Ok since the fuel jet forum has moved to its new home, I thought I'd see if anyone was interested in a build your own turbine discussion. It's been awhile since I started this thread and maybe someone out there who is new to RCG can chime in too...

Hey mcjustis, first i have to say GREAT freakin' job!
And, second off, I have been trying to build a homemade jet engine for a while now.
I am well on my way in doing so.
My only problem was getting compressors, but the fact that you said you used a turbocharger compressor has given me an idea.
I will keep you updated on my progress.
I would love to hear more about your engine though too.
P.S. have you built a turbocharger jet engine also.
A friend and I have embarked on a new journey in doing so, after a friend of mine's father made one that produced almost 300 pounds of thrust.... It has given me inspiration also.
I will keep you updated on that progress of the turbocharger jet engine also.

I had just about given up on there being anyone interested in my posts here. It's been several months since anyone posted on this. It's good to see someone out there isn't brain dead. I would love to give you any help I can. If you can't find a compressor in junk yard, you can buy them pretty cheap anymore. Whatever size you can find I'd get it. They are pretty much all the same, they all use the same ratios and just size everything to the compressor. Don't let anyone tell you that they can't be made well. They absolutely can. My only stumbling block is the cash for a plane. I think I might just build from plans and save some cash. I think my wife would kill me if she cought me starting another plane anyway. Don't listen to people who don't have a clue, I actaully had some clown tell me NOBODY in the world can make a turbine that works, some people are just braindead. Anyway, keep us posted on your progress...later.

Hey mcjustis, there aren't any junkyards around here, so I have a problem with finding them.
P.S. where are you located?

Located in Columbus Indiana. I was born in Baltimore though. Don't know where Damascus MD is???
I can find the number of a guy somewhere who sells all type of turbo stuff. You might check ebay also. Sometimes in the auto parts you can find one. Like I said also don't worry about the size of it. You can size everything else from just the compressor. That's what I did.

Hey Ron,
Check this out...

Yeah, Damascus is about 20-30 minutes from Baltimore.
Right about in the middle of DC and Baltimore.
|Mar 10, 2006, 04:59 PM
Thanks a lot for the link bro.
I guess I'll order that one.

Ron, I just checked the size of that one. It's 65mm. It would probably be a good one to work with. Also the ones from a turbo are already balanced. By the way, what do you have in the way of machinery? Basically you need a mill, lathe, bench grinder, die grinder, a tig welder, and small hand tools. You may have to fashion some jigs and will definitely need to make a balancer. So what do you have done on the one you're making? Later...
|Mar 12, 2006, 12:45 PM
I have a lathe, a tig, and a bench grinder at the moment.
On the jet engine I have started the outer shell and fire holder cup.
As soon as the compressor comes I will buckle down and start the real building process.

What kind of setup are you using on the combustion chanber??? Are you going from a book or looking at another engine? There is a method to them and they need to be done correctly to work properly. If you want some good info check out Thomas Kamps book
It's a good book and you can pretty much build straight from his plans. Kurt Schreckling has a few good books, they are good for the theory and to see how they work, but I wouldn't build his FD3/64. VERY old outdated thing.
Let's see some pics of what you have. Also how big is the combustion chamber you have going. Do you have vaporizor tubes in, fuel ring???
|Mar 12, 2006, 09:18 PM
Na bro, nothing but the casing and fire holding cup so far.
I am working on the turbocharger jet engine more than the small one.
I will take your advice and get that book from the local borders.
So far I have been looking at other engines to get some ideas.
|Mar 12, 2006, 09:21 PM
I will try to get pics, I'll have to use a friends camera though.
|Mar 12, 2006, 09:47 PM
Wow MCJUSTIS!
I am impressed! I just bought RC Turbine Jets & Helicopter and was blown away by the jets being made today. I have been interested in building a jet engine for the longest time, but after reading 5bears website a few years ago, I was discouraged. I didn't think I could build one with my lowly Sherline mill and lathe. And now I see what you have done! I am inspired!

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|6 nights
Directly on the banks of Berlin's River Spree, dreamy, tranquil location with fabulous river & parkland views with majestic trees, yet within 10 min. drive to the Alexander Platz. And from there to the centre of the city with Brandenburger Gate, the Reichstag and the famous boulevard 'Unter den Linden,' Charlottenburg Palace, the Museum Island etc. and yet only a 5 min drive from the remnants of the Berlin Wall. Treptow Park across the river is ideal for biking, jogging, walking, fly-fishing and of course boating on the river & nearby lakes. The famous Zenner Biergarten is easily accessible. Treptow Park Center has a comprehensive selection of shops, banking and a post office, along with many eating opportunities. Take-away food is plentiful in and around the Treptow Park S-train station and the shopping center. Although ours is a peaceful residential location you don't have to go far to experience everything Berlin has to offer.
Bus & Rail Tickets & Transport Information: Bus tickets, S-Trains (Urban Railway) & U-Trains (Underground):: It's very easy to visit Berlin. The whole city is accessible by public transport, also by night, so a car is not a necessity. Tickets are valid for all public transport in Berlin. Train stations: Ticket dispensers have English language option. Buses: You pay driver direct.
The bus stops almost at the door. There are two services. Number 104 runs between Neu-Westend and Stralau. It's two stops up to Ostkreuz station, max 5min. journey.
Bus No. 347 runs between Stralau, via Warschauer Straße to Ostbahnhof, the next train station.
Other Useful Local Information: Bakery & Ice-Cream Parlour in our street is approx.300yards away. In the park by the marina is a smoke house preparing freshly smoked fish. Also a selection of food stands, restaurants and craft stores, popular in the summer time Close by the park (on Pushkinallee, which runs parallel with the park) is the famous Zenner Bier Garten and eating establishment which also houses a huge Burger King with great views over the Spree River. The Bridge over to the "hip-hang out" island is also located here. A little further up and to the left on Bulgarische Strasse (parking area) is a good Restaurant on a boat with a terrace, seafood is the speciality here, and is a lovely spot to watch the sunset.
Ostbahnhof's extensive shopping mall is open on Sunday's, when there is also a huge fleamarket at the rear of the station.
EasyJet flies directly to Berlin's Schoenfeld airport, a half hour drive by car to your Holiday-Home. You may also take the S-train to Treptow Park and a short bus ride or taxi to the apartment. A bus stop, 25 yards from the front door, with buses every 15 min., connects you to Berlin's amazing public transport system. Or, take a 10 min. walk to the S-trains and the pulsating city life. There is a mail box just across the street for your postcards From Treptow's quaint harbour you may take a tourist sight-seeing boat or one with dinner and dancing on board. Boat rentals are nearby, as well as a sea plane if you want a flying view of Berlin. Nearby Friedrichshain is a poplular 'in-district' with a lively cosmopolitan atmosphere and a multitude of restaurants & bars offering a vast array of mouthwatering cuisine. Other famous destinations such as Potsdam & San Souci are reached by train also from Treptow S-train station. An unforgettable trip to Spreewald 100km south is a must.

10 July 2012
The political unrest and widespread insecurity have made the northern regions of Mali inaccessible to major UN humanitarian organizations. However, WFP has been exploring all possible ways and transportation channels, partnering with various NGOs, to try to deliver food to vulnerable populations.
29 June 2012
For the third time in a decade, drought in the Sahel region of Africa is threatening millions of people with hunger. But how do people survive in these situations and what are we doing to help them? Here are the answers to eight questions about the current hunger crisis in the Sahel and WFP's response to it.
14 June 2012
For the first time in Mali, WFP has started cash-based food assistance - the most vulnerable will receive money that will help them buy food on the local market and prepare for the planting season.
9 June 2012
The US Ambassador in Mali visited WFP activities in the Kayes region of Mali, where around 300,000 people are at risk of food insecurity.
23 May 2012
WFP has launched an emergency operation to deliver life-saving food assistance to thousands of people fleeing conflict in Mali. As refugees stream into areas already strained by drought in the Sahel, it's imperative to reach them with assistance in time for the summer Hunger Season.
8 May 2012
The telecoms company Orange has donated close to $100,000 to WFP to provide much-needed food assistance to internally displaced people in Mali.
23 March 2012
Fighting in northern Mali has forced tens of thousands to flee their homes. While some people have fled across borders into neighboring countries, others have had to move to other parts of the country.
23 March 2012
A full-scale food and nutrition crisis is looming in Mali following significant crop and pastures shortages. Recent clashes between the Malian army and armed combatants in the north of the country have also displaced tens of thousands of people.
30 January 2012
For the third time in a decade, drought has returned to the Sahel region of West Africa bringing hunger to millions of people across the region. WFP is pre-positioning food assistance ahead of the annual lean season when the vulnerable – especially women and children – are most at risk of malnutrition.
15 September 2011
In early September, WFP nutrition focal points and their government counterparts from 18 countries across West Africa gathered in Dakar for a four-day workshop.

Cheap Flights to Elko
The small city of Elko offers visitors a large variety of entertainment options. Located in northern Nevada, the small town claims less than 20,000 residents, making it a relaxing alternative to the big city. The main attraction here is the area's natural beauty. Just north of Elko is the Humboldt National Forest. Covering more than 6 million acres dispersed throughout several Nevada counties, the forest is the largest national forest outside of Alaska. Here, tourists can hike through the wilderness while observing the dazzling array of indigenous plant and animal life. The city also boasts examples of interesting architecture, including the main U.S. Post Office and the Elko County Courthouse, which are both listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Elko is home to a significant population of Basques, nomadic people from Spain and France. Drawn initially to the area during the Gold Rush, the Basques stayed and established a permanent community. Today, visitors can sample their unique cuisine at a number of Basque restaurants or observe their culture at the annual National Basque Festival. Tourists can frequently find Elko hotel deals near one of the city's several casinos. You can compare flight discounts to Elko on Travelzoo's SuperSearch.
Which Airlines Fly to Elko?
The Elko Regional Airport (EKO) serves Elko County. You can buy airfare from Salt Lake City on Delta to this small facility. Otherwise, the only way to get to this remote town is by flying into either Reno or Salt Lake City. Reno is more than four hours west of Elko, while Salt Lake City is about three-and-a-half hours east.
Elko Flight Tips
You can search for plane tickets to Salt Lake City on American Airlines, American Eagle, Continental, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue Airways, Southwest, United and US Airways. Meanwhile, you can compare flights to Reno on American Airlines, American Eagle, Continental, Delta, Horizon Air, Southwest, United and US Airways. If you do fly into one of these cities, check out some of the local attractions. Salt Lake City has a large arts community, while Reno features a vibrant nightlife scene. You can also reserve some time out of your trip to go on a ski excursion. Both Reno and Salt Lake City boast several ski resorts within a short driving distance.
Quick Travel Guide to Elko
If you are driving to Elko from Reno, make a stop at the Humboldt State Wildlife Management Area. This small state park features beautiful natural areas and hikeable terrain. It's also the home of the Lovelock Indian Caves. Located on top of a high hill, the cave is about 40 feet deep and 160 feet wide. Native American artifacts, dating back as far as 4,000 years, have been found within the cave. Many of these artifacts are on display at the Humboldt Museum in the small town of Winnemucca, another stop along the way to Elko.
If you are driving to Elko from Salt Lake City, stop at the Bonneville Salt Flats State Park located within five miles of the Utah-Nevada borer. Stretching more than 30,000 acres, the park features a seemingly unending white plain of earth and salt. Because of its unique flatness, the site is popular among high-speed auto racers. In fact, some specially designed vehicles have driven across the white plain at more than 600 miles per hour. Continue driving along Interstate 80 to Wells, Nevada, which features hunting and fishing grounds as well as a nine-hole golf course.
In Elko, you can try to strike it rich like the region's original prospector inhabitants at one of the town's casinos. Many of the casinos have adjoining or nearby accommodations as well as on-site entertainment and dining options. The Commercial Casino is famous for the 10-foot tall stuffed polar bear on display in its lobby.
Elko is also home to the Western Folklife Center. The regional nonprofit is host to the annual National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. This weeklong event celebrates life in the rural West through the art of poetry. The event draws thousands of cowboys, cowgirls, poets, musicians and scholars from around the country. The center also hosts regular events, workshops and exhibitions.
Venture outside of Elko to rural Nevada. Beside the amazing wilderness that awaits you, you will find dozens of ghost towns. Relics from the Gold Rush boom of the 19th century, these abandoned towns have become some of the top tourist attractions in this fairly uninhabited part of the country. You can also drive about an hour north of Elko to the Humboldt National Forest, located right along the Nevada-Idaho border.

II-VI Incorporated Achieves Record Fourth Quarter And Fiscal Year 2013 Revenues; Exits Tellurium And Selenium Chemical Businesses; Increases HIGHYAG Ownership To 100%
For the first fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2013, the Company currently forecasts revenues to range from $140 million to $145 million and earnings per share to range from $0.18 to $0.23. Comparable results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were revenues of $132.3 million and earnings per share of $0.20. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, the Company expects revenues to increase between 6% and 9% and earnings per share to increase between 20% and 30% compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Comparable results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 were revenues of $558.4 million and earnings per share of $0.80. As discussed in more detail below, actual results may differ from these forecasts due to various factors including, but not limited to, changes in product demand, competition and general economic conditions.
Webcast Information
The Company will host a conference call at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, August 1, 2013 to discuss these results. The conference call will be broadcast live over the internet and can be accessed by all interested parties from the Company's web site at www.ii-vi.com as well as at http://tinyurl.com/njlfdto . A replay of the webcast will be available for two weeks following the call.Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company has disclosed adjusted financial measurements in this press release that present financial information that is not in accordance with GAAP. These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, although the Company's management uses these measurements as an aid in monitoring the Company's on-going financial performance. The adjusted Non-GAAP net earnings attributable to II-VI Incorporated and adjusted Non-GAAP earnings per share measure the earnings of the Company excluding unusual items that are considered by management to be outside of the normal on-going operations of the Company. There are limitations with the use of Non-GAAP financial measures, including that Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies; that there can be no assurance that excluded items in the Non-GAAP financial measures will not occur in the future, and that there could be cash costs associated with items excluded in the Non-GAAP financial measures. The Company compensates for these limitations by using these Non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by providing the reconciliations of the Non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors should consider adjusted measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

A joint statement from Haringey Council and Highgate Wood School
Publication date: Wednesday 6 August 2014
At the end of the school summer term a former Highgate Wood School assistant headteacher, Andy Adams, was sentenced to jail for a series of serious offences committed during the early 1980s, when he was a PE teacher at the school.
Mr Adams taught at Highgate Wood until 2004 and continued to occasionally support the school's work experience programme until 2010. The offences first came to light several years after Mr Adams' retirement from teaching and some time after any ongoing involvement he had with the school had ended. However, the very understandable shock and concern felt by parents and carers about this case is shared by both the wider school community and the local authority.
The school and the council take responsibility for safeguarding children extremely seriously, and have clear and robust procedures for reporting and investigating any concerns.
Given the very serious nature of the concerns raised by this case, the independent Chair of the Haringey Local Safeguarding Children's Board is going to review how the case has been handled since the allegations were received. Both the school and the council very much welcome this.

This is nice little heat gun. I have it mounted vertically to the side my service bench to use for heat shrink tubing.
It provides good heat, at just the right temperature, without the hassle of using a full-sized heat gun.
Glad I purchased this item. It is used on a daily basis.
I had a real difficult time finding the dimensions of this heat gun anywhere on the Internet. I never did, and I didn't want another heat gun sized device that is more difficult to work with than a lighter for working with shrink sleeving. I decided to buy it anyway and I'm glad I did. This gun heats up quickly and works great for most sizes of shrink sleeving and adhesive-lined sleeving even on the low setting. The approximate envelope is 2.5 inches tall, 2 inches wide, and 9 inches long. I saw a couple of different weights listed online as well, the gun itself (without flexible cord) weighs 8.05 oz.

For Debbie Benko, owner of Fitness Bootcamp Canada, boot camps aren't just for sculpting muscles and melting calories. They're a tool for shedding hang-ups and unlocking pent-up potential. A certified personal trainer and enthusiastic life coach, Debbie draws upon more than 20 years of fitness expertise and recent training in neuro-linguistic programming to help women become more focused and resilient. She's also driven by an important lesson learned while teaching English overseas: everyone wants to feel valued, no matter how they look, where they live, or what language they speak. To blaze a trail to the future, people often need to look at the past, at those times when they've felt undervalued or misunderstood. "That's why I'm about making breakthroughs," Debbie explains. "I help my clients take a close look at why they want to accomplish a particular goal and how their past has affected that goal so far." Listening carefully is a key to achieving these breakthroughs, as is a strong support system. During one-on-one activities such as nutrition consultations, Debbie showers clients with personal attention while helping them make positive changes in their lives, from planning healthier meals to establishing clear boundaries with overly clingy shadows. She rallies exercisers of all levels for indoor boot-camp classes, where team-like camaraderie propels each participant toward goals while enhancing confidence and self-esteem. Most classes teem with calisthenics, plyometrics, and short sprints, which boost energy levels while toning muscles throughout the body. Exercises are often performed in intervals to maximize calorie burn and cultivate endurance at a manageable pace.
After decades of winning the admiration of stock-car racing fans with his aggressive driving strategy and off-track charisma, Rusty Wallace now gives others the chance to experience the rush of racing. He joined forces with Sodikart to roll out the Rusty Wallace Kart Experience, pairing kart with driver at some of the country's most celebrated racetracks. Racers can hop in a custom RT8 (or its kid-friendly counterpart, the LR4) and hit the gas, tearing up everything from the versatile road courses and speedy main track of the Atlanta Motor Speedway to the challenging lava pits of the Milwaukee Mile.
But this go-karting business has a big brother?the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience. It's a high-speed trip into the pro-racing trade, with breathtaking ride-alongs and racing experiences in stock cars. Guests buckle up and sit shotgun alongside professional drivers as they fly down straightaways and around curves. They can even get behind the wheel themselves, finally feeling what it's like to be a professional driver.
Since its opening in 1963, the Canadian Automotive Museum has honored the automotive industry by displaying mint-condition vehicles, some of which date back to the beginning of the 20th century. Many of these cars were manufactured in Canada, whereas others come from America or overseas?but each one has a history that educates and entices visitors.
Size: 25,000 square feet, enough room to hold more than 60 vehicles plus motorcycles, bicycles, and trucks
The Building: a former 1920's car dealership, featuring the original elevator that moved cars from floor to floor when they were too lazy to take the stairs
Eye Catcher: the only remaining 1903 Redpath Messenger; built in Kitchener, its original owner was one of the first employees of the famed Canadian car company
Don't Miss: Lady Eaton's 1912 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost
Pro Tip: the museum and gift shop are both cash only, so hit the ATM on your way there
Wings & Slicks' professional instructors pass on heart-pumping tutelage during stunt-driving and formula-car-racing experiences in the United States and Canada. The pro drivers impart pupils with the skills needed to execute a variety of as-seen-on-TV stunts, including slalom-course runs and reverse 180-degree spins, or to navigate the track in a Formula 2000 car capable of going from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than three seconds. Each once-in-a-lifetime adventure revs up adrenalin levels while prioritizing safety; every experience begins with a lesson and includes protective equipment. Wings & Slicks, which was recently featured in a The Globe and Mail story, also baits competitive edges with timed events that pit drivers head-to-head in a test of dexterity, skill, and not closing one's eyes during the hard parts.
Curling is in Chad McMullan's blood. After spending his childhood Sundays watching his parents compete at their favourite Winnipeg rink, Chad carried on the family tradition, notching victories in multiple World Curling Tour outings, two appearances in Canadian national championships, and one imaginary sleepover with the Governor-General over the course of his career. After stints as Executive Director of the World Curling Tour and World Curling Players' Association, Chad brought his icy know-how to Rock Solid Productions, which applies curling's fundamental team-building qualities to everything from business retreats to beginner's lessons. The group's in-school training program introduces curling to 100,000 students each year, helping Chad share his childhood love of the game with the next generation of competitors.
Glowing monkeys scamper toward a neon waterfall, and a knight bearing a radiant yellow lance rides past a bright orange octopus emerging from the ocean. What appears to be a time-traveling session gone awry is really the evolving environment within Putting Edge's indoor black-lit mini-golf course, which whisks players to deep seas, Aztec jungles, and medieval times. Since opening its original location in Canada, Putting Edge has now expanded to 16 North American locations, all of which invite guests onto its challenging 18-hole courses to seek victory over opponents and the forces that keep their teeth from not glowing as brightly as they could. Elsewhere, the facility houses private party rooms, concessions, and an arcade filled with gamer favorites such as air hockey.

Officers hunt Calif. suspect in family killings
Authorities are searching for a 45-year-old man they say fatally shot his wife and two young daughters in their rural Northern California home.
The Associated Press
Authorities are searching for a 45-year-old man they say fatally shot his wife and two young daughters in their rural Northern California home.
Shane Franklin Miller, wanted in the killings in Shingletown, is believed to be heavily armed and extremely dangerous, authorities said.
"There is a manhunt for him right now," Sheriff's Lt. Dave Kent said Wednesday. "He's a prime suspect. We're not looking for anybody else."
Kent said Shasta County Sheriff's deputies received a call from Miller's residence around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday. When they arrived, they found the bodies of Miller's wife, Sandy, 34, and two daughters, Shelby, 8, and Shasta, 4.
All three had been shot multiple times, Kent said.
Kent said investigators had not determined who placed the call, but he said it was from one of the victims as the shooting was in progress.
Investigators have released a photo of Miller and said he is believed be driving a gold-colored 2010 Dodge Mega Cab pickup with a camper shell.
Late Wednesday, the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office said it received calls from the public that Miller was seen driving in a rural area near Petrolia, about 40 miles south of Eureka. The department said in a release that officers found the truck abandoned and were searching the area.
Authorities have not recovered the gun, or guns, believed to have been used in the shooting, but Kent said more weapons were found in the house.
"We found several different types of weapons, ammunition in the house, so he may be heavily fortified at this time," Kent told The Associated Press.
Miller may be heading to a cabin in coastal Humboldt County, where authorities have said several weapons may be stored.
Initially, authorities believed the cabin was in Ferndale, about 180 miles west of Shingletown, a drive of nearly four hours over rural highways.
But Kent said Wednesday evening he could not confirm the location, and Ferndale Police Chief Bret Smith said there was a residence in nearby Petrolia, not Ferndale, where Miller has stayed in the past.
Lt. Steve Knight, a Humboldt County sheriff's spokesman, said authorities there were working with Shasta County sheriff's officials, but he declined to provide any details about the search.
The two-story house where the shooting took place is nestled among pine trees, with a detached garage and shed in the back. The Redding Searchlight reported that horses and llamas graze on the property.
Investigators had not determined a motive for the shooting, but Kent noted deputies had gone to the home last month on a domestic dispute call.
Schools in the rural community of about 2,000 people about 230 miles northeast of San Francisco were locked down during the day Wednesday, and a forest harvest demonstration for local schools set for Wednesday and Thursday was rescheduled for next week.
Miller's two daughters both attended school in the Black Butte Union Elementary School District, district superintendent Don Aust, told The Record Searchlight.
The girls' parents pulled Shelby out of the elementary school and Shasta out of the preschool programs around three to four weeks ago, Aust said.

Rooms to rent in London
With a population of over 8 million people, London is not only the biggest city in Britain but in the whole of Europe. What sets London apart from other cities is the fact that it covers a massive 620 square miles and as a consequence offers numerous distinct areas and boroughs. As a result of its sheer size and variation combined with high rental costs, finding a flatshare in London can be quite challenging and requires research and insider knowledge.
The area:
London is best seen as a magnificent set of smaller parts making up the vast whole; it is split into Central, North, West, South and East London, each with their own boroughs full of unique character to suit all budgets, from Westminster to Shoreditch.
For example, once regarded as the 'poor end of town', East London is now a thriving multi-cultural area that covers boroughs as diverse as Bethnal Green, Hackney and Poplar. The centre for much of the London Olympics 2012, the 'East End' has enjoyed significant regeneration and as a direct result is fast becoming the location of choice for professionals seeking a flatshare close to Wapping.
The facts and figures
- Average monthly room rental: £563
- Average time to find a room: 33 days
- Average time to let a room: 31 days
- Professionals renting rooms: 73%
- Students renting rooms: 27%

I saw that you re-installed DX when DXN came out.
We are the Resistance... We fight, map, model, basically do everything to develop mods and help out people, we are a small group of foreigns and other races.
I will still have my ideas and all that but now I am saving them for something else...
Posted by TLKwarrior on May 31st, 2013
This is it! The project known as "The Fallen Resistance" is now cancelled. Even though I really haven't really worked on it much because I was coming up with more ideas to the map. But 8 months later I started using UDK and I would be willing to work with it because of how easier it is than UnrealED to map. This project will take years of planning and applying those plans and ideas to the new Fallen Resistance. Don't let your hopes down. I will still be there and not let the development of Fallen Resistance fall.
I saw that you re-installed DX when DXN came out.
Yes I did, gotta get some fresh ideas.

Hello everyone and welcome to my newest article! Today I will be talking about TNA wrestling star Bubblegum and why I feel he deserves a spot on TNA British Boot Camp 2!
Bubblegum is a phenomenal wrestler and he is without a doubt in my mind one of the best wrestlers in the UK today. One thing that really stands out to me about Bubblegum when I watch his matches is that he is really good with his timing, Bubblegum always seems to react, take a move, and sell something at the right time and it's honestly great to see. In addition to this Bubblegum is a great high flyer and he has great athleticism that helps mesh his wrestling style into one awesome flow when he is in the ring. Another great thing about his wrestling is that he always seems to surprise you at least a few times in every single one of his matches whether it be a surprise/hard hitting kick or a well executed flying maneuver. Despite Bubblegum being a shorter wrestler he is in my opinion one of the best talents by far that the UK has to offer and with his great wrestling ability he will have a bright future no matter where he ends up but if TNA was smart they would hop on this opportunity and take a deeper look into Bubblegum by putting him on this year's British Boot Camp 2!
As we all know a great attribute for any wrestler to have is to be great on the mic, Bubblegum has "IT" when it comes to mic work and he keeps you interested throughout his entire promos. Why is Bubblegum so great on the mic and in promos? Well the answer to that is Bubblegum has the ability to stay in character, utilize his time that he is given to perfection, and his promos are very interesting, his promos are usually very funny as well which keeps the fans invested into his work and it catches their eye. Some heels today tend to just be boring and you kind of want to go to bed when they are speaking but with Bubblegum he just has that ability to make anyone laugh but he can also be serious when it comes to kicking ass in the ring, which is refreshing to even the most critical wrestling fan. TNA please just give Bubblegum one chance and he will wow you, that is a promise.
Next we have his look and his character…. Bubblegum has a unique bad ass gangster type look from his attire to his attitude and he utilizes it perfectly to the point that you think this is how he really is in person. Bubblegum is probably the funniest wrestler in the world and I say that because like I said hes funny but he also proves himself in the ring to be a top notch competitor when you have great mic skills, great character work, and great wrestling collide into one bad ass wrestler it works 100% of the time and that's exactly how Bubblegum is. As an addition to all of this great stuff that Bubblegum has he can also create a large amount of heat from insulting the crowd to beating the crap out of the fan favorite that he is put up against. TNA, Bubblegum is a bad ass and would fit on the roster… So sign him damn it!
Lastly we have the all important question that I ask at the very end of each of these articles. How can Bubblegum help TNA? Well TNA needs more X-Division stars and right now they have a lot of great talent but do they have enough heels in the X-Division? The answer is no. Tigre Uno, Manik, Sanada, DJ Z, and Crazzy Steve are really the only 24/7 X-division talents and with the rumors that appear to be true about Low Ki and Homicide getting signed by TNA (which is awesome) they are still faces. That leaves us with DJ Z being the only heel in the X-division, I really want Low Ki & Homicide in TNA but I feel we also need a fresh bad ass new guy that is a heel like Bubblegum to join the roster and that's why I feel he would fit right in with TNA and the growing X-Division! Bubblegum can get the job done and prove to be a top talent in TNA not just the X-Division! So TNA… When are you going to announce Bubblegum as one of the members on this years British Boot Camp 2 huh? We are all waiting…. patiently!
Well that's it everyone, I hope that you enjoyed this article! Please tweet this article to Dixie Carter (@TNADixie), Jeremy Borash (@JeremyBorash) and to the official British Boot Camp twitter (@BritishBootCamp) I would really appreciate it! Also if you could please tweet this article to Bubblegum (@Pipbubblegum) and tag me in these tweets @TheByronTaylor It would mean the world to me if Bubblegum read this and if you helped me it would better the chances of that happening! Keep tweeting #Bubblegum4BritishBootCamp2 and spread the word about this hard working and phenomenal wrestler, I hope that you have a great day everyone!

Kernel smoothing function estimate
[f,xi] = ksdensity(x) returns a probability density estimate, f, for the sample in the vector x. The estimate is based on a normal kernel function, and is evaluated at 100 equally spaced points, xi, that cover the range of the data in x.
ksdensity works best with continuously distributed samples.
[f,xi] = ksdensity(x,pts) returns a probability density estimate, f, for the sample in the vector x, evaluated at the specified values in vector pts. Here, the xi and pts vectors contain identical values.
[f,xi] = ksdensity(x,pts,Name,Value) returns a probability density estimate, f, for the sample in the vector x, with additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments.
For example, you can define the function type ksdensity evaluates, such as probability density, cumulative probability, survivor function, and so on. Or you can specify the bandwidth of the smoothing window.
Generate a sample data set from a mixture of two normal distributions.
rng default % for reproducibility x = [randn(30,1); 5+randn(30,1)];
Plot the estimated density.
[f,xi] = ksdensity(x); figure plot(xi,f);
The density estimate shows the bimodality of the sample.
Load the sample data.
load hospital
Compute and plot the estimated cdf evaluated at a specified set of values.
pts = (min(hospital.Weight):2:max(hospital.Weight)); figure() ecdf(hospital.Weight) hold on [f,xi,bw] = ksdensity(hospital.Weight,pts,'support','positive',... 'function','cdf'); plot(xi,f,'-g','LineWidth',2) legend('empirical cdf','kernel-bw:default','Location','NorthWest') xlabel('Patient weights') ylabel('Estimated cdf')
ksdensity seems to smooth the cumulative distribution function estimate too much. An estimate with a smaller bandwidth might produce a closer estimate to the empirical cumulative distribution function.
Return the bandwidth of the smoothing window.
bw = 0.1070
Plot the cumulative distribution function estimate using a smaller bandwidth.
[f,xi] = ksdensity(hospital.Weight,pts,'support','positive',... 'function','cdf','bandwidth',0.05); plot(xi,f,'--r','LineWidth',2) legend('empirical cdf','kernel-bw:default','kernel-bw:0.05',... 'Location','NorthWest') hold off
The ksdensity estimate with a smaller bandwidth matches the empirical cumulative distribution function better.
Load the sample data.
load hospital
Plot the estimated cdf evaluated at 50 equally spaced points.
figure() ksdensity(hospital.Weight,'support','positive','function','cdf',... 'npoints',50) xlabel('Patient weights') ylabel('Estimated cdf')
Generate sample data from an exponential distribution with mean 3.
rng default % for reproducibility x = random('exp',3,100,1);
Create a logical vector that indicates censoring. Here, observations with lifetimes longer than 10 are censored.
T = 10; cens = (x>10);
Compute and plot the estimated density function.
figure ksdensity(x,'support','positive','censoring',cens);
Compute and plot the survivor function.
figure ksdensity(x,'support','positive','censoring',cens,... 'function','survivor');
Compute and plot the cumulative hazard function.
figure ksdensity(x,'support','positive','censoring',cens,... 'function','cumhazard');
Generate a mixture of two normal distributions, and plot the estimated inverse cumulative distribution function at a specified set of probability values.
rng default % for reproducibility x = [randn(30,1); 5+randn(30,1)]; pi = linspace(.01,.99,99); figure ksdensity(x,pi,'function','icdf');
Generate a mixture of two normal distributions.
rng default % For reproducibility x = [randn(30,1); 5+randn(30,1)];
Return the bandwidth of the smoothing window for the probability density estimate.
[f,xi,bw] = ksdensity(x); bw
bw = 1.5141
The default bandwidth is optimal for normal densities.
Plot the estimated density.
figure plot(xi,f); xlabel('xi') ylabel('f') hold on
Plot the density using an increased bandwidth value.
[f,xi] = ksdensity(x,'width',1.8); plot(xi,f,'--r','LineWidth',1.5)
A higher bandwidth further smooths the density estimate, which might mask some characteristics of the distribution.
Now, plot the density using a decreased bandwidth value.
[f,xi] = ksdensity(x,'width',0.8); plot(xi,f,'-.k','LineWidth',1.5) legend('bw = default','bw = 1.8','bw = 0.8') hold off
A smaller bandwidth smooths the density estimate less, which exaggerates some characteristics of the sample.
Sample data, for which ksdensity returns f values, specified as a column vector.
Example: [f,xi] = ksdensity(x)
Data Types: single | double
Points to evaluate f at, specified as a vector. pts can be a row or column vector. f has the same dimensions as pts.
Example: pts = (0:1:25); ksdensity(x,pts);
Data Types: single | double
Axes handle for the figure ksdensity plots to, specified as a handle.
For example, if h is a handle for a figure, then ksdensity can plot to that figure as follows.
Example: ksdensity(h,x)
Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside single quotes (' '). You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.Example: 'censoring',cens,'kernel','triangle','npoints',20,'function','cdf' specifies that ksdensity estimates the cdf by evaluating at 20 equally spaced points that covers the range of data, using the triangle kernel smoothing function and accounting for the censored data information in vector cens.
Logical vector indicating which entries are censored, specified as a vector of binary values. A value of 0 indicates there is no censoring, 1 indicates that observation is censored. Default is there is no censoring.
Example: 'censoring',censdata
Data Types: logical
Type of kernel smoother, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'kernel' and one of the following.
'normal' (default)
You can also specify a custom kernel function, as a function handle or as a string, e.g., @normpdf or 'normpdf'. This calls the function with one argument that is an array of distances between data values and locations where the density is evaluated. The function must return an array of the same size containing corresponding values of the kernel function.
When 'function' is 'pdf', this kernel function returns density values. Otherwise, it returns cumulative probability values.
Specifying a custom kernel when 'function' is 'icdf' returns an error.
If 'support' is 'positive', then ksdensity transforms x using a log function, estimates the density of the transformed values, and transforms back to the original scale. If 'support' is a vector [L U], then ksdensity uses the transformation log((X-L)/(U-X)). The width parameter and bw outputs are on the scale of the transformed values.
Example: 'kernel','box'
Data Types: char | function_handle
Number of equally spaced points in xi, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'npoints' and a scalar value.
For instance, for a kernel smooth estimate of a specified function at 80 equally spaced points within the range of sample data, input:
Example: 'npoints',80
Data Types: single | double
Support for the density, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'support' and one of the following.
|Default. Allow the density to extend over the whole real line.
|Restrict the density to positive values.
|Two-element vector, [L U]
|Give the finite lower and upper bounds for the support of the density.
Example: 'support','positive'
Example: 'support',[0 10]
Data Types: single | double | char
Weights for each x value, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'weights' and a vector of the same length as x.
For instance, if the weights for the data values are in vector xw, then you can specify the weights as follows.
Example: 'weights',xw
Data Types: single | double
The bandwidth of the kernel-smoothing window, which is a function of the number of points in x, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'width' and a scalar. The default is optimal for estimating normal densities, but you might want to choose a larger or smaller value to smooth more or less.
Example: 'bandwidth',0.8
Data Types: single | double
Function to estimate, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'function' and one of the following.
|Default. Probability density function.
|Cumulative distribution function.
Inverse cumulative distribution function. For 'icdf', f = ksdensity(x,pi,'function','icdf') computes the estimated inverse cdf of the values in x, and evaluates it at the probability values specified in pi.
|Survivor function.
|Cumulative hazard function.
Example: 'function','icdf'
Data Types: char
Bandwidth of smoothing window, returned as a scalar value.

Please provide more context - who is the end user here, and what setting? is this for a Webplayer, as standalone build, or an editor tool?
Jan 11, 2010 at 11:01 AM duck ♦♦
There is no built in file browser for the player, so you would need to roll your own using the .net frameworks classes for file system access. A while ago I wrote a UnityGUI one - it could probably use a lot of love, but it is a good starting point.
This of-course only works for stand-alones - not webplayers (security restricts access to the users file system). If you need to allow the user to upload files to your webplayer, you should go through HTML forms for that.
I've done that before and a good trick is to have your webplayer run in a frameset with a zero pixel tall data frame which you would use to communicate with the upload process. You can use Application.ExternalEval to add your upload form to the surrounding HTML.
The trick is then to have this form target the dataframe with your receiving server-side script - overseeing the file upload operation. Once the upload is completed, your server-side script (now outputting to the hidden dataframe) should output javascript to hide the HTML form and send the URL of the uploaded file to the webplayer.

Thanks for the info. I'm new to all this so it's a bit beyond my reach at the moment. Is there an easy .fla (flash) file on the web that will do what you describe, or is PHP the key to make it happen.
Jan 11, 2010 at 08:51 PM peter
As far as I know you can't use flash for server-side scripting. Something like ASP/Perl or PHP as you suggest would be needed for that.

Why not use WWWForm to upload the image? The example shows already how to send a screenshot out of Unity to the server: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/WWWForm.html

In the editor, you can use EditorUtility.OpenFilePanel to show an window in which the user can select a file, and the path of the selected file is returned. You can then use that load the file or do whatever you want with it. I don't know of anything similar you can use in your actual application, but you could use a simple text field in which the user enters the name of the file they want to load. Creating a full-blown file-select dialog where the user can browser their hard-drive and external devices would be more difficult.
answered Jan 11, 2010 at 03:53 AM
I tried the script found at your link called EditorUtility.OpenFilePanel a " Can't add script behaviour openfile. The script needs to derive from MonoBehaviour!" was the result. Am I missing something?
Thx for our help!
I also tried putting the script in Assets/Editor and Unity reports back error.
Jan 11, 2010 at 05:29 AM peter
It means exactly what it says, the class your trying to use the function in has to be a child of the MonoBehaviour class. If you're using JavaScript and don't use the class declaration, that's the default. But if you are using the class declaration, or you're using C# or Boo, you'll have to specify that it inherits from MonoBehaviour.
Also, the script WILL need to be in the Assets/Editor folder.

I'm working with UniFileBrowser. you wil get it in the Asset Store or directly from starscene It's easy to integrate and works perfectly for standalones.

All About Jobs
Higher education institutions are more career-focused than ever
Although there's a lot to love about campus life no matter when you head to college or grad school, the most important thing for most students and schools is what happens after graduation. Accordingly, preparing students to succeed in the workforce is a priority for just about every institution in the state.
Most of us still need to work for a living, so it makes sense that we pay attention to unemployment rates and hiring trends. And with an economy teetering on the brink of both recovery and recession, it's only natural to wonder which way things will go.
Educational institutions are paying attention, too. Not solely the ivory towers of personal growth and edification, today's higher education institutions recognize that students expect career preparation, if not career training. Regardless of whether a program or course is theoretical or practical, it must ultimately improve a student's career and earning potential.
"We see less and less emphasis on the job description and more on the individuals' abilities to grow and learn as jobs themselves change," says Janice Miller, associate dean of academic affairs at the UW-Milwaukee Lubar School of Business. "At the Lubar School, we do a good job of encouraging our students to be entrepreneurial, think broadly across the functions of business, and appreciate the necessity to be lifelong learners so they will remain ready for the dynamic business environment."
Attitudes are similar at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Wisconsin School of Business. "We don't look at what we're doing as a training program," says Steve Schroeder, assistant dean for the bachelor's of business administration program and director of its Business Career Center. "We're different than that. We're not in the profession of training students for a particular job. I think what we do–and do particularly well–is train students on how to think, how to solve problems and how to analyze situations."
Of course, that doesn't mean UW-Madison isn't concerned with helping students secure jobs. Quite the contrary: Career placement is just as integral to its business school's success as its rigorous academics. A cornerstone of these efforts is its robust campus recruitment program that draws more than 400 prospective employers annually and boasts that about 80 percent of students actively looking will find employment prior to graduation. The companies hiring UW-Madison grads would sound familiar and impressive to just about anyone. They include Google, GE, Goldman Sachs, Target and the Big Four accounting firms, among others.
"This year, we will bring in about 425 different companies," Schroeder says. "That's a pretty good ratio when you consider we have only about 500 students looking for full-time jobs."
This kind of career focus, Schroeder says, makes sense for a business school, as its students tend to be particularly end-oriented right from the beginning. Conversations about internships and career placement begin in the high school recruiting phase, and a school's placement services and success are key benchmarks for business education. So while UW-Madison doesn't train students for specific jobs, it does concentrate on preparing students for career success upon graduation and beyond.
And it's working: The average undergraduate business student has two to three job offers by graduation.
UW-Milwaukee's Lubar School of Business also hosts on-campus recruiting in the fall and spring, and it offers workshops and mock interviews to prepare students. Like most business schools, it maintains a healthy internship program, which often leads to full-time employment, says Greg Krejci, director of career services.
"By the time they're seniors, many students have had two successful internships and a job already lined up," Krejci says.
Location is an advantage for Lubar School students, Krejci says. Milwaukee is a large enough city to afford vast opportunities to students during both the school year and summers. Many students take advantage of that by working as many as 20 hours per week during the semester. What's more, the majority of Lubar School internships are paid, so students can offset some of their tuition costs.
"When it comes time to get a job, relevant work experience is probably the most important factor," Krejci says. Students who have solid work experience, often in the form of internships, along with good grade point averages and solid presentation in interviews regularly secure full-time jobs within four months of graduation, regardless of the economy.
The promise of career options is part of what makes the business school at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside an attractive choice as well. UW-Parkside, the second-smallest of UW's four-year universities, claims a 90 percent placement rate for business students.
Joel Buschmann, assistant director of transfer and international recruitment, says UW-Parkside capitalizes on its small size to offer more personalized support and career services to students. Indeed, the intimate campus of just 5,175 undergrads and 125 graduate students enables students to develop closer relationships with professors and campus administrators. Those relationships, Buschmann says, prove invaluable for landing internships and even jobs.
"A lot of students think graduation is a guarantee, and it's not," Buschmann says, noting what many people in the working world learned fairly soon after taking off the cap and gown: It takes more than a degree to land a good job these days.
Buschmann explains that a lot of hiring happens through word-of-mouth. A business executive on one of UW-Parkside's advisory boards will mention a job opening to a faculty member. That faculty member will pass along the notice to students and even encourage certain students to apply. She might even make a personal recommendation for a student who seems particularly apt or skilled.
Many UW-Parkside students are drawn to the campus for this intimacy and opportunity to develop relationships with faculty. The hope is that those relationships will not only enhance a student's learning opportunities on campus but will also create connections that facilitate career opportunities beyond college. Buschmann says it works more often than not.
"Here at UW-Parkside, our professors get to know our students, and the personal attention students get makes a difference when it's time to get a job," Buschmann says.
That bears out, he says, no matter what the field, although disciplines such as business and criminal justice tend to have more obvious paths to careers than the humanities.
Where are the jobs?
It stands to reason that graduates want a job soon after graduation. And despite the dour economic news, many of them are getting their wish. So where are they working?
The short answer is everywhere. Krejci says the Lubar School works with businesses of all sizes in its recruitment efforts, and students find jobs in various disciplines and industries. He does note, however, that even within the business schools, certain courses of study are a bit more recession-proof than others. Accounting, he notes, was the last to get hit by the recession when recruitment demand dipped for the first time. It has since recovered, and Krejci expects it to remain strong.
"There are so many different ways you can go with accounting," he says, listing off traditional accounting firms along with government, private-sector and nonprofit employers. "Every sector of the economy has opportunities, so the job market is very broad-based."
Actuarial science is a stalwart for the Wisconsin School of Business. Year after year, it's always a top career path, says Melissa Anderson, the school's director of integrated marketing and communications.
A strong newcomer, though, is brand and product management. Career options with those two job titles are proliferating. The potential is so significant that UW-Madison offers a specialized brand and product management MBA.
Anderson says the degree was a natural outgrowth of relationships with frequent corporate recruiters–Kimberly Clark, Proctor and Gamble, and others–who increasingly sought to fill product and brand manager positions.
As corporate needs evolve, Anderson says, so must business schools. "At the end of the day, how we stay current is by staying aware of the changing needs of businesses and incoming students, and then delivering compelling, transformative education," she says.
The Lubar School, Wisconsin School of Business and UW-Parkside are not the only institutions looking directly to employers to glean insight on how to prepare students. Most universities spend a significant amount of time working closely with business leaders in a variety of ways.
It's a key strategy for Herzing University, a privately owned institution that prides itself on an ability to respond quickly to market demands. "One of our main focuses is meeting the workforce needs of our communities," says Herzing University President Renée Herzing.
Herzing University operates online and in 11 different metropolitan areas throughout the country. Three of those – Madison, Kenosha and Brookfield – are in Wisconsin. Each campus president is expected to be active in the community and to interact frequently with local business leaders in order to gauge local hiring needs. Herzing says the university leaders consider the feedback and then determine whether to add or change courses or degree programs to better position students to take advantage of emerging careers.
A case in point: The Madison campus is launching a new program this fall. The Bachelor of Science in software development with a concentration in mobile application development blends the job stability of the information technology (IT) field with the creativity and innovation of mobile applications–more commonly referred to as "apps."
"In general, [IT] is a great field in terms of earning power and upward mobility," Herzing says, "and we're not able to get as many students in as companies want."
Herzing says staying abreast of hiring trends is a continuous process and a core responsibility of the university. Career readiness, she notes, is serious business, and it's not a place for guesswork. So instead of trying to identify what might be popular five years down the road, Herzing University tries to remain nimble enough to get students on track for certain careers as quickly as possible.
"What we really focus on is having the timeline to develop programs really fast," Herzing says. "We never have a crystal ball. … It's hard and really dangerous to be too predictive of what you think the market is going to want. It's more about seeing that a gap is, there and then, very, very quickly developing and launching something to fill that gap."
Of course, not all of the opportunities are in emerging fields. According to ManpowerGroup's 2012 Talent Shortage Survey, engineering positions are the hardest to fill in the Americas and are the second-highest in-demand positions globally. That bodes well for Milwaukee School of Engineering students, says Fred Berry, MSOE vice president of academics.
"If you have the right talent, skills and education, you are going to be highly sought after," Berry says.
That bears out at MSOE, where students enjoy a 95 percent placement rate within six months of graduation. What's more, Berry adds, is that a recent PayScale survey found that MSOE grads had higher starting salaries than graduates of any other Wisconsin university.
Yet just because the broader engineering discipline is well-established doesn't mean that it doesn't evolve. For example, MSOE offers the state's only biomolecular engineering program along with perennially popular degrees in architectural, biomedical, computer, electrical, industrial, mechanical and software engineering.
The thing about a good academic foundation, Berry notes, is that the opportunities don't stop with that first degree. "Many engineering graduates become lawyers, financial analysts, economists and medical doctors," he says.
Health care is another area, like engineering, that offers a blend of traditional and emerging opportunities. Already one of the largest sources of jobs in the United States, health care careers are routinely touted as some of the most promising for the coming decade.
"We have invested a great measure of time and energy in health care," says Bernard Bull, Concordia University Wisconsin in Mequon's assistant vice president of academics for continuing and distance education. "I would expect that would continue to be a strong area of interest, and there is data to suggest that there is great need."
There is also data to suggest that there will be great growth. For example, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the career path adding the most new jobs in the decade between 2010 and 2020 will be registered nursing. The BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook predicts the field will increase by more than 700,000 positions over the course of the decade. With a 2010 median salary of nearly $65,000, registered nursing is not only stable but also a well-compensated–and often flexible–career path.
While certainly one of the most promising, especially considering a well-documented nursing shortage, registered nursing is just one of more than 80 distinct health care careers identified by the American Medical Association. All told, the health care industry accounted for one of every five jobs added–a total of 340,000 – between May 2011 and May 2012, according to the BLS Current Employment Statistics Highlights.
In an effort to meet some of the growing demand, Concordia offers a variety of nursing programs, including a traditional undergraduate degree as well as more specialized and advanced paths of study.
Accessibility is an issue for some students, particularly those who don't live near a campus or those whose schedules do not accommodate a regular course schedule. For example, a registered nurse who works different days every week would not be able to commit to a class that meets every Tuesday, Bull explains, even if the student wanted to get a bachelor's or master's degree.
Online education has emerged as an ideal solution, and Concordia has embraced e-learning for health care programs despite some frequent misconceptions about its viability in certain disciplines. "Graduate nursing is our largest online program," Bull says, pointing out that much of the coursework focuses on leadership development and mastery of both theory and emerging research. That kind of instruction, he adds, is well-suited to the online environment.
"I see absolutely no reason why a person coming back for a degree, a person who is willing to put in the time and effort, should be limited because of location or family circumstance," he says. "If there's a single mom with three kids working to make ends meet who has the dedication … I want to be able to offer a program that can help her meet her goals."
Ultimately, most administrators working in higher education would caution students against choosing careers and schools based on earning power alone. Bull, Anderson, Krejci and others reiterate the age-old advice that all prospective students hear at one time or another: No school or degree is right for everyone, and choosing a program is about finding a good fit in terms of academic offerings, accessibility, cost and other factors.
"You try to look at what is going to make you happy in your career," Krejci says. "I always ask students, 'If you could do anything that you wanted to do, what would that be?' Then you work backwards from there.
"Generally speaking, if a person enjoys what they are doing, they will do a good job. And if they do a good job, the career will take care of itself."

Dollar Hits Six-Month High vs. Yen
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Japanese yen has sunk to a six-month low against the U.S. dollar on speculation that Japan's central bank will take longer than other countries to raise interest rates.
The U.S. dollar was rising 0.4% against the Japanese currency at 85.181 yen. On Wednesday, the U.S. currency hit a six-month high against the Japanese currency at 85.515 yen.
The Bank of Japan is expected to announce that it has maintained its target rate at zero to 0.1% at the end of its two-day meeting on Thursday, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists, as the country tries to get back on its feet again after being struck by a massive earthquake and tsunami on March 11.
The Bank of Japan is thinking of introducing a credit program that would encourage banks to lend to companies facing cash-flow shortages following the earthquake, according to Bloomberg."The selling of Japanese yen continues, folks," said EverBank World Markets President Chuck Butler. "The yen has lost 3.3% in the past month, and I just don't see this being a short-term move." Canada's Department of Finance said it sold $124 million of Japanese yen during the G7 group of industrialized nations' coordinated maneuver to stem the yen's appreciation last month. Marc Ostwald of Monument Securities said the long-term technical supports of the yen are being threatened. The dollar was falling 0.5% against the euro at EUR 0.69936, with the European Central Bank widely expected to raise its key interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.25% at its Thursday meeting; the move would widen the interest rate differentials between the U.S. and Europe. "The euro has been well-supported in recent weeks, despite renewed concerns about the periphery and the notion that a more hawkish monetary policy stance by the ECB will weigh on weaker Eurozone member states," said UBS foreign exchange strategist Manuel Oliveri. PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish (UUP) was falling 0.4% to $21.69 in premarket trading, while CurrencyShares Euro Trust (FXE) was rising 0.5% to $142.44. >>Search for Highest Dividends by Rate or Yield

In the current edition of its new quarterly Meetings Outlook report, Meeting Professionals International asked members how they are managing rapid tech innovation.
Twenty-eight percent said they are "employing people with relevant knowledge and skills" and 53 percent said they educate themselves on new technology to stay current. If you aren't actively in that 53 percent, you better watch out for the new hires of the 28 percent. They might just tweet you out of a job.
Or maybe this is the time for you to help your organization with its approach to social media. When MPI asked respondents "what best describes your social media strategy," only one-quarter reported that they follow a documented social media strategy while 16 percent said they do not have a social media strategy.
It would have been interesting if only those two answers were given as possible responses to the question. But most respondents chose the vague answer "We adapt to new options and techniques" (48 percent) or the even more vague "We rely on informal communications and discovery in the marketplace" (11 percent).
Employment on the Rise
The big change that many meeting professionals have been waiting for may happen in 2014: Hiring is on the rise. One-quarter of Meetings Outlook respondents expect an increase in full-time employment, one-third expect an increase in part-time employment, and 39 percent expect an increase in contract employment at their organizations.
There were other positive notes in the report as well, including that two-thirds of respondents expect meeting attendance to increase in 2014 (and most of the rest say it'll be flat). Also, 72 percent of respondents expect better economic conditions in the coming year against only 8 percent who expect economic conditions to worsen.
In the category of old news, only three percent of respondents are looking at virtual meetings to completely replace face-to-face meetings. And finally, meeting planning lead times continue to vary, with one-quarter reporting longer lead times, 29 percent reporting no change, and 46 percent reporting shorter lead times.
The quarterly Meetings Outlook replaces the bi-monthly Business Barometer previously published by MPI. For each Meetings Outlook report, research firm Association Insights surveys 5,000 MPI members, including 700 senior meeting professionals on MPI's Business Research Panel. The organization did not reveal how many of these survey recipients responded to the current survey.
