Home Health Aide: Educational Requirements
Home health aides require little formal education. Learn about the training, job duties and certification requirements to see if this is the right career for you.
Essential Information
Home health aides go to a patient's home, or work in a residential facility, to deliver health care to the elderly, ill, or disabled. Home health aides usually work with patients that need more extensive physical/medical care than a typical family can provide. While no formal education is required to secure a position as a home health aide, certificate and training courses are available from many postsecondary institutes. Optional certification is also available.
|Required Education
|None mandatory; certificate programs are available
|Other Requirements
|Optional National Association for Home Care and Hospice (NAHC) certification
|Projected Job Growth (2012-2022)
|Median Salary (May 2013)
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Educational Requirements
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), educational requirements for home health aides vary depending on their employer (www.bls.gov). Aides who work for organizations that receive funds from Medicare or Medicaid must complete formal training, while those who work for private companies do not have to meet these obligations. On-the-job training is often provided by more experienced aides, nursing assistants (CNAs), licensed practical or registered nurses may provide this training.
Aspiring home health aides receive training to provide daily care to patients and basic health-related services. They check patient pulse rates, temperature and blood pressure readings, as well as assist with administering medication or therapy. Other duties may include cleaning bed pans and changing linens. Home health aides need compassion, integrity, dependability, and a cheerful attitude to perform their role.
The BLS noted that as of May 2013, home health aides' median salary was $21,020. Jobs in this area are expected to grow at the extremely fast rate of 48% between 2012 and 2022.
Home Health Aide Certificate Programs
For formal training, prospective candidates may look to programs offered by community colleges and other postsecondary institutions. These programs often last a semester, and applicants may need to complete a physical examination, including state-mandated blood tests, and a background check in order to enroll. Students must also be certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Home health aide certificate programs teach students to help control infectious diseases and manage patients. Students may also receive training on working with people who need spiritual, emotional and social support. Upon completion, graduates are eligible to take a state competency examination.
Home health aides may look to the National Association for Home Care and Hospice (NAHC) to become certified (www.nahc.org). To earn their credentials, applicants must complete 75 hours of training, demonstrate their skills and pass a written examination. The BLS notes that candidates in some states may need to complete additional requirements to obtain certification.

Lugging around quarters will become necessity of the past for parking Downtown as new multi-space and single-space "smart" parking meters eventually replace nearly 75 percent of the coin-only models.
"Smart" parking meters have sprung up in cities across the country over the past few years, with their popularity due to being more flexible and adaptable than previous models. A single multi-space meter can cover the parking spaces of an entire block and will accept both credit cards and coins.
Last year, the City Council approved a $6.6-million upgrade for parking meters. The first multi-space meters were installed in the North Loop and Warehouse District areas last fall.
"The old meters have reached the end of their lifespan and needed to be replaced over time," said city spokesman Matt Laible. "The mechanisms fail more frequently."
Another system designed around rechargeable parking cards has nearly been phased out. The cards are still accepted on the older machines but are no longer available for sale or recharge.
The city began looking a few years ago at how the current generation of meters would evolve and found multi-space and credit card models were replacing older, coin-operated meters in large cities across the U.S.
The newer models have a user-friendly appeal. They alert drivers when their vehicles are parked in tow-away zones, for example, and inform them when their car should be moved.
The new meters also offer the capability of payment via cell phone. Even though the feature is not yet active, it's something the city has the option of adding in the future, Laible said.
On top of those advantages, they're also green.
Using the city's Wi-Fi system, the solar-powered meters transmit data on parking meter usage through to Traffic Control Agents and city traffic and parking engineers. The system alerts officers to parking violations and allows for enhanced monitoring of how well the parking system is working.
The meters indicate when they are full of coins, so crews will spend less time collecting money. The option to pay by credit or debit card also mean crews will have fewer coins to collect.
On top of the 6,800 parking meters located throughout the city, an additional 200 meters are in the process of being installed this year and another 200 meters will be added in 2012.
Meters throughout the city have varying time restrictions and rates, ranging from an hourly rate of 25 cents to $2
To use the multi-space meters, first identify the numbered space sign for your parking spot, then find the nearest multi-space meter pay station — usually located in the center of the block and marked with a green parking logo.
Type in your space number and press enter. Then, insert enough quarters or dollars coins, or a credit or debit card for the amount of time you wish to park. Press the green "print receipt" button to complete the transaction. Make sure to keep your receipt as it indicates what time your meter expires.
How to avoid a parking ticket
It's always a dreaded experience — noticing that white envelop with the red strip on your car. Here are some tips from the city on avoiding parking tickets.
Watch for permanent and temporary signs. New parking restrictions come up all of the time. Watch for new loading zones, no parking zones and rush-hour zones. Temporary no-parking restrictions also pop up for construction zones, street cleaning, street repair, emergencies, tree trimming, water or sewer line work and special events.
Read the parking meters. Many people forget to read the information on the meter before they put in their coins. Make sure you take note of the day and hours the meters are in effect, whether there are rush-hour parking restrictions and if your meter is malfunctioning, call 612-673-5750.
Stay away from the corners of intersections. The city bans motorists from parking within 20 feet of inside edge of the intersecting sidewalk.
Avoid bus stops. People often pull up near bus stops to wait for a friend or run an errand, which forces Metro Transit drivers to unload and load passengers on the street.
Park safely near schools. Many streets near schools have restricted parking during the school day. Drivers should never double park near schools to drop off or pick up children.
Use off-street parking. Parking meters are designed for quick trips.
If you have a long appointment, use off-street parking. Staying in a parking meter longer than a posted time limit is a violation — that includes "re-feeding" the meter for more time.
Know the difference between "No Parking" and "No Stopping." The No Stopping Zone is the city's most restrictive parking regulation. If you stop in one of these zones, you can be ticketed and towed. In a No Parking Zone, you can park for up to five minutes.
Residential parking restrictions. The city has established more than 20 Critical Traffic and Parking areas to alleviate parking pressure in densely populated neighborhoods. These areas require a permit for parking.
Pay special attention to signing and parking meters in the Warehouse District. This area has late-night parking restrictions, extended parking meter hours and No Stopping Zones. Hennepin and 1st avenues were recently converted to two-way streets. On 1st Avenue, motorists are required to park further away from the curb to accommodate new bike lanes.
Know the Snow Emergency Rules. Stay aware of parking restrictions during heavy snow days.
New parking option
Interstate Parking has a new Parking on the Edge Program. For prices starting at $50 a month, drivers can park at a variety of locations on the edge of Downtown and then take a bus into the city's core. For more details, check out interstateparking.com or call 375-1301.
More resources
For more information on parking, visit the city's website — ci.minneapolis.mn.us/parking or go to MPLS Parking at mplsparking.com. The Downtown Minneapolis Transportation Management Organization is another great resource for commuters. Check out its site at mplstmo.org.

This restaurant feels straight out of the Valley of the Dolls movie. Mid-century modern design gives vintage appeal that blends in with the restaurant's updated Italian cuisine and Californian sensibility. Fresh food concepts are created by Chef Mirko Paderno, who favors seasonal ingredients. Enjoy a starter of fritto misto or a cauliflower soufflé; for dinner try the classic chicken diavolo, beef short ribs, or a risotto Milanese. Private poolside cabanas are a favorite for celebratory occasions.

BP Manager Didn't See 'High Risk' in Drilling
BP's head of drilling engineering for the Gulf of Mexico at the time of the Deepwater Horizon disaster testified he didn't believe deepwater drilling was a "high-risk" activity before the 2010 blowout of the company's Macondo well.
Jonathan Sprague's March 2011 testimony is contained in a batch of documents plaintiffs' lawyers submitted Thursday to the federal judge presiding over a trial for litigation spawned by the massive Gulf oil spill.
During a pretrial deposition, Sprague said he recognized the risks associated with deepwater wells but thought they could be eliminated before the deadly rig explosion and the nation's worst offshore oil spill.
Plaintiffs' lawyers and government attorneys claim BP and its contractors ignored risks in a rush to complete the Macondo project.

Zarine Khan was admitted to hospital following a severe bout of vomitting. She has been diagnosed with severe food poisoning. Says a friend of Zarine, "She was promoting her film in Punjab and had just got back a week ago. The following day she decided to take her family out for lunch when she began throwing up profusely. It just wouldn't stop and as she started getting progressively weaker, Zarine had to be rushed to Lilavati Hospital where the doctor asked her to be admitted immediately. She was diagnosed with acute food poisoning and has been there for a week now and still under observation.
Zarine has lost a lot of fluid and will be kept at the hospital till she recovers completely." The friend adds that Zarine has started responding to emails and messages only since yesterday. "Even after she gets out which is hopefully three days from now, she will be resting at home and getting back to work only after the 9th or 10th as she is very weak." The friend says she has had no visitors from Bollywood,"Only her family will be allowed to meet her. Her mom and sister take turns to be with her at the hospital."

Though the breathtaking vistas of Big Sky Country in Ilisa Barbash and Lucien Castaing-Taylor's unforgettable sheep-herding documentary come close to heaven, it's telling that AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" can be faintly heard over the sound of the electric contraptions that hired hands use to shear the docile creatures, one of the preparatory stages before the round-up begins. A record of the last time, in the early aughts, that cowboys led their flocks up into Montana's Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains for summer pasture, Sweetgrass captures the arduousness and the awe (not awww) of a vanishing way of life. Animals strike curious poses: One of the white, fluffy sheep stares right into Castaing-Taylor's camera as the film begins, a moment played not for critter cuteness but for ovine empathy, immediately setting the patient, unsentimental, observational tone. Just as you begin to distinguish the sounds of different bleats, you witness the absurd force of the sheep en masse as they run past a Radio Shack on a small-town street. High up in the mountains, they become unwieldy, leading enraged herder Pat Connolly to string together the most inspired blue streak ever uttered against ewes. Sweetgrass reminds us of the stupefying magnificence of its setting—beautiful for spacious skies and mountain majesties—while never letting us forget its formidable perils.

Financial hub Luxembourg under increased scrutiny
Monday - 4/8/2013, 2:20am EDT
Associated Press
BRUSSELS (AP) -- As the European Union's wealthiest country, Luxembourg could have been forgiven for thinking that it would never find itself on the bloc's financial risk list.
With just half a million people living on a tiny patch of lush land nestled between Belgium, France and Germany, Luxembourg is as tranquil as a buzzing financial center gets. Still, some of Europe's regulators and politicians have started wondering aloud whether its banks might be holding the 17-nation eurozone's next ticking bomb.
Following the chaotic bailout for Cyprus last week, European officials have been drawing worrying comparisons between the two countries' oversized financial industries.
Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank, cautioned on Thursday that "the recent experience shows that countries where the banking sector is several times bigger than the economy are countries that, on average, have more vulnerabilities."
"Financial shocks hit these countries stronger, simply because of the size of their banking sector."
The increased scrutiny has taken Luxembourg's government by surprise and put it on the defensive. It has rejected calls to shrink its country's main source of wealth to a more manageable size, claiming that its banking industry is much more secure than Cyprus's and any crackdown would not only harm its own economy but that of the wider eurozone.
Cyprus was forced to seek a bailout from its eurozone partners after its once-thriving banking industry collapsed. The country couldn't afford to bail out its financial sector which, thanks to massive deposits of foreigners, had grown to eight times the size of its economy. The 10 billion euro ($13 billion) rescue loan package comes with tough austerity measures attached, as well as a brutal shrinking of the banking industry and significant losses for savers with deposits larger than 100,000 euros.
In comparison, the balance sheets of the banks in Luxembourg have swollen to about 22 times the country's annual economic output of 44 billion euros -- making it Europe's richest country per capita. The country is also the world's second-largest center for investment funds, with about 3,800 funds holding assets worth EUR2.5 trillion ($3.2 trillion) -- about 55 times the country's gross domestic product. It has 141 banks based there, with five of them domestic institutions and the remainder being mainly divisions of foreign banks.
"There are no parallels between Cyprus and Luxembourg, and we don't allow any parallels to be forced on us," Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker said last week. "Cyprus is a special case; other financial hubs in Europe don't have these problems."
Luxembourg also has relatively little debt, so it could afford to borrow to bail out the odd bank. But if it faced a widespread problem, it might not be able to cope.
"One does not want to imagine what would happen if the whole banking sector were to derail," said lawmaker Joachim Poss, the deputy caucus leader of Germany's Social Democrats, the country's main opposition party.
If things in Luxembourg's financial sector were to go wrong, the country might not get help from its eurozone partners so easily. For one thing, it won't be able to say it wasn't warned.
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the plain-spoken chairman of the bloc's 17 finance ministers, warned other countries with outsized banking sectors to "deal with it before you get in trouble."
"Strengthen your banks, fix your balance sheets, and realize that if a bank gets in trouble the response will no longer automatically be we'll come and take away your problems."
Stung by the comparison with Cyprus and concerned for the future of its banking industry, Luxembourg's leaders have begun to fight back. They have accused EU officials, and Germany in particular, of bullying smaller countries and seeking to "strangulate" its financial industry -- which represents 27 percent of the country's annual economic output, a third of the tax revenues and employs 20 percent of the workforce.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, representing Europe's biggest economy, openly wondered last month whether a business model relying too heavily on banks can still be seen as viable after the Cyprus debacle. That immediately prompted an outcry in Luxembourg.
"Germany does not have the right to define the business models for other countries in the EU," said Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn.
Luxembourg's government says its financial sector "acts as an important gateway for the euro area by attracting investments, thus enhancing the eurozone's competitiveness as a whole while being effectively supervised".
The government rejects the idea of looking at the size of its financial sector only in relation to its GDP.

Women outnumber men in BPOs, says NSO
popular .
Women outnumber men in the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector, but men corner the higher-paying jobs, according to the National Statistics Office.
NSO data showed that 54.9 percent, or 212,990, of the industry's total workforce are female.
The results of the 2010 Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry (ASPBI) released recently also showed that women mostly take on jobs in data processing, application hosting, call center and medical transcription services.
"That is the trend in all countries in Asia except in India. My personal guess is, many women are attracted to the customer service jobs which comprise the bulk of our personnel," Gigi Virata, senior executive director of the Business Processing Association of the Philippines, told the Inquirer.
The outnumbered men, however, dominate the higher-paying jobs in software publishing, motion picture, video and television programming post-production and computer programming.
The statistics agency said workers in software publishing get the fattest paychecks with each employee getting an annual compensation of P762,999.
It was followed by employees in computer programming activities with P543,229 and motion picture, video and television programming post-production activities with P495,084.—Niña P. Calleja

NEW ORLEANS - Flanked by his team's four gleaming national championship trophies, LSU coach Les Miles was already looking for more.'I have the next year plan right here,' Miles said, drawing laughs from reporters and LSU hangers-on at a morning news conference. 'The next year plan, OK, first of all, we expect to be a very strong football team.' Next year can wait. On Tuesday, Miles and most of this city celebrated LSU's second Bowl Championship Series title, earned the night before in a decisive 38-24 victory over previously top-ranked Ohio State in the Superdome. At an early morning celebration, Miles stood on the balcony of a French Quarter hotel and raised a replica of the BCS trophy to delirious fans on Bourbon Street. At about 9 a.m., Miles answered his cell phone and heard an unfamiliar female voice. 'She said, 'Please hold for the president of the United States,' Miles said. 'I went, 'OK.' 'He was just very kind, very complimentary of our team. He just said, 'I watched your team, your team overcame hurdles.' Miles will soon be making a few important calls of his own. He'll be on the recruiting trail, looking for talent to keep the Tigers among the national elite. 'I can promise you that it's a little early to say we have it all figured out,' Miles said. 'But the goals will be the same. The goals will be 100 percent graduation rate and a national championship. And I suspect this team will fight like heck to get that done.' LSU's passionate legions expect the Tigers to win the national title every year. Reality is harsher, but LSU (12-2) has become the first two-time champion in the 10-year history of the BCS and the first to lose two games in a championship season. There are many reasons to believe the Tigers will be in the hunt again in 2008. Although they lose quarterback Matt Flynn, tailback Jacob Hester and defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey, the Tigers have plenty of players eager to step in. A trio of sophomores helped lead the charge against Ohio State - tight end Richard Dickson, who caught two touchdown passes; wide receiver Brandon LaFell, who also caught a touchdown pass; and defensive tackle Ricky Jean-Francois, named the game's Most Outstanding Defensive Player after blocking an Ohio State field goal attempt. The Tigers overcame an early 10-0 deficit, reeling off 31 unanswered points in a little more than 23 minutes. 'They understand what being pinned down means,' Miles said. 'They understand what it takes to come back and fight and overcome hurdles. I think this game was not unlike other games we played all year long.' Some would say the Tigers have taken on the coach's feistiness. Miles is the new king of the bayou, a position held by Nick Saban after he led the Tigers to the 2003 BCS title. Saban became reviled among many LSU followers when he bolted for the NFL's Miami Dolphins. Miles' stature grew when he passed on a chance to coach at Michigan, his alma mater. Now he's given LSU fans another reason to revere him. 'I have to be honest, it's not sunk in yet,' Miles said. Miles replaced Saban after the 2004 season. In his first two years at LSU, Miles thought the Tigers were good enough to contend for the national title. Both times they went 11-2 and fell short. LSU lost two games again this year. But as a wild college football season played out and other contenders fell, the Tigers found themselves with an unexpected shot at the national title, and they didn't waste it. Miles brushed aside talk that other teams - including USC and Georgia - also deserved a chance to play for the title. University of Georgia president Michael Adams released a proposal for an eight-team college football playoff on Tuesday. Miles said he thought his team would fare well in such a scheme, but he didn't have to indulge in what-ifs. He had plenty of actual hardware to tote back to Baton Rouge. 'It's nice that there's no indecision,' Miles said. 'There's one national champion. 'I don't know if there's not more talented teams. But I can promise you this: this by far and away is the finest football team this year.' LSU was a runaway No. 1 in the final Associated Press poll. The Tigers received 60 of 65 first-place votes from a national media panel. Georgia, Southern California, Missouri and Ohio State rounded out the top five. Georgia had three first-place votes while Southern California and No. 7 Kansas each had one. SideBar: GWINNETT IN THE BOWLS Win or lose, it was a distinguished bowl season for college football players from Gwinnett County. Here are some of the top performances: Larry Grant, Ohio State The senior linebacker from Norcross was in on eight tackles and knocked down a pass on a blitz during the Buckeyes' 38-24 loss to LSU in the BCS Championship Game. Unfortunately, it was the fourth consecutive loss in a national title game for Grant, two with Ohio State and two with San Francisco City College. Cameron Heyward, Ohio State The freshman All-American defensive tackle from Peachtree Ridge was in on three tackles against LSU, including a solo stop for a loss. He also broke up a pass. Justin Roper, Oregon Making his first college start, the redshirt freshman from Buford threw four touchdown passes in the Ducks' 56-21 victory over South Florida in the Sun Bowl. He was 17-for-30 for 180 yards and didn't have an interception. Brandon Coutu, Georgia The senior from Collins Hill was 2-for-2 on field goals in the Bulldogs' 41-10 victory over Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl, connecting from 52 and 45 yards. SEC teams went 7-2 in bowl games. Rennie Curran, Georgia The freshman linebacker from Brookwood was in on seven tackles against Hawaii, two of them for losses. The Bulldogs (11-2) finished No. 2 in the media poll and No. 3 in the coaches' poll. Tyler Donaldson, New Mexico The senior defensive end from Central Gwinnett was in on six tackles and shared a sack as the Lobos blanked Nevada 23-0 in the New Mexico Bowl to finish 9-4. He was an All-Mountain West Conference choice for the second year in a row. Chad Hall, Air Force The versatile senior from Wesleyan had 179 all-purpose yards and a 4-yard touchdown run in Air Force's 42-36 loss to California in the Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth. He had 63 yards on 19 carries, caught four passes for 36 yards and gained 80 yards on four kickoff returns. Micah Andrews, Wake Forest The senior running back from Greater Atlanta Christian rushed for 64 yards on nine carries - all in the fourth quarter - and scored the clinching touchdown from the 9-yard-line with 29 seconds remaining as the Deacons beat Connecticut in the Meineke Bowl at Charlotte. Brad Lester, Auburn The junior from Parkview had 57 yards on 14 carries and caught three passes for 24 yards in Auburn's 23-20 overtime victory over Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Rod Smith, Auburn The junior from South Gwinnett caught four passes for 45 yards against Clemson. He was the leading receiver on the season for Auburn, which finished 9-4. - From staff reports

On Quality of Life: School Health Programs; Fresno Unified
Segment 1: School Health Programs - When we hear about budget problems in California schools, we usually think of teachers losing their jobs. But school nurses are also worried about job security and cuts to student health services. On this edition of Quality of Life, correspondent Shellie Branco brings us a feature report on school health, and talks with school nurses and one Visalia family who relies on them. We are also joined by guests Linda Davis-Alldritt, RN, a School Nurse Consultant for California Department of Education, and Kevin Hamilton, Deputy Chief of Program of Clinica Sierra Vista, which serves Kern and Fresno Counties. Together, they talk about a new state law that mandates pertusssis booster shots for students entering grades 7-12 starting July 1.
Segment 2: Fresno Unified - Last week on our program author and journalist Mark Arax strongly criticized the Fresno Unified School District, calling it "most broken district in the state," and leveled serious allegations about Superintendent Michael Hanson's driving record. The interview sparked a flurry of discussion in the local media and community, including calls by some FUSD Trustees for an inquiry into the alleged incidents. This week, we present a differing view of the district, and of Hanson's leadership, with guest Pete Weber. A local business leader, Weber was one of the principal authors of a report called "Choosing Our Future." The report was commissioned by the district as it was on the verge of state takeover prior to Hanson's hiring. Weber provides his views on the progress made since 2005 and areas that still need improvement.

Wonderfull camera9/7/2012
I've had the T1i for about almost week now and after some extensive use, here are my thoughts: 1. 15.1 megapixel sensor. Yes, the high megapixel count is impressive, but keep in mind that, as you approach higher resolutions, you need to ensure the lens on the SLR can resolve that much detail. Sadly, the included 18-55mm IS lens is functional, but the high resolution really shows the so-so quality of the lens. Even if taken at the proper focus, pictures can appear soft with this kit lens. Shots I have taken with Canon EF-S 17-85mm and EF 70-200mm L lenses are crisp. I don't have any gripes on image quality. There are some issues with noise on the higher ISOs that don't seem to show up on the Nikon digitals, but overall, the quality is amazing for the price. Skin tones, textures, colors are reproduced very accurately. 2. Digic 4. The Digic 4 processor appears to process/save the 15 megapixel images in the same time (if not faster) than the Digic III processor on the XSi (even in RAW+Jpg mode). I have also noticed that at higher ISOs, the sensor and the Digic 4 produce images with less overall noise compared with its predecessors.
Absolutely reccomended6/13/2012
It's a great camera, easy to use if you are a beginner or even an advanced user. Incredible colour definition. You get very expressive photographs.
Great camera6/11/2012
There are so many little features on this camera that come in handy, like spot metering and mirror lock up to name a couple, that it becomes hard for me to believe they call this an "entry level D-SLR."
Canon Rebel T1i, T2i and T3i2/16/2012
Canon Rebel T1i, T2i and T3i are all excellence value! I own a T1i since 2009. It takes much better picture than my old Nikon D50. With T1i, you don't have to buy expensive and heavy lens. The kit lens are great! (better than my old Tokina 28-70mmF/2.6-2.8, except indoor with low light.) I added a 50mm F/1.8 with it for indoor photos.
Love this camera9/15/2011
This is my first entry into a slr camera. I have had 35mm camera's before and have been using point & shoot camera in the past 10 years. The only complaint is the lens cap is not connected. I lost it in the first month and had to order one with a string. I was impressed with quality of the video though it does use a lot of memory space so you need a large memory card if you are going to a lot of video.
Just as good as the t2i for 98% of shots8/30/2011
Bought this kit from CAMETA approximately a year ago and can't say anything bad about it. Maybe a pro could find something negative to talk about but for us guys that need a camera for the pictures that you need it performs great.
it is easy to use and comfortable. its good performance. image quality is fine. its give reality to the images in this camera pictures.
Great all around camera for the amature8/30/2011
Use this camera mainly for my granddaughters high school soccer matches which are mainly at night with stadium lighting. Have no problems getting great action shots without a flash using manual settings and Canon zoom lens.
Auto focus does not focus often.8/30/2011
Auto focus does not find the object wanted most of the time. I use my camera mostly for bird photography and most of my photos are out of focus. Perhaps if I took more time and read the instructions I would not be so critical. Trial and error is not working for me. Maybe with more time I will rate the camera better but for now not so much.
Couldn't be happier2/9/2011
I love my new camera. I upgraded from a Nikon D40, and I wish I'd had a Canon from the beginning! Sunset Electronics really took care of me when there was a problem (out of the box), and I would recommend this item and the seller to others.
Professional level camera9/2/2010
If you are beginner and want to use auto settings a lot of times, this is not the camera to produce satisfactory results on auto settings. You can get excellent photos by adjusting the settings but you need to know those settings. The video size is huge [only 35 minutes in 8GB memory.]. I purchased a DSLR with the photos only. I will consider purchasing the camcorder for video recording.
great service from usacameras/cameraforless8/23/2010
Received great & fast service, plus immediate phone help from this buy.com distributor, who did everything possible to get this order to me in time for a big deadline. Many Thanks & high praise.

GTX285 and IE oddity
I recently installed a GTX285 in the system in my sig. Ever since doing this I've noticed that when I have an IE window open that has a scroll bar on the right, if I click and drag the bar it will lag a little bit behind the mouse pointer for a few moments. It's like the display inside the IE window isn't being drawn fast enough at first and then everything catches up and works normal (if that makes any sense, kinda hard to explain). I'm using the 181.22 drivers for Win XP Pro 32 bit.
Anyone else experience anything like this or know a fix for it?
Re: GTX285 and IE oddity
Disable smooth scrolling within Internet options sub-header browsing. It will be the last option. If Vista was to be in use change the configuration of the PCIe power management (link state power management) would be advisable too. It can cause a similar latency but more frequent, annoying, and not much of a power savings it seems.
To note, I noticed this too with my GTX 285 and 8800GTX using Vista.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it will still happen to some degree and I think it is due mainly to power management, but it will not be a severe as before.
Re: GTX285 and IE oddity
I have Vista and a GTX 285 and smooth scrolling is enabled in IE and I don't have this issue, my bar doesn't lag one bit no matter how fast I move my mouse the cursor stays right with the bar in the same spot. I think it must be something else.
Re: GTX285 and IE oddity
It is within the initial second of scrolling. If you do not see it within this segment of time, then it will seem smooth. It can happen more often with link state enabled as the links are retrained and it is similar to it but two separate instances of scroll rendering "lag."
It is not the scroll bar, per se. It is what is being rendered within the browser and is more noticeable if graphics are present rather than text, especially large graphics. Such as adverts, or just simple pictures.
Re: GTX285 and IE oddity
I'll look into the smooth scrolling when I get home. Prior to the GTX285 I was using 2 8800GTX's in SLI but didn't have this problem.
Re: GTX285 and IE oddity
Disabled smooth scrolling but the issue is still there.
Re: GTX285 and IE oddity
Re: GTX285 and IE oddity
I did say on the previous post: Edit: I forgot to mention that it will still happen to some degree and I think it is due mainly to power management, but it will not be a severe as before.
It is easy to replicate because you only need to wait about a second or two and then scroll for this to happen. But this did happen with my 8800GTX before I upgraded to the 285 using Vista. The reason as to why I think it is power management related is that it is all too similar to having link state power management for PCIe enable, moderate or maximum, for Vista. When this is enabled it is very easy to discern and constant (worse). Seems as if the driver is not scaling the GPU properly. Modifying those two particular settings settings have had an effect that made it less noticeable, but it does not remedy. Also, it is worse in IE than in Chrome, which is mainly what I use.
Edit: So this is what we know that does not matter-architecture. We have Core i7 and Core 2 Duo's experiencing this and even recent and latter GPU's. Power management and smooth scrolling setting makes it worse. The previous 17x.xx driver, to my recall, did not experience this, but I did notice this with the 8800GTX and the recent drivers.
Re: GTX285 and IE oddity
Re: GTX285 and IE oddity
DarkOneX, I am Curious about this. Enable power management and open explorer and move a column boundary. Any one will do, does not need to be one in particular. Do you notice it then? Try IE now, any version will do.
I do use C1E and also the higher states up to C7 with the Core i7. I do not recall any of this when just using C1E in high performance mode with the Core 2 Duo. The first time I did notice this was with a default balanced state mode with link management on moderate. When that was disabled the difference was significant. If I was to use IE7 there was still a bit but not much as long as when smooth scrolling was disabled. In Chrome, my preferred browser, it does not do it much at all if any.
I noticed this first with my 8800GTX before I procured the 285, recently. I do not recall it at all when I did not allow much power management (high performance mode) with the Core i7.
Re: GTX285 and IE oddity
Enabled Power Saver mode and nope I still don't get any of this lag you speak of.
Re: GTX285 and IE oddity
Still an occurrence with the 182.06 drivers

Morgan Freeman Encourages Residents to Ready, Set, PLAN!T
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Academy Award winning actor and long-time supporter of disaster relief for coastal communities in the U.S. and Caribbean, Morgan Freeman, encourages residents at risk for hurricanes to start preparing now for hurricane season. Today, The Great Hurricane Blowout (Blowout) launched Ready, Set, PLAN!T, the first of several steps that, when completed, will leave residents ready for the risks hurricane season can bring.
A longtime supporter of coastal communities and Co-Founder of the hurricane preparedness non-profit PLAN!T NOW, Morgan Freeman is one of the Blowout campaign's celebrity spokespeople, and his preparedness plea appears on the Blowout site.
The website (www.greathurricaneblowout.org) is one piece of a layered social media campaign that combines tools like Facebook and Twitter with other forms of community outreach events like "Dine in the Dark." The website launch includes the unveiling of Ready, Set PLAN!T, a tool to help families create their own hurricane plan.
"The first step in being prepared for hurricanes is to make sure your family is taken care of," said Leslie Chapman-Henderson, FLASH President/CEO. "Your evacuation routes, a list of important phone numbers, information about your insurance coverage; all of these things and more should be included in your plan. The Blowout will help you pull this all together to customize a plan that meets your family's needs."
Through the family planning tool, powered by ReadyTown, residents will be able to answer a few questions about their family to create a fully customized plan in just minutes. Additional tools, also available at www.greathurricaneblowout.org, will allow a family to create a storm kit as well as find many articles on hurricane preparedness.
"Weather experts predict the 2010 season to be especially active, and we have already seen early, formidable rains in Haiti. Now more than ever it is crucial to share preparedness information and tools with coastal communities. This campaign allows us to do that by harnessing the powers of science, social media and star appeal through our celebrity spokespeople," said PLAN!T NOW President Donna Lee.
The Blowout is an endeavor of the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes, Inc. – FLASH® and PLAN!T NOW, the hurricane preparedness non-profit Freeman co-founded. Sponsored by Kohler and State Farm, the Blowout is an innovative approach to raising public awareness about hurricane preparation, and planners hope it will inspire public action.
Residents at risk for hurricanes or severe weather are encouraged to "Join the Blowout" and visit www.greathurricaneblowout.org for helpful updates, tools, resources and surprises that will walk them through the preparedness process.

Mario Benedetti: On love, lust, longing & life
A selective translation of some of Mario Benedetti's great poems.
Benedetti On love, lust, longing & life Translation by Brenda Noland Mario On love, lust, longing & life Benedetti A selective translation by Brenda P. Noland Mario Love is one of those emblematic elements of life. Brief or extended, spontaneous or minutely constructed, no matter the way it is the essence of human relationships. - Mario Benedetti Contents On Love Let's Make a Deal I Love You Still Tactic & Stategy 11 12 15 16 On Lust Every Instant Intensity The Ideal Secretary A Naked Woman in the Dark 20 23 24 27 On Longing Afternoon Love Vice Versa It's So Little Welcome 31 33 34 37 On Life Intimacy When You Are Smiling Image of You 40 43 44 On Love 10 Let's Make A Deal Partner you know that you can count on me not up to two or up to ten but count on me If sometimes you notice that I look into your eyes and a glance of love you recognize in mine don't alert yourself nor think what a delirium despite the glance and even because of it you can count on me If several times you find me unreasonable don't think what a pain either way you can count on me But let's make a deal I would like to count on you it's so nice to know that you exist one feels alive and when I say this I want to count at least up to two at least up to five not for you to come hastily to my aid but to know certainly that you know you can count on me. 11 I Love You Your hands are my caress my daily reminders I love you because your hands work for justice If I love you it's because you are my love, my accomplice, my everything and in the street arm in arm we are much more than two your eyes are my spell against a bad day I love you because of your gaze that looks and plants the future your mouth that is yours and mine your mouth doesn't lie I love you because your mouth knows how to shout rebellion If I love you it's because you are my love, my accomplice, my everything and in the street arm in arm we are much more than two and for your sincere image and your wandering steps and your cry for the world because you are of the people I love you and because love is not a halo nor morality tale and because we are a couple that knows it's not alone I love you in my paradise meaning that in my country people will live happily even without having permission If I love you it's because you are my love, my accomplice, my everything and in the street arm in arm we are much more than two. 12 13 14 Still I still can't believe it you are arriving to my side and the night is a handful of stars and happiness I feel, taste, listen and see your face, your long step your hands and however, I still can't believe it Your return has so much to do with you and me that because I guess it, I say it and because of the doubts I sing it no one could replace you and the most trivial things become fundamental because you are arriving home however, I still doubt of this good luck because the pleasure of having you seems to me like a fantasy although I haven't always understood my blames and my failures I know that in your arms the world makes sense and if I kiss the audacity and the mystery of your lips there will be no doubts or misunderstandings I will still love you more. 15 Tactic & Strategy My tactic is to look at you learn who you are love you as you are my tactic is to talk to you and listen to you to build with words an indestructible bridge my tactic is to remain in your memories I don't know how nor with what pretext but to remain in you my tactic is to be frank and to know that you are frank and that we aren't selling each other simulations so that between us there is no curtain nor abyss my strategy is in turn deeper and simpler my strategy is that one day I don't know how nor with what pretext you will finally need me. 16 17 On Lust Every Instant Urgent male sudden female don't waste time love each other leave everything in the kiss touch the new flesh consume the only intercourse destroy each other knowing that time will pass is passing has already passed for both urgent old man old sudden woman. 20 21 22 Intensity Who embraces breasts will madly caress. 23 The Ideal Secretary I am the ideal secretary. My boss is elegant, my boss is so discreet, he is tall, he's distinguished, he is a complete boss. When he comes and asks for a carbon copy, I am an ideal secretary. My boss has a wife two kids and three maids At least the wife doesn't understand anything. When he comes and says: We are one for the other I am the ideal secretary. My boss has a Mustang and an apartment where his remorse and I go to sometimes. Then I conform: �it's only a venial sin� I am the ideal secretary. My boss behaves like a mature type, he disguises his tummy when he dresses in dark. And if he yawns and says: �Not today, I don't feel well� I am the ideal secretary. When my boss leaves my boss, that old man, I dismantle myself and remain alone in front of the mirror And I tell myself the exhuasted ritual: I am the ideal secretary. 24 26 A Naked Woman in the Dark A naked woman in the dark has a clarity that illuminates so if grief happens or a black out or a night without moon it is convenient and even advisable to have in hand a naked woman A naked woman in the dark generates a brilliance that inspires confidence then all days become holidays, spiderwebs vibrate in the corners, and the happy and feline eyes look, and of looking they never tire A naked woman in the dark is a vocation for the hands almost a daestination for the lips and an extravagance for the heart A naked woman is an enigma and is always a party to decipher. A naked woman in the dark generates her own light that ignites us the ceiling becomes sky and it's a glory not to be innocent a loved woman, a glimpsed woman pushes death aside. �Brianne Holtkamp 27 On Longing Afternoon Love It's a shame that you're not with me when I look at the clock and it's four and I finish the letter and I think ten minutes and I stretch my legs like every afternoon and I rotate my shoulders to loosen my back and I bend my fingers and crack lies out of them It's a shame that you're not with me when I look at the clock and it's five and it's like clockwork that calculates interest or two hands that jump over forty buttons or an ear that listens how the telephone barks or a guy that crunches numbers and gets the truth It's a shame that you're not with me when I look at the clock and it's six you could surprise me and tell me �How are you?� and we could stay me with the red stain of your lips and you with the blue stain of my carbon copy. 31 32 Vice Versa I am scared to see you need to see you hope to see you long to see you I want to find you preocupation of finding you certainty of finding you poor doubts of finding you I have urgency to hear you happiness to hear you good luck to hear you and fear to hear you altogether I am fucked and radiant perhaps more the first than the second and viceversa, too. 33 It's So Little What you know is so little what you know of me what you know are my clouds is my quietness are my gestures what you know is the sadness of my house seen from outside are the shutters of my sadness is the foyer of my sadness But you know nothing at the sum sometimes you think that it's so little what I know of you what I know are your clouds is your quietness are your gestures what I know is the sadness of your house seen from outside are the shutters of your sadness is the foyer of your sadness But you don't call But I don't call. 34 36 Welcome It occurs to me that you will arrive differently not exactly more beautiful or stronger not more docile nor more cautious you will just arrive differently as if this season of not seeing me would have surprised you too perhaps because you know how I think of you and enumerate you after all nostalgia exists even if we don't cry a ghostly cry not even on the pillows of candor nor under the opaque sky I am nostalgic you are nostalgic and I hate how he is nostalgic Your face is the vanguard perhaps it comes first because I paint it on the walls with invisible yet strong strokes do not forget that your face looks at me like the people smiles and angers and sings like the people and that gives you an inextinguishable fire now I have no doubt you will arrive differently with new signs of depth and frankness I know I will love you no questions asked I know you will love me no answers given. 37 On Life Intimacy We dream together wake up together and in the mean time time does and undoes it doesn't care about your sleep or my sleep we are dumb or maybe too cautious we think that the seagull isn't falling we think this spell is eternal that the battle is ours or of no one we live together we succumb together but this destruction is a joke a detail a gust a vestige an opening and closing a paradise and our intimacy is so immense that death hides it in its vacuum I want you to tell me the grief that you keep on my behalf I offer you my last trust you're alone I'm alone but sometimes loneliness is a flame. 40 41 42 When You Are Smiling When you are smiling it happens that your smile becomes the true survivor the wake left in your future the memory of horror and hope the footprints of your steps in the sea the taste of skin and of sadness when you are smiling the whole world which also ensures its bitterness smiles with you. 43 Image of You I have a loneliness so crowded so full of nostalgia and images of you of long ago good-byes and welcomed kisses of the beginnings of change and the last car of the train I have a loneliness so crowded that I can organize it like a parade by color size and promise by period by touch and by flavor without a tremor too many, I embrace your absence and it helps me with my image of you I am full of shadows of nights and desires of laughter and some vague curse my guests assemble conspire like dreams with their new found spite lacking innocence I bar the door because I want to be alone with my image of you but your image gazes elsewhere with it's loving eyes that no longer love like food looking for its hunger they look and they look till morning turns to night and my day is extinguished The walls depart the night remains the nostalgia departs and nothing remains already your image has closed its eyes and it's a loneliness so desolate. 44 45 Design, photography and translation by: Brenda Patricia Noland Mora 2010 On love, lust, longing & life In honor of his one-year passing (1920-2009), this book compiles some of Mario Benedetti's most distinguished poems.

The bhairavi marks a concert finale. That rule was broken on a popular demand by the audience, who wouldn't let kirana-gharana vocalist Jayteerth Mevundi, leave the stage at the Pancham Nishad organised a two-day concert - Classical & Beyond.
The 42-year-old Hubli-born vocalist, known for his impeccable taankari, delivered with effortless ease in the style of the late legend Pt Bhimsen Joshi - had to give in and sing the Purandara D?sa-composition Bhagyada Laxmi baramma on Saturday. That only seemed made the audience more hungry. They also got him to sing the Brahmananda composition Jo bhaje hari ko sadaa.
"The credit should go to Pt Joshi, whose renditions of both these compositions have made a home in people's hearts," offers Mevundi in his signature modesty. Incidentally, these devotional compositions came on the heels of a traditional kirana gharana bhairavi, jamuna ke teer. When asked about how he feels about carrying the kirana-gharana mantle forward, Mevundi, who rendered an electrifying Mian ki Malhar and Basant at the concert, said, "It's very kind of people, who think so but I've no such illusions. I only keep polishing my craft and try to live up to people's expectations."
Given his initiation to music at a very tender age under the guidance of his mother and his formal training under Sangeet Ratna, Pt Arjunsa Nakod and late Pt Shripati Padigar, a disciple of Pt Joshi, not many are willing to take this modesty at face value.
Among them Shashi Vyas of Pancham Nishad, who called both Mevundi, Kaushiki Chakraborty of the Patiala gharana and sitarist Niladri Kumar (who performed on Sunday), "the promise of the future." According to him, "Like everything else in life, classical arts too need infusion of young blood. The arrival of artistes like these fills one with hope about the future of this ancient tradition."
Kaushiki Chakraborty, who took the audience by storm before Mevundi with raag Puriya and Kedar, had already had audiences eating off her hands with her unique rendition of the thumri - yaad piya ki aaye too, said, "It's an honour when it's said I'm 'carrying the legacy forward.' It only signals I'm headed in the right direction," but added, "If I allow this to go to my head it'll stop my growth. In fact, this raises the bar several notches for me to better my art."
A view, echoed by sitarist Niladri Kumar. The classical and fusion musician, who modified the sitar and created the unique instrument zitar too showed his mettle with his performance. Born to sitarist Kartick Kumar, a disciple of the Bharat Ratna sitar legend Pt Ravi Shankar, Niladri trained under his father when four and gave his first public performance at six at the Aurovile. Known for his association with Bollywood biggies like AR Rahman, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Pritam, he said, "It's always a pleasure to perform in Mumbai among music connoisseurs," and added, "The contribution of the legendary stalwarts who've come before is huge. We are only trying to follow in their footsteps." Niladri was accompanied by Gino Banks (drums), Sheldon D'Silva (bass guitar), Agnelo Fernandes (keyboard), Ojas Adhiya (tabla) and Sridhar Parthasarthy (Mridangam and Kanjeera).

The news just broke… Walter Dean Myers has passed. In his lifetime, he wrote over 100 books, served as the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, won too many awards and honors to list, advised and inspired kids and young writers everywhere, and impacted thousands of lives. He was a lifelong proponent of diversity in children's literature, and just a few months ago wrote an article that once again sparked the discussion.
Rest well, sir. You will be remembered always.
Beyond this, words fail me.

To keep toddlers safe, you must child proof an area of your boat and never leave them unattended on deck Pre school-age children are more flexible and often adapt more quickly than older children. They can be taught to swim and understand the word no! So, here is another reason to take your time on buying and repairing the sailboat, get the baby past the terrable twos before sailing. Beth Leonard also has a lot of info on the expenses of owning a sailboat that's carefully thoughout.
I certainly appreciate your input. My daughter seems to take after me, I can barely keep her safe in our own home, the kid is so precocious. We have had her out on the water, but it seems that 3 hours is about her limit before the confines of a cabin and cockpit start to get to her.
We live on the SF Bay where luckily we can take off for a few hours on the water on a sat morning and when it comes to buying a boat, I have started to come to the conclusion I would be more looking to a pretty small boat, something easy to cast off in and tool around the bay, maybe even a pocket cruiser, saving any coastal cruising for chartering a bigger boat, and saving longer voyages for a couple of years down the road.
