The Vanderbilt Experience: Student Nurse Internship Program (VESNIP)
The Vanderbilt Experience: Student Nurse Internship Program was successfully completed by 12 of our WKU nursing students, three of which also completed their honors project during the internship. WKU is one of five schools invited to participate in the VESNIP opportunity. The students received invaluable experiences with clinical placements including; Women's Health, Critical Care, Acute Care, Pediatrics, Psychiatric and Perioperative.
During the Internship the Vanderbilt nursing staff has the opportunity to nominate one student from each track to receive the Vanderbilt Credo award. "The student receiving the Credo award is a student that made our patients the highest priority by communicating effectively with patients and their families and was committed to being a team player."
Although all twelve WKU nursing student participants represented WKU SON with pride and professionalism, we are also proud to say for the first time that WKU had two student VESNIP participants presented with the Vanderbilt Credo Award, Lexie Webb from Women's Health and Crystal Walker from Pediatrics!
Congratulations to Lexie and Crystal!
VESNIP Faculty Audrey S. Cornell and Sarah Woodall
Congratulations to the December 2014 pre-licensure graduates who received 100% pass rate on NCLEX!
Summer 2014 Vanderbilt Experience (VESNIP) Group
WKU nursing students that participated have once again demonstrated the strength of the WKU nursing program. All 14 students represented WKU well with their knowledge and professional behavior. Working along side a Vanderbilt RN preceptor in various clinical settings for 3 twelve hour shifts each week gives the students the opportunity to increase their knowledge base, practice their clinical skills, and experience "real life" nursing. One of our students, Olivia Holloway, was presented with the Credo Award from the Acute Care Track. Congratulations Olivia!
New Name for the Clinical Learning Center at WKU's Health Science Complex
Report by Amy Bingham.
The state of the art clinical nursing lab at WKU's Health Sciences Complex bears a new name and honors the memory of a beloved nurse.
Donald Dizney says he owes his success in the health care field to a nurse named Helen Turner. She passed away in 1995 but her legacy will live on in WKU's nursing program.
"It's a great day for me because I wouldn't be in the hospital business if it hadn't
been for Mrs. Turner."
It was an emotional moment for Don Dizney when he first saw the likeness of his mentor, Helen Turner, on the wall outside the newly named Dizney Clinical Learning Center at WKU's Health Sciences Complex.
"I think I speak for the whole family when I say we are very proud of Aunt Helen and we are so appreciative to Don and Irene Dizney for honoring her in this way."
Dizney's relationship with Turner dates back to 1963 when she hired him as an orderly while he was at the Bowling Green Warren County hospital for the birth of his first child.
"I went down and applied for the job and she hired me the next day before my son left."
Dizney worked his way up to Founder and Chairman of the Board for United Medical Corporation which has a large network of hospitals.
"I've thought about Mrs. Turner a lot in those 51 years, tell stories when people asked where did you get your start and things like that."
The dedication marked the first time the Dizney and his wife Irene had a chance to meet any of Turner's relatives...nearly a dozen came from all over the country.
"It's exciting to see that large a group coming from as far away as some of them came. It shows what she meant to her own family."
She had no children of her own, but Turner thought of Dizney like a son and even said so in a 1986 video.
Dizney says this state of the art nursing lab would be right up Turner's ally and she would be so proud that it's called the Dizney Clinical Learning Center in memory of Helen Turner.
"I've realized from Mrs. Turner you can always probably do without an administrator or CEO but you can't do without a good director of nurses. She was the best of the best, for sure."
Helen Turner's career included 25 years as director of nursing at the Owensboro-Daviess County hospital and 20 years as director of nursing at the Bowling Green-Warren County hospital. She helped bring hospice services to Bowling Green.
WKU and Medical Center open New Nursing Facility
The WKU-Medical Center Health Science Complex officially opened Thursday August 22, 2013. The facility is located at 700 1st Avenue on the edge of the hospitals campus that borders 31W Bypass. This state of the art facility houses the BSN, RN-BSN, MSN and DNP programs within the School of Nursing. The Associate of Science Degree is located at South Campus and in Glasgow.
New Online LPN to ASN program accepts first group of students
WKU School of Nursing started the first group of online LPN to ASN students in 2013 to help LPN's who are place bound and unable to continue their education in their current locations.
ASN Program continues to accept students
WKU School of Nursing continues to provide an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing to help non traditional students gain entry to the nursing profession.
BSN Program has more openings than ever before
A maximum of 80 new students are now accepted to start each Fall and Spring semester. This means that more qualified students are able to reach their dreams of becoming an RN at WKU, without having to wait for an opening.
Online RN-BSN Program Continues to Grow
This online program helps registered nurses enhance their employment opportunities by obtaining a BSN degree. The program is offered part-time and online, to help working nurses complete their college degrees. We will be expanding this program to people outside the state of Kentucky in the near future, to help meet the national need for more BSN prepared nurses.
Graduate Program Gains Grant Funding
Students in the WKU Nurse Practitioner program are now benefiting from the new HRSA grant obtained by WKU nursing faculty. Over $620,000 in funding will be available over the next two years for students in the nurse practitioner programs.
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Program
The post-masters DNP program admitted its first class Fall of 2011 and the BSN to DNP program admitted its first group of students Fall 2013. All students graduating from the BSN-DNP program will be qualified to take the family nurse practitioner certification exam and be licensed as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN).

GOP Candidate Once Called Racist Three-Fifths Clause 'Anti-Slavery'

The law requires, and people of good conscience are obliged to assume, that former Clinton National Security Adviser and current Kerry for President foreign policy adviser Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger is innocent of the crime of stealing highly classified documents from the National Archives. But inquiring minds are quivering with ferret-like anticipation, while Democratic and Republican politicians are digging their spikes into their respective starting blocks, as Washington is once again off to the scandal races.
As in all true Washington scandals, most of the commentators in politics and journalism come to the scandal predisposed to defend or eviscerate the subject. And, it wouldn't be a true Washington scandal if the subject was not "a good friend" or "a former colleague and good friend" of the commentator -- thus further reducing the chances for honest comment.
The story was first reported by the Associated Press on Monday evening by longtime, respected investigative reporter John Solomon, who characterized his sources as "officials and lawyers," which pretty much describes everyone in town over the age of 24.
The first line of rhetorical defense was laid down early Tuesday morning on the "Today Show" by metropolitico-journalist David Gergen -- former advisor or staffer to Presidents Nixon, Reagan and Clinton, and one of the designated wise men of Washington. "I think it's more innocent than it looks ... I have known Sandy Berger for a long time ... He would never do anything to compromise the security of the United States." Mr. Gergen added, "it is suspicious" that word of the investigation emerged just as the September 11 commission is about to release its report, since "this investigation started months ago."
This doubtlessly heartfelt defensive effort was actually slightly counterproductive. By asserting that it was more innocent than it looked, he let any doubters know that the events looked not innocent, even to friend David Gergen.
Moreover, as he didn't offer any hard evidence to justify his suspicion of innocence, he was left with offering evidence of good character -- which is marginally probative, but rarely persuasive in this age of so many fallen idols and clay-feeted men.
Blankley, who had been suffering from stomach cancer, died Saturday night at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, his wife, Lynda Davis, said Sunday.
In his long career as a political operative and pundit, his most visible role was as a spokesman for and adviser to Gingrich from 1990 to 1997. Gingrich became House Speaker when Republicans took control of the U.S. House of Representatives following the 1994 midterm elections.

Christmas Parade still shining after 58 years
Published: Sunday, December 4, 2011 at 6:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 4, 2011 at 6:45 p.m.
Much like Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," the Ocala/Marion County Christmas Parade has a past, a present and a future. But, for the parade anyway, it's all good.
If you go
WHAT: Ocala/Marion County Christmas Parade
WHEN: 5:30 p.m. Saturday; Reindeer Run 5K race, 4:45 p.m.
ROUTE: McPherson Governmental Complex on 25th Avenue, west on Silver Springs Boulevard, north on Eighth Avenue, ends at Tuscawilla Park
SEATS: Bleacher seats $8
CONTACT: ocalamarionchristmasparade.com
As far as history goes, few can match the involvement of Phyllis Hamm, who coordinated the event for 11 years, beginning with her position as membership director of the Ocala/Marion County Chamber of Commerce. After retiring from the chamber in 2006, Hamm continued her efforts as executive director of the Friends of the Christmas Parade, a nonprofit group of committees and volunteers.
"It's one of the few nighttime parades. The pretty lights on the floats, that's what adds to the magic," Hamm said.
Following last year's parade, Hamm also resigned from the Friends. It was a tough, but necessary, decision, she said.
"Two years ago, I had a heart attack two days before the parade," Hamm said. "I was coming out of the hospital. A friend was taking me home and I could hear the band. It was kind of sad, kind of ironic. I thought, 'OK, the parade goes on.' "
During last year's planning stage, Hamm said she again began to feel the stress of all the paperwork, phone calls and coordinating.
"When you've got over 4,000 people in the parade, there's a lot of logistics, plus the television people," she said. "I like the parade and I like the money, but it was time to move on."
Hamm said chamber records show that the parade goes back to the 1940s and the efforts of a downtown retail committee. Today, it draws about 70,000 spectators from across Central Florida.
The year Hamm retired from the chamber, she was named grand marshal.
Move to the present and the parade's grand marshal will be Frank DeLuca, owner of DeLuca Toyota, who will be riding in the lead car with his fiancee, Michelle King.
"I told them I have one stipulation," DeLuca said. "If I ride in a car, it's got to be a Toyota. I said, 'OK, what does a grand marshal do? I've been to the parade before and I've seen the grand marshal. I was very flattered, very honored."
A resident of Ocala for 33 years, DeLuca said he even served as a float judge one year.
"I've always gone to the parade, especially when my children were young," he said. "I see all these chairs lined up along side of the road a week in advance. I know how exciting it is for families and their kids. It gets everybody in the Christmas spirit."
The grand marshal is chosen based on how that person has affected the community, said William Taylor, who is co-chair of the parade with Sue Mosley.
"Frank has, over the years, dedicated himself by giving back to the community. I think the honor comes with leading the parade and representing Ocala and Marion County," Taylor said.
DeLuca has contributed considerable time and resources to such charities as the March of Dimes, the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society.
This is the parade's 59th year. Scheduled are 120 units, including 57 floats, plus marchers, bands and riders on horseback. Except for a consistent growth in participants, Taylor said little has changed. Technology, however, has brought some changes: This year, for example, there is an upgrade of online applications and other materials, and bleacher seat tickets can be purchased online.
While Taylor will be busy behind the scenes, he said his 6-year-old daughter, Aidan, will be riding on the Balcony Starz cheerleading float.
After a few weeks of respite, the parade committee will begin work in mid-January on next year's event. Looking to the future, Taylor said he's not planning to make any changes in something that works.
"We're trying to do things better, but as far as major changes, I don't foresee any," he said. "I'm not going to reinvent the wheel. I do get a little bit weary during the year, and it does get frustrating, but the day of the parade wipes all that away.
"When I see families and children who, through the year, deal with so much, then they just let it go and enjoy the Christmas spirit, that kind of rejuvenates me and gets me ready for the next year."

YouTube karaoke, Tajik-style
Tajik President Emomali Rahmon.
Hear that? That's the president of Tajikistan singing a Tajik song and not at all nailing it. The video was taken in 2007 and uploaded to YouTube in May. And just like that, YouTube was banned in the country for nine days. The country's Internet regulatory body confirmed that YouTube was blocked but wouldn't say why. Hmmm. What could it possibly have been?

El Paso's history is full of turning points, but one of the most significant came in the spring of 1914, when the State School of Mines and Metallurgy opened its doors.
The school changed names several times over the years and now is known as the University of Texas at El Paso. The university will celebrate its centennial throughout 2014.
The presence of a four-year university has been a key part of El Paso's economic growth over the years. It will be even more important in the next century as the globalization of the economy offers tremendous opportunities for a university that has specialized in multicultural and multilingual education.
A key to UTEP's success over the years has been something that probably isn't recognized outside El Paso, or even inside at times. UTEP has been an innovative institution, particularly in the diversity of its student population.
The then-Texas College of Mines in 1955 became the first university in Texas to desegregate when it accepted African-American students.
A year later, basketball player Charlie Brown became the first African-American to play a major sport at a major university in a state in the old Confederacy.
In 1966, Marjorie Lawson, an English professor, became the first African-American professor in the University of Texas System. The next year her husband, Juan, a physics professor, became the first African-American with a doctorate to teach in the UT System.
And in 1966, the Texas Western Miners became the first team to start five African-American players in the NCAA basketball finals, defeating the University of Kentucky in a landmark for American sports.
And most importantly, UTEP's mission in recent decades has focused on providing opportunities for El Paso's Hispanic majority.
One example is in the College of Engineering. UTEP ranks second in the nation in the number of undergraduate Hispanic engineers it produces, and first in the number of Hispanic engineers with graduate degrees.
UTEP's identity is all about opportunity, regardless of race, ethnicity or class.
The most moving moment at any UTEP graduation is the call for students to stand if they are the first in their family to graduate from college. The sheer numbers of such students is impressive.
A college degree is critical to social mobility, and UTEP offers the opportunity for that mobility. Indeed, the social mobility afforded by a UTEP education is the key reason the university ranked seventh this year in Washington Monthly's rankings of the nation's best universities.
Much work remains to be done. UTEP and similar institutions face a daunting challenge in raising graduation rates while also continuing to provide opportunity to a diverse cross-section of the community.
But as UTEP embarks upon its year-long centennial celebration, the university and the community can take immense pride at a truly remarkable record of providing opportunity regardless of class, race or ethnicity.

Letter: It's time to ratify the ERA
Lindsay Harper, Knoxville
It's 2013 and women are still not equal to men in the Constitution. Women are still not free from legal sex discrimination, and something should be done about it.
In 1923, Alice Paul proposed the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution, and in 1972 it passed Congress and went to the states to be ratified. Since then, only 35 states have ratified the ERA, while a total of 38 (three-fourths of the 50 states) is needed to fully pass the amendment. Many people have no idea that women are not equal to men under the Constitution.
The ERA Campaign Network took a poll in 2001 that showed that nearly all U.S. adults (96 percent) believe that male and female citizens should have equal rights. The majority (88 percent) believe that the U.S. Constitution should make it clear that these rights are supposed to be equal. However, 72 percent of respondents assume that the Constitution already includes such equal rights for women.
Something should be done about this. While Tennessee has already ratified the ERA, there are still ways in which Tennesseans can help. I'm taking part in a task force to try to rectify this to make all people equal. We can all take part in urging people we know in the states where the ERA isn't ratified to talk to their legislators and take a stand. Our task force will take action with many peaceful strategies within the next couple of months. Visit our Facebook page to find out more. I challenge each of you to make a difference and help change the Constitution for the better.

Post the nuclear crisis in Fukushima, Indian authorities have come out in full force to defend the country's plan for aggressive nuclear expansion. Heads of various nuclear agencies, both past and present, have joined the Prime Minister in a vociferous chorus on the extraordinary safety credentials of India's nuclear facilities. Can we really trust these reassurances?
Former Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission and Secretary of Department of Atomic Energy (2000-2009), former Director of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre.Address to Members of the Legislative Assembly and Members of the Legislative Council of Maharashtra.14th March, Press Trust of India
Statement: "Compared to Japan, seismic activity is very less in India. In Japan, there are fifty-four reactors in seismic zone four and five. In USA, there are ten reactors in seismic zone five. While Jaitapur is in seismic zone three."
Statement: 'He also said that countries such as Germany, Italy and Sweden, which had decided not to have nuclear power plants, later had a rethink.'
Kakodkar is no longer making references to Europe to support his own views, as there is clearly little basis for his assurances. More country reactions to the Fukushima disaster can be seen here.
Statement: 'When asked by a member of the audience as to why solar energy can not be an alternative, he said solar energy was important but it was not available 24 hours and was not economically viable. Nuclear power plants required less land, compared to solar energy projects, Kakodkar explained.'Reality:
Chairman and Managing Director, Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited14th March, Press Trust of India
Statement: 'Regarding the French EPR reactors which are proposed for Jaitapur plant in Ratnagiri district, Bannerjee [Chairman, AEC] and Jain said the design of EPR was based on the design experience of 58 reactors running in Europe, and when the Indian EPR will come up it would have seen the experience of five such similar plants in Finland, France, China and UK.' Reality:
Statement: 'Jain said India was uniquely placed as it had a centralised emergency operating centre with well drawn procedures scrutinised by regulators.'Reality:
It's not just in India. The two worst nuclear accidents in history were also preceded (and followed!) by reassurances of safety. Chernobyl1983 - "The design feature [of the RBMK reactor - that used in Chernobyl] of having more than 1000 individual primary circuits increases the safety of the reactor system - a serious loss-of-coolant accident is practically impossible." B. Semenov, Deputy Director General, IAEA Department of Nuclear Energy and Safety (IAEA BULLETIN, VOL. 25, No.2 (1983) p.51)
1986 - Chernobyl nuclear disaster, an accident involving a loss of coolant. The worst nuclear accident to date, and the only one classified as level 7 on the INES scale, the IAEA's scale of severity for nuclear events.
FukushimaJanuary 2011 - "Even for a nuclear plant situated very close to sea level, the robust sealed containment structure around the reactor itself would prevent any damage to the nuclear part from a tsunami, though other parts of the plant might be damaged. No radiological hazard would be likely."(World Nuclear Association, www.world-nuclear.org)
January 2011 - "Nuclear facilities are designed so that earthquakes and other external events will not jeopardise the safety of the plant. In France for instance, nuclear plants are designed to withstand an earthquake twice as strong as the 1000-year event calculated for each site. It is estimated that, worldwide, 20% of nuclear reactors are operating in areas of significant seismic activity." (World Nuclear Association, www.world-nuclear.org)
8 January 2011 - In promoting Japan's nuclear wares to Saudi Arabia, Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Akihiro Ohata says that Japanese nuclear programs are "the world's safest".
11 March 2011 - An offshore earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale, followed by a tsunami, creates an emergency situation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Radioactive material is released into the environment. The scale of the crisis is still unfolding.
28 March 2011 - "The up-to-date reactors are fully protected, and if such reactor is taken to the Fukushima location (though, I have mentioned that a few human creations are capable of withstanding a disaster of that force), an up-to-date reactor is capable of withstanding this." Sergei Kirienko, Director of Federal Atomic Energy Agency (Rosatom), Russia

83 Tasting Notes
Thanks for the sample of this one Stacy! Oh man this is so amazing! I have noticed any time Stacy does a "creamy" tea it is always so good. These flavors work really well together. The pineapple is sweet but not cloying at all. The cilantro adds the perfect herbal flavor to the mix. The Bai Mu Dan base is delicious as well. This is just perfection! I love it! Defenitely ordering a couple ounces of this soon.
Tried this yesterday but did not have a chance to review until now. I love jasmine green tea. This is a really good one. It is a very smooth green tea and the jasmine was very subtle not too flowery as some jasmine teas can get. I actually liked the second steep better then the first. The flavors came through stronger for me the second time around. Definite yum. Thanks Yssah! :-)
Thanks Yssah for this one. I'm agreeing with the other people that recently got teas from the huge liquidation sale from Ovation. I feel like this needs to sit awhile so the flavors can really get into the tea since right now all I am really tasting is the assam and a hint of fig. The assam is good but I just want more fig and I am not getting much from it right now. Think I will give it a week or two and try it again.
Oh man this is so yummy. Thanks for this sample Stacy! I love creamy teas and this one is really good. Can't really say anything new on top of all the other reviews. The base tea is perfect for this flavoring and I definitely wish I had more so I could try adding some nutmeg to it. Oh well I'll just have to order a full amount. This time sadly was only a sample of this deliciousness….
Yum! I love blueberry and cotton candy so I knew I would love this one. I just love how Frank has that cotton candy flavor down. This especially tastes delicious iced just like the cotton candy black tea. Really love this one! :-)
Had some of this last night. Its not too bad. I wish the apple cider flavor of it was a little stronger. It was a little weak for me. But it was tasty and helped me relax. Which is normally what I grab a chamomile tea for. For a bagged tea this one was definitely not the worst.
Yum! I really love the honeybush coconut combo. These flavors really suit each other. This is just like the maple longjohn if you let it cool just a little bit the flavors really start to come through. This is coconuty goodness. I love it!
I don't know what it about this one but I really didn't like it. It was way too bland for me. I don't know if maybe the one I had was old since all the other reviews are talking about strong flavors. Also the sweetness in it was really fake tasting to me. Also looking at the ingredients listed for this tea here on steepster is different then on the bag I had it listed artificial flavoring. I normally like honeybush blends but this one for me was just bad…
Thanks TeaEqualsBliss for this one! I really do love lemon so I was excited to see this in the group of tea bags she sent me :-). The lemon flavor was a little weak for me. But I added a little bit of honey and it was much better! Not something I would necessarily purchase but, in a pinch it would satisfy a lemon craving.

Sunday's FLORIDA TODAY article, "Will seawater, sewage be Space Coast's next source of drinking water?" left a feeling of doom and gloom.
The St. Johns River, which provides most of the drinking water for the St. Johns River Water Management District, has its headwaters just south of us and flows north to Jacksonville, where it exits into the Atlantic Ocean. North of Sanford, many natural springs feed into the system and provide increased flow northward.
Why can't the flow be contained by a series of dams and locks that would renourish the groundwater and provide a controlled supply for ...

Antilia (building)
Antilia is a 27-floor residence in South Mumbai belonging to businessman Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries. A full-time staff of 600 maintains the residence, reportedly the most expensive home in the world.
Antilia Name and location
The building is named after the mythical Atlantic island of Antillia. Antillia, according to Aristotle, was a huge island in the Atlantic Ocean known to the Carthaginians.
The Antilia building is situated on an ocean-facing 4,532 square metres (48,780 sq ft) plot at Altamount Road, Cumballa Hill, South Mumbai, where land prices are upward of US$10,000 per square metre. In August 2008, Altamount Road was the 10th most expensive street in the world at US$25,000/sq m (US$2,336 per sq foot).
Antilia Construction
Antilia was designed by Chicago based architects, Perkins + Will. The Australia-based construction company Leighton Holdings began constructing it. The home has 27 floors with extra-high ceilings (other buildings of equivalent height may have as many as 60 floors). The home was also designed to survive an 8-richter scale earthquake.
Antilia Controversies
The transactions surrounding the acquisition of the land on which this building is constructed, as well as various aspects of the construction and design of this building seem to raise significant issues of regulatory malfeasance and corruption among the various parties involved.
In 2002, this property was purchased by a Mukesh Ambani controlled entity – Antilia Commercial Private Limited from the Currimbhoy Ebrahimbhoy Khoja Trust, in direct contravention to section 51 of the Wakf Act.
This land was owned previously by the Currimbhoy Ebrahim Khoja Yateemkhana (Orphanage). This charitable institution had sold the land allocated for the purpose of education of underprivileged Khoja children to Antilia Commercial Private Limited in July 2002 for Rs 21.05 crore. The prevailing market value of land at the time was at least Rs.150 crore.
The Waqf minister Nawab Malik opposed this land sale and so did the revenue department of the Government of Maharashtra. Thus a stay order was issued on the sale of the land. Also, the Waqf board initially opposed this deal and filed a PIL in the Supreme Court challenging the decision of the trust. The Supreme Court while dismissing the petition asked the Waqf board to approach the Bombay High court. However the stay on this deal was subsequently vacated after the Wakf board withdrew its objection on receiving an amount of 16 lakh from Antilia Commercial Pvt Ltd and issued a No Objection certificate.
In 2007 the Allahabad government said the structure is illegal because the land's owner, the Waqf Board, had no right to sell it, as Waqf property can neither be sold nor transferred. Ambani then obtained a No Objection Certificate from the Waqf Board after paying Rs 16 lakh (U$36,100) and began construction. In June 2011, the Union government asked the Maharashtra government to consider referring the matter to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
In regards to the three helipads, the Indian Navy said it will not allow the construction of helipads on Mumbai buildings, while the Environment Ministry said the helipads violate local noise laws. Issues have also been raised with regards to the construction of an illegal carpark.
Antilia Cost and valuation
Indian media has frequently reported that Antilia is the world's most expensive home costing between US$1 and 2 billion. Thomas Johnson, director of marketing at architecture firm Will and Hirsch Bedner Associates that was consulted with by Reliance during building floor plan design, was cited by Forbes Magazine as estimating the cost of the residence at nearly $2 billion. In June 2008, a Reliance spokesman told The New York Times that it would cost $50–$70 million to build. Upon completion in 2010, media reports again speculated that, due to increasing land prices in the area, the tower may now be worth as much as US$1 billion.
Antilia Public reception
|It's a stupendous show of wealth, it's kind of positioning business tycoons as the new maharajah of India.
|— Hamish McDonald, author of Ambani & Sons: A History of the Business
Tata Group former chairman Ratan Tata has described Antilia as an example of rich Indians' lack of empathy for the poor. Tata also said: "The person who lives in there should be concerned about what he sees around him and can he make a difference. If he is not, then it's sad because this country needs people to allocate some of their enormous wealth to finding ways of mitigating the hardship that people have."
Some Indians are proud of the "ostentatious house", while others see it as "shameful in a nation where many children go hungry." Dipankar Gupta, a sociologist at New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University, opined that "such wealth can be inconceivable" not only in Mumbai, "home to some of the Asia's worst slums," but also in a nation with 42 percent of the world's underweight children younger than five. Recently Ratan Tata said that "It's sad Mukesh Ambani lives in such opulence ole".
Author activist Arundhati Roy questioned whether the "Ambanis hope to sever their links to the poverty and squalor of their homeland and raise a new civilisation" through Antilia.

Is it wrong that I don't want to let him name her? I like the name I picked. I already think of her as Anya, but my boyfriend told me the other night that he feels left out of the whole process. It's hard for him to get off work to come to my appointments. He did manage to come to my 2nd trimester ultrasound, so he did see her and hear her heart beat, but I can understand how that isn't enough. I get to feel her and he can't yet. I've been doing most of the planning and kind of leaving him out because I figured he was busy with other stuff. Anyway, now I'm anxious and upset because this is my first baby and I'm not sure I'll ever have any others. I've been looking at names since I found out there was a little person growing in me and I feel like I'm missing out on something now. I know it's selfish of me and I do want him to feel like she's his, too. Did anyone else let the father name their child? Was anyone else anxious about it, too?
The father wants to name her....
Could he have a say in the middle name? That way you both pitch in the naming process?

Layne Malcolm 5.18.12
Interested in Jamberry?
Oh, we both had a say in the names. I think thats only fair but thats just me!

Layne Malcolm 5.18.12
Interested in Jamberry?
I don't think either parent should have exclusive naming rights. Both parents should have a say. I'm FAAAAAAR more interested in names than my husband is, so he had less input than I did, BUT, he did have the all important veto, and I did sadly have to give up a couple of my favorites. In the end, both girls' first names were my idea, but approved by him, and he selected their middle names, approved by me. Some variation of that seems to be the ideal solution.
Mom to my beautiful girls M (2009) and I (2011)
I think if the mother gets to choose the first name then the father should get a to choose babys middle name, or opposite. My boyfriend has given me full control for naming our daughter, but I still ask him for his opinions.

She probably won't have a middle name. I really want her to have my last name as well since we aren't married. There won't be room for a middle name. Otherwise I would gladly hand that over to him.
You both should make a list of names you like/love. Or find a common style of names you like and go through names together. If baby is getting your last name it would be nice that you both get a say for babys first name :) Good Luck Mama !

Autumn Jane [.February.4th.2013.]
& Isaac Charles [.June.5th.2014.]

Sorry, I mean she will have both of our last names and his is pretty long. I just have my one name, so I'll just let him look for now and just ask if I can add mine to his list. I don't think he likes my name choice, though. I'm hoping he comes up with one that I love even more than Anya. Thanks for all of the helpful advice, ladies!
Oh, if you aren't married that changes things. I do think you have more of a say in that case, unless it's one of those deals where you live together, plan to be together forever and just "don't need a piece of paper," or whatever. If there is uncertainty in your relationship, then while he still gets a say, I'd say it's more like 75/25 instead of 50/50.
Mom to my beautiful girls M (2009) and I (2011)
That's kind of how I feel, Aerin76. I have no idea where we'll be in a year or so and I was the only one pulling for her the first two month that we knew about her. That's not to say he's some jerk and I think he may care a lot more now than I realized. I guess I just got it in my head that I was going to do this alone because that's how it seemed at first, but he's been different recently. This isn't his first "oops" baby and the last time it happened the relationship ended badly. I know that has a lot to do with why he didn't want her at first. I'm still in a 'single mom' mindset, but I really do want him to be involved. I just needed other people to tell me that I need to share this with him. If I don't let him be her dad, how can I ever expect him to fill that role? This is all so very confusing. I'm so sorry!

Great night club if you are in still in Uni.
They place has a good layout.
Thursdays are Uni nights so great to meet new people. Fridays and Saturdays are pretty good too.
Can get on the guest list on their website and myspace page. so you pay only $10 instead of the usual $15 entry fee. Music is a mix of house / electro. depends on which days you go there.
great drinks specials if you are early.
overall good experience.

Or that Dunn and a friend called the boy "an alcoholic" after they made him down the beer?
Outside, Matt Schultz supporters in boy Scout uniforms made pancakes and handed out cups of Tang.
They drug-test the boy—but not the man who shot and killed him.
Ann Romney was at her best when she talked about falling for "this boy I met at a high-school dance" who "made me laugh."
I spat on an Arab boy in Hebron while a teenage Israeli soldier watched and did nothing.
The boy laid the poster on the table where she could read it again, word for word.
"It'll be the makings of the boy," he said to Mrs. Bines in her son's presence.
I read Astounding Stories all the time, although I'm just a boy.
Probably there was no boy present whose suit was of such fine material as his.
They were out to try a new experience, and one that appealed to every boy in the bunch.
mid-13c., boie "servant, commoner, knave, boy," of unknown origin. Possibly from Old French embuie "one fettered," from Vulgar Latin *imboiare, from Latin boia "leg iron, yoke, leather collar," from Greek boeiai dorai "ox hides." (Words for "boy" double as "servant, attendant" across the Indo-European map -- e.g. Italian ragazzo, French garçon, Greek pais, Middle English knave, Old Church Slavonic otroku -- and often it is difficult to say which meaning came first.)
But it also appears to be identical with East Frisian boi "young gentleman," and perhaps with Dutch boef "knave," from Middle Dutch boeve, perhaps from Middle Low German buobe. This suggests a gradational relationship to babe. For a different conjecture:
In Old English, only the proper name Boia has been recorded. ME boi meant 'churl, servant' and (rarely) 'devil.' In texts, the meaning 'male child' does not antedate 1400. ModE boy looks like a semantic blend of an onomatopoeic word for an evil spirit (*boi) and a baby word for 'brother' (*bo). [Liberman]Used slightingly of young men in Middle English; meaning "male negro slave or Asian personal servant of any age" attested from c.1600. Exclamation oh, boy attested from 1892.
A noticable number of the modern words for 'boy', 'girl', and 'child' were originally colloquial nicknames, derogatory or whimsical, in part endearing, and finally commonplace. These, as is natural, are of the most diverse, and in part obscure, origin. [Buck]
verb phrase
To depart, voluntarily and often gracefully: We wanted her to take the role, but she bowed out (1940s+)

Hello all,
Just wondering if anyone else thinks that higher level guilds should unlock more officer positions. Say level 20+ guilds unlock an extra 2 slots for officers to help manage the roles in the guild. Im currently in a level 20 guild and was talking with the leader yesterday about how our requirements should be set. Yet im not an officer. We had a lengthy convo. about it and I figured i would throw it out there and see the response.
So at level 20 guild can we get more officer positions please considering the growth of the guild?
Thank you for your time

Hi guys,
Can't make this one, I'd love to see what everyone is printing but works busy at the moment, hope it goes well for all, Paul.
Hi everyone,
So far we have :
who have indicated that they will be at Saturday's meeting. I will make arrangements to get the keys next Tuesday and I would be grateful if people could confirm their attendance so as I will know what numbers we can expect. The more the merrier.
I'm looking forward to Saturday. What time do we meet?
Wont be able to make this one, only one printing session since Christmas but getting back into it now so hopefully make next session. have a good day.
Right folks the venue is booked for Saturday's meet-up at 2:30PM. If you are in town early I'll be in Insomina Coffee shop on Wexford St. (just before Gunn's camera shop). I should mention that it is not necessary to bring fully finished and mounted prints to the meeting. 8x10 size or work prints in progress are acceptable. It is meant to be a sharing of work and exchange of ideas. Hoping to see you all there.
Insomnia makes terrible coffee! It also has the feel of a dentist's waiting room.
If you want coffee and cigarettes, you can smoke outside Sofia (next to the motorcycle shop). Theyll give you free chocolate biscuits and they also do those nasty fry-ups, for those of you that like that kinda thing.
If you want coffee and a better atmosphere, you should all go across the street to Solas and commandeer the seating (sofas and tables) near the front window (the rest of the place is a little darker). Their food is much better too.
might not be able to get in on Saturday but will try my best....Brian
Hi Vincent,
Thanks for sorting this - I hope to be there, but can only bring some fairly old prints not having been in the darkroom for a while (looking for inspiration - lodes of unprinted negs!)
Insomnia ok with me.....
- Sorry, I meant to add that I'll bring my copy of Michael Kenna's book "Hokkaido" that featured on another thread as a part excuse for my own weak offering...

Explore Eureka Springs Vacation Ideas
During your time in this historic Arkansas town, you'll soon discover that your biggest worry is deciding what to do next! You don't have to travel far from the bed and breakfast to discover an abundance of things to do. Use this page as inspiration for Eureka Spring vacation ideas. 2015 Holiday Events >
Spend a relaxing day strolling the downtown, browsing antique shops and galleries, sampling the great food at local restaurants and eateries, or you may choose to take in a show or head out for an adventure in the great outdoors. There truly is something for everyone to enjoy in Eureka Springs.
To help you plan your ideal visit to Eureka Springs, we have listed below places and activities either we or our guests have enjoyed. We also have trolley passes!
This is not a complete list of things to do, places to visit or restaurants to enjoy. For a more complete list of area attractions and activities, please visit the Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce and the Eureka Springs Tourist Bureau websites.
- Blue Spring Heritage Center
Blue Springs is an area favorite for weddings. And, who would have thought that the calm looking spring puts out 38 million gallons of water a day. Besides the spring, stroll through the gardens, feed the trout and enjoy all the sights and smells that Blue Springs has to offer.
- Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge
See lions, tigers and bears (oh my!), plus cougars, panthers, monkeys, and many other animals that Turpentine Creek has rescued. They have some animals in cages you can see as well as a tour out back where the animals have their own area to roam. They post the stories behind each of the animals they have rescued which makes the visit a little more personal.
- War Eagle Mill Inc
A short drive to historical War Eagle Mill, a water-powered grist mill on the War Eagle River, where the daily grind is fresh wholegrain cornmeal, flours, mixes and cereals. There is a gift shop and the Bean Palace Restaurant. If you go to War Eagle Cavern then make sure you also stop here.
- Thorncrown Chapel
Nestled in a woodland setting, Thorncrown Chapel rises forty-eight feet into the Ozark sky. We love to go and just sit as it is such a peaceful place to be with its magnificent wooden structure that contains 425 windows and over 6,000 square feet of glass. Designed by E. Fay Jones, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, Thorncrown has won numerous architectural awards and has been featured on television programs and in national magazines.
Shows and Plays
- The Great Passion Play
Everyone should see this at least once in their life. It's an outdoor spectacle with hundreds of actors and animals depicting the last days of Jesus. Very moving. They also have a dinner show with comedy and gospel music just before the play starts.
- Ozark Mountain Hoe-Down
This live stage show has been a Eureka Springs favorite for years.
- Intrigue Theater
Intrigue Theater takes you back to the Victorian age to experience an evening of Mystery & Intrigue performed by an Illusionist & a Medium Featuring Special Guests from the other side!
Home Tours and History
- Eureka Springs Historical Museum
For a small village museum there is a lot of history packed into this building. For those visiting Eureka Springs for its history, this is the place to start.
- Crescent Hotel Ghost Tours
While the tour is long, you do get some excellent history about the Crescent Hotel's past, both historically and ghostly.
- Quigley's Castle
This attraction is an area favorite. It's not a castle or an architecturally significant structure. It's just one of the most interesting places here in Eureka Springs. If you go we think you'll also say, "That's interesting!" Don't miss the butterfly wall, it's an incredible collage.
- Eureka Springs Tram Tour
If you are looking for a quick tour of Eureka Springs, consider taking the tram tour. The tram tours are approximately 90 minutes in length and are fully narrated by a local tour guide that knows Eureka Springs inside out and upside down! If you have questions, they will be happy to answer them! The schedule varies with the seasons, so checkout their website for the latest information.
- Eureka Springs Van Tour
Eureka Springs Van Tour offers personalized tours in their air-conditioned van. These tours last about 2.5 hours and take you to a number of places the tram tour doesn't get to. The groups are generally smaller and Michele, the owner, will probably be dressed up in her Victorian garb to make the tour seem a little more authentic, or maybe just eclectic.
Outdoor Activities
Fishing, hiking, biking and water activities
- Lake Leatherwood
The largest hand-laid, limestone dam in the nation impounds a lake 1 1/4 mile long with about 3 miles of shoreline covering 85 acres. A quiet, serene place where you can enjoy a relaxing picnic lunch or try some of the excellent hiking and biking trails. There is now a handicap hiking trail also.
- Kings River
Canoe and kayak rentals, fishing.
- Beaver Lake
Swimming, canoe and boat rentals, fishing.
Horseback riding
- Steve's Horse Ride Stables
Our guests love this place and always come back saying the horses are great and that Steve is a fantastic host.
- Dinner Bell Ranch & Resort Riding Stables
They have trail riding, but what makes them unique is that they offer a breakfast, lunch and dinner ride.
Caves and Caverns
- Cosmic Cavern
Cosmic Cavern was discovered in 1845, but wasn't developed until 1927. The cave features a 9 foot soda straw – the longest known in the Ozarks, and two bottomless lakes. One of the lakes was discovered in 1993 in the "Silent Splendor" section which made national news. This was Arkansas' most delicate discovery.
This is a guided 1 1/2 hour tour and is about a 20 minute drive from the inn.
- War Eagle Cavern On Beaver Lake
Take Cosmic Cavern and turn it on its side and you have War Eagle Cavern. Its rooms are large but not too tall (you can reach up and meet a stray bat up close, that's if you want to of course.) This was the cavern where the movie Jesse James was filmed. When you're done, consider visiting War Eagle Mill just a short ways down the road.
- Onyx Cave Park
Onyx Cave is the closest cave to Eureka Springs. It has a thirty minute radio headphone self-guided tour. While not as big as either Cosmic or War Eagle caverns, it offers a quick glimpse of what caves are all about.
Bavarian German Czech restaurant
Hours: Open 7 days from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Closed during the winter)

Café Amore
Hours: Open Thurs. – Sun.

DeVito's Italian Restaurant (for their trout dishes)
Hours: Open Thursday to Tuesday 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for lunch and 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for dinner (5:00-10:00 p.m. for May through July).
Website: eureka-springs-usa.com/devito/
If you like trout, this is the place to go. Their trout dishes are fabulous. The DeVito family owns a trout farm only an hour from Eureka Springs so their trout is always fresh. Lots of choice Italian dishes can be found and they also have a lunch menu.
Ermilio's Italian Home Cooking (Italian)
Hours: 7 days a week, 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Closed some nights during the winter)
Website: ermilios.com/
One of the most recommended restaurants in Eureka Springs and one of our favorites also. It's only three blocks from us, and we like the great tasting home-style Italian food. All their pastas are excellent, and they also cook a thick juicy pork chop dish. It's a casual restaurant, and they do not take reservations.
Fresh (Farm to table)
Hours: Thursday-Monday 11-9 Sunday Brunch 10-2, open till 7 Closed Tuesday and Wednesday
Website: www.freshanddeliciousofeurekasprings.com

FRESH does not take reservations.
Gaskins Cabin Steakhouse
Hours: Open Wednesday through Sunday 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Website: gaskinscabin.com
One of our favorites. In an old log cabin, and the place for steaks. Prime rib, Beef Burgundy and of course steaks. If you don't like steaks, no worry, the other half of their menu has a variety of items which will please your palate. If you're here during the week, they also have some great specials. We always save room for their delicious chocolate bread pudding.
Grand Taverne
Hours: Open nightly from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Website: grandcentralresort.com/tavern.html
An upscale restaurant in a grand old hotel. The chef has created some exceptional dishes. We've tried several dishes from beef to seafood and have been pleased each time.
Le Stick Nouveau
Hours: Thurs. – Sat. (Winter Hours) 5 pm to close
Website: www.lestick.com
A fabulous new restaurant in Eureka Spring, located below the New Orleans Hotel downtown. Le Stick's chef is constantly creating new dishes that are sure to please. We love their filet and cod dishes, but honestly we've never had any dishes we didn't like. Check them out the next time you are in town!

A favorite of the locals in town. We have come to really enjoy Local Flavor and we always get rave reviews from our guests about this restaurant. Their menu has something for everyone.

Nibbles Eatery
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nibbleseureka
Small in size, but big on flavor! Nibbles Eatery is a great place to enjoy lunch or coffee in the afternoon. We've had their quiche and several types of sandwiches. None have let us down. Located downtown at the top of Spring St.
Rockin' Pig
Hours: Monday through Saturday: 11:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.; Sunday 11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Website: rockinpigsaloon.com
If you are looking for a great burger and rib joint, then try the Rockin' Pig. We know barbeque is a personal taste, so when we say it's the best barbeque around, you probably need to know our style is Texas style. The ribs are wet and smoky and fall off the bone. The burgers are top shelf. Also, try the Loaded Sweet Potato Fries, with white cheddar cheese, fresh BBQ pulled pork and drizzled with chipotle cream.
Rogues Manor
Hours: Open Wednesday through Sunday 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Website: roguesmanor.com
We like Rogues Manor for their great food and also because it has a little more upscale and romantic feel. And if they ask you if you want rice or garlic mashed potatoes with your entrée, pick the potatoes! They are delicious!
Simply Scrumptious Tea Room
Hours: Open Tuesday to Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Website: simplyscrumptioustearoom.com
This restaurant is open only for lunch but their soups, sandwiches and desserts are excellent.

Knoxville, TN (Sports Network) - Tyler Bray threw for 293 yards and four touchdowns in leading the Tennessee Volunteers to a 37-17 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats in the regular season finale at Neyland Stadium.
Bray completed 20-of-34 pass attempts and had each of his touchdown passes go to a different receiver for Tennessee (5-7, 1-7 SEC) which also earned its first conference victory. Marlin Lane led the team on the ground with 75 yards on 10 carries.
