An interactive mapping tool that allows carriers and communities to view and identify opportunities to leverage Federal properties for the deployment of high-speed Internet networks. For example this map can help the wireless industry identify Federal rooftops where commercial antennas can be placed to support wireless networks. The national map includes data on broadband availability, environmental or historic information, property locations, and contact information so companies can easily obtain more information. The map was built with open government data, displayed in a new way to make it easier for carriers to take advantage of Federal assets in planning or expanding their networks.
This interactive map displays Federally owned buildings and lands, with point of contact information, where a commercial antenna installation might be sited. The map also contains several layers of data useful to broadband deployment. The map layers offers visibility into, for example, the location of National parks, protected wilderness areas, and lands of tribal significance. (Screenshot from 9/16/13)
A "Dig Once" guide, which includes best practices and policies to help carriers time their broadband deployment activities to periods when streets are already under construction—an approach that can reduce network deployment costs along Federal roadways by up to 90 percent.
A new broadband inventory toolkit that can serve as a one-stop shop for companies to access permitting forms, lease agreements, and other Federal broadband application documents from various agencies. This web page will make it easier for carriers to navigate the process for accessing Federal lands and properties, which can involve multiple Federal and state agencies that have their own processes for granting access to their assets. In addition, the General Services Administration, as directed in the Executive Order, is working to implement common forms and templates across agencies, such as a single master application for deploying broadband on Federal properties, to provide multiple broadband service providers and public-safety entities with streamlined business documents for the deployment of wireline and wireless facilities on Federal property. Going forward, the Department of Agriculture is also working to develop an on-line electronic application form to further streamline the process.
In the coming weeks, we will also be launching an online broadband projects platform, located on the Department of Transportation's Federal Infrastructure Projects Permitting Dashboard , which will allow agencies to identify and expedite key broadband projects and to publicly track their status.
Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Rand Beers today was joined by White House Cabinet Secretary and Assistant to the President Danielle Gray and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Alejandro Mayorkas to welcome 25 new U.S. citizens at a special naturalization ceremony held at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.
Acting Secretary Beers administered the Oath of Allegiance to the newest United States citizens.
The new citizens naturalized during today's ceremony hailed from: Bolivia, Bulgaria, Egypt, France, Ghana, Honduras, India, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Mauritania, Mexico, Morocco, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Sierra Leone, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Vietnam.
This special ceremony is one of more than 180 citizenship events being held across the country to celebrate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. USCIS will welcome more than 18,000 new citizens during these celebrations, from September 16 through September 23. Museums, historic libraries, government landmarks and national park sites will provide the backdrop for this week-long celebration of citizenship and the achievements of our newest citizens.
Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is celebrated each year on Sept. 17 in remembrance of the signing of the Constitution in 1787. Since 1952, Citizenship Day has been celebrated in conjunction with Constitution Day. Congress first underscored the significance of U.S. citizenship in 1940, when it designated the third Sunday in May as "I Am an American Day." In 2004, Congress changed the designation of this day to "Constitution Day and Citizenship Day."

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) launched a new smartphone app today, designed to seek the public's help with fugitive and unknown suspect child predators. This app is the first of its kind in U.S. federal law enforcement.
The Operation Predator App enables those who download it to receive alerts about wanted predators, to share the information with friends via email and social media tools, and to provide information to HSI by calling or submitting an online tip. Additionally, the app enables users to view news about arrests and prosecutions of child predators and additional resources about ICE and its global partners in the fight against child exploitation.
ICE's Office of Public Affairs developed the app with special agents from HSI's Cyber Crimes Center (C3) and field offices across the country in order to seek the public's help with information about child predators wanted for criminal prosecution. Currently, the Operation Predator app can be downloaded from Apple's App Store or iTunes. ICE is also planning to expand compatibility to other smartphones in the near future.
HSI's Victim Identification Program seeks to rescue child victims of sexual abuse and exploitation and bring the perpetrators to justice. These investigations are part of Operation Predator, a nationwide HSI initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders and child sex traffickers.
HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-347-2423 or by completing its online tip form. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators.
For more information from ICE on the Operation Predator App, you can watch this video, or visit here.
On Friday, September 6, Secretary Janet Napolitano bid farewell to DHS at a ceremony in Washington, DC. Vice President Joe Biden, Attorney General Eric Holder and Acting Deputy Secretary Rand Beers delivered remarks and thanked the Secretary for her service to DHS and to our Nation. Beers will now serve as Acting Secretary of Homeland Security.
In attendance at the farewell event were employees from across DHS; federal, state, local and private sector partners; law enforcement colleagues; and international friends and partners. Among these guests were former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, members of the Cabinet and members of the President's National Security Team.
Seven DHS employees -- representing the more than 240,000 DHS employees serving across the country and around the world -- presented Secretary Napolitano with United States and DHS flags as a token of appreciation.
Secretary Napolitano reflected on her time with DHS and shared some of her memories from the past four and a half years during her remarks. Secretary Napolitano said, "The men and women of DHS have performed their jobs bravely these past four-and-a-half years. Every day, seeing your dedication and commitment – and that of your families – has been a great source of inspiration to me. And I know after I leave, you will still be committed to the mission, you will still continue to perform, and you will still serve this country with the tireless dedication you've had during my time here. I hope you will accept my sincere gratitude for your efforts. It has been an honor and privilege to serve with you, and call you my colleagues. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I wish all of you the very best in the future."
Baltimore Grand Prix Marks over 100 Radiological/Nuclear Detection Deployments for DNDO's Mobile Detection Deployment Units
Did you know the Department of Homeland Security's Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) works with domestic and international partners to improve capabilities to deter, detect, respond to, and attribute radiological and nuclear attacks? When requested by our partners, DNDO implements domestic nuclear detection efforts to mitigate radiological and nuclear threats.
Just last weekend, DNDO deployed a Mobile Detection Deployment Unit (MDDU), marking over 100 deployments – this time to the Baltimore Grand Prix, where the unit assisted the Baltimore City Fire Department (BCFD) Hazmat Operations Team with event security operations. The BCFD Hazmat Operations Team worked with various local, state and federal organizations to scan the event for potential radiological and nuclear threat indicators. This MDDU is a part of DNDO's Mobile Detection Deployment Program (MDDP), which is designed to supplement first responders' existing radiological and nuclear detection and reporting capabilities, especially in support of large scale events nationwide such as big sporting events.
Each Mobile Detection Deployment Unit contains radiation detection equipment for emergency responders, housed in a mobile trailer. The equipment includes portable backpack radiation detection units, high and low-resolution radiation identification hand-held instruments, and personal detection devices. Each unit is accompanied by technical support staff to train personnel on the use of equipment and to help integrate these capabilities into existing operations.

Yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, a historic event that brought participants from across the country to Washington, DC to march for social and economic equality. On this day, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his now famous "I Have a Dream" speech, a speech that would inspire profound change in American history.
This monumental event set the stage for the passage of groundbreaking civil rights legislation, beginning with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Many more civil rights protections followed in critical areas such as education, employment, housing, and disability rights, to name a few.
A number of these civil rights protections are embedded in the work we conduct here at DHS. The Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL), ensures that safeguards of individual rights and liberties are in place for everything the Department does, because we know that a safe and secure homeland means also ensuring that civil rights and liberties remain protected.
Each and every day:
- Our Office of Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity strives to ensure that all employees and applicants for employment at DHS enjoy equal opportunity and employment decisions free from unlawful discrimination.
- Our Antidiscrimination Group engages in policy work to ensure fair and equitable treatment of individuals and guards against discrimination based on race, color, national origin, disability, sex, and age in DHS programs and activities.
- Our Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Impact Assessments evaluate DHS policies to determine if they impact the rights and liberties of those affected by a given initiative.
- Our Community Engagement Section works with diverse communities throughout the country whose civil rights and civil liberties may be affected by our policies and actions, informing them of avenues of redress.
- Our Compliance Division investigates and resolves complaints filed by the public alleging abuses of civil rights or civil liberties, including racial, ethnic, or religious profiling.
We continue to support the Department's mission to protect the nation while preserving individual liberty, fairness, and equality under the law, inspired by those men and women who marched on Washington 50 years ago who forever changed the landscape of civil rights in our country.

Yesterday, Secretary Napolitano delivered farewell remarks at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. During her remarks, the Secretary highlighted the Department's accomplishments over the past four and a half years, including how we have made the Department more flexible, agile, and adaptable, and how that has led to a more integrated and effective response to terrorist threats, more prepared and resilient states, cities, and communities, and a more engaged public.
Secretary Napolitano said, "Looking back over the past four and a half years, I can say that if there is one take-away, one object lesson and core operating principle that I've learned and embraced as Secretary, it is this: in a world of evolving threats, the key to our success is the ability to be flexible and agile, and adapt to changing circumstances on the ground – whether that is across the globe, or here at home.
"At DHS, to be flexible and agile means being forward-looking in our preparations, early and active in our engagement, nimble in our response, and resilient in our recovery. It means taking every necessary step to prepare for a range of potential outcomes, and understanding that if things don't go according to plan, or the unexpected occurs, we are ready and able to shift resources and adjust operations, learn from our mistakes, and put ourselves in a position to succeed in the future. And being flexible and agile means acknowledging that we may not be able to stop all threats all the time, but we can – and must – be prepared to address them quickly when they happen, minimize their consequences, draw pragmatic lessons, and emerge stronger and better. These are the most critical elements of our ability to meet our complex mission, and I believe we are seeing that approach bear fruit in a profound, positive way.

Over the past four years, DHS has worked to stop human trafficking, combat violence against women, and raise awareness about protections available to vulnerable populations. Earlier this week, I met with our stakeholders from the law enforcement and first responder communities as well as faith-based groups and members of the judicial system to introduce DHS' Council on Combating Violence Against Women, which will build on the progress made by the DHS Blue Campaign to combat human trafficking and apply those successes to addressing the security of women and children.
This past March, Secretary Napolitano announced the formation of DHS' Council on Combatting Violence Against Women, also known as the Council, which is co-chaired by the Assistant Secretary for the Office for State and Local Law Enforcement and myself. The Council brings together experts from across DHS to identify and share best practices related to our policies and programs in order to improve our ability to combat violence against women.
Together with our stakeholders, we have made great strides to better protect vulnerable populations from violence and human trafficking. However, these accomplishments would not be possible without the Violence Against Women Act and the Trafficking Victim Protection Act, two important pieces of legislation that were reauthorized earlier this year. These laws also provide critical support to immigrant victims when stepping forward to report crimes – but there is still more work to be done.
The Council will leverage the accomplishments of the Blue Campaign and support these laws through enhanced public awareness, training, victim assistance, and law enforcement investigations. In June, the Blue Campaign unveiled new public awareness materials, including posters, a PSA entitled "Out of the Shadows," and informational guides tailored for the general public and our stakeholders. By increasing awareness of human trafficking and training individuals to recognize the indicators of such heinous crimes, everyone can do their part to help law enforcement rescue victims.
I encourage you to take our Blue Campaign training, display our posters, watch our PSA and share our information guides with your family, friends and coworkers. For more information, visit the DHS Blue Campaign on Facebook and visit our website: www.dhs.gov/bluecampaign.
This morning, Secretary Napolitano visited the dedicated Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employees at FEMA's Joint Field Office for Hurricane Sandy in New York.
While at the Joint Field Office, Secretary Napolitano received a briefing on recovery efforts for Hurricane Sandy from Federal Coordinating Officer Willie Nunn.
FEMA employees provided strong and collective support before, during and after Hurricane Sandy made landfall– working quickly to meet the needs of state and local partners, and demonstrating the Administration's ongoing commitment to assisting survivors and helping communities get back on their feet. To date, FEMA and the Small Business Administration have approved nearly $2.5 billion in disaster assistance to individuals in New York, and nearly $1.7 billion in Public Assistance grants to New York for Hurricane Sandy.

Group, reordering of rankings by CIRM staff, notification of applicants, and process for making final decisions.5
Intellectual property is a policy tool for motivating investments in innovation. CIRM has devoted considerable attention to the development of its intellectual property policies, repeatedly drafting and revising them in response to wide-ranging feedback from various stakeholders.
The argument for intellectual property rights differs for inventions developed with public funds and those funded privately. When the public bears the cost and risk of the research and development that yields an invention, it is arguable whether the public should not have to pay again for the same invention through higher prices as a result of the exclusionary rights conferred by patents. Often, however, substantial further private investment is necessary after government funding ceases, especially when the recipient of the latter funding is a research institution that is not in the business of translating new scientific discoveries into commercial products.
The Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 has been particularly influential in setting the ground rules for patenting of inventions by universities. While the intellectual property policies of CIRM follow the broad contours of the Bayh-Dole regime, there are some differences.
Consistent with the approach of the Bayh-Dole Act,6 Proposition 71 appears to assign a significant role to contracts as a mechanism for implementing CIRM's intellectual property policies by binding grantees to its terms.7 In practice, however, CIRM has instead used regulations to govern intellectual property for CIRM-funded research results. By their terms, these regulations bind not only CIRM grantees and loan recipients but also their collaborators and licensees, and even third parties who subsequently acquire rights from them.8 Some flexibility is built into the regulations, but this flexibility also creates uncertainty as to how the regulations will be applied in the future. In addition, CIRM's intellectual property poli-

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Keith G Seashore, BS (UniNet Healthcare Network)
Description: This book reviews strategies for providers to consider under managed care.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide insight on how providers need to develop a managed care strategy. It discusses all the relevant issues around managed care to help providers develop a strategy. This book is very worthy. Managed care is an important topic in the healthcare industry and can have a profound effect on providers. The book meets the author's objectives.
Audience: In my judgement, the book is written for management involved in developing a managed care strategy, specfically, CFO's, CEO's, managed care management, and staff. I believe the author intended the audience to be the same group, as well as other management level postions in a healthcare or payor environment.
Features: This book covers the history of managed care, its purpose, and all the current issues surrounding how payors and providers and consumers fit in the puzzle. Additionally, it discusses important managed care concepts such as negotiating, pricing, fee schedules, capitation, risk-sharing, etc. The book is very good in discussing key managed care principles and relating them to practical matters. The authors appear to have first hand knowledge of the issues. The charts and graphs are very basic and although they don't grab the attention of the reader, they are effective in illustrating their points. I would like to see the book provide more insight on how to develop and set up a managed care compliance department to audit payments and deal with denials.
Assessment: The book is impressive. It covers many practical and thought provoking issues with which I have had personal experience. This is one of the best books I have seen on managed care.

State Advises Jobless to Not Pay to Apply for Benefits
By Martha Stoddard, Omaha World-Herald, Neb.
Jul. 10–LINCOLN — State Department of Labor officials want Nebraskans to know that some things in life really are free — and applying for unemployment insurance benefits is one of them.
Commissioner Fernando "Butch" Lecuona put out an alert this week about private, for-profit Internet sites that charge people to file for unemployment benefits.
Lecuona said the state provides those services for free. He warned that Nebraskans should use caution with such Web sites because they collect personal information, including Social Security numbers.
Labor Department officials learned of the situation from a Grand Island woman who used an Internet site she found through a Google search to apply for benefits, said Terri Johnston, a department spokeswoman.
The woman realized later that she could have gone directly to the state without charge, Johnston said.
Johnston said the sites generally charge from $15 to $20.
Lecuona said Nebraska workers can go to the Labor Department Web site to apply in a safe, secure and confidential environment. The site is www.nebraskaworkforce.com.
People also can phone the Nebraska Claims Center at 402-458-2500. The call is free from local Workforce Development offices.

I thought this was supported but it has been deemed legacy by ATI and is no longer supported. Karmic boots and I can enable desktop effects but I don't think I can game without the proprietary drivers. Is there any fix for this? I don't suppose I can just download and install the drivers from ATI's site on Karmic, am I wrong?

No new features will be provided in future driver updates. The Linux ATI Catalyst driver will only be supported in Linux distributions prior to February 2009 for the legacy products listed above. But if I wanted to use a version of Ubuntu that supported these drivers, how would I go about Identifying what was needed? Booting to a live CD Jockey shows no proprietary drivers available for this hardware in 9.04 or 9.10. Also, I'm trying to Play Civ4, and I think I need a fairly recent version of WINE to make it work, so earlier versions of Ubuntu will have additional difficulty. Am I stuck? (Hardware)

Many events have an RSVP list available online, such as through Meetup.com or Eventbrite. This makes it easy for you to see who's attending an upcoming event and do a little investigating on them. Connect with people you want to get to know on LinkedIn and other social platforms. If, after reviewing their profiles you find you have something in common with some of the other attendees (or they sound like your perfect customer), memorize their faces and make it a point to seek them out at the event. You'll be able to say "I connected with you on LinkedIn" as your icebreaker.
Set a Goal
You're not going to the event just to hang out. Nor are you going to cash in on $100k in sales. Find a goal somewhere in between, such as "to meet 5 people that fit my target demographic" or "to find a mentor."
Having a goal for your event will make it easier for you to stay focused. If you end up talking with other people in your industry (and they're not your ideal customers), then remembering your goal can nudge you to venture out to meet other kinds of people.

Over ....jury is still out.
As for putting vortex out of business.....man was I wrong . In fact I think Wilson has legitimized Vortex.
Once Wilson copied Vortex it's obvious that sparse string patterns are legit and people are now looking at the vortex seriously.
It's a racquet way ahead of it's time .
Wilson may end up just buying out vortex. As it stands now you can't even get your hands on a tour 95 because they are sold out . They may get a shipment on June but from the looks of it they can't produce them fast enough.
Not sure if this was brought out before but wouldn't Vortex have reason to serve a cease and desist on Wilson?
Vortex uses 14 mains vs the Steam's 15 mains - maybe that lets Wilson off the hook

Guard accused of keying car on movie set
August 11, 2009
A bodyguard on the New York set of actress Jennifer Aniston's new movie allegedly keyed a photographer's car, topping weeks of building tension, police said.
Police said they are looking for the man who was assigned to protect
The Bounty's male lead, Gerard Butler, after witnesses reported the vandalism on the 2003 Infiniti during the weekend, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
The vehicle's owner, James Devaney, who works for WireImage, said the incident followed continuous squabbling between the photographers and bodyguards, the Post reported.
I was surprised that the community had my back, said Devaney, who said didn't see the crime occur.
They saw a guy going up to my car with a key scraping the side.

James Patterson is the world's highest-paid author, and one of the most prolific. But he got his start in the advertising world. Brian Williams called him "A latter-day Don Draper who rose all the way to the top of mega-agency J. Walter Thompson."
Patterson offers pointed advice regarding how to create effective advertising, but the tip is equally applicable to nearly all types of marketing, phrased in his typically direct, no-BS style:
"The key is, you have to hit people in the face with a cream pie — you have to get their attention — then you have to say something smart."
We need something smart to say; that's our "marketing message."
Those are the challenges we face every day as marketers of law firms or other products or services. But I've never heard it phrased any better than that.
But our audience is too busy to read, listen to, or watch anything that isn't unique, powerful, innovative, humorous, or otherwise extremely relevant to them and their lives.
If we don't, we're just whispering in the wind. And what's the point of that?
As one of many examples, we hit the Vancouver legal market with a cream pie a while ago, representing a brand-new Canadian divorce firm that was seeking local lawyer referrals. The basic message? "We are skilled divorce lawyers."

NASA sees heaviest rainfall near Typhoon Prapiroon's centerOctober 12th, 2012 in Earth / Earth Sciences
When NASA's TRMM satellite passed over Typhoon Prapiroon on Oct. 12 at 0741 UTC (3:41 a.m. EDT), light to moderate rainfall (blue and green) was occurring over most of the storm at a rate between .78 to 1.57 inches/20 to 40 mm per hour. There was a small area of heavy rainfall (red) just south of the center where rain was falling at 2 inches (50 mm) per hour. Credit: Credit: SSAI/NASA, Hal Pierce
NASA measured light-to-moderate rainfall occurring throughout Typhoon Prapiroon, with just a small area of heavy rain near the storm's center is it tracks through the western North Pacific Ocean.
When NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite passed over Typhoon Prapiroon on Oct. 12 at 0741 UTC (3:41 a.m. EDT), the precipitation radar instrument detected light to moderate rainfall occurring over most of the storm at a rate between .78 to 1.57 inches/20 to 40 mm per hour. The northwestern quadrant of the storm had the lightest rainfall rate.
There was a small area of heavy rainfall just south of the ragged eye where rain was falling at 2 inches (50 mm) per hour. TRMM also noticed that the highest thunderstorms were almost 12 kilometers (7.4 miles) high in that same region of heavy rain.
In addition to dropping a lot of rain, Typhoon Prapiroon is churning up the seas around it. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center noted that waves are as high as 41 feet (12.5 meters) in the vicinity of the storm.
At 1500 UTC (11 a.m. EDT) on Oct. 11, Typhoon Prapiroon's maximum sustained winds were near 90 knots (103 mph/166.7 kph). It was located near 20.3 North latitude and 129.4 East longitude, about 370 nautical miles (425.8 miles/685.2 km) south of Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan. Prapiroon is moving to the east-northeast at 4 knots (4.6 mph/7.4 kph) and is expected to continue moving over open ocean and in that general direction over the next couple of days.

Interesting Note about the spelling of Fettuccine: This is spelled many different ways by many, even nice restaurants will spell this wrong in an effort to make it easy for English speaking people to pronounce it. The most common spelling variations of this classic Italian dish are: Fettuccine / Fettuccini / Fettucine. This might be helpful. Pulled it off of a forum discussion about this subject: "As you can see in the WR dictionary, it's fettuccine (Two t's and two c'c). That's actually the plural of fettuccina, which as a feminine noun becomes plural by changing the "a" to an "e."" There is also a pretty good food discussion about this subject as well on ChefTalk. OK, well I hope that clears up the spelling of Fettuccine issue. :-) So the correct spelling of this special Italian dish is Fettuccine... Capish? This is without a doubt an Italian-American recipe. Now onto the recipe!
Get a large pot of water boiling for the Fettuccine noodles. Make sure you have a lot of water for the pasta. For good pasta you want to have a lot of water for the noodles to swim in while cooking. You do this first because for the time it will take you to heat up a large pot of water to boiling and cook the noodles will be about the same amount of time it takes you to make the Alfredo Sauce.
While the pot of water is heating up.... Pour 1 cup of heavy cream into nice large non-stick frying pan. Turn the heat onto medium low. You are going to want to cooking this slowly. Simmering at first. Some people like to melt the butter first and then add the cream. I find the Alfredo sauce comes out much creamier and thicker if you heat up the cream first and then melt the butter.
Let the heavy cream get nice and warm to where there is just a tiny bit of steam coming off of it but not boiling.
Add in the 4 Tbs. of "real" butter. Slowly let the butter melt into the cream. Stir frequently while you are letting the butter melt. Again, the cream should not be boiling but should be hot enough to melt the butter. Keep stirring!
Check... Is the water in the large pot boiling yet? If so add the Fettuccine noodles and set the timer to 11 minutes. The pasta is usually ready between 10 - 12 minutes. You will have to taste and see.
Keep stirring the cream and butter until the butter has completely mixed into the cream. Now you can turn up the heat to medium to were the cream is just barely boiling, just a few bubbles here and there. Almost boiling. Keep stirring!
This is very interesting. - ALFREDO SAUCE: MYSTERY SOLVED!
There are many variations of Fettuccine Alfredo. 100's of ways you can make this dish. What I have put in detail above is how my grandmother made it and how I ate it growing up so to me this is the correct and only way to make it :-) However, you can experiment and try all the many ways to make this lovely Italian dish! Just google this phrase here "fettucini alfredo recipe variations" and explore the many possibilities! Have fun!
You can find many Fettuccini recipe variations on she CookEatShare site!
Here are some photos of finished Fettuccine Alfredo along with Chicken Cutlets. My favorite food combination ever!

Ok, I've got to get my son to eat more. He likes pretty much everything but I can't always get him to eat more than a couple bites. And he always wants to eat during dinner...which I don't let him do but he still always asks.
I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or methods to decrease the nursing and encourage eating more. I'm in a place where I need goals or tactics.

Taken on a single day in 1997, Testino's photographs of the Princess created a sensation when they appeared, with their completely relaxed informality. 'My original reaction was to photograph her in her traditional role as the fairytale princess. Then I realized that the most exciting image you could hope to see of her was as if you were alone in private with her.'

Hundreds of fishermen held a demonstration here demanding release of the boats of more than 80 fishermen, arrested by the Sri Lankan Navy last week and subsequently let off, even as their indefinite boycott of fishing entered the third day on Wednesday.
The fishermen held the demonstration in front of tahsildar office covering their mouth with black cloth, police said.
Sri Lankan Navy personnel had arrested 82 fishermen on June 7 after they allegedly entered the island nation waters.
Following the intervention of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the fishermen were ordered to be released by courts in Sri Lanka. However, their 17 boats had not been released.
The agitating fishermen also demanded steps by the government for the release of five fishermen who were arrested two years ago on charges of smuggling drugs, Rameswaram Fishermen Organisation President P Sesu Raja said.
Fishermen from Rameswaram, Pamban and Mandapam have been staying away from sea since June 9, protesting the arrest of the fishermen and the seizing of their boats.

Racing is cruising with a purpose... really?

I'm new to the board *first post*, as well as sailing, I just finished my US Sailing Basic Keelboat 4 weeks ago. However, I think this has a bit to do with the kind of person you are.
When I do anything I try to do it the best of my ability. If I'm in a car then I'm trying to hit apexes, drive as smoothly as possible, and in general do the same thing I would on the track, but slower for my licenses sake.
During my sailing class the instructor had me rounding buoys day 2 and trying to keep the boat as trimmed out as possible. Day 3 was testing, then trying to get more time dodging the Staten Island Ferry and around more buoys. Why do something half way unless 'forced' to.
This is not to say there's no time to relax. There is plenty of time, when dialed in on a tack, where you basically sit back and just maintain and enjoy.
I'm not advocating carelessness, or dangerous situations. There are reasons racers do everything, and for the most part they are about safety. Since I have limited exposure to sailing (working on this as much as possible) I will use an auto racing comparison. When you take a turn you want to slow in a straight line before turning the wheel, get on the gas as soon as possible in the turn, and hit the apex of the turn.
Each of those actions have safety reasons. Though in the US we have lax automotive drivers ed, if you take a motorcycle course you will be taught every one of them.
For the same reasons racers do certain things, cruisers should do the same, or similar things. Again keeping in mind that those certain subset of things that lower the safety factors should not be carried over. The last thing anyone wants to have to do is make that emergency call.
As always YMMV, this is only my $.02

CHICAGO - Southwest Airlines was operating normally Saturday afternoon after a system-wide computer failure caused it to ground 250 flights for nearly three hours late Friday night.
Full service was restored just after 2 a.m. EDT Saturday, but the Dallas-based airline experienced lingering delays in the morning as it worked to clear a backlog of flights and reposition planes and crew.
The airline -- the country's largest domestic carrier -- canceled 43 flights Friday night and another 14 Saturday morning.
Southwest is the latest airline to ground flights because of a large computer outage. But its problem was minor compared to those experienced by two competitors -- thanks in part to its late-day timing.
In April, American Airlines grounded all of its flights nationwide for several hours due to computer problems. The airline ultimately canceled 970 flights. And last year, United Airlines had two major outages: one in August delayed 580 flights; another in November delayed 636 flights.

|Phosphorus nutrition in tall fescue: from stockpiling to seed production
|McClain, William Edward, 1970-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is the most important forage for beef production in the Midwest. Stockpiling tall fescue allows producers to extend the grazing season and reduce winter-feeding costs. In Missouri, forages are the main source of macronutrients for cow-calf operations and there are times during the stockpiling period when the requirements of grazing livestock are greater than the forage alone can provide. The nature of tall fescue results in low leaf macronutrient concentrations below those required by lactating beef cows during late winter and producers should take this into account when utilizing stockpiled tall fescue, especially when beef cattle are grazing pastures on soils with low plant-available phosphorus (P) levels. Leaf concentrations of P, magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) were higher with P fertilization than those of the untreated controls. The leaf concentrations of phloem mobile macronutrients declined from October to February. The decreases in leaf concentration of mobile elements like P, Mg, nitrogen (N), and potassium (K) may be the result of nutrient remobilization from leaves to roots during late fall and early winter as a strategy to provide support for next spring's growth.

Four Valley teams set for quarterfinals
Division I-AA
Murrieta Valley (20-7) at Lake Forest El Toro (15-2)
El Toro is the No. 1 seed in the division, but the Nighthawks will not be in awe when they take the floor tonight.
"We established ourselves with a tough preseason schedule," Murrieta Valley coach Steve Tarabilda said. "We just have to go out and play."
El Toro has a talented post player in 6-8 center Matt Green, who is averaging 16.6 points and 11.2 rebounds per game. The Chargers also have two scoring threats on the perimeter with Ashkan Nazeri, who had 22 points in the team's 68-59 second-round win against San Gorgonio, and Chris Parish, who is averaging 14.4 points per game.
While Murrieta will have to contend with El Toro's talented trio, the Chargers may have some problems against an athletic Nighthawks squad.
"They will have to defend us," Tarabilda said. "They are going to have as tough a time matching up against us as we will against them."
Division II-AA
Elsinore (17-10) at Santa Margarita (25-4)
The Tigers already have as many playoff wins as league wins this year -- two -- and will try to add a third against Santa Margarita, the No. 2 seed and No. 2 ranked team in Orange County.
"We have been through a lot of adversity, but our kids are starting to come into their own," Elsinore coach Pete Rettinger said. "They are great competitors."
Elsinore will be without junior forward Ryan Cirilo, who is out with a knee injury. Santa Margarita will have a size advantage, starting two 6-5 players and a 6-10 center. Rettinger will use a lineup with four players 6-3 or taller, and hopes to counter Santa Margarita's size with good outside shooting.
"We have to shoot well," Rettinger said. "We have to make them adjust to us, and we have to try and pull their big guy out of the post. We want him to have to guard someone on the perimeter."
Girls Quarterfinals--Saturday
Division I-AA
Chino Don Lugo (19-9) at Murrieta Valley (19-8)
The Nighthawks, who won the school's first coin flip in basketball to host the game, are riding high off of their upset Wednesday of No. 2 seed Riverside North and will have a lot of confidence when they face Don Lugo.
"That was a huge win," Murrieta coach Joel Levin said. "It was probably the biggest win in school history. Until you beat a team of that caliber, you really can't have the type of confidence you need for the playoffs."
Murrieta has its defense to thank for reaching the quarterfinals. Senior Rachel Woodward has done a good job of denying the ball in the low post, and the rest of the squad has clearly defined roles.
Murrieta took some lumps while progressing through a tough nonleague schedule, but it has paid big dividends in the playoffs.
"I think it made all of the difference in the world," Levin said. "If we wouldn't have played those tough nonleague games and had close games in league, than none of this would have been possible. We have seen good teams before, so we are not in awe."

How Long Does IT Take To Graduate From Nursing School?
Nursing schools offer degree programs from the diploma to doctoral degree levels. Students can gain training to enter the nursing field or pursue continuing education to advance their nursing careers. This article details programs offered by nursing schools and how long each typically takes to complete.
Nursing School: Overview
There are several types of nursing education that students can expect from nursing schools. If a student is interested in starting a career as a registered nurse (RN), he or she may earn a diploma, associate's or bachelor's degree in order to meet the education requirements. For those who wish to specialize in a field of nursing, a master's or doctoral degree program may be ideal for obtaining the training required in most advanced nursing careers.
Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN)
The ASN, depending on the state, is sufficient for taking the registered nurse test and working as a nurse. This degree program may be taken at a community college, vocational school or university. It can be completed in 2 years and typically offers the required classes necessary to work as a nurse, including anatomy, biology, psychology, nursing practice, behavioral health nursing, pharmacology, microbiology and surgical nursing courses.
The associate's degree program will likely take 72 credit hours. In addition to the nursing courses required, the student may be asked to take some writing, business and oral communication and humanities courses. Graduation from this program allows students to work as entry-level RNs and prepares students to pursue continuing education in nursing.
Nursing Diploma
Although most students pursue the ASN to gain entry-level nursing positions, a nursing diploma program also prepares students for similar careers. The nursing diploma program is primarily offered through teaching hospitals and includes classroom and clinical courses in nursing topics.
Some nursing schools that offer nursing diplomas require that general education coursework be completed at a nearby community college. This is essentially a 'learn by doing' diploma and may take 2-3 years to complete.
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
A bachelor's degree program in nursing takes 4 years, like most bachelor's degree programs. Some of the required core courses may include philosophy, science, English, theology and sociology.
Coursework in a BSN program can cover topics such as chemistry, microbiology, wellness, illness, nursing process, mental health nursing, professional nursing roles, nurse management and nursing in a specialized setting. This degree program may also lead to a career as a RN, though with a bachelor's degree, more options are available, such as a management role and going to graduate school for a nursing specialization.
Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)
A master's degree in nursing often takes 2 years for full-time students and is designed for those who already work as RNs and would either like to move into a leadership or specialized position. Some specialization options that an RN can pursue are community health nursing, nursing education, oncology, mental health nursing and women's health. Nurses looking to move up in terms of pay and responsibility may also consider master's degree programs in nursing management.
Doctoral Degrees in Nursing
Doctoral degree programs in nursing, such as the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Science (DNS), often take between 3-5 years to complete, though this depends on the program and whether a student is enrolled full- or part-time. Students can enter a doctoral nursing degree program upon completing their bachelor's or master's degree in nursing or through an accelerated BSN to Ph.D. program. The program prepare nurses for a variety of upper-level jobs, including nurse scientist, certified nursing midwife, clinical nursing specialist and nurse practitioner.
