Objectives: To describe professional discipline cases in Australia and New Zealand in which doctors were found guilty of professional misconduct, and to develop a typology for describing the misconduct.
Design and setting: A retrospective analysis of disciplinary cases adjudicated in five jurisdictions (New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and New Zealand) in 2000–2009.
Main outcome measures: Characteristics of the cases (setting, misconduct type, patient outcomes, disciplinary measure imposed), characteristics of the doctors involved (sex, specialty, years since qualification) and population-level case rates (by doctor characteristics).
Results: The tribunals studied disciplined 485 doctors. Male doctors were disciplined for misconduct at four times the rate of their female colleagues (91 versus 22 cases per 100 000 doctor-years). Obstetrics and gynaecology and psychiatry were the specialties with the highest rates (224 and 178 cases per 100 000 doctor-years). The mean age of disciplined doctors did not differ from that of the general doctor population. The most common types of offences considered as the primary issue were sexual misconduct (24% of cases), illegal or unethical prescribing (21%) and inappropriate medical care (20%). In 78% of cases, the tribunal made no mention of any patient having experienced physical or mental harm as a result of the misconduct. Penalties were severe, with 43% of cases resulting in removal from practice and 37% in restrictions on practice.
Conclusions: Disciplinary cases in Australia and New Zealand have features distinct from those studied internationally. The recent nationalisation of Australia's medical boards offers new possibilities for tracking and analysing disciplinary cases to improve the safety and quality of health care.
Disciplinary cases brought against doctors by professional regulatory bodies are poorly understood in Australia and New Zealand, and have not been analysed as a group. Information about them comes primarily from the intense media coverage that surrounds selected "scandals". Several published studies1-6 have profiled cases such as these, but all are from the United States.
We analysed cases adjudicated by medical disciplinary tribunals in Australia and New Zealand over a 10-year period. We focused on cases in which a doctor was found guilty of misconduct. Our goal was to describe the characteristics of the doctors involved, the misconduct at issue and the case outcomes. In addition, because a robust typology for organising this information does not exist, we aimed to develop one.
Until 1 July 2010, when a national medical board commenced operation, separate medical boards operated in Australia's eight states and two territories. Our sample was drawn before this amalgamation of boards. The Medical Council of New Zealand has long had national jurisdiction. These agencies bring disciplinary charges in tribunals against doctors suspected of committing various forms of professional misconduct.
The term "tribunal", for the purposes of this study, refers to the disciplinary body in each jurisdiction with the power to remove a doctor from practice other than on an interim basis. These bodies are known by various names, and in some jurisdictions were historically constituted as subcommittees of medical boards, but by the end of our study period all jurisdictions had transferred this function to independent tribunals.
Our sample was taken from all disciplinary cases adjudicated by tribunals in Australia's four most populous states (New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia) and New Zealand between 1 January 2000 and 30 September 2009. These jurisdictions cover about 85% of Australian doctors and all New Zealand doctors.7 After excluding cases in which the tribunal dismissed all charges (n = 65) and those exclusively concerned with non-disciplinary matters such as practitioner impairment (n = 138), our study sample consisted of 485 cases.
The Human Research Ethics Committee, University of Melbourne, approved the study.
Our data came from two main sources. First, we gathered the written determinations associated with all sampled cases. Determinations contain detailed information about the case, including the nature of the charge, the evidence considered, submissions from the doctor concerned, the tribunal's decision and the reasons for and details of any penalties imposed. The texts of these documents ranged in length from a couple of paragraphs to 110 pages. For 80% of cases, the full texts of the determinations were available; for the rest (essentially cases from Victoria in 2000 and early 2001 and cases from WA), only summaries of the determinations were available.
Second, we extracted information on doctors from medical registers. For the jurisdictions and time period covered by our study, this information was publicly accessible online.
We developed an instrument for recording case descriptors (eg, the jurisdiction, decision date, setting of misconduct, number of patients affected, patient outcome and disciplinary measure imposed) and doctor descriptors (eg, sex, specialty and years since qualification).
We also sought to code misconduct type, but a literature review identified substantial limitations in existing typologies. Limitations included too few categories, non-specific categories, and conflating types of misconduct (eg, misprescribing) with the underlying reasons for the misconduct (eg, incompetence or criminality).
We therefore developed a new typology, using a standard coding methodology.8-10 We began with a draft typology derived from merging the categories used by two medical boards (Victoria11 and Queensland12) with relatively comprehensive typologies. Two investigators (K E and D E) independently reviewed a random sample of 100 determinations, applying the draft typology to the misconduct in the cases, and adding and modifying categories as appropriate. We then compared and discussed the results of this review to determine a final set of five misconduct categories (inappropriate medical care, sexual misconduct towards a patient, illegal or unethical prescribing, misconduct not in relation to a patient and other misconduct) and 12 subcategories.
The instrument allowed coding of up to four misconduct types, but directed reviewers to select a primary type in cases with more than one type. The primary misconduct type was defined as the behaviour of most concern to the tribunal. We determined this through close reviews of the determinations, focusing on express comments by the tribunal and the weight of attention given to each misconduct type at issue.
Between September and December 2009, we reviewed the determinations for all sampled cases. Data from these reviews were supplemented with basic sociodemographic data on the doctors involved, collected from medical registries.
To test the reliability of the decisions regarding the coding of misconduct types, 5% of cases (n = 24) were re-reviewed by a second reviewer who was blinded to the first review. Reliability testing on these reviews showed excellent agreement between reviewers for the determinations of primary misconduct type (agreement, 86%; κ, 0.85; standard error, 0.05) and any misconduct type (agreement, 96%; κ, 0.96, standard error, 0.08).
We report counts and percentages for characteristics of the tribunal cases. For doctor sex and specialty, we calculated rates of disciplinary cases at the population level. Specifically, we used registration data and relevant medical workforce reports7,13-15 to estimate the total number of doctors registered in each jurisdiction and year, summed them to create denominators consisting of registered doctor-years, and then applied the disciplinary case counts as numerators. For the comparison of rates by sex, we adjusted the denominator for female practitioners to allow for their lower mean working hours per week relative to males (38 hours versus 47 hours per week7,13). The registration and medical workforce data also allowed calculation of mean years since qualification, for doctors in the wider population (using mean age minus 24 years) during the study period, which we compared with the corresponding mean in the study sample. All analyses were conducted using Stata, version 10 (StataCorp, College Station, Tex, USA).
Tribunals in Victoria, NSW, Queensland, WA and New Zealand heard 550 disciplinary cases against doctors between January 2000 and September 2009. In 88% of all those cases (range, 76% to 93%), the doctor concerned was found guilty of misconduct and disciplined accordingly. The discipline rate was 6 per 10 000 doctors per year.
About one-third of the cases occurred in Victoria and just over one-quarter occurred in NSW (Box 1), even though there are more doctors registered to practise in NSW than there are in Victoria.7,13 The case rate decreased over the study period, from 175 in 2000–2002 to 116 in 2006–2008. The misconduct at issue occurred in a clinical setting in two-thirds of cases, with most clinical cases (217/293 [74%]) occurring in non-inpatient settings.
Physical harm to patients occurred in 9% of cases and patient death in 8%. However, the most prevalent outcome for affected patients was being upset at what had occurred and, in 78% of cases (380/485), there was no mention in the tribunal determination of physical or psychiatric harm to the patient as a result of the misconduct.
In 43% of cases, the doctor was removed from practice, either temporarily (via suspension) or permanently (via deregistration). In 19% of cases (93), the only disciplinary measure imposed was a non-restrictive sanction (for example, a caution, reprimand or fine) which did not interrupt the doctor's immediate or long-term ability to practise.
Male doctors accounted for 91% of the cases and were disciplined at over four times the rate of female doctors (91 versus 22 cases per 100 000 registered doctor-years) (Box 2). Nearly two-thirds of the cases were against general practitioners, who had the third-highest case rate (131 per 100 000 registered doctor-years), behind obstetrician–gynaecologists (224) and psychiatrists (178). Disciplined doctors gained their primary medical qualification a mean of 21.4 years before committing the misconduct (range, − 4 to 55 years; standard deviation, 9.8 years), which is identical to the estimated mean years since qualification for the wider doctor population in the relevant jurisdictions.
Box 3 shows several examples of types of misconduct and how these behaviours were coded in our typology.
The leading type of misconduct was sexual misconduct towards a patient, which was the primary issue in 24% of cases (Box 4). This type of misconduct occurred almost exclusively among male doctors (110/114, 96%). Two-thirds of the sexual misconduct involved sexual relationships with patients as opposed to other inappropriate sexual contact (eg, unnecessary examination and touching of sexual organs).
Illegal or unethical prescribing (the primary issue in 21% of cases) was the next most common type of misconduct, followed by inappropriate medical care (20%), which was split between treatment problems (73%, 69/95) and diagnostic errors (27%, 26/95).
Other types of misconduct for which doctors were disciplined were breaches of registration conditions that had already been imposed (primary issue in 7% of cases), inadequate or inappropriate issuing of medical certificates or keeping of medical records (5%), failure to obtain informed consent (5%), and criminal offences unrelated to patients (4%). Expanding the analysis beyond the primary issues to include all issues in the cases (Box 4) dramatically increased the prominence of two types of misconduct: problems with medical certificates or records (5%–26% of cases) and treatment issues (14%–36%).
This study showed that male doctors were disciplined for misconduct at four times the rate of their female colleagues. Among specialties, obstetrics and gynaecology and psychiatry had the highest rates. The most common types of offences were sexual misconduct (particularly intimate relationships with patients), illegal or unethical prescribing and substandard treatment. In nearly two-thirds of cases, no patient experienced physical or psychiatric harm as a result of the misconduct. The penalties were severe: 81% of cases led to either deregistration or restrictions on practice.
The finding that male doctors are more often sanctioned by medical tribunals than female doctors echoes findings from the US.2-6,16,17 The standard explanation is that female doctors tend to display more of the attributes "that underpin a good doctor–patient relationship",16 thereby provoking fewer patient complaints and reduced exposure to disciplinary processes.5,17
The markedly high rates of disciplinary cases observed against psychiatrists and obstetricians and gynaecologists also resonate with previous US research.1-6 The explanation is contested. Provider factors may play a role, with disproportionate selection into these specialties by individuals with personal characteristics that put them at elevated risk of disciplinary action. A rival explanation underlines the distinctive aspects of the clinical activities these specialists perform, and the patient populations they serve, as independent risk factors. Although such patient factors may play a role, they are unlikely to tell the whole story.
Several measures in our study highlight that serious harm to patients is not a pre-requisite for serious disciplinary action against doctors. Forty-one per cent of cases involved only upset or risks to patients, 5% had no impact on the patient involved, and 15% involved misconduct unrelated to patients. Yet 43% of these non-injurious cases resulted in removal from or restrictions on practice for the offending doctor (the same as the removal rate for cases associated with patient injuries). Taken together, these findings indicate that boards and tribunals interpret their public protection mandate as extending to intervening in risky actions and behaviours, not merely reacting to circumstances where palpable damage has been done. A review of media reports about regulatory oversight in this area might incorrectly suggest otherwise.
Our study maps the frequency of specific types of misconduct among doctors in Australia and New Zealand for the first time. Sexual misconduct and illegal or unethical prescribing top the list. One-fifth of the cases from Australia and New Zealand involved illegal or unethical prescribing as the primary issue, which is close to figures from recent US studies2,4,6 that have identified this as an issue in 11%–19% of disciplinary cases (though one must be cautious making such comparisons because some US studies include impairment findings, which we excluded). By contrast, sexual misconduct appears to feature as a far more prevalent misconduct type in Australia and New Zealand than in the US,1,4-6 where it has been reported as an issue in only 4%–10% of cases.
Inappropriate medical care also features prominently in our sample, particularly when all misconduct types (not just the primary one) are considered. This result bucks traditional concepts of medical boards as self-regulators with a near-exclusive focus on sexual misconduct and substance misuse. We see clear evidence that they are also asserting their authority to address quality-of-care concerns.
Finally, misconduct in relation to inadequate or inappropriate issuing of medical certificates and maintaining of medical records warrants special mention. This was the primary issue in only one in 20 cases, but more than one-quarter of cases showed negative findings in this area. In other words, misconduct regarding medical certificates and records frequently coexisted with other forms of misconduct. This was because these breaches are often uncovered during an investigation for another breach. International research has identified the same phenomenon.18 From a policy perspective, it highlights the fact that professional misconduct is often multilayered rather than confined to a single, isolated breach.
Our study has several limitations. First, in constructing descriptive variables, we relied on information contained in the tribunal determinations. Second, the rate statistics used data from the results of workforce surveys which were not sent to some classes of registrants in Queensland. However, the statistical properties of the fractions (small numerators and very large denominators) make them robust against slight-to-moderate variations in the population-level counts. Third, our rate comparisons on doctors' sex and specialty do not adjust for the possible interaction of these variables. However, we do note that the three specialties with the highest complaint rates (psychiatry, obstetrics and gynaecology, and general practice) are no more male dominated than medicine generally, suggesting that these high rates are not the artefact of an underlying sex effect.
Fourth, context is important in interpreting findings from this study. We analysed a select group of disciplinary cases: those at the upper level of the disciplinary process in which doctors were found guilty of misconduct. Further, the statistics we report, such as the prevalence of various misconduct types, should not be construed as direct indicators of the incidence of such behaviours in practice. Rather, the figures we report are, in theory, a function of three interrelated elements: the underlying rate of misconduct, the rate at which misconduct is reported to tribunals, and how boards and tribunals act on such reports. Our study observes the product of these interactions but cannot separate the independent role of any one of them in determining counts and rates of disciplinary action.
The recent nationalisation of Australia's disciplinary framework for health professionals, under the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, opens up new possibilities for tracking and learning from disciplinary matters. This study introduces new tools for pursuing this work; it also maps a basic epidemiology of cases in which Australian and New Zealand doctors have been disciplined in the decade to 2010. Ultimately, the core goal of any rigorous empirical analysis of professional misconduct should be to assist regulators in ensuring Australians receive safe care at the hands of competent practitioners. However, improved public understanding of these cases is also important. Without that, anecdotes and media reports of particular "scandals" may produce a distorted perspective.

Born In
Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States
After the release of Anthony Green's Avalon, Green asked Circa Survive guitarist Colin Frangicetto to remix a few of the songs on the album, since he had been experimenting with techno music samples throughout Green's solo tour. The few songs became an entire album because Frangicetto had so much fun with the remixes, and Photo Finish Records released the remix CD with the limited edition vinyl release of Avalon in January 2009.

The US FDA approved Cialis as a safe and effective drug to manage ED. This kind of certification is not provided to just any medication. The side effects of the medicine were also minimal after the assessments and trials done.
The efficiency of Ciais
The effectiveness is another thing that must be checked besides where to buy Cialis online. Cialis works well and risk-free for use.

However, the options today have nothing to do with the image of them that they had previously. One option for them and for anyone who wants to plan a dignified and safe future is elderly care giver services.
Reasons why there is an increasing need for Non-Medical Senior Care
Changing concept of homes for seniors comes from an objective analysis of reality. The life expectancy has increased over the past 50 years. If before it was considered old a person of 60 years, today people are more than seventy totally independent, active and vital years. A better quality of life, medical advances and better sanitary control make longevity increases year after year.
It is known that the number of people over 65 years in the world will double to 14% over the next 30 years, increasing from 506 million today to 1,400 million in 2040. Even, the rate of elderly outstrip children under five.
In the last three decades, the figure of the older person went from being something respected and valued, a figure left on the sidelines. The cult of youth, competition, innovation, led to the largest in the shade. If prior work experience in a guaranteed job promotion, during the 1990s a birthday was a factor against it. For a lot of experience that I had, an unemployed 50 year old had very little chance of re-entering the labor market.
Less than a decade has begun to rethink the model. If there are an increasing number of elderly and young people decreased contributing to the social security and pensions, what is needed is that older adults are active and likely to work longer. The age of retirement increases and also increase assistance programs for seniors can continue occupationally active for as long as they wish.
However, you need a change of mentality, not only of society but of them elderly, feel able to follow a full life despite the limitations of age. It is necessary to enhance the older person as a source wisdom, experience and knowledge and provide the best means for you to continue with a full life, not only as a passive actor, but as protagonists of their own history, which, according to projections can be even quite long . Empower, promote their autonomy and give them all the support they need.

Spaghetti Ortolana
By Aroma Cucina on August 17, 2011
Featured BlogHer Network Post
[Editor's Note: This spaghetti, which combines warm-from-the-garden tomatoes with capers and a chili pepper kick, combines a number of my very favorite flavors. It's perfect for the peak of the tomato season, and easy to throw together on nights when cooking feels like a burden, but sitting on the porch for hours is the perfect activity. -Genie]
Kitchen Garden Lunch: Spaghetti Ortolana
Is it any wonder, when the world feels baked to a crisp, why three showers a day might not be enough, and the urge to howl at the full moon seems like a perfectly good idea, that a walk to our garden, and a chat with friends, seems like a mini-vacation after the torrid heat we've endured? We've reached the harvesting point where lunch can be made by just visiting the orto, our kitchen garden. It's so deliciously easy now, to walk over to the garden, with no plan in mind, just a "let's see what needs to be eaten" attitude.

wikiHow to Make a Healthy Cereal Breakfast
This recipe is not only healthy but it's also delicious. It uses items that are probably already in your kitchen pantry, with some additional fruit purchases. It's hard to return to commercial cereal mixes once you master the art of making your own.
1Make sure you have about a cup of plain yogurt and a half cup of cereal. A simple cereal, such as Corn Flakes, would work best, that way when you mix all the ingredients together, the tastes compliment each other and don't make you feel nauseous.
2Pour the cereal into a bowl and add the plain yogurt, mixing it in thoroughly.
3Add some fruit-flavored syrup, but sticking to low-sugar or sugar-free jelly or jam would be a healthier choice. This is optional, since you might want to add fruit and the syrup/jelly or jam might make the breakfast too sweet.
4Add fruit. Fruits that can be delicious to add would be any kind of berries such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. Nuts like walnuts, almonds, raisins are great for that crunchy texture. They are delicious and you don't need to chop them up!
5Mix everything very well.
6Serve with a cold glass of orange juice for vitamin C, and enjoy!

Welcome to the third edition of PoPtrekker. In case you missed it, you can see Vol. 2 here. This week I visited Anacostia. I'd like to thank Jacqueline who filmed and edited this volume. (Ed. Note: Intangible Arts will be back to film and edit Vol. 4 so don't hesitate to email me your suggestions for future PoPtrekkers.) I'd also like to thank David from the blog And Now, Anacostia who created a map for me as I had never been to Anacostia before. Good times.

My heart is warmed.
I love how accessible you make the city look. I usually don't wander into a place without a plan or appointment. I'm going to make a point to start being more spontaneous.
Nice work!
Curtis Furniture! Long gone now, but that was the Curtis Furniture building.
The "warship" is the Barry – a decommissioned destroyer. You can visit it: http://www.history.navy.mil/visit/visit5.htm
And I have to agree with the anon above – I'm glad to see people out enjoying our wonderful neighborhoods, learning about the city beyond Fedworld. Good job.
Good show! Next time you trek to Anacostia, check out Marvin Gaye park & his childhood home (next to Watts Branch).
this is great — and thanks for the shout out!
and, re: marvin gaye park. that is in Deanwood. In NE. The park is 5 Miles from Anacostia, which is in SE.. haha.
On the next PoPtrekker, how about visiting Deanwood and the Marvin Gaye park?
I'm geographically challenged – I spent time working in Deanwood but you wouldn't know it~
Next PoPTrekker will be a prolonged video tour of what's in my refrigerator. It's a quest to find what the hell is making that godawful STINK. And here I was blaming the dog this whole time. Surely I'm kidding? What?
Well done, PoP/Jacqueline… the interview clips put good life into these things.
MPinDC – If you are interested in Deanwood, have I got the event for you.
Yes, on April 4th, the Deanwood Heritage Trail will be unveiled.
PoP, did you pick up any GDoN?'s while in Anacostia? That could be interesting.
Both "interesting" and "very cool".
Again, good show, good show.
Point of interest: is your camera person Noodles MacIntosh from U-62?
That was interesting – so many neat old houses in Anacostia.
Two things: why don't you take a native Washingtonian along with you who can fill you in on the history of the area? Shouldn't be too hard to find. Also, this grates on my nerves when people pronounce it Anna-Cost-Ee-Ah. It's Anna-cost-ya, people!
Nice hat. Whoever gave it to you must be a great guy
Lots of good doors on the hill plus in the summer full marine dress show (were they twirl the guns etc) in barracks row

Creditors of Dewey & LeBoeuf's London and Paris arm are lining up to claim dues from the defunct firm, with a subsidiary of insurer Axa demanding more than £600,000 from the failed firm's estate.
SCI Vendôme Bureaux, part of the French insurance giant, is claiming £605,028 for an unpaid commercial lease related to the US firm's French office.
The Paris-based property manager has instructed Monkam Solicitors founder Alain-Christian Monkam to represent it in its claim, with the company and other creditors now waiting for Dewey's UK administrators to issue their proposals by the end of July.
BDO partners Mark Shaw and Shay Bannon, the joint administrators of the UK LLP, are set to issue their statement of proposals to creditors before the end of the month, with the deadline for producing this falling eight weeks after the firm filed for administration in the UK, which was on 28 May (29 May 2012).
A meeting of creditors is then required within 10 weeks of the filing.
Last month Dewey's US bankruptcy team filed a court motion to reject its global office leases including its Paris base at 51 Rue Pierre Charron.
Meanwhile, in London, Dewey's City landlord, Prudential, is expected to emerge as one of the creditors owed the most by the UK LLP, which covered the London and Paris offices.
Monkam declined to comment. Axa and BDO were unavailable for comment.

Love it
For me, this is perfect. It replaces foundation and gives a smooth appearance to my face. I use it after her vitamin c spf day cream.Countrygal1, OHWas this review helpful? Yes (3) No (0) Report if inappropriate
Awesome Stuff
This is the best foundation I have found in years. I am over 65 and do not like the heavy mask look. This product perfectly matches my skin tone, does not highlight my wrinkles and makes my skin glow. It is light, airy and lasts at least 12 hours without oil shine. I think it is a bit pricey but sometimes you can get it as part of a kit and reduce the cost. One tube lasts 3 to 4 months and unlike creams in a jar you only squeeze out what you want and since you do not touch the product with your fingers it stays relatively germ free.Luvtoski, PAWas this review helpful?

Love it!
I am 66 and no longer use any kind of foundation or makeup other than this product. Don't need it with this. Regular foundations just seem to make me look older as it seems to show your wrinkles more and makes your face look dry and more aged. This just glides on so smooth and makes my skin look moist and stays feeling and looking smooth and more youthful all day. Understand that I still have those wrinkles but they sure don't show up and standout like they use too and I just feel so much better with this on. Third re-order for me. Also love her Rapid Transport C Infused Night Creme and Day creme as well. No more dry feeling skin in the morning for me!craftyC38, FLWas this review helpful? Yes (11) No (0) Report if inappropriate
This is my favorite makeup! It covers all my flaws & wrinkles. I've ordered a lot of SCA's products over the years & love 99% of them, but this is on the top of my list of favorites! I wish Adrienne was on hsn more often!Pat1980, PAWas this review helpful? Yes (9) No (0) Report if inappropriate
I don't normally leave reviews. But I love this stuff. and I ordered it this time separately from a package because I use it so much. its lightweight and perfect and blends effortlessly.

A leading mental health body yesterday called for warning symbols to accompany airbrushed pictures of models and celebrities to help combat eating disorders.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists said a kite mark on digitally enhanced photographs would raise awareness of how often such manipulation takes place and help stop people trying to achieve "unattainable physical perfection".
The college also used London Fashion week to call for a ban on underweight models.
The college urged the next Government to set up a forum, made up of politicians, experts, and representatives from the media and advertising, for the development of an editorial ethical code.
Consultant psychiatrist Dr Adrienne Key, of the college's eating disorders section, said the media must be stopped from "glamorising" excessive weight-loss and adding to the psychological and social pressures faced by young people.
She said: "What we need to do is raise people's awareness of what they are looking at. A lot of people have no idea how much manipulation goes on."
She said there was mounting evidence to show the role of the media in the development of eating disorders, particularly in adolescents and young people.
And she added: "The aims of the forum should be to collaboratively develop an ethical editorial code that realistically addresses the damaging portrayal of eating disorders, raises awareness of unrealistic visual imagery created through airbrushing and digital enhancement, and also addresses the skewed and erroneous content of magazines."
In its "Call for Action" the college also called for mass media "role models" with diverse weights, shapes and ages, and a ban on the use of underweight models.
It urged the media to stop publishing "body critical" articles targeting celebrities for being overweight, underweight or physically imperfect.
Susan Ringwood, chief executive of beat, a charity combating eating disorders, said: "We welcome this call to action from the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
"The media is a powerful influence and we know how vulnerable some people at risk of eating disorders can be to its visual images in particular.
"We know there is more that can be done to make that influence a positive one, and adopting the recommendations of the college's statement would be an important step."Reuse content

Vote for #studentfarmer to win in magazine awards
NewsThursday 08 May 2014
The National Farmers Union's own magazine for the next generation of farmers has been shortlisted for a top award and is in need of your vote.
The mag, called #studentfarmer, is going up against the likes of Cosmopolitan, Esquire and Harper's Bazaar in the running for the award.
#studentfarmer was launched in September 2012 and it is the only magazine shortlisted for Cover of the Year that is based on farming. The Cover of the Year is in the Professional Publishers Association Awards and it will be decided by a public vote.
The NFU is calling for help in order to take on some of the biggest names in the magazine business in order to make their 'Fighting Farming Stereotypes' edition a winner at the awards ceremony.
Other entries in the category have capitalised on celebrity presence including Kate Moss, The Prince of Wales and Miley Cyrus, whereas #studentfarmer has stayed true to its cause with an original and quirky design that involves a piglet in a flat cap.
Emily Cole, editor of #studentfarmer, said: "Although we may appear to be the underdog in this competition, bearing in mind the big names we are up against, we believe that with the farming community's backing, we can give the bigger publications a run for their money.
The award will be given to the front cover which has the most votes. Members of the public can vote once a day, every day until June 6 2014 at www.ppa.co.uk/theppaawards.

At the mouth of the Hudson River estuary, one of the most urbanized and pollution impacted estuaries in North America, estuarine water forms a buoyant plume which transports nutrients and contaminants into the Mid-Atlantic Bight. As part of the LaGrangian Transport and Transformation Experiment (LaTTE), the transport, transformation, and zooplankton bioaccumulation of contaminant and terrestrial metals (Ag, Al, Cd, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Pb, Zn) in the plume were examined in May 2004, April 2005, and May 2006. In order to determine the low level concentrations of dissolved metals in plume waters, an improved method for determining metals in seawater by online column preconcentration, isotope dilution HR-ICP-MS was developed. Within the plume, metal concentrations generally decreased as plume waters were diluted with low metal shelf water. Within the plume, particle sinking was an important loss mechanism for metals. The formation of a narrow coastal current resulted in rapid down shelf (southward) transport of plume constituents, while the formation of a large recirculating eddy delayed down shelf transport, resulted in increased particle sinking, and may result in cross shelf (eastward) transport if shifting winds advect plume waters offshore. Results suggest that while plume particulate matter was composed of a mixture of biogenic and terrigenous material, metals were primarily (54-100%) associated with terrigenous particles. Hg in the plume was largely associated with particulate matter (median 61%) and dissolved Hg had similar concentrations as those in North Atlantic surface waters. Water-particle distribution coefficients (KD) for Hg were relatively constant in 2004 and 2005, but decreased within the plume within the phytoplankton bloom at mid salinity in 2006, suggesting that plume phytoplankton may release Hg binding ligands in response to metal stress. With the exception of Cd, metals in plume copepods were elevated relative to oceanic copepods. Modeling results show that trophic transfer was an important bioaccumulation pathway for Cd, Cu, and Zn, while the importance of this pathway for Ag was less clear. Comparison with toxicity data suggests that plume zooplankton may experience sub-lethal toxic effects from Ag and Zn, however future work will be required to confirm or refute this hypothesis.

I'm not the best judge as I don't know a lot of little kids, but none of your names elicit a "Not another...." response from me. The only ones I hear a lot are Jack (usually short for Jackson), Olivia, and Hannah, but in my mind, those are all great, classic names.
Names from your list that I'd find refreshing to hear on a child: Ian, Josephine, Emmeline, Avery (my nephew's name, so I'm always happy to see it on another boy!)Miriam ~ Tabitha ~ Estella ~ Beatrice ~ Anastasia ~ Veronica ~ Sarah ~ EstherPaul ~ Wesley ~ Walter ~ Edmund ~ Isaac ~ Abram ~ Gabriel

I really like all the names in your signature and would use them regardless of popularity, especially if they have a family connection. Besides, what if you passed over one of your favorites to chose a name for its uniqueness only to have it become the next big thing? For example, there are three little Maeve in my social circle, all of their parents thought they would never meet another Maeve! (Little did they know...)
For what its worth, I have one of the most popular female names of all time (Elizabeth) and I've always loved my name regardless of its popularity!

I wouldn't change your names if you really love them and they have family significance. I also really love Jack, it's just a pretty awesome name. One idea I had was doing it so that the initials worked well together to use as a nickname like JJ if he has a problem being known as Jack F. or something. Also there is Jock the Scottish version that's different enough but very similar. I think very few people groan when they hear a common name. For me it's more the trendy ones (Jayden) or names that for some reason I just really dislike.Mother to: Patrick Werner (3/10) , Mary Claire (06/12) and Margaret Rose (05/15)

Thanks, ladies! @cmkmommy - I am with you totally--I'm an Ashley and loved the popularity of my name. I was shy, and I loved having a name that made me feel like I "fit in", even if I didn't, really. I can't really see my children being super friendly/popular/loud/in-your-face, so I feel like my children would probably appreciate having a familiar, sturdy, classic, yet appealing, wonderful name. Plus, the majority of my kids will likely be adopted, anyway, so if I do change their names, I feel like they'd appreciate having a name that helped them feel like they fit in, too. I'm not really fussed about choosing an obscure name--I've ranted enough times about how people suggest Isadora to me because it's less common than Isabelle, which I frankly don't give a hoot about. It's Isabelle I love; it's Isabelle I'll use. If I wanted obscure, I'd use obscure. But on my vacation, I realized how overplayed some of these names were--Sofia, Noah, etc.--and I didn't want people cringing at the names I will potentially give my children, either.Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

I love the name Isobel and I agree Isadora just isn't the same. I love mostly popular names Matilda is number 18 and Alice is 49 in Wa though there were only 34 Alice's and 108 Matilda's not really a huge number especially since WA is such a large state. Use what you want to use popularity isn't important my name is at number 97 in Australia and obscure in the US it went up 21 places after being out of the top 100 for two years. What I'm trying to say is you can't control what happens with popularity and Jack isn't all that popular in the US its been in the top ten for ages here and Isabelle is a different name to isabella.Isobel | Eloise | Matilda | Lucia | Alice | Eleanor | Amelia | Felicity | Phoebe | Eilidh | Rosalia | Zoe | Azalea | Genevieve | Tallulah | Everleigh | Rebecca | Leila | Harper | Grace | Zara |
