A history of flight
Airport's humble beginnings led to coming of age
Click here to listen to Citizen Managing Editor Patty Kruszewski discuss this article on the Richmond Morning News with Jimmy Barrett on WRVA-1140 AM Jan. 10.
Editor's Note: This is the first in a yearlong, 24-part series examining the most significant events in Henrico County's 400-year history.
Although the Richmond airport was officially dedicated in 1927, its historical beginnings could be said to date to the Civil War – or even to the turn of the 19th century.
According to a timeline of Richmond aeronautic history, gliders were flown near the present-day area of the airport in the 1800s. During the Civil War era, Union and Confederate forces both employed tethered balloons near today's airport site to spot enemy artillery and troops and sketch terrain for reconnaissance purposes.
The most famous of the Civil War aeronauts, Thaddeus Lowe, made more than 3,000 flights in two years for the Union. Among the memorable Henrico conflicts he observed were the 1862 battles of Seven Pines and Fair Oaks, which took place in the current airport's backyard.
Lowe's balloon, the Intrepid, was superior to its Confederate counterparts because he had developed a portable rig capable of inflating the craft in the fields. Scorning the Confederate apparatus as a "fire balloon," Lowe filled the Intrepid with superior hydrogen gas using generator wagons. Confederate balloons, which could only stay aloft for half an hour, had to be filled with hot air at the gas works in Richmond and hauled by rail to the battle sites.
Spectator Sport
With the dawn of the 20th century, the Richmond fairgrounds (then located near The Diamond) became the area's first center of aviation activity. Airplane flights began to be regular occurrences at the annual fair; the rest of the year, local aviation enthusiasts used a landing strip known as Charles Field, in an open pasture located at the end of Chamberlayne Avenue. When residential development eliminated that field, local pilots used a small private airfield known as North Field – now Chamberlayne Farms – until that filled in with housing as well.
But it was in 1917, when Sandston became the site of wartime factories, that the scene was truly set for the airport's creation. With World War I came the construction of not only a large assembly plant for Curtiss Jenny training aircraft, but also a gunpowder packing plant. A small runway ran along one side of the aircraft plant, within half a mile of the current airport.
In the years following the war's end, says Tony Dowd, Richmonders began to awaken to the need for an airport.
"Local businessmen realized aviation was an up-and-coming reality," notes Dowd, who served as airport manager from 1957 to 1977. The businessmen instructed well-known aviator Roscoe Turner to survey the Richmond area and recommend locations, and the Sandston site was selected. In addition to flat terrain, says Dowd, the Sandston location had the advantage of already-laid utilities and land cleared of obstructions – thanks to the establishment of the WWI plants.
The Richmond City Council purchased 100 acres of land at the intersection of Charles City Road and the C&O railroad for $30,000, and leased an additional 300 acres, in March 1927. One of the first items to be constructed at the site was an airplane hangar to house the Spirit of St. Louis while famed aviator Charles Lindbergh visited for the dedication.
The airport was named the Richard Evelyn Byrd Flying Field in honor of Admiral Byrd, the North Pole explorer and aviator from Virginia who was the brother of Governor Harry F. Byrd. A newspaper account of the Oct. 15, 1927 dedication described the excitement as thousands of citizens turned out to watch a squadron of 15 army planes from Langley Field escort the Spirit of St. Louis – and cheered as Lindbergh, the airport's first official visitor, circled and landed his plane for the ceremony.
In the years to come, as air traffic increased, Sunday trips to Sandston for airplane-watching became a favorite local pastime.
Phony Airport
With the arrival of World War II, Richmond City Council voted to lease Byrd Airport to the U.S. Army for $1 a year, and the airport was transformed into Richmond Army Air Base. More than $10 million was spent to build and equip the new air base, which was used primarily for training fighter pilots. The airport's acreage and runway infrastructure expanded greatly during this time, and included a little-known addition that has since achieved a measure of fame with ghost-town enthusiasts.
During the war, military officials worried that the fighter training center might be bombed by Germans, and decided to build a decoy airport three miles east in an area known as the Elko Tract.
"They camouflaged the real fighter training base," explains Dowd, "and laid out an exact duplicate – with runways, roadways, taxiways, and major buildings." Details included streetlights, mailboxes, sewer covers, sidewalks and even park benches. In the event of an air raid, the runway lights and street lights would be turned on at the dummy airport, and Richmond and the real airport would be blacked out.
In 1947, the U.S. government returned the airport property to the city, and the fake airport was abandoned. (Henrico County attempted to claim the airport land, but the War Assets Administration ruled in Richmond's favor.) Over the next several decades, as vegetation took over the Elko Tract, the decoy airport became a hangout for local youth and a curiosity visited by tourists in the know. Most traces of the old airport were eliminated with the construction of the White Oak semiconductor plant in 1996. But references to the "Lost City" can still be found online – or heard in conversation with Highland Springs or Varina High School alumni from the post-war era.
New Era
When Tony Dowd arrived at the airport in 1952, he recalls, the facility had changed little from its days as a World War II fighter base. Officials from City of Richmond, which for decades had been shouldering the airport's $12 million development and operating costs, were finding it a challenge to fund needed improvements. And as airport manager, Dowd was finding it equally challenging to effect any change through city government.
"I used to knock my brains out," he recalls. "But it wasn't the people. It was the organizational structure, which made the city very slow to respond to airport needs."
Over the next decade or so it also became apparent that of the three most populous localities in the region, the City of Richmond had the fewest airport users. By surveying county stickers on the cars in the parking lot, Dowd was able to determine that Henrico County residents used the airport most, followed by Chesterfield County residents and city residents.
"So Richmond went to Henrico and Chesterfield," says Dowd, "and asked if they'd like to share in the cost of developing and operating the airport.
"I imagine elected officials at the time almost burst their sides laughing."
In 1974, city officials tried another tactic, introducing a bill in the General Assembly to divert personal property tax receipts on aircraft based at the airport from Henrico County to City of Richmond. Faced with the prospect of losing $300,000 a year, Henrico joined Richmond in introducing legislation to create a regional airport authority.
And with the formation of the Capital Regional Airport Commission in 1976, the Richmond airport was launched into the modern era.
The eight members of the Commission (four from Henrico, four from Richmond) were all aviation professionals, and working with them was like "a breath of fresh air" when it came to getting new projects, recalls Dowd.
Long-time pilot and aviation buff Neil November, who served as the Commission's first chairman, echoes Dowd's assessment.
"Up to that time we had a second-rate airport," he recalls. "The terminal building was pitiful – it was a Quonset hut. Things were pretty primitive."
November describes the Commission's early days as a struggle, with challenges that included transferring all airport functions from the city and assembling a new police force and transportation system from scratch.
"It was pretty ambitious, but we surged ahead," says November. Because Commission members were all flying enthusiasts, he adds, "there were no ulterior motives. We had nothing in mind except to make Richmond Airport pre-eminent."
In 1984, soon after November rotated off the Commission, the airport was renamed Richmond International Airport.
And although the airport has grown tremendously in the decades since -- from terminal expansions and a new air traffic control tower to additional air carriers, parking decks, and a multimillion-dollar renovation -- it would be hard to top the satisfaction November felt as the new Commission "surged ahead" and those initial enhancements took shape.
"The Quonset hut had disappeared," says November. "And we became a top-notch airport."
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.

Pixar's 'Inside Out' is a magnificent, emotional ride
Explaining the nuts and bolts of Pixar's new, exciting, innovative Inside Out – really digging into the film's shape-and-color explanation of the human mind – would take up the entirety of this review.

It's a complicated movie. So here's the gist, in as simply-put terms can be. > Read more.

Inside the locker room: Ben RoethlisbergerPosted by on December 12, 2012 – 3:43 pm
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger spoke with the media prior to practice on Wednesday.
Re: This weekend's game against Dallas:
It's a big one for us. As we know, and those of you know that have been around here, it's all about when you get hot and when you start playing good football. For us, the time is now. We need to start playing our best and try to put together a little run here.
Re: Talk about the team not being ready against San Diego:
I didn't see that from the people I was around. I sensed maybe a little bit of trying to get it energized and get it going a little bit. But I think everyone was ready to play. I don't think it has been addressed this week. I think you'll see from guys that have been around here a while, it's that time where you'll start seeing some leaders stepping up in the ways of how to practice and how to get ready for games. Hopefully, the young guys take some cues from that.
Do you think there is a sense of desperation now, especially with Cincinnati losing?
No. Every game for us right now is big, it doesn't matter if it's AFC-NFC, Cincinnati or whoever it is. This is a big one for us. We need to come out and play ball, and I don't want to use the word desperation because I don't feel desperate. I just think that we need to put it together and play ball the way we know how to play ball.
As the offensive captain, what do you say to RB Rashard Mendenhall?
Just like Coach Tomlin said this morning, we'll let him address all that stuff.
Does this season feel like it is atypical from how things usually are and turning the corner on two wheels?
I think that's a good way to put it, turning the corner on two wheels. But I think the turn is over. I think we're going to settle back on four, kick it into four-wheel drive and get going.
What makes you think that?
Just a feel. Like I said, it's that time of year that you're going to start seeing some guys that have been around here, that you're going to start seeing a different mindset and mentality that it's that time of year. In years past, it just is a natural thing. No one has ever had to say it because you've had so many guys that have done it before for such a long time that this time of year it's a natural thing and it's time to pick it up and go. We're going to have some veteran guys starting to do that and like I said, we've got to get the young guys to do the same.
Is that an unspoken thing?
It has been since I've been around here and we're going to try and keep it that way.
Re: Trying to find a rhythm last game:
I don't know if the rhythm, or lack thereof, last week had anything to do with injury. I think I did come out a little anxious, a little rusty, but we just couldn't put it together. From one phase of offense, one position, on any particular play, it wasn't like we had any two positions doing the right thing. It was one of those funky things, and I think we've got it corrected.
Re: Dallas linebackers DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer:
They're very good. Their defensive line, in general, is very good. It's kind of where it starts for them. We consider them defensive linemen. They get after it. We're going to have to put a special emphasis on blocking them and trying to take advantage down the field if we can block those guys.
Ware and Spencer bounce around from side to side, correct?
Yes. There's no way to know exactly where they're going to line up on any particular play.
Are you confident in G David DeCastro if he gets the start?
I'm always confident in the guys, no matter who it is. We'll get a good look today because we'll have some pads on and him knowing that he's going to be in there and be the guy, I think he may have a different mindset and mentality than he's had in previous weeks, where it's been more feeling himself out and how his leg feels out there. Now, he has no choice. He's going to have to be ready to go so I think today and tomorrow will be a big step to see where he is.
Re: Dallas QB Tony Romo being a high-profile quarterback:
He plays for "America's Team," right? [Laughs] I think the Steelers are the world's team. We just want to go beat them.
Was there any thought of coming out of the game on Sunday once the score became lopsided?
Not that I know of. And if Coach [Tomlin] would have said something to me I would have told him, "No." Doesn't mean I still wouldn't have been out, but I would not have wanted to come out, no matter what the score was. That's just not me.
Those reps helped you knock the rust off, right?
Yeah, why not? I want to be out there. I never want to quit.
How did the jacket you wore to protect your ribs work?
I didn't even wear anything different, other than I had a little bit of padding on the outside of my shoulder pads and that was little bulky, so I took it off.
How do you feel after a couple days removed from the game?
Normal Wednesday. No major setbacks so I actually feel pretty good.
Is there any concern that WR Mike Wallace's confidence is shaken at all?
No. None whatsoever. I've got all the confidence in the world in Mike. He's got it in himself and we all have it in him that he's going to come out and be great. There was never a second thought in my mind about it.
Did you guys talk after the first half?
I kind of unloaded. I laid into the whole offense, not just Wallace. I think we all deserved to get booed, which I feel like we did.
Re: Playing in Dallas against the Cowboys and not the Packers:
I just got done talking with the Dallas media and they asked me about my memories of that place. I said I don't have any, and I don't remember any.
Did you put that Super Bowl out of your head?
Yeah, that's right.
Re: Your first trip to Dallas earlier in your career:
That was a long time ago. I was talking about that. That's the old stadium and that seems like a long time ago. That was the last time we played in Dallas.
Re: Getting WR Plaxico Burress his first catch and his role moving forward:
It was really cool to get him the ball. I knew that play when we called it, we practiced it during the week, and I was about 98% sure I was going to him no matter what. I kind of forced it into some traffic but in typical fashion, he goes up and makes a play, gets hit and gets up. It was really neat for me. It was a nostalgic type of thing and for the crowd to cheer for him, I really enjoyed it. We'll see about using him as we keep going. I would like to. I think he's a great target and asset to this team.
Is that the type of play that only works once?
No, not necessarily because we have other options. But it worked out pretty well that time.
Do you think Burress is ready for a bigger role?
I do. I think he's been putting a lot of extra time in and work on getting himself ready and prepared and understanding this offense. I do think he's ready to expand his role.
Are you still talking to Bruce Arians?
What is about Arians that allows him to communicate so well with young quarterbacks?
He's a player's coach. I talked to some of the other Colts' players and they really enjoy playing for him. They respect him. They've got something special going on over there. It's really neat to see with Coach [Chuck] Pagano and all of the stuff they're going through.
Are you still playing for a player's coach or is the style different?
Oh yeah. I think we are. Absolutely.

I find it hard to believe that Ben was ever injured. Two things come to mind one his wife was about to give birth and two he didn't want to face Baltimore twice with in three weeks. Ben sold out his team mates and steeler nation.

Good luck on Sunday Ben, we know that you can do the job but you can't throw the ball and catch it too, your receivers and running backs must step up if we are going to the playoffs.

firstname.lastname@example.com…. seriously?? Do you even watch or know what football is? Yep he quit on his team even though several high profile doctors said his injuries were life threatening…..
I mean be a band wagon fan, but wow…seriously??

The way that boy gets banged up because the O-line doesn't want to protect him because he's the "Frachise QB" worth $102 million and the O-line feels like they aren't getting payed enough to protect him. It's a shame that Todd D. doesn't take a page out of the Miame playbook from the mid-80's, when Marino would do his 2 step drop and complete a pass. Now make no mistake, Ben no-offence, you,re not Marino(da) but it would be nice to see your offence turn in to something like that to keep you healthy longer. Welcome back Plaxico. They will need you down the strech, stay heathy….. I'm praying for ya boys, just do it and let it die…..
By Les on Dec 13, 2012 | Reply
rnation, What is wrong with you??? Were you expecting Ben to play with the injury just to prove he is not a coward? Thats crazy… He came back and looked good, I would expect nothing else. What good would he have been if he came back and had noticible limititions? I sincerely doubt you are a Steeler fan…

seriously how can you call yourselfs fans when you talk all that trash he was injured and ben never has backed down and i personally think his three superbowl visits and two rings more than proves that lets go boys take it all the way again this year
By Joe on Dec 13, 2012 | Reply
shut up ben is a beast.. and hes gonna get 7 this year and he dont fake injuries hes gonna throw for 300 yrds next game
By william on Dec 13, 2012 | Reply
I think it's time for the Steelers to get back in gear. It's playoff time, and we need to play like it. We need to have all hands on deck. Those that want to be with us, get on board. We don't have time for hurt feelings. Get out there and play Steeler football.

NEW 2015 Tennessee Radon Training
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It is released during the natural decay of uranium, which is found in most rock and soil. Radon is odorless, invisible, and without taste.
Although certain areas of the state have higher levels of radon then others, radon has been detected in every county in Tennessee.
Radon, like other radioactive materials, undergoes radioactive decay that forms decay products. Radon and its decay products release radioactive energy that can damage lung tissue in a way that causes the beginning of lung cancer. The more radon you are exposed to, and the longer the exposure, the greater the risk of eventually developing lung cancer.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, resulting in 15,000 to 22,000 deaths per year. Radon causes lung cancer in non-smokers and smokers alike.
Test your home for radon! There are no exceptions! Every home in Tennessee should be tested especially when you consider the fact that radon related lung cancer kills approximately 22,000 people each year.
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) operates a statewide indoor Radon Program as part of the Office of Sustainable Practices. We offer a myriad of services and assistance: test kits for homeowners, technical information for universities, and specific materials for targeted audiences such as real estate professionals, home builders, building codes officials, home inspectors, and school officials.
Our commitment is strong and our message is simple. TEST FOR RADON TODAY.
The National Environmental Health Association provides an updated list of certified measurement operators and mitigators by state. It also includes a checklist for consumers to ensure that they hire the certified individual that best fits their needs. The site provides training information for those seeking to become certified in measurement or mitigation.
The American Society of Home Inspectors website allows you to become a member of North America's largest, oldest and most recognized organization for home inspectors. There is information for home buyers, sellers, and professional home inspectors. You can also search for a home inspector.
The Environmental Protection Agency's website contains information about radon, air quality, water quality, and other issues regarding human health. The site covers a variety of topics and gives information about your specific location. An electronic copy of all the publications the EPA publishes can also be accessed on their website.
The International Association of Certified Homes Inspectors is the largest home inspector association in the world. They offer home inspection training via online and video courses that have been approved and accredited by dozens of state and governmental agencies, including the State of Tennessee. They offer an approved online Radon Inspection Course.
Kansas State University (K-State), as a partner in the Midwest Universities Radon Consortium, provides national radon services and projects for the US EPA. Our responsibilities include the National Radon Poster Contest, National Radon Hotlines, referrals to State Radon Programs, Radon Test Kit Orders and Coupons, Radon Mitigation Promotion, and other technical assistance and outreach activities.
The National Radon Safety Board's website seeks to encourage the highest standards of practice and integrity in radon services through the development of independent standards and procedures for certifying, approving and accrediting radon testers, mitigators, measurement devices, chambers and laboratories. It is an independent, nonprofit organization modeled on the American Board of Health Physics and is governed by a Certification Panel representing different facets of the radon industry, home inspectors, state governments, and consumer interests. Lists of certified testers can be found here, as well as training information for aspiring testers and mitigators.
The United States Geological Survey website informs readers of geology, biology, mapping, and water. The site provides maps of topography and geology, GIS maps, and weather patterns, among other things. The USGS site also offers some information about karst topography and it's relevance to radon.

Friday, February 7th (All times Eastern)
Florida Panthers (22-28-7) at Carolina Hurricanes (25-21-9), 7 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Florida Panthers will play their final game on Friday night before the Olympic break as they visit the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena.
The Panthers have lost four of their last five games, including a 3-1 setback to the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night. Scottie Upshall had a late goal in the first period, but it was all Red Wings from there.
Tim Thomas made 30 saves and Tomas Kopecky notched the 100th assist of his career when he sprung Upshall for a breakaway after the latter finished up serving a slashing penalty and jumped out of the box.
Upshall scored with 26 seconds left, but it was one of only two shots in the period for the Panthers and they had just six in the second one game after notching a season-high 48 shots in Tuesday's win over Toronto.
"They out-worked us," Panthers head coach Peter Horachek said. "Simple as that."
The Hurricanes also picked up a loss last time out, falling 2-1 to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday. Carolina had won five of six going in and saw a three-game winning streak at home snapped.
Riley Nash scored the only goal of the game for the Hurricanes and Anton Khudobin made 25 saves in defeat.
"It was a good hockey team and both teams played well," said Carolina head coach Kirk Muller. "We played our game plan, they just played theirs a little better."
Carolina is five points back of Detroit for the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference and will host Montreal on Saturday to wrap up a four-game homestand.
The Hurricanes have lost seven of their past 11 versus the Panthers, but did notch a 3-2 home victory over them on Jan. 18. Alexander Semin scored twice, Nash had a goal and Eric Staal notched a pair of assists to support 37 saves by Khudobin.
Marcel Goc and Dmitry Kulikov had the goals for the Panthers, while Thomas made 36 stops.
Florida lost for the third time in its past four trips to Carolina.

Overall quite a good event, even though I'm still highly disappointed that Sefo lost his fight. That headkick was so close to hitting the target and in the end it cost him the fight that he had in the bag already. Gotta respect the old man, still landing those heavy leg kicks over and over again, and the fact that he just wouldn't go down. If he only was 10 years younger...
Favourite fighters: Mark Hunt, Tom Niinimäki and Anton Kuivanen
anyone know what direct tv channel NBC sports is?

Hungry for Mexican food? Asian? Italian? Vegan? Vegetarian? Gluten free? And would you like all of it prepared with certified organic grains and vegetables?
Look no further — Palm Springs plays host to the most extensive, organic, vegetarian menu in the Valley. Nature's Health Food & Café offers more than 130 items on their colorful, quadruple-fold menu, and the only challenge is figuring out which menu item to order. Founded eight years ago by Jose Felix and William De La Campa, Nature's Health Food & Café features a full menu café and health food store in one convenient location. Prior to opening the business with De La Campa, Felix was chef and manager for the previous owner's café.
"I've been in the restaurant business since I was 17 years old," explains Felix. "When the previous owners asked me to run their business, the only request I made was to expand the menu. I wanted to give the customers a great selection of healthy food options."
Originally from Sonora, Mexico, Felix learned to cook when he was just eight years old. His mother explained that she was taking one day off from cooking each week, so he and his brother would need to learn how to cook for themselves. Furthermore, she pointed out, if Felix or his brother someday married a woman who didn't know how to cook, their culinary skills might serve them well. Felix admitted that learning to cook was a bit daunting at first, but he soon grew to enjoy it.
Both Felix and De La Campa have contributed recipes and ideas to their eclectic menu. Open for breakfast, lunch and early dinner seven days a week, the café offers a wide variety of options. The breakfast menu (served all day) includes scrambles, omelettes, burritos, pancakes, French toast, oatmeal and an acai fruit/granola bowl. Vegetarian meat options include seasoned soy "beef," tofu, soy chorizo, grain sausage, Un-Ham and Fakin'-Bacon.
"It's surprising how many people who eat here are not vegetarians. They simply enjoy the food," notes Felix. "Other customers come in because of health issues. They're a little worried that the food won't taste as good as what they're used to. Pretty soon, they bring the whole family, and it becomes a new way of life."
Lunch items include stir-fry entrées, pasta dishes, vegan entrées, gourmet sandwiches, flat bread pizzas, fajitas, quesadillas, tacos, vegetarian burgers, salads and wraps. A la carte items are available as well as specialty coffee drinks. Smoothies, elixirs, fresh juices, tonics and shakes are listed on two pages of the menu, providing customers with dozens of delicious, organic drinks.
"Our customers often tell us that they can't believe how many choices they have," says Felix. "Our business has really grown by word of mouth. We get people from all over the country, and as far away as Seattle and New York."
In addition to the café, which has small indoor and larger outdoor dining areas, Nature's Health Food & Café boasts a small but well-stocked market that carries vitamins, supplements, cosmetics, probiotics, bulk food items and specialty grocery items.
Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix until well blended and creamy. Serve immediately.* 1 teaspoon date crystals may be substituted for 2 fresh dates
Tofu Scramble Burrito Serves 2
Sauté chopped onion in olive oil for about two minutes before adding chopped vegetables and seasonings. Continue sautéing until slightly tender. Add tofu, stirring often until well blended with all ingredients. Remove from heat. In a cast iron skillet or large frying pan, heat tortillas on both sides — using oil is not necessary. Fill each tortilla with half of the veggie-tofu mixture, fold to create a burrito and garnish with freshly sliced avocado and salsa. You may also add a side of brown rice or beans, black or pinto.
Nature's Health Food & Café is located at 555 S. Sunrise Way, Suite 301, at Ramon in Palm Springs. Hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The program, which can be completed in four years, consists of classroom and clinical experiences designed to prepare students to provide patient-centered care to a variety of patients across the lifespan and across diverse populations.
A bachelor's degree with a major in nursing at Pfeiffer University requires a total of 125 semester credit hours of study. Lower division course work is composed of 70 credit hours that include liberal arts and nursing prerequisites. The remaining 55 credit hours are taken in the junior and senior years in the nursing major and are completed within the Department of Nursing.

Graduates are prepared to provide care in and across all environments as a generalist nurse.
Pfeiffer University's nursing curriculum is based on the caring theoretical perspective. The concept of caring will direct teaching approaches, student learning activities, teacher-student interactions and the climate of the program.
Pfeiffer University nursing students benefit from both the applied sciences and a core curriculum based in the liberal arts.

text: The On-Premise Silver Lining: When Restaurants Get Wine Right Evan Dawson February 2, 2010 Evan Dawson, FCG, Features 13 Comments If you love wine, you've probably had at least one memorably bad wine experience in a restaurant. The reasons for poor wine service are, by now, painfully well known to most – unknowledgeable staff, a wine list that's an afterthought, high price mark-ups, and other offenses. And, while bashing restaurant wine service seems to be in vogue, I'd like to switch it up and shine a floodlight on three restaurants that are getting it right.

The big fella's name is Wati Holmwood and on Wednesday night the 33 year-old streaked a mad dash across Sydney's ANZ Stadium in the last moments of a rugby match between New South Wales and Queensland.
Initially apologetic after his arrest, the Sydney Morning Herald described him as being unrepentant come Thursday:
"I'm sorry, I apologize about what happened. Am I in trouble?" he asked as he embarked on a 10km walk home once discharging himself from hospital after reportedly being sedated.
However, Holmwood on Thursday saw nothing wrong..."The game was a bit boring and I wanted to spice things up to be honest with you," the Kiwi-born Holmwood told New Zealand radio.
"Robbie Farah (NSW captain) wasn't performing so I said 'You know what? I'll go on the field and perform myself."
Northern Territory News reported that Holmwood had originally planned to streak a rugby match last year, but decided he needed to get in better shape first.
A family member, who did not want to be named, told the NT News yesterday: "He had a ticket to Game Two of Origin last year. He moved to Sydney because he wanted to streak at the game. But he didn't because he said he wanted to shape up first. He said he wanted to work out more."
Just imagine what we missed last year.

A BLAZE of colour filled the heavens above Kendal Castle as scores of unusually-shaped kites were flown during a two-day festival.
Hundreds of people turned out to see the skies above the central town landmark transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour.
The free event saw kites of all descriptions performing aerial acrobatics. There was a 16ft hippopotamus, flying dogs, super-sized fish and many more, all organised by SmileFactor10 and Kendal United Junior Football Club.
Event organiser Craig Harby, who attends kite festivals regularly, said he wanted to bring the joys of the event to his home town.
"I do it for smiles. If you get someone looking at your kite and smiling then that's why you do it really," said Mr Harby. "It's one of those things you either enjoy or not. It's a peaceful thing flying a kite."
Emma Whitanney, of Windermere, who was at the event with her eight-year-old son, Isaac, said: "It's fab for the area to have something like this. It's a really fun family day out."
There was also a Kendal United two-day car boot sale where a selection of kites, air toys, novelties and balloons were available to buy and fly.
Other activities included a bouncy castle, face painting, children's play area and a BMX track.
Proceeds from the kite extravaganza will go towards Kendal's Junior Football Club.
Anyone with photographs from the day should send them to email@example.com for a chance of winning a seven-foot delta flow tail kite.
BBC Radio 1 DJ's Chris Moyles and Greg James are packing their bags early and taking their shows to Carlisle a week before Radio 1's Big Weekend.

Greg James adds: "I'm really looking forward to this year's Big Weekend and to bring my show live from Carlisle. Chris and I will be out and about meeting the locals during the week and I'm hoping we can experience the best of the city!"

Missing photos troubleshooting
Although many of these troubleshooting steps may apply to Mac users, they're built out specific to Windows. Mac users, please visit the Picasa for Mac Help Forum for troubleshooting assistance. There you'll find help from Google Guides and our most knowledgable users.
If your photos or folders are missing in Picasa, please walk though the following troubleshooting steps:Step 1: Make sure your file type is being detected
- In Picasa, click the Tools menu.
- Select Options.
- Click the File Types tab.
- Verify that you've selected the checkboxes for all the formats you'd like Picasa to display. See our list of supported file types.
- Click OK.
Check the Folder Manager, accessible from the Tools menu. An eye next to your folder means that Picasa is watching it for changes. If you see a red X, or a green checkmark, select the 'Scan Always' option to watch the folder.
Picasa won't show any files or folders that have been marked hidden in Windows. To see if a folder is hidden, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the folder in question on your computer.
- Right-click the folder or file.
- Select Properties. The 'Hidden' checkbox must be deselected in order for Picasa to access content in the folder or file.
- Repeat the above steps for every folder in the file path. For example, if your photo is stored at C:\Documents and Settings\fredflintstone\My Documents\My Pictures, you'll need to ensure that each of these folders (Documents and Settings, fredflintstone, My Documents, and My Pictures) is not hidden.
If your filenames appear in light gray in Windows Explorer, that means they're hidden.
Picasa filters out photos smaller than 250 x 250. Click the View menu and select Small Pictures if you'd like to include them in your Picasa Library.
If Picasa won't recognize photos you have stored on a network drive, please make sure that your connection is secure. If you continue to experience difficulties, you may want to consider storing your photos on your local hard drive instead.
Not everything will be automatically placed in your Folders collection. Folders containing items other than digital photos may be in the 'Other Stuff' collection. Likewise, your Folder List contains collections like 'Projects,' 'Downloaded Albums,' and 'Exported Pictures' which may also house your photos.
Picasa will not scan folders that contain the following terms:
- windows
- winnt
- temp
- Program Files
- Originals
Additionally, Picasa will not display folders or individual files that begin with a period. Consequently a folder like '.picasaoriginals' is filtered from displaying in Picasa.
If a normally visible photo is in a filtered folder, move it to another folder to let Picasa access it.
If you deleted your photos, the deleted images may be available for restoration in your Recycle Bin.
Oddities in the placement and appearance of your photos can also be caused by a damaged photo database. Your Picasa database stores information about your file, including the location and organization. Rebuild your database to resolve many image viewing issues.

Everything else is meaningless - Dr. D killed it.
*Note: How is saying Miz's face turn is stale, accurate when Miz has been stale for the past 2 years and the only thing about his character to change is the fact that he's more likely to side with John Cena and Randy Orton in an argument than he would with Punk and Ziggler? There have been 2 times I actually "enjoyed" Miz and his character in the past 2 years. (1) The WWE Main Event he did. (2) Miz the announcer. Outside of that, he has been the same, unimpressive character than everyone seems to give more credit to than he's actually earned; I blame this on people taking pity on him after he was blamed for the Series buy rate.

Animal garden sculptures bring a unique, natural look to the backyard. We love to see realistic statues of bears, tigers, and even giraffes in the garden but they can also look surprisingly well in other situations. One of the places where animal garden sculptures look best is in hotel gardens and lobbies. Statues of animals always attract attention because most people are fascinated by animals in some way or another. Whether one hikes through wilderness areas to catch a glimpse of bears feeding on salmon or would rather limit his or her wildlife observations to the local zoo, it's almost impossible not to be mesmerized by the beauty of a big, orange and black striped Bengal Tiger. It's likewise difficult to not be impressed by the incredible colors shown by a strutting male Peafowl or the massive majesty of an adult African Elephant.
When it comes down to it, most people like animals and can appreciate statues of members of the wild kingdom but those sculptures do need to show a certain degree of realism. Fortunately, all of the animals in our collection of resin garden statues were carefully designed to capture the wild and beautiful character of living, breathing animals. This is why our Lioness with Cub Statue looks as if it's about to come to life, and why hotel guests will do a double take when they see the stunning Zairen the Zebra Sculpture.
Browse our big collection of animal garden statues to see how you can welcome and entertain hotel guests with realistic, captivating animal sculptures.

People always side with the "victim" right away and it is always the police fault. Police said she was threatening, and woman/friend said she wasnt. And friends will more often than not stick up for each other regardless if they are in the wrong or not. Not saying the police are innocent, or vise versa...but to little info to accuse one way or the other.
Posted 11 June 2013 - 20:31
This looks like a classic case of police brutality. I can't believe for one second that the degree of force used here was justified.
Posted 11 June 2013 - 20:44
Posted 11 June 2013 - 20:52
You comment would make sense had she actually been stopped by the police while driving, which she was not.
She was evidently smart enough to drive a car. Every time I hear of someone getting out of there car when stopped, it doesnt end well. Regardless on whether or not you have a disability.
Exactly. There is only one reason to punch someone in the face and this is to hurt them. Hurting someone on purpose is not a requirement of restraining them. This woman was not hurt because she was resisting. If that was the case, her injuries would have been things like scrapes from sliding on the ground. She was hurt because she was ATTACKED while being restrained. There is not a single situation in which a cop should be punching someone in the face. That is purely assault..
^ There is never a need to punch a suspect repeatedly in the face. Cops are taught how to disable a suspect in seconds, without harming them or themselves. Punching should never have been necessary, at all.

Posted 11 June 2013 - 20:53
She had a valid license in order to drive the car, so in that respect, her hearing and mental status wasn't that impaired.
Posted 11 June 2013 - 20:55
Well, you are right about deliberately punching someone. If a suspect is resisting enough that you are punching them to get them to comply, I imagine a taser would be a better option. I was responding in general to controlling a situation with physical restraint.

That is not what the OP said. "Moments after the woman stopped the car, a police cruiser drove up behind her with its lights flashing." She parked her car. A police officer pulled up after the fact.
OP said she was pulled over. So she was driving and it sounded like the copy was following. She then got out of her car and was ordered to get back in. Which she did not.
For your second point, you never ever get out of your car... when you are pulled over by a cop. She wasn't pulled over by a cop.
Ok devils advocate time. First of all. Article says she had "Mental disabilities" as well as "hearing disabilities". While vision is the most important thing to have, you also need to be able to hear while driving, to listen for horns, emergency vehicles, etc. If she had mental disabilities, depending on what they were, why was she allowed to drive?
Secondly, you NEVER EVER get out of the car. The cop doesn't know what you're going to do, you could have a gun or other weapon and want to kill him. Traffic stops are probably the number one way cops die, so if she got out of the car he didn't know what she was going to do, and if she was mentally handicapped, she may not have been able to control herself.
Bottom line she shouldn't have been driving, or should've had an assistant or care taker or something with her.

There are different levels of deafness. Could be shes deaf in one ear?
Deaf woman who claims she was unable to hear the polices orders, yet "Graham was under the impression that the officer spotted her using her cell phone while driving." - So was she calling someone or texting?
Apart from that why call 911 if you can't hear what they are saying? A whole lot doesn't seem to add up here...
Posted 11 June 2013 - 21:14
What?! I'm sorry but you are really trying here. Lights should be flashing anytime a cop is actively investigating. I've actually been "pulled over" in a very similar situation. A cop was simply following me (not conducting a stop yet). I ended up getting to my destination (an auto parts store). I parked, got out of my car, and then the cops turned on their lights and directed me to get back in my vehicle. I did, and it was all over with without me getting roughed up. Imagine that.
What I want to know is why he was flashing his lights to begin with. Unless he thought she was drunk, there is no reason for a cop to be flashing his lights at a parked car.

News Detail
Kent Dance Ensemble 201 "New View"Posted Mar. 21, 2013
On April 5, 6, and 7, 2013, Kent State University's School of Theatre and Dance will present theKent Dance Ensemble's annual main stage concert, NEW VIEW. The concert will be performed in E. Turner Stump Theatre, located in the Music and Speech center at 1325 Theatre Drive on Kent State's main campus. Performances are Friday April 5 and Saturday, April 6 at 8 p.m., and Sunday April 7 at 2 p.m. A complimentary reception will take place on Friday April 5 following the performance. To reserve tickets, please call the Performing Arts Box Office at (330) 672-2787, weekdays between noon and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. General adult admission is $16; $14 for KSU faculty, staff and Alumni Association members; $12 for seniors; and $8 for non-KSU students with a valid ID. Tickets are FREE for all full-time, undergraduate students from the Kent State main campus. Simply show your FlashCard.
NEW VIEW is a concert of jazz and modern dances choreographed by four Kent State faculty members and New York City guest artist Linda Nutter. The evening opens with Nutter's farcical Rhyme Nor Reason, a sextet first set on New York University dancers over 25 years ago. The whimsical dance is chock full of non-sequiters and cultural references from the 1980s, as well as animal images and everyday pedestrian movement—see how many you can find! A trio of dancers moves through an athletic conversation using intense gestures and shared body language in Hidden Dialogue, choreographed by Kent State dance faculty member, Joan Meggitt, Artistic/Executive Director of Antaeus Dance, Cleveland. The intensely physical choreography requires the dancers to throw themselves through space and at one another. The first half of the concert closes with Assistant Professor Erin LaSala's quirky new trio Femmes Fortes, a high-energy study of the inner "superhero" who lives inside us all.
Following intermission, Artistic Director Kimberly Karpanty's new concert jazz work blends sophisticated wit with a vigorous, stylized vocabulary. Each of the five performers brought her own unique personality and movement flair to the work, fashioned as a reply to two tracks by Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. This season, the ten members of the pre-professional student dance company will be joined by four sixth-grade music students from Defer Intermediate School in Streetsboro for a special treat! Emerging unexpectedly from the audience, the Defer Dancers will approach the stage and perform short creative dances of their own derision, made in intensive after school workshops. When they have finished slithering, sliding, floating and gliding, the evening will close with Associate Professor Barbara Allegra Verlezza's vigorous "Monkey Brains and Paper Chains," performed by all ten members of the Ensemble. This spirited and dynamic dance explores the concepts of an indecisive, unsettled, and anxious 'monkey brain' complicated by the fragile or restraints (paper chains) that impede the ability for one to make changes in thought or behavior.
Please contact Artistic Director Kimberly Karpanty at (330) 672-0127 or email@example.com for further information on more of the Ensemble's upcoming performances and educational outreach programs.

Every year we look forward to the Designs of the Year exhibition both for the innovative designs and for the affirmation we get from seeing how inventive people can be. This year's selection is no different with 76 projects ranging across the fields of architecture, digital, fashion, furniture, graphics, products and transport.
Life-changing inventions include a syringe that should help stop the spread of infectious disease as it turns red once it's been used, and a floating school in Nigeria that won't be knocked out by flooding. There are practical designs for the Western world too including the CityMapper app and a tactile watch that allows blind people to tell the time.
Two environmentally friendly cars make it to this year's selection and they couldn't be more different, with the sleek Volkswagen XL1 a striking contrast to the aesthetically hideous, yet ecologically sound, ME:WE.
One of our favourites is Phonebloks where every component of a mobile phone is separate and replaceable, thus removing the need to upgrade an entire phone when one component ages of breaks down. We also enjoyed the use of LEGO to create an uploadable calendar that brings some fun into project management.
The layout of this exhibition is a significant improvement on previous years. It feels a lot less cluttered. Combined with a strong selection of finalists, this makes the show the best incarnation of Designs of the Year we've seen.
Designs of the Year 2014 is on at Design Museum, Shad Thames, SE1 2YD until 25 August. Tickets are £12.40 for adults, concessions available.

Can't stand the mess this fusion is.
I will hold back as long as possible to be sure to get the most tested and fixed migration experience possible.
We're losing MANY features with this transition. Ridiculous move.
If only they had given Skype more features before doing this.
They are?
Yaaaay, we're traveling back in time in terms of features.
Monetize everything!

Posted 08 January 2013 - 21:33
And we are back to the original argument. They aren't combined. You're just signed onto 2 different accounts with the same program. The WLM and Skype are separate for now and there's things you can't do with your WLM contacts in the skype client (like group chats with WLM contacts).
MS has already solved that problem, you just sign into skype with your microsoft account and it combines your accounts
Posted 08 January 2013 - 21:41
Well, I was still able to share screens without paying in April of 2012...
i think the whole having to pay to share desktops changed shortly before MS bought skype though
i know it's been like that for quite awhile now
That happens a lot.
any of you guys having issues with skype where the messages get delayed? like i'd be talking to my friend and i wouldn't get her message for minutes, sometimes hours later. it's really annoying.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 21:51
Well, I was still able to share screens without paying in April of 2012...
That happens a lot.
Skype is totally unreliable for text messaging, all it's got is syncing messages between devices and computers.
That's the only thing that's cool in my eyes. Apart from that I actually hate messaging in Skype.
It's even more annoying considering that messages get pushed to your device even though you're actively chatting on your computer so it goes "bing!!" and "brrr" all the time... Oh the joy...
It's even more annoying when your own messages get pushed in that way to your phone. And the push notification will say it's from the other person you're chatting with.
Open the app and you see the convo totally intact.
I'm telling you, Skype is so awful for text based conversations it's not even funny.
And it lacks so many features I cannot start to comprehend why Microsoft is rushing the merging so much... Oh yeah, they don't care about users who need fine control anymore on a broad scale...

The Starkville Academy Lady Volunteers may be a little sore going into today's playoff soccer match at Madison-Ridgeland Academy.
One thing the Lady Vols won't have to be worried about too much is the heat.
Starkville Academy opened the home schedule on August 20 against MRA and the heat index number was over 100 degrees.
The Lady Vols struggled to keep players on the field that day because of the conditions and ended up losing a 3-1 decision.
With the calendar flipping to October a few days ago, SA coach Robert Gardner expects a different feel for today's 4:30 p.m. postseason meeting.
"It should be about 30 degrees cooler," Gardner said. "(August 20) was a tough day and we had girls dropping like filies as far as not being able to handle the heat.
"We're hoping to get momentum for this week. We tend to respond well in these type of situations. I'm looking forward to the challenge."
After last Saturday's 3-0 loss at Jackson Prep, the Lady Vols stand at 7-5 overall and 4-4 in Division II-AAA.
It has been a tough season for Starkville Academy in terms of injuries as up to five players have had ankle issues at some point.
With four matches in six games, Gardner said staying healthy has been a concern.
"The truth be known, it has been hard on us and it's been tough to deal with so many injuries," Gardner said. "That was one thing we didn't have to deal with at all last year."
Even though they have been out parts of the season, Gardner expects to have Sallie Kate Richardson, Tiffany Huddleston and Bailey Clark available against MRA. The only player questionable is Jordan Jackson, pending the report she got on her injured ankle Monday.
"If it checks out and we get it wrapped up, she'll go if she's comfortable," Gardner said.
Despite the adversity that has crept up from time to time this season, Gardner has faith that the Lady Vols will respond in the right way.
"I'm always going to feel confident about our girls because I know we have a good team," Gardner said.
