The mac 'n cheese is better than s'mac, and the broccoli is just perfectly crispy tender and garlicky. The had turnips today which were surprisingly tasty. The restaurant itself is nothing special, so take out is the way to go.,

Just moved here from the south. Got the green beans, sweet potatoes, and the mac n cheese. Waaaay too healthy to be southern. The mac n cheese was the best. Otherwise I'd say this was "ok." BIG negative: they serve NO bread! All in all, it was ok. Probably wouldn't eat here again.

Initially I was somewhat put off by the simple presentation on the food at Mama's, its laid out in several trays on a countertop and left at room temperature. You then point to whatever you want and the personel (usually some 18-20something year-old hipster) digs in and slams down a dollop of what youve asked for with a gusto like I've never seen. However, as soon as I started to chow down on the spinach or better yet the mac&cheese, all I could think of was getting my next fix. If the presentantion gets it to taste like that, well then give me another dollop!

Mama's is great. If you get takeout you will definitely have leftovers. Homestyle cooking at its finest.

I ordered takeout from Mama's after reading the great reviews, but the food quality was pretty low. The food was either too salty (meat loaf) or too bland (fried chicken), too cooked (carrots) or too undercooked (beans). Maybe they had a chef in training today.

I've had many good Mama's experiences. The food is delicious, especially the grilled chicken, mac n cheese, and sweet potatoes.Save room for dessert--the cobbler is f'in GREAT. Tasty, home-cooked meals WOO.

I've been a fan of Mama's for three years now and they never disappoint. The mashed potatoes and green beans are so good I haven't gotten around to trying anything else. The portions are generous enough to make two meals, so the prices are pretty darn good. My only regret is that the Mama's on Sullivan St. closed. Luckily, they deliver, so I can still get a Mama's fix. Thank God, cause I'm not sure I could live without it... Oh, and I've always found the service to be great.

50 Lynwood Eighth Graders to Visit Pomona College Mentors on Campus
Fifty Lynwood Middle School students will visit Pomona College in Claremont, on Thursday, March 25, to meet their college pen pals, talk about college and middle school life, and explore the college campus. Other events include a scavenger hunt and painting a mural on a college wall dedicated to student art and communication.
Inspired by Teach for America, Pomona College senior Jessica Gale started the Pomona College Pen Pal Mentoring Program in fall 2002 as a way for college students to learn about and gain experience in city schools, prior to their own graduation. She wanted the program to allow students to have a big impact but it also needed a time commitment that would fit into students' busy schedules.
By several measures, the project has met those goals. In its first year, approximately 100 sixth-graders and a like number of college students exchanged almost 1000 letters. This year, approximately 50 Lynwood eighth-graders and their mentors will have exchanged approximately 300 letters. The program shifted to follow its Lynwood connection with teacher Amelia Matera, who was assigned to eighth-graders this year.
The program has been educational for both sides. "Pomona students," explains Gale, "get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at what is going on in the Los Angeles public education system. When school reform measures, like the midyear reassignment of Ms. Matera's students, disrupted our regular letter delivery schedule, Pomona students began asking their pen pals questions like, 'What is going on at Lynwood Middle School?' Likewise, Lynwood students suddenly wanted to know everything there is to know about college.
At Lynwood Middle School, over 40% of the students' parents lack a high school diploma and less than 10% have graduated from college. The vast majority of Ms. Matera's students had never cultivated a close relationship with someone who had attended college, let alone considered a college education within their reach.
A recent letter from Gale's pen pal illuminated the achievement gap between high and low-income students. "In my last letter to her," explains Gale, "I wrote about how much I like to read. In this one, she told me that she had just gotten her library card, and she's reading Charlotte's Web. I was really excited that she's reading more, but it hit me that I had a library card before I could read, and I read Charlotte's Web in 3rd grade. I also thought it was interesting that at a recent Pomona event where people read bedtime story to college students, our College President brought Charlotte's Web."
Last year's sixth-grade participants were just as responsive, notes Gale. "In the first letter on both ends, the students filled out a survey of fun questions. One of them was 'If you could take a trip around the world, who would you take and why?' I was surprised by how many sixth-graders said they would take their Pomona pen pal, even though they had only exchanged one letter. Right away, I could see that these kids were reaching out to form these relationships, fascinated by the college experience."
In Lynwood, teacher Matera created a special "College Corner" in her classroom and reserved time after each letter delivery to address such pressing questions as: "Ms. Matera, what is a Bachelor's degree?"; "Ms. Matera, what's a major?"; and most importantly, "Ms. Matera, can I go to college too?"
The Lynwood students will be on Pomona's campus from 9:45 a.m. until 2 p.m. The schedule of the day's events is: 10-10:30 welcome, 10:30-11:30 – photo scavenger hunt/ tour of campus; 11:30-12:15 – lunch in Frary Dining Hall; and 12:15-1:45 - painting Walker Wall and small group time.
Pomona College, one of the nation's premier liberal arts colleges, offers a comprehensive program in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Founded in 1887, its hallmarks include small classes, close relationships between students and faculty, and a range of opportunities for student research.

Recipe by Kimber
"Simple to prepare and simply delicious to eat!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
ground pork sausage
eggs, beaten
1 (15 ounce) can
cream-style corn
1 cup
soft bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/3 cup
cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley
This recipe turned out fantastic! I didn't have any bread (for the crumbs) so I used an english muffin. It worked great. Also didn't have crackers so I used the second english muffin crumbled on top with a little melted butter drizzled on top.
Absolutely yummy! A definite keeper at my house especially since it was so forgiving of my lack of all the 'correct' ingredients.
This did not turn out very well, my husband wanted to know what it was he thought it was fish. It was very bland and had a strange flavor.
13 Ratings
This turned out very good, the whole family loved it! I only got one complaint and that was to much pepper. I will definitly make this again with just a little less pepper. Loved it!
I used cut up pieces of bratwurst instead of ground sausage and cornbread craker crumbs. The casserole was Yummy and very filling. This recipe is a keeper.
Idabelle's recipe: Brown 1 lb sausage, diced onion. Remove from heat. Add 1 can cream corn, 1 C cubed cheddar or colby cheese, 4 eggs, 1 C crushed crackers (or bread crumbs or english muffins), 1/4 t pepper. Bake all together for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Top with crumbled potato chips. Bake another 5 minutes.
I made this for a breakfast casserole at a MOPS meeting. I guess it didn't look appetizing, because it wasn't even half gone. I love corn pudding and loved the idea of adding meat to make it a meal but as is the sausage is all I tasted. It's a lot of meat and if I make it again I think it needs more eggs, some cheese and maybe an onion and peppers cooked with the meat and some spices but then that's a whole other recipe right?
I love corn casserole and this recipe put a new twist to it. I put this together the night before and popped it in the oven when I got home from work.
Yummy...easily doubles for larger crowds!

"The security threat level in Yemen is extremely high due to terrorist activities and civil unrest," the State Department said in its advisory. "There is ongoing civil unrest throughout the country and large-scale protests in major cities," while adding that clashes in the capital, Sanaa "may escalate without notice."
From London on Wednesday, President Obama called on Saleh to "move immediately" to implement an agreement negotiated with other Middle Eastern countries for Saleh to give up power, which Saleh has refused to do three times after making verbal commitments to step down, according to the AP.

MacSams Tyres Targets £500,000 in Sales by End of Year One
Contact Information
Following their launch several weeks ago, MacSams Tyres are keen to report positive sales and initial customer feedback.
Online PR News – 08-December-2009 – – Discounted tyres website MacSams Tyres has reported positive results both on sales and customer feedback since launching just a few weeks ago. The website was officially launched at the start of November and although MacSams Tyres have only been trading for several weeks, a goal of half a million in sales is being targeted for the end of year one.
The goal is based on the initial performance and based over a twelve month period. Part of the confident target is to double the number of fitting centre locations that MacSams are partnered with, by the end of year one. This will bring the total number of tyre fitting centres working with MacSams Tyres to 800.
Additional plans include the introduction of a UK wide mobile tyre fitting service, again anticipated for the end of the first year. While initial results have been better than expected, owner Greg Allison is keen to highlight that MacSams Tyres are still learning.
"The results so far have been really positive and we have exceeded our own expectations on every level. It is very early days however and we are still learning the market so I believe we can improve our service even further. The volume of referral business we have had since our launch has been phenomenal for such a short space of time and this will only increase as word spreads. In fact some customers have been reporting that we have saved them as much as £170 versus the competition."
MacSams Tyres is Greg Allison's second online venture. Garages4You, his first business and a business which he is still deeply involved with, has been of great benefit in getting MacSams Tyres profitable so quickly.
Garages4You provides UK drivers with discount MOT deals throughout the UK, when booked through the Garages4You website. Users of the service can then visit a local MOT testing station which Garages4You have partnered with at a discounted rate exclusive to Garages4You users. The website is also helped by its strong community of MOT enthusiasts who are encouraged to review each garage and MOT testing station they use in order to help other drivers make a better and more informed decision.
Recently Garages4You launched their discounted MOT service in London as well as a series of MOT-only garages which can be booked through the Garages4You website.
MacSams Tyres was founded from feedback and suggestions from within the Garages4You community. Seeing a demand for another discounted tyres retailer, Greg Allison saw his opportunity to launch the MacSams Tyres website.
Plans for other garage related websites are in the pipeline; however these will not be announced until 2010.

Many of the projects include multiple PC and Mac downloads for various renditions and experiments, from an experimental early first-person wind control tool for Fatale to special "Adam and Eve" character models for Quake. The bundle even features multiple demos and alpha versions of the unreleased game that started Tale of Tales, 8.
Those looking to acquire the Experiments and Prototypes bundle can set their own price for it, though the whole pack carries a minimum price of $5 and a suggested price of $15. Tale of Tales stresses that the bundle is in limited order, as the offer is available until December 25 and "contains many items that have never been released before and will not be available later."
December, 19th 2013
Tale of Tales is 10 years old today. To celebrate the occasion, directors Auria Harvey & Michael Samyn are releasing a bundle with experiments and prototypes created over the past decade. The bundle is available from now until Christmas and contains many items that have never been released before and will not be available later. Customers can pay what they wish for this bundle, with a minimum of $5 USD and a suggested price of $15 USD.
The Experiments & Prototypes bundle includes lesser known pieces such as the epic Godlove Museum that tells the story of how the pair met in a biblical metaphor, Min & Meer that illustrates songs of Gerry De Mol (composer on The Endless Forest, The Graveyard and Fatale) and Quake 3 Arena avatar models based on scans of the naked bodies of the authors. Also included are several prototypes of Tale of Tales' life-long work on 8, the so far unpublished predecessor to their successful horror tale The Path, early versions of which, including the demo of The Path that was on display at the GDC in 2008 when the game was a finalist in the IGF, and a 3D screensaver with Ophelia as its theme originally made for the National Bank of Belgium but never before released until today. Other highlights include prototypes from collaborations with Ceremony of Innocence designer Alex Mayhew (Lost Memories), experiments with the Brussels FoAM collective to create plant-like games (groWorld), a humorously romantic vignette created for the notgames.org forum contest The Bridge and a mesmerizing prototype from the Flower/Lock research that the new Luxuria Superbia was based on (The Cosmos and the Cave).
Additionally, Tale of Tales' latest release, Luxuria Superbia, is on sale on the Humble Bundle store for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Android:
And, only today, free to download for iOS from the App Store:
Ironically, but in keeping with the pair's fondness for cyberspace, Michael and Auriea are spending today apart, the latter drawing in the Louvre in Paris while the former mans the ship at home in Ghent, Belgium. But this is just silence before the storm as the couple is preparing for a very involved new project next year. All proceeds of the bundle sale go directly to the production of this project that will be announced in February.

For Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, her party's national convention might look like a bully pulpit to advance her own political career.
But the 45-year-old South Florida lawmaker must be careful not to go overboard—or even lean too close to that edge. She has been the subject of persistent rumblings in recent months that some Democrats have grown weary of her heavy-handed tone, complaining that she is too self-focused and ambitious.
"She looks out for No. 1—herself," one top Democratic strategist asserts.
Talk of tensions, even with the White House, has somewhat subsided from earlier this year, but it seems settled as she enters the convention that Wasserman Schultz will not serve another term as head of the DNC—whether or not she helps President Obama win a second term.
Wasserman Schultz herself appears ready to move on. She will be seen occasionally behind the speaker's rostrum at the convention, and she will also be a main presence at numerous caucus meetings, state delegation breakfasts, and on national TV as a top party spokeswoman. However, against this backdrop, she has already begun to reach out to colleagues for support in a potential bid for a top House leadership post next year, according to some House colleagues and top staffers.
Although Wasserman Schultz is not the chamber's only Democrat engaging in such exploratory activity, she has a penchant for attracting attention. This week, she will likely try to tamp down any discussion about her own future. But some Democrats see her gunning for the highest party post if House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, 72, opts for retirement—a decision that the California Democrat may base on how well her party performs in the congressional elections.
For now, Wasserman Schultz insists that her focus is on serving her South Florida constituents and winning reelection to her House seat (she faces a second straight challenge from Republican Karen Harrington). She also pledges to concentrate "on helping President Obama and Democrats up and down the ticket get elected in November."
A native New Yorker, Wasserman Schultz in 2004 became the first Jewish woman ever elected to a congressional seat from Florida. When she was tapped last year to lead the Democratic National Committee, it seemed like the latest milestone for a star destined to rise even higher. The mother of three is a telegenic, quick-witted breast-cancer survivor who is popular with women and Jewish voters.
But a top party strategist confirms, on condition of anonymity, the talk of a falling-out with the Obama team (although relations are said to be on the mend). Complaints ranged from perceptions of self-aggrandizement to annoyance over misstatements that turned into GOP talking points. (She compared voter-ID laws to Jim Crow.)
One House Democrat and admirer, however, says that Wasserman Schultz's rise continues to be "meteoric" in his eyes and has only been strengthened by her hard work at the DNC; he declined to be named. Since assuming the remainder of Tim Kaine's chairmanship, she has attended hundreds of events in most states. She has also made fundraising appearances for House and Senate campaigns, placed robo-calls, and sent out e-mail messages. Those are chits Wasserman Schultz can call in, if needed, in a bid for a House leadership post. Another House Democrat suggested that certain members might even prefer aggressive leaders with a degree of independence from the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.
But at this week's convention, where Democratic unity will be tightly scripted, neither Wasserman Schultz nor the White House will be looking for displays of independence.

Northridge, Calif. – Cal State Northridge returns to Matador Pool on Tuesday to face Marist College and Concordia (Irvine) in non-league women's water polo matches.
The Matadors will face Marist at 2:00 pm, and Concordia at 7:00 pm.
Marist, from Poughkeepsie, New York, is currently on a nine-game road trip to the West Coast. The Red Foxes are currently 4-2 on the road trip, but have lost their last two games to UC Santa Barbara (3/17/13, 5-12) and Cal State Bakersfield (3/17/13, 5-10).
Overall, Marist is 13-7.
Cal State Northridge and Concordia have met once this season with the Matadors recording a 15-7 decision at the Cal Baptist Invitational (2/2/13). Marisa Young led the Matadors with four goals while Jenny Jamison and Celena Photopulos each scored three goals.
Cal State Northridge is 17-8.
Lindsy Nelson leads the team with 58 goals. The 58 goals are tenth-best for a single season in school history. Marisa Young has collected 40 goals.
Kiernan Davis has 209 saves (eighth-best for a single season in CSUN history) including a career-high 18 saves last weekend in a 8-7 CSUN victory over 11th-ranked Indiana.

We Told You So: Court Documents Show 2004 Elections Was Hacked
New Court Filing Reveals How the 2004 Ohio Presidential Election Was Hacked
A new filing in the King Lincoln Bronzeville v. Blackwell case includes a copy of the Ohio Secretary of State election production system configuration that was in use in Ohio's 2004 presidential election when there was a sudden and unexpected shift in votes for George W. Bush.
The filing also includes the revealing deposition of the late Michael Connell. Connell served as the IT guru for the Bush family and Karl Rove. Connell ran the private IT firm GovTech that created the controversial system that transferred Ohio's vote count late on election night 2004 to a partisan Republican server site in Chattanooga, Tennessee owned by SmarTech. That is when the vote shift happened, not predicted by the exit polls, that led to Bush's unexpected victory. Connell died a month and a half after giving this deposition in a suspicious small plane crash. (more…)
Spineless: Sorry Elizabeth, Wall Street Said No
So much for the meritocracy. Despite an elite education, effusive charm and brilliant wit, Barack Obama, like Bill Clinton before him, has ended up betraying his humble origins by abjectly serving the most rapacious variant of Wall Street greed. They both talk a good progressive game, but when push comes to shove—meaning when the banking lobby weighs in—big money talks and the best and the brightest fold.
Obama's refusal to take the fight to Senate Republicans by nominating Warren should be taken as the vital measure of the man. This gutless decision comes after the president populated his administration with the very people who created the financial meltdown. (more …)

The Cult That Is Destroying America: False Centrism, Fake Balance
The Cult That Is Destroying America
Watching our system deal with the debt ceiling crisis — a wholly self-inflicted crisis, which may nonetheless have disastrous consequences — it's increasingly obvious that what we're looking at is the destructive influence of a cult that has really poisoned our political system. And no, I don't mean the fanaticism of the right. Well, OK, that too. But my feeling about those people is that they are what they are; you might as well denounce wolves for being carnivores. Crazy is what they do and what they are.
No, the cult that I see as reflecting a true moral failure is the cult of balance, of centrism.
Think about what's happening right now. We have a crisis in which the right is making insane demands, while the president and Democrats in Congress are bending over backward to be accommodating — offering plans that are all spending cuts and no taxes, plans that are far to the right of public opinion. So what do most news reports say? They portray it as a situation in which both sides are equally partisan, equally intransigent — because news reports always do that. And we have influential pundits calling out for a new centrist party, a new centrist president, to get us away from the evils of partisanship. (more…)
Unbelievable: Black Student Denied Valedictorian Due to Race, Lawsuit Says
LITTLE ROCK, Ark (Reuters) – A black high school valedictorian says in a federal lawsuit that her school discriminated against her when they made her share the stage with a white "co-valedictorian" who had a lower grade point average. School officials told Kymberly Wimberly, 18, that it was because the other student had more class credits, according to the lawsuit. School officials have said publicly that the valedictorians are chosen based on both grades and difficulty of course work. Wimberly, who said she was the first black valedictorian in more than 20 years at the tiny high school, believes it was racial.
"I'm trying to prevent students under me from having to go through the same thing," Wimberly told Reuters. "I think it was racially motivated. Everyone knew I had the highest grade point." Repeated attempts by Reuters on Wednesday to contact school officials and board members were unsuccessful. A day after learning that she would be the valedictorian of the 2011 graduating class at McGehee Secondary School, she was told that she would have to share the honor with a white, female student.

A Taste of Justice: Judge Tries to Soften Obscene Jaywalking Verdict
Georgia mom Raquel Nelson was spared prison today in the sentencing phase of the jaywalking conviction she faced after her son was killed in a hit-and-run. Nelson could have ended up spending more time in jail than the man who ran over her four-year-old son and sped off after a jury convicted her of jaywalking. "I'm walking out of here. I don't feel like I can be more satisfied," she said, according to CBS News. "I'm ready to go home."
A Pivotal Moment: A Message from Bernie Sanders
A Pivotal Moment in American History
With one week to go before an Aug. 2 deadline for raising the nation's debt limit, the stakes are enormous. Some in Congress continue to press for steep cuts in programs for working families. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid remain in jeopardy. Funds for education, child care, nutrition, affordable housing, environmental protection and energy independence also are at stake. When Republican leaders talk about $3 trillion or $4 trillion in spending cuts over the next 10 years, with no new taxes on the wealthy and large corporations, please understand what they mean.
SOCIAL SECURITY: The average Social Security recipient who retires at age 65 would get $560 less a year at age 75, under a proposal to change the formula which determines cost-of-living adjustments. The same retiree would get $1,000 less a year at age 85 than under current law. Another provision pushed by House Republicans would require that Social Security always be solvent for 75 years, an avenue to even larger cuts in benefits. All of this would take place despite the fact that Social Security has not contributed one penny to the deficit and has a $2.6 trillion surplus. (more…)

Housing problem serious
At least eight people were hurt Thursday morning while scrambling to line up for a limited number of Dallas County rental vouchers — after waiting for hours in their cars. People lined up Thursday morning to apply for Dallas County Section 8 housing vouchers. Dallas County sheriff's spokesman Kim Leach estimated the crowd at about 5,000. The office at the Jesse Owens Memorial Complex wasn't supposed to open until 8 a.m., but some applicants started lining up at 10 o'clock Wednesday night. Police kept people off school district property until the gates opened at 6 a.m. That resulted in a long string of cars lined up on the streets." – Dalls

The Situation Opens Up About Rehab
"It Feels Like You're Not Gonna Recover," The Jersey Shore Star Tells MTV…
The Situation has spoken out about his stint in rehab for the first time.
The 'Jersey Shore star, who recently entered the facility to deal with a prescription-medication addiction, told MTV News,
"It's not a pleasurable experience at all.
"In the beginning, for sure, when I was [at the facility] in Utah, I'd wake up and just be extremely disappointed with myself. Like, 'I can't believe I got here. How did I get here?'
"I'm not gonna lie, it feels like you're not gonna recover."
But now, two months after leaving treatment, The Sitch insists he's finally in a "good place."
"Ever since I've been out, I'm not gonna lie ... it's not easy," he added.
"But at the same time, where I'm at right now, I'm at a good place."
And while many of his 'Jersey Shore' co-stars have spoken out in support of the 29-year-old during this difficult time, he revealed he's yet to fix his turbulent relationship with Snooki.
"We were close for a long time," he said. "I am going to say that I am upset that we're not as close as we are today. I care about the girl, for sure."
Don't miss Season 5 of 'Jersey Shore' tonight (May 23) @ 9.30pm on MTV!
Meanwhile, check out a sneak peek at all the drama to come in the video clip below…

Click Here to Register your choice of selecives.Course Description 2014-2015
Course Title: Sociology of Medicine
Faculty: Van McCrary
Sociology is a social science that uses systematic methods of qualitative and quantitative investigation, and critical analysis, to develop a body of knowledge about human social structure and activity, often with the goal of applying such knowledge to improve social welfare. This Selective will explore selected topics in sociology of medicine.
Course Title: The Ethics of Hope
Faculty: Stephen Post & Brooke Ellison
From the early 19th century American Codes of Medical Ethics have emphasized the physician's responsibility to sustain hope in patients. This is a perennial aspect of the "art of medicine." Thomas Percival famously described the physician as "minister of hope and comfort to the sick." Hope is variously defined, but seems to pertain to a confidence in future events and circumstances. What are the characteristics of hope? Is it different than optimism? What is it and how does it impact health, well-being, and even the will to live? How do patients gain, sustain, or lose hope? Is hope rooted in community, spirituality, evolved cognitive structures, environment, past experience, etc.? How should physicians cultivate hope in their patients? What is the relationship between hope and truth telling? How can hope be redirected effectively? Is there a biology of hope and of despair that impacts health outcomes?
Course Title:
9-11 Anatomy of a Healthcare Disaster
Faculty: Benjamin Luft
This course offers a multidisciplinary approach examining the environmental, medical, psychological, sociopolitical, and personal factors in treating patients with complex post-disaster cases, like the World Trade Center disaster responders. Students will understand how the 9-11 post-disaster environment contributed to the physical and emotional fragility of WTC responders, the approaches in treating WTC responders' physical and mental health illnesses, the legal and sociopolitical factors in providing care to WTC responders, and the personal and spiritual factors that shape the motivations and outlook of WTC responders. The course incorporates video clips of WTC responders' interviews taken from the World Trade Center Oral History Archive Project. These video clips aim to provide students with insight about the range of experiences WTC responders had during and after 9-11, and the importance of considering such experiences when treating complex post-disaster cases.
NB: This last class meeting is from 3 to 5PM
Course Title: Decision Making in the ICU
Faculty: Feroza Daroowalla
Description Decision Making in the ICU will be a seminar series for students who want to explore this topic through reading, discussion, class presentation and writing exercises. Topics include the use of critical care resources, setting goals of critical care intervention, communication about goals of care, and the costs of critical care. Appropriate for students interested in health care policy, critical care medicine (medical, surgical, pediatric, neurologic), geriatrics, end of life care, health care resource management.
Please see the syllabus for slightly different time frame – some sessions begin at 12:30 and some end at 3:30.
Course Title: Core Concepts in Geriatrics
Faculty: Lisa Strano-Paul and Peter D. Kuemmel
firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com
Course Meets from 3 to 5 PM
Americans are aging and the number of people over the age of 65 will double over the next 25 years. Future doctors will require an enhanced understanding of the special needs of this age group. This course will provide students with a broad introduction to the field of geriatrics.
This course meets in the 3 to 5 pm time block
Course Title:Health Care Economics
Faculty: Alan S. Cooper
This course will review the history of healthcare insurance in the United States, focusing on the problems of high costs and inadequate coverage. The course will then discuss how the new healthcare law addresses these problems, its prospects for success, and how the rapid changes may affect the medical student's career goals.
Course Title:Children and Ethics
Faculty: Kimberly Fenton, MD
Much of the discourse in contemporary medical ethics focuses on the relationship of mature and autonomous patients to their physicians. The world of children as patients is therefore a unique world since these youngest patients have limited ability for self-determination and limited legal status as minors. Those who specialize in the treatment of neonates, children, and adolescents find themselves in a ethically and legally complicated world in which the treatment of a patient as a person is a uniquely challenging ideal.
Course Title: Spirituality and Healthcare
Faculty: Michael Vetrano
Illness is a powerful spiritual experience for patients and their physicians and that both physicians and patients can experience spiritual growth in the partnership of healing. This selective will address some of the most important questions in spirituality and healing:
• How physicians can assess the spiritual resources of their patients.
• What do physicians need to know about theology and spirituality to effectively care for their patients?
• What role does the spirituality of the physician play in the healing of the patient?
• What spiritual skills can physicians use to speak more honestly with patients about death and dying?
Course Title: Hospice as Palliative Care
Faculty: Kathy Van Steen
This selective will present the role of hospice in the terminal care of the dying. As palliative care, hospice offers a method of care that is becoming more mainstream medicine, as it had been in the early days of medicine.
Course Title: Becoming a Better MD Through Poetry
Faculty: Maria Basile
By the study of poetry as it relates to the medical experience, we hope to uncover a closer type of critical reading (attention), an ability for a caregiver to understand and convey the needs and context of a patient (representation), and an appreciation of the common concerns of the healing professions and to explore the use of poetry by some physicians to inform their medical practice (affiliation).
Course Title: History of Medicine
Faculty: Carla Keirns
This course will explore how human health and medical practice have changed in the past two centuries in the United States, focusing on the emergence of some of the tools, technologies, and ideas that underlie contemporary medical practice.
Course Title: Implications of Antenatal Testing
Faculty: Christina Kocis email@example.com
The goal of this course is to familiarize the student with the common antenatal screening tests which are offered to prenatal patients and to identify their many implications for women and society. A field trip will be assigned for the purpose of observing an actual antenatal test including the patient/provider communication and interactions that result.
Course Title:Gender and Medicine
Faculty:Geri Galotti, MS4 firstname.lastname@example.com
Gender is a complex phenomenon that includes the characteristics, roles and responsibilities of individuals that are socially, culturally and historically determined. Our gender identity impacts our health and acts as a determinant of access and adherence to care, a notion recognized by leading health organizations such as the WHO, UN, and NIH. Yet medical literature often fails to appropriately address gender or relates inaccurate information through misuse of terminology. This course provides a foundation in gender studies with exploration of several topics that intersect modern medicine. Students will learn to develop a framework for the interplay between gender and health. This experience offers a unique gender perspective on patient care and serves to enhance the development of well-rounded physicians.

FIG. IA 25 DISPOSABLE MEDICAL ELECTRODE DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION ble between the skin area which is being monitored and the metallic contact element of the electrode so that a maximum electrical signal can be obtained for use in the monitoring equipment. An improtant further characteristic of such electrodes is that they be so designed as to minimize the discomfort which a patient will suffer, especially when such electrode may be required to be used over a prolonged period of time, sometimes for several days.
It is particularly desirable that such electrodes provide maximum signal strength with minimal discomfort for more sensitive patients, such as adults with sensitive skin and children or infants whose skin is apt to be more tender than that of adults. The comfort factor may be particularly important when used with extremely small infants, less than 30 days old, in the growing field of neo-natalogy.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART A conventionally structured electrode presently available for use in the medical field is a type which utilizes a conductive gel between the skin area which is being contacted and the metallic contact element of the electrode to which the monitoring circuit is connected. In such presently used electrodes the metal contact element is normally affixed to a rigid plastic base member of the electrode, the contact element being in the form of a snap fastener assembly having a first side to which a monitoring circuit is snap connected and a second oppositely disposed side which is in contact with a pad member made of an open cell plastic material permeated with a conductive gel. The pad is in turn in pressure contact with the skin, the conductive gel thereby assuring that a good conductive path is present from the skin to the metal contact element for the signal which is being monitored.
In such prior art electrodes the gel pad is freely nested in a recessed region of the electrode which is formed by a solid ridged portion of the rigid plastic body member, the outer surface of the'ridge coming into pressure contact with the skin adjacent the outer perimeterof the gel pad when the electrode is in use. The ridged body member containing the snap fastener contact element is attached to a circularly shaped open cell plastic foam material one side of which has an adhesive thereon so that the electrode can adhere to the skin. The protruding ridge is thereby between the open cell adhesive foam material and the open cell-gel pad foam material to form a barrier therebetween so as to prevent the conductive gel in the gel pad from being .2 absorbed'by and dispersed throughout the open cell adhesive foam portion of the overall electrode. Unfortunately, however, the presence of the ridge tends to cause excessive discomfort'to the patient on whom the electrode is being used since the ridge which digs into the skin of the patient can become extremely irritating.
Moreover, since the gel pad itself is held within the recessed portion of the electrode only by means of the surface tension created between the gel material and the surface of the solid ridged member of the electrode,
the gel pad can often fall out of its recessed nest during handling and must be replaced by hand or other means, all of which tends to cause the gel pad to become less sanitary in use than is desired.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the monitoring electrode of the invention the need for a ridged barrier between a conductor gel pad and an adhesive portion of the electrode is eliminated so that a relatively smooth surface is presented to the skin of the patient and any irritation and discomfort caused by the presence of a ridge is completely avoided. In the structure of the invention, the adhesive base member of the electrode to which a snap fastener contact element is attached is made of a plastic foam material having a closed cell configuration. A gel pad made of a plastic foam material having an open cell configuration is then adhered to the underside of the closed cell foam material opposite the underside of the snap fastener contact element.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention a thin vinyl plastic strip is adhered to the upper side of the closed cell body member to provide some rigidity thereto. Because of the closed cell nature of the adhesive base member of the electrode, substantially none of the conductive gel which is dispersed throughout the open cell gel pad can be absorbed by or dispersed within the closed cell material and the gel is adequately retained within the open cell gel pad during manufacture, shipment and use. Moreover, because no solid plastic ridged member is used, the surface of the electrode which comes into contact with the skin of the patient is essentially soft and relatively smooth with no protruding ridges so that it can be readily placed on the patients skin for good adherence without discomfort even with prolonged use.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention the lower surface of the contact element which is in contact with the gel pad may be coated with silver so that, in reacting with the gel substance a silver/silver chloride conductive coating is formed which enhances the signal carrying properties of the electrode.
The elimination of the need for a ridged barrier also permits the formation of a relatively smaller electrode than that of presently available electrodes and permits their use with regions of the body where the larger electrodes have not-been readily useable. A smaller size also makes the electrode more convenient for use with child and infant patients.
The invention is described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings wherein FIG. 1 shows a view in cross-section of a monitoring electrode of the prior art;
FIG. 1A shows a plan view of the electrode of FIG.
FIG. 2 shows a view in cross-section of a preferred embodiment of the electrode in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2A shows a plan view of the electrode of FIG.
FIG. 3 shows a view in cross-section of a portion of the electrode of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 shows a view in cross-section of a preferred embodiment for packaging one or more of the electrodes of FIG. 2.
FIG. 1 depicts a conventional monitoring electrode of the prior art which has found relatively widespread use in the medical field at the present time. As can be seen therein the electrode comprises a solid plastic ridged body member having an upper portion 11A and a lower portion 11B, each of a circular configuration, which portions each include flat body portions 12A and 128 respectively, and ridged portions 13A and 13B, respectively, forming the outer peripheries thereof. A contact element 14 is positioned within apertures at the centers of solid portions 11A and 118, the contact element being in the form of a conventional male snap fastener having a first upper portion 14A with a protruding snap at the center thereof and a lower portion 148 which nests within the upper portion so that the overall element can be attached to and retained in the solid ridged member. The snap fastener 14 provides a snap contact to a corresponding female snap fastener (not shown) which is in turn connected to an appropriate lead for connection to suitable monitoring equipment (also not shown). The upper and lower solid portions 11A and 118 may be made of any appropriately chosen plastic material and are arranged to enclose an adhesive pad member 16 also of substantially circular configuration, as shown. One side of foam pad 16 has a layer 17 of double faced adhesive material placed thereon and extending from ridge 138 to the periphery thereof so as to provide an adhesion surface which permits the electrode to be placed in an adhering manner on the skin of a patient. A circular pad 19 of foam plastic material is nested within the recess 18 formed by ridge 13B, pad 19 being substantially permeated with a conductive gel substance forming a gel pad for providing a good conductive path from the skin which contacts the outer exposed surface thereof and the lower portion 148 of contact element 14, which is in contact with the inner surface of gel pad 19. Gel pad 19 is retained within the recess 18 by the surface tension action of the gel on the underside of solid plastic portion 12B,
In the prior art structure shown both of the plastic pad materials forming the adhesive pad 16 and the gel pad 19 are made of an open cellular plastic foam material which is readily absorbent to liquids and gels which can thereby penetrate into and become dispersed throughout such materials. In order to permit dispersion of conductive gel throughout gel pad 19 without permitting a similar dispersionin the adhesive pad 16, the ridge 13B and body portion 128 form a barrier so that none of the gel in gel pad 19 comes into contact with the adhesive pad 16. Were the conductive gel to become dispersed throughout adhesive pad 16 as well as gel pad 19, the conductivity of the path through pad 19 would be greatly reduced and the effectiveness of the electrode would become diminished. Further, when the prior art electrode 10 is placed on the skin of a patient for any prolonged period of time, ridge 13B tends to dig into the skin and become so irritating that a high degree of discomfort may result, particularly with patients having relatively tender skin.
Moreover, when the electrode has been placed on the skin the presence of ridge 13B tends to cause the adhesive surfaces in the regions adjacent the ridges to be raised out of contact with the skin so that the area of adhesive contact with the skin is reduced. In order to assure that the surface area of adhesive contact is sufficient, the diameter of the overall electrode must be made relatively large and the electrode becomes less useful for some applications.
A preferred embodiment of the monitoring electrode of the invention is depicted in FIGS. 2 and 2A and shows the contrast between the structure thereof and that of the prior art electrode shown in FIGS. 1 and 1A.
As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 2A, the electrode 20 of the invention comprises an adhesive foam pad portion 21 which forms the main body of the electrode and has on one surface thereof a layer 22 of double-faced adhesive which effectively covers the entire surface. In a preferred embodiment adhesive foam pad 21 has a substantially circular configuration and at the central region of the surface 24 opposite to the adhesive surface thereof a paper thin circular piece 23 of vinyl plastic material is positioned. Vinyl piece 23 imparts a slightly greater degree of rigidity for the surface 24 of the electrode than to the adhesive surface thereof and, further, can be used as an appropriate label for identifying the electrode and the manufacturer thereof.
A snap fastener contact element 25 is machine fastened at the center of adhesive foam pad 21 as shown. After the fastening process the presence of fastener 25 forms slight depressions at both the upper and the lower surfaces of foam pad 21, as shown. The peripheral region of a gel pad 26 is caused to adhere to the adhesive surface of pad 21 so that the pad 26 is placed at a position opposite the lower contact surface 25A of contact element 25 as shown in enlarged detail in FIG. 3.
Adhesive foam pad 21 is made of a closed cell plastic material, such as a closed cell polyethylene or polyurethane plastic material, while gel pad 26 is made of an open cell material, such as polyurethane foam material. The use of a closed cell material for pad 21 effectively prevents any penetration through the pad 21 of any conductive gel which is present in gel pad 26 within which it is in contact. One such closed cell plastic successfully used in the electrode of the invention is a polyethylene plastic sold under the name Volara" by the Voltech Company of Lawrence, Massachusetts. One such open cell gel pad material which has been successfully used to provide the necessary gel dispersion action is a polyurethane foam material sold by Rogers Foam Company, Somerville, Massachusetts.
Further, the double sided adhesive layer 22 is selected so as to avoid causing any irritation to the skin, to which it adheres. One such adhesive which has been successfully used and which has been approved for such use by the Federal Drug Administration of the United States Government is identified as Adhesive No. 1524, made by 3M Company, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The cellular density of open cell material 26 is such as to be sufficiently dense to hold a conductive gel within the material and at the same time sufficiently porous to allow the gel to penetrate throughout the material so that a good electrical contact is made between the skin of the patient and the lower surface 25A of contact element 25. Conductive gels for this purpose are readily available to those in the art and any convenient gel such as that identified as Spectra 360 as sold by Parker Laboratories, lrvington, New Jersey, may be used in the electrode of the invention.
in order to enhance the conductive path from the skin to the contact element 25, the bottom surface 25A thereof is coated with silver. When the conductive gel comes into contact with the silver coated surface thereof it forms a combination silver/silver chloride coating which enhances the conductive properties therebetween. In using conventional snap fasteners which have chrome plated surfaces, for example, contact with electrode conductive gels often causes the formation of an acid coating which may be injurious to the skin against which the electrode is pressed. The silver/silver chloride coating not only has been found to increase the conductivity of the overall electrode, it has also been found to be essentially harmless to the skin of the patient. It can also be seen that when the electrode is applied to the skin of a patient, gel pad.26 is effectively compressed and the lower surface of the electrode forms an effectively soft and smooth contact with the skin over its entire area and little or no discomfort is felt by the patient.
With reference to the dimensions of the various.ele ments of the electrode of the invention, it has been found that the thickness of the adhesive foam pad 21 preferably lies within a range of from 1/ 32nd of an inch to about 3/ l6ths of an inch, with a thickness of about 1/ 1 6th of an inch being successfully used in a preferred embodiment of the electrode. The thickness is primarily selected so as toretain sufficient flexibility for the overall electrode to permit it to be used in various skin areas, even those having a relatively deep curvature. Moreover, it has been found that if the adhesive foam pad portion is at least l/32nd of aninch thick, it becomes much easier to remove the electrode both from the card on which it is shipped, as described below, and
from the skin after use.
The vinyl label 23 has been found preferably to have a diameter lying 0etween about 0.75 inches to up to the diameter of the foam pad 16. The latter preferably has a diameter of from about 1 inch to 2 /4 inches and in a preferred embodiment a diameter of 1% inches hasbeen found to be satisfactory for use not only on adult patients but also on child and infant patients.
The diameter of gel pad 26 is preferably between about ll/l6 inch and l3/l6 inch with a diameter of about /1 inch being successfully used in a preferred embodiment. Thus, the gel pad must be sufficiently large to cover the bottom contact element surface and yet have enough surface area in contact with the adhesive layer 22 to permit the gel pad to be adequately. attached to the foam pad 21 about its entire periphery. Since the gel pad 26 is retained on foam'pad 21'by the adhesive layer 22 it doesnot depend for its retention upon the surface tension ofthe gel itself. Accordingly, in shipping the overall electrode the electrode can be shipped either in a dry form, that is, a form wherein the gel is not applied to the open cell pad 26 until just prior to use, or in a wet" form, that is, where the gel is applied when the electrode is packaged so that it arrives for use in a pre-gelled" state. Such a construction is in contrast with that of theprior art where the V gel must'beshipped in a wet state so as to be retained gel pads are further protected by applying a clear plastic cover-member 32 having relatively rigid raised portions 33 positioned above each gel pad 26, as shown. Cover member 32 may be appropriately fastened with adhesive material, such as a suitable glue, at appropriate pointson the lower surface of the card.
Each card may be inserted into an hermetically sealed bag 35 which also has a light opaque inner surface. If the, electrode is of a pre-gelled form, the hermetically sealedbag prevents theescapeof any mois ture from-the gel and keeps the gel pad 26 in an appropriately wet conductive state. The use of a light opaque bag'prevents the penetration into the interior of the bagof ultraviolet rays which may cause a deterioration of the adhesive, layer 22. Accordingly, when-the electrode-is ready for use it will adhere firmly to the skin-without any problems. The semi-rigid cover 32 prevents the gel pad from being inadvertently squeezed during shipment which action would cause an irretrievable loss of the gel material.
In manufacturing the electrodes of the, inventioma sheetof closedcell plastic foam material is coveredon one surface thereof with a double sided layer of adhesive material. A plurality of vinyl labelsare then adhered at various regions to the opposite side thereof andthe snap fasteners 25 are machine installed at the centerof 'each vinyl label. A pluralityof open cell foam plastic pads are thenadhered to the adhesive layer of the closed cell material at positions opposite'each snap fastener. The open cell pads can be so applied ina dry. state and the electrodes then appropriately punched out from the closed cell plastic sheet.

By Fred W. Baker IIIAmerican Forces Press Service
ANKARA, Turkey, Feb. 27, 2008 Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates landed in Turkey today with the message for the country's leaders that sooner is better for wrapping up Turkish military operations in northern Iraq.
Gates said he would like to see them finished within days or weeks.
"It's very important that the Turks make this operation as short as possible and then leave. They have to be mindful of Iraqi sovereignty," Gates earlier told reporters at a roundtable in New Delhi, where he wrapped up two days of talks with Indian leaders.
"I measure 'quick' in terms of days, a week or two … not months," Gates said when asked to clarify how quickly he would like to see the operations finished.
Turkish military forces crossed into northern Iraq on Feb. 21 to prevent Kurdish PKK fighters from launching attacks into Turkey. The PKK is a militant Kurdish nationalist group that operates in northern Iraq and Turkey. U.S. officials classify the group as a terrorist organization.
Gates emphasized that close communication between the Turkish government, the United States and Iraq is key to the Turks carrying out their attacks against the PKK.
He meets tomorrow with the Turkish prime minister, defense minister and the commander of the Turkish armed forces. Gates said he will repeat the need to finish Turkish operations quickly, but he also will emphasize that military action alone will not solve Turkey's problem with the PKK.
"There certainly is a place for security operations, but these also need to be accompanied by economic and political initiatives that begin to deal with some of the issues that provide a favorable local environment where the PKK can operate," Gates said. "They need to address some of the issues and complaints that some of the Kurds have and move this in a nonmilitary direction in order to get a long-term solution."
Gates also said the United States would be willing to consider providing nonmilitary assistance to the Turkish government. The U.S. military now provides intelligence to the Turkish military for its operations.
"If we can play a constructive role in some of these other areas, and the Turks would like our help, we certainly should give that consideration," Gates said.
Gates' trip to Turkey was planned before the Turkish military operations began. It is the last stop in a nine-day around-the-world trip that was aimed at reinforcing relationships with key countries in Asia.
The defense secretary's remarks come on the same day the Pentagon's top intelligence official told a Senate committee the ongoing Turkish incursion into northern Iraq risks destabilizing the region if operations are sustained.
"Turkey has launched a limited ground incursion with supporting artillery and air strikes against the Kurdish People's Congress, or the KGK, in northern Iraq," Army Lt. Gen. Michael D. Maples told the Senate Armed Services Committee this morning in Washington.
"Sustained operations could jeopardize stability in northern Iraq," said Maples, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Today's comments echo remarks by U.S. officials who last week urged Turkey to bring to a "swift conclusion" any ongoing military operations in Iraq.
"We have strongly urged the Turkish government to bring any ongoing operations to a swift conclusion," Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told reporters Feb. 22, noting that the U.S. requested Turkey "to limit their operations to precise targeting of the PKK."
Whitman said the U.S. respects Turkey's need to protect its population and urges that Turkish officials work directly with Iraqis in dealing with the PKK. Further, he said, the U.S. encourages "a long-term agreement that will enhance the stability and security of that border region.
"We believe the long-term solution is one of diplomacy," he said, "and not a military solution."

Iceland's cool capital is known for its love of design, partying and its unique view of life. While staying in Reykjavik we scouted out some of the best places to stay. From kitsch hostels to a guesthouse promoting peace here is our Top 10 cool, quirky and unusual hotels in Reykjavik…
Kex Hostel – vintage cool
This beautifully kitsch hostel has quickly become a Reykjavik institution. Kex (the Icelandic word for biscuit), is a social hostel built in a former biscuit factory, and like any biscuit barrel, you'll find a variety of flavours, shapes and tastes. It has an industrial feel, and the designers have blended reclamation and retro with vintage and salvage to create a contemporary look. It has dormitory accommodation, and some private rooms, all decorated in the house-style. The cafe and bar, provide hot and cold drinks and home-baked biscuits, and there's a guest kitchen if you fancy trying a few Icelandic home-made dishes. With a heated outdoor patio, wifi, vintage hairdressers and barber, complete with a 1933 barber's chair, not to mention the old-school school gym, with its retro boxing gloves, you'll have to find a good reason to leave. Also don't miss their lively regular music, comedy, karaoke and open-mic events.
- Prices from $80 a night.
- To book, check prices or availability for Kex Hostel
101 Hotel – hip and achingly cool
Named Iceland's Leading Boutique Hotel at the World travel awards, this hotel is small and perfectly formed. With its own art gallery, gym and spa, there's plenty to occupy the mind within the hotel walls. Rooms have freestanding baths, with rows of crisp white warmed towels, Aveda toiletries, in-room boutiques with Blue Lagoon products, books, and clothing, a BOSE iPod sound-dock, and to keep those pinkies warm, underfloor heating. If you can tear yourself away, there's a modern and sleek bar and restaurant downstairs. Clearly inspired by the art gallery, the space with it's high ceiling, walls of glass, and bespoke handmade pieces like tables made of tree trunks, and futuristic lamps, all nestle fittingly by a roaring log fire.
- Prices from $110 a night.
- To book, check prices or availability for 101 Hotel
Kerlingarfjöll – for a taste of the wilderness
Although not based in the city, this accommodation offers a 'cosy-up and snuggle by the fire' break within the Mountain areas of Kerlingarfjöll. Formed after a volcanic eruption, Kerlingarfjöll is Iceland's largest geothermal area, and as such bestows breathtaking hiking routes. Mountains huts and cabins form the accommodation, and many have large communal spaces, so they're perfect for travellers, or even big family-getaways. Cabins are comfortable with double beds, toilets and kitchens in most. With a restaurant on-site, guests can enjoy local Icelandic fare as well. After a long day's hike most guests retire to the outdoor hot pool which reaches a more-than-pleasant 42 degrees c.
- Prices from $110 a night.
- To book, check prices or availability for Kerlingarfjöll.
CenterHotel Thingholt – hip and stylish
Originally a printing factory in the 1940s, the CentreHotel is a great boutique find (and where we chose to stay). Right in the centre of Reykjavik, it makes the perfect base for shopping and sightseeing. The style and sophistication of the forties has been retained, and with contemporary Icelandic design, lends its hand to create a stunning original look. Deluxe rooms features beds laden with cream and white chunky fabrics, against white walls, lit with white lights, and art gallery prints on the walls. White and black animal prints used sparingly for rugs and cushions, and reclaimed-wood furnishings give the hotel a striking look which definitely fits in with the city's creative ideals. The staff are both welcoming and friendly and an added bonus is that breakfast is included in the room rate – a rare find these days.
- Prices from $78 per night.
- To book, check prices or availability for Centerhotel Thingholt.
Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina – quirky chic
Located in the downtown harbour district, Reykjavik marina is the the latest 'on trend' hotel. The four-story building is nestled into the marina, and stands proudly next to Reykjavik's historical dry-dock Slippur. The café, bar and restaurant are the hub of the hotel, with cuddle-up cozy seating and roaring log fires all overlooking sea and mountain views. The hotel owners have hunted antiques shops to find interesting pieces and have created their own unusual style by pairing bright flowering wallpapers, fresh flowers, and vintage prints, with bright seats, and low lighting. Bedrooms follow this Nordic-style, adding a hint of the maritime history in for good measure, whilst balconies with sea views, and showers powered with geothermal hot water, add a little extra.
- Prices from $90 per night.
- To book, check prices or availability of Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina
Hotel Reykjavik Centrum – for the history buffs
Hotel Reykjavik Centrum pays homage to Iceland's past. Located on one of Reykjavik's oldest streets, Adalstraeti, the building has recently been renovated. Parts of the building date back to 1764, and further adding to the historical interest, during the restoration, archaeologists found human remains from AD 870, and the shell of a Viking long-house, which is now held in a museum deep under the hotel. Rooms are styled in a contemporary Icelandic manner, and feature all the usual extras. The hotel has a well-regarded French restaurant great for romantic meals for two.
- Prices from $90 per night.

Hotel Borg – classic Art Deco

Its 56 rooms feature custom-made wood and leather furnishings, veneered parquet flooring, period globe lamps, Deco murals, and photographs of Reykjavík in 20s and 30s, transporting you back in time to an age of sophistication.

There's a choice of themed cabins – creativity, couture, elegance, cuisine, nature, family, romance and nature.

All cabins come with hot tubs overlooking the mountains.
- Prices from $110 a night.
- To book, check prices or availability for Hotel Glymur
4th Floor Hotel – budget boutique
The 4th floor hotel occupies just one floor of a large central building, and holds 19 rooms, each with their own style. The hotel offers anything from delux pads with en-suites, to apartments for large groups and families, providing an inexpensive form of city accommodation. The hotel is a family run business, and as such has a friendly and amiable feel. Interiors in the rooms and in the hotel's bar and café, where a hearty breakfast is served each morning, are contemporary, with shiny black floors, wood furnishings, and zebra-striped fabrics. It's an inexpensive, beautifully decorated hotel within easy reach of museums, art galleries, shops and restaurants.
- Prices from $54 per night.
- To book, check prices or availability for 4th Floor Hotel
Peace Center Guesthouse – for a slice of tranquility
This place is located on a residential street not too far from the city centre. It's a non profit organization which promotes peace and organises humanitarian projects which also happens to have a guesthouse for tourists to use. This part-funds the work of the centre, and also creates a tranquil holiday base for travellers. The house is built in the artistic area of the city and is surrounded by artists' homes and studios. Great for a budget break in relaxing surroundings, it features communal lounges, a reading area and library, kitchens and free wifi.

The Alabama A&M board of trustees on Friday raised tuition 5 percent and axed six degree programs, while adding three new ones.
And that doesn't count whatever happened in more than 2 1/2 hours behind closed doors in executive session during the board's June meeting.
The tuition increase was expected -- it was approved by the board's business and finance committee two weeks ago. It replenishes the school's budget with an estimated $1.6 million for the upcoming school year. That offsets a cut in state funding of nearly $1.1 million.
In actual dollars, the increase would raise tuition $165 per semester to about $3,495 for in-state students, finance director Ralph Johnson sai

Quote PelphreyPosse: Ms. James, 20 years of going to these kind of events will make you known to most of them. I have met the younger cast over the past 10 years or so. Tom, John, Gina and Jeff and Jessica. Kim and Robert and Ron for more than 15 years. This has been my hobby and what I do for fun. I am indeed lucky and I know it.
Bravo, PP, and hope you do a lot of more reviews of soap people for us...thanks...jdvermeer
Quote PelphreyPosse: I have never claimed that my soap hobby is inexpensive. I spend a lot of money on plane tickets, event tickets, hotels, meals etc. But I work hard too and it's my choice on what I spend my loot on! In the last three years, I have moved from seeing the actors at the events, to going out to dinner and hanging with them away from the events. It has just been a natural progression of a friendship. I feel very fortunate to be able to be around them so much. They are a great group of people.
Bravo again, dear PP....keep doing what you are doing, gal! love, jdvermeer
