B.S.N. Nursing
The BSN Program is a nationally accredited RN to BSN Program that is designed for the working registered nurse. All nursing classes are offered online and some courses require clinical experiences. Students may complete support courses and programmatic requirements at Bluefield State College or other colleges or universities. Completion of the BSN degree requires a total of 120 credit hours. The baccalaureate nursing program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (One DuPont Circle, NW, Suite 530, Washington, D.C. 20036-1120, and Phone: (202) 887-6791)
The mission of the BSN Program is to provide students an opportunity for quality baccalaureate nursing education that is both affordable and geographically accessible, and prepares students to meet the diverse health care needs of the community, state, and nation. The nursing faculty is committed to planning and implementing a quality baccalaureate program for registered nurses that promotes the students' intellectual, personal, ethical, and cultural development in a caring environment. The scope of professional nursing education is one that enables and empowers the student to recognize the ethical, legislative, economic, regulatory and political aspects that define the scope of professional nursing practice. The roles inherent in the status of the professional nurse include but are not limited to: provider of care, designer/manager/coordinator of care, member of a profession, client advocate, and life-long learner.
The goal of the BSN Program is to provide registered nurses with learning opportunities to acquire the knowledge base and skills to practice nursing at the professional level. The program outcomes are:

- Broaden advocacy skills for the nursing profession and the clients served.
- Employ critical thinking skills as a basis for professional nursing practice.
- Use effective communication skills consistent with the role of the professional nurse.
- Understand how to read and critique nursing research for its applicability for evidence-based nursing practice.
- Utilize professional nursing management and leadership skills to coordinate comprehensive health care.
- Apply an ethical decision-making framework incorporating the ANA Professional Code of Ethics, professional standards, and an awareness of personal values in nursing practice.
- Develop and implement health education programs for diverse populations in a variety of settings.
- Apply an increased depth and breadth of knowledge in managing clients with acute complex health problems.
- Utilize evidence-based nursing strategies in planning care for clients throughout the lifespan.

Yup. And it's a good question. Personally, I'm always torn when it comes to this. For example, UK Rubber Soul has "Drive My Car" and "Nowhere Man" but not "I've Just Seen a Face." I go back & forth. UK Revolver, however, is the far superior version to me.
stupid record companies.
I just think they should be heard in whichever way sounds better overall. For Rubber Soul there's a strong argument to be made for the US press, as the way it arranges songs makes for a stronger, more fullfilled sounding release. I'd agree with Greg.

Their label: http://www.sibirrecords.com/. I believe there were only 100 US copies and 100 Euro copies though.
Still in stock through the Danish label they partnered with: http://deadsection.dk/store/?product...-12-us-edition
Definitely get both if you can. It is well worth it. Ordering from overseas sucks, but at least doing it in bulk takes a bit of the sting out.

I slept on that reissue of Ascension...are there still copies available anywhere?
I suppose I could just go on Discogs and figure that out for myself.
Nevermind, found it easy enough. Ordered.
Got it direct from the label for $25 w/ shipping. Stoked.
I will report back shortly with the verdict on the repress of Lesson No. 1.
Bryan, Lesson No. 1 sounds and looks great. Still need to listen to the new track with Thurston Moore/Lee Ranaldo on the extra plate, but the original EP sounds awesome.

It may be easier to just list the CDs/LPs you have not bought.
Hahaha. I don't have many other hobbies.
Dear Everyone,
I am selling a bunch of records that I don't want anymore. I'm listing most of them for sale on Discogs as well. If you want more information, feel free to PM me for details/make offers/whatever. Should someone want to buy something, I would prefer to go through Discogs so I can start getting some seller feedback on there.
Here is what I have listed for the time being. I'll be adding more when I feel motivated. All are LPs. Some selections might disappear as I relisten to things if I decide I want to keep them, but the odds of that are pretty slim.

I love technology and all the gadgets that go along with it, including diabetes apps (applications) that help with managing diabetes. I recently read in Health Data Management news that the use of mobile and internet tools helped a group of people with diabetes lower their blood glucose levels. The group that used these tools saw an average A1C level decrease of almost 2 percent, which was more than twice the decrease seen in the control group. Other research has shown that even a 1 percent decrease in A1C helps to prevent complications of diabetes.
I typed in "diabetes" on my mobile device and downloaded several different diabetes apps that aim to help with managing diabetes. Costs varied from free to around $12. You have many diabetes apps to choose from to quickly record your blood sugar, blood pressure, pulse, weight, medications, food (usually carbohydrates) and exercise. You even have the ability to print or email your blood glucose record to your health care provider.
In our practice, I find that most people don't mind testing their blood sugar, but they don't care for writing down their readings. We understand busy schedules and know that it can be difficult to find the time to test your blood sugar, let alone write it down. However, keeping a record of your blood sugar levels can help you identify patterns of blood sugar levels that are too high or too low. A blood sugar record also helps your health care team evaluate the effectiveness of your diabetes medications, including insulin.
If you're comfortable with the technology, consider a mobile diabetes app to help you record your blood sugar levels. Mobile technology isn't for everyone, and that's all right! But it can be a good option for many.
We'd love to hear your experiences with mobile technology and diabetes management.

I would like a great app for Android that doesn't require "pricking the finger,". Can you please help me? Thanks for your time.
Hi. I am engaged in a health intervention implementation that seeks to help lower blood glucose levels of low income immigrants through physical activity. Please let me know which Spanish apps you found useful in low health literacy population segments. Thanks!
Helped by Online software
I was very impressed with online software's to help patients like us monitor their diabetes. My doctor was impressed by the way I kept track of all that I did. Like what I ate, what exercise I did, and how my blood glucose readings were properly managed.
I used this a site called friendofdiabetic.com
It has some very good analysis based on what you have given it as input. I was able to point out to my doctor about the variations and deviations and get advice to improve at specific points. For example always had my blood glucose reaching at 150+ after lunch. Software pointed out this long term trend and I brought this to my doctors notice. We both discussed what specifically I was having for lunch and what activity I was doing.
This software, other than providing the usual data management has got some very interesting analytics, like good and bad food for me.
It was really interesting to see what does not work for you and you can eliminate it from your diet. Also at times I was surprised to see that few sweet things I ate did not cause my glucose levels to peak. Later I realized that these have very high fiber content.
I specially love its photo feature. It tracks your appearance and as you lose weight, it is a great incentive to see yourself coming to shape from being overweight.
This is a good article.
I work at a Doctor's office and we have a bunch of ipads we would like to use for Patient Education. I am having very difficult time find a good Diabetic Educational app (not self track/log book apps) that interacts with patients and has videos for patients to watch. I;ve not been able to find anything that meets our needs. Do you have any App suggestions? We need them in both English and Spanish. Thank you.
I tried several free apps but was dissatisfied, so I wrote my own app using python language. It has features which I did not find in other apps. Its output is graphic; histograms of fasting, non-fasting and combined readings over a selected date period. A plot showing all readings over a selected time period with average fasting, non-fasting and combined averages. Another graph shows the average delta between fasting and non-fasting readings over a time period.
Also it provides a plot of calculated HGBA1c values over time which can be adjusted to conform to actual A1c test points.
It keeps a database file which now spans several years of data.
I have tried four or five apps including Glucose Buddy, My Net Diary, Diabetes Log, and Lose It. I have also tried BGStar which is a glucose monitor that plugs into the iPhone/ipad. I think it's important to find the one that fits your needs. As my needs changed, so did my app choice.
Recording numbers is always a good thing and Apps make that convenient for those already using technology.
I downloaded Glucose Buddy to my phone and record my readings everyday and all day. It is an excellent tool and lets me see how I am managing my diabetes. It tracks my weight , BG levels, foods, medications, BP and shows me on Graphs how I am doing. It also allows me to send that information directly to my healthcare provider and shows that information in an excel spreadsheet. Since I always have my phone handy I don't have to carry a logbook and a pen or pencil around with me. I also find that it motivates me to control my BG better because I can see visually how I am doing on a day to day basis. The app also gives me an average BG reading which I can compare to my A1c levels which I also find useful even if it isn't 100% accurate it lets me see how I am managing my control.
You can try "Diabetes Hypoglycemia" available on App Store (http://itunes.apple.com/pt/app/diabetes-hypoglycemia/id477244157?mt=8). It's a very useful tool in case of hypoglycemia. I tried it and i'm very satisfied!
To make sure I make all the right moves oand use the following free Android apps:
Calorie Counter which ties in to Fatsecret.com. I record everything I eat. It computes carbs, calories, fat, protein, and also logs my weight. The data is easily input on my smartphone.
To record my exercise time, miles walked, calories burned etc, i use ExerciseTracker.
And to record my medication, testing, BP, and carbs intake, I use OnTrack, on called OnTrack Diabetes.
I just had a patient show me the app "Myfitnesspal" cool. I like the bar code for the nutrition label.
I use my fitness pal to document a food exercise diary and easy diabetes to chart blood levels these are on iPhone.
Abbot who make "Freestyle" monitor (Realy small lancet)give away a free software package with their free monitor.(windows only :-( )
Dear RNs
I have an Iphone, etc., but I found that for a reasonble price, the software for the Accu-Chek Compact Plus is great to watch one's sugar daily, and be able to share the data with one's doctor.
I would like to see an app created that would correspond with the mayo clinic diabetes diet journal.. I like the premise of the food pyramid points and rating yourself on the 15 habits more than calorie counting...
I have started using the app Glucuse Buddy on my IPad. I am on weight watchers and was already used to logging my eating habits into my iPad so it was an easy addition to my routine. I have found that it is causing me to take my bg levels more seriously, enabling me to see treads, and the cause and effect of what I eat and how much I exercise. I found tracking work for me plus my doctor it going to love all the data.
My last A1C was in early December and it was 9.6. I started tracking my food and glucose levels with several apps on my phone and iPad. One gives an average reading for 3 months and as of today the reading shows an equilivant A1c of 5.8. My meter shows the same for the past 30 days with 218 readings. Those apps are a lifesaver.
Michelle: The article that Health Data Manaement new is referring tothe "Cluster-Randomized Trial of a Mobile Phone Personalized Behavioral Intervention for Blood Glucose Control" study. You can find the article in Diabetes Care: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/34/9/1934.full
Could someone help me find the citation for the article mentioned in Health Data Management news? Thanks!
I'll second the use of "OnTrack", which I use on my Android phone. It's free, and will store averages of all your readings, including meds, and if you're tech savvy you can print out a variety of results for you doctor. For day-to-day use, it's fast & easy.
I have used several personal assistant (PDAm PC and iPad programs)and believe me, there is one that is really useful called Logbook DM by Ryan Bruner. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg and will easiy give you lots of great information to help you control your blood sugar. It will work on several PDAs, and best of all will run beautifully on the inexpensive Zire by Palm. You can get a used Zire on eBay for well under $50 and Mr. Bruner charges only $12 to download his program. Get information on both by Googleing Logbook DM. For me the best part is the ability to track insulin on board (something you can usually get only with an insulin pump). With this information you can avoid stacking if you are injecting. The program will also give you lots of other information and you won't have to take a mortgage out on your house to afford it. Hope this helps a few of you out there looking for something like this.
Donna: I did an online search for web based glucose logs and here are a few links that might help you:
Lantus insulin website allows you to download the blood glucose record to record your blood glucose readings - http://www.lantus.com/docs/consumer/pdf/BloodSugarLog.pdf
Sugar Stats: Looks interesting. There are two plans to choose: the free version or the premium version where you pay a monthly fee that also allows you to record food/exercise and is add free - http://www.sugarstats.com/ This website lists many other sites to choose from where you can record your blood glucose readings online as well as sites where you can download blood glucose logs to print and record your blood glucose readings - http://www.mendosa.com/software.htm
Pick and choose the site that works best for you.
Hope this helps!
I was dx in late April 2011. I use the Bayer Contour USB meter which allows me to print out trend reports (or daily ones) for my doctor. He is impressed.
I use OnTrack for my Samsung Galaxy S / Android. OnTrack is easy to use and via Edit tab you see all your latest values at first glance. the opening screen displays latest values for Today/Week/Month.
I would like to find websites with good diaries and logs for recording my daily readings. Are there any you recommend?
First, let me start by saying, "Thank you" from one professional to another. Your blogs are so informative! I am a critical care transport nurse who has recently been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and have been struggling to find exchange lists to get my diet on track. Apparently, the physicians in my area think that we are experts in diabetes just because we have medical training! The problem is that I know too much and not enough at the same time! As both patient and care provider, I find it refreshing that this technology exists and had no knowledge that it was out there! I do a great deal of education with the patients while transporting and am stunned at the sometimes obscure education these folks receive. I have not been referred to a dietician, but am faced with a deadline for management of my sugars before I am facing meds. By the way, A1C of 7.1 and sugars in the 120's. After reading some of your blogs, I am blessed that I may be able to stave this off for a while, however, I know the inevitability of this for me- blame my mother- genetics! I will definitely cite the Mayo clinic as an excellent source of info for my patients!
Thanks again!
My BGL meter and BP meter have memories which I download each week and store on my PC. The day before I visit my doctor I print out the data in table and graph format to take with me.
Having equipment with memory does away with the need to manually record all this data. Having equipment which have a memory should be mandatory in the treatment of Diabetes.
Its a great tool.
After waking up and taking my shower, I sit at my computer and meditate for 15 minutes, then I take my vitals, after taken I typed them into excel. I have in columns, DATE- B/P PULSE,- B/S AND WEIGHT ONCE A WEEK, it's all there & ready to print when I go to the Dr. I've been doing this for 10 years now. I've had diabetes since the age of 42 and am now 76. Doing it this way has helped me to maintain a steady rate on both B/P and B/S. With humble prayers, Pauline

Have you been thinking about preserving your family's history, but aren't sure where to start? Here are 11 fun and creative ideas that will motivate you to kick the project off today:
- Turn Photo Albums Into Memory Books. Instead of simply slapping your photographs into an album, create a memory book by including a brief story about each picture and identifying everyone in it. Viewers, especially future family members, will be grateful for the explanations of who's who and what they're doing. Be sure to use acid-free products so that your memory book will endure for many years to come.
- Create Heirloom Jewelry. Jewelry doesn't have to be expensive to be meaningful. You can turn everyday pieces into heirlooms by linking each to a specific interest, moment, or event in your life. Think about collecting charms for a bracelet or adding a photo of a special relative to a locket.
- Grow Family Memories. Are you an avid gardener? Whether you grow prize-winning American Beauty roses or the ubiquitous zucchini, you can encourage and pass the love of gardening on to the next generation. Share some seeds or a cutting from a plant with a family member. Bake or cook with a young relative, using the bounty of your garden.
- Share the Love of Food. Write out favorite family recipes—Grandma Sarah's corn bread, Aunt Mary's turkey stuffing, your mother's prize-winning strawberry shortcake—on pretty recipe cards. Or collect them in a book. Add your memories of the times these dishes were served and savored and what made them so special to you and your family. The collected recipes and stories would make a wonderful gift for a newly married relative or young adult setting up a new home.
- Document Family Heirlooms. Do you own something that once belonged to an ancestor? Does that item hold great meaning to you? Ensure that future generations know its history by documenting it. Write down everything you know about the piece, including how it came into the family and who has owned it over the years. This is a great way to connect your descendants with the past. Be sure to keep the written record with the item. Check out the Heirloom Registry for an easy way to record the items.
- Set up a Family Photo Gallery. Are vintage photographs of your ancestors lying in dusty shoeboxes or hiding in old photo albums? Bring them out into the open. Local craft shops sell a variety of frames at a reasonable cost, and for just a little investment of time and money your gallery will generate interest, curiosity, and pleasure for your family members. Be sure to use acid-free matting and hang pictures away from the sun's destructive light.
- Craft a Comforting Memorial. If you can thread a needle you can create a beautiful tribute to a deceased family member by making a teddy bear or quilt from a shirt or other item of clothing that they wore. This can provide great comfort and solace to others following the loss of a loved one. And the newly crafted item becomes a family heirloom that continues to tell the story of that family member's life.
- Use Technology to Tell Your Story. Using video or audio recording equipment to preserve stories and memories is easier than you might think. First, make a list of stories you would like to talk about. Then set up the video or audio recorder, make sure to eliminate any competing sounds (e.g., ticking clocks, humming refrigerator), and tell your stories. If you prefer to focus on pictures, there are plenty of computer programs that can help you easily create a slide show from your family photos. Looking for some help? The friendly staff at Reel Tributes is just a phone call away.
- Proudly Display Family Documents. My husband's great-great-grandfather was the justice of the peace in Hardin County, Kentucky, after the Civil War. Fortunately, his Official Certification from the state of Kentucky was passed on to my husband. I had it framed, and this bit of my husband's family history is now displayed on a wall in our home—next to my husband's honorary discharge papers from the U.S. Army.
- Write an Ethical Will. Just as a Last Will and Testament is a tool to pass on the "stuff" of life, an ethical will is a tool to pass on personal beliefs, values, life lessons, and blessings. Ethical wills have been with us for more than 2,000 years; authentic and readable ethical wills dating back to 1200 A.D. are still valuable for their literary content. This document has been found to be a tremendous blessing to family and friends. Check out www.ethicalwill.com for information on how to write your own ethical will.
- Engage the Younger Generation. Kids have stories to tell as well. Ask your children or grandchildren what is important in their lives right now and record what they say, either with pen and paper or with an audio or video recorder. Not only will you learn a lot, but future generations will also be interested in what they have to say.
However you choose to preserve your family's history, begin now. Don't let good intentions be just that. Cherish the role of preserver of memories for your family. You won't regret it for a second.
Do you have other creative ideas to share? We, at Reel Tributes, would love to hear them.

God I can't believe they tried to bring over a dubbed version over. Seriously Crayon Shin-chan is the epitome of Japan's crooked sense of humor and it just cannot be translated over.
I'm sure it's funny in English, but I'm sure it isn't Shin-chan.

I love how the Flamborough Review takes national stories and puts the local spin on the issue.
Dianne Cornish's article "Local hives have a healthy buzz" (Aug. 1) was read with a sense of, "Phew, thank goodness it isn't happening here," with regard to how local hives have not suffered from catastrophic bee deaths due to pesticide poisoning at corn planting time.
The article mentions how more research needs to be completed in order to be sure of the problems associated with the possible 35 per cent drop in the total number of Ontario honey bees according to the Ontario Honey Council.
Thirty-five per cent is a staggering number! If 35 per cent of Ontario hogs died off, milk production dropped off by 35 per cent or if there were such a drastic decline in the forest industry, it would be an international crisis.
The Grain Farmers of Ontario (GFO) says that without the pesticides, local farmers could stand to have a reduction of three to 20 bushels per acre.
Does the GFO not realize that without bees to pollinate their crops, the bushel per acre is going to be zero?
Albert Einstein once said: "If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination…no more men!"
If Einstein was even close to being accurate, we should be doing everything in our power to protect these bees, regardless of yield and bushels per acre.
I am a little concerned that we may be 35 per cent of the way to "no more men."

I proposed to my fiance in Seville and spent that night at the Alfonso XIII. The conceirge was incredible. The night before the proposal, he helped arrange for flowers and cava in the room, reserved seats at a Flamenco show (and then called the theater when we were running late to hold our seats), and also helped get our bags in the room without my fiancee knowing. He was absolutely great. - Anonymous

I don't understand why people think that either GTK or Qt have to die.
They are both decent toolkits, and they have their developer bases.
Neither Windows nor Mac have just one toolkit, so why should Linux, where choice is revered?
A couple of high-quality themes which apply to both will solve the visual discrepancies, and then you're set.
I've found the CD size distribution always a plus point, and am not particularly fond of this mixing of different toolkits. Keep in mind that this is not just CD/disk space we're talking about, but the extra toolkit libraries also need to be loaded in memory when running applications using these toolkits. May not be an issue on modern desktop systems, but might be on low end netbooks.
But the bigger issue for me is consistency, one thing I have always liked about GNOME is the minimalistic UI that doesn't get in the way. Developers of Qt apps on the other hand seem to more follow the Microsoft Windows philosophy, with cluttered UIs and too many options.
what bothers me is having a non consistent desktop experience with apps looking like shit.
we also need central configuration for the toolkits (have no idea if its achievable) and matching themes
it would be better resource wise to have one toolkit or at least a big set of common libraries (ie why do we need both ffmpeg and gstreamer and whatever else does the same job)
Not to mention, the cellular companies with their anti-standards contract-based device-lock-in market aren't helping on that front, at least not in America. Oh Europe and your government-mandated pro-consumer standards like SIM cards, how I envy thee.
Vala, which is better as it is not a "managed environment"/VM or whatnot like .NET is, so it's faster.
The same thing needs to be done to the Linux kernel too so there are actually real standard interfaces for drivers. I refuse to believe that it's impossible to have a standard method of communication between system components that can't be made in such a way to allow for upgrades while maintaining compatibility. If you can have systems like DBus, you can have communication standards between drivers and other parts of the kernel.
Well, it seems Ubuntu developers finally woke up and are forgetting (a bit) that there's only GNOME/GTK+ apps/desktop in the linux world...
I also hope they start to develop some lightweight applications using the Qt framework instead of GTK+. It wouldn't just be good for Ubuntu, but maybe also for other distros...
About some people saying Qt is a too huge application: Well, if you're compiling Qt in your PC along their debug libraries, you'll take about 700MB of installation (Qt 4.7).
If you're compiling all main Qt runtime libraries (QtDevelop, QtCore, QtWebkit, QtMultimedia, QtPhonon, etc.), you'll have a full-blown access to them with about "just" 100MB of disk space.
If you just want to compile the main Qt "Core", it isn't bigger in your disk than 20MB.

Join me in my efforts to support Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation!
Join me as I compete against 38 of the best athletes from around the globe in the longest and most competitive hand bike race in the world. 8 days, across 267 miles and more than 16,000 feet of elevation gain on a new brutal route through alaska.
For the 25th anniversary of the race they have carved a new route for the race that they describe as "way more climbing, way more Alaskan, way more difficult, way more scenery." (I must like the pain!)
About Me: In September of 1997 at 26 yrs old I was in an automobile accident that left me paralyzed from the chest down. I was a very active guy at the time - I had moved out west a couple of years before the accident from Upstate NY to play in the mountains. An avid skier, mountaineer and cyclist prior to the accident Ive continued to do many of these things albeit in a different fashion. Since that life changing moment, Ive focused on what I can do and made the most of life. Cycling, more specifically handcycling, has became my true calling.
Check out info on the race here http://www.sadlersakchallenge.org/
Thank you for supporting The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

Comments about Ram Golf RAM Men's G-Force Left-Hand Golf Set:
Decided it was time to learn to play golf, so I signed up for some lessons through the Park District given by Golf Academy. Although I'm right-handed, golfing left feels more natural. However, it is difficult to find a set of left-handed clubs cheaply. The G-Force allowed me to get a left-handed set without spending a lot (just over $100 for 9 clubs and a bag). I'm thinking once I learn about what I'm supposed to be doing, then I can invest in the sport. The only issue with this idea is that you have to take the stock length of the club which may or may not affect your stance and swing. Otherwise, this set fits the bill for a beginner set.

baileysw wrote:I have a 4x4 traytop ute with canopy & tie-down rails. Two pieces of scrap ply (600w x 1000L) make an excellent camp kitchen. A pine frame stiffens the underside, two clips from door stops on each piece of ply clip onto the tie-down rail, and a swinging, drop-down leg on each one gives support at the other end. I put some fibro at the end of one for a cooking area for a ring burner and/or gas stove. I made up a folding tin wind shield for those breezy sites. In the middle of the other piece of ply, I cut out a hole in which I sit a plastic washing up bucket. A few small hooks for utensils, dishcloth and tea towels and you're done.
Place each bench either side of the rear wheel and you have a double-bench kitchen that is functional and also has plenty of room for 2 people for preparation, cooking and stacking the dirty dishes. Underneath I store my esky and groceries in a lareg el-cheapo plastic box.
All up, the cost was less than twenty dollars and I have a kitchen that takes less than 20 seconds to fold up and store in the back of the truck. Photo's are available for anyone interested.

The dapper Kei (Simon Yam) leads a four-man team of pickpockets (played by Gordon Lam, Kenneth Cheung, and Law Wing Cheong), each adept at relieving unsuspecting tourists of their valuables. But their daily thievery is interrupted when Chung Chun Lei (Kelly Lin) enters their lives, bringing with her an elegance and mystery that immediately attracts. She approaches each man separately, drawing each in like moths to a flame, but what's her angle? Is she a thief? A damsel in distress? And why is she constantly on the run from suit-wearing thugs? Chun Lei most definitely means trouble, as her interference - and a sultry cry for help - threatens the foursome's solidarity. Ever the experienced leader, Kei knows that it's best for pickpockets to keep a very low profile, and desires for his men to attract as little attention as possible. But when Kei's skills are challenged by an elder, more experienced thief, he goes all in, risking everything to help Chun Lei.

Many people wonder what the treatment for Barrett's Esophagus (BE) is. Treatment for BE without dysplasia consists primarily of controlling esophageal acid exposure, usually with once a day proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medications like omeprazole (Prilosec®). Occasionally, twice a day dosing or even anti-reflux surgery may be necessary to completely control acid reflux. Unfortunately, suppressing acid does not usually cause the Barrett's tissue to regress or even prevent it from progressing to cancer.
If dysplasia is found on any biopsies, treatment recommendations change:
- Low-grade dysplasia: Close surveillance with endoscopy every 6-12 months or ablation.
- High-grade dysplasia: Endoscopic therapy to destroy Barrett's tissue or surgery.
- Early cancer: Endoscopic removal of focal cancer followed by tissue destruction or surgery
Experiments performed 20 years ago showed that in most people, once the Barrett's tissue has been removed or destroyed, normal squamous tissue tends to regrow in the area as long as acid reflux is suppressed.
Endoscopic tissue destruction can be performed many ways:

Any chance that we will one day see a benchmark without using the Unity desktop, which may or may not have an impact on the results?
I really doubt it.
I was investigating why World Of Padman appears to be slower with Mesa 9.1.
The fact is it's not slower at all. The problem is the GPU hardlocks twice during the benchmark and the recovery takes 10 seconds, so in total the computer is frozen (0 fps) for 20 seconds. The cause of the hardlocks is Hyper-Z and the reproducibility of the hardlocks is 100%.
My primary criteria for a gpu: low tdp (<60W, electricity is not cheap), passive (no noise), runs on free drivers with most features.
That said, I do play some games, and also develop some 3d games and visualizations. For those I do care about these benchmarks. It just so happens that the other things have more priority for me than 3d oomph, but I can still care about getting more performance from my existing card.

Directivity Plot for The Geysers M3.8
The directivity is strong: the PGA and PGV rupture velocities are limited at ν ≡ 0.92β. The directions are vertically upward and close to the intersection of the nodal planes. The nodal planes are projected on the upper hemisphere. All the stations used are within 55 km of the earthquake.
The residual PGAs and PGVs are plotted on whole stereonets. Symbols indicating the amplitude of the residual peak ground motions are plotted at the azimuths and vertical takeoff angles of the S-waves. Orange circles indicate amplified ground motions; green crosses indicate deamplified ground motions. Because we restrict the station distance, most takeoff angles are vertically upward, but the takeoff angles to the more distant stations can be slightly downward. The thick magenta lines show the rupture direction. The longer the line, the more horizontal the rupture direction. Upward rupture directions end in arrows; downward rupture directions end in stars. The thin magenta lines around the rupture directions enclose the 2σ uncertainty areas: these uncertainty areas can extend into both the upper and lower hemispheres. The blue lines show the nodal planes of the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory Moment Tensor, which are projected onto the upper or lower hemisphere, depending on the rupture direction. The sets of three numbers indicate the strike and dip of the nodal plane and the angle between the rupture direction and the nodal plane. If you are unfamiliar with nodal planes and stereoscopic projections, there is an excellent explanation titled Fault Plane Solutions. Remember that nodal planes are determined from P-wave first motions, while the directivity is determined from S-wave peak motions.

If youre going to have Robert Parker or Stephen Tanzer over for dinner, selecting a wine theyve rated highly will be a nice choice. However, when youre buying wines for yourself, wed love to see you find wines that match up your unique palate and pocketbook. We have a large staff of friendly and knowledgeable wine professionals that taste hundreds of wines each week. They can put you in touch with bottles that you are likely to love, often at a much lower cost than the highly-rated gems that often see a run-up in price and frequent availability issues. Like any great group of opinionated professionals, our staff has varied tastes themselves. Often our customers will find a particular staff member with a style that corresponds to their own. That concept works extremely well in our retail stores, and this section is our effort to bring you the same online. Dont get us wrong, we love the highly rated wines from the press and will continue to offer them, but we think youre missing out if youre not augmenting those selections with picks from our excellent staff. Here are their favorites. (Click on a name to see their other selections - or to drop them a line.) Cheers!

Which detail level did you test doom3 with? I hope not low because my 6600gt was able to run it at 60 fps @1280x1024 with Ultra quality setting
Phoronix: Intel RC6 Support On The Sandy Bridge Desktop
While RC6 support remains off-by-default as Intel developers are faced by RC6-related bugs affecting a small minority of Sandy Bridge users, this power-savings feature is not limited to only Intel mobile graphics. As discovered at Phoronix, RC6 can manage to boost the graphics performance beyond just extending your battery life. The RC6 performance boost is also quite visible on Intel Sandy Bridge desktop hardware too.
Which detail level did you test doom3 with? I hope not low because my 6600gt was able to run it at 60 fps @1280x1024 with Ultra quality setting
Intel: GMA45, HD3000 (Core i5 2500K)
holy crap seriously, do the intel graphics chips have a bottomless pit of spare performance because it seems like every release has had a noticeable performance improvement. all they really need to focus on at this point is improving high resolution performance and they've got drivers that no other os can compete with.
intel's graphics chips are relatively simple. it makes me wonder how much performance nvidia or ati/amd cards have that is not in use, including in windows.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4798/i...8b-transistors) and 1160000000 transistors in Sandy Bridge, a pretty large share is responsible for graphics. I'd say that starting with the Intel Core-based generation of GPUs, these are not simple at all.
Intel's graphics execution units are of similar complexity to AMD and Nvidia, but the latter two get much better performance for two major reasons:
1. AMD and Nvidia typically devote many many more resources to the graphics and include many more copies of the same execution units than Intel does. Even in an integrated design like Llano, AMD has more transistors devoted to graphics than will be present in Ivy Bridge (and over twice as many transistors as are used in Sandy Bridge). That's one reason I'm predicting that Ivy Bridge will get close to Llano's graphics performance, and maybe beat it in low-power envelope applications, but will not beat Llano in higher-TDP designs like desktops where all the GPU resources can be used.
2. AMD and Nvidia devote FAR more resources to getting the drivers working at optimal performance than Intel does. This is actually Intel's biggest failure in the graphics world. It's not that Intel's hardware is that terrible (it's not high-end, but it's OK for the intended market Intel aims it at). Instead, Intel is often way behind the curve at getting proper driver support out. This appears to be changing for the better, but Intel is a big entity and it takes a while to really turn things around.
Part of it is that the drivers used to be really, really bad.
Intel's drivers on other OS's are still pretty bad, although they are definitely improving. It's interesting to see that the Intel Linux drivers are now in the position of probably being the best compared to Windows or OSX, at least in OpenGL. Windows D3D support isn't too bad these days either.
I windows, the performance of a nvidia gt 525m is not too far away from the Intel HD3000.
In linux I need to use Bumblebee, so the nvidia got worse performance, but the Intel here makes 2/3 the way the nvidia does.
I really hope rc6 get enabled soon, I want to use linux more instead of Windows just for the battery life.
