Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $99 + tax
A very well made, surprisingly versatile daypack that carries well with average loads.
- Simplicity of the design
- Comfort with moderate loads
- A useful range of adjustibility
- Small patch pockets on lower back are tight
- Interior lining is a bit thin for my taste
I needed something smaller than my TNF Exocet for general use.
The Sketch handles a 15.6" LT with no problem, the inside mesh pocket takes the charging cord/mouse easily.
It carried 6 full size hardback books without strain as well.
The outside patch pockets are not that useful and hard to get into, but good for small items.
The left side slash pocket is better suited to phones/sunglasses and etc.
The comfort is surprising for such a small daypack.
It was an end of season buy, else I would have gotten a 28-30 liter daypack instead
The overall quality is very good, but it's a Gregory so that is to be expected.
The nice thing is the clean shape and no garish horrid colors/logos like O***** and J*******... (black w/light blue trim/lining)
For what it was designed for I will rate it as being very good.
Gregory Sketch 22
$59.95 - $99.00
The Gregory Sketch 22 is not available from the stores we monitor. It was last seen December 16, 2015 at SunnySports.

Nintendo 2DS
Nintendo 2DS review - now just £70 with a game
Screen sizes: 3.53in (800x240) and 3in (400x240), Dimensions (WxDxH): 144x127x20mm, Weight: 260g, Analogue sticks: 1, D-pads: 1, Networking: 802.11b/g
After the huge success of the DS Lite, a budget version of Nintendo's popular 3DS handheld console was all but guaranteed. However, few expected it to come in the form of the 2DS. As the name suggests, the glasses-free 3D that made the 3DS so unique has been removed, letting you play 3DS games in plain old 2D.
This may seem like a step backwards, but the console's simplified design allows it to be sold for much less, and its robust plastic chassis makes it far more suitable for younger audiences - particularly those aged six years and under who were originally warned off using the console's glasses-free 3D due to health concerns.
Game bundles and price
The 2DS is now cheaper than ever, too, making it a great buy for your kids. Tesco is currently selling the blue and black version with Mario Kart 7 pre-installed on the console for just £70. That's an incredible bargain. You can also pick one up for £80 direct from Nintendo which includes a protective case and either a copy of the quirky Tomodachi Life, or one of several Pokemon games. You'll need to pay a bit more if you want a different console bundle, such as the £85 Super Mario Bros 2 pack, or £96 for Luigi's Mansion 2, but that's still incredible value if you don't want to pay top price for a New 3DS or New 3DS XL.
Even better, Nintendo has just added over 100 demos to the 2DS's online eShop store so you can try out games for free. Highlights include Super Smash Bros, Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and Nintendogs +Cats. There are also several free-to-start games available too, such as the excellent puzzle game Fullblox and Pokemon Rumble World. These games don't cost anything to download initially, but do require in-game purchases if you want to play more of the game. Fullblox is perhaps the best example of this, as you can buy additional puzzle packs to suit your skill level or buy them all in a bundle for a slightly lower cost than buying them individually. If you're an avid puzzle fan, it's well worth a look.
The loss of the clamshell hinge will come as a blow to fans of the original 3DS design, but its new wedge shape is surprisingly comfortable to hold. The bottom corners sit snugly in the centre of your palms and the Circle Pad and ABXY buttons are perfectly positioned to lie directly underneath your thumb. Likewise, the trigger buttons are now much easier to reach than before as they lie more naturally underneath your index fingers compared to the cramp-inducing shape of the original 3DS.
Admittedly, the matt plastic chassis is a far cry from the sleek contours of Nintendo's previous budget handheld, the gorgeous DS Lite, but it's far more suited to being thrown around in a backpack than other members of the 3DS family. We always thought the 3DS was a little fragile to carry around in our bag without a case, but we have no such qualms about the 2DS's tough exterior.
The top screen is also protected by a tough plastic cover that sits flush to the console. The only vulnerable part of the 2DS then is the lower touchscreen. This has to be left exposed in order to use it, but special cases are available (£10 from Amazon) if you're worried about it getting scratched. Losing the clamshell also means there's no lid to automatically put the console into sleep mode, so Nintendo's included a new slider on the bottom right corner of the console to turn the screens off if you have to stop mid-game. It doesn't quite match the convenience of snapping the lid shut on the 3DS, but it's a decent work-around.
Otherwise, the 2DS is very similar to its 3D counterparts. It has the same screen dimensions and resolution as the original 3DS (800x240 on the top 3.53in screen and 320x240 on the lower 3in touchscreen), so games play exactly the same on each one, and it's backwards compatible with Nintendo's entire DS catalogue as well.
With no hinge to get in the way, there's now a smaller gap between the two displays; plus the Circle Pad, D-pad and ABXY buttons have all been elevated to the centre of the console. The Start and Select buttons now have their own dedicated buttons as well on the right hand side above the power button, while the Home button remains in the centre along the bottom. Sadly, the 2DS only has one speaker compared to the stereo speakers found on the 3DS and 3DS XL, but you can still get stereo sound by plugging in a pair of headphones.
The stylus is located to the right, mirroring its position on the 3DS XL. It's a little slimmer and taller than the 3DS XL stylus, making it a little easier and more comfortable to hold, but it doesn't quite match the full height of the extending 3DS stylus.
Oddly, the 2DS still has the 3DS's twin 0.3 megapixel cameras on the outside of the lid. This means you can still take 3D photos, but you'll only be able to view them in 3D if you export them to another 3DS or 3DS XL. The camera on the inside of the 2DS hasn't changed either, so you can still take amusing self-portraits and doodle on them afterwards.
The built-in gyroscopes come into their own on the 2DS, as there's no stereoscopic 3D sweet-spot to worry about on the top screen. We didn't have to move our head along with the console when games like the pre-installed Face Raiders required us to look around our environment, and its viewing angles were excellent. It's still quite reflective to look at in direct sunlight, but it's no worse than an ordinary 3DS.
With no 3D to drain the battery life you'll also be able to play your games for longer between charges, this is due to the increased screen brightness required for the 3D effect. We managed just over five hours of continuous play in Pokemon Y, but games that involve heavy use of the touchscreen will drain it faster. Sadly, the 2DS doesn't come with a charging cradle like the original 3DS, but at least there's a power adapter included in the box. Bizarrely, 3DS XL owners had to buy this separately for around £7.
Wi-Fi, Miiverse, Streetpass and Spotpass
Like the 3DS before it, the 2DS has built-in wireless, allowing you to play multiplayer games locally and online. There's also a web browser available on the main home screen, which you can jump into any time, even when you're in the middle of playing a game. It's not particularly fast, but it's quite handy to have on hand if you want to quickly look something up while playing a game.
The Wii U's Miiverse feature has also been added to Nintendo's handheld consoles. Provided you have a Nintendo Network ID (which you'll need if you want to buy any digital titles from the Nintendo eShop), Miiverse is Nintendo's Twitter-esque social network which lets you share screenshots and comments with other players around the world. Each community is tied to a specific game, but you can star your favourites so you don't lose track of them. We don't think the 2DS (or 3DS)'s small screens work quite as well in Miiverse as the Wii U's GamePad, but the ability to draw your own doodles using the stylus instead of simply typing out comments is still one of our favourite features.
The main reason why you'll want to leave wireless communications on, though, is for the 2DS's Streetpass and Spotpass features. Spotpass will automatically download new content when you connect to a wireless hotspot, such as new Nintendo Direct announcements, eShop offers or exclusive in-game content. Streetpass, on the other hand, will detect other 2DS and 3DS consoles when the console's in sleep mode and exchange information with other players. This ranges from Mii avatars which go on to populate your Mii Plaza to game-specific Streetpass content such as special items and ghost race track times from Mario Kart. A small light above the ABXY buttons will notify you when you've exchanged information, but you can always disable the wireless communication in the System Settings if you prefer.
Home Themes
If you don't like the 2DS's grey and white default home menu, you can now buy and download other Nintendo-themed home menus from the special home eShop menu. Just tap the new settings button in the top left corner of the home screen and hit 'change theme' and you'll be presented with a huge array of different colours and specially-designed game wallpapers. There are a couple of free ones available, but most you'll have to buy - although at £1.79 for the most, so they'll hardly break the bank.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Hooters opened its doors for its Grand Opening Monday to find a line of more than 100 people waiting outside.
People stood out in the cold for hours and created a line that wrapped around the parking lot, all because Hooters was giving away free hot winds for a year to the first 100 people in line.
Not everyone who showed up got free wings because more than 100 people were in line, but there were still a number of door prizes.
The restaurant has a covered patio, full oyster bar and 18 big screen TVs.
And, if you order up Coors Light, Hooters will donate some of the proceeds to St. Jude Children's Hospital.

Nearly 14,000 deer harvested in Vermont in 2012The Associated Press | January 17,2013MONTPELIER - The state Fish and Wildlife Department says Vermont deer hunters successfully harvested nearly 14,000 deer in 2012, a 14 percent increase over the previous year.
The totals reflect archery, youth, rifle and muzzleloader harvests.
Officials say last winter's relatively mild weather and shallow snow depths likely contributed to this fall's elevated deer harvest.
The low availability of traditional food sources such as apple orchards and beech and oak stands this past summer and fall also resulted in deer changing their movement patterns.
The department says one of the biggest increases was in archery, which rose 25 percent, to 3,384 deer.MORE IN This Just In

When someone signs up, the password is created for them, and they receive an email with their new password, and are unable to log in until this occurs, kind of like these support forums.
How do I set it up so the blog itself generates a password for each user to signs up, and auto emails them the password?

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Two Iowa men whom police say planned a mass shooting at the Pokémon World Championships in Boston were ordered held without bail Monday. A dangerousness hearing is set for Sept. 1.
Kevin Norton, 18, and James Stumbo, 27, who were invited to participate in the weekend tournament, were arrested Saturday on firearms charges after police were alerted to alleged threats they'd made to the event through social media.
"We can never read someone's mind," The Boston Globe quotes Police Superintendent Paul A. Fitzgerald as saying. "What we can read is what they were saying and the actions that they took, bringing the weapons they were showing online as a threat."
Two Iowa men who traveled to Boston to play in the Pokémon World Championships were arrested Saturday on firearms charges after police, alerted that the pair had made "threats of violence over social media," discovered guns and ammunition in their car.
James Stumbo, 27, and Kevin Norton, 18, were invited to play in the "masters division" of the championships, held over the weekend at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. On Wednesday, Stumbo allegedly posted a photo (below) of two guns on the trunk of a car to the Mayhem Pokemon Crew Facebook page, with the message, "Kevin Norton and I are ready for worlds Boston here we come!!!" When another poster wished them "Good luck," Stumbo responded, "With killing the competition?"
Conventions | With the long-planned expansion of the San Diego Convention Center stalled indefinitely, the Los Angeles Times offers an overview of efforts to keep Comic-Con International in the city past 2016, and what suitors like Los Angeles and Anaheim, California, have to offer. "The proposals we've received are pretty amazing," says Comic-Con spokesman David Glanzer. "It's not an easy decision." However, the San Diego Tourism Authority remains confident that convention organizers will sign a deal — possibly with a month — to remain in the city through 2018, based on an agreement for nearby hotels to offer their meeting space for Comic-Con programming. (The Tourism Authority has already asked hotels in the Comic-Con room block to freeze their rates at 2015 levels for the next two years.) [Los Angeles Times]
It's deja vu all over again for the Diamond Gem Awards: Voted on by comics retailers, the winners this year look a lot like the 2013 lineup, with Image Comics and BOOM! Studios once again taking honors as top publishers in their divisions. Marvel was named top dollar publisher, DC Comics as top backlist publisher and Viz Media as top manga publisher — just like in 2012 and 2013.
The first issue of the widely acclaimed Ms. Marvel was honored as comic book of the year in the under $3 division, and Thor #1 was the choice among pricier comics. The Amazing Spider-Man #1 brought in the most dollars, however. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic was named the best all-ages comic of the year, Batman: Earth One took the honors as best original graphic novel, and Box Brown's Andre the Giant was the best indie comic.
In terms of who got what, DC Comics won seven awards, Marvel won six and Dark Horse won three, including best anthology for Dark Horse Presents, another three-peat.
Here's the full list of winners:
Creators | A U.K. researcher argues that Marie Duval was the real creative force behind the wildly popular 19th-century British comic Ally Sloper, which is largely credited to her husband Charles Ross. Duval, the pen name of French cartoonist Emilie de Tessier, drew the character at the height of his popularity in the 1860s and '70s, but historian David Kunzle now questions what role Ross actually played in his creation. [The Guardian]
Commentary | Chase Magnett pushes back on Chris Suellentrop's statement, made in a column about GamerGate, that comics are "a medium that has never outgrown its reputation for power fantasies and is only very occasionally marked by transcendent work (Maus, or the books of Chris Ware) that demands that the rest of the culture pay attention to it." [Comicbook.com]
Comics | Vincent Zurzolo of Metropolis Collectibles explains why he and his partner Stephen Fishler were willing to pay a record $3.2 million last month for a pristine copy of Action Comics #1: "We feel very confidently this was a good price and that we will be able to sell this for a profit. We really believe in the strength of the comic book market and that it has a long way to go." Zurzolo also talks about how he built up his business, starting out selling comics at conventions at the age of 15. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Legal | More trouble for Square Enix over the gamer manga Hi Score Girl: Publication was suspended last month following allegations the series, which runs in the Japanese magazine Monthly Big Gangan, had used characters owned by the game company SNK Playmore without permission. Now it turns out Square Enix asked permission from Sega to use characters from its Virtua Fighter game, but then went ahead and published the story before permission was granted. Sega executives "strongly objected" but took no further action and did grant the permission, reasoning it would be good publicity for the game. [Anime News Network]
Legal | Japanese publisher Square Enix is voluntarily recalling all volumes Hi Score Girl and has suspended its digital distribution and sales following allegations the manga contains more than 100 unauthorized uses of characters owned by the game company SNK Playmore. However, the series will still continue to run in the monthly Big Gangan magazine, and a Square Enix spokesperson said the publisher isn't admitting to the allegations. The publisher sent mixed signals on whether the anime adaptation in development will continue as planned. The manga also contains characters from games produced by CAPCOM, Sega and Bandai Namco, all of whom confirmed to IT Media that they had granted permission. [Anime News Network]
The Osaka police on Tuesday searched the Tokyo offices of game and manga publisher Square Enix as part of an investigation of alleged copyright violations.
The video game company SNK claims the manga Hi Score Girl, by Rensuke Oshihiri, contains more than 100 unauthorized uses of characters from its games, which include King of Fighters and Samurai Spirits. In addition to investigating materials confiscated from Square Enix headquarters and other offices, the police plan to question both Oshihiri and the editor of the series.
Serialized in Big Gangan magazine since 2010, Hi Score Girl is a romantic comedy involving two avid gamers, set during the 1990s 2D gaming boom. The collected editions list the owners of properties referenced in the story, including SNK, with a copyright mark, suggesting permission was given, but when SNK was contacted by a production company that planned to produce an anime adaptation, they determined the use was unauthorized.
SNK sent out a press release early today saying it had asked Square Enix to stop selling the manga but did not receive a "sincere response," so the company filed criminal charges. The case is being investigated by the Osaka Police's Consumer and Economic Crime Division.
Legal | In a decision that will undoubtedly usher in more Holmes and Watson novels, comic books, movies and television, a federal judge has issued a declarative judgment that the elements included in the 50 Sherlock Holmes stories published by Arthur Conan Doyle before Jan. 1, 1923 are in the public domain in the United States. That means creators are free to use the characters and elements from those stories (but not from the 10 published after 1923) without paying a licensing fee to the protective Arthur Conan Doyle Estate Ltd.
The ruling came as a result of a lawsuit filed early this year by Leslie Klinger, who served as an adviser on director Guy Ritchie's two Sherlock Holmes films and with Laurie R. King edited In the Company of Sherlock Holmes, a collection of new stories written by different authors. Although Klinger and King had paid a $5,000 licensing fee for a previous Holmes-inspired collection, their publisher received a letter from the Conan Doyle estate demanding another fee; in response, Klinger sued. [The New York Times]
Stage | Dancer Daniel Curry, who was seriously injured during an Aug. 15 performance of the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, made his first appearance since the accident at a benefit concert held Monday that raised $10,000 for his medical bills. Curry was injured when his leg was pinned by an automated trap door — he blames malfunctioning equipment, producers say it was human error — resulting in fractured legs and a fractured foot; he has undergone surgeries and unspecified amputations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Actors' Equity have launched investigations into the accident, and Curry's lawyers are exploring a possible lawsuit against the $75 million show and the equipment suppliers.
During previews of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark — before the March 2011 firing of director Julie Taymor and the sweeping overhaul that followed — no fewer than five performers were injured, the most serious previously being aerialist Christopher Tierney, who fell about 30 feet in December 2010, breaking four ribs and fracturing three vertebrae. He returned to rehearsals four months later. There have been no major accidents since the show opened in June 2011. [The New York Times]
Passings | Roy Peterson, editorial cartoonist for the Vancouver Sun, died Sunday at the age of 77. During his 40-year career, Peterson won more National Newspaper Awards than any other Canadian creator, but he was remembered by his peers chiefly for his sense of humor and his mentoring of younger artists. [Vancouver Sun]
Publishing | CNN contributor Bob Greene profiles Victor Gorelick, the editor-in-chief and co-president of Archie Comics who began working for the publisher at age 17, in 1958. [CNN.com]
Creators | Craig Thompson talks about the short story he wrote and drew for First Second's Fairy Tale Comics anthology, and he reveals an interesting fact: "For six years or so, my entire income was based on drawing kids' comics for [Nickelodeon] magazine. Later on my career shifted to drawing 'serious' graphic novels aimed at adult readers, but I've always wanted to revisit my more fun and cartoony style." Former Nickelodeon editor Chris Duffy is the editor of Fairy Tale Comics. [Hero Complex]
Conventions | Kandrix Foong, founder of Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, cautions latecomers that all 56,000 tickets for this weekend's event are sold out. "We tell everybody now: 'There are no on-site ticket sales,'" he said. "So they say: 'OK, I'll just try my luck when I get there.' 'No, no, no, you don't understand. There are no on-site ticket sales. The end. If you show up you will be turned away. Sorry, but that's the way it's going to be.'" [Calgary Herald]
Conventions | Wizard World has released its annual report for 2012, and while its convention business was way up, from $3.8 million to $6.7 million, the company still finished the year with a net loss of $1 million. [The Beat]
Going to PAX East in Boston over the weekend was like going to a comic convention on another planet.
The gestalt was the same — the exhibit floor, the booths, the cosplayers, the panels — but everything was a little off. The crowd was bigger and younger. Huge screens advertised properties I knew by name only. A lot of the attendees were glued to consoles or computer screens, playing games; one side of the convention center was split into a massive tabletop gaming area and an even bigger PC gaming section. The part that really came closest to a comic con was the indie area on the exhibit floor, where developers were hand-selling their games the way indie creators promote their graphic novels.
Legal | Forbes profiles Michael Wolk, a lawyer who's organized the financial backing for Stan Lee Media's prolonged, and so far unsuccessful, multibillion-dollar lawsuits against Marvel and Disney over the rights to the characters co-created by Stan Lee. Wolk's primary investor is Elliott Management, one the nation's largest hedge funds. SLM, which is no longer affiliated with its co-founder and namesake, asserts Lee didn't properly assign ownership of the works to Marvel, and that Disney didn't file its Marvel agreement with the U.S. Copyright Office. "We are in the right here," says Wolk, who's not actually a Stan Lee Media shareholder. "No court has ever addressed or ever decided who is the owner of the characters — all of the prior litigation got dismissed for reasons that have nothing to do with who owns the characters."

Publishing | Don MacPherson rails against the current numbering and renumbering practices by Marvel and DC Comics: "I realize other publishers have adopted irregular numbering schemes as well, but DC and Marvel are the ones driving things in that direction. Constant relaunches with new first issues, renumbering those relaunches to exploit a big-number milestone such as a 500th issue, half issues, zero issues, issues with decimal points, Greek letters … it's exhausting and irritating, and I'm certain it's frustrating for people preparing price guides and collection databases. Next I'm guessing there will be a series numbered in an alien math rooted in a fictional Kryptonian base-14 numerical system." [Eye on Comics]
Digital comics | David Brothers articulates what the problem is with DRM: "What I realized is that DRM has a lot of benefits for the publisher, but next to none for the consumer. Blizzard can track exactly who plays Diablo III and when, which is valuable for gathering demographic data, off the top of my head. ComiXology can tell publishers exactly what contexts their comics will appear in and on what devices. DRM is about control, basically, rather than being a value-add. It's a limiting service, rather than one focused on expansion, and the people most affected by it are consumers who actually want to consume this stuff." And it does nothing to stop piracy, either.

Some things on the site have been revamped more to my liking and hopefully, everything is still in working order even when things are in the editing process. If all goes well, I should be able to concentrate more on the site this coming Monday. What all that means for you guys is all the new stuff I mentioned above. Also, a little more info on the new arts when I finally get the time and/or drive to sit down and write out those shpeels as well.

This exceeded my expectations - absolutely gorgeous and was on sale when I purchased so that was even better.
This is a gorgeous tray with beautiful etchings on the bottom. It is heavy duty and will serve items daily. It is a beautiful color and style. There have been trays I have seen that I like but this one fit the bill! The handles are the perfect addition to the tray and are wide enough for your hand. Use for displaying or carrying items when needed! Very sturdy! Wonderful item!

County Executive Ike Leggett has announced the names of residents selected to serve on the new Pepco Work Group that has been formed to identify and investigate causes for the frequent and lengthy electricity outages, and to recommend solutions.
"It is incredibly important that we do not go through again what we experienced in February and July and August, "Leggett said. "We have to figure out why Pepco power outages occur regularly, on even the nicest of days, threatening life, inconveniencing families, and costing our businesses millions."
The 12-member group will be chaired by Norman R. Augustine, retired CEO of Lockheed Martin and Montgomery County resident, whose numerous leadership positions include having served as Under Secretary of the Army, Chairman and Principal Officer of the American Red Cross and President of the Boy Scouts of America.
The group is expected to submit a final report, with recommendations, within the next three to six months. Read the group's work plan and issues to be addressed.

Recent reviews
Good 3.9 /5 from 42 reviews
probably one of the best hotels close to the uni. breakfast was good. windows were not really sound-proof, so you can hear the noise from the street. maybe upper floors can help a bit.
I always stay at Anaca when I'm in Sao Carlos (every two years). Reliable free wifi, Bed is comfortable, a good desk to work at, good free breakfast bar in the morning and the staff are helpful. I can't speak for the TV, since I never use it. There are good restaurants in walking distance.
For a business trip stay, the hotel was reasonable. The breakfast was included, and had some good items like salmon, capers, and cream cheese. The wifi speed was reasonable, although a bit slower in the morning.
I have stayed here before years ago. It is a convenient location for us since some of our family live close. But there are a few stores and small market that makes this a convenient located hotel. The room needs updating. They should have a larger fridge and they should provide a microwave. The furnishings are very old and Def need updating. Good at restaurant not good. Breakfast pretty good. Staff extremely nice.

He helped Reading to three wins and a draw from their five league matches and now has 13 goals for the season.
Royals director of football Nicky Hammond told Press Association Sport: "Alfie has been smashing.
"We know what a good player he is, he's an out-and-out goalscorer and he's been a big part of our recent run of form.
"Every day Alfie comes in and works hard, practices his finishing, and he's a great example to the younger players.

It was January 21, 1964 when an official request was made to
conduct a survey to determine if there was a need for a two-year junior college
in the Leon, Wakulla and Gadsden county area. Two years later, Tallahassee
Community College, then known as Tallahassee Junior College, opened its doors.
Yesterday's Board of Trustees meeting marked another important
milestone in our history – I brought to vote and the Board approved a measure
to move forward with the development of a
proposal for adding a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree for those who
already have an Associate in Science in
Nursing. I brought it forward because I believe the
timing is compelling and the three objectives we set for ourselves at the
beginning of this discussion have been met:
It is good for our
One of our College's primary missions has always been to
provide a high quality, affordable learning
environment. I place great value in that. No degree we offer should be financially
inaccessible. Our research shows our College can offer an RN to BSN program
with no substantial increase in tuition. With facilities already in place at
the Ghazvini Center, virtually no new resources would be needed and start-up
costs can remain low.
We also researched retention rates, licensure rates, optimal
class times, degree path – all aspects of the student experience in a new
nursing program have been vetted. Finally, we reached out to our current
students, alumni and community to see if this is something they wanted. The
response was an overwhelming, resounding 'YES.'
It is good for our
Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare President and CEO Mark
O'Bryant spoke at the meeting yesterday on the value of our graduates at TMH,
and how their education, qualifications and confidence in their practice make
them preferred hires. However, in three years' time their hospital's Nurse
Residency Program will require baccalaureate degrees. Regardless of how notable
our current grads are, they would have been excluded. I am glad to say we will
not be turning our backs on them.
In addition to TMH, I was contacted by other local
healthcare organizations such as Capital Regional Medical Center, Westminster
Oaks and the upcoming VA hospital, and they have expressed similar sentiments.
The need is there. They are ready for us to meet it.
Of course, I also did not move forward until many
discussions and planning meetings were conducted with our University Partners to
ensure that our forward momentum would not interfere with their programs'
success. Our goal was always to create growth opportunities, not a competitive
It is good for our
Relevancy is a priority for any higher education institution. The writing is on the wall in the Florida
College System with 24 of the 28 institutions having already begun adding
four-year programs. A paradigm shift is happening. All the same, being at the
front of the pack is less important to me than fiscal stewardship so we ran the
numbers to make sure a new nursing program would be financially viable.
Happily, our research shows that a baccalaureate degree in nursing would bring
in significant revenue, a welcome concept in lean budget years. State
legislature has also already committed a total of $30 million to expand
baccalaureate degrees in Florida, funds we would not have been eligible for
without the Board's decision yesterday.
Moving this initiative from idea to vote has assured me of
just how much our Trustees love our College, something I was already well aware
of. We've had many good conversations and I respect all sides greatly.
Now that the decision has been made, the real work begins. At this point, it is premature to talk about changing the name. If our proposal is approved, then we will have to entertain that conversation. We've got a lot of t's to cross and i's to dot over the coming months and
years. However, I fully anticipate this process will go smoother than most
would think. Demand-driven initiatives tend to do that, in my experience. All are welcome to leave any comments or questions on my
Facebook page at facebook.com/jimmurdaugh, or join us at our next Strategic Plan event on October 30 at 5:30 p.m. at the Florida Public Safety Institute in
Gadsden County.

More example sentences
- Fore-edge paintings are watercolour decorations, painted on the ends of the pages of the fore-edge of a book.
- The edge of a book furthest from its back strip is the fore-edge and they can come uncut (pages that are stuck and need to be cut open) or untrimmed (the fore-edges of pages deliberately left uneven).
- For sometime now I've been delighting in hardback books with untrimmed fore-edges - making the book look and feel old; wonderful and priceless to the touch.

Skadden was named a Chairman's Club law firm — part of the "dominant tier in sports law" — in the SportsBusiness Journal's "Power Players: Outside Counsel" feature.
Skadden was recognized as Firm of the Year in the Mergers & Acquisitions category by Best Lawyers in Russia 2017.
Skadden was one of only five firms recognized in the Sanctions Law Firm of the Year — USA category at the WorldECR 2016 awards.
Skadden has won Premio Le Fonti's Italian Desk award for the second year in a row, recognizing our work for Italian clients in the last 12 months.
At the third annual Financial Times "Asia-Pacific Innovative Lawyers" awards ceremony on June 2, 2016, Skadden received the Innovation in Corporate & Commercial Award for international firms, for our representation of 3SBio in its take-private and relisting on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Our Mandarin-speaking U.S. securities litigation team in Hong Kong and Beijing was highly commended in the Business of Law category; the publication noted our market-leading share of U.S. securities class actions against Chinese companies.
In the latest edition of Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business (May 2016), Skadden received the most top rankings among law firms, including:
Skadden also received a 2016 Chambers USA Award for Excellence for having the nation's top M&A practice.
For 16 consecutive years — every year the rankings have been published — Skadden has been named the top U.S. law firm in Corporate Board Member magazine's annual survey of "America's Best Corporate Law Firms" (May 2016). The annual survey asks directors of publicly traded companies to weigh in on current governance and legal matters and recognizes firms providing the "highest caliber of legal advice and consulting."
Skadden was named "Capital Markets Firm of the Year" at the annual Who's Who Legal Awards (April 11, 2016). The awards honor firms that have performed exceptionally well in Who's Who Legal's global peer-driven research.
For the fifth consecutive year, Skadden took the top spot in a report that identifies law firms with the strongest brands. The "BTI Brand Elite 2016: Client Perceptions of the Best-Branded Law Firms" report (March 2016) is based on more than 600 interviews with corporate counsel at companies with an average revenue of $18.2 billion, according to BTI Consulting Group, Inc.
Skadden ranked first in announced 2015 M&A deals by value globally and in the U.S. according to league tables published by Bloomberg, mergermarket and Thomson Reuters. We also ranked first in announced 2015 M&A deals by value in the Asia Pacific region (excluding Japan) according to Bloomberg.

Most Recent Exhaust Reviews
See all reviews for this product Two Brothers M-2 Black Series Slip-On Exhaust Josh - GREAT BUY "i bought this for my 07 gsxr and boy does it sound awesome. It is ten times louder than the stock muffler. If you like being extremely loud then this is the exhaust for you. The first thing i noticed was how bad the throttle response was on the low end. When first taking off it almost bogs out until it catches. But power was improved mid range. Next the instructions are fairly easy to follow however it does help watching a youtube video of someone putting it on to get a better understanding. Hardest part was getting the linkage bolt off to flip it. Over all i would say it is a good buy, like i said if you like being loud and heard all over town then this is the exhaust for you."

Eddie Vedder Gets Backlash for War Comments on Stage [Video] ...
This is taken straight from The Huffington Post, 'Vedder found himself in hot water after remarks he made onstage in Milton Keynes, England on July 11. During an extended tag after performing Pearl Jam's hit song "Daughter," Vedder extolled the virtues of modern technology before expressing despair over the world's ongoing wars and conflicts.
"At the same time that something this positive is happening, at the same fucking time, not even that far away, they're fucking dropping bombs on each other," Vedder said. "What the fucking fuck?" Continued Vedder: "I swear to fucking God, there are people out there who are looking for a reason to kill. They're looking for a reason to go across borders and take over land that doesn't belong to them. They should get the fuck out, and mind their own fucking business."'

Is it possible to change the size of the logo? Mainly the height of it? Thanks!
Is it possible to change the size of the logo? Mainly the height of it? Thanks!
Yes. You can tweak the styles of login page and can increase the size of logo.
Currently this feature is not included in plugin settings. But you can expect this in future release.
To change logo size, add below code in your style.css and change the values to yours.
.login h1 a {
background-size: 274px 63px !important;
width: 326px !important;
height: 67px !important;
Thanks for the response! I actually tried the CSS styles you mentioned yesterday with no success. (See screenshots below of the CSS and the login page.) I'm adding the CSS style to my main styles.css file. Should I be putting it somewhere else?
CSS: https://skitch.com/iamtravjohnson/eqbw1/edit-themes-wordpress
Login Page: https://skitch.com/iamtravjohnson/eqbwa/log-in
Is there anything else you can think of that would make the logo height bigger? Thanks!
I figured it out. I went into the wp-admin.css file and updated directly in there and it worked. Adding it to the styles.css file with !important didn't do the job because it was obviously in a completely different css file to begin with.
Hope this helps someone in the future!
Ok. That will work. But editing the core files is not advisable. You will lost these customization upon next WordPress update.
But hopefully I will release the next version with this options.
I hear ya on editing the core files, but I couldn't figure out an alternative. If you do, please let me know as I'd like the fix to be permanent and not temporary until the next WP update.
Thanks Libin!
Might I suggest adding the following to your plugin to have the logo stay proportional
'background-size: <?php echo $wp_erident_dashboard_login_width ?> 100%;'
Your code worked like a dream jduree! Thanks!
I added this to the er-custom-login.php file and it works perfectly:
body.login div#login h1 a {
background-image: url(<?php echo $er_logo ?>);
background-size: <?php echo $wp_erident_dashboard_login_width ?> 90%;
padding-bottom: 30px;
margin: 0 auto;
The only thing I changed was the width % to 90 instead of 100.
Thanks again!
Hi everyone, I've tried with no succes to insert the code above in the er-custom-login.php file... Where do I have to place it exactly? Sorry for this dumb question...
Hi Kasabian01,
The above code should go within the section of code in the er-custom-login.php file that starts with
<style type="text/css"> and ends with
It you put it inside of that section and it still doesn't work you may want to copy your code from the er-custom-login.php file and post it on this thread for us to look at.
Hi Libin,
Though it should (re; !important) updating the style.css isn't working as suggested. If this could be resolved, that would be fantastic.
I've tried to find the er-custom-login.php file in my version 1.4 installation and I cannot find it. Any suggestions?

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Zach Randolph smiled slyly when reminded that earlier this season Minnesota's Ricky Davis called the Portland Trail Blazers "roaches."
"Ricky talks a lot," Randolph laughed.
Randolph had 22 points, 15 rebounds and two key free throws at the end as the Blazers spoiled Randy Wittman's first game as Minnesota's interim head coach with a 101-98 overtime victory over the Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
Further rubbing it in, Davis missed a jumper with 7.9 second left in overtime that rimmed out.
Davis wasn't making any more inflammatory statements after the game, but said he did think he had nailed it.
"I'll take that shot and live or die with it," Davis said. "It was a great shot but it didn't go in."
The loss capped several tumultuous days for the Timberwolves, who have lost five straight. Head coach Dwane Casey was fired Tuesday after 1½ seasons.
"I felt these guys deserved to walk out of the building with a win tonight," Wittman said.
Jarrett Jack made a driving layup with 28.7 seconds left in overtime to give the Blazers a 97-96 lead. Kevin Garnett answered with a turnaround jumper to give it back to Minnesota.
Blazers rookie Brandon Roy made two free throws with 12.3 seconds left, as Portland again took the lead. Davis' jumper rimmed out and Randolph hit two free throws with 6.3 seconds left for what would prove to be the winning margin.
Garnett, who missed a 3-point attempt at the buzzer, had 31 points and eight rebounds for the Timberwolves.
Rookie Sergio Rodriguez had 18 points for Portland, which has won four of its last six.
Jamaal Magloire hit one of two foul shots, before Martell Webster scored on a fast-break layup to tie it at 85 with 28.7 seconds to go in regulation.
Davis pounded his chest after he hit a jumper with 11.6 seconds left to pull Minnesota back in front.
Portland rookie LaMarcus Aldridge hit a pair of free throws with 2.8 seconds left to tie it again. After a timeout, Trenton Hassell inbounded to Garnett, who missed a jumper from the baseline as the clock ran out.
Davis hit a 3 and Mark Blount had a long jumper to give the Timberwolves a 94-91 lead in overtime, a lead they maintained until Jack's layup.
"What's impressive to me now is in close games, we're making plays," Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. "Down the stretch and in overtime we went to Brandon a lot and spread the floor, so see if he could make something happen.
"We would normally go to Zach but they were closing up on Zach so we figured Brandon could get into the paint and make some plays."
Roy, who finished with 13 points, said he was bothered by back spasms the whole game, but insisted on playing.
Following a 106-91 loss to Utah on Monday night, the Timberwolves were 20-20 and in eighth place in the competitive Western Conference. The next day Casey was let go.
"We feel terrible. You've got to feel responsible when someone loses his job," Garnett said. "I looked at myself in the mirror and asked myself questions. Now I've got to answer those questions and apply them to this new situation."
Wittman has spent nearly 10 seasons as an assistant in Minnesota during three different stints, including the last 31 games of the 2004-05 season under McHale, who took over after firing longtime coach Flip Saunders.
Wittman was once head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he went 62-102 from 1999-2001.
Portland was coming off a 99-95 victory over Milwaukee on Sunday.
The Blazers went up 15-8 early, but Minnesota closed the gap and took a 24-23 lead on Davis' jumper. The teams traded the lead and stayed close until the half, when Davis' jumper tied it at 46.
Davis had 16 points in the first half. He was booed often by the fans at the Rose Garden, in response to reports that Davis called the Blazers a "pack of roaches" during a game back in November.
It stayed close in the third quarter, Garnett scored Minnesota's first 13 points, before Davis made a layup with 2:42 left in the period. Webster made a 3-pointer with 4:59 left in the game and it appeared the Blazers were finally pulling ahead, but Craig Smith hit a running jumper and Garnett added a jumper of his own to make it 78-77 with 3:28 to go.
A pair of free throws from Garnett put Minnesota ahead, 79-78.
"It was a game that needed a lot of heart," Webster said. "We had that heart down the stretch."
- The teams split their first two games this season.
- Garnett earned his 4,000 career assist in the first quarter. He ranks 82nd on the league's career list.
- Roy was selected by Minnesota with the sixth overall pick in the draft. The Blazers took Randy Foye with the seventh pick, then traded him to the Timberwolves for Roy. Portland also paid Minnesota $1 million in the draft-day deal.

All other plans and services are deregulated under the bill that rewrites the state's telecommunications law.
The legislation limits the Michigan Public Service Commission's rate-setting authority to a basic plan that provides 100 outgoing calls a month, 12,000 outgoing minutes per month and unlimited incoming calls.
The bill now heads back to the state House.

Why Chinese Banks Should Be Run More Like Real Businesses
Analysts and investors have long criticized China's publicly listed banks for acting more like an arm of the government than a business beholden to commercial shareholders.
Now, the head of one of the country's top state-controlled banks is calling for changes that many say are needed to help Chinese banks ride out the economic downturn.
The vast majority of publicly traded Chinese banks are controlled by the state, with investors such as foreign banks and other corporations owning a small percentage of their shares. But "the mixed ownership structure is more in name than in reality," said Niu Ximing, chairman of Bank of Communications, the fifth-largest state-owned Chinese bank by assets and of which HSBC owns 19%.
Boards at Chinese banks, Mr. Niu said at an economic forum in Shanghai on Tuesday, often play an inadequate role in banks' decision-making process. In other words, it's often the government that decides when and how banks make loans.

- Unhappiness With Fed May Help Regulatory Relief Bill
- Changes in Sovereign Debt Risk Rules Won't Come Quickly
- New U.S. Bank Formation Weakest in 50 Years
- BIS Sees Financial Inclusion Increasing Central Bank Powers
Chinese banks, for example, have ramped up lending to local governments, property developers and industries already burdened by overcapacity over the past few years as Beijing called for more credit to support the economy. That rapid buildup of debt is now emerging as a key risk for the world's second-largest economy, many analysts have said, threatening to drag it down even further.
Mr. Niu predicted that profit growth at Chinese banks would slow to roughly the same rate at which China's GDP would be growing in the next five years. For this year, the government predicts that figure to be about 7.5%. Until recently, China's big banks had seen profits expanding at an annual rate of more than 20%.
"We must explore ways for the market to play a decisive role" in how Chinese banks allocate capital and resources, Mr. Niu said. One way to do that is to tie bank employees' salaries to their performance, he said.
State-controlled nature aside, he added, a certain degree of autonomy is needed for Chinese banks.

Projects with high or unclear risk may discourage investors and prevent the

We analyze the 19 states that have not expanded Medicaid. From 2017 to 2026, expansion in these states would increase nominal state costs by less than $60 billion while increasing federal funding by more than $400 billion.

Blind Arizonans planning Alcatraz swim to raise money for charity
PHOENIX — You've heard of jail breaks. Now, a group of blind Valley swimmers are headed to California to do a "Braille Break from Alcatraz."
The group is planning to swim from Alcatraz Island to the San Francisco shore on Sept. 29. Its goal is to raise at least $25,000 dollars for the Foundation for Blind Children in Phoenix.
Katie Cuppy is one of them. She said she had a tough start to life.
"I was born three months premature, and weighed only two pounds," she said. "Because I was born early, my optic nerves aren't fully developed, I don't have any peripheral vision. I can see shapes and colors. I can see some print if it's really large and up close."
Despite her condition, the 19-year-old Northern Arizona University freshman said she is living life to the fullest and is looking forward to the Alcatraz swim.
"It's about a mile and a half," said Cuppy. "Me and two other blind swimmers are going to attempt to swim that whole thing."
Joining her on the swim is 17-year-old Brophy Prep senior Max Ashton. He's also blind, but not afraid of adventure.
"On June 29, 2009, we had 8 blind climbers climb Mount Kilimanjaro," Ashton said. That peak is over 19,000 feet high.
"The next year, we did a rim-to-rim hike of the Grand Canyon in a single day. Again, that was with a group of blind people."
Cuppy said one reason she's doing the Alcatraz swim is to be an example to others.
"I want to go work with children with visual impairments and blindness," said Cuppy. "My whole goal is to teach them that (blindness) is not a negative thing. It's a part of my life that I embrace very much, and anybody can do the same.
"I want to teach them not to let it get in the way of anything that you want to do. If you feel you can't do something, try it anyway just for the sake of trying. If you never try, you don't know what your limits are, and there shouldn't be any limits, especially when it comes to blindness."
