"This card came out so cute/ i changed around the font and some of the colors a little but that was just my preference. I have gotten a ton of compliments!"
"This card was so cute! I really liked that I could add my sons picture and it was really easy to create the card. The picture makes it a nice keepsake for family. I received many compliments. The order arrived much earlier than the estimated arrival date so that made it even better!"
"Used for my daughters first bday party invites. Very nice quality. A touch smaller in size than I'd imagined, but should have read the details more closely. overall, great purchase."
"I use TinyPrints all the time. Excellent quality & fast production/shipping. I love these invites (with rounded corners) for my sons first birthday party. I only wish the back had a pattern option."
"The design on this card is just perfect. Its delicate and simple, yet colorful and girly. It fit perctly with the theme for my little ones birthday. Everyone thought it was beautiful."

I'll post it as soon as I've done the typing-down on my compi. Downloaded FLCL and Serial Experiments Lain today ^_^. Also Yami no Matsuei- But I wathced none of it ^^". I am going to write a new ficlet, I think. Something with Blaise jacking Draco off in the middle of potions lesson. Yay, my very first public sex-ficcie!! ^_____^ *cheers*Well, Lisa suggested that I only lived in my personal world or something like this. I guess she's right. But what's so bad about this? I often like to think of myself as a part out of society. In a world which is angelic, serene, peaceful. So very different from what they call "The real world". Well, at my maths-extra-education this afternoon, it was so boring and i was so~ tired that i slipped off in the middle of the lesson and phantasied about a Ron x Harry x Draco threesome, Draco giving Snape a blowjob and a Harry x Draco x Snape threesome Oo". Then I became aroused in the middle of my tasks!! O_____oI felt so~~~ ashamed... >_> I reddened like there was no tomorrow and poor Mister Hellebrandt didn't have a clue what was goin' on... ^_^"I'm so sorry, Mister Hellebrandt!

The folks over at Medium have done it again with the knock-out opening. It was a cheery choice of music playing as Ariel watched her classmate, Owen, wave good-bye to his mother. The mother is none other than Journeyman's, Gretchen Egolf. It's good to see she's working even if her show is not slated to come back next fall. (Sadness.) But it was hard to watch her pour gasoline all over herself and then light the match. And then Ariel woke up. I would be torn apart if I knew my daughter, my 15-year old daughter, no less, was having these kinds of dreams. It would be heartbreaking to know what she was going through, and knowing there was nothing you could do about it. On a happier note, this episode had a little bit of everything and so many storylines, I'm not sure I caught everything. It was great to see Bruce Gray return as Joe's dad, and as usual he was trying to warn Allison about something. First she dreamed of him at the driving range with Joe discussing poverty vs. vacations. And then she saw him hanging in the hallway and actually had a coherent conversation with him. I wish she had more dead people to talk to. It adds for a very funny bit. But then we don't want her to go all ghost-whispery on us, do we? Kathy Baker starred as Joe's mom, (she doesn't look nearly old enough to be his mother), who came bearing a loan for the semi-unemployed family of five. (Honestly, how do they make ends meet? Although I could swear Joe said Allison was getting a check for $10,000 from Cynthia.) Marjorie came also bearing some rather upsetting news, that she was sick. The saddest part was when she was asking Allison if she could sense the outcome and whether she'd make it through. You knew Allison wanted to tell her she "knew" it would be all right, but since her powers don't work that way, she couldn't. You could feel the air sort of drain out of the room for Marjorie. She'd put some expectations into Allison's answer and when there were none, it was a huge letdown. Anyone have a clue as to what that piece of paper was that fell out of Owen's file when Ariel was gathering it for the principal? Do I sense trouble in paradise between Scanlon and Lynn? One could only hope. Alas, their little tiff in the beginning was short-lived. They seemed quite content and comfortable with each other. It was nice that Scanlon had the cahones to go to work during the police strike; that's a hard decision. But he's caught between wanting a decent life for himself and wanting to do the right thing. I wondered about the tension between Lee and Devalos. I know they were on opposite sides of the table with the Stacey case, but they generally didn't quarrel like that when they were working together. By the end, and then only to Lynn, Scanlon admitted he didn't think Graham was guilty. (Luckily, we have an entire other episode left to find out the truth about that one.) But it was fantastic to see both of them calling on Allison to help them out!!! Finally, she gets her due. That Cynthia Keener was a real nasty Nancy during this show. When Allison showed up at her house at 6 AM, (well, OK, that's pretty early and anyone would be peeved), I thought she might tear her head off with that look she gave her at the door. She was great when she said she thought she'd heard everything by now, And here was Allison telling her about a guy with a "dentist fetish". (That pour girl's mouth is gonna hurt pretty darned badly when she wakes up, if she wakes up). I loved that Cynthia said that she only pays for the dreams that actually have a clue she could use. As if handing Allison a check would change the dreams she's having. That was a hoot. Funnier still was the conversation between Scanlon and Allison on their way to meet Devalos: Scanlon: "You haven't had any arson dreams lately, have you?" Allison: "No, you wouldn't happen to be looking for a horny dentist, would you?" I loved Scanlon's line: "You don't light yourself on fire unless you're a monk with a war to protest." Finally, how sweet was Joe when he was comforting Al about Ariel's dream. "Maybe you were overbooked," he cooed. And then he wondered, "If a dream needs to be dreamed and you're not there" What does happen when the tree falls in the forest with no one there to listen to it? Who dreams these dreams when the psychic is not available? Unfortunately, for Al, both Ariel and Bridgette are afflicted, or gifted, (depending on how you look at it), with this ability. I hope she really takes the time to teach them how to deal with the rather mature content sooner rather than later. Thank the good Lord this is a two-parter, which not only means there's more to this story than meets the eye, but we get another week of Medium when most shows are off the air. What a refreshing thought. While we wait, check out all the other clues Allison has dreamed up to help solve case by watching our Online Video Guide. Do it, you might just feel a "twinge."

whatever reports and records you need to, updated instantly on our
network. All you need to get the records you want is the bare minimum
required on your target. It would do you well not to abuse the system
records you receive.
Personally Run A
Background Check
Do you want to know about
someone's past lives and indiscretions? The Internet has made PIs
obsolete, now that such information is instant and globalized. There
are background checks you can run on individuals that are completely
legal, which we provide for an affordable price. You can view public
records in order to do a background check on someone. There's nothing
illegal about it!

This is a little test! Kristi
Fans of Chicago Fire
This is a little test! Kristi
The Fire are 1 point away from 1st place in the Eastern Conference and are in 3rd place overall. C'mon you Men in Red!
I am going to a Fire's practice when I am home. SO PUMPED!!
I can't wait for the game tomorrow. I won free tickets but too bad I won't be in Chicago. VAMOS CHICAGO
This two weeks off will be good for them. Maybe they can fix their defense. But CHRIS ROLFE IS BACK! He looks so great to be back in a Fire jersey.
Well, that whole Open Cup thing didn't go exactly as planned. But let's hope they bounce back and completely demolish the Revs tomorrow.
Welp, what did you guys think about that Open Cup loss? Did anyone watch the feed live?
After a disappointing loss last night, the Fire are on their way to win the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup this Tuesday!
Is anyone going to the Q&A with Andrew tonight at AJ Hudson's? I plan on being there. The soccer nerd in me loves the Q&A sessions. Plus, there's a fundraiser for XI (http://www.xiquarterly.com/).
The Fire, not TFC, are the Real Men in Red! Today was proof of that!
What a game on Sunday, eh folks? A double rain delay and all we got was a 1-1 draw.
Mmmm, smell that excitement in the air? Oh yes, it's Gameday!! We will miss Sean Johnson, but have tons of confidence in Tornaghi to be the wall tonight.
Tornaghi is so amazing!!!
We are really enjoying unseasonable weather. 80 's and sunny all week. Perfect for the tailgate & home opener Saturday. Time to stand and deliver!
I guess 1 point is better than 0 today. Looking forward to amazing home opener next weekend!
I can't wait for the season opener today! Let's silence the 50,000 + Impact fans!

Monday, it looked like Microsoft was interested in buying 5% of Facebook for a sum of $300-500 million. The following day, the plot thickened as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg visited Seattle—and Microsoft—according to CNNMoney.com.
Senior editor David Kirkpatrick hits on the reasons why Facebook is so attractive to investors:
Facebook is the closest thing the world has to a next-generation Internet, one structured not around Web sites but around people. In the Facebook topology, every data source or service is defined by who else is using it.
The company has, in a crude way, solved the critical problem of Internet identity. Each member's profile is tantamount to their personal Web site, which defines who you are, who you know, what you are interested in, and what you are doing now.
Kirkpatrick hedges his bets as he concludes:
I doubt if Zuckerberg sees it as essential for his company to align with Microsoft or any strategic investor. But he is enough of a pragmatist to realize that Facebook would be immeasurably strengthened by the kinds of sums now being bandied about. He won't refuse them.
However, Kirkpatrick also notes that the $10-15 billion valuation of Facebook is likely overinflated, stating, "There's no way the company is worth that kind of money today, despite the 43 million active users it claims."
While it seems to be the general consensus that $15 billion is too high, it really looks as though Facebook could be getting quite a bit more from Microsoft than the $150 million revenue it'll turn this year.

About ready to ride
A roadway project in the works since President John F. Kennedy traversed the halls of the White House will become a reality early next month.
Crews for the N.C. Department of Transportation are putting the last touches on the final segment of U.S. 311 through northern Randolph County, with the 8-mile section scheduled to open after the first of June.
The DOT hoped to finish the section from Cedar Square Road in Glenola to U.S. 220 north of Asheboro by Memorial Day weekend. But rainy weather has delayed the completion.
"We expect to open the U.S. 311 Bypass the first week of June," said DOT spokesman Steve Abbott. "The paving of the roadway was completed a few weeks ago, but work such as laying down the traffic lane markings requires dry and warmer weather."
The last section of U.S. 311 cost $99.7 million. The previously completed section, finished in June 2011, was $104 million, the DOT reports. The previous section to open extends from Interstate 85 Business Loop in south High Point to Cedar Square Road.
The plans for U.S. 311 from Interstate 40 in Winston-Salem to U.S. 220 in Randolph County date on transportation planning documents to the early 1960s.
Area economic developers have lobbied for the expressway during five decades, viewing the road as another key artery for business growth. The full length of U.S. 311 in the Piedmont will become part of the Interstate 74 system, which will reach from the South Carolina coast to the Midwest.
"Both the business community and the general public have been looking forward to the opening of this section of Interstate 74.
This next step toward completing the highway in the state greatly improves High Point's connectivity to the south — to Asheboro, the Sandhillls area, the South Carolina coast and beyond," said Loren Hill, president of the High Point Economic Development Corp.
The significance of the project is reflected in plans by the DOT to recognize the occasion.
"We expect to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the opening, as well as the designation of that stretch of highway as a Blue Star Memorial Highway in tribute to the U.S. military for their service to the country," Abbott said.

TUESDAY, April 2 (HealthDay News) -- Antihistamines and other medicines disrupt the ecosystems of streams, a new study finds.
"Pharmaceutical pollution is now detected in waters throughout the world," lead author Emma Rosi-Marshall, a scientist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, N.Y., said in an institute news release. "Causes include aging infrastructure, sewage overflows and agricultural runoff. Even when wastewater makes it to sewage treatment facilities, they aren't equipped to remove pharmaceuticals."
"As a result, our streams and rivers are exposed to a cocktail of synthetic compounds, from stimulants and antibiotics to analgesics and antihistamines," Rosi-Marshall said.
The researchers examined how some common medicines affect similar-sized streams in New York, Maryland and Indiana. The medicines included the antibiotic ciprofloxacin, the diabetes drug metformin, two antihistamines used to treat heartburn (cimetidine and ranitidine) and an antihistamine used to treat allergies (diphenhydramine).
"We focused on the response of biofilms -- which most people know as the slippery coating on stream rocks -- because they're vital to stream health," Rosi-Marshall said. "In streams, biofilms contribute to water quality by recycling nutrients and organic matter. They're also a major food source for invertebrates that, in turn, feed larger animals like fish."
The antihistamine diphenhydramine (Benadryl is one brand) caused significant disruption to biofilm communities in the streams, according to the study appearing in the journal Ecological Applications.
"[Diphenhydramine's] effect on biofilms could have repercussions for animals in stream food webs, like insects and fish," Rosi-Marshall said.
The other medicines in the study also had measurable effects on the biofilm communities in the streams. The findings highlight the ecological threat posed by pharmaceutical waste and the need for more research into this issue, the study authors said.

"What a simple, elegant, healthy, classy recipe. Everyone loved it! It's a keeper -- thank you."
"The 2nd and 3rd time I made this delicious dessert I doubled the cinnamon and vanilla, and I think it is well worth doing so! The other recommendation I would give is to bake it in a smaller dish, ie 7x10. Each layer is thicker and the base is more stable. It does mean, however, that you have to mix the top two layers slightly in order to avoid th..."
"This was gorgeous, and I'll echo the other reviews: it left us wondering why we don't eat more lamb!! Also, I was repeatedly asked whether the lamb had been marinated -- it was a delicious combination of flavors. As w/some other reviewers, 400F was a bit too hot. Next time I'd reduce to 375 and _definitely_ add water to the pan so..."
"This was a very tasty meal that the whole family enjoyed. No leftovers! It DID require a lot of rice, though, because we found it exceptionally salty even after adding carrots in a dilution-attempt.

"This review is for the fudge frosting, which was positively delicious!!!! I coated banana muffins with it. I would definitely use this fudge frosting recipe again!"
"As lovely a crumble as any! We added strawberries, and also (shhhh!) sprinkled some white and milk chocolate pieces on top before baking. Served with cream and ice cream -- delicious!"
"Because the workmen liked it (indeed one took home the recipe!), I am giving this four stars. Personally, the flavor was not distinctive enough. If I were to give it a second try, I would double the taco seasoning and/or put in some really kickin' salsa."
"I appreciated the "extra mile" of sauteing garlic and onions for the bbq sauce. I combined the sauce with pulled pork and served it in bread -- it really saved the pork which was tasteless! Personally, my only thought was that the sauce was overly vinegary. For us, white bread wasn't hearty enough to deal with the vinegar taste, ..."
"Loved this savoury sour-dough bread. Instead of the milk-water-sour cream combo, I substituted plain old soured milk (same quantity: 280ml). And when I ran short on chives, in went minced leek! I loved the look of the green flakes in the bread. This recipe calls for only half as much sugar as the last sour-dough loaf I made, so the kids didn't..."
"I didn't want to risk having the thin, crispy cookies some reviewers wrote about, so I followed their advice and added to this lovely recipe an extra egg and an extra 1/8 t. b. soda.

Pyxis vs. Omnicell....Comments?
- 0Aug 4, '04 by Nai'aHII have experience with the Pyxis system, but none with Omnicell - who I understand is the biggest competition to Pyxis.
Could anyone who has experience with both systems comment on comparison and contrast?
Many thanks -
- 0Aug 4, '04 by NeuroICURNI've worked with both. Where I work, we use the Omnicell. Now, it depends on which Omnicell you're talking about also, because I've used two different types. The Omnicell that I used at another hospital wasn't that great because it didn't have the capacity that the one does where I work now.
However, the one that I work with now and the Pyxis that I used for clinicals were VERY similar. Overall though, I like the Omnicell better for some minor reasons. The biggest reason is the Omnicell has a middle drawer that can be used to dispense certain (usually very commonly used meds, such as morphine, Lortab, etc) meds one at a time, so that you don't have to do a countback EVERY time you do it! It just dispenses the one down into the drawer and pops right open!
Hope this helps!
P.S. Why are you asking? Did you have problems? Is your facility looking to make a change?
- 0Aug 5, '04 by Nai'aHIActually, I have interviewed at two different facilities, one with Omnicell, one with Pyxis.
I've worked with Pyxis before (liked it just fine) - but was wondering if there were any pluses/minuses that would help with the employment situation.
Yeah, I know it's kind of "retentive" of me, but sometimes it's the little things that make all of the difference.
Thanks for your input!

- 0Dec 31, '04 by DeeRNHaving used both Pyxis and Omnicell, I would say that I prefer Pyxis. They have single drug access also and seem to have more drug interaction warnings that I didn't have with Omnicell. I never liked the small Pyxis screen but understand they just came out with a larger one that I have not seen.
- 0Dec 31, '04 by nursepearlat my current job we have both pyxis and omnicell, but they sereve two different purposes. the pyxis we have is for drug dispension and the omnicell is used for other supplies...ie.bags of fluid, tubing...etc.
- 0Dec 31, '04 by SmilingBluEyesi just WISH we would get one or the other where I work. Emar is hell. I have no experience w/omnicell, but PYXIS I loved!

As defense officials have tried to get a grasp on its mismanaged contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan through the years, one factor that has emerged is the rotation of federal and contractor personnel into and out of the war zone.
Uniformed personnel, federal civilian employees and even contractors are coming and going to the war zone frequently. The new arrivals have to get acquainted with the all-new issues they're dealing with, which they may not have faced in the past, Moshe Schwartz, specialist in defense acquisition at the Congressional Research Service, said during a House Armed Services Committee hearing Sept. 12.
"Often someone who gets to theater has never engaged in a counterinsurgency, and it takes them a learning curve" to get up to speed, he said.
Contracting in wartime is fundamentally different from contracting in peacetime. In peacetime, a contracting officer considers cost, schedule and performance as the primary factors in choosing the best vendor. In the war zone, the officer has different concerns. Threats are greater and different. Contract officials have to keep closer tabs on materials, so that the government is getting all that it has paid for. They also have to think about the impact the contract's work would have on the local population.
By the time the employees and personnel finally begin to understand operations and what's happening, they're just months from heading home.
"That definitely has an impact on continuity and common-sense issues," he added.
The rotation cycle hits data management as well, Schwartz said. Some incoming workers aren't familiar with the data systems in use. The outgoing wokers sometimes fail to connect with their incoming counterparts to pass along important information about the system and about collecting data.
"Sometimes, the person collecting the data has the book on the shelf, and the next person didn't know it was there," he said.
In light of the mismanagement and other contracting problems in Iraq and Afghanistan, Defense Department officials have worked to develop a cadre of acquisition employees who know contracting in both peacetime and wartime.
In 2009, the department established the Joint Contingency Acquisition Support Office as an on-call group to coordinate and even integrate aspects of operational contract support. Further, the Defense Acquisition University has seven contingency-related training courses, primarily geared toward the acquisition profession, Alan Estevez, assistant secretary of defense for logistics and materiel readiness, told the committee.
DOD has made numerous other organizational changes to get a hold of its mismanagement problems. Estevez said the department realizes that operational contracting support and DOD's reliance on contractors, which makes them a vital ingredient in contingency operations, won't go away.
"We have worked hard to improve our oversight and management of this very critical area and have no intention of losing focus," Estevez said.

My instinctive problem solving mind goes into hyper drive with this article.I think we have the technology to fix it. The question is do we have the management discipline to do so.For instance:We have the cloud and electronic data management systems.The Contracting officer's (KO) must document EVERYTHING. pre-solicitation market research and understanding of the challenge details of the decision making process all conversations and stepsThese steps are already required. Enforcing them is the challenge. I work with a Contracting Officer who prints every email and details every conversation. His files are 3 times thicker than anyone elses, BUT, it's all there.IF the onsite KO was required to post everything to the central data storage site, even if it was notes about conversations, meetings, inspections, etc., then: A stateside KO could review, request/require information for clarity and push for (require as a Supervisor??) the addtional data. A stateside team could become the resident experts and develop the expertise by working the projects all the time to provide overlap, transition, and continuity.

Vestal facing sewer rate increase
1/8/2014 (Updated 10:56:43 PM)VESTAL -- Vestal residents are now facing another sewer rate increase.
Wednesday night, the Vestal Town Board held a public hearing where many residents expressed their concerns and displeasure of what they were now facing. Officials say that Vestal residents could be looking at a seven to eight percent increase in cost from their current expenses.
"I don't anticipate the rates going down, I see more increase and until we can get above it and on top of this infrastructure," said Scott Groats, Vestal Water Superintendent
Groats went on to say that he believes that this could not only affect the the county but possible the state.

The dashing NYCB principal talks ballet.
Mon Apr 25 2011
CommentsAdd +
I think that gets to the essence of why it's so hard: Doing the movement is one thing, partnering is another, but it's really having that stillness without being dull.
Exactly! I've heard so many of my teachers say, "The hardest thing to do is stand onstage," and I was always like, But that's got to be so much fun—to take the audience on this journey with you? I thought I would feel so comfortable, and then when I got there, I was like, I've got to do something with it; I've got to do something with it. And I didn't think that would be my reaction—to be too eager or too fussy with it.
How was Apollo described to you? Or was he ever?
That's the thing: At the beginning, they didn't say anything, and that's why I went overboard with my own studying. Had I not put this ballet on such a pedestal, that process would have been fine. They would have taught me the steps, and I probably would have done it without thinking so much, but I'm obviously on a different road, and I just have to see where it ends up. I can see why they did it. I just went the wrong way. [Laughs]
Sometimes I think they allow you to make the biggest mistake that you could possibly make just to get it out of the way. Do you know what I mean? You're going to go your own way, even if they guide you. This way is extreme: You learn quickly and then move on.
Yeah. Kind of scrape it all out so they just get the essence of it.
Were you ready for it?
I wanted it so badly that I didn't really think whether or not I was. It's one of those moments where you see your name on the casting, and you're like, Yes! [He pulls down a fist.] I've been so grateful for the things I've done, but I've never had that moment of yes—like when someone scores a touchdown. I wasn't even close to the end zone.
How close are you now?
To the end zone? [Grins] We're still scratching the surface. But I feel like if I keep that mentality—of always scratching the surface—then no matter how many times I do a certain role, I'll always find something in it personally. And I think that's a scary place too because here I am being told, "Let the choreography do it," and then I'm fighting this urge to find where my place is in it with my artistry. Finding that balance is going to be fun. I talked with Peter Boal about it for a second, and he said the coolest things. He described the relationship with Terpsichore—how it's not when a man loves a woman, but when a boy loves his teacher. He talked about how the whole pas de deux is about that. And also, that when you're sitting on the stool; you never lose focus for one second. You're captivated by these women, and each of them has something to offer you, but they don't have that It thing that you need to become this god. What he said about Apollo in the very beginning of the ballet was cool, too: It's about the colt, the ruffian, the infallible man. This is the guy I watched do it. He was my teacher in the school. He's the reason why I wanted to be a ballet dancer, so to hear his input was so exciting. He boiled it down and said, "A lot of people want to be the god at the beginning, but wait and save it till the end. It will be so much more powerful."
Who else did you turn to for advice?
I love anything and everything that Wendy Whelan does and says, so I asked her if she'd keep an eye on me. I was walking down the street, and it was rainy, and I saw her, and she said, "So, Apollo." I asked her who I should watch tapes of, and she mentioned everybody, and then she said, "Watch Ib." I wouldn't have thought to do that. She said, "He was just so clean, and he really got it." I asked her to tell me if I was doing anything funky.
So what did she say?
We haven't talked yet. I never want to fish for something, so if it happens, it happens, but if it doesn't, I trust that she's not letting me go out there doing something stupid.
Do you ever study at Steps with Willy Burmann, who is Whelan's teacher?
I take class with him all the time. He was really excited for me during this and just talked about cutting it down and doing steps, and it was interesting to hear this from him and then reiterated with Peter [Martins]. I get it. The road I need to go down is clear.
You have said that you love those dancing parts. What do you get out of this physically?
I'm still at that overwhelmed place. One thing is the music: To have that stunning music, but not doing the usual twirlies and hooplas, it's just so different and challenging. I love those moments when you get to play with the music, but in Apollo, you don't really do that. In Violin Concerto or Duo, I feel the music is there to run with. This is learning how to run with the music in another way.
You're dancing with an entirely new cast.
Yes. Sterling Hyltin, Tiler Peck and Ana Sophia Scheller. It's my Who Cares? girls. [Laughs] It's Who Cares? does Apollo. I think we feel so comfortable with one another. We all went out to dinner the first night, and none of us felt very good about [the performance], but to be able to be with each other and to have that camaraderie with them? I have such different relationships with each one, which is how it is in the ballet, too. We can all say our two cents, and no one gets offended. It's fun to get to explore different things with the same people and to see each other grow. These are special moments. We took pictures [after the first show], and we all just look awful: The lighting was funny, and we look like ghosts with ghoulish eyes. So that will be our memory of it, but it's pretty fitting.

ASA Education Center: There's a Lot to Learn
Diane Gambill, Ph.D. ASA Chief Learning Officer
Learn something new every day – That's a core strategy for lifelong learning and my own personal philosophy as a lifelong learner and educator. But how do you find the time to learn and decide where to look with the ever-expanding volume of new information in science and medicine? The solution might literally be at your fingertips.
The Education Center website, launched at the ANESTHESIOLOGY™ 2011 annual meeting, was designed to help meet all your education and CME needs. In a little over a year, the Education Center has attracted more than 15,000 registered users and currently offers access to more than 100 individual educational activities. The site allows you to explore ASA's suite of live meetings, e-learning modules and traditional print activities.
In addition to serving as a resource for education activities, you can track your personal ASA education history, claim credit for attendance at live meetings sponsored by ASA, and print CME certificates for your records – all in one place.
If you haven't visited the Education Center recently, here are some highlights of what is now available.
MOCA® activities: ASA offers education activities that meet ABA's requirements for MOCA® Part 2 and 4. Be sure to look for the latest editions of Anesthesiology Continuing Education (ACE) and Self-Education and Evaluation (SEE) as well as the following:
Patient Safety modules on more than a dozen topics, including a selection of outstanding presentations from the ANESTHESIOLOGY™ 2012 annual meeting.
Self-Assessment Module in Pain Medicine (SAM-PM) – a new self-study module, created through a partnership with the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA).
Simulation training, including a current listing of the ASA-endorsed Simulation Education Network centers.
Practice Performance Assessment and Improvement (PPAI) modules, created in collaboration with the Anesthesia Quality Institute, that guide you through case evaluation on a variety of clinical issues such as hyperglycemia, obstructive sleep apnea, mechanical ventilation and many others.
ASA is also developing education activities to meet the needs of anesthesiologists in the early stages of their careers. Look for the release of our new online series of modules focusing on the basics of practice management and for residents transitioning into practice. The ASA Committee on Ethics has just completed an outstanding module that complements the new Syllabus on Ethics.
And there is much more! Our committees, editorial boards and staff continue to work on creating fresh content for you. Visit education.asahq.org to see for yourself.

amazing day
Its gorgeous out. I live in cali and im sitting in an office working on a grant for americorps. The AC is on too high and I dont want to be here at all. My best girlfriend just got back from a year in France. Unfortunately shes in massachusetts and im here. I have never not seen her during the summer. We tend to get into all sorts of trouble together. I have 7 weeks until I go home for a break. And im anticipating a break from the LA scene. Its very different and yet the same as i pictured it. The people are what i exspected. Ive only met one real person that I didnt already know from back home here. And he's not always avaliable. Im just awaiting 4 pm. Writing emails to my closest friends and trying to focus on the work at hand. I tried this online journal thing because im online alot at work. And its a lot lighter then carrying my nice one around. I guess today im just in need of good conversations over coffee with jen. But instead im forced to use the phone. which has become the communication method for a number of my close relationships thus far. :)

Full-Grown Adult Senator Determined to Take a Selfie With Every Single One of His Peers
Cory Booker's at it again.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
Cory Booker's at it again.
Underscoring his middle class roots.
For the first time in four years.
He couldn't have done it without Ted Cruz's tweet-reading.
And he's holding a fund-raiser to prove it.
But his scandal-plagued days are not over yet.
He wants more information on Benghazi.
Unlike the proposed assault weapons ban.
Joe Biden flirted with nonagenarians, gave relationship advice to a fifteen-year-old, and managed to make a fondling joke.
But your Netflix queue is safe.
In the Senate itself. He's expected to say yes.
The tight race goes to the Democratic challenger.
She's tired of the uncompromising Senate body.
The bill passed by a 96-3 margin.
Now it'll be on Tuesday.
Let the games begin.
Mitch McConnell called the plan "reasonable."
