Method Five focus groups of 11 or 12 medical students from all years of medical school were recruited at McMaster University Faculty of Health Sciences, Université de Sherbrooke Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba Faculty of Medicine, and University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine between February and April 2006. A professional facilitator was hired to conduct the focus groups using a unique, computer-based facilitation system. Questions in both the focus group and an accompanying survey sought to determine medical students' understanding and exposure to public health and how this impacted their attitudes and choices toward careers in the public health medical specialty of community medicine. The transcripts were independently reviewed and analyzed by each of the authors to identify themes. Results Four major themes related to students' desired curriculum change were identified: (1) poor educational experiences in public health courses, (2) lack of positive role models, especially exposure to community medicine specialists, (3) emphasis on statistics and epidemiology, and (4) negative attitudes toward public health topics. Conclusions Students are disillusioned, disengaged, and disappointed with the public health curriculum currently being provided at the Canadian medical schools studied. Many medical students would prefer a public health curriculum that is more challenging and has more applied field experience and exposure to public health physician role models.

Theme 2: Lack of positive exposure to CM specialists Not enough exposure to CM specialists in the curriculum. Lack of positive role models. Theme 3: Emphasis on statistics and epidemiology Theme 4: Negative attitudes toward PH topics Discussion Conclusions Acknowledgments References The importance for all physicians to understand basic public health issues has recently been brought to light through events such as the threat of pandemic avian influenza, the emergence of West Nile virus and SARS, and the increasing burden of chronic diseases. However, the struggle to teach public health effectively and to capture the interest of medical students continues to be a challenge internationally, as recognized recently in this journal1 and elsewhere.2,3 In Canada, one outcome of inadequate public health teaching in medical schools is poor recruitment into the public health medical specialty of community medicine.4 Undergraduate medical public health courses are often used to address a wide range of the Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada5 objectives including some public-health-oriented topics such as epidemiology, biostatistics, outbreak response, and the determinants of health, as well as other general topics such as introduction to the health care system, evidence-based medicine, ethics, cultural competencies, professionalism, and the patient–doctor relationship. Often, these courses are not integrated across the various components of the medical curriculum, which covers topics such as physiology, pathology, pharmacology, anatomy, and clinical medicine. This isolation accentuates the challenge faced by medical educators in trying to teach public health effectively within a medical culture that values acute care of individual patients and their families over population-based health protection, health promotion, and disease prevention. This disconnect between philosophies of care, combined with a frequent lack of clarity around the topics that are distinctive to public health, leaves students confused about the role of public health in medicine, and thus they struggle to understand the relevance of it in their medical education. The need for change in this area is being recognized.6,7 Our study, based on a series of medical student focus groups, seeks to understand student attitudes and perceptions of the public health education system and to identify improvements in undergraduate medical education needed to improve students' awareness and understanding of public health. We refer to public health (PH) as the collective societal efforts to improve the health and well-being of populations. Community medicine (CM) refers to the medical specialty area, including the Royal College of Physician and Surgeons of Canada8 medical residency training program for PH physician specialists. PH practice refers to the development of public policy and the design, implementation, and evaluation of health programs that fulfill the functions of PH as it relates to the PH medical specialty of CM. Back to Top | Article Outline Method We conducted focus groups at five medical schools across Canada between February and April 2006. These schools were selected primarily on the basis of geographic location: (1) University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine (British Columbia), (2) University of Manitoba Faculty of Medicine (Manitoba), (3) University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine (Ontario), (4) McMaster University Faculty of Health Sciences (Ontario), and (5) Université de Sherbrooke Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (Quebec). Each school used various teaching methods including a combination of problem-based learning, tutorial, and lecture formats in their public health curricula (personal communication from participating undergraduate course directors or their designate). On the basis of an author's experience (I.T.), this is common in most undergraduate PH programs across Canada, as is evaluation primarily through student projects with a multiple-choice exam component often worth less than half of the final grade. All of the schools studied were associated with CM residency programs.9 Two of the schools delivered their PH curricula in preclinical years only. We recruited medical student participants through posters and e-mails distributed two weeks in advance of a scheduled focus group, advertising an opportunity to discuss "your opinions about your public health education." There were no specific inclusion or exclusion criteria because the widest possible range of student input was sought. Groups were limited to 12 participants and filled on a first-come, first-served basis. We established a medical student contact at each university to act as a site liaison for the study coordinators and to help with recruitment and technical arrangements. The student liaison observed and took notes but did participate in the focus group. At the conclusion of each focus group, students received textbooks10,11 as a token gift for participation. Ethics board approval was obtained from each participating university. We administered a questionnaire to all participants at the start of each session using Group Decision Support System (GDSS) technology. This questionnaire consisted of 15 questions developed to determine basic demographic and background information about the participants, including participants' current consideration of CM as a career choice and influences on this decision, as well as their current understanding of medical careers in PH. Our focus groups were 90 minutes long and designed to gain a better understanding of medical students' perceptions of PH from their medical education to date and ideas to improve medical school PH education. All five groups were conducted by the same professional facilitator, chosen for practical and technical expertise with GDSS technology or "electronic brainstorming."12 GDSS technology allows groups to generate a large number of ideas anonymously and provides an alternative approach to conducting traditional focus groups using tape recorders. Each participant was seated in front of a network-connected laptop computer. The facilitator introduced the topic, and then all participants typed their answers into the computer simultaneously. We did not specifically instruct students to represent their peers; therefore, it can be assumed that comments reflected their personal opinions. With the computer-assisted technology, quiet participants have equal opportunity to assert their opinions, and no participant's ideas are in danger of being lost in the general discussion. As participants submitted their ideas, their comments were collected by the network, stored, and projected anonymously onto a large public screen. An oral discussion followed and the facilitator strived to ensure that all participants had opportunities to participate in the discussion. This dialogue typically began with the sharing and the prioritizing of the ideas projected on the public screen. The facilitator then asked probing questions to ensure a clear understanding of all the participant perspectives. This also allowed students to branch off onto topics that may be directly or indirectly linked to their previously recorded opinions. A typical session consisted of 40% computer entry and 60% discussion. During the discussion, notes were typed into the system by the facilitator as new themes or ideas emerged. The oral discussion was also recorded by a note-taker present throughout the focus group. (Discussions were not tape-recorded or transcribed on account of the extensive note-taking input by the participants directly into the GDSS.) A final transcript for each focus group included all comments that students input electronically, and the transcript was collated with the notes taken during the session. We entered demographic and participant data from the presession survey into spreadsheet software. Double entry was used to improve accuracy. For the purposes of this analysis, McMaster's three-year program was divided into year 1 as the preclerkship, junior level and years 2 and 3 as the clerkship, senior level because at the time the study took place, year 2 students had begun full-time clinical duties. We independently reviewed and analyzed the final GDSS transcripts and observer notes to identify themes and recurrent issues for which recommendations could be made that are specific and relevant to students and potentially achievable within educational institutions. Following these independent analyses, we held several meetings to organize and consolidate the identified themes. We consulted the original transcripts during this process to ensure that the participants' contributions continued to be accurately reflected throughout the analysis. Back to Top | Article Outline Results A total of 57 medical students (35 female and 22 male) participated in the focus groups. Thirty students (53%) were in their preclinical (first- and second-year medical students) years of medical school, and 40 participants (70%) stated that they had previous experience with either or both PH and CM. Analysis of the focus-group transcripts resulted in the identification of four main themes related to curriculum. Student comments illustrating each of these themes are given in List 1. List 1 Emergent Themes on Public Health (PH) Education From Focus Group Participants at Five Canadian Medical Schools, Spring 2006 Back to Top | Article Outline Theme 1: Poor educational experiences in PH courses It was clear throughout the course of our focus groups that undergraduate medical students are unhappy with the state of their PH curriculum. Many found it a "waste of time" and observed that "not everybody attends the lectures." There was an overwhelming consensus that the current curriculum has a significant negative influence in students' perceptions of PH. Problems were identified in curriculum structure and content as well as curriculum delivery as it relates to lectures and field experiences in the preclerkship (first and second years of medical school) and electives in the clerkship (third and fourth years of medical school). Back to Top | Article Outline Lecture material. Medical students across all focus-group sites were uniformly disappointed with the quality of their PH lectures, which are primarily part of the preclerkship curriculum. Criticisms included "poorly developed/delivered/constructed," "relevancy to medical practice not apparent," "no exposure to what CM doctors 'do when they go to the office,'" and "very few lectures capture your attention." Although students often ended up learning basic PH concepts to pass their exams, they reported that these concepts seldom seemed applicable to their future medical practice. Students had many ideas for improving the current curriculum and were excited to be given the opportunity to suggest ways in which their learning could be made more learner-centered. Suggestions ranged from the very general "make learning PH a positive experience," "stop just defining concepts," and "improve the PH course," to more specific ideas such as "make lectures more interactive," "make the connection between PH and clinical practice," "include large group sessions on health policy and the role of the physician as advocate," "make it an objective to understand the role of the Medical Officer of Health," and "identify 'What is public health'?" Some students felt that it is "better to focus efforts on more immediate goals," and others were overwhelmed by the broad scope of PH describing it as "daunting," "nebulous," and "difficult to define." Students suggested that the curriculum should "give examples of CM success stories," "show the impact," "give real-life examples," and "show practical applications of PH knowledge." Students also felt there could be more of a connection between field experiences and lecture material to help students better understand the role of medicine in PH. Back to Top | Article Outline Field experiences. Another important part of the preclerkship curriculum consists of the field experiences in which students are often sent to community agencies to observe PH nurses or social workers or in which they are instructed to research a PH-related area. Most students preferred this to lectures; however, they still felt that field experiences do not give a clear understanding of the role of CM specialists in the practice of PH. Back to Top | Article Outline Clerkship electives. Some participants suggested that a mandatory rotation in PH would help them understand PH and "gain knowledge of PH resources in the community that you can access once you are a clerk/resident/physician." Most students, however, preferred to have the option to pursue electives in CM. In all cases, students were clear that the elective experiences offered need to be well planned and executed; "otherwise it would run the risk of further deterring medical students from pursuing CM as a career." Electives that show students how they effect change, or that involve projects with practical applications, would give students a more personal interest in the experience, akin to their clinical rotations. As one student pointed out, "Make the experience of learning PH positive and interesting …. If it is a drag to do, then it will just turn students off." Back to Top | Article Outline Evaluation. Some students felt that the course would be improved if it were made more challenging and implied that content should be delivered and examined with the same rigor as the other components of the medical curriculum. Many students agreed that the current system of evaluation is a factor that leads the course to be taken less seriously and not viewed as relevant to the practice of medicine. Back to Top | Article Outline Integration with clinical medicine. Students also noted that their coursework in PH does not relate to the rest of the medical curriculum. Across all of the interview sites, there were students who suggested that PH material should be integrated into the core curriculum with other topics: "Add a PH lecture into every systems block," "add a PH learning issue into each PBL case," and "as a part of other [clinical] rotations, have a day focused on PH initiatives in that field (e.g., mental health campaigns while in psychiatry)." Back to Top | Article Outline Theme 2: Lack of positive exposure to CM specialists Not enough exposure to CM specialists in the curriculum. Most students interviewed were unable to identify a CM specialist that had taught them during medical school. The overall sense from students was that the roles of CM physicians are not what they are learning in their PH courses, and, in fact, they struggle in describing what those roles are. Not having had the opportunity to see PH medical practice "in action," few students could describe with confidence what PH practice as a CM physician entails, including the policy and programming outcomes of PH. Back to Top | Article Outline Lack of positive role models. Unfortunately, for those students who could identify PH physicians within their medical school, these individuals were rarely viewed positively. Medical students clearly need positive CM role models in their undergraduate curriculum to improve their understanding of PH practice as well as to help create a more positive attitude toward PH. It was clear that those students who have had excellent experiences with PH in the past were much more open-minded, respectful, and informed about the specialty. Back to Top | Article Outline Theme 3: Emphasis on statistics and epidemiology The curricula at participating schools leave students confused about the role of CM specialists and their practice. Most schools cover PH in a general course relevant to all specialties, which does not adequately explain the application of the basic sciences (e.g., epidemiology) and administrative skills (e.g., health system delivery) in the daily practice of CM. As a result, there exists a pervasive misconception that PH is "academic and research based" and "a lot of looking at numbers," with little appreciation for the population health outcomes achieved. The emphasis of statistics and epidemiology in the current PH education led one participant to comment that "public health should be a PhD program not a clinical program because it is a research field/data crunching." Back to Top | Article Outline Theme 4: Negative attitudes toward PH topics Many students perceive a tendency on the part of their professors and peers to dismiss PH issues as being unimportant or "fluffy," thus imparting a hidden message that it is inferior to clinical medicine. They noted that PH is rarely mentioned outside of designated lectures or by any professor who is not currently involved in PH. This negative role modeling behavior by other specialists strongly contributes to students' opinions about PH. If clinical teachers do not think public health outcomes are important or achievable, why should their students? Back to Top | Article Outline Discussion Having an understanding of the determinants of health and other population health concepts affecting individuals, knowing how to effectively collaborate with PH departments on these issues, and accessing resources for individual patients that are provided through PH programs are important educational outcomes for all physicians in training regardless of the specialty they choose. In fact, it has been found that students feel they are able to function more effectively as clinicians after taking elective PH courses or a combined MD/MPH degree.13 Unfortunately, the current Canadian undergraduate medical curricula at participating schools do not seem to adequately explain why PH knowledge is useful and valuable for all physicians, thus leaving medical students unhappy with the state of the PH portions of their medical education. Although it is perhaps inevitable that some students will dislike their PH teaching, this dislike should be on par with that of other specialties, as opposed to the almost uniform negativity that was evident throughout these focus groups, which was noted at all of the five schools included in the study despite the varied formats and teaching methods used at the different institutions. To understand the basic functioning of PH, students need to experience what CM specialists do through observation, hands-on projects, and accessible role models who can act as sources of information and inspiration. PH education needs to accurately reflect the practice of CM specialists by reducing its emphasis on the basic sciences of PH. In most of the schools studied, "public health" is currently taught as a stand-alone course, which usually includes some of these topics: evidence-based medicine, epidemiology, determinants of health, ethics, cultural competency, biostatistics, introduction to the health care system, professionalism, and the patient–doctor relationship. Unfortunately, this seems to lead to medical students' confusion between the basic sciences necessary to practice PH and the practice of PH itself, and it may contribute to students' lack of clarity around the role of the CM physician. In an ideal setting, PH education would be delivered with the same relevance to medicine as other medical specialties. Instead, students felt that PH does not relate to or interact with the rest of medicine. Students in these focus groups frequently suggested integrating PH and clinical content. By embracing the students' frequently suggested idea of incorporating PH material into the "core" medical curriculum, PH content could be highlighted for medical students while contextualizing it within the practice of medicine. Both students and faculty would be led to appreciate its broad-ranging applicability across a number of disease conditions and medical specialties while emphasizing its distinctions from and relationships to clinical epidemiology and clinical prevention. Appropriate integration could also help to diminish the perceptual divide between clinical medicine and PH practice. Integration into the clerkship years would give students the opportunity to apply the PH knowledge presented in the preclerkship years and help expose students to potential CM role models. Bellas et al14 observed that "issues of preventive medicine need to be incorporated into mainstream curriculum and taught by faculty whom the students see as credible clinicians who are key role models and opinion leaders." It seems intuitive that effective education in a particular area should be delivered by specialists in that field. As noted by Rego and Dick,2 "If the teaching/tutoring staff are unclear about the content and importance of PH issues because they have a specialty clinical or science background, then they are unlikely to feel comfortable with them." The fact that many students interviewed could not reliably identify a CM specialist that had taught them during medical school is of concern. Medical students do not seem to get adequate exposure to CM specialists or PH practice to understand the role of either in the medical system. Positive CM role models could improve students understanding of PH practice, help them better appreciate how the work of public health makes a difference to individual patients as well as populations, and create a more positive attitude toward PH. Some suggested ways to increase the amount of exposure and interactions with CM specialists within the curriculum included bringing in more CM physicians to teach courses in the preclerkship and, where possible and applicable, involving CM residents in teaching PH in the undergraduate medical education curriculum. Positive role modeling could also be done by clinical specialists who are PH champions to convey the importance of PH to medicine within their field. It should be noted that there could be potential differences in knowledge and attitudes of students at these schools compared with other medical schools not offering CM residency programs at the time of the study. More than half the participants were in their preclinical years and, therefore, may not have experienced the complete PH curriculum offered by the participating school. Unfortunately, because of the technology used, it is not possible to attribute student comments to individuals for comparison of responses between preclinical and clinical participants. Because this was not a randomly selected sample of student participants, biases may have occurred. Those who already had an interest in or awareness of PH may have been more likely to participate. Alternatively, participation may have been biased to those who have strong negative opinions toward PH. In terms of demographics, the ratio of males to females was generally reflective of current medical school enrollment in Canada, and there was wide representation of students from all years in the curriculum. Though all efforts were made to formulate independent opinions using the GDSS system and then elaborate on these thoughts with the group, participants may have had the propensity to agree with other students during the discussion. Despite its limitations, this study raises several important issues related to the teaching and learning of PH in the undergraduate medical curriculum across several Canadian medical schools, as identified by the students themselves. We hope that the findings of this study will assist those developing or revising PH curricula for medical students in Canada15 and abroad. Back to Top | Article Outline Conclusions Overall, many students are disillusioned, disengaged, and disappointed with their undergraduate medical schools' PH curricula. Lack of positive exposure to CM specialists, overemphasis of the basic sciences that are not specific to PH, such as statistics and epidemiology, and institutionalized negative attitudes toward PH topics inadequately prepare medical students to interact with the PH system in their future medical practice. Medical students in the schools studied would prefer a PH curriculum that is more challenging and has more applied field experiences and exposure to CM physician role models.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department is denying a claim by WikiLeaks that the U.S. government was involved in cutting off internet access for the group's founder, Julian Assange.
He has said his hosts at Ecuador's embassy in London cut him off from the internet over the weekend as he was releasing a series of damaging disclosures about Hillary Clinton.
The group claims that Secretary of State John Kerry had personally intervened to get Ecuador to stop Assange from publishing documents about Clinton. The State Department says that's "simply untrue."
Wikileaks says the request from Kerry came on the sidelines of negotiations that took place last month in Colombia. But a State Department spokesman says Kerry never even raised the issue or met with Ecuador's president during his visit to Colombia.
Assange has been taking refuge at the embassy for more than four years after skipping bail to avoid extradition to Sweden over sex crimes allegations.
Even though his own internet access is down, WikiLeaks today released another collection of emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. It's a sign that the group's ability to publish has not yet been compromised.

I was lucky enough to get to talk these things over with Christine, a.k.a. Holistic Guru, and she really helped guide me towards some great ways to finally make peace with my diet and with food.
The first thing is mindfulness. As a busy trimommy, coach, flutist, wife...the list goes on, I often just inhale my food when I get a free minute. The problem with this is I get absolute no satisfaction from eating that way. In fact, sometimes I don't even remember I ate something! Than I feel like I didn't eat lunch or whatever and eat more. Likewise, if I have a "treat" that I usually would feel guilty about, I eat it mindlessly because I don't want to admit that I am "cheating," as it were. This often leads to a downward spiral of overeating and emotional eating.
So what to do about that? Well, I am trying to be more mindful of my eating. I take the time to enjoy the food and the surroundings and the moment that I am eating, rather than just eat it as fast as I can. I've been trying to think about how good the food tastes while I'm eating it, so I don't have to overeat. There are times when I still am rushing, but I acknowledge that as well. All in all, it's been very eye-opening to me. In the past two days of applying this I have seen where I would often just have something because I was in a certain situation, or it was a certain time of day, even if I wasn't hungry. I have also enjoyed my food so much more.
The other thing Christine said to me that was so fantastic was this:
The perfect diet is a diet that is flexible. Find perfection in imperfection.
In other words, understand that a treat every now and then is something to rejoice in and be grateful for, not something to cause guilt. Everyone falls of the wagon. Accept that and understand that it's okay, but it will just take a little more effort to get back on again. Enjoy the moments of indulgence, and be mindful of what makes those moments special.
I do believe I eat very healthy, but I also know I have a ways to go to reach balance. That is what I'm working on.

Fergie vacation photos are apparently not to be missed. While bath salt-addled individuals unceremoniously chew the faces off complete strangers here in the States, Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie -- also known to some of us as one of the "Kids Incorporated" cast members -- has been enjoying a sunny vacation in Mexico with her actor husband Josh Duhamel ("Transformers", "Life as We Know It"). To show you just how much fun she's having while enjoying some time out of the spotlight, Fergie posted a revealing picture to her Twitter account, displaying -- what else? -- her amazingly toned bikini body. The picture has been embedded below, so be sure to have your drool cup handy.
What do those who wile away the hours on Twitter have to say about the singer's barely-there attire? You're about to find out in just second. All you have to do is scroll past the image you see below, which, for some, might be a little hard to do. After all, Fergie is pretty much letting it all hang out. If you're a fan of impossible cleavage and extraordinarily flat stomaches, your eyes may linger on the image longer than most. Just know that, when you're done ogling, Twitter reactions to Fergie's bikini await your undivided attention.
Image provided courtesy of Fergie's Twitter account
Looks like you made it down here! Now, for the promised twitter reactions. Honestly, you're probably better off staring at the above picture for another 30 minutes or so.
@Fergie Your bikini pic is so inspiring!!! http://t.co/FsJpQREL Makes me wanna work SMARTER in the gym and outside of the gym! xoxo
@Fergie, do you really have to look THIS good in a bikini?! It's just not fair. http://t.co/NWyk9RLY

Research conducted by Humboldt State Kinesiology professor Rock Braithwaite has played a significant role in demonstrating the usefulness of computerized neurocognitive testing that could change the way the medical community analyzes and understands the long-term effects of sports-related concussions.
Braithwaite collaborated with former HSU professor Anthony Kontos, a professor for the University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences, and two other University of Pittsburgh professors, on a study that is considered the largest statistical review of computerized testing to date. The study was published in the March Journal of International Neuropsychological Society.
Braithwaite's analysis focused on computerized neurocognitive testing, using the four primary systems available. His study evaluated prior research of published computerized concussion testing to date, covering 37 studies and 3,960 participants all within the first week of sustaining a concussion. The study produced two key findings:
– Middle school and younger high-school students displayed more pronounced cognitive effects and greater performance deterioration according to neurocognitive testing after a concussion than their senior high school and college-aged counterparts.
– ImPACT®—a computerized neurocognitive test battery designed to assess mild traumatic brain injury—demonstrated the strongest performance for detecting cognitive impairment because it measured the types of tasks that this meta-analysis identified as most effective at detecting post-concussion issues including: processing speed, verbal memory, visual memory and recall. The success of this technology indicates computerized testing—as conducted with the fNIRS—is the most accurate evaluation method.
"ImPACT found the largest effects for individuals who had been concussed—across all outcomes," said Braithwaite, who conceived of the idea for this study. "Memory, processing speed, recall. . . . ImPACT was able to better detect changes compared to the other computerized tests."
"In the past decade and a half, many in the field of concussion science have tried to find an imaging tool that could help us in a clinical setting—and failed to find anything with consistency," said Michael Collins, director of the fNIRS research. "This preliminary study, although small, showed us where in the brain a patient is affected and to what cognitive extent. It was enough evidence for us to keep pushing further with this potential tool."

After taking over the Billboard 200 albums chart for seven non-consecutive weeks with her sophomore album, 21, Adele finally rolls to No. 1 on the singles chart.
The British soul singer's ubiquitous hit "Rolling In The Deep" has topped the Billboard Hot 100, earning Adele her first No. 1 single in the US.
"Rolling" displaces Katy Perry's "E.T.," which previously spent six non-consecutive weeks on top the chart.
There are two new entries in the top 10 this week. Lady Antebellum score their highest Hot 100 debut with "Just A Kiss," the first single from their forthcoming third album. (The country trio performed the track on last week's American Idol results show.) And Pitbull's "Give Me Everything" Ne-Yo, AfroJack and Nayer rises from 13-8.
This week's top 10 singles:
- Adele – Rolling In The Deep
- Katy Perry featuring Kanye West – E.T.
- Jennifer Lopez featuring Pitbull – On The Floor
- Black Eyed Peas – Just Can't Get Enough
- Bruno Mars – The Lazy Song
- Britney Spears featuring Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha – Till The World Ends
- Lady Antebellum – Just A Kiss

Struggling Ten Network flags job cuts
Ten Network will cut staff as part of a wide-ranging review aimed at getting its costs down.
News of the redundancies came as the network, which has been struggling in the ratings this year, revealed a $13 million loss for the year ending August 31.
Ten's chief executive, James Warburton, said the program of voluntary redundancies had been announced today and it was too soon to say how many jobs would be cut.
''What we've done is we've completed the model. The voluntary redundancies are what's being announced today but it's way too early to say what those numbers are.''
BusinessDay understands up to 100 staff would be affected nationally. The company had about 1300 staff in 2011. An email is said to be sent out to staff shortly.
Mr Warburton said the network's annual results were ''disappointing'' and the ratings had ''not been good enough''. Ratings flops for the network this year included The Shire and Everybody Dance Now.
'National news desk'
Ten has denied that it is moving to a national news bulletin, but has conceded that it is implementing a ''national news desk'', to be based in Sydney, in a bid to ''centralise and streamline the process'' of making its news bulletins around the country.
A spokeswoman said suggestions that the network would axe local news bulletins were wrong and due to ''confusion''.
Ten will retain local hosts and continue to cover local news, she said, while declining to specify what form those local bulletins would take and how much of their content might derive from the new ''national'' desk in Sydney.
Staffers seeking solace in that suggestion of flexibility will find little comfort in the line that today's announcement represents ''the first outcome'' of the strategic review that has been taking place across all parts of the company.
That could suggest there is worse to come, but Ten is playing its cards close to its corporate chest. The spokeswoman said the redundancy program came with ''no number and no timeline''.
The network has struggled with slumping ratings in 2012, while the free-to-air television industry contends with a faltering ad market and the change in entertainment and broadcasting trends, triggered by mobile devices.
Union blasts Ten
The Community and Public Sector Union criticised the announcement by Channel Ten, but said it could hardly be a surprise given the difficulties at the network.
"I find it hard to believe that Network Ten management did not see this coming," said CPSU National President Michael Tull.
"We've all be watching the ratings and the company's financial performance and yet the first we have heard about these cuts was when they dropped this bombshell on our members who are obviously distraught at the news.
"There has been no consultation to date and all we have from Ten management is a guarantee of a meeting next week," he said. "We are angry that Ten has failed to meet its obligations."

As I reported this morning, today's mystery centers on why about $150,000 in checks from Albany County to Project Strive — a non-profit struggling to get out from under a $167,000 federal tax lien — have gone uncashed.
That news came via this letter from Executive Deputy Comptroller Chip Dott.
Now, the question is: Why?
Strive's executive director, David Bosworth, says it's sure as heck not because his agency, which is perpetually strapped for dough, just decided not to cash them.
Bosworth, who has contended for more than a month that the county owes his organization money, suggested the checks were either never delivered or held up some other way.
Meanwhile, County Legislature Chairman Shawn Morse — a Strive supporter — this morning said the uncashed checks were only discovered after he threatened to audit the county's Department of Children, Youth and Families, which he said had repeatedly told him Strive was not actually owed any money.
You'll probably not be surprised to learn then that the revelation thas not much diminished Morse's desire to probe the agency's inner workings.
And while all of this happens, the renewal of Project Strive's existing contract remains held up in the County Legislature's Social Services Committee, which wants more assurances that Strive is, in fact, fiscally stable.
Bosworth, who is also the Guilderland Democratic Committee chairman, has contended some of the hold-ups with his contract may be the result of machinations by his political rivals.
But Legislator Noelle Kinsch, an Albany Democrat, said today that her opposition is absolutely not political and that she is merely doing her due diligence.
(I'll update with the exact vote once I confirm that my notes are accurate.)

Peach Basil Tart
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I have recently become addicted to the combination of peaches and basil. My dessert of choice this summer has been vanilla bean ice cream with peaches poached in basil simple syrup, and I've been thinking about what else I could do with the two. Why not put them in a tart shell? The cornmeal shell is light and gives a slightly salty contrast to the sweet, juicy peaches and basil baked inside. —Brianne Du Clos
Serves 8-10
Basil Simple Syrup
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup packed basil leaves
For the tart:
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick butter, chilled
- 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, chilled
- 3 tablespoons ice water
- 2 pounds peaches (6 medium-sized)
- 1/4 cup basil simple syrup (see above)
- 1 tablespoon basil leaves, chiffonaded
- Make the simple syrup: Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add basil leaves. Cover and let steep until cooled, 45-60 minutes.
- Make the tart crust: Sift the dry ingredients together into a large bowl. Add half the butter and shortening and cut into the dry ingredients until it looks like cornmeal. Add the remaining butter and shortening and cut in until the dough forms pea-sized pieces. Add up to three tablespoons of ice water to bring the dough together. Bring the dough together into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the peaches: peel, pit, and slice the peaches about 1/4 inch thick. Toss with simple syrup and extra basil.
- Assemble the tart: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out the tart dough and press it into a 9 inch tart pan. Prick the dough and prebake it for 10 minutes to set the crust. Allow the crust to cool. Arrange the peaches quasi-artfully into the prebaked shell and return to the oven until the crust browns and the peaches release their juices, 40-45 minutes. Cool on a rack before serving.

text: It's looking increasingly unlikely that starting middle linebacker Colin McCarthy (ankle) will play against the Chargers on Sunday, but the second-year pro will have other responsibilities, according to defensive coordinator Jerry Gray. Gray wants McCarthy to assume the kind of role Ray Lewis took on last year with the Ravens, when the veteran linebacker had to sit out four games with a toe injury. "That's one thing we've kind of talked to Colin about," Gray said. "He has to take the idea of what Ray Lewis did last year. He's the captain of our defense. You have to be the guy that's out there with the cheerleader flag. You can't just sit back and think nothing is going to happen. You still can set the tone from the sideline. You can do those things." In McCarthy's absence, Will Witherspoon will move from weakside linebacker to the middle. He practiced there at times last season and did so again during training camp. "Our middle linebacker and (weakside) linebacker are pretty much the same. Those guys are interchangeable," Gray said. "You have to be able to play in space and do some more things, and now you have to do the talking. "To me we did that last year with Witherspoon a little bit, not in games so much but in practice. We knew that if it came down to it, what would we do? … If Colin can't play, you know what, we've been giving (Witherspoon) all training camp at that position. Now let's get a chance to go out there and see what our work has done." Source: Titans Insider

I have followed Stephanie from salon to salon for many years. She's both the best and most consistent professional I've ever found to deal with my hair bar none. She's done it all: color, perm, gloss, style, and cut. She took me from bottle colored dark hair through highlighting, easing the transition to my now white head. Responsive to my need for curly and casual style that consistently receives compliments. All this and a warm and funny personality too.
Happy with her service

I think it's safe to assume that 4.0.1 will be released the 5th of october.
There is probably a lot of important changes in the engine for the streaming system and it wouldn't make sense for them to have back ported that to 3.3.5 if it was going to be online at most a few weeks before 4.0.1 goes live.
Besides, no streaming version of 3.3.5 has been tested on the PTR.
Last edited by Wreckage; 2010-09-30 at 12:28 PM.
dont know if this is anywhere els. but i cant help wondering is the Justice Points cap at 4k all the time or is it just a cap from emblems to Justice Points so Blizzard dont have anyone who just mad farming to get a huge head start ??
or is the 4k cap permanent
I'm playing on the PTR atm and no way it will be ready for this Tuesday. It will be out on the 12th October, when the arena season ends.
I thought the class combination's were only if you upgrade to Cataclysm?Most likely in 4.0.3. It's two whole different patches.
Will be fun to get the new patch on live, looking forward to playing with new abilities!
Anyway, I heard something about Herald of the Titans being removed when 4.0.1 hits live realms, because of the new talents and scaling of gear / etc. Could anyone confirm this?
New Race/Class combinations: Blood Elf (Warrior), Dwarf (Shaman, Mage, Warlock), Gnome (Priest), Humans (Hunter), Night Elf (Mage), Orc (Mage), Tauren (Paladin, Priest), Troll (Druid, Warlock), Undead (Hunter); will not be available before launch.
Even the layout of the client data files changed a lot.
So they did a lot of changes to the engine, to the client to support that feature. If they were to release it before 4.0.1 it would mean releasing a streaming version of the 3.3.5 client. As such it means they'd need to take all the probably significant internal engine and resource management changes and integrate them into the 3.3.5 client, and test them, and debug them, and it's probably not worth the effort since 3.3.5 is soon going to be history.
Blizzard doesn't answer to stakeholders directly; they're an independent subsidiary of Activism. That said, they'd get shit for missing the Q4 release. You have to understand that the stock market is stupid. It wants quarterly profits, not "gee if we wait a month our profits will be even better next quarter". From any normal point of logic this doesn't make sense, but it's the way the market works because of various factors (mostly having to do with stock brokers having neither the time nor inclination to do deep research on every company they buy and sell).
Having said that, like I said, Blizzard is an anomaly because of the way they're setup. They don't answer to directly to stock holders, they answer to Activision. Right now they are some ridiculously huge portion of Activision's revenues. They would doubtless get shit from the parent company for a next quarter release, but there's not much Activision could really do about the matter. They aren't (quite) stupid enough to shoot the goose that lays golden eggs, just because it only managed silver eggs this month.
Edit to add:
I'm thinking this will go int two parts, Down loader client updates on Oct 5th, in prep for patch on the 12th. Realistically trying to do both at the same time would be begging for trouble. Also, while I don't personally play arena, I think arena players would have quite a legitimate reason to QQ if they changed all the talents and gear itemization for the last week of the season.

I believed that it was a miracle. A miracle that was caused by him, but the outcome of it was made by the girl. And I...could never have faith in Booda, Ra or God and any of them that strong...
As she walked along the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.
The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told that he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything that they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her."
Amazingly, whether you believe it or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98 of teenagers will not stand up for God, and 93 of the people that read this won't repost it?
Repost this if you truly believe in God. And believe in miracles. I am a follower of Booda and I will respect your opinions if you don't repost this.
If you believe in Jesus Christ, put this on your profile and don't just ignore this, because in the Bible, it says if you deny me, I will deny you in front of my Father in the Gates of Heaven. So if you believe in Jesus, truly, don't deny your leader. But please, I want to tell you this, do what's right to you. And take the path you choose, and don't regret it, but at the same time, don't deny your leader...I am just a messenger...I guess...
I might take pride for things...but who ever said that I was perfect...
Read this and repost if you feel any emotion. And if you don't...I'm sorry...
He told his friends that it was cool
And when he pulled the trigger back
It shot with a great crack
Mummy I was a good girl
I did what I was told
I went to school, I got straight A's, I even got the gold
But mummy when I went to school that day, I never said goodbye
I'm sorry mummy I had to go, but mommy please don't cry
When Johnny shot the gun he hit me and another
And all because he got the gun from his older brother
Mummy please tell daddy that I love him very much
And please tell Chris, my boyfriend, that it wasn't just a crush
And tell my little sister that she is the only one now
And tell my dear sweet grandmother that I'll be waiting for her now
And tell my wonderful friends that they were the best
Mummy I'm not the first and I'm no better than the rest
Mummy tell my teachers I won't show up for class
And never to forget this and don't let it pass
Mummy why'd it have to be me no one deserves this
Mummy warn the others, I left without a kiss
And mummy tell the doctors I know they did really try
I think I even saw a doctor trying not to cry
Mummy I'm dying slowly with a bullet in my chest
But mummy please remember that I'm in heaven with the rest
Mummy I ran as fast as I could when I heard that crack
Mummy listen to me if you would
I wanted to go to college
I wanted to try things that were new
I guess I'm not going with daddy
On that trip to the new zoo
I wanted to get married
I wanted to have a kid
I wanted to be an actress
Mummy I wanted to live
But mummy I must go now
The time is getting late
Mummy tell my Chris
I'm sorry but I had to cancel the date
I love you mummy, I always have
I know you know it's true
Mummy all I wanted to say is, "mummy I love you"
In memory of all the Columbian Students that were lost
Please if you would
Pass this around
I'd be happy if you could
Don't smash this on the ground
If you pass this on
Maybe people will cry
Just keep this in the heart
Repost? Or not...

The three components of the resource type name are properties specified in the RTR file as Vendor_id, Resource_type, and RT_version. The scrgadm command inserts the period and the colon delimiters to create the name of the resource type:
The Vendor_id prefix serves to distinguish between two registration files of the same name provided by different vendors. The RT_version distinguishes between multiple registered versions (upgrades) of the same base resource type. To ensure that the Vendor_id is unique, the recommended approach is to use the stock symbol for the company creating the resource type.
Registration of the resource type will fail if the RT_version string includes a blank, tab, slash, backslash, asterisk, question mark, comma, semicolon, left square bracket, or right square bracket character.
The RT_Version property, which was optional in Sun Cluster 3.0, is mandatory starting in Sun Cluster 3.1.
The fully qualified name is the name returned by the following command:
scha_resource_get -O Type -R <resourcename> -G <resourcegroupname>
Resource type names registered prior to Sun Cluster 3.1 continue to use the form:
RTR files for upgrade aware resource types must include a #$upgrade directive, followed by zero or more directives of the form:
#$upgrade_from <version> <tunability>
The upgrade_from directive consists of the string #$upgrade_from, followed by the RT_Version, followed by the tunability constraint on the resource. If the resource type from which the upgrade is being performed does not have a version, the RT_Version is specified as the empty string, as shown in the last example below:
#$upgrade_from "1.1" when_offline #$upgrade_from "1.2" when_offline #$upgrade_from "1.3" when_offline #$upgrade_from "2.0" when_unmonitored #$upgrade_from "2.1" anytime #$upgrade_from "" when_unmanaged
The RGM enforces these constraints on a resource when the system administrator attempts to change the resource Type_version. If the current version of the resource type does not appear in the list, the RGM imposes the tunability of When_unmanaged.
These directives must appear between the resource type property declarations section of the RTR file and the resource declarations section of the RTR file. See rt_reg(4).
Change the RT_Version string in an RTR file whenever the contents of the RTR file changes. The value of this property must make it obvious which is the newer version of the resource type and which is the older. There is no need to change the RT_Version string if there are no changes to the RTR file.
Resource type names in Sun Cluster 3.0 did not contain the version suffix:
A resource type that was originally registered under Sun Cluster 3.0 continues to have a name of this form even after you upgrade the clustering software to Sun Cluster 3.1. Similarly, a resource type whose RTR file is missing the #$upgrade directive is given a Sun Cluster 3.0 format name, without the version suffix, if the RTR file is registered on a cluster running Sun Cluster 3.1 software.
You can register RTR files with the #$upgrade or #$upgrade_from directive in Sun Cluster 3.0, but, migrating existing resources to new resource types in Sun Cluster 3.0 is not supported.

at the end of the 2010 – 2011 preschool year, one of the teachers asked me to take photos of each kid as part of a little slideshow she was putting together. i had so much fun taking photos of all these cute mugs!
each photo was individually inserted in the slideshow to music. miss kelly warned me there would be tears. she was right. i'm a sucker for cute photos of kids backed by "somewhere over the rainbow" by israel kamakawiwo'ole.
i just love this preschool and it will be a bittersweet goodbye next year when stella graduates.

Honestly, Lakers may just be in a 1 or 2 year hole for now. Unless Mitch or someone finds a way to flip Pau Gasol for some depth/role players that haven't been talked about yet (maybe Houston a good option) before the trade deadline.
Or Bynum is traded for Howard and Howard agrees to stay a Laker. Anything can happen really. Reminds me of Lebron to New York tactic, ends up in Miami. I wish we could trade for Deron Williams or had cap space this summer.
I had a friend tell me Lakers could clear space this summer by getting rid of players, but I didn't believe him. Is that possible?
As far as the cap space thing goes....it is possible.....but Very Very tricky;
Lakers, as it stands now are on the hook for $67 million (2012-13)
Luke Walton may finally be tradeable as an expirer subtract $6.1 million
Ron Artest can either reject his option or be amnestied $7.2 million
Unlikely but Bynum is a team option at.......................... $16.5 million
Pau is highly overpaid by current salaries; Trade/Amesty $19 million
DFish retires and offered a coaching contract $ 3.4 million
So, while very highly unlikely that more than 1 thing above happens, assuming that ALL of the above happens, that would leave the Lakers at $31 million which is way under the cap.....this only includes Kobe and Blake. We may also have the trade exception to use. This is how Miami did the "Big 3" thing.
This could....however unlikely....allow us to get both Howard and DWill. Then fill in roster with ring chaser veterans.
I'm not saying a single bit of this will happen, just explaining the system and the math that gives it a hypothetical chance.
