Ozzfest is an annual festival tour of the United States and sometimes Europe (and for the first time Japan in 2013) featuring performances by many heavy metal and hard rock musical groups. It was founded by Ozzy Osbourne[1] and his wife Sharon Osbourne,[2] both of whom also organize each yearly tour with their son Jack Osbourne.[3] The Ozzfest tour has featured bands of a variety of genres within heavy metal and hard rock, including alternative metal, thrash metal, industrial metal, metalcore, hardcore punk, deathcore, nu metal, death metal, post-hardcore, gothic metal and black metal. Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath have played the tour several times over the years.[1]
1996–1998: Early years[edit]
The festival was created in 1996 by Ozzy Osbourne's wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, when organizers of musical festival Lollapalooza refused to let Ozzy Osbourne join the tour.[4] The tour was well-received, which prompted the festival to become a yearly occurrence.[1]
The first Ozzfest was not a national tour, but rather a two-day festival held in Phoenix, Arizona and Devore, California on October 25 and 26th, 1996 respectively.
In 1997, there were large protests outside of the festival to cancel Marilyn Manson's performance. However, no dates were cancelled. There were also protests of a similar nature in 2001, following the Columbine High School massacre, which some groups had blamed on Marilyn Manson.
In 1998, Ozzfest ventured outside the United States for the first time into the United Kingdom, which featured a different lineup of bands. The festival would eventually return to the UK in 2001[5] and 2002.[6]
2000–2006: Commercial success[edit]
In the early 2000s, artists and bands including Slipknot, Pantera, Marilyn Manson, Mudvayne, Godsmack, Rob Zombie, Incubus, Linkin Park,[7] System Of A Down, Chevelle and Disturbed played the yearly music festival.[7][8] Two compilation albums of the Ozzfest tour were released, one covering select 2001[7] performances and another for 2002.[9]
On-stage footage of the Ozzfest 2004 tour was shown on MTV, as Ozzy and Sharon hosted a show on the network titled Battle for Ozzfest where they chose eight out of hundreds of bands to compete for a spot on the following year's Ozzfest. Ozzy selected one member from each chosen band to "tag along" on the tour. Each contestant had to complete numerous challenges in order to improve his/her band's chances of winning the contest. Occasionally, meetings would be held and certain contestants would be eliminated for various reasons. The person who prevailed as the winner and guaranteed his band's spot on the Ozzfest tour was Marc Serrano from metalcore act A Dozen Furies.[10]
At Iron Maiden's last Ozzfest performance, on August 20, 2005 at the Hyundai Pavilion at Glen Helen in San Bernardino, California, several negative events took place. During the first song, several members of the crowd, brought on by Sharon Osbourne, bombarded the British metal band Iron Maiden with eggs, bottle caps and ice after vocalist Bruce Dickinson allegedly ridiculed Ozzy's need for a teleprompter during his performances, as well as the Osbourne family's ventures into reality television (The Osbournes, Battle for Ozzfest).[11] During three of Iron Maiden's songs, the P.A. system was switched off, cutting power to vocalist Bruce Dickinson's microphone and then to all the band's instruments. During the concert, Bruce Dickinson can be heard accusing the festival's organizers of deliberately cutting off the band's power. On Iron Maiden's departure, Sharon Osbourne came on stage to make a few statements, telling the audience that she "absolutely loved Iron Maiden" but thought that the lead singer Bruce Dickinson is a "prick."[12] Rod Smallwood, manager for Iron Maiden, issued a statement shortly after the debacle condemning the attack on the band.[13] On a later Howard Stern Show,[14] In 2006, Bruce Dickinson commented, "Did I have a go at Ozzy and Black Sabbath? No. Why would I? But I do find The Osbournes TV series loathsome, and the whole cult of reality TV celebrities disgusting."[15] In response to claims that he had apologised to Ozzy for Dickinson's behaviour, Steve Harris stated "No I didn't [apologise]. What I actually said was that, if there was anything to apologise for, then I'd do it. But that was twisted around to seem like I'd said sorry — that never happened!"[15]
On February 7, 2007, it was announced that tickets to Ozzfest 2007 would be offered free of charge, dubbing the 2007 Ozzfest as "free fest."[16] Tickets were made available through sponsor websites, the Ozzfest web site and to those buying an advance copy of Ozzy Osbourne's new release, Black Rain.
Sponsorship money provided the revenue for the tour, but organizers did not pay any of the bands appearing. Ozzy Osbourne returned to the headlining slot on the tour after being absent from the 2006 tour. Ozzfest 2007 featured well-established acts such as Lamb of God, Static X, and Hatebreed.
There were problems with distribution of the free tickets. Fans were given codes to receive tickets through the official Ozzfest website, but due to the heavy load on Live Nation's secure servers, there were issues with ticket redemption. Another problem was that many "eBay scalpers" charged fans to pay for the free tickets, often turning out to be unusable duplicates of other tickets.[17] Then, on July 26, Ozzfest gave away free tickets without requiring its "redemption code" previously required.[18]
At the August 16, 2007 show in Holmdel, New Jersey at the PNC Bank Arts Center, controversy was generated as 83 attendees were arrested at the show, most of them underage and arrested prior to 8:00. In addition, two men died, one after overdosing on alcohol and energy drinks.[19] A third was unable to close his eyes for 4 days after consuming 12 Red Bull cans.[citation needed] As of August 18, drinking in the parking lot was banned at the PNC Bank Arts Center.[citation needed]
Questions over whether the event would be held in 2008 began when in April that year Ozzy Osbourne announced that he would be headlining the Canadian Monsters of Rock festival.[20] The 2008 version of the festival took place for only one date at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas on August 9, 2008. The line-up featured Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne as the headliner bands, as well as other acts such as Jonathan Davis (frontman of Korn), Sevendust, DevilDriver, Serj Tankian (frontman of System of a Down), Cavalera Conspiracy, Shadows Fall, Apocalyptica and In This Moment.[21][22] Along with the two main stages was a third, named the Texas Stage, which, according to Sharon Osbourne, featured such Texas-based bands as The Sword, Drowning Pool, Goatwhore, Soilent Green and Rigor Mortis.[23][24]
The Canadian Version of "The Monsters of Rock" was held exclusively on July 26, 2008 at the McMahon Stadium located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It was also scheduled as a "one time only" event. The main attraction for the festival of heavy metal and mayhem were metal giants Judas Priest and the headliner, Ozzy Osbourne. In addition, various other "big league" heavy metal outfits attended the festivities. The following bands preceded the two main attractions: Serj Tankian, Hatebreed, Cavalera Conspiracy (featuring current frontman of Soulfly, Max Cavalera), Shadows Fall, Canadian metal unit Voivod, Testament, 3 Inches of Blood, Priestess, Zimmers Hole, and Dillinger Escape Plan.
- Main Stage[25]

- Monster Energy Second Stage
Black Label Society (Cancelled in Mansfield & Camden and Bristow due to inclement weather.), Drowning Pool (Cancelled in Mansfield due to inclement weather.), Kingdom of Sorrow (NOTE: Exodus played instead on the San Bernardino date), Goatwhore (canceled on the Hartford date due to a medical emergency with their bassist), Skeletonwitch, Saviours, Kataklysm (Cancelled in Mansfield due to inclement weather.), California Wildebeest (San Bernardino date only), Immune (San Bernardino date only). The guitar prodigy Yuto Miyazawa was invited by Ozzy to play "Crazy Train" at the event.
On October 19, 2012, it was announced that Ozzfest will be revived on May 11–12, 2013 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan; this will be the first time the festival has taken place in that country.[26][27] Acts confirmed for the Ozzfest Japan include Slipknot, Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, Deftones, Black Sabbath, Tool and Stone Sour.[28][29]

I like these boots there nice and light not good in mud though

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ty24 Most comfortable boots
I am highly satisfied in choosing these boots. These are my first pair of snake proof boots and I love them. Very comfortable and they don't make my feet sweat. Read the reviews on them and I was reserved in buying them online due to the comments saying the boots were tight around the calves. I am a bigger guy and have big calves so I figured I would try them on in store before I purchased them. I tied them on and had no problem with the zipper going all the way up and could even tuck my pants in them! The guys who wrote the the reviews must be huge guys!

Comfortable boot and snake proof. Boot was only water proof for about 2 weeks though. After the boots broke in, they became as waterproof as flip flops. after a years worth of use, the tab on the zipper that you hold to zip the boots up and down broke off of both boots. i still use the boots for scouting dry spots but would not use them for any wet spots.

For a review that rates the camera so highly, the wording is such that virtually every statement is "it does this well BUT" and then a demerit of some type. Reading it, I get the distinct impression the reviewer didn't like the camera. I've owned a number of Nikons and just added this to my group. I find it to be an excellent choice!
Perhaps the reviewer is like so many people on the Internet - even the slightest difference is rated as something barely tolerable. His comment about not being able to use the command dial in menus is a perfect example. Is it really that much more trouble to use the cursor?
Every single feature is treated this way. It works BUT it could have been better. It makes the review seem very negative and had I read it before purchasing, it might have influenced me to look at another body. I have a good amount of money in Nikon mount lenses, so that helps me make decisions. I don't want fanboy reviews but this sort of thing is the worst.
Were you happy with anything? Anything?

154 loboy infoHELP: I have a 154 loboy w/ belly mower,(just got It) I"ve seen other 154s with front plow blades & rear 3pts. Can these be added to all 154s or did they have to come with those options. Just starting to learn about my new baby. I also have a old (1959?) IH tractor w/ a front loader and a backhoe that I'm going to need some help getting info on.. Hope someone can help me out Thanks Larry
Re: 154 loboy infoYou can do anything if you have the money. There's a used 3-pt setup on eBay from hamiltonbobscubs that is listed for $745.00. This doesn't include the "selector" valve that gives true independent movement of the rockshaft or 3-pt. He also has the valve listed for $295.00.
As you can see, it gets real expensive real quickly . . . then you get to look for and buy 3-pt implements. Of course those don't "have" to be IH branded.
Re: 154 loboy infoHi Larry,
Before you buy a 3 Point be sure you need one. They are expensive. Also, be sure you can find the correct implements. The 154 3 Point 154 impliments are hard to find, and if you use regular 3 Point equipment you will need the very hard to find "Reverser" . The reverser changes the direction, reduces the speed from 1040 RPM to 540 RPM and changes the size of the PTO shaft. Good Luck Hamiltonbob for quality IH Cub loboy 154, 184, 185 parts visit http://www.hamiltonbobscubs.com
Re: 154 loboy infoAlso be aware of the lifting capabilities of the loboy. When it comes to using the 3-point with a disk or other implement it is easy to overload the 3-point and lift the front tires off the ground.
I have the 3-point and it is useful for the IH Tiller (which is designed for the loboy), a rear blade, 1-bottom plow, limited use of a small disk, carry-all and 3-point lift pole. Other than that, most of the loboy tools were designed to be underbelly or front mounted. 184 w/ Creeper & 3-Point
IH Model 15 Tiller
Re: 154 loboy infocan anybody post pics of the different implements used on the low boy 154 thanx steve
Re: 154 loboy infoThanks guys for the info, I have gravel driveways and I'd like to have a 'RAKE'( I think thats what it's called?) and a blade for the rear of my 154 to help with working on the drives, etc. **"A front blade would also be nice for snow duty" ** Thanks again for your Input guys!!!! Larry
Re: 154 loboy infoI have a front blade complete with all the mounting hardware for sale. I am asking $350.00 for it. Also, I have a good 3160 mower for $350.00. I am located in Southern Ontario, Canada.

I began writing The New Age Review in August of 2010 because my life was changing and I needed to share it with somebody. After years of spiritual searching I had stumbled upon New Age and it had surprised me.
The material I was reading excited and different and I wanted to talk about what I was learning. I also wanted to make other people aware of the wonderful resources I was discovering. And I knew that making a commitment to do that would help keep me on track and focused. The reviews and articles I wrote were, and continue to be, largely experiential. Sometimes they are experiential because the material triggers a new idea or approach. Sometimes, it is an observable agent of change or transformation. Either way, something happens. Not everything I write in The New Age Review is review in the traditional sense of the word. Over time, much of what I share is simply my experience as I struggle with my own spiritual evolution. For a while I even considered changing the name of the blog, But then it occurred to me - The New Age Review DOES review metaphysical resources very consistently. Some of these resources just happen to be the direct influence of spirit and the lessons the universe so generously provides. As my approach to spirituality because more and more experiential there will probably be more articles like that but I will keep the recommended resources coming as well. |

One of Texas' brightest stars took a hard fall in 2012.
Once considered a hero to many, Lance Armstrong is now accused of playing a large role in the dark side of a sport he loved.
The United States Anti-Doping agency accused Armstrong in June of using steroids and blood boosters during his Tour de France wins from 1999-2005. Armstrong repeatedly denied the charges and even filed counter-lawsuits against USADA.
Eventually, however Armstrong's lawsuits were thrown out and the cancer survivor said he would stop fighting the charges, but still his fans stuck by him.
Once Lance stopped fighting, he was stripped of his Olympic bronze medal, his seven tour titles and was banned from cycling for life.
Sponsors including Nike cut ties with the cyclist after the damning doping report from USADA. Armstrong eventually stepped down from his cancer-fighting organization Livestrong.
Now it's time to see if the man who built his career on fighting back has one comeback left.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick Leahy
United States Senator
Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy, That this Committee is meeting this morning when so many of us are trying to focus on comprehensive immigration reform, and other members of the Intelligence Committee are heading to the confirmation hearings on a new nominee to head the CIA, is testament to the misplaced priorities of the Senate Republican leadership. We are taking time away from making progress on comprehensive immigration reform and debating an important nomination in order to push through a purely political piece of legislation aimed at shoring up a faction of the fraying Republican base. We saw earlier this week on the front page of The New York Times a detailed report about how this proposed constitutional amendment is being used to satisfy the most extreme right-wing supporters of Republican politicians. The Constitution is too important to be used for such base, partisan politics. I agreed with First Lady Laura Bush when she told Fox News that this proposed amendment should not "be used as a campaign tool, obviously." But, obviously, that is exactly what Karl Rove and others are doing. That is why we only vote on such partisan measures months before elections. I have heard many people describe this amendment as writing discrimination into the Constitution. I agree. That is exactly what we are being asked to decide today. This debate and the Republican leadership's strenuous contortions to move this proposed amendment to the Senate for further debate shows how important it is to the Republican leadership of the Senate to cater to the extreme right-wing and to special interest groups that are agitating for a fight over this issue. They intend to stir up an election year fight and use it as a "campaign tool" and "a political strategy." At a time when the Senate should be addressing Americans' top priorities, including ways to make America safer, the war in Iraq, rising gas prices and record deficits, health care costs, stem cell research, comprehensive immigration reform and the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act, the President's political strategists and his Senate allies instead are actively trying to divide and distract from fixing real problems by pushing forward with this controversial amendment. This is a strategy to divide America, not to unite America. As a nation we are currently facing many pressing issues - the persistent deadly violence in Iraq; stunning investigations, indictments and convictions over government corruption; a complicated drug program that now penalizes our seniors; a burgeoning national debt; historically high gas prices, and on and on. This Committee has been conducting hearings but has yet to get to the bottom of the Administration's warrantless wiretapping and other programs that have been gathering information on Americans. The Senate had been debating comprehensive reform to our country's immigration laws. We need to turn our attention to reauthorizing the expiring provisions of the Voting Rights Act. But this morning in this Committee, and soon after Memorial Day on the Senate Floor, we are being made to turn, again, to a divisive measure that will do nothing to correct the weaknesses in our homeland security, will do nothing to enact a budget that is now overdue, will do nothing to lower gas prices and will do nothing to respond to the most pressing issues facing hardworking Americans that are front and center on the public's agenda, but not on the Senate's. As the Members of this Committee surely remember, proponents of the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2004, the last election year, could not assemble a majority of Senators to move to consider the proposed amendment. In 2004, we were warned that immediate action was required to protect the fragile institution of marriage, which was said to be under immediate threat. In the past two years, no States have been forced to recognize same-sex marriages. Rather, several States voted to amend their State constitutions to define marriage. The Defense of Marriage Act remains the law of the land. There was then, and is now, no imminent crisis that demands this political diversion of Congress's attention from all these other urgent problems. I have believed, and continue to believe, there is no justification for altering our founding document to federalize marriage for the first time. We have heard and will hear a lot of rhetoric about "judicial activism." The proponents of this constitutional amendment claimed that we had to pass it in order to prevent courts from inflicting same-sex marriage on the American people against their will. Does anyone really believe that Chief Justice Roberts is going to preside over a United States Supreme Court that will override State law in this regard? Ironically, the proposed amendment, now renamed the Marriage Protection Amendment, would itself produce a wide range of litigation that judges, the very boogeymen that proponents of the proposed amendment demonize, would be required to resolve. It would be judges who would be resolving the ambiguities and the meaning of this measure. The proposal we are being required to consider is exceedingly confusing and subject to interpretation. Its sweeping language will inevitably create uncertainty. For example, who would be bound by the provisions of the Marriage Protection Amendment - State actors, private citizens, or religious organizations? What would constitute the "legal incidents" of marriage? Can a legislature pass a "civil unions" law that mirrors its marriage law, so long as it does not use the word "marriage?" Can the people of a State put protections for civil unions in their State constitution? What State actors are forbidden from construing their own constitutions - the judiciary only, or State executive branch officials as well? I am particularly concerned about the fate of the Vermont civil unions that have been formed under the color of State law. Despite an initially contentious debate, this State law remains on the books after five years. There has been no ensuing crisis in the lives of Vermont families. It is not clear to me, however, whether the proposed amendment would make the Vermont law unconstitutional. In short, while the language of the amendment before us has changed slightly from the original version, it raises the same concerns. During the subcommittee hearing on this amendment, we received testimony that illuminated the problems with the proposed language. While academic discussion of the proposed language was helpful, I am still not clear where President Bush stands on this matter. He spoke more clearly this week on the elements of immigration legislation than ever before. I have praised him for that. But in connection with this proposed amendment, he is still having it all ways. For some time now I have been asking the President to explain what language he supports when he gives speeches on the need for a constitutional amendment. My letters have gone unanswered. So I must continue to ask whether the language that this Committee is considering today is endorsed by the President. I note for the record that the White House has not sent a representative to offer the President's support or concern for the scope of this drastic proposal. I remember a time when leaving States in control of issues such as family law was an easy decision for Members on both sides of the aisle. I am disappointed that Senators would endorse this broadly drafted amendment since it so clearly violates the traditions of Federalism and local control that many have claimed to respect and cherish. It reminds me of last year when we were called into emergency session to try to overturn very competent state courts that had thoroughly and repeatedly reviewed Terri Schiavo's medical decisions. What happened to conservatives who would oppose the federal government's intrusion on the prerogative of the states? The states have traditionally set the laws on marriage. They say what age you have to be to marry, whether you have to have your parents' permission, and so on. The states have done that. And what we ought to do is allow the states to do that. Most states are going to say marriage is between a man and a woman. My own State of Vermont, because of our Constitution, was given a question: Would we support gay marriage? Our State said no. We have civil unions, which give gay couples legal rights of inheritance and so on. In addition to my concerns that this effort will trample on State authority and responsibility, I am concerned that this proposal is writing discrimination into the Constitution. How will this measure affect American families that currently exist in this country who seek the protection of civil unions and the acknowledgment of their committed relationships? I hope that those who claim to care about families will turn away from wedge politics and scapegoating and diminishing others. Instead, we should join together to work on the many pressing issues already piling up on Congress's doorstep. On Monday evening, President Bush spoke eloquently about this country and our values. He emphasized something I wish that the White House and the Republican leadership of the Congress would keep in mind in connection with their efforts to demonize lesbians and gays. The President said: "We cannot build a unified country by inciting people to anger, or playing on anyone's fears, or exploiting the issue of - and here I insert "marriage" for "immigration"-- for political gain. We must always remember that real lives will be affected by our debates and decisions, and that every human being has dignity and value . . . ." As an American who has been married for more than 40 years, I am a great fan of the institution of marriage. I also believe it is important to encourage and to sanction committed relationships. I respect and admire my State of Vermont for the careful and civil manner in which the Green Mountain State has resolved this matter by recognizing civil unions. For all these reasons, I continue to oppose measures such as this proposed constitutional amendment, and I am saddened by the cynicism that sometimes propels such divisive efforts to the fore. # # # # # |

Frequently Asked Questions
About the Physician Assistant Profession
What is a physician assistant?
Physician assistants are health care professionals educated at the graduate level to diagnose, prescribe, and treat patients in a team with physicians.
What types of duties do physician assistants perform?
Physician assistants are trained to perform medical histories and physical exams, order and interpret diagnostic tests, formulate diagnoses and management plans, write prescriptions, counsel patients and assist in surgery.
How did the profession begin?
In the mid-1960s, physicians and educators recognized there was a shortage of primary care physicians. Dr. Eugene Stead of the Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina selected Navy corpsmen who had received considerable medical training during their military service and in Vietnam but who had no comparable civilian employment. In 1965 he put together the first physician assistant class and based the curriculum of the PA program in part on his knowledge of the fast-track training of doctors during World War II.
What areas of medicine can physician assistants work in?
Physician assistants (PAs) are found in all areas of medicine. They practice in family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, orthopedics, behavioral medicine and many other areas. Many PAs work in settings such as education, government, administration and research.
If I want to change areas of practice, do I have to go through additional training?
Because physician assistants receive a broad education in medicine and can perform duties assigned to them under the scope of the physician supervising, PAs can change specialties without further training.
What is the average salary for physician assistants?
According to the 2009 AAPA Physician Assistant Census Survey, the mean total income from a primary employer for clinically practicing PAs working full time (32 or more hours per week) is $93,105. The mean for new graduate PAs who have been practicing less than 1 year is $78,405. Income varies by specialty, practice setting, geographical location, and years of experience.
What does the future look like for physician assistants?
Our future is bright! According to The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2008, physician assistants held approximately 74,800 jobs. BLS projects that the number of PA jobs will increase by 39% between the years 2008 and 2018. Studies and reports from CNN, Money Magazine, and the Wall Street Journal all indicate a continuing rise in the demand for Physician Assistants.
About the Physician Assistant Studies Program
Why should I choose the Pace University-Lenox Hill Hospital PA Program?
Pass rates for first time takers on the NCCPA certifying examination have been consistently high. Our 5 year aggregate pass rate on the NCCPA certifying examination is 94% (in comparison to the 5 year national pass rate of 94%).
The Pace University- Lenox Hill Hospital PA Program is located in Manhattan, allowing students the experience of working with diverse populations in a culturally enriched environment.
Our curriculum includes:
- Cadaver lab at NYU School of Medicine
- Extensive instruction on practical skills procedures which include phlebotomy, IV cannulation, foley catheterization and suturing.
- Teaching associates (live models) are used for female and male genital examination instruction.
- Early interaction with patients during the didactic year.
Our faculty is experienced and dedicated to educating students with the goal of providing the medical community with well trained, knowledgeable physician assistants. Our program director has been with the program since the first graduating class. With most faculty working as clinical physician assistants they bring real life experiences into the classroom. Faculty clinical backgrounds include: primary care, internal medicine, emergency medicine, gynecology, behavioral medicine, critical care, surgery and orthopedics.
Is the PA Program accredited?
The Pace University-Lenox Hill Hospital Physician Assistant Program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) through September 2013. Our re-accreditation will be in June 2013. The program is a member of the Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA). The Program is registered by the New York State Department of Education.
How is the curriculum structured?
The didactic phase is 14 months in length. Students take a variety of medical science courses including Clinical Medicine, Clinical Applications, Clinical Anatomy, Basic and Laboratory Sciences, and Medical Pharmacology, as well as professional courses. Students also have some exposure to medical patients through scheduled floor experiences, during which they are given the opportunity to interview medical patients and perform physical exams.
During the clinical phase of the program students complete 8 required clinical clerkships and 1 elective clerkship in a variety of medical specialties. Electives are available in diverse areas that include neurosurgery, dermatology, plastic surgery, oncology, cardiothoracic surgery and many more. We also have international clerkships available.
What kind of degree will I receive upon completion of the Physician Assistant Program?
Students who complete all requirements of the program will receive a master of science in physician assistant studies (MSPAS) and a certificate of completion from Lenox Hill Hospital.
How big are the classes?
New enrollment is limited to 80 students each year.
When does the program start?
The program starts annually in mid-July
What is the program work policy?
Program faculty does not advise outside employment while participating in the Physician Assistant Program. Faculty recognizes that employment may be an issue that some students will face. Given this recognition, realize that Program obligations will not be altered due to a student's work obligations. It is further expected that work obligations will not interfere with the student's learning progress or responsibilities while in the Program. Working often interferes with learning opportunities during rotation activities. The schedule of clinical experiences and clerkship hours to be observed are set by the Program or preceptor and are not negotiable. The Program also discourages the student from working clinically at the same site where they are completing clinical experiences or clerkships.
Students who are involved in, or commence, volunteer or paid work during the course of their Physician Assistant training, cannot use their affiliation with the Physician Assistant Program in any aspect of that job. Work outside the Physician Assistant Program undertaken by the student, independent of the Program, is not covered by the liability offered for clinical work associated with the educational experience and students may not represent themselves as Pace University-Lenox Hill Hospital Physician Assistant students.

If I meet all admission criteria, does that guarantee a seat in the PA Program?
Seats in the PA Program are limited. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee a seat in the PA Program. The Physician Assistant Program Admissions Committee will admit candidates who meet the admission requirements, are granted an interview and present the best overall profile evidenced in these areas.
Is there an interview process involved?
A personal interview may be granted if admission criteria are met. During the interview applicants will be evaluated on cognitive capability, professional awareness, commitment to the profession, leadership qualities, service and community orientation, communication skills including verbal ability, personal and behavioral qualities, interpersonal skills, self confidence, motivation and initiative, professionalism, social support and coping abilities. Meeting the minimum academic requirements does not guarantee an interview.
If accepted into the program, can I defer?

What exams need to be taken?
Graduates are eligible to sit for the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE). Successful completion of this exam awards graduates a Physician Assistant Certification. This certification is required for employment on a national level.
What else needs to be done before I start working?
In addition to obtaining certification, students must register as a physician assistant on the state level. Each state has specific requirements for physician assistants and prospective candidates must fill out an application. PAs working in New York State need to complete an application through the New York State Department of Education. For more information, you can visit their website at http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/med/rpa.htm.
How can I get a job?
Although the PA Program does not maintain a formal job placement service, the Program receives requests from prospective employers throughout the year and happily passes the information to our graduates. In addition, students make contacts during the clinical clerkships, which assist in their job search.
How do I maintain my license and certification?
Physician Assistants must log 100 hours of continuing medical education every two years and take the recertification exam every ten years in order to maintain their certification and licensure.

Generaly, students holding a three-year degree should consider applying for admission as an undergraduate. In some regions, however, the three-year degree is awarded after at least 16 year of formal education, and recipients of such degrees are typically eligible to become graduate students at NIU. For example, degrees received through the Bologna Process are considered the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree. All other three-year degrees are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Andrea Loefke - Visiting Instructor | ||
Andrea LoefkeVisiting InstructorAssociate Degree Programs email@example.com (212) 647-7375 Manhattan Campus Manhattan 3 |
Personal URLhttp://www.Andrea.Loefke.comEducationM.F.A., Ohio State Univ BiographyAndrea Loefke, Visiting Instructor; M.F.A., Ohio State University; M.Ed., University of Leipzig, Germany; solo exhibitions include Michael Steinberg Gallery, New York, Islip Art Museum, Galerie Schuster, Frankfurt, Germany, PH Gallery, New York; residence and fellowship awards, Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, Studio Program, Smack Mellon, Brooklyn, N.Y., and the MacDowell Colony, Peterborough, N.H.; reviews and feature in Sculpture magazine and Artforum. …once upon a time there was a world: whimsical, humorous, credulous, intimate, alien, glittering and obscure. In Loefke's work, fictional narratives, dream worlds with anchors in the real, occupy a space between familiarity and fantasy. The groupings of objects and their placement in space become a journey of discovery. These fairy-like worlds are complex structures, resulting in playful, mysterious landscapes often with a strong sense of quite foreboding – the primary narrative holds a secondary within. She develops pathways for the viewer to travel. She links micro with macro worlds, the 2-dimensional with the 3-dimensional, encourages notions of irritation, and implied movement of the objects, and asks the viewer to relate oneself to the objects and the situations they present. Loefke's main interest is to cultivate our human ability to fantasize, freely associate, create, be irrational and subjective and to allow an all-embracing experience. Andrea Loefke is a German born sculptor/installation artist with a Masters degree in art and physical education from Leipzig, Germany (year 2000) and an MFA in sculpture from Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio in 2003. As a student she received the prestigious "Outstanding Student Achievement In Contemporary Sculpture Awards", offered by International Sculpture Center, Hamilton, NJ and published in Sculpture Magazine (Oct. 2002, Vol. 21, p. 56-61). This was followed by solo exhibitions at the Sculpture Center, and SPACES in Cleveland. After moving from Columbus, Ohio to New York, she immediately received a residency at the MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire, as well as a one-year studio residency at Smack Mellon in Brooklyn, NY. Already in September 2004, her fanciful installations were exhibited at PH Gallery – her first New York solo debut. A review on " When the green frog changed into a happy prince." followed in Artforum (Vol. Nov. 2004, p. 227-228). Since then she has shown extensively at different venues. Solo exhibitions include: 2005: "Ene mene miny mo", Kiehle Gallery, St. Cloud State University, Saint Cloud, MN; 2006: "Oh, do let me help to undo it", PH Gallery, New York, NY and at Galerie Schuster, Frankfurt, Germany: "Das muss gefeiert werden! Mit Krokant, Kandiszucker, Kremhuetchen,..!"; 2007: "Site Specifics' 07 – Inandoutthroughandabout", Islip Art Museum, East Islip, NY and "The squirrels, hedgehogs, and rabbits are indeed harmless", Michael Steinberg Gallery, New York, NY. Numerous group shows and reviews in Sculpture Magazine (Dec, 2006, Vol. 25, p. 77-78), Brooklyn Rail (Vol. June 2005, p. 19) and in one of the main German newspapers, Frankfurter Allgemeine (Vol. 190, Thursday, August 17th, p.48) have accompanied the solo exhibitions through out the last years. Forthcoming is a lengthy feature in Sculpture Magazine, published in their 2008 March issue – "Once Upon A Time: A Conversation between Paul Black and Andrea Loefke". During the summer months, Loefke will be a resident at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art in Omaha, NE. |

This was great-brought this to a summer BBQ and everyone loved it, especially the kids.
I made this for my class and my sons class at our daycare for valentines day. It was a hit with all. And a healthier alterative to candy.
good basic recipe not unlike many others I have tried. I did like the addition of the bananas. I added some chopped walnuts and put some crushed vanilla wafers mixed with a little butter on top of the whipped cream. I will use again as a base.
Just as it sounds. This was very good and it satisfies ones jello craving. This recipe is a keeper.
Very light and refreshing I added extra banana because I love it and used Cherry Jello instead very good
Yummy~! I used real strawberries, sugar free jello and Fat Free Cool Whip! This healthy dessert fulfilled my sugar cravings and is packed with healthy fruit! It was super easy too! Not just for valentines day, this dessert is perfect for a cool summer treat!

Metro Detroit continues relatively strong economic recovery
New data from the Brookings Institution shows a relatively strong economic recovery going on in Metro Detroit.
The Brookings Institution's MetroMonitor report has been watching how the country's 100 largest metro areas recover from the Great Recession.
Metro Detroit has posted one of the strongest recoveries—in part because the area slid into an earlier and deeper recession than most places around the country.
For the third quarter of 2012, Brookings ranks the Detroit-Livonia-Warren metro ninth overall in terms of recovery.
Employment has increased across most sectors of the economy in the past year, with manufacturing jumping 5.3%.
Overall economic activity is up almost 10% from three years ago, though it ticked up only 0.5% in the past quarter.
However, the unemployment rate has ticked up a bit over the past year. It now stands at 10.7%--significantly lower than the 16% peak in the third quarter of 2009.
But now for some perspective: these gains make a fairly small dent in the region's overall economic decline since the early 2000s—especially given the huge number of jobs lost during the last decade.
Even with the recent gains, there are now more about 12% fewer jobs in Metro Detroit than there were in 2004.

A security guard who apparently wanted to play police officer pulled over the wrong person Tuesday, according to Dalton police.
James Dale Smith, 58, an employee of J.J.K. Security in Chattanooga, turned on his strobe light and tried to stop a car on Shugart Road shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday, police spokesman Bruce Frazier said in a news release.
What Smith didn't know was the car was an undercover vehicle and the driver a Dalton Police Department detective.
On Wednesday, Smith was charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer and impersonating a public officer or employee, Frazier said.
When the detective saw the strobe, he radioed for a marked police car and continued driving. Smith, driving a white Crown Victoria with a "Police Interceptor" icon on the back and white strobe lights mounted along with police-style radio antennas, pulled up on the driver's side of the unmarked car and started to nudge his car toward it, Frazier said.
That's when Smith apparently recognized the driver, Frazier said. He turned off his strobe and pulled into a RaceTrac station, while the detective followed him and turned on his own blue lights.
He told the detective he wasn't trying to pull the car over, but he told investigators later that he thought the car was going too fast, Frazier said.
Smith was wearing clothing similar to a police training uniform, a dark polo shirt with 511-style cargo khaki pants and black boots. He wore a Glock pistol in a belt holster, along with a spare ammunition magazine and handcuffs in a holster. He also had his security badge on his belt.
Frazier said police don't have any reports of Smith attempting to pull anyone else over.
Anyone who believes they were pulled over by Smith is asked to contact Sgt. Daniel Nicholson at 706-278-9085, ext. 159.
