Standards of Conduct
The nursing student shall comply with legal, moral, and legislative standards that determine unacceptable behavior of the nurse and that may be cause for denial of a license to practice as a registered nurse, in accordance with the Alabama law regulating practice of registered and practical nursing, stated below:
The board shall have the power to deny, revoke, or suspend any license issued by it or to otherwise discipline a licensee upon proof that the licensee is guilty of fraud or deceit in procuring or attempting to procure a license; has been convicted of a felony; is guilty of a crime involving moral turpitude or of gross immorality that would tend to bring reproach upon the nursing profession; is unfit or incompetent due to personal habits; is habitually intemperate due to the use of alcohol, or is addicted to the use of habit-forming drugs to such an extent as to render him or her unsafe or unreliable as a licensee; has been convicted of any violation of a federal or state law relating to controlled substances; is mentally incompetent; is guilty of unprofessional conduct of a character likely to deceive, defraud, or injure the public in matters pertaining to health; or has willfully or repeatedly violated any of the provisions of this article as defined by board rules and regulations.*
Failure to comply with any of the above stipulations while in the nursing program constitutes grounds for dismissal from the program.
It is important for nursing students to know about the Alabama Board of Nursing's regulations governing review of candidates for eligibility for initial and continuing licensure. There will be questions on the application to take the examination for licensure as a registered nurse that ask "Have you ever been arrested for or convicted of a criminal offense?" and "Have you ever been arrested for or convicted of driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol?" Application to take the examination may be denied on the basis of this review. Although these policies apply specifically in Alabama, other states have similar stipulations for licensure.
Essential Skills and Behaviors
See "Promotion Policies," Item 1, p. 239.
Hours and Grade Points
- The student must complete a minimum of 127 hours* of academic credit approved by the Capstone College of Nursing to meet the requirements for the degree of bachelor of science in nursing. Additional courses may be necessary for students to meet the University Core Curriculum requirements.
- All coursework leading to the B.S.N. degree, including electives, requires a minimum grade of "C-."
CPR Certification
Evidence of current certification as a professional-level provider of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is required for registration in all clinical nursing courses. Students are responsible for obtaining and maintaining current CPR certification while enrolled in the Capstone College of Nursing. Certification must be renewed annually and verified through presentation of a CPR card to the Office of Nursing Student Services.
Verification of Health Status
A health form must be completed prior to matriculation in the upper division and prior to beginning senior-level courses if the student's health status has changed. The health form is available from the Capstone College of Nursing ONSS and must be completed by a licensed physician or a certified nurse practitioner. Students must also present documentation of immunization against hepatitis B and other specified communicable diseases prior to progressing to the upper division and prior to the beginning of the senior year.
Many nursing courses have specific prerequisites. See course descriptions for prerequisites.
Policies Governing Progression and Graduation
Upon promotion to the upper division, students progress to clinical nursing courses in the established sequence. If a student's progression is interrupted for any reason, it is the student's responsibility to contact the director of the undergraduate nursing program to request consideration for reassignment. Because spaces in clinical courses are limited, any alteration of the usual progression may lengthen the student's program.
To be eligible for the degree of bachelor of science in nursing, a candidate must show successful completion of the courses required in the nursing program of studies and complete a minimum of 32 semester hours at The University of Alabama.
Academic Probation and Suspension
- The general academic scholarship rules of the University apply to students enrolled in the Capstone College of Nursing; however, any written agreements entered into by students and the dean of the College take precedence over the University's general rule. See "Student Records and General Academic Policies," p. 19, for further details.
- Any student who receives a second "D" or "F" in any nursing course, or in any combination of nursing courses, will be academically suspended from the Capstone College of Nursing.
Readmission of Academically Suspended Students
After a lapse of one regular semester from the last date of enrollment, a student who has been suspended by the Capstone College of Nursing may apply for readmission through the Office of Academic Programs. This application may be submitted immediately after notification of suspension. The application, the student's record of performance, and other pertinent information submitted by the student will be reviewed, and a recommendation concerning the application for readmission will be made to the dean of the College. Students who are suspended a second time are placed on indefinite academic suspension.
Readmission following Withdrawal
A student who has withdrawn from the upper division of the Capstone College of Nursing and who wishes to be readmitted after an absence of one semester or more must (1) apply for readmission by contacting the office of the associate dean for academic programs of the Capstone College of Nursing and (2) apply for readmission to the University by contacting the Records Office. Permission to return to the Capstone College of Nursing will depend on the student's previous performance and the availability of space in the required nursing courses. Readmission may require repeating courses to ensure that knowledge is current.
Maximum Hours
A student may not exceed a course load of 18 semester hours, except with the approval of the dean.
Policy on Repeating Courses
- A record of all courses attempted will appear on the student's transcript.
- If a grade below "C" is received in any course required in the program of study, the course must be repeated on a space-available basis.
Pass/Fail Option
With special permission, a student may choose to receive a grade of "Pass" ("P") or "Fail" ("F") for a course, instead of the conventional "A," "B," "C," "D," or "F." If a "P" is earned, the hours count, but the grade point average is not affected. If an "F" is earned, the grade point average is reduced.
- Only elective courses may be taken pass/fail.
- Courses used to meet University Core Curriculum requirements may not be taken on a pass/fail basis.
- Forms for the pass/fail option may be obtained from the College's ONSS.
- See "Student Records and General Academic Policies," p. 19, for further details.
Administrative Withdrawal from Clinical Nursing Courses
Students' clinical experiences are considered a vital part of learning the practice of professional nursing, and faculty guidance is available in facilitating these learning experiences. As students progress through the program of studies, they are expected to increase their abilities to function independently and assume responsibility for their actions. When a student's clinical decision making is deemed by faculty to constitute unsafe or unethical nursing practice, or when there is lack of adherence to established policies and procedures related to professional conduct, the student will receive a failing grade in the course and will be withdrawn from the course and/or suspended from the program. Administrative withdrawal procedures are initiated by faculty through the office of the associate dean for academic programs. Further progression in the Capstone College of Nursing is determined according to the rules for academic probation and suspension and the availability of space.
Auditing Courses
Clinical nursing courses are not open to auditors.
Clinical Nursing Expenses
Standard University of Alabama tuition is charged for enrollment in clinical nursing courses. In addition to textbook expenses, clinical nursing students are responsible for the provision of uniforms and supplies for performance in the clinical area. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from all clinical experiences. The expense of required liability insurance and standardized-test fees is also the responsibility of the student. Detailed information on ordering uniforms and supplies will be furnished when students are promoted to the upper division of the nursing program.
In addition to standard University fees, a laboratory fee is assessed when students are enrolled in nursing courses. Costs for textbooks, physical-assessment equipment, and other supplies for the first semester of upper-division work substantially exceed those of subsequent semesters.
Late Registration
There is no late registration for clinical nursing courses.
Time Limit
If requirements for the degree have not been completed within five years after initial registration in the Capstone College of Nursing, the student's academic record will be reviewed to establish appropriate changes or requirements. Any student who has not enrolled in upper-division courses for more than one semester is required to seek approval from the office of the associate dean for academic programs prior to registration to enroll in any subsequent courses. Approval may require repeating courses to ensure that knowledge is current.
Exit Exams
Students are required to make passing scores on all standardized exit exams given in the College. A student who fails to achieve a satisfactory score must complete a remediation program. Failure to satisfactorily complete the standardized program exit exam in the last semester of the program may delay the student's graduation from the B.S.N. program.
Review Course
Each student is strongly encouraged to take a review course near the end of the B.S.N. program in preparation for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX).
B.S.N. Degree*
The degree of bachelor of science in nursing requires the completion of the courses designated in the following program of studies. Elective hours may be used to complete a major portion of the University Core Curriculum; additional courses, however, may be required. Students may choose to enroll in a summer session(s) to meet requirements and to adjust the program of studies to meet individual needs. Students should also review Core Curriculum requirements in the section "Student Records and General Academic Policies," p. 19. Bold letters indicate courses that meet specific University Core Curriculum requirements. Clinical nursing courses are not taught in summer sessions.

Fathers, firefighters: Lives lost in West, Texas
WACO, Texas On April 17, an explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas, leveled part of the small town located some 20 miles north of Waco. Most of the victims were first responders from fire departments in West and other nearby towns that were on the scene trying to control the fire that preceded the blast.
With help from relatives, friends, obituaries of the deceased released by local funeral homes and information provided at a memorial service, The Associated Press compiled vignettes of the 14 victims who died in the blast. They were a grandmother, a town secretary, a fire truck builder, a town festival organizer, a Superman fan, fishing enthusiasts, hunters, fathers, men preparing to become emergency medical technicians, and devoted church and local organization members.
Here are their stories:
KEVIN WILLIAMS SANDERS: Teacher, Superman fan
Sanders, 33, was known for his love of all things related to Superman. He and he and his wife, Sarah, named their son Reeve, after actor Christopher Reeve, who played the superhero in the movies.
Sanders grew up in the Chicago suburb of Palos Hills, Ill., and graduated from the University of Illinois with a bachelor's degree in animal science in 2001. He taught veterinary technician training at McLennan Community College in Waco. About 20 of his current and former McLennan Community College students attended a memorial service for some of the victims wearing T-shirts displaying the Superman emblem.
Sanders was a volunteer firefighter with the Bruceville-Eddy Volunteer Fire Department near West and was taking EMS class in West when the plant caught fire.
He is survived by his wife and 3-month-old son.
MORRIS BRIDGES JR.: Father, motorcyclist
Bridges, 41, had been with West's volunteer fire department for three years. His wife says his last words as he left home to fight the fertilizer plant fire were telling his infant son that he loved him and he'd be "right back." Bridges grew up in Dallas but lived in West. He loved to ride motorcycles and go fishing and camping. He is survived by his wife, Carmen, and three children.
WILLIAM "BUCK" UPTMOR: Fence-builder, musician, rodeo devotee
Uptmor, 45, owned a fence-building business and was supposed to start a job at a nearby ranch soon. Among other projects, Uptmor's company built the local cemetery's fence, said Bill McKown, a retired school superintendent from Abbott, Texas, a town six miles from West.
"He was always busy," building fences, McKown said. "Because he was very reliable."
Uptmor was the drummer for the band Billy Uptmor and the Makers. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, watching his children's sporting events, coaching Little League and supporting his daughter in barrel racing. He trained and jockeyed race horses and loved to rodeo, whether it was riding bulls or saddle and bareback broncos, according to an obituary released by a funeral home in West.
"I told him: `You probably got every bone in your body broken.' And he said, `That's probably true,'" McKown said.
He is survived by his wife of 13 years, Arcy Uptmor, his parents, two sons, a daughter, a grandmother, a brother, a sister and several nieces and nephews.
JOEY PUSTEJOVSKY: A caring, devout man
Joey Pustejovsky, 29, one of the volunteer firefighters killed in the blast, was the secretary for the town of West, said Veronica Felderhoff, a volunteer at the church where Pustejovsky's mother, Carolyn, works as a secretary to the rectory.
"He was a very caring person, always ready to help, a very devout Catholic," Felderhoff said. The Pustejovskys attended Mass every Sunday.
A funeral home obituary said Pustejovsky had been town secretary since 2009 and had worked as a personal property appraiser for McLennan County Appraisal District. He was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church of The Assumption, where he started the youth ministry and was the director for two years of the Catholic Brothers and Sisters United Youth Ministry, the obituary said.

Particle Tracing in a Micromixer
Application ID: 12151
Micromixers can either be static or dynamic depending on the required mixing time and length scale. For static mixers, the Reynolds number has to be suitable high to induce turbulence enhanced mixing. Often micromixers operate in the laminar flow regime due to their small characteristic size. The diffusivity of a solute in the flowing fluid may also be extremely small, on the order of 10?10m2/s. This results in mixing length scales on the order of meters—clearly unacceptable for a microscale device. Static mixers try to alleviate the problem by adding mixing elements to induce vorticity into the flow. A dynamic mixer uses rotating blades to enhance the mixing process, allowing for smaller scale devices. The one big disadvantage of a dynamic mixer is that moving parts are required. This model uses the Rotating Machinery, Laminar Flow and Particle Tracing for Fluid Flow interfaces.

"No one has ever become poor by giving. "
Volunteer Group Gives Wounded Vets a Lift
The Veterans Airlift Command (www.veteransairlift.org) is looking for a few good pilots-and airplanes. The mission: help convalescing servicemen and women wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan with their recovery. Formed in July 2005, the nonprofit VAC uses volunteer pilots and donated aircraft to transport soldiers and their families to military hospitals and rehabilitation centers and help with their other travel needs.
Founder Walter Fricke, a former Army helicopter pilot wounded in the Vietnam War, knows firsthand the importance of family visits to recovering soldiers. "I didn't start healing until my family got [to the hospital where I was recuperating]," Fricke said. "In fact, I was going downhill until they got there. I really know the value of having a family close by and also for kids getting home on convalescent leave."
VAC flew its first mission in late 2006, taking a wounded marine home to Melbourne, Fla., from a ceremony in Jacksonville, N.C., where he received a Purple Heart and other honors. The trip from Melbourne, using commercial air transportation, took four layovers and 13 hours. The marine's father, hoping to spare his son the ordeal of a similar return trip, sought help from VAC after being referred by the Military Severely Injured Center. "We flew him home in two-and-a-half hours nonstop," Fricke said.
"The aviation community really connects on this, and they have been pretty aggressive in signing up," added Fricke, who noted that more than 230 aircraft and 300 pilots are currently in the volunteer network. VAC expects to provide at least 250 flights by the end of this year and will be capable of flying 1,000 missions in 2008. Most flights are 500 miles or less and the maximum distance is about 800 miles.
The pilots and those who donate use of their aircraft bear all costs, including fuel and airport fees. Volunteers say it's a small price for the opportunity to give something back to the soldiers who've done so much for their country. Meanwhile, these volunteers are heroes in their own right to those who rely on VAC.
"[VAC's] support to our nation's service members, as well as to their families, plays an integral role in raising morale and aiding the healing process," said Gen. Richard B. Myers, honorary vice-chair of VAC's National Advisory Board. "The service they provide is both unparalleled and unwavering and shows that America really appreciates all their sacrifices."

Atmospheric Corrosion
Application ID: 16065
This model simulates atmospheric galvanic corrosion of an aluminum alloy in contact with steel. The electrolyte film thickness depends on the relative humidity of the surrounding air and the salt load density of NaCl crystals on the metal surface. Empirical expressions for the oxygen diffusivity and solubility are also included in the model in order to derive an expression for the limiting oxygen reduction current density.

A long-awaited film biopic chronicling the life of late rapper Tupac Shakur will eventually start filming in 2014.
Bosses at Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films and Morgan Creek Productions have announced they are financing and producing the film, titled "Tupac," according to Deadline.com. Shakur's mother, Afeni Shakur, is also on board as a producer.
The project has been on hold for years following a dispute between Afeni and Morgan Creek executives, who accused her of continuing to negotiate after a deal over the film rights was agreed.
Shakur's mom counter-sued the film studio bosses, claiming there was no deal. The two parties reached a settlement in 2011.
Tupac will be filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, but there's still no word on who will direct or star in the movie.
Shakur was killed in a shooting incident in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1996.

Fab FourThose of us who attended Wednesday's "Pro Dev: Ethiopian Varieties" were lucky enough to get a sneak peek at and taste of the four single-farmer coffees that we'll taste this Friday. I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to taste them again! It's no exaggeration to say that these are some of the best coffees that we'll have this year, regardless of how you define "best".
Notes on the CoffeesOlke Birre is a farmer from the kabele, or village, of Haru, who grows mostly Kudhume-variety coffee at an elevation of over 2000 meters. He was one of the first participants in this single-farmer program that we met (at our organic composting workshop in 2013, to which he arrived wearing a gold medal and a blinding smile) and we are especially pleased to have this coffee this year because last year it was promised to another roaster before we had a chance to express our interest. Also, because it is practically perfect.
Mesele Haile lives about a mile from downtown Yirgacheffe in Hafursa, which is a name that Counter Culture old-timers will remember. He grows mostly Wolisho-variety coffee with a smaller percentage of Kudhume and Dega, and his farm sits at 1,800 meters. We also met Mesele at the composting workshop and, in fact, the culmination of that workshop, the collective building of a composting bin, and a coffee ceremony for forty of us took place on his farm. This coffee arrived tasting a little flatter than we had hoped, so we are tweaking the roast and looking at this coffee closely before we roll it out.
Elias Benata grows mostly Wolisho, but also has some Dega and Kudhume on his farm, which is in the kebele of Biloya at around 1,800 meters. The first single-farmer lots we committed to purchase from YCFCU last year were sundried natural coffees, which takes just as much skill to produce as washed coffee, but requires less up-front investment in infrastructure than building a full washing station on a farm.
Like Elias, Aleme Wako (note that it's Aleme - pronounced AL-eh-meh, not Alemu, as previously spelled) is a farmer in Biloya, who produces sundried natural coffees on his farm. In Kochere, which is south of the Yirgacheffe district, the farms tend to be a little bigger and newer than farms in Yirgacheffe, and with sixteen acres each, Elias and Aleme have large farms for co-op members.
While we can't help but get excited about every delicious single-farmer coffee we taste, it's also important to us to reinforce the relationships we've built over the years, so it's no coincidence that these lots come from the familiar kabeles of Haru and Biloya.

to be honest I have no idea. Thats why I came here! haha... Once we decided FOR SURE that we're going there then i can really start looking into it... all i know now is there are good bucks in there and I'm down to go anywhere I need to to find some good bucks to hunt.
I'm guessing that most of the good areas in Region G are going to be backpack/horse pack type in hunts right??

What was Mark Whitacre thinking? A rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Whitacre suddenly turns whistleblower. Even as he exposes his company's multi-national price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI, Whitacre envisions himself being hailed as a hero of the common man and handed a promotion. But before all that can happen, the FBI needs evidence, so Whitacre eagerly agrees to wear a wire and carry a hidden tape recorder in his briefcase, imagining himself as a kind of de facto secret agent. Unfortunately for the FBI, their lead witness hasn't been quite so forthcoming about helping himself to the corporate coffers. Whitacre's ever-changing account frustrates the agents ...

Although this nebula is fan-shaped in photographs and has many finer tendrils, in the EP from my location all I was able to resolve was a oval patch of light. Still, this is an interesting nebula and, when using the OIII filter is one that offers spectacular views as it is nestled in a very rich star field.
The nebula was sketched with the OIII filter in place, and the background stars were sketched without the filter. Approximate time at the EP to sketch this object along with the background stars was just a hair under 45 minutes. Digital rendering created using original pencil sketch as a template in PhotoShop.
Here is how NGC 1491 appeared to me:

WHEELING - It had to be something to keep T.J. Brancazio from PNC Park Monday when his Pittsburgh Pirates were trying to finish off St. Louis and capture their first postseason series victory in 34 years.
It was.
Brancazio, the Pirates fan, also doubles as the golf coach at Madonna.
The Blue Dons begin their quest for the Class A state title beginning today at the Robert Trent Jones course at Oglebay Park.
Monday, while the Bucs were falling to the Cards 2-1, to force a Game 5 Wednesday in St. Louis, Brancazio was putting his team through the paces during their practice round.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world," Brancazio said. "I was at both of the (playoff) games in Pittsburgh and I'm 24-6 this year. This takes precedence, and it's not even close."
Brancazio is hoping his team fares a little better than the Pirates did Monday.
"If we play as well as we are capable of, I think we can make a run at it," he said.
It may not have as much to do with his own team as it does the competition. Defending champion Charleston Catholic, like Madonna, and Buffalo, return all their top players from a year ago.
Catholic bolted out to a 19-stroke lead last year and cruised to the title.
Madonna and Buffalo were left to battle it out for second, which the Blue Dons were able to do.
Brancazio does believe this year can be different.
"Last year, Charleston Catholic, which has an outstanding team, got off to such a good start," he said. "We have set a number, a number I have in mind, and if we can shoot in that range somewhere, I think we will be in good shape for (heading into Day 2)."
Brancazio said that number is 235, the number that Catholic carded in the first round a year ago in taking what proved to be an insurmountable score.
Balance is the key for Madonna.
Take Region 1 medalist Nick Mazur.
The day before the Region 1 tournament, Mazur was in a shootout with teammate Matthew Lyons just to make the four-man rotation.
He won 78-80 at Williams Country Club and ended up shooting a 75 at the Region 1 tournament to medal.
"There have been times when our guys are shooting within a stroke or two of one another, but the same can be said of Charleston Catholic, and Buffalo, and St. Mary's for that matter," Brancazio said.
"For a coach, it's a nice position to be in. I'm not going to put pressure on them, they are capable of shooting good numbers and the fact that we've been here is also a plus.
"A lot of times, the first day is when you have the butterflies, but after you hit that first shot, they'll settle into it."
No. 1 Michael Rogers, who won the OVAC championship this year, is the catalyst.
"He's played pretty consistently the whole season," Brancazio said. "I think what has helped is our other guys have elevated their play. You know that Michael is going to shoot his 75 to 80 and that just motivates the other guys to get a (low) number."
The scoring format in the state tournament is four players and count the three lowest scores.
Alex Colantonio and Thomas Gianni will also tee it up for Madonna, which had a 227 (in the range of what Brancazio is hoping for Tuesday, though that was at the Blue Dons' home course) to edge runnerup St. Mary's (244), which also qualified as a team.
Other area individuals qualifying for the Class A tournament are Magnolia's Peyton Moore and Bishop Donahue's Steven Gretchen.
In Class AAA, defending state champion Cole Hand is back, helping his team place second in the Region 1 tournament last week.
Parkersburg South was the top qualifying team, led by OVAC champion Adeena Shears and Region I medalist Alex Schreckengost (74).
Qualifying for Park are Hand, Kyle Wenzel, Dylan Wojcik and Freddie Fitzsimmons.
Individual qualifiers were Brooke's Logan Lojszcyk (76) and University's Eric Wirth (80).

Game play from the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which appears to cast players in the role of a terrorist, has caused a maelstrom on the Internet.
While Activision has been extremely active in trying to get the footage off of the Web, clips still appear on a variety of websites.
Warning: if you were planning to play the game without knowing anything about it, these videos definitely contain spoilers, so watch at your own risk.
CNN's iReport still has a 3.00 minute plus video up, showing a group of characters, dressed in civilian clothes with body armor over top, emerging from an elevator into an airport and wantonly gunning down a group of (what appears to be) civilians. Another disturbing image shows a non-player character attempting to drag another injured NPC to safety, only to have them both gunned down by the player. The group of terrorists then systematically marches through the building killing and finishing off any people still left in their path.
OnlineGamingEurope has much the same footage, but with a little differing overlap, showing the group of terrorists emerging from the airport and killing people on the tarmac in the shadow of an airplane.
Comparing officially issued screenshots with the leaked footage, along with other visual cues, GameSpot verified, to the best of their knowledge, that the footage is from the actual game. Activision's full-scale attempts to take down the videos appear to back up GameSpot's claims.
GameSpot further compared the rampage shown in the video to the killings that took place in Mumbai, India last year. The gaming site speculates that the terrorist mission might be one of an undercover nature for the player, who must contribute or blow his cover.
What's different about this bubbling controversy is that even some gaming websites are questioning whether or not this takes things too far. OnlineGamingEurope wrote that they found the footage "hard to stomach." GameSpot added that, "The brutal nature of the airport massacre and the ever-sensitive subject of terrorism might prove a toxic mix, publicity-wise, if the mainstream media decides to pounce on it." The Escapist asks, "Tell me that this doesn't have "moral outrage" written all over it."
IndustryGamers was a bit more reflective:
It'd be easy for Infinity Ward to simply have a non-interactive cut scene depicting parts of this terrorist action, but by putting players into the middle of it, it makes the actions much more real and the consequences more tangible; it's hard not to get a lump in your throat as innocents are being shot down in your gunsights.
GP: The context of the footage is still unknown, and while it could even be a dream sequence or flashback, players do man the guns and pull the trigger. What makes the footage so striking is the level of visuals in Modern Warfare 2, as even in blurry online footage the action looks almost real, taking this a level beyond the cartoonish violence of games such as Grand Theft Auto.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in, we saw it too!

The scion of a Cincinnati political dynasty is starting to make it big in Hollywood.
Jesse Luken, the grandson of ex-Congressman Tom Luken and the nephew of former Mayor Charlie Luken, has recently landed notable roles on TV and film.
Luken recently had a recurring role on the third season of Justified on the FX cable network. He played Jimmy, a Mohawk-wearing young thug in the gang led by Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins).
Now Luken has been cast in 42, the big-screen biopic about Jackie Robinson, the first African-American player in Major League Baseball. Luken will portray Brooklyn Dodgers second baseman Eddie Stanky in the film, which is due to be released on April 12, 2013. The release is timed to coincide with MLB's Jackie Robinson Day, held every April 15 to commemorate the date in 1947 when Robinson played his first game with the Dodgers.
The film, named after the number worn by Robinson, also features Chadwick Boseman in the title role; Harrison Ford as Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey, who signed Robinson; and Christopher Meloni as Dodgers manager Leo Durocher.
Luken is a Colorado Springs, Colo., native who previously had guest roles on the TV series NCIS, Law and Order: L.A. and Greek.
Voter turnout for Tuesday's Ohio primary was a disappointing 13.9 percent but the turnout among young people — those aged 30 and under — was even lower.
Although the Republican primary in Ohio was highly contested, youth turnout was far below the amount that voted in the 2008 primary. Just 7 percent of Ohio youth turned out Tuesday to vote in the Republican primary, compared to 25 percent four years ago when there was both a contested Democratic and Republican primary.
An analysis by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) found that about 131,000 young people voted Tuesday, with 37 percent choosing Rick Santorum, 28 percent choosing Mitt Romney and 25 percent choosing Ron Paul.
Despite the dismal number, Ohio still was above the overall youth turnout for the 10 contests on Super Tuesday. CIRCLE found that youth turnout was 5 percent in the seven primaries and three caucuses.
Combining the five Super Tuesday states in which exit polls were conducted with adequate youth samples, CIRCLE estimates that 88,000 total youth voted for Paul, with nearly 88,000 who voted for Santorum, about 86,000 for Romney, and about 43,000 for Newt Gingrich.
The candidates performed differently in each state: Paul came in first among youth voters in Virginia; Santorum, in Ohio and Tennessee; Romney, in Massachusetts; and Gingrich, in Georgia.
In all of the primaries and caucuses so far — excluding states where there were no exit or entrance polls about youth vote choice — youth vote tallies stand at approximately 201,000 for Romney, 200,000 for Paul, 162,000 for Santorum, and 87,000 for Gingrich.
By this point in the 2008 primary campaign, Democrat Barack Obama had drawn more than six times as many youth votes as any of the Republican 2012 candidates, with about 1.36 million youth votes, although more primaries were contested on or before Super Tuesday in 2008.
Political observers have theorized there is an "enthusiasm gap" among Republican voters based on lower overall voter turnout in most of the states that have held presidential primaries so far. Turnout has been lower in eight of the 13 states when compared to the 2008 primaries — although Ohio isn't among them.
Ohio's overall voter turnout this year was 13.9 percent, higher than the 12.8 percent who voted in 2008, but lower than the 16.8 percent who voted in 2000, according to a review by the Bipartisan Policy Center and the Center for the Study of the American Electorate.
Based on final and official results from the six states whose primaries preceded Super Tuesday and near final and unofficial results from the seven Super Tuesday primaries, 7.85 million people voted out of 68.13 million eligible citizens, or 11.5 percent.
Turnout was 13.2 percent of eligible citizens in 2008, and it was 12.2 percent in 2000.
Founded in 2001, CIRCLE conducts research on young Americans' voting and political participation, along with other forms of civic engagement. It is based at Tufts University in Massachusetts.
Founded in 2007 by former Senate Majority Leaders Howard Baker, Tom Daschle, Bob Dole and George Mitchell, the Bipartisan Policy Center is a think tank that seeks to create policy solutions through "reasoned negotiation and respectful dialogue." It is based in Washington, D.C.
A survey of more than 1,000 technology experts, critics and students has revealed a split about how the Internet and other technological advances are affecting "Generation Y."
The Pew Research Center's survey, released today, found a majority of respondents believed the technology would create a generation of nimble decision-makers, while almost as many feared it would cause young people to become easily distracted and lack deep thinking skills.
Wait. What were we talking about?
The survey found 55 percent of respondents agreed with a statement that "in 2020 the brains of young people would be 'wired' differently from those over 35, with good results for finding answers quickly and without shortcomings in their mental processes."
But it also found 45 percent who agreed with a second statement "in 2020 young technology users would be easily distracted, would lack deep thinking skills and would thirst only for instant gratification."
"A number of the survey respondents argued that it is vital to reform education and emphasize digital literacy," a Pew summary stated. "A notable number expressed concerns that trends are leading to a future in which most people are shallow consumers of information, and some mentioned George Orwell's 1984 or expressed their fears of control by powerful interests in an age of entertaining distractions."
Generation Y, also known as the Millennial Generation, are generally considered to be composed of people born between the late 1970s and the early '90s.
Pew's online survey questioned 1,021 people involved with technology and was conducted from Aug. 28 to Oct. 31, 2011, as part of Pew's ongoing project on the Internet and American life.
Respondents included industry insiders like Bruce Nordman, a research scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Hal Varian, Google's top economist, along with university and high school students.
The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County has been selected as one of the Top 10 Children's Libraries in the United States by a national website.
Livability.com chose the main library as No. 10 on its list partially because of its Children's Learning Center, which features child-sized tables and chairs, a saltwater aquarium and multiple rooms for programs, along with a 9,200-square-foot children's garden.
Cincinnati City Council is set to approve $960,000 to fund this year's Summer Youth Employment Program, but the councilwoman overseeing the process wants to begin collecting data to track outcomes and increase efficiency.
Council's Budget and Finance Committee this afternoon heard a presentation from city staffers about plans for the 2012 program, which is designed to provide employment and training for low-income youth.

BIG ISSUE HERE - You guys are talking about certain guns being up to handling 7.62 NATO and 308 as the same thing. It's my understanding that 7.62 NATO uses 50ksi-ish chamber pressures and that 308 Winchester uses 62ksi-ish ones.
I would be very concerned about making a gun designed for 7.62 NATO only to take US commercial 308 Winchester ammo.
Am I wrong about this, and are the Galils and Yugos designed to take US commercial ammo and not just 7.62 NATO? For the Saiga-308 to be marketed as a sporting gun in the US I'm pretty sure it would be up to the task, hence the third bolt lug at the expense of making a new and very different kind of magazine. But are the Galils and Yugos the same way?
Folks who talk of thousand round torture tests probably aren't using thousands of rounds of commercial 308.
So is there something I'm missing here? If Yugo AKs are in fact up to 308 Winchester, then you bet I'll be doing a build!

Children poisoned after man fakes vehicle repair with duct tape and soup can
WARSAW -- A 31-year-old man faces charges of theft and criminal recklessness after he offered to repair his neighbor's van, but instead exchanged the parts for cash and used spray paint, a soup can and duct tape to fake the repairs, as reported by The Elkhart Truth's news partner WNDU 16.
WNDU reports that David Roper, of Warsaw, told his neighbor he would fix her van if she bought the parts. He later admitted to authorities that he returned the parts to the store and kept the money.
On Oct. 12, while running errands, a woman noticed her 8-year-old daughter and a friend's 3-year-old daughter were unresponsive, as reported by Stacey Page Online. The woman called 911 and all three were treated for carbon monoxide poisoning.
When police investigated the woman's vehicle, they found a soup can fastened to the belly of the van by burned duct tape. Stacey Page Online stories state that police believe Roper taped the soup can in place of one of the parts -- a catalytic converter -- and spray painted other old parts so they would appear new.
Roper was arrested Wednesday and is being held on a $1,500 bond.
More information about the case, including notes from the investigation and quotes from the probable cause affidavit, is available in an article on StaceyPageOnline.com.

Tax plan favors the wealthy
When you look at the new North Carolina tax plan, you will see where the House and Senate have focused their tax relief.
No real news here, since the GOP has been favoring the rich for the past 30 years, and you can see the results.
They literally have devastated the middle class in this country, and it's getting worse.
The average income for the top 1 percent, since 1979, has grown 240 percent … while the average for all workers is only 15 percent. Tax cuts for the rich have played a major role in this travesty.
The tax plan will cut the top rate by 25 percent – the minimum rate – by a whopping 3 percent.
A married couple making $40,000 will see a $352 reduction in their taxes, but lose the earned-income tax credit and the medical expense deduction. The person with $1 million in income will pay $19,000 less in taxes … or what the GOP calls tax fairness.
So when you see your taxes go up in 2014, remember that your money has gone to a good cause.
Putting more money in the hands of the rich does not stimulate the economy, but it does help the re-election of those in power.
When you go to the polls in 2014, remember the priorities of the present leadership in Raleigh.

Detroit's fate
What happened to Detroit? Liberal Democrats and labor unions have been in charge of Detroit since the mid-1950s.

Pave a solution
I read with interest in the July 22 paper about the "bottleneck intersection" at N.C. 211 and Long Beach Road.
Even with the present road construction, it's not going to help, as the Long Beach Road bridge is overcrowded, while the bridge at the west end of Oak Island is little-used.
Boiling Spring Lakes has been asking the state to pave Antenna Farm Road for years, so that people using N.C. 87 could have direct access to the west bridge to Oak Island by using West Boiling Spring Road to connect to Antenna Farm Road.
It sounds complicated, but it only takes some asphalt.

Globi, der kühne Erfinder (1977)
Zürich-born artist Werner Büchi drew the 'Globi' books after the death of the character's creator, Robert Lips. After a period of heavy criticism from educators and child psychologists regarding the character's alleged racism and sexism, Büchi was the first to turn the tide, starting with the 1975 book 'Globis Glanz-Idee: Kampf dem Lärm und Schmutz!'. Büchi was succeeded by Peter Heinzer after five years.

Six men received lengthy prison sentences and were ordered to pay $5.0 million in restitution for defrauding 42 staffing firms, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado reported. Five of the men received sentences of more than 10 years while a sixth was sentenced to more than seven years.
All six were found guilty in a three-week trial that ended Oct. 20, 2011, with the six representing themselves in court, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Sentencings began last week, and the last sentencing took place July 30.
The six defendants sentenced are:
- David Banks, sentenced to 135 months in federal prison
- Demetrius Harper, sentenced to 121 months
- Gary Walker, sentenced to 135 months
- Clinton Stewart, sentenced to 121 months
- David Zirpolo, sentenced to 121 months
- Kendrick Barnes, sentenced to 87 months
Each defendant was taken into custody after sentencing.
Banks and the co-defendants were developing a software program they claimed would help law enforcement agencies, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. They acted through companies known as Leading Team Inc., IRP Solutions Corp.and DKH in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The six used staffing firms to payroll employees despite having no source of income to pay staffing firms, the U.S. Attorney's Office reported. In many cases, a defendant would report hours to a staffing firm while another defendant approved those hours for payment by the staffing firm.
The incidents occurred from October 2002 to February 2005, according to the indictment in the case.
When staffing firms billed the defendants' firms, they did not receive payment, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The scheme also included submitting time cards containing false information to staffing firms.
Defendants defrauded staffing firms of $5.1 million, the U.S. Attorney's Office reported.
"The sentences handed down to these defendants appropriately reflect the seriousness of the specific crimes they committed," said FBI Denver Special Agent in Charge James Yacone. "The number of victims and amount of loss were significant. Hopefully, this will serve as a deterrent to others contemplating such crimes in the future."

The O-arm® Surgical Imaging System, now in use at Hartford Hospital, is a multi-dimensional surgical imaging platform that is optimized for use in spine, orthopaedic, and trauma-related surgeries. It provides real-time, intra-operative imaging of a patient's anatomy with high quality images and a large field-of-view in both two and three dimensions.
By integrating O-arm surgical imaging technology with Medtronic's StealthStation® surgical navigation systems, surgeons are able to perform less invasive procedures and confirm the precision of advanced surgical procedures before the patient leaves the OR.

Doctors at Hartford hospital have a new tool in place to help them detect and diagnose breast disease with confidence, making the experience more comfortable for nervous patients who may learn they have breast cancer.
The new tool is called the Sentinelle breast MRI coil. It is an advanced Breast MRI diagnostic system that produces impressive, high quality breast MRI images. Better images mean a better, sometimes earlier diagnosis. Many factors affect image quality, including the ability of the patient to stay as still as possible.
Sentinelle Vanguard® for GE
The Next Generation in Breast MRI
The new system's advanced ergonomic design is more comfortable, using positioning "wings" and sternum rest. A more comfortable patient moves less, and reduced motion provides better image quality.
"This advanced technology will not only offer better patient care, it will significantly improve the patient's experience during the MRI procedure", said Jinnah Phillips, M.D., Breast Imaging Radiologist at Hartford Hospital and Jefferson Radiology. "The coil's unique design assures our patients are comfortable during the procedure, while providing much greater access to the breast for proper positioning and biopsy into regions of the breast that were difficult to access in the past. The ability to adjust the positioning of each coil to the patient provides superior image quality, providing greater confidence in diagnosis."
It can be nerve-wracking to learn you need a biopsy. Hartford Hospital's Imaging Center experts believe having more comfortable and efficient equipment can make the whole experience a better one.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends MRI examinations in addition to annual mammograms for women with an especially high risk of breast cancer. Screenings are recommended for women with one of the following: a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation; a first-degree relative (parent, sibling or child) with the above gene mutation; exposure to chest-area radiation between the ages of 10 and 30; or a lifetime risk of breast cancer scored at 20%-25% or greater based on one of the several accepted risk assessment tools.
"Hartford Hospital is committed to providing the best in breast cancer detection and patient management," said Jinnah Phillips, M.D. "The Sentinelle breast coil is a powerful new tool for our physicians and patients".
