- 0Mar 16, '13 by leighanna.hutchinsonYou do not have to have your license until the start date of the program. So you can go ahead and apply for the GN program. I believe they are going to make some offers to applicants who have already been through the interview process and then if there are still spots they will start interviewing more people
- 0Apr 11, '13 by leighanna.hutchinsonGot the call yesterday and was offered the Pedi position!! Can't wait to start!
- 1Apr 11, '13 by iram13Congratulations leighanna.hutchinson! I got an email saying I would get a call soon about a offer, so I'm waiting patiently
- 0Apr 12, '13 by blueorchid981Congrats! To those who had interviews/offers.... When do you start? Do you mind sharing your GPA and preceptorship experience??
- 0Apr 12, '13 by leighanna.hutchinson@Belle2013 : Yes I'm in the summer program! And they are starting to call all the applicants and make the offers! Good luck!
@blueorchid981: The start dates vary in each department. My tentative start date contingent upon passing NCLEX is June 10th. They never asked for my GPA. I did most of my clinicals at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas and my pedi rotation at Children's Medical Center in Dallas.
Good luck everyone! Hope to meet y'all this summer!

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Multiserver clarifications
i've just installed a pair of ISPConfig 3.02 servers, both following "The Perfect Server" instructions, but the second one with the expert setup, to create it as slave of the first one. The installation finished without errors. I noticed that in the mysql user table of the master server, there is a new user "ispcsrv3", i guess that is used to the replication, and i guess it does have no more than the required permissions (i was afraid that root user was used when required in installation, so nice surprise).
From here, i didnt find any specific documentation to this multiserver setup, only diversificated posts in this forum, do i decided to start some tests to check the behaviour, but i have some questions, so maybe someone can gently enlight me.
I understand that the replication process is one direction only, that way i see that clients and templates created on master, are seen also in slave, but not in the other direction. This is working for me. I can also choose the server when adding a new service (like mail or web).
Checking the mydns behaviour in both servers, i see that templates created in master, are accessible from slave, but not in the other direction. I guess that is the expected behaviour. But when i create a zone in the master, it doesnt appear in the slave server, obviously in the other direction neither work. If i create the zones in both servers, updating a registry in the master doesnt update it in the slave. Maybe i am missing some step ? There is some way to debug it ?
other questions ,
if master server is down, the slave can still work and serve their associated resources (with the replicated info in their db) ?
If i make changes in a service from slave control panel, in a service created from master, the db,s will be desynced ? There is any chance that the replication process delete information created directly from slave control panel ? is then the expected action to always work from master control panel ?
Is the replication transaction ssl secured ?
Is there any list of prefix/templates variables anywhere ? there are variables for "Allow zone transfers","Also notify","Update ACL" in dns template ?
Thanks all.
In a ispconfig multiserver setup, only the master server has a interface. This is a must, if you would try to login to the interface on a slave and edit or add something there, it will break the replication.
FIrst all, thanks for your quick response.
When you say that slaves never have control panel, you mean that is not installed (php files etc.) and accordingly not accessible ?
If so, i've done something wrong, because i'm able to log in slave's control panel (i've done an expert installation, don't remember if asked for a control panel option).
From here, and to reach a correct installation status, what can be done ? I can delete the slave database. Maybe the files in some dir ? i would like to start from scrath again (without install all base packages again).
Did I understand for me if I make a DNS change on the master, the slave servers which I only use for NS are no going to be replicated?
Till im not trying to hijack this mans post. I am going to do fresh VM and new ispconfig servers and wanted to make sure that I wasn't just beating up the wrong tree.
The master will not be slelected to serve NS records just to be add from the main CP as only have one ssl and thats for the master.
Me hijacking this post has helped me more than you know!!! My project has 2 years before we go live so maybe with your help and this awesome software we can make it possible. I will not forget you friend and when I move to my colocation I will offer any service that you might require as a donation back to this project. I am buying up HP DL380's for my server enviroment so power and storage will be at the finger tips.

text: It's thin, flimsy, and cheap -- and yet, for fans of boy mage Harry Potter, this limited-edition companion book, benefitting Comic Relief U.K., is indispensable. Penned by Rowling under a silly pseudonym, Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them purports to be a doodle-marred text from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. With its richly detailed history lessons and witty debate parsing the differences between ''being'' and ''beast,'' plus a compendium of 85 magical creatures that's chockablock with Rowling's trademark wordplay (''Glumbumble'' is a standout), ''Beasts'' adds a vital new dimension to the Potter mythology. What could have been a castoff pulses with Rowling's care for her creation.

WOW! Economics 2015 | Quantitative Methods (New Spec)
Unequal Opportunities for UK Actors
Julie Walters is the latest actor to claim that opportunities for young actors in the UK are unequal in today's Daily Mirror. There seems to have been a slew of similar claims in recent months from the likes of Ian Mckellen, Judie Dench, Stephen Morrisey and Stephen McGann.
How would economists illustrate this issue?
If you are an A2 Economics student (and depending on which awarding body you sit), you may well have covered Marginal Revenue Product, drawn the 'walking stick' MRP curve and applied such a theory to inequality of opportunity for females or people from a minority ethnic background in the UK. Could the same be applied to acting?read more...»
How well does my job pay?
The ONS published the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings today, which contains some very useful data. For the first time, they have produced an interactive tool to help explore some of the new figures. It graphically illustrates the occupations with the highest and lowest earnings, allows the user to see which occupations have similar salaries, and incorporates a couple of quick quizzes comparing. It would look good on a whiteboard as an introduction to Labour Markets and some of the issues around gender pay gaps, different pay rates for different occupations and elasticity of supply of labour.read more...»
Falling labour participation in the US: causes and effects
The current recovery has been different in the United States. Though unemployment has fallen from 10% to 6.1%, labour-force participation has not increased. In fact, it has declined to its lowest level since 1978. This is controversial. Some economists say long-term structural factors, mainly aging, explain most of the recent drop in the labour force. Others argue that short-term, cyclical factors are mostly to blame: workers are sitting out the job hunt, waiting for better opportunities.
What about the effects?read more...»
Free nursery places for 3 year olds appears to have no impact - an example of Government Failure?
Reports out over the last couple of days suggest that government spending on free nursery places for 3 year olds since 1998 has not produced any valuable educational or economic outcome. The policy was introduced as part of a series of reforms introduced by Tony Blair when he came to power in 1997. The Blair Government saw it as a method of reducing the differentials between educational attainment of poorer and wealthier sections of society and promoting a speedier return to work for some mothers.
Researchers studying the impact of the policy during the 2002 to 2007 time period, where spending on the policy amounted to more than £7bn found that the education received at age 3 had some impact on attainment at age 5 but any improvements were lost by age 11. The research suggested that the policy had only a minor impact on enabling more women to return to work earlier. Also, there is evidence that 5 out of 6 users of the free place would have gone to a paid-for equivalent at age 3 anyway.
So, does this offer us a good example of government failure in economic and social policy?read more...»
Could a "Citizen's Income" address tax and welfare problems?
Here are a couple of current UK problems. Firstly, although the economy is recovering strongly, tax receipts aren't.

Welfare benefits and job search - evidence from Norway
Unemployment benefits can address the failures of credit markets by enabling unemployed people to spend more time searching for a new job – even in countries like Norway, which have an equitable wealth distribution and a generous welfare state.

Labour Market: Food Industry Workers Protest Again Zero Hours and Low Pay
This Channel 4 news report looks at va growing protest movement among food industry workers campaigning against zero hours contracts and persistent low pay. Zero-hours contracts do not guarantee a minimum number of hours of employment. It has been estimated that 583,000 people, around 2% of the UK workforce, were employed on zero-hours contracts between October and December 2013. The actual figure is likely to be substantially higher than that.read more...»
UK Economy: The Economics of Falling Real Wages
The prospects of significant wage increases for typical UK workers are bleak, according to Professors David Blanchflower and Stephen Machin writing in the Spring 2014 issue of CentrePiece magazine from the London School of Economics.
It is quite clear that the economy is still well below full employment and there is a large amount of slack in the labour market, they say. There is little evidence of widespread skill shortages, which would push up wages; and public sector pay freezes with continuing redundancies continue to push down on workers' bargaining power.read more...»

Geographical mobility of labour in the UK
One type of market failure that contributes to inequality and unemployment is the geographical immobility of labour.
If the labour market really 'cleared' effectively, wages would equalise across the economy. Workers would drift away from regions with low wages and/or high unemployment towards areas where wages were higher and labour was scarce.
Instead, we see wide disparities in earnings and pockets of regional unemployment - at the same time as skills shortages and wage inflation elsewhere.
Why are people finding it hard to move across the UK in search of work?read more...»

UK Economy: Mind the Gap - Skills Shortages
Are skills shortages holding back the economic recovery? The Financial Times is running a video series looking at the problems businesses are having in recruiting people with technical skills. The apprenticeship programme is expanding but will it be enough to meet the growing gap between demand for and supply of engineers and other specialist jobs in industries surrounding precision engineering, nuclear power and many others?
According to an article in the Financial Times:
"Migrants are filling a fifth of jobs in industries such as oil and gas extraction, aerospace manufacturing and computer, electronic and optical engineering because of a lack of skilled British graduates."read more...»
A minimum wage in Germany - but the low-skilled jobs are in the UK

Hope this might prove a useful classroom resource!
Capping Bonuses for Bankers - Unintended Consequences
Capping seems to be all the rage at the moment. We read of capping electricity and gas prices, capping welfare payments for families ... and now a proposed cap on bonuses for bankers is being put forward by the EU and by the Labour Party.
In this article, Tim Harford cuts to the chase and highlights the contradictions in the EU blanket policy on capping bankers' bonuses. It is a good example of a policy where the unintended consequences include the probably that banking salaries would rise still further.
Under the EU proposal, a cap on rewards would limit payouts to banking executives to annual pay - or twice that only if shareholders approve.

Income and wealth inequality in Switzerland
The GINI coefficient for Switzerland is already low, at 29.6 (compared to the UK's 34, US's 45 and an EU average 30.4). Current data indicates the relative strength of the economy - real GDP growth at 1.9% in quarter 3 of 2013 (compared with a year earlier), 3.2% unemployment, real incomes rising, a current account surplus, high levels of both inward and outward FDI and a small government budget surplus. But things can always be improved, and the Swiss approach to 'direct democracy', which allows citizens to call for a referendum on anything they want, if they can gather 100,000 signatures calling for a vote, is currently resulting in a series of proposals to promote equality and social welfare.read more...»
Zero-hours contracts - vital for flexibility or exploitative?
The contrasting reactions to Vince Cable's announcement that the Government is launching a consultation on zero hours contracts but will not ban them because they offer "welcome flexibility" for some workers, offer some good opportunity for stakeholder analysis. The report linked here summarises the government's analysis of the advantages and disadvantages, emphasising the benefits of flexibility for both employers and workers, but also the need to ensure fairness and transparency in the labour market. Here you have the differing viewpoints of employers, from the Institute of Directors andread more...»
Wow Economics! Update the 'Average Wage Game' and 'Values of Occupations' game
Calling all previous delegates of our Wow Economics CPD events! If you attended Wow Economics last academic year (2012-2013) you may recall an activity called 'The Average Wage Game'. If you have attended this academic year I'm sure you will remember the activity 'The Value of Occupations'. Both resources were aimed at introducing or stimulating initial discussion about wage determination before moving on to developing the theory behind Marginal Revenue Product and its value.
Both activities relied upon data relating to UK wage rates by occupation. This data was based upon information taken from what was the latest ONS report on wages in the UK (November 2012). I said, at the time, that when the data was updated I would forward information for both games so that teachers can update them accordingly. This information is now here and ready for you to download!read more...»

Have Bankers Been Practising Socialism? The Debate About the Top 1 Per Cent
Boris Johnson has got into trouble for his statement that it is "surely relevant to a conversation about equality" that just 2 per cent of "our species" has an IQ over 130. Over the past couple of years, the Occupy movement has made headlines by attacking the top 1 per cent.
The summer 2013 edition of the top American Journal of Economic Perspectives focuses specifically on the "Top 1 Per Cent". This is written almost exclusively in English rather than maths, and top economists debate a range of intriguing questions.read more...»
Poverty and Social Exclusion in the UK
Hopefully the UK economy will turn a corner in 2014 and return to robust growth and good health, raising living standards for some of the poorest people in the UK. It would be very odd if you hadn't reflected on the plight of the poor in the UK over the last few years, and in the build up to Christmas.
Much discussion of poverty in Economics is of a normative nature. What do we mean by poverty anyway? Isn't it all just a matter of opinion? Is poverty a lifestyle choice, picked up by people who have been given the wrong incentives by the welfare system? Perhaps it's the fault of immigrants, or greedy business, or dishonest politicians.....
Some relatively impartial data would be very welcome in this very heated debate.read more...»
Wages and Sharing the Fruits of Economics Growth
Employees in the UK are not being denied their fair share of economic growth, according to research by João Paulo Pessoa and Professor John Van Reenen, director of the Centre for Economic Performance at LSE. Their investigation of claims that wage growth has become 'decoupled' from productivity growth finds that decoupling has been overstated and cannot be used to justify redressing the balance between wages and profits.read more...»
Responses to a falling real minimum wage
I've recently looked at the issue of a smaller slice of GDP going to wages, and here are a couple of links and updates on the minimum wage discussion.

Learn Maths, Young Person! The Secret of Success in the 21st Century
A currently fashionable pessimistic topic is the lifetime prospects of children born into the middle class. Graduate debt, lack of finance to buy homes and job insecurity after they graduate, the list goes on. Alan Milburn, the government's 'social mobility tsar', put the seal of approval on this prevailing angst last month. His Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission pronounced that children from families with above-average incomes are now set to enjoy a worse standard of living as adults than their mothers and fathers.read more...»

You Work For Them
Surplus value is the difference in value between the product and the wages paid to the labourer who produced the product, as Marx defined it. Marx highlighted the huge difference and thus sizeable surplus value as an important problem with Capitalism in that the proletarian is taken advantage of, as Marx would argue. Surplus value is becoming more and more relevant today, but in this case we are the Proletariat and innovating corporations are the Bourgeoisie.

Monopsony Power: Migrant Workers Exploited in Qatar
A deeply troubling report is featured here in the Guardian. Qatar, one of the richest countries on the planet, will be hosting the World Cup in 2022. But much of the Gulf state's expansion is being built by some of the poorest migrant workers in the world. In the worst cases, employees are not being paid and work in conditions of forced labour. Thousands of workers from Nepal are trapped in jobs and wages very different to what they were promised.read more...»

Bangladeshi Clothing Factories
Since the appalling fire a few months back at the Rana Plaza complex that cost the lives of more than 1100 people, there has been intense interest and scrutiny of working and living conditions of thousands employed in Bangladeshi clothing factories.
On Monday night the BBC programme Panorama broadcast an investigation into this and the findings were compelling and deeply disturbing.
In "Dying for a Bargain" Panorama discovered there have been at least 50 fires in Bangladeshi clothing factories in the last 10 months. Clothing factory workers filmed by
#BBCPanorama were released at 2:30 am, 19 hours after they started. They were due back at 7am. You can see a clip of this here. Events uncovered at the Ha Meem Sportswear factory will no doubt have left executives at Lidl scrambling to find out the truth about what is happening at one of their major clothing suppliers.
The winner takes it all
Why do CEO's earn so much more than the regular workers? Why do managers of the largest teams earn disproportionately more than their corresponding managerial advantage affords them? The answer lies in the fact that these are both examples of winner-take-all markets.

Labour Market Economics: The Two Tier Jobs Market
A new report from the Resolution Foundation provides evidence for students and teachers on the deep structural divides between well paid and low paid jobs in the British labour market. According to a report in the Guardian "Today more than one in three people aged 16-30 (2.4 million) are low-paid, compared with one in five in the 1970s (1.7 million at that time)."
There are many causes of low pay and students who look at labour market economics will be expected to explore some of them as part of their course. Most of the jobs at risk of poverty pay are relatively low skilled, temporary, mainly non-unionised, often part-time and concentrated in service sector industries such as catering, caring, catering, cleaning and retail. What are the long term economic and social dangers from a deeply embedded two-tier labour market?
The campaign for an (optional) living wage continues to gather momentum. Businesses are being urged to pay employees at least £1 per hour more than the minimum wage in a bid to lift those on the lowest pay out of poverty.read more...»
Unit 1 Micro: Low Paid Workers Strike Over Pay
In the United States many thousands of workers employed by fast-food businesses on low pay have launched a strike complaining against endemic low pay in their jobs. Workers want to be paid $15 (£10) an hour, the median wage [for service workers] is $9.08 an hour and the minimum wage is just $7.25 an hour - unchanged since 2009.
What are the main reasons why workers in these jobs are low paid? One contributory factor is the frequent absence of trade union representation when negotiating pay and conditions. Virtually all private sector fast food jobs in the United States are non-union.
To what extent might a higher minimum pay floor cost jobs? Or could it have the reverse effect and bring about higher productivity and employment? Would the profits of businesses such as McDonald's suffer if they were required to pay more? McDonald's profits totaled $5.47 billion in 2012 and the US fast-food industry each year generates revenues in excess of $200 billion.read more...»

Hi people! I wanted to get an opinion on what y'all think is right in this situation. My brother's high school is a random drug testing program in which they pull the student out of a class during the year (at random) and test for drugs - but parent's permission is required for enrollment in the program with the school packet turned in at the beginning of the year. Would you all enroll your children in this?
At one end - the drug test is done at random and it has its benefits. On the other hand, I would think that the child might feel the parents don't trust him/her and it might entice the child to do drugs that he/she might not or cause other psychological rifts. On one hand - the child would either know he/she is enrolled in the program or the parent can keep it a secret from the child by going to the school after the packet is turned in and enrolling them in the program this way so the child wouldn't know until he/she is pulled from the classroom and *if since it is based on "random" - but I don't know what is the right decision in this situation and wanted some of your advice...thanks in advance. :)
Views: 579
I have said I am "not sure" yet. I will let you know when I come to a conclusion of my advice. And this program wasn't in my school when I was in high school, so I can't say whether my parents would or would not have enrolled me in this program or not since they never had the choice..
And I do base it both on psychological and legal principles. Psychologically I know that this can create a rift. At the same time, psychologically I do know that he has a narcissistic personality and high sense of self-worth and the pressure to keep his ego high due to his narcissism and impressing other people might make him fall into peer pressure. Therefore - I am analyzing this based on my brother's psychological profile and what I know of him more than legal justifications per-say.
Well, I think it is a violation of trust, and whilst, as you argue that kids have less rights, people should teach children what it's like to be an adult as early as possible. In real life you're not going to have someone checking that you're doing everything right.
Also I doubt random tests will even effect the amount of people who get into drugs, and really, if they're just searching for weed, it's pointless anyway, weed is good
There is also a difference between what is permissible under the law or human rights agreements and what is actually a good idea. There are many things we can do, but should not do out of a basic sense of decency, courtesy, and respect.
Another point to think about is what drugs are being tested for? I believe the standard drug tests are looking for the usual line-up of illegals, marijuana, cocaine, heroic, etc. Since marijuana stays in the body and can be detected for a long time, some kids might use other (possibly more dangerous/addicting) drugs if they are out of the body faster to avoid the possibility of detection. I'm not sure of the validity of this but I've read it from multiple sources. Worth considering.
If I had kids, yes I would. I don't feel like it should cause a trust issue or drive the kid to actually do drugs. My parents made it clear that they didn't want up doing drugs, and guess what... I never have, nor have I ever considered doing so. Trust? When my employer has had a random testing policy, I never felt like I was being signaled out, nor did I loose any 'trust'. Heck, I had to be tested on two separate occasions with the same employer. Perhaps a kid may try to shift the blame in these ways if they have a guilty conscious. But in those cases, it's the kid at fault, not the parent.
I don't think it would drive the kid to do drugs, but the fact of the matter is, you don't trust them in that regard if you feel the test is fair or needed.
I would hope that I did everything I could to educate my hypothetical kid. But no matter how you raise them, they can do stupid things. I think of it more as a redundancy check, just in case. Kids can be prone to randomly doing things out of character. So I may trust them 99% of the time, but still realize that given the right pressures they may do something I would never expect from them.If it were a parental request to definitely test your kid I would agree that you certainty don't trust them. But with it being random, I feel that it's less a trust issue and more of a 'just in case' thing.
But if we were to take the trust thing further, should a parent ask to see their kid's report card? Or does not simply taking their word for it concerning their grades also mean that you don't trust them as well?
We do know that children/teens brains have not grown to full capacity in their executive functioning abilities in making the wisest decisions but are driven more on impulse or short-sighted thinking without thinking about the long-term consequences.
So why not put them in a position were they can be criminalized..
No I would not sign my child up to be randomly drug tested. Just like there are laws protecting us against unreasonable search and seizure no one should be subject to a drug test without reasonable cause.
One doesn't develop a trusting relationship with one's child by assuming a default position of distrust.
It's a difficult call if your child is untrustworthy. Without getting into the blame game, I think the parent should decide whether or not reasonable trust can be (re)established. If not, then that probably means your child has a higher likelihood of drug use or abuse.
Let's face it, many parents don't have the best relationships with their children. Because they work with thousands of kids, the schools know all about parent/child dysfunction and it's connection to drug abuse. For such families, the school is offering to play a vital role in drug abuse intervention. Even if the threat of drug testing doesn't stop your child from doing drugs, it might well reveal that he/she is in fact doing them -- which is something you absolutely need to know about, if that's the case.
I know it's best to have a trusting relationship but having one should not lull you into a false sense of security. We all know kids from our own schools, as we grew up, who did drugs because of curiosity or peer pressure or the desire to fit in . . . not because of poor relationships with their parents. There are no guarantees your child will remain drug free (if he's not already doing drugs without your knowledge).
I was a druggie between the ages of 16 and 30. I've seen good kids loose years of their lives and a few lost their lives altogether. The school is right to be concerned about the problem and to offer whatever intervention, disincentives or assistance they can.
And if you have a typical parent-child relationship with your teen, and decide to take advantage of such a school-sponsored program, you need to tell your children that the threat of drugs in modern society is simply too real to ignore. Let them know the stakes are so high that you'll take any help you can get.
Then keep working on that relatioship . . .

Here, kitty kitty
Katy Perry is launching a new perfume, or 'fragrance' as they say in those hoity toity cliques where people drink out of impractical glasses you can't fit your nose in and eat stupid mini pizzas you can fit in your ear.
It's called Purr, so they've packed K-Pez into a tight little feline costume. Clever that. Some marketing guru probably got paid half-a-million bucks for coming up with that little chestnut. Meanwhile, thousands of unwanted cats across the land go unloved. Life makes us sad, sometimes.
When it launches in November, Purr will come with scents of peach nectar, apple and green bamboo, a heart of jasmine blossom, pink freesia and Bulgarian rose and a drydown of vanilla orchid, white amber, sandalwood and musk. The flacon will be cat-shaped and features "jewelled eyes and metallic accents."
Never have so many words meant so little. "Heart of jasmine blossom"? "Drydown of vanilla orchid"? "Musk" – mmm, that sounds… musky. What the jay, K-Pez? We thought you'd have a perfume that smells of lollypops and earth-shatteringly amazing orgasms. What the hell is a flacon, anyway? Do you perhaps mean BOTTLE?
We're surprised that seemingly down to earth Katy has let all this lardy da wordiness happen on her watch.
Ah, that explains it. Katy Perry's been busy experimenting with something new - wearing a PVC dress. She's never done that before. Never. No sirree. No Katy Perry in PVC here, officer.
Just wait till she hears about this "scents of peach nectar" nonsense, slimey marketing executives. There'll be PVC hell to pay.

QEP 2005 Success Stories
Researching Congress in D.C. — Applied Methods in American Politics
Dr. Jocelyn Evans, chair and assistant professor of the UWF Department of Government, used a QEP grant to facilitate a course in which government students identified their own theoretical questions about the U.S. Congress and answered them through field research in Washington, D.C. The students were able to explore different types of research methods available to political scientists, as well as focus on the "ins and outs" of elite interviewing. Several of the students involved in the inaugural course made major strides after graduation: two went on to law school, and one has since graduated and opened a law firm; one student works for an academic publisher; and another student serves as the vice president of sales for a local chiropractic software company.
Development of ArgoJournals: The Journal of Undergraduate Research in Psychology and Behavioral Science
In the fall of 2005, members of the UWF Psychology Department proposed a Quality Enhancement Plan project for the development of an online undergraduate psychology research journal. They were able to complete the project, titled "The Journal of Undergraduate Research in Psychology and Behavioral Science," on deadline, providing graduate students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of research design, report writing and critical thinking by serving as manuscript reviewers. There have been four volumes published thus far. Although the project was developed by the Psychology Department, they made it open to the entire university by creating ArgoJournals, an online collection of journals. It currently houses three units from multiple university departments: Psychology, Student Scholars Symposium (formerly known as SEASTARS) and Chemistry.
Engaging Graduate Students in Professional Presenting, Publishing and Procurement Experiences (P3 Project)
The Presenting, Procuring and Publishing (P3) project engaged College of Professional Studies graduate students in managing, writing and submitting authentic scholarly products utilizing project management skills spearheaded by the UWF Community Outreach Research and Learning (CORAL) Center. The project provided simulating paper competitions in three areas for UWF doctoral students and alumni, completed through the UWF Doctoral Research and Rigor (R&R) Program: Presenting a Conference Paper; Publishing an Article in a Journal; and/or Procuring Funding by Writing a Grant Proposal for Submission. Twenty-nine doctoral students and alumni and eight faculty members participated in the project during its first competition in 2008. Since then, several conferences have been hosted by the doctoral program, and the number of participants continues to increase. Dr. Carla Thompson, associate professor of Research and Advanced Studies, also initiated a grant writing workshop that has been offered every semester since the completion of the QEP project. To date, 63 participants have completed the workshop.
History Capstone Experience
From 2005-2006, faculty members from the Department of History created and implemented a capstone experience for graduating seniors as part of the Academic Learning Compact, in order to create a useful, simple way of assessing undergraduate performance. The assessment procedure measures the student's ability to develop a proposal, identify resources, plan and implement a project and present his or her findings to a faculty member. As part of the Capstone Experience, each student must complete a research paper, class project, documentary, series of oral histories, and an in-class presentation or alternative project that has been approved by a professor. The process has been proven to increase student accountability, provide opportunities for direct and cognitive assessments and support alternative methods of teaching and learning. Since its creation, the History Capstone Experience has been required for every history student. The project successfully addresses all five ALC Student-Learning Outcomes outlined in the QEP goals: content knowledge, critical thinking, communication, ethics and integrity and project management.
Assessing Critical Thinking: A College's Journey and Lessons Learned
The UWF College of Business began transforming its assessment plan in 2005, following a shift in the AACSB accreditation criteria to include assessment. The College of Business administrators and faculty elected to use a summative approach, designating a required Business Policy capstone course for all undergraduate students. As part of the course, students prepared analyses outside of class and participated in classroom discussions, allowing them to gain an understanding of proper application of course and general business concepts. The case series analysis series culminates in an individual written assignment, intended to be a demonstration by students of their level of understanding and ability to apply both course and general business curriculum concepts. Starting in spring 2005, the capstone faculty implemented a program to assess the critical thinking ability of students in all sections of the capstone policy course. Since then, the learning goal has been assessed and interventions have been implemented as findings are released. Members of the College of Business faculty wrote an article about the process, titled Assessing Critical Thinking: A College's Journey and Lessons Learned, which was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Education for Business. Several articles based on the work have also been presented at conferences of SACS and the Association for Business Simulation and Experiential Learning.

�A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words��
You know LA,
The 5 fingers that we possess are not alike...no two persons are alike...nothing in this world is the same...there are only coincidences!
What I'd like to say is I know how it is to have little fusses and fights with our best friends...and not being able to see eye to eye on certain matters...BUT lets just celebrate our differences lets go out and party!!! what say??
friends are the people who are still there to support you�when you're having a hard time
For me friendship means to give.
A word, an affectionate gesture, the understanding, a help, a kiss, a handshake...... I give everything to my friends...... when I realize of thing they have really need.... I don't know if it is correct or it is wrong.... but this ....I am
I met my best friend when I thought I didnt have a friend in the world. Just when I thought I was totally alone, their she was in the same perdictament as I was, sitting next to me. She was crying and I put my hand on her leg and told her "everything would work out in the end" later she had told me that she wanted to hit me, cause I didnt know what she was going though. I took a chance and reached out to a stranger who was in need of a friend, only I needed the friendship to. We have been best friends ever since. We share everything, talk on the phone everyday for atleast 3 hours. We help each other though hard times.

Too often, nurses faced with the weight of oppressive work conditions have lashed out at other nurses. The everyday politics of oppression created and continues to generate tensions that lead to lateral violence in nursing or what is now called a "lack of civility".[i]
The phrase "nurses eat their young" is itself a perpetuation of these phenomena, generalizing and too often normalizing lateral violence by nurses.
The first step in getting out from under the weight of our oppressed group behavior is to recognize and name lateral violence. Lateral violence may result in a wide range of behaviors such as:
Griffin (2007) suggests that in addition to naming lateral violence, nurses need to take a stand for "zero tolerance". The costs of lateral violence in nursing are enormous and include nursing staff turnover and impaired quality of nursing care. Therefore, there needs to be a strong commitment from the "top down as well as bottom" up to eradicate the behaviors, many of which begin in nursing education.
Nurse educator and researcher Cynthia Clarke has noted that nursing students need to experience and learn civil behaviors on the part of faculty and health care staff to bring nurses out from under the rock of nurse oppression.[iii] From zero tolerance, the culture of nursing needs to further empower nurses to speak-up and support one another.
Everyday, nurses are making the history of tomorrow. We cannot afford to be "victims" of the past nor passive recipients or active perpetrators of lateral violence in nursing. Our challenge as nurses is to create a new history built on respect and support. This will build a work culture that is not just good for nurses, but also conducive to promoting quality health care outcomes for our patients.

December 21, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Members of special Senate panel are raising questions about University of Tennessee fees being used to pay for speakers at a student-initiated program about sex.
Republican Sen. Stacey Campfield of Knoxville suggested at the higher education subcommittee hearing on Thursday that students should be able to opt out of their fees being used to pay for events they find objectionable.
Joe DiPietro, the president of the state's flagship public university, responded that the First Amendment requires officials to remain neutral about the subjects that speakers want to address.
The university in March withdrew more than $11,000 in direct funding for Sex Week after some state lawmakers took issue with the program but said it was powerless to halt $6,700 in student fees being used to support the event.
