So we wonder what in the world Breath of Hope is thinking with all the flimsy excuses and smoke screens and double-talk when it comes to the "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness" Trademark.
A few important points.
- The March of Dimes has trademarked "Prematurity Awareness Day". "Prematurity Awareness DAY". Notice the DAY? :)
- The March of Dimes didn't and wouldn't trademark "Prematurity Awareness" because it would be unethical and millions of parents of premature babies would be in an uproar.
- "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness" is the ONLY trademark in the entire United States of America solely filed on awareness of a health issue. Other organizations have filed trademarks on specific events or fundraisers - March of Dimes' "Prematurity Awareness DAY" - but not for all awareness of a health issue.
- No one cares if Breath of Hope trademarks "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness Day". No one. Really. We've said this all along. Breath of Hope made the decision to trademark "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness" instead. Then did the other one as well.
- 100's of CDH families are against this trademark. Including members of Breath of Hope, Inc.
- Almost 100 pediatric surgeons and nurses have signed the petition against the "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness" trademark.
- When you file a trademark on something as important as "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness" and tick off 1000's of people and threaten CDH families and organizations, I wouldn't say that "CHERUBS started it".
- Breath of Hope, Inc and Elizabeth Doyle-Propst are now saying that all CDH organizations, families and researchers must ask their permission before we use the phrase "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness" on any goods and services that Breath of Hope offers. That means that any brochures, newsletter, fundraising items, shirts, events, etc - would have to get "permission" from Elizabeth Doyle-Propst and no doubt give Breath of Hope, Inc the proceeds. Even though CHERUBS was offering these services 8 years before Breath of Hope existed. Several CDH organizations have been around before BoH. This includes the CDH Researchers and CDH Clinics as well.
- This includes cafepress and zazzle products - to which they have already filed complaints. CHERUBS has been on cafepress for 7 years. 3 years before BoH even existed.
- If you start a new goods or service that Breath of Hope currently does not offer - there is no protection that they will not copy your idea and then claim trademark over it. They are known to imitate the work of others - the entire structure and even original name and all the original members of Breath of Hope, Inc came from CHERUBS.
- The trademark on "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness" is on the supplemental registry, not the main registry. Which makes it ILLEGAL for Breath of Hope, Inc. to threaten anyone who uses the phrase.
- Why did we file the Petition to Cancel? To get this trademark removed and stop this drama and the threats from Breath of Hope, Inc and make sure that it NEVER makes it on the regular registry.
- This trademark on "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness" is filed by 1 person, Elizabeth Doyle-Propst. Where is the rest of BoH's Board in all this? It is quite obvious that the Board of Directors at Breath of Hope, Inc. is in name only and either does not know what their "CEO" is doing or they do not care. Or they are the most gullible and naive people to ever walk the face of the earth after being given 100's of pieces of evidence, including court documents, a petition with over 5500 signatures including many of their members and ex-Board of Directors and a voice recording from a court proceeding.
- Elizabeth Doyle-Propst has no medical or legal training. She is not a doctor. She is not a researcher. She is not a lawyer. She has little personal experience with CDH (no disrespect to the memory of her daughter - just stating facts here). No experience with taking full care of a CDH child. Her CDH "research" is compliments of Google. She cannot get along with other CDH parents or groups and has a long, long history of conflicts. This is not a person who should be entrusted with owning "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness". Who decided she should file for this trademark and be in charge of CDH Awareness? She did.
- Elizabeth has said that we can all say "CDH Awareness" without fear.... isn't that nice? But how is it raising awareness if no one knows what CDH stands for?!
- The "Pinkwashing" excuse is ridiculous and the only ones who think it holds any water is the Breath of Hope, Inc Board of Directors. This excuse defies all common sense and the statistics are not even valid. Does BoH not realize that CDH parents know this?
CDH families are very intelligent people. You can read their comments with the signatures here - http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/cdhawareness/signatures.html
So what is behind the "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness" trademark? One woman's need for control, revenge and greed. Those are the only reasons that seem remotely plausible.
There is not ounce of care and concern for CDH families behind the "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness" trademark.
CDH families are very intelligent people. It's extremely disrespectful to the entire CDH community to file the trademark. Then attack CDH families and organizations. Then ignore their wishes. Then ignore the wishes of the researchers. Then try to excuse this behavior with ridiculous dribble.
We know what's right for our children and the memories of those cherubs who didn't survive. We know what is ethical and what is self-absorbed.
CDH families are very intelligent people. We know what is right and wrong. This is wrong.
Once again, for the hundredth time.... the entire CDH community - including now 9 CDH organizations and over 5500 people - including over 100 doctors and nurses from ALL the country's CDH clinics and fetal centers - including 100's of CDH families - including Breath of Hope members - including former Breath of Hope Directors..... as we form 1 huge, global collective sigh.....
Enough is enough, Elizabeth.

You guys loved my 60's eye, and it's actually super easy so here's a tutorial! Full product list on the bottom of this post.
Prime the eyelid and set with powder to make sure we have a smooth surface to work with. Use a light eyeshadow and add all over the lid, pressing it on with your fingers. You could use any color really, but for a true 60's eye i'd recommend a light blue, white or minty green.
Take a darker shadow and nest it into your crease. If it comes down slightly onto your lid that's okay, no need to keep this look 100% perfect. Focus on the other corners, we want to enlarge and elongate the eye. Don't forget the lower lash line.
Take a black matte eyeshadow and a small tilted brush and frame the eye. If you have a steady hand then you can use an eyeliner, but i find this to be the easiest way when shaping the eye. And the result is slighly softer and more forgiving to mistakes. Also feel free to deepen the shade in your eye socket, it might need to be balanced out.
Take a darker liner and add some drama! I used a gel liner and then packed matte eyeshadow on top. Make sure to go heavy on the lower lashes, it will be balanced out once the mascara is on. Every eye shape is unique so do an eyeliner shape you feel comfortable in. I have almond shaped eyes and prefer a thinner feline flick.
Add tons of mascara and YOU ARE DONE! Pair this look with a peachy blush, strong brows and nude lips for a true 60's feel.
Here you get a better idea of how the crease looks. It's not perfect but it doesn't matter honestly. This is for every day use and for beginners.

A delightful account of the life and work of Giambattista Tiepolo.
The eighteenth-century Venetian painter Giambattista Tiepolo spent his life executing commissions in churches, palaces, and villas, often covering vast ceilings like those at the Würzburg Residenz in Germany and the Royal Palace in Madrid with frescoes that are among the glories of Western art. The life of an epoch swirled around him – but though his contemporaries appreciated and admired him, they failed to understand him.
Few have even attempted to tackle Tiepolo's series of thirty-three bizarre and haunting etchings, the Capricci and the Scherzi, but Roberto Calasso rises to the challenge, interpreting these etchings as chapters in a dark narrative that contains the secret of Tiepolo's art. Blooming ephebes, female satyrs, Oriental sages, owls, snakes: we will find them all, including Punchinello and Death, within the pages of this book, along with Venus, Time, Moses, numerous angels, Cleopatra and Beatrice of Burgundy – a motley, gypsyish company always on the go.
Calasso makes clear that Tiepolo was more than a dazzling intermezzo in the history of painting. Rather, he represented a particular way of meeting the challenge of form: endowed with a fluid, seemingly effortless style, Tiepolo was the last incarnation of that peculiar Italian virtue sprezzatura, the art of not seeming artful.

So you're preparing for a big tour on the back of your new album, Surrender – how does it feel to be in Hurts right now?
It's great. It feels brilliant. We've just put out the new album out and it's been received pretty well. As an album we were visiting some unfamiliar territory, so you never know how it will play, so it's a relief that people seem to like it.
Surrender seems like a much brighter and pop-fused album than Exile. Was this a deliberate tweak of direction, or more of a natural evolution?
It was a mix of both, really. I think Surrender was a reaction to Exile, actually. We recorded that one in the rain in Manchester, and it was something of a dark concept album – driven and draining. So for Surrender we thought we'd get rid of the shackles and make an album that was a complete 180 opposite to the last one. We travelled a lot while we were writing the songs. We enjoyed ourselves first and thought about the music second, and I think that's reflected in the music. I think it's been the most enjoyable album we've made. It's fluid. At our core we've always been a pop band, anyway, so we wanted to make a big pop album that was energetic and bright. And we were conscious of that when we were doing it. I thought about all the great pop albums by my favourite artists. Look at Bowie when he did Let's Dance. He decided to embrace pop, and it was such a fresh and exhilarating album. The Cure too, when they did The Head On The Door. They expressed themselves in a whole new way on that one.

The Pretender Episode Guide
A trip down memory lane.
Episode Guide | Crazy
Season 3
Story by: Steven Long Mitchell, Craig Van Sickle and Larry Meyers
Teleplay by: Steven Long Mitchell and Craig Van Sickle
Directed by: Fred Keller
Original Air Date: 10-17-98
Jarod pretends to be a psychiatric patient to rescue a sane woman who is being held there under heavy medication by an unscrupulous doctor.
As mentioned in the write up of the 'PRISON STORY', this episode was one we'd intended for season one but we had to wait for season three to finally produce. All things considered, it was the perfect story to kick off the new season.
The idea of Jarod locked in an asylum, pretending to be crazy, while telling the psychiatrist the truth about his past (which only made him sound more crazy) served us in two ways. First, it was a great way for us to wonder if Jarod had, in fact, finally 'lost it', something even Sydney held out as a possibility of the pressures of Jarod's life finally coming back to haunt him. And secondly, having Jarod tell his psychiatrist his true life story about being taken from his family as a child and raised by an organization that exploited his gift as a Pretender, also served as a great re-education for continuing fans and a crash course in Pretender history for new viewers.
The show was a classic 'Pretender'. Jarod pulling off a convincing ruse about his shattered psyche to gain the confidence of the doctors, while his real motive is to help a patient who is very much sane, but being held by doctors who drug her to keep her mentally unstable and therefore confined. It has a classic takedown and was an all around excellent show.
On the Centre side, this episode served as a great way to redefine Miss Parker's resolve and course of action as she pursued the killer of her mother, the trail of which now lead to Jarod's father as the perpetrator. This revelation really allowed the focus of catching Jarod to turn more personal than it had been, and that resolve fueled Miss Parker on her quest even more – that, and the fact that she learns for sure that Mr. Lyle is her brother.
All and all, we we're very pleased with this episode. Andrea Parker and Michael T. never looked better and the series really began to mature during the filming of this show.
The location of the psychiatric institute was a magnificent abandoned school/estate called Anoakia, in Arcadia. The school was named after the owner's daughter, Anita, and his favorite tree, the oak. The scene in which you see Jarod finding the car with the skeleton in the lake actually took place in an old empty swimming pool on the estate (put a skeleton in an old car, place it inside an empty pool, fill the pool with water and you have movie magic). Michael T. shot those scenes at about midnight, swimming repeatedly into the bright lights, eyes wide open while reacting to the horrific sight.
Sadly, Anoakia has since been demolished.
Little Known Fact:
The scene in which you see Jarod finding the car with the skeleton in the lake actually took place in an old empty swimming pool on the estate.

Payday loans are one of the most popular ways to acquire easy loans. You can conveniently acquire a payday loan and pay the money back on your next paycheck. The requirements to get the loan are easy to surpass for many people.
Most of us don't questions why payday loans give easy money to almost anyone. We fail to realize that some companies and people aim at taking money from unsuspecting people using payday loans as a disguise. Payday scams are more common than you think and it can be hard to tell a trusted lender and a conman apart. Here is how you can avoid payday scams.
Before applying to any payday loan sites, check for the licence. A legitimate payday loan company must comply with all legal laws concerning money lending. Payday sites with licences are good to borrow form because you can take legal actions in case any problems occur. Fraudulent payday loan lenders are unlicensed or operate outside your region to avoid any government regulations. This means when you borrow money from them, your services are not protected and they have power to apply their own laws.
Do not provide your personal or confidential information. People attempting to scam you and steal your personal identity may be on the other end of the screen. Payday loans do not require more than age confirmation, income and an account to deposit your loans. Any site asking for more may just be a scam, with people waiting for information to use it for their benefits.
Look out for hidden fees in the agreements. Before you take out a loan, you should learn the interest rates, loan expiry dates and consequences for late payment. Read and understand the terms of service even before creating an account. Hidden fees are applied to unsuspecting customers and they feed the interest of the lender. If the interest rates are two high, avoid taking the loan.
Look for information on the company to see their track record and whether they have past violations. If they do, investigate on the information to check if it is reliable. Look at their ratings and reviews, you may find some important information about the company.
Scammers disguised as payday lenders will ask for and advanced payment to cover registration and service costs. Remember, payday loans do not charge anything except for the interest on the loans. If you encounter such a situation, report the company immediately. Genuine payday lenders collect their money and interest upon the provided deadline.
It is easy to deal with payday services. All you do is provide the required information and ask for a loan, you receive it almost immediately. However, there is a disadvantage to this; it is easy to deal with one on one communication so you can clearly understand the terms of the service. Opt for a payday loan service with contact information or physical locations where you can talk to a representative in person.
Not all payday services are scams, but do not just borrow money anyhow. Make sure you follow these tips to escape any form of fraud.

Evolution beam wiper blades have an aerodynamic symmetrical spoiler that helps provide a consistent wipe.

Therefore, Lord Krishna had not married RadhaNews March 20, 2018, Comments Off 88
Whenever it comes to love stories, its saga begins first with the story of Radhe Shyam. If you believe in old age, then when love emerges, then the love story of Lord Radha is told. This love story of Dwapar era is still going on.
In other words, when the story of Radha and Shri Krishna is mentioned in the story, it is of course that this question arises in everyone's case that when Krishna loved Radha, why did he not marry her? Well, that many stories about this are available in our ancient myths.
What is said in the stories about the saga of both of them, today we are going to refer to him today through this report.
As you know, Lord Vishnu used to incarnate on earth again and again, when Vishnu took the Avatar, his wife Lakshmi would have been incarnated with him in some form of Avatar. When Vishnu incarnate as Ram, then Lakshmi had incarnated as Sita, when he became Sri Krishna, then Lakshmi took the form of Rukmani. It is said that Rukmini was born at King Bhishmat, but it is said that after birth, Pootana had tried to kill her like Krishna, After this, when Pootana was taking her away, then Rukmini started to increase her weight. Due to this, when Pooatana dropped her on the earth, then Rukmini fall on a lotus flower in a lake in Mathura.
After this, Vrushavaan, who was passing by there along with his wife and took that child and raised her like his own daughter, and after raising Rukmini, He changed her name to Radha from Rukmini.
After this you must have information of all about Radha and Krishna's Raslila. But Lord Krishna, who loves Radha, went away leaving Radha, but he thought that he would marry only her when he returns. But in the meantime, Rukmini's father Bhishmaat realized that Radha is his daughter and he took her along with him to Vidarbha state.
Vidarbh state was counted among the enemies of Krishna. Therefore, Bhishmaat is doing the same thing as Rukmini's marriage, but on this day, Krishna Rukmini, who kidnaps Radha aka Rukmini and makes her his wife.
According to thos story the Radha and the Rukmini were the same, so Radha and Krishna were not married.
This story is described in Mahabharata.

TomTom GO 700 In Car GPS Satellite Navigation With European Mapping & tooth, Excellent buy for carefree travel
- By : Aldi Stico
- Category : Sat Navs
- Tags: TomTom 1D00.760
I have only had the tom tom 700 for a week, but i have already fallen in love with it. It worked straight out of the box, picking up the gps signal and fixing my location within 60 seconds on first use, and almost immediately on subsequent use. It is easy to fit into the car, and the user interface is very intuitive – so there is hardly any need to read the manual: great for blokeson the move, navigation instructions are very clear – you are given plenty of advance warning about turns and then reminded again when you reach the point to make a manouevre. It would be very difficult to go wrong, but if you do, or if you choose to ignore the directions, the unit very quickly recalculates the route. As well as the voice instructions the 3d map and route display on the screen is also excellent. Other excellent features include the bluetooth phone integration – the sound quality from the speaker is very good, and people at the other end report no sound problems, so most people shouldn't need the (optional) external microphone. The system integrated well with my phone, enabling me to download my address book, and dial people with a couple of clicks on the tom tom screen. Re-chargeable internal battery is useful – it will go for at least three or four hours on a full charge, avoiding the need to use the 12v charger cable in the car for most journeys. Postcode searching is also very precise, and quicker than entering an address.
Excellent invest in for carefree travel. Utilised it in switzerland for my to start with at any time vacation to the place and by no means obtained shed. Except for the few of minutes it requires to discover a signal when you flip it on, it is an indispensible software for driving everywhere in western europe (assuming its maps for other nations are as great as its map of switzerland). For improved effects, also get on your own an external antenna.

Right after a trip to france tomtom was terrific but – factors of interest are limited, and a person downside was it had the a28 open when it is just not. Straightforward to reroute after you know that, but annoying if you failed to. I experienced a again up in the form of a navman and it failed on day 2 with an error concept and would not restart. Less difficult than map studying but nevertheless have a single.
Tomtom go 700 – magnificent piece of package. I acquired this exclusively for a driving holiday break in germany and it took us from zeebrugge to our cologne lodge, cologne to our baden baden hotel, baden baden to our heidelberg lodge, a side trip to the mercedes museum in stuttgart and back to zeebrugge. Each individual time it was 100% on the funds to the correct avenue range and was like an additional family members member. Under no circumstances was a driving vacation such a satisfaction. Truly amazing and i have experienced no challenges. Pertaining to freezing and many others, i did feel i experienced a issue when linking to my notebook for upgrades and so forth when it froze and took time to reappear but this was a fake alarm and all is very well. Definitely excellent – my new best good friend – and none of the dependability issues many others have had.
Ok experienced this little bit of kit now 2 months, and while i do love it, as other people have stated it can be extremely eccentric, specially driving all-around streets of london wherever it can get rid of signal. My spouse feels it prefers south of the river thames as its constantly directing us there through the blackwall tunnel and back again all over again by way of it. . Groan, also voice occasionally disppears and reappears most likely 15 mins later on. Regroan, and sure i'd have returned it in 30 days for substitution, but kept on giving it a further opportunity. Performs improved than the mercedes satnav in ml70 we had, which would in some cases get rid of course for twenty five minutes with 360 spinning path needle. So, when it performs perfectly its good, but desires a normal actuality check.
TomTom GO 700 In Car GPS Satellite Navigation With European Mapping & Bluetooth : Works straight from the box without any need for the detailed instruction booklet. We first used it from the box on a job in germany and it gave accurate journey information throughout germany and also back across into holland. The maps of spain and gibraltar are also spot-on, as are northern france. After one month the unit simply refused to switch on. Amazon sorted instantly but it looks like a software type of fault. Let's hope this fixes things because otherwise it is 10/10.

Objectives: Residency training programs are required to assess and document residents' competency in communication. Multisource evaluations that include direct resident observations are preferred. Previous studies have often used methods of asking faculty members to evaluate residents on behaviors they did not witness.
Methods: Twenty first year pediatric residents (interns) were evaluated preand post-FCR introduction by a faculty member, a parent, and a nurse after the encounter with the patients and their families during rounds. All participants used the CAT. Mean CAT scores and associations between the evaluator groups were determined.
Results: Nurses and faculty were significantly more likely to observe how interns communicated with the parents in the post-FCR period (P < .001). Pre-FCR, compared to parent scores, intern scores were significantly lower (P < .05) and the scores were not correlated (P = .84). Post-FCR, the difference in internparent scores disappeared and their scores were significantly correlated (r18 = 0.73, P < .001). Intern scores did not correlate with faculty and nurse scores. Cronbach a coefficients for the CAT ranged from 0.90 to 0.99.
Conclusions: Family-centered rounds provide more opportunities for direct observation of residents' competence in accordance with Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education guidelines. This rounds format also encourages a climate that improves residents' ability to self-assess. Residents' communication skills can be assessed by using the Communication Assessment Tool in an efficient and timely manner, because all evaluators are present at the bedside during family-centered rounds.
Communication is a core skill for the practice of medicine. Effective communication strengthens patient-physician relationships, improves patient health status, recall, treatment adherence, and satisfaction.1 The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Outcome Project, whose purpose is to demonstrate the effectiveness and accountability of educational programs, requires that residents must demonstrate competency in communication and interpersonal skills.2
Training programs are required to assess and document residents' competency in communication. Accurate assessment of competence requires direct observation of residents while they are performing the tasks of future real-life practice. Assessments should also be objective and come from multiple sources, including self-assessment, peers, other members of the medical team, and patients. The inclusion of multiple sources is known as multisource or 360-degree evaluation.3,4 This type of assessment provides more comprehensive accounts of resident performance.5 The multisource evaluation has been cited as potentially beneficial in helping residents to self-assess interpersonal and communication skills.6 However, previous studies on the evaluation of residents' communication and interpersonal skills have revealed that teaching attending physicians frequently were asked to evaluate residents on behaviors that they had not observed.5,7,8
In the inpatient setting, during traditional rounds, interactions between faculty evaluators and residents are not ideally conducive to observation of residents' humanistic skills.9 During traditional rounds, the medical team discusses a case in the classroom or the hallway, formulates a plan of care, and then enters the patient's room to deliver the plan to the patient and the family. With traditional rounds, the nurse is generally informed of the day's plan after rounds are completed. In contrast, during family-centered rounds (FCRs) families are invited to participate in clinical decisions along with a medical team comprising a teaching attending physician, a nurse, residents, medical students, and other support staff.10,–,13 A review of the literature reveals that patients and their families prefer bedside case presentations, including teaching at the bedside.14,–,16 In addition, several authors documented that residents and physicians felt that bedside physician's rounds provided more opportunities to model and directly observe communication skills.17,–,20 However, very little is known about the impact of FCR on medical education and assessment.
We hypothesized that FCR would add opportunities to assess residents' communication and interpersonal skills through direct observation. The primary objective of the current study was to assess the utility of FCR for evaluation of residents' communication skills by using the Communication Assessment Tool (CAT). The CAT is a reliable and valid instrument that measures the patient's perception of a physician's communication and interpersonal skills in both the outpatient and the inpatient setting.21,22 The secondary objective was to assess the reliability of the CAT as a tool for multisource evaluation of resident communication skills.
This is a secondary analysis of data from evaluations of communication and interpersonal skills in pediatric residents at an urban teaching hospital. Evaluations were available from 2 time periods, before and after introduction of FCR (herein labeled pre-FCR and post-FCR periods). Evaluations were multisource, that is, they were performed by a parent, a nurse, a faculty member, and a resident him/herself after an encounter with a parent during rounds. These evaluations were collected in compliance with ACGME requirements to document resident competencies in interpersonal and communication skills.
Our training program introduced the CAT as a 360-degree assessment tool for the evaluation of residents' communication and interpersonal skills in June 2008. FCRs were introduced 8 months later, in January 2009. This timing provided an opportunity to study the efficacy of FCR for evaluating residents' interpersonal and communication skills.
Twenty postgraduate year 1 residents (interns) at a large academic medical center were assessed from June 2008 through July 2009, during their inpatient rotations on the General Pediatric Floor. Interns' communication and interpersonal skills were studied because they have the most active role communicating with the families in our model of FCR. General pediatric patients are followed up primarily by a hospitalist group. The hospitalist group comprises 5 faculty physicians who practice primarily in an inpatient setting. Admissions by private pediatricians are infrequent. Private pediatricians do not conduct FCRs in our hospital.
During their first year of training, interns have 3 to 4 inpatient pediatric rotations. On average, they carry 3 patients on the hospitalist service, and patients on other subspecialty services, as well. The hospitalist team consists of 2 interns, 1 to 2 residents, 1 to 2 medical students, and 1 faculty physician (attending). The faculty physician covers all patients on the hospitalist team. Medical students follow some of the cases on the hospitalist team, and, as such, they present those patients on rounds. However, on a day when an intern evaluation is scheduled, the intern presents the case. Five faculty physicians, 15 nurses, and 84 parents participated in the evaluation of resident communication and interpersonal skills.
Evaluation Instrument
The CAT was developed by Makoul and colleagues.21 This is a 15-item instrument written at the fourth grade reading level that uses a 5-point response scale with a maximum score of 75. Fourteen items focus on physician-patient communication (eg, "Talked in terms I could understand," "Treated me with respect"), and 1 focuses on staff communication. The CAT can be used for medical students and residents by eliminating the item regarding the physician's staff and by using different introductions. We have adapted the CAT for use by other team members with simple rephrasing (eg, "Talked in terms parent could understand," "Treated the parent with respect").21 With the primary author's permission, we replaced the item that focused on the staff, "The doctor's staff treated me with respect," with the following question: "Checked if parent agreed with the plan of care." Parents evaluated only 1 intern each, whereas nurses and faculty evaluated on average 3 interns. For this study, the CAT was available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Russian.
The CAT has been used successfully to assess adult hospitalists' communication and interpersonal skills.22 In our study, all 4 evaluators used the CAT for assessment of interns' communication skills during FCR. The reliability of the measurements was assessed with internal consistency coefficients. The validity of the appraisals of interns' communication skills was inferred by using correlations among raters' scores.23
Data Collection Methods
On the designated day during the second or third week of each intern's inpatient rotation, the chief resident distributed CAT forms to parents, faculty, nurses, and the intern after encounters with designated families during rounds. The forms were coded so that names of interns and families were not recorded. The goal was to obtain at least 1 set of evaluations per intern per rotation.
A convenience sampling was used to select parents to participate. All parents of patients whose interns were evaluated on a given day were asked to participate. Parents were informed that the evaluation was confidential and gave verbal consent. Parents and nurses were informed that the purpose of using the CAT was to help to identify strengths and weaknesses in residents' interpersonal and communication skills and that the evaluation was performed in agreement with ACGME requirements.
Forms were completed by FCR participants and collected by the chief resident on the day of the encounter with the family and were placed in each resident's education file.
The key to link the code to intern identity was maintained in the Pediatric Residency Program Director's office. For this study, CAT ratings were obtained from the education files without identifiers. The institutional review board at Weill Cornell Medical College approved this study as a part of a standard educational project.
All residents, nurses, and physicians were oriented to FCR before its introduction in January 2009 through a modified FCR workshop developed at Cincinnati Children's Medical Center.24 A brief overview of the CAT was included in the workshop, but no other formal training was provided.
All available, de-identified CAT forms from the resident educational files were analyzed for completeness by generating frequency tables of individual items. Individual residents had 1 to 4 sets of evaluations from each time period. Each set contained 1 parent, 1 faculty, 1 nurse, and 1 intern self-assessment form. Multiple assessments of a resident were composited within each phase by using means.
Data from the CAT were not normally distributed (they clustered at the high end of the scale). This finding has been described in other patient-reported ratings of their experience with physicians.25 Jones and Sasser26 have suggested that any response below the maximum may indicate that some aspect of the participant's experience was not acceptable. To overcome this limitation, it has been suggested that the percentage of "excellent" ratings per item answers, which leads to broader spectrum of scores, be calculated.21 This approach requires 20 to 30 completed CAT forms per intern. Unfortunately, because of the limited number of evaluations in our study, we used statistical corrections to normalize data for analysis. Specifically, the CAT scores were submitted to natural log transformations before analyses.
To analyze intraindividual stability, CAT scores were compared between the pre-FCR and post-FCR periods for the 15 interns who had self-evaluations and parental evaluations available from both time periods. Paired t tests were used to compare the normalized CAT scores, and Pearson correlation coefficients were used to assess associations between CAT scores. Cronbach α was used to examine the internal consistency for CAT scores.
Of 20 interns, 17 interns had their communication and interpersonal skills assessed during the first time period (pre-FCR, traditional rounds), 18 interns were assessed during the second time period (post-FCR), and 15 interns had assessments from both time periods.
A total of 108 sets (432 individual forms) were distributed. Four sets of completed forms were excluded from analysis for the pre-FCR period and 2 sets for the post-FCR period because there were errors in recording study ID number, and the forms could not be associated with any intern. Twenty-four sets had missing forms. The overall response rate was 78% (84/108). Response rates were equivalent for the 4 groups of respondents: 78% for parents (84/108), 80% for nurses, and 80% residents (86/108 for each group), and 74% for faculty (80/108). The most common reason that forms were not completed was that patients were discharged before observations could be made or parent surveys were collected.
Communication Assessment Tool: Interrater Reliability Testing
Internal consistency (Cronbach α coefficient) was calculated for all evaluator groups. Overall scale reliability was high (α-coefficients 0.9–0.99). Also, α-coefficients were high when reliability was assessed per evaluator (Table 1),
Opportunities for Direct Observation
The submitted CAT forms were reviewed for data analyses by generating frequency tables of individual items. One scoring option on the CAT is to choose "not observed," indicating inadequate opportunity to make a judgment on an item; the other 5 options indicate frequencies with which a given behavior was observed. This review showed that nurses had chosen "not observed" on all CAT items for 32 of 44 forms (73%) and faculty had chosen "not observed" on all CAT items for 38 of 44 forms (86%). Forms marked with all items "not observed" could not be further analyzed.
Nurses and faculty were significantly more likely to provide responses indicating opportunity to observe intern behaviors on the CAT forms in the post-FCR period than in the pre-FCR period. Nurses indicated adequate observation for 29 of 34 post-FCR forms (85%; Χ21 = 23.6, P < .001), whereas they had made the same judgment in only 27% in the pre-FCR phase. Faculty indicated adequate observation for 32 of 34 post-FCR forms (94%; Χ21 = 18.7, P < .001), compared with 14% in the pre-FCR phase (Fig 1).
Parents and interns had high rates of indicating adequate observation from both time periods, allowing comparison between intern self-evaluation and parent evaluation during both the pre- and post-FCR periods (Fig 1).
Communication Skills: Intern Self-Assessments and Parent Evaluations
In the pre-FCR period, interns rated themselves significantly lower (61.3 ± 7.6) than did parents (66.7 ± 5.5, P < .05) (Fig 2A). There was no correlation between parent and intern scores (r17 = 0.05, P = .84) (Fig 2B).
In the post-FCR period, parent and intern CAT scores converged: mean-level scores did not differ (t17 < 1.0, P = .39). Parent and intern CAT scores did not differ largely because of an increase in intern self-assessment scores (Fig 3A). Furthermore, the parent-intern correlation for CAT scores was significantly positive (r18 = 0.73, P < .001) (Fig 3B). The change in parent-intern correlation is significant from pre- to post-FCR (Z = 2.21, P < .05), suggesting increased agreement between parents and residents in appraisals of interns' skills.
In the post-FCR period, nurse CAT scores (69.6 ± 1.7) did not differ from intern self-assessment scores (65.3 ± 1.3, P = .09) or parent appraisals of interns' communication skills (66.6 ± 2.0, P = .37). Faculty CAT scores (65.4 ± 1.4) did not differ from either intern self-assessment scores (65.3 ± 1.3, P = .97) or parent CAT scores (66.6 ± 2.0, P = .59). Neither nurse nor faculty CAT scores were correlated with scores from parents and interns. Nurse and faculty scores also did not correlate with one another. All Pearson r coefficients were below 0.20 and were not statistically significant.
Communication Skills: Comparison Between 2 Time Periods
Data on the 15 interns who had self-assessments from both time periods indicated an increase in intern CAT scores from pre-FCR (61.9 ± 2.0) to post-FCR period (64.9 ± 1.5), but that difference did not achieve statistical significance (P = .15). The correlation in intern CAT scores between these 2 time periods was positive, but not statistically significant (r15 = 0.50, P = .06). Parent appraisals of interns' communication skills did not differ between the 2 periods (pre-FCR 65.9 ± 1.4 vs post-FCR 66.0 ± 2.2, P = .84) and were not correlated (r15 = −0.43, P = .11).
Results from this study indicate that, after the introduction of FCRs, nurses and faculty were more likely to directly observe behaviors featured on the CAT. We also observed that resident self-evaluations were aligned and significantly correlated with parent evaluations after the introduction of FCR. Finally, we found that the internal consistency of the CAT was high in all 4 evaluator groups throughout the study. Although the bedside teaching is known as an effective tool to model, observe, assess, and evaluate competencies in trainees,10,15,27,28 there are limited experimental data describing the utility of FCR for evaluation of resident communication skills. To our knowledge, this is 1 of the first studies in which the CAT was used as a multisource evaluation tool.
In an outpatient setting, bedside presentations (in the examination room) were seen as an efficient way of accomplishing several important educational goals, including direct resident observation, teaching, and provision of feedback.19 In the inpatient setting, Brinkman and colleagues5 in the study on evaluation of resident communication skills and professionalism during rounds described that attending physicians self-reported their inability to observe resident behaviors of interest, particularly in the areas of history taking, physical examination, and interpersonal skills. Similarly, faculty members in our study were previously unable to observe behaviors featured on the CAT during traditional rounds. The introduction of FCR appears to have provided additional opportunities for nurses and faculty to directly observe behaviors featured on the CAT.
On the first evaluation, before introduction of FCR, interns rated themselves lower than did parents during the pre-FCR period. This difference disappeared after FCRs were introduced, largely because of increases in intern CAT scores. Similarly to other reports, parents rated their physician on the high end of the scale throughout the study.5,21 Pre-FCR intern and parent scores were not correlated; however, after the initiation of FCR, there was a strong, positive correlation between intern self-assessment and parent ratings. The change in parent-intern correlation was significant from pre- to post-FCR period, suggesting increased agreement between parent and intern appraisals of intern communication skills. Although these findings could be the result of increased experience on the part of the interns regardless of the FCR introduction, they are also consistent with previous reports indicating that assessments between active participants in communication tend to be highly correlated, reflecting the shared perspectives of the participants.10,12 In our model of FCR, residents and parent have the most active roles in communicating, whereas an attending physician assumes the role of an educational coach.29 Although, we did not assess intern's perceptions of FCR, it has been recently reported that medical students experienced additional "accountability" and "responsibility" when presenting during FCR.28 Therefore, it is possible that interns in our study felt they needed to prepare better when presenting at the bedside, leading to an increase in self-assessment scores. Improving physicians' abilities to make accurate appraisals of themselves is extremely important, because self-assessment is an essential element of lifelong learning.
We also found a lack of correlation between intern and parent scores and both nurse and faculty scores during FCR. These results may indicate that nurses and attending physicians have different expectations than parents and interns in regard to competence in communication. It is also possible, as pointed out by other authors,5,23 that the concepts rated have different meaning to different raters. These null findings underscore the difficulties inherent in trying to quantify assessments that reflect qualitative judgments.23 They also raise an important question as to whose evaluation of communication and interpersonal skills should be considered the gold standard. Lack of correlation among raters leaves open the question of what are the appropriate standards for assessing the validity of ratings from different judges.23
We suggest that there is a need to define uniform performance standards and to train raters to apply them. Standardization and faculty development of FCR are essential to avoid variability in the trainee's and patient's experiences.28 Ottolini et al29 have successfully incorporated the Observed Structured Teaching Exercises into a FCR faculty development program to enhance faculty teaching during FCR. This approach can be tailored to specifically address assessment of communication and interpersonal skills during FCR.
Although there was an increase in intern's communication skills after FCR introduction, this difference was not statistically significant. The lack of significance is likely attributable to inadequate statistical power arising from a small sample size. It is likely that an intervention such as the introduction of FCR did not by itself improve communication and interpersonal skills.
In this study, to evaluate resident communication and interpersonal skills, we used the CAT for all 4 groups of evaluators. Internal consistency among all evaluator groups was high during both time periods. The CAT appears to be reliable multisource instrument. It can be used by interns for self-assessment, and by the nurses and faculty to assess how well interns communicate with the parents during FCR.
This study has several limitations. First, this was a single-center study with a small sample size and included only interns, therefore limiting generalizability. Second, the changes in intern scores from pre-FCR to post-FCR are confounded by maturation that naturally occurs during the academic year. Similarly to what has been reported in previous studies, we found CAT scores to be clustered at the positive end of the scale.5,21 It appears that respondents were unwilling to give strongly negative evaluations of interns. Parents provided evaluations during a hospitalization which may have biased them to give higher scores because they were unwilling to comment candidly while under medical care.30 This response bias led to skewed scores. It is also possible that faculty may have worked with interns before, and might have been aware of their communications skills, thereby introducing additional scoring bias. Other limitations arise from measurement choices. This study did not include peer raters, although this is a crucial group of evaluators. In addition, raters did not have a formal training.
Our study suggests that FCR is useful for evaluation of residents' competence in communication. This model of bedside rounds adds more opportunities for direct observation, and allows for multisource evaluation of trainee's communication and interpersonal skills. The CAT can be used reliably as a multisource assessment instrument in the inpatient setting. In addition, it appears that bedside interactions between the medical team members and the family during FCR offer a climate that improves resident's ability to self-assess.

Why Multi-Age Classrooms Are Part of Montessori Education
A core component of Montessori education is the multi-age classroom. Unlike traditional classrooms, in which children are grouped by grade level, Montessori schools put children together in three-year age blocks. Working in these multi-age classrooms gives students advantages over simply being with children of the same age throughout their educational careers. Here are some of the benefits of multi-age classrooms in Montessori schools.
Observation is part of learning.
Younger children can learn a great deal from being grouped with older children, simply by observing them. Observation plays a key role in both learning and emotional development. Watching older children perform learning tasks as well as seeing their behavior, including how they interact with each other, can be critical for development. Mimicking the behavior of older students can help younger ones build maturity faster than they would otherwise.
Collaborative learning builds confidence.
Montessori education stresses self-paced learning, and within multi-age classrooms, this encourages collaborative learning experiences. Older children often guide younger children through activities, and younger children get to express their opinions as equals. For older students, being able to share their knowledge with younger students helps to increase their confidence in their skills and abilities. For younger students, this experience helps them get used to interacting with different groups of people and teaches them that it is OK to reach outside of their usual groups or comfort zone.
Curriculum is multi-dimensional.
Within multi-age classrooms, students learn about the same topics, but they study them in different depths. Students get to see how knowledge builds when they see other students who are older them diving deeper into the topics that they are studying. Students are more likely to see their lessons as dynamic and get excited about learning when they can see how their knowledge will expand.
At The Montessori School, we are committed to giving students a robust learning experience by providing the tools for guided independent learning and self-exploration.

Fun Montessori Tray Ideas to Try with Your Toddler
Activity trays are often used in Montessori schools, and you can extend that practice to home with your own DIY trays. The ideas in this video will help you set up Montessori education-inspired trays for your toddler at home.
Your trays should have activities that help your child practice his or her motor skills and should incorporate different colors and textures. Sorting different materials is a great leaning activity for toddlers and embraces the Montessori method.
The Montessori School's toddler program helps little ones start their learning journeys with the benefits of Montessori-focused education. Call our Montessori school in North Dallas at (469) 685-1732 or in Allen at (972) 908-5055 for more information about all of our programs.
Is Montessori the Right Choice for Your Family?
Choosing a school for your child is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. As you explore your options and encounter Montessori, you may wonder if it could be the right fit for your child. Montessori schools are successful for students of all learning styles, since they are centered on self-paced learning. However, there are things to consider about Montessori as a family before you make your choice. Here is what you need to know.
Parents with active children frequently worry about how their children will do in the classroom, and when visiting a Montessori school, you may see a classroom of quiet, hardworking students. However, Montessori actually allows and encourages much more movement than a traditional classroom. Students are allowed to get up and move around as they need to, unlike traditional schools, where opportunities to move are limited and scheduled. Students who need to move around a lot to feel comfortable and focused can thrive in Montessori schools.
Home Discipline Style
Some people envision Montessori classrooms as completely child-led, without rules or restrictions, but this is not the case. If you don't have rules in your home, then your child may face a period of adjustment when coming into the Montessori classroom, just as they would in traditional school. On the other hand, if your home is very regimented, then your child may at first find it difficult to manage his or her behavior with the freedom in Montessori programs. Keep in mind, these adjustments periods are usually temporary, but many families are surprised when they do occur.
Learning Styles
There is a place for all learning styles in Montessori classrooms. Children learn at the pace that works for them, in the way that works for them. Different learning styles co-exist and thrive in Montessori schools.
Are you considering Montessori education for your child? At The Montessori School, we are happy to answer all of your questions and arrange a school tour. Call us in North Dallas at (469) 685-1732 or in Allen at (972) 908-5055 to learn more.
A Brief Overview of Our Primary Curriculum
The Primary program at The Montessori School is for kids between the ages of the three and six. These important years are a time of incredible growth for kids, and our classrooms are dedicated to letting them build skills and gain enthusiasm about learning.
In our Montessori school, kids in this age group have freedom to learn at their own pace, with gentle guidance from our teachers. Each classroom is filled with learning materials to support their learning and exploration, as they move from concrete concepts to abstract learning processes. The curriculum is broad and includes math, language arts, geography, history, cultural awareness, foreign language, music, movement, and nature studies. At their own paces, kids will learn and grow in knowledge and maturity.
At The Montessori School, we're always available to answer questions about our curriculum and our approach to Montessori education . Find out more by calling our campus in North Dallas at (469) 685-1732 or in Allen at (972) 908-5055.

Robert Kirkman has been invested in The Walking Dead's ever-expansive universe for over 15 years now, and there's no one more qualified to speak on the future of both the comic series and AMC's television show. Which is good, since he gets asked every single question that could possible be asked about the zombie franchise. He recently fielded an inquiry about The Walking Dead heading to different countries in the future, and while Kirkman doesn't expect to do much international traveling on the page, the TV series may very well branch out in such a way. According to Kirkman:
It's something we've discussed from time to time, and we have seen a bit of Mexico in Fear The Walking Dead. I don't really plan to expand things in the comic side of things ever, but I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually do something internationally in the TV space.
As the automatic caveat: Robert Kirkman has been known to make comments about the Walking Dead comics and TV show that are specifically meant to stoke fan interest without necessarily divulging any legitimate reveals. For every time he's unleashed mega-spoilers on TV audiences, Kirkman has bemusedly smirked his way through a bucketful of hyperbolic white lies. So while it's occasionally super-obvious when Kirkman is making things up, he brandishes a poker face like few others, especially when doing print-only responses to anonymous fan questions on Tumblr.. Still, we're going to actively hope that he's implying something exciting here.
Because how wild would it be to see The Walking Dead taking its story across the globe? As Robert Kirkman mentioned, Fear the Walking Dead Season 3 traveled to Mexico for its most invigorating and most important season yet. It would be relatively simple to also take the flagship series down below the border, and it'd be easier to bring characters above the Canadian border. But I'm selfishly hoping for something very different, possibly involving a completely different continent.
Since most of the Walking Dead survivors are without any vehicles that could realistically transport anyone from one continent to another, introducing globe-trotting plots would be quite difficult in most cases. But not so much if we see something via flashback, possibly involving the past exploits of The Walking Dead's newest character, Georgie. Or maybe we could meet a new character who hasn't been directly tied to the main narrative, such as what happened in the one-off comic issue Alien, in which writer Bryan K. Vaughan and artist Marcos Martin took readers to Spain to introduce Rick Grimes' brother Jeff. Hell, maybe we could even get a second spinoff taking place in East Asia or Africa or something.
During the same Q&A, Robert Kirkman also talked about when we might learn the origin story behind The Walking Dead's zombie outbreak, which is something he's previously stated would never get revealed. So even if he does say one day that it was a rare strain of swine flu that evolved, are we supposed to really believe it? Damn you, Kirkman!
Still firmly located in and around the Hilltop, The Walking Dead airs Sunday nights on AMC at 9:00 p.m. ET. To see what other shows are popping up in primetime soon, head to our midseason premiere schedule.

I ordered my Macbook Pro (edu) and took advantage of both the free ipod nano and printer deal. After about a week of using my laptop, I forgot I still had to fill out my forms. So I printed the Mac and iPod form, and I printed the Mac and Printer form. I filled out both forms with my Basic info, and I also filled out the Laptops model and serial numbers, as well as the printers and ipods. My only question is what next? I don't really have a receipt to use, so what should I send them? I want to make sure I do this right becuase it is $300 here! Thanks guys

Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing and Edible Sugar Pearls
I had so much fun doing these cookies! Even though I was in pain from an IBS attack, doing these helped keep my mind off of it! I really enjoy making cookies, even though they are very time consuming. I learn something new every time I use royal icing, meaning I learn what not to do next time, LOL!
The cookies are in the shape of a wedding cake and a wedding dress.

Degrassi Junior High & Beverly Hills 90210
Teen TV Shows From My Generation
Two of the best TV shows for teenagers came from my generation. We had Degrassi Junior High (which continued as Degrassi High) and Beverly Hills 90210.
Degrassi gave a pretty realistic view of what it was like to be a teenager at the time. Whereas 90210 was more of a fun look into what it would be like to be a teenager of privilege and a part of the popular crowd.
While both shows showed the fun times of being a teenager they also covered the hardships. Each one covered topics such as teenage pregnancy and abusive relationships. Beverly Hills 90210 tended to glaze over topics with a more soap opera approach. While Degrassi was usually more thorough and wasn't afraid to give their main characters true difficulties that they actually had to deal with.

Degrassi Junior High VS Beverly Hills 90210 - Teenage Pregnancy
The way each series covered the topic of teenage pregnancy, with its main characters, is perfect for showing the differences between the two shows. Spike and Brenda each have sex for the first time with their boyfriends. They are then both shown to be concerned about the possibility of being pregnant.
For Brenda it ends there, it is just a false alarm. She does break up with Dylan because she is not ready to deal with the possible consequences of being in a relationship with him.
With Spike it turns out she got pregnant the first time she had sex. You follow her through the hardships and decisions she has to make when that happens. Should she have an abortion or have the baby? When she decides to have it, should she keep it or give it up for adoption? She decides that she is going to have the baby and keep it.
Then you see her having to deal with the repercussions of making that decision. Such as her classmates who talk about her behind her back (although a lot of it she hears). Parents protest that she should be removed from the school because she was setting a bad example.
They continue to follow what life is like for her when she is raising Emma by herself. They show that once you have a baby you no longer have the carefree teenage years, where you can hang out with your friends whenever you want. You have the responsibilities of taking care of your child.
This is the episode that covers Spike finding out that she is pregnant.
Beach Blanket Brandon in Season 2 - Is the episode where Brenda has her pregnancy scare.

Degrassi and 90210 Take On Abortion
On 90210 Andrea is pregnant and decides to have an abortion. Jesse then breaks up with her because of that decision. He changes his mind about the break up. Then Andrea changes hers about having an abortion, she is now going to have the baby.
Degrassi showed when Erica found out she was pregnant, the struggle she had with deciding what to do. She decided to go through with having an abortion. They did not shy away from showing what that meant.
When other shows have had a character make that decision, it is usually just quickly glossed over. The character just comes back feeling sad. Degrassi actually showed her going to the clinic and the protesters blocking her way. In a later episode they show her classmates harassing her about having an abortion, when they found out what happened.

This is the episode where Erica goes to the clinic to have the abortion done.

Abusive Relationships on 90210 and Degrassi
In season 5 and 6 of Beverly Hills 90210 we see the progress of an abusive relationship between Donna Martin and Ray Pruitt. He starts out as a nice enough guy, but soon starts isolating Donna from her friends. He becomes jealous over her relationship with David. He is shown pushing her against a wall in one episode. In another they are arguing on a set of stairs and during some pushing and pulling Donna falls down the stairs.
They did a much better job covering this topic then some of the others that they covered, as the level of abuse grows over time. It is not just a one time thing and it is over. However they do not fully commit to it, by having Ray actually hit her. The fall down the stairs could be construed as accidental.
With Degrassi High we see an abusive relationship between Kathleen Mead and Scott Smith. We see the progress of the abuse in this relationship as well. It starts with him belittling her and squeezing her tightly. He looks like he feels guilty, apologizes, and later gives her a gift to make up for it.
When he sees her talking with Luke, about a play for class, he gets jealous. He pulls her aside, starts questioning her, and ends up slamming her against the lockers. Once again he gives her a gift, this time flowers, and she forgives him. When he finds her rehearsing with Luke he has a complete melt down. He verbally abuses her, slaps her across the face, and even slams her head into a desk a few times.
She shows up for school the next day with bruises. He tries to get her to forgive him again, but this time she refuses. In another episode he tries to apologize to get her back, she still refuses. He tries a few more times in another episode and she still does not want to take him back.
He sees her walking home alone he tries again. When she refuses, he slaps her and beats her up again. Knowing she can't deal with him by herself anymore she calls the police and he is arrested. The next time she sees him she tells him if he ever comes near her again she will press charges. This is finally the last time we see Scott.
This is the season that has the abusive relationship between Kathleen and Scott.
This is the season when we are introduced to the character Ray Pruitt. It shows the beginning of their abusive relationship.
This is the continuation and the eventual end of their relationship.
Closer to Real Life
The other major difference between the series was the characters and the people portraying them. On Beverly Hills 90210 the characters were the popular crowd, with only David and Scott being on the outside, at the beginning of the series.
Almost all of the cast looked like they were models and there was very little diversity in the cast. Half of them were at least 5 years older than the characters that they were playing. Some were actually a decade older than their character.
On Degrassi Junior High, and later Degrassi high, they had a wide variety of characters with varying levels of popularity. The people on it were also representative of our multicultural society. The cast were the age of the characters (or at least very close) that they played. While some were indeed considered attractive, they still looked like they could fit in at your school and you would be able to fit in at theirs.
Beverly Hills 90210 was the high school life you wish you had with money, popularity, and good looks. Degrassi had a characters you could identify with and was much closer to the life you actually had.
I loved both shows, just for different reasons. One was more just fun and an escape into a fantasy world. The other felt like spending time with friends and where you just might learn something. If someone wanted a cultural reference for what is was like being a teenager for my generation, I can not think of a better candidate then Degrassi Junior High.
