Times of Swaziland: More circumcised men are HIV positive TopNews: SDHS Reveals that Circumcised Men More Likely to be HIV Carriers Reports are starting to come in that male circumcision is not working to reduce the HIV rate. A Swaziland report found the HIV infection rate for circumcised males is 22% while for those uncircumcised is 20%. The relationship between HIV prevalence and circumcision is not in the expected direction.

Say no to circumcision - support intactivism. The following list includes blogs, articles, and websites of interest to Intactivists that were published in the past week. This is a running tally of the ones I found interesting.
The news about the baby who was circumcised against his parents got lots of press this week. Baby Mario was in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) when the doctor circumcised him. This was after the parents repeatedly told the hospital staff and doctors that they did not want their son circumcised. The hospital claims it was an accidental circumcision. Read more . . .
Baby Mario was born this summer in a South Miami, Florida, hospital. Due to complications (some type of infection), baby Mario was in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for ten days. While in the hospital, Mario's mother Vera Delgado explicitly and repeatedly told the hospital staff that she did not want her son circumcised. She refused to sign the consent form for the circumcision surgery.
Despite all this, Mario was circumcised. On the eighth day of Mario's stay in the NICU and after Vera Delgado left her son's side to go home and shower, a doctor removed baby Mario from the NICU and circumcised him. Without consent. Without the parents being present. Without consideration that the infant was in the NICU and should not have to undure the stress of circumcision surgery. Read more . . .
The Local: Sweden's News in English: Boys not circumcised without medical grounds Several county and regional health authorities in Sweden continue to contravene national guidelines by refusing to perform circumcisions on boys who lack specific medical grounds for the surgery. These ethical doctors are being criticized because others think parents will go to butchers for the surgery. Too bad they are not holding the parents accountable for non-therapeutic infant circumcisions. Read more . . .

Paul had his ninetieth birthday a month ago. Four months earlier he was a vibrant old man. He walked about two miles a day with a friend. An extrovert, Paul talked to everyone that he met as he wandered. He woke up one morning complaning that his right leg was not working. It hurt when he tried straightening it, and it would not move as well as it had. Shortly after waking Paul showed the classic signs of a stroke: one side of his face went slack, he could not talk and he was slurring his words, and he was very confused. We rushed him to the hospital.
A week later he went into a rehab facility. A month and a half later he finally came home. No longer could he wander about visiting his friends. He could barely maneuver with a walker. With three hours a day of physical therapy, Paul slowly regained some of what he lost, but he was wore out from the exertion. Read more . . .

Heeeeey Mona - Tafi Atome Eco Tourism
Written by:Zoe on: June 25, 2013Who doesn't enjoy a little monkey business? The Volta Region is rich with lush deciduous rain forests and has varying climates stretching across from Lake Volta to Togo on the east and up to the arid north plains – this makes good habitat for a number of small mammals, especially monkeys – the chances are though you wont get to see them close up. I've spotted a few monkeys swinging around in the distance in Adulka and Wli Falls but if you want to get close it's worth a visit to Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary, one of a number of such sanctuary's across the different regions in Accra, and close to Mount Afadjato, Tagbo Falls at Liati-Wote and Wli Falls.
If you make an early start from Ho you can probably squeeze in a visit to all three but probably better to stay in Ho Hoi – a little sleepier and less to do but with typical Ghanaian village charm and friendliness it's a far more convenient base. The drive from Ho took us only 45 minutes along a winding mountain road.
We set out a little late at 8.30am and our drive from Ho took us only 45 minutes along a steep winding mountain road – a benefit of the roads being under development and newly gravelled. I noted a number of diggers on the way up but was confused to keep seeing signs pointing at a diversion when the road didn't fork or have any turns off for the duration – the only diversion would have been to crash down the mountain side. With the ascent came mountain mist and an Out of Africa feeling.
Tafi Atome is home to about 300 Mona Monkeys (Mona Mona) and both the sanctuary and 'Cultural Village' has won awards for its eco-tourism. According to it's poorly photocopied colour brochure the endangered True Mona Monkeys, watched over for 200 years by the chiefs and people of Tafi are believed to be sacred "an adornment to the gods and their nature." The brochure goes on to say that with the spread of Christianity in the 80s, traditional beliefs fell by the wayside and the foresting for firewood and farmland put the monkey's habitat at risk.
As well as monkeys the village offers village tours, trail walks, drum and dance lessons and the opportunity to live-in with a village family to see how local dishes are prepared and shared meal-times. Had we not had to head to Wli Falls I would have stuck around for the shared-meal experience nabbed some recipes.
Within two minutes of walking into the forest our guide withdrew a banana from his bag and started to make high pitched, lip-pursed sucking sounds that when I tried to imitate only made my lips unbearably ticklish. A few seconds later monkeys were swinging towards us in droves and we were surrounded at close quarters. With a little more lip-tickling encouragement the monkeys soon came out of the trees to feast and each of us banana in firm grip had a monkey eyeballing us – or rather eyeballing the banana, peeling it, scoffing it fairly quickly and darting away. At one point I had couple on shoulder (see video link below). My smugness was cut short when an unimpressed Mono started peeing on me from above but I left Atome feeling fairly satisfied with my monkey exchange and smelling only slightly of Mona Mona wee.
As with most tourist attractions non-Ghanaians pay a good deal extra but you can usually get a non-Ghanaian student discount at most places so bring your student id with you if you have one. It only cost 10GHC to visit Tafi Atome and the extra 1GHC for the bananas was well worth it.

maybe you should have read the post as it in fact noted the pboelrms that speaking to the foreign press before addressing Nigerians could create for Jonathan.Consequently, I think it might be unfair to suggest that there was no reaction on that point. But going further, equating this interview with Yar'Adua's BBC interview (not sure which of the 2 main ones you are referring to) would be wrong.On the 2 occasions that Yar'Adua gave an interview to the BBC they were done during key moments in the history and stability of the nation. The first was given when he was running for President and was rushed to Germany in 2007. We all know how tense election time is in Nigeria and can recall how dire things seemed when it was widely reported that he was dead. He then miraculously popped up to give an audio interview to the BBC's Hausa Service which broadcasts in Hausa and thus serves only a part of the Nigerian audience, in addition to being a foreign media outlet.His second audio 'sighting' was when again, Nigerians were worried about the state of the nation's politics due to a sick President whose absence created a dangerous political vacuum and climate. Instead of speaking to the people via the many means afforded a President, be it audio or visual, this President again opted to speak to a segment of Nigerians via a foreign media outlet.Compare that to Jonathan who was abroad, in Washington DC and allowed a foreign journalist to come and interview him during a period that is not as tense as those that preceded Yar'Adua's BBC interviews, the second of which was alleged to be a sham by a widely read and respected online publication. The only similarities between Jonathan and Yar'Adua on this matter are that they gave relevant information to the foreign press instead of discussing important matters with their constituents. But if one was to look further and take context into account, I find it hard to not see Yar'Adua's actions as a slap in the face to Nigerians that should not be tolerated. Couple with that the fact that Yar'Adua met with religious leaders but not political leaders and particularly those who have been 'elected' into office. The disrespect is rife and thus far, Jonathan's actions are yet to amount to such egregiousness. But if they ever do, I will be sure to call him out on it.Thanks for stopping by and I hope all is well with you and yours.

What've you done for me lately? That's the tousqien Nigerians should be asking of any potential candidate for the presidency. Names like Duke (Cross River State), Fashola (Lagos State)spring to mind. Their slogans could easily be: Give me four years and I'll make Nigeria like Calabar or Lagos. Nigerians want action, and a resume pointing to a tangible, visible, achievement won't hurt. For Goodluck, make the lights stay on 24/7, there is affordable, plentiful gas (petrol), affordable, plentiful basic food stuff, reduction of crime, and clean streets. Good governance is the enemy of curruption. If these things are put in place within the year, then he should be a shoo-in. Agbada-wearing, thieving old style politicians like Babangida should be laughed off the stage. It was his ilk who ushered in the currupt, descrepit mindset that perneates the Nigerian society today. The tousqien today is not "if" a Nigerian politician will steal the country's money, but "how much" he or she will steal. Sad. Unfortunately IBB stands a good chance of winning if he runs. Money talks. Unless Goodluck makes good on his word to immunize the election commisiion from curruption, nothing will change.

he wants to empower the eacessnry institutions versus the people in those institutions is a key ingredient for the success of democracy in Nigeria. Anyway, like you say, let's wait and see.Thanks so much for staring the conversation.@ webround: nice to see you. With regard to your response about speaking to the media, note I said "speak[] to the Nigerian people". I specifically termed the sentence that way partly because of the very valid concerns you raise. I do not believe that Jonathan needs to speak to Nigerians via local media, though that would of course be nice. The federal government has access to radio and television airwaves which could be used to give a short (or long) speech/talk about what main objectives he hopes to achieve.I simply believe that Nigerian leaders must start to speak to the people, instead of forcing Nigerians to get pertinent news about their country from the foreign press. Obviously, the local press needs to step up. Your example of the Punch headline is damning.Anyway, how are things? As I confessed, I was happy to see how well Jonathan did in the interview and of course happy to hear him express some of his goals for the administration. It is not easy being under the spotlight and I wish him the best of luck for Nigeria's sake.

Hi Solomonsydelle,The way you describe it, what Nigeria has is a Democracy in Form, not Substance. And no matetr what number of years pass by, it will never catch up for as long as the substance is restricted by the form.You are wishing for an Obama, a savior who inspires and innovates? Under the present set up, before he even gets to that point of being a contender, he would have already been tarnished and jaded in the process of getting there – by a system operated with unbridled corruption and oriented towards narrow self-interest.Carrington is not being very truthful. The political party bosses determine who should be their candidate, and work in the background throughout the primaries, influencing the party base whom to support. The elected President can exercise some independence in minor instances, but in reality, all critical decisions are referred to the National Security Council, the real governing body of America. Any President who deviates or defies is eliminated – either through assassination, or removal through resignation, or prevented from getting a second term. Look closely at their political history. The military/industrial complex that Eisenhower warned about is well placed and deeply entrenched. These are the makers of politicians and military men who supply the armaments, chemicals, medicines, food, and energy… globally, and who pursue their interests through American Foreign Policy that protects "American" (read: industrialists) interest under the guise of freedom and all the noble Democratic ideals.That's why I fear for our idol, because if Obama wins and he reverts to his original direction, he may be assassinated.Going back to Nigeria, it is up to Nigerians to be militant to change their political, social, cultural and economic status so that an "Obama" can emerge stain free. It cannot be done by armchair patriots nor wishful thinking alone, but by involvement and participation. It cannot be done by one person, but by an entire nation who are determined to create a just and humane society. It cannot come overnight under a pleasant moon and joyful camaraderie, but by a tedious process that invokes and applies all that is noble and altruistic under a period of sacrifice.If and when the Nigerian "Obama" comes and succeeds in taking the reins of power, he has to be assisted and supported, even guided – by the same people and those that they have inculcated such values with – who paved the way for him to get there. He should know he owes the nation to serve them well.Nigerians have the intellect, the vision, and the desire to create such a nation under such a democracy. What Nigerians have to enhance is courage and bravery. Courage is an emotion, bravery its application. These go hand in hand.Parodying the line in the movie "Field of Dreams"… If you build it, he will come! 🙂 –Durano, done!

LAKELAND, Tenn. (AP) — Two sheriff's deputies who fatally shot a woman Friday in a Tennessee residential neighborhood thought she pointed a real handgun at them when they opened fire, but it turned out to be a BB gun, authorities said.
Nancy Jane Lewellyn died after being shot by Shelby County Sheriff's Office deputies in a subdivision in Lakeland, just east of Memphis, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokesman Josh DeVine said.
It was the second fatal shooting involving law enforcement in two days in western Tennessee. The bureau says a 36-year-old Louisiana man was killed after he allegedly tried to strike deputies with his vehicle in Crockett County on Thursday. The bureau, which acts as Tennessee's state police agency, is investigating both shootings.
DeVine said Lewellyn had called 911 Friday, making disturbing statements and threatening violence toward anyone who came to her house.
Three deputies responded, and Lewellyn exited her house when they arrived, DeVine said. She then took out what appeared to be a real handgun and pointed it at the deputies, he said. Two of them opened fire, killing her.
It was determined after the shooting that Lewellyn was holding a BB gun, DeVine said. The BB gun looked "an awful lot" like a real gun, he said.
"It was presumably very easy for these deputies to think that this was a more dangerous situation than a BB gun," DeVine said.
It is not immediately clear if Lewellyn had mental issues, DeVine said.
John Rumsey, who lives two houses away from where Lewellyn was shot, was unable to get home Friday afternoon while deputies blocked the street leading to his house. He was eventually allowed through.
"It's just a really bad scene," Rumsey said. "It's usually very calm around here."
The two deputies involved in the shooting have been relieved of duty with pay pending the bureau's investigation, but they are not being identified at this point, sheriff's spokesman Earle Farrell said. The races of Lewellyn and the deputies were not released.
Once the investigation is done, the bureau will hand over its file to Shelby County district attorney Amy Weirich, who will decide whether to pursue charges.
DeVine said the bureau currently has 1,800 open criminal investigations, with only 59 agents in the bureau's field investigations unit.
"You better believe that the number of incidents, and the types of investigations that we have, certainly puts a strain resources, but this is the job," DeVine said.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Two recent events underscore Google's goal to profit from alternative lending.
Google Ventures, the $300 million venture capital fund designated specifically for investments in start-ups, led a $17 million expanded Series D financing round for On Deck Capital, a six-year-old online small-business lender that's growing rapidly.
Tech venture capitalist Peter Thiel, co-founder of eBay's PayPal and VC firm Industry Ventures, also participated in the expanded round, On Deck noted in a May 1 release.
Then, Internet search giant Google took a minority stake by investing $125 million in peer-to-peer lender, Lending Club. Google's investment was part of a secondary transaction in which the company acquired shares from existing investors, Lending Club announced in a May 2 release.
"Lending Club is using the Internet to reshape the financial system and profoundly transform the way people think of credit and investment," Google's vice president for corporate development David Lawee said in the release.
While spokeswomen from both Google units say the two operate as separate entities (even though Google is the sole limited partner in Google Ventures), it can't be a coincidence that both are eyeing investment opportunity in the alternative lending space. As traditional capital remains tough to come by, even with somewhat improved bank credit, alternative lenders such as On Deck and Lending Club are to be reckoned with.
A large part of the Google AdWords business comes from small businesses, so it's in the company's interests to see small businesses grow and expand.
The alternative lending market, which includes credit cards and receivables financing, hovers around $1 billion vs. SBA bank lending at about $35 billion.
Rohit Arora, CEO of Biz2Credit.com, an online marketplace connecting small- and medium-sized businesses with lenders and other tools and resources, says, however, that as more banks start lending to small businesses again, higher credit-quality businesses will have more choices, meaning alternative lending to those businesses is likely to decline.
"There is still a gap for loans for businesses less than 2 years old and those looking for loan amounts up to $25,000, and this might be the gap that Google is focusing on," Arora says.
Google also could see an opportunity to help its own small merchants with a product aimed at financing AdWords purchases as well as looking to develop new credit offerings for Google Wallet customers through Lending Club, he says.
Still, if Google wanted to bet on alternative lending winners, these two companies have both been linked to potential IPOs.
Lending Club has publicly stated it is working toward an initial public offering in 2014.
"We reached profitability in Q1 2013, and right now we're focused on scaling the company, Lending Club CEO Renaud Laplanche said in a statement. "We expect that we'll be ready for an IPO sometime in 2014, but the actual timing will depend on market conditions,"
Lending Club has issued more than $1.65 billion in loans since 2007, including more than $350 million in the last quarter through peer-to-peer lending, which facilitates personal loans to borrowers of up to $35,000 in three- or five-year terms from qualified retail and institutional investors.
Small businesses have been increasingly using alternative forms of lending such as peer-to-peer lending when more traditional financing has been tough to get. The company also plans to expand into small-business lending later this year.
On Deck CEO Noah Breslow said in an interview in February that while there wasn't pressure to go public this year, it could be an option in the next two to three years.
The fast-growing small-business lender has funded more than $450 million in loans to Main Street businesses through its technology-led loan platform.
Yet, given that Google Ventures is involved now, combined with the fact that On Deck keeps adding more investors to its list, and lending by the firm continues to rise -- even as traditional lenders dip their toe into small-business lending again -- it's feasible that time frame could be stepped up.
Breslow wasn't available for comment.
"On Deck has found an efficient way to connect millions of small businesses around the country with the working capital they need to grow their companies," Karim Faris, general partner at Google Ventures, said in a statement. "We invested in On Deck because we believe in the team's game-changing vision, strong talent and disruptive technology.
"The resiliency of our economy heavily relies on a healthy financing environment for small business owners who are very focused on building their enterprise, and alternatives for getting financing are limited and very cumbersome. OnDeck aims to make this process fast and as lightweight as possible, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on creating and selling their products and services," Farris said in a follow-up statement to TheStreet.
The Google Venture investment brings On Deck's Series D financing to a total of $59 million. The company announced in February that it had raised $42 million in a round led by Institutional Venture Partners. On Deck had previously secured a credit facility from Goldman Sachs and Fortress Investment Group in August 2012.
Google Ventures, formed in 2009, has 160 companies in its portfolio. It says it's mission is to provide "seed, venture and growth stage funding to the most innovative and promising entrepreneurs across a variety of stages."
The fund has sold a number of its portfolio companies, including acquisitions by Facebook , Yahoo! , AOL and even, Google.
It's also had a few successful IPOs, including HomeAway and Silver Spring Networks .
A Google Ventures spokeswoman said that the fund is not a "typical corporate strategic fund," meaning that it invests for financial return as opposed to funneling ideas and companies up to the parent company.
Still it's got to be a strong vote of confidence for both of these companies and for the alternative lending space in general that Google is now behind them.

Share another experience before you go.Save your money! Overpriced & it nothing special. My kids can do better! Food & management are suffering greatly. Better off going to big daddys on old national
Decided to try this place as it was right across the street from my hotel. I went there for lunch not really knowing what to expect. I had the pulled pork on toast with the spicy BBQ sauce. The side item I had was the collard greens and mac-n-cheese. The food was amazing the service was friendly. Could not have... More
Everything was good. Cornbread was dry taste was old Needs updating tables and chairs they look pretty beat up. BBQ was really good. I went because a friend recommended I would eat here again
Being from the New Hampshire, real, authentic BBQ is not the standard here. This restaurant came highly recommended from our hotel staff nearby. We arrived at This is It and found it quite busy. There was a large amount of choices for different dinners and side dishes. My wife and I each ordered different dinners. HUGE portions! Reasonably priced. The... More
Having listened to their ads on the radio for several months, I thought that they were just another restaurant. So I really didn't believe the hype. But, I'm here to tell you, that this is one of the absolute best restaurants I have ever visited. From the time that you are welcomed at the door to the efficient staff to... More
I really enjoyed eating @ This Is It. I had ribs collards and Mac and cheese. Everything was delicious. Also had a slice if cake that was tasty as well. I look forward to eating at this restaurant again real soon.
We were in Atlanta for a family reunion in May 2013. Everyone recommended THIS IS IT as the soul food place to try. When we arrived at the establishment located near the airport, the line went right out the door. We ordered bbq spareribs, macaroni & cheese, fried chicken wings, potato salad, cole slaw, sweet potato soufflé, collard greens, pineapple... More
The food was,great the people were nice When I come back I will go back the price is great Everboby need to come there
The name says it all! The food here was fabulous and abundant! My friend had pork chops and even though he is a big eater, he could not finish this portion. I had a chopped chicken sandwich - probably the best I have ever tasted. The baked beans were also exceptionally good and had a generous helping of meat and... More
They harp on "the rib tips" however, the quality on Camp Creek Pkwy is average, and the quality of all the food in Decatur is sub par. I must admit they have a very food Spinach casserole, however, EVERYTHING is over priced. Sincerely.

Web Based Twitter Clients – Which Is Right For You?
- 20
With all the news about Chrome OS, netbooks, and the move to the cloud that seems to be going on all around us, desktop applications are beginning to feel passe.
That said, without TweetDeck what would you do? If you had only a browser and a hookup to the tubes, what would you use to tweet?
"We're hunting for awesome startups"
Run an early-stage company? We're inviting 250 to exhibit at TNW Conference and pitch on stage!
Take heart, TNW has done the work for you. Below, the best web-based Twitter clients.
Seesmic is the everywhere Twitter client. Mobile? It's got that. Air application? Has that too. Often overlooked, is that Seesmic also has a killer web application for Twitter. No download needed.
Of course, you can login with Twitter, if you fear password theft, and then the delights begin. You are started off with a standard incoming tweets, and @ mention columns, and can with single clicks add in a stream of your updates (something that I love, given that I tweet a bit, I need to see what people are responding too), and your favorites.
Seesmic web also integrates lists, letting you open a new column for each list that you follow. I heartily recommend this list, if you get the time.
Seesmic also tracks trending topics, and with a single click you can add search columns for each trend. Seesmic is fast, accurate, full featured, and well designed. Even for the hardened TweetDeck user, such as myself, Seesmic web impresses.
Brizzly takes a radical approach to Twitter: one column. If you have become used to using a number of columns to keep things straight, get over it. Brizzly does a number of things very well, including treating DM's like conversations, and automatically making images viewable, right in your stream.
If you were, or perhaps still are (there are 7), a heavy FriendFeed users, Brizzly is for you. It mimics a number of familiar FriendFeed elements, making the switch very simple.
Brizzly recently became open for general use, after an extensive beta period. It is growing like a weed, for a reason.
CoTweet is the industrial strength Twitter application, for the dead serious user. If you are managing a brand, or corporate account, CoTweet is for you.
Built into every tweet, the ability to change the time of posting. The ability to assign updates to account managers? It does that. Multiple accounts? Of course.
CoTweet is built for the corporation, and it shows. Can you use it a personal client? Sure. It is not designed for endless updating, you have to click "Post An Update" just to get a place to tweet. But, if you are mostly a listener or trend watcher, CoTweet can be very powerful.
If you are running a high volume corporate account with several managers, CoTweet is a godsend. For the average Twitter user, it is too much built for something else.
HootSuite, which is tied to the ow.ly shortener, is packed with powerful, simple to understand features. It integrates lists, Facebook, LinkedIn, multiple columns, tabbed groups of columns, tweet delaying, and built-in analytics if you are an ow.ly user.
HootSuite also has the "Hootlet," which is a browser bookmarklet, which for the avid sharer will be a god-send. HootSuite also manages multiple accounts simply, and has a system (something akin to CoTweet), allowing different users to interact over various accounts. I have not tested this.
HootSuite is a top contender for me, if I was to move to the browser full-time.
TweetVisor is something of a lovely disaster. Do you know the effect of watching your slice of apple pie ooze into a blob with ice cream on top? Still tastes lovely. That is TweetVisor, the little app that could.
TweetVisor is a multi-column application that has a boatload of capabilities. Lists, saved searches, favorites, trending topic management, even the ability to create lists inside of TweetVisor.
All that and you get to pick what the application looks like, myself opting for the familiar TweetDeck feeling "Deck" theme. Tweetvisor also keeps a running tab of your follower/following and update counts at the top of the application, letting you track your success in, well, real-time.
TweetVisor does not feel as polished as the other applications, but it gets the job done in a major way. Some people are going to love it.
The Linux of Twitter apps. You start with, well, nothing, and build "channels" for the incoming streams that you want. If you are tired of catered solutions, this might be for you. Updating requires opening a box, making power-tweeting difficult. If you built your last computer and are running Ubuntu, this might be just the thing for you.
An incomplete version of Twitter, that lacks the standard features that we are all accustomed to. Twitter.com only has three things going for it: access to full following/followers lists, the horrible new retweet function, and the ability to leave it be.

By Vanessa Eisch
"Okay, I can do this," I thought as I walked into the hospital room.
"Hello, my name is Vanessa. I'm going to be your occupational therapist today," I said.
"What's an occupational therapist?" my patient asked.
I froze. I'd practiced explaining what I now do for a living a thousand times in my head, but I still wasn't sure how to get the words out smoothly.
"How do you walk in and explain what OT is? My students say they struggled with this the longest," says Debbie Bebeau, an occupational therapy clinical instructor at UW–Madison.
As one of Bebeau's former students and a newly practicing occupational therapist, I can attest to how terrifying it is to walk into a patient's room to conduct an initial evaluation.
"We always talk about what should be in your evaluation, but how do you have that conversation with real people?" Bebeau says.
Bebeau directly addressed this fear and intimidation when she designed her project for the Engage Adaptation Situated Learning: Case, Story and Place Award.
Technology consultants Blaire Bundy and Al Barnicle, as well as Engage project assistant Jonghun Kim, helped Bebeau create a virtual case study using the Case Scenario Builder authoring tool.
Using video, the virtual case study takes occupational therapy students step by step through an evaluation of a real patient who suffered a spinal cord injury.
Students must review a patient chart, choose appropriate assessments and medical equipment, and quickly problem solve when the patient shows signs of experiencing a medical emergency — all skills needed not only in the real world, but also to pass the national board exam and receive a license to practice.
"It's a way to train OTs in a virtual context," Bebeau explains. "There's a lot of research out there that students learn best in a real context. We saw this as a way of bridging between didactic coursework and fieldwork to put the student in a context virtually that would simulate fieldwork."
This blended learning model was further enhanced when the patient who appears in the video joined students for a lab discussion to go over decision-making during the case study.
Bebeau says the OT Department's ultimate goal is to thread a virtual case study through several courses showing students the big picture of how disability can affect multiple generations within a family.
For now, she's focused on investigating how blended learning affects student learning.
"The research that's gone into how much better people perform when they learn in context spoke to me. Am I teaching my students in context? Here's a way to virtually do it," she says enthusiastically.
Bebeau will pilot the virtual case study during the 2013 fall semester with second-year OT students.
As for me, while I'm slowly improving my OT speech to patients, I take heart that Bebeau's project will help future UW OTs have even more confidence when they first walk into that hospital room.

The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide
Sad to say, it is possible to write buggy programs using Ruby. Sorry about that.
But not to worry! Ruby has several features that will help debug your programs. We'll look at these features, and then we'll show some common mistakes you can make in Ruby and how to fix them.
Ruby comes with a debugger, which is conveniently built into the base system. You can run the debugger by invoking the interpreter with the -r debug option, along with any other Ruby options and the name of your script:
ruby -r debug [ options ] [ programfile ] [ arguments ]
The debugger supports the usual range of features you'd expect, including the ability to set breakpoints, to step into and step over method calls, and to display stack frames and variables.
It can also list the instance methods defined for a particular object or class, and allows you to list and control separate threads within Ruby. Table 12.1 on page 131 lists all of the commands that are available under the debugger.
If your Ruby has readline support enabled, you can use cursor keys to move back and forth in command history and use line editing commands to amend previous input.
To give you an idea of what the Ruby debugger is like, here is a sample session.
% ruby -rdebug t.rb Debug.rb Emacs support available. t.rb:1:def fact(n) (rdb:1) list 1-9 [1, 10] in t.rb => 1 def fact(n) 2 if n <= 0 3 1 4 else 5 n * fact(n-1) 6 end 7 end 8 9 p fact(5) (rdb:1) b 2 Set breakpoint 1 at t.rb:2 (rdb:1) c breakpoint 1, fact at t.rb:2 t.rb:2: if n <= 0 (rdb:1) disp n 1: n = 5 (rdb:1) del 1 (rdb:1) watch n==1 Set watchpoint 2 (rdb:1) c watchpoint 2, fact at t.rb:fact t.rb:1:def fact(n) 1: n = 1 (rdb:1) where --> #1 t.rb:1:in `fact' #2 t.rb:5:in `fact' #3 t.rb:5:in `fact' #4 t.rb:5:in `fact' #5 t.rb:5:in `fact' #6 t.rb:9 (rdb:1) del 2 (rdb:1) c 120
If you want to play with Ruby, there is a facility called Interactive Ruby---irb, for short. irb is essentially a Ruby ``shell'' similar in concept to an operating system shell (complete with job control). It provides an environment where you can ``play around'' with the language in real time. You launch irb at the command prompt:
irb [ irb-options ] [ ruby_script ] [ options ]
irb will display the value of each expression as you complete it. For instance:
% irb irb(main):001:0> a = 1 + irb(main):002:0* 2 * 3 / irb(main):003:0* 4 % 5 2 irb(main):004:0> 2+2 4 irb(main):005:0> def test irb(main):006:1> puts "Hello, world!" irb(main):007:1> end nil irb(main):008:0> test Hello, world! nil irb(main):009:0>
irb also allows you to create subsessions, each one of which may have its own context. For example, you can create a subsession with the same (top-level) context as the original session, or create a subsession in the context of a particular class or instance. The sample session shown in Figure 12.1 on page 126 is a bit longer, but shows how you can create subsessions and switch between them.
For a full description of all the commands that irb supports, see the reference beginning on page 517.
As with the debugger, if your version of Ruby was built with GNU Readline support, you can use arrow keys (as with Emacs) or vi-style key bindings to edit individual lines or to go back and reexecute or edit a previous line---just like a command shell.
irb is a great learning tool: it's very handy if you want to try out an idea quickly and see if it works.
Ruby is designed to read a program in one pass; this means you can pipe an entire program to Ruby's standard input and it will work just fine.
We can take advantage of this feature to run Ruby code from inside an editor. In Emacs, for instance, you can select a region of Ruby text and use the command Meta-| to execute Ruby. The Ruby interpreter will use the selected region as standard input and output will go to a buffer named ``*Shell Command Output*.'' This feature has come in quite handy for us while writing this book---just select a few lines of Ruby in the middle of a paragraph and try it out!
You can do something similar in the vi editor using ``:!ruby'' which replaces the program text with its output, or ``:w!ruby'', which displays the output without affecting the buffer. Other editors have similar features.
While we are on the subject, this would probably be a good place to mention that there is a Ruby mode for Emacs included in the distribution as misc/ruby-mode.el. There are also several syntax-highlighting modules for vim (an enhanced version of the vi editor), jed, and other editors available on the net as well. Check the Ruby FAQ for current locations and availability.
So you've read through enough of the book, you start to write your very own Ruby program, and it doesn't work. Here's a list of common gotchas and other tips.
while gets num1, num2 = split /,/ # ... end
There's one major technique that makes writing Ruby code both easier and more fun. Develop your applications incrementally. Write a few lines of code, then run them. Write a few more, then run those. One of the major benefits of an untyped language is that things don't have to be complete before you use them.
Ruby is an interpreted, high-level language, and as such it may not perform as fast as a lower-level language such as C. In this section, we'll list some basic things you can do to improve performance; also have a look in the index under Performance for other pointers.
Try defining the variables used in a block before the block executes. When iterating over a very large set of elements, you can improve execution speed somewhat by predeclaring any iterator variables. In the first example below, Ruby has to create new x and y variables on each iteration, but in the second version it doesn't. We'll use the benchmark package from the Ruby Application Archive to compare the loops:
require "benchmark" include Benchmark n = 1000000 bm(12) do |test| test.report("normal:") do n.times do |x| y = x + 1 end end test.report("predefine:") do x = y = 0 n.times do |x| y = x + 1 end end end
user system total real normal: 2.450000 0.020000 2.470000 ( 2.468109) predefine: 2.140000 0.020000 2.160000 ( 2.155307)
Ruby comes with a code profiler (documentation begins on on page 454). In and of itself, that isn't too surprising, but when you realize that the profiler is written in just about 50 lines of Ruby, that makes for a pretty impressive language.
You can add profiling to your code using the command-line option -r profile, or from within the code using require "profile". For example:
require "profile" class Peter def initialize(amt) @value = amt end def rob(amt) @value -= amt amt end end class Paul def initialize @value = 0 end def pay(amt) @value += amt amt end end peter = Peter.new(1000) paul = Paul.new 1000.times do paul.pay(peter.rob(10)) end
Run this, and you'll get something like the following.
time seconds seconds calls ms/call ms/call name 32.14 0.27 0.27 1 270.00 840.00 Fixnum#times 30.95 0.53 0.26 1000 0.26 0.27 Paul#pay 29.76 0.78 0.25 1000 0.25 0.30 Peter#rob 5.95 0.83 0.05 1000 0.05 0.05 Fixnum#- 1.19 0.84 0.01 1000 0.01 0.01 Fixnum#+ 0.00 0.84 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 Paul#initialize 0.00 0.84 0.00 2 0.00 0.00 Class#inherited 0.00 0.84 0.00 4 0.00 0.00 Module#method_added 0.00 0.84 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 Peter#initialize 0.00 0.84 0.00 1 0.00 840.00 #toplevel 0.00 0.84 0.00 2 0.00 0.00 Class#new
With the profiler, you can quickly identify and fix bottlenecks. Remember to check the code without the profiler afterward, though---sometimes the slowdown the profiler introduces can mask other problems.
Ruby is a wonderfully transparent and expressive language, but it does not relieve the programmer of the need to apply common sense: creating unnecessary objects, performing unneeded work, and creating generally bloated code are wasteful in any language.

Spring's lighter, greener dishes are on the way, so now is the perfect time to get in the last hearty tastes of winter. This Napoli pasta dish marries loose sausage meat cooked in red wine with chile, garlic and cavoli, Italian for the Brassica family of cabbages.
I opted for cauliflower, but instead of boiling it as instructed, I roasted it. I paired it with imported torchietti, a bell-shaped noodle that was perfect for grabbing up little bits of sausage and caramelized vegetable.
3 tbsp. kosher salt
1 cauliflower (about 3 lbs.), trimmed and cut into florets, or the same amount of broccoli or broccoli rabe
6 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 small piece very hot dried chile or 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
7 oz. finely ground unseasoned bulk sausage
½ cup dry, full-bodied red wine
1 lb. orecchiette, fusilli or penne
Grated pecorino
Bring 5 quarts water to boil over high heat. Add salt, then vegetables, and boil until just tender. Remove with a slotted spoon. Reserve cooking water in the pot for boiling the pasta later. (I used cauliflower, but roasted it with a little olive oil in a 450-degree oven for 30 minutes instead of boiling it.)
Put oil, garlic and piece of chile (but not pepper flakes) in a large, deep skillet that will hold all the pasta later. Saute for a few minutes, just until garlic is golden and chile has darkened, then discard garlic and chile. Crumble sausage meat into skillet. Brown evenly, stirring, for about 5 minutes.
Raise heat and add wine. Let it bubble until smell of alcohol has disappeared, about 2 minutes. Stir often to keep meat from sticking. (The sausage will look purple from the wine, but not to worry.) Add cooked vegetables and mix well. If you are using pepper flakes instead of a single piece of chile, add them now.
Bring vegetable water back to boil and cook pasta until al dente.
After pasta is half done, add a little of its cooking water to sauce and let it absorb.
When pasta is al dente, transfer it, dripping wet, with a handheld colander or spider strainer to skillet. Mix well over low heat for just half a minute.
Mix in cheese and serve immediately.
Serves 6.

Well, to begin with, for those of you who don't know, Daevid Allen was a member of both Soft Machine and Gong. He practically invented Gong and its "affiliates", if you will, sometimes working with his wife/partner Gilli Smyth, who is often credited with delivering a "space whisper" into the mix, other times working with a certain Japanese space-rock outfit called Acid Mothers Temple (Acid Mothers Gong). He has also dubbed him/them Planet Gong on Earth. This, his University of Errors, is then yet another "side project" of sorts. Allen still records/performs with Gong members past and present, most recently with the above-mentioned Acid Mothers Gong.

Nobody likes Monday.
This week, the "super committee" really doesn't like Monday.
With three days left to come up with $1.2 trillion in budget cuts, the week will start with the failure to reach a deal.
Wait, that's not quite right... The week will start with the failure to do much of anything.
A formal announcement is expected tomorrow. Barring any last minute theatrics (though, let's not count that out), the announcement will be that there's no deal. A plan needed to be in place by Monday in order to make a vote on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, most of the "super committee" is likely icing their hands tonight after a full day of finger pointing. Somehow, absolutely everyone else is to blame for the lack of movement on the budget in the last week the last month the last year recent memory including folks that aren't even in Congress. Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), while remaining hopeful, singled out Grover Norquist, the controversial head of Americans for Tax Reform for holding Congress hostage with a pledge not to raise taxes (Norquist was featured on tonight's episode of "60 Minutes" on this very issue).
Assuming that we don't have Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) leaping over the podium at the last minute screaming, "We have a plan!", the end result will be a sequester, or predetermined set of cuts, evenly divided between defense and non-defense spending. It will be (insert dramatic flair here) very nearly the.end.of.the.world.
But here's the beauty part (lowers voice to a whisper): this is a fake deadline.
Yep. Totally fake: Congress made up the deadline in the first place. If they want, they can repeal it or amend it. And there's some talk that they may do just that. It would solve all of their problems. Assuming, of course, that Congress actually thinks that the deadline is the biggest problem they have... there's still that little matter of the huge debt ceiling, our deficit and a projected $1.2 trillion shortfall. But they've got plenty of time to worry about that, right?

SummitQueen | Route Climbed: Monitor Ridge Date Climbed: Mid-July 2003 | |
Got up early morning with dad to start climb. Great weather, practically no clouds in the sky at the trailhead. Nice easy trail for a couple of miles in the trees. Got above the treeline, big boulder fields. That was interesting hiking up them. Lasted another mile or so. Then came the pumus and scree slopes, fun stuff. Reached the summit in the early afternoon. Great photo opportunities. You could see Mt. Adams to the east, Mt. Rainier to the north, and Mt. Hood to the south. The crater was fantastic to look at, bits of steam coming up. My first volcano climb. | ||

Well, we both kinda knew it would be doubtful we'd hit the summit. My friend Isaac was in town from MN to try to climb something like Baker or Rainier but with the storms and recent snow dumps, we decided to try something tamer with crevasseless non-avalanchey terrain. Only about 20 others on the mountain this day as it was raining for the first 1000 feet or so. Then wet snow, then about 5500-6000 feet, it was full-on ice-pellets-in-the-face, high winds, postholing fun. And there are 3 more days of summer left! About 7500 feet at the last post, I had already placed several wands between posts due to crappy visibility. Visibility went to maybe 40 feet or so and the winds were maybe 50 mph. Was starting to get turned around in the swirling snow so we decided to head back down. Slowly we inched our way down weaving back and forth to try to find the posts. Was lucky to find all my wands in the mess and we headed back down and on to Jack's for some hot food. So, I am only 1 for 3 on this volcano and still never had any decent views. Maybe I'll hit this one again on a nice weekend once the permits are done for the year. Still had a good time though since we were out on a mountain. | ||

This was a great day for climbing - there was a strong temperature inversion and while it was 45 degrees at my house in Vancouver, it was 65 degrees at the trailhead when I arrived just before sunrise. Got to the summit in an hour 45 minutes and was treated to incredible views. I've climbed St. Helens about a dozen times since this first summit and it's always an awe inspiring trip. | ||

Amazing day on the volcano. Clear as a bell. Awe inspiring views of Rainier, Baker, Hood, and Jefferson. Thought I would cruise this "easy" Cascades peak, and did travel fast (3&1/2 hrs. to the summit), but don't be fooled as I did-it's a big hike. Non-technical, but big for a southwesterner such as myself. Interesting from a geological standpoint as well. | ||

This is a fun Hike & climb up a Cascade peak. We started at 5:30am to beat the heat and most of the other hiker's. A nice warm up for 2 miles before you hit the Ridge. Then its up and up to the crater rim and the Summit on the Left. Great views of Rainier, Adams and Hood. | ||

Started climb in mist along Monitor Ridge, beautiful start, nice views. Weather began to really decline at last 600 feet. 30-40 mph winds with sleet at summit, and we were facing into the wind on descent. Not exactly a nice summer climb, but a good clothing/gear shakedown to figure out what was waterproof and what was decidedly NOT. | ||

Erik Zadow | Route Climbed: Monitor Ridge Date Climbed: July 28, 2004 | |
Snow-free all the way. Summitted in a little under 3 hours. Was a little suprised at the extent of the boulder scrambles, (not difficult,) that comprised the middle 2000 feet or so of this route. I'd been putting off getting the permit and going up high here for years, and wasn't disappointed. Quite the contrary, this is a very fun, direct, fairly easy route with spectacular views, and I doubt the quota of 100 people was present today. A lot of smoke which unfortuately blocked out Rainier. But the changing topography and views make it a great climb, and if you've never seen the crater from the top, you are missing out the greatest view of a mind-boggling spectacle. Wow! | ||

Started at 5:45AM at trailhead to beat the heat. No snow at the trailhead. We could have avoided snow all the way to the top, but chose to climb up a couple sections since it was easier than the rocks. Hit the crater rim at about 9:15 and the weather was still nice, we had managed to stay in the shade most of the morning. It didn't start heating up until we had began our descent. By the time we got back to the car it was easily in the 90s. Really nice hike, lots of pumice and great views from the top. | ||

Have climbed it twice. The first time was in the summer of 2002. Was a hot, dusty, overcrowded slog up monitor ridge with the only reward at the top. St. Helens has probably got the best view of any Mt I have been on. Raineir, Adams, and Hood are looming seemingly an arm reach away and the blown out crater is absolutely amazing. But I vowed to never do it again in the summer. The second climb was in March of 2004 in the middle of the week. We had perfect weather. We had 3-4 full sun days prior to our climb and full sun both days of the climb. We started at 2200 feet from the gate and snowshoed into timberline up the Swift Creek Drainage. Set up a snow camp and slept like babies until a 6 am awakening and frozen path up the beautifully blanketed slopes. The summit was almost too warm and beautiful to believe with only 2 other parties seen all the time. Will do it again and am looking forward to it. | ||

This was my first summit attempt with my best friend and was an amazing trip which inspired a pact to keep climbing. From the begining of our day, where a line of lights tripped up the mountain in front of us, to the blazing hot trip down, it was gorgeous. But the view from the top, looking down into the side of the mountain was unlike anything I have seen before or since. Lesson learned? Gaiters; there not just for snow any more. Boy did I wish I had a pair as I dug ash and pummice out of my shoes! | ||

We had thunder and lightning the night before but it cleared by 8pm. My buddy and I hit the the trail by 4am and had clear skies with a very small bit of wind for the whole trip up. The ridges were all exposed and crampons were nice to have (especially earlier in the am) but were not necessary. We summited by 9:30am with about twenty others and spent about half an hour there looking around. Glissaded down... the best!... and returned to the car by 11:30am to watch another system of thunder and lightning roll in. Great times! | ||

Started out at 4:00am from Marble Mountain Snow Park. I had my snowboard and was looking forward to a good ride down. Snow pretty much started from the trailhead. Snow was very firm early on and once above treeline, we cramponed up. Made easy going until about 500 vertical feet from the summit when we got steady wind of about 35-40 mph. We pushed on and when we reached the summit, the wind had died down. We made the summit in 5hr 20 min. Beautiful day and we could see as far as Mt. Jefferson to the south. The sun was warming up the slopes pretty fast and I had a blast going down. | ||

I left the Marble Mountain Sno-Park around 12:30 and summited at 6:50AM. The top was pretty windy, so i didn't stick around as long as I normally would, but I did see yet another beautiful sunrise with the summit to myself. I had to wait a little longer than anticipated for the snow to soften up for glissading, which made for some pretty slow going at first, but once it warmed up I had a nice glissade down. I saw 10 people and 1 dog going up as I was going down. Not dealing with the huge crowds on the Monitor Ridge route later in the season made the added work of this route well worth doing. | ||

Really cool article that features some of our opponents' anonymous responses to questions about Michigan's defense. They're very homogenous/consistent responses. An interesting read for those with Rivals subscriptions.

The Big Ten Announces Preseason Players To Watch
In your opinion - is there any other Michigan player that should be on this list?
(I think the final line in this brief article sums it up best: "Of course, these preseason lists are 100 percent accurate and should be taken as absolute truth. That's why July is the best college football month out of the year.")
Grantland Article On DG
Worth reading because of the second section.
Mouths of babes. Gardner displayed keen situational awareness at a road game at Purdue early in his career: "Me and Jeremy Gallon, neither of us were playing. We were standing on the bench, just chilling out, watching the game, and I hear 'DEVIN! DEVIN!,' you know, from the opposing crowd, and I'm like, 'Nah, I'm not turning around.' And then they go, 'GALLON! GALLON! IT'S FOR MY DAUGHTER!,' and I'm like, 'Don't turn around. Don't turn around. Promise.' Jeremy says, 'I ain't gonna turn around.' So I walk away for a second, and then I hear, 'YOU'RE A GALLON OF … SHHHHH' and I was like" — he sighs here, shaking his head and laughing — "Gallon turned around.
"And ever since then I loved playing there, because that was hilarious. I said to Gallon, 'I TOLD YOU.' He doesn't even turn around at home games now. He kinda got scarred after that."
• It turns out you can't just demand high-profile public figures to hand over their contact information. "People ask me for my number all the time on Twitter. Sometimes I'll give 'em a fake number. Like a 555 movie number. One guy got so mad at me, like, 'I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GAVE ME A FAKE NUMBER,' and I was like, 'You should know! It says 555! No number in the world starts with 555! You really tried to call that?'"
• Just imagine how much more forcefully he can hurl his phone at a wall than could your average blogger. A Michigan Man strives for excellence in all things, even if that thing is 4 Pics 1 Word. "I actually had to ask Twitter for help yesterday. I don't know how good I am. I mean, I'm decent. But you don't want to seem like you're not that smart. It's like, I graduated from Michigan, I feel like I should be able to do this."
Chicago AAUM Football Preview Recap
Last night was the AAUM Chicago Football Preview event at which Brian, Sam Webb, and Coach DiNardo spoke.
The event was hosted by law firm Jenner & Block on the 45th floor of 353 N Clark in Chicago, the views were amazing and Brian made this Chicagoan happy by enjoying a local beer, Goose Island 312.
Sam Webb spoke first regarding the freshmen that he expects to make impacts this year. If you frequent MGoBlog there weren't many surprises, but Sam does have good relationships with the coaches and he said we should expect to see a lot of Dymonte in the nickel this year, especially with Jake Ryan out. Dymonte is a capable and willing blitzer, and is definitely a new toy for Mattison to play with. The other impact freshmen were familiar names: Jake Butt (if he can block) Patrick Kuegler (Depending on his shoulder injury/OL performance), and Sam made a good point that by the middle of fall camp we'll know if Derrick Green is going to be the #1 guy. RB reps should shake out a winner. Also, Sam is under the impression that Shane Morris should/will have to play this year. Both for his own and the team's benefit when it comes to the future.
Brian had the podium next and he went through a powerpoint (that he claimed to try to make "serious" and "lawerly" but it did have a cat picture) discussing the 3 X-factors for Michigan's year. Again, nothing too shocking for regular readers, but the new faces on the OL (Brian said that last year's was quite bad, as evidenced by the non-Denard running game, or lack there of), the pass rush (or lack there of), and Devin Gardner are the 3 keys to Michigan's season. On the OL Brian expects Kalis to be a B+ player even as a RS Frosh, that Braden will impress, but not be as good a guard, and he's leery about Miller, but that's mainly because Molk and then Mealer have shown how important the center position is. This is a line that will (hopefully) grow and gel together as the season progresses.
Coach DiNardo talked through the Michigan schedule and how it really favors Michigan in most games. In terms of big games, Michigan rarely faces an opponent that doesn't have the same type of game (big/tough) right before or after. For example, after Michigan and Michigan State play, both team's next game is Nebraska. So the mental energy required is pretty equal. Except for Ohio. OSU has 3 "better than bye weeks" before the Game. DiNardo also liked to troll a bit, asking why we wanted to be in the same division as OSU, and why we don't want The Game moved. He does think that M and OSU will rematch this year in the B1G Championship.
All 3 members were asked for their record predictions, Sam and DiNardo said that 10-2 is to be expected, Brian said 8-10 wins. All 3 agreed that OSU will be tough, that MSU at MSU will be a toss-up, and that the game at Northwestern will be difficult too. The Q&A hit on a few more personnel and recruiting questions, as well as the state of the league. The panelists all agree that Michigan is 1 year away from having piles of talent and depth everywhere, and that Brady and Urban are out-recruiting the rest of the B1G by a mile. DiNardo said he never thought we'd see a Big 2 Little (8 or 10 or 12) again, but based on recruiting that's where we're heading. In terms of the B1G's reputation, the panelists agree that the diversified nature of B1G schools hurts the football prestige. DiNardo made the point that Michigan and OSU have the ability to compete on a national scale with anyone, SEC included, but what's important is the rest of the B1G stepping up as well. However, we have more schools where Football isn't the #1 priority. At Minnesota for example it could be argued that Basketball and Hockey are the #1 & 2 sports. In the SEC it's all football all the time except Kentucky.
If you have the chance to go to an Alumni Event like this I'd highly recommend it. I know Brian is headed out to an east coast event shortly, it was a good time.
