Nice start. That bridge is indeed huge?
True to character, I am putting things on "paper" before I've done more than a couple of hours of research on feudal Japan, guaranteeing that I will have to go back and change something fundamental half-way into the project.
The first thing I did was create a 3300x5100 300dpi blank in PhotoShop, portrait. I then pasted the rough map on the base layer and resized so it just hit the edges. I played with it for a while, then looked at the image size critically. The only reason to have an image 11x17 is so that the published production is 8.5x11, so it stood to reason that the map would go in landscape.
I started again, changing the orientation (no pun intended). I again pasted the original image and then sized it so that the city itself took up the majority of the vertical expanse of the page and then extended the right bank to give plenty of space for legend.
Satisfied, I threw up a 50% gray layer and then bumped opacity down to 50% so I could see the original image below. I then cut out everything that was water. That brought me to my first challenge: the canals. Canals have two primary purposes other than short cuts and river re-direction. First, they allow water-borne cargo to be moved into the city easily. Second, they make irrigation practical much further away from the river. As there isn't a lot of agriculture going on inside the walls of the city and the rear of the city butts up against rising elevations, the canals I put in are almost exclusively for traffic. I followed the spirit, if not the letter of GP's concept drawing.
I then went in and added wharves and docks. At that point, I decided that my Oten'jo would have a great bridge, and that the lord would control passage up and down the river by means of a mighty chain that would be used to block any craft of significant size attempting to go through the hundred-twenty foot span at the center of the bridge.
This is the image with the original back-lit for your convenience.
And this is my WIP:

Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
The bridge looks large enough that you could have plenty of houses built on it. I don't know how appropiate that would be for a japanese-styled setting, but buildings-on-bridges certainly is a workable concept, as it has been done in Florence.
Can't think of any other reasons you'd want to have a bridge that wide. Having two carts be able to pass each other should be wide enough for most any ordinary bridge.
Good point Ghostman. Lots of Medieval cities had houses on bridges. They were preferred because they had good sanitation. In some cities there were floating mills under the bridges (the water flowing faster between the bridge pillars). Still, this was all in Europe. Not sure how it was in Japan.
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
Points well taken. The purpose of the grandeur of the bridge is to overawe and intimidate. The purpose of it's bulk is to make it impassable. However, 200' is more than would be required to make the bridge effectively indestructable. I will give it some thought.
There are examples of Japanese bridging with buildings on it. Though not for a full expanse across a river, though not impossible to imagine. I would think on the city of the river, that is possible, with a narrowing to true bridge site for the remainder. But I'm not the cartographer here, so it all works for me.

I like the toned down bridge. The wood cut effect is nice as well. This is going to be such a fun challenge. Especially if we get a good look into all the entries' processes. I love watching process, and yours is going to be fun to watch.
Something witty and pithy
Immolate, I posted some reference images of bridges in Japan (ukiyo-e prints) in the main Challenge thread - check it out for some ideas.

The effect on the water could be just a bit sharper I think. Otherwise the map base is looking good.

Padded helmet liners debated
WASHINGTON - A two-and-a- half hour hearing on the effectiveness of shock-absorbing liner pads in military helmets culminated in a showdown Thursday between a congressman who is pushing for their use and a top-ranking Marine Corps general who says not so fast.
"General, you can make my day," said Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., chairman of the House tactical air and land forces subcommittee. "Let's buy these inserts and make them available to the troops today."
Weldon said thousands of Marines now are using the insert pads paid for by loved ones worried about their safety. "We're with you - Democrats, Republicans. You've got the money. Buy them."
Maj. Gen. William Catto of the Marine Corps System Command told Weldon he would not "go ahead and authorize the use of those pads unilaterally until I have the data that says what the right decision is." Catto added that he would not ban Marines from wearing the pads, called Ballistic Liner Suspension Systems. "But the issue we've talked about here has been primarily comfort or a better protection against crash."
Catto says he'll have the data he needs on the scientific effectiveness of the pads by September.
The pads installed in helmets, some say, substantially reduce shock transmission to the head. An Army sergeant testified that they are also more comfortable and more stable than standard-issue Kevlar helmets, which have been used since the 1980s.
In 2002, the Marine Corps issued a new helmet, the Light Weight Helmet, which it believes provides the best ballistic protection. But others, such as Bob Meaders - the grandfather of a Marine - say that helmet is not up to par when it comes to blast protection and that the pad inserts are still needed. The Iraq war is yielding a higher percentage of brain injuries due to bomb blasts than other conflicts, researchers say.
Meaders, a former Navy doctor, started an organization called Operation Helmet two years ago when his grandson, who's based in Camp Pendleton and is now in Iraq, told him about the pads. That simple request grew to a national organization, headed by the elder Meaders. He uses private donations to buy the pad inserts and send them to fighters who request them. So far, more than 8,700 troops are wearing the pads, at a price of about $100 per insert.
The organization's greatest contributor, with a donation totaling $300,000, is singer Cher, who sat behind Meaders at the hearing in what she said was a show of support. Photographers crowded around her in the hearing room, snapping away as she and Meaders hugged before the hearing began.
"The war's been going on for such a long time. I don't understand why the Marine Corps general said they're just doing the tests now," Cher said in a brief interview after the hearing.
In the end, Weldon issued an ultimatum to the military:
"We're either going to raise the money privately and I'm going to get behind Dr. Meaders and do it, and if we do that, it's going to embarrass the service and we shouldn't have to do that. Or we're going to force it to an appropriations process that this Congress has the ability to do."
Those were welcome words to Meaders.

Art & Art History Study Abroad
Imagine hiking the Greek Acropolis or staring up at Michelangelo's statue of David in Italy—these valuable experiences are just two reasons why so many art & art history majors choose to study abroad.
About Study Abroad
Students in the Department of Art & Art History (AAH) spend a lot of time in our state-of-the-art digital classrooms and seminar rooms studying famous works of art from all over the globe. And while many courses in the AAH program include trips to major museums or art centers such as New York City or Washington D.C., study abroad provides an unparalleled experience of cultural immersion. And, because so many of the major monuments and masterpieces of visual art exist in places such as Athens, Paris, and Rome, many AAH majors choose Europe as their top study abroad destination.

Yacht That Killed Three Raised From Oyster Bay
Nassau County police and FBI divers raised the yacht Wednesday that capsized after a Fourth of July outing, killing three children.
The 34-foot Silverton, called the Kandi Won, was lifted from about 60 feet of water in Oyster Bay, in hopes that a thorough inspection will offer clues into what caused the deadly incident.
Officials are trying to determine whether a mechanical malfunction, weather or overcrowding led the boat to capsize. There were 27 people aboard the boat when it toppled around 10 p.m., trapping inside the cabin the boat owner's daughter, Harlie Treanor, 11 years old, David Aureliano, 12, and Victoria Gaines, 8.
A family lawyer told the Wall Street Journal last week that the boat was not overloaded:
"I can tell you it had nothing to do with the vessel being overloaded because of the number of people on board," said attorney James Mercante, who said he was hired by the boat's insurance company to represent owner Kevin Treanor in any possible civil suit.

Early Exit: A sqeaker: The first wave of exit-poll data reaching my desk comes from a variety of sources. In some states the sources disagree about the specific margin by which a candidate leads, but never about which candidate is out in front.

One of several rooms full of nostalgia at the Pacific Pinball Museum in Alameda, CA. (Photo: Mike Krumboltz)
The place now includes several rooms, each filled with tables from different eras. In the front are dozens of old-school machines. "I like to make the customers at least walk past the classic tables," said Schiess. On the walls are gigantic murals of pinball art painted by Dan Fontes, board member and volunteer.
Technically it's a museum, but unlike at the Louvre, you won't get arrested for playing with the art. For a flat fee ($15), visitors can shoot the silver ball until their flipper fingers fall off.
Yahoo! Games spoke with Schiess about the museum's history, as well as where he'd like to see the institution go in the years to come.

[Related: Pacific Pinball Museum Slideshow Gallery]
The museum began, he said, with what he calls a need to produce interactive kinetic art. "I realized, oh wait, that's what pinball is," he said. Schiess had grown up playing pinball. He says he got his first table when he was 13 (he traded an old electric sign for it and then fixed it up).
But he wasn't a pinball maniac.
"I've always been a tinkerer. I've always been fascinated by them [pinball tables], because I thought, 'Wow, how crazy is that that we invented this box that you put money into and its sole purpose is to entertain you?' I thought that would be my dream engineering job, designing things to amuse myself."
Museum executive director Mike Schiess shows off one of his educational tools. (Photo: Mike Krumboltz)
Some of Schiess's most valuable instructional tools are his homemade pinball machines. Schiess used clear plastic to house the table and display, giving students a sweet view into the world of electromechanical engineering.
But don't worry. If you want to come and just play, Schiess won't try to teach you anything. "We get around 34,000 visitors per year," he said. "All ages." During our visit, little kids were marveling over the old-school amusements alongside folks in their 60s and 70s, eyes unblinking, working on their high scores.
Running a museum, like running a business, requires an eye toward the future. "We're looking to take over the space next door," Schiess said about his plans for the museum. "The guy is moving out. We're going to use that space for more classrooms. I don't want to just fill it full of pinball machines ... I want to do restoration in the front, so people walking by can look in the window and watch."
Wonder what's inside a pinball machine? Schiess built a clear version of Surf Champ. (Photo: Mike Krumboltz)
Once upon a time, pinball tables were seen as a real vice. They brought in more money than the entire motion picture industry. Fiorello La Guardia, who served as mayor of New York City from 1934 to 1945, banned pinball machines and made quite a show of destroying them with baseball bats.
When asked about the museum's most impressive table, Schiess paused before saying, "It's a 1936 Bally Bumper. We have a big poster up front of Mayor La Guardia of New York pushing one over. This Bally Bumper was confiscated by the Oakland cops back in 1936. But instead of being destroyed, the machine was brought to Alameda and given to the cops as a gift. The history around that amazes me."
That might sound maniacal, but back in those days, pinball machines were less a game of skill than they were a game of luck. And where there are games of luck, gamblers aren't far behind. It was the invention of the flippers on the Humpty Dumpty table that helped convince government officials (eventually) that pinball wasn't just a casino game but a game of skill.
Yes, skill. And players do get better. "Study the table," Schiess said. "Don't get flipperitis and bang on the flippers. That doesn't do anything. Slow the ball down. Capture it when it gets near the flipper and cradle it. Practice that and practice passing it from one flipper to the other."
More machines at the Pinball Museum (Photo: Mike Krumboltz)
When you get the basics down, try the "drop catch." That's where the player keeps the flipper up. As soon as the ball touches, the player drops the flipper. "You get backward spin on it and the ball stops right on your flipper. If anybody's watching they'll think it's magic."
Although pinball isn't the national obsession it once was, new tables are still being made. And companies are still innovating with LCD back panels and tabletops that shoot electronic flames that follow the old-school silver ball.
But despite the electronics and special effects of today's tables, pinball is still, basically, the same game: "It's simple, really. The player against gravity," Schiess said.

In the Region / New Jersey; Plans Filed to Double Harmon Cove Outlet Space
By RACHELLE GARBARINE
Published: December 13, 1998
FROM a single store carved from a boxy warehouse 20 years ago the outlet district in the Harmon Cove area of the Secaucus Meadowlands grew through 1990 to 120 shops with a total of 650,000 square feet.
Since then increasing competition from other retail centers has taken a toll on the district, considered the grandfather of the outlet concept in New Jersey. It is a patchwork of small outlet malls and a string of warehouse stores scattered over the 700 acres that make up the 14 million square foot Harmon Cove industrial, commercial and residential area.
Now applications have been filed for two additional malls that, if realized, together would more than double the existing outlet-mall space. One is a 300,000-square-foot complex designed in a village-like setting, which its developers hope will inject new life into the entire district. The mall, which would be called Prime Outlets at Secaucus, would contain some 70 stores with an average of 3,000 square feet each lining two or three landscaped shopping streets. There would also be a children's play area, a food court and parking for 1,500 cars.
The project would rise on 35 acres along Secaucus Road, not far from Meadowlands Parkway, the main entrance off Route 3 to Harmon Cove. It would be the first center built from the ground up in the outlet district.
The developer is a joint venture between Prime Retail, a real estate investment trust based in Baltimore that is the largest owner and manager of outlet centers in the nation, according to Retail Value News, a trade journal in Clearwater, Fla., and Hartz Mountain Industries of Secaucus. Hartz, which developed Harmon Cove over the last 29 years, owns two existing outlet centers in the district that together total some 50 stores with 231,021 square feet of space.
The partners will finance the project, expected to cost $40 million, with 75 percent of their own equity and the rest in bank financing.
At the same time, another developer plans to convert an existing 433,000-square-foot warehouse, across Secaucus Road into an enclosed outlet center. The developer is Mikasa, the dinnerware giant that owns the warehouse.
Both projects still need to secure approvals from the Hackensack Meadowlands Development Commission, the autonomous state agency that regulates development in the 32-square-mile Meadowlands region.
The projects are proceeding at a time when the statewide retail vacancy rate is under 3 percent, according to TKO Real Estate Advisory Group, a retail consulting firm in Mercerville.
Ted Kraus, who heads TKO, said outlets increasingly are confronted by discounts dangled in front of consumers by department stores as well as off-price retailers like Marshall's and T. J. Maxx and discounters like Wal-Mart and Target. While consumer confidence ''seems to be growing again and people are spending, they are doing so much more carefully and they want value for their dollars,'' he said.
Though the price gap among various types of stores is shrinking, a recent survey by Consumer Reports concluded that ''outlets almost always provide the better deal.'' Overall, the survey showed that prices at outlets were anywhere from 5 to 50 percent below their mainstream competitors and that the average discount was about 25 percent.
Despite the competition, factory outlets continue to grow. Nationwide there are some 13,000 outlet stores today, up from 11,603 in 1995, according to Retail Value News. The journal now counts 303 outlet centers.
In addition to the existing outlet district in Secaucus, other factory outlet centers in New Jersey include those in Flemington and Jackson. There are also value-oriented centers, which include outlet stores as well as large discount retailers, like the 1.3 million-square-foot center under development in Elizabeth by the Glimcher Realty Trust of Columbus, Ohio. Another, with more than 2 million square feet, is being proposed in the Meadowlands region in Carlstadt by the Mills Corporation of Arlington, Va.
But the Mills project is embroiled in a debate over whether to bend Federal wetlands policy to allow new development. The mall would require filling about 200 acres of the already shrinking marshes in the Meadowlands -- or about one-third of the 600 acres needed for the project, which also includes an office center and hotel.
THE Meadowlands commission is reviewing the Mills project, but all approvals are subject to the developer receiving a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers to fill the wetlands, said Andrew R. Davis, director land-use management and legal affairs at the commission.
The two outlet projects in Secaucus do not require such a permit. But they do need a ''special exception'' from the commission, which Mr. Davis said would allow pure retail uses to go up on the sites, which are now zoned for light industry with a 10 percent retail component.
Many retail brokers said the Secaucus outlet district could support more stores. The key reasons are location and demographics, said Jonathan Schultz, president of the Schultz Organization, a commercial brokerage firm in Woodbridge. He noted that Secaucus was in a densely populated area and about five miles from the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel, offering access to Manhattan.

The Bachelorette
Reality Steve: Erica Rose Will Return for Bachelor Pad 3
Are you getting pumped for the most exciting season of Bachelor Pad yet? Spoiler guru Reality Steve has already amassed a list of participants that are rumored to be joining the cast of BP3, and the news just broke that Erica Rose is back and better than ever!
"SPOILER: You can throw another name on the Bachelor Pad cast," Steve tweeted on June 12, "Erica Rose is back for another season."
You might remember Erica from her tenure on Bachelor: Rome and Bachelor Pad 2, and we couldn't be more excited that she's coming back to Bachelor Nation for thirds! It was reported back in May that Erica was dating David Golshan of Shahs of Sunset and The Millionaire Matchmaker, so fingers crossed that a Bravo crossover is in the works. Seriously, that would be Chris Harrison's ultimate fantasy.
So far, Erica is the only alum from Season 9, so get ready for her to represent!

Eggs on a glass cat.....
I have 8 glass cats one out of them has some sort of eggs on it's nose and the one fish is also swimming in circles of stationary like the others. What sort of parasite would lay eggs on it's host?:-?
Glass cat laid to rest :(
I decided to put the glass cat with eggs on it's nose out of his misery. He was swimming around in circles and wasn't eating. I was afraid of the eggs also. I used the ice cold water method of putting it out of it's misery. That method is suppose to be 100% humane. I was OK with the outcome, but it looked like the fish had siezured (SP?) before it quickly went to "sleep". Just saying. :(:-(

Phillies (21-24) at Marlins (13-32)
7:10 p.m. – CSN
When you're getting 1.6 runs of support per game, you won't be winning too many starts unless you're close to perfect. Cole Hamels is experiencing that right now, as the Phillies have scored a grand total of 13 runs with him on the mound over his last eight starts.
On Monday, that led to another strange loss to the Miami Marlins, who are now 4-4 against the Phillies and 9-28 against all other teams. If you can't beat a team full of guys that wouldn't be in the majors if they were a part of any other organization, you don't have any business thinking about contending. Yes, baseball is different from other sports in that randomness plays a much larger role, but still … the Marlins have a .500 winning percentage against the Phils and a .243 winning percentage against everyone else.
Sunday's exuberance led right into Monday's frustration, which has been a common theme for this 2013 team – one step forward, two steps back.
Tonight, they face Jose Fernandez, who has absolutely baffled the Phillies but been hittable against every other team he's faced.
Third time's the charm?
Fernandez against the Phillies: 0.00 ERA in 13 innings, .071 opponents' batting average.
Fernandez against all other teams: 4.91 ERA, .261 opponents' batting average.
The Phillies are 3 for 42 off Fernandez in two starts. He has tremendous talent and upside, but he isn't "there" yet.
Fernandez is a strike-thrower with a mid-90s fastball, a sharp, biting curve in the mid-high 80s and a changeup that he's used more against the Phillies than against most other teams.
Charlie Manuel commented after Fernandez shut the Phillies down a few weeks ago at Citizens Bank Park that he was better then than he was the first time they faced him in Miami. But at some point, something has to give, right?
The only Phillie who has seen Fernandez well is Freddy Galvis, who is 2 for 4 with a walk and two hard-hit outs against him. Galvis has 67 percent of the Phillies' hits off the 20-year-old right-hander. However, Galvis will not start in Tuesday's game with Ryan Howard back in the lineup.
Cloyd's second start
Tyler Cloyd is back up with the Phillies to make his second start of the season. He was very impressive two weekends ago in Arizona, holding the Diamondbacks to two runs over 6 1/3 innings. Cloyd allowed just five men to reach base and really buckled down with runners on base.
Cloyd should feel right at home in Miami tonight because the team he's facing is essentially a minor-league squad that also has Greg Dobbs and Placido Polanco.
Middle relief woes continue
Last night's debacle put the Phillies into 27th place in the majors in bullpen ERA, at 4.63. That is a telling stat, considering Jonathan Papelbon hasn't even been scored on since his first appearance.
The Phils' 'pen has had the highest WHIP in the National League for much of the season and has struggled to strand inherited runners.
Chad Durbin, Jeremy Horst and Raul Valdes (who was optioned to Triple A last week) have allowed 39 earned runs in 51 innings. Phillipe Aumont has allowed 30 baserunners in 13 innings for a 2.08 WHIP.
The leash on these guys can't possibly be much longer, since none of them have produced consistently for even as long as a week. It says something about the confidence the Phils have in their middle relief corps when Justin De Fratus comes up from Triple A and is instantly thrust into late-inning duty.

Isn't Q the root cause of the anamoly, not Picard?
Forum page
this wiki
I realize that the Q Continuum wanted to test humanity (again) in "All Good Things..." and that Q's developing warmth toward Picard led him to "help" by allowing Picard to time travel...BUT...letting him time travel isn't just helping him, it allows him to cause the anomaly in the first place!

"Hard work!" exclaimed NYCHA Youth Chorus Director Larry Matthew. "Pays off!" responded the Youth Chorus members.
This moment, captured at a rehearsal of the NYCHA Youth Chorus and repeated a couple more times, exemplifies the dedication the members of the chorus have for their craft. "For me, this is it," said Ebony Johnson, of Manhattan's King Towers, who at 19-years-old has sung her share of solos for the Chorus. "The commitment is big but it's not a problem for me. It's not a burden if you love it."
Over the years, those outside the walls of the chorus practice room have noticed and rewarded this commitment. Most recently, the Afia Foundation awarded the Chorus a $10,000 grant to assist them in establishing a piano lab at Taft Houses. The grant was secured through the work of NYCHA's Office of Public-Private Partnerships.
The Piano Lab will allow members of the Youth Chorus to learn the basics of music notation, rhythm, melody, harmony, ear training, dictation and sight reading skills. Using computer software, piano books and other materials, they will receive instruction on the basics of piano playing.
In July, the Chorus performed at an event for the nonprofit Sing for Hope in Lincoln Center. The organization's summertime public art project, "Play Me, I'm Yours," featured 60 pianos in public spaces throughout New York City for any member of the public to play. The Chorus received one of these pianos as a donation, which they now use in their rehearsal space.
Established in 1997, the NYCHA Youth Chorus provides residents, ages nine to 21 with intensive vocal training and lessons in music history and choreography. In addition to teaching music fundamentals, the Chorus also fosters self-esteem among its young musicians. The blend of personal and professional grooming has turned the chorus into well-regarded representatives for both NYCHA and the surrounding community. And while they practice inside a modest room at Taft Houses, the Youth Chorus has performed at venues such as City Hall and Disney World. The Chorus performs throughout the year all over the City. The Chorus masters musical selections spanning from classical to Latin to pop.
"Sometimes people don't expect much to come from us," says Matthew. "When we show what we've got, it blows them away and it feels good whenever we are recognized for the hard work that gets put in."
Later, Matthew directed the group to give a small sample of their talents by singing "Tonight You Belong to Me," a popular song in the 1950's whose quirky adaptation by Steve Martin in "The Jerk" makes it a NYCHA Youth Chorus favorite. As the chorus sang, it became clear that the selection exemplifies exactly what the chorus represents; a whimsical and lively energy matched only by a judicious attention to detail. As the impromptu quartet belts out the final lyrics, Chorus Coordinator Carmen Roman cannot help but flash a prideful smile. Matthew dutifully nods at the finale, signaling his satisfaction with the presentation and his belief that it will be even better next time.
Anyone interested in auditioning for the Chorus can call 212-427-6648 or 212-427-8603.

Lana Del Rey
From internet phenomenon to real world sensation
Thu 1 Dec 2011
The sultry New Yorker became an internet star after her homemade music video for Video Games notched up millions of hits on Youtube. The hype machine quickly went into overdrive as Lana Del Rey's EPs reached the Top 5 of the US iTunes Albums Chart only hours after their release.
The inevitable backlash kicked in after a dodgy SNL performance that had fans and critics questioning their allegiance to the chanteuse. Questions were also raised over how genuine Lana's persona was (and her lips), seeing as she was previously an artist under the name Lizzie Grant.
Her album Born to Die received largely favourable reviews, however. The Observer summed the tone of the album by saying that "Lana Del Rey's partying is fuelled by a knowing sadness, and sung in that laconic, hypnotic voice, which ultimately saves this thoroughly dissolute, feminist nightmare of a record for the romantics among us."
Del Rey has revealed that she recently bought back the rights to her flop 2010 album and will re-release it in this summer.

Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) Online Program
The Master of Science in Nursing program at the University of North Alabama is a post-baccalaureate degree program consisting of two tracks: Nursing in Teaching-Learning Environments and Nursing Leadership in Organizational Environments. The program is completely online.
The Teaching-Learning track will equip registered nurses with tools that will enable them to facilitate the education of nursing students, health care clients, and health care colleagues. The graduate will be qualified to serve as a faculty member in an institution of higher learning and serve as an educator in the clinical environment. The program will allow students to select a clinical area of interest (adult health, women's health, pediatrics, etc.) upon which to focus during his/her matriculation.
The Leadership track will prepare registered nurses who will function at an advanced level in the health care environment regarding politics and legislation, budgeting and economics, and leadership and management, such that these nurses may positively impact the management aspects of nursing and health care in society.
There are two clinical courses for each option. Clinical experiences with approved preceptors may take place in the student's geographical location. Students must hold a current unencumbered license to practice nursing in the state in which the clinical experiences occur.
The Teaching-Learning option seeks applicants who wish to assume teaching positions in both collegiate and non-collegiate academic settings, as well as in clinical settings (hospitals, home health, clinics, hospices, etc.). Students will receive education with a theoretical basis in teaching methodologies, learning assessment, evaluation of learning, and other components of effective education. Additionally, students will learn to develop curricula and create other teaching projects. Clinical practice will take place in both academic and health care settings with approved preceptors in the student's geographical area. Clinical courses will focus on a particular area of nursing (adult health, pediatrics, psychiatric, etc.) chosen by the student.
The Leadership option seeks applicants who are currently in management, administrative, or executive positions in health care or those who wish to seek such positions. Students will learn sound, theoretically based economic and management principles that will allow them to function efficiently in the business aspects of the health care system and make informed, evidence-based decisions. Clinical practice will take place in health care settings with an approved preceptor in the student's geographical area.
Admission to the MSN program occurs each fall semester. A small number of applicants are accepted for the spring and summer semesters.
Unconditional Admission
- Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from a professionally accredited institution in the U.S.
- Unencumbered license to practice nursing in the United States

Travel time
Last Updated: 20th May 2014

More Tour and Travel Advice for: Australia, USA & Canada, Australia and New Zealand

No matter where you travel in the world, be it from your home to the local store or on a flight from one side of the world to the other, travel time is a necessary part of any journey.

Travelling with Contiki is still takes time, but is a lot more fun than travelling by yourself. On travel days your Tour Manager (and often you travel companions) will keep you entertained. There is always music, DVD's (not available on European Tours, interesting commentary and the occasional game. This will definitely help an 6 hour travel day pass quicker than if you were traveling by yourself.

We try to spend as little time on the coach as possible so that you have more time to get out and explore the places you visit. Europe for example looks like a small place on a map, especially when compared to countries like the USA, Canada and Australia. Looks can be deceiving though. The distance from Rome to Venice for example is a little over 500 kilometers (over 310 miles)and both those cities are in the same country.

It is important to understand that while Contiki Drivers and Tour Managers will do their utmost to ensure that you get the most out of every day, they are bound by driving laws, regulations and the responsibility to make decisions that benefit the group rather than each individual.

Road closures, poor weather and traffic jams are but a few of the myriad of factors that effect travel time on the bus between destinations. It is also not possible to move the cities any closer together, if it is 500 kilometers (310 miles) to a destination there is nothing that can change it.

Travel times between the cities will vary, some days are short and some days are significantly longer depending on the factors mentioned above. If you want to travel anywhere you have to get from A to B somehow. Contiki Tours mostly use our buses as well s occasionally trains, ferries and planes to get from A to B.

During bus journeys, stops are usually made every 2 and a half to 3 hours for food, breaks and sightseeing along the way. Driving time on each journey is dependent on the distances between the cities so while it may only take and hour and a half to get form Munich to Hopfgarten or three hours from Florence to Rome the distance is greater between other cities.

Media Stocks: CBS Beats Profit Forecast on Super Bowl, Music Events
TheStreet) - CBS Corp. (CBS - Get Report) , the highest rated U.S. broadcaster, posted first-quarter profits that beat estimates as the Super Bowl, the Grammys and the NCAA basketball tournament pushed revenue over $4 billion for the first time since the company split from Viacom (VIAB) in 2006. CBS, which rose 1.4% on Wednesday to $46.40, has gained 38% over the past 12 months and trades at 18.7 times earnings, its most expensive since June. The New York-based network is aiming to grow advertising sales on its digital platforms as the company adds more content to online channels.CBS posted first quarter profit from continuing operations of 73 cents per share, beating the average forecast of 68 cents, according to a Bloomberg survey of 27 analysts. Revenue for the quarter totaled $4.04 billion, edging an average estimate of $4.02 billion of 24 analysts. Elsewhere among media companies, Time Warner Inc. (TWX - Get Report), owner of the HBO and TBS networks, fell after reporting first-quarter sales that missed analyst expectations as declines at the New York-based media company's film and TV entertainment units, and its publishing segment, offset growth at its networks. Sales totaled $6.9 billion, short of a $7.1 billion average forecast of 25 analysts in a Bloomberg survey. Net income on an adjusted basis for the first three months of the year grew to $720 million, or 75 cents a share, from $583 million, or 59 cents, for the same period a year ago, the company said. Analysts had expected earnings of 74 cents a share. Time Warner shares dropped 0.5% to $59.48. Viacom (VIAB), owner of Nickelodeon, MTV and Paramount Pictures jumped 3% to close at $65.90 as advertising at its cable-TV unit rose 2%. Viacom eased investor concern about ad revenue at its networks, particularly Nickelodeon, after ad revenue fell 6% in the previous quarter. Written by Leon Lazaroff in New YorkNEW YORK (

I see no one even bothered to start a thread last night. Has everyone already given up on this season? Well not me!
I am astounded at the level of the talent this year top to bottom. And I am pleasantly shocked & surprised at how many of these kids are auditioning with original material & how good most of it is. This has the earmarks of being a down in the mud dog fight from beginning to end.
I thought there were some missteps last night. JLo argued for on e girl that played guitar & sang, she had on polka dots & I thought she was really good, but Harry & Keith passed. I would have leaned to JLo's side of that argument. And then they put through the rappers daughter which had to have been out of respect to her Dad, because she wasn't all that. And, then there was Tequila. They put through this screaming mess of a "singer" for some reason, perhaps they were all drinking her name sake.
Anyway, as I said, I think this has possibility of being a great season with more than a few possible winners.
Perhaps others will come back to these threads next week after the auditions end & Hollywood week begins?

Humble Beginnings
The original idea for MyVideo was a local-only video sharing website, a way of organising, aggregating and presenting South African video content. From its beginnings in 2007 the videos we featured were South African in nature, or created by South Africans, and thus appealed to a South African audience. Our goal to create a thriving community and a destination to find and watch local only videos was made even harder by the rise of Google's YouTube as well as other popular video sharing destinations.
The initiatives we did launch yielded many success stories, ranging from excellent user submissions covering eye witness news to the use and promotion of 'branded' channels by brands such Nokia, Sports Illustrated and FHM. Over time, however, user uploads diminished and the increasing business demands of hosting and delivering user generated video required a fundamental shift in direction.
As a result of these pressures and our desire to produce a quality online publication, hosting and delivering user-generated video uploads would no longer be viable. The MyVideo brand needed a new life, a new opportunity and a new direction.
Server Downtime
During this transitional period, we experienced a severe hardware failure with our hosting provider resulting in a number of issues with our archived video files. As a result, we had to restrict user uploads and functionality on our site and make some strong decisions as to the future of our service.
The future
MyVideo has relaunched as an online video magazine, showcasing curated and aggregated local and international videos hosted around the web. This new focus enables us to build a quality destination to browse a selection of entertaining videos that are topical, humorous, newsworthy whilst also providing a snapshot of popular videos being viewed and shared amongst social networks.
We will continue to keep our local relevance by sourcing and featuring videos that are topical to a South African audience, however we won't be restricted to a South African only focus. A constant work in progress, MyVideo aims to keep on growing, improving, archiving and becoming an integral part of your online video viewing experience.
Available on desktop, tablet and mobile devices and hosted locally in a world class data center means MyVideo's overall experience is faster, better, easier, and more enjoyable for everyone. With a new team and a new focus, we're excited about the future and can't wait to introduce new features in the coming months.

I really like this circle-cutter. After reading the reviews on here, I was a little worried that it might be challenging to use, but I had no problem at all! It's fun to cut with and when you follow the directions others have shared here, it's a breeze!
I can say for sure that this is a MONEY-SAVING tool and well-worth the price (used my 40% off coupon at Joann's). For the price of 1 or 2 circle hand punches, you can make any size circle, rings, and frames. I'm very satisfied with this cutter!
I love this circle cutter. I've own quite a few, but stopped after buying this one. 1 to 8 inches and everything inbetween. It is easy.
Hold down the orange stopper on top. It holds the paper. Putting you hand on the round base (not the extended piece) grasp on both sides of the cutter. BTW: pressing down on the "stopper" will not help it to cut better. Use an easy hand t and will cut perfectly for you everytime.
It is protable and a must have for everyone.
I really like it!, but wasn't thinking when I bought it that I would need a mat for it. I used my chopping board but it dulls the blades very quickly so.....guess I'm going to have to order a cutting mat. I took to heart what the other reviewers said, and I've had no problems. You just need to experiment with it on scrap paper until you get the hang of it. I have had no problems cutting my pictures out either. Would definitely recommend it.
I know that this product isn't eveyone's favorite, but if you master how to use it, it works great.
First, you have to push down fairly hard on the center spring to make sure that your paper or the cutter doesn't move.
Second, MAKE SURE that you are using the center circle to turn the cutter, NOT the ruler arm/blade! This is the biggest mistake that I have seen people make. This is what is going to cause an uneven cut.
I really like this product and I like the range of circle sizes that you can cut with just a loosening of a wheel. :)

Yellow Dog Linux updated to v6.1
I actually don't have Linux on my PS3 anymore, but next year I'd like to upgrade my hard drive again to a 300 GB or so and put Linux back on. While I had Linux (Ubuntu actually) I didn't use it much. But lately I wish I did have it just for general web browsing and chatting when the wife is using the other PC. Because the PS3 web browser still needs work. Sony just put Firefox on it and call it good.
I'm not sure if I'll go with Yellow Dog Linux or Ubuntu. Ubuntu offers more support than Yellow Dog Linux. But YDL is made specifically for the PS3. Anyway here are the primary updates to YDL, and it's now available for download.
"For end users, Yellow Dog Linux v6.1 offers an updated Firefox and OpenOffice.org, a vastly improved graphical wireless configuration tool, and the introduction of ps3vram functionality which enables use of PS3 video RAM for temporary storage or swap."
Yellow Dog Linux v6.0 is now out
For those out there using Yellow Dog there is a upgrade waiting for you. I've tried Yellow Dog and Ubuntu so far. Right now I'm sticking with Ubuntu, just because there is more support out there if I run into problems. I'm no Linux expert, I just use it on weekends sometimes. But it's a great option if you don't have a primary PC in the house.
Anyway some key features of YDL v6.0 are:
Yellow Dog Linux v6.0 supports:
– Sony PS3.
– Apple PowerPC G4, G5.
– IBM System p (JS2x, 510, 520, 540).
– 802.11b Airport auto-configuration; Extreme with configuration.
– Audio on all tested machines.
– Sony PS3 Sixaxis game controller.
– Cell phone internet connections with configuration.
Yellow Dog Linux v6.0 key features:
– E17 & Gnome installed by default, KDE included.
– Gnash, the Flash work-alike.
– Ekiga VoIP, Pidgin IM/IRC, and Fluendo codec installer.
– kernel v2.6.23, gcc v4.1.1, gblic v2.5, and Eclipse v3.2.2.
– The only Linux distribution to include by default Cell SDK v3.0.
– IBM iRT (interactive raytrace) demo available via YDL.net Enhanced.
Terra Soft Releases YDL v6.0 for Apple PowerPC, Sony PS3, IBM System P

General Pediatrics
The UC Davis division of General Pediatrics provides expert medical care for infants and children in the Newborn Nursery, the pediatric inpatient unit, the Pediatric Urgent Care Center, and the Primary Care and faculty practices.
Your medical home
UC Davis primary care clinics are structured as patient-centered medical homes. This system is designed to support your personal needs and allow your doctor to spend more time listening to you and your child. Learn more
Specialty clinics include:
- the Diagnostic Clinic, which provides second opinions for pediatric patients with difficult diagnostic dilemmas and growth problems
- lactation clinics, held several times per week to help mothers with lactation and breastfeeding issues
- the Youth and Young Adult Clinic, which provides confidential reproductive healthcare services to patients 13 and older
- the Adolescent Clinic, which provides clinical services to adolescents with chronic diseases
Our faculty consists of 23 pediatricians and one lactation specialist, the majority of whom are actively engaged in either basic or clinical pediatric medicine research.
Division of General Pediatrics Chief Kevin Patrick Coulter, who is well known in the field of child abuse and neglect as an advocate for children, conducts research focusing on sexual child abuse and children in foster care. He has consulted with the California Office of Criminal Justice Planning and the American Academy of Pediatrics, along with several San Francisco law enforcement agencies on training protocols for sexual abuse examinations and other issues related to child abuse.
The faculty's other key research interests include:
- pediatric obesity and weight management
- breastfeeding issues
- injury prevention
- culturally competent care
- general pediatrics in a managed care environment
- palliative care for the pediatric patient
- the role of the pediatrician in identifying and intervening with children at risk for poor school performance
Among the distinguished faculty members actively involved in both clinical care and research are:
- Ian Griffin, a pediatric nutrition expert who has co-authored papers on such topics as nutrient-enriched formula, nutrition of pre-term infants after hospital discharge, magnesium retention in 12- to 48-month-old children, and the finding that orange but not apple juice enhances the absorption of ferrous fumarate (an iron salt supplement) in small children.
- Doug Gross, whose clinical and research interests are centered on pediatric neurology, pediatric behavior and development, neuroendocrinology, reproductive endocrinology, and sexual differentiation of the brain.
- Stephanie Nguyen, whose research focuses on the role of hypertension in the development and progression of kidney disease in children with diabetes mellitus. She is building a study cohort evaluating how often hypertension is missed in children with diabetes, the prevalence of hypertension in children with diabetes, and the cardiovascular consequences of missed hypertension in children with diabetes. By concentrating on high-risk children, she hopes to identify the optimal management strategy for hypertension in children.
- Ulfat Shaikh, director of health-care quality integration at the UC Davis School of Health, whose recent projects have focused on pediatric nutrition, obesity, asthma, preventable readmission, and patient satisfaction.
UC Davis Children's Hospital is the Sacramento region's only nationally ranked, comprehensive hospital for children, serving infants, children, adolescents and young adults with primary, subspecialty and critical care.

Power Versus Liberty : Madison, Hamilton, Wilson, and Jefferson (Paperback)
Customer Reviews Write a Review
Be the first to review this item and earn 25 Rakuten Super Points™
Product Overview
Power versus Liberty reconstructs a four-way conversation -- sometimes respectful, sometimes shrill -- that touched on the most important issues facing the new nation: the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, federal authority versus states' rights, freedom of the press, the controversial Bank of the United States, the relation between nationalism and democracy, and the elusive meaning of "the consent of the governed".
Each of the men whose thought Read considers differed on these key questions. Jefferson believed that every increase in the power of government came at the expense of liberty: energetic governments, he insisted, are always oppressive. Madison believed that this view was too simple, that liberty can be threatened either by too much or too little governmental power. Hamilton and Wilson likewise rejected the Jeffersonian view of power and liberty but disagreed with Madison and with each other.
The question of how to reconcile energetic government with the liberty of citizens is as timely today as it was in the first decades of the Republic. It pervades our political discourse and colors our readings of events from the confrontation at Waco to the Oklahoma City bombing to congressional debate over how to spend the government surplus. While the rhetoric of both major political parties seems to posit a direct relationship between the size of our government and the scope of our politicalfreedoms, the debates of Madison, Hamilton, Wilson, and Jefferson confound such simple dichotomies. As Read concludes, the relation between power and liberty is inherently complex.

Brooklyn Decker Not In a Hurry to be Barefoot and PregnantEmma Brady
Swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker has dreams of settling down with her tennis star husband Andy Riddick, but don't expect to hear the pitter-patter of little feet anytime soon.
"I want to live a normal life drive my kids to school, have tons of animals running around, be barefoot and pregnant," Decker, 23, tells Women's Health magazine in its upcoming September issue. "I want all that … just not anytime soon."
For now, Decker is happy making the cover of the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and making her acting debut in the upcoming Adam Sandler / Jennifer Aniston film, Just Go with It, which hits theaters in February.
When she does decide to expand the family, don't expect Decker to keep her curves under cover after being named the "Best Summer Body" of 2010 by Women's Health, beating out celebrity moms Jessica Alba, Gwen Stefani, and Gisele Bundchen.

A third day of stormy skies this week rattled nerves Wednesday as three funnel clouds appeared over Weld County.
A small tornado is believed to have touched down briefly about 4:05 p.m., 7 miles northwest of Roggen in eastern Weld County, said National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Kalina.
No damage was reported from the winds, but the storm created anxious moments and dropped dime-size hail and rainfall that flooded already waterlogged fields and ditches.
"I was scared to death," said 29-year-old Alena Green, as she waded in the puddles left behind in the Kersey Mobile Home Park on Wednesday afternoon. "It was hailing, and then it started raining, and it was louder than the hail.
Today's forecast calls once again for a chance of isolated thunderstorms in the metro region, according to the National Weather Service.
The high temperature is expected to top out at about 70 degrees, with a slightly higher mark forecast for Friday. A 30 percent chance of afternoon thunderstorms remains in the forecast Friday.
"It's probably not going to be like it's been the last few days," Kalina said of the strong thunderstorms Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. "But this time of year, we could see something."
Rain is expected to decrease and temperatures increase through the weekend.
