Specialty boards certify physicians that meet certain published standards. There are 24 specialty boards that are recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and the American Medical Association (AMA). A specialist has graduated medical school and received an MD (Medical Doctorate) or DO (Doctor of Osteopathy). The physician then completes three to eight years of additional training in an accredited residency program. Each specialist must pass a written examination given by a specialty board. Fifteen of the specialty boards also require an oral examination. All of the ABMS Boards issue a time-limited certificate, which are valid for six to 10 years. In order to retain certification, physicians must become recertified and must show continuing education in the specialty. You can review a brief description of the surgical specialty areas our website. You can check on specialty certification of specific physicians through the ABMS, through the link: "Is Your Doctor Certified." You will need to register, just follow their directions. After registering, click on "Is Your Doctor Certified" and enter your search information. In addition, verbal verification of a physician's board certification is available through the ABMS toll-free telephone service. Call: 1-866-ASK-ABMS (275-2267). You can also check verification in The Official ABMS Directory of Board Certified Medical Specialists. In most cases, a surgeon who is board certified and/or a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons will have certificates verifying these credentials on display in their office. If not, another way is to simply ask the surgeon for his or her credentials. Or you can phone your state or county medical association for assistance.

Tech News: Gmail Offers Always HTTPS Option
I always prefer to connect and log-in to websites via https. They're a lot more secure and is highly recommended for those leeching off free Wi-Fi connections, using Internet cafe terminals, and to those who are just plain paranoid.
Previously, you can only do this by manually entering the https://mail.google.com in your URL bar, or perhaps bookmark it, or use a Firefox plug-in to automatically do it for you. But Google is kind enough to create an always https option inside Gmail.
Accessing Settings -> General in Gmail would show you this option at the bottom. By enabling it, Google will be kind enough to switch you to an https connection automatically.
Caveat for Gmail Mobile users though.

[UPDATE for 11/2/2010] Please disregard this blog post. The product group has now clarified nothing changed in the .ISO and they only changed the version number on the manifest for the download center. I am not happy about that. Sorry for the false alarm. I received some bad information. Next time I'll double check first.
Thanks for noting this Keith. I saw that come out last week, but I was unable to figure out what was different. Mystery solved!
Welcome. I also mentioned to the team it would be beneficial to us if they would provide a change log or something with that type of information.
when I download the ISO (DE, EN) it has the same date and file hash like the old version from 2009. I can't see any difference.
Any ideas?
The product has now stated the only thing that changed is the version number of the download center manifest. Not happy about it.
Hi Keith,
ok, thanks for the answer.

There is no denying it: retro clothing has come into its own. Vintage stores abound and more and more designers are incorporating the trends of half a century ago into the styles they send to retail shops. While you could certainly patronize a store dedicated only to 1950s style, any piece you spy there is likely to be quite expensive. So long as you understand what you are searching for, almost any clothing store—or even your local sewing shop—can serve your fashion needs.
Sources for 1950s Fashion
For any woman looking to create an outfit based on 1950s style, one of the first sources to spring to mind might be a vintage clothing store. While this is certainly a good lead, true vintage clothing of good quality is, predictably, expensive. Pieces must arrive in the store with relatively little wear and tear to be of any value to a store billing itself as vintage. For plus size women, the added consideration is the sizing component. Though the same nominal sizes are used, the values attached to the numbers have changed. What was called a size 14 in the 1950s may now be represented by a size 8 to 10. So dresses and skirts for plus size women are unlikely
to be available in resale shops. For those who are inclined to the sewing machine, however, vintage patterns are widely available, relatively easy to scale up or down, and will produce a vintage garment for less cost than could ever be purchased in a vintage store. And the greatest benefit of going the DIY route is that you can design it to your exact needs and desires. But one can certainly find pieces emblematic of the 1950s in modern retail stores.
The 1950s Dress
Even when other parts of an outfit might change, the most central part of a 1950s ensemble, for a woman, was the dress. It might be fancy for an evening out, plain and utilitarian for wearing around the house, or simply pretty for a meeting with a friend. Women rarely wore pants; although tailored slacks with equally tailored blouses were worn around the home or at occasions that were clearly casual, when a dress was not worn, it was because a skirt had been chosen instead. Therefore, the key component of any sort of a 1950s style outfit will be a dress.
So, what to look for in a dress that will resemble (or not) the one worn by your
mother or grandmother? The garment itself was highly versatile, and could be worn many ways. Dresses with high empire waists were quite popular, as it emphasized the narrowness of the waist in comparison to the hips and the bust. The hourglass shape had become popular after the war, a fitting reminder of the return to the old order disrupted by World War II. Scoop-necked and dresses with high collars will work nicely, particularly specimens with fitted sleeves, though bare shoulders were not uncommon, particularly in evening dresses. Belts helped with the process, and darker belts work nicely. But once again, the style did change, with shirt and sack dresses also seeing popularity.
Dress Alternatives, and Other Important Items
Skirts, whether as separate pieces or as the bottom of a dress, had shortened to falling a bit below the knee. They tended to be full at the hem, once again emphasizing that hourglass shape. Petticoats were sometimes worn beneath them, forming the full structure and the shape immortalized in the poodle skirt. Such undergarments are not necessary, but can certainly help to form a structure that calls to mind a more casual, youthful feel. But, depending on what part of the 1950s you wish to emulate, you might be interested in a slimmer skirt that fits closer to the body, which has the benefit of emphasizing curves.
And what of accessories? Handbags were fairly small, squarish items, with handles
for the eponymous carrying method. Hats, scarves, the famous string of pearls, and gloves were also common, as well as shoes featuring short stiletto heels. This might be one of the best ways to inject a little bit of modern fashion into your outfit, bringing the past into the present.
A 1950s outfit hardly a difficult one to put together. The classic image is one of clean lines with glamorous, refined accents that still has a hold on women today. It is available to any woman who wants to don it, and grasp that image of the refined, yet very feminine, silhouette.

FX cancels The Riches
But the show's potential was never realized, either creatively or in the ratings. The show always had trouble balancing dark comedy and intense drama, and it strained to make the audience care about the Malloys, who were dealing with the consequences of stealing the American Dream. At the end of its aborted second season, FX had not committed either way to bringing the show back. Well, now we know: Mike Ausiello of EW confirmed yesterday that The Riches has been cancelled.
As you can tell, I'm not surprised by this. The show's dark turn last year took away the light touches that made this show watchable. Hopefully Izzard and especially Driver -- she was nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her performance on the show -- use this as a jump-off point for more long-term TV careers. Both had a presence on the screen that I'd love to see more of over the next few years.

After her letter and pictures last week, DOMAI member Leigh got fantastic amounts of really positive mail. (Not that this was any surprise to me.) One of the letter struck me as particularly important, so I asked the letterwriter Lawrence to elaborate and send it to me. He did, and you can read it underneath. One thing I find of particular notice is how a man can chance his own viewpoints and reactions. This is something that only very few people are able to do yet, but I think it is an important point for mankind to develop if we are to florish and prosper as a species.
Eolake Stobblehouse
Letter of the week, from Lawrence:
Dear DOMAI,
I have enjoyed this web site very much and especially the stories contained in the weekly newsletters. I came to this site like so many, who enjoy the nude figures without all the sexual overtones and gestures. I recently responded to Leigh's letter about her personally experiences and thoughts on the nude female form and would like to share some of that with you.
Everyone has had an experience or two that has changed or altered their lives. Well, one such event happened to our family about thirteen years ago. At that time we had only the two girls. The oldest was three years old and the other one was just a year behind. I heard a loud noise from upstairs and as it turned out they were both jumping on their beds nude.
I lost it, and spanked them both and told them to get dressed. My wife, who happens to be German (the Germans are not hung up on nudity like us), asked me if that was necessary. So, I decided to give it some thought and came to the realization the problem was with me and not my girls. I had reacted to the fact they were both nude and I was taught growing up, that nudity was "bad". Interestingly enough, not long after that incident, I was reading a local paper that highlighted the nudist lifestyle. Here was an opportunity to overcome my old beliefs on nudity, and so I asked my wife about going to a nudist camp and she said she would give it a try. One weekend we made a road trip with our two girls to a local club for our first nude experience as a family and it wasn't going to be the last. It amazed me how fast we were undressed and swimming with people we didn't even know. We have been nudists for a while now, and Eolake is right about it being a very relaxed place. And yes, even though it seems the young pretty girls get all the attention, you do not see men walking around aroused with an erection. It just doesn't happen. The attention these beauties get is not a lusting for, but rather an admiration for who they are. There is that innocence and childlikeness that emanates from them that I think really defines where they are in life (and where many of us wish we could be, even for just a moment in time).
A lot has passed since that day my girls were jumping nude on the bed. I certainly have learned a lot from that one experience and that one life-changing event. Because of that, we are very open as a family and have made many friends since. I see a day when being nude in itself is not frowned on, and nude girls are not looked upon as sexual objects but the beauty they are.

Pair arrested after grow house, 64 pounds of marijuana found in Port St. Lucie | Photos
PORT ST. LUCIE — A husband and wife were arrested Tuesday after police found about 64 pounds of marijuana in their home, the garage of which allegedly contained a pot farming area, according to police and records released Wednesday.
Karel Felipe, 30, and 26-year-old Alysen Acosta each face felony charges of cultivation of cannabis, trafficking cannabis and possession of marijuana with intent to sell after Port St. Lucie police searched their home in the 1000 block of Southwest Bay State Road. Police began investigating following a November tip to Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers.
Felipe took investigators through the home and opened the door to the garage, which "contained a complete cannabis grow room," arrest affidavits state. Investigators found air purifiers, lighting equipment and more than 50 pounds of "raw" marijuana inside. The plants had been cut down.
"That's what we were looking for," an investigator said.
"You were gonna find it anyway," Felipe is quoted as saying.
The couple's three young children were turned over to their grandfather, who reportedly lives in Miami, police said.
Police searched the master bedroom and turned up more than 10 pounds of marijuana in gallon-size bags. An additional pound of pot was found when investigators looked in the kitchen. The marijuana has an estimated value of $1,500 to $2,000 a pound, police said.
Listed as unemployed, Acosta initially said the marijuana farm was hers and that Felipe knew nothing about it. She later asked for a lawyer and refused to talk with police.
Felipe, whose listed occupation is lawn maintenance, said he knew about the operation and was involved in maintaining it.
Karel Felipe is the listed owner of the home, which was purchased in March 2006 for $221,000, according to records accessed through the St. Lucie County Property Appraiser's website.
Police said the home is in foreclosure.

Sandell: Analyzing Gophers' schedule, will they take a step forward?
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Editor's note: In time for the Gophers' season opener against Eastern Illinois, Nate Sandell breaks down Minnesota's schedule and what one might expect to see in Jerry Kill's fourth season in charge.
Eastern Illinois - Aug. 28
This isn't the same Eastern Illinois squad that rose to the No. 2-seed in the FCS playoffs last season. Standout quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has gone on to the NFL and head coach Dino Babers has moved to Bowling Green, replaced by first-time head coach Kim Dameron.
Changes aside, Eastern Illinois is still not a team to scoff at, coming in ranked No. 11 in the preseason FCS poll. The Gophers could struggle early in the opener as their offense works out the kinks, but they shouldn't have too much trouble pulling off a feel-good start to the season.
Middle Tennessee State - Sept. 6
Middle Tennessee State, helmed by nine-year head coach Rick Stockstill, should offer up more of a challenge than Eastern Illinois. The Blue Raiders have a strong stable of varied running backs, which will serve as a good early test for Minnesota's defensive front lines. But the Gophers' defense, specifically the secondary, is geared to cause trouble for first-year starting QB Austin Grammer. How QB Mitch Leidner and the Gophers' pass game develops from Game 1 to Game 2 will be an area to watch.
At Texas Christian University - Sept. 13
This is where things get interesting. TCU is the primary threat on the Gophers' nonconference slate, and likely the only roadblock that could prevent an eventual third straight 4-0 start. Given Minnesota's brutal schedule in the season's final month, this game could prove to be a major difference maker in the Gophers' bid for a more preferred bowl destination.
Minnesota has gone 5-12 away from TCF Bank Stadium, including a pair of bowl losses, in Kill's first three seasons. It may take the Gophers' best road showing of the Kill era so far to take down the Horned Frogs in Fort Worth. Returning nine starters to the second-best defense in the Big 12 last season, TCU is out to redeem itself after stumbling to a disheartening 4-8 record in 2013. The effectiveness of Leidner and Co. once again could be a deciding factor.
San Jose State - Sept. 20
Just like last season, the Gophers close out the nonconference with a home matchup against the Spartans. Even though star QB David Fales threw for 439 yards and three touchdowns, Minnesota still held San Jose State in check by dominating in the run game (353 rushing yards) in Leidner' fill-in start - the first of his career.
The Spartans are now without Fales, who is currently a rookie with the Chicago Bears. That leaves SJSU's offense searching to form a new identity. The Spartans may be in for some early growing pains, with a showdown against Auburn awaiting them one week prior to heading to Minneapolis. If the Gophers' can lock down control of the game's tempo once again, they should remain in the driver's seat in this one.
Big 10 schedule
At Michigan - Sept. 27
Part of the Gophers' vision for forward progress this season is coming up with rivalry game wins. They get their first chance right away in Big Ten play. The Gophers are 2-8 in trophy games under Kill, and haven't won the Little Brown Jug since 2005 at the Big House.
Nine years later, could Minnesota pull off another stunner in Ann Arbor? Michigan has backtracked under Brady Hoke, going from 11-2 in 2011 to 7-6 last season. Coordinator Doug Nussmeier has been tasked with the revitalization of the Wolverine offense, which despite its yearlong struggles anchored a 42-13 rout of the Gophers in 2013. However, it's clear Michigan is not the Big Ten power it once was.
The Gophers have been outscored 100-13 in two trips to Ann Arbor during the Kill era, but this is their best chance in a while to end its losing streak against the Wolverines (six straight losses) and notch that elusive "signature road win." Still, beating a Michigan team that is trying to prove last 7-6 season was a fluke on its home turf is an enormous task.
Northwestern - Oct. 11
The Wildcats' once-promising 2013 campaign flamed out - seven straight losses - thanks in part to several crushing close defeats. Their attempt at redeeming themselves hasn't gotten off to the start they hoped. Running back Venric Mark was suspended and eventually transferred during fall camp. Plus, top receiver Christian Jones was lost to a season-ending knee injury.
All is not lost for the Pat Fitzgerald's Wildcats, but amid the flurry of off-field distractions they've faced, they are certainly vulnerable. Northwestern's visit to TCF Bank Stadium kicks off a three-game stretch in which the Gophers could provide some positive padding for their Big Ten record.
Purdue - Oct. 18
If the Gophers want to continue to improve their reputation in the conference, defeating the sub-par Boilermakers at home is a must. Again, this is a vital point in the Gophers' season as it presents their best chance to rack up wins before the difficulty level increases considerably in November. It can't get much worse for the Boilermakers, who are recovering from the worst season in program history (1-11). Coach Darrell Hazell's second season might not be as rough, but Purdue is still in for an uphill climb.
At Illinois - Oct. 25
Sandwiched between games at Wisconsin and Ohio State, as well as a bye week, the Illini's meeting with the Gophers may be critical to their hopes of reaching the six-win plateau for the first time in three seasons under Tim Beckman. This is the type of winnable game the Gophers are now at a point where they need to prove they can handle convincingly. The best case scenario is Minnesota leaves Champaign with a respectable win streak - the perfect confidence booster heading into their final four games.
Iowa - Nov. 8
The fight for the Floyd of Rosedale serves as the start to a four-game gauntlet. Despite losing three high-impact starters at linebacker, the Hawkeyes boast a formidable squad and could become a strong contender for the Big Ten West title.
Iowa overpowered Minnesota in its trip to TCF Bank Stadium last year. That loss left a lasting sting for the Gophers. Minnesota is in position to add a rivalry trophy to its case this year. The best opportunity to do so is at Michigan or home against the Hawkeyes. A win over Iowa would likely resonate more with postseason bowl committees.
Ohio State - Nov. 15
After a three-year reprieve, the Gophers are once again set for a showdown with Ohio State. Braxton Miller's injury came as a crushing blow for the Buckeyes, who entered fall camp with national title aspirations. But while they've certainly lost some of their luster, Urban Meyer's Buckeyes still carry plenty of intrigue, especially when it comes to whether or not they can make up for the loss of their star.
This game is looks more prime for an upset by the Gophers than it did a few weeks ago. Could this be a letdown game for Buckeyes? It comes a week after their highly-anticipated faceoff with Michigan State, which prior to Miller's injury was projected to determine the winner of the Big Ten's East division. Any extra edge the Gophers could get on Senior Day would be a plus. Like Ohio State, Minnesota will have to rally quickly after facing Iowa - a matchup that is sure to be taxing emotionally and physically, regardless of the end result.
At Nebraska - Nov. 22
For the second straight time, the Gophers' visit to Memorial Stadium comes on Senior Day in Lincoln. It won't be Tom Osborne appreciation day as it was when the Gophers were trounced 38-14 in 2012, but upsetting the Cornhuskers in their home finale would is a long shot for Minnesota, though Iowa did it in 2013 in a 38-17 win. The Cornhuskers, with running back Ameer Abdullah and receiver Kenny Bell back on offense, look ready for another march towards a possible nine-win season.
At Wisconsin - Nov. 29
Paul Bunyan's Axe, the prize in the longest running rivalry in the FBS, has been in Wisconsin's possession for the past decade. The Badgers don't appear ready to give it up yet. A win in Madison, where the Gophers haven't won since 1994, would easily be Minnesota's biggest victory in years. But Wisconsin might have too much going for them by season's end to let the Gophers slip by. However, the stakes could be raised considerably for both sides, depending on how the West division standings and postseason picture shake out by the season finale.
Season outlook:
Progress has been and continues to be made by Kill's Gophers, but it remains to be seen if they can take a step forward this season. While their schedule doesn't make it easy, it also presents several opportunities for the head-turning wins they seek. This seems to be the year the Gophers could grab a key rivalry victory. Minnesota's matchup against Michigan is probably the best bet, though it will be played at the Big House.
Minnesota is still a work in progress, albeit with the potential to catch a few teams off guard. This season may be a case in which the Gophers win seven games, one less than they did in 2013, but the year is still considered a success. That's only possible if they can pull off at least one signature victory (Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio State), while showing improvements on the offensive end and in their overall competitiveness.
The Gophers' first four games of Big Ten play are their most critical. All four are winnable, and if they find a way traverse that stretch successfully they could be in position to match or better their 2013 win total. That's a big if.

eldril@... asked this question on 5/4/2000:
What can you tell me about Starline? Am looking at a 1977, 18 ft. tri hull bowrider with 115 Merc outboard - rebuilt engine top & bottom. Seems like a decent beginning boat. Thank you!!
cetaylor gave this response on 5/4/2000:
This company went out of business in 1997 in Georgia, but their boats have a decent reputation. The tri-hull is a little shallow for big water, but fine for small to medium sized lakes. It would appear that this would be a reasonable starter boat. Get a reputable mechanic to check out the boat BEFORE purchase.

Website: http://www.matsuri.com.au/
My sister used to study here when back in 1994, and Matsuri had already existed right where is located now. They have since done quite a bit of renovations – especially the outside of their establishment.
I have returned to this place many times largely due to their reasonable prices (relative to the size of their portions) and their quick service. However, I can't help but feel that it's become a tad bit like a restaurant working on mass production for their food.
Anyhow. Onto the technical bits of the place!
Matsuri prides itself with the set meals that it offers to the customers… from sashimi sets, to tempura udon sets, to other sushi sets, this place is definitely a go-er for those who feel a tad hungry!
They have got a rather variety of entrees too, but their servings for them are a tad on the small side. I have tried a couple of them but only have a weak spot for one of them, which I will talk about in a moment!
Unfortunately, I couldn't get a photo of the drinks menu, but they do have one, with wine and beer on the list… Sapparo and Asahi would be the choices I would go for, considering they are Japanese beer. My personal pick would be Asahi :)
So… onto the orders fo this evening… I decided to take my usual, with my mates ordering the popular dishes too:
- Tempura Udon Set (ME!)
- Una Don Set (i.e. Grilled eel with some yummy marinade and rice)
- Oyako Don Set (i.e. chicken/pork cooked with some egg over a bed of rice)
We had my favourite entree too!
- Tako Ponzu (Cooked octopus with seaweed drenched with a nice vinegar and lime sauce…)
So my mouth's already watering just mentioning that entree.
Before I dive into the details of each set… there are some common side dishes for each set that you order:
Salad (with a great dressing!!)
Miso soup (who wouldn't love some?)
Sauteed bean sprouts (not a favourite for some, but I love it)
The takoponzu is my personal favourite entree of all time, and it is usually this dish that pulls me back to Matsuri. The only restaurant to serve this (to my knowledge thus far at least) here in Perth, it certainly brings your appetite up. The slight sourness of the vinegar and the tangy feel of the lime just makes one a happy camper. :) I know I am everytime I have this. Even for those who are not too fond of sour things, please do give this a shot. I would give this a 4.5/5 as a dish!
The tempura udon has always been quite a favourite of mine. The difference between this place and other japanese places I have been to is that they assume the tempura dish to be on its own, thus they will place the tempura separately on a plate, with the tempura sauce on the side. Most places would serve the tempura on top of the udon in soup, making it soggy once you start digging in (not a plus for many). They also give a little serving of sushi, which is made up of avocado, fresh salmon, and a little bit of japanese mayonnaise.
The udon in soup is quite plain, but it will do much better if you just ask for some chilli powder from any of the friendly waitresses. this dish is filling, so for anyone who's looking for a quick and rather yummy fix to the tummy (especially if you're thinking of partying that very night without getting too pissed)… then this is one order you can go with :)
The una-don looked pale in comparison to the tempura udon set, in terms of the serving and content of the set. Served in a typical japanese rice box, the eel was placed on top of the rice and it is quite a generous serve. To those who haven't tried eel, it's a fish but has a rather slimey feel to it. I would be a fan if not for my rather high cholestrol levels. It sits very nicely on the pallette (for most people)… but it can get a tad fishy. The sauce that they smear on top of it is really tasty (this is common in most japanese places).
The oyako don would be the order for the one who wants something towards the normal end of the scale, altho' it can be rather tasty. I have not tried this dish personally, but I have heard average reviews about the taste. Just like the una-don, it comes with the rice box, chicken and egg on top of a bed of rice.
The service is effective, however it takes a while to get the attention of the waitresses sometimes, largely due to how busy they all are. As with most japanese places, they've got a rather friendly crew there, always willing to make your meal a little more enjoyable wherever they can help it.
Do be aware that they have "booking hours" due to how popular and busy they are. They are all featured on the website. Do have a look.
The quality of the food has gone downhill over the years in my opinion, and if it's not for the takoponzu, I find myself only going there if friends suggest that place. However, it will still be worth going because this is a good place to have a dinner in the city without feeling too much pain from the money-pouch perspective.

Minutes 02.28.13
University of Virginia School of
Curriculum Committee Executive Management Group
Minutes – 02.28.13
Pediatric Conference Room, 4:00 p.m.
Present (underlined) were: Peter Ham, Donald Innes (Chair), Keith Littlewood, Nancy McDaniel, Bart Nathan, Casey White, Mary Kate Worden, Debra Reed (Secretary)
- Clerkship Progress in Developing Learning Objectives and
Defining Resources. A document that tracks Clerkship progress in
the development of learning objectives and defining resources was
distributed and reviewed by the group. Michelle Yoon will
add the resources to the document as they become available.
- Instructional Methods, Assessment Methods, Resource
Types. A list of current UVA SOM instructional types and
methods compared to AAMC standards was discussed with John
Jackson. The Committee approved the addition of new instructional
type designations to curriculum activities and changes and/or deletion
of others. John Jackson will incorporate these into Oasis so that
reporting will be expedited in the future. Whether one activity
can be cross-classified in two different AAMC activity types was
discussed. John will research this. Clerkship and system
coordinators will be responsible for entering these activity/assessment
"types" into Oasis but will need guidance from Clerkship and System
- New Course/Clerkship Names and
Definitions. The two new courses Foundations of
Medicine (MED 6712) and Cells, Tissues and Mechanisms of Disease (MED
6714) approved by the Curriculum Committee last week have been approved
by the University Registrar and entered into the University of Virginia
catalogue. The new courses replace Molecular and Cellular
Medicine (MED 6710).
Foundations of Medicine introduces the scientific principles that underlie the practice of medicine as well as the psychosocial, communication and ethical issues important for patient care. Biochemistry, pharmacology, genetics, cell biology, physiology and epidemiology are emphasized as they relate to human health and disease. The importance of the doctor-patient relationship is introduced, as is an ethical approach to issues in medicine.
Cells, Tissues and Mechanisms of Disease introduces the organization of the human body emphasizing human development and cell and tissue function. This foundation is extended to the study of pathologic mechanisms of disease including cell injury, adaptation and death, inflammation, healing, circulatory disturbances and neoplasia. Neoplasia is the model for application of foundational concepts in genetics, growth regulation and clinical research.
- The Surgical Specialty clerkship rotations are clinical
experiences where the student becomes a member of specialty surgical
teams and applies general surgical principles [medical knowledge,
professionalism, communication skills, practice-based learning]
integral to the diagnosis and management of patients. Currently there
are rotations in Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedics,
Otolaryngology, Plastics and Urology.
- SMD 2016 Clerkship Calendar. The Committee reviewed a
proposed calendar for the clerkship year for SMD2016. Nancy
McDaniel asked for and was granted a two week extension before the
Curriculum Committee will approve this schedule to allow CPD to develop
a proposal for both the transition course and the
intersession(s). The Committee will revisit this on
3/14/13. The Committee briefly discussed where to move workshops
that have been displaced from the shortened AIM clerkship. Please see
minutes of last week - #6 Patient safety (Peggy Plews-Ogan) and
Information Management (John Voss) will be strategically placed
elsewhere in the clerkship curriculum.
- Criteria for Content in the NxGen Curriculum. Don
Innes and Mary Kate Worden are working on a document that will outline
the criteria for content in the NxGen Curriculum. A draft of the
document was distributed and discussed. The draft outlines two
criteria for content that must be included are 1) Content that is
necessary for good performance on the clerkships, and 2) Content that
is necessary for a practice by a generalist physician. The
Committee suggested that a third requirement be added that would
require basic science content that all physicians should know.
The draft will be further developed and brought to the Curriculum
Committee in the future.

As you've watched the Olympics over the past two weeks, have you seen any 47th place trophies handed out?
Being the 47th state to do anything shouldn't be cause for celebration, but it should be enough for me that last year the state of Mississippi modified their animal cruelty laws to make animal cruelty a felony instead of a misdemeanor. Upon further inspection of the law, however, the changes just aren't good enough.
According to the current law, Mississippians are subject to a felony charge on the second offense of animal cruelty. Yes, you read that correctly: the second. ...

ATLANTA - The Mega Millions jackpot is now the largest in U.S. lottery history.
Georgia Lottery officials say the jackpot reached $500 million on Wednesday. It has rolled 18 times since Marcia Adams of College Park won $72 million in the Jan. 24 drawing.
A winner could get $19.2 million a year for 26 years or a single payment worth $359 million. The next drawing is Friday at 11 p.m. EST.
Previously, the largest jackpot was $390 million, won by two players in Georgia and New Jersey in March 2007.
In Tuesday night's game, 47 players came very close, matching 5 of the 6 winning numbers. Each of those tickets is worth at least $250,000.
Mega Millions is played in more than 40 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The winning numbers Tuesday night were: Nine, 19, 34, 44 and 51. The Mega Ball was 24.

Tell the GOP Candidates: Reject Bachmann's Support of Reparative Therapy
Leading Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann and her husband, Marcus, hold some of the most extreme and disturbing anti-LGBT views of any candidate and spouse.
Dr. Marcus Bachmann once said gay people were "barbarians" who "needed to be disciplined." But the Bachmanns' homophobia goes well beyond words alone: They've both publicly supported the dangerous theory of "ex-gay," which says homosexuality can be cured or even prayed away.
Congresswoman Bachmann openly supported the ex-gay theory at a 2004 Conference, referring then to the "deep emotional wounds" that being gay causes and the "message of healing that is possible." Marcus Bachmann's clinic also reportedly offers ex-gay therapy, which the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association have both strongly repudiated.
Join us in calling on all of the Republican presidential candidates to speak out against the Bachmanns' dangerous, homophobic activities and stand against "ex-gay" therapy.
Despite these strong rebukes from the medical field's top professionals, Michele Bachmann and her husband Marcus have continued to advance the "ex-gay" theory. Marcus Bachmann – who practices unlicensed in Minnesota and whose clinic has received more than $100,000 in Medicaid funding – reportedly offers reparative therapy.
I urge you to take a public stand against "ex-gay" therapy and the insidious anti-gay ideology behind it. Join me in sending a message to all Americans that this dangerous practice harms those who undergo it and contributes to homophobia.

£1.2bn spent to beat swine flu… and just 26 lives saved

FLASHBACK: H1N1-GATE: Big Pharma, WHO crafted 'organized panic,' European health head claims

UK Daily Mail
August 2, 2010
The £1.2billion spent on tackling the swine flu pandemic that never was may have saved as few as 26 lives at a cost of up to £46million each, an astonishing study has found.
The vast sum spent on vaccinations, anti-virals and facemasks prevented such a paltry number of deaths because the virus turned out to be far less deadly than normal flu.
The £46milllion cost of saving each life is enough to pay the salary of almost 2,000 nurses.
And, amazingly, ministers believe the number of saved lives estimated by the Health Protection Agency could actually be an over-estimate.

House approves new biz, self-employed tax cuts
PHOENIX — A sharply divided Arizona House gave final approval Wednesday to
a pair of business tax cuts that supporters say will help the economy by
encouraging employers to add jobs and making up for increased federal
withholding taxes.
The bill, which passed 32-27 with an unusual split that saw support and
opposition from both Democrats and Republicans, provides property tax breaks for
businesses that expand and creates a 2 percent tax deduction for the first
$114,000 self-employed people earn in a year.
"One thing I like about this tax cut is it will directly affect small
businesses," said Rep. Ruben Gallego, a Phoenix Democrat who supported the
The bill, which now heads to the state Senate, generated some of the hottest
debate of the session.
Some stood in opposition, even Republicans, some of whom said the bill lowered
the wrong taxes.
"The best way to grow Arizona is to give broad-based tax relief to everyone,"
said Rep. John Kavanagh, the Republican chair of the House Appropriations
"Let's start lowering the Arizona income tax rate to zero, then the CEOs will
want to live here because it's better for them," he said after the floor
Other critics warned that the costs of the reductions were just too high and
predicted that the state will face tough budget years in the future.
Supporters ultimately countered these arguments by touting the boost to small
businesses and saying that the measures put Arizona in a better competitive
position with nearby states.
The value of the business tax break, which provides reductions for businesses
that purchase or construct new buildings and new equipment, isn't known. The
self-employed reduction is valued at $58 million a year.
The self-employment tax cut is intended to offset a 2 percent increase in
Social Security withholding tax that went into effect Jan. 1.
Rep. Tom Forese and House speaker Andy Tobin, both Republicans and proponents
of the plan, said it would help create jobs by encouraging companies to expand.
The proposal builds on previous Republican efforts to make Arizona's tax
climate more business friendly.
Another tax credit that passed the House this week is designed to funnel
savings that insurance companies receive from lowered premium taxes into a new
high-tech fund overseen by the Arizona Commerce Authority.
That bill gives insurers a credit against their premium taxes of up to $10
million in the budget year beginning July 1 and $20 million in the next two
years for the investments. They can carry unused credits forward for 15 years if
they can't use it in the year it's earned.
The tax cuts come before the bulk of a Republican-championed 2011 economic
development package comes on line. Business tax cuts, valued at $538 million
when fully in place in 2018, and a capital gains tax cut, benefiting wealthy
Arizona residents valued at $108 million, are key parts of that package.
The new cuts also come during a tight budget year when a temporary sales tax
that brought in about $1 billion a year and helped the state avoid more budgets
cuts is set to expire.
Minority Democrats generally oppose additional tax cuts, arguing the state
needs to restore funding to schools and services cut during the Great Recession.
But they have been somewhat supportive of some cuts designed to spur economic
Rep. Debbie McCune Davis, D-Phoenix, said she supported the original part of
the bill that addressed business property tax rates because she believes it is
good economic development policy. The $58 million tax break for the
self-employed put her in the "no" column, however.
"At this point," McCune Davis said, "I haven't seen a budget. I haven't seen
that we're addressing issues related to Child Protective Services. I haven't
seen that we're doing what we need to do with education, and giving a tax break
without knowing where the money is coming from isn't sensible."

Rossi Concedes U.S. Senate Race to Murray
Democratic Sen. Patty Murray pushed past Republican challenger Dino Rossi on Thursday, winning a fourth term after three days of vote tallying in Washington's slow vote-by-mail election.
Murray's victory was secured Thursday as tallies pushed her lead to about 46,000 votes out of more than 1.8 million counted, or about 51 percent to 49 percent. About three-quarters of the expected ballots had been counted in unofficial returns.
Hundreds of thousands of ballots still await processing, but an Associated Press analysis determined Murray's lead would be insurmountable.
Rossi conceded the U.S. Senate race against Murray on Thursday.
In Kitsap and North Mason counties, candidates who appeared victorious in counts on Tuesday widened their leads.
Incumbent state Rep. Kathy Haigh, a Democrat, gained on Republican opponent Dan Griffey in the race for 35th District Position 1 seat. She leads by 717 votes, compared with 652 on Wednesday, putting her farther out of recount territory. A machine recount occurs with a difference of .5 percentage points or less. Haigh is ahead by 1.72 percentage points.
Incumbent Democrat state Rep. Larry Seaquist inched forward in his bid to retain his 26th District Position 2 seat. On Wednesday, he had 51.81 percent of the vote. By Thursday evening, he was at 51.87, with 1,791 more votes than Republican Doug Richards.
In the race for Central Kitsap County Commissioner, Democrat Josh Brown was leading Republican challenger Abby Burlingame by 4,812 votes and 6.66 percentage points, up from 6.09 on Wednesday.
In the Kitsap County prosecutor's race, Russ Hauge was leading challenger Bruce Danielson by 3,363 votes. Hauge, a Democrat, had 52.29 percent of the vote, up a mere .03 percentage points since Wednesday.
There are 29,000 ballots left to count in Kitsap County.
