Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) July 22, 2012

Human Anatomy and Physiology Course by Dr. James Ross is making a big impact in the medical community by teaching students and medical professionals alike how to master the human body in only three days.

The course is meant to help people quickly learn the key aspects of human anatomy and so far, program participants are experiencing great results.

"This is honestly the most impressive resource on anatomy and physiology ever," said Dr. Michael King, a medical teacher from Pennsylvania who just finished the course. "The level of details in the muscular module is simply fascinating."

Dr. Ross formulated the program for medical practitioners, students, educators, researchers, trainers, sports professionals, nurses and anyone else interested in learning how the human body works quickly.

The online anatomy course includes award-winning classes that were previously only offered to medical professionals. Every lesson - or module - ends with a summary of the key factors and a test, allowing participants to make sure they grasp every lesson.

"The illustrations an extensive lesson plans have been invaluable," said Rachel Kaushik, a nursing student at UNCW Nursing School. "It has provided me with a one-stop educational solution as a student."

Course participants say Dr. Ross' program is a great choice for anyone, even those who have no medical experience at all. Participants have more than 3,000 pages of material to work with, all formulated for easy understanding and retention.

For those that are ready to buy the program should visit the official site here.

Dr. Ross says anyone interested in anatomy and physiology courses should take a serious look at his product. The materials are the result of a lifetime of study and practice that explore the human body in a way that is easy for for beginners to understand with enough information to keep even the most seasoned experts engaged.

Human Anatomy and Physiology Course Review Takes a Close Look at Popular Program

I am very excited about "Dissection as Studio Practice," a class taking place next Monday, July 23, at Observatory. Taught by artist Laura Splan, the class will begin with an illustrated survey of the use of notions of "dissection" in contemporary art practice; these principles will then be applied to in-class projects which include the dissection of your very own anatomical specimens (i.e. frog, sheep brain, cow eye). This class is open to all expernience levels, and participants are invited to bring additional materials, objects and artifacts that will inspire their “dissective” inclinations.

We had a wonderful time in the last iteration of this class, as you can see from the photos above. Full description of the class follows. Class size is limited; if interested, be sure to RSVP via email to morbidanatomy[at]gmail.com. You can see more of Laura Splan's work by clicking here. Hope very much to see you there!

Date: Monday, July 23
Time: 7-10 PM
Fee: $75
*** Class size is limited to 16; please RSVP to morbidanatomy[at]gmail.com
This class is part of the Morbid Anatomy Art Academy

This class will survey the use of dissection in contemporary art practice through an illustrated lecture, specimen dissections, and studio time for individual and collaborative projects. We will examine the conceptual and cultural significance of cutting, excavating, disassembling, labeling, observing and displaying “bodies.” The lecture will present a brief history of dissection as well as work by contemporary artists exploring imagery, tropes and methods of dissection. The collaborative and individual art projects will be fun and lively hands on explorations of the meaning of dissection in a work of art. Each student will receive a complete specimen dissection kit (i.e. frog, sheep brain, cow eye) to create a self-directed dissection project with. Participants should bring additional materials, objects and artifacts that will inspire their “dissective” inclinations. Additional supplies will be provided by the instructor to stimulate your creativity. No prior art training is required. Everyone is welcome.

Laura Splanis a Brooklyn based visual artist. Her mixed media work explores historical and cultural ambivalence towards the human body.

From Dillon to Seattle Grace, "Friday Night Lights" alum Gaius Charles will appear in Season 9 of "Grey's Anatomy" as a young doctor, but the details of his character are still under wraps, according to TVLine.

In addition to "FNL," Charles' other TV credits include "Necessary Roughness," "NCIS," "Pan Am" and "Law & Order: SVU."

When we last saw the doctors at Seattle Grace in the shocking "Grey's Anatomy" Season 8 finale, Mark (Eric Dane), Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Derek (Patrick Dempsey), Christina (Sandra Oh) and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) were in a terrible state after a plane crash killed Lexie (Chyler Leigh) and left the others stranded and wounded in the woods. Time will tell how Charles and the rest of the cast will fare in "Grey's Anatomy" Season 9.

In other casting news...

Mark Consuelos joins the cast of "American Horror Story." The "All My Children" vet is headed to the asylum as a patient named Spivey in Season 2 of the FX series. [EW]

"Dancing With The Stars: All Stars" casting news is coming. The cast of the buzzed-about special edition of "DWTS" will officially be announced during the ABC presentation at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on July 27. [THR]

Gaius Charles Joins 'Grey's Anatomy' And More Casting News

Am I watching "Grey's Anatomy"? Because for a good 40 minutes of Sunday's episode of "The Newsroom," I was watching people make puppy-dog eyes at people they are in love with but can't be with.

Associate producer Maggy Jordan pretended she wasn't attracted to senior producer Jim Harper, while Jim hooked up with her roommate. Executive producer MacKenzie McHale pretended she wasn't still in love with anchor Will McAvoy while he hit on multiple women. In the last climactic moments of the "I'll Try to Fix You" episode, an emo rock pop love song played while people exchanged long glances fraught with emotional subtext. Here is that technique, applied to a "30 Rock" episode in the video below.

Several women threw drinks in Will's face. The drinks were not a "Grey's" plot device that was borrowed from the musical drama "Smash." And no one, not even last night's "Newsroom" guest star Hope Davis, can sling the contents of a martini glass like Anjelica Huston's character on "Smash." Here is a video of Huston doing just that.

Producer Aaron Sorkin used this episode to criticize celebrity tabloid journalism. Davis played a writer for TMI magazine, and she was about to write a "takedown" piece on a Housewives reality show character, which McAvoy ripped into her for. The magazine then published a "takedown" piece on McAvoy himself.

And finally, there was a totally solid moment when the McAvoy was about to go on the air to report that U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., had been shot, and the network's president was goading him into reporting Giffords was dead. He held off.

We don't know have the benefit of 20/20 hindsight when news is breaking in real time. I now work for the editorial department but I was a Web producer in the newsroom hub for nine months. When a shooting story breaks in The Seattle Times newsroom, often times other news outlets will start correctly or incorrectly reporting a person has died, and there is intense pressure to confirm and report. It happened during the Cafe Racer shootings when the newsroom knew police had shot the suspect in West Seattle but didn't know whether he was dead. It happened when law enforcement officials found the North Bend bunker where the man suspected of killing his wife and her daughter was hiding.

The tension in our newsroom is never about when to push print on a story for the paper or for the website. It is always about one thing: Twitter. So and so has "tweeted he's dead." "Is he dead?" "Do we know he's dead?" "Are we reporting he's dead?" No one ever thinks to put on Nickelback.

Considering the competition on national news, it's not surprising that CNN and Fox News both made errors reporting on the Supreme Court health-care ruling. CNN and Fox initially reported the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act had been struck down, then had to issue corrections, which came 90 minutes later. Here is the recap from the Poynter Institute.

See the article here:
HBO's 'Newsroom': Am I watching 'Grey's Anatomy'?

"The Bachelor"

"The Bachelor," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: You really think we've seen the last rose handed out? Not in a million years. ABC has already tapped their next "Bachelorette," and we know they'll have their eyes peeled for a hot rejected man from that spinoff to be the next "Bachelor."

"The Bachelorette," ABC
Status: Likely to be renewed
Why: "Bachelor" Brad's also-ran Emily Maynard is getting her turn as the rose giver for the seventh season of "The Bachelorette" this summer. As long as there are people willing to look for love on reality TV, this show will keep on trucking.

"Body of Proof," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: "Body of Proof" has been falling below its timeslot competitor, CBS's "Unforgettable," but it still draws a decent audience and its fans are very vocal. ABC has decided it deserves a third season.

"Castle," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: This show's ratings have definitely suffered without "Dancing With the Stars" airing beforehand, but it is a consistent performer. And now that Castle and Beckett's relationship is evolving, a fifth season of "oh yes they will" is a no-brainer.

"Charlie's Angels," ABC
Status: Canceled
Why: Not really a shock for anybody, but "Charlie's Angels" is cooked. Flimsy story, bad remake, questionable casting.

"Cougar Town," ABC
Status: Renewed -- for TBS!
Why: The Season 3 ratings weren't boosted much by holding this show until midseason, but ABC's wonky air schedule also didn't help ... which is why the news that TBS has picked up the show for a fourth season is huge. Cheers with your Big Carl!

"Dancing With the Stars," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: "DWTS" may have lost its luster in the ratings, but if the viewers are still coming.

"Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: ABC's new bleep-worthy comedy starring Krysten Ritter, Dreama Walker and James Van Der Beek is a funny one, and definitely embraces the quirk (Beek Jeans!), so we're excited to see what they do with a second season.

"Desperate Housewives," ABC
Status: Canceled
Why: After countless deaths, murders, betrayals and natural disasters on Wisteria Lane over the show's eight seasons, the ladies of "Desperate Housewives" will say goodbye forever this May.

Fay Helfer Asparagus

Pyrography technique

Driftwood Heart 01 pyrography, natural pigment and pastel on wood 8” x 15”

Onion Heart pyrography, natural pigment and pastel 6” x 24”

Originally from St. Martin, Fay Helfer received her MFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).  She uses a technique in her work called pyrography, which means “writing with fire,” a method of decorating wood with a controlled application of a heated point.   Looking through all her work, Fay has mastered this technique in everything from the hearts above, to stunning portraits, skateboard art, and even a handmade Game of Thrones ‘risk’ game.

I love the way Fay transforms the vessels coming off the heart, seamlessly blending the anatomical and botanical.

Gaius Charles

Friday Night Lights alum Gaius Charles is joining Grey's Anatomy for the medical show's upcoming ninth season, TVGuide.com has confirmed.

Charles, 29, has signed on for a recurring role, but details about his character are not yet known. TVLine first reported his casting.

Friday Night Lights' Gaius Charles talks about returning to the field for Necessary Roughness

Best known for his performance as outspoken high school football player "Smash" on Friday Night Lights for two seasons, Charles has recently guest-starred on NCIS and Pan Am and is recurring on Necessary Roughness as a more soft-spoken NFL player.

Seattle Grace lost at least two doctors at the end of last season with the exit of Teddy (Kim Raver) and the death of Lexie (Chyler Leigh).

Grey's Anatomy returns to Thursdays this fall on ABC.

Anatomical Venuses, The Slashed Beauty, and Fetuses Dancing a Jig
A heavily illustrated lecture by Morbid Anatomy founder Joanna Ebenstein, followed by afterparty featuring thematic music and specialty cocktails by Friese Undine
Date: Friday, July 13
Time: 8:00
Admission: $10
Presented by Morbid Anatomy 

Since 2005, artist, independent scholar and Morbid Anatomist Joanna Ebenstein has travelled the world seeking out--and photographing whenever possible--the most fascinating, curious, and overlooked medical collections and wunderkammern, backstage and front, private and public. In the process, she has amassed not only an astounding collection of images but also a great deal of knowledge about the history and cultural context of these fascinating and uncanny artifacts.  

This Friday the Thirteenth, please join us for a heavily illustrated lecture based on this research, followed by a thematic afterparty. In her lecture "?Anatomical Venuses, The Slashed Beauty, and Fetuses Dancing a Jig," Ebenstein will lead you on a highly-illustrated tour of medical museums and introduce you to many of their most curious and enigmatic denizens, including the Anatomical Venus, the Slashed Beauty, the allegorical fetal skeleton tableau (as seen above), the flayed horseman of the apocalypse, and three fetuses dancing a jig. Ebenstein will contextualize these artifacts via a discussion of the history of medical museums and modeling, a survey of great artists of the genre, and an examination of other death-related arts and amusements which made up the cultural landscape at the time that these objects were originally created, collected, and exhibited. Following, please stick around for an afterparty featuring thematic tunes and inventive artisanal cocktails complements of the omni-talented Friese Undine.  

Joanna Ebenstein is a multi-disciplinary artist with an academic background in intellectual history. She runs the Morbid Anatomy blog and related open-to-the-public Brooklyn-based Morbid Anatomy Library. She is also the founding member of Observatory, a Brooklyn based arts and events space devoted to the revival of the 18th century notions of the dilettante and rational amusements. Her recent work—which includes photography, curation, installation, blogging, museum consulting, lecturing and writing—centers on anatomical museums and their artifacts, collectors and collecting, curiosities and marvels, 18th and 19th Century natural history and, as the subtitle of her blog states, “surveying the interstices of art and medicine, death and culture.” She has lectured at a variety of popular and academic venues, and her work has been shown and published internationally; she is the current Coney Island Musuem artist in resident, and recent solo exhibitions include The Secret Museum and Anatomical Theatre.

We here at Street Anatomy are busy planning an exhibition opening in September 2012! We need your help finding The Anatomical Basis of Medical Practice, written by Professors R. Frederick Becker, James S. W. Wilson, and John A. Gehweiler.

This anatomical textbook was published in 1971 and received a lot of controversy for some of its content.  It was quickly removed from the market, but there are still a few copies floating out there.  We are trying to find a copy to use in our exhibition.

If anyone has any information or has one in their personal collection, please contact me at vanessa@streetanatomy.com!

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Ammunition, an incredibly talented Chicago-based burlesque and performance artist specializing in fire-eating and breathing, angle grinder acts, and much, much more.  As we were chatting I noticed the giant anatomical heart tattoo on her right forearm.  I couldn’t resist asking for a photo of it!

If your’e in Chicago, I highly recommend catching one of her shows, you’ll be left hot and bothered, both literally and figuratively…

"Grey's Anatomy" star Sara Ramirez is married!

A rep for the 36-year-old Mexican actress confirms that Sara tied the knot on July 4th.

"On July 4th 2012, after a year-long engagement, Sara Ramirez and Ryan Debolt were married in an intimate ceremony in New York. The private event was attended by close family and friends," the rep wrote in an email to The Huffington Post.

Last June, Ryan got down on one knee and popped the question to Sara in Paris, France.

At the time, witnesses described the romantic exchange that took place when Ryan proposed. "Her boyfriend came next to her and kneeled," a witness said. "He opened a case, and we just heard her saying, 'Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God,' and seconds later, a really big 'Yes!'"

Then Sara gave Ryan a big hug. "She looked several times at her ring," the onlooker added.

Congratulations to Sara and Ryan!!!!

THIS is what I always imagined “street anatomy” to be—giant anatomical figures on buildings.  Street art collective CYRCLE. made up of a trio of artists with backgrounds in fine art, graffiti, and design, created this incredible mural in the Culver City Arts District, California in 2011.  The mural, spearheaded by Branded Arts, took four days to execute and continues their exploration into life and death from an earlier exhibition titled, We Never Die.

If you are in or around London this summer I highly suggest going to the Damien Hirst exhibit at the Tate Modern, on from April 4—September 9, 2012.  A few of my favorite anatomically themed pieces are shown above: Hymn (199–2005) and Anatomy of an Angel (2008).  Others I couldn’t sneak photos of were Trinity—Pharmacology, Physiology, Pathology (2000) and of course, For the Love of God (2007).

This is considered to be the first major overview of Hirst’s work in London and it’s a wonderful chance to see the development of his career.  You can see the absolute precision and opulence build as you go through all 14 rooms of his work.

A few favorite quotes from Hirst throughout the exhibition:

“In an artwork, I always try to say something and deny it at the same time.”

“I just want to celebrate life by saying to hell with death.”

“There [are] four important things in life: religion, love, art and science.  At their best, they’re all just tools to help you find a path through the darkness. None of them really work that well, but they help. Of them all, science seems to be the one right now. Like religion, it provides the glimmer of hope that maybe it will be all right in the end…”
