Allegiant Air adds five new Hawaii routes
Allegiant Air is rapidly expanding its presence in Hawaii, announcing this morning that it will add five routes to the state this fall.
To Honolulu International, Allegiant will add nonstop service from four cities. They are Bellingham, Wash.; Eugene, Ore.; Santa Maria, Calif.; and Stockton, Calif. To the Kahului Airport on the island of Maui, Allegiant will add nonstop service to Bellingham, Wash.
All five routes will launch between Nov. 14 and Nov. 18.
Allegiant will offer two flights a week on both Hawaii routes out of Bellingham. The carrier will fly one round-trip flight per week on the other routes.

Allegiant announced its first Hawaii routes just last month, saying it planned to add service to Honolulu from both Las Vegas and Fresno beginning in late June.
With today's news, Allegiant now has announced service to two Hawaiian airports from a total of six mainland U.S. cities.
"We are pleased to expand our presence in the islands with nonstop service to Maui and additional nonstop service to Honolulu from four more of our existing markets," Andrew Levy, Allegiant Travel Company president, says in a release. "This is especially exciting because it comes shortly after announcing initial service to Hawaii from Las Vegas and Fresno. We anticipate the new service will be very popular, especially when customers take advantage of great deals when bundling their air, hotel and car rental."

The culmination of the professional golfing season is coming. Officials from the PGA were in Western New York on Thursday to meet with media, three and a half months before this summer's PGA Championship. YNN's Don Heins was part of the excitement at Oak Hill.
It may be 15 weeks away, but the PGA Championship took center stage at Oak Hill on Thursday, as excitement fills the air.
"The city of Rochester, the members of Oak Hill, they're veterans when it comes to staging major events. That's what this club does best. They stage major championship events better than just about anybody else on the planet," said Julius Mason, PGA senior director of communications.
"You have the best players in the world, playing on a very challenging, demanding, but exciting golf course. We hope it's going to be a spectacular championship," said Kerry Haigh, PGA chief championship officer.
On Thursday, August 8, these grounds will be full of the best golfers in the world. PGA officials call it the strongest field, and deepest international field, of any major event.
Invited are the top 70 PGA Championship points leaders, all Ryder Cup participants, the last five winners of every major championship, and all living PGA Championship winners.
"Last year, we had 99 of the top 100 players in the world competing at Kiawah. We firmly hope, or expect, it will be a similar number this year," said Haigh.
The 18th green is where Shaun Micheel stood in 2003 and this year's champion will stand to hoist the Wannamaker Trophy, which is noted by PGA officials to be the largest and heaviest of any major championship trophy. Perhaps it's fitting, going to the winner of a field they boast to be the strongest.

Most voters didn't go the ballot box to demand dirtier air and contaminated water. And yet Republican leaders have proudly proclaimed that gutting environmental safeguards is one of their top priorities for the new Congress. They have vowed to roll back national limits on climate change pollution, strip protections from waterways that feed drinking supplies, and launch a host of other attacks.
Incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says his top priority for the next session is "to try to do whatever I can to get the EPA reined in."
That's a bold statement to make when the vast majority of Americans value the EPA's role in protecting their families from pollution. Seven out of 10 Americans, for instance, support the EPA's effort to limit climate change pollution from power plants, according to an ABC/Washington Post survey.
The GOP pro-polluter agenda is out of step with what Americans want. Republicans may have gained control of the Senate, but they did not receive a mandate to dismantle environmental safeguards.
Given the dismal voter turnout in the midterms, it's hard to declare a mandate for anything.
- 36.2 percent of eligible voters participated in the midterm elections, the lowest turnout since World War II. Even if every single one of them favored the GOP, the party still wouldn't have the majority of Americans behind them.
- Several races were settled by small margins. The Brennan Center for Justice reports that Republican Thom Tillis won the North Carolina Senate race by a margin of 1.7 percent—about 48,000 votes.
- Republicans lost among people under 40 years old and among all minority voters, according to the National Journal.
- The voting center grew this year: 40 percent of voters identified as moderates, while 36 percent called themselves conservative, down from 42 percent in the 2010 midterms. Fewer voters are calling for the radical changes espoused by the Tea Party.
- Since the last midterm election, 21 states have enacted more restrictive voting laws, which means fewer people are able to vote and fewer voices are being heard.
- 69 percent of all dark money—campaign funding from undisclosed donors—went to Republican candidates. The vast majority of it came from the Koch brothers and Karl Rove's American Crossroads/GPS—polluter friendly groups known for attacking environmental safeguards. That money means Mitch McConnell may be able to claim the Koch Brothers' mandate, but certainly not a mandate from the voters.
These numbers paint a picture of a discouraged electorate. Many are tired of the gridlock in Washington; many are overwhelmed by the money in politics. But nowhere in the polling does it say Americans want to breathe dirtier air or get hit by more extreme weather brought on by climate change.
Indeed, exit polling showed that six out of 10 voters leaving the voting booth support the EPA's effort to limit climate change pollution from power plants.
Republicans won several hard fought races this year, but they would be wise not to let it go to their heads. When candidates won roughly 52 percent of about 36.2 percent of eligible voters, making a declaration of war against the environment sounds like the beginnings of overreach.
Compare those small portions to the 98 percent of scientists who say climate change is a serious threat to our health and wellbeing. Now that's what I call a mandate for action.

The Four Types of Orgasms
I was married for 15 years and am now divorced. I didn't experience an orgasm during sex until late in my marriage. Now I am in a very loving relationship with someone else. I enjoy our sex very much, but I have yet to have an orgasm. Sex with my new partner is very good from start to finish, but no matter how relaxed I feel or how good he feels, I don't have the type of orgasms where your body shakes. Is there such a thing as just plain enjoying the lovemaking and staying extremely moist without having an orgasm? Are there different types of orgasms? --iVillager ''J''Question:
Dear J:
Great question! And one that has stumped sexologists and sexual bliss-seekers alike. I recently talked with DJ Lydia of iVillage's Music Network about this very topic. In my clinical work and research, I have found that there appear to be four anatomically specific orgasms: clitoral, G-spot, vaginal and anal. Yes, each of these sexual areas seems to produce a unique sensation and type of orgasm. And naturally, each one is stimulated by a finger or hand, mouth, penis, vibrator, dildo or some other object or mechanism. That is not to say that all orgasms must occur in or from those four regions. In fact, some sex research shows that women can experience that full-body orgasm or even feel their orgasmic peak from simply kissing or being in the moment (using their bodies and minds) during sex.
There are four books that I recommend for learning more about female orgasm and your potential responses to your new lover. For Yourself by Lonnie Barbach is one of the earlier self-help books on women's sexuality. Another of my favorites is Sex for One by Betty Dodson, my mentor and a pioneer in women's sexuality and sexual empowerment. Both authors use their own experience as women's workshop leaders and their insights about the intricacies of female sexual pleasure (and orgasm in particular). In her book Women Who Love Sex, Gena Ogden discusses her research on the uniqueness of how women perceive and experience their sexuality. A book by Carol Ellison, Women's Sexualities, is the newest contribution to our understanding about women and sex. In it, she moves us away from the male-directed performance model to a view in which women find their self-esteem and worth from the journey of their own pleasure.
Perhaps with this man in your life now, the energy flows in different ways. You will never repeat the performance you had with your ex, as your two bodies connected in a unique way that is not based on just the mechanical act of sex. I suggest that you and your new beau experiment to find ways that work best for the two of you so that you can better enjoy what you now have together. By loosening your expectations of this relationship, relaxing into what gives you sexual happiness and expanding your sex play with this man, you may once again feel that whole body explosion.Answer:

Braskem raises offer for Indupa listed shares by 78%
8:00 AM MST | February 25, 2014 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Braskem has revised the price of its stock tender offer to minority shareholders of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) manufacturer Solvay Indupa (Buenos Aires) to 2.40 Argentinian pesos/share, an increase of about 78% from the previous peso1.35/share offer, Braskem has announced.

PhD student who is also a New Grad! So Confused!
- 1May 6, '13 by magnoliablossomsHello All,
I am recently finishing up a Entry Level Masters Program and graduating in a few weeks and will be taking the NCLEX really soon. I was very excited to get out there and work, however I received the opportunity to attend a PhD Nursing program, starting this summer, which I accepted because I really enjoy nursing research.
However, I still have a lot of loans from my ELM program plus I want to get my experience as a new nurse. The PhD program discourages anybody working because of the heavy workload so I wanted to work in a nursing specialty that wouldn't be so stressful and difficult to handle while I am in school for the next four years. I do love Psych and wanted to work in a Psych facility part time, but many people, including current nurses, have discouraged me from this field, saying I won't get my necessary acute care experience and it's a lot more stressful than what it looks. I have a current offer for a rehab position as an RN in a hospital, but I am hesitant because I will be stressed and I am unsure it is the best choice. I am also discouraged to get a job as a case manager because some nurses say I don't have enough experience.
I am confused at this point and spend several hours on this website, reading posts and debating what I should do. I am sorry for this long post but I would love to have any one's input on what I should do or if I should even attempt to work. Thank you for reading and hope to hear any advice soon.
Yay for research!!!
- 3May 7, '13 by UVA Grad NursingWhat sort of clinical question will you be researching in your PhD program? I would recommend getting clinical experience in that clinical area so that you can best know where the 'gaps' in knowledge are.
- 3May 7, '13 by marycarneyMy advice would be to delay entry into the PhD program. It will still be there after you've paid off you loans and had some real-world nursing experience. Your research topic will be much more refined and you will have the experience to back up its relevance to practice.
- 2May 7, '13 by pinkiepieRNWhat is your end-goal? What do you plan on research and what do you want to do with that research once obtained? Do you want to teach? I know this sounds like a million questions, but I want you to think about them for me.
I'd *love* to get into a nursing research/PhD program. I love qualitative research and both my psych minor and my nursing experience as a psych RN have fueled that fire.
That said, I wouldn't have had this kind of passion, interest or drive if I'd jumped right into graduate school after finishing my RN/BSN. I know you're in a bit of a different situation with receiving an entry level Master's degree and I think that makes it that much more important that you get the clinical experience before you get the higher degree.
With hopes of not getting flamed, please tell me that you are interested in the clinical hands-on aspects of nursing. I know that not everyone wants the blood and urine and other bodily fluids, but that *is* a big part of nursing, honestly. Sure one doesn't *have* to work at the bedside to be a nurse, or even a good nurse, but I think bedside nursing is the backbone of the field. I think it's where discovery and innovation, which can fuel change and research, starts.
- 3May 7, '13 by llg GuideI, too, would delay your entry to the PhD program. If you are such a good student, the opportunity will be there to attend school in the future when you are more ready for it.
In fact, that is what I did. While I was gettng my MSN in my mid-20's, some of the faculty members thought I should take advantage of the opportunity to enter the schools doctoral program prior to graduating with my MSN. I decided to wait and I am happy I did so. I was not ready to enter at doctoral program at 25 with only 2 years of staff nursing behind me. I practiced as a CNS and Staff Development Specialist for a few years and am glad I waited.
- 0May 7, '13 by magnoliablossomsThank you everyone for the replies. I am already accepted into the PhD program and have started some of the groundwork, basically I have already started my research proposal and will be looking at factors in longevity with older adults. The reason is that the nursing field wants to push to start accepting more students from when they are younger to get them into doing research, rather than waiting for years doing clinical practice and then going into the program. This is the emphasis of the program. Plus, the PhD program is tuition free for me, which is really great for me.
My end goal is to teach and also research. I know that I definitely want to do it, but I think I am leaning more to psych nursing because eventually I can teach in that field and my research interests has psychosocial factors embedded into it.
I am still interested in the clinical practice, but I can absolutely say I can love nursing research. It's so interesting and you help to contribute to nursing practice. My dilemma is that I still want to have clinical experience to be well-rounded.
- 2May 7, '13 by Tinker88Well you already made up your mind and it's your decision on what you do in your life. If you feel you can handle it and feel you have the experience then that's great. I personally plan to work at least 5 years as a RN...maybe even 10 (until I feel I have reached the max experience I want as a RN) before I apply for a masters or doctorate. I want a good solid foundation before I start building. But this is just how I would do it, and everyone is different!
- 6May 7, '13 by llg GuideI don't think people should teach nursing who have never practiced as a nurse. I feel the same about researchers. You don't have to get years of experience, but you do need some in order to know the reality of the profession you want to lead. It's that simple.
Find a way to work at least part time while you go to school ... or you risk never knowing what nursing is really like, what it FEELS like to actually be responsible for patients, etc. Without that "practice knowledge," your "theoretical knowledge" will lack grounding in reality. And when nurses find out that you have never practiced as a nurse, you will have little credibility with them.
llg, PhD, RN-BC
- 0May 7, '13 by mclennanThe point of research is to gather data to test theories. Research findings are disseminated into practice and policy. The best researchers are those who develop theories and data collection methods based on and informed by their knowledge of the practice their research will impact. Get some practice under your belt to create a credible foundation as a researcher.
Plus, most nurses are bitter, cynical and clever. We will detect your inexperienced, ivory tower dreck a mile away. When I read published research I can SMELL the academic hack who never wiped a butt or flushed a line like rotten fish. Trust me on this one. Go work.
- 0May 7, '13 by magnoliablossomsLol. I will try to work while I am in school, especially while I am in school. But I do feel like the nursing field and discipline is changing in regards to school. I do respect those who wait. But as other professors explained to us, other careers do not wait for you to have experience until you can go to the next step, and they want to change nursing so that others can apply to higher post-graduate programs with no experience. I have even seen DNP programs that are accepting new grads with no experience. Now that I find to be a little more difficult for those students, but the nursing discipline says they want to change this aspect.
Now if I didn't get this PhD opportunity, I definitely would have did acute care for a couple of years. But I do feel that I am competent in nursing research more than what it seems. I have presented a couple of conferences for nursing research and have done quite well. I feel that if you are passionate about a certain interest such as nurses building resilience in obese patients, then a person with no nursing experience can do it and produce great evidence because we are researching to find better way for nurses, and usually your previous nursing experience hardly influences your research career.

Google Maps Now Connects Directly to Uber
As if the temptation to give up on the subway and splurge on an Uber cab weren't great enough already, Google Maps is now connected to the on-demand rideshare app.
An update of Google Maps released yesterday includes the Uber integration, as well as a few more enhancements. Now, when you look up directions on your device and select the walking or public transportation options, a prompt reading "Get an Uber" is at the bottom of the list of possible routes. The app also highlights the Uber travel time in a bright color, just to reinforce how much time you'd save by taking a car. Read More

What is a Murder Mystery Party Game?
A murder mystery party game is a type of role playing themed party. The host assigns character roles to guests who interpret the characters based on printed instructions. One guest is the murderer and the other guests try to figure out who it is. Many different kinds of murder mystery party games are available at department stores as well as online. The guest who is playing the murderer tries to deflect any suspicions by other players. The host sends basic information in the invitations about the character and his or her main goals and motives. A brief background of the character and note about how he or she acts and dresses is also usually included in the invitations to a murder mystery party game. The guest then interprets the information and develops the character, much like an actor does, but the costume is also up to the guest to interpret, create and then wear to the party.

Normally I'm reluctant to discuss such personal matters, but I've been reading a new book that is proving so helpful to me that I decided to share portions of it with all of you in the hopes that it might help some of you.
Chick Healy is an ex drug addict and male prostitute who began turning his life around while in prison. The Stand Up and Win! system is the culmination of his life's study of the world's major religions as well as its best-selling self-help guides.
I'm including a small excerpt from the first chapter.
Stand Up And Win!
By Chick Healy
Your Eleven Step System For Personal Growth, Getting Rich, Finding (Heterosexual) Love, and Getting Into the Best Shape of Your Life While Eating Whatever You Want!
Step Number 1:
Transform IOU into "Y"OU!
These days it seems like we owe everybody something: our boss needs a few hours on the weekend, the tax man wants his pound of flesh, our spouses need our time. So do the kids. And so we rush through life handing out IOUs. I owe you my time, my money, my energy. It seems like we always owe somebody something. But what about you? What do you owe yourself? Answer: Plenty!
The Stand Up and Win system is all about transforming IOU to "Y"OU! I call it the "YOU Force." Because YOU are the most person in YOUR world. In fact, without YOU, none of those IOUs are ever going to get paid, because you won't be around to pay them. That's why rule number one of the "Stand Up and Win" system is:
Transform IOU into "Y"OU!
What does that mean? Simple. It means you've got to make YOU your number one priority.
Maybe it doesn't seem possible to put yourself first. Not with all those IOUs out there. But trust me, it is. When a baby is born, that baby is exactly how God made her. Perfect. She's not worried about anything other than getting what she needs when she needs it. And when she doesn't, boy does she let you know!!!
Do we go around saying, "What a selfish baby?" Of course not. Her cries are the "YOU Force" at work. When a person makes their needs known, and then goes out and fulfills them, that person is acting in concert with the YOU Force, the natural universal force of positive attraction. When you put your wishes and desires into the universe, that's exactly like the baby crying out to be fed! Only the difference between you and a baby, is that you have the ability to go out and get whatever you want.
Maybe you want a new job. Harness the YOU Force to go out and get it.
Maybe you want to find a wife or husband. Harness the YOU Force to go out and get it.
A flat-screen TV: The YOU Force can help you get that too.
The YOU Force is limitless. It doesn't judge you. It doesn't get mad at you. It doesn't call you names. Why? Because the YOU Force IS you! YOU are the one putting that energy into the universe. YOU are the one creating all the goodness in your life.
Some people might say, "No, that's God's work." And it is. Who created the YOU Force? God. When you use the YOU Force, you are working with God's blessing because God made you in His perfect image. And if you want a flat screen TV, that's exactly the same thing as saying that God wants you to have one, too.
I know what you're thinking: "Sounds great, Chick, but how do I harness the YOU Force?"
It's not enough to simply "want" something. I've got a little saying about "want." And it's this:
WANT stands for:
When we want something, that's only the first step towards achieving our goal. The desire is essential but it's not enough. The desire is The Receptive Posture at work.
What's the "Receptive Posture?" I'll get that into that in Step 2. All you need to know now is that the Receptive Posture is critical, but it's the Active Posture that gets things done. And that's what the Stand Up and Win! system is all about.
When we Stand Up and Win, we are using every fiber God put in our beings to bring about the positive change we desire into our lives. And when we do that, when we actually get what we want, when you take care of "Y"OU, that's when we can start paying off all those IOUs!
Do you see?
If you want the Lord to help you, who do you have to help? Exactly. Yourself.
Think of the YOU Force as a swiftly moving river. Your job is to let the river's current carry you wherever you want to go.
Most people never even get off the shore. They see the river and they think to themselves, "Boy, that's a pretty river." Or "Gee, I bet that river goes some exciting places." But when you suggest that they take a swim, they'll give you a whole bunch of excuses why they cannot:
"It's freezing in there."
"I didn't bring the right bathing suit."
Or my favorite:
"I can't swim."
Back in the old days, when a child couldn't swim, you know what they did? They threw that kid right in the river. That's where we get the expression "Sink of swim." Some kids drowned, sure, but some kids grew up to world champion swimmers. And that's what I want you to become – the Michael Phelps of what YOU do.

Police cruiser hit by driver
A woman is cited after she collided with a police cruiser Wednesday afternoon.
According to police, Officer James Stoke, a 21-year veteran with the force, was traveling westbound on L Street when a 1997 Toyota Corolla ran a red light northbound on 23rd Street and hit the driver's side of the cruiser.
Stokes was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Sandra Peralta, 62, was cited for no operator's license, no valid registration and wheel tax. She refused transport from the scene.
Police said speed and alcohol were not factors in the crash.

Acquisition Of Duff & Phelps Corporation By Private Investor Consortium May Not Be In Duff & Phelps Corporation Shareholders' Best Interests
SAN DIEGO and NEW YORK, Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Shareholder rights attorneys at Robbins Arroyo LLP are investigating the proposed acquisition of Duff & Phelps Corporation (NYSE: DUF) by affiliates of The Carlyle Group, Stone Point Capital LLC, Pictet & Cie, and Edmond de Rothschild Group (collectively, the "Consortium"). Duff & Phelps is a global financial advisory and investment banking firm.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130103/MM36754LOGO)
On December 30, 2012, Duff & Phelps announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which it will be acquired by the Consortium for $15.55 per share. The transaction has been approved by the board of directors of Duff & Phelps. Additionally, all members of the senior management team have agreed to remain employed by, and invest in the equity of, the company following the closing of the transaction.
The Board of Directors' Actions May Prevent Duff & Phelps Shareholders from Receiving the Maximum Value for Their StockRobbins Arroyo LLP's investigation focuses on whether the board of directors at Duff & Phelps is undertaking a fair process to obtain maximum value and adequately compensate its shareholders in light of the proposed acquisition. The $15.55 per share offer price is significantly below the $24 target price set by an analyst at Sidoti & Company LLC. Further, company's stock has traded above the offer price 201 of the 756 trading days during the three years prior to the merger agreement. Finally, on October 25, 2012, Duff & Phelps reported their third quarter 2012 earnings, in which quarterly revenue, including reimbursable expenses, saw an 18.3% increase over the corresponding prior year quarter. Given these facts, the firm is examining the board of directors' decision to sell Duff & Phelps now rather than allow shareholders to continue to participate in the company's continued success and future growth prospects. Duff & Phelps shareholders have the option to file a class action lawsuit against the company to secure the best possible price for shareholders and the disclosure of material information so shareholders can vote on the transaction in an informed manner. Duff & Phelps shareholders interested in information about their rights and potential remedies can contact Darnell R. Donahue at (800) 350-6003, firstname.lastname@example.com, or via the shareholder information form on the firm's website. Robbins Arroyo LLP is a nationally recognized leader in securities litigation and shareholder rights law. The firm represents individual and institutional investors in shareholder derivative and securities class action lawsuits, and has helped its clients realize more than $1 billion of value for themselves and the companies in which they have invested.

Home » Undergraduate College » Admission » Political Science & International Relations » Lee Family Foundation Intern Fellowship Program
Graduates from the Barbara Lee Fellowship Program have gone on to do a wide variety of things. A few examples include:
Barbara Lee, an alumna of Simmons College, heads the Barbara Lee Family Foundation, whose mission is to move women into the political sphere. The Foundation has provided money to Simmons for increasing awareness of politics as a vocation for women. The internship program, developed in the spring semester 2004, was based on the interest of three groups: a political science department that wanted to increase the scope and success of its already-established internship program, a donor whose philanthropic foundation commits itself to putting more women in positions of political power, and state legislators who wanted to mentor young women in the political process. The result of this intersection of demands has been the Lee Family Foundation Intern Fellowship Program. For the past six years, over 80 young women have benefited from this mentor-based internship program. The program seeks to give young women exposure to and education in the nuts and bolts of Massachusetts political leadership through practical experience, thereby increasing the number of young women who enter the pipeline of political leadership. The grant makes possible a number of paid internships, open to students across the college, from all majors. Selected students, who register for an eight credit internship through the Department of Political Science and International Relations, receive a stipend and a placement with a female state legislator. Kristina Pechulis is the coordinator of the program.
Please note: Students who are participating in the Fellows program should take POLS 212: Politics Unplugged: How Things Work in Massachusetts, offered in the fall semester. The goal of the course is to prepare students for direct involvement in the political process, whether it be with legislators (state representatives, federal representatives, governor's office) or non-government organizations involved in policy formation (non-profits, interest groups, lobbying groups). The course gives an overview of the Massachusetts political system and organizes speakers and site visits throughout the semester. Students are required to give mock oral presentations to legislators and heads of NGOs and to use the internet as a research tool for tracking bills and laws. The class will focus on developing writing skills, including memo writing, public policy briefing papers, grant writing, and one major policy analysis or advocacy paper, depending on the type of internship in which the student wishes to participate.
The call for applications occurs in October and students are notified of their placements by the first week of December.

KENEDY Jul-16-2004 (870 words) xxxn
Number of U.S. Catholics, deacons up; priests, religious down
By Jerry Filteau
Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- New figures show the U.S. Catholic population continues to grow. The number of deacons serving them is on the rise, but the numbers of priests and religious brothers and sisters are down. The long-term slide in church marriages continues.
The 2004 edition of the Official Catholic Directory showed some drop in the number of U.S. Catholic colleges, high schools and elementary schools and in the number of students attending them, but slight increases in the number of elementary and high school youths served by parish-based religious education programs.
Catholic News Service
analysis of diocesan clergy figures showed nearly three out of every 10 diocesan priests in the country are now classified as retired, sick or on leave.
Known in church circles as the Kenedy Directory for its publisher's imprint, the 2,300-page directory is an annual publication that provides detailed information about diocesan offices and Catholic parishes, schools, hospitals, religious houses and personnel in each U.S. diocese. It has statistical data on church life ranging from the number of baptisms and first Communions in the past year to the number of parishes, schools and hospitals and the number of patients treated in Catholic health facilities.
The directory is published from offices in New Providence, N.J.
The U.S. Catholic population at the start of 2004, according to the directory, was 67,259,768 -- an increase of some 850,000 over the 66,407,702 reported in 2003. Catholics continue to make up 23 percent of the total U.S. population.
The directory's national figures include data from Puerto Rico, a U.S. commonwealth, and U.S. territories overseas such as the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa and Guam.
The number of priests declined slightly from 44,487 last year to 44,212 this year. Of these, 14,729 were members of religious orders and 29,483 were diocesan.
The directory reported an increase in the number of permanent deacons, from 14,106 last year to 14,693 this year.
The number of religious brothers was 5,504, or 64 fewer than last year. Religious sisters numbered 71,468, a decline of 3,212 from last year.
The directory reported that there were 544 new ordinations to the priesthood in the past year -- up from 449 the previous year -- but the new figure was inflated by an erroneous recording of 61 ordinations in the Diocese of Lake Charles, La. That is the total number of diocesan priests there, and just this June Bishop Edward K. Braxton of Lake Charles wrote a pastoral letter on the impact of the vocations shortage, saying the diocese has not ordained a new priest in the past two years.
The directory listed 19,431 parishes, down 53 from last year, and 2,910 missions, down 78 from last year. Missions usually offer limited services and are typically served by a priest of a neighboring parish.
The nation's 583 Catholic hospitals served nearly 84 million patients last year and 376 other Catholic health care centers served nearly 4.3 million patients. Nearly 21.3 million people were served by the nation's 2,969 Catholic social service centers.
In Catholic education:
-- The 232 colleges and universities enrolled 747,060 students, down about 2,500 from the previous year.
-- The 787 diocesan and parish high schools and 560 private high schools had a total of 680,323 students, down about 6,300 from the year before. There were 37 fewer diocesan and parish high schools than the year before, but eight more private schools.
-- Enrollment declines were sharper in elementary schools. There were 6,488 diocesan and parish grade schools, down 285 from the previous year, and they served 1,796,275 students -- a drop of almost 77,000 from the year before. Private grade schools dropped from 369 to 365 and 95,742 students, about 2,800 fewer than the previous year.
The number of students in religious education rose. At the high school level there were 771,730, about 4,000 more than the previous year. At the elementary level there were 3,612,510, almost 30,000 more than the year before.
Despite the overall 3.2 percent enrollment decline in Catholic elementary and secondary schools, the number of Catholic school teachers rose 5.2 percent. The 2003 directory reported 171,814 teachers but the 2004 figure was 180,881, an increase of more than 9,000.
Lay teachers, who number nearly 170,000, or 91 percent of the teaching force, accounted for more than 8,000 of the additional teachers reported in the 2004 directory.
Surprisingly, however, the numbers of teaching priests, brothers, sisters and scholastics -- Jesuits in training -- all increased in the 2004 report. In all four of those categories the numbers have been generally in decline for at least three decades.
There were 196 more priests in teaching (from 1,596 to 1,792), 174 more brothers (from 1,021 to1,195), 482 more sisters (from 7,389 to 7,871) and 24 more scholastics (from 33 to 57).
During 1993 there were 985,141 infant baptisms, down about 20,000; 896,670 first Communions, down about 1,000; 645,426 confirmations, up about 8,000; and 232,060 marriages, down almost 10,000.

A great, quick appetizer-beer and maple syrup mustard made in seconds and great on everything.
This whole grain mustard uses 5 different spices as well as Guinness beer to create a flavorful and mildly spicy spread. Perfect for any mustard connoisseur!
This high alcohol Imperial IPA gives this mustard a pungent ale aftertaste. Hoppy and grainy this condiment would be great served atop a pretzel or bratwurst.
This homemade version of Guinness mustard has a nutty, vaguely sweet flavor and a nice mouth feel. It is surprisingly easy to make and it was fascinating to watch the seeds expand as they absorbed the liquid.
Good beer is the secret to much goodness, including making magnificent whole grain mustard at home.
Serve with corned beef and Irish soda bread for St. Patrick's Day!
A spicy homemade mustard made with Guinness stout! Yummy, spicy and very zippy!
I have a mustard-lover in my house. He eats mustard with everything. So I like to make my own, in volume, a quart at a time. It's so easy, not to mention inexpensive, that there's really no sense in buying it.
A hearty mustard for slathering on sandwiches, pretzel dipping and all around mustard-y pursuits.
This is a spicy whole grain mustard, made with brown mustard seeds and a nut brown or winter ale. It is spicy and full of flavor (and perfect for holiday gifts!)

Known as "the sport for a lifetime" playing tennis directly impacts a person's health and quality of life. Tennis is a family friendly sport which not only provides a great aerobic workout, but also teaches values such as teamwork, fair play, sportsmanship and discipline. The City of Concord Parks and Recreation Department has 14 tennis courts located within area parks (James L. Dorton Park, Marvin Caldwell Park, Beverly Hills Park and Les Myers Park).
Please contact Tennis Coordinator, Chad Oxendine, USTPA
at 704-806-0909, firstname.lastname@example.com
, or visit www.amptennis.com for your tennis needs.
Athletic Management Professionals, Inc. Our goal is to create an environment that will expose families to the game of TENNIS. From the young child who has given up on athletics, to the adult who tried tennis years ago, and can fall back in love with the game. We are in daily contact with people who have seen tennis in one form or fashion, but do not think they can ever play successfully. AMP was created to give all levels of players the opportunity to play tennis. It doesn't matter if you are a beginning player, a player who wants to give it one more shot, or a player who wants to stay plugged into the game. These opportunities come in the form of specialized programs for adults and juniors. Adults have the option to participate in beginning clinics in the spring and fall, weekly men and ladies workouts, or community singles and doubles leagues set up by AMP and USTA year round.
Juniors have the opportunity to be a part of the AMP Junior Star Tennis Academy. The Academy gives young people the opportunity to see tennis portrayed in a fun and exciting environment. With USPTA and USTA assistance, young people participate in a school year calendar-based schedule of events. Progression in the ACADEMY is based on individual goals and communication with parents on a quarterly basis. The number one goal of the Academy is to expose young people to the game of tennis in a friendly and supportive environment.

The ENfinity™ 12 is a revolutionary "long life", high-phosphorus electroless nickel technology. Maintaining internal compressive stress through 20 metal turnovers (MTO), the process provides consistent deposit properties over an extended operating life without the use of expensive electrodialysis equipment, costly steady state operation (bleed and feed) or expensive chemical alternatives (e.g. nickel hypophosphite). The process is said to yield the most constant plating speeds versus conventional EN processes. The process is designed to yield the lowest cost of ownership versus all other high phosphorus EN processes on the market today. This product offers great operating flexibility, providing superior stability and a consistent plating rate when used in either high- or low-workload situations. The end result is increased throughput, productivity and improved efficiency. Sulfate-free, the process is pH self-regulating and is available as a three-component process for either ammonia or ammonia-free operation.

The 14-story museum will be a cube structure set above a plinth, topped off at the roof and wrapped with an extensive green terrace hosting one acre of Texas' native drought-resistant flora and fauna. The ever evolving xeriscaped terrace will gently slope up to connect with the museum's iconic stone roof, and each exterior and interior will flow seamlessly into one another, further underscoring the inescapable connection between the natural and manmade. Built to sustainable standards, the museum will take advantage of the bright Texas sun through skylights which will flood the main atrium and other spaces with natural light, as well as numerous other green features including off-grid energy generation and specialized water conservation systems.
The new museum will open 80% of its space to the public (an unusually high percentage) and will include 10 galleries, a 300 seat cinema, flexible auditorium, cafe, retail store, offices and an area to host workshops. Mayne hopes that the new museum will not only be a public escape from the dense urban landscape, but be "a building that opens up, belongs to and activates the city" ultimately making the people as integral to the museum as the museum is to the city.

seasoned cnas with 20 years plus, advice from seasoned aides only
- 0First of all I want to say that January will make my 6 year mark as an aide, now my questions. I work 6 to 2 and I'm pretty fast and b give good care, but I needed advice on what I should do, we have until 7 30 to get our residents to the dining room, but I have showers to do and rooms need to be clean for dept heads to do rounds, I was wondering, from the experienced aides, how do yall work so quick and have residents looking great, my coworkers say I am good but I wanna be as great as an older aide. So how do I get things done in a timely manner and have my hall looking great? I wanna make my residents Hall look awesome and make them feel like they are getting great care. Also if you have to have people in the dining room by 7 30 would you do showers after breakfast or a few before? Given we have one shower room and have to have the rooms looking nice before 8? Help please ladies ThanksLast edit by Devin_Campos on Dec 30, '13
- 0Dec 30, '13 by pookypI was an aide for 10 years. If the residents could make decisions, I would ask them if they would like a shower before or after breakfast. Usually I know my residents, so I would do the showers first for ppl who wanted them in the am (mostly the patients who couldn't make decisions) then as they are In the dining room tidy up the room.
Does EVERYONE have to go in the dining hall at your facility? How many pt's do you normally have?
- 0I have about 3 people that are not all there and about 15 pts, or of those 3 the rest Are in their mind so I save them for after breakfast, but they are all men so that being said their room s are kind of cluttered so I have to Supreme time cleaning up, plus I have v always wanted my hall t to look nice, does getting things done quickly come with doing n or for so long? I started at this facility on the 20th so I'm still trying to find my Groove on the hall
- 0And majority of the people go to the dining room by the way ma'm
- 0No, as soon as 7 30 hits we have to serve trays, but what about this, I shower one to two guys before breakfast and get the other guys up, and clean as I go along. I mean when can I be as great as the other aides? Does it take time?
- 0Dec 31, '13 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior Moderatorthread moved for best response.
- 0Dec 31, '13 by JDZ344I would say shower a few before. Tidy as you get the residents up. Maybe shower until 6.50-7.00. Do the easier ones. Then spend 20 minutes or so tidying, assuming you can get your people to the dining room in 10 minutes. Do the breakfasts, and then finish your showers with the more difficult people to shower.
- 0Dec 31, '13 by Devin_CamposOk well how do you get faster at t
hat kind of work ? How is it the older aides are so quick

Stretch It: Seated Clasping Neck Stretch
If you're suffering from neck pain, shoulder tension, or a headache, stretching out the upper part of your spine might offer some relief. You can do this stretch in the car, at your desk, or anytime your neck needs a little love.
To learn how to make this stretch even more effective read more.
- Sit comfortably in a chair or on the floor.
- Clasp your hands and bring both palms to the back of your head. Sitting with a tall spine, ground your hips firmly into your seat.
- From here begin to gently press your hands down toward your thighs, tucking your chin into your chest. As you press down, use the heels of your palms to pull your head away from your shoulders. This will intensify the stretch even more.
- Hold here for at least 30 seconds, and then slowly lift your head up and release your hands.
- Do the Seated Heart Opener to stretch the front of your neck.

British subject
|British & Commonwealth
|Commonwealth nationality laws
|Classes of citizens and subjects
|Rights and visas
|This article possibly contains original research. (November 2008)
The term British subject currently refers, in British nationality law, to a limited class of people defined by Part IV of the British Nationality Act 1981. Under that Act, two groups of people became "British subjects"; the first were people from the Republic of Ireland born before 1949 who already claimed subject status, and the second covered a number of people who had previously been considered "British subjects without citizenship", and were not considered citizens of any other country. This second group were predominantly residents of colonies which had become independent, but who had not become citizens of the new country. The status cannot be inherited, and is lost on the acquisition of any other citizenship; it will therefore cease to exist on the death of the last remaining subjects.
The term has been used more widely in the past, and until 1949 was used to refer generally to any person born or naturalised in the United Kingdom or the British Empire, including the independent dominions (but not including protectorates). The term had a more complex interpretation between 1949 and 1983, with subject status existing alongside citizenship of an individual country or colony.
Prior to 1949[edit]
Before 1949, every person born within the dominions and allegiance of the English and later British Crown was, based on common law, an English or British subject. To be a subject required only that a person be born in any territory under the sovereignty of the Crown. The only exception in common law was that children of foreign ambassadors took the nationality of their fathers, who were immune from local jurisdiction and from duties of allegiance. From time to time, statutes were passed expanding the class of persons who held the status of subject, e.g. the statute 25 Edw. III st. 2 that naturalised the children of English parents born overseas.[1]
In Calvin's Case in 1608,[2] the Court of Exchequer Chamber ruled that a Scottish subject of King James VI of Scotland, who was also King of England, was by virtue of his allegiance to the King's person not an alien, but a natural-born subject under English law.
Entitlement to the status of British subject was first codified by the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act 1914, which came into effect on 1 January 1915.[3]
Within the British Empire, the main class of people who were not British subjects were the rulers of native states formally under the protection of the British Crown, and their peoples. Many such smaller states, especially in India, were for most practical purposes administered by the imperial government, but the sovereignty of all rested in their rulers and not in the British Crown, and all such persons are considered to have been born outside the sovereignty and allegiance of the Crown, so were (and, where these persons are still alive, still are) known as British Protected Persons.[4]
Between 1947 and 1951 each of the various existing members of the British Commonwealth of Nations created its own national citizenship (the Irish Free State had done so in 1935, but was excluded from the Commonwealth in 1949 because it declared itself a republic). In 1948, the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed the British Nationality Act 1948, which came into effect on 1 January 1949 and introduced the concept of Citizenship of the UK & Colonies.
1949 to 1982[edit]
From 1 January 1949, when the British Nationality Act 1948 came into force, every person who was a British subject by virtue of a connection with the United Kingdom or one of her Crown colonies (i.e. not the Dominions) became a Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (CUKC).
However, CUKCs, in common with citizens of other Commonwealth countries[citation needed], also retained the status of British subject. From 1949, the status of British subject was also known by the term Commonwealth citizen, and included any person who was one of the following:
- A citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies
- A citizen of any other Commonwealth country
- One of a limited number of British subjects without citizenship
In the third category were mainly people born before 1949 in the Republic of Ireland, India and Pakistan who did not acquire citizenship of their country or any other Dominion (in the case of those born in India and Pakistan), or who applied after 1949 for restoration of their British subject status (for those connected with Ireland).
Hence, from 1949 to 1982, a person born in England would have been a British subject and a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies, while someone born in Australia, would have been a British subject and a citizen of Australia.
British subjects in other parts of the Commonwealth[edit]
Between 1949 and 1982, the status of British subject was a common status held by citizens of countries throughout the Commonwealth, and many Commonwealth countries had statutes defining the term British subject in their laws, in much the same way as the status of Commonwealth citizen is now defined. In contrast, the British Nationality Act 1981 now provides that, as far as United Kingdom law is concerned, no person is a British subject except as provided by the Act.
In South Africa, South Africans ceased to be British subjects when the country became a republic outside the Commonwealth in 1961, and the Commonwealth Relations Act 1962 removed all reference to British nationality.
In Canada, Commonwealth citizen replaced the term British subject when the Citizenship Act 1977 replaced the Canadian Citizenship Act 1947.
New Zealand no longer defined the status of British subject when the Citizenship Act 1977 replaced the British Nationality and New Zealand Citizenship Act 1948 on 1 January 1978. However, s. 2 (Interpretation) of the Act still contains a reference in the definition of Alien to "...Commonwealth citizen (British subject)..."
In Southern Rhodesia, the unrecognised Parliament of Rhodesia purported to repeal the Citizenship of Southern Rhodesia and British Nationality Act 1963, under which Southern Rhodesian citizens were British subjects, and to enact the Citizenship of Rhodesia Act 1970, following the declaration of Rhodesia as a republic. However, pursuant to the 1963 Act and the Southern Rhodesia Act 1965 (UK), Southern Rhodesians continued to be British subjects under Southern Rhodesian law until Zimbabwe's recognised independence in 1980.
Australian law retained the status of British subject until the Australian Citizenship Amendment Act 1984 removed Part II of the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 on 1 May 1987. Hence between 1 January 1983 and 1 May 1987 a British citizen and an Australian citizen were both British subjects under Australian law, but not under United Kingdom law.[5] The term encompassed all citizens of countries included in the list contained in the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948. The list of countries was based on, but was not identical with, those countries (and their colonies) that were members of the Commonwealth from time to time. The list was amended from time to time as various former colonies became independent countries, but the list in the Act was not necessarily up-to-date as far as to constitute exactly a list of countries in the Commonwealth at any given time. This definition of British subject meant that, for the purposes of Australian nationality law, citizens of countries that had become republics, such as India, were grouped as British subjects.
Unusual arrangements were made in the cases of Singapore and the Federation of Malaya. When Singapore became self-governing in 1959 (whilst remaining a British colony), the status British subject: citizen of the State of Singapore was introduced, a status that existed until the (short-lived) incorporation of Singapore within Malaysia between 1963 and 1965.[6] Similar arrangements also existed for the other states and colonies that made make up the Federation of Malaya from 1948: they too introduced citizenship statuses (which eventually became Malayan and later Malaysian citizenship) before achieving independence in 1957.
In most other Commonwealth countries, the term Commonwealth citizen was used instead of British subject.
After 1983[edit]
On 1 January 1983, upon the coming into force of the British Nationality Act 1981, every citizen of the United Kingdom and colonies became either a British citizen, British Dependent Territories citizen or British Overseas citizen.
Use of the term British subject was discontinued for all persons who fell into these categories, or who had a national citizenship of any other Commonwealth country. The category of British subjects now includes only those people formerly known as British subjects without citizenship and people born in Ireland before 1949. In statutes passed before 1 January 1983, however, references to British subjects are interpreted as if they referred to Commonwealth citizens.
British citizens are not British subjects under the 1981 Act. The only circumstance where a person may be both a British subject and British citizen simultaneously is a case where a British subject connected with Ireland (s. 31 of the 1981 Act) acquires British citizenship by naturalisation or registration. In this case only, British subject status is not lost upon acquiring British citizenship. The status of British subject cannot now be transmitted by descent, and will become extinct with the passing of all existing British subjects.
British subjects, other than by those who obtained their status by virtue of a connection to Ireland prior to 1949, automatically lose their British subject status on acquiring any other nationality, including British citizenship, under section 35 of the British Nationality Act 1981.
In 2010, around 3,500 British Subject passports were issued each year, with the number steadily declining over time.[7]
Other terms[edit]
Though the term British subject now has a very restrictive statutory definition in the United Kingdom—and it would be incorrect to describe a British citizen as a British subject—the concept of a subject remains in the law, and the terms the Queen's subjects, Her Majesty's subjects, etc., remain in use in British legal discourse.[8]
The term United Kingdom national (sometimes referred to as British national), is used differently in various statutes, but most commonly means British Citizens, British Overseas Territories Citizens, British Overseas Citizens, British Nationals (Overseas), (and usually) British Subjects (as defined in the 1981 Act) and British Protected Persons. British Protected Persons are an especial grey area; they are neither Commonwealth citizens (i.e., British subjects in the old sense), nor aliens. Though they are not traditionally considered British nationals, since they are not considered stateless under international law, they must be nationals of the United Kingdom.
To cover the various classes of British nationals, new legislation currently uses the following wording:
- A person who is:
- (a) a British citizen, a British Overseas Territories citizen, a British National (Overseas) or a British Overseas citizen; or
- (b) a person who under the British Nationality Act 1981 is a British subject; or
- (c) a British protected person (within the meaning of that Act).[9]

Bryant scored 35 points and added 10 assists while team mates Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom had 20 points apiece in one of the most complete post-season outings for the Lakers, who triumphed 4-2 in the best-of-seven series.Los Angeles, who were beaten by the Boston Celtics in last year's title showdown, await the winner of the Eastern Conference finals series between the Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers.Unfinished business
"We had the effort and the execution to match (tonight)," Bryant said after clinching his sixth career NBA Finals appearance and second straight.
"It's been a physical march back to the finals.
"We're back to the place where we didn't finish our business last year.
"Hopefully we do it this year."
Denver's Carmelo Anthony had a team-high 25 points while shooting just 6-for-17 from the field and J.R. Smith chipped in 24 points for the Nuggets, who struggled out of the gate and never recovered.
Los Angeles had difficulty closing out the Houston Rockets in the semi-finals but showed clear focus from the outset against Denver, while shooting 57 percent from the field and a perfect 24-for-24 from the free throw line en route to the blowout.
Bryant scored 11 points in the final 3:09 of the first half as Los Angeles took a 53-40 halftime lead and quickly pushed the advantage to 20 during the third quarter.
"We saved our best game for last," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "We had the momentum almost from the beginning of the game.
"We played well - shooting the ball well from all spots on the floor, and I thought our energy was good."
Good performance
The Nuggets can look back at a strong season despite the defeat, the team bolstered by an early-season trade for point guard Chauncey Billups, who helped them tie an NBA franchise-best 54 regular season wins.
Denver's trip to the conference finals also broke a string of five straight first-round playoff defeats.
"Today is a tough day but its been absolutely the best year I've been a part of," Billups said.
"Being able to help this team turn the corner has been awesome. I never would've imagined it."
The Lakers will be appearing in their 30th NBA Finals as a franchise and will try to make amends for last season's failure, when they were outgunned 4-2 by a dominant Celtics.
