American Nurse Seeking to Work in Australia - page 5
Hey there! Sorry if this a repeat of several other topics..I've been reading through many threads, and there is so much information, I'm getting overloaded. I'm an RN currently working as a traveler in the US. I have almost 2... Read More
- 1Sep 20, '12 by esperanzaRN14hello all,
Im interested in coming to Australia next year to to work as an RN. I currently work in southern california in a surgical intensive care unit as a floor nurse and relief charge nurse. Really looking forward to making the big change and all the experience that comes with it. i have found all your posts very helpful. I only have an associates degree though, but I do have 4 years experience as a nurse now. i have asked others about the qualifications with AHPRA in regards to education and many seem to think that i should be qualified enough. did any of you apply with just an associates degree and get approved with AHPRA? any feedback would be greatly appreciated. As for Yee213, congrats!! super excited for you, hang in there. im sure it will get better for you. would love to hear how your experience is going so far, im considering working in sydney as well. i hope i can find that same support when i get there, so im here for you if you need to vent!!
- 1Hi guys! This is so exciting to hear from everyone. My application is slowly...(but surely? hopefully?) progressing. Hoping to have my registration from AHPRA within a month, then will go thru the Visa process. Plan is to head to Sydney. And yes, too bad about being so overwhelmed =( There are just SO many new variables, I can't imagine it is an easy transition.
The idea of going there without a guaranteed job is also pretty scary. There are just so many things to take into consideration!
- 2Esperanza, I'm also in southern California! I'm working as a travel nurse in the San Diego area, and have been down here since January! Loooove it.
I do have my Bachelor's, so I didn't have the hurdle you may face, but I can post what AHPRA e-mailed me when my documentation from my college wasn't sufficient for them haha. Maybe it will shine some light:
Please note the minimum education requirement of a registered nurse in Australia is a Bachelor degree. A transcript of the theory subject hours and clinical subject hours as well as a record of clinical experience areas from [your college] is required. In order for an applicant to register as a Registered Nurse (Division 1) in Australia they must demonstrate both theory and clinical hours in the following streams: Medical/Surgical, Adult Nursing, Community Nursing and Mental Health Nursing.
- 0Hey Esperanza!
Hopefully one day we can all meet up in Sydney...haha
As far as qualifications for the AHPRA, I have a BSN, so I don't know about an associates degree. However, in all my research and reading, I don't recall seeing anything that specified the requirements in the paperwork. But I suggest going to the AHPRA website and submitting a web inquiry. They have been very quick in their email responses usually 48 hours.
Good luck!
- 2Etoile,
OMG...it took me forever! Partially because I received my BSN in an accelerated program, which I don't think they are familiar with, so I had several requests for additional information. After I mailed them the documents (and apparently I couldn't even send it fedex because it's a global post office box) it took about 10 days...snail mail status. I would typically get a response 1 week -2 weeks after via email. Sometimes it wasn't clear what they needed and what I interepreted wasn't always what they wanted, so that was a bit frustrating. In total it took me 5 months after several correspondences...(I did have some delays waiting for documents from my school so that cost me a good month +...so all in all, I would say it took me 3-4 months.)
Hopefully, yours will be much faster
- 0Blahhh. yeah, I'm getting nervous because it's been at least 10 business days and they say they don't have the documents.. and it was reallyyyy annoying to get some of that paperwork, argh. So they emailed you once they received addit'l documents?
I feel like I'm slowly selling my soul haha. Oh, and it is SO confusing as to what they want! I've made many phone calls because they're vague on the requirements. I just fear that the date I have to have everything in by is going to come and I won't have it all, and they'll close my application I'm two months in, not counting how many months it took me before that to just gather what I thought they wanted. Wheeeeee! Hahha
- 1They didn't email me that they received my paperwork aside from my initial application. They usually just responded with another request for more documents and finally my eligibility letter. My deadline was close to approaching as well and I was traveling to the east coast for a week and between work, there was no way I could get the info to them in time including mail time and getting the docs from my school. So I sent a web inquirty to request for an extension to my deadline. I was extremely frustrated at that point, and let them know that too...haha. But they extended it.
By the last piece of paperwork they needed, I was soooo over it. I was almost about to give up but knew that I couldn't have spent all that time and $$ for nothing. And that hopefully they were making jump thru hoops so that they could approve my application.
As far as your documents, did you certify them or send they with a notifcation that were delievered? I would recommend doing that in the future. You don't need the super expensive option, but just a tracking number or something is helpful.
But, believe me...I feel your pain...hang in there!
- 0Sep 20, '12 by esperanzaRN14thank you ladies for all the information. Etoile88 im in the los angeles area! i love the san diego area too! its so nice there! i did read the miniumum requirement was a bachelor degree, but it also mentioned a 6 semester program in there as well. i have all the requirements as far as theory and clinical hours for the division 1 nurse too. i did email them an inquiry asking them about my associates degree and all the emailed me back was the form to apply and the amount it would cost to apply. thats why im a bit confused with how they go about picking candidates. i dont know if im just better off calling there and speaking to someone. i would hate to pay the registration fee and get declined as well. i had asked other people on this website about it and i keep getting mixed answers, some say i should be fine. it seems like just gathering all the paperwork is a tedious process and that they require more information in the end. I know in my college transcripts they dont specify the clinical hours that we completed so how were you able to obtain that information from your school etoile88? Also is it any bachelors degree or specifically just a BSN? cause all there website says is bachelor degree and not a bachelor in science of nursing. i also rather travel now as a nurse instead of going back to school! lol! i hope it works out and we are all able to meet up in Australia one day!!

The other descriptions above seem to be slightly incorrect.
The mob you must kill is not the one in the center, but instead it's one called "Republic Rifleman" and is part of two small groups to the side that you can easily solo. The groups consist of the Strong Republic Rifleman as well as a Strong droid and an Elite "Prison Gunman." One kill was all it took, then you can do step number 2 as described.
Rewards for BH were a choice of 3x Belsavis Commendations, a Blue ilvl 42 Class 5 Lockbox, or:
Ultrachrome War Helmet
Ultrachrome Onslaught Helmet
Ultrachrome Barrage Headgear
Belsavis Commendation x 3
Ultrachrome Battle Headgear
Jeweled Prototype Storage Box
Solo'd this as a lvl 41 Assassin. Sneak around the perimeter of the compound, and in each group, Mind Trap the elite, kill the silver-elites, and then Force Cloak if you can't take on the elite. Once you have the key, sneak into the small hut, trap the elite, kill the silver, Force Cloak, re-trap. Now that you're out of combat, you can simply loot the mission objective.
Rewards were:
3x Belsavis Commendation
1x Reinforced Vine-silk Headgear
1x Veiled Vine-silk Headgear
1x Jeweled Prototype Storage Box
Gilded Ultrachrome Headgear
Resilient Durachrome Headgear
Quite easy to solo as an operative, probably most classes could solo it.
There is a strong mob with two small droids with 1.5k each and the strong drops an item which is part of the mission.
The next item is guarded by a strong and an elite, I am unsure whether this item is clickable in combat.
The strong mob for the second objective spawns in the center of the compound, and seemingly must be killed there to drop the quest item. Three times I pulled them to the side and killed him, with no drop. Final time, in the center, and it dropped.
The final objective is a table in one of the huts guarded by a strong and elite. Both must be killed, since you cannot use the table while in combat.

Experts Commenting on This Company
Allied Nevada Gold Corp.
Allied Nevada is advancing gold exploration and development projects in Nevada. Its 100%-owned flagship, Hycroft Mine, is currently producing at an annual rate of ~100 Koz. gold and 300 Koz. silver. ANV has begun an oxide-expansion project to increase production to >300 Koz. gold and 1 Moz. silver. The low-risk, high-reward project aims to more than triple production by 2013 and maximize extraction of the current reserve estimate of 2.4 Moz. gold.
The information provided below is from analysts, newsletters and other contributors. Please contact the company and visit its website before making an investment decision.
Expert Comments:
Ben Kramer-Miller, Seeking Alpha (11/5/14) "There is an opportunity in Allied Nevada Gold Corp. shares. . .the risk/reward favors the bulls at this point. . .there is simply too much upside potential for investors to ignore, now that the shares trade at just over $1. . .everybody, management included, knows that a big move is coming, and we've seen how such a move can generate enormous value for those who have the courage to step in and buy the shares now."
Resource Investing News (11/2/14) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp. has plans currently in place to expand the Hycroft project. . .a recently updated feasibility study projects that the mine will produce an annual average of 22.9 Moz silver for the first five years following the expansion. . .the expansion plan involves creating a milling and oxidation plant to process sulfide reserves, along with the oxide reserves that the company currently mines at the site."
Trevor Turnbull, Scotia Capital (7/14/14) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp. reported Q2/14 gold and silver production of 56,864 oz and 481,151 oz, respectively (sales were in line with production). The company appears well positioned to meet its annual guidance of 230�250 Koz, especially with the crusher now able to deliver a significant portion of material to the leach pad."
Michael Gray, Macquarie Capital Markets (5/6/14) "Upcoming catalysts for Allied Nevada Gold Corp. include filing a prefeasibility study in May 2014, Q2/14 results in August 2014 and feasibility study results in Q3/14."
Morning Coffee (1/10/14) "Shares of Allied Nevada Gold Corp. jumped after the company announced Q4/13 and FY/13 gold and silver production. For the quarter the company produced 61,419 oz gold and 377,314 oz silver. That is an increase of 35% and 61% respectively over the same period last year."
Jeff Killeen, CIBC World Markets (1/2/14) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp. has announced that it has amended its revolving credit facility with the Bank of Nova Scotia, which reduces the size of the facility from $120M to $40M and eliminates both the leverage and interest coverage ratios. . .the amended agreement should allow the company to draw against its credit facility and provide sufficient liquidity in the near term."
Bob Moriarty, 321 Gold (11/30/13) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp. has put in a number of cost cutting measures at its Hycroft mine and is still making a profit. I like the management, I like the project and if you believe gold will go up, this company is going to lead the pack higher."
The Gold Report Interview with Jay Taylor (11/25/13) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp. will be able to make money with the sulfide portion of its deposit, which is gigantic. It's low grade, but I remain confident. It's been making money with its oxides. . .Allied Nevada is developing its project. The company is fairly well cashed up and continues to improve its oxide production. It scaled back a bit from earlier targets, but it's still on track to move forward on its sulfides. The major driver would be an increase in the gold price, but at less than $4/share, this is a good speculation. . .when the real price of gold rises, you get a huge rise in the profitability of gold mining projects. The opportunity for a $4 stock like Allied Nevada to give you a big percentage gain is better than a $30 stock like Agnico-Eagle." More >
Jay Taylor, Gold, Energy & Tech Stocks (11/22/13) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp. reported earnings of $5M for the quarter ending September 30. From an operations point of view, the company's performance improved during the quarter. . .Allied Nevada expects that the heap leach expansion project will be considered largely complete by the end of 2013, which should result in increased production in 2014."
Henry Lazenby, Mining Weekly (11/6/13) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp. reported adjusted earnings per share for Q3/13 that beat analyst expectations. Revenue increased by 18% year-over-year to $76.74M, up from $64.82M. The company increased its gold sales by 51% to 52,713 oz compared with 34,851 oz sold in the same period of 2012. Q3/13 total sales were an all-time quarterly record for Allied Nevada and represented an improvement of 27%, or 11,201 oz, up from Q2/13."
Morning Coffee (8/7/13) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp. produced 39,195 oz gold and 132,841 oz silver in Q2/13. Production is expected to ramp up through the second half of 2013, benefiting from additional tons under leach and the increasing capacity of the Merrill-Crowe plant."
Henry Lazenby, Mining Weekly (5/17/13) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp. closed a bought deal equity financing with a syndicate of underwriters for $150.5M. . .the company issued 14M shares at a price of $10.75 apiece. . .it plans to use the proceeds to fund capital expenditures at its Hycroft mine, near Winnemucca in north-west Nevada, and for general corporate purposes. . .Allied Nevada said it might now rather construct a 75 Ktpd plant in 2015. The benefit would be to have more time to optimize the engineering, which could result in reduced capital expenditure when the time was right to construct the second phase."
Morning Coffee (4/10/13) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp. is on the right track. . .the company reiterated its six-month production guidance, highlighting that it was on track to produce 90�100 Koz gold. . .Allied Nevada said it had sold 27,256 oz gold and 174,766 oz silver in the first quarter, and plans to sell about 7,200 oz gold and 43,200 oz silver in the second quarter. Management added that ANV would be able to complete the expansion of its Hycroft mine on schedule, and without exceeding the total budget of $1.2B it had originally set for the project."
Henry Lazenby, Mining Weekly (4/10/13) "The Toronto-listed stock of Allied Nevada Gold Corp., which operates the Hycroft silver/gold mine near Winnemucca in north-west Nevada, on Tuesday spiked by more than 30%, after it released preliminary operational results for the first quarter ended March 31. . .gold sales totaled 27,256 oz. . .the company expected to sell about 7,200 oz gold and 43,200 oz silver in the second quarter, which remained in precipitate at the end of the first quarter owing to retort capacity limitations. With the successful commissioning of a second retort during the first quarter, Allied Nevada expected to be able to process all of the precipitate generated from its Merrill-Crowe plant."
Jay Taylor, Hotline (4/5/13) "I continue to find Allied Nevada Gold Corp. stock to be very attractive, especially since it has been taken down to the current levels. In fact, I believe it may be one of the most promising producers out there at this point in time, at least if the company can do what it says it will do over the longer term, which is nothing short of phenomenal."
Morning Coffee (4/1/13) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp. announced that effective immediately, Scott Caldwell has been replaced as president and CEO; Bob Buchan, the company's current executive chairman, will assume the additional duties of president and CEO. Citing the underperformance of the Hycroft mine, in Nevada, Allied Nevada's board of directors replaced Caldwell and believes Buchan's experience and leadership at this critical juncture are necessary to facilitate the timely and efficient expansion of Hycroft."
Chen Lin, What Is Chen Buying? What Is Chen Selling? (3/18/13) "I think Allied Nevada Corp. is a good pick. I am very familiar with the company and have owned shares since its spin-off from Vista Gold Corp. It is trying to build one of the greatest gold/silver mines in Nevada. . .it looks way oversold to me."
Jay Taylor, Hotline (3/15/13) "With gold production scheduled to range between 225�250 Koz this year, plus 1.5�1.8 Moz silver, Allied Nevada Gold Corp. should reach tier-two status this year before it accelerates onward and upward into 'the big leagues' starting in 2015 and continuing in 2016 when it brings its second mine, Hasbrouck, into production. . .as I look around at major mining companies and their growth prospects, at its current price, Allied Nevada looks as promising as anything I can see."
Trevor Turnbull, Scotia Capital (3/8/13) "We met with Allied Nevada Gold Corp.'s CEO, Scott Caldwell, to discuss the new mine plan and latest developments: Our impression was positive that Q1/13 guidance and particularly FY/13 guidance are achievable. . .of greater consequence, in our opinion, the company hopes to have some offtake agreements in place later this year that should demonstrate favorable terms for its concentrates."
Mike Parkin, Merrill Lynch (3/1/13) "We believe Allied Nevada Gold Corp. will reverse its trend of missing sales guidance this year, and if we are correct we expect the stock to rerate to a premium to the peer group, which we feel is warranted given the Hycroft project offers more than a 200% increase in Au eq production by 2016 in a low political risk region at/or below industry average total cash costs. . .we are maintaining our Buy rating."
Trevor Turnbull, Scotia Capital (2/26/13) "We expect Allied Nevada Gold Corp. to reach its target range of 45�50 Koz Au in Q1/13. . .we do not see any need for financing this year given the company's $347M cash balance at year-end. . .2013 capex guidance is $399M, $130M of which is to be financed through capital leases. . .the company also has a $120M undrawn line of credit. . .we are maintaining our Sector Perform rating."
Mike Kozak, Cormark Securities (2/26/13) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp.'s expanded Hycroft operation still boasts very attractive economics at very conservative metal prices. . .Hycroft's life-of-mine production profile of +550 Koz/year Au and +25 Moz/year Ag should be achievable without any additional share dilution. . .over the longer term, the company offers the most attractive growth profile among midtiers and projected bottom quartile cash costs. . .we continue to rate the stock Top Pick."
Andrew Mikitchook, GMP Securities (2/25/13) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp.'s financial results released this morning are broadly in line with expectations. . .updated mine plan economics look positive. . .we continue to believe that the Hycroft mill expansion project is fully funded at current metal prices. . .we remain positive on the long-term outlook for the company. . .we continue to view Allied Nevada as a discounted intermediate producer with good long-term rerating potential as it continues to expand its current operations and build a new milling operation, expected to boost production from 150 Koz in 2012 up through 500 Koz in 2015."
Trevor Turnbull, Scotia Capital (2/22/13) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp. summarized its new mine plan. . .the company raised its cutoff grade slightly, resulting in a lower strip ratio. This offset a portion of the higher mining costs the company is now assuming."
Mike Parkin, Merrill Lynch (2/22/13) "This morning, Allied Nevada Gold Corp. released a new life-of-mine (LOM) plan (19 years) for the Hycroft mine, which calls for a lower LOM strip ratio (from 1.26:1 to 1.15:1), which helps to reduce the LOM total cash cost estimate from US$166/oz (net of silver by-products) to US$146/oz. . .through the completion of the expansion of the Hycroft mine, we estimate Hycroft will achieve midtier producer status (500+ Koz annual gold production) by year-end 2014."
Craig West, GMP Securities (1/18/13) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp.'s Q4/12 production of 46.9 Koz is a record quarter for the company. . .we continue to view Allied Nevada as a discounted intermediate producer, with good long-term rerating potential as it continues to expand its current operations and build a new milling operation, expected to boost production from 150 Koz in 2012 up through 500 Koz in 2015."
Brian Quast, BMO Capital Markets (1/16/13) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp. provided an update on the results of ongoing metallurgical test work for the Hycroft mill expansion. Results indicate overall recoveries at the mill of 79.7% for gold and 85.5% for silver, which is an improvement of 1.7% for gold and 0.6% for silver compared to the April 2012 technical report."
Mike Parkin, Bank of America Merrill Lynch (1/16/13) "Allied Nevada Gold Corp. reported the results from a recently completed metallurgical test program, which in our opinion shows to be mildly positive for the mill project at Hycroft (97.3% of our NAV). Overall, the results show that the mill recovery rates for gold and silver could be 1.7% and 0.6% higher than what was originally estimated in the April 2012 feasibility study."

One area that I am just not sure what to do with is the Matrix section on the mtx 1-6 layer.
1. How do you use them? How do you route signal to it and then where does it go? On my old analog mixer the matrix section had its own output ports...so I am not really sure where they fit in the mix signal flow and this leads me to question 2...
2. Why would I use them over a mixbus? What is their purpose?
My setup is a typical band set (drums, acoustic guitar, electrica guitar, bass, keys, 1-2 vocalists). My current setup for the outputs:
Mixbus 1-4 = floor wedges
Mixbus 5-6 = unused (future plans to feed another room or add more wedges)
Mixbus 7 = all drum inputs - this feeds P16 system
Mixbus 8 = all FX returns - this feeds P16 system
Mixbus 9-10 = feeds USB recorder and assisted listening devices
Mixbus 11-12 = all my aux sources (cd, ipod, etc) - feeds P16 system
Mixbus 13-16 = FX sends
Where and why would a matrix fit into this? Am I doing this wrong?

When Barack Obama nominated Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, he made her appointment contingent on her husband revealing the contributors to his foundation in order to avoid any questions about potential conflicts of interest. The foundation subsequently disclosed its donors– after refusing to list them for a decade– and it turned out they included many "governments, corporations and billionaires with their own interests in U.S. foreign policy".
Yet try getting an answer now from the foundation about its donors. I've been trying all week to see if Gulnara Karimova (daughter of the dictator of Uzbekistan) or any companies she owns have given money to the foundation, and I can't get a reply. I have heard from a source that Gulnara is a donor, directly or indirectly, but I don't have any solid evidence of that. Either way, the foundation appears to be quite unwilling to honor its pledge of "openness." It's all in the tradition of the foundation's titular head.
Note: Thanks to all the readers who wrote about the story. Many pointed me to sections of Gulnara's website, like this one on propaganda. A number also noted that the picture on the site showing Gulnara with Bill Clinton mistakenly refers to the former president as "Senator Bill Clinton." As one reader wrote to the magazine, "It would have been well for Mr. Silverstein to highlight this error, as it displays Karimova's obvious unconcern to relay factual information."

Could there ever be a rivalry between the angels Gabriel and Michael?
No, there could never be a rivalry between the Angels Gabriel and Michael. Gabriel is known as the messenger Angel and Michael the warrior Angel. Both of them carry out the will of God Almighty. It is not possible for either one of them to rebel against God, nor is it possible for them to war against each other. They are in the service of the Almighty. They are two of the elect angels.
"I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen (elect) angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality." (1 Tim. 5:21).

We are so proud of the fact that Creative Capital is one of the only national nonprofit organizations that awards grants to individual artists through an open application process. This means that anyone can apply, as long as you meet our basic eligibility criteria. In February, Creative Capital received more than 3,700 Letters of Inquiry for grants in Visual Arts & Moving Image—our biggest applicant pool to date! The applicants hailed from 49 U.S. states and Puerto Rico (Mississippi artists, we want you!), along with U.S. citizens living in 26 other countries. In January 2015, we'll announce the 46 funded projects in our next class of awardees. Yes, it really does take almost a year to select the next class of Creative Capital Artists!
Applicants, funders and others in our network often ask us how we go about winnowing thousands of applications down to only 46 funded projects. The short answer: very thoughtfully, and with a lot of help.
Creative Capital actively solicits new applicants through an open call for Letters of Inquiry, using web-based outreach, in-person and online info sessions, and partner organizations to help us spread the word. This year we worked with seven Program Consultants who advised us in our grantmaking process, in addition to 22 colleagues in different parts of the country who suggested artists and artist organizations in their geographic region to notify about the award deadline.

|Large Pure Internet Firms and Theories of International Business: Australia as a Foreign Internet Market
|Nairn, Hamish
Discipline of International Business
|Issue Date:
|ABSTRACT: Large pure internet firms challenge key assumptions in international business theories. This paper considers the relevance of the eclectic paradigm and 'born global' theories to large purely internet based multinationals. By researching four case studies of firms operating in the Australian market, evidence is found for a need to update the theory. Specifically, there is a need to consider the elevated importance of the consumer as a critical resource. Secondly, these firms operate in a market that is borderless and where market entry is a spectrum. Third, complex networking relationships break down boundaries between internal and external. Theory must be developed to analyse the post-born global firm.

Bandwidth managment for the internet connection

Bandwidth managment for the internet connection
Hello to everybody.
Do you have any suggestion how to realize a Bandwidth managment on a debian system?
I'll create a GUI where somebody can decide who will have priority for the internet connection, based on the field 'user' on a mysql database.
So I need a program (not GUI) that will allow me to fetch some data from a database and will split the bandwidth with different priorities...
Let's say for example:
User1 will use the 50% of the bandwidth (upload and download)
User2 will use the 30% of the bandwidth (upload and download)
User3 will use the 20% of the bandwidth (upload and download)
Any idea how to realize it?

A.D.A.M., Emmis: Volume Movers
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- A.D.A.M. (ADAM) was one of several stocks trading below $5 and moving on above-average volume Monday following an acquisition bid for the health information and benefits technology solutions company.
A.D.A.M. shares spiked after E-commerce services provider Ebix said it will acquire A.D.A.M. on a debt-free basis for $66 million. A.D.A.M. shareholders will receive 0.3122 of Ebix common stock for each share of A.D.A.M. common stock, based on a $19.06 agreed value of Ebix common stock. That values each A.D.A.M. share at roughly $5.95, a 87.7% premium to Friday's closing price.
Shares of A.D.A.M. rallied by $2.43, or 76.7%, to $5.60. Volume topped 881,000 shares, compared to the average daily share volume of 23,000.
Also on the upside, China Advanced Construction Materials Group (CADC) jumped by 20 cents, or 5.9%, to $3.60 after the company issued preliminary fourth-quarter guidance for earnings of 28 cents to 30 cents a share and revenue of $30 million to $31 million. That compares to the Thomson Reuters estimate for earnings of 28 cents a share on revenue of $27.1 million. Volume topped 35,000 shares, compared to the average daily share volume of 29,000.On the downside, Skilled Healthcare Group (SKH) share dropped by 33 cents, or 11.9%, to $2.44, bringing its two-day decline to 23.5%. On Friday, the company said the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Humboldt, denied the company's motion for mistrial or a new trial on grounds of juror misconduct. In addition, the Court also granted an order for permanent injunction requiring Skilled Healthcare's California skilled nursing facilities to provide specified nurse staffing levels, comply with specified state and federal laws governing staffing levels and posting requirements, and provide reports and information to a monitor. Volume topped 449,000 shares, compared to the average daily share volume of 578,000. Elsewhere, Emmis Communications (EMMS) fell by 28 cents, or 13.9%, to $1.74 as the deadline for a tender offer to take the company private stalled once again. Jeff Smulyan, the CEO of Emmis, has been working to buy all shares of Emmis through his company JS Acquisition and private asset company Alden Global Capital at $2.40 per share. The new deadline for the tender offer is 5 p.m. ET on Sept. 2. Volume topped 113,000 shares, compared to the average daily share volume of 185,000. -- Written by Robert Holmes in Boston.

As many of you know, one of the biggest reasons that SparkPeople is free is because our members do such an amazing job of Spreading the Spark! This allows us to keep our costs low and keep resources focused on making the site better for you and your friends. That's why we encourage you to tell others about SparkPeople. Show Your Spark Weekend is an easy way to get the word out and find even more SparkFriends to share your journey.
So, why is this one of the most important Show You Spark Weekends � because we are trying to get on the New York Times Bestsellers List and you can help! We are holding a Show Your Spark Book Club Weekend as well as a contest to have Chris "SparkGuy" Downie call into your local book club!
We are currently developing a bonus book site that will hold all the details needed to host your very own book club that weekend, but we wanted to provide a "Save the Date" post so people can begin to plan ahead! More details will be posted soon, but below are details on the contest.
Good morning SparkPeople!
Today we launched a new feature: SparkTrophies. Previously, members could earn trophies by accumulating SparkPoints. Beginning today, members can earn a variety of trophies for reaching new milestones such as SparkVersaries (your anniversary of joining the site), being a Trivia leader, and losing weight! Here's a list of the new motivational trophies you can earn on the site:
Thanksgiving is almost here, and the winter holidays follow closely behind. While most people write off the holidays as a time when healthy living is impossible, that's not the case!
Before you panic, remember that SparkPeople is here for you! We know that holidays are challenging times for our members.
With all the parties, food, shopping, decorating, and volunteering associated with them, it becomes even harder to exercise, eat right (without going overboard), and stay healthy. So we've created a special newsletter that will help you stay on track, make good choices, slim down your holiday recipes, and squeeze in fitness during the holiday season. Beginning Saturday, subscribers to the "Best of SparkPeople" daily newsletter will receive a supplemental "Healthy Holidays" newsletter. Starting Nov. 21, and running for seven weeks, each newsletter will be full of healthy recipes, holiday-specific strategies and more!
Click here to change your email settings so you can get this great newsletter.
(Note: You must subscribe to "Best of SparkPeople" in order to receive these holiday issues. When making subscription changes, be sure to click the "Save & Submit" button at the bottom of the page.)
In addition, we wanted to let you know that SparkPeople's "12 Days of Holiday Cookies" recipes are coming soon! (We've got NEW recipes this year!) Subscribers to SparkPeople's "Recipe of the Day" email newsletter will receive one new cookie or dessert recipe each day, beginning Tuesday, Dec. 1.

Hi everyone!
We know that many members enjoy exercising and getting active by using the Nintendo Wii and Wii Fit. We have received many inquiries about how to track these exercises on the site, but until now, we didn't have any data available about the calories burned for these activities.
The American Council on Exercise (ACE) has published two research studies about the fitness benefits of various Wii activities, and these studies also included the average calories burned based on study participants. Now that this information is available, we have added several Wii and Wii Fit activities to our cardio tracker so that members can estimate how many calories they burn. You'll now be able to track and estimate your calorie burn more accurately for 11 Wii (baseball, bowling, boxing, golf and tennis) and Wii Fit (advanced step, free run, free step, island run, rhythm boxing and super hula hoop) exercises, thanks to this recent research.
To estimate your calorie burn and/or add these activities to your Fitness Tracker, simply click the "Add Cardio" button and perform a search for "Wii" or "Wii Fit." Enter the number of minutes you performed the exercise and then "Show Calories Burned" or "Add Exercise." It's that simple!
If you'd like to review the studies conducted by ACE, you can download the PDFs from ACE by clicking the links below. Please note that you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open these documents. We recommend reading these links for more information about using a Wii for fitness.

We hope you enjoy this update to the SparkPeople Fitness Tracker!
"My Tech Guy" Doug Delony of My Fox Houston recently did a great news segment featuring SparkPeople.com! You can view the video below or click here to view it on the Fox Houston website.
If you'd like to help us Spread the Spark, this is a great video you can share with your friends and family members to help them learn a little more about SparkPeople. Simply click "Share This Post with Others" below. Thanks for your support!

Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

"What's wrong with policemen on television these days? They're always complete opposites. One of them is fat and poor, the other one's thin and posh. One of them's a woman, the other one's a Martian. One of them has four heads, one of them's allergic to heads."1990s Brit Com set in a small-town police station, written by Ben Elton and starring Rowan Atkinson as repressed, old-fashioned but basically decent Police Inspector Raymond Fowler. His nemesis in the series was Inspector Grim, a proto-Gene Hunt type but without the brains. The other regulars were all fellow police officers, including Raymond's longterm and long-suffering cohab girlfriend Sergeant Patricia Dawkins, elderly Constable Gladstone, junior officers Goody and Habib, and Grim's henchman Kray.The series was apparently modelled on the classic World War II-themed show Dad's Army, an ambitious target to live up to. The BBC's website sums up the show as "Should've worked. Didn't."Not to be confused with the Errol Morris documentary about Dallas police and prosecutors framing a man for murder, nor The Thin Red Line.Came thirty-fourth in Britain's Best Sitcom.

A San Clemente developer who promised doctors big profits from surgical centers was ordered last week to pay $3.8 million for defrauding a Fullerton psychologist.
The developer, Bruce Bennett Wallace, filed bankruptcy last year to escape nearly $27 million in debts, including an earlier judgment in favor of the psychologist, Robert Kraszewski.
Neither Wallace nor the doctors who sued him are talking. However, court papers describe a business that looked lucrative but proved to be a financial black hole.
Dozens of doctors gave Wallace millions of dollars to build centers in Yorba Linda, Costa Mesa and York, Penn. Two of those centers never opened. The third went bust after 13 months.
And at least two of the doctor-investors went bankrupt, too.
One of them is Henry Bikhazi.
In late 2007, Wallace approached Bikhazi, then 70, with an idea he promised would let the Newport Beach ear, nose and throat specialist "retire on an island of his choice."
The idea was instantly attractive to physicians like Bikhazi: physician-owned surgery centers where doctors controlled the schedule, doctors selected the equipment and doctors shared the facility fee. No hospital – no middleman.
Wallace's brochure made it seem almost easy:
"Tremendously reduced risk. Minimal out of pocket – maximum profit," the "Dear Doctor" cover letter said.
An accompanying document projected that a $4,000 unit would return an average of $17,952 per year over the first five years.
Bikhazi paid $12,500 cash and contributed an elaborate model of the Napoleonic-era British frigate HMS Alfred, worth $50,000, for the lobby of a planned surgical center in Costa Mesa.
But Bikhazi will not be retiring to an island anytime soon. He declared bankruptcy in November after learning that his $12,500 cash investment had saddled him with $5 million in debt.
He is now suing Wallace for fraud. He declined to talk with the Register.

At 29,029 feet, Mount Everest is both majestic and beautiful. Its extreme challenges and inherent danger have long attracted the adventurous, the foolhardy and sometimes, both.
So what could possibly enhance the image of Earth's tallest and most iconic peak?
Fine art, that's what.
At least if you ask New York artist Ranan Lurie, who is in Nepal today watching three of his acrylic canvases embark on the arduous trek up the mountain. Three Nepalese climbers, each toting a canvas, will place the 34-by-14-inch panels at the top of the mountain, the first art installation ever on the peak.
The canvases comprise smaller parts of Lurie's colossal Uniting Painting, which in 2005 was displayed in the United Nation's New York headquarters. The multi-piece, multi-media art installation consisted of dozens of panels that spanned 600 feet. The work descended from the U.N. ceiling and into the visitors' lobby. It traveled at ground level into the outdoor plaza and beyond to the East River where it continued across the water to Roosevelt Island.
The artwork was removed during ongoing renovations at the U.N. building, but Lurie says it will eventually return. In the meantime, other sections of The Uniting Painting have found their way to the border between North and South Korea, where it is framed by wire. Another bit was captured on an electronic chip and blasted into space via the Space Shuttle in 2010.
Nepal was interested in the work and its placement on Everest as a way of boosting the nation's fine-arts profile, Lurie says. The three panels are encased in a protective covering to help them weather the elements. In a year or so, they'll be returned for display in Kathmandu, Nepal's capital.
Lurie refers to his painting as "a graphic philosophy." Consider it the Esperanto of fine art, he says.
He'd like the concept spread to other parts of the world. In his mind's eye, the artist envisions a "belt" of Uniting paintings surrounding the globe to represent "friendship, equality and mutual respect." It would be visible from space and would signal "that we humans are good people. Unfortunately, we carry the sword of Sparta, but we also wave the olive branch of good art."
What do you think about the notion of an art display on Mount Everest?

X marked the No. 1 spot at the box office this weekend, as ''X2: X-Men United'' stormed into multiplexes and grossed a phenomenal $85.9 million in its first three days, according to studio estimates.
The ''X-Men'' sequel, starring Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Ian McKellen, and Patrick Stewart, sold enough tickets to score the fourth-biggest opening weekend ever, behind ''Spider-Man,'' which holds the record with $114.8 million, and the two ''Harry Potter'' films, which earned $90.3 million and $88.4 million. And it blew away the opening tally of the first ''X-Men,'' which grossed $54.5 million three summers ago. Sequels usually perform better than their predecessors, but not this much better.
What does this mean for ''X2'''s future? Well, the first film made 35 percent of its total gross in its first weekend. Even if ''X2'' has already earned 40 percent of its eventual total, that still means it'll end up in the $215 million range. In other words, a third ''X-Men'' seems likely. (Though since the title ''XXX'' has already been taken, they'll have to call it ''X3.'') ''X2'''s strong performance also cements the first weekend of May as the start of the Hollywood summer; last year, ''Spider-Man'' debuted the same weekend. After the box office slump of the last four months (down 12 percent from last year), the industry needed a hit like this badly.
As expected, ''The Lizzie McGuire Movie'' claimed second place (though a very distant second) with $17.1 million. With ''X2'' largely a male draw, Hilary Duff's legions of female fans were apparently excited to see their Disney Channel heroine on the big screen. The film made back its reported $15 million budget in just three days.
Last week's top three films each slipped two slots this week. The John Cusack thriller ''Identity'' fell 41 percent to $9.5 million, bringing its 10-day total to $30.3 million, while Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler's hit comedy ''Anger Management'' declined 43 percent to $8.5 million -- it now stands at $115.4 million. Even the family flick ''Holes'' dropped 48 percent to $6.5 million, increasing its total to $45 million. Looks like most kids ditched their parents for ''X2'' this weekend.

To do them justice and to satisfy whatever curiosity you may have, I thought a short update on the people who played the most important roles in my "education" may be in order. I've been fortunate in being able to keep up with most of them over the years, or to re-connect.
Rick, the boy from the hollers of Appalchia who taught me how to love and to share a life, graduated with a Music Education degree in 1970, two years after me. He then set out on his own "Peace Corps" adventure, driving with a friend cross-country to Los Angeles to begin a career in music. Rick has always led a charmed life, falling into lucrative and highly visible situations because of his talent and his innately cheerful personality. He quickly found a niche in the LA bubblegum rock factory, began hobnobbing with important record producers, and wrote several songs for some important people in that genre. It wasn't the classics, and it certainly wasn't the gospel he was weaned on, but it was a foot in the door of the Big Time, and he discovered a talent for pop composition. He was brushed by fame with a cover of Tiger Beat and a recording contract. In the meantime, he became the music director of an area high school and eventually settled into that career, becoming locally famous for the sophisticated productions he mounted. It was the swinging 70s, though, and Rick was not untouched by the strong drug and alcohol culture of the times. He made his way back home to Kentucky to set himself on the road to health, and then headed to Nashville, where he is now an important background mover and shaker in that not insignificant music scene, especially jazz. He has a very busy practice as a performance coach and career counselor for young singers, and is considered a godsend by some of the biggest names in the recording industry because of the techniques he uses to coach them to their best and to protect their chronically overused voices. Rick is still living a charmed life and is thriving.
I've completely lost track of my Nexus singing partner, the marvelous Lou Spencer. She did make good on her ambition to quit school and follow a singing career, and the last I heard she was a solo act in lounges across the midwest.
Jim Knowles went on to become a golden boy at the Peace Corps, quickly moving from his Atlanta public affairs job to overseas country directorships. His organization skills were used to open some of the most difficult and, in their time, successful Africa posts in the Peace Corps' history. He was offered a high-level position at agency headquarters, but opted to stay overseas, where he thought the work of the Peace Corps had true meaning. He was given the full legal Peace Corps career run of 8 1/2 years, at the time, a rare honor.
After the Peace Corps, he foundered a bit, searching for meaningful work in the mainstream job market. On a whim, he took off for Hawaii, and that seems to have been the charm he was looking for. He quickly established himself in an executive position at the Honolulu Zoo, and had a great run there until tragedy hit, in the form of dementia. That brilliant mind, so powerful, organized, and witty is lost to us. He is in a facility in Honolulu, no longer able to care for himself. I weep at the thought.
Jim's brother Dave, who brought us all together, joined the Navy during the Viet Nam years and then followed the career he had always planned in journalism; then branched out to public relations. He and his wife raised a family in the Midwest, where they remain, in good health.
Jim's and Dave's mother and my surrogate, Mrs. Knowles, remarried late in life and had a wonderful time until she passed away.
Kofi and I continued an active correspondence until well into the 70s, when I reluctantly found it necessary to put an end to it. As time passed, it had become clear that he was more and more dependent on me for financial support, while at the same time I was living my life in neutral, realizing that because of my lack of preparation for anything practical, it would be some time before I could start moving on an upward path. Chronically, I was barely in a position to support myself, much less anyone else, and it was soon clear that the idea of my sponsoring him on a student visa to the States, our Neverland pipe dream in Ghana, would not become a reality. Hard as it was, I decided the kindest thing I could do for him was to remove from his life myself and the false hope I represented.
Three decades of silence between us ensued. About three years ago, I found a web site for Kumasi High School alumnae, and posted a shot-in-the-dark query there, asking if anyone knew of Kofi's whereabouts. That appeared to be a dead end and I forgot about it until mid-June of this year, a day, in fact, before the movers came to our house in Arlington to pack us out for this new life we are beginning in North Carolina. A friend of Kofi's saw my query and put us in touch. By the miracle of email, we have been able to complete our circle and have begun corresponding again.
Kofi is now 59 years old. His fortunes have followed the path of the local economy, meaning he has had flush times and bad ones, but he has survived the roller-coaster. When I had last heard from him, he had a steady and well-paying job with the national book manufacturer, the Ghana Publishing Company. He lost that job when the Ghanaian economy ground to a halt in the late 1970s. He then went to Nigeria for a few years and worked there, and then returned to Ghana and began a business with his Nigeria savings. That thrived until the economy bottomed out again. Next, he found a job with another government-run business, which he kept until it, too, was eliminated just recently, because of the worldwide economic downturn.
He has had four children, all of them successes. His firstborn, daughter Cherry Adowa (my namesake), is 34 years old and teaches in Accra. Another daughter is married to a successful businessman currently in the process of establishing himself in the United States. There are also two sons, the youngest of whom is about to begin post-secondary school; Kofi's challenge is to find employment again so his son can continue his education. Kofi has a clear memory of his own father's absence and has vowed not to repeat the pattern. At last, I am in a position to lend a hand, and I am grateful.
A reader of this series may easily conclude that I was a selfish, headstrong fool during years I should have been laying a foundation for a productive adulthood. I wouldn't disagree. But the brilliant accuracy of hindsight blinds us to reality as it was being lived. The actions I took and the decisions I made were things I had to do at the time, not merely what I wanted to do, and I am proud of all of it, even the mistakes. I decided many years ago that regret is a waste of time and emotional energy. What was, was. Out of that unplanned mess grew the lessons that inform my life now, and it's a life that I love. Whatever price I paid for early self-indulgence was small compared to the toll taken by doing what may have conformed to expectations, but that would have left me spiritually empty, and deep down, I think I had an awareness of that choice all along. Life offers warts as well as beauty marks, and I've collected my share of both as I've traveled my road. I cherish every single one.

Movie: Love Aaj Kal (2009)
Music Director: Pritam Chakraborty
Director: Imtiaz Ali
Lyrics: Irshad Kamil
Starring: Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, Neetu Singh, Rishi Kapoor
Song Title: Chor Bazari
Chor Bazari Lyrics
Chorii… chorii
Chh chorrii
Chor bazari do naino ki
Pehle thi aadat jo haat gayi
Pyar ki jo teri meri
Umar aaye thi woh kaat gayi
Duniya ki tho fikar kahan thi
Teri bhi ab chinta ghat gayi
(chori… cho chorri)
Tu bhi tu hai, main bhi main hu
Duniya sari dekh ulat gayi
Tu na jane main na janu
Kasie sari bath palat gayi
Ghatni hi thi yeh bhi ghatna
Ghathe ghathe lo yeh ghat gayi
Haan… Chor bazari do naino ki
Pehle ki aadat jo haat gayi
Chorii… chorii
Chh chorrii
(Taarif teri karnaaa
Tujhe khone se darnaa
Haan bhool gaya ab tujhpe
Din mein chaar daffa marna) – 2
Pyaar tumhari utri sari
Bathon ki badli bhi chat gayi
Hum se mein pe aayi aise
Mujhko toh main hi main kat gayi
Ek huye the do se dono
Dono ki ab rahe batt gayi
(Chh chorrii)
Ab koi fikar nahin
Gum ka bhi zikar nahin
Haan… hota hun main jis raste pe
Aaye khushi wahin
Aazad hun mein tujh se
Aazad hai tu mujhse
Haan.. jo jee chahe jaise chahe
Karle aaj yahin
Laj sharam ki choti motti
Jo thi dori woh bhi kat gayi
Chauk chawbare gali mohale
Khol ke mein sare ghonghat gayi
Tu na badli mein na badala
Dilli saari dehk badal gayi
Ek minute mein duniya daari
Ki mein sari samajh nigal gayi
Haan rang biranga pani pe ke
Seedhi sadi kudi bigad gayi
Dekh ke mujho hasta gaata
Saad gayi yeh duniya saad gayi
Chorii… chorii
Chh chorrii
Chorii… chorii
Chh chorrii

Infection in the intensive care unit alters physiological networks
2009; 10
Physicians use clinical and physiological data to treat patients every day, and it is essential for treating a patient appropriately. However, medical sources of clinical physiological data are only now starting to find use in bioinformatics research.We collected 29 types of physiological and clinical data on a minute-by-minute basis from trauma patients in the intensive care unit along with whether they contracted an infection during their stay. Dividing the patients into two groups based on this criterion, we determined that the correlational network amongst pairs of physiological variables changes based on whether the patient contracted an infection.Examining the variable pairs with the largest change in correlation across groups reveals potential changes in the way our treatments affect the patient's physiology and in how our bodies react to physiological insults. These findings highlight the usefulness of physiological informatics and suggest new relationships to study while also validating previously reported relationships.
