Looking at new listings on Redfin today and saw the duplex below. According to the sales history it was sold at a foreclosure auction for $105K. A few renovations and 6 months later and the asking price is $280K.
Was this house actually sold for $105K? Where is a (legitimate) source I can find out when and where these foreclosure auctions happen? Even the before pic (from Google street view) shows the house didn't look that bad.
I would have gladly written a check for this house at this amount. I know a little about how it works (have to have cashiers check, do your own title research, can't look at the inside of the house - anything else?) but I'm sure I'm missing some of the finer points (such as bidding collusion, associating with/being intimidated by scumbag flippers, etc.) Do they release a list of houses they are going to auction beforehand?
Any advice and comments welcome. And, hey, I'm just looking to owner occupy. No flipping aspirations here.

Hi,my name is Aroob and I love New York. I've been to Macy's, M&M World, and Manhattan. All these places are what makes New York special.
I love New York because we have the most malls! When I come to Macy's (my favorite mall) I could just smell all the food. It makes me hungry. Every time we go to Macy's we always buy pretzels or pretzel bits. They taste better than any other pretzel in the world. Next, my mom and I check out all the stores like, Claire's, Justice, Children's Place,and Build-A-Bear Workshop. Even though there are so many wonderful shops, I love going to Build-A-Bear Workshop. But, that's another story. This is why I love New York.

NorthWood HS renovation will secure main entrance
Click here to view in a gallery.
NorthWood High School will likely have a new, more secure entrance by the end of this year. Plans include closing off the courtyard area in front of the school with a new main entrance, which will house the school�s main office. (Truth Photo By Ryan Dorgan)
Wa-Nee Superintendent Joe Sabo said that the school board has been talking about renovating the high school�s entrance for several years.
�We get a lot of visitors,� Sabo said. Currently, those visitors are buzzed in to the building, then walk several yards down a hallway to get to the school�s office.
Sabo explained that the renovated entrance will include a new office that all visitors have to pass through to access the rest of the building. There, visitors will sign in and get a pass to be in the school.
Altogether, the project will cost less than $2 million, Sabo said. The school board will open bids for the project Feb. 19, with construction slated to begin in April. Sabo said that the project will hopefully be finished by December 2013.
�The reason for doing this is building security,� Sabo said.
Nappanee Elementary had the same issue of an office away from the main entrance until the school was renovated a few years ago, Sabo said.
Sometime after the project, the school corporation will likely renovate the original office into classroom space. First, though, comes the construction of the new office and entrance with several more layers of security.
�We�re very happy about that,� Sabo said.

The House Veterans' Affairs Committee chairman opened investigations on Veterans Affairs Department's recent conferences held in Las Vegas and in Arizona, NextGov reported Aug. 28.
Chairman Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) said his committee added the conferences to its list of other conferences under review. Those conferences were held in 2011 in Orlando and cost an estimated $5.3 million. Miller also said he plans to hold a hearing in September on conference spending.
Miller said the department has spent too much money on conferences.

My 2 year old daughter got this for her 2nd birthday and i thought it was adorable. That was until i put it together. It is very cute, but it is small, very flimsy and it is not at all as good as i thought it would be. I think it should have more things on it, like a microwave and cabinets. It is an ok kitchen,but so not worth the money.

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
We absolutely loved the look of the product... but when we got it home to put it together there was broken and cracked parts. So, we took it back to the store to exchange for another one, only to get that one home and it was also cracked. I'm under the impression that the product was not made with sustainable material... Very unhappy! Stuck without a birthday gift for my daughter now!!!!!

I bought this Minnie Mouse kitchen for my 2 year old a year ago as a Christmas Present. The moment she opened it, she was ecstatic! She loves to pretend baking cupcakes that come along with it (plastic of course) & pretend tea time. It needs batteries, but I'd say it is a great buy! Especially if your little one loves Minnie Mouse!

Valken Proton Paintball Gun - Pink / Black
Valken Proton Paintball Gun - Pink / Black
Valken's new entry to the paintball gun market has come in. I was surprised at how nice this marker feels. I have never been a big fan of the Invert Mini or Empire Axe paintball guns because they feel to small. I was expecting the same from the new Valken Proton but I was wrong. The weight and size of the two guns are vary close but the one thing that makes the Proton fell a lot better to me is the front grip is extended out from the rear grip more then the Mini or Axe. This eliminates the super small fell that the Axe and Mini have and I love the fell of it.
With the Valken Proton paintball gun you get
Five Mode of Fire - Semi-Automatic, Three Shot Burst, Full Automatic, and Two types of Rampping.
Brake-Beam Eyes with Eye Shields that prevent dirt and paint from getting to the sensors.
Easy to Maintenance with Tool-less Bolt disassembly
Ultra-Smooth Dual-Bearing Trigger with Four way Adjustments.
Aggressive Body Milling and Styling
Autococker Barrel Threads
Cam-Lock Clamping Feed Neck
On/Off ASA with Air Purge
Adjustable Regulator inside the Grip Frame
No external Air Lines or Hoses
New Style "Push/Pull" on/off Button
As you can see the Valken Proton is a fully loaded paintball gun that should preform extremely well out of the box. With many features of the high end paintball guns like the Dye DM12 and Eclipse Ego, but at less then half the cost.

A novel about a jilted bride who's about to discover that not marrying the wrong man can sometimes lead you to the right one.
When Tallulah gets jilted at the altar, she gets very drunk and starts making passes at the male wedding guests. She even propositions the caterer. But in the next few weeks, reality comes crashing down around her. Her difficult mother becomes more impossible than ever. Her lesbian sister starts trying to have a baby. Nana Ida gets busy matchmaking. What Tallulah is about to discover is that happiness doesn't always come in the form of the perfect doctor- and that sometimes real love doesn't require a catered affair. |

By the time you read this there will be another competitor for U.S. Treasury futures business as NYSE Liffe U.S. announced a March 21 planned launch of its fixed income complex. The announcement came the day New York Portfolio Clearing (NYPC) received final regulatory approval of its "one-pot" cross-margining arrangement between cash fixed income positions cleared by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation's (DTCC) Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC) subsidiary and interest rate futures positions cleared by NYPC.
NYSE Liffe will launch Eurodollar futures on March 21, followed by a full suite of Treasury futures a week later. They will be the third exchange offering fixed-income futures. The Chicago Board of Trade, part of CME Group, has withstood many challenges to its Treasury complex, and CME has maintained dominance in Eurodollar futures since introducing them in the 1980s. ELX futures, which launched in 2009 and offers a full suite of fixed-income futures, recently has set volume records but hasn't been able to produce more than single-digit market share.
While there have been many challenges to the Chicago exchanges' dominance in Treasury futures, the most recent brings something new to the table — the ability to clear cash and futures positions in one pot.
NYSE Liffe U.S CEO Tom Callahan said, "We fully understand that competing in the interest rate arena against a franchise as well established and well defended as CME would take a really big idea. For us NYPC is that big idea."
NYPC is a 50/50 joint venture between DTCC and NYSE Euronext.
The clearing structure, two years in the making, looks to add a margin efficiency advantage over the CME Group's fixed-income complex that other challengers did not have. "We believe our efforts are transformational," says NYPC CEO Walt Lukken. "[By] bridging the securities world and futures world together for the first time at the clearinghouse level [we] will bring significant efficiency to firms that are trading through [NYSE Liffe] and clearing through NYPC."
CME Group managed to steal some of NYPC's thunder by announcing, the day before NYPC received final approval, a new type of membership that would provide many of the same margin offsets to customers trading fixed-income futures.
The Financial Instruments Clearing Membership (FICM) is actually an old structure that was originally used to manage cash and futures currencies.
"We have allowed firms to set up self-clearing accounts that directly face the CME for their futures business," says CME Director of FX and Interest Rate Products Derek Sammann. "They utilize a facilities manager, who is a CME clearing member, and also an FICC clearing firm. [That] facilities manager handles and backstops both their futures business at CME as well as clearing some of their cash securities."
Sammann says the membership would offer a maximum margin offset of 65%; through nearly six months of beta-testing the average margin savings for potential FICM members was in the 40% to 45% range on the futures leg.
NYPC estimates capital savings of 15% to 30% over existing clearing structures but Lukken cautioned that because of the different risk structures, such estimates could not be compared on an apples-to-apples basis.
While NYSE and NYPC officials said there was not sufficient information on the CME membership to comment specifically, they suggested that it would add another player in the mix that could increase counterparty risk. "Anytime you introduce a new [entity] into the equation that is just more operational complexity and potentially more counterparty risk. If you look at the NYPC solution, we clearly decrease operational complexity and risk by harmonizing the collateral movements between futures and cash," Lukken says.
Sammann disputes this. "If you look at the risk that these FICM firms present, it is no different than other self-clearing firms. They face directly CME clearing and on the futures side of that transaction everything reverts back and is handled by the facilities manager which is a CME clearing firm," he says, adding, "When firms take on the FICM membership one of the things they have to do is make a contribution to the guarantee fund that scales up [based] on the size of their positions."
John Coleman, managing director of R.J. O'Brien's fixed income division, says the NYPC one-pot method is a little more of a thorough cross-margining arrangement, especially because it will include repos, but adds, "Nothing is complete until you have liquidity. At the end of the day nobody is going to go anyplace that isn't liquid."

"If anybody had told me back then who I would be or what I would believe now," Kurek said, "I would have thought they were completely insane."
For example, Kurek now thinks homosexuality is completely acceptable.
His family is happy to know that he is not gay, says Kurek. He has a new set of friends. And he lives in Portland, Oregon, where he moved shortly after finishing his experimental year.
The author plans to donate part of the proceeds from his book to help LGBT homeless youth who have been rejected by their families.
He is now at work on a book proposal for a follow-up to "The Cross in the Closet." The book will be about the years after his experiment, transitioning back to honest living while continuing to engage the LGBT community.
"I want to tell more stories," he says "and humanize the people who Christians always want to look at as labels."

Dear Mr Kojuharov,
Thank you for the prompt answer. My efforts to even read the article on line found it referenced often but without text, so it you could e-mail it to me this would be much appreciated.
Since you appear to be very knowledgeable on the subject, hopefully you will find time to comment on the question of the Aristotelian paradigm and why it apparently was not adopted by the founders of Hellenic astrology.
Kind regards,
Abd-Allah Meyers

What has been your favorite class at COA? Why?
All the lit classes are amazing. Outside of my usual realm of literature, I would say Evolution taught by Chris Petersen and Steve Ressel was my favorite class. It expanded the questions I ask about human nature when reading literature and gave me some scientific knowledge about what I explore in other genres of my life. It was also just a fun, awesome class. The fairytales class would have to be my favorite lit class, although Native American Lit with Karen Waldron is a close follow up. Satanic Verses with Bill Carpenter was pretty inspiring too. It's very hard to pick.
What was your favorite lecture at COA? Why?
There was a guest speaker, Marty Crump, who came and talked about amphibians and cultural perspectives of animals. She was an amazing speaker and I thoroughly enjoyed her talk.
What is your dream occupation?
Writer or teacher. Preferably both.
Do you work on or off campus?
I work as a TA, a janitor for B & G, and an occasional night bus driver.
What do you see yourself doing after COA?
Teaching somewhere, currently I want to teach on the border of US and Mexico. Writing novels.
What country or state would you like to visit?
I've always wanted to see Vermont. And I would like to return to Nicaragua sometime. Or another part of Central America.
Where would you love to live?
No idea right now. I think I will know when I get there.
What is happiness to you?
Being with animals.
Have you had an internship?
I plan on doing my internship as a student teacher this fall.
What are your ideas for your senior project?
I am going to write a novel with Bill Carpenter as my adviser.
What is one of your favorite childhood memories?
I went to the pool once with my best friend and ate Nilla wafers and did back flips off the edge.
What is your favorite food to eat? What is your favorite thing to cook?
I love food. Like seriously love it. So this is a hard question. I am vegan and gluten free so when foods makes it into my narrow threshold of things I am not allergic to/avoiding, I appreciate them. I love salads though. And garbanzo beans. I have a slight obsession with nutritional yeast. Dried mangoes are good too.
What do you like to do when you're not doing school work?
Not doing school work? When does this happen? How did I miss it? Just kidding. Sort of. I like to drink tea and write. I sometimes watch bad sci-fi series from the nineties. When I'm feeling social I will have people over to tea and we eat tasty vegan gf snacks.
What are your favorite colors?
Black, gray, dark forest green.
What are your favorite flowers?
Marigolds because they were the first thing I ever successfully grew.
What are your favorite animals?
Cats. I really like all animals though. It's my non-academic obsession, animals. I really like them. I like to hang out with them, look at picture of them, draw them. It makes me happy when I see animals in the wild. I like squirrels a lot too.
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
Can I be exempt from this question because I am vegan?
What is the motto you like to live by?
Do what makes the better story. Respect things. Do things that terrify you.
Why did you choose to come to COA?
Because I love learning but hated school.
What do you like to study?
Relationships between things. Literature as means of exploring these. Education.

T.S. Eliot, Cormac McCarthy, Sherman Alexie
Who are your favorite artists and musicians?
Neutral Milk Hotel, Arcade Fire, Juanes Van Gogh
Who is your favorite fictional hero?
I was never into the whole "hero" thing. Flawless characters annoy me to no end.
What historical figure do you most admire?
Daniel Ellsberg. I met him once. It was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. It was at a book signing. He encouraged me to keep doing what I was doing.
Who is your hero today?
I really hate the word "hero". But there are a lot of people who I admire and look up to. The list is pretty big. Most of the lit teachers here have made it on there among other teachers I have had in my education. People who die for what the believe in automatically have my respect and admiration.
What do you value most in your friends?
That they are their own person and do what they do because they want to do it. I am uncomfortable around people who pretend.
What do people say is your most marked characteristic?
Apparently I am strange. But in a way that makes people comfortable about their own strangeness, so I don't worry too much about it.
What talent do you wish you had?
I wish I could shred the piano like those famous people do.
What is your least favorite spice?
Curry. (I know, I feel so un-COA saying that).
Do you have anything cool or unique you would like to share?
I am left-handed. There is speculation that this means I ate my twin in-utero because apparently most twins are left-handed and a lot of pregnancies begin as twins before one absorbs the other. Someone concluded that this means left-handed people eat their twin. I don't think I ate my twin, I don't think I had one, but it did gain me the nick name "baby eater" for a good week by my housemates and good friends. That was a huge digression from my original point, which is that I am left-handed and will therefore, statistically speaking, live longer than right handed people.

Dating & Single Living
Basic and tried and true answer is yes. If a guy is truly interested he will pursue no matter what is going on in his life.
Yes, at least, gosh I hope so or does that leave us? Confused....
Ladies can drop a hankie. But if a guy is truly beguiled, he will pursue.
So please, ladies, beguile us! I, for one, am aching to be beguiled....drop that hankie by being who you really are, clear and bright and beautiful. And don't be afraid to take a little chance.
In what way is it not "all" true, do you think?

(Editor's note: Nancy Luna is reporting from the 2012 National Restaurant Association food show in Chicago )
Newport Beach-based Stacked Restaurants nabbed an innovations award at the National Restaurant Association conference in Chicago for its cutting edge iPad ordering system.
At the first annual Operator Innovations Award, Stacked won in the technical category. The concept, created by the same executives who made BJ's Restaurants a national brand, offers a menu of all-American comfort foods: burgers, salads, pizzas and sausages.
Stacked debuted in 2011 and immediately earned buzz for its tableside iPad ordering system. Every dish can be customized using the restaurant's touch screen technology.
"These restaurant operators are true pioneers of innovation and leadership, who are breaking new ground on how to successfully run a restaurant business," said Jack Crawford, Convention Chair for NRA Show 2012 . "It is our honor to recognize our Operator Innovations Award winners and, we believe they will serve as an inspiration to restaurateurs throughout our industry."
Stacked has locations in Torrance, Cerritos and San Diego. In five years, co-founder Paul Motenko said he plans to have about 50 Stacked restaurants. He's scouting locations in Orange County.
Stay tuned for more on Stacked when I return from Chicago.

Phone: | (860) 439-2566 |
Email: | firstname.lastname@example.com |
Ned Bishop has been a member of the Connecticut College track & field coaching staff for the past 28 years. He first served as the women's head coach for thirteen years, followed by an eight-year stint as an assistant responsible for men's and women's distance events. Bishop took the reins as head coach of both the men's and women's squads in October of 2006. In the six years since that time, his athletes have broken 24 men's and 18 women's school records. Bishop has also coached the highly successful women's cross country program since the fall of 1985.
Camel track & field athletes have made regular appearances at recent NCAA Division III Championships, and Alex Samma (triple jump) won the program's first-ever national title during the 2009 indoor season. Mike LeDuc became the first freshman in program history to earn All-America honors in 2011, and he achieved repeat All-America status in the 3000-meter steeplechase last spring with his fourth-place finish at the national championship meet.
Bishop guided the Connecticut College women's program to the 1989 New England Division III outdoor team title. His track & field athletes have earned 46 NCAA national qualifying marks, and eight of his cross country runners have advanced to national championship meets. He has coached 39 NESCAC, New England and ECAC champions and two of his former runners qualified for the 2004 Olympic Trials in the marathon.
Bishop graduated from Connecticut College in 1984 after a four-year cross country and track career. He served as the team captain and was named the Most Valuable Runner of the cross country squad in his senior year. He ran the first leg on a school-record distance medley relay team and owns a personal best time of 15:47 for 5000 meters. Bishop recently completed a four-year term as a member of the NCAA Division III Track & Field and Cross Country Committee.

Received January 04, 2012; Revised September 25, 2012; Accepted October 16, 2012.
Objective Because medical students experience a considerable amount of stress during training, academic leaders have recognized the importance of developing stress-management programs for medical students. The authors set out to identify all controlled trials of stress-management interventions and determine the efficacy of those interventions.
Method The authors searched the published English-language articles on PsycINFO and PubMed, using a combination of the following search terms: stress-management, distress, burnout, coping, medical student, wellness. Both randomized, controlled trials and controlled, non-randomized trials of stress-management programs were selected and critically appraised.
Results A total of 13 randomized, controlled trials or controlled, non-randomized trials were identified. Interventions included self-hypnosis, meditation, mindfulness-based stress-reduction, feedback on various health habits, educational discussion, changes in the length and type of curriculum, and changes in the grading system. Only one study was identified to be of very high quality, although several had described group differences at baseline, used blinding, had good follow-up, and used validated assessment tools. There was a wide heterogeneity of outcome measures used. Interventions that were supported by a reduction in stress and anxiety in medical students included mindfulness-based stress-reduction or meditation techniques, self-hypnosis, and pass/fail grading.
Conclusions Significant opportunities to advance educational research in this field exist by developing more high-quality studies with particular attention to randomization techniques and standardizing outcome measures.
Medical students experience an immense amount of stress during training, and the Liaison Committee of Medical Education (LCME) standard on this issue is another impetus for the creation and study of wellness programs for medical students (1). Studies have shown that there is a higher prevalence of psychological distress among medical students than in the general population and age-matched peers (2, 3). The implications for psychological distress of medical students include lowered academic performance (4), increased professional misconduct (5), decreased empathy (6), increased substance abuse (7–9), and suicide (10). Medical students often avoid seeking help because they believe it might affect their future career plans or fear that they will be seen as "weak" by others (11). Given the high rates of distress among medical students, it is imperative that efficacious health-promoting interventions are offered for all students in order to limit distress. According to the standards of best-evidence medical education (12, 13), medical school educators and administrators should take account of published information on stress-management programs in order to guide the development of efficacious stress-management programs at individual medical schools.
There is a great variety in the types of health-promotion programs currently offered, including self-development groups (14), yoga interventions (15), mindfulness and lifestyle programs (16–20), self-hypnosis (21), small group stress-management programs (22), time management programs (23), reflective writing sessions (24, 25), curriculum changes (26–28), grading changes (29–31), and educational electives (32). Although there has been one notable systematic review of stress-management programs for medical students (33), this review has not been updated, nor did it identify any search terms used. Moreover, this review had wide inclusion criteria that included not only medical students, but residents, nurses, and premedical students.
Because of the dearth of systematic reviews on this wide array of interventions for reducing medical student distress, the aims of this review are to identify all randomized controlled trials and controlled non randomized trials for stress-management programs, to identify the efficacy of these interventions for reducing distress, and to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the available studies concerning allopathic and osteopathic medical students alone. We aim to describe how stress-management programs were incorporated into the medical education curriculum for medical students and their impact on psychological distress, if any, by comparing intervention-group findings with comparison-group findings.
We used standard methodologies (34) for conducting systematic reviews, searching PsycINFO and PubMed databases for peer-reviewed articles reporting on primary studies of stress-management programs integrated into allopathic and osteopathic medical schools for medical students. Also, we performed directed searches of primary publications referenced in other articles, including review articles. The search was conducted over a 22-month period (February 2010–November 2011). Combinations of the following key words were used: stress management, distress, burnout, coping, medical student, and wellness. Inclusion criteria included English-language articles published after 1995 and the use of a separate control or comparison group in the research design. The authors arbitrarily started at 1995. The major reason for exclusion was the absence of a control group; other reasons for exclusion included those programs aimed to decrease substance abuse or increase professionalism and programs conducted within residency training. We focused the review on medical school programs so that these programs could serve as a model for the development of medical school stress-management programs.
After initial searches, the team met regularly to discuss potentially relevant articles and whether these articles met the inclusion criteria. All articles that met the inclusion criteria were read by all team members. Articles were scored on criteria for establishing validity of a study, using and extending the standards developed by the Criteria from the Evidence-Based Medicine Working Group (35). These items included the presence of randomization, adequacy of methods of concealment, randomization, whether differences at baseline were identified, the presence of blinding, follow-up and intention to treat, and validity and reliability of outcome measures used. Each item was dichotomously scored by three members of the team (JC, TH, FE), with a maximum score of 7 points. Any differences in ratings were resolved by consensus. Two members (TH and MS) checked for reliability and validity of psychometric scales for those publications that did not make note of it. These included the Brief Symptom Inventory, Profile of Mood States, UCLA Loneliness Scale, Hopkins Symptom Checklist, and the Perceived Stress Scale. In presenting the results of the individual papers, we only comment on similarities or differences that were identified as being of importance between experimental and comparison groups. If sufficient data were available, the numbers needed to teach (NNT) or the numbers needed to harm (NNH) were calculated.
Our initial search yielded 735 primary articles. All abstracts were scanned, and the abstracts of articles pertaining to distress in medical students were read. Also, a secondary screening was done, in which the reference lists of these articles were read, to include articles that may not have shown up on the primary search. Furthermore, other articles relevant to managing stress in allied health students or physicians were identified, and their reference sections were searched for any articles pertaining to medical students. Our search of the databases plus our additional searches yielded 13 articles that met our inclusion criteria. These included five randomized, controlled trials (RCTs; 17, 20, 21, 25, 32) and eight controlled, non-randomized trials (CNRTs; 18, 19, 26–31). As shown in Table 1, eight of the studies examined one medical school year class; one study included premedical students and first- and second-year medical students, and three studies included two medical school class years. Interventions included self-hypnosis (21), changes in the length and type of preclinical curriculum (19, 26–28), meditation (17), feedback on various health habits (32), educational discussion groups on self-care (32), classes focusing on mind–body medicine (19), mindfulness-based stress-reduction (18, 20), reflective writing seminars (25), and changes in basic sciences curriculum grading (29–31). All of the studies aimed to decrease medical students' emotional distress; however, one study also addressed the effects of the intervention on health habits (32); a second study examined the effects of the intervention on immune system reactivity (21); and a third study examined the effects of the intervention on United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) scores, residency placement, and attendance (29). Assessment methods were heterogeneous; none used all of the same outcome measures.
POMS: Profile of Mood States; BSI: Brief Symptom Inventory; MBI: Maslach Burnout Inventory; GHQ: General Health Questionnaire; STAI-1: State and Trait Anxiety-1; INSPIRIT: Index of Core Spiritual Experiences; BDI: Beck Depression Inventory; MEQL: Medical Education Quality of Life Questionnaire; AUDIT: Alcohol Use and Disorders Identification Test; PSS: Perceived Stress Scale; PCS: Perceived Cohesion Scale; TAI: Test Anxiety Inventory; USMLE: United States Medical Licensing Examination; SCL-90: Symptom Checklist; PSMS: Perceived Stress of Medical School; DGWBS: Dupuy General Well-Being Schedule; MOSSF: Medical Outcomes Study, Short Form; DASS: Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale.
One study (20) scored a full 7 on the validity scale, whereas the validity assessments of the other RCTs and CNRTs fell within a narrow range of 3 to 4. All of the studies had high follow-up rates of at least 70%, used outcome measures that were identified as valid, and assessed the reliability of the outcome measures. Moreover, all studies except one (27) identified some similarities and differences between groups at baseline before implementation. Only one study (20) described a method of concealment of randomization or noted using "blind" raters. This study was also the only one that used a power analysis.
There were five RCTs. The first RCT (20) was a three-centered, single-blinded, RCT. The intervention consisted of an audio compact disc that contained 30 minutes of spoken, mindfulness-guided practice. Participants were asked to practice this independently every day for 8 weeks. Validated measures of stress and anxiety were completed at baseline and at the end of the trial by both groups of participants. A primary outcome of perceived stress was significantly lower in the intervention group than the control group. There were no reported adverse effects of the intervention. An NNT or NNH could not be calculated.
In the second RCT (32), first-year medical students completed questionnaires about their health habits. In this study, the two experimental groups included a self-awareness intervention of educational written feedback on scores alone and a self-care intervention that included a lecture plus a group discussion plus written information about self-care. The self-awareness group was given individual written feedback on questionnaire scores as compared with the norm and their peers. The self-care intervention involved a lecture, written information about self-care habits, and a group discussion. Although there were differences in outcomes between the groups in terms of sleep and exercise habits, the feedback and educational intervention groups did not differ in emotional or academic adjustment. Also, of the 23 students that participated in the educational discussion groups, 8 reported changed behaviors (improved sleep hygiene and getting therapy for depression), compared with 5 of the 29 students who received written feedback on their questionnaires. The NNT was 6.21.
In the third RCT (17), we assessed the effects of an 8-week, meditation-based, stress-reduction elective. The course consisted of seven sessions of 2.5 hours each week, weekly home practice assignments, and daily journaling. The exercises were aimed to increase mindful listening skills and empathy. The intervention group reported significantly reduced anxiety, reduced depression, reduced overall psychological distress, increased empathy, and increased spirituality. In the fourth RCT (21), volunteers at an incoming medical school class were randomly selected to receive self-hypnosis training as a means of coping with stress, as compared with a no-treatment control condition . The self-hypnosis intervention did not result in any significant immune changes relative to controls; however, subjects in the self-hypnosis intervention assigned significantly lower stress ratings during the exam period than did the subjects in the no-treatment control condition. In the final RCT (25), one group wrote about their most emotional and traumatic experiences; a second group wrote about their future as if their personal goals had been achieved, including how they had overcome at least one obstacle; and a third control group described everything they had done in the past 24 hours, without expressing emotions or opinions. There were no significant between-group differences in depressive symptoms or physical health reported at 3 months.
Two CNRTs addressed the impact of interventions that included mindfulness on mood and anxiety states. In one study (18), medical students participated in a 10-week, mindfulness-based stress-reduction seminar. Their mood states were compared with controls who participated in a didactic seminar on complementary medicine. The Total Mood Disturbance was significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group. In the second CNRT (19), 30 first-year medical student enrollees in an experimental elective on mind–body medicine were compared with second-year medical students who had not enrolled in the elective. At the end of the elective, there were no significant differences in mood states, perceived stress, or anxiety.
One CNRT (27) evaluated a change in curriculum from a traditional track (TT) to a reformed track (RT). In the TT, teaching and learning were based on lectures and seminars organized by individual disciplines. In contrast, teaching and learning in the RT were problem-based, focused on self-directed learning in small groups, and supplemented by seminars and tutorials. In the RT, the emphasis was on providing interdisciplinary teaching and earlier contact with patients. Reformed-track students felt significantly more supported than TT students. Supports included good contact with fellow students and teachers, high-quality courses, and a curriculum that fulfilled students' expectations.
Two CNRTs evaluated the length of medical school curriculum on stress levels. One study (26) compared two medical schools with different lengths of preclinical curriculum, whereas another study (28) compared 2 final years, when 1 year had a shortened curriculum. In the first study (26), the 2- versus 3-year preclinical curriculum was associated with higher stress levels. Since a greater proportion of students in this 5-year program (23%) contemplated dropping out, as compared with the 6-year program (15.8%), the NNH was 13.9. On the Maslach Burnout Inventory, there were no significant differences on the Emotional Exhaustion, or the Depersonalization subscales between the two groups. In the remaining study (28), shortening the final academic year from 47 to 42 weeks did not significantly alter perceived stress levels.
The final three CNRTs all examined the relationship of Pass/Fail grading on student well-being. In the first study (31), students who were evaluated on the Pass/Fail grading system were compared with the previous class of students, who were evaluated on a five-interval grading system (A, B, C, D, F). At the end of the second year of medical school, students graded with the Pass/Fail system reported feeling less stress and greater group cohesion than those graded with the five-interval graded system. Also, there were no differences in USMLE Step 1 scores between the Pass/Fail and the five-interval grading groups. In the second study (29), two medical school classes, with different grading systems (Pass/Fail and five-interval) were compared. Data from each class showed that the Pass/Fail class felt a significant increase in well-being, greater satisfaction with the quality of their education, and greater satisfaction with their personal lives. Moreover, there were no differences in academic performance, USMLE scores, residency placement, or attendance between the two classes. In the third study (30), first- and second-year medical students were surveyed at seven different medical schools about stress, burnout, and quality of life. Students who were graded using three or more intervals had high levels of stress, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization than students who were graded on a Pass/Fail system. Also, students who were graded using three or more intervals were more likely to consider dropping out of medical school and experience burnout than their Pass/Fail peers.
We found 13 studies that met the inclusion criteria. These included five randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) and eight controlled, non-randomized trials (CNRTs). Nine of the studies included one medical school class, whereas four studies included multiple class years. With the exception of one study (20), the quality of the studies varied little. Study strengths included similarities on group differences, good rates of follow-up, and the use of valid and reliable outcome measures. Only one study (20) described randomization methods, concealment of randomization, or methods for blinding raters. Designing adequate randomization methods is an especially important standard to achieve in education research (36). The scarcity of studies meeting this standard limits the rigor of data, and therefore limits the development of stress-management programs aimed to promote medical student wellness.
The available data support the efficacy of some forms of intervention in promoting health and reducing stress among medical students. A combination of lectures, discussion groups, and written educational material is more efficacious than just providing written feedback on questionnaire answers (32). Three of the four studies that included mindfulness-based stress-reduction techniques reported results supporting those techniques (17, 18, 20). Self-hypnosis appears to be efficacious in reducing stress and anxiety in the study setting (21). Also, implementing Pass/Fail grading appears to enhance student well-being (29–31). One of the two studies on curriculum length found higher stress levels associated with a shorter curriculum, although these differences were not reported to be significant (26).
One methodological concern was that there was a lack of consistency of outcome measures across studies. Standardization of outcome measures across studies constitutes an important goal for this area of research. Although medical students are well known to experience burnout, only two studies utilized the Maslach Burnout Inventory (26, 30). Researchers should consider using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Perceived Medical School Stress Scale (37) for this area of research. In order to compare interventions, there is a need for investigators to use consistent and important outcome measures, including outcome measures on depression and burnout, which are commonly experienced among medical students. Also, these studies did not assess the long-term effects of interventions, and most experimental interventions were conducted at one site, limiting the generalizability of the data.
There were several limitations to our methods. Although we conducted several searches and used multiple databases, we did not conduct a search of the "gray" (unpublished and not easily accessible) literature. We also only included English-language articles that were published after 1995. Nevertheless, our results suggest that there is a role for stress-management programs in reducing the psychological distress of medical students. The small number of controlled studies and the limitations of the data described above indicate a need for developing rigorously-conducted studies in this critically important area. Psychiatrists should be at the forefront of this research.

The Chunnel is far more than Eurostar
CALAIS, France--I'm sitting in a train doing something more than 265 million people have done before--enter the Chunnel for a crossing between France and England. But I've got a seat very few of them have ever had: in the cab, next to the driver of the train, and we're looking directly at the mouth of the world-famous tunnel.
This is a spot I didn't expect to ever be in, but I've come here as part of Road Trip 2011, and I'm getting a behind-the-scenes look at Eurotunnel, the under-the English Channel crossing, putting me … Read more

Blending trip-hop with country music or hip-hop with classical sounds ridiculous, but in the documentary The Re:Generation Music Project (playing in 170 theaters tonight, select theaters on Feb. 23), those seemingly contradictory genres are reimagined through the eyes of five electronic-dance music DJs and producers.
Hip-hop pioneer DJ Premier, dubstep sensation Skrillex, trip-hop mixologist Pretty Lights, breakbeat veterans the Crystal Method and genre-spanning producer Mark Ronson step out of their comfort zones to work with artists in R&B, jazz, classical, rock and country.
Directed by Amir Bar-Lev (The Tillman Story, My Kid Could Paint That), the film follows the artists as they find common ground. "I don't see the film as capturing something cutting-edge, quite the opposite," says Bar-Lev. "This is a story as old as music itself. It's about the way music evolves."
