Oncogenes Act Like an Accelerator
By producing abnormal versions or quantities of cellular growth-control proteins, oncogenes cause a cell's growth-signaling pathway to become hyperactive. To use a simple metaphor, the growth-control pathway is like the gas pedal of an automobile. The more active the pathway, the faster cells grow and divide. The presence of an oncogene is like having a gas pedal that is stuck to the floorboard, causing the cell to continually grow and divide. A cancer cell may contain one or more oncogenes, which means that one or more components in this pathway will be abnormal.
Tumor Suppressor Genes
A second group of genes implicated in cancer are the "tumor suppressor genes." Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes whose absence can lead to cancer. In other words, if a pair of tumor suppressor genes are either lost from a cell or inactivated by mutation, their functional absence can cause cancer. Individuals who inherit an increased risk of developing cancer often are born with one defective copy of a tumor suppressor gene. Because genes come in pairs (one inherited from each parent), an inherited defect in one copy will not cause cancer because the other normal copy still works. But if the second copy undergoes mutation, the person then may develop cancer because there no longer is any functional copy of the gene.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To detect an active or recent mycoplasma (type of bacteria) infection
When to Get Tested?
When your doctor suspects that your respiratory or other symptoms are caused by a mycoplasma infection; when a genital infection may be caused by mycoplasma or ureaplasma (a particular type of mycoplasma)
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm, a throat swab, sputum sample, body fluid or tissue sample; occasionally, genital or urethral swab
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Mycoplasmas are the smallest free-living microorganisms known. They may exist as part of the normal flora found in the throat, upper respiratory tract, and genitourinary tract. Mycoplasmas are unlike other types of bacteria in many ways and can be difficult to culture and identify. Mycoplasma testing is used to determine whether someone currently has or recently had a mycoplasma infection.
Mycoplasma testing includes a group of tests that either measure antibodies in the blood produced in response to a mycoplasma infection or detect the microorganism directly through culturing or by detecting its genetic material (DNA) in a body sample. It is most often used to detect Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae), the causative agent of respiratory infections often referred to as "atypical pneumonia."
M. pneumoniae is a common cause of upper respiratory infections, with an estimated 2 million cases in the U.S. each year. It is responsible for 15-20% of cases of community-acquired pneumonia, appearing as single cases and as periodic epidemics, especially in school-age children and in military populations or other settings where people live in close quarters. Infections can occur at any time of the year, but outbreaks are more prevalent in the late summer and early fall.
Most cases of M. pneumoniae infection are mild and self-limited, causing nonspecific symptoms such as bronchitis, a runny nose, and a nonproductive cough that may persist for several weeks. Symptoms may become more severe, causing fever, sore throat, headaches, and muscle aches, when the infection spreads to the lower respiratory tract and causes "walking pneumonia," or, more rarely, spreads to other parts of the body. This is especially true in very young infants, in those who have underlying health conditions, such as asthma, or who have compromised immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS. Depending upon what parts of the body become infected, complications may range from meningitis to difficulty breathing, cardiac inflammation and arrhythmia, skin rashes, lesions or nodules, arthritis, anemia, or to Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Testing may occasionally be done to detect other species of mycoplasma. Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma genitalium, and Ureaplasma urealyticum infections are less common than those seen with M. pneumoniae. In adults, these organisms are primarily sexually transmitted, causing nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) and some inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis) in men and sometimes associated with vaginal discharge and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women. M. hominis and U. urealyticum can be passed from mother to baby during birth when the baby passes through an infected birth canal. They typically colonize infants for their first couple of years. Rarely, they can cause systemic infections in infants and in those with compromised immune systems.
How is the sample collected for testing?
The sample required depends on the method being used and on the health status of the person being tested:
- Antibody testing requires a blood sample, obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
- Direct detection of mycoplasma may be done on a variety of samples. For a respiratory infection, samples may include sputum, a washing of the bronchi in the lungs, or throat swab. If a systemic infection is being diagnosed, blood, joint fluid, body fluids, or tissues samples may be cultured. Some samples may require a special procedure to collect them. To detect a genital infection, a swab of the cervix or urethra may be collected.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

This is just to let everyone know the good news about Geert Wilders - his long-awaited book is finally out . It is called "MARKED FOR DEATH" "Islam's war against the West and me "
I think everyone in America should read it. It's a real story and gives a lot of perspective on the Islam-West conflict. .
Although many still don't realize it and some wouldn't believe it if they were told the truth, it's a fact that we are at war with Islamic radicalism. *
Some have finally come to be aware it really exists , but it's easy to just but the whole thing on the back-burner and become complacent . Wilders book will help bring the reality of Islamization into focus again.
Say what you like about Wilders- he has his flaws, but he is still one of the greatest freedom-fighters and innovaters of retaliation against Islamic imposition that this century has had. In Europe especially. He has been a great inspiration for those who were formerly intimidated to speak out and protest .
"Marked for Death"
by Geert Wilders
Regnery Publishing Co. USA
Sheba * He says there really is no difference in "radical " Islam and regular Islam . Quote : "there is no such thing as moderate Islam" "There are moderate Muslims but not Islam " I agree .

Yup, thats possible, every box is given a unique ID, you can use these ID's to to style each individual box.
For example, your "digitaal lesstof" box has an ID of fbox_1324, so you can use that to style that box.

Free State Cheetahs speedster Raymond Rhule's future at outside centre will depend on his performance against Griquas this weekend.
Rhule made his first senior appearance in the No 13 jersey during Free State's 34-30 loss to the Blue Bulls in Pretoria last Saturday. The 19-year-old played in the midfield at schoolboy level and for the Free State U21s, but has featured predominantly at wing during the Currie Cup and the Baby Boks' Junior World Championship-winning run in June.
While he scored a try during the loss at Loftus Versfeld, Cheetahs assistant coach Hawies Fourie wasn't completely impressed with the player's overall performance.
'He did okay for his first run at outside centre for us, but his decision-making needs to be better,' Fourie told keo.co.za. 'There were times he needed to pass and spread the ball. He attacked the Bulls defensive line too much. He'll get another run at 13 against Griquas this weekend.'
If things don't improve, Rhule will return to wing, where he has impressed on the domestic scene. He's currently tied as the top try-scorer in the Currie Cup.
Meanwhile, out-of-form flyhalf Sias Ebersohn could return to the Free State run-on side on Saturday.
Ebersohn, who dropped behind Johan Goosen (Springboks), Riaan Smit (injured) and scrumhalf specialist Tewis de Bruyn in the pivot pecking order this season, played a big role during the Cheetahs' near second-half comeback against the Bulls.
De Bruyn has started in the No 10 jersey over the last two weeks.
'We were happy with his performance off the bench. He did very well,' said Fourie.
Free State Cheetahs – 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Nico Scheepers, 13 Raymond Rhule, 12 Robert Ebersohn (c), 11 Rayno Benjamin, 10 Sias Ebersohn, 9 Sarel Pretorius, 8 Phillip van der Walt, 7 Lappies Labuschagne, 6 Heinrich Brüssow, 5 Izak van der Westhuizen, 4 Francois Uys, 3 Ross Geldenhuys, 2 Hercu Liebenberg, 1 Marcel van der Merwe.

Miller and Vickerson fined for hits on Cam(None of which were penalized during game)
Posted 16 November 2012 - 05:51 PM
Posted 16 November 2012 - 05:53 PM
I have never seen such delusional and off base fans posting complete rubbish and never coming back to eat crow and back up their claims. I had to come see the circus for myself and thought I would clear up any uneducated bs while I was here.
i agree. the only thing worse is a rival fan who hides until his team wins and then registers to talk poo about the "delusional homers".

You should head over to the Bronco forum where about 30 of your buddies made the worst predictions of all time and failed to show up after the game like a man. And never have I once made fun of the beatdown we put on last weekend, as I believe every team goes through years of rebuilding and the NFL is always in a state of flux. I have only posted things that were either A) wrong information about the broncos or reasons why I think your team is not in a great place and C) how over the top people continue to defend Cam when some of the blame should be shouldered by him. I could be immature like many of your fans though and just troll with the "scoreboard" card but I would really not enjoy going down that road.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 09:38 PM
Miller's low tackle was not flagged.
Miller's hit and Vickerson's tackle were both flagged actually. So no it did not change the outcome of the game at all actually.
Posted 17 November 2012 - 02:17 AM
Cam has been holding on to the ball for too long, too often tries to force the play too happen, and has not shown that he can be a true leader as opposed to Voted Most Likely to Succeed. However, to completely ignore the loss of a Pro Bowl center (which statistically often means the death of a season for most teams), a veteran G poorly performing (now moved to C), and a rookie on the offensive line is a bit absurd. Top that with an entirely different offensive scheme that has proven to NOT be as successful as last season's means that it is a lot more than Cam's fault. To try and assign percentages would be foolish, as all must improve in order for the team to achieve success.
Also, I sat there during the Redskins game with a Skins fan and couldn't help but shake my head at some of the calls that were victimizing them (we had some bad ones ourselves, but their's were momentum killers). The following week I watch the Panthers get the same shafting that the Skins received (from the officials). Do you really think the game would have been as far out of reach if that return TD was overturned and the Panthers received the ball at their own 20 as the rules states they should've been? You don't have to be a homer to know when the zebras are getting hungry for some camera time.
Now go be terrible in FIFA <3
Posted 17 November 2012 - 02:28 AM
Not a problem man, always trying to help out the less educated and less informed. BTW if we are being nit-picking over calls I think MIller would have had about 3 more sacks if the blatant holding calls were made ala Greg O, but I guess a win is a win and no need to bicker.
Good Luck with that John Fox thing.
Posted 17 November 2012 - 12:47 PM
Miller's low tackle was not flagged.
yes it was,
The 15 yard penalty was given to him for a low hit
Posted 17 November 2012 - 12:54 PM
Good Luck with that John Fox thing.
Thx I guess having Manning locked up for the next 5 years was a good idea, good luck with that ron rivera thing btw. Seems to be going really smoothly for you guys.

One of the all-time greatest shapers of young people in Kinston passed away last week.
Coley Little – who taught science and coached several sports at Adkin High School, Kinston High School, Adkin Middle School, Harvey Middle School and Rochelle Middle School in a legendary four-decade career – died at Lenoir Memorial Hospital Friday. He was 81.
He positively influenced thousands of young people in Kinston as a teacher, basketball coach and track coach.
"He was a great mentor for me and a lot of other kids that grew up in our city," said Kinston, UNC and NBA superstar Jerry Stackhouse. "His passion and dedication to helping provide opportunities for young black men and women from our community will be greatly missed."
Little was inducted into the fourth class of the Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame in 2012 on the strong nomination of J. Lin Dawson. Like Stackhouse, Dawson was an inaugural member of the KLCSHOF who played football at Kinston High School, N.C. State and for a decade for the New England Patriots of the NFL.
Dawson, now the athletic director at Elizabeth City State University after similar stints at N.C. Central and Grambling State, grew up without a father. He said Little's impact on his life was immeasurable.
"He believed he could be successful by investing in human capital," Dawson said. "For hundreds of us without fathers, it certainly paid off. I consider him to be a 'people millionaire.' There are many who will die with more education, reputation, money and titles, but none that will be as rich as he was."
Little was among a group of coaches and mentors, including Skeet Davis, who helped shape many lives in Kinston.
"He'd always go out of his way to help students whenever he could," Davis said. "He was hard on the kids, but he got positive results."
Lenoir County Board of Commissioners Chairman Craig Hill grew up in Kinston and was another who felt Davis' impact. Hill was a student-athlete at Kinston High School before later becoming a coach and principal at the school.
"Coley raised many, many young men in the city of Kinston," Hill said. "He was an unsung hero for many years. He was a father figure to many young men and women in our school system and community. He emerged as an elder statesman in his later years.
"He was a true gift to our community."
Chuck Jones, who graduated from KHS in 1992 and later played college basketball, agreed with Hill's sentiment.
"He was a father figure to a lot of kids who didn't have fathers around," Jones said. "He really enjoyed helping kids and never turned his back on anyone. He treated everyone the same, too; even if you weren't the best player on his team, if you worked hard and gave your all, he would help you as much as he could."
Although he was a proud Fayetteville State University graduate, Little was an unabashed fan of N.C. State basketball. He worked camps there in the summer and would take young men on trips to the campus.
"It was never just about going to a basketball game," Lenoir County Early College Principal Nicholas Harvey II said. "It was more about going on a college campus and showing us that life was much bigger than Kinston."
On one of those trips to N.C. State in the late 1980s, Little was preparing to take Stackhouse and Jones to see the Wolfpack. With Little out of the car, Jones said one of them found a little can of mace – which they thought was an air freshener – and sprayed it in the car.
Nothing immediately happened – until Little got back to the car and started driving the three of them to Raleigh.
"We took off down Vernon Avenue and the wind started circulating that mace around the car," Jones recalled with a laugh. "All of a sudden, all of us started crying. I can't tell you what Mr. Little said, but it's something I'll never forget."
Arendell Parrott Academy head basketball coach Wells Gulledge grew up in Richmond County and played basketball at Mount Olive College. The former KHS head basketball coach met Little as a college student working a basketball camp at N.C. State.
"There are a lot of people in this community who had their lives positively impacted by Coach Little," said Gulledge, whose Vikings teams won three titles. "He was just one of those guys who loved this community and gave his all to it."
Among his myriad of accomplishments, Little started the Rochelle basketball program in the early 1990s. The "Little" Vikings were 55-1 in his four years as head coach and didn't lose a home game in their first two decades of play.
Harvey met Little as a sixth-grader at Rochelle and played for the coach in the middle school's first season with a basketball program.
"I fell in love with his passion for young adults and his enthusiasm for the game of basketball," Harvey said. "He had a dedication to do everything possible to get young men into college."
Game preparation was important to Little. Harvey said for the first two weeks of basketball practice at Rochelle, the team wouldn't pick up a basketball. Instead, the team ran drills and got in shape.
"He would take us over to the old Adkin High School gymnasium, which was larger than Rochelle, and we would run in there," Harvey said. "When we'd get on the much smaller courts, we'd run teams out of the gym. We were in much better shape than any of the teams we faced."
Little was also an employee of the Kinston-Lenoir County Parks and Recreation Department for more than 42 years, working the first 25 years or so at Holloway Recreational Center and the final decade and a half at the Neuseway Nature Center.
He was so beloved and well-respected at the Nature Center that the road leading to it was named after him a couple of years ago.
"Since he was a science teacher, he fit in well at the Nature Center," longtime Kinston-Lenoir County Parks and Recreation Director Bill Ellis said. "He was great with kids and people."
There has been a renaissance of sorts in prep basketball at KHS, with the Vikings winning five state titles in the past seven years. Kinston head basketball coach Perry Tyndall said there is a direct link to today's success from Little's influence.
"He was an extraordinary coach who had tremendous success at everything he did," said Tyndall, himself a Rochelle and Kinston graduate. "His basketball teams were super-conditioned and were built on defensive tenacity. He got a lot out of his kids and was one of a kind."
Ultimately, though, those who loved Little said he'll never be forgotten.
"Mr. Little was one of my favorite people ever," Stackhouse said. "He had an infectious spirit. No matter where you saw him, you knew you were going to have a good laugh before the conversation was over, probably more than one!"

During my trip to the Côte d'Azur with Matt and Adam, after the second or third day, we realized that we hadn't eaten in any restaurants. With the fresh ingredients available, we were preparing our own meals (pretty well, I might add), and we didn't feel the need to hand over the cooking duties to a third-party. It was a bit of heaven being in part of the country where garden-fresh vegetables are abundant, and we found ourselves gorging on local specialties that we made ourselves, like aïoli and socca, and not craving any meat or cheese.
But one restaurant did catch my eye, which many consider the best restaurant on the Côte d'Azur, and that's Mirazur, located in Menton, a small town that meets the radiantly blue Mediterranean and is literally walking distance to Italy. When I wrote to Rosa Jackson, who teaches regional cooking classes in nearby Nice, about the restaurant, she wrote me right back; "… if you go, you should arrange in advance to visit their vegetable garden, it's amazing!"

Saw this video the other day, and loved it. It's by Harmon Productions.
I like the song (Heavy in Your Arms, by Florence and the Machine), and the video works perfectly with it. It has an interesting storyline that is somewhat out of the norm.
As well, the cut in the church to the wedding is absurdly brilliant.

Applicants, for whom English is not their first language, are required to demonstrate evidence of mastery of the English language for graduate study. The standard for this is through the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The seminary requires the following minimum scores for degrees:
- Th.M., D.Min., and the Doctor of Intercultural Studies require a 25 on each of the four sections of the TOEFl-IBT (600 on the paper-based exam or 250 on the computer-based exam and a 4.5 writing score).
- M.A. in Counseling, M.A. in Marital and Family Therapy, M.A. in Ministry and Leadership Coaching Track and Certificate in Transformational Coaching programs require a 20 each on reading and writing sections and 25 each on the speaking and listening sections of the TOEFL-IBT.
- M.Div., M.A. (other than those mentioned above), Graduate Studies Diploma, and Graduate Studies Certificate require a 20 each on the four sections of the TOEFl-IBT (550 on the paper-based exam or 213 on the computer-based exam and a 3.5 writing score).
Because the TOEFL exam is given only a limited number of times each year, the applicant should allow sufficient time for the results to be included in the seminary admissions process.
The institution code of Western Seminary, to be written on the test paper, is 4968.

Yesterday, you insensitive clod!
Saturday - Productivity at home is much more important to me than productivity at work.
As someone that does desktop support and whose work is quantified by the number of tickets closed each day, Friday is the most productive since that's the day I mass close all tickets which the customer has failed to respond to my attempts to communicate with them. As well as mass close all tickets over 2 weeks old even if I never attempted to contact the customer due to having too much work to do already. Fridays are awesome. Tuesday's are the worst, most people are too hungover to bother trying to show up for work on Monday so we don't get many tickets on that day, but they start showing up to work again on Tuesday and have either forgotten passwords, broken shit, or are too damn lazy to fill out some form they need to fill out and instead just call in a ticket. Idiots.
Don't worry, they're adjusting for standard deviation and are well aware of how much work you're actually doing and how much you're dropping-as-closed...
It really amazes me how people can forget a password over a weekend. Either they are choosing overly complex passwords, or I'm having overly dull weekends.

You took the time to express your desire to join. I don't think you're ASP material. Oh dammit... the phone rang and I just got booted. I'll show him though, I'll call the president as soon as I get around to it, and then he'll totally be out of there too...
Friday, because a lot of people in my office either telecommute or have 9/80 schedules, or just take vacation/sick days on Fridays a lot. So there are just less people around to interrupt me and I can get more done.
Similarly here. My most productive time is early in the morning before anyone else has come to office. The end of the day is also productive on many occasions, because I'll look at the clock, realize there's only a couple hours left, and work hard until the end of the day. The time goes by faster when you're busy. But that only works some days. Many days, by the time 3 o'clock rolls around, I'm exhausted.
I too voted Friday. I did so because I am always in a great mood. It's the last day of the week and I get to start the weekend soon (not that I am one of those "two more days til Friday" people). I also usually prepare a weekly report of what was accomplished that week. This is a good motivator as I want the weekly report to look good, so I get motivated to knock out things that in all honesty I should have already done, but I was just dreading.

Zero Meetings Thursday (Score:5, Interesting)
We have a policy of not scheduling meetings on Thursdays. It's not 100% perfect but the meetings are fewer to non-existent on Thursdays so it's the most productive.
The morning hours are also most productive for me because I come in a couple of hours before others do so I can get a bunch of stuff done before I start getting interrupted. I used to have IM up but I was getting interrupted so often that I have a note: "IM is up for 5 interruptions then closed" as my message.
I keep track of my tasks in a database for yearly reviews among other things and find I log more hours on Wednesdays. Which doesn't necessarily make it more productive
There is something about Thursday's that I couldn't ever get a handle on.
I'm self-employed, you insensitive clod! I work whenever it suits me, seven days a week, and haven't paid any attention to weekdays or weekends on any of that nonsense for years.

Generally Sunday is my most productive day. Getting done all the stuff I put off from Saturday that had to be done.
Why is it that house work is never 'finished'?
Why is it that house work is never 'finished'?
Well, there is actually an interesting answer to that question...
There are vastly more ways for a house to be in disorder than there are for it to be in order, so anything that you do in home that isn't an effort aimed at decreasing the disorder of the house is very likely going to increase the disorder just by accident. That also explains why you need to clean up after you've cleaned the house, unless do everything in a perfectly planned and choreographed way.
And the always popular: "The cleaners are due tomorrow, I really must tidy up when I get home form work tonight."
Because I have 3 kids and they have a grandparent who can't resist buying stuff for them
My weekends are counter-productive, I start out with a list of things I should get done but end up tinkering, playing, partying, chilling or whatever else I fancy instead. Nothing gets stricken and usually the list grows to include cleaning up and shaping up after the weekend. In fact, most things that produce a tangible output are chores I need to do for housekeeping, maintenance or other general upkeep of my belongings or person.

1. Students are out the door as soon as they finish classes. This results in Friday being the quietest day in my building as well as the least busy day for student consultations.
2. Many of my coworkers who have arranged a 4-day-work-week schedule are out (so less "problems" that I'm needed to fix or just less chit-chat)

Because I can't sleep when I had too much coffee I sort of muddle on on most days. However on Saturday I can sleep in so falling asleep late on Friday isn't a problem. Thus on Fridays I can drink more coffee and there is so much that just becomes clear once I have enough coffee to really wake up. In effect I get about three times as much done on Friday.

Because of all the things promised to be done "By next week."
procrastinate - to put off until tomorrow perendinate - to put off until the day after tomorrow I'm sure you'll know what to do with this knowledge.

I go to work, have a long Malaysian-restaurant lunch, then go home and work on my own projects from about 6pm 'til 5am. Last Friday I designed and simulated a VHDL SHA-1 module for an FPGA.
I guess most people are just guessing their productivity. However I could look it up in FishEye, which tells me my number of commits per day and hour. Wednesday wins, as does 15:00h. Monday on the other hand is my least productive day.... But I do not really hate mondays...
According to this: http://cep.lse.ac.uk/pubs/down... [lse.ac.uk] (see figure 1) most work is done on Tuesday through Thursday, with Wednesday being the most productive. This matches the old story about a boss deciding people must be faking sickness because 20% of days off are taken on Monday and Friday.
because that's when I get everything done.
if everything is done today
there's no reason to exist tomorrow

The wool of Merino sheep was highly prized and for centuries the flocks were not allowed to be exported from their home in Spain. One of the few individuals to get Merinos into the United States was U.S. minister to Spain David Humphreys, who imported twenty-five rams and seventy-five ewes to his home in Connecticut in 1802. The Library of Virginia has a copy of Humphreys's 1804 book The miscellaneous works of David Humphreys, late minister plenipotentiary —to the court of Madrid, which contains an essay on Merino sheep. Thomas Jefferson was also particularly interested in the improvements of sheep herds and by 1810 had acquired his own herd of Merino sheep. The demand for Merinos soon reached manic proportions, a bubble was created, and like all bubbles there was a crash. (For more on this subject see Monticello's article on sheep.)
Amongst the Cowling Papers found in the City of Richmond records is a letter dated 14 August 1827 from William DuVal (1748-1842), a Virginia lawyer, legislator, and planter, to Willis Cowling (1788-1828), a Richmond cabinetmaker. Enclosed in the letter is a sample of Merino wool. DuVal wrote to ask Cowling if he would sell two hundred pounds of Merino wool to buy material for slave clothing. Cowling was a good choice for carrying out DuVal's request as he regularly dealt with merchants … read more »

|Congratulations to the Graduates of the ACH RN Residency Program - Cohort 8
Eight ACH nurses graduated last week from Cohort 8 of the RN Residency Program. This group began their nursing careers at ACH in August 2012.
Graduates included:
* The 3 residents in the Critical Care RN Residency Track began their RN roles on the Pediatric Medicine unit, then took part in an intense critical care education program. Toward the end of their first year, they transitioned fully to the ICU environment. This is our second group of RN Residents who have completed the Critical Care Track.
"Imagine coming out of nursing school and being selected for a critical care residency. There is so much to absorb your first year and we want to make it an environment that is safe and based on milestones," said Hella Ewing, ACH Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer. "Getting to know your hospital, time management skills, computer documentation and fine tuning assessment skills are all essential first steps for any new nurse. This program allows them to build their foundation prior to transitioning them to the critical care environment. We are proud of their accomplishment."
The All Children's Hospital RN Residency Program is dedicated to providing a 12-month foundational program for the graduate or otherwise eligible nurse to provide the support and knowledge to grow into a competent pediatric professional practitioner. In addition to hospital nursing orientation, the RN Residency Program consists of 40 hours of general classes within the first 10 weeks, followed by a 4-hour survive & thrive session, scheduled monthly for the remainder of the first year. These classes are accompanied by preceptor-led orientation to the unit of hire, unit specific classes and training, looping opportunities to other hospital departments and services, simulation, a mentor program, clinical debriefings, and support time/self-care sessions.

Jerome Kaino has been named New Zealand's Player of the year while Bryce Lawrence has been awarded the country's best referee prize.
Kaino was heavily-tipped to win the IRB Player of the Year accolade following his consistent performances for the All Blacks, but was eventually beaten to the award by France captain Thierry Dusautoir, On Thursday, Kaino received some consolation in the form of the Kelvin R Tremain Memorial Player of the Year trophy.
The Super Rugby Player of the Year award went to Wyatt Crockett, who was a shock omission from the All Blacks' World Cup squad. Predictably, the All Blacks won Team of the Year and mentor Graham Henry was named Coach of the Year.
Despite his consistently poor showing in the World Cup quarterfinal game between Australia and South Africa, as well as the shocker in the Super Rugby play-off match between the Crusaders and the Sharks, Bryce Lawrence was acknowledged as New Zealand's Referee of the Year.

Prince George's birth celebrated, analyzed

Gareth Wade is a member of the British-American Business Council of the Pacific Northwest. The Lynnwood resident, who considers himself a monarchist, is thrilled with news of the royal baby's arrival.

Mark Mulligan / Herald File 2011
Knitters at the Everett Public Library, who crafted this royal wedding scene in 2011, hope to update the collection with a new knitting project that includes the Prince of Cambridge.
"It's almost like control-alt-delete on the royal family moving forward, with Kate and William and the new baby. It's a reboot of the old establishment," the Lynnwood man said.
Wade, 50, is a member of the British-American Business Council of the Pacific Northwest. The group turned its summer networking night, held Thursday at Seattle's Republic Bar, into a royal baby celebration. Members could take a guess at the newborn's name, in advance via Facebook, for a chance to win a bottle of champagne.
Wade was way off with one prediction. Before Monday's royal birth, he thought the first child of Prince William and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, would be a girl.
"I was so certain," said Wade, a native of Edinburgh, Scotland. Once the baby boy arrived, Wade was right about the other big question. "I'm thinking it's going to be George," he said Monday, shortly after the birth was announced.
Sure enough, on Wednesday the world learned that the youngest heir to the British throne would be called George Alexander Louis. Wade wasn't surprised.
"It's classic and traditional. I think it's a good name for this little chap," he said Thursday. "It pays tribute to his grandfather, because George is one of Charles' names, and it pays tribute to George VI, the queen's father."
Calling Alexander "a bit of a surprise," Wade said he suspects it's a nod to the queen, whose name is Elizabeth Alexandra Mary. Louis, he said, is a clear tribute to Lord Louis Mountbatten, a grand-uncle and mentor to Prince Charles.
Wade moved here a decade ago for business, and is married to an American. He remains a fan of the royals. He remembers getting a day off from school for Princess Anne's first wedding in 1973.
"As a monarchist I'm particularly excited that a child has been welcomed into the royal family," he said. And baby George is a male heir, which still matters.
In 2011, leaders of 16 British Commonwealth countries approved changes that would give a first-born daughter of any future monarch precedence over younger brothers in succession to the throne. The unwieldy process of changing constitutions and succession laws in all those countries wasn't finished in time for the royal birth.
"If it had been a girl-- I'm not sure," Wade said. "Now they don't have to worry about it."
Wade said his father served in the Royal Navy with Queen Elizabeth's husband Prince Philip. "Love them or hate them, the royals were part of the social fabric when I was growing up," he said. Wade knows many don't share his enthusiasm.
Geoffrey Wall, an Englishman who owns the Piccadilly Circus Pub in Snohomish, sees the British monarchy as a costly relic of the past.
"I'm not what you would call a royalist. They're basically welfare. Prince Charles has never worked a day in his life," said Wall, 72, who ran the Piccadilly Circus gift shop in Snohomish before opening the pub nine years ago.
Wall was born in Grays, Essex, outside of London. During World War II, his family moved to Manchester as the Germans bombed London. He left school at 14, and by 17 was playing professional soccer. That career took him to Australia, South Africa and South America before he settled in the Seattle area.
Prince George's birth has done nothing to soften his feelings toward the royals. "To tell you the truth, I really have no interest -- the reason being everybody has babies every day," Wall said. He believes most British people share his views. "Over the years people have gotten fed up with supporting the royal family," Wall said.
We aren't loyal subjects, but here across the pond Americans are still fascinated by royal Brits, especially the tiny new one.
In 2011, knitters on the staff at the Everett Public Library crafted the wedding party of Prince William and Kate Middleton, following patterns in a book called "Knit Your Own Royal Wedding."
The knitted figures cleaned up at the Evergreen State Fair, winning four ribbons, said Kim Payne, a librarian who worked on the project. Fiona Goble, who created the first book, is out with a new pattern, "Knit Your Own Royal Baby."
"We've been talking about it," said Payne, who expects the library knitters to soon update the collection.
Library technician Carol Ellison has written an Everett Public Library blog about her reading preferences as an Anglophile. Born in 1981, the year before Prince William's birth, she said "all the girls in our class considered him our prince." Ellison said it stung a bit to see his wedding, "even though I'm happily married.
Payne doesn't believe it when someone says they couldn't care less about the royals. "I think they are secretly following it," she said.
Ever the monarchist, Wade said he saw on Twitter a comment "that the royal birth kept people's interest in labour longer that the Labour Party in the UK could."
"I do think that Wills and Kate have just bought the monarchy another 80 years," he said.
