Why choose Union's program?
At Union College, your nursing professors will not only teach you—they'll take the time to find out the best ways to help you succeed. This care and concern has helped Union develop one of the top nursing programs in the state.
Ever wonder how a nursing student develops their practical skills before they use them in real life? Enter the Sim-Man, a high-tech tool that allows students to practice real-life skills in a safe and comfortable environment.
Global Health Nursing
Millions of people all over the world lack proper health care. Union College is making a difference for some of those people every year through their global health nursing trip.
Foot Clinic
At Union College, nursing students use their medical knowledge to help others. Nursing classes periodically go to the Matt Talbot Kitchen and Outreach, and to nursing homes in Lincoln to provide foot care for those people who cannot care for themselves.
The Union College Division of Nursing builds on the concept that human beings are created in the image of God who gave them individuality, autonomy, a capacity for intelligent choice and adaptive mechanisms to deal with change. Exercising the right of self-determination, human beings chose a course contrary to the principles that promote well-being, consequently forfeiting health in all dimensions. The goal of the nurse is to assist clients to achieve high-level wellness.
A broad base in the humanities, natural, social and nursing sciences provides the student with a solid foundation required to carry out the mission of the nursing program, which is to prepare students from diverse backgrounds to be competent, caring generalists in the profession of nursing. The program is based on professional standards and reflects a commitment to wholeness, Christian service and Seventh-day Adventist values.

In Need Of A Backup Goalie?
Yesterday, Pierre LeBrun broke news that the Pittsburgh Penguins are considering an upgrade to Brent Johnson.
It's no secret Brent Johnson hasn't been impressive in net for the Pittsburgh Penguins this season. So, earlier this week, when he failed to take the ice for practice and Brad Theissen was recalled, speculation ran rampant.
As it turned out, Johnson was suffering from a virus that kept him off the ice not only for practice, but a game as well.
Johnson is sidelined once again, this time with a mild injury, and Theissen could get the nod tomorrow afternoon, leaving many to wonder if he could be auditioning.
What's more, Pierre LeBrun yesterday broke news that the Penguins are considering outside options, including Minnesota Wild backup Josh Harding.
Harding, an unrestricted free agent this summer, widely is considered among the best backup goalies in the NHL, though his playing time has been minimal due to a roadblock named Niklas Backstrom. His current salary is $750,000, though he could be in line for a big raise this summer — especially if he finds himself on a team considering him capable of being a platoon goalie or even a full-fledged starter.
What do you think?
How important is it for the Penguins to upgrade their goaltending situation? Do you like Harding a potential upgrade to Johnson, or would you prefer to see the Penguins focus their efforts on upgrading other areas of their roster? Let us know!

Concierge.com's insider take:
Ask around: Everyone in Zihua will tell you to come to this restaurant. It's housed in the city's oldest building, the Inguaran family's 1865 hacienda, which was the center of the then-thriving coconut industry. The palm-shaded garden, fairy-lit at night, is bucolic and romantic; the food is neither pretentious nor expensive. Locals rave about the coconut-crusted snapper and the shrimp baked in a coconut shell—but you can actually dine coconut-free here, and well. Start out with the heart-of-palm salad, then move on to charcoal-broiled pork chops, fresh-grilled fish, or the house special: chiles rellenos, potato-and-shrimp-stuffed Poblano chiles on tomato salsa. If, for some mad reason, you're feeling homesick for North American junk food, there's also a bar menu of burgers, fries, and chicken wings.
Open daily 11:30 am to 4 pm and 6 to 11 pm.

Online marketers are increasingly turning to social media to raise the profile of companies and products, according to a recent study.
The survey, conducted by the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), BtoB Magazine and marketing services firm mktg found that two-thirds of marketers used social media in campaigns this year.
This was more than three times the proportion who did so in 2007.
Some 50 per cent revealed that they had made use of viral videos in their campaigns, which was an increase of 25 percentage points from the figures two years ago.
Facebook was the most popular social networking site among marketers, with 74 per cent saying they had utilised it in their strategies, with YouTube and Twitter in second and third on 65 per cent and 63 per cent respectively.
Bob Liodice, president and chief executive officer of the ANA, commented: "As more media platforms become available, it is imperative that all marketers continue to assess their capabilities and select the platforms that are best suited to help them."
This comes after the Future of Commerce report conducted by Hill and Knowlton found that for many young web users, social media is the equivalent of word of mouth.

Nosgoth is a bloodthirsty, free-to-play, competitive online multiplayer title from Square Enix and Psyonix, set in the Legacy of Kain universe.
Publisher: Square Enix
Playerbase: High
Graphics: High
Type: Arena based shooter/combat
EXP Rate: Medium
PvP: Yes
Filesize: N/A (Development)
Pros: +Gritty and action packed, combat is fast and furious. +Very straight forward in what it offers in arena PVP. +Play as both sides! Combat is rounds where teams swap factions at the end of each round.
Cons: -Very niche; not many game modes at all. -The game feels terribly out of balance. -Other classes can only be unlocked by leveling or purchasing them; can take some time to experience more than the first two.
Nosgoth Overview
Nosgoth is a free-to-play, competitive online multiplayer game set in the Legacy of Kain universe. Choose between the ranged-specialized Humans or the brutal up-close carnage of the Vampires, and let the bloodshed begin.
Nosgoth's iron-willed Emperor Kain has disappeared, leaving his throne empty and the world in the hands of his Lieutenants. Riven by jealousy and conflict, it was not long before the Vampire Clans began fighting among themselves. Only the threat of a newly resurgent Humanity launching a war of extinction against them could reunite the warring Clans. Now they turn their inhuman strengths on a common enemy, to stop the genocidal march of Humankind.
The Reavers of Clan Dumahim are dexterous and stealthy predators, whose only focus is the subjugation of Humankind. As trained and talented killers, Reavers are both calculated and poised. Swift, silent and smart, these Vampires are natural hunters who can out-think and out-run the opposition.TYRANT - CLAN TURELIM
The Tyrants are the frontline shock troops of the Vampire legions, dedicating each victory to the glory of Clan Turelim. Tyrants see themselves as 'true' warriors and despise those who cannot compete with them on the battlefield. Their fighting style is heavy-handed and punishing, soaking up damage as they smash a straight line to their prey.SENTINEL - CLAN RAZIELIM
The Sentinels are devolved descendants and represent the last remnants of the once-proud Clan Razielim. Sentinels have developed large wings that allow them limited flight abilities and they use this mobility to scout and strike unsuspecting enemies from above. Dark and twisted, Sentinels are haters of Humanity.SUMMONER – CLAN MELCHAHIM
The Summoner class is among the first definite evidence that Kain's empire contained female vampires. Before the reveal of the summoner class only unseen character Lailah hinted at a female presence in the empire and previously it was unclear if the vampires of the Soul Reaver era were an entirely male society, though cut content for Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver does depict some Female vampires that have a somewhat similar appearance.
Thousands of years on from when their ancestors attempted to extinguish the race of Vampires from Nosgoth, the remaining Humans have been paying the price for that war ever since. Having risen from slavery and rebuilt their civilization, Humans have joined forces from all corners of the world to exterminate the Vampires once and for all. Growing in number, their rediscovery of lost expertise in weapon-crafting and new technologies in alchemy now makes them formidable warriors.
Professional and pitiless, Scouts were among the first of a new generation of Humans to take up arms against Nosgoth's Vampires. Armed with a precision bow, they are well used to hit-and-run tactics. Scouts swear loyalty to the Watchers, assassins skilled in picking off their enemies from the many hidden vantage points in the mountains of Dark Eden.ALCHEMIST - THE RED SISTERS OF ANACROTHE
The Alchemists are cultists, sworn to an order of arcane chemists whose concoctions produce a variety of effects ranging from explosive cocktails to transformative potions. A female-only sect with a thirst for explosions, Alchemists carry a hand cannon that fires alchemical globes which detonate with devastating force on impact.HUNTER - THE IRONGUARD
Vampire Hunters feel at home only in the midst of battle. They belong to the Ironguard, the last of an almost annihilated force and distant successors to the warrior class that have always lived, trained and fought for one thing – the eradication of every last Vampire from Nosgoth. Dedicated, ruthless and skilled, these warriors live for the hunt.PROPHET – LOST SEERS OF AVERNUS
Prophets use tainted blood as a weapon, turning the source of their enemies' very existence against them. Bullets dipped in the fluid carry wicked hexes. Dark blood can be spilled upon the ground to temporarily repel or weaken attackers. Their mutated bodies have an unhealthy attraction to other sources of stolen blood, giving them the ability to literally steal the life from nearby Vampires.VANGUARD – THE DROWNING MEN OF MERIDIAN
Also known as Shield Bearers, are a class of Humans wielding a tower shield and throwing axes. They are part of a faction known as Drowning Men chiefly made up of former prisoners and prison-keepers from the Isle of the Dead.
Nosgoth – A world of Vampires and Humans – Hundreds of years of conflict and hatred. Each race pitted against the other for supremacy, for survival. This is the war for Nosgoth!

Nosgoth Review
Nosgoth: Closed Beta Impressions By Jason Parker (Ragachak)
Legacy of Miscommunication:
Once upon a time, Eidos Interactive created the Legacy of Kain franchise, set in the grimdark fantasy world of Nosgoth. Developed by Silicone Knights and released by Eidos, the company was taken over by Squaresoft/Square-Enix and re-released. Throughout the 2000s, there were rumblings, rumors of a reboot or sequel to the last Legacy of Kain title. This is not that game. Nosgoth is set in the same world, and while it may be fun to know some of the lore from the series, it isn't necessary to get into this game. However, this is a far cry from the Kain series: it isn't an action beat-'em up or tactical espionage. This is Nosgoth, a MOBA published by Square-Enix and developed by Psyonix, and will be available on Steam.
Nosgoth's battles are four on four arenas, set in a generally grim and unpleasant portion of the world. After waiting in a lobby for all eight players, everyone is swapped onto squads and assigned one of two factions: the brutal, wicked Vampires and the cunning, well-equipped Human hunters. The matches are set to end either on a time-limit, or the first to 30 kills, whichever comes first. After the round ends, the squads swap factions, and they rush into combat again! At the end of that round, whichever has the most total kills wins, and experience and other rewards are doled out. One of the joys of this game is that it is a free-to-play game; you do not ever have to buy things or pay for the game itself. However, paying for a "Founders Pack," available on their website, allows you access immediately to the Closed Beta, and free stuff such as skins, early access to advanced classes and other fancy bonuses. You don't have to do any of this, but it can sure make the game easier to get a head start on.
The premise of Nosgoth is simple and straightforward. You and your team explore the map, navigate around and over buildings, hills, and down dark alleys to destroy the other team, crippling them with kill after brutal kill. There is, thankfully, a tutorial that shows you how to play both sides, to get a feel for the controls. You can choose to use a keyboard and mouse, or you can use a controller to really dive into the action. Though I found the keyboard combo more than a little clunky, I feel like many players will still use it. The base buttons can be incredibly awkward, with Left-Shift being your run/climb button, and Q/F being your primary skills. It can be sort of hard to shift from left-shift to Q on the fly if things are all happening at the same time.
Boom! Headshot!
Currently, there are two factions with four classes each. New players who are not founders start with two of each faction's classes: Hunter and Alchemist for Humans, while Vampires have Reavers and Tyrants. Each has its own kit of skills and equipment that one can unlock or purchase from the online store. Classes are acquired in one of two ways: You can use real-money currency to purchase them, or as your profile levels on 5, 10, 15 and 20 you can unlock them for free. You cannot use the "gold" currency that you earn via winning matches. As of this writing, it is about 12 dollars (US) to unlock a character class, since they all cost 3,000 runestones. For that price, I do sort of wish they would implement a sort of "Tryout" policy to see if you like the class before you purchase it.
Combat might seem unfair in Nosgoth. Humans are all ranged monsters, and Vampires are melee fighters, using their claws and darkness itself to their advantage. However, after numerous battles, I have found that this is not really a detriment. I won just as many on one faction as the other. While the Vampires do not have the power to shoot from a distance per se', they make up for it in their ability to scale buildings and walls with ease. Some of them fly and swoop down, while others are horrifying tanks, running right into the fray to distract and throw Humans off their balance while the reavers swoop in from the shadows, mauling the poor hunters. It is all about position, strategy, and action-reaction. On the other hand, humans have crossbows with exploding, rapid-fire arrows, bottles that explode into sunlight or a wall of fire. They have bolas to stop combat, while the Reaver can create an aura that allows them to dodge ranged attacks. Ultimately there is a balance in this, and it will boil down to how you and your team function as a unit.
Though the classes are not all unlocked, they are all incredibly different in how they play, so it should not be too hard to find something that suits your personal play style. Vampire Sentinels swoop overhead, grab Humans and drop them from terrible heights, likely right into the path of a Tyrant or Reaver. Prophets wear horrifying masks and use tainted blood, theirs and others, to enchant the bullets of their dual-pistols to cause havoc. I feel like all of the classes are incredibly powerful, and "In a world where everyone is overpowered, nobody is overpowered."
What are ya buyin'? What are ya sellin'?
Nosgoth is touted as a free game, and that's all well and good. At its core it is free-to-play, despite the Founder Packs offering obvious aids to get above other players faster for a price. With exp/gold boosts, classes, and skins, it is very tempting if a player is going to be serious about this game. For example, the 20 dollar "Veteran Pack" gives you immediate access to the Closed Beta, 4,000 runestones (equaling one character class and maybe some other stuff), and a badge showing you spent money on the game. Each one gets progressively more expensive and better, all the way up to the 149 dollar "Immortal Pack." It comes with early access to two classes, 30,000 runestones, reservation on a Warband (clan) name, an exclusive skin, and piles of other stuff. Personally, I cannot imagine spending that much on a game that isn't even out yet, especially if I hadn't played it yet. A serious concern to the free-to-play gamer is one player having an edge over one another and as such I am leery of most games that offer some kind of Founders Pack; if it is just cosmetic, little things to make your characters look cool or unique, that is one thing, but this game is offering a legitimate edge to players who drop money on it before the game is out. I have to say, that leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.
The store is unique to me, at least. There are a variety of items that one can purchase, using gold (won in games) and runestones (bought with money), and for some of these items, there are two options. You can spend a small amount (say, 100-300) to purchase a piece of equipment for 7 days; alternately, you can spend more to buy them permanently. I think this is a really cool concept. As I mentioned earlier a try-before-you-buy policy would be fantastic, and this is probably the closest the game will offer. The charge difference is significant, but not unreasonable. Say for example, one of the shotguns is 100-200 in currency for 7 days, and the permanent purchase is about 1000-1200. These items can be equipped in one of a few loadouts that you can select from before combat begins, a'la Call of Duty. Occasionally an item is rewarded after a series of rounds is over, similar to DOTA2, but it is a rarity; I have only seen it once so far.
A lot of the alternate equipment, such as weapons, is useful. I was looking in particular at the Alchemist items, as that is my preferred Human class. There were three guns on offer to be purchased. One does more damage, but has a smaller clip, while another drops three bombs per shot, creating a great deal of AOE damage. The final gun shoots sticky orbs that cling to enemies and other targets, exploding for a more interesting strategy. The normal gun shoots orbs that bounce before triggering their bit of explosive damage, so each of these is different in their own way. However, Vampires do not get physical equipment such as crossbows and guns. They do get a variety of equipable changes to their skills which are just as useful. Humans also get skill changes, but not quite as many. Of course, you can also buy perks, boosts, skins, and bundles of the above for your perusal. Thankfully, the important things can be bought with in-game currency.
The Masquerade And You: 4/5: Great.
My first impressions of Nosgoth are a mixed bag, admittedly. I'm a fan of MOBAs. I really enjoy the concept of Nosgoth as a faction on faction MOBA where it is an interesting blend of the Legacy of Kain world, Unreal Tournament-esque action, and carnage – lots of carnage. I feel that it is a niche' market though, which is why I am glad it is free to play. I get the feeling that if it had a retail price it would bomb horribly. I like that you have to play both sides of the game, and while there are players (like myself) that have a preference, it can really build a well-knowledged playerbase if everyone has no choice but to at least learn one or two classes on both sides. We can take this train of thought and find that now players are going to know what to expect of the other team, making more fast, exciting, insane action. And that's what we're going for! Violence, explosions, and blood! Nosgoth has that and more.
There are more things to come with Nosgoth, such as ranked/eSports play and a gifting/trading system. While again I feel this is a very niche' title, there are still some things to iron out and work on. Of course, this is a beta, and to be expected. One final thought concerns matches/matchmaking. I have only had one or two games that had a full four versus four the entire time. It seems that as soon as the game is going the other way, people give up and quit because there are no consequences in place for that, leaving many four vs. two matchups, or even worse, four vs. one. But I do feel like for those interested in arena combat, big things are on the way.
Graphics: 4/5
This title does a fantastic job of painting a portrait; a mixture of grim, beat-down villages, dark and forboding, and lush green towns with bridges covered in moss and bright green grass or weeds. The backdrops are terrific and the settings offer a great deal of room to maneuver and occasionally, get distracted by just how pretty it is. I'm looking forward to more of these maps to see just what the team at Psyonix are capable of.
Controls: 3/5
Admittedly, I am a little unhappy with the keyboard and mouse controls. They take quite a bit of work to get them just right. I found more of the time than not I would over shoot attacks, swinging away at the air because I moved the mouse just an inch too far over. I had this problem significantly less on a controller, but it still happened. The controls are strange, but changeable. The defaults felt to be very awkward to get used to, but I would rather learn to use them than adjust them. Maybe that's just me. I feel that I'll do better when I can get used to how the main buttons feel.
Features/Gameplay: 3/5
There are two modes that are available to me at this moment. The four vs. four beginner's mode where people get used to the game up to Rank 10, and the normal Team Deathmatch. There is also the Siege Mode, which I have no information on just yet. I was hoping for more modes; however, I am certain that there will be, such as ranked matches, and perhaps some kind of other staples of team combat, similar to perhaps a kill secured/capture the flag style game? Overdone perhaps, but I think the team at Psyonix could probably do some really clever things with Vampires and Humans game modes.
Sound/Music: 4/5
The music really felt like it fit the game; it is suitably grim and forboding, and the scenes were set well with it. The character voices felt like they matched the archetypes, and all around I was very pleased. I'm hoping for more variety in music though; the more I heard, the more I want to hear. Perhaps some dialogue between characters other than respawn and kills would be interesting. It might not be noticed with how fast and furious the combat is, but it would have potential.

Last month, I incorporated the "Caregiver's Bible" into my column. This month I'd like to take a look at the "Caregiver's Bill of Rights," whose author is also unknown, but has also been in many caregiver publications. I though it might be helpful to go over each point and add some of my thoughts and the actions that I have found helpful. I have the right... ...to take care of myself. This is not an act of selfishness. It will give me the capability of taking better care of my relative. To give myself a better perspective on the daily demands of dealing with Parkinson's disease, I know that it is necessary for me to have frequent breaks. I have hired Whittley to come in four days a week for 4 hours. Without the breaks that this affords me, I know that I would not be able to deal with everything as well. I also try to get exercise at least three times a week - going for walks, attending aerobics classes, yoga, walking stairs instead of using an elevator, etc. Getting yearly physicals and staying on top of all health problems are vitally important for each of us. We are better caregivers if we are healthy and able to keep up with what needs to be done. ...to maintain facets of my own life that do not include the person I care for, just as I would if he or she were healthy. I know that I do everything that I reasonably can for this person, and I have the right to do some things for myself. Because I have Whittley, I am able to go out or stay home, essentially doing what I want and/or need to do at those times, so I feel that I have some semblance of a normal life. Occasionally I meet a friend for some "girl" stuff, but usually I do errands or work around our house. My aerobics and yoga classes are nearby and Stan is able to be alone at those times. Most of my outside activities involve my significant involvement and work with our local PD Chapter, and I often take Stan with me. In any way that we can, we need to make happen that which allows us to feel that we "have a life". Without it we are vulnerable to feeling angry, depressed and bitter much of the time. ...to get angry, be depressed, and express other difficult feelings occasionally There are many moments, sometimes daily, of feeling angry, frustrated, helpless and/or depressed. Fortunately they are usually short lived because I am able to acknowledge them, not always to Stan, but at least to myself. I try to figure out why I reacted the way that I did, see that it was or was not probably warranted at the moment, and then try to move on. It's really important to be able to get past these moments or we would be angry all the time. Not that we don't have reason to be, but it doesn't feel good and is not helpful to our family member or ourselves. ...to reject any attempts by my relative (either conscious or unconscious) to manipulate me through guilt and/or depression. I have to work hard at not letting this happen to me because it is difficult. I think we need to decide what it is that we need in our lives, whether it is free time, exercise, time with friends, etc and then find a way to accomplish that. If our family member attempts to make us feel guilty, we need to be determined and know what we have to do. They will survive and we will be better for it. ...to receive consideration, affection, forgiveness, and acceptance for what I do, from my loved one for as long as I offer these qualities in return. I have found the best way to make this happen, if you basically love each other, is through frequent honest communication about how you each feel about what is happening. It may mean apologizing for an action, or explaining how frustrating something is, or how you can't deal with something right now, or any number of things that might create a problem if left unexplained. ...to take pride in what I am accomplishing and to applaud the courage it has sometimes taken to meet the needs of my relative. In other words, we should be aware of the job we are doing and feel good about it. Not many people are able to carry the heavy burdens that we have. Remember, life is not for the faint-hearted. It's tough sometimes but we are up to the challenge. ...to protect my individuality and my right to make a life for myself that will sustain me in the time when my relative no longer needs my full-time help. I have tried to maintain my friendships and contacts with other people so if at any time I am alone, I will be able to carry on and not have to learn how to live a "normal" life again. Keep up with friends, hobbies, and all activities that you enjoy. Rituals and traditions are important for you, friends, and family to maintain. ...to expect and demand that as new strides are made in finding resources to aid physically and mentally impaired persons in our country, similar strides will be made towards aiding and supporting caregivers.
Hopefully this might be beginning to happen now. I have seen several articles recently which have referred to "National Caregiver's Month," concern for the increasing numbers of caregivers in our country, the newly organized "Caregiver's Advisory Panel," etc. Maybe it would be helpful to suggest that your support groups have programs for and about caregivers.

[video] Hunger Games Effect: Which Stocks Will Win
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Katniss Everdeen might have won the Hunger Games, but she's not the only one due a windfall thanks to the franchise's next installment, Catching Fire. Lions Gate (LGF - Get Report), Scholastic (SCHL - Get Report), Regal Entertainment Group (RGC), Cinemark Holdings (CNK) and Comcast (CMCSA) will likely achieve a District 1 level of wealth through the film's cinematic run.
Lions Gate has the odds ever in its favor, after it bought the book rights back in 2009, backing the little movie that could during its 2012 release. Now that the franchise is a must-see blockbuster, Forbes estimates Catching Fire could top $250 million in its opening weekend, though Reuters cites a more conservative $170 million. On Thursday night, the sequel reportedly generated $25.25 million in box office sales in the U.S., 28% higher than the original during the same timeframe.
The original Hunger Games, released March last year, grossed $691 million worldwide, the 14th highest-grossing North American release in history. Before its release, the $80-million project was expected to generate between $125 million to $135 million for its opening weekend, according to Bloomberg, and those estimates generously factored in social media hype. In its debut 48 hours, the film pulled in $155 million in North America alone.
The final two films, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, the material of which is derived from the third book in the series, will be released in November 2014 and 2015, respectively.
The studio has also taken on the rights to a separate dystopian young-adult franchise, Divergent. The first installment in the Veronica Roth series is slated for a March 2014 release. Next, Regal Entertainment and Cinemark will likely reap the rewards of more viewers in their seats. Regal has a total 576 theaters with a combined 7,342 screens across North America, while Cinemark has 506 theaters and 5,794 screens in the U.S. and Latin America. Comcast-owned Fandango is already pulling in the big bucks. On Thursday, the online movie ticket seller said 85% of its advance ticket sales were for Catching Fire. Finally, the film will likely spike renewed interest in its source material, The Hunger Games trilogy, authored by Suzanne Collins. According to Scholastic, the publisher which owns the rights to the series, more than 65 million print and digital copies are in circulation in the U.S. alone. Since the original's publication in 2008, the trilogy has sat comfortably on The New York Times bestseller list for 260 consecutive weeks. By late afternoon, Lions Gate had rallied 2.8% to $33.46, Regal inched 0.4% higher to $19.60, Cinemark gained 0.4% to $33.21, Comcast surged 4.4% to $49.52, and Scholastic added 1.3% to $31.56.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Originally written on
SCACC Hoops
Last updated 11/15/14
It wasn't the prettiest performance but then again it was an exhibition and a win is a win. And that is exactly what Duke got beating Winston Salem State 69-45 in their final tune up before the regular season starts
Mason Plumlee played a complete game on both ends of the floor scoring 19 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and blocking two shots. It was his second consecutive double double which is clearly a sign of the commitment to utilize the preseason All-ACC first teamer.
Freshman Rasheed Sulaimon who scored 12 points also had his second straight solid game. Another freshman, forward Amile Jefferson, also had a solid performance scoring 13 points and grabbing 5 rebounds.
While Winston Salem State was much smaller than Duke and you'd expect them to dominate down low, it was nice to see Jefferson being active and making plays. And the way he is playing it might be hard for Mike Krzyzewski to not give him some minutes. Still despite Duke's size advantage the Rams were able to grab 44 rebounds to the Blue Devils 46, not as big a gap as you'd like to see.
Duke came out for the second straight game with a starting lineup of Quinn Cook, Plumlee, Ryan Kelly, Sulaimon and Alex Murphy and none did anything to make you'd think that that lineup will change any time soon.
The Blue Devils clearly are a different team designed to work around Mason Plumlee down low and feed him the ball. They weren't particulary effective shooting though, only making one three point shot (1-17), which is something almost unheard of over the last several seasons.
Still Duke showed fairly good ball movement, though at times they made too many sloppy passes especially out on the perimeter. Duke had 10 turnovers which isn't necessarily that bad.
Defensively the Blue Devils were much better than their first exhibtion game. They forced 19 turnovers, including 9 steals. They also blocked six shots and altered several more.
Still the sloppy play, especially in the second half when Duke essentially looked like they had put the game in cruise control can't make Krzyzewski very happy.
One bit of good news for Duke was that Seth Curry saw his first action of the season playing, 17 minutes and scoring four points. After looking a bit rusty in his first run in the opening half, Curry settled down and played more aggressive as the game went on.
Curry has been battling a nagging leg injury and while he moved well in the game and didn't seem to be in any noticeable pain or discomfort, Krzyzewski said that the injury could mean he may never be at 100 percent this entire season and that it will be a matter of managing the injury at this point.
In the absense of Andre Dawkins, who is sitting out the season while he deals with personal issues, it is that more important that Sulaimon develop into a reliable player to feel the void and so far so good.
Alex Murphy had a relatively quiet night scoring only 2 points in 14 minutes but it is easy to see how he will be a big part of the team as he does so many things well.
The Blue Devils will play their first official game next Friday against Georgia State at 7 p.m. in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free, For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. From His Eye Is On The Sparrow

June 24 When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul. And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul. From It Is Well With My Soul

You are my God, and I will praise You; You are my God, I will exalt You. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Psalm 118:28-29 NKJV

Justin Bieber has not been able to stay out of the headlines for some time now, and many different people have been weighing in on his troublesome lifestyle. Now, First Lady Michelle Obama is speaking out on his behavior, and HollywoodLife.com very much agrees with what she has to say!
When Michelle Obama, 50, speaks out publicly about your poor life choices, you know you have probably gone too far. Justin Bieber, 19, might be finding himself in hot water with the First Lady of the United States of America, and she is not afraid to share how she would be reacting — and more importantly, stepping in — right now if she was one of Justin's parents.
Michelle Obama Has Parenting Advice for Justin Bieber's Parents
The First Lady has a thing or two to say about Justin's troublemaking ways, and she made sure to voice them during a recent interview with Univision Radio host Enrique Santos. Michelle made it very clear that she thinks Justin needs adult supervision at all times, and that that would be her first plan of attack if he were her son. Maybe that's why her girls Natasha and Malia are so well behaved!
"I would pull him close," the First Lady explained during the interview. "You know, I don't know if it would be advice as much as action. I would be very present in his life right now. And I would be probably with him a good chunk of the time, just there to talk, to figure out what's going on in his head, to figure out who's in his life and who's not, you know."
First Lady Says 'Kids Just Want You Near'
While Michelle was careful not to touch on any of Justin's specific legal issues — especially whether or not he could be deported if found guilty of felony charges — she was more than happy to chat about the lack of a parental presence in his life.
Here are Michelle's final thoughts on the troubled young star's drama: "[Kids] just want you near, you know — they want that advice from a parent. They want to see you on a daily basis, because the thing is he's still a kid. He's still growing up. So, I would pull him close."
Tell us, HollyMoms — Do you agree with First Lady Michelle?

World of WarCrafts: School's out, crafting's in
School's out! Busy hands are happy hands, so get those crafts started now. We want to share what you're making: artwork, knitting, music, crafts, fan fic ... Let us know what sparks your imagination!
First up this week: The Horde scarf shown above is no ordinary Horde scarf. This Horde scarf was created to be equipped during rare-spawn, cold weather action in Costa Rica. "It all started when there was a cold wave a few months back in my country (Costa Rica; such cold waves are actually very rare), and my only scarf was actually a keffiyeh I'd wrap around my neck," writes Cambalache of Ragnaros (US-H). "So, since my wife's hobby is knitting on various styles ... she offered to knit me a scarf of my choosing, and as a true Horde player, I went for the symbol." A tauren after our own heart!
Join us after he break for an update to the WoW tattoo gallery, plus a small collection of music by and for WoW fans.

After an exhaustive three weeks of voting, dotTechies have decided: CCleaner, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera are our three favorite pieces of software.
That is a screenshot of all the pieces of software with more than one vote.
View the table here.
CCleaner, called "a veteran in the field of privacy and registry cleaning" by Ashraf, is a popular piece of Windows cleansing software.
[Direct download – non-toolbar or portable version]
Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox, called "the most epic web browser ever" by me just now, is a web browser. I'm using it right now to make this article!
[Direct download – portable version]
Opera, a we-have-everything Internet suite, is developed by… Opera software. It has a unique interface that is designed to be easy to use.
PowerPro "lets you take control of how you use Windows". It "supplements the Windows shell with rapid, minimal-mouse click access to your most used commands while taking up little system resources, and to provide utilities related to Windows start-up and time. PowerPro lets you take control of how you use Windows. Run commands and configure your system any way you want."
(Image from developer.)
Find and Run Robot (FARR)
FARR "is a program for keyboard maniacs — it uses an adaptive 'live search' function to rapidly find programs and documents on your computer as you type.
Press your chosen hotkey to display the FARR window, then just start typing the first letters of the application you want to launch and the results appear instantly. Hit enter to launch the top result, or refine your search with special modifiers and commands."
(Image from developer.)
WinUtilities " is an award winning collection of tools to optimize and speedup your system performance. this suite contains utilities to clean registry, temporary files on your disks, erase your application and internet browser history, cache and cookies."
You can read Ashraf's review here.
Revo Uninstaller
Revo is the defacto uninstaller around the interwebs. Its unique algorithm detects files that the built-in installers leave behind, leaving your computer closer to the state it was in before the software we installed.
(Screenshot from Softpedia.)
IrfanView is "a very fast, small, compact and innovative FREEWARE (for non-commercial use) graphic viewer for Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 , 2008, Vista, Windows 7."
(Image from developer.)
Says Ashraf, "if you are looking for the best protection, in terms of detecting malware, and are willing/are able to deal with the false positives, go for Avira."

Your URL to the "non-toolbar" slim-version of CCLEANER is incorrect.
The correct link is: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim This version is 1.120 Kb.
Your link still downloads the Yahoo-toolbar version of 3.308 Kb.
Best regards,
Jan Bart -
I always thought it was InfraView, also. I had to check out my program, and by gosh you are right. Learn something new everyday. :)
Hi from Italy, here is my work on winapp2.ini to expand CCleaner capabilities http://www.sicurezzaeprivacy.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=329&hilit=winapp2
I am fond of CCleaner, Avira, Revo and Chromium based-on browsers too -
happy to see my FARR program on the list! If anyone has any questions or feature requests don't be shy about posting on our forum or emailing me.
ps. ccleaner is a great program — can i humbly suggest that users of ccleaner might check out my little write up about keeping your internet cookies tidy using it? http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?topic=11931.0
Can't say enough good things about F.A.R.R. The author is actively developing the software and the website is full of goodies from all the active members. I recommend visiting the site first to understand better how their projects work.
CCleaner is beast! It's the Stealth Bomber when you relate to it.
The Stealth Bomber is a powerful weapon of mass destruction in MW2. It does a carpet bomb like Ccleaner does, detecting all the junk files in your computer! And man is it just me, or is Ccleaner the best free app ever!
Long live Ccleaner! XD
~Joji~ -
It's supposed to be "IrfanView" not "IfranView" :)
I don't mind the result, but it was more that 150 answers on the question. And only about 12 for CCleaner….where are the other one. Anyway thanks for the explication about the software.
Well, I missed the vote somehow. But you're right, CCleaner would be my top pick… when I'm not on my Linux Mint Helena machine. And Firefox is on both.
Take Care, Beware, and Be Good!

This week is Unconventional Instrument Week at Covering the Mouse and we will be listening to Disney covers that are done on instruments that aren't normally heard in popular music. Today's cover is Go the Distance by the KINJO GAKUIN UNIVERSITY HANDBELL CHOIR from Nagoya, Japan.
In a handbell choir, every musician is responsible for one or two English Handbells. Each handbell is a different size which allows it to carry a different note of the chromatic scale. The musician's job is to carefully pay attention to the music and ring the bell every time it is time to play their note. Sound simple? Not quite. Timing is everything and the entire choir has to be perfectly in synch otherwise it may throw off their fellow ringers. Two or more handbells can be rung at the same time to make a chord, and tapping it on the table or clapping it with your hand can produce other sounds for percussive effect.
If you are in the right circles, handbell choirs are quite popular. There are scores of them throughout the world and many competitions and seminars revolving around them.
If you have never seen a handbell choir in action, this version of Go the Distance may not seem like a big deal. So I have included the following youtube video for you to see. The song being performed is the classic jazz standard Sing, Sing, Sing.
If you want to hear more Disney songs rung by a handbell choir, check out DISNEY HANDBELL FANTASY or if you would like to try being a part of a handbell choir, check out Wii Music. There are some great mini-games in which you play a role as a musician in a handbell choir, using the remote and nunchuck as handbells. It isn't as easy as you think!

Always cut flower stems at an angle with a sharp knife or scissors.

Oxy-Mega Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Oxy-Mega is a colon cleanser with an official website. The supplement claims to use the power of oxygen to cleanse the intestinal and bowel system more effectively. As of late, more and more colon cleansers are using oxygen as their main push for sales. Rarely do any of these oxygen supplement post clinical trials or studies supporting the claims that magnesium, the main ingredient, produces oxygen within the body. The official Oxy-Mega website is a bit difficult to navigate. All information is listed in a block format and the dieter will be forced to read hundreds of words simply looking for an ingredient list.
List of Ingredients
Magnesium oxide, citric acid and vegetarian capsules.
Product Features
Magnesium oxide, the cleansing ingredient in Oxy-Mega, is used in alternative medicine for a variety of ailments including indigestion, heartburn and upset stomach. The ingredient is also a short-term laxative. Unlike other herbal laxatives, magnesium oxide can cause nausea, cramping and bowel obstruction. Oxy-Mega lists none of this information on the official website so the dieter would never realize these potential side effects if they did not choose to research the main ingredient.
Among the literature found online pertaining to magnesium oxide, there was no mention of the ingredient transforming to oxygen when ingested or causing a reaction that produced oxygen in the bowel.
What is more interesting than the ingredient list is the manufacturer information. Oxy-Mega is produced by Applied Ozone Systems. The company, out of California, also supplied ozone systems for pools and spas. Pool companies may not be the most reliable supplement companies.
There are several versions of Oxy-Mega for the dieter to choose from. Mild retails for $20 per bottle with free shipping and handling. Super retails for $35 with free shipping and handling. At the time of this review, Oxy-Mega was no longer available for sale.
- Magnesium will increase bowel movements.
- Ingredients were easily found online.
- Oxy-Mega is priced comparably to other colon cleansers.
- Oxy-Mega is not a proven herbal supplement.
- The supplement manufacturer is a pool company.
- Oxy-Mega is no longer available for sale.
- Magnesium Oxide, the main ingredient, can lead to nausea and cramping.
- Bowel obstruction is linked to magnesium oxide.
When a pool company starts selling colon cleansing products there may be a problem. While Applied Ozone Systems no longer supports the sale of Oxy-Mega, the company swears there were neither problems with the supplement nor any complaints. Applied Ozone Systems even suggests another oxygen based colon cleanser to dieters and gives the manufacturer name and phone number. Colon cleansing is not a healthy part of weight loss, especially when the manufacturer also sells oxygen and ozone systems for pools and spas.

I recently returned from nearly a week out at SIGGRAPH and thought I'd put together a few highlights to share with you.
For starters, it was great to hear about the latest CG innovations like the new 3D techniques being used in Tron Legacy - this trailer gives you a quick look at some of the technology previewed at the show. There was lots to see, and I have to admit that I didn't get around to checking everything out, but I did managed to swing by the stand of companies such as Boxx who released their fastest workstation to date at the show.
From our perspective, we were able to use the show to talk to a wide range of people about our expansion into the US and how the UK and US markets compare. It was great to get some face-to-face time with US graduates and no surprise to hear that getting your first CG job is as hard in the US as it is the UK. Work experience is key to opening doors, but it's hard to get work experience without first being familiar with the ins and outs of the production pipeline used by the industry. That's not to say that the education on offer or the people wanting to get into the industry differ greatly on either side of the Atlantic. Students (regardless of their location) need the right skills to develop their industry contacts and to land their first job. That's the reason behind our mentored learning courses – allowing people to train with us from anywhere ang get those all important professional techniques and industry connections.
Ultimately for me, the highlight of the show was to meet up with escapees who have successfully settled in the US and are enjoying working in the industry out there. Which brings me to a special message to one them in particular: Ray Chang. Ray, if you are reading this, do get in touch with us. We'd love to write about your recent work and share your successes with our blog readers.
As for busiest stand of the show, I reckon the prize has to go to Pixar. The queues to get the now famous Pixar RenderMan teapots and the posters were incredible! Best looking stand also goes to Pixar, but that might be because I love Toy Story and am a little biased.
That's it for now. If you'd like to hear more about any of the topics mentioned, drop me a line here or on Twitter (@Escape_Studios).

These TCI Super StreetFighter transmissions bridge the gap between the StreetFighters and full Competition series transmissions. Like the StreetFighter units, these are equipped with 100 percent tested, manual/automatic valve bodies. That means that most units allow you to manually shift the vehicle into each gear change or, by placing it in the drive position, remain fully automatic. In either mode, you get a racetrack shift that bangs through the gears and shaves time off your ETs. When you use the manual gear selection feature, the Super StreetFighters upshift and downshift right when you move the lever, with no lag or governor override. When you select the normal drive position, the transmissions retain positive automatic shifts, for the ease of driving you look for in an automatic transmission.

Reynolds Industries Theater
Saturday, June 14 at 8pm
Sunday, June 15 at 8pm
Monday, June 16 at 8pm
Taking inspiration from his ancestral past, South African choreographer Gregory Maqoma's moving, evening-length solo Exit/Exist blends storytelling with a powerful dance vocabulary and dynamic live music in an examination of race, political power, and the melding of past and present. Maqoma reveals the history and fate of his ancestor, a 19th century Xhosa warrior, who fought to maintain cultural traditions in the face of colonial rule. Through his signature integration of traditional and contemporary dance, Maqoma invites audiences to reflect on who we are, where we come from, and how all of these facets, past and present, inform our personal and collective identities today.

[iPhone] Send audio messages to Facebook friends with Jumvo
Posted By Tucker On April 20, 2013 @ 5:18 AM In iOS | No Comments
[1]Different countries have different habits and etiquette when it comes to communicating. For example, it is common practice in some parts of Scandinavia to first text a person before calling them, to ensure that now is a good time to talk. In our digital age, there are dozens of ways to communicate with someone, or just to get their attention. Finding the right method for reaching out can be tricky. However, Jumvo may offer the best of both worlds: a method of communication that is casual, yet has a personal touch.
Main Functionality
Jumvo is an iPhone app for sharing audio greetings and conversations between you and your Facebook friends.
[2]It's kind of unfair to put down Jumvo for only offering Facebook login, given the fact that this app is all about communicating with Facebook friends. That being said, I would love to see updates to the app that allow integration with other social networking platforms.
These upgrades could be integrated into Jumvo, or expanded into apps in their own right, branded as "Jumvo for Twitter" or "Jumvo for LinkedIn." It would be nice if you could have conversations with people who weren't all on Facebook, or if you could limit your business conversations to just your colleagues on LinkedIn. Hopefully this promising app will continue to grow and improve over the coming years.
All that aside, I think that Jumvo is a great app. It fills a great communication niche: it's great for adding a personal touch to quick hellos, or useful when organizing a meet-up. It's a very simple tool that makes communication easier, even as it provides yet another way for people to communicate with one another.
Your local laws about using a phone while driving will vary, and neither we nor the developers of the Jumvo app can advise you about those laws. That being said, most people would agree that speaking your messages into Jumvo is much safer than typing them, particularly when you are behind the wheel.
There are times when a written Facebook message is too impersonal, but a phone call isn't possible. For those times, Jumvo is an excellent communication tool. The app is simple to use, has a fun interface, and helps you keep in touch with people you care about.

More About:
Midwestern dairy producers looking for top-quality alfalfa hay before the winter feeding season are likely to find supplies nearly as tight as they were a year ago. Even so, prices have softened a shade.
That's the general consensus of representatives from major hay-marketing groups exhibiting at last week's World Dairy Expo in Madison, WI.
"For most hay in our area, prices are off at least $50/ton compared to a year ago," says hay grower Amy Freeburg of Freeburg Hay Co., in Gayville, SD. She was part of a contingent of producers staffing the National Hay Association (NHA) exhibit. "For the really good hay, though, the price hasn't dropped off that much. There's just so little of it available."
Compared to previous years, more Minnesota and Wisconsin dairy producers managing 50- to 75-cow herds stopped by NHA's booth this year. "A lot of them have always fed only their own hay," says Freeburg. "But this year, so much acreage over here was hit by winterkill. So now they're in the market. Most are looking to buy a load or two."
Many of those producers, she adds, aren't necessarily interested in top-quality alfalfa hay. "They realize they have other options for balancing their rations efficiently. They don't necessarily want or need cream-of-the-crop alfalfa."
Corn silage is one option that dairy producers in the region are likely turning to this year, says Barb Kinnan, executive director of the Nebraska Alfalfa Marketing Association. "The people stopping by the booth told us there's a lot of it being chopped in the Upper Midwest this fall. That could take away some of their hay needs."
Currently, premium-quality alfalfa hay in Nebraska is bringing anywhere from $200-$280/ton at the stack, she reports. "It's going for a little less than it was last year, but it's still holding pretty strong. You can still find some of that very good-quality hay available in the state, but not all that much. If a lot of the weather forecasters are right and we have a typical winter, what little there is will go in a hurry."
The story is different for low- to mid-quality hay in the state. There's plenty of it around for as low as $130/ton, says Kinnan.

The situation is much the same in neighboring Wyoming, according to Donn Randall, crop and forage program manager with the Wyoming Business Council. "Overall, we have a pretty good supply of hay," he says. "But we're not seeing anywhere near the quality of hay we saw last year because of how wet it's been."
Hay prices, as a result, have backed off – but only $20-40/ton from last year's drought-driven highs. Top-quality alfalfa in the state is bringing $260-280/ton at the stack, while middle-grade alfalfa is selling for $220-240. "For most growers, that's still a pretty good price."
He characterizes this year's expo traffic to the Wyoming exhibit as "extremely heavy. The people coming into the tent this year weren't casual shoppers. They were serious buyers."
Dairy producers he visited with also appeared to be more upbeat this year. "Last year, feed prices were just so high, it was hard for people to stay optimistic. Now, the corn and soybean prices are coming down a bit. Even the dairy producers who grow those crops seem to view that as a good thing. The big question on everybody's minds now is how will that affect the hay price?"
