Zumba instructor is a great mom, friend says
KENNEBUNK, Maine The dance instructor accused of turning her Zumba studio into a place of prostitution was an honors high school student who attended college and ran dance classes for the local parks and recreation program. She hosted charity events benefiting Toys for Tots and breast cancer research.
That's why some who know Alexis Wright say she's the last person they thought would get caught up in a headline-grabbing scandal.
The prostitution case involving the bubbly fitness instructor and more than 100 accused clients has made international headlines from this seaside town of 10,000 known for its beaches, charming homes and Tom's of Maine toothpaste, as well as the nearby "Summer White House" while President George H.W. Bush was in office.
For local residents, the criminal case has been evolving in slow motion, with police releasing more names of accused clients every two weeks. So far, 39 men have been identified, and more names are being released Friday.
Police said Wright videotaped many of the encounters without her clients' knowledge and kept records suggesting the sex acts generated $150,000 over 18 months. Explicit sex videos also surfaced online.
While she is portrayed as Zumba instructor gone wild, those who know her say that there's another side than the one in the news coverage.
Andrew Scherzer, a longtime friend, said Wright is a great mother to her 7-year-old son and has lived a life full of Hallmark-style moments, with camping and canoeing trips and outings to the Portland Children's Museum and the New England Aquarium.
"If you were an outsider and spent time with her and her kid, the last thing you'd suspect is that she had this side business going on," said Scherzer, who went to high school and reconnected several years ago with the salsa-loving Wright, who attended concerts given by his Afro-Cuban band.
Others feel the same way.
Evelyn Barbour, who met Wright, 29, in the fifth grade and remained friendly through high school, said classmates at Mount Ararat High School were genuinely shocked by the charges.
"I thought she was a really nice person. I never, ever saw her be mean or rude to anyone. She was extremely kind," said Barbour, now a science teacher at the high school.
Wright was an honors student at Mount Ararat, where she played field hockey and participated in the concert band, wind ensemble and chamber singers.
She played clarinet and left a favorable impression on her band director.
"She was really nice kid, a sweet kid. She worked hard. She did what was expected. She blended in with lots of kids. She didn't stand out in any bad ways. She was just a nice, sweet kid," said Allen Graffam, the director.
After high school, Wright took classes at Keene State College and Southern Maine Community College before earning a natural sciences degree in 2010 from the University of Southern Maine's Lewiston-Auburn College.
Around the same time, the single mom was becoming known around Kennebunk for her Zumba classes, first offered in the auditorium of the Town Hall.
She hosted Zumba charity events for earthquake victims in Haiti, the Susan G. Komen foundation for breast cancer and Toys for Tots, among others. Those who attended her fitness classes remembered her as fun and energetic.
But police said there was more than Zumba going on after she opened a dance studio on Main Street, and later rented an office across the street.
Wright, of nearby Wells, has pleaded not guilty to 106 counts including prostitution and invasion of privacy for acts performed in her dance studio and in the rented office. Her business partner, insurance agent Mark Strong Sr., of Thomaston, pleaded not guilty to 59 misdemeanor counts.

Patient refused meds. Patient appears noncompliant. Patient did not follow up with care provider. If youre a nurse, youve likely written these words on a patients chart.
Often, there are logical explanations for patients decisions. A medication is refused because of a past drug reaction. Lack of insurance prevents someone from getting prescriptions filled or going to physical therapy. Transportation wasnt available, so follow-up visits are missed.
These situations are exactly why care coordination is becoming a popular healthcare delivery model. Nurses who work as care coordinators have the opportunity to collaborate with patients and providers to identify and overcome these types of barriers to care.
However, sometimes the barriers arent so obvious. Even when patients have the needed resources, they still may not achieve healthcare goals.
I once had a patient with multiple health issues, including diabetes. She had access to care and the means to cover costs, but she couldnt seem to manage her diet and blood sugar levels. One night she admitted that a friend, who also was diabetic, had taught her to "cheat and eat." After eating something high in carbohydrates or sugar, her friend had said, she could just increase her insulin dose.
Because this patient had comorbidities, she could have benefited from a nurse care coordinator. But she also would have benefited from motivational interviewing techniques. Motivational interviewing, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, is an empathetic and gentle way of counseling patients that helps identify positive reasons for behavioral changes. For example, rather than using the threat of possible lung cancer, a provider would ask the patient an open-ended question such as, "What is important to you?" The patient might talk excitedly about a grandchild and decide that quitting smoking would allow him or her to better keep up with an energetic toddler.
Care coordination could very well decrease healthcare costs and improve outcomes, but to meet its full potential it must include motivational interviewing techniques. In the end, only patients can choose to make the behavioral changes needed to improve their health. •

Experts from the state's West Nile virus response group met Wednesday to discuss Michigan's plan for fighting the mosquito-borne illness.
The state's plan focuses on four elements on communication, surveillance, personal protection, and mosquito control. Health officials continue to stress the importance of the elimination of breeding sites, such as standing water.
Michigan will continue its lab testing for human cases and the Michigan Department of Agriculture will provide mosquito identification training to local health officials.
Last year, Michigan had the second highest number of human cases in the nation. There were 644 cases with 51 resulting in death.

We reaffirm our Neutral recommendation on
Kimberly-Clark Corporation
) following the appraisal of its third quarter 2012 results. The
global supplier of health and hygiene products posted robust
earnings boosted by organic sales growth, cost savings and
reduced commodity costs. However, global macroeconomic
environment and foreign currency translations remain a
significant overhang.
Why the Reiteration?
Kimberly-Clark posted healthy third quarter 2012 earnings of
$1.34 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.5% and
the prior-year quarter's earnings by 6.4%. Bottom-line growth was
boosted by organic sales growth of 3% driven by volume growth,
improved pricing and strong performance internationally. Organic
sales growth and cost savings from the Kimberly-Clark's FORCE
(Focused On Reducing Costs Everywhere) program drove the
operating profit.
However, total sales declined 3% to $5.2 billion in third
quarter 2012, slightly lagging the Zacks Consensus Estimate by
2.2%. Unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations offset the
increase in sales volume and higher net selling prices.
Kimberly-Clark also raised its expectation of adjusted
earnings for full year 2012 to the range of $5.15 to $5.25 from
the previous guidance of $5.05 to $5.20 per share. Earnings per
share are expected to grow 7% to 9% from the prior-year levels.
The company raised the guidance as it expects stronger organic
sales growth, better cost savings, and reduced input cost in the
upcoming quarters.
Overall, we are encouraged by the company's leadership
position in several consumer product categories including
diapers, paper goods, health care products, and female personal
care. Moreover, Kimberly-Clark focuses on improving its products
through innovation in order to remain competitive and drive
Kimberly-Clark is also well-positioned overseas and derives
almost half of its revenues from outside the U.S. The company has
been investing in key emerging markets through K-C International
('KCI'), which includes businesses in Asia, Latin America, the
Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa, with a particular
emphasis on China, Brazil, India and Russia.
Moreover, we are optimistic about the company's restructuring
program as it improves underlying profitability and return on
invested capital of its consumer tissue and K-C Professional
segments, which have been facing declining profits for many
years. Further, management's initiatives to control costs through
its FORCE program bode well for future operating performance.
Further, the company will be exiting the diaper category in
Western and Central Europe, with the exception of the Italian
market and will be divesting or exiting some lower-margin
businesses in certain markets, mostly in the consumer tissue
segment in order to improve underlying profitability and focus
its resources on its strongest market positions and growth
opportunities. The company will also streamline its European
manufacturing footprint and administrative organization to align
its cost structure with these strategic decisions.
However, the company has been hit hard by sluggish U.S.
economy, debt crisis in Europe and volatility in input costs. The
company is also facing unprecedented volatility in the global
commodity, currency, and financial markets due to its exposure in
the international markets. The company expects economic
conditions to remain volatile during 2013.
Kimberly-Clark holds a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). Peers in the
sector include
Energizer Holdings Inc.
) and
Tupperware Brands Corp
), both of which carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

text: Thanks to the forum for suggesting this way of marking a milestone. I rode into work (23 miles), then 9 miles at noon, and then 28 miles home. Passed through orange orchards, 2 lakes, a horse farm, farmland, developments, industrial area, a racetrack, and 15 miles of Pacific Ocean coast. Rode on residential streets, back roads with no shoulders, a freeway, bike paths, dirt paths, and the Pacific Coast Highway. I met a lady in her 70's planning a bike tour next year, a co-worker, and a visitor from Pasadena. My wife and kids are certain that I'm nuts, but proud nevertheless. I had a great birthday.

This was my first week riding in the snow, and I was using with Nokian H106s. The tires were great, no problem at all with traction on any reasonable surface.
What's unreasonable, you wonder? I enountered something I never expected despite cruising the winter biking forum here and icebikes. I must have overlooked it somewhere.
Snow fell heavily during the day on Weds, and by the time I started home, pedestrians had clomped all over the MUPs I take for much of my journey home. That includes some *very* hilly parts that I normally work moderately hard to climb. I figured that my knobby/studded Nokians would allow me to make short work of them. Not so!
What I had not anticipated was that the ped footprints had created uncountable little hills and valleys which had frozen in place by the time I got to them. On the flats, this produced a very bumpy ride. On the hills, well, it was horrible -- nothing flat enough to get any real traction. Lots of sliding back, difficulty with balance, had to mash to make even very minor forward progress.
By the time I got home, I had really hurt my knees - I don't think I'll be riding while they recover. Anybody have any ideas how long tendonitis (self-diagnosed) takes to recover from?
Anyway, I learned my lesson -- I'll take the streets and avoid the footprints next time.

WASHOUGAL — Mason Knight was overcome with emotion.
He believed he and the rest of the Woodland Beavers could do it, could rally from 14 points down in the fourth quarter, but when it was actually over, when the Beavers had actually won the game, well, it was just too much for him.
"I couldn't help myself. It was the best feeling in the world. When we won, I just wanted to fall down and cry," Knight said.
The Woodland Beavers, 0-9 a year ago, rallied with two touchdowns in a 46-second span of the fourth quarter, then stunned Washougal in overtime Friday night for a 35-28 victory at Fishback Stadium in a key Class 2A Greater St. Helens League football game.
Nick Fuller outjumped the defender in the back of the end zone to haul in an 11-yard touchdown pass from Adam Shoup in the second overtime possession to give the Beavers their first lead of the game. Then Knight and Zach Falk had back-to-back defensive gems on Washougal's possession to preserve the win.
Woodland (4-3, 3-0 GSHL) handed Washougal (6-1, 1-1) its first loss of the season. The Beavers take on Hockinson, 2-0 in league, next week for what could be for the 2A GSHL championship.
"It just shows how much we've overcome since last season," Falk said. "Being down 14, we knew we were still in this. We knew we could battle back."
Both defenses held in the first overtime, setting up Fuller's game-winning grab.
"So many thoughts were going through my mind," Fuller said. "If I catch this, we win. But nothing could have been done without our linemen. Our whole team came closer together after halftime."
Shoup knew he had the 6-foot-4 Fuller as a target if he got in trouble. Just like much of the game, Shoup was running from Washougal pressure when he threw the ball toward the end zone.
"Nick's tall. I just got to get it up, get it there, and get it high," Shoup said. "Hopefully, he will jump up and get it."
That was just half the second-overtime battle for Woodland. Washougal had a chance, too. The Panthers drove to the 3-yard line but on a third-down play, Knight, a linebacker, blew through the offensive line and got a tackle-for-loss. On the next play, Falk stayed true to defend a screen pass and made an open-field tackle at the 4-yard line to end the game.
Shoup's 22-yard touchdown run made it 28-20 with nine minutes left in the game. The Beavers would then recover a pooch onside kick. Two plays later, Shoup hit Fuller on a 37-yard strike. Cy Whitmire tied it with a two-point run.
The Panthers just missed on two long field goal attempts in the fourth quarter.
Washougal jumped out to a 14-0 lead on a touchdown run from Sam O'Hara and a 74-yard TD pass from Colton Sullivan to Zach Boland.
After a Whitmire TD for Woodland, Caleb Howard broke free for a 34-yard touchdown to make it 20-7 Washougal in the first quarter.
Woodland defensive end Zach Lacey returned a fumble 64 yards to cut the margin to six points, but Sullivan responded with a 10-yard run to make it 28-14 Washougal at the half.
The Panthers would not score again.
"We didn't look too good in the first half," Shoup said. "We came into halftime and everybody realized that we had to put it in gear to play to our full potential. Our defense was in lockdown in the second half."
Woodland coach Mark Greenleaf called it a "heart-and-fist" win.
"Play together, like a fist, and we have to play with heart," he said.
His Beavers did that in the second half, and left Washougal with a victory and a classic comeback.

For months Cumgobbler has been yelling that he would be tasting sweet Romney Contard cum for the next four years. Instead he is gumming a thick black Hawaiiankok.
Who changed the sukking points? Americans need to know! This cum-coverup makes Watergate look like child's play!
Contrary to the current GOP narrative, Petraeus' Congressional testimony made clear that various intelligence sources at of the time of his initial briefing to Congress indicated that a protest arising in response to a similar one in Cairo was the impetus for the attack in Libya. While those initial assessments were later disproved, the Wall Street Journal has previously reported that this change in thinking began too late to alter Ambassador Susan Rice's talking points.
Earlier today -two months after the fact- John McCain (R-FailedAngryOldMan) claimed he "'knew it was a terrorist attack from the beginning." Yet the day after the attacks, Obama described the attack on the US embassy as an "act of terror." A fact pointed out during debate #2: Romney Drowns in GOP Kool-Aid.
In a rational world, Petraeus' testimony should have killed the "White House is incompetent/corrupt" narrative. That it hasn't just indicates how absurd wingnuts have become; indeed, Faux News is using their former hero Petraeus' testimony as evidence of an Obama cover up! What is the supposed rationale behind this this cover up? Some vague notion that the president would have lost the election if the people had known it was a terrorist attack? Haha, see above paragraph.
We have seen this time and again, the refusal among wingnuts to accept any data not conforming to their delusional worldview. Indeed: in the wake of a resounding electoral smackdown, they double down on their delusions and talk about "messaging" and related strategery.
I can't actually blame wingnuts for this: notions of "free will" notwithstanding, four decades of swallowing the garbage of Nixon, Reagan, Limbaugh, Gingrich, Faux News, Bushes 1&2 and their related apparatchiks make questioning the premises of conservative "thought" by conservatives nearly impossible. (Actually it goes back a lot further: a cursory examination of the current US electoral map indicates so-called "red states" are almost perfectly aligned with the Confederate [slave] states of 160 years ago.) They are all willfully...or perhaps necessarily...ignorant of history.
To quote Bill O'Reilly
"It's a changing country. The demographics are changing. It's not a traditional America anymore. And there are 50 percent of the voting public who want stuff. They want things. And who is going to give them things? President Obama. He knows it. And he ran on it."
"Whereby 20 years ago President Obama would have been roundly defeated by an establishment candidate like Mitt Romney, the white establishment is now the minority."
Yee haw, how the apologists attempt to spin the bottom line with claims that Obama was really that stupid. Bottom line is that Obama was not that stupid and the White House knew it was a planned terrorist attack on Stevens, and ?people within the white House changed the CIA report expressing such, and Susan Rice and fellow court jesters intentionally lied to the American public.

Why It's OK to Let Apps Make You a Better Person – Evan Selinger – Technology – The Atlantic
one theme emerges from the media coverage of people's relationships with our current set of technologies: Consumers want digital willpower. App designers in touch with the latest trends in behavioral modification–nudging, the quantified self, and gamification–and good old-fashioned financial incentive manipulation, are tackling weakness of will. They're harnessing the power of payouts, cognitive biases, social networking, and biofeedback. The quantified self becomes the programmable self.
the trend still has multiple interesting dimensions
Individuals are turning ever more aspects of their lives into managerial problems that require technological solutions. We have access to an ever-increasing array of free and inexpensive technologies that harness incredible computational power that effectively allows us to self-police behavior everywhere we go. As pervasiveness expands, so does trust.
Some embrace networked, data-driven lives and are comfortable volunteering embarrassing, real time information about what we're doing, whom we're doing it with, and how we feel about our monitored activities.
Put it all together and we can see that our conception of what it means to be human has become "design space." We're now Humanity 2.0, primed for optimization through commercial upgrades. And today's apps are more harbinger than endpoint.
philosophers have had much to say about the enticing and seemingly inevitable dispersion of technological mental prosthetic that promise to substitute or enhance some of our motivational powers.
beyond the practical issues lie a constellation of central ethical concerns.
they should cause us to pause as we think about a possible future that significantly increases the scale and effectiveness of willpower-enhancing apps. Let's call this hypothetical future Digital Willpower World and characterize the ethical traps we're about to discuss as potential general pitfalls
it is antithetical to the ideal of " resolute choice." Some may find the norm overly perfectionist, Spartan, or puritanical. However, it is not uncommon for folks to defend the idea that mature adults should strive to develop internal willpower strong enough to avoid external temptations, whatever they are, and wherever they are encountered.
In part, resolute choosing is prized out of concern for consistency, as some worry that lapse of willpower in any context indicates a generally weak character.
Fragmented selves behave one way while under the influence of digital willpower, but another when making decisions without such assistance. In these instances, inconsistent preferences are exhibited and we risk underestimating the extent of our technological dependency.
It simply means that when it comes to digital willpower, we should be on our guard to avoid confusing situational with integrated behaviors.
the problem of inauthenticity, a staple of the neuroethics debates, might arise. People might start asking themselves: Has the problem of fragmentation gone away only because devices are choreographing our behavior so powerfully that we are no longer in touch with our so-called real selves — the selves who used to exist before Digital Willpower World was formed?
Infantalized subjects are morally lazy, quick to have others take responsibility for their welfare. They do not view the capacity to assume personal responsibility for selecting means and ends as a fundamental life goal that validates the effort required to remain committed to the ongoing project of maintaining willpower and self-control.
Michael Sandel's Atlantic essay, "The Case Against Perfection." He notes that technological enhancement can diminish people's sense of achievement when their accomplishments become attributable to human-technology systems and not an individual's use of human agency.
Borgmann worries that this environment, which habituates us to be on auto-pilot and delegate deliberation, threatens to harm the powers of reason, the most central component of willpower (according to the rationalist tradition).
In several books, including Technology and the Character of Contemporary Life, he expresses concern about technologies that seem to enhance willpower but only do so through distraction. Borgmann's paradigmatic example of the non-distracted, focally centered person is a serious runner. This person finds the practice of running maximally fulfilling, replete with the rewarding "flow" that can only comes when mind/body and means/ends are unified, while skill gets pushed to the limit.
Perhaps the very conception of a resolute self was flawed. What if, as psychologist Roy Baumeister suggests, willpower is more "staple of folk psychology" than real way of thinking about our brain processes?
novel approaches suggest the will is a flexible mesh of different capacities and cognitive mechanisms that can expand and contract, depending on the agent's particular setting and needs. Contrary to the traditional view that identifies the unified and cognitively transparent self as the source of willed actions, the new picture embraces a rather diffused, extended, and opaque self who is often guided by irrational trains of thought. What actually keeps the self and its will together are the given boundaries offered by biology, a coherent self narrative created by shared memories and experiences, and society. If this view of the will as an expa
nding and contracting system with porous and dynamic boundaries is correct, then it might seem that the new motivating technologies and devices can only increase our reach and further empower our willing selves.
"It's a mistake to think of the will as some interior faculty that belongs to an individual–the thing that pushes the motor control processes that cause my action," Gallagher says. "Rather, the will is both embodied and embedded: social and physical environment enhance or impoverish our ability to decide and carry out our intentions; often our intentions themselves are shaped by social and physical aspects of the environment."
It makes perfect sense to think of the will as something that can be supported or assisted by technology. Technologies, like environments and institutions can facilitate action or block it. Imagine I have the inclination to go to a concert. If I can get my ticket by pressing some buttons on my iPhone, I find myself going to the concert. If I have to fill out an application form and carry it to a location several miles away and wait in line to pick up my ticket, then forget it.
Perhaps the best way forward is to put a digital spin on the Socratic dictum of knowing myself and submit to the new freedom: the freedom of consuming digital willpower to guide me past the sirens.

Additional Information
More information about this loan

Caja Señor de Luren identifies these clients through a unique scoring system that evaluates their repayment capacity based on socio-economic and demographic indicators. The goal is to expand access to credit to vulnerable borrowers, empowering them to improve their income and living conditions.
About Caja Rural Señor de LurenCaja Rural Señor de Luren is a microfinance institution based in Ica in southern Peru that primarily promotes the development of the country's agricultural sector through lending. Today, it also offers credit for consumers, microenterprises and housing improvements, and has expanded its financial services to promote micro-savings and provide micro-insurance. This institution has been instrumental in helping borrowers recover from the devastating earthquake in the Ica region in 2007, and works with Peru's National Bank to reach some of the poorest and most remote microfinance clients in the country.

PANEL – Tokyo Electric Power Co. has decided to scrap its plan to raise electricity charges 10 to 15 percent from next April amid increasingly harsh criticism by government officials and the public, company sources said Saturday.
Tepco, which operates the crisis-hit Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, had planned to raise charges to partly offset the trillions of yen it has to shell out in compensation payments over damages from the nuclear accident.
The utility has already informed its creditor banks about its U-turn, the sources said. But Tepco may propose a smaller increase in charges after regular inspections begin at more of its nuclear reactors currently in service, which will drive up power generation costs due to increased use of fossil fuel.
Tepco had informally told a government committee that has been assessing the utility's assets and costs about the plan to raise charges by up to 15 percent for three years.
But committee members decided they would not allow Tepco to hike electricity charges unless it considered cost-cutting measures, such as reducing pension payments and employees' salaries.

Your company wants to you to determine if 3 volts from the photovoltaic cell is sufficient to drive the load R1(which is a circuit that sends a signal to the optical nerve)unfortunately for you .you do not have any photovoltaic cells or voltage sources to test this circuit. You do have at your disposal ONE current source (and your savvy knowledge from BME 253).

Echo and Narcissus
Liriope in Echo and Narcissus
Liriope is Narcissus' mother. Her only part the entire story is to ask Tiresias if her son will live a long life. She doesn't appear in any other myths that we know of either. She is one of those mysterious characters who exist only as plot-movers. The literary world is full of such lost souls. Too bad, so sad, moving on.

Let's be honest—waiting for your nails to dry can seem like an eternity. Even worse? Your seemingly dry mani ending up in a crinkled mess. Luckily, Incoco®'s easy-to-use nail polish strips create a flawless manicure without worrying about smudging or streaking. This perfect-for-spring collection features three chic designs: Freshly Picked, a white base color accented with adorable pink flowers, Pink Parasol, a chic pink print, and Spring Vines, an aqua blue base coat with a nifty art deco pattern. Best of all, the strips last up to two weeks and come off with regular polish remover.
I have seen these before and always wanted to use them. My design was different and since I am not good at painting designs of my own these were fun to use to create a different look. They don't stay on too long especially if you work with your hands alot but for an event or a weekend out they definitely do the job.4
I am sure this is a great product for girls a bit younger. I think the design is too young for me, and it isn't my style at all. I think it might be a little more "fun" if the designs were a little more modern. I received the Freshly Picked color and it reminds me of tacky wallpaper...1
I'm a huge fan of shellac manicures. I love that the drying time is reduced to hardly anything and I can walk out of a nail salon and not have to worry about smudging my nails. I was excited to see this product in my box because I had seen them around but never tried them. Honestly, i think I would rather stick to shellac than these stickers. I prefer solid colors over patterns and should probably leave the nail work to the professionals :)3
These are perfect if you plan on going somewhere and not having time to do your nails. Just follow the easy directions and they should stay on for almost a week. Very durable unless you are working with harsh chemicals or abrasive materials (like any polish) but holds up well to weathering.5

What's Wrong with Human Resources?
In the world of business, there are some people who still understand what the lasting and deleterious effects of ideologically-driven social policies have been on companies across America and its competitiveness in general: The problem goes back to decisions made in the '70s by the U.S. government, which was trying to put a Band-Aid on a discrimination problem. As a result, human resources, initially designed | Read More »

Erosion of Professional Behaviors in Physical Therapist Students
Carey, James R., Ness, Kirsten K., Journal of Physical Therapy Education
Developing professionalism in students is an important goal of all physical therapist education programs. We assert that, in some students, consumerism undermines the development of professionalism. A commonality among all health care professions in defining professionalism is human respect. We cite examples of how student respect for faculty is ailing. We expose this concern because we believe that awareness of the problem is an important step in correcting it, and we claim that students, faculty, the profession, and patients all stand to gain.
Key Words: Consumerism, Physical therapist education, Professional behaviors, Student.
Graduate professional education in health care includes not only the learning of specialized knowledge and skills but also the acculturation of the values, beliefs, and attitudes of that profession. As with many health care professions, professionalization in physical therapy commences with student matriculation into the professional education program. Traditionally, the professional curriculum includes course work that addresses this topic; however, this may not be sufficient to satisfactorily prepare today's students for clinical practice. In some students, we observe that professionalism is being subverted by a growing trend toward consumerism, and we believe that this problem jeopardizes not only their own professional competence but the effectiveness of faculty as well. The purpose of this article is to describe what we believe are conflicting student behaviors between professionalism and consumerism, with the hope that increased awareness by all will correct the problem.
For this article, we define professionalism as the display of attitudes and behaviors that portray the traits endeared by a specialized discipline of study and practice. The expected attitudes and behaviors are similar in many health care professions. For pharmacy, Hill1 described these traits as specialized knowledge and skills, self-improvement, service orientation, pride in profession, covenantal relationship with the client, creativity, trustworthiness, accountability, ethical behavior, and leadership. For medicine, Cohen2 emphasized altruism, respect, compassion, honesty, and integrity. For occupational therapy, Bossers et al3 created a schemata of professionalism that included such behaviors as conflict resolution, feedback, respect, diplomacy, role negotiation, value contribution, and cooperation.
Malone4 described professionalism in nursing as "a physical, mental and emotional stretch that moves the nurse from the depths of human emotional reactions of attraction and rejection to the pinnacle of ability to deliver a higher level of quality care for each and every patient." She likened professionalism to a muscle that gets stronger with use and atrophies with disuse. She encouraged all to "stretch" their "professionalism muscle" consciously, with both their patients and with each other. She emphasized that the core meaning of health care is utter respect for all human beings, no matter their status in life.
In physical therapy, May et al5 have identified a repertoire of desirable student abilities, or "generic abilities," that form the professional behaviors expected of professional (entry-level) practitioners. They defined professionalism as the ability to exhibit appropriate professional conduct and to represent the profession well. At the most basic level, a student who exhibits professional behavior demonstrates honesty, courage, and continuous regard for all.
Thus, the attitudes and behavioral characteristics that constitute professionalism among the health care professions are multiple, but at the very core, whether explicit or implicit, is a common theme-human respect The tendency to respect and regard others in action and in words may be inborn in students who choose a health care profession; however, the skill to display this ability must be developed and practiced. …

Nonna's — more than a place to eat
For owner Avis Scaramucci, Nonna's Euro-American Ristorante & Bar in Bricktown is more than a place to eat.
It is a full experience in the middle of Oklahoma City's vibrant entertainment district, with food made with care from decades-old family recipes and freshly grown produce straight from her personal greenhouses.
Everything about Nonna's seems to reflect old world Italy, from the décor to the homemade pastries and cakes to the traditional Italian pasta dishes with a unique twist.
The restaurant serves meatballs, only ground from a prime tenderloin and Italian sausage blend and pairs them with a northeastern-influenced sauce that could come right out of New York.
Customers looking for a standard Italian dish such as lasagna will be satisfied, but those wanting more will appreciate the fresh mild mushrooms that give the dish a little extra. The standard insalata caprese is made with tomatoes and herbs grown at Scaramucci's Cedar Spring Farms, and the whole-milk mozzarella is flown in from the East Coast.
"There is no way to have fresh produce that is truly fresh unless you grow it yourself," she said. "We harvest our produce every day for that day's use. We don't skimp corners; we use real butter and real whole cream. It is one step above and beyond that our customers truly appreciate."
At lunch, Scaramucci serves some of the same soups, salads and quiche she had when her restaurant was in south Oklahoma City and served a light lunch in addition to her bakery and gift store, The Painted Door. "Back then, I had a room that could fit 25 people, and my dream was to fill that room with lunch business," she said.
Now in a 22,000-square-foot building in the heart of Bricktown with her gift store, bakery, restaurant, bar and outdoor second-floor patio, Scaramucci says she still gives personal attention to all aspects of her business.
"A lot of the recipes found on the menu are things my kids grew up on," she said.
Nonna's is open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday-Saturday and serves entrees ranging in price from $11 for the quiche lorraine and salad to $13.95 for a build-your-own-pasta option.
Dinner is served from 5 to 9 p.m. Monday and Tuesday and until 10 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday, and prices for entrees range from $17 for the pasta primavera to $42 for the prime New York strip steak.
The bakery is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day with a full selection of homemade cookies, cakes, pies, custards and artisanal cheeses.

EKPHRASIS: A Monthly Book Club About Art
For reservations, or to order a lunch from the Museum's café, call 334.240.4365.
Rembrandt's Eyes by Simon Schama
August 12, 2015, Noon
This dazzling, unconventional biography shows us why, more than three centuries after his death, Rembrandt continues to exert such a hold on our imagination. Deeply familiar to us through his enigmatic self-portraits, few facts are known about the Leiden miller's son who tasted brief fame before facing financial ruin (he was even forced to sell his beloved wife Saskia's grave). The true biography of Rembrandt, as Simon Schama demonstrates, is to be discovered in his pictures. Interweaving of seventeenth-century Holland, Schama allows us to see Rembrandt in a completely fresh and original way.
The Forest Lover by Susan Vreeland
September 9, 2015, Noon
In her acclaimed novels, Susan Vreeland has given us portraits of painting and life that are as dazzling as their artistic subjects. Now, in The Forest Lover, she traces the courageous life and career of Emily Carr, who more than Georgia O'Keeffe or Frida Kahlo blazed a path for modern women artists. Overcoming the confines of Victorian culture, Carr became a major force in modern art by capturing an untamed British Columbia and its indigenous peoples just before industrialization changed them forever. From illegal potlatches in tribal communities to artists studios in pre World War I Paris, Vreeland tells her story with gusto and suspense, giving us a glorious novel that will appeal to lovers of art, native cultures, and lush historical fiction.
October 14, 2015, Noon
Wolfe's style has never been more dazzling, his wit never more keen. He addresses the scope of Modern Art, from its founding days as Abstract Expressionism through its transformations to Pop, Op, Minimal, and Conceptual. This is Tom Wolfe "at his most clever, amusing, and irreverent" (San Francisco Chronicle).
The Yellow House: Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Nine Turbulent Weeks in Arles by Martin Gayford
November 18, 2015, Noon
This chronicle of the two months in 1888 when Paul Gauguin shared a house in France with Vincent Van Gogh describes not only how these two hallowed artists painted and exchanged ideas, but also the texture of their everyday lives. Includes 60 B&W reproductions of the artists' paintings and drawings from the period.
The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris by David McCullough
January 13, 2016, Noon
The Greater Journey is the enthralling, inspiring—and until now, untold—story of the adventurous American artists, writers, doctors, politicians, architects, and others of high aspiration who set off for Paris in the years between 1830 and 1900, ambitious to excel in their work.
After risking the hazardous journey across the Atlantic, these Americans embarked on a greater journey in the City of Light. Most had never left home, never experienced a different culture. None had any guarantee of success. That they achieved so much for themselves and their country profoundly altered American history. As David McCullough writes, "Not all pioneers went west." Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor in America, was one of this intrepid band. Another was Charles Sumner, who enrolled at the Sorbonne because of a burning desire to know more about everything. There he saw black students with the same ambition he had, and when he returned home, he would become the most powerful, unyielding voice for abolition in the U.S. Senate, almost at the cost of his life.
The Lady in Gold: The Extraordinary Tale of Gustav Klimt's Masterpiece, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer by Anne-Marie O'Connor
February 10, 2016, Noon
Contributor to the Washington Post Anne-Marie O'Connor brilliantly regales us with the galvanizing story of Gustav Klimt's 1907 masterpiece—the breathtaking portrait of a Viennese Jewish socialite, Adele Bloch-Bauer. The celebrated painting, stolen by Nazis during World War II, subsequently became the subject of a decade-long dispute between her heirs and the Austrian government.
When the U.S. Supreme Court became involved in the case, its decision had profound ramifications in the art world. Expertly researched, masterfully told, The Lady in Gold is at once a stunning depiction of fin-de siècle Vienna, a riveting tale of Nazi war crimes, and a fascinating glimpse into the high-stakes workings of the contemporary art world.
Confessions of An Art Addict by Peggy Guggenheim
March 9, 2016, Noon
A patron of art since the 1930s, Peggy Guggenheim, in a candid self-portrait, provides an insider's view of the early days of modern art, with revealing accounts of her eccentric wealthy family, her personal and professional relationships, and often surprising portrayals of the artists themselves. Here is a book that captures a valuable chapter in the history of modern art, as well as the spirit of one of its greatest advocates.
Strapless: John Singer Sargent and the Fall of Madame X by Deborah Davis
April 13, 2016, Noon
The subject of John Singer Sargent's most famous painting was twenty-three-year-old New Orleans Creole Virginie Gautreau, who moved to Paris and quickly became the "it girl" of her day. A relative unknown at the time, Sargent won the commission to paint her; the two must have recognized in each other a like-minded hunger for fame.
Unveiled at the 1884 Paris Salon, Gautreau's portrait generated the attention she craved-but it led to infamy rather than stardom. Sargent had painted one strap of Gautreau's dress dangling from her shoulder, suggesting either the prelude to or the aftermath of sex. Her reputation irreparably damaged, Gautreau retired from public life, destroying all the mirrors in her home.
Leonardo and the Last Supper by Ross King
May 11, 2016, Noon
In 1495, Leonardo da Vinci began what would become one of history's most influential works of art—The Last Supper. After a decade at the court of Lodovico Sforza, the duke of Milan, Leonardo was at a low point: at forty-three, he had failed, despite a number of prestigious commissions, to complete anything that truly fulfilled his astonishing promise. His latest failure was a giant bronze horse to honor Sforza's father, made with material expropriated by the military. The commission to paint The Last Supper was a small compensation, and his odds of completing it weren't promising: he hadn't worked on such a large painting and had no experience in the standard mural medium of fresco.

POIGNANT YET UNPUTDOWNABLEOnce again Dalrymple enthralls and enlightens us through his in depth research, vivid description and intelligent and honest analysis. The amount of research and effort that has gone into writing this book is commendable and i salute Dalrymple for undertaking the mammoth work. It is perhaps the first account of the mutiny from the Indian point of view. Even though it does not give us the entire story and centres round the part played by bahadur shah zafar, the reader can very well piece together the complete picture. Zafar may have been incompetent and spineless but as the descendant of a grea… (Expand)

brilliant,riveting and brutally honest..The Last Mughal - A brilliant portray of 1857.. A must recommended for all who are interested in history of India... A elaborate and heart wrenching depiction of Delhi of 1857, of what could have been and should have been, of rebel atrocities and British vengeance.. Of a king of a decaying dynasty who did all he could only to be made a villain in the history and also to a never told story of Hindu-Muslim unity where in an army of high caste Hindus rallied to revive the Mughal dynasty fighting side by side Muslim brothers.. Simply riveting and brilliantly written .. Hats off William Dalrymple..… (Expand)

RFall of Mughaql empireI am a layman and find the book very absorbing. It is a most detailed account of 1857 India. It can be used as a reference book as well. Undoubtedly the author is a very learned person and a master story teller.

Must for History LoversThe book gives the detailed information avout the pre and post analysis of the revolt of 1857 its causes and effect, esp from the mughal and sepoys side, for the very first time the views of the revolt from the side of sepoys was presented by the author, in which he tries to explain the agony of the last mughal ruler and his court before and after 1857, the spread of the revolt and change in the british policies pre and post 1857.

A masterpiece !!The book is perfect example of an exhaustive research based historical review of an event that changed the nation and probably brought in sense of nationalism for the first time ever in people of this land. Its a sheer emotionally charged masterpiece which lets you actually visualize the life and events in Delhi in 1857. You just can't stop empathizing with the "last Mughal". Had this book been not there I would have had the conventional schema about this period based on my crude knowledge gained via school history. A must read for history lovers !


text: I work at the shelter. Everyday I see so many animals who need someone to love them. I have no idea what possessed me the one day last summer to say I would take this little bully puppy (the white one in the photo) home to socialize her for "a couple of weeks". Well, the name Princess Diana, though cute, seemed like a mouthful so Aiden, my 4-year-old grandson & I decided to call her DD for short. I took DD to Linda's puppy training classes & she did well. She managed to fit in with our 6-year-old lab, Maddie & 2 year-old pit mix, Simone. Despite her learning to jump the fence, she's been an awesome dog & we adopted her. Though some days when Aiden is just fed up with her inquisitive puppy ways he asks "is DD going back?" Nope, we love her.

Funny, I just had this discussion on a UNIX ng. In my view, a Firewall does
not just mean packet filter. A firewall can be made up of one or more
components that can block or filter protocol traffic between two networks.
OReilly's "Building Internet Firewalls" says a firewall is "A component or
set of components that restricts access between a protected network and the
Internet." So a NAT can be as much part of a firewall implementation as the
packet filter. By this definition, a firewall can contain either a packet
filter or NAT or both (or other current or future component.)
I think the confusion is what type of NAT are we talking about - simple NAT
or NAT with stateful inspection? More UNIX people think of NAT in terms of
a simple NAT on a router. Most Windows people are familiar with stateful
NATs such as the one in w2k's RRAS and Winroute, etc. Both of these
products, for example, are secure. By default they will not allow any
traffic to flow passed the NAT router unless you define a port map to allow
it. IMO, they do protect the LAN behind them. How do they not? Any
examples? Specific weaknesses in an implementation (I don't know of any in
winroute's or RRAS NAT off top of my head, but I am sure they exist) is
different. However the concept is as strong as you can get.
They do not, however, provide any filtering or protection for the public
interface/IP they are NATing. For this, you will still need a packet
filter/firewall. So when you say "a NAT has nothing to do with security but
exists to provide more IP addresses", I would tend to disagree with the
first part because many people are using stateful NAT for both those
reasons - security and public IP sharing. Look forward to your reply. I
would like to know if NAT with stateful inspection can be compromised as we
should all be aware of this.

Update on Jose AnibalJosé has decided to continue working with loans because he believes that they are very necessary in order to have the money he needs for his agricultural work. He's currently starting a new planting cycle and needs to buy manure, seeds and pay for day laborers, among other expenses he has. This new loan will be very useful for him.
His experience with his previous loan was positive because it provided what he needed at the time so that his crop yield would be good. His family has been fed and everyone lives well at home; the children continue in school and he's made some improvements to parts of his house thanks to it.
Su experiencia con el anterior prestamo, fue positiva, ya que le ha generado en su momento lo necesario para que su cultivo presentara una buena cosecha, de la cual su familia se ha alimentado, todos se mantienen bien en su hogar, sus hijos siguen en la escuela, ha mejorado algunas partes de la vivienda.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.
