Kansas high school quarterback killed in crash
A 16-year-old Pratt High School football player has died after his car crossed the center line and struck a semitrailer in south-central Kansas.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says 16-year-old Drake Evert was killed in the crash at 6:38 a.m. on K-61 near Preston. The Wichita Eagle reports the truck driver, Robert Myerski of Pennsylvania, was taken to Pratt Regional Medical Center but his condition was unavailable.
Pratt football coach Jamie Cruce says Evert was a popular student who was going to be the team's quarterback this fall.
A portion of the highway was closed for several hours because of the crash, which remains under investigation.

Union calls for worldwide boycott of Hyatt Hotels
BY FRANCINE KNOWLES Business Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com July 23, 2012 1:40PM
Updated: August 25, 2012 6:08AM
Labor unrest at Hyatt Hotels Corp. escalated Monday as Unite Here called for a global boycott of the Chicago-based hotel chain and the company took out a full-page Washington Post ad blasting the union campaign and defending its workplace practices.
The union held a press conference in Washington D.C. announcing the boycott with leaders from the AFL-CIO, NFL Players Association, the National Organization of Women, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, among others, labeling the company "the worst hotel employer in America."
Unite Here has been engaged in a long battle with the company protesting the outsourcing of jobs and working conditions. It represents, housekeepers, bell staff, restaurant workers and others.
"The launch of the global boycott marks the largest escalation to date in an ongoing campaign for basic worker rights," Unite Here said in a release Monday.
"Hyatt has abused housekeepers and other hotel workers, replacing longtime employees with minimum wage temporary workers and imposing dangerous workloads on those who remain."
Unite Here President John Wilhelm said in a statement "it is unacceptable in 2012 that women endure debilitating injuries as a result of the work they do cleaning rooms."
Hyatt accused Unite Here of engaging in "publicity stunts" and said the union has refused to allow Hyatt workers "to vote on the same wage and benefits proposals the union accepted at Starwood and Hilton hotels. As a result, Unite Here has denied Hyatt associates it represents the wage and benefit increases they deserve for nearly three years.
"Contrary to what Unite Here says, Hyatt provides industry-leading wage and benefits packages, maintains an outstanding workplace safety record, and is a recognized leader in promoting a diverse workforce."
The company said the boycott "will have a direct and negative impact on our associates, who depend on business in their hotels for their livelihoods."
In announcing the boycott, Unite Here also said it will engage in a week of demonstrations at Hyatt Hotels in 20 cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Honolulu, San Francisco and Boston.
In recent weeks, the National Labor Relations Board found there was merit that Unite Here Local 1 and Local 450 were bargaining in bad faith by refusing to schedule more frequent negotiating sessions and that a proposal by the union regarding strikes and work stoppages was overly broad making it unlawful. But the NLRB also found a hotel charge that the union was seeking to bargain and take work that had historically not been bargaining unit work did not have merit. That charge related to subcontracted work.
Since the labor dispute began, the union has staged short strikes at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, Hyatt Regency O'Hare, and Hyatt Regency McCormick Place. In May 2010, Hyatt Regency Chicago workers, led by more than 100 housekeepers, staged an impromptu walkout protesting working conditions.

Sarah Palin's Pregnancy During Campaign
Do Politicians' Personal Lives Matter to You?
The majority of you aren't interested in presidential sex lives, but politicians' personal lives in general are another story entirely. Do you care whether a politician has cheated on a spouse, lied under oath, or, um, faked a pregnancy for political gain? Are these good indicators of a public figure's character, or are you purely concerned with how a politician governs?

He built the original baseball field for the Cubs' predecessor, the Chicago White Stockings, and built the Palmer House Hotel. Palmer Park was created in 1904 by the South Park Commission. Under the guidance of superintendent J.

March 4, 2010 was originally a day of action to defend public education but involved a myriad of issues sparked by events leading up to March 4. The struggle was in solidarity with actions taking place on a state-wide, nation-wide, and international level in support of reforming education in order to improve its quality and accessibility for all. At UCD, protesters consisting mainly of students, joined at AM at and began .
Reasons for Protesting
Once the protest began, it turned into a large mob-like atmosphere. Statewide, the protest was about public education and budget cuts within the UC and CSU systems.
Major "big picture" protest issues were:
privatization of the University
lower quality of education
loss of jobs for janitors, faculty, staff, and student-workers
fee Increase: Every students' educational fee will increase 32%. Undergraduate tuition will increase $2,378 per year, going from $7,473 to * $9,811. This follows a long line of fee increases, as seen in the historic data: Upload new file "UCD student fees.xls"
In terms of educational cuts at UC Davis, the protest broadened to complaints about:
closure of the geography grad department
cuts to the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences: $3.8 million cut in funding for 2009-2010. It will go from $70 million to $66.2 million, a 5.2 percent decrease.
closure of Nematology
closure of Environmental Design
closure of the Textiles and Clothing division. No longer funding the department nor hiring teachers to replace those that retire. "There will be fewer TAs for discussions and laboratory courses, reduced maintenance and expansion of facilities and fewer student service and outreach funds." Aggie article
Other issues that people allegedly came out to support and protest about include:
closure of affordable and sustainable housing, specifically Davis Student Co-op
closure of the Breastfeeding Support Program
homophobia. This was sparked by vandalism done to the LGBTRC leading up to March 4.
anti-Semitism and pro-Nazism. This was sparked by a swastika drawn on the dorm-room door of a Jewish student and three swastikas spray-painted around campus.
racism. This was sparked by events at UCSD and Missouri University
Israel's aggressions on Palestine. This was sparked by UCI hosting the Israeli Ambassador to the United States.
So many reasons! How are they interconnected?
Civil Disobedience and Police Reaction
Demonstrators were forcibly barred from marching onto I-80, with less-than-lethal weapons deployed and one student arrested. The SacBee confirms that the California Highway Patrol were authorized to use less than lethal force, including pellet guns, which were used to fire a pepper ball and either rubber bullets (according to KCRA) or beanbags (according to the Aggie), hitting some people in the legs (story). The protests coincided with student protests around the country.
Early in the day on their Twitter feed, the California Aggie claimed that the California Highway Patrol was using tear gas on protesters, but has since stepped back from that claim, having contacted the UC Davis Police Department who confirmed there were no tasers or tear gas used. UCDPD did confirm that officers used pepperballs. Since then, some witnesses have defended their claims of having heard tasers, and one of those people — an Aggie photographer — took a photo that appears to show a stun gun in use. The CHP has told the Aggie that the stun gun was pointed at the protester, but never fired. An AGTV video contradicts this account, clearly showing a Taser being used in drive-stun mode.
Fire alarms were pulled repeatedly all over campus throughout the day. Graffiti like "Defend Public Education" was spray painted on campus buildings.
Police and Highway Patrol Concerns
Preventing people on I-80 from being delayed by protestors.
Preventing unnecessary death or injury caused by protestors running onto the freeway.
Preventing further property damage/vandalism.
I-80 Confrontation
The most notable confrontation occurred when students moved toward I-80 and the police set up a line with cars and law enforcement armed with crowd control gear (photo). Fifth year student Laura Mitchell was arrested by Davis Police and Yolo County Sheriff deputies, but the SacBee is reporting that she was cited for grabbing an officer's baton and has been released with charges of resisting arrest, unlawful assembly and failure to disperse.
The protests were stopped by a line of police just short of the interstate, but similar protests in the Bay Area resulted in the closure of the 880 in Oakland. This just demonstrates once again that Davis always looks lame when trying to imitate Cal. Perhaps Davis should try to be itself and plan more Cow-themed protests in the future.

2010-03-04 19:47:30 I'd like to point out how much money these protests have cost the University, City, county, and state in terms of overtime, cleanup costs, and a wasted workday for many. In an era where the state is more or less bankrupt, protesting like this is not the way to help your cause in the eyes of anyone with a brain. Trying to shut down I-80? really? Just plain dumb. —ARWENNHOLD
2010-03-04 23:25:35 I'm starting a counter-protest movement to (peacefully) combat and speak out against these irrational wacko protesters. I've tentatively named the movement "the UC Loyalists" but it could be changed if anybody thinks of a better name. E-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com —JamesChalmers
2010-03-05 00:20:10 This I-80 protest reminds me of when I was an anti Vietnam War student activist at Cal State LA. In 1970 after the shootings of Kent State students and at the height of student protests, some students were gathered and one male student (I still remember his name.) said, "Lets go to the Freeway." (The I-10 San Bernardino Fwy in East LA - I didn't go.) They walked there and stopped traffic for about 20 minutes if I remember correctly. It was a big news story of a questionable protest. —BruceHansen
yeah, about a million students protested after the shootings at Kent State and the death of 4 students shot in Ohio. That was a sad sad event. —JessicaRockwell
In January 2010, the Governor, in his State of the Union address, proposed a constitutional amendment that would guarantee at least 10 percent of the California budget for the University of California and California State University systems, gradually scaling back prison funding to reach that number. Awesome, right? If state voters approve the amendment, funding would begin shifting from prisons to universities as early as 2011. By 2014-15, prisons would be limited to 7 percent of the state budget. -ES
2010-03-05 08:19:12 What surprises me is that people are surprised by the I-80 thing. It makes a ton of sense - what else would give more publicity? I imagined it more like a game of chicken: the protestors hoped they'd be stopped in time, but had to carry on the bluff and the police couldn't chance it not being a bluff. There is no surer way of getting on national news and having people in every state hear of you than being the dummies who almost got on a major highway.
2010-03-05 09:27:10 I agree with the sentiment: clearly taking out our state's budget shortfalls on individual students trying to obtain higher education is problematic, however destructive protests seem counterproductive to me.
Picketing, sit ins, etc., sure, but blocking freeways and vandalizing buildings all while wearing masks doesn't help your cause. It gets you attention, sure, but it makes people think "screw these dumb kids, they're just criminals anyway". Wearing a mask sends the wrong message. The point of a protest is to visibly take a stand for something you believe in. Making yourself anonymous is an indication that you are embarrassed by or ashamed of the actions you're taking. It also sends the wrong message to the public as it makes them mentally associate you with criminality, especially when you wear what frankly looks like the kind of mask a stereotypical criminal would wear.
Getting attention is only half the battle. You need to get attention and get people on your side. —rfrazier
2010-03-05 16:25:36 to reply to rfrazier, we only put on the masks when police starting firing the pepper spray or tear gas or whatever it was that they were using. —ashiggins
2010-03-06 09:06:17 Its funny that anti-semitism and Israeli aggression are both listed in the reasons for protesting section. —jefftolentino
Indeed. —CovertProfessor
Anti-Semitism is being against a person because they are Jewish while being against Israel's aggression to Palestine means being against a government policy that has created the oldest refugee crisis going on today. Just as there are Jewish and Israeli people who oppose the Israeli government's egregious behavior towards Palestine, there are people who are not Jewish that are also against Israel's gov while supporting people's right to be Jewish. —JessicaRockwell
And what is it when a person protests Israel but ignores equivalent or worse aggression committed by other nations? What is it when a person supports the actions of those who are anti-semitic? What is it when a person ignores the fact that they are feeding into others' anti-semitism? In short, I think people can mean well, but be quite naive. —CovertProfessor
And there are also people who are not Jewish or Palestinian, but support Israel's right to be a sovereign nation. —JoePomidor
2010-03-06 11:19:42 I thought it was a public education protest. —TomGarberson
2010-03-06 11:28:51 No, it was a protest for anything that was bothering you at the time. —ScottMeehleib
Your Taco Bell joke made me laugh a lot, that was pretty funny. -ES
Hahaha yeah, I cracked up when I saw that. Too bad it didn't last a little longer! -tg
2010-03-06 11:35:27 Me too. I'm particularly confused about how things like protesting Israeli politics or the size of the Taco Bell waiting area are related to education funding.
IDNE, I think the Taco Bell thing was Scott's parody of the inclusion of completely unrelated stuff. -tg
Ahh...you're right. It fit in so well though! :-) —IDoNotExist
I would imagine that some protesters might be rather unhappy to learn that their protest for one goal had been hijacked to protest completely unrelated causes that they might strongly disagree with. It's a bit like writing a letter and signing your name, then having someone else come along and add a new sentence to the letter that you are opposed to, and signing their name too, so now it looks like you support *their* cause.
On the other hand...perhaps you could show up at a random protest with a sign suggesting that everyone place all of their money in your bank account. Since being present and taking *some* position apparently implies that the group is protesting in support of your particular position, maybe that will pay for your retirement! —IDoNotExist
I'm reminded somewhat of a rally that took place my freshman year here, probably in Spring '03. I lived in Tercero B Building, and right outside, at Casa Cuauhtémoc, there was a rally about racism and racial inequality in education and that kinda stuff. I thought it was kinda cool, and watched for a while out of the balcony at the east side of the building. They had several excellent speakers. But within about an hour or so, someone got on the bullhorn or microphone and started a chant of "KILL THE WHITEY" that went on for a good 5 or 10 minutes before people finally settled down. The lesson I learned from that is you can have a really well-intentioned group that gets together and turns into a group of raving idiots because one lone rabble rouser with a microphone triggers a mob mentality and turns their goals to shit, making their movement 100% counterproductive. Like that event, I found Thursday's protest to begin with a good message, but by the end of the day, it became obnoxious and counterproductive with no positive contribution to the movement's goals. I hope for the sake of the protesters that it was at least cathartic. —TomGarberson
I've heard people talking about the protest all over Davis for the past few days. Most people are focusing on the I-80 event, rather than the intended message about funding for higher education, which was the intent of the protest. (You can see that reflected here on the Wiki too.) That's really sad, because they had an important message to get out, but the message is being lost in the discussion about the wisdom (or lack thereof) in trying to walk onto an active major Interstate. —IDoNotExist
And here is what this professor would recommend, to counteract this phenomenon: Students should write into the Davis Enterprise and tell their stories. Briefly explain how these program cuts and tuition increases have and will impact you personally, and how they delay or make difficult your life goals. Get the community refocused on the issues, and let them know that there are serious impacts. Because you can bet all the the other letters to the editor will be complaints about the protest and the whiny students. —CovertProfessor
2010-03-06 14:26:53 Someone pulled fire alarms in lab buildings. It did not impress students or professors who have time sensitive materials and lose a week's worth of work because of a false alarm.
Way to alienate a potential support base protesters. —OliviaY

Damages is a hit drama on FX.
The series is a thrilled set in the world of New York City litigation. It stars Glenn Close as shady, no-nonsense lawyer Patty Hewes.

With Hewes, more than just fortunes are at stake. Lives are, too. She plays a dangerous game of litigation that has caused Ellen to fight back. The tension between these two is the driving force behind Damages.

I was recently hired as a LVN/LPN instructor- both classroom and clinicals. My back ground is OB, as you can tell by my name, so much of this will be 'new' to me since I haven't worked med/surg for 11 years. I have a few weeks before I start, and I'm trying to find out if there are any textbooks or programs specifically for LVN/LPN instructors, some guidelines for teaching, tips, etc that I can study up on prior to starting. Thanks in advance.
- 1May 25, '10 by VickyRN Senior ModeratorWelcome to allnurses and congratulations on the new position!
First of all, what is your job description? What subjects will you be teaching? What sorts of labs will you be conducting? Where will you be having clinicals?
Have you seen the syllabi for the courses/ clinicals/ labs that you will be facilitating? What are the objectives? Do you have any resources from faculty who have taught these assignments before?
Are there any faculty available at your school of nursing who will be mentoring you during your first year?
- 0May 26, '10 by 1996RNthese are all great questions that you asked. in fact, i asked most of them too and was told that i would find out everything on my first day of orientation. they said all i'll be expected to do that first day is sit back and take it all in. well i'm a planner and i want to know what i'll be taking in... lol. i've emailed both HR and DON and both have told me that i'd find out everything on my first day. so what can i do in the meantime??
- 1Jul 18, '10 by sallypzCongrats on the job. I, too, teach in a LPN program...only clinicals at this time. (and I also teach a CNA course). First thing to do would be to get all the textbooks they use in the program & get the instructors copy. Then find out if there is any accompanying instructors resources that the publisher of the textbooks offer. Many companies offer a variety of things for instructors, including complete sets of power points that can be used in class. Also ask the school what resource materials they have in the department for instructors. They may have videos, DVDs for classroom on aspects of theory and clinical skills. Ask for the syllabus and clinical forms they will use. Then go on-line and search for instructor resources, either in general or break it down by specific subject area. Don't forget to look at sites like You-Tube for Nursing skills videos. Then organize what you have. Find a little area of your house to use as your 'office' area. I organize all my materials by semester in big notebooks, keeping my handouts and resources notes there too. Good luck...hope that helps to get you started.
- 0Jul 21, '10 by lkwashingtonI have a interview tomorrow for a LPN program teaching position. Is there anything I need to know or keep in mind? I would appreciate any advice given. Thanks and good luck to you with planning.
- 0I too just accepted a position as an LPN instructor and I am so excited! I appreciate this thread because orientation is next week for and since I have no teaching experience, I need all the help I can get. Academics has always been my strong point, I graduated honors from both adn and bsn programs. Thank-you all.
- 0Oct 15, '11 by 1996RNwell what i quickly learned that they fully expected me to use a variety of creative teaching, not just lecture. i was on a serious time crunch the whole time i was there. there was always some sort of activity by the school or evals on their last instructors that cut into my lecture time. my classes were not always the quickest of learners, due to the type of place i taught. it was very frustrating how they cut a 3 hr lecture time into 1 hr, but i was still expected to cover all of the material. i came in early and stayed late, and even met the students back at the school after clinicals to try to tutor the students. til they said no more overtime. they also began to tell me that the students 'paid to get passing grades' and i was to do whatever was necessary to make them pass. they even fired a seasoned instructor because some students failed her class- medical math. i got out as soon as this happened, i felt very unethical and couldn't be a part of it anymore, but the job itself was awesome.
- 0TY for responding. I guess i am in the same position as u were a year ago. Some of that sounds disheartening, I hope the school that I am with is better than that. What do u do now? I think I wanna stick with education and i tink this is a great way to build experience. What was the first class like?
- 3Oct 15, '11 by 1996RNthe students were very cut-throat and if you didn't basically tell them everything that was on their quizzes and exams, they went straight to the DON and complained on me. I received a lot of attitude and mumbles of how bad of an instructor i was. i took it a little bit personally but not too bad. there was a lot of stumbling and then intimidation by the students. after my first go round, i became better and better, totally comfortable teaching the lectures. i always wanted to tell these interesting stories in the OB class since i've seen some really bad OB emergencies. i figured it would be interesting (they loved it!), but i always ended up running late on my lectures. they will do anything they can to intimidate and take control of the classroom, but you have to set the bar from the beginning. establish control and reprimand from day 1. dont try to get their approval, teach them that you are only telling them how it is in the real world, and that type of behavior is not acceptable as a professional. they will walk all over you and push you to find your limits. just dont lose control during class. okay, hopefully you have a better population than i did. mine was the type of vocational school that was really expensive but they never turned down anybody and financed anybody, regardless of credit history. so it was a last resort for many of them. it was all about the numbers. anytime you told them they needed to read a chapter in their book, they were all quick to moan and groan about how much $$ they were paying to be TAUGHT or TOLD the material on the tests. and management needed to maintain the passing rate to keep the funding coming in. my job was truly a business, not a school. i can only hope you have a much better experience than them. oh yeah, and dont EVER think any of your students is your friend. they will turn on you SO quickly. Don't let your guard down and keep those boundaries up. It will bite you in the butt as it did to me my first go round. i quickly learned that you cannot trust anybody. sad but true.

Lately I have been receiving a number of real letters sent through the post office. I really love a real letter. I love unfolding it, seeing the personal and unique handwriting and reading the contents. Mail is still alive and well. I have always looked with anticipation into my mailbox to see what it holds for me. Real excitement is when the mail person, mine is named Cindy, rings the doorbell. That can only mean I got something too big for the box at the curb. Oh Happy Day!
Lately, Cindy has been a-ringing my bell.
Look at this lovely box.
Look at the straps that embrace it.
Look at the cool metal corners.
Look at all the cool mailing tags and labels.
Feel the sturdiness of the box itself.
Oh, and those straps...how cool are they?
At this point, John gently reminds me that perhaps there just might be something inside this very cool box. Yes, there was.
Mike Meador had won a large lot of vintage stamps off of ebay that came right after he passed away. He had told me about bidding on them and was really excited about getting them. His wife Chris divided them up among Mike's friends and sent them out. The larger stamp is about 8" high! I have never seen one so big. I love number and letter stamps. Mike always had little give-aways at his booth and Chris had a table full of them for guests at the service. She added some in my box. Thank you, Chris. I will think of both of you every time I use them. But, I am still marveling over the cool box......
Yesterday a big brown box was left at my door, I wasn't expecting anything and neither was John.
Inside was this pretty box:
And inside the pretty box was a very nice surprise from Lynne Perrella.
The cups are part of the "Toast & Marmalade" pattern from Emma Bridgewater (England). I have the basics in this pattern, but did not have these. Aren't they fun? How observant of Lynne and how sweet to send them to me.
I am a lucky girl!

As Radio Free Sarawak is taking a Gawai holiday break we catch up with PKR Advisor Datuk Sri Anwar Ibrahim. Last Friday he did an interview with Malaysiakini about the Sarawak election. Peter John questions him on some of the issues including corruption and plans to combat the problems they faced. He feels the election could be as early as August of this year. Sarawak immigration officers caught up with political activist Ong BK in Bengoh, Kuching, yesterday and ordered him out of the state. Ong, a coordinator of the Malaysian Election Observers Network (MEO-Net), entered Sarawak through Bintulu on earlier that week with no difficulties, but 10 officers stopped him at the Bengoh Dam security post this morning and escorted him to the immigration office in Pending. He suggests he was being deported because "some politicians don't like me—politicians who don't like their vote buying and abuses of power being exposed by MEO-Net." Peter John finds out more. SADIA Secretary General Nicholas Mujah who was with BK Ong at the time discusses the unfair deportation of his NGO friends. And BRIMAS Director Mark Bujang talks about 100 residents from Long Sebayang and Long Napir who protested against alleged illegal logging and encroachment on their NCR land. They have reported to the police and the local government but no one has acted on their requests to date. Finally the Radio Free Sarawak team would like to wish everyone a very happy Gawai Dayak! Enjoy your celebrations!!

These letters are just fun. Just one quick question, though, do you think that it would work with different colors instead of just using different shades of the same color?

Covariance matrix
C = cov(x)
C = cov(x,y)
C = cov(x,1)
C = cov(x,y,1)
C = cov(x), if x is a vector, returns the variance of x. For matrix input X, where each row is an observation, and each column is a variable, cov(X) is the covariance matrix. diag(cov(X)) is a vector of variances for each column, and sqrt(diag(cov(X))) is a vector of standard deviations. cov(X,Y), where X and Y are matrices with the same number of elements, is equivalent to cov([X(:) Y(:)]).
C = cov(x) or C = cov(x,y) normalizes by N – 1, if N > 1, where N is the number of observations. This makes cov(X) the best unbiased estimate of the covariance matrix if the observations are from a normal distribution. For N = 1, cov normalizes by N.
C = cov(x,1) or C = cov(x,y,1) normalizes by N and produces the second moment matrix of the observations about their mean. cov(X,Y,0) is the same as cov(X,Y) and cov(X,0) is the same as cov(X).
Consider A = [-1 1 2 ; -2 3 1 ; 4 0 3]. To obtain a vector of variances for each column of A:
v = diag(cov(A))' v = 10.3333 2.3333 1.0000
Compare vector v with covariance matrix C of A:
C = cov(A) C = 10.3333 -4.1667 3.0000 -4.1667 2.3333 -1.5000 3.0000 -1.5000 1.0000
The diagonal elements C(i,i) represent the variances for the columns of A. The off-diagonal elements C(i,j) represent the covariances of columns i and j.
cov removes the mean from each column before calculating the result.
The covariance between two random variables is:
where E is the mathematical expectation and μi = Exi.

HIFIVE builds on USAID's longstanding support to the financial sector to increase the supply of financial products and services to underserved households and micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in USAID-supported areas and value chains. On a smaller scale, HIFIVE also offers business development services to MSMEs in U.S. Government-supported value chains to increase their capacity to access credit.
After the earthquake, St. Boniface hospital received several spinal cord injury patients from different regions of the country. Therefore, with USAID support, the St. Boniface team started a comprehensive program for the management of patients with spinal cord injury in 2011. The services offered include medical care with an emphasis on wound care, psychosocial support, physical rehabilitation, occupational therapy, wheelchairs reparation, patient and household training, and vocational training.
USAID awarded the "Avoid HIV and its Transmission" (EVIH-T) project to Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for Communication Programs, who leads a consortium including JHPIEGO, Save the Children, and local non-governmental organizations such as INHSAC and FOSREF. The project is being implemented in close collaboration with the Department of Health Promotion and Environmental Protection of the Ministry of Health (MOH/DPSPE), the National AIDS Control Program (NACP), and the Ministry of Education.
The Haiti earthquake on January 12, 2010, struck and further weakened a health system with historically poor health outcomes. This is particularly true for the public health facility infrastructure in Haiti, which, in addition to facilities destroyed or damaged in the earthquake, has serious infrastructure shortfalls throughout the health system such as: structures that are in poor condition or not seismically resilient, lack of clean water and adequate sanitation, and lack of availability of adequate power.
The overall goal of the Leadership, Management, and Sustainability Program (LMS/Haiti) is to strengthen the leadership and management skills of Haiti's Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP) to respond to the challenges of reproductive health commodity security and the delivery of quality family planning and other health services.

Anyone else feel like there list of things to do and get keep growing before the baby gets here? I had my baby shower 2 weeks ago, and we were so blessed to get the big things from our registry! I was really shocked because I only had about 25 people there and they all got us the big stuff, and only a couple of outfits and blankets, and small supplies.
So, I have been trying to figure out all of the little things I need to get the house in order, and have on hand for the baby. I don't drive so having what I need at home is very important (one of the big reasons why we are cloth diapering, and breast feeding).
Every time I cross something off I feel like I add two things. I constantly have a pad of paper by me in order to add to the list!!
You're ahead of me!! My shower is this weekend and once I see what we get from the registry I'm going to make a list of what we absolutely need and get it all by next weekend so I can have the nursery done and checked off the list.
Remember to still take time to rest!
sarahbethski04:I completely understand. Especially when I feel like my house is in good order then I set something up and there's pieces of plastic/cardboard everywhere. Eh, one day at a time.
So true! The cardboard is making me crazy. After the baby shower there is literally a mountain of it in our basement, and I used my completion discount at BRU and bought 25 things, and they came in about 15 boxes this week. I just throw them down the basement stairs so my husband can break them down, and hopefully get them to the recycling center before she is born!
I have felt this way too. What I did is I got a friend of mine who is a seasoned mommy to come over and go through everything I had after the shower and hand me downs etc. She helped me sort through what I need, get rid of what I don't need, and make a list of what I actually still need to get. It cut down on a TON of clutter and put me on a proactive track to what is necessary and logical. Since then, I have been able to prioritize a whole lot better and have even been able to mark things off my list that weren't really necessary in the first place.
ETA: Moral of the story that I forgot to mention... My nursery is done, I have all drawers in her closet organized by size, hospital bag packed, car seat in the car, stroller put together, pack n play put together and placed where we are going to keep it, as well as all other big things (like swing, bouncer, tummy gym, etc)

Play table tennis at home with a ping pong table
From backyard birthday parties to teen hangouts in the basement, ping pong tables are the perfect choice for entertainment either indoors or out. Most outdoor ping pong tables can be folded up for easy storage and to protect them from the elements when they're not in use. Other table tennis tables are designed to transform a billiards table, air hockey table or any other flat surface into a ping pong table for double the use. At Sears, you'll find both indoor and outdoor table tennis tables as well as accessories such as nets, paddles and balls.
While lawn games like croquet and lawn darts are a big hit when the weather is pleasant, ping pong can be played year-round by rolling the table underneath an overhang or inside a garage. Complete your game room or family room with a high-quality ping pong table from Sears. Most table tennis tables are compact and lightweight enough to be folded up and moved into storage when you're finished playing. Be sure to stock up on accessories like additional balls in case a few get lost in the heat of competition.
Casual players and intense competitors alike can enjoy the entertainment of table tennis with their very own table from Sears.

On the Headquarters card, it states that you can get one of "your guild's agents" from your resource deck. Does this mean one of the cards that says your guild name at the top (one of your starting cards), or does it include all of the personalities that have been acquired in your deck (they have "joined" your guild)?

really enjoyed reading Sleepless. From the moment I saw the delightfully
gorgeous cover and read the first page, I was hooked and couldnt put it down.
The author did an amazing job at developing the characters and creating a
gripping tale that will hold your attention until the very end and even long after.
I was smitten with Eron and I now long for a sandman of my very own. The story
is written in two perspectives, Erons and Julias, and the chapters alternate
between the two. I thought this added to the books overall appeal and allowed
me to have a better feel for what was going on. I highly recommend this cute,
young adult fantasy and Im excited to read more novels by this author. Sleepless
is the second novel of Cyn Balog . Her debut novel was Fairy Tale and she has yet
another, no doubt enticing, novel named Starstruck, which will be released the
summer of 2011.
