The Career Ladder Nursing Program is comprised of:
- Practical Nursing (PN) Program
- Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Program
(Curriculum Code for both programs is 0863)
The PN PROGRAM is approved by the Michigan Board of Nursing (since November 1970). The program consists of 21-25 semester credits of general education requirements and 23 semester credits of nursing course requirements. These courses provide the basis for an in-depth study of the theory and nursing care of adults, children and families. Clinical experiences include extended care facilities, hospitals, and community agencies where students provide nursing care to geriatric, medical, surgical, maternity and pediatric patients.
Graduates earn a certificate from Lansing Community College and are eligible to take the National Council Licensing Examination - Practical Nurse (NCLEX-PN). Those who pass the examination are entitled to practice as Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs).
The ADN PROGRAM is approved by the Michigan Board of Nursing,
and is accredited by:
Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing, Inc.

LCC's nursing program has had continuous accreditation since 1971. The program consists of the PN Program described above with an additional 9-11 semester credits of general education requirements and 21 semester credits of nursing courses.
Lansing Community College offers several delivery options in a Career Ladder Program in Nursing. Graduates who successfully complete the first year of the program earn a certificate and are eligible to take the National Council Licensing Examination-Practical Nurse (NCLEX-PN). Those who pass the examination are entitled to practice as Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs). Graduates who successfully complete the second year of the program earn an Associate Degree in Applied Sciences and are eligible to take the National Council Licensing Examination-Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN). Those who pass the examination are entitled to practice as Registered Nurses (RNs).

Career Facts for Registered Nursing (RNs)
Nature of Work
Registered nurses (RNs) work to promote health, prevent disease, and help patients cope with illness. They are advocates and health educators for patients, families, and communities. When providing direct patient care, they observe, assess, record and report symptoms, reactions, and progress; perform treatments and examinations; start IVs; administer medications; and assist in convalescence and rehabilitation. RNs also develop and manage patient plans of care; instruct patients and their families in proper care; and help individuals and groups take steps to improve or maintain their health.
Hospital nurses form the largest group of nurses. Most are staff nurses, who provide bedside nursing care and carry out medical regimens. They also may supervise licensed practical nurses and nursing aides. Hospital nurses usually are assigned to one area, such as surgery, maternity, pediatrics, orthopedics, emergency, mental health, intensive care, or treatment of cancer patients. Some may rotate among departments. Office nurses care for outpatients in physicians' offices, clinics, surgical centers, and emergency medical centers. They prepare patients for and assist with examinations, administer injections and medications, dress wounds and incisions, assist with minor surgery, and maintain records. Some also perform routine laboratory and office work.
Nursing home nurses manage nursing care for residents with conditions ranging from a fracture to Alzheimer's disease. Although they often spend much of their time on administrative and supervisory tasks, RNs also assess residents' health condition, develop treatment plans, supervise licensed practical nurses and nursing aides, and perform procedures such as starting intravenous fluids.
Home health nurses provide periodic services to patients at home. After assessing patients' home environments, they care for and instruct patients and their families. Home health nurses care for a broad range of patients, such as those recovering from illnesses and accidents, cancer, and childbirth. They must be able to work independently, and may supervise home health aides. Other nurses work in public health, occupational health, industrial settings, research and academia.
Skills You Need
One must possess scientific knowledge, interpersonal skills, and a high energy level to succeed in nursing. The ability to communicate and interact effectively with people is essential. Nursing also requires manual dexterity to deal with the technical demands in the profession. Managerial and critical thinking skills are vital for effective organization and clinical reasoning.
Employment Prospects
Registered nursing is one of the 10 occupations projected to have the largest numbers of new jobs. Job opportunities are expected to be very good. Thousands of job openings also will result from the need to replace experienced nurses who leave the occupation, especially as the median age of the registered nurse population continues to rise.
Expected Earnings
Median annual wages of registered nurses were $62,450 in May 2008. The middle 50 percent earned between $51,640 and $76,570. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $43,410, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $92,240. Median annual wages in the industries employing the largest numbers of registered nurses in May 2008 were:
Employment services | $68,160 |
General medical and surgical hospitals | 63,880 |
Offices of physicians | 59,210 |
Home health care services | 58,740 |
Nursing care facilities | 57,060 |
Many employers offer flexible work schedules, child care, educational benefits, and bonuses. About 21 percent of registered nurses are union members or covered by union contract.
Career Facts for Licensed Practical Nursing
Nature of Work
Licensed practical nurses (LPNs), care for the sick, injured, convalescing, and handicapped, under the direction of registered nurses or physicians. (The work of registered nurses is described below.)
Most LPNs provide basic bedside care. They take vital signs such as temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and respiration. They also prepare and give injections, apply dressings, and insert catheters. LPNs observe patients and report adverse reactions to medications or treatments. They may collect samples from patients for testing and perform routine laboratory tests. They help patients with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene, feed them and record food and liquid intake and output, provide comfort measures, and care for their emotional needs. In states where the law allows, they may administer prescribed medicines or start intravenous fluids. Some LPNs help deliver, care for, and feed infants. Some experienced LPNs supervise nursing assistants and aides.
LPNs in nursing homes, in addition to providing routine bedside care, may also help evaluate residents' needs, develop care plans, and supervise nursing aides. In doctors' offices and clinics, including health maintenance organizations, they may also make appointments, keep records, and perform other clerical duties. LPNs who work in home health may also prepare meals and teach family members simple nursing tasks.
Employment Prospects
Job prospects for LPNs are expected to remain very good, as employment in health care grows much faster than it has in the past. Because of this growth, the number of new graduates needed will be well above the number graduated in recent years. Nursing homes will offer the most new jobs for LPNs.
Skills You Need
LPNs should have a caring, sympathetic nature. They should be emotionally stable because work with the sick and injured can be stressful. As part of a health care team, they must be able to follow orders and work under close supervision. One must possess scientific knowledge, interpersonal skills, and a high energy level to succeed in nursing. The ability to communicate and interact effectively with people is essential. Nursing also requires manual dexterity to deal with the technical demands in the profession. Managerial and critical thinking skills are vital for effective organization, problem solving, and coordination.
Expected Earnings
Median annual wages of licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses were $41,540 in May 2012. The middle 50 percent earned between $34,990 and $48,380. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $30,970, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $57,360. Median annual wages in the industries employing the largest numbers of licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses in May 2012 were:
Home health care services | $43,920 |
Nursing care facilities | 43,570 |
Continuing care retirement communities and assisted living facilities for the elderly |
43,540 |

The courses provide the basis for an in-depth study of the theory and nursing care of children, adults, and families. Clinical experiences include hospitals, home health care agencies, rehabilitation units, and community health organizations where students provide nursing care to mental health, medical, surgical, maternity, and pediatric patients. Students are responsible for applying beginning leadership skills in supervising members of the health team. Student learning experiences progress from simple to complex and use critical thinking skills in applying the nursing process to the care of patients. Graduates earn an Associate Degree in Applied Sciences from Lansing Community College and are eligible to take the National Council Licensing Examination - Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN). Those who pass the examination are entitled to practice as Registered Nurses (RNs).
PROGRAM DELIVERY OPTIONS (Tracks)
The Career Ladder Nursing Program offers traditional and non-traditional tracks to achieve the Practical Nurse (PN) Certificate of Achievement (Curriculum Code 0235) and/or the Registered Nurse (ADN) Associate in Applied Science Degree (Curriculum Code 0222).
Traditional Track:
- 2-year/four-semester track with classes and clinical sessions meeting mornings and/or afternoons during the fall and spring semesters. This track is designed so that the student has class 4-5 days/week and completes the program in two years.
Non-Traditional Tracks:
- 3-year/eight-semester track with classes and clinical sessions meeting mornings and/or afternoons. All semesters are 16 weeks, except the summer semesters which are 10 weeks in length. This track is designed so that the student has class 2-3 days/week and completes the program in three years. *International students with F-1 Visas are not eligible for this track. (Historically, of the four nursing tracks, the 3-Year/8-semester track has been the last choice by students. Given the current economic challenges and the trend of choosing the 3-Year/8-semester curriculum last over the other tracks, the admission cycle for the 3-Year/8-semester curriculum may change in the future. Students will be notified, prior to the selective admission deadline, of any changes.)
- Advanced standing to RN track is designed for practical nurses, respiratory therapists, and paramedics (including those who were certified as EMT-Paramedics prior to 2002) who hold unrestricted current Michigan licensure and have work experience. Classes and clinical sessions meet mornings and/or afternoons for three semesters beginning with a 10-week summer session, then continue through fall and spring semesters.
- 2nd degree accelerated track is designed for individuals who possess a Bachelor's, or higher degree, in any major. Classes and clinical sessions meet mornings and/or Afternoons and/or weekends. This track begins in mid-September, continues through spring, summer and fall, with completion in December of the next year.
Classes in all tracks meet face-to-face and some are on-line sessions. The non-traditional options consist of more hybrid classes which are a combination of face-to-face and on-line.

16. Is there a waiting list to get into your program?
No. We use a "selective admission" process based on a point system.
Students for the 2-year and 3-year tracks, who have completed admission requirements may apply to be in the applicant pool for the March 1 deadline; however seats are based on the highest point scores.
Students applying to the Advanced Standing to RN track must have all prerequisites completed by March 1st and those with the most points are awarded the seats.
The 2nd Degree track students must have all prerequisites completed by June 1st and those with the most points are awarded the available seats.
Approximately 10 students will be placed on an "alternate list" in the 2-year and 3-year tracks. The remaining students that qualified, but did not have enough points to get a seat, will be sent a letter stating they did not make the cut off and may work to earn more points and apply for admission the next year if they so choose.
17. How are the GPA points calculated?
The GPA is not your overall college GPA. It is calculated solely on the courses required for the Nursing Program. To calculate your GPA, use the worksheet provided in the Nursing Advising Guide.
18. If I am accepted, what next?
Once you are accepted, you will receive a letter inviting you to a mandatory orientation meeting. Following that orientation session, you will sign a letter of intent to either accept or decline your seat in the program.
19. Can I have a job while I am a nursing student?
Many of our students work part-time. We definitely do not recommend more than 20 hours a week. If you must work, you will need a strong support system. The expectation of the Accelerated Program is to limit all outside work.
20. What is the typical student profile of a nursing student at Lansing Community College?
The average age of a Lansing Community College nursing student is currently 28.8 years. Students range from 19 to 54 years of age. Most students are married or divorced and have children at various stages of development. More than 50% work part-time in other jobs.
21. Why should I choose an AD Nursing Program at Lansing Community College versus going directly into a BSN program?
- Cost - community colleges are less expensive.
- Learning Style - The technical nurse program is more hands-on along with theory, so you can apply what you are learning as you go.
- More Options - You have the option of exiting after one year to become an LPN or two years to become an RN -- if you can't manage two years at one time, you can exit and return within two years into the 2nd year of the program.
22. If I want to go on for a BSN at a later date, how feasible is this?
Lansing Community College's Nursing Program articulates with eight or more universities in Michigan. You can complete your BSN by completing approximately two more years at one of these institutions. A link to some of these universities is available on the Useful Links web page.
23. What might be the reasons for not choosing Lansing Community College's Nursing Program?
For the younger student, who does not have outside family responsibilities, the after class socialization is not the same as at the four year universities. College is often a "right of passage" for the late adolescent and that socialization is not a major focus of the older student in our program.
Information For Returning LPN's(Advanced Standing Track)
1. If I want to enter Lansing Community Colleges Nursing Program, do I have to start from the beginning?
You will have to meet the LPN program prerequisite course requirements. Often these will transfer from your previous college. Click here to find more information on our Advanced Standing to RN Track web page.
It is our goal to articulate the LPN into the 2nd year (3rd semester) of our program when he/she returns for his/her RN degree. All returning students are required to take NURS 210 - LPN to RN Transition 2 Course.
2. How do I enroll as an LPN articulation student?
Students who need additional advising should contact Counseling and Advising, in the Gannon Building-Suite 204, or call (517) 483-1904 for additional information. Your prior course work will be evaluated and a plan of study will be developed for you.
Enhanced Foot Assessment
This information was developed by Margherita P. Clark RN and Wendy A. Ehnis RN. We welcome inquiries or suggestions. Please feel free to contact us at either email@example.com or email@example.com.
A key component in maintaining physical independence is the promotion of regular foot care and the prevention of potentially debilitating foot injury or loss of function. Early detection and management effect a difference between limb-threatening complications and a return to full potential. Healthy feet are a prerequisite for balance and stable ambulation. Immobility can be considered a strong risk factor in predicting systemic diminution of physical and psychological health.
Role of the APN
Foot care is an integral part of optimal health maintenance; and historically a missed opportunity. Many nurses possess limited assessment skills and minimal clinical expertise in dealing with lower extremity care. Many are unaware that foot care is within the scope of nursing practice. Indeed, the ability to differentiate normal changes from pathological threat and detection of problems followed by initiation of appropriate care and ongoing patient education is integral with nursing and the promotion of health.
The value of the advanced practice nurse (APN) in providing expert knowledge, coupled with strong decision making skills, enables the APN to function in a number of roles. As a facilitator, the APN may coordinate teaching-learning opportunities that enhance reciprocal learning. The role of the advanced practice nurse in primary care is multidimensional. The American Nurses' Association's (ANA) former Council of Nurses in Advanced Practice defines the APN as (cited in Hickey, Ouimette, & Venegoni):
Nurses in advanced clinical practice have a graduate degree in nursing. They conduct comprehensive health assessments, demonstrate a high level of autonomy and expert skill in the diagnosis and treatment of complex responses of individuals, families, and communities to actual or potential health problems. They formulate clinical decision to manage acute and chronic illness and promote wellness. Nurses in advanced practice integrate education, research, management, leadership, and consultation into their clinical role and function in collegial relationships with nursing peers, physicians and others who influence the health environment (p.22). This definition clearly illustrates the multidimensional nature of the APN.
Clearly, the value of a standardized protocol for lower extremity assessment and care by nurses should not be minimized. In a study of 6 nurse practitioners, Fain & Melkus (1994) found documentation of foot exams in 23% of charts reviewed. Despite lack of written adherence, in a 1989 NIH survey, over 80% of primary care providers indicated performance of foot, neurological and circulatory exam in diabetic patients one or more times per year. Results of a 1990 study by Hempel suggest that use of a flow sheet and nurse-managed patient education clinic significantly enhances compliance and documentation to standards in a diabetic population.
Pelican et al. ( 1991 ) reports in the Journal of Gerontological Nursing, the inception of a nurse run well foot care clinic, with the development of an assessment tool, instructional videotape and informational brochure. Kelechi and Lukacs (1996), both Master's prepared nurses, recognizing foot care as an "integral part of the promotion and maintenance of health" (p. 722) have devised "comprehensive lower extremity assessment, hygiene and nursing interventions that address problems associated with toenails and skin. It also includes patient and/or caregiver education and the identification of complications that need to be referred to a physician or specialist." It is the purpose of this project to develop for practitioners an assessment and documentation protocol, along with a self-directed teaching-learning module to deliver foot care in a geriatric non-traditional setting.

Stroke Risk Factors
Anyone can have a stroke no matter your age, race or gender. But, the chances of having a stroke increase if a person has certain risk factors, or criteria that can cause a stroke. The good news is that up to 80 percent of strokes can be prevented, and the best way to protect yourself and loved ones from stroke is to understand personal risk and how to manage it. Learn interactively about more than 20 leading risk factors for stroke through the interactive risk factor tool.
There are 2 types of risk factors for stroke: controllable and uncontrollable. Controllable risk factors generally fall into two categories: lifestyle risk factors or medical risk factors. Lifestyle risk factors can often be changed, while medical risk factors can usually be treated. Both types can be managed best by working with a doctor, who can prescribe medications and advise on how to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Uncontrollable risk factors include being over age 55, being male, being African American, Hispanic or Asian/Pacific Islander, or having a family history of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).

Test your knowledge about stroke signs and symptoms with our fun, interactive games. |
To become more familiar with your personal risk for stroke, National Stroke Association developed an easy-to-use tool called a Stroke Risk Scorecard. The Scorecard provides an idea of a person's stroke risk. Once the scorecard is completed, discuss the results with a doctor, who will help assess the risk factors and help manage and/or treat any controllable risk factors. Remember: It is important to always take medications as a doctor prescribes to stay on top of stroke prevention.

Special Olympics and sports training has given Lin a life we only dreamed she could have.
Dreams to Reality. Support Special Olympics so we can give the power of sport to one more person like Lin Kornhauser. Donate now by clicking on image.
Lin Kornhauser's story is one of transformation and perseverance. She was born with very weak muscles, a baby too weak to even raise her head. Doctors did not think Lin would ever walk. Today, she participates in four sports, loves training, and has a life her parents could only dream of for her.
Lin's mother, Tali Kornhauser, does not sugarcoat any of her emotions, describing "mourning" and not knowing what to do when she first learned about her daughter's special needs. She worried about people talking and the toll on the family. When a friend told her about Special Olympics, she decided to give it a try and brought her daughter in.
Lin's journey was not easy from the beginning. Her first sport was swimming, and though now Lin swims "like a dolphin," she was initially resistant. It was a challenge for her to learn how to swim and it took a long time, nearly two years.
Over the years, the family moved several times to afford Lin the best opportunities for participation. Tali would drive nearly 2,000 miles each month to get Lin to practices. For Lin's brothers and sister, growing up having a sister with special needs was not easy, especially when having friends over. But watching Lin compete changed how they saw her. Today, Special Olympics is a family affair and everyone is involved.
Tali is on the Board of Directors of Special Olympics Israel, spearheading fundraising efforts and putting her training as an art therapist to work with athletes. Lin's dad, an orthodontist, volunteers his time to provide treatments as a part of the Healthy Athletes program. Older brother Tom helps out with graphic design, while sister Or gives speeches to raise awareness about intellectual disabilities. Youngest brother Omer volunteers and cheers at the competitions.
One of the most unforgettable moments for Tali was watching her daughter play table tennis doubles, an event that requires great coordination and quick reaction, areas that are especially challenging for Lin. "I couldn't believe my eyes. Is this my daughter? Some moments you never forget." Later Tali was chosen to award medals – and got to personally bestow her daughter with a medal.
Special Olympics has given Lin confidence, independence and friends. Lin learned skills and discipline, now is even holding a job. Today, she plays four sports and lives independently. As for Tali, she describes her daughter as a present, helping the family focus on what is important and making Tali "a better person."
Join us in changing lives of people with intellectual disabilities. Help us reach out to people like Lin who want to participate in Special Olympics. Your generosity enables Special Olympics to provide sports training, competitions, and programs that benefit athletes, families and communities.
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!
Stay in touch! See inspiring stories, photos and videos in our Special Olympics newsletter.

Reiter's syndrome is an inflammatory reaction to an infection somewhere in the body. It usually follows an infection of the urinary, genital, or digestive tract. It is treated with rest and medication.
Reiter's syndrome is triggered by certain infections. It is usually caused by the bacterium that causes chlamydia . Chlamydia is transmitted through sexual contact with an infected partner. The infection can also begin in the digestive system. In these cases, the infection occurs after eating food tainted with bacteria.
Factors that may increase your chance of getting Reiter's syndrome include:
Symptoms occur in the joints, the eyes, the urinary tract, and genitals. Men and women may experience different symptoms. In rare cases, heart problems may develop later in the disease.
In men:

Continuing the round-up of round-ups here. Clearing the table for the holidays, so to speak. Here's what spilled onto my virtual desk when I upended my digital box of electronic news and related clippings.
I Am An Activist has a nice slide show from the October 23rd tribute to Anita Roddick. Not quite sure where this site is from or what it's all about, but it's got some worthwhile features in addition to the photos. It's a nice tribute to Anita and, more importantly, it keeps her flame burning by helping us all continue her work on those causes she believed in so strongly.
Another interesting site recently stumbled upon is Playgreen, which purports to be a green wiki. The wiki thing can be a bit dangerous depending on how responsible it's users choose (or not) to be, but in general I would have to say it's a great idea that's proving it's worth. This wiki seeks to create the "biggest book on green living." Opening that process to a nation of both formal and informal green experts could yield a powerful tool. Stay tuned…

And the fact is they're losing money on this system, and it's all because of that controller. What were they thinking? Ditch the NFC, make it a pack-in for "Pokemon Snap The Revenge" and shave enough money from the controller to get better ram.
What I have yet to read is if the RAM is dual channel or not. That would take the 12.8 number that is floating about and make it 25.6, a much better number.
I just find it hard to believe that after all the complaints about how extremely underpowered the Wii was and how 3rd party devs and 'core gamers' didn't want it, that Nintendo would just go and do it all over again.

The Utes outnumber BYU 2 to 1, which is consistent with the direction both teams
are headed. And according to the article, most of BYU's NFL players are
not even in line to get significant minutes. Utah has 11 starters as compared
to BYU's 3, and Utah has 5 current Pro-Bowlers compared to BYU's 1.
It's a great time to be a Ute!!

Isn't it nice to have 3 teams in Utah that can claim the better team. It certainly will be an interesting year for each team. I do root for any team playing the Y except when the Y plays Gary Andersons team. It appears that at least one team will be on national TV a lot this Fall. I wonder if that means that the national audience wants to see one of the teams play each week. Hmmmmm...... I wonder which team that would be? Go Utes - beat your little brother down south As for the True Blue up North - Remain the best team in Utah again this year.

The only reason you Utes have more NFL players than BYU is we aren't interested in recruiting future NFL players. The reason I know this is we've never had someone that had an offer from us decline it - therefore, if we wanted players like that we'd get them. Plus future NFL players usually aren't smart enough to play at BYU. You need something like a 32 ACT and 3.9 GPA to play on the football team.

BOBBY ATKINS - I'll Go On Alone
Christian Lamitschka
No comments
BOBBY ATKINS - I'll Go On Alone
I'll Go On Alone - Mama Don't Allow - Blueside of Lonesome - A Dream Of You - Frankie and Johnny - Uncloudy Day - Ole Slewfoot - Blueberry Hill - I Might Take You Back Again - No One To Call My Own - Sugarfoot Rag - Old Homeplace
Bobby Atkins is my favorite banjo player and singer of great mountain style bluegrass music. He played banjo for Bill Monroe, and I can't think of a better way to not only remember Bill's 100th birthday with this CD, but to also honor Bobby Atkin's own son, Jason, who passed away in 2009 at age 35. Jason wrote a terrific original song included in this CD called "A Dream Of You." This entire project is a super-good CD with not only some 'classic' bluegrass songs, but a little 'rag' music as well. And when you hear "Blueberry Hill" done bluegrass style, you begin to immediately wonder, was this song written for bluegrass? Yes, I believe even Fats would say yes to that. When you hear "Slewfoot" you know you are hearing the 'real deal.' Bobby calls North Carolina home, and that's where he has his recording studio, where he produces so much of this great music. His whole family is involved with the creation of good 'traditional' bluegrass music. Like Bill Monroe, Bobby Atkins surrounds himself with the very best musicians, and this case it's his own family. He plays banjo of course and sings all the leads. Jason Atkins is on bass here, one of the last recordings he was on. Mark Atkins is on mandolin (he plays this instrument incredibly well) and also lends some vocals to lead lines as well as harmony. Danny Casstevens does rhythm and lead guitar, and joins in the vocals too. All together it becomes a terrific 'look-see' at what real bluegrass music is all about. I believe that is why North Carolina is such a hot-bed of great music and music makers. Bobby was with us when we were doing our festival in Missouri Valley, Iowa (now moved to LeMars, Iowa, Aug 27-Sept 2, 2012 www.ntcma.net) to be inducted into America's Old Time Country & Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame. The night he made his appearance, it was one of the most remarkable stage presences our upper Midwest audience had ever experienced up to that time. Bobby is also one of those musician musicians that joined right in, playing with our Midwest instrumentalists, making it a life-time remembrance they still talk about today. This CD is going to be forwarded to the Rural Roots Music Commission to see what they think of traditional bluegrass. Bobby Atkins leaves his very own imprint on every song he tackles, and that brings even more listening pleasure to this project.
You can purchase this recording direct from Thunderbolt Records, 1109 Cleburne St., Greensboro, NC 27408Bob Everhart

JT,It is ON! That is too cool that you started with a micro batch and 20 minutes of mixing. You should be able to fashion your dough into a bullet proof vest with that degree of gluten development. And to think that Scott R advised that 7 minutes is likely better than 8 minutes for my 2000+ g batch!I like the approach, start with extremes and work towards moderation. It is a very efficient way to find the sweet spot. I use similar techniques when mapping arrythmia.Really excited to see the fruits of you labor.AZ
thats a really good looking NY pie! I love the look that the sugar gives the dough. Well done!
Hey we all agree! Yes!! The only reason I make these tiny batches is b/c my wife is on some special dieting program (shhh!!!) getting ready for a cruise in a few months.
It's going to be funny seeing you try and make a pizza on the cruise over the exhaust stack while your wife is taking a picture.

About the Library
The Georgia Highlands College Libraries support the College's mission of teaching, research, and service, and provide access to resources in all formats in order to meet the curricular and intellectual needs of the Georgia Highlands College community.
Our Vision:
Treat every library patron with courtesy, dignity, and respect.
Provide the best possible library resources and services for students, faculty, staff, and the community.
In order to better meet the needs of our six GHC locations, our libraries have made many changes in recent years. Our Georgia Highlands College Libraries have more than 77,000 printed books, held at the Floyd and Cartersville Campuses, and we provide access to more than 85,000 online books that are available from any location with internet access. Through the statewide GIL Express system, our students can request almost any book held by any library in the University System of Georgia. Through InterLibrary Loan, our libraries can usually enable students to borrow books from almost any library in the world.
Other new services include access to online video databases such as Films on Demand and Theatre in Video, which provide access to over 30,000 high-quality academic videos online. These databases allow faculty and students to access videos online from any location, rather than attempting to shuffle DVDs and VHSs among multiple campus locations.
Our libraries have subscriptions to numerous print magazines, journals, and newspapers, held at the Floyd, Cartersville, and Paulding Campuses. Through GALILEO, our campuses can access nearly 37,000 additional magazine, journal, and newspaper titles. If an article is not available in our print collections or in GALILEO, our students can use InterLibrary Loan to request a copy of the article from another library.
Students will find a welcoming and helpful atmosphere at all GHC campus libraries. At the Rome, Cartersville, and Paulding Campuses, students have access to group and private study rooms, quiet study areas, high-tech conference rooms, abundant computer resources, and many additional features to enhance their learning experience. Students at the Douglasville campus will have a new library as of the Fall 2014 semester. Students on the Marietta campus will find an equally welcoming and helpful environment at the Southern Polytechnic State University Library, where librarians from both GHC and SPSU are always ready to help.
Students at any location can get help through live chat, text messaging, and social media by visiting http://ask.highlands.edu.

Thirty years later: Have the Keddie murders been solved?
{jcomments off}Joshua Sebold
The 30-year anniversary of the infamous Keddie murders is a significant moment in Plumas County history by any measure, but the milestone seems more interesting given the release of a controversial documentary in late 2010 that markets itself as including a detailed confession to the murders.
That claim itself is in many ways symbolic of the entire documentary in that it tends to lead to more questions than answers.
April 11 marked the 30th anniversary of the 1981 crime which left Glenna "Sue" Sharp, 36; John Sharp, 15; and Dana Wingate, 17, dead; and 12-year-old Tina Sharp missing. Her partial remains were discovered near Feather Falls three years later.
The most compelling pieces of the narrative in "Cabin 28: The Keddie Murders Part II" focus on a man identified only as a Vietnam veteran named Marty, who lived very near the cabin where the murders occurred, and is clearly the primary suspect in the filmmakers' view.
If Marty was the murderer, then those interested in "justice" will be disappointed to learn that he is dead.
Marty's stepson, identified only as Justin, has long been believed by many to be the only person left alive who witnessed the murders.
Justin was one of three boys - including brothers Greg Sharp, 5, and Rick Sharp, 10 - who were miraculously left unharmed literally one room away from the most horrific murder in county history.
One of the last scenes in the movie depicts Ed Case, a college professor helping Justin write a book, explaining that the potential witness recently channeled his stepfather under hypnosis and admitted that Marty and his friend Bo, who was described by several commentators as having recently exited a veterans' mental hospital, were the culprits.
This claim is complicated by the fact that the documentary reveals Justin has changed his account of the events he witnessed that night several times throughout his life, although this last account is clearly the most interesting to an average viewer.
In many ways this contradiction sums up the entire film and the climactic report of a confession that follows later and is similarly complicated.
The film includes numerous interviews and police reports connecting the man named Marty to the crime.
His stepdaughter appears onscreen describing him as a violent and unstable person who threatened or attempted to kill her mother multiple times.
"I think he did it," she explained before responding "thank God" to the information that her stepfather was now deceased.
Police reports in the film indicate that Marty's wife contacted the police after the murders, explaining she felt her husband and Bo were both involved and that Bo liked young girls.
The last accusation alludes to the fact that one of the victims, Tina Sharp, was apparently abducted while several deceased victims were left at the scene with no attempts made to hide them. (A forensic anthropologist says in the film that Tina was killed not long after she was abducted and was not held captive for years.)
Later in the film, several police reports made by local citizens claim that Tina was pregnant.
Another woman, Nina Meeks, appears on the film explaining she was a friend of the victims and of Marty.
She said Marty was staying at her house the night after the murder and kept saying he had to get back to Keddie to "finish something," before leaving at 4 a.m. when everyone had gone to bed.
Dee Lake appears next, explaining he was a Vietnam vet and counselor for many of his peers in the county, as well as a friend of Marty's.
With tears in his eyes, Lake explained Marty told him at one point the police had 30 pieces of evidence they said connected him to the crime scene and asked him what he should do.
Lake said he didn't ask if Marty had done it and told him he should get on a bus out of town because his life would never be the same either way.
He added that in his heart he felt Marty didn't do it but while taking law classes in college he learned "murder is the one thing anybody is capable of, doesn't matter who."
"There's no criteria for it. If you look back at prior histories of people who committed the crime there is no common thread. None whatsoever. Didn't have to do with what status economically you are, ethnically like, nothing."
"Somebody got stupid, did something stupid," he concluded.
A police report soon after the crimes occurred showed Lake was interviewed by police at the time and told them he didn't think Marty was involved but he suspected Bo.
The documentary also featured audio recordings of Department of Justice interviews with Marty and Bo, both of which are extremely strange, to put it mildly.
Both men focused on very inane details of their nights, which seemed odd given the largest event to occur in the last few days before the interviews was a horrific murder.
Bo told the investigators he had only been in Keddie for a month and didn't know his way around.
He went on to claim that he couldn't even point out the cabin where the murders happened, which seems absurd given the size of the community and the amount of commotion and attention the general hysteria and police presence must have generated around cabin 28.
Marty told the detectives if he was going to kill someone he would do it more efficiently and cleanly than the murderers had.
In fact he seemed more concerned about the effect of the crime on him than the fact that his neighbors had just been mutilated.
"I'm under semi-treatment for stress, anxiety myself. I certainly don't need this, you know," he told the cops in a manner that would almost be comical if it weren't so disturbing.
The film also mentions that Marty's aunt told the police she received a strange call from him, telling her his neighbors were killed and explaining the murders in graphic detail, which made her concerned that he had lost his mind and done something to his own family.
The movie hits its peak when the filmmakers explain their discovery of a police report from relatively soon after the murders, indicating a local therapist reported that a colleague in Reno told him a man named Martin confessed to committing the Keddie murders.
The filmmakers tracked down the therapist who reportedly told his friend this story and they interviewed him.
In the interview, filmed in a darkened room, a man identified by the film crew as the same man mentioned in the police report explains he had a client at a VA hospital in Reno who sat with him through several sessions and eventually told him he killed the two female victims in the incident but not the two boys.
The therapist said Martin told him he killed the mother because she was friends with his wife and had convinced his wife to leave him.
He said Martin claimed he killed the girl because she was a witness.
The therapist told the filmmakers he reported this to the Department of Justice.
This begs the obvious question: Why the police didn't respond to this seemingly important information?
Referencing the police report about the therapist, the film explained that "there was no indication" the local police ever followed up on the report by the therapist's friend.
Even in that case, though, it seems strange that the Department of Justice wouldn't have acted on the therapist's information.
How could two police agencies, one local and one federal, miss two independent opportunities to follow up on a possible confession?
When questioned about this claim, the Plumas County Sheriff's Office allowed this reporter to view a later report, which appeared to be related to the first one.
The report indicated the therapist was interviewed by the Department of Justice in reaction to the original report.
The document explained the therapist told investigators he spoke with Martin several times but the vet never admitted to the killings, essentially denying that he told his friend he received a confession.
The report indicated Martin's wife called the therapist after the murders saying she thought Martin committed them but that Martin denied this later.
There is no way to know if the filmmakers somehow missed this second report or why it wasn't included in the film, but it seems to significantly blur the picture presented in the film.
We are left with three pieces of evidence: a report indicating a friend of a therapist was told that a confession occurred, a report indicating the therapist told the police there was no confession, and a modern-day interview with the therapist saying he did receive a confession and told the authorities about it.
Making matters more confusing, the filmmakers reported they had a falling-out with some members of the sheriff's office during the final stages of making the film, while the sheriff's office responds that the filmmakers rushed the documentary out before taking the time to consider all the information.
What began as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - a documentary film crew given the chance by a sheriff's department to have unprecedented access to the files related to an infamous case - has in many ways become a symbol of the convoluted and tragic mess the unsolved mystery has always represented in this county.
One would hope that time would make the case clearer rather than muddier, but for now this film is a mirror image of the Keddie murders themselves: depressing, messy and yet strangely captivating, a reflection of the type of confusing tragedy that many people simply can't turn their eyes away from, even though it seems to be one of those events we will never be able to truly make sense of no matter how closely we look.

Gallery: Milan Designersblock: Modern Design with Tradition in Mind
A group of 10 designers lived for a week in the woods of Herefordshire working together in an outdoor workshop where each designed and fabricated their own greenwood chair.
The first thing that catches your eye as soon as you enter the space is Assembly Room's furniture pieces made from eco-friendly materials. The AR line includes a two and three-seater sofa that blend the design styles of the past and present. One particular stunner is the AR004 design, a lightweight stackable chair created with FSC certified wood and 100% pure wool that is both renewable and compostable.
Johan Lindstén's Idyll Concept plays with the bittersweet emotions of dreaming through embroidery. Women of older generations used to stitch beautiful scenery that has since been forgotten, thrown away or left under-appreciated. This set of chairs mixes traditional home craft with contemporary design to create a vehicle to bring this art form back into play.
