John Arne Riise free to leave Fulham
Fulham defender John Arne Riise looks set to depart Craven Cottage after the club agreed he can leave on a free transfer.
The 32-year-old has spent two seasons in west London, making 75 appearances, having returned to the Premier League from Roma following a lengthy spell at Liverpool.
– John Arne Riise speaking to PA sport
Yes, it looks like I will be parting company with Fulham this summer.
Fortunately there is an agreement for there to be no transfer fee, so let's see what the rest of the transfer window brings.

Wardlaw's Perspectives in Nutrition
ByKathleen Bugbee on Jul 01, 2010
I purchased this as a class textbook, but the information within is so interesting that I intend to keep it for reference. It's very well written. I was disappointed that I paid for the 3-5 day shipping and didn't receive it until eleven days after purchase. It was late for the start date of my class and I did not receive a refund for the postage.

This was a text used in a college class. I actually read the whole book. I thought the material was presented in a very well-written manner that made it interesting to read besides being educational. I sold the book after the class ended, and now I regret it. I wish I would have kept it.

I bought it for my nutrition class; however, the contents of the book is very organized. I think it would be a good review for the people who wants to review and study for nutrition.
Good condition
ByJgaldamez on Feb 23, 2014
The corners of the cover are a little worn and there are some markings in a few pages, but nothing that I was not already aware of when I purchased the book.

It was very very helpful all the pages were there and it was affordable for school so it worked out great.

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. This is a scholar's book: serious, thick, complex. It's also fascinating, wise and of the utmost importance. Gordon-Reed, a professor of both history and law who in her previous book helped solve some of the mysteries of the intimate relationship between Thomas Jefferson and his slave Sally Hemings, now brings to life the entire Hemings family and its tangled blood links with slave-holding Virginia whites over an entire century. Gordon-Reed never slips into cynicism about the author of the Declaration of Independence. Instead, she shows how his life was deeply affected by his slave kinspeople: his lover (who was the half-sister of his deceased wife) and their children. Everyone comes vividly to life, as do the places, like Paris and Philadelphia, in which Jefferson, his daughters and some of his black family lived. So, too, do the complexities and varieties of slaves' lives and the nature of the choices they had to make—when they had the luxury of making a choice. Gordon-Reed's genius for reading nearly silent records makes this an extraordinary work. 37 illus. (Sept.)

[...] In her new book Gordon-Reed has not abandoned her incisive legal approach to evidence, but here she has essentially become a historian, and a superb one. She has set out to do what she thinks professional historians should have been doing all along. With great historical imagination, she has done far more than put together a convincing case for the Jefferson-Hemings relationship. She has also reconstructed the complicated and intimate relations between black and white families in And perhaps most important, she has uncovered the many expressions of humanity by both blacks and whites existing within a fundamentally inhumane institution.

Joyce Carol Oates, Times Literary Supplement, Christmas Roundup 2008 "The Hemingses of Monticello marks the author as one of the most astute, insightful, and forthright historians of this generation." The New York Review of Books "[A] commanding and important book." The New Yorker
About the Author
Annette Gordon-Reed is a professor of law at New York Law School and a professor of history at Rutgers University. She is the author of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
You'd be forgiven if at first glance you thought the LG LX550 were an iPod. To be fair, with its boxy shape, square external display, and round music controls, the new Sprint cell phone does look like Apple's wildly successful music player. It even comes with a selection of faceplates in iPod-like colors such as blue, pink, and green. Perhaps these similarities are the point, however, because beyond making calls, the LX550 boasts solid music capabilities, including the first FM transmitter in a cell phone. The remaining feature offerings are plentiful; you'll find Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel camera, 3G support for streaming video, and an expandable memory slot--all in an appealing, compact design. And it makes good calls too. Sprint has dubbed the LX550 with the bizarre name of Fusic, and it's available for a sky-high $329, or a more reasonable $179 with service.
As we mentioned earlier, it's clear where LG got its inspiration for the LX550. And though we were skeptical initially of any cell phone's attempt at mimicking the iPod, we were pleased with the overall result. Although it's a tad boxy, the phone has a clean, minimalist design that doesn't put on airs. At 3.78 by 1.89 by 0.78 inches, it has overtones of the current slim phones. It's not nearly as thin as the hot Motorola Razr, but it slips easily into a pocket or a bag. It also benefits from solid construction (4.23 ounces), and the flip opens and shuts with authority. The LX550 comes in blue in the box, and you'll find changeable faceplates in green, pink, and black.
The most distinctive feature on the front flap of the LG LX550 are the round music controls that let you access the music player and Sprint's music store when the phone is closed. Once music is playing, you can then use the control to pause your tracks and scroll through your playlists. Although there's no Click Wheel, as on the iPod, the controls are still tactile and intuitive. Just below the controls is a small speaker for music and speakerphone calls, while above them is the square, 1.25-inch-diagonal external display. With support for 65,000 colors (96x96 pixels), it's one of the better external screens we've seen on a cell phone. You can't alter the backlighting time, but you can change the wallpaper and use the display as a viewfinder for self-portraits. It also shows photos for caller ID. Above the display is a small light that blinks when the phone is in standby mode and when you're on a call. It glows only in green, but you can turn it off if you like.
Inside the LG LX550, you'll find a gorgeous internal screen that measures 2 inches diagonally. Sharp and vivid with support for 262,000 colors (176x220 pixels), it displays graphics and pictures beautifully, and we enjoyed the funky animated wallpaper. Scrolling through the snazzy menus was also a treat; available in two styles (grid or list), the designs are an improvement upon those of previous LG phones. Not only are they easier on the eyes, but the various pop-up submenus are quite user-friendly. You can change the backlighting time and the font size but not the brightness, and as with most cell phone displays, it's difficult to see in direct light.
The navigation controls left us somewhat divided. Although we're not fans of buttons that are flush with the phone, we found the LG LX550's controls tactile and user-friendly nonetheless. The navigation array is also quite large, so users with big paws shouldn't have a problem. A five-way toggle serves as a shortcut to four user-defined functions, and we liked that the OK button opened the menu when in standby mode. There are also two soft keys, a camera shortcut, and a dedicated speakerphone button--a nice touch. When in standby mode, the left soft key opens a programmable Favorites menu of oft-used features. Below the toggle are a dedicated Back button and the traditional Talk and End/power keys.
The keypad buttons are a tad harder to manipulate. Since they are set flush with the phone, we had trouble dialing by feel. They're also smaller than we expected, but the blue backlighting is bright, and we like the silver plate that covers the inside of the phone. Back on the outside of the LG LX550, there's a camera button and a covered headset jack on the right spine, while a volume rocker, the Micro SD card slot, and a voice-command button sit on the left spine. The camera lens and flash are located on the top of the rear face just below the stubby external antenna.
Besides music features, which we'll get to in a moment, the LG LX550 offers all the basics you'd expect and more. The phone book holds 500 contacts, with room in each entry for five phone numbers, an e-mail address, a Web address, and notes. You can organize callers into groups or pair them with a picture (called a waterdrop, for some reason) or one of 24 polyphonic (72-chord) ring tones. And like the Samsung SCH-A580, the LX550 supports Sprint's new Wireless Backup service. Other essentials include a vibrate mode, an alarm clock, a calculator, a scheduler, a notepad, text and multimedia messaging, a Micro SD card slot (a 64MB card is included with the phone), instant messaging (AOL, Yahoo, and ICQ), POP3 e-mail support, a voice recorder, and a world clock.

Back to school is right around the corner, meaning... math. Which is a shame, because math is hard. For so many students, learning math through the traditional methods can be extremely difficult. They might not understand the concepts the way that they are presented or maybe they just learn better through repetition and interaction.
However it is that they learn, games can be vital in helping to education by giving students new ways to interact with the subject material. Here are ten games that we think do it well.
Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is the basis for most of the "exercise your brain" games. It provides an measurable metric of learning to follow as you progress through different mini-games, calculating your ever-changing "Brain Age" based on the results. There are dozens of different games that will test your cognitive abilities, like quick math equations and being able to discern between the color that's written and the color that the word is actually written in. They're all short and simple, making it great for short bursts of play at some point throughout the day, even if it is more about learning than fun.
Body and Brain Connection for Kinect is rather simple, but still fun. It doesn't focus on complex math equations, but offers simple games that challenge different aspects of math and learning instead. These are all very basic, but that suits a multiplayer or family environment quite well. It steals almost everything from Brain Age, but the inclusion of the Kinect gives it an additional boost as it exercises both your body and brain when answering questions. The active nature of the title is great for getting the blood pumping and players focusing more on the answers they are submitting, rather than just clicking on a random answer to progress.
There isn't a math game out there that's simpler than Mad Math games. The Mad Math series of flash games are minimal games that focus on basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It presents a problem with a blank box below for you to put an answer in. Depending on the validity of your answer, it will simply tell you if you got it right or wrong and move on to the next question. There isn't much to it, but it's a good tool for testing your basic skills while enjoying an animated picture of a mad scientist.
Sail Through Math is one of the more interactive math games out there. The problems are simple, even at the highest level, but the gameplay is still engaging and fast-paced. It requires more attention than the average study tool, but it also provides the most feedback. At the end of each minigame, you're shown the problems that you got wrong so that you are able to fix them the next time. It might be simple, but it's extremely fun for a math game, even if you aren't necessarily looking for a learning app, this serves its purpose well as a game regardless.
Turns out we can't escape the zombie apocalypse, even while trying to learn a bit of math. Math vs Zombies takes the premise of the popular Popcap title (Plants vs. Zombies) and turns it into a first-person shooter that requires the player to solve simple math problems to kill zombies. The equations are all relatively simple and easy to figure out. It's clearly aimed at younger kids learning math for the first time, rather than those looking for a little more help. Kids need to learn math somehow, and Math vs Zombies manages to make learning fun, even if that feeling won't stick around for long.
Math Soccer is extremely simple. All you have to do is swipe the ball into the goal with the correct answer on it. That's it. It doesn't take itself too seriously, either--the graphics are crude and filled with penguins, so it's fun for both those wanting to learn math and penguin fanatics. Despite its simplicity, it still manages to be fun and challenging, tasking players with scoring as many goals (via correct answers) as they can in a limited amount of time. The equations are aimed toward children and there aren't very many of them, so don't expect to get into any high level stuff; it's extremely basic and works well that way.
Shepard Software's website has dozens of games all ready to challenge you with everything from basic math to algebra and integers. It isn't just one style of game either, there's dozens of different games for each section, including one that requires you to shoot the fruit with the right answer on it and another that's the same but with balloons. Most of the games manage to be pretty fun, mixing learning and interactivity well. They are all pretty short, but there's a large variety of both games and topics that should keep you occupied for a long time.
Integer Football takes the difficulty of basic math and makes it applicable to children who might learn better when it relates to something they enjoy. It uses words like "penalty" and "gain" instead of "add" and "subtract" to make things easier for people who struggle with math terminology. That might sound somewhat silly, but it ends up working well, as it tackles (no pun intended) the challenging blocks that some students face when learning. You're going to want to mute it though, as the sound effects get old quickly. It doesn't do much in terms of feedback, but it's quickly replayable, so it's easy to blow through a few rounds back to back.
Deep Dive is extremely simple, but the cute art style is enough to make it worth while for younger children. You'll need to choose which family of equations you'll want to learn from and then select the right answer to "snap a photo." The premise is silly, but it isn't distracting enough to detract from the quality early learning experience. Deep Dive is clearly aimed at those just starting to learn math and doesn't advance beyond that, so if you've learned how to add past twenty, Deep Dive is already too easy for you.
Frog Fractions deals with basic fractions and typing skills as you capture flies in your frog mouth to keep them from spoiling your fruit. It's mostly point-and-click, but there's some sections that require you to type the answer in, requiring a bit more focus. It's good for those who want to learn basic fractions, but it's also fun enough for anyone looking for a quick, fun game. In fact, it's easily one of the most deceptively crazy games ever created--we don't want to spoil it, because the moment that you discover what the game is actually about is one that you'll remember forever.
Math is an integral (pun intended) part of education and games are getting better at helping to teach it. These were ten games that we thought did a good job, but we're sure there are others out there. Let us know your favorites in the comments below!

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat... So why not leave the preparations to someone else this December and use the excuse of Christmas shopping to get one last weekend away in before the end of the year?
The tradition of holding a Christmas market (or Christkindlmarkt) during advent originated in Germany and Austria in the middle ages, but has now spread all across the world. Here's BedandBreakfastworld.com's guide to the best Christmas Markets in Europe for 2009.
1. Berlin, Germany
As the home of the Christmas market, you would expect Germany's capital to produce something special, and Berlin does not fail to deliver. Markets pop up all over the city and the state of Berlin during December. The largest and most famous is held at Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche, with visitors in excess of four million, but other highlights include the antique toy stalls at Unter den Linden and the fairy forest at Alexanderplatz.
Location: Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche
Dates: 23rd November to 31st December
2. Brussels, Belgium
Brussels' main Christmas market is the Winter Wonderland, nestled among the grand buildings of the Place Sainte Catherine. As well as a vast array of stalls selling some of Belgium's finest culinary treats, attractions this year will include an outdoor ice skating rink and a giant illuminated big wheel.
Location: Place Sainte Catherine
Dates: 27th November to 3rd January
3. Vienna, Austria
Dating back to medieval times, Vienna's famous Wiener Christkindlmarkt attracts around three million visitors each year. Over 140 stalls are set up in front of City Hall, selling arts and crafts, children's toys, Christmas tree ornaments and, of course, plenty of mulled wine and seasonal treats.
Location: City Hall
Dates: 22nd November to 26th December
4. Tallinn, Estonia
Less than a decade old, Tallinn's Christmas market is a relative newcomer on the scene, but still attracts hundreds of thousands each year, drawn by handmade crafts, traditional Estonian food and the (almost certain) promise of snow. The market is held in the picturesque Old Town Hall Square, said to be the site of the first ever Christmas tree.
Location: Old Town Hall Square
Dates: 29th November to 27th January
5. Prague, Czech Republic
The most popular Christmas markets (vanocni trhy) in Prague take place in the stunning Old Town Square and, fittingly, Wenceslas Square. Goods being sold at the colourfully decorated wooden huts range from Bohemian crystal to handmade wooden puppets. Make sure you try the sausage, a local Czech speciality.
Location: Wenceslas Square, Old Town Square
Dates: 28th November to 1st January
6. Gothenburg, Sweden
Fairy lights adorn every available space of Gothenburg's Liseberg amusement park when Christmas comes to town, undoubtedly one of the largest Christmas markets in Scandinavia. Adults browse the stalls, sampling Nordic delights, while children tire themselves out on the fairground rides and the ice rink.
Location: Liseberg
Dates: 13th November to 23rd December
7. Budapest, Hungary
A magical atmosphere descends on Budapest at Christmas, and its festive market is one of the most popular in Europe. Drawing crowds which number in the hundreds of thousands, the city's central market is filled with decorated wooden stalls selling strudel, sausages and traditional kürtös kalács.
Location: Vörösmarty Square
Dates: 24th November to 29th December
8. London, England
In response to the huge popularity of recent years, Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland will this year extend to over 20 acres of Christmas fun, with a brand new Santa Land. Other attractions include a fun fair, a big wheel, an ice rink and, of course, the traditional German market.
Location: Hyde Park
Dates: 21st November to 3rd January
9. Paris, France
The world's most romantic city excels itself at Christmas, with every tree festooned with twinkling lights. Visitors come from all over France and further to meet Père Noël and enjoy a warming glass of vin chaud. Kids will love the colourful carousels while adults may prefer a more sedate ride in a horse-drawn carriage. The main markets are held at Place Saint-Sulpice and Boulevard Saint Germain.
Location: Place Saint-Sulpice, Boulevard Saint Germain
Dates: 5th December to 31st December
10. Madrid, Spain
Madrid's Mercado Navideño is held in the elegant Plaza Mayor. Among the traditional sweets, decorations and Bethlehem figurines on offer, visitors may be surprised to see a large number of novelty wigs, rubber masks and other costume items for sale. These are linked to el día de los inocentes, a Spanish April Fool's Day held on 28th December, but eager shoppers tend to try on their new outfits straight away, giving a carnival feel to the proceedings.
Location: Plaza Mayor
Dates: 28th November to 31st December

The Queue: Tylosaurus
Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Matthew Rossi will be your host today.
Tylosaurus was a mosasaur, a prehistoric reptile distantly related to modern varanids. The mosasaurs were fully adapted to an aquatic lifestyle, and they ranged in size from the roughly three and a half meter Carinodens to the massive Tylosaurs at 15 or more meters. (There's some debate about which was bigger, Tylosaurus or its relative Hainosaurus. Either way, we're talking a massive, nearly fifty to sixty foot long reptile if the largest estimates are used.) The mososaurs dominated the shallow seas of late Cretaceous America, and the land that became modern states like Colorado (Denver is a city, Matt) and even Kansas was then under water. Under water that was swarming with these guys.
Why am I bringing this up? Because I like prehistoric animals, and Tylosaurus was a spectacular predatory reptile. It gave live birth and, once it achieved its full growth, ate anything it wanted, whether it be an Archelon or a Hybodus shark. And as a pure reptile (its closest living relatives are varanids like the monitor lizard, which itself also swims quite well) I find mosasaurs fascinating. Someday we might get another 'lost world' zone like Sholazar and Un'Goro, and if we do, I'd love it if it had a Lindenbrock Sea-inspired lake with some mosasaurs in it, eating sharks and Xiphactinus. And potentially us, if we're not careful.
Anyways, on to your questions. There will be some mild spoilers for patch 5.4 in today's Queue.
C Robinson asks:
With the Timewalkers becoming official, do you think we might get more use out of Kara? Give us something not CoT or dragons!
I'm going to admit, I don't see how these two things are necessarily related, although we do know that Karazhan is notoriously screwed up in space and time, with people seeing visions of the past and future inside the place. I've always wanted to see the infamous underbelly of Karazhan, rumored to be an inverted version of the tower descending into the underworld. Considering the stuff that's down there, who knows? I'd certainly be okay with seeing some of that. Whether or not that's where the Timewalkers are going to end up taking us, I really couldn't say.

The new raid continues the fight for the Fortress of Solitude and players will have to aid DC Universe Online's heroes and villains such as Superman and Lex Luthor to decide the fate of the fortress. The update also hints at the appearance of certain other iconic DC characters such as Superman's father and Zod.
While no solid release date was given, DC Universe Online is scheduled to adopt a free-to-play model later this month, so it's probably fair to speculate that the update will likely accompany that launch. Check out the Game Update 5: The Fate of the Fortress Test server patch notes for more details.

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – The South Alabama Jaguars are on the prowl.
Entering the 6th year of the program, the Jags face a tough schedule – a complete Sun Belt schedule, plus two SEC schools: Mississippi State and South Carolina. Plus, Navy is coming to town. The Jags ended the 2013 campaign 6-6 and are now looking to win the Sun Belt and reach a bowl game.
To go along with it all, a new way of keeping you informed about the season on the air. Jaguar Sports Properties has been formed at South. The new in-house multimedia operation takes off this fall.
"It's going to be multi-platform. That's the great thing. The radio network is going to be larger. A much bigger footprint. Our team is strong. It's going to be exciting. It's going to be a very great, quality product on air for the radio network. Pat Greenwood, color analyst. I'll be doing play-by-play in the booth. Michael Brannon, on the sideline. We've got JT Crabtree, a recent graduate. He's a product of South Alabama. He'll be on the controls and hosting halftime as well. Of course, we've partnered with Clear Channel. We really appreciate those guys over at Lite Mix 99.9. We've got a great team going into the fall. The businesses, the folks that are really excited about it – they've really embraced it. They're excited about it. They're buying in. That's helping tremendously to build excitement but also, this is a revenue model to raise funds for South Alabama Jaguar athletics. It's a win-win for a lot of folks and it seems like a lot of folks are really excited," said Director of Broadcast, JD Byars.
"Jaguar Sports Properties and its creation really parallels the emergence of football where we're growing. We've always been a regional school. We are growing beyond a regional school to a national institution and that's reflected by all our sports programs but football has presented that opportunity for us. And Jaguar Sports Properties will work at expanding that reach along with the programs. Any type of exposure, whatever shape or form that's in – electronic media, print, social media, it solidifies an impression on potential recruits and fans whether they're in Mobile, Alabama, Montgomery, Alabama, Dallas, Texas or Los Angeles. I think we've made great strides in that direction and it's something we're going to be very diligent in continuing to expand," said Director of Athletics, Dr. Joel Erdmann.
The Jags open the season away at Kent State in Kent, Ohio on September 6.

- 1Mar 31, '10 by MissyF_RNthis may be long but i just need to vent. i had this one patient a couple of nights ago that i just knew the family would give me the run around all night. he was a stage four lung cancer patient that the family was in denial about and refusing hospice when the doctor had consulted them. when i walked in at 1930 to do my assessment on him before i even laid my stethoscope on him they were asking me a ton of questions, "when's his next breathing treatment" "when is is next pain pill" "what's his oxygen" you get the picture. when told that the treatment was scheduled for 1900 they proceeded to tell me it was 1935 and where was respiratory and he needs his treatments on time. i reassured them that he was going to receive his treatment and that the therapist should be on their way. after i completed my assessment and answered all their questions the patient wanted to be put on a mask because he said he was not getting any oxygen through his nasal cannula. of course he was breathing through his mouth, so i instructed him to breath through his nose and his oxygen was on. they still insisted i put him on a mask. so after i put him on a 24% venti mask he said it was not enough so i put him on 30% then that was too much that the air was blowing in his face so i put him back down. of course he wanted it up more. i politely explained it was either one or the other. once he was satisfied with his oxygen i left out the room to assess my other patients. at 2040 they came to the desk to ask for his pain medication. i was talking to the doctors at this moment and i would be there as soon as i could. i go in the room 10 minutes later and gave him all his regular night time meds along with the pain meds. ok they are fine. i walk back into the med room where i proceed to dispense narcotics for one of my other patients and the family member comes to the desk to ask for him to be put back on his nasal cannula. i told him i would be in as soon as i could. i was going to bring my other paitient her pain meds and i was going to go straight into his room to change him out. i was out in the hall gearing up to go into my other patients room, that patient was in isolation for positive mrsa cultures. now i'm in the hall in the yellow gown gloves on and another family member walks out of the hall and demands to know when i was going to shange his oxygen. i had to explain again that i was going to go change him out as soon as i was done with that other patient. of course she left in a huff, i wasn't particularly worried because his oxygen sat was fine and he was on o2. as soon as i left out of my other patients room i went and change his oxygen back. of course i got the 3rd degree when i went in there. they were asking me why i didn't go in there when they came get me to change his oxygen. i had to explain to them i went as soon as i was done with my other patient. they seemed ok with my explanation. later that night one of my other patients was practically drowning in is own secretions he could not cough up on his own. i was going to our clean supply room to get a suction cath for him when the family member came and asked me to tape down his foley cath. i asked one of the other nurses to help me out by taping his cath to him. i don't think they liked that either but i had a more critical patient at the time and could not go in myself. the rest of the night passed with no other incidents. in the morning, one of the other family members, who was not there the whole night, and did not see his oxygen episodes, asked me why his o2 was on 4 instead of the 3 1/2 l he was on the day before. i explained to her that he was going to be fine and the o2 was increased because he could not feel it (i mean 1/2 l come on now really!). i left with no other questions from them. the next night i was brought into the charge nurses office because they said i was rude and they did not want me as the nurse again. of course i was left wondering what i did to offend them. the day nurse told me the family was following them like puppies telling her i did not go into the room until 0300 (complete lie) and i did not address his oxygen when they asked (another lie), and i turned up his oxygen to 4 l when he was only supposed to be on 3 1/2 l (really 1/2 l more). the patient was absolutely fine with me it was the family that was angry. anyway i was not his nurse that night which really didn't bother me any. that just meant that i didn't have to put up with the family again. that night every time i passed next a family member they just stared at me with the meanest look. sorry this was so long i just needed to vent!
- 0Mar 31, '10 by CathiPI sympathize with you 100%. I've had that family!! Most of the time, after the patient finally transfers to the "Unit of Eternal care", the family can relax and they realize it was them, not you. That doesn't make it any easier while you're getting trashed but everyone deals their own way with death. These are probably the same family members who haven't seen the patient in years and are feeling guilty but taking it out on you. Don't take it personal. Just smile at them when you see them and ask how the patient is. Don't know if it's your first crazy family but I'm betting it won't be the last!
- 1Mar 31, '10 by cherrybreezeI'm sorry, Missy...some families are like that, and it's so frustrating. Their family member is your only patient, as far as they're concerned, and no matter what you do for them, it's never enough. Have faith that you did the best you could, and let it roll (I know it's hard!). You could have jumped at their beck and call all night long, and they would have found fault, I promise you that. Be glad that they didn't want you any more, lol, that gave you a break from them!
The patient had no issue with you, and that's what really matters. Keep doing what you're doing.
- 0Mar 31, '10 by iNurseUKFeel better? This stuff is hard to deal with. The family won't ever accept that whatever you do it won't save Pops at the end of the day and no miracle will make the cancer go away which is what they really want from us.
All we can do is grin and bear it. The tiny details are all the family have to cling to. The slightest deviation in the timing of physical therapy/radiotherapy/chemotherapy is enough to provoke a storm of truly spectacular proportions even if all these treatments are palliative.
I also have these "headdesk" moments so hang in there sister
- 0Mar 31, '10 by katkonk, BSNAll I can say is I understand. At the bottom of all the feelings of the family and the patient is just fear. Any time people are that agitated the bottom line is fear. The family is trying to get their head around the fact that their loved one is going to die, and they just want to do what they consider to be taking good care of them. The patient is afraid because they are having trouble breathing and are afraid to die gasping for air and in pain. With a hard-to handle family and patient like that, sometimes the best way to handle the problem is to "cut to the chase" and address that fear. But, you probably would still have been accused of being rude, as it seems like you did offer explanations of your actions. Re: when you did or did not go into the room, your nursing notes would have reflected the times you checked on the patient, hopefully.
- 1Mar 31, '10 by onetiredmommaOne advantage of wearing staff locaters is your manager can access the system and prove to the family when staff is in a room. that said, I too am sorry you had to do this. I have a bit of an onery side and the few times this has happened to me I always smile and say good morning when I pass families who have "fired" me. Just remember, you know what you did, you did your best for ALL your pts and come here to vent when necessary!
- 0Mar 31, '10 by mamamerleeI almost didn't read your post because of the PINK ink. Very hard to read.
But I concur with everyone - these people are anxious and they made you the focal point of their inability to cope. If you see them again, just smile and nod your head as you pass them in the hall. They will complain about anyone who doesn't jump to their beck and call.
Sometimes it helps when you first enter a room to ask if there is a delegated spokesperson for the family. Then they can discuss who will be responsible for that shift so you aren't accosted by a different person each time you are visible.
You will always have families like this. Ask for an inservice on dealing with difficult families, or ask someone who seems to be very good at this how she manages. For some reason, male nurses are rarely targeted like this.
- 2Mar 31, '10 by Ruby Veesome families are just plain toxic, and there is nothing you can do to satisfy them. the excuse that "they're just afraid" or "they feel helpless because they know he's dying" is an excuse, not a reason for bad behavior. be happy that they "fired you" so you don't have to deal with them again. (and yes, smiling and saying a friendly hello every time you encounter them in the hall will probably drive them nuts.)
i will, however, second the notion that the pink ink is difficult to read, and paragraphs would have helped as well.
- 1Mar 31, '10 by SpringerCabYears ago when I was complaining about a patient and family members to my sister she got a little upset at me and said "you nurses need to understand that they patient is not at their best when they are in the hospital." I was upset with her and stopped telling her about the situation. I thought about it later and realized she is right. Although being in the hospital does not give anyone the right to treat us the way this family treated you, we might want to remember the patient and family are not at their best and try to understand how they might feel. Just my 2 cents.

Syrian War Clouds Turkish Plan To Clear Land Mines
Approved traffic moves the other way, as Turkey and other nations that oppose Assad send logistical and humanitarian aid to Syrian rebels and civilians. While Turkey says it is not arming the insurgency, Syrian rebels have told The Associated Press they receive some weapons and ammunition from the Turkish side with only sporadic interference from border patrols. According to rebels, these weapons are bought with funding from rich Syrians or sympathetic Gulf Arabs.
Fences are down and cars can cross in some parts adjoining Syria's Idlib province, an opposition stronghold.
The first mines on the Syrian border were planted after smugglers killed two customs agents in 1956. Turkey laid more mines in the 1980s and 1990s, at the height of its war with the rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, which was backed by Syria. Turkey is again worried about possible infiltration by Kurdish rebels who are cheered by an autonomy grab by their ethnic brethren in Syria.
The Turkish defense ministry told the AP it started evaluating bids from demining companies in July and would sign contracts once the assessment is complete."Developments in Syria to this day have not affected our plans or work," the ministry said. NATO said it is assisting with "technical preparations" for the mine clearance. Cenk Sidar, managing director of Sidar Global Advisors, a Washington-based consultancy, said he believed that Turkey would sign contracts but wait until the Syrian civil war is resolved. "According to plans, the government will build electronic border surveillance systems simultaneously with the demining. Even this seems too risky at this point," Sidar wrote in an email. "It may take a few years, and some qualified/selected firms may change their pricing or conditions due to the increasing instability." Between 2010 and 2011, a Turkish firm, Nokta, and a partner from Azerbaijan cleared more than 1,200 mines around an archaeological site, Karkemish, on the Syrian border. They found anti-tank mines and M14 mines known as "toe poppers." It was hard to work with metal detectors because the soil also contained remnants of coins and other ancient fragments; some mines had to be dug out by hand rather than detonated to avoid damaging cultural treasures.

Toshiba and Apple working together on a display manufacturing plant
Toshiba and Apple are reportedly working together on a brand new manufacturing plant in Japan's Ishikawa Prefecture, specifically to build "low-temperature polysilicon LCD panels," to be used in Apple's iPhones. Toshiba will spend about $1.9 billion on the project, which is scheduled to start building in a month or so, and be done in time to start production by the end of next year. Toshiba already makes some 8.55 million units in its current manufacturing plant, but that production is supposed to double with this new facility.
We've posted before about the incredible scale of Apple's production process, and even with all of these plants churning out parts and units, Apple is only barely able to keep up with demand. In some places it's still not even able to keep up. The other benefit is that the more of its production process Apple moves under its own purview, the more of an advantage it can have against competitors, some of which use the same manufacturers and distributors that Apple uses right now. The more plants Apple invests in, the more unique production locations it will be able to take advantage of later on.

I don't think proxy auth is what the OP is after. Do I have that
right? Implies the presence of a node somewhere to act as the proxy.
For HBase, there is https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5050
which would enable proxyuser support via the REST gateway as simple
follow on work.

No. 8 Kentucky falls short at LSU, 77-72
BATON ROUGE, La. Kentucky coach Matthew Mitchell has been through his share of tough games at LSU.
After yet another one in which his No. 8 Wildcats nearly pulled off a 13-point comeback, but ultimately fell 77-72 to the upset-minded Lady Tigers on Sunday, Mitchell wasn't about to be too critical of his team.
"I didn't think we played poorly," Mitchell said. "I just thought LSU played so hard and really executed and made great, great plays to win. They certainly deserved to win today. They were outstanding."
A'dia Mathies scored 20 and Jennifer O'Neill 15 for Kentucky (23-4, 11-3), which saw its four game winning streak snapped even as Mathies became the Wildcats' second-leading all-time scorer with 1,863 points, surpassing Victoria Dunlap's 1,846.
But Kentucky was done in by LSU guard Jeanne Kenney, who responded to what was a difficult week for her personally by hitting all five 3-pointers she attempted on her way to a career-high 22 points.
"We needed this win. I was going to play," Kenney said, allowing for a slight, appreciative smile. "I needed my team and my team needed me."
Kenney had missed her grandfather's funeral late this past week because of a snow storm that kept LSU in Missouri a day longer than expected, and was unsure if she would play against the Wildcats because of a sore left foot. She did not start, but saved the Lady Tigers (17-10, 8-6 Southeastern Conference) in a reserve role, finishing 7 of 8 from the field and 3 of 4 from the foul line.
"Jeanne responded like her grandfather would have wanted her to," LSU coach Nikki Caldwell said. "Today she was one of the most courageous players that I have had an opportunity to coach. ... Her presence on the floor was definitely felt by her teammates."
Theresa Plaisance recorded her fifth double-double this season with 20 points and 13 rebounds, while Bianca Lutley added 15 points for LSU, which shot 5.9 percent (27 of 51) and went 7 of 11 from 3-point range as a team.
Kentucky, which has not won at LSU since 2010, shot 44.6 percent (29 of 65), but was only 6 of 23 from deep. LSU also outrebounded a Kentucky team renowned for its defensive play, 34-32, en route to its second upset of a Top 10 team in two weeks (having beaten then-No. 9 Georgia 62-54 Feb. 10).
LSU did have a potentially significant setback, however, when starting center Shanece McKinney left the game late in the second half with an apparent leg injury that required her to get help off the court. She had five blocks.
LSU never trailed in the second half and led by as much as nine in the final 20 minutes when Plaisance's layup made it 49-40.
The Wildcats kept pushing back, with Mathies' 3 cutting the Lady Tigers' lead to 62-60. Mathies later pulled Kentucky into a tie with her reverse layup with 4:03 left, but LSU did not wilt, thanks to Kenney, who drilled a 3 and a jumper in succession to make it 69-64 with 2:13 left. Kentucky never got closer than three points after that.

Rumor: Microsoft phasing out Microsoft Points
A rumor making the rounds today is Microsoft will phase out its Microsoft Points currency by year's end, in favor of real currency. According to InsideMobileApps, the change will affect Windows Phone, the Zune Marketplace and Xbox Live.
The site claims "a source" provided the information and notes that mobile developers with Microsoft publishing agreements are being told to plan their upcoming downloadable content and in-app purchases in accordance with the change. Finally, customers with Microsoft Point balances at the time of conversion will have it switched to the their local currency.
Two developers we spoke to who are working on Windows Phone 7 and Xbox Live content told us they hadn't heard anything about such a conversion. However, both noted that sometimes Microsoft doesn't tell them about major changes until it becomes need to know. They also hadn't heard whispers about the conversion until we contacted them.
Checking in with Microsoft, a company spokesperson told us: "We do not comment on rumor or speculation."
Update: Microsoft Switzerland has reportedly told Gbase.de that the rumor is not true. The Google translation is a bit confusing, but it roughly translates: "We can not confirm these rumors - we are currently satisfied with the current Xbox Live Business model."

Richard Smallwood believes he is good enough to be a first-team regular at Middlesbrough and hopes he can impress Aitor Karanka after a successful loan spell at Rotherham.
The holding midfielder ended his time with the Millers in a blaze of glory as he tucked away the winning Sky Bet League 1 play-off penalty to seal the club's second promotion in as many years.
Despite Rotherham boss Steve Evans wanting to make the deal permanent, Smallwood's thoughts are solely on proving himself to his current manager.
The 23-year-old had been involved in the Boro squad since 2010 before his temporary move away, and after the club recently activated a clause to extend his contract until 2015 he hopes he can prove his worth.
He told the Gazette: "Boro is a massive club and has got some great players. I see myself in the team but it's not my decision.
"I'm sure we will strengthen the squad as the summer goes on so we should have a strong team next season.
"I think as a footballer, you've got to believe in yourself.
"I believe in my ability and I believe I should be in the Middlesbrough team."

18 Good Movies to Stream on Netflix This JulyFeatures By Nathan Adams on July 1, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
A big new chunk of movies gets added to Netflix every month—which is awesome—but with the constant glut of new content, how are you supposed to know which movies are worth your time and which are just going to force you to hit stop after twenty minutes? This column will give you a place to start. I had to hit stop on a lot of bad movies in order to get this list together, so you owe me. Without further ado, here are 18 good movies to stream that were recently added to Netflix's Watch-It-Right-This-Second service and should keep you entertained from start to finish. As always, click on the films' titles in order to be taken to their Netflix page, where you can add them to your My List. Pick of the Month: Stories We Tell (2012) Stories We Tell is a documentary from director Sarah Polley that's largely about Sarah Polley. Or, it's about her origins, at least. Okay, a lot of it is about her mom, and how it came to be that Polley's parentage became a point of contention among her older siblings. Is her dad really her dad, or might it have been this other guy? What kind of a life did her mother lead for this to even be a question? How does Polley herself feel about the ambiguity, and how would her relationship with her father change if she found out they weren't biologically linked? This movie attacks the situation from a lot of angles, […]
Does 'What About Bob?' Really Play the Unwanted Visitor Angle Better Than 'You, Me and Dupree?'Features By Nathan Adams on April 24, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
Though Frank Oz hasn't meant much as a director in recent years, once upon a time he was a pretty successful go to guy. And his 1991 comedy, What About Bob?, is considered by many to be a modern comedy classic. His tale of an obsessive compulsive, overly dependent nut job and his doormat therapist going on vacation together is the sort of movie that friends constantly quote amongst one another, that fans revisit year after year. Is it really that great a comedy though, or is it more the case of a solid film getting propped up to mythic status due to the cult of Bill Murray deifying anything the sad-faced actor touches? On the flip side, You, Me and Dupree came and went in 2006 without much notice from the public, but not without earning some pretty damning reviews from critics and a decent amount of derision from Internet pundits. This comedy about a newlywed getting stuck with the task of taking in his wayward, eccentric best friend got called words like "lazy," "tired," and "obvious" in the film press. Whether it was due to the overexposure of Seth Rogen and Owen Wilson, who were each putting out about ten movies a year at this point, or the inclusion of Kate Hudson, whose name slotted in as the female lead is usually poison for comedies, people really responded to this one negatively. But is it really that bad, or was its release just a case of wrong movie, […]

Wooden bats make a dent in amateur offense
by KDLT Sports
August 07, 2012 7:25 PM
Dell Rapids Mudcats Jesse Kurtenbach and Nate Henry have been playing Amateur baseball for years, but one change that is new to their game, starts with the crack of a bat...Both power-hitters have been known for muscling ones out of the park, but with wooden bats, hitting among other things, has become more difficult.
"Try not to swing at as many bad pitches..try to find a good pitch to hit...you can't really get away with a whole lot now with wooden bats...it is alot harder to hit with them and hit consistently," said Mudcats player Nate Henry.
Some players have said that the change has been a good thing: they say it has leveled the playing field with the game becoming more of a pitcher's duel, lower scoring and not getting away with cheap hits like they used to.
"The pitchers are more effective, really have to be heck of a pitcher to dominate in alumnium bat era and it is more restricted with wood bats," said team manager, Jim Wilber.
"It definitely helps the pitching-makes it harder to hit but I think guys that know how to hit are still hitting the ball ok 17 everyone's batting average has probably dropped several hundreds points...power numbers have dropped but you still know when you hit it well," said Jesse Kurtenbach.
Overall, they say the change has been positive.
"I haven't tried to change approach too much...I stand a little further from the plate now," said Kurtenbach.
"It has def taken a hit on power numbers but as long as you have hits and produce runs, that's the main thing," said Henry.
And when you catch a good one, you can tell by the crack of the bat! It still goes a long way..

Advice on my first nitro
Hay fellas my name is Andy I'm from aus... I have brushless boats and a 2stroke but no nitro yet. My mate bought a supervee 27 after a few hours on running In and tweaking the carby I got it running awesome it is flying and really handles well... Anyway I like driving his boat more then any of mine so it's time I buy a nitro... I want a v hull and love the sv27 so anyone know if any other great boats out there I'd rather pour fuel in and not pump it but either way any help or advice would be great... Thanks guys... Andy
|Jun 26, 2012, 08:42 AM
+1 on that.... Got a couple of electric boats and over batteries cooking and the short amount of run time at quick speeds... So looking for a recommended nitro...
|Jun 26, 2012, 05:34 PM
Do either of you have any nitro airplane experience or any fast boat people in your area? If you don't you might want to seriously consider gasoline boats for your first high performance stuff. It can be done of course-you might be really resourceful and persistent-but there is a learning curve. Lots of people in the hobby these days want plug and play, and nitro boats don't always fill that niche. I'm not suggesting you are of course, just don't want anyone to get into something with little chance of success.
That's my .02.
|Jun 26, 2012, 07:30 PM
Already have gasoline boats and no how to tune nitros from cars etc
|Jun 26, 2012, 07:31 PM
Nah nothing with nitro... But got a quick electric boat does 100k + just want something quick and with electric get about 10 minutes then over 1 hour and half charge time... So looking to get into nitro... What quick/high performance gasoline boats would you recommend or mentioning?

RTR nitro boats are slowly fading from the scene. None of them are perfect by a long shot but usually some no-to-low cost work can do wonders for them.
Avoid the "eBay specials" as generally they're junk. Look up an outfit called Oz-Spec Hobbies to see what they've got.
This place, http://www.hobbysupplies.com.au/ sells the serious nitro stuff.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I just checked the AquaCraft and ProBoat sites. AquaCraft is now only offering the Miss Vegas Deuce as their only RTR nitro boat and I can't find a single nitro boat on ProBoat's site as everyone is going brushless.
Your possibly only or best shot at scoring a new or used RTR nitro boat from either of these two companies is eBay.
|Jun 28, 2012, 08:22 AM
Oh really... How come nitro boats are getting fazed out there great fun boats... I've got brushless and to much charge time for little use then esc play up and they get hot etc... What else is out there

You guess is as good as mine but I do have a few of them.
Most were built with the sport boater in mind or first-time boater. These people were clueless what to do with them once they bought one. My prime example has always been the ProBoat Miss Bud. OK, walking through the hobby shop you spot a boat that just about anyone can identify with. They figure that they'll buy one and try out boating. Most of them don't know how to tune a boat motor or launch the thing. Figuring that it's a piece of junk, off to eBay it goes. OK, it is a piece of junk but the one keyword above is tuning. They don't know that you have to run them a little rich, not screaming lean. They have to find a good needle setting, something that they don't have to with their Plug & Play electric.
Noise issues. Ran an electric boat just about anywhere and people won't gripe. Run a nitro or gas boat and people complain about the noise, most likely the same ones who own leaf blowers and noisy old lawnmowers.
Good nitro for boats isn't that easy to find. Hobby shops will carry fuel for planes and 4-wheelers but not for boats unless you want to buy a case of it.
|Jun 28, 2012, 06:23 PM
Yeah I agrees people don't no the fine line in tuning and foget the water changes it compared to the open air but people who no how to use them want them still... Anyway I'l find 1 around soon enough I'm sure just hard in oz not alot around.... What fuel do you use because I've noticed fuel really changes the whole set up alot... Cheers andy
