Sites said he wasn't sure how long the documents had been posted to the site, but university officials removed the information once they knew it was publicly available.
The documents' existence was first reported Monday morning by the Web site Avewatch.com, which stated it accessed the documents using a Web search engine.
The Daily News also retrieved the documents using a search engine.
Avewatch published its report at 9 a.m. By noon, the documents were removed and by 2:30 p.m. the committee's entire Web site was taken down.
Sites added the university was in the process of contacting affected students to make sure they were aware of the disclosure and to apologize.
He said the school is taking steps to ensure that similar situations don't occur in the future.
"Generally speaking, grade point averages are protected as confidential under this law and would be considered covered by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act," said Jim Bradshaw, a Department of Education spokesman.
Bradshaw, the Department of Education spokesman, said typically no action is taken in cases relating to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act unless a complaint is filed.
Bradshaw added that if an academic institution is found in violation of the act, usually the department works with the school to resolve the matter, although the law does include enforcement options.

Fr. Fessio: For reasons I have still not been given, I was asked to resign as provost. I refused to resign, so I was fired. I was asked to come back the next day in a different position. I came back because I believe the university is bigger than one person, me, or anybody else, and I think that we have a tremendous opportunity for the truth and for the faith. So, if I refused to come back, there would be some people who would be very skeptical of the university; donors, parents, and students. I didn't want that to happen."For reasons I have still not been given, I was asked to resign as provost." What!? As of approximately February 20, 2008, 11 months later, Fr. Fessio still hasn't been told why he was fired? Fr. Fessio is obviously more passive than I; if I were in Fr. Fessio's place, I wouldn't stand for having AMU benefit from my person and reputation, while not respecting me enough to explain why I had gotten fired.

Not related to this post - OK, well, actually, in its being a parody of reality, it's related. I am currently participating in the Alumni Board phone call. For all those who are interested, we have just been informed that Dobranski has unilaterally declared that from now on, the school will post alumni board meeting minutes on the school website (which till now it did in theory but in practice has not done since July), but that they will be redacted to remove information he finds inappropriate. The example we have been given is information relating to Suzy Siegle's self-maintained website, www.maaac.org, a career networking website. The website was endorsed by the board in January (those minutes are slated for approval tonight), and Ermin has told us that the motion endorsing the website, as well as every instance of the URL, will be redacted from the minutes. At last month's meeting, Ermin informed the board (before a vote on endorsing the website) that regardless of the vote outcome, the school would refuse to release the statement endorsing her project, into which she expended considerable amounts of her own resources, because of some incomprehensible possibility of confusion or duplication with the work of the career services office.
I will be happy to entertain any comments that anyone would like to send me (or have me share at the meeting or disseminate to all members of the board, or only the sane ones) on this subject. email@example.com
I also note that this comment and my summary of events are only mine, and my personal impressions at that, not the official position of the alumni board.

My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling "Bravo!" in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)Read the whole thing. Though the author clearly holds a secular viewpoint, it is fascinating to see the longings for children and family so deeply imbedded in a "modern" woman. The author even admits that her position is one contrary to the feminist ideals which she herself subscribed to for so long.
It sounds obvious now, but I didn't fully appreciate back then that what makes for a good marriage isn't necessarily what makes for a good romantic relationship. Once you're married, it's not about whom you want to go on vacation with; it's about whom you want to run a household with. Marriage isn't a passion-fest; it's more like a partnership formed to run a very small, mundane, and often boring nonprofit business. And I mean this in a good way.
I don't mean to say that settling is ideal. I'm simply saying that it might have gotten an undeservedly bad rap. As the only single woman in my son's mommy-and-me group, I used to listen each week to a litany of unrelenting complaints about people's husbands and feel pretty good about my decision to hold out for the right guy, only to realize that these women wouldn't trade places with me for a second, no matter how dull their marriages might be or how desperately they might long for a different husband. They, like me, would rather feel alone in a marriage than actually be alone, because they, like me, realize that marriage ultimately isn't about cosmic connection—it's about how having a teammate, even if he's not the love of your life, is better than not having one at all.

Subject: Proposed ABA Standard Interpretation - Bar Passage Rates
Dear Ave Maria Law School Community,
Recently there has some false information and rumors at law schools around the nation, including Ave Maria, about a proposed change in ABA Standard Interpretations regarding bar passage. Attached you will find a Frequently Asked Questions document from the ABA regarding the change that is being considered. In short, a proposal has been made regarding a possible alteration of the Interpretation to the Standard requiring law schools to assure that their graduates pass the bar in satisfactory numbers.
Let me stress that we are in full compliance with the Standard as it is currently interpreted and as proposed, and we fully expect that we would remain in full compliance if the proposed Interpretation is adopted.
That being said, we continue to strive to prepare our students for success on the bar exam. Just this semester, we have instituted a series of bar review programs designed to give our graduating 3L's as much exposure to the bar exam as possible, months before graduation. Our goal is and always has been a 100% bar passage rate and we will continue working toward the goal regardless of any changes made by the ABA.

Two recent disagreements between the diocese and Ave Maria indicate conflicts over how the school receives official church sanctioning.Hat tip to "AMU student."
The university recently requested that the diocese confirm upon it the canonical status of a "Catholic university."
That request has yet to be granted, as the diocese is reviewing the school's accreditation and other matters, according to Diocese of Venice spokeswoman Adela Gonzales White.
There is also a disagreement over the title of university "chaplain," a canonical term for a priest appointed by a church leader such as a bishop to guide a particular group of Catholics.
Healy has said Nevins previously granted that title to the Rev. Robert Garrity, a university employee.
Again, the diocese took issue.
"No bishop with the Diocese of Venice has ever appointed a chaplain at Ave Maria University," Gonzales White said.

The Gospel highlights a typical feature of Christian almsgiving: it must be hidden: "Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing," Jesus asserts, "so that your alms may be done in secret" (Mt 6,3-4). Just a short while before, He said not to boast of one's own good works so as not to risk being deprived of the heavenly reward (cf. Mt 6,1-2). The disciple is to be concerned with God's greater glory. Jesus warns: "In this way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven" (Mt 5,16). []
Everything, then, must be done for God's glory and not our own. [and not for the glory of Monaghani]
This understanding, dear brothers and sisters, must accompany every gesture of help to our neighbor, avoiding that it becomes a means to make ourselves the center of attention. If, in accomplishing a good deed, we do not have as our goal God's glory and the real well being of our brothers and sisters, looking rather for a return of personal interest or simply of applause [or a return on real estate speculation and self adulation], we place ourselves outside of the Gospel vision. In today's world of images, attentive vigilance is required, since this temptation is great. Almsgiving, according to the Gospel, is not mere philanthropy: rather it is a concrete expression of charity, a theological virtue that demands interior conversion to love of God and neighbor, in imitation of Jesus Christ, who, dying on the cross, gave His entire self for us. How could we not thank God for the many people who silently, far from the gaze of the media world, fulfill, with this spirit, generous actions in support of one's neighbor in difficulty? There is little use in giving one's personal goods to others if it leads to a heart puffed up in vainglory: for this reason, the one, who knows that God "sees in secret" and in secret will reward, does not seek human recognition for works of mercy.

Amid pressure from the U.S. Department of Education, the American Bar Association is poised to tighten a rule that requires law schools to show that they are graduating students who can pass the bar exam.Could this new rule spell more trouble for AMSOL's future as an accredited law school? After all, AMSOL's Michigan bar passage rate this past summer was only 72%.
The ABA is expected to approve the controversial measure at its meeting in Los Angeles from Feb. 6 through Feb. 12, when its House of Delegates will consider a recommendation from the ABA's legal education section.
In general, the change would create a quantitative rule requiring law schools to demonstrate that 75% of their graduates passed the bar exam or to show that their pass rates were within a certain range compared with other law schools in the same jurisdiction. The change is technically a new interpretation of an existing accreditation standard. Almost all states require law students to graduate from an ABA-accredited law school in order to obtain a license to practice.
Under the current rule, the ABA does not require law schools to demonstrate a specific pass rate, but instead to show in general that they are preparing students for admission to the bar and maintaining a rigorous academic program.

(Adds late game)
Nov 24 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Sunday's National Basketball Association games.
- - -
Clippers 121, Bulls 82
Playing without fallen guard Derrick Rose the Chicago Bulls could not keep up with the relentless Clippers in a blowout defeat.
Blake Griffin (15 points, 12 rebounds) and Chris Paul (16 points, 17 assists) were two of six Los Angeles players in double figure scoring as they led by as much as 40 during the rout.
The Clippers improved to 10-5 while the Bulls (6-6) lost their third straight and again face uncertainty without their leader.
Rose suffered a torn medial meniscus in his right knee on Friday and will undergo potential season-ending surgery on Monday. The former league MVP missed all of last season after tearing his left ACL during the 2012 playoffs.
- - -
Thunder 95, Jazz 73
Serge Ibaka scored 17 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to help the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat the Utah Jazz.
Kevin Durant added 19 points on 3-of-9 shooting to go along with nine rebounds. For the Thunder (9-4).
The Jazz (1-14) were on pace to set a season low in points until guard Alec Burks hit a free throw with 8.9 seconds left in the game to match the 73 points it scored Nov. 8 against Chicago.
- - -
Suns 104, Magic 96
Goran Dragic had 23 points and 13 assists, leading the fast-breaking Phoenix Suns to a victory over the Orlando Magic.
The Suns (7-6) got 20 points from guard Gerald Green, who started in place of Eric Bledsoe, and 16 points from reserve forward Marcus Morris.
The Magic (4-9) were led by center Nikola Vucevic with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Forward Andrew Nicholson added 19 points.
- - -
Pistons 109, Nets 97
Another second-half meltdown from the Brooklyn Nets sealed their fifth straight loss.
A second quarter that helped the Nets build a lead as large as 10 was quickly overshadowed as Brooklyn (3-10) was outscored 34-15 in the third.
Rodney Stuckey helped seal the Pistons (5-8) win, scoring 17 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter.
Nets guard Joe Johnson led all scorers with 34 points on 11-of-15 shooting but Brooklyn played without injured players Andrei Kirilenko, Brook Lopez, Deron Williams and Jason Terry.
- - -
Lakers 100, Kings 86
Forward Xavier Henry came off the bench to score 21 points, guiding the Los Angeles Lakers to a victory over the Sacramento Kings.
Pau Gasol scored 14 of his 20 points in the first half and grabbed 10 rebounds as the Lakers (7-7) won their third in a row - a first this season - and sent the Kings (4-9) reeling to their second loss in as many days and their fourth in the last six games.
Point guard Greivis Vasquez led Sacramento with 20 points and seven assists. (Editing by Jahmal Corner)

The power of summer pop up park is officially open, head to Battersea Power station for delicious food and drink from the Street Feast London Collective, Indytute masterclasses for the family, and watch classic and cult films from Rocky to Pinocchio under the sun, courtesy of the open Everyman cinema. We all had the same idea as the crowd made a beeline for foodie ones to watch breakout stars Le Bun. The French American fusion fine dining for street food, was freaking delicious. I had the shredded beef bun teamed with truffle mayo fries, which was delectable, it was fine that it got a bit messy.
The Everyman Cinema was screening Reservoir Dogs, I had my pink headphones, what seemed like a keg size cocktail, tub of double chocolate ice-cream and grabbed a bean bag on the grass. You can choose from bespoke two or four person pods with waiter service included. I could just about stomach the ear cutting scene before I threw in the towel, but during the day there are family films suitable for the kids. The 6 week holiday is annoyingly on the doorstep, so this will be ideal especially as Indytute are offering up cool things to do such as the mothers meeting knitting class for a fiver! with The Wool and the Gang (kids go free). How about a Fat Buddha yoga workout for some Zen? there are lots going on, so book now to avoid disappointment as limited places.
From Thursday 10 July – Sunday 31 August. The park is open from 4pm daily and general admission is free from Monday to Wednesday and before 6pm on Thursdays and Fridays, or £4 after and on weekends. Make sure you get down early to get the full experience because it is bound to be hella busy.

This study tested a model hypothesizing that treatment affects objective clinical outcomes, which in turn affect perceived consequences, which in turn affect satisfaction and preference judgments.
The model was tested in a double-blind, randomized clinical trial in which 266 patients with type 1 diabetes added active or placebo pramlintide to their insulin regimens. Objective clinical outcomes included changes in glucose and weight control, insulin requirements, incidence of hypoglycemia, and study drug tolerance. At the end of the trial, patients completed the validated PRAM-TSQ questionnaire measuring treatment satisfaction and preference and perceived medication benefits and side effects.
Statistical modeling demonstrated that active pramlintide was significantly associated with greater treatment satisfaction, preference, and perceived benefits (all except hypoglycemia prevention), as well as objective clinical outcomes (weight loss, lower postprandial glucose [PPG], lower medication tolerance, more hypoglycemia). Perceptions of treatment consequences were sensitive and specific to their cognate objective clinical outcomes (no halo effects). Clinical outcomes (especially PPG) accounted for almost half of the effect of the study medication on treatment satisfaction and preference. Treatment satisfaction and preference were strongly related to the perceived benefits/side effects of the study medication, and these perceptions (especially glucose control) mediated most of the association of clinical outcomes with satisfaction and preference.
This model received substantial empirical support. Improvements in objective clinical outcomes accounted for a large part of the association of pramlintide treatment with higher treatment satisfaction and preference. Perceived treatment consequences mediated the effect of objective clinical benefits on satisfaction with and preference for the study medication.
Assessment of patient-reported outcomes (PROs), especially treatment satisfaction, is increasingly recognized as important in determining the efficacy of new therapies (1,2). Treatment satisfaction may be associated with adherence to treatment (3), glycemic control (2,4,5), and treatment preference (6). Most studies of treatment satisfaction and preference assess differences between groups using different treatments, but the diabetes literature reveals little effort to determine how treatment affects treatment satisfaction and preference. We have begun to develop a model that conceptualizes this process (Fig. 1, top panel). Treatment (e.g., initiation of a new medication) affects objective clinical outcomes (e.g., A1C levels), which in turn affect perceived consequences (e.g., better glucose control, more frequent hypoglycemia), which in turn affect treatment satisfaction (e.g., belief that the benefits of treatment outweigh the burden) and preference judgments (e.g., desire to continue taking the new medicine). Other perceived consequences of treatment that are not driven by objective clinical outcomes (e.g., convenience, pain, etc.) also may influence satisfaction and/or preference judgments (7).
Our research has provided preliminary support for this model. We found that several objective clinical outcomes were associated with perceived benefits (8) and treatment satisfaction and/or preference (7,9). We also found that perceived benefits of treatment were associated with treatment satisfaction/preference (6,7) and accounted for most of the difference between groups in treatment satisfaction/preference (6). However, several key research questions should be more fully addressed:
The current report examines the proposed model in the context of a study of patients with type 1 diabetes participating in an RCT comparing the effects of adding pramlintide or placebo with patients' insulin regimen. This study is well suited for testing our model because 1) the RCT design allows us to be confident that the observed group differences are a result of the study medication rather than uncontrolled factors, and 2) the study medication (pramlintide, an analog of human amylin) is hypothesized to effect multiple clinical outcomes, including lower A1C and postprandial glucose (PPG) levels, weight reduction compared with taking insulin alone, and reduced doses of mealtime insulin (12,13). Pramlintide also has some potential drawbacks; it requires an injection before each meal in addition to the patient's insulin regimen (14), and its use is associated with gastrointestinal side effects, including nausea, in some patients (15,16).
This study incorporates both objective and subjective measures of all these potential treatment effects, thereby permitting an analysis of the interrelationships among these factors and their association with treatment satisfaction and preference. The PRO measure (9,17) was designed to assess perceived clinical side effects and benefits of the study medication, as well as overall judgments of satisfaction and preference. The instrument did not assess some of the more traditional determinants/components of treatment satisfaction (e.g., convenience, comfort), which are less central to the proposed model.
A total of 266 adults with type 1 diabetes completed the 29-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial. A full description of the study protocol, including inclusion and exclusion criteria, medication, self-monitored blood glucose regimen, and data collection procedures, can be found elsewhere (12). The study protocol was approved by an institutional review board, and all participants provided written informed consent before participating in the trial. The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (1964), including all amendments through the South Africa revision (1996).
Clinical parameters assessed at baseline and at the end of the trial were daily total insulin dose, weight, A1C, and PPG (measured as the average of the daily averages over 2 weeks). Diary data were used to obtain the measures of PPG and insulin dose. Also measured were hypoglycemia and study medication dose (pramlintide or placebo). Hypoglycemia incidence was the natural log of the actual number of events (taken after adding one to the number to correct for the log of zero). Severe hypoglycemia incidence was a binary yes/no (1/0) measure defined using the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial criteria (18). Study medication dose was a binary yes/no (1/0) variable indicating whether the participant was able to take the maximum (60 μg/meal) dose.
PROs were assessed at the end of the trial, with the double-blind protocol still in place, using a 14-item questionnaire, the PRAM-TSQ (9,17). Response options were on a 6-point Likert scale from strong agreement with the item (scored 6) to strong disagreement (scored 1), with equal increments between response options.
PRO measures included several individual items measuring specific perceived benefits of the study medication (items 1–5: perceptions of blood glucose control, flexible eating, weight control, hypoglycemia prevention, and appetite control, respectively) and absence of side effects (item 6 with reverse scoring). Two multi-item scales were calculated as the means of their constituent items: treatment satisfaction (items 7–12: perceptions of benefits greater than insulin alone, less worries about having diabetes, more confidence managing diabetes, benefits that outweighed the burden of extra injections, improved ability to function, feeling better overall) and treatment preference (items 13 and 14: desire to continue taking the study medication and willingness to recommend it to others). Reliability was adequate for the two multi-item scales: treatment satisfaction (α = 0.92) and treatment preference (α = 0.69).
Only the 263 cases with complete data for all PRO measures were included in the analysis. The last-observation-carried-forward method was used for missing data on the clinical outcome measures. For all variables with missing data after using these techniques, we assigned participants the mean value of that variable in their treatment arm. The only clinical outcomes for which more than one value was imputed were PPG (n = 39) and insulin dose (n = 52).
The model's hypothesized independent associations among treatment group, clinical outcomes, perceived consequences, satisfaction, and preference were assessed with hierarchical ordinary least squares (OLS) regression using forced entry (19,20). The first block of variables included respondent characteristics, baseline values of clinical outcomes, and treatment arm. The second block of variables included the measures of objective clinical outcomes. For the analyses of treatment satisfaction and preference, the third block of variables included perceived consequences of the study medication. Finally, in the analysis of treatment preference, treatment satisfaction was entered in the final block to assess whether it made an additional contribution to explanatory power and mediated the association of treatment preference with other explanatory variables.
Note that clinical outcomes and perceived consequences can affect satisfaction or preference even though they are not related to treatment arm; these associations account for within-treatment-group variation rather than between-treatment-group variation. Only factors related both to treatment assignment and to satisfaction or preference can mediate the effect of treatment assignment on satisfaction or preference.
Study participants were mostly white (93%), female (55%), and using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (54%). Respondents were middle-aged ([means ± SD] 41.1 ± 13.2 years) and had diabetes of long duration (20.2 ± 11.9 years). Participants were somewhat overweight (81.4 ± 17.3 kg) and in suboptimal glycemic control (PPG = 185.9 ± 38.3 mg/dl; A1C = 8.1 ± 0.8%). Total daily insulin dose was substantial (55.1 ± 28.1 units). There were no statistically significant differences between the treatment arms at baseline (results not shown).
A precondition for assessing our conceptual model was the existence of significant treatment arm differences in clinical outcomes, perceived treatment consequences, satisfaction, and preference. Table 1 presents the analyses of group differences in objective clinical outcomes and PROs demonstrating that these preconditions were met. For clinical outcomes, the placebo medication arm experienced significantly less hypoglycemia during the trial, and more placebo participants were able to tolerate the maximum dosage of study medication. The active medication arm experienced statistically significant advantages in two objective clinical outcomes: weight and PPG. There were no significant differences for A1C or insulin requirements.
The pramlintide arm had a statistically significant advantage for all PRO measures except hypoglycemia prevention and absence of side effects; not surprisingly, those taking placebo reported lower side effects. For the six measures on which there was a statistically significant benefit for the active medication, four of the effect sizes (glucose control, weight control, appetite control, and treatment satisfaction) met the one-half SD criterion for a "minimally detectable difference" (21), the criterion representing a "moderate" effect (22).
Although none of the perceived treatment consequences were associated with change in A1C or insulin requirements, as hypothesized, each perceived consequence was associated with a corresponding clinical outcome (Table 2A–F). Improved postprandial glucose levels were associated with better perceived glucose control and flexibility in eating, improved weight was associated with better perceived weight and appetite control, fewer hypoglycemic events was associated with better perceived hypoglycemia prevention, and ability to tolerate the maximal pramlintide dose was associated with fewer perceived side effects. These associations demonstrate the sensitivity/responsiveness of the perception of benefits/side effects to objective clinical outcomes. The associations also manifested content specificity; no patient assessment was significantly associated with an objective clinical outcome to which it did not correspond.
Independent associations of treatment satisfaction and preference with clinical outcomes (controlling for baseline measures) are presented in Table 2. Higher treatment satisfaction was associated with improved PPG (model TS1). Higher preference for the study medication was associated with improved PPG and reduced insulin requirements (model TP1).
Of seven PRO measures for which there were statistically significant differences between treatment arms, introduction of objective clinical outcomes into the models accounted for 20–49% (median = 46%) of the PRO difference (compare each β in Table 1 to the corresponding β for treatment arm in Table 2, models A–F, TS1, TP1) (Fig. 1 for a representation of all mediations). Four of five significant associations between treatment arm and perceived consequences remained significant after controlling for clinical outcomes.
Perceived glucose control and flexibility of eating were associated with higher treatment satisfaction and mediated the association of PPG change with treatment satisfaction (compare model TS1 to model TS2). Perceived glucose control also was associated with treatment preference and mediated the association of PPG change with preference (compare model TP1 to model TP2). Introduction of perceived consequences did not mediate the significant association of treatment preference with change in insulin requirements (model TP2).
Treatment satisfaction mediated the association of treatment preference with perceived glucose control but not with perceived side effects or objective change in insulin requirements (model TP3). Sensitivity analyses performed using data for which missing values were not imputed revealed no meaningful differences in results compared with those reported here for the imputed data.
The purpose of this study was to test a model of objective and subjective determinants of treatment satisfaction and preference, specifically that treatment affects objective clinical outcomes, which in turn affect perceived consequences, which in turn affect satisfaction and preference judgments. The results of our analyses are illustrated in Fig. 1.
The results show that the study medication raises treatment satisfaction by reducing postprandial glucose levels, which increases perceived glucose control and ability to eat flexibly. The effect of improved postprandial glucose and perceived glucose control on treatment preference is mediated by treatment satisfaction, which outweighs the negative effect of lowered medication tolerance and perceived side effects. Reduction of insulin dose makes an independent contribution to increased preference for the study medication but does not contribute to the treatment group difference in medication preference.
The results illustrated in Fig. 1 address the research questions identified earlier. First, results demonstrated that the individual-level clinical outcomes (hypoglycemia, pramlintide dose, change in postprandial and long-term glucose levels, weight, and insulin required) accounted for almost half of the effect of the study medication on perceptions of treatment consequences and judgments of treatment satisfaction and preference. Improved postprandial glucose had the strongest effect on treatment satisfaction and preference; lowered insulin requirements also had a significant effect on preference.
Second, our results showed that the effects of objective clinical factors on specific perceived benefits and side effects were as hypothesized (each measure of perceived consequences was significantly associated with the particular clinical outcome to which it corresponded [sensitivity] and only with that outcome [specificity]). For the one perceived consequence (glucose control) with two relevant clinical outcomes (changes in A1C and PPG), only PPG had a significant independent association. Elsewhere (8), we have offered several explanations of this pattern, including the fact that A1C levels and changes are not experienced as directly or as frequently by the patient as the PPG levels and changes revealed by blood glucose self-monitoring, which provides immediate and powerful feedback to patients about treatment efficacy compared with the feedback from A1C, which is less frequent and after the fact.
Third, our results showed how various perceived treatment consequences mediate the relationship between objective clinical outcomes and treatment satisfaction or preference. Treatment satisfaction and/or preference were independently related to each of the perceived consequences of the study medication, with perceived improvement in glucose control having the strongest association (as might be expected for an antihyperglycemic medication). In one benefit domain represented by two relevant measures (appetite/weight control), only the appetite-control measure was related to treatment satisfaction, perhaps because appetite control comprises a more frequent, visceral, and immediate subjective experience than weight control (paralleling the experiential primacy of PPG over A1C noted above).
Fourth, results showed that, despite some similarities, treatment satisfaction and preference for the study medication were differently related to clinical outcomes and perceived consequences. Satisfaction was independently related more to perceived benefits, while preference was related more to perceived side effects and objective clinical outcomes.
Finally, we demonstrated that treatment satisfaction mediated the association of perceived glucose control with treatment preference and produced a substantial increment to explanatory power. The latter finding suggests that either the measure of treatment satisfaction incorporates unmeasured treatment consequences, or it represents synergistic effects of measured factors. Interestingly, treatment satisfaction did not mediate the relationship between perceived absence of side effects and preference. Our earlier research (9) indicated that perceptions of side effect absence and treatment benefits do not cluster together, and these results demonstrate that it is important to retain a separate measure of perceived side effects because it may play an important role in treatment preference.
The model investigated here can provide a foundation for future research. For example, controlling for clinical outcomes did not eliminate all treatment arm differences in perceived consequences, treatment satisfaction, or preference. This indicates that patients' subjective perceptions and judgments about treatment are more complex than our empirical model (e.g., perceived hypoglycemia prevention did not mediate the effect of reducing insulin dose, implicating negative perceptions of insulin beyond hypoglycemia risk) (23); these should be studied in future research. Relatedly, this study did not capture all the potential perceived consequences that might be relevant to patients' judgments about treatment satisfaction and preference. Perhaps unmeasured perceived consequences that do not have a corresponding objective clinical outcome (e.g., convenience, comfort/pain, safety, etc.) would account for additional variance or some of the variance now attributed to the measured consequences (6,7); these factors should be incorporated into future tests of this model. Finally, we do not know whether the factors in this model would have the same influence with different medications; research with other medications should include measures of the specific objective and perceived effects of those medications. Analysis of PROs in studies of a treatment intervention should analyze each perceived consequence separately to obtain a unique perceived risk/benefit profile for that intervention.
Our findings suggest that patients recognize the objective clinical benefits and side effects of their treatments and that they are especially likely to recognize those that are most immediate (e.g., changes in PPG rather than changes in A1C; changes in appetite rather than changes in weight). Our findings also suggest that perceived benefits are powerfully associated with treatment satisfaction, which is related to treatment adherence (4) and clinical outcomes (2,5,6). Clinicians should consider helping patients identify immediate, perceptible benefits of prescribed treatments and heighten the salience of these benefits as a means to improve treatment adherence, treatment satisfaction, and clinical outcomes (23). In addition, the finding that treatment satisfaction did not mediate the relationship between perceived absence of side effects and treatment preference suggests that patients' concerns about side effects should be addressed specifically in order to enhance treatment adherence.
Our model hypothesizes causal pathways from perceived consequences to satisfaction and preference. However, all data for these pathways were collected at the end of the study, and these relationships are cross-sectional. Without knowing the temporal dynamics of these associations, we cannot confidently assert causal pathways. Moreover, the study population is not necessarily representative; patients who enroll in RCTs tend to differ from the general patient population. Thus, the generalizability and validity of the results may be limited. Finally, the study medication has a particular effect profile that, if known to patients, may have significantly influenced their perceptions, satisfaction, and preferences and might not be present in other studies.
This report developed a model that identifies objective and subjective determinants of treatment satisfaction and preference and the linkages among them. The model states that treatment affects objective clinical outcomes, which in turn affect perceived consequences, which in turn affect satisfaction and preference judgments. This model received substantial empirical support and performed reasonably well in accounting for treatment satisfaction and preference. Additional research will be required to further develop the model and determine its generalizability.

Previous comments
"my "new kid on the block" this year. Why would you invest in expensive and complicated authoring tools if you just want to "convert your PowerPoint to e-learning" (even if that is not always a good idea)? Although this is certainly not a full blown, finished product, I think Microsoft deserves to be in the list because they seem to take this very seriously (SCORM export, LTI compatibility…) Certainly a tool to watch closely in the coming year!." Jan Van Belle 2015

For last 10 years I suffering from severe dandruff problem, now I starting to use ketoconazole ZPTO lotion. Which hair oil is better to daily use while using this twice a week.
Of late, are you experiencing suicidal thoughts as a result of some severe trauma or loss in life? Suicidal thoughts may arise because of several reasons when you lose yourself totally and feel that you are not worthy enough for living in the world anymore. Such thoughts lead many people into actually committing suicide. Hence, you have to deal with suicidal thoughts carefully and prevent anything bad from happening.
Here are 10 useful ways through which you can deal with suicidal thoughts:
- Although you may feel like withdrawing yourself from all activities and socializing, it is important for you to talk to someone every day regarding your thoughts and what you are going through. Spend time with someone you trust. You can also call a crisis helpline and discuss your feelings.
- You have to develop an efficient safety plan. The plan must include the contact number of your doctor, friends and family who would help you during a crisis.
- Try to make a written schedule for yourself and follow it strictly. Keeping and maintaining a scheduled life is important for your mental health and will keep you diverted from suicidal or negative thoughts.
- Spend time in the sun and get into nature for at least one hour every day. This will help you to connect with something full of life and is important for eliminating suicidal tendencies.
- Daily exercise is also very important. You should exercise for 30 minutes every day. The bursts of activity and exertion will have a positive impact on your mind.
- You should devote your time for things which you like to do, but could never continue them in life. This will give you joy and a positive vibe, which is essential for fixing your mind.
- You should not forget about your personal goals. Think about the things you dreamt of doing, the places you planned to visit, and all the things in life you want to accomplish. This will bring back your hope of living in order to fulfill those goals.
- You should promise yourself not to do anything when you think of suicide. You need some distance between thoughts and actions. Promise yourself that you will not do anything stupid and will wait.
- Consuming alcohol and taking drugs can trigger your suicidal thoughts rapidly. Hence, you should not take these substances as an escape from your conflicting thoughts.
- It is also important for you to make your home safe. You should remove all the things, which you may use to hurt yourself such as knives, pills, razors or firearms. You should go to a safe place and avoid being alone when you experience suicidal thoughts. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Psychiatrist.
Eczema is a form of dermatitis, or inflammation of the epidermis. The term eczema is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin conditions. These include dryness and recurring skin rashes which are characterized by one or more of these symptoms: redness, skin edema (swelling), itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding. Areas of temporary skin discoloration may appear and are sometimes due to healed lesions, although scarring is rare. In contrast to psoriasis, eczema is often likely to be found on the flexor aspect of joints.
Homeopathy takes a mild and gentle approach in treating eczema. Homeopathy treats eczema in two phases: in the first phase, homeopathic medicines control itching. In the next phase, they heal the lesions and control further progression of eczema. Homeopathic medicines also work wonders in case of eczema attended with complaints of hay fever and asthma. Prominent names in this category are graphites, sulphur, petroleum, mezereum and natrum mur. Homeopathic medicines for eczema are natural and therefore, safe from any adverse side-effects. They can be taken by persons of all age groups.

Hello, doctors. I am a 16 year old ambitious student who regularly takes part in numerous activities. I go to the gym and my diet is proper but it so happens that at the later weeks of each month, I lose motivation and feel depressed. The same things that would get me excited like talking to my friends and feeling the wind against the feed starts seeming pointless. But after a week or so, I go back to being excited again. This relentless cycle each month without gap takes a lot of precious time when I could be working on my virtual internships or reading ahead of my school work. Please, help?

High blood pressure, which is often a result of hypertension, is the leading risk factor for a stroke, which in turn leads to severe and long-term disability, including death. Managing your blood sugar levels is the most critical thing you can do to lessen your risk of a stroke, and you should leave no stone unturned in keeping your blood pressure at optimum levels.
What causes a stroke
A stroke, which is often referred to as a brain attack, takes place when the supply of blood to a particular region of the brain is cut off. The brain cells which are deprived of the oxygen and glucose die, and when the ailment is not caught early, a permanent damage to the brain can follow.
How is high blood pressure related to a stroke
Uncontrolled blood pressure levels can increase the risk of a stroke by about four to six times. With the passage of time, hypertension causes atherosclerosis as well as hardening of major arteries. This often results in blockages of small blood vessels present in the brain. With high blood pressure for a long period of time, the blood vessels of the brain become weak and burst. This way the risk of a stroke is directly related to the high levels of blood pressure.
What can you do to keep your blood pressure under control
There is a lot you can do to keep the chance of a stroke at bay. But the first thing you should try doing is keeping your blood pressure level normal. Some simple lifestyle changes can help you to lead a risk-free life and therefore, you should first aim at shedding off those extra pounds along your waistline.
In general, a man with a waistline measuring over 40 inches and a woman with that over 35 inches is at a higher risk of suffering from high blood pressure as well as a stroke. You should exercise regularly for at least half an hour and eat a well-regulated diet loaded with fibre, proteins, potassium and Omega-3 fatty acids. Stay away from junk food and maintain a food diary where you can jot down your honest food habits.
It is very important to lower down your high blood pressure in order to avoid risks of stroke. But if you fail to do so even after following a healthy routine, then it is crucial to consult a doctor who can help you by prescribing medications that are right for your medical condition.
While most children share a strong bond with their parents, especially the mother, some infants are unable to establish lasting relationships with their parents or caregivers. This is known as attachment disorder. It is a rare yet serious condition as it affects the child's relationships at a later stage and also triggers delinquent behavior. Children, who have been abandoned, orphaned or are victims of abuse are the most vulnerable to this condition.
What causes attachment disorder?
The exact cause for attachment disorder is not yet understood. However, researchers have put together a number of viable hypotheses for this. One such hypothesis suggests that when needs of a child are ignored or when he begins to feel unwanted, the child begins to expect hostility, negativity and rejection. This is a learnt response and the child begins to feel that his needs are unwanted. With time, these responses make the child untrusting and he withdraws into himself to avoid social contact. This affects the development in the brain and causes attachment problems that affect the child's personality and future relationships.
Risks associated with it
Some children are at a higher risk of attachment disorder than others. This includes
- Children living in orphanages or other such institutes
- Children whose caregivers are changed frequently
- Children who have had prolonged hospitalization
- Neglected children
- Children who have suffered from physical, sexual or verbal abuse
- Children living in extreme poverty
- Children born to parents with mental conditions or anger management problems
- Children born to a mother suffering from post partum depression
There are two types of attachment disorders; inhibited and disinhibited.
- Inhibited attachment disorder: Children suffering from inhibited attachment disorder are likely to be:
- Detached
- Withdrawn
- Unresponsive to comforting ie. they shun all types of relationships and generally do not get along with their peers or caregivers.
- Disinhibited attachment disorder: On the other hand, children suffering from disinhibited attachment are likely to:
- Seek attention
- Display inappropriate behavior
- Frequently break social boundaries
- Be inappropriately familial and attached to selective figures.
Additionally, children suffering from either type of attachment disorder are manipulative, destructive, moody and lack compassion and remorse.
Effects of attachment disorder
If not managed properly in its early stages, this disorder can continue into adulthood. This leads to:
- Relationship problems with peers, friends and family members
- Low self esteem
- Depression
- Anger management
- Academic problems
- Unemployment
- They are also at a high risk for drug abuse and alcohol addiction. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Psychiatrist.

What people are saying about Feeder
Rated 5 out of 5 by skerr3 from As good as ever I last saw Feeder six years ago, they're still great. When I saw them last they were at the height of their powers, the concert this time felt more earthy and humble, the quality though is undeniable despite the gap in having been on the road.
Date published: 2017-04-19
Rated 4 out of 5 by Scotty700 from Classic Feeder A decent sized venue with okay sound and plenty of room at the bar. The support band Darlia were a great indie guitar band with instantly likeable music. Feeder were classic Feeder, a great mixture of melodic rock and something a lot heavier. Would definitely see both bands again and visit the venue, as Cowley Road has a good mixture of pubs and restaurants to go to first!!!
