Have you thought about joining a professional nursing association or are you already a member of one? Nursing associations offer a variety of member benefits including opportunities to network and grow your career through continuing education and conferences.
The Constitution State now has its own chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses, new as of spring 2010!
For Dr. Katherine Jeter, embarking on a 3,100-mile bicycle tour across the Unites States wasn't about the athletic challenge. And it wasn't about proving that she, at 72 years old, simply could. It was about raising awareness for the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurses Society (WOCN).
The ANA proudly presented trailblazing educator, researcher, author and advocate Hattie M. Bessent, EdD, MSN, RN, FAAN with its Hall of Fame Award at the association's 2008 Biennial House of Delegates meeting, held this past summer in Washington, D.C.
During its Annual Awards Banquet held last September in Harrisburg, the Pennsylvania State Nurses Association (PSNA) recognized the exceptional accomplishments of nurses working in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
What do you get when you bring together the National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN), which represents Hispanic and Latino nurses coast to coast, and LatPro.com, the leading jobs/careers Web site for Hispanic and bilingual professionals?

About to launch their own careers, these soon-to-graduate nurses share what led them to nursing and what they hope for the future.
The American Assembly for Men in Nursing profiles the progress of its campaign for a 20% increase in the number of male nurses in the workforce by 2020. Through image marketing, research, and advocacy, male nurses are increasing their presence at the bedside as well as in today's culture.
It was 40 years ago—half a lifetime—that Dr. Lauranne Sams founded the National Black Nurses Association. Today, the NBNA represents 150,000 nurses, a resource for black nurses everywhere.
Her drive, ambition, and determination have led Rowena Elliott to become the first African American president of the American Nephrology Nurses Association. The strength of her leadership qualities and character has made her a memorable nurse educator and role model for minority nursing students everywhere.
The National Student Nurses Association's Breakthrough to Nursing Project encourages culturally diverse students to pursue nursing, and this year marks their 45th anniversary
Dr. Antonia Villarruel, the new president of the National Coalition of Ethnic Minority Nurse Associations (NCEMNA), is proud of the landmark organization's past accomplishments—but she's even more excited about its future
In the mid 20th century, Goldie Brangman became a barrier-breaking trailblazer for equal opportunity in the nurse anesthesia profession. Today, at age 92, she continues to serve as an inspiration to minority CRNAs.
The Philippine Nurses Association of America marks its 30th year of advocacy and activism on behalf of Filipino nurses in the U.S. and around the world
A growing number of specialty nursing associations are not only reaching out to attract a more ethnically, culturally and gender-diverse membership but making sure their new minority members feel welcome enough to stay.
Minority nurses were a constant and powerful presence at the 2002 American Nurses Association (ANA) Biennial Convention, held June 29-July 2 in Philadelphia.
Trust. Without it, our careers and lives lose a solid foundation. Trust is certainly at the forefront of nursing. It's apparent when patients seek medical care in their most vulnerable states, trusting nurses to ease their pain and help them recover.

hi Fixed problems in pkg_postinst(). Hopefully all the major Mozilla headaches will be at a end now, I have tested this, and it seems to work, as Mozilla build fine and i could execute it 'out of the box' as my user. Also note, like I said in earlier posts, Mozilla's root changed from /opt/mozilla to /usr/lib/mozilla, so some packages will need updating ... I will try to get most done later today. Some feedback will be appreciated. Greetings MS

The New and Improved Complex: 1886-1964 |
Photo Home | The Building | Henry | Sprouts | Living | Inhabitants | This new residence was constructed in 1886 after the original complex was deemed "utterly inadequate for human inhabitance." This new home had two stories and an attic that was used for storage, but was off limits to inhabitants. The new complex also sported a number of other buildings designed to house administration and the steward and his family. Some patients in this facility were still confined behind bars, however it was still "above the average county institution." The brick in these buildings was made from clay harvested on the farm by the Oakes Tile Company. |
Farm building |
"The location of these buildings is now largely occupied by the Chatham Oaks county home facility built in 1964." However, some remains of the outbuildings are still visible today. The Old Asylum was eventually converted in to a hog farm and unfortunately, is the only surviving part of the old facility. Even though the patients no longer lived in the original complex, they still farmed the land. To view information about the history of the farm, please click the History key on the sidebar. |

Kahn in Venice
One of the great what-ifs of architectural history is on view at the Italian Cultural Institute in Westwood: a congress center that Louis Kahn designed as a tensile bridge spanning a canal in the Arsenale of Venice. Had it been realized, it might have rivaled the Kimball Museum, the Salk Institute, and the Parliament of Dhaka among his masterworks. But the client was Venice, a museum city dedicated to mass tourism, which prefers mediocre replicas to inspired originals. Kahn died in 1974 before his design was completed, and it joins the Frank Lloyd Wright palazzo of 1953, and Le Corbusier's hospital of 1964, as one of the lost opportunities for La Serenissima to infuse the old with the best of the new. Only now, with Calatrava's footbridge across from the station, and David Chipperfield's extension to the San Michele Cemetery have the Venetian authorities begun, haltingly, to address the present day.

An interesting development coming out of New York as Alex Frolov has publicly voiced his displeasure with his role and ice time with the Rangers. Frolov was quoted telling Russia's Sport-Express that John Tortorella's use of him is "absolutely unacceptable".
Rangers' blog Beyond the Blueshirts offered up a translation of Frolov's interview with the Russian website:
"It's absolutely unacceptable to me that that I spend 7-8 minutes a game on the ice, especially on an energy line. It's just not my game, which I told the coach candidly."
Despite Frolov's stern rejection of his coach's allotment of ice time, he was quick to say there is no beef between he and Tortorella:
"But there are no personal problems between me and him. I'm not a quarrelsome person. Even in our recent conversation there was no swearing or raised voices. Nobody blamed anyone, we simply discussed the situation. The coach promised that soon everything will change, I just need to be a little patient and work harder in practice."
When asked about any difficulties he had adjusting to Tortorella's system, Frolov stated that he had some troubles in the first few games – but that there were fundamental differences from the system he was used to in Los Angeles:
"Torts gives wingers completely different tasks, making them work more on defense. In comparison with the tactics of Los Angeles, where I spent the previous seven seasons, it was very unusual. However I've already adapted now to the new system [and] begun to understand the head coach's requirements. And he seems satisfied with my performance on the ice. Or so he says at least."
Frolov is an interesting case because he's on a one-year deal that pays him $3 million. The Rangers have been surprising this season, despite the lack of production from the guy they hoped would click with Marian Gaborik. If the Rangers are seriously pursuing Brad Richards, then Frolov's cap hit would be an ideal salary to move in order to clear space. Of course, there's the issue of his less than inspired play. Frolov has 5 goals and 11 points in 29 games this season.
In a perfect world for both sides, Frolov would pick up his play and contribute on the offensive end – thus making him a viable option on one of the top two lines, or he'd be attractive enough for another club to inquire on his availability.
Anyway, we'll see how the club responds to Frolov's comments. It wouldn't be surprising to see him get sat down for a game or two – or to the contrary, see the quotes labeled as "taken out of context".

Hi I am new here. Like many others on the board my husband and I are considering selling our stick built home for a manufactured home with some land. Hopefully, we can put enough down from the sale of our home to not have too much to mortgage. I would like it if my husband could retire one day. ha! Anyway, I have looked at SO many different manufacturers and am more confused than ever. Just when I think I have settled on one brand I read something that changes my mind. Has anyone ever bought a home from the Expo FActory in Burleson, Tx? And if so does it really save you money to buy from them vs. the dealer??
They build Champion and Redman I think. Would love to hear if you have a Champion what your thoughts are. Thanks in advance! |

Sorry I don't know anything about Expo but you might do an internet search for Elliot Homes. They manufacture homes in Oklahoma and have a pretty good rep for quality. |

I have a plant that is probably about 5 years old. There is quite a lot of it, all in one 10" azalia pot. It all started with one long leaf, which I cut into 20 pieces 1 1/2" each; 16 of them survived. The plant is now about 3 feet tall and seems very healthy except that the plants are close together and the leaves, especially at the bottom, are quite thin, so that they the leaves don't have proper support. When I moved it from an 8" pot to a 10" pot a year ago it began to spread (at the top) and fall over because of the closeness of the leaves and the fact that the base of the leaves is so thin. Staking it with string or something to hold the planat within the stakes and hold the stakes in place is ugly. I thought about separating the individual plants, but then I read several opinions in this forum that have made me think that will be a mistake. I also read Celia's suggestion of rocks, and I may try that but I'm not sure that this is going to be suffienct to keep these guys from falling over. Can I repot it and raise the soil, burying the plant an inch or three, but I'm thinking that may cause rotting and or some other problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Follow-Up Postings:
I don't like the falling over part. since this plant grows relatively fast, I just cut the droopy leaves off. Those ends die, I pull them out, and that results in more room for new leaves. Repeat process every so many months. On the long sans. this is the only way I can maintain that straight as an arrow look. |

Researcher Corinne Le Quere called this finding "very alarming," as the Southern Ocean accounts for 15 percent of the global carbon sink. Read more at CNN.com.

Bruce advises ignoring these "dwellers" which may be illusory formations generated by "low-level astral wildlife" attracted by the emotion of fear.

According to Nancy Lieder, unbeknownst to us, we've had a photo of Planet X posted on our website, sent in by one of our listeners. She writes of the object situated below the moon, it's "certainly not a lens flare. There's the dust cloud around the corpus. Is the size right? Moon/Venus photos aplenty to compare how big Venus is, to the Moon, but this guy looks about several sizes larger than Venus. Well, that's its size! 4XVenus or Earth size! It's Planet X!!!" Stuart, the person who took the photo posted on our site, responds: I do not know if it was a planet, I'm leaning toward it not being a planet. Reason: It was only in the sky for a few moments before it seemed to dissipate or fade from view. This "sight" of whatever this was could only been seen from about 15 to 20 seconds before it just melted away...or dissolved. My view or knowledge of planets does not lend itself to the opinion that this was a planet, it was too low in the atmosphere and appeared for too sho

Bella By Alethea Medspa & Boutique
Clinical aesthetician Alethea Tinkle and medical director Dr. Jack Cheng operate Bella By Alethea Medspa & Boutique a med spa where clients confront wrinkles and blemishes with everything from laser treatments to organic skincare products. Their signature treatment, the 10-step Refresh laser facial, triple-teams age spots and redness with three medical-grade lasers, which also iron out fine lines and encourage collagen production. The med spa's resident permanent-makeup technician possesses more than 20 years of experience, which she draws on while accenting brows, eye lines, and lips with medical-grade Premier Pigments. During the eyelash-extension service, eye-safe adhesives lock synthetic lid fringe onto natural lashes, granting blinks the power to change weather patterns in Istanbul via the butterfly effect for about three months.
The front desk staff is always very polite and caring. When you walk in, the atmosphere is more like a relaxing spa

Vernal Pool School
Dependent on spring rains and dry summers, vernal pools are a sanctuary for many types of species. Go ankle deep into these ephemeral habits to see developing amphibians and macroinvertebrates up close and discover how these pools help stitch our landscape together. Find tadpoles, tiny spotted salamanders, and fairy shrimp that grow through the spring--safe from hungry fish—and mature just as the pools dry up. Grab your field journal, some boots, and bring a keen sense of adventure as we seek out these hidden pools teeming with life.
June 23 – June 27
5-Day Session: $240 Local / $275 Non-Local
Places Of The Past
Let's go back in time as we ramble around places of the past. Stand in the old foundations of homes and hotels that once stood and imagine the grandeur of MDI long ago. Follow historical trails on outdated maps, visit old cemeteries, and with the help of island historical societies, piece together how we might live differently or similarly to the people who came before us. Trace clues of a railroad that once traveled up and down Cadillac Mountain and unravel mysteries on Bar Island. Enjoy games, painting, and swimming along the way!

Find inspiration in the beauty of the natural world. Create sculptures from found objects, mold clay that we find along streambeds, dye fabric with plant pigments, and weave from nature's fibers.

0Mar 23, '13 by Dstewart1017Quote from julsm14The half online programwhat do you mean by hybrid program?
0Jun 8, '13 by TbknycI'm so happy to have found this thread. I am currently in an MFA program, but my instinct for health care isnt at play. To this, I'm giving serious thought to going into nursing via a direct-entry program. I need a program that is part-time given my other responsibilities. Anyone know of any programs like this, or perhaps have an idea of how to pursue a career in nursing given this constraint? Thanks so much.
0Jun 8, '13 by hi616I'm not aware of any direct entry MSN programs that are offered part time. Many places will allow you to do the NP part of the program part time while you gain RN experience. But I have never seen a program where you can do the RN portion part time. Perhaps there is another route into nursing you can take that allows you to go part time all the way through.

i have 3 childern and i have always put a pillow in the bed with them since they came home from the hospital. Of course i check on them often for the first few days. I did this b/c it made me nervous if they spit up for them to be laying directly on their back and choke. My childern have always been comfortable laying on a pillow. Elevation has always been a big part of saftey for babies. If you r not comfortable putting a pillow in the crib with them you can always put it under the matress and still have the elevation without the danger of a pillow.
Its actually very dangerouse to not elevate a child! The way you do it is up to you!
A pillow as soon as they came home? Please...nobody take this advice!

[unk] there's been so many funny moments [unknown]. We were shooting the 1864 Style. I'm the one who gets to make all the rules, and I was [unknown] and during one of the takes I started running and I turned around to look at them, and tripped over my skirt and veil. And because it's a hoop skirt the entire skirt fell on top of my face. I was sitting there like this, everyone just burst into laughter. Nobody helped me; they were just like laughing at me. They couldn't breathe.
Here's a difference, Stephen would work hard to not have to do mind compulsion on a girl. Damon, after literally 10 minutes, we go we gotta grab her and say, do you want me. And that would be it.
Go see [unknown] help in the kitchen.
You know what, I'm gonna go see if Elena needs some help in the kitchen.
Damon is not lazy, he is just, you know, he's been doing this for 140 [unknown] years, a little over it.
It's saying things and forgetting that your mike is on, saying silly, you know, jokes to your girlfriend, and then hearing like a group of people laugh in the other room.
Stephen, he doesn't have to worry about his skin glistening and he totally has fangs. And I have yet to see this Edward Cullen's fangs. Yeah, let's see them Edward, what do you got?
As if I would even remotely possibly entertain the idea of it being me. Come on. I do-- maybe-- did anyone else? What other hands do you got? Did someone else take their shirt off, I wanna see what people really have to do to get this job. Ian probably just walked into the room with his shirt off.
I was not asked to take my shirt off in the audition. I think all the other boys did. [unknown]. At the end of the day, you know, that's what, you know, that's what you do as an actor. Step and sort of [unknown].
I will love you forever.
You have to kinda think about Stephen's mindset, you know. It's very extreme.
We all are really, really good friends. But we just know that once it's on the page, we come to set, we do our thing. We wanna make it as real as possible and as genuine. And we wanna make everyone fall in love with these characters and believe the love story. That's what it's about. It's about [unknown] undying love.

Sep 17, 2013 8:31 PM by ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A committee of the University of California's governing board has agreed to spend $620,000 toward the multi-million cost of renovating the vacant mansion that has housed five of the system's last seven presidents.
Although the system already has rented accommodations for former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who takes over as UC's president later this month, a Board of Regents committee said Tuesday that it makes sense to explore fixing up the historic Blake House.
Part of the money will be used for study if the three-bedroom, seven-bath house should still be used as the president's official residence, reconfigured for some other purpose or sold off.
The full board still must review the request, which it is scheduled to do on Wednesday.

The Duquesne Coal layer represents another interval of cool and wet climatic conditions that was caused by the advance of polar glaciers. Farther to the west in Pennsylvania, this coal is overlain by marine shale similar to the Ames Limestone. In the Pittsburgh area this fossiliferous layer is called the Birmingham Shale, but in Ohio it is called the Skelly Limestone.

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE:AEO) today reported adjusted earnings of $0.27 per share for the 13 week period ended February 1, 2014, compared to adjusted earnings of $0.55 per share for the 14 week period ended February 2, 2013. GAAP earnings of $0.05 per share include non-GAAP charges of ($0.22) per share, which are outlined in the accompanying GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations. This compares to GAAP earnings of $0.47 per share last year.
The company also announced adjusted earnings of $0.74 per share for the 52 week period ended February 1, 2014, compared to adjusted earnings from continuing operations of $1.39 per share for the 53 week period ended February 2, 2013. GAAP earnings of $0.43 per share include non-GAAP charges of ($0.31) per share, which are outlined in the accompanying GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations. This compares to GAAP earnings from continuing operations of $1.32 per share last year. The EPS figures refer to diluted earnings per share.
Jay Schottenstein, Interim CEO stated, "The Company's results in 2013 were highly disappointing. While tough macro conditions have persisted in our retail sector, our merchandise and overall customer experience fell short of expectations. We're taking steps to bring greater focus and excitement to our product offering and better engage our core customers. Our brands remain incredibly strong and I'm confident in our ability to execute the strategic plan and resume long-term profitable growth."
The following discussion is based on Non-GAAP results, which exclude the adjustments presented in the accompanying GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations.
Fourth Quarter 2013 Non-GAAP Results
Fiscal 2013 Non-GAAP Results
Total merchandise inventories at the end of the fourth quarter declined 12% to $292 million compared to $332 million last year. At cost per foot, inventory decreased 16%, driven by a change in ownership terms. Excluding the change in ownership terms, ending inventory at cost per foot increased in the high single-digits, compared to an 8% decline last year. First quarter 2014 ending inventory at cost per foot is expected to decline in the mid single-digits.
Capital Expenditures
In 2013, capital expenditures totaled $278 million, which was above earlier expectations due in part to the timing of investments in our new distribution center and related systems to support omni-channel. For fiscal 2014, the company expects capital expenditures of approximately $230 million. Nearly half of the capital spending plan is for new and upgraded systems, the completion of the distribution center and omni-channel projects, while the rest relates to store upgrades, as well as factory and international store expansion plans.
Real Estate
In 2013, total square footage increased 5%. The company opened 64 stores, including 39 factory stores, six stores in Mexico and seven stores in China and Hong Kong. The company closed 42 stores, including 29 aerie stand alone locations. For additional fiscal 2013 actual and fiscal 2014 projected real estate information, see the accompanying table.
Cash and Investments
The company ended the quarter with total cash and investments of $429 million compared to $631 million last year.
First Quarter Outlook
Business conditions remain challenging, with severe winter weather contributing to weak demand. Based on a high single-digit decline in comparable sales, management expects first quarter EPS to be approximately breakeven compared to adjusted EPS of $0.18 last year. The guidance excludes potential asset impairment and restructuring charges.
Conference Call and Supplemental Financial Information
Today, management will host a conference call and real time webcast at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. To listen to the call, dial 1-877-407-0789 or internationally dial 1-201-689-8562 or go to http://investors.ae.com to access the webcast and audio replay. Also, a financial results presentation is posted on the company's website.
Non-GAAP Measures
This press release includes information on non-GAAP financial measures ("non-GAAP" or "adjusted"), including earnings per share information and the consolidated results of operations excluding non-GAAP items. These financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The company believes that this non-GAAP information is useful as an additional means for investors to evaluate the company's operating performance, when reviewed in conjunction with the company's GAAP financial statements. These amounts are not determined in accordance with GAAP and therefore, should not be used exclusively in evaluating the company's business and operations.

Dark Souls - Prepare to Die Edition - Review @ PC Gamer
View Single Post
August 29th, 2012, 15:06
Game is a lazy port, but it is old-school gaming heaven - no more single button clicks for thousands of combos; you can parry, block, roll, light and heavy attack (different buttons!), long range weapons and magic, character customization, weapons have different weight and feel, unique enemies and bosses, grim and yet beautiful and artistic backdrops, beautiful music (shame the steam version did not include the soundtrack), good physics, and can not be completed in a weekend.

- KITCHEN @ SPiN
Are your court rates priced per table or per person?
Our court rates are per table, not guest.
How do I go about making a reservation at SPiN?
All guests of SPiN are welcome to book court time in advance at the rate of $60 per table, per hour. Guests who are less concerned with securing court time are welcome to walk-in and pay the "walk-in" rate, however there are no guarantees that courts will be available.
What are your "walk-in" rates?
The "walk-in" price for courts BEFORE 5pm is $20 per table, per hour and $28 per table, per hour AFTER 5pm. Members have the luxury of paying half price on court time (please see membership benefits for more information), therefore the price for members is $10 per table, per hour BEFORE 5pm and $14 per table, per hour AFTER 5pm.
What is a Group Reservation?
A Group Reservation is a reservation consisting of fewer than 30 guests and does not include any pre arranged catering or bar packages. If you would like to make a reservation for more than 30 guests and arrange catering or a bar package please send an email to email@example.com. All Group Reservation inquiries and bookings can be made through firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling the Front Desk at SPiN at 416-599-7746.
When do you recommend reserving court time as opposed to walking in?
Our busiest times are Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights so reservations are definitely recommended. Since we host many events at SPiN, there is a chance that a typically slower time will in fact be very busy. A good rule of thumb is; if you need the security of knowing court time is set aside for you, then book. If you are alright with taking your chances and hanging out at the bar if we're full, then don't book. It's completely up to you!
Can I cancel a reservation?
Guests are welcome to cancel reservations up to 24 hours before its start time. If a guest fails to arrive for their reserved court time, the total court price will be charged to the credit card number taken when securing the reservation.
How far in advance can I book court time?
Guests are welcome to book as far in advance as they would like, however we do reserve the right to reschedule a booking made more that 3 weeks in advance due to the popularity of the club for events. This is not a common occurrence though, and guests will always be notified well in advance. Members have the luxury of booking up to 5 days in advance and simply pay their membership court rates ($10/hr before 5pm and $14/hr after 5pm). Any bookings made by members more than 5 days in advance are priced at $60 per table, per hour.
How many guests can I include in my reservation?
We do not recommend more than 10 people on one court as it tends to become crowded. Guests are always welcome to hang out at the bar if space is limited at your court.
Kitchen @ SPiN
What kind of food do you serve at SPiN?
We have a delicious menu consisting of shared plates and finger foods. Our menu is featured on this site so feel free to check it out!
Can I reserve tables for dining?
There is no formal dining area at SPiN since our menu items are designed to be eaten while guests take a break from ping pong. Guests who have booked court time may eat at one of the small lounge areas beside each court or at one of the picnic benches placed throughout the club. Guests without court time are welcome to dine at the bar or pre-book one of the picnic tables, however space is limited during peak times and cannot be guaranteed.
Do you charge a cover?
There is no cover charge at SPiN.
Is your club wheelchair accessible?
Unfortunately due to the fact that we are located in a century-old building, we are not wheelchair accessible. Our friendly staff would be more than happy to accommodate a guest down our front steps however our bathrooms are not wheelchair accessible and exiting the building during an emergency may be difficult for certain guests.
Are there any age restrictions for guests?
All guests must be of legal drinking age by 9pm in order to remain in the space. Special circumstances (such as events) may allow minors to be wrist-banded however this would need to be arranged in advance in order to notify all staff.
Do you offer coat check at SPiN?
Yes, we offer complimentary coat check.
Is there a dress code at SPiN?
There is no dress code at the club...formal tennis whites and stiletto heels welcome!

On Monday, June 29th in Toledo, a "crowd" of thirty South Korean LPGA players paid a visit to the Ronald McDonald House of NW Ohio. The South Korean player base, which makes up about one-third of international players on Tour, had been searching for a U.S.-based community and charity that they could directly impact to show their support and gratitude for fans and sponsors here in the states. Led by veterans Se Ri Pak and Il Mi Chung, they selected the Ronald McDonald House of NW Ohio, the tournament's primary charity. With the tournament celebrating twenty-five years of commitment to the LPGA, the players couldn't think of a better community in which to reciprocate.
Players including Jiyai Shin, Inbee Park, Jeong Jang and Birdie Kim rolled up their sleeves and participated in a myriad of household chores necessary to keep the volunteer-run Ronald McDonald House operating smoothly. See the attached photo of the players posing for a crazy group shot with Ronald himself. Local TV affiliates were also on hand to catch the action; look for a feature in this week's telecast on ESPN2.
Then on Wednesday, July 1st, several South Korean LPGA players made a special presentation to the Ronald McDonald House of NW Ohio. Following a recent visit to the house, in which thirty South Korean players participated in household activities necessary to keep the house running smoothly, players decided to extend their support with a donation of $13,570. Se Ri Pak, Hee Won Han, Jeong Jang and Inbee Park made the presentation on behalf of all 47 South Korean players on Tour.

Technology Showcase: Fiber Routers and Matrix Switchers
Mar 1, 2008 12:00 PM, Bennett Liles
Fiber takes signal switching further.
The EpicaDG's (Digital Generation) from AMX two primary roles are signal conversion and fiber transmission. By converting the incoming signals into a unified digital platform, the system converts analog and digital video in RGBHV, DVI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI formats for anything-in, anything-out operation. Typically, such equipment can be found in an environment in which both local and long-distance signals need to be intermixed with complete versatility. The EpicaDG accomplishes this by providing configurability including DVI and other native-local-format connections with ports for 12-fiber, multimode MTP cable in 50um/125um or 62.5um/125um sizes. These provide fiber line lengths up to 3000ft. for input and output signals supporting LCD display resolutions up to 1920×1200 and CRT resolutions up to 1600×1200. The rack chassis is also equipped with cable-management bars for secure tie-down. The fiber ports may be custom-configured along with DVI-D modules for local sources with bit rates up to 2.65Gbps and cable equalization up to 50ft. Each of the DVI boards allows up to 16 signal interfaces, and the fiber boards each contain a local-signal DVI connector. The EpicaDG also offers RS-232 control, standard redundant hot-swappable power supplies, advanced system diagnostics, programmable macro functions, TCP/IP control, and free APControl software.
Evertz offers the X-3232-EO electro-optical router in a 2RU frame for switching digital signals up to 3Gbps on 16 electrical and 16 optical inputs and outputs. The optical wavelengths of 1310nm or CWDM are available on the outputs while the inputs will accept any wavelength from 1270nm to 1610nm. The fiber signals attach on SC/PC, ST/PC, and FC/PC connectors. The electrical connections use BNC connectors carrying video, audio, datacom, or telecom signals. In broadcast mode, the unit can send any input to any number of outputs with internal optical-to-electrical and electrical-to-optical conversion. The X-3232-EO is compatible with single-mode and multimode fiber-optic cable, and SNMP remote router control and monitoring is available with the Evertz X-NCP2 control panel or via the Evertz VistaLink software application. VistaLink offers remote terminal-equipment configuration, fiber-module health status and link monitoring, discrete signal monitoring, multiwall-display monitoring, hardware-fault alarms, and configuration change notices. The application also features fault-alarm logging, visual status, and audible alarms to complement email and pager notification, contact closures, and secure access control. The Alarm-event Notification Client allows users to define alarms and set various severities and conditional filters for critical alarms.
The Extron Electronics Fiber Matrix 6400, introduced at InfoComm 07, has brought a new level of versatility to the switching-system market for complete end-to-end digital AV-signal transmission and routing over fiber-optic cable. Expandable from 8×8 up to 64×64, the system is compatible with the Extron Fox 500-series and HD-SDI fiber-optic transmitters and receivers. The Fiber Matrix 6400 supports data rates up to 4.25Gbps for computer-video resolutions up to 1600×1200, DVI-D, and multirate SDI. System monitoring, hot-swappable I/O boards, and redundant hot-swappable power supplies are among the primary features the switchers offer. Built on a rack frame that provides eight card slots, the unit interfaces using LC-style connectors on each eight-port card. The cards come in two versions: The Fiber Matrix I/O Board-MM supports 850nm multimode connections, and the Fiber Matrix I/O Board-SM takes single-mode or multimode fiber at 1310nm. The boards may be used in any combination. Each board's fiber ports exist as a separate input and output, but they can be configured as a linked input/output supporting bidirectional capabilities for a Fox 500-series product. The monitoring system provides self-diagnostics for the I/O boards, fiber links, power supplies, internal fans, and general functions of the switcher. Front-panel LED indicators provide quick verification of signal presence and status.

''There's never going to be a Live Aid II,'' Bob Geldof said Thursday at the Ivor Novello songwriting awards ceremony in London, ''but there's something brewing.'' The Boomtown Rats frontman, along with Ultravox singer Midge Ure, confirmed that they're planning a 20th anniversary follow-up to the rockers-for-Africa benefit concerts they organized in 1985. ''It's big. And it's as petrifying as the build up to Live Aid, if not more so,'' Geldof said, according to the Associated Press. ''We'll have all the biggest names we can find. But it's not just about big names, it's about making a point.''
Rumors of a Live Aid sequel have been appearing for weeks in the British press, who've called the show ''Live 8,'' since it would supposedly take place around the time of the G8 summit in Scotland (July 6-8), when leaders of the world's wealthiest countries will gather to discuss such issues as African poverty and Third World debt relief. The rumors have the show taking place in London's Hyde Park, with a possible same-day show in Washington, D.C., just like the 1985 Live Aid shows, which took place just hours apart in London and Philadelphia. MTV News reports that the Prince's Trust, Prince Charles' charity organization, had canceled its annual Party in the Park concert in Hyde Park on July 3 so as not to conflict with Geldof's effort.

5. Super Hexagon ($3.98)
Minimal avoid 'em up Super Hexagon started a trend of brutally hard games on iOS, lacing them with absurdly addictive gameplay. All you have to do is move left and right to avoid the walls. You'll die — within seconds — again and again, but you won't give up, as the colours swirl and hypnotise.
6. Haze ($3.98)
Haze is a weather app with a difference. Instead of countless facts and figures, you get an animated, colourful screen that displays sun hours, temperature or rainfall for the day. Multiple themes are available to adjust the colours, and tap/pull gestures can be used to display additional information.
7. Rise Alarm Clock ($2.58)
Rise is a minimal alarm, where you drag the timer down the screen to set it. As you do so, the hour updates and the background references the time of day, slowly changing from a deep midnight blue to a cyan-and-yellow midday, moving through pinks and oranges as it does so.
More after the break...
8. Blur ($1.28)
This app only does one thing, but it does it well: blur a picture. You can use the camera or choose from your library, and you then drag the slider to define the blur level. The resulting images make for gorgeous, colourful iOS 7 backgrounds on an iPhone 5C.
9. They Need To Be Fed 2 ($2.58)
We're unsure whether They Need To Be Fed 2 involves an endless supply of amazingly selfless little characters or one hardy masochist, but the aim is to bound to the end of each level and feed yourself to a giant, hungry plant. Each level comprises a number of bouncy mini planets atop simple, colourful backgrounds. Beware the sadistic Epic mode.
10. Figure ($1.28)
Propellerhead Software's Figure compresses all of the company's dance-music smarts into a handful of colourful, vibrant screens. You can set up drum, bass and lead loops in seconds, mixing sounds on-the-fly. Audio masterpieces can be exported via iTunes, copied to AudioCopy or sent to SoundCloud.

East Valley senior citizens attending a town hall meeting Monday on President Bush's plan to revamp Medicare were enthusiastic about the promise of prescription drug benefits, but some said the proposal was too little, too late.
The meeting at Tempe's Pyle Adult Recreation Center attracted about 100 people and was facilitated by Rep. J.D. Hayworth, R-Ariz., and Josefina Carbonell, the assistant secretary for aging at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. They explained and promoted Bush's $400 billion, 10-year plan to reform the Medicare health insurance program for seniors.
The plan would provide a prescription drug discount card for all seniors, a $600 annual drug subsidy for low-income seniors and wider choice of more flexible insurance plans.
Currently, 12 of Arizona's 15 counties have no access to a Medicare HMO.
Attendees broke into applause when Greta Rogers, 73, of Ahwatukee Foothills asked: "I want to know what you are going to do to rein in the prescription drug companies, who are raping the American people from day one until death?"
Rogers pays $178 for three asthma medications, in addition to $89 a month for Medicare and private health insurance. She said she's disgusted with the high cost of prescription drugs, which are less expensive overseas.
"Many elderly people are living on a very, very restricted income. The question becomes, 'Do I buy orange juice this week or pills?' " she said after the meeting. "It's not a question of whether to buy hooch or pills."
Hayworth said he supports a bill to open the U.S. prescription drug market to foreign competition, but said Bush's plan would also drive costs down through bulk purchasing.
Paul Hubbell, 69, of Tempe said the discount card, with its promised discounts of 10 percent to 25 percent, is not enough. Hubbell is suspicious of the plan's hefty price, which he said is bound to decrease benefits.
"The money isn't there," Hubbell said.

If governor signs bill, Griffith may get its chance to leave Cal Twp.
By Matt Mikus email@example.com April 18, 2013 1:46PM
Related Stories
Updated: April 18, 2013 7:54PM
INDIANAPOLIS — Changes to the bill that allows Griffith a chance to leave Calumet Township were approved by the House Thursday.
When House Bill 1585 headed to the Senate, the bill was altered to give the township a chance to reduce its poor relief costs to below 12 times the state average. If they can't reduce their costs in the first year, the state's Distressed Unit Appeals Board will step in to try.
If the state is unable to reduce the costs to 12 times the state average, Griffith is allowed to begin the process of leaving the township.
The House voted largely on party lines, with Democrats calling the move "bad policy."
"This is a terrible precedent for Indiana," said Minority Leader Scott Pelath, Michigan City. "We're saying as a matter of state policy, you can redraw the line so you can keep the poor people away."
The bill is designed for one township, said State Rep. Charlie Brown, D-Gary, but someday it could affect another township. One community should not be allowed to back out of its contribution to government services.
"How terrible is it that a given township can withdraw from the services that they are receiving and join another," Brown said, "All of us are donors at one time. I have no children in the school systems, but my taxes go to the school."
State Rep. Rick Niemeyer, R-Lowell, said he understands the bill targets one community, but it's been a problem building for years.
"This is not something that came up overnight," Niemeyer said, "They've been trying to take care of the problem, but nothing could be done."
The bill will head to the governor's desk to be signed into law. A representative of Gov. Mike Pence's office said they will consider the bill before speaking on whether it will be signed.
"Now we are one signature from the governor away from realizing real and permanent relief for our residents and businesses," said GriffithTown Councilman Rick Ryfa in an email. "It is a great day for Griffith and a great day for those that believe reforming poor performing sectors of government is needed."
