Ask the Experts
Is it wrong if I'm twelve and I know I'm bi
No, there's nothing wrong with knowing you're bi at any age. Lots of people know their sexual orientation from a very young age. Other people figure it out later, or identify as one thing when they're young and something else when they're older. All of that is normal, and totally okay. Read more about sexual orientation.

Telstra Corp has extended its broadband internet services to a small country town in South Australia.
The community of Loxton, on the Murray River, is the first rural town to have its telephone exchange upgraded to provide the high speed service after more than 200 local businesses signed up to Telstra's Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) Demand Registrar.
The nation's biggest telco launched the register last October when a quarter of Australians still did not have access to its ADSL broadband network.
Telstra's provision of services to rural and regional Australia are currently under the spotlight as the federal government prepares to try to sell its remaining 50.1 per cent stake in the telco.
Telstra Wholesale, Broadband and Media group managing director Bruce Akhurst said 7600 Australian had signed up to the register, and encouraged more communities to use it to confirm their interest in broadband.
Akhurst and federal Finance Minister Senator Nick Minchin were in Loxton yesterday to launch the upgrade of the exchange, which is scheduled to be completed by May 2004.
Chairwoman of Loxton Chamber of Commerce Jan Cass said there was a huge response from the business community in Loxton.
"There are a number of businesses in this town that don't just operate locally, but need to send large files across the state or nationally," she said.
"It will mean a big difference for business productivity if employees don't need to wait while their computers send or download large files."
The ADSL Demand Register is open to anyone who wants the service from Telstra or any other participating internet service provider (ISP) that provides broadband via the Telstra ADSL network.
Exchanges require an interest and subsequent confirmation of about 150 customers before enabling took place.

Tune in for sound headphone advice
Headphones perform a very simple role but which have no upper price limit - and there are plenty to choose from
For £15, you can get a pair of Sony headphones that will — forgive me if I'm getting too technical — transfer sound from the little hole thing in your iPod to your ears extremely competently.
If you don't care about headphones, and believe that an audiophile is someone who should not go within 100m of a nursery school, then that is probably all you need to know.
If you do care about headphones, however, then "extremely competent" probably won't do it. Should it be in-ear or over-ear? Noise cancelling or bass boost? And, of course, should it be styled by a rapper, or at least by someone employed by a rapper, and then sold at a breathtaking mark-up?
Headphones are one of those products,…

More than any other conservative commentator, Ann Coulter is the one that drives me to see red the most often. She is absolutely shameless in her rhetoric and continually engages in what can only be deemed as hate speech. This woman will justify the unjustifiable and engage in the most blatant racism – particularly if she currently has a book for sale. And no, her Black boyfriend does not automatically mean that she is not engaging in racism.
In the wake of the shootings in Connecticut, the U.S. has finally started talking seriously about gun control. This is a conversation which I believe is long over due. As a Canadian, I am all too aware that America's gun problem has begun to effect us, with their illegal weapons making their way across the border, despite our much tougher gun legislation laws. If America's gun culture were solely America's problem, perhaps it wouldn't concern me to the degree that it does.
Since the White House has begun to actively talk about new gun legislation, some Americans have lost their ever loving minds. We've heard everything from how guns keep people to safe, to the suggestion that guns are the only defense against an oppressive federal government. None of these suggestions are even remotely logical, especially when we look at the rate of gun death in countries like Australia, Great Briton and Canada. Clearly, more guns don't equal less violence.
Into a debate that is already inflamed with people being purposefully obtuse, Ann Coulter has decided to infuse racism.
"If you compare white populations, we have the same murder rate as Belgium," she said. "So perhaps it's not a gun problem, it is a demographic problem, which liberals are the ones who are pushing, pushing, pushing."
"Let's get more Colin Fergusons…Why are they coming in to begin with?" she said. (source)
Of course she would jump on Colin Ferguson, who killed six people and injured nineteen others on the Long Island Rail Road in Garden City, New York, on December 7, 1993. Ferguson is an easy target because he is a Black man and was born in Jamaica. It allows Coulter to suggest that gun violence is the fault of criminal people of colour and is of course, inspired by forces outside of the U.S. Gun violence Coulter posits is not a problem of peaceful, God fearing White folk, nope, it's the savage people of colour.
The problem with Coulter's thesis is that the recent mass shootings have all been committed by White men. In fact, the Connecticut shooting was the largest mass shooting in U.S. history. Even when clear evidence makes her faulty logic readily apparent, the ability and desire to engage in race baiting, was simply too rich for Coulter to ignore. There is a legitmate point to be made about gun violence in the inner cities and in fact, if White children in the suburbs were dying at the rate of people of colour, there would long ago have been a commission to investigate the problem and to work on a solution. Coulter does not have a problem with people of colour killing each other, she only has a problem with the idea that White people might lose access to their guns.
By talking about Colin Ferguson, Couler is reminding White gun activists that what they need to fear is violent people of colour. It is an attempt to shift the blame from violent, entitled White masculinity to people of colour. The fear of Black violence has long permeated American racial relations though clearly, Whiteness is the party which is the most guilty of violence. The Stand Your Ground laws have sought to institutionalize and legalize these acts of violence against people of colour. Even as mothers cry over coffins, it is the death of a class full of largely White school children which finally spurred some sort of federal action. None of this is to suggest that what happened in Sandy Hook was not absolutely horrific but to state unequivocally that some children are clearly worth more than others.
Like many, Coulter is unprepared to acknowledge the horror of White supremacy, or examine the violent, aggressive hyper White masculinity that it has fostered. Even as White males are committing violent crimes — or threatening to commit violent crimes — a bait and switch tactic is employed, simply because it can be relied upon to stir feelings of racial animosity and superiority, even as it serves to shift the conversation away from Whiteness.
Obviously, Coulter is speaking to a very specific demographic but even the most liberal anti-racist will not fail to hear her message. Much of racism today is coded and covert and even those who claim to be colour blind, or see themselves as anti-racist, have internalized negative messages about people of colour. It is much easier to continue to listen to these messages, than to pause and consider what they really mean, or who they really hurt. That is the scurrilous nature of this new form of coded racism. The very same people who may react in a negative matter to the N-word, will quite easily miss these coded messages for what they are. That is why in this day and age, it is even more important to think critically about the messages the media chooses to send.

Savings Plus: Transparent Proxy Voting Needed
I've previously written two posts on California's Savings Plus program and how one major contractor, Northern Trust has voted. (Part I & Part II) Below, I compare the votes of Northern Trust on proxy proposals with those recommended by the AFL-CIO. A similar exercise could be performed at any deferred compensation plan.
Shareholders have voting rights, usually one vote per share, to decide who will serve on the board and to advise on pay and other issues. Funds, such as CalPERS and the CalHR Savings Plus program, have a legal duty to ensure shares are voted in the best interest of program participants. Continue Reading →
Shareholder Proposal: Best Response is Not a Lawsuit
Amy L. Goodman and John F. Olson, both of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP posted Shareholder Proposal Developments During the 2014 Proxy Season on the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance and Financial Regulation yesterday. It included some good information and analysis but seemed a bit too much like the response to a shareholder proposal should be a lawsuit — an advertisement for Gibson Dunn to this, admittedly biased, eye.
David Bogoslaw, Editor of the Corporate Secretary sent out an email in response that was more balanced with regard to shareholder proposals and lawsuits. I was heading out to Ottawa yesterday, so only had time for a brief response. The following is my open email to Mr. Bogoslaw. Continue Reading →

Cisco: How Our Proxy Competition Would Work – The Short Version
After posting Cisco Systems: Prime Target For Proxy Advisor Competition, Cisco Systems: Proxy Proposal #5 – 11 Q&A, and Cisco Systems (CSCO): How I Voted – Proxy Score 56 I am still getting the most basic question from funds trying to determine how to vote. That's understandable. People lack the time necessary to analyze proxy issues. That's one of the reasons behind the proposal. More resources and more competition could make for better voting at Cisco for all shareowners.
I keep getting the same fundamental question. How would it work in practice? Here's what I tell them. Continue Reading →
Review: Directors' Duties and Shareholder Litigation in the Wake of the Financial Crisis
This timely book, edited by Joan Loughrey, brings together academics and practitioners to assess the efficacy of directors' duties, or lack thereof, regarding shareholder litigation in the wake of the financial crisis. Although primarily focused on the UK and the Companies Act of 2006, the part played by the US and its regulatory scheme is not ignored. Americans reading the book will benefit from a better understanding of the UK framework and how portions may or may not apply here.
For example, the UK Code of Corporate Governance makes boards responsible for determining the nature and extent of the risks that companies should undertake. Yet, even in the wake of extreme circumstances and huge financial losses, Continue Reading →

Unemployment has climbed for three straight months and is now at 9.2 percent. There's no precedent, in data going back to 1948, for such a high rate two years into what economists say is a recovery.
The economy added just 18,000 jobs in June. That's a fraction of the 90,000 jobs economists had expected and a sliver of the 300,000 jobs needed each month to shrink unemployment significantly.

Families targeted
Page Tools
Half a million families would get a 30 per cent tax break on child-care fees, and stay-at-home parents would be handed another $300 a year, in a $2.2 billion Coalition pitch to families.
A re-elected Howard government would also extend child-care benefits to thousands of "heroic" grandparents who take custody of children after family breakdowns.
Detailing the plan at his campaign launch in Brisbane yesterday, Prime Minister John Howard said the plan was proof of his "unshakeable belief that (the family) is the centre of the life of this nation".
Under the plan, more than 530,000 families claiming the means-tested Child Care Benefit would be able to recover 30 per cent of their out-of-pocket child-care costs. The Howard Government axed a similar rebate in 2000 as part of a shake-up of family benefits.

Passing a bad check is illegal in Washington D.C. People who write a check without the funds to back it up can face both criminal and civil consequences. If you've accidentally written a check that you realize is going to bounce or otherwise need to know what the bad check laws are in D.C., read on.
What is a Bad Check?
Washington D.C.'s laws define a bad check as a check that is written against a bank account that doesn't have the funds to back it up. In other words, if there is less money in your account than the check is worth, the check is bad.
Not all bad checks bounce, however, because banks often honor bad checks and then charge overdraft fees in addition to requiring customers to reimburse them for funds paid that weren't in the account. If a check does bounce, the customer isn't automatically arrested; there's a procedure banks and creditors follow.
What Happens If a Check Bounces
If a check bounces--that is, the bank doesn't honor it because there aren't enough funds in the account--the creditor who tried to cash the check has to send the debtor a certified letter informing him or her that the check bounced. The check writer then has five days to pay the creditor back before the creditor can take any further legal action. Usually, the debtor has to re-pay the creditor by certified check or visit the creditor in person to pay cash.
If the debtor does not repay the bounced check within five days of receiving notice that it bounced, the creditor has two options: pressing criminal charges or filing a civil lawsuit.
Criminal Charges for Bounced Checks
If the bad check was for $100 or greater, the check writer can be charged with a felony. Writing bad checks that are less than $100 are considered misdemeanors in the District of Columbia. In either case, bad check writers can be sentenced to jail time as well to fines and restitution. The consequences for writing bad checks in D.C. include:
1) Jail time of up to 180 days for a misdemeanor and between 1 to 3 years for a felony.
2) Fines of up to $1,000 for a misdemeanor and up to $3,000 for a felony
3) Having to pay back the money you owe the creditor
Civil Penalties
In many cases, creditors choose to sue bad check writers in addition to (or instead of) filing criminal charges. In the District of Columbia, creditors can sue for damages and protest fees. Protest fees are any amounts of money the creditor has to pay to try to prove that you owe the debt if you should choose to dispute a notice that you owe money on a bad check. If the creditor wins the case, you can be required to pay the money you owe and any protest fees the court determines you are liable for.
Other Consequences of Writing Bad Checks
In addition to criminal and civil penalties, people who write bad checks are often putting their bank accounts at risk. If you incur too many overdrafts or your account remains overdrawn for a significant period of time, your bank may elect to close the account. If your account is closed because you wrote bad checks, you will be listed on a special credit report called Chexsystems for up to five years. Most banks use Chexsystems to check the credit of people who attempt to open accounts with them. If your Chexsystems report says that you have had an account closed for writing bad checks, you may not be able to open a bank account at most banks. In this case, you may need to open a bank account at a bank designed to help people with poor bank credit to rebuild their credit. These types of banks often charge higher monthly fees than standard checking accounts in order to cover your risk.
Obviously, you want to try to avoid writing bad checks if at all possible. Writing bad checks causes financial and legal problems and can impact your life for years to come. Always keep track of your bank balance and don't write checks on the presumption that the funds will be there by the time the creditor gets around to cashing the check. If you do make a mistake, don't panic--most banks honor a couple of mistakes each year and simply charge you overdraft fees. If a check does bounce, get the money together to repay your creditor and your bank as soon as you find out about it so that you can avoid potentially serious negative consequences. Bad check laws in D.C. are intended to catch people who purposely write checks that they know are worthless, so if you are responsible about paying your obligations, you shouldn't have any problems.

Thanksgiving Candles
One of the most heartfelt holidays of the year, Thanksgiving is a time to get together with family, friends and loved ones that you may not see often throughout the year. It's an excellent time to reflect, express gratitude and celebrate. If you're hosting Thanksgiving this year, there's a lot to look forward to, as well as plan. From fine tuning the menu to preparing the food, the festive feelings of Thanksgiving envelope you before the day arrives. Let us help you with the details, including the small ones that make a lasting impression with your Thanksgiving decor. Choose from a myriad of Thanksgiving candles available from Williams-Sonoma to enliven both your tabletop and dining room.
Tapered candles add a nice touch to any Thanksgiving table. Place tapered candles at different yet equal spots throughout the table to provide not only lighting but decoration. Choose from a myriad of colors to accent your existing color palette, or opt for simple white or beige for an elegant touch. Orange, red and black are other fine choices for the fall holidays. Our unscented candles are perfect for the dining area, so the wonderful aromas of your Thanksgiving feast take center stage. The super-refined wax is also slow burning, smokeless and virtually drip-free. Look for festive candle holders to bring a touch of joy to the table. White ceramic turkey candle holders are an excellent idea for Thanksgiving, and they work well with an assortment of different tapered candles. For a touch of simple elegance, opt for silver-plated taper candle holders. These candle holders offer a classic candlestick look that works well for Thanksgiving or any other dinner engagement you're hosting throughout the year.
Pillar candles also work well for your Thanksgiving tabletop. Similarly to tapered candles, choose pillars in an array of dazzling fall colors, such as red and orange, to enliven your Thanksgiving decor. Match bright and bold pillar candles with clear hurricane candle holders, so you can see the magnificence of the color on your table. A silver-plated pillar holder also works well for the tabletop. Match both silver tapered and pillar candle holders together with different types of candles for a unique, eclectic look on the table. Tapered candles also work well with individual, small candle holders, while pillar candles offer a rustic, antique look when placed in a lantern-style candle holder. Match your candle and candle holder colors with an assortment of Thanksgiving table linens, to offer a complete and polished look in your festive dining room.

Could David Barton Win The Texas GOP Senate Race? (UPDATED)
There is a lot of chatter these days among tea partiers in Texas about who should run against John Cornyn in the 2014 Senate primary. Despite a conservative voting record, Cornyn is being targeted by the tea party set because he is perceived to be soft on Obamacare, immigration, taxes and the national debt. As I reported on Monday, David Barton has been asked by some tea party folks to consider a challenge to Cornyn.

Several of Larry Correia's fans have expressed concern over his size relative to the other celebrity redshirts currently offered by our Kickstarter campaign. WeaselPants Productions humbly acknowledges out mistake, and would like to issue this card as a correction. There. That is much more realistic.
We make funny tabletop games
Our Newest Game
Deluxe Edition
This game is not sponsored or affiliated with CBS Studios, Paramount Pictures or STAR TREK. CBS Studios is the owner of the STAR TREK trademarks and related logos and designs. We throw ourselves on the benevolent mercy of the CBS legal department. Please don't sue us.

In a little under two weeks WeaselPants will be traveling to exotic Indianapolis. We can't wait to bask in the warm glow of 40,000 nerds crammed into a building together. Come see the new and improved Redshirts. Come for the special six GenCon cards. Come for the two mystery cards. So secretive and mysterious that they won't even be available at our booth. Ooh! Spooky and mysterious.
We are currently resolving some issues which are causing a delay in the next print run of Redshirts. We do not currently have any remaining stock. Stay tuned and hopefully we will be able to fix that soon.
Conventions & Appearances
In a little under two weeks WeaselPants will be traveling to exotic Indianapolis. We can't wait to bask in the warm glow of 40,000 nerds crammed into a building together. Come see the new and improved Redshirts. Come for the special six GenCon cards. Come for the two mystery cards. So secretive and mysterious that they won't even be available at our booth. Ooh! Spooky and mysterious.
So GenCon was cool. I got to hang with several notables in the field of nerdom. I went to dinner with Howard Taylor and Michael Williamson. The crew of Smirk and Dagger Games invited me to hang out. They didn't even get mad when we came up with the most horrible Run For Your Life Candyman supplement ever. The guy that invented Killer Bunnies came to my booth to tell me how much he like Redshirts, and I managed to avoid squealing like my daughter when she gets a new stuffed animal. But just barely. I spent time chatting with Randy Milholland of Something Positive, and Lar Desiuza of Least I Can Do and Looking For Group. I had a booth right across from Slugfest Games. Years ago one of their bigwigs graciously allowed me to pitch one of my board games to them. And then in a polite, professional, and not unkind manner they ripped it apart. I used the advice they gave me to improve how I went about game design. I would quite literally not have my company today if it wasn't for them. I told them so too. I met a lot of folks who retail my game, and sold a lot of product. Like a ridiculous amount. We sold through all of the promo cards we had in stock and our artist, David Reddick was there to make custom Redshirts. We actually turned a profit going to GenCon, and I have been informed that doesn't happen very often. And managed to trade copies of my game for a few hundred dollars of other peoples games. I only had one person say that the rules were so badly written that they practically ruin the game. Granted they were a famous cartoonist, but hey, you can't win them all. There are days when it sucks to be Skippy. Those four days in Indianapolis where not among them.
I arrived at Vegas for the Star Trek Creation con on Tuesday. Nichelle Nichols was present as a guest of the con. Over the weekend, she had moved on to Space City Houston, where there was another booth set up by the WeaselPants team. Suspicious. At GenCon Ms. Nicholls was a guest of Honor yet again. I think that she is stalking us. Vegas was hot and expensive. We sold some product (although not as much as I would have liked) and made a ton of good contacts in the Star Trek community. I got to finally meet my artist David Reddick, in person. Lessons learned from the Star Trek con:
- If you get the theme from the Gary Shandling show stuck in your head, it ain't coming out any time soon.
- If you take a booth assistant to a Star Trek convention, make sure she knows something about Star Trek. So she doesn't accidently try to sell your game to LeVar Burton.
- This is the theme to Gary's Show…
- Be nice to people. You never know when that woman you helped in booth set up might turn out to be the personal assistant of a famous Trek Actor.
- Australians in Star Fleet uniforms are crazy.
- …the theme to Gary's show…
- Most famous actors are very pleasant well-adjusted people. But a few will go off like a human land mine. They don't have anything personal against you, but if you happen to be there when they detonate, it will end badly.
- For some reason, people will approach your booth, tell you that they bought your game online, and hated it. And then they will buy the promo cards.
- …Gary called me up and asked me if I would write his theme song…
- There is such a thing as a Tribble crane machine.
Starting next week WeaselPants will be appearing at the Creations Star Trek Con in Vegas, Space City Con in Houston, followed by GenCon in Indianapolis. Stop by to chat about Redshirts, ask about upcoming titles, and see our new Redshirts products. We have three new Promo cards that will be making the trip to the various cons with us. Afterwards they will be available for sale from the website. Tomorrow we will have another new announcement, concerning another product.
This weekend, Redshirts will be demoing at two different cons in the Dallas area. ReaperCon( Thursday the 17th and Sunday the 20th) , and Dallas Comic Con(Saturday and Sunday the 19th and 20th). The game will be available for sale at both cons, and all the promo cards will be free with any con purchase. So if you are going to be in the Dallas area this weekend, go ahead and give us a visit.

Department of SurgeryThe Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Alberta saw its first class of students in 1913. At the time, the faculty offered a three year course with clinical surgery in the second year. Students then moved to eastern Canada to complete their clinical training. After the First World War the university realized the need for a full medical instruction program and built the first complete medical school west of Winnipeg. In 1922 the Department of Surgery was born. Today the department offers programs in undergraduate, postgraduate and graduate studies. The department consists of 10 divisions: Cardiac Surgery, General Surgery, Neurosurgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Surgical Research, Thoracic Surgery, Urology.

The probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum species 299 reduces intestinal permeability in experimental biliary obstruction [Download]
Title: The probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum species 299 reduces intestinal permeability in experimental biliary obstruction Creator: White, J.S. Description: Aims: Extrahepatic biliary obstruction is associated with the failure of intestinal barrier function, allowing bacteria and other substances from the intestine to enter the circulation and initiate a systemic inflammatory response, causing impairment of organ function. Probiotic bacteria have been shown to have beneficial effects on intestinal barrier function in other conditions, but their effects have never been studied in biliary obstruction. Methods and Results: This study examined the effects of enteral administration of Lactobacillus plantarum species 299 (LP299) in oatmeal fibre compared with sterile oatmeal fibre in water or water alone in an animal model of biliary obstruction. Administration of LP299 was associated with reduced intestinal permeability compared with sterile oatmeal alone (0Æ262 ± 0Æ105% vs 0Æ537 ± 0Æ037%, P = 0Æ019, percentage excretion of 14Carbon), but there was no evidence of reduced endotoxin exposure or blunting of the systemic inflammatory response. Animals receiving sterile oatmeal fibre alone also failed to develop the hyperpermeability after biliary obstruction seen in animals receiving water only (0Æ512 ± 0Æ05% vs 0Æ788 ± 0Æ18%), suggesting that oatmeal itself may have some beneficial effects on intestinal barrier function. Conclusion: Enteral administration of the probiotic bacterium LP299 reduces intestinal hyperpermeability associated with experimental biliary obstruction. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study provides insight to direct further work into the modulation of intestinal barrier function by probiotic bacteria. Subjects: intestinal barrier function, biliary obstruction, probiotic Date Created: 2006
"A Chance To Show Yourself" - How do Applicants Approach Medical School Admission Essays? [Download]
Title: "A Chance To Show Yourself" - How do Applicants Approach Medical School Admission Essays? Creator: White, J.S. Description: Background: Although essay questions are used in the admissions process in many medical schools, there has been little research on how applicants respond to essay questions. Aims: The purpose of this study was to explore how applicants to medical school approach essay questions used in the selection process. Methods: Qualitative analysis was conducted on 240 randomly selected essays written by individuals applying to a single Canadian medical school in 2007 using a modified grounded theory approach to develop a conceptual framework which was checked in interviews with applicants. Results: Three core variables were identified: ''balancing service and reward,'' ''anticipating the physician role,'' and ''readiness.'' We described the overall approach of applicants as ''taking stock,'' writing about their journeys to the selection process, their experiences of the process itself, and about their anticipated future in medicine. Conclusion: Our findings suggest a disconnect between the approach of the applicants (to ''show themselves'' and be selected as individuals) and the stated intent of the process (to select applicants based on ''objective'' criteria). Our findings raise important questions about how applicants represent themselves when applying for medical school and suggest that it is important to understand the applicant's point of view when developing questions for selection processes. Subjects: admissions, medical schools, essay questions Date Created: 2011

Exploring Surgeons' Perceptions of the Role of Simulation in Surgical Education: A Needs Assessment [Download]
Title: Exploring Surgeons' Perceptions of the Role of Simulation in Surgical Education: A Needs Assessment Creator: Clark, M. Description: Background: The last two decades have seen the adoption of simulation-based surgical education in various disciplines. The current study's goal was to perform a needs assessment using the results to inform future curricular planning and needs of surgeons and learners. Methods: A survey was distributed to 26 surgeon educators and interviews were conducted with 8 of these surgeons. Analysis of survey results included reliability and descriptive statistics. Interviews were analyzed for thematic content with a constant comparison technique, developing coding and categorization of themes. Results: The survey response rate was 81%. The inter-item reliability, according to Cronbach's alpha was 0.81 with strongest agreement for statements related to learning new skills, training new residents and the positive impact on patient safety and learning. There was less strong agreement for maintenance of skills, improving team functioning and reducing teaching in the operating room. Interview results confirmed those themes from the survey and highlighted inconsistencies for identified perceived barriers and a focus on acquisition of skills only. Interview responses specified concerns with integrating simulation into existing curricula and the need for more evaluation as a robust educational strategy. Conclusion: The findings were summarized in four themes: 1) use of simulation, 2) integration into curriculum, 3) leadership, and 4) understanding gaps in simulation use. This study exemplifies a mixed-methods approach to planning a surgical simulation program through a general needs assessment. Subjects: simulation, surgical education, needs assessment Date Created: 2011

We tend to eschew fried foods on buffet tables on principle. In our experience, such preparations must be eaten straight from the fryer, lest they'll turn soggy and limp. Yet lately, we can't get past the fried green tomatoes ($6.50/lb) at Mangez Express (71–73 West Broadway between Murray and Warren Sts, 212-385-0008), the takeout annex of the popular Southeast Asian lunch spot Mangez Avec Moi. These tomatoes stay crispy and fresh-tasting because they're prepared in small batches; no more than 20 of the large golden coins are available at any given time, and the supply is refreshed regularly during the lunchtime crush. The thick slices of green tomatoes are dipped in flour, egg and finally panko (Japanese bread crumbs) that's seasoned with salt, rosemary, dried parsley and a hint of hot pepper, more for color than heat. They're then served with a house-made sweet-and-sour dipping sauce, the only hat tip to the eatery's Asian roots. We usually skip the sauce, the better to enjoy the satisfying crunch and tart yet jammy interior that is the unripe tomatoes' redemption.

Bon Jovi Postpones Concerts Due To Drummer's Illness
Bon Jovi has been forced to reschedule a handful of dates after drummer Tico Torres had an emergency appendectomy in Mexico City.
Jon Bon Jovi reports that Tico's surgery was a success on the band's Facebook page. Bon Jovi explains, "We'll remain here with Tico in Mexico City and will see him through his release. David and I spent the day with him at the hospital and Tico sends his thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. He wants everyone to know that it was his desire to perform. He even promised the doctors he would come back for the surgery right after the show but the doctors prevailed."
The band has several shows scheduled in Latin America through the end of September. After that, they'll return to North America for October and November. Bon Jovi will close out their tour in Asia and Australia in December.
This has has been a difficult one for Bon Jovi. Longtime guitarist Richie Sambora left the tour earlier this year.

Pope Valley, Calif. • Firefighters have largely tamed two wildfires at opposite ends of California, with no new growth, destruction or evacuations as the holiday weekend began.
In by far the larger of the two fires, crews in wine growing Napa County in Northern California made big strides Friday against a blaze that had burned two homes earlier in the week, though a long weekend of work loomed.
"While we've turned the corner, while we've slowed down this fire, there's still a lot of work ahead of us," state fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said.
The fire, which had burned nearly 7 square miles since Tuesday, was 65 percent contained Friday night and was no longer threatening homes thanks to favorable weather conditions that allowed crews to burn away fuel on the fire's flank.

7-7-1936 — 17-1-2009
MICHAEL Winneke, who was part of an august legal family and made his own way as a sportsman, solicitor, loquacious clubman and Melbourne city councillor, has died of a heart attack at Shoreham. He was 72.
He had a ringside seat to many of the biggest developments in Australian sport as some of his better known clients included the pre-AFL VFL, the Australian Golf Union, and Kerry Packer in the transformative days when the media mogul was establishing World Series Cricket.
In all his guises, Winneke's infectious laugh and sense of humour were at the fore — to the extent that in the early 1990s he founded the Tripe Club, which meets at the RACV Club for tripe and is addressed by a guest speaker with a sporting background.
The son of future Supreme Court Chief Justice and Governor of Victoria, Sir Henry Winneke, he was educated first at Camberwell Grammar School and then Scotch College from 1946-55. (Besides his father, Winneke's grandfather, Henry Christian, was a County Court judge, and his brother, John, was a Hawthorn premiership player who became a Supreme Court judge.)
Winneke was captain of Scotch College's football XVIII and the cricket first XI APS premiership side in 1955, as well as school captain that year.
A contemporary at Scotch, Brian Cossar, recalls Winneke playing cards under the school chapel at lunchtime, yet he matriculated in 12 subjects.
In his final year he bowled 141 overs in five matches, taking 35 wickets, including 11 wickets for 22 runs against Geelong Grammar School in his last match. He played briefly for Richmond's district first XI at the end of the 1955-56 season, and he played football for Melbourne University Blacks and was awarded a half blue.
Winneke studied law at Melbourne University before practising as a solicitor. He was a partner at Gillott Moir and Winneke (1961-76), Rofe and Sinclair (1976-87), and a consultant to Winneke Murray (1987-91). Earlier, in June 1962, he married Heather Paton, daughter of Sir George Paton (a Rhodes scholar and barrister), and they had three children.
Winneke was on the council of the Law Institute of Victoria from 1965-71 and treasurer for the last two years. He was elected to the Melbourne City Council in 1970, and was chairman of its general purposes committee in 1975-76. In 1974, he was narrowly beaten by Ron Walker for the position of lord mayor of Melbourne.
From 1973-76 he was a member of the La Trobe University Council, as well as the Arts Centre building committee. He was a commissioner of the MMBW from 1972-76, a member of the Youth, Sport and Recreation Council (Vic) in 1975-76, and a trustee of the 1983 bushfire appeal.
At various times he was a committee member, secretary and president of the Carbine Club, a member of Flinders Golf Club. A keen golfer, he played pennant at Metropolitan and served on the committee; he later played at the National Golf Club, often with his brother.
His last role was as judge's associate to his brother, John, who was president of the Victorian Court of Appeal.
Winneke is survived by his wife Heather, daughter Caroline, sons Peter and Richard and five grandsons.

Melbourne, Fla. (September 5, 2008) – The Saint Leo volleyball team (6-0) swept through the first day of the Florida Tech tournament Friday afternoon at the Clemente Center in Melbourne, Fla. The Lions made quick work of their first opponent defeating Converse College in three games (25-16, 25-9, 25-15). The Lions continued their hot start to the season with a 3-0 defeat of Northwood University (25-13, 25-13, 25-11).
Through two matches, Michelle Nogueras led all player with 14 kills, 48 total assists and tied with Chelsea Armer (Jr., San Jose, Calif.) with 15 digs. Jenna Jordan (Jr., Plant City, Fla.) combined for 15 kills and six digs while Kaitlin McKenna (So., Farmington Hills, Mich.) also finished with 15 kills and seven block assists. Leah Perry (So., Salem, Ohio) also had a monster day combining for nine kills and three block assists. Danielle Bletso (Fr., Boardman, Ohio) finished with seven kills, while Kim Nuckols (So., Upperville, Va.) and Emily Frey (Sr., Mason, Ohio) finished with six kills a piece.
In game one of the first match, the Lions jumped out early lead on the Converse College Valkyries scoring ten of the first 13 points with McKenna and Perry recording two kills apiece during the rally. Saint Leo shut the door quickly, not allowing the Valkyries to come within five points the entire first game, finishing out on 9-5 run behind stout defense.
A dominating performance in game two held Converse to only nine points the entire game. With the score 9-4 in favor of the Lions, Jordan toed to the line for Saint Leo 13 consecutive times, helping produce twelve straight points, including three service aces. Nuckols was an effective player in game, also, scoring four of the Lions last 15 points helping them close out their opponents in game two.
Saint Leo shot out to an impressive start in game three, as Nogueras and Nuckols toed the line for the first 11 Lions' points. From there it was a total team effort with everyone having a touch on the ball, including Bletso crushing two kills. The Lions widened the lead the entire match while playing their most consistent volleyball of the season.
The match was the Lions shortest of the season, lasting only 57 minutes.
The Lions used quick starts, consistent play and aggressive defense to defeat Northwood University (FL) 3-0 in the second match of the day. The first game of the match was the most difficult challenge for the Lions on the evening, as the Lady Seahawks battled back from multiple deficits. After the Seahawks cut the lead down to two, Saint Leo rattled off seven straight points. The Lions held off a pesky Northwood team, as they secured the first victory of the match.
The Lions used the second game as their statement match, displaying some of their most consistent play of the season. The Lions started out on a six point rally. Northwood rallied to cut the lead to two at 9-7 but Saint Leo dug their feet in the court and refused to relinquish the lead. Saint Leo went on to score 11 of the next 15 points, putting them solidly in the lead. The Lions sealed the game with a Jordan kill giving the Lions the momentum heading into the final game.
Saint Leo and Northwood battled back and forth as Saint Leo staked to only a two point lead early in the match. With the score 8-6, the Lions scored 13 of the next 15 points, taking advantage of eight Seahawks errors. The confident Lions made sure to out the match away quickly and a kill by Audrey Starkebaum (Sr., Huxton, Colo.) late in the game wrapped up the two match sweep for Saint Leo .
The Lions also had a season high12 aces while combining on seven team blocks in the second match.
Saint Leo returns to action at the Florida Tech tournament tomorrow for an 11:00 a.m. match-up with Valdosta State University. The Lions will then take on St. Thomas University at 4:00 p.m. from the Clemente Center in Melbourne, Fla.

JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. - With joyous reunions their focal images, ceremonies for military units coming home from combat zones appear from the outside to be simple to organize and execute.
What could be easier than calling families to greet their Soldiers - then getting out of the way'
Though the operations and deployment pace of units assigned to Joint Base Lewis-McChord gives units plenty of practice, reunions and reintegrations require time, care and effort. Teams representing five more brigades are at work across the installation, communicating downrange, coordinating with a host of support agencies, and meeting with family readiness groups to keep families abreast of current news and future plans. All five should be back on the installation by the end of October.
Next in the barrel, the Stryker Soldiers of 5th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, are scheduled to come home from Afghanistan in stages throughout June. Their rear detachment is working hard to prepare the way home for its heroes.
About 85 brigade family members met April 28 in the 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment classroom to hear early details of the return, as well as learn about the support system available to them and their Soldiers. It was the first of eight identical sessions, numerous to make the information accessible to the broadest audience with the busiest schedules. Break-out sessions addressed a range of issues, from financial to behavioral, after the chain of command briefed the particulars of their Soldiers' trip home.
"I'm so happy for you that your Soldiers are coming back," said 5th Bde., 2nd Inf. Div. Rear Detachment Commander, Maj. Elvis Coronado, but he cautioned family members to expect changes. The job in Afghanistan is not done.
"They're still doing combat operations," he said of their Destroyer Brigade Soldiers. "They're still in the fight."
The return is only the first step, Coronado told spouses. Reintegrating Soldiers into their garrison lives and family routines will take time and vigilance. It's a process, he said, that changes their reality from sometimes violent to often mundane, even boring.
The path from combat to a new "normal" can be rocky, he said. As a veteran of three deployments, the rear "D" commander speaks from experience.
"I know what it's like to be a Soldier on the other end," Coronado said. "My wife and I aren't immune to any of these problems. We've had these problems, talked about them and this is my experience ... Problems arise 60-90 days after (Soldiers) come back. That's a fact of life. Take this seriously."
Coronado said his guidance from Afghanistan is to focus on smoothing the impending transition for family members. To that end, he believes in leading from the front in conducting the sessions for family members, demonstrating that it's OK to ask for help. Either he or his executive officer, Capt. Paul Tanghe, will brief at each family session, field questions and personally encourage spouses and children to take advantage of resources.
"Listen to these people and take part in the discussions and avail (your) selves of help," Coronado said to the audience, "but it's up to (you) to seek the help."
Crucial members of the team are the brigade family readiness support assistant and her family-readiness-group counterparts in the battalions, companies and batteries. In 5th Bde., 2nd Inf. Div., Lindsey Tippery and her team serve as conduits for issues between families and chains of command. The FRSAs administer surveys and compile results so that sessions like last week's meet the needs of family members.
Tippery attends all brigade in-progress reviews, where she keeps Coronado apprised of family concerns and receives the latest bulletins from the deployed brigade to pass along to those waiting at home. Together, they determine the topics and points of emphasis for family meetings.
"We've readily used Ms. Tippery as a member of our staff and she has frequent input that has helped out tremendously," Coronado said. "She, the other FRSAs and the FRG leaders have been the backbone of the conferences."
Planning for the 5th Bde., 2nd Inf. Div. conferences was nearly complete before the installation's "Module 0" program for a more centralized reintegration architecture rolled out, though Tippery said she incorporated its concepts into the brigade's program. Under the new system, chaplains will alleviate some of the FRSAs' substantial burden to coordinate among support agencies for reintegration meetings. So the current round of brigade family sessions forms a kind of bridge to the Mod 0 concept.
Chaplain Roy Myers, I Corps plans and training chaplain responsible for Mod 0, emphasized the unified effort required in the reintegration process.
"MOD 0 is a team effort, which has involved tremendous support from many agencies, including units and rear detachments," Myers said.
The Army's Deployment Cycle Support requirements dictate 35 percent of JBLM reintegration activities, leaving 65 percent to be determined by the needs of the rear detachments, with input from FRSAs and FRG leaders.
"The I Corps Chaplain's office is proud to support the rear detachments as they fulfill their role in taking care of Soldiers and their families," Myers said. "Unit representatives continue to provide leadership, support for the FRGs, ... (and) ensure the training is effective and meaningful as possible."
Tippery said she had received positive comments about last week's 5th Bde., 2nd Inf. Div. meeting,
"All the feedback we received was good," Tippery said. "People felt empowered, understood and equipped to prepare themselves for the return of their Soldier. This, of course, was just the response we were hoping for."

Specially Designed Cellphone for Seniors Provides Peace of Mind
Cellphones are omnipresent in our society. And they're not only used for talking, but also for fun, photos, videos, e-mail, travel communication, Internet access, work and more. However, not everyone has equal access to the cellphone revolution. Though many seniors do own cellphones, some find it difficult to use them. That's why companies are beginning to manufacture cellphones for seniors with many convenient features. Let's see how these work, and what benefits they offer.
Some companies have created a cellphone with large buttons that are easy to see and push. These easy-to-use cellphones work great for seniors and can be used at home or away from the home. Many seniors still work or volunteer at a local charity. Some choose to sit with others who are sick or in need of companionship. Having a cellphone that works for them enables them to keep in touch with loved ones throughout the day. These are also useful for elderly persons who stay in adult daycare or a full time nursing home facility.
Another useful feature is the amplification of sound. Amplified cellphones for the elderly can easily be turned up more than regular cellphones so the user can hear even the lowest tone of voice without effort. For emergency situations, some cellphones for seniors have an SOS button on the back, which when pressed, dials five contact numbers (pre-programmed into the phone) simultaneously while making a loud noise to attract attention. This also activates the speakerphone so the phone's owner can speak into the phone even if he is unable to hold the phone in a talking position.
Other features to look for in a cellphone for seniors is longer battery capacity, a built-in flashlight for coming home after dark, an easy-to-activate speaker phone, and lock mechanisms for the large buttons when the phone's not in use.
You'll find that cellphones for the elderly are just as affordable as regular cellphones, but can help your grandparent, parent or friend enjoy the benefits of a cellphone with ease. Cellphones for seniors make great gifts for parents on Mother's or Father's Day, Christmas, anniversaries, birthdays, or any occasion. Just think of the enjoyment they'll have with a cellphone that makes life a little easier!

ATLANTA (AP) — Coca-Cola Co. says its second-quarter net income rose 18 percent as it sold more drinks around the world, especially its namesake brand.
The world's largest beverage maker earned $2.8 billion, or $1.20 per share, for the three months ended July 1. That's up from $2.37 billion, or $1.02 per share, in the same quarter last year.
Revenue climbed 47 percent to $12.74 billion from $8.67 billion, partly because of Coke's acquisition of its largest North American bottler.
The results beat analysts' forecasts for earnings of $1.15 per share on revenue of $12.39 billion.
The Atlanta company said Tuesday that it sold 4 percent more of its Coca-Cola brand drinks globally.
Coca-Cola has seen consistent growth for years because of steady sales in established markets and faster increases in emerging markets.

Toynami Celebrates 'Voltron' Turning 30 With Awesome New Diecast Action Figure
Between its 6″ articulated Voltron action figure, deluxe Voltron Force toys and massive 23″ tall Voltron assembled from five sizable robotic lions and their 3.75″ pilots, Mattel covered a number of toy bases while holding the brand's toy license through 2012. And yet, there was always a sweet spot defined by the Shogun Warriors and Trendmasters toys of the past that only Toynami ever seemed to truly rekindle. Now following up a 25th anniversary Voltron set from a few years ago, Toynami has returned to held defend the universe with an 11″ tall diecast Voltron 30th Anniversary Collectors Set.
Currently available for preorder at Entertainment Earth for $225, with an estimated arrival date of February 2014, the die-cast metal action figure set includes the Blue, Red, Black, Green and Yellow Lions that combine to form up the Defender of the Universe known as Voltron. Once formed, the 11″ tall figure can flash its light-up eyes and badge — a badge that can also be used to activate sound features built into the figure's included display base. You're going to hear this thing roar like the lion(s) it is.
And what would a rad Voltron be without its signature Blazing Sword (in unblaze-d mode)? This toy will come with a nice shiny one, which is is befitting of any true Beast King GoLion looking to slay Robeasts.
Those seeking to gift the figure in time for the holidays can preorder from the official Voltron store, which will send giftees an exclusive holiday card promising the toy's February release signed by original Voltron Producer, Ted Koplar for $245.
You can get a closer look at the upcoming diecast Voltron goodness below.

For every 1,000 Mississippi babies born in 2011, ten died before their first birthday. Mississippi has the highest infant mortality rate in the nation, making them more comparable for countries such as Costa Rice, Sri Lanka, and Botswana.
This isn't a new development.
State health officer Mary Currier notes that Mississippi has held 50th place out of the 50 states for years, and no one is really sure why.
There is not one clear explanation for the high death rate of infants. While experts cite a host of factors, many of these factors are seen all around the nation, not just in Mississippi. One theory is that Mississippi leads the nation in obesity. Obesity carries with it a host of complications that might affect a baby, such as hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, and others.
Dr. Michelle Owens is an obstetrician-gynecologist at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. In general, cites Owens, many pregnant women don't realize the importance of "getting their own medical problems treated." Other Southern states, such as Alabama and Louisiana, also have a high prevalence of obesity, and a corresponding high infant mortality rate. A 2010 study found that overweight and obese women are at a higher risk for preterm birth, which presents a host of dangers to an infant.
"We know that the way we get the best pregnancy is to have a healthy mom before mom and baby are together," Owens said.
Birth defects are the leading cause of infant death in the United States. While not all are preventable, mothers can reduce risks by taking care of their own health. Keeping health under control by eliminating smoking, alcohol use, and illegal drugs can help lower the risk of birth defects.
The same is true for premature births, which is another leading cause of infant deaths in the US. Mississippi has the highest premature birth rate based on the March of Dimes Premature Birth Report Card. Alabama and Louisiana also failed.
Experts suggest that poverty problems contribute to the poor health of babies and pregnant women. Mississippi led the country with the highest percentage of people whose income was below the poverty line, states the American Community Survey.
Currier states, "Infant mortality goes along with poverty, and we have a pretty low average income in the state."
Other factors include high rates of teenage births, Medicaid receivers, and uninsured families. Babies born to teen mothers are more likely to be premature and have low birth weights, with lack of prenatal care being one of the primary reasons.

Crouch End Fun Run: 'There is lots of people and they really, really need help'
PUBLISHED: 15:00 27 April 2012
The Journal looks at how your Fun Run sponsorship money helps those hitting hard times thanks to the work of the Hornsey YMCA.
Countdown to Fun Run
With less than a month to go, the adult race on May 20 is completely full and closed to entries.
There were only a few places left in many of the children's races as the Journal went to press – enter at www.enter4.co.uk
If anyone would like join the 150-strong team of volunteers, contact race director Hayley Ballard on 020 8340 6088 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
When Abdul Lahmer arrived at Hornsey YMCA last May, he was close to rock-bottom.
With no job, he had been sleeping rough and had little family around to turn to.
But less than a year on, the 24-year-old has a job, a home and aspirations to better himself.
"I came to the YMCA when I was really, really down," he says. "I was homeless, I did not have a place and I did not even have that much family here to go to."
It was the help given by the YMCA which allowed Abdul to completely turn his life around.
With a roof over his head, he got to work on his CV - and it wasn't long before his previous experience working in kitchens as a sous-chef came to the notice of the YMCA.
By July, Abdul had secured himself a job in the canteen. By November, he had his own place.
"I got everything sorted," he said. "Knowing that I am going to work, it is really interesting and good for me."
What's more, Abdul doesn't plan to settle with just working in the canteen. "I would like to run the canteen at the YMCA," he says.
Another resident, Linda Gbadamosi, found herself homeless after being evicted by her landlord, and turned up on the doorstep of the hostel.
While the 21-year-old is still struggling to save towards a deposit on her own place, she now has a roof over her head and has got herself work in an after-school club.
Abdul remains positive about the prospects for people like him. "I would like to say to my friends - they are in every hostel - to work hard to get out, to get a job and not just stop because you've got a little place in a hostel, got a little money," he says. "You just need to get out of this 'short life'.
"To the other people, I would like to say please, please - we need that money. There is lots of people and they really, really need help."

the omega in new quantum material is not easy to get a handle just out of the box, the beneath is a bit,...........well sharp and you will more than likely need to use a fan grip for longer up shots, for me its been about 1 month of like 6-9 rounds per week to just begin to get the benefits. but now!!!!! holly crap suddenly with a little wind the thing is a great up shot and putter. I use the omega "AP" for putting I sorta got rid of the light ROC's and got into using the same disc from 250 and out, but now I can change it up with a bit more stable quantum omega putter. it's a great way to improve the short game. since my arm is getting a bit longer the CE super ROC I use for 250 and up to 350 is all fitting togeather. try the quantum its good stuff
