Graduates of different UK medical schools show substantial differences in performance on MRCP(UK) Part 1, Part 2 and PACES examinations
1 Department of Psychology, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK
2 Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, 9 Queen Street, Edinburgh EH2 1JQ, UK
3 National Board of Medical Examiners, 3750 Market Street. Philadelphia, PA 19104-3102, USA
4 Academic Centre for Medical Education, University College London, Holborn Union Building, Archway Campus, Highgate Hill, London N19 5LW, UK
5 MRCP(UK) Central Office, Examinations Department, 11 St. Andrews Place, Regent's Park, London NW1 4LE, UK
BMC Medicine 2008, 6:5 doi:10.1186/1741-7015-6-5Published: 14 February 2008
The UK General Medical Council has emphasized the lack of evidence on whether graduates from different UK medical schools perform differently in their clinical careers. Here we assess the performance of UK graduates who have taken MRCP(UK) Part 1 and Part 2, which are multiple-choice assessments, and PACES, an assessment using real and simulated patients of clinical examination skills and communication skills, and we explore the reasons for the differences between medical schools.
We perform a retrospective analysis of the performance of 5827 doctors graduating in UK medical schools taking the Part 1, Part 2 or PACES for the first time between 2003/2 and 2005/3, and 22453 candidates taking Part 1 from 1989/1 to 2005/3.
Graduates of UK medical schools performed differently in the MRCP(UK) examination between 2003/2 and 2005/3. Part 1 and 2 performance of Oxford, Cambridge and Newcastle-upon-Tyne graduates was significantly better than average, and the performance of Liverpool, Dundee, Belfast and Aberdeen graduates was significantly worse than average. In the PACES (clinical) examination, Oxford graduates performed significantly above average, and Dundee, Liverpool and London graduates significantly below average. About 60% of medical school variance was explained by differences in pre-admission qualifications, although the remaining variance was still significant, with graduates from Leicester, Oxford, Birmingham, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and London overperforming at Part 1, and graduates from Southampton, Dundee, Aberdeen, Liverpool and Belfast underperforming relative to pre-admission qualifications. The ranking of schools at Part 1 in 2003/2 to 2005/3 correlated 0.723, 0.654, 0.618 and 0.493 with performance in 1999–2001, 1996–1998, 1993–1995 and 1989–1992, respectively.
Candidates from different UK medical schools perform differently in all three parts of the MRCP(UK) examination, with the ordering consistent across the parts of the exam and with the differences in Part 1 performance being consistent from 1989 to 2005. Although pre-admission qualifications explained some of the medical school variance, the remaining differences do not seem to result from career preference or other selection biases, and are presumed to result from unmeasured differences in ability at entry to the medical school or to differences between medical schools in teaching focus, content and approaches. Exploration of causal mechanisms would be enhanced by results from a national medical qualifying examination.

'Berlin Man,' Doctor Convinced HIV Cure is Real
ST. LOUIS - The first person reportedly cured of HIV said Wednesday he is hopeful that medical advances will allow others suffering from the virus that causes AIDS to be cured, too.
Timothy Ray Brown of San Francisco is known as "The Berlin Patient" because of where he was treated. He and the doctor who treated him, Gero Hutter, made their first joint appearance in the U.S. on Wednesday when Hutter spoke at a symposium on gene therapy at Washington University in St. Louis.
Scientists are studying whether gene therapy can be used to rid the body of HIV. Some doctors remain skeptical that Brown, 46, is cured. His case was first reported in the media in 2008 and described in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2009.
Brown and Hutter, in an interview with The Associated Press during the symposium, said the passage of time is further proof that Brown is cured. Hutter cited the same five-year standard after which some cancer patients are said to be cured.
Brown was diagnosed with HIV in 1995. In 2006, he also developed leukemia while living in Germany. Hutter performed a blood stem cell transplant using a donor with a rare gene mutation that provides natural resistance to HIV. Hutter said that resistance transferred to Brown.
Brown said he feels great, has not needed HIV medication since the 2007 surgery, and is now active in a foundation named for him that seeks a cure for HIV.
Brown grew up in Seattle and moved to Germany in 1993. After the HIV diagnosis, he started on medication to prevent him from developing full-blown AIDS.
He was attending a wedding in New York in 2006 when he became unusually tired. An avid cyclist, within weeks he could barely ride the bike and eventually was diagnosed with leukemia.

An immigrant deported to Mexico who is fighting to keep custody of his three children received permission to return to the United States to continue his court battle in North Carolina.
Since ICE, the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, is not generally known for its humanitarian actions, this is great news.
Felipe Bautista Montes was granted temporary permission to enter the U.S. so that he can attend a court hearing regarding his parental rights and the custody of his three young children.
Montes was deported from his North Carolina home nearly two years ago, following repeated stops for driving without a license. When he went to court to pay his fines, two ICE agents were waiting for him. They handcuffed him and transferred him to a detention center in Georgia, from where he was deported to Mexico on December 3, 2010, as his wife, a U.S. citizen, was expecting the couple's third child.
Soon after Felipe's deportation, Marie Montes lost custody of their children due to economic difficulties and a decline in her health. The state Division of Social Services placed the kids with foster families who are now seeking to adopt them.
Montes's situation is not an isolated case, according to the Applied Research report "Shattered Families," which shows that more than 5,000 children of deported or detained immigrant parents are currently in foster homes.
Following national and international media attention, the Mexican Consulate in North Carolina hired a private law firm to apply to ICE for what's called Humanitarian Parole, or permission to enter the United States.
It worked! Last week, the Mr. Montes received a call telling him that he'd been granted permission to attend his custody hearing, and yesterday he walked out of the airport in Charlotte, North Carolina, and made his way to Sparta. That's the town where he lived for nearly a decade with his wife, where his kids were born, and where the children now live in foster homes.
From Colorlines:
"I didn't believe it at first," Montes told Colorlines.com yesterday, shortly after his arrival in the U.S. "I didn't really believe it until I got here." Montes, who has been forced by ICE to wear an electronic ankle bracelet that tracks his movement, is required at intervals to check in with an ICE official in North Carolina.
ICE has rarely granted a permission like this one. A spokesperson wrote in an email to Colorlines.com, "Under the authority of the Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, ICE provides temporary parole on rare occasions involving urgent humanitarian or public interest needs. Each circumstance is considered on a case-by-case basis."
"This is the first time in my 11 years here that we've been successful in bringing someone back on humanitarian parole through the same agency that deported them," said Carlos Flores, the consul general of the Mexican Consulate for the Carolinas. "We've gotten people here for short periods who just need to come into the country, but never someone who's been deported."
Montes does not know when he will be allowed to see his children. For now, he waits for his hearing on August 10. "I want to make sure I do everything right here. My babies are the most important thing to me," he tells Colorlines.
Children need all the love and support they can get to grow up in this world; it sounds like the Montes extended family in Mexico is ready to embrace and welcome these youngsters, and dad is obviously willing to fight hard for his children.
We wish him the very best.

"Deport all Hispanic Latino families illegal or not" true motto of the RMoney/Ryan ideology, The Right wing neo-con want all non-white poor immigrants out of America. Vote Obama back into office for sanity to prevail.
This family has the right o be together. At least they are trying to do right.
Jane: It's the father that doesn't have any rights. But when was the last time you saw a heading for "children's rights" here at Care2? Let alone "father's rights."
This is so wrong. He is the childrens biological father and wants to care for them. No matter what the reason was that they were taken from the mother, he has a right to them! They should be with him whether here in the U.S or in Mexico. These children should not be separated from both parents. They have rights too. They have the right to be with family.
Since when does the USA take children from their rightful parents and adopt them out? This father and mother should have every right to have their children as any US citizen. This is the second case we have had in recent weeks on Care2, we need to petition the government to stop these strong-arm tactics with illegal parents or parent.
Seems to me the social services departments around our country need to be stripped of the authority to take children from CARING PARENTS, put in foster homes and then adopt them out These people don't need and should not have to endure their children being taking away from them; they need some temporary help to get through their crisis.. WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS DAMN IT.
Sounds like he was a repeat criminal before he was deported. The kids deserve better than that.
Why did the woman who was an immigrant have her children taken from her and put in foster care? Does anyone remember that one not long ago?
Let him take the kids back to Mexico. Save a lot of problems.
Ideally, he should be given a sanctuary status of some sort; his wife is ill - shouldn't he be allowed to stay with her and his children, here? After all, his wife and the children are U.S. Citizens, and he was obviously a hard working family man before his traffic tickets ended up getting him into the hands of ICE. If she's ill, having her family back together could make all the difference We usually fall terrible short, when there is an uproar over immigration status, when the CHILDREN and their futures should come first. Those children wouldn't be better off with foster or adopted families - separated - knowing they have parents who DO really love them. They will become depressed and perhaps even hostile. This is another one of those instances when common sense and sensibility should trump Laws.
Al long as he's a caring father, the kids should be with him.

The Crisis We Face
Sexual harassment in Egypt has reached catastrophic levels. In a UN Women 2013 study, 99.3% of Egyptian women surveyed said that they have been sexually harassed in their everyday life. The same study revealed that, in 85% of the cases, none of the bystanders actually intervened to help.
This epidemic has taken an even uglier turn. Sexual violence is now being used as a tool against women participating in political and public life. In just six days of mass protests between June 28 and July 7 2013, over 185 cases of horrific mob sexual assault and rape have been reported in Tahrir Square.
This is what a mob attack looks like: tens to hundreds—and sometimes thousands—of men will encircle a woman and begin to rip off her clothes, attack, and molest her, sometimes using knives and sharp objects. In some cases, the woman is raped. We believe that some of these attacks may be partially organized and politically motivated, but we are saddened and sickened to report that, in many cases, large numbers of bystanders look on passively—many even join in the frenzy.
It is a tragedy that sexual harassment and assault have somehow become socially acceptable in Egypt, with many people justifying the incidents and blaming the victims, or simply turning a blind eye. In a close-knit society where people will often intervene to stop a thief or break up a fight, this attitude reveals some serious misconceptions about sexual harassment and assault that urgently need to be addressed and turned around.
Our Mission
We at HarassMap are working to end the epidemic of sexual violence against women in Egypt. We have years of experience in conducting research on the issue and combating sexual harassment on the ground in communities all over the country. We are now launching a nationwide campaign to transform perceptions and passive attitudes on the issue and to rouse people into action. We need your help to make this happen.
Our aim is to raise $200,000 to create a massive campaign. Through advertising in TV, print, radio, online, music, art, graffiti and other channels, we will work to put an end to the epidemic of sexual harassment and assault. We will harness the Egyptian communal spirit to mobilize people to once again step in and intervene against sexual harassment, thus re-establishing the social safeguards that used to be a powerful deterrent against harassment.
Who we are
HarassMap, launched in 2010, is the first independent initiative to ever work on the issue of sexual harassment in Egypt.
We are also part of the OpAntiSH coalition (Operation Anti-Sexual Harassment and Assault: https://www.facebook.com/opantish), which intervenes directly to rescue women from mob attacks during mass protests.
Our day-to-day work consists of harnessing online and mobile technology to support a huge on-the-ground mobilization effort. We crowdsource SMS and online reports of sexual harassment, map them on our "HarassMap" (harassmap.org), and use these reports to show people the magnitude of the issue and dispel all the myths and excuses attached to the topic, like "how women dress" or "sexual frustration" being the reasons for sexual harassment.
Our 700 volunteers all over Egypt take our Map and go into their own neighborhoods, talking to people with a permanent presence in the street, like doormen/women, shopkeepers, kiosk owners - people who influence the culture of that street. Using real evidence from our reports, our volunteers respond to all the excuses people make for harassers, and convince them to stand up to harassment when they see it happen.
One of these courses of action is to declare their locale a Safe Zone, Vehicle, or School and to become role models in society who proudly show they have a zero tolerance policy for harassment. One by one, we're working with residents, businesses, drivers, workers, and students in neighborhoods all over the country to restore our sense of social responsibility and make all of Egypt a Safe Zone.
We also help activists around the world to implement HarassMap in their own countries, providing coaching and technical assitance. HarassMap has already launched in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India; projects in progress include Libya, Turkey, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, US, Canada, Iran, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Cambodia, Morocco and a group of countries in South America.
Finally, some of our awards:
- World Summit Youth Award (November 2011)
- Deutsche Welle Best of the Blogs (BOBs) award for 'Best Use Of Technology For Social Good 2012' (June 2012)
- Certificate of Recognition from the My Community Our Earth Partnership (August 2012)
Up till June 2012, we were a 100% volunteer initiative with an almost nonexistent budget, and yet we still managed to achieve all of the above. Today HarassMap consists of 4 founders, 13 paid staff, and approximately 700 volunteers in 13 governorates around Egypt.
How You Can Help
We need your help to fund a nationwide campaign of TV commercials, print ads, radio ads, guerilla marketing, pop culture, and graffiti to combat this epidemic.

Tracking the Results
We don't do things haphazardly. We will be doing research prior to launching our campaign to get updated figures and insights on where we stand in terms of:

That Lerochrome model is a beauty!
As for equalizing exposures on the film end, it'd be interesting to experiment with different film speeds for each color. This introduces problems with contrast though, but perhaps a system of development could be worked out to minimize the effects. But as I understand it, keeping the same contrast is pretty crucial for accurate color, for obvious reasons.

Three trends you need to employ in order to get ahead of the market and your peers in the mobile space.
Mobile media has become a critical part of the digital marketing landscape. This isn't to say that it hasn't been valuable up until this point - many media buyers will be quick to tell you they've had great success with mobile for years. Not until this year, however, does it feel as though mobile is something businesses can no longer afford to overlook.
Why now? In short, we're running out of time. As with every new media channel mastering mobile isn't without its share of challenges, but unlike other mediums, mobile doesn't afford us the luxury of time to figure things out. Earlier this year location software company Yext released an infographic that went a long way toward describing the urgency marketers should be feeling.
In order to take full advantage of the promotional opportunities associated with mobile there are a few things we need to know, regardless of how much or how little we're currently engaging in the space. By drilling down to the details, we can get a sense of where the market is apt to go from here. What follows are three trends to employ in order to get ahead of the market - and your peers.
Mobile and tablet segmentation. Until very recently, mobile advertising vendors were bundling mobile and tablet placements. There were very few opportunities for campaigns that targeted by device. This is changing. Look for suppliers to offer mobile-only and tablet-only campaigns - a particularly appealing development for those brands that wish to leverage the larger screen and advanced functionality offered by tablet devices.
Activation. The concept of allowing consumers to "activate" their mobile experience through such technologies as QR codes and music services like Shazam is increasing interactivity in mobile campaigns and making them far easier to measure. According to ClickZ columnist Jessica Richards, "Activation through mobile can be a great opportunity to extend the conversation from a traditional medium and represents a tracking mechanism." Just be sure to deliver content that's valuable to the mobile user.
Establish a mobile strategy. Goes without saying? Not necessarily. Many brands are so eager to get involved with mobile that they don't stop to consider what they need it to achieve, and what mobile can offer that's consistent with their brand goals. You've certainly heard it said that building a mobile app or a mobile site is not the same as having a mobile strategy. This couldn't be truer. Before you begin devising your mobile campaign, explore your options and determine which are best suited to your objectives.
Whether the best strategy for your needs is to fine-tune your mobile site, build a mobile app, or place display ads with mobile ad networks, there's something for you, and something for everyone, in mobile. It's time to dive in, but not without a plan and not without a thorough understanding of the market, your options, and the opportunities at your disposal. Embrace them now, and you could find your brand mirroring the growth of the mobile market in penetration, interaction, and success.

Plastic Surgeons Donate Sport Helmets to Local School Children
Seattle, WA (Vocus) October 21, 2009 -- The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) will donate more than 1,500 multi-sport helmets to the children of Seattle in an event on Wednesday, October 28, from 9:30 – 11:00 a.m. The donation will be held at Leschi Elementary School in Seattle during an assembly in which the children will be fitted with the helmets and learn the importance of bicycle safety.
Superintendent Maria L. Goodloe-Johnson, Ph.D.; Holly Miller, Director, Office of Education for the City of Seattle; James Kelly, Executive Director, Seattle Urban League; and a representative from the Seattle Police Department will join ASPS President John Canady, MD, and other ASPS Member Surgeons for the helmet donation ceremony, which is open to the press.
"Many wonder why this cause is so important to the plastic surgery community and it's because we are called upon to treat thousands of bicycle-related injuries each year," said Dr. Canady. "Through this donation, we hope to prevent injuries and encourage more children to wear helmets, so that ASPS Members may never have to meet them in the ER."

DENVER — Not all Coloradans appreciated former Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy harshing their buzz Wednesday with his anti-marijuana effort.
Mr. Kennedy received a mixed reception at the unveiling of Project Smart Approaches to Marijuana, known as Project SAM, which seeks to spread information about the medical and public-health drawbacks of legalizing marijuana.
"Project SAM was created because we were concerned about the mad rush to legalization in this country and the false dichotomy presented as policy," Mr. Kennedy said. "Incarceration or legalization. Lock 'em up or let 'em use. This is not where we want this debate to devolve to. … We need a more enlightened, thorough and thoughtful discussion and policy debate."
Immediately beforehand, Mason Tvert, Colorado's best-known legalization advocate, held a news conference outside the Denver Press Club where he accused Mr. Kennedy of hypocrisy for lecturing the public on marijuana even though the Kennedy empire was built on liquor.
"Why is it that someone who is an heir to an alcohol fortune would want to keep an alternative to alcohol that's less harmful illegal?" said Mr. Tvert, who ran the successful Amendment 64 campaign. "This is an effort to keep marijuana illegal when the public is overwhelmingly stating to recognize that it doesn't work."
He displayed a sign that purported to show the distinctions between "Marijuana Sold by Stores" and "Alcohol Sold by Patrick Kennedy's Grandfather."
Mr. Kennedy, who spoke frankly about his struggles with substance abuse during the press event, said the criticism "illustrates how much this debate has devolved."
"Somehow this is now trying to become a personalized assault on me as a figurehead in this, when I readily said at the beginning I want you to listen to the public-health folks," said Mr. Kennedy, who shared the stage with two Colorado doctors and a public-health advocate.
Mr. Kennedy's message appeared to come about three months too late, given that Colorado and Washington voters approved ballot measures in November legalizing limited recreational marijuana use for adults 21 and over.
He explained that the election came as a wake-up call for him and others concerned about the lingering health effects and addictive properties of marijuana, especially among adolescents.
"Like everyone else, I woke up after Election Day and saw that this was moving so fast in states like Washington and Colorado, and it looked as though the domino effect is that it could move even quicker to other states, my own Rhode Island among those," Mr. Kennedy said.
The effort is bipartisan: In addition to the Democrat Kennedy, Project SAM is led by David Frum, a Republican commentator and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush
Kevin Sabet, former drug-policy adviser to the Obama and Bush administrations, said the Colorado and Washington measures passed in part because they had better funding a nd organization, as well as weak opposition.
At the same time, Mr. Sabet said there were no plans to over turn the two state measures. He noted that a repeal may not be necessary, given that the amendments conflict with federal drug law and that Justice Department has yet to announce whether it will allow the states to proceed with legalized marijuana use.
"I understand we're in Colorado, but we do have a federal law," Mr. Sabet said. "And so that is going to have to be discussed in terms of federal versus state, so we don't know what the outcome is of that yet."
Still, Mr. Kennedy may be running afoul of another prominent Democrat: President Obama, who said in a post-election television interview that the federal government has "bigger fish to fry" than prosecuting Coloradans for marijuana possession.
That's where Project SAM comes in, Mr. Kennedy said. The president "needs to hear from us. He knows that you can't lead without people behind you."
"If he doesn't see strong support out there for his position, it's hard for us to expect him to carry our water, so to speak," Mr. Kennedy said.
In the meantime, Project SAM's state affiliate is planning to weigh in on the Colorado task force charged with devising a regulatory and legal framework for implementation of Amendment 64. Dr. Chris Thurstone, a member of the state marijuana task force, is also participating in Project SAM.
Mr. Tvert said such involvement wasn't appropriate. "They're trying to inject themselves into regulatory decisions being made here in Colorado," he said.
Mr. Kennedy disagreed.
"What I want is to slow this train down and kind of begin a discussion before other states rush to judgment, which is what I think happened here," he said.

Beware methyl iodide use in state
If you could prevent cancer, brain damage, abortions, premature death and groundwater contamination by making a phone call or signing a letter, would you do it?
Japanese chemical corporation Arysta is lobbying to register toxic, cancer-causing methyl iodide as an agricultural fumigant for use in California. It's intended to replace methyl bromide, which is being phased out under the Montreal Protocol because it depletes the ozone layer.
Applied as gases, fumigant pesticides frequently drift away from their targets. Methyl bromide has been a problem here when it drifted off of strawberry fields into homes and schools, sickening hundreds. Methyl iodide is a greater threat to health and the environment.
It is so toxic that it is used to induce cancer in laboratory animals. Scientists working with it take extreme precautions when handling it in tiny amounts. It could be used at the rate of 175 pounds per acre on farm fields.
Even buffer zones of 400 feet for a 40-acre fumigation would still result in a dose of methyl iodide to neighbors that is 375 times higher than the California Department of Pesticide Regulation believes is acceptable. For workers, exposures are estimated at 3,000 times higher than acceptable dose. Fumigant gases do not recognize buffer-zone boundaries.
Methyl iodide is listed as a carcinogen under California's Proposition 65 statute; it affects the nervous system, lungs, liver and kidneys; and is a groundwater contaminant.
Because it is so dangerous, more than 50 scientists — five Nobel Laureates — sent a letter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency expressing astonishment that the U.S. is "working to legalize broadcast releases of one of the more toxic chemicals used in manufacturing into the environment."
This affects our whole Ventura County community! Today and Friday in Sacramento, scientists from around the country will review the state's science on this chemical. As scientists and policymakers weigh the opinion of pesticide manufacturer Arysta versus the health of Californians, say "no" to registering this pesticide in California! Not registering this toxic chemical will prevent its use in California. Call the Governor's Office and go to http://www.panna.org to Take Action to Keep Methyl Iodide out of California Strawberry Fields!
Strawberry growers should be asking scientists for less-toxic solutions, instead of putting Californians' health and groundwater at risk.

The way in which we watch television has been completely revolutionised by services such as Sky+. The ability to not only record programmes and watch them at another time, but also to pause live broadcasts, means that very few of us now watch programmes at the time they are broadcast. Using the Sky+ app you can take control of your Sky+ box wherever you may be.
Using the app you can browse through the next seven days of TV listings to see what's coming up on the channels you have subscribed to. But it doesn't end there. If you spot a show you like but are away from home, there is no need to send yourself a reminder to set up a recording. Instead, you can simply hit the record button on your iPhone or iPad and the show will be recorded for you at home.
Both iPhone and iPad versions of the app have the same basic functionality, but the iPad edition makes great use of the extra screen space. Extra information is displayed about each of the programmes in the schedule, and you can enjoy show recommendations as well as suggestions for shows you may like based on your viewing history.
The Sky+ is a great tool, but it is lacking in some areas. The lack of support for series linking means that you will need to remember to record the remainder of a series when you are next at your Sky box or, if you are away for a while, you will need to keep remotely configuring recordings.
Sky+ 4.7 is a minor upgrade. New features include:
- Fully supports IOS7
- If your Sky+HD box is connected to the internet you can send On Demand downloads to your box when you're out and about so that it's ready to watch when you get home
Sky+ is a great tool in its own right, but the ability to control your box via the internet is simply incredible.

Its first foray into the small business Network Attached Storage (NAS) market, Western Digital's new WD Sentinel DX4000 stands out mainly by virtue of its use of Windows Server 2008 R2 Essentials rather than Linux, as on most other NAS boxes.The hardware is pretty unremarkable, Western Digital opting for a dual-core Intel D525 Atom to drive its appliance supported by 2GB of DDR3 RAM.
The four additions to the TeraStation range for small businesses swap in Intel dual-core Atoms for the previous Marvell chips and come with drives pre-installed
At first glance, HP's newly-announced StorageWorks X500 Data Vault range of NAS devices bear more than a passing resemblance to its recently-updated range of MediaSmart Servers that are powered by Windows Home Server (WHS). Closer inspection reveals them to be almost identical, the crucial difference being that the X500 is aimed squarely at what HP calls 'small and emerging businesses'.
The Atom-powered RipNAS launched at the beginning of this year in the UK, but the boutique retailer has introduced two new models, one of which is claimed to be "the world's first SSD-based CD ripping" NAS device.The RipNAS Statement, which comes in both totally-silent SSD and almost-silent HDD flavors, is based on the Windows Home Server OS and can handle CD ripping, media streaming and networked file storage.
A generously-specified appliance running Windows Storage Server 2003, the StorCenter Pro NAS 450r scores on performance, but is pricey and lacks capacity.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Michelle did my makeup for my wedding, as well as makeup for my mother and bridesmaids. When I first met her for my trial, she really listened to what I wanted and created the look I asked for. I loved how I looked on my wedding day and she did a phenomenal job on my mom and bridesmaids as well. We all enjoyed working with her so much!
She does the best makeup ever! My skin looked flawless and natural on my wedding day! I'm very picky about my makeup, and she was perfect. My bridesmaids all loved their makeup as well. She also did my husband's mom and my mom, and they both loved their makeup as well. She is very personable and I was very pleased :)
The airbrush looked great! And applied fake eyelashes. But seemed expensive $75
This lady rocks! She captured the look we needed in order to look our best in wedding photos and of course for our guests. Will probably use in the future for my other daughters wedding this spring
She did a great job! My makeup looked and stayed flawless all night.
I would recommend Michelle to anyone, she was a huge part of making my wedding day amazing. I hate to use a cliche phrase like, "she makes you feel like a princess or movie star" because it's even more than that. She makes you feel that way you always dreamed of feeling on such a special day, beautiful and comfortable in your own skin! The look Michelle gave me was just what I wanted, she listens to you and adjusts to whatever comments or worries you may have. I surprised my Mom with getting her makeup done as well, and my Mom couldn't stop raving, she felt so special and my Dad was gushing about his beautiful wife all night (they've been married 50 years). Michelle is a pleasure to get to know and is truly an artist.
Michelle Kinkaid is amazing!!! She was my makeup artist on my wedding day and I was blown away by the way I looked on my big day!! She was so professional to work with and made me feel so comfortable while working together! She's a great person and I definitely recommend her to be your makeup artist for your special day!!!
You did a beautiful job on all of our make-up. Pouring rain and losing power were over the top. You remained calm and just kept working. I will be happy to use you again!
Michelle made myself along with my bridesmaids and mother look gorgeous for my wedding day!!!! She traveled to our venue and that is a huge plus when getting ready for your wedding. She was calm and professional...even as we lost power and rain was pouring outside!!! I had so many comments on my makeup that day because she did amazing work!! I would use her again for events or family weddings!!
Michelle is an amazing make up artist. I loved my wedding make-up. All my girls make-up looked wonderful as well. If I ever need my make-up done again I will definitely go back to Michelle.
Michelle was very friendly and did an amazing job on my makeup. She definitely is a pro at what she does and it shows. I am very happy with my experience.
Michelle Kinkaid worked within the parameters of our budget, which is so important when you are usually over budget when it comes to a wedding. She did such a beautiful job with the make up for my daughter the bride who is very particular and the wedding party. I highly recommend her.
Michelle was fantastic! She was on time, and had four of us to make up with four different skin types and shades. She made everyone look fantastic, without looking " made up". I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone for any special occasion. Since this was my daughters' wedding, it was so important that everyone was happy with their makeup, and everyone was.
Thank you Michelle,
Jennifer Maroni
Michelle is extremely talented and professional! I was beyond pleased with the makeup she did for my wedding day. Highly recommend her for any occasion!
Michelle did a fabulous job on my makeup for the wedding I was in. The airbrush was great and lasted all day even in the 100 degree heat! I had so many compliments on my makeup and I felt great!! Thank you Michelle for a fabulous job!!! :-)
Michelle was fantastic! She is a sweet heart and very professional. She was able to fit me in on short notice for my wedding. The run thru was a great way for her to get to know you and your skin ;) so I would highly suggest one before the big day. She is there to make you look beautiful and won't apply anything you don't want her to. I would definitely recommend Michelle for any of your make up needs.

A study commissioned by the city administration in 1973 for the coming of cable television recommended municipal ownership for delivering the service locally, a concept favored in discussions at the Federal Communications Commission during the Sixties. Thirty years after local cable began broadcasting, during a series of buzz groups, November 9 to 12, conducted by the Buske Group, contracted by the city to make recommendations for the negotiation of a local franchise agreement, there was little mention of that concept. But engineer Carlo Moneti, who has spent considerable time studying on it, maintains that municipal ownership could reduce local subscriber rates by at least 30 percent.
"I've been doing a sanity check," Moneti told City Eagle, "talking with Tim Nulty, a retired economist who has developed several telecom services, talking to the people at Metronet and others in the field. He lives in Vermont, where Burlington is one of the 400 communities across the country that have municipal systems. He's interested in Syracuse because of its size, because it's urban, and its proximity. He's an authority on the subject, and could put together a plan with a basic buy in to see if it's feasible here. The city could buy the {transmission} system from Time Warner. Time Warner doesn't want to sell, because the system is too lucrative. But the franchise agreement has expired, and the city doesn't have to renew it."
Down for a decade
During the buzz groups, facilitator Susan Buske repeatedly warned those in attendance representing city agencies, organizations, businesses or themselves as cable viewers, that the franchise agreement, currently under mutually agreed upon extension, if renewed, would lock in items of negotiated agreement for 10 years. She emphasized that a 1984 federal law established that cable franchise agreements can not be exclusive, and that the city could negotiate the same agreement with both Time Warner and Verizon, which is looking to build a subscriber base in the city. The 1984 law, she noted, also mandated a 5 percent franchise fee to be used at the city's discretion. The current agreement, with about 34,000 subscribers, is extended until March 2010.

The Nine Worlds. The Nine Worlds (Old Norse Níu Heimar) are the homelands of the various types of beings found in the pre-Christian worldview of the Norse and other Germanic peoples.
They're held in the branches and roots of the world-tree Yggdrasil. The Nine Worlds as a group are mentioned in a poem in the Poetic Edda.[1] However, no source gives a list of exactly which worlds comprise the nine.
Golem. Prague reproduction of Golem In Jewish folklore, a golem (/ˈɡoʊləm/ GOH-ləm; Hebrew: גולם) is an animated anthropomorphic being, created entirely from inanimate matter.

The Symposium is one of the foundational documents of Western culture and arguably the most profound analysis and celebration of love in the history of philosophy.
It is also the most lavishly literary of Plato's dialogues--a virtuoso prose performance in which the author, like a playful maestro, shows off an entire repertoire of characters, ideas, contrasting viewpoints, and iridescent styles. History and Background A symposium is literally a "drinking together"--in other words a drinking party.
In Athens, in Plato's day, symposia were strictly stag affairs. As a rule, they consisted of a fairly lavish, semi-formal banquet followed by ceremonial toasts and bouts of drinking.

The Loch Ness Monster is a cryptid, a creature whose existence has been suggested but is not discovered or documented by the scientific community.[3] It is reputedly a large unknown animal that inhabits Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands.
It is similar to other supposed lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere, though its description varies from one account to the next. Popular interest and belief in the animal's existence has varied since it was first brought to the world's attention in 1933.

Greek mythology is explicitly embodied in a large collection of narratives, and implicitly in Greek representational arts, such as vase-paintings and votive gifts.
Greek myth attempts to explain the origins of the world, and details the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines, and mythological creatures. These accounts initially were disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition; today the Greek myths are known primarily from Greek literature. Archaeological findings provide a principal source of detail about Greek mythology, with gods and heroes featured prominently in the decoration of many artifacts.
Sea monster. Sea monsters are sea-dwelling mythical or legendary creatures, often believed to be of immense size.
Marine monsters can take many forms, including sea dragons, sea serpents, or multi-armed beasts. They can be slimy or scaly and are often pictured threatening ships or spouting jets of water. The definition of a "monster" is subjective, and some sea monsters may have been based on scientifically accepted creatures such as whales and types of giant and colossal squid. Sightings and legends[edit] Plate ca. 1544 depicting various sea monsters; compiled from the Carta Marina. Hittite/Hurrian Mythology. The Hurrians occupied the land between the Hittites and Assyria, having descended from the mountains south of the Caspian Sea.
They ruled the kingdom of Mitanni. In the late 15th century B.C. the Hittite empire's beginning is marked by an influx of Hurrian names into the royal family. Tudhalyas I (1420 B.C.) reunited Western Anatolia under Hittite rule, and retook Allepo but lost the Black Sea coast to the Kaska tribes. After some difficulty with the Mittani the Hittites resurged under King Suppilulimas around 1344-1322 taking a firmer hold on Syria. Myths and legends. Chinese mythology. Chinese mythology refers to those myths found in the historical geographic area of China: these include myths in Chinese and other languages, as transmitted by Han Chinese as well as other ethnic groups (of which fifty-six are officially recognized by the current administration of China).[1] Chinese mythology includes creation myths and legends, such as myths concerning the founding of Chinese culture and the Chinese state.
As in many cultures' mythologies, Chinese mythology has in the past been believed to be, at least in part, a factual recording of history. Thus, in the study of historical Chinese culture, many of the stories that have been told regarding characters and events which have been written or told of the distant past have a double tradition: one which presents a more historicized and one which presents a more mythological version.[2]
Moai. Moai facing inland at Ahu Tongariki, restored by Chilean archaeologist Claudio Cristino in the 1990s Moai i/ˈmoʊ.aɪ/, or mo'ai, are monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people from rock on the Chilean Polynesian island of Easter Island between the years 1250 and 1500.[1] Nearly half are still at Rano Raraku, the main moai quarry, but hundreds were transported from there and set on stone platforms called ahu around the island's perimeter. Almost all moai have overly large heads three-eighths the size of the whole statue. The moai are chiefly the living faces (aringa ora) of deified ancestors (aringa ora ata tepuna).[2] The statues still gazed inland across their clan lands when Europeans first visited the island, but most were cast down during later conflicts between clans.
Description[edit] List of mythologies. This is a list of mythologies of the world, by culture and region. Mythologies by region[edit] Africa[edit] Central Africa[edit] East Africa[edit] Aztec mythology. Mictlantecuhtli (left), god of death, the lord of the Underworld and Quetzalcoatl (right), god of wisdom, life, knowledge, morning star, patron of the winds and light, the lord of the West.
Together they symbolize life and death. Fairy tale. Roman mythology. Roman mythology is the body of traditional stories pertaining to ancient Rome's legendary origins and religious system, as represented in the literature and visual arts of the Romans. "Roman mythology" may also refer to the modern study of these representations, and to the subject matter as represented in the literature and art of other cultures in any period.
The Romans usually treated their traditional narratives as historical, even when these have miraculous or supernatural elements. The stories are often concerned with politics and morality, and how an individual's personal integrity relates to his or her responsibility to the community or Roman state. Heroism is an important theme. When the stories illuminate Roman religious practices, they are more concerned with ritual, augury, and institutions than with theology or cosmogony.[1]
