"Beautiful Hiking for the Beautiful People" Top 5 Page for this destination Gstaad by firechick
Gstaad Travel Guide: 40 reviews and 101 photos
I have been to Gstaad several times, starting in June of 2000, twice in 2002 and again in 2003. But I have never stayed in a hotel in Gstaad....don't think I could afford it!
Actually, I can say I never would have come here were it not for meeting my (now) husband (in Chamonix) and being invited here while he was working in the town for a summer season. We go back often now to visit friends and do more gorgeous hiking or mountain biking.
Right now the photos here were all taken one weekend (July 4 2003) but if I have time I hope to scan in photos taken with my 35mm camera of more of the Gstaad city (photos which I took in June 2000 and in 2002) and post them here. I am still building this page!
Gstaad has a special place in my heart, since in September of 2000 while on a visit here, my husband asked me to marry him. Since my husband had lived & worked here for 3 summers, my introduction to this area was quite different from that of many tourists and dealt mainly with the hiking in the area (he is a hiking maniac and did all the peaks which you can see from the town of Gstaad over those 3 summers). So my pages/memories of the area are a bit more tilted towards hiking or skiing and not to many of the other reasons people could go there (such as to be seen ;-)
Gstaad has a lot going for it - winter skiing and summer hiking are some of the big attractions. But also there are other things - a big music festival in summer (classical music in honor of the violinist/conductor Yehudi Menuhin who used to live here), country music week (ok that could be a minus depending on your tastes!), tennis tournament in summer, and even a polo cup is played here.
Some good websites for information on Gstaad are:
Note that Gstaad is very cosmopolitan - Swiss German is the local language but a lot of people also speak English, French and German especially in the stores and restaurants. It is quite easy to travel here without knowing the local language.
Many celebrities keep homes here, and actually just walking along the paths (there are many pedestrian walkways between the streets - be sure to explore these 'wanderwegs') and peeking at the expesive and gorgeous chalets here is a wonderful way to walk off a heavy evening meal of fondue!
Other nearby towns/villages which are part of the Saanenland (as this part of Kanton Bern is called) are: Saanen, Saanenm�ser, Sch�nried, Gsteig and Lauenen (see my Lauenen page for hiking tips there!) You may be able to find more affordable accomodations in one of these villages. Gstaad is the biggest of the aforementioned towns.
- Pros:Gorgeous gorgeous hiking, beautiful alpine setting, rolling hills and working dairy farms
- Cons:Pricey hotels
- In a nutshell:Saanenland is beautiful!!

Green Infrastructure for Water Quality & Neighborhood Revitalization
Hudson Valley Regional Council
Wednesday, May 8, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Green Infrastructure for Water Quality & Neighborhood Revitalization -- May 8, 2013
Sponsored by the Hudson Valley Regional Council. Co-Sponsored by the Orange County Planning Department; other supporting organizations TBA (list in formation)
Space is limited -- register now or contact Pat Pomeroy at firstname.lastname@example.com or 845-564-4075, or Simon Gruber at firstname.lastname@example.com
Green infrastructure for managing water is a sustainable and effective approach for managing stormwater runoff and integrating water resources goals into land use planning and meeting water quality goals. It's become the preferred approach for managing runoff and protecting water quality in state and Federal regulatory and funding programs. The May 8 conference in Newburgh will provide an introduction to basic concepts and examples of GI, presentations about specific opportunities in Newburgh and other communities in the region, case studies of completed projects, and discussion about resources and next steps including grants and technical assistance.
In addition to managing stormwater and protecting water quality, GI concepts and practices can provide a wide range of other community benefits. These benefits include:
- more greenery, better walkability, and an improved streetscape environment for residents and visitors
- public health and safety – cooling benefits in hot weather, improved air quality, enhanced recreation and walking opportunities, and better drainage
- crime reduction -- there's good evidence that certain crimes go down where lots and neighborhoods have more green space
- energy efficiency – reductions in building cooling and heating costs, and in operating costs for municipal infrastructure
- increased property values
- many of these are especially important in urban areas and lower income communities that are disproportionately impacted by pollution, asthma and other air quality issues, heat stress in warm weather, lack of access to green space, residential energy costs, etc.
This conference will introduce and explore opportunities for implementing these concepts in the context of urban communities in the mid-Hudson Valley region. Speakers and panelists include (in alphabetical order):
John Behan, Behan Associates
Nette Compton, NY City Parks Department
Robert Crauderueff, NY City Soil and Water Conservation District
Fran Dunwell, Coordinator, NY State DEC Hudson River Estuary Program

Dennis Johnson was posthumously inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the Boston Celtics on Friday night in Indianapolis. Johnson's wife, Donna Johnson, and brother, Gary Johnson, accepted the honor on his behalf, giving thanks to Charles Barkley for repeatedly saying on television over the past several years that it was "shameful" that Johnson was not yet in the Hall.
A video montage was shown at the start of Johnson's presentation, during which Hall of Famers and former Celtics Larry Bird, John Havlicek and Bill Walton spoke. Bird said Johnson was "the best player I've ever played with" during the montage.
"It's disappointing," Bird told the Boston Herald of the delay in Johnson's entry, "but, still, he's there. I'm so proud of the family. I'm so happy for them. This meant a lot to DJ. We talked about this when he was playing."
Donna cried during a morning press conference at the Hall of Fame as she tried to offer thanks for her husband's long-awaited induction.
The Class of 2010 also included Jerry Buss, Cynthia Cooper, Bob Hurley Sr., Karl Malone, Scottie Pippen, the 1960 USA men's Olympic team and the 1992 USA Basketball "Dream Team," along with the posthumous honoring of Dennis Johnson, Gus Johnson and Maciel "Ubiratan" Pereira.
The former Celtics point guard -- known as DJ -- won two NBA championship with Boston, in 1984 and '86, but was best known for his stellar defense. Johnson was a six-time All-Defensive First Team selection while earning nine consecutive All-Defensive team honors. The five-time NBA All-Star also won a title with the Seattle SuperSonics in 1979, when he was named NBA Finals MVP.
A native of Compton, Calif., Johnson was drafted out of Pepperdine University by the SuperSonics in 1976; he later played with the Phoenix Suns (1980-83) before joining the Celtics (1983-90). Johnson accumulated more than 15,000 points and 5,000 assists in his 14-year career.
After retiring in 1990, Johnson spent time as a scout and coach in the NBA and the NBA Development League.
Johnson died in on Feb. 22, 2007 from a heart attack. He was 52.

DP Factory only begins to make sense after the first scene. This European production opens up with one guy taking on four girls. And with only one dick at the table, none of the girls get d.p.'d. A couple of girls take it up the butt, but that's as close to the "factory" as the opening scene gets.
After the opener, the remaining six scenes all take place in the same studio, on a huge round cushion surrounded by overexposed white walls. One after another, the girls take their places on the big cushion and proceed to get d.p.'d.

Made this for my lunch today, and found the salad to be easy to put together and delicious. It was a very nice way for me to stock up on my veggies! I loved using fresh Greek oregano, as right now that is the only herb in my garden growing in abundance. I used about 3 fresh sprigs, but I think next time I will use more (5-6 perhaps). I used black Kalamata olives and chopped them up for even distribution. Thanks for this tasty lunch. I will definitely make this dish again. Made for ZWT4.
Very yummy, easy to put together Greek salad. Reminds me of our trip to Greece a couple of years ago, where we had this salad at every lunch, pretty much! Made for ZWT4.
This has a lot of great flavors and we did enjoy eating it, but we all felt that it could use some "filler stuff" in it, to use DH's words. ME and roommie were a bit more coherent and agreed that not only were the olives NOT an option or garnish, this could really use a handful of baby spinach leaves. Then, DELICIOUS! :) Thank you for posting, this went well with the Grecian Meatloaf Gyros. Made for ZWT4.

Only 10 percent of citizens say they have confidence in Congress, with no discernible difference among those who call themselves Democrats and those who say they're Republicans.

WASHINGTON -- It is reassuring that in the midst of so much government dysfunction, the IRS has resolved the question of when and whether to tax tanning beds under the Affordable Care Act. Do not be concerned about that giddiness you feel. You are not having a nervous breakdown but are suffering a symptom commonly associated with recognition that the absurd has become the accepted norm -- and that you are, in fact, alone.

The end of the school is a veritable kaleidoscope of activities and excitement, with happiness and even a little relief thrown in for good measure. For me, it's also a time to reflect on the school district's many accomplishments over the past year. To say the least, it's been one terrific year! This month, I wanted to review just a few of the many highlights of 2012-13:

As a Kershaw County teacher for twenty-seven years, I'm not sure I have ever properly thanked my very first teacher -- my father, Dave Spradley -- or told him how great of an impact he has had on my life and on my career. The most important lessons about literacy and education, I learned from him. Whether it was sitting on the couch, snuggled against him as he read aloud to me, or laughing at the silly poetry he recited, I remember how warm and comfortable being immersed in language and literature felt as a young child. I fell in love ...

That's nonsense. You can rotate around any point you please with matrices (and obviously by glRotatef). You just have to apply T^-1 * R * T instead of just R, where T is a translation matrix which moves the desired center point to the origin.

According to this:
He needs to. He wants to rotate AROUND a point. Not at the centerpoint which glRotatef() would do.
He wants to rotate around the center of the shape.
but it still rotates around the center of the screen, but does not rotate around the center of the shape.
But either way raw trigonometry is unnecessary, as it was already pointed out that applying first the inverse translate of the center point prior to rotating, lastly followed by the object's translation, can all be done with matrix math.
When you want to rotate around the center of the object, as he said he wants to do.
What, in wrong order? I don't understand, when would he even want to use the order you suggested? First translate, then rotate.
Otherwise you translate by the opposite of the center of rotation, rotate, and then apply object translation. In other words, when working with only the object's translate and rotate, rotate always comes last.

This book is short, concise and contains practical information regarding diagnosis and treatment of patients with either hemophilia A (AHF deficiency) or hemophilia B (PTC deficiency). It is divided into two major portions.
The first part of the book outlines the way to diagnose a bleeding disorder. The importance of an accurate detailed past history and family history is emphasized. Coagulation tests which would be helpful in the diagnosis of a bleeding disorder are discussed and the uselessness of the glass clotting time and bleeding time by themselves as screening tests for a coagulation abnormality is stressed.
The experience of the author in treatment of patients with hemophilia A and B at the Boston Children's Hospital Medical Center is given in part 2 of the book. Although there are occasional points in this section which are controversial (such as aspiration of a hemarthrosis), a good outline of therapy is presented.

Stars expanding their name recognition is nothing new in the world of celebrity.
If they're not the silver screen or the small screen, they're putting their good name behind clothes, perfume, books, coffee, nail polish, and even business schools.

Emily Maynard may have stolen Brad Womack's heart on The Bachelor, but the one who really got her happily ever after actually got turned down at the altar.
Season 15 runner-up Chantal O'Brien is expecting her first baby in July, according to an online baby registry, Celebuzz can reveal.
As the saying goes, third time's the charm – and that could be very true for Emily Maynard.
After two failed engagements on The Bachelor franchise, the 26-year-old may just get her happy ending after all, with producers considering bringing her back, a source close to the production told Celebuzz.
Celeb hunks were definitely caught on site at this weekend's South by Southwest (SXSW) festival.

Research Institution:
AbstractBalloon-borne radiosondes are used extensively to collect meteorological data in atmospheric research programs funded by NOAA, WMO, DOD, DOE and others. The launch of radiosondes requires skilled personnel at each launch site to perform tasks such as balloon filling, sonde pre-conditioning and attachment, and physical release of the equipment. At present no low-cost, simple, lightweight, and robust launchers that automate the process are commercially available. Launching balloon sondes in high winds is particularly problematic. In Phase I, ADA demonstrated the automated launch of balloon-borne radiosondes in high winds (30mph+) from a novel automated sonde launcher weighing roughly 100 lbs compared to multi-ton commercial alternatives. The ADA modular launcher is less expensive and more flexible than existing systems, incorporating numerous innovations and robust mechanisms that improve reliability. In Phase II, ADA will complete the development and packaging of this system and field validate the design on a ship. The prototype unit will be designed with extensive input from users and configured for minimal service requirements by shipboard personnel.

Mono 2.0 is Ready: Compilers for C# 3.0 and Visual Basic 8
The developers of Mono, the free implementation of the .NET framework, have achieved a major milestone with version 2.0.
A complete compiler for C# 3.0 and a compiler for Visual Basic 8 are among the highlights of the new Mono release. Among the APIs are Gtk# 2.12, a binding to the Gtk+ 2.1.2 and GNOME libraries, and Mono.Cairo, a binding to the Cairo Graphics library. Mono also includes Microsoft-compatible APIs such as ADO.NET 2.0 for database programs, ASP.NET 2.0 for web development and Windows.Forms 2.0 for desktop applications. The Mono 2.0 release notes go into further details.
Mono project leader Miguel de Icaza had offered full details on the C# 3.0 compiler in his blog.
The Mono open source project uses various licenses. The class libraries and the C# compiler are under the MIT X.11 license, while the runtime is under GNU LGPL and the SDK tools are under either the GNU GPL or MIT X.11 license.

They are all good, just depends on how big or small you want it to be. The bigger boards are just for cruising but the Knox as Erock says is pretty amazing, really quick turns. I have the facetime, it's awesome. You'll love whichever one you end up getting.

\nI forgot to elaborate about the ollie thing: The c7 front truck is heavy, like twice as heavy as a standard truck. Plus you want to ride it with some risers so you can really lay it on a rail without having serious wheel bite, so the geometry and weight is working against you for an ollie. The Ft. Knox comes standard with 3 risers, 1/4 inch each. I'm about to order four more to play around with raising the height a little more. It looks like Taylor has 4-5 risers on his in their videos.

I have a Resin 31 and a Facetime 38. I'll use the 38 for long workouts following my wife on her bike. The longer length is much closer to a natural surfing stance and really works out your legs more to pump it. However, if I want to have fun practicing hacks and cutbacks in an empty parking lot the 31 is quicker, more maneuverable, and a blast. So it kinda depends on what you want. That's not to say you can't do cutbacks and hacks on the 38 or vise versa. Those trucks are amazing and allow the turning mechanics of surfing almost perfectly. But generally I would say if you want a trainer for your legs, get a longer length to mimic your surfing stance. If you want to practice turns, snaps and cutbacks, get the shorter length. Or buy both like I did because they are so damn fun.

I have the 29" swallow and it is very much like surfing with pumping and turns. Where I live there are no sidewalks so I pump down the street and use driveways as the face of the wave to imitate snaps. You can slide out the tail to replicate it and it really helped with surfing especially since it gets flat for awhile at a time. You literally can pump uphill with this board if you had to, its pretty awesome.

i have the taylor knox & that thing has been a good send these past 2 months i had to spend out of the water w/ a neck injury (just got back in the water the other day, but that's another story)...i also have an old sector 9 longboard that i plan to retrofit w/ carver trucks to do like gallery said...up to the beach to check the surf, etc...the knox is more for going to a parking lot or something & practice turns & hacks & such...whatever you get, you'll definitely be stoked on it!

Cool. To start with, I really want to work on my pumping and smooth sweeping turns, I feel like those are the first things to improve and then move on to sharper turns, cutbacks and so forth. So ideally I'd like a board that excels in all those aspects. I was looking at the various 31" models (Fort Knox, Monsta and Resin). Wasn't really sure of the pros and cons of each of those. But I was also hoping the board would be long enough so that I could maintain the normal width of my surfing stance. I figured maintaining the same width would help the things learned on the street carry over easier to the water. What are your guys thoughts on that? I'm pretty tall, 6' 3", so I probably have a slightly wider stance than average because of the long legs. One of 31 inch boards might be long enough, hard to say, it would be close. It wouldn't be the end of the world to narrow my stance slightly, but I worry if it would have an adverse effect on my surfing? I was looking at the 34 inch Greenroom complete thinking maybe the longer board there would be better for someone taller like myself. Advice?
\nEdit: I should clarify I'm not interested in bombing hills or anything like that. Parking lots, roads, inclined driveways and stuff. I'm sure I'll have a blast with it but its mostly going to be a surfing crosstrainer for me. I want to take my surfing to the next level

\nI'm in a similar situation, 6'2" 200# also looking for a shortboard crosstrainer. Looking at the Carver Monsta/Resin (seems to be same board, both 31" w 17" wheelbase), but think I might want a longer board because I'm a little taller so my stance is probably a little wider. The Carver Bitmap seems good, 35" board with a 17.5" wheelbase. Just a 1/2" longer wheelbase but maybe the toe kick nullifies the extra deck room. The Greenroom has an 18 7/8" wheelbase which I think is longer than I want for flat pumping and tighter carving turns.
\nAnyone have thoughts on Monsta/Resin vs Bitmap vs Greenroom?
\nAny 6'2" or taller riders on the Monsta/Resin? Thanks

I love cruising around town on my Carver 34" Green Room and my Dog Bamboo has gotten pretty good at skating his 31.25" Stacked Complete. Bamboo's even made it onto the Carver website. The C7 truck is the only way to go for a dog skateboard.

.. Yesterday I saw some kids carving down the street and filming it with a GoPro. Do Carvers look fun as hell? Yes. Do kids look dumb as hell Carving after each other with a GoPro on flatground? Yes.
Mbolaris I just want you to know that you inspired me to bring my skateboard to the beach for my attempted lazy afternoon session. I don't live near the greatest surf spot but the area does have two different skateparks on the beach.

My primary board is a 5'8 quad fish in the water..i just recently got the carver resin (31") and it is awesome. I noticed a difference in my surfing immediately when I was out for the first time after using the skate board. I am used to riding drop through long boards with conventional trucks, and it was weird to get used to the carver, but its all i ride now. When i ride the carver I have my back foot right where the kick tail starts to rise up and my front foot is generally on top of the front wheels to give an idea of stance... i am 6'0 tall for the record.

My first Carver was a LOLA (36" deck, 20 1/2" wheelbase). It was fun for carving down small hills or on banks, but it was a bit of an effort for me to pump it on the flats. I'm 5'11" and 180 lbs. Then I got the Fraktal ( (33" deck, 16" wheelbase) and that's perfect. It pumps effortlessly on flat ground and I can do really tight radius turns on it. It feels like a thruster the way it accelerates out of turns when I put pressure on my back foot. I think wheelbase relative to your height and weight is probably the key to getting the performance you want out of one of these boards. The longer wheelbase of the LOLA wasn't quite right for me, but my friend who is 6'2 and 220 lbs could pump it easily. I agree that these are a great training tool and super fun, a lifesaver for an East Coast surfer. Good luck and enjoy!

Alright I think I might settle with the 34" Greenroom. It is their biggest surfskate board, and I definitely want a surfskate. I figure the couple extra inches will help a tall guy like me, but it should still be easy enough to skate it aggressively. Anyone ever ridden the Greenroom? OldSoul, is your stance on your Carver narrower than on your fish? And if so, does it feel awkward switching back and forth? I've never skated before so I'm not sure what to expect, hence the noobish questions. I've heard some lifelong skaters turned surfers say that it is initially hard to learn how to stand with a wider stance for surfing.

i got a chance to ride the TK carver this weekend and all i gotta say is wow!! so much fun. i skated all throughout high school and early college until i blew out my ankles over and over again and was out of the water more than i was in because of it. so i gave it up. now im 32, and i jump on that thing this weekend and im ready to start skating again. should be a bit easier on the ankles not doing flip tricks and just riding it for surfing. so anyone in the south jersey area have a used one they want to sell. $200+ brand new is a bit steep right now. but anyway, those things are sick.

I have two Carvers: the Venice (36") and the Flowmaster (42"). I have also ridden a friend's Monsta (31"). Strangely, I love riding the Flowmaster in pools, it just seems a lot less squirrelly than the shorter models and more like surfing (to me, anyway). Though lots of people think I'm crazy riding one that long.
\nIf you are used to double-kick boards I think the Venice is a good choice, it has a shorter wheelbase than you'd think. The 31" models are too short for my tastes.

GrantLee, my stance is about the same on both boards (probably a little wider on the fish) I dont really have a wide stance to begin with though. I think a 34" will be okay for you, these are fun little boards that will help you become more fluent in using your rear leg to pump through sections and develop power out of turns. The wheels they come with are not to bad either, they slide pretty easily when you want them to... fun boards man...

Which truck would everyone recomend? The C7 or the CX?
\nI'm a new surfer (skated a ton when I was younger, but not recently) and was thinking of either the 34" Greenroom or the 36" Lola. Being new to surfing, I'm only riding long boards.
\nAny recommendations?

I also have an older Greenroom model where you can switch the wheelbase, I prefer it on the shorter side. It's super fun all around. If you go with a smaller one with a shorter wheelbase you will have the advantage of a tighter turn radius and quicker pumps but you will lose some stability and might have to adjust your stance compared to how you surf. You don't want to have your front foot past the bolts on the front truck, you won't get the surf feel out of it that way, so you can judge that as a way to see what size to get.
\nI'm sure you'll have a blast on whichever one you grab, though. They are super fun.

\nDon't worry about stance and all that crap, don't over think it, it's not so scientific, just get a board and rip it. They are so much fun, just get one and adjust to the board.

Just got the Knox board. Love it. Erock I know you got that one. Rode it for about two hours last night after the night session and could feel a difference on my first ride this morning. Cut a frontside back up the wave with speed I've not had yet. Was working frontsides on the Carver last night since my backsides are better and the first drop of the day I pulled my best front ever. Really looking forward to this Carver being lots of fun during the flat and also helping my surfing greatly.

Which Carver Skateboard?
Hey guys,
I've been doing some reading about the Carver skateboards and am pretty sure I'm going to pull the trigger and order one. I've been surfing for about a year and a half and I feel like I've hit a wall in my surfing. I'm hoping some repetitions with the board will help my pumping, turning and stuff, not to mention it just looks fun. Any recommendations as far as which model to get?

Garage Associated with TWU
Contract Parking: $320 per semester ($15 one time processing fee for first time students)
Contract parking can be secured at the Standard Parking Office located in Scurlock Tower (of The Methodist Hospital). Please go to the crosswalk level (2nd floor) to Suite 290. The office door (very plain and unassuming) is found next to Murphy's Deli and across from the Prescription Drug Store. Contact Information: 713-790-0010
*Free Shuttle from TWU to Scurlock Tower.(This service runs every ten minutes, Monday through Friday, 5:00 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.)
Hourly parking rates range from $3 to $11
If you decide to "pay as you go", please be aware that credit cards only are accepted at the machines for check out. To pay by cash, the transaction would need to be done with the machines in the elevator lobby.
NOTE: Spaces available for Open Parking are located on the 4th Floor and above. Do NOT park in those spaces with gray and white signs: "TWU Reserved Parking". These are set aside of TWU faculty and staff. All others who park in these spaces will be towed at the owner's expense.
The entry and exit into the parking garage can be accessed through the following roads:
- Entry and Exit on Main Street
- Entry on Old Main street (side street off of Main and Holcombe)
- Exit on Fannin
Night Rate Monday through Thursday
Arrive after 5:00 p.m. and depart before 5:00 a.m. - a flat $6.00 fee* (for 12 hours)

University METRO Q Fare Card:
It is a smart way to travel for FULL TIME Students. A Student Pass is being offered through METRO in the form of a Metro Q Fare Card. Use of this card with the "Pass" element provides college students with many benefits:
- College students receive 50% discount off the Metro bus and train fares.
- Students enjoy 5 free trips for every 50 paid trips.
- The card balance is protected if the card is lost or stolen ( registered users only).
- Quickly add money to your Metro Q Fare card at various locations including HEB, Kroger, Randalls, and METRO RideStores. More funds may also be added through the Internet by Credit Card payment. MasterCard, Visa and Discover are all accepted.
The initial issuance of the Q Card with Student Pass can be accomplished at
The Downtown Transit Center
1900 Main Street
1st Floor – METRO RideStore
*If you take the Light Rail, the stop to exit is termed the "Downtown Transit Center"; it stops right in front of the building. The hours are 7:30am – 5:30pm.
University Metro Q Fare Card Requirements:
- Must show a fee receipt and class schedule with credit hours to qualify and a letter from the college verifying (current) full time status. Letter has to be on the school's letter head with the student's name.
- Government issued photo ID (state driver license, ID or passport is required for Metro Q Fare Card Registration.)
- College photo ID is required.
- Credit hours for full time status:
Undergraduate : 12 + hours
Graduate : 9 + hours
- Photo is required on Metro Q Fare Card (Will be taken at the Metro Ride Store)
For more information about the METRO Q Card
call the METROLine at 713-635-4000
and/or visit www.ridemetro.org.
(Adapted from www.ridemetro.org website)
Ideas for Consideration
Utilize Fannin South Park & Ride, located behind Sam's, just past Loop 610 (beyond NRG Stadium). The cost is $3.00 per day to park at that location. From there, FULL TIME Students with a METRO Q Card will pay $0.60 each way ($1.20 in total) to use the Light Rail in coming into the Texas Medical Center. Those without a Q Card enabling half off traditional fare will use $1.25 one way with the Light Rail ($2.50 round trip) in traveling into the Texas Medical Center.
A broad sweep of the many options for getting to and from TWU can be found in this Parking and Transportation summary. Take some time to explore what might be the best fit for your academic journey with us.

I'd like to use this plugin with ICE to track doc changes and revisions.
Natively, ICE works on posts, but can be used on pages with this code:
change ice.php line 41 from:
if ( 'post' != $current_screen->id )
(works on either posts or pages):
if ( 'post' != $current_screen->id && 'page' != $current_screen->id)
(should work on any post type:)
if ( 'post' != $current_screen->base )
This doesn't work for docs. Any advice?

Graduate Certificate in Global Health
Students enrolled in any Vanderbilt graduate program who receive the approval of their program coordinator/dean and fulfill the requirements listed below are eligible for the certificate. Students must submit an Intent to Enroll form upon their decision to pursue the certificate and must complete the Certificate Application at least two months prior to graduation detailing the ways in which requirements were met.
Description | Earning the Certificate | Requirements/Courses | Graduates | FAQs | Contact
Global health is not limited to clinical health professionals. Practitioners from various fields, including business, education, and engineering, are vital to global health work. This interdisciplinary graduate-level certificate program promotes joint training opportunities in global health between various departments and schools at Vanderbilt. Students earning this certificate learn basic knowledge and skills that will help them make positive contributions in global health. Any Vanderbilt professional or graduate student who fulfills all requirements will be granted the certificate when they receive their graduate degrees.
Objectives of the Certificate
- To equip students with analytic and problem-solving skills that can be applied to current and emerging global health challenges.
- To prepare students for internationally-focused careers in academia, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, immigrant health agencies, philanthropic foundations, and industry.
- To help students assess public health challenges within international cultural and socioeconomic contexts.
- To instruct students in the fundamental principles of research, planning, and management methodology in resource-constrained settings.
- To facilitate student synthesis and analysis of global health data from existing and de novo sources.
- To ensure student acquisition of core competencies in global health care and prevention, including the mastery of a basic vocabulary in these disciplines.
Earning the Certificate
For students interested in pursuing the certificate in global health, please follow these steps:
- Review the information on this page and the Certificate Requirements.
- Print, fill out, and have your Director of Graduate Studies/Program Director sign the VU Notification of Intent to Enroll (signatures of the certificate director and graduate school will be completed by VIGH). Then, submit this form as part of the VIGH Intent to Enroll form.
- Complete at least 12 credit hours of graduate-level coursework in global health. At least one course should be either Foundations of Global Health or Essential Skills in Global Health. The other courses are electives and students may choose from other global health courses offered by VIGH (search for PUBH in YES) or other global health related courses. This checklist will help you to plan and track your global health credits.
- If you wish to submit a request for a non-VIGH global health related course to be considered as part of your elective credit hours, please complete the Course Proposal form.
- Use this checklist to help you plan and keep track of your global health course credits.
- Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss any questions or concerns, and to discuss a possible field experience.
- At least two months prior to graduation, submit the Certificate Application. You may initiate the form at any time during your graduate program to track your progress toward the certificate using the "Save and Return Later" feature.
Certificate Requirements & Courses
Certificate Requirements
NEW REQUIREMENTS as of Summer 2015: Students will be granted a global health certificate at the time of graduation from their respective graduate degree-seeking program if they have successfully completed the requirements stipulated below:
- At least one 3-credit-hour core global health course: Foundations of Global Health or Essential Skills in Global Health
- At least 9 credit hours of additional global health electives.
- These credit hours may be a combination of VIGH global health courses or other approved courses that have relevance to global health.
- Students may individually tailor and/or design electives in consultation with faculty mentors.
- Practicum, thesis, research immersion, and individual learning courses that have relevance to global health may be approved for Certificate credit.
- Global health fieldwork can satisfy up to 6 elective credit hours (see Field Experience section below for more information).
- Students wishing to count a non-VIGH course towards the Certificate should complete the Course Proposal form in which they explain how the course relates to the Certificate objectives (listed above in a previous section) and describe their final course deliverable, which must relate to global health.
- All courses for the Certificate must be taken for graduate credit and involve global health content.
This checklist will help you to plan and track your global health credits.
Global Health Course Credits:
Global health courses:
- Vanderbilt's global health courses and their descriptions are detailed here.
- Search for other global health courses on YES using the code "PUBH" or typing "global health."
Other courses with relevance to global health:
- In addition to the courses above, the following have been approved for the Certificate:
- Project Pyramid – offered in Mods 3 and 4 (spring semester)
- Addressing Global Health Disparities: An Interdisciplinary Perspective (NURS 8072) – offered as a block course in the spring
- Interdisciplinary Topics in Global Health (NURS 6080) – offered spring and summer, in-person and online
- MD students only: Global Health ISC and AE and Research Immersion Inquiry
- Courses that are not listed in the sections above but do relate health, low-resource settings, foreign-born populations, economics, community development, and similar topics may be considered for certificate credit, if your final deliverable focuses on an aspect of global health.
- For example, in a course on international economic development, an appropriate final deliverable would be a literature review on the economic impact of HIV/AIDS in South Africa.
- We have compiled a list of potential courses that may relate to global health.
- Students may also tailor a practicum, thesis, or individual learning course to relate to global health and to be considered for Certificate credit.
- To have a course be considered for the certificate requirements, please submit the "Course Proposal" form.
Field Experience:
A field experience is highly encouraged, but not required, and can count for up to 6 credit hours. To count for the Certificate, field experiences should be a structured time (such as a 6-week block, 20 hours/week for 12 weeks, or 1 day/week for 30 weeks), include a final reflective report, and be registered for MD or graduate credit hours.
Field experience credit hours from other graduate and professional school requirements count towards the certificate. For example, a practicum/internship may satisfy 3-6 credit hours (if initially registered for credit) and a MD Research Immersion Inquiry or year-abroad global health experience, such as a Fogarty, Fulbright-Fogarty, Medical Scholars, or Doris Duke international fellowship, may satisfy 6 credit hours. Typically, global health field experiences are abroad, though certain circumstances and interests may allow students to engage in global health research and work in Middle Tennessee, particularly with immigrants and refugees. Click here to read examples of past field experiences.
When deciding on a field experience, the student should meet with VIGH faculty/staff to develop an appropriate practicum experience, which includes goals based on inputs from the faculty mentor and in tandem with the current research and educational activities that are being undertaken at the collaborating institution/organization. Students should have an on-site faculty supervisor and submit written agreements with both domestic and international supervisors.
Students traveling overseas are required to register with International SOS at least two weeks prior to departure.To help prepare for your field experience, you can find information about Travel Resources, Pre-departure Preparation, and Safety (VUnetID login required).
When looking to fund your practicum, look through our list of external funding options, talk with your Vanderbilt school and colleagues for ideas, and do a web search for your specific research/professional interest to see who might fund your project.
*Please note: If a student plans to travel to a country that is on the U.S. Department of State Travel Warning list, s/he must submit a "Request for Exception to Travel." For more information, visit the Global Support Services Office.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find course descriptions?
Visit the course description page for general overviews. Log into YES for the most up-to-date information on faculty and times.
Do VIGH courses require faculty approval?
Due to limited class sizes, all students outside of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine will require approval from VIGH and course faculty. Please contact the course professor prior to enrolling and explain that you are a candidate for the Graduate Certificate in Global Health and wish to enroll in the course as part of the certificate.
How do I identify a good field experience?
Students are encouraged to pursue their own field experiences. You can begin your search by exploring the VIGH Global Health Opportunities Database. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for additional support and to set up a meeting to plan your experience. Remember, you will need to set goals for your experience, have an on-site mentor, and complete the final written report. See the Field Experience section above for more information.
Is there funding available for travel?
The Certificate in Global Health does not have any funding available. Students are encouraged to explore funding at their host institutions and departments, as well as external sources. View further information about internal and external sources of funding here (VUnetID login required). Be sure to check out the Global Health Education Consortium's "How to Find, Plan, and Fund Your Global Health Opportunity" guide, too.
What is required for the field experience written reflective report?
A final written self-assessment with appendices will serve as the final product. The self-assessment is different than typical academic writing. Students should write in first-person and describe their field experience.

- May include: literature reviews, data analysis reports, strategic plans, policy memos, PowerPoint presentations, survey instruments, training materials, curricula, manuscript drafts, best practice recommendations, grants, etc. If your products are not shareable (e.g., protected interview or survey data, computer programs, databases, etc.), provide a brief description.
- Include a copy or picture of thank you note(s) to your supervisors and/or on-site colleagues.
How does tuition work?
Students are responsible for discussing tuition concerns with their own departments.
Can I propose a course to count towards the certificate if the course does not have a health or global health focus?
Yes. Courses that are not listed as global health courses but do relate global health, low-resource settings, low- and middle-income countries, undeserved populations, economic development, and the like can be considered for certificate credit. Your final deliverable for the course must focus on an aspect of global health (ex: the course is about economic development in low- and middle-income countries and your final deliverable is a literature review on the long-term economic impact of child feeding programs). To have a non-listed global health course be considered for the certificate requirements, please submit this form at least one month before registering for a potential course.
What if I have already taken a global health-related course and I would like it to count towards the certificate?
If the course relates global health, low-resource settings, low- and middle-income countries, undeserved populations, economic development, and the like, and your final deliverable focused on an aspect of global health, you may submit a course proposal for consideration. You will need to upload the course syllabus as well as your final product.
What if I cannot fit either of the global health core courses into my schedule?
Contact Elizabeth Rose (firstname.lastname@example.com) to discuss other options.
