PHILADELPHIA, PA – Ten Thousand Villages, a fair trade retailer of handmade crafts, will donate 15 percent of their sales on Friday, February 12, 2010 from 4-8 p.m. to support Chestnut Hill College's student service trip to the Bigwa Sisters Secondary School in Tanzania. Ten Thousand Villages is located at 8331 Germantown Avenue in Philadelphia. The money raised will be used to offset expenses for four students in the College's Global Studies class who will travel to Morogoro, a city in the East African Republic of Tanzania from May 16 through June 2, 2010. Marie Conn, Ph.D., professor of religion, will travel with students and faculty from Marywood University and Rosemont College, sister schools in the African Sisters Education Collaborative (ASEC). ASEC works to educate the women religious living in Africa and to prepare them for leadership roles. While in Tanzania, Chestnut Hill College students will tutor the sisters in English proficiency, and also help them prepare for their final examinations. This is the second service trip to Tanzania for students from Chestnut Hill; they previously visited the Bigwa School in May, 2009. Students planning on attending the service trip have hosted weekly bake sales on campus and will sell fair trade Valentine's Day chocolate to help offset the cost of the trip. Because of the growing need at the Bigwa School, students are also collecting pens, pencils, and paper to take with them in May. "The entire Chestnut Hill College community is grateful to Rena Shaffer, manager of Ten Thousand Villages of Chestnut Hill, for helping us raise funds for our service trip to Tanzania in May," says Marie Conn, Ph.D., professor of religion who will be accompanying students on the Tanzania trip. For more information about the service trip to Tanzania, please contact Marie Conn, Ph.D., professor of religion at email@example.com or 215.248.7044 with any questions or monetary donations.
Please join the Division of Teacher Education and Leadership and the Council for Exceptional Children in participating in the Seventh Annual Walk for Lily's Hope Foundation on October 5th from 2-3 p.m.
All donations are contributed to the foundation, which assists premature babies and their families.

St. Martin is famous for its beaches. They are great in number and each distinctively attractive.
Duty-Free Shopping:
One of the great attractions of the island has been the duty-free shopping available on both sides of the island. Luxury items from all over the world, French and Italian clothing fashions, Dutch and Japanese electronics, Indonesian batiks and Chinese embroidery, jewelry, leather, crystal, liquors, and fine porcelain, free of all taxes and customs, are regularly offered at bargain prices. The French side also provides a more leisurely shopping experience since the crowds from the cruise ships tend to be attracted more to the Dutch side.
French St. Martin does not have any casinos; however, just a short ride away, are eight casinos on the Dutch side. Most hotels provide round-trip transportation to the casinos.
Visibility in the waters around the island typically extends for about 100 feet and sometimes can even reach up to 200 feet. The coral reefs offer a wide variety of sea life, and just off the coast of St. Maarten in the Great Bay lies the wreck of an English battleship dating back to 1801. Dive operators may be found at many of the major resorts and hotels as well as at a number of independent shops around the island. Instruction from beginning to advanced is readily available, and certified divers should remember to bring their licenses as well as their diving logs. Equipment may be rented easily, and snorkeling is especially inexpensive. The Dolphin Club is opened for children (5-12) during July & August as well as for the Christmas & Easter vacations. Your children can take any snorkeling equipment for free.
Windsurfing, water-skiing, parasailing, and jet-skiing are activities that are regularly offered at the more popular beaches and in the inland lagoons. Rental and instruction tend to be fairly inexpensive.
Small boats, like Sunfish and Sailfish, may be rented out at many of the hotels, and larger craft can also be chartered from a number of different operators around the island for longer trips to more isolated spots like the Ilet Pinel. Sailing instruction is also included if desired. For racing enthusiasts, a number of regattas are held here every year usually at the end of March.
The offshore waters offer a wide and challenging variety of gamefish including marlin, tuna, dolphinfish, barracuda, and kingfish. The Marlin Cup occurs in the month of May and the Saint-Martin Billfish Tournament takes place here every year in the month of June. Boats can be chartered at reasonable rates all year long, although some of the fish are only in season in these waters from December through March. Charters typically include bait, tackle, and some form of refreshment.
For those who want to experience the natural beauty of the island on foot, there are 25 miles of clearly defined footpaths running through the mountains and along the shore, revealing some truly spectacular panoramas.
Horseback Riding:
The Coralita Beach Resort operates a small stable and rents out horses for romantic rides along the beach.
The one 18-hole golf course on the island is located on the Dutch side of St. Maarten nearby at Mullet Bay. The course is open to all visitors; call ahead to reserve a slot.
Dining & Dancing:
St. Martin is perhaps most famous for its restaurants and the elegance of its cuisine. From the most sumptuous of French delicacies to the tangy blends of Creole cooking to more exotic tastes like Chinese and East Indian, the island provides a wide variety of restaurants, bistros, brassieres, and barbecue shacks called lolos that delight even the most sophisticated of gourmets. The St. Martinois take a deserved pride in their cooking, which approaches something of an art form here. For dinner at most of the more fashionable dining spots, reservations are definitely recommended, although usually they are not necessary at lunch time. Many places also provide music for dancing, as do the many nightclubs around the island. Bands play a variety of zouk, calypso, reggae, jazz, and pop.

American Nurses Association Brochure
Registered Nurses: A Distinctive Health Care Profession
Reprinted from ANA. Copyright 2007 by American Nurses Association. All rights reserved.
In the first half of 2006, over 65,000 persons were newly licensed as registered nurses, joining 2.9 million other RNs in the nation's largest health care profession. Each followed a distinct path of education to become a registered nurse and, after obtaining the RN license, increased his or her expertise as a direct health care provider in work settings ranging from acute care hospitals to home and community centers to corporate work sites.
From the basic education required of an RN to the advanced educational clinical paths taken by more experienced nurses, the depth and breadth of the nursing profession is meeting different health care needs of the population.
Florence Nightingale, in her Notes on Nursing: What It Is and What It Is Not, defined nursing as having "charge of the personal health of somebody . . . and what nursing has to do . . . is to put the patient in the best condition for nature to act upon him." The philosophy has been restated and refined since 1859, but the essence is the same. In the words of nursing theorist Virginia Henderson, nurses help people, sick or well, to do those things needed for health or a peaceful death that people would do on their own if they had the strength, will, or knowledge. The most current definition that reflects the evolution of professional nursing is from the 2003 edition of ANA's Nursing's Social Policy Statement:
Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations.
What defines nursing and sets it apart from other health care professions, particularly medicine with which it has long been considered part and parcel? It is nurses' focus—in theory and practice—on the response of the individual and the family to actual or potential health problems. Nurses are educated to be attuned to the whole person, not just the unique presenting health problem. While a medical diagnosis of an illness may be fairly circumscribed, the human response to a health problem may be much more fluid and variable and may have a great effect on the individual's ability to overcome the initial medical problem. It is often said that physicians cure, and nurses care. In what some describe as a blend of physiology and psychology, nurses build on their understanding of the disease and illness process to promote the restoration and maintenance of health in their clients.
Nurses' broad-based education and holistic focus positions them as the logical network of providers on which to build a true health care system for the future. An acknowledged realization that individuals have considerable responsibility for their personal health has driven an increasing recognition that there is a professional group, whose focus is education and practice, that can facilitate individuals efforts to reach their fullest health potential. This profession is that of registered nurses.
To achieve the RN title, an individual must graduate from a state-approved school of nursing—either a four-year university program, a two-year associate degree program, or a three-year diploma program—and pass a state RN licensing examination called the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses
The four-year university-based Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree provides the nursing theory, sciences, humanities, and behavioral science preparation necessary for the full scope of professional nursing responsibilities, and provides the knowledge based necessary for advanced education in specialized clinical practice, research, or primary health care. In 2005, 573 U.S. colleges and universities
offer the BSN or advanced nursing degree.
• First two years – Most programs concentrate studies on psychology, human growth and development, biology, microbiology, organic chemistry, nutrition, and anatomy and physiology.
• Final two years – This is when many programs begin the focused nursing curriculum including adult acute and chronic disease; maternal/child health; pediatrics; psychiatric/mental health nursing; and community health nursing. Also, nursing theory, bioethics, management, research and statistics, health assessment, pharmacology, pathophysiology, and electives in complex nursing processes are covered.
Most often, supervised clinical practice is obtained during the last two years in hospitals, nursing homes, and community settings.
A two-year program granting an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) prepares individuals for a defined technical scope of practice. Set in the framework of general education, the clinical and classroom components prepares ADN nurses for nursing roles that require nursing theory and technical proficiency. Many RNs whose first degree is an ADN return to school during their working life to earn a bachelor's degree or higher. In 2006, many students find the ADN program to be longer than 2 years, often 3 years or more. In 2005, Associate Degree programs were 58.9% of all U.S. basic programs.
Usually associated with a hospital, the Diploma in Nursing program combines classroom and clinical instruction, usually over three years. Although once a common educational route for RNs, diploma programs have diminished steadily—to 4 percent of all basic RN education programs in 2006—as nursing education has shifted from hospitals to academic institutions.
Education of RN Workforce, 2004
Diploma ................................................. 17.5%
Masters or PhD ...................................... 13%
Upon graduation, an individual must pass the NCLEX-RN to obtain a license to practice registered nursing and use the RN title. State boards of nursing govern licensing requirements, set continuing education or competency requirements, and handle disciplinary actions against RNs. Once an RN, the nurse must practice following the requirements of the nurse practice act in the state in which they function as an RN.
A licensed practical nurse is not a registered nurse. Also called a licensed vocational nurse (LVN) in some states, an LPN has taken a 12- to 14-month post-high school educational course that focuses on basic nursing care. LPNs also must pass a licensing exam (the NCLEX-PN). In 2005, there were about 710,000 LPNs in the United States, with an average salary of $36,210. The membership of the American Nurses Association consists only of registered nurses (RNs).
WHERE DO RNs WORK?
As members of the nation's largest health care profession, registered nurses practice wherever people need nursing care, including such common sites as hospitals, homes, schools, workplaces, and community centers, and uncommon areas such as children's camps, homeless shelters, and tourist sites. Over 2.4 million of the nation's 2.9 million RNs were employed in 2004, about one-quarter of them on a part-time basis.
About 56 percent of nurses currently work in hospitals. Hospital unit settings include intensive care, operating/recovery room, stepdown, emergency room, labor and delivery, and outpatient units.
The median salary of a staff nurse working full-time in hospitals in 2005 was $56,880.
Other settings where registered nurses work include:
Community/public health ..............14.9%
Ambulatory care ..........................11.5%
Nursing homes .............................6.3%
Nursing education .........................2.6%
Advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) is an umbrella term given to a registered nurse who has met advanced educational and clinical practice requirements, at a minimum of a Master's level, beyond the basic nursing education and licensing required of all RNs and who provides at least some level of direct care to patient populations. Under this umbrella fit the principal types of APRNs (numbers of APRNs based on 2004 data):
• Nurse practitioner (NP) – Working in clinics, nursing homes, hospitals, or private offices, more than 141,000 nurse practitioners are qualified to provide a wide range of primary and preventive health care services, prescribe medication, and diagnose and treat common minor illnesses and injuries.
• Certified nurse-midwife (CNM) – Almost 14,000 CNMs provide well-woman gynecological and low-risk obstetrical care. In 2002, CNMs attended more than 300,000 of U.S. births that year, in hospitals, birth centers, and homes.
• Clinical nurse specialist (CNS) – Working in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, private offices, and community-based settings, some 72,000 CNSs handle a wide range of physical and mental health problems, and also work in consultation, research, education, and administration.
• Certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) – The oldest of the advanced nursing specialties, CRNAs administer more than 65 percent of anesthetics given to patients each year. There were about 32,000 CRNAs in practice in 2004.
A move in nursing is currently underway to shift the standard for qualification to be an APRN to that of a Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP) by 2015. While still providing the direct care to patient populations, the shift demonstrates the comparability of the APRN with other such advanced roles, ie Doctorate in Physical Therapy, Doctorate in Pharmacy.
There are other nursing roles that are usually filled by master's prepared registered nurses as well, including nursing administration, nursing education, patient and staff education. Yet another master's level role currently being introduced into educational programs is the Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) role. This role
expects to act as a system facilitator for nursing care delivery.
Clearly, there are many opportunities for those prepared as registered nurses to advance their education and careers in a way that interests the individual and utilizes their strengths and areas of expertise.
There are well over 200,000 advanced practice nurses in the United States today, helping to bring needed primary health care services to the population and paving the way for increased use of such nurses in the future. In 2006, advanced practice nurses reported an average annual salary of $69,200.
Baccalaureate and advanced education prepares nurses for the independent clinical judgement necessary in an increasingly complex work environment. While in 1977, only 18 percent of RNs had a bachelor's degree, by 2004, over 34 percent of nurses had at least a BSN, and in 2005 nearly 35 percent of all new nursing students were enrolled in four-year programs. More than 124,000 students—almost 11 percent of them men—were enrolled in BSN programs in 2005.
The common thread uniting different types of nurses who work in varied areas is the nursing process—the essential core of practice for the registered nurse to deliver holistic, patient-focused care.
An RN uses a systematic, dynamic way to collect and analyze data about a client, the first step in delivering nursing care. Assessment includes not only physiological data, but also psychological, sociocultural, spiritual, economic, and life-style factors as well. For example, a nurse's assessment of a hospitalized patient in pain includes not only the physical causes and manifestations of pain, but the
patient's response—an inability to get out of bed, refusal to eat, withdrawal from family members, anger directed at hospital staff, fear, or request for more pain mediation.
The nursing diagnosis is the nurse's clinical judgment about the client's response to actual or potential health conditions or needs. The diagnosis reflects not only that the patient is in pain, but that the pain has caused other problems such as anxiety, poor nutrition, and conflict within the family, or has the potential to
cause complications—for example, respiratory infection is a potential hazard to an immobilized patient. The diagnosis is the basis for the nurse's care plan.
Based on the assessment and diagnosis, the nurse sets measurable and achievable short- and long-range goals for this patient that might include moving from bed to chair at least three times per day; maintaining adequate nutrition by eating smaller, more frequent meals; resolving conflict through counseling, or managing pain through adequate medication. Assessment data, diagnosis, and goals are written in the patient's care plan so that nurses as well as other health professionals caring for the patient have access to it.
Nursing care is implemented according to the care plan, so continuity of care for the patient during hospitalization and in preparation for discharge needs to be assured. Care is documented in the patient's record.
Both the patient's status and the effectiveness of the nursing care must be continuously evaluated, and the care plan modified as needed.
There are a variety of sources that provide scholarship or loan assistance for nursing education. A student's first stop in seeking aid should be their educational institution. Further information on financial aid is on the ANA website, www.NursingWorld.org.
The American Nurses Association, along with over 80 specialty nursing organizations, serves a vital role in advancing the role of nursing and the health care. ANA works to develop policies, set standards, advocate in government and private settings, provide education, maintain the Code of Ethics for Nurses and shape the future of the profession. It is members that allow associations to accomplish what needs to be done. Member dues provide the necessary funding and member volunteers provide the guidance and expertise to move the profession forward. Members make the difference – in the nursing profession and the health care of the nation.

The FDA's Circulatory System Devices panel voted 7-1 on Thursday that the benefits of the Cameron Health subcutaneous ICD system (S-ICD) outweigh the risks in appropriately selected patients.
Unlike all previous ICDs, the S-ICD is much easier to implant because it is does not require threading a lead to connect the device to the heart. Panel member Rick Lange said the S-ICD was an example of "I-should-have-thought-of-that technology", according to Heartwire reporter Reed Miller on twitter. That sentiment was echoed by device giant Boston Scientific in March when it agreed to acquire Cameron Health for $150 million initially, and as much as $1.2 billion in additional payments based on future performance, according to Reuters.
The advisory panel also voted 7-1 that the S-ICD was effective and 8-0 that it was safe.
Earlier this week, FDA reviewers posted the previously unavailable results of the pivotal trial for the S-ICD. The FDA review set the tone for a generally supportive panel meeting, finding that the trial met its primary safety and efficacy endpoints, though it identified several potential safety issues.

Some fashion trends can seem a little scary at first, however when you know how to wear them often there's nothing to be afraid of! One example of this is the crop top. Fun, flirty and playful, we love the ladylike way both Diane Kruger and Laura Whitmore wear theirs. The good news is you don't have to step away from those Easter eggs or bare your midriff to work the trend, because when teamed with high waisted trousers, skirts or jeans you won't expose any skin at all. So, what are you waiting for! Shop a selection of summer essential, simple white crop tops below.

The values of LM56 Thermostat project Circuit diagram of R1, R2 and R3 for the points of travel, VT1 and VT2 can be determined using the subsequent equations.
VT1 = 1. 250V x (R1) / (R1 R2 + R3)
VT2 = 1. 250V x (R1 + R2) / (R1 R2 + R3)
(R1 R2 + R3) = 27 k Ohms and
VT1 or T2 = [6.20 mV/degree Celsius x T] = 395 mV thus:
R1 = VT1 / (1. 25V) x 27 k Ohms
R2 = (VT2 / (1. 25V) x 27 k Ohms)-R1
R3 = 27 k Ohms - R1, R2
This thermostat of electronic circuit with IC LM56 diagram what simple project, you can use as reference. As you know, IC LM56 is correct double output thermostat low power characterized by National Semiconductors. trip temperature stable 2 points called VT1 and VT2 are made with dividing the LM56 IC 1,250 reference internal voltage volts by three outside resistors (R1, R2 and R3) component. There are 2 digital outputs for LM56 IC which is that output1 becomes weak when the temperature increases over T1 and goes high when the temperature decreases below (temperature T1±Hysteresis). Component IC LM56 has a variety of useful features as internal voltage reference internal temperature sensor, 2 internal voltage comparators, etc.

Adults celebrate Spanish literacy, education
On Thursday evening, festive Spanish music filled the Durham Armory as 27 adult students gathered with their families and friends to celebrate the accomplishments they had been working toward over the past year.
El Centro Hispano's Plaza Comunitaria taught students at three levels: literacy skills, primary education and secondary education. The program was created by the Mexican consulate in 2001 and brought to the U.S. in 2004. El Centro Hispano in Durham has been offering Plaza Comunitaria classes about that long, said Tana Hoffman, education program director.
"They are very excited to have a certificate of graduation because it's another level for them," Hoffman said. "They have gone too much of their life without reading. They are very emotional; it's a great thing for them."
All lessons are taught in Spanish, but ESL programs are offered, as well as other classes such as Circle of Patterns, a class about child abuse prevention, and Mother Read, a class encouraging parents to read to their children.
Hoffman noted that some of the students spoke other Latin American languages and overcame an extra milestone by learning Spanish and then learning to read and write in Spanish.
Students meet twice a week for a year, Hoffman said. This graduating class began their studies last September.
Because classes are so frequent, El Centro Hispano tries to shape the program into a family affair. While parents complete their studies, tutors are available to help students grades K-12 with homework. There is also a child-care center that focuses on preparing children ages 0 to 5 for kindergarten. All of the classes and programs are dependent on volunteers.
In addition to graduation, El Centro Hispano had another cause for celebration. A representative from Morrisville-based Lenovo attended the ceremony to donate 10 tablets for use in classes.
Alex Blanco, a five-year employee of Lenovo, started volunteering at El Centro Hispano last year teaching basic computer skills. After learning that his employer offered opportunities for grants in exchange for volunteer hours, he applied.
Suzie Koonce, a representative for community partnerships for Lenovo, explained that the program is relatively new. Since it was unveiled last year, Lenovo employees have volunteered about 7,500 hours in their communities. Lenovo makes grant decisions on a quarterly basis, and El Centro Hispano's tablets were part of the second-quarter awards.
The tablets will be used to help future students gain confidence. A beaming Alejandrina Aguirre said she felt more independent after completing the studies to gain her certificate.
"I thought, 'Look, I speak Spanish, but I don't read it,'" the 60-year-old said of her decision to enroll in the classes. She has five adult children who live in Mexico with families of their own.
"It's better than everyone explaining to me," she said of her new reading skills. "I'm happy. Just happy."

Insect stings and allergy
Allergic reaction to bee stings occurs when a person becomes sensitized to the venom from a previous sting. This reaction is different from the reaction to the poison in the bite of a black widow spider, which injects a potent toxin into the blood. Ordinarily, bee venom is not toxic and will only cause local pain and swelling. The allergic reaction comes when the immune system is oversensitized to the venom and produces antibodies to it. Histamines and other substances are released into the bloodstream, causing blood vessels to dilate and tissues to swell. Severe reactions can lead to anaphylactic shock, a life-threatening series of symptoms including swelling of the throat and difficulty breathing. Persons who develop an allergy to bee stings should carry prescription bee sting kits to counteract the reaction to bee venom.

Its starting position is that we will need not just 100Mbps of bandwidth, but 1Gbps and its specific goals are to have, within five years, 60 demonstrable next generation applications and 200 community test beds. Progress to date is encouraging. After just one year or existence it will demonstrate the first 20 of these applications at its Applications Summit in Chicago in June.
A presentation on US Ignite by its founder and CTO, Glenn Ricart, was for me one of the highlights of a two-day conference in California organised by NetEvents to mark the 40th anniversary of the invention of Ethernet (You can view all the presentations online here. The historical ones in particular are fascinating).
In other words, the goals of US Ignite extend beyond simply helping to create applications that will consume bandwidth. They embrace other emerging concepts that Ricart sees are presently lacking compelling applications. In particular software defined networking (SDN), virtualisation and one that was new to me: local cloud computing. He argues that local cloud computing will be essential to overcome the latency that is unavoidable when centralised databases are accesses over long distances.
Delivering the keynote speech at NetEvents Ethernet Innovation conference, Ricart said: "We have three goals at US Ignite. The first is to create 60 compelling, transformative applications based on things you couldn't do today, based on new technologies, things that you've been hearing about and will hear about today: software defined networking, local cloud computing, taking gigabit to the end-user, reducing latency, things that are going to change the way the internet works today.
"Second, that we get 200 community test beds, 200 communities, who are eager and willing to adopt these new technologies and their applications. And third, to coordinate best practices among these communities, among the industry partners, and to make sure that government, industry and communities are working together to make this goal happen."

1 (14 ounce) can
artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
sour cream
hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 teaspoon
curry powder, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Delicious, but lots more curry puts it over the top and just for a little jolt, a sprinkle or two of red pepper and a dash of onion salt...
This has great potential but needs more curry powder and either some finely chopped onion or onion powder. (or both) I used a bag of frozen artichoke hearts that I steamed and cooled. Some finely chopped chives or green onions would add a lot and be a very nice garnish to brighten up this dish.
7 Ratings
Easy and quick to make. I love artichoke so was nice to eat them in a different way.
I quite enjoyed this!!I love curry powder so I used lots..I used it as a spread on 10 grain bread..I didn't refrigerate it cause I ate it all LOL..**Make sure U drain the artichokes really well.
Quick, tasty and easy to prep. You can cut the cholesterol level by substituting soy-based mayonnaise (and less of it) for the mayo and sour cream. Great on toast.
I just didn't like the combination. Sorry!
I just tried this, and loved it! I added an extra egg, a little more curry powder and just a dash of onion powder, and let it chill in the fridge for several hours. Definitely a change-up on my egg salad that I will make again!

Facebook Ordered To End Its Real Name Policy In Germany 471 471
An anonymous reader writes with a blow to Facebook's policy banning accounts under pseudonyms. From the article: "A German privacy regulator ordered Facebook to stop enforcing its real name policy because it violates a German law that gives users the right to use nicknames online. 'We believe the orders are without merit, a waste of German taxpayers' money and we will fight it vigorously,' a Facebook spokeswoman said in an emailed statement."

Transforming the Journey:
Mentoring Lives Through Magic and Myth
Mentoring Environments
Worthy Dreams
The Dream, we learn from Daniel Levinson's work,36 forms the foundation for building life's structures. A worthy Dream constitutes "a quality of vision . . . an imagined possibility that orients meaning, purpose, and aspiration."37 Parks speaks of this as "a relational sensibility in which I recognize that what I do with my time, talents, and treasure is most meaningfully conceived not as a matter of personal passion and preference but in relationship to the whole of life. . . . Vocation is the place where the heart's deep gladness meets the world's deep hunger."38 Mentoring communities give rise to opportunities to explore such questions. From the perspective of the individual mentor, "The first business of a guide is to listen to the dreams of the pilgrim."39 How do they tell their story? From the lessons of great teachers we learn of the power of stories. Insights "always shine brightest for those who have them [and] truth is a word we give to a pattern that makes sense to us . . . . A good story is a kind of hologram of the life of an individual, a culture, or a whole species."40 "In those moments when the world falls apart, when we lose a sense of meaning, stories can reconnect things for us, place our fears in context, [and] help us see new forms of meaning."41 We must offer our own stories in community; we must be willing to tell them; and we must listen with the ear of our own hearts to those of others, especially our elders.

Brooke Smith Holds Eighth Place in Heptathlon after First Day at National Meet
OSHKOSH, WISC. -- Brooke Smith (Jr., Idleyld Park, OR/Glide HS) of Willamette University is in eighth place after the first day of competition in the heptathlon at the NCAA Division III Track & Field Championships. Her efforts on Thursday, May 22 have given her 2,723 points, an increase over her qualifying score which stood at 2,664 after one day.

'Portal 2′ as a cartoon
North Vancouver animator Chelsea crafted this lovely nod to "Portal 2″ — an in-game cutscene redone with A.I. wisenheimers Wheatley and GLaDOS as humanoid. Wheatley looks just like the character's voice actor Stephen Merchant, though GLaDOS favors more of a "TRON: Legacy" distillation of voice actress Ellen McLain. Very nice.

LINCOLN, CA - Lincoln High School was evacuated while police searched the campus after a bomb threat was called in to police.
Lincoln Police Department spokesperson Jill Thompson said dispatch took a call at 11:30 a.m. that a bomb would go off at the school at noon.
There was no explosion but police had to make sure the campus at 790 J Street was safe for students and staff to return. Students were initially told to go to the football field but were then released for the day, Thompson said.
Police and fire personnel did not find anything suspicious on the campus and cleared it about 3 p.m., said Western Placer Unified School District Supt. Scott Leamon.

mySkin had the privilege of attending IBS and IECSC (International Esthetics Cosmetics and Spa Conference) earlier this month. Over 53,000 salon owners, hair stylists, makeup and nail artists, skin care and beauty entrepreneurs, students, teachers and other industry professionals witnessed trends and newness before appearing in retail boutiques, online and in the press. What a sight to see! It was amazing to partake in the magic behind this monumental and influential occasion. Your colleagues, favorite chef, TV personality and neighbor perform a daily skin regimen with brands both domestic and global. What girl wouldn't love to meet the people behind the scenes and preview the next best thing!
Educational classes, hair and makeup technique performances, hair cutting competitions in addition to product and service providers took over the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center for three days. Chilly and rainy spring weather gave me the flu, so I waited till Monday to explore. By 8:00am tons of taxi cabs produced traffic from dropping exhibitors and participants off at the 11th Avenue entrance. Once inside, I obtained the press badge plus a fancy color coded wristband and went to work.
I attended these exciting classes:
IECSC Courses
Using Social Media to Build Community and Increase Revenue
Newest Trends in Natural Skin Care – Don't Be Left Behind
Marketing Brand You
Oxidants, Antioxidants, and Skin Aging: Separating Fact from Fiction
The Organic Way: Treating Acne, Rosacea and Eczema with Natural Ingredients
Cutting Edge Holistic Health and Beauty
IBS Courses
The Business of Beauty
Celebrity Red Carpet Hair
The Art of Nails
Who's Afraid of Those Big, Bold Brows
The Flawless Bride
The Ideal Client
Each session had wonderful participation with learnings galore. There was immense liveliness at almost every booth. The shows were full of spectators and one exhibitor even had a Britney Spears impersonator, who danced and sang Monday evening.
This was a great platform to find familiar faces of bloggers, beauty mavens and other social networkers.
I got a few samples, was almost recruited to be a hair model, purchased items at discounted prices and received beauty services for free!
Check out all the action in pictures on Facebook and invite mySkin to the next beauty and skin care affair!

I've using SC more and more. Two suggestions.
1. Add "Sendto FTP" with preset FTP settings.
2. In the object capture, it'd be nice to be able to pick out individual pictures on a website.
Maybe a stand-alone tool for the above?
Right now I use a cool little tool to send stuff to my ftp sites.
It works inside the file panel in SC. That panel is one of my favorite features.
Have fun!

The parade of horrible guitar world issues has made me regret renewing my subscription. I probably won't be a subscriber again. Same old one sided stories about who or what is the best, or what ever seems to be what the editor or who ever flunked out of journalism school writes about. The mag. is getting stale and predictable with every issue. I don't even look forward to getting the mag. anymore, the fact that i get my mag. almost 2 weeks after it hits the news stand is another issue. I feel like i keep reading the same mag. i first got 3 years ago.

Did Chris Gill also illustrate this gear review? This is a GUITAR magazine, so whoever did the illustrations should be fired. It states that the compensated nut insures dead-accurate intonation, but the arrow point to the tailpiece. Someone needs to tell the idiot that is responsible for this mistake that the nut is on the other end. I'd expect this if the magazine was new or something, but it's GUITAR WORLD. Sad to see that no one caught this.

Why isn't there a locavore movement for fish?
Thanks to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, one is about to start. The Institute is working hard to spread the word about lesser-known species, including plentiful and appetizing fish that have been ignored by fishermen because of a complete lack of demand from customers.
The GMRI is working with chefs to put breeds like Redfish and Atlantic Mackerel into their daily specials rotation. By seeing the fish so prominently on menus, the Institute is hoping customers will more readily accept the fish and create a market where one lacks.
Supporting more sustainable fishing practices just by ordering the special? Sounds delicious to us.

Lawmakers to take up taxes, death, marijuanaBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | January 02,2013MONTPELIER Lawmakers will return to Montpelier a bit later than usual this year but are expected to face a full agenda including projected shortfalls in the general and transportation funds, as well as social issues ranging from physician-assisted death to decriminalization of marijuana.
Lawmakers usually start their sessions a few days after New Years, but the 2013 calendar, combined with a state law saying they start on the first Wednesday after the first Monday in January, will push this years start to Jan. 9.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and the leaders of the House and Senate have been saying they dont want to raise taxes. Shumlin focuses his negative answers to that question to broad-based taxes, including those on income, sales, meals and lodging. House Speaker Shap Smith said he would consider tax increases only after scouring the budget for possible cuts or funding shifts to make up a general fund budget shortfall projected at $50 million to $70 million.
The picture is even bleaker in the transportation fund, where a special study committee reported recently the state is expected to run $250 million short a year for the next several years. Lawmakers are expected to be considering options including increasing Vermonts 20-cents-a-gallon gasoline tax and a new tax based on miles traveled instead of vehicle value.
One area in which lawmakers wont be asked to take definitive action is in the states ongoing push to create a single-payer health care system by 2017. When they passed a law putting Vermont on that path in 2011, they had expected to see a funding proposal during the 2013 session. Now thats seen as unlikely.
Now administration officials say they want to focus first on setting up the health care exchange called for by 2014 under the federal Affordable Care Act. The Vermont plan is to use the exchange later as a springboard to single payer. Robin Lunge, director of health care reform for the administration, said its best to tackle one thing at a time.
I dont think you can talk about Thanksgiving and Christmas at the same time and have people understand whether theyre eating or opening presents, she said.
Two social issues that have been debated in recent years are expected to reappear on legislative calendars in 2013.
Shumlin said during his campaign that he wants to see Vermont switch from criminal penalties for possession of even small amounts of marijuana to civil fines, akin to a traffic ticket. He argues that young Vermonters shouldnt face a lifelong criminal record for dabbling with marijuana.
Smith has been a stumbling block in the past, saying he worries about the message that softening the states anti-marijuana stance would send to young people. But he said in an interview that he would not try to block the issue from coming to the House floor for a debate.
The other recurring issue Shumlin said he hopes will pass this year is a law that would allow doctors under certain conditions to help terminally ill patients end their lives.
Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell, D-Windsor, said he continues to take a dim view of that idea, both because of his religious convictions hes Roman Catholic and because he believes it will get the government too involved in difficult decisions better left to physicians, patients and families.
The bill has far-reaching implications in the area of doctor-patient relationships, he said.
Both Campbell and Smith said theyre interested in but have yet to define in concrete terms legislation that would ease the path from school to work. They said many Vermont employers are looking to hire people but cant find employees in the state with the technical skills they need.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The state Public Service Board on Friday announced it would fine Vermont Gas Systems...

I had read this article a few days back. I am kind of puzzled. I was under the impression that under the US- wild bird conservation act 1992 , no wild parrots can be legally imported into the USA , irrespective of how rare or common they are.
Then what is so special about this new amendment, since these 12 species are already protected. It is also true that captive bred specimens are legally allowed to be traded, even earlier.
I hope this means that captive bred specimens cannot be traded as pets but only traded for conservation purposes -i.e mostly to good zoos.
Can some one shed some light on this?

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Junior goalkeeper Kristen Winters has been named the Mountain West Conference Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week. This is her first weekly honor of the season and the second of her career.
Winters, a Lakewood, Colo., native, tallied two shutouts last weekend, leading the Lobos to a 1-3-1 record in conference play. In 207 minutes of action she had 10 saves while facing 28 shots, 14 of which were on goal. In UNM's 1-0 overtime win against UNLV, Winters saved five shots, while holding Anni Magliulo (tied for MWC lead in points and goals) to no goals for the match. She also had five saves in New Mexico's 0-0 double overtime tie with San Diego State, including a stop on a goal attempt in the final minute of regulation and diving save in the final seconds of the first overtime. On the season, Winters has 92 saves and five shutouts in 1,445 minutes in goal.
Winter's and the rest of the Lobos head to Colorado Springs, Colo. for their final weekend of regular season action. New Mexico ends conference play Friday against Air Force and finishes the season on Sunday against Michigan State.

Meet Gisele Bundchen's 2-Month-Old Daughter, Vivian Lake Brady! (PHOTO)
Look at the little princess!
Today, supermodel Gisele Bundchen shared this photo of Vivian Lake — her daughter with Tom Brady — who was born on December 5. "Love is everything!!!" Gisele wrote with the Facebook post. "Happy friday, much love to all."
Tom recently told the Boston Herald he'd rather his daughter be an athlete like him, rather than a model like Mom. He also told People it's great that his two sons (one with Gisele, one with ex Bridget Moynahan) will have a girl in the house to help them understand what makes women tick. Good luck on that one!

General ergonomics information is provided to help MSU employees make computer workstation changes or adjustments in order to improve comfort and reduce the chance of occupational injury.
Use the navigation links at left to learn more about a specific ergonomics-related topic.
What is ergonomics?
Ergonomics is the study of how we work. By studying work methods used by individuals we can improve the design and function of tools and objects that are used by the worker. In addition to evaluation of tools and objects the worker can be observed interacting in the work environment in relation to reaching or bending during the workday. Poor postures or extended reaching can be reduced or eliminated.
Good ergonomically designed workstations can help to prevent cumulative trauma disorders (CTD's). Examples of CTD's are: carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, bursitis. Many CTD's can be prevented by making a few simple and inexpensive changes in equipment used for computing and the initiation of stretching and strengthening exercises the workers can easily perform during the workday.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the Fight for Equal Rights
By Kyle Leslie
On January 20 1869, Elizabeth Cady Stanton became the first women to testify before Congress. Her vision of women's rights established a broader political philosophy of social justice beyond women's suffrage that continues to inspire women's activism today.
UMBC professor Dr. Kate Drabinski, who also serves at the Director of the "Women Involved in Learning and Leadership" program, reflects on feminist activism, then and now.

It was a good time, so good in fact that we had trouble reeling ourselves in to finish in time. But we hit on all sorts of subjects, including a look at the reputations in Wrath and what their best rewards are (the Oracles' Mysterious Egg is great), and we even got a short chat in about whether there's still a tanking shortage or not (the good news: there mostly isn't).

Update: Young (ankle) will return after a seven-game absence due to a left ankle sprain but come off the bench Wednesday versus Miami, PhillyBurbs.com reports.
Recommendation: Damien Wilkins will again start at shooting guard, with Young spelling him from time to time. It's unclear if Young will garner his normal 25.5 minutes per outing, but Wednesday marks his first game since Feb. 28, meaning it is unlikely to occur.
