Neonatal refers to the first 28 days of life. Neonatal nurses care for newborns during this period. In the case of healthy babies, this can be relatively routine, but because newborns have not built up any immunological resistances, treatment of newborns with medical problems requires medical expertise and skills. For this reason, neonatal nurses need extensive educational backgrounds to prepare them for their positions.
The Facts
To be a neonatal nurse, a student must become a registered nurse (RN) or a nurse-practitioner (NP). A registered nurse is usually a graduate of a 4-year college or university, although some community colleges offer specialized programs designed to train registered nurses in 2 years. These programs are often run in conjunction with nearby hospitals to provide clinical experience for the students. Some hospitals offer 3-year programs to train and educate registered nurses. A nurse-practitioner needs a master's degree in addition to a 4-year degree.
Hospitals and other medical facilities base their assignments of neonatal nursing positions on the skill and certification of the registered nurses or nurse-practitioners. Registered nurses are required to pass a state examination called the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses and are therefore considered qualified to perform nursing functions, but neonatal nursing requires some degree of specialization, and some RNs specialize in this coursework during their undergraduate work. If not, they can be nationally certified as neonatal nurses by taking a national certification exam given by the National Certification Program. Nurse-practitioners, because they are required to earn a master's degree, can specialize in neonatal nursing while earning the master's degree.
The same requirements for maintaining the registration and certification of a registered nurse also apply to neonatal nurses. Nurse-practitioners also must maintain their certification as registered nurses, although certification is not required for nurse-practitioners. The features of neonatal nursing for newborns needing extra medical care can include providing additional oxygen, intravenous therapy and special feedings.
Because there can be a sense of joy that pervades maternity wards in hospitals as parents celebrate the births of their children, the position of neonatal nurse is often seen by new students entering the nursing profession as enjoyable work because of the atmosphere. There can be cases that don't turn out well in deliveries, however, and these can shatter the sense of care-giving for neonatal nurses. Students should understand that neonatal nursing involves cases that don't always turn out well medically.
Expert Insight The neonatal nurse has a special role in communicating with parents who are concerned, sometimes frantic, about the health of the newborn. For this reason, a neonatal nurse must have superior communication skills and be able to have a calming effect on parents under stress. Neonatal nurses also need to understand that they can only do so much in helping a newborn's health, and sometimes genetic factors can work against them.

J.T. Gives Idol to Russell (Heroes & Villains)«»+ 79- 15This was spectacular on so many levels. Watching JT just assume that Russell was alone in his tribe, that he was struggling for his position... that was funny enough. But that it was RUSSELL he was offering to save, that he actually GAVE AWAY his idol to RUSSELL. I am still laughing just thinking about it. Sure, I know that JT didn't know Russell and had not, at that point, seen Russell's season and how he played... but come ON. That was a spectacularly risky thing to do, and had about a 5% chance of working. JT should have known better. Plus... the letter itself sounded like JT was writing a furtive love letter. It was so good, and so hilarious. They could not have scripted something better.l< << PREV 1 of 18 NEXT >>

Education: Math in the Garden
Math in the Garden
Math in the Garden uses a mathematical lens to explore the magical arena of gardens. Colorful watercolor illustrations depict children, youth and adults discovering patterns, measuring crops, tasting new fruits and vegetables, planting in circles, and graphing their observations of fruits, flowers and shadows.
The University of California Botanical Garden, in collaboration with the Lawrence Hall of Science, has developed engaging math activities that anyone can do. No mathematics expertise is needed to lead the activities, only a desire to discover the out of doors with children. The project was funded by the National Science Foundation in 1999, and supported in part by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. After-school youth leaders and educators from botanical gardens, garden clubs, 4-H programs, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, home-schooling groups, and classroom teachers have taught the investigations and contributed their insights.
Designed to promote inquiry, language arts and nutrition, the activities are grouped by the predominant mathematics strands and support the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Principals and Standards of School Mathematics and the National Academy of Sciences National Standards for Science Education.
Each delightfully illustrated investigation has an easy-to-follow format and can be completed within an hour. The inexpensive equipment and materials necessary for the activities can be found in most homes and garden programs. See how easy it is to excite your kids about Math (and encourage good nutrition) using Math in the Garden at your home or school. Click here to view sample pages and activities from the book.
The National Gardening Association has published Math in the Garden, and is showcasing the book in their January 2006 catalogue. You will soon be able to purchase your copy at our Garden Shop ($29.95), which is the best way to support the Garden's educational and horticultural efforts. If you like, you can order a copy at the National Gardening Association's online store.

Egypt and the Nile
Home Page
Welcome to Egypt and the Nile
The purpose of this website is to act as a guide for those visiting Egypt and especially the Nile valley area, whether it be cruising the Nile itself or taking a holiday break staying in one of Luxor's many hotels. The information on this site may help you make up your mind as to whether you should take advantage of these options or not. Organized tours in the area, especially if you are on a fixed schedule, such as those followed by the cruise boats, condense a massive amount of sightseeing into a very short period, so to get the most out of your visit, it pays to do your homework if you wish to get the best out of your holiday. To help you, we have included information on some of the sights that will be on your itinerary such as the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-
Our intension is to add many more pages to the site, and to further develop the information on our existing pages. If for any reason you wish to contact us, please feel free to visit our contact page, we would be happy to hear from you, especially if you have any Tips and Tricks that you think might be useful to pass on to those thinking of choosing Egypt as a holiday destination.
The longest river in the world, the Nile runs in a northerly direction from the mountains of East Africa in the south, to the Mediterranean sea in the north. A Nile cruise is a very popular way to experience Egypt and what it has to offer the visitor. A good time to visit is between October to the middle of April, when the weather is a little cooler, although the majority of the cruise boats can be found operating throughout the year.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5mhnzj/overcoming_post) has announced the addition of the "Overcoming Post Deployment Challenges in LTE" report to their offering.
LTE offers significant advantages over the current 3G technology such as faster data transfer, higher spectral efficiency, and improved latency. However, as the technology is still evolving, operators are also facing many post deployment challenges such as policy control and traffic management, pricing and service bundling, traffic migration, interoperability, and Voice over LTE. This Report is designed to serve as a quick reference for strategic planning for overcoming major post deployment challenges.
The study begins with in-depth analyses of all the major challenges in LTE monetisation. Our study indicates that RoI is currently the major challenge for LTE operators while technical, regulatory, and ecosystem related challenges are also limiting their growth. Moreover, the current options for offering voice over LTE are somewhat temporary solutions.
The next chapter focuses on key aspects of LTE traffic management & resource optimisation. LTE operators are anticipating spectrum crisis as a major challenge in the coming years and are worried about controlling the cost of acquiring more spectrum to match the demand for high bandwidth services. However, they can optimise their network performance and can ensure the QoE by making appropriate strategies for spectrum refarming, data offloading, smart policy management and network friendly mobile devices.
The concluding chapter provides strategic guidelines on key LTE issues such as migration & interoperability (Backward Compatibility), LTE Pricing, LTE Branding, financing strategies for LTE devices, and customer support and billing.
Key Topics Covered:
Chapter 1: Executive Summary
Chapter 2: Major Challenges in LTE Monetisation
- Top LTE Issues Analysed
- Lack of Spectrum Harmonisation Affecting Interoperability, Roaming and QoS

New York — Achieving the Millennium Development Goals will require more cooperation between developed and developing nations, targeted plans and less moralising about the failures of poor countries and their governments, says United Nations special adviser Jeffrey Sachs.
"Less blaming the poor, more working with the poor to address their specific, targeted needs," is the recipe to meeting the MDGs by 2015, Sachs, special advisor to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan on the MDGs and director of the Millennium Project (MP), said at a briefing Wednesday.
The MDGs were launched at the U.N. Millennium Summit in 2000 by the world's nations. The eight goals set clear targets for reducing poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination against women by 2015.
Sachs, who is also director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University in New York, said the MP is preparing an analysis of how the MDGs can be achieved. The report will be sent to Annan next January; the analysis and a plan for meeting the goals will be available on the office's website in September.
The MP is an independent advisory project commissioned by the secretary-general and supported by the U.N. Development Group.
Sachs urged developed and developing countries to strengthen their partnerships and to take concrete steps to overcome obstacles to reaching goal number eight, which includes: a substantial increase in development aid, reduction or cancellation of developing countries' debts, removal of protectionist barriers for agricultural products and access for developing nations to western markets.
He welcomed the promises of the United Kingdom and France to double their official development assistance (ODA) next year, and called on other rich nations to fulfil their pledge to increase aid to the long-promised 0.7 percent of gross national product (GNP).
While he referred to the problems facing the world's poorest nations in a general way -- naming structural issues such as lack of skills and basic physical infrastructure, disease, low agricultural productivity and physical isolation -- Sachs suggested a specific plan to tackle them.
Developing countries should develop national poverty reduction strategy papers (PRSP) soon, he argued. Already used by the World Bank and IMF to prepare borrowing nations for aid -- and criticised by many development activists for imposing neo-liberal economic blueprints -- Sachs said he is suggesting the plans be based on the MDGs -- and be bold enough to envision achieving the goals even if donor founding is unavailable now.
At the same time, new PRSPs should not replace the work of the World Banks and IMF, he stressed.
MDG strategy papers should be based on an analysis of exactly what people need to achieve concrete aims, for instance to: bring their crops to the market, permit their children to go to school or produce three instead of one ton of crops per hectare, said Sachs.
Combined with an investment strategy and a financial analysis of what it would cost to carry out those plans, the PRSPs should be the basis of looking ahead to 2015, Sachs said. Among other things, they should make very clear how money is going to be invested, how investments will be monitored and how to ensure that women will benefit as much as men from development.
Clear targets must be set if progress is to be measured, he added. His office has already started pilot projects based on PRSPs with six developing countries, among them Senegal, Ethiopia and Kenya. They include reviewing innovative practices, prioritising policy reforms, identifying ways to implement policies and evaluating financing options.
Another six countries are in line to start pilot projects, among them Tanzania, Sachs added.
"Our recommendations are focussing on helping any individual country to design policies and to find partnership that enables it to achieve the goals," Sachs said. "But also we address the more systemic problems." He added that the MP will make specific recommendations for a 10-year plan of action based upon country-developed PRSPs focussed on the millennium goals.
The MP's analysis has found that small amounts of money well-targeted to improve basics, like education, infrastructure and water access, can help to reduce the extreme poverty that affects hundreds of millions of people, Sachs added.
But not everybody believes PRSPs can help developing countries achieve the MDGs. "They are just another burden on them," a representative of a non-governmental organisation (NGO), who did not want to be named, told IPS. It is questionable that poor nations have the capacities to develop such plans, he added.
The representative suggested that innovative partnerships between developed and developing nations, such as establishing women's groups to strengthen society or establishing micro-credit groups that make small loans available to the neediest in societies, could best help achieve the MDGs.
Sachs argued that while many poor countries are "far off-track to achieve some or even all of the goals," they are not impossible to meet, except perhaps in the sub-Saharan region, where nations are fighting extreme disease, hunger and poverty. In other regions, such as Central and South Asia, strong pockets of resistance to eradicating extreme poverty and disease remain, he added.
The period until September 2005 will be critical to making the changes required to attain the MDGs, Sachs argued. But "these goals can be met, strategies can be written, money can find its way down to the community level, communities can be empowered," he added.
Pera Wells, deputy secretary general of the World Federation of United Nations Associations, welcomed Sachs' confidence. Nevertheless, she criticised him for not mentioning the role of civil society in working toward the MDGs. "There are big NGO networks working on the goals," she said. "Civil society should be seen as part of the picture."

"Oh, really?" says Exodite. "How about if it didn't?" And that's when things get a little weird.
By limiting your ammo, Exodite brazenly defies decades of tradition. And it's kind of brilliant for that.

'The Mentalist' - 'Blood Money' Recap
The prediction I made in my 'The Red Box' review came true: the "clowns" went to court and we saw the aftermath of Jane's investigation methods.
'The Mentalist' - 'The Red Box' Recap
(S02E17) "You, you're golden." - Hightower to Jane
After weeks without a boss in the picture, the team meets up with the new boss: Special Agent Madeleine Hightower. Even if she was only introduced in the second part of the episode, her upcoming arrival made Lisbon uneasy right from the opening scene. As we discovered in the episode, Lisbon had very good reason not to look forward to the arrival of her new boss.
Hightower clearly has the needed experience to be in such a position, as she wasted no time to get things done and shape things her way. Jane may be golden in Hightower's book, but the other team members -- except Cho at this point in time -- should all be walking on eggshells and fear to lose their job at CBI.
'The Mentalist' - 'Red Herring'
(S02E15) "Tell Mr. Jane he is a mean, irresponsible sadist." - Abigail to Lisbon
Dina Meyer is everywhere on TV lately, isn't she? If you are like me, as soon as you see her appear in one of your favorite TV shows, you know there's an extremely good chance that she ends up being the culprit or that she'll at least have a meaty role.
Her 'The Mentalist' guest appearance was no different, and she ended up being either the culprit or with a meaty role. Was she the killer of the week or a red herring? The answer after the jump. One thing is certain, her role had character, as she had to say that Jane was mean, irresponsible and a sadist!
Review: 'The Mentalist' - 'Redline'
(S02E13) "I so love that new car smell." - Jane
And we so love that new episode smell, don't we? Jane definitely loved more than that new car smell in this new installment of 'The Mentalist', he loved the politics of a popular and pricy dealership and had loads of fun analyzing and toying with the staff.
But what Jane probably loved most this week, which coincidentally is what I enjoyed most in the episode, is that he was able to make a friend!
Review: The Mentalist - Rose-Colored Glasses
(S02E11) "They're a little old to be necking, aren't they?" - Van Pelt
"There's an age limit on that?" - Jane
I love Jane's humor! Don't you? This week, our favorite mentalist was a fish out of water when the case of the week lead the team to a high school reunion, an event Jane never attended before since he was too "busy" to go to school. Based on the previous episode, he was probably too busy conning people for/with his father.
As Jane told Lisbon, everyone at such a reunion lies, making it difficult for them to find out the killer. So to help get the truth out, Jane resorted to blackmailing a friend!
Review: The Mentalist - A Price Above Rubies
(S02E09) "This is a murder investigation, I can be as hard ass as I want to be." - Jane
Jane has played with fire before and crossed the line a few times. This week was no different and he was very upfront about it, repeating at least two times that he could be hard ass as he wanted to be during an investigation.
When you are cocky and push the envelope a bit too much, karma will more than likely ensure that you pay your dues. It wouldn't surprise me that one of the bad guys introduced in this episode comes back to seek revenge on Jane for being a hard ass.
Aunjanue Ellis Joins 'The Mentalist' as CBI's New Boss
Can Patrick Jane already see her coming?
That's a question for the title character on 'The Mentalist,' since Aunjanue Ellis will join the cast of the second-year CBS drama as the alluring and utterly hard-as-nails new head of the California Bureau of Investigation.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Ellis, who appeared on Broadway earlier this year in a revival of August Wilson's play 'Joe Turner's Come and Gone' and had a featured spot in 'The Taking of Pelham 1 t2 3' remake, will play a career law-enforcer aiming to shake things up at the ever-emotional CBI. She'll replace actor Gregory Itzin, whose character, Virgil Minelli, retired after the murders of three CBI agents, including Terry Kenney's edgy Sam Bosco -- a quick way for Itzin to return to his gig playing a former president on '24.'
Review: The Mentalist - Red Bulls
(S02E07) "This man ... I don't even know what he is. He is an accident waiting to happen." - Bosco about Jane
Don't adjust your computer screen. The picture above was not tempered with: Jane and Bocso are in the same area and are not at each others' throat! As Bob hinted at the end of his review of last week's The Mentalist episode, the "Jane and Bosco having to work closely together on a case" episode we've been expecting since Bosco joined the show has finally arrived!
Review: The Mentalist - Red Scare
(S02E05) "Spooky!" - Patrick Jane
As soon as the introduction sequence played out, I was excited at the thought of seeing how Patrick Jane and more down-to-earth Lisbon would deal with a spooky case.
I knew Lisbon would not believe in ghosts but what about Jane? Would he believe in them for real or would he fake believing in them for the case or would he not believe in them at all?
This spooky episode, perfect for Halloween time, also finally (!) gave us some relationship advancement between Rigsby and Van Pelt.
The Mentalist: Russet Potatoes
(S01E18) This was a fun episode of The Mentalist, reminiscent of parts of the psychic episode, "Seeing Red," in that we got to see Jane in a comfort zone of his, something that he knows well. The difference is that Jane believes in hypnosis.
And we got to see Jane do his thing tonight ... his hypnosis thing anyway. He was clever enough to put the tracer in Rigsby's pocket, but my favorite episodes of The Mentalist are when Jane knows whodunnit ahead of time and sets them up. When Jane is a step -- or two -- ahead of everyone else, he shines.
The Mentalist: Carnelian Inc.
(S01E17) "This is a goat turd about six months old." -- Cho, about Jane's "fossilized worm"
Ah, a few things I love about The Mentalist showed up in tonight's episode: a quote from Cho, a setup from Jane, and Lisbon and Jane banter. Top that off with a couple of my favorite guest stars and you've got yourself a fun episode of The Mentalist.
Oh, and we can't forget Jane doing his Jane things: trying to get Rigsby and Van Pelt together in a car for three hours, monologuing about the beauty of the desert, teasing Lisbon and Faulk (the "Boom!" line) and smiling throughout everything.
The Mentalist: Bloodshot
(S01E16) "My other senses are heightened. They're super-heightened. I'm like Daredevil." -- Jane on his blindness
Now, this was an interesting episode of The Mentalist. We veered from the formula a bit, and I liked it. We got to find out a lot more about Jane's past, albeit Red John-free. Sadly, this episode was fairly Cho-free, as well, but we did get a lot of Rigsby / Van Pelt payoff.
Mostly what this episode was about, though, was Jane's questionable past: the lies he told to people, the money he unabashedly took, and the lives he ruined with his greed and his false representation of his psychic abilities. Jane is clearly carrying around a lot more guilt than just his family being killed, although that was obviously the defining moment for Jane.
The Mentalist: Scarlett Fever
(S01E15) The Mentalist never fails to entertain, even when the case is obvious. There was something about the writing or directing of this show early in the season; I could peg every killer nearly the moment he or she was onscreen, because of the weird shifty thing they did.
Well, that didn't happen in this episode; instead, they dropped the biggest, most obvious clue in the history of procedurals. I kept hoping that it was a red herring, but no. I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy this episode; I loved the twists and turns the case took, but I hated knowing, absolutely knowing, who the killer was, in that different way than just the shifty stuff.
The Mentalist: Crimson Casanova
(S01E14) "There's no business like Cho business." -- Patrick Jane
I'm not quite sure how The Mentalist does it. At the beginning of every episode, I want to think that it's just a typical procedural and that nothing really sets it apart. Usually, it is Simon Baker who wins me over and makes me think differently. However, tonight it was all Cho.
We started off with Cho questioning Walcott about his wife Claire's murder. When the weasel threatens Cho's job if he doesn't give the name of Claire's lover, saying that he can have Cho's job with one phone call, Cho deadpans, "That's impressive. The best I can get with one phone call is a pizza."
The Mentalist: Paint it Red
(S01E13) The opening of this episode was the Jane that I love -- random, bizarre, smart and observant, with no regard for convention. Did you catch the way he hammered away at Frank, the guy who found the dead body (Harry Lashley) with the woman he was having sex with?
Jane continued to be fun and outrageous throughout "Paint it Red," which made it one of the more entertaining episodes in a while for me. The case was relatively interesting, but Jane was so upbeat, divergent and ahead of the team -- love that! -- and the interactions amongst the team were top notch.

Diet Programs From the Thyroid Patient Perspective
Name of the Diet/Weight Loss Program or Service:Intermittent Fasting / Eat Stop Eat / LeanGains
When did you follow this diet/weight loss program?:June 2009 - August 2009 and currently
My Review
Intermittent fasting goes against most of the traditional bodybuilding, fitness and nutritionst endorsed diets. However, medical science and anecdotal evidence suggests it is the way to go for those struggling with weigh loss, especially those with low thyroid function. There are no meal plans to follow or certain foods to eat (although eliminating simple carbs will make the lifestyle even more effective). The basic premise of this diet (it's really a lifestyle) is skipping breakfast and lunch everyday, and eating all of your meals within a specific time frame during the day. Some common styles of eating are 16/8 (16 hours fasting and 8 hours eating) 18/6, 19/5 and 20/4. While fasting your body (as it has evolved to do) will burn stored fat as energy (contrary to popular believe your body does not switch to burning muscle until 72 hours without food). Doing some sort of exercise during your fasting period will increase the amount of fat you burn, even if it is just walking. During the eating time frame you eat as you normally would, in the small time you have to eat it is almost impossible for you do go above your body's calorie limit for the day. The intermittent fasting lifestyle also you to no longer be a slave to the "food schedule" you have all day from the time you wake up to the time you eat in the early / late afternoon to not plan where your next meal is coming from. The fast helps your body detoxify itself and fully digest your last meal. With your body spending less energy digesting, the rest of your organs are able to receive more blood and more oxygen in order to function properly. This is especially true of mental function, while fasting your brain releases hormones which increase mood and mental clarity (goodbye brain fog!) If you have high blood sugar or are pre-diabetic this lifestyle is extremely useful as insulin resistence is lowered considerably, cholesterol levels are improved and trigylcrides are eliminated from the blood. During your fasting period you are allowed to drink non-caloric beverages (coffee, water, diet soda, green tea, etc. etc) and chew sugarfree gum. The great thing about this diet is you are NOT starving yourself, you eat everyday and around the same amount of calories as you normally would eating 3 meals or 6 small meals yet due to the fasting period your body is able to burn fat. Try this during your next work week (just skip breakfast and lunch) and you'll be amazed at the results.
Did you successfully lose weight on this diet?Yes
How much weight did you lose so far?11-25 lbs
Pros for Thyroid Patients?
No more BRAIN FOG! Medications are absorbed more effectively and have a greater affect on metabolism. Periods of fasting allos more fat to be burned by the body as fuel. No additional supplements or vitamins or fancy meal replacement or other products are needed, I just eat real food!
Cons for Thyroid Patients?
The first few days during the fast period you may feel especially energetic or anxious because of thyroid medication's added effects. This went away for me after about 3 days.

American Idol
Devin Velez American Idol 2013 Top 9 Performance (VIDEO)
After being in the bottom two on American Idol 2013's results show last week, Devin Velez had to know that the song choice for this week is crucial. The Chicago native's ability to weave Spanish into his songs, such as with his performance of Beyonce's "Listen," was what initially drew the American Idol 2013 judges to him. However, he had a bit of a misstep with a lackluster performance last week.
Devin went with "Temporary Home" for the "Music of the American Idols" theme week, and the judges (with the exception of Nicki Minaj, who loved the performance) were underwhelmed, to say the least. Jimmy Iovine warned him that it was going to be too safe of a song choice, and Randy Jackson confirmed that after the performance. As the Dawg put it, "That was way too safe. You underplayed yourself." He advised him to "go for broke every time on this stage," and we think that's exactly what he'll do to stay out of the bottom this week.
Devin recently mentioned that Burnell Taylor is his biggest competition and, while we agree when it comes to the guys, we think the girls are truly dominating this season. If Devin doesn't step out of his comfort zone and fast, he could be reaching the end of the Idol road sooner rather than later.
So how did Devin Velez do on the Season 12 Top 9 performance show? Will he make it through to the Top 8 after the elimination results on Thursday night? Watch Devin's American Idol 2013 Top 9 performance video below and let us know what you think!

REGENCY Medical Centre (RMC) will start offering free CD4 count testing services after receiving CD4 testing equipment worth 60 million
Handing over the equipment, the Chief Executive Officer of the Management and Development for Heath (MDH), Dr Chalamika Guerino, said that his organization had been donating such equipment to public and private hospitals in order for such hospitals to offer free testing services for the poor.
"Regency hospital has been offering services for the poor and that's why we decided to bring this equipment here so that wananchi will be testing CD4 and TB free of charge," he explained. CD4 cells, sometimes also called T-cells, or T-helper cells, are white blood cells which organise the immune system's response to bacterial, fungal and viral infections.
A normal CD4 cell count in an HIV-negative man is between 400 and 1600 per cubic millimetre of blood (but doctors normally just give a figure, e.g. 500). CD4 cell counts in HIV-negative women tend to be a little higher, between 500 and 1700.
Dr Guerino added that such donation was a clear testimony of strengthened public private partnership (ppp) and that MDH would continue to donate such equipment in order to improve health services. On his part, the Chairman of RMC, Dr Rajni Kanabar, said his hospital was serving 120,000 HIV/AIDS victims and that the equipment will help the hospital to serve more people.
"Wananchi should turn up to test for CD4 counts and TB free of charge" said Dr Kanabar, hailing MDH for such donation. He added that such donation signals good relations between private and public hospitals. RMC has also joined hands with the Lancet Group of Laboratories from Kenya and it will be a fully fledged laboratory with 4500 tests including a fully developed pathology unit in next 3 months.
However in first stage RMC in collaboration with Lancet is ready to offer Routine tests in Haematology, Biochemistry, Tumour markers, Hormone assays. But all the pathology Studies which at the moment are being outsourced to Kenya.
Lancet Laboratories Tanzania, duly incorporated under the Laws of Tanzania, is a new ultramodern and world class independent pathology laboratory in Dar es Salaam Tanzania, which was established to provide medical laboratory, consultative and referral services, with a range of tests in the facility, including routine specialized and advanced tests for clinical, research, screening, industrial, environmental and occupational health.
Lancet Laboratories is an internationally accredited pathology laboratory which has been in the business for over 50 years, has more than 100 reference laboratories, and in excess of 100 branch offices located in various parts of the world. Lancet's test menu of over 4500 routine and specialized tests is the largest in Africa making it a superb partner for diagnostic service delivery.

Archaeologists are mounting a campaign against two new cable TV shows that they say encourage and glamorize looting of American archaeological sites.
On 20 March, Spike TV will premiere a new show called American Digger, while a show called Diggers on the National Geographic Channel made its debut 28 February. Both shows "promote and glorify the looting and destruction of archaeological sites," Society for American Archaeology (SAA) President William F. Limp wrote in a message posted earlier this week to the SAA listserv.

Song Listing
|Explicit Version. 2009 debut from the fast-rising Rap phenomenon. While so many rappers are delivering tired rhymes to back up their fake back stories, Asher Roth has quickly emerged as the future: a Hip Hop anomaly grounded enough to take pride in his suburban roots but confident and talented enough to have already earned the respect of Rap royalty such as 50 Cent, Ludacris, Akon, and Andre 3000. The album's sound fuses influences from Hip Hop, Rock and R&B to create a masterpiece for the ages. With a humble and hard working demeanor, a vigorous live show and MC skills to match, the sky is the limit with Asher Roth. Features the single 'I Love College'.
"The effortlessly cool beats, hooky choruses, and above all, his witty, super-fast flow indicate this skinny blond to be a genuinely talented star. New Musical Express

Professional Reviews
- 3 stars out of 5 -- "Roth's timbre and cadence will remind listeners of Eminem, a subject he addresses head-on in 'As I Em.' But he is his own man -- a blithe braggart, untroubled by the need to keep it real."
- "Live instrumentation supports Roth's poetic, witty lyrics over head-bobbing beats, with drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, tambourine and even violin in the air."
- 3 stars out of 5 -- "'I Love College' is the hit, a charmingly debauched romp..."
- "[W]ith his first shot, Asher more than proves his musical worth, crafting an album too good to sleep on."
BioAsher Roth
Who am I?
My name is Asher Roth also known as Asher Paul Roth and my friends say I'm the truth. I started rapping a little bit ago. They say I'm poetic. I say I'm nice. See me.
To answer your questions, yes I'm skinny, yes I rapped 150 bars to Jay-Z in his office on the spot, yes I have porn on my computer, yes Scooter Braun found me rapping in my dorm room and signed me as the first artist to SchoolBoy Records off of MySpace, yes I throw keg parties every Sunday, and yes Steve Rifkind (Wu-Tang, Akon, David Banner, Big Pun, Loud Records, SRC, etc. etc.) calls me the "best lyricist he has heard in the last 10 years." Thank you Steve, I'm not very good with compliments, but thank you that means alot big guy. Funny thing is I'm not even a rapper. See me.
As for this whole career thing I now have the #1 most downloaded mixtape in the country, The GreenHouse Effect, with my boys Cannon and Drama and the college anthem, my single "I Love College" is now on iTunes and the video is on your TV right now...so tell your friends you knew about me first. For now I'm living with my boys entourage style (we all picked up and left) in ATL while we record this project on Universal and Scooter's dime. See me.
When I'm not rhyming I find time to purchase rare kindergarten art off ebay. As I was recently enlightened that it portrays the soul in its purest form. On the weekends I like to watch football and dance in celebration of the coming week. I collect business cards purely for prank phone calls and pay my rent by doing BICH Work (Boys In Cougar Homes). My boy Greg Mike and I, both started living by the credo...WWJD. What Would JEEZY Do? More often than not we find ourselves going with answers "YEEAAHHH" and "HAHAAAA." Ever since I've been living a much more positive lifestyle. See me.
Kind regards to genius Scooter Braun and bulldog Steve Rifkind. Glad to be signed to you guys. What up Brain Bangley!? Hola Tommy Blowpops aka Boyder! Glad to be here. Hello to all my friends and family and anyone who decides they want to come with us. Special hello to the ladies especially my heavyset honeys. Can I get a soul clap!
Seeee me.

The Olympics in Salt Lake City are just around the corner and, as in the past, the Europeans should dominate the cross country medal count. In fact, in the very old days, the Scandinavians ruled. However, starting in the 1950s, the Russians joined the medal club. The last twenty years have seen the emergence of Middle Europe. Specifically, the Italians, Austrians and Germans. While the North Americans have been absent from the medals since Bill Koch grabbed the silver in the 30K in 1976, several more European nations have found a way to elevate their cross country programs. Gone from the last Olympics are great champions like Bjorn Daehlie, Vladimir Smirnov and Elena Vaelbe. Regardless, like past Olympics, promising young skiers will challenge the established veterans.
The greatest male winter Olympian of all time was Bjorn Daehlie. His numerous gold medals could fuel a third-world-country's economy for several years. Perhaps the heir to Daehlie is Sweden's great Ski King, Per Elofsson, last year's World Cup Champion. The Swedes would say he is the heir apparent to the great Gunde Svan. The twenty-four-year-old burst upon the World Cup scene several years ago after an impressive junior career. He added two gold medals from the World Championships last season to his trophy case. He has the VO Max of Daehlie and the same will to win. In a warning to his top competitors, his training splits have been faster than ever and his hours have increased over the last few seasons.
Elofsson's two main rivals are Norway's Thomas Alsgaard and Spain's Johann Muhlegg. Alsgaard was shut out of the individual gold medals at last season's Worlds. He grabbed gold in the Relay when the Finns were disqualified for doping. Perhaps because of the performance drop-off, Alsgaard decided to focus on his training more than ever. Long thought to have the most talent of any skier, he trained harder than ever during the summer and fall. He even included three workouts per day on numerous occasions. His goal is gold in Salt Lake. Unlike Alsgaard, Muhlegg won an individual gold at the Lahti Worlds. He used his impressive strength in incredibly cold weather to conquer the 50K Freestyle known as the Race of Kings. Every bit as big and strong as the legendary Vladimir Smirnov, Muhlegg looks more like a football player than a skier. Looks can be deceiving though. He won't be satisfied without a gold medal in Salt Lake. Muhlegg has an advantage. He beat Austria's Christian Hoffmann in the skating race at the Pre-Olympics in Salt Lake last January. Elofsson and Alsgaard weren't present last season so Muhlegg has course knowledge going for him.
The top women will be aiming for Salt Lake City as well. Last year's overall World Cup Champion, Russian, Julia Tschepalova, is young and fast in all disciplines. She grabbed a gold medal in the 30K Freestyle in 1998 at Nagano. Her skating ability helped her overtake Norway's Bente Skari for the overall title. Tschepalova will be a force for many years to come. Speaking of Skari, she worked extensively on her skating skills over the summer. Norway even added Anders Eide, one of their best skaters, to the Women's coaching staff to focus on freestyle technique. She should be favored for gold in every classic race as well. Another young skier is Estonia's Kristina Smigun. She was fantastic during the 1999/2000 season finishing second to Skari in the overall title chase. She's trying to reach that level again after an off-year. On the other hand, two veterans are already making retirement plans. Russia's Larissa Lazutina and Italy's Stefania Belmondo are taking one last shot at Olympic gold. Both are past Olympic and World Champions.
Regardless, if skiers are searching for gold, they couldn't have picked a better year. There are more medals up for grabs in Salt Lake than any previous Olympics. New this year is the one-day-one-medal pursuit replacing the two-day-two-medals format. Also, the Sprints are new to the Olympics. All together, the men and women will be racing for five individual medals each in addition to the Relay. With the numerous formats, techniques and distances, many skiers will have a realistic chance for gold. The first day of racing will include the Men's 30K Mass Start Freestyle and the Women's 15K Mass Start Freestyle events. In the Men's race, the three favorites will be the above mentioned Elofsson, Alsgaard and Muhlegg. Of the three, Alsgaard is the best sprinter. As a result, Elofsson's strategy will be to pull away early. Muhlegg will likely try to hang-on and wait for an opportune moment. With a mass start race, a lot of skiers could be in the lead pack. Others to key-on include Austria's Christian Hoffmann, Norway's Tor Arne Hetland, France's Vincent Vittoz, Russia's Alexi Prokurorov, Germany's Rene Sommerfeldt and Italians Pietro Piller Cottrer, Giorgio DiCenta, Christian Zorzi, Fulvio Valbusa, Silvio Fauner and Fabio Maj.
An equal number of skiers will compete for the Women's 15K Freestyle. Among them are Belmondo, Lazutina, Smigun and Tschepalova. The Czech Republic's Katerina Neumanova will be a factor as will Kaisa Varis and Piirjo Manninen from Finland, Italy's Sabina Valbusa and Gabriella Paruzzi, Austria's Maria Theurl and just about every Russian that skis the event. Russia can pick between Olga Danilova, Ljubov Egorova, Svetlana Nagekina, and Nina Gavriluk. As with any mass start race, the finish should be close. Next up for the women will be the 10K Classic. Bente Skari will be the odds-on pick for the gold. Once again, any Russian skier could be victorias. Varis and Smigun will be among the favorites too.
The Men's 15K Classic will bring in a whole new batch of medal favorites.
The 30K Classic Champion from Lahti is Estonia's Andrus Veerpalu. He'll be one of the favorites along with Norway's Frode Estil who grabbed silver in the Lahti 30K. However, Per Elofsson is the man to watch. He is so dominant that he will be the gold medal favorite in every race he enters. While thought of as a better skater, he won the 15K Classic in Lahti. Norwegian's Erling Jevne, Odd-Bjorn Hjelmeseth, Anders Auckland and Espen Bjervig are great classic specialists though and could win the event. Plus, Sweden's Mathias Fredriksson, Russians Alexi Prokurorov and Mikhail Ivanov, Slovakia's Ivan Batory and Germany's Rene Sommerfeldt could medal. Also, Italy's Fabio Maj and Fulvio Valbusa will have a medal shot as well. Two days after the 15K, the One-Day-Pursuit takes place. It's a 10K Classic in the morning followed by a 10K Freestyle Pursuit in the Afternoon. Elofsson won the event in Lahti last season. There's no reason to bet against him in Salt Lake. Others who should contend include Muhlegg and Alsgaard. Of the two, Alsgaard should have the better classic position. He's won two gold medals in past Pursuit events. Mathias Fredriksson will be a factor as will Valbusa, Piller-Cottrer and DiCenta. A couple other names include Russia's Vitali Denisov and Norway's Tor Arne Hetland.
One day later, the women take their turn at the One-Day-Pursuit. Their format includes a 5K Classic followed by a 5K Freestyle. Pick any Russian and you're likely to get the winner. Stefania Belmondo, Varis, Neumanova and Kristina Smigun are talented enough to win the event. I'd still bet on a Russian though. If Bente Skari improved her skating over the summer, she has a shot at a medal. Skari will likely place first in the 5K Classic portion. Next on the agenda is the Men's Relay. Norway is the odds-on favorite. They can pick from Hjelmesth, Jevne, Estil, Auckland and Bjervig for the classic legs and will likely run Alsgaard and Hetland in the freestyle third and fourth positions. Sweden will run Fredriksson in one of the classic legs and then finish with Elofsson in the fourth leg. They'll search for answers for the other two legs. If Sweden can stay close through the third leg, Elofsson has the jets to grab the gold. Germany, Russia and Italy should fight for the bronze. Sandwiched between the Men's and Women's Relay events will be the Freestyle Sprints.
Like the One-Day-Pursuit, the Sprints will be a new event for the Olympics. The Women's Sprint takes place first and the favorites will include Finland's Piirjo Manninen who won in Lahti, Julia Tschepalova and Bente Skari. Even though Skari struggles in traditional length freestyle events, she's very strong in the sprint races. Norway's Anita Moen, Finland's Kati Sundquist and any Russian could medal. Like the women, the men have some clear-cut favorites. Included in the group is Norway's Hetland who won the event in Lahti, Italy's Christian Zorzi, Alsgaard and his teammates Havaard Solbakken and Jan Jacob Verdinius. In fact, Verdinius won the Sprint Cup last season. He's originally from the Netherlands but moved north to pursue skiing. Others who sprint fast include Finland's Ari Palolahti, Germany's Peter Schlickenreider and Swedes Tobias Fredriksson and Anders Hogberg.
After the Sprints, the Women's Relay takes center stage. If there was ever a lock on a gold medal, it's the Russian women in the Relay. Their second team would likely take the silver if they were allowed to race. Russia can pick from Tschepalova, Gavriluk, Danilova, Egorova, Lazutina and Nagekina. The race for silver and bronze should be between Norway and Italy. Bente Skari will definitely ski one of the classic legs for Norway. Hilde Peterson and Anita Moen will likely ski for Norway as well. The Italians will count on Gabriella Paruzzi, Sabina Valbusa and Stefania Belmondo. Both Norway and Italy will need to find another strong skier to round-out their teams.
Finally, after racing for close to two weeks, the Olympics will finish with the classic marathons. The Men's 50K Classic will be held on the last Saturday of the games. Per Elofsson won the prestigious Holmenkollen 50K Classic last March in Oslo. In fact, the Swedes always seem to do well in the marathons so look for Mathias Fredriksson too. Other gold medal contenders include Norwegians Erling Jevne, Odd-Bjorn Hjelmeseth, Anders Auckland and Frode Estil. If Alsgaard races the event, he's got a medal shot. While Muhlegg probably won't be a factor, his former teammate, Rene Sommerfeldt could pull an upset. There are some other prominent names who could win the gold. Among them are Russians, Ivanov, Prokurorov and Vladimir Vilisov. Ivanov is a great classic technician. Prokurorov is a great marathon distance skier. Two more skiers include Ivan Batory from Slovakia who has a medal chance and Estonia's Andrus Veerpalu who will be one of the gold medal favorites.
Over the years, the last Saturday of the Olympics has been reserved for the women's distance race. The men traditionally wrapped things up with the 50K on Sunday. In fact, the 50K usually ended a few minutes before the closing ceremonies began. In Salt Lake however, the women close the Olympics with the 30K Classic. The favorites will be Bente Skari and the Russians. Kristina Smigun and Kaisa Varis will have medal hopes too. Of the Russians, Lazutina could cap-off a brilliant career by taking the gold. Gavriluk, Tschepalova and Danilova will definitely be factors. The Europeans will be formidable competitors Next month, I'll review North American contenders.

I don't like the 690 Enduro because it is cramped, not very good for long stretches of highway and only carries 3+ gallons of fuel. It's more of a street legal dirt bike. Bad ass off road, but too short ranged for serious street touring. I'm looking for the bike that is both and not heavy. Seem like the manufactures are building bigger and heavier machines that are far more street capable than a true 50/50 Adventure Dual Sport! I want comfort and off road abilty with the abilty to carry fuel. Just because it can carry 7+ gallons of gas, doesn't mean you have to keep it topped off for off road riding
I'd be unstoppable if not for Law Enforcement and Physics !

The world's tallest building is in Dubai, its largest phone company in China, its richest person in Mexico. The first truly global century arrived much faster than anticipated–and it's caught many smart investors flat-footed. Ben Graham's core concept of intrinsic value remains the anchor for investing in this new world. But today's general chaos presents growing challenges for traditional value methodology.

If know me, or if you've read my About page, you probably know that my love of food goes beyond just cooking it. My undergraduate research was all about food security, food communities, and the importance of food traditions in a modern American society. Food is SO INTERESTING. And I love talking about it, writing about it, and reading every food-related book or study I can get my hands on. Result? I geek out HARD. CORE. whenever an awesome food publication comes across my desk. This is a list of my absolute favorites – books that, even if you aren't interested in food as an academic discipline, will blow.your.mind. Seriously. I left out the dry stuff (a twenty page study on adolescent BMI as it relates to after-school snacking from Pediatrics probably isn't as interesting to everyone else as it is to me, even though I think it's SUPER INTERESTING) but these books (by some AMAZING writers…seriously) and videos are super accessible and worth the time it takes to check them out.
Videos and Documentaries:
Jamie Oliver's TED Prize-winning talk. AMAZING.
