Astros, Padres: A snapshot into two ways of rebuilding
No one is thinking about the Astros. They had their jaunt in the headlines this month, throwing a combined $54 million to free agents Jed Lowrie, Luke Gregerson and Pat Neshek. Spending like that hasn't been seen around here since Drayton McLane rode off, and for Astros fans, it was celebrated. But the industry-wide glow didn't […] [Read More]
Astros caravan to start Jan. 20, end with FanFest on Jan. 24

MLB takes wait-and-see approach on Cuba
NEW YORK — Fred Claire can see the day when Major League Baseball teams open academies for prospects in Cuba. "It's absolutely a natural, just as the Dominican was and Venezuela. You go to where the talent is," the former Los Angeles Dodgers general manager said Wednesday. "The high talent level for Cuban players is […] [Read More]
Astros pitching coach Brent Strom eager to work with newest additions
In town for a baseball clinic in Montgomery County, Brent Strom rushed to Minute Maid Park on Friday afternoon to welcome his two new veteran relievers. The Astros' 66-year-old pitching coach was as giddy as any six-year-old allowed to peek under the Christmas tree at this time of year. Strom had one of the best […] [Read More]
Astros' offseason spending spree indicative of new mindset for franchise
SAN DIEGO — The Astros have yet to reach the no-limit hold 'em table in free agency. The stakes could be bigger and probably eventually will be. Baby steps lead to bigger steps. People wanted to see them spend, and now they've spent. People wanted to see the bullpen get better, it did. On top […] [Read More]
Astros' roster situation likely means no Rule 5 selection coming Thursday
SAN DIEGO — It sounds unlikely the Astros make a selection in Rule 5 draft at No. 4 overall on Thursday morning on the final day of the winter meetings, but that can change. The Astros' 40-man roster is full when counting the additions of free agent relievers Luke Gregerson and Pat Neshek. Those deals […] [Read More]
Astros look to remain active in offseason free-agent market
SAN DIEGO — The Astros' still could add another reliever now that they have agreed to terms with Luke Gregerson and Pat Neshek, but a starting pitcher and infielder appears the greater focus. "We're exploring starting pitching," general manager Jeff Luhnow said Wednesday at the winter meetings. "The past couple days we decided to look […] [Read More]
Signings of Gregerson, Neshek show Astros' offseason plan coming together
SAN DIEGO — One of the two new relief pitchers the Astros snagged at the winter meetings with all of baseball watching, Pat Neshek, was convinced he'd be going elsewhere. A free agent sidearm thrower who had a 1.78 ERA for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2014 who doubles as a sports autograph collector, Neshek […] [Read More]
Former Astro Kike Hernandez on the move again
As MLB's winter meetings stretched into its fourth day, a former Astros farmhand found himself on the move again, just months after leaving Houston. Kike Hernandez, who was involved in the July trade deadline deal that sent local product Jarred Cosart to the Marlins, was shipped by Miami to the Dodgers in Wednesday's trade involving […] [Read More]
Neshek says addition of Gregerson helped him land with Astros
SAN DIEGO — Sidearmer Pat Neshek might not have signed with the Astros had Luke Gregerson not been in the fold first. The duo both had deals with the Astros done by Wednesday morning, and Neshek had plenty of clubs to choose from. But he knew Gregerson and Chad Qualls both from their days with […] [Read More]
Astros' pursuit of Andrew Miller likely won't be forgotten
SAN DIEGO — The Andrew Miller chase could have a lasting effect for the Astros this winter. In a positive, the industry sees the Astros are attempting to back up their talk of spending with actual offers. But the industry also noticed the Astros made a guaranteed four-year, $40 million offer to him. There was […] [Read More]
Astros GM Jeff Luhnow doubts Delino DeShields Jr. will be taken in Rule 5 draft

For students, cab rides just an ID swipe away - 0 Comments
Tech co. creates payment setup with colleges, taxis
Thousands of local college students can now pay for taxi rides using only their student IDs, the latest digital advance to the once-gritty world of cabs.
A local provider of in-cab payment terminals — those devices that broadcast maps and ads to passengers — arranged to accept payments via university ID cards from Emerson College and Suffolk University starting last month. Student IDs are increasingly used like pre-paid campus credit cards, with parents usually on the hook for refilling the balance.

Among the billions, there's that one!
I have a passion for music and the dream of a peaceful earth. I love music that relaxes me and appeals to my senses. I'm fascinated by art and simplicity of life. I consider myself, spontaneous, playful, flexible, open and honest. I look past the bad but see the good in people. Eventhough that may lead to disappointments at times. But who am I to criticize when mankind face greater challenges on a daily basis. I believe life will always lead me to exceptional women. The ones that wow. I have no time for selfishness, i'm way past that. I do have my own, however, sharing is showing respect. That respect is such a great quality to possess. I'm into someone who respects nature and challenges of life. Not complaining but working towards the the idea that tomorrow will be better. No negative vibes, cho just oneness and positive vibrations. Just be yourself, I will embrace the love you exude! Walk good. Nuff love! I find this awkward. I'm not used to online dating. However, I won't become a serial dater, for among the thousands there is one and she will find me. So i'm happy when I don't find a match. It only means her flight hasn't landed yet. I attended an all boys high school in Kingston, so that experience has shaped the way I see the world and its people. For my friends came from all walks of life, and socio-economic conditions. However, that did not matter for we were rooted youths. Thus i do not care how much you make, what you drive, where you live. But how you live, how you view the earth and its inhabitants. I will help you celebrate your achievements, for this is a testament to your perseverance. I love philosophy, my favourite author being Khalil Gibran. I love the outdoors and oftentimes take hikes by myself. I love to laugh, i'm a naturally happy person. I'm honest in my daily dealings for I believe in today for me and tomorrow for you. I'm a good listener, and i'm an objective and straightforward person. I'm awfully honest. And will always say something positive to enlighten your day. I listen to a daily dose of Marley and you might have seen me Jamming to "Is this love on the freeway." Anyway, who sent you? One love yuh hear!

Noteworthy Choice 1889-CC Silver Dollar1889-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. Splashes of pale apricot color congregate along the borders, while the centers are generally toned with pearl-gray hues. The strike is above average although not needle-sharp; only the hair directly above the ear is not boldly brought up. The satiny surfaces are impressively undisturbed. A couple of tiny marks near the arrowheads do not appear to limit the grade, and are mentioned primarily as a pedigree marker for future auction appearances.
Although the low mintage for the 1889-CC (350,000 pieces) is above that of the 1881-CC and 1885-CC issues, the latter two dates appeared in surprising quantity in the GSA hoard that was dispersed during the 1970s. Only a single 1889-CC Dollar emerged from the GSA sales. The 1889-CC is the key to a collection of Carson City Morgan Dollars. Most survivors are well circulated, and although sliders are always available for a price, Uncirculated examples are rare and under tremendous pressure from specialists of this widely held series.

Pardon the drool all over this post, but any news we can get about Lady Gaga's next album makes us swoon face-first onto the keyboard. According to Gaga's producer, the next generation of Lady G isn't going to be just great; it's going to blow our mind socks off. "It's going to be shocking, shocking, shocking," raves producer RedOne about the upcoming album.
We love that the one thing Gaga's producer is excited about is how scandalized we'll all be by it. Not that it's good. Not that it's well-made. Just that it's going to leave us sitting in front of the stereo with our mouths open and eyebrows burned off. These two sound like a match made in cigarette-goggle heaven.
Continues RedOne, "We still want to give them something with a kick, something that makes them say, 'Oh my God! We didn't expect this!'" Squee! But given the eye-brow raisers Gaga has delivered unto us in the past, what could she do next that we wouldn't expect? A woman who has already bled from her stomach at the VMAs, greeted the Queen in a latex dress and donned an exposed monster spinal cord really needs to work in order to up the ante. So just in case these two are on the lookout for fresh ideas, we have a few suggestions for how Gaga can take it to the next insane level:
- Coinciding with the album's release, Gaga pulls a 180 and refuses to wear anything but body-concealing bottoms: mom jeans, peasant skirts, huge billowing harem pants that conceal a grand piano and JNCOs.
- Gaga cheats on Kermit with every member of Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. At the same time.
- Has anyone done anything with Sasquatch yet? Okay, so, music video with Sasquatch. No, sorry, we meant sex tape with Sasquatch.
- Gaga dyes her platinum hair back to brown. Actually, no, scratch that. We don't think we could handle a change that huge.

If the people involved in this project had wanted to tell the truth about Edie, they would have corroborated their "facts", which they clearly did not. \n\nLet's see now... Edie was never a heroin addict. They forget to mention she was bipolar years before the syndrome was accepted in the United States. Her brothers, Minty and Bobbie, and her father never molested her. She was bulimic, not anorexic. Minty was heterosexual, not homosexual. Bobby's death was an accident. Edie's death was an accident. Her maternal grandmother never drank alcohol. Her parents and her siblings never abandoned her. Her mother was never institutionalized and she is buried right next to Edie. Edie never had a 'ring' from Dylan.\n\nShe was never pregnant by Dylan. She was never in love with Warhol or Dylan. She didn't have electroshock therapy until the last two years of her life. Edie was horrified about Vietnam and constantly in fear that her brothers would be sent to war. The list of misrepresentation goes on and on and on.\n\nMost of Edie's family and friends refused to participate in this movie. Jean Stein refused to seel the rights to the memorial book on Edie to the makers of this movie.\n\nCan I give a minus five star opinion of this supposed "biopic"?

In the beginning it seemed to be a little slow moving , but quickly after it took off and I found myself intrigued by the times it was suppossedly part of. The sad part is that it moved me so that the next day I wanted to find out more about Edie.Unfortunately Warhol has blocked her out of his past of which she seemed to be such a part of. If you are a hippie or flower child raised , or you experienced those times it makes for good watching .

Press release from Business Wire
To Boost Mobile Banking Adoption, Engage Branch and Call Center Staff Says Fiserv White Paper
<p class='bwalignc'> Paper outlines strategies to train, equip and incent frontline staff to drive adoption </p>
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
To Boost Mobile Banking Adoption, Engage Branch and Call Center Staff Says Fiserv White Paper10:33 EDT Tuesday, June 25, 2013
BROOKFIELD, Wis. (Business Wire) -- Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, has published a new white paper that explains how financial institutions can boost mobile banking adoption by utilizing frontline staff at branches and call centers as mobile banking experts. The complimentary white paper, "Mobile Banking Adoption: Your Frontline Staff Holds the Key to Growth," can be downloaded at fiserv.com/frontline-staff.
By taking advantage of the referral power of frontline staff, financial institutions can actively drive mobile banking adoption above the typical 15 to 20 percent rate expected among online banking customers. The majority of consumers still lack knowledge about mobile banking and the benefits it offers. Frontline staff can serve as an influential source of information about mobile banking to build awareness of benefits and educate customers on how to get started using the service.
By equipping frontline staff with the right tools and resources, financial institutions can ensure efforts to drive mobile adoption are successful. A comprehensive "Strategies for Success" program should incorporate:
- Employee Training – Design training programs to educate staff on mobile banking value and steps for online and offline enrollment.
- Employee Incentives – Increase staff engagement by providing incentives, such as opportunities for prizes, for promoting and enrolling customers in mobile banking.
- Consumer Marketing and Promotional Materials – Impactful tools and resources, such as staff talking points, consumer takeaways and in-branch collateral, will effectively aid in the promotion of mobile banking.
- Metrics to Evaluate Success and Impact– Establishing then measuring success metrics, such as percentage of active uses and mobile transaction volume, enables financial institutions to note growth and areas where adoption is lagging to best focus marketing campaigns.
- Ongoing Engagement with Users – Continued engagement enables frontline staff to remind mobile banking users of the benefits and value of mobile banking, which could lead to increased usage and convenience for customers.
"Mobile banking can provide a positive return on investment for financial institutions, as use of the service can drive incremental transaction volume and shift transactions away from higher cost channels, while also improving customer satisfaction," said Erich Litch, division president, Digital Channels, Fiserv. "Branch and call center staff are a tremendous asset that financial institutions have at their disposal, and utilizing them to promote adoption and use of strategic services such as mobile banking can be highly effective."

BETHLEHEM For the second time in the past year, the Bethlehem Planning Board is hearing a proposal to keep chickens as pets.
Dana Scalere, of 12 North Helderberg Parkway in Slingerlands, went before the board on Tuesday, June 3. Town approval is needed because the property is zoned as a residential area.
The application proposes the purchase of six female chickens "to be used as family pets for sustainability, for insect control and for the use of eggs for personal consumption." The coop would be located near the rear of the property and an average of 30 feet or greater from neighboring properties.
Neighbors to the west and south of Scalere wrote letters of support for the chickens.
Senior Planner Kenneth Kovalchik said the main issue to be discussed was that Scalere was applying to keep six chickens. The Best Management Practice the town uses to consult on the matter calls for keeping no more than four chickens. However, farm market law suggests baby chicks be purchased six at a time if they are under two months.
"I asked for six because of the law, but also because more chickens keep each other warm in the winters, and I don't want to have to run any sort of electricity or heat to the coop," said Scalere. "It's not going to be a building, just a coop."
Scalere said the lot is large and can accommodate six chickens. She said if she wants to buy the chickens from a local store, she needs to buy six or she'll have to find them off Craigslist.
The plans call for the enclosed run to have a pitched roof, with the highest point being 8 feet. The coop will be about 4 feet and enclosed by 10 square feet of fence, at 5 feet tall.

Rare 1878 Three Dollar Gold Piece, PR631878 $3 PR63 PCGS. The 1878 proof three dollar gold piece boasts one of the lowest mintages of the series, with just 20 pieces struck. Walter Breen believed the issue was coined simply to fill out the gold proof sets for the year, and all of the sets were apparently sold. The elusive nature of the 1878 proofs was well known to 19th century numismatists, and W. Elliot Woodward called the date "rare" in his catalog of the Heman Ely Collection in 1884,only six years after the set was issued. Experts believe only 10-12 examples are extant today in all grades. Several years can pass between auction appearances, and any offering is an important opportunity for the gold specialist. The incredible PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS specimen in lot 3463 of the Boston ANA Signature Auction (Heritage, 8/2010) realized $63,250.
Only 20 Examples Minted
Only 20 Examples Minted
The present coin is a well struck piece that shows the diagnostic die lump near Liberty's ear quite plainly. The surfaces display the slight orange peel texture seen on many 19th century proofs, while the deeply mirrored fields are highlighted by vivid orange and greenish-gold accents. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 1 in 63, 6 finer (4/11).(Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 28AL, PCGS# 8042)

Valero gives $410K to charities
20 area groups receive money from company
Most of the $410,000 will go to help area youths.
The grants are part of $5.35 million raised at the Valero Texas Open and Valero Benefit for Children Golf Classic in September in San Antonio. Bob Grimes, with Valero's Corpus Christi refinery, said the company raised about $1 million more than last year and was able to help 20 local charities, nine more than last year.
Valero helps Charities
Valero distributed $410,000 to these 20 charities. Charities are
listed by grant amount.
The Boys & Girls Club of Corpus Christi will use its $50,000 for a computer lab at its Greenwood club and to boost its general operating funds at the Gonzalez club, said Anne Baker, executive director.
Sgt. David Morris with the Corpus Christi Police Athletic League said the league will start basketball and volleyball programs with its $25,000 grant.
"This offers a whole lot of children the opportunity to get involved whereas they wouldn't be able to do so otherwise," he said.

For a summer cut her mother would lop off the braids, leaving her with a chic bob for the warmer months.
Do you want your clothes to be chic, but still comfortable and practical?
That said, it is a chic alternative to hardwood floors and baby blues.
1856, as a noun, "style, artistic skill," from French chic, 19c. in "stylishness" sense, originally "subtlety" (16c.), of unknown origin, perhaps [Klein] related to German Schick "tact, skill," from Middle Low German schikken "arrange appropriately," or Middle High German schicken "to arrange, set in order;" or from French chicane, from chicanerie (see chicanery). The adjectival meaning "stylish" is from 1879 in English, "Not so used in F[rench]." [OED].

Peter Zander holds fresh eggs in front of the mobile chicken coop he invented. After positioning the coop, a solar-powered motor slowly moves the apparatus around your yard, giving the chickens fresh areas for food and foraging.
- Filed Under
As more and more chickens scratch and peck their way into suburban back yards, their handlers are getting increasingly sophisticated about making the digs for these favorite new family pets more attractive to their owners — and their wary neighbors. In fact, some of the fancy new coops and tidy mini-barns are beginning to show up in front yards across the Lower Hudson Valley.
And that's just what the Zander family of Somers had in mind when they created a handsome new moveable chicken house and named it the Front Yard Coop. They've been showing it off at local venues like Hilltop Hanover ...

This was the best price I found on this light when taking shipping into account. It shipped pretty quickly for a ground shipping option, which was helpful. The only complaint I would have is that when the part made it to me, the box was torn open a bit, but thankfully the light was fine. I'm guessing this is something that happened in transit, though, rather than something that was the fault of PartsGeek. Overall, I was very satisfied with this purchase.

Michael Harp feels the magic of the Muny every time he steps on the stage.
The 12-year-old from Swansea will appear as Puggsley in "The Addams Family," which opens tonight and runs through Sunday, his 12th show in five seasons.
While tearing into a Chicken Caesar Salad during his lunch break from rehearsing, Harp expressed his sheer joy at the opportunity to perform on the heralded stage of the oldest and largest outdoor theater in the country.
"You know when you step on the stage, it's going to be magical, that the performance is going to be spectacular," he said. "The Muny makes magic. It's that way for the performers, and I think the audience."
His eyes wide with excitement, he shared his enthusiasm about being part of summers at the Muny, trying to soak up everything he can from the creative teams surrounding him.
"It's been very fun. I've learned a lot. I am so grateful that I can be taught by these people," he said. "They are geniuses in their fields. They have helped me so much."
The son of Terry and Mary Harp, he has an older brother, Jordan, 18, who attends University of Illinois-Chicago, studying radiology, and a sister, Carlin, 22, who is a graduate student at St. Louis University, studying public health.
Mary Harp said they all recognize how fortunate he is.
"He has an appreciation for the incredible talent that he gets to learn from every time he's selected for a show. He loves the directors and choreographers and creative teams he's worked with," she said.
At age 8, he was cast in his first show, "Beauty and the Beast," in 2010, as a salt-and-pepper shaker in the youth ensemble..
"When I stepped on the stage and looked out, I went 'Holy Cow! That's huge!' My Mom said just wait until you hear the applause. After we did 'Be Our Guest,' it sounded like thunder!" he said.
That was 2010, and he went on to play Randolph in "Bye Bye Birdie," with one of his mentors, Lara Teeter, playing Albert, the next year, along with chorus work that season and the next. Last year, he appeared in four shows -- "Shrek," "Mary Poppins," "Les Miserables" and "Spamalot."
This year, he was cast in featured roles, as Michael in "Billy Elliot," and as Puggsley Addams, as well as chorus in the season finale "Hello, Dolly!"
"He has worked very hard at dance and voice, and that has put him in the position to be able to get these roles. But being selected depends so much on what the director is looking for, and there are so many gifted children going for these roles that I believe he knows how special this summer is for him," Mary Harp said.
Playing Michael, Billy's best friend in the season opener, was a memorable experience for several reasons. He could relate to the story, and liked how they remained loyal friends, and his scene-stealing "Expressing Yourself" number was his favorite dance to date.
He gained valuable insight working with 14-year-old Tade Biesinger, a Broadway veteran who played the title character.
"He was humble. He didn't brag. He had manners," Harp said. "Even though he was older than me, he didn't ignore me like some other older teens normally would do. He noticed all the other little kids too. He was nice to everyone."
Now immersed as the youngest Addams in the kooky macabre family made famous through a popular TV sitcom and two movie adaptations, Harp is thrilled to be part of this musical comedy, a Muny debut.
"The Addams Family" features music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa ("Wild Party," "Big Fish") and a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice ("Jersey Boys"), and opened on Broadway in 2009 with Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth in the leading roles.
"I just like being an Addams. It is such a funny family. It is going to be a spectacular show," he said. The cast features some heavy hitters, as in Rob McClure ("Shrek," "Mary Poppins") as Gomez and Jenny Powers ("Mary Poppins") as Morticia.
Harp was in both "Shrek" and "Mary Poppins" last summer, so he knew the pair playing his parents, and is a big fan.
"They are both sweet. She is a goddess of the stage. He is hysterical. I love the show," he said, noting how funny Uncle Fester, Lurch and Grandma are, too. "They are out-of-the-park hysterical. Wednesday's pretty funny too -- she has a 'normal' boyfriend!"
He familiarized himself with the sitcom through YouTube, and laughed recalling some of the shenanigans he witnessed.
"Every single character has this funny thing they do, like Uncle Fester with a light bulb, Lurch playing the organ, Morticia cutting her flowers," he said.
"It is a fantastic musical! It shows how they cope, accept each other and love each other as a family. I think it's better than the movie, but that's just my opinion," he said, with a little shrug and a smile.
Harp said the cast is creative, and they are putting much work into their characters. "The goal is that it's going to be big, and it's going to be great," he said.
"Michael focuses pretty hard on what the director wants from a character, and is learning to really try to understand his characters and how they relate to the others in the show," Mary Harp said.
Harp developed the showbiz spark while playing with Legos and immersing himself in make-believe as a young lad.
"I would make these little people, and I would create stories, and make up movies in my room," he said.
And when he accompanied his sister, Carlin, to tap dance lessons at COCA (Center of Creative Arts in St. Louis), he was hooked. He began taking lessons at age 4 from Tracy Dupre, and she is now his advanced tap teacher.
"It looked like so much fun to me. I wanted to do it. I just kept progressing to other things," he said. At COCA, he takes jazz, modern, ballet, and hip hop classes too.
He has auditioned for the Muny every March, among the hundreds of youngsters who show up to learn the first dance number, wait for callbacks, and then go through the whittling process. The directors cast the season at the same time.
"You're either put in one or more or none," he said. He previously has been part of the Muny Kids too, as performing ambassadors.
He appeared as Kurt in "The Sound of Music" this spring at the Lyric Opera in Chicago, and has also performed at the Touhill Center for Performing Arts and the Fabulous Fox, where he was a Lollipop Guild Munchkin in "The Wizard of Oz" in 2011.
After school and on weekends, he takes dance, voice and acting lessons. But he also fits in time to be a normal pre-teen.
"If I'm not working on a show, I'm riding my bike, playing gutterball in the pool, playing Nerf with my friend Carson," he said. "I'm reading Harry Potter books, and I'm on the seventh one. I love them."
But he knows it takes hard work to succeed.
"If you want to be better than you were the day before, you have to practice. You can't be sleeping on the couch or playing videogames. It's a hard business and you have to make your luck," he said.
He will enter seventh grade this fall, and hopes to keep pursuing his passion -- "Definitely my whole life."
"It's just fun to do it, to express a different character every single time. I love performing. You get to be in different worlds. That's the magic part," he said.
His father, Terry, said he marvels at his son's ability to be so natural on the Muny stage.
"I am amazed that he can perform so easily in such a big venue when talking in front of a group of five people makes most people nervous," he said.
Rehearsals are typically 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Michael is up early, making his own breakfast, packing his lunch, cleaning up in the kitchen, and talking to his Mom about how good the cast is.
"He's a pretty happy kid," she said.

The Effects of Entry Level Education and Length of Employment on Staff Nurse Need Satisfaction
Johnston-Hanson, Kimberly S.
MetadataShow full item record
The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in employment need satisfaction between hospital staff nurses prepared at the baccalaureate and those prepared at the associate level. In addition, study examined the influence of length of employment on need satisfaction. The random sample consisted of 400 registered nurses working in five counties of Iowa. The modified Porter Need Satisfaction Index and Demographic Questionnaire were mailed to these subjects. Forty-four baccalaureate prepared and 29 associate prepared nurses met the criteria for inclusion in the study. Statistical analysis of the research hypotheses failed to determine statistically significant differences in all need satisfaction categories based solely on educational preparation. Baccalaureate prepared nurses working 6 or more years were found to be significantly less satisfied with the need for self actualization than those working 0-5 years. No significant differences were found in need satisfaction based on the interaction of education and length of employment. Both individual and organizational differences may have contributed to the lack of significance found. Also, a small sample size may have contributed to these findings. Descriptive analysis was performed for need satisfaction and need importance of associate and baccalaureate prepared nurses. Because similarities were found in the ranking of needs for the associate and baccalaureate prepared nurses, nurse educators need to evaluate these findings to determine the need to include need satisfaction in their curriculum. Implications for nursing management include promoting strategies that may improve the esteem, autonomy, and actualization of practicing nurses. Because satisfaction has been closely linked to productivity, these changes may improve the quality of nursing care and ultimately benefit the consumer.

Partner testimonial as to how effectively the VOA assesments tool worked for their customers, providing quantifiable results on how much it has saved its customers.
Some typical feedback we got was that the customers saw that the SQL DBA insists on more memory, whereas VOA clearly indicated that they are not even using a quarter of that memory. It quickly highlighted to us what the root cause of performance problems were.

Student Loan Direct is an easy-to-use, user-friendly portal that also provides help and information functions. It enables users to create correct and properly completed documents required for the loan process. They can complete their loan applications and data update forms, view their loan agreements, balances, and repayment history, exchange messages with the Student Loan Center, and communicate using this channel instead of postal mail. The launch of the Student Loan Direct is a success story: 50 percent of all new loan applications already arrived through the portal started in September 2011. Since the virtualization of Student Loan Center, there were no unplanned server downtimes, and the server room requires less cooling and energy. The fault tolerance of the VMware-based environment, tested before implementing the Student Loan Direct portal, showed that operation continuity can be ensured if combined with regular data backups. The introduction of 7x24 service availability requires setting up a backup data center that Student Loan Center will implement using VMware's disaster recovery solution.
"Using VMware's virtualization solution, we have set up a server environment with high-availability and load balancing to serve our Student Loan Direct portal. So our customers can rely on our services around the clock, 7 days a week."
The IT team at Dierbergs Markets experienced five major outages in its data center in one year using Microsoft Hyper-V, which was supposed to be a cost-effective approach to virtualizing systems. That prompted Dierbergs to move to VMware vSphere® software.
"With the VMware solutions, we spend more of our day focusing on strategic initiatives, which in turn helps IT drive real value back into the business."

Review Details
Nike Zoom Revis
- Product Review (submitted on January 7, 2014):
I bought this for casual use and I am really happy with the purchase.
It looks great, it's very comfortable, and it has full length zoom at an affordable price.
The only drawback is that it is designed for a snug fit because it is a trainer; but that is a minor thing. I read that others went up 1/2 a size for a better fit.

Photoshop CS5 for Photographers provides comprehensive Photoshop training targeting the needs of photographers. In this course, author Chris Orwig demonstrates the fundamental skills used to enhance digital photos, including managing and correcting color, sharpening, making selections and adjustments, retouching, and printing from Photoshop. In addition to teaching the techniques that enable photographers to refine and publish their photos, the course includes live-action segments that encourage thinking photographically and shooting with Photoshop's capabilities in mind. Exercise files are included with the course.
Let's begin by taking a look at how we can use the Burn or Dodge tools in order to make some simple corrections to our photographs. We'll start off with these simple corrections and then get to enhancements in the next movie. Well, one of the things that I noticed with image is that the forehead is a little bit too shiny. It's a little bit too bright. So I want to bring the density of that area down. To do so, I'm going to copy my Background layer, press Command+J on the Mac, Ctrl+J on the PC. We'll go ahead and call this new layer burn and dodge and then next we're going to select our Burn or Dodge tool.
In this case, we want to darken, so we'll select the Burn tool because that burns down detail. Now, we need to choose our Range, Midtones, and then we definitely need to lower the Exposure. You very rarely have that high of an exposure. So I'm going to simply press the 2 key to go to 20%, or you can always click and drag this slider down. But we want something probably 20% or less. Protect Tones, turn that one on and then go ahead and change your brush size. You can do so by pressing the Bracket key and here, all that we're going to do is just paint over this area of the forehead with this tool.
Now I'm going to take this a little bit farther than needed. I'll do that to just illustrate this idea. Zoom in a touch here, and then I also want to just darken up these highlights underneath the eyes a little bit as well. There's just a little bit there, kind of even this tone out a little bit and also a little bit on the nose too and around the face. Okay, well, let's take a look at our before and after. Here we have before and now, after. Really, really simple. Well, let's say that as we zoom in, we realize, yeah, it could be nice to kind of brighten up these shadows underneath the eyes down here.
How could we do that? Well, we could do thins on the same layer, or we could duplicate this layer. Let's go ahead and do that. I'm going to press the Command+J on the Mac, Ctrl+J on the PC, and now I have my burn and dodge. I'll go ahead and call this burn and dodge 2. Next, I'm going to select this time my Dodge tool. Exposure, again we want something really nice and low there and we want a small brush size. I have a nice small brush. Now what I'm going to do is just start to paint over these little shadow areas and the trick with all of this, of course, is that sometimes you'll do too much or sometimes you won't do enough and trying to find the sweet spot for how this actually works.
So one of the things I found is by having this on a new layer, we can lower the Opacity as needed to get this just right. You can see that I'm painting around the other area of the eyes as well just to kind of even the tone. I'll make my way around here on the nose just a little bit and just work out some of these little shadows that I think could be improved a bit. Let's take a look. Here we have before and then after. Really subtle adjustments, but keep in mind, we don't want to go over the top here. We want to keep that pretty nice and clean.
Again, here's our before and then our after. To take a look at our overall before-and -after, let's click on the Eye icon on that background layer. Here we have before and now after, subtle yet nonetheless significant adjustments. Well, let me zoom out a little bit because this is a low-res file here so we can see this a little bit more clearly, our final before and after, some simple yet nonetheless helpful improvements to the photograph. Well now that we've made these simple adjustments, let's go ahead and take a look at how we can take this even further.
So let's keep this image open, as we'll be working on it in the next movie.

I did this craft at VBS & it went over HUGE. I did not use x's & o's. I adapted it to the Bible story of the fishes & loves & made the fish & bread slices of bread for the children to understand. As a time constraint was on us we had farmed out the cutting throughout the church so the children just had to glue the lines & the gravel on the bottom of the fish bowl. After they were done they loved playing & even challenging the adults. I would recommend this craft. It was HUGE with the kids. WINNER HERE.

Inmates vie for Unit Cup
WALLA WALLA — After 15 years of incarceration, Ryan Carter, who only has about three months left at the Washington State Penitentiary, is learning to adapt to life on the outside. And over the last two weeks, he learned some valuable life lessons during a grueling inmate sports competition called the Unit Cup.
WALLA WALLA — After 15 years of incarceration, Ryan Carter, who only has about three months left at the Washington State Penitentiary, is learning to adapt to life on the outside.
And over the last two weeks, he learned some valuable life lessons during a grueling inmate sports competition called the Unit Cup.
"Through this we were able to bring people together and do something positive as a whole," said Carter, an East Complex minimum security inmate.
It is fitting that the Unit Cup — which champions teamwork, sportsmanship, endurance and other benefits of competition — was created by a penitentiary team consisting of recreation director Jennifer Adams and psychological assistant Katrina Suckow.
"You are helping them to improve their spirit and change their lifestyles and improve their social interaction," Suckow said, as she carried her clipboard and readied the men for what would be a one-hour relay race on Saturday.
"Seeing them puts a smile on your face. Not only for me but for them too," Suckow added.
For Adams, seeing the turnout was very pleasing, especially when she considered that the initial response was not as positive.
"The best part is just starting a whole new program and getting the inmates excited about it," Adams said. "I have seen it go from guys not very interested to them being very interested."
Saturday's race was the culmination of 10 days of events for five teams, with competitions spread out over two weeks and ranging from basketball to volleyball, Scrabble to the traditional handball, which officials said is still one of the favorite sports at the penitentiary prison.
Pickleball was the favorite for Carter, the captain of the Titans, the team that won Saturday's relay and the overall Unit Cup winner.
"I think the real lesson here is that the guys came into this event and they finished what they started; that's the characteristic of a winner," Carter said.
To an outsider, Saturday's relay may have seemed surreal. A gathering of men of varying ages, many with hardened looks, most with tattoos and all smiling and enjoying a friendly competition.
The Unit Cup isn't the first organized sports competition at the penitentiary. Earlier this year, staff organized a softball tournament and brought in teams from the outside to play against and interact with the men on the inside.
Some of those tournaments took place in West Complex, where maximum security inmates are kept.
Prison spokeswoman Shari Hall pointed out that the benefits of organized sports go beyond rehabilitation and help with daily prison life.
"Keep in mind, idle hands are never a good thing," Hall said, "We work hard to create these programs at little or no cost, and they really benefit everybody."
But there is also the chance to help the inmates change for the better through sports.
"A lot of times the guys in here have never had the chance to participate in structured activities, it has always been about themselves," Hall said.
On Saturday, however, it was about going all out for the team.
"It is definitely positive, this program. It is not an individual thing. It is a group working together," Carter said.

Adam Smith had 19 points, six rebounds and five assists Saturday as UNC Wilmington won its first game of the season, 63-54 over Illinois State. Keith Rendleman added 13 points and 14 rebounds, and Trevor Deloach had 11 points off the bench for the Seahawks (1-5). Jackie Carmichael had 15 points and 13 rebounds for Illinois State (5-3). UNC Wilmington, which never trailed, was on top 32-23 at halftime and built that lead to as many as 12 points when Freddie Jackson hit a jumper to make it 54-42 with 6:32 remaining. The Redbirds responded with 10 straight points, including 3-pointers by Tyler Brown and Anthony Cousin, to pull within 54-42 with 1:47 left. But Deloach snapped the Seahawks' cold streak with a layup, and UNC Wilmington hit 7 of 8 free throws in the final minute to clinch it.

hey guys just signed up for this site because I am looking for my first good set of over ear headphones. I listen to rock music almost exclusively everything from the Beatles to nirvana to radiohead to brand new etc. I don't want to be drowned in bass. I want something relatively affordable like under 100 bucks but I will be using these for hopefully the next decade. Comfort is important and also maybe something others on the train won't be able to hear as much.
If you want rock cans get the grado sr80i. There's nothing that comes close under 100 dollars for rock. Mind you, these are open headphones meaning they leak a whole lot of sound and the people sitting around you will be able to hear your music almost as clearly as you can. If that's not a problem however buy them now, you wont regret it.
