For immediate release
Contact: Eliza Bates, 917.565.2976, firstname.lastname@example.com
Friday, February 8, 2013 — Our fight to save LICH is just beginning. Hundreds of nurses, Local 1199 caregivers, patients, elected officials, and community members are building a powerful mass movement to save our community hospital.
Today the SUNY Board of Trustees convened a public meeting to vote to close LICH. We were there – chanting, singing, talking to reporters, and making our voice heard!
"I work in critical care," said Miriam Newa, RN. "Every day, we do the extraordinary to help our patients. And we will do the extraordinary to save our hospital!"
LICH caregivers save lives for patients from across Brooklyn.
"People come from all across Brooklyn to get care at LICH," said Herdley Hill, RN, a psychiatric nurse at LICH. "Many of our patients are low-income. Many are people of color. Many come from underserved communities."
"They deserve the best care – we save lives every day."
Even the Board of Trustees today acknowledged that they have been misleading the public about LICH being under-utilized. Over ninety percent of LICH's staffed beds are occupied every day.
LICH's location in downtown Brooklyn has made it a lifesaver for Brooklyn residents. "What if you, or your mother, or your daughter is on the BQE and starts having chest pains?" asked Susan Shanahan, a LICH nurse. "With a heart attack or stroke every minute counts. SUNY will be killing patients in Brooklyn if they close the hospital."
The meeting to close LICH was not properly constituted on several grounds, which includes the following:
The board snuck out the back door of the meeting room – turning their backs on our Brooklyn community and healthcare needs. We called loudly on them to return to this ongoing meeting that was never properly adjourned.
When it became clear to us that the board trustees would not return, the assembled nurses, caregivers, and patients took matters into our own hands!
Since the board had effectively abdicated its legal authority and abandoned its own meeting, we decided to assume their role and duties. We introduced and unanimously voted to approve the following resolutions:
Closing LICH is one part of a bigger plan to totally reshape New York healthcare. The governor and Wall Street are proposing an experimental "pilot" for-profit hospital – in Brooklyn.
The governor's real estate buddies think that LICH is worth more dead than alive.
"Our fight is just beginning," Lukmon Kalejaiye, RN told the assembled crowd, to wild applause.
I hope you will join all of us next Thursday, Feb. 14 at 6:00 PM in front of the hospital for a major community rally.
We will do whatever it takes to stop the governor's pilot project.
And we will do whatever it takes to save LICH.
Jill Furillo, RN,
NYSNA Executive Director

Great film,loved the cast and wonderful storyline!
I absolutely adored this movie. It was funny, cute, and lighthearted. It was cleverly devised and well thought out. The morals and lessons stick with you long after the movie ends. I havn't seen a better Pixar movie since Monsters Inc.
To tell the complete truth, Cars is the worst movie Pixar has ever made. The "humor" in Cars is based almost entirely on stereotypes. For example: Mater, the redneck car, and those two french cars. Another thing is, that most of Pixar's movies have the point of view of something other than human, but the thing they pick has to struggle with humans. For example: In Toy Story, Woody is

Photo: Mackenzie Stroh Q: I'm following a food plan that has me eating fruit, vegetables, protein, and plant oils. I love to work out, and I feel a bit weak at times. Do I need to eat more carbohydrates for energy? Or just different kinds of fruits and veggies?
— Lara Wessel, Miami A. Your body is efficient at using calories from just about any source. We can, for example, make glucose—the energy our cells need to function—from protein, fat, or carbohydrates. I wonder whether you're eating enough, though: If you work out regularly, your total calorie needs may be higher than you realize. Be sure to take in enough food to maintain your desired weight; over time, that's a reliable indicator that you are getting the right amount of fuel. To find the actual number of calories your body requires, visit the energy needs calculator at the Baylor College of Medicine website (www.bcm.edu/cnrc/caloriesneed.htm). Also, your diet sounds healthful but limited. There's a difference between putting enough fuel in the tank and putting in premium. To get all the nutrients you need, be sure to vary the fruits and vegetables you eat. In the protein category, emphasize fish, skinless poultry, lean meats, and nonfat dairy. And while produce provides some carbohydrates, you may in fact need more. Adding whole grains, beans, and lentils will provide zinc, B vitamins, and fiber—all useful for increasing your energy level. From the June 2007 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Game 56: Orioles 5, Blue Jays 3
The Good:
- Every Oriole got a hit but Nolan Reimold (who walked twice). The biggest one came off the bat of Mark Reynolds, whose team leading 8th home run turned out to be the game winning grand slam. That's what they brought him over from Arizona to do, and maybe he's starting to pick it up now (it was his third homer in the last 10 games).
- Matt Wieters had a couple of those base-knocks - including a rocket double that bounced into the left-field seats. He also did his usual "throw a guy out trying to steal by five feet".
- The bullpen was solid, with Jim Johnson, Koji Uehara, and Kevin Gregg each pitching a scoreless frame (Koji struck out the side, and Gregg K'ed 2).
- Jake Arrieta walked 4 batter for the second start in a row, and he was very fortunate to only have given up the 3 runs. Despite the definition, this was certainly not a "Quality Start". Final line; 6 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 4 BB, 1 K, 1 HR.
The comeback win gives the O's a chance to actually take the series tomorrow, which would be quite a boon after having lost 5 of 6 coming into this one.

I will be extracting DNA from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium smegmatis. At the end of the extraction I will quantify the DNA via UV Spectroscopy. To dilute the DNA for spectroscopic analysis, my protocol states "generally, a 1:50 or 1:100 dilution is adequate." (I will be using TE buffer to dilute the DNA). Can anyone recommend which dilution is best? I know if the absorbance is greater than 2.0 it means I have lipid or protein contamination in my DNA, and I would imagine not having a high enough dilution could give me a false read of above 2.0.
The read will be done at 260nm and 280nm.
Thanks a Bunch!

Basically the protocol is saying that a something in the 1:50-1:100 range works fine. You don't have to be prescriptive and use either. The dilution you should use depends on the concentration of the DNA, which you won't know until you measure it... If you are using modern equipment, such as a nanodrop, then you usually don't need to dilute your DNA at all - the software works it all put for you.
You are wrong about the absorbance by the way - ratio of 260:280 over 2 is an indicator of contamination.

text: This meal came together quickly & was absolutely delicious. I cut the chicken into strips & put everything on the grill at once (polenta, nectarines & chicken) & cooked them all 4 minutes a side. While they cooked, I whipped up the salsa, skipping cilantro (not a fan) & substituting chili powder for hot sauce. It was wonderful.

In less than three minutes, her life changed forever.
On January 21, 2009, Susan Boyle, a 47-year-old church volunteer from Scotland, stepped onstage to audition for a spot on England's hit TV show Britain's Got Talent. She stood before the audience, judges and television viewers and shared her dream—to be a professional singer. Some people snickered. Others rolled their eyes. But when Susan belted out the first line of the Les Miserables anthem "I Dreamed a Dream," jeers turned to cheers. Her showstopping performance, which has been viewed more than 120 million times on YouTube, captured people's hearts and catapulted her to stardom. "It was one of the most extraordinary moments of the entertainment world in 2009," Oprah says. Before this moment, however, Susan's life was far from extraordinary. |

Albuquerque Homeschool Forum / Classes and camps / Free Writing Classes! (Midhigh/High)
Posted by:
278 (Guest), August 6, 2008, 12:29pm
Happy Prep-Time, All!! Yup: Summer's been flying by and it's time to signup for those free homeschool classes this fall!! Don't see enough free classes? Well then, by all means create one! All of us have skills to teach, whether it's pottery or algebra, and what fantastic opportunities our kids would have if every one of us just taught one free class!! If we all donate just a little time, whether a 1-day class or several, our kids would have hundreds of free classes to choose from right here in town. Isn't that a wonderful vision? I hope this inspires more free offerings!
Okay-off the soapbox! The free classes I'll be teaching this year are the Playful Pens Writing Classes for midhigh and high schoolers. :) This is an interactive "drama" approach to writing, building and discovering writer's tools (e.g. tone, theme, setting, 3-D characters, etc.) through activities, games, drama, and practice. It's the Writing Club's 4th year, and we're having a great time. I've taught classes for the elementary ages, but these are designed for the older students, and I've often regretted making exceptions. So if your 6-11 grader likes to write, wants to improve their writing, or wants to get ready for the SAT or ISS exams, sign them up!
This fall we'll have Creative Writing I and Tech Writing I, and in the Spring we'll have Creative Writing II, Tech Writing II, and hopefully (if we get a good computer lab) another web writing class too. Last year, our web writing class created our website from scratch:
. Even if you don't choose to sign up this year, keep your eye on the site as opportunities for writing, publishing and contests will be announced throughout the year.
Each class meets once a week for only 5 or 6 weeks, and there is 1-2 hours of additional homework to practice what they've learned in class. Don't let the fun and short duration fool you-we cover a lot of material in class!
Some people say that if I don't charge money or give out grades, people won't take this learning opportunity seriously, but for the past several years we've proved them wrong!
The students learn a great deal about writing tools, whether discovering new ones or sharpening the ones they have. Whether storytelling (Creative Writing I) or learning different styles of note-taking (Tech Writing II, week 1), we start and end each class by seeing how much we know. The students quickly realize that even though we seem to be playing a game, they're actually learning a writing skill. Then they can practice those skills with the weekly homework (which is also handed in and reviewed).
Classes on the
East side of Albuquerque
are scheduled on Tuesday afternoons, from 3pm to 4:15, at Title Wave Books on Eubank. Classes on the
West side
are Wednesdays, from 3pm to 4:15, at the Taylor Ranch Community Center.
Creative Writing I starts August 26th/27th and runs through September. Technical Writing I is at the same time and place, starting the first week of October and running for 5 weeks. You can sign up for one or the other or both, but you must sign up in advance to attend (we almost always fill up).
To get more info, to get a complete class outline via email, or to sign your 6th-11th grader up for these free writing class, email firstname.lastname@example.com or give me a call at 306-1866. These classes almost always fill up, and the last week of August is coming up quick, so
don't wait too long
to sign up!
Happy Homeschooling!
:) -Chris

Recognizing Performance in a Tough Economy: How to Best Reward Stand-Out Employees
by Caron_Beesley, Community Moderator
- Created: November 23, 2010, 4:42 am
- Updated: March 28, 2013, 3:28 pm
It's that time of year again -- annual employee performance review season! And with employee reviews comes the inevitable question of how do you reward high-performing employees? Do you give them a wage increase, hand-out a one-time bonus, or both? In a tough economy, are there other ways to reward employees, without breaking the bank? Here are some tips for assessing the best ways to reward your employees based on a strong performance review.
Assessing Performance
When it comes to reviewing employee performance and assessing eligibility for a pay increase or other benefits, i-s best to establish a clear grading system upon which to measure performance in a fair and consistent manner.
A good rule of thumb is to set your own guidelines for assessing employees against key areas and then weighting these according to importance:
For example,
- Performance (50%)'Under this there may be a sub-set of specifics related to that individua's job function.
- Professionalism (30%)
- Attendance (20%)' Tardiness, abuse of leave policies, etc.
Remember that every company and position places value on different skills' whether i's training, customer service, management capabilities, and so on. So within these performance measures, be sure to add specific areas for review that align with employee goals. For example, if it is a priority for an employee in a sales function to establish strong relationships through networking, make that a goal and measure performance against it.
Are Wage Hikes Required?
Did you know that the law does not require that you introduce annual pay reviews or bonuses for high-performing employees? In fact, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) only requires that employers comply with minimum wage and overtime pay standards, as well as regulations that govern the hiring of minors.
However, an increase in pay for high performing employees will not only demonstrate that you value the contribution they are making to your business but it will also motivate them to continually improve.
Read more about what the law requires when it comes to employee benefits in the earlier post: Employee Benefit Plans: Wha's Law and Wha's Optional.
How to Calculate Wage Increases
If you can afford to reward high performance with wage increases, how do you determine who qualifies and what size increase should you give them?
Some companies assess their budgets and come up with a grading scale of awardable pay increases. So, for example, calculate what percentage increase of an employee's base salary you can afford and introduce a sliding scale - top performers get a 3% hike on their base salary, consistent performers 2%, and so on, at your discretion. This percentage system sends a strong message to those who get the highest slice, and likewise to those who don't.
Whatever you decide, communicate it. Include it in your employee welcome kit or benefits package and remind employees of your policy once more when performance review season comes around
What about Bonuses?
If you can't afford or predict your ability to be able to support employee pay raises (remember once that pay rise is out there there's no taking it back), then a popular alternative are one-time bonuses for individuals who have gone above-and-beyond to help grow your business.
Bonuses are good for both employers (no sustained increased costs) and employees (a clear signal that their hard work is appreciated), and can be awarded at your discretion. Just remember, for anti-discrimination purposes, be sure to document your reasons for making the award and back it up with performance examples.
Non-Financial Employee Rewards
A complimentary or alternative option to pay increases or bonuses is to offer soft benefits to employees who excel - these might include flex-time, paid corporate memberships, and so on. Not only do they reward performance they also boost morale. Read Get More from Your Team - 5 Employee Incentive Program Ideas that Pay Off for tips on what might work for your business.
What About Cost-of-Living Wage Adjustments?
Some companies provide all employees, regardless of performance, with a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), based on the rise in inflation. However, given the flat economy and the fact that this wage adjustment is typically awarded across-the-board, regardless of performance, it is often considered unfair and rarely seen in today's workplace.
