Morning sickness (also called nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, or NVP) is feeling sick to your stomach (also called nausea) and vomiting that happens in the first few months of pregnancy. Even though it's called morning sickness, it can last all day and happen any time of day.
At least 7 in 10 women have morning sickness during the first trimester (first 3 months or about 12 weeks of pregnancy). It usually starts at about 6 weeks of pregnancy and is at its worst at about 9 weeks. Most women start to feel better in their second trimester. But some may have morning sickness throughout pregnancy. If you have morning sickness, tell your provider.
Mild morning sickness doesn't harm you or your baby. But if morning sickness becomes severe (called hyperemesis gravidarum), it can lead to weight loss and dehydration (not having enough water in your body). These problems can be harmful during pregnancy. If you have severe morning sickness, you may need to stay in the hospital for treatment.
No one knows for sure what causes morning sickness. An increase in pregnancy hormones, like human chorionic gonadotropin (also called HCG), or low blood sugar early in pregnancy may cause morning sickness. Being stressed or overly tired, eating certain foods and traveling (if you're likely to have motion sickness) may make the morning sickness worse.
Here are some things you can do to help you feel better and may even prevent morning sickness:
Talk to your health care provider before trying any of these methods to relieve or prevent morning sickness:
For most women, morning sickness is mild and goes away over time. But call your health care provider if:
Your provider may prescribe a medicine to help relieve your nausea. It comes as a tablet that you take every day as long as you have symptoms.
About 2 in 100 women may have a severe kind morning sickness called hyperemesis gravidarum, which means severe vomiting during pregnancy. Women with this condition can't keep any food or fluid in their stomach. They may lose weight or become dehydrated. This condition can begin early in pregnancy and last throughout pregnancy.
You may be more likely than other women to have severe morning sickness if you:
Signs of severe morning sickness include:
If you have severe morning sickness, you may need treatment in a hospital with intravenous fluids. These are fluids that are given through a needle into a vein.
Last reviewed July 2013
Knowing the signs of pregnancy can help you tell if you're pregnant. Here are some signs that you might be pregnant:
If you have any of these pregnancy signs and think you may be pregnant, go to your health care provider. The sooner you know you're pregnant, the sooner you can begin prenatal checkups and start taking good care of yourself and your growing baby.
You'll start feeling your baby's kicks at around the 28th week of pregnancy. By this time, your baby's movements are usually well established and some health care providers recommend keeping track of these movements.
Keep counting until you've felt 10 movements from baby. If baby doesn't move 10 times within 1 hour, try again later that day. Call your health provider if your baby's movement seems unusual or you've tried more than once that day and can't feel baby move 10 times or more during 1 hour.
Popcorn popping. A little fish swimming. Bubbles. Butterflies. Tickles. These are common words used by women to describe their baby's first movements. Also known as "quickening," it's a reassuring sign that your baby is OK and growing. This milestone typically starts sometime between 18 to 25 weeks into pregnancy. For first-time moms, it may occur closer to 25 weeks, and for second- or third-time moms, it may happen much sooner.
At first it may be difficult to tell the difference between gas and your baby moving. You might not feel movement as early as you are expecting to feel it, but you'll notice a pattern soon. You'll start to learn when the baby is most active and what seems to get her moving.

Engaging Schools is a nonprofit organization that collaborates with educators in middle and high schools.
We help them create a schoolwide community of learning that integrates academic, social, and emotional development — and prepares each and every student to succeed.
We offer professional development and resources with practical strategies that are grounded in the values of equity, community, and democracy. The result: educators who can better engage their students — and students who are prepared to make positive contributions in school, work, and life.
NEW for Summer 2015: An open-enrollment Engaged Classrooms institute in Massachusetts. Click here for more information and registration.
Twenty percent of U.S. high school students do not graduate on time. Engaging Schools helped Dean Tech boost its on-time graduation rate from 28 to 40 percent in one year.
Being suspended even once in 9th grade is associated with a twofold increase in the likelihood of dropping out. After one year of working with Engaging Schools, the suspension rate at Dean Tech dropped from 50 to 24 percent.
Boredom, restlessness, and irrelevance were more often associated with dropping out of school than were academic difficulties. After working with Engaging Schools, school staff report "palpable energy" from the students.
A one-percentage-point increase in a school's average student engagement score is associated with a six-point increase in reading achievement and an eight-point increase in math achievement.
Students who strongly agree that they have at least one teacher who makes them "feel excited about the future" and that their school is "committed to building the strengths of each student" are 30 times more likely to be engaged in their classrooms.
African American students without disabilities are more than three times as likely as their white peers without disabilities to be expelled or suspended.
Promoting successful school completion requires a shift in focus from [demographic] predictors of non-completion, such as race and socioeconomic status, to student engagement at school and with learning over time. Students who are engaged — academically, cognitively, psychologically, and behaviorally — are more likely to complete school.
Asked to rate various factors' effect on achievement, teachers and administrators rated student engagement and motivation, on average, 3.9 on a 4-point scale. And 87 percent of respondents considered student engagement and motivation to be "very important."
Sixty percent of students ranked achievement above caring for others and nearly two-thirds believed their peers would rank achievement above caring.
This is the third installment of Dan and Larry's discussion based on their shared focus on developing and sustaining equitable, supportive, and restorative systems of school discipline. See previous installments here. Larry: In our work we talk about both developmental and cultural competence. Among people who work with adolescents, there is often a lack of understanding…More

Total Cost of Ownership for Data Center Physical Infrastructure
Data centers represent facility investments worth millions of dollars, simply in their construction. They also incur much higher costs for operations and maintenance than more traditionally owned real estate. So it's important to calculate the total cost of ownership (TCO) differently. Experts, like Peter Sacco, president of PTS Data Center Solutions, Inc., rely on a formula developed by the Uptime Institute.
The Uptime Institute has a spreadsheet tool that incorporates all components of data center costs, including both capital expenditures and operating expenses. The tool is available from the Uptime Institute�s website free of charge.
"Budgeting for data center physical infrastructure costs is just not covered adequately in the traditional real estate method of assigning these costs on a square foot basis," Sacco explains. An alternate method assigns TCO on a per server basis, but Sacco believes that allocating part of the physical infrastructure on a dollars per kilowatt-hour basis and other infrastructure components on a square footage basis makes most financial sense for TCO.
Typically, power and cooling, UPS, battery backup and so on are calculated on the dollars per kilowatt hour method, while raised flooring, lighting, grounding and fire protection are covered best by the dollars per square foot method. Though there are many variables, Sacco finds TCO often breaks down as 80 percent in dollars per kilowatt-hour, with 20 percent in dollars per square foot.
The capital expenditures for initial construction of a data center typically break down as 30 percent for IT equipment, with the rest for infrastructure. Infrastructure costs include the exterior framing, as well as cooling, air handling, backup power, power distribution and power conditioning as well as architectural and engineering fees, interest during the construction phase, land, fire suppression costs, etc.
Operating expenses include electricity costs for the supporting infrastructure, as well as facilities management staff, maintenance, janitorial and landscaping costs, security, property taxes and so on.
Sacco also notes that TCO needs to take into account the data center's Tier level, as that will dictate the level of redundancy. "Tier IV is fully fault tolerant," he says. �You have not just one set but two sets of Tier II infrastructure to factor into TCO." So the dollars per kilowatt hour will be much higher because such applications can tolerate virtually no downtime. Tier IV applications typically are found in large financial institutions and insurance companies where the criticality outweighs the much higher dollars per kilowatt-hour rates.
More typical data center applications are Tier II, with N+1 redundancies. Even at this level, however, TOC will vary depending on whether they are high-density or low-density applications or some combination of the two as is found in many colocation facilities.
"Three elements can significantly impact TCO: total load, total availability required and deployed density," says Sacco. "Increase any one of these elements and the dollars per kilowatt-hour increase substantially."
That said, factoring capital expenditures and operational expenses for TCO ahead of building or revamping a data center offer many opportunities for potential savings, particularly in energy costs. But he points out that increased efficiencies to lower operation expenses will mean larger capital expenditures.
"Generally, the priority is not reducing electrical consumption," Sacco admits. But by using TCO and other computational fluid dynamics modeling tools, data centers "can achieve some good energy efficiency improvements that should be considered."

Travel Guide Africa Chad
Photo not found
Rejected by the French during colonial times and torn by civil war and a war with Libya since independence, Chad is about as troubled as a goldfish on dry land. Like a host of other African nations, the country's had a bloody hard time getting its political act together, with major ethnic groups all warring for power. For the past decade, power has been in the hands of Idris Déby, which marks relative stability compared to the previous thirty years. Areas of danger remain, but it's a shade brighter than the past.
Chadians are recognized as a friendly bunch, whose night life is as energetic and invigorating as they come. The three biggest cities, N'Djamena, Sarh and Moundou are the traveller's best bets for a peaceful, enjoyable holiday. Heading to other parts of the country can take a while, since Chad hasn't really had time to build up its tourist facilities.
For more than 2000 years, the Chadian Basin has been inhabited by agricultural and sedentary peoples. The region became a crossroads of civilizations. The earliest of these were the legendary Sao, known from artifacts and oral histories. The Sao fell to the Kanem Empire, the first and longest-lasting of the empires that developed in Chad's Sahelian strip by the end of the 1st millennium AD.
French colonial expansion led to the creation of the Territoire Militaire des Pays et Protectorats du Tchad in 1900. By 1920, France had secured full control of the colony and incorporated it as part of French Equatorial Africa. After World War II, France granted Chad the status of overseas territory and its inhabitants the right to elect representatives to the French National Assembly and a Chadian assembly. The largest political party was the Chadian Progressive Party (PPT), based in the southern half of the colony. Chad was granted independence on August 11, 1960 with the PPT's leader, François Tombalbaye, as its first president. In 1965 Muslims began a civil war. Tombalbaye was overthrown and killed in 1975, but the insurgency continued. In 1979 the rebel factions conquered the capital, and all central authority in the country collapsed.The disintegration of Chad caused the collapse of France's position in the country. Libya moved to fill the power vacuum and became involved in Chad's civil war. Libya adventure ended in disaster in 1987; the French-supported president, Hissène Habré, evoked a united response from Chadians of a kind never seen before and forced the Libyan army off Chadian soil. Habré consolidated his dictatorship through a power system that relied on corruption and violence; an estimated 40,000 people were killed under his rule. The president favoured his own Daza ethnic group and discriminated against his former allies, the Zaghawa. His general, Idriss Déby, overthrew him in 1990.
Oil exploitation began in Chad in 2003, bringing with it hopes that Chad would at last have some chances of peace and prosperity. Instead, internal dissent worsened, and a new civil war broke out. Déby unilaterally modified the constitution to remove the two-term limit on the presidency; this caused an uproar among the civil society and opposition parties. In 2006 Déby won a third mandate in elections that the opposition boycotted. Ethnic violence in eastern Chad has increased; the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has warned that a genocide like that in Darfur may yet occur in Chad. In 2006 and in 2008 rebel forces have attempted to take the capital by force, but have on both circumstances failed.
At 1,284,000 square kilometres, Chad is the world's 21st-largest country. Chad is in north central Africa, lying between latitudes 7° and 24°N, and 13° and 24°E. Chad is bounded to the north by Libya, to the east by Sudan, to the west by Niger, Nigeria and Cameroon, and to the south by the Central African Republic. The country's capital is 1,060 kilometres from the nearest seaport Douala, Cameroon. The dominant physical structure is a wide basin bounded to the north, east and south by mountain ranges such as the Ennedi Plateau in the north-east. Lake Chad, after which the country is named, is the remains of an immense lake that occupied 330,000 square kilometres of the Chad Basin 7,000 years ago. Although in the 21st century it covers only 17,806 square kilometres, and its surface area is subject to heavy seasonal fluctuations, the lake is Africa's second largest wetland. The Emi Koussi, a dormant volcano in the Tibesti Mountains that reaches 3,414 metres above sea level, is the highest point in Chad and the Sahara. The region's tall grasses and extensive marshes make it favourable for birds, reptiles, and large mammals. Chad's major rivers—the Chari, Logone and their tributaries—flow through the southern savannas from the southeast into Lake Chad.
Zakouma National Park is located in the south of Chad, between the cities of Sarh and Am Timan. It is about 3000 square kilometers large and was the first national park in the country, established in 1963. Although it is a park known for its wildlife, numbers have reduced seriously during the last decades, especially regarding the elephant population. Nowadays, things are getting better as more and more poachers are getting caught, but it is still insufficient to prevent it by government totally. The park is known for its elephant and lion population and dozens of other mammals and birds can be observed here. It has been nominated recently to become a UNESCO World Heritage site, but things have to improve much more.
Lake Chad once was one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world, but unfortunately it is slowly drying up and during some severe drought years it even was complete dry like in 1984. Normally though the lake can reach about 25,000 square kilometres during the rainy season. The disappearing of the lake will cause serious environmental and economic problems for the local people relying on the lake as a way to survive the harsh climate here. Near the village of Bol, where the lake never dries up you can out on the lake and see floating island as well as birds and a few hippos. Hire a boat with local fishermen at this town at the border with Nigeria.
The Ennedi desert is a good alternative to the Tibesti Mountains, which are still off limits. It is a fantastic desert area with prehistoric cave paintings, canyons, desert lakes and weird rock formations. Ancient sea arches are even weirder. Once Lake Chad reached this place. The sand dunes are particularly beautiful as well, especially at sunset. With some luck you might spot some animals like the Nile Crocodile, but unfortunately the Sahara lion is extinct now.
Chad is a hot and relatively dry country. Much of the country receives little or no rain at all. The north is extremely dry with a virtual absence of rainfall. Temperatures are high to extremely hot year round. Temperatures average between 28 °C and 32 °C during the winter months of November to February, dropping to between 13 °C and 18 °C at night. Summers are hot with April to August seeing average highs of 40 °C to 44 °C, topping 50 °C sometimes. Nights are balmy with around 24 °C. In the south, temperatures are a bit lower, but still high. The capital N'Djamena for example has average daytime temperatures between 30 °C and 35 °C for most of the year, March to May above 40 °C. Nights are mostly between 20 °C and 25 °C, only November to February is cooler, around 17 °C. In this Sahel area there is a single relatively short rainy season from June to September, July and August being the wettest months by far.
Toumaï Air Chad is the national airline of Chad and is based at N'Djamena International Airport (NDJ) near the capital N'Djamena. International destinations include Bangui, Brazzaville, Cotonou, Douala. Other airlines serving this airport are Tripoli, Paris (Air France), Johannesburg, Addis Ababa, Abidjan, Khartoum and Yaoundé.
Most overland travellers avoid Chad if they have their own car, but the southwestern corner of the country usually is safe enough to try your luck. Have your papers and insurance in order and expect tough persons at the border waiting for a bribe. The crossings to Niger and Cameroon are your best option if you want to avoid Nigeria which can be unsafe for overland travellers as well, especially in remote parts in the northern section of the country.
Minibuses and motorcycle taxis run from N'Djamena out to the border town of Nguelé. From there you can catch a motorcycle taxi over the bridge into Kousséri where there are regular minibuses to Maroua. You can also enter Cameroon further south, via Léré or Bongor.
4wd vehicles and trucks travel between N'Djamena and Nguigmi in Niger, via Mao. In Niger, there is onward transport from Diffa to Zinder and twice a week from Nguigmi buses go via Zinder all the way to Niamey.
To Nigeria is fastest through Cameroon via Maroua, from where you can take a bush taxi straight to Maiduguri or a minibus to the border at Banki.
Borders with Sudan and Libya are either closed, unsafe, or a combination of both.
You could take a boat across Lake Chad from Bol to Nigeria, but ask around first if it is running and safe.
Toumaï Air Chad flies between Abeche and N'Djamena. Maundou, Sarh and Mao might have connections as well, but don't count on it.
Roads in Chad are in a bad shape and only a few roads near the capital are paved. Other roads are pistes or gravel and are often impassable during the rainy season. Renting a car is possible but not recommended as rates are high, as is petrol (if at all available) and the safety situation has not been good over the last years, especially towards areas in the north and east. You will need special permission as well to travel further beyond N'Djamena. Traffic drives on the right and you need an international driving permit as well as official authorisation.
Buses travel between N'Djamena and Sarh in the dry season at least. Outside this season and to many other destinations, you will have to rely on pickups, trucks and the occasional minibus. Count on a long and uncomfortable trip. If you can fly, do that!
Citizens of the following countries do not require a visa:
Benin, Burkina-Faso, Cameroun, Central African Republic, Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Mauritania, Niger and Senegal.
All others need a visa and an invititation. It is advised to get a visa beforehand at one of the embassies or consulates of Chad.
Visas are usually valid for a month but can be extended once in the country. A valid passport, 3 application forms, 3 photos and a return ticket are required. The fee is about $100 for a single-entry and $150 (3 months) to $200 (6 months) for a multiple-entry visa.

Chad uses the CFA Franc as a currency. The CFA Franc is divided into 100 centimes. Coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 500 francs while banknotes come in denominations of 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10,000 francs
The exchange range is fixed at aproximately 656 CFA Francs for one Euro.
In Chad the Central African CFA Franc (XAF) is used which has the same vallue as the West African CFA Franc (XOF), but it's not possible to use both currencies in the same country.
Fourteen countries in Africa use this currency, eight in West Africa and six in Central Africa. The West African CFA Franc can only be used in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo, while the Central African CFA Franc can only be used in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
The official languages in Chad are Arabic and French. The African language Sara is spoken in the south of the country.

Proof that you had a yellow fever vaccination is required upon entering Chad when you have been in a yellow fever country within 7 days of entering Chad. Still, it is recommended you get the yellow fever vaccination anyway, especially when travelling in the south. You have to have a cholera stamp (prove of the fact that you don't have that desease) when entering overland.
It's a good thing to get your vaccinations in order before travelling to Chad. The general vaccination against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio (DTP) is recommended. Also both hepatitis A as well as typhoid would be recommended.
If you are staying longer than 3 months or have a particular risk (travelling by bike, handling of animals, visits to caves) you might consider a rabies vaccination. Vaccination against Tuberculosis as well as hepatitis B are also sometimes recommended for stays longer than 3 months. When staying longer than 6 months, vaccination against meningitis might be recommended, depending on your contact with other people.
Like most African countries south of the Sahara, Malaria is prevalent in the country. Don't underestimate this tropical disease and take precautions. Buy repellent (preferably with 50% DEET), and sleep under a net.
Finally, other possible health issues include diarrhea and other general travellers' diseases like motion sickness. Watch what you eat and drink and in case you get it, drink plenty of fluids (to prevent dehydration) and bring ORS.

Joplin, Mo. -- Missouri Southern women's basketball coach Ronda Hubbard has announced the addition of Haley Wolf to the coaching staff for the Lions.
"Haley is a welcomed addition to our staff as she has good knowledge of the MIAA and great 'behind the scenes' training in the marketing department at KU," Hubbard said. "I am confident that her youthful enthusiasm and work ethic are going to help us function at a higher level. She will work within all aspects of our program, but in particular will take on the academic coordinator and travel coordinator responsibilities."
Wolf comes to Missouri Southern after spending the last year working in the Athletic Marketing department at the University of Kansas where she assisted in promoting each sport for the Jayhawks'.
A four-year letterwinner, Wolf played collegiately at MIAA member Fort Hays State where she graduated with a degree in health and human performance in 2013.
A native of Ellis, Kansas, Wolf prepped at Ellis High School where she was a two-time All-League sellection and part of the winningest class in EHS history. She also helped lead the Railroaders to a state runners-up finish in 2009.
"I am honored to join Coach Hubbard's staff here at Missouri Southern State University," Wolf said. "This is a wonderful opportunity for me to begin my coaching career. I am excited to learn from a great coaching staff and look forward to working with a great group of young women."

Police say the officer suffered injuries to his back and lower body. He was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital for treatment and was released.
The incident is still under investigation. The driver of the vehicle was also ticketed for failing to yield to an emergency vehicle and making an improper left turn.

One of the rewarding things about being a reporter is the opportunity to follow a long-term story as it unfolds. This has been the case with the Willmar Regional Cancer Center, starting a few years ago when Rice Memorial Hospital and Affiliated Community Medical Centers began seriously talking about combining their cancer services under one roof.
I've heard hospital and clinic officials, physicians and staff explain why they think this is a good move. I've seen the design phase of the $2 million project and toured the space several times while construction was under way. And having seen the finished product last week, it's not hard to understand why the folks involved in this project would be so excited about showing it off to the community this weekend. The open house/grand opening for the public is 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday.
Bricks and mortar aren't the only thing that's important, of course. It's the people who make the cancer center what it is. But you can do a whole lot more for patients when you have a physical environment that supports and enhances the services you provide.
The previous arrangement – having the radiation therapy program at Rice and medical/chemotherapy services at ACMC – has always been somewhat fragmented in terms of the patient experience. It also has hindered the establishment of a strong, unified identity for local cancer services, one that says "we're here and we can treat you if you're ever diagnosed with cancer."
Now there's one place patients can go for everything. They no longer have to figure out how to navigate two different buildings and two different parking lots. They can deal with the same staff each time. It gives them some element of familiarity and predictability at a time in their lives when the rug has been pulled out from under their feet.
The picture above shows the new entrance. It's much more visible than it used to be, and it's large enough to accommodate wheelchairs, plus family members, caregivers or whoever else might be accompanying the patient.
Here's the new waiting area:
And another view of the waiting area:
Even though patients and families are not here for a happy reason, the team that planned the design has done their best to reduce the intimidation factor and make it welcoming:
I have to say I'm impressed with the amount of thought that has gone into the details. For instance, there's now an on-site lab that makes it more convenient to do blood draws and other lab tests. This might not seem like a big deal, but keep in mind that cancer treatment can take a real toll on the patient's blood counts, especially infection-fighting white cells, hence people undergoing treatment need to visit the lab often to have their counts monitored. In the past, this has meant trekking down to the laboratory department at ACMC or at Rice. It was an extra thing for patients to deal with at a time when they were often struggling with fatigue, plus it risked exposing them to a whole range of other patients while they were immune-compromised. Now they can have their blood drawn right there in the cancer center – a small thing, perhaps, but one that helps make the treatment experience a little easier.
Ditto with the on-site pharmacy. In the past, all the drug solutions were mixed and prepared by chemotherapy nurses. Given that many patients on chemotherapy are each receiving an average of two to three intravenous drugs, plus pre-treatment IV steroids and anti-nausea medication, this can be very time-consuming. The on-site pharmacy is now staffed by Rice Hospital pharmacists, which has freed nurses to spend more time with patients.
One of the biggest physical improvements, in fact, is the chemotherapy environment. With chemotherapy sessions that can take two – and sometimes as many as six – hours, comfort matters. Patients now have their pick of an open treatment bay or a semi-private room. The treatment bay is large enough to accommodate up to six patients and is equipped with a big-screen TV and snack bar. There are eight semi-private rooms, each with TV, and roomy enough to include family members.
Nice chairs, pleasant lighting and art on the walls might not make much difference in a successful outcome, but if you talk to patients most of them will say they appreciate an environment that helps them feel physically and emotionally more comfortable. After all, they spend a lot of time here under stressful, demanding circumstances. If they're receiving chemotherapy, they more than likely will undergo multiple sessions of treatment. Radiation therapy generally requires coming in five days a week, often for anywhere from four to six weeks. Many patients have both chemotherapy and radiation, necessitating many, many visits over the course of months. On some level, the physical surroundings do matter.
And let's not forget the support services. By uniting under one roof, the Willmar Regional Cancer Center is now able to increase these. The staff is especially excited about a new nurse navigator program, which makes a full-time nurse available to help connect patients and families with extra resources, whether it's financial assistance they need or help with home care or nutrition. It's a service that, frankly, has been lacking in the past – and one that many patients and families sorely need.
One of the goals of the cancer center is to eventually start a survivorship program as well. It's increasingly being recognized that the transition out of active cancer treatment is, in its own way, as stressful and uncertain as the beginning of treatment. There has long been an unmet need for helping these patients make the transition. There's also a growing number of people who survive cancer, as well as people living long term with chronic cancer, who would benefit from support services aimed at helping them live as well as possible.
It's hard to put a dollar value on services such as a nurse navigator or a survivorship program. But just like the physical environment, these intangible things – the attentiveness, the personal approach – often do matter greatly to patients and families.
There's a tendency for people to shun their own back yard in the belief they'll get a better product or service by going out of town. And to be sure, there are times when cancer patients are best served by going to Rochester or the Twin Cities or elsewhere for the specialized care they need. But bigger does not necessarily mean better. There's a lot to be said for having this level of cancer care available close to home and knowing the quality measures and the outcomes stack up every bit as well as those at larger facilities.

Honorary President, The PGA of America
Birth Date: July 24, 1954
Birthplace: Baltimore, Md.
Age: 59
Home: Bel Air, Md.
Turned Professional: 1976
PGA Membership: 1981
PGA Section: Middle Atlantic
Allen Wronowski served as the 37th President of The PGA of America from November 2010-12, following two years of service each as PGA Vice President and PGA Secretary. He is the director of member and player development at Hillendale Country Club in Phoenix, Md., a facility that he has served since 1979, beginning as an assistant professional, then PGA head professional (1990) before being named PGA director of golf (2010).
Wronowski's record of service to the Association includes a term as District 10 Director on the PGA Board of Directors from 2000-04, when he demonstrated his passion to enhance player development. As a national officer, Wronowski has expanded upon this initiative by supporting the core values of PGA Professionals and their impact upon junior golf, minorities and diversity.
He has served as chair for the 2009-10 PGA Professional National Championship, 2007-10 Junior PGA Championship and PGA Board of Control. In addition, he has served as co-chair of the National PGA Junior Golf Committee and as a board member for both The First Tee and the Folds of Honor Foundation.
A native of Baltimore, Wronowski fell in love with the game of golf as a high school junior, so much so that he eventually decided to turn professional in 1976. Wronowski became active in Section governance soon after being elected to PGA membership in 1981, and has served on the Middle Atlantic PGA Section board of directors since 1996, holding all offices and representing the Section at the national level.
Wronowski's impact with the Middle Atlantic PGA included creating a business plan for the Board and committees that is still a standard today; implementing a mentoring program that continues to be utilized by all chapters; and guiding an investment fund that increased Section reserves to $1.9 million, and led to a permanent headquarters in Stafford, Va.
In 1999, the Middle Atlantic PGA named Wronowski its Section Golf Professional of the Year; and in 2002, he earned the MAPGA Bill Strausbaugh Award for his behind-the-scenes work on employment efforts for the members of the Section. Wronowski was also named the 1984 Middle Atlantic Assistant Golf Professional of the Year.
Elected to national office as PGA Secretary in 2006; Wronowski became Vice President in 2008; and was elected PGA President in 2010, and became PGA Honorary President on Nov. 10, 2012. Wronowski and his wife, Gail, live in Bel Air, Md.

A new set of plans have been lodged with Cuppertino City council for the new Apple 2 campus by Foster + Partners. Fans of the company's products are known for queuing outside their stores and round the block at product launches, but if they were to queue around this building it would be a long wait!
The latest set of plans update detail of the proposals as part of the general planning process, but the striking circular form of the building remains. I wonder if the particle accelerator was a source of inspiration? Although those buildings are normally buried underground – the metaphor is a powerful one!
The building is set on a 175 acre site and accommodates 2.8M square feet of office and R + D space, a 1000 seat auditorium, as well as a corporate fitness centre. Some 13,000 Apple employees will be located there.

Statistics show that 80% of credit histories have at least one error. Most of them are minor and inconsequential but some can have an adverse effect on your credit score, often costing your thousands on mortgages and car loans. I believe credit bureaus were so lackadaisical about accuracy because it forced consumers to buy their credit reporting services. You wouldn't know there's an error unless you paid Equifax for a copy of your report. Fortunately, federal law now makes it possible for us to police our own records and force bureaus to correct them, all on their dime. Here's how:
Check Your Credit History Year-Round, For Free
Paying Cards Off Doesn't Mean Reported Balances Are Zero
Personal finance columnist Liz Pulliam Weston saw Rebekah's story yesterday, "Is It OK To Use Credit Cards For Everything, If You Pay Them Off Every Month?" and wanted to clarify something important. If you pay off the cards in full, the balances reported to the credit bureaus will not be zero. More likely, it will be the balance from your last statement. Liz writes:
One Day Left To Register For TransUnion Class Action Lawsuit
September 24, tomorrow, is the last day to register for the class action against TransUnion for selling consumer's private data to businesses without permission. If you held a credit card between January 1, 1987 to May 28, 2008, you're eligible to receive benefits. You can choose from one of three options:
Steve Jackson Disses Lameo Free Credit Report Monitoring Service
Steve Jackson, a well-known game designer, got an offer for free credit report monitoring from his bank. When he called up the monitoring company, Intersections Inc, the customer service rep rattled off a boilerplate agreement and asked for his assent. When he asked if they would send him a copy, she said they don't send out copies. When he asked then how he would have a record of what they agreed to, she got huffy and said, "This is free. You don't need to worry about it."
Really, Credit Bureaus, I'm Not Dead
I have been battling with a silly preconception the federal government has concerning my status as a deceased person, that causes them to routinely shut down credit cards that I am using, and stresses my ability to build credit. (All this despite being actively enlisted in the US Navy)…
Mailing Addresses For TransUnion, Experian, Equifax
Having trouble finding the mailing address for any of the three major credit bureaus, TransUnion, Experian, Equifax? Here they are:
CreditKarma.com Makes Free Credit Score More Like FICO's
The CreditKarma.com site we told you about in our roundup of "5 No BS Ways To Get A Credit Score For Free" has changed its calibration system so the free, advertising-supported, credit score it gives you is now on the 300-850 range, just like your FICO score. It's still not your FICO score, but it does make the approximation, based on TransUnion data, more relevant. If you're do some major money moves, like getting a mortgage, you would still want to pay for the FICO score for total accuracy, but if you just want a general sense of how you're doing, CreditKarma.com is a great way to do it for free.
I Can't Get A Loan, Sears Says I'm Dead
Claudia's father couldn't get a loan because Sears reported to the credit bureaus that he was dead. In fact, it was her mother who had died. After complaints, Sears credit cards, run by Citibank said they fixed the problem. Then Claudia's dad tried to get a loan but couldn't. His credit score was zero.
After a multimillion-dollar verdict, attorneys get fee award, too
To add (just) insult to (just) injury, a Florida judge awarded $518,301 to Angela Williams's attorneys (PDF link). Ms. Williams recently won almost $3 million in a lawsuit against Equifax for Equifax's refusal to fix her credit report after her identity was stolen.
Got $250 Video Store Debt Deleted From Credit Report
I had a weird unpaid debt listed on my credit reports, some video store I used to go to in college. I guess they thought I had an overdue video? Anyway, they never sent me any notice about it but yet on my credit report it was listed that I never paid Integral Recovers Inc, who also have never contacted me, some $250. So, about three months ago, I filed a dispute notice with TransUnion, the one credit bureaus report it was listed on, and today I got a nice letter saying they deleted the item. It was all very easy, I just went to annualcreditreport.com, checked my credit report, went to the dispute item area, printed out the one-page form, filled it in saying that I was disputing because I never got any notice about the debt, and mailed it all off. Took less than 10 minutes, tops. Be sure to check your credit report from all three credit bureaus at least once a year for errors and file disputes when information is incorrect. Otherwise, your ability to get credit might be unfairly affected. It's easier and faster than you might think!
Know Where To Fix Your Credit Score By Getting Your Reason Codes
If you want to improve your credit score, a score from 300-850 that lenders use to determine whether you qualify for a loan and how much interest to charge you if you do, you'll want to know your "reason codes." These are 2-digit numbers that come with you credit score when you purchase it. Each bureau usually gives you four reason codes with their report, so get your score from each one for a total of 12. One wiki tutorial says that reason codes are listed in order of importance. Armed with that, The Mechanics Of Credit site decodes all the reason codes and prescribes solutions for each one. With this info and tactics, you should be able to boost your score a couple of points and save a bundle.
Reach Equifax Customer Care
If calling the regular Equifax "customer service" (cough, cough) line at 866-640-2273 doesn't work for you, email@example.com is an email address you can use to try to resolve problems with your Equifax credit report. Equifax really doesn't give a damn about you because you're not its customer, banks and lenders are, but a reader says that he was able to use this email address to get an Extended Fraud Alert that he didn't put on taken off his account. You can also try 404-885-8000, which is a direct line into their Atlanta corporate headquarters.
How Can A Minor Get Their Credit Report?
"Why can't I get my credit report?" one of our 16-year-old readers (obviously precocious in the personal finance responsibility department) wanted to know. It seems if someone under 18 tries to get it online, say through annualcreditreport.com, they're told no. It turns out you can order your report, you just need to do it by an old-fashioned letter. You'll want to to include in your request your name, address, and Social Security number. This is good not just for go-get-em kids like our reader who want to make sure no one is buying a $40,000 boat with their credit, but also parents who want to protect their children from identity theft. The addresses for each of the bureaus follow.
FTC takes heat for giving credit bureaus a special exception that allowed them to make lists of people who just filled out a loan application and sell them as leads to subprime lenders. [USA Today via U.S. PIRG Consumer Blog]
Consumer Wins $2.7 Mil Lawsuit Against Equifax For Screwing Up Her Credit
Angela P. Williams tried for more than a decade to clear up her credit report after Equifax confused her records with those of a person with bad credit but a similar name. The company denied any wrongdoing, right up until the jury awarded a $219,000 verdict in damages against Equifax, and $2.7 million in punitive damages for violating the federal credit-reporting laws. The decision is a victory for frustrated consumers at the mercy of these powerful institutions whose record-keeping errors can ruin innocent lives.

Joe Danger The Movie (or Joe Danger 2)
Posted by Oly in Joe Danger, Joe Danger the Movie, Media on August 10th, 2012
Have you ever run out of the cinema, done a pretend back flip, shot your friends with your fingers and shouted "Ice to meet you"?
Good. This is the game you've been waiting for.
Picking up where the chart topping, award winning "Joe Danger" finished, take the world's most determined stuntman to Hollywood, on the set of the greatest action film ever made. "Joe Danger 2 The Movie" is the game that allows you to out run an avalanche as a skiing secret agent, take on laser spewing robots whilst flying a jetpack, or even become a water-skiing, sky-diving, quad-biking, dinosaur dodging jungle adventurer.
Joe Danger was great fun and this looks to be even better. I'll definitely be picking it up when it is released "Sometime in 2012″.
[Review] Joe Danger
Posted by Jay in Featured, Joe Danger, PS3 Reviews / Vita Reviews on June 14th, 2010
You know you have a real winner on your hands when a game says "Attempt 72" and you haven't gotten overly frustrated. Such was the case with the PSN title, Joe Danger. Developed by Hello Games, a team consisting of four people. It puts you in control of the washed up has-been of a stunt rider, Joe Danger. In this game, your overall goal is to bring him back to his status as a legendary stunt man on the biggest comeback tour of his life. And what a ride it is.

Imagine you're caught speeding — or driving recklessly, or driving without a license — and you appear in traffic court all set to pay the fine. But then the judge tells you that he's not only knocking your offense down to a warning, but also discounting your penalty and collecting the lesser amount as "court costs." You'd probably be very happy. Only problem is, it's probably illegal and it keeps bad drivers on the road. [More]

Self-Described "King Of Infomercials" Found Dead In Jail Cell
If, like me, you're not a stranger to scanning through the meager offerings on late-night TV, you will more than likely recognize TV pitchman Don Lapre, whose numerous get-rich-quick ads became so infamous he was spoofed on Saturday Night Live. They also landed Lapre in an Arizona jail on charges of, among other things, mail fraud and promotional money laundering. And this is where the 47-year-old was found yesterday morning, dead of an apparent suicide. [More]

Alesis Quadraverb
1988, MIDI, Digital Stereo Multi-Effects Unit.
The Quadraverb is a very flexible and controllable multi-effects unit with EQ, reverb, delay, resonator, flanger, phaser, ring modulation etc. The reason my Quad has been such a major part of my music is the midi control; 6 selectable realtime controllers based on which effects you have running in that patch. I have a patch setup especially for this job: Midi controlled reverb and delay; delay time left, delay time right, delay feedback left, delay feedback right, delay input level and reverb input level. What more do you need! Everything starts dry until you bring the delay or reverb input level up via midi. This is an excellent patch for making complex short delay patterns and again you will hear this a lot in my older music.
Unfortuanatly my PC isn't quite as good at midi parameter control as my old Atari was. Maybe it's my soundcard or whatever but the Atari could handle far more midi data simultaniously than my PC can and this is highlighted by the intensive Quadraverb control that I used to use. I want to fix this; see update below.
The presets on the Quad are very good quality and inspiring to flick through. It has flexible routing options and plenty ways to customize the sound. The resonator has 6 channels so you can produce some great pitched sounds with that. I really like the phase shifter too, excellent for using before duby delays in the chain. This unit is also my primary unit for feeding back mono dub delays as it is pure and clean with no detremental colouration. An all round very useful effects rack. I actually have two but the screen on one is totally dead so I just blindly wonder through its presets.
Update March 2012: My hardware effects units are all in hibernation due to the software world - however; I plan to get a soundcard capable of sending/receiving to hardware effects units some day and the Quadraverb is one of the effects racks that I want to be available. I've just spotted replacement screens on eBay for £20 so I will be able to fix those. Also note there are the Quadraverb Plus, Quadraverb GT, Quadraverb 2, and Quadraverb 20 (RRP when new: £899!!) - all look very good indeed but I have never used them.

- Alesis Quadraverb Patcher 1.4 by Karl E Schmidt - (Screenshot)
This is an old program and I havent tested it myself, in the readme file it suggests making another backup before using this so be careful and use this at your own risk.
NEWS: I have a report from Luca in Italy saying that it does work but only under XP/2000 or before; it will not work on Win 7, tested with a Quadraverb Plus and all working: "Midi connections are good but it's very slow and you can manage only single patch!" - Thanks Luca :)
- How do I reinitialize my QuadraVerb?
Power on while holding: "BYPASS" and "PROGRAM". After the usual power-up screens an initialized "Basic Program" will appear at location 00. Clears memory, restores the original factory settings.

Bank Risk Management Including Basel II, II.5 and III – Course in Lagos, Nigeria
Lagos, Nigeria
Risk management is not new. All organisations take on risks during the course of their normal activities; these risks have to be managed. But for banks, as regulated entities, risk management is a more formal activity, as laid out in the new Basel Accord. This requires the banks to introduce new processes, procedures and organisational structures to ensure the efficient management of risk, and to allocate regulatory capital against the major components of the risks.
Course features:
A broad look across risk management
The Basel Accord – what is it, and why do we have it?
Did the Accord work in the current economic crisis – proposed changes
Development of the ICAAP in preparation for your SReP
Creation of a risk framework
How risk management should be organised
The assessment of market risk using both traditional and modern approaches
Credit portfolio management – why is this the new paradigm?
How operational risk is being assessed and managed
The Accord has been implemented – what next?
Who should attend
Risk managers in financial institutions
Rating agency analysts
Financial controllers in large institutions

We found this restaurant by chance after watching the Macy thanking day parade. It was fabulous. Awesome food at great prices. Breakfast is the bomb! We went three mornings in a row and our service was great! They were always packed so be ready to wa it for a table, but it is well worth it. If you go to Time Square, you have to go to Evergreen!
Posted by Mike Carter on 08/08/2014
Since my first trip to NYC around 1997, I have made it a point to eat at the Evergreen Coffee Shop. It was located directly across the street from the now closed Portland Square Hotel where my wife and I stayed. The atmosphere of the Evergreen seemed genuine NYC. The food was excellent in my opinion. By NYC standards the cost was reasonable. I think I've been to NYC 8 or 9 times and each time I make it a point to stop by the Evergreen Coffee Shop. By the way, it is located just off Times Square!

This place has definitely been around a while... which would not be an issue if the food were good. With such a big menu, things must come directly out of the freezer into the microwave.

Just ordered for the first time. Food arrived Quick and Hot! I was so surprised at the amount of food I received! The side salad was fresh mixed greens with plenty of fresh raw vegetables and the pasta was creamy and delicious! Definitely one of my new favorite places to eat in the city.
Posted by Jessica on 12/02/2012
We were so lucky to find this spot. The service was quick and to the point, food came out FAST and it was delicious. The prices were low compared to just about everything else in the area. Only con was the arrangements of tables and seating. It was very crowded and you were almost sitting with the people next to you because they were so close. I didn't mind. Great value, great food! We went every morning.

BELLS, TX - Authorities say a 12 year old boy stabbed a woman last night because he was trying to protect his mother.
The Grayson County Sheriff's Office tells us they got a call just after 9 PM that a woman from Colorado had been stabbed at a home in Bells.
They say she was fighting with the boy's mother when he stabbed her with a pocket knife multiple times.
According to Lt. Ricky Wheeler from the Grayson County Sheriff's Office, "We're looking at several different aspects of this as to actually who was assaulted first between the two females. One was intoxicated and we understand the other one may have had some drug activity in the house."
The woman is being treated at TMC.
She is expected to be ok.
Authorities say no arrests have been made but the case remains under investigation.

One criticism leveled against Take-Two Interactive by analysts is that the company is a one-studio corporation, relying on Rockstar Games to make the company's money while 2K Games and 2K Sports lag behind.
With Take-Two's Irrational Games studio is set to release the much-anticipated BioShock later this month, the publisher today announced a rebranding to "symbolize the studios' further integration into the 2K Games family." Henceforth, Irrational Games' Boston, Massachusetts studio will be 2K Boston, while its offices in Canberra, Australia, will be 2K Australia.
"Irrational Games is widely recognized as one of the most innovative development studios in the world," 2K president Christoph Hartmann said in a statement. "Following their incredible efforts in bringing BioShock to life, we are proud to make the newly renamed Irrational Games studios a cornerstone of our game development family."
It won't be long until gamers can judge those efforts for themselves; BioShock has gone gold for the Xbox 360 and PC and is expected on store shelves August 21 in North America and August 24 in Europe. For more on the game, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

Bob Sima Concert and Workshop
March 29, 2014
Saturday, Workshop 10am - 2pm,
Concert 8pm
Fans of Dave Matthews, Martin Sexton, David Grey, Jack Johnson, James Taylor, will love the music of Bob Sima.
"Bob Sima's music is a living experience worthy of sharing with the world. Each song will speak directly to you, often being the inspiration or motivation that will touch your heart, challenge your mind, and nourish your soul. The beauty of Bob Sima's music is its eternal imprint that shifts and expands as you grow and evolve, always supporting your personal transformation and delivering the timeless and universal messages that you need at any given moment."
~Fan Testimonial
About "Then Sings My Soul" Workshop
Whether you already consider yourself a "creative" or whether you want to ignite the creative energy that everyone has within, you will want to be present for this experiential workshop. You will actively participate in individual and shared exercises to awaken and energize your song. What makes your soul sing? Who makes your soul sing? How does your soul sing?

It goes way beyond music and straight to the glow in your heart.
**Please bring a bag lunch, as this class will include a short 'working lunch' break." **
About Bob Sima
When Bob Sima opens his mouth to sing what comes out is far beyond the human sounds of a warm and soulful voice. Beyond the songs, beyond the voice, beyond the stories. Yes...there's more. A lesson, a nudge, a reminder, of the simple splendor of this place and these experiences we all share. The unique beauty is his presentation of these ancient messages - the conversations he has with the master teachers of the universe - in music that lives and breathes across generations. Bob has been called "Eckhart Tolle with a guitar" and his music truly heals and expands the heart. What draws you in is his ability to share these insights in a way that grabs your listening ear, inspires your beating heart, awakens your inner spirit, and transforms your most intimate desires. He is a poet, observer, scribe, and healer - all divinely bundled as a singing, songwriting transformative energy. His gift of music is a magnifying glass to the soul, each song sincere and worth repeating for a lifetime. The seemingly casual fashion that Bob makes his guitar speak is not coincidentally right in rhythm with all of the toes tapping, tears dripping, and hands clapping in the room. Bob truly moves his audiences - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Bob is a different kind of musician and songwriter, with distinctive dreams and aspirations for his audience. Bob is more influenced by the likes of Rumi and Gandhi than he is by Dylan and Springsteen. Part of Bob's music mission states the following: "Each and every song I channel begins as my personal conversation with Source delivered as life lessons of spiritual growth and transformation. Just as these conversations birth expansion, awakening, and remembrance in me, I share my gift to soften the hardest of hearts, widen the narrowest of smiles, loosen the tightest of grips, lighten the heaviest of loads, and thin the thickest of walls of as many souls as I can possibly reach." Bob is a nationally touring and award-winning singer-songwriter who most recently won a Positive Music Award through emPower Music & Arts for his song "How You Made Them Feel", captured "Show of the Year" at RamsHead OnStage in Annapolis MD, and received the Positive Music Association's Seal of Excellence for his album Thin Little Veil.
