Real estate agent Roberta Crawford wants to tear down the Vanguard, a nightclub owned and operated by a group of young performers, and replace it with an office building. Vicki, Roberta's niece, visits the club with Roger Kelly, her arrogant and spoiled boyfriend, and becomes attracted to Mel Hudson, the singer who is determined to keep the club going. On Vicki's 21st birthday, she announces her independence from her aunt and takes a job at the club. Despite Roberta's harassment, the club continues to operate until it burns down. Vickie accuses her aunt of arson, but Mel explains that faulty wiring caused the fire. Roberta then has a change of heart, offers to provide better facilities for the club, and gives a lavish birthday party for Vicki.

The 3 Hatch looks even better-balanced than the 3 Sedan, thanks in part to its unusually long wheelbase and wider stance that outdistance competitors such as the Volkswagen Golf and Mercedes B-Class.
Increased dimensions give Qoros 3 Hatch one of roomiest cabins in class.
The multinational team at Qoros is keeping its promises with the precision of a Swiss watch, coming back to next month's Geneva auto show with its second model in the range ready for production.
One year after unveiling the Qoros 3 Sedan, the joint venture, a 50-50 collaboration between China's Chery and investment group Israel Corp., is coming back with the 5-door Qoros 3 Hatch 5.
Although the new model is 8.4 ins. (215 mm) shorter than the Sedan, the Hatch shares the same wheelbase of 105.9 ins. (2,690 mm).
The car's styling is the work of German Gert Volker Hildebrand, Qoros executive director-design and one of the most creative and passionate designers in the industry.
The 3 Hatch looks even better-balanced than the 3 Sedan from which it is derived, thanks in part to its unusually long wheelbase and wider stance that outdistance competitors such as the Volkswagen Golf and Mercedes B-Class.
That, in addition to an overall length of 174.7 ins. (4,438 mm) that is 3.1 ins. (80 mm) longer than the Golf's, will be a plus in most markets, beginning with China. The car also is 1.6 ins. (40 mm) wider than the Golf.
The increased dimensions make the 5-passenger cabin one of the roomiest in its class, and the automaker is filling it with plenty of goodies. Four trim levels will be offered: Essence, Experience, Experience Plus and Elegance. All are equipped with a high-resolution, 3.5-in. (8.9-cm) capacitive touchscreen infotainment system and will offer 3G connectivity.
Under the hood will be one of two 1.6L 16-valve DOHC engines with variable valve timing, also shared with the Changshu, China-built 3 Sedan.
One is the naturally-aspirated unit, with variable induction system, producing 126 hp and maximum torque of 114 lb.-ft. (155 Nm) at 3,900 rpm.
The second engine is turbocharged, increasing output 24% to 156 hp and 155 lb.-ft. (210 Nm) over a broad rev range between 1,750 and 5,000 rpm. Mated to a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, the turbocharged 3 Hatch will deliver 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration in 9.7 seconds and a top speed of 130 mph (210 km/h).
"Hatchback buyers and sedan buyers are very different consumer groups, both remarkably loyal to their preferred body style," notes Hildebrand, who led two design teams in Munich and Shanghai. "It is for this reason that we focused on creating a bold, compact and dynamic form for the Hatch, incorporating many visual cues which younger consumers regard as synonymous with trendy, sporty vehicles."

^^Good teamwork. Nicely done.
A teammate created this for our local series. Some on-bike shots (and and obvious kit in the pack) are from the elite nat. crit champ:
Trying something new. Track video series from Saturday Night. Here's the first. I should have been racing.
"Cycling is primitive. You just have to pedal" - AK
"I had lactic acid coming out of my ears" - FC
"I get paid to make other people suffer on my wheel, how good is that?!" - JV
Here's a barcam of Sunday's City Park Criterium in Denver, the 35+ cat 4 field. I took the first two laps, all three prime laps, and the last four laps - except that when I restarted the camera at four to go I knocked it loose, so that part's on the crappy side.
This is basically the same course as the race I posted a couple months ago. I like to think it shows some improvement in my riding, if not my videography. The course is heavy on the roundabouts, which I find kind of fun, something different at least, but that feature seems to make the event less popular in general.
Nice. I remember that race. Last time I raced it was as a cat 5, and we were able to run both citizen and cat 4 races the same day (2nd and 3rd for me). Back then though, there were no roundabouts, and there was a 130-degree right-hand dogleg turn that was causing some crashes, as it was a 250m to go. Back then Turin was sponsoring the race... are they still?
Yes, Turin is still sponsoring. It's one of the longest-running races in Denver, and it's been Turn for at least most of that time.
I did the race back in '97 as a cat 4. It was my first good result after moving to Colorado (it took me a few weeks to adapt to the altitude). It was the same course as now, except the finish was on the long straight on the bottom and they took the easy way across what is now roundabout 1. I know that for a few years after that, maybe in the early naughts, they used a longer course that I think had the 130 degree turn you refer to, but it also used couple of the roundabouts. I wasn't racing then but I live in the area and wandered by a couple times. When did you race it?
Truly compelling stuff...pursuit bike slo mo
A teammate produced another film of the US crit champ racing at The Driveway. His team is the wheel he's on at 1:22 (red S-Works). Strong team around here. Having been out of racing this year, this film got my heart racing thinking about it...

Yeah, I like it too. Lots of good stuff in there (much of which is covered by CDR in various posts and videos). It's cool too see it all in action from the view of the guy wearing the stars and stripes.
BTW: the red mohawk is the "jersey" for the most aggressive rider from the previous week.
Here is the video comprised of clips from our LAVRA track racing at the Velo Sports Center. Racer Ex and I are the first team off. Some great video of fling 200 meters, 500 meters, pursuit and team pursuit. No buffets. Just great racing.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. Aristotle
Cat: Killer
Just a weird note: only left channel audio?
Here's a barcam of the last 9 laps of the Colorado state criterium championship, cat 35+4. It's a very technical course - relatively narrow, and six corners per 70 second (at cat 4 speeds) lap. Because of the course the field limit was reduced to 50, but even so we had four crashes.
I moved into decent position with 2 to go, only to become skittish after taking a solid bump while next to the barriers. I finished 14th, which was a bit disappointing. As always, any technique critiques (riding, not movie-making) would be welcome. After all, the main reason I stick the bar cam on is so I can critique myself.
BTW, I put the camera under the bars because of the problems I've been having with the mount. It's not the best perspective, but at least gravity keeps it steady. I'll try to figure out a fix before 'cross season (this was the planned end of my road season).
I guess this would help:
Your sphere is way, way, way too big. You place yourself split between two riders, but your draft rider is too far up the road to get any benefit. Your cornering is not tight and efficient, as you seem timid going in and coming out. Nice job avoiding the downed rider. Nice course. I would spend some time on your next group rides and practice crits on reducing your sphere and cornering with more authority.
CDR has some good footage, I may have some soon as well. Basically, you need to drive into the corner harder and come out of it harder to minimize the gaps that you end up chasing.
last minutes from my race today, first race in 2 months and I crashed out of my last two, so I'm just glad I kept it upright

Located in Ubud, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan is minutes from Gaya Art Space and close to Neka Art Museum. This 5-star hotel is within close proximity of Blanco Museum and Puri Lukisan Museum.
Make yourself at home in one of the 60 air-conditioned rooms featuring refrigerators and LCD televisions. Cable programming and DVD players are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless Internet access keeps you connected. Private bathrooms with separate bathtubs and showers feature deep soaking bathtubs and complimentary toiletries. Conveniences include phones, as well as safes and complimentary newspapers.

Pamper yourself with a visit to the spa, which offers massages, body treatments, and facials. You can take advantage of recreational amenities such as an outdoor pool, a spa tub, and a sauna. Additional features include complimentary wireless Internet access, concierge services, and babysitting/childcare (surcharge).
Grab a bite at one of the hotel's 3 restaurants, or stay in and take advantage of 24-hour room service. Quench your thirst with your favorite drink at a bar/lounge.
Business, Other Amenities
Featured amenities include a 24-hour business center, express check-in, and express check-out. Planning an event in Ubud? This hotel has 580 square feet (54 square meters) of space consisting of conference space and a meeting room. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.
It took four plane flights and 35 hours to get to the Four Seasons at Sayan. And, it was worth every minute of it. The staff made our experience at Sayan the best possible. We could't imagine a better experience or vacation. The setting was beautiful. The food was memorable. We have had great expereinces at other Four Seasons Resorts, but there was something special about our experience at Sayan. Our villa was a magical place and the perfect spot to recover and relax from a long trip. If you haven't been here, you are missing something very special and very romantic. We can't wait to go back.
I have been here twice. One could not ask for a more beautiful serene place. All stress and concerns are erased when you greeted with the bright smile of a Balinese then escorted across a suspension bridge surrounded by jungle and rice patties to a lily/fish pond on the roof of the main building. A few things I should mention -1) If you do not like to relax this may not be the place for you. 2) On the second trip we had our 5 year old child, I would not recommend this for a rambunctious child (there is a very fast river and a lot of high areas). If this is the case, I would choose Jimbaran Bay instead. 3) When offered the airport service (at a fee) take it!! You will be met at the plane and whisked past all lines. It is worth every penny, especially when you see all of your plane mates in a 100 person line. 4) If you have the time go to the Jimbaran Bay Four Seasons. Very different, but equal in service (or even a slight bit superior- Sayan is more hands off), food and things to do.

Lessons from applying the emotional resilience evidence base into practice
Tuesday 9th February 2016, 17.15
Anna Freud Centre, 4-8 Rodney Street, London N1 9JH
The evidence base for interventions which build emotional resilience in vulnerable adolescents is limited and there are few examples of areas in the UK which have implemented resilience building interventions in an integrated fashion across a local population.
This talk will describe a pilot programme (Newham HeadStart) in Newham, London which has sought to develop such an approach through implementing a number of evidence based resilience interventions into practice across the population. It will focus on challenges which have been encountered in doing so and some of the lessons for implementation of such preventative interventions.

|Developing a casemix classification for CAMHS: Results from the CAMHS Payment Systems Project
Wednesday 13th May 2015
Anna Freud Centre
Funding and payment systems are contentious issues within Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), as they are in the NHS in general. There is evidence of severe underfunding of some CAMH services, as well as of wide regional variations in funding. The CAMHS Payment Systems project was commissioned to develop a casemix classification for CAMHS, with the aim of informing efforts to achieve a fairer distribution of resources. The classification may help services to better understand their patient population and to monitor the appropriateness of treatment provided for different types of children and young people.
Speaker bio:
Dr Peter Martin is Lead Statistician in the Evidence-Based Practice Unit at the Anna Freud Centre & University College London, and since July 2013 has led the data analysis in the CAMHS Payment Systems Project.

|EBPU Seminar: Participatory research - a luxury or necessity?
Wednesday 22nd April 2015, 17.15
Anna Freud Centre
Key reports have highlighted the importance of strong partnerships between individuals, health, local authority and the voluntary sector to develop an integrated approach to tackle health inequalities. When developing interventions it is suggested that taking a collaborative, participatory approach, is most effective. This talk will discuss the differences and similarities in these approaches to research and show how to use these approaches.

|EBPU Seminar: Learning from CORE Measurement: Reflections on Two Decades of Data
By John Mellor-Clark
Wednesday 25th February, 17.15
Anna Freud Centre
Since its launch in 1998 the original CORE Outcome Measure has been adopted and adapted widely, culminating in a suite of measurement tools that are now used extensively across the UK and Europe. Naturally, such extensive use of a single measurement suite has resulted in a huge wealth of data both empirical and experiential. In this pragmatic retrospective, John will reflect on key findings in relation to implementing routine outcome measurement (ROM) and the use and potential abuse of resultant data for informing practice development. Specific topics that the seminar will cover include: CORE values; practitioner resistance to ROM; CORE outcome profiles; and the limitations of a CORE approach. Conceptually, the seminar is designed to have appeal to a wide range of practitioners working across a breath of client populations and carrying attitudes to routine measurement that represents a continuum of common feeling.
Speaker bio:
John has been engaged in the evaluation of UK psychological therapies and counselling for the past 25 years. Originally trained as an organisational psychologist, his special interest in quality assurance in healthcare has led him to regularly publish and present on a range of topics such as best practice development, service quality benchmarking and the introduction of management and practitioner mentoring. Through the mid 1990's John helped develop the CORE System as the first UK standardised quality evaluation system for psychological therapy.
|EBPU Seminar:Interpreting the Dodo Bird: Speculations about a mechanism of disease and the mechanism of cure
By Peter Fonagy
Wednesday 28th January 2015, 17.15
Anna Freud Centre
Whilst it is reassuring to know that many manualised treatments for mental disorders appear to be effective, it is also challenging, in that each of these therapies have specific theoretical frames, unique sets of techniques, and systematically exclude or even proscribe treatment components that are proposed as essential in other treatment modalities.
There can be little doubt that intellectually and conceptually this is an intolerable state of affairs, and policymakers have every right to demand that the field gets serious about what the necessary and sufficient components of evidence-based treatments should be. This presentation will try to create a framework for understanding the nature of severe and enduring non-psychotic mental disorder, particularly borderline personality disorder, which may be responsive to various modalities of evidence-based therapies.
More importantly, it is suggested that components of a treatment considered 'critical' or 'essential' by therapists may actually be epiphenomenal, with the real mechanism of change accounted for by processes where we are not looking, outside the consulting room.

EBPU Seminar: IPT-A: What does it do and how does it do it?
By Roslyn Law
Wednesday 10th December 2014, 17.15
Anna Freud Centre
Interpersonal Psychotherapy was developed as a treatment for depression in the late 1960s (Klerman, Weissman et al, 1984) and was modified for use with adolescents with depression in the late 1990s (Mufson, Weissman et al 1999). It was included in the NICE guidelines for depression in 2005 and this year has been added to the programme of post-graduate training in Children and Young People's IAPT. So good was the fit that the question was posed, "Would CYP IAPT have been forced to invent IPT-A if someone hadn't already done it?" This points not only to the evidence base that supports the use of IPT-A but also the process factors that promote collaboration and participation, key features of the drive towards service transformation in CAMHS.
This seminar will provide an overview of how IPT-A works and the evidence base supporting its use. It will also look towards current discussions about the mechanisms of change that operate within this approach and will invite the audience to join in thinking around current plans to explore questions of 'what and how' with the increasing number of young people who now have access to this approach in the UK.

|EBPU Seminar: The Next Step Cards: A Goal Based Outcomes resource
By Fiona Pender
Wednesday 24th September 2014, 17.15
The Anna Freud Centre
The Next Step cards are a resource jointly developed by CAMHS clinicians, young service users and carers designed to support engagement, the use of goal based outcomes and patient centred care in CAMHS. The cards were "Highly Commended" at the 2012 Health Service Journal Awards in the Patient-Centredness Category.
CAMHS clinicians are expected to use routine outcome measures with young people, including goal based outcomes. However many clinicians find it difficult to identify appropriate CAMHS goals with young people. The Next Step Cards are a CAMHS resource to support communication and goal setting in a patient-centred way.
The seminar will outline how the cards were developed in partnership with service users through graphic facilitation and will demonstrate examples of how they can be used to engage young people with CAMHS and set and review goals in a patient-centred way. A recent evaluation of the cards will be presented as well as future plans for an online resource.

|EBPU Seminar: Shared (?) Decision-Making in young people's mental health care
By Kate Martin
Wednesday 24th September 2014, 17.15
The Anna Freud Centre
This seminar will explore shared decision-making with young people using mental health services.
In many areas of health, such as chronic healthcare and adult mental health care, shared decision-making is increasingly advocated as a key way of enabling people to be more involved in decisions about their care, treatment and support. However, this is relatively new and unexplored in children and young people's mental health care.
This seminar will explore questions such as:
What is SDM in young people's mental health care and what are the key benefits?
What are key principles that underpin SDM? What is 'shared' in shared decision making?
What are the challenges and contradictions of SDM for children and young people? How is SDM affected by the ways we think about childhood, youth and mental health?
How can we make the real change required to engage young people as partners in decisions about their mental health care?

The focus of the talk is not on the detail of the statistical analysis but the use that is made of statistics by policy makers and the media.
EBPU Seminar: Public mental health: Opportunities for action
By Jonathan Campion
Wednesday 29th January 2014, 17.15
Anna Freud Centre
Jonathan will outline the different elements of public mental health which include intelligence on population level of mental disorder and wellbeing, levels of risk factors for mental disorder and protective factors for mental health, as well as coverage of effective interventions to treat mental disorder, prevent mental disorder and promote mental health. Such information enables estimation of the level, impact and costs of unmet need for treatment, prevention and promotion. Since only a minority of people with mental disorder receive any intervention while implementation of evidence based interventions to prevent mental disorder and promote mental health is largely absent, such information can both inform local strategic development and commissioning of public mental health interventions. Jonathan will include examples of how application of such intelligence has impacted upon commissioning.
Speaker bio:
Jonathan is Director of Population Mental Health at UCLPartners and Visiting Professor of Population Mental Health at University College London. He is also Director for Public Mental Health and Consultant Psychiatrist at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. He is Special Advisor on Mental Health Strategy and Policy at the Royal College of Psychiatrists and part of the Joint Commission Panel for Mental Health where he has written commissioning guidance on public mental health and contributed to other commissioning guidance. Between 2008 and 2011, Jonathan was policy advisor and public mental health evidence lead at the Department of Health. During this time, he contributed to two cross government mental health strategies, a public mental health strategy and the public health white paper as well as work with the LSE to estimate savings from a range of public mental health interventions. He currently represents the Department of Health on a European Union Joint Action on Mental Health and Wellbeing.
EBPU Seminar: Pesky Gnats! Delivering child friendly in-session computer game interventions for young people.
By Gary O'Reilly
Wednesday 4th December 2013, 17.15
Anna Freud Centre
We face many challenges in delivering effective CBT interventions for children. These include:
(a) how do we translate the complex adult oriented ideas of CBT into a child friendly format? and;
(b) how do
we ensure the integrity of the CBT interventions we deliver to children as we
increase their availability through a more diverse range of mental health
This talk will describe the potential that technology assisted approaches to delivering CBT have for resolving both of these issues. It will describe Pesky Gnats! a uniquely designed computer game that children play in session with a mental health professional. As the child and therapist progress together through the different levels of the game the young person learns about the relationship between thinking, feeling, and behaviour; the effects of negative automatic thinking; thought monitoring; cognitive restructuring; and how to identify and challenge core beliefs.
During the game the child
controls a character who represents them on a visit to an island where they
help a world famous explorer called David gNATenborough and his team of
investigators. In the game Negative Automatic Thoughts (NATs) are described as
being like gNATs or little flies that sting you into certain thoughts usually
without you noticing. Thought Monitoring becomes gNAT trapping. Cognitive
Restructuring becomes gNAT swatting. And understanding Core Beliefs becomes
hunting gNATs back to their hives.
As the narrative of the game unfolds children learn about themselves, gNAT trapping, gNAT swatting, and hunting gNATs back to their hive by helping with experiments devised by David gNATenbourough and his team in the world's first gNAT lab. Through-out the 6 sessions of the game the young person, their therapist, and game characters continuously interact with each other and have to work together as characters ask questions and set tasks for the young person.
Combining computer game technology with CBT ideas in this user-friendly format ensures the integrity of the delivery of core CBT constructs to the child while the conversations between characters, children and therapists ensures the appropriate individualised application of those constructs to the experience of the young person receiving the intervention.

Using Patient Reported Outcome Measures to Improve Service Effectiveness
Free course open to voluntary and community organisations.*
Do you work with children and young people with mental health difficulties or their families?
Are you interested in how outcome measures can be effectively used with your clients?
U-PROMISE (Using Patient Reported Outcome Measures to Improve Service Effectiveness) is the first training package designed to support practitioners to use outcome measures in their work with clients.
Patient Reported Outcome Measures, or PROMs, refer to any measures that try to assess the outcomes of therapy/interventions offered by services from the perspective of service users themselves. Different PROMs measure outcomes in different areas of life; such as functioning in school or work, relationships with others, general sense of wellbeing and improvement of specific difficulties.
Evidence shows that the appropriate use of PROMs can have a positive impact on treatment outcome. For PROMs to complement therapeutic work, outcome measures need to be appropriately selected, used and interpreted.
Developed in consultation with front line practitioners and young people, this course aims to show practitioners how to use outcome measures as another tool in your practice.
During the three-day course, you will:
The training will take place between October and December 2013.

EBPU Seminar: The importance of social connections for educational attainment: shedding light on ethnic inequalities using social network analysis
By Katherine Woolf
Wednesday 18th September 2013, 17.15
Anna Freud Centre
In this talk Katherine will explain some of the recent psychological and educational approaches being taken to understand and challenge the widespread problem of academic under-performance in black and minority ethnic groups, especially doctors. In particular, the talk will focus on the use of a novel research method, social network analysis, to understand how "who you know" impacts on "what you know" and maybe even "what you think", and what psychologists and educators might be able to do with the results.
Speaker bio:
Katherine has been a Lecturer in Medical Education and an Honorary Lecturer in Psychology at UCL since 2009. She obtained her PhD in medical education in 2009 after having come to UCL in 2004 as a Research Associate, following a BSc in Psychology at Goldsmith's College in 2003.
Her main interest is in understanding and improving medical students' and doctors' performance. In particular, she wants to know what helps doctors do well, what hinders them, and what can be done to improve their learning and performance, and thus improve patient care. Katherine believes equality and fairness are vital for effective learning and valid assessment. This belief underlies her core interest, which is understanding how and why medical students and doctors from different ethnic groups have different achievement profiles. Katherine uses a social psychological and a multivariate statistical approach to this problem, investigating the effects of stereotyping on performance, and the influence of social networks on learning and attainment.
Katherine is co-Chair of
the UCL Race
Equality Group and has a keen interest in involving the public in
research and teaching. She was UCL's Public Engager of the Year (academic)

EBPU Seminar: Cinema and Psychosis
By Sally Anderson, Vaughan Bell, Gregory Hilton and Dolly Sen
Wednesday 14th August 2013, 17.15
Anna Freud Centre
'Cinema and Psychosis' - a pan-European group of film theorists, filmmakers, psychiatrists, psychologists and neuropsychologists - pioneers research at the interface of cinematic 'first person' studies and phenomenological psychiatry.
The underlying concept of Cinema and Psychosis will be presented along with its recent initiative, the Institute of Inner Vision. The Institute places cinema at the centre of an exploration of the subjective experience of psychosis, using film as the language of articulation in the convergence of scientific knowledge and artistic perception. The objective of the Institute is to generate medical insights and celebrate the cinematic work of those with experience of psychiatric conditions.
Founded within the auspices of the London College of Communication at the University of the Arts London, the Institute aims to learn from people with experience of psychosis and disseminate knowledge and the diversity of creativity beyond conventions of the so-called norm.
Filmmakers Gregory Hilton and Dolly Sen, recipients of the Institute's first film commissions, will screen and introduce their films.
Speaker bios:
A science-trained filmmaker Sal Anderson worked as an arachnologist at the Natural History Museum in Paris and as a publisher at the British Library before studying writing and directing at the National Film and Television School.
Sal is currently Reader in Interdisciplinary Science-Art Film at the University of the Arts London, and is a co-founder of Cinema and Psychosis, launching the Institute of Inner Vision earlier this year. Sal has been in receipt of several Wellcome Trust awards and her films have been screened on the BBC, French television and at international film festivals including the Cannes, Rotterdam, Chicago, Toronto and Melbourne film festivals.

Her arts work involves being the writer of nine books and several chapters and articles, directing films and plays, performing all over the UK and Europe, and being an exhibiting artist. Dolly also has a very successful arts blog at http://disabilityartsonline.org.uk/dolly_sen_blog
Dolly shares her life with psychosis and PTSD: "I was told I would never amount to anything but would end up in jail or Broadmoor and I believed this and was on my way there when I changed my belief into one of believing I can do anything I want to do. This proves that the mind is an amazing thing; it can drive you mad and inspire you in the same breath. And that you can do anything if you believe you can do it."

EBPU Seminar: From 'avoidable' deaths to applying visual models for priority setting
By Gwyn Bevan and Mara Airoldi
Wednesday 3rd July 2013, 17:15
Anna Freud Centre
A central problem of healthcare systems funded through taxation or social insurance is to define the package of services within a limited budget. The economic evaluation techniques of Cost-Effectiveness or Cost-Utility Analysis (CEA or CUA) have been proposed as the tools of choice to solve this problem, and metrics such as the Quality Adjusted Life (QALY) have been developed to assess the effectiveness of, or utility generated by, healthcare interventions. These tools are not, however, systematically used by those responsible to allocate healthcare budgets, especially at the local level. We present a socio-technical tool ("Star") which is pragmatic, yet rigorous. Star is an approach which developed decision conferencing by drawing on five big ideas in applying economics and epidemiology to health care: Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA), the Burden of Disease (BoD), 'avoidable' mortality, 'needs assessment' and Evidence-based medicine (EBM).
Speaker bios:
Prof Gwyn Bevan is Professor of Policy Analysis and joint Head of the Department of Management at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His current research includes comparisons of performance of health care and schools across the countries of the UK and developing methods for reducing expenditure on health care for least harm.

EBPU Seminar: Translating research into practice for socially disadvantaged families: Lessons from a five-year evaluation of a peer-led parenting programme
By Crispin Day and Daniel Michelson
Thursday 20th June 2013, 17:15
Anna Freud Centre
Over 500 parents from five London Boroughs have participated in parenting groups delivered through Empowering Parents, Empowering Communities (EPEC). EPEC's innovative peer-led service model involves recruiting and training local parents as "peer facilitators" to deliver a manualised, evidence-based parenting intervention in socially disadvantaged communities. This presentation will focus on a series of studies undertaken by the CAMHS Research Unit to support the development, implementation and dissemination of EPEC as it has become established over the last five years.
We will discuss findings from six studies in particular: (1) a systematic review of parenting interventions and their effects under "real-world" conditions; (2) an evaluation of peer facilitator training outcomes; (3) a pragmatic randomised controlled trial of child and parent outcomes; (4) a qualitative study of peer facilitators' experiences of training, supervision and intervention delivery; (5) a benchmarking study of routinely delivered EPEC parenting groups; and (6) a formative evaluation of a recently adapted version of EPEC that is delivered by and for the parents of teenagers. We will also discuss future directions for EPEC, including potential applications in international, low-resource settings.
The aim is to illustrate how researchers, programme developers, service users and providers can work together to achieve the sustained implementation of accessible, high-quality services for hard-to-reach families.
Speaker bios:
Daniel is a clinical psychologist and senior researcher in the CAMHS Research Unit, where he runs a programme of studies focused on the outcomes and processes of mental healthcare for children, young people and their families.

EBPU Seminar: A chance for change: building an outcome monitoring feedback system for outpatient psychotherapy
Presentation / Webinar (external website)
By Kim de Jong
Monday 3rd June 2013, 17:15
Anna Freud Centre
In this lecture Kim de Jong will present her research on routine outcome monitoring feedback in the Netherlands. She will discuss therapist characteristics and how they influence feedback outcomes and will present data from two randomized controlled studies on feedback, in which therapist variables are taken into account. Therapist characteristics that are measured are based on the Conceptualized Feedback Intervention Theory (Riemer & Bickman, 2003). The results demonstrate that feedback is not effective under all circumstances and therapist factors are important when implementing feedback into clinical practice. Speaker:
Kim de Jong (PhD) studied Psychology at the University of Amsterdam and received a master degree in Clinical Psychology and in Psychological Methods. She has worked as a researcher in mental health care for over 12 years and performed studies in a wide variety of patient settings on a great variety of topics, including patient requests, patient needs, satisfaction, dialectical behavioural therapy and brief solution-focused psychotherapy. She wrote her doctoral dissertation on the effectiveness of routine outcome monitoring (ROM) and the role of the therapist in outcome monitoring. She currently works as an Assistant Professor at Leiden University and as a therapist in a group practice in Amsterdam and is a member of the ROM committee of the Dutch Society for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (VGCt) and the Dutch Society for Private Practice Psychotherapists (NVVP) and Associate Editor of the Dutch Journal for Psychotherapy.

EBPU Seminar: Reflections on NICE Guideline development and the challenges for the evaluation of Child Mental Health interventions
By Stephen Pilling
Wednesday 1st May 2013, 17:15
Anna Freud Centre,
More than half of adult mental health disorders first develop in childhood or adolescence. Effective treatments for children and young people could have profound implications for the development of adult disorders. Over ten years of development of NICE mental health guidelines revealed a much more limited database of effectiveness than for the treatment of adult disorders. This seminar discusses the implications that arise from the development of NICE guidelines for child mental health.
EBPU Seminar: CAPA and CYP-IAPT- An Odd Couple or a Marriage Made in Heaven- complimentary, competing or completing?
By Ann York and Steven Kingsbury
Wednesday 10th April, 17.00
Anna Freud Centre
The Choice and Partnership Approach (CAPA) is a service transformation system that has been implemented in many CAMHS teams in the UK, Ireland, Australia, Belgium, Canada and New Zealand, including adult mental health and learning disability. Over 5,000 staff have been trained. It was developed in Richmond (Ann) and East Herts (Steve) CAMHS - both teams have now run CAPA for many years. It is informed by demand and capacity theory (The 7 HELPFUL Habits of Effective CAMHS) and has links with Lean Thinking.
CAPA is supported in English policy, the Mental Health and the Productivity Challenge (King's Fund 2010) and Children and Young People's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP-IAPT) programme.
CAPA is founded on methods that are known to improve outcomes for users. It gives increased clinician job satisfaction, accessibility and service user engagement, clear systems and improved clarity of information for commissioners.
This talk will focus on describing what CAPA is and the links between the 11 Key Components and CYP-IAPT.

By Adrian Furnham
Wednesday 13th March, 17.00
Anna Freud Centre
Personality factors predict a whole range of issues like health and happiness, marital and occupational success as well as personality adjustment and anti-social behaviour. The seminar will cover what individual differences factors predict successes and choices in educational settings. The seminar will be concerned with the relationship between personality and intelligence. It will then consider which and how various of the big five factors predict educational choices (teachers, courses) as well as academic outcomes. The role of trait Neuroticism and Conscientiousness will be highly as particularly salient to understanding many aspects of social behaviour.

EBPU Seminar: Routinely collected CGAS ratings – are they of any use to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services?
By Anna Lundh
18th January 2013, 16.00
Anna Freud Centre
Rating scales and diagnostic instruments have become increasingly important tools in psychiatric care over the past several decades. Using these standardized tools to collect information and evaluate patients enables streamlined evidence-based diagnosis and assessments of functioning. The Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) is a widely used rating scale designed to measure how a child functions psychosocially in daily life. Registration of CGAS ratings in the clinical database Pastill was initiated after a widespread training activity at Child and Mental Health Services in Stockholm. This enabled a study on the effectiveness of child psychiatric treatment by examining the change in psychosocial functioning as measured by CGAS.
The change in CGAS ratings between intake and case closure was investigated for 12,613 patients. CGAS improved during the course of treatment across all diagnostic groups. In the mood disorder group, several psychotherapies were associated with improved outcome whereas medication was not. Treatment-as-usual was found to be less effective than clinical trials have indicated, particularly for the ADHD group, suggesting that results from clinical trials cannot be extrapolated to routine child psychiatric care. Hence, more studies of ADHD and mood disorders are needed to investigate the effectiveness of medication/psychotherapy in regular treatment.
The Pastill data were also linked to Swedish national registers to see whether CGAS ratings at end-of-treatment predict long-term negative outcomes in young adults. To do this, 4,876 patients were followed up prospectively. Patients with CGAS of 60 or lower at end-of-treatment had a moderately increased risk of a criminal conviction and a substantially increased risk for bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder during follow-up compared to patients with CGAS over 60. Low CGAS ratings were not associated with depression, suicide attempt, or substance misuse. Hence, CGAS ratings provide specific long-term prognostic information, and adolescents with CGAS scores below 60 at end-of-treatment should be considered for intensified follow-up.
EBPU Seminar: School-based humanistic counselling: Does it help reduce distress, and if so, how?
By Mick Cooper
6th December 2012, 17.15
Anna Freud Centre
School-based counselling is one of the most prevalent interventions for young people in the UK, with around 70,000-90,000 young people seeing a counsellor each year. But does it lead to any significant reductions in psychological distress and, if so, what are the processes by which it works. This presentation will review the evidence on the effectiveness of school-based counselling, and then go on to report on new findings on the outcomes of a programme of small-scale RCTs for testing the effectiveness of school-based humanistic counselling: a manualised distillation of school-based counselling practices. Drawing on qualitative and case study data, the talk will also present a model of hypothesised change processes in school-based counselling. The data will be presented in the context of findings from CORC on the prevalence and effectiveness of CAMHS interventions.

Unethical Magic by Sherry King
in Romance
Reluctant to leave the warm square of light Ki's window cast onto the snow below, he lingered, invisible to even the tree spirit who also watched Ki's window. The cold couldn't harm him, not while he commanded the wind and air. Catheña, Lady Desire, held him in her hot fist, making him restless and needy. He considered calling one of his casual women friends, but no. He wanted Ki and no one else. Dreams, if he slept at all, would be hot and sweet. "Make my dreams come true, Ki."
Cudougnay wasn't used to unrequited passion. His pride hurt and something deeper, too, something he didn't want to look at too hard. Ki felt the fire between them. Throbbed with it. But she'd turned away, leaving them both still burning, still in need.
Harvest of the Heart by Michael Selmer
in Mystery, Suspense & Thriller
Saturday, June 26, 1993
Elsa slipped out of her bed while the sun was still slumbering. The darkness of the sky was lessening, but the moon, only days away from full, was shining brightly as it fell toward the western horizon. After dressing quickly for her run, she went to the kitchen and wrote a note for Bran.
Out for my run, I should be back around 8:00 a.m.
I'd like to help fix breakfast if you can wait that long
Love, Elsa
She stepped out the door, walked to the driveway and did some of her Karate limbering up exercises. Her twice-weekly karate classes were the only thing she missed from back home. A little looser, she headed down the road.

Chapter 7 Death by Tanning
"What's the big deal?" Collin asked.
As usual Siff didn't give a straight answer. "This is going to be murder on my complexion." He paced back and forth. "I'm going to need another spa treatment."
Seeing Siff worried for once made Collin nervous. He thought, What could make Siff so frightened when he had been so calm about confronting the giant beast, Grako, on an inhospitable world? It's not the Borg is it? I don't want to be assimilated.
Suddenly, there was a voice calling from the control room. "Hey, how come no one iss in the control room!"
Another voice said, "Lazzy, warm-blooded ssoftiess are probably ssleeping." The voices were raspy and lisping.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
in Mystery, Suspense & Thriller
I had called upon my friend Sherlock Holmes upon the second morning after Christmas, with the intention of wishing him the compliments of the season. He was lounging upon the sofa in a purple dressing-gown, a pipe-rack within his reach upon the right, and a pile of crumpled morning papers, evidently newly studied, near at hand. Beside the couch was a wooden chair, and on the angle of the back hung a very seedy and disreputable hard-felt hat, much the worse for wear, and cracked in several places. A lens and a forceps lying upon the seat of the chair suggested that the hat had been suspended in this manner for the purpose of examination.
"You are engaged," said I; "perhaps I interrupt you."
Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
in Mystery, Suspense & Thriller
It would be vain my attempting to tell you the horror with which, even now, I recall the occurrence of that night. It was no such transitory terror as a dream leaves behind it. It seemed to deepen by time, and communicated itself to the room and the very furniture that had encompassed the apparition.
I could not bear next day to be alone for a moment. I should have told papa, but for two opposite reasons. At one time I thought he would laugh at my story, and I could not bear its being treated as a jest; and at another I thought he might fancy that I had been attacked by the mysterious complaint which had invaded our neighborhood. I had myself no misgiving of the kind, and as he had been rather an invalid for some time, I was afraid of alarming him.
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
in Adventure
7 I Go to Bristol
IT was longer than the squire imagined ere we were ready for the sea, and none of our first plans—not even Dr. Livesey's, of keeping me beside him—could be carried out as we intended. The doctor had to go to London for a physician to take charge of his practice; the squire was hard at work at Bristol; and I lived on at the hall under the charge of old Redruth, the gamekeeper, almost a prisoner, but full of sea-dreams and the most charming anticipations of strange islands and adventures. I brooded by the hour together over the map, all the details of which I well remembered. Sitting by the fire in the housekeeper's room, I approached that island in my fancy from every possible direction.

structive character of guilt, since piety is a system‐ builder, impelling one to go farther and farther in search of appropriate materials that will go with his concerns, while the attempt to socialize this material for purposes of communication leads one far beyond the character of the initial stimulus.
Variations of the stigmatic situation as a vocational incentive can be imagined ad lib. Mann, Gide, Proust, and Joyce seem outstanding examples in the cultural movement now coming to a close.
WE HAVE previously considered that troublous graded series whereby action emerges purely and simply as combat. The mystic, it seems, has often attempted to find disciplines whereby the combative aspect of action may be completely sterilized, so that the practitioner may enjoy the gratifications of attainment without the by-product, conquest. In the West, for instance, with its great respect for "climbing," the first stage of initiation into the state of mystic unity is usually reached through the postures of prayer, with its deliberate mimetics of humiliation.

Although the idea is very vague, this video does spark up an interesting concept of bringing in the gaming ideals into the education system.
As an educator I approve of this idea/video. In fact I'd like to share this with some collegues btw. However, tc you need to support the video with some text and conversation starters or the thread will be closed per the policies of this site.
Like where does this go exactly from here? And how can someone implement this into their classroom in a much more detailed, and practical way? Overall, while fascinating and extremely relatable for students, how would this work out in the long run, and can anyone testify through experience to it's effectiveness and practicality, let alone how might it be perceived, and received by parents and administrators?
Stuff like that and much more.
I really do like the idea of gaining XP for grades. I think it would be a great way to motivate students. The general idea seems relatively easy to implement within a class. The difficult part of this new system would be the "skills" gained for each level. I don't think bonus XP would be a good way to way to dish out new "skills" and I think it would introduce a freeriding problem. Also as pweidman stated, administrators and parents might not like this new system and it might be hard to have them onboard.

I like the idea, except for the part where you're rewarding students all the time for making progress. While education can be fun, and it's awesome when it is, I think in the end that people should learn because they want to; not because of rewards. Of course I'm referring to college level students and not school children. Children definitely need that motivation to learn, I agree with applying it in that sense. My other concern is with the grading system and if it will lead to mediocrity. If they eliminate the sense that there will be failure and no one really "fails", then how will they deal with failure and overcome it in the future if they've never really had to deal with it?
Overall I like the ideas, but it should be applied carefully so it doesnt dilute too much of the educational process.

Nonsense! In the words of Machiavelli, it is better to be feared than loved. Just look at the Asian tiger mother woman - by instilling the fear of failure into her children, she sufficiently motivated them to work much, much harder. By not sparing the whip, parents can get their children back under control. Discipline is the foundation of a productive society!
Thank you.

The Pragmatist: Three Songs for the Last Dance in Your Once-Magnificent Ballroom
Ah, what times you had. Such grandeur, such elegance. In the early days, you hosted the most extravagant and scandalous parties—a handful of celebrities conceived their illegitimate children here, and a few others met their eventual spouses. Fine libations flowed like the Rhine, and they say Jean Renoir once stopped by just to taste your chef's incomparable escargots.
Later there were the galas. Even the most affluent and successful guests left satisfied. "Was that really the Pope?" they would ask. "Oh, of course it wasn't," you'd say, but only because you didn't want to embarrass the man. Now, after all these years, it's over. The party is finished, you gambled your fortune away, and you've had to sell the estate. Tragic, really. Still, there's time for one last heartbreaking dance.
There is a reason this song has been recorded hundreds of time in more than a few languages. Jacques Brel's classic understated desperation speaks to the impending desecration of your dear, doomed former home.
It's unforgettable. Nino Rota's "Dancing in the Mist" truly makes Frederico Fellini's Amarcord what it is. The film simply wouldn't work without the classic melody, stained with nostalgia, to tug at the heartstrings. Just as the characters dance with no one in the sad mist, so too shall you be alone.
In the dreary cold, during the Snowmageddon of 2010, Frau Eva stopped by City Paper's desolate parking lot to play "Howling." The tasteful, delicate waltz, played amid frosty winds, is a fitting end to your tenure. Enjoy it here, and perhaps again tonight when the band plays at Galaxy Hut in Arlington.
