What the hell Katt?!!?!?
Katt Williams Arrested For Car Chase In California
Capitol Protection Officers were engaged with in a pursuit of comedian Katt Williams in downtown Sacramento Sunday.
Sacramento Police originally contacted Williams near the Hyatt along L Street. He was asked to leave for disturbing the peace. He did, but was soon spotted by Capitol Protection Officers.
Apparently, Williams was driving a Can Am (a three-wheeled motorcycle) on a sidewalk. From L Street, he turned onto 13th Street then onto the closed-off section of K Street in front of the Esquire IMAX Theatre. Driving through, he was said to have almost hit five pedestrians.
At this point, Capitol Protection Officers were flashing their lights for him to stop. Williams then was said to have taken his helmet off, turned to the officer and said "I'm not going to stop."
Williams then ran several more red lights and was not cited. The Can Am did not have a license plate.
Capital Protection said they will be filing a complaint against Williams for the actions.
Williams has recently been in trouble with the law, having been arrested in Oakland back on Nov. 15 on suspicion of assault. Fans from a botched show in Oakland have sued Williams as well. His show at Power Balance Pavilion on Friday was said to have gone smoot
Katt Williams has really fallen the fawk off. Cocaine or whatever he's on is a helluva drug.

text: Delivery is a godsend for those nights when cooking is not an option — and it's a great excuse to order your favorite greasy pizza or Chinese food in those iconic cardboard containers. But Caviar, a San Francisco-based company, looks to be a game changer. Their tagline is "get delivery from your favorite restaurants." And by favorite restaurants, they mean the likes of Sotto, Jar, the Church Key, Border Grill, Paiche, and fundamental LA — the kind of restaurants you'd normally dress up to go to. Now that Caviar has launched in LA (other locations include San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and Boston), you can enjoy food from restaurants that don't normally deliver, without leaving your sofa. Will this trend catch on? The $9.99 delivery fee (with no minimum order) doesn't seem prohibitive.

First by Van Cleef & Arpels
Oh, this isn't going to sound like a ringing endorsement, but in a way it is...First has always been the "go-to" perfume for me when I can't decide on what perfume I want to wear. If I want to wear a really nice scent that smells good on me no matter the weather, or my mood, and if you want something that is elegant with a reserved drydown, and not one of those overblown everything-but-the-kitchen-sink florals, this is it.

Eau de Givenchy by Givenchy
Where I grew up, we had lily-of-the-valley flowers bloom every spring. This reminds me of their crisp green stems, the delicate white flowers, and the cool damp earth that they like to grow in. A scent for spring or summer, especially hot weather, as it isn't a heavy or cloying floral. I have the EDT, and wish it would last longer.

Fleur de Thé Rose Bulgare by Creed
Was I beset with doubt when I ponied up the cash for my HUGE bottle of FDTRB? Oh yes I was! Do I love love love this, the purest distillation of a rose scent ever, one that actually lasts when it's applied? Oh yes I do! Am I transported each time I catch a whiff of this to a stand of summer roses on Cape Cod in the late morning? Indeedy, I am! Do I wonder how Creed has managed to capture the spicy scent of the rose leaves as well as the flower's heart without it being cloying? Errr...about as much as I wonder how I never grow bored with it... Was it money well spent? Every single penny! Seriously, folks? It's a LOT of perfume--if you like it, buy it, decant small quantities of it to use, & carefully store the rest. Or go splitsies with a friend or three-you won't be sorry! (It also layers beautifully with lots of other things.)

Tink, A Glass of Wine, and A Pair of Brooks...if you say it, you have to do it!
In my head I am a marathon runner. In reality I am on the couch. Ok, ok, so I am no longer on the couch, but I am also a long way away from identifying as a long distance runner.
You see, in December 2012 I decided to turn my dream into a reality. My sister really is a marathon runner, and my DW has been telling her she was going to do a couch to the 5k program for a long time now. Well, I got tired of hearing DSis ask, are you off the couch yet? So I decided to take matters in my own hands and began searching for a C25k app for my iPhone. I found one and two weeks before Christmas, I went out for W1D1. And it was fun! So two days later I did W1D2. And it was still fun! By W2D1, DW took notice and announced she was going to come along too (mission accomplished). She didn't think it was as much fun, but I put a safety net into my plan and signed us both up for a few 5ks in April. I figured that would be enough time to train and account for lapses in the program. She thinks I'm crazy .
Ok, so as I am fully immersed in my new passion, I get it in my head that when we go to WDW this summer, I am going to keep up with my running and I began to actually become excited to run at the BC and Poly (we are doing a split stay). Next I began to search running at WDW. Now I have always known there was a WDW Marathon, as that is pretty much common knowledge. What I didn't know, however, was that there was this whole RunDisney world out there!! Imagine my absolute joy when I realized I could not only run during my vacation at WDW, but I could actually plan a trip around a race!
I first learned of the Princess 1/2. Ok, I've never been a princess kind of girl, but it's a half and it's at Disney, so I can suck it up. But then I heard about the F&W 1/2, and THAT is right up my alley! WS at Epcot is my absolute favorite place and for years I have tried to justify a F&W festival trip. Being that we always go in August and the kids are back in school, I have never been able to make it. But if there is a race involved....well, who could argue with doing something for your health and well-being??
Then I learned that there is a TINK 1/2!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Tink. She is my absolute all time favorite. Forget princesses, I was going to run the Tink 1/2. Oh, wait, the Tink 1/2 is in DL. Well, I have never been to DL, and it's Tink. And there's this thing called the C2C. And if I am setting my sights about as high as they can go right now, why not go for broke and do it all!
So while I thought I might be able to push it and run the F&W 1/2 in 2013, I think it might make more sense in terms of training (both in body and wallet) to do both of these in 2014. I sat with this perfect plan in my head, waiting for the right moment to drop the bomb on my DW (who will be dragged along) and my three DS (who most likely won't be coming - another first) and that happened just the other day. And you know what, they were excited for me!!!
So here I am. This is my second PTR. although my first one isn't even finished yet, but I will have so much to plan in this one, including: my training progress
learning everything I need to know about DL, and planning two trips over the span of the year.
I am currently on W8D3 of the program and am transitioning into longer distances/times using Jeff Galloway's walk run method.
Wish me luck!

Thank you!!
Well, today I hit my first milestone - I have been doing the C25K and finished up week 8 today, and broke the 3 mile distance for the first time! I had been hovering around 2.8-2.9 for the past few runs, and today got over that 3 mile mark! I was very happy since there was a lot of ice on the streets and sidewalks from the storm the other day and I felt I was not going to put in great results, so I was very happy after.
The dates have been announced for the Tinker Bell 1/2. I have 340 days to go!I need to start paying attention to some DL tips as I have never planned a trip out there.
And in other great news, DW has said she is going to train and try to run these two races with me!! I knew she would be supportive and come along, but I am so excited that we can do this together!

I haven't posted much because I have a little set-back in my training. I had to go for a toenail bed biopsy on Tuesday and I'm recovering more slowly than I thought I would. I was hoping to be back out running by today (not really sure what I was thinking!), but I'm still stuck not being able to get more than a slipper on my foot. .
I did use my downtime to research my next app. I love apps - I am probably going to have twenty running apps by the time I get to this race I am going to go with the Jeff Galloway easy 10k and see how I like that. I also signed up to do the Nike's women's virtial 10k in March. At the rate I am going I may end up walking half of it, but that's ok - I'll get it done!
Thanks for following along! I should really use this time to research DL as I have never been!

Welcome to the website of Ken Hughes, author of the paranormal thriller Shadowed and the upcoming contemporary fantasy The High Road.
If you're looking for more Unified Writing Field Theory posts, here's a treat for all of us: I have one on the ever-insightful Janice Hardy's blog Fiction University. It's my approach for picking and maximizing the quieter moments in a story, called Your Scene Needs a Problem.
Meanwhile, right here we have:
The Two Laws of Backstory, and why Superman breaks both (The Unified Writing Field Theory)
It's one of the hardest moments in writing—knowing that even though you've picked a perfect character or an ideal plot complication, you have to write in so much more to justify it. But with so many kinds of backstory you could explain it with, how do you pick the one that fits? Or make it do more than fit, so it opens up new depth and possibilities to the story?
It's not as hard as it seems.
Understanding backstory really comes down to two things, and they're so simple that I thought I'd demonstrate them using a few of my favorite comic book heroes, just to show how big a curve we can grade "realistic" on.
We could call those two rules looking forward and looking further back from the time of the backstory idea you're trying out… or we could simply say "does it do enough, and does it do too much?" But I think I'll call them "the seed" and "the worms."
The Seed: does it grow what you need?
You've got such a simple question to start with: what do you need this history to do? Then, find an idea that seems, logically or at least intuitively, like it relates to that.
Call Superman's origin a classic example of how not to cover things. Since these are comics, I don't mean how hard it is to justify the raw amount of power he has. The goal is still to explain physical strength.
No, if you want personal power, a better backstory would be someone trying to give himself personal power, like the experiments used for Captain America or the modern Hulk. (Come to think of it, the original Superman simply came from an "advanced" people, and he only lifted cars.) Wonder Woman or Thor make even more sense; we have thousands of years of storytelling saying the universe just makes gods that much stronger. The Flash does the same thing, tapping into a cosmic power source. Aliens, not so much.
Still, we all know "alien powers" can play better when they're like Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy: focus on how different their tree- or flying- or whatever evolution is from human. (That and, give the creature whatever offworld training or enhancements you want to raise that to a real asset.)
But it depends on your story goal. Say, instead of needing raw personal power, your character can have a weapon or device that does the job. Now your choices might be anyone who builds those, meaning anyone with a brain and the drive to create. Hawkman doesn't claim "alien=superpowered," he simply uses his planet's gear; Green Lantern puts a human in the center by giving him the aliens' weapon. And so many human heroes (and villains) invented their own arsenal.
And of course we've got Batman, whose "powers" are so limited that determined training and the Wayne fortune really are all he needs. (Plus, Batman Begins takes it even further to show that he doesn't dream up his gadgets as much as discover and adapt tech that's already out there. Then Dark Knight reminds us just how far he can adapt it if he's desperate enough.)
–We've looked through types of power here, as examples of how to make a story's facts able to do what you want. Let's start shifting toward how to make characters want to do what the story needs.
Aliens do work best in Guardians of the Galaxy's main tale of simply treating them as people; just people with more different beliefs and homelands, plus better-than-Earth laser guns. They can be especially fun for an invasion, "abduction," or exploration story that wants to contrast human motives and interests with a people that seems different—whether they turn out to be as powerful as H.G. Wells's Martians or as vulnerable as E.T.
For Superman's motives, though, his story works. To build a driven but optimistic hero, some salt-of-the-Earth role models like the Kents might be just the thing, while having his original home blown up at least gives Clark an extra reason to protect his new one.
But it isn't always the scale of tragedy that makes it mythic; Batman's drive goes much more into the "orphan" theme than Superman's. It's so spot-on it would be cliché if it didn't have enough details to be specific:
Spider-Man has a tragedy that hits closer yet: instead of being helpless to save his family, he considers Uncle Ben's death his own fault for not getting involved earlier. No punches pulled there. And the core of the Hulk isn't fighting evil at large; he only wants to get through a day without being hunted for what he might do, and stop his enemies from exploiting his power. (I've called those the only two core options for creating character conflict.)
For real precision writing, though, take a look at the cinematic Iron Man. The first movie makes a decent case that Tony Stark didn't invent a hundred comic-book technologies, he invented one, the game-changing power source that let him pump every other weapon up to a whole new level—at least when you're smart enough and rich enough to build the rest to take advantage of it. He gets a precise motivation too: creating a one-man army calls for vastly more money and effort (and personal risk!) than equipping an actual army, which is what power brokers usually do… unless you've already done that and just had your nose rubbed in how you might lose control of any weapon you let out of your own hands. Face it, if you'd escaped that cave (yes, "with a box of scraps") and you were as proud and gifted as Tony, what else could you have done?
Speaking of "what else," there's the other side of backstories.
The Can of Worms: what ELSE would it mean?
Even if you think you've got a backstory that does the job, you're just getting started. And the other step might be even more work, but it's also the one that can unlock whole new dimensions for a story: ask what other ripples the idea could create.
Superman's alien origin not only isn't enough for his powers, it's definitely too much to let the rest of his adventures happen the way the comic wants. A whole other planet, of god-strong beings, just blown away before the story even starts—what a WASTE of story material! Bringing out just the occasional General Zod, or a Lex Luthor grumbling about alien influences, doesn't come close to what an origin like that ought to root the rest of the storyline in. Even the fact that he looks human… we chuckle at Star Trek's "planets of the pointy-eared folk," but this Strange Visitor blends in so well a human woman both idolizes and ignores him depending on his clothes?
All of these could have been glorious opportunities for a darker or more thoughtful superhero (a bit of X-Men, a bit of Contact), but they all come down to the same way that they don't work: they aren't the story the writers wanted to tell.
Consider this: how often does a modern-day writer even use the word "alien" with a straight face? Sure, aliens work just fine in a story that's set up to do it justice—invasions, Roswell and so on. But otherwise, we tend to save the word for the silliest of all silly ideas a character might spit out at random, and I'd say it's just because the implications are too huge to take halfway. If we aren't ready to handle a story idea's implications, "out in left field" just means "the idea got lost."
Of course, standard comic books and their heroes are an odd place to look for backstory concepts. Ideas there rush by so fast you can find hundreds of promising thoughts, but how many other cans of worms do they take a pass on? It may be the number of implications, more than the powers themselves, that make superheroes so different from the harder SF and fantasy they borrow from.
Still, I can see a few more careful examples we can learn from:
One alternate version of Superman has already hinted at what might be the perfect origin for him, in the Red Son comic: Make him a literal "Man of Tomorrow" by making Krypton the doomed future of Earth. It would have been so much more elegant, with less baggage from a missing planet and making him not such a total misfit around here… and amping up the pressure on the hero. Instead of knowing that a planet could destroy itself, he has to protect and inspire this world to change what might be its destiny.
(Wait, wouldn't that mean that every planetary threat until then is guaranteed to fizzle out? We could crib from Star Trek and say Superman's own passage through time attracted the "attention" of certain history-changing forces. So if Darkseid invades Earth it would be Superman's fault for coming here first… Over to you, DC.)
Or, The Avengers movie gets more careful use out of its aliens. The Chitauri do bring a proper invasion, but only at the film's end, so we don't have time to ask the larger questions of why they're after Earth or what makes them tick—instead we focus on Loki and their other allies. Once the battle begins, we don't have to deal with too many questions either: since they invade through a dimensional gate (set up by our visible foe and a MacGuffin power source), they can only send so large a fleet, and no more once the door's shut. This skips the classic Alien Invasion problems of "That was all a planet could send? And now, how long till the next wave, and the next twenty?" Instead the gate's closed, done—for now.
(It doesn't hurt that Joss Whedon has written his share of stories about demons. For many writers, the word itself is a perfect shorthand for "hordes that can only fully invade through their particular Hellmouth.")
Batman does make a lot of this look easy (he does that for everything), with his down-to-earth heroics making fewer ripples. But even for him, The Dark Knight was one of many stories to look into just what a vigilante might mean for the Gotham public. (And, even with the Christian Bale Batman borrowing more tech than he built, it did have its fun with who might notice where those toys had been borrowed from. "And your plan is to blackmail this person? Good luck with that.")
Look at how hard both film versions of Spider-Man worked to keep Peter Parker from being a web-inventing super-genius; the first had webbing as just another of his organic powers, the second stole it from the Sinister Lab that's wound up with all the schemes. Meanwhile Iron Man 2 looked into how Tony didn't create his Arc Reactor completely from a standing Stark (sorry), and who else might have been involved in it and have his own agenda.
For more about watching an idea's implications, see Brandon Sanderson's Third Law of Magic: "Expand what you already have before you add something new." The master makes a fine point: doing justice to what you have is usually better than the work and the problems of adding whole new wrinkles on top of it. Best of all, keeping closer to home leads to a final picture that's more complete and yet more elegant than just adding more.
One last tip: if you want a true master class in smart world-building, watch Stargate SG-1. Most of its off-worlders really are human (all explained), their alien masters use human bodies too, and the blaster staffs actually have a reason they're inferior to machine guns. YES!

Twelve adults and 12 children fled their 2 1/2 story duplex in north Minneapolis after a fire broke out shortly after midnight on Tuesday.
The Red Cross had been called in to help the 24 residents at the duplex on the 1600 block of Hillside Avenue North, said Minneapolis Assistant Chief Cherie Penn.
The fire began in the basement and spread to the first, second and third floor of the building, she said. There were no injuries to the residents, but one firefighter sustained a knee injury and was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center where she was treated and released, Penn said.
The first alarm fire, reported at 12:21 a.m., brought out six fire apparatus and 20 to 25 firefighters, she said. The cause of the fire is under investigation, Penn said.
Lynnette Nyman, a spokesperson for the American Red Cross in Minneapolis, said the 24 displaced people were related to each other. She said her organization was putting them up in a local motel and providing them with food and clothing.

New supermarket is at 990 Iyannough Road in Hyannis.
Whole Foods Market's newest location is at 990 Iyannough Road in Hyannis, and it will open with the company's traditional bread-breaking ceremony on Wednesday, May 14 at 10:00am.
The Cape's newest supermarket will be located at the former Borders bookstore property in Southwind Plaza on Route 132, and it already has over 1,000 followers on its Facebook.
The 28,000 square foot store, Whole Foods Market's first Cape Cod location, will employ approximately 175 local people full and part time.
A press release from the company says it promises to offer customers outstanding value on the highest quality natural and organic groceries available.
The company has a reputation for buying locally grown produce. They hosted a local supplier summit on March 20 at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod, 307 Old Old Main Street in South Yarmouth.
The new Whole Foods store will be the second new chain store to open on Route 132, joining Kohl's which opened up the hill from the Whole Foods location in September 2013.
The store will also feature walk-up food service windows and exciting elements like a waffle bar, a juice and smoothie bar and a great selection of locally sourced products. Whole Foods Market Hyannis' store hours will be 8am – 10 pm, 7 days a week.
Opening day bread breaking ceremony
The public is welcome to take part in Whole Foods Market history, by attending the bread breaking ceremony at 9:45am, after which, the store will officially open for business. The celebration will continue throughout the day with special activities for all ages.

Plane Crash in Austin Investigated as a Crime
POSTED: Thursday, February 18, 2010 - 11:55am
UPDATED: Friday, February 19, 2010 - 7:12am
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Police in Austin, Texas, say the crash of a
small plane into a building that houses the Internal Revenue
Service is an isolated incident and "there is no cause for
concern" about terrorism.
U.S. law enforcement officials say they are investigating
whether the crash was an intentional act by the pilot that was
aimed at the IRS. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the
investigation is continuing.
Austin fire officials says one person who was scheduled to be at
work Thursday is still unaccounted for, and two people were taken
to a hospital. Their conditions and identities were not known.
FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford says the pilot didn't file a flight
plan. He didn't identify the pilot, and police say they had no
information about the pilot.

What is melatonin?
Melatonin is a hormone that occurs naturally in the body and due to this reason, generally has no or mild side effects. Melatonin is involved in the body's biological clock, which affects your sleep cycle and your body's production of other hormones. Studies show that dietary supplements containing melatonin may help with jet lag and sleep disorders. There are also claims that melatonin supplements slow the aging process, protect the body from toxins, boost the immune system, and prevent cancer; but there is little scientific basis for these claims.
Potential for melatonin side effects
In general, melatonin is well
tolerated and has very few side effects. People taking melatonin supplements have reported side
effects that include headache, daytime sleepiness, drowsiness, dizziness, stomach cramps, and
irritability. If you suffer from depression, taking melatonin supplements may make your
depressive symptoms worse. Melatonin can also worsen blood pressure control. Because
melatonin's safety hasn't been adequately studied, you should avoid it if you're pregnant or if
you have diabetes, kidney or liver disease, epilepsy, or any autoimmune diseases.
Shop for melatonin products available on Walgreens.com.
If you're looking for more specific answers to specific questions, ask a Walgreens pharmacist here.

Discovery Kids Latin America is a cable television channel owned by Discovery Communications and headquartered in Miami, Florida, which started as a programming block on the Latin American version of Discovery Channel. It is the only Discovery channel to feature spokescharacters.
Since the original U.S. version's rebranding to "The Hub" (and later Hub Network and Discovery Family) on October 10, 2010, this was the only Discovery Kids channel in the world, until March 4, 2012, when an Asian version was launched.
The channel is divided on four feeds: Mexico, Argentina, the rest of Latin America, and a Portuguese feed for Brazil.
The channel started broadcasting on November 1, 1996. Originally its programming was aimed at older children and teens, airing shows such as Ghostwriter, Popular Mechanics for Kids, and Cyberkids.
In 2002, when Discovery Kids in United States was being launched as a programming block on NBC, the Latin American channel changed its programming to focus mainly on the pre-school audience. Programming for young children aired round-the-clock on weekdays, while series for teens aired only on weekends. This was due to low ratings on the non-preschool programming and hard competition with rival networks Cartoon Network (Latin America), Nickelodeon (Latin America) and Fox Kids Latin America (now known as Disney XD (Latin America)).
On January 13, 2003, the channel changed its programming to target mainly pre-schoolers and dropping all teen series completely, airing programs for young children round-the-clock seven days a week. On March 8, 2005, the channel introduced Doki, a dog who would become the official mascot of the channel. In 2008, Doki was accompanied by Mundi, a female anthropomorphic ladybug who serves as his best friend; the channel had previously introduced characters who are Doki's friends, including Gabi, Oto, Fico, and Anabella.
On March 30, 2009, the channel radically changed its logo, and adopted new programming, bumpers and schedules.[1]
Another image renovation was adopted on April 15, 2013 with the new series Doki: The Series with new bumpers and schedule changes.
In the U.S., it is available as a block on Discovery Familia, known as Discovery Kids en Español.

FA Cup archive: Wimbledon in sunny Spainby Harry Hesp
In 1987, Wimbledon manager Dave Bassett took his infamous Crazy Gang – led by John Fashanu – to sunny Torremolinos for a spot of R&R, a reward for beating Everton 3-1 in the FA Cup Fifth Round (the club had never made the last eight before).
Wimbledon lost 2-0 to Spurs in the next round, but one year later they went all the way (with Bassett replaced by new gaffer Bobby Gould), beating mighty Liverpool 1-0 in one of the most memorable Cup Finals in history.
- Watch the FA Cup Second Round tie between MK Dons and AFC Wimbledon live on ITV from 12:05pm on Sunday 2nd December.

Misc. Comments
Note: Transcription, I think by Bargiel, of the slow movement of the composer's piano sonata - not an independent work. (This could be given the subtitle "Andante con moto from the Piano Sonata op.34, for orchestra" but is not.)
There is a radio broadcast recording but nothing commercially available as of October 2010.
For additional information, see Cáceres, Das Echte und Innerliche in der Kunst: Der Komponist, Dirigent und Padagoge Woldemar Bargiel(1828-1897): Ein Beitrag Zur Musikgeschichte des unbekannten 19. Jahrhunderts, page 152. Date of composition, publication from Cáceres' worklist PDF.

I would agree that you have to stop reacting to her pouting.
Hi Pam,
Primal scream away...that's what we're here for.
Just a thought, but does she get any physical attention?
I find it so sad seeing how many of you "can't stand" even speaking to your mothers on the phone.

lists of school that offers msn in metro manila - page 2

- 0Apr 30, '09 by optimistic,RNTaimanov.. thanks for the reply... By the way I just want to ask if UERMMC is very particular with the Board of rating? does it mean Report of Rating is the same with TOR? sorry.. but I don't have any idea with the policies of Graduate School of UERMMC.. and I'm planning to take the MSM Program with thesis..
How many recommendation letters do I really need to prepare for my application? I'm just a fresh graduate and without hospital experience.. Please help me my fellow nurses.. Still clueless about the procedure.. Thanks you very much in advance..
- 0May 1, '09 by optimistic,RNThanks for the reply taiminov!!!!
- 0May 2, '09 by jbauer87It's quite unfortunate that instead of polishing skills first, most new nursing graduates prefer to take the NCLEX or in this case, post-graduate studies even without the benefit of any actual hospital experience. Nurses with master's degree but mediocre skills is becoming common nowadays as more and more unemployed nurses are more focused with adding suffixes to their name and boasting to everyone that they're now a USRN even though they're still bumming around.
Can't really blame them though since it's quite quite hard to get employed unless you know someone on the inside. That's why a significant portion of those taking Masters are usually unemployed or have no nursing experience. Shame.
- 0May 13, '09 by nurseharbeeTaimanov: Hows your enrolment at UE?im planning to enrol in UE also, i still have to let them evaluate my subjects earned in my previous school.

- 0Jun 27, '12 by NursingMSN101I have a GWA of 2.25 or 82, and im interested to enroll in UERM are they strict with regards to TOR? and i am currently working in an hospital but im still just 1 month employed would they consider me? their next semster is on september so by that time im 4 months employed already. pls reply

THE PARKING GARAGE OF THE FUTURE, NOW IN SANTA MONICAFebruary 10, 2014 on 8:32 am | In Fascinating Information | 1 Comment
Don't you just hate driving around downtown Santa Monica looking for parking? A new automated garage, the kind of the future, is now being tried in Santa Monica. The "West Coast's first automated parking garage" is moving cars around the UCLA Santa Monica Outpatient Surgery Center. Drivers can leave their cars at six bays, where a movable platform takes the car to a crane. The 8,000-pound crane then lowers the car onto one of six levels. Employees swipe their driver's license or a badge to retrieve their cars, while the public will use a credit or debit card (the garage will open to the public when all the kinks are worked out). Usually the cars can be retrieved in two minutes and people seem happy with the system. "It breaks down sometimes, but when it's working it's really great," according to one nurse.
One of the best aspects of the robot garages, other than never losing your vehicle or dealing with break-ins, is they hold more cars than a typical garage and can be built smaller. West Hollywood and Chinatown both have automated parking garages in the works.

According to Redfin research, bidding wars across Redfin's 22 markets increased in January for the first time since the peak of the 2013 home-buying frenzy in March 2013. Agents faced competition in 58.1% of offers they wrote in January, up from 52.8% in December, but a far cry from the 70.4% recorded last year. January often brings a resurgence of bidding wars, after the holiday lull and as new home buyers enter the market in the new year.

Help wanted: MCA Denver, our city's bastion of contemporary cool, is seeking someone who understands high-concept art, someone who is responsible and punctual, someone who is, uh, good with animals and doesn't mind bird poop. Sound interesting? Here's the job ad that an Off Limits operative recently discovered:
"We are working with artist Jon Rubin on an installation called The Pigeon Project. We just finished lifting a pigeon coop onto the roof, where we will be rearing our own loft of racing pigeons. These pigeons will be trained to hone to MCA Denver, so that eventually guests, volunteers and staff can check one out and send it on its way back to the museum from distances up to 500 miles away! We are looking for 1-2 people to work 3 hours per day as the official liaison and maintenance person for this project.
1485 Delgany St.
Denver, CO 80202
Category: Museums
Region: Downtown Denver
- 15 minutes of pigeon coop cleaning per day
- Handling the birds in order to socialize them
- Talking to visitors about the project
- Checking out pigeons to visitors
- Work with artist Jon Rubin and the Foothills Pigeon Racing Club to learn about racing pigeons and the handling and rearing processes involved in this project.
- Must love birds and people
- Willingness and interest to learn about racing pigeons and this exciting project
- Able to commit to a regular 3 hour shift between 2 + 6 pm
- $10 per hour"
Here's the deal: The project is a cooperative effort between MCA Denver, the Foothills Pigeon Racing Club and Rubin, a Pittsburgh-based conceptual artist who explores the relationship between people and institutions. In Denmark last summer, he hired two actors who look like that country's Queen and Prince Consort to parade around the streets holding up protest signs with complaints written by ordinary Danish citizens; the point was to show how much power the royal family could have over everyday problems.
At MCA Denver, the goal will be to "extend the space of the museum, to switch the roles of the people who are the caretakers of objects and the visitors," says MCA programming director Sarah Baie. In this case, the art objects will be the pigeons, which will be trained to return to the museum every time they are released. Beginning in July, any museum guest will be able to check out a pigeon, take it home in a carrier and then release it.
Of course, the birds may not always come back. "We'll have twenty to start with, but we will lose some to the ways that you lose pigeons," Baie says. "Some won't find their way back. Some will join feral pigeon colonies. Others may be eaten by predators or accessioned by the Louvre." (They are art objects, after all!)
And what happens when the Pigeon Project ends in December?
Baie doesn't know yet, and neither do the members of the Foothills pigeon club, who are advising the MCA on the project. "I don't see an end to it. They [the museum] will have to keep them for some time," says Wayne Rozendaal, a pigeoneer for 35 years and the club's secretary. The problem is that once a bird is trained to hone to one place, "the only other option is use the birds as breeding stock," he explains. "These birds are domesticated. We feed them every day and take good care of them."
Above all, you can't release them into the wild. "Racing pigeons are not feral pigeons," he notes. "We don't want our birds mixed up with those."
Which means that the MCA — and its latest conceptual art project — may have pigeons coming home to roost for a long, long time.
