The School of Nursing confers the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing on candidates who successfully complete a four-year program of study. Students attending a Virginia community college must pursue a program of pre-nursing general education courses in order to be eligible for transfer. The School of Nursing accepts transfer students into the second year of the program. Students will normally complete at least one year of college level work before transfer. Completion of the program qualifies the graduate for beginning positions in hospital, clinic, office, school, public health and industrial nursing, for commissions in military service, and for graduate study in nursing.
Courses in the School of Nursing are composed of two discrete but interrelated elements—Interprofessional and Core. Interprofessional courses are designed to facilitate transition to the role of health care provider and include social science and natural science content with special application to health care. Selected interprofessional courses are open to all students within the University in addition to students of nursing.
The nursing core courses include basic knowledge and skills needed to practice professional nursing at a beginning level. Clinical and classroom experiences and academic work provide a broad basis for nursing practice related to both acute and chronic illness and health promotion. The emphasis is on individuals, families, and groups with varying levels of health and at all points in the life cycle. In addition, issues related to professional nursing are also included.
The degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing is conferred by the General Faculty upon those candidates recommended by the faculty of the School of Nursing as having successfully completed a prescribed course of study, including not fewer than 120 semester hours of approved courses. A total of 49 semester hours is required in the natural and social sciences and the humanities; and 71 semester hours are required in nursing courses. In addition, the candidate must have earned a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 ("C") on prescribed work.
Two tracks are offered for non-traditional students interested in preparation for nursing practice. Registered nurses without baccalaureate degrees may progress through a modified undergraduate curriculum and obtain their BSN degree in two academic years (part-time study). Students who have baccalaureate degrees in other fields may progress through a Master's Level degree program. Please see the School of Nursing website for more information. Further progression in graduate study is encouraged and facilitated for interested, qualified individuals. For details, contact the School of Nursing.
PLEASE NOTE: Admission guidelines contained herein speak specifically to transfer applicants from the community college system and from other undergraduate programs. Registered Nurse applicants must contact the School of Nursing for specific admission requirements. In every case, an applicant for transfer admission must be in good academic and social standing at any college which he/she is currently attending or has previously attended, and must be eligible to return there. Selection of applicants to the School of Nursing is competitive, based primarily on scholastic ability demonstrated by academic records of pre-nursing study, secondary school records, and scores on the SAT I or the American College Test (ACT). Relevant volunteer or work experience in a clinical setting will be taken into consideration and will be a factor in the selection process. Students wishing to transfer after one year at a Virginia community college or another accredited college must have successfully completed a minimum of 30 semester hours of the following general education requirements:
School of Nursing Transfer Prerequisite Requirements:
The following four prerequisite courses must be completed with a grade of a C or better prior to beginning the program in the Fall semester.

All students will transfer in as second-year students and will complete the BSN in three additional years of full-time study. Students admitted into the transfer cohort for Fall 2015 will graduate from the School of Nursing in May 2018. See the School of Nursing website for more information.
Nontraditional Nursing Programs
RN to BSN. Registered Nurses who have completed the required 49 general education courses and five prerequisite courses may apply for transfer admission to an innovative program leading to a BSN. The RN to BSN program is a two year, part-time program. Courses meet in person one day a week. Interested applicants are encourage to contact the School of Nursing to have their transcripts evaluated.
There is a guaranteed admission agreement between UVA and the Virginia Community College System that requires completion of an Associates degree in nursing. See the articulation agreement for specific course requirements.
Master's Entry Clinical Nurse Leader Program. This curriculum prepares individuals with undergraduate or graduate degrees in other disciplines to become Registered Nurses who provide direct patient care and who lead at the point of care. This program is a full-time program that leads to a MSN degree after 24 months. The program begins in the summer semester, and ends at the end of the a spring session nearly two years later. For more information about this graduate degree program, consult the School of Nursing website.

The Village of Folsom is hosting a special holiday event for the children of Folsom and surrounding rural area at Magnolia Park on Dec. 21 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. With the support of donations from the community, the Mayor and Board of Alderman will have a Christmas gift give-away for children up to the age of 12.
Around 5:30 p.m., Santa is expected to make an appearance in the village with the assistance of Fire Chief David Pittman who will escort the jolly St. Nick around town in a fire truck.
Since the village is coordinating this event on a shoestring budget, the community is encouraged to help bring joy to the children of our community by donating a new unwrapped toy. Donations are being collected at Town Hall and the Dollar General store.
All toys must be new and unwrapped.
While children in need are the focus of this annual event, all children who live in the area are welcome to join in on the fun of selecting a new toy and visiting with Santa. Cookies and hot chocolate will also be served.
According to Jill Mathies, a member of the Folsom Board of Alderman, at this point the community has donated cars, trucks, planes and race tracks for boys, lots of dolls and dress up kits for girls plus clothes and stuffed animals for infants and toddlers.
"If anyone in the community would like to make a donation but not get out in all of the hustle and bustle, I will pick up a gift card or cash from them and bring them a receipt for the items purchased," she said.
"We hope to touch the lives of the children in our area with this annual event and create wonderful and happy memories of their childhood," she said, adding that this event helps ease the needs of the families while bringing joy to the children. "Because we are such a small community compared to the larger populations around us, all of the children are welcome to come celebrate Christmas in Folsom at the community center."
Magnolia Park is located at 13296 Louisiana 40 or about half a mile west of the first traffic light in Folsom.
Amy Althans is a Folsom resident. If you have news about Folsom and surrounding communities, call her at 985.796.5779.

Apparently, Working Moms Won't Vote This YearMadeline Holler
Fall fashion has Vogue's "September Issue." The Chinese New Year, a celebrated animal. Christmas doesn't really get underway until Oscar hopefuls start showing up in theaters.
National elections have their kick-off moments, too. The fun doesn't begin in electoral politics until a certain demographic is pulled out, nicknamed and held up as the key group to be pandered to if you, Madame Politician, ever expect to take office.
In 1996, it was Soccer Moms. In 2000, NASCAR Dads. We also had security moms, following 9/11. Angry White Men way back in the mid-90s and Grizzly Mamas way back a couple of months ago. But NPR Ron Elving thinks he may have found the this midterm elections key voting bloc and chances are, you're one of them:
Weary Working Women
WWWs are women who are tired of bearing the economic burdens of their families. They're tired, according to Elving, of carrying the Democrats' water. They're not sure health insurance reform was all that. Same goes for changes in the financial industry.
Before you let all that power go to your head, however, consider this: WWWs, or, women in general, aren't all that interested in the election. So chances are, they're not even going to muster the energy to go out and vote. Remember? They're weary.
Now, what kind of cleverly nicknamed pivotal voter doesn't actually go cast a ballot?
What about you, you Weary Working Woman? Aren't you going to drag you and those bags under your eyes down the street and into the voting booth this November?

February 2, 2011 just seems like another normal Wednesday, but for the college football world, it is National Signing Day for recruits.
National Signing Day is the college football equivalent to Christmas morning. A day in which you find out what recruits, or gifts, will be heading to your program.
Arizona State is currently ranked No. 57 in recruiting points according to Scouts.com, but with an already talented roster that returns nearly all of its starters in 2011, the Sun Devils are sitting pretty.
With "way-too-early" preseason polls already spreading like wildfire, Arizona State is getting some love after finishing the 2010 season strong, and returning nearly the entire team that kept up with Top 10 programs.
Let's take a look at the Top 10 2011 recruiting commitments that Arizona State hopes to sign the first Wednesday of February.

Soft Cookies And Cream Cookies
I made the soft Nutella chocolate cookies last week. And after I finished them, all I could think about was making another variation.
Posts about limited edition Oreos made me think of trying a cookies and cream version. I love my chewy cookies and cream cookies, but I thought a soft one would be delicious too. And these were. They bake up quite thick but are also soft and full of cookies and cream goodness.
I had to give some away so that I wouldn't eat all two dozen by myself. These go really well with a glass of cold milk.
Soft Cookies and Cream Cookies
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup butter, room temperature
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
20 oreos
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until creamy and fluffy.
3. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
4. Mix in the flour mixture at low speed until fully incorporated into the dough. Add in the oreos and mix on low to medium speed, letting the mixer crush the oreos until oreo cookies are crushed into small pieces and mixed into dough.
5. Make balls of cookie dough, about 1 1/2 inch in diameter and place on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper or silpat mats, spacing dough balls about 2 inches apart. Press down on the dough balls as cookies do not spread out that much during baking.
6. Bake for about 10 minutes until edges turn golden brown. Let cookies cool on cookie sheets before removing.

hello, love your page,
just wanted to ask if you use the pudding mix as it is? i mean as a powder or do you make the pudding like mixing it with milk or smt.?
thank you
How many cookies does one batch make?
I made these for my family and my family is worried they were undone because of how soft and gooey they are. Exactly how gooey and soft should they be?
My cookies came out super flat any suggestions on what I may have done wrong?
Yep, added the pudding dry. 1 cup = 2 sticks of butter right? Or am I doing the math wrong lol. My mixer also took a crap halfway thru, I had to hand stir in the Oreos. I don't think anything was over beaten or anything. They're still soft, chewy and delicious, tho! I just wish they looked prettier (like yours) lol : )
LOVED this recipe.
I tried a different recipe for Cookie and Cream but this is the winner.
Thank you!
I only have instant cheesecake-flavored pudding mix at my house. Do you think that would be an okay substitution, or should I hold off until I go grocery shopping? Thanks!
They really didn't taste cheesecake-y, which is good because I'm not a cheesecake fan. They were absolutely delicious though, thank you!!
Saw these and thought they looked amazing!
Just wondering if its completely necessary to add the pudding mix?
I'd have to do some looking to find it where i live.Thanks in advance!

Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions about Field Education
What is the difference between foundation and concentration year internships?
Foundation year internships are generalist in nature and focus on core social work competencies. Foundation year students work with a variety of client systems.
Concentration year internships focus on competencies required for more advanced social work practice within the student's academic track and, if applicable, certificate program. Students with advanced standing enter directly into a concentration year internship after one quarter of academic courses.
How many total hours are required for an internship?
Foundation students spend a minimum of 480 hours in an internship over three academic quarters, or an average of 16 hours per week for 30 weeks.
Concentration students (including students with advanced standing ) spend a minimum of 600 hours in internship over three academic quarters, or an average of 20 hours per week for 30 weeks. Some concentration-year internships require students to be in field 24 hours per week.
Detailed information may be found in the "Field Dates, Hours and Credits" section of the Field Manual (PDF). No student may be in field for fewer than 12 hours per week at any given time.
Do students change internship sites each quarter?
We expect students to spend their entire academic year at one internship site. Students completing two years of internships must do so in two separate agencies.
Can students receive field credit for past work experience?
No, students cannot receive field credit for past experience. The accreditation standards of the Council on Social Work Education state that "academic credit for life experience and previous work experience shall not be given, in whole or in part, in lieu of the field internship or courses in the professional foundation areas."
Selecting an Internship
How do I obtain an internship?
Students attending GSSW are not assigned internships. They have a choice for both foundation year and concentration year internships.
- On the main campus:
- Foundation year students work closely with a field coordinator to determine agencies with which to interview. Students and agencies interview each other.
- Concentration year students, during the spring of their foundation year, participate in an on-campus field fair attended by more than 100 agencies. Here, students meet with agency representatives to begin selecting their concentration year internships. These students also have access to the field agency database that lists all agencies offering internships.
- Students with advanced standing work closely with a field coordinator to determine approved agencies with whom to interview. They may also access the field agency database to identify potential agencies of interest.
- In the Four Corners and Western Colorado MSW programs:
- Liaisons meet with students and discuss interests, career goals and experience.
- Liaisons contact agencies that may be a match and arrange for an interview.
- The internship is secured if the agency, student and liaison agree that it is a good fit.
In all cases, when a match is made, the agencies contact students to offer them an internship. Students either accept or decline the offer. If a match is not made, students continue to interview until they find a suitable placement.
Do I have to be living in, or visiting, Colorado to find an internship?
Since GSSW students choose their internships for both their foundation and concentration years, they need to interview with potential agencies. While students who are in Colorado conduct these interviews in person, telephone interviews can sometimes be arranged for students who are out of state. However, it is to the student's advantage to arrange a time to interview in person if at all possible.
Can I complete my internship in my place of employment?
Students interested in a work placement must submit a Request for Internship in Place of Employment Form (PDF) to the Director of Field Education or designee. Submitting the required form does not guarantee approval of the request.
Two-year MSW students typically must complete one of their two field internships in an agency other than their place of employment. Students must have been in their place of employment for a minimum of six months and must have an MSW internship supervisor other than their employment supervisor. The internship must provide the student with experiences that are distinctly different from the student's regular job responsibilities.
I have been offered an internship. Now what?
Within one week of securing a field internship, students should submit a Field Confirmation Form (PDF) online. This form provides official documentation for student records and is required for field internship course registration. Students will not receive academic credit for an internship until this form is submitted. Once the form is submitted, students should verify that the field registration process is complete by checking their online registration form on myWeb.
Are students required to have background checks prior to beginning their internships?
Many agencies require background checks before a student is accepted for, and/or allowed to begin, an internship. If an agency requires any type of background check and/or medical testing, the agency should notify the intern of these requirements during the interview process. Each agency determines the criteria for passing or failing a background check, and communicates this directly to the student.
Conducting background checks is the responsibility of the agency. If an agency is not able to pay for these additional requirements, payment is the responsibility of the student.
Finding Forms and Resources
Where can I find student forms online?
Many field-related forms and resources are available for students via PioneerWeb. Click on the GSSW "tab" and choose "Field Education" under GSSW Student Resources. If you need any help finding or completing forms, please contact the field office at 303-871-2844, or email@example.com.
Field Supervision
What are supervision requirements for an internship?
All students must be supervised by an MSW who has at least 2 years of post-graduate, professional social work experience. Some students are also supervised by a task supervisor who must have an advanced degree or a level of experience in the field that allows for supervision of a master's-level student.
Foundation year students receive the equivalent of at least 1.5 hours of supervision per week, and concentration year students receive the equivalent of at least 1 hour per week.
Some students receive weekly supervision from an on-site task supervisor, and weekly or bi-weekly supervision from an off-site MSW supervisor. It is recommended, but not required, that field supervisors for concentration year, clinical students be Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW).
What is the difference between a field supervisor, field instructor, task supervisor, field liaison and field coordinator?
A field supervisor is an agency staff member who provides weekly supervision to the student intern. All students must be supervised by an MSW supervisor (field instructor) who typically has a minimum of two years post-graduate professional social work experience.
In addition, some students have a field supervisor (task supervisor) who has an advanced degree or a level of experience in the field that allows for supervision of a master's-level student.
A field liaison links GSSW, the student and the internship agency. Field liaisons meet jointly with the student and field instructor at least once per quarter to discuss progress made toward completing internship assignments. Field liaisons are also available to the student and the agency for problem resolution. Field liaisons are experienced MSWs from the community and/or GSSW faculty members.
Field coordinators are members of the GSSW faculty and the field education team. They work directly with students and agencies in the internship placement process.
How does an agency become an approved internship site?
Agencies begin the process of becoming an approved internship site by submitting the Agency Information Form (AIF) online, which generates a visit from a field coordinator. During the visit, learning opportunities, supervision requirements, non-discrimination policies and other matters are discussed. The approval process is formalized through a written agreement with GSSW's Field Education Program.
What if an agency does not have an MSW on site?
Agencies without an MSW must have an on-site task supervisor who has an advanced degree or a level of experience in the field that allows for supervision of a master's-level student. Agencies without an on-site MSW must identify an off-site individual with an MSW to provide the field instruction in addition to the supervision students receive from the on-site supervisor. It is optimal for the off-site MSW to be familiar with the agency's mission and work.
What determines a student's tasks and learning opportunities in an internship?
Each student, in conjunction with the field supervisor, completes an Individualized Field Education Plan (IFEP), which is updated each quarter of the internship. The IFEP addresses all of the tasks, learning objectives and competencies for each internship year.
Download the IFEP for the foundation year (DOC) and the IFEP for the concentration year (DOC).
When and why should students contact their assigned field liaison?
Field liaisons typically contact students and field supervisors during the first three weeks of the internship to set up a schedule for site visits. Throughout the year, students should contact their field liaison if they have questions or concerns about workload, supervision, Individualized Field Education Plans (IFEPs), quarterly field evaluations, or the integration of classroom assignments and the field internship.
When and why should field instructors contact their assigned field liaison?
Throughout the year, field instructors should contact their field liaison if they have questions or concerns about their students, Individualized Field Education Plans (IFEPs), quarterly field evaluations, or the integration of classroom assignments and the field internship.
What happens if problems arise during an internship?
Problems that arise during an internship are first addressed between the field supervisor and the student. The field liaison is available for problem resolution as needed. If problems cannot be resolved among the student, the field liaison and the field supervisor, a conduct review hearing may be called.
Detailed information can also be found in the "Field Problems and Resolution," and "Conduct Review" sections of the Field Manual (PDF).
Can students request to change internships during the year?
Any decisions about changing internships must be made by the Field Liaison, the Field Supervisor, the Field Education Program and the student. Students must follow the process outlined in the Proposal to Change Internship. Details information can also be found in the "Field Problems and Resolution" section of the Field Manual (PDF).
Can students begin internships prior to the official start date?
Agencies sometimes request that students begin their internships earlier than the official GSSW start date, due to specific program needs. An agency or student wishing to begin an internship prior to the official start date set by GSSW must email a request, stating the desired start date, to the Field Office at firstname.lastname@example.com.
When are students in field?
Foundation year students are typically in field for 16 hours per week on Mondays and Tuesdays, and sometimes Wednesdays. Concentration year students (including students with advanced standing) are generally at their internships 20-24 hours per week on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Students typically attend classes on the days they are not in field. No student may be in field for fewer than 12 hours per week at any given time.
Can an internship take place during evening and weekend hours?
Students need to be at their internship during normal agency business hours and during times when their field supervisor is available. These conditions do not usually allow students to do their entire internship during evening or weekend hours, although it might be possible to complete some hours during these times. Students wishing to intern during evening and/or weekend hours must discuss their request with a field coordinator and potential internship sites.
What are the policies regarding University holidays, sick days and vacation days during an internship?
GSSW does not require students to be at their internships during holidays officially observed by the University of Denver, except during fall quarter, when students are expected to be at their internships into December; see the GSSW academic calendar (PDF) for official dates.
Agencies, however, may require that students be at their internships during University holidays, and this requirement may supersede GSSW's holiday policy. This should be communicated to students during the internship interview process.
Students needing to take additional time off during their internships, or wishing to make up time missed for illness or vacation, must discuss their requests with their field supervisor. See DU's Religious Accommodations Policy for additional information. Students who are called to jury duty while in an internship need to discuss their hours with their supervisor.
Does a student need a car for an internship?
Many internships require that students have cars to carry out assignments such as home visits, outreach and community work. In addition, many internships are located in areas that are underserved by public transportation. Therefore, students without cars may need to choose internships that are close to their homes, are available by public transportation or that do not require the use of a car to carry out assigned tasks.
Can students drive clients?
Interns shall be responsible for transportation to and from the internship site. Interns should not drive clients unless the agency specifies to the intern such requirement as part of the essential duties of the internship.
It is the responsibility of the agency to specify to interns whether interns shall drive as part of their essential duties within their internships and to manage any such driving requirements with the interns. Interns are advised that internships requiring driving as an essential duty may require submission to a motor vehicles records check, notification of your insurance carrier of use of your vehicle within the internship, and compliance with driving policies of the agency.
The University of Denver shall not be responsible for managing any requirements for transportation or driving as part of internships, and shall not maintain insurance for interns driving as part of the essential duties of the internship.
Any accidents involving GSSW students while participating in an internship should be reported to the GSSW Field Office (email@example.com or 303-871-2844) and Campus Safety (303-871-2334) for appropriate reporting within the University of Denver.

Deliverance actor Bill McKinney died Thursday from cancer of the esophagus, according to his Facebook page.
McKinney, who was 80 when he passed away, was best known for his role as a twisted mountain man who assaulted Ned Beatty's character in 1972's Deliverance. During the scene – which Entertainment Weekly calls "one of the most unsettling scenes ever put on film" – McKinney's character orders his victim to "squeal like a pig."
McKinney had a varied and long career, with parts in television and in films with major stars including Thunderbolt and Lightfoot with Clint Eastwood and The Parallax View with Warren Beatty.
He also had roles in in First Blood, Back to the Future Part III and The Green Mile. In 2010, he appeared in How Do You Know.
"An avid smoker for 25 years of his younger life, he died of cancer of the esophagus," the Facebook announcement reads, going on to reveal that only recently the actor "continued to work on his biography with his writing partner. Hopefully 2012 will bring a publisher for the wild ride his life was. He is survived by son Clinton, along with several ex-wives."

Estimating the Range of Food-Insecure Households in India /
Report summary
Stay Connected
Economic Research Report No. (ERR-133) 32 pp, May 2012
Policymakers and researchers are increasingly concerned with assessing the worldwide food-insecure population and the ways it may be changing. A common denominator in different approaches to assessing food insecurity is the measurement of calories consumed. The ability to measure food consumption is basic not only to gauging food insecurity, but also for targeting and evaluating policies aimed at alleviating it, such as the U.S. Government's Feed the Future initiative. This report examines problems in measuring calorie consumption and the food-insecure population, even when extensive household survey data are available, and finds that the extent of food insecurity varies markedly according to how it is measured. The analysis focuses on India, the country with the largest food-insecure population in the world, using a large household data set compiled by the Government of India for tracking household food security.
The authors found significant differences in estimates of the size of India's food-insecure population-comprising people who consumed less than 2,100 calories per day-across three major assessment methodologies: (1) The aggregate production and consumption approach used in the annual global food insecurity assessment by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA); (2) the household expenditure survey approach; and (3) the survey of direct responses to questions on household food security status. Each of the methods, summarized briefly, describes a different but important aspect of food security:
• Aggregate production and consumption approach-Food production and trade statistics are used to determine a country's total food availability, which can then be used to estimate the number of food-insecure households through data on income distribution. Based on this approach, USDA's 2005 global assessment estimated India's food-insecure population at 217 million people.
• Household expenditure survey approach-Household responses to the Indian Government's National Sample Survey allow estimation of calories derived from food purchased or produced by households and also provide information on the characteristics of these households. Using these data and appropriate weighting factors to expand to the entire population, the authors found a baseline estimate of 508 million food-insecure people in India for 2004/05. However, the estimates ranged from 404 million to 577 million, depending on alternative plausible assumptions on the calorie content of foods and of meals consumed outside the home.
• Survey of direct responses to questions on household food security-This approach relies on survey questions that ask respondents about the adequacy of food consumption for household members. The authors found that estimates based on a specific question on household food security in India's National Sample Survey gave an estimate of 19 million food-insecure people in 2004/05, sharply lower than for the alternative methods. The authors note, however,that the Indian survey instrument differs significantly from the carefully designed, multi-question modules used in the United States and elsewhere.
India's household expenditure survey data may have the potential to provide the most accurate assessment of food insecurity,because they contain the most detail on household food availability. In analyzing the data, the authors found a large spread in estimates of the food-insecure population in India when they used alternative assumptions for estimating calories consumed. The highest and lowest counts of calorie intake resulted in an estimated difference of about 173 million food-insecure people in 2004/05. Specific measurement issues raised by the analysis are:
• Difficulty in determining calories in processed foods, an increasingly important component of diets across Indian households. Because of the wide range of nutritional content within various categories of processed foods, it is not possible to reliably discern calorie content from the survey data.
• Errors in estimating the calorie content of meals consumed outside the home and meals provided to nonhousehold members-growing trends in Indian diets-for which calories cannot be precisely estimated from the survey data. Miscounting calories from these sources, as well as those from processed foods, can distort estimates of food insecurity rates across income groups and survey years.
• Potential errors associated with estimating consumption of processed foods and meals outside the home, which vary with household characteristics such as income and, therefore, are nonrandom sources of error. In this analysis, we find that the errors are largest when accounting for calories consumed by the highest and lowest income households.
• Conflicting sources of information on the calorie content of unprocessed foods. The calorie conversion factors used by the Government of India and FAO differ substantially for some foods.
Household data collected in the 2004/05 round of India's National Sample Survey, a survey of approximately 125,000 households conducted every 5 years, provide quantity and expenditure information for approximately 152 different food items for each household. Baseline estimates of calories purchased in the form of nonprocessed foods were calculated by multiplying quantities purchased by the average amount of calories per unit of quantity, using calorie conversion information from a source used by the Government of India. The baseline estimates of consumption of nonprocessed food calories were adjusted to account for household purchases of processed foods, calories included in the number of meals eaten outside the home, and meals given to nonhousehold members (such as to guests). The sensitivity of these baseline estimates of calorie consumption was then tested by perturbing the baseline assumptions, including (1) using an alternate source of information on the calorie content of foods from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, (2) using alternate assumptions on the cost of calories from processed foods, and (3) accounting for the error involved in estimating the calories included in meals consumed outside the home or given to nonhousehold members.

Where do you get the fishing pole? I've been all over town and can't find the lady that gives me the fishing pole
like if you were really fishingOriginally Posted by Nintendocam
anyone some asked how to get the fishing rod, you have to get the basked, and you do this by calling the bird with the grass, and then shooting the monkey!
Mac Expert.
She's standing by the riverside around the middle of the village. If you haven't found her basket, look for grass up on platform to call the bird and aim it at the monkey with the basket. If correctly done, the bird will knock the monkey over and he will drop the basket for you to return back to the lady.Originally Posted by bodtchboy

What caused this drop today ?
Cause? This stock doesn't need any cause for some small-trade sellers to bring the price down. You'll have to ask the sellers why they are taking the price down with nothing but positive press and a nationwide investor tour coming up--oh, and the temporary end to the "fiscal cliff" too. So far, added another 1000 shares at $7.67.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Professional translator Steven Capsuto is also an expert about gays and lesbians on TV.
"I have more than 2,000 video recordings," the Haddon Township resident says. "I have every queer episode of Medical Center except two."
That creaky Chad Everett melodrama of the 1970s had gay content? Who knew?
Capsuto, 47, knows. He's the author of Alternate Channels, a soon-to-be updated examination of homosexuality's emergence from the broadcasting closet.
It's a subject he regularly lectures about on college campuses. And, having started his research in the VCR era, he finds that keeping up with the proliferation of (mostly) positive images is much easier in these digital days.

Liftoff to Learning: Let's Talk Robotics
Table of Contents
The definition of what a robot is varies with the source referenced. Generally, robots are machines that operate by computer controls. In terrestrial applications, robots are most often used for dangerous, dirty, or dull jobs. Examples include painting and welding robots in automotive assembly lines and robots used to dismantle old nuclear power plants. In NASA-sponsored experiments, walking robots were used to explore active volcanoes in Alaska and the Antarctic.
In this video, several of NASA's robotic applications are explored. Viewers
will learn about the Pathfinder robot that landed on Mars in 1997 and
released a microrover spacecraft (Sojourner) to explore the nearby Marscape.
Viewers will also learn about the 15-meter-long Remote Manipulator System
arm that Space Shuttle astronauts use to handle payloads in space and
assist in space construction and satellite repair operations. Research
being done to test robot arms for the International Space Station and
a free-flying camera robot will also be seen.
Robot Arm and End Effector
Materials: Wooden craft sticks, drill, small brass paper fastener, assorted materials
Background: One of the important objectives in the development of robots is to enable robots to interact with their environment. Interaction is often accomplished with some sort of arm and gripping device or end effector.
Procedure: Drill holes through the craft sticks as shown in the diagram. Each student will need four drilled sticks and four brass paper fasteners. Dampening the sticks before drilling can reduce cracking the wood. Have students assemble robot arms as shown in the illustration above. Tell them to try to pick up a pencil or some other object with the arm. They will find the task difficult. Next, tell the students to design some sort of end effector for the end of the arm that will enable them to pick up the object. Students should make their end effector and attach it to the ends of the arm with glue. Evaluate their work by having them demonstrate picking up the object. Ask students what other objects they can pick up with the arm. Would the arm and end effector have to be modified to pick up sediment and pebbles on Mars?

Police in Conway are warning parents to not leave children alone at bus stops after reports of a suspicious man just over the border in Maine.
Police said there were two reports of a man approaching children in Fryeburg, Maine. A car matching the description of the vehicle driven by the man was seen at Doloff Pond in Conway, police said.
The car is a red Honda Civic with New Jersey license plates. The man was in his 30s and was wearing a Red Sox hat and a gray sweatshirt.
Police said anyone who sees the vehicle should call police.

Big, late $ from trial lawyer-backed group
A pitched battle for the Texas House seat vacated by Kino Flores in the Rio Grande Valley has jarred loose more than spare change:
On Monday, the trial lawyer-funded Texans for Insurance Reform made a $52,500 media buy for Pharr office manager Sandra Rodriguez (right) in the House District 36 Democratic primary. The last-minute, in-kind donation was disclosed in a telegram report to the Texas Ethics Commission. It comes on top of a $52,500 TV spot that Texans for Insurance Reform paid for last month, as well as a $45,000 cash contribution the group made to Rodriguez in late January.
Two years ago, she nearly defeated Flores. Now, she's running an ad casting her Democratic opponent, Sergio Munoz Jr., as the "hand-picked stand in" of his father, former Rep. Sergio Munoz, and Flores.
Rodriguez has raised nearly $405,000, including $21,000 from her own pocket. Munoz Jr., after loaning his campaign $250,000, has spent some $416,000, Ethics Commission reports indicate.
For a sense of how hard-fought these South Texas primary battles can be, go to the jump for a McAllen Monitor story's recap of the Flores-Rodriguez showdown in 2008. It ain't beanbag. Last July, a Travis County grand jury indicted Flores on charges of not disclosing sources of income, real estate transactions and gifts on the disclosure forms he filed with the state.
A caveat: In the continuing battle over lawsuit reform, the trial lawyers are by no means the only big spenders. Yesterday, John Reynolds of Quorum Report, after reviewing the last complete contribution and expenditure reports we'll get before Tuesday's primary, said there have been six-figure contributions by both the trial lawyers and tort reformers in the Tara Rios Ybarra-Jose M. Lozano shootout near South Padre Island. (Business likes her, the plaintiffs' bar likes him.) And now that we've gotten a telegram report showing a $20K gift by Texans for Insurance Reform on Monday to El Paso Rep. Norma Chavez, we can say the same of her primary contest with tort reformer-backed Naomi Gonzalez.
From McAllen Monitor story last August by Jeremy Roebuck:
"That hard-elbowed political style flared up during [Flores'] last face off with Rodriguez, when the two candidates had to be separated by sheriff's deputies during an argument outside of the Palmview offices of Hidalgo County's Precinct 3. Criminal charges filed against him last month are nothing more than a distraction that he hopes to have resolved before the 2010 primary heats up, the seven-term incumbent said.
"After an eight-month investigation, grand jurors concluded that Flores intentionally hid more than $847,000 in income and personal assets from state regulators, including gifts he had received from campaign contributors over a period of six years.
"Flores' attorneys have questioned whether the activity alleged constitutes a criminal act, and the representative has maintained his innocence. But Rodriguez – an ex-Pharr-San Juan-Alamo school board trustee and daughter of a former Mission City Councilman — said the indictments speak for themselves."

Japanese cheesecake
I love Japanese cheesecake. It's lighter than American cheesecake, with an almost souffle like texture. It is light, creamy, and melts in your mouth.
I tried to make japanese cheesecake once. It didn't come out exactly right. I've been wanting to go back and try it again. This time the cake came out better and tasted just right. I still have some problems with it looking perfect. The top did deflate causing a wrinkled surface. I'll have to work on the presentation, but taste-wise this cake was heavenly.
The cake contains cream cheese like american cheesecake, but not as much cream cheese as american cheesecake. It is also mixed with whipped egg whites, giving it a light texture. The cake is also baked in a water bath. All of this sounds sort of complicated, but it's actually not that hard to make.
I used a recipe I found on The Little Teochew, which came with wonderful tips on making the perfect japanese cheesecake and hers really is beautiful. You can view it here.
8 Responses to "Japanese cheesecake"
I just made a no bake cheesecake not too long ago…and this looks similar, and oh-so good! Thanks for sharing!
oooh I love Japanese cheesecake. Your pics make me want to run out and try to make it. I'm scared after the japanese sponge cake defeated me twice.
This cake is definitely a winner, right? I also loooovveeee it!! Try brushing the top with apricot that dilute in water (1:1) Darn good
Hi Kirby! I haven't been on here in a long time due to school but I am finally on break! I missed this blog so much and like always, your recipes look amazingly delicious. Congratulations on your engagement too!
For the cheesecake, it calls for corn flour. Is that corn starch or corn meal?

Improved Twitter OAuth for Android
|A couple of months ago, I published a post entitled A 30 minute guide to integrating Twitter in your Android application.. The post presented a sample Android application to integrate Twitter. Using the signpost library, the user was able to authorize our application to send tweets on his/her behalf. It seems that everyone is migrating to Oauth 2.0, but Twitter is still stuck at OAuth 1.0. Nevertheless, I still wanted to update the sample we did a couple of months ago for 3 reasons :
I'll start by introducing the application (for those who read the previous article, it should look pretty familiar.
The sample app UI
Granted, the user interface looks pretty basic, but it gets the job done. We've got
- a Launch OAuth flow button that will take the user through the OAuth flow.
- a Clear credentials button, that will remove any authentication tokens stored in the app.
- a Label, showing the status of a Twitter API call.
Unauthorized API access
When we start the application for the first itme, you'll see the following error message :
What you are seeing is the outcome of the Twitter API call. Obviously, in order to perform a Tweet, the user needs to authorize our application to send tweets on his behalf. Failure to do so results in an Authentication error.
The API call is executed when this main activity is launched.
In order to succesfully send a tweet, the user needs to authorize the request.
Authorizing the application
When clicking on the Launch OAuth Flow button, we'll start the OAuth web based flow. In the previous article, we used Signpost to handle the Oauth flow, and had a pretty complex flow, where we started an activity, launched the browser, started background tasks, and had to deal with onNewIntent calllbacks during the OAuth flow.
On top of that, launching the browser to show the Twitter authorization pages, a scenario where all of a sudden our application lost control and moved control to the browser, is a pretty unnatural flow with a lot of negative side-effects for the user. To name a couple :
- The user find himself in a browser environment all of a sudden.
- It's clear he's no longer in our application.
- What if the users decides to go back, or exit the browser app ?
- What if the user was browsing some site in his browser, will that page all of a sudden get replaced by our Twitter authorization page ?
In the previous sample, we launched a browser like this :
final String url = provider.retrieveRequestToken(consumer, Constants.OAUTH_CALLBACK_URL); Log.i(TAG, "Popping a browser with the authorize URL : " + url); Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)).setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY | Intent.FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND); context.startActivity(intent);
the Android WebView component
In this sample, we're not going to pop a full browser, but we're going to start a regular Android activity, and use the WebView component to launch our authorization page
Before we can start building the authorization URL, we first need to setup our OAuth signer object, request a temporary token, and use that temporary token to put in our authorization URL.
Twitter OAuth constants
All Twitter specific Oauth parameters are defined in a constants file.
public static final String CONSUMER_KEY = "PUT YOUR TWITTER OAUTH CONSUMER KEY HERE"; public static final String CONSUMER_SECRET= "PUT YOUR TWITTER OAUTH CONSUMER SECRET HERE"; public static final String REQUEST_URL = "http://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token"; public static final String ACCESS_URL = "http://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token"; public static final String AUTHORIZE_URL = "http://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize"; public static final String OAUTH_CALLBACK_URL = "http://localhost";
What we need are
- the OAuth consumer key and secret (can be found on the Twitter dev page for your app)
- the 3 OAuth endpoints (request,authorize and access)
- a callback URL.
When the authorization URL is launched in the Webview, you should see the following screen (when already logged into Twitter). When not logged in, a page will be shown allowing you to enter your Twitter credentials before moving to this page. Included on the page is some information related to your application (as you've defined them on the Twitter dev page), and an authorize button.
When the user hits the authorize button, Twitter will perform a redirect using our callback URL (set to http://localhost)
Intercepting the callback
And here's where the magic happens. As Twitter redirects to the callback URL, it's up to our app to intercept this redirect, pick up the 2 OAuth tokens from that callback URL (oauth token and oauth verifier). This authorization (and verifier) token is what we need in order to get an actual OAuth access token that is required to perform the Twitter API call.
Luckily for us, the WebView component allows us to register a WebViewClient, that has an important hook that we'll implement, the onPageStarted method.
This method is called each time a page is loaded into the WebView. As we're particulary interested in our callback URI, we'll only implement our logic when the URL in the WebView matches our Callback URL. When this is the case, we extract the oauth_token en oauth_verifier.
With the oauth_token en oauth_verifier, we can contact Twitter and exchange them for an actual OAuth access token.
As you can see from the code below, we extract both tokens from the callback URL.
We construct an OAuthGetAccessToken object, set the required properties (transport, temp authorization token, verifier token, signer and consumer key) and call it's execute method to retrieve the actual access token. The access token is embedded in the OAuthCredentialsResponse object.
String requestToken = extractParamFromUrl(url,"oauth_token"); String verifier= extractParamFromUrl(url,"oauth_verifier"); signer.clientSharedSecret = Constants.CONSUMER_SECRET; OAuthGetAccessToken accessToken = new OAuthGetAccessToken(Constants.ACCESS_URL); accessToken.transport = new ApacheHttpTransport(); accessToken.temporaryToken = requestToken; accessToken.signer = signer; accessToken.consumerKey = Constants.CONSUMER_KEY; accessToken.verifier = verifier; OAuthCredentialsResponse credentials = accessToken.execute();
What we need to do now is store the OAuth access token (and secret) in the shared preferences of our app. I've created a simple SharedPreferencesCredentialStore that is capable of reading / writing the 2 tokens from / to the shared preferences.
CredentialStore credentialStore = new SharedPreferencesCredentialStore(prefs); credentialStore.write(new String[] {credentials.token,credentials.tokenSecret});
Obviously, we don't have anythiung running on localhost, so in order to avoid the user getting confronted with an HTTP 404 Not Found error in his WebView, we hide the WebView (by setting the visibility to gone).
view.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); startActivity(new Intent(OAuthAccessTokenActivity.this,AndroidTwitterGoogleApiJavaClientActivity.class));
Executing the API
Upon returning to the main activity, with our OAuth access tokens safely stored in the shared preferences, all that's left to do know is execute the API call. This is done through the following utlity method.
public static void sendTweet(SharedPreferences prefs,String msg) throws Exception { String[] tokens = new SharedPreferencesCredentialStore(prefs).read(); AccessToken a = new AccessToken(tokens[0],tokens[1]); Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance(); twitter.setOAuthConsumer(Constants.CONSUMER_KEY, Constants.CONSUMER_SECRET); twitter.setOAuthAccessToken(a); twitter.updateStatus(msg); }
We retrieve the tokens from the shared preferences, use them to construct a Twitter AccessToken (Twitter4J component), and use the Twitter object to send our Tweet. Our main activity will confirm that the tweet has been sent.
To double check, you can always check your Twitter page as well :
I tried to show you a couple of things in this article :
A simplified way of dealing with the Oauth flow
By using a WebView component, we can have more control over the Oauth flow, as it's kept within the Android Activity lifecycle, without starting external programs. You can opt to run it fullscreen, or embedded in an Activity, providing some additional context to the user.
Using non-Google APIs in conjuction with the google api java client
So far, we've only used Google APIs when using the Google APIs Client Library for Java. Here we've shown that the OAuth flow was completely handled by the library, right untill the point where we retrieved the access token. After that, control was given to Twitter4J, a Java library for the Twitter API compatible with Android.

Pricing and Policy for Carbon Capture and Sequestration with Learning by Doing
David Nissen
Columbia University - Center for Energy, Marine Transportation and Public Policy
November 16, 2008
USAEE Working Paper No. 08-013
This paper derives the efficient tax-subsidy policy in an energy-economy-environment growth model with carbon emission externalities, and a carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) sector with learning by doing (LBD) externalities. First we derive the socially optimum pricing, quantities, cashflows, and valuation. Then we derive the government tax-subsidy policies for carbon emissions and CCS that support socially efficient economic behavior with a competitive CCS industry. The Social Accounting Matrix for supporting institutional structure is derived. We analyze the qualitative dynamics of the time paths of emissions and CCS and of pricing for atmospheric carbon, sequestration capacity, and LBD.
