Dominating the field, Swedish Medical Center, University of Washington (UW), Virginia Mason Medical Center, Harborview Medical Center, and Seattle Children's Hospital are top firms with a reputation for hiring a great number of Registered Nurses in Seattle, Wash. Heading up the field in terms of compensation, Group Health Cooperative offers the most; Registered Nurses in Seattle earn $85K on average there.
For Seattle Registered Nurses, below-average salaries can be found at Seattle Children's Hospital; in fact, average earnings are around $60K, the lowest in the area, though the difference in the company's lowest and highest employee paychecks ($50K versus $110K) is great.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and income seem to be closely related; in general, the survey respondents who had worked for more years reported higher incomes. Workers with less than five years' experience earn around $59K on average, and those who have five to 10 years under their belts see a higher median salary of $68K. Registered Nurses in Seattle see a median salary of $79K after reaching one to two decades on the job. Seattle Registered Nurses who have spent more than 20 years on the job report earning a significantly higher median of $92K.

At this point in the news cycle, it may be prudent to define "flu epidemic" and its far scarier sibling, "flu pandemic." "Epidemic" means simply that a sudden outbreak of the virus is spreading rapidly and affecting many people at the same time. In the UK, the National Health Services define it as when more than 400 people per 100,000 consult their doctor or go to the hospital with the flu or flu-like symptoms each week. In the US, a "flu epidemic" is defined... READ ON

Southern Nuclear Company's Operator Jump Start Graduates Boast 100% Pass Rate On GFES
GSE Systems, Inc. (GSE) (NYSE Amex:GVP), a leading global provider of real-time simulation and training solutions to the power, process, manufacturing and Government sectors announces the success of its Nuclear Operator Jump Start Program. The program, now in its fourth class, was designed to fill Southern Nuclear Company's (SNC) "pipeline" for licensed reactor operators for their new-build plants and to prepare operator candidates for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Generic Fundamentals Examinations (GFES). The program is being conducted at the campus of Augusta Technical College (ATC) in Georgia.
SNC's new-build units, Vogtle 3 and 4 must meet several key milestones in order to support the testing, fuel load and start-up. SNC's response to the challenge included developing a partnership with GSE to create a Nuclear Operator Jump Start Program for new instructors and operator candidates. "The unique aspect of the Jump Start Course is that it immerses the candidates in realistic, integrated plant operations by use of a soft panel simulator," explains SNC's Training Deployment Manager, Charlie Nesbitt.
Since the first class began in July 2009, 31 candidates have participated in the program. Of these, 21 operations instructors and 9 senior reactor operators have successfully completed the program. All 9 senior reactor operator candidates passed NRC GFES. GSE, in cooperation with ATC, is under contract to SNC to train and screen all potential training and operations personnel hired to staff Vogtle Units 3 and 4.
GSE developed the 20 week Jump Start course to include three sections; fundamentals, plant systems and operations. The fundamentals section includes, but is not limited to, the GFES materials as required by the NRC. The plant systems section teaches plant-specific systems material while the operations section provides hands-on training on GSE's, full-scope VPanel simulator running the reference plant simulation load.
Knowledge retention is checked throughout the course with weekly tests requiring the students to maintain an 80% average or better, the same pass / fail criteria used in a traditional initial license class. All three sections are taught and evaluated at a licensed operator training level.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Is OSGi the Right Foundation for Java Middleware?
Ross Mason, founder of MuleSource expressed his frustration with OSGi: "OSGi is a great specification for middleware vendors, but a terrible specification for the end user." He argues that OSGi just isn't ready for the developer yet as it is too difficult to completely make it invisible to a developer.

REST and versioning
The problem of how to version services in a REST-based environment is something that comes up time and again. This time Ganesh Prasad offers a proposed solution based not on modifications to the service URL but on the fundamental reason behind versioning in the first place.
EGit Eclipse Git plug-in released
The first public version of the org.eclipse EGit plug-in version 0.7.1 has been released at EclipseCon. EGit is based on the pure Java implementation JGit, which means that it has no external dependencies or native code requirements; something which has historically hindered the adoption of Eclipse's Subversion support.

Team Foundation Server for Telecommuters
Back when Visual SourceSafe was the de facto version control for Windows developers, remote access was a major problem. Products like SourceOffSite were a necessity for anyone working remotely. While globalization and unstable fuel prices continue to drive increases in telecommuting, Microsoft is still neglecting this sector, leaving opportunities for smaller companies like Teamprise.

C.J. Heck Poems
A Poet For a Lover (Adult)
Give me a poet for a lover whose words stroke me like velvet hands. Word-tender caresses more reaching than the caress of a mere mortal man. -
Night-Night (Children)
Night-night moon Night-night stars Night-night noisy trucks and cars. -
Anatomy of a Poet
Go in through the eyes of a poet deep into her alphabet mind. Ideas like flotsam and jetsam dodge poetry fragments and lines. -
Dancing Fairies (Children)
On warm dark nights I think I see beneath the weeping willow tree, the fairies dancing in the grass on tiny feet that fly so fast. -
A Box for Good Will
As a friend, I had come to help yet one more time and I watched as she set the cardboard box on the floor. -
Ode to Being Five (Children)
I made a paper Valentine all red and edged with lace. And on my paper Valentine, I drew a pretty face. -
I Love Bugs (Children)
I love teeny tiny ants and itchy bitsy fleas, spiders, big and little, and grouchy grumble bees, -
Life is full of crossroads, the hard lefts or rights, and little pathways of curves, this way or that. -
The Money Tree (Children)
I dreamed I grew a money tree outside in my yard. My job was to care for it and I worked very hard. -
A Man I Knew
There was a man I knew and just knowing him made me think of poetry. -
I Remember Then
I remember many things about those days and you. I remember staring into brown eyes -
Butterfly's Lesson
Oh Mama look, a flutterby. (her tiny hand held it out to me) . She grasped it firmly in her fist, afraid to set it free. -
Life Goes On
memories are like a child's jack-in-the-box, bound to pop up when we least expect them -
A Child's Masterpiece (Children)
Today I found a can of paint. The paintbrush was there, too. Mommy must have left it when her painting was all through.

Thank You for being exempliary in your work......you inspire me to set a higher standard for my own poems!
Hugs to You~

Joseph Daly
CJ is, predominately viewed as a writer of works for children, yet those works contain an approach that crosses all age groups. Her works can be humourous or filled with pathos. Her use of words can paint a picture of innocence that contrains its own profoundity. 'Daddy's Boots' is a perfect example of how CJ approaches her work. It is at once a portrayal of innocence and a need to abandon that innocence at times of trauma.
Her children's works have an incredible universal appeal and if one is tempted to dismiss them because CJ classes them as Children's pieces, then you do so at your Peril.
In her non-childrens verse, CJ carries over her approach to more adult themes. In doing so she presents a world that is deeply sad, incredibly humourous and sometimes intimate. -

Hi. I love your poetry (don't know how much that's got to do with the fact that you write in much the same style as I do!) ..'Dancing with Fairies' is great, quite simple and short, but fun to read and recite and very picturesque. Do you mind if I copy some of your poems on to a UK forum that I use? We don't go in for 'heavy' stuff, but enjoyable easy-reading (IDF50, poetry corner) .

A Poet For a Lover (Adult)
Give me a poet for a lover
whose words stroke me like velvet hands.
Word-tender caresses more reaching
than the caress of a mere mortal man.
A poet's light touch is so gentle.
Word-fingers probe deep every time,
arousing me, haunting me, wetting me,
seducing me, body and mind.
Oh Lord,
give me a poet for a lover.
Lust and fire burn in his heart.
A silver-tongued devil whose words make me ache
to be on my knees in the dark.
Word-foreplay making me want him,
only mind-loved, I want to be free
to feel just one time, my poet inside, ...

The device is made from soft material called an ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC). The IPMC consists of a base film of a polyelectrolyte gel and a double layer of plated metal electrodes. The electrodes of the experimental IPMC are sectioned, and it is implemented as a control system with four pairs of inputs/outputs. We stabilize the system, and detect changes in dynamics by using the control representation.

Today I was at a street festival on H Street in Washington, DC. As I was waiting for the bus to go home, I saw an elderly woman walk by, leaning on a cane for support. Suddenly, the guy who had been standing next to me walked up behind her and slapped her on the ass, then darted away into the crowd, pretending like it wasn't him. I was shocked and disgusted. There was no goal in his action other than harassment and intimidation. She turned around and glared for a while, looking for the culprit, but no one did anything.
I wish so badly that I had yelled at the guy, or pointed him out afterwards, or gone over to the woman and told her how awful that was and shown my support. But I didn't do anything, other than take a picture of this vile man after he had run away and crossed the street (he is the one in the striped shirt). I was surrounded by strangers, alone in a strange neighborhood. And it's exactly this sense of making women feel like these are not their streets that is so awful and harmful. It literally affects how we feel every day when we walk down the street, whether victim or bystander. If I ever see something again, I will say something.

im 6 weeks, did the ultra sound and we couldn't hear a heart beat .. the doctor told me to wait and do another ultra after 2 more weeks .. so im still waiting .. im hoping its nothing serious .. since this is my first baby .. i don't know whether to be concerned or not.posted 11/22/2007 by Zainy
When I went in for my first visit at 8 weeks they could not yet hear the heart. They told me they begin listening for it ASAP but it's uncommon to hear it that early. I was able to hear it when I went back in around 10 weeks & every time since. I'm currently 28 weeks.posted 10/09/2007 by Vladibunny
We did not hear the heart beat until our 12 week visit...and there is nothing wrong with that! We have a beautiful, healty, 2 month old baby girl!!!!posted 10/13/2007 by sarahrollins
I couldn't hear any heartbeat at 7 weeks. But heard it at 8. Do not worry you will hear it soon. We pregnant women freak out too much about minor things. Just relax and try to enjoy not having a period for once:).posted 05/04/2010 by vyasna
its pretty uncommon to heat the heartbeat at 6 weeks. With my first i didn't hear it till i was about 10 weeks. I am currently 8 weeks 5 days pregnant with baby number two and I wont get to hear the heartbeat till my 12 week appointment. Don't worry, you will hear the heart beat soon enough.posted 03/15/2012 by ShelbyD09
That is not true at 5 weeks to hear a heart beat. There is no reason to say that and alarm newly pregnant woman! So keep that ignorance to yourself.posted 05/07/2014 by malola27
I had a vaginal ultrasound at 6 weeks and no heartbeat. Dr thought the baby may be dead but went back at 10 weeks and everything was fine. With my first a baby there was a heart beat on the vaginal ultrasound at 6 weeks. Don't panic. I am sure the baby is cooking fine..posted 03/15/2012 by shelrocks

We initially booked a stay at Lamp Lighter but were upgraded for our anniversary to Forest Lodge with a larger and more private room. The room was very nice and well appointed and we enjoyed the fireplace. The bathroom was large and there was another twin bed off to a side in case it is needed. Breakfast was delivered in the morning and was much better tasting for a continental breakfast than I've had at other places. We really enjoyed our stay and that staff was great.

Millennium Falcon: Star Wars
Climb aboard, buckle up, and prepare to jump to hyperspace for a dazzling adventure aboard the ship that launched a thousand fates.
Two years have passed since the death of the brutal Sith Lord Darth Caedus–once known as Jacen Solo. The galaxy is slowly healing from civil war, while Jacen's family and friends are left to mourn his loss alone. For Han and Leia, still grieving for their son, the only bright spot is Jacen's daughter, Allana, who has been given into their care. Now Allana introduces new adventure into her grandparents' lives when she discovers a strange device hidden aboard the Millennium Falcon–a discovery that sparks a fact-finding expedition to retrace the people, places, and events in the checkered history of the famous spaceship. But the Solos are not alone in their quest: Crime lords, galactic pirates, rogue politicians, and fortune hunters alike will race to a final standoff for a prize some will risk everything to find–and pay any cost to possess.
