Audience Development Policy
1. Introduction
This strategy is underpinned by the HRO Access and Learning Policy (Dec 2006) and needs to be read alongside that.
The latter sets out our vision for access and learning at HRO:
We actively seek to develop and increase awareness of the relevance and importance of archives and to encourage their use to inform and excite people. We want all the people of Hampshire and those people with an interest in Hampshire, to benefit from our archive service, wherever they live, whatever their needs may be.
It also sets out objectives and describes in detail the wide range of access and learning activity we offer.
The Access and Learning Policy remains valid following the integration of Hampshire Record Office with Local Studies to create Hampshire Archives and Local Studies from April 2008. This major organisational and cultural change creates opportunities for our access and learning and audience development work.
Other new developments also create such opportunities, including partnership work with Winchester Cathedral through the provision of an archives service (from April 2008), the Living Links community archives project (started Oct 2007), developments at Wessex Film and Sound Archive through the national Strategy for UK Screen Heritage, and the Culture, Communities and Rural Affairs departmental developments, current and future, including PUSH for Culture and Learning outside the Classroom and the opportunity provided by new developments such as the gallery and learning spaces at Winchester Discovery Centre.
There is an increased emphasis on partnership working, both within the department and also with external organisations such as Winchester City Council, which also have the aim of developing audiences.
This Audience Development Strategy builds on the Access and Learning Policy and does not aim to repeat it.
2. Aims - what we are trying to achieve
- To increase the number of users of Hampshire's collections of archives and local studies
- To widen our audiences
- To better meet the needs of our audiences including helping existing users to develop and progress
- To develop our customer offer through cross-service working
- To meet the objectives in our Access and Learning policy
3. HALS at present
3.1 The archives and local studies services
Hampshire Record Office (HRO) was set up in 1947 to preserve the growing collection of historical records relating to Hampshire and Hampshire families. Hampshire Archives Trust, a support organisation for the county's archives, based at HRO and funded largely by Hampshire County Council, was established in 1986 and led to the creation in 1987 of Wessex Film and Sound Archive, also based at HRO, with a remit to collect materials relating to central southern England.
In 1993 HRO moved to a purpose-built, award-winning building conveniently located next to Winchester Railway Station. In spring 2008 HRO and the county's Local Studies were integrated to create Hampshire Archives and Local Studies, following the redevelopment of Winchester Library into Winchester Discovery Centre, as part of a new local cultural offer.
Archives relating exclusively or primarily to Portsmouth or Southampton are found in the Portsmouth Records and Museums Service or Southampton City Archives, respectively.
HALS collections of original documents and printed secondary sources – including maps, plans, correspondence, registers, diaries, photographs, newspapers, directories – span 10 centuries, comprise a range of formats – paper, parchment, photographic, audio-visual and digital – and derive from a wide range of sources including local government, private estates, churches, schools, clubs, societies, businesses, charities. Treasures include the baptism entry for Jane Austen, a letter by Florence Nightingale as a child and her recorded voice in her later years, the unparalleled series of Winchester bishops' 'pipe' or account rolls from 1208, and film of soldiers returning from the Boer War.
HRO has a high reputation among local authority archives, as a leading service. In 2006 HRO's archives were Designated by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council as a collection of national and international importance, including three collections of outstanding national and international significance: Winchester Bishopric collection, Winchester City archives and Wessex Film and Sound Archive. HALS has received a top rating in The National Archives self-assessment regime for local authority archives services on each occasion since this began (2006), ranking third in 2007 and again in 2008 (out of 124 authorities). (There was no assessment in 2009.)
3.2 Access
HALS maintains excellent standards of access, offering the longest opening hours of any local authority archives service building in the country, and achieving Charter Mark status consistently since 2000 (at that time, one of only a few archives services to have gained the award).The Access and Learning Policy details how visitors can gain access to collections on site and remotely through the HALS website (www.hants.gov.uk/archives), including our online catalogue, and also details how people can come into contact with archives in a variety of ways through our proactive learning programmes, events and activities.
3.3 Our customers
A decline in on site search room visitor figures over recent years is a national trend, caused by the increasing quantities of information available via the internet. In common with other local authority archives services, this has been the experience at HRO.
In recognition of our customers' needs, during the last 20 years we have given particular emphasis to opening up our collections through cataloguing and creating online access to our catalogues, including through the Heritage Lottery Funded (HLF) national Access to Archives project. As a result, we have one of the lowest cataloguing backlogs of local authority archives services and all of our catalogued collections are now accessible online.
Our drive for online accessibility has anticipated the increasing demand for online information via the internet and has formed part of our strategy to reach out to audiences not just on site, but remotely as well. Acknowledging this increasing demand, we have put emphasis on creating and maintaining a dynamic website, and exploring ways to create digital access to documents. This has led to our HLF projects, Hampshire Photographic Project and Access Hampshire Heritage, creating digital access to a resource of 15,000 documents. We are currently exploring much wider digital access to documents in partnership with a commercial enterprise.
Also in recognition of our users' needs, we have put resources into diversifying our customer offer through our access and learning programmes. In 2005 our organisational structure changed to create an Access and Learning Team with a Head of Access, in order to focus resources on this area, promoting archives and arranging activities to encourage people to enjoy and learn about archives in a variety of ways, both at HRO and across the county. Our Archive Education service and Wessex Film and Sound Archive increasingly engage in partnership projects to develop audiences, and Hampshire Archives Trust support and funding enables partnership projects which help develop audiences, including the current community archives project.

*This figure's decrease is probably due to increasing importing of same data into our online catalogue.
**This year's visitor figures are not comparable with other years as the searchroom service was completely closed for several weeks while we moved out and later moved back to the re-furbished searchroom; and we ran a much reduced service in between, from late November to March
The majority of visitors to the search room are family historians; others research house or local history, various topics for academic purposes, or specific issues relating to practical concerns such as establishing rights of way. The National Council on Archives Public Services Quality Group survey (see table below) supplies a profile of these visitors during a 2-week period in a given year, and recent figures show a more or less even balance of male and female; a high percentage of older people (55+), a growing number of younger users (24 and under); a majority white ethnic profile but with an increasing number of non-white users, and an increasing proportion of both new users and long-term users.

- 2004 survey ran for 2 weeks; 200 questionnaires given out and 167 returned.
- 2006 survey ran for 2 weeks from 20 Feb; 290 questionnaires given out and 208 returned.
- 2007 survey ran for 2 weeks from 29 Oct; 200 questionnaires given out and 158 returned
- 2009 survey ran for 2 weeks from 1 Jun; 247 questionnaires given out and 176 returned
We have been collecting postcodes for search room visitors since 1 April 2005 (and of house numbers since 2008?) and have recently gained the facility to analyse this information through the MOSAIC marketing tool. Analysis for the period May-Oct 2007 and May-Oct 2008 shows a similar pattern. The top two categories of users are: 'career professionals living in sought after locations' and 'older families living in suburbs', and the lowest two categories are: 'low income families living in estate based social housing' and 'older people living in social housing with high care needs'. There is a marked higher percentage of the category 'educated, young, single people living in areas of transient populations' than the Hampshire population profile (presumably due to the number of students researching the collections); the next two categories showing higher percentages than the Hampshire population profile are: 'people living in rural areas far from urbanisation' and 'people living in social housing with uncertain employment in deprived areas'.
An ACORN profile was produced for the service (within the context of After Value – see below) in 2006 by profiling a list of postcodes of search room users (visits rather than visitors). This indicated a density of postcodes in the south east area, mainly sweeping from Hampshire to London, but with postcodes dotted over England, including the extremities, and through Scotland (apart from the Highlands). The visitor groups over-represented compared with the catchment population and also the largest groups of visitors, are: 'flourishing families', 'secure families', 'affluent greys' and 'wealthy executives'. The last group is the largest in the catchment population and also the largest in terms of HRO visitors.
4. Developing our offer
A balanced approach to audience development would be to continue to target existing users and also to try to target non or low users, but without concentrating on one category to the exclusion of others. The current 'scatter-gun' approach appears to succeed in catering for a range of audiences and needs, by provision of: a supportive self-directed research facility within the search room, open throughout the day, evenings and Saturdays; a supportive Archive Education Service for students and student teachers; a variety of events both on and off site, ranging from general interest talks to skill-developing workshops and special events linked to local or national campaigns; exhibitions on site and increasingly circulating to other sites; a website under constant development to provide advice, guides to collections and access to actual documents (eg audio clips); and promotion of archives and local studies to audiences via the media, eg through human stories and topical themes. (For details, see Access and Learning Policy.)
It is recommended that this approach be continued, but with further development catering for specific audiences.
5. Search room opening
A review of HRO search room opening hours is currently under way to ensure the search room service is as accessible as possible to individuals and groups wishing to use it and that we are targeting our resources in the best way to meet audience needs.
This may lead, for example, to facilitating research by groups (currently difficult due eg to noise issues), or providing further skills-developing sessions to help current users progress to more challenging documents. Both of these needs have been identified – the former suggestion was welcomed at the (November 2008) Customer Liaison Group, and the latter is borne out by persistent demand for follow-up sessions after workshops and the continued popularity of the regular lunchtime reading documents sessions.
6. Partnership working
Partnership working is particularly important for a service such as ours, where resources are limited but the potential to engage people is very significant. It is key to enabling us to reach wider audiences.
6.1 Internal partnerships
We have a history of partnership working with the services in our department, particularly libraries and museums, and we recognise the excellent opportunity this provides for reaching out into the community, across library and museum sites, helping to offset the constraints we experience as a one-site service.
Such work has taken the form of undertaking talks and workshops, regular drop-in sessions and circulating exhibitions for such venues, but also joint projects such as museums and archives exhibitions, regular WFSA contributions to museums exhibitions, and the Gypsy Heritage project. Recently we have started to build a stronger relationship with Countryside and Arts.
The development of discovery centres has provided an opportunity for a more strategic approach. We initiated a programme of digitising specific HRO materials for local access at discovery centres and we are currently developing strong links with Winchester Discovery Centre (WDC), our close neighbour. The new series of joint family history monthly workshops there has proved popular, attracting people who might not normally consider coming to HRO and possibly also those who perceive a library environment as less daunting than a record office. We will continue to contribute to the WDC events programme, and in other ways, such as staff shadowing, to help promote HALS and develop our audiences. We also participate in the WDC gallery exhibitions planning group which has facilitated our significant input into gallery exhibitions, especially the major Hampshire Treasures exhibition mentioned below.
Similarly a more strategic approach has been facilitated with Museums and HALS is represented on various Museums audience development planning groups such as the Strategic Exhibitions Group. Hampshire Treasures, a high-priority exhibition showcasing Museums and Archives collections in the WDC gallery (Mar-May 09) represented a milestone as the first such project to exhibit originals from both collections. This has already led to the demand for original archives for further exhibitions at WDC.
The creation of the R&H (now CCRA) Department has led to increased cross-service working especially through projects such as the Anne Frank exhibition, the National Year of Reading, Culture-all and the Family History Festival. Such projects are welcomed by us for their value in audience development and also for the funding they can sometimes provide (eg for exhibitions and events).
Such cross-service working is set to increase and develop. We will continue to develop partnership working across the department, supporting the corporate and departmental agendas for learning, culture, personalisation of services, rural deprivation, and children's and youth priorities, in order to meet the needs of our audiences.
Museums and Libraries staff visits to HRO over the last few years have helped increase colleagues' understanding of HALS and in turn enable them to guide customers towards HRO.
6.2 External
We benefit from links with a range of organisations in order to promote our services and reach audiences. These include the media (eg our regular column in the Hampshire Chronicle, Radio Solent, WFSA material supplied for television companies), local universities and Hampshire Genealogical Society. We work with a range of local groups in a variety of ways, from advising on oral history to more extensive partnership working, such as the Victoria County History project, the Hyde 900 celebration and the English Project. The current Living Links project has extended our capacity for a sustained approach to working in partnership with communities across both Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
6.2.1 Hampshire Archives Trust
HRO has long recognised the value of external partnerships. In 1986 Hampshire Archives Trust was set up to facilitate the building of a network of support for Hampshire's archives and partnership will remain a key characteristic of the Trust into the future. The creation of the Trust has been a way to reach out more widely to audiences, leading to a strong membership (550) of both individuals and corporate members, proactive advisory and rescue work for people responsible for archives – another segment of our audiences – as well as practical support to help indirectly in audience development: an endowment to create a 'rescue' fund and other donations.
The Trust's fund-raising aspect has supported HRO in ground-breaking audience-development projects in partnership with the Trust and other organisations including HLF (eg Hampshire Photographic Project and Access Hampshire Heritage). One such project, the Community Archives Project, Living Links, is currently playing an important role in developing community audiences including ethnic minority and hard to reach groups. It is hoped such work can be sustained beyond the life of the project (Jan 11).
6.2.2 Winchester Cathedral
The new partnership arrangement with Winchester Cathedral creates scope to develop audiences.
6.2.3 Local authorities
We preserve and make accessible the archives of a number of local authorities, some of which are HAT members; one – Winchester City Council (WCC) – contributes to the funding of the service. Through this arrangement we have developed strong links with WCC. Occasional visits, exhibitions and joint events with WCC have contributed to developing local audiences, and other opportunities have been explored.
6.2.4 Hampshire Genealogical Society (HGS)
As the county's leading family history organisation, HGS is one of HALS's key stakeholders, in view of the high number of family history users of HALS. We maintain a good relationship with the group, regularly consulting them, supporting their annual open day, giving talks to their local groups, and giving them special access to original documents to compile indexes which we make available for customers. They recently participated in the Family History Fair.
7. Wessex Film and Sound Archive
HRO is unique in local authorities as a resource for film and sound archives and Wessex Film and Sound Archive (WFSA) has built up an extremely significant collection – one of those highlighted in the Designation award. Film and sound are very popular, as evidenced by attendances at WFSA film-shows and the appeal of archive film shown on television; they can be enjoyed more immediately than many documents whose old writing can pose a barrier. They are a superb resource to be enjoyed by anyone. Such material is already used in education DVD compilations, exhibitions, TV and radio programmes, but this material has great further potential for audience development, resources permitting.
WFSA needs to look externally for support to realise this potential. The national Strategy for UK Screen Heritage is providing a way to support WFSA through a proposed regional archive development plan to digitise films, with 'Revitalising the Regions' funding. The creation of a national Digital Film Archive Fund is creating opportunities for WFSA material to be made accessible through partnership projects with a range of local organisations.
8 Services for young people
Our Archive Education Service provides a valuable resource for Hampshire schools and colleges, including developing learning materials, such as DVDs, linked to the National Curriculum. Increasingly the service works in partnership with educational organisations, museums and others, to develop a range of creative projects exploring learning. We also work with student teachers and advise local university students on research topics and methods.
Over the last several years we have developed a programme of family workshops throughout the year, mainly based at HRO but also at WDC and the Museums Service's Education Centre at Gosport, SEARCH.
The service has a role to play in delivering the government and corporate agendas for young people, including PUSH 4 Culture, Learning outside the Classroom and Cared for Children.
9. Wellbeing
Archives support wellbeing through enjoyment and learning; they can be powerful tools in reminiscence work, and can contribute to the development of skills, including numeracy and literacy.
10. Volunteers
Our Hampshire Archives Volunteers Scheme, launched in 2007, provides a formal framework for our long-held practice of enabling people to experience voluntary work within the service. This activity benefits both the individuals – through developing skills, enjoyment and learning – and also HALS, through useful work undertaken. There is scope for developing volunteer work further, both on and off site.
11. Digital technology
The value of our dynamic website has already been referred to. We have also started to explore video-conferencing in regard to work with schools. Digital technology is constantly evolving new ways to reach out to audiences and we need to take advantage of such means to engage with people, especially younger people who have an affinity with newer technologies.
12. Marketing activities and resources
Audience development can be significantly supported by marketing and promotional activity, which is therefore an important area of focus.
Marketing/ promoting of HALS falls within the remit of the Head of Access with the support of the Access and Learning Team. There is also a CCRA Marketing Manager and team.
HRO recently participated in After Value, a two-year partnership project by MLA South East and the audience development agency, amh, to improve the understanding of the marketing needs of museums, libraries and archives and devise sustainable means of meeting these needs.
This process gave the opportunity to consider the five identified steps in the marketing planning framework (goal setting, review, strategy setting, implementation and evaluation) in relation to HRO and resulted in identifying marketing objectives which are broadly incorporated within this audience development strategy.
HALS also took part in After Value II (2007-08), which sought to support a number of the participating organisations, including HALS, in the implementation step of the marketing planning framework.
In view of the recent integration of archives and local studies, the key activity identified for this purpose was branding and communications and specifically the planned preview events for customers prior to reopening the service. Options for further product development were also explored; some of these have already been acted on and others are incorporated into this strategy. A follow-up evaluation meeting with amh took place in summer 08, and the HRO/HALS case study was recorded on the MLA South East widely distributed legacy DVD.
HALS is proactive in writing press releases and has the support of the CCRA Press Officer to promulgate these to the press. HALS collections abound in stories and there is endless scope for supplying these to the press. We also contribute a regular, monthly column to the Hampshire Chronicle, a regular article on history of place to HCC's Hampshire Now (circulated to all Hampshire households), and regular articles and reports to a number of local journals, all of which are well-received. There is scope for circulating the same regular reports (eg on newly-received collections and events) more widely, particularly to local history society journals.
We advertise events through the departmental web events listing and online newsletter, the Museums and Archives brochure, our own events leaflet and a variety of local publications and a number of websites, and we circulate our events leaflet and posters to targeted sites including departmental venues such as libraries and museums. We have no budget to produce our events leaflet other than in photocopy format but our recent purchase of Publisher software has enabled us to upgrade this leaflet and other promotional resources, subject to resources.
As already mentioned, we have recently gained departmental help to analyse postcodes with a view to building up a better understanding of our user profile in order to enable specific targeting, where resources permit, of both existing and non or low users. Data needs to continue to be gathered, analysed and the results reported, monitored and, where feasible, used for audience development purposes, with the recognition that HALS has no budget for advertising.
13. Evaluation
Evaluation is helpful in determining whether the services/ events we provide meet the needs of our audiences, shaping future developments, making the case for developments, making improvements and identifying how people find out about us, so that we can make best use of advertising methods. We seek regular informal feedback from search room visitors and conduct the PSQG survey detailed above, and we evaluate some of our activities and events through brief questionnaires. To make best use of such feedback we need to ensure we use a framework that focuses on outcomes, such as Generic Learning/Social Outcomes.
14. Consultation
We consult twice a year with our Customer Liaison Group (CLG) and annually with the Hampshire Genealogical Society, we undertake the PSQG visitor survey every 18 months and provide opportunities for our on-site and web visitors to give feedback at any time. We also consult periodically in other ways such as via our support organisation, Hampshire Archives Trust, or through other networks such as the recent Living Links survey of community organisations.
We need to ensure those we consult with are representative of our customer base and also of those who are not yet customers. To this end we ensure we recruit appropriate members for our CLG, including a non user, although this has proved difficult to achieve. Following integration with Local Studies we recruited a former Local Studies customer whose input has already proved helpful.

EVESHAM overwhelmed basement boys Inkberrow 4-0 in week 12 of the Wildmoor Spa Men's Tennis League.
They remained in second place one point ahead of Ardencote Manor, who beat Henley-in-Arden 4-0, while champions Stratford defeated mid-table Alcester 3-1.
Littletons kept up a two-point lead over relegation-threatened Claverdon after a 2-2 draw.
Evesham's Simon Wall and Paul Everatt beat Inkberrow's Nick Brookes and Gordon Keir 6-3, 6-2 and Jim Richardson and Chris Dixon 7-6, 3-6, 1-0 (10-5).
Ray Foster-Morison and Chris Francis defeated Richardson and Dixon 6-3, 6-4 and Brookes and Keir 6-3, 6-3.
Claverdon's Pete Thomas and James Courier lost their opening clash 6-4, 6-1 to Littletons' Sean Witheford and Dave Rudge but beat Chris Elliott and Richard Herborne 7-5, 6-4.
Captain Richard Butler and Andy Ashley defeated Elliott and Herborne 6-4, 6-4 but went down to Witheford and Rudge 4-6, 6-1, 1-0 (10-7) in a close encounter.
Bottom-of-the-table Shipston-on-Stour held leaders Studley 'A' 2-2 in a major Division One surprise.
The other fixture was a more predictable draw between Snitterfield and Aston Cantlow. Second-placed Pershore were without a game.
In Division Two, Whitnash again made a challenge for promotion with a 3-1 victory over Bidford-on-Avon 'A', who are just one point above the relegation zone.
They are only three points behind leaders Moreton-in-Marsh 'A', who did not play.
The second Division Three promotion place is still being claimed by Inkberrow 'B' despite a 2-2 draw with likely relegation candidates Chipping Campden 'B'.
Fourth-placed Wildmoor Spa 'B' claimed an important victory over the team just below them in Ilmington, who are being dragged into a relegation battle.
In Division Four, high-flying Studley 'C' saw off Littleton 'B' 3-1 in a rearranged match.
Chipping Campden 'C' had no fixture but results around them confirmed their relegation.
Littleton's home draw with mid-table Claverdon was little consolation as they will drop too.
Pershore 'B', with a 4-0 win over third-placed Inkberrow 'C', climbed back to the top of Division Five by a solitary point from HDA 'B' .
Both, however, are almost assured of promotion as the gap from second to third spot is now eight points.
Fourth-placed Moreton 'B' drew 2-2 with Wildmoor Spa 'B' in sixth, while Bidford 'B' triumphed 3-1 over bottom side Inkberrow 'D'.

Once again, the word of the day in the NHL lockout is "no."
The sides met Tuesday to discuss the definition of hockey-related revenue—and ended the session after about two hours without making any headway toward a deal.
IN PICTURES: 15 Shades of Gary: The many faces of the commissioner
"Today wasn't overly encouraging that's for sure," deputy commissioner Bill Daly told reporters. "No progress to report. No progress was made."
And no future negotiations were scheduled.
The NHL regular season was to start Oct. 11. All exhibition games were canceled last Thursday, and the preseason schedule lasted until Oct. 8. You don't need more than a calendar to deduce regular-season postponements are coming, likely this week. There's no consensus on how exactly the league would go about doing that, but in two-week blocks is one widely circulated theory.
In the meantime, Daly said the league has already lost about $100 million by canceling the preseason.
"That is not going to be recouped and that's going to cost both sides," Daly said. "That's unfortunate but it's a reality of where we are."
He also again blamed the stalemate on the NHLPA's unwillingness to compromise on the topic of the revenue split; players currently receive 57 percent of the league's $3.3 billion-and-growing pie, and owners want to dramatically reduce that number—apparently, before meaningful negotiations actually resume.
"What we have repeatedly tried to communicate is that we need to hear from them to move this process along," Daly wrote in an email to The Associated Press. "And we do think that's the only thing that is going to allow us to gain traction. But that doesn't mean we stop everything we're doing and simply wait around for a proposal."
The NHLPA, in turn, says there's no reason the next move can't come from the owners.
The league's last offer, which came Sept. 12, eventually gave the players 47 percent. The players' plan is a little more complicated and ties their share to projected growth, but they say it would leave them with 52 percent.
What makes the situation funnier—or more tragic, depending on your perspective—is that the first theoretical season remains the main battleground. That season, day by day, is disappearing. After that, both move closer to a 50/50 split.
"They have made some incremental moves," said NHLPA executive Donald Fehr, who expects to informally talk with commissioner Gary Bettman by Wednesday. "It's clear that the players have made substantial moves toward the owners and the owners have made substantial moves away from the players."
Naturally, NHLPA special Steve Fehr disputed Daly's notion that no progress had been made.
"I don't know (that) I would agree with (that) phrase," he said. "Talks can resume anytime they're ready."

Despite three home runs, Astros fall to Angels
Sipp gives up walk-off HR; Singleton, Springer and Carter each go deep
ANAHEIM -- Astros reliever Tony Sipp executed the pitch he wanted, throwing an 0-2 slider that was down and out of the strike zone. With Mike Trout at the plate, it hardly mattered.
The Astros lost for the first time this season when hitting at least three homers, thanks to an unusually rough outing by starter Dallas Keuchel, a blown save by the bullpen and a walk-off homer by Trout that sent the Angels to a 7-6 win Friday night at Angel Stadium.
Trout launched his 20th homer of the season, a laser to left-center field off Sipp, to lead off the ninth and send the Astros to their fifth consecutive loss.
"He's one of the best players in the game for a reason," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "He went down and he got it. It's one of those things where you see the pitch and you see the swing and you say to yourself, 'There's not many players in our game that can do what he did to that pitch.'"
Sipp, who allowed a run for only the third time in his 24 outings, said he simply got beat with his best stuff.
"I'm not mad about that pitch," he said. "If you asked me if that was the location I wanted beforehand, I would have said, 'Yeah.' He's just a really good player and went down and got the pitch. It's one of those. What do you do?"
It was the second walk-off homer this season for Trout, who has hits in 34 of his last 38 games.
"The adrenaline rush you get when it goes out, it's something special," he said. "And just to help the team win, especially at home, with all the fans tonight, special night for everybody."
The Astros clubbed three home runs of of Angels starter C.J. Wilson, including a two-run shot by George Springer and a three-run blast by Jon Singleton in a five-run fourth inning to take a 6-3 lead, but the Angels clawed back and tied it in the seventh on a Howie Kendrick RBI double.
The Angels' bullpen bailed out Wilson by holding the Astros to one hit in 4 2/3 scoreless innings.
What set up as perhaps being a pitchers' duel between Keuchel and Wilson turned into a slugfest in which neither went beyond the fifth inning. Keuchel, making one final start to pad his All-Star resume, gave up a career-high 13 hits and allowed five runs in five innings.
"That was very disappointing on my part," he said. "The offense did more than enough and should have came out with a win. I just didn't do my part and didn't really make the necessary pitches to get out of some. I haven't been too good as of late. I have to go back to the drawing board and figure some stuff out and try to get ahead of some guys and make some quality pitches."
The damage against Keuchel could have been worse had the defense not bailed him out.
Rookie shortstop Enrique Hernandez (3-for-4) ran down a ball in center to end the first inning and strand the bases loaded, and he started a terrific double play in the hole to end the fifth. The Astros turned another key double play with the bases loaded in the third, an inning that ended with L.J. Hoes throwing out a runner at home to preserve a run.
"I can't say enough about those guys," Keuchel said. "Kiké made a couple of good plays. The defense has been there all year. That's been one our strong points. L.J. had the great throw there, too, in the outfield. I felt lucky to get out of there with five innings."
Wilson retired nine of the first 10 batters he faced, giving up a solo homer to Chris Carter in the second, before starting the fourth by allowing five consecutive hits, capped by Singleton's three-run blast to right field that put the Astros ahead 6-3.
Albert Pujols' 510th career homer -- 44th against the Astros -- got the Angels to within a run, 6-5, in the fourth inning.
"It was a battle for him pretty much the entire night," Porter said. "But Dallas battled and was able to give us five innings and left in position to win the ballgame."

LeBlanc (League of Legends) – Cosplay of the Day
We think it's high time to feature another League of Legends cosplayer. Let's take a look at LeBlanc, the Deceiver in today's Cosplay of the Day.
LeBlanc hails from the dark city-state of Noxus and is a dark magician with whom you do not want to trifle. This sorceress has a darkness about her, as if she was an evil queen from an old fairy tale.
Here as LeBlanc is ExileFayt, dressed up in the character's Prestigious skin, which makes her look more like a stage magician than a sorceress. Her face paint makes her look almost malevolent, even though ExileFayt herself looks very pleasant. It's a strange mix that actually kinda works for us.
See more of ExileFayt's great cosplay work on deviantART and let us know if she was able to cast a spell on you.
Want your Cosplay to be seen? Send your info to firstname.lastname@example.com and we may feature you in our Cosplay of the Day!

For Discriminating Retail Investors
It has been a fairly dismal second quarter for apparel retailers. For every Gap (GPS) that reports earnings that provide investors with encouragement, there is a Macy's (M) that reports disappointing results and guidance. The teen retailing space is a disaster, judging from the results from American Eagle (AEO), Aeropostale (ARO) and Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF).
I am underweight the sector as retail sales are growing at about 2%, year-over-year, right now and retail traffic in U.S. stores has declined for eight of the last 10 weeks, according to ShopperTrak. With the overall retailing sector having run up some 25% over the last year, the area looks somewhat overbought to me. However, some apparel retailers are bucking the trend by reporting results that are beating expectations. Here are two retailers that have reported positive results and look attractive -- especially if we see another dip in the market....346 more words left in this article.

Critics' jobs often fall under the category of saying when someone got something wrong. The 66th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations, announced Thursday morning, pretty much got things right — at least as right as possible in the swiftly changing world of television.
Not long ago, the outstanding comedy series category was dominated by sitcoms, which were once filled with rooms of joke writers who worked on the premise of a gag a minute and a zinger before the commercial break. Two of this year's nominees — CBS's "The Big Bang Theory" and ABC's "Modern Family" — are more or less holdovers from that tradition, which were traditionally nominated by network shows. The big news this year, but hardly unexpected, was the inclusion of "Orange is the New Black," which picked up 12 nominations.
Putting "Orange" in the category is a bit like advertising "Waiting for Godot" as a comedy. The absurdist play by Samuel Beckett has a number of dark jokes — but a laugh a minute, no. "Orange," which takes place in a women's prison, has its absurdly funny moments but also often serves up some fairly ghastly stuff and tough social commentary. This is not "Hogan's Heroes," which turned a Nazi prisoner of war camp into a slapstick show, never really acknowledging thousands were dying in World War II and death chambers in concentration camps were being built.
Yet "Orange" illustrates how our definitions of comedy and drama have changed. I suspect in the future, shows like this will become more difficult to categorize.
The hour-long "Orange" doesn't even broadcast in the traditional way. It is streamed on Netflix, where viewers can watch all of a season's episodes at once. Obviously, the Television Academy has opened its eyes to the new realities by including the series, created by Jenji Kohan, as one of the top comedies.
More and more, the Emmys have begun to embrace what people are really watching (Netflix received 31 nominations). The crazy-quilt television world is nearly impossible to sort out these days anyway. Network watchers gave way to cable watchers, which, even 15 years ago, Emmy folks had trouble dealing with. Now, people watch shows on their phones and portable devices. Appointment television is long gone. Other than a sporting event, I can't think of the last time I sat down and watched something at its designated time slot.
So it was nice to see a lot of what would have once been considered unconventional fare, like IFC's "Portlandia" and "The Spoils of Babylon" or Netfix's "Derek" being nominated. Yes, congrats to "Orange's'" Taylor Schilling and "Masters of Sex's" Lizzy Caplan for their first nominations. I love that Sarah Paulson, who was so evil in the Oscar-winning "12 Years a Slave," was nominated for lead actress in a miniseries or movie for her role in "American Horror Story: Coven" on FX, a show I wasn't particularly fond of but was fascinated with her performance.
Critics and TV watchers will likely spend the day toting up supposed winners and losers in the Emmy race. The truth is that a nomination or win rarely keeps a show on no matter how good it is if no one is watching. HBO's "True Detective" and "Game of Thrones" are obviously quality television and deserve to be on any lists, but there remains far too many categories, some I don't pretend to understand. I mean, what award show also has nominations for other award shows?
The Primetime Emmys will air Aug. 25 on NBC, hosted by Seth Meyers.

Now that Ben Affleck is squaring off against Henry Cavill's Superman – the "Argo" star is getting serious about his Batbody!
According to Us Weekly, the 41-year-old father of three has been hitting the gym daily to create his superhero physique. The actor is reportedly training for two hours a day to prep for the – what we can only imagine will be a – physically demanding role.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Warner Bros. put one of Hollywood's hottest casting rumors to rest on Thursday when they announced that Ben will debut as the superhero in the upcoming Superman/Batman film – a role previously played on the big screen by Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney and Christian Bale.
PHOTOS: Hot Shots Of Ben Affleck
"Affleck and filmmaker Zack Snyder will create an entirely new incarnation of the character in Snyder's as-yet-untitled project — bringing Batman and Superman together for the first time on the big screen and continuing the director's vision of their universe, which he established in "Man of Steel,'" Warner Bros. said in a release late Thursday.
Following the big announcement, Snyder shared his joy over the selection.
PHOTOS: Scenes From 'Man Of Steel'
"Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry's Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can't wait to work with him," the director said in a statement.
Other stars who had reportedly been up for the role of The Dark Knight included Orlando Bloom, Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin, Armie Hammer, Joe Manganiello, Max Martini and Matthew Goode, among others.
The new film is expected to begin production in 2014, with a July 17, 2015 release date announced.
VOTE: What do you think of Ben Affleck as the new Batman?
Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Superman, with "Man of Steel" stars Amy Adams, Diane Lane and Laurence Fishburne also returning for the next installment.

Last week, reports flew through over the internet and the social media universe that cows in Texas were dying from eating genetically modified grass. To make it worse, they died of cyanide poisoning! What was not clearly explained was that drought-stressed grasses create prussic acid, which is cyanide. It is a natural process, not something created in a Frankenstein's laboratory of GM plants.
Mainstream media was quick to point out the sensationalism by capitalizing on the word cyanide as opposed to prussic acid poisoning. Throw in some GMO terminology and you have a recipe for a panic in the making thanks to mainstream media.
The grass called into question is Tifton-85, which is a Bermuda grass. It is not genetically modified. However, thanks to the media story, the wrong information is now circulating the internet, raising alarm and frightening people over something that does not exist.
Fortunately, there has been a voice of reason this week. The American Medical Association has announced that it does not support the labeling of foods containing GM ingredients. The scientists said, "there is no scientific justification for special labeling of bioengineered foods, as a class, and that voluntary labeling is without value unless it is focused on consumer education."
Despite its science-based approach, critics claim the AMA is being duplicitous because on one hand it says there is no difference in GM and non-GM food, but it supports GM foods be tested for public health and that the government have continued oversight of bioengineered crops and livestock.
Continually testing GM crops and animals is a good idea. If the government didn't, the anti-GM crowd would clamor for it. In this case, the anti-GM groups are being duplicitous. They don't want GMOs, but they want GMO foods tested. In the meantime, it's easier to just scare everyone into thinking everything that grows out of the ground can be potentially harmful to humans and livestock.
In the end, shoddy journalism and a rush to sensationalism won the day and scared the public. It convinced people that some man-made, super weeds were deliberately poisoning cattle. This is a story that never should have happened in the way it did. That it did is embarrassing.

HAYWARD — A woman walking back to her car inside the Hayward BART parking lot was hit but not seriously injured by a thief driving away in her vehicle.
Authorities said the woman was returning to her car at 3:13 p.m. when she noticed that the vehicle's lights were on and it was moving. The thief clipped the woman with her vehicle, a two-door light blue Honda Prelude, and sped away.
BART police Lieutenant Randy Gregson said the victim was checked out by Hayward police and declined treatment.
The male suspect is not in custody and the car has not been recovered.

Have you ever wondered when your house was built, who was the first city mayor or what Memphis was like during World War II? You can find these answers and so much more in a special room on the fourth floor at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library. Established in 1971, the Memphis and Shelby County Room contains a wealth of primary sources on the history of our city and county.
What are primary sources? They are original records created at the time a historical event occurred. For example the diary of a Memphian who fought in the Civil War, a map of Memphis in 1900, an 1880 photograph of Main Street, the memoirs of a television journalist who covered the Civil Rights movement, newspaper articles describing the death of Elvis Presley in 1977, and the remembrances of a founder of the Universal Life Insurance Company are all primary sources housed in the Memphis and Shelby County Room.
The Memphis and Shelby County Room houses thousands of books, reports, pamphlets, 600 maps, 35,000 photographs and hundreds of oral histories. In addition, the Memphis and Shelby County Room contains the Memphis Information File which contains 400,000 vertical files of newspaper and magazine articles, pamphlets and other small items. The files are organized by subject and there is a card file index for easy searching.
Some of the most interesting primary sources in the Memphis and Shelby County Room are its manuscript collections. Manuscript collections are an assortment of items such as correspondence, photographs, maps, financial records, contracts, and newspaper clippings of individuals and organizations. For example the library has the manuscript collections of Memphis political boss E. H. Crump, civil rights pioneer Maxine A. Smith, musician Jerry Lee Lewis, the Goldsmith's Department Store, Rabbi James Wax, the Piggly Wiggly grocery store chain and Church of God in Christ leader E. W. Mason.
All of the primary sources in the Memphis and Shelby County Room are waiting for you to come and search through them. You will be surprised at what you learn about your own hometown.

Hugh Dancy & Raul Esparza In NBC's HANNIBAL Debuts 4/4
Recent VENUS IN FURS lead Hugh Dancy and Broadway leading man Raul Esparza will lend their titanic theatrical talent and TV-friendly faces to collaborate on the small screen on NBC's HANNIBAL, which NBC has just announced will premiere on Thursday, April 4 at 10 PM.
HANNIBAL depicts the earlier life of famed psychiatrist and cannibal Hannibal Lector, originally played by Anthony Hopkins in the multi-Academy Award-winning feature film THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, which was followed up with a sequel, HANNIBAL, and a prequel, Red Dragon, all based on the novels by Thomas Harris. Additionally, Harris most recently wrote HANNIBAL RISING, a novel depicting the childhood of the central antagonist/protagonist of the novels.
NBC's HANNIBAL TV series follows Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and his interactions with confidant/mentor Hannibal Lector (Mads Mikkelsen) and takes place a few years prior to the events in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, largely focused on the Red Dragon era years when Lector worked alongside the FBI to track the most dangerous and violent serial killers.
Esparza, who will portray the psychiatric institute's crooked quack of a captain, Dr. Chilton, joins a starry supporting cast that also includes Laurence Fishburne as Will Graham's tough-taking boss Jack Crawford and Gillian Anderson as Dr. Lector's psychiatrist (a role not represented in the novels).
HANNIBAL was created by PUSHING DAISIES mastermind Bryan Fuller and is rumoroed to feature some other DAISIES collaborators besides Esparza, as well, with roles for Ellen Greene and Molly Shannon, though their participation has not been confirmed.
More information on the upcoming series is available in the EW article here.

An overwhelming 60.2 per cent of Australians travelled to work by car. Photo: Paul Rovere
Australians are staying put, despite the mining boom and talk of moving west.
Today's second release of census data shows a near record 84.1 per cent of Australians reported sleeping in the same home on census night 2011 as they did a year before - up from 83 per cent five years earlier.
The proportion who had been in the same home for five years climbed from 57 per cent to 58.3 per cent. The proportion who had moved from overseas in the past five years jumped from 4.8 to 6.4 per cent, but the proportion who had moved within Australia slid from 38 to 34.8 per cent.
More Australians are employed in the mining industry, but the proportion is still low: 1.8 per cent of workers, up from 1.4 per cent five years earlier.
The biggest gains in employment have been in the healthcare and social assistance industry, which took on an extra 211,500 workers compared with mining's 69,700.
Healthcare and social assistance now employs 11.6 per cent of the Australian workforce, up from 10.5 per cent.
Retailing has become less important, employing 10.5 per cent of the workforce, down from 11.3 per cent. Manufacturing employs 9 per cent of Australian workers, down from 10.5 per cent and slipping below 10 per cent of the workforce for the first time.
The workforce is becoming more professional and less closely managed. More than 21 per cent of workers were in professional jobs in 2011, up from 20 per cent five years earlier. A growing majority of those professional workers were women (up from 52.9 to 53.9 per cent).
Managers account for 12.9 per cent of workers, down from 13.2 per cent. (The proportion of women in management has climbed to a record 35.4 per cent.)
The second wave of census data shows we are not only less likely to move house, but also less likely to use our feet to get to work. The proportion of Australians walking to work fell from 4 to 3.7 per cent, while those cycling to work stayed steady at 1 per cent.
An overwhelming 60.2 per cent of Australians travelled to work by car, with a further 5.3 per cent making the trip as car passengers.

Charlotte gets a couple of savvy veterans in Ford and Stevenson who would fit in well with what Larry Brown likes. Ford would backup a cheaper Felton, who they own Bird rights for and would be able to retain. They take on an extra 2.3M this year and only another 2-3M total for this deal. They get two cheap pieces to make a playoff push this year.
Washington gets a bunch of cap relief this year. They save 3.6M this year which doubles because of the LT. They also save about 2-3M over the course of this deal, but their biggest key is taking money off of this year's cap number, so they can at least get close enough to make another trade to get under the tax threshold.
Indiana gets a young player in DJ Augustin and a couple of expiring contracts for probably the best player in the whole deal in TJ. The other players are mostly just shuffling of contracts. We may have to compensate Washington with a second rounder or cash. This rectifies our 2011 cap number situation and gets us a young player who is very much out of favor on his current team. The competition between Price and Augustin will hopefully provide us our PG rotation of the future.

Apportioned Registration
TxDMV has a program for licensing commercial vehicles engaged in interstate operations. Apportioned registration, also known as the International Registration Plan (IRP), lets you obtain registration credentials in one jurisdiction, giving you the freedom of interstate travel without the inconvenience and expense of purchasing trip permits.
How to Apply
All apportioned accounts are maintained in our online system, TxIRP. If this is your first time to obtain Apportioned registration on your vehicles, please visit your local TxDMV Regional Service Center to set-up your registration account.
Once your account is set-up, you may make changes to and renew your registration using one of the following methods:
Apply online through TxIRP. If you do not have a user name and password for TxIRP, send us an email or call (512) 374-5250.
- Visit one of the TxDMV Regional Service Centers, or
- Mail renewal and/or supplemental applications to Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, Motor Carrier Division – IRP Renewal, P.O. Box 26440, Austin, TX 78755-0440.
Information for New Customers
Information for Existing Customers
TxIRP Renewal Instruction Booklet
As a result of House Bill 2305 passed during the 83rd legislative session, the State of Texas stopped issuing inspection stickers and transitioned to a "Two Steps, One Sticker" vehicle inspection and registration program. Since March 1, 2015, your vehicle is no longer issued an inspection sticker and your cab card or registration receipt will serve as proof of inspection and registration. If you have any questions or need assistance, please call our office at 1-888-368-4689; or visit us online at www.TwoStepsOneSticker.com/motor-carriers.
Fees and Payment Information
Registration fees are calculated based on distance percentages for each jurisdiction in which your vehicle or fleet operates.
Fees are payable by personal check, business check, cashier's check or money order in person, online via electronic check (ACH), or credit card (a service charge of 25 cents plus 2.25 percent will be added).
More Information
If the gross vehicle weight of your vehicle is 55,000 pounds or more, Federal law requires that proof of payment of the Federal Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) be provided at time of vehicle registration.
As an apportioned carrier, you are required to maintain detailed operational records in order to renew your apportioned registration each year. Base jurisdictions are required to examine an average of 3% of the number of renewed fleets each year to ensure compliance with the IRP and to guarantee that the proper revenues are being collected for each jurisdiction. As a result, every motor carrier registered with the TxIRP will be subject to a compliance examination of their operational records.
Apportioned tow trucks must also maintain registration through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).

Origin of life
Discussion of everything related to the Theory of Evolution.
Moderator: BioTeam
So if the capacity to test is not yet available, then you just have to wait it out - but the parts of the hypothesis that are supported by observation can be viewed as workable.
Have you read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance?" (Very cool book.)
There's a place where the son keeps telling his (scientist) father about a friend whose grandmother firmly believes in ghosts. The father always says, "No there's no such thing as ghosts," until the son mentions that the grandmother is a Native American. Then the father says, "Oh, well, in that case, of course there are ghosts." Because "ghosts" are her "working hypothesis" for describing observable phenomena, such as wind, gravity, etc. Her interpretation anthropomorphizes these forces, something we view as primitive, but for her purposes, it works.
Wind and gravity can be tested scientifically without the connection to anything that "creates" them. Both phenomena give emperical evidence allowing us to study the natural mechanisms that cause them. Evolution is not so due to its insistence on a creative force that breaks the rules of science. A force that "creates" is DIFFERENT than a force that transfers energy or attracts.
As for an "interpretation" of the creative forces behind creation or evolution, that is exactly the problematic outcomes of studying origins of life and the species using science. Creationists and evolutionists are guilty of this.
I still don't quite get it. Biotchr, you have yet to present a legitimate, scientific objection to evolution. Just because you claim it's all biased doesn't mean a thing, and just saying "All of it," accomplishes little. Give us a list of scientific objections, like Springer used to do when he wasn't talking about a designer. If you really think it's biased, then please give us a scientific objection, and then claim that we're biased for not believing it. That might not be completely right, but it's a lot better than saying we're biased and just leaving it at that.
Generally speaking, the more people talk about "being saved," the further away they actually are from true salvation.

I'm not an expert, but I've read through some of this thread and I haven't seen anything to help clear up what's so great about ID. I heard on the news that in Kansas they'll be teaching it in the classrooms, and I've read about some of the theories like irreducible complexity (sp?) and stuff, but it all seems so subjective.
Like the whole thing about the bacterial flagellum and stuff. I'm a microbio major and we had almost a whole month about precursors to the flagellum, how the little parts that make it up were used for different things like transferring dna and spreading pathogens and stuff, and that's in bacteria that still EXIST! But I read in the newspaper about the bacterial flagellum having to be produced all at once to work in an article about ID. Why?
I'm sorry, but I just don't see what's so great about it. Sounds like a bunch of crap.
Certain groups of people feel their beliefs are being challenged and that the "other side" is winning. They feel that their beliefs should be taught alongside scientific theory, in order to give students "perspective".
The Catholic Church has officially renounced ID as science, and I hope the other denominations will follow suit. Personally I don't have a problem with a science teacher spending a period talking about how it's entirely possible that the earth was created in one way or another. It is, after all, part of the scientific method to consider all possibilities. However, to have these teachers make entire curricula on ID and call it science, is something else entirely.
This isn't the first time that science has tread upon the toes of beliefs and cultural ideals, nor will it be the last.

- How to Read a Study Record
The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of metoclopramide in relieving the symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).
It is our hypothesis that the combined antiemetic and analgesic effects of metoclopramide (which has been study-proven to be effective in relieving symptoms of migraine headache) will prove to be more efficacious in relieving symptoms of acute mountain sickness than the standard, previously-studied analgesic medication, ibuprofen.
|Acute Mountain Sickness High Altitude Headache
|Drug: Ibuprofen Drug: Metoclopramide
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Triple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Acute Mountain Sickness Treatment: A Double-blind Comparison of Metoclopramide vs. Ibuprofen
- Headache and Nausea Visual Analog Scales [ Time Frame: 120 minutes ]Subjects will complete 100mm visual analog scales of both headache and nausea at time zero, 30, 60, and 120 minutes after taking the study medication. Visual analog scales are a valid assessment of symptom severity for acute mountain sickness.
- Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Score [ Time Frame: 120 minutes ]Subjects will take the Lake Louise Acute Mountains Sickness score before taking the medication and 120 minutes after taking the medication. The Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Score is a standard measure of the severity of acute mountain sickness and is commonly used in studies involving acute mountain sickness.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|March 2012
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|March 2017
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|March 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Metoclopramide
150 subjects with acute mountain sickness will be randomly assigned to take metoclopramide.
Drug: Metoclopramide
Metoclopramide 10mg tablet. Take one tablet by mouth.
Other Name: Reglan
Active Comparator: Ibuprofen
150 subjects with acute mountain sickness will be randomly assigned to take ibuprofen.
Drug: Ibuprofen
Ibuprofen 400mg tablet. Take one dose by mouth.

Detailed Description:
Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a well described disease process that occurs as a result of rapid exposure to high altitude. High altitude headache (HAH) is defined as the presence of headache in the setting of a recent increase in altitude. When HAH is associated with nausea, vomiting, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, lightheadedness or poor sleeping, AMS is diagnosed. While benign, AMS is very common, afflicting up to 80 % of travelers who ascend rapidly to 14,000 ft, and can be debilitating. AMS is thought to occur secondary to hypoxia-induced cerebral vasodilation. The antiemetic metoclopramide has been well studied and is commonly administered for treatment of migraine headaches in emergency departments across the U.S. The symptoms of migraine headaches are often similar to those of AMS. The mechanism of metoclopramide"s beneficial effect in this indication appear to be a result of its antagonism of central and peripheral dopamine receptors,most notably by blocking stimulation of the medullary chemoreceptor trigger zone. No studies have yet evaluated the potential benefits of metoclopramide for the relief of AMS. In contrast, ibuprofen has been well studied and found to be an effective treatment for the relief of symptoms of high altitude headache and AMS.
The study will be a convenience sample of trekkers traveling through the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal during the 3 month time period of March-May, 2012. Subjects will be recruited from visitors to Manang, Nepal staying in local hostels, those visiting the Himalayan Rescue Association clinic in Manang, and those responding to locally posted signage regarding study enrollment.
Eligible patients will be consented and enrolled in the study. Patients will be randomized to receive either Ibuprofen 400mg or Metoclopramide 10mg by mouth. Investigators will be blinded as to which arm of the study the patient is enrolled. Participants will be assessed by Lake Louise Score and Visual Analog Scale for headache and nausea severity immediately prior to ingestion of study medication, and then serially at 30, 60, and 120 minutes following medication ingestion. Standard statistical analysis of the Lake Louise AMS scores and visual analog scales will be used to determine which medication is more effective in treating acute mountain sickness.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
