Graduate Programs
The Kent State University College of Nursing offers the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), the Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.)*, the Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.), several post-master's certificate programs and two dual-degree programs in combination with other non-nursing master's programs at Kent State University. The dual-degree programs offered are the Master of Science in Nursing/Master of Business Administration and the Master of Science in Nursing/Master of Public Administration.
The Ph.D. in Nursing is offered jointly with The University of Akron College of Nursing. The purpose of the program is to prepare nurse scholars who will conduct research that advances nursing science. This purpose is realized through a curriculum focused on developing and testing theories and models of nursing science; on the dissemination of scientific nursing knowledge; and on health care and nursing policy and leadership. Graduates are characterized by the excellence of their leadership, research, teaching, and application of nursing and health care policy.
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.)program, effective spring 2011, prepares advanced practice nurses to lead in applying research evidence to clinical practice, and to contribute to improved health care outcomes via direct practice, policy change, systems evaluation and practice scholarship. Program emphasis is on the interplay among advances in scientific knowledge, technology, and information systems in support of quality patient care outcomes and their impact on human health. Six of 12 courses are offered cooperatively with the University of Akron College of Nursing.
The Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.) incorporates concepts of advanced practice nursing throughout the program. Students are prepared to function in clinical, managerial or leadership roles as dictated by their concentration and role specialties, and to be eligible for doctoral study. The program's graduates hold leadership positions in a variety of roles in urban and rural settings in Ohio and nationally. Graduates of the advanced practice concentrations at Kent State University are eligible for national certification examination.
The M.S.N. program includes concentrations in the focal areas of acute care, the adult, family, geriatric, health care management, nursing educator, psychiatric-mental health, women's health and pediatric nursing. The roles of Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) and Nurse Practitioner (NP) exist in all the focal areas except health care management and nurse educator; and in acute care, family, and women's health, only the NP is available. The two roles can be combined or separately pursued in psychiatric-mental health nursing. Psychiatric mental health nursing CNS role is further subdivided into adults or child-adolescent.
The dual-degree programs of the Master of Science in Nursing and the Master of Business Administration (M.S.N.-M.B.A.) and the Master of Science in Nursing and the Master of Public Administration (M.S.N.-M.P.A.) are designed for experienced nurses whose career goals include assuming middle- or executive-management positions in health services agencies or companies, or who are interested in starting their own businesses. Practical management knowledge and skills are concurrently integrated with nursing courses and relevant management experiences in the form of practical and internships. Both curriculae are cost and time effective for nurses with clear goals and demanding schedules. Clinical courses are not required but may be added if desired.
A BSN-MSN Bridge Option is available for qualified undergraduate KSU nursing students seeking to expedite the transition from undergraduate to graduate studies in nursing. Qualified undergraduate students may take up to 12 credit hours at the master's level and apply those hours toward completion requirements for their undergraduate degrees. Applying for the Bridge Option just prior to junior year of undergraduate studies will give students the greatest opportunity to use up to 12 credit hours of substitute MSN coursework. The college/department determines the undergraduate coursework for which graduate credits may be substituted.
The College of Nursing is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
Persons seeking additional information on graduate study in nursing should consult the College of Nursing, Graduate Office at 330-672-2234 or http://www.kent.edu/nursing.

Zodiac Calendar
This face comprises a disc representing the 12 signs of the zodiac. To explain its function, we first need to consider briefly the most important star: the Sun. We all know that our year is defined by the time it takes the Earth to make a complete journey around the Sun. But we could equally talk about the Sun's apparent journey around the celestial sphere taking the Earth as our reference point. In astronomy, the tropical year begins at the vernal equinox point, which corresponds to the spring equinox, when day and night are of equal length. The tropical year lasts some 365.242 mean solar days or, expressed in more conventional terms, 365 days, 5 hours and 49 minutes. This imaginary solar voyage follows what is called an 'ecliptic' course. It comprises 360 degrees and is divided into the twelve houses of the zodiac. In relation to the celestial equator, an imaginary extension of the terrestrial equator, the Sun's path runs at an angle of 23 degrees and 27 minutes. Under normal circumstances, the Sun enters the constellation of Pisces on 21 March. At this time, it finds itself directly above the terrestrial equator, such that the days and nights are of the same length. It then continues its journey in the direction of the northern hemisphere. At the beginning of Taurus, the Sun's path crosses the celestial equator. Three months later, when it reaches the tropic of Cancer on 21 June, the Sun is at its maximum distance from the celestial equator. This point in the constellation of Gemini is called the summer solstice. Afterwards, the Sun directs itself again towards the south and the celestial equator. It crosses the latter on 23 September when it reaches Libra. The journey south in the direction of the tropic of Capricorn ends with the winter solstice on 21 December. At this time, the Sun enters into the house of Sagittarius before again setting out on its path towards the north and a new crossing of the celestial equator. The Sun reaches the latter around 21 March, when the spring equinox completes the tropical year. In astronomy there are 88 constellations, of which only twelve bear the names of the signs of the zodiac. From an astrological point of view, it is important to distinguish between the constellations and the signs of the zodiac. The constellations are simply groups of stars which are moving slowly west of the signs of the zodiac as established by Ptolemy in 200 AD. Because of the precession, a minimal but constant shifting of the terrestrial axis, the Sun is now always to be found in the preceding sign of the zodiac. For instance, it is in Leo during the sign of Virgo. Eighteen hundred years ago the situation was quite different. When the signs of the zodiac were first given their names, the Sun was indeed to be found in the sign of the zodiac corresponding to that of the constellation of the same name. Thanks to the gyroscopic movement of the terrestrial axis, this will again be the case in around 24,000 years. Future owners of a Reverso grande complication à triptyque can afford to ignore these astronomical niceties, however. In fact, their watch indicates at one and the same time the zodiacal calendar around the circumference of the dial and the position of the constellations in the aperture of the celestial horizon.

Comments On Nov 16, 2013:I've used these lights for a year now and not had any issues. They've been through some nasty crashes, drops, and just tip overs. I was concerned they would not stand up to the tough trails we do.
I was on a ride where my buddy was across a small ravine after the trail crossed a creek. I could hear him stuck on something so I turned my lights to shine on him and it was like spotting deer.
They certainly put out a lot of light. I like the dual kit as I can point one light to be further out and one to be closer to the trail.

Comments On Nov 07, 2010:i brought these lights two days ago and had them rushed to my house the next day so that i could use them for my hunting trip this weekend. i put them on and they are the brightest lights ive ever seen but after one ride, one of the lights is out already.
Additional Comments On Dec 14, 2010:i have gotten the new light in from trail tech after hours of fighting on the phone when they lost the light and had no record of me even calling them. i put the new light on drove a good 10 feet and its out again. i called the company to find out what the deal is and they said they would just rather refund me, shows how confident they are in their products. WOULD NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT unless you are up for 2 months of waiting and $100 in extra shipping costs to send it back and forth just to have it break before you even get to use it.

There's a new development to a strange story we've been telling you about all week.
Colorado Springs police say no charges will be filed against a young mother who claimed she found a baby in the dumpster.
It turns out the baby was her own and she was hiding her pregnancy from her family.
Police say the baby was never in the dumpster and was not injured. The girl gave birth on December 6, then claimed to find the baby to explain her sudden presence.
The 17-year-old told a neighbor that she had found the child. It happened at an apartment complex off Garden of the Gods and Nevada.
Police were called and quickly learned the infant, who was only 6 to 12 hours old, was actually hers.
Neighbors we talked to were shocked about the false story, but thankful that the baby was no real danger.
Because she lied to police officers about finding the baby, she could have faced a felony for influencing a public official or a misdemeanor for false reporting.
But police say right now she won't face any criminal charges.
We're told the mother does not have custody of the child. The teen is working with the Department of Human Services.
So what happens to the baby?
Ultimately we're told it's up to a judge.
Instead of criminal courts the case has been turned over to civil courts, that's why she isn't facing any criminal charges right now.
Investigators thought the case would be best handled in civil court.
The judge could require the mother to do things, such as take parenting classes to get the child back. Or it could be put into foster care.
You can count on 11 News to stay on top of this story and let you know what happens to the baby girl.

The final book of Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove tetralogy is an exhilarating tale of legend and heroism. Captain Woodrow Call, August McCrae's old partner, is now a bounty hunter hired to track down a brutal young Mexican bandit. Riding with Call are an Eastern city slicker, a witless deputy, and one of the last members of the Hat Creek outfit, Pea Eye Parker, now married to Lorena - once Gus McCrae's sweetheart. This long chase leads them across the last wild streches of the West into a hellhole known as Crow Town and, finally, into the vast, relentless plains of the Texas frontier.
©2010 Larry McMurty (P)2010 Simon and Schuster Audio
"Streets of Laredo is a splendid addition to the literary portrait of McMurtry's native Texas and the West that he has been creating for three decades. It's also one of his most affectingly melancholy books.... The characters are as finely etched as any McMurtry has ever minted." (Newsweek)
"One of McMurtry's most powerful and moving achievements." (Los Angeles Times)
"A marvelous novel in its own right and in every way a worthy successor to Lonesome Dove." (Chicago Tribune)
"An noy ing nar rat orrr"
Will never touch a book read by this narrator. most annoying and unnatural cadence. Mispronunciations throughout and awful attempt at accents.
Nope. Narration is too distracting.
Anyone but.
"A guy responds"
I loved Lonesome Dove. This is not nearly as good.
The reader is almost as good as Lonesome dove. I liked him.
Seemed like some characters that got killed in LD were reinevented as new characters here.
The plot was slow.
A good enough listen, but not LD. I won't read anymore in the series at this point.
"Torturous listening"
Could he read any slower?? I am a big Larry McMurtry fan but after trying to listen for a few hours I had to delete this book because, aside from the story going nowhere, the reader was driving me crazy. I even increased the speed on my iPod but it didn't help. At the risk of sounding mean, I will avoid any other books narrated by this reader.
"what a disappointment..."
I have no idea. Not fans of LONESOME DOVE, I can tell you that...
Maybe. LONESOME DOVE was very good, so he's definitely capable of good writing. Maybe I'll be luckier next time (though it definitely WON'T be a western, I can tell you that...)
No particular character -- I just thought he did a decent job overall (though his halting pronunciation of "Famous Shoes" does seem a little odd...). He is a wonderful character actor and has that great character actor voice...given more colorful phraseology like that in TRUE GRIT, I think he would definitely do the material justice. But here he was bound by the bland and uninteresting writing of McMurtry. The dialogue was weak, and the exposition dull and lacking any real detail. I don't recall that he even bothered to describe any of the characters aside from general size (Brookshire was fat, Call was small, etc.) or gender (Lorena is pretty). Kinda hard to picture someone if you don't know what they look like...I guess you're supposed to rely on your memory of the LONESOME DOVE miniseries? Anyway, I can't imagine any narrator making this material interesting. I hope Mr. Von Bargen gives audio books another go someday and finds a novel that is up to his talents.
So many scenes are utterly superfluous to the main plot -- like anything to do with Judge Roy Bean or John Wesley Hardin or Charlie Loving, none of whom actually do much and only serve as famous cameos. The entire Doobie Plunkert subplot. Any time he brought up characters from LONESOME DOVE, as it was invariably to take a dump on our memory of them and make sure we knew there were no happy endings. Any scene dealing with evil incarnate Joey Garza or his saintly mother Maria. Come to think of it, I could've done without the whole story. In the future, I'll treat this book like ALIEN 3...it never happened. I prefer to think that the Hat Creek operation is still going on up there in Montana, Dish is still intent on wooing Lorena, and Newt may yet get his father to acknowledge him...
Late in the book, Ned Brookshire despairs about his trip into the wilderness with Woodrow Call -- "he had taken them from somewhere to nowhere, and accomplished nothing..." That's actually a pretty good summary of this book. There are no real heroes in this book, only villains and victims. Writers have been "demythologizing" the American West for so long now that it's just tiresome. Unfortunately this is just more of the same.
I enjoy counter-terrorism, westerns, historical fiction, detective mysteries, and old school comedy like "A Christmas Story".
"Loved it....didn't want the story to end!"
I loved all the books in the Lonesome Dove series. Was originally sold on the series when I watched the mini series starring two of my all time favorites, Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall. This motivated me to download all 4 books in this series and I loved all four and loved three of the four DVD's I subsequently purchased. Because I loved the audio book Streets of Laredo as much as the other three in the series, I ordered the DVD Streets of Laredo(the only DVD I had not yet seen). Unfortunately, James Garner just didn't do it for me. No way could he "hold a candle" to Tommy Lee Jones. But I highly recommend this audio book: great story and narration....wonderful value!
Many explorations and adventures await!
"Terrible McMurtry Book - Depressing & Painful"
I enjoyed the Lonesome Dove serious, but this book is a terrible way to end the series if it actually ever ends. This book was written with no plot in mind and was obviously done while the writer was on the toilet. Book is painfully over-detailed with parts making you want to fast forward to find a happy moment, but no happy endings, no bright futures for the characters and no sense of realism of pioneering America. Full of evil winning every moment just awful. I am thoroughly disgusted with the reader who was monotone like reading from a childsbook. Sad, depressing, morbid and boring....buyers beware.
"Good closure for fans of the series."
I loved hearing more about the classic characters in this series. The Captain is my favorite.
But there was actually very little action within the town or literal streets of Laredo.; if you care… It should have been called, Crow Town.
I had some closure after reading most of the other books. Fans deserve closure. It's just not exactly what I expected.
No. I rarely speed the audio up but found myself annoyed with the narrator's pace and poor accents. Why so many pauses?
"he was walking a, long."
and "His name was Famous, Shoes."If this was the first book in the series I had picked up, I'd probably not have finished listening. But I wanted to know what happened to everyone.
I wish McMurtry didn't kill his characters off so readily or without a good explanation. If they must die, at least save it for the story and don't just eliminate them between books.
McMurtry built up Newt so much in Lonesome Dove, but he's suddenly gone like he was irrelevant.
Many of those older characters would have fit in perfectly in this book for instance, instead of creating new people with similar traits but different names.
And what happens to Clara is out of the blue. She's there, then she's stomped to death. No need! It's frustrating at times.
I would only recommend you get this book, if you're already hooked on the Lonesome Dove series. There is too much referential backstory involved to stand on its own.
Others say this isn't like Lonesome Dove, but it's not supposed to be. It's an intriguing continuation of the overall saga, and offers just as much hope and heartache as the other books in the series.
I just wish Audible kept the same narrator throughout for character voice consistency.
As for the author, he sure loves to kill off his best characters for seemingly no reason other than to remove them from the story. That part sucks a lot.
"Pretty slow paced not enough action"
This book got a very slow start, he says a lot of words to not make much happen, there's a lot better books out there than this one I wouldn't waste good money on it.
"McMurtry The Emotion Killer"
Although I like McMurtry's books, this one just seemed to take the cake when I finished it tonight. It seems to me that Larry loves to introduce his characters into his stories, gets you to love them or hate them, and then kills them off slowly! I think he just likes to play with his "readers-listeners" emotions, similarly to some of his characters "killings". Why else would all the main characters be gone now, in the Lonesome Dove saga's, well......almost gone, only one's left are P-i, Lorena, and barely by a whisker, Call.
"Very good all round"
Very well told.A good listen to while away the midnight hours and does drive away the blues '
"Gripping follow on to lonesome Dove"
Like Lonesome Dove takes a while to get going. But is a gripping story well narrated. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A typical outfit would include lace tops and miniskirts, both available in our costume sections, as well as leggings or fishnet stockings, lace ribbons and headbands, multiple bracelets, fishnet fingerless gloves and beads, which are all available right here in our accessories section. Cyndi Lauper's style was more colorful, including her bright hair, bright makeup and colorful billowy skirts. She was also a fan of beads and bracelets and large jewelry, available here as well. Other fashionable items sold here include leg warmers, neon mesh shirts and T-shirt clips.
For men, the Miami Vice look, t-shirts under pastel colored suit jackets, was all the rage as was the preppy look. Some men preferred heavy metal styles while still others preferred a rapper/ hip-hop look. For these men, we have guitars, faux ghetto blasters and jewelry.
We have too many selections to list them all here. Browse through this section and you will find accessories to complement your outfit.

As I write this post, I'm hanging my head in shame. You see, dear readers, I've been holding out on you. Not intentionally, mind you, but holding out just the same. The other day, as I was sifting through recipes to include in my Easter brunch roundup, I re-read my old post on Savory Vegetable Noodle Kugel and realized something. In that post I told you about a fab recipe for a Cherry Noodle Kugel that I was going to share. And, I never did. I swear, I meant to! It just never happened. My sin was one of omission, and I intend to rectify it right now! Since this week also marks the beginning of the Jewish celebration of Passover, I think it's the perfect time to do it. Besides, it gives me an excuse to make this wickedly good kugel again.
Now, before I get thousands of comments informing me that Jews don't eat wheat products during Passover, let me say that I do know that. However, Passover is a Jewish holiday and kugel is a Jewish dish, so I'm using one to segue into the other. Besides, I also know that there are "Passover noodles" made with potato starch, and other gluten-free pasta products available at the supermarket. Any of them would work in this dish.
I acquired this recipe more years ago than I care to remember from a sweet, Jewish "Bubbe" named Esther. She and her husband, Jerry, had been old friends of my family for ages. Since my own grandparents were already gone, I kind of secretly adopted them as surrogates. Esther was originally from Brooklyn, so she definitely knew a few things about kugel. Come to think of it, she knew a few things about brisket too. And, matzoh balls. But that's a story for another day. read more >>

http://mmajunkie.com As expected Phil Davis (6-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) has replaced injured light heavyweight Stanislav Nedkov (11-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and now meets Rodney Wallace (9-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) at next month's UFC 117 event.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) passed along news of the bout on Thursday.
Davis since has confirmed the fight via a Twitter message, one in which he predicts he'll move to 7-0.
UFC 117 takes place Aug. 7 at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., and the night's main card airs on pay-per-view. However, the Davis vs. Wallace bout is slated for the un-aired preliminary card.
UFC officials have not officially announced the change, though Nedkov vs. Wallace was removed from the official fight card.
Davis, an NCAA Division I national wrestling champ at Penn State, is 2-0 since signing with the UFC and debuting earlier this year. After topping former WEC champ Brian Stann at UFC 109, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt then submitted Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 112 to move to 6-0 overall.
Another win from Davis likely will send his opponent packing from the UFC. Although he entered the UFC with a remarkable 9-0 record, Wallace, a three-time state high-school wrestling champion, since has posted back-to-back decision losses to Stann and Jared Hamman. However, that action-packed and crowd-pleasing fight with Hamann at UFC 111, which all three judges scored 29-28 in Hamman's favor, earned both fighters $65,000 "Fight of the Night" bonuses and earned Wallace a third UFC fight.
The latest UFC 117 card now includes:
- Champ Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen (for middleweight title)
- Thiago Alves vs. Jon Fitch
- Rafael dos Anjos vs. Clay Guida
- Ricardo Almeida vs. Matt Hughes
- Junior Dos Santos vs. Roy Nelson
- Tim Boetsch vs. Thiago Silva
- Dustin Hazelett vs. Rick Story
- Christian Morecraft vs. Stefan Struve
- Charlie Brenneman vs. Johny Hendricks
- Dennis Hallman vs. Ben Saunders
- Phil Davis vs. Rodney Wallace*
* – Not officially announced

Are Biofuels Crops Sustainable?
Source: Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
A Sustained Effort
New crops produce biofuels,
but are they sustainable?
Established in 2007, Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Bioenergy Science Center (BESC) could be viewed as the heir to decades of innovative environmental research at the laboratory. The first environmental studies at ORNL were conducted in the 1950s. Over the past three decades, researchers developed a comprehensive portfolio of research data from their studies of biofeedstock options and dedicated bioenergy crops. Today the center has more than 80 staff members working on diverse aspects of bioenergy, including systems biology, transportation analysis, and the impact of various bioenergy options on the environment. Their work provides a significant contribution to national and international policy debates. Among the most notable examples of these contributions is the "Billion Ton Study," a 2006 document that explored issues associated with the possibility of sustainably producing one billion tons of biomass feedstock annually in the United States.
Building on this legacy, ORNL's Center for BioEnergy Sustainability (CBES) is emerging as a valuable resource for understanding the challenges of sustaining the growth of biofeedstocks and the environmental considerations necessary for the production and distribution of biofuels and other bio-based products. "One of the center's primary goals is to foster communication among scientific teams at the laboratory as well as among national and international research groups who are studying many of these same issues," says CBES Director Virginia Dale. "We would like to expand their research focus to elements of sustainability along the entire supply chain."
The CBES performs work designed to complement the research at BESC, where scientists are seeking to unlock the secrets of cellulosic biofuels. CBES studies of how soils, economic factors and land use affect where energy crops can be grown dovetail nicely with BESC's development of new and improved poplar and switchgrass feedstocks. "CBES provides valuable information about available land where biomass can best be grown to enhance sustainability," Dale says. "Our researchers employ a suite of computer models to arrive at these determinations. Databases maintained at ORNL and elsewhere contribute to these models, as does the long history of involvement in feedstock development." Robin Graham, leader of ORNL's Renewable Energy Systems group, notes that the Environmental Sciences Division was asked by the Department of Energy in the late 1970s to identify which feedstocks would be suitable for bioenergy. Over the next three decades researchers considered a range of issues, including which species would be good bioenergy candidates, their potential for improvement, the cost of production and factors associated with harvesting and transportation to the biorefinery. "ORNL has always been the lab upon which DOE relied to determine which feedstocks are available now and which ones might be options in "she says.
In recent years, CBES has collaborated with the University of Tennessee and other institutions to design large-scale experiments that examine the environmental, social and economic consequences of biomass production. The experiments enable researchers to compare plantings of traditional crops with bioenergy crops to determine the relative effects on soil, water quality and yield per acre. "When BESC has a bioenergy crop ready for field tests," Dale says, "we have locations and experimental designs for studies that include 'control' groups of traditional crops, along with native and hybrid switchgrass. The studies enable us to compare the effects of growing different bioenergy crops." Designing experiments on a large scale makes it possible for CBES researchers to incorporate ecological factors that are not practical in smaller "field plot" experiments. This analysis in turn provides the BESC with information about the sustainability of potential feedstocks.
"There are always tradeoffs," Dale says. "We would like to find crops and management systems that are compatible with good water quality and soil conditions and that provide a desirable habitat for birds, beneficial insects and other animals. Ideally, growing and harvesting the crop would also result in low greenhouse gas emissions, while allowing farmers to use their existing equipment. And of course, the crops must generate a profit for the farmer. We are working on analytical approaches that consider these tradeoffs."
Graham adds that the data CBES provides on sustainability can be of use to BESC at several stages in the feedstock development process. "Some of the studies we conduct on land use and logistics provide BESC with a framework of desirable characteristics for crops that have high potential for cultivation in a particular area," she says. "Conversely, once the plants are created, we can test them in the field and provide feedback on their potential implications for economic, environmental and social factors."
CBES has an international perspective on developing flexible approaches to cultivation of bioenergy crops. Experience has shown that crops and management practices do not migrate smoothly to every location, requiring different strategies for various regions. The optimum biofeedstock depends on a range of unique factors, including local needs for food crops, soil quality, and the crops local farmers are accustomed to growing.
"International groups are currently in the process of developing standards for feedstocks," Dale says. "We are part of their teams, which is important because conditions for farmers in the U.S. differ greatly from those of farmers in Africa and South America. Considering the full range of approaches is critical to the fieldwork and the modeling of feedstock production."
Both Dale and Graham agree that concerns about the sustainability of feedstocks are intensified by America's goal of replacing a large fraction of oil imports with biofuels. Perhaps fortunately, these concerns are not unique to the United States. The international community has an increasing need for data on the sustainability of biofeedstock production, as well as on the production, use and sustainability of biofuels. Addressing this need will likely shape the next generation of environmental research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

What does "Milli Görüş" mean?
According to the Islamic doctrine we all descend from the first human being, the Prophet Adam, and his wife Hawwa (Eve). Time and again Allah sent prophets to mankind (Qur'an 43:7; 3:163-165), and one of those prophets was Abraham (peace be upon him). Abraham (pbuh) is regarded as the forefather of all monotheists (Jews, Christians, and Muslims). Thus, our community's name is a clear reference to Abraham. For the word "Milli" in IGMG (Islamic Community of Milli Görüş) traces back to the Qur'anic notion of "Millet" which often appears in association with the Prophet Abraham. The idea behind "Milli Görüş" is expressed in several verses of the Qur'an: "…the community/way of Abraham (milletu Ibrahim) …" (Qur'an 16:123; 3:95; 4:125)
As stated by the Qur'an the concept of "Millet" denotes a community that gathers around a prophet and the values he conveys. It does not refer to a nation or an ethnicity. What is essential are the values, ideals, and traditions that constitute a community. Thus the Qur'an speaks of "milletu Ibrahim", of the community of Abraham, in conjunction with all other prophets who came after Abraham and their congregations as well.
The second element of our community's name "Görüş" means "opinion", "view" or "perception".
By the name "Milli Görüş" the IGMG attests its affiliation to the views and perceptions of the Abrahamitic community. The IGMG is a religious community that follows the Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) path. Thus, pivotal for its activities are values such as justice, mercy, awe of the creator, and the equality of human beings before Him. It is the tradition of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and especially of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that deliver the guidance for IGMG's work.
For that reason no connection whatsoever should be made with the Turkish meaning of the word "millet", i.e. "people" or "nation".

Joomla! Beginners
<translate> As someone who has not used Joomla! before, you need to know how to get started. Maybe you have a friend or a neighbour who uses Joomla! and you want a Joomla! web site of your very own. Maybe you have a small business or a club or a community that needs a web presence, and you want to use Joomla! for that purpose. Maybe you are a seasoned Information Technology professional, but you have never used Joomla! before. If so, you are just starting a very enjoyable journey and we warmly welcome you to Joomla! </translate>
What is Joomla?
Joomla! is a CMS(Content Management System) that lets you...
- ...make and update web pages easily.
As a simplified explanation, think of a Joomla! website dynamically bringing together three elements.
- Your content, which is stored in a database and called articles.
- Modules, additional pieces of special content which is also stored in a database.
- Your template, which controls the design and presentation(fonts, colors and layout) of your content and modules.
Joomla! is the software that brings together the content and modules using the template to produce webpages dynamically. No more HTML pages to store, update, link together and then upload to your server.
Absolute Beginners Guide to Joomla!
<translate> Although you could spend a lifetime learning Joomla!, if you master the basics you will be able to make a very attractive and useful basic website in a very short time with no special technical skills. </translate> <translate> Do you want to get started with Joomla!, but you have no idea where to begin? If so, you have come to the right place. </translate>
Installing Joomla!</translate>
{{:Portal:Beginners/Installing Joomla/<translate>en</translate>}}
{{:Portal:Beginners/Learn to use Joomla/<translate> en</translate>}}
<translate>===Getting Support===
- For support with installation, you can ask questions in the Joomla! installation forum.
- For support as you are learning Joomla! you can ask questions in the NewJoomla! forums. Use the New to Joomla! 2.5 Forum or the New to Joomla! 3.x Forum.
Understand How Joomla! Works
<translate> You might want to learn how Joomla! is built and how its features work together. </translate>
<translate> In short, Joomla! is composed of a Framework and extensions. There are several types of extensions, each capable of performing specific tasks. Some extensions are developed as part of the Joomla! project and come with your installation. If you want to add features to your site, you can install more extensions. </translate>
<translate> You can compare this to a computer operating system, like Microsoft Windows or Linux. You don't directly use the operating system (Joomla!); you use applications (extensions) to carry out tasks. Some applications (extensions) are immediately available on your system, but can install and remove additional applications (extensions) at any time. </translate>
<translate> The Joomla! Core Features Guide scribd, written by James Ramsay describes the features (mostly the extensions) available in each download of Joomla!.</translate>
What is Joomla!?
Joomla! is software that lets you...
You can think of a Joomla! website as bringing together three elements.
- Your content, which is mainly stored in a database.
- Your template, which controls the design and presentation of your content (such as fonts, colors and layout).
- Joomla! which is the software that bring the content and the template together to produce webpages.
Installing Joomla!
<translate> Before you can begin using Joomla! you will need a working installation of Joomla! If you want your site to be available on the Internet, make sure that you have an account on a web server. For most people this means signing up with a hosting company and purchasing a domain that will serve as your site's main address. </translate>
- Want to build a free Joomla! website? joomla.com is a newest Joomla! service that allows you to start, build and maintain a completely free website on a joomla.com subdomain for an unlimited time. The site building software features all of the Joomla! CMS core functionalities that make building a website easy and flexible.</translate>
- If you want to test Joomla! and you haven't purchased a domain yet, you can see and experiment with a working installation at demo.joomla.org. As an added bonus, the demo site provides links for creating and hosting a working Joomla! website with a 90 day trial. (Note that the Joomla! Project receives a royalty if you choose paid hosting from that site.)
- Already have a hosting company? Joomla! is offered by most hosting companies under "One Click Installs" (also called Auto Installers) for their customers. The "One Click Install" method offers an "instant" installation of Joomla! which is quick and easy. Follow the instructions your host provides.
- Use the conventional method of installation. This requires you to copy the Joomla! zip file to your hosting account, unzip, create a database, and then run the installation. Complete instructions can be found at Installing Joomla. Further information can be found at Joomla! Installation Resources.
- Install Joomla! on your own computer (without your site appearing on the Internet), you can install it using the XAMPP package. Install XAMPP and then use the "conventional method" to get your Joomla! test site working.
Learning to Use Joomla!
<translate> Once you have a working Joomla! site, you will want to start filling it with your own content and making it look just the way you want. Before doing that, it is a good idea to learn more about how to work with Joomla!. There are a number of very useful resources to help you with this. </translate>
- Learn Joomla! terminology by browsing the Glossary.
- Getting Started with Joomla! is a tutorial series with hands-on instructions to introduce Joomla! to people who have not previously used it. It explains techniques step by step using screenshots.
- One way is to learn by working with the sample data which can be installed when installing Joomla!
Start Creating Your Joomla! Site
<translate> Before you jump into making your own articles, categories, tags, web links, contacts, banners, and news feeds, you may want to review Planning Your Web site. There are many aspects of creating a web site to consider. For example, deciding if you want to enable Search Engine Friendly URLs and how enabling or disabling Search Engine Friendly URLs later will destroy the rankings your pages acquired with search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahoo. </translate>
<translate> Perhaps you already have a website. Then you should read "Converting an existing website to a Joomla! website" and learn more about converting your static website.</translate>
<translate> One of the first tasks you may want to do is to modify one of the templates that comes with Joomla! so that it displays your site name and logo.</translate>
- How to change the image (s) in your template </translate>
- How to modify a Joomla! template.</translate>
<translate> Finally, you may want to install one or more of the thousands of extensions to Joomla!. Most Joomla! extensions are listed in the official Joomla! Extensions Directory (JED). Once you've found an extension to install, you'll have to follow the procedure for installing a Joomla! Extension. </translate>
<translate> Please remember that all extensions are developed by independent developers. If you need help with a specific extension the best source will be that developer. </translate>
<translate>===Getting Help in the Joomla! Forums=== </translate> {{Portal:Beginners/Getting Help/<translate> en</translate>}}
<translate> Here are some quick links to specific Joomla! forums commonly used. General/New to Joomla! 3.x Questions, Joomla! 3.x Template Questions, Joomla! 3.x Extension Questions, General/New to Joomla! 2.5 Questions, Joomla! 2.5 Template Questions, and Joomla! 2.5 Extension Questions </translate>
Keep Your Joomla! Site Secure
<translate> Security is always a big concern on the web. Make sure you are using best security practices. The basic techniques on the Security Check List will get your site off to a good start in terms of security. Here is a list of more information you should read. </translate> {{:Security/Guide/<translate> en</translate>}}
Getting Help
<translate> The Joomla! forums are the among the busiest (and most friendly) support forums in the world, and they are a great place to get help and meet other Joomla! users.</translate>
- Before posting, check the FAQs--Frequently Asked Questions on the docs wiki.</translate>
- Please make certain you search the Forum post first before posting a question. Nine times out of ten someone else had the same issue that you had.</translate>
- Make sure you are posting in the right forum for your topic.</translate>
- Be clear and specific in your request for help. Entries like "Help! It doesn't work!" tend to get ignored. Try to explain everything that led up to your problem. Try to explain what your problem is. Be clear about what you want to happen. And, thank those who bother to help!</translate>
- Use the Forum Post Assistant to help you provide more information and better explain your problem.</translate>
- If your question/problem was solved, mark your thread as solved by editing the first post you made in that thread and changing the topic icon to the green check mark with a circle. You can also add [Solved] to your topic title. By doing this you allow other members who are doing searches to easily differentiate between solved and unsolved issues. This also saves the volunteers' time of having to open up solved topics.</translate>
- As soon as you know things, start answering questions. Answering questions is one of the best ways to learn.
- If someone helps you, say thank you and pay it forward by answering a question yourself.</translate>

The Research Vessel Cape Hatteras is docking Wednesday morning for the final time in its 31 year career at the Duke Marine Lab in Beaufort.
A short ceremony is planned to honor the crew, including Captain Dale Murphy, who has been with the vessel since its first mission three decades ago.
Officials say the boat is expected to dock at 9:15 a.m. Wednesday.
The boat ramp director at Duke University says the ship is getting older, and more modern ships are taking over.
The vessel is up for sale, with an asking price of $1,250,000.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife scientists loaded up the R/V Cape Hatteras with supplies for the next 10 days. While local scientist have relied on this ship for decades, some some of the crew members have been working on the Cape Hatteras since she first went off to sea and say they will really miss her.
Captain Dale Murphy has worked on the research vessel since her first mission.
"I like coming down here with the people. They're good people. Straight through. They're as good a crew as I've ever worked with," said Captain Murphy.
The boat ramp director at Duke University says the ship is getting older and more modern ships are taking over. While the ship's duty for Duke is nearly done, the vessel has been certified as a research vessel for 10 more years and it's up sale for $ 1.8 million.

The Reefer is a recurring boat introduced in Grand Theft Auto III. To date, the Reefer has appeared in the following games:
- Grand Theft Auto III
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
- Grand Theft Auto IV
- Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Based on a common shipping and fishing vessel, the Reefer is a slow yet durable fishing boat that can be obtained by a dock or on the water. Its name is a reference to the slang for marijuana plant. In addition to being slow, it can hold only one passenger despite its large size. It is also a very poor choice of vehicle in a police chase because it will be quickly destroyed by police boats and lacks the speed or maneuverability to evade them.
In GTA IV it has a plank on the front, which is exactly the same as the one found on the Orca in the movie Jaws. Also, unlike the previous renditions of the Reefer, the player can climb upon the roof of the cabin. The Reefer is not recommended for online play in GTA IV due to its slow speed which makes it an easy target for enemy machine guns or rocket launchers.

- Docked at a small pier near the Vice City Junkyard in Little Haiti, Vice City.
GTA IV + Episodes from Liberty City
- Docked by a ramp slightly north of the Hickey Bridge.
- Docked in the waters of Tudor, Alderney.
- The name Reefer is most likely (Because it is in GTA) a reference to the drug with the same name

The Power of Independent Thinking
Water Fight
Recorded: Friday, March 7, 2014
Senior Fellow Randy T. Simmons, co-editor of Aquanomics, looks at the battles over water in the western United States. Thirsty citizens of growing cities, farmers, factories and environmentalists are in a fight for a natural resource that is priced arbitrarily. Its value is determined not by the free market, but by bureaucrats. Outdated government reclamation projects and water policies have put residents of the Golden State at the mercy of the weather, and of government's mandatory regulations.

Why I ask is a post yesterday from our host noted that Pandora should be back soon. Maybe the servers went down again?
I have noticed several discussions on this forum about others having issues with apps not working on the Smart Hub. However, it seems as if they are all not working. I am having issues with Pandora and Netflix not working. It seems that all the others I have tried work okay. For both services I already have established accounts and can access them online using our Xbox, laptop or Ipod.
Before you think it, I already went through and entered the code online for linking the Pandora to the TV. When I select the Pandora app from the Smart Hub, the app loads and "starts" to a point where I can see my user name in the lower left hand corner. However, a pop up box comes on that says "The network connection has failed. Please check the network settings."
With netflix the warning says "Unable to connect to Netflix. Please try again or visit: www.netflix.com/tvhelp."
The same thing occurs when connecting wireless and with the LAN cable. Again, I am able to connect to the Youtube app and the browser apps just fine.
I checked the country settings and all are set to U.S.
Could this be an issue with my internet service provider? I have AT&T.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Renovations to Augusta's municipal building will cost the city millions. Many of you weighed in on our Facebook page, but the issue faced little opposition from commissioners in attendance at Monday's committee meeting.
Only one voted no, but seven voted yes.
"We are giving up our front line of defense. We are losing some of our best officers. We're going to lose a lot more," said Crimestoppers Executive Director Griff Griffin.
Griffin and his dog Watson are a crime-fighting duo.
"We don't work for the police. We don't get any tax money. We are a 501(c) nonprofit," Griffin said.
He's upset about city leaders using millions to renovate the municipal building. Griffin says that money should be used to give deputies a raise.
"I couldn't support it. I think we have to many other projects that I think should take priority over remodeling the municipal building," said Commissioner Bill Fennoy.
Fennoy was the only commissioner who voted against the upgrades. It passed with 7 to 1. "I don't have a problem with renovations but I think our priorities are in the wrong place," said Commissioner Fennoy.
"Have they saved anybody, no, have they protected a single business, no. Did they keep that poor girl from Paine College from being raped, no," Griffin said.
Augusta Crimestoppers tips have lead to hundreds of arrests. Now he's offering advice to city leaders to take care of those men and women in blue.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper told reporters today that he thinks pipelines are the safest way to transport crude oil, and that the Energy East pipeline proposed by TransCanada will be important for creating long-term energy security in North America. Yesterday TransCanada announced it will be moving ahead with a $12 billion pipeline project to bring Alberta tar sands oil east to refineries in Quebec and New Brunswick. As Susan Sharon reports, it remains unclear what bearing the massive pipeline could have in Maine.
TransCanada's map of its proposed pipeline route from Alberta to Saint John, New Brunswick.
Prime Minister Harper says he has no doubt that the pipeline will create jobs on both sides of the border. But first it has to undergo regulatory approval. The project involves converting an existing 1,800-mile-long pipeline from natural gas to oil, constructing more than 800 miles of new pipeline, and building a large deepwater port in partnership with Irving Oil in Saint John, New Brunswick.
It has the early approval of the energy minister and some provincial governments, but environmental groups are already vowing a fierce fight.
"Well, first of all with the pipeline, it's not if it will spill, it's a matter of when and where," says Andrea Harden-Donahue. Speaking on the CBC radio show "As It Happens," Harden-Donahue, of the Council of Canadians, says her group and others think the government should be transitioning away from fossil fuels.
And they have safety concerns about the proposed pipeline, which she says goes through urban and small communities and crosses important rivers and waterways. "When it comes to tar sands this is not just conventional oil," Harden-Donahue says. "When it spills it's particularly hard to clean up. It's particularly expensive."
Environmental groups in Maine have raised similar arguments against the Portland-Montreal Pipe Line Corporation's interest in bringing tar sands oil through its pipeline that crosses Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. The company has no firm plan to do so, but has said it must consider all its options in a competitive marketplace.
Pipelines are in hot demand as oil producers look for ways to ship oil from the western oil fields to world markets. "Canadians across the country should share in the benefits of developing our nation's resources. Building critical infrastructure ties our country together, making us stronger and more in control of our own destiny," said Russ Girling, TransCanada's president and CEO, at a news conference Thursday.
But exactly how TransCanada's Energy East pipeline, which is even larger than its proposed Keystone XL project, could affect the Maine-based Portland-Montreal Pipe Line Corporation and its plans remains unclear. The company released a written statement this week saying, "It is uncertain to us what the entire impact of this proposed project might be on crude movements and crude supplies for the East Coast. We are continuing to evaluate this recent development."
TransCanada hopes to have the Energy East project completed in five years. And that could also have implications for Maine's freight lines, says Chop Hardenbergh, editor of the Atlantic Northeast Rails and Ports newsletter.
"We're going to see oil continue to move through Maine for the next five years," Hardenbergh says. "But at the end of that the gusher is going to be turned off, and we're going to see no more crude through Maine by rail."
However, Hardenbergh also points out that the price of oil is volatile. It could change at anytime, making more costly transport by rail less desirable well within five years time.
Hardenbergh says there are other related, more significant worries, such as the survival of Maine's paper mills, which are among the customers of Maine's freight lines, and the survival of the Maine Montreal & Atlantic Railway, which has been sidelined by the recent disaster in Lac Megantic that killed nearly 50 people and has put rail safety, and the safe transport of crude oil, in the spotlight.


text: It isn't often a figure from African America history is still around once his or her accomplishments finally are celebrated. A spectacular exception, of course, is President Barack Obama. Not nearly as famous but nonetheless a hallmark is the triumph in 1960 of little six-year-old Ruby Bridges, documented as the first child of color to set foot in a segregated elementary school. She attended William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans and, in those days, it wasn't a simple matter of being enrolled and showing up for the first day of class in a pretty dress with your pencils all nicely sharpened as you get ready to learn your reading, writing and arithmetic. White hatred of Black people was even worse than it is today and savagely overt in the South, such that this innocent's mom and dad, Lucille and Abon Bridges were, by request of the NAACP, taking her life in their hands.
