Report of the Integrated Stroke Care Workshop
The Stroke Project has been underway since October 2000. This workshop represented the first mechanism where by issues surrounding the project have been addressed by the multi- disciplinary stroke team and the Darent Valley Hospital Staff. Approximately 35 members of staff attended the workshop, demonstrating the high level of interest and ownership. Currently, the hospital receives an average eight or nine new stroke admissions a week. The turnover is such that patients suffering from stroke account for around 22-23 occupied beds in the acute hospital at any point in time. In the past the Acute Trust had had a lead Stroke Physician responsible for 20 designated stroke beds within a stroke unit. In that system many (but not all) cases of acute stroke admitted under the General Physicians would have been referred to the stroke unit and had their acute care and acute rehabilitation provided on site in that unit. At that time the overall number of beds occupied by cases of stroke was around 28- 29
Multi-Boson Interactions at the LHC
This review covers results on the production of all possible electroweak
boson pairs and 2-to-1 vector boson fusion at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
(LHC) in proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV.
The data were taken between 2010 and 2012. Limits on anomalous triple gauge
couplings (aTGCs) then follow. In addition, data on electroweak triple gauge
boson production and 2-to-2 vector boson scattering yield limits on anomalous
quartic gauge boson couplings (aQGCs). The LHC hosts two general purpose
experiments, ATLAS and CMS, which have both reported limits on aTGCs and aQGCs
which are herein summarized. The interpretation of these limits in terms of an
effective field theory is reviewed, and recommendations are made for testing
other types of new physics using multi-gauge boson production.Comment: 53 pages, 48 figures, 4 table
Washburn extraction and width of the IUE point spread function
The Washburn Extraction Routine for low dispersion IUE spectra was reviewed. The shape of the point spread function (PSF) in low dispersion spectra is sufficiently well described by a gaussian function. The PSF is in large and small aperture essentially identical and values of sigma are presented. Several advantages of the extraction routine are mentioned
Constitutional Review of Building Codes and Zoning Ordinances Applied to Parochial Schools: \u3cem\u3eCity of Sumner v. First Baptist Church\u3c/em\u3e
The First Baptist Church court should not have required strict scrutiny of either the building code or the zoning ordinance applications. In reaching its decision, the court incorrectly analyzed Supreme Court decisions construing the free exercise clause, and drew mistaken parallels between the two Sumner ordinances and laws that the Supreme Court has identified as burdening religious freedom. The court should have distinguished between generally applicable laws such as Sumner\u27s building code and zoning ordinance that, in regulating the peripheral aspects of religious conduct, incidentally make a religious practice less convenient or more expensive, and laws that effectively penalize the practice of religion. The court should have required the trial court to review the Sumner ordinances under the standards for laws that regulate the time, place, and manner of exercising first amendment freedoms. Using these standards to review the ordinance would have provided a reasonable approach to protecting religious practices from the unnecessary, unintended effects of government regulation, and would have helped insure that the generally applicable regulations were applied in a nondiscriminatory manner
A Teaching Experience and How It Came to Pass
A trend seems abroad in the land: for more AAACE members to take up formal teaching - teaching academic credit courses in their respective land grant universities

Representing community mobilisation on film: learning through and about movements and their struggles
This article offers a brief critical overview of some the challenges associated with media representations of community-based protest and social movements. It is followed by a discussion of three Irish documentary films - The Pipe, Meeting Room and The 4th Act - that have profiled community struggles in Dublin and Mayo. The article proposes that, taken together, the films are problem-posing texts, of potential relevance to any readers seeking to learn with and through the praxis of community development and social movements. Generative themes raised by the films include: the hegemony of particular conceptions of development and solidarity and the denigration of alternatives; the repressive character and responses of the state when faced with dissent; and the meaningfulness of and constraints on the tactics ‘chosen’ by oppressed and peripheralised communities
