Professor Matthew Wright
Professor of Greek
Extension: 4206
Telephone: 01392 724206
(On leave from January 2017)
I am a classical scholar, literary critic and teacher with wide interests in ancient and modern literature. I have been a member of the Department of Classics and Ancient History at Exeter since leaving Oxford in 1999. My special research interests lie in Greek and Roman drama, ancient literary criticism, fragmentary and lost works, and the idea of 'quotation culture' in the ancient world (that is, the ways in which literature was quoted, deployed or manipulated in a variety of different contexts). I recently organized an international conference on this last topic - Classical Literature and Quotation Culture - which took place in Exeter in July 2016; a volume of papers based on this conference is forthcoming.
I am also one of the lead academics for Exeter's new Liberal Arts degree programme, and I teach on one of its core modules (The Art of Reading and Writing). For a year I taught at Vassar College, NY, an experience which opened my eyes to the intellectual and personal values associated with a liberal arts education.
At the moment my main project is the completion of a major two-volume work, The Lost Plays of Greek Tragedy. Volume 1 (Neglected Authors) was published by Bloomsbury in autumn 2016, and I am currently using a period of research leave to finish Volume 2 (Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides). Also appearing during 2016-17 are Selfhood and The Soul (an edited collection in honour of my colleague Chris Gill) and a new translation of Euripides' Ion, Helen and Orestes by Diane Arnson Svarlien, to which I contributed the introduction and notes. My other publications include The Comedian as Critic (2012), Euripides: Orestes (2008), Euripides' Escape-Tragedies (2005), and numerous articles and reviews.
I am an active member of the Classical Association at local and national levels (I am Secretary of the South-West branch) and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. At various times I have also been one of the editors of JHS, a committee member of the Council for UK Classics Departments (CUCD), a Council Member of the Hellenic Society, and a member of the editorial team of Omnibus.
When I am not being a classicist, my main interest is music: I am a pianist, organist and singer, and have performed widely as a soloist and accompanist.

One of the rescuers was Andre Vercueil a South African doctor working in the UK. Rumours that he was listening to \"Del la Rey\" on his ipod during the rescue are unfounded. Nice to see a positive incident involving South African climbers after the Woodhall debacle.

Prologue Part 4
As the leader stepped up to the spears being pointed at them, he began to look up at the ceiling windows. He noticed the light reflecting on the bronze tip of the spear just a few centimetres way from his face. He took his helm off, revealing the face of a middle aged man with glowing, blue markings on his face. His hair was white as snow, and he had the scars of many battles alon his neck.
"We are here to serve justice, stand down or face the wrath of the gods," he said. "The gods, you think I am going to bow down to some chevaliers knocking on my door because of some gods!?" the king spat. "Plough the gods, I will never surrender my land or my crown!" he yelled as he unsheathed his sword. "So be it," the man put his helm back on.
He stepped back to join his team, all were ready for what is to come next. The tyrant ordered his men to charge, and so they did. Running to meet their spear edges with their swords.

MP4 to iMovie- How to Add MP4 video to iMovie for editing
Follow the quick-start guide to learn how to convert MP4 videos for editing in iMovie without quality loss.
iMovie puts the basics of digital editing at your fingertips. It is a user-friendly program designed to be intuitive so that you can learn while you create. Recently a problem troubled me for days. iMovie won't import MP4, why? Sometimes, I can edit MP4 file in it successfully, but it also happens MP4 cannot added into iMovie. What's the solution?
As some guys explained, iMovie only accepts MP4 file which contains MPEG-4 and H.264 codecs. While, the audio, subtitle or other media source that embed in MP4 might have different codecs. In this case, we cannot judge the video format by examining the file extension name only. Then, providing that you want to add MP4 to iMovie, the common advice is to convert your MP4 to iMovie preferred format like Apple InterMediate Codec .mov, which will save you both time and trouble, and all you need is to drag the result videos for prompt editing.
How to Convert MP4 for Editing in iMovie smoothly
Step 1: Download, install and run Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac, and then click the "Add" button to load the .mp4 videos.
The program is an easy-to-use Mac MP4 converter for you, which can help you change MP4 into a different format like AIC .mov with least quality loss. You should then be able to import the new file into iMovie with smooth editing without any trouble. It will ensure a perfect MP4 file importing, playing and editing workflow with iMovie 08/09/11.
Step 2: You can choose iMovie/FCE — > Apple InterMediate Codec(AIC) (*.mov) as the output format. The output video can be imported to iMovie 11/iMovie 09/iMovie 08 directly.
Tip: Click the Settings icon to adjust video and audio parameters on the Profile Setting as you need to get the best quality video.
Step 3: Simply click the "Convert" button to start converting and everything else will be automated. If you have added quite a bunch of video files, it would take some time to convert. In such case, you can click Option and tick the box "Shut down the computer after conversion".
You're done. Now your MP4 files will be converted into Apple InterMediate Codec MOV files ready to be imported to iMovie beautifully.

Carolinas Healthcare System, Charlotte, NC
SESSION TYPE: Education and Teaching in Critical Care Posters
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: To illustrate that a weekly educational conference, in a tertiary community hospital, could help align physician practice styles, keep physicians abreast of important advancements in the field, result in improved physician alliance with evidence-based practices, and improve quality performance measures.
METHODS: 18 full-time clinical pulmonary/critical care physicians were surveyed annually since 2008 regarding their perceptions of a weekly pulmonary and critical care case conference. The author (JS) developed this conference as a forum for collective knowledge sharing on disease management, in concert with Charlotte Area Healthcare Education Network (AHEC). In accordance with Continuing Medical Education (CME) guidelines, defined measures of conference impact in clinical practice were tracked.
RESULTS: 18 participants attended over half the time they were available, and 16/18 felt the conference did "Well/Very Well" in reviewing national trends in quality initiatives related to pulmonary and critical care medicine. 17 of 18 felt that the conference provided evidence-based guidance on how to manage a variety of disease states, directly impacted style of practice, and enhanced the academic environment at the community hospital. 18/18 felt the conference provided individual, group and institutional value. Improvement in core measure performance was noted during the time of this conference, including increased adherence to protocols to prevent bloodstream infections and ventilator-associated pneumonias. Importantly, the survey results showed improved conference performance over the 3 years of surveys.
CONCLUSIONS: A weekly pulmonary and critical care conference can be an important tool for individual, groups, and healthcare institutions to promote high-quality evidence-based care, and is achievable even in a busy community hospital.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Locally driven ongoing educational conference series can improve patient care by allowing physicians to understand important developments in their field as well as provide value to the physicians, the physician group, and to the healthcare institution as perceived by its providers.

Dawn in Avana
Dawn was just breaking out, golden rays of the sun appearing on the thin horizon. The scene was quiet, the chirping of the birds being the only sound that could be heard in the calm town of Evaselington. Though it was the capital of the Kingdom of Avana, during the early mornings it was deadly silent. Curfews were assigned to the townspeople for their safety, and rule-breakers were rarely seen lurking around. But the trotting of the horse's hooves against the cobble-stoned streets signified something very different.
Zahra was just beginning to stir; her brown eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the glimpses of light that were entering the small settlement around her.
Where am I?
Questions popped up in her mind as she straightened her posture, sitting up before looking around her. The whinny of the horse startled Zahra, as she jumped slightly, eyes absorbing the setting quickly. At that moment, memories flooded back into her mind. And that was when she started to panic.
Zahra took in a silent but deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She was very conscious of the fact that she could feel a hard and thick rope binding her hands together behind her back. She was lucky enough that the man who'd captured her hadn't yet noticed that she was conscious.
What to do?
Trying to clear her mind, Zahra tried not to fidget but she remembered something that would come in handy. In the back pocket of her pants, she had a small but sharp razor and if luck was on her side, it should cut through the rope that restricted her.
Slowly rolling over her side, she opened her eyes the lightest crack and noticed that her kidnapper was adjusting the back strap of the saddle, his eyes far from her. Perfect timing. Quickly, she moved her hand forward, the rope cutting against the skin of her wrist. Slipping her fingers into the pocket, they made contact with the cold metal and bringing the razor out she begin to saw through the rope as fast as she could.
The sudden movement caused the man to look forward. His eyes passed over Zahra, eyes widening when he realized what she was doing. But before he could stop her, she moved back on the saddle, colliding her back against the metal of his armor. apping her head back, she glared at her kidnapper - staring into the brilliant emerald eyes in fury.
Before he could do anything to stop her, Zahra twisted her body, yanking the remaining but loose rope off her wrist and punched him hard. It was with enough force to knock him off the horse as his body made hard contact against the ground.
For a moment, Zahra was at an advantage. She had control of the horse and could easily make an escape. But she was in unknown territory, and was a stranger to the ways of this town. Risking the chance of being alive wasn't a game that she was ready to play when not in her own battlefield.
Sighing regrettably, she dismounted the horse, her worn sandals touching the cool surface of the street. At the sight of the man that she hated oh-so-much on the ground, she couldn't help but for a smile to play on her lips. Vengeance felt sweet.
Towering over him, she demanded, "Tell me where I am!" He didn't say anything, leaning against his elbow for support as he wiped the blood that trickled down the edge of his mouth.
Zahra won't be going down, not without an answer and definitely not without a fight. Bending down, she grabbed hold of the tunic beneath his armor, yanking him forward. "Tell me!"
But his face masked the emotions of confusion and hesitance that he felt on the inside. Zahra was forced into having no other choice. Pulling her hand back as it formed into a tight fist, she was about to give him another hard blow on the face when he blurted, "Evaselington!"
She blinked, unbelieving that he'd given in so easily. "You sure are cowardly for a knight," she scoffed, dropping her hand back to her side as she scanned the area. While she did, her hand slipped into the pocket on her waist-belt, seeking the dagger her father had given her. But the sharp touch of the crude metal was missing.

The Body at Risk: Photography of Disorder, Illness, and Healing
€ 35,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Januar 2006
Beschreibung"The Body at Risk: Photography of Disorder, Illness, and Healing "is the first book to explore the ways that photojournalists and social documentarians have conceptualized the human subject as a site of both good and ill health. The volume looks at photographs depicting child laborers; Depression-era health programs; general medical care in the southern United States at mid-century; people with HIV, AIDS, and polio, along with their caretakers and the health workers who advocate for them; environmental pollution; physical and psychological injuries received during warfare; domestic violence; and emergency care in the modern urban hospital. It brings together ten significant bodies of photographs made over the past one hundred years to show how human health topics have been represented for the general public and how the emphasis on health has shifted; how photography has been used to present and promote certain points of view about health and the social circumstances that affect it, both positively and negatively; and how photography has helped shape public knowledge of and opinion about health care and some of the events and circumstances that engender it.

Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT
SESSION TITLE: Non Pulmonary Critical Care
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Slide
PRESENTED ON: Monday, October 28, 2013 at 07:30 AM - 09:00 AM
PURPOSE: Studies of older adults in the ICU are often hampered by inability to assess patients' baseline functional status prior to critical illness. Some components of functional status overlap with components of frailty, a marker of patient vulnerability. A reliable proxy instrument would allow assessment of baseline functional status and frailty in critically ill older persons preceding ICU admission. In order to determine validity of proxy assessments, we evaluated agreement between patient and proxy responses using instruments of functional status.
METHODS: Patients in this cohort were ≥60 years old. We examined responses from 179 paired patient-proxy interviews that included instruments for basic activities of daily living (BADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). Interviews were conducted one month after ICU admission. Proxies were screened to determine the best available respondent. Kappa statistics were used to assess agreement.
RESULTS: Overall, there was good agreement between patients and proxies on assessment of BADLs, the strongest being bathing (κ=0.82; 95%CI 0.74, 0.91). There was also substantial agreement for dressing (κ=0.73; 95%CI 0.62, 0.84), toileting (κ=0.76; 95%CI 0.65, 0.87), transferring from bed to chair (κ=0.76; 95%CI 0.66, 0.87), walking across a small room (κ=0.79; 95%CI 0.69, 0.89), and eating (κ=0.62; 95%CI 0.46, 0.78). Agreement between patients and proxies for IADLs was more heterogeneous. Getting to places beyond walking distance showed excellent agreement (κ=0.86; 95%CI 0.75, 0.97). Agreement was substantial for grocery shopping (κ=0.68; 95%CI 0.49, 0.87), housework (κ=0.68; 95%CI 0.47, 0.90) and managing money (κ=0.69; 95%CI 0.55, 0.82). Using the telephone and preparing meals showed poor agreement. There was substantial negative correlation for self-administering medications (κ=-0.66; 95%CI -0.81, -0.52).
CONCLUSIONS: Well-chosen proxies are reliable for assessing the most easily observed components of functional status among older adults who survive to one month post-ICU discharge.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Ability to use proxy respondents to assess components of functional status and frailty at ICU admission may inform prognosis post-ICU. Further research will assess whether the current analysis can be extrapolated to the time of ICU admission.

PSG's Development Team has been working hard on a new retail building to be located at Hwy 36 and Wegge Road in Burlington. Preleasing is well underway and we expect to breakground in this spring.
While much of the of the retail building is preleased, additional space is available. Plans include a second building (single or multi-tenant) adjacent to the first building. Anyone interested in space at this location can call our office at 262-758-6064.
As this project received site plan approval earlier this month, local news sources have taken interest in this exciting new project.
The end of 2015 saw the completion of two beautiful bridges that span the White River in the White River County Park in Walworth County. The funds for the bridges were provided by three Walworth County families through their family foundations. PSG was engaged as their representative to oversee the project and maximize the impact of their generous gift. This included coordinating efforts with Walworth County, the Geneva Lake Conservancy, and the Friends of the White River County Park. Following initial contact by the donors to Peter Scherrer, PSG conducted a design-bid process, investigated existing similar installations, structured the funding mechanism, processed purchase orders, facilitated DNR approval, and monitored the construction process.
In 2009, the two of us started our own company, The Peter Scherrer Group, as a firm "Rooted in Tradition and Reaching New Heights". We intently structured it to be adaptable to our clients' needs as we leveraged our skills to deliver a professional and unique experience to our clients.
PSG is proud to be included in the 2015 edition of Wisconsin Constructor Magazine. In the feature, "Rooted In Tradition, Reaching New Heights," we touch on what it means to us to bring an optimal approach to our business. We also had the incredible opportunity to discuss what it has been like to achieve over 50 years of combined industry experience and work together as a father and daughter ownership team. Additionally, some of our most recent and prominent projects are highlighted along with photos and comments from our community and client partners.
Representatives from the Burlington High School ACE Academy participated in the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA) Conference at the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee on March 26th and 27th. BHS ACE Coordinator, Peter Leedle, was joined by students Jacob Gardner, Nathan Larson and Alex Dunn to exhibit at the conference and communicate the success story of the program at Burlington Area High School.
At The Peter Scherrer Group, we are very excited about Walworth County's recent acquisition of 195 acres of land to become White River Park. In addition to the picturesque terrain, rolling hills, river and trails, the property includes a beautiful historic barn. TPSG has been retained by Walworth County to complete a facilities study on the barn. We are thrilled to be involved in this exciting project and a part of making this historic building a place that the public can visit and enjoy.

The College of Business and Economics of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater held its annual Ethics Week this past week. The program was developed by Dr. K. Praveen Parboteeah a Professor of International Management. Parboteeah's research interests include ethics and innovation management. He has been investigating business ethics issues and their relationships with critical organizational outcomes. Equipping the next generation to be truly successful includes addressing ethical considerations. To quote Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop: "Being good is good business".
As we start to feel the cooler weather and shorter days of fall, we are remembering our summer fondly. This summer the Peter Scherrer Group was proud to sponsor a private party for 16 on Pine Lake to benefit the counseling program of Children's Service Society of Wisconsin. For a second year in a row, a generous group of individuals purchased the party with a donation to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.

EmpowerHR/Pay and EmpowerTime are two programs from Empower Software that provide cost-effective, customizable, and comprehensive solutions to businesses looking for a simple way to organize and monitor their employees.
EmpowerHR/Pay is an all-inclusive solution that unifies core human resources functionalities, benefits management, and payroll processing into one easy-to-use system. Users can easily create data-rich reports, complete with audit histories of past, present, and future data points, and detailed personnel records can be generated for any number of employees within customizable effective dates. The program easily scales to meet the growing needs of expanding businesses, and the system can maintain multiple tax and pay entities with no limit on pay rates, deductions, and earning levels.
EmpowerTime helps streamline employee work and attendance transactions via its Exception Management feature, which identifies items that require administrative action and provides sorted lists of each employee and their current hours, overtime expenses, and exception information. Complicated union policies and work rules are easily managed within the program as everything from meals and breaks to holidays and shift premiums are recorded automatically.
We particularly like EmpowerTime's sophisticated Calculation Engine, which allows users to input an unlimited number of pay rule types and combine scenarios to give their employees a clear understanding of their company's time and attendance rules and how they apply to a variety of situations.
EmpowerHR/Pay and EmpowerTime are available in both on-premise and cloud-based formats and are best suited to mid-market companies that have between 150 and 1,500 employees. The programs work well in several different market segments, including retail, healthcare, education, and non-profits.

Director: R. Balakrishnan
Music: Ilaiyaraja
Paa is a beautiful contemporary tale of human relationships, how easily they can be broken mended healed renewed refreshed cherished and adored. The movie quite simply in a span of 2 and a half hours shows the two faces of relationships. One- how simple they are to form and break. Two- how difficult it is to fulfill or maintain them.
We basically see the movie through the eyes of Auro (Amitabh Bachchan), a twelve year old kid, who suffers from a rare genetic disorder called Progeria. Auro is like typical twelve year old, with his own share of tantrums but a striking streak of understanding in him. He is raised by his single mum Vidhya (Vidya Balan) who is a gynecologist, and his grandmother (Arundhati Nag) who he naughtily calls 'Bum'. Fate being such an unpredictable thing reunites Auro and his father MP Amol Atre(Abhishek Bachchan), through a school competition.
The movie will surprise you in a superb manner. Right from unexpected turns to witty one-liners like- 'Google se bachke kahan jaoge?' What's fresh about this movie is the way the characters approach problems that seem insurmountable so coolly. The way Bum handles the news of her daughter getting pregnant out of wedlock and the way Amol handles the media over news of his lovechild is an example.
There are few places that you'd wish you did not have to see. Like the one where Amol and his father discuss shit while having tea and biscuits. And the other where Auro describes how the potty of the whole world goes inside your body if you eat fish. Yupp. Seafood lovers beware. You might end up wanting to puke!
The picturization of songs are beautiful and actually adds sense to the story. For example, Ittefaq se beautifully portrays the journey of Vidhya from being 'so-in-love' with Amol to the twin pack pregnancy kit.
Big B has done complete justice to the role of Auro. Although at times you can see through Auro and into Amitabh, for the major part, Auro keeps you so engaged that you forget that's Amitabh Bachchan playing that role! As Auro, he takes you through highs and lows, laughter and choky throat.
Vidya Balan once again has proved that she is the queen of effortless acting. She looks very Indian and very beautiful in her cotton saris. Even in her western wear she is fine, except that her strut was a tad bit gawky as if she wasn't confident about her high heels.
Abhishek Bachchan is squeaky clean and good-looking. He is compelling. But he still hasn't reached the point where he can stir up your emotions.
Paresh Rawal is good as ex-politician Atre. When he makes a fool out of himself while talking for the first time ever to his grandson, his expression is worth looking at!
Arundhati Nag is perfect as Vidya's onscreen mother. She has the same effortless style as Vidya that makes her endearing.
Ilaiyaraja's music is soothing and at times teases and tickles you. R. Balki's direction is first-class. Hats off to make-up artists Christien Tinsley and Dominie Till.
Paa is a film that will make you laugh and cry when you're inside the theatre. But when you come out, you'll be surprised you have a self contented smile on your face!

When we get outside, I notice that it became much colder over this short period of time. An unwanted shiver runs down my spine.
"Here," Jupiter says.
He holds out a big white box with a purple bow on top. My eyes widen in surprise as I open the box. I sigh at the elegant beauty before me. Inside the box is an elegant green coat; the same color as my dress.
"For me?" I ask. The coat looks really expensive.
"Of course," Jupiter says and pulls the coat out of its box. He then holds it up to put it on me.
After my arms enter the sleeves and the material touches my back and front, I don't feel cold anymore.
"You think of everything. Are you sure you're a guy?" I ask.
He laughs. "My mother taught me well."
"Alright, I can believe that," I tell him. He pulls me into his arms and starts walking with me at his side. "So where is the entrance to the fairy world?"
"I can use those trees to teleport to the entrance," Jupiter points at the trees located at the edge of the property.
"Hmm, alright," I reply and focus on those trees. I always love trees, but there is a nagging question that I need to ask. "Jupiter, many years has passed since our meeting. I know your mother thinks we need to be together…and I am not against it…I feel close to you. The moments that I got to spend with you during the ball were unbelievable, especially the revelations. But…"
"But, how do I feel about you? And am I forcing myself to like you because of our past?" Jupiter finishes it for me.
I blush at how he guessed it right. "Yes.
"You don't realize just how beautiful you are Melina," Jupiter says. "I sent you those gifts, and played music with you and I didn't know what to expect about today. When you stood on that stage, you looked comfortable and yet I could tell that you were mad at your uncle. I also saw that your dress, jewelry, your mask matched your personality perfectly…and at that moment I knew that I wanted to get to know you more. I wanted to learn about you, about who you became over the years. When you went in to protect your sister without second thoughts, I knew that I did not want to give you to anyone else. I want to get to know you more. I want to get to know my fierce lioness." Jupiter touches my cheek, his touch is hot. "I want us to have a future together."
I have no words. I have no idea how to find them. Before I can, he is kissing me. The kiss is of the forest. Not only do I taste his soft lips but I taste the magick of the fairy forest. I can get addicted to the taste. The next moment we are on the ground with him on top of me and my nails digging into his back as his lips leave mine and taste my skin. A moan escapes my lips from the pleasure of his flaming kisses. His hand travels up and down my left side as his lips claim mine once more. I pull him closer to me and roll him over with me now being on top.
I end the kiss and kiss his neck as my fingers get entangled in his. His smell is intoxicating, the forest is him, and it is attracting me like a firefly to flames. I lose myself in the moment, only to be rolled back down with looking to Jupiter's eyes. The hunger in his eyes sends shivers up and down my spine.
"If we continue," Jupiter says in a raspy voice. "I am not going to be able to contain myself."
"And what if I don't mind?" I ask. My body feels hot… everywhere. Is this the heat that Marcella feels when she wields fire?
"Then your sister will kill me," Jupiter says. His words break the mood.
"You know how to end a night," I laugh.
Jupiter smiles and kisses me gently. He gets up and pulls me up. "Believe me if I could, I would love you through the night."
I open my mouth to reply but he turns around and walks quickly through the trees. I breathe out and look up at the moon. "Yeah… Marcella wouldn't think twice about killing him."
I start walking back to the manor, feeling more depressed by seconds. Today felt like a fairytale, like a Cinderella finding her prince. Do I get this one magickal night…or will my fairytale continue? He promised me that it will…
On the way back, I glance at the pool… that same pool which took me to Jupiter. I materialize a swim suit on me, my dress and the rest lie on the chair. "Cooling down will do me good." I dive into the icy waters. After three laps, I get out of the pool and change my clothing back to my dress. I don't dry my hair; the wet hair is keeping my head sane. I continue on my way to the room.
By the time, I get back close to my room; my dreamy expression is back on my face. I don't want my sisters to feel like something is wrong. I mean nothing is wrong per say and Jupiter did say that he likes me on his own. And… we almost went all the way….
I know I am thinking too much and waiting for something to go wrong because life isn't perfect and Jupiter is way too perfect.
I listen in to my sisters. Both of them decided to wait for me in my room.
"What's happening tomorrow?" I stroll in.
"Marcella's mystery date!" Madelyn says excitedly.
I look to Marcella and notice a napkin in her hand. With one flick of hand, a vine grows from my palm of hand and grabs it.
"Give it back!" Marcella shouts.
"Let me read first," I tell her and move away met bangs to read the note. "Sounds like an expensive restaurant."
"It is," Madelyn says. "I've seen it while shopping for dress."
"I got it!" I shout and give back the napkin to Marcella. She opens her mouth but I glare at her to silence her. "Madelyn and I will dress up undercover and get a table close by to yours and if the guy is a creep, some sister magick will learn his place."
"I love it!" Madelyn says. "Hats and scarves and black coats!"
"Spider bite," Marcella curses.


text: Politics 17 January 2008 Healthy advice How should you dress when full of cold and flu? Sign up for our weekly email * There are two things I am so far enjoying, sartorially speaking, about January. One is that the cut of trousers this past autumn was so much more forgiving. I noticed this as I swapped the trousers of winter 2006 for those of 2007. Whereas, for the past 12 months, sitting down had exposed my lower back, now I can sit without having to hoick down my top. So waistbands have gone up slightly, which is good for muffin-tops. And the bit around the bottom/top of the thighs has got more generous, so the 2lb gained over Christmas, by eating apple crumble as if it were life-giving (I secretly think it might be), are not so noticeable. It is dangerous, I realise, to think you're slimmer than you really are; sometimes tight clothes serve a useful function, in that they remind you, by digging in rudely, that you need to eat less. But at the moment I take simple comfort from roomier-feeling trousers. The other thing I'm enjoying, immensely, is hearing that the fashion followers among the population will be wearing jumpsuits. Again. Just under five years ago, in this very organ, I wrote about how jumpsuits were supposedly fashionable (you can read it online; just type in "jumpsuits" if you're interested). No one wore them then and no one will wear them now, for the simple reason that they flatter very few people. I can't believe we're being offered them again. Really, only misguided people think jumpsuits have anything to offer anyone who doesn't have to crawl under a car for a living. Far more useful would be to offer seasonal advice on how to look good when you're so full of cold and flu that your skin is hypersensitive and your nose is red and chafed. But does anyone ever touch this? No. Get pregnant, be fat, be super-tall or super-short, and the fashion world helps you, however begrudgingly. But be ill, and you dress alone. Tip number one: when you are feverish it's best not to dress/undress too often, because doing so hurts. There's really nothing wrong with going to bed wearing the same clothes you wore during the day. For a day or four. Really, if you usually wash and launder regularly, your clothes can handle getting really dirty for once. Then, for perhaps the first time, you can follow the instructions on the back of the clothes-detergent bottle for "really tough soiling". Two: scarves hide many sins, including dried-up body fluids on the front of your top. They also hide warm but ugly thermal vests that would otherwise peek out. In Italy we have an old wives' tale which says that red scarves help you get over a chest infection or sore throat. Three: if you can face looking like a poser, wear sunglasses to hide those rheumy red eyes. Four: Dr Greenfingers has a lovely balm, aptly called Winter Cheek and Nose Soother, that indeed does soothe noses that have been blown a hundred times in one day. Finally, five: elasticated waists were made for: a) Christmas and b) times of sickness. Be not ashamed to don them. Just remember to ditch them as soon as you get well.

Slowly, and almost indiscernibly, the taboos of my youth are being shed. The other day I caught myself thinking about attaching some sort of strap to my reading glasses.
The idea was that I could then wear them round my neck when not in use. What the hell was I thinking? Five years ago that would have been akin to me deciding to wander around Notting Hill with a sandwich-board proclaiming: "I love to kick kittens". Now I find myself thinking about growing my own vegetables and exploring the beard trimmer aisle in the pharmacy.
There is no question about it – I need a new mission, something to slow the wheel of Time's winged chariot for a second or two. So I am busy planning the subject of my new travel book and there is nothing like poring over maps and dreaming of great adventure to get the blood flowing again.
A good travel book needs some kind of theme – that's what my publishers tell me, anyway. They want something that's easy to "get," something that grabs your attention among the veritable ocean of books released every week. My first, The Dark Tourist, was me "holidaying in hell"– vacationing in places such as North Korea, Chernobyl and Iran.
My second book saw me hunting monsters, including the Yeti and Bigfoot, in far-flung corners of the globe. Now I need a third purpose in life. Maybe I should find an Olympian and row naked across the Atlantic, like Ben Fogle? Not really my bag to be honest – too much like hard work. I could always find some new way to reach the South Pole? It seems to have been done on foot, by car, on skis, by sled, plane, Space Hopper (I made the last one up but I'm sure it won't be long). How about climbing Everest? So many people seem to do this now that the biggest risk is road rage as you stand in long queue of rich South Koreans and Americans waiting to cross a crevasse. Michael Palin had this problem when he ran out of proper adventures and ended up doing the rather dubiously named Pacific rim.
Maybe I should think out of the box? Why travel the world doing pointlessly exotic things? I live in an area of "outstanding natural beauty" and yet I spend all my time buggering off somewhere else. I should write about what I know: "Dom Joly's Guide to the Cotswolds". I can already picture it – me loaded down with Ordnance Survey maps and a sturdy pair of hiking boots, venturing where nobody but several million elderly ramblers have ventured before. I need a hook though, something to make it stand out. Tony Hawks walked around Ireland with a fridge. I know this and yet I've never read the book so have no idea why he did it.
"People like animals," my publisher always says. Why don't I call my book "Walking the Cotswolds With My Dog?" It doesn't really jump off the page, does it? My dog Huxley is getting a little elderly, though. How about if I carried him round the Cotswolds in a rucksack? That would work. I'll be on The One Show in seconds. Must go: off shopping for some sensible hiking equipment.

WorldCitizen- Working All Night
"You didn't even start your paper!?"
Feeling like someone in mourning, my head shook a weak 'no.'
"Let me guess, you want to work all night?"
I gave a tired smile, "Yep." At this rate though, I wouldn't last. It was only 22:30 and already my eyes begged for relief, not to mention my sluggish brain. I got time...
Minutes ticked by slowly; my word count increased at an even slower pace.
04:23; 1,967 words.
Yawning, I let my head fall on my desk. Good enough.

Elementary Principals' Survey Finds Slim Support for Standards, Inclusion
San Diego
Nearly two-thirds of elementary and middle school principals believe national subject-matter standards will not improve American education, according to a recent poll.
"The standards movement has gone astray," said Samuel G. Sava, the executive director of the National Association of Elementary School Principals, which released the results on the eve of its annual convention here last week.~~
The findings come from an informal survey of the group's 26,000 members on a variety of education issues, which drew 1,139 responses.
Mr. Sava said many elementary educators initially welcomed the notion of national benchmarks for what students should know and be able to do. "I think we were impressed when the standards on math came out," he said.
But the voluntary standards proposed for all the disciplines do not account for the limited amount of time in the school day, he added. "Our children will need to stay in elementary school until they're 18 to learn and do what's planned for them."
The elementary administrators' indictment of the centerpiece of school reform nationwide follows similar criticism by the nation's secondary school principals at their annual meeting in February. It also underscores what many observers see as a loss of momentum for the national-standards movements. (See Education Week, 2/15/95 and related story.)
Several principals interviewed here last week said they did not like the "top down" nature of national standards.
"The standards themselves may be honorable," said Patty Toombs, the principal of South Whidbey Intermediate School in Langley, Wash. "But they may not reflect the community that you're serving."
Inclusion Criticized
The survey respondents also gave low marks to the concept of full inclusion of students with disabilities in regular classrooms. Seven out of 10 said they did not believe schools should assign all children to such classrooms regardless of their disabilities.
"The great majority of disabled youngsters benefit socially, psychologically, and academically from joining their peers in regular classrooms," Mr. Sava said.
"But the concept of inclusion has been pushed to such extremes," he continued, "that it's robbing nonhandicapped children of their right to learn, while depriving handicapped children of the specialized teaching they need to achieve their highest potential."
He added that many school systems are spending tens of millions of dollars on classroom teachers and aides, tuition at private schools, and lawyers' fees to comply with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The federal law guarantees students with disabilities the right to a public education and requires that students be taught in the "least restrictive environment" possible.
Other Highlights
On other issues, principals who responded to the survey strongly supported values education, parental involvement, and strict discipline. (See related story.)
Other speakers here encouraged school heads to wade carefully through the nation's frenetic school-reform activity.
Ernest L. Boyer, the president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, unveiled a(See education. Mr. Boyer said "The Basic School" model pools effective practices into one plan. (See related story

Tips for Traveling to Ireland and UK
To summarize a few travel tips we learned from our experience in Ireland and UK: The weather can be cold, we visited in September and it was colder than we expected. Pack layers, I brought some heavy sweaters but I wish I would have packed my lightweight parka. I also had gloves and ear warmers which were helpful for our boat trip to Michael Skellig and for walking at night. Definitely bring a rain jacket and an umbrella, it will rain. Trench coats are popular ...
Fish and Chips, Haggis, and Black-pudding...Oh My!
... further, the pound is just too expensive. The meal from start to finish was excellent including the wine, you have to do this at least once on vacation:-) Honestly I enjoyed the food and we never had a bad meal, they have perfected even the hearty meals with excellent ingredients and flavors. The experience you have in regards to meals is completely up to you. I don't usually take this many photos of my food but I think this is a good documentation of our ...
The long drive for a short distance
Ty and I got home after baseball at 1 am Tucson time.. Isaac is soon getting up and headed over to load 20 min away at 5 am Michigan time.. But there is a catch; gps on his end goes down, truck won't move in drive, no coffee, no food; dads not a happy camper...it is now apparent that mom shouldn't be either.. Lol,. From ...
Rain jacket...check...or should I say Mac check...
... pretty moderate for most of the year, Ireland averages a temp of 50 degrees with winters sticking around 40 degrees. England is much of the same average temp is 60 degrees, summers reach near 70 and winters stay about 40. Scotland further north into the Highlands can see winter temps near freezing.
Since we will be traveling for two weeks and moving around a lot, we are packing about a weeks worth of clothes and will have our laundry ...
Planning a trip to Ireland and UK
... to fly in and out of the same location or book a multi-city flight. This decision can impact the price of your flight by $200-$300, but if you have limited time it may be worth it. Given the time we had and what we wanted to see we opted to arrive in Dublin and depart from London at the end of our stay. One tip a friend gave us is to avoid London Heathrow for in-country flights if possible as it is a big airport and not worth the ...

Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA
Healthcare providers regularly use verbal pain scales to assess Emergency Department (ED) patients with acute chest pain; however, the efficacy of displaying pain scales has not been assessed. This study evaluated whether display of pain scores facilitates physician monitoring of ED patients' chest pain.
A randomized, prospective convenience-sample study of 49 adult ED patients presenting with chest pain to an urban Level 1 Trauma center (annual census 70,000) was undertaken. Chest pain levels were assessed every five minutes for one hour using a verbal numeric scale. Pain scores were not displayed for the Control group (n=17). Pain scales were displayed at the bedside only in the Bedside group (n=16), and at both the bedside and a central ED workstation in the Bedside/Central group (n=16). At the conclusion of the one-hour monitoring period, physicians were surveyed as to the usefulness of the pain displays.
Almost two-thirds (62.5%) of physicians caring for patients in the Bedside and Bedside/Central groups found the pain display provided useful information about their patient's pain. Bedside/Central group physicians were nearly twice as likely as those in the Bedside group (81.3% versus 43.8%) to indicate that the pain display provided useful information about their patient's pain (OR 5.6, 95% CI 1.1-27.5, p = 0.03). They were also more likely to indicate that the pain display made it easier to track their patient's pain (OR 5.6, 95% CI 1.1-27.5, p = 0.03).
Chest pain displays facilitate physician monitoring of chest pain in the acute care section of the ED. Physicians benefit the most from pain displays present both at the bedside and at a central workstation.
Improving the assessment of acute chest pain will optimize patient care, especially treatment of time-sensitive cardiac disease. Future studies are needed to evaluate whether the display of pain scales in a continuous fashion, such as on a cardiac monitor alongside heart rate and blood pressure, will improve outcomes.
