The Effect of Hospital Nurse Staffing on Patient Health Outcomes: Evidence from California's Minimum Staffing Regulation
Hospitals are currently under pressure to control the cost of medical care, while at the same time improving patient health outcomes. These twin concerns are at play in an important and contentious decision facing hospitals--choosing appropriate nurse staffing levels. Intuitively, one would expect nurse staffing ratios to be positively associated with patient outcomes. If so, this should be a key consideration in determining nurse staffing levels. A number of recent studies have examined this issue, however, there is concern about whether a causal relationship has been established. In this paper we exploit an arguably exogenous shock to nurse staffing levels. We look at the impact of California Assembly Bill 394, which mandated minimum levels of patients per nurse in the hospital setting. When the law was passed, some hospitals already had acceptable staffing levels, while others had nurse staffing ratios that did not meet mandated standards. Thus changes in hospital-level staffing ratios from the pre- to post-mandate periods are driven in part by the legislation. We find persuasive evidence that AB394 did have the intended effect of decreasing patient/nurse ratios in hospitals that previously did not meet mandated standards. However, our analysis suggests that patient outcomes did not disproportionately improve in these same hospitals. That is, we find no evidence of a causal impact of the law on patient safety.

Black as a moonless night,

For precious moments I
was lost in your embrace.

Your voice lost to my ears
Into the silent sea
I have poured silent tears.

Come back into my arms
Life is cold without you
Without your quiet charm.

[SPOILER ALERT: The following story contains the results of The Amazing Race 20 season premiere. Read at your own risk.]
There was no missing passport drama on the Season 20 premiere of The Amazing Race, but the final minutes served up what Phil Keoghan calls the "most bizarre Pit Stop we've ever had."
Amazing Race's Phil Keoghan: You'd be crazy not to watch because of Big Brother's Brendon and Rachel
Fighting for the last spot in the Top 10, sisters Misa and Maiya finished the empanada challenge before buddies Joey "Fitness" and Danny, and seemed on their way to safety at the Pit Stop behind the building. Instead, they ran out, looked around a few times and ran back inside — somehow missing Keoghan, the Pit Stop greeter and the production team who were visibly standing to their right. While they aimlessly searched the grounds, Joey and Danny arrived at the Pit Stop, ensuring the girls' elimination.
"I still cannot believe it happened," Keoghan tells TVGuide.com. "[CBS Entertainment President] Nina Tassler said to me the other day, 'Phil, the look on your face when you saw that they missed you, it's priceless.' I'm not going to call out, 'Hey, guys! I'm over here!' I'm just standing there going, 'Are you serious? You can't see me?'"
Keoghan estimates that they were about 80 yards apart. "I just thought they were taking their time," he says. "They could see me; I saw them. Everyone else saw me. We're standing there with cameras, the mat's there, the greeter's there. Short of having a flashing light above my head — we were there. Somehow they missed us, they went back into the building, went through the other side, walked all the way around the vineyards, then came back through the other side."

Nintendo showed off some of the Wii U's new television functionality during its New York City press event -- first unveiled during E3 2012 -- including DVR and TiVO, and search across several content providers (Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant, and cable television, to name a few). It's unclear whether the DVR functionality is built into the console or not, but we'll be sure to find out as soon as possible*. Nintendo's director of strategic partnership Zach Fountain's calling the service a "personalized program guide" and he showed off how you'll be able to interact with content -- movies and television shows can be searched via text entry, or explored in a general category sense (movies, tv, sports, etc.). If QWERTY text isn't your kind of thing, a rotary entry in the lower right corner offers another way to seek out content.
The service is only for US and Canadian Wii U owners for now, but Fils-Aime said the company's exploring an expansion into other parts of the Americas. Nintendo TVii is free with the purchase of a console this November. Click on past the break for the company's brief video demo.
Update*: DVR/TiVO functionality is not built into the hardware, we confirmed.%Gallery-165230%

(AP) Republicans are taking aim at Senate legislation overhauling the financial system, saying lack of controls on giant government-sponsored mortgage finance firms is a major flaw.
In the weekly Republican radio and Internet address, the
Senate's top Banking Committee Republican singles out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as being "left unscathed." Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby says the two firms helped create a demand for risky loans and inflated the housing bubble.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy mortgages from lenders and package them into bonds that are resold to global investors.
A GOP amendment to the financial overhaul legislation would require the government to give up control of Fannie and Freddie within two years and take steps to get out of the business of mortgage finance.
Shelby said, "This week, Republicans stood with America's small-business owners and offered a rational alternative that strengthens consumer protections without burdening Main Street with unnecessary regulations."
Democrats unanimously rejected that amendment.
Shelby also criticized the bill's consumer protection provisions as overreaching.
The Senate will begin voting again Tuesday on amendments to the bill. Despite a three-day workweek next week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has repeatedly said the bill must be finished by the end of the week.

Hi All,
Thanks for the helpful insight. You have given me lots to think about. I have pretty much decided that it will be Ritter due to the overall flexibility of the design.
As far as size goes, I looked at 8x20, but decided that if I was going to go that big, I would go all the way to 12x20 instead. Though I admit I thought briefly about 16x20, but only briefly. Now I just have to decide on the size, I might buy a 7x17 for now and add the 12x20 back later..............lots to decide!
Thanks again for all the help! Its greatly appreciated!

Sorry you think of bbPress the way you do. I think you will find much more info regarding bbPress on its 'official' site http://bbpress.org/.
If you have any questions ask a on the forums http://bbpress.org/forums/
Too bad you didn't find the bbPress codex before dropping this 1 star rating in here. Theming bbPress can't be much simpler than it is, and there is tons of great documentation in there.
Hi John and Stephen,
The rating I gave this plugin wasn't just ranting off, I'm sure you guys had put a lot of time and effort in this software and, I know that it stings, but this doesn't change the fact that documentation is beyond poor.
Take the following line for example:
""bbpress" contains template files; copy any you want to modify into a directory named "bbpress" in your theme's root. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/bbpress/"
Now there is no directory whatsoever anywhere called "mytheme", or if it refers to the installed theme on the WP, the path is wrong as WordPress themes don't reside just in the wp-content, or if it suggests that a directory should be made with some name, it's dauntingly unclear.
This is just one example not counting the countless grammatical oddities and errors throughout the documentation which just compound the bad experience. Quite frankly, any software is just as good as its documentation. If the user can't understand the flow or its purpose, it serves no purpose rather than frustrating the user.
It's common to lump the plugin together with the documentation. I think a more positive outlook is that in the time it takes to write these reviews, users can share what they learn on our codex, and improve the documentation for everyone else. Better to do good than be critical, imo.
External resources are something that takes time to fill in. If you're not comfortable opening up the code and looking around at the documentation in there, that's totally okay -- I don't usually go digging around the packages installed in OS X either, so I understand how you feel there.
Regarding documentation/users/experience/etc... Trust me, I totally understand. I've presented on the very idea at WordCamps and other conferences, it's just a constant work in progress. Some people enjoy helping out, and others like the convenience of everything being available to them right off the bat. I like both in certain conditions, and with WordPress plugins, I generally enjoy giving back and being helpful.
Your rating doesn't sting; you're completely entitled to your opinion, and we always welcome the feedback, positive or negative. Hopefully you decide to give it another shot later, and if so, I'm sure our community of users would appreciate the opportunity to learn from your experiences with bbPress.
P.S. - I've updated the codex page in question to be more clear about the theme name and location.

What if a BSG-styled remake of Babylon 5 was made?

Re: What if a BSG-styled remake of Babylon 5 was made?
The original
was awful and couldn't be brought back without serious changes.
The original
was fine, and shouldn't be altered to a great degree. But it could use some fine-tuning. The main issues I see are:
JMS' ego
. It's not like it's a big secret that the guy has an ego, so I guess this isn't being rude, right? I think he could profit from having collaborators to help reduce the annoying tics he has in his writing. Especially in that recent collection of new
stories, which bored me half to death, it was obvious that JMS has lost focus, and meanders around self-indulgently and doesn't get to the point quickly enough. Apparently he thinks anything w/n the
universe is inherently fascinating. Sorry, that's never the case with anything. You still need to work to hold the audience. Also, he's always had an annoying tendency to write villains as petty, mindless thugs - a very boring sort of antagonist - just so the hero can look all the more like Sir Gallahad. That tendency should be squelched wherever it raises its head.
The recent B5 stories were produced on a shoestring, and it certainly showed. What's the point of doing anything if the production values are so bad as to be distracting? Even if the acting and writing were top-notch, they would be undercut by the horrible SFX. It's hard not to notice that, especially in sci fi.
Dragging the original B5 actors back into the picture is not the best idea. Many of them weren't all that hot to begin with (Boxleitner in particular) and some of the better ones sadly are no longer with us. I'd be unsentimental about it and either recast the roles (if
can do it successfully, everyone should be able to - Kirk and Spock are among the most un-recastable characters ever) or come up with all-new characters. How about everyone's favorite never-realized idea, the Telepath Wars, with Zach Levi as Alfred Bester and Claire Danes as Lyta Alexander, plus some new characters?
When I say a BSG-styled remake, I'm not just talking in terms of action. I'm talking in terms of realistic characters with human flaws and dimensions. Like, imagine Garibaldi being more like Colonel Tigh with both his drinking problem and his unwavering loyalty to his friend and CO.
I never thought of Garibaldi as being anything but realistic. Maybe he wasn't quite as showy and ready with witty quips at every turn, like Tigh, but his alcoholism was believable and well presented. He seemed like a perfectly real character to me.
I don't know who these "unrealistic" people or events are that you saw in
. Within the context of space opera, it stuck me as real and not corny or contrived like some shows I could mention (cough*Stargate*cough).
What about Sinclair? Would he still have in the show? Or would have Sheridan being the commanding officer of Babylon 5 from the very beginning and have someone like Delenn and Sheridan's son be the one destined to become Valen?
If you recast the roles, either approach would work. If you don't recast the roles - erg. You pretty much have to.
And how would you portray Sheridan and Delenn's relationship in this remake? Would it have the feel of Adama and Roslin's relationship that starts off as a bit hostile and untrusting and grows into a strengtening bond of love and trust?
Sheridan and Delenn's relationship was fine the way it was developed. And when were Adama and Roslin actively "hostile"? They had differences in governing philosophy, sure, but that stemmed organically from the situation rather than being a personality conflic. If the plotline made it necessary that Sheridan and Delenn be at odds, then I suppose they would be. A remake shouldn't follow along the same plotline, since we've already seen that, so that's all an open question.

Generous contributions like this have made it possible for me to pursue my education, and have given me the chance at a career that I will love and that will help society. For this, I am extremely grateful.

nd, we are to regard it an example for us to follow; we are to offer up ourselves for our neighbors' benefit and for the honor of God. This offering is the exercise of our love--distributing our works for the benefit of our neighbors. He who so does is a Christian. He becomes one with Christ, and the offering of his body is identical with the offering of Christ's body. This is what Peter calls offering sacrifices acceptable to God by Christ. He describes priesthood and offering in these words: "Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." 1 Pet 2, 5.
6. Peter says "spiritual sacrifices," but Paul says our bodies are to be offered up. While it is true that the body is not spirit, the offering of it is called a spiritual sacrifice because it is freely sacrificed through the Spirit, the Christian being uninfluenced by the constraints of the Law or the fear of hell. Such motives, however, sway

I have a 6 digit integer.
How can I bump a each individual number so each number increases or decrease by 2?
ex."999999" to "111111"
I was thinking maybe spliting the number into pieces and then concatenating it back.

Might be more efficient way, but if you are dealing only with 6 digits number, the performance issue is neglectable.
Iterate over digits [using the % and / operators on the original number], and for each digit, calculate its +2 value [with %10], and add it to the new number, with the approppriate exponent.
Note: it will break if the number implicitly contains zeros on the left [i.e. if 123 should be converted to 222345]. You can take care of it by iterating while

text: I'd like to get completely rid of the beta files before getting the game from Steam, but as per the title I'm still getting this bug that blocks me from uninstalling. How do I get around this? I'd delete it manually, but since the game originally installed without creating its own folder the files are mixed together with files belonging to a different game in my program files folder. A list on which files belong to the PS2 beta would thus be helpful. I'd prefer to properly uninstall it though.

'Chicagoland': An unscripted saga of city life
Originally published March 5, 2014 at 11:17 a.m., updated March 5, 2014 at 11:17 a.m.
When President Barack Obama spoke out last week against the crime, violence and poverty that ensnares young men of color in epidemic numbers, he might have been voicing a promo for "Chicagoland," the docuseries debuting Thursday on CNN.
Noting ruefully how "we assume this is an inevitable part of American life instead of the outrage that it is," Obama set the stage for more than one Chicagoan to be featured in the show.
There are outrages aplenty in "Chicagoland" (whose eight episodes air Thursdays at 10 p.m. and repeat at 1 a.m. Eastern, with additional encores). But the series isn't a finger-wagging jeremiad, nor is it an unrelieved bummer to watch. While often disturbing, it is also hope-inspiring, and never less than dramatically addictive.
CNN has given over this airtime to independent filmmakers Marc Levin and Mark Benjamin, whose many collaborations include the Peabody Award-winning series "Brick City," a portrait of Newark, N.J., and Cory Booker, its then mayor, that aired on Sundance a few years ago to great acclaim.
Employing the same immersive, multi-stranded style of storytelling, "Chicagoland" chronicles a pivotal year in the life of a major heartland city and some memorable locals.
Prominent among them is Elizabeth Dozier, a dynamic young principal who has transformed her South Side high school from what had been a daily war zone into a safe haven in a neighborhood still riddled by gang violence.
Another "star" is Garry McCarthy, steely superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, who, as Newark's police director, played a major role in "Brick City." Now in Chicago, where a long list of problems includes the city's 70,000-strong gang population, McCarthy has a wry take on his mandate: "to save the world — can't you tell?"
But no one on "Chicagoland" casts a longer, more commanding shadow than Rahm Emanuel. Formerly a senior aide to President Bill Clinton, a U.S. Congressman and Obama's chief of staff, Emanuel during 2013 is at the midpoint of a bruising first term as Chicago's boss. Among his battles, he is clashing with the powerful teacher's union as he pushes for a moneysaving consolidation plan that would close 54 under-enrolled schools, many in poorer neighborhoods whose population has dwindled.
The vote, which would affect some 30,000 students, looms in May 2013. Emanuel argues that reallocating resources will improve public education overall. But the viewer can't help but be troubled by the opposition's comeback: Closing a neighborhood school could imperil its displaced students when they're forced to make their way to a newly assigned school through city blocks controlled by warring gang factions.
In a heartbreaking scene, tears roll down a young girl's cheeks as she describes her fright at crossing a certain street, a "gang line" that marks rival turf where "they even tried to beat on my little sister, and she's only in the first grade."
But the you-are-there immediacy gets more graphic.
Alice Thomas, the mother of a second-grader who, two years earlier, was shot while outside playing, explains how, were her school to be closed, the still-traumatized child might come face-to-face at her new school with relatives of the person who shot her.
Then, a few moments later, the camera re-encounters Thomas shortly after her boyfriend was gunned down in front of her.
"I just fell to the ground and balled up," says Thomas, who, when she got up, found him dying.
"You happen to be down the street and a shooting happens," Levin recalled last week at the Manhattan production offices of Brick City TV. "You end up on the porch of a family, talking to them, before even the authorities are there."
"It's hard when you're trying to focus and you have tears in your eyes," said Benjamin, who recounted his filming the funeral of a local man who had served in Iraq and then, returning to the 'hood, was shot in the back. "You can't believe you're seeing this."
But not all of "Chicagoland" is grim. Chicago's beauty, brio and, a few El stops north, its prosperity are also part of this saga.
"This is a tale of two cities," said Laura Michalchyshyn, another of the series' executive producers. "That's been a big challenge: finding a balance between both kinds of stories."
The first step in the storytelling process, according to Benjamin: "Overshoot." He said three film crews, one led by him, were deployed in the Windy City for much of last year, amassing 1,000 hours of video. (And they still haven't wrapped: As recently as Sunday, "Chicagoland" cameras caught Emanuel's icy dip in Lake Michigan as he made good on his pledge of a "Polar Plunge" if the city's children read 2 million books.)
But from that vast trove, how could anyone identify the key narratives and personalities?
"You take the footage into the editing room as late into the night as possible, when you're about to fall asleep," said Levin. "Then, when something you see really opens your eyes, you know that's the beginning."
From beginning to end, "Chicagoland" is certain to open its audience's eyes.

A sterling defensive display by the Republic of Ireland saw them hold Russia to what could prove a crucial 0-0 draw in their UEFA EURO 2012 Group B qualifying match.
The Irish, who trail Russia now by two points with two matches remaining, had Aston Villa duo Shay Given and Richard Dunne to thank for keeping their automatic qualifying chances still very much alive.
It was a third successive scoreless draw for Republic of Ireland, who had to remodel their first choice defence radically with John O'Shea was injured and Sean St Ledger suspended. Leeds United's Darren O'Dea and Stephen Kelly stepped in for the rare start.
Given pulled off a stunning save in the eighth minute from Andrei Arshavin's rasping 30 yards shot, turning it around the post for a corner. The Aston Villa goalkeeper, winning his 116th cap and who made his international debut against the Russians, was at it again in the 22nd minute as he dived to his right to turn away a volley from Igor Semshov after Alexsandr Kerzahkov had put in a dangerous cross.
Dunne then produced a remarkable goalline clearance as Given was for once beaten, but the veteran defender managed to block Semshov's shot with his leg as Russia piled the pressure on the Irish goal.
Former Chelsea player Yuri Zhirkov looked a different player to the one rarely given a chance in England and having been the provider for Semshov's goal-bound shot, he nearly turned scorer as tried to curl it in at the near post, only for Given to recover and push it away.
Russia began the second-half in the same determined fashion and Dunne again had to be alert to block Roman Shirokov's shot from inside the penalty area.
Semshov then made an extraordinary misjudgement in the 55th minute, again breaking through the fragile Irish defence, but he chose to pass it into empty space rather than shoot himself with only Given to beat.
Dunne picked up a booking later in the half which has ruled him out of the next qualifier against Andorra.
Dunne produced another breathtaking block, though, and then Given came to the rescue for the Irish as he pulled off an instinctive save with his legs from Konstantin Zyryanov's point blank header with the final whistle approaching.

Have you heard of Facebeast?
YOU can go from knowing how to use Facebook to making money on Facebook OVERNIGHT!
Facebeast is here, and it's huge. This program really is a game changer for people who make money online. Now you no longer need to know HTML, own a website, understand CSS, SEO, worry about back-links, or hosting charges to make an absolute mint online.
For those of us who are making money online this will open the field to a whole new crop of people who maybe had little chance, or passion to make money online. Mom and Pop sales through Facebook is going to become the craze because of this system.
Imagine someone who has no idea or a small amount of knowledge on how to succeed with online marketing now having all the tools they need, along with step by step videos to teach exactly how to make money on Facebook Fast.
Now for those of you who have never made anything before online, and are considering it. I HIGHLY recommend it. In fact, it may truly be your one shot at it and have it be very successful.
You only need to know how to use the basics of Facebook, follow the directions, watch the cash flow in. It really has been made just that easy.
Now, for us my fellow IM'rs we may be looking at one small problem. As it is Facebook advertising for us is UNREAL. It really can be the difference between making some money, and making a MINT! And with all these new people getting into Social Media marketing. It's scary to think what will happen to CPC's, or the market as a whole. Let's face it, too many ads will drive away people from wanting to use Facebook.
So, I can honestly say Face Beast is a winner. The claims they make are REAL. It's simple to use with how to step by step videos. You need NO expertise whatsoever. And the platform is already up and running for you. No need to make a website. If you want to check it out for yourself the link is HERE. Part of me really doesn't want you to go there because I have enough competition as it is…LOL

Stocks are dropping sharply on Wall Street as investors fear that there may not be a quick resolution to a budget impasse in Washington.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 200 points in late afternoon trading Wednesday after President Barack Obama insisted that higher tax payments from wealthy Americans would have to be part of any deal, something opposed by Republicans in Congress
Shortly before the close of trading the Dow was off 185 points at 12,571. It was down 83 points before Obama began a news conference at 1:30 p.m.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 19 to 1,355 and the Nasdaq composite was down 37 points at 2,847.

Review for Speakeasydc, Washington, DC, USA
I attended a SpeakEasyDC performance last summer during the 2010 Fringe Festival. The stories were wonderful and well told, and served as a reminder that we all have amazing things to share. In this age of "soundbites" and speedy communication, it is also gratifying to know that the ancient art of storytelling is still alive.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Daily News on Nuclear, Biological & Chemical Weapons, Terrorism and Related Issues
U.S. to Discuss N. Korea Rocket Launch With Asian Allies
The United States intends next week to separately discuss with Japan and South Korea appropriate measures for reacting to North Korea's December space rocket launch, the Korea Herald reported.
Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell is to lead a U.S. delegation in the bilateral talks in Seoul and Tokyo. There is also expected to be a meeting between the chief South Korean and Japanese negotiators to the frozen six-party process aimed at achieving permanent North Korean denuclearization.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, in a Wednesday telephone conversation with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, urged "resolute Security Council action" in response to Pyongyang's space launch, which evidently violated the 15-nation body's prohibitions against North Korean use of ballistic missile technology.
Anticipated three-way talks beginning in January are intended to build coordination on foreign policy and defense matters between the second-term Obama administration and the newly elected Japanese and South Korean governments against a backdrop of continued North Korean nuclear weapons and missile development and China's increasingly aggressive maritime posture, the Japanese Yomiuri Shimbun reported.
South Korean President-elect Park Geun-hye on Thursday renewed her pledge to work to stop the North's atomic activities, though she did not rule out bilateral engagement with Pyongyang.
In a meeting with Park, a high-level Chinese diplomat shared his nation's skepticism on potential Security Council sanctions against North Korea in the wake of the December rocket launch. China's veto power on the council ensures that no new harsh measures will be passed without tacit Beijing support.

LAS CRUCES >> Zia Middle School sixth-grade science teacher Anna Suggs received a Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching, which includes a $10,000 prize from the National Science Foundation and a certificate signed by President Barack Obama.
Suggs is one of 102 mathematics and science teachers from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Department of Defense Education Activity to receive the award. It will be presented later this year in Washington, D.C.
"These teachers are inspiring today's young students to become the next generation of American scientists, mathematicians and innovators," Obama said in a December 2013 news release announcing the award. "Through their passion and dedication, and by sharing their excitement about science, technology, engineering and math, they are helping us build a promising future for all our children."
Suggs said the award is affirmation and inspiration to her.
"The award affirms that the years of hard work of constantly refining the art of teaching science have been recognized," she said. "The inspiration is that, now that I have the award, I must continue work to empower my students and colleagues with a love of science and learning."
Suggs has been a sixth-grade teacher for 21 years, including the last 15 at Zia, she said.
A colleague nominated her for the award.
The rigorous application process included videotaping, extensive writing and professional recommendations, Suggs said.
She was one of 10 math and science teachers selected as state finalists from New Mexico. At the national level, applications were reviewed by a selection committee comprised of prominent mathematicians, scientists and educators. Two finalists in math or science were selected for each state.
During her tenure at Zia, Suggs has been instrumental in implementing and participating in multiple after-school science and technology programs, including the Science Math and Aerospace Academy, Growing Up Thinking Scientifically Computer Club, BEST robotics teams and Technology Students Association.
Suggs and her students also participate in the NASA Remote Sensing Earth Science Teacher Program and have been conducting research at White Sands National Monument for the past five years. The research has involved hundreds of students, as well as teachers, university personnel, the local model airplane club and parents.
Suggs has also been the Zia seventh- and eighth-grade girls' volleyball coach for seven years. Her teams have won four city championships. She has also presented at summer institutes and science conferences.
Suggs shared this on the impact of teaching science: "Early in my teaching career, my students and I started a campaign to ban the use of Styrofoam cups and plates in our school. This campaign was then presented by several students to the superintendent of our school district and published in the local newspaper. This article was read by a manufacturer of Styrofoam egg cartons who sent a representative to the classroom.
"My students stood their ground in their fight for the environment. Many years later, one of those former students, now an adult, told me that he had never forgotten that project and remembers the positive impact of defeating big business for a worthy cause."
Suggs has a bachelor's of science in agricultural animal science and a master of arts in curriculum and instruction from New Mexico State University.

After long and deep consideration, I have decided that I am going to move away from writing this blog. My decision is based on a number of factors but here are some of the primary reasons:
1) I am entering a new phase in my spiritual and magical life and I am going to need more time for study and meditation. I am already pushed to try to get content on the site while responding to the demands of a full time job, family etc. and I do not, realistically, think that I will be able to keep this schedule up with the new demands that will be placed on me.
2) I noted the other day that I have posted over 170 times. Given that my word count is usually 900 words or more, for any given blog, that means that I have written over 150,000 words here and probably closer to 200,000 or more. While I know there are some dedicated readers out there, the response to all this work has, according to readership stats, been underwhelming.
3) Finally, I will freely admit that I am disillusioned with the whole field. I am not going to write about this since anything that I put down sounds bitter and has the ring of sour grapes.
Blessings to you who have been readers of the blog, both long term and short. I will leave the content online for people's reference and any comments etc will still be referred to me via email. Take good care, all of you, keep digging into those mysteries that interest you and be safe out there.

First ride: BMW C 600 Sport maxi-scooter has the brand's sporty flair
With a brand forever linked with the "ultimate driving machine" tagline, you might not associate BMW with scooters. But BMW has built scooters for years in Europe, and it has been making inroads stateside with its own take on efficient, urban transportation. We recently rode its C 600 maxi-scooter, a relatively large scooter designed for two-up highway riding, and came away impressed.
Packaging is often an advantage scooters hold over motorcycles. With its own trick, the C 600 Sport has a clever expandable storage compartment below the two-person seat that will hold two full-face helmets, as long as the bike is parked. (You have to fold in the back half of the storage well before riding, or the rear tire will rub against it.) With the extra storage flap tucked away, the under-seat compartment will hold one full-face helmet—handy for running to the train station, for example, to pick up a passenger. (Check out the new Honda Forza scooter.)
Visit our motorcycle buying guide for advice on choosing the right bike and motorcycle safety.
This scooter line comes in two models, the C 600 Sport that we rode and the C 650 GT, which has saddle bags, a lower seat height, higher handlebars, a power height-adjustable windshield. The GT lacks the under-seat storage expansion. Both use the same high-compression 60-hp engine, despite their divergent designations. BMW rates them at 53 mpg at a steady 56 mph. No figures are offered for urban riding. The downside here is that they require premium fuel.
The BMW C 600 Sport is powered by a 60-hp, 647cc, inline twin-cylinder engine. A continuously variable transmission and a centrifugal clutch make the C 600 Sport easy for new riders to learn. There are twin 10.6-inch disc brakes up front and a single disc to the rear. A proven, life-saving safety system, antilock brakes are standard. Top speed is rated at 109 mph; we thought better of testing that claim.
With just a slight twist of the throttle, the big bike feels torquey and eager to surge ahead. It's very docile at parking lot speeds and on the highway. However, at medium speeds, we found the engine a little lumpy and coarse.
The controls couldn't be easier. With everything right at your fingertips, you don't have to reach for anything, although we didn't play with the intimidating LCD trip computer. Handling is light and nimble for such a big scooter, making it quite an enjoyable ride. And when we say, "big," we mean it. This scoot weighs 549 pounds—over a hundred pounds more than a BMW G 650 GS motorcycle.
