Who Will Decide When You Will Retire? RBC Poll Finds Boomers May Be Surprised By The Answer
Four-in-ten boomers had less than six months notice before they retired
TORONTO, Sept. 19, 2012 /CNW/ - Many (85 per cent) pre-retired Boomers with financial assets of $100,000 or more believe they will have the choice of when to retire, however, only 62 per cent of retired Boomers actually did have the choice, according to the third annual RBC Retirement Myths and Realities Poll.
"Most Canadians assume they will decide when to retire, but what if that isn't the case?" said Amalia Costa, head, Retirement Strategies, RBC. "There are enough uncertainties in life -- knowing what to expect in retirement doesn't have to be one of them."
The RBC poll found that Boomers don't always have much lead time in advance of their retirement date. In fact, one-in-five (20 per cent) retired Boomers knew one month or less before their actual retirement that they were going to retire and 42 per cent had less than six months notice before they retired."The surprising number of people facing unexpected retirement highlights the critical importance of starting lifestyle and financial planning early," said Roger Mannell, director of the RBC Retirement Research Centre at the University of Waterloo and a professor of recreation and leisure studies, public health, and gerontology. "As someone who not only studies successful aging, but who is retiring within a year, I've given much thought to my retirement. Many may be thinking of retirement as a vacation without yet having planned for the health, lifestyle, and financial considerations of the next 20 to 30 years of their retired life. Although important, vacations are only part of the mix - it's important to plan for key aspects of your day-to-day living." The poll also found that for those retired Boomers who felt their retirement came at the right time, the majority (78 per cent) say they wanted to enjoy an active retirement while their health was good. Being healthy was cited as the main reason for the timing of their retirement, ahead of having enough money (34 per cent) or being unhappy at work (25 per cent).

Questions about my Coby Kyros MID8125
Monday 27th of February 2012
Hello all,I am not sure if my tablet is Gen 1 or Gen 2. It runs Android 2.3.I recently recevied it as a gift from a client of mine and I have been looking for a replacement for my Nook Color. I am really enjoying this tablet. It runs gingerbread pretty smoothly. I have installed the Amazon AppStore on it as well as a few of my favorite apps from there and some others I have in APK format. I'd really like to root this thing and install a different launcher taht allows me to place my icons closer together as well have access to the full google market.It was missing the pouch and USB adapter it came with from the factory. I have a USB cable so data transfer isn't a problem, but I understand there is another adapter to allow me to hook up flash drives and stuff. So I would be interested in aquiring one of those if anyone knows where it get it.I have had the tablet for a few days and already read about 4 or books on it and I find the lower resolution of the screen on this device easier on my eyes as compared with the Nook Color. I have installed a 16GB SD card which has some movies, music

Did I brick my Coby Kyros MID8125?
Thursday 21st of June 2012
I rooted my tablet using z4root. I then downloaded a GApps zip file. I then went to settings to try to install this update, and the tablet restarted on me. It now shows a screen with the green android guy underneath a triangle with an orange-ish yellow explanation mark inside. It just stays there, no text saying its updating, nothing else on the screen at all. Its just frozen on the screen.I cannot power it off, and pushing the hard reset but does not do anything either. Did I brick it? Is there nothing I can do to save my tablet?Its been at this screen for about a half hour now, BTW.

Coby Kyros MID8125 Cannot turn back on!
Monday 26th of December 2011
Hello,I bought this tablet for my son for Christmas. He was playing with it all day, and despite being frustrated that AppsLib was not working, everything else seemed to be fine. Then, before supper, he pressed the power button to save the battery, but did not fully turn it off. When he went back to play with it, pressing the power button would not turn it back on. We had him recharge it several times. The main button turns red when plugged in, and the M and arrow buttons light up when you touch them, however the screen never comes up, so we can't even turn it off properly! Has anyone else had a similar problem? It's as if the video has died. We didn't get the extended warranty, so it looks like we will have to ship it to the manufacturer under the one year warranty. Is there anyway to fix it locally?Thanks for considering...

OGJ Washington Editor
WASHINGTON, DC Dec. 21 – The US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement has begun work to develop the first geological and geophysical programmatic environmental impact statement for areas of the US Outer Continental Shelf off the South and Mid-Atlantic coasts.
It said that the PEIS would evaluate environmental effects of seismic surveys and other G&G activities to gather information about potential oil, gas, and renewable energy development on the OCS.
US Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said seismic surveys along the South and Mid-Atlantic coasts possibly could take place. He removed the area from the 5-year OCS program that BOEMRE is developing for the 2012-17 period in response to questions arising from the Apr. 20 Macondo well blowout. BP PLC operated Macondo.
The blowout resulted in an explosion and fire on Transocean Ltd.'s Deepwater Horizon semisubmersible and a Gulf of Mexico crude oil spill.
Industry sources have expressed skepticism to OGJ that any such seismic studies will occur because producers customarily don't pay for them without firm assurances that they will lead to development of identified resources, and Congress probably would not authorize what would be new funding in a climate emphasizing cutting costs and reducing the federal budget deficit.
BOEMRE conducted 13 public meetings in seven locations to solicit comments for development of the PEIS. It awarded a task order on Dec. 17 to Continental Shelf Associates to develop the document, which it expects to make available for public comment in 2011 and complete during 2012.

TGS: Final Fantasy Legends (mobile)
When I first heard about Final Fantasy Legends, I wasn't at Tokyo Game Show. I was on the train. There was a little billboard for the game, which sort of blew my mind. I'm sure that sort of thing is normal for citizens of Tokyo, but I'm still getting used to seeing advertising for cell phone games in public places.

Love the Look: Emily Browning's Tropical Print Dress (PHOTOS)
Summer is right around the corner and Emily Browning is celebrating the season early with a cute tropical print minidress.
The dress featured green painted leaves that created an abstract effect on the sexy dress design. The mixture of deep and neon greens created an interesting effect on the dress and makes it look more youthful than your typical cocktail frock.
It's no secret that prints have been a huge trend this year, and everything from pants to scarves have been covered in bright, graphic prints. If you do decide to wear a piece of clothing with a bold print, be sure to pair it with neutral accessories like the beige shoes that Emily wore.
Emily wore the cute mini to a photocall for her new film, Sleeping Beauty at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival on Thursday, May 12.
What do you think of Emily's dress? Sound off in the comments.

Annual General Meeting for Albany Creek GPS Rugby 2014
Postponed until January
Now on Thursday, 15th January at 7pm, 2015
At the Club
Christmas drinks to follow
All welcome
Albany Creek GPS Rugby Club Presentation Day
It's not long before we draw the curtain on another great year of rugby for all teams at the Brumbies.
As well as the AGM & players presentations, this year we are looking to extend the celebration into the afternoon.
The date to lock in the diary is Sunday 14th September
Arrival 10:45am
Lunch (chicken & sausages sizzle) will be provided for all the players, siblings & parents. Alcohol will be on sale for the adults all afternoon & the canteen will be open. For the kids, we have organized laser skirmish, a jumping castle, an inflatable slide and gladiator duel (which could see some adults taking the challenge for a laugh) for some fun throughout the day.
We know that some teams will have organized their own break ups but would like to invite all teams to use this occasion as the official club break up party. Please feel free to use parts of the main playing field for your team and we encourage parents to bring gazebos/ marquees (just don't peg anything into the field please), chairs and nibbles.
The presentations will be held outdoors again in front of the clubhouse. Every player will receive a trophy and other key individuals will be recognised on the day for their achievements & support throughout the season. We have decided to recognise our sponsors separately and will also hold our election of office bearers at a separate date.
The timetable for the day is:
10:45 am START - Parents should look to drop their boys off with their team on field 5 (furthest from clubhouse) then gather in front of the clubhouse for presentations.
The boys will be taken to the presentation area by their coaches/ managers who will be waiting for them on FIELD 5.
We are looking to keep the presentation to a tight schedule and would appreciate if parents could make sure the boys are there on time.
12:00– 5:00pm - LASER SKIRMISH, INFLATABLE CASTLE & SLIDE AVAILABLE TO ALL PLAYERS & SIBLINGS

Historical Traveler Reviews Prazeres Resorts Candolim
we went to goa in in december 04, it was our first time and we really did not know what to expect at all, but we had a fab time it was great the people are really friendly and the prazeres hotel was brilliant.we could not really fault it at all it was always kept clean and the staff were second to none. the resort was ideal too and there was plenty to do.
Beware of the waves as they can be dangerous the current is just so strong as i found out when i was out there and got caught but that was the only bad thing about the holiday.
we are going again for 3 weeks in novenber but are having a change of hotel not for any reason other than a change the prazeres was great and the entertainment and staff made the holiday even better.
Another trip another doller
Back at the Prazeres Dec 2004. The Bread for breakfast is the worst in Goa. I do not believe one word of the write up that it was so fresh and wonderful, that is total make believe. Most of the staff are really great,
Amon on reception is the man to 'trust' Manuel the Manger is a Good Guy. young Anthony on the bar tries his best and needs rewarding. The Toast makers for Breakfast would be refused by 'Oxfam'. Steven and Julie are a Great couple who have bought a Flat in the complex. The Taxi boys have improved a great deal over the past few years. The hotel is very good value for money, of course there are a few bad points but overall it is good value. If I had a bad room I would ask to be moved etc.etc. There are bad staff and totally usless staff in any hotel, ignore the bad ones and pick the good one, one does not have to know a rocket sicence to know this. After three years there I avoid certain bar staff and go for the genuine ones as one does in a Pub in the Uk. If you have a problen see Manuel dont speak to the 'Oil Rag' get real and sort out a Hotel problem there and then not on this site.
Hells bells its Goa not the south of France where one spends more on a coffee then two weeks wages in the Prazeres Hotel. I have had my rucks there but will still go back there as it beats the others I have been to for the last ten years and for more years then I care to remember. Overall the staff are 'Honest' but I dont vouch for all, my rooms have been good, All staff, but 3 no more, most of the Taxi drivers, and my 'Mate Amon' Manuel and the Boss Rauel are Great.
Remember this is Goa at a Penny a go to be real, so cheap its embrassing for one to know where to hide ones twenty pound notes.
Come on the moaning minnies one get what one deserves, and for a fiver for weeks to have total care and attention from ones room boys, hang your heads in shame. YES we wont stand for the rip off no way I wont so pick and choose your servers and who you tip. So simple. Rember its GOA not London and there is some rubbish in London let alone the rest of the UK. All round the Parezers is good value, the Bread is Rubbish, but man can not live by bread alone, Only two Jags out of wales can complain. Once again Pick your staff to serve you and treat your room boys good and its great. I heard one party of five got 2 room boys up and down for 40 minutes, getting their luggage etc. then gave them 20 rupees, then wrote and complained. I will go back in December for one big Booze up so Single women join me for One big Party. This is one of the best sites on the net. Best Wishes to Steve jJulie Mick and family from shefield and the Good staff. Barry from London.
Staff were good
we stayed they 3 weeks found the staff very good the rooms could do with better furnishings, the steps of the pool were hard to climb up but we spoke to the manager about this and asured us that when we go back in jan 29th that they will be better,he also listen to what we said and is doing everything to get the place as best for hoilday makers.as for cleaning the place was done every day the pool aera had a lady that walked round all day picking up any papers ect from 7am till 4pm every day. people left bottles glassess ect and they were cleared away right away.we were given nice clean towels at the pool side every day. we enjoyed our stay there in nov 2004 and just waiting to return in jan 2005
Never again
As I do agree with the review from Jan 2005 regarding the beds and the linen, I must say that the hotel itself and the staff were exceptional.
The staff couldn't be more friendly, and the restaurant had a variety of foods and was very reasonably priced.
I suppose if i had paid �3000 for my holiday I would be fed up. We were lucky and had a good deal, so at the price we paid we were quite happy.
As for the staff uniforms, they earn 50 rupees a day and are expected to wash and look after their own clothing and supply their own shoes.
We had no problem with the toast, there was always fresh loaves of bread for us to use, perhaps we could talk further sometime.
Never again
I must say that I was very disapointed with the Prezeres, and especially after reading so many of the reviews. My family and I were quite horrified with our accommodation. The first smell to hit you which was most overpowering were the mothballs which were scattered around everywhere. The mattresses were very badly stained as were the pillows and was absolutely vile. I could not believe what I was seeing. The sheets did not even cover the whole of the bed, we slept with towels over the pillows. We paid over �3000 for this holiday and expected at least cleanliness and hygiene. Whilst I understand that India is a poor country living in poverty, who rely heavily on tourism, more money should be spent on the basic's in the hotels, i.e. mattress pillow covers etc. The gym was an absolute disgrace, it was down in the basement in a dark hole which was a death trap. The staff were friendly, however their uniforms were terribly worn and could have done with a wash. The bread for toast was always stale, and the cutlery and teacups were always only half washed. I would never again stay at the Prezeres.
Fantasic Everything! Couldnt recommend it more
Stayed at Prazeres for around a week in November and was amazed. Staff the friendliest I have come across, the room was enormous and clean and the general atmosphere of the place was supurb. Dont stay anywhere else in Goa!!
The Prazeres is the only hotel to stay in at Candolim, The staff cant do enough for you. We have been twice in Feb 03 and Feb 04 and the staff remembered us and treated us so well.
The rooms themselves are basic ( as are all goan hotels ) and kept spotlessley clean. Aircon was available to but we were happy with the large fan that hangs from the roof. Balconies spacious and very pleasant to sit out on in the evenings.
The food at the hotel is adiquate but we preffered to eat out. Floyds and Cicelia's deserve a mention as the food & service was second to none.
We met a beach guy called Surindra ( he is in front of the White Horse Shack ) and he couldnt do enough for us. Even washed our towels after a day on the beach & organised for his brother to take us back to the airport on the way home.
Try and get out and about, there is so much to see.
As I said earlier in my review, The Prazeres is THE BEST hotel in Candolim, dont bother with these 5 star all inclusive places, enjoy the real Goa by eating out and meeting people. I can honeslty say that we can not wait to go back......... Roll on Feb 2006 !
Where else would you want to stay in candolim
+we had the pleasure of staying at the hotel over the christmas period in 2003/2004. we had a wonderful time .the staff were wonderful and thenguys who cleaned the rooms everyday .... Well you went out in the morning and you wouldnt know what to expect when you arrived back after a day on the beach its amazing what can be made out of a few towels and discarded clothing ,,, All the staff were very pleasant and nothing was to much trouble ... a more pleasant place would be hard to fine ... The quality of serwice and the quality of food would be hard to beat . we are retuning in 2005 with 10 people this time so .... hey it must be good ....
If you have been to Goa a few times. This hotel is a little Gem
A peaceful location, friendly staff. Many hotels can disappoint you but not this one.
Wow, what a great place
for the price we paid, we expected a little board house, what we got was a wonderfully clean and vibrant hotel. The staff werte friendly and we are still in touch with 2 waiters 2 years on. in a perfect setting if you like some peace and privacy, just a 3 minute walk to the beautiful sandy beaches, where you will not be interupted by many of the 'sellers' as candolim is one of the quietest Goan resorts which holds onto its primitive and magical ways of life which I found other resorts had lost. there are plenty of restaraunts within walking distance of the hotel, though the food in the hotel is fantastic, the way they do their 'english style' pizzas is a little strange, but try it . The hotels pool is fairly large and very clean and wonderful to dive into & cool down after spending a day on the beach or visiting some of the wonderful sights in and around Goa. taxis are on hand 24/7 outside the hotel, these are the best taxis to use as they wont rip you off because they get good wages from the hotel and generally Goan people are very honest. The manager of prazeres (who's name I've forgotten) interacted with guests constantly and was very entertaining, always ensuring guests had a pleasant stay. We fell in love with Goa the 1st time we went there in1999 and in 2001 we fell in love with the Prazeres resort and its way of making you feel on top of the world day and night, tipsy or sober, just stay away from the underground nightclub, the music is extremely cheesy!

Shark for dinner
We had another day at the pool, by accident. Thursday was going to be a day at the beach but Jason convinced meit was Friday, a pool day. I rummaged in the wardrobe for some likely books for Jason but he said he wasn't interested so I started reading an Andy Mcnab book, my 14th only for him to nick it half way through. Had the simple but nice buffet lunch at the hotel..& ...
Goa and Hampi
... colours that lead down to the beach. We hired a moped and stumbled across a little fishing port, on asking the men who worked there they told us there was a beach just across a field. We walked over this field that had a little pathway trodden in, signs that people had obviously been here before and we weren't being sent on a wild goose chase. The end of the field opened up to a deserted beach, it was amazing. The fishing port was to the left ...
Goa - The Paradise!!!
... water created almost a kilometre long wall and in the middle of it there was a rail track and we were lucky enough to actually see the train passing by. Amazing!!! But the best thing of all about that place was the fact that we could have a swim in a little lake at the base of the waterfall. OMG!!!! How fantabulous was that?!? The water had a perfect temperature - colder than the sea but not too cold at all. Bear in mind that it was something like at least 35 degrees outside so ...
A bit more like Goa!
... had put them in the cupboard and we got them back! He wanted 200 rupees for it, we weren't sure if he was joking or not so we laughed and thanked him whilst walking away. A long sleep under a fan all day, a shower and a few rehydration solutions later and Izzy's feeling a bit more human although the stomach itself is not much better. We're going to see if she can manage something to eat and check out Candolin town now and hopefully find some WiFi to upload all these ...
Yoga ..........Indian style!
... So I had to ask him what was the purpose of the jogging and how did it relate to yoga. " Its fitness" he replied "you said you wanted fitness" we both then tried to explain that although we had said the word fitness we did not expect a cardio workout in the yoga class. But we were looking at fitness through the yoga positions. Bless him I dread to think what he would have got us doing next. Press ups???? We both tried to explain what we meant and ...

The Washington Nationals' rookie plays his first game tonight for the Single-A Hagerstown Suns. Why all baseball fans should be excited.
If you are a Yankees fan, you might not care about Bryce Harper.
When you root for a winning baseball team, you don't have to care about a rookie catcher-turned-outfielder who will take his first regular season professional swings this week for the Single-A Hagerstown Suns. If you are lucky enough to follow the Yankees, Phillies, Giants, Red Sox, Rangers, or any other successful team, you get to spend all summer thinking about a pennant race.
If you are a fan of a bad team, however, you don't get that luxury. If you love a team like the Pirates, Orioles, or Nationals—who made Bryce Harper the first overall pick in the 2010 amateur draft—you need to find other ways of enjoying the sport.
Like sitting in the sunshine, for instance. Fans of bad baseball teams are quick to point out that simply being at the ballpark is a big part of the game's appeal. Which it is. Baseball, with its manicured, perfected version of nature, is our national monument to Jefferson's pastoral dream. Romantic pastoralism, however, can only take a fan so far. Especially when it costs ten bucks to park. We're drawn to baseball because we love a good story. And the taut, fitful game in which we have invested so much of the national soul is perhaps the country's greatest venue for telling stories to ourselves, about ourselves—be they stories of teamwork and sportsmanship, segregation and civil rights, or tacitly communicating the right way for an American to walk.
The most important story baseball tells, though, isn't nationalistic, but universal. Ultimately, the greatest gift the game can give—the greatest gift that any game can give, really—is hope. Hope is why Bryce Harper matters to baseball fans, no matter where their favorite team sits in the standings. Hope is why the Nationals made the left-handed hitter their first pick, and it's why fans around the country will pay attention when this 18-year-old plays his first game for the Suns tonight.
Harper, you see, isn't just a prospect. He's a phenom, and phenoms tell us perhaps the most hopeful story humans can hear. They tell us that we, as a species, are getting better.
Athletes are the literal embodiment of human evolution—forever going higher, farther, faster. Usually, however, that process is barely perceptible, moving by fractions of an inch or tenths of a second. The truly exceptional athlete, though, makes a quantum leap. Superior athletes don't just improve records, they shatter them. Like Tiger Woods winning the Masters by 12 strokes, Wilt Chamberlain scoring 100 points in a game, or Babe Ruth hitting 54 homers when no one had even hit 30. Athletes like that don't merely win. They change how the game is played. In so doing, in transcending the limits of their sport, they show us that it's possible to transcend the circumstances of our own lives.
Bryce Harper, there's no question, has the mark of greatness.
In 2008, playing for a team in his native Las Vegas, Harper hit a home-run that his coaches measured at 570 feet. The deepest field in the Major Leagues, by comparison, is Houston's Minute Maid Park, with a center field wall 436 feet from home. The longest verifiable home run of all-time, hit by Babe Ruth in Detroit, measured about 575 feet.
Harper was a high school freshman at the time.
In 2009, he was at the Tampa Bay Rays' home, Tropicana Field. Hitting in a showcase event for young players, Harper drove a shot to right that smacked off the stadium's back wall. They called that one 502 feet—the longest ball ever hit at Tropicana Field. In 13 years of Major League Baseball at the Trop, no one had ever hit the back wall—not Manny Ramirez, not Jim Thome, or a juiced-up Rafael Palmeiro and Jason Giambi. Check out the video of Harper's swings, and listen to the PA announcer go absolutely bonkers when he realizes what he's seeing.
But, you might object, Harper was using an aluminum bat, which can increase a ball's distance by five or ten percent. True. But he was also still just 17.

Which is most likely to make you significantly happier and healthier?
1. Play with the dog.
2. Play with a cat.
3. Post to your "friends" on Facebook.
4. Post pictures of dogs and cats for your "friends" on Facebook.
5. None of the above.
Many, many scientific studies reveal that being actively involved with friends and associates is an excellent predictor of well-being. There is even pretty good evidence that getting yourself more involved in a social network with others, such as by volunteering in the community, is a reliable way to make yourself feel better, both mentally and physically. Or, if you prefer scientific jargon, we could say: Individuals who are well integrated into their communities are much happier and healthier, as compared to the network-less lonely recluse.
Right now, tens of millions of people worldwide are spending time on THE social network, namely Facebook. So why isn't everyone doing great? Is Facebooking just as good as hanging out in real life? Perhaps it matters what you are doing on Facebook? Browsing around, I've noticed that there are more than a few pictures and videos of dogs and cats in cyberspace. Most of us love pets, so does this kind of posting provide a double benefit? All the evidence is not yet here (as studies continue to trickle in), but I doubt that Facebook is the secret to vitality and longevity.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The Knoxville Police Dept. has nabbed the one of the two suspects wanted in connection with a homicide investigation in August. Myron Tate was spotted shortly after 1:00 a.m. on Christmas Eve by an investigator who was working at a bowling alley on Parkside near Mabry Hood.
The investigator was able to get a partial tag number off the red Ford Explorer Tate got into and called the police. Another officer spotted the SUV at the intersection of Parkside and Seven Oaks. When a second officer arrived, the Explorer took off, finally going off the road at E. Red Bud and Cruze in S. Knoxville.
Tate tried running into a nearby wooded area and officers called in a K9 unit. Tate was eventually captured, but not before the K9 took a bite.
Tate already faced charges of First Degree Murder, Failure to Appear, Aggravated Burglary, and two counts of Aggravated Robbery; a KPD spokesperson said he will also be charged with Reckless Driving, two counts of Evading Arrest, and Driving without a Valid License.
Roderick King was killed in late August at 2730 Magnolia Ave.

California & Excelsior College
- 0All:
- Please read before replying.
- I've seen where California does not accept Excelsior Graduates (either by examination or endorsement), due to the lack of clinical hours in the Excelsior program.
- In my particular situation, I failed the 2nd semester medical-surgical class (at the brick-and-mortar college) causing me to drop out of the program. However, I was able to sit for my LPN license, as New York (at the time) allowed students who completed three of four semesters of an RN program to sit for LPN boards.
- I then went on to complete my ASN-Nursing through Excelsior College.
- My questions:
- I am currently attending a brick-and-mortar college (here in Pennsylvania) for my BSN.
- 1. If I were to take the 2nd semester medical-surgical class (with clinical) and satisfy the California BON clinical requirements, would I be able to endorse into California?
- 2. What if just completed a BSN program (brick-and-mortar), and also obtained 2 years hospital experience as an RN. Note: The BSN program does not have a clinical portion.
- Would either of the above situations allow me to endorse into California?
- Note: I have contacted the California BON with the above scenarios. Unfortuantely, I received the standard "we evaluate applicants on a case-by-case basis" form letter.
- I talked with the Excelsior College administration (multiple times during the two years I attended), and received the same generic response, "California evaluates applicants on a case-by-case basis."
- Note: I can no longer return to the original brick-and-mortar program and re-take the medical-surgical class, due to that particular college's requirements of being able to complete the program in so many years.
- I would have to believe someone out there has endorsed into California after graduating from Excelsior and then meeting the clinical hour requirements.
- So here I am, asking ... Has anyone out there attempted to endorse into California after completing the Excelsior Program, and going to a brick-and-mortar school to get the required clinical hours?
- Thanks in advance,
JohnnyLast edit by SirJohnny on Mar 6, '11
- 0Mar 6, '11 by Pixie.RN, BSN, RN, EMT-P Senior ModeratorI haven't heard of anyone doing that, but somehow I think the CA BRN would turn you down ... I think the crux of the matter is "clinicals concurrent with theory," so even with later experience and or clinicals, the answer would probably be no. I have nearly 5000 hours as an RN, and I'm pretty sure they'd turn me down because my ADN was from EC. Even with my BSN and all those hours, I wouldn't count on it.
- 0LunahRN:
- If I were to take the 2nd semester Med-Surg class (with clinicals) ... I would take both the theory portion as well as the clinical portion. It would be a 7 credit class.
- I find it hard to believe that no one has even attempted to do this. More amazingly, no one at either Excelsior or the CA-BON will give me a straight answer.
- 0Mar 6, '11 by Pixie.RN, BSN, RN, EMT-P Senior ModeratorI'm not surprised you're not getting straight answers ... EC can't speak for the CA BRN, and the CA BRN doesn't like to commit to anything where EC is concerned. It's a gamble, and it makes sense the way you explain it, but ... yeah, it's a gamble. Let us know if you go this route, and what happens!
- 0LunahRN:
- I sent another e-mail to the CA-BON this afternoon. Unfortunately, it will take
another 3 months to hear back from them.
- As you said ... very frustrating.
- In the meantime, I am hoping someone has already taken the path (or attempted
to take the path) that I am proposing. I would think someone at Excelsior has
attempted to do this. Unfortunately, no one in the Excelsior College administration
knows of anyone either succeeding or failing at the attempt.
Again, thanks for your comments.
- 0Apr 9, '11 by Nurse_AngelaNV2CANobody on this board has been able to answer that question as it seems that when it comes to Excelsior and CA everyone seems to stay away from it. Hopefully there is someone else out there who can help. I personally am trying to go the Arizona route as I am from Nevada and I am planning on doing the 120 clinical preceptorship after the CPNE. Will it work? I do not know but we shall see.
- 0Apr 9, '11 by NurseCubanitaRN2bI've researched and have contacted the BRN with similiar scenarios and their answers are very short and vague. Honestly, I don't think you will ever get the answers until you actually submit the transcripts and wait for your acceptance or denial. Have you taken the NCLEX-RN yet? If you haven't taken it yet and you have that clinical experience you may want to try anyway and see what they say. If your plan is to work in CA it's beneficial for you to attempt to try anway. If your plan isn't to work in CA then I wouldn't go for it unless you're just curious to see what happens. Either way I wish you the best of luck in your studies.
- 0Jul 15, '12 by BennyRNCAThe reason CA BON tells people, it's on a case by case basis, is it depends on when you obtained your degree from EC. For those that graduated before a certain year, you may be eligible to take the exam or get in via endorsement, but for those pass that certain year, they will most likely deny your application.
One person was able to get his license endorsed into CA but had to fight for it, read on:
You can go to the CA BON site and there's a few pieces of information talking about the EC problem and why EC grads are being rejected. It's under one of their main heading.

TREND HUNTING: We've always loved hardware detail on clothing, but what do we think about showing your pretty pins on purpose? It's kind of cool we think. Would you be excited to see this become a trend?
It's pretty safe to say that Michelle Williams, Halle Berry and Ginnifer Goodwin currently take the cake in the short hair competition. But just like Mia Farrow, Edie Sedgewick and the many, many pixies before them, it's important to find ways to switch it up. Here are some suggestions on how you can keep that cropped cut fresh:
~Products: TRY THEM ALL! Go into Ulta or Sephora or your local salon and ask questions. Every short haircut reacts differently to product depending on the natural texture, and when you put it on. One product can look totally different when applied to damp hair vs. dry hair. Try matte pomades that have no shine, then try regular pomades that do have shine. Try pastes, spray waxes, control creams, you can even try hand lotion. Product is your best friend when it comes to short hair and you have to be a little bit of a Goldie Locks to find the one that's just right. It's what gives you the most versatility and milage with a short haircut.
~Parting: Changing your part is so much fun with short hair. Perfect example here and here. It's a great remedy for boredom. If you have a stubborn cowlick in front, blow dry it the other way right when you get out of the shower for more control. Also, try parting your hair on the diagonal. Start with a deep side part and then split the hair diagonally. This will keep your hair feeling balanced and not too side heavy.
~Slick it! Call me crazy, but I've always loved this look and it's a fun way to change things up for a night out. Generously apply a strong holding gel to damp hair. Set into place with a fine tooth comb. For a more subtle version, try this instead.
~Accessorize. Bobby pins, thin headbands, and earrings. Short hair begs for some sweet accessorizing. Somehow, exposed bobby pins always look rather cool in short hair. In my opinion, thin headbands tend to look better than thick headbands in shorter hair. And, well, earrings are the BEST on girls with short hair. You notice them more. Plus, it's a great way to keep the look super feminine.
~Go for some edge. Absolutely LOVE THIS! Before you decide you're totally over your short hair, live it UP! Take the sides super short for one last hurrah. It's so SO chic and you might just find a new love for short hair.
~To bang or not to bang. Bringing your bangs down typically helps to soften your look. Pushing them back tends to bring out your facial features, bone structure, and allows your face to take center stage. If you need help with styling your bangs, we've got you covered right here.

The weekend is quickly approaching! Weekends = Flea Markets. One of Lauren's favorite hair acessories is not a hair accessory at all. It's a vintage brooch. She collects them from the flea markets and vintage expos, gives them to me and I make them into a new hair accessory. It's so easy and makes a simple pulled back piece of hair into something much more special. The stones in Lauren's hair in THIS video were actually 2 clip-on earrings, side by side!
I like to use "Gorilla Glue" + a bobby pin or metal clip. Attach and let it sit overnight.
Head to your local flea market this weekend and start collecting!

Amos Lee isn't quite as famous as those tiny cookies that share his given name, but his product is substantial and tasty. The Philadelphian's John Prine-influenced songwriting and soulful delivery stokes any coffeehouse crowd's appetite. His latest studio album, Last Days at the Lodge, puts him in command of his singer/songwriter game just below the popularity level of Jason Mraz and John Mayer but with added depth. On top of that, Lee has shared bills with the likes of Norah Jones, Bob Dylan, and Paul Simon.

His most recent big-name pairing came in the name of Haitian relief. This past February, he teamed up with Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart, fellow folkster Brett Dennen, and others for the Heartbeat for Haiti fundraiser in San Francisco. This was a natural move for Lee, whose folk-meets-R&B tunes can provide a lift for the down and out just as well as providing an audible treat for lovers.

Frost & Sullivan Recognizes 8x8's Continued Dominance In The North American Hosted IP Telephony And UC Services Market
With mobile access to corporate systems and applications becoming a critical element of business communications solutions, 8x8 is well positioned to leverage this trend. Both the standard and the premium packages of Virtual Office include a PC soft client and a mobile client—unlike competitors, which charge additional fees for desktop or mobile applications.
Furthermore, 8x8 offers a complete hosted contact center solution, whereas most of its competitors only provide basic automated call distribution (ACD) functionality. 8x8 was also among the first hosted IP telephony providers to add videoconferencing capabilities to its portfolio. It offers video as part of its Web conferencing services and video bridging services that link desktop video with other videoconferencing endpoints.
To provide a one-stop shop to its customers, 8x8 has enabled its applications to integrate with some of the most popular business solutions, such as Microsoft Exchange, Google Mail, Salesforce.com, ACT!, NetSuite, SugarCRM, and eAgent. Further, 8x8 enables customers to deploy its business VoIP services over any kind of access network. This capability allows customers to leverage existing broadband contracts or deploy access services that best suit their needs across multiple geographic locations.
Most importantly, 8x8 has priced its services very competitively. Customers can subscribe to the complete PBX functionality, along with unlimited local and long distance calls, for as little as $29.99 per user per month. Further, 8x8 has account executives and customer service representatives available to walk customers through the solution and its functionality, and help them with installation and configuration if needed.In recognition of its achievements and the factors that enable it to stay ahead of competition in a tough market, 8x8 is the worthy recipient of the 2012 Frost & Sullivan Market Share Leadership Award. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated excellence in capturing the highest market share within its industry. The award recognizes the company's leadership position within the industry in terms of revenues or units, as specified.

(Adds Baroin's age in second paragraph.)
June 30 (Bloomberg) -- Christine Lagarde's exit from French President Nicolas Sarkozy's cabinet of ministers reduces the proportion of women in his government to 29 percent, far short of the gender parity he pledged during his election campaign.
Lagarde, 55, who was this week named the first woman to head the International Monetary Fund, was replaced yesterday as French Finance Minister by Francois Baroin, 46. Lagarde is taking over at the IMF from Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who quit after his arrest last month on charges including attempted rape.
Sarkozy promised in the run up to the 2007 vote that at least half his ministerial posts would be held by women. With the proportion of women now five percentage points lower than before, he will be hard pressed to defend his record on gender equality as he heads toward the 2012 presidential race. His new team cuts the number of women ministers to six out of 24 and female junior ministers to four out of 10. It also leaves no administrative office in France with a female chief.
"The gender gap shows a cultural gap," said Bruno Cautres, a political analyst at Cevipof, a Paris-based political research center. "France is struggling to catch up with the mentality change in other European countries. Sarkozy had it all in the beginning, women, minorities and women from minorities in minister jobs. The government now reflects how the French mentality has changed, which is very little."
Lagarde is the latest and also the most senior female minister to leave Sarkozy's cabinet. Right after he took office, women controlled the most important ministries, from finance and defense to justice and health. That's no longer the case.
Bigger Role
In an index in the World Economic Forum's October Gender Gap Report, France fell 28 places in one year to number 46 behind Namibia, Mozambique and Kazakhstan.
A rise in the index would require a "higher number of women in leading roles in the current administration and improvements in the wage gap," the report said. Iceland, Norway and Finland lead the index, the U.K. ranks 15 and the U.S. 19.
"During 2008-09, following President Sarkozy's entry into government, there was a highly publicized rise in the number of women holding ministerial positions," the WEF report said, witnessing a "considerable change in proportion" last year.
All major female figures of Sarkozy's team are gone. Rama Yade, a minister of Senegalese origin who held first the human rights and then the Sports portfolios, was ousted in November. Rachida Dati, the former justice minister who is of Arab descent, left in 2009 and Fadela Amara, the junior minister for urban affairs, was fired in 2010. Even the powerful political figure from the governing party, Michele Alliot-Marie, who held the defense, interior, justice and then the foreign affairs ministries, was pushed out in February.
'Less Testoterone'
"It's a pity there no longer is a woman in one of the main ministries, interior, justice, defense or economy," said Chantal Brunel, a lawmaker from Sarkozy's Union for a Popular Movement party. "In terms of gender equality, this cabinet shuffle makes no progress; rather it's a slight step backward."
Shortly before her IMF appointment was made public, Lagarde said she would like to see a woman take over her finance minister job.
"Of course I'd like to see a woman in my job, I am for more women! But it's the president who decides," she told Bloomberg News on the side of a presidential press conference on June 27 in Paris. On ABC News in October, Lagarde famously said that women "inject less testosterone in the equation."
Sarkozy's gender record took another hit when this month he replaced Anne Lauvergeon, the chief executive officer of the state-controlled nuclear reactor builder Areva SA, with her deputy Luc Oursel.
Missed Opportunity
Not one of the companies that make up the country's benchmark CAC 40 stock index has a female CEO. That puts France behind the U.K., with a February report by the Cranfield University School of Management showing that five women hold CEO positions among the FTSE 100 companies.
Granted, Sarkozy's record is no worse than that of his predecessor Jacques Chirac. Former Prime Minister Lionel Jospin's government was the last with women comprising more than 30 percent. France's most senior woman politician was Edith Cresson, who was premier for less than a year from 1991 to 1992.
"You can't judge the government's record at this one moment," said Sarkozy's spokesman, Franck Louvrier. "On the whole, the government has done a lot for women. Never have women been given so much responsibility. Gender parity is difficult to measure. What matters is giving women responsibility."
Little to Show
Most high-profile jobs in state-held or government- controlled companies have gone to men since 2007. Only the head of Arte public television is a woman. Two out of Sarkozy's 15 closest aides at the Elysee presidential palace are women, and only nine women work in the 51-strong presidential cabinet.
Politicians of Sarkozy's UMP party, including lawmaker Francoise Guegot, handed him a report on March 7 demanding that the state impose a minimum of 40 percent of females for top administration jobs by 2015 and in 2017 for ministers, prefects, rectors and ambassadors.
While 51.7 percent of French civil servants are women, only 20.3 percent of them hold managerial positions, Guegot said, with 10 percent of prefects and 11 percent of ambassadors. France's lower chamber of Parliament has 19.6 percent of women and the Senate 23.5 percent, putting France at the 19th level in European ranking and 58th worldwide.
As Sarkozy starts informally campaigning for the 2012 presidential elections, he may lay out his record on the economic, educational, industrial and international fronts. He will have less to say about his gender-equality achievements.
"When the time comes to show what he has done for women, Sarkozy will have little to say," Cautres said. "He has missed a great opportunity for himself but also to modernize the elites of the country."

|1.What is the difference between freezing rain, snow, sleet, and rain?
|2. What is the difference between a blizzard, snow flurries, snow showers, blowing snow, and a snow squall?
|3. What is lake effect snow?
|4. What is thundersnow?
|5. What is wind chill and how dangerous is it?
1. The difference is where the precipitation freezes as it falls to the ground. If the temperature if above freezing (32 degrees Farenheit) all the way to the ground, it will rain. On the contrary, if the temperature is freezing all the way to the ground, it will snow. For sleet, the temperature in the cloud is above freezing but below freezing from the cloud to the ground, so ice pellets fall. Freezing rain also has above freezing cloud temperature, but this relatively warm layer extends almost to the ground, where the temperature switches to subfreezing, causing the rain to freeze after hitting the ground.
For more information: Winter Precipitation types
|2. Flurries: Light snow for brief period of time, little to no accumulation.
|Showers: Similar to rain showers, varying snowfall rates over short periods of time, accumulation possible.
|Blizzard: Winds 35mph or greater, while snowing, blowing snow, making visibility near zero.
|Blowing Snow: Snow that is blown by the wind, resulting in small to large drifts and near-zero visibility
|Snow Squall: Brief, intesne snowfall with strong wind gusts and possibly high accumulation. Occur mainly in Great Lakes region.
3. Lake-effect snow is localized, convective, potentially heavy, snow bands that occur on the downwind (lee side) of a lake when a colder air mass flows over the relatively warmer lake water. There are different types of lake-effect snow depending on the conditions and the set up of the band. These types are classified based off the radar signature. Lake-enhanced snow is different from lake-effect as it is part of an already present system, but the proximity of the lake augments any snowfall. Both occur most notabley over the Great Lakes on their southern and eastern shores.
4. Thundersnow is a snowstorm that has lightning and thunder associated with it, much like a thunderstorm. Thundersnow is a rare phenomenon because the same mechanisms that cause lightning in summertime thunderstorms are not as present in the winter. The winter-time atmosphere is generally stable, which does not allow for the charge seperation needed for lightning to occur. Thundersnow is most common with lake-effect snow due to it being convective in nature, but can occur with strong systems as well.
5. Wind chill is the apparent temperature that is felt when the wind speed is added into the temperature. The faster the wind, the quicker heat is transported away from your body. The faster the wind speed and lower the temperature, the greater the wind chill is. The danger from wind chill is presented mainly on bare skin as the colder the wind chill, the quicker frostbite can occur. When going outside during a wind chill warning, take care to cover as much exposed skin as possible to prevent frostbite.
