Winter Customs
Switzerland has a multitude of customs and traditions that bring a welcome touch of warmth and light to the cold, dark months of winter. One of the reasons why more festivals are held at this time of year is because winter tends to be a relatively quiet time for the farming community.
Advent and Christmas
Advent is the period beginning on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Eve, historically seen as the preparation for the Birth of Christ. In the past, these four weeks were used to teach children the virtue of patience – hence the development of the advent calendar, which comprises 24 little flaps opening on to windows depicting scenes from the Nativity. Advent calendars are very much a part of the Swiss Christmas tradition, as is the Advent crown which has four candles, one for each of the Sundays of Advent (on the first Sunday, one candle is burnt, on the second, two are lit, and so on).
In Switzerland, snow may not always be a sure thing at Christmas time. What is, though, is an impressive assortment of festivals and traditional celebrations which are enjoyed by everyone, regardless of their religious beliefs. There are Christmas parades where many a reveller enjoys a warming glass of mulled wine, church services, special concerts and carol singing. Indeed, Switzerland has a particularly rich and diverse tradition of carol singing due to its position at the heart of Europe and its multilingual status. But, as in other countries, many children in Switzerland now associate Christmas more with the arrival of Santa Claus than the birth of Jesus.
Trychle in Meiringen
Midnight on 25 December heralds the start of a rambunctious procession through Meiringen and neighbouring villages in the Bernese Oberland, which will take place every evening up to and including New Year's Eve. With large cowbells ("Trychler") strapped to their chest or carrying drums, masked locals march through the streets trying to make as much noise as possible in a bid to ward off evil spirits.
Silvesterkläuse in Urnäsch
The "Silvesterkläuse" is a tradition that is almost entirely confined to the Urnäsch area of Appenzell Ausserrhoden. The best-known "Kläuse" wear female or male masks and costumes with huge cowbells back and front and carry enormous headdresses.
They go from farmhouse to farmhouse, wishing the families a Happy New Year. The tradition dates back to 1852 and the reform of the old Julian calendar by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, which was rejected by the mostly Protestant people of Appenzell. This is why the Silvesterkläuse celebrate on 13 January, the date of New Year according to the Julian calendar.
Epiphany and star singing
"Star singing" is a widespread custom which is practiced, mostly by children, from the last week of Advent to Epiphany (6 January). It takes its name from the star that the singers carry, representing the star that guided the three wise men to Bethlehem. The children, some dressed as the magi, go from door to door, parade through the streets or simply stand in the village square, while they sing a series of carols and hymns.
Vogel Gryff in Kleinbasel
Kleinbasel, the part of Basel on the right bank of the Rhine, provides the setting for the Vogel Gryff festival. The date of the festival rotates according to a three-year cycle between 13,20 and 27 January.
At the centre of the festival are three heraldic figures, the "Vogel Gryff" (griffin), the "Wild Maa" (wild man) and the "Leu" (lion), who dance in the streets of the town. Festivities begin with the Wild Maa floating down the Rhine on a raft, where he is joined by his companions. All three take care always to dance with their backs to the left bank – a show of disdain for their rich neighbours of Grossbasel. These heraldic figures represent the former honourable societies of Kleinbasel, which performed mainly political and military functions. Festivities end with a celebratory dinner and dancing in the town.
From 3 February to Ash Wednesday masked "Tschäggätta" parade through the villages of the Lötschental in the canton of Valais. These masked figures get their name from the black and white colour of the goat or sheep skin tunics that they traditionally wear ("tschäggätta" means piebald in the local dialect).
The tradition was originally a courtship ritual practiced only by the local bachelors. Times have changed and now anyone can join in. For the deeply religious inhabitants of the Lötschen valley, these distinctive and somewhat demonic-looking masks represented anarchy, rebellion and chaos.
Carnival, or Fastnacht as it is known in German-speaking Switzerland, heralds the end of winter and is celebrated across the country. However, the timing of these extravaganzas varies from one canton to the next. The Basel and Lucerne carnivals are the biggest and best known carnivals. This ancient tradition is a blend of Christian rites, secular folk customs and pagan spring festivals. In some cantons, carnival is based around the pagan custom of using demonic looking masks to chase away evil spirits. Masks and costumes help people take on a new identity while they parade through the streets, often playing musical instruments.
Basel carnival (Fasnacht) is one of the most extravagant traditions in Switzerland. At 4 am precisely the Morgestraich begins, heralding the start of festivities in the city on the Rhine. The streetlights are switched off, throwing the city centre into darkness. Soon the stirring sound of piccolos and drums are heard, and a motley crowd of masked and costumed figures burst into view.
The Basel Fasnacht tradition dates back to the 14th century and is held on the Monday following Ash Wednesday. After the dawn procession, festivities continue throughout the day, much in the same vein, with music, processions and plenty of noise. In the evening cafés and restaurants provide a forum for the "Schnitzelbänke", a collection of satirical verses and songs on local political issues.
Lucerne carnival also dates back to the Middle Ages. Its central figure is Brother Fritschi, a legendary historical figure from the city's history and a symbol of fertility. Carnival begins with the arrival of Brother Fritschi on the Thursday before Lent at 5 am. In the afternoon of "Dirty Thursday", as the day is called locally, a masked and fancy dress parade makes its way through the city.

Keeping your car running smoothly is always important, but never more so than in tight economic times.
You want to avoid huge repair bills or having to buy an entirely new car, but you don't want to break the bank paying for the basic upkeep of your car, either.
With that in mind, here are some basic tips that will help you find a good deal and drive away in a safe, dependable vehicle.
Shop around
In its April 2009 issue, Consumer Reports notes that when its editors called around to check up on the cost of a 60,000-mile checkup for a 2004 Ford Explorer, they were quoted prices that varied by as much as $252, even among Ford dealers in the same area.
Consumer Reports was quoted prices of $400, $499 and $589 by Ford dealerships in the New York City metro area. In Los Angeles, the same service drew quotes ranging from $338 to $590.
"Basically, you're dialing for dollars," said Mike Quincy, auto content specialist for Consumer Reports.
Coupons and deals
With all the coupons out there, it can become easy to get lost in the "labyrinth of auto repair," as Tom Torbjornsen, a veteran of nearly 40 years in the auto service industry and a blogger for AOL Autos, calls it.
"Automotive advertising and marketing is drowning the marketplace with excessive mailings, Internet ads, television ads and newspaper ads," he says. "Everyone is having a big sale."
But, before throwing up your hands and tossing those coupons in the garbage, take a close look at them. If they are offered by a reputable shop you feel you can trust, it can't hurt to save a few bucks. Just make sure you're not choosing a shop only because they are offering a "special price" that week.
Most people realize AAA offers roadside assistance, but not many people know AAA members also can save 10 percent on labor at many AAA-approved repair shops. Members can also save on most parts and accessories at some auto parts stores.
Importance of estimates
You can also save money if you get a copy of a repair estimate before you authorize repairs. These estimates should have all the necessary parts listed, as well as their prices.
Take it to a local auto-parts store and have a look at the pricing. It should be approximately the same.
Ladies, this is a good idea for all of you who've heard the horror stories about women never getting a fair shake with repair shops. If they've over-quoted you for parts, go back, get your car, and call the Better Business Bureau.
Warranties and recalls
Make certain that the needed repairs aren't under warranty or subject to a recall in the past few years before you sign off on a repair bill.
The best place to find out if your car or car parts have been recalled is www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov.
Proper maintenance
The importance of keeping your car properly maintained cannot be stressed enough.
The mantra of the automotive industry doesn't exist simply to keep you coming back for oil filters; your car or truck needs regular care to keep it working properly.
Skimping on things such as occasional chassis lubes and oil changes can reap major repairs or even replacement of the vehicle much sooner than the ordinary useful life of the vehicle would warrant.
"There are minimum things you have to do with your car. If you put them off, it will cost you more in the long run," Quincy said.

My ongoing work with laminated optical glass is as much about solving a puzzle as it is about the finished form. When starting a new piece, I often begin by playing with laminated color blocks. I build each piece slowly often changing the color, location or direction of the lamination and the shape of the piece. It's a complicated process but, walking around one of my evolving sculptures, I am energized by the way the tones move, forming colors that blend, disappear and reappear. It is this precise manipulation of color and form -- one influencing the other - that takes me to the coffee pot and then the studio first thing in the morning. You could say I am a minimalist at heart, striving for simplicity while exploring the effects of movement and form on light and color.

Manchester alderman urges review of police phone use
Linstad acknowledged during his testimony that he had deceived his wife for nearly four years by communicating and exchanging photos, e-mails and text messages with other women on his work phone.
"It's not against the rules," Linstad testified.
"I am not sure how other members of this board feel about the use of phones by Manchester police officers, but this statement causes me a lot of concerns, both financially and legally," Alderman-at-Large Joseph Kelly Levasseur wrote in a letter to fellow aldermen.
"The phones issued to members of the Community Police Division are on plans where they aren't capable of sending texts or pictures," said Mara. "There are a few people in the building that are issued smart phones, but the phones we are talking about here aren't capable of doing those things. The testimony covers talking with the woman using a work phone."
Mara said Friday he was not aware if Linstad had reimbursed the city for the minutes used when contacting women on a personal basis.

Texas Football 2015 News and Updates
2014 Season
10/31/14 - In what has been a difficult 2014 season filled with injuries, suspensions, and a new system of discipline instilled by head coach Charlie Strong, your Longhorns have hung tough in the rugged Big 12. Texas has been competitive against top 15 teams like UCLA, Baylor, and Oklahoma, and just picked up a key victory against Texas Tech, which keeps their hopes of bowl eligibility intact. Texas Longhorns Football needs your help to secure a bowl berth. With remaining home contests against #20 West Virginia and #7 TCU, your Longhorns can finish their regular season on a high note with wins against these Big 12 rivals. Cheer the Longhorns on to victory by coming out to Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium for these last two home contests of the 2014 season.
… more
9/17/14 - The Texas Longhorns have duplicated last year's slow start, racking up a 1-2 record to start the season. Texas demonstrated a dominant victory over North Texas in Week 1, but dropped both of their following bouts, versus BYU and UCLA, immediately after. It's not such a bad thing if Texas is fated for deja-vu of last season, as the team picked themselves back up and surged into the the Alamo Bowl. Score Texas Longhorns tickets for their first road game of the season and watch your squad duel the Kansas Jayhawks for as low as $24 on 9/27.
8/6/14 – Texas Longhorns Football will kick off in less than 30 days! Players suited up on Monday for camp and Charlie Strong addressed the media for the first time this fall. The first year head coach confirmed his dismissal of five players and the suspension of three more indefinitely: running back/receiver Daje Johnson, offensive tackle Desmond Harrison and safety Josh Turner will hit the bench for at least the first game of the year. Strong is certainly showing his disciplinary
as he whips his squad into shape with less than 30 days left until their season opener. Buy Texas Longhorns Football tickets now for their Aug. 30 game against the North Texas Mean Green Football. Get a first look at the Strong-era team for as little as $50 and start the 2014 college football season right!
7/20/14 – Big 12 Conference media days are set to kick off in Dallas on Monday, and no team will be under the microscope so much as the Texas Longhorns. First year head coach Charlie Strong will be flanked by running back Malcolm Brown, cornerback Quandre Diggs, offensive lineman Dominic Espinosa and defensive end Cedric Reed to face the college football media circus. Everyone knows the real questions are answered on the football field, and perhaps no bigger test will come than the showdown against Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl. Buy Oklahoma Sooners vs. Texas Longhorns tickets and be there to witness the Red River Rivalry game; tickets average $479.59 on Oct. 11.
6/25/14 – Looking for some excellent non-conference NCAAF games to attend this year? Get your Texas Longhorns tickets now! The first of the two can't-miss matches comes on Sept 6, when the Texas hosts BYU in the second game of the year. Not only did BYU beat them 40-21 last year, but the school will be playing for the opportunity to be considered a Power Five-level playoff-worthy team. Just a week later, the Longhorns will face UCLA in Arlington, and with all the changes made since Charlie Strong's debut, scoring a W against the favored Pac-12 visitors would make quite a statement indeed. The Texas-BYU game (9/6) offers a $58 minimum, which is far cheaper than the Texas-UCLA game (9/13) which starts at a $97 minimum.
6/13/14 – Some big blows were dealt to the Texas Longhorns' recruiting efforts last week, including the defection of three prospects (5-star WB Kyle Murray, 4-star WR Kemah Siverand, 3-star DT Kingsley Keke) to rival A&M. Still, Texas generally maintains its loaded roster, though the quarterback situation is rather uncertain: redshirt junior David Ash is a likely starter, but his health following 2013 concussions and a recent broken foot will leave him out for the next month. Texas desperately needs the experience of Tyrone Swoopes or a spark from true freshman Jerrod Heard as backups this year. Senior running back Malcolm Brown will be a workhorse this year, while Cedric Reed is key to taking Longhorns' defense to the next level. Score Texas Longhorns tickets and see how incoming coach Charlie Strong fares in the face of one of the toughest schedules in the nation!
6/5/14 – The Longhorns are backed by the nation's most dedicated fan base which has contributed to Texas' net worth (almost 20% more than any other team in the Country), lucrative TV deals, massive merchandise sales, and of course, the high price of Texas Longhorns football tickets. At an average price of $272, the Longhorns boast the third most expensive NCAA Football ticket behind Ohio State (avg. $342) and Georgia (avg. $284). Two offsite home games – vs. UCLA at AT&T Stadium (avg. $747) and vs. Oklahoma at Cotton Bowl Stadium (avg. $468) – are contributing to the higher prices. Football games in Austin are a much more affordable $119 on average to see North Texas, BYU, Baylor, Iowa State, West Virginia, and TCU at Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium.
5/20/14 – For the first time since 1937, a Texas Longhorn football player was not selected in the NFL Draft. However, Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Jackson Jeffcoat will get his chance in Seattle as a free agent. The Longhorns will have a fresh start this year under new head coach Charlie Strong who saw three of his former Louisville players taken in the first round. 100 days out from the start of the 2014 College Football season and things are heating up in Austin. Moving away from USC graduate transfer quarterback Max Wittek, Texas will revisit their QB situation. Find out who gets the job with Texas Longhorns tickets, averaging $164 following Spring ball (fourteenth most expensive in the NCAA).
4/22/14 – The Texas Longhorns football schedule is highlighted by two "neutral" site games: 9/13 against the UCLA Bruins at AT&T Stadium (min. $132) and 10/11 versus the Oklahoma Sooners at Cotton Bowl Stadium (min. $210). The newly named AT&T Red River Showdown is one of the grandest traditions in all of college football; Texas leads the all-time series 60-43-5 heading into the 109th meeting between the two teams. Four Big 12 teams will visit Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium this season: Baylor, Iowa State, West Virginia, and TCU. Join Texas' first-year football coach Charlie Strong and the Longhorns as they look to improve on last year's 8-5 season and come on strong!
2/4/14 - The Texas Longhorns made history this year, when they announced Charlie Strong as their first African-American head football coach, taking place of Mack Brown. The Longhorns were likely to secure the Big 12's best recruiting class, with 22 commitments and seven 4-star prospects, but in the last two weeks, numerous have uncommitted and hurt the roster. Texas has also lost three starters from the O-line, senior QB Case McCoy, and it's unsure whether QB David Ash will return from a season-ending concussion sustained last year. Luckily, there are no early entrees into the NFL Draft from the Longhorns, which means the new coach will get back some of the best players in the Big 12: including DE Cedric Reed, RB Malcom Brown and CB Quandre Diggs (all were draft-eligible). Keep up with the Longhorns and see how this new coaching staff fares this offseason!
2013 Season
11/6/13- The Texas Longhorns share first place in the Big 12, and with
, they are the only undefeated teams left in their division. With Texas' recent trouncing of the
Kansas Jayhawks
(12-35), the team is bowl-eligible for their third-consecutive season! The Burnt Orange Nation will most likely be paying a trip to a non-BCS bowl game, as Baylor is favored to run away with the Big 12 title to the
Fiesta Bowl
. First, Texas will have to get through
West Virginia
and tough contenders
Oklahoma State
Texas Tech
. The Longhorns will play their final game in Waco against
in-state rivals Baylor
, at the close of regular season—obviously tickets are hot for this match, starting at $42 and up to $472 for Club Seats!
Texas Longhorns Football 2015 Season
2014 Season
There's a new sheriff in town at Austin, where the Texas Longhorns will welcome new head coach Charlie Strong. Strong replaces longtime coach Mack Brown, who had just one losing season in his tenure as Horns head coach. Strong arrives from Louisville, where he turned the Cardinals into perennial big East title contenders. Also in Strong'c coaching resume is significant time in multiple stints on the coaching staff of Florida, where he ultimately assisted then-Gator head coach Urban Meyer (now at Ohio State) to a pair of BCS national championships.

2013 Season
Longhorns fans in Austin are hoping for the season that Phil Steele is predicting for their team – an undefeated year and a Big 12 Championship. There is no doubt that the Texas Longhorns have built a talented roster after returning their QB David Ash, top two receivers in Mike Davis and Jaxon Shipley, and all five offensive linemen. Mack Brown and play caller Major Applewhite will return to an up tempo offense that proved beneficial against the Oregon State Beavers in the
Alamo Bowl
last season.
The 2013 season will not be a winning one without a victory against rival Oklahoma Sooners. Last year the Longhorns lost the Red River Rivalry game by 42 points. The Texas Longhorns vs.
Oklahoma Sooners football
game is averaging $446 at the
Cotton Bowl
, more than double the cost of any other game on the Texas Longhorns football schedule. The second priciest game for the Longhorns squad will be their last at
Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium
this season – Texas Longhorns vs.
Texas Tech Red Raiders Football
. Longhorns tickets for the Big 12 rivalry game start at $90 and average $192. Overall, Longhorns football tickets are averaging $186 over seven home games, the highest of any Big 12 university. Not surprising considering the rich history of Texas football and the program. Texas Longhorns tickets are twelfth most expensive in the nation, the same ranking that Texas received in ESPN's future rankings which gauges the likelihood of success for the next three seasons.

New Book by Museum Anthropologist
by AMNH on
Located high up in the Andes Mountains of Peru, the now-deserted Inka city of Huánuco Pampa was a place of festivals, attracting tens of thousands of visitors from the surrounding area. Only a few hundred people lived in the city year-round, working to prepare the massive complex for religious and political social functions. This unique urban center is explored in a book recently released as a volume of the Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History.
The Hayden Letters
by AMNH on
In 1950, the Museum's Hayden Planetarium began accepting reservations for the first trip into space as part of a publicity campaign for its exhibition Conquest of Space. Letters poured in from around the world with requests to book trips to the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and beyond, capturing the public's passion and curiosity for space exploration. One would-be space traveler even drew detailed diagrams of how he would get to space, what he would wear, and where he would live—appearing to anticipate some of the designs highlighted in Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration.
Stray Western Hummingbird Visits the Museum's Flowers
by AMNH on
Earlier this week, a crowd gathered around the shrubbery at the Museum's 81st Street entrance.
They were looking for a Western hummingbird that found its way to the Museum grounds. Noah Burg of the Museum's Education Department first spotted the stray on Wednesday, though it may have been there for several days.
Researchers Create the Largest Seed Plant Tree of Life
by AMNH on
Working with colleagues at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, the New York Botanical Garden, and New York University, Museum scientists have created the largest genome-based tree of life for seed plants. Their findings plot the evolutionary relationships of 150 different species of plants based on advanced genome-wide analysis of gene structure and function. This new approach, called "functional phylogenomics," allows scientists to reconstruct the pattern of events that led to the vast number of plant species we see today and could help identify genes used to improve seed quality for agriculture.
The research, performed by members of the New York Plant Genomics Consortium, was funded by the National Science Foundation Plant Genome Program to identify the genes that caused the evolution of seeds, a trait of important economic interest.
Studying Massive Supernovas at AMNH
by AMNH on
The fifth floor of the Rose Center for Earth and Space is home to the Museum's Department of Astrophysics, which includes a research group of two dozen graduate students, research scientists, and postdocs. Michael Shara, curator of the new exhibition Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration, is one of three curators in the department. Below is the first in a series of features on the curators' areas of research.
Curator Michael Shara studies stellar populations in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies. Over the last decade, he has focused on stars known as Wolf-Rayets—hot, ephemeral bodies that start their lives 20 to 80 times more massive than the Sun and then shed much of that mass over a lifespan of a few hundred thousand years until they explode as Type 1b or 1c supernovae, which occur when a massive star's core collapses. There are now 600 Wolf-Rayet stars known in the Milky Way, an 80 percent increase since 2006. Shara's team has found and characterized the majority of them. His "best" and rarest specimens are from the far side of the Milky Way, which is still terra incognita to astronomers.

The secret to repeating a success is knowing how you achieved it. It's also the best way to answer questions about how your COPS grant helped you get there. COPS works closely with the Office of the Comptroller (OC) and Office of the Inspector General (OIG) to make sure that grantees meet their grants' programmatic and financial obligations. Here at COPS, our programs enjoy a very high rate of compliance, and we plan to maintain that. We provide tools like fact sheets, Grant Owner's Manuals, and this website to keep grantees informed about every aspect of what we do.
This section contains more detailed explanations of the tools the COPS Office uses to monitor grants and grantees. Our goal is to make our processes clear so that grantees know what to expect and are always prepared. If you have any more detailed questions, please consult the appropriate COPS Grant Owner's Manual or contact the COPS Grant Monitoring Division at 800.421.6770.

Indianapolis, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - IndyCar officials announced on Monday that they are exploring a prospective Verizon IndyCar Series race at NOLA Motorsports Park in Avondale, La., a suburb of New Orleans.
The race -- the IndyCar Grand Prix of Louisiana -- would be organized by Andretti Sports Marketing. NOLA Motorsports Park, a 2.75-mile, 16-turn road course, is located approximately 15 miles southwest of downtown New Orleans. The track opened in 2011.
A separate announcement of the potential IndyCar event was made by Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and NOLA Motorsports Park owner Laney Chouest at the track.
According to a news release from IndyCar, the State of Louisiana, upon approval by its Legislature, will commit $4.5 million to make necessary enhancements to the racetrack in support of the event. This investment, combined with private funding from NOLA Motorsports Park, will help facilitate track and facility improvements as required by IndyCar.
"We're delighted by this broad show of support and encouraged by the prospect of a Verizon IndyCar Series race in New Orleans," said Mark Miles, CEO of Hulman and Company, the parent of IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "We greatly appreciate Laney Chouest, his associates at NOLA and the State of Louisiana for their efforts to make enhancements to NOLA Motorsports Park.
"With these improvements, we're confident that NOLA can meet our standards for safety, fan experience and quality of racing. We look forward to continuing this dialogue in hopes of making New Orleans a destination that may soon host a Verizon IndyCar Series event."
The race would be part of a three-day festival that includes live musical acts, entertainment and local food.
"This is great news for our entire state," Gov. Jindal said. "A three-day event would allow us to show off the excitement of an IndyCar Series race right here in Louisiana as well as our state's culture, entertainment and food. This event would be a great economic driver for our state and a great weekend for the whole family."
This coming Saturday, IndyCar is running on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's 2.434-mile, 14-turn road course for the first time. The Indianapolis 500, which is the most prestigious race of the IndyCar season, is scheduled for May 25.

Course Grading Scale | 90-100 = A 80-89 = B 75-79 = C 60-74 = D Below 60 = F | ||||||||||||
Determination of Final Grade |
The grade for the clinical course consists of two components: (1) Written work/computer assignments which is given a numerical grade and (2) Clinical performance which is graded as S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory). A student must achieve a minimum average of 74.5% or greater on written work and an "S" on clinical performance to pass the course. The grade received on the written work will be the grade assigned for the course on the transcript provided the student has a satisfactory on clinical performance. Students with an unsatisfactory for clinical performance will receive a grade of "F" for the course regardless of the numerical grade on the written work. Failure to have completed written objectives for specialty areas by date of rotation will result in a grade of "0" and denial of specialty rotation. THIS CAN RESULT IN FAILURE OF CLINICALS The student must pass a written medication administration competency evaluation with a minimum score of 90. The student will have three opportunities to achieve a minimum score of 90. Students who do not achieve a minimum score of 90 by the third medication administration exam will not be allowed to continue in either VNSG 1463 or VNSG 1510. If more than one medication administration exam is required, the average will be used for determination of the medication administration exam grade for VNSG 1463. Clinical evaluations are completed twice each semester (mid term and end of semester). Evaluations will include student's ability to apply theory in practice, demonstrate competent patient care, and maintain a professional demeanor at all times when in the clinical area. Evaluations are done by the clinical instructor with input from staff at affiliating agency, patients and others as appropriate. Students will sign the evaluation. Their signature attests to the fact that the evaluation conference occurred. It does not signify agreement with the evaluation. Students are given an opportunity to comment in writing on the evaluation. A student's unsatisfactory mid semester clinical evaluation while in the program permits continuation in the program with continued emphasis on upgrading deficiencies. The student's unsatisfactory clinical evaluation at the end of the semester results in a clinical course grade of "U" and prohibits further continuation in the program. Students who fail a nursing course may repeat it once. Students must receive a satisfactory (S) in clinical and achieve a 75 course grade in the mandatory co-requisite course to progress in the program. Students who fail VNSG 1510 Nursing in Health and Illness III and/or VNSG 1330 Maternal-Neonatal Nursing and repeat the course(s) may also be required to repeat the clinical co-requisite course. All courses listed in a given semester of the program must be completed prior to progressing to the next semester. Each didactic and co-requisite clinical course, as listed for each semester, is a prerequisite for the nursing courses listed in the subsequent semester(s), and must be satisfactorily completed prior to graduating from the nursing program. Students are required to complete written objectives prior to reporting to nursery, post partum and Labor & Delivery. Failure to do so may result in the student being sent home and counted as clinically absent. Objectives for specialty areas may be found in the clinical notebook. Written assignments are to be turned in when due. Assignments will be given to and graded by the instructor to whom the student is assigned on due date. Requirements for level III clinical are: total of two case studies ( 1) Medical-Surgical and (1) Post Partum Case Study. Labor & Delivery, Post Partum, Nursery, ICU, and Mental Health objectives. Other assignments include professional resume and attire day and clinical portfolio. Case study grading criteria-A rubric will be utilized by the instructor for grading the case studies. Any section of the rubric the student receives a '0' (zero) in must be corrected for the student to receive the assigned grade. Corrections must be completed within one week of receiving the case study from the instructor. If the case study is not returned in one week with corrections, a '0' (zero) will be given for the case study. If a student scores less than 75 on a case study, the student should meet with the faculty to determine strategies to improve performance on subsequent case studies. The grade is determined as follows: Medication Competency (average) grade Medical-Surgical Case Study grade OB Case Study grade L&D Objectives grade Post Partum Objectives grade Nursery Objectives grade Resume/professional attire grade Clinical Portfolio grade Total/9 =Course grade Students must have a 75 average and a satisfactory rating on the clinical evaluation tool to pass the course. |

Copyright Violations |
Some material in this course may be copyrighted. They may be used only for instructional purposes this semester,
by students enrolled in this course. These materials are being used fairly and legally.
No one may distribute or share these copyrighted materials in any medium or format with anyone outside this class,
including publishing essays with copyrighted material, uploading copyrighted material to Facebook or YouTube, or
painting or performing copyrighted material for public display.
Copyright violation is not the same thing as plagiarism. Plagiarism is intellectual dishonesty. Offenses of plagiarism result in lower grades or failing scores, and professors and the college strictly enforce plagiarism rules. There is never any acceptable use of plagiarism. Copyright violation is a legal offense, punishable by large fines and penalties. Copyrighted material can be used if permission from the material's creator is obtained, or if its use meets the standards of fair use in an educational setting. For example, a student can quote a line from Shakespeare's Hamlet in a report without violating copyright but still be guilty of plagiarism if the quotation is not properly documented. If you are in doubt about what material can be freely used, ask your professor or contact the Dean of Library Services, at (409) 984-6216. |
Assessment Statement |
Assessment is a process by which LSCPA can help you learn better and gauge the level of progress you have made to
attain knowledge, skills, beliefs, and values. It also helps your professors understand how to improve teaching
and testing methods in your classes, and it helps each department understand and improve degree and certificate
Periodically LSC-PA will collect assessment data for research and reporting purposes, including statistical data and sometimes copies of your work. Be assured that all material the college uses for assessment purposes will be kept confidential. To ensure anonymity, your name will be removed from any material we use for assessment purposes, including video-recorded performances, speeches, and projects. If you object to allowing LSC-PA to use your material for assessment purposes, submit a letter stating so to your professor by the 12th class day. You will still be required to participate in whatever assessments are being done; we just won't use your data. What's the difference between assessment and grades? The grades you get on papers, projects, speeches, and assignments are specific types of focused assessment. LSC-PA's assessment efforts include class grades, surveys, standardized tests, and other tools. |
Privacy Notice |
Federal privacy laws apply to college students. This means that college employees, including instructors, cannot
divulge information to third parties, including parents and legal guardians of students. Even if the students are
minors, information about their college work cannot be shared with anyone except in very limited circumstances.
Anyone requesting information about a student should be referred to the Registrar. Instructors will be notified in writing by that Office about what information may be released and to whom. Please remember that releasing private information about a student, however innocuous it may seem, can be a violation of federal law, with very serious consequences. Circumstances under which information may be released:
An adult student may submit, to the Registrar, a handwritten, signed note granting permission for release of
information. The note must specify what information may be divulged, and it must specify the name of the person
to whom the information may be given.
The Registrar's office is located in the Student Center room 303B, and can be reached at (409) 984-6165. |

Oh did I spy a bunnie power sled?
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey arrives in theaters December 14th, 2012.
What's wrong with that, my last sled was bunny powered and it ran for years. Only had to take short breaks for the bunnies to "get busy". Yea that's Radagast. I have a feeling his character isn't going to be a wise wizard.
Huh, looks as bad ass as the last trailer. Can't wait! I all ready have my pre-oder tickets for the mid-night launch of the movie. SSSWEEEEEEEEEET! :D
I hope all my fellow Maniacs had a great Turkey Day! Happy Holidays my fellow nerds, comic geeks, and movie freaks!
I think we should all boycott this new "Hobbit" movie so that the rights revert to Marvel!!! ;)
i wonder if we put all the tv spots and trailer together there it is why go watch it? besides this looks like shit to me, and i bet the movies will be almost 3 hours long of crap.
@almost, no not joking it's rare for me to hate and i always bash on haters, and i don't care what anyone says bout my coment. simply put i have "0" %, interest in this. some how i don't feel the same from when i watched LOTR,. maybe just maybe might watch it when it comes out on red box or late night on skinamax some time in a feew years from now. that's if the MAYANS got it wrong and we are all still here on earth.. just not interested..
That's cool, to each there own, though I am confused how someone can like LOTR and not be at all interested in this. I could see not being as excited as this story is no where near as epic, but to have zero interest just shocked me.
