An accomplished and externally recognized medicinal chemist and scientific manager, I have directly impacted diverse projects within academia and the pharmaceutical industry and contributed to projects at all stages of the drug discovery process, including target identification and validation, lead optimization, and preclinical DMPK, efficacy, and toxicity optimization. Here at Vanderbilt, I have led and participated in hit discovery, hit-to-lead, and lead optimization campaigns for both fragment-based and HTS-derived compounds. I am also the Scientific Coordinator and co-PI of Vanderbilt's center within the NCI's NExT consortium, which is charged with utilizing the collaborative resources of the consortium to discovery new drugs for novel cancer targets. Prior to joining Vanderbilt, I was a member of a number of multidisciplinary teams charged with prosecuting cancer targets at GlaxoSmithKline. During this time I discovered the chemical series that led directly to the B-Raf inhibitor dabrafenib and was an integral member of a team that placed this molecule into clinical investigation.

Research Specialty
Oncology medicinal chemistry and drug discovery
Research Description
My interests lie in the application of synthetic organic chemistry to questions of biological importance. I been engaged for the last decade in medicinal chemistry toward primarily oncology related drug discovery efforts. Previous experience with the pharmaceutical industry included a key role in the discovery of dabrafenib, currently in Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of B-Raf positive metastatic melanoma.
Currently, I lead the medicinal chemistry team of the Fesik cancer drug discovery group. We employ fragment based drug discovery techniques to discover inhibitors of "undruggable" protein-protein interactions that are important for the future discovery of cancer therapeutics. The team evaluates and optimizes hits from NMR-based fragment screens as well as HTS campaigns toward such proteins. Using concepts of structure-based drug design, we seek to grow these fragments hits and/or link them together to synthesize optimized inhibitor molecules. These molecules may become the basis for cancer drugs in the future.

Slow Motion: 2 EXPLODING BUSES
- Uploaded by sundoom on Dec 25, 2012
- Views: 87
Two buses blown up at the same time using 2 types of ammonium nitrate-based explosives. (10# in each one) I am not exactly clear which bus had what and some of the details about the explosives are sketchy at best. The announcer himself was a little unclear when he explained it, if you listen carefully.-Distance from the buses was about 1/4 of a mile.-Cameras: Casio EXF1 Pro's, 300 and 600 frames per second.

BISMARCK—North Dakota lawmakers reached a compromise on Wednesday regarding the state's Centers of Excellence and child care funding.
The Commerce Department's budget provides $3.1 million for child care grants for work force development, quality improvement, capacity building and technical assistance. The Department of Human Services will award the grants.
The bill also allocates $12 million for Centers of Research Excellence. This provides $4 million for grants related to limited deployment-cooperative airspace projects, with $2.7 million for the University of North Dakota and $1.3 million for North Dakota State University.
Another $4 million each will go to NDSU and UND. Of UND's money, $3 million is for base realignment grants for infrastructure or enhancement of economic development and employment opportunities.
The budget also allocates $1.5 million for work force enhancement grants.
There is also $1 million for investments in startup technology-based businesses, $750,000 for tourism infrastructure grants and $300,000 for the Bismarck IDEA Center, a not-for-profit organization assisting individuals with business ideas.
The budget includes $600,000 to assist in the acquisition of the antiballistic missile site in Nekoma. There is also $150,000 for the American Indian Business Development Office.
The compromise bill sets aside $150,000 for an electronic portfolio pilot project at Valley City State University and the North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton.
The multimedia website would allow students to showcase their education and skills to potential employers.
In addition, $50,000 is provided for the North Dakota Economic Development Foundation 2020 and Beyond initiative. Private and public officials will study successful models of other states and countries for creating economic to see if they could be applied here.
The committee will also evaluate the effectiveness of programs and investments in the state designed to develop the state's workforce and to attract and retain businesses. Another goal is to consider what new investments in infrastructure and changes to taxes and regulations could be made to increase the state's standing as a business-friendly state.
Operation Intern received $900,000. Legislators also changed the application process so companies can apply for funding more than once per biennium, said Sen. Tony Grindberg, R-Fargo.
The continuation of the biofuel blender pump incentive program is also part of the final bill. The Department of Commerce will provide cost-share grants of up to $20,000 per retailer for the installation of biofuel blender pumps and up to $14,000 to install associated equipment, including the piping systems and storage.
The conference committee eliminated a state energy director from the budget, a position requested by the governor.
The bill also no longer includes a study of gas flaring issues, but now has a study of early childhood services provider training and assistance. Another study of the impact of future population growth on state and local government revenues is also included.
The bill must now go to both chambers for final review.

Create a Curriculum Map
Aligning Curriculum with Student Learning Outcomes
The purpose of a curriculum alignment matrix
After the student learning outcomes (SLOs) are developed for the program, the next step in program assessment is to develop the program SLO curriculum alignment matrix. This matrix lists the SLOs against the courses in the program. In each cell, the faculty identify where each SLO is introduced, practiced, or mastered. Then it becomes very clear where assessment of student learning should occur.
The outcomes/course matrix becomes the basis of the assessment plan. With this, faculty and/or assessment coordinator can determine what student artifact or work sample (signature assignment or other assignment(s)) can be used to measure progress towards the SLO and/or when the assessment will take place. In addition, the matrix will help point out any gaps in the curriculum. As you build and review your curriculum alignment matrix, ask the following questions:
The exercise of building and reviewing a curriculum alignment matrix encourages reflection on the curriculum as a whole and can lead to better integration among courses.
What does a curriculum map/matrix look like?
Very simply, it's a table with one column for each learning outcome and one row for each course or required event/experience (or vice versa: each row contains a course and each column lists a learning outcome). Faculty identify where key learning outcomes are introduced (I), reinforced with the opportunity to practice (R or P), and where mastery (M) is achieved at the senior or exit level.When the matrix is complete, the program can identify where assessment evidence (A) should be gathered.In addition to courses, faculty should include any other required events/experiences (e.g., internships, department symposium, national licensure exams).
What are some best practices?
Example One: Excerpt from a hypothetical Biology program curriculum matrix*
Key: "I"=Introduced; "R"=reinforced and opportunity to practice; "M"=mastery at the senior or exit level; "A"=assessment evidence collected
Example Two: A program with multiple paths to the degree*

The trail leading to Half Dome begins from the Happy Isles Trailhead. It follows the paved trail to the footbridge at the base of Mist Trail. Hikers should follow Mist Trail along the Merced River to Nevada Falls overlook. The details of this trek are available in the Mist Trail and Nevada Falls Trail Descriptions.
Above Nevada Falls follow the John Muir Trail past Liberty Cap, along the Merced River into Little Yosemite Valley. It is one mile along the John Muir Trail from Liberty Cap to a fork in the trail. The right fork leads to Little Yosemite backcountry camp. Follow the left side of the fork as it leads through Little Yosemite Valley. In another mile the John Muir Trail splits from the Half Dome Trail. The elevation at this point is 7,000 feet.
It is two miles to Half Dome summit from this split in the trail. The first mile and a quarter consists of a well-shaded climb. Emerging from the trees the northeast face of Half Dome becomes visible. The elevation at this point is approximately 8,000 feet. (The summit of Half Dome is 8,842 feet.)
The trail continues to climb to the summit of a nearby dome. Granite stairs were carved along this ascent. They include many switchbacks on an exposed trail with lots of loose gravel. Beyond the stairs the trail traverses the dome then descends slightly to the shoulder of Half Dome where the cable climb begins. This climb leads hikers up a 30 percent grade of smooth granite.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Police say that a teenager who survived a car crash with a big rig was killed as he tried to escape traffic on the freeway where the accident happened.
The incident on Interstate 5 in Los Angeles was reported to the California Highway Patrol at 4:20 a.m. Saturday.
The 18-year-old was a passenger in a Honda Accord that crashed with the truck, and came to a rest blocking the two left lanes.
As he tried to get to safety, the teenager was fatally struck by another vehicle, which did not stop.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities say they do not have information on the vehicle that killed the teenager, who was a resident of Santa Clarita.

Wyndham, Sugar Bay Resort parting ways
Published: July 2, 2011
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
ST. THOMAS - The Wyndham Sugar Bay Resort & Spa is dropping its affiliation with the Wyndham brand next week.
"Wyndham and the owner have agreed that the Sugar Bay property will no longer be branded as a Wyndham resort after July 7," Evy Apostolatos, director of public relations for Wyndham Hotel Group, said in a written statement Friday.
The terms of the agreement are confidential, Apostolatos said and provided no additional information.
The St. Thomas property has been managed by Wyndham since 1994.
Excluding Sugar Bay, six Caribbean hotels are under the Wyndham flag, including properties in Jamaica, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, and the Bahamas.
Sugar Bay originally was developed by Kirsch American Inns Inc., which developed what is now Marriott's Frenchman's Reef Beach Resort as well.
Sugar Bay was sold in 1994, and after hurricane Marilyn badly damaged the property in 1995 it was sold again to The Moinan Group. The hotel reopened in 1996 after extensive renovations and Wyndam remained as the manager of the property.

Rewriting History: Splits, Consolidations & Rights Issues
As part of our research when assessing prospective share purchases it is important to look at trends in certain key figures and ratios across a number of years. In particular, dividend investors are usually keen to see a history of increasing dividends per share over several years as this gives some confidence not only that the company has been performing well, but also that dividends are viewed by the directors as an important part of their shareholders' return.
Although the continuing payment of dividends is not a legal obligation – in fact it is totally at the discretion of the directors – it is often considered to be a "moral" commitment by the company to at least maintain, and preferably grow the annual payout. To cut the dividend is not only frowned upon by shareholders, but it is an admission of poor performance by the company or concern about its near term prospects or financial health. It is also often thought that such a moral commitment grows deeper within the company's culture the longer the period over which the company has continued to grow or maintain its dividend, as well as being prima facie evidence that a company can weather different macro environments and business cycles.
So we might often hear reference to so-called "dividend heroes" which have continuously maintained or raised their dividend payouts over many years. For us to establish dividend growth and earnings growth histories we need to look at the company's archive of annual reports, although when we do so we need to exercise great care over any historical per share figures. When there have been changes to the issued share capital of a company which had no impact upon its financial resources, then certain adjustments to such historical figures may be required. Very often investors will misquote the financial history of a company if they fail to pick up on such adjustments and therefore this is an important point to bear in mind when carrying out research.
The changes in share capital to look out for are as follows:
- Share splits
- Share consolidations
- Bonus issues
- Bonus element of other issues such as rights issues
Share splits
Occasionally, after a company has enjoyed many years of profit growth and its shares rise very strongly, each of its shares could become worth tens, hundreds or even thousands of pounds. As a result the company may decide that it wants to improve liquidity in the shares by increasing the number of shares in circulation with a corresponding reduction in the value of each share. So for example if each share is priced at £50 then the company could could split each share into ten so that each new share would then in theory be priced at £5. Clearly, there is no overall change in value.
An example of a share split is when Chemring (LSE: CHG) announced a 5 for 1 split in 2011. When I carried out some research on the company for a recent article I had to ensure that all of the historical earnings per share and dividends per share figures prior to the split were therefore divided by 5 for comparability.
Share consolidations
A share consolidation, sometimes referred to as a "reverse share split", is occasionally seen when the opposite happens i.e. a share falls dramatically in price and becomes worth only pennies. The company may try to reduce volatility in the share price by, for example, replacing ten shares with only one, thereby inflating the price of each new share by ten times.
An example of this was seen with Royal Bank Of Scotland (RBS) in 2012. After the banking crisis when the company's shares fell to less than 20p, RBS announced a '1 for 10′ share consolidation. Readers may remember seeing the RBS share price increase ten fold on the day the consolidation took effect – hopefully without getting too excited!
Bonus issues
A bonus issue, sometimes also referred to as a "scrip issue" or "capitalisation issue" has the same practical effect as a share split in that it increases the number of shares in circulation without calling upon the shareholders for additional monies, thereby again reducing the value of each share accordingly. The only difference between the two is how they are treated for accounting and legal purposes: a bonus issue creates new shares by reducing the amount of the profit and loss reserve i.e. it is just re-allocating the existing shareholder equity from one pocket to the other.
Rights issues
Rights issues are the more complicated one and result in a less obvious adjustment, therefore I will go into more detail below.
Rights issues are a method by which companies can raise additional capital through the issue of new shares, for example if it needs to raise funds for growth or acquiring another company, or to repay borrowings to strengthen its balance sheet – the latter being fairly common in recent years. They are different to share placements in that they preserve the "pre-emption rights" of all shareholders i.e. the existing shareholders are given the option to subscribe for the new shares proportionately to their holdings, thereby maintaining their percentage share of the company.
As stated above however, the only type of share adjustment we need to worry about is those which do not result in a change in the company's financial resources. Although rights issues do require shareholders to pay out for their new shares, the "problem" arises in the fact that the cost of subscribing for the new shares is at a discount to the current market price which is done in order to make the issue appear more attractive.
As a result of this discount, a rights issue is, in effect, equivalent to a combination of shares paid for at the market price and shares received for free. The latter element is therefore similar to a bonus issue and so it is usually referred to as "the bonus element of the rights issue". The trick then is to try to calculate the correct adjustment factor in order to make our adjustments to the per share histories as we do with splits and consolidations.
As with splits, this adjustment will result in a reduction in our earnings per share and dividends per share histories, although usually it is far more subtle a change, often in the range of a 10-25% reduction. But if we don't take this adjustment factor into account it may appear to us that there has been a small drop in earnings or dividends; and the apparent "dividend cut" might put prospective investors off a company which actually has a record of dividend increases.
The adjustment factor for the bonus element of a rights issue is calculated as follows:
share price prior to going ex-rights ÷ theoretical ex-rights price per share
Where "ex rights" refers to when the shares lose their right to subscribe to the rights issue (in the same way we refer to the "ex dividend" date for when a share loses the right to a dividend).
If that's about as clear as mud, don't worry, we will have a look at a worked example below.
Rights issue worked example: Imperial Tobacco
The following table shows the dividend history of Imperial Tobacco (LSE: IMT) from 2000-2012, both before and after taking into account adjustments due to rights issues:
During the period shown IMT had two rights issues, one in 2002 and one in 2008. Circled in red we can see the effect of these on the actual dividend payouts in those years due to the increased numbers of shares in issue: in 2002 a very small increase; and in 2008 a reduction, both of which are in contrast to the double digit increases in almost every other year. The adjusted figures however show a record of continuous growth and an increase in the 12 year compounded annual growth rate from 10.5% to 13.6%.
If we take the figures for 2007, the year before the last rights issue, the adjustment factor is a reduction of approximately 1.15. Let's see if we can work out how to arrive at this number.
Firstly we need to start with the details of the rights issue by looking at IMT's rights issue announcement here. This gives us the following details:
- 1 new share is to be issued for every 2 existing shares (a '1 for 2′ rights issue);
- the subscription price of each new share is 1,475p;
- the last day before the shares go ex-rights is 20th May 2008; and
- the new shares will trade without the right to the interim dividend of 24p.
So we now need to work out the figures in the equation given above:
share price prior to going ex-rights ÷ theoretical ex-rights price per share
The share price prior to going ex-rights can be found by looking up the historical price on 20th May 2008 which was 2,455p. Note that this was significantly higher than the 1,475p subscription price for the rights issue. Given that the new shares were to trade without the right to the interim dividend we must also deduct 24 pence to get to the ex-dividend price, giving us our numerator of 2,431p.
Now for the denominator: the theoretical ex-rights price. This is calculated by taking the weighted average price of the existing shares (calculated above) and the new shares taking into account the price payable for the latter of 1,475p. So we get:
Theoretical ex-rights price per share = {(2 x 2,431p) + (1 x 1,475p)} ÷ 3 = 2,112p
So, the adjustment factor for the bonus element of the rights issue is 2,431p ÷ 2,112p = 1.151. This means that any "per share" ratio, such as dividends per share or earnings per share, needs to be divided by 1.151 for each and every period or year looked at prior to the rights issue.
Nil paid rights
All the above is of course a bit theoretical and it can be hard to relate this 'adjustment factor' to real life, but there is another way to think about it. We have worked out that the price of the shares should trade ex rights for 2,112p. Given that we have the right to subscribe for shares for 1,475p, these rights have value and the shareholder can instead elect not to hand over any money and instead simply sell their 'nil paid rights'. In this case they are worth the ex rights price of 2,112p less the subscription price of 1,475p, i.e. 637p.
So say we held 2,000 shares in IMT, we could just sell the 1,000 nil paid rights and pocket 637p x 1,000 = £6,370 instead of putting new money into the deal. We could invest this amount wherever we wanted to, but say we actually chose to buy further IMT shares with it, we could afford £6,370/2,112p = 301 shares. So simply assuming a cash neutral transaction (excluding costs for this purpose) we could end up with 2301 shares, or 1.15 times more than before i.e. our adjustment factor calculated above. We can therefore see that this is similar in effect to the share split.
(Note: a commonly used cash neutral transaction is to sell enough rights to take up the remainder of the rights. This is, rather amusingly, known as 'swallowing your tail').
Practical application for investors
I know what you're thinking: "my gosh, I hope I don't have to do that as it's a real pain the a***". And I agree with you there!
As it happens, with respect to the example given above, IMT's investor relations department have been incredibly helpful as the dividend history on their website actually gives us the adjusted figures taking into account the 2002 and 2008 rights issues – see here.
Sometimes companies also present a 5 or 10 year review in their annual report which may make such adjustments. An example of this is RPC Group (LSE: RPC) whose 2012 accounts (pdf file) helpfully present a 10 year summary of figures (see page 106). Below the table they state:
Comparative figures for earnings per share and dividends per share have been restated after adjusting for the bonus element of the 5 for 8 rights issue in 2011."
But not all companies are this helpful and it can be difficult to pick up on all of these share capital adjustments. The financial databases of the popular investing websites tend to be quite good at picking up the splits and consolidations, but I have found that rights issues are either not adjusted for, or the adjustments are sketchy and not applied consistently across the whole history. One tip here is to look at the number of shares in issue from year to year and see whether there has been a material increase or decrease. If so, look into it in more detail in the annual report to see whether it was as a result of any of the processes referred to above.
So that just leaves me to wish you all a Happy New Year. Don't forget though, it doesn't mean that prior years won't need to be rewritten at some point in time!

|Diastolic time during low-level exercise in the late phase of hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2766819 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|To evaluate DT during a low-level exercise test, the relation between DT and heart rate was studied by ear densitography in the late phase of hospitalization for acute MI. None of the patients had an ischemic electrocardiographic response. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 was comprised of nine patients with a resting left ventricular end-diastolic volume of 140 ml or more, and group 2 was comprised of nine patients with a left ventricular end-diastolic volume less than 140 ml. The QS2 and heart rate had an linear inverse relation during exercise, and DT and heart rate had an nonlinear inverse relation (DT = e(7.27-0.0166 x heart rate) and DT = e(7.11-0.0142 x heart rate) for groups 1 and 2, respectively). Significant prolongation of the QS2 with consequent shortening of DT (p less than 0.05) was observed in group 1. Thus, in addition to a larger decrease in DT with a small change in heart rate, particularly during low-level exercise, patients with increased left ventricular end-diastolic volume have a potential for initiating subendocardial ischemia which results in further prolongation of systole and, hence, greater abbreviation of DT.

In July, the Treasury Department released a study cataloguing the ways our deplorable tax code restricts U.S. competitiveness. "Our tax system," it said, "disrupts and distorts a vast array of business and investment decisions" that "lowers the productive capacity of the economy and reduces living standards." Ultimately, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson explained, "our workers pay the price."
Paulson wants lawmakers on Capitol Hill to follow the lead of other industrialized nations and lower U.S. corporate tax rates. He also advocates pruning the corporate code of "complex, targeted provisions; depreciation schedules without clear rationale; taxation of capital income that discourages saving and investment; and, double taxation of corporate profits that can lead to misallocation of capital." Why? According to the Tax Foundation, the top U.S. corporate rate of 39.3% (the combined federal and state rate) is second only to Japan's 39.5% top rate. This decades-old trend accelerated in 2006 when five large industrialized countries cut their corporate income tax rates further; eight more, including Germany, plan to do so by January.
Paulson's message must have reached Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), who chairs the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, but apparently, it only penetrated the supply side of his brain. Last week he unveiled an ambitious, but schizophrenic, tax-reform plan that is downright Reaganesque (for the most part) on corporate taxation, but succumbs to the siren song of class warfare on individual taxation.
Rangel targets "unfairness" in the tax code, especially the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Created in 1969, Congress enacted the AMT to extract tax payments from wealthy individuals who were using legal deductions to avoid all income tax liability. The AMT cancels many popular tax deductions for high-income filers.
But, because Congress didn't index the AMT to inflation, it has begun to ensnare more and more unsuspecting taxpayers. Last year, it hit 4 million; by 2010, one in three taxpayers could be paying this "millionaires" tax.
Rangel is right: The AMT must go.
But when tax policy threatens to disrupt the oxygen supply of the modern welfare state, liberals don their boxing gloves. This accidental tax, after all, will accidentally raise close to $1 trillion over the next decade. Liberals won't return those dollars to the taxpayers without a fight.

We stayed there for a week and will NEVER go back or recommend this place. The owner is a nice Thai lady who is an excellent cook. Her ex-husband, Frank, remains there in a small room for many years since their divorce. I first visited this place 6 years ago and they were both pleasant back then.
After MANY years or serious daily alcohol abuse, Frank has become quite abusive himself, as most alcoholics do after MANY years of too much DAILY whiskey. He insists on having what is basically an open-air bar at night for fellow alcoholics, playing LOUD music playing with tota;l disregard for the peace and quiet of the paying renters.
If this was not enough bothersome noise, they allow local school drop-out kids (most 12-15 yr old boys) to come daily to swim and basically take-over the entire common pool area. All this disruption for a few baht!
The room was very small and dirty. The cleaning lady has no idea how to really clean a room.
For all cooking, ice and drinking water they just boil the tap water. Any traveler who has done any Thai research knows that the water is good ONLY for the toilet and cleaning... NEVER for drinking, cooking or ice. Frnak's excuse was, "I've been drinking it for 20 years and not died yet." It is, oc couse, a well known FACT that the local Issan water is LOADED with carcinogens and it may take many years for cancer to show up.
Highly NON-recommended!

Bravo had already sunk its meaty hooks into us with the delicious thrill of watching fashion designers and chefs compete for fame and fortune, so a show where aspiring interior designers vied for the same thing in the same manner seemed like a natural. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, nothing — save for twelve not-all-that-interesting contestants, wildly inconsistent judging, and a dismissal catchphrase so forced and banal, it had us running toward the exits after the first show. But we toughed it out for the entire ten-episode first season, and you, the train-wreck-loving public, are the richer for it.
The fact that this underwhelming drama from Tim Kring made us miss Kiefer Sutherland in 24 wasn't a surprise. But it even made us nostalgic for Heroes. Season 4. Yes.
Tough Enough
Once again, we learned that TWoP's demographics and those of the WWF don't really have much overlap (a lesson we should have learned from our brief foray into recapping WWF Smackdown!). The recaps were tough, but the readership wasn't quite enough.
Trading Spaces
Who knew it would turn out to be the televisual equivalent of a tapeworm? It seemed like a fun little makeover show, but this series was one cautionary tale after another, with lessons galore for fame whores and hapless homeowners and deluded designers. Deborah, Kim, and a passel of substitute recappers strove mightily to cope with the onslaught of paint, MDF, fabric, attitude, and hay — yes, hay — but eventually, the greed of TV execs got totally out of hand. TWoP decided to use the money it cost to cover this show's bloated schedule to buy all the recappers TiVos and gold-plated remote controls instead. We're sure the cast and crew will have a lovely time redecorating the Permanent Hiatus floor of TWoP Towers.
Tru Calling
This horrid show revolved around a supernaturally dumb morgue intern who relives days in order to save lives suffered from stupid, obvious plots; cringe-inducing dialogue; one-dimensional characters; and non-existent direction. It was ignored by critics and beaten regularly by wrestling on UPN. And then it was inexplicably picked up for a full season, prompting TWoP to cancel the recaps on the off-chance the folks at FOX had somehow forgotten how that facet of the industry works and needed a demonstration.
True Blood
True Detective
Twin Peaks
Back when network television still gave an absolute lunatic a chance to make a difference, David Lynch created a television show intended to revolutionize the one-hour drama. And it did, because after this show got canceled, no network exec ever wanted to see one again. Kyle McLachlan and Lara Flynn Boyle made it out with only a few scars, but the rest of the cast got lost in an obscurity that can only be relived here.
Not nearly twisted enough. Guess they can't all be Pretty Little Liars.

Although there are many qualified students entering traditional campus and online nursing degree programs, there simply isn't enough instructors nor are there enough spaces to fulfill the current nursing shortage. This is due to the current economic crisis and lack of funding in schools, as well as fewer students willing to take on the financial burden of student loans and the credit card debt that they would incur to further their education. Even if there were enough spaces for interested nursing applicants, instructors are not as readily available as they have been in years past. Nursing instructors need to have a Bachelors degree at a minimum, with a Masters degree being preferable, in order to instruct. There are not enough nurses pursuing their higher degrees to overcome the demand.
Working nurses in the midst of this crisis deal with increased stress, fatigue, and an overwhelming sense of helplessness at never quite being enough for their patients.
Working nurses in the midst of this crisis deal with increased stress, fatigue, and an overwhelming sense of helplessness at never quite being enough for their patients.
New nursing grads are almost guaranteed to go through long periods of exhaustion and burn out. They work tremendous hours, and have the added stress of being the full support team for their patients. Whereas doctors simply examine and move on, nurses are required to be dedicated to the care of their patients. New nurses find that they have a very high patient to nurse ratio, and it would almost seem impossible to keep up with the demands of each patient over your shift if you have 5 people ailing to 1 nurse. Not only do they juggle many patients, they provide more over all care to their patients than physicians. The job is all encompassing, and put together with long hours and 2 week long stints without a day off, our new nurses are experiencing tremendous stress and pressure from the nursing shortage.
Extra burden is placed on nursing graduates, as their aging supervisors get ready for retirement. It's no secret in the US that the retirement of the large majority of baby boomers will put a huge strain on health care. Nurses getting ready to retire don't have ready replacements in new graduates.
How do we lessen the burden on our new fleet of nurses? The only solution is to educate more nurses. In order to do so, we need to free up more spots in educational institutions. Our aging nurse population needs to focus on fulfilling educational supervisory roles as opposed to maintaining employment in the hospitals. Hospitals themselves need to put a heavy focus on restructuring within the hospital to diminish the impact of the shortage on individual nurses.
The nursing shortage is a vicious circle of stress, fatigue, and an overwhelming sense of helplessness at never quite being enough for their patients. Although many will say they are fulfilled by their careers, the sense that the job is never quite complete may never leave them. Perhaps with the new Government health care initiatives, the solution to the crisis is right around the corner.

As a victim of bullying, 15-year-old Maurice Brown of Holland endured endless name calling and persecution from classmates. He had begun to feel that life was hopeless. And then he found the strength and courage to speak up for himself. He and Abria Franklin, 12, of Holland, were named Mr. and Ms. Juneteenth, respectively, Saturday at Kollen Park during the 13th annual festival celebrating African-American culture.
As a victim of bullying, 15-year-old Maurice Brown of Holland endured endless name calling and persecution from classmates. He had begun to feel that life was hopeless.
And then he found the strength and courage to speak up for himself.
His powerful spoken-word speech about finding self-worth in the midst of being constantly bullied had an uplifting effect on the few hundred spectators gathered Saturday afternoon for the 13th annual Juneteenth festival at Kollen Park.
Brown and Abria Franklin, 12, of Holland, were named Mr. and Ms. Juneteenth, respectively, after participating in the pageant for males and females that has become an integral part of the weekend-long celebration of African-American culture.
"I wasn't even expecting to win," said Brown, who told the audience about classmates tormenting and fabricating lies about him on Facebook during the talent contest. "I just did it for the experience. I just wanted to share that message. I looked at it as an opportunity to better my chances for a great future.
"Winning makes it even better."
His struggle to overcome bullying in school mirrored the message behind Juneteenth, referring to June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation two years after it was supposed to have freed slaves.
"It's a validation of our freedom," said Theenda "Cookie" Yarbrough, executive director of the Juneteenth festival and Holland's African American Awareness and Development Organization. "Our youth need to know about this. I didn't find out about Juneteenth until I was in my 30s, but it's so important for them.
"The children are the next generation. If they don't learn about this, then it'll die."
The festival spotlighted three days of events, beginning with the Juneteenth stage production "Why We Celebrate!" at Holland Civic Theater on Thursday night.
The pageant was held Thursday, but winners weren't announced until Saturday's proceedings at Kollen Park amid cool temperatures and an overcast sky.
"I was shocked. I had no clue I was going to win," said Franklin, who'll be an eighth grader at Holland High School in the fall. "It was a really good experience. I learned I have more confidence and that it's important to commit to things.
"You try your best to succeed."
Katrina Clayton, 17, who'll be a senior at Holland High in the fall, finished runner-up in the pageant.
Camay Morgan, 15, was named Top Model in the junior division.
Morgan, who'll be a sophomore at Calvary Christian in the fall, is hoping to pursue a career in modeling.
"I really liked it. It was just so fun," she said of the Juneteenth pageant. "The adrenaline of walking the runway was great. It was just a great experience. It's so inspirational. It's about how much everything has changed in our culture. It brings people together."
Page 2 of 2 - Charelle Groves of Holland finished runner-up in the Top Model junior competition. She'll be a sophomore at Grand Rapids Community College in the fall.
Shamarri Burt, 10, of Holland, took the Top Model pre-teen title. O'Mya McSpadden, 10, of Holland, finished runner-up. Both will be sixth graders at Jefferson Elementary in the fall.
Brown, who will be a sophomore at Holland High in the fall, said the importance of Juneteenth is that it helps him appreciate and understand where he comes from.
"It's important to me because I like to embrace my African-American heritage," he said. "It's a source of pride for me."

BOSTON (AP) - A man arrested outside Secretary of State John Kerry's Boston home over the weekend is headed to court.
State Department security officers spotted the man parked in a no-parking zone Sunday afternoon and called police.
Police say the man, 29-year-old Vladimir Romanov of Boston, told security officers he was taking pictures to show a friend. When asked to move his vehicle, he said he'd been drinking.
Kerry spokesman Glen Johnson issued a statement saying the man was taking pictures of a window in Kerry's house. He says a pellet gun was found in the vehicle.
Kerry, a former U.S. senator from Massachusetts, was not home.
Prosecutors say Romanov is scheduled to be arraigned Monday on a charge of having an open container of alcohol. The district attorney's office says no lawyer is listed for him.

"If it's Bible you want, then you want Multnomah!"
With Dr. Sutcliffe and Dr. Mitchell, Dr. Aldrich founded Multnomah School of the Bible and served as its first registrar. During Multnomah's first year, he became engaged to the dean of women, Doris Coffin. He pastored Emmanuel Baptist Church in Vancouver, Wash. In 1940, Dr. Aldrich resigned from faculty and was absent from Multnomah for two years. He returned as an instructor in 1942 and became president in 1943 at Dr. Sutcliffe's retirement. After Doris died, he married Multnomah alumna Mildred "Mimi" Boukaert in 1959. Dr. Aldrich and Mimi were married 47 years until her death in 2006. Dr. Aldrich served as Multnomah's president until 1978. He subsequently served on the board of trustees until his retirement in 2004 and was an Honorary Life Member. Dr. Aldrich died from natural causes on Nov. 26, 2009. He was 100 years old.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama Senate is spending a third
day debating legislation that would create a $1 billion highway
construction program.
Democratic proponents of the bill took the Senate microphone
Tuesday to talk at length about the bill. Republican opponents
talked about it for two days last week.
The bill would take $100 million per year for 10 years from a
state savings account called the Alabama Trust Fund. Democratic
Sen. Lowell Barron of Fyffe said that would fund the construction
of roads in every county.
Road builders parked bulldozers and other heavy equipment in
front of the Statehouse on Tuesday to show their support.

|Changes in neutrophil functions during a 10-month soccer season and their effects on the physical condition of professional Japanese soccer players.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22362645 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|We examined changes in neutrophil function of soccer players over a 10-month period and determined its effectiveness as an index for athlete physical condition. Subjects included 21 male professional Japanese soccer players. Data on body composition, myogenic enzymes and neutrophil function were obtained before and after 2 h of training at 3 investigation points: one week before opening season, at season mid-point, and one week before the last game of the season. As a result, change ratios of myogenic enzyme levels before and after the 2-hr training session at the third investigation point were significantly higher compared to the two other points. Reactive oxygen species production and phagocytic activity significantly increased after 2-hr training session at point 1, although the extent of the increase became smaller over time and ROS production capability decreased significantly by point 3 assessment. Fatigue, especially muscle fatigue, chronically accumulated along with a gradual decrease in neutrophil immune function over the 10-month season. Therefore, determination of neutrophil function can be used as a useful index to assess and understand an athlete's physical condition. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The New Kids on the Block were rocking the iHeartRadio Theater on Thursday night when boy bander Jonathan Knight decided to exit the show.
While screaming fans were enjoying Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight and Danny Wood, Jonathan "looked uncomfortable," reports Hollywood Life's Emily Longeretta, who was at the show.
"I noticed from the front row that Jonathan Knight seemed out of it. While the men started their choreographed dances, Jonathan stood uncomfortably in the background - actually just standing and texting on his phone during the performance." ...

Don't EVER go here! WARNING!!! We paid $2,593.57.00 to have our transmission rebuilt, and told it would last 100,000 miles. It broke down 4 months later after 6,700 miles, on VACATION! We had to have it towed in Alabama, get a rental car, none of which we have gotten back! It was fixed by Aamco near Foley, Alabama, and has FAILED a SECOND TIME, after only 19,000 miles. We are once again in a rental car and have been quoted $2,700.00 by Humble Transmission. Summary: Original Repair FAIL, Rental Car expenses incurred, Towing Expenses incurred, VACATION RUINED....do yourself a favor....GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
5. On Friday, May 21st, 2010 the transmission failed a SECOND time after only 19,900 miles of normal driving since the Jubilee Services repair and only 26,600 miles of driving since the March 2009 installation.
6. The vehicle was returned to Humble Transmission on Monday May 24, 2010. It was determined by Humble Transmission that multiple transmission part failures had once again occurred. We are left having to pay $2,700.00 AGAIN, plus the rental car expenses, AGAIN, to restore a transmission for a third (3rd) time in only 26,600 miles and 14 months of normal driving.
7. The OWNER, Mr. Jay Streckfuss is holding to the original 12 month warranty.
8. I believe Humble Transmission misrepresented the standards, quality and grade of the goods sold, which I believe is a violation of Texas Business and Commerce Code Section 17.46.

Dubai is rapidly becoming one of the more attractive destinations for UK expats. Boasting unparalleled economic growth it is a city aflame with entrepreneurial spirit and opportunity for the enterprising. It also offers a completely different environment from the UK, scorching weather, vastly different language, religion, laws and customs.
Those willing to integrate though will find Dubai very welcoming, much more diverse than one might initially expect and much more affordable than the UK. In addition there is a thriving expat community with whom you can socialise, play sports and indulge in the favourite British pastime (aka drinking).
Myths about Dubai are prevalent in the media, but in fact you can buy alcohol in bars and specialist shops (with a liquor licence granted to non-Muslims) and you don't have to adhere to an Islamic dress code (though there are prohibitions against 'indecent clothing'). You can also buy pork in the western section of some supermarkets.
Public displays of affection are frowned upon as are rude hand gestures - some could even land you jail time. Speeding is common so jaywalking is ill advised.

While permanent residency visas are relatively easy to obtain for Brits with employment in the UAE, it's virtually impossible for those without. This is especially difficult since the global financial crisis which precipitated a severe downturn in the UAE and led to the government introducing quotas for foreign workers.
As such, you really shouldn't move to Dubai unless you have a job which will lead to a work permit, which will in turn lead to residency and the right to rent an apartment, access healthcare and education, etc.

Moving to Dubai from the UK
Of all the changes undergone by world cities in the last few decades the most startling and dramatic have occurred in Dubai. Once a mere business hub for the oil industry, the Emirate has taken advantage of rising oil prices and businesses fleeing unrest or conflict in other parts of the Middle East to massively expand its economy and explode onto the international scene.
Nowadays oil and gas revenues make up less than 7% of Dubai's income - the city has radically diversified its economy to encompass real estate, construction, trade, financial services and tourism.
This transformation has seen the landscape and population change as much as the economic balance: Dubai skyscrapers continue to shoot up, piercing the Arabian skyline, while man-made islands create real estate and tourism opportunities; Emiratis are now a minority in their own city as foreign workers have been sucked in to sustain the boom.
Opportunities for people emigrating to Dubai are therefore plentiful and many have taken advantage of the low crime rates, enhanced spending power and low property prices to vastly improve their quality of life.
Unfortunately, the reverse is also true for some - there are concerns over human rights abuses in the largely South Asian labour market.
Dubai was named the 2nd best place to live in the Middle East (behind Abu Dhabi) in a 2012 Bayt.com and YouGov survey.
Dubai Case-Study
Haifa moved to Dubai in 2012 from Beirut, Lebanon. She chose to move because of political instability around Lebanon, and chose Dubai for a number of reasons:
"I decided on the UAE because it's an Arab country, close to where I was born… My work allows me to be based anywhere really. So long as I have my laptop and my smartphone I'm good to go… Almost everybody speaks English and is accepting of all cultures and backgrounds. I chose Dubai because it really is the city where east meets west."
Since moving to Dubai, Haifa has launched a new business as well as continuing with her existing line of work.
"When I first moved… I quickly realised the incredible entrepreneurial buzz going on. The city is filled with opportunities and people over here are all about making business a pleasure."
Haifa has a few key pieces of advice for anyone moving to Dubai. Firstly, prepare for the heat.
"July to October are the worst [hot!] months but have patience because the months of November to May are exquisite."
Secondly, she advises thinking about time zones.
"Although Beirut is only two hours behind Dubai… those two hours made a great difference to my sleep and energy levels."
Thirdly, be aware of the pace of the city.
"Before moving here it would have been good to have an understanding of how everything moves so slowly… I would have opted to move to [somewhere] more local to the places I frequent."
Finally, what does Dubai really feel like? Haifa says,
"When it comes to Dubai, you'll find a lot of people who say Dubai lacks culture. I would tell those people to explore more. The culture of the local population is fascinating even for me, a Saudi Arabian… There are so many different cultures in Dubai that it's hard to understand what is really the local culture… Dubai lacks culture as much as the United States does."
Comparing Dubai vs London
Moving from London to Dubai will make you wonder how you ever managed to survive in a city as expensive as the UK capital. Everything from groceries to utilities are cheaper in Dubai - among the very few things you'll find yourself paying a premium on are, understandably, alcohol and women's fashion.
Compared to London, Dubai is generally safer and property is more affordable. The city's roads though are highly congested so you won't be escaping the London pollution.
In cultural terms Dubai isn't going to serve up your western staples - english language theatre, cinema (apart from the biggest hollywood blockbusters) and live popular music will all be hard to find. If you're willing to embrace the difference though you won't be disappointed - the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding is a good place to start.
There are also nature reserves, scenic parks, a well curated museum, a racecourse, some of the world's most ambitious modern architecture to admire and golf courses aplenty.
Dubai's climate is desert - much further removed from that of London you could not get. Average high temperatures in the summer months regularly exceed 40 °C and rainfall is virtually non-existent except during the months December to March. The summer humidity can be quite uncomfortable unless you're in an air conditioned building or near a chilled pool.


text: Banksy Graffiti Taken Off Wall, Sold For $1.1M Critics say 'Slave Labour' belongs to the community By Ruth Brown, Newser Staff Posted Jun 3, 2013 6:34 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (45) (Newser) – A Banksy mural taken from a wall in north London was sold for over $1.1 million at a private auction last night. The piece, "Slave Labour," of a young boy sewing Union Jack flags, was sprayed onto the side of a store in 2012. It was removed in February this year, and was supposed to be sold off at an auction house in Miami, but was pulled from the auction at the last minute amid protests. But the sellers weren't fazed this time: the piece pulled in three bids over $1.1 million by champagne-sipping collectors at the members-only event, reports Bloomberg. Legally, graffiti is the property of the owner of the building it is painted onto. But many street art fans claim the pieces are intended to be enjoyed by the public, and should remain the property of all. One British politician called for "Slave Labour" to be returned to its original location. "You have deprived a community of an asset that was given to us for free and greatly enhanced an area that needed it," she said, as per the BBC. "I call on you, and your consciences, to pull the piece from both potential sales and return it to its rightful place." People look at a section of wall where the Banksy mural was removed.

Intel quietly adds 3.2GHz Core i7 desktop chip
updated 01:35 pm EDT, Wed October 21, 2009
Intel launches 3.2GHz Core i7 CPU
A rumor from this summer has been confirmed, as Intel quietly updated its Core i7 chip range with a new flagship offering, the 3.2GHz i7 960. Based on the Bloomfield core, the chip can be overclocked to 3.46GHz when the Turbo Boost feature shuts down one or more cores. The 45nm chip otherwise has an 8MB L3 cache, a 4.8GTps (gigatransfers per second) Quick Path interface and a peak 130W power use.
As it's not an Extreme Edition chip, the multipliers on the LGA 1366 socket 960 are locked, unlike with the older but more expensive 3.2GHz Core i7 965 Extreme. The new chip will be priced at $562 in 1,000-quantity batches, or roughly half the price of the Extreme version PC makers have yet to unveil systems using the faster design. [via TheInquirer]

Pops open

Its a good shaker cup to bring to work, but I noticed the lid isn't made too well. You have to make an extra effort to close the opening part. Mine always pops open for some reason. You have to push down SO hard- it's kind of annoying. However, I love the bottom compartment to put my BCAA powder.

A really good shaker cup (almost everything is really good) but with a really big con - it leaks! It even leaks if you DIY add an rubber seal ring, how bad is that? I think this shaker is poorly constructed - it has a capillary effect near the lid, and leaks no mater what you do. Update: I think I figured out how to fix this leaking problem - I just polished top of the cup with a blade, girding 0.2mm of it. Seems to work, hope it helps others too.
Neat idea with poor execution

First of all, this bottle is a little small. Barely enough for a protein shake. Nifty idea with the icepack in the centre and a detachable compartment at the bottom. For people who are thinking of getting this for your protein shakes in the gym, it's not a good idea. Once you put cold water in the compartment above, the condensation will cause the powder at the bottom to become wet as well. The spout is a little difficult to drink from as well.
good idea, but not so good in reality

i would love to bring a chilled smoothie on the go, so i ordered this bottle hoping i could. however, this bottle leaks and its just too damn much hassle to get the lid on properly, so i am back to using sundesa blenderbottle again.

The top doesn't seem to screw on properly everytime. Sometimes it feels snug, looks even, then you shake it up and liquids go everywhere. Wouldn't recommend this. I'm giving it 2/5 stars because it works 2/5 times....
