Despite the decent earning potentialities the career of a Licensed Practical Nurse possesses, it is clear to all that only a few LPNs end up their nursing career working as a LPN, while most others have the tendency to wear the revered title of a Registered Nurse (RN).
So, if you also do bear this praise-worthy determination to live the profession of a RN, then it is recommended for you to get yourself enrolled in an accredited LPN to BSN programs. Prepare a prefect cna job description resume now at cnaexcel.com.
Appealing Features of the LPN to BSN Programs:–
Gateway to seek for the Registered Nurse certification!
For your information, the BSN, in short, stands for Bachelor's of Science degree in Nursing; the completion of this BSN program will make the LPNs eligible to seek for a registered nurse certification. However, to tell you the truth, there are other alternative ways of acquiring the RN certifications.
As an additional note, let me tell you that earning the BSN degree does not really demands from you to become a Registered Nurse. You can still continue your nursing career as a LPN with a BSN degree with the only difference being the increment in your earning potentiality.
All the same, the Registered Nurse certification will probably be the right thing to do once you complete the BSN program. After all, the average yearly RN salary comes around an enticing figure of $74,000 as of January 2012, not to mention that the highest earning potentiality even leaps over the figure of $100,000.
LPN to BSN programs have shortened time period than the usual Bachelor's degree programs!
Speaking of the LPN to BSN programs, let me make it clear that these programs will be of an accelerated nature, which means that the time period for completing the bachelor's degree course will be a shortened one than the usual. Generally, the accelerated BSN programs will take about 2 and half years for completion.
Now, the good thing about these LPN to BSN programs are that they are designed in such a way that the LPNs do not have to bother themselves to study the nursing courses that they have already been acquainted with.
Most LPN to BSN programs will give the LPNs the choice to skip at least 3 subjects, in which they are competent and, generally, the LPNs will have to pass some tests in order to prove their alleged competency.
How to enroll into a LPN to BSN program?
Like I said before, the LPN to BSN program is, in fact, an advanced placement bachelor's degree program held mostly by the private colleges and the universities. So, in order to enroll in these programs, the aspiring LPN has to meet the requirements set by them.
Otherwise, the BSN program will not allow those LPNs to skip the essential nursing courses, which will mean that the LPNs may have to start the 4 years long BSN program from the first year with other students.

Tips for enrollment in the accelerated LPN to BSN programs!
Going straight from high school into a registered nursing bachelor's degree is time consuming and not necessary to attain the goals you have. (Before that have a look at cna job description and salary) A bachelor's degree program will take you about 4 years, during which you will not be working; not allowing you to make any income and not gaining any experience.
There are other easier and smarter ways to go about attaining a bachelor's of science in nursing degree, and the best thing to do is to start out by taking an associate's degree in nursing in college.
This will only take 2 years of your time and it is sufficient to prepare you for the NACLEX-RN certification exam that you will need to pass in order to become a registered nurse. Once you gain an entry level position and start accumulating some work experience, the next step is achieving your original goal of earning a bachelor's degree; only now you can do it much easier and faster.
With online rn to bsn programs, getting your bachelor's degree will take half the time and even less stress.
A common question is why is it necessary if you are already a registered nurse to pursue an additional degree. In nursing, there are many different levels, and more opportunities are available to those with higher education. Even nurses who have many years of experience can benefit in salary from getting a bachelor's degree.
Furthermore, a bachelor's degree allows registered nurses to delve into different specialties, like psychiatry, intensive care or diagnostics. It also helps them update their skills and learn about the changes and developments in the industry.
Also, it could prepare you for any future ambitions in management, administration or in pursuing a master's degree. And the best part is that you could benefit from company policy to receive help in your tuition for RN to BSN programs. Also Check out Rita Strong at Cnaexcel.com – She is a Registered Nurese who shares he experiences in her website..
Your program of study will cover many different subjects and it could take you up to 2 years to complete, depending on your program choice and your pace. Some of the subjects covered will be complex health issues, nursing leadership, diagnostic reasoning and nursing research as some of your nursing courses as well as almost half of your credits in general education.
And you have options to do it completely online. You can decide to study full or part time and learn with your web based videos and lessons on your own time around your work schedule.
Getting your bachelor's degree once you've already been certified as a registered nurse is a very good idea, even if you think your studying days are over. It will open more doors for your career, and even if you don't want to change positions, you could still earn more in your job with more education.
You can also explore new specialties and discover changes in the industry, and doing it part time from home couldn't be easier. Online RN to BSN programs really facilitate learning so there is no excuse not to apply.

Writing Off IdeasTaxation, Foundations, and Philanthropy in America By Randall G. Holcombe
Highlights | Synopsis | About the Author
Throughout the twentieth century, non-profit foundations grew tremendously and changed their orientation substantially. Early in the century, large private foundations, created by the wealth of entrepreneurs such as Rockefeller, Ford, Mellon, and Carnegie, directed their resources toward projects that could show tangible benefits, such as curing diseases, building libraries, and endowing educational institutions. Although foundations still devote considerable resources to these causes, increasingly they are funding programs oriented towards evaluating and changing government policy. Issues of international affairs, educational policy, and social and economic policy more generally have received substantial funding from private foundations. WRITING OFF IDEAS surveys the history and present status of foundationsfocusing on the ideas they promote and their influence on political and cultural society. The history of foundations raises a number of questions of public policy that WRITING OFF IDEAS examines in detail.
Of the many examples of politicized philanthropy, the Ford Foundation has been among the most politically-oriented of all foundations. In the 1960s, for example, the Foundation supported the Mexican American Youth Organization (MAYO) which was dedicated to furthering the welfare of Hispanics by supporting socialism. Members of MAYO frequently visited Cuba and disseminated pro-Castro propaganda to Mexican-Americans. And in 1967, the foundation worked with the then left-liberal Congress of Racial Equality to undertake a voter registration drive in the predominantly black areas of Cleveland, Ohio, when Carl Stokes, a black candidate for mayor, was running against white candidate Seth Taft. Following the registration drive, Stokes was elected. The foundation claimed that the registration drive was aimed at increasing democratic participation, evading the fact that the drive was actually a deliberate program in campaign politics, in this case targeting African-Americans to support expanded government policies.
More recent examples of donations with political ramifications include the Robert Wood Johnson Foundations donation of $30 million to fund anti-tobacco and anti-drug media campaigns supporting government programs, the Florence and John Schumann Foundations $5 million donation to establish a national organization to advance public participation in campaign finance reform and the Lannan Foundations $2.6 million donation to support the separatist Independent Traditional Seminole Nation.
Although private foundation giving has traditionally favored liberal causes, a number of influential conservative programs have increasingly been funded by foundations. Charles Murrays 1984 book, Losing Ground, for example marshaled an impressive array of statistics to argue that government welfare programs were making the poor worse off by creating incentives for recipients to stay single, have children, and not save for the future. At the time, Murrays book was highly controversial and widely criticized, but there is little doubt that it profoundly changed the nature of the welfare debate. As Murray relates in the preface to Losing Ground, the Manhattan Institute took a chance and decided to use the foundations resources to underwrite the effort. Without them, the book would not have been written. Subsequently, Murray took the position of Bradley Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, which is part of a network of organizations funded by private, conservative foundations. While there, he co-authored with the late Harvard professor Richard Herrnstein, another controversial book, The Bell Curve, published in 1994. Whether one agrees or disagrees with Murrays work, both books significantly influenced public debate over major policy issues. In all likelihood, neither would have been written without private foundation support.
Private foundations are financed by endowments from their donors, so once a foundation is endowed, it has a continuing source of financing and does not need to raise any additional revenues. The primary problem from a public policy standpoint with such funding is that foundation trustees have a tremendous amount of wealth at their disposal with little accountability. While they are legally charged with acting in the public interest, they are essentially accountable to nobody. In a democracy, governments are allegedly accountable to the voters. Business firms must satisfy their customers and stockholders to remain viable. Academic research goes through a peer review process before it is published, making scholars accountable to a broader scholarly community for their ideas. Those writing for popular audiences are accountable to the marketplace to sell their products. Even charities and other public foundations that operate from donations must satisfy their donors in order to keep funds flowing. But private foundations have an automatic source of income from endowment earnings, so they do not have to answer for the consequences of their programs, and their income will continue regardless of the merits of the programs and projects they fund. Should private foundations have to meet some higher level of accountability?
In analyzing Americas private foundations, WRITING OFF IDEAS examines several important issues about the way foundations are established and run:
As one generation prepares to hand off its wealth to the next, WRITING OFF IDEAS is a timely and relevant look at how tax policy can often frustrate the generosity of individuals who wish to leave a valued legacy.

'Juggling Everything, Expertly, Everyday'
Author; Rosie Gray
Most of us spend our working time juggling a multitude of activities and projects. Sometimes this can be frustrating because while we're undoubtedly busy, it can take an age to finish anything and move on to something new.
I'm often asked whether it's better to concentrate on one activity at a time or to multitask – and the possibly disappointing, but honest, answer I have to give is 'it depends'. Both have advantages and drawbacks – and we all benefit from developing the opposite to our preferred approach and increasing flexibility.
Traditional time management approaches typically recommend you single task, following a project doggedly through to conclusion before beginning another. And it makes sense – if you can immerse yourself in a project, you'll spend less time reviewing information, recapping where you were before beginning the next part.
The big advantage of single tasking is that some projects can be completed sooner than others, and so particularly where a project is going to be delivering additional revenue or savings, this could be a preferable approach.
Let's use an example to help me explain; If you have 5 projects to work on, and each will take 1 week to complete, that's 5 weeks of work. So if you multi task through the 5 weeks, all 5 projects would be completed at the end of week 5, delivering revenue/savings from week 6.
However, if you focus on just 1 project in each week, it'll work like this…
To make the numbers easy, and simply to illustrate the point, if each project delivered revenue or savings of equal value, a single tasking approach could bring in an additional 10 weeks worth of value.
So in the above example, if you focused on just one project at a time, it would increase your productivity, and deliver revenue/savings faster. Maybe you would benefit by taking on fewer projects at a time and completing each more quickly?
But how realistic is that?
Most of us are juggling the demands of long and short term projects, and fitting them in around the routine tasks that keep our organisations running effectively. And often what seemed a priority for action at 9.00am has to be dropped because something more pressing has arrived by 10.00am. We rarely seem to have a clear run at anything for very long.
In reality, prioritisation is a review process that goes on all day, as you constantly re-evaluate what is the best use of your time and energy at a given time. And with so many dependencies on projects, you're often limited by the progress you can make as you wait for information, materials or support from others involved.
In this environment, it's essential you multi-task, juggling all those activities simultaneously. Fortunately, many people enjoy constant variety and recent research even suggests natural multi-taskers may find it less stressful to handle constantly shifting priorities and topics – it's what they create after all.
So what can you do to be comfortable with both approaches & take the best of each?
Here are a couple of suggestions;
It can be surprising - sometimes we genuinely believe we have a lengthy attention span but in reality break it up frequently by checking e-mails etc. Notice what yours is and begin to build up your tolerance for focusing in longer chunks.
Try a new pattern to your day - perhaps quiet focused work for 45 minutes, then take 15 minutes for a stretch, email and a few phone calls perhaps, before settling down to focused work again. Most people find this energising, and it increases the amount of work finished, and not just 'ongoing'.

BioLineRx (NASDAQ: BLRX) (TASE: BLRX), a biopharmaceutical development company, announced today enrollment of the first patient in a Phase I/II trial for BL-8020, an orally available, interferon-free treatment for the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). The patient was enrolled at the Hôpital Cochin in Paris, France.
"We are also excited about the initiation of the Phase I/II clinical trial with BL-8020"
The study is an open-label trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BL-8020 in patients infected with HCV. It will be conducted at two clinical sites in France and will include up to 32 HCV-infected patients of any genotype who have previously failed or relapsed following treatment with the standard-of-care. BL-8020 is a proprietary fixed-dose combination treatment composed of Ribavirin and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), which results in an improved version of Ribavirin. The primary endpoint of the study is to evaluate the effect of a 16-week combination therapy with Ribavirin and HCQ. The study is specifically designed to allow intra-subject analysis, in order to determine the extent to which HCQ enhances Ribavirin's antiviral activity.
BL-8020 is an orally available HCV treatment with a unique mechanism of action that targets the host cell, and thus differs from other currently used anti-HCV agents. This suggests pan-genotypic efficacy and the ability to be combined with other HCV therapeutics as part of an interferon-free regimen. BL-8020's mechanism of action involves the inhibition of HCV-induced autophagy in the host cells. Autophagy is a mechanism by which cells degrade damaged or unnecessary cellular components, and is known to be used by HCV during viral replication. BL-8020 inhibits the autophagy mechanism and thus reduces the ability of HCV to replicate in the human cell.
BL-8020's safety and efficacy have been demonstrated in a number of pre-clinical studies. These studies have shown that BL-8020 has a synergistic effect with other anti-HCV agents. This effect on other therapies is likely to increase their potency and reduce the numerous adverse effects often associated with these drugs by enabling utilization of lower dosages. The use of multiple therapies with different modes of action is also likely to be beneficial for patients who have developed resistance or do not respond to current treatments and is a common practice in current HCV treatment regimens.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed non-squamous NSCLC.
- Clinically or pathologically proven Stage IV NSCLC.
- Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as >20 mm with conventional techniques or as >10 mm irrespective of scanner type.
- No previous chemotherapy.
- Age >18 years.
Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of 64Cu-ATSM in combination with paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab in patients <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study but will be eligible for future pediatric phase 2 combination trials.
- ECOG performance status 0-1.
- Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
- hemoglobin >9 gm/dL
- absolute neutrophil count >1,500/mcL
- platelets >100,000/mcL
- total bilirubin < 1.5 mg/dL
- AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) <3 X institutional upper limit of normal
- alkaline phosphatase <3 X institutional upper limit of normal
- creatinine <1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal
- creatinine clearance >60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (Cockcroft Gault)
- urine dipstick for proteinuria < 1+
- Adequate coagulation function - INR < 1.5 and PTT < institutional upper limit of normal.
- The effects of 64Cu-ATSM on the developing human fetus at the recommended imaging dose are unknown. For this reason and because chemotherapeutic agents as well as other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
- Ability of the patient to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have had prior chemotherapy.
- Patients who have had prior radiation therapy for lung cancer.
- Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.
- Patients with known central nervous system metastases.
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to 64Cu-ATSM or other agents used in the study.
- History of claustrophobia, since patients might not be able to tolerate 64CuATSM-PET imaging.
- History of gross hemoptysis - bright red blood of > ½ teaspoon in quantity - in past 6 months.
- Any concurrent or history of active malignancy in the prior five years except for basal cell skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
- History of thrombotic or hemorrhagic disorder.
- Anticoagulation at treatment/therapeutic doses.
- Uncontrolled hypertension.
- Pre-existing neuropathy > grade 1.
- Treatment with aspirin > 325 mg/day, dipyridamole, ticlopidine, clopidogrel, and/or cilostazol that cannot be discontinued.
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab are agents with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with these agents. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study.

"Suite" un Torre "Bed & Breakfast (qui, dans le dialecte local, signifie"dans la tour") est situé dans une maison de 3 étages construite au XXe siècle, récemment restauré, pour offrir à ses invités une atmosphère de détente au coeur du Pontone médiéval - le « Musée de Village » entre Amalfi et Ravello. Situé sur la colline et entourée de citronniers et de vignes, Dint' un Torre est juste un jet de Pierre de la mer. Un site unique qui offre la tranquillité et des vues à couper le souffle, panoramiques sur le ciel bleu, les vertes collines et la mer scintillante de la côte amalfitaine.

Whenever you plan a vacation, you always envision everything going exactly according to plan. Unfortunately most of the time that doesn't always happen, however, when my boyfriend surprised me with a trip to the Amalfi coast in Italy, everything exceeded my expectations, especially where we stayed. When my boyfriend and I arrived in Pontone we were exhausted so we couldn't have been happier when we got to our accommodations, Dint' a Torre, a cozy bed and breakfast owned by Antonio and Angela Palumbo who are apparently a distinguished and noble family originally from the enchanting Campania region of Southern Italy. They greeted us with open arms and even though they spoke little English, we had no problems communicating with them because their daughter, Maria, was only a phone call away just in case and her English is excellent. Maria did in fact offer us some great tips on where to go and what to see around the area. Antonio and Angela graciously showed us around the bed and breakfast when we arrived and then led us to our room which featured free Wi-Fi (my boyfriend still had to do some work while we were on vacation) as well as cable TV, a safe in the room (very important) and a very large (and super comfortable) bed! I really couldn't have been happier with our sleeping arrangements, it truly helped me feel as if I were immersed into the culture. The views from our room were spectacular overlooking plush green vegetation and the beautiful blue Mediterranean sea! Prior to us exploring, we were served such fresh food for breakfast that really helped us fuel our journeys. And as mentioned before, the bed was so comfortable, the perfect way to crash after a long day of wandering! What an incredible experience. I think if we stayed anywhere else I wouldn't have like the Amalfi coast as much. I highly recommend this B&B to everyone who seeks adventure, terrific views, fresh foods, a home like environment and an overall terrific stay in Italy!

Pontone is the most amazing little town! If you want to go back to the basics and see what Europe can be really like outside of the fake culture that's being so widely advertised. Dint-A-Torre is a great bed and breakfast service; it's super cheap, really nice and clean and it's just a one of a time experience to stay there. I enjoyed everything about it, and so did my family. I'm usually not the type of person to enjoy doing stuff with her parents but this was an exception. My parents made pretty good friends with the owners, too. You don't get that kind of a personal touch in hotels. We ate breakfast in there, it was homemade and delicious. There are places in town where you can have lunch and dinner, and they were pretty close, too. The Internet was fast and reliable, which was surprising actually. The bathroom was same as the rooms, clean and tidy. I would like to go back there someday but will have to save some money first, flying is sort of expensive.

The site is unforgettable, the surroundings worth a big detour, the abundance of fruits, veggies, ingredients fully consistent with the region's reputation. Antonio and Angela were terrific hosts, respecting privacy yet showing unsurpassed hospitality.

We have stayed in the Dint'a Torre Bed and Breakfast on the 30-31 January 2012 in Pontone-Amalfi, we had a wonderful experience of peace, tranquility and very relaxing, however what impressed us the most were the warm hospitality of Antonio and Angela the owner of the BB, which they have extended to us attentive service, and served us the typical Italian produce, such home made jams, freshly backed bread, croissants and other Italian traditional pastries. Of course the view it is amazing, overlooking the COSTA AMALFITANA, with serene and Blue Ocean, we were also fortunate that during our stay everyday we had clear and sunny days. We recommend to anyone to visit this special and divine place, please ensure you book well in advance as they are always full. Michelle and Antonio

There is nothing, really nothing that could have been managed any better during our recent stay at Dint' A Torre. Our two nights in gorgeous Pontone under the loving care of Antonio and Angela Palumbo were the very best. Too short unfortunately! If they will have us back - with the terrible teens in tow - we look forward to a follow-up visit. Best of the best! DINT' A TORRE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!

Happily, she has the 'horse' problem, we just have a mis-spent/appropriation of funds.

The states might just become even more crazy, I expect the Brits might still have brain cells worth rubbing together.

The man who slaughtered a dozen people and wounded 59 was obsessed with a video game that was anything but violent ... Guitar Hero.
We've learned ... one of James Holmes' classmates at the University of California at Riverside played Guitar Hero with the shooter all the time, and "for hours."
The male student is telling friends he is "shocked," never having had a clue that Holmes had a propensity for violence.
It's an interesting side note, because people with violent tendencies often act them out in various ways, and video games are definitely an outlet.
Another classmate of Holmes tells TMZ Holmes was never a trouble-maker. The two of them were in virtually every class together yet he was so quiet she hardly noticed him.
If automatic assault rifles existed 300 years ago, would the Second Amendment have ever existed?
This young man is mentally unstable....something Tragic had to happen in his life he had a promising future...SAD SAD SAD
The US Government is too worried watching for a Terriorist from another country, they really need to look here at home more.
Doesn't really say much either way though, as there is no evidence of any link between violent themed video games and real murder.
You have no business doing legitime news items. Yo cover Kim K's Lambo gift to Kanye and other tabloid ****. you are NOT journalists.
My Father told me when I was growing up, never fear what a man says, fear what he doesn't say; it's always the quiet ones...
We could probably go on for days speculating what might have triggered this man to do this. Sadly we may never no the reasons behind it. All we can do is learn from it, and take steps to prevent it from happening again.
We will most likey never know, nor understand, what caused this man to go off the rails. We can speculate. We can point fingers. We can blame. But it won't change what happened and it won't stop the next time.
they will blame the music on the game.no worries the liberal media will find something to blame
Well I guess that theory some people were floating out there that violent video games are to blame is out...
Unfortionatly these things never come with clear answers. A good movie on the subject of shootings is "Bang, Bang, You're Dead". It is more on the subject of school shootings, but can apply here. It starts the movie by saying, there is not really a type, except normally they are young white males (no, I'm not starting a race thing). Some are loners...some not. Some from broken familys...some not. They have a variety of different interests. The only thing they all have in common is they told someone of what they intended to do and for whatever reason, that person didn't tell. I'm sure glad I am not that person right now.

VeriSign confirmed today that its Kontiki [1] peer-to-peer content delivery unit has been spun off to MK Capital, with VeriSign receiving $1 million in cash and 3,980,000 shares of the Purchaser's Series A Preferred Stock. There's no valuation available for MK preferred shares, but Dan Rayburn says the deal price had been rumored at $40 million [2]. Reports of the deal first emerged last week [3].
Kontiki, which was founded in 2000 and acquired by VeriSign in 2006, keeps all its customers (including the BBC) and several members of the original Kontiki management team, including President Eric Armstrong and Todd Johnson, who was CEO of Kontiki and is now Chairman of the Board.
"We are very excited to be financing the expansion of Kontiki," said Mark Koulogeorge, principal, MK Capital. "The company has a unique and tested peer-to-peer (P2P) technology that addresses the need to efficiently distribute video over the Internet and private networks. The new generation of Internet users will demand video content in order to be engaged. As the use of video as a communication tool continues to expand, Kontiki's technology will be increasingly strategic to corporations worldwide."
Kontiki will be headquartered in Mountain View, California, with regional sales offices in Denver, Virginia, and London.
NewTeeVee [4] has an interview with Armstrong, who says Kontiki delivered more than 3 million videos last month.
"VeriSign bought us because they had a vision that I think was very aspirational, to build a three-screen business: broadband, mobile and television

Most Tuesday evenings in the summer, Marine Barracks Washington puts on a superb, free public event at the Iwo Jima Memorial next to Arlington National Cemetery. It's a colorful and impressive spectacle against the backdrop of one of the area's great monuments.
The parade, which starts before sunset and continues until after the sun is down, consists of two parts. The first is a musical presentation the Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Corps, also known as the Commandant's Own. The second part consists of a demonstration by the USMC Silent Drill Team, which involves formation marching while precision work with bayonet-tipped M1 rifles–all without any audible cues. [More information on the Sunset Parade and USMC Silent Drill Team].
Photography is permitted for the duration of the parade. The light is very low by the end of the ceremony, particularly in August, so it can be hard to get sharp photos towards the end. I'd recommend taking a longish telephoto (200mm+) if possible, since much of the action happens across a field (not such a bad thing with all that sharp steel flying around!). A monopod or tripod will help get sharp images with the combination of fading light and a long telephoto lens.
While flash is technically possible, especially with the modern zoom flashes that can project an incredibly long way, it's probably not recommended for the portion of the show for which it would be most useful—the USMC Silent Drill Team—since it would pose a potentially dangerous distraction to the Marines who are throwing heavy guns and bayonets around in precision drills. And be aware that many in the audience are veterans and families of servicemen and servicewomen—and the midst of several hundred Marines is not the best place to cause a commotion in an effort to get just the right shot—so please be considerate of others if you have to move around to get a different angle.

While there aren't many restrictions on what you're allowed to do, as such, there are some factors that make it a challenging event to shoot. By mid-way through the parade, the light is typically fading. It's hard to move around to a new vantage point without disturbing others. And much of the parade occurs quite a distance away in the middle of a field.
Marine Corps Sunset Parade Schedule 2013
The 2013 sunset parade schedule is:
May 28 (7pm)
June 4 (7pm)
June 11 (7pm)
June 18 (7pm)
June 25 (7pm)
July 2 (7pm)
July 9 (7pm)
July 16 (7pm)
July 23 (7pm)
July 30 (7pm)
August 6 (6pm)
August 13 (6pm)
If Tuesday evenings don't work for you, there's also a Friday night parade at the Marine Corps Barracks Washington at 8th and I . You can find more information here.
More photos of the Marine Corps Sunset Parade are available here.
Getting to the Marine Corps Sunset Parade
The parking spots within the grounds of the memorial itself are off-limits to the public on ceremony evenings, although there is often some parking on the street in the neighborhood around the Iwo Jima Memorial, but you'd best get there early to get a spot. A more reliable option is to park at the Arlington National Cemetery (for a small fee) and ride the free shuttle bus from the Visitors' Center to the Iwo Jima Memorial.
The nearest Metro stations are either the Rosslyn stop on the Blue/Orange line or Arlington National Cemetery stop on the Blue line. It's about 10 minute walk from both. The walk from and through Arlington National Cemetery is more scenic (and you can ride the shuttle bus back). The Washington Metro Trip Planner is very handy for working out how to get from A to B on Washington's public transport.
There are some seats directly opposite the memorial, but they're reserved invited guests of the parade reviewing officials. And it's hard to take photos from there without disturbing those seated around you anyway, so a much better bet is to take a picnic blanket (and picnic) or lawn chairs and choose a spot on the grass–there's plenty of room. There's little nearby cover for rain, although a grove of trees offers a little protection against light rain showers. The performance lasts about an hour.

Jewelry Care
With a little care, your fine jewelry will keep its good looks forever. The best way to clean your jewelry is by soaking it in a bowl of warm water with a few drops of ordinary dish detergent. If needed, use a soft brush where dust and soap can collect. Then just rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth.
You won't have to clean your jewelry as often if you put it on after applying hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics. Be sure to remove your jewelry before strenuous activities like sports. Keep jewelry away from chlorine and other household chemicals. Always make sure it is dry and clean by wiping with a cloth before putting it away.
To protect the beauty of your jewelry, don't keep it in a tangle in a jewelry box. Remember, gems can scratch metal or each other. When you travel, make sure your jewelry pieces don't rub against each other in your bag. Store each piece separately or wrap each one in tissue paper or a soft cloth.

Health Care Managers
As a result of the growing trend of seniors and persons with disabilities deciding to age-in-place, a new faction of professional health care specialists is also expanding to meet the needs of those who wish to remain living comfortably and safely in their own homes.
These care managers are known by many names: Certified Care Managers, Geriatric Care Managers, Health Care Managers, and Professional Geriatric Care Managers—to name a few.
The Health Care Manager (HCM) is generally a nurse or social worker who is qualified to provide personal care and recommend services that can make seniors' or persons' with disabilities lives easier as they age-in-place. The objective of HCMs is to determine what is needed in order to maintain and improve their clients' quality of life at home.
Care management includes duties such as the comprehensive assessment of an individual's needs, communication with families and physicians, as well as post-hospital and rehab planning.
HCMs will assess the current, life-circumstances of seniors and persons with disabilities and recommend or provide the services needed to make living independently at home enjoyable, healthy, more possible, prolonged, and safe. This includes developing a personalized care plan, arranging and implementing care services, as well as continually reassessing and modifying their clients' care requirements and needs as they change.
In addition to health-related services, HCMs can also provide general living assistance to their clients by being a source of information, locating community and social resources, managing finances, providing crisis intervention, reviewing legal issues, and giving referrals to other health care specialists. HCMs are often extremely accessible—offering services and care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The following organizations and their Web sites offer additional, specialized information on HCMs:
• National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers (NAPGCM)
• National Academy of Certified Care Managers (NACCM)
What current or future care challenges do you think you may face while aging-in-place?
How might a Health Care Manager help you deal with these challenges and allow you to remain living comfortably, safely, and independently in your own home?
Check out the upcoming issue of Home Evolutions' e-newsletter, The Forever Home, for more on HCMs.

Scientists have been studying the role of fire in Yellowstone since the mid 20th century and they continue to discover new information. The history of fire in this park and its benefits explain why Yellowstone's managers believe fire is an essential natural force.
The National Fire Plan
During the 2000 fire season in the United States, almost 93,000 wildland fires burned close to 7.4 million acres and destroyed numerous structures. Subsequently, recommendations were developed on how to reduce the impacts of fire on rural communities and ensure sufficient firefighting resources for the future. That report, now known as the "National Fire Plan", identified five key points that continue to emphasize interagency approaches.
The House and Senate approved an appropriations bill that included $101 million for National Park Service projects and activities identified in the National Fire Plan, including those in Yellowstone.

For the moment I opened he package, I could not wait to wear it. I wore it the next day to work and got many compliments. The color was vivid, and the skirt was very comfortable. I loved the skirt so much, I bought it in another color. The skirt itself is roomy, but it reminds me of the peasnat skirts I wore in the 70s
the shirt was so large and there was a lot of extra fabric, so it poofed out like a hoop skirt. The length was more Little House on the Prairie than maxi skirt. I was going to keep it for a bathing suit cover up, but it was too unflattering even for that.
This skirt was true to my size and is made of a light, soft material. The color was accurate to the color shown in the photo on the website. It also has an elastic waistband for a more varied fit.
The skirt was fine for the look I wanted. However I did have to pull out a lot of stray threads that got caught during the manufacturing of the product. This probably had happened on the factory floor and meant I had to clean it up before I could wear it.
I was very happy to get this skirt, and it was as pretty in person as on the website. BUT...the fit is WEIRD! I am not skinny but not a plus size, and ordered the XL. It fit fine in the waist and hips, and down to the first embroidered band. The band itself was for some reason cut VERY small--smaller than the area above--and barely fit around my upper thighs. Was very uncomfortable. All other areas of the skirt were loose and comfortable. But this tight band was awful, and I had to return the skirt and cannot recommend it. Too bad--very nice in all other respects!

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Virulence Is Mediated by PtpA Dephosphorylation of Human Vacuolar Protein Sorting 33B
Cell Host & Microbe, Volume 3, Issue 5, 15 May 2008, Pages 316-322
Horacio Bach, Kadamba G. Papavinasasundaram, Dennis Wong, Zakaria Hmama and Yossef Av-Gay
SummaryEntry into host macrophages and evasion of intracellular destruction mechanisms, including phagosome-lysosome fusion, are critical elements of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) pathogenesis. To achieve this, the Mtb genome encodes several proteins that modify host signaling pathways. PtpA, a low-molecular weight tyrosine phosphatase, is a secreted Mtb protein of unknown function. The lack of tyrosine kinases in the Mtb genome suggests that PtpA may modulate host tyrosine phosphorylated protein(s). We report that a genetic deletion of ptpA attenuates Mtb growth in human macrophages, and expression of PtpA-neutralizing antibodies simulated this effect. We identify VPS33B, a regulator of membrane fusion, as a PtpA substrate. VPS33B and PtpA colocalize in Mtb-infected human macrophages. PtpA secretion combined with active-phosphorylated VPS33B inhibited phagosome-lysosome fusion, a process arrested in Mtb infections. These results demonstrate that PtpA is essential for Mtb intracellular persistence and identify a key host regulatory pathway that is inactivated by Mtb.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Invasion of Macrophages: Linking Bacterial Gene Expression to Environmental Cues
Cell Host & Microbe, Volume 2, Issue 5, 15 November 2007, Pages 352-364
Kyle H. Rohde, Robert B. Abramovitch and David G. Russell
SummaryA central feature of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) pathogenesis is the ability of Mtb to survive within macrophages (MØ). Despite its critical importance, our appreciation of the interplay between these two cells remains superficial. We employed microarrays to conduct a stepwise dissection of Mtb-MØ interaction during the invasion of resting bone marrow MØ. Contrary to many bacterial pathogens, engagement by MØ receptors without internalization did not alter Mtb gene expression. Subsequently, a high-resolution profile of Mtb invasion-linked gene expression was generated by assaying the Mtb transcriptome at 20 min intervals up to 2 hr postinfection. Transcriptional responses were detected within minutes of phagocytosis, including gene subsets with distinct temporal profiles. Pharmacological manipulation of phagosomal pH and in vitro acid stress studies revealed that vacuole acidification is an important trigger for differential gene expression. Finally, there are marked species-specific differences in the response of Mtb and M. bovis BCG to intraphagosomal cues.

Efferocytosis Is an Innate Antibacterial Mechanism

Constance J. Martin, Matthew G. Booty, Tracy R. Rosebrock, Cláudio Nunes-Alves, Danielle M. Desjardins, Iris Keren, Sarah M. Fortune, Heinz G. Remold and Samuel M. Behar
SummaryMycobacterium tuberculosis persists within macrophages in an arrested phagosome and depends upon necrosis to elude immunity and disseminate. Although apoptosis of M. tuberculosis-infected macrophages is associated with reduced bacterial growth, the bacteria are relatively resistant to other forms of death, leaving the mechanism underlying this observation unresolved. We find that after apoptosis, M. tuberculosis-infected macrophages are rapidly taken up by uninfected macrophages through efferocytosis, a dedicated apoptotic cell engulfment process. Efferocytosis of M. tuberculosis sequestered within an apoptotic macrophage further compartmentalizes the bacterium and delivers it along with the apoptotic cell debris to the lysosomal compartment. M. tuberculosis is killed only after efferocytosis, indicating that apoptosis itself is not intrinsically bactericidal but requires subsequent phagocytic uptake and lysosomal fusion of the apoptotic body harboring the bacterium. While efferocytosis is recognized as a constitutive housekeeping function of macrophages, these data indicate that it can also function as an antimicrobial effector mechanism.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis-secreted phosphatases: from pathogenesis to targets for TB drug development
Dennis Wong, Joseph D. Chao and Yossef Av-Gay
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infects human alveolar macrophages and relies on the inhibition of phagosome acidification and maturation. This is, in part, dependent on the disruption of host signaling networks within the macrophage. In recent years, Mtb-secreted protein- and lipid-phosphatases protein-tyrosine phosphatase A (PtpA), PtpB, and secreted acid phosphatase M (SapM) have been shown to contribute to Mtb pathogenicity. Here, we review the current knowledge on PtpA, PtpB, and SapM focusing on their ability to interfere with host functions. We further explore how these phosphatase-dependent host–pathogen interactions can be targeted for novel tuberculosis (TB) drug discovery and examine the ongoing development of inhibitors against these phosphatases.
