Review of chapter "Shared" from
Wow, creepy Walter. I tend not to think about what he was like when he was still whole-brained. Even though he did chase off Olivia's stepfather, he only did so because Elizabeth pointed out how wrong it was that they let that continue even if they were getting results. I think he might've let her be abused, if his wife hadn't convinced him, and that makes me not like Walter. So I shy away from that.
If Astrid was in the trials, then eventually she'd be like Olivia and Nick. Her wardrobe would be blacks and greys and muted colours. Can you imagine that? I mean here she's still Astrid. Tryin to make people happy. But Walter and Bell programmed them to blend in with the crowd and to train themselves. It would make me sad to see Astrid like that.
In your comment you said that you 'read' that Nina drugs Olivia. If you haven't seen the episode, what happens is that, at night (but we don't know how many times a week), Nina shows up at Olivia's front door with a bunch of men in black gear. They pump gas underneath the door and it knocks Olivia unconscious. They then enter the apartment. One guy, who seems like a scientist type, injects her with something. He says: She won't remember the last two hours. She's gonna have one hell of a headache. Nina stands by the door the whole time.
I think they're injecting her with cortexiphan. Especially since we learned that Nina is working with David Robert Jones, and in season 1, Jones was very eager that Olivia use her powers. Though what they want to do with her I don't know.
Maybe Astrid visits her dad a lot, and she and her dad have a fixed day in the week where Astrid shows up at the house to eat dinner? I don't know, but remember the ep where the Observers test Walter to see if he's willing to let Peter go? The rockstar's son died because Peter caught a firefly. Who knows what other stuff he changed.
Oh, I miss Charlie too. They need a guy on the blue side that doesn't have any romantic feelings for any of his co-workers. Considering they haven't actually spelled it out that Charlie died in the Amber verse, I'm going to assume he's off FBI-ing somewhere. Maybe he just never joined Fringe, or he never moved to Boston?
I don't mind over analyzing things. I love discussing Fringe. Unfortunately, I usually have to reign myself in, because none of my friends know what the hell it is, and my family thinks it's alright, but they'd get bored discussing it. So I do not mind.
Okay, this review is getting a bit long. I wonder if TTH has a word limit on reviews? Anyway, great chapter. Interesting AU.
Comments from author:
Yeah, my favorite Walter is the half-crazy yet endearing and loving one from the Peter-timeline. Pre-having bits of his brain removed there were just too many things he was capable of an not enough checks to keep him back.
And I know what you mean, it might just seem like a small outward thing but it's hard to think of Astrid without her rich colors (burgundy, purple - even Alt!Astrid had red highlights in her hair) that contrast so much with Olivia's blacks and greys (and even Walter and Peter seem to tend to stay towards neutral colors).
I actually tried to have her on the edge of that sort of blending behavior in this fic. I don't know if it showed but I tried to have Astrid internally fighting with hiding her new-found abilities from both her father and authority figures. It wasn't natural to her (she wants to tell her father) but it was something she felt she had to do.
With my "read" comment about Nina drugging Olivia, that was just a bit of miscommunication. I have watched the episode, I just meant that as I see it, although I'm in no way sure since this show likes it's twists *laughs*, that's what I thought was happening. Your theory of cortexiphan injection works too and was something I hadn't really thought of since my brain had settled on suppression - mainly because this timeline's Olivia was so in the dark about her ability when Peter casually mentioned it (or possible ability - you never know, this Olivia might have gotten an entirely different power from the cotrexiphan trials) and with suppression Nina could later, when Olivia eventually finds out, try to spin it as protecting her.
*sigh* The Astrid living situation is becoming impossibly complicated in my head but it's not going leaving me alone so I know it's going to end up a chapter. I'm glad you brought up the rock-star's son though, I feel more in-canon pulling loads of random butterfly-effect type things that the lack of Peter in this world has changed to inadvertently effect Astrid.
I'd prefer to think of Charlie as still alive and still off somewhere. Maybe a bit after he helped Olivia over John's death (because I adored those scenes with them together, where he was just so there and so normal for her and it kinda makes me sad to think of Olivia not having that support) he was transferred for some reason? That way he wouldn't have been around long enough for the whole shapeshifter bit. *sigh* I suppose you can imagine the world however you like and until cannon dashes those hopes it's nice to think Charlie got to live his life and maybe he called Olivia on the phone once in a while to check up on here because she would never be the one to call. *laughs*
At least over in alt-world he's still kicking (even in this timeline) they made a random comment that he's off on vacation with bug-Lady.
And since this posted I suppose I haven't hit the word limit yet! *giggles* Thanks so much for the review and I'm glad you love discussing Fringe - feel no need to reign yourself in. As you can see from how long this is, I don't seem to be able to. *laughs*

Review of chapter "Little Things" from
Oh my god, I love this one so much! It makes me miss the team even more than I already do, but it was just so nicely written. And I pretty much agree with everything there. (is the Olivia/Nina relationship freaking you out too? Those two should just never be that close in my opinion)
Season 4 has made me get the urge to watch the first three seasons so many times, it's ridiculous. I can't wait for Peter to be back, but I feel it's gonna take a while yet.
Meanwhile, yay for Astrid and Lincoln for keeping him sane.
Comments from author:
Oh dear, the Olivia-Nina thing is just crazy especially since Nina is the shadowy figure orchestrating things in this timeline - including, if I'm reading things right, repeatedly drugging Olivia in able to suppress her abilities. The reason I didn't go into it in the actual fic was because Peter really hasn't had exposure to their changed relationship (especially not to the degree that he would be able to truly talk about and the weirdness that has been going on there.)
And all this Lincoln has gone a long way to make me miss Charlie too. I really wished that somehow that had twisted as well, and a non-Peter world somehow had Charlie.
I have to admit one huge bit of confusion for me came in this latest episode (which of course I was happy had a large Astrid part) but when she went home at the end she went to a house that she seems to share with her Dad. Am I correct in remembering that in Peter's universe Astrid has an apartment? I remember Walter going there to talk to her after he got ownership share of Massive Dynamic. And the thing is, she didn't just seem to be visiting her Fathers' house, he seemed to be expecting her and I got the real impression that she came home there and lived there too. Which for me brings about the question, how did the lack of Peter change Astrid's world to the point where her living arrangements are different?
Bah. I'll probably over-analyze this (as if I haven't already *snort*) and figure out a round-about reason and end up writing a bit on it. That usually ends up being my way when I'm bothered by and inconsequential detail. *laughs*
Oh wow, I totally just kept typing and typing about that. I really do apologize. It's a bit random but it really does oddly bother me. *laughs*
Thanks again for reviewing, Mayrose.

Review of chapter "Academic" from
I've always liked the relationship between Walter and Astrid. (Especially when she gets annoyed with him).
Nice chapter.
Comments from author:
Their interaction is this very warm and human part that grounds the craziness of the show for me. Not that I don't adore the craziness - just that each of the characters seem to have a sort of friction or baggage with each other, but not with Astrid. She acts as a bizarre neutral ground.
Oh, and I do like when she gets affronted by him as well. That and I also really enjoy those rare times when she is in her element and takes the lead in the lab - I'm particularly thinking of when she broke the code in that number ciphering ep and Walter was the one trailing behind her and helping her out.
Thanks, for continuing to review Mayrose.

Review of chapter "Nothing" from
I cannot believe you did that! Poor, poor Astrid. Out of everyone she does the least damage to the world and yet she's the one who dies. This was almost as painful as the moment I realised that 'OGM, they killed Charlie!'. Also, pretty aggressive for the Observers. Don't think they've ever killed someone before (does making someone cease to exist count as killing them?).
Wonderfully written, but it made me sad. (comparing Kim Possible to Fringe was hilarious though. Gene as Rufus, lol)
Yeah, I considered that girl August saved, but they handled that with an assassin. Peter disappeared after he'd used the machine. They never seem to directly do the deed themselves. They seem to let things play out. Also that girl was a target because one of their own changed things, and it needed to be rectified.
But it doesn't bother me to read about September(?) killing someone. Things would probably have to be really drastic. (and I think two universes crumbling because of his actions would count as pretty drastic)
Comments from author:
I rather thought of it as a possibility of something the Observers might have saw necessary for restoring the balance - which is all important to them. Astrid has subtle but rather deep effects on many of the characters and if taking her out might be the catalyst to push everyone else to figure things out or push forward....I don't know, they might do that. Like you said, they did make Peter cease to exisit for a while and, in a way, that is much worse than death. There was also when they wanted to get rid of that girl August felt for because he kept saving her, she wasn't important, and it was upsetting the balance. So, I don't think they shy away from killing - and on a side note, isn't it odd they had connections to assassins right on hand? Huh.
Either way, it was in my head and interesting to write. I hope it didn't seem too far out of character.
As for the Kim Possible one - well, I had that one my computer for a while and was really debating actually posting it because I thought it was way too silly. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks so much for reviewing!
I'm glad - and I think the Observers started to feel pretty open to doing drastic things leading up to making Peter disappear. (Not being argumentative here, my mind just keeps stumbling over things the more I think about it. :) ) I'm particularly thinking about when they were testing Walter to see if he would be willing to let Peter go this time. They set up that entire situation that, if it went another way - the way one Observer seemed to think it might go if I remember that ep correctly, a random lady would have died of an asthma attack.
I think a large part of the decision for me of making it so direct was that so much of the drabble was already about Astrid not having done anything wrong - how her death wasn't the cause of something she ever did but because of how it might effect others. There is something very cold in that and I felt just having it be some random assassin and not an Observer would make it almost -too- impersonal.
In my head, it was almost a show of honor towards her and the importance she truly had to kill her personally instead of just sending someone. (That's also why I had him take his hat off.) I know these little things don't really compute in what I write - but hey, I'm kinda weird. *laughs*
Thanks though, for humoring me with discussing this a bit. I always enjoy talking about Fringe - Oh! Also, on that note. Forgot to say earlier. The 'OMG, they killed Charle!' moment - oooh. Hits you just as hard the second time you watch it. I loved Charlie's character (both Charlies).....I haven't written anything with him yet have I? I'll have to get on that. :)

Review of chapter "Communication" from
Wow. I don't normally read drabbles, so I don't think I've ever read your work before. I just happened to see your recent story, Golden, in the latest updates the other day and clicked on it because there aren't a lot of stories out yet with the Walking Dead (which I like a lot). I was impressed enough with it to check out what else you'd written, and this story has quite simply made my jaw drop. I like your Warehouse 13 story on Leena, as well, but it doesn't quite have the same connection, the same depth of texture that this one does. Maybe it's the way you managed to capture the two different Astrid's so very well. Maybe it's the little Buffy crossover thrown in that adds dimension to the character. More likely it's the combination of a thousand ineffable tiny things that make up a real person that you've filled in so well for this character from a show that already does characterization in an amazing way.
And that is why I am taking the time to review. I read too voraciously (but, being autistic, write too laboriously) to review everything I read. I only review the spectacular, the breathtaking, the hilarious...sometimes just something that truly brightened my day...but when the truly deserving shows up, I have to acknowledge it.
That you could take a character from a show that already *has* such depth of character built-in, a show that manages to show not just two alternate-universe versions of the same people, and portrays the differences in such amazing clarity, using the build up of many tiny things to show clear differences, to the point that even when Alternate-Olivia was pretending to be Olivia, and when Olivia was brainwashed to think she was Alternate-Olivia, you could clearly see all the distinguishing points in character that each of those acting-in-acting-in-acting roles require...a show that already sets such an impossibly high bar for characterization, and you took that character and created even more depth for her (them, in fact, since you've written Alternate-Astrid) and have such crystal clear characterization that I can -hear- the lines being delivered by the actress? I am amazed and in awe, and could not fail to give a review.
I don't know that I've ever given a story a rating of 10 before, either. Maybe once or twice, for a grand epic perhaps. But I could not with any integrity rate this one less.
I may not read everything you write (I have no interest in Fred/Illyria, for instance), but I will be setting author tracking on you, so that I at least get a notification of any new tidbits that sparkle out of your brain. Thank you.
Comments from author:
Thank you so much for your lovely words. I just, barely know what to say. I will try though...
Fringe has been one of those rare shows for me that I not just like but adore. I've not only watched but I've re-watched Season 3 a total of 3 times now (I've seen the entire run twice). I can't even say that about Buffy or Angel. The characters are all so layered, intricate, and - well, just plain interesting. To have that couched in an almost problem/monster of the week detective show has just mixed so many things I love. And there were so many of these little performances within episodes that just hit you. 'Marionette' is still one of the most painful things I've seen on television, and I'm talking about Olivia not the girl in that ep.
The only thing I really found lacking was how little Astrid was on screen, how little we knew about her in general compared to the others. (That might actually be some of the disconnect with the Warehouse 13 fic. I am fascinated by the character Leena and curious about her background. But I don't feel the connection or the pull towards her in addition to that, that I do with Astrid. I find Astrid's voice comes to me a lot easier when I write.)
And I will not try to push any of my other stuff onto you, I know how it is to simply have little interest in certain characters...and here's my but (and that sounds much dirtier than I meant it). The 'Fred Sola Lovegood' series that I wrote, despite it's name, is much more me playing around with the entire world than just a story dealing with a single character. I wrote it in a very similar manner as the Walking Dead cross - as in, interconnected drabbles telling an overarching story, not as in zombies. *laugh* That's the only reason why I'm even mentioning it, because you said you enjoyed the other one. So, if you like HP fics don't let the Fred/Illyria label scare you away.
And that is more than enough plugging of my own work. Felt a bit uncomfortable even doing that, to be honest. I would like to thank you yet again for taking the time to write such a kind review and for the rating you felt I merited. It truly makes me blush.

Fringe with Stargate, love it! I also like that you paired Astrid with Daniel (if only for this drabble). I've never thought about them together, but now that I read this, they would actually kind of make a perfect couple. Still loving these ficlets.
Comments from author:
As you can tell by my participation with this site, I am overly fond of crossovers. So, I had to let Astrid have a bit of fun in the SG1 universe. :)
And I am glad that you are still loving my little ficlets; thank you for continuing to comment.

Now in my head it's all Sunday morning kid's cartoons: Dun dun dun dunnnnn...Astro to the rescue!! With Astrid having a crime fighting, rubber suit wearing, electricity wielding alter-ego. Who, of course, has a trusty sidekick - Gene the telekinetic cow. *laughs*

Review of chapter "Super" from
This fic is really nicely written. Don't understand why this doesn't have more reviews. I agree that Astrid should get more love, not just from fanfic writers but from the actual writers themselves. We know practically nothing about her. Wouldn't you just love to see Blue!Astrid meet Red!Astrid and the reaction from the red team about how open Blue!Astrid must seem to them?
If Blue!Astrid was called, does that mean that Red!Astrid might be as well? Does magic exist on the other side? Could we get a glimpse of Red!Buffy and co.?
Can't wait to see more of this. And I hope that they resolve that super power issue. XD
Comments from author:
Well, thank you - I literally jumped a bit when I saw I had a review for this it was so unexpected. *laughs*
In the actual show itself, I feel that they underuse the character way too much. They only use her in storylines as the support, in some capacity, for one of the main characters. I mean, I love that about Astrid - that she is scarily competent and the emotionally go-to for everyone at this point but by Season 4 I think the girl deserves some on-air fleshing out.
Going back to your comments, I have a future drabble planned for Astrid & Alt!Astrid (or Blue!Astrid & Red!Astrid as you refer to them) - although I would love to see that actually on the show like you said. Or at least to have something said by the members of Fringe Team from the Red World to acknowledge the differences.
I hadn't even considered the idea of Red!Astrid being a Slayer but now I'm finding it incredibly intriguing.....So much for all of these bits being unconnected *laughs* I seem to be incapable of leaving premises alone.
Thanks again for the comment and I'm sorry if I way over explained things in my response - when I start typing it gets away from me at times. :)

Making Chrome more accessible with extensions
Wednesday, June 30, 2010
Labels: accessibility, extensions
Personalizing the web to match the needs and abilities of users is a big part of improving overall web accessibility. While we continue to work hard on making core Google Chrome more accessible, we're really excited about using browser extensions to improve the accessibility of the web for millions of users.
There are already some extensions among the more than 5,000 in the gallery that can benefit users with special needs. Some of these extensions use Chrome APIs and content scripts to alter the browser and manipulate the DOM of pages, offering users almost unlimited flexibility for viewing the web. Other extensions choose to implement altenative workflows, instead of adapting existing web page UIs, to give users faster access to content. These extensions benefit not just users of assistive technologies like screen readers but everyone who prefers access modes like keyboard shortcuts and captions.
If you are interested in making your extensions more accessible, we've created a new Accessibility implementation guide in the Chrome Extensions Developer's Guide that gives you an overview of accessibility best practices such as keyboard navigation, color contrast and text magnification. We've also open sourced the code behind ChromeVis, a new extension for users with low vision, so that you can use some of its code for manipulating text selection and magnification in your own extensions.
Already the NPR team has implemented some accessibility best practices in their extension. We hope to see more extensions adopting them. From our end, we're sponsoring a Summer of Code project to produce an extension that helps users produce custom style sheets and plan to create additional extensions that make navigating the web through Chrome easier.
We've also set up a Google Moderator topic where everyone can submit ideas for extensions that improve web accessibility. We hope these ideas will inspire extensions developers who are looking to create something useful for the community.
Stay tuned for future updates about Chrome Extensions and accessibility!

Designer Secrets for Small Spaces
From forgoing the coffee table to putting a sink outside the bathroom, here are 10 clever decorating ideas and tips for how to decorate a small space.
Choose a Light Palette
For his 1,450-square-foot California cottage, designer Stephen Shubel created the feeling of more space by selecting a warm "French vanilla" color scheme. The walls and ceilings were originally dark redwood, and the floors were oak. "The first thing I did was paint everything white to open it up and make it feel better," he says. Interior columns create the effect of an enfilade toward the balcony, glimpsed between curtains.

Location is excellent. There was some refurbishment works going on but didn't cause any disruption. I thought £14 for breakfast was very overpriced, especially if you are like myself and only want a bowl of cereal and a cup of tea in the morning. Needless to say I didn't opt for the breakfast. Room was clean, nicely decorated and basic reminded me a little of a [another hotel] which you only pay half the price for across the road.

Rebranding the Marlins
In 2011, the Florida Marlins were the last ranked National League team in terms of both total attendance (1.52 million) and stadium capacity filled (48.8%). Sun Life Stadium, the home of the Marlins for the past 19 years, was located in Miami Gardens, a suburb of Miami with a population of just over 100,000 and had difficulty attracting fans. This year, however, the Marlins have a brand new stadium, some high profile free-agent signings and a focused rebranding strategy that could start to…Read More
StubHub Impacts Athletic Departments Strategies
Watching the Oregon Ducks throttle the then-undefeated Stanford Cardinal live at Stanford stadium on Nov. 12th was something I would never have experienced without the secondary ticket market. I bought a ticket for $125 five days before gameday on StubHub from a Stanford season ticket holder. I had it overnighted, only to realize that it had a $10 face value. Nevertheless, I was thrilled with my "steal", as other tickets in that section were going for…Read More
The Slowing Pace of Golf
One of the largest problems facing both amateur and professional golf today is the brutally slow pace at which it is played. As the PGA Tour kicked off its 2012 season with the Sony Open at the Waialae Country Club in Honolulu this past week, the pros returned to their incessant habits of drawn out pre-shot routines and endless practice strokes. Rounds that used to take just three hours to complete are now creeping ever closer to five hours. In a word: ridiculous. Even the pros themselves agree. On January 9th, world #1 ranked golfer Luke Donald tweeted…Read More

NBA losing more ground?
According to a recent article on Yahoo Sports, the NBA has lost its spot as the third most-attended pro-sports league in the United States.
"While the National Basketball Association players and owners continue to bicker and bellyache about divvying up the cash pie, other sports leagues pass them by."
This might come as a bit of a shock to most people who believe that basketball is the third, if not second, most popular sport in the country. However, with the lockout dragging on and no…Read More
Is the NBA lockout a blessing for its global brand?
The NBA lockout has gone on for months now, and while sources close to the negotiations say that negotiations are "95% there," each day passes with both sides at a standstill. The lockout is devastating to the NBA from a business perspective. Without actual games, millions of dollars of revenue are lost. In contrast, from a global marketing standpoint, the lockout could actually be a blessing in disguise. With NBA players out of work, many have sought refuge in international leagues in Europe and China. Others,…Read More

Green Show Survey
Show organizers reveal how sustainability factors into their event production.
Sustainability was all the rage a few years ago, yet with the recession and its impact on the event industry, it appeared as if sustainability took a back seat to mere survival.
As it turns out, that's not entirely true. There are events—and venues and service contractors—out there that have green initiatives well underway, and according to the first exclusive Green Show Survey from FOLIO: sister magazine EXPO, organizers in general may not be wildly enthusiastic about sustainability, but they're getting the basics done for the time being.
Is Sustainability a Priority?
In charts 1 through 3, we asked organizers to indicate the level of concern attendees, exhibitors and organizers themselves have about pursuing sustainable initiatives at events. It appears that, for all three groups, it's moderate.
However, a full 30 percent of show organizers indicated that sustainability is "very important," a much larger segment than what they think attendees and exhibitors feel about the subject.
Interestingly, organizers say exhibitors are the group that perhaps needs the most convincing. This fact is not surprising given the amount of printed collateral that is commonly discarded at shows. IMEX Frankfurt reported 23 percent of the 167 tons of waste produced at its 2009 event was brochures left behind by exhibitors.
What's Getting Done
All of this is not to say that show organizers are not pursuing any sustainable practices. Most are tackling the bigger, higher-impact initiatives. Fully 93 percent of respondents are making sure there's recycling at their events. Almost three-quarters say they're working on reducing waste, and printed materials and bags and inserts are close behind at 57 and 61 percent respectively. The top two responses require the organizer to work closely with venues and service contractors while bags and printed materials are solely the responsibility of the organizer.
Attendee education factored in fairly high in the list with 41 percent of respondents checking that option. Food and beverage receives the same attention, and then we drop off precipitously with transportation, lighting, carbon offsets, exhibit materials and carpeting. Transportation is a difficult one for show organizers to oversee. It's often dependent on a city's transportation system, and when you factor air travel, that can cancel out much of the progress made in other areas.
Show organizers don't tend to value a fully certified LEED venue. However, the formality of certification may take a back seat to actual practice. Recycling (92 percent), energy efficient lighting (65 percent), and food donation (60 percent) all factor high on the list of important green venue practices.
Almost all (94 percent) of the respondents are spending anywhere from zero to $40,000 on sustainability. The majority, 59 percent, are at the lowest cost category—zero to $10,000. What's surprising, given the theory that the more waste that's recycled or diverted from landfills, the less tonnage is added to carting costs, is the scattershot ROI. Sixty-nine percent of respondents indicate they're only recouping zero to 10 percent of what they spend on sustainability. However, this could also be a reflection of the volume of material that's being diverted. For example, show organizers that are only able to divert a small amount of waste will see a corresponding return. A decent portion do a bit better at 10 to 20 percent ROI, while 7 percent report a greater-than 50 percent return.
Organizers are not as analytically-oriented as they should be. All of the sustainable practices offered by venues and contractors are already measured and can be easily accessed by the show organizer. Yet, two-thirds of respondents are hardly measuring their own efforts, according to chart 11. Not surprisingly then, audits and carbon measurement are not supported by the vast majority of respondents.

Jim Harris: Pippen Was Like Nothing Seen at UCA, Before or Since
by Jim Harris
Posted 1/20/2010 04:12 pm
Everyone's image of Scottie Pippen is most likely formed from his days as Michael Jordan's sidekick on the Chicago Bulls. They hugged six NBA championship trophies together over an eight-year period with teammates dousing them in champagne. They shared spots on the list of NBA's top 50 players of all time, Jordan at the top of that in most everyone's eyes.
We still remember the first night we saw Scottie Pippen. He was seven inches shorter than the 6-foot-7 he'd eventually reach late in college. He was barely pushing 6-feet alongside another player about his same size, Ronnie Martin. They were the starting backcourt at Hamburg.
We were in Pine Bluff at the time, and when Hamburg's basketball games were reported to our staff by phone, we kept seeing the names Martin and Pippen and about 15 to 20 points between them for the Lions, who usually won under then coach Donald Wayne. So, we decided to check out this supposedly hot-shooting guard tandem one night about a quarter-century ago in Dollarway's little crackerbox of the gymnasium.
The memory of the game itself has faded, and maybe Dollarway actually won the game. But it was quite the shooting show by Martin and Pippen. We were a lot younger then, too, and maybe their shooting was no more extraordinary than what we saw from the likes of Joe Johnson and Jarrett Hart years later at Little Rock Central. But we seem to recall 20-foot jump shots being nailed in routine fashion. And, at this time, they were still only worth 2 points each.
Both players looked like they could compete on the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference level that night.
Martin would immediately get that chance. Pippen, it turned out, was invited to be a manager at Central Arkansas.
We wouldn't see Pippen again until the 1986-87 season, when he was filled out as an adult and was towering at 6-feet-7. He was amazingly lithe compared with his peers and already the buzz was everywhere that Central Arkansas had a player considered good enough to play in the NBA. Marty Blake, one of the top talent scouts, was already extremely high on Pippen from seeing him the season before. A coach on the NCAA Division I level in state tried to convince Pippen to transfer and sit out a season, but he didn't have to waste that time with the NBA already noticing him.
That winter, we caught a Pippen and UCA appearance at UAPB's then new gymnasium. And, although UAPB had some decent players, Pippen lived up to the description of "man among boys." He drove through them like they couldn't move, he jumped over them to deliver a crowd-pleasing thunder-dunk. He hit from outside or scored at will from inside. He had this way of gliding even on defense to steal passes and hurry the ball upcourt.
Pippen made UAPB look like the Washington Generals, who were the hapless nightly fodder for the Harlem Globetrotters back then, while he would have been the supreme Globetrotter. Had he needed to try Geese Ausbie's half-court shot, surely he would have hit it.
Which brings us to this segue: those forever touring Globetrotters are in North Little Rock on Wednesday night for their annual Verizon Arena appearance at 7 p.m.
Meanwhile, at UCA's Farris Center, the Bears will retire Pippen's jersey.
It begged the question from Chris Bahn and other writers when the event was announced recently: What took them so long?
Not everybody deserves their jersey or number retired, but it the annals of UCA athletics certainly that honor has been long-overdue for an NBA great and Olympic gold-medal winner like Pippen.
We say all this to note that because of the scheduling conflict - the Globetrotters here and Pippen there - we won't be able to see his well-deserved moment in Conway. Pippen is scheduled to speak to the media after the halftime ceremony.
Meanwhile, we're taking our youngster to the Globetrotters. He'll see their magic and enjoy the fun, and we'll only wish he could have seen Pippen play, either in college or in the NBA. He probably won't believe how we'd describe it.
But it was one high-flying show when Pippen was a UCA Bear, when he'd grown from a 6-footer to 6-7 with a guard's quickness and athleticism, and Chicago enjoyed unimaginable basketball glory for nearly a decade when he joined Michael Jordan's party in the Windy City.

Search for missing Anaconda woman continues

Anaconda Police Chief Tim Barkell tells NBC Montana that a bloody shower curtain found at the landfill in Butte is not connected to the missing Anaconda woman Tammy Salle.
Investigators with Anaconda and Butte Silver Bow have been sifting through trash at the landfill hoping to turn up any new clues in Salle's disappearance.
Salle went missing just before Christmas and her boyfriend turned up dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound about a week later.
The shower curtain discovered with blood on it was sent to the state crime lab for testing.
According to Chief Barkell the blood wasn't Tammy Salle's; results proved the blood to be that of an animal's of some kind.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Good way to work off the excesses of Xmas & New Year!In full: Apart from the distance markings, which didn't worry me as I use my Garmin, there were no real problems apart from getting a very muddy vehicle on the exit road :)Date of review: January 3, 2012
In short: My 4th time, so something must be right!In full: Let's get the moans out of the way first, 1/Too expensive,2/ need more marshalls, particularly for safety in the Turbo zone. 3/ Race was a little shorter than previous years, so even though I knocked 10 mins of my pb it was a bit meaningless. Otherwise, loved every minute of it, great atmosphere amongst the runners and most came over the line with a big smile on there face. Date of review: November 22, 2011
In short: Friendly eventIn full: Good conditions, cool and breezy. Friendly support. Considering number of sponsors, goody bag was very mean.Date of review: May 8, 2011
Date of review: September 21, 2010
In short: Good funIn full: Not a race to take too seriously, even if most of the entrants are club runners. 10.66k of hills, mud and some tricky single track - Great!Very friendly marshallsDate of review: August 19, 2010
In short: Thank goodness for the nice cool breeze along the seawall!Date of review: May 10, 2010
In short: Has anyone mentioned the mud?In full: My 4th time and enjoyed it just as much as ever despite being very unfit at present and recording my slowest time yet. Once again the marshals were brilliant, how do they stay so cheerful in that cold wind? Much tougher than the Turbo X and so much better value.Date of review: February 28, 2010
In short: A good chance to work off the seasonal excessesIn full: I do this event every year and I think the organisation is slowly improving. I would reiterate the comments about the finish being congested, it can't take that long to write down numbers! The marshals did their job whilst being generally uninterested. Something I have noticed before with Rotarians - come on SMILE folks! I have only ever been to one event where the loos were adequate, it's no good complaining, it is totally un viable to provide enough for about 10 minutes use! That's why I take my own porta potti - invaluable! Date of review: January 3, 2010
In short: I think its all been said! Really good fun!Date of review: November 23, 2009
In short: Forget the run, just look at the sceneryIn full: The hills don't get any easier, but could actually see the views this year. Will be backDate of review: October 30, 2009

Although her star may have faded in recent years, the singer knows her Internets, and in understanding that today's unofficial rule states that if you can't beat 'em, upload 'em, Shanice has taken to Facebook, Twitter, and -- to our delight -- YouTube, where, much like the rest of the community, she posts low-budg videos of herself bustin' out some sweet jams.
Shanice, we still love your smile. A lot (seriously, did she get younger?!). LUV U, GIRL!

Park Bathrooms
Along with the rims of toilets and feminine-hygiene disposal units, other germ-hot areas in park restrooms may include:
· Partition doors and handles
· Bathroom sinks, especially inside the bowl
· Fixture handles on faucets, toilets and urinals
· Paper-towel dispenser levers
· Door handles
· Light switches
Addressing The Problem
With the location of the germ-hot spots clarified, park managers have two courses of action:
1. Emphasize cleaning where cleaning is most needed.
2. Find more ways to minimize the number of restroom surfaces that require touching, either by users or cleaning professionals.
As the name implies, no-touch cleaning systems–also known as high-flow fluid-extraction systems–help make this possible. They work well in park facilities, and have proven to be effective at removing soils and contaminants from surfaces. A machine applies cleaning solution to surfaces where it is allowed to "dwell." After a few minutes the same areas are rinsed, which loosens the soils and contaminants, sending them down drains. Or a machine's wet/vac capabilities are used to thoroughly remove the contaminants from the restroom.
Additionally, a new generation of microfiber cleaning cloths may be used, often referred to as the "smart towel" system. Recent studies have found that soiled cloths (microfiber or conventional) can actually spread as many contaminants as they remove. But because the smart-towel system can be folded into eight marked quadrants, it allows cleaning professionals to use a fresh area of the towel for each use, helping to prevent the spread of infection.
"Further, managers can continue to find ways to reduce the number of surfaces that must be touched in a restroom," adds Calvert. "For instance, because it can be so highly contaminated, turning to touchless feminine-hygiene disposal units and companies that service these on regular intervals is a significant step in making restrooms healthier and safer for users and cleaning professionals."
* An important exception to the stated longevity of germs and bacteria outside the body is MRSA, or methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that the bacteria that causes MRSA can live for several hours, and sometimes even days, on surfaces, depending on humidity, temperature, the amount of bacteria present and the type of surface. This is especially true if the surface is porous. However, toilet seats do not typically have a porous surface.

Most Common Bacteria In Public Restrooms
According to one study, the five most-common bacteria found in public restrooms and the illnesses they can cause are:
· Pseudomonadaceae (urinary tract infection, blood poisoning)
· Streptococcaceae (sore throat, bronchopneumonia)
· Coryneforn (diphtheria, hepatitis)
· Micrococcaceae (boils/pimples, pustular infections)
· Enterobacteriaceae (kidney infections, typhoid/paratyphoid fever)

Pregnant Fla. woman charged in adoption scam
A central Florida woman is facing grand theft charges after authorities say she fleeced several adoption agencies.
Marion County sheriff's detectives said 33-year-old Deana Marie Day made an agreement through a South Florida law firm to give her child up for adoption. One firm allegedly paid her more than $6,000 in living expenses.
But authorities said while Day was collecting money from that firm, she was also receiving money from other firms for the same services. The child is scheduled to be born later this month.
Day was charged with adoption fraud and grand theft.
The Ocala Star Banner reports Day was released on $4,000 bond Friday night.

Nursing education is about immersion—jumping into the clinical environment head first, ready to get messy. Of course, it's interspersed with APA papers, seminars, evidence-based projects, and care plans. But students learn by watching, practicing, and emulating what they see senior nurses and faculty do in real life. Students don't learn by critical thinking alone, but by repeating skills at the bedside.
Today's nursing students are voracious learners, but sometimes their clinical exposure is limited. This gap in hands on experience may be due to poor program design or just an absence of clear, focused clinical opportunities. To combat some deficiencies in hands on training, I have come up with some straightforward, no-nonsense, and candid practice hints to guide student nurses. Students can try these tips independently or in collaboration with their peers. The aim is to improve skills and productivity while synchronizing what is learned in labs and lectures.
You'll have a pressure ulcer to contend with if you don't get your patient's heels off the mattress! Bed-bound patients frequently develop ulcers on the least assessed area of the body, the heels. Let the heels hang freely; use a pillow and other soft materials to prop them up.
You could save yourself, not to mention your patients, a lot of IV re-insertions if you anchor IV sites with a generous helping of tape—without compromising the skin. Labeling and dating IVs make changing the lines in a timely fashion much easier too.
According to a report reviewing the relationship between skin hygiene and infection, bacterial counts are at least as high or higher after bathing or showering with a regular soap than before.1 Imagine what happens when washing a patient with just one basin of water! Does this mean you should skip bed baths? No. But you should change the bath water and your gloves often. You can also prevent bacterial gestation by storing dry basins upside down and making sure there are no collections of water lying around the bedside .2
Nurses inevitably deal with incontinent patients, and with incontinence comes unfortunate messes. Luckily, you can protect sensitive areas, and keep bowel incontinence from sticking to patients' skin, with Vaseline or Vitamin A&D ointment. No prescription needed, and they're inexpensive.
In the appropriate context, humor can be the balm that soothes a patient's pain, in mind and maybe even body. I recall a time when a patient asked for meds for a headache, but he couldn't take acetaminophen due to liver issues, and ibuprofen upset his stomach. He was NPO and IV painkillers would be overkill. I said, "How about if I just put a cool washcloth on your forehead, hold your hand, and sing you a song?" He laughed—always a good sign.
One day I admitted a patient to a two-bed room. While wheeling her in, I asked with the self-assured demeanor of a senior flight attendant, "Would you like a window or an aisle seat?" She laughed and said, "I suppose no smoking in the lavatories?" A fine rapport was soon established between us.
Gloves, like shoes, work better when you are wearing the correct size. To prevent accidents, use only proper-fitting gloves. Get some boxes in your size and put them in your patients' rooms at the beginning of your shift. Keep in mind that some synthetic materials break easily, so change your gloves often when bathing patients, during general clean up, and doing other "high-tear" work.
Ask any veteran nurse how he or she gets through a seemingly insurmountable pile of work and most will credit the support of a helpful staff. Be generous with your time and talent. Help busy co-workers when you can, and be humble enough to accept assistance when you need it too.
Have you ever considered what goes to waste when nurses and other health care professionals hoard supplies at patients' bedsides? When patients leave, housekeepers discard many of the supplies left in their rooms, often still clean and re-usable. Try to take only what you need and return unused supplies. Plus, a de-cluttered room will facilitate healing. There's no searching through piles, and the room feels more open and clean.
If you want to improve your clinical knowledge, don't do it parked in front of your television! Hospital-themed shows may be entertaining, but they're generally a far cry from the real thing. But you do need to keep abreast of health science news; it's a crucial part of staying on top of your professional game.
Read peer-reviewed journals, both the general and those particular to your specialty, if you have one. The New York Times' Science Times on Tuesdays is also a good source of information you can use with patient or family teaching. Read, read, read. Attend conferences. And never stop learning.
At the start of your nursing career, there will be times when you feel slow, disorganized, and perhaps lost. Try not to be flustered in these moments, and remember you are not alone. Eventually, you will develop your own system, the motions will become second nature, and one day you will look back and marvel at the nurse you have become. Learn from your preceptors and ask plenty of questions.
I do this exercise with my students: slouch on a chair, put your head back, and try to swallow. Then, bring your chin to your chest and try to swallow again. In both positions, you will find it difficult to swallow. Feeding patients with their heads in such positions could potentially cause aspiration. Keep your patients upright (30 degrees) in bed during meals or tube feeding at all times, unless contraindicated. You'll avoid aspiration, pneumonia, and more importantly, choking.
Unless contraindicated, move your patient from the bed to a chair for a sitting period; even small movements can be beneficial to otherwise immobile patients.
For your own health and well-being, remember there is more to life than work. Make the most of your days off, and try to get out of your house or apartment. Enjoy your free time, cultivate a hobby, and avoid talking about work when you are not at work.
To last in this life-saving enterprise called nursing, you need colleagues and nurse educators who are generous with their time, expertise, and practical advice. In turn, you need to be willing to ask for and accept their wisdom and guidance.
During my orientation, so many years ago, my preceptor told me to "put the patient on room air." I was too shy to ask what "room air" was. I just assumed it was stored somewhere, like a canister of helium. So I went to the supply room to search for it. It took 20 minutes for me to muster the courage to ask where I could find "room air." I was flushed with embarrassment, but it instantly created a running gag amongst my peers.
The experience taught me two things. First, there's a difference between critical thinking and over-thinking, and the latter is not only impractical, but can even be dangerous. Second, don't be afraid to ask questions; you will find they are the simplest way to learn.

USS Triton, a 1475-ton Tambor class submarine, was built at Groton, Connecticut. Commissioned in mid-August 1940, she served along the East Coast and in the Caribbean for a year, then went to the Pacific, where she was based at Pearl Harbor. During the remaining months of peace, Triton conducted training and in November 1941 was stationed off Wake Island. She was there on 7 December (8 December local time), when Japanese aggression converted her "simulated war patrol" to a real one. While off Wake she made one unsuccessful attack on an enemy ship, using the soon-discredited technique of firing torpedoes while deeply submerged, using sonar bearings for targeting.
Triton's second and third war patrols, into the East China Sea in January-March and April-June 1942, were much more productive. Her torpedoes sank two Japanese merchantmen in February. Three more were sunk in May, plus three fishing vessels and the submarine I-164. Her fourth combat cruise, which took Triton to the Aleutians in June-August 1942, cost the enemy another ship, the destroyer Nenohi.
Following a shipyard overhaul, Triton began her fifth war patrol in mid-December 1942. After helping to guide Army bombers on a raid against Wake, she sank two Marus late in the month. The rest of the patrol probably produced damage to several Japanese ships, but also was marked by bad torpedo performance, a problem that plagued the U.S. Navy submarine force for more than a year and a half after the war began. A few weeks after arriving at Brisbane, Australia, in late January 1943, Triton was sent to operate against enemy shipping north of the Solomon Islands. She sank one cargo ship in early March and attacked others, but was not heard from after the 11th of the month and in April was reported overdue and presumed lost. Postwar analysis concluded that USS Triton, with her entire crew of seventy-three officers and men, was probably sunk by Japanese destroyers off the Admiralty Islands on 15 March 1943.

I work for hca. How can I approach my employer about them sending me/ offsetting the costs related to attending? Any helpful hints?
- 0Jun 5, '13 by meanmaryjean, MSN, RNI wouldn't get my hopes up. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but with budgets the way they are, it is unlikely they will send a newbie to a conference. The way to get sent in the future is to become 'valuable' to your hospital. Do a research or performance improvement project, get together a journal club or study group - something YOU do on your own that brings value to the organization.
