"In a March 2005 podcast (http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/2005/03/03.html), Jon Udell persuasively identified five major factors behind the explosive growth of podcasting and rich media authoring in general: Internet activity is pervasive. Broadband has grown very rapidly, which makes it far easier to "consume large media objects." The multimedia personal computer can "more or less be taken for granted." The "distinction between streaming and downloading of media content has begun to blur. . . . People can now have the experience of streaming while enjoying the simplicity . . . of downloading." Finally, there is the iPod phenomenon and "the rapid adoption of portable MP3 playback devices"-up to eleven million devices in the United States alone. Udell calls the portable audio device "the new transistor radio" and points to the beginnings of a "renaissance of creative stuff happening." Because this renaissance coincides with the Creative Commons phenomenon, traditional business models need not constrain the artist's work."

"The Body Explained, with Cassius Bordelon, PhD, is a light-hearted video production that answers common questions about how the human body works. Segments generally run one minute and are designed to help capture students' attention and curiosity. Dr. Bordelon is an Associate Professor of Cell Biology at Baylor College of Medicine and an expert on anatomy."

"This form will help you identify those who may be at risk and who will benefit from additional testing to look for conditions that cause SCA. The HCMA offers the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Risk Assessment Form, SCARAF, This form should be distributed to all school age children and families. This 2- page form has the AHA 12 point items addressed and written in a manner that a parent is more likely to provide as clinically relevant data to a physician. This document was created with the assistance of Dr. Robert Campbell and the HCMA. It offers 3 options Yes - No - Unsure. Should the parent/you answers Yes or Unsure to any question they are offered 3 steps to follow: 1. Bring this form to your personal physician and discuss cardiac screening. 2. Seek an evaluation from a cardiac professional including appropriate testing (ECG, echocardiogram and additional if warrented) and consultation. 3. Share this information with your family. This tool creates a clinical indication for testing should the parent identify a risk factor; therefore, the clinical evaluation and testing should be covered by all major insurance programs in the USA. This tool also has the power to move beyond the child and to the parent as it is far more common to see a death under the age of 54 and over the age of 24, therefore the parents are at a similar risk as the child."
