New Grads!!! There IS a way to SURVIVE!!
- 5I have started a thread based on an off shoot if solutions to help create a marketplace for new Grads. I was on a 12-year plan en route to my BSN....from failing ADN school at 19 due to a cyclothymia trait and test anxiety, Getting my LPN, making money, buying my first house, finding a BSN program to be blindsided by fracturing 2 vertebrae in my neck in 2007, then a near death experience in 2008. I survived sucky setbacks, indeed...However, the nursing school supported and allowed me through my hard work to achieve my goal of a BSN...However...
GPA 2.98-GREAT-but not enough for a competitive nurse residency program...if I wanted to get into the residency I would have to wait, stay at my current job as an RN and wait six months and reapply to the program...this hospital ended up having a hiring freeze.
LPN-GREAT!!! You won't run away like most new grads, but we can't hire you because you do not have acute care experience in the last 2 years AND you haven't touched an adult pt in five, oh and if you want to be considered for the job, we'll contact you in 2 years.
These are the above comments I have experienced when finding a job. Rejected 200 apps a week, then the reminders of loan repayment started rolling in, along with my anxiety...then I thought of the resources that I had started compiling during my last semester in nursing school in December 2011...and still from over a year, these programs and resources are in place:
1) Perkins Loan forgiveness: started well into my nursing school track...really should've chose Perkins over Sallie Mae. Still holding my breath for that loan forgiveness passage. I hope the new Congress will return to this bill and pass it, but I'm not holding my breath. Either way, contact you state BON if you have Perkins loans. They can be forgiven...I have a co worker who took advantage of the program...we are in PA, but I saw a lot of states who are participating.
2) HRSA: Committed to access of healthcare, they have loan repayment programs, scholarships, etc: http://www.hrsa.gov/loanscholarships/index.html
3) FinAid: Have various volunteer programs like City Year and Peace corps which can help pay off student loans...I will post the link below in the response
Please feel free to post additional programs that are out there. There are grant programs as well geared to Healthy People 2020 and can help towards further education...
These programs are competitive, but worth the try!!!
There is a light at the end of this tunnel...I was able to get a job after 8 months post graduation and licensure at a PICU at a local Children's hospital starting in February. I plan to apply to the HRSA loan repayment program. There is a light in the end of the tunnel...volunteer, work at a clinic...think outside of the box!!! You can do THIS!!! You may be eligible for these programs!! Good luck and keep surviving!!!
- 1Jan 13, '13 by NightingallowOk this is a repost from another thread but here it goes...
www.peacecorps.gov looks very good, that is if you are able to commit to 27 months, and can pass the physical.
if you happen to have $2000+ lying around, (yeah I know, who does?) there is an admirable program www.islonline.org . It's a program where you have some hands on experience in other countries doing honorable things in 1-2 week sessions. If you can't afford it, but are blessed with a family, you can ask your 12 uncles, aunts, parents, grandparents combined to contribute, they also have fundraising options.
If you know someone who wants to be a doctor but can't afford it (again who can?) www.citydoctors.com The deadline has already passed but there is a contact email, can contact the program to see if and when it will be active again.
Best of luck new grads. We need all the help we can get.

Congrads on the new job and best of all for you, babies aren't heavy!
- 2Jan 13, '13 by KelRN215, BSN, RNPerkins Loans can be forgiven if you are a nurse but here's how it works... you have a six month grace period once you graduate before you have to begin making payments on your loan. Prior to this six month grace period ending you must submit your application for cancellation which must include a signature from your supervisor confirming that you are employed full time and your job description. Once this is submitted to your school, your loan is deferred for a year. At the end of the first year, you resubmit all of this paperwork, a percentage of your loan is canceled and then it is deferred for another year. After 5 years of full-time employment, your loan is canceled completely. If you are a new grad who is not employed, you don't qualify for this specific cancellation but could probably defer your loans for economic reasons/due to unemployment.
You don't really get to "choose" Perkins Loans over Sallie Mae though... Perkins Loans are federal loans, the federal government gives you the amount they determine you qualify for based on your FAFSA and your school's opinions. Basically your school receives a certain amount of federal loan money and they determine how it is dispersed. If you still have a balance on your account after you receive your financial aid package, you can't just apply for more Perkins Loan money... that's where private loans like Sallie Mae come in.
HRSA incentive programs only apply to nurses working in Health Professional Shortage Areas...
I did a program through International Service Learning immediately after graduating from Nursing School. It's still on my resume and people still comment on it nearly 6 years later. I was a newly licensed nurse at the time and the only nurse/nursing student on the trip... everyone else was pre-med or in pharmacy school. There are a lot of similar programs around but, as backwards as it seems, volunteering abroad is expensive. It cost me around $5,000 to volunteer in Africa four years ago... the majority of that was the flight.
- 2Jan 13, '13 by plumbtricianNew grads living in part of the USA where jobs are difficult to acquire? Life isn't easy, sacrifices must be made. I was living in California and moved to Texas to go to nursing school to avoid the trap that y'all are in right now. What I have found in my travels is that there are jobs in acute care all over the country in little places called Texas, Louisiana, Alabama...
I will not volunteer to do something that I should get paid good money to do. I feel that this belittles the profession. If you didn't pick up my tone, I would move to a part of the country that is hiring new nurses. I praise you for your hard work, determination and drive. I wish you the best.
Yeah, Texas kinda !@#$ for me.
- 0Jan 14, '13 by Aongroup1990I do like the city year program but what is the big commitment before I get into it. and does it involve traveling as well?

In 2001 Southwestern began a master planning project to enforce and strengthen the future of the University.
This master planning project included then need for new structures such as: parking, accessibility, new facilities, environmental issues and memorials. The master plan also included elements pertaining to non-structural issues including enrollment projections, security features, endowments, technology and investments.
This research and planning has brought Southwestern to a very exciting time in its history. New student growth over the past several years has prompted us to begin the Vital Vision Capital Campaign. The campaign will consist of four distinct phases which will allow Southwestern to reach its maximum potential on the eleven acre campus.
The first phase began at the end of 2003, with the opening of a new resident hall in January of 2004. The resident hall was completed at an overall cost of 1.2 million dollars and will house 56 students.

Powell targeting Cup run
Broncos chief hoping to mastermind Wembley appearance
Related links

London Broncos coach Rob Powell has set his sights on an extended Challenge Cup run after watching his side thrash Dewsbury 72-4 at the Stoop on Sunday.
The Broncos ran in 13 tries as they dominated from start to finish, ruthlessly exposing their part-time opponents.
Now, having failed to progress past the fifth round since 2007, Powell is looking to engineer a trip to Wembley.
"It has been a long time since this club had a good cup run," he said. "With the Challenge Cup you get a couple of wins and suddenly you are in the semi-finals.
"We had nine Londoners out there today and they know what a good run would mean to the club.
"It is exciting for the players and exciting for the fans and we want to build on this result."
Jowitt hails effort
Dewsbury coach Warren Jowitt, who made eight changes for the clash, admitted the contest had simply been a bridge too far for his troops.
"We have to be realistic and it was always going to be difficult for us to come here and get a result," he stated.
"We are not a Featherstone or a side like that, somebody who can steal a result against a Super League team.
"We had a young side out there today and I thought we had a good crack.
"The league is obviously the more important competition for us and hopefully scoring a try near the end will give us that bit of confidence to take forward."

Historical fiction about an alternate 1800s, with magic!
Needs Launching Votes Gaslamp fantasy, also called gaslight fantasy, is Steampunk's less science-loving cousin. It's a subgenre of fantasy with a setting that is clearly recognizable as the real-world 19th or very early 20th century. That's the Regency period and the Victorian and Edwardian eras, if the work's set in England, which it usually, though not necessarily, is (Victorian London is especially popular). It may be identical to the real world with a Masquerade, or it may be a full-on Alternate History where magic exists openly and has affected the course of events. Gaslamp fantasy often draws on Gothic Horror Tropes, and is sometimes seen as a sort of Reconstruction or revival of the genre. The key difference between gaslamp fantasy and Steampunk is that Steampunk focuses on alternate developments in technology (and need not have any magic at all), while gaslamp fantasy focuses on supernatural elements (and need not have any technology that didn't actually exist). Of course, there is overlap. The term was coined to describe the comic Girl Genius, but has since come into wider use, and is sometimes retroactively applied to the more fantastical works of Gothic Horror. For similar genres with more modern settings, see Urban Fantasy and Gothic Punk.

In the first of what I hope to be an ongoing series, this post briefly summarizes some interesting and recent public opinion findings and makes sense of them in the context of political psychology research.
A poll released this past week by the Pew Research Center finds that (1) there is a growing gap in public perceptions of federal, state, and local governments and (2) there are major partisan divides in these views. What should we make of these data?
The Pew report finds that while 50% of the people in the United States have a favorable view of their state government and 60% have a favorable view of their local government, only about one-third of respondents reported positive attitudes toward government in Washington and this number has tanked (dropping from a high near 75% in the early 2000s).
The report also finds a major partisan disagreement among views of federal government: While Democrats had generally negative views of the federal government prior to the election of Barack Obama, their views have been increasingly negative since about 2010, whereas Republicans' views have dropped dramatically since Obama's election. Views of Independents remain largely unchanged over the same period.

Those with long memories may recall the north Minneapolis real estate debacle from 1995 to 1998, when property flippers relied on fraudulent documents to pump mortgages through lenders and left the North Side with hundreds of homeowners owing more than their homes were worth.
The main lender at the center of the flood of bad mortgages was WMC Mortgage, which appeared to self-inflict its mortgage losses by reckless inattention to the shaky loans brought to it by brokers, as the Star Tribune reported in 1999.
The spate of bad loans wound up becoming a dress rehearsal for the explosion of subprime lending that took such risks that the collapse of the housing market has left the American economy in a slump that's entering its fifth year.
So what happened to WMC?
According to a new investigative piece by the Center for Public Integrity, blue-chip firm General Electric bought WMC for $500 million in 2004, let the wild lending continue, and eventually took a $1 billion bath before shutting the lender down in 2007. WMC hired ex-strippers to peddle mortgages and marginalized whistleblowers, CPI reports, while continuing its loose lending.
Of course, a stronger response to lenders like WMC back then might have cured some of the excesses of the subprime lenders that allowed so many borrowers to get into trouble. U.S. Attorney Todd Jones and his attorneys took out some of the top-tier mortgage brokers who relied on inflated income verifications and overblown appraisals, but the Hennepin County attorney's office was missing in action against second-tier fraudsters, something not cured until Mike Freeman was elected to head the office. The Legislature passed up a chance to rein in abusive features of some subprime lending, waiting until 2007, when much of the damage was done. Federal regulators who had the most influence over the lending system also fell down on the job.
Political leaders teamed with lenders to respond to flipping-related fraud with an education program warning consumers against risky mortgages. But the second wave of North Side foreclosures that accompanied the national housing crash suggests that strategy didn't work so well.

Barney augments his team with new blood for a personal battle: to take down Conrad Stonebanks, the Expendables co-founder and notorious arms trader who is hell bent on wiping out Barney and every single one of his associates.
Directed: Patrick Hughes
Stars: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Mel Gibson and Wesley Snipes
What we think: Let's get one thing out of the way first, this isn't going to be award winning script writing or acting.
This is a pumped up bunch of your favourite action heroes throughout the years, kicking ass and lighting up the screen with explosions, punches, kicks and abject one liners.
You really do have to check your brain in at the door, so it riles me up when film critics go in and slate the hell out of it.
I mean what were they expecting? Since the first film the number of Sly's expendables has grown, it's becoming harder and harder to shoehorn the stars into the promotional posters.
In this outing Barney Ross (Stallone) finally comes to the conclusion they just might be 'too old for this shit', and so after a botched attempt at trying to capture Mel Gibson's pantomime villain Conrad Stonebanks he retires his ageing team.
This means bringing in some younger fresher blood, much to the annoyance of the oldies. Of course things don't go to plan, and it's not long before Sly is calling on his friends once again.
The main gripe with many people was the PG-13 rating, masses amounts of violence controlled so that no blood is splattered on the screen. This a real shame, as with action films today when the shit hits the fan you want to see some gorerific pay offs, to which in this there are none.
I find it odd that the first two films achieved an R-rating and now they chose to head down the softer route, was this to capture a larger younger audience, probably, but if that is the case then the pay off has back fired slightly.
The new recruits fit in well, Snipes returns to a major blockbuster and relishes the chance to get front and centre, complete with a dig at his recent stint in prison for tax evasion. Harrison Ford steps in as the CIA spook replacing Mr. Church and does a far better job, his gruffness likeable in every way.
The Expendables biggest flaw is that there are too many big names, making it impossible to write enough dialogue for everyone. Dolph Lundgren is all but forgotten, Jet Li still gets a billing despite having less than five minutes of screen time and Arnie delivers the films only decent quip.
The action is certainly big budget but it feels diluted. Planes, trains and automobiles are destroyed in gargantuan fireballs, but there is nothing that we haven't already seen before.At the end of it all it's stupid dumb fun, and what's not to like about that?
With a fourth film very much on the horizon it might be the last chance for this muscle bound team of has beens to go out on a high note, if that is at all possible.

Find what your in this life to do
For so many people the big question in their life is what they are actually here for.
The most difficult part about finding what you love and are passionate about is comparison with others. Well that person is doing that so maybe I could try that; this person looks successful and happy so maybe that is what I should be doing. It is only when we start looking at ourselves and knowing who we are from 'our' point of view that we can really get down to the nitty gritty of what makes us unique.
It is this knowing of our unique qualities we bring to our lives that allow us to channel them into the things we do and start understanding what gifts we brought to share with the world.
You have to really find yourself away from what people have told you about who you are; about the impressions from society; your family and friends. Discover who you are or who you want to be based on how you feel. This connection with self will give you the answers you need to find everything to make you happy and fulfilled.
The answers really are within; our world outside just shows us where we are now not who we are or are going to be.
Dear friend It's my pleasure
Dear friend
It's my pleasure to welcome you. You are now a voice among thousands of voices. I am sure you have a powerful voice to make the world changed.

text: I think you should amend the title of this one, for greater accuracy and international understanding. Reason being, this film was ONLY (to the best of my knowledge) released under this name in the UK. It is a french film, originally titled "Haute Tension" which translates to english as "High Tension," which is the name it was released under in the USA.... and, I would guess, everywhere else. I really hate when they re-title films, which already have perfectly good english titles. It can make them harder to find. For example, if someone reading this article wanted to find the film online. Google the title and see what you come up with. Fortunately, google will give you the proper title. But this is a fairly popular film. Anyway, aside from all that "Switchblade Romance" (the title) is hopelessly campy, and a less adequate description of the film, than the original-- "High Tension." And IMO is nearly a spoiler. Really poor choice. That being said, yes-- this review is dead on. In fact, I'd probably place this higher on the list. One of my favorite horror films. Ever. It absolutely delivers. Also, worth noting-- there is both a subbed AND a dubbed version out there, if you'd rather not have to read the film while you watch it.

Uniquely Japanese game brought down by Gameflyers
posted by TheShiv0724 (NAPA, CA) May 20, 2014
Member since May 2014
13 out of 13 gamers (100%) found this review helpful
This is my first review on GameFly and I really wish it was because I could tell you it was because of how amazing the game is. The truth is, I was urged to write a review out of offense of players not giving this game its due. Hakuoki is not a traditional game, there's no combat or multiplayer scoreboards or living the Male Power Fantasy. This is a Visual Novel, an style of interactive story games rarely seen here in the West with maybe the closest analog being the Phoenix Wright games. Even more so, it's an Otome game, a Japanese term for a game directed at girls, specifically a teen to young adult demographic.
So the fact that most of the reviewers excuse for giving this game a one being "All you do is read," or "You just date Anime guys," is frankly insulting for giving a bad score for WHAT IT'S PURPOSE IS. You watch a story unfold and make occasional decisions that change its outcome, exactly what it says on the box.
As for the story itself, its very well voice acted, though there's no English dub option, graphicly it lacks but the art design makes every Shinesngumi captain look unique and endearing in some way and while the decisions you make don't come as often as they could (and occasionally don't explain exactly what their outcome will cause, resulting with a tendency to Save Scum), the story is engaging, which is important since that's the main focus of an Otome Visual Novel.
All in all, I'd give this game about a 7.5 as it is a very, VERY niche game but does itself well enough. However, as you might see my score above, I'm giving this game a perfect 10 as a hope to make Hakuoki get the true rating it deserves.
It's an Otome game

Great Choose Your Own Adventure Virtual Novel

2 out of 2 gamers (100%) found this review helpful
This game is a remake of sorts, on the original 3DS title. Yes, it's a visual novel. It has a few choices every so often that affect the outcome of the story. The game has 6 routes it can ultimately follow, but numerous endings among those routes. The stories themselves can be very beautiful and moving.
And despite what some others have said, it DOES have a skip option. Or rather, a speed up option that makes going through the "game" again for other routes very handy. It will of course "slow" again automatically when you come to a choice, or dialogue that hasn't been said before. Also, the text speed can be changed via options, so a fast reader isn't hindered by anything other than their own ability to hit the continue button.
As far as looks go, this game is beautiful. It's not animated, but instead relies on gorgeous still pictures, or the classic 3D character models on screen while "speaking". The game portrays the atmosphere well within this medium.
As far as what this game has above it's 3DS predecessor, there's plenty. It has content that was never seen outside of Japan. There are MANY new side events to read through, many being humorous or just plain cute! Also, there are side events for characters that weren't featured as one of the "bachelors".
Keeping in mind that this IS a Virtual Novel, and it IS intended for a female audience, this game really is great. It also makes me hopeful that we'll see more virtual novels come this way, and not just otome games. I recommend this for any otome or book fan. Or for any girl looking for entertainment that doesn't have to come from slashing their enemies with a sword.

The story was interesting at first, but it began to get very long winded and the "choose" part was few and far between.
If you like to read A LOT, then you might enjoy this "game". I'm going to give it a 2, and that's being nice.

A visual Romance Novel, and Little Else
posted by Leo_Bottoms (LA HABRA, CA) Aug 3, 2014
Member since Jan 2013
And as far as visual novels go, this is one that certainly wouldn't appeal to my heterosexual tastes as the main character is a girl crossdressing in feudal Japan who can romance one of six different love interests. Wacky Shenanigans to ensue! But the wackiness that would encourage further reading is bogged down by aforementioned needless explanations. Luckily, the in-game encyclopedia is helpful to anyone who isn't familiar with the time period or the phrases used, which makes the game more enriching than standard visual novel fare possibly.
On it's own as a game, however, it's guaranteed to give hours of fun same as a book would, but it'd be one of those corny romance novels with the Hercules in a torn shirt on the cover. So if you're into that kinda thing, then this'll be the best you'll come across on Gamefly, possibly.

Celgene Will Discontinue Phase III ORIGIN® Trial In Previously Untreated Elderly Patients With B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Celgene Corporation (NASDAQ: CELG) today announced that after consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Celgene will discontinue treatment with REVLIMID ® (lenalidomide) in the open-label, phase III ORIGIN® trial, which enrolled 450 patients in over 100 sites in 26 countries. An imbalance was observed in the number of deaths in patients treated with lenalidomide versus patients treated with chlorambucil.
The FDA placed the ORIGIN study on clinical hold on July 12, 2013, with the discontinuation of lenalidomide treatment. All clinical investigators in ongoing chronic lymphocytic leukemia studies using lenalidomide will be officially advised of this action and instructed to inform their patients accordingly.
REVLIMID is not approved as a treatment for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
The ORIGIN study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide versus chlorambucil as single agent in elderly patients ≥ 65 years of age with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and with comorbidities that precluded treatment with more aggressive standard chemo-immunotherapies, including fludarabine and bendamustine containing regimens. The majority of patients presented with multiple comorbidities, such as diabetes, congestive heart failure, renal impairment and elevated bilirubin count.Based on an imbalance in deaths, specifically 34 deaths out of 210 patients in the lenalidomide arm compared to 18 deaths out of 211 patients in the chlorambucil arm, FDA placed the study on clinical hold. No specific causality for this imbalance has been identified to date. Results from the CLL-008 study will be presented at an upcoming medical conference. All other Celgene-sponsored chronic lymphocytic leukemia clinical trials with lenalidomide are continuing in accordance with their respective protocols. About REVLIMID ® REVLIMID is approved in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy, in nearly 70 countries, encompassing Europe, the Americas, the Middle-East and Asia, and in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of patients whose disease has progressed after one therapy in Australia and New Zealand.

For very distant similarity pyramids, starts surprisingly similar to Chanel number 5 colonies. But here, unlike in history with Emerald / Shalimar, Chanel walks ahead, and not just in еру time. L'Aimant softer and fragility. Very gentle and girlish perfume

MDs dont own the physician title
- 2Jul 5, '13 by platon20I think there is a lot of confusion on this board about titles. MDs do NOT own the physician title.
In fact, it has been legal for years for a chiropractor to call himself a "chiropractic physician"
Pharmacists, DPTs, and anybody else with a doctoral degree can also use the "physician" title.
In 20 years DNPs will be able to introduce themselves as a "nurse-physician" and it will be totally normal and acceptable.
- 1Jul 5, '13 by BlueDevil,DNPagree, NPs will be free to use their doctoral titlesLast edit by BlueDevil,DNP on Jul 5, '13
- 11Jul 5, '13 by IcySageNurseUm, I don't think "physician" has anything to do with doctoral level education...nor have I ever heard of a pharmacist calling themselves a physician. I think, in fact, that only MDs and DOs may call themselves physicians. It is in fact a protected title.
Perhaps you're thinking of "doctor" - which anyone with a PhD can call themselves, including a "doctor of nursing" degree holder..
Ugh. The things you people post on here...
- 0Jul 5, '13 by ashevilleboxerInteresting
- 6Jul 5, '13 by IcySageNurseThe Joint Commission has revised the definition of physi-
cian and, as a result of this change, several elements of per-
formance (EPs). These changes apply to the hospital program
and are effective July 1, 2009. Previously, the Comprehensive
Accreditation Manual for Hospitals contained two entries for the
term physician: (1) a doctor of medicine or osteopathy and (2)
as defined by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
(CMS) in section 482.12(c)(1) of the Hospital Conditions of
Participation. The revised definition eliminates the first entry
and replaces the second entry to reflect the CMS definition of
physician as found in Section 1861(r) of the Social Security
Act. This definition more accurately reflects expectations of
CMS for deemed status purposes. The revised entry for the
term physician in the "Glossary" chapter of the Comprehensive
Accreditation Manual for Hospitals is noted in the box below.
Generally, the term includes the following individuals, as
authorized by state law and regulation:
● Doctor of medicine or osteopathy
● Doctor of dental surgery or dental medicine
● Doctor of podiatric medicine
● Doctor of optometry
● Chiropractor
Why do NP's want to be called physicians exactly? How many toes does this profession wish to step on? This power grab will eventually end very badly.
- 3Jul 5, '13 by BlueDevil,DNPI assumed that is what she meant, I even autocorrected it in my head!
- 3Jul 6, '13 by nomadcrnaI'm hoping she meant Doctor. Otherwise you are totally wrong about the physician title.
I don't think she is a NP, I could be wrong but from reading her other posts.
Not much credibility.Last edit by nomadcrna on Jul 6, '13
- 2Jul 6, '13 by mingornWhy would you want to be called Dr.? I think the only people who care are academia or people with massive inferiority complexes. Let the physicians have the term, they earned it.
- 3Jul 6, '13 by nomadcrnaNot true. I earned the right to be called Dr.
I'm not in academia and have no issues with inferiority complexes. Although, it sounds as if you may be harboring some inferiority issues.

Emmy Wish List: Lead Actress in a Comedyby Dan Forcella at . Comments
With nominations for the 2012 Emmy Awards scheduled to be announced by Nick Offerman and Kerry Washington on July 19, staff writer Dan Forcella is here to give you a quick overview of each category, his predictions for the 2012 nominations and his Emmy Wish Lists for who ought to be on the ballot.
We've already covered Lead Actor Comedy, and now it's on to that category's counterpart...
Today we'll take a look at the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series race. A category truly stacked with the Academy's favorites, I can imagine last year's winner, Melissa McCarthy, not even making the six woman field. Instead, watch for Golden Globe winner Laura Dern, long-time Emmy favorite Julia-Louis Dreyfus or the best darn politician in Indiana to vie for the crown.
Laura Dern - Enlightened
Zooey Deschanel - New Girl
Tina Fey - 30 Rock
Laura Linney - The Big C
Julia Louis-Dreyfus - Veep
Amy Poehler - Parks and Recreation
Poehler has been nominated in either lead or supporting the past four years, but is yet to take home the trophy. Tina Fey has won it before, I thought Laura Linney was sure to win last year and Zooey Deschanel is on everyone's radar, so the competition is stronger than ever.
Emmy Wish List
Rachel Bilson - Hart of Dixie
The decision to put Hart of Dixie in the comedy race is interesting, but since it's here, I can't think of anyone I'd rather see nominated than Bilson. I might have enjoyed her Zoe Hart even more than Summer Roberts!
Courteney Cox - Cougar Town
As Cougar Town continues to develop into a great comedy, Cox's portrayal of Jules grows along with it. Whether it's her need to have the cul de sac crew around her 24/7, the constant grape crushing, or her belittling of Tom, Jules is a joy to watch every week.
Zooey Deschanel - New Girl
Viewers may have stayed for Schmidt, but we all began watching the FOX hit for Zooey's very adorkable qualities. With every awkward moment, or strange relationship quirk, I fell further and further for Deschanel.
Jane Levy - Suburgatory
Whether it's her love of New York City, her hatred for everything Chatswin, or the sincere relationships that she continued to build, Tessa Altman was a joy to watch every week, and Levy's charming performance was a big reason why.
Laura Linney - The Big C
Like I said earlier, I thought Linney was going to and should have won this award last year, but McCarthy swooped in and stole it. This time around, I'd really like to see her at least be in the running for a second straight season of fantastic comedic and dramatic work.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus - Veep
We loved her as Elaine, she was great as Old Christine, but playing the Vice President of the United States might be JLD's best performance to date. Something so simple as the way she asks if the President has called will make you double over in joy.
Now it's your turn TV Fanatics! Who would make your Emmy Wish List for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series?
Dan Forcella is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow him on Twitter.Tags: Emmy Awards
"Girls" might be the show to come along and upset everything (Lena Dunham will definitely score a nomination and perhaps it will for a best Comedy Series as well).
I don't know - I think Amy Poehler is a more likely candidate than Zooey Deschanel. Zooey is cute and adorable - she is essentially her character. But she's not what makes New Girl funny. That would be Schmidt... That being said - I agree with most of your wishlist except for Rachel Bilson.
@Shawn: Amy Poehler is an actress not a character...just to clear that up. @Tom: This was an insanely tough list to crack. Amy Poehler doesn't do it for me. Zooey's performance is adorable and funny, whereas Poehler's - like most of Parks and Rec - just isn't. It's a really overrated series right now, but that is just one man's opinion. Who else would make YOUR list, other than Poehler? There's a lot of talent out there, am I right?
Amy Poehler may be my most hated character on tv. her smugness is out of control. you can tell in every thing she says that she thinks it is so funny. sorry amy, it's not, and you are flat out annoying. i agree with the reviewer in disregarding her.
Oh no, Dan, I'm so disappointed. I thought you were one of the few people at TV Fanatic I could trust not have such lousy opinions. Sure Zooey Deschanel is adorable, but we're talking BEST acting, nor cutest. And you think she deserves it more than Amy Poehler? So, so disappointed, man.
Yeah good deal...fyi, White is on the supporting ballot.
Never mind, I just read the article again :-D
Actress in a comedy wish list:
Betty White, Hot in Cleveland (winner)
Jane Levy, Suburgatory
Nancy Travis, Last Man Standing
Kat Dennings, 2 Broke Girls
Patricia Heaton, The Middle
Christa Miller, Cougar Town
Melissa McCarthy, Mike and Molly
I know its seven, but I couldn't choose! (: Melissa McCarthy should at least be in your predictions, as she won last year's Emmy!

Advanced Search
Total School Solutions and Helm Solutions Group have recently teamed up to release iSchoolFinder.com version 3, a resource aimed at helping school districts forecast future student enrollment.
The new Web-based platform uses Google Maps technology in conjunction with current-year enrollment data to help schools project future enrollment numbers for class size and budgetary planning. During a demonstration with the Twin Rivers Unified School District, the companies were able to load, map, and forecast 2009-2010 enrollments with 99 percent accuracy.
"HSG has taken our ideas and quickly turn them into successful solutions for education," Tahir Ahad, president of TSS, in a prepared statement. "They help us design and build systems one version at a time and deliver real value to our clients."
The companies are already planning future releases of iSchoolFinder.com to include additional features such as bus route management and "enhanced multi-year forecasting."

Toby Keith Foundation opens OK Kids Korral
Updated On: Nov 21 2013 08:59:18 PM CST
Toby Ketih, well known for his country music and often seen on the sideline at University of Oklahoma football games, was in the spotlight for a different reason Thursday.
The Toby Keith Foundation opened the OK Kids Korral Thursday morning.
"This was a need that Oklahoma needed," Keith said. "This is 10 times bigger than I ever could have imagined."
The home means families caring for the smallest victims of cancer will have a place to stay, free of charge, while children receive treatment at a nearby hospital.
"This will be a place of hope, of community hope," Keith said.
The idea for the home came after a close family friend of Keith's lost a toddler to cancer.
"I've seen it firsthand, to have to lose half of your income while one parent tends to the sick kid and the other one has to work," Keith said.
The OK Kids Korral beams with Sooner State pride, from the state bird to hanging artwork made of the shapes of all 77 Oklahoma counties.
"Every wall, every corner, it's been built with love, and you can tell that God is ever-present," Keith said.

WALLA WALLA -- The roughly 100-foot-long by 32-foot-high indoor pseudo-cliff, which is considered by some to be the best facility of its type in the Pacific Northwest, was crawling with climbers from several regional universities for the first time on Saturday.
About 100 bouldering competitors took part in the 19th Annual Sweet Onion Crank competition at Whitman College.
While the competition was not the first for the campus, it was the first time the college allowed the new indoor climbing facility to be used by all Pacific Northwest college students wanting to compete, including South Puget Sound Community College student Jimmy Chulich.
"I am a rock climber. I don't climb mountains. I stick to rocks," Chulich joked, but was also serious about the common misnomer of calling rock climbers mountain climbers.
For a brief moment, Chulich's attention was drawn to a fellow climber attempting a difficult route along an overhang.
Then the climber fell from the overhang onto the soft mat below.
"Usually what I lack in strength I can make up in technique, but that is a huge overhang," Chulich said.
Bouldering is the more accurate word for what Chulich and numerous other climbers are doing more and more these days, usually with nothing more than a mat they carry to remote location for a soft landing, a special pair of light sneakers that look like low-top wrestling shoes, and usually a small bag that hangs from the back of the waist that is loaded with chalk to help their grip.
In the winter, however, bouldering is hard to do in the Pacific Northwest, unless you have access to an indoor facility like Whitman's.
On Saturday, access to the new indoor facility was given to all college students who wanted to compete in the Sweet Onion Crank.
According to Whitman College Outdoor Program Director Brien Sheedy, the first 17 Sweet Onion Crank competitions were open to the public, not just college students. But when the new indoor facility opened 21 months ago, college officials chose to limit access to students only. So last year's Sweet Onion Crank was only for Whitman College students.
This year, the ropes were loosened to allow dozens of other non-Whitman college students a chance to hang out and compete at the Whitman climbing wall, as well as socialize.
"It has a strong sense of community, but is also a lot of difficulty," competitor Charlotte Hill said, while studying the wall and watching other climbers attempt the route she would take in a few minutes.
How the competition works is climbers can attempt any of the 59 color coded routes that vary in difficulty and points ranging from 150 to 700. The goal is to follow the exact holding spots to hit a square mark about 12 feet off the ground.
The climbers are given roughly two hours to make as many attempts as they wish, though making too many climbs can often lead to fatigued muscles and failed attempts.
"It's about conserving your energy and determining your style. It's not about time, it's about difficulty," Chulich said.
The Whitman College climbing wall is made of a substance called Durastone, which looks and feels similar to the pseudo-rock edging often found on decorative housing trim.
In addition to the 5,600 square feet of climbing wall, the college also offers a large number of courses, up to 12 per semester, Sheedy said, adding there is a waiting list for many of the classes.
"It's an activity that can be done individually or with a group. It's an activity you can do all your life or outdoors. This is just the tip of the iceberg," Sheedy said.
