Conference to Focus on Integrating Policy into Nursing Curricula
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Nursing and Health Policy Collaborative at the University of New Mexico is hosting a one-day conference this winter for PhD and DNP nurse faculty who seek to better integrate health policy into their curricula. It will be held on January 27 at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego.
The conference will feature interprofessional panels of speakers who will discuss strategies to develop faculty and student expertise in policy analysis and research. Panel topics will include:
- shaping health policy leadership through doctoral nurse education;
- exercising health policy leadership through nursing and community organizations;
- strategies for enriching doctoral health policy education; and
- integrating health policy content into doctoral nursing programs.
The conference supports RWJF's work to promote a Culture of Health across America. It aims to support faculty in preparing students to address health policy issues, developing programs of research that relate to health policy, and integrating an understanding of social determinants of health into policy analysis and research.
More information on the conference is here and registration is here.
The Legacy of PIN: Strengthening Long-Term Care in Arkansas
Chris Love, MMin, MSLE, is the program director for the Arkansas Community Foundation, which served as the lead foundation for the Partners Investing in Nursing's Future (PIN) project, Planning for Workforce Development in Geriatric and Long-Term Care.
As PIN holds its final national meeting this week, the Human Capital Blog is featuring posts from PIN partners about the program's legacy of encouraging innovative collaborative responses to challenges facing the nursing workforce in local communities. PIN is an initiative of the Northwest Health Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
The PIN journey with Arkansas Community Foundation and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), among other partners, has been one of both providence and progress. It was in the fall of 2008 that we were approached by leaders from UAMS with the idea for us to become partners with them in this endeavor.
At first, the idea seemed daunting. Then, after some consideration by our senior leadership, it became an open door for opportunity—an opportunity to leverage the structure and resources of our foundation to complement the expertise of our colleagues and friends at UAMS to address a major issue of mutual concern: the aging population in our state and the significant shortage of adequately prepared nurses to care for that population. Not long into the partnership, our organizations realized this would be a match made in heaven.
Stony Brook Helps Veterans Become Nurses
Lori Escallier, PhD, RN, CPNP, is a professor and associate dean for evaluation and outcomes at the State University of New York at Stony Brook School of Nursing. She is her university's project director for a program that helps veterans earn baccalaureate degrees in nursing (VBSN) and for New Careers in Nursing, a program supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) that supports second-career nurses in accelerated master's and baccalaureate nursing programs.
Human Capital Blog: Please tell us about your university's program for nursing students who are veterans.
Lori Escallier: The project is entitled Enhancing the Nursing Workforce: Career Ladder Opportunities for Veterans. The purpose is to increase the enrollment, retention and educational success of veterans in the baccalaureate nursing program at Stony Brook. Our program operationalizes the collaborative efforts of the Health Resources and Services Administration, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) by providing opportunities for veterans to transition into nursing careers.
HCB: How is the VBSN program helping to build a Culture of Health that more effectively serves veterans?
Escallier: One of the project's aims is to enhance the nursing workforce with veterans. Veterans certainly have a good understanding of the needs of other veterans and their families. Who better to promote a Culture of Health for veterans than those who have "walked the walk?"
Recent Research About Nursing, November 2014
This is part of the November 2014 issue of Sharing Nursing's Knowledge.
DNP Programs Increasing
New research by the RAND Corporation, conducted for the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), finds that the percentage and number of nursing schools offering doctorates in nursing practice (DNPs) has increased dramatically in recent years, but that some schools still face barriers to adopting programs that confer the degree.
Ten years ago, AACN member schools endorsed a call for moving the level of preparation necessary for advanced nursing practice from the masters to doctoral level, establishing a target of 2015. More recently, the Institute of Medicine's landmark report on the future of nursing called for doubling the number of doctorally prepared nurses in order to help meet the demands of an ever more complex health care system.
According to RAND's data, nursing schools are following through. Since 2006, the number of schools offering DNP degrees has grown by more than 1,000 percent, from 20 schools in 2006 to 251 in 2013.
The report finds that approximately 30 percent of nursing schools with Advanced Practice Registered Nursing (APRN) programs now offer degree paths in which baccalaureate-prepared nurses move directly to DNP programs, and that such BSN-DNP programs will likely be in another fifth of nursing schools with APRN programs in a few years.
Achieving Impossible Dreams
For the 25th anniversary of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Summer Medical and Dental Education Program (SMDEP), the Human Capital Blog is publishing scholar profiles, some reprinted from the program's website. SMDEP is a six-week academic enrichment program that has created a pathway for more than 22,000 participants, opening the doors to life-changing opportunities. Following is a profile of Gloria Sanchez, MD, a member of the 1993 class.
Can a person thrive in a community ravaged by poverty? Are seemingly impossible dreams attainable?
Gloria Sanchez, MD, grapples with these questions every day, both in her medical practice and while teaching aspiring physicians.
Sanchez is associate program director of the Department of Family Medicine at Harbor–UCLA Medical Center, a publicly funded hospital in Los Angeles. She also oversees UCLA's PRIME MSIII Primary Care Longitudinal course, which trains medical students to be medical leaders in underserved communities.
The lives of patients Sanchez treats are shaped by social determinants of health—forces that dictate poor health outcomes based on ZIP code more than genetic code. Where you live, work, and play has a profound effect on individual, family, and community health, she says.
"How can someone who doesn't have a level playing field still attain their goals?" she asks, citing research showing that the stress of social and economic disadvantage contributes to chronic disease. "Poverty can literally change your brain, and your health."
Noting that Harbor–UCLA Family Medicine's mission is to advocate for disenfranchised populations, Sanchez says, "That's why I entered medicine. It may sound impossible, but I'm here to help people attain good health so they can achieve their dreams."
An Anthropological Approach to Medicine
Theresa Yera is a senior at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo. A project of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research, and Rutgers University, Project L/EARN is a 10-week summer internship that provides training, experience and mentoring to undergraduate college students from socioeconomic, ethnic and cultural groups that traditionally have been underrepresented in graduate education.
When I applied to the 2014 Project L/EARN cohort, I was seeking exposure to anthropological research that would lead me into a career of public health service. I wanted to pursue L/EARN because of my strong interest in anthropology and medicine. My previous experience in health care included studying for the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) examinations, volunteering as a Campus Health Educator (CHE), and participating in qualitative and quantitative research projects for almost three years.
The training as an EMT introduced me to patient and health care provider interaction and raised questions on streamlining the process. It also trained me to think critically and quickly, sharpen my leadership skills, and develop interview questions. Patients complained of many chronic and acute health problems that stemmed from their health behaviors and environment. The CHE initiative led me to value a community approach for health problems. In CHE, I worked to end racial disparities in organ donation and increase awareness of the need for organ donation and a healthy lifestyle. I met many individuals with personal stories that explained why they either did or did not want to donate.
New Cohort of RWJF Nurse Faculty Scholars
Twelve talented early-career nurse faculty have been selected as the seventh cohort of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Nurse Faculty Scholars. The award is given to individuals who show outstanding promise as future leaders in academic nursing.
Each scholar receives a three-year $350,000 award to pursue research, leadership training in all aspects of the faculty role, and mentoring from senior faculty at his or her institution. The scholars chosen this year are using their grants to study a range of issues, from pediatric asthma to dementia care to health literacy to HIV treatment to the use of technology to improve access and outcomes for rural and uninsured individuals.
At a time when many schools of nursing are turning away qualified applicants because they do not have the faculty to teach them, RWJF's Nurse Faculty Scholars program is helping more junior faculty succeed in, and commit to, academic careers. The program also is strengthening the academic productivity and overall excellence of nursing schools by developing the next generation of leaders in academic nursing.
Read more about the 2014 and final cohort of RWJF Nurse Faculty Scholars.
Eight Peers, One Family
Swet Patel is a sophomore at the College of New Jersey, majoring in psychology. He is a graduate of Project L/EARN, a 10-week summer internship that provides training, experience and mentoring to undergraduate college students from socioeconomic, ethnic and cultural groups that traditionally have been underrepresented in graduate education. Project L/EARN is a project of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research, and Rutgers University.
On May 27, 2014, I finally ended my teens and entered my 20s. But I will forever remember this date as more than just my birthday. This was the first day of Project L/EARN.
Like my peers entering the program, I expected to gain research exposure that would be a great résumé booster. Little did I know I would gain so much more than just research experience. Although the 10-week program was intensive, and at some points it made me question why I was doing it, I never imagined I would be able to achieve so much in such a short period of time. I realized after seeing the fruits of my labor—the poster, the oral presentation, and the paper—that this program was beyond worth it.
Project L/EARN boosted my confidence. I actually feel like a researcher. And it was truly remarkable that I was able to meet such diverse individuals from a wide range of fields during the guest lecture series. I learned a great deal from these esteemed professionals regarding the different aspects of health care. The networking the program provided gave me lifelong relationships that I will forever cherish.
Working Together to Draw More Nurses to Public Health
Patricia Drehobl, MPH, RN, is associate director for program development at the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). She is an alumna of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Executive Nurse Fellows program (2007-2010).
Human Capital Blog: CDC is engaging in new partnerships with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) to promote public health nursing. How did the new collaboration come about?
Pat Drehobl: CDC has funded some national academic associations for many years, including the Association of Schools of Public Health, the Association of Prevention Teaching and Research, and the Association of American Medical Colleges. We recognized the need to include nursing representation because nursing is the largest discipline in the public health workforce. We added AACN as a partner in 2012 when we developed our funding opportunity announcement to work with academic partners.
HCB: Why did CDC decide to reach out to the nursing community in 2012?
It's About More than Money
Heather J. Kelley, MA, is deputy director of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Future of Nursing Scholars program.
"Being selected as a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Future of Nursing Scholar was such an honor! I was already excited about starting my PhD program, but this took that excitement to another level. I wasn't sure what to expect from the boot camp, but it was truly transformative." - Laren Riesche, a Future of Nursing Scholar attending the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Riesche was one of the 16 new scholars I was privileged to meet on August 5 and 6 at our program's first-ever scholars' event. In addition to providing financial support to nurses to complete their PhDs in three years, the Future of Nursing Scholars program will also provide a series of leadership development activities. One of these activities is a boot camp which will be held for each cohort prior to the start of their doctoral programs.
The first-ever boot camp was a two-day event at which the scholars were able to meet and connect with one another, and begin the work of developing skills that will serve them well as they pursue their PhDs. Sessions addressed crucial issues, including developing strategies for peer coaching, and identifying and understanding one's own approach to change and exerting influence. The new scholars met with current doctoral students to discuss a variety of issues and were given time to network with program leaders, guest speakers, and each other. A workshop served as an introduction to scholarly writing and the event closed with a panel on selecting and working with mentors.

Top Teachers: Ryan Stein
Pinchbeck E.S., fourth grade
There's been a revolution at Pinchbeck Elementary. Take a moment and let the fourth-grade parents tell you about it:
"My daughter always complained about going to school until this year," said one. "Now she can't wait to go and she is so excited about what she is learning."
"My child was starting to dread school," said another, "because the rigor of the SOLs was creating pressure to squeeze so much material into the school day. Mr. [Ryan] Stein has creatively managed to marry fun with learning."
"[Our child] was struggling, had low self esteem due to low grades, and had little on-on-one attention and guidance from his prior school," said a third parent. This year he . . . never wants to miss school."
Even students who were "okay with school" in the BMS [Before Mr. Stein] era have been transformed – into wildly enthusiastic.
"My daughter comes home each day talking about all the things she is doing in class," said a parent. "She is eager to do homework [or] sing a song about [what she is learning]."
"In a few short weeks," added another, "Mr. Stein has turned my son around from being a reluctant reader to being an enthusiastic one. My son's grades have gone up and he can't wait to get to school.
"I have never seen my child so happy and eager to learn," wrote one enthused parent. "Mr. Stein is the teacher every parent dreams of having for their child."
In Ryan Stein's class, say parents, there is no such thing as rote memorization.
Instead of lecturing about the trials and tribulations of Jamestown, he has students dress up and hold a mock trial, playing the roles of judges and lawyers. He also brings in "mystery readers" from the community and writes songs for the students that teach Virginia history. The students then dress as characters from that period and sing the lyrics to create a "dance video."
"He is the textbook case for the way teachers should be teaching to prepare their students for the 21st century," wrote a parent. "In the first nine weeks of school, my son has already composed a PowerPoint book report and a video book, been a lawyer in a mock trial, acted in a rap video and filmed a Claymation animation video. That is some pretty techno-savvy work for fourth graders.
"Mr. Stein truly brings learning to life."
Outside of class, Stein (pictured with his class on '70s day) attends students' extracurricular activities and conducts voluntary reading groups, allowing students who have read the book to eat lunch with him and discuss it. He also invites students to stay after school and watch movies based on books the class has read. If a student is upset about something, he eats lunch with the child and shares his own growing-up experiences. During recess, when the boys in his class like to play football, he refuses to segregate the class and supervise the girls in a separate activity. Instead, he plays quarterback for the girls' team and leads them in games with the boys.
An advocate of year-round schools, Stein has created blogs and other tools as a way of extending learning outside the school day. Because instructional time is so limited, he said, it is imperative for students to have a tool that they will "embrace, enjoy using and learn from at home daily, including the weekends."
Stein, who has provided hundreds of workshops for college students and teachers on integrating 21st-century technology into teaching, said he developed his teaching philosophy by "stealing bits and pieces" from outstanding teachers and administrators he has known.
"But hands down," he said, "the greatest influence on me [as a teacher] has been my mother. Her passion, determination, work ethic, and enthusiasm for making a difference in the world are highlighted every single day in my classroom. She made me realize that life is about whom we are and what we give rather than what we have."
This past January, he experienced his most rewarding moment as a teacher when the 100th Virginia school chose to implement History MVP, the educational songs and computer software program he developed for daily instruction.
"My dream of implementing my innovative teaching tools and philosophy by using music and dance to engage, educate, and inspire children in school all throughout Virginia has finally come true," said Stein.
"I have found my profession to be extremely rewarding, and I am grateful to all my students for enriching my life."

Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

Previously on Survivor: Peanut Buttery Jeff watches a band of unknowns jump off a boat and fall into glory as they become near-household names. Endorsement deals, scandals, and many lame Letterman jokes later, and they are down to five grimy, conniving people, proving Sartre correct on an island with no exit. Kelly may be flip-flopping alliances. Rich spins Sue around angrily in that clip that we may never actually see in a Survivor episode ("Speak to me, woman!" he seems to say. "Know that I am master of all I survey, even the sand crabs!"). Colleen's scabrous, leprous, unglamorous, Tyrannosaurus-textured legs get a close-up, a premonition of her getting scratched off the island later on. The weather acts up, but the six Survivors act worse. Sean wins a night on a yacht with his dad and a masseuse; Kelly wins the immunity challenge; island cutie Colleen's luck finally runs out. (Deep breath.) Prepare yourselves. It's penultimate Survivor time.
Propa' props to Glark and Wing for last week's 'cap, Joanna for the previous ten, and Heathen from Making the Band for having a birthday today. Happy birthday, pal.
After the pumping music of the intro, I wait through commercials. Memo to Ericsson: would you knock it off with painting people's faces against a white background already? I already hate clowns; don't ruin women for me, too. Oh, and CBS wants you to know that Tim Daly (starring in this fall's The Fugitive) is the ultimate "Survivor." And I bet he got paid over $1 million for being so.
We open on a sunrise, Day Thirty-Four on the beautiful Pulau Tiga island. Pulau Tiga University sponsors a lecture on semantics by Prof. Richard Jigglesworth on the value of the Rattana tribe. According to Richard, Rattana has no meaning. Tagi meant something, but Rattana ain't nuthin' but a name. He even goes so far as to wax eloquent on the subject in the confessional. Sue stops stirring her pot full of eyes of newt and witches' wort to chime in and agree. His point, I think, is that the idea of tribes has broken down, and it's now down to just five individuals battling it out in a free-for-all, not unlike a budget-constrained WWF Pay-Per-View event.
Sean gets to talk smack about how everybody else is saying terrible things about each other. We get a little Sean Vs. Everybody montage where he is first lying down with his shirt pulled halfway up, then sitting up staring into space with no shirt and a cap on, then lying back down shirtless. In between are shots of everybody else. The effect, if it were in black and white, would make Sean look not so much stupid, but more the hapless main character in a German expressionist film.

|NCAA: Powe can't play for Ole Miss until at least 2008
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 28 August 2007 11:36
The NCAA said in a statement Tuesday that the highly sought-after recruit can attend classes at Ole Miss and receive financial aid, but he can't play football until at least the fall of 2008 - and only then if he's met academic eligibility requirements.
Powe, who has learning disabilities, has been working toward eligibility for two years. He signed with the Rebels in 2005, but the NCAA ruled he did not have the required core courses.
He signed again in 2006 after attending a prep school and taking correspondence courses, but the NCAA questioned whether he had received too much help while he attempted to qualify.
t of membership services. ``Mr. Powe has not achieved sufficient academic success under NCAA rules to permit athletics participation.''
Powe was elevated to the first team by coach Ed Orgeron after just a few workouts. But he was allowed to practice only on a temporary basis while he sought NCAA eligibility.
The NCAA issued a separate ruling Tuesday invalidating a portion of Powe's academic high school records provided to the NCAA because he completed ``a significant amount of coursework in an unusually limited amount of time - much shorter than the average time it takes students to complete similar courses.''
Orgeron was not immediately available to comment on the rulings.

One man was wounded and dozens arrested this morning in law
enforcement raids across Arizona that targeted outlaw bikers
suspected of bomb-making, murder for hire and narcotics violations.
Carlos Baixauli, an agent with the federal Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said more than 500 law enforcement
officers took part in the operation, serving warrants on Hells Angels
Motorcycle Club members and other organized crime suspects.
Baixauli said one man was wounded when he confronted Glendale police
SWAT officers as they entered the clubhouse for the Hells Angels'
Cave Creek chapter in the 1100 block of West Ironwood Drive in
Phoenix. The shooting victim, whose name was not released, was being
treated at a hospital.
Baixauli said this morning's raids culminated a two-year
investigation by Phoenix police and BATFE agents who infiltrated
criminal gangs with three undercover officers. He said 40 search
warrants and 36 arrest warrants were served in the synchronized raids
that began at 4:45 a.m.
The list of targets ranged from Kingman to Tucson to Bullhead City,
and included Hells Angels' clubhouses in Phoenix, Flagstaff and Chino
Valley. Assault teams entered homes and other buildings in search of
machine guns, bombs and drugs.
Suspect names were not immediately released, but Bauxauli said Ralph
"Sonny" Barger of Cave Creek, iconic leader of the worldwide Hells
Angels organization, was not among those arrested.
Details of the case were to be released later in the day in a search
warrant affidavit and during a news conference planned by federal

The TinCaps started off well, leading 3-0 after three innings with starter Bryan Verbitsky cruising in his team debut.
They never scored again, allowed two runs in the fourth and four in the sixth and dropped the opener of a four-game series with Great Lakes, 7-3.
Verbitsky went five innings and gave up two runs on five hits with six strikeouts.
Justin Livengood faced eight batters and four scored. He took the loss.
Victor Arano earned his second win of the season, going five innings and giving up three runs on four hits with six strikeouts.
Jake Bauers had a two-run triple in the second and scored on an RBI groundout by Jose Carlos Urena.
The TinCaps (9-14) had only two hits the rest of the way.
The Loons (14-10) went ahead on a three-run triple by Dillon Moyer.
The TinCaps lost three out of four at Great Lakes last week and had hoped being at home would produce better results.

This moody grey is the colour of storm clouds, the stormy ocean
Combine with ivory and cherry red, with touches of deep chocolate
– With golden yellow and slate blue and pearl grey
– With slate blue and pale blue and ivory
– With teal, bright blue and paler grey
– With coral and slate blue and cream
– With natural stone colours
– With robin's egg blue (see our Creative Colour – Duck Egg Blue), sage (grey) green and pale grey
– With plum, lavender and mid grey
– With beige, robin's egg blue, 'bronzey' brown and touches of black
– With royal blue and mid grey
– With rose pinks of many hues and ivory
– When using this colour think texture and shine. Use silks, satins, velvets, wools, things that are sparkly and things that have a soft lustre such as pewter itself, to add interest to a colour that could quickly become overwhelming and forceful
– Add softer elements such as fully opened roses or peonies, clouds of gypsophila, white hydrangeas, sugar frosted fruit, and subtle accents such as perfumed flowers tucked away in corners, soft unobtrusive lighting
– Succulents,
– Old zinc or tin troughs, brushed aluminium containers, black ceramic candlesticks, silver ice buckets, old wire birdcages, Lucite, old pewter containers
– Pewter grey crystal beaded runner over a lavender tablecloth, lavender and plum blossoms, pewter and plum coloured crockery, plum coloured napkins, brushed stainless steel cutlery, lavender invitations with pewter design work, pewter lustred favour boxes tied with lavender ribbon
– Trays of wheat grass in zinc tubs on pale grey tablecloths, pale grey or green candles grouped, napkins tied with a grey/green patterned ribbon and fastened with a teardrop crystal, green and clear mixed glassware, glass plates, charcoal grey suits for the men, pale grey dresses for the bridesmaids with green sashes, green shoes
– Hurricane lamps, lanterns, hand forged wrought iron candelabra – either free standing or table sized, bell jars
– Pewter grey linen, silver candelabra, rose pink napkins piped in grey, pale grey crockery, glasses edged in silver, paler rose coloured roses or peonies, candles in deep and mid rose and grey, vintage silver ice buckets, tureens etc used as vases, silver cutlery, old silvered mirrors, old lanterns on stands lining a pathway, rhinestones on shoes, clasp or headpiece, a soft pink dress for the bride, rose pink for the maids
– For a new take on a nautical theme, consider striped fabric in pewter grey and white (try finding 'ticking' fabric, or even a wider stripe) and add touches of other colour from your chosen palette. The striped fabric could be used as table cloths, tented around the walls and ceiling, repeated in pocket handkerchiefs and ties for the men, in ribbons around the bouquets or tying up napkins or favour boxes

I received a delightful little navy box in the mail a few weeks ago with the sweetest stationery inside. French Navy is a brand new Australian stationery range with clean designs and nod to the etiquette of yesteryear.
The passion for the range comes from Miss French Navy's background in advertising. Longing to find elegant stationery to reconnect with others through words, Miss French Navy created French Navy. With two distinct sides to the story – etiquette (etiquette tips are dotted throughout the French Navy website and blog) and stationery. Miss French Navy has brought them together into her new stationery line.
French Navy has six collections – Seasonal, Talk To The Animals, Baby Love, Just Because, Girl Talk and Celebration Time!. Crisp white note cards feature a bolt of colour through a small motif (we love Adam's Apple available in red or green) or equally styled fill in the blank invitations. There are feminine designs for bridal showers and hen's nights, designs for a simple thank you or a love filled note.
The French Navy range is just right for someone who isn't into fluff and fancy but still wants the joy of sending a handwritten note. The bold colours mean there's a design just right for any occasion.
French Navy products are available through the French Navy website.

Whiskey Sour Recipe?
Anyone know a recipe for a great whiskey sour, whether it's from scratch ingredients or with a favorite mixer? What's your preferred whiskey in it?
my dad would take a 4 oz can of frozen lemonade, dump it into a blender filled with ice, refill the empty lemonade can with whiskey, dump it into the blender, mix until all the ice has been chopped up, serve in a pony glass with a cherry, and enjoy!
then he would go and make himself a Manhattan, the Whiskey Sour was for my Mom and Aunt.....
re: Hammie
This is my favorite recipe for Whiskey Sours. I do not prefer to use mixes. I think the end product tastes fresher, but many swear by mixes. Here it is.
the juice from 2 lemons
the juice from 2 limes
2/3 c simple syrup (simple syrup is 1 c water and 1 c sugar
heated till sugar is dissolved.Chill)
1 c Jack Daniels (my preference)
re: ashwood
I have been on a real whiskey sour kick lately. I tweak it a little by adding the following.
Zest of 1/2 lemon. (I use one of those microplane graters)
One or two drops (not dashes) Peychaud's bitters
One scant drop Angostura bitters
I find the lemon zest and the bitters round the drink out nicely. If you noone told you, you would not even know they are there.
Have been tempted to try the old school egg-white thing as well...
re: StriperGuy
For me the egg white is really key to making this drink fantastic. Here is the recipe I've been using and loving:
2 oz Whiskey (Your Choice)
1 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Simple Syrup
1/2 Fresh Egg White
1 Dash Fee Brother's Old Fashioned Bitters
2 Dashes Regan's Orange Bitters
Dry shake all the ingredients for about 30 seconds then add ice and shake to chill.
You can read more on my blog if you're interested: http://cocktailhacker.com/?p=330
re: ShadowedOne
Tried egg white last night, and for me, did not really add to it.
re: StriperGuy
Is the egg white meant to do anything but give the drink a head? If that's the case, I guess I don't see the point.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
It gives it a foamy head and a distinct slightly slippery smooth mouth feel. I did not dislike the mouth feel, but did not feel it added anything either.
re: StriperGuy
Most commercial sour mixes contain egg whites just for the reasons listed by striperguy.
Ashwood's mixture is right on. Fresh lemon juice is the key. Also superfine sugar or simple syrup. Never, ever a store bought mix!
As for me, my preferred Bourbon is Wild Turkey Rare Breed, the Barrel Proof version of Wild Turkey at 108.2 proof. Oh, so smooth. Hammie, I guarantee your dad would keep this one all for himself!
I make mine with canadian whisky, ice cubes, splenda and lime juice (or lemon, i like limes). Simple syrup makes me cringe...so good but for the amount I drink in a sitting it requires an alternative.
Why use simple syrup when you can just use a good lemonade:
Juice of one lemon
Two shots bourbon
Two shots lemonade
An enjoyable mix, IMHO, is the one in a box made by Bar Tender's. It's sweet, though, so no need to use good hooch.
No one else here makes it with egg whites? Here's my house recipe from when I lived in Cali:
juice of two Mexican limes
juice of half a lemon
one tablespoon ultrafine sugar
two shots of whisky
one medium egg white
Put all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker, and shake until the egg froths up. Add ice, and shake vigorously. Strain and serve over fresh ice.
2 oz. bourbon
3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
1 oz. simple syrup (1:1)
half of an egg-white
dry shake the ingredients (without ice) for a minute or so to froth the egg, then add ice and shake hard for at least another minute.
strain and enjoy.

Associated Press
MOUNT OLIVE TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A northern New Jersey town has agreed to pay $25,000 to a man who was arrested after he called 911 from a police roadblock to ask the operator if they "lived in a Nazi state."
William Duncan Jr. was driving to a hospital to visit a relative in 2002 when he was stopped by Mount Olive Township police. Officers were looking through car windows for contraband.
Frustrated by the delay, Duncan called 911. Police charged him with calling 911 for nonemergency purposes. He spent two days in jail, but his conviction was overturned by an appeals court.
Duncan sued. In court papers, he said the police department harassed him and his family.

Park to raze postwar house atop Fredericksburg battlefield's Willis Hill
MORE: Read more news from Fredericksburg
In the coming days and weeks, a contractor for the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park will be mobilizing to remove the last buildings associated with Montfort Academy.
These structures, also known as the Richardson House and its detached garage, sit atop Willis Hill on the Marye's Heights and Sunken Road portion of the Fredericksburg battlefield.
The Richardson House was built circa 1888 and served as a private residence until acquired by the Daughters of Wisdom in 1948. The Catholic order operated Montfort Academy on Willis Hill for 50 years.
Following the 1997 sale of the property by the Daughters of Wisdom, the National Park Service took possession of the property and buildings with the intent to rehabilitate the landscape and incorporate Willis Hill into its interpretation of Marye's Heights and Sunken Road.
The NPS removed the other Montfort Academy school buildings in 1998.
An architectural assessment of the Richardson house and garage revealed that the house had been greatly altered over the years with additional construction and expansion of the structure.
In coordination with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, the NPS determined that the compromised architectural integrity of the structures and their lack of association with the Civil War battles fought in and around Willis Hill allowed for their removal.
Adjacent archaeological resources, including the site of significant 19th-century structures, will be protected during the removal process. While contractors are removing the two buildings, pedestrian access to Willis Hill will be restricted.
Alerts and updates about the work will be posted on the park's website, www.nps.gov/frsp.

The following is a Plus Edition article written by and copyright by Dick Eastman.
I recently published I Added Four Terabytes to My Personal Cloud at http://wp.me/p5Z3-ws where I described my recent addition of a huge networked disk drive to the local area network in my home. I now have more than five terabytes of available storage space, counting the new four terabyte disk drive plus some older devices I have used for several years. The space is available to be shared amongst all the computers owned by family members. In addition, any of us can access our files from anywhere in the world, using an Internet connection and a user name and password.
A newsletter reader recently wrote, "How can I use that if I don't have a local network?"
I suspect she does have a local area network in her home but probably doesn't know it. The same may be true for you.
Most broadband Internet connections these days include local area networks. If you only use your Internet connection on one computer, the installer probably never mentioned the network capabilities to you. There are a few exceptions, but I am guessing that 90% or more of all recently-installed, in-home broadband Internet connections include a local area network. If your broadband connection does include this capability, you can connect multiple computers, printers, hard drives, and more to the network and share them amongst family members. Depending on the software installed, you might be able to access your files from places outside your home if you enable this capability. Most Internet providers do not charge extra for using additional computers on an in-home network.

The additional train testing is needed along the entire line in an effort to test the operation of the trains and all train and signal systems for the Metro Expo Line. No date has been set for the opening of the line. Metro will select an opening date for the public once all systems and trains are thoroughly tested and operated.
Phase I of the Metro Expo Line is a new $932 million, 8.6-mile light rail line under construction from downtown Los Angeles to Culver City. It will have 12 stations with two stations shared with the Metro Blue Line. The new light rail line will serve USC, Exposition Park, The Mid-City communities, the Crenshaw District and Culver City.
Phase II of the Metro Expo Line, a $1.5 billion 6.6-mile extension from Culver City to Santa Monica, is funded under the Measure R half-cent sale tax initiative approved by the voters in 2008. Phase II will have seven stations serving West Los Angeles/Santa Monica and is expected to be completed in 2015.
Both Phase I and II of the Metro Expo Line are being built by the Expo Construction Authority. Once completed, they are turned over to Metro to operate.

Weddings Can Be Murder by Christie Craig
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Funny and sort-of-scary*. Fast paced. Tightly written. The characters ring true without being overblown. Yes, the character conflict isn't original; but it's well played. I would easily read another book by Christie Craig.
* Not Jack the Ripper scary or Ted Bundy scary...but Wow-That-Could-Really-Happen scary.
A fun romance/mystery story with dueling couples. Lots of build up and tension - a little let down at the quick ending though. A great vacation/beach read!
I got this as a free ebook, and I'm very glad it didn't cost me anything.
The romance is stronger than the mystery, but still not great. It starts off strong, but as soon as the initial set up (the main characters are locked inside a room in an unheated house during a cold snap by a serial killer and no one knows where they are) is over it's pretty much all downhill, with minor bright spots.
The heroine's constant mental dialogue about whether or not specific actions would be acceptable to her dead parents was tedious. I understand that the author was trying to make a point that she was living according to other people's (ridiculous) expectations, but it was overkill in my opinion.
The sections from the murderer's point of view really bothered me. He's meant to have a mental illness he's trying to hide, but the symptoms are a jumble. If anything the most obvious aspects point to an extremely poor depiction of autism, which is not a mental illness. As the parent of two kids with Autistic Spectrum Disorders I found this irritating. I don't know that the author thought through the particulars of this beyond "The killer is mentally ill." If you want to create a book with a character who has a specific condition, take the time and do your homework about that condition. Just saying, "mental illness" is not enough. It's hard enough to have a real mental illness or a condition like Autism without lazy depictions coloring people's perceptions of it.
I kept wanting the book to live up to its potential, but despite the minor bright spots (the hero's family was one), it never managed to get there.
First let me say, I only started reading this because I thought it was a mystery. It was a Friday Freebie from Nook. Ummm...it's not. It's a romance with some hokey mystery thrown in to give it a plot line.
It's a typical romance novel - girl meets boy, there are complications, girl decides she doesn't want/need boy and leaves. Boy pursues, girls relents and they live happily ever after.
The first half of the book held my interest - Katie and Carl locked in a room, temperatures plummeting (although it was set in Houston, Texas how far can they really plummet and for how long? I'm from Michigan and I know plummeting freezing cold temps) and a crazed killer on the loose. How do they escape their dungeon? How do they stay warm? How did the wedding cake samples end up with them? Convienant. How do they keep their hands off each other because they're falling madly in love? But they've just met, and most of the time they've been in the dark. Oh she smells nice, his coat wraps me in his scent. At that point, it becomes just another romance novel.
I finished reading the book because I was already halfway through it and I hate not finishing what I start. There needed to be more mystery, thriller elements and not the sexual kind to make this a truly good book. It does have it's moments though.
Be aware, the sex scenes tend to be graphic and some of them seem to have no point except to be a sex scene.
A month or so ago I promised I would read a romance novel. Two weeks ago, the Barnes & Noble Friday free ebook was Christie Craig's Weddings Can Be Murder. Rather than investigate in depth the recommendations of romances that men would enjoy, I went with easy and read this. This romantic suspense novel was actually passable, though still not good enough for me to recommend it. The mystery element of the story was surprisingly good, at least as far as the plot goes. Parts of the romance were pretty good too. Where Craig's novel fell short was the characters. Each character is pretty much a standard role: the tough as nails ex-cop who has a heart of gold, the good girl, the supportive but slightly wild friend, the nice but no spark fiance, and the bad guy with vague but obsessive mental illness. Familiar, but none of them had much of a spark of real character in them. If this were a Coen Brothers movie, they could turn it into something awesome. But reading it was pretty pedestrian.

I hate to admit it, but I have to get it off my chest. I was at the off road park a few weeks ago and met up with a Land Rover LR3. They were good fellas and we both decided to have a go at a mud hole. The rover went first, barely made it through. He had to back up and go forward a few times, but he made it. Had the suspension at max height, all the buttons clicked. Stock wheels and tires.
So obviously I'm thinking I can do the same. I go into it and get suck immediately, hard. I even went in it in 4low with the diff locker engaged. We established afterwards that I was at a clearance disadvantage and had been hung up on the cross member, but still. I was humbled. I have stock tires and suspension as well, but I had always considered the TRD to be one of the most capable off readers on the market. Maybe this is me coming off of having a 1st Gen (2004 TRD).
The rover was nice and winched me out. Just putting it out there because well, I was impressed with the Land Rover and disappointed with the Tacoma. I think I am mostly sad that the new TRD is less capable than the old one.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) -- The Supreme Court of Virginia has agreed to hear a case involving the death of a Norfolk police recruit.
John Kohn collapsed during self-defense training at the Norfolk Police Department on Dec. 9, 2010, and later died. A state Labor Department investigation found the 40-year-old Kohn was repeatedly struck in the head.
Kohn's widow, Patricia Kohn, sued a former police chief, a former acting police chief and several training officers in 2011.
Norfolk Circuit Court Judge Mary Jane Hall stopped the lawsuit in May 2013. Hall ruled that Virginia's worker's compensation law is the family's remedy.
Patricia Kohn appealed Hall's ruling to the Supreme Court. Her attorney, Steve Emmert, tells media outlets that he expects the court will hear the case in June or September.

Osteoporosis is not just a woman's disease - worldwide approximately one in five men aged 50 years or over will break a bone due to osteoporosis.
One-third of all hip fractures worldwide occur in men.
Men aged 50 years or over are more likely to break a bone due to osteoporosis than to develop prostate cancer.
Worldwide in the year 2000, the prevelance of fragility fractures (broken bones) in men was estimated at:
490,000 hip fractures (30.1% of all vertebrae cases)
554,000 vertebral fractures (39.1% of all vertebral cases)
3.5 million fragility fractures in total (38.7% of all fragility cases)
Men are twice as likely to die when compared to women further to a hip fracture, with a mortality rate as high as 37% in the first year following a fracture.
Mortality is increased after most fragility fractures in men, not only following hip fractures.
There is a growing concern that poor lifestyle habits in boys and teens - low level vitamin D and calcium intake as well as increasingly sedentary lifestyles - will impact on the aquisition of peak bone mass and affect their future risk of osteoporosis.
Excessive alcohol consumption (more than two units of alcohol per day) is associated with a 38% increase risk of suffering any fragility fracture and a 68% increased risk of hip fracture.
Current smoking is associated with a significantly increased risk of suffering broken bones: 29% increased risk of any fragility fracture; 68% increased risk of hip fracture.
An Australian study of older adults showed that 22.5% of women versus 9% of men had undergone bone testing, and 26.8% versus 8% had received osteoporosis treatment.
A clear sign of osteoporosis in adults is a previous fragility fracture - yet fewer than 20% of men who have already broken a bone are assessed and treated.
Despite their highrisk, men taking ADT for prostate cancer are often not being adequately tested and treated.
Adequate dietary calcium intake should be ensured. Recommended daily intake for men aged 19+ is 1,000mg per day and men aged 70+ is 1,300mgper day.
Men should get enough vitamin D through safe exposure to sunlight.
Men should partake in weight-bearing exercise about three sessions of 30 minutes per week.
Alcohol consumption should be limited (more than 2 units per day raises fracture risk) and men should quit smoking.

Fans cheer before the first half of an NCAA college football game between Alabama and LSU, Saturday, Nov. 5, 2011, in Tuscaloosa, Ala. (AP Photo/Dave Martin)
published Monday, November 7th, 2011
Wow, what a weekend. A good time was had by all. That said, for parents of young tots who may or may not be allergic to a full night's sleep, the clock-falls-back day is hugely underrated. It's one of the 10 best days of the year to be honest. It's nowhere near Christmas, Thanksgiving Memorial Day or the 4th of July, but it dominates Flag Day and some of those other non-descript days that get a little more pub.

Halden Prison
Coordinates: 59°8′25.703″N 11°17′11.55″E / 59.14047306°N 11.2865417°E
Halden Prison (Norwegian: Halden fengsel) is the newest prison in Halden, Norway. The prison was designed by Erik Møller Architects[1] and received its first inmates March 1, 2010 but was officially opened on April 8 by the Norwegian King Harald V. The prison has a capacity of 252 prisoners.
In an article in Time Magazine,[2] Halden Prison and the prison rehabilitation work were described. A cell includes amenities such as a television, a refrigerator, unbarred vertical windows that let in more light, and designer furniture. Prisoners share kitchens and living rooms every 10–12 cells, jogging trails, and a sound studio. There are cooking and music classes offered. Half the guards are women and guards are typically unarmed because guns "[create] unnecessary intimidation and social distance". Prisoners receive questionnaires that ask how their prison experience can be improved.
The article says that although recidivism rates are calculated differently between countries, only 20% of Norway's prisoners end up back in jail within 2 years (compared to 50%–60% in the UK and US). Prisoner governor Are Hoidal was quoted as saying, "In the Norwegian prison system, there's a focus on human rights and respect. We don't see any of this as unusual."
