An Unhealthy Sign for Health Care Workers? Survey Says They're the Most Stressed
Health care may have some of the nation's most promising career opportunities. But it also promises a lot of stress to go along with those jobs, according to a survey from CareerBuilder and its health-care-focused website.
Health care workers topped the list of most stressed workers in the United States, with 69 percent reporting that they feel stress in their current jobs. Next are workers in professional and business services, retail, financial services, information technology, leisure and hospitality, and manufacturing. Health care also had the highest percentage (17) of workers reporting that they are "highly stressed."
"Stress is part of the environment in many health care settings, but high levels sustained over a long period of time can be a major detriment to employee health and ultimately stand in the way of providing quality care to patients," CareerBuilder Healthcare President Jason Lovelace said in a news release.
RWJF Scholars in the News: Nurse staffing and patient mortality, communicating about vaccines, specialized HIV training for NPs, and more.
Around the country, print, broadcast, and online media outlets are covering the groundbreaking work of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) leaders, scholars, fellows, alumni, and grantees. Some recent examples:
A study led by Linda H. Aiken, PhD, FAAN, FRCN, RN, and covered by CNN.com, finds that hospital nurse-patient ratios and the share of nurses with bachelor's degrees both have an important impact on patient mortality. Aiken, a research manager supporting the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action and a member of the RWJF Interdisciplinary Nursing Quality Research Initiative (INQRI) National Advisory Committee, found that increasing a hospital nurse's workload by one patient increased by 7 percent the likelihood of an inpatient death within 30 days of admission. The same research revealed that a 10-percent increase in the number of nurses with bachelor's degrees at a given hospital reduces the likelihood of a patient death by 7 percent. Aiken's study has also been covered by the Guardian, Philly.com, and FierceHealthcare, among other outlets.
Public health messages aimed at boosting childhood vaccination rates may be backfiring, according to a new study led by RWJF Scholars in Health Policy Research alumnus Brendan Nyhan, PhD. Campaigns that use studies, facts, and images of ill children increased fears about vaccine side-effects among some parents, NBC News reports. In fact, messaging that debunked myths about links between vaccines and autism actually made parents less inclined to have their children inoculated. Time magazine online also covered the study.
The Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing has developed a new curriculum that provides specialized HIV training to nurse practitioners, with funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration, Medical Xpress reports. "The design of our program starts with the recognition that HIV care cannot be provided in a silo, that it needs to be integrated holistically into primary care," RWJF Nurse Faculty Scholar Jason Farley, PhD, MPH, said in a statement. Farley is the developer of the curriculum.
New Jersey Health Initiatives is the 'Face of the Foundation' in New Jersey
Robert Atkins, PhD, RN, is associate professor of childhood studies and nursing at the Camden campus of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, and director of New Jersey Health Initiatives, a statewide grantmaking program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). He is an alumnus of the RWJF Nurse Faculty Scholars (NFS) program.
Human Capital Blog: Congratulations on your position as director of New Jersey Health Initiatives (NJHI). What is RWJF's vision for the program and for the state?
Robert Atkins: Thank you. As the largest philanthropy in the country devoted specifically to health and health care, the vast majority of Foundation resources are, of course, targeted outside of New Jersey. However, New Jersey is the Foundation's home state. Consequently, the Foundation has a history and connection to New Jersey that is distinctly different from other states and reflected in the kinds of grants made by the Foundation that benefit individuals, communities, and institutions in New Jersey. Although NJHI is only one facet of the Foundation's philanthropy in the state, as the only national program office of the Foundation that focuses on a state, NJHI is "the face of the Foundation in New Jersey."
The Foundation's vision for NJHI and its other New Jersey or "backyard" grants is that they reflect the very best of what the Foundation can do to improve health and health care. I think this tradition of meeting the Foundation's highest standards of excellence is evident in the legacy of NJHI, and it is a tradition that I feel privileged to sustain and improve upon.
Sharing Nursing's Knowledge: The February 2014 Issue
Have you signed up to receive Sharing Nursing's Knowledge? The monthly Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) e-newsletter will keep you up to date on the work of the Foundation's nursing programs, and the latest news, research, and trends relating to academic progression, leadership, and other essential nursing issues. Following are some of the stories in the February issue.
Preparing Nurses for Leadership in Public Policy
Many nurse education programs, including those that confer doctoral degrees, fall short in educating nurses about public policy, leaving them unprepared to maximize their expertise in policy arenas. To help change that, the RWJF Nursing and Health Policy Collaborative at the University of New Mexico hosted a recent conference that brought together leading nurse educators, public policy experts, social scientists, and others. The goal was to identify and share effective ways to prepare students in doctoral (PhD and DNP) nursing programs to be health policy leaders. Talking to lawmakers is "high-stakes communication," one speaker said, and nurses need to know how to do it.
Nurse Leader Urges Nurses to Study Political Science, Too
Nancy Ridenour, PhD, APRN, FAAN, has combined a lifelong passion for policy with a drive to improve public health. Throughout her career, she has fought state laws that prevented Nurse Practitioners from practicing to the top of their education and training, and spoken out on health policies affecting access to care for patients in rural communities. "Policy is a tool to foster social change. Leadership and expertise in health policy ensure that nursing expertise is used to improve the health of the nation," Ridenour says.
Nurse Faculty Scholar Featured in "Day in the Life" Video
Martin Schiavenato is a PhD, an RN, a nurse scientist, a nurse educator, and an alumnus of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Nurse Faculty Scholars program. In January, he also became the subject of a Johnson & Johnson "Day in the Life" video—a video series about the lives of people in various nursing professions.
Schiavenato's field of research is pain recognition in newborns. Read more about his RWJF-supported study here.

Mentoring and Leadership Development: The Future of Nursing Scholars Program
An Interview with Julie A. Fairman, PhD, RN, FAAN, co-director of the Future of Nursing Scholars program, and Nightingale Professor of Nursing and director, Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing, at the University of Pennsylvania.
Human Capital Blog: What is the goal of the Future of Nursing Scholars program?
Julie Fairman: The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation launched the Future of Nursing Scholars program to create a large and diverse cadre of PhD-prepared nurses who are committed to long-term leadership careers that advance science and discovery, strengthen nursing education, and bring transformational change to nursing and health care. It is vitally important that we meet the growing need for PhD-prepared nurses, not only to ensure that we address the shortage of nurse faculty members, but because nurse researchers make valuable contributions to practice and policy. The program will fund schools of nursing to provide scholarships, and it will provide mentoring and leadership development activities to build the capacity of a select group of future nurse leaders. The program's call for proposals launched this week, and scholars will be selected by the nursing colleges and universities that submit successful program proposals.
HCB: Congratulations on the release of the program's first call for proposals! As schools begin applying to participate in this program, what would you like them to keep in mind?
Fairman: We are very excited about this program. The major requirement for participation is that research-focused schools of nursing must be ready and able to graduate PhD students in three years. We understand that acquiring a PhD in nursing in three years is not the norm and that many schools have not previously graduated students within that time frame. So, schools are not necessarily ineligible if they have never operated this way, but they will need to provide a thorough description of how they will meet this obligation. We are asking applicant schools to provide information not only about their curricula, but also about their mentoring activities and faculty engagement with research. We also ask that they provide a discussion of interdisciplinary engagement in their institutions, and details about their admission, retention, and graduation of PhD nurses.
Schools that are chosen for the program will be responsible for selecting the scholars who will participate. Schools should select scholars who understand and accept the challenge of completing their PhD degrees in three years. To succeed, the scholars they select will be goal-directed, focused, and committed to long-term academic careers with a focus on science, health policy, and/or innovation. They also should be interested in health policy formulation or in the development of new evidence-based solutions to address health care problems.
Quotable Quotes About Nursing, February 2014
This is part of the February 2014 issue of Sharing Nursing's Knowledge.
"As an ADN-prepared nurse returning to school, I have been confronted with the formidable gap between the current reality of professional nursing and the push to elevate the level and scope of practice in the face of a projected nursing shortage. I have no doubt that higher levels of education, certification, and experience have the potential to create better nurses and in turn safer environments for our patients, but I do have to question whether the infrastructure necessary to support these changes is in place."
--Eric Deane, RN, Charlottesville, Va., Thoughts on Entry to Practice, Nurse.com, February 10, 2014
"As medical professionals we are recognizing that on a national level, advanced practice nurses [APNs] are part of the solution to the health care access crisis. The only way that patients are going to get the care they need is if all parts of the medical team, including APNs, midwives, physician's assistants, physicians, and others, come together as partners. It's not that nurse practitioners are going to replace any other clinicians. That's not our goal. But advanced practice nurses are extraordinarily well prepared to provide primary care. They are trained in managing multiple types of health problems and in promoting a healthy lifestyle. With the current challenges in patient care, I can only see the role of the nurse practitioner increasing."
--Ivy Alexander, PhD, APRN, FAAN, clinical professor and director of advanced practice programs, University of Connecticut School of Nursing, An Expanding Role for Nurse Practitioners, Medical Xpress, February 5, 2014
"More needs to be done to help spread awareness [about the Affordable Care Act]. This is one of the things nurses do best. They educate."
--Mary Wakefield, PhD, RN, FAAN, administrator, Health Resources & Services Administration, Nurses Step Out to Help with ACA Enrollment, Nursezone.com, January 31, 2014
Human Capital News Roundup: Abuse of prescription opioids, thriving singles, smartphone safety nets, and more.
Around the country, print, broadcast, and online media outlets are covering the groundbreaking work of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) leaders, scholars, fellows, alumni, and grantees. Some recent examples:
In suburbs, rural towns, and affluent areas, prescription opioids, such as Oxycontin and Opana, are the most common cause of overdose deaths, Helena Hansen, MD, PhD, writes in a Huffington Post opinion piece. Drug policies that unilaterally curb access to opioids can actually hurt users' recovery efforts, writes Hansen, an RWJF Health & Society Scholars alumna. The piece was co-authored by Julie Netherland, New York deputy state director, Drug Policy Alliance. It recommends prioritizing public health over punitive responses.
Tina Bloom, PhD, RN, an RWJF Nurse Faculty Scholar, is part of a research team that developed a smartphone app to help domestic violence victims and their friends create safety plans. "This has been so well received by abused women because of the privacy and the chance to learn and weigh information," Bloom told the Columbia Daily Tribune. "As survivors tell us, the computer doesn't judge."
Michigan Daily reports on a recent lecture by RWJF Health & Society Scholars alumnus Patrick Sharkey, PhD, describing his research into how urban violence affects childhood development. Sharkey shared evidence suggesting that children's exposure to violence in their neighborhoods can negatively affect academic abilities; the conclusion is based on a study he conducted in which children exposed to violence performed significantly lower on a test administered a few days later.
Kentucky Removes APRN Practice Barrier
Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear signed legislation last week that lifts a key limitation on advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) and increases consumer access to health care.
The new law "allows more flexibility for nurse practitioners to provide accessible health care to Kentuckians," Beshear said. "Nurse practitioners are a critical part of helping more Kentuckians get the medical care they need quickly and efficiently, and I am proud of the bipartisan effort to serve Kentucky's health needs."
In the past, APRNs were only allowed to prescribe medication with a physician's written consent. The new law removes that requirement for APRNs who have four or more years of experience prescribing medication under a collaborative agreement with a physician or as an independent practitioner in another state, according to the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action.
School-Based Health Centers: A Bridge to a Healthier Future
Elizabeth Dickson, MSN, RN, is a fellow in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Nursing and Health Policy Collaborative at University of New Mexico. Earlier in her career, she worked at a school-based health center (SBHC). This post is part of the "Health Care in 2014" series.
As a public health nurse, I have worked with children in schools for much of my career. From 2009 until 2013, I worked at a SBHC in New Mexico that was located in an alternative high school in southern Albuquerque. Although small, many students at this school came from families of mixed immigration status and had experienced high levels of street violence, alcohol and drug abuse and overdose, suicide, poverty and food scarcity, minimal health care access, and high teen pregnancy rates.
These kids saw and experienced more than many outsiders of the community could have imagined. The SBHC was open one day a week during school hours and employed a staff that included a nurse practitioner, a physician assistant, public health nurses, administrative staff, and mental health counselors. I worked with an incredible team that provided many health services and screenings, including mental health support, in the limited time that we had.

Shameless Self-Promotion
A bit of shameless self-promotion to begin the new year. Clearly my resolution to be more humble has gone out the window along with my promise to wake up at 5:30am and head for the gym (in my defense, I suffered an odd neck spasm that even 12 Advil a day hasn't completely alleviated).
The proud moment, this lunch lady bit on one of my favorite blogs, Oh Joy!

I've unfortunately never gotten around to writing down the recipe for roasted butternut squash and apples seen in the photo, but I think it goes roughly like this:
Equipment: large rimmed baking sheet, foil, serrated knife, vegetable peeler, metal spoon, cooling rack
1 medium butternut squash
2 to 3 firm-fleshed apples, such as Granny Smith or Gala
Olive oil
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated zest and 1 tablespoon juice from 2 lemons
Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes
1 ounces stilton
Crusty bread of your choice
Arugula (optional)
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- With a serrated knife, trim off about 1 inch from top and bottom of squash. Stand the squash up, and peel with a vegetable peeler. Be sure you've removed enough to see the bright orange flesh of the squash.
- Cut the squash where it curves, then cut that rounded piece in half. With a metal spoon, scoop out the seeds and discard.
- Slice squash into ¼-inch slices and arrange in single layer on prepared baking sheet.
- Peel, core (a metal 1-teaspoon measure works wonderfully), and cut apples into 8 wedges; add to baking sheet.
- Drizzle squash and apples generously with olive oil, then sprinkle with brown sugar and lemon zest. Season generously with salt and Aleppo pepper to taste. Toss everything together, rubbing with fingers to ensure even seasoning and coating. Arrange in single layer.
- Roast until vegetables are tender and slightly charred, 35 to 45 minutes.
- Transfer baking sheet to cooling rack and cool to room temperature. Adjust seasoning and add lemon juice.
- To assemble sandwich, slice crusty bread, drizzle crumb with olive oil, and toast if desired. Pile bread with squash and apples, crumble Stilton over everything, and tuck in arugula. Enjoy!

The West Texas Lady Comanches hosted the Lady Broncos from Clarendon on Friday. It was a close game through five innings, with the score was tied at two until the top of the sixth. That's when four WT errors and busy bats from Clarendon gave them seven runs along with two more in the seventh to give the Lady Broncos a 11-2 victory. Danielle Heater was on the mound for the Lady Comanches. She struck out eight and walked four hitters. The Lady Broncos struck out eleven Lady Tribe batters.
Friday afternoon El Paso CC took the first two games in the four game series with the Frank Phillips College Lady Plainsmen 4-3 and 12-4.
The start of the Frank Phillips College Plainsmen series with El Paso CC did not get off to a good start as two bad innings helped El Paso take game one 12-8. The Plainsmen struggles continued in game two as El Paso's bats stayed hot to defeated Frank Phillips 14-5 to take both games on Friday afternoon. Sophomore Stephen Seger, who has been solid on the mound much of the season, struggled in the first inning in game one by giving up a double, walk, single and a grand slam to give El Paso a 0-4 lead before the Plainsmen could get the first out.
With a record at 10-9-1, it is probably safe to say that the Borger Bulldog baseball team has plenty to be happy with at this point of the season while also knowing there are areas the team will need to continue to improve in as they to try to claim the District 1-3A crown and make a playoff run. The Bulldogs opened district play this past Tuesday where the team came away with a 10-4 win over Dalhart that included a great pitching performance by senior Hunter Hertel with the righthander striking out 13 Wolf batters.
On Wednesday afternoon, Frank Phillips College sophomore catcher Kristi Michaud made her plans for the next school year officially known by signing her letter of intent to become a member of the Kansas Wesleyan University Lady Coyotes Softball team. A Canada native, Michaud has spent the past two seasons being a consistent force at the plate for the Lady Plainsmen as well as providing leadership and solid defensive skills behind the plate.
Friday,April 1st El Paso CC vs Frank Phillips College Plainsmen Doubleheader starts at noon El Paso CC vs Frank Phillips College Lady Plainsmen Doubleheader starts at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, April 2nd El Paso CC vs Frank Phillips College Plainsmen Doubleheader starts at noon El Paso CC vs Frank Phillips College Lady Plainsmen Doubleheader starts at 1:00 p.m.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Borger Bulldogs took advantage of a great pitching performance by senior Hunter Hertel to open District 1-3A play with a 10-4 win over the Dalhart Golden Wolves on a cool afternoon at Huber Park. Hertel dominated the Wolves' bats, striking out 13 while giving up just two runs on five hits in six innings of work. The Wolves cracked the scoreboard first in the top of the third inning using three singles to bring in two runs to give Dalhart an 0-2 lead.
Tuesday evening the Borger Lady Bulldogs dropped to 0-2 in District 1-3A play by losing to Dalhart 12-0 in six innings. The Lady Bulldogs struggled to get much going offensively by only racking up three hits in the game. The Lady Bulldogs will next travel to Perryton on Saturday to take on the Rangerettes starting at 1:00 p.m. Dalhart 141 006 12 14 0 Borger 000 000 0 3 3
Tuesday afternoon Amarillo River Road pitcher Taylor Hoobler threw a no-hitter as the Wildcats defeated the Sanford-Fritch Eagles 19-0 in the District 1-2A opener for both teams in Fritch. Tony Manzella would take the loss on the mound for the Eagles. Sanford-Fritch will next travel to take on Boys Ranch on Saturday.
WICHITA FALLS-As the Borger Lady Bulldogs were entering the 4A soccer playoffs for the fourth season in a row, the expectations were that the team would hopefully find a way to break through to the area round to capture the first playoff victory in the history of the program in their contest against the Abilene Wylie Lady Bulldogs yesterday in Wichita Falls. Unfortunately, Abilene Wyile showed what they entered the contest with an impressive 19-5-1 record and showed they were the District 6-4A champs by coming out early on their way to getting the 7-1 win to end Borger's season.

I'm having the same issue, you can set the placement parameters but the gigapan itself doesn't actually show up so you can't fly into it or see how the parameters effect viewing. Tried in both chrome and firefox. Personally I liked the original version that worked in google earth. |

Comments about Emperor of Evil Child Costume:
I bought this at the request of my 9-year-old niece, who has a bit of a goth streak and wanted it for trick-or-treating this year. Her other choice was a rather gruesome zombie doctor costume... needless to say I was delighted she also liked this less gory costume. Lots of flowy material, full coverage, warm enough for a chilly evening with layers underneath - her mom says she is delighted, so of course I am too.

SIOUX FALLS(AP) - It's a beautiful September afternoon, and there's no place Morgan Kontz would rather be than in her office - even though she's been working since dawn and likely won't get home until after dusk.
Of course, her "office" is the cab of a John Deere tractor. She's driving the grain cart while her brother-in-law combines a cornfield just a couple of miles away from her home north of Colman.
"Some farmers combine without having someone run alongside them with the grain cart," Kontz says. "But by doing it this way, we're more efficient. The combine can keep moving, and nobody has to waste time unloading. We're a well-oiled machine when things are working properly. When things are trucking along, no one is sitting around waiting."
They'll finish this field of dry corn today. But on a large-scale family farm like theirs, the work is never over. On any given day, Kontz might be feeding cattle, hauling grain, cleaning the shop or running for parts.
Kontz speaks with the certainty of someone who has spent a lifetime on the farm. But in reality, she's a first-generation farm wife, having married into the Kontz family farm operation in 2009.
Today, Kontz, 25, is a proud farmer and spirited, positive advocate of the country's oldest industry, speaking and blogging about what it's really like to live and work on the farm with the goal of bridging the gap between the farmers who grow food and the consumers who buy it.
"Farming isn't just a job here," Kontz says. "It's a passion and a way of life."
Though she didn't grow up on a farm, the world of agriculture wasn't completely foreign to Kontz.
She grew up outside of Indianapolis, in a town called Mooresville, with her mom and sister. Her dad and stepmom, both professional pool players, lived in the city.
She was in 4-H as a kid and participated in FFA, and she even worked for a sheep farmer for a bit while in high school. She studied ag education at Purdue University.
But how does the daughter of a professional pool player from Indiana end up married to a farmer in South Dakota? The Internet, of course. Kontz met her husband, Jason, on a dating site called FarmersOnly.com.
A friend introduced her to the site, which offered newcomers three free days of service, Kontz says. "There was no way I was going to pay for a dating service," Kontz wrote in her blog. "My husband, on the other hand, fell for the $15.95 a month hook, line and sinker."
They communicated over email and via text messages for a month before they spoke on the phone. She later drove to South Dakota to meet Jason in person and spent a week following him around on the farm and hanging out with his family.
Kontz went back to Indiana, the two decided they were in love and she ended up transferring to South Dakota State University, where she finished her degree in ag education and married the man of her dreams.
"I really have enjoyed telling the story and love that people get a kick out of the beginning to the rest of our lives," she says.
Studying agriculture is one thing. Experiencing it is entirely different. And Kontz learned quickly.
"I was going to school for ag, but I didn't even realize how much hard work goes into making one pound of hamburger," she says. "I knew a lot about agriculture, but I was solely a consumer. It is completely different to go from being a consumer to becoming a producer. I never understood the amount of time it takes to plant crops. Or the amount of people it takes to make harvest run smoothly and efficiently. The science behind it I understood, but seeing it in action is a completely different story."
The Kontz family farm, known as Triple K Farms, is made up of Morgan and her husband, Jason, his two brothers, Brad and Troy, and their wives, Kelly and Michelle, and his parents, Ray and Susan. Oh, and eight children, all under the age of 12, among the three siblings. They farm about 3,000 acres of soybeans, corn and alfalfa hay, feed approximately 2,000 head of beef cattle a year and raise more than 100 cow/calf pairs.
"Working with family is such a different dynamic," she says. "But we take great pride in being called a family farm."
The cattle are fed in the morning. After that, family members all meet in the shop for coffee and to go over the game plan for the day.

August 8, 2013: The "Immigrant Women: Law and Policy" Course Syllabus has now been posted
This Fall 2013 course will be taught by Leslye Orloff and Rocio Molina, and will include work on a NIWAP project. From the course description:
"This two-credit seminar will examine role of legislative/administrative lawyering in developing and implementing laws, regulation and public policies. This course will review the legislative, administrative and policy gains in legal rights under U.S. laws that have been made on behalf of immigrant women, children and particularly immigrant victims of violence against women (domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking). Students will learn about the role lawyers played in these accomplishments: drafting legislation, negotiating bipartisan agreements, drafting implementing regulations and policy guidance, collecting stories, documenting emerging unaddressed needs, and crafting public policy solutions that would work for immigrant victims, women and children.
"This course will provide students the opportunity to develop the skills and talents required of a good legislative/administrative lawyer who works in and/or with state, local and federal government agency personnel. Legislative/administrative lawyers practice law at the intersection of policy, advocacy and politics. Their legal expertise combines with an understanding of the political dynamics of legislative and administrative systems enabling them to forge public policy solutions to problems that are effective, creative and politically achievable."

By News.com staff April 14, 2000, 4:00 a.m. PT Within the high-tech industry, it is known as "getting Netscaped." The damning label is applied to companies that have dared to cross swords with Microsoft since its well-documented campaign to take the browser business away from Netscape Communications. And many industry veterans say RealNetworks risks suffering a similar fate in multimedia, a situation exacerbated by a particularly acrimonious history with its arch enemy. This week, RealNetworks marks the five-year anniversary of its breakthrough RealAudio software for Web streaming, a technology that was key to the Internet's multimedia expansion. Coincidentally, the company is facing perhaps the most difficult challenges in its short history as it confronts unprecedented competition from a software empire just a few miles away from RealNetworks' Seattle headquarters. Those familiar with both companies say a licensing deal signed last month with Microsoft is an ominous sign for RealNetworks' dominance in streaming. At present, RealNetworks says it has no plans for wide adoption of Windows formats, but the broad agreement leaves the door open to possible use of Microsoft's technology in all of the streaming company's products. The move may reflect a grudging admission that Microsoft's inroads are deeper than RealNetworks has publicly acknowledged. The war for control of multimedia technologies is far from over, but the outlines of a familiar pattern are beginning to emerge: one that recalls the divide-and-conquer strategy employed by Microsoft for the past two decades. "It's very much like the early days of Netscape and Internet Explorer," said David Goldberg, chief executive of music site Launch, alluding to the infamous battle of Web browsers that Microsoft eventually won. "I think there are a lot of parallels." It is a particularly poignant struggle for Rob Glaser, the man who founded RealNetworks after spending years as a Microsoft executive. Knowing well the ways of the Windows empire, he appears to be hedging his bets with an exit strategy that would shift his company from software to services. The question is whether this is a natural evolution of his business or whether Glaser's hand is being forced by his former mentor, Bill Gates. In an interview with CNET News.com, Glaser unequivocally denied that competition with Microsoft alone is driving his company, insisting that RealNetworks' products are far superior. He also rejected comparisons to Netscape, saying his company is more akin to America Online, eBay, Yahoo or other "networks" that have grown beyond their original mission. Either way, the conflict is a study in Microsoft's efforts to expand as the Justice Department attempts to erect boundaries around it. The company has been investigated once before for its actions in the streaming market, and last week's ruling in its federal antitrust case may pose new challenges in its drive to unseat RealNetworks.

East Bengal win Federation Cup
I-League giants East Bengal held their nerve in extra-time to beat Dempo SC 3-2 and win the Federation Cup at Siliguri's Kanchanjungha Stadium on Sunday.
The win helped East Bengal secure their eighth Federation Cup title, although Trevor Morgan's men were forced to come from behind after prolific midfielder Climax Lawrence, thanks to a poor Saumik Dey clearance, had put Dempo ahead five minutes into the second half.
Central defender Arnab Mondal headed home Mehtab Hossain's free-kick on the hour mark to bring East Bengal level and ultimately send the game, watched by some 35,000 spectators, into extra-time.
Determined not to be outdone by the reigning I-League champions, East Bengal rallied to take the lead for the first time courtesy of a Manandeep Singh's strike after Dempo goalkeeper Subhasish Roy Chowdhury could only parry substitute Lalrindika Ralte's effort in the 99th minute.
Striker Chidi Edeh extended East Bengal's advantage ten minutes later, and although Mahesh Gawli reduced the deficit in the 113th minute, it proved to be too little late for Dempo.

If you take the bird off the table, is it still Thanksgiving?
You could go with New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman's preferred solution: get an inflatable turkey as a mock centerpiece.
"Absence of turkey can be a very positive thing," says Bittman, whose upcoming book, VB6: Eat Vegan Before 6:00, is dedicated to doing with less meat.
Or you could follow the advice of professionals who have made vegetable cookery an art form. Offer vegetable and grain dishes that are rich in flavor and fat, and, if you really need an anchor for the meal, create another dish as a centerpiece.
Acorn squash stuffed with wild rice or other grains, carrots, celery, onions, nuts, dried cranberries and a tiny dice of hickory-smoked tofu make a flavorful, celebratory main dish, says Diane Morgan, author of two books on Thanksgiving and a new volume on root vegetables called Roots (Chronicle). A lasagna of sliced sugar pumpkin layered with ricotta and crumbled fried sage, she says, also offers an impressive make-ahead dish.
With the centerpiece nailed, proceed as usual. Surround that dish with all the traditional sides — stuffing, mashed potatoes, those gooey sweet potatoes and roasted brussels sprouts. You want gravy? Make it with a stock of roasted root vegetables, Morgan says, and pour it all over your potatoes.
Use as much butter, salt and cream as you normally would on Thanksgiving, knowing that those are the elements that put the "comfort" in "comfort food."
"Fat is the operative word," Bittman says. "You can make a really great stuffing with a lot of butter. Creamed onions, creamed spinach. Of the things people think of when they think of Thanksgiving food, only the turkey is really meat."

October 27 – November 3, 2012
This International field experience to Germany will emphasize two main topics. First, the class will explore the issues encountered by families who have been deployed in our US military in order to better prepare students to work with families and military personnel in the transition prior to deployment, during deployment, or re-adjustment to United States after a deployment . Discussions with military chaplains, family life counselors, school counselors, and others in the military will offer insight into the issues encountered by families in order to become more aware of deployment issues and how counselors can assist families in these transitions. Second, the class will attend the annual European Branch of the American Counseling Association Conference for enhanced professional counselor identity. Students will present a poster session at the conference on a topic of personal interest related to counseling as part of the class requirement.

tech guys thinks BB10 Is Goin to be The worlds Best Smartphone
Video Description:skip to 8:17 to hear about BB10
Well, Adam finally got his replacement for dropping his Galaxy S3 in the toilet, the LG, but is it better? Is it worse? Does it do what he needs? Then Adam turns the interview table around, he asks ME a question on soon to be announced BB10. I was invited by the CEO of RIM to see a demo at RIM's Head Office in Waterloo Ontario. I was there and I saw what will be the worlds BEST handheld device. My predictions, Feb 2013 RIM will be #1 AGAIN! Yes I'm bias, but this is on reality not emotion.
He's Even Waiting For BB10 Hes not looking at another smartphone #BB10 Love BB10 All The way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Last edited by T-Raww; 12-18-2012 at 06:55 PM.

God I'm pumped for BB10 and the new phones. Everything I'm hearing sounds like they have hit the ball out of the park. It's very cool to hear that the on-screen keyboard is just as good as a physical keyboard. Never thought I would say it but I can't wait to get rid of my 9700!!

i feel the same way you feel and its things we cant possibly imagine thats y its gonna blow our minds cant wait to get BB10
Re: tech guys thinks BB10 Is Goin to be The worlds Best Smartphone
I think we're setting ourselves up for disappointment by setting such high expectations. I'm going to go with expecting a pleasant surprise.
If you want to skip a lot of non-BB10 chatter, jump to around 9:00 or so...

I don't remember the guy saying that BB10 is going to be the world's best phone and the RIM guys will always say that BB10 will "knock your socks off".
My ears did ***** up though when he said that there is more to BB10 than we have seen so far and that there could be more to be revealed at launch. The more that I cut through the hype about BB10, the more I am convinced that BB10 will be something special.
With the button less approaches of BB10 and that new LG in the vid, Apple are going to have to think long and hard about the future of the home button on their iPhones. It is starting to look like a feature of yesterday's phone. - 12-19-2012, 05:21 PM #13

I remember many years back I used to try many diff combo's of home speakers, read the reviews and bought them, was never really impressed. Then one day I met an Englishman who sold me on a pair of Klipsh Cornwalls, saying "they would knock my socks off",well let me tell you, they did that and more. It's not often you hear that term, from my perspective he is talking straight up.
I love the mention of "umpteen" things to be shown yet. I wonder what they could possibly have in store to show us.
there is alot that is in the current java OS that we havent seen. I havent seen in depth the notification/profiles that can be set up (i might have missed this if its out there). I would guess there is alot of things we take for granted that we know will be there but hasnt been demoed. I am still waiting to see the new maps and such, this is a key app for me as i use google maps almost daily looking at things. i want to see the file structure and hope to he** they fixed it from the awful playbook setup. I know people with dev alphas can probably answer some of these things but its still stuff RIM will get/need to demo at launch.

I hope they will release innovative apps related to their roots: communication, productivity and business.
What about a native app to scan business cards and add them to the contacts? Or some kind of text recognition to snap a pic of a document and then save it directly as a .doc/docx format?
What about a native pdf creator (print to go on the Playbook anyone) that more to create and transfer pdf from the PC to the device offer the possibility to create pdf from and the phone?
Also I hope to see improvement of the actual BB7.1 apps that still are best in the class. Some examples:
1. Memopad/Task Manager. I expect total integration with the BBHub to move seamlessly between contacts, email and things to do related to that particular contact
2. Password keeper. It is actually the only program i trust to save some of my passwords. I would love new functionality to store also credit card numbers, reward cards and so on..
3. BlackBerry Travel. This is by far one of the apps that keeps me loyal to blackberry. If you fly around the world with an average of one flight per week as me this app is fundamental, reminding you what airplane and when, possible delays, rental cars and hotels...
4. BlackBerry Bridge. Few if nothing has been revealed about this app. It is already amazing but due to the core structure of QNX, that can natively manage multiple cores/systems (see the QNX Porsche car concept) will be even better on BB10. I expect multiple devices to become one seamless "super device" where you can open/share/modify/use every file from every folder in any device from the other one(s). For instance you can already streams one song from BB7 to the Playbook. QNX will stream easily HD movies, song and so on via WiFi or Bluetooth 4.0..
Ah.. one more thing.. we already know that other awesome apps such as pic and movie editors will be there at launch, with TAT being heavily involved in the coding... even if not strictly business they are really important for BB10 success and I am sure they will not disappoint.
I was almost forgetting... QNX on the playbook is already one of the best platform where developing games.....
Core business functionality to the extent of a laptop (the real mobile computing experience) + on par or better experience with apps and games that you can have on other brands. Everything in a secure environment. The best of two words together.. not anymore needs to carry two phone simultaneously..
WHY IS NOT ALREADY JANUARY THE 30th???? - 12-20-2012, 08:08 AM #20
Me to. I am just waiting and seeing how the 2013 smartphone os layout goes. iOS is "eh" to me now, android is ok but still fragmented to ****, and windows phone is doing well (always liked the os) but waiting to see how it develops when windows phone 8 stabilizes. IF BB10 does well, then the whole smartphone landscape will change drastically. Here to waiting and seeing but again I am not going to hype myself up, I did that on the playbook and was disappointed but I am hopeful the new RIM will do better, unless we all die Friday lol.

Family physician Dr. Nick Yphantides will present a free lecture at the Quincy Town Hall Theatre next Thursday, March 18, at 7 p.m.
Author of the popular book "My Big Fat Greek Diet," Dr. Nick jokes that despite his accomplished career, he was "board certified" in medical hypocrisy, as 10 years ago he weighed in at close to 500 pounds.
Embarrassed and unable to fit into airplane seats or restaurant booths, the doctor grew tired of saying to patients, "Do as I say, not as I do!"
Determined to practice what he preached, Dr. Nick broke from his daily job commitments and set out to change his life.
He loaded an RV with protein shakes and no-calorie diet drinks, and dubbed his new home on wheels the "USS Spirit of Reduction."
An avid baseball fan, Dr. Nick began what he would later call the "Take a Swing at Weight Loss Tour."
Stopping at every major league baseball stadium in the country, Dr. Nick proceeded to lose an astonishing 270 pounds during the course of the next eight months.
That journey began in April 2001. Today, Dr. Nick is still a family physician, as well as a medical consultant and a member of the Presidential Task Force on Nutrition, Fitness, and Public Health.
The doctor said he can empathize with those struggling with weight loss, and can offer medically safe advice to lose it for good.
His life story has been featured in People Magazine, Reader's Digest, Washington Post, New York Times, and on CNN, Fox News, Focus on the Family and even in the National Enquirer.
Dr. Nick is no stranger to Quincy. Friends with Quincy's Dr. Jeff Kepple, the two met in medical school. In fact, Dr. Nick even worked at Plumas District Hospital for a short stint, covering extended emergency room shifts.
The Plumas District Hospital Employee Wellness Program sponsors the upcoming lecture.
The program was established in 2008, and recently received a $16,350 Innovative Community Wellness Grant. The program plans to use the funds to sponsor other guest speakers, community wellness fairs and outdoor activities.

Sep 19 2012 by Liam Murphy, Birkenhead News
BUSINESSES close to the Women's Open claimed they were left out and the area left "like a ghost town".
More than 40 local traders said they they had been told to expect thousands of visitors – but people arriving by train or park and ride were directed away from the shops.
Jo Smith of Seagrass Studio said: "They were directing people arriving at the station and from the car park up a side street and through a muddy field rather than towards the town."
Les Bell of the Chantilly Tea Rooms added: "It killed the business in Hoylake, we may as well have closed."
Roy Corke, who owns Spectacle Warehouse, said after businesses complained one sign was put up showing direction to the shops. He said: "Two people from the council came down and admitted they had got it wrong. But to them, putting it right was putting a little A-board up saying 'shops this way' The town was totally bypassed."
Council leader Phil Davies said the Women's Open was clearly smaller than the men's event in 2006. He said the authority had tried to make businesses aware of the changes.
