Bachelor of Science in Health Science (Pre Med)
Our Program Practicum Experience Faculty Job Outlook
Get an advanced degree in health science. Why settle for a general degree in science, when you can begin to explore your health career options with a Bachelor of Science in Health Science (BSHS)?
Blending a strong foundation in laboratory science with the specialization available in healthcare, you can explore a number of possible career fields at the same time, in preparation for further graduate study including medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, clinical laboratory sciences, nuclear medicine technology, physician's assistant, veterinary medicine, podiatric medicine, or optometry. The BSHS is considered a pre-med degree.
If you want to get started with your career right after graduation, you'll be ready for employment in medical research, medical sciences, insurance, public health, or community agencies, working, for example, as a health professional assistant, medical technician, or pharmaceutical sales representative. Either way, the Mercy College BSHS will give you tremendous opportunities to explore the dynamic field of health care.
Our Program
The Bachelor of Science in Health Science degree prepares students for graduate study in the health sciences. Our 125-credit hour program prepares you for a specialized introduction to the health science field. There are three tracks to choose from:
Track One is designed for first-time college students wanting to complete a bachelor's degree in the health sciences.
Track Two is designed for candidates who already hold an associate of science degree in a health science and wish to enhance their career by expanding their academic preparation.
Track Three is designed for students who wish to obtain both their bachelor of health sciences degree and certification in clinical laboratory sciences from Mercy College.
How to Apply
College Admission First
Program Admission Second
The program chair will begin reviewing completed files by the program admission deadline.
Practicum Experience
This program will offer a unique opportunity to shadow twice in areas of personal interest in the second and third year of the program (called a practicum) along side professionals at Mercy Medical Center, Des Moines University or other healthcare and science laboratories in central Iowa that match your interests. Your program chair and academic advisor will assist in making these arrangements. The practicum experience is designed to give the student hands-on insight into contemporary careers in the health sciences.
Our full-time Ph.D. faculty will team up with specialists in specific health science fields from surrounding health care and science institutions to provide a comprehensive learning experience for students in this program. You will have an opportunity to learn from health care specialists and scientists with expertise and clinical and/or bench experience in their field of study.
Job Outlook
A BSHS degree provides a solid introduction to the health science field and is considered a pre-med degree. Completing a health science degree can provide a foundation for pursuing advanced health science degrees, or it can lead directly to an entry-level position in healthcare or bioscience.

Morning MoneyBeat Asia: Nothing But Question Marks for Japan
Editor's Note: Welcome to Morning MoneyBeat Asia, a new email newsletter to prepare readers for the Asia trading day. MoneyBeat – and this newsletter – will track the biggest developments in finance, deal-making and markets around the world. Please, chime in and drop us a line here.We value your feedback.
Market Snap: At the New York Close: S&P 500 down 0.3% at 1651. DJIA down 0.1% at 15295. Nasdaq Comp down 0.1% at 3459. Treasury yields down slightly; 10-year at 2.02%. Nymex crude down 0.03% at $94.25. Gold up 1.8% at $1,392/ounce.
How We Got Here: U.S. traders stanched the bleeding. After the beating in Japan, U.S. stocks opened weaker, with the Dow quickly falling 127 points. But the selling didn't last long, as traders apparently realized the Fed "for now" is merely talking, not tapering, and "for now" is all that matters. By noon in New York, the index was flat, and it closed only slightly lower.
What happens in Japan Friday is the bigger question. It's not just the question of whether the Nikkei rebounds from Thursday's 7% slide, one of the largest one-day drops in its history. If the futures market is any guide, the Nikkei's going to fall hard again. After a 40% jump just this year, and more than 70% since Shinzo Abe began his campaign for prime minister, some profit taking isn't any surprise.
The bigger question revolved around Abenomics. The moves in Japanese equities were coming from a suppressed base. "The next few months will be much harder going," Capital Economics' Julian Jessop wrote. "The boost to Japanese equities from a weaker yen has probably runs its course."
Abenomics sparked a massive buying spree (or selling spree, in the case of the yen). But Japanese equities can no longer be considered cheap compared to their peers, and any benefit from a cheaper yen to exporters is going to be counteracted by more expensive imports. While Abenomics includes the "right mix" of policy levers, Jessop said, "there are still a great many things that can go wrong."
What You Missed Overnight
U.S. Stocks Shake Off Global Rout: Stocks in the U.S. shook off a steep global selloff that began with a 7.3% plunge in Japan's stock market.
SAC Executives Subpoenaed: Three senior executives at SAC Capital, including the firm's president and chief compliance officer, received subpoenas as part of the government's insider-trading investigation.
Google Copies Amazon's Playbook: Google increasingly appears to be following Amazon's lead, and the latest example involves cable ties, AC-DC adapters, radiation detectors and the like.
ISS Employee Exchanged Information for Concert Tickets: Institutional Shareholder Services agreed to pay a $300,000 penalty to settle charges that an employee leaked confidential information on proxy votes for roughly five years.
Bloomberg Citigroup Launch Chat Service: Bloomberg unveiled a new chat service for foreign-exchange traders across various banks, developed in collaboration with Citigroup.
From The Wall Street Journal Asia
Bangladesh Collapse Blamed on Shoddy Materials: A government panel found substandard building materials among the reasons for a factory building collapse outside Dhaka last month that killed more than 1,100 people.
China Buyers Lighten Up on Japanese-Car Grudge: Nine months after a dispute over a group of uninhabited islands flared into anti-Japanese riots in China, diplomatic ties remain tense but trade between the two countries is rebounding.
What China's VIP Shoppers Want: What do rich Chinese want now? Luxury-goods companies are trying everything from auctions to practical advice on fashion to draw big spenders.
Japanese Man Becomes Oldest to Mount Everest: An 80-year-old Japanese man who began the year with his fourth heart operation became the oldest conqueror of Mount Everest.
Chinese Solar Firms Try to Avoid EU Tariffs: Solar-panel makers in China are open to raising prices and limiting exports to the European Union as a way to avoid steep trade tariffs.

'Key Reversals' Spread to Halt Global Rally: Technicians will say that one bad day can't stop a long-term uptrend, but the stunning reversal in Japan's stock market overnight could come pretty close.

Dewease Lands Heffner Racing Seat
HELLERTOWN, Pa. – Lance Dewease has been named lead driver of Heffner Racing Enterprise's Lelands.com-sponsored No. 27 sprint-car for the upcoming season.
The three-time National Open winner's first race for the team will be the All Star Circuit of Champion third annual Winter Freeze on Feb. 7 at Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Ga.
The team will continue on to Florida to compete with the All Stars at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Fla., Feb. 8-9, and Volusia Speedway Park near Barberville, Fla., on Feb. 13-14.
The team will remain in Barberville to compete against the World of Outlaws Feb. 15-17 for the UNOH DIRTcar Nationals.
Dewease and crew will then return north for the start of the Central Pennsylvania racing season, following a schedule similar to last year, running local events, the All Stars Eastern Series, select World of Outlaw shows and several shows in the Midwest and the Knoxville Nationals and Knoxville 360 Nationals.
"Mike Heffner [team owner] has done some wonderful things for our sport and Heffner Racing is a top notch team that's been real competitive. I am excited about joining the team and look forward to continuing their winning ways right out of the box," said Dewease.
Dewease, who suffered a broken spine from a crash late in the 2011 season, replaces driver Daryn Pittman. Pittman piloted the No. 27 for three seasons before returning to the World of Outlaw circuit as a member of Kasey Kahne Racing in 2013.
"Lance is a natural fit for our team. He knows the car, knows the engine builder and will be bringing his mechanic along, so there won't be any big changes or too many different things to adapt to. Plus, Lance is a fan favorite and well respected in the sport, which is very important to me," said Heffner.
Though he has won nearly 300 races in his career, Dewease admits that the past year was "off" for him.
"It took time to get back to race mode after my injury; the year started a little slowly. But we got our speed back at the end of the year, ran well at Knoxville and now my goal is simply to be very competitive and win as much as we can," said Dewease.

Colby Blueberg and one big inning were enough for the Nevada Wolf Pack to beat the Pacific Tigers 8-4 on Tuesday in Stockton, Calif.
The Wolf Pack has now won three of its last four games to improve to 5-7. Pacific fell to 7-7.
Blueberg, who earned the win (2-0), pitched 3.2 innings of scoreless relief as the Pack scored five runs in the seventh inning. Blueberg, a 6-foot right-hander, has been arguably the Wolf Pack's best pitcher this season. The junior allowed just one hit while striking out three in shutting down the Tigers.
Blueberg, who threw 27 of his 37 pitches on Tuesday for strikes, now leads the Wolf Pack with a 0.84 earned run average over eight appearances and 10.2 innings. Opponents are also hitting just .114 against him.
Pacific took a 4-3 lead with three runs in the fifth inning off Pack reliever Evan McMahan. Gio Brusa's two-run double off McMahan keyed the inning for the Tigers.
The Wolf Pack, though, broke the game open in the seventh inning off Pacific reliever Jason Taasaas. Trenton Brooks, a freshman, singled in Jordan Devencenzi as the Pack tied the game at 4-4. Taasaas then walked Scott Kaplan and Jay Anderson to load the bases with two outs. Justin Bridgman, another freshman, then cleared the bases with a double, giving the Pack a 7-4 lead. Kyle Hunt closed out the scoring in the inning with a RBI single.
Hunt was 1-for-4 with two runs scored and one RBI. The leadoff hitter leads the Wolf Pack in hitting at .343 as well as on base percentage at .442. Meyer had two hits and is second on the team in hitting at .340.
Tyler Wells started for the Pack and allowed one run in two innings while striking out five. Adam Whitt followed Blueberg and pitched a scoreless ninth inning.
Taasaas allowed three hits, two walks and five runs in two-thirds of an inning and suffered the loss (0-2).
The Pack took a 1-0 lead in the first as Pacific starter Jordan Gonzalez walked the first three hitters. Hunt walked, stole second and scored on a double play grounder by Devencenzi for the early lead. The Wolf Pack took a 3-1 lead with two runs in the fourth inning as Bridgman and Meyer had RBI singles.
Bridgman and Brooks each had two hits.

This Saturday, July 26, 2014, the Motor City Jazz Club and Midwest Persian Tabby Fanciers Cat Fanciers Association clubs will present their CFA All-Breed cat show from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Taylor Sportsplex, 13333 Telegraph Road, in Taylor, Michigan. Admission is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors, and $4 for students. Children under age 12 will be admitted free of charge. Personnel for the one-day show includes show mangers Megan Hiemstra and Lorna Friemoth, vendor coordinator Kevin Mathis, entry clerk Judy Hudgens, and judges Rachel Anger, Kathy Calhoun, Gene Darrah, Diana Doernberg, Anne Mathis, John Hiemstra, and Loretta Baugh.
The seven judges will evaluate dozens of different breeds, including Siamese, Russian Blues, Ragdolls, Persians, Maine Coons, Exotics, Devon Rexes, and many more. In addition to championship animals, there will be two specialty rings for long-haired and short-haired cats, as well as an evaluation for household pets.
Here are some things to keep in mind when visiting the show:
- Please don't handle or pet the cats without permission. Cat shows are places where many cats come in contact with each other. People can spread diseases from one cat to another simply by touch. As a result, many breeders do not allow strangers to handle their cats. In addition, the cats at the show are evaluated in part on their grooming, and handling them could cost them points in the ring.
- Please don't take offense if the participants at the show are distracted or seem reluctant to talk. All the people in the cat fancy clubs love cats, and they love to talk about them. However, they may be preparing their cats for showing in the ring, and may not have time to talk until their cat has shown.
- In the same vein, please avoid boisterous activity and loud noises (running and yelling, for instance). The cats in the show are in an unfamiliar environment and can get pretty stressed by noise and rapid motion. That stress can hurt their chances in the ring. Breeders also have to be listening for the announcements calling their cats to the ring.
- Enjoy the show! Have a good time and learn about all the different breeds.
Learn more about pedigreed cats by visiting the Cat Fanciers Association Web site.

I recently received an advance copy of The Immortalist a fantastic documentary concerning the quest two men have to achieve immortality and defeat death in humanity. As someone who does not ever want to die, I consider this to be a very noble and incomprehensibly important task. After previewing the film a few times I asked Jason Sussberg and David Alvarado if I could send them some interview questions and the obliged. Below is that exchange.
To see the film at Hot Docs 2014 click here
What was the most difficult part of the documentary for you?
The hardest part was trying to balance the fascinating science with the wildly interesting scientists who are trying to achieve the goal of living forever. The story that we found was a mixture of explaining that science, but delving into their lives and discovering what makes them tick, what in their lives reflects the themes of longer lived humans, and so much more…
What did you take away from the process of making The Immortalists?
Science documentary can be creative, emotional, and personal. You wouldn't think so watching traditional science docs, but this one shows, we hope, that there is a diversity of science media and it doesn't all have to be dry "info-tainment." On the science side, there is a lot of interest, intellectual firepower and money being thrown at aging. Shortly after we finished the film, Google announced Calico, which a project that Google describes as their "moon shot" at curing death; and Craig Vetner (of the Human Genome Project fame) just launched a company called Human Longevity, which is a genome company focused on aging. If Aubrey or Bill don't cure aging, we could still see a dramatic increase in human lifespan from these or similar projects.
What was the inspiration for showing the love making scene between Aubrey and Adelaide?
We called the scene the "Adam and Eve" (or John and Yoko?) scene during post-production. They were definitely loving, but there wasn't actually any sex going on. They like to spend time together naked in the woods-- They're nudists. We included that in the film because it shows that they are very much in love, they are a little odd in a funny way, and that they plan to spend their whole lives together. That was Adelaide's 68th birthday and going to that spot is a ritual for them... Interesting side note: they're not totally naked. You can see Adelaide's and Aubrey's cryonics bracelets if you look closely!
What was your favorite part of making The Immortalists?
That moment in post-production when we thought our film was working! We realized we had two parallel stories that feed off each other and inform one another. We were successful in showing the similarities and differences in Bill and Aubrey's science, relationships and how they deal with loss and death.
Also, long philosophical, theoretical debates with people about the merits of living forever.
Have you met anyone with extreme objection to the idea of human immortality?
Yes, all the time. A lot of people are rightfully concerned about the class implications (rich people getting the technology at the exclusion of poor, middle class folks) and environmental concerns (overpopulation, food/water supply, carbon footprint). The two arguments against living forever fall into two categories: desirability (why, wouldn't you get bored, etc.) and plausibility (that's not possible, it's snake oil, biology is very complex and not well understood, etc.).
What do you hope the film will accomplish?
We want the film to increase science literacy, ask really big questions, re-think the ultimate end (death) and explore fascinating characters. Also, we want people to be entertained and see the scientists as people: flawed, fascinating and human, like everyone else.
What is your favorite type of food to eat?
We both *love* Mexican food. Also, anything with hot sauce. We ate a burrito in every country we filmed in for this doc, including the U.K., Tanzania, Kenya, China, and Denmark. The worst burritos are in Kenya, if you wanted to know.
What's next for you as a filmmaker?
We have a few projects in the works, but nothing concrete. We're considering doing a film about de-extinction or bitcoin. So we're exploring new topics, trying to find interesting human stories that intersect with science.
Star Wars or Star Trek? / Are you excited JJ Abrams is directing Episode VII?
We disagree about this.
David: when I was younger I was never exposed to Star Trek so Star Wars was the obvious hero. But as an adult, I realized that Star Trek had found a more mature philosophy and displays a profoundly broader scope of the human experience. Not to mention, the recent episodes are essentially children's programs.
Jason: Definitely Star Wars, no doubt. Couldn't be happier about JJ Abrams taking the helm.

Officials in the sports world are calling Olympic gold-medalist Marion Jones' admission to using steroids bittersweet and sad.
On Oct. 5, Jones admitted in federal court to using steroids, pleading guilty to lying to federal investigators about it.
She later announced her retirement and offered a tearful apology.
The president of the International Olympic Committee says it's a sad day for sports.
The U.S. Olympic Committee is calling for Jones to immediately return the Olympic medals she won while she was using steroids.
Jones is scheduled to be sentenced on the federal charges January 11.
Prosecutors have suggested they'll seek a maximum of six months in jail.

Clinical Professor and Interim Chairman
Thank you for your interest in our pediatric training program. Our three-year pediatric residency emphasizes a combination of primary-continuity care and exposure to complex patients whose medical conditions require management in a tertiary care center. This approach provides the resident with the knowledge and experience to diagnose and manage the broad spectrum of pediatric illnesses and injuries.
Our program offers a highly qualified and dedicated faculty and modern, well-equipped clinical facilities at the Maynard Children's Hospital at Vidant Medical Center, the Pediatric Outpatient Center, the Adult and Pediatric Health Care Center, the Pediatric Specialty Care Center, the East Carolina Heart Institute, Children's Services the Developmental Services Agency, the Family Autism Center, and Tedi Bear: Children's Advocacy Center. The latter is a nationally accredited center with services that include forensic evaluation of possibly abused children by skilled providers, mental health therapy for victims, and community based child-abuse prevention programs. Residents are also provided the opportunity to learn about rural health by involvement in the off-site clinic offered periodically in Snow Hill, North Carolina.
Our Children's Hospital is the only hospital in eastern North Carolina designed for children. Because we are the teaching hospital for the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, and the Colleges of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences, our patients benefit from the latest and best research and treatment. We provide inpatient, outpatient and preventive community care to a population of 1.3 million in 29 eastern North Carolina counties.
Our 197-bed hospital will have about 7,000 admissions this year, and between the hospital and medical school, we will treat over 90,000 children in outpatient visits. We opened a new Pediatric Emergency Department in June 2012 and a new Children's Hospital in July 2013.
Pediatricians, pediatric specialists, pediatric surgeons and pediatric residents provide outstanding healthcare to our children. In addition, our neonatal nurse practitioners, nurses, respiratory therapists, child life specialists, social workers, school teachers and other staff are dedicated to the well being of children.
Our care includes community activities targeting wellness and prevention, disease management of selected patient populations, school health specialists and outreach education programs. Patients, families and staff benefit from services such as the Ronald McDonald House, the Children's Miracle Network, the East Carolina Injury Prevention Program, the Vidant Wellness Program, the School Health Program, the Family Support Network, the Pediatric Asthma Program, the C5 Program, the Duke endowment funded Pediatric Healthy Weight Case Management Program, the Community Care Program of eastern North Carolina, the KidPower Program, and the IN4KIDS Program. We provide services to the State's schools for the Deaf and Blind, area county health departments and numerous outreach clinical sites to include New Bern, Goldsboro, Jacksonville, Ahoskie, Elizabeth City and Wilson. Residents also participate in and learn from nationally recognized community and system-based programs that have resulted in remarkable and measurable improvements in the care of children with certain disorders such as asthma and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
In summary, we provide a challenging and comprehensive professional experience, in a cooperative atmosphere, that makes this a location to seriously consider for post-graduate training.

A judge expresses concerns about whether the singer can stay out of trouble after he said he was "good at using guns and knives".
17:24, UK, Sunday 03 January 2016
Singer Chris Brown has been ordered to stay in jail until a probation violation hearing next month after a judge expressed concerns about his ability to stay out of trouble.
The 24-year-old was arrested last Friday after his expulsion from rehab triggered a violation of his court-ordered treatment following his 2009 assault of ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
The singer's hearing is scheduled for April 23 and is complicated by a misdemeanour assault case he faces in Washington DC on April 17.
Brown was kicked out of the rehab centre for violating four in-house rules, including inappropriately touching a female client on the elbow, initially refusing a drug test and making a provocative statement, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge James Brandlin said.
Brown told a group session at the rehab centre: "I am good at using guns and knives," the judge said, reading from a report filed by the centre.
"I have concerns about his inability to stay out of trouble," Mr Brandlin said before ordering Brown to be held without bail.
Brown, dressed in a bright orange jumpsuit after spending the weekend at Los Angeles County's Men's Central Jail, was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs as his mother, Joyce Hawkins, sobbed.
"None of these things rises to the level, in my humble opinion, to be remanded into custody," argued Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, whose request to have the singer change into a grey suit he had brought for him was denied.
"He has the current prospect of sitting on ice for six weeks, which is longer than the standard probation violation," Mr Geragos added.

Sodas and other beverages heavy on sugar will carry health warning labels if a state legislator and health professionals get their way.
Under legislation introduced on Thursday by state Sen. Bill Monning, D-Los Angeles, the labels would include warnings that the drinks lead to tooth decay, diabetes and obesity.
"Americans drink more than 45 gallons of sugary beverages a year." according to a spokesperson for the California Medical Association quoted in Monning's announcement. "These drinks have become a major part of the American diet and we drink them without a second thought to the damage they do to our health. Consumers have a right to know about the unique health problems associated with soda and other sugary drinks."
According to Monning's office, one soda per day increases adults' likelihood of becoming overweight by 27 percent and a child's by 55 percent.
Additional research shows that a soda or two a day increases the risk of diabetes by 26 percent, according to Monning.
The bill is opposed by the American Beverage Association.
"While beverages and food play a role in determining good health, so do other important factors," the trade group said. "In fact, it is generally accepted that obesity involves three main factors: genetics, diet and exercise.
"We know that obesity is a serious and complex problem that is best addressed by living a balanced lifestyle – consuming a variety of foods and beverages in moderation and getting plenty of exercise. Quite simply, overweight and obesity are a result of an imbalance between calories consumed and calories burned."
The group also refuses to take the blame for tooth decay.
"Science tells us that individual susceptibility to both dental cavities and tooth erosion varies depending on a person's behavior, lifestyle, diet and genetic make-up," the group said. "In fact, there are multiple causes of dental cavities and erosion and many protective factors that can help prevent or minimize them."

Breast Cancer Health Center
Hope on the Horizon for Advanced Breast Cancer
As with hormone therapy, cancer experts now have more chemotherapy drugs available to treat women with advanced breast cancer than ever before. Researchers are trying out both combinations of different chemotherapy drugs and approaches that use them one at a time in different sequences. While it may sound insignificant, tinkering with combinations and sequences of chemotherapy drugs has made a big difference for women with breast cancer. Dose density therapy, in which chemotherapy medications are taken more frequently than traditionally, has also been shown to be effective in women with advanced cancer, even after standard chemotherapy has failed.
Isaacs predicts that state-of-the-art care for advanced breast cancer in the future may also combine chemotherapy with newer types of drugs: immunotherapy, hormone therapy, and even vaccines.
"The big move is to look at novel agents given in conjunction with standard chemotherapy. That may be a way to really make a dent on prolonging survival," Isaacs says. Genentech, the company that developed Herceptin, is now testing an antibody that blocks a growth factor that's important to the formation of new blood vessels. Such an antibody could work in combination with chemotherapy to choke off the growth of cancerous cells.
In a one-two punch, Herceptin is also being combined with the chemotherapy drugs, Taxol and carboplatin (brand name Paraplatin), in a large clinical trial by the U.S. Oncology Group and McGill University. Other studies have shown potential in Gemzar -- a drug currently approved to treat other types of cancer -- especially for women with metastatic cancer.
The Promise of Vaccines
At the University of North Carolina's Lineberger Cancer Center, scientists are about to complete a early human study of a therapeutic vaccine to treat advanced breast cancer. This type of cancer vaccine doesn't work the way that vaccines for infections like measles do. Those are given to people to prevent disease. Therapeutic cancer vaccines are being studied to help the body's immune system "rev up" to fight the disease. Initially, at least, they would be used in women who have exhausted all other treatments.
In this case, the vaccine is customized for each individual woman. Doctors take a woman's dendritic cells -- a type of white blood cell that alerts the immune system to the presence of abnormal proteins present in breast cancer cells -- and engineer them to boost their response against a particular type of abnormal protein.

About the Ticket Supplier: Plays & Players
Plays & Players began in 1911 as a social club devoted to expanding and developing new theater experiences for and by its membership. The first President, Maud Durbin Skinner, was the wife of the famed American actor Otis Skinner. The Plays & Players Theatre, then called the "Little Theatre of Philadelphia," first opened its doors in 1913. The theatre wes founded by Beulah E. Jay and her husband Edward G. Jay, Jr. with acquaintance F.H. Shelton in an effort to produce "American plays of ideas," an underrepresented genre at the time. During its 100 years of performing, Plays & Players theater company has produced innumerable notable performances — some of the most noteworthy being the world premiere of the acclaimed Broadway play Stalag 17 in 1949, and a childhood performance by actor Kevin Bacon in Member of the Wedding in 1974. The first season of Plays & Players included An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde and The Learned Ladies by Moliere, both still popular plays today.

A friend introduced me to quilting when I had my first baby 20 years ago. Not much in the way of fabric was available in remote Western Australia, so needless to say those first quilts were a bit of an eclectic effort. I have tried embroidery and folk art, but just love quilting. Just wish I had more time!! I am a big fan of Jinny Beyer and her fabric, but love making all styles of quilts.

Nothing is perfect. This is a sad, but true, fact. And Soothanol X2 is no exception. As such, we do get some Soothanol X2 complaints. So, let's talk about them.
Soothanol X2 Complaint #1: What is that smell?
Soothanol X2 has three specific ingredients that could be causing an odor: menthol, wintergreen, or DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide). If the smell is immediate, it's most likely the menthol or wintergreen. Menthol is an important active ingredient in Soothanol X2 and the amount in each dose has been clinically balanced to be the most effective it can be.
While wintergreen is an inactive ingredient, we've still been just as careful to find the perfect amount for the Soothanol X2 formula. A very small handful of people have reported a chemical-like smell. This is simply how some people perceive the wintergreen smell, and is no cause for concern.
Remember, most people find Soothanol's aroma pleasant. But if you're one of the people who find it strong, know that it will eventually wear away, as the medicine absorbs into your skin.
If the smell occurs after Soothanol X2 has been absorbed, it's probably caused by DMSO. This can be less appealing than the menthol smell, and has been described as garlicky, or even like sour milk. While rare, it does sometimes happen. However, given the amount of DMSO in each dose, very few people will experience this.
Soothanol X2 Complaint #2: Why does it burn?
That burn is from cayenne, another active ingredient in Soothanol X2. You know how peppers can create a burning sensation on your fingers when you cook with them, or in your mouth when you eat them? It's the same sensation. Consider it a sign that the medicine is working, rushing relief to your pain! As with the menthol aroma, it will wear off as the Soothanol X2 gets absorbed. And even better news — most people report that the burning stops completely after a few days of regular use.
Soothanol X2 Complaint #3: It didn't work for my joint pain.
The vast majority of people who use Soothanol X2 for arthritis or other joint pain swear by it, and the relief it brings. We absolutely recommend it for joint and arthritis pain. Unfortunately, not everything works for everyone. It's that simple. As much as we want it to work for your pain – as much as you want it to work for your pain – it just might not. But we're not satisfied until you're out of pain. So if you're one of the few people for whom Soothanol X2 just doesn't work, here are some other options that might be useful to address your pain.
These are the three biggest Soothanol X2 complaints that we hear about. Obviously, we hope you don't experience any of them. Or, if you do, we hope they are short-lived and minor. But, just in case, we wanted to address these issues. And to remind you that you're always covered by our Gold Standard Guarantee – you can return Soothanol X2 at any time, for these reasons or any others! It's that simple.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 for AT&T (SGH-i527) hits the FCC. US Cellular might launch the handset, too
Not long ago, we've seen a list of Samsung smartphones expected to be released by AT&T in the near future. The giant Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 was among them, with the model number SGH-i527.
The i527 was spotted at the Bluetooth SIG earlier this month, and now it's been approved by the FCC, too. The Federal Commission confirms that the device comes with AT&T-friendly LTE connectivity. Unfortunately, there's still no word on exactly when the second largest US carrier will launch the Mega 6.3. Its price is also unknown, but it could be $199.99 on contract.
Meanwhile, AT&T has already launched one of the new Samsung Android devices that were on the list mentioned earlier: the waterproof Galaxy S4 Active, which is offered for $199.99 (on contract, of course).
In addition to being released by AT&T, the Galaxy Mega 6.3 is also headed to US Cellular – at least according to EVleaks.
We'll bring more on this as soon as new details arrive.

It is a thick milk-based drink traditionally made with orchid tubers called sahlab in Arabic. It's preparation varies from country to country. Some recipes call for orange blossom or rose water, while others add coconut and cinnamon or nuts and raisins. In Israel it is usually made into a thick but drinkable substance, while in other countries it can be thickened into a sweet pudding that must be eaten with a spoon.Ingredients: (4 serves)4 cups milk2 tablespoons cornstarch3 tablespoons sugar2 teaspoons rose water (or vanilla)Toppings:ground cinnamon unsweetened dried shredded coconut 2 tablespoons pistachio nuts, (or almonds) chopped fineMix the cornstarch with 1/2 cup of the milk.Bring the remaining milk and sugar to a boil, then lower to a simmer.Add the cornstarch mixture and the rose water, stir to loosen up any starch that settled on the bottom.Cook on low heat until it comes to a boil, stirring constantly.

Cool designs! Cheers!
Awesome work! Inspiring! I wonder how augmetic feet would handle running over dunes...maybe extendable braces or attachable spreaders would help increase each foot's surface area and allow for better traction and a greater weight distribution over sand (think of how a camel's foot spreads out and splays when it walks).

Increased security measures are set and ready for the National Football League (NFL) fans and Super Bowl crowds to enjoy South Florida. Metal detectors, bomb sniffing dogs, scanners, cameras, and surveillance are all weapons U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has in her arsenal. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will establish a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) around Dolphin Stadium. A United States Air Force B-2 Stealth Bomber is set to overfly Dolphin Stadium before the Super Bowl begins.
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano visited the stadium on February 1, 2010 was to ensure security measures are sufficient. During the visit Napolitano said, "I didn't have any suggestions to give, it looked pretty good to me, they're well prepared for the game", according to the Associated Press. FBI Special Agent-In-Charge John V. Gillies said more than 64 agencies will be at the Super Bowl's joint operations center, a headquarters for officials to handle security, according to the Sun-Sentinel. "There's security that the public will see, and there's security the public will not see," Gillies said.
The weather channel reports 65 degrees and sunset just after 6 PM. Passengers should check with their respective airlines prior to departure due to a good chance of snowstorms hitting New England region airports causing the possibilities of delays and cancellations of departing flights. Some visitors to south Florida decided to dodge the weather and stay a couple of extra days to stroll the South Florida beaches or enjoy a meal at a local's favorite Bru's Room.

Announced last night, Seth MacFarlene has pledged to match all donations on Reading Rainbow's Kickstarter campaign up to $1 million.
On its first day, Reading Rainbow received its initial goal of $1 million to bring the show to the web and reach 1,500 underprivileged classrooms for free within a matter of hours. The subsequent stretch goals kept pushing the boundaries of what Reading Rainbow would be capable of, and who they would be able to reach; with the current $5 million allowing for mobile, android, console, and OTT box applications to be developed in addition to the already available iOS app, and 7,500 classrooms to receive the program for free.
LeVar Burton, head of the project and host of the show, said in a video announcement last night that over the next five days, MacFarlene would be pledging up to $1 million, and that the money would be going specifically to helping reach more schools. Should the campaign reach its stretch goal of $5 million over the remaining five days of its funding period, MacFarlene's pledge will have helped Reading Rainbow reach a total of 12,500 schools.
As of right now, a total of almost 86,000 backers have pledged $4.1 million and counting. The project will be fully funded on July 2. Burton pressed the urgency of how important it is now more than ever to become a contributor, as each dollar will be matched when the campaign closes.
Please help us in thanking Seth MacFarlene for his generous contribution to furthering education and readership in the country by Tweeting him @SethMacfarlane.

Political Strategy Notes
At Five Thirty Eight, John Sides has the second installment of "The Moneyball of Campaign Advertising" (part one here) taking a skeptical view of the value of political ads, according to available data -- except when a candidate is not well-known.
Dems, know thy adversary. Democrats involved in political analysis, strategy and messaging should check out GOP messaging guru Frank Luntz's web page. Start here and keep reading and clicking.
Is the upper south trending blue? Kyle Trygstad's "Latest Quinnipiac Poll Continues to Show Virginia Is Top Battleground" at Roll Call Politics taps a new Quinnipiac University Polling Institute survey to offer some encouragement to both the Obama and Kaine for Senate campaigns.
GOP bullying tactics don't work so well in the granite state, reports the AFL-CIO blog's Nora Frederickson. The Republican speaker Bill O'Brien got five of the GOP presidential candidates to pop off in favor of overriding Democratic Governor John Lynch's veto of the so-called "right-to-work" bill. But after hearing from workers, the override effort flunked, and Bachmann got booed.
John Cassidy's New Yorker article "Can Obama Win? Not This Way" makes a persuasive case that Obama campaign strategists' belief that he can win without a strong showing in the industrial states is dangerously wrong.
Curious about top corporate/PAC contributors to Democrats and Republicans? OpenSecrets.org has the percentage breakdowns for the 2012 election cycle thus far.
Need a good soundbite on GOP Senators killing the one jobs bill that has popular support? "There are 14 million people out of work, wages are falling, poverty is rising, and a second recession may be blowing in, but not a single Republican would even allow debate on a sound plan to cut middle-class taxes and increase public-works spending." So sayeth this New York Times editorial.
But the bill is about to be resurrected -- in more palatable bites. Lisa Mascaro and Christi Parsons report from the L.A. Times D.C. bureau on the strategic considerations in their article "Democrats plan next step for Obama's jobs package".
Time Magazine Swampland reports that the latest Time/ABT SRBI poll has some good news for Dems. Asked "Regardless of how you usually vote, overall, which party...do you trust to do a better job in dealing with the main problems the nation faces over the next few years?", 42 percent chose Democrats and 31 percent picked Republicans, with 18 percent saying "neither." In addition, a total of 54 percent of respondents said they had a "somewhat favorable" or "very favorable" opinion of the Wall St. protests and 68 percent said "the rich should pay more taxes," while 73 percent favored tax hikes on millionaires.
Jamison Foser at Media Matters has a provocative post "The Symbiotic Relationship Between "Moderate" Republicans And The Tea Party," which faults 'moderate' GOP Senators, who "deserve far more blame than they get for Washington gridlock and the continued failure to fix urgent problems..." He calls out Maine Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, along with Mass. Sen. Scott Brown as particularly blame-worthy for political gridlock because they know better. Ditto, says Foser, for GOP House members in swing districts.
