PSU Altoona Second Degree Program
- 0Nov 28, '10 by tscharfHi all! I applied to Penn State Altoona for their second degree program and received a letter that says I won't hear from them until possibly March. Is this common for them? Does anyone know what GPA they are looking for? I'm still taking a few courses (3 this semester and one in the spring.) Would that effect it? Thanks!
- 0Nov 30, '10 by megan_EMTBecause I'm a Penn State student, I've only been able to send the email that says "I intend to file for re-enrollment" so I haven't gotten a letter yet. I'm afraid it's going to hurt me that I'm a biology major (which is super hard) instead of something easier (I have a 4.0 in two minors...).
- 0Nov 30, '10 by RNMommy11Hey there, I just happened to see this thread, and thought I would jump in....I am currently in the PSU-Altoona second degree program (graduating December '11). If admissions are like last year, it is still too early to hear anything...if I remember correctly, I got my acceptance letter at the end of February, or maybe even into March? I have the letter filed somewhere- if I can dig it out, I will let you know when it was, lol! I know I was on pins and needles waiting for that darn letter to come, so I feel your pain!
If you have any questions about the program itself, please feel free to contact me here; our class has a Facebook group if you want to "meet" the rest of us, and I know the class before us also has a group, so between the two of us, hopefully we can answer questions for you!
Good luck to you....hopefully we will be welcoming you next fall!
- 0Dec 1, '10 by RNMommy11Hmmm, where do I start? I really do think this is a great program...are there challenges? Sure. We are all coming from very different backgrounds and situations, and when you add in the stress of nursing school in general, it is difficult- I won't lie to you. I think one of the keys is to work together as a class to help each other out- the professors we have had so far are wonderful at doing everything they can to help us, but at the end of the day, we are the ones that have to put in the work to learn the information. For me personally, it is all about time management- I am married, and have 2 kids (7 year old and a 1 year old), so balancing everything can be difficult, but I find a way to make it work.
For this semester, we are taking 5 classes- Patho, Pharm, Fundamentals, Health Assessment, and a Wellness class that only lasted for 7 weeks. I am not sure if these will be exactly the same for next year's class, because there are some curriculum updates going on right now. We have clinicals on Tuesdays, so that is an early morning (we start at 0630 those days)- clinical paperwork is very time consuming, but the overall clinical experience has been great. All of our professors try to coordinate their lectures so that we are learning the same system in each class, so the information makes more sense. It isn't always exact, but it's been pretty close; plus we have a really great simulation lab where we can practice skills on mannequins. These manniquins are kind of cool....they can be programmed to do almost anything; you can practice anything from doing a head to toe assessment, delivering a baby, or listening to abnormal lung sounds- and your mannequin can respond to you. While it isn't the same as working with a "real" patient, it is a good way to introduce skills!
Let's see...not sure if you have specific questions? Feel free to ask away... I'll do my best to answer what I can!
- 0Dec 1, '10 by tscharfWhat hours do you have classes this semester? (I know it is not what we'd have next year, just trying to get an idea of the hours spent on campus.) What hospitals/clinics do you/will you be traveling to? I'm sorry, I have a million questions I'd like to ask - I can't wait for February to get here so I can get an answer about acceptance! Thanks for your time and patience!
- 0Dec 1, '10 by RNMommy11No worries about questions- I had TONS of questions before I got started (and I still do, lol!) For this semester, here is what our typical week looks like: M: 9-10:50 lecture, lunch break, 12-2:50 lecture. Monday nights we have to go to our clinical site and preassess our patient that we are assigned to for the next day...this takes a good couple of hours. T: (clinical day): 6:30-1:30 W: 8:30-11:20 lecture, lunch break, 12:20-2:20 lecture Th: 8:30-11:20 lecture, lunch break, 12:20-2:20 lecture F: off This was for the first half of the semester...then our lecture on W/Th afternoon was finished, so we are now done those days at 11:20. I'm not sure if you know the area well or not, but right now we are just at Nason or Altoona Hospital since we are doing med-surge. Next semester we will have clinical twice a week; one at a hospital, and then we also have a nursing home rotation, and community rotation, where we will be traveling to different places each week. Next semesters class time looks to increase a good bit- I think we have Mon: 8-3, Tues: 6:30-4:30, Wed: 6:30-4:30, Thurs: 8:30-4:30, and then Friday off until after Spring Break. Should be interesting, lol. It can get overwhelming at times, but it will all be worth it in the end!

An arbitrator has ordered Gov. Pat Quinn to cancel his plan to lay off state employees and close several prisons and mental facilities.
Arbitrator Edwin Benn ruled Monday that Quinn's plan would violate his agreement with a major union. The Democratic governor signed a deal last year that promised no layoffs or closures if the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees agreed to various cost-cutting measures.
Quinn says that lawmakers haven't given him enough money to run state government and he is now forced to make cuts.
But the arbitrator says that doesn't make any difference. Benn says the state's agreement isn't canceled because it now claims financial problems.
Quinn is likely to appeal. He is already fighting a similar ruling over canceling union raises.

At Kentucky Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons Drs. Thad Schulten, W. Ronald Harris, and Timothy Acord and their team of certified assistants use the latest techniques and technology to perform a variety of procedures. They specialize in treatments ranging from dental-implant surgery and wisdom-tooth removal to corrective jaw surgery, and monitor patients before, during, and after surgeries that feature intravenous (IV) sedation or outpatient general anesthesia. The skilled surgeons can also remove excess folds or under-eye bags with eyelid surgery, and use surgical or nonsurgical treatments to address sleep apnea resulting from an albatross-obstructed airflow.
Dr. Gary L. Griffin and his team follow a philosophy of treating each patient as an individual, so much so that they refer to each patient as their guest. Dr. Griffin's office schedules only one appointment at a time, giving each guest a heaping dose of undivided attention and virtually eliminating long wait times and attempts to break the land speed record for thumb twiddling. Once inside the sunny yellow treatment room, guests can relax in the thickly cushioned office chair amid an arsenal of up-to-date equipment such as laser dental technology and a flat-screen TV. During initial appointments, Dr. Griffin looks deeply into medical histories and works with guests to develop custom treatment plans to fit their needs and expectations.
At Advanced Dental Center, dentist Rachel Talis and her team keep smiles healthy and beautiful. Dr. Talis graduated from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, and went on to complete advanced training in areas such as cosmetic dentistry, advanced restorative options, and the treatment of gum disease. She also performs Boost teeth-whitening sessions that erase stains from smoking, drinking coffee, or mistaking a fountain pen for black licorice.
With a focus on preventative health care, Generations Family Dentistry maintains mouthy mashers while fashioning sparkling smiles with teeth-whitening services. During a thorough exam, teeth are checked for cavities and other ailments with both keen human eyes and the keener eyes of an x-ray, capable of detecting mouth miscreants hiding beneath gum lines and invisibility cloaks. After that, Dr. Greenwell starts the Zoom! whitening process by applying a lightening gel containing hydrogen peroxide that's then activated with a special light and readings from an ancient tome. In the roughly 45-minute process, the gel penetrates the teeth to break up stains, potentially leaving teeth gleaming up to eight shades brighter while erasing "Wash Me" signs left by mischievous tonsils.
SmileCare Family Dentistry has yet to receive many online reviews, but here are a few patient testimonials provided by the practice:
State of the Art Dentistry's skillful tooth mechanics enable chompers to stay strong and attractive for decades of successful apple bobbing. During a low-stakes interview with Dr. Morris or Dr. Wright, the dentist will introduce herself to the patient's enamel and discuss dental and medical history, lifestyle, and any overall mouth-health concerns. Then, mouths enjoy a gentle but thorough oral examination (a $75 value) and cleaning (a $60 value). A friendly staff member will take photos (a $15 value) and low-radiation digital x-rays (a $92 value) to reveal any subterranean issues or burrowing gummy worms, and clients are welcome to relax afterward in black modern sofas surrounded by cherrywood-hued walls and smile for as long as they like into a hand mirror. The take-home whitening kit includes customized trays and whitening gel (a $250 value).

.- Archbishop Fernando Filoni, the Vatican's deputy secretary of state will now lead the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.
The 65-year-old Italian cleric has held his present job for the past four years. He will be replaced by the apostolic nuncio to Cuba, Archbishop Giovanni Angelo Becciu.
Pope Benedict XVI appointed Archbishop Feloni to his present job back in June 2007. Prior to that he spent three decades as a Vatican diplomat in Sri Lanka, Iran, Brazil, the Philippines and later, to Iraq.
It was there in 2006 he was nearly killed after a car bomb exploded next to the papal nunciature.
Archbishop Giovanni Angelo Becciu, the new deputy secretary of state, is 62 years old and originally from Pattada on the Italian island of Sardinia. He was ordained a priest in 1972.
The role of deputy secretary of state - or "sustituto" in Italian - is crucial to the running of any papacy. His role includes the posting of nuncios around the world, making curial appointments in Rome as well as advising and traveling with the Pope himself.
Since 1984, Archbishop Becciu has also been part of the Vatican's diplomatic service which has taken him to nunciatures in Angola, New Zealand, Britain, France, the United States and presently Cuba.

Missouri City To Vote On Proposed Casino Project
Isle of Capri Casinos Inc. has estimated its Cape Girardeau project would cost $125 million to develop and employ 450 to 500 people. In an application to state gambling regulators, Isle of Capri predicts it will attract 1 million visitors per year from six states and boost city and county tax rolls by $3 million.
The de facto capital of southeastern Missouri, Cape Girardeau has a population of 38,000 and is located about halfway between St. Louis and Memphis, Tenn. Unemployment in the region is high, at 8.2 percent, but it's lower than the state's overall rate of 9.3 percent.
Business has flourished along a highway cutting through the city, where chain restaurants, hotels and new developments have sprung up.
But the city's downtown has struggled, and vacant buildings are interspersed among Main Street's eateries, bars and antique shops. The problem is most evident in the downtown area near the proposed casino site, where boarded up buildings and some rundown houses are separated from an empty field by a road. The casino would go where an old factory once produced shoes.Summers said the hope is that the casino will help spark the downtown district. He says the key for supporters is to ensure voters know what the casino could bring to Cape Girardeau. "There's ethical and moral arguments, but from a business standpoint, I think it's pretty cut and dry," Summers said. "If this were a Walmart or some other type of organization, I don't think there would be the opposition." But it is a casino, and that is a big problem for some. "For a gambling casino boat to succeed in Cape, thousands of people are going to have to lose millions of dollars," said Austin, who refers to a casino as a "cancerous growth" that would bring a lot of problems.

Indiscipline Plagues PF in Eastern Province
The recently appointed Patriotic Front (PF) Eastern Province Chairperson Atanny Mwamba concedes that the ruling party is wrought with deep divisions and wanton indiscipline.
He said he divisions and indiscipline was largely being perpetuated by his predecessor Lameck Mangani.
Mwamba, who was hand-picked by President Michael Sata recently after Wynter Kabimba's recommendation, said the PF was greatly divided adding that the divisions created camps that were responsible for the harassment of other party members especially in eastern province.
Speaking from Chipata, Mwamba said a lot of wrongs were perpetuated by Lameck Mangani's provincial executive committee, but he begged the ruling party members in the east to forget about Mangani because he was no longer a factor in the ruling party's politics and its structures.
Lameck Mangani, who was also hand-picked by party secretary general Wynter to represent the entire eastern province after suspending the other members of the provincial team was sarcastically removed from his portfolio after it was realized that he was responsible for a the major squabbles and other intra party tensions.
Some PF members in eastern province were plotting to have Lameck Mangani completely hounded out of the ruling party, but Mwamba said he would not allow that to happen but Mangani would find himself irrelevant to the party and resign.
Mwamba said he had special instructions from 'senior' party officials to re-organise the ruling party in eastern province because its fortunes were nose-diving.
He said in the recent past, PF members in eastern province were in bondage, but his assuming the top leadership had liberated the cadres who must forgive perpetrators of evil and selfish deeds in the past.
"My appointment had come at a time when things were bad. I want to rejuvenate the party and bring in fresh air so that we can stop beating each other because we are members of the same family. I want the cadres to move on and bring stability in the party here in eastern province," he said.
Mr Mwamba told the meeting that included Chipata District Commissioner Kalunga Zulu that those people with permanent grudges against the previous leadership should burry them in order to foster unity in the party.
Mwamba bemoaned that there was a horde of unemployed youths who acted as hired thugs against PF members among the warring factions and these youths, commonly called 'Jimbos', were responsible for the beating of critical members.
He said there was no order in the PF in eastern province because the party was in the hands of people belonging to different factions within itself, adding that in a democracy, individuals with different views must be tolerated, but this was happening in the PF.
Last week, Michael Sata removed Lameck Mangani from the position of eastern province chairperson upon Wynter Kabimba's recommendation. This was after a group of drunk PF youths disrupted Kabimba's meetings in Chipata, but it was realized Mangani was responsible for the intra party confusion.
There have been intra party divisions in the ruling PF in eastern province. Some party members attributed the squabbles to secretary general who was using Lameck Mangani to advance his presidential ambitions.

You might aswell just go with 3200DDR at the mo, as you said.
Hi guys,
Now I don't normally have anything to do with SIMS but....
The secretary at one of my schools had been struggling to get her year end procedure in SIMS.NET completed. She has contacted SIMS and they have basically said that the machine is not up to the task anymore.
SQL Server is at 100% constantly while the procedure is running and basically the machine konks out.
A Capita Techie remoted into the machine and said the PC is too slow!
It is a P4 1.8Ghz with 512Mb of Ram. I suggested a Ram upgrade to 1Gb, but apparently it still won't do.
She is panicking because she needs to complete her year-end procedure asap (she has been trying since last week!) so want's me to get her a new PC ASAP. Dell (Capita) will not deliver a machine in time, so I said I would get my local computer place to custom build me on with a 3 year warrenty where I can pick it up for her on Monday.
Based on a rough Capita Spec I have come up with:
Pentium 4 Dual Core 2 x 3Ghz,
2Gb DDR2 Ram (Corsair top quality Twinx,)
200Gb Seagate SATA2 HDD
Asus motherboard
Athlon X2 4200+
Asus Motherboard,
2Gb DDR Ram (Corsair top quality Twinx,)
36Gb WD Rapter (OS Drive)
250Gb SATA2 HDD (Date)
Both come with the gigabit lan, firewire etc etc etc.
The Athlon system I know will be much faster then the Intel, but is the difference noticable in SIMS.NET? Can Sims take advantage of the Dual Cores?
The price difference between the systems is about £250 more for the AMD.
The shop said that they can use the new AM2 format for the Athlon system so it uses DDR2 800Mhz Ram, but I might just stick with PC3200 DDR, since the AM2 platform is very new and might have stability issues (but it seems that if the right Ram is used your fine)
Any ideas?
AM2 is not hugely different technology in terms of other hardware, it just seems to make ddr2 work that bit better.....
You might aswell just go with 3200DDR at the mo, as you said.
here's some more:
Does the school in question not have an SLA MIS agreement with the local authority?
If so they should have sorted it by now. In my dealings with the Sims.net every school in County Durham has an SLA with Durham LEA. I myself have just the MIS SLA in place which is really a pittance per year. Well worth the money.
Just updating the thread
The school has no SLA MIS agreement with the local authority - -they just have to deal with Capita direct.
In the end the school went for the AMD based system and it flies! Also makes use of the AMD Cool'n Quiet technology so that it uses less power when the PC s not being used and can throttle back performance for less demanding tasks.
Just need a better back up solution.
Thanks to everyone that contributed!
Just out interest, did Capita advise that the original server spec was inadequate? Their hardware recommendations on supportnet are 1.5GHz and 512mb RAM minimum/1GB recommended. The only time I've been told different by CES, is when an update has broken something, and are playing for time.
The reason I ask, is that I'm planning to move SIMS to a different server to provide better redundancy. 3P4/1GB RAM (although the RAM could probably do with an increase).
If Capita are going to change their minimum specs, I'd be interested to see them. cheers.
I would openly recommend that if you are running any server as a DB server then stick as much RAM in as you can ...
We will be moving to a new box next financial year and it will have at least 2 Gig ...
Then again, we are also looking at the new Quad Core kit coming from Dell soon to allow us to get Virtualisation going ... up to 16 Gig of RAM and 4 sockets ...
It may even be the server running things on the EduGeek stand at BETT ... all say "oooohhhhh"
And then all say 'Ahhhhhhhh'! :laughing5:
'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew' hehe its a Dell, so it don't please me i'm afraid.

St. Louis Style Pizza
Call me strange or bizarre, but every now and then I am in the mood for a Saint Louis style pizza. I use to go to Saint Louis on business trips quite often and had what my coworkers and I would call "cracker pizza." The crust was ultra thin and crispy.
I no longer go to Saint Louis for business, so I'm looking for something closer. Can anything remotely like that be found in the Boston area or do I have to wait for an excuse to visit Saint Louis?
Never been to St. Louis, but I do like Emma's Pizza in Kendall Square, Cambridge, and that's about how I'd describe their crust. Toppings are good, and a fun place, too.
Emma's Pizza
40 Hampshire St, Cambridge, MA 02139
re: 9lives
All a matter of opinion, of course, but I think of those three Emma's comes closest--Picco's I think of as more of a Neapolitan style pizza and Cambridge One is almost on a soft flatbread. Both are great, to be sure, but different than that thin, crispy crust of St. Louis style. Perhaps Emma's could make you a simple pepperoni and cut it in squares and you'd be more than halfway there. I looked if Donato's, a chain I grew up eating in Cincinnati, has come this far east but they have not. It is also not straight St. Louis style but is closer than most other things I have had.
re: hckybg
I agree - Emma's is close to Imo's/St Louis style but way fancier and yuppie-er (my best friend's hometown...I have visited several times). How about any decent Boston bar pizza? Does any come close? I feel like I've sampled some examples that might fit the St Louis model; however, it's bar pizza, so memories are fuzzy.
I chuckled about the Donato's reference...my hubby is from OH and I was disappointed by Donato's (Akron), thus crushing his heart.
re: digga
To be honest, Donato's was actually a latecomer to my regional pizza experience. In Cincinnati there is the even more obscure LaRosa's, which never really expanded outside the metropolitan region. Known for its fairly bland crust, tangy sauce, and provolone, most Cincinnatians love it (or at least have a Proustian affection for it) while most everyone else who comes to it late finds it extremely disappointing. But I'll always have a place in my heart for it, and perhaps for Donato's too (100 pepperonis on every pizza!!).
More on topic, you may just be better off making your own St. Louis style pizza because I have a very hard time thinking of anything that comes even remotely close to the weird mix of cheese and extremely thin, hypothetically crispy crust. My favorite Slice blog post of all time attempts to capture at least 21 of the American regional pizza variations. Some are very obscure!
re: hckybg
agree, Emma's comes closest in crust. the cheese is the "hard" part.
It's been a while since I've been to Picco; so maybe my memory is off. I remember it as very thin but I'll take your word for it if you know it as the Neapolitan style.
being a born and bred NYer, my first St Louis pizza was a real WTF moment..:) but I grew to have a fondness for it..toasted ravioli anyone?..:)
re: 9lives
Had Picco three times in the last few months and it is definitely more of a Neapolitan crust than the cracker-thin style the OP is looking for.
Have you tried Flatbread Company? Not sure it is what you are describing as St. Louis style, but it is v. crispy, v. flat, and I would say "cracker-like" (at least the couple I had were). They are a growing chain specializing in organic with locations in Somerville, MA (this is new one I believe), Amesbury, MA, Martha's Vineyard, NH, and Hawaii. Use wood fired ovens. Also have nice salads and some desserts.
Flatbread Company
138 Congress St, Portsmouth, NH 03801
Flatbread isn't quite what I'm looking for (the crust isn't nearly crispy enough), but we do like going there. I'll try your suggestions bear and 9lives. Thanks!
Is this the same as grilled pizza? Bob & Timmy's, in Providence, has outstanding grilled pizza.
Also, the pizza at Mistral is super thin and crispy.
I don't know anything about pizza in Boston, but IMO the key to STL style pizza is the cheese, and for better or for worse, you're not going to find Provel outside of the greater STL area. My husband is from STL and drags me to Imo's or a similar place every time we visit - I find the pizza unappealing yet weirdly addictive. I've had lots of other pizzas that have similar crusts, but no other cheese tastes or melts like Provel. You can mail order it I think, though, and make your own!!!
re: biondanonima
Imo's and Talayna's, oh my!
I agree about the provel being key. Looks like you can order it for overnight delivery from Viviano's:
re: STL BOS
If you ever on the North Shore, try Calitri's or Sam and Joe's in Danvers. Cracker thin crust and decent toppings. For a really thin bar pizza (personal size) try Monte's in Lynn. Really amazing value for the price they charge and very thin crust
re: Cheffrank
I was also going to chime in and recommend Sam and Joe's. I think Sam and Joe's crust is thinner than Calitri's. They also use a special sort of cheese on their pizza. But it's not Provel - which I had never heard of (had to google it). sounds quite interesting to use on a pizza.
I was fascinated to learn of a regional style of pizza I'd never previously heard about. In Googling provel -- which I never heard of either -- I ran across this definition of St. Louis Pizza in the Urban Dictionary (which is both educational and funny as hell). I include it purely for fun:
"1. St. Louis Style Pizza
A nasty concoction consisting of extremely thin, tasteless cardboard-like crust slathered in runny cheap salty pizza sauce and topped with gooey St. Louis-exclusive cheese called Provel that looks and tastes like melted Velveeta. While many St. Louisans inexplicably love this crap, don't let them con you into thinking it's real pizza – it isn't! Imo's is probably the most famous type of this stuff - stay away!
Example: While visiting Sally in St. Louis, she tried to get me to eat St. Louis style pizza. I told her that I'd rather die a slow death.''
Louis Pizza
RR 108, Plaistow, NH 03865
re: katzzz
I don't know the history but it tastes - and looks - similar to frozen pizza and I can't help but think that was the source.
Oh, no offense but the memory of provel still gives me the shudders! FWIW, I've never seen it here.
Odd, too, cos I actually like velveeta (under certain circumstances), but provel is a cheeze of a different horse. :P
Thanks everyone for the replies, particularly for the ones North of Boston as that is where I live and it's easier for me to get to Danvers. I'll try Sam and Joe's this weekend.
I agree the Provel is unlikely unless I make a pizza myself. At this point I'm looking for texture more than the Provel, though there's nothing wrong with it!

This is also why Manning had to dink and dunk to save himself so much. People have missed this totally. The Oline is awful and I said Peyton was a fool to fo to the Broncos for this reason.
He was likely deceived as well because Tebow's running ability protected him in the pocket so much. Teams were forcing Tebow to stay in the pocket and randomly attacking him there which made the oline look good at times and Tebow look bad at times.
Peyton also went through something else similar to Tebow.. they both had McGahee and Moreno get injured at the end of the season screwing them as well. The Broncos run game is highly overrated for this reason. McGahee played the end of the season but was a shell even of himself because he was injured... that's like a shell of a shell.. This was when Tebow lost the last 4 games.

Asthma (AZ-muh) is a chronic disease that affects your airways, which are the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways are inflamed (swollen). The inflammation (IN-fla-MAY-shun) makes the airways very sensitive, and they tend to react strongly to things to which you are allergic or find irritating. When the airways react, they get narrower and less air flows through to your lung tissues. This causes symptoms like wheezing (a whistling so...
Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) is a traditional medicinal herb which is found in many old gardens, and is also occasionally grown for ornament. It is also commonly seen in the literature by its synonyms, Chrysanthemum parthenium (L.) Bernh. and Pyrethrum parthenium (L.) Sm.

He's acquired her refrigerator at auction and transferred his adulation to the old machine, whose hum comforts him. Regan Adair is sweet and affecting as the Marilyn fan, caressing his beloved appliance with the care an archaeologist would afford a relic unearthed from an Egyptian tomb.
Catch Art on the Fridge when it's performed again at 2 p.m. Saturday, 5 p.m. Sunday or on July 27, 28 or August 2.

The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm—shattering new way to think about motivation.
Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.
Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.

In a classic experiment, researchers asked men and women in committed, monogamous relationships how likely they'd be to cheat on their significant others. Men reported being much more willing to cheat. But when they were later offered the chance to go on a date with a stranger, the gender gap closed. Women in relationships were just as likely as men to seize the opportunity.
What affects someone's willingness to cheat? Women are most likely to cheat when they're ovulating, according to psychologist Martie Haselton and anthropologist Elizabeth Pillsworth at UCLA. During the "fertile window," they become more attracted to masculine men— muscular, symmetrical, socially dominant guys with pronounced brows and strong jawlines—providing their current mates don't already have those characteristics. Women pursue a "dual mating strategy," says Pillsworth, settling down with a partner who'll invest resources in her and her children but seeking out prime genes by having sex outside the relationship. Tall women also cheat more—possibly be cause testosterone may influence height and infidelity.

Find out howit works
We have a planfor every budget
Best selling author, lawyer, and internet marketing specialist, Michael Waddington's new book is a complete guide to Google+ for small businesses.
Evans. GA, United States / ACCESSWIRE / March 10th, 2014 / Michael Waddington's latest book, titled Google+ for Business Owners: A Step-by-Step User's Guide to Growing Your Small Business with Google+ was recently published and is available for sale on the Amazon Marketplace in both a print and Kindle version.
Businesses are finding it increasingly difficult to succeed in today's competitive markets. Multi-media and social tools such as Google+ give them a much-needed head start in Internet marketing, and put them on a path towards success.
When talking about the importance of his books for today's business owners, Michael said, "It is surprising to see that many businesses don't know about the existence of Google+. I felt it was important to teach business owners about the powerful marketing and customer service tools that are built into the Google+ infrastructure. And best of all, it is free. "
The social media website is the destination of thousands of individuals looking for information and peer reviews of local stores, businesses, and restaurants. Often, it is their first destination when they are looking to eat out, make purchases, hire lawyer, or spend money locally. Businesses that have mastered Google+ can easily command the attention of this audience. Verified business listings on Google+ can see customer ratings and reviews and promptly address any issues their clients might have.
Michael said about his new book, "We have included snapshots to create a visual tutorial that makes it easy for business owners, who are not well versed in the ways of the Internet, to utilize the potential of Google+ to the fullest. This new book gives business owners the tools to help build a successful Google+ presence."
Michael co-wrote the new book with his wife Alexandra Gonzalez-Waddington, to provide an easy to follow, step-by-step guide to mastering Google+ for small business owners. Both of them are lawyers, having studied together at Temple University – James E. Beasley School of Law. They have a successful Internet consulting firm, Five95, LLC, which provides consulting services to business owners across the United States. They utilize more than 16 years of experience as Internet marketing specialists to author these books for niche markets that are very well received all over the world.
About The Authors: Michael Waddington, Esq. is a bestselling author and a nationally recognized expert on internet marketing. He is the co-founder of an internet marketing firm FIVE95, LLC. His YouTube Channel, featuring the video tutorial series "60 Second SEO Tips" is widely viewed and has thousands of subscribers.

Watch this video, then buy this 1993 Volvo wagon
We know it makes no sense, but that pretty much sums up our take on the video you'll see below, in which a man by the name of Christoffer Castor, from Scania County in Southern Sweden, attempts to convince any and all who watch to buy his car. The car in question is a 1993 Volvo 240 wagon, in red with a black fabric interior.
We have quite a bit of respect for the old boxy Volvo wagons here at Autoblog, and, despite the presence of some unsightly rust on the tailgate, would gladly bum about in this particular 240. We especially appreciate the five-speed manual gearbox and that it's from the car's final year in production.
But none of that has anything to do with the real reason we've decided to post this video. As much as we'd like to tell you all about it, you really just have to watch and see for yourself. Go ahead, scroll down below. Watch it all the way to the end. Please.

Jan. 9 (Bloomberg) -- PetroChina Co. sold gasoil and fuel- oil cargoes in Singapore, Asia's biggest oil-trading center. The naphtha crack fell for the first time in three days, signaling reduced profit from making the petrochemical feedstock.
Fuel Oil
PetroChina sold 20,000 metric tons of 380-centistoke fuel oil to Brightoil Petroleum Holdings Ltd. for loading between Jan. 30 and Feb. 3, according to a Bloomberg survey of traders who monitored transactions on the Platts window. The price was $12 a ton over benchmark quotes, the lowest reported premium since Nov. 18.
Fuel oil's discount to Asian marker Dubai crude widened 32 cents to $3.50 a barrel at 2:19 p.m. Singapore time, based on data from PVM Oil Associates Ltd., a broker. The gap last week widened for the first time in five weeks.
The premium of 180-centistoke fuel oil to 380-centistoke grade fell $1 to $12.25 a ton, PVM said. This viscosity spread narrowed for the first time in seven days, signaling bunker, or marine fuel, advanced less than higher-quality fuel oil.
Middle Distillates
Hin Leong Trading Pte bought 150,000 barrels of gasoil, or diesel, with 0.5 percent sulfur from PetroChina at 70 cents a barrel over benchmark quotes, according to the Bloomberg survey. The cargo is for loading from Feb. 1 to Feb. 5.
Gasoil's premium to Dubai crude rose 31 cents to $18.73 a barrel at 2:19 p.m. Singapore time, based on PVM data. This crack spread, a measure of refining profit, is the widest in a month.
Jet fuel climbed 25 cents to 10 cents a barrel above gasoil, PVM said. This regrade ended last week's trading at a discount, indicating it was unprofitable to produce aviation fuel over diesel.
Light Distillates
Statoil ASA sold 25,000 tons of open-specification naphtha for delivery in the first half of March to Cargill Inc. at $968 a ton, according to the Bloomberg survey. This is the first time in at least a year that Norway's biggest oil company has sold a cargo on the trading system, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
Royal Dutch Shell Plc bought 50,000 barrels of 95-RON gasoline from PetroChina at $123.80 a barrel, for Jan. 26 to Jan. 30 loading, the survey showed. Europe's largest oil company also purchased 50,000 barrels of 97-RON grade, for Jan. 31 to Feb. 4, from Total at $126.70 a barrel.
Trafigura Beheer BV sold 50,000 barrels of 97-RON gasoline to Total SA at a premium of $6.30 a barrel to 92-RON prices, the survey showed. PetroChina bought 50,000 barrels of 92-RON grade for Jan. 26 to Jan. 30 from Morgan Stanley at $120.30 a barrel.
Benchmark Japan naphtha swaps were at a premium of $98.50 a ton to Brent crude futures at 2:20 p.m. Singapore time, Bloomberg data showed. This crack spread was $98.70 on Jan. 6.
