Welcome to
the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Occupational Therapy Program. The Occupational
Therapy program graduated its first class in 2000 with a Bachelor of Science
degree. We
began offering a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy degree in the summer
of 2005 graduating our first MS class in 2007. The full-time
program includes two years of coursework on campus (including two summers)
followed by six months of level II fieldwork.
graduating from the program are eligible to sit for the national certification
examination administered by the NBCOT. After successful completion of the
exam, the individual will be credentialed as an occupational therapist,
registered (OTR). Most states require a license to practice occupational
therapy. State licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT
Certification Examination and additional open-booked testing on the state
law. A felony conviction may affect a graduate's ability to take the
NBCOT certification exam or to obtain state licensure. Please feel free to explore our website in order to learn about the
program, admissions, and the profession. If you would like additional
information please send us an email.
Accreditation:The Occupational Therapy program is
accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education
(ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA),
located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, Suite 200, Bethesda, MD
20814-3449. ACOTE's telephone number, c/o AOTA, is (301) 652-AOTA and its
web address is www.acoteonline.org.
In its simplest terms, occupational
therapists help people across the lifespan participate in the things they want
and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities
(occupations). Common occupational therapy interventions include helping
children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social
situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills, and
providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive
changes. Occupational therapy services typically include:
Occupational therapy services may
include comprehensive evaluations of the client's home and other environments
(e.g., workplace, school), recommendations for adaptive equipment and training
in its use, and guidance and education for family members and caregivers.
Occupational therapy practitioners have a holistic perspective, in which the
focus is on adapting the environment to fit the person, and the person is an
integral part of the therapy team.

Employment Outlook
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, employment of Occupational Therapists is expected to grow 29% from
2012-2022, considerably faster than the national average for all occupations.

The mission of the University of
Wisconsin-La Crosse Occupational Therapy program is to graduate entry level occupational
therapist leaders who are committed to providing excellent occupation centered,
client-centered, evidence-based occupational therapy. There are five curricular
threads that flow from this mission. These threads form the basis of the curriculum
design: foundational science, research skills, professional
identity/leadership, clinical skills, and theory.
Foundational Science
Foundational science forms the basis
of scientific reasoning. Courses dealing with the structure and function
of the human body and how it moves form the building blocks of understanding
how occupational performance is affected by disease and developmental
delays. The rigorousness of these courses and the scientific reasoning
used in them gives students a solid foundation to mindfully apply the
occupational therapy process. These foundational science courses occur in
the first year of the curriculum, however students are asked to apply
foundational science concepts in other coursework, including fieldwork, to
explain the "science" behind treatment interventions, to justify evaluation and
intervention choices, etc.
Research Skills
Research skills are needed to
approach everyday occupational therapy practice with scholarly rigor. Learning
the skills and rigor of evidence-based practice (EBP) helps students develop
professional reasoning (Coster, 2008). An evidence-based practitioner has
the tools to make ethical and effective evaluation and intervention choices.
The coursework in this thread includes content that helps student develop the
skills needed to be an evidence-based occupational therapist. It is
important to note that EBP applications are woven into other courses, including
fieldwork, to promote application of EBP concepts in different treatment
contexts and with different populations.
Professional Identity/Leadership
Professional Identity/Leadership
encompasses how students implement their skills and knowledge as a student and
a therapist. The coursework in this thread emphasizes collaborating in
teams, assuming leadership roles, internalizing a strong professional identity,
demonstrating ability to practice with minimal supervision, valuing life-long
learning, and supporting/ promoting the profession of occupational
therapy. Therapeutic use of self, multicultural sensitivity and
professional behaviors are strongly emphasized throughout the coursework and
all fieldwork experiences.
Clinical Skills
Clinical skills include the
knowledge and skills that occupational therapists use to make decisions at each
step of the occupational therapy process. Courses in this tread include focus
on occupational performance problems encountered by various populations in
different practice settings (both current and emerging) as well as assessment
and intervention options.
Theory provides guides for
understanding practice situations, considering assessment and intervention
options, selecting the intervention, timing and method of delivery (Coster,
2008). Occupational therapy theories are covered in the clinical skills
thread in context with populations and practice settings. The coursework
in the theory thread requires higher level thinking.
Academic Objectives
of Wisconsin-La Crosse Occupational Therapy Program graduates will:
The program is 30 months long and
includes 6 months of full-time Level II fieldwork. Students must complete
Level II fieldwork within 24 months of the completion of the didactic portion
of the curriculum in order to graduate. Graduates of the program will be
eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational
therapy administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational
Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this
exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR).
In addition, most states require licensure in order to practice; however, state
licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification
Examination. A felony conviction may affect a graduate's ability to sit
for the NBCOT certification examination or attain state licensure.
Occupational Therapy educational
programs are periodically reaccredited to maintain the quality of the
program. The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Occupational Therapy
Program was last accredited in 2008 for seven years.
While in the program students
complete three level 1 fieldwork experiences in the areas of mental illness,
adult physical disabilities and pediatrics.
Fieldwork I placements may be in a variety of clinics, hospitals and
community based settings. Additionally,
upon completion of the academic portion of the program, students complete two
twelve week Fieldwork II experiences, one during the summer and one in
fall. Students must complete Level II
fieldwork within 24 months of the completion of the didactic portion of the
curriculum in order to graduate.
Students work closely with the Academic Fieldwork Coordinator to select
the best placement settings for these experiences. The program strives to find FW placements
that will fit the student's learning style, provide a solid foundation for
entry level therapy, and are sensitive the interests of the individual
In order for students to be better
prepared for their Level II Fieldwork experiences, they participate in a
"hands-on laboratory" during their final two semesters of
coursework. Under the supervision of
licensed occupational therapists, students will experience "live client
interaction" as they practice the occupational therapy process with community
members (both adults and children) who have volunteered to be a part of the

While not exactly home in time for the holidays, most of the airmen who arrived at Hurlburt Field from Afghanistan on Monday planned to make up for the celebrations they had just missed.
"This was a tough one," said Capt. Bobby Shuping, a 31-year-old pilot with the 15th Special Operations Squadron, as he was greeted by his wife and two young children after three months overseas.
"This one we missed pretty much everything, especially since they're at that age when Christmas is still a big deal," he said of his children.
Shuping was one of about 60 Hurlburt airmen returning home from deployment Monday.
View a slideshow from the homecoming.
His family has planned a Holipalooza now that he's home. They will roll Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and his daughter's third birthday into one big bash.
He said it's hard to be away from home during the holidays, but it helped that he was with the same group of guys he has been deployed with three times.
"We're pretty much family now as well," he said. "I think I was able to help them get through it."
They had a few strings of Christmas lights hanging in their plywood hut, he said. They had to fly on Christmas Day but were still able to do a Secret Santa gift exchange like they did during another holiday deployment in 2009.
He said he was happy to be home, but it has almost become business as usual.
"I feel like we've done this so many times now," he said.
"It's hard to say you get used to it, but …," said his 27-year-old wife, Kristen.
Like Shuping, Tech Sgt. Ron Walker with the 23rd Special Tactics Squadron planned to celebrate a belated Christmas with his family.
His 33-year-old wife, Christine, said her family lives in the area and kept their Christmas tree up and the lights at their house lit in anticipation of Walker's return.
He's been gone for four months — long enough to notice some changes in his family.
"He's definitely seen a change in him in the months he's been gone," she said of their 3-year-old son Kellan, who is talking more and has grown.
"He's heavy," Walker interjected.
"And changes in me," said Christine, who is six months pregnant. "I was barely showing when he left."
Even though their father wasn't home for the holidays, 6-year-old Ollie Brosch and his 5-year-old brother, Ewan, sported Christmas gifts he'd sent them as they waited for him to walk from the runway to the hangar.
They were both decked out in Royal Air Force flight suits, just like their dad, Royal Air Force Flight Lt. Ian Brosch, who is serving as a British exchange pilot with the 15th Special Operations Squadron.
"I'm going to hug him to death," Ewan said of his father. Ollie held a "welcome home" banner high above his head.
Brosch's wife, Vicki, 41, said homecomings at Hurlburt are different affairs than in the United Kingdom.
"In England, bless them, they just get in a car and drive home. They don't let families on the base," she said. "It's kind of deflating for them, I think. It's much better here, much more of a celebration."
The airmen entered the hangar to a round of applause, hugs and tears.
When Brosch rounded the barricade, his sons jumped up and grabbed onto his neck and didn't let go.
"I'm ecstatic, over the moon," Brosch said. "To be greeted by a family like this makes it worthwhile."

Well, at least it's not the subduction zone quake that'll eventually hit the west coast, because that one may destroy a lot of the cities/towns when it finally happens again as it has done in the past, although the last time it happened there were no cities/towns there.
No injuries or damage have been reported
A tsunami warning has been issued for coastal British Columbia following a magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck near Haida Gwaii on Saturday night, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The quake was felt across a wide area that includes Prince Rupert, Quesnel and Houston.
The tsunami warning included an area from the north tip of Vancouver Island to Alaska, but so far there have been no reports of damage.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said there was the possibility of "widespread dangerous coastal flooding accompanied by powerful currents."
The quake was centred 198 kilometres south-southwest of Prince Rupert at a depth of 10 km, the USGS said.
"A major earthquake occurred in the Haida Gwaii region (formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands). It was felt across much of north-central B.C., including Haida Gwaii, Prince Rupert, Quesnel and Houston. There have been no reports of damage at this time," Natural Resources Canada said in a statement issued Saturday night.
More to come.

For years, the search for the last Corvette of a generation has been an adventure for Corvette lovers. Discovering what the last VIN number is of the last-ever Vette built on that platform has been the easy part. The hard part-finding the car that matches that VIN-makes searching for a needle in a haystack look easy. (Especially if, when found, that last-ever car is not intact, with any unique parts scattered far and wide.)
When it came time to add a "last-of" Corvette to his stable, Mike Yager went in another direction-the easiest one by far. "This car was actually given away by the National Corvette Museum, and I ended up buying it from the winner," Mike says. That's right, he purchased a car that had been identified as the last-ever Z06 C5 built.
Mike already had the last C4 Corvette in the MY Garage collection at Mid America Motorworks, so when the opportunity for a similar last-call C5 came up, he took it. "They're cool cars to have," Mike says of his last-of-the-line Vettes. "The first one of a generation is cool, but so is the last. The fact is that every C5 made came before this car. After this one, there were no more C5s."
And what a way for the fifth generation of "America's Only True Sports Car" to wind up, with a performance option that turned the world-class C5 into one of the world's finest sports cars, worthy of the legendary RPO code that first appeared on Corvette's optional special performance and handling package in 1963. The carbon-fiber hood that was unique to the '04 Z06 shaved ten pounds off the front of the car, half the regular hood's weight. It also marked the first time that carbon fiber-in this case, a "unidirectional" fiber array-was used as a painted exterior panel on a production car. Under the hood, there's the 405hp version of GM's Gen IV smallblock V-8-the LS6, that's also good for 400 lb-ft of torque. You don't need a slide rule or a computer to do the math about how it makes this 3,200-pound car accelerate.
Plus, the chassis on this edition of the Z06 got special attention during its development. "While the Z06 already had an excellent blend of extreme handling capability and surprising ride quality, we're never satisfied," Corvette Chief Engineer Dave Hill said when the car was introduced. About the '04 edition and its Magnetic Selective Ride Control, he said, "The enhancements for 2004 provide a bit more poised and smooth response, connecting the car better to the driver's input, without the penalty of ride harshness." They also led to the Z06 turning laps on Germany's famous Nurburgring in less than eight minutes-something the finest Grand Prix drivers of the past were hard-pressed to do.
A car that can turn a lap time that quick on the 'Ring's Nordschlife is a fitting way to commemorate Corvette C5R's GTS class wins in the 24 Hours of LeMans. Special badging noting Corvette's success at LeMans is just one aspect of the Commemorative Edition, along with its Le Mans Blue paint and special hood striping.
With all that performance hardware, it seems almost criminal to let a car like this spend all its time parked in a museum. When we chatted with Mike, this car already had some 4,600 miles on it. "The travesty out there is, if you look at some of these 'last' cars, they were taken out and driven as vehicles and have virtually disappeared," Mike says. "Because I have such a public museum, and we use our cars for everybody to see, it's neat to have that last-generation car that people can see didn't just go into a collection and disappear, or bought by a consumer and 'consumed' and then disappear."
This Corvette is yours for the viewing when you visit Mid America Motorworks in Effingham, Illinois. It shares space next to the last-ever C4 Corvette, along with Vettes such as the Bunkie Knudsen '64 Sting Ray that we brought you last month, as well as CERV I, the "World's Fair" '64 Sting Ray, and the XP 819 rearengined Corvette prototype of the mid-'60s. Log on to www.mamotorworks.com, and then click on "MY Garage," then "Cars," to take a quick virtual tour of this collection.

Western Digital WD Livewire Powerline AV Network Kit
Affordable, lots of Ethernet ports, easy to setup
Cables are short, struggles with 1080p
We've heard a lot about internet TVs of late, and with all the big manufacturers recently unveiling the latest versions of their web-based offerings, this trend isn't unlikely to go away any time soon. In fact, it's expected to take off in a big way this year. Many people already have internet-enabled TVs or Blu-ray players but they haven't hooked them up because their router is on the other side of the room, or even in a different room altogether. Thats's where the WD Livewire Powerline AV Network Kit from Western Digital comes in.
The idea is that the Livewire lets you create a high-speed network using your mains power supply so that you don't need to trail unsightly wires all over the place. The device is HomePlug AV certified, meaning that it gets the badge of approval from the HomePlug Powerline Alliance which was set up to promote the use of home networking on existing electrical lines.
Each adaptor measures just 119 x 86 x 32mm, so they're fairly compact and should be easy to hide away behind the TV or Xbox so that the aesthetics of your fancy home cinema setup aren't ruined. There's not a lot else to say about the small, black plastic boxes - all you'll find is an on/off switch, power socket, Ethernet ports and a few LED indicators to tell you when the units are on and when each Ethernet port is in use.
Set-up is very easy indeed, with the manufacturer claiming that it's "as easy as plugging in a lamp". All you need to do is plug one unit into the wall and hook it up to your broadband router using the Ethernet cable, then take the other unit and connect it up to a power socket near your chosen AV device, which you then connect, again using one of the Ethernet ports. If you still get stuck then the Livewire is provided with a CD for you computer that offers access to a downloadable user manual and there's also a colourful guide in the box that pretty much spells out out the process in big, easy-to-understand pictures.
While many similar products only include one Ethernet port per power point, the Livewire includes four ports on each unit which means than you can connect up to seven devices to your router. This is really handy if you've got lots of pieces of kit to hook hook up such as a TV, games console, computer or NAS drive.
The box contains two power cables along with two Ethernet cables so you've everything that you need to get started. The only problem that we had with both the power leads and the Ethernet cables was that they're all quite short so you don't get a lot of flexibility as to where you can put them in relation to your power points. As the manufacturer advises plugging them directly into your power sockets, rather than connecting them through a plug board, this means that they can only be placed a very short distance from your power points.
If you're worried about security, then you can sleep safe in the knowledge that the data trasfer between the two boxes is automaticaly protected with a 128-bit encryption, so you won't need a password.
According to WD, the Livewire offers data speeds of up to 200Mbps which, in theory, should be enough for smooth streaming of high-def videos. In practive, it'll rarely reach that rate because of the usual obstacles, mostly to do with the wiring in your home. We found that high-def streaming of films at 720p worked really well, although the Livewire struggled slightly with full HD 1080p footage. You'll also find that the transfer speeds drop somewhat if you've got more than one device hooked up.
Overall, the WD Livewire is pretty good value, especially as you get a generous number of Ethernet Ports while several more expensive rivals offer just one port on each adaptor. If you need an easy way of hooking up a web-enabled TV or games console to an awkwardly located broadband connection, then this is a good choice. You might find that full HD streaming is tiny bit unpredictable, but all-round performance is good, especially for the price.

Solid for the Price

Comments about Cavalo Lugano Multi-Lens Sunglasses:
Great shades for the price. I use them on cloudy day or when it is dark out. I prefer polarized on a sunny day. Easy to switch out lenses. Slightly uncomfortable behind the ears after a long ride, but other than that just good for the money!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great shades..super light & flexible
By jc1

About Me Career, Comfort-Oriented, Modern, Practical, Stylish
As above mentioned, first couple times switching out the lens are tough. Feels like i was going to snap the lens/frame. but got the hang of it. The frame is super flex and light. nice with rubber grippers inside. Use for golf and riding and doesn't slide with sweat. Cavalo put real thoughts into the case. Which i really love. It's hard case with lens slots and somewhat of a handle on the rear of case to hold when unzipping/zip. very nice touch.. All in all, great bang for your buck. im pleased.

Excellent product at a great price.

Avid rider. Lens change pretty easily but I don't carry the case and extra lens once I start riding. I pick one set for the ride & stick with them. Also wear them for golfing.

Nice glasses
By Brink
from Appleton, WI
About Me Practical
A good pair of versatile cycling glasses. I like the white frame. I'm a big fan of amber/yellow lenses, and this has that option. The only drawback I see is it can be a bit tricky to align the lens into the frame when replacing, and I worry a bit about the long-term flexibility of the frame because of that. No complaints, though. Very comfortable and versatile, comes with a nice case.
Excellent value for price

About Me Classic, Comfort-Oriented
Wanted interchangeable lenses at a good price and the Cavalo Luganos frames achieve both.While a little difficult to change lenses, it was not impossible and only took a few minutes. I selected the white frame and very pleased with the quality for the price.
Inexpensive but very functional shades
By Biker Guy
from Dallas, TX
Amber lens was perfect for early morning ride in the dark
Not great
By Mike
from Washington, D.C.
Very difficult to change the lenses. I was only able to pull out lenses after deciding I would send then back broken if need be
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Great Eyewear for the Money
By Gregor
from Miami, FL
comfortable simple design that fits the budget but doesn't look it.
Basic but works.
By BC
from Boston MA
I need the multilens for commuting on my bike (dark in the AM and clear lens in the PM) since my contacts otherwise dry out. While totally affordable, feels a bit cheap and not particularly durable. But it does the job well and I recommend it. Initially, iit is not easy to change lens, but after a few times, it works easily.
By Round Shoes
from Tampa, Fl
About Me Career, Classic, Practical
They work well. Especially in low light. It takes considerable pressure to tweak the frame to swap the lenses.

Best Buy profit tanks 91%, stock tumbles to 9-year low
Looks like Best Buy Co.'s new chief executive has his work cut out for him, with the electronics retailer's profit falling 91% and its stock plunging to a nine-year low.
The sour earnings report came the day after Best Buy announced Hubert Joly, head of Radisson and T.G.I. Friday's parent Carlson Cos., as its new chief executive.
The Frenchman brings "expertise in turnaround and growth" at "a critical moment," Best Buy said during the reveal. On Tuesday, the company said its net income in its second quarter, which ended Aug. 4, slid 91% to $12 million, or 4 cents a share, from $128 million, or 34 cents a share, during the same period last year.
Revenue dropped 3% to $10.5 billion. The company's stock sank to nine-year lows, plummeting as far as $16.23 a share in morning trading after closing at $18.16 a share on Monday.
Best Buy suspended future earnings projections for the rest of its fiscal year, noting Joly's appointment as well as "lowered expectations for industry-wide sales and the uncertainty associated with several key product launches" in the next six months.
Joly will take over next month, heading up a company attempting a hard refresh. Best Buy has been slammed by rivals such as Amazon.com. A personal conduct scandal in the spring forced the business to cycle through three chief executives in half a year. With sales sliding, the company has had to rethink its large-format stores, closing some down and reworking others. Founder and former chairman Richard Schulze is attempting to take Best Buy private.

WVU Defeats USC Upstate
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The No. 14/19 West Virginia women's basketball team held the USC Upstate Spartans to 18 second-half points in route to a 75-45 victory at the WVU Coliseum, Saturday.
"I thought it was the second game in a row that we didn't play and get after it. We stood around and shot threes the first half, and the second half we penetrated a lot more aggressively. When we're aggressive like that we play better on defense," coach Mike Carey said. "I thought Bria Holmes came out and did some good things at times. Our young players came out and played with energy."
The Mountaineers' (3-0) bench guided the team with 53 points, led by freshman Bria Holmes with a career-best 14. Freshman Jennie Simms added in another 11 points, with 6-of-6 from the free throw line, while sophomore Crystal Leary put up nine points, and led the team in rebounding with 10 boards.
Sophomore Averee Fields added 10 points and grabbed four steals, while senior Ayana Dunning recorded nine points and grabbed eight rebounds. Sophomore guard Linda Stepney recorded five assists, while limiting herself to only one turnover.
The Spartans (1-3) were held to only 10 field goals in the game, however, shot 76.9 percent, while WVU recorded a 63.2 field goal percentage on 24-of-38 shooting. The Mountaineers were 17.2 percent (5-29) from beyond the arc, with threes coming from Akilah Bethel, Darius Faulk, Jess Harlee, Simms and Holmes. USC Upstate's Tee'Ara Copney was 1-of-2 from 3-point range, contributing the Spartans' sole 3-pointer (1-10).
The Spartans were led in scoring by Tyra Smith, the only Upstate player in double figures, while Copney contributed nine points.
WVU shot 63.2 percent (24-38) from the free throw line, while USC Upstate was 76.9 percent (10-13) accurate. The Mountaineers forced a season-high 15 steals, while limiting turnovers to 12, in comparison to the Spartans' 29 turnovers. WVU dominated the paint, out-scoring Upstate 34-24 and out-rebounding 40-29.
The Mountaineers return to the court as they travel to the FIU Thanksgiving Classic in Miami, Fla. WVU will face LSU, who is receiving votes in both major polls, in the first round at 8 p.m., on Friday, Nov. 23. WVU will then advance to face either Florida International or Iowa on Sunday, Nov. 25.
"We have a lot of work between now and LSU," Carey said. "They play a 2-3 matchup, so we'll see a zone again the whole time."

Tennity Emergency Department at Eisenhower Medical Center
Getting to the Emergency Department
In the case of an emergency, it is best to call 911 for assistance. While it may feel like a long wait for an ambulance, the wait is usually only minutes - far less than the amount of time to drive to the nearest hospital. As one recent national article stated, the most "saveable" person is one whose collapse is immediately reported to 911. Emergency services personnel are able to assess the situation and, depending on the emergency, can often begin vital lifesaving services en route to the hospital.
In the event of a medical emergency, please dial 911.
Never drive yourself to the hospital if you think you are having a stroke or heart attack. And if you are a family member, friend or bystander, please call 911. Minutes do make a difference, and emergency services personnel can help save a life.

About Eisenhower's Tennity Emergency Department
In 2009 Eisenhower Medical Center unveiled its newly expanded Tennity Emergency Department. Named for Eisenhower supporters Marilyn and Bill Tennity, the 44,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art facility more than doubles the size of Eisenhower's emergency department with a total of 42 treatment areas.
The Tennity Emergency Department was designed to create a safe, healing environment for patients and families. All of the 37 new treatment rooms are private, and decorated with warm, soothing colors. The ceilings feature photographic slide shows of natural scenes, such as beaches and mountains, which patients can watch from their beds as they are examined and treated. The new rooms have been praised by both families and medical staff for the privacy and safety they afford patients — private rooms are not only more comfortable, but also more effective for infection control.
The facility has a number of additional features that will help physicians and nurses enhance patient care. Each room is wired with the latest computer technology and contains its own computer, so that the medical team can enter and review patient data immediately. In addition to the private rooms, there are also four trauma bays, which can accommodate two patients each. The bays are designed like an operating room theater, increasing Eisenhower's ability to treat multiple trauma victims in the event of a major accident or disaster. The expanded emergency department also includes the latest in seismic upgrades, and now exceeds all state and federal requirements for earthquake safety.

Restaurants in Manhattan
Manhattan offers a seemingly infinite number of culinary options, from food stands, famous delis, and its share of celebrity chef restaurants. (Here's a tip, leave Time Square.)
Internationally renowned restaurant, Eleven Madison Park, brings luxury and creativity to its operations. Tasting menu only dishes are minimalist, allowing the chef to work his magic to create some of the best food in the city. As one of the more popular Manhattan restaurants, be sure to reserve a table at least two months in advance. Momofuku Ko is one of the most unique restaurants in Manhattan serving a seasonal tasting menu with interesting combinations and obscure ingredients. The restaurant is very intimate with only a counter and a dozen stools. Reservations are extremely difficult to get.
Per Se is arguably one of the finest Manhattan restaurants, requiring reservations months in advance. Award winning chef, Thomas Keller, creates world-renowned dishes including tuna tartar with crème fraiche and oysters in tapioca custard. If you're looking for a reliably good meal at an affordable price head to the East Village, where you can get an incredible pizza at Little Frankie's, an artisan burger at Brindle Room or a bowl full of soul warming ramen at Momofuku Noodle bar. For dessert, there are a variety spots to meet your needs including the famous Big Gay Ice Cream. Below are more recommendations for some the best restaurants in Manhattan.
You'll sometimes spot a boldface name, sans entourage, sipping cappuccino and tucking into a plate of haloumi eggs at this sunny, busy Moroccan café that has been a magnet for artists, musicians, and writers since it opened in 1983.
Chef Sara Jenkins' tiny storefront take-away features a well-lit display case of its namesake succulent roast pork, great soups and sides (potatoes and burnt ends are a must), but only seven seats at the narrow counter.
Chef Jorge Pareja elevates classic Mexican dishes to new heights at his popular Hell's Kitchen restaurant. Standout Nouvelle Mexican dishes include lobster and avocado tacos, pomegranate braised skirt steak, and poached artichoke quesadillas.
Housed in a former foodcart garage, this mostly-Korean hot spot offers a space far more expansive than most in this low-rise neighborhood.

I wasn't really sold on MGS: V before this video, but this is definitely making me take notice. The stuff you can do when you fulton things (or people, goats etc lol) is pretty slick. I have Ground Zeroes coming in from gamefly soon (it shipped yesterday, so I may not even get it until next week because their shipping is painfully slow). If I like the way the game plays, then MGS: V may be a purchase.
Posted 19 June 2014 - 22:46
Taken a core mechanic from Peace Walker and made it better.
This game will be superb.
Spot-on. I watched the video earlier and I'm completely sold. OK, I was already sold before E3, but now sold in the sense that I might actually pre-order it. Using the Fulton recovery on a sheep was hilarious, but then a jeep as well? Can't forget being able to pop up out of the cardboard box to launch a surprise attack and even diving out the side to leave it as a decoy. I'm seriously gonna love this game; I'm tempted to say it could be the best one in the whole series.
Posted 19 June 2014 - 22:56
Wait, wasnt this released a few months ago? I remember reading criticism that it was too short for a mgs game.
That was a demo. Not this
^^ What he said. That was Ground Zeroes. And yes, from what I've constantly read, it's pretty short and it's definitely not worth the price they were charging. I'm still waiting for it to be reduced to less than £10 before I get it.

Glad to know this. MGS is one of my fav, if not my fav, series. I was quite bummed that Kojima was losing it.
Posted 20 June 2014 - 00:27
Hoping they release a package containing GZ and this.
Off-topic: I hate to nitpick this....again, but this is the second MGS topic I've seen in the Sony Console. Now I know all the gameplay is shown from the PS4 version, but remember this is a mufti-platform title.

March 7
Snapper Rocks Comes To Life
After a week of less than ideal conditions, we finally saw the real Snapper Rocks today for the mid rounds of the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro.
Ripping Wahines
The girls were up first today with Carissa Moore and Tyler Wright leading the charge in the long, head high conditions. Carissa in particular was impressive, executing one of the best turns of the event—our little Hawaiian friend was ripping!
Slater Scores
As the tide began to draw out, Snapper turned into, well, Snapper. Roping tubes dirtied by sand spun down the point, and guess who happened to be out there for the best 30 minutes of the day? Yep, Kelly Slater. The 10X World Champ toyed with the tubes and treated his opponent, Matt Banting, like a cat with a dying mouse. After securing a pair of 7s, he had the audacity to switch boards for no other reason than to experiment with his equipment. Cocky? Maybe. But when you have ten titles you pretty much have carte blanche in the etiquette department.
-Mick Fanning lost out to Maui's Dusty Payne in the second consecutive event (Dusty best Fanning at Pipe in December to seal his spot on tour this year). Fanning felt like he was a victim of no waves coming in, but gave credit where credit was due and commented on Dusty's ripping via twitter, "Well done dusty!"
-Owen Wright, who many consider to be a 2011 World Title threat, was dusted by rookie Brazilian Alejo Muniz who borrowed a page from Adriano De Souza's playbook and caught a bunch of waves, slowly building momentum and confidence.
The Present vs. Future
Julian Wilson, who's been deemed 'The Chosen One," met up with Taj Burrow in one of the last heats if the day. With an incoming tide, plenty of waves came through and it was interesting to note each surfer's plan of attack. Julian zeroed in on the tube while Taj unleashed fury on the lip. While Julian may have been underscored a bit, to beat an established veteran, a rookie has to smash 'em so the judges have no choice but to give you the score. Watch out folks, Taj is in red-hot form and knows how to win events…
The Coolie Kid
Joel Parkinson is the last remaining Gold Coast local after the elimination of Bede Durbidge, Mick Fanning, Josh Kerr, and Mitch Crews. Suffice to say, Parko is the last guy you'd want in your heat no matter where he's from…dude was looking deadly today.—JC

OK so Ziggler will face Punk this Monday on Raw for the WWE Championship and I would make CM punk lose.Ziggler would've been about to win but a countdown clock would appear on the screen and Chris Jericho would return(also revealing the 2-1-12 identity),hit a code breaker on Dolph Ziggler causing Punk

Almost every blogger has stated their opinion on who will return on Monday, that being said here is my opinion of who it might be (be warned it is quite the long explanation):
Chris Jericho: Over the past couple months, the WWE Universe has been stumped as to who the return promos are for.
Because the videos are of a cryptic nature, it leaves only a few potential possibilities.

Welcome Ladies and Jaborni's, CenationRules1087 here. C.M Punk in my opinion shocked me in 2011. He proved that he is the '' Voice Of The The Voiceless.'' C.M Punk gave us the World Wrestling Entertainment Universe, some of the best matches on Raw and Smackdown in 2011.

The 100% Bed Bug Proof Box Spring Encasing California Twin - 9" is lab-tested and certified to *completely* block bed bugs. While bed bugs can quickly bite through normal bedding, they will not bite through this box spring cover. In addition, the heavy duty BugShield Zipper System completely encases your box spring, preventing bed bugs from escaping an infested box spring and keeping a new one 100% bed bug free.
Order 2 to fit split box springs of a California King bed.
How it Works:
This bed bug proof zippered box spring encasing is made from a special stretch knit polyester fabric fused to a unique high temperature urethane membrane, creating a completely impenetrable barrier to bed bugs (and dust mites, too). This means that you have 100% complete protection, ensuring absolutely no bed bugs, dust mites, danders, or any other allergens can pass through the fabric. The unique membrane also makes this box spring cover 100% waterproof, so you are totally protected from stains and spills.
BugShield Zipper System:
The rust-proof zipper features an auto-locking Zipper-Lock which prevents the zipper from accidentally sliding open; once closed, the zipper tab will not backtrack or open on its own - it must be pulled open. The BugShield Bug Blocker also provides an extra level of protection by adding an additional fabric shield below the zipper closure. This added barrier ensures that bed bugs will not be able to get in or out of the encasing.
Features and Benefits:
Product Specifications:
Care Instructions:
Machine wash warm, tumble dry low.Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed.

Now that I've got the bugs worked out, I'm going to use the RoboRealm software to control the NXT (via Bluetooth) based on input from the wireless camera and the Ultrasonic sensor. Also in the robot is one of the smallest cables - it's from HiTechnic and is approximately 4.75 inches (12cm) and I've used it to connect the Ultrasonic sensor to the brick. I didn't want to have to wrap another cable around, so this was a nice solution.
I call it Sneeker, but it is not very sneaky... the motors would give away its location if anyone was paying attention. The wireless camera is also static-mounted, parallel to the floor and does not move. I may try and add some functionality that allows the camera to swivel, but that would require adding a 3rd motor and I wanted to avoid another motor and keep the bot small and compact.
To view the feedback, I purchased a USB device that allows me to connect the wireless camera receiver to my laptop. Now I can control and watch my bot... or just let it roam on its own.
It's getting dark now, and the wireless camera doesn't do that well in low light, so I'll record some of its roaming around tomorrow and post a video.

I have a similar (if not the identical) camera, what USB device did you get to use as a receiver?

Yeah, the camera is fairly well known and recognized... and it fit perfectly to the face of a spare Light sensor housing :)

- Nov 11, 2006, 9:40:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
Pretty well... it's no big secret and has been used in many robot designs by others. I favor it for giving bots the ability to turn easier... I don't like casters and the basic NXT kit doesn't com with one (unless you make it).
- Nov 11, 2006, 9:51:00 AM
Hi Jim. Thanks for all the good information.
I am new to the NXT world and don't recognize the camera. Can you provide more information on the wireless camera you're using?
- Nov 11, 2006, 11:50:00 PM
- Jim Kelly said...
Hi, CW.
A quick look at geeks.com shows that they don't appear to be selling this camera anymore... I bought it from them for $30US plus shipping...
Here's a previous post on the camera:
I've found an older version of this camera on various websites and I remember some readers posting that eBay can be a good source for them.
I don't know why geeks.com isn't selling them anymore... when they sell out, they typically just put a "out of stock" on the webpage, but for this camera it appears they've removed the entire link to it.
- Nov 12, 2006, 1:30:00 AM
Do you use the VideoXpress with the clunky receiver that came with the camera? or is it capable of tuning to the camera's freq?
- Nov 12, 2006, 5:20:00 PM
- Jim Kelly said...
It doesn't have tuning capabilities... so I have to use the clunky receiver. I'm looking for a small box or container that I can put everything in except for the antennae sticking up and the USB cable coming out... just to clean up the mess.

- RoboRealm said...
Let us know how it goes with RoboRealm. We're working on improving the ball tracking so things should get more reliable in the next release.
We also used the same camera and had issues with low light. For those who would like to get a similar camera you can check out http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=745# but they only have 4 left!!
I really like the idea of using the ball as the castor! Probably works quite well over carpet.
- Nov 13, 2006, 4:49:00 AM
Tell us more about that Xpress. Does it act like a normal webcam? How can you program the computer to send BT commands to NXT by deciding on camera sight? for example balltracking (like Vision Command)
- Nov 14, 2006, 1:31:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
The RoboRealm software states that it can work with many different types of camera, as long as the signal is of a particular type (sorry, I'm not up on all the terminology).
When I connect the VideoXpress device to my laptop and open the RoboRealm software, the video from my wireless camera is live and displayed on the screen. (I'll add a new post shortly with a screenshot of the software running).
I haven't had any time yet to experiment with the programming portion of RoboRealm, but I have played with controlling the motors with the software and it does work (but it took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to get my Bluetooth laptop talking to my NXT - this happens every time I make the connection and is my only complaint about Bluetooth).
AS for the VideoXpress device - this is what I purchased:
It works great... very small. As stated in earlier comment, my only complaint is all the wiring from the wireless camera's receiver... blah.

The eight short-listed design teams have been announced for a competition to redevelop the Windermere Steamboat Museum on the shores of Windermere.
The Lakeland Arts Trust recently secured initial support for a £7.4m Heritage Lottery Fund bid, including £494,000 development funding, to take the project forward. The project aims to create an exciting and active museum which will use the lake and the lakeside setting to display the nationally significant collection of steam launches, motor boats, yachts and other vessels which are all associated with Windermere.
The first stage of the competition attracted 114 expressions of interest. The short-list (in order of the architect leading the multi-disciplinary design team) is as follows: Carmody Groarke; Adam Khan Architects; Niall McLaughlin Architects; Terry Pawson Architects; Reiach and Hall Architects; 6a Architects; Sutherland Hussey Architects; Witherford Watson Mann Architects.
Martin Ainscough, Chairman of the Lakeland Arts Trust, commented: "We are very encouraged by the quality of entries in the architectural competition and the judging panel had a difficult decision to select the final eight for the shortlist. We are looking forward to working with the successful practice to create a world class facility in the heart of the Lake District.."
Gordon Watson, the trust's chief executive, added: "We are looking for a fresh, well-detailed and sensitive response for the stimulating and highly significant site on Windermere and to display the museum's wonderful collection of boats."
The second stage of the competition will seek design concepts for the project. Architects will need to take into account the requirement of displaying the boats and other items in the collection in the exhibition space and wet dock, and enabling visitors to see the boats being restored in the conservation workshop, as well as designing an appropriate facility for the location to provide a world-class visitor experience.
The design proposals will be subject to public display and comment in late October 2011 and the design teams will be invited to present their schemes to the jury panel at final interviews in late November 2011.
A VERY small Beatrix Potter drawing has sold for nearly £50,000 at an auction in America.
The three-and-three-quarter inches by six inches ink and watercolour had been expected to sell for up to 37,500 at the Sotheby's auction, in New York, but reached £47,438
The miniature, called 'Guinea pigs going to their garden...' was among 193 original illustrations sold by wealthy American couple, Kendra and Allan Daniel. The painting depicts four guinea pigs following a fifth along a path carrying garden tools.
A spokesman for Sotheby's said: "Early in 1893, when she was in her twenties, Beatrix Potter borrowed a number of guinea pigs from her friend, Miss Paget. One, named Mr Chopps, proved to be no problem but another, named Queen Elizabeth, apparently 'took to eating blotting paper, pasteboard, string and other curious substances and expired during the night. A pair of gardening illustrations date from this time: four guinea pigs following a blue-coated guinea pig and four guinea pigs working under the guidance of the blue-coated guinea pig.
"These were later redrawn in 1922 and used in Potter's book Cecil Parsley's Nursery Rhymes."

'VERY knowledgable' staff at a popular Kendal attraction are celebrating after securing a top accreditation.
Kendal Museum has been accredited as a Quality Assured Visitor Attraction - an assessment run by Visit England and recognises customer service and visitor experience at attractions across the country.
A Visit England assessor praised the strong collections, recognising the effort that has gone into creating a well-balanced wildlife gallery and the considerable effort that has been put into modernising the Wainwright Gallery.
In a report, the assessor said of the museum: "The Wildlife Gallery succeeds in presenting specimens from five continents in an imaginative and lively fashion that can be readily grasped by children".
Learning facilities for children were also praised along with 'excellent' reading books being available.
The Wainwright Gallery was also commended for its cabinets and the assessor said that the staff 'engaged well and were very knowledgeable'.
The assessor summed up his judgement and reported: "There is a wealth of excellent material in the museum – with the Wildlife Gallery and the Wainwright exhibits showing what can be achieved. The possibilities for mutually beneficial exchanges of skills with college courses and museum qualifications seem exciting. There is huge potential scope for the Museum."
