Well I look at this way. I'm pretty good with a pistol but for My better half EHHHHHHH. I showed her 4 things.
1.) Where the charging handle is.
2.) how to put a 30 round mag in a AR
3.) how to smack the side of the gun to make the bolt go foward.
4.) How read the switch that says Safe and change it to fire.
She has a CTC laser grips on the gun that comes on when she squeezes the grip. She also has 30 chances to pull the trigger, and the gun dosn't recoil as much as a pistol.
Plus for me I try not and bring a handgun to gun fight. Overpower, Control, Dominate the situation, and continue to take in Oxygen for the following day is what I have to have happen.

Spinal Decompression Therapy for Calgary Residents
If you're like most patients in the NW Calgary community we see today, you've suffered from back, hip, leg or neck pain for far too long–maybe decades. You may have tried virtually everything–bed rest, over-the-counter medications, prescription pain killers, physiotherapy, injections, acupuncture, traction and maybe chiropractic or even surgery. So far, nothing has worked. You're still in pain.
No Drugs – No Surgery
Fact is, most back and neck pain is caused by herniated discs, bulging discs or degenerative discs. This leads to sciatica, back pain, leg cramps, neck pain, arm pain, and a host of other symptoms. The problem has always been finding a way to treat discs without doing something invasive like surgery. Prior to spinal decompression therapy there wasn't a step between treatments like chiropractic, physical therapy, other non-invasive options and surgery. Now there is.
Disc Degeneration
Unlike other structures in your body, discs don't have a very good blood supply, so once they're damaged they don't heal very well. A spinal disc gets its nutrition from the bones above and below it through a pumping motion that increases with movement. But once a disc is damaged or torn, it loses its ability to maintain hydration and becomes dry and brittle. This leads to further damage, inflammation, degeneration and more pain.
Healing a Disc
Spinal Decompression enables the doctor to gently, precisely and safely put tension (facilitated by a computer and monitoring device) on the lower back or neck and create a negative pressure inside the disc. This negative pressure creates a vacuum effect that may actually draw the bulging or "slipped" material back into the center of the disc. It can also draws fluids into the disc (known as imbibition), allowing it to rehydrate as much as possible and heal.
Unlike other back and neck pain treatments spinal decompression therapy is directed at promoting the maximum possiblehealing to spinal discs. Most other treatments like medication and injections only cover up the pain until it wears off or you aggravate it again. Not "spinal decompression". In a recent study done on previous spinal decompression patients four years after their treatment, researchers found that over 91% continued to be pain free.
How Does Negative Pressure Help a Disc Herniation?
During spinal decompression therapy, negative pressure is created within the disc. Because of this negative pressure, disc material that is "herniated", bulging or protruded can be drawn back into the normal confines of the disc, increasing fluid levels and nutrition to the disc, improving healing and reducing or completely relieving pain.
What Conditions can be Effectively Treated with Spinal Decompression?
- Neck or Low Back Pain caused by Herniated, Protruding or Bulging Discs
- Spinal Stenosis
- Sciatica
- Radiculopathy (pinched nerves)
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Facet Syndrome
- Leg pain, numbness or cramping
- Arm pain or numbness
Call our NW Calgary chiropractic office today and mention our website and receive a no fee consultation to determine the likelihood of spinal decompression being effective in your case.

Just because the Indians did not offer contracts to Anthony Reyes and Adam Miller didn't mean the club was ready to jettison the pitchers. [ep
So one day after non-tendering both players, the Tribe signed each to a minor-league contract, with Reyes' deal including an invitation to major league spring training camp. [ep
Reyes is recovering from right elbow reconstruction surgery performed last June. He began the 2009 season in Cleveland's rotation before being shut down. He is not expected to return to the active roster until at least the All-Star Game break. [ep
Miller has endured a series of operations on his right middle finger, putting his career in jeopardy. Last month, he underwent his third surgery of the year. It is not known when or if he will pitch again, despite being one of the top prospects in the Tribe farm system. [ep
Right-handed reliever Jose Veras also was non-tendered over the weekend but has not been re-signed. [ep

Munich to Nice via Lauterbrunnen, Montreux, Annecy, and Provence
Hello. I have been brainstorming my route for next year, 3rd ED, but need advise from the Swiss roads veterans in here. For a little background, I am travelling with my wife, 13 y/o son and 10 y/o daughter, picking up an M5 on JUNE 21. I am looking for smaller towns and deliberately avoiding bigger cities, and will be spending my last week in St Remy, have 8 days from pickup to make it there. I have read to avoid Zurich, went to Luzern and would think I want to avoid that area (and the traffic) as well. Therefore have targeted Appenzell, Lauterbrunnen, Montreux (or a better town to stay the night), and Annecy before getting to Provence, and need help in deciding what route to take. I am not averse to mountain passes, but do not understand them yet, where they are, which ones to use, which to avoid. These are options I have come with when crafting that Munich to Annecy plan (the rest I have figured it out). This is not set in stone, and I would greatly appreciate any feedback:
Option 1: The default Google Maps route, my concern is that it goes to close to Zurich:
Option 2: Via A53 trying to avoid Zurich, not Luzern:
Option 3: longer, but tries to avoid Luzern and Zurich, Via Wasserfluhstrasse/Route 8, Hauptstrasse/Route 8, Sustenstrasse/Route 11:

Over the past several months, I've had conversations with a lot of technology vendors about "overcoming sales training challenges." While all of the people I talked to fall into the Sales Enablement function, (meaning they come from product groups, marketing groups, and sales groups and are working to support the conversations that salespeople have) only 2 of those people were actually from within the sales training function at their company. In other words, there seems to be a lot of concern about sales training and a lot of work going on in the name of sales training but the discussion is happening outside the sales training group!
This finding led me to ask, "Is sales training strategic or tactical?" over on LinkedIn [check out some of the answers]. Taking a step back and looking through those answers in light of the conversations I've been having, I found an interesting pattern emerging.
Most of the people involved in sales training initiatives have a specific view on the role, scope, and value of sales training. This view biases the ways these people approach solving these sales training challenges or leverage training for solving the sales challenges their organizations face. At a macro level, these differing views, or paradigms, can be broken down into two camps which are often in direct conflict with one another. These competing mindsets can end up pulling in opposite directions, creating a sales training stalemate with noting really being solved and lots of money being wasted.
Here are a few examples of these different, often competing views:
1. Regarding the Scope of Sales Training
Posted by Dean Davison on August 8, 2011
During the first week in August, Forrester launched the Battle Card Standards Group to address head on the challenges and opportunities that they face in creating competitive battle cards for sales teams. This group is meeting weekly to outline industry standards to help sales enablement professionals bridge the gap between what a myriad of groups create and what sales reps actually need to win in competitive deals.
Some challenges mentioned by participants include:
"Sales reps often ask for negative information about competitors - FUD (fear, uncertainty, or doubt) – but, customers usually react negatively when reps say derogatory things about competitors."
"We struggle to map our battle cards to (1) different selling situations or engagement models (transactional vs. consultative) and (2) the levels of stakeholders that we are addressing (influencers, decision-makers, or purchasing professionals)."
"We structure battle cards in a way that reps can use directly in their conversations with customers."
As a next step, on August 9, 2011, I will be hosting a Forrester teleconference to address how:
1. Organizational silos result in battle cards that are mashups of product and competitive intelligence rather than assets that help improve win rates in competitive deals.
2. Gaps between battle card users (sales reps) and creators (corporate groups) are too wide to remedy by having sales "tell corporate what they need."
3. Industry standards for battle cards become a common ground for creators and users of battle cards to line up their expectations and delivery.

Language Bankcontrasthighlighting differences This survey highlights a number of differences in the way that teenage boys and girls in the U.S. spend their free time. One of the main differences between the girls and the boys who took part in the research was the way in which they use the Internet. Unlike the girls, who use the Internet mainly to keep in touch with friends, the boys questioned in this survey tend to use the Internet for playing computer games. The girls differ from the boys in that they tend to spend more time keeping in touch with friends on the telephone or on social networking websites. Compared with the boys, the girls spend much more time chatting to friends on the telephone. On average, the girls spend four hours a week chatting to friends on the phone. In contrast, very few of the boys spend more than five minutes a day talking to their friends in this way. The boys prefer competitive sports and computer games, whereas/while the girls seem to enjoy more cooperative activities, such as shopping with friends. When the girls go shopping, they mainly buy clothes and cosmetics. The boys, on the other hand, tend to purchase computer games or gadgets.

With much speculation that David Lowery's Sundance crimer Ain't Them Bodies Saints would sneak into a top spot at Cannes, there were a few raised eyebrows when the film was absent from the announcement last week. Never fear Riveiera-goers, the Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara starrer, which has been continually compared to Terrence Malick, will indeed be at the Cannes film fest, though it will be playing at La Semaine de la Critique, aka the Critics' Week sidebar.
Sometimes thought of as the Next section of Cannes, the Critics' Week program often highlights films by first and second time directors. Other notable films include Canadian director Sébastien Pilote's second feature Le Démantèlement, British director Paul Wright's For Those in Peril, and the opening night film, Katell Quillévéré's Suzanne. The full list follows:
Katell Quillevere - Suzanne (France)
Yann Gonzalez - Les Rencontres d'après minuit (France)
David Lowery - Ain't Them Bodies Saints (U.S.)
Paul Wright - For Those in Peril (U.K.)
Sebastien Pilote - Le Demantelement (Canada)
Agustin Toscano,Ezequiel Radusky - Los Duenos (Argentina)
David Perrault - Nos heros sont morts ce soir (France)

Synthetic peptide conjugated to KLH derived from within residues 150 - 250 of Mouse ICAM1.
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab124759 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
|Use a concentration of 1 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 99 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 58 kDa).
|Use a concentration of 5 µg/ml. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9.0 before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
The predicted molecular weight of ICAM1 is 58 kDa (SwissProt), however we expect to observe a banding pattern around 100 kDa. This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 5% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab124759 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution.

Umatilla Co. Sheriff's Office Search & Rescue Locate Three Overdue Fishermen
Yesterday afternoon, 27-year-old Christopher Wineland of Pilot Rock, 28-year-old Steven Sunman and 26-year-old Kyle Miller, both from Pendleton left Pilot Rock in Wineland's vehicle to go fishing in the Ukiah area. Wineland told his girlfriend they would return that evening. At about 2:30am, after they did not return, Wineland's girlfriend contacted the Umatilla County Sheriff's Office. She reported that the men were overdue and requested assistance.
UCSO Search and Rescue units responded and located Wineland's unoccupied vehicle, which was high-centered on the shoulder of Pearson Creek Road, approximately 5 miles south of the intersection with East Birch Creek Road. A short time later, SAR personnel located all three individuals in good shape on Pearson Creek Road.
Wineland reported that they became stuck at about 10 pm last night. He said he and his companions walked approximately five miles to a location where they spent the night. They resumed walking this morning, and were met by SAR personnel.

Originally written on Start 'N' Park Blog | Last updated 11/9/14
On the heels of his first career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory at Talladega Superspeedway two weeks ago, Parker Kligerman travels to Martinsville Speedway this Saturday with his No. 7 Red Horse Racing Toyota team for the Kroger 200. Entering the Virginia short track as the most recent series winner, Kligerman will have a little extra momentum on his side. "I've always considered myself to be 100% focused no matter what, but anytime you can go out there and win and walk into the race track the next week as the most recent winner, it always gives you a little more pep in your step and a little more confidence. I think going in there with that and the confidence I have in these Toyota Tundras, I think there's no reason we can't go there and run up front, challenge for the victory and gain points on our championship rivals," Kligerman explained. Kligerman's most recent appearance at Martinsville Speedway earlier this season produced his best finish at the track to date, as he was scored in 11th place when he crossed the finish line. Though his finishes don't show for it, Kligerman reports he is happy with his previous performances and is optimistic about this weekend's events. "I'm looking forward to Martinsville; I've always had a great time there even though I haven't had the finishes to show for it. I've always had the speed and ran well there, so with the success I've had at Red Horse and these Toyota Tundras, I'm sure we can improve on that this weekend." Home State Crew: Mark Schmuck, lead mechanic and fuel man for the No. 7 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra team for driver Parker Kligerman, has been a part of Red Horse Racing since the summer of 2009. A Virginia Beach, Virginia native, Schmuck began his career in motorsports racing at Langley Speedway, and worked with former NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Mike McGlaughlin. Previous Race Recap: NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start number 300 for Red Horse Racing was the charm for driver Parker Kligerman and the No. 7 Toyota Tundra team at Talladega Superspeedway on Saturday, October 6, 2012. Rebounding from an unscheduled pit stop to replace a faulty battery with less than 20 laps to go, Kligerman made a power move to charge back to the front with just a few short laps remaining to capture his first career series win in the fred's 250 powered by Coca-Cola. Chassis History: Parker Kligerman will pilot Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra chassis 002 at Martinsville Speedway on Saturday. This specific chassis was built in-house for short track racing and made its last appearance with Kligerman's teammate Todd Bodine at Iowa Speedway, where Bodine claimed a third place finish. Describe your racing experiences at Martinsville. "Martinsville is definitely a track that brings us back to the old days of NASCAR; lots of beating, banging and leaning on each other. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series always puts on a good race there and I enjoy going there because of that. It's a place that really puts emphasis on the driver and the team to find a truck that can turn in the center really well, while having the drive off the corner." Do you think Martinsville is one of the best places for fans to watch NASCAR? "The great thing about NASCAR is that you race at all different types of tracks and every place has something a little different to offer. I think the old fashioned, beating and banging short track racing that happens at Martinsville is the kind of racing that a lot of our fans look forward to, both young and old. I know as drivers we look forward to it, getting some aggression out every once in a while. So overall, I think it's a great place for drivers, fans and teams."

Kai Ryssdal: Wall Street kicked October out the door today with a relatively mild send off -- a 144-point gain on the Dow. Not much, given how topsy-turvy the blue chips have been over the past 30 days and a happier ending than the rest of the month might actually deserve.
To talk about the week and month that was, we've invited back Diana Henriques of the New York Times and Andy Brooks. He's the chief trader at T. Rowe Price in Baltimore, Md.
Hello to you both.
Diana Henriques: Hi there!
Andy Brooks: Hi there Kai.
Ryssdal: All right Andy, we start with you. You're the trader amongst us and I want to ask you about volatility, about this crazy up and down and insane late hours in the trading day, and what really we should take away from that?
Brooks: Well, it's really unfortunate. Heightened volatility causes just a lot of anxiety for investors and it makes people nervous. This thing that's been happening in the last hour of the trading day for the last couple of weeks, what's that all about? There's something called the VIX, which is a volatility index and, when it was trading at 70, which it was a couple of days ago, it would have expressed the expectation that the markets could move 20 percent within the next 30 days, and that's just a huge number.
Ryssdal: Diana, if volatility is not necessarily a great thing, what are the good signs in the market these days?
Henriques: Well, I think we can all take some comfort from the fact that the money market fund industry, which has been so battered back in September, does seem to be getting it's legs under itself again. If you look at the total amount invested in all kinds of money market funds, it's actually back up above the levels it was at before this great panic hit in mid-September. So I think that's certainly a good sign despite all the volatility.
Ryssdal: What about these things called Libor and the TED Spread, these measures of short-term credit in the economy. Are those getting better?
Henriques: They are getting better and we're actually seeing an increased volume in some of the issuance of short-term notes, which again is an indication that some high-quality businesses are able to go into that short-term market and finance their payroll needs and their needs for short-term cash in larger volumes than they had been able to do just six weeks ago.
Ryssdal: All right, so Andy, when are we going to see some of this credit market easing in the actual equities markets? I mean, it's been a decent couple of days, but when is it going to get serious?
Brooks: Yeah. That's a great question. I do think we're starting to see a period towards more normal behavior. One of the things that's challenging, though, is we're living in a world that expects instant gratification for everything, and this global-coordinated financial rescue package that's going on, it's going to take some time.
Ryssdal: Diana, let me ask you this question: You know, one of the things we say on this broadcast from time to time is that the stock market really is not the economy, because the Dow is 30 lousy companies and all that, what about the fact though that with so many people now in the stock markets and with credit and its crisis spreading now so deep into the economy, maybe now the stock market really is the economy? What do you think?
Henriques: Well that's an interesting theory and I can certainly see some support for it, Kai. If those two entities are being coupled, the link between them is consumer expectations. The shrinkage in home values, the uncertainties about jobs, all of that has to make people less willing to make the kind of, not necessarily leap of faith, but step of confidence. If you look back at the Great Depression, you had a whole generation of people who became so risk averse that it really stifled entrepreneurship in the country for several decades, and it resulted in simply not enough growth in their own assets and earnings to see them into retirement. It would really be terrible if that were to happen again.
Ryssdal: All right, well on that point, let me do a little gut-check before we let you guys go and get you back to the week that was -- the Fed came out and cut interest rates, the GDP number came out the other day and not so great, Diana Henriques, how you feeling?
Henriques: Well, it was a little good news, a little bad news joke there, wasn't it? I think I felt a little more comforted than worried.
Ryssdal: Andy?
Brooks: I'd say I feel better.
Ryssdal: Better, but not maybe, great?
Brooks: Well, I'd love to say that was the bottom, 10 days ago, and I'm all in, but you know, we've been tested and re-tested a few times, and this is a complicated global crisis that we're involved in, so I'm a little bit hesitant to say I'm not still a little nervous. But I think you have to start buying some stocks here and increase your exposure and increase your risk and of profile touch, because stock prices are down a whole bunch.
Ryssdal: All right, well we're going to save this tape and play it back for you in a couple of weeks. Andy Brooks from T. Rowe Price in Baltimore, Diana Henriques at the New York Times in New York City. Thank you both.
Brooks: You bet!
Henriques: You're welcome.

Hey guys, anyone looking for this?
Hey guys, anyone looking for this?
Now thats pretty!
That's great. Thanks Spidey
sweet ....$139 bucks?
Awesome find Spidey!
Dude..I worship you now..Thanks SOOOOO much bro!!!!
That'a a really sweet price. I got one of these puppies a while back and paid a crap load more for it than that!
If anyone's in the market for one, get it quick. I've seen them go for considerably more.
Nice find Spidey.
It's oh so tempting...
Si, do you think it'll fit with the new MLC blaster?
I got one of those awhile ago too.
The problem is what are people using for the rest of the gun? I still need the Webley so I can put together an ESB.
I should hope so, given that the MLC RotJ and ESB were built using the same piece (a W & S Stock) as a size reference. The stock on the MLC is moulded direct off the same piece.

Lonepigeon - see above
Is anyone else producing a Webley?
No offense, but I want either a real Webley or direct reproduction of one.
Also it would be handy is someone could replicate the lanyard ring so it would be possible to add the sling for the ESB.
Have you seen HS's replica bronze ones? I have one and must say that it's the next best thing to owning a real one IMHO
DL44 is correct...HS's bronze casting is hands down the best piece of work Ive seen in a long time. You WONT go wrong if you get one..
hey guys check this
heres no MPP for the barrel ???

text: PITTSBURGH, July 29, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Recent articles in the Harvard Business Review and New York Times have suggested that the onslaught of "Big Data" has created a new discipline they call data science and a need for specialized data scientists. They even claim that no universities are currently addressing this need with academic programs. Carnegie Mellon University's Joel B. Greenhouse dismisses that data science is a new field by pointing out that statisticians have been conducting collaborative research, designing studies, analyzing data and developing new statistical theory for massive amounts of data for decades. For example, CMU's Department of Statistics, has been making contributions in Big Data applications, such as genomics, astronomy and finance. Greenhouse, professor of statistics and director of the master's in statistical practice program, elaborates on how statistical thinking is the bedrock of data science in a new blog post for the American Statistical Association (ASA) in the Huffington Post. Greenhouse writes, "Although the problems of generating and managing massive amounts of data are relatively new, methods for analyzing and making sense of such data, what some would now like to call 'data science,' are quite old and the domain of statistical science." He continues, "Good statistical thinking requires a nontrivial understanding of the real-world problem and the population for whom the research question is relevant. It involves judgments such as those about the relevance and representativeness of the data, about whether the underlying model assumptions are valid for the data at hand and about causality and the role of confounding variables as possible alternative explanations for observed results. Finally, an essential component of good statistical thinking is the ability to interpret and communicate the results of a statistical analysis so nonstatisticians can understand the findings."

Residency Program
Rodney Diaz, M.D.
Assistant Professor / Residency Training Director
The residency training program in Otolaryngology head and neck surgery is five years in duration. Three applicants are selected to join the Otolaryngology program each year. Residents in the last year of residency service will serve as chief resident depending on the rotation.
The goal of our program is to train residents to become outstanding otolaryngology head and neck surgeons. This is accomplished through an intensive clinical experience, strong didactic lectures and a required research experience. It is the hope of the department that many of our residents will seek academic careers.
The clinical experience is very broad and demanding. In addition to the standard areas of otology, laryngology, rhinology, and head and neck surgery, our program includes experience in pediatric otolaryngology, mediastinal surgery, craniofacial surgery, facial trauma, surgery of the base of the skull, microvascular surgery, neuro-otology, and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. This is one of the few otolaryngology programs where residents are exposed to surgery for cleft lip and palate. We are not aware of another program offering a broader range of clinical experience.
Didactic lectures are presented in a variety of formats. Grand Rounds, with a guest lecturer, are held weekly. Each week special areas of interest within our specialty are covered in-depth. Didactic lectures cover the basics of otolaryngology head and neck surgery, dentistry, audiology, speech pathology, and head and neck radiology.
The department has a state-of-the-art temporal bone and endoscopic sinus surgery lab complete with stealth imaged guided equipment and microvascular equipment. Each year residents are given a 12-week evening course in temporal bone anatomy where they learn to perform the standard otologic surgeries. An annual course is provided in endoscopic sinus surgery. A microvascular surgery course is available through independent study.
Our department feels a strong research experience is an integral component to developing outstanding physicians and surgeons. The department has research laboratories on the Davis and Sacramento campuses. Residents are required to initiate and complete research projects under department guidance, although they may collaborate with investigators outside the department
The following is a brief overview of the expectations and responsibilities of residents in the Department of Otolaryngology. Comprehensive guidelines are issued to residents:
Responsibilities of Resident at Each Level
First Year Residents
First year residents complete five rotations in a variety of general surgery services as well as in Neurosurgery, Anesthesia, Emergency Medicine, Critical Care, Otolaryngology. Radiology/Pathology/Trauma and Pediatric ICU.
Second Year Resident
The second year resident takes night call in the hospital approximately every fourth day. During the on call time, the resident is responsible for inpatient consultations, emergency room consultations, calls from staff on hospital floors regarding our inpatients, from families or patients and referring physicians. S/he assists in any surgery occurring during that shift. S/he evaluates any patients for consultation and confers with a more senior resident, or faculty, for help in the assessment and decision-making procedure for treatment.
While in the clinic, s/he sees a variety of new and returning patients. These patients are discussed with a senior resident, fellow or a faculty member who helps in arriving at a treatment plan.
While in the operating room, under supervision, the resident performs such surgeries as tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, myringotomy with placement of ventilation tubes, and placement of mandibular and maxillary arch bars. Small facial lesions are excised and facial lacerations are sutured. When more advanced cases are in progress, the first year resident may assist or be delegated to help in the clinic.
During the second year, the resident begins to take the otolaryngology Home Study Course that consists of packets of articles followed by an examination graded by computer. Second year residents frequently present the history and physical examination at our Case Presentations and Tumor Conference. Presentations should be focused and limited.
Third Year Resident
The third year resident continues to take hospital night call every fourth day. While in clinic, s/he makes basic decisions independently and follows through with diagnostic testing or trials of conservative management. If any surgical intervention is considered, a faculty member must be consulted. The third year resident assists medical students in evaluating and managing selected patients.
Surgical procedures appropriate for the third year resident include open reduction of mandibular and zygomatic fractures, submandibular salivary gland excision, septoplasty, laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy, esophagoscopy and selected sinus procedures. S/he assists in more major procedures, presents cases at Case Presentations and Tumor Conference, and is expected to present details from the literature regarding the subject being discussed.
Fourth Year Resident
The fourth year resident takes backup call from home and helps supervise residents and students in the clinic. S/he has primary responsibility for the majority of the complex inpatients on the otolaryngology service. Surgical procedures include tympanoplasty, endoscopic sinus surgery, cleft palate repairs, tympanomastoidectomy, middle ear surgery, radical neck dissection, and septorhinoplasty. On his/her call nights, the fourth year resident comes in for any major problems and for all surgical procedures. The backup call resident is expected to help with in-house call responsibilities when the workload limits expedient care. When there is not a fifth year resident on the team, the fourth year resident serves as chief resident.
Fifth Year Resident
The fifth year resident is the chief resident in charge of his or her team. All complex clinic patients and emergency room consults are reviewed by the senior resident before presentation to faculty, if possible. The fourth year resident decides on a treatment protocol subject to confirmation by a faculty member. Surgical procedures include rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, cleft surgery, rhytidectomy, composite resection, laryngectomy, tympanomastoidectomy and middle ear surgery.
Research Responsibilities
Three to five months of research will be completed during the second half of the PGY 3 and the first half of the PGY 4 of the residency program. The research will typically be broken into two blocks, depending on the nature of the research project. Typically, only one resident will be on research at a time. The rotations must be coordinated between the residents.
Residents on research will be required to attend all teaching conferences on the Sacramento campus and will have a Tuesday morning clinic (follow-up patients only) immediately after the Tuesday morning educational conference. Research residents will be relieved of weekday call schedule throughout their research months.
PGY 2 residents will meet with the research committee in September. Prior to the meeting, residents should individually meet with the faculty about possible research topics. They will present their ideas to the research committee and will be given feedback. The residents are expected to explore research options and do background reading during a one week research rotation.
Each PGY 2 resident will submit a written proposal to the research committee on May 1st. In mid-May, the committee will meet with the PGY 2 residents to review the proposals and to work out any anticipated problems. If the resident wishes to pursue a research project outside of the department, a departmental faculty will be assigned to the resident at that time to act as an advisor and supervisor during the research months.
Between June and December of the PGY 3 year, residents are expected to make plans including submitting Resident Research Grants to the Academy (due date is January 15th, awards announced in March) and obtaining animal protocol approval. Animals and reagents must be ordered at least two months in advance of the starting date of the research project.
Research Presentations
All residents will present their research results at the annual UC Davis Resident Research Forum in June of each year. An award is given for best research project. PGY 2 residents are expected to present their research proposals.
Residents are strongly encouraged to participate in the annual Bay Area Resident Research Symposium held en June of each year. Approved expenses for research presentations at required national meetings are covered by the department.

Portugal soap maker still cleaning up 122 years on
By Shrikesh Laxmidas
FAJOZES, Portugal (Reuters Life!) - When Ferdinand Claus and Georges Schweder opened a soap factory in Portugal in 1887, they couldn't have dreamed their products would today be used by stars like Oprah Winfrey, Nicolas Cage and Kate Moss.
The German duo left Portugal due to the First World War, but when Achilles de Brito bought the company in 1918 and renamed it Ach Brito, he kept the Claus Porto label for the luxury soaps that have been a calling card throughout the company's history.
The role of history is visible at the factory in northern Portugal. Workers wrap soaps in colourful Art Deco packaging designed decades ago at the company, after each bar has been made through traditional, manual milling and drying processes.
The results are rich, fragrant and creamy soaps that fetch up to 15 euros ($18.86) a bar at luxury retail outfits such as Harrods, SAKS Fifth Avenue and Galeries Lafayette in Paris.
From the very start, the soaps became popular among European elites, with fashion houses like Chanel requesting custom-crested versions, a private label tradition that continues today with clients including Spain's Paradores historic hotels.
Oprah Winfrey called the soaps "a labor of love" which appeal to the senses and make great gifts.
"From our production methods to our graphics portfolio, we take inspiration from everything that has been done here, so that there is continuity," said Ach Brito's CEO Jose Fernandes.
Last month, the Ach Brito story took another turn when the company acquired Confianca, its main Iberian rival which, at the respectable age of 115, is a contemporary of its new owner. Continued...

The first iron-hulled steam ships made the journey to Australia in 1852. However, these early steamers, known as auxiliaries, still carried a full set of sails, as their inefficient engines and the lack of coaling ports en route to Australia prevented the use of the new steam technology over long distances.
Whilst speed was not initially improved by the introduction of steam, comfort and strength were. The change from traditional wooden hulled ships to iron hulls enabled steamships to be larger and stronger, with much greater space below the decks.
In the 1860s the more efficient compound steam engine, in which steam was expanded in successive cylinders, was introduced. This enabled ships to make the voyage to Australia entirely under steam power. However, it wasn't until the 1880s after the introduction of a government mail subsidy, that steam ships became profitable and began to carry the majority of immigrants. Less reliant on wind, they travelled at a constant speed and provided power for electric lighting, refrigeration and ventilation. Grand saloons were able to be provided for first class passengers, and small cabins instead of sleeping berths were provided in steerage class.

Brundage's latest assignment was at the helm of the Gwinnett Braves, who finished 62-82 on the season. The down year ended a streak of three straight winning seasons for Brundage with the G-Braves, during which he went 231-198 and led the team to a playoff spot in 2009.
As a player, Brundage was originally drafted by the Phillies in the fourth round of the 1986 Draft and spent two seasons in the Phillies minor league system, reaching as high as AA Reading. In December of 1987, Brundage was packaged with pitcher Mike Jackson and outfielder Glenn Wilson and traded to Seattle for outfielder Phil Bradley and pitcher Tim Fortugno.
Brundage spent 11 seasons in the Mariners minor league organization before retiring as a player following the 1994 season. Initially drafted as a first baseman and outfielder, Brundage found himself on the mound in emergency situations 17 times between 1988 and 1993, including making a start for AAA Calgary in 1993.
In his final season, Brundage pitched in 24 games in relief, going 1-4, 2.96 with three saves.
Brundage finished his playing career having never reached the majors. In 13 minor league seasons, he hit 16-261-.275/.383/.359 in just under 3,000 plate appearances. He also finished with a pitching line of 1-5, 3.83 in 41 minor league games.
