Eastern Illinois University has been designated as a Military Friendly School by GI Jobs Magazine every year since the inception of the award in 2010. Our commitment to supporting veterans, military service members, and military family members is also recognized by EIU being awarded the Illinois Governor's Award for Excellence in Veteran Education for 2012. We are only getting started and will continue to provide dedication and steadfast commitment to our military community.
Consistently ranked in the top third of Midwest universities in its class by U.S. News and World Report, Eastern has earned its reputation by offering a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate programs taught by an experienced and caring faculty. In addition to reasonable tuition, fees, and room and board rates, Eastern offers a textbook rental system, saving the average student hundreds of dollars per semester.
This excellent cost-to-education is demonstrated in that EIU has a lower tuition than the median cost for universities in Illinois, and so veterans coming to Eastern Illinois University would now benefit from the Yellow Ribbon Program!
The Military Student Assistance Center is committed to assisting those who served or are currently serving in the U.S. military, and their family members. We synchronize support with many University departments and services to provide coordinated services and resources in a one-stop location to ensure all military service members are afforded the greatest opportunities for success.
Veterans Benefits (Student Services Building, East Wing) | 217-581-7510 | firstname.lastname@example.com
Veterans and service members receive individualized assistance in completing request forms such as educational and military transcripts and applications for the G.I. Bill, Illinois Veterans Grant, Illinois National Guard Grant, Illinois MIA/POW Scholarship, Federal Tuition Assistance, and Federal Student Aid programs. Additional services may include help with periods of military activation and deployment, obtaining appropriate housing accommodations, requesting military records, and acquiring community living information, outreach services, and health benefits.
Military Student Assistance Center (Thomas Hall, Lower Level) | 217-581-7888 | email@example.com
We provide a single coordination point for student veterans, military personnel, and members of military families and enhance military enrollment, academic and social integration, and future career opportunities in order to support those who have made sacrifices for the state of Illinois and the United States of America.
- Advocate and Ombudsman for student veterans and military personnel at EIU
- Provide a centralized coordination source on benefit programs and services
- Coordinate academic and social programs to enhance opportunities for success
Register with the Eastern Illinois University Military Student Assistance Center if you are a veteran or service member. We want to make sure we provide you with important University services, programs, and updates.
Online degrees have some risks and it is good to do your homework. EIU has several accredited online degrees available. For more information on the importance of an online degree go to http://www.AccreditedOnlinecolleges.org or http://www.affordablecollegesonline.org/spotlight/veterans-education-resources/
A more comprehensive list of services available to all current and future students is available on Eastern's website. In addition, EIU's Public Act 96-0133 Survey is available for public review.

The Party's Over for Big Wind
Thirteen months ago, Denise Bode, the head lobbyist for the American Wind Energy Association, declared that the "U.S. wind industry is in distress."
If last year was bad for the U.S. wind industry, then 2011 is looking to be positively disastrous. A combination of cheap natural gas, growing resistance to wind turbine installations, and the inability of cash-strapped governments to continue hefty subsidies, is taking the wind out of wind.
For AWEA"s minions and hirelings, these facts are truly dangerous. And because of that, they continue to use character assassination on anyone who questions the future of their highly subsidized industry.
But AWEA"s own data shows that the wind industry is becalmed. During the first half of this year, the U.S. installed just 2,151 megawatts of new capacity. That means that 2011 may be even worse for the domestic wind industry than 2010, when U.S. wind generation capacity grew by 5,100 megawatts. And that 2010 total was about half of the 10,010 megawatts added in 2009. Indeed, this year domestic wind additions may be smaller than at anytime since at least 2006.
Let"s start with the most important issue: low-cost natural gas. About three years ago, one of the wind industry"s biggest boosters, T. Boone Pickens, was claiming that natural gas prices had to be at least $9 for wind energy to be competitive. In March 2010, Pickens was still hawking wind energy, but he"d lowered his price threshold saying, "The place where it works best is with natural gas at $7." By January of this year, a chastened Pickens was explaining that you can"t "finance a wind deal unless you have $6 gas."
That may be true, but on the spot market, natural gas now sells for about $4 per million Btu. Today"s relatively low natural gas prices are a direct result of the drilling industry"s new-found prowess at unlocking huge quantities of methane from shale beds. Those lower prices are great for consumers, but terrible for the wind business. And worse yet for the wind business is this: many of the sharpest analysts in the natural gas sector expect low-cost natural gas — that is gas at around $4 — will persist for several years to come.
Local resistance to industrial wind projects is also growing, a fact that AWEA claims is due to "NIMBYs." AWEA"s use of that word is a slur on those who are trying to protect the value of their homes and property against industrial wind projects.
Here"s the reality: the backlash against industrial wind is real, it"s global, and it"s growing. The U.S. has about 170 anti-wind groups. AWEA doesn"t want you to know that a number of towns in New York state have prohibited the construction of industrial wind turbines. In April, the town of Falmouth, Massachusetts enacted a year-long moratorium on construction of new wind turbines. And earlier this month, a pair of environmental groups in Massachusetts called for a ban on new turbines in the state until more work is done on the health effects of wind turbine noise.
The wind lobby is desperate to downplay the problem of infrasound from wind turbines. But this month, in a peer-reviewed article in the Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society, Carl V. Phillips, a Harvard-trained PhD, concludes that there is "overwhelming evidence that wind turbines cause serious health problems in nearby residents, usually stress-disorder type diseases, at a nontrivial rate."
The subsidies for wind energy are in peril. A recent report from the Energy Information Administration shows that in 2010, the wind energy sector got more federal subsidies than any other energy sector other than biofuels. The report found that wind energy got a total of $4.986 billion in subsidies, or nearly twice as much as was given to the oil and gas sector, which got $2.82 billion. The majority of the wind energy money came from the federal stimulus package passed in 2009. But much of that stimulus money has been spent.
Last December, AWEA cheered after Congress approved a tax bill that included a one-year extension of the investment tax credit for renewable energy. But another high-profile renewable energy subsidy, the tax credit for the corn ethanol scam, is due to expire at the end of this year. And given that Republicans in Washington are eager to cut all types of federal spending, the investment tax credit is likely to, once again, be in legislators" cross hairs.
Bode was right a year ago when she said the wind industry is in distress. Her industry"s still in peril today because it cannot survive without mandates and taxpayer subsidies. And unless or until it can, she cannot expect any sympathy from cash-strapped voters.

YA Wk1 D2-2
After making an A Stop, we turned south down the road taking us up the Firehole River. The day had warmed up to -10 by this point which isn't great but still made for some great drama with light and steam. We came around the corner to see this gorgeous view. There was NO WAY we were going to pass up this magnificent offering to the B&W gods!
As I mentioned yesterday, the trick to making steam images I think is to click, click, click. In the case of both of these images, a total of 75 were taken to come up with these two I really like. What is it about them I like? The main subject, the couple of black, predominant trees amongst the rest. Those blacks set the stage for the rest of the shades of gray and white. Then there is the stair step pattern to those shades that is highlighted by the rising steam. The last key to the puzzle is knowing the power of Silver Efex Pro 2 and its Structure slider. It can pull out detail, subtle detail that makes the B&W really zing! What a great second stop to the day!

Response to

A perfect example of very poor journalists now hired by the PC writing about something they themselves don't bother to understand, and the PC itself doesn't bother to edit or even read. The quality of this newspaper has really gone downhill. Must have something to do with our horrible education system.

With Experience Points (XPs), new star levels and progressive reward bonuses, the new program is aimed to continuously reward you for your activity on the community.
Here's an overview of the new program for you.
How do I get XPs to level up?
Every time you play bingo, slots, video poker or any other game at BingoMania you will receive Experience Points (XPs) to level up. The higher your star level, the higher the rewards!

- For every $1 played in video poker, keno, Blackjack & scratch cards you will receive 1 XP
- Experience points will not be awarded on the roulette games.
- Players who are inactive more than 30 consecutive days will drop down an entire star level. For example, if you are inactive and were a level 30 (yellow star) player, your star level will drop to Green.
- You will receive XP points when wagering both cash and bonuses.
- For the launch of the rewards program Cash and Bonus wagers award the same XPs. This is a limited time special as bonus wagers will award less XPs in the future.
What are Progressive Rewards
Every time you play any game at BingoMania you will earn both experience points (XPs) to increase your star level AND you will unlock progressive rewards. These are the cash and bonus rewards!
Remember, the higher your Star Level the BIGGER your progressive rewards will be. So make sure to Level up!

Within each tier, you have at least 6 x progressive funding bonus rewards.
Unlocking Instant Cash & Instant Bonuses

Within each tier, you have at least 6 x instant cash rewards and 6 x instant bonus rewards. Scroll the carousel above to see all the great rewards you can unlock in your current tier.
Notable mentions

- Making a withdrawal will reset your unlocked progressive rewards back to the beginning.
- The order, amounts and the requirements to unlock progressive rewards is subject to change without prior notice.

If you're already a member of, or are thinking about joining an online bingo site like Bingo Mania, you'll want to make sure that there are enough games to prevent you from becoming bored further down the line. Now, we're sure you love to play 75-ball games as much as we do, but if you've yet to dabble in online slots and mini games, you really are missing out on a whole other world of fun.
At some games sites, you can play mini games (which are smaller versions of slots and popular casino card and table games) at the SAME time as you play in your favorite rooms! After all, provided you're using the auto-dab facility to mark off the numbers on your cards, there's really not much concentration required for online bingo until you start closing in on a Full House.
Since we launched the new Bingo Mania blog, we've kind of abandoned Mania Stu and apologize to you.
Given Sunday is Mother's Day (though everyday should be mom's day), we thought you'd enjoy a recap of the events in store for you at Bingo Mania.

Christmas from around the Web
We understand the economy over the past few years has hit some of our beloved members and no other time of the year does the struggle feel harder than the holidays.
I came across this fantastic post earlier today "5 ways to have a richer Christmas" and loved the points.
- Have a season of experiences.
- Shop early
- Turn off your TV
- Help others enjoy Christmas
- Focus on senses
My favorite has to be help others:
Help others enjoy Christmas. Does your family volunteer during the holidays? This year, look into the multiple ways to give back during the season. Serve a meal at a homeless shelter, adopt a family, ring the bell for the Salvation Army or walk dogs at the animal shelter. If there is a busy mom that needs a break, watch her kids so she can get her shopping done. Make Christmas cookies while they're visiting. Sing carols at the nursing home. This dark time of year needs people to brighten the world, not just lights.
There you have it – hope you enjoy the 12 Days of Christmas and your weekend.
p.s. only 12 days remaining to the up coming $100,000 bingo game.

Now that he's done cooking meth and fielding rumors about playing Lex Luthor, Bryan Cranston will return to "How I Met Your Mother" to play Ted Mosby's psychotic boss Hammond Druthers, CBS reports.
According to Us Weekly, the "Breaking Bad" actor is slated for one episode, which will begin shooting soon.
During the show's second season, Cranston played Ted Mosby's (Josh Radnor) boss in multiple episodes in 2006. His character was an unlikable, half-crazed bully. As you may remember, when Lily (Alyson Hannigan) stole his prized baseball that was signed three times by Pete Rose, Hammond promised to fire three people every hour until it was returned.
The show's final season takes place during the weekend leading up to Barney and Robin's wedding, and producers Carter Bays and Craig Thomas have promised the return of lots of familiar faces and payoffs of unanswered questions.

Changes are ahead in the natural gas drilling boom in this region of the country, analysts say. And West Virginia may be well-positioned to take advantage of them.
It did not take long after the Legislature adopted a package of new gas drilling regulations earlier this month for the industry to take notice. As we predicted, the new rules may give West Virginia an advantage over other states.
The Marcellus Shale geologic formation underlies parts of West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. But the Keystone State got an early start in capitalizing on the boom. More than 3,000 gas wells already have been drilled there, compared to a few hundred in our state. New York has allowed environmental radicals to stall gas drilling there. And Ohio is just now beginning to consider a new regulatory framework to cope with the drilling boom, while Pennsylvania officials ponder changes.
Because of the new rules in this state, "I think West Virginia will probably be in a situation where there's more certainty," commented Kathryn Klaber, president of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group.
Business people love little as much as regulatory certainty. West Virginia seems to be offering it to gas drillers.
Other factors come into play in determining whether the drilling boom will intensify in the Mountain State, of course. Gas prices are the chief determinant.
Again, however, state legislators may well have given West Virginians an advantage in competing for new gas exploration and drilling. As long as the rules also protect property owners, the environment and residents of areas where drilling takes place, that is a very good thing.

2007: It Was Obama's Vote That Killed Immigration Reform…Added Amendment Into 2007's Bill That Allowed Illegals To Keep Their Jobs (After Being Labeled 'Not Employable') Until All Appeals Were Over
Once again I ask: Where the hell is the media?
Bob Novak (JUNE 14, 2007) WASHINGTON — Democrat Byron Dorgan, who seldom has tasted legislative success during 15 years in the Senate, scored a dubious victory last week. He was able to insert a poison pill in the immigration reform bill that aimed at emasculating the essential guest worker program. The 49 to 48 vote that passed Dorgan's amendment included surprising support from two prominent first-term senators: Jim DeMint, a conservative Republican from South Carolina, and Barack Obama, a Democratic presidential candidate from Illinois.
Dorgan pushed his killer amendment by voicing the Great Plains populism of his home state of North Dakota, but the measure was the product of organized labor. DeMint, normally counted on to oppose anything with the union label, voted for the Dorgan amendment admittedly for the sole purpose of killing the immigration bill. Obama's vote was even more surprising, considering his participation in the closed-door bipartisan drafting of the immigration compromise that actually had secured a major change.
The Dorgan amendment is a classic poison pill: designed to kill, not improve, the bill. Its passage makes resurrection of immigration reform all the more difficult. Decisive votes by DeMint and Obama were not appreciated by the bipartisan group that had crafted the bargain intended to secure America's borders while permitting an orderly flow of temporary workers.
Dorgan in Senate debate did not disguise the origin of his amendment, reading into the record endorsements by labor leaders. However, as one of the Senate's non-stop talkers wedded to class struggle rhetoric, Dorgan tried to make the nation's unprecedented prosperity seem like the depths of the Great Depression. "As long as there are employers who are willing to put downward pressure on income for American workers," he declared, "we are going to see people at the bottom of the economic ladder in this country continuing to struggle."
That did not sit well with Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, principal Democratic sponsor of the compromise. Asserting that "the chicken pluckers" will not "pay $10 or $15 an hour" for homegrown employees, Kennedy asked: "Who is the senator from North Dakota trying to fool?" The liberal lion of the Senate roared that Dorgan "doesn't care more about American workers than I do."
Teddy Kennedy had no trouble disobeying labor's marching orders by voting against Dorgan, but only 10 other Democratic senators had the courage to follow that course.
Sen. Hillary Clinton, the presidential front-runner, as expected walked the union line. Obama's vote for the poison pill was unexpected because he had participated, uninvited, one time in the bipartisan negotiating process. He had demanded and won a provision permitting immigrants to stay on the job after being designated "not employable" by the government under the new system until their appeals were exhausted. Obama's support for the Dorgan amendment then infuriated Republicans in the negotiating group who had opposed the concession to the presidential candidate.
DeMint was but one of 10 Republicans who went with organized labor's killer amendment, but he was special for two reasons. First, when an earlier version of the Dorgan amendment lost 49 to 48, DeMint voted the other way. Second, DeMint openly admitted he changed his vote only to kill the bill.

Li Sheng (Three Kingdoms)
|This article does not cite any sources. (August 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Li Sheng (李勝: died 249) was an official of the Cao Wei. His style name is Gongzhao(公昭). He was the son of Li Xiu(李休).
During the last period of the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE), Li Sheng's father, Li Xiu, served Zhang Lu of the Hanzhong region and there was a time that he requested Zhang Lu to ascend the throne. After Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao in 215, Li Xiu became a feudal lord of Cao Cao.
When he was young, he went to the capital to study, and there he was known as having elegance and being sagacity. Having intimite relationships with Cao Shuang and Xiahou Xuan (209-254), he became a member of a group named as four sages and eight masters (四聡八達). However Emperor Cao Rui expelled the members of the group from the office as Cao Rui thought the group is of flatulent, frivolous and fruitless. After Cao Rui died in 239, as Cao Shuang was selected as a regent of the newly enthronded and child Emperor Cao Fang, Cao Shuang entered the scene. Cao Shuang became 県令 of Luoyang(洛陽) also.
In 244, Cao Shuang and Xiahou Xuan made a plan of attacking Shu Han, and Li Sheng concurred with it and was appointed Chief Clerk (長史) by the General Who Attacks the West (征西將軍) Xiahou Xuan. However their military action resulted in a disaster, and for this reason Sima Yi got a bad feeling about Li Sheng.
He was appointed as Administrator of Xingyang (滎陽太守) and Intendant of Henan (河南尹). When he was Intendant of Henan (河南尹), it is said that he gained temporary fame by liberalizing the laws and rules compared to the strict rules of his preceding officer Liu Jing (劉靖). One year after, there were bad omens. He was appointed as Inspector of Jing Province (荊州刺史). Since according to the tradition of Han Dynasty, one must not be appointed to the Inspector of his hometown, Li Sheng's appointment was an irregular one.
In 248, Cao Shuang bade Li Sheng to inform Sima Yi about his appointment of Inspector of Jing Province and to check Sima Yi's health condition at the same time. Inveigled by Sima Yi's play, Li Sheng made a conclusion that Sima Yi was a real patient, reported Cao Shuang that Sima Yi would not be a threat any longer. According to the Records of the End of Wei (魏末傳), it is said that as Sima Yi played a patient with dementia, Li Sheng burst into tears.
In 249, before Li Sheng came into the office of Inspector of Jing Province, Sima Yi launched a coup d'état, and Cao Shung surrendered to Sima Yi. Members of Cao Shuang's faction were arrested on charges of treason and they all were executed. Li Sheng was one of them.

I finally got 20 potholders finished for Homespun (only the greatest indie handmade goods store ever)... you wouldn't think potholders would take that long, but when they're each basically a different mini-quilt, it takes a while.
I'm seriously tempted to keep this one, though: the Heather Ross horses in the upper left (and also her matryoshka dolls in the bottom right), a little navy and chartreuse, vintage and Japanese fabrics... this one is calling out to me.
Homespun might only get 19.

Background: Statins have uncertain benefits in persons with chronic kidney disease (CKD) because individual trials may have insufficient power to determine whether treatment effects differ with severity of CKD.
Purpose: To summarize the benefits and harms of statin therapy for adults with CKD and examine whether effects of statins vary by stage of kidney disease.
Data Sources: Cochrane and EMBASE databases (inception to February 2012).
Study Selection: Randomized trials comparing the effects of statins with placebo, no treatment, or another statin on mortality and cardiovascular outcomes.
Data Extraction: Two independent reviewers extracted data and assessed risk of bias.
Data Synthesis: Eighty trials comprising 51 099 participants compared statin with placebo or no treatment. Treatment effects varied with stage of CKD. Moderate- to high-quality evidence indicated that statins reduced all-cause mortality (relative risk [RR], 0.81 [95% CI, 0.74 to 0.88]), cardiovascular mortality (RR, 0.78 [CI, 0.68 to 0.89]), and cardiovascular events (RR, 0.76 [CI, 0.73 to 0.80]) in persons not receiving dialysis. Moderate- to high-quality evidence indicated that statins had little or no effect on all-cause mortality (RR, 0.96 [CI, 0.88 to 1.04]), cardiovascular mortality (RR, 0.94 [CI, 0.82 to 1.07]), or cardiovascular events (RR, 0.95 [CI, 0.87 to 1.03]) in persons receiving dialysis. Effects of statins in kidney transplant recipients were uncertain. Statins had little or no effect on cancer, myalgia, liver function, or withdrawal from treatment, although adverse events were evaluated systematically in fewer than half of the trials.
Limitation: There was a reliance on post hoc subgroup data for earlier stages of CKD.
Conclusion: Statins decrease mortality and cardiovascular events in persons with early stages of CKD, have little or no effect in persons receiving dialysis, and have uncertain effects in kidney transplant recipients.
Primary Funding Source: None.

The Politics of Dining
Toki Underground
Mr. Plantain is a ramen fiend. He loves ramen the way that I love ma po tofu and fried chicken. I can tell you, that's a lot of love. He happily slurped his way through many bowls in Japan, which included a train ride just to visit the Yokohama ramen museum (a food court made up of some of the best ramen shops in the country). And, every time we visit NYC, we always make time to hit Ippudo and Totto Ramen. So, it's very exciting that the ramen trend has finally trickled down to DC.
The order: pan-fried pork dumplings, Taiwanese-style cold tofu, hakata classic ramen, and kimchi hakata ramen. The pork dumplings were nice and juicy on the inside and cooked well; I liked them, overall, but thought they could have been a bit more flavorful. The cold tofu came as two thin slices of tofu covered with sauce, green onions, and a mound of bonito flakes. We both agreed that this was our favorite dish, with an interesting and balanced combination of flavors, though the portion was very small.
Most importantly, the ramen. The noodles had some bite to them, which was good. The chashu was tasty and melting, but sliced so thinly that the melting meat blended a bit too much into the broth. The greens were very flavorful and different. There was a sprinkling of pickled ginger and there were definitely bites where the ginger flavor strongly overpowered everything else. Our biggest quibble was with the broth. The broth had a pleasant flavor, but tasted watered-down and soupy. We found ourselves wanting a concentrated flavor and a broth with more body, complexity, and porkiness. Overall, it's a decent tasting bowl of noodles, but does not satisfy a ramen craving.
Too bad, because despite a wait of over an hour, we really enjoyed the vibe and look of Toki Underground. We know that Toki is still tinkering with things a bit since it opened recently. We hope that they work with the broth a bit; DC needs great ramen.

text: Frank Cody, the man the New York Times declared "the father of Smooth Jazz," possesses an impressive track record in the entertainment industry that spans over forty years. In that time he has served as an executive at both NBC and ABC as well as several major Rock stations, produced countless enter-tainment specials, and in a very real sense has helped to design and shape the sound of modern American radio. Frank is a tremendously creative talent who brings a warm, people-oriented energy and spirit to all his endeavors. His programming successes began in Los Angeles at ABC's KLOS, and later at KBPI-Denver where he took the station from eighth to first place in less than one year. In 1986, Metromedia brought Cody back to L.A. where he guided the development of The WAVE format, now known as Smooth Jazz. In January of 1988, Cody founded Broadcast Architecture, the Princeton-based research/ consulting firm serving the radio, television and entertainment industries, with a wide range of clients in North America, South America, Japan, and Europe including Clear Channel, CBS Infinity, ABC, Viacom/MTV Networks, RTL and FM Japan. His exhaustive research, analysis and interpretation of what resonates with the music-buying public helped make Smooth Jazz the most successful new adult format in the past 20 years. In 2002 Cody joined music industry veteran Hyman Katz, and multiple Grammy nominee and RIAA Certified Gold recording artist, Dave Koz to co-found Rendezvous Entertainment. The entertainment magazine Radio and Records declares "Record Label of the Year nominee, Rendezvous Entertainment has the highest hits-to-releases ratio of any company around." Rendezvous was acquired by Mack Avenue Records, Inc. in 2008.

After a Golden Age of Sales, What Next for Hyundai's U.S. Chief?
In 2003 Hyundai was in the midst of a huge turnaround, bouncing from near-dead in the U.S. auto market to become one of its fastest growing companies. Then it pushed out its U.S. chief, Finbarr O'Neill, who was largely credited with the rebound.
In 2013, events at the South Korean automaker seem to be repeating themselves, with the surprise announcement Friday that U.S. CEO John Krafcik, who is credited with leading Hyundai through its golden era in America, would be leaving at the end of the year.
It's still unclear if he jumped – perhaps to a big job at another automaker — or was pushed. The company said his contract was up and wasn't renewed. Mr. Krafcik, 52, didn't respond to e-mail and phone messages.
If he was pushed out, it would follow form for Hyundai, which went through three top executives between Mr. O'Neill and Mr. Krafcik, when he took the helm in 2008. When he took the job, he was asked whether he was concerned about being the next executive to get ground up and spit out.
"We as a company have looked back and have a better understanding," he said in an interview with trade publication Automotive News.
But Mr. Krafcik seemed different than the others. Under his U.S. leadership, the brand nearly doubled its sales.
Moreover, he became a star in the industry. Friendly, funny and witty, he endeared himself to the automotive press and other companies. In 2011, he was starting to get contacted by headhunters about top jobs at major automakers — jobs that weren't open at the time.
He was intrigued, but he already had a great gig. He lived in Southern California near family. His wife is a doctor and a move to Michigan — or elsewhere — would uproot her practice.
And Hyundai was doing exceptionally well. Sales had exploded, and in 2009, during the worst of the downturn, Hyundai launched a marketing campaign that let buyers give back their cars if they lost their jobs. It was a huge hit — one that was copied by General Motors.
Hyundai followed it with great cars, including the redesigned Sonata in 2010 and then the Elantra in 2011. Both were hits.
And perhaps no company benefited more from the tsunami and earthquake in Japan in 2011, as Hyundai picked up market share lost by the Japanese companies because of supply constraints. Hyundai ended 2011 with a 5.1% U.S. market share, its highest ever.
But things have gotten more difficult since. Hyundai's U.S. plants are working at capacity and there are no known plans to build a new one. Hyundai's growth abroad has also taxed supply from Korea, leaving the company with limited vehicles to sell. As the U.S. market grew, Hyundai's sales seemed stuck at its supply-limited ceiling.
The car maker also went through a damaging PR situation in 2012 when it had to restate mileage for almost a third of the cars it sold between 2010-2012.
It may be that Mr. Krafcik has finally gotten an offer he wants and decided not to renew his contract. Or it could be that his Korean bosses aren't into excuses for why the company's market share has declined.
Either way, Mr. Krafcik is very likely to be employed in a top job in the auto industry very soon.

Monte Poole's column incorrectly reported that Tuesday's practice was the first for Richard Seymour under the Oakland Raiders' new coaching staff. Seymour participated in three April workouts that were closed to the media.
Defensive lineman Tommy Kelly has been in the NFL for eight seasons, all with the Raiders, who in that time have lost 87 of 128 games.
Quarterback Carson Palmer has started a combined 106 games in Cincinnati and Oakland, and he has a 50-56 record.
Safety Michael Huff has been a Raider for six seasons, during which the team has lost two of every three games (32-64).
Three quality performers with a cumulative 22 seasons in the league, and the only two winning seasons were Palmer's Bengals in 2005 and 2009.
Such is the brutal recent history behind some of Oakland's notable veterans, the naked truth laid bare before first-year head coach Dennis Allen. His quest is to generate faith from a group of professionals whose experience consists mostly of failure. And if he can't work this mental magic quickly enough he'll be out of a job.
"It's the most critical thing that we're doing; I think it's the most critical thing in all of football," Allen said Tuesday, after his team's first full-squad workout. "The mind is the most powerful muscle in the body. You can make yourself do things that, as long as you set your mind to it, people might ordinarily think can't be accomplished. The mindset is everything."
A key component of Allen's adjustments officially began Tuesday when every healthy player jogged onto the practice field for the first full-squad workout under the new staff.
The three-day minicamp, which is mandatory, unlike previous organized team activities, offers the final on-field preparations before the opening of training camp late next month. Pleasantries are dropped and everyone's eyes come open, for better or worse.
"What you say, what you do, how you act -- coaches and players -- we're all being evaluated," Allen said. "They're evaluating us, and we're evaluating them."
Allen and rookie general manager Reggie McKenzie are attempting the most dramatic culture change in Raiders history after Al Davis, the late former owner, unilaterally presided over the franchise for nearly 50 years.
This, then, is not only about a new management but also an entirely new process, requiring every coach and certainly every player to be open-minded and engaged.
"That's what it's all about," Allen said. "We spend a lot of time talking about the mindset, how we're going to play the game and mental toughness. We talk way more about mental toughness than physical toughness because all of us play the game physically. It's the mental part that we have to push through."
We've seen the recent Raiders teams, seen them enough to know that talent alone can collapse under a heap of mental and physical errors. That speed alone can be slowed. That size alone can be neutralized. That youth alone can be exploited.
Allen seems to understand dedication to task and intelligent confidence are, above all other characteristics, at the foundation of every winning organization.
He used this approach as a rookie defensive coordinator last season in Denver, and the Broncos responded. After finishing dead last among NFL teams in total defense in 2010, they rose to 20th in 2011.
If there is one Raider familiar with a winning mentality, it's defensive lineman Richard Seymour. In his first eight seasons, in New England, the Patriots were 97-31 -- with four Super Bowl appearances and three championships.
During Seymour's three seasons in Oakland, the Raiders are 21-27.
Seymour was encouraged by what he saw when he came out to meet the staff a few months ago. Those feelings continue to grow.
"They're really smart guys that understand the game," Seymour said after Tuesday's workout. "They understand what they want and they do a good job of teaching how to get it done. That's a quality that's overlooked in the NFL. Even though you (might) have talented athletes, you still need to teach them what to do and how to do it."
Seymour's point is that communication has improved. Details are being stressed. A message is being delivered that will be fully received only by those willing to adapt and commit, particularly mentally, and be held accountable.
"Those are the guys you win with in the fourth quarter," Seymour said. "They're going to be where they're supposed to be. They're going to do exactly what you need them to do. You can't baby-sit anybody, but we want to lead by example."
Seymour has to be first among those guys. He knows it. Allen implies it.
"To have success ... your veteran players have to be able to take over the team," Allen said. "The closer we can get our veteran players' vision of what this team is going to become -- to what we as coaches believe -- the better and more cohesive we'll be."
The "scholarship program" under Davis has ended. A movement is afoot. It'll be a few months before we can truly begin to measure its success, but the job is massive and a lot of bad habits must be broken.

Any win against a very good Roma side, i and any other supporter of any club would take.

Point being you made fun of other teams for not delivering an entertaining performance, and only going for a result. But now your not capable of a entertaining, its only about the result. Can't have it both ways.

Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa
- Air Date:
- 86 year-old Irving Zisman is on a journey across America with the most unlikely companions, his 8 year-old Grandson Billy in "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa." This October, the signature Jackass character Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) and Billy (Jackson Nicoll) will take movie audiences along for the most insane hidden camera road trip ever captured on camera. Along the way Irving will introduce the young and impressionable Billy to people, places and situations that give new meaning to the term childrearing. The duo will encounter male strippers, disgruntled child beauty pageant contestants (and their equally disgruntled mothers), funeral home mourners, biker bar patrons and a whole lot of unsuspecting citizens. Real people in unreal situations, making for one really messed up comedy.

Nephrology and Hypertension
School of Medicine > Internal Medicine > Nephrology > Fellowship Program > Training and Curriculum
School of Medicine > Internal Medicine > Nephrology > Fellowship Program > Training and Curriculum
The clinical training program is divided among five services:
1. University Consult Service at KUMC: three to four months a year
The Nephrology Consult Service performs most of the adult nephrology consultations in KU Hospital. The service is divided into A and B services staffed by two faculty and two fellows. The service is weighted toward acute kidney injury, and fluid and electrolyte disorders in patients in the medical and surgical intensive care units. Fellows learn to manage a broad spectrum of kidney disorders in critically ill patients with cardiac disease, liver failure, post-solid organ and bone marrow transplant and multi-organ failure. They have ample opportunity to get hands-on experience at acute hemodialysis, continuous venovenous hemofiltration, hemodialysis catheter placement and kidney biopsies.
2. Inpatient Transplant Service: one to two months a year
The Inpatient Service at KU hospital takes primary responsibility for the care of patients receiving kidney transplants as well as transplant recipients readmitted for medical complications. We perform more than 100 kidney transplants per year. Fellows learn acute management of post-op transplant patients, dosing of immunosuppressive medications, and the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic rejection, opportunistic infections, and other complications. They learn to interface closely with the transplant surgical team and with various consult services, including infectious diseases. In addition, the Inpatient Service admits hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients that require inpatient care, including fluid, infectious and vascular access complications. On this service, the fellow supervises and teaches 2-3 internal medicine residents who have primary responsibility for admissions, discharges and the day-to-day care of patients.
3. Outpatient Transplant Service: one to two months a year
On the Outpatient Transplant Service at KU, nephrology fellows learn pre-transplant donor and recipient evaluation and post-transplant care of patients with kidney, simultaneous pancreas-kidney and simultaneous liver-kidney transplant patients in the clinic setting. They also participate in regular multidisciplinary meetings in which individual patients are presented and discussed in detail.
4. Outpatient Dialysis Service: one to two months a year
On the Outpatient Dialysis Service, fellows round daily in the University's 40-station outpatient dialysis unit located nearby the hospital. The emphasis of the rotation is on learning to evaluate and manage patients undergoing in-center hemodialysis including managing dialysis prescriptions, hematologic and bone mineral parameters, and handling infectious and vascular access complications. Fellows attend a weekly home dialysis clinic where we follow 24 patients who receive home hemodialysis and continuous ambulatory or cycling peritoneal dialysis. Fellows receive education in water treatment, dialysis machine operation, and are trained in cannulating hemodialysis accesses and performing peritoneal exchanges. They actively participate in multidisciplinary patient evaluations, and in the quality improvement activities of the dialysis unit.
5. Kansas City Veteran's Affairs Hospital: three to four months a year
At the KCVA, fellows participate in the full spectrum of clinical nephrology services, including inpatient consult-based care, outpatient general nephrology clinic, outpatient chronic hemodialysis and an outpatient peritoneal dialysis clinic. Fellows gain ample exposure to veteran patients with hypertension, vascular diseases and chronic kidney disease.
Continuity Clinic Outpatient ExperienceThe continuity clinics for the nephrology fellows at KU Medical Center have been designed so that each fellow is paired with an attending physician and participates in their clinic for a half-day per week for the entirety of their fellowship training. In this way, the fellow can follow the same group of patients throughout. Clinical skills are developed through feedback from the attending physician. The clinics are structured such that the fellow sees a wide variety of patients including those with acute and chronic kidney diseases, refractory hypertension, proteinuria, hematuria, electrolyte abnormalities, acid-base disturbances, cystic diseases, nephrolithiasis, and renal abnormalities associated with other medical illnesses such as end-stage liver disease, lupus and multiple myeloma. Due to the chronicity of many diseases seen in these clinics, most patients will be seen in follow-up several times per year by the same fellow.
