text: Emporio Armani dresses a woman in a style that is also functional and fun. Maximum comfort and fashion are the most important attributes when it comes to this collection. Like the other signature Armani collections, the Emporio Armani Women's Underwear Collection prides itself on being practical, high quality and beautiful. Giorgio Armani always says, "Elegance is not about being noticed, it's about being remembered." The Emporio Armani collection follows his statement with its collections by creating flawless styles with chic and perfected craftsmanship. The woman wearing styles from the Emporio Armani collections will be remembered for their functional, fun and trendy styles.Giorgio Armani is one of the most well known fashion designers in the world. His clean, tailored lines have made him a leader in the fashion industry since his namesake brand, Armani hit the scenes in 1975. Since then Giorgio Armani has created many collections ranging from perfumes to jeans to accessories and then underwear. In 1982 the Emporio Underwear Collection hit the stands in Europe as a way to dress those that wore it in an urban, stylish, yet cozy undergarment. The collection was introduced to the United States in the early 2000s. Giorgio Armani is well known for his use of unconventional advertising methods. He was one of the first designers to advertise with television spots, enormous street ads and direct mail advertisements. He was also one of the first designers to partner with the cinema to design clothing movies to give the collections maximum exposure.Each year Milan's fashion week spotlights Emporio Armani. It is the only collection of the designer's in that spotlight. The collection gained worldwide attention when Victoria Beckham joined as the model in 2009. David Beckham, Megan Fox, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rihanna have also been the face and body of Emporio Armani. The sleek microfiber of the Camelia bras and panties give the style a smooth look under any type of clothing while the stretchy lacy and mesh in the Gardenia lingerie give the style a trendy, sexy feel. The Emporio Armani Stretch Cotton Trunk was selected for the 2010 and 2011 for the Undies Award Best Trunk.Those who fall in love with Emporio Armani say they remain loyal to the brand from the day they buy the first article of clothing. Customers say there are few collections with accessible prices that make it into the international spotlight, but Emporio Armani targets the everyday lifestyle of women at every age. This lifestyle yearns for a moment of comfort in the craziness of life. Women say the panties are so soft they can either wear them under clothing or even just sitting around the house with a matching top.Looking and feeling beautiful is what Emporio Armani is all about. The elegance of the collection's panties and bras bring that feel to the everyday woman while allowing them to be active throughout the day. Like all of Giorgio Armani's collection, the Emporio Armani collection promises a timeless sense of style.

The Sydney Children's Hospital Network has been looking at how to employ more commodity software for telemedicine, the SCHN chief information officer, Bill Vargas told the CeBIT eHealth 2014 conference this morning.
The SCHN includes the Westmead and Randwick children's hospitals, Bear Cottage, the Newborn and Paediatric Emergency Transport Service (NETS), the Pregnancy and Newborn Services Network (PSN), and the Children's Court Clinic.
"Telemedicine is probably one of the things we've been looking at," Vargas said. The SCHN has "invested very heavy into telemedicine specifically for areas like telepsychiatry," the CIO added.
"We are very heavy into psychiatry and having telemedicine for rural areas and all over the state."
"One of the things we've looked at and we're starting to look more closely at, is [using] more commodity software for telemedicine," the CIO said.
The SCHN has been employing Microsoft Lync as a tool for telemedicine after implementing it over the last year. Clinicians have been using the Microsoft UC system for consultations with patients in areas such as Dubbo and Armidale.
The Network has been "very successful" when it came to employing Lync for endocrinology consultations.
The CIO said that SCHN has been investigating federating Lync with Skype, which will extend the options for delivering remote consultations with patients.
In March, the SCHN announced that telemedicine technology was being installed at NETS, which would allow specialists at NETS to receive video footage when hospitals made emergency calls to the specialist service.

That is pure evil. OMG.. its so funny how thousands of people just died. That is heartbraken. All im saying. The president better do something about this before someone else decides to attack. OKAY, i live around, and i went on my building roof, and my city is destroyed.

I have some friends who live in Boston who I was able to get a hold of but I had a friend who lives in Manhattan and works as a stockbroker across from the World Trade and I can't get a hold of him. All lines are down and it is really scary. I hope everyone is ok, my heart goes out to everyone all over place right now.

This is a tragic day for America and it's people.
We heard the news just after 6am here in Portland, and even hours later it's still incomprehensible.
Who could cause such damage to innocent civilians?
How could terrorists have infiltrated airport security?
What would be going through the minds of those onboard the planes and those in the WTC, who were just trying to do an honest days work?
For those dissing the Arabs- Yasser Arafat has sent his condolences and support to the US. This was a TERRORIST attack, so it could be any one of a number of extremist groups, not an entire country. People are blaming Osama Bin Laden, who is based in Afghanistan.
I hope that all in The MW.com family are safe and well. My heart goes out to all who have suffered today, as well as my thanks to those servicemen who are putting others lives before their own.
Stay safe everyone, and God bless.

OMG!!!! I'm officially terrified. This is the scariest thing that's ever happend to me and probably all of us. It's been said that this is the worst attack on the United States EVER!!!! Next was Pearl Harbor. Personally, I'm terrified. I have absolutely no idea what's about to happen to us. I hope we don't go to war. And besides that, we have no idea who did this! My heart goes out to everyone involved in this tragic incident. It just makes you wonder, what is our world coming to, when something as awful as this happens.

lol..i would send my condolences too, if you knew your ass was about to be blamed for this.
Afganistan and all the rest of the arab nations are being suspected, as well they should. Those are the countries we have the most beef with. When i seen that leader whatever his name is.. He looked petrified, he looked shook. He probably did have something to do with it. But i dont think it was his idea. Someone pushed him, probably. Cuz that boy was shook,lmao. He was like im in a deep hole.. thats what his face looked like.
Untill WHOEVER did it. Gets what they deserve for doing damage to my city, i won tbe happy. And ill do whatever my country needs to help kick ass. YA heard!!

unfortunately it's at least 10,000 people that died
this is a day that will go down in history.
i just can't get over this. i can't get the thought out of my head of what the people on the planes or in the buildings were thinking! the people on the plane KNEW that the planes were being hijacked because there have been reports of phone calls that people made from the planes to their loved ones.
i just can't understand this

Words cannot explain the feelings and emotions I am feeling right now, fear, sadness, anger, shock, my breath has been taken away by all this. I found out at about 10 am, and it has been chaotic and hectic all day. I have family and friends living in Manhattan, haven't heard on all yet, but as far as I know, all is well. I cannot believe the Twin towers are gone. Whoever this sick f*ck is, I want to make sure they pay. Can you imagine what thoughts were going through the people on the planes mind were?? You board a flight think all will go well, and the next thing you know, you're hijacked and told you're going to crash into the World Trade center. But I have to say whoever thought this up wasn't stupid. The twin towers are such a good target, so tall and if they fell, a radius of a mile could be wiped out. Sad thing is, they did and look at it now. It's horrible. They definitely accomplished what they set out to do.. My prayers go out to all families and to anyone who has been in any way affected by this tradegy. I'm more scared now that I'll be able to see WW3. And this is something personal that freaks me out.. I went to see family in Jersey this past christmas, and flew in at Newark and all I could think of when I flew in is, look at that skyline! Now, I can only remember that as the last time I really saw NYC as a whole.

I think whats tough for me is that nothing here in NYC will ever be the same again. Not that NYC has ever been perfect or a life for everyone to live but you get used to how it is and how it runs and you dont even mind after awhile. I have even come to love the craziness and the fast paced way that it has. I will miss looking down my avenue and seeing the twin towers - it was like a ritual for me. I saw it every day. I feel like Im between mourning and really angry. No matter who did this to us all I ask is they will be brought to justice and we make an example of them that we, Americans, will not tolerate this action against us. We all need to pray that this does not turn into WW3. Please, I ask you all, please be praying for peace.

ARAFAT is being true,if you know about politics,he's the one trying to obtain peace in Israel.It is bellieved the Afghanistanians are responsible,and the will be jugded,and condemend(spelling?)...but please,do not hope for a war.We are too young to have ever lived one...but some parents have...and it is NOT something to wish for.There is already TOO much pain in our world.

The tragedy at the World Trade Center/Washington DC and Pittsburgh will burn in my head forever. But more than anything the thing that burns in my head and aches my heart to tears is the image of people jumping out of the towers.... the image of innocent people being left at the mercy of someone who crashed a plane... the image of people who watched the towers crash and all the people inside crash to their death.. the image of a plane cutting through the towers and realizing that all those people who were above are dead.... what makes someone hate so much that they would do something like that?
Please don't hate on Arabs, Afghanastan's, Blacks, whites, latino's, Asians or any race or nationality or religion. Please realize that responding to hate with more hate only fuels more death more rage.... all those people were scared out of their mind... they went to work, they kissed their kids goodbye that morning .. they made plans to go places that night.. and then in one second their life was ended... why? b/c someone disagrees with what we believe.. does it help for us to counter that by saying we're going to blast every person that's from Afghanastan? Why do you think they even come over here? most of them want to get out of that lifestyle, most of them are victims in their countries, victims of hatred, whether it be political or religious.... i once watched an HBO special called Children At War about the effects war has on children and these poor kids .. they live in places where adults come and kill their parents b/c of political, socio-economic and religious reasons, they live in a world that chooses to hate what they don't understand....please fight ignorance and look at people for hteir heart... if i associated every white person with someone who discriminated against me, that makes me no better than the person who hated on me... my mom lives in West New York NJ and she works in Manhattan and I was just there for a visit.. and I went to the World Trade Center to catch the train, do you realize how many people are under those buildings, just going to work? Or shopping at the stores? I called my mom and she saw the plane go through the building and thank God that she wasn't anywhere near the building but she was one of the thousands of people who had to evacuate the city...... i love NYC and the peeps in the Tri-City Area, but if there is one thing I know New Yorkers are tough.... you guys are gonna get through this and be stronger for it.... as a Christian, I look to Jesus everyday, and in times of crisis all I can do is pray.. people always say they believe in God, if you really do believe in God then please pray and believe that God hears your prayer and will answer it, and I promise He always comes through for eveyone who believes.......

They have the worst out of the test playing nations, though I don't rate Bangladesh, India or Pakistan very high either.
You don't rate Pakistan bowling high?
Not the worst, but very one dimensional for the conditions in sub-continent!!! They need to have Swann take a 4-fer almost every game to do well in WC....But thats not easy, if u r not Afridi (j/K)

Two high-scoring games in a row makes me think that maybe it's because the Bangalore pitch is extremely flat. Or it probably eases out considerably under lights.

Nope, India's is defo. worse. In the beginning of the WC, I'd have rated the English attack near the top tbh. In Broad and Swann they have two of the best LO bowlers in the world.
Anderson in current form is actually a negative though, really realy have to drop him IMO.
Arguing between England and India's bowling line-ups right now would be like arguing who is worse, Benchmark or Burgey. They're both so rubbish its not worth debating.

Press Release: Southern California's Malfunctioning Nuclear Power Plant to Close Permanently--Closure Protects Whales, Sea Turtles, People
EDITOR'S NOTE: The first story I ever wrote for publication was an SF Bay Guardian piece about the environmental hazards which the proposed San Onofre nuclear power plant threatened. I'm happy to see, only about 40 years too late, that my analysis has finally been acknowledged.
SAN FRANCISCO— The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station will close permanently, Southern California Edison announced today. The Center for Biological Diversity, Friends of the Earth and other environmental groups have opposed restarting the leaking plant.
"The San Onofre nuclear plant blighted the California coast, and closing it down is the best solution for the troubled, leaking facility," said Miyoko Sakashita of the Center for Biological Diversity. "The plant's coastal neighbors and marine ecosystems have something to celebrate today. Closing the station will push California toward safer, smarter energy options."
The plant had experienced leaks in recent years, causing its temporary shutdown, which today was made permanent. Situated directly on the coast, the nuclear plant also killed marine life by sucking millions of gallons of ocean water through its "once-through" cooling system.
Conservationists were also concerned about Southern California Edison's proposal to conduct a high-energy seismic survey to detect earthquake risks around the plant: The blasting airguns used for the survey would have harassed whales, dolphins, and porpoises as many as 20,000 times. The Center and Friends of the Earth opposed the survey, suggesting that the best way to protect against earthquake-related dangers was to shut the plant down. This is what finally happened today.
"This is very good news for the people of Southern California," said Erich Pica, president of Friends of the Earth. "We have long said that these reactors are too dangerous to operate, and now Edison has agreed. The people of California now have the opportunity to move away from the failed promise of dirty and dangerous nuclear power and replace it with the safe and clean energy provided by the sun and the wind."
The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan brought to light the enormous risk of operating coastal nuclear power plants. In addition to the human cost of such an accident, researchers are investigating effects on wildlife. Since the disaster, scientists tested California's catches of Pacific bluefin tuna and found trace amounts of radioactive elements from the disaster. Pacific bluefin tuna — a top ocean predator that is at historically low levels due to overfishing — migrate to the U.S. and Mexico's west coast from Japanese waters where they are born.
The Center for Biological Diversity is a national, nonprofit conservation organization with more than 500,000 members and online activists dedicated to the protection of endangered species and wild places.

BAND ANNOUNCED 9 SOLD OUT SHOWS WEEK AFTER TICKETS MADE AVAILABLE – FINAL NEW YORK Date at MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
TWEET IT: #RIPMotleyCrue - @MotleyCrue #TheFinalTour, comes to Madison Square Garden in NYC! Full details at motley.com
LOS ANGELES (Feb. 24 2014) – Just days after tickets for iconic rock 'n' roll band MÖTLEY CRÜE's The Final Tour went on sale, nine shows sold out, with many more headed in that direction. The band added on dates in Detroit, Spokane, Hollywood, FL and an Oct. 28th date at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY, which will be MOTLEY CRUE's last NYC show ever. Tickets for the Madison Square Garden show will go on sale Saturday, March 1st at 10:00 a.m. local time.
The sold out shows are: Aug. 9 – Clarkston, MI (DTE Energy Music Theatre) Aug. 10 – Toronto, ON (Molson Canadian Amp) Oct. 7 – Hollywood, FL (Hard Rock Live) Oct. 25 – Atlantic City, NJ (Borgata Events Center) Oct. 26 – Uncasville, CT (Mohegan Sun Arena) Nov. 15 – St. Paul, MN (XCEL Energy Center) Nov. 16 – Fargo, ND (FargoDome) Nov. 18 – Edmonton, AB (Rexall Place) Nov. 19 – Calgary, AB (Scotiabank Saddledome)
MÖTLEY CRÜE announced The Final Tour and the band's ultimate retirement, solidified when the band signed a formal Cessation Of Touring Agreement, effective at the end of 2015, in front of global media in Los Angeles on Jan. 28. Celebrating the announcement of The Final Tour, the band performed on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" later that night and appeared on "CBS This Morning" on Jan. 29.
With over 80 million albums sold, MÖTLEY CRÜE has sold out countless tours across the globe and spawned more than 2,500 MÖTLEY CRÜE branded items, sold in over 30 countries. MÖTLEY CRÜE has proven they know how to make a lasting impression and this tour will be no different. Fans can expect to hear the catalogue of their chart-topping hits and look forward to mind-blowing, unparalleled live production. "When it comes to putting together a new show, we always push the envelope and that's part of Mötley Crüe's legacy," explains Nikki Sixx (bass). "As far as letting on to what we're doing, that would be like finding out what you're getting for Christmas before you open the presents. We think in an age of too much information, we'd like to keep some surprises close to our chest until we launch The Final Tour."
The Final Tour, presented by Dodge and produced by Live Nation, will kick off in North America on July 2 in Grand Rapids, Mich. and reach 73 markets before hitting international territories in 2015. To Live Nation, MÖTLEY CRÜE tours are not only box office successes but artistically have set the bar for production and entertainment value. "There's no arguing that Mötley Crüe have been and always will be the definitive bad boys of rock 'n' roll," says Rick Franks, Live Nation's regional president of North America concerts. "But behind all those notorious stories is a legendary rock band that has revolutionized heavy metal and created some of the biggest hits in music history. They are a hugely successful global brand and a touring powerhouse. Everyone at Live Nation has a tremendous amount of respect for these hard-working and extremely talented gentlemen. The music industry will never have another Mötley Crüe."
The Dodge Brothers were a notorious duo, so it seemed only natural to partner with the World's Most Notorious Rock Band. "Whenever I talk to people about Mötley Crüe, the common thread is how cool and relevant the band remains, even after 33 years," said Tim Kuniskis, president and CEO, Dodge Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "This irreverent 'staying power' resonates deeply with the Dodge brand as we turn the corner on our 100-year anniversary. What better way to celebrate the band's final tour and the 25th anniversary of Kickstart My Heart than to do it together?"
Fans can look forward to very special guest ALICE COOPER joining MÖTLEY CRÜE for an incredible package; Alice invented the rock 'n' roll genre and MÖTLEY CRÜE put steroids in it! "Real hard rock bands are hard to find these days," said Alice. "Mötley has always gone on stage with one attitude and that's to blow the audience away. That's exactly how we do it. Putting Mötley Crüe and Alice Cooper together is going to be just what this summer really NEEDS. We're going to go out there and tear it up, and I can't wait to see Mötley on stage. Mötley Crüe and Alice Cooper—a match made in...Armageddon?"
As documented in the Cessation Of Touring Agreement the band signed at the Jan. 28 press conference, the band will not tour after this final tour. Band attorney Doug Mark of Mark Music & Media Law explains: "Other bands have split up over rancor or the inability of people to get along, but this is mutual among all four original members and a peaceful decision to move on to other endeavors and to confirm it with a binding agreement." Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Mick Mars will go their separate ways after the lengthy two-year touring cycle. Tommy Lee (drums) explains: "Everything must come to an end!! We always had a vision of going out with a big f***king bang and not playing county fairs and clubs with one or two original band members! Our job here is done!!!" Of the band's tumultuous history, Mick Mars (guitar) adds: "(It has been) more drama than 'General Hospital;' it keeps 'em watchin' and they keep comin' back." Vocalist, Vince Neil says of the Finality of the tour: "I'll miss playing with the guys, but I won't quit playing rock 'n' roll!! I feel there are a lot of great opportunities and exciting projects after Mötley."
All tickets and packages can be obtained via Ticketmaster.com, LiveNation.com, or via MotleyVIP.com.

About Alice Cooper Alice Cooper is a true rock icon, having pioneered the use of theatrics and shocking images onstage in concerts from the earliest days of the original band of the same name. Since going solo, he has continued to produce elaborate stage shows providing fans with both shock and rock of the highest caliber. Inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, Alice has toured and recorded continuously, with his most recent album being Welcome 2 My Nightmare. Recorded with longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin, who produced the original ground breaking, multi-platinum Welcome To My Nightmare album in 1975, the album picks up right where they left off, with Alice trapped in his own warped mind. Alice's catalog of hits and anthems, including "I'm Eighteen," "No More Mr Nice Guy," School's Out," "Elected," "Poison," and others, are included in his current "Raise The Dead" show, which also features his musical tribute to his fallen friends John Lennon, Keith Moon, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix. Currently, Alice's touring band features the three guitar attack of Orianthi, Tommy Henriksen and Ryan Roxie, backed by bassist Chuck Garric and drummer Glen Sobel. Additionally, "Nights With Alice Cooper," Alice's nightly radio show, is available in nearly 100 cities in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the UK. The show features his favorite classic rock songs along with his insider anecdotes about many of the artists.

Cancer never sleeps, so neither do we as teams set up camp and take turns to walk round the track for the duration of the event.
At a Relay For Life event there are special moments that bring everyone together:
- Our VIP guests are our cancer survivors. Each Relay For Life event begins with their Lap of Honour.
- A Candle of Hope Ceremony sees the darkness lit up in memory of those we've lost and in celebration of those still here.
- The sharing of information about Cancer Research UK's ground-breaking science in cancer prevention gives us real hope for the future.
- Music, games and fun from local partners get us moving.
- A celebratory closing ceremony celebrates our achievements and inspires us all to continue the fight.
Team up with family, friends and colleagues then join Relay For Life to raise money to beat cancer. Anybody can join in, regardless of age or fitness level. Relays are fun for all the family and everyone is welcome!

Fusible notes that Ubisoft has registered domains indicating the next installment in the Rainbow Six series of tactical shooters may be titled Rainbow Six: Patriots. Word is Ubi now owns Rainbow6Patriots.com and RainbowsixPatriots.com. They note that NeoGAF follows this up supporting the Rainbow Six: Patriots title theory.

Former North Carolina postal carrier Cathy Wrench Cashwell pleaded guilty to fraud in federal court Monday, after evidence surfaced of her appearance on the TV game show "The Price is Right" while receiving worker's compensation.
Cashwell claimed she couldn't lift mail trays into a truck due to a 2004 on-the-job shoulder injury. But according to an indictment filed in September last year, Cashwell appeared on 'The Price is Right' in 2009 and got to spin the big wheel.
According to the complaint, Cashwell "raised her left arm above her head and gripped the handle with her left hand." On a second spin, she "raised both arms above her head and gripped the same handle with both hands."
Federal investigators say Cashwell knowingly lied when she wrote on her worker's compensation paperwork in September 2011 that she couldn't stand, sit, kneel, squat, climb, bend, reach or grasp.
The indictment alleged Cashwell and her husband went ziplining while on a Carnival Cruise in 2010, and the she was also spotted lifting furniture and carrying groceries with both arms in 2011.
Private investigator Allison Blackman told WRAL that worker's comp fraud fairly common. Blackman estimated that nearly 30 percent of compensation claims in North Carolina are fraudulent.

los gatos business valuation
When one or both parties owns a business, or professional practice, such as a doctor, lawyer or accountant, the risk of expensive ongoing litigation is greatly increased.
In dissolution of marriage proceedings, business assets must be analyzed to first determine their character, i.e., is the asset community property, or the separate property, in whole, or in part, of one spouse. Business valuation usually involves the use of expert witnesses, most commonly a certified public accountant who is also a certified valuation analyst.
If your dissolution of marriage case involves a business, it is important to select an attorney with knowledge and experience in the area of business valuation. Your attorney should be familiar with qualified expert witnesses who are able to assist in preparing your case, both in determining the value of the business and in many cases, determining income from the business for child and spousal support purposes.
As an experienced qualified certified family law specialist who understands the issues related to business assets, I can help you try to avoid protracted expensive litigation and, if necessary, know how to present your case properly to the court in an effort to obtain a favorable outcome.

Does examiner bias in undergraduate oral and clinical surgery examinations occur?

OBJECTIVE: Oral and long case clinical examinations are open to subjective influences to some extent, and students may be marked unfairly as a result of gender or racial bias or language problems. These concerns are of topical relevance in South Africa. The purpose of this study was to assess whether these factors influenced the marks given in these examinations.
METHODS: Final-year surgery examination results from the University of Cape Town from 2003 to 2006 were reviewed. These each consisted of a multiple choice paper, an objective structured clinical examination, a long case clinical examination and an oral examination.
RESULTS: The marks of 604 students were analysed. Students who spoke English as a home language performed better in all examination modalities. Female students scored slightly higher than males overall, but they scored similarly in the clinical and oral examinations. There were significant differences in the marks scored between the various population groups in all examination modalities, with white students achieving the highest scores, and black students the lowest. These differences were most marked in multiple choice examinations, and least marked in oral and clinical examinations.
CONCLUSION: We could find no evidence of systemic bias in the oral and clinical examinations in our department, which reinforces the need for ongoing academic support for students from disadvantaged educational backgrounds, and for those who do not speak English as a home language.
Numerous examination modalities are used to assess theoretical knowledge and competency in medical students. Oral and long case clinical examinations are particularly open to criticism as they are inherently subjective to some degree and may also partly involve the assessing of language skills rather than examining students' grasp of the curriculum.1 Furthermore, the examiner may have a conscious or unconscious bias that could influence certain students' marks; this is a particular concern in South Africa, where racial classification and prejudice have played a significant part in the country's history and politics. The demographics of staff and students within the Department of Surgery at the University of Cape Town are disparate in that most lecturers (and examiners) are white males, while the majority of students are female and of other races. Furthermore, the medium of teaching and examining (and the home language of most examiners) is English, whereas many students speak another first language. We wished to assess whether systemic bias according to language, gender or population group has influenced the marks given in oral and clinical examinations in our department.
Ethical approval for this study was granted by the research ethics committee of the UCT Faculty of Health Sciences.
The University of Cape Town (UCT) final surgery examination consists of four modalities: (i) 400-question multiple choice (MCQ) paper; (ii) objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) consisting of 20 clinical stations each with short questions about a clinical problem such as X-ray interpretation, recognising photographs of clinical signs, etc.; (iii) long case clinical examination; and (iv) oral examination.
The MCQ papers are marked by computer. At each of the 20 OSCE stations, students give a short written answer. The set of answers for each station is marked by a different examiner. Marking of the OSCE is not blinded as students' names are on the answer sheet. During the clinical examination, each student is required to take a history from, and examine, a patient and present the case to two examiners. The examiners assess the ability of the student to accurately assess the clinical case, and ask relevant questions related to that patient. The unstructured 20-minute oral examination, with two examiners, examines the student on a wide range of general surgical topics.
We reviewed students' final-year examination marks from 2003 to 2006. We analysed the marks allocated for each component of the examination (MCQ, OSCE, oral and clinical) separately. All marks were equally weighted and are stated as percentages. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated between the four examination modalities, and consistency between them was calculated using Cronbach's a coefficient (a widely used psychometric statistical tool for assessing whether a number of different tests measure a similar construct2).
The self-declared home language, gender and population group of each student were obtained from UCT records. The terms 'white', 'coloured', 'Indian' and 'African' are used as they were population groups as defined by racial classification legislation formerly in South Africa. We do not consider these terms legitimate, except to acknowledge that the different experiences of people so categorised have led to persistent inequities.
Statistical analysis was done using MedCalc (Mariakerke, Belgium) software. Continuous variables were analysed using the Student's f-test (when two sets of data were compared) or Kruskal-Wallis test (when more than two groups were compared). Categorical data were compared using the chi-square test. In all instances where parametric statistical tests were used, the data fulfilled the required criteria of normality and equal variance. All results are stated as mean (95% confidence interval (CI)) unless otherwise stated.
Between 2003 and 2006, 694 students sat the final surgery examinations. Demographic data were incomplete for 90 students and were excluded from the study, leaving 604 for analysis, comprising 369 female and 235 male students. One hundred and seventy students described themselves as African, 99 as coloured, 102 as Indian and 233 as white. English was the first language of 437 students, while 167 spoke another home language. Population group was significantly associated with home language. English was the home language of 222/233 white, 96/102 Indian, 96/99 coloured and 23/146 African students (p<0.0001).
The highest correlation coefficient between examination modalities was between the MCQ and OSCE examinations (0.53). The lowest correlation was between the oral and clinical examinations (0.31). The correlation coefficients between the other combinations of examination modalities were all between 0.34 and 0.36. The p-values for correlation were <0.0001 in all cases. Cronbach's a coefficient for consistency between the examinations was 0.74, which shows adequate consistency.2
Students whose home language was English scored significantly higher marks in each of the examination modalities compared with students who spoke another home language. The mean marks were 63.5 (62.8 - 64.3) v. 57.3(55.9 - 58.6) in the MCQ, 68.8 (68.1 - 69.5) v. 63.1 (61.9 - 64.3) in the OSCE, 67.4 (66.8 - 68) v. 64.2 (63.1 - 65.2) in the oral and 68.6 (68.1 - 69.1) v. 65.1 (64.1 - 66.1) in the clinical examination; and p-values were <0.0001 in all cases.
There was a small but statistically significant difference in the overall marks of female and male students (67.9 (67.3 - 68.5) v. 64.9 (64.2 - 65.6), p=0.02). Female students scored significantly higher marks in the MCQ (62.5 (61.6 - 63.4) v. 60.6 (59.5 - 61.8), p=0.01) and OSCE (68.1 (67.3 - 68.9) v. 65.9 (64.8 - 66.9), p=0.001) examinations, but there was no significant gender difference in performance in the oral (66.8 (66.1 - 67.4) v. 66.0 (65.2 - 66.9), p=0.17) and clinical (67.9 (67.3 - 68.5) v. 67.1 (66.4 - 67.9), p=0.1) examinations.
The mean marks for the four examination modalities in each of the population groups are illustrated in Fig. 1 and Table I. There were significant (p<0.0001) differences in the marks scored between the population groups in all examination modalities, with white students achieving the highest scores and African students the lowest. The difference in marks scored according to population group was most marked in the MCQ examination, and least marked in the oral and clinical examinations. When analysed according to population group, but including only those students who spoke English as their home language, these trends persisted but were less marked (Table II).
Conclusions and discussion
Oral examinations and long case clinical examinations have been a part of our assessment of medical students for many years, but the fairness of such examinations, which rely to some extent on a linguistically and culturally determined discourse between student and examiner, has been questioned.1 This is of particular relevance in South Africa, with its cultural and linguistic diversity. We are not aware of previous studies that have attempted to detect examiner bias in oral and clinical examinations at a South African medical school.
Poorer performance of male and ethnic minority candidates in medical school examinations has been noted,3-8 and also in postgraduate medical examinations.9 Persistent inequities in South African society result in marked differences in schooling quality and economic status between population groups, which may manifest in differing performance in university examinations.10-12
Our study showed consistent, notable differences in the marks achieved in final-year surgery examinations at UCT between students from different population groups, and between English home-language students and those who spoke other home languages. These differences in performance were evident in all examination modalities. Female students performed slightly better overall in the examinations.
Language and population group were linked in this student population. The majority (414/434 (95%)) of white, coloured and Indian students spoke English as their first language, compared with only 23/170 (14%) of African students. English home-language students scored higher marks than other students in all examination modalities. As with other studies,1 the differences in performance between population groups may, at least partly, be ascribed to differences in language ability.4 However, differences in performance between population groups persisted, but were less marked when only English home-language students' marks were analysed. This is similar to the findings of a study of two London medical schools' third-year examination results, which noted underperformance of Asian students, including those who spoke English as a first language.5
There was adequate consistency between the examination modalities, despite the subjective aspects of the oral and clinical examinations. Differences in performance by population group, language and gender were greatest in the MCQ (which was marked by computer, and therefore effectively blinded to the students' ethnicity, gender or home language), and least evident in the oral and clinical examinations. Therefore, we could not identify any evidence that the differences in performance were the result of examiner bias in the oral and clinical examinations. However, our inability to detect such bias may reflect the methodological limitations of this purely quantitative study. Direct, qualitative studies of the interactions between examiners and students, using ethnographic or socio-linguistic tools, may detect more subtle differences in the ways that different students are examined.1
This study highlights the need for ongoing academic support for students from educationally disadvantaged backgrounds who may have difficulties studying in a language other than their home language. Universities should also encourage their academic staff to learn an African language, to communicate better with their students. We also need to assess whether questions in the MCQ and OSCE examinations are sufficiently clearly worded for non-English-speaking students.

Farmers are starting to investigate the use of drones for a decidedly nonmilitary purpose: monitoring crops and spraying pesticides.
As the spring growing season unfolds, universities already are working with agricultural groups to experiment with different types of unmanned aircraft outfitted with sensors and other technologies to measure and protect crop health.
Oregon State University plans to use the unmanned vehicles to monitor the school's potato crop and those of a commercial potato grower. Both crops, located near Hermiston, Ore., are expected to sprout in coming weeks. The university last month ran its first test-flight.
Oregon State is one of several universities that have begun research projects to investigate the use of the unmanned aerial vehicles in agriculture. Drones are the latest development in a movement known as precision agriculture, which uses technology such as global positioning systems, sensors and iPads to more accurately monitor fields.
Growers can run analytics on data generated by sensors and drones to quickly find problems such as specific plants not getting enough water. Flown by a pilot on the ground, aircraft equipped with infrared cameras can take a close look at the health of plants to help growers determine whether they need water, are suffering from insect infestation or need additional fertilizer.
The Federal Aviation Administration is set to establish guidelines for using such aircraft by September 2015. Once that happens, the industry is expected to generate more than 21,000 jobs during the following 12 months, according to a March report by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International. Until then farmers in the U.S. can only use these drones if they are participating in research with a university.
Today, this type of monitoring is done by manned planes and sometimes satellites. "The biggest problem in the past with aerial imagery in agriculture is that everything is time-sensitive, and with unmanned aerial vehicles we'd be able to process that data much more quickly," said Steve Cubbage, president of Prime Meridian, a company that sells precision agriculture data services to growers. Instead of scheduling a plane, which could take longer owing to the time required to make arrangements with the local airport, drones would be lower-cost and able to operate even if there was cloud cover, he said.
The drones, some as small as eight pounds, can be put into the air on-demand, but because of the complexity of flying them, farmers will likely hire a company to provide the service.
"This technology should provide an opportunity to see parts of the field even down to the leaf level," said Phil Hamm, director of the Hermiston Agricultural Research and Extension Center at Oregon State University.
At Oregon State, the potato crop at the university was chosen because it is a highly valued product and expensive to raise. Farmers in the area spend about $4,000 or more per acre to raise the crop, or about $500,000 for the average-size field. Growers in the area have been quick to adopt technology that will help them lower costs and improve yields. "We're the most technologically advanced growing area in the world," said Mr. Hamm.
Oregon State will use two types of unmanned aerial vehicles that will be equipped with cameras. The HawkEye from Tetracam Inc. of Chatsworth, Calif., is a rectangular frame with a specialized video camera, a motor and propeller that weighs eight pounds and is attached to a large parachute. The other aircraft, called Unicorn from Lockheed Martin Corp.'s LMT +0.55%Procerus Technologies, looks like a glider. Mr. Hamm doesn't think these should be called drones because farmers will use them solely for monitoring their own crops and not for military or law-enforcement purposes.
Yet, companies like Bosh Precision Agriculture LLC, of Newport News, Va., are actually repurposing drones built for the military and equipping them with a camera that can take images of crops outside the visible spectrum, showing infrared light. The infrared light that is reflected by a plant shows how efficiently photosynthesis occurs in that plant and can provide insight into its general health. By 2050, there will be an estimated nine billion people on the planet, and farmers will need to produce larger yields, said Young Kim, general manager of Bosh Precision Agriculture. "There are very few young people that go into farming and we have an aging farming population," he said. Technology can be an answer to both those problems, he said.
Meantime, Oregon State and other universities are putting unmanned aircraft to the test. The University of California, Davis is testing small helicopter-like vehicles for the targeted spraying of pesticides in hard-to-reach hillsides in vineyards. Researchers at Kansas State University are creating precise maps of nitrogen deficiencies in soil to help farmers apply fertilizer where it is needed most. A team at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University is using the aircraft to detect microbes in the atmosphere that may cause plant diseases.
In Oregon, researchers will look at research plots of potatoes that are artificially under-watered and under-fertilized to see how quickly the aircraft can pick up those details. "We want to know whether the cameras associated with these vehicles are more sensitive than the naked eye," said Mr. Hamm.
Eventually, farmers will likely depend on third parties to analyze the data and images received by drones. These services may send growers real-time updates about specific problems drones find in the field such as new insect infestations or dry patches, said Mr. Hamm.
"Any way that growers can potentially maximize yields and quality, that is money in their pockets," said Mr. Hamm.

Top Knot Hat
How do you feel about chunky little babies with big bright eyes in little hats? I love them & I particularly love this one. Finn is 3-1/2 months old now. He's filled out quite nicely, wouldn't you say? He's a little over 14 lbs. now. He talks up a storm (or coos, rather) & is working on grabbing toys. Pretty soon he'll even be rolling over, we think.
Finn needed a hat to wear out on Christmas Eve, so I quickly made him up a top knot hat using one of Dylan's old t-shirts. I chose a nice thick one with good stretch & it turned out perfect. I need to make a few more so that we have them ready to pop on this baby head throughout the winter.
I used the Top Knot Baby Hat Tutorial from Prudent Baby. I sized mine up just little bit to fit Finnegan's slightly bigger than newborn size head. :)

Garage Sale for Baby Ruby
A little bit back, I briefly mentioned that my brother & sister-in-law had to have their baby prematurely. (Many of you commented & e-mailed me since then. Thank you so much for your thoughts & concern.) My sister-in-law developed eclampsia & it became necessary for her to deliver her sweet baby girl at only 24 weeks. Well, cute little Ruby was born & weighed only 1 lb. 3.8 oz. She is now one month old. She's done very well, but has had to have 2 surgeries already. One for a perforated bowel & one to close a valve in her heart. We have no idea how long she'll need to stay in the hospital.
Our family has really come together to pray for Ruby & her parents. They live in Idaho, while we're all in Nevada & we really wish that we could do anything & everything to help them to feel loved & supported through this time while Ruby is in the NICU.
My siblings & I have decided to organize a garage sale to raise funds for them to put towards Ruby's medical bills. At this time of year, we are all cleaning out our closets & organizing & figured it would be a good time to hold a garage sale.
The garage sale will be on Saturday, January 7th.
If you are local & would like to help, we would love it! Here's what you can do:
1. Donate items (no junk) for the garage sale. We would love it if you could deliver the items to us. Please note that the drop off location is in the East side of town. Please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com for more details.
Anything left over will be donated to Deseret Industries thrift store.
2. Come shop the garage sale! I will keep you posted on the location & will remind you a few days prior to the sale.
3. Say a prayer, or 2, or 3, or more for Ruby.
We love this baby girl so much, even though we've never even been able to meet her in person. Her strength inspires us to live our lives with more determination. My brother doesn't know that we are cooking up this little fundraiser. Although he may find out through word of mouth, or if he checks the internet. My sisters & I (there are 5 of us girls) can't resist the urge to want to help our little brother & hopefully we'll have some fun in the process. Thank you in advance for your help.

Merry Christmas!
Small, humble, simple, happy, sweet...perfect.
My kids always surprise me with how sweet they are...how they get excited about even the littlest things. How they are happy with what's in front of them & there really is no comparing to what others have.
Hope your Christmas was just as heartwarming as ours. Wishing you all the love & happiness in the world on this day & always. :)

The Happenings
How have you been? Super busy? Me too. So busy that I haven't been able to post on the blog apparently. It feels strange to me. Like I have a bunch of friends out there that I haven't talked to in ages & for some reason I feel the need to update you on our recent happenings...
We visited Santa at Bass Pro Shops. Then shot some guns & tried on coonskin hats & stuff like that. That place is crazy.
My sisters & I took our kids over to my Grandma's house to set up her Christmas tree & decorate her house. Grandma really looks forward to this every year & the kids think it's so much fun.
Sadie has been doing really well in school. She received 3 awards this trimester: A/B Honor Roll, Citizenship & Soaring Eagle. She's come home with really cool treasures like stackable rainbow pencils & bean sprouts.
This week we were really happy to finally be hooked up with a great pediatric urologist. Sadie has had chronic urinary tract infections for a number of years. I was so happy to leave this new doctor's office with an actual explanation for her infections & a plan to correct it. Learning that the issue is bladder dysfunction & not bad hygiene or reflux which doctors were previously looking at was such a relief to me. It felt good to hear an explanation that actually made sense. Now we know what the issue is! Finally! And we are working to get her better.
Claire has been spending lots of time with her cousin, Crew. These two are best buddies. They are in the same preschool class & play together just about every day. One of the fist things Claire asks in the morning is if Crew can come over. They are sweet.
We finally joined in on the elf on the shelf craze. The girls are so thrilled with it. I think it's the most exciting thing in their life right now & I must admit that it makes me super happy to see them so happy. Our elf is named Molly. This elf has sat on my Grandma's tree for years & she was sweet enough to give it to me last year when I told her how much I loved it. :)
I have not been full of Christmas cheer this year. Usually I am. The tree goes up the day after Thanksgiving & I'm all about the Christmas activities. This year I've been dragging my feet & it all has to do with money, or the lack of it. We've had a lot of medical bills over the last few months & then an unexpected car repair early this month left us very low on funds. It's bummed me out quite a bit. I wasn't even sure how we'd make it through. But Dylan & I finished the shopping yesterday & I'm feeling a bit better. The girls aren't getting a ton of gifts, but I know that they will be happy with what they receive. It actually feels good to have a reason to be conservative in our spending & giving. Really, kids don't need a lot of crap to be happy.
This time of year is so crazy. It really is. I'm looking forward to spending some time together as a family & really keeping it simple.
So I hope we're all caught up now. Glad we could get back in touch after all this time. :) All my love until next time...

Finn's Blessing
Our sweet Finn was given a blessing in church last Sunday. I love this tradition where the worthy men in the family surround the baby, present him to the Lord, give him a name & then bless him with various blessings for his life (like health & strength, seeking after education etc.).
I had been looking forward to this day for some time & I purchased a little cream colored sweater before Finn was even born. Then, although I had the brown linen fabric for weeks, I waited until the night before the blessing at about midnight to begin sewing his pants. Luckily everything turned out well & he looked super cute for his special day.
After our church meeting, all of our family members gathered at my parents house to visit & enjoy a nice brunch. We had ham & swiss sliders, potato & bacon casserole, cinnamon baked french toast, pumpkin muffins & cinnamon rolls. Oh it was good!
Finn was passed around & loved on until all our guests left. Then I took him to my bed, undressed him down to his onesie & layed down to nurse him. After staying up late to prepare for the day, it felt so good to finally lay down with his warm body next to mine & I felt so, so blessed to have him by my side. It's amazing how much our love grows when we have another child & even though I expected it, that strong bond between mother & child still surprises me. I am so grateful that the Lord blessed us with another baby. I love him so much!

PICTART 3"x24" ($7.95/Sq Ft) Ceramica Sant'Agostino-Mixed
Digital technology
Ceramica Sant'Agostino has been one of
the first companies of the sector to add a
technological revolution in the production
processes. The digital ink-jet printing on
ceramics offers unlimited possibilities for
accurately reproducting graphic motifs on
ceramics, and opens up a whole series of
brand new prospects for the design and
production of tiles surfaces.
Endless design versions
By its very nature, the system makes it possible
to create an endless variety of different
graphic versions of the same
design, thus definitively leaving behind the
very concept of repetitiveness, typical of
traditional production techniques.
Colour without limits
From the point of view of colour, digital
technology is an important step forward
for ceramic technology, because it makes it
possible to reproduce any kind of nuance,
shade or tone, using a highly sophisticated
colour management systemable to achieve
the same unlimited colour potential of
photographic printing.
From edge to edge
In-line digital printing technology, synchronized
and patented,makes it possible to
decorate the whole tile, right from edge to
edge, guaranteeing perfect definition even
in the case of particularlymarked reliefs on
the surfaces.
A brand-new, high-quality look
Floor and wall coverings become surprisingly
beautiful and profoundly realistic. From
natural stone to wood, from fabric effects to
superb design patterns, ceramic materials
are given a brand-new, high-quality look,
thanks to the possibility of creating designs
with virtually unlimited colour and pattern
Lower environmental impact
Digital technology, in line with Ceramica
Sant'Agostino's commitment to protecting
the planet,makes it possible to significantly
reduce environmental impact: 100%of
the inks are used, so there is no waste to be
disposed of, nor any longer the need for
consumables such as silk screens.Ceramica
