Q. How do I provide an official verification of my Indiana RN or LPN license to another state board of nursing?
Out of State Verifications - This is the verification of an Indiana license to another state. It is an official statement of the basis of licensure and includes the licensee's name, profession, license number, licensure status, professional examination results and any other conditions or restrictions on the license. The verifications for LPN and RN licenses will be issued only through the www.nursys.com verification process, provided by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
Verifications of Advanced Practice Nurse Prescriptive Authority are not currently available through NURSYS; these licenses must be verified using the Professional Licensing Agency's Online Digital Certification process www.in.gov/pla/verify.htm.
Q. When will I receive my license card?
The Indiana State Board of Nursing no longer issues any pocket licenses or wall certificates as part of the initial licensure or renewal process. The current status of your license should always be verified in real-time with our online status verification service. https://mylicense.in.gov/everification/Search.aspx.
A pocket card or wall certificate is not considered proof of active licensure. If you would like a pocket license or wall certificate as physical documentation of your license, they are available for purchase through the Professional Licensing Agency's web site
To Purchase a License Card, please visit www.in.gov/pla/3120.htm.
Q. I lost my license or my license was stolen. How do I get another?

Q. How do I change my name on my nursing license?
Name Change - You may have the name changed on your licensure records by submitting a copy of an official name change document such as a marriage certificate or a divorce decree. A copy of a social security card will NOT be accepted. Please send the information to the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency – Board of Nursing at 402 West Washington Street, Room W072, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204. Your letter should include your name as it is listed now, your new name, your license number, professions, social security number, and date of birth.
If you would like a replacement pocket card reflecting your name change, you may purchase one online at www.in.gov/pla/3120.htm.
Q. I am not going to practice nursing for a while. Can I make my license inactive?
Indiana does not have an inactive status. You may either continue to renew the license or allow it to lapse to expired status. If your license expires and you choose to renew it after it has been expired more than 3 years the board may require additional measures to renew your license at that time.
Q. Is Indiana a part of the nurse licensure compact state agreement?
Indiana is not currently a compact state.
Q. When will I receive my authorization to test so that I can schedule my NCLEX examination?
First, you will need to submit your application for licensure by examination for review to the board of nursing. Please allow at least two to four weeks for the review of your application to occur before contacting the board for the status of your application. Processing time will vary for each applicant due to many internal factors which occur during the review of your file. Please be patient and the board will contact you within a few weeks of receipt of your application if additional items are required. This is especially important during the months of May, June, September, October, November and December as we are processing high volumes of applications as well as license renewals in a short period of time. Excessive inquiries about the status of your application only hinders our staff's ability to process them as quickly as possible.
Q. How long after I take my NCLEX examination before I find out if I passed and will be issued a license?
The processing of examination results for each applicant will vary and can take at least three (3) weeks to complete from the date the candidate was administered the examination. Successful candidates who have met all the other application requirements for licensure will receive an e-mail from the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency with a license number. Unsuccessful candidates will receive a notification letter and an application to retake the examination. EXAMINATION RESULTS ARE NOT GIVEN OUT VIA TELEPHONE OR E-MAIL. Excessive inquiries about results only hinders our staff's ability to process them as quickly as possible. New licenses can be verified on the internet via Access Indiana at www.in.gov/pla.
Q. What happens if I do not pass my NCLEX examination?
Unsuccessful candidates will receive a notification letter and a repeat exam application. Please note that after three (3) exam failures, you will have to appear before the Board in order to obtain authorization to test again. You will receive notification from our Compliance office if you must make this appearance.
Q. I forgot my nursing license number, how can I look it up on your website?
Visit our website at www.pla.in.gov
Online services
Search and Verify License: www.in.gov/pla/3119.htm
Insert your first and last name in the appropriate fields.
Q. What is the scope of practice for nurses in Indiana?
The Indiana State Board of Nursing does not issue advisory opinions, and the only guidance it formally offers regarding scope of practice questions is to refer questions to Indiana's statutes and administrative rules regarding the practice of nursing. These rules and statutes are available in compilation form on the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency website at: www.in.gov/pla/2497.htm.
Indiana's Nurse Practice Act was written to be intentionally broad and general so that as new skills and procedures become part of standard nursing practice, the laws maintain their relevance and applicability. Basically, each nurse licensed in Indiana is responsible for ensuring that he or she is adequately prepared, competent, and qualified to perform any particular skill or procedure that is utilized. In a sense, the nursing profession itself actually determines the scope of practice. For a particular skill or procedure, some relevant points to consider would be what other nurses and other facilities are doing with regards to that skill or procedure. Another point to consider is whether there is a well-developed system for ensuring that those performing a given skill or procedure have the adequate training and support to ensure consistent, safe and competent delivery of that skill or procedure.
For additional information, you may want to discuss particular procedures with peers in the nursing profession as represented by the Indiana State Nurses Association or other professional nursing organizations specific to your practice specialty.
Q. Where do I locate the Indiana nursing Statutes and Rules?
Please visit our website at: www.pla.in.gov.
From the home page select: Professions
Next screen select: Nursing
Next screen select: Statutes and Rules
Then just open the link Indiana Nursing Licensure Laws and Regulations, a Compilation from the Indiana Code and Indiana Administrative Code: http://in.gov/pla/files/ISBN_2014_Edition(1).pdf.
Q. How do I find out if a school has an accredited nursing program?
All of the nursing programs approved for the NCLEX RN or NCLEX LPN examination are listed in the NCLEX bulletin.
The NCLEX bulletin may only be accessed at www.ncsbn.org.
Q. How do I pay my NCLEX examination fee?
The NCLEX bulletin may be accessed at www.ncsbn.org.
The bulletin explains the different options for paying your NCLEX examination fee.
Q. What is the procedure if I have a "yes" response on my renewal?
IF YOU ANSWERED "YES" to any of the renewal questions, you must provide a statement that explains all the related details, including the violation, location, date, and disposition. Letters from Attorneys, insurance companies and/or court documents are not acceptable in lieu of your statement but they may be included with your statement. Be sure to write your name and license number on all documents submitted with your renewal. Failure to truthfully answer the required questions or to provide a written statement regarding "yes" responses may subject your license to disciplinary action imposed by the Nursing Board, including probation, suspension, denial of renewal application, and fines of up to $1000 per violation.

Lately I've been trying out some of the makeup that sits unused in my bathroom. When it comes to cosmetics, I'm a pretty simple girl—my main concern is covering my uneven skin tone. My last experiment was with a bright red shade of Chanel lipstick, which went shockingly well and Coco has made a few more appearances since that evening. But red lips are pretty standard, so for my next challenge I took on something a bit more bold—electric blue eyeshadow. Keep reading »

[1479] Hypertension-Associated Nephrosclerosis: Does the Activation of Parietal Epithelial Cells (PECs) Differ between African Americans and Caucasians?
M Olatokunboh Odubanjo, Bart Smeets, Marcus J Moeller, Agnes B Fogo. Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN; University Hospital of RWTH, Aachen University, Germany
Background: Loss of podocytes is critical for progressive glomerulosclerosis. Parietal epithelial cells (PECs) may act as stem cells that replenish podocytes. Our aim was to determine the extent to which PECs are activated following hypertension-associated injury in African Americans (AA) and Caucasians (C).
Design: Activated PECs were identified by CD44 staining. We scored activated PECs in anatomical parietal and podocyte locations in glomeruli without lesions and glomeruli with segmental sclerosis (SS) and/or adhesions, and the total number of activated PECs was quantified for globally sclerosed (GS) glomeruli.
Results: A total of 352 glomeruli from 31 biopsies were analyzed. 209 glomeruli showed no lesions (50 AA, 159 C), 110 (73 AA, 37 C) showed global sclerosis, 12 (9 AA, 3 C) showed SS and/or adhesions, 19 (10 AA, 9 C) showed periglomerular fibrosis, and 2 (both AA) showed extracapillary proliferation with no GBM breaks or fibrinoid necrosis. The distribution of glomerular lesions differed between AA and C, with glomeruli without lesions being more commonly seen in C, and GS and SS being more common in AA.
Activated PECs were detected in 21 glomeruli, 14 AA and 7 C (8 glomeruli without lesions: 5 AA and 3 C; 4 with GS: 3 AA and 1 C; 4 with SS and or adhesions: all AA; 3 with periglomerular fibrosis: all C; and 2 with extracapillary proliferation: both AA).
There was an average of 7.2 CD44+ cells in parietal location/ glomerulus in AA versus 1.7/ glomerulus in C.
In 4 of the 12 glomeruli with SS and/or adhesions, CD44+ cells were most common in a parietal location and more commonly, away from the lesion than adjacent to the lesion (4 glomeruli, on average 7.25/glomerulus, 6 in parietal location (1 in the lesion and 5 in the non-lesion area) and 1.25 in podocyte location (P value < 0.001 for lesion versus non-lesion area).
Conclusions: Activated PECs were present more commonly in AA than C, even in glomeruli without sclerosing lesions. This supports the possibility that abnormalities in the differentiation and regulation of the glomerular epithelial cell population could contribute to the pathogenesis of the glomerular scarring in arterionephrosclerosis. Whether these activated PECs contribute to sclerosis or represent regenerative repair responses awaits further study.

We recently purchased a chair (and a sectional) from Bassett Furniture. It was quite a pricey purchase (compared to previous furniture purchases) but we were under the impression that we were choosing quality and the price would be worth it. We chose fabrics for it and it arrived on time. The chair has wood arms and we chose it for both it's aesthetics, function (a recliner that doesn't look like one) and comfort. We *love* the look. But the arms are chipping at the slightest bump. It now has 3 scratches/dents because of random bumps. Certainly those should not have been significant enough to cause this level of damage (one was a plastic ring my daughter was wearing, one was an ipad that bumped the corner and I have no idea where the third nick came from). I am nervous to think about what this chair will look like in a year if it has these marks after 3-4 short weeks. I have tried 2 types/colors/brands of stain pen to try to fix the marks. They are not dark enough or thick enough to truly hide the marks. Does anyone have a recommendation of a thick, dark stain pen? Has anyone dealt with Bassett Furniture regarding issues such as this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Manufacturers at this price point is cutting every dollar they can to save costs. Most likely the arms are not made from any type of real hardwood. For the deeper dents or scratches, try "TimberMate" its a woodfiller that can be stained to match the color of the original finish. But you should file a complaint with the retailer you purchased the chair from, as im sure your not the only one thats experiencing these issues. |

Ugh! I am sorry for you! Bassett furniture is the absolute worst! My husband and I attempted to buy a bedroom furniture set from them that was on clearance. Because it was on clearance we had different pieces of the set coming from different stores. After waiting a few months we only had one dresser sitting in our home and were told they no longer had our other pieces. Well, what can we do with one dresser? We want a matching set. So we call and say we want to return it. After a few months of going back and forth with Bassett over this (they told us over and over they would not return the one dresser) we ended up loading the dresser in the back of our pick up and driving an hour and a half to the Bassett store. We wheeled it in there and my husband argued with the manager for half an hour and could not agree with the man. Ultimately my husband left the dresser in the store and called Visa to get his money back. Through Visa we were awarded the money back. So, you could always load up the chair and call Visa! It's really not fair that they treat customers so poorly. We were very disappointed with that one dresser we had. The drawers didn't even open more than halfway. |

Brown's administration filed a request with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy seeking to delay the order forcing the state to immediately take steps to further reduce its prison population.
If Kennedy agrees, it will push back the releases for a year while the Supreme Court considers the state's appeal.
If he refuses to intervene, the state has said it will begin freeing inmates to comply with the lower court order, which is intended to improve care for sick and mentally ill inmates.
That will cause irreparable harm to public safety because the inmates cannot be returned to prison if the nation's high court eventually rules in the state's favor, the administration said in its 142-page court filing.
It will "thrust serious and violent individuals on the counties" that already are struggling to absorb thousands of lower-level offenders, the state said.
Kennedy oversees appeals from western states. He is a Republican appointee who sided with the court's four Democratic-appointed justices in 2011 to cast the deciding vote requiring the state to reduce its prison population to about 110,000 inmates.
Attorneys representing inmates and the three judges who entered the original order say further delay will lead to more deaths and injuries for inmates in crowded prisons.
Corrections Secretary Jeffrey Beard said conditions have changed dramatically since the lower court's original order in 2009.
What once was the nation's largest state prison population has shed more than 46,000 inmates since 2006, most of them under a 2-year-old state law that is sentencing lower-level criminals to county jails instead of state prisons.
"It will force us into (releasing) serious and violent offenders because we just don't have all of these less serious, nonviolent offenders in the system anymore," Beard said in an interview Wednesday.
The inmate reduction fell short of the level set by the lower court and upheld by Supreme Court.
The lower court last month ordered state officials to expand good-time credits leading to early release as well as other steps Brown said he could reluctantly take. Those include sending more inmates to firefighting camps, paroling elderly felons, leasing cells at county jails and delay bringing back thousands of inmates now housed in private prisons in other states.

Like pretty much everyone else, I love Lucky Green. It goes on smoothly and evenly. The color is such a pretty, soft green with gold-yellow shimmer tones. My only complaint is that it isn't quite as pigmented as I would like. Overall this is a great shadow@
Lucky Green is a yellow-toned spring green with pearl. The veluxe pearl formula goes on smoothly and does not flake. This is a LE eyeshadow packaged in a metallic bronze flip top pot. It's very cute. Lucky Green is one of my favourite summer eye shadows. I like to pair it with Stila Oasis.

such a beautiful color. I bought 4 backups, I suggest you guys finding as many as you can.
Lucky Green is an amazing green/gold veluxe pearl finish. Being a MAC veluxe pearl finished eyeshadow, it applies smoothly and evently with great pigmentation, and blends effortlessly. Normally I look horrible with greens, I've tried almost all the greens out there and they just wouldn't work. Lucky green "luckily" ;D works so well with my skintone (Bare Minerals #2, Light) It's similar to MAC Chartreuse Pigment, but Chartreuse isn't eyesafe, and Lucky Green has more of a golden undertone. It looks fabulous paired with Coco Beach Pigment, and Era. It's definately a unique green, and a 'one-of-a-kind' shade.
It took me quite a while to find this eyeshadow as it was sold out in almost every MAC store and counter considering it was LE. If it wasn't I would definately repurchase again. continued >>
I really love this eyeshadow color. I got really lucky by being able to buy it regular priced at the store. I love wearing this color it really makes my eyes stand out. It shows vibrant on me which is a plus. I really like the texture of this eyeshadow. I wish I would of bought another one for backup. :D

I LOVE this shadow. The color is amazing. I don't understand people willing to pay like $30 for it because I wouldn't spend that much but the color is a very unique green with a gold tint. Just beautiful. And you gotta love the pretty bronze case it comes in! :-D

This is the best green eyeshadow of all of MAC's that I have tried. It is LE, but is lovely! Blends so well, and looks great as a wash, in the crease, or as a liner. Also looks lovely all over lid with Leisuretime as a liner on lash and waterline.
Another incredible green from MAC. It's a beautiful medium green with some gold sheen that looks amazing with Juxt and/or Humid. I love wearing greens cos they look good with dark brown eyes I think. And it's a veluxe pearl which makes it even better. Shame it was LE with Belle Azure =( Could this be the new Parrot?

A friend found a stray male intact cat that was tested FIV positive. She has other cats and cannot keep this cat. After much research, the vets and University can't come up with any conclusion as to whether it would have to be an only cat. She is looking for a shelter or rescue or people who foster FIV positive cats. Is there such a place in Oklahoma? |

This is my new favorite hair product. It mentions on the back "shape memory," and this is the only product I've tried that I think really fits that description. I apply on damp hair, and all I have to do is blow-dry -- no other tools or sprays or anything -- and my hair retains its shape all day. I use some other Pureology products, but this is the one I depend on to keep my style looking right all day in hot, steamy Florida.

text: If chocolate is melted slowly enough it doesn't have to be re-tempered. A microwave works great for this. First, chop the chocolate into small bits and place in a glass bowl. Microwave on 50 percent power for no more than 20 seconds at a time and stir the chocolate well after each time. When the chocolate starts to melt, cut the time down to 15 seconds at a time. Br sure to stir the chocolate well after each time. When the chocolate is mostly melted except for just a few unmelted bits do not place it back in the microwave. Just keep stirring and let the residual heat finish melting the chocolate the rest of the way. The key to this method is to not let the chocolate get too warm. If the temperature of the melted chocolate goes above 90°F it will have to be re-tempered.

what's in a lemon drop? |

Here is the receipe I have for a lemon drop: Glass: Cocktail - Chilled In Mixing Glass With Ice Add: Shake & Strain into chilled cocktail glass I have seen bartenders make them several different ways though, many make it as a shooter. Another variation I was taught: Drink this one like the old Tequila shots. Lick your hand between the thumb and forefinger, sprinkle it with the suger. Lick the suger off your hand, slam the shot of vodka back and bite the lemon. Wow.... |
thank you! sounds delicious! |
- Posted by lisa(firstname.lastname@example.com) onMon, Nov 5, 01 at 21:57
My wifes favorite (when you can get her at just the right moment) as described above .... Sugar,then Vodka, and a lemon wedge,. Funny as all get out... The remainder of the recipe is as follows: Repeat for desired effect Place into bed Wake next morning Administer Aspirin LEAVE ALONE !!!!! DO NOT REPEAT (Except the previous step until done) |

It started when I was 11 years old. I was flipping through the very first Seventeen magazine my mom ever let me have (June 1996 — Liv Tyler was on the cover, if you must know) and I saw one of those "hot guy" features. You know those "hot guy" features: A collage of very different, but still traditionally attractive actors and musicians. Conventional wisdom says there has to be at least one that strikes your fancy if you are a girl with heterosexual inclinations. (Otherwise, you can spend more time on the Liv Tyler profile.)
Anyway, I remember flipping through it and not being particularly struck by Johnny Depp or Edward Furlong or Jakob Dylan. I mean, I got that they were cute. I understood that women wanted to date them. They just didn't speak to tween me.
Then, I turned the page and spotted a young Brad Renfro. He had greasy, tawny hair parted down the middle and he had such a direct gaze, that I truly thought he was staring me down. I immediately felt my first ever rush of sexual desire and developed my first all-consuming celebrity crush. Keep reading »

The Methodist Hospitals recently concluded its first food drive, collecting nearly 1,000 pounds of food for the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana.
The food drive was kicked off by employees during Hospital Week earlier this year.
Employees from all Methodist Hospital campuses and off-sites donated nonperishable food items as a way to give back to their community and to help combat hunger within the Northwest Indiana region, especially during our current economic challenges.
"I commend our employees for coming together during Hospital Week to give back to our community. This is truly a reflection of the 'New Spirit' of Methodist," said Ian McFadden, CEO of Methodist Hospitals.
Angelina Williams, executive director of the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana, stated, "During these tough economic times, the support from wonderful organizations such as Methodist Hospital truly makes a difference. The food collected from the annual food drive will help stock the shelves of local pantries."
Individuals interested in donating are encouraged to contact the Food Bank at (219) 980-1777

hi, I have some questions about bush champion cucumber.
First of all how big do they actually get? How many can I plant per square? The SFG book says two cuckes per square for big kinds ( not a chance IMHO) the seed pack says 36" apart but thats if you don't trellis them. On a trellis could I do 1 per SF? How much do they produce? I've seen estimates that range from 2 cukes to 5 dozen. If I have insect atttracting flowers and try to had polinate how many fruit can I expect? do they really produce in ~ 58 days? how many weeks before transplanting do I need to start the seeds? I've seen a range saying between 6-2 weeks. does anyone have any vegtable pics? I know its completly unrealated to the rest of my post but I need something to dream about before my peas come up. Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't have any experience with that variety of cuke, I've always grown the vining kind. They always produce alot. For melons, cukes, and squash, 2 wks. before is usually enough, since they grow so fast. As for pics, go to Webshots and search for veggies, garden, or whatever. You'll find tons of pics to inspire. I sure did. |
- Posted by anniesgranny 6b (My Page) on Fri, Mar 6, 09 at 16:22
I planted Spacemaster, which is probably similar. They will easily go one per sf...I grew mine in containers that were about 12", and I tied them up as they grew. The cukes were very good, and quite large. Granny |
Here is a link that might be useful: Annie's Kitchen Garden
I grew bush cucumbers last year and the two vines were both about 4' long. I grew them 1/sf and they seemed fine. I got about 1 1/2 dozen from each vine. They were pretty productive. I would get two or three, then get a couple more, then a couple more. They seemed to fill in one after another. I didn't have to hand pollinate mine. They did it just fine themselves. We only got about 3 dozen max from the two vines and it was STILL too much for our family, lol. I like cucumbers just in and of themselves, but two a day is a fine amount for a small family. |

"By publishing the liberal ravings of a retired English teacher who supports his assertions with bogus data from liberal rags barely one week apart, advocating the reelection of Barack Hussein Obama and gun control, I must conclude that the EV Tribune supports socialism and a defenseless citizenry. For his information, it is already illegal to transport firearms across the border into Mexico, except for the Feds. Governor Jan Brewer and other Arizona politicians are not afraid of the NRA, they are implementing the wishes of the citizens of Arizona."

Why should the color or lack of color of a person's skin give them precedence over another equally or less-equally qualified applicant? America was founded as a 'meritocracy'. Every man and woman being equal irregardless of ethnicity, wealth, and religion. Let's get back to an applicant's qualifications as the sole reason for admission."
"I would like to commend your paper for covering the High School Sports program. Since there are quite a few kids that are not involved in sports but are in the Arts (Band, Chorus and Plays), I would appreciate some coverage of those items. Maybe you could give the Arts programs one column to list all the plays and events that the community could go to. The plays we have gone to have been quite good, it is just hard to know when to look for them at each individual high school."

This mission of this site is to tell the story of hundreds of people who worked at the United States Naval Computing Machine Laboratory, a top secret project in Dayton during World War Two. These people kept their secret for over fifty years.
This site originates with and is maintained by Debbie Anderson in Dayton, Ohio. I am grateful to the Archive Center at Dayton History, the Wenger Command Display in Pensacola, Florida, friends at the NSA Cryptologic History Center and the National Cryptologic Museum, and the many veterans–WAVES and sailors– who have been so generous over the years for a share of the photographs presented here.
This site is an outgrowth of my own efforts to learn more about this story and a desire to share what I have learned — I ask that visitors bear this in mind when links or pages disappear or become mangled in the vagaries of Php and generated code.
Thanks for learning about a part of Dayton's, and the nation's, history.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Beijing? The question then is, is this only a localized issue that one
or two politicians are gaining from? or does this have wider
if it becomes an issue that is beneficial to both sides - the Dems and
Republicans - then it will become part of the congressional and
presidential elections. I'm trying to work out if the China issue will
gain traction...

Senators court 2012 voters with China currency bill
(Reuters) - For lawmakers eyeing their re-election prospects next year,
this week provides a chance to show they mean business about cracking
down on China's currency practices and returning jobs to America.
Critics say the legislation that looks set to pass Senate this week is
more likely to help a factory worker in Hanoi than in Ohio, and could
expose the United States to a damaging trade row with its
fastest-growing export market.
But those arguments don't wash with Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat
from the manufacturing heartland of Ohio.
He recounts U.S. warnings to China going back to the 1990s, when
Congress fought annually over trade relations.
"That was back when our trade defict with China was $10 billion. Now
it's $200 billion plus. This will help to level the playing field. China
gaming the currency system has clearly undercut our ability to compete
in many things," Brown said.
"We have not been aggressive enough with China. I think it's cost a lot
of people a middle-class standard of living in my state. It's caused too
many teachers and firefighters and police officers to be laid off, when
plants are closed and there's no money to pay them," Brown said.
Jobs are such a hot topic in early 2012 campaigning that prospects for
the China currency bill to pass Congress could be stronger than in
previous years, potentially putting President Barack Obama on the spot
over whether to veto it.
Obama carried Ohio, a union-heavy state where concerns about trade
resonate, in the 2008 election after it went for Republican George W.
Bush in the two previous contests.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney put China centerstage of
the campaign this month when he promised he would "clamp down on China
when they cheat."
The legislation probably would raise duties on only a small portion of
imports from China, which totaled about $365 billion last year, far more
than from any other supplier.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated a similar bill passed last
year by the House, but not the Senate, would collect only about $125
million in duties over 10 years based on expectations that few goods
would qualify for the relief.
But every attempt by U.S. lawmakers to hit China for its trade practices
is hugely sensitive for Beijing.
"The race for the U.S. presidential election has heightened, and the
yuan exchange rate is now a target again," official news agency Xinhua
said in a commentary on Sunday.
It slammed the claims of the bill's supporters as "expedient and
Many in the United States agree.
"It is very easy to say that China is the bogeyman," said Doug Guthrie,
dean of business at George Washington University. He said the bill would
do little to help U.S. jobs and would raise U.S. import costs, but said
it might yet pass.
"The sad thing is that even though Obama gets that, he is afraid of
these political people" in the White House who might recommend he sign
it to win votes, said Guthrie.
The Senate legislation is expected to clear its first hurdle, a
procedural vote, late on Monday, setting the stage for as much as a week
of debate on the measure.
"I believe once it passes the Senate it's going to be hard for the House
to block it so I am optimistic this bill can reach the president's
desk," said Sen. Charles Schumer, a long-standing critic of China, told
reporters on Friday.
If the bill passed the Democrat-controlled Senate, it then goes to the
House of Representatives which is run by the Republicans. They are
traditionally less supportive of measures to crack down on trade. But
that may be changing.
Last year, 99 Republicans voted for similar legislation. This year,
supporters already have more than 200 co-sponsors for the bill and
expect this week to reach 218, the amount needed for approval if House
Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor allow a vote.
Boehner's office has declined to say if Republicans, under pressure to
drop their opposition to the bill, could change their mind and bring it
to the floor.
At the heart of the legislation is a claim that China's currency is
deliberately undervalued, giving Chinese companies an unfair price
advantage in international trade.
John Frisbie, president of the U.S.-China Business Council, which
represents American companies that do business in China and have the
most to lose from increased friction on the trade front, concedes
China's currency is probably undervalued. But he notes that it has risen
about 30 percent since 2005.
In that time period, the United States has continued to lose
manufacturing jobs, raising the question of whether a strong revaluing
of the yuan would help save U.S. jobs.
The Senate bill is the wrong approach because most of the goods the
United States imports from China are no longer made by U.S. industry,
Frisbie said.
Nicholas Lardy, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for
International Economics, is also skeptical.
"I've always been of the view that, if the Chinese currency were to
appreciate, we're not going to get those jobs back in the U.S. They will
migrate to Indonesia or Vietnam or Bangladesh perhaps Sub-Saharan
African -- the lowest next lowest cost place," Lardy said.
One big risk for the United States is a potential challenge to any
legislation at the World Trade Organization which experts say Beijing
might win, giving China the right to impose retalliatory measures. Many
businesses fear China would find a way to get back at the United States
even before then.
Obama has not taken a formal position on the bill, prompting one Senate
Republican last week to call on the administration to clearly state its
views before the Senate begins debate on the legislation this week.
Meanwhile, Brown said he is convinced the House will be forced to act
after the Senate vote.
"I know there are lot of freshmen Republicans elected last year that
campaigned on 'stand up to China' and this is their best opportunity to
show it," Brown said.

Daria Werbowy was born in Ukraine in 1983 but she was raised in Canada. She began modeling at the age of 14, but she didn't hit it big right away. She switched agencies a few times and didn't see her career flourish until she was signed by an international agency, IMG. She was originally supposed to make her debut in September 2001, but things didn't go as planned. "I was booked for eight shows which, of course, never happened," says Daria. "Afterwards I tried Paris for six months and that didn't work. I tried London for two months
and that didn't work. So I quit." She decided to go back to New York, and her big break was being in the Prada Fall 2004 ad campaigns. Since then she has landed coveted campaigns with
Chanel, Missoni, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and many more. She is currently the spokesmodel for Lancome Hynose perfume, and you can also find her in the current Hermes ads.

Hana Soukupova is a 24-year-old Czech model. She was born in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic on December 18, 1985. Because of her height (she's 5'11- though some sources say even taller), she played basketball while growing up, but she was signed as a model when she was 14. In 2001, Hana won the Czech Topmodel competition, one of the most prestigious modeling competitions in the Czech Republic. Since then she has appeared in many high-profile campaigns, including Jill Stuart, Carolina Herrera, Escada and Versace. Hana has also been on the cover of nearly a dozen magazines in the last few years.

Natalia Vodianova was born in Gorky (now Nizhni Novgorod), Russia's third largest city. She lived in poor conditions with her mother and two half-sisters. At 15, she moved into her own apartment with a friend. Natalia was enrolled in a modeling agency at this time, and one day she was spotted by a scouting agent from Paris. She was told that she could have a great future in store for her if she could learn English in three months. Determined, Natalia did just that and moved to Paris when she was 17. Soon enough, she was signed by the Viva modeling agency. Many offers followed, including
a Gucci perfume ad campaign.
In 2001, Natalia fell in love with Justin Portman, a British real estate heir. She gave birth to their first son, Lucas, on December 22, 2001. The couple were later married in a lavish ceremony in Saint Petersburg. Natalia was back on the runway in no time, walking in over 30 shows for the fall 2002 season. Later she went on to shoot many campaigns, including Calvin Klein, Chanel, Gucci, Miss Sixty, Alberta Ferretti and countless others.The 5'9 model had her second child, daughter Neva, in March of 2006. But don't think motherhood is going to slow down her career. To date, she has appeared on the cover of nearly 40 magazines. Vogue also named her one of the Best Dressed Originals in their January 2007 issue.

Jessica Stam was born in Canada in 1986. She was discovered in a coffee shop in 2001 by an agent from IMG. Stam's career took off when she appeared on the cover German Vogue, and since then she has graced the cover of countless others. She is a natural redhead, but she dyed it blonde before the spring 2006 shows, where she walked a total of 54 shows. She has been in nearly 30 campaigns; most recently Dior and DKNY.

Lily Donaldson was born on January 27, 1987 in England. She was scouted by Select model agency while shopping in Camden in 2003. In only three short years, Lily has become of the leading models, even scoring a nomination for Best Model at the British Fashion Awards in 2005. She has also landed an impressive number of campaigns including Dior, Chanel, and Roberto Cavalli. With regular appearances in Vogue and a fixture on the runway, Lily is one of the most sought after models in the industry (alongside good friend Gemma Ward, of course).

20-year-old Hilary Rhoda is sure making a splash in the fashion industry. The American hasn't even been around for two years, but has already landed coveted ad campaigns, editorials, and magazine covers. Born in Maryland, Hilary grew up playing all kinds of sports- including field hockey, lacrosse, and tennis. But after graduating high school, she moved to New York to concentrate on modeling.
For her first runway season ever, Spring 2006, Hilary appeared at all the right shows and earned herself a spot on Style.com's Top Ten Models list for that season. Since then, her career has skyrocketed. She has walked for almost every high profile designer and has been on several covers worldwide- including French Vogue, Numéro, Italian Vogue, and W Korea. Most notably, Hilary appeared on American Vogue's May 2007 cover as one of "the world's next top models". She is also one of the most in-demand models for ad campaigns; she has been the face of Donna Karan, Balenciaga, Ralph Lauren, and, most recently, Estee Lauder and Valentino.

Anja Rubik was born in Czestochowa, Poland in 1985. She was first scouted by a Parisian agency while trying out for a local modeling contest and she is now signed with Next Model Management in Paris, London, and New York. Anja has been on the runway since 2000, when she made her debut in Paris, but it wasn't until 2005 that her career started to flourish. In '05, she was named one of Style.com's Top Ten Models, opened for Paco Rabanne, appeared in advertisements for Emanuel Ungaro, Giorgio Armani cosmetics, Jimmy Choo, and Versace, and was on the cover of W Jewelry. 2005 was also the beginning of her 3-year run in Chloé ad campaigns, most recently the new Chloé fragrance ads alongside Clemency Posey and Chloë Sevigny.
After an impressive year in 2005, Anja has proven that she has the longevity that many other models' careers lack. She had equally good years in 2006 and 2007, appearing on the covers of Italian Vogue and Numéro twice, along with a slew of advertisements and editorials. In 2007 she surprised many people by cutting her long hair short after the Fall '07 shows ended. But her new look proved to only help her career, as you can currently see her in advertisements for Chanel eyewear, Dsquared2, Chloé fragrance, Oscar de la Renta and Valentino. To top it all off, Anja is at #5 on Models.com's Top 50 Models, and shows no signs of slipping.

Ali Michael
April 4 2007: In this exclusive interview, Ali Michael talks with The Style Notes about her recent modeling success. Even though Fall 07 was her first runway season ever, 16-year-old Ali has already made a name for herself. Since winning a modeling contest in 2005, she has been featured in Italian Elle and Teen Vogue twice. Her agencies include Viva in Paris, DNA in New York, and Kim Dawson in her hometown of Dallas, Texas. She had quite an impressive first runway season, modeling for top names like Proenza Schouler, Anna Sui, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and even opening the Lanvin show (which, she says, landed her a gig with W magazine). In addition, Style.com has just named Ali one of their top 10 new faces! Keep an eye out for Ali, she's sure to have even more success throughout her career! UPDATE: Ali has also landed a coveted spot on the cover of Teen Vogue! She graced the cover with fellow American teens Chanel Iman and Karlie Kloss. Congrats Ali!
How and when did you first start modeling?
About two years ago, one of my friend's moms suggested that I go into an agency. I went to an open call at Kim Dawson (in Dallas) and was told that they couldn't sign me becuase I had braces, but to enter their model search that they have over the summer and to work on my body in the meantime. In between the time of the open call and the time of the model search, I started researching the industry. I have always been a huge tomboy and was never interested in fashion, but once I started reading magazines and learning about the business, something drew me to it. I got subscriptions to Vogue, W, Italian Vogue (thanks to a Christmas present from my boyfriend,) Teen Vogue, and others and started living on The Fashion Spot. Also, I had worked really hard on changing my body (I used to be so unhealthy and eat only chocolate and fried food and junk-but I just cut all of those things out of my diet) and my braces were about to come off. I ended up winning the model search that year in 2005.
What has been your favorite project so far?
That would be kind of hard to say. I've been able to do a lot of really amazing jobs. One of my favorite projects would definitely have to be going to Tokyo for Teen Vogue. Every time that I've done a job for Teen Vogue they've been amazing. The people that I've worked with there have become great friends of mine and it's always fun to run into them at other jobs and things now. Plus, I never thought that I would ever go to Tokyo in my entire lifetime- let alone at sixteen years old. Another one of my favorite projects would have to be shooting W with Craig McDean. After the Lanvin show, my mom and I went out to a nice dinner before going home the next morning. We were eating our meals when I got a phone call from Viva, my agency, saying that one of the people from W Magazine saw me in Lanvin and that a car was coming to pick me up in ten minutes to go to a studio to shoot W with Craig. I couldn't believe it because the thought of working with Craig seriously blew my mind. I can't really even explain it. The shoot went great and Craig was really amazing to work with.
What are the best and worst aspects of being a model?
I think that there are a lot of really amazing things about being a model. First of all, you get to travel the entire world at such a young age. The things and places that I've seen are just incredible to be able to see when you're sixteen years old. Another thing that I love about being a model is the creative energy that's around you all the time. The fashion industry is one that's always coming up with new ideas and the people in it are really inspiring. The worst part of being a model would have to be being away from home. Being gone has definitely made me appreciate my house and especially my bed! I miss my boyfriend a lot too. We've been together for about two and a half years so being apart is really hard for us.
Your job has taken you all around the world. Do you have a favorite city
that you've been to?
Every city has been so different so it's kind of hard to choose, but New York and London are my favorites. New York just has this really great energy that I love. I can't even explain it. I also have the subway system figured out now so that's a plus! I also think that London has a really cool vibe about it. I was only there for a few days but I love the architecture and the weather and the whole feeling of the city. It's cool.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
When I'm at home, I'm always hanging out with my boyfriend David. He's my best friend and we have a lot of fun together. We're pretty nerdy and like playing video games and stuff like that. I also love music- my favorite band is Radiohead. I rode horses for seven years before I started modeling. I never really ride anymore, but I love being around horses and when I get the chance I love to do it. In New York I like just walking around the city becuase you can always find somewhere interesting to go in or something to do. Right now I'm living in the model apartment, so I hang out here a lot and read or get on the computer. Majority of my time online is spent on Myspace and The Fashion Spot. I'm obsessed with both.
Thanks to Ali for the interview!
Rachel Clark
April 2, 2007: The Style Notes catches up with Rachel Clark, a breakout star during the fall 2007 season. She walked in over a dozen shows, including Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Marni, Dries Van Noten, Moschino, Givenchy, and even opened the Proenza Schouler show. Now with a successful season under her belt, look forward to seeing even more of Rachel in the near future. In this exclusive interview, Rachels talks to The Style Notes about the ups and downs of modeling and her geeky side.
How and when did you first start modeling?
Well first I lost my job working at a video game store, and then a hurricane completely obliterated my apartment (in
What has been your favorite project so far?
Ooh hard one. I just did something for Louis Vuitton that was pretty cool. The shoot was at a chateau in the french countryside, absolutely gorgeous with long rectangular ponds and statues, hidden doors and spiraling marble staircases. It looked like something straight out of a Jane Austen book. There was also something I did in
What are the best and worst aspects of being a model?
The worst aspects I'd have to say are the stereotypes and controversial catagories people automatically associate me with when they learn I'm a model. People will assume I have an eating disorder when I weigh the same that I did when I started -and no one said those things to me then. They'll assume I'm an idiot off the bat, that my interests
revolve around shopping, looking pretty, and being (excuse my french) a bitch. I use the internet a lot so I tend to find a lot of negative, untrue, and hurtful things in forums about a lot of other models. That sort of thing can get really disheartening.
But with the bad comes AWESOME things. The job can be rushed and stressful but at the same time super exciting. Jetsetting from country to country. I see places on a regular basis that my family and friends would kill to see. I meet all sorts of people from all different walks of life. Some of the other models I've met have truly displayed more character and insight in 5 minutes than some people I've known for years. I've gained awesome friends, I can dress crazy, I get cool pictures for myspace. It's a 24/7 career. It teaches you to mature while at the same time lets you
be as young and free-spirited as you want.
What do you like to do in your free time?
First of all I love the internet and video games. I'm obsessed with role playing games like World of Warcraft, Dark Age of Camelot, Ragnarok, Final Fantasy. When I'm at home I mostly just hang out with my roomates and a few close friends and my pets of course. I lay pool/billiards a lot, sing karaoke, play dungeons and dragons every thursday because I'm a total geek. When there's nothing to do I usually take the top off my jeep and cruise along the beach blasting tunes. When I'm away from home I hang out with a few select models and friends I've become close to and when they're not around I prefer staying in and cramming snacks while playing on my laptop.
Who are your favorite designers?
Honestly I didn't know anything about fashion or being fashionable before I became a model; never even looked at magazines. I can spot some awesome things in every designer's collection, but then again I'm one of those people who couldn't tell you what my favorite brands are. Vintage and thrift, that's my handle.
Is there anyone in the fashion industry who you were particularly excited to
I didn't know about anyone in the fashion industry when I started but it was always exciting to meet the different designers; I never knew what to expect and they are quite interesting people. Some of the casting directors that I owe a lot of my growth to were absolutely wonderful people and the agents are awesome. I've been lucky so far to have such nice, fun people to work with.
What do you see yourself doing in 10 years?
Well first I plan on investing what I make from this so that I can either retire or go back to school just because that's good for me, not necessarily for any particular job. When I'm done with this I want to be able to show more for myself and these years than just pictures. I want a stocked bank account and a decent education.
Thanks to Rachel for the interview!
