Safari Vehicles
All though we try to get your feet on solid African soil whenever we can, using vehicles for game drives to get close to wild animals in safety is just essential - so we have tried to design our vehicles to make sure you get the best experience.
All our safari vehicles are custom designed to ensure the best wildlife viewing and comfort. This is crucial when spending up to 10-hours a day game viewing from the vehicle.
Here are a few design 'tweaks' we have made to make the vehicles safari ready:
Extended and wider
: We extended and widened the body of the vehicles to allow more space to move around and to get the best photographic angles without 'bumping' in to each other. Although our vehicles are designed to carry 6 passengers we will only put six guests together in one vehicle if this is requested in order to save on cost. Normally we will only carry four guests per extended vehicle.
Lager windows
: We made all the windows in the vehicle as large as will possibly fit. And if we could, we would make the entire body out of glass...we are still working on that design, watch this space for more!
Open roof:
The roof can be removed so that you can stand-up and have a better vantage for viewing.
Power inverters:
All our vehicles have 110v and 220v power adaptors to make it possible to charge camera batteries.
Fridge or coolbox:
All our vehicles have a small fridge where water and drinks can be kept cold.
Coffee box:
Every safari departs with a coffee box with snacks, coffee and tea that can be enjoyed at anytime on a game drive.
First-aid box:
Every safari vehicle has a first aid box and the guide is trained to use this.
Wildlife books and maps:
Every safari vehicle is outfitted with a set of mammal and bird books and maps of the area.

How Texas missed out on Jameis Winston: Longhorns missed 5 or 6 phone calls from his high school coach
Jameis WInston is the likely Heisman Trophy winner Saturday night, and as his success continues to grow, things get worse for Texas head coach Mack Brown.
Earlier this season ESPN's Brett McMurphy reported that Winston wanted to play for the Longhorns in high school.
"I'm an OU fan but I always wanted to go to Texas," Winston said to McMurphy. "If I'd gotten offer from Texas I'd be going to Texas right now"
Winston's high school coach, for his sophomore and junior seasons, Matt Scott handled Winston's recruiting process. Scott estimates he called Texas five or six times Winston's junior year. He even remembers speaking to a secretary on multiple occasions, according to AL.com.
"I told them I know you get these calls all the time but I said trust me on this one, you are going to want to relay this message," Scott recalled. "I told her I had left voice mails on all these assistant coaches' phones and never got a call back. I told her that this was a message she wanted to get out there to Coach (Mack) Brown."
The message didn't seem to go through.
Earlier in the year Brown said someone close to the program told him it was a "two-horse race" for Winston between Florida State and Alabama. Brown said if he had thought there was a chance to get Winston he would have tried.
Ultimately, Winston chose Florida State. The Seminoles are in the national title game next month and Brown is just fighting to keep his job.

Texas AD hopes to work with Brown 'for many years to come'

Last week we took the kids on a field trip to the Great Plains Food Bank. The Great Plains Food Bank is a huge warehouse in North Fargo that serves as a part of a larger network of food pantries.
The kids were amazed at how large the building was. And of course were eager to use the scaffolding as a jungle gym.
The Great Plains volunteer coordinator explained that we would be putting ingredient labels on packages of sauce. Every food item that is sent out by the food bank must have the ingredients listed on it. These packages were not intended to be sold individually, but by placing a small sticker on it, the food bank would be able to distribute the packages.
We gathered the children around two tables and after some minor squabbling over packages of sauce and sheets of stickers, they quickly got the hang of it. In fact, within 5 minutes of starting, the table I was helping had formed their own assembly line. The first child would prepare the package by squishing the sauce around until it was flat. The second would pass the package to the third person, who was taking stickers off a sheet and placing them on the package. The fourth would place the finished package into the complete box.
It was impressive how well they worked together, with very little direction. The only instruction was not to cover any other directions on the package by the sticker. In addition to the main assembly line on our table, several pairs of kids also realized that when they worked together they could do more in the same amount of time than what they could do by themselves.
The kids spent that afternoon volunteering. Even though they didn't get to work directly with the people they were helping, they understood that someone needed to do this job, and because they were the ones to do it, they were a part of the bigger process.
Even more than that, I hope they took away a lesson that many adults continue to struggle with, including myself.
When we work together, we get farther than when we try to do it alone.
They each could have worked individually, and we would have finished several boxes. But they realized that when they worked as a team, not only were they more efficient, but they had much more fun. We filled over 30 boxes that afternoon.
It was a great day for CHARISM.

I went to a pain management doctor and told him about my pain, he ordered 2 MRI's 1 of my neck and 1 of my lower back. The results came back, and I have 3 bulging discs in my neck, and lower back which causes the severe pain, I have been having. Before I went for the MRI's he gave me lortab, he prescribed me to take 10 mg, 1-2 tablets at a time, no more then 3 tablets in 24 hours. This did nothing at all. Once the results came back he saw how much pain I'm in and he prescribed me oxycodone hcl 15mg. Up to 3 times a day. This is helping a bit, but the pain has gotten worse, The pain starts on the left side of my neck and triggers my left shoulder and it gets really painful and weak.
I have pain in my entire neck, mainly the lower, but when it starts in the left it makes my left shoulder really weak.
I have an appointment for him on Tuesday, but was wondering, what can he prescribe that will help me more? I tried Nucynta and it did nothing at all but give me a head ache. On the label it says oxycodone hcl, what does the hcl stand for? What does it do? Is there a difference between regular oxycodone and oxycodone hcl? How strong does oxycodone go up to?
He mentioned diladud, how would you compare oxycodone 15mg to diladud?

HOWZE, ROBERT LEE (1864–1926). Robert Lee Howze, winner of the Medal of Honor, son of Capt. James A. and Amanda Hamilton (Brown) Howze, was born at Overton, Rusk County, Texas, on August 22, 1864. After graduating from Hubbard College in 1883, he was admitted to the United States Military Academy and upon graduation was commissioned a second lieutenant in the cavalry. Howze's first assignment was to the Sixth Cavalry at Fort Wingate, New Mexico. He was awarded the Medal of Honor on July 25, 1891, for gallantry in a campaign to quell an uprising of Sioux Indians in South Dakota in January of that year. He married Anne Chiffelle Hawkins, daughter of Gen. Hamilton S. Hawkins, on February 24, 1897. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, Howze, now a cavalry captain, was made adjutant general of the cavalry in Cuba. Upon his return to the United States, he was appointed lieutenant colonel of volunteers and commanded the Thirty-fourth Volunteer Infantry throughout the Philippine Insurrection. He was promoted to captain in the United States Army on February 2, 1901; to brigadier general of volunteers on June 20, 1901; and to major of the Puerto Rico provincial regiment of infantry in 1901. He was commandant of cadets at West Point, with rank of lieutenant colonel, from 1905 until 1909. He returned to active military command in 1916 as a major in John J. Pershing's punitive expedition into Mexico. Howze commanded selected mounted men in the pursuit of Francisco (Pancho) Villa and upon his return was promoted for "valiant and conscientious service."
In 1917 he was made a brigadier general and assigned to Fort Bliss. He was later promoted to major general and commanded the Thirty-eighth Division, which participated in the Meuse-Argonne offensive of October 21–29, 1918. Howze commanded the Third Division in its march on the Rhine River and the Third Army of Occupation in Germany until 1919. He was then assigned to command the military district of El Paso. He was given the permanent rank of brigadier general on July 3, 1920, and organized and trained the First Cavalry Division, in which he remained on duty until 1925. He was given the permanent rank of major general in 1922. He was later transferred to command the Fifth Corps Area at Columbus, Ohio, where he died on September 19, 1926.
Howze won many honors in addition to the Medal of Honor. Besides the Silver Star Citation for gallant conduct during the battle of Santiago of the Spanish-American War and a Silver Citation for gallantry in action against the Philippine insurgent general Tinio in northern Luzon, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for meritorious service in the command of the Third Division. He was also awarded the Croix de Guerre and was made a member of the Legion of Honor by the Republic of France. Camp Howze, at Gainesville, was named in his honor.

SILVER CITY — A proposed bill in the state Senate to raise the minimum wage in New Mexico could largely affect some business owners in Grant County.
Senate Bill 416 proposes to raise the minimum wage throughout the state from its current level at $7.50 an hour, already 25 cents above the federal minimum wage for untipped earnings, to $8.50 an hour. A recent change to the bill exempts employers with fewer than 11 employees.
Many businesses in Grant County are locally owned and number don't have 11 employees, but some, especially those in hospitality industries like restaurants and hotels, do, and owners say they will be negatively affected by the increase, if it's passed.
The bill has become controversial, especially with groups like the New Mexico Restaurant Association, which has sent out letters to its members asking them to contact their lawmakers to oppose the measure, according to one local restaurant owner.
"We've already sent letters to state legislators telling them we don't like it," said Michael Mesa, owner and manager of the Jalisco Cafe. "If an owner has to pay more, they're going to have to charge more without being able to improve what they give customers. People won't pay it."
The Jalisco Cafe has between 40 and 45 employees at any time, Mesa said, so they won't be exempt from the measure if it passes. Mesa said he was also concerned about filling positions.
"It's going to hurt new hires who are just coming out of school without much experience," he said. "Those people might not be hired for so much."
Jim Nennich, who owns Wrangler's Bar and Grill with his wife Debbie under W & N Enterprises, also denounced the law.
"We're working in a free economy — minimum wage is a standard but I don't think its a living wage," he said. "It shouldn't be up to government to decide what people make, it should be up to them," he added. "It's up to our employees. We start people out at above the current minimum wage and then we offer extensive training opportunities employees can take. We also promote from within the company. So it really is up to them how much they want to make."
Nennich said he is also concerned about what this increase will do to small employers like himself in the current economy.
"The economy is in such a fragile state that we should hold off," he said. "There's a time for it, but that is not when the economy is already so stretched. What's the difference between making a little more an hour if employers have to cut your hours."
He also supports Gov. Susana Martinez's attempts to make New Mexico business-friendly and thinks raising the state's minimum wage higher than surrounding states isn't a wise way to do that.
Bo Reinhart, who owns several businesses in the Gateway Plaza in Hurley, including the Gateway restaurant, gas station, convenience store and motel, said a minimum wage increase is going to hurt his businesses.
"It's going to kill me," he said.
Reinhart has more than 11 employees between his businesses and said he pays most of them higher than minimum wage already, but some entry level positions, he said, like a dishwasher or a cashier, are not worth more than that.
"It's not that the people aren't worth that, it's that the position isn't," he said.
Reinhart said his concern is that if he has to increase the hourly wage of the seven or eight employees he has who are currently paid the minimum wage, then he will also have to increase the hourly wage of his other employees. The other employees may find it unfair that those few got an increase, he said, and may now be making the same as them, so they would expect an increase as well.
"I will either have to turn over employees and find some who will be willing to deal with less money, or increase my prices," he said.
That won't be fair to his customers, he said.
"There is not exactly enough profit in a restaurant to pay everyone a higher wage," he said. "I don't even pay myself that much money. I'm all for paying people more," he added. "Inflation has gone up. Things cost more. But when they increased the federal minimum in 2009, it took us awhile to absorb that. They are killing the small guy," he said of the government. "I don't want to live in a country that's going run us out of business. We don't have the pockets to soak this up."
Not all businesses with more than 11 employees are against the measure, however.
"We have 33 employees and already start them above the $8.50 mark," said Margarita Courney, a manager at the Silver City Food Co-op. "That being said, I think it's a great thing to support."
Others, though they employ more than 11 people collectively, have businesses organized in such a way that this law just wouldn't affect them if passed.
Paul Leetmae, owner of Lawley dealerships in Silver City said he has each dealership separated and neither employ more than 11 at this time. But his employees too are already paid more than the proposed increased amount.

There was really no plausible way Madison County should have won Tuesday night's game at Lincoln.
Not with the way the Cowboys were missing free throws and the Trojans were converting from the line.
But Lincoln's freebies masqued its turnover problems, and Madison gritted out a 49-47 victory on conventional 3-point play with 34 seconds left. The Trojans missed three well-guarded shot attempts in the final seconds, dropping the game after holding a nine-point lead to the start the fourth quarter. ...

Amphibian Conservation through Community Engagement in Ghana
Zoos Victoria's grant will assist the recovery of the Togo Slippery Frog, recently thought to be extinct and under threat from human consumption and habitat damage along the Atewa Forest waterways.
The project is currently introducing chicken rearing as an alternative to consuming the Togo Slippery Frog; water tanks and household water harvesting systems to protect waterways, as well as conservation education to raise awareness of, and instil local pride in this rare and endemic frog species.
Program partner:
Enabling Mountain Women for Snow Leopard Conservation in Pakistan
Zoos Victoria's grant will allow the Snow Leopard Foundation to expand upon a successful pilot project to protect the Snow Leopard and other key predators from retribution killing by the community.
The project is currently building predator proof corals for livestock; livestock vaccination and grazing programs to increase Snow leopard natural prey items; and through alternative livelihoods programs for women in villages with a high number of conflict incidents with snow leopard - to increase tolerance of the snow leopard and reduce retribution killings.
The project also focuses on conservation education in local schools and the broader community. In addition to these lovely images, the project has produced a small film to showcase their work.
Program partners:
Past Grant Projects include:
Safeguarding lemur habitat in Madagascar
In 2014, Zoos Victoria's grant supported the conservation of the critically endangered Sportive Lemur of Madagascar, under threat from deforestation for charcoal production. The grant funding succesfully supported school projects and outreach education for local children and community members about the value of the ecosystem and the interconnectedness of local lemurs, native trees and people, helping community members reduce their reliance on charcoal. A concluding survey reported 87% of parents understood the importance of lemurs and forest. Find out more about the project in the final report.
Restoring lion populations in Namibia
In 2014, Zoos Victoria's grant helped to reduce lion-human conflict in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area in Namibia, one of the largest lion populations in Africa. The grant funding successfully helped build lion-proof enclosures for local livestock, improve the quality and quantity of grazing available for livestock as well as encouraging native wildlife to return to the area, providing an alternative food source for lions. The grant also assisted in developing a team of guards to help track the lions to develop an early warning system for the locals. Find out more about the project in the final report.
In 2014, Zoos Victoria's grant supported the conservation of the Fatu Hiva Monarch the most endangered bird in French Polynesia. The grant funding helped control feral species and develop an alternative income to combat habitat loss due to unsustainable farming practices. The local villages closest to the bird's habitat were targeted with the development of the Bee Keeper training program to manufacture and sell honey in local island areas. Early results have estimated the wild population of the Fatu Hiva Monarch have increased to six breeding pairs, with five successful fledgings.

Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren is on a publicity tour for her new campaign-style book, "A Fighting Chance." As she talks to the press, Warren is repeating previous statements that she will not run for president in 2016. But her denials aren't really denials, and her party's unique presidential circumstances give Warren plenty of room to run. Judging by what she has said publicly, there's no reason to rule out a Warren candidacy.
First, the non-denial denials. Recently ABC's David Muir asked Warren, "Are you going to run for president?" Warren's response was, "I'm not running for president."
That's the oldest lawyerly evasion in the book. Warren, a former law professor, did not say, "I am not going to run for president." Instead, she said she is "not running," which could, in some sense, be true when she spoke the words but no longer true by, say, later this year.
Muir tried again: "There's nothing that could change your mind?"
"David, like I said, I'm not running for president."
Muir also asked Warren about the dominant frontrunner in the Democratic race. "Do you think Hillary Clinton would make a good president?"
"I think Hillary Clinton is terrific," Warren said, which is no way answered the question. Then Warren added, "We've got to stay focused on these issues right now," which sounded very much like something a candidate might say.
The bottom line is that Warren's statements are entirely consistent with someone who is planning to announce a presidential candidacy later this year. Maybe she will, maybe she won't. But she ruled nothing out.
And why shouldn't she run? With Clinton 50-plus points ahead of any other potential candidate, it's an understatement to say the Democratic Party has put all its presidential eggs in one basket. Unless it's an incumbent seeking re-election, that's never a good idea. So here are five reasons - there are probably more - why Warren should make a 2016 run for the White House.
1. Life is unpredictable. Clinton will be 69 years old on Inauguration Day 2017, nearly the oldest president ever. She has had a few health scares. By all accounts, she left her previous four-year stint in government service exhausted. She might not run, and the Democrat in second place in the polls, Vice President Joe Biden - 74 on Inauguration Day - is too old to be president. Beyond them, Democrats have nobody - except Elizabeth Warren.
2. Parties need competition. The primary process isn't just to allow voters to pick a nominee. It's for the candidates to become better candidates.
3. The Left wants a hero. Clinton has never really excited the most liberal wing of the Democratic Party. They see her as an overcautious centrist like her husband, and on top of that, many have never forgiven her for voting to authorize the war in Iraq. Warren, on the other hand, has thrilled the Left with her attacks on inequality, plutocrats and big financial institutions.
4. Hillary ran a dumb campaign in 2008 and might do so again. For a group of seasoned veterans, the 2008 Clinton campaign showed a stunning ignorance of how to win delegates in a Democratic contest.
5. One more time: Life is unpredictable. This is Warren's only chance to run. She will be 67 on Inauguration Day 2017. (Has any party ever fielded a group as old as Clinton, Biden and Warren?) A run in 2020 or later is out of the question.
Yes, Warren is far back in the polls, but so was Obama in 2007. At some point, Democrats are going to realize the precariousness of their unthinking devotion to a single, flawed candidate. Elizabeth Warren could remind them there's someone else to vote for.

Though most Americans may not think of orchids when they hear the word vanilla, the exotic Mexican tropical plant produces the fruit we know as the vanilla bean or pod. Centuries before Cortez invaded Mexico in 1519, the Mesoamerican Indians held the plant (Vanilla planifolia) in high esteem as a blessing of nature, and used it for trade and exchange.
In 1572, Bernal Diaz de Castillo described how chocolate was first drunk as a beverage, a bitter-tasting drink made from the cocoa plant and flavored with ground vanilla. Cortez himself tasted it at Montezuma's court. Shortly thereafter, the Spaniards shipped vanilla back to Europe, where it was touted as an antidote to poisons as well as an aphrodisiac.
Author Tim Ecott's new book Vanilla: Travels In Search of the Ice Cream Orchid is a fascinating blend of history, science and travelogue. Ecott's pages are filled with legends and surprising stories about the world's most exotic and sensual plant: an orchid that traveled the world but would not bear fruit outside of Mexico until a 12-year-old African boy named Edmond Albuis developed a process for cultivating it in 1841.
In keeping with his penchant for obscure subjects (his first bestseller, Neutral Buoyancy: Adventures in a Liquid World, captures his scuba-diving adventures), Ecott presents a cast of interesting characters including farmers, brokers and ice cream makers he tracked down in Mexico, Tahiti, Madagascar, England and America.
Vanilla is a compelling book along the lines of The Orchid Thief and Orchid Fever that fans of the fascinating subculture of orchid growing are sure to love, and one that will make others wonder what the world would be like without vanilla. After all those centuries, it is more valuable today than at any time in history. Cooking instructor Wuanda M.T. Walls is finishing a cultural memoir cookbook.

Cardioprotective effects of lixisenatide in rat myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury studies
1 Sanofi R&D Diabetes Division, Industriepark Hoechst, H825, 65926, Frankfurt/Main, Germany
2 Faculty of Medicine, Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Homburg/Saar, Germany
3 Current Adress: Boehringer-Ingelheim Pharma GmbH, CMDR, Biberach a.d.R., Germany
Journal of Translational Medicine 2013, 11:84 doi:10.1186/1479-5876-11-84Published: 28 March 2013
Lixisenatide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 analog which stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion and gastric emptying. We investigated cardioprotective effects of lixisenatide in rodent models reflecting the clinical situation.
The acute cardiac effects of lixisenatide were investigated in isolated rat hearts subjected to brief ischemia and reperfusion. Effects of chronic treatment with lixisenatide on cardiac function were assessed in a modified rat heart failure model after only transient coronary occlusion followed by long-term reperfusion. Freshly isolated cardiomyocytes were used to investigate cell-type specific mechanisms of lixisenatide action.
In the acute setting of ischemia-reperfusion, lixisenatide reduced the infarct-size/area at risk by 36% ratio without changes on coronary flow, left-ventricular pressure and heart rate. Treatment with lixisenatide for 10 weeks, starting after cardiac ischemia and reperfusion, improved left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and relaxation time and prevented lung congestion in comparison to placebo. No anti-fibrotic effect was observed. Gene expression analysis revealed a change in remodeling genes comparable to the ACE inhibitor ramipril. In isolated cardiomyocytes lixisenatide reduced apoptosis and increased fractional shortening. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) mRNA expression could not be detected in rat heart samples or isolated cardiomyocytes. Surprisingly, cardiomyocytes isolated from GLP-1 receptor knockout mice still responded to lixisenatide.
In rodent models, lixisenatide reduced in an acute setting infarct-size and improved cardiac function when administered long-term after ischemia-reperfusion injury. GLP-1 receptor independent mechanisms contribute to the described cardioprotective effect of lixisenatide. Based in part on these preclinical findings patients with cardiac dysfunction are currently being recruited for a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study with lixisenatide.

Anyone know where to find drawstring appropriate for men's pajama pant strings. I bought some Wrights 1/2" twill tape at Hancock without opening the package. It *looked* like what I wanted but when I opened it I thougt it was too thin for a man's pant...it's almost like ribbon weight. Some of my r-t-w pj pants have this "twill" type drawstring dyed to match the pants. Here's a link to the pattern photo.
I make mine from the same fabric as the pants. I cut a 1 1/4" wide strip the whole width of the material (44 - 45") Then I iron it in half the long way (45" x 5/8") and then fold the cut ends into the fold and sew along the edge down both sides of the strip. Tie a knot on one end, thread it through, and then tie a knot on the other end. If it's too long cut just it off and tie a new knot. -- Edited on 1/13/13 6:47 PM --
------Sewing: A creative mess is better than tidy idleness. ~Author Unknown
Could you possibly use something like this? elastic with drawstring I purchased some of this to use when I try to make some shorts (I haven't sewn with it yet) and the cording seems normal. I also have pants and shorts that have the dyed-to-match cording like what you described, but unfortunately have only seen this for sale in white. My son and husband both want to have the "drawstring cord" and the "elastic" together in anything I might make for them, so I will continue to keep an eye out for this kind of stuff, hopefully in at least black too.
This is available in white elastic with a black cord instead of white. I purchased some from an eBay seller back in 2009 that had gotten it from a Land's End Store that had closed. I'm sure it's available online somewhere though.
Thanks, I never think of checking ebay for fabric or notions, or much of anything. Think I've only made 3 or 4 ebay purchases ever. Guess I'm a little afraid of the sellers. I need to get more "with it". LOL I'll be looking for that black corded elastic!
I find Etsy easier to deal with than EBay for notions of all kinds, always been pleased with sellers and service, mostly working out of their homes. Lots of elastics available. They don't advertise enough, have told many ladies about it who weren't aware of the site.
For drawstrings (for stretchy stomachs!) I have used wide elastic
sewn onto twill or whatever for the ties that will show. JA's has little clear toggles to run the ends thru if you don't want to just knot them.
Think outside-the-sewing-box when looking for notions. For instance, cording comes from hardware stores, tent use, clothesline, fishing, drapery. For pretty tie ends, use the stretchy colored headbands for girls.
-- Edited on 1/14/13 7:19 AM --
I use skate laces. They come in different lengths, and colours and the ends are finished.
I've heard of people using boot laces too. They come in different lengths and basic colors.
January 2009 to January 2010 81 yards out and 71yards in January 2010 to the present 106.7 yards out and 146.5 yards in. January 2011 to the present: 47 yards out and 69 yards in.
Put the twill tape inside a strip of the fabric and you will have a matching drawstring that matches the pant. The TT will help keep the drawstring from stretching.
Fold the length of the fabric lengthwise and lay the twill on top. Stitch across one short end, catching the end of the TT. Then stitch down the side. Safety pin the end of the TT to one side of the fabric to hold it in place as you turn the tube inside out. Stitch across the open end, catching the pinned TT. Insert into the pant waist band, then knot the ends of the drawstring.

UHV student to present at national nursing conference
"You can proactively deal with problems before they become big problems," said Goehring, who works as the director of quality management at the Devereux Texas Treatment Network in Victoria.
Goehring and a colleague developed a way to modify an existing database system to better track how well a medical unit is functioning from a clinical, financial and safety perspective. Most methods presently in use tend to focus on the financial side of operations, she said. The system has shown promising results at Devereux, she said.
"Patti and her colleagues represent the positive and innovative side of nursing," said Denise Neill, co-director of the School of Nursing. "Not only have they found a creative way to solve practical dilemmas, but they are accepting their professional responsibility by sharing that knowledge with others to improve the status and quality of health care in our community and nation."
Goehring is a senior in the UHV nursing program. The registered nurse always wanted to get her bachelor's and master's degrees in nursing.
"It was the UHV program that finally allowed me to do it," she said. The only options available to her before were far-away online programs that wouldn't allow her the interaction with fellow students that she thought vital to her education.
"I think it's going to make me better at what I do," she said of her pending degrees. And that means better outcomes for patients across the area.
The University of Houston-Victoria, located in the heart of the Coastal Bend region, offers courses leading to more than 65 bachelor's and master's degree
programs and concentrations in the schools of Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Education & Human Development, and Nursing. UHV provides face-to-face
classes at its Victoria campus as well as teaching sites in Fort Bend and Harris counties, and online classes that students can take from anywhere. Since its
founding in 1973, UHV has provided students with a quality university education from excellent faculty at an affordable price.

When interacting with an user, like replying to some comments or adding photo tags, this remote user has no way to get notifications of what happen about him. This specification defines a method for managing such notifications.
The user who will receive notifications MUST:
In order to get incoming notifications in real-time, the client MAY advertise support for "urn:xmpp:inbox+notify" in its Entity Capabilities [1] data.
Clients that provide notifications inbox support MAY request all the "urn:xmpp:inbox" node items on the user's PEP service.
If the event to notify is listed in the following array, the client MUST consider using the defined event type:
|Type Name
|The sender replied to some comments.
|The sender liked an item.
|The sender quoted the user in a post.
|The sender published an entry on the user's wall.
|The sender tagged the user in a photo.
|The sender tagged the user in a video.
If Romeo wants to notify all the users who posted a comment in a comment node, his client MUST send a payload to every user's PEP node.
The notification type is stored in the "title" attribute of the "link" element, also containing the URI ("href" attribute) to the target item. The notification text content is stored in the "content" element.
<iq email@example.com/mobile' id='pub1' email@example.com' type='set'> <pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub'> <publish node='urn:xmpp:inbox'> <item id='9844f81e1408f6ecb932137d33bed7cfdcf518a3'> <entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'> <source> <author> <name>Romeo Montague</name> <uri>xmpp:firstname.lastname@example.com</uri> </author> </source> <content type="text">May I bring my horse?</content> <link rel="via" title="comment" href="xmpp:email@example.com?;node=urn%3Axmpp%3Amicroblog%3A0%3Acomments%3A97b64c89747aecbc8077cdab941d92be;item=f3fea3c068f66fee8b66673a6ccd78b6"> <published>2011-05-06T13:31:51Z</published> </entry> </item> </publish> </pubsub> </iq>
Juliet tagged Romeo in a photo. Romeo's client gets pushed of the new item:
<message firstname.lastname@example.com' firstname.lastname@example.com' type='headline'> <event xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#event'> <items node='urn:xmpp:inbox'> <item id='6728ffa81dddf38d375eb3d86e3f70086a41db65'> <entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'> <source> <author> <name>Juliet Capulet</name> <uri>xmpp:email@example.com</uri> </author> </source> <content type='text'>Hiking with Romeo</content> <link rel="via" title="photo" href="xmpp:firstname.lastname@example.com?;node=urn%3Axmpp%3Aalbum%2Fa73933b0408af49f1305cb47a4bb10d7913f0fd0;item=6a18f571bc9b92a442aa80ad2649b0679c8e7b30"> <published>2011-05-06T14:39:43Z</published> </entry> </item> </items> </event> </message>
Romeo viewed the last notification he received. His client now removes it (as defined in Publish-Subscribe [2]):
<iq type='set' email@example.com/mobile' id='retract1'> <pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub'> <retract node='urn:xmpp:notify'> <item id='9844f81e1408f6ecb932137d33bed7cfdcf518a3'/> </retract> </pubsub> </iq>
Romeo wants to clear all the pending notifications. His client purges the "urn:xmpp:inbox" PEP node (as defined in Publish-Subscribe [3]):
<iq type='set' firstname.lastname@example.com/mobile' id='purge1'> <pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#owner'> <purge node='urn:xmpp:notify'/> </pubsub> </iq>
The client SHOULD check that the author informations (provided in the "author" element) are valid, by checking that the "publisher" item attribute value matches the "uri" element value. If there is a difference, the notification MIGHT NOT be displayed, and the client SHOULD remove it (see the Removing a notification section of this document).
This specification re-uses the schema for the Atom content format, i.e., the 'http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' namespace (see RFC 4287).

CMU students get to work, play with computer Jeopardy! champion Watson
It seems only right that Watson, IBM's Jeopardy!-playing computer, should become a part of the curriculum at Carnegie Mellon University this fall.
After all, former CMU doctoral student Nico Schlaefer spent three summers working on the team that developed the computer, which beat a pair of human Jeopardy! champions in its TV debut three years ago.
CMU officials announced on Tuesday that the school will offer a computer science class, "Intelligent Information Systems featuring IBM's Watson," in conjunction with IBM. The class will give students access to Watson's cognitive technology as they develop mobile applications for the computer.
"The home run we're looking for is to add our vision to IBM's technology to create an application that is useful and worthy of being spun off as a product," said Eric Nyberg, a professor in CMU's Language Technologies Institute. Teaching the course with Nyberg will be Alan Black, a Language Technologies Institute professor, and Norman Sadeh, a professor in the Institute for Software Research.
Nyberg and several CMU students, including Schlaefer, collaborated with IBM on the platform Watson used to understand questions from people and search huge databases for an answer.
CMU is one of seven universities partnering with IBM on the course. The others are Ohio State University, New York University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, University of California, Berkeley, University of Michigan and University of Texas in Austin.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers.
We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.
We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.
We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.
We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.

Apple's App Store cracks 250,000 apps
updated 12:10 pm EDT, Sat August 28, 2010
Apple passes quarter million app mark
Apple has quietly passed the 250,000 app mark at the App Store, new data shows. As of Saturday morning, 148Apps recorded 252,227 readily available iPad and iPhone apps. The figure is a quick climb from 225,000 in June and is likely to be held up as a milestone by Apple at its September 1 music event.
To date, Apple still has the advantage of quantity, as unofficial stats currently put the next best, Android Market, at more than 100,000 apps. Most other stores are far smaller. BlackBerry App World is estimated to have about 9,000 apps despite RIM's phones currently having a larger market share. The App Store also has a much higher ratio of paid apps than at Google's store.
The newer App Store statistics also provide insight into the current demographics of the store. Apps typically wait nearly a week before being posted to the store, with the average price of a paid app at $2.67. Book apps currently dominate the store with 43,759 titles but are followed by games, at 36,646.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama freshman running back Derrick Henry has had surgery to repair a fractured fibula.
Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban says Dr. Lyle Cain performed a successful surgery on Monday for an injury sustained in a scrimmage two days earlier.
Saban says he's confident Henry will be fully recovered in time for preseason camp, citing the medical staff "and the hard work and dedication Derrick has shown since he arrived" in January.
Henry was one of the nation's top recruits after being named the national high school player of the year by several organizations. The 6-foot-3, 238-pounder ran for 4,261 yards as a senior at Yulee High School in Florida and broke Ken Hall's 51-year-old national high school rushing mark with 12,124 yards in his career.
Alabama's spring game is Saturday.

Critics of a controversial coal-gas plant in Rockport are taking to the airwaves as state lawmakers debate legislation that could alter the course of the planned $2.8 billion project.
The Sierra Club and Citizens Action Coalition began airing an advertisement opposing the plant today on two conservative talk radio stations, WIBC in Indianapolis and WOWO in Fort Wayne.
The advertisement represents the first broadcast foray by either side in the debate over the project, which has consumed countless hours at the Statehouse this session. ...

HALE CITY, TEXAS. Hale City, in central Hale County, was platted in 1891 but failed two years later, when expectations of a railroad were not met and a drought drove away the population. In 1893 its remaining residents joined with those of Epworth, two miles away, to move themselves and their buildings to nearby Hale Center.

'Modern Family' Out-Foxed
Michael J. Fox got a standing ovation when he went to the stage to present for Outstanding Comedy. The award went to "Modern Family" for the third time, but they were denied an ovation as the speech from co-creator Steven Levitan was cut off, with Jimmy Kimmel joking that the show was long enough. Thus, the greatest moment from the last few minutes was Fox, who stood strong, as always, as he prepares for a return to the small screen with a new series in 2013.

Two gym instructors have been arrested in connection with what police now believe is alleged gangrape of a six-year-old girl at a public school here recently.
"A complaint of rape has turned out to be a case of gangrape after the arrest of two more persons in the Vibgyor High School case," City Police Commissioner M N Reddi told reporters here.
The alleged incident had occurred on July 2, but the complaint with police was lodged by the victim's parents on July 14.
Reddi said the two accused - Lal Giri and Wasim Pasha - gym instructors, were arrested last night and booked under Section 376D of Indian Penal Code (intercourse by any member of the management or staff of a hospital with a woman in that hospital).
Relevant sections under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) have been also invoked against them, he said.
This is the fourth arrest in the case after those of school skating instructor Mustafa and its Founder-Chairman Rustom Kerawalla.
He said investigations have ruled out the direct involvement of Mustafa, who was held by police as a suspect based on "circumstantial evidence available at that point of time." Initially, police had announced that Mustafa was the main accused.
Reddi said that with the arrest of Giri and Pasha, Bangalore Police have solved the case, that had evoked a public outrage and led to severe protests.

MAPLEWOOD, Minn. -- The pilot who died in a fiery helicopter crash in this east metro suburb Wednesday was a skilled, experienced flyer and was remembered as a generous, loving family man.
Mike Kramer flying dropping mosquito control pellets in ponds and marshes when his helicopter appeared to stall and fall from the sky. His Bell 47 chopper landed in an unoccupied garage in Maplewood and erupted in flames.
"He was an excellent father and a loving husband," Tricia Kramer of Saint Charles said of her husband of 18 and a half years.
"He was a Christian, hard-working, conscientious, generous and loyal man."
The 44-year-old Army veteran also left behind two children, ages 9 and 12, in addition to a 52-year-old foster child with developmental disabilities.
Mike Kramer was one of 13 children who grew up on Eddie and Mary Kramer's farm near Saint Charles in the rolling hills of southeast Minnesota.
He graduated from the University of Minnesota College of Agriculture, and was a dairy farmer in Wisconsin before becoming a professional pilot.
Tricia said the couple also operate group homes for persons with disabilities in the St. Charles area.
"He's a wonderful person, and a farmer at heart," she said.
Dave Kramer told KARE that his brother had flown in a wide range of situations and helicopters.
"He flew TV news aerials, he flew tourists over the Smoky Mountain National Park, he flew medical helicopters and in agricultural settings including mosquito control," Kramer said.
He described his brother as a kind and sympathetic person. They were together last Sunday at a Father's Day celebration.
"I was in their house this afternoon. There's a picture for Father's Day that reads 'Best dad' on the window," Kramer said.
"It's really a tough situation. The thing that saddens me the most is when I think of those children losing their daddy."
Skilled and experienced
Kramer's employer and friend, Scott Churchill, gave high marks to the flyer he lost in Maplewood.
"Mike was one of the most safe, conscientious pilots that I have," Churchill told KARE.
"He was down to earth. He would give you the shirt off his back and help you, and he was so family oriented."
Churchill owns Scott's Helicopter Service in Le Sueur, Minnesota. It's the company that also provides aerial footage for KARE 11 and several other Twin Cities TV stations.
"Having one of the guys passing is like losing a member of my family because we're all a very tight knit group," Churchill said.
"I can replace aircraft but I can't replace pilots."
He said the suburban environment is not as forgiving in a crash situation, compared to those that occur in more open farming areas.
"Helicopter accidents normally are very survivable because we are not going at high air speeds, and we usually when we're doing mosquito control we're at lower elevations and altitudes," Churchill said.
He survived one himself in 2003 when his chopper hit a power line, after he was temporarily blinded by the sun in rural Le Sueur County.
"I came to rest upside down in a small creek and it was a muddy area, so my landing was a little softer," Churchill recalled.
"It still broke nine bones in my back, but I got out and walked up on the bank and sat there until somebody got there."
His brother Gary Churchill survived a crash in 2007 while flying mosquito control near Ramsey, but has since died from cancer. The cause of his mechanical failure was never solved.
Another mosquito control pilot, Kevin Rossan, crash landed in Lake Marion near Lakeville in 2011, after an air hose came loose and caused a sudden loss of power.
"The complexity of the sites around homes makes it a little tighter environment, and every mosquito site is round, so it can be difficult working around homes all day," Churchill said.
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board, or NTSB, will attempt to come up with an explanation of the crash. The agency will examine the helicopter's Rolls Royce engine as well as other parts of the doomed bird.
"They'll come to my facility in Le Sueur and we'll examine records, pilot records, aircraft records," Churchill explained.

|Exposure to outdoor air pollution and chronic bronchitis in adults: a case-control study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23022867 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|BACKGROUND: Although Lebanon is a highly polluted country, so far no study has specifically been designed to assess the association between outdoor air pollution and chronic bronchitis in this country.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between exposure to outdoor air pollution and chronic bronchitis in Lebanon.
METHODS: A pilot case-control study was conducted in two tertiary care hospitals. Cases consisted of patients diagnosed with chronic bronchitis by a pulmonologist and those epidemiologically confirmed. Controls included individuals free of any respiratory signs or symptoms. After obtaining informed consent, a standardized questionnaire was administered.
RESULTS: Bivariate, stratified (over smoking status and gender) and multivariate analyses revealed that passive smoking at home (ORa: 2.56, 95% CI: 1.73-3.80) and at work (ORa: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.13-3.17); older age (ORa: 1.75, 95% CI: 1.55-2.39); lower education (ORa: 1.44, 95% CI: 1.21-1.72); living close to a busy road (ORa: 1.95, 95% CI: 1.31-2.89) and to a local power plant (ORa: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.07-2.45); and heating home by hot air conditioning (ORa: 1.85, 95% CI: 1.00-3.43) were moderately associated with chronic bronchitis; an inverse association was found with heating home electrically (ORa: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.39-0.85). A positive dose-effect relationship was observed in those living close to a busy road and to a local diesel exhaust source.
CONCLUSION: Chronic bronchitis is associated with outdoor air pollution.

Iran and Al Qaeda's 'Operations Chief'
1:46 PM, Aug 25, 2011 • By THOMAS JOSCELYN
In a column for the Washington Post, David Ignatius discusses the cache of documents captured in Osama bin Laden's safe house. Ignatius writes:
Ignatius goes on to report:
In July, the Wall Street Journal reported the same details concerning Atiyah, who was described as al Qaeda's "operations chief."
Here is one question journalists and intelligence professionals should be asking: What role, if any, does Iran play in Atiyah's plotting?
In July, the U.S. Treasury Department designated six members of an al Qaeda network based inside Iran. (See here and here for additional reporting on the designation.) Some members of the network are based outside of Iran, but funnel recruits and cash through Iranian soil. The network operates "under an agreement between al Qaeda and the Iranian government."
One member of this network is Atiyah. Treasury notes that Atiyah is al Qaeda's "overall commander in Pakistan's tribal areas and as of late 2010, the leader of al Qaeda in North and South Waziristan, Pakistan." The Treasury Department adds: "Rahman was previously appointed by Osama bin Laden to serve as al Qaeda's emissary in Iran, a position which allowed him to travel in and out of Iran with the permission of Iranian officials."
The Iran-based network is headed by another terrorist, Ezedin Abdel Aziz Khalil (aka Yasin al Suri). The Treasury Department's designation notes that "Iranian authorities maintain a relationship with Khalil and have permitted him to operate within Iran's borders since 2005." Khalil's activities include moving "money and recruits from across the Middle East into Iran, then on to Pakistan," where they serve senior al Qaeda leaders. According to the Treasury Department, one of the senior al Qaeda leaders Khalil funnels money and recruits to in northern Pakistan is Atiyah.
So, here is what we know about Atiyah and Iran:
Atiyah was planning a terrorist attack against the U.S. that was potentially set to coincide with the tenth anniversary of 9/11. Atiyah worked with and for Osama bin Laden, who oversaw the plot. (We don't know, however, if this plot ever got off the ground or was just in its initial planning stages.)
According to Ignatius, some U.S. intelligence officials think Atiyah is even "more important" than Ayman al Zawahiri, al Qaeda's new emir. The described Atiyah as al Qaeda's "operations chief."
Atiyah was appointed al Qaeda's emissary to Iran and had an explicit deal with the Iranians that allowed him to move in an out the mullahs' country.
Atiyah is one of the beneficiaries of a deal between the Iranian government and Khalil, who funnels recruits and money from the Gulf States through Iran to Atiyah.
I'll add one more dot: Atiyah was protected by the Iranian regime for several years after 9/11. He is one of the senior al Qaeda leaders who the Iranians refused to acknowledge holding in custody and was supposedly held under a loose form of "house arrest."

The Salinas High baseball battled back from a 3-0 deficit with a four-run fifth inning Tuesday to beat Monterey 4-3 at Washington Middle School.
The outcome put the Cowboys at 5-8 overall and 3-5 in the MBL Gabilan. Monterey fell to 8-5, 4-4.
Monterey had a chance to break the game open in the top of the fifth when it loaded the bases on walks with no outs. But Brock McMillian came in to relieve and held the Toreadores to one run, allowing a sacrifice fly but striking out the next two hitters. ...

Candidates seeking South County votes on tap Thursday evening
Area candidates for national, state and county offices seeking the support of South County voters are expected at a public forum here Thursday night.
RIVERVIEW – Area candidates for national, state and county offices seeking the support of South County voters are expected at a public forum here Thursday night.
The event is scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn, located in the Crescent Office Park, immediately east of U.S. 301and north of the I-75 overpass. It is being co-sponsored by the Greater Riverview Chamber of Commerce and the SouthShore Chamber of Commerce.
Some 20 candidates for a U.S. House of Representatives seat as well as for state senate and state house seats, plus a number of office seekers on the county level have been invited to participate in the forum designed to give voters face-to-face time with those who want to represent them, noted Tonya Doran, the Riverview chamber's executive director. Early this week, 14 had confirmed their appearances, she added.
The forum structure will give each candidate three minutes for a general introduction, Doran said, with a question and answer period following. Questions, which have been collected from chamber members and will be chosen at random by the moderator, then will be directed to appropriate candidates. The candidates will have no prior knowledge of the questions to be asked, Doran asserted.
Dr. Bryan Thatcher, a Riverview businessman, will serve as moderator. Members of SouthShore Toastmasters are to be time keepers during the event.
County office seekers invited to participate include Bob Henriquez, Democrat, and Ronda Storms, Republican, as well as James DeMio and Robert Townsend, both running with no party affiliation. They are campaigning to become Hillsborough County Property Appraiser. Candidates for the county's Supervisor of Elections post, Democrat Craig Latimer and Republican Rich Glorioso also are on tap. In the District 4 county commission race, Mark Nash, Democrat, Al Higginbotham, the Republican incumbent, and Joy Green, NPA, all have been invited as have Kevin Beckner, Democrat and incumbent District 6 county commissioner, and Margaret Iuculano, his Republican challenger.
Terry Kemple and Carol Kurdell, seeking the District 7 seat on the Hillsborough County School Board, are among the invitees.
Incumbent U.S. Representative Kathy Castor, a Democrat, and her challenger, Evelio "EJ" Otero, Republican, top the invitation list. Candidates for the state house seat representing District 59, Democrat Gail Gottlieb and Republican Ross Spano , are expected. So are Bruce Barnett, Democrat, and Jake Raburn, Republican, who are vying for the District 57 slot in the state house.
Elizabeth Belcher, Democrat, and Tom Lee, Republican, are competing for enough votes to put them in the state senate representing District 24.
While candidates' forums have been conducted in other parts of the South County during previous election cycles, this is the first one to be undertaken by the chambers, Doran pointed out, and the objective is to bring value to the community on a non-partisan basis. "How can we expect our representatives to know where we stand on the issues important to us, if we do not tell them," the director asked rhetorically, adding "our votes do count."
Doran also noted the forum doors will open at 5:30 PM, a cash bar will be available and voters will have an opportunity to speak one-on-one with candidates following the formal questioning. Participation is free of charge.

How to Measure the Harness Size:
Harness sizing is based on the adjustability of the girth. If you don't have a dress makers tape, use a piece of string around the animal's ribcage, just behind the front legs. Measure snugly, not how you want it to fit. If you are using string, and don't have a ruler, you can use the known size of a standard piece of paper (8.5" by 11") to get a good idea of the pet's actual circumference. Whatever that measurement is, add in an extra 5% for comfort.
