Jess Parrish Medical Foundation Annual Gala Funds Youth Suicide ProgramSponsorship opportunities available for "Glamping Under the Moonlight at Compassion Ranch"
TITUSVILLE, FLA, October 7, 2015—Jess Parrish Medical Foundation (JPMF) has announced the law firm of GrayRobinson, P.A. and Laura & William Boyles as the presenting sponsors of this year's benefit gala on Friday, Oct. 23, from 8 p.m. to midnight at La Cita Country Club in Titusville.
"Glamping Under the Moonlight at Compassion Ranch" hopes to raise more than $130,000 to establish Sources of Strength, a research based, best-practice youth suicide prevention program designed to harness the power of peer social networks. According to the Florida Vital Statistic Annual Reports, Brevard County suicide death rates are higher than Orange County, Osceola County, Seminole County, Florida state and national averages.
The Children's Center will provide program management and oversight of the three-year project while working collaboratively with all of the middle and high schools in North Brevard County. "In early 2015, our community experienced a tragedy when a middle school student died by suicide. That opened our eyes to the increasingly alarming rates of teen suicide, attempted suicide and self-harm in North Brevard," said Lori Duester, manager of The Children's Center.
"Since teens are highly influenced by their peers – social development, peer acceptance and personal identity are all part of growing up," says Dr. Louis Joseph, Chairman of Psychiatry at Parrish Medical Center. He praised the Sources of Strength program for its methods, citing it as one of the few comprehensive research-based suicide prevention programs. "This program will have a strong impact on our schools and community culture," said Dr. Joseph.
Partnerships with other organizations, such as Hannah's Heroes, Inc. and community youth groups, will help extend the reach of the program within the three-year project timeframe.
Glamping, the newest global phenomenon, is where the wild outdoors intersects with unabashed luxury, in a place defined as "glamorous camping." Guests will enjoy western hospitality at its finest with live entertainment, gourmet dining, line dancing, silent auction and more – and all for a good cause! Another thrilling opportunity will be a chance to win a $1,000 cash prize or $3,000 in gift certificates to Jon's Fine Jewelry in Cocoa Village (three chances at $1,000 each) when purchasing one ticket for $20 or six tickets for $100.
"It is our privilege to be the presenting sponsor of this great event for the fourth year in a row. We believe in continuing the foundation's mission of providing healing experiences to families throughout Brevard County. Bringing this program to North Brevard will make a lasting impact for generations to come," said William A. Boyles, shareholder at GrayRobinson, P.A.
The underwriting committee has secured sponsorships from numerous community members and organizations. Rainbow Ridge sponsors include BIMDA, Florida Cardiovascular Association, FLORIDA TODAY; Susan Morse, Senior Vice President and Steve Soltesz, Financial Advisor, UBS Financial Services; N. Christine Sylvester and Zumpano Patricios & Winker, P.A.

Other generous sponsors will be recognized at the gala.
"We'd like to thank all our sponsors who will be helping make a real difference in the lives of countless teens in our community," said Mary Coleman committee co-chair. We're really excited about how things are coming together with terrific entertainment, fabulous food, and great auction items. Everyone's guaranteed to have a good time while helping teens find hope, help and strength."
Other event co-chairs include Randy Coleman and John and Betty Greene.

Parrish Medical Center Provides Emmi® Patient Education ProgramsFree, easy-to-understand online educational programs give patients control of their healthcare
TITUSVILLE, FLA. (August 25, 2015)— Parrish Medical Center (PMC) believes that the more information patients have about their healthcare, the better outcomes they will experience. This is why PMC offers its patients access to Emmi, a free, online educational program.
Emmi is a series of online presentations that makes complex medical information easy to understand. Using plain language, animation and graphics, Emmi educates patients about upcoming surgery procedures, chronic conditions and safety.
Research supports the value and efficacy of the programs. In a randomized controlled study by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) and the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, researchers found that patients who had viewed an Emmi program about their upcoming procedure had decreased anxiety, lower sedation medication requirements and shorter procedure times.
University of Chicago Medicine found improved scheduled procedure attendance for patients who had viewed an Emmi program—more than 30 percent.
"Currently, the Emmi programs are being scheduled within Pre-Admission Testing, Sleep Medicine and Women's Health," said PMC Vice President, Acute Care Services, Edwin Loftin. "Emmi Solutions supports the ability to message patients through our secure web portal. Additionally, the multimedia programs can be formatted for viewing within the patient-facing portal, providing patients with a single website for all their healthcare information."
PMC continually monitors the program. In one survey, 100 percent of patients viewing an Emmi program said they would take new action in managing their health. Patient comments include: "Wow! I'm very impressed with this system. It covers just about everything needed to know before my procedure. It answered a lot of questions as well." "Very informative as to what to possibly expect when time comes for the radiation portion of my treatment."
Patients are not rushed with Emmi. Each program is approximately 15-30 minutes and can be watched at the patient's convenience – whether it is from the comfort of their own home or wherever there is Internet access.
There is no limit on how many times a program can be viewed and programs can be stopped and restarted at any time. A summary of information can be printed.
Self-registration is available for patients scheduled for an upcoming procedure or for those with a chronic condition. Sometimes as part of a patient's care plan, a healthcare provider may issue a unique access code to view Emmi programs. Visit parrishmed.com/emmi for more information and to view the wide range of free Emmi programs.
A Mayo Clinic Care Network Member, Parrish Medical Center now in Teleneurology ProgramTelemedicine tools connect Brevard County physicians and their patients with Mayo Clinic experts 24/7
TITUSVILLE, FLA. (August 17, 2015)— Parrish Medical Center (PMC), the first hospital in Central Florida selected last year to be a Mayo Clinic Care Network (MCCN) member, is now part of the Mayo Clinic's Teleneurology Program.
The program enables Mayo Clinic neurologists to provide consultative care remotely using advancements in telemedicine technology while providing expert neurological support to PMC physicians.
The technology reduces the need to transfer patients and is being used in the evaluation of non-stroke neurological emergencies in PMC's Emergency Department and in routine neurological consultations for inpatients admitted to general medical/surgical wards and in the intensive care unit.
PMC was the first hospital in the region to work with Mayo Clinic Jacksonville and InTouch Health® to pioneer the Remote Presence (RP-7®) Robot system to further advance its Gold Seal® certified stroke program in 2009.
Stroke neurology assessments are done using a robot that is remotely controlled by a Mayo Clinic neurologist. The quicker a possible stroke patient is diagnosed, the better chance he or she has of a full recovery.
The remote physician has full view of the patient, can move the robot around the room as needed, zoom the robot's camera in and out to assess the patient and his or her responses, and talk directly with the patient, their family members and Emergency Department care partners.
The neurologist also may view the patient's diagnostic imaging and lab results.
"We're always investing in new technologies in order to provide our community the best possible care," explains Edwin Loftin, Vice President of Acute Care Services/CNO at Parrish Medical Center. "By becoming part of Mayo Clinic's Teleneurology Program, our patients now have access to a leading neurologist around the clock."
As a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, which consists of more than 30 high quality healthcare organizations, PMC physicians can enhance locally provided care. Members of the network have direct access to the latest Mayo Clinic expertise and clinical care information, and physicians can consult directly with Mayo specialists on complex cases.
Through such collaboration, PMC and Mayo Clinic believe that physicians will benefit, patients will benefit, and the delivery of healthcare will be increasingly efficient and cost effective.

GrayRobinson's history in Brevard County dates back to the 1960s. Giving back to communities where they practice law has always been a core principal of the law firm. The firm has worked with Parrish Medical Center (PMC) for many years and has shared its corporate success in a number of ways, from donating to the Children's Center Futures Fund and the Parrish Health Village to being the presenting sponsor of various events benefiting children and families in our community.
The Sievekings are passionate about improving the lives of women and are committed to providing healing experiences for the next generation. They have pledged $100,000 in their estate to leave a legacy of hope by funding women's health initiatives.
Both signature gifts are recognized on engraved glass tiles located in the PMC atrium.
The Recognition Gallery, now open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, honors philanthropic community partners helping PMC achieve its vision of Healing Families—Healing Communities®.
More than 100 guests attended the recognition event, which included a brief ceremony with comments by PMC President and CEO George Mikitarian and JPMF Board of Directors Vice Chair Jessie Kirk before unveiling the new recognition displays.
"It is an honor to recognize GrayRobinson and the Sievekings for their commitment to providing healing experiences in our community," said Kirk. "Together, they are helping PMC improve, transform, and save lives."
Thanks to Sodexo Health Care's generous contribution, the gallery has been created to include static recognition displays as well as a digital display that allows visitors, with just a swipe of a finger, to access donor testimonies, patient testimonies, funding initiatives and giving societies.
"We are so thankful to our generous benefactors and proud to showcase their commitment to PMC's vision," said Barbara Terhune, chair of the JPMF Board of Directors. "The recognition displays are much more than a listing of names. They represent hope for hundreds of seniors and caregivers, peace of mind for individuals and families, and brighter futures for all children."
Whether they are a PMC care partner, member of the auxiliary, physician or community benefactor, major gift ($10,000 or more) benefactor names have been permanently listed on displays in the gallery. Annual and employee gift donors are also recognized on displays the year following their gift.
The displays are a unique and lasting tribute commemorating donor commitment to PMC, educating others on how members of our community provide healing experiences through philanthropy and volunteerism.

Parrish Medical Center Recognized for Excellence in Minimally Invasive SurgeryAIMIS designates hospital as Gynecological Surgery Center of Excellence
TITUSVILLE, FLA. (July 31, 2015)— Parrish Medical Center was recently designated as a Gynecological Surgery Center of Excellence by the American Institute of Minimally Invasive Surgery (AIMIS). The accomplishment was achieved after passing a series of rigorous criteria established by the accrediting body.
The Gynecological Center of Excellence designation gives the North Brevard community added assurances that Parrish Medical Center has not only passed and exceeded existing norms for minimally invasive surgery quality and delivery, but also has accredited AIMIS physicians.
"We continue to assess and institute the use of latest technology and teaching methods that advance continued use and implementation of minimally invasive surgery," said Steven McCarus, MD, Chief Executive Officer of AIMIS. "Parrish Medical Center has now joined only a handful of leading hospitals around the nation—and the only one in Brevard County—to enjoy the AIMIS accreditation."
"Parrish Medical Center is proud of its distinguished track-record for excellence in women's health," said George Mikitarian, PMC President and CEO. "This most recent accreditation further demonstrates the unwavering commitment of our physicians and entire team of care partners to continuous clinical and surgical excellence."
"Gynecologists Tayna Taival and Christina Caito are key care partners in this great achievement," said Matthew Graybill, PMC Director of Perioperative Services. "Their commitment to advancing their surgical skill set along with the nurses and scrub technicians they work with and their on-going collaboration with surgical leadership to advance the training, tools and technologies needed to evolve this more minimally invasive approach made a difference."
Approximately 600,000 hysterectomies are performed each year in the United States, making it the second most common procedure performed on women in the nation.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated two-thirds of these operations involve open surgeries rather than minimally invasive laparoscopic methods.
AIMIS is focused on advancing solutions to facilitate the conversion of a greater percentage of procedures from more traumatic, open surgeries to laparoscopic approaches that offer patients shorter hospitalizations and faster returns to normal activities.
About AIMIS
The American Institute of Minimally Invasive Surgery is the nation's pre-eminent educator of minimally invasive surgical techniques. The organization both teaches minimally invasive methods and also supports graduates and members with opportunities where they can find marketing support, consulting services and strategies to help them grow and strengthen their practices. AIMIS also provides resources for patients, corporate partners and physician members and affiliates to help foster progress throughout the medical profession.

Parrish Medical Center Palliative Care Program Awarded a $10,000 GrantFunds Will Be Used to Train and Certify Community Facilitators Helping Those with Serious Illness
TITUSVILLE, FLA. (June 29, 2015)—Parrish Medical Center's Palliative Care program recently was awarded a $10,000 grant from the Jess Parrish Medical Foundation.
The grant will be used to train and certify Advanced Care Planning (ACP) facilitators throughout the community. Facilitators help people with healthcare decision-making at different stages of health in their life.
Palliative care is help for people with serious and chronic illnesses such as cancer, cardiac disease, congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney failure and many more.
Palliative care focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of their illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for patients and their families.
The program will take a train-the-trainer approach. Training will provide the basis for a systems approach to planning for advanced care.
One initiative taking place nationally to increase communication among families about personal end-of-life priorities is the Respecting Choices model.
This model will help transform healthcare in North Brevard County. It aligns with the PMC vision of Healing Families–Healing Communities®. The approach is designed to:
"As a person's health improves or declines, personal directives may change," explains Terry Donovan-Page, RN, MSN, PMC's palliative care coordinator. "Advanced Care Planning discussions need to be more routine and processes need to be in place that clearly communicate and support patient healthcare choices."
- Help people understand their choices for treatment.
- Involve patients in their own healthcare decision-making.
- Encourage them to express in writing their healthcare wishes and decisions.
- Simplify care management and communication through shared documents.
- Improve consistency in how advance-care planning is approached.
For further information, contact PMC's palliative care coordinator at 321-268-6675.
Parrish Medical Center Emergency Room Doctors Donate Life-Saving Trauma KitsTitusville and Indian River police departments to receive medical training and 55 reusable tourniquets
TITUSVILLE, FLA. (June 10, 2015)—Parrish Medical Center (PMC) emergency room doctors have purchased 55 trauma tourniquets to give away to help save lives.
The eight doctors will present the kits to Titusville and Indian River County police departments on Mon., June 15 in the PMC Conference Center at 12:30 p.m. They also will provide training for the first responders on how to effectively use the kits.
The trauma tourniquets are robust and reusable. They can be used on any limb trauma such as from a gunshot wound, according to Dr. Khalid Siddiqui, PMC emergency department medical director.
They are proven lifesavers.
"Tourniquet application prior to onset of clinical shock reduced mortality from 96 percent to 4 percent," said Siddiqui. "Ours is a small donation that will pay big dividends for our police departments, as they currently do not have them."
Emergency room Drs. Jorge Insignares and Laurence Conley initiated the donation after learning of the longstanding partnership between the New York Police Department and local hospital emergency rooms.
Siddiqui quickly agreed that it was a natural fit for PMC's vision of Healing Families—Healing Communities® in action.
"In light of all the news surrounding police in this country today, I'm hoping we can start a discussion about the importance of partnering with our first responders to help keep them and others safe as they serve to protect our communities," he said.

Jess Parrish Medical Foundation Golf Classic Drives Results Exceeding $64,000 for Early Childhood EducationTITUSVILLE, FLA, May 26, 2015 — Local residents came together for the Jess Parrish Medical Foundation (JPMF) "Fran Gerrett Memorial Golf Classic" on Friday, May 1 at La Cita Golf & Country Club and The Great Outdoors Golf Club.

"During the 15th anniversary of TCC, the golf classic was able to expand into two courses and raise a record amount so the children in our community can grow and develop into their fullest potential," said Greg Sparkman, golf committee co-chair.

Parrish Medical Center Continues National Recognition for Patient Safety; earns straight "A" grades from The Leapfrog Group since 2012TITUSVILLE, FLA. (May 1, 2015)— Designed to rate how well hospitals protect patients from accidents, errors, injuries and infections, the LeapFrog Group honored Parrish Medical Center (PMC) with its top grade in patient safety. PMC has earned an "A" grade from LeapFrog in all releases of the Hospital Safety Score since 2012. This makes PMC one of only 182 hospitals in the nation and 14 in the state of Florida to have earned that distinction.
"We continue to be proud of our impeccable patient safety record and of our employees, physicians and volunteers who dedicate themselves every day to our mission to provide healing experiences for everyone all the time," said George Mikitarian, President/CEO, Parrish Medical Center.
The Hospital Safety Score is compiled under the guidance of the nation's leading experts on patient safety and is administered by The Leapfrog Group (Leapfrog), an independent industry watchdog. The first and only hospital safety rating to be peer-reviewed in the Journal of Patient Safety, the Score is free to the public and designed to give consumers information they can use to protect themselves and their families when facing a hospital stay.
Leapfrog assigns a letter grade (A to F) to hospitals calculated from a group of 28 measures. Of the 28 measures used to calculate the scores, 15 are process-related or structure-related and 13 are outcome-based. Leapfrog uses several sources of data – the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, certain measures on Hospital Compare and AHA Annual Survey information. To see how PMC's score compares locally and nationally, and to access safety tips for patients and their loved ones, visit the Hospital Safety Score website at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org. Consumers can also go to www.hospitalsafetyscore.org for a free download of the Hospital Safety Score app.
About The Leapfrog Group
The Hospital Safety Score (www.hospitalsafetyscore.org) is an initiative of The Leapfrog Group (www.leapfroggroup.org), a national nonprofit organization using the collective leverage of large purchasers of health care to initiate breakthrough improvements in the safety, quality and affordability of health care for Americans. The flagship Leapfrog Hospital Survey allows purchasers to structure their contracts and purchasing to reward the highest performing hospitals. The Leapfrog Group was founded in November 2000 with support from the Business Roundtable and national funders and is now independently operated with support from its purchaser and other members.

OSHKOSH, Wis. (CBS/AP) A toddler in Oshkosh is okay after taking his mother's car out for short spin down the block.
Police say the mother of the 3-year-old boy told officers her son was asleep in the 1985 Buick sedan when she left it running and ran into the house for a moment Wednesday morning.
When she returned, the car was gone.
Police say the boy knelt on the seat, pulled down on the gear shift lever and started to roll down the block.
The car had traveled nearly two blocks before an officer was able to stop the vehicle.

I'm a bit confused. The other night my ex came over late. I didn't know why she showed up. She's a very strong girl, softball player who works out a lot. And when she was there we got into an argument. She kicked me in the stomach and floored me instantly. While I was on the ground she started to... Show More
Most Helpful Girl
well that's a little scary! Id say smack her on the ass so hard she almost bleeds grab her by the hair make her get on he knees and tell her to suck it. just to see if she like to be treated like how she treated you... then you will know by her reaction whether or not the sex life is going to be abusive (not healthy) or really good!
Otherwise you could always find another girl that's into rough play an being in control but still cares about you in a relationship so you don't feel like a weirdo...
Sorry if that's a bit full on :)
Good luck!
The thing is I'm dating another girl who I really like a lot. And I honestly don't think I can take her.
Sounds like an excuse to be "raped" by you ex but enjoy it without calling it cheating. I'm sure that if you really didn't want it to happen you would have done some physical damage to her anyway you could to get her to leave you alone. What happened right after the sex?
Well I actually tried getting up after she knocked me down and took a swing at her. But I missed and she cracked me in the face. I tried. I'm really embaressed. The initial kick took me by surprise too. She really did overpower me. She held me down during the sex, then afterwards, she got up told me that I'm pretty much her property, and then she left.

AbstractUnder our Phase I contract, DE Technologies Inc. demonstrated that a small array of shaped charges can neutralize land mines at a safe standoff distance. While the delivery platform is under development under a separate program, DET's has shown that theconcept can fit within the payload volume and weight constraints and that all elements of the concept are technically feasible. A baseline sub-munition has been developed and is currently being tested. This sub-munition uses staff patented technologythat has been highly effective at neutralizing surface-emplaced and buried land mines, regardless of the mine's fuzing or explosive fill. Proposed herein under the Phase II is continued development of the sub-systems culminating in flight tests. Thisprecision mine neutralizer is ideally suited for other Army and humanitarian programs as well. The Future Combat System has a number of platforms and missions that this technology provides an ideal fit, such as GSTAMIDS or integration into the SUGV, Muleor UAV platforms. This work can also be adapted to meet the various needs of the humanitarian demining programs being operated around the world.Precision mine neutralization sub-system that is highly effective from remote standoffs. Ideally suited forincorporation into other systems, such as FCS or application to humanitarian demining activities.

A complete douchebag. He's the guy that wears big fat gauges even though he's not a hardass. He likes to think of himself as the definition of every style. You know why? Because he rocks it all. Even though he really doesn't. He tries to get every girl, no matter what age or awful personality they have, because he likes all of it. He is pretty much the definition of douchebag. He's an alright guy though. Well, not really.

I'm coming from Java/C++ to Ada and am having trouble figuring out the small stuff. Is it possible to declare an array and ask the user for the min/max values then initialize it? I don't like having to define constant values for the MIN and MAX and it seems like there should be a way to do this.
You can define an unconstrained type, but you still have to initialize the size in the declare block before your program starts. Would I need to have the package body, then the procedure declaration, then a declare block inside the procedure that actually does the work, like the following?
PACKAGE BODY Build_Graph IS
TYPE Graph_Box IS ARRAY(Integer RANGE <>, Integer RANGE <>) of Character;
PROCEDURE Print_Graph(Min, Max, Height, Width: IN Integer) IS
Graph: Graph_Box(0..Height, 0..Width);
END Print_Graph;

Darnell Dockett: I've got no issues with Kerry (Rhodes)
December 5, 2012: Dockett apologizes for incident at end of game Sunday
Darnell Dockett is sorry.
He is sorry for what happened between him and teammate Kerry Rhodes.
"Me and Kerry had a very heated argument at a very heatful time in the game," he said following practice Wednesday. "Some things (happened) between me and him. I apologized to Kerry. Kerry forgave me; and that's it. I look at Kerry as one of my brothers. I respect him. I've got no issues with Kerry."
Dockett though did have an issue with what was being asked of him at the time, which led to the argument.
"It was a situation that we totally didn't agree on," he said.
Dockett would not go into specifics but it's clear from listening to the nine-year veteran, he did not agree with the strategy to let the Jets score on purpose in order for the Cardinals to get the ball back.
"It was something I don't believe in, something I didn't understand. It was frustrating at the time," he said. "At the end of the day I am never, never going to lay down and quit. I've been playing football for over 20 years. I've given this organization, I've given Florida State, I've given my high school everything I've got. I love the game. I play with passion. I will never quit. I love what I do."
The question now is whether Dockett faces any discipline.
"I don't know," he said. "I can't control that. Any time I get on the field I'm going to play my ass off. Whatever decision is whatever. It's out of my hands."
"That's an in-house matter," head coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "We've handled it in-house and we're going to move forward."

The aging process slows down when you get a body wrap, just as the legal process slows down when you shout, "No, Your Honor, you're out of order!" instead of just reading the verdict. Hold wrinkles in contempt with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $45 for one body wrap (a $160 value)
- $99 for three body wraps (a $480 value)
- $160 for six body wraps (a $960 value)
The herb body wraps by Nylynn Cosmetics last roughly 90 minutes. Technicians apply a warm aloe contouring gel and wrap the body in a plastic film for the duration. The aloe penetrates into the fat deposits and breaks down the body's toxins, which can lead to nourished skin, toned tissue, and a loss of 4–15 inches per session.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other'
Technology has become the architect of our intimacies. Online, we fall prey to the illusion of companionship, gathering thousands of Twitter and Facebook friends and confusing tweets and wall posts with authentic communication. But, as MIT technology and society specialist Sherry Turkle argues, this relentless connection leads to a new solitude. As technology ramps up, our emotional lives ramp down. Alone Together is the result of Turkle's nearly fifteen-year exploration of our lives on the digital terrain. Based on hundreds of interviews, it describes new unsettling relationships between friends, lovers, parents, and children, and new instabilities in how we understand privacy and community, intimacy, and solitude.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Life on the Screen'
Life on the Screenis a book not about computers, but about people and how computers are causing us to reevaluate our identities in the age of the Internet. We are using life on the screen to engage in new ways of thinking about evolution, relationships, politics, sex, and the self. Life on the Screen traces a set of boundary negotiations, telling the story of the changing impact of the computer on our psychological lives and our evolving ideas about minds, bodies, and machines. What is emerging, Turkle says, is a new sense of identity-- as decentered and multiple. She describes trends in computer design, in artificial intelligence, and in people's experiences of virtual environments that confirm a dramatic shift in our notions of self, other, machine, and world. The computer emerges as an object that brings postmodernism down to earth.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Life on the Screen: Identity in the Age of the Internet'
Sherry Turkle is rapidly becoming the sociologist of the Internet, and that's beginning to seem like a good thing. While her first outing, The Second Self: Computers and the Human Spirit, made groundless assertions and seemed to be carried along more by her affection for certain theories than by a careful look at our current situation, Life on the Screen is a balanced and nuanced look at some of the ways that cyberculture helps us comment upon real life (what the cybercrowd sometimes calls RL). Instead of giving in to any one theory on construction of identity, Turkle looks at the way various netizens have used the Internet, and especially MUDs (Multi-User Dimensions), to learn more about the possibilities available in apprehending the world. One of the most interesting sections deals with gender, a topic prone to rash and partisan pronouncements. Taking as her motto William James's maxim "Philosophy is the art of imagining alternatives," Turkle shows how playing with gender in cyberspace can shape a person's real-life understanding of gender. Especially telling are the examples of the man who finds it easier to be assertive when playing a woman, because he believes male assertiveness is now frowned upon while female assertiveness is considered hip, and the woman who has the opposite response, believing that it is easier to be aggressive when she plays a male, because as a woman she would be considered "bitchy." Without taking sides, Turkle points out how both have expanded their emotional range. Other topics, such as artificial life, receive an equally calm and sage response, and the first-person accounts from many Internet users provide compelling reading and good source material for readers to draw their own conclusions.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Psychoanalytic Politics'
Freud prophesied in 1914 that the final decisive battle' for psychoanalysis would take place where the greatest resistance [had] been displayed.' Wary of America's too easy acceptance, he suspected a dilution and distortion of his most vital and therefore most unacceptable doctrines. Among Western countries, France may well be the one that resisted Freud the longest. Yet quite suddenly, in the late 1960s, France was seized by an infatuation with Freudianism.' By the end of that decade, France had more than a psychoanalytic movement: it had a widespread and deeply rooted psychoanalytic culture.
At the heart of this development was Jacques Lacan's reconstruction of Freudian theory, a reinvention' of psychoanalysis that resonated with French culture in the aftermath of the uprisings of 1968.
While, in America, psychoanalysis has become increasingly identified with an essentially conservative medical establishment, the French rediscovery of Freud, in a dramatic enactment of Freud's prophesy, became associated with the most radical elements of French philosophical and political life. The story of Lacan, and why his work so profoundly influenced the French psyche, is told clearly and unerringly by Sherry Turkle in this groundbreaking work.
Already acclaimed as an absolutely indispensable contribution to the history of psychoanalysis,' this second edition of PSYCHOANALYTIC POLITICS contains two illuminating new additions. The preface explicates Lacan's impact on the French by laying out a theory of the conditions for the dissemination and acceptance of a set of philosophical positions by a culture. The final chapter, Dynasty 1991, provides a fascinating portrayal of the last years of Lacan's life, the intrigue and power struggles that resulted in the break-up of the Freudian School he founded, and the events which unfolded in the years following his death in 1981.
The heart of the book is Sherry Turkle's first-hand account of the psychoanalytic culture that developed in France--as a politicized, Gallicized, and poeticized Freudianism, deeply marked by the work of Jacques Lacan. The clearest introduction in English to Lacan's teaching, the work explores how cultures appropriate theories of mind. It is an intimate sociology of how ideas come to connect with individuals. Providing an inner history' of the sciences of the mind, this book will be invaluable reading for anyone with an interest in psychoanalysis, history, social theory, communications, film theory, and contemporary literary criticism.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Second Self: Computers and the Human Spirit'
In The Second Self, Sherry Turkle looks at the computer not as a "tool," but as part of our social and psychological lives; she looks beyond how we use computer games and spreadsheets to explore how the computer affects our awareness of ourselves, of one another, and of our relationship with the world. "Technology," she writes, "catalyzes changes not only in what we do but in how we think." First published in 1984, The Second Self is still essential reading as a primer in the psychology of computation. This twentieth anniversary edition allows us to reconsider two decades of computer culture -- to (re)experience what was and is most novel in our new media culture and to view our own contemporary relationship with technology with fresh eyes. Turkle frames this classic work with a new introduction, a new epilogue, and extensive notes added to the original text.
Turkle talks to children, college students, engineers, AI scientists, hackers, and personal computer owners -- people confronting machines that seem to think and at the same time suggest a new way for us to think -- about human thought, emotion, memory, and understanding. Her interviews reveal that we experience computers as being on the border between inanimate and animate, as both an extension of the self and part of the external world. Their special place betwixt and between traditional categories is part of what makes them compelling and evocative. (In the introduction to this edition, Turkle quotes a PDA user as saying, "When my Palm crashed, it was like a death. I thought I had lost my mind.") Why we think of the workings of a machine in psychological terms -- how this happens, and what it means for all of us -- is the ever more timely subject of The Second Self.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Simulation and Its Discontents'
Over the past twenty years, the technologies of simulation and visualization have changed our ways of looking at the world. In Simulation and Its Discontents, Sherry Turkle examines the now dominant medium of our working lives and finds that simulation has become its own sensibility. We hear it in Turkle's description of architecture students who no longer design with a pencil, of science and engineering students who admit that computer models seem more "real" than experiments in physical laboratories.
Echoing architect Louis Kahn's famous question, "What does a brick want?", Turkle asks, "What does simulation want?" Simulations want, even demand, immersion, and the benefits are clear. Architects create buildings unimaginable before virtual design; scientists determine the structure of molecules by manipulating them in virtual space; physicians practice anatomy on digitized humans. But immersed in simulation, we are vulnerable. There are losses as well as gains. Older scientists describe a younger generation as "drunk with code." Young scientists, engineers, and designers, full citizens of the virtual, scramble to capture their mentors' tacit knowledge of buildings and bodies. From both sides of a generational divide, there is anxiety that in simulation, something important is slipping away. Turkle's examination of simulation over the past twenty years is followed by four in-depth investigations of contemporary simulation culture: space exploration, oceanography, architecture, and biology.

Cuando, hace algunos años, Sherry Turkle publicó su libro The Second Self: Computers and the Human Spirit, hoy en día un clásico en la materia, nadie podía imaginar aún el espectacular cambio que iba a producirse en la forma en que concebimos y utilizamos los ordenadores. Ya no damos "órdenes" a la máquina, sino que dialoga mos, navegamos con ella, surcando mundos simulados y creando realidades virtuales. Y, además, el poder psicológico que posee el ordenador ya no se limita a la interacción persona-máquina, sino que se ha ampliado a un gran número de redes a través de las cuales podemos interactuar, hablar, intercambiar ideas y sentimientos e incluso asumir personalidades de nuestra propia creación. Éste no es, pues, un libro sobre ordenadores, sino sobre la gente y la reevaluación de sus identidades en la era de Internet, sobre nuestra implicación informática en nuevas formas de pensar acerca de la evolución, las relaciones, la política, el sexo y el yo. Y lo que acaba emergiendo, según Turkle, es un nuevo sentido de la identidad humana, descentrado y múltiple, que a su vez sirve para describir las últimas tendencias del diseño informático, de la inteligencia artificial y de las experiencias de la gente en ciertos entornos virtuales: el ordenador, en fin, como profeta del posmodernismo en la tierra.
