Preparation for Critical and Progressive Care Certification:
Linking Academics and Practice
By Catherine Nosek, PhD, RN, and Roberta Bumann, MSN, RN
Winona State University Department of Nursing
Nurses who were instrumental in developing the CCRN Certification Review Course are (from left) Catherine Nosek, Karlene Olson and Roberta Bumann.
Sparking an Interest
How can academics and practicing nurses work together to enhance knowledge of critical and progressive care nursing practice? How does a new academic course come to fruition? In mid-November 2005, Karlene Olson, MS, RN, from Mayo Clinic-Rochester Minnesota, contacted the Winona State University (WSU) Department of Nursing. She explained that her nursing unit was planning to apply for the Beacon Award for Critical Care Excellence. In an effort to support nursing staff seeking national certification, she asked us about developing a course to prepare nurses for the adult CCRN certification exam, and that was just the beginning!
Getting Started and Obtaining Support
Offering a new academic course requires more than just an expressed interest. It requires faculty expertise, administrative and departmental support, funding for development and enough interest from nurses to make the course economically feasible. With our combined critical care experience of more than 49 years, we jumped at the chance to develop a specialized course for adult critical care nurses. The goal was to offer the course beginning in the spring semester 2006. Since only three weeks remained in the fall semester 2005, time was of the essence if the proposal, funding support and recruitment were to happen.
With a grant from the Center for Integrated Health Science Education and Practice (CIHSEP), we developed a proposal for a two-credit semester course called "CCRN Certification Review Course." The CIHSEP supports projects that create a collaborative model of engagement for health science education and practice, as well as increase the quality and sustainability of healthcare education and practice. Using the AACN Synergy Model for Patient Care and certification exam test plans established by AACN Certification Corporation, the course was designed to meet knowledge requirements for practice and/or certification in adult critical care nursing. Initial course design included classroom time with e-learning support. By January 2007, 36 critical care nurses had registered. After they completed the course, they took the adult CCRN examination.
Achieving Success and Expanding an Idea
How was the course received by the nurses? How many nurses passed the exam? Feedback and evaluation data indicated overwhelming satisfaction with the course and preparation for the CCRN examination. Comments from nurse managers and physicians have indicated a positive change in the way RNs who participated in the course practice critical care nursing. Thirty-two RNs took the CCRN certification examination with a 97% pass rate; evidence that the course was successful. The evaluation data, interest in future offerings and the personal experience of teaching the course provided us with the incentive and evidence for course development.
Based on evidence, interest and additional CIHSEP support, the course was revised to include progressive care content and thus increase enrollment. The redesign was also intended to supplement elective course requirement options for WSU RN-BSN degree students, or nurses interested in satisfying CERP requirements. With a new title "Advanced Critical and Progressive Care Nursing," the course was offered for a second time during spring semester 2007.
Reaching Out
Interest continues to grow. In order to reach out to registered nurses in rural and urban areas in southeast Minnesota and western Wisconsin, the course will offer an online section beginning spring semester 2008.
In summary, everyone in the continuum of care benefits from knowledgeable and certified nurses including patients, families, employers and nurses themselves. In addition, certification validates to patients and employers that a nurse is qualified, competent and has met rigorous requirements to achieve the certification. As partners, it is important that academics and practicing nurses continue working together to achieve and maintain the most up-to-date knowledge, thereby promoting continuing excellence in the nursing profession.

Soldiers Study for CCRN in Iraq
By Major David Cassella, Chief Nurse, 240th Forward Surgical Team/Head Nurses, ICU2, and Major Angela Stone, Head Nurse, ICU1, 28th CSH, Baghdad, Iraq
Thirteen nurses who work at the 28th Combat Support Hospital in Baghdad recently sat for their CCRN exam. For almost four months, they attended weekly lectures and studied for many hours in preparation for the exam. They also formed study groups to enhance their knowledge and test-taking ability. 2nd Lt. Revenia Buck said, "For me, studying for the CCRN forced me to study all areas of critical care. Combat nurses don't always see the full gamut of critical care patients."
Scheduling the exam was fairly simple. After contacting AACN to set up a test date, the next step was coordinating their plans with a DANTES test representative. The tests arrived just in time for the exam date.
The dedication of these highly motivated nurses has been inspiring, and many other Army Nurse Corps nurses have scheduled exams for when they return home.
Revised CCRN Self-Assessment Practice Exam (SAE) Now Available
An updated CCRN Adult Self-Assessment Practice Exam (SAE) is online and available for purchase for $50. The 60-item test provides timely and essential feedback to candidates preparing for the CCRN certification exam. It may also be used once during a renewal period by current CCRNs as one measure of continued competence. A current CCRN passing the SAE with a score of 70 percent or more may count 15 Category A CERPs (Continuing Education Recognition Points) toward renewal either by CERPs or Synergy CERPs. The CCRN SAE is not offered for CE credit. To purchase, go to
Do You Qualify for CCRN-E Status?
If your CCRN expired due to not meeting direct bedside hours because you were working exclusively or primarily in the remote ICU (virtual ICU) environment, you have until Dec. 31, 2007 to apply through the Review and Appeals Process to be reinstated under the CCRN-E status. For more information, refer to the CCRN-E Renewal Handbook at www.certcorp.org > What's New.

Facing aggressive legal action from major labels, music search engine SeeqPod has devised a new strategy for survival: selling its source code to third-party developers.
SeeqPod is hoping to spawn scores of clone services based on its powerful search technology, which allows users to find, collect and share for free an amazing amount of music from the internet's nooks and crannies.
"This just goes to show that when you sue technology — or the internet — you unleash a powerful demon technology," said a SeeqPod spokesman, who asked not to be named. "Imagine, millions of mini-SeeqPods — and the world will be a better place for it."
If SeeqPod's strategy does result in "millions of mini-SeeqPods," the record labels could be making the same mistake they made with P2P services like Napster and Kazaa. After the labels drove the seminal P2P services underground, the file-sharing movement splintered and became much harder to police or license.
Launched in 2006, SeeqPod is a popular service that allows an almost endless variety of music to be quickly found, streamed and shared with friends through playlists. Most of the music it indexes and streams is likely subject to copyright restrictions, but the service claims to be simply a search engine.
SeeqPod, which is based in Emeryville, California, and employs 12 full-timers plus a handful of contractors, says it indexes more than 13 million tracks and files. Apple's online iTunes Store claims about 10 million songs.
SeeqPod is looking to license its technology to developers for $5,000, allowing them to run their own versions of the company's advanced search algorithm. The license will also include the ability to let other companies use an Application Programming Interface (API) to develop apps that work in concert with their search engines. SeeqPod also plans to offer a professional service for helping developers install, customize and optimize the code, to make it easy for them to launch their own versions.
The company is currently accepting pre-registration applicants.
SeeqPod's shift in strategy comes as the labels ratchet up their pressure on the company.
EMI, Capitol and Warner Music Group are suing SeeqPod for copyright infringement, claiming it links to sites with illegal copies of copyright music. Affiliated services are also being sued. In February, EMI filed suit against Favtape for using SeeqPod's API to power its online mixtape-sharing service.
SeeqPod has tried to soothe the major labels' ire by pointing to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which offers "safe harbor" protection to online service providers, like Google or ISPs, from copyright violations by users.
SeeqPod claims it has also reached out to copyright holders with programs that let them sell tickets and merchandise through its site and those of its API partners.
If its new survival strategy succeeds, and SeeqPod clones proliferate, the labels could have even worse nightmares than the service gives them now.
But will developers bite? Plenty might balk, fearing the same sort of legal reprisal that already plagues SeeqPod and Favtape.
But given the variation in copyright laws around the world, "the international market, I would imagine, would be very interested in this kind of thing," said Jeff Ferguson, a search engine expert on the board of directors of the Search Engine Strategies conference.
Third-party developers have already seen the code's allure. Favtape, Songerize, Songza, Streamzy and others have already used SeeqPod's API to power their own music services.
Ferguson said SeeqPod might even find U.S. customers, in part because it's a search engine and doesn't store music on its servers, which could protect it from legal action.
In addition to legal pressures, Ferguson says, money troubles also likely motivate SeeqPod as it seeks to license itself.
"Most of the ads up there are house ads, [and that] really isn't making them a whole lot of money," said Ferguson in a phone interview. "At this point, there could certainly be some pressure from the labels, but since they were never really storing anything on their drives, most likely it's about, 'Hey, we need to find some way to make money.'"
Sources on the label side said the SeeqPod suit continues because the company refuses to negotiate fair licensing terms for music.
SeeqPod maintains that because it gathers music from disparate sources around the net, much as Google does for web pages, its service is legal, even though it lets users play the songs and collect them into sharable playlists.
Given SeeqPod's vision of "millions of mini-SeeqPods," the company doesn't appear ready to back down anytime soon.
Neither EMI or Warner Music Group would comment for this story.
Still, some form of cooperation between SeeqPod and the labels might be the best way forward for both sides. "Maybe if [SeeqPod] got into bed with a label, or with somebody really big, like an MTV, somebody that's actually in the music business itself," said Ferguson, "it could get that much better."

Saint Joseph Secular Discalced Carmelites
San Francisco, California
The Carmelite Contemplative Prayer
Our Constitutions exhort us to a cultivate a personal discipline of prayer through the daily practice of a half hour of mental prayer, praying the Liturgy of the Hours, and if possible, through daily Mass.
"Let us then together decide to make every day one of uninterrupted unification. Let us awaken in the morning in His love, and offer ourselves to His love the whole day. This means, follow the will of God, and live under His eyes, with Him, in Him, and for Him alone. Let us offer ourselves to Him in every moment, in the way that He wants. And when the evening comes, after a dialogue of love which never stopped in our hearts, we will fall asleep in His love."
Elizabeth of the Trinity
"Prayer is, in my view, nothing other than a talk with a friend. One to whom we gladly come alone to talk with, because we are sure that he loves us."
"I am not asking you to ... make long meditations. I am asking you only to look at Him."
St.Theresa of Avila
There are many ways to pray, each according to one's own temperament. Here are some resources to get you started in prayer and to deepen your prayer.

Not quite what I expected
The title was a bit misleading here. I was thinking about a very mysterious, beatiful song with whale sounds in it. Well the whale sounds were there, but I wouldn´t really describe this as beautiful, or relaxing like you described it. And I can´t imagine whales dancing on this either. It was just strange in my opinion. But I do like the psychedelicness in this song.
Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Much less whales dancing
then whales farting their arses off. Jaysus what were those noises? and then you got whale sex and orgasm noises that all had me pissing myself. I just loved this song's randomness!
Rated 2 / 5 stars
Ok i dont rlly get this yea i know Whales Dancing but you could try and remix it better and have a lil bit less of loop and diff instruments and make it a song where whales can rlly dance on xD but yea good try hope u score high on the remix
Rated 4 / 5 stars
If I wanted to watch whales dancing I would watch
Hannah Montannah. hahahahah
Good work though, however it got very repetitive and annoying. would work on that.

Model plane lighting system
I'm building a blown-up version of Fred Reese designed Electric Buttercup and intending to turn it into a flying lantern. My initial intention is to use LEDs for wing and fin tips, and halogen bulbs in the cabin and engine cowl nose light. Entire airplane will be covered in transparent film. Does anyone out there has any past experience and better suggestions? Thanx.
Regards, Mr. RC-CAM www.rc-cam.com |
Lightning system
You may find that with clear covering that all you see is lights! I'm not sure what would give the effect, but take a tip from the Mugi slopers - the Correx is translucent, and lights make the whole thing glow. I only have two high intensity leds each side, but the effect in total darkness is startling.
If you follow the link at www.mugi.co.uk you can download some movie of the night flying/led lit models. Tony |

The entire construction will be balsa trusses and I guess Correx is impractical. However, I believe some less opaque iron-on film can give the same effect. Has anyone tried it? Is opaque Monokote, Solarkote suitable? Thanx again. |
Night Lighting
I've experimented with a variety of lighting set-ups. My favorite, and worth a second look is RC Neon @ www.rcneon.com. Two sets of contrasting color for top and bottom of wing or whatever will set you back $50. There is a power inverter box about 2'' square but the results when powered off a 9v transistor radio battery are very impressive. I fly my E Zagi right down to the deck as in daylight. Other methods were cheaper, this has been the most fun.
The leds have a lens and the light is focused in one direction , I took a fine sponge sanding tool to mine and the light was diffused and lit the area better. Somewhere here is a photo of my Avertura II that had lights in the wing panels ( I'm on the Ole Lady's Computer now, no RC crap allowed). The effect is great for nite flight , on the lake you'll get bass going for yer plane.
Try lighting the stab the way the airlines do , two leds shining up from the horizonal stab illuminating the vertical stab, this helps orientation , and watch out for barn owls! Save Torrey Pines Earl |

Does anyone know what's the voltage and current draw for high lumen LEDs? I'm thinking of putting some in the cabin and inside the wings to turn the model into a flying lantern. Green LED will be placed on the left wingtip, Red for right and if I can find, a blinking LED on the fin tip. Not quite sure about RC Neon as I can't even access to the website.
The good news is that with the proper currently limiting resistor they will still operate from a standard 4-cell or higher pack. At 20mA per LED, the ESC's BEC output can be used if you do not get crazy with lamp count. Also, the viewing angles can get rather narrow, so pick something that has at least 45 degrees for good visibility. A diffused lens is often the best choice too, but it all depends on what you are trying to illuminate. Regards, Mr. RC-CAM www.rc-cam.com |
Do check out the Mugi site, lots of good info on what types and colors of leds work best.
On a diffrent note, I just recieved some luminous paint I'm excited about. It's inexpensive, water-based and can be mixed with transparent acrilic paints to provide colors. I'm interested in mixing it with water-based quick drying urathane varnish, a new wonderstuff finish for use on foam. it can be colored with ordinary food coloring! Here is a link: http://campscrafts.safeshopper.com/202/1683.htm?906 -Dave |
Joe, I think if you cover the plane in transparent film you'll suffer some of the problems I got on the early Mugi.
The high brightness LEDs have a relatively narrow viewing angle but will diffuse very well under a translucent material such as correx. I'm not sure how film will compare as the cellular structure of correx seems to refract and internally distribute the light. I'm not up on coverings, but I suspect a textured type might work better than the smooth films. The narrow viewing angle may cause problems if you have transparent as at certain angles you may find yourself looking directly down the 'lens'. This will dazzle you and you'll probably get a halo effect in your vision - effectively making the rest of the plane vanish from the sky, especially those parts illuminated by LEDs pointing the opposite direction. The best LEDs I have found are green and blue ultra brightness. The green quotes up to 10000mcd as their output - though I tend to use the 4400mcd versions which increase viewing (spread) angle from 15 deg to 30 deg. Those I buy are manufactured by Nichia and run to £3 per LED here in the UK. Your local supplier should have some of a similar spec. Fortunately, there are also some orange LEDs that give out a good amount of light for only £0.80 each. These are Toshiba. The Mugi site should have the specs and links to Maplin if you want to compare the ID's etc. to your local place. The white LEDs are amazingly bright but I should warn you that it all my experiments they did not diffuse as well as the colours. In fact, in order to fill a Mugi with as much uniform light coverage as one green and one blue, I needed six white LEDs! They just do not like to diffuse. Hope that's helpful. By the way, OH!Zone - over here, one of our main paint mfrs. Dulux has a glow in the dark paint that's actually sold in big tins - I think up to 500ml for about £8 which compares pretty favourably. I haven't seen it in action but I suspect it's not bad and may be worth a shot. Also, regular emulsion or vinyl paint seem to be the only thing that sticks to correx. Links: Green Nichia LED (brightest and best diffuser) Blue Nichia LED Toshiba Extreme Brightness - orange makes a great red Cheers Morgan |

Thank you guys for your valuable suggestions. I'm still yet to decide the system to use. A friend of mine agreed to sell me his RC Model lighting system cheap which is similar to the RCNEON. However, I was told that this system is quite delicate. My model is huge (68" span) and the fuselage is volumuos. I reckon that it can easily carry a separate 4-cell 600mah pack w/o much weight penalty. It seems that it'll need quite a number of LEDs to have sufficient brightness or I could get away with a halogen bulb or 2 with enough duration for about 2-3 , 10mins flights. I've yet to find out the cost of LEDs and halogen bulbs. If LEDs only direct light in certain directions, what is the best possible LEDs placement and configuration in the fuselage to get optimum effect?
Look at: http://www.glowire.com/ They offer luminescent wire and LED'S for all kinds of applications. We've used them with very good success on R/C airplanes (they originally were aiming for the R/C airplane market, but it was so small they've branched out to other areas).
Steve |
Hmm, would it be possible to use spare servo outputs from the receiver to drive a buffer transistor which is in turn connected to the LEDs? The servo output *is* a PWM signal, right? Only thing is you wouldn't be able to switch the lights completely off, but it would be cool to have adjustable intensity lighting

I'll be back by Lex around the 6th if you still need some by then, but I'm on the other side of the state atm.
Substrate from an already established tank also works as a jump-starter if you have some, such as from your 20g. |

Posted December 1, 2012 6:48 pmmando323watched viloria vs marquez great back and forth fight!!! where is the coverage on that fight!!!!!! congrats viloria!!!! Top Rank is king when it comes to maximizing profits and matchmaking so why fight abner when he is getting paid 1 million dollars to fight arce a natural 112 pounder. so in december we have a 112 against a 140 fighter nice!!! now style wise donaire doesn't throw jabs so how is he going to hold off abner who has quicker and more educated feet = angles to not get hit? that is why arum is milking it donaire is the favorite because he has more power and quicker fists but he is always looking for the perfect punch… one last thing if anyone watched this fight viloria hit marquez with at least 10 low blows in the groin or hip but no one calls him dirty its boxing…. cant wait for viloria vs chocolatito!!!! Posted November 19, 2012 1:38 am1200 Techs@Chicago Guy Why all the hate on Mares?? last i heard, Bob arum stated Top Rank will not work with GBP…..if anything thats the kind of bs thats killin boxing!! Posted November 18, 2012 4:59 pmWTF???!The Mexican fought incredibly dirty.. but as we know that's how they roll.. Chicago guymissing words: the fight Posted November 18, 2012 9:35 amChicago guyMares is hyping himself of having interest of fighting Donaire because he knows that Oskie will not allow to happen. Posted November 18, 2012 9:33 amRobIn the past 2yrs no one has fought better competition then Abner Mares an Andre Ward. These two guys are fighting like we would hope all fighters would, but not everyone has it in them to face the best (Mayweather) an some how be good enough to win. Nonito is the top dog no doubt but Mares has shown enough an gaining so much experience he might be able to catch Nonito on a good night an again come away with the W. You don't get better facing old guys an guys the real fight fans no have no chance against Nonito, Mares an Ward are fighting the best an getting better because of it. Posted November 18, 2012 6:17 amrcaIf the contest between Mares and Nonito (if they fight) is predicated on the amount of low blows, detected or not by the referee, thrown in the fight, Mares wins hands down. Posted November 17, 2012 10:26 amrcaThe notion that Mares 'resume is better than Nonito is laughable. I have not seen Mares broke jaws, sent fighters to the canvas with twitching legs or severe disorientation aith one punch, and these were opponents of the upper boxing echelon (Montiel, Dachinyan, Mathebula, Shederenko, Nishioka). Will Mares give Nonito a good fight – of course he will or he would not be ranked like he is now. Fighting Donaire and beating him are two very different scenarios. There is nobody that will hang with Nonito in his weight division. If you fight him, you have to contend with his speed, his chin, his stamina and his lethal KO power in both hands. I have not seen anything in Mares' last fights that indicates he can hang with Nonito. If they fight, Nonito will KO him with either hand inside of nine rounds. Posted November 16, 2012 11:17 pmThe Mad ScientistHecdog has the beat. Posted November 16, 2012 9:36 pmFight AficionadoDonaire looked dominant at the lower weights but over the past year he's looked pedestrian. Make him fight Mares and win or lose I'll say he's doing solid against top comp. Or better yet make him fight Rigondeaux. Stop cherrypicking. Posted November 16, 2012 8:04 pmTitopahe Mad Scientist – Look at the guys that Nishioka's been in the ring with….from all his experience and considering his long undefeated streak…Why was he so scared to fight Donaire? I mean, the guy was frozen stiff, and the second he thought "I can win this" he was put on his behind, TWICE and his corner had to save him. After the fight he basically said that Donaire's speed and power was just too much. I'm telling you, Donaire is one of those guys that needs an ELITE opponent to bring out the best in him…ask Montiel and Darchinyan, they were "elite" and Donaire SMOKED them. Yes, lower division, but top notch in those respectable division nonetheless. Posted November 16, 2012 7:50 pmThe Mad ScientistTitopa -I think you're still stuck on the Nonito of old who use to dominate and destroy guys at 118lbs and below..at 122lbs Donaire has looked confused and lost with no clue what's so ever on what to when he can get a guy out of there..Im not saying Donaire isn't dangerous for anybody at 122lbs but in a sense he has been expose as guy who's been getting by on physical advantages (speed,power,athleticism) more so than actual boxing skill or ring IQ..if you can't see it I think its time to get off the weed vato-loco, its affecting you beyond just sueding you after a hards day work and your sleeping problems, SERIO..Lol! Posted November 16, 2012 7:43 pmTitopahecdog – But none of those guys have/had the pop Donaire does….Mares is hittable, Darchinyan proved that by dropping him and giving him a helluva fight, and that's because Darchinyan is a puncher, and we all know who hits harder between Darchinyan and Donaire. Donaire is going to KO him. Posted November 16, 2012 6:05 pm1200 Techs@titopa…i meant mares…not arce Posted November 16, 2012 5:18 pmTitopaAs far as resumes go…Mares wins, HANDS DOWN! He's been defeating the BEST. No doubt. I can't and won't argue that. Posted November 16, 2012 4:45 pmTitopaI must agree though…Bob Arum is doing a TERRIBLE job with Donaire, with Shaw, Donaire was getting "THE FIGHTS". Posted November 16, 2012 4:44 pmTitopaThe Mad Scientist – I just believe that Donaire is THE best from 122lbs down….I think skill wise, he's unmatched, that's it. I'm not down playing Mares' abilities, I thought he looked good and did what he had to against Moreno, but Moreno is no Donaire in the power punching department, NOTHING Moreno threw could discourage Mares, Donaire is a MUCH more polished fighter who uses his opponents mistakes to land his bombs….Mares, although a VERY good fighter, makes A LOT of mistakes, hence the "sloppiness" of his punches, Donaire WILL capitalize on them. Posted November 16, 2012 4:42 pmTitopate tumbo – What happened to Montiel? Oh yeah, DESTROYED!!! Montiel is FAR, FAR more accomplished than ANYONE (minus Mosley, who was WAY past his best) on Canelo's resume, I agree that Donaire hasn't been fighting the VERY best in his last couple fights, yes, Vazquez is a good fighter who gave Arce fits, but Donaire can do better….and I believe he will. It's simple Posted November 16, 2012 4:38 pmTitopaThe Mad Scientist – What?? I'm just a realist….it's simple. I don't go for Mexican's JUST because they're Mexican, I go for the fighter I believe will win…I like Mares, he's a bit dirty, but I like his approach to boxing, he WANTS the best and he's been beating the best, I've rooted for him every time he's fought and I picked him against his last 4 opponents. But against Donaire, I'm sorry, I just don't see him winning, Donaire is just TOO explosive for him, if wild swinging (chin out) Darchinyan can drop him with his "power" shots, then Donaire is going to destroy him with HIS "power" shots. Posted November 16, 2012 4:35 pmTitopa1200 Techs – Guess you've been under a rock these past few weeks…Donaire's fighting Arce. Posted November 16, 2012 4:32 pm1200 TechsIf The Filipino Flash doesnt fight Arce or Rigo next,….hes pullin a chump move….Mad props to Mares not afraid to call out the best!! Posted November 16, 2012 4:01 pmMrpleasepleasemookie…yes your right and the reason is the promoters. u think bob gonna let donaire fight mares? i personally love the idea of that fight happening, but it won't. bob's greed and ego killing our sport. we the fans, the only thing we can do about this is not buy ppv's or attend any fight cards until they are forced to co-promote because we the fans won't accept anything else. but we all know that won't happen either. peace ya'll Posted November 16, 2012 3:28 pmte tumbo". . . seriously overlooking the fact that Donaire is MAKING them look like they're "no threat". that is actually a sober and insightful post that Titopa NEVER makes in favor of Mexican fighters like Alvarez who may be doing the exact same thing. instead, it's the undefeated and busier Alvarez whose "hype" and "overrated" (lol). Posted November 16, 2012 3:12 pmte tumbo"yeah I know you're a fan of Marquez now that he reduced Pacquiao's amazing run from David Diaz to Shane Mosley down to rubble" (LoL). MAD SCI, there are indeed some severe self-loathing issues going on with Titopa. he's constantly slicing off his nose to spite his face with his typically off-base analyses of Mexican fighters. neither Salido, Alvarez, Marquez, or Mares were "real" enough for him before they proved him wrong, Again. afterwards, he predictably backpedals into the mug of the next up-and-coming Mexican fighter before releasing yet another burst of toxic gas in their face. "Lol" is right. Posted November 16, 2012 3:08 pmThe Mad ScientistTitopa there was a time you believed Marquez could no longer compete with Manny Pacquiao during a time what seemed to be an incredible run for the Pacman..now you're starting to believe Donaire is worlds ahead in class above anybody else in the 122lbs division by pumping up his wins over lame competition at 122lbs..if you don't know yet you'll find out soon enough that Nonito is no longer the untouchable elusive, overwhelmingly fast, strong, powerful fighter he appeared to be at 118lbs and below..I wouldn't be shocked if the Flash takes an "L" before a fight between he and Mares can be made..watch! Posted November 16, 2012 2:37 pmThe Mad ScientistTitopa -te tumbo was right about you..no one works harder than you at trying to sound like a neutral mexican fight fan by not allowing yourself to give mexican fighters the benefit of the doubt until they prove you wrong like Marquez did against Pacquiao and Mares will against Donaire..yeah I know you're a fan of Marquez now that he reduced Pacquiao's amazing run from David Diaz to Shane Mosley down to rubble..Lol! Posted November 16, 2012 2:19 pmMookie blaylockyea sure but there are exceptions like nonitos first loss, and against rafeal concepcion where he was being pressured and couldnt put a dent in eithers chin Posted November 16, 2012 1:47 pmMookie blaylocktry to give mares some credit nonitards, theres a reason why nonito chose to fight a retired nishoka and a faded arce Posted November 16, 2012 1:41 pmTitopaMookie blaylock – I'm a realist and I'm a huge fan of Donaire, but Donaire has never really been one to "attack", he's much more of a counter-puncher who relies on his opponents to make mistakes….he needs to work on 'attacking' fighters who are just too scared (Navarez, Mathebula & Nishioka) to fight. But against guys who really try to win, he SMOKES them, he's explosive and if he can tag you, he'll knock you out. Which is why I feel he'll KO Mares, because Mares IS willing to engage and is NOT afraid to "fight", which will favor the more powerful Donaire. You'll see, Donaire will STOP Mares inside 8. Posted November 16, 2012 1:39 pmTitopaThose of you claiming that Donaire's opponents posed "no threat" are seriously overlooking the fact that Donaire is MAKING them look like they're "no threat"….Nishioka had been knocking dudes OUT, he smoked Gonzalez and many others, he was supposed to give Donaire a big challenge, except they forgot to tell Nishioka that…the man was MESMERIZED by Donaire's speed and power, and the moment he "tried to win" he was DROPPED, twice!!! Donaire is making these foos look silly…what happened to Montiel when he "tried to win"?? Yeah, he was sent to never never land. It's not his fault his opponents FREEZE when they feel his speed and power. Donaire stops Mares with NO problem. Posted November 16, 2012 1:36 pmMookie blaylocknonito so called arsenel is overrated, alot of his fanboys compare him to a smaller roy jones jr, I dont see it, nonito couldnt even overwhelm and ko a old smaller fighter in nearvarez, yes narverez fought to survive but nonito was head hunting throughout the fight, never went to the body to bring narvarez gaurd down and probably outweighed the argentine by at least 15+ pounds Posted November 16, 2012 1:31 pmTitoparca – You sir, knows what's up! Donaire is LETHAL with BOTH hands. Posted November 16, 2012 1:30 pmTitopaMookie blaylock – Didn't Donaire retire Nishioka with a right hand? Um Yes. If you think Donaire's ONLY weapon is his left, then you're blind. The man is lethal with both hands….he's better than ANY fighter at 122. Posted November 16, 2012 1:29 pmTitopaThis is a MUCH, MUCH better fight than Donaire vs Rigo…because unlike Rigo, Mares is ACCOMPLISHED, he's been beating the TOP guys of his division(s) for years…with that being said, Donaire wins via TKO/KO, he's just too explosive, he will NOT let Mares get wild on him and he will NOT allow Mares to think he can attack, Donaire is just an overall a MUCH better fighter. Posted November 16, 2012 1:27 pmDaly Jr likes to touch herselfmookie Triniad was always a one trick pony. Oscar proved that moons ago before he fought Hopkins. The Hopkins fight then wasnt a surprise to me. Donaire though has a lot more to his game. Will be a scorcher when they get it on i reckon Posted November 16, 2012 1:00 pmMookie blaylocknonito only has that left hook, the same way hopkins neutralized trinidads monster left hook, im picking mares to do the same, mares will excute a game plan to beat the filipino fraud donaire Posted November 16, 2012 12:48 pmDaly Jr likes to touch herselftrue that tim. I dunno whats happened to Donaire since sending Montiel into orbit. Hes been winning but it hasnt been pretty. Would be a toughie against Mare no ifs or buts. But Donaire for me. But its gotta happen soon Posted November 16, 2012 12:40 pmterror timDaly I too think Donaire would win but the fight needs to happen. Agbeko is a good fighter and as good if not better than everyone Donaire has fought. Time for Donaire to start fighting the best. Mares is a good fighter but I agree with those that complain about his dirty tactics. He isn't even sneaky about it, just blatant. Good boxer but he needs to stop with the low blows. Posted November 16, 2012 12:18 pmAnonymousSmells like a trilogy in the making fellas Posted November 16, 2012 10:42 amDaly Jr likes to touch herselfI have a loada respect for Mare but the filipino Flash does it all the way. Mare struggled big time against that african dude in the bantam weight super 4, but look better in the rematch to be fair. Still aint enough for Donaire Posted November 16, 2012 10:02 amMexMares all day!!! Posted November 16, 2012 8:34 amrcaIf the fight happens, it will be a good one but it not will go the distance. Mares will fight like Nishioka by trying to avoid Donaire's lethal left and will be KOed by Nonito's equally lethal right. Donaire by KO in the ninth !! Posted November 16, 2012 7:24 amMick the MarmalizerIn an ideal World Mares fights Donaire & the winner takes on WBA champ Rigo to decide who really is 100% #1 @ 122Lb. I know Gary Hyde & Rigo want it. Posted November 16, 2012 6:18 amThe Mad ScientistHecdog didn't you pick against Mares in his last fight..? If so, looks like you have come around, either that or you're still not to fond of Donaire..IMO, Nonito and Mares is a 50/50 fight for now but if Donaire fails to impress against Arce I see Mares beating him because of the same reasons you mentioned..hopefully the fight can be made so we can no for sure but Uncle Bob is starting that funny talk again so I wont be getting my hopes up..LSC vs Mares is a great fight I wouldn't mind watching that can be made if Top Prank decides not to co-promote with GBP.. Posted November 16, 2012 3:05 amThe Mad ScientistBoxtra I agree..those who picked against Mares in his last fight against Moreno want to see him get knocked out..btw, have you checked out the new ring ratings to see who cracked the top 10 P4P list..?? Can you say 2012 FOTY..?? Lol! Posted November 16, 2012 2:48 amRedwoodMares relies on illegal tactics, and if I were Donaire, I would make sure to get a referee not afraid to deduct points for the dozens of low blows Mares is sure to throw. Posted November 16, 2012 2:30 amTrikoyReferee: "Protect your balls at all times, Nonito!" Posted November 16, 2012 12:23 amTrikoyAbner Mares: "The public wants to see me fight like a chicken or get KTFO!" Posted November 16, 2012 12:20 amYungJoDonaire will box circles around him.

Posted November 15, 2012 11:22 pmThe PrinceStay way, Donaire. The fix is in. Posted November 15, 2012 10:23 pmREMWtf is up with Nonito he better take on Mares after Arce or his stock will drop with me.

Posted November 15, 2012 10:16 pmAnonymousI'd rather see Rigondeaux Vs. Donaire, it's more competitive. Rigondeaux has to get by Poonsawat first. Posted November 15, 2012 10:09 pmThe KingslayerThe obstacle holding back this fight is Bob Arum. Posted November 15, 2012 10:01 pmPhonaire Has Ugly WifeSorry Mares not going to happen.

We present the first direct experimental bound on the total decay width of the top quark, Γt, using 955 pb-1 of the Tevatron's ppbar collisions recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We identify 253 top-antitop pair candidate events. The distribution of reconstructed top quark mass from these events is fitted to templates representing different values of the top quark width. Using a confidence interval based on likelihood-ratio ordering, we extract an upper limit at 95% C.L. of Γt <13.1 GeV for an assumed top quark mass of 175 GeV/c2.
In 955 pb-1 of Run II data, for Mtop=175.0 GeV/c2, we set a limit ofΓtop < 13.1 GeV at 95% confidence level

2012 Wilson BLX 6.1 95
I am going to demo these racquets in 16x18 and 18x20 string pattern just to see how it compares to my PSTGT. Anyone else had a chance to try this racquet?
tried it, nothing great, I highly recommend this http://www.angelltennis.com/custom/?prod=tc95
I have the 16x19 and it's phenomenal.
It seems to me that 16x19 or 16x18 is more traditional Wilson feel. If you want a 18x20 racquet, you should try a Head.
Do you think a 4.0 player can use this racquet, or does one need to be a more advanced player? Thanks in advance
I think both can be tailored to be almost mirrors of each other with the right strings. I have picked up the game after a 12-yr layoff (my previous racquet was Pro Staff 6.1 Classic and played in college) and am experimenting with the strings. I have RPM Blast in one 18x20 (ok string) and NXT 17 in another 18x20 and in the 16x18. I will probably try the Solinco Tour Bite in the 18x20 get a bit more spin. |
Hey, is this a Volkl X10 295 reunion thread? :)
I've hit the '12 BLX 6.1 95 16x18 recently and I remembered how much I like this line of racquets and I'm seriously considering buying one. It reminds me of a fully loaded version of my X10. I love the X10 but there isn't one thing I can think of that the BLX 6.1 95 doesn't do better for me. That mass and sublime balance make executing my shots easier and more effective. I need an extended demo to see if I can pull off those shot just as easily in the second and third sets of a match. I don't mind swinging the X10 hard to tap its power, but I do get fatigued later in matches even with the relatively lighter racquet. I'm wondering; how much difference is an extra 3/4 of an ounce really going to make late in a match? I'm thinking the benefits will outweigh the potential added fatigue. Anyhow, ps, I think you'll like the demo. A lot. |
Para let me know how it compares to the PST.. btw a nationally ranked junior (Top 10) has made the switch from the PSTGT to the upcoming Blade 98 in the 16x19... so I'm pumped to test that one out !
I hope they improve the BLX Blade as I wasn't impressed with the current version. I put both Wilson 95s on a scale and they are so off in weight it's not even funny.
The 18x20 string pattern weighed 11.8oz and the 16x19 pattern weighed 12.4oz. That's going to be a lot of lead tape to try to get them to balance each other out before trying to get them anywhere close to being a fair comparison. |
Wilson QC is just horrid... and agreed I hated the BLX version but the N and K versions were solid.
It's too bad, sucks to proceed with the doubt that you aren't actually using and comparing the frames as intended, and for that matter, if you do choose to order, what you receive may be yet another variant. |
I just switched to it about 5 months ago. Coming from my Dunlop AG 4D 200, this had much more power and about the same control/

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX Screenshots Showcase Remastered Cutscenes
By Matthew Bennett, Associate Editor

Posted on January 28, 2013 AT 03:35am
Square Enix has released a new batch of screenshots for Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX showcasing some of the updated cutscenes that will be included in the pack.
This HD collection includes Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days–the latter is only the cutscenes.
No official release date has been offered for the U.S. and Europe, however, last week one of the English voice actors did hint that localization was underway.
Are the updated graphics a major improvement? Let us know in the comments below.

Record Store Day may have been corrupted, but, elsewhere, music stayed true this weekend. Namely, at shows by Jonas Brothers, Liars, Kaki King, the Roots, the Hold Steady, Forgetters, and the Appleseed Cast — shows that have been captured in photographic form and are being conveniently presented to you now. Pretty photos of live events: just one more reason to never leave the house!

The Eden Project
6 8 Share TweetThe Worlds Largest Greenhouse! Two domes where a tropical rain forest climate and a cooler Mediterranean climate can experience.
The Eden Project is situated a few miles from the town of St Austell, and has become one of the biggest attractions in Cornwall. It was built at the bottom of a disused clay pit in 2001 and I have only recently made the trip to visit it. What first grabs your attention is the two massive bio-domes. They come across as either some giant insects nest or a Bond Villains moon hide out. They certainly make great lomography subjects.
The first dome we visited has a tropical rainforest climate, and houses banana trees, pineapples, giant bamboo and all sorts of small birds and insects. The first thing I noticed was how quickly my cameras fogged up. My fisheye didn't stand a chance but my trusty Holga pulled through just about. It didn't stand a chance by the giant waterfall though. Due to the lens constantly fogging up it adds a nice dream like soft focus to your shots. I would suggest taking a lens cloth along anyway though.
My Girlfriend and I both felt like we had been on a little holiday after leaving the first Bio-dome after checking we didn't have any stowaway butterflies and wiping the sweat off our brows.
The second Bio-dome has a much cooler Mediterranean climate. This meant no more fogging up and I could get my Fisheye out to play as well. Sadly we were a little too early in the season for a lot of the flowers to be coming into bloom but we did get to see a lot of Daffodils! Also lots of olives and strange giant lemons…
As well as plants and flowers the Eden Project also features a lot of sculptures and art work. A favorite of mine was the giant robot made from old bits and bobs.
The hexagonal domes are great structures to shoot from both inside and out, and slide film would really come alive on a bright sunny day. And as a bonus if you give your entrance fee as a 'gift' you can visit again for free as many times in a year as you like! Now the weather is brightening up I can't wait to visit again and shoot some more of the outside areas as well as re-visiting the Bio-domes. Perhaps with my Fisheye in a submarine this time though…

Alpari World Match Racing Tour - Argo Group Gold Cup Bermuda
October is a perfect time to sail and vacation in Bermuda and the Argo Group Gold Cup is a showcase 'spectator' event culminating in the exciting finals weekend October 12th-13th.

The Argo Group Gold Cup is the penultimate sixth stage of the Alpari World Match Racing Tour, in which the teams compete for the ISAF Match Racing World Championship.

Are there any prerequisites for visiting students admitted to School 80?
No, they need not be enrolled at another school.
No, they are not restricted, but they must be qualified for the course.
Rutgers alumni are especially welcome to return to Rutgers in order to take courses.
Is admission to unit 80 only an option when admissions window is closed for Fall and Spring, or will it be an admissions option at any time?
School 80 does not offer degrees. Therefore, students enrolled through it are not "admitted" to any school or program, nor are any promises of admission to matriculation for a degree inferred. Students visiting Rutgers through School 80 are enrolled in courses only. With the increasing demands for maintaining competitive skills and knowledge in a rapidly evolving world, we recognize the need for adults to return to refresh their skills on a regular basis. What they are looking for often does not require completion of an entire degree but rather a variety of individual courses for professional development.
What is the tuition for enrolling in School 80?
Tuition charges can be found at http://studentabc.rutgers.edu
Are there any credit caps?
There are no credit caps at this time, though this policy is under review.
Is unit 80 considered a precursor to actual matriculation or non-matriculated status at other schools?
No. School 80 is simply a means for our public to enroll in a course or courses without being admitted to any particular program. Some of the School 80 students may subsequently decide to matriculate. If they do so, they will need to apply to the School they are interested in and meet all appropriate admission requirements.

"Childhood favourites"
Wonderful to play these poems to my granddaughter and to remember them from my own magical childhood.
Beautifully read with such different actors who obviously enjoy the process.
"Just additive"
This series has me completely hooked...I listen and re-listen.. The characters are very likable and I find myself laughing out loud sometimes. I hope she keeps writing
"Addictive listen"
This series is just great and I find them quite additive. I think the trick is that the characters are likeable and developing with every book. I'm still attempting to work out who the killer is and love it when I don't get it until I'm told.
The narrator makes the characters come to live and her accents are brilliant particularly the Irish...
"fascinating story"
This audible book was excellent bringing to life this amazing story. The way it was read made the people come to life and I wanted to meet them as well as reading what they had found.
I will certainly re-listen to it as I know that I will get more from the story next time.
"Wonderful memories"
The Elephant Child
Laught a lot
A book my children and grandchildren I hope will love as much as I o
"Fantastic WWII historical story"
Absolutely it's just wonderful. I am catching up with all my favourite books and finding new ones.
It makes the books three dimensional
Nothing....it's just brilliant
He makes the characters believable. People you wanted to learn about and even meet.
I have learnt so much about this period fom so many different perspectives.
"Just Brilliant"
It was always a favourite story but, listening to Juliet Stevenson read it was just wonderful. She brought the characters and the scenery to life and I listened to it in one session just couldn't turn it off.
No I haven't but I'll be looking out for other books she's read on audible
A beautiful love story
"Excellent 1st book"
The story was wonderful and the narrator was excellent. She performed the different characters so that you got a really see them.The story line was good and the language very descriptive so good almost feel the heat of the dessert.
Amelia Peabody.....such a great character....despite being a female in a very male world she never let it stop her. She controlled her destination mostly!

The U.S. economy is slowly recovering with company profits and per capital disposable income back in growth mode.
But some industries aren't participating in the recovery, says a new report by IBISWorld, Los Angles-based publisher and analyst of financial information. "In fact, some are pushing up daisies," says the report authored by Caitlin Moldvay and Douglas Kelly.
Click here or on the photo above to see the 10 fastest dying industries in America.
IBISWorld defines a dying industry as one in a declining life cycle, with both declining revenues and number of companies in the past decade plus forecasts for further declines in the next five years.
"Based on these parameters IBISWorld has highlighted 10 industries that have exhibited exceptionally sour performances," the report says.
These 10 industries are coping with more than a recession, tough as it was.
Outsourcing (contracting with a third party) and offshoring (placing factories overseas) have hit dozens of sectors of U.S. manufacturing, IBISWorld says. Everything from shoes to doorknobs is now made in other countries for sale in this country.
The big incentive for outsourcing and offshoring is lower labor costs, the report notes. The average wage at a U.S. apparel manufacturing plan was $33,579 a year in 2010. In China it was $2,250; in Vietnam, $1,152; and in Indonesia, $1,089.
Others of the top 10 dying industries have been hit by technological advances, IBISWorld says. "Many traditional industries fail to embrace new technologies to meet changing consumer preferences and ultimately fall under new waves of competition."
The other blow was the financial crisis that prompted new federal laws regulating banks and other financial companies. For example, in exchange for access to capital, the Federal Reserve has pushed banks owned by unregulated financial companies into commercial banking status.
However, IBISWorld offers a glimmer of hope. "Not all is doom and gloom for these 10 dying industries," the report says. "While these industries are losing ground in their current form, select industry players will be able to transform their businesses to pursue new opportunities."
What do you say? Which of these 10 dying industries is most likely to transform and survive? Which do you think is most likely to disappear completely in the near future?
