Problems that only lower to middle class black girls encounter. To the untrained eye these might seem like the product of entitlement issues, having a chip on your shoulder, or the stress of realizing what obama care actually means.

Do you want to know just how much people still care about the Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles? When it was announced that Michael Bay would merely be producing a new film featuring everyone's favorite pizza-eating turtles it sent fans spiraling into Crazy Town. They couldn't believe how Bay, again only in a producer role, was going to ruin their childhood favorites. To be fair, we've seen what Bay did to Transformers and purists hate those movies with the heat of a thousand suns. But the worst thing that can happen is to have nobody really give a darn, and obviously that was not the case here. But Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which is a co-production between Bay's Platinum Dunes and Nickelodeon, isn't quite the disaster many expected it to be.
So that might not be the most ringing endorsement and probably won't get plastered in TV ads ("It's not so bad"--Travis Hopson, Punch Drunk Critics), but really that is the only criteria that matters when it comes to a movie like this. We already know it will be geared towards kids and the storyline will be ridiculous. Plus, let's be really honest here, the TMNT have undergone so many changes over the years that picking one version as definitive is sorta silly. After toying with the far-out notion of turning them into extraterrestrials, Bay and Liebesman have stuck to a fairly traditional take on the Turtles, one that longtime fans can appreciate if they don't mind the kiddie tone.
New York is under attack by an evil organization known as the Foot Clan, led by a metal-clad ninja called Shredder. Of course, this having Bay's stamp of approval Shredder looks like the spawn of Optimus Prime and a cheese grater. On the tail of the secretive Foot is lowly TV reporter April O'Neil, played by former Bay frenemy Megan Fox. O'Neil can't get anyone at her network to believe her about the Foot, but she has a more difficult time convincing them she saw four giant vigilante turtles fighting back. Fortunately, she finds a willing ear in scientist Eric Sachs (William Fichtner), a friend and colleague of her late father. What she doesn't know is that Sachs is holding on to a dark secret, one that threatens her and Turtles' future.
Chances are you'll figure out where this plot, cobbled together from dozens of other blockbusters, is headed in the first ten minutes. But getting there does prove to be more fun than expected, largely due to a script that understands the relationship between the turtle siblings and Splinter (voiced by Tony Shalhoub), their overgrown rat sensei. Raphael is a hot-headed jerk, Donatello is a dork with a bo staff, Michelangelo is a laid back beach bum, while Leonardo (voiced by Johnny Knoxville) is the born leader. Conflicts arise amongst the group, particularly between Raph and Leo, while Mikey acts like a clown. What doesn't work so well is in the physical design of the Turtles. They are freaking massive, huge bulked-up creatures and it takes away from their supposed ninja abilities. Are we truly expected to believe they were able to be stealthy all these years fighting in the shadows? They're the size of Monster Trucks! It's absurd, and it clashes against the idea of them as teenagers. Granted, watching them zip through the sewers on skateboards, along with a healthy dose of childish fart humor, does a pretty good job of establishing their immaturity. Kids will eat that stuff up. Adults? Eh, maybe. They may also find Mikey's crush on April a little too mature (and weird) for kids to handle.
Through the alien war flick Battle: Los Angeles and Wrath of the Titans, Liebesman has established himself as a director whose style resembles that of Bay in just about every way. So it's no shock that visually this looks exactly like Transformers; big chaotic action that defies the laws of physics but looks amazing. The highlight is a 10-minute chase down a snowy slope with exploding trucks, Turtles on the half-shell, and Fox hanging for dear life. It looks amazing, although it doesn't make a lot of sense logistically. Why is there so much snow there but nowhere else in the city? We're probably not supposed to notice. Other plot holes will rear their ugly head, too, as the villains' main scheme makes absolutely no sense when revealed. This was a case of the writers' going too far in wanting a huge world-threatening finale when nothing we've seen up to that point suggests it should be the case. What you won't find is much in the way of emotion except in the brotherly camaraderie between the Turtles, and that is displayed mostly in broad strokes.
Despite their hulking size, the CGI Turtles look pretty good although the effects get a little sloppy during the faster fight sequences. Fox is back to her old bag of tricks as little more than a pretty face. She gets a lot of reaction shots and not much else to do, but at least she wears O'Neil's classic yellow jacket! Will Arnett gets a few laughs as her cameraman and potential suitor, Vernon Fenwick. Fichtner is so good at playing quirky, mannered bad guys that it's disappointing he's so boring here. Sachs just isn't written to be a funny character and it's a waste of what Fichtner does best. Somebody should have shown these guys Fichtner's Drive Angry highlight reel.
So you may not be shouting "Cowabunga" but at least it's not 'The Secret of the Ooze'. There aren't any Vanilla Ice cameos to speak of and that's automatically a good thing. As an introduction to younger audiences and an action-packed slice of nostalgia, you could do worse than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

2009 Research Summary
Video Puppetry: A Performative Interface for Cutout Animation
View Current Project Information
Connelly Barnes1, David Jacobs2, Jason Sanders3, Dan Goldman4, Szymon Rusinkiewicz5, Adam Finkelstein6 and Maneesh Agrawala
We present a video-based interface that allows users of all skill levels to quickly create cutout-style animations by performing the character motions. The puppeteer first creates a cast of physical puppets using paper, markers, and scissors. He then physically moves these puppets to tell a story.
Using an inexpensive overhead camera our system tracks the motions of the puppets and renders them on a new background while removing the puppeteer's hands. Our system runs in real-time (at 30 fps) so that the puppeteer and the audience can immediately see the animation that is created.
Our system also supports a variety of constraints and effects including articulated characters, multi-track animation, scene changes, camera controls, 21/2D environments, shadows, and animation cycles. Users have evaluated our system both quantitatively and qualitatively:
In tests of low-level dexterity, our system has similar accuracy to a mouse interface. For simple story telling, users prefer our system over either a mouse interface or traditional puppetry. We demonstrate that even first-time users, including an eleven-year-old, can use our system to quickly turn an original story idea into an animation.

Options When an Inherited IRA CD Matures
Original post by Leslie McClintock of Demand Media
Certificates of deposits (CDs) are known as "time deposits," because you are committing to leaving your money with a bank for a specific period of time. This helps the bank, because they are reasonably assured that you won't be calling for your money until the end of the term. They can therefore invest in a wider variety of instruments with less worry about liquidity. In return, they typically offer a somewhat higher rate of return than you can get in a passbook savings account. When the CD matures, however, you have options with varying degrees of risk.
Roll it Over Into Another CD
CDs offer the security of FDIC insurance, guaranteeing your money against loss up to $250,000 per account holder. However, you are locking your money in for an extended period of time again. If interest rates rise, you miss out on the opportunity to earn more return on your money, unless you pay a substantial penalty for an early withdrawal.
Cash It Out
You can take money out of the CD and the IRA, if you choose. If you are under age 59 1/2, you must pay a 10 percent penalty on the early withdrawal, except for certain hardship circumstances. For traditional IRAs, you will also pay income taxes on the amount withdrawn. For Roth IRAs, you will pay an early withdrawal penalty only on the gain, provided the money has been in the account longer than five years. You don't need to pay income taxes on Roth IRA distributions.
Invest in Other Securities Within the IRA
While the brokerage company may charge you commissions, you have no capital gains tax liability on anything you transfer within the IRA. That means you can take the money from the maturing CD, and use the money to buy mutual funds, treasury bonds, stocks and other securities within the CD. You give up the protection of FDIC insurance, but you have the potential of much greater returns in the long run.
Self-Directed IRA
You don't have to stay in CDs, mutual funds, stocks and bonds within an IRA. You can also invest your IRA funds in real estate, small businesses, ranches or farming operations. You can't borrow from the IRA or use the IRA to purchase things for your own personal use. You also cannot directly purchase collectibles, alcoholic beverages, jewelry, gemstones and most precious metal investments under prohibited transaction rules. For a full breakdown, see IRS Publication 590, Individual Retirement Arrangements.

A Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) was completed in April 2005 and confirmed that Langer Heinrich could be developed as a profitable uranium mining operation. The Ministry of Mines and Energy in Namibia granted a Mining Licence covering the Langer Heinrich deposit for a 25-year term, commencing 26 July 2005. On 20 August 2005, the Company announced its acceptance of credit committee-approved offers of financing totalling US$71 million. Financing was provided by Société Générale Australia Branch (as lead arranger), Nedbank Ltd and Standard Bank of South Africa Ltd and comprised a seven-year project finance facility of US$65 million and a standby cost overrun facility of US$6 million. The first drawdown of the project finance facility took place on 30 June 2006. Construction at the Langer Heinrich Project commenced in September 2005 and staged commissioning of the plant began in August 2006. The plant was handed over to Langer Heinrich Uranium (Pty) Ltd, the Company's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, in December 2006. The President of Namibia, Hon. Hifikepunye Pohamba, officially opened the Langer Heinrich Project on 15 March 2007.
Langer Heinrich achieved production of 2.7Mlb of U3O8 in 2008/2009 and, soon afterwards, the Stage 2 expansion increased production to 3.7Mlb pa in the 2010 financial year. The Stage 3 expansion which further increased production to 5.2Mlb pa was completed in 2012.
During April 2009, Langer Heinrich Uranium (Pty) Ltd (LHUPL) obtained certification for its Environmental Management System (EMS) according to the Internal Standard ISO 14001:2004. The certification is applicable to LHUPL's operation of an opencast uranium mine and producing uranium oxide in the Namib Naukluft National Park.

Florida Gulf Coast University will host a cross-country camp at their campus in Estero from August 1 to August 5, 2011. Under the direction or FGCU cross country coach Cassandra Harbin, the camp is open to students 8 and up. Campers have the choice of commuting daily or staying at the camp.
Participants will get individual and group coaching and guidance in sport psychology, race strategy, strength training, injury prevention and nutrition. Aside from the training, campers will have other activities like swimming at the Lee County/FGCU Aquatics Center. This is also a great opportunity for kids to meet others who share their interest in running. This shouldn't be discounted. It's not always easy in school when your sports interests are different than the majority.
The camp is $275 for commuter students and $400 for resident campers. You can register online. For additional information, you can email email@example.com or call 239-590-7274.
If you have questions or suggestions, please email Alan. If you'd like to discuss any of the topics, visit our Facebook page. To stay up on fitness news, events and articles, follow on Twitter @FMFitness.

Installing python-ldap in OpenSolaris 2009.06
By Jeff Trawick on Apr 05, 2009
Note: This has been tested with b110, which is very close to the final 2009.06 GA build.
One of the new features in OpenSolaris 2009.06 is the integration of OpenLDAP 2.4.11. The presence of the client libraries in particular will be of great benefit to the deployment of a number of open source applications which have extensive support for the OpenLDAP libraries but not so much (or any) for the native Solaris LDAP libraries.
One such application is the LDAP extension for Python. As noted in its INSTALL file:
- Python 2.3 or newer (see http://www.python.org)
- OpenLDAP libs (see http://www.openldap.org)
You need OpenLDAP 2.3.x client libs or newer for full
functionality. It is not possible and not supported
by the python-ldap project to build with prior versions.
Some open source applications have challenges with the OpenLDAP file layout in OpenSolaris; however, python-ldap isn't one of them, as the setup.cfg mechanism is flexible enough to support the names of the OpenLDAP libraries and the locations of the OpenLDAP header files within OpenSolaris.
Here are the required changes to the default setup.cfg from python-ldap 2.3.6 to build with OpenSolaris 2009.06:
$ diff -u setup.cfg.orig setup.cfg
--- setup.cfg.orig Mon Apr 6 07:42:07 2009
+++ setup.cfg Mon Apr 6 07:44:27 2009
@@ -1,9 +1,9 @@
extra_objects =
extra_compile_args =
-libs = ldap_r lber sasl2 ssl crypto
-library_dirs = /usr/local/openldap-2.3/lib
-include_dirs = /usr/local/openldap-2.3/include /usr/include/sasl
+libs = ldap_r-2.4 lber-2.4 sasl ssl crypto
+library_dirs = /usr/sfw/lib
+include_dirs = /usr/include/openldap /usr/include/sasl
tag_build =
With these changes, you can proceed to the usual python setup.py build and python setup.py install, but first note that three levels of Python are included with 2009.06 -- 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 -- with the default python command pointing to 2.4. You'll need to install python-ldap for the desired version(s) of Python. For example, to install it for use with the non-default Python 2.6, use the commands python2.6 setup.py build and python2.6 setup.py install.

ANNOUNCE: connection
Vincent Hanquez <tab <at> snarc.org>
Hi Haskellers, I'm pleased to announce the release of connection. Connection is the pinnacle of most of my network related packages, and wrap together all the libraries needed to provide a easy and smooth experience to open client connection. It provides very simple access to SOCKS and TLS along with normal raw client socket. The goal is to hide most complicated settings either completely or re-expose them more simply, and provide safe defaults. repository: https://github.com/vincenthz/hs-connection hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/connection Two simple examples (more can be find in the README on github): - opening a raw connection to www.example.com port 80: ctx <- initConnectionContext connectTo ctx $ ConnectionParams { connectionHostname = "www.example.com" , connectionPort = fromIntegral 80 , connectionUseSecure = Nothing , connectionUseSocks = Nothing } - opening a TLS connection to www.example.com port 443: ctx <- initConnectionContext connectTo ctx $ ConnectionParams { connectionHostname = "www.example.com"(Continue reading)

Another giveaway — this is fun! 😀 Thanks to Katie @ Kitchen Stewardship's generosity, I get to give away 2 copies of her new eBook, "Healthy Snacks To Go."
I thank Katie for sharing a review copy with me. I've thoroughly marked it up and notated it for future ideas.
Here's what I love about "Healthy Snacks To Go"…
- future updates are free to purchasers
- it provides soaking options for grain recipes
- it displays icons with each recipe to share more about a recipe's effort level and cost; and whether it is allergen-friendly, travel friendly, sugar-free, gluten-free, slightly indulgent, requires refrigeration, and more.
- it gives sensible tips for how to make less of a mess or use less energy
- it shares multiple adaptations with almost every recipe, making it easy to work around your preferences or what's in your pantry
- the real food recipes offer budget-saving and healthy alternatives to popular, non-nourishing, and expensive snack foods
Katie included her take on our favorite spelt biscuit recipe — Take Along Spelt Biscuits. (I just made some this morning, using sprouted spelt flour.) She says, so rightly, "If you've been afraid to try spelt flour, I guarantee this is a certain-success recipe for your first experiment!" I agree. They're fantastic. Not to mention easy. Less than 15 minutes total hands on time.
What else can you find in Katie's eBook?
- 30 real food and adaptable backpack ready snacks: granola, granola and other bars, muffins, reverse engineered Larabars, crackers, popcorn, fruits, applesauce, peanut butter kisses (I'm trying those for sure!) and more…
- 5 lunchbox side dishes: dip, salads, puddings, and smoothies
- resource for learning more about soaking grains
- ideas for reducing waste in lunchbox packing
- basic snacks for the absent-minded eater
The last item in that list, "basic snacks for the absent-minded eater" is a helpful section. Katie calls the ideas there "forehead smackers," because when reminded of these snacks, you're likely to say, "Oh, yeah! I always forget about those!" One of the items listed in this resource is hard-boiled eggs. I smacked my forehead on that one. Over the last week, I've made sure to have hard boiled eggs ready in the fridge as an easy, healthy, go-to snack. My husband is really happy about this. He declared that from now on, that's what he wants to eat each evening when he gets home, and right before he works out.
Click here to view the Table of Contents in "Healthy Snacks To Go."
Honestly, I can't believe the eBook is only $6.95. Anyone who is used to buying commercial snacks, and makes Katie's recipes instead, could save much more than that in one month.
Click here to purchase "Healthy Snacks To Go." I will receive compensation for purchases made through the links on this post. I am careful about what books and products I endorse, and only recommend those that I think are truly valuable and helpful as we walk with the Lord to embrace the good foods He made for us.
You're probably ready for the giveaway now. 🙂
The Giveaway
I'm excited to partner with Katie to give away 2 copies of her fantastic eBook, "Healthy Snacks To Go." I am thankful for Katie and the work she does to serve the internet community, and I'm thrilled to help promote the book.
Here are the details of the giveaway. It starts today, on May 21, 2010, and will end next Tuesday, May 25, 2010, at midnight PST. That gives you 5 days to get in on this.
I will announce the 2 winners on Wednesday, May 26, 2010.
There are 9 possible entries for the giveaway; and international entries are fine, as the books will be delivered as electronic downloads. This is what you must do for each entry:
- Check out the table of contents and choose the recipe that interests you the most.

Can you believe that we have not yet eaten one single S'more this summer? If you're in the same boat, find a friend with a fire pit ASAP and eat until you're stuffed! We suppose inviting yourself over is a tricky process, but if you prove successful, bring your hostess this Start Me Up Campfire Kit ($14). Not only does it make a for a kind gesture, but it also gets that fire started and marshmallows melting sooner!

Members Comments
Still no US players in the La Riviera Casino, and I strongly suggest that you check the country restrictions before trying to register your account. I wasn't surprised to find download only RTG software in here, and I am just about to give up sites without instant games (playing from the browser) and mobile access, since most of the downloads are only for PC's.
I did however heard some nice things about this place, so wanted to check my luck there just in case. I found some really nice bonuses for new players (always check the up to date list of promotions before complaining), and before doing anything, I contacted the support to get through my check list and just make sure I collect all the free spins.
There are some nice bonuses for new players, but they don't offer a free no deposit bonus, and no freebies, if you don't count some spins.
Another RTG casino. This one i have to say that i don't like it very much, it's not one of my favourite because i have found so many complaints but i have want to try out so i decide to registering with a free bonus of 15€ that came in my " spam " folder of my Gmail account. The first bad thing is that i don't receive any bonus code for this promotion so i have download, install and registered the account and thereafter contact the live support for ask information. They reply me very fast and they credited my account in few minutes. I have also lost it a few minutes, the slots don't pay and i think that the payout is really bad. In chat they start speaking French wich i don't use and i ask to speak English so they immediately transfer me to an english agent, so that's is a kind and cute support. But i remember to say that is a bad casino because they don't pay really well and they try to cut off you from the live chat without any reason and if you try to call the support number the connection continuisly go down so you can't reach the operator. They are unaffordable casino and i reccomend yo to don't try this, they are not worth your money. The only cute thing that i have found is obviusly the graphics wich is in a very cute Frency style and just adore it. They have license in Curacao and is not open to USA just for the most of the RTG casinos online. La Riviera casinò offer a various range of deposit promotions for try the many games the site offers. The languages are French, Italian and English and there is a very long list of restricted country : United States, Finland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Thailand, Greece, China, Denmark, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Republic of, Kazakhstan, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia. But there is no problem for you because this casino is very bad and there are some major on the net. My finally vote is 2/10.
When I first opened my account I got the promo with the free money after that I received other email and they offered to me coupons to reedem in the cashier section.Never got anithing from them because they said that I'm restricted even if they said in the email that I can use it.
So I asked them to remove me from the newsletter and I didn't received any offers from then for a long time.
Average casino, played only one time ,and did not find anything which can help me to left at this casino!
They send offers by email quite often , although to people that are not eligible for that .. do not understand these practices
Beware of La Riviera casino. I won a big amount there and they paid me a part of it but then they stopped paying. I posted a complaint on the forum:
La Riviera ignored my complaint. Avoid this casino at all costs!
My complaint is not up-to-date anymore because La Riviera gave in and they paid me my winnings so everything is fine now.
I don't like Real time gaming casinos but this casino is not so bad. Standard RTG software, simple and easy to use. They offer good games. I love their slots, special video slots. They are very interesting, graphics could be better but it is not most important. Most important is that their slots are fun and they offer you a lot of opportunities to win money, most of them have bonus rounds or free spins and you can earn a lot of money on them. Other games are also cool, but I will stay and play on their slots.
I am not sure about this casino. First impression was great, they have well designed site, lobby, casino, it is very simple and easy to use, standard RTG games and on first look all is great but they know to delay your payments. Few times I was waiting for my money 4 or 5 days without any reason and their customer support wasn't nice during that time.
I played there a few days ago. Unfortunately they don't give no deposit bonuses to players from Latvia, so I played with my money only. Had a conversation with their live chat, but they were cold and didn't seem interested in my questions. Game selection was very nice and wide but overall I probably wouldn't deposit there again.
One of the better realtime gaming casinos amongst the realtime gaming franchise, casino has monthly promos and very high match bonuses ranging anything 100% right up to 600% I've never managed a withdrawal here though but find it generally hard to that at all the realtime gaming casinos that I play at

Have you tried looking at the sides sourcecode? I just did, with Firefox and found this in the first line:
Well, I don´t really know anything about coding webpages (except for basic html :-D) but I hope this helps. The code is commented as far as i saw.
They have a graphic as a background image to a span that is positioned over it. They then animate the opacity of that element.

Palace Arts Center Theater in Grapevine, TX has two movie screening programs, Classic Movie Series and First Friday Film Series on Fridays at 7:30 PM. This venue is a restored art-deco 1940 style theater which includes balcony seating and 11 love seats. Make sure you take the time to visit the gallery filled with beautiful art pieces and take a picture with Elvis.
Some nights you will even receive a special treat. A couple weeks ago the featured film was Grease. The folks from Sonic Drive-In, dressed in poodle skirts, were there handing out coupons for .99 Route 44 soft drinks to everyone in attendance. Although this was not the sing-along version of the movie, everyone was singing and just having a great time.
On Friday at the screening of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) even the venue operators received a special surprise. In attendance was Kenn Scott, also known as Kenn Troum, who played one of the Foot ninjas in the first TMNT movie. In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991) Scott played Rafael. He explain the use of animatronics during the 90s. Many of the children in the attendance were in full TMNT costumes or t-shirts. Most of the adults wore their TMNT shirts too. Just looking around it was evident that the audience was filled with true TMNT fans. Mr. Scott gave a little bit of the behind-the-scene history of the movie and stayed after the screening for a Q & A session and take photos with the fans. Some fans also got his autograph.
Here is a line-up of upcoming movies:
August 1 - Goonies
August 8 - The Princess Bride
September 5 - Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
October 3 - Vertigo
November 7 - Bettlejuice
Make sure to bring your receipt from any restaurant in Grapevine, dated the same day as the movie, for a free small, freshly popped, popcorn. Other concessions are also available for purchase. Tickets are just $5.00. For more information call the box office at (817) 410-3100.

The "Grey's Anatomy" finale is going to be a sad show to watch. As fans of the popular show know, the character Cristina Yang (played by Sandra Oh) will be making her mark on the show before leaving for good. This bittersweet moment has viewers swirling in what might happen for the finale and new details have emerged. According to WetPaint on Thursday, the cast is faced with some serious issues, but it is Cristina Yang who stops and reassess her life to review what she wants for the future.
This "Grey's Anatomy" spoiler for "We Are Never Getting Back Together" offers up details about the show. Fans who don't want to know what might happen to Cristina Yang should look away now. TV Guide is reporting that the episode won't entirely evolve around Sandra Oh's character, but it will be a primary focus.
Cristina looks to Meredith for advice as she assesses her future at the hospital. In weeks past the two doctors have been tight as previously Cristina enlisted Meredith to help her prepare an acceptance speech for her possible Harper Avery win.
Derek and Amelia work together on a difficult surgery involving conjoined twins. As viewers have seen, Derek feels overwhelmed between his responsibilities at home and at the hospital and this case seems to add to the strain. Meanwhile, Jo is spread too thin when she tries to work on several cases at once and Stephanie realizes the truth about Bailey's bubble boy case
So what will Cristina Yang find if she leaves Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital? All the rumors point to a jet plane heading towards Europe. The character is expected to follow her passion and that might mean leaving America.
"Grey's Anatomy" season finale is on May 1. Isaiah Washington is a guest star and is returning as Dr. Preston Burke.

Simulating haemorrhage in medical students
This article is a descriptive report of a novel way of teaching the cardiovascular response to progressive haemorrhage in a first year medical undergraduate setting using simulation. Simulation may provide the means to allow students to see in practice the theoretical knowledge they have gained from lectures, thus giving clinical relevance to that knowledge, which may improve retention. A progressive haemorrhage is simulated in a volunteer medical student by applying sub-atmospheric pressure to the air surrounding the lower body using a lower body negative pressure (LBNP) chamber. This sub-atmospheric pressure will result in 'pooling' of blood in the vessels (particularly veins) of the legs and pelvis. This 'pooling' will reduce the amount of blood returning to the heart (venous return) thus mimic the effects of loosing blood from the cardiovascular system. The body responds by engaging various physiological responses to blood loss. To demonstrate these responses a range of cardiovascular parameters are monitored throughout the demonstration to allow students to observe the response to progressive haemorrhage. One of these parameters is cardiac stroke volume, which is monitored by using a portable ultrasound device. In addition to demonstrating an important principle of physiology which students are likely to have encountered in their lectures, using the ultrasound device also fulfils an objective set out by the General Medical Council (GMC) to familiarise medical students with clinically relevant two-dimensional imaging equipment early in their studies.
Conclusion: Durham University Medical Programme uses a LBNP chamber as a simulation to reinforce didactic teaching of the cardiovascular response to haemorrhage. The use of simulation in medical education is becoming increasingly more commonplace as its potential benefits are recognised. The simulated haemorrhage may provide the means to allow students to see the theoretical knowledge they have gained from lectures in a 'clinical' context, which ultimately may improve knowledge retention.
Educational leadership: a core clinical teaching skill?
Leadership has been emphasised as a core element for organisational effectiveness and healthcare improvement in public, private and voluntary sectors. Leadership development programmes have been introduced to support clinical innovation and educational change for current and aspiring leaders in clinical settings, in schools and in other contexts such as public health, general practice and higher education. This article describes a number of leadership development programmes specifically designed and delivered for healthcare educators and clinical teachers and considers the place of leadership and leadership development in contemporary healthcare education. It explores the nature of leadership development programmes, offering models and ideas around the core components and structures of leadership development programmes for healthcare educators. The article suggests that leadership should be included as a core element of all healthcare education programmes.
Investigating new approaches to facilitating the learning of female pelvic examination for health care professionals
This paper will focus on a new approach within the UK to teach female pelvic examination to undergraduate medical students. The use of Gynaecological Training Associates (GTA) (non-medical females trained to teach pelvic examination while themselves being examined) by students is not a new concept and has been used in America and Scandinavia since the 1970's. However, in the UK, GTA's are rarely used. The discussion will follow how one GTA programme is being developed at Southampton General Hospital, and drawing heavily from pedagogy how the sessions are being planned.
Using simple learning objects to enhance early skills learning
Clinical skills centres commonly employ a mixture of peer physical examination, live simulated patients, real patients and training models/aids to facilitate clinical skills learning. A wide array of training models are now commercially available, ranging from part-task trainers to high fidelity manikins. However, they are relatively expensive and models to demonstrate or complement a specific skill may not exist. In particular, medium-high fidelity simulators may not be used to their full potential at the basic skills level and the cost-benefit ratio has to be considered. We suggest that there is an alternative solution in some cases: centre staff can create simple cheap learning objects to illustrate some of the context, findings, or application of basic examination skills. Unfortunately, very few of these locally derived learning objects are shared more widely in the literature. One of the reasons for lack of dissemination may be problems in designing meaningful evaluation strategies for these objects. This paper describes the development and deployment of four learning objects introduced into early clinical skills learning within the medical programme at The University of Auckland: (1) percussion tubs to illustrate different percussion notes, (2) hen's eggs for demonstrating transillumination, (3) an intravenous fluid set to illustrate principles of jugular venous pressure, and (4) socks with objects inside to help develop descriptive skills for palpation. Formal evaluation of the objects has not been carried out. However, informal feedback from students was positive. Through using the objects, students were able to gain insights, confidence and understanding. All of the objects offer immediate feedback to the students which they found rewarding. In conclusion, we feel that simple, cheap learning objects can play an important role in early skills learning. Although there are some barriers to formal evaluation, we hope to encourage other centres to share their innovations and evaluation strategies.
i-DREAM Project: Interactive Diabetes Research Evidence Application in Management
A major barrier to providing effective healthcare is implementation of research evidence. i-DREAM (Interactive Diabetes Research
Evidence Application in Management)
is an interactive educational computer tool that helps clinicians make evidence-based decisions based on individual patient's clinical parameters such as blood pressure (BP), HbA1c% and lipid profile. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of teaching evidence-based medicine to health care professionals using this program as an educational tool.
Methods: The usefulness of i-DREAM was assessed based on its ability to help clinicians understand the management of 10 important clinical problems, based on implementation of 12 relevant clinical trial/guidelines in diabetes. A complex hypothetical case note was devised with 10 clinical problems to match trial profiles and given to 100 clinicians (2 diabetes nurses, 7 pharmacists and 91 doctors) to identify the clinical problem, recommend a management plan and cite research evidence. 2 points were given for a correct answer, and 1 for a wrong answer or no response. The points for each problem were then multiplied, giving 8 points for a clinical problem solved and hence a Global score of 80 points. i-DREAM was then demonstrated to the participants over a 30 minute session, and the score recalculated based on the same case note within the next 7 days.
Results: At baseline, the clinicians scored 8.0/10 on problem identification and 6.1/10 on management recommendation score. Clinicians were aware of 0.8 trials out of the 12 used. The Pre-i-DREAM Global score was 31.8/80. After i-DREAM, the problem identification score improved to 9.5/10(p<0.001) and the management recommendation score to 8.2/10(p<0.001). Trial awareness improved to 5.4/12(p<0.05) and global score post-i-DREAM to 52.4(p<0.01).
Conclusion: i-DREAM can serve as an effective interactive tool to the multi-professional diabetes care team to advise on evidence-based management plans, thereby bridging the gap between daily and desired practice.
Is it possible to prepare medical students for clinical years using a laboratory based education programme?
Introduction: The new Cardiff/Swansea Graduate Entry programme has provided a unique opportunity to compare the preparation of students for clinical training by comparing an integrated, case based course with a more traditional course. In particular, we were interested in the effect of the students having a nine-week period of clinical placement compared to a full clinical year
Methods: We administered a qualitative questionnaire to an entire cohort of students. Data were analysed using a grounded theory approach.
Results: Despite being the first cohort of a new course, students described the learning environment in the first two years as high quality. They felt well prepared for their clinical years despite the reduced direct clinical exposure.
Discussion: Data suggests that laboratory based clinical skills teaching is as effective as the traditional ward based teaching. Students found they were well prepared for clinical placements. Concerns that they would have problems in the clinical environment were largely unfounded. Problems the students encountered were mainly administrative. Suggestions included a clinical induction programme as suggested elsewhere in the literature. We confirmed that the transition to the clinical environment can be challenging, and that medical students continue to have difficulty adapting to ward based teaching.
The evaluation of a ward simulation exercise to support hospital at night practitioners develop safe practice
The University of Dundee Clinical Skills Centre developed and facilitated a generic skills course for the emergency assessment of patients as part of the Introductory Hospital at Night (H@N) Programme within the local NHS Trust. As part of the course a Ward Simulation Exercise (WSE) was developed to provide an effective means of providing individual practitioners with feedback on performance. The University of Dundee School of Nursing and Midwifery has also developed a Masters in Advanced Practice (Nursing) with key modules to address the learning needs of H@N practitioners including modules in Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis, Clinical Sciences for Advanced Practice and the Principles of Acute and Critical Care. This paper describes how the WSE was developed, implemented and evaluated.
Initial evaluation of the use of experiential learning in teaching clinical skills to trainee physicians
The aim of this study was to evaluate a Royal College of Physicians accredited, one day, Senior House Officers' clinical skills course. Questionnaires were given to 11 Senior House Officers, prior to attendance, at completion, and three months after. Prior to the Course, participants felt competent in three to eleven of the twelve skills included. Post Course questionnaires revealed participants found the Course overall to be of benefit. At three months, it was reported that practice had changed and confidence levels had increased. On reflection, participants found the Course valuable, stimulating and relevant to their specific learning needs. We conclude that this form of teaching is an effective way of developing clinical skills in trainee physicians.
Learning to talk with patients: feasibility of a volunteer simulated patient programme for first-year medical students
Background: Medical educators have the challenge of providing learner-centred education in patient-centred environments. Simulation provides an acceptable alternative to meeting students needs while not compromising those of patients. Professional actors contribute extensively to teaching and assessment of communication and other professional skills but are a relatively expensive resource. We wanted to provide our first-year students with a safe and effective means of developing communication skills relevant to interacting with patients.
Methods: We developed a simulated patient programme using volunteers to provide students with an opportunity to interview and receive feedback from members of our local community. This paper describes the development of the programme and evaluates its feasibility. We used observations, questionnaires and focus group interviews in the evaluation that included students, volunteer simulated patients and faculty.
Results: The results showed that the session is feasible and can be delivered with minimal additional costs although it requires careful planning. All participants rated the experience positively with benefits identified for students and volunteers. Areas for development include an elaborated role proforma to support volunteers in planning their patient role, and a more discriminating and extended feedback rating form for volunteers to assess students' patient-centred communication skills.
Conclusion: Our feasibility study identified strengths of the programme and areas for development. Both students and Volunteer Simulated Patients (VSPs) reported benefits. The programme enabled lay members of our community to make a meaningful contribution to undergraduate medical education by providing experiential learning opportunities for novice students.
Designing a clinical skills programme: a partnership between students, patients and faculty
This paper describes the design and implementation of a clinical skills programme within a new UK medical school and the journey that students take in the development of their clinical skills base. The approach at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) is to integrate clinical skills training horizontally and vertically throughout the course, providing an array of opportunities to develop specific skills and a variety of different methods including the use of purpose built clinical skills facilities and extensive patient contact. The focus of the design template was to ensure students would be able to understand the scientific and clinical basis for learning their skills and where to integrate them into their practice. This template is delivered using a building block approach, where students first develop basic skills, which are repeated and enhanced as the course progresses. The provision of extensive formative opportunities to test their own skills development including mock OSCEs and simulators has, in the eyes of the students, helped lead to high levels of competence being achieved in summative assessments. However, until the first cohort of students enter their postgraduate training and development phase, a definitive assessment of our approach to clinical skills is not possible. The feedback from students, patients and faculty thus far though, plus results from clinical skills assessments, indicate that our students are prepared for the delivery of effective patient care.
Examination of the ear: a structured teaching resource
Structured clinical examinations are widely used for assessment of medical students. We have previously proposed that a portfolio of structured teaching resources for individual clinical skills would be beneficial to students, and present a further example of such a teaching pack for examination of the ear and otoscopy.
Developing instructional videos in-house; notes from the front line
Blended learning is a combination of two or more teaching methodologies intended to enhance the learning experience. A group of School of Nursing Staff from Dublin City University recently completed a project to move towards a blended learning model for the practical skills element of one core first year nursing module. This involved the production and development of a bank of continually accessible online instructional videos which are now embedded in the module. The main focus of this paper is on the challenges encountered and solutions devised during the development, production and integration into the module of the instructional videos. The reasons for the shift to a blended learning model and the student evaluation of the videos are also discussed.
Peripheral Arterial Disease & Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI)
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a condition that affects approximately 12-14% of the general population. As many as 75% of affected individuals are asymptomatic and consequently this condition goes largely under diagnosed and untreated. However, once a diagnosis of PAD has been made, regardless of symptoms, patients have a two to three times increased risk of mortality from MI's and strokes. Due to the association of peripheral vascular disease with coronary and cerebral vascular diseases, early detection of this condition is essential in order to reduce morbidity and mortality. One method in doing this is to calculate the ABPI (Ankle Brachial Pressure Index). Unfortunately, calculating the ABPI using different techniques can produce significantly different results. This paper will attempt to demonstrate how one should obtain an ABPI competently and how one would interpret the results.

On Saturday evening, Arizona police officers discovered a severely neglected dog hanging from a door knob in a Phoenix home where they were responding to a domestic dispute call.
Phoenix officer James Holmes said in a news release today, "During the initial investigation officers noticed a severely emaciated dog attached to the door knob of one of the bedrooms with a very large, linked chain as a collar and leash combination. The chain had been applied so tightly only the dog's hind feet could touch the floor." Holmes also reported that the dog, a 2 year old named Ryder, did not have any food or water and appeared to be extremely malnourished.
Ryder was removed from the residence and brought to the Arizona Humane Society where she is in critical condition and being treated by veterinarians. Ryder's bones can be seen through her skin and the veterinarian thinks she may have organ damage from the neglect. The Humane Society reported that she is doing as well as could be expected. They hope to nurse her back to health and then find a loving home to give her a second chance.
Ryder's caretaker, Corina Ann Martinez denied that Ryder was her dog on Saturday. She claimed it belonged to someone else and that she had been chained to the door because she was vicious. Later, Martinez admitted the treatment of Ryder was cruel. Martinez has been arrested and faces one count of felony animal cruelty.

text: Melissa and Dan were recently married at Plimoth Plantation. Yes, this is the same Plimoth Plantation we went to as kids and thought we were talking to people trapped in a 17th Century time warp. They have weddings there too. Who knew! I was so excited to go back. Melissa and Dan were so much fun to work with, and I always love photographing in pretty garden settings.
