Researcher creates proof-of-concept worm for network-attached storage devices
Network-attached storage (NAS) devices are riddled with vulnerabilities that can put the security of sensitive data and networks at risk, a researcher has found. To prove his point, he has created a proof-of-concept worm that can infect devices from three different manufacturers.

INSIDE STORY: Steering towards new business strategies
Distributor IPL Communications held a thought leadership event earlier this year specifically targeting 170 dealers that were a mix between telco and system integrators. This was underscored by the need to change. Julia Talevski sat down with IPL general manager, Paul Scanlan, and managing director, Stead Denton.
What's next for Wi-Fi? A second wave of 802.11ac devices, and then: 802.11ax
Now that blazing-fast routers based on the IEEE 802.11ac standard are finally entering the mainstream, intrepid engineers are busily cooking up all-new hardware that will make that gear's performance seem quaint by comparison.

Great Cities
In the last part of Morning Edition's February series on what makes a city great, NPR's Susan Stamberg hears how a rich cultural mix, great shopping, and exotic food made people head to London and Amsterdam in droves — in the 1600's. She speaks with author and historian Simon Schama about the color — and the dreck, drugs and drink — of these great cities three centuries ago.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Claude's court back in session
Noel Winnipeg's answer to Yogi Berra
He received the loudest cheer as the Winnipeg Jets officially stepped onto the ice for the first time at the MTS Centre Sunday afternoon.
And, if it wouldn't have busted just about every rule in the journalistic code of ethics, he might have been met with a similar welcome from the media when he arrived for his first press conference not long after.
The NHL is back, ladies and gentlemen. And that can mean only one thing:
Claude Noel -- that walking, talking sound bite and a man who could read the collective-bargaining agreement out loud and have a room in stitches -- is back in the house.
"First thing," began the Winnipeg Jets head coach while addressing the press gallery Sunday, "is I want you guys to know how much I missed you guys..."
And off he went filling notebooks with one juicy quote after another. There were laughs at his wisecracks and nodding heads during the deeper moments.
Yes, after a nine-month stint in which he was seldom seen or heard, the Cult of Claude is back and already playing to rave reviews.
"We all missed his press conferences," said Jets winger Blake Wheeler. "That's another thing we've missed and it's going to be great to have that back.
"We all know him and he's as eager as anyone to get back on the ice. He brings a lot of pride into his work and we feed off that. There was a lot of good energy out there today."
That would hardly have been unique across the National Hockey League on Sunday as all 30 teams returned to work. But it's hard to imagine any other city where the head coach, a guy who hasn't lead his team to a playoff berth let alone a Stanley Cup, would be met so warmly.
Noel, a career hockey man who got his first real NHL coaching gig at age 56 when he was hired in 2011, became one of the voices and faces of the Jets' return a year ago.
And his post-game media sessions -- especially after a loss, where his emotion often bubbled over -- became can't-miss TV.
So popular were some of his expressions -- like turnovers being described as "free pizzas" -- they became part of the local hockey vernacular.
But hockey fans and media also came to understand his other side, the serious Claude Noel. This is a man who has a burning desire to push, pull and drag this team into the playoffs and then beyond.
And now -- just like every other coach in the NHL -- he's staring up at this Everest: How to get 26 guys ready not only for the season opener in five days but for a condensed regular season that will be over by April 25.
"I'm very cognizant of the fact that as much as you want to cover, you don't want to overdo it with the players," Noel said. "Sometimes less is more there."
Noel stressed the key to the start of the season will be balancing pushing his team versus risking injury.
But with little time between games for practices and teaching, a lot of what he does this season will simply be about reading his charges to see when he needs to back off and when he needs to bring the hammer down hard.
"For me, I would just like (us) to start walking and behaving like winners," Noel said. "Most times you have to be deserving of being a winner. You earn that right. You get in the playoffs. I'd like us to try and expect to win more. We have to go in expecting to win on the road, expecting more things from each other on the road. That's the attitude difference I'd like us to start thinking about. But a lot of that is earned.
"Teams that are constantly above the line and in the playoffs, that just becomes the normal, everyday existence for them.
"We haven't reached that point yet."
When Noel was finally done he wrapped up his session with:
"Thanks guys. Nice to see you again."
Stepping away from the podium, he waited for a response from the assembled press for a nanosecond, grinned and then answered his own parting remark as he exited.
"You, too, Claude."
More smiles. More laughter.
Hockey is back. Claude Noel is back, thank heavens. It's been far too long.

Why is Bram Stoker's Dracula considered Gothic Literature?
1 Answer | Add Yours
"Dracula" is one of the best examples of Gothic literature for several reasons. Its themes of death and decay, fear, the supernatural, and the idea of passion/irrationality over reason and rational thought and behavior make it an excellent illustration of this literary genre. In addition, the time period in which it was written (it was originally published in 1897) was known for its gothic horror stories by other authors like Robert Louis Stevenson and Edgar Allan Poe.
The mood Stoker used in writing "Dracula," and his setting it in gloomy London or the dark, forbidding forests of Transylvania also goes along with the genre of Gothic literature. The whole point to this genre was to instill fear and forboding into the reader, and Stoker was very successful in that regard.
Check the links below for more information on this genre and "Dracula" specifically. Good luck!

"Simply Outstanding."
It's THE best book I've listened to so far.
The different perspectives that were all brought together to describe this one man.
n/a - at first she kind of got on my nerves (I was actually expecting a man)...but after a bit she was clearly a natural for this reading.
yes....but it is WAY too long for that...
I've listened to it twice already and both times I've learned something new.
"A wonderful listen with a few mispronunciations"
This book simultaneously brings us closer to the minds of these historical figures while also showing us how, in some cases, we cannot truly put ourselves in their place.
Having read one of the worshipful books about Lincoln some years ago, in which many of his high-handed and insensitive [if clever] responses to people in need were chronicled, I am not a wholehearted Lincoln fan.
Neither am I a Civil War enthusiast.
Nonetheless, Team Of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln is turning out to be the best and most profound addition to my knowledge and perspective as I enter my sixties.
I tend to focus on the almost cliché "big picture", and find that Doris Kearns Goodwin maintains a consistent perspective throughout the work. She tells us enough about Lincoln's cabinet members to let us see them as complete (if sometimes unlikeable) human beings, without devolving into a set of mini-biographies.
She also successfully avoids letting the book be about The Civil War itself, instead focusing on the day to day happenings around Lincoln and his cabinet. If anything, I find myself wanting to hear a bit more about the ebb and flow of the war, and this is how things should be.
At the outset I hoped to learn more about General McClellan, as I knew something about the troubles he caused for President Lincoln. Team of Rivals more than satisfies this initial curiosity. And though McClellan was not part of Lincoln's cabinet, I find myself wanting to know more about how such a blissfully self-unaware personality came to be.
I need my sleep - no way for me to listen to 40+ hours in one sitting ;)
Occasional glaring mispronunciations (for example PREE-scient for prescient and conSUMMate for consummate) introduce noticeable distractions from the substance of the book itself.
I am listening to this book on a 2012 Chevrolet Volt, and there are occasional glitches in the playback. I have no way of knowing whether these are inherent in the down-loaded audible.com files, the technology transfer into my vehicle or the playback, but they are generally limited to short duration bursts of noise.
"Great book about an amazing figure"
This book really makes it clear why Lincoln was such a great leader. His ability to turn his rivals into his advisors made him and the country stronger. To be honest, I had started out reading the book but found it a little dense. The narration was quite good and really drew me in. There was so much about Lincoln, the war, and the country that I did not know, and Doris Kearns Goodwin really brought it all to life.
"Very disappointed"
I had wanted to listen to this for years, but I found my mind wandering over and over while it was playing. I had to back up and listen to parts again. I think the fault was with the narrator. Having a woman narrator detracted greatly. Also, she just didn't have much "life" about her.
"not really the worst book"
I probably should have know but this book talks little about licoln and a lot about polic=tics at the time just not my thing really.
steve jobs
"Gripping Narration"
It would rank among the top 2.
The book is well written and the narration is amazing. One of the most memorable moments of the narration is when a Story of Stanton is narrated where he passes a death sentence and then weeps for the burdens of his duties.
Her narration is pleasant and inviting. Her tone is warming and she bring a certain depth into the book which I felt would not be there if I just read the book.
I felt overwhelmed by the efforts and dedication that the heroes of this book present to achieve their goals. The narration was essential in bringing about the sorrow and joy felt by them.
"Team of Rivals: Unrivaled Scholarship Delivers"
Whether you're a lover of history or not, the power of this story will keep you enthralled. No mystery could have so many twists and turns.
Goodwin's phenomenally detailed story combined with the excellent reader's expression (without over dramatizing!) was superb!
Avid reader until vision impairment set in. Now an avid listener!
"Terrific History, Irritating Narration"
Context-rich history
To me the best histories frame the narration of events with the social contexts that shape them. I'm always interested in how religion, social standing, family and group experiences, and culture, for example, influence the choices historical figures have made. This book excels at discussing these interactions. It's so much more than a biography of Lincoln and the other men who make up the "team of rivals." We get a rich and persuasive portrayal of the contexts in which all of the characters form their ideas and set out on their actions.
I thought the performance distracted from the book. It was so overrefined and stagey. The narrator spoke with an American accent, but the only word I can think of to describe it is "plummy." A less theatrical reading would have made listening a great pleasure.
No. The book is long and full of details, memorable anecdotes, and lots of important historical information.
"A staggering achievement"
I was almost put off this audiobook because of its length; it is by far the longest audiobook I have listened to yet. Having finished it this morning, I can say that it was worth every single unabridged minute!
What makes this account of Lincoln special is that his life and achievements are not viewed in isolation, but rather in the context of his contemporaries. Doris Kearns Goodwin does an exemplary job of contextualizing the times and circumstances of Lincoln's life through the lives of those around him, including his family, his political advisors and their families. Kearns Goodwin introduced me to the names of Seward, Chase, and Bates, and now that I know of their names and accomplishments, it is hard to believe there was a time when I didn't know them. But more importantly, the book makes clear that without these men, Lincoln could not have succeeded, nor would he hold such prominence in history today.
Not only is the research method sound, but the narration is solid, like the telling of an intricate story. More than a few times I paused to reflect on the sheer magnitude of Kearns Goodwin's accomplishment, for this is not a book that could have been achieved by just any historian. This book is an accomplishment of a lifetime, and it is the definitive historical account of Lincoln and his times. I cannot imagine it being surpassed any time soon.
Suzanne Toren's reading was flawless. Her voice was consistent and steady (though not monotonous) and her subtle changes in register let the reader know when she was giving a quotation, which is very helpful with a book like this.
This is not the sort of book I would recommend while going for a jog, or doing something which requires a lot of mental or physical exertion. Although the story is told clearly and concisely, it is very easy to miss an important event or relationship twist if one is preoccupied doing other things. I myself opted to listen to this book every morning while doing my makeup and getting dressed, listening only about 30-45 minutes per day, sometimes less. It took me months to get through it, but I came to enjoy it as a part of my daily routine, the way one might a morning news program, and I feel a bit sad now that it's over.
I give this book a 5 star rating without hesitation or reservation.
Amature Pedagogue
"Fantastic book, great performance"
Absolutely amazing. Doris Kearns Goodwin's narrative of the political genius, magnetic personality, and overwhelming empathy of Abraham Lincoln is an astounding work of both scholarship and literature. Delving deep into federal, state, and personal archives, and grappling continually with both the accounts of his contemporaries and the scholarship since, Goodwin has woven a beautiful, powerful, and compelling story which does due justice to Lincoln as a statesman, commander, and (most importantly) a person. The miniature narratives within the larger piece, laying out the peculiarities and personalities of the other players (Seward, Stanton, Chase, Bates, Welles, and Blair, primarily), rather than distracting from the central character, add a depth and versatility to the story which explain many of Lincoln's actions--and in doing so enhance the reader's understanding of this singularly great man.
Moreover, the performance by Suzanne Toren is equally impressive, managing a pace and tone which complement Goodwin's prose. Recognizing Lincoln and others' ability to find humor in the darkest of situations, and to move between gravity and comedy as is best needed by the situation, Goodwin and Toren convey the liveliness and humanity, as well as the superhuman capabilities, of these great players of the Civil War.
Those interested in the Civil War, history of the Constitution, the political life of the nation, or in Lincoln will both appreciate and thoroughly enjoy this book; and, if one also enjoys a good audio book, this also comes highly recommended.

Junior Casey Distaso won both his matches against UDC.

Harvey Accuses Eurovision Act Of Miming
Former EAST 17 singer BRIAN HARVEY has accused the UK's Eurovision Song Contest entry SCOOCH of cheating to win the chance to take part in the event.
A number of acts including Scooch, Harvey, BIG BROVAZ and JUSTIN HAWKINS competed for the chance to represent the UK in the televised contest on a live BBC show on Saturday (17MAR07).
Scooch were the surprise victors - but Harvey claims they mimed and their song FLYING THE FLAG (FOR YOU) was sung by two singers hiding backstage.
He says, "I was p**sed off with the whole Scooch thing. I thought one of the singers was mouthing something and nothing came out. The public have been conned."
Big Brovaz star RANDY agrees, "It seems they were miming as the backstage girls were really loud most of the time. Also the microphones Scooch used were for miming."

Secret Siena: the open FAI days 2014
If you are in Italy at the end of March, do not miss the FAI open days, a unique moment to visit places and monuments normally not opened to public. FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano, usually referred to in English as the Italian National Trust) was born in 1975 "to promote a tangible culture of respect for Italy's natural heritage, art, history and traditions". In these years, FAI saved, restored and opened to the public numerous fine examples of Italy's artistic and natural heritage.

Thunder Insider: A blockbuster trade unlikely
It's that time of the year again, when fans of all 30 NBA teams feast on trade talk and speculative scenarios. The rumor mill already has churned out quite a few juicy possibilities, and the buzz will only blossom as we move closer to the Feb. 18 trading deadline.
For Thunder fans, this year's trading season holds much more intrigue than last February. Oklahoma City, at 20-16, enters tonight's game against New York in eighth place in the Western Conference, a year ahead of when most thought the team would contend for a playoff spot. If OKC maintains its current pace, the Thunder would win 46 games, seemingly staring at one of the final seeds. But Thunder heads shouldn't expect their team to make a blockbuster deal with an eye on punching its playoff ticket. Sorry to spoil the fun folks, but there are many more reasons to believe the Thunder will stand pat than make a splash. From the start, the front office has been fixated on finding long-term playoff success, not fiddling with moves that bring five more wins. Add to that, the Thunder's meticulous management still hasn't deciphered what pieces it does and does not have. Making a move now could add an unnecessary piece, or worse, destroy the puzzle before the picture becomes clear. Most significantly, though, are the salary-cap ramifications that come along with pulling the trigger on a major deal. Oklahoma City could be more than $15 million below the cap this summer. Any trade the Thunder makes could mean sacrificing the hard-earned space on a player who most likely carries a long-term contract. For a franchise seeking to re-sign Kevin Durant and Jeff Green this summer, surplus salary has become extremely important. But landing a player capable of lifting the Thunder into the playoffs also could mean Oklahoma City must part with a primetime player of its own.

Thank you for this great piece on native bees. One of California's native bees is the stunning Western Bumble Bee (Bombus occidentalis), which sadly is in major decline. Many people aren't aware that there are easy ways to take action today to help native bees. Easy steps such as planting native flowers, building homes for native bees and restoring wildlife habitats. Thanks to Acterra Stewardship and the UC Berkeley team for this event!

Red Bull not underestimating rivals
|By Jonathan Noble and Pablo Elizalde
|Friday, March 5th 2010, 10:52 GMT
Red Bull Racing's boss Christian Horner says his team is not underestimating any rivals, despite being adamant that it is ready to take the championship this year.
Red Bull finished last season as the strongest outfit and heads to Bahrain as one of the main candidates for victory in the season opener.
Horner admits the Milton Keynes-based squad has only been focusing on its own performance rather than looking at what the opposition is doing, but he acknowledges that no rival can be underestimated, as he reckons there will be no team dominating this season.
"To be honest, we've tried our best to ignore what's going on with everyone else," Horner told AUTOSPORT. "With the fuel loads, it's just so difficult to predict what people are doing.
"We're only in control of our own destiny, we've made good steps between Abu Dhabi and now, some of which you won't see until Bahrain.
"What has impressed me more than anything is the commitment from the factory. It's been phenomenal - seven days a week has been the norm for many of our staff. What we saw last year is that it will go in waves, I don't think you're going to have one dominant team throughout the year.
"We finished the year with a great car, and we've evolved from that. Ferrari and Alonso look strong, and one thing I've learned is never to underestimate the opposition. "
Horner is convinced that, despite being a young team, Red Bull has all the ingredients to emerge as champion this season.
But he concedes the team will not get obsessed with the title, and will focus on doing the best job in each race.
"We just need to take one race at a time, try to maximise everything we have and the championship will take care of itself," Horner added. "I think you can get too focused on the championship. We just want to get the most we can out of every weekend.
"Do we have the tools to do the job? Yes I do. Mark's in great shape, we're very fortunate that we have a good balance of youth and experience. They work together very well and they push each other on."
The Red Bull boss also believes managing the tyres well will be crucial to achieving success now that refuelling is banned.
"The key thing is understanding of the tyre. It's important for us. Parity of engine power is important because you can't run with your shoelaces tied together effectively. That's something the FIA are acutely aware of.
"Reliability will be key, consistency is going to be vital. All these aspects contribute to a championship."

D'Annunzio" Chieti, Italy.
Correspondence and requests for reprints should be addressed to Prof. Sensi, Clinica Medica, Policlinico Colle dell'Ara, Via Vestini, 66013 Chieti Scalo, Italy; telephone and fax: 39-0871-551562; e-mail: 〈firstname.lastname@example.com〉.
The authors acknowledge funding support from the Ministry of the University, Scientific Research and Technology, for postgraduate medical education research, and from internal medicine residency resources. They thank the rector of Chieti University, the dean of the Medical School, and the president of the Board of Physicians for their contributions and support. They also thank the members of the Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Gynecology-Pediatrics Faculty Commissions for their collaboration and useful suggestions, which were instrumental in developing a national MLE based on the multimedia integrated pilot project.
Purpose: To evaluate a new method, used for the first time in Italy, of administering the Medical Licensing Examination (MLE).
Method: Eighty medical school graduates taking the MLE were studied. The MLE was based on the Multimedia Integrated Pilot Project (MIPP), a single two-step examination that combines computer-based case simulations (step 1) and clinical encounters using standardized patients (step 2). Step 1 assessed mainly clinical knowledge and decision-making skills. Step 2 measured the ability to obtain a focused history, perform a relevant physical examination, prioritize a differential diagnosis and management plan, and provide patient education or counseling. The correlations between the total MIPP scores and the exam scores students obtained during the six-year medical school curriculum were evaluated.
Results: The step 1, step 2, and total MIPP scores were moderately correlated with the curriculum scores. A moderate correlation also existed between the scores reported in step 1 and those of step 2.
Conclusions: The MIPP is a good tool for assessing clinical competence. Internationally, computer-based and standardized patient assessments are being used more often in licensing examinations. Continuous use of this method could improve medical graduates' performances.
In Italy, the Medical Licensing Examination (MLE) is governed by a law enacted in 19561 and is offered twice a year (spring and autumn) at each national university. Examinees must be tested by three examination commissions: internal medicine, general surgery, and pediatrics and gynecology, with the presentation of relevant clinical cases. Italian clinical skills assessment is based on direct clinical encounters with three real patients presenting clinical problems involving clinical cases in internal medicine, general surgery, obstetrics—gynecology, and pediatrics. After the encounters, the examinee must provide a written report with the patient's history, physical examination findings, and an initial management plan, and carry out a bedside discussion with the respective examination commission.
In the 1999 spring session of the MLE, Chieti University implemented computer-based case simulations and standardized patients (SPs) in the Multimedia Integrated Pilot Project (MIPP) administration.2 The MIPP is a single two-step examination that combines computer-based long and short clinical case simulations with clinical encounters using SPs for assessing examinees' clinical competence.
The MIPP is founded on the principle that clinical competence comprises knowledge, gestures, behaviors, and decision-making skills in patient management, taking into account cost—benefit considerations.3 All components of clinical competence cannot be assessed with a single tool. Compared with the previous method of administering the MLE, the MIPP may measure medical school graduates' levels of clinical competence in history taking, physical examination, and interpersonal skills more effectively and objectively as well as measure their abilities to produce an initial diagnostic workup and a management plan.
In the first examination session of 1999 we examined 80 medical school graduates who had completed the curriculum during the 1997-98 academic year, including the postgraduate six-month internship period. The group of examinees was relatively homogeneous: 73 were graduates of our university, four were graduates of other Italian universities, and three were foreign medical graduates. Their mean age was 25 years (SD: 1), and 42 were women. Their lengths of study ranged from six to eight years: 15 had experienced a one-year delay, and five a two-year delay. The medical school curriculum is nationally regulated; the student must pass 11 examinations in the preclinical period (six semesters of basic sciences) and 25 in the clinical period (six semesters of clinical sciences).
The MIPP was composed of two parts.
Four long simulated clinical cases or problems and four short ones were presented simultaneously to 40 examinees at a time, in two computerized examination rooms, ensuring each encountered the same level of difficulty. The long clinical cases were selected from a database containing 120 simulated clinical cases that were periodically updated and divided into different sections (e.g., cardiology, pneumonology, surgery, dermatology). Each of these computer-based case simulations provided the examinees with information about a patient's history, physical examination findings, and initial laboratory results. The examinees were then shown a succession of numbered decision options and were required to rate them, evaluating the appropriateness of each choice for patient management (diagnosis and therapy), by assigning them different scores. The computer program also presented tutorial points to the examinees, which were mainly designed to test clinical knowledge and reasoning using true/false and multiple-choice questions (MCQs). The program, acting as a tutor, delivered questions, which the subjects had to answer before proceeding. The MCQs involved proposed differential diagnoses; interpretation of such diagnostic studies as x-rays, electrocardiographic tracings, and ultrasonograms; and physical findings.4 Each long clinical simulation included between 35 and 55 decision options and five to 15 tutorial points, while each short case simulation contained five to eight decision options. The computer-based examination was evaluated with unweighted scores for the tutorial points (assigning one point for each item answered correctly and no point for a wrong answer) and with weighted scores for the decision options. The weight was assigned according to diagnostic usefulness, risk, and cost—effectiveness.
The second step of the MIPP exam consisted of four clinical encounters with SPs presenting common problems involving internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics. The examinees were given background information before the SP encounter, i.e., a description of the chief complaint. They were then required to obtain a focused history, perform a physical examination, and prepare post-encounter notes offering a differential diagnosis and diagnostic workup plan. Each case required 25 minutes for its administration-15 minutes for the SP encounter and ten minutes for the examinee to complete the post-encounter notes.5
The examination commission involved three faculty physicians for each case who directly observed the encounters with SPs. These observers were physician faculty, working in teaching hospitals, who had already participated and trained as observers in the SP examinations administered at the university since 1996. Two of the three faculty observers independently checked off items on a history and physical examination checklist developed by a panel of faculty members. The checklist contained a fixed number of items covering the information that should be obtained during a good medical interview. The faculty observers also assessed interpersonal skills through a standardized questionnaire6 that evaluated an examinee's interviewing skills, counseling skills, rapport, and manner. This questionnaire was rated on a five-point Likert scale.
For the SP examinations, scores were determined by summing the history and physical examination items each examinee correctly completed with respect to the total number of checklist items. For scoring purposes, only the items checked off by both observers were computed. At the end of the examination session, the entire commission evaluated the post-encounter notes. The scoring of post-encounter notes was obtained by summing the correct keywords used for history, physical examination, differential diagnosis, and diagnostic plan.
The total MIPP score combined the computer simulation step 1 score and the simulated patient step 2 score. The highest possible number of correct answers (step 1 + step 2) was a 110/110 score. Ministry regulations determined the pass—fail cutoff of 66/110. The total curriculum score represented the mean score for all 36 examinations each examinee took. The preclinical and clinical scores corresponded to the mean scores for the 11 and 25 examinations, respectively. The relationship between the MIPP-based examination score and the curriculum score was evaluated by Pearson's correlation coefficient. The data were analyzed using a standard statistical software package.
Table 1 shows that the step 1, step 2, and total MIPP scores were moderately correlated with the preclinical, clinical, and total curriculum scores (p <.001, p <.01, and p <.001, respectively). Furthermore, a moderate correlation existed between step 1 and step 2 scores (r =.44, p <.001). We also compared the checklists checked off by the faculty observers to assess the method's reliability. The faculty observers reliably recorded the information obtained from the history, the physical examination maneuvers performed, and the initial diagnostic and management plan, with inter-rater (first observer and second observer) reliability coefficients ranging from .8 to .9. Less agreement occurred with respect to communication-skills scores, with inter-rater reliabilities ranging from .7 to .8. Of the 80 examinees, seven (8.75%) failed to reach the pass—fail cutoff score.
The MIPP appears to offer many innovations compared with previous MLE administrations, and better assessment methods are likely to improve the clinical examination performances of the examinees.7 We documented a good reliability coefficient between the ratings of the two observers. Testing the validity of a method for the assessment of clinical competence can be difficult because no evaluation method provides a "gold standard" for comparison.8,9 With SP encounters, global ratings by a panel of physician-faculty observers could represent a reliable criterion.10,11 The moderate correlation we found between the curriculum scores of the examinees and the total MIPP scores obtained on this new examination could be an acceptable validity criterion. Furthermore, the moderate correlation between step 1 and step 2 scores could be explained by the fact that none of the graduates had received previous training with SPs. Clinical encounters with SPs are not taught during the undergraduate period, only during the internship. In fact, the students trained in clinical encounters with SPs the following year performed better on the SP examination (unpublished data). We hope such correlation coefficients will improve in our future administrations of the MIPP.
In 1989, eight key North American medical organizations established the Clinical Skills Assessment Alliance (CSAA) to promote and refine the incorporation of SPs and computer simulations into standard assessment systems.12 Our previous experience with using the MIPP for the Internal Medicine Residency admission examination and, now, for the administration of the MLE convinced us to incorporate the CSAA's suggestions. Our MIPP-based MLE was not a mere didactic experiment, but a legal certifying examination valid for licensure, and the MIPP was conducted in accordance with the rules of the Italian University Ministry.
Other recent developments also prompted our development of the MIPP. In 1998 the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates coordinated a pilot study with seven Italian medical schools, in which 173 students were required to submit to clinical competence assessment using SPs, completing an international study of clinical skills assessment.6 The participating students rated the study favorably—68% regarded including SP encounters in the MLE as appropriate.13 And recently, the Federation of State Medical Boards and the National Board of Medical Examiners, the sponsoring organizations of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), have been planning to implement computer-based testing for the USMLE. MCQs and true/false questions are no longer administered using paper and pencil, but delivered by computer. Computer-based case simulations are also part of the examination. Furthermore, the strategic plan for the USMLE includes the development of a standardized patient test to assess clinical skills. This confirms an international tendency toward adoption of a combination of these new assessment methods, as the CSAA suggested years ago. An ideal clinical competence assessment tool should effectively, reliably, and objectively measure all the components of clinical competence. These components are basic knowledge and performance, which includes skills in history taking, performing a physical examination, formulating the most likely diagnosis, establishing a management plan, and communication and interpersonal relations.12 Presently, many medical school faculty members are aware that, for assessment purposes, real-life encounters or bedside oral examinations cannot be duplicated and are unreliable, subjective, unethical for the patient, and time-consuming. The computer-based case simulations can effectively assess skills in differential diagnosis, diagnostic test utilization, management planning, and basic knowledge, but cannot evaluate the candidate's history taking, physical examination, and communication skills. We believe the combined use of computer-based simulations and SPs can provide a more objective, reproducible, and pertinent assessment of both knowledge and performance.

Robert Cameron of Belzona Houston on

There are two-part epoxies available that are tolerant to surface contaminants. I would remove loose contaminants with hand tools and even refer to SSPC-SP 11, Power Tool Cleaning to Bare Metal, if possible on the galvanized section (no need to knock off the galvanized layer if it is tightly adhered). Then mask the powder-coated area, and apply two coats of this two-part, surface- tolerant epoxy.
Karen Fischer of Amstar of Western New York, Inc. on
November 19, 2013:
Though there isn't much information here as to what kind of structure this might be and how the two materials are connected (fixed or movable), my first inclination would be to isolate the two dissimilar metals with a neutral, non-reactive material of some kind to eliminate the direct contact between these two metals. Clearly, the galvanized metal is reacting with the powder-coated material. I don't know what kind of structure this is, but some type of rubber or plastic spacer may be enough to stop this reaction. Painting of the galvanized metal may not provide sufficient isolation, especially if the connection is movable. Repair and re-galvanizing the corroded area can then be accomplished.
Carl Thompson of Hill Brothers on
November 11, 2013:
I would tape the powder-coated aluminum where it meets the steel. Aluminum is amphoteric and can be attacked by either acid or alkali. Treat the galvanized steel with a 20% solution of phosphoric acid. Wait 15 minutes, then wipe the rust and corrosion away. If some corrosion remains, repeat the process. When cleaned, neutralize the galvanized steel with a very dilute solution of ammonia. You should see a white residue on the surface . This is an oxide of phosphoric and should help keep further corrosion away. Any holes developed from corrosion should be filled with a metallic, 2-part epoxy putty. If painting is desired, brush away any loose white powder with a stiff copper brush and proceed. To prevent any galvanic reaction between the aluminum and the stainless steel, painting the galvanized metal would be preferred.

And will you look at this: After a one-off, surprise reunion show at the Cat's Cradle back in January, the mighty Archers of Loaf have announced a reunion tour that brings them to New York for two shows—June 25th at Music Hall and June 26 at Webster Hall. Tickets go on sale Friday at noon.
The rest of the tour is, in reality, more a series of mini-tours, with the band playing on 17 shows in 12 cities over the course of three months. One imagines there could be more announcements to come. In the meantime, let's watch every Archers of Loaf video the internet has to offer.

We're playing Green Bay in Green Bay ... That's where they've been very dominant, really, in terms of getting ahead and playing from ahead, first quarter. The numbers are staggering.
We've got to try to find some way to stay competitive in the game to at least turn it into a game and not be trying to play from 28, 31 points behind in the first half.

Making it with water purified via reverse osmosis could have possibly prevented the problem too, ingesting that much fluoride is awful! (Some kids who live in areas with fluoridated water end up with bone and teeth deformities from ODing on it.)
But the bigger issue, 100 tea bags a day? O_O That's a more expensive addiction than <insert illegal drug here>! How could that taste like anything other than "bitter"...
Posted 22 March 2013 - 16:40
It's debated. A lot of countries in Europe don't fluoridate their water and their tooth decay rates have gone down at almost the same amount as America's (who does fluoridate their water) has.
Teeth deformities? What do you mean? Fluoride is put into the water to prevent tooth decay.

I was able to remove the CIS cartridges without getting the error by holding down the printhead very firmly as I unclipped and removed the ink. After I removed it, I then re-seated and clicked the ink cartridges back into place and clicked "Start". The printer then does a check but goes back to the screen that says, "Cannot recognize cartridge(s). Try installing them again."
What can I do now? It's not going to the screen where it tells me I am using unofficial ink cartridges.
