HELP!!!"How do I make Lemonade out of this Nursing Profession?" - page 2
Hi Fellow Nurses out there in cyberspace- Need your help! Please put your minds together & brainstorm some great employment opportunities that are out there for me that maybe I just don't know about. Nursing was never a good... Read More
- 0Jul 15, '12 by 08RNGradThere are many jobs for RN's in research, do you live near a large university? Try drug safety or medical information positions (call center). These both pay more than acute care nursing and involve no patient care. You can either go through a contracting agency or directly through a pharma or CRO. Good Luck!
- 0Jul 15, '12 by Kat_everdeenI used to work for a company that was responsible for car insurance claims, they employed nurses to determine what questions need to be asked of an independent doc in order to figure out if the person could continue to claim disability and have the insurance company continue to pay out. Personally I found it to be soul crushing, I had a claimant who was clearly injured and needed pretty serious knee surgery, the independent doc said he needed a clearer Xray to answer definitively what needed to be done on this persons knee, but either way the person needed surgery. They wanted to leave her file in limbo so eventually her claim could be outright denied. I imagine you might be able to find a job in the pharma industry or in a doctors office, possibly plastics. I am not a nurse so this is just an educated guess.
- 1Jul 16, '12 by chevyvI'm a psych nurse and I interact with pts all night long! There are also many pts with medical stuff going on right alongside psych stuff. If you aren't therapeutic, don't enjoy hands on and restraints on nursing, or the constant pt trying your last nerve then be careful of this field as well. Just my as a psych nurse.
- 0Jul 16, '12 by lweave2Hi 08RNGrad- Thank you for your reply. truly appreciate all your feedback. Can you refer me to anyone working in research? Have you worked in research in some capacity? Where would you begin this searching adventure? Do you know of any contracting agencies I could look up? I live in the Atlanta, GA. area. What would you do if you were me?
Thanks for helping me!-Lisa
- 0Jul 16, '12 by lweave2Hi Kat_everdeen- Thank you for your reply. I truly appreciate all your help! How do I research these type of companies that hire employees to review car insurance claims? What is this type of position called? What about big car insurance companies? Do they hire these type employees? Did you hate this job? Can you refer me to any nurses who worked with you at this company? Aren't these nurses certified in Disability insurance? If you were me what would you do to research this area of nursing? Thanks Again!- Lisa
- 0Jul 23, '12 by mdgaleI worked as an MDS Coordinator and LOVED it. I was able to take medical aillments and assign payment to them. I gained a lot of experience navigating through a medical record. I got to make more or less money for my facility by moving a date back and forth. It was like CSI for me :-)
- 0Aug 4, '12 by kcmylornClinical research makes the most money. CRA's and CRC's- make at least $91,000( $45.00/hr) in my area.
Not the case with bedside nursing- try 20-30,000 less.
Call center nurses( like the one describe above- medical call center for a pharama) make even less than bedside nurses- $20.00/hr. I went on one of those interviews, after driving 1 hr and 20 min for a $20.00/hr job. I deliberately flunked the typing test, no way am I workihng for $20.00/hr. Those smiling nurses in the add, must live right around the corner and have a husband to support them.
Insurance companies: I went on interviews with each one of them: the major companies- BCBS- worse pay- approx.$25.00/hr, Aetna- second worse- maybe $26-26.00.hr, UHC- not much better- $30.00/hr. They don't pay that great either for case managment and UM. The clinical directors in these companies may make good money but one has to have 10-15yr experience at the beside plus- their key word is " proven" leadership in the insurance industry/ project management/ supervisor. Entry level in the insurance company makes the low end(30.00/hr and it depends on the region you live in/ google them and look up the rates on the career page) of bedside nurse. The insurance companies want bedside experience and most want some kind of previous insurance company experience.
Public Health- really poor pay for a whole lot of education, alot of positions in Public health calls for a Master's either an MSN or a MPH and don't pay diddly- less than hospital bedside. That's a crime with that much education.
Forgot: the $90,000 research jobs- want experience in research. The best I can figure on how to get that- was the nurses who work ing the doctors office who is doing the research are trained in the clinical trial process. To work in these doctor's off usually is bedside nursing in a hospital first- that how they hook up with the doc. Example: working an oncology unit, the oncologist does clinical trials in the offices, the nurse gets a position as an office nurse from working with the doc on the floor. The office nurse is trained by the docotor's office or the pharma company on the proceedure for doing the clinical trials. From the job exzperience in the docotor's office, the nurse applies to the pharma company for a pharma company for CRA or CRC position. It's not an overnight progression-it usually takes years. The key is experience-Last edit by kcmylorn on Aug 4, '12
- 0Aug 6, '12 by Piglet08Find a career counselor. Not a shill for a private college that wants to sign you up. I mean, someone who can discuss your background and interests with you and help you consider options. There might be something you haven't heard of and we haven't thought of that will work for you.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Sheriff Jim Kaelin says his office is looking into Judge Tom Greenwell's personal life and financial records, plus seeking more information from two 'persons of interest', as the investigation into the judge's suicide continues.
Sheriff Kaelin says there was something going on in Greenwell's life that he felt committing suicide was his only option.
According to investigators, Judge Greenwell died as early as 12:45 p.m. Monday from a single gunshot wound to the head. Almost 6 hours later a member of a cleaning crew at the courthouse found his body with a pistol nearby.
Greenwell reportedly had several phone conversations before taking his own life. Investigators say they also found a handwritten last will and testament. We're told it's not a suicide note and did not contain any information to explain what was going on in his life.
The judge was on vacation and wasn't due back at work until next Monday for a murder trial.

On Tuesday, May 14, 2013, State Senator Jeff Klein and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr., gathered with Bronx business owners, employers, union leaders, homeowners and commuters on Bassett Avenue — near the railroad tracks — to announce the anticipated economic impact of MTA Metro North's expansion into the East Bronx.
Senator Klein and Borough President Diaz shared findings from a study they commissioned late last year, which measured the potential economic benefit to the Bronx resulting from four new Metro North stations slated to be built in the East Bronx, according to the expansion proposed by Metro North on current Amtrak lines. These stations will be located in Co-op City, Hunts Point, Morris Park and Parkchester.
"Conclusions from the study indicate that service expansion will have a profound economic benefit to the Bronx, including the creation of new jobs, reduced commute time and expected rise in home values," said Senator Klein.
"Metro North service on the Amtrak line, including a Morris Park stop, will help transform Einstein as well as our local community," noted Gordon Earle, associate dean of public affairs and communications, who spoke on behalf of Einstein at the gathering. "It will provide major benefits for our faculty, researchers, students and the entire East Bronx medical community, offering easy access to and from Manhattan, as well as to Washington, DC and to Connecticut and Boston. We are extremely enthusiastic about the plan."

Prepared for the American Bankruptcy Institute
Web posted and Copyright © November 3, 1999, American Bankruptcy Institute.
Statement Of The American Bankruptcy Institute
Before A Joint Hearing Of The
House Subcommittee On Commercial And Administrative Law
And The
Senate Subcommittee On Administrative Oversight And The Courts
On Bankruptcy Judgeship Needs
Chairman Grassley, Chairman Gekas and members of the joint subcommittees, I am Ford Elsaesser, the President of the American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI). I am a senior partner with the Sandpoint, Idaho firm of Elsaesser, Jarzabek, Anderson, Marks & Elliott where my practice is primarily in the areas of commercial and bankruptcy litigation, corporations, partnerships and rural electric cooperatives. I am also the bankruptcy panel trustee for chapters 7, 11 and 12 in the District of Idaho and the Eastern District of Washington, handling 1,100 cases per year. As a speaker at numerous regional and national educational programs around the country, my perspective on bankruptcy is national in scope.
As you know, the ABI is the nation's largest multi-disciplinary organization devoted to research and education on issues related to bankruptcy and insolvency. Founded in 1982, ABI is non-profit and non-partisan. Our more than 6,800 members span the entire spectrum of bankruptcy professionals: attorneys for both creditors and debtors in individual and commercial cases, judges, accountants, lenders, trustees, credit managers, turnaround professionals, academics and others.
Importantly, the ABI is not a lobbying organization and we do not advocate positions before Congress, although we regularly appear before these subcommittees and other committees of Congress. We have historically supported legislation that affects the administration of justice in the bankruptcy system, such as regarding the salaries of bankruptcy judges, or to provide for judicial retirement benefits, and to increase the number of judges where needed and appropriate. We appeared most recently in support of more judgeships in June, 1997 and December, 1995.
We are pleased to appear again today to provide our views on the Judicial Conference's request for 24 additional bankruptcy judgeships, including 18 now contained in the bankruptcy reform bills (H.R. 833 and S. 625) and six additional positions (District of Puerto Rico, District of Delaware, District of Maryland, Eastern District North Carolina, Southern District of Florida, and Middle District of Georgia, to be shared with the Southern District of Georgia) recommended by the Conference in March 1999.
The ABI applauds the work of the Judicial Conference of the United States for its continued careful assessment of the workload burdens of the bankruptcy courts, and for its prudent recommendations for additional judgeships. Congress last authorized new bankruptcy judgeships in 1992. The Judicial Conference sent recommendations for additional judgeships to Congress in 1993, 1995, 1997 and earlier this year. Each time, the Conference has reassessed its prior recommendations to ensure that the need continues to be demonstrated.
The formal process of the Bankruptcy Committee of the Conference is elaborate, taking into account not only a weighted caseload formula developed by the Federal Judicial Center (generally requiring more than 1,500 weighted filing per judge) but also on-site surveys and other factors not captured by a mere numerical formula. While the focus has been on the formula as an objective measurement, the results from the use of the formula are never dispositive. Some districts that exceed the 1,500 weighted case filings are not recommended for more judges because those courts believe they can handle the additional workload.
Filing Trends in Perspective
As these subcommittees are too well aware, the pending judgeship request comes in the wake of an explosion in bankruptcy filings during much of the 1990's, with total new cases peaking in 1998 at over 1.4 million. Your subcommittees have heard much testimony over the last few years about the apparent paradox of record bankruptcies during "the best economy in a generation," in the words of President Clinton. During the '90s, consumers have dominated the national economy, accounting for two-thirds of our gross domestic product. High rates of employment, household wealth and consumer confidence have coexisted with record levels of household debt as a share of after-tax income. For the first time, the rate of personal savings is negative. Bankruptcy filings have grown in virtual lock-step with an increase in family debt burden, from both home mortgages and installment debt.
Most recently, as consumers' non-mortgage debt burden has stabilized (in the wake of sustained low interest rates and intense competition in the consumer credit markets), we have seen a leveling off and even a decline in personal bankruptcies. The U.S. per capita personal bankruptcy rate dropped by 17.5 percent from the fourth quarter of 1998 to the second quarter of 1999. Certain economic factors suggest that this decline will continue in the near term.
Using a year-end of June 30, filings for the 12-month period ending in 1999 were 1,391,964. In comparison, 1,429,451 new cases were filed for the 12-month period ending in 1998. Although filings have declined this year, the number of new petitions filed represent a 62.2 percent increase over the same period ending in 1995.
Workload Impact
As these subcommittees know, the focus cannot be entirely on total case filings as not all cases result in the same workload for a judge. The vast majority of cases are consumer filings. Since 1993, consumer (non-business) cases have accounted for an increasing percentage of total bankruptcies, peaking at 97 percent this year. These cases typically require less time of a bankruptcy judge. Unless there is an adversary proceeding brought by a creditor, or a motion to convert the case brought by the trustee, most of these cases now involve very little work by the judge.
However, the pending requests should be considered in light of the significant changes to the consumer bankruptcy laws proposed by H.R. 833 and S. 625. Consumer bankruptcy cases which now involve relatively little or no judge time will likely account for a greater workload if either of these bills become law. Attached to my statement is an excerpt from a comprehensive, new analysis completed last week by Hon. Eugene R. Wedoff, a bankruptcy judge in Chicago and the Co-chair of the ABI Consumer Bankruptcy Committee. Judge Wedoff's analysis identifies several discrete areas of ambiguity in the application of the means test found in H.R. 833, where parties and the trustee will be forced to litigate new issues. Beyond the means test, there exist an array of other changes to current law that will require satellite litigation before the bankruptcy judge. These areas include reaffirmations, broadened exceptions to discharge, credit counseling requirements, and more.
As a Chapter 7 trustee, I can state that under the proposed changes, there would be a
substantial increase in consumer bankruptcy litigation, even if there is a corresponding decline in
filings due to the "disincentives" to file found in both H.R. 833 and S. 625. Ironically then,
consumer bankruptcy cases that heretofore rarely reached a bankruptcy judge, will now occupy
more judicial time.
There is concern, however, that a rise in Chapter 11 filings could occur just around the corner. Federal bank regulators have issued repeated warnings in recent months about credit quality and concern over underwriting standards for commercial loans. Bond defaults are rising. Sectors including health care (nursing homes and hospitals) and retail are seeing growth in the number of financially-troubled entities. Health care bankruptcies, in particular, are very judicial time intensive.
Requests for Resources Should be Scrutinized
While it is important to meet the legitimate resource needs of the courts, we agree with Chairman Grassley that the judiciary bears the burden of demonstrating the need for new judgeships. We applaud Chairman Grassley's healthy skepticism toward an ever-growing federal bench, especially a the appellate level. It is also important to realize that the Third Branch of government, including the bankruptcy courts, is not immune from oversight into its use of current resources. No request for more resources should be approved by Congress without an assessment that the current judges are being used in the most efficient manner. We note, however, that the Bankruptcy Committee has consistently recommended fewer permanent and more temporary judgeships than requested by the Circuit Councils.
Limiting judgeship requests to the number necessary is important because each bankruptcy judgeship costs about $721,000 to establish and about $575,000 per year to maintain, according to the General Accounting Office. At the same time, it is important that there are sufficient judgeships to enable the bankruptcy system to operate fairly and efficiently. We believe the Judicial Conference, through its Bankruptcy Committee, has struck the appropriate balance in the pending requests.
Cost Saving Mechanisms Should be Pursued
We thank the Subcommittees for inviting ABI to participate in today's hearing and we look forward to assisting you and your staff in any way you find helpful. I would be pleased to answer any questions you might have.

Solar Energy in the Central Valley and the Chicken and Egg Challenge
Over the past several years thousands of megawatts of renewable energy projects have been approved for construction on both public and private lands in California. The main development areas have been the Mojave Desert and Carrizo Plain areas of the state. But another region of California with great potential — the San Joaquin Valley — is still largely undeveloped, awaiting a commitment from state planners and regulators to prioritize the building of the transmission line needed to make development in this area feasible.
Ypsilanti, Michigan's Corner Brewery celebrates completion of $250,000 energy efficiency project
The Corner Brewery in Ypsilanti will be hosting a ribbon-cutting reception Wednesday to celebrate the completion and launch of its $250,000 "Green Brewery Project."
AnnArbor.com previously reported that with the installation of nearly $345,000 worth of energy-efficient devices and systems, the Arbor Brewing Company and the Corner Brewery, became Michigan's first solar breweries.

With the price of solar panels falling more than 50 percent last year, what is the impact on the U.S. solar industry as it battles to compete with China?
Installations of Solar Energy Systems Double
When it comes to solar power, more and more Americans are seeing the light.
U.S. Solar Power Growth Jumps to New Record
The U.S. solar industry installed a record number of panels in 2011, more than double 2010, and is likely to see strong growth again this year, according to a new report.
New Solar Panels Blossomed Despite a Tough Year for the Industry
Last year seemed like a dark one for the solar industry: stiff competition from China drove American manufacturers to layoffs and even bankruptcy, while the low price of natural gas and the loss of a critical government subsidy weakened incentives for new solar developments. And then there was the long shadow of Solyndra, whose bankruptcy after receiving federal loans cast a pall over other green-energy endeavors.

(CARLSBAD, CA) – It began decades ago in hospitals. In the 1990s, it started showing up outside hospital settings. And now, it's suddenly making national headlines, with healthy people – even athletes – teetering between life and death, all from one superbug. In fact, in 2007, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention produced a large-scale report on the culprit – MRSA.
MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus areus) is caused by staph bacteria. The staph bacteria are generally found on the skin or in the nose. In fact, one-third of the general population carries staph on their skin or in their noses, according to the Mayo Clinic. These people are "colonized," but not infected. In other words, they are carriers of the germs. The germs are generally harmless, until they enter the body through an open wound. Once inside, MRSA strains of staph are particularly dangerous because they are resistant to most mainstream antibiotics.
Participants in fitness programs are susceptible to staph infections, including MRSA, since bacteria can spread through cuts, abrasions, and skin-to-skin contact. Even sharing towels or athletic equipment can lead to MRSA infections. Jazzercise Founder and CEO Judi Sheppard Missett offers the following tips to protect yourself from MRSA at workout facilities:
Wash your hands. The number one means of defending yourself against germs is always handwashing. Wash your hands before and after your workout. Scrub for at least 15 seconds and dry with a disposable towel.
Shower. After each workout session, take a shower as soon as possible. Scrub with soap and water. The longer that germs are given a chance to stay active on your sweat-covered body, the more likely they can enter through a tiny open wound.
Spray down equipment. Most gyms or fitness facilities offer cleaning sprays or sanitizing wipes for your use. Spray handles of cardio equipment before use. Spray dumbbell weights or use a towel between you and the weights.
Buy your own mat. For classes that require bare feet and exposed skin to touch mats, such as yoga, bringing your own mat is always the safest option.
Wash with hot water. When you wash your gym clothes and towels, use a "hot" water setting and dry in a hot dryer. And always wash your clothes and towels after every use!
Don't share. As a kid, you learned it's polite to share, but that doesn't extend to personal hygiene materials. Never share your towels, razors, personal hygiene items, or even athletic clothing with others. MRSA can spread via contaminated objects.
If you get a suspicious-looking sore, visit your doctor immediately and ask to be tested for MRSA. The sore may initially look like a large pimple or bug bite. You'll know that it's likely infected if your wound has redness, swelling, warmth, tenderness, and yellowish-white pus.
Once you've visited your doctor, if you are prescribed an antibiotic, be sure to take all of the doses, even after your infection appears to be improving. The final doses of your antibiotic kill the toughest remnants of the bacteria.
Jazzercise, created by Judi Sheppard Missett, is the world's leading dance-fitness program with more than 7,500 instructors teaching 32,000 classes weekly in the U.S. and around the globe. Since 1969, millions of people of all ages and fitness levels have reaped the benefits of this comprehensive program, designed to enhance cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility.

Identify and research important current and emerging governance challenges and develop and communicate effective solutions that enhance the abilities of board members and C-level executives to protect and promote the interests of their stakeholders. We pursue this mission by:
- Attracting thought leaders and governance professionals who educate our audiences through conferences, seminars, in-house programs and meetings.
- Sponsoring or collaborating with Transformational Roundtables comprised of governance thought leaders, board members and C-level executives who focus on important current and emerging governance issues.
- Seeking input from, sponsoring and/or collaborating with alliance partners, which include thought leaders from a variety of disciplines, as well as organizations focused on governance.
- Identifying how qualitative issues such as communications, behavioral styles, board composition, board focus, and the development of anticipatory organizations may impact execution of "good governance" and strategy in the boardroom.
- Conducting research based on issues raised and communicating the results of research through books, white papers, articles in relevant publications, radio, television and internet, and specific feedback to board members, C-level executives and others who will benefit from this knowledge and research.
Failures of high profile companies such as Enron and WorldCom led to Sarbanes-Oxley in 2002. The law encouraged directors to do a better job in fulfilling their fiduciary duties especially in the area of financial reporting. Abuses by Wall Street and mortgage bankers and poorly designed incentives for credit rating agencies, among other reasons, led to the credit crisis of 2008 to which the government responded with the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010. Dodd-Frank encouraged shareholders to be more active and hold directors more accountable.
The federal government over the past 50 years has also failed to exercise its fiduciary responsibilities to its shareholders (today's and tomorrow's citizens). In particular the last two CEOs have increased the direct federal debt from 5 trillion to over 16 trillion. Some of the country's directors (congressmen) have been replaced and given a mandate by some shareholders (Tea Party and other activists) to exercise better governance.
The IECG believes that corporate and government fiscal and governance failures have resulted largely from poor governance practices which include:
As a result of these many failures, the United States of America finds itself with a fiscal mess, monetary policy which operates in uncharted waters and debts and deficits which are, to say the least, unsustainable. Corporate America is ever more resilient but too many corporations seem to believe that the primary source of capital is political. In a nation where the revolving door of corporate executives and political appointees is ever turning, there is a growing sense that trust in our basic institutions is perhaps irreparably eroded.
It is within this context that IECG finds itself in the roles of assisting board members to understand and perform their fiduciary duties and provide direction to their companies, but also in encouraging business leaders to assure that government leaders do the same.

King Corn
You Are What You Eat
From the critics

Corn. We can live with it, but we can't live without it.
Great job by these young filmmakers. Government subsidized farmers growing corn seed that's: fertilized with ammonia (yum); genetically modified to resist herbicides (slurp); fed to confined cattle until they're bloated and bursting at the seams, and almost dead with sickness, and combatively pumped up with antibiotics (tasty); made into high fructose corn syrup that's injected into virtually everything... and popped out as supersized empty calories in "Early Death Meals" at your local smiling Ronald McDonald franchise. Who's really the clown here? I was shocked to realize that the popcorn I was snacking on while watching this documentary was MADE OF CORN, TOO!! It's a conspiracy...
A very unpretentious and sincere look at corn. All aspects of corn, how it's everywhere in our food, whether as a primary ingredient or a source of food for a primary ingredient; why it's in our food - such as how subsedies influence what farmers may / may not grow, and whether it is good for us. It would have had more impact had subsidies on corn been compared to other possible, very popular crops like soy. Farming's a hard business and the role of the political system and it's impact on the food system cannot be viewed separately. Too bad they cut the scenes where they randomly offer corn to people on the street, that's funny. Good thing for extras (although the basement videos are kind of blah).
We are made of corn. When Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis happened upon this astounding fact, they needed to know more: how does the corn get from the corn plant deep into the very molecular structures of our bodies? This became the motivation for their slightly tongue-in cheek documentary film of a road trip to the corn capitol of the U.S.-- Iowa.
With many stops en route at McDonalds (almost everything on that menu is corn-based), Cheney and Ellis follow the corn trail from field to grain elevator to processor to feed lot to beef (and poultry) slaughterhouse to supermarket to our dinner table (or bag of take-out). You don't eat meat, you say? Ah, but practically every aisle of the store is stocked with corn in its permutation as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), so vegetarians are made of corn, too. Echoing other authors--Michael Pollan in The Omnivore's Dilemma (394.12 Polla.M) and Eric Schlosser in Fast Food Nation (394.12 Schlo.E 2005)—albeit in a lighter tone, these young documentarians offer viewers an entertaining and enlightening 90 minutes.

QuotesAdd a Quote
Don Clikeman, farmer: "We aren't growing quality... We're growing crap! Poorest quality crap the world's ever seen -- we're growing it today." Ian Cheney: "You don't eat the corn that you grow." Elna Clikeman: "No... Not saying that I might not grind up a little bit for some corn meal, but I... basically don't." Don Clikeman: "I don't grow, necessarily grow, my corn for food. I don't care what's done with it! I'm selling it! That's the bottom line."
Michael Pollan, University of California: "All that cheap... surplus corn goes somewhere, and in fact, a lot of it is going onto our bodies."
Ken Cook, Environmental Working Group: "There is a role that the subsidies have played in making... the raw material available for... an overweight society... We subsidize the "Happy Meals" but we don't subsidize the healthy ones."

There is nothing more spectacular than lots of lobsters and a great bake to go along with them—jumbo shrimp, clams, and mussels. What fun! Invite your friends over and pop the cork on a steely cold Sauvignon Blanc.
1. Rinse the clams under cold water and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle the cornmeal over the clams, add cold water to cover, and let soak for 1 hour. Drain, rinse again under cold water, and drain again.
2. Scrub the mussels well and rinse them in several changes of cold water to remove any sand. Drain. If they have beards, don't pull them off until right before you cook the mussels.
3. Place a lobster on a cutting board and plunge the tip of a sharp knife about 1½ inches down from the eyes into the center of the head; cut straight through the body and head. Then cut lengthwise completely through the whole tail. Remove and discard the sac in the top of the head, the tomalley (green liver), and the intestine. Carefully crack the claws with the back of the knife. Repeat with the remaining lobsters.
4. Preheat the oven to 475°F.
5. Combine the butter, 4 tablespoons of the parsley, the garlic, and salt and pepper in a small bowl.
6. Divide the lobster halves, cut side up, and the clams, mussels, and shrimp between two large rimmed baking sheets; Season the seafood well with salt and pepper. Spread the butter mixture over the lobsters and shrimp and on the clams and mussels.
7. Bake until the lobsters and shrimp are cooked through (the meat should be opaque) and the clams and mussels have opened, about 20 minutes. Discard any clams or mussels that do not open.
8. Arrange the shellfish on one or two large platters. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley and garnish with the lemon halves. Serve immediately.

July 30 - Zoot, a global provider of advanced loan origination, account acquisition and credit risk management solutions, has announced the release of a new video An Introduction to Price Optimization. The video is a short primer about price optimization and the business benefits it can bring to the loan origination process for banks.
Price optimization, also known as scientific pricing, is starting to break ground in the lending world. Its adoption is not yet widespread because it is often misunderstood. Zoot teamed up with Earnix and its banking professional services director Frank Bria to create an educational video designed to explain the basics of this emerging technology and how it can be used as a competitive advantage.
The financial benefits to banks implementing price optimization are huge. Lenders can achieve 10-20 basis points of additional profitability in their deposit and lending portfolios, says Bria. An optimization approach provides the strategic tools senior level executives need to establish a plan to set budget targets and determine the amount of growth possible given their infrastructure.
Price optimization is just one part of what this technology can accomplish. This scientific approach can also be leveraged to determine the right products and terms for each customer, said Eric Lindeen, marketing director for Zoot. Offer optimization enables banks to determine the best strategy for maximizing profitability across their entire portfolio.
The video is currently available in the companys thought leadership content library. View An Introduction to Price Optimization here. Zoot plans to release additional topics in the coming year.

Mediation gives the parties control over the outcome of their dispute.
Creative Outcomes
ADR (mediation) provides the parties an opportunity for each side to define settlement terms that are more equitable than the "all or nothing" outcomes of formal processes.
ADR processes provide participants an opportunity to make informed decisions. Parties are actively engaged in the process of resolving their dispute.
ADR neutrals adhere to the highest standards of training and professionalism.
Mediation assures confidentiality consistent with the provisions in the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act. ADR Neutrals do not discuss confidential communications, comment on the merits of the case outside the dispute resolution process, or make recommendations about the case. Agency staff or management who are not parties to the process should not ask ADR Neutrals to reveal confidential communications. Administrative Instruction No. 106 provides for confidentiality and privacy to the maximum extent allowed by law.
Trained professional third parties are impartial. They do not advocate for either the employee or for management, but rather advocate for fairness and equity. Their main role is to control the ADR process in a manner that facilitates the highest level of productive communications.
Preservation of Rights
ADR is an alternative to formal processes, not a replacement. If settlement does not occur, the right to pursue formal processes still exists.
Employees' participation in the process is voluntary. Resolution only occurs when there are good faith efforts toward lasting solutions from both sides.
Future Oriented
Parties discuss what must happen to make the situation better. They discuss their needs from the other person, but also are open-minded about changes they may need to implement personally.
All parties to a dispute in a ADR process have the right to be accompanied by a representative of their choice, in accordance with relevant collective bargaining agreements, statutes, and regulations.
The ADR has proven to be a highly effective time-saving service provider. While formal processes can take months to even years to resolve, (while parties must still work together), an informal mediation forum typically lasts only one day. Parties address their issues in a safe, controlled environment, then quickly return to a productive work atmosphere. Approximately 70% of all parties that attempt mediation in good faith achieve a mutually beneficial settlement.

Regional overview
Regional overview
Updated to Q3 2014
US styrene-butadiene-rubber (SBR) spot prices fell during the third quarter on the back of softening prices for feedstock butadiene (BD), as well as continued competition for less expensive imports from other regions.
The US market had seen an influx of imports, particularly from Asia amid oversupply, weak demand and competitive prices for natural rubber (NR), which can be used as a substitute for synthetic rubber in the production of tyres.
The US market saw a lot of imports from Europe as well, with offers being made at low prices in which domestic producers could not compete because feedstock monomer costs remained high.
Meanwhile, demand in the US market remained weak, with producers saying they were seeing a slowdown from downstream tyre makers.
While business is typically slower in July, market participants said they saw little evidence of things improving in August and September.

Excellent bike for the price.
By Willem
from Huntsville, AL
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Nashbar Argyle Single-Speed Bike:
Had my doubts, but the bike met and in some ways even exceeded my expectations. It's become my daily go-to bike for my one-hour fitness cruise (retired, no more commuting) on rolling terrain, for which the the 42x16 (70") ratio is perfect. Chainring looks a bit cheesy, but it's steel and thus will last almost forever. Coaster brake squealed on braking for the first few miles, but works perfectly now. Replaced the handlebar with a Porteur-style bar for comfort because the knuckles-up mountain bike hand position is uncomfortable for me. Unexpected bonus: this bike is extremely stable when riding no-hands. And since I have a coaster brake, I can scrub speed if I need to while using the phone or taking off a jacket. Don't recommend this, just works for me. Still getting used to the blue tires (old dude here), but my wife likes them and says "don't you dare take them off!"
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Definitely repack front and rear bearings. The bike is shipped with minimal bearing grease. Once done, no strange noises from the hubs and confidence that I will get good use out of the wheels.Also replaced the seat. A long ride convinced me to do it. That was a personal preference but I got a good seat on sale from Nashbar, so my overall cost in the bike is still low.I should be good to go for a long time.Enjoy it.

Decent for the Price
By Mark.E
from Nashville, TN
This is a decent bike for the money. I needed a single speed to knock around on.Did a bit of research, read many reviews, even lucky enough to view similar bikes in the bike racks around town and settled on this ride. Glad I did.The Fixie/Single speed purists will pooh pooh this bike. And they can after spending many bucks on their build ups.So out of the box this bike is easy to DIY assemble or take to your favorite bike mechanic. I recommend a mechanic highly.I would not DIY assemble unless you have some basic experience with bike repairs. No special tools needed. The manual is not helpful for assembly or much of anything.---I did read on an earlier review that the wheel bearings needed more grease. I took mine apart and found this to be true. The coaster brake rear wheel is funky if you have never torn into one.Once I did though, with some more bearing grease, it was much improved. Tell your assembly guy to do it for you. They might be a bit squeamish but only because most factory bikes are shipped with more than the barest minimum to get by.Enjoy this low cost good value ride.

Very, very happy!
By Old Ski Bum
from Whitefish Mt.
About Me Commuter
I love this bike. I looked at other budget single speeds and this was the best value. Its the wheel set that makes it. I did replace the stem, handlebar, seat post combo. But that was not at all needed, just fashion. I would like to suggest to buyers that they take a minute to learn to repack the grease in the coaster brake hub. Hubs are nearly always shipped with to little grease. The coaster hub needs alot more than it was shipped with. If you are unhappy with the coaster brake, repack it with grease and try again. Same with the front hub. The coaster brake hub is a little tricky, but once you got it, its easy.I like this bike so much I will likely buy another and save it for when yet another dirt bag steals yet another one of my bikes. At this price it doesn't hurt so bad.
Not great
By Philip the commuter
from Cambridge, MA
Bought it a couple of months ago, and ridden at least 7 city miles per day. Coaster brake assembly is now scraping something when I pedal. Cute blue tire also wore out fast. Replaced it with a michelin City tire from my old junked deathtrap. Too bad - my wife liked the blue one. In short, it was cheap, and I was hoping to maximize quality by minimizing complexity. Brake still works, so maybe I succeeded? So far has cost me $100/month. If it makes a year I guess I'm sort of happy. Conversely, the Mongoose it replaced lasted 18 years.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Single Speed Speedster!
By Dimebrother
from Washington, DC
About Me Casual/ Recreational
I just got back into biking around. It's been, oh, 20 years. So my rear hurts a little bit, as do my hands, from taking this bike out on the city roads. That'll go away with time.I find I can maneuver at speeds that keep me with the flow of traffic easily. Acceleration from red lights and stop signs is also very good. I think this is geared for maximum enjoyment and utility. The pedals have great traction so my shoes don't slip off at all. I also find that the riding position is quite comfortable. I'm 69" tall and got the 54cm frame. Kudos all around!The only negative thus far was the instruction manual! Don't even try reading the instructions that come with this thing. They don't appear to be for this bike. I don't know what went wrong there.

Great bike
By The Linster
from Greensboro N.C.
Perfect bike for errands and short trips.
A Very Nice Bike
By jcline
from bradenton fl
As I was ordering my spring shipment of tires and tubes I kept on looking at this bike. I looked so clean and simple. Perfect for my commuting needs. It was easy to put together. If you have basic knownledge and tools. The is no water bosses or rack mounts. I took an old fashioned water cage and attachted it with hose clamps. It also does not have a kickstand. That is one reason why it is light. Taped the top bar with electricle tape as if you live without a kickstand you can lean it against things without worrying about scratches. Also taped part of the downtube so the cable lock will not scratch the frame. It also adds a low profile look to the bike. Taking away that shiny new look. As I have to leave it parked outside of my work for up to twelve hours a day. I leave a u lock at work to lock it up there. Only have a cable on the bike to park it if I have to stop along the way. The rims are true and still are. The stock tires handle pavement, grass and some mud. Getting used to the coaster brake was not that hard. You just have to leave yourself in a position to brake. Left or right. The brake is not that powerful. So you have to leave yourself some room. At this juncture this is the funnist bike in my stable. The gear ratio is also good. However if you have a headwind you cannot bail out to a lower gear. Just stand up like you used to as a kid.
Simply awesome
By Mexikid214
from Dallas, TX
Sure, I have a great road bike, but I needed something casual for errands and such. The bike was easy to put together...which is good, because the instructions are really no help. I find that it's is solidly built, looks great and you can't beat the price (I got it on sale!). I really haven't gone more than 10 miles on this thing at one time. Most trips are around 3 miles. It's always comfortable and does the job. Love this bike and so glad I found it here.
By BikeNut
from Phoenix,AZ
After my main bike got stolen, I wanted something inexpensive,light,and low maintenance. Nashbar came through again. The Argyle single speed is just what I wanted. Light enough and low maintenance. The paint job is great. The only changes I made was to add a suspension seat post and an adjustable stem. I love it.
There was a problem adding this item to your cart.

"The only recommendation I have is that the website nor the packaging states how many spikes in a box. I bought 2 boxes as have 2 sons and eas expecting 1 box to have enough spikes for each pair of shoes - not so was two short which meant I could only change one pair of shoes."

Creating a Locus for Extreme Learning: The Case of Learning Design Solutions PROCEEDINGS
Ana-Paula Correia, IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY, United States
Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education International Conference, in Austin, Texas, USA ISBN 978-1-880094-92-1 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Chesapeake, VA
: Learning Design Solutions is a service center that provides alternative educational technology consulting services inside and outside Iowa State University. The idea for an organization like this stemmed from a firm belief that learning "is not the special province of a single specialized real of human functioning such as cognition or perception. It involves the integrated functioning of the total organism – thinking, feeling, perceiving, and behaving." (Kolb, 1984, p. 31). This paper describes the process of creating and maintaining this locus for nontraditional and extreme forms of learning and shares lessons learned from its daily operations.
