Making A Successful Transition To Online Learning
Posted by WKU Online in Uncategorized on June 1, 2015
Earning your education online may seem scary at first, but interaction with your professor and classmates can carry just as much meaning, and provide even more freedom, than most face-to-face interaction.
Online demands the full attention of the entire class, which means that you're exposed to a more diverse range of conversation than often exists in a face-to-face environment. Self-motivation is key within such a demanding and competitive setting. The online environment forces you to work independently, increases personal accountability, challenges you to think through arguments in detail before putting them in writing and improves your written communication skills in greater ways than many other environments do. These same skills will have a positive impact on your performance in the work place, because so many of the same are required for success at work.
Teaching also takes new form in an online classroom. Academic institutions, the professors, and support staff must find new and enticing methods to reach out to students in order to optimize their online learning experience and maximize their future scholastic and career opportunities.
As an online student, you have virtually instant access to resources and choices that were not available in the past.
Still, if you're considering online learning (or just starting), it's not unusual to feel uncertain about this new environment. Here are a few suggestions to help you succeed:
Keep a Calendar
One of the best pieces of advice I received prior to starting my online program was from a woman in WKU Online. Her kind and well-intended words were simple, "keep a calendar of all upcoming assignments for the semester." I had no idea how important this was. Online courses are dependent on the student's ability to hold themselves accountable and stay on schedule. It can be tempting to push assignments to the back burner, but that leads to falling behind, which results in frustration and under performance.
Read the Syllabus
Professors craft their syllabi to deliver the information you need to be successful in their course. The syllabus will include information such as how to contact them, class objectives, the schedule, due dates of tests or assignments, books or readings, and grading data.
Check out Campus Resources
WKU offers a great variety of academic support for online learners, including research and writing assistance, career services, webinars and more! Make sure you visit the Student Resource Portal and become familiar with the support available.
Embrace your Anonymity
This is what I was referring to earlier when I said an online environment can provide "even more freedom." It allows greater participation than could ever be achieved in a face-to-face classroom, simply because of time constraints involved with F2F learning. Plus, online participation means speaking out, answering questions and providing feedback to others in a new way. Believe it or not, not being seen is empowering.
Ask Questions & Take Cues
Professors differ in how much they direct, interact, and engage the class in forums and discussions. Yet the questions they ask are pertinent to course progression and content. If you don't understand an assignment, ASK. Asking questions is one of the most important things you can do.
If you're brand new to online learning and unfamiliar with Blackboard, you may find it helpful to visit our Orientation for Online Learners at www.wku.edu/online/orientation. The Orientation provides guest access to Blackboard and resources to help you get started.
One Simple Step to Reducing College Debt
Posted by WKU Online in Uncategorized on January 13, 2015
Wouldn't it be awesome to graduate debt-free with a college degree!?!? For most of us, this is more fantasy than reality, especially with the rising costs of a college education. However, there are things you can do right now – as a current student or even before you're admitted – that can make a huge difference in your student loan debt over the course of your time in school. The obvious things include following a sound budget, working while you're in school and borrowing only the amount you need to pay your tuition and purchase books (even though most schools offer the maximum and require that you adjust the amount you're willing to accept). Those things work! They are tried and true, but there is also something else you can do – it's as simple as filing your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) early.
The ins and outs of the FAFSA
Every college student should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), including those who are still waiting on their letters of acceptance. The FAFSA requires you to answer questions about your income and assets (for dependent students it also requires information about your parents' income and assets). The answers you provide, along with IRS documentation, will help the federal government determine your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC indicates the amount of money that the government expects you and your parent(s) to be able to pay toward your college education for the upcoming academic year. If your estimated cost of attendance (COA) exceeds your EFC, you may qualify for need-based loans (which are subsidized while you're in school and have lower interests rates after you graduate) and/or grants to help pay your college bills.
Even if you feel that you do not qualify for need-based assistance or have enough to cover tuition, you should still file the FAFSA. The FAFSA is required in order for you to take a federal school loan of any kind, and it is also required for students who wish to work on campus.
"Filing early is especially important for those who hope to qualify for grants and/or student employment. Grants are awarded to qualifying students on a first-come, first-served basis. When the funds are depleted the level of need is not considered, which means an early application can mean the difference in qualifying for federal college grants such as Pell, FSEOG, and TEACH grant, as well as state grants, such as the KHEAA CAP grant," said Cindy Troutman, program manager for WKU Online.
You can file your FAFSA as early as January 1 of the year you intend to enter school. For those hoping to get started in Fall 2015 – your FAFSA awaits! You'll have to repeat the process each year as you pursue your education, but the first application you fill out is the most cumbersome. Below is a list of items you'll need to complete your application. The more organized you are when you start the process, the more smoothly it will go.
What You'll Need
- Social Security number
- Driver's license (if available)
- Your tax forms (don't worry if they aren't complete yet—you can use estimated numbers now and adjust them later if needed)
- Your parents' tax forms (again, using estimated figures is OK for now)
- Records of untaxed income, such as payments to tax-deferred savings plans, child support, veterans benefits, or workers' compensation
- Current bank statements
- Information about any businesses you or your family own, investment mortgage information, business and farm records, and other investment records
This sounds like a lot, yes! It's not as bad as it seems, because there is easily accessed help along the way. You can even access a practice worksheet at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The worksheet will allow you to do a practice run, so you can see the process before you officially get started. You can fill the FAFSA out as early as January 1, but anytime in January helps to ensure that you're among the first group considered for aid.
Steps to Getting Started
- Pull the required documents together, which are outlined above.
- File your FAFSA online at fafsa.ed.gov (the school code for WKU is 002002)
- Speed the processing of your FAFSA by signing the form electronically with a Personal Identification Number (PIN). Follow the steps outlined at fafsa.ed.gov to request a PIN or visit pin.ed.gov – the process is simple. Also, if you're a dependent student, one parent must register for a PIN as well, since the application will also require a parent's signature. in order to sign the FAFSA electronically.
What's Next
Once you file your FAFSA, you'll receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) that contains your EFC. If you provided a valid e-mail address at the time of your application, you'll receive your SAR by e-mail. You can also view it online. Your SAR and EFC will be sent to the schools you listed on your FAFSA. These schools will offer you financial aid packages based on the results of your application.

Tips for a Successful Spring Semester
Posted by WKU Online in Uncategorized on January 12, 2015
It's a new year! Let's get off to a great start this semester by using some tried and true strategies!
# 1- Set Goals and Stick to Them!- Every course is a new beginning.. so have a positive outlook! Carefully look over the syllabus and start breaking down lessons, assignments and projects into smaller, manageable tasks. Creating goals and staying motivated are important skills that anyone can benefit from having. WKU Online will be offering a free webinar regarding goal setting and achieving positive results on Monday, February 2nd. For information on how to register for this webinar, just email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
#2- Stay Motivated!- Setting goals and resolutions sound great at the beginning of a new year or in this case a new semester. However, the hard work is staying motivated and making progress! While online courses offer more flexibility, they also require more self discipline! Your course syllabus needs to be the guide you reference often. Make sure you are staying on top of due dates and deadlines!
#3-Put in the Time!- A general rule of thumb for an online course, is to put in three hours a week of studying for every credit hour. If you are attending full time with 12 credit hours, you will be putting in a full week of work, every week!
#4-Be Proactive!- As soon as you are having trouble in a course, contact the instructor, ASAP! The longer you wait to get clarification on unclear material, the further behind you may get.
#5- Be Your Own Resource!- If you are a non-traditional student take pride in your life experiences! Your work experience may also be relevant to some of your course work. If appropriate, share your experiences with classmates via discussion boards. Likewise, you can learn a great deal from your peers as well. The instructor isn't always the only person with valuable insight !
Hopefully, you will find these tips useful! However, please know that you are not alone on this journey! WKU Online is here to help! We have a Student Resource Portal full of helpful hints as well as a directory of our vast array of student services! Familiarize yourself with all the support you have at your fingertips, just a click away at :http://www.wku.edu/online/srp/ .
Best of luck on a great semester!

U.S. News ranks WKU online bachelor's programs 2nd in nation
Posted by WKU Online in Uncategorized on January 9, 2015
WKU's online bachelor's degree programs have been ranked second in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.
WKU finished in a three-way tie for Best Online Bachelor's Programs in the rankings released this week. Pennsylvania State University World College was first and WKU tied with Daytona State College and University of Chicago-Illinois.
WKU was also ranked 11th in Graduate Criminal Justice Programs, 35th in Graduate Education Programs, 70th in Graduate Nursing Programs and 84th in Master's of Business Administration Programs.
"This recognition is a validation of the hard work and dedication of our faculty in developing and teaching online programs at WKU," Beth Laves, Associate Vice President for Extended Learning & Outreach, said.
The Division of Extended Learning & Outreach (DELO) operates WKU's online offerings and supports faculty in the development of courses, training, tools and resources to enhance the learning experience and heighten student engagement.
"WKU Online program services staff also provide award-winning student services that play a significant role in making our program stand out," Dr. Laves said.
She said those services include access to an Online Presentation Coach, Online Writing Center, electronic resources from WKU Libraries, research assistance, a directory of Top Tools for Online Learners, Online Tutoring and Career Services and other services specifically designed for distance learners and free of charge."
Ten years ago, WKU had 1,262 undergraduate students enrolled in one or more web courses. By fall 2014, online enrollment had quadrupled with 4,949 WKU undergraduates taking at least one web course.
WKU makes 12 bachelor degree programs available online: Sociology, Child Studies, Family Studies, Organizational Leadership, Interdisciplinary Studies, Computer Information Technology, Dental Hygiene, Environmental Health Science, Business Administration, Registered Nursing to Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Systems Management and Technology Management. Students have the opportunity to earn a certificate or degree through more than 80 online program options at the undergraduate and graduate level.
"I am extremely proud of our faculty and our partnership with DELO, which allows us to produce such a great program," Dr. Douglas Smith, Department Head of Sociology, said.
Dr. Smith teaches in the online master's in criminology program and said that students in the program are typically adults working in the criminology field looking for a degree to advance their careers. The program began in 2008 and has had 21 graduates and currently has more than 50 students enrolled.
To determine its rankings, U.S. News analyzes data that reflects how an institution's online bachelor's programs are being delivered and their effectiveness at awarding affordable degrees in a reasonable amount of time.
"WKU achieved the number 2 ranking based on a high level of student engagement, faculty credentials and training, student services and technology and its peer reputation in distance learning," Dr. Laves said.

Midterms, Finals, Research Projects … Oh My!
Posted by WKU Online in Uncategorized on October 22, 2014
Tis the season for exams, research projects and comps! This can be stressful for all students–I know, for me, I can always think of one more thing (at least) that I could've/should've done to prepare better, be more thorough, etc. Having a plan, familiarizing yourself with available resources and being able to use the tools available most effectively is critical! This is especially true for those of us who must maximize every second available. This article is dedicated to those three things: planning, resources and effectively using tools.
Proper planning often means the difference between acing an exam/final project and getting a less than desirable grade to add to your transcript. There are some proven methods that you can easily use to help insure that you maximize your time, minimize stress, and achieve the grade you want.
- Save your sources! We have all been researching something and thought, "that's a great article, but not for this paper." Save it! It will in turn save you so much time later! You can do this by creating a digital library/database of your favorite articles through citeyoulike or iCyte. If decide to do this in a word doc that you can save to your desktop, you may enjoy looking at some examples at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/03/. Just remember, if you're doing it for personal use, you don't have to concern yourself with creating a perfect document. The idea is to create a reference tool for yourself that will save you time on future projects.
- Don't wait until the last minute! Work on your project(s) and/or study for your exam(s) in chunks. This may sound idealistic, but it's actually quite doable, even with all of life's other obligations. "Time-chunking" may mean that you set your alarm 30 minutes earlier than normal or use your 15 minute break at work to study or find peer reviewed journals for your project. While that doesn't sound all that appealing on the surface, the rewards reaped are great! You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish! In fact, this strategy is more effective for long-term retention of material!
- Take time to breathe, literally! Research has shown that cardio boosts brain power and improves your memory! It also minimizes stress and increases your energy, allowing you to achieve more with less time!
- The old adage goes, "you are what you eat" and this carries greater truth than we originally thought. Yes, eating before you sit down to finalize your paper or take your exam is important, but what you eat is also extremely important. You will want to focus on brain-boosting foods and drinks; not brain-blocking. Research suggests that high-carb, high-fiber, slow-digesting foods like oatmeal are best. Learn more about the impact of nutrition on performance at http://www.goodluckexams.com/what-to-eat-before-an-exam/ and http://her.oxfordjournals.org/content/26/6/1086.full.
- Practice good time management: It's no secret that when we procrastinate we feel a great deal of pressure and anxiety. Our performance is negatively impacted anytime we're pressed for time, whether it's studying for an exam or finalizing our research paper. Much of the pressure and anxiety that comes with procrastination can be easily avoided with proper planning, organization and realistic expectations. The one strategy that has helped me most as a student/wife/mom/full-time employee/cub scout leader is having all of my due dates available at a glance. Each semester I take a few extra minutes to print each syllabus and add due dates to my main calendar. This keeps me on track and helps me keep my school work on the "front burner."
Where To Get Help
- Technical Assistance can be found through WKU's IT Helpdesk. They are open 7 days a week and provide services online via chat and help request, as well as by phone. Visit www.wku.edu/it/helpdesk.

Respond to Review of Rainbow Vegetarian Cafe
by VegJo-Jo
Review: I went to Rainbow a few years ago when I was vegetarian, before turning vegan and it was great! My sister is also veggie but lactose intolerant. We were celebrating her birthday and certainly not disappointed with Rainbow! Looking back at their menu to jog my memory... We both had soup of the day (would be great on it's own for lunch) Mains - I had "Ethiopian Mesir-Wat (Lentil Bowl)" and sister had a Quorn thing from the daily specials. Deserts - I predictably had choc brownie and sis had vegan cheescake. Total cost including drinks approx £37 (for 3 courses, and drinks, we felt it was on a par with many other places) We both absolutely loved our meals and were truly stuffed after! We'd never normally eat this amount of food, but it was our first time in a vegetarian eatery and we wanted to make the most of the experience! Rainbow calls itself a cafe, but is definately restaurant quality food and service, hence restaurant prices (£9 for a main meal is pretty normal). As it was sisters birthday, and nearing the end of evening, they gave her the last small slice of cheesecake to take home! Definately going to visit again now I'm vegan and sample more of their fare!!

Now that I am actually able to sit down without either somewhere to be or passing out, it is about time I wrote up about BronyCon.
It was awesome.
Now, BronyCon is only my second MLP con ever, with my first being MLP-MSP, which was comparatively small (yet a lot of fun as well). Nonetheless, I still call it the best con ever.
SFM Panel
The panel was on Sunday @ 1:45pm in the Hall of the Moon. Even with the hall's large size, we filled the majority. On the panel was ata64, The4thaggie, Tohino, BeardedDoomGuy and myself. We started with a intro video showing some of the various works we have done. Afterwards, we talked a bit about what we do and how we do it. We left the majority of the time open for questions, which was good as there was a lot of them. Towards the end, the questions were cut (sadly) short so that we could show the Fallout video I have been working on nearly forever. Afterward, I got to talk to some of the fans 1-to-1, shake hands and sign autographs. It was amazing to get to meet fans up close and see the effect they have.
While BronyCon will be uploading the high quality later, BeardedDoomGuy's dad recorded the panel as well, so you can watch it now if you want! Even has the Fallout video in it, though it will be like watching the cam version of a movie in a theater.
Notable people I met
-ata64, The4thaggie, Tohino, and BeardedDoomGuy were all in attendance for the panel (talked about above) and was a blast getting to hang out with them.
-Completely randomly, I ran into the guys from Bench Thief (creators of First Flight [SFM]) which was amazing as that video was one of the most inspiring pieces of the year for me. Got to give them hugs and everything. One of the highlights of the con for me.
-PacificPenguin we met up with on Saturday and a bit on Sunday to hang out with. I love his work, so it was awesome to get to see them. ^^
-I had no idea, but TIShadster ended up being at our panel, though I don't think I got to talk to them personally (there was so much going on after the panel, my brain was scrambled).
-Met Here-for-the-ponies at their booth and checked out their amazing artwork (one of which I purchased below). Be sure to check them out!
-Checked out Uncommented's booth and all the amazing 3D prints he has.
-Met Acesential, which does art for the EBC radio play and for which I found inspiration from in making the preview image to be used in the final video. He was a really awesome guy to talk with and meet.
-I spent a lot of time hanging out with the guys from Anthology, spent some of the evenings with Caisius, Jurassic and TenderHearts.
-There were plenty of others I got to meet, but listing them all would take forever. Sorry if I missed you.
While I did get to meet a lot of big name people as well, it was meeting those that have supported me the most that I feel deserve the recognition here, so kept it to them. ^^
I picked up a few prints (the first was a gift from JHaller as he wanted the buy-2 deal lol).
And 2 plushies (the FlufflePuff was for my sister ^^)
Rainbow was made by Sen5. Fluffle was made by Cutie Corral. Both are adorable.
I could write all night about all the amazing times had, but no one wants a wall of text.
To summarize, it was an amazing time. While YouTube and DeviantArt may give you a number on how many people like and subscribe to your content, it is still just a number. The con showed me those behind the numbers. Those that have shown their support through kind words and compliments. Those that took there time away from a busy con to come and see us. It is what keeps me doing these videos with a smile on my face. The thanks should and always will go to all of you for the content I make. You make it possible.
This is an absolutely amazing community that I am beyond proud to be a part of.

Damn this looked awesome :3
Ah looks awesome Dear God how I wish I was here ;~; next year for sure I hope
Glad you had an awesome time! Thanks for sharing your experience for us who couldn't go. :3
It was super-awesome meeting you too, Argo! We totes need to talk more =3
It was great getting to meet you and the other SFM'rs there while I was sporting my EdPlus shirt. Glad I got to talk with you for a bit ^^
Agh you make me so jealous.
Well i do live like 150 miles away, i could stalk you
Well i do live like 150 miles away, i could stalk you
You were one of the people who inspired me to try SFM. But I can only do images, because absolutely suck at animating. After a month, I still suck. You can find all the videos in my journals, but just a warning. I don't understand why so many people actually like them.
Dunno why you beat yourself up over it. For what they are, they are well done. Funny and kinda Gmodish in the good way.
Well, I'm not very good at anything, like writing, animating, and I'm the worst at singing.
And GMod, I wish I knew how to make online purchases so I can buy that, because for me, there are not enough models ONLY for SFM.
And GMod, I wish I knew how to make online purchases so I can buy that, because for me, there are not enough models ONLY for SFM.
You can use all models that work in Gmod in SFM as well. At least they should work the same.
But when I tried to download a horse model once, it said I needed Gmod to do so.
Did you try using it in SFM? And was it only that model or also other ones?
you were awesome, i didn't recognize a whole lot of names when i was at Bronycon, but one i did know who was going was you, and you look just as cool in real life as your animations you make.
Indeed, I was there. Stuck around after the panel to speak with Adam and DoomGuy in person.
'twas still a pleasure attending~
'twas still a pleasure attending~
Looks like you enjoyed your time on BronyCon. Damn, I really need to get me on BronyCon one day.
Thanks for the mention Glad you like Dashie. Hope to see you next year.
Sleep well argo, and know that all those nights streaming and doing some weird stuff with homage, twilight, pinkiepie and so on has paid off.
Now onto bloopers video 2! Joking, sounds like you had a great time can't wait to see what your next project will be.

Help!!! My dad has MRSA. I'm 7 months pregnant and i feel bad, but i dont want him around me, for fear that i wil contract it as well. Also, would it be a horrible thing for me to tell my parents that my child cannot go to their house once he is born? I've heard horror stories about infants dying of MRSA, and I would be devastated if anything happened to my family.
please dont go near him it is highly contagious.

We all carry staph on our skins, and most of us carry MRSA on our bodies as well. The problem is when you have an active outbreak of MRSA. But with antibiotics and there is a special cream you are supposed to put up your nose because it colonizes well in your mucous membranes, it should clear up the active case. I work in a NICU and we have to culture our babies twice a week and any that have it have to go to isolation as to not infect the other babies. I myself have had an active case of it, probably from my hospital, and took antibiotics. DH had an active case a couple of months ago and couldnt be near the baby for 3 days while on his antibiotics, because our baby just had open heart surgery, but after that and the infection site healed up, its OK. Neither me or the baby got it.
You should just talk to your OB and your pediatrician about it. I dont think you have to go all out and never allow your baby around them. But I would stay away from him while you are pregnant until it clears up. And good hand washing techniques will keep you from getting it as well. But like I said, ask your Drs first, and dont go near him while he has an active case of it. If he gets rid of it, then they can just sterilize their house by washing allow surfaces and linens, etc.
Hope this helps some.

ITA with Julie. I also looked up the threads for the ob/gyn that is here - found three and in all of them he said that with antibiotics and practicing good handwashing with great tact mom and baby would be fine.
A friend of mine's odd got MRSA from the hospital she delivered her ydd, and they all got the cream to put in their nose. Cleared up. ETA: Her odd's ped told her (mom) for everyone to use it just in case; not everyone in the family had it, just the oldest child.
You can go to your parents' house as long as your dad's not having an outbreak, and he can touch you and the baby, but be sure handwashing is done and done well. Not going to their house period would be extreme.
Tanja - Mommy to Peanut (1.05), Bean (3.10) and Chicken Nugget due 09.26.12!
Having kids is a lot like being pecked to death by a chicken.
Last April my grandma and i went out of town for my Aunt's b-day party. It was a 4 hour drive there and about 2 hours into the drive my grandma started getting very very bad chills. So bad she coudln't control the shaking. Well we got to the motel and I got her settled and noticed a big red inflamed hard spot under her right arm. I asked her what it was and she tried hiding it from me because she didn't want me to worry about her because this was our weekend away together. Well needless to say, I saw it and she told me she thought it was cancer and did't want to tell me until we got home. (she always thinks the worse) Anyway, i knew it wasn't cancer, you could tell it was an infection. Well that night we just went to bed then the next morning we got up and she still wasn't feeling that great. She told me to go do what i was going to do and she would stay and rest for awhile. I went to the mall. Once I got back I could see how much worse she had gotten. Now she could barely walk and hadn't eaten so I forced her to go to the emergency room. When we got there her blood pressure was 54/24. No one expected to to make it the night. The doc on call thought she had cellulitis (sp) but they coudln't get her BP to rise so they rushed her to a different hospital. She was in ICU for about 5 days before they realized she wasn't getting any better. They seen she had an infection but had to clue so the next step was they had to do surgery and try and cut the infection out. After the 1st surgery, they did tests on what was cut out of her and it come back that it was MRSA. It just kept eating and eating away at her. They had to go in 3 times and keep cutting at her. At one time the doctor told me they could put a soccer ball in the hole under her arm and into her breast and back and not touch the ball. She had to have skin grafts and had what they call a wound vac on the wound for almost 3 months. She went into the hospital in April and didn't get out till the end of July. How she ever made it, no one knows. The docs in that hospital never expected her to. They said it was the worse case they ever dealt with. I stayed with her every day until she got out of ICU (she raised me so she to me is my mom) I missed a ton of work and the days I had to go back to work I traveled the 8 hours there and back every weekend until she came home. the whole time I was with her, I never had to steralize but I did have to steralize my hands all the time, Anyone else who came into the room (doc, nurse) they all had to gown up so they coudn't carry the infecction back to other patience. Even to this day they say if my grandma ever ends up in the hospital for anything, she will never be able to share a room with anyone. No one knows where she got MRSA from, she seldom left the house. It is a miracle she is with us today. Thankfully she can't remember any of it and the time she was away when i couldn't be with her, she became very close to some of the nurses at the hospital and they still all keep in touch. Anyway, sorry this is so long, I just wanted to share my experience with MRSA. It is nothing to mess with and all too many times they dont know what it is untill its too late. Even though my grandma went through what she did, she was lucky to have lived through it. By the way she was 74 so not that old.
You don't need to stay away from someone with MRSA, just wash your hands constantly.
I would def. talk to your dr about it.....and see what he suggests as far as being around your dad. MRSA is always there, so if youre worried about being around him while pregnant, what about the baby?
You can ask your dad to wear a mask around you and baby, when baby is born....and to wash and sanitize his hands before touching you or your baby....
I work in a nursing home as a CNA and there are a lot of people with MRSA in places like that, but if you use the proper precautions, you and your baby should be fine. I understand your concern though.....I'm sorry you have to deal with this sort of situation, this has to be hard, esp being someone your close to.

my daughter contracted MRSA when she was around 8 months old. no one else in the family EVER contracted it...and i couldnt stay away from her ! haha. i just washed my hands and carried around hand sanitizer...everywhere.
she was never hospitalized. she took antibiotics and it was gone in a week or so.

I work at a hospital and am 31 weeks pregnant, we have 2 other employees who are pregnant on my unit...many of our patients are on MRSA precautions and we all still go into their rooms. Just make sure you practice good hand washing hygiene. You would be surprised how many people are out and about in public with MRSA thats why its so very important to wash your hands often and thoroughly.

This is for anyone else wanting to look it up and know more about it - hopefully it will be useful to someone.
I am sure that he will understand that you cannot risk being exposed. Tell him you love him and you wish you could see him and hopefully he will understand.
I am sorry you have this going on in your family.
Lost baby #1 (Elisabeth) July 15, 2009 @ 22 weeks gestation. Completely heartbroken over our loss (as well as for anyone else who has suffered this).
i agree. dont go near him, dont let your baby near him and make sure anyone who come sinc ontact with baby washes their hands. you have to protect your baby. i used to work wth patients with MRSA and i would come home and completely quarentine myself till iwas showered, changed and my scrubs and shoes from the day were delt with. MRSA is dangerous, very very dangerous. your parents need to understand.
you dont need to completely avoid him, as long as he doesnt have an outbreak theres nothing to really worry about. im 31 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with mrsa, i sure hope people wouldnt keep me from seeing my child just because of this diagnoses..(havent had an outbreak in 2 years)

After the Assassination
How Gene McCarthy's response to Bobby Kennedy's murder crippled the Democrats.
Forty years ago, Robert F. Kennedy was murdered on the very night he defeated his fellow anti-war insurgent Eugene McCarthy in the California Democratic presidential primary. This week the news media are full of remembrances of RFK, rehearsing how his assassination, echoing his brother's five years earlier, dashed a generation's hopes for a new era of liberalism. But in a political season that resembles 1968, another aspect of the assassination is also worth considering, especially with the Democratic Party now seeking to unify its ranks. For in 1968, the persistence of intra-party divisions—which helped usher in the presidency of Richard M. Nixon—stemmed not just from the tragedy of Kennedy's murder but also from McCarthy's own subsequent failure of leadership. McCarthy's refusal to extend a hand to disoriented Kennedy supporters after June 6 left the party sundered, directionless, and ripe for defeat.
Eugene McCarthy never liked the Kennedys. At least since 1960, when he had placed Adlai Stevenson's name in nomination at the Democratic convention that chose JFK for president, the high-minded Minnesota senator had resented the hardball style and political success of the whole family. Understandably, he begrudged RFK's entry into the 1968 race. After all, back in November 1967, McCarthy had courageously challenged Lyndon B. Johnson, a sitting president, for the Democratic nomination, arguing that it was time to bring home the half-million Americans fighting in Vietnam. McCarthy's close second-place finish in the March 12 New Hampshire primary exposed Johnson's profound vulnerabilities. Only then did Kennedy—after some perfunctory soundings about a joint anti-war effort with McCarthy—throw his hat in the ring, quickly earning him treatment as a more plausible pretender to the nomination. McCarthy, who later claimed RFK had promised him he wouldn't run, was livid.
Two weeks later, LBJ forswore a second term. Anti-war Democrats rushed to align with one insurgent or the other. McCarthy won the intellectuals, the professionals, and the young, who, distancing themselves from their long-haired contemporaries, vowed to get "Clean for Gene." Kennedy attracted blue-collar, Hispanic, and black support. He complained that McCarthy got the "A" students, and he got the "B" students.
The primary battles were brutal, producing at least as much bad feeling as this year's. Against a backdrop of violent campus protests and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., McCarthy and Kennedy squared off in Indiana, Nebraska, Oregon, and California. (Not until 1972 did primaries become the dominant method of delegate selection.) Playing to his upscale base, McCarthy blasted Kennedy for having wiretapped King while attorney general. RFK, for his part, catered to the concerns of his new base—stressing, for example, his former credentials as "the chief law enforcement officer of the United States" in front of audiences worried about rising crime and urban riots. He also assailed McCarthy's previous opposition to a minimum-wage law and his allegedly weak civil rights record—enduring charges of being "ruthless" and dishonest in distorting his rival's record.
Even as McCarthy styled himself the clean politician, however, he dished it out, too. He mocked Kennedy and his supporters. A major gaffe occurred in Oregon, when McCarthy sniffed that Kennedy supporters were "less intelligent" than his own and belittled Indiana (which had by then gone for Kennedy) for lacking a poet of the stature of Robert Lowell—a friend of McCarthy's who often traveled with him. McCarthy also took swipes at Kennedy for chasing after black and white working-class votes.
More negativity infused a debate before the California primary. McCarthy made two ill-considered statements: that he would accept a coalition government that included Communists in Saigon and that only the relocation of inner-city blacks would solve the urban problem. Kennedy pounced, portraying the former idea as soft on communism and the latter diagnosis as a scheme to bus tens of thousands of ghetto residents into white, conservative Orange County. Angered at these characterizations, McCarthy resolved not to support Kennedy if he became the nominee.

Warhammer Level 1-10 OB Thoughts
Now I don't review like a lot of you, and I realize this is beta so a review is pretty much pointless. I worked under one other person ( it means they were lead developer, I was developer ) for the development of two niche MMOs ( One that still runs, and another that was ruined by Rapid Reality… god they were idiots. ), I know what I like, I know good programming, and I know good design. I played Warhammer, and Warhammer 40k on the table top, so I had VERY HIGH expectations for this game ( Warhammer Online), and this is what I have to say. OH… MY… GOD…
Let me start off with saying, I hated WoW. Not because it was a bad game, by all means Blizzard took the best aspects of most games, and put them all together, which is a good idea, they have made millions, it just wasn't for me is all. This made me just a little bit afraid of Warhammer as the graphics are close… but that's about it now that I've been in the beta.
Now I refuse to comment about graphics or audio, as neither of those make a game to me. So let's move on to game play.
Combat: Combat is amazing, especially in RvR. It really doesn't seem like gear makes THAT much of a difference, just like the table top game, it's all about tactics. If you are going to run into battle without thinking, you are going to die, which I love, which is why Order seems to be getting their butts kicked on my server. Blitzkrieg doesn't work people! If you button mash, you will die… SO! A tip for some of you, set up your action bar intelligently as to do the most damage ( or healing ) as you can… quickly.
RvR: This is the best PvP system I have ever used outside of real-time MMOFPS type games, which makes sense as everyone raves about PvP in DAoC ( I've never played it ). I am so impressed with this, words cannot describe my feelings for how much fun I have had smacking people up and down.
Public Quests: This is an awesome idea, like little raids, without having to spend 6 hours just to grab an item you didn't need in the first place. I love the loot chests, and the damage basing. If you don't do anything, you don't get anything. Nice balance there.
Crafting: I still don't understand it, as I have been making talismans and for some reason can't use them. But that's more than likely a problem between chair and keyboard on my end. But the crafting system does seem to be intentional, and planned… not just an idea they had and tacked on at the last second… so, me likey.
Lag/Crashing: For a beta, this is VERY stable. I do not experience lag, nor have I EVER crashed. I am very impressed with this beta so far and have high hopes for the release.
Community: The community is very mature as compared to most games, as well as fun to play with. I hate grouping as most groups I find in MMOs have either no intelligence, or no sense of humor… not true here on the destruction side.
That's about what I have to say for now, more updates when the game goes gold… but I'm sure I will only have even better things to say about the game at that point.
P.S. Sorry to you EU players that are having such a bad time with GOA… please don't blame Mythic… blame those morons at GOA for their inability to properly develop ANYTHING.
Mythic needs to DROP KICK GOA OVER TO AFRICA DAMNIT
Good review, and I agree.Tue Sep 09 2008 4:49PM Report
Whats GoA?? o.o
Good review, I finally saw someone who doesnt flame WoW without reason hehe.
Man, i wanna play WAR, but it sucks having to buy the game for then trying out.
Thats a terrible plan, I would never buy a game that its still in beta without even having a little taste of it =\
Althought (sorry if it's tipeed wrong) the trailers and dev. videos say a lot about the game, I just can't trust videos...Tue Sep 09 2008 9:00PM Report
I understand the not wanting to play without a trial Razien, I myself feel the same way. I pre-ordered because I am a player of the warhammer table top game and well... we are geeks and have been waiting for this for a long time lol. I dont trust videos either, so reserve your own judgement until you feel you should try it. Thank you for the kind comment and understanding that I wasnt bashing WoW as well, not alot of people will catch that I dont hate the game, it just doesnt tickle my fancy is all hehe.Tue Sep 09 2008 10:06PM Report
yup, this is exactly my experience so far! I thought it would be a silly clone of another game, but so far they have taken good aspects and pieced together a fantastic game so far with almost no bugs (also from what I've seen). I kept my expectations low in going in and I was really amazed at what was presented. Trust me it is NOT a WOW clone, the graphics make look like it, but it is very much different!Wed Sep 10 2008 2:51AM Report
A well summed up "review". It pretty much goes along what I have experienced so far. And as I have to go with GoA (>_>) and also had to put up with them in DAoC I can't say I'm surprised at all the problems we've faced on this side of the pond.
Apart from that, once in game I had a blast and haven't had problems with lag nor latency. Altho I haven't played very long I pretty much jumped into RvR the first chance I got (was level 2 at that time) and had a complete blast.
As you say, going into RvR and not thinking equals death. On the server I play I've yet to see Destruction lose ; )
I once promised myself never to have anything to do with GoA ever again, this game is too good to skip - even with GoA handling it.Wed Sep 10 2008 4:45AM Report
GOA sucks i have told every EU player to get themselves a NA copy, to not do so would just bring them pain and suffering.
Thank you for this review i so sick of people being like well. it had something in common with another mmo so the entire game sucks , or just reviewing it with incorrect information (wonder if they played it at all).
I am not sure if the game will be good at all (end game over time), but it the most stable and polished mmo release ever.Wed Sep 10 2008 9:38AM Report
"It really doesn't seem like gear makes THAT much of a difference"
Too bad the truth is that it does make a difference.Wed Sep 10 2008 11:37AM Report

Something is missing in the right corner but I do not know what.... If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear
Looks like the light is coming from that direction, so maybe a small torch or coals or something?
Flip the image R-L might help. Then we are drawn back to the empty space, not left to drift out of the image through it?
maybe just the haze of a bright light shining in the corner would fill the space?

SunPower reported earnings of 16 cents in the fourth quarter, better than the 5-cent loss Wall Street consensus called for. But keep in mind that the consensus was predicated on SunPower booking revenue from its California Valley Solar Ranch project at $100 million in the quarter. The company booked $186 million in revenue from the project -- which is a high-priced power purchase agreement contract, meaning lucrative -- and that swung earnings by 19 cents, according to Stifel analysts. The large-scale project business is "lumpy," in that it is hard to model when the project revenue will hit the books quarter to quarter. So it's important to look within the "SunPower beats" headline to the trickiness of modeling project revenue and how that creates a big beat. SunPower guided to a loss in the first quarter of 2012 of between 5 cents and 20 cents a share. The company's revenue guidance for 2012 implies that it at least meets the Wall Street consensus, with a range of $2.6 billion to $3 billion. SunPower said it is "committed" to earning money in 2012, but with the only quarter for which it provided specific guidance, it expects to lose money. The situation was improved in the fourth quarter, but SunPower's profitability isn't necessarily improving in 2012. Steve Simko, analyst at Morningstar, also cautioned that while SunPower said it is committed to earning money in 2012 and it guided to a revenue high-end of $3 billion which is above the consensus, the company revised guidance several times in 2011. Better Gross Margins
SunPower reported gross margin of 12.4% in the fourth quarter, and the big part of that was the project business, where margins were above 17%. Residential and commercial gross margin was at 7.5%, which continues a margin trend that has gone straight down from 23% in the first quarter 2011. For the first quarter 2012, SunPower guided blended gross margin lower to a range of 9% to 11%. "While non-GAAP revenue recognition from the CVSR led to a better than expected quarter and 2012/13 North American UPP pipeline looks healthy, the overall solar market conditions continue to be challenging and pricing aggressive, as demonstrated by the pressure on R&C margins that continued to drift lower for the sixth consecutive quarter," Stifel noted. Simko said he estimates that the CVSR project generates gross margins of 21% for SunPower. "That's as good as it gets for them," he said.

YES. Took the bus for 2.5 years in high school, never again. Our bus stop was the first stop, so it always came the earliest (6:45am), and every time it snowed, It was late. It was also extremely over crowded; sometimes people had to sit in the aisles where it was all wet and disgusting from everyone walking through the snow. My bus also had the BEST people on it >.> They would always smoke in the back of the bus and make it smell awful in there (once they even lit the bus seat on fire). And since I was the first stop in the morning, I was the last stop in the afternoon, so I was on the bus for a total of an hour per day with these idiots.
I was so happy when I got that car. Maybe that's where my hate of the cold/snow comes form? xD

Time Bewteen Flights at Heathrow
We are arriving at Heathrow on Virgin Atlantic at 11:45 and will depart on BA at 14:15. Since I booked these separately (change in plans caused this) I will have to clear customs and immigrations. My question is: has anyone done this and is this enough time. BA said it was but I'm a little nervous.

This doctor is one of the best in Knoxville. He knows his stuff and just a great person as well as a doctor. Very caring and interested in his patient(s).
Most caring Doctor I have ever come into contact with, He truly cares for his patients.
Dr Chad is the best doctor I've ever been to! Unlike many doctors today, you can really see that he genuinely cares about his patients. He always sits down and takes his time with me. He listens to the patient and realizes that the patients knows their own body better than a doctor. He is very knowledgeable, and has always taken care of my health concerns or needs. He is a very gentle doctor, and has never came across arrogant to me. He is very professional. I do have to wait awhile sometimes; however, I do not mind because I know when I do see him, he will take his time, listen, and never rush. Dr Chaud sees my entire family, and I wouldn't want to see anyone else. I'm very lucky to have the "best doctor ever" as I many times tell friends. Great Doctor!
For many years, Dr. Chaudhuri was my "doctor". I was first sent to him because I had symptoms of Lyme disease, I had symptoms that were just inexplicable. Dr. Chaudhuri immediately ruled out Lyme disease but then, for years, discounted my symptoms. He once said, "No one is going to FEEL SORRY for you. Why are you so tired? You are my age and I even play tennis after work, why do you complain?" This was when I fell asleep in the office due to fatigue. So, I tried more to not complain but it just got worse. I had a career, worked, took care of my family, but felt this strange fatigue that was not like just being tired. Then, I lost my eyesight and it was multiple sclerosis. I do not understand how an internal medicine specialist could not see that I had MS for years before it got so destructive and severed my optic nerve. If it had been treated when I first had the symptoms, even 10 years after I first had symptoms, I might be better today. He is arrogant and uncaring, totally oblivious to symptoms.
Dr. Chaudhuri is simply the best. He is the most caring doctor I know. I entrust the health of myself and my wife and son to Dr. Chad. He is a fine man. We are fortunate to have him looking over us.
My experiences with Doctor Chaudhuri, are great. As a medical doctor he has been their for me through the good and ugly times. I really do take my hat off to him, because he could have given up on me. Courtesy and caring spend time in seeing what is the root of the problem. I always tell my friends, family about him and do tell others to go see him. The only dislike I have is the staff that works at the "Front Desk" These women need so behavior changes not nice at all. Over all excellent!
