This is the last preview in a series examining the 2014 fantasy baseball outlook of each major league team. Today, a look at the Rockies.
Stop me if you've heard this one before -- the Rockies have lots of offensive fantasy players and very few pitching options.
Sure, some of the names are different. Dexter Fowler is gone, shipped to Houston. Justin Morneau has to step into Todd Helton's shoes, which, while impossible from a team-icon point of view, is perfectly possible in terms of production. Jordan Lyles, who had trouble getting outs in Houston, moves to Coors Field along with Brett Anderson, who will try to stay healthy long enough to overcome the switch from Oakland to Colorado.
On the horizon, the Rockies might have a pair of pitchers, Eddie Butler and Jonathan Gray, who could whet fantasy owners appetites, but overall, if you've been playing fantasy baseball for any number of years, then you know what to expect from Colorado. Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez will be two of the game's best fantasy options -- when healthy. Wilin Rosario and Michael Cuddyer should provide solid production. At some point, you'll be able to talk yourself into playing just about any Rockies hitter and talk yourself out of nearly every Rockies pitcher, depending on if they're home or on the road that day.
And there's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes it's nice to have relatively straightforward choices available.
Key additions: 1B Justin Morneau, OF Drew Stubbs, LHP Brett Anderson, RHP Jordan Lyles, OF Brandon Barnes, LHP Franklin Morales.
Key subtractions: OF Dexter Fowler, LHP Drew Pomeranz, 1B Todd Helton.
Contract-year players: SP Brett Anderson (club option), OF Michael Cuddyer, SP Jorge De La Rosa, SP LaTroy Hawkins (club option), SP Franklin Morales.

How high is too high for CarGo and Tulo?
If Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki could stay healthy, they would each be top-five fantasy picks.
That's not hyperbole. It speaks to their value that despite not playing more than 145 games in any season since 2010, both are clear first-round picks. In that span, Gonzalez has averaged 27 home runs and nearly 22 steals while batting no worse than .295. Tulo hit 27, 30 and 25 home runs, respectively, in the seasons he played more than 100 games, also batting over .300 in each campaign.
But it's almost inevitable that both players will get hurt. Since 2007, Tulowitzki has played 101, 151, 133, 143, 47 and 126 games. Gonzalez has been a bit better, playing in 145, 127, 135 and 110 since the start of 2010. The bottom line with these two is not "if" they miss time, but "when" -- and "for how long?"
Yet, are fantasy owners overrating the injury issue? Consider that Andrew McCutchen, a consensus top-five pick, batted .317 with 21 homers and 27 steals in 157 games last year while Gonzalez hit 26 homers and stole 21 bases in his 110 games. Tulowitzki, a shortstop, hit 25 homers and batted .312.
Yes, you have to replace them when they get hurt, but you can replace them. In other words, if you draft CarGo or Tulo, you're getting their top-of-the-line rate production and then adding whatever their replacements bring in. Obviously, you have to be concerned that they might have the 47-game year Tulo had in '12, but if you get 120 games out of them, that's more than enough to justify the price you paid. If you get more, then you've made out like a bandit.
Fantasy's top three is pretty set with Mike Trout, Miguel Cabrera and Paul Goldschmidt, but beyond that, there's an argument to be made that Tulowitzki and Gonzalez deserve to be in the conversation.
Projected Lineup: 1. Corey Dickerson, LF; 2. Michael Cuddyer, RF; 3. Carlos Gonzalez, CF; 4. Troy Tulowitzki, SS; 5. Justin Morneau, 1B; 6. Wilin Rosario, C; 7. Nolan Arenado, 3B; 8. DJ LeMahieu, 2B.
Lineup Analysis: The Rockies lineup is a mix of fantasy studs, young guns and sleepers.
The 3-4 of Gonzalez and Tulowitzki is as solid as it comes (when they play). Surrounding them is 2013 NL batting champion Michael Cuddyer and newcomer Justin Morneau. Wilin Rosario brings plenty of punch from the catcher's spot, slugging 49 home runs over the past two seasons despite playing in just 238 games. Combine that with a solid batting average, and Rosario is one of the top catchers available.
Nolan Arenado provided solid, though unspectacular, production in his rookie campaign last season. DJ LeMahieu, who actually swiped 18 bases last year, is ticketed to either the leadoff spot or the eighth spot. The winner of the left field battle will take the spot in the order LeMahieu doesn't.
There's certainly a chance all eight Rockies position players are taken in mixed-league drafts. Nine were actually drafted in our Experts' League draft, with one manager even holding out hope this is the year Josh Rutledge, who doesn't currently have a starting job, finally figures it out.
Position Battle: Cuddyer and CarGo have two outfield spots locked down, but center field could end up a platoon with Corey Dickerson, Drew Stubbs, Charlie Blackmon and Brandon Barnes. Dickerson would have the highest upside of the group, having hit well in the minors, and he also seems like the best bet for playing time since Stubbs and Barnes have never hit for average. Last season, Dickerson batted .371 with 11 homers and six steals at Triple-A before putting up five dingers and two steals with a .263 average in 69 games in the bigs. … Formerly a highly-regarded prospect, Arenado was okay last season, batting .267 but with just 10 homers. His strikeout rate is conducive towards a high average (only 14 percent last year), but his power could improve. He's a solid middle-round third baseman with upside.
Sleeper: While he's no longer a huge power threat, Morneau at least stayed healthy last year. He hit 17 homers and batted .259, but it's worth mentioning he's moving from a home park that suppresses lefty power to one that enhances it. In other words, don't be shocked if Morneau pushes 20 homers this season.
Projected Rotation: 1. Jorge De La Rosa, LHP; 2. Brett Anderson, LHP; 3. Tyler Chatwood, RHP; 4. Juan Nicasio, RHP; 5. Franklin Morales, RHP. Also in the mix: Jordan Lyles, RHP.
Projected Bullpen: Closer: LaTroy Hawkins, RHP; Next-in-line: Rex Brothers, LHP.
Staff Analysis: Coors Field's reputation precedes itself, making no Rockies' starter overwhelmingly attractive for opening day.
But the problem isn't just Coors. Colorado's pitchers just don't profile well as fantasy starters. None of them miss a lot of bats, with Juan Nicasio registering the highest K/9 ratio (6.79) of players who threw at least 100 innings last year.
Part of that is because the Rockies seem to have realized that heavy fly-ball options have a small margin for error. The ability to induce ground balls is the primary trait they want from their starters, which is good for real-life production but is going to give you much in fantasy. As a result, you really can't rely on Rockies starters for much more than spot-starts in favorable parks in mixed leagues.
Relievers are a slightly different story. LaTroy Hawkins is no one's preferred pick at closer, but he's going to get save opportunities early on. If Hawkins falters, Rex Brothers would be the one who steps into the role. Control problems are an issue for Brothers, but his strikeout rate has been dominant in all three of his big-league seasons, striking out 11.17/9 over 175.2 big-league innings.
Position Battle: The back of the rotation has spots up for grab. Franklin Morales who has just 25 starts in the big leagues, is competing against former Astro Jordan Lyles. Neither would have any mixed-league value. … Rockies manager Walt Weiss says he may play matchups in the ninth innings, going with lefty Rex Brothers in the right matchups. We'll believe it when we see it. With that said, no one would be shocked if the 41-year-old Hawkins struggled in the role, so Brothers is worth a speculatory add late in drafts.
Sleeper: If any of the starting pitchers on the Rockies have a shot at being fantasy contributors, it's former A's lefty Brett Anderson. While he's moving from one of the best pitchers parks to arguably the worst, Anderson has the skill set you want from a Coors Field pitcher. He gets ground balls -- over 50 percent in all of his big-league seasons – and his career strikeout rate is 7.13/9. Of course, he's never thrown more than 175.1 innings in the bigs, and that was back in 2009. Since then, he's thrown just 275.1 innings over four years. It's worth keeping an eye on Anderson to see how he does at Coors, but he's no more than a mixed-league flier in the last round or two.
MEDICAL REPORT: Jhoulys Chacin is out for at least the first month of the season due to a shoulder strain. He wasn't going to be drafted in mixed leagues, but NL-only owners need to keep it in mind. … Carlos Gonzalez underwent an emergency appendectomy and hernia surgery during the offseason. He's been fine in spring training, so a greater concern is his finger injury from last year. He opted against surgery, but there's always a possibility it flares up at a later date. …Troy Tulowitzki has dealt with calf and fibula injuries this spring. He is playing in games again, though, so he should be ready for opening day.
PROSPECT WATCH: The good news for the Rockies is that they have two potential front-line starting pitchers on the horizon. The bad news is that we've heard it before (see Drew Pomeranz). … Eddie Butler jumped from A-ball to Double-A over the course of 2013, maintaining strong numbers throughout both levels. In fact, his control improved with each stop. But with only six starts (27.2 innings), Butler seems likely to start the year at Double-A. ... The No. 3 pick of the 2013 draft, Jonathan Gray, was already at High-A by the end of '13. He posted a dominant 24 innings, striking out 36 and walking just six. Pedigree or not, High-A isn't the majors. Keep an eye on him for the later half of the season. … The impact bat to watch is outfielder Kyle Parker, who slugged 23 homers and batted .288 in 123 games at Double-A. He's hit 20 homers are A-ball, High-A and Double-A, all while improving his strikeout rate. If he can hit at Triple-A, and Drew Stubbs, Brandon Barnes and Corey Dickerson all struggle, Parker could find his way into playing time at some point in '14 -- just don't expect it to be out of spring training.
SABR SECTION: It seems obvious to say but don't bet on Cuddyer to win another batting title this year. He had a .382 BABIP (career .312) after having a .287 mark his first year in Coors. … Wilin Rosario's power is for real, but his average may be a bit of a mirage. He struck out 23 percent of the time both of his first two seasons. BABIP was the only difference between his .270 average in 2012 versus his .292 one in '13. You can certainly live with a catcher who hits .265 with 25-homer power, but don't draft him necessarily expecting a high batting clip. … Rex Brothers' control issues were mentioned before, but just to be specific, he's has not sustained a walk rate below 4.43/9 since arriving at High-A. His strikeout rate is enough to get by with shoddy control, but over small samples relievers with poor control can blow up in disastrous ways.
POSITION ELIGIBILITY: Depending on your league settings DJ LeMahieu may have gained 3B eligibility. Not that you want to start him there, but a little flexibility never hurt anyone. … Should Josh Rutledge get another chance at some point, he will have second base and shortstop eligibility. … The Rockies say they want to get Wilin Rosario more work at first base. If they do, enjoy the extra playing time and extra flexibility you get from him in daily leagues.
BALLPARK EFFECT: It will shock no one to see Coors Field is at the top of our Ballpark Power Index as the friendliest hitters park in the majors. Statcorner.com lists it as being homer-friendly to both lefties and righties, though it is one of the nicest to lefty sluggers. Upgrade visiting lefty sluggers if you need daily plug-n-play options during the season.

Interview :( or :) sign?
Lol they just gotta be fair to the other interviewees since they already called them to come in.
I have had them say that before and I did get the job.
I think don't read too much into it I had interviewer say that to me and weeks later be offered the job, they have to interview everyone make sure they pick the right candidate. I say keep your hopes until you hear differently.
I've had to wait until they finish interviewing and have gotten the job before. They just want to be sure they choose the best person for the job. Don't sweat it, just wait till you hear something.
no it doesn't mean you didn't get the job. They aren't just going to offer you the job without interviewing the other applicants.

5 Myths About OpenOffice.org / LibreOffice
Most free software accumulates myths. Most people only know about it second hand (if at all), but few are slowed by the fact that they don't know what they are talking about.
As a large desktop application that is also cross-platform, OpenOffice.org (or should I say LibreOffice?) seems to have attracted more myths than most. Here are the top five that I have kept stumbling across in eight years of advocacy:
Most free software has faced this myth at one time or other. And, to be honest, sometimes it's true, in that some free software compares unfavorably with its proprietary counterparts.

Therapeutic Applications of Ultrasound
Ultrasound transducer and exposure chamber.
Ongoing work in the Dalecki lab is dedicated to discovering and advancing novel therapeutic applications of ultrasound. Therapeutic applications of ultrasound depend upon the direct interaction of the sound field with the tissue to produce the desired effect. For example, lithotripsy is the use of high intensity acoustic shock waves to fragment kidney stones non-invasively.
Many new ultrasound therapies are on the horizon, including drug delivery, wound healing, thrombolysis, high intensity focused ultrasound surgery, and gene transfection. Efforts focus on understanding the fundamental molecular, cellular, and physical mechanisms underlying therapeutic ultrasound approaches. Knowledge of basic mechanisms provides the power to design optimized exposure parameters, identify synergistic therapies, and engineer exposure systems that maximize the therapeutic effects of ultrasound while minimizing adverse side effects.
This line of research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and The Whitaker Foundation.

On Wednesday, Lowe's (NYSE: LOW ) will release its latest quarterly results. The key to making smart investment decisions on stocks reporting earnings is to anticipate how they'll do before they announce results, leaving you fully prepared to respond quickly to whatever inevitable surprises arise. That way, you'll be less likely to make an uninformed knee-jerk reaction to news that turns out to be exactly the wrong move.
Lowe's has played the role of sidekick to industry leader Home Depot (NYSE: HD ) for a long time, with Home Depot having earned a spot in the Dow Jones Industrials while Lowe's has languished behind. Yet despite having a market cap just half Home Depot's size right now, Lowe's has plenty of growth opportunities that could help it catch up with its archrival. Let's take an early look at what's been happening with Lowe's over the past quarter and what we're likely to see in its quarterly report.
Stats on Lowe's
Analyst EPS Estimate
Change From Year-Ago EPS
Revenue Estimate
$13.45 billion
Change From Year-Ago Revenue
Earnings Beats in Past 4 Quarters
Did Lowe's earnings get chilly this quarter?
Analysts have largely stuck by their views on Lowe's earnings, cutting just a single penny from their estimates for the just-ended quarter and the current fiscal year. The stock has done fairly well, rising about 8% since mid-February.
Lowe's has a much longer history of serving the home-improvement market than many investors realize. Even though the company has seen plenty of up and down cycles, Lowe's has managed to earn a spot among the Dividend Aristocrats by raising its annual dividend every single year for the past half-century. More recently, Lowe's has accelerated its dividend growth pace, with its payout having almost doubled in just the past five years.
But Lowe's hasn't done a good job of matching up against Home Depot's strength. While Home Depot has incorporated better use of its workers' skill sets and greater use of innovative technology to help improve efficiency and boost profits from its commercial customers, Lowe's has faced the headwinds of weakness in the appliance space and other pure do-it-yourself project materials.
Moreover, some investors worry that the huge run-up in Lowe's stock price already indicates overheated expectations for the retailer. Earlier today, Oppenheimer downgraded the stock, maintaining its favorable price target on Lowe's but removing its buy rating in advance of the earnings release.
Still, Lowe's expects the good times to continue and is taking steps to capitalize, with plans to hire 9,000 permanent part-time employees. CEO Robert Niblock believes that the recent rebound in home prices is finally making customers willing to spend on improving their homes, and it expects to see greater remodeling activity in the near future.
In Lowe's earnings report, look closely at the impact of a fairly cold start to the spring season on its sales of garden and outdoor materials. Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT ) already identified the weather as a factor in its weak quarterly report, and many of its stores have extensive lawn and garden offerings. If Lowe's follows suit, it could prove to be the catalyst that sends the stock falling from its heights, at least temporarily.
The best investing approach is to choose great companies and stick with them for the long term.

Used Harley Davidson Motorcycle, $10,000 Cheaper for 16 Miles
|Email Print
I have a funny story about my uncle that I wanted to share with you all. Sometime in the last year he bought a Harley Davidson Motorcycle and as a gift of some kind, his friends had gotten him a Harley Davidson leather jacket that was either too big or too small. So, he was at a dealership trying to get the sizes swapped on the jacket when a guy was trying to sell his newly purchased motorcycle back to the dealership. Apparently what happened was that he bought it, rode it home, got into a fight with his wife and had to return it. The only problem is that the dealership couldn't accept his return even though he only drove sixteen miles (home and back) and bought it earlier that day. They argued a little bit and eventually the dealership said they could sell it for him, obviously in their used department, but it would cost him. My uncle, hearing the commotion, asked what was going on and heard the story. That's when my uncled offered to buy the motorcycle off the guy for $10,000 less than what he just paid a few hours earlier. $10,000 off a basically new motorcycle with a mere 16 miles… incredible.
Two lessons to take away from this:
1. Sometimes you're just at the right place at the right time.
2. Talk to your wife before you go buying a motorcycle you moron.
(My dad told me this story when I was home one weekend and I thought it was funny. I don't know if I messed up the details in my memory but it went something like that. Just so you know, my uncle has a habit of getting stuff at great deals because of luck, haggling, etc. This story is just about par for the course){ 6 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

The pendulum has swung. Culture change is coming to Arizona State University. The days of frat-house football are over.
"I hear there's going to be no dancing allowed," said a member of the previous regime. "There are going to be a lot of unhappy players."
Wait. No dancing?
This might be a promising hire, after all.
This is not meant to fully endorse the Todd Graham Era just yet. There are too many angry people in his wake to conscientiously ignore. Even the Steelers were reportedly happy to see him leave the facility they share with the University of Pittsburgh.
Yet the new ASU coach doesn't seem to mind the harsh reception. Or that he's not exactly embraced by iconic Sun Devils from the past. And it says something when you live in Pittsburgh and don't mind stepping on Steeler toes.
You're either very bold or very stupid, and I'm guessing it's more of the former.
Graham has already made his intentions known. During a team meeting on Thursday, he laid out some of the new rules.
"No filthy language. No bandanas. When guys come in the building, they take out their earrings as a symbolic gesture, as a show of respect to the program," Graham said. "Discipline is born from relationships, not from yelling and screaming, and today I asked for their permission. I said, 'I'm asking for your permission to coach you hard. I'm asking your permission to set the standard.'"
You can almost hear the stomachs churn.
"It's all about sacrifice," Graham said. "I won't let them Twitter during the season. But here's what happens: Kids say, 'Why, coach? Why can't we?' Well, I didn't get to ask why when I was growing up. It was, 'Yes sir, no sir. Yes ma'am, no ma'am.' And that's what I believe in.
"I told them, 'You're going to be uncomfortable. You're going to wonder why you have to take out the trash or pick things up off the floor.' Players begin to think, 'Wait, I'm a big-time athlete. I thought I was entitled to be treated like a king.' I asked them for a little bit of trust because I really believe discipline is how you win."
Every football coach talks about discipline. Remember how angry Dennis Erickson would look when one of his players committed a dumb penalty? Even if it happened 12 times a game for five years, he still looked flummoxed that his team could be so stupid. That was all an act.
Graham is different. His indefinite suspension of Junior Onyeali proves he's not all talk. And in the case of ASU's football team, an infusion of discipline is sorely needed.
Problem is, it won't be well-received in the coming months. Many players came here because of Erickson's loose culture. Many will leave or endure rough transitions in 2012, and the coaching change might have already pushed Brock Osweiler out the door for the NFL a year too early, even though former offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone said he recommended the quarterback remain at ASU for one more season.
That won't reflect well on Graham, but that's the way it works in sports. When a team becomes sloppy and unfocused, the easy-going coach is replaced with a disciplinarian. When a team begins suffocating under a dictatorship, the next head coach is guaranteed to user-friendly and liberating. When Bob Brenly replaced a classic control freak in Arizona, he pulled out a cocktail napkin to read his team rules.
There will be attrition, defections at ASU. That won't help the mood on campus, and already, the national criticism of Graham and his wanderlust has made it hard to celebrate the new hire. But ASU fans surely recognize the need for a tighter ship. By the end of the season, there were too many players acting foolishly, and the discipline problem was too easily blamed on Vontaze Burfict.
"I don't believe in taunting, and a lot of that stuff is, 'Hey, look at me!' " Graham said. "I believe in having fun, but we're going to be extremely sportsmanlike. We're not going to taunt the other team. When we score a touchdown, we're going to act like we've been there before. The deal is, if you have a standard and you lower it for somebody, then you don't have a standard."
ASU will have a new standard in 2012, and Graham confirmed there will be no dancing allowed. No matter what you think of the new regime, that will be a welcome change.

Only one lane will be open for traffic on westbound Interstate 70 at the Blanchette Missouri River Bridge in St. Louis, mile marker 230, from 11 p.m. Friday until 8 a.m. Saturday, due to pavement repair.
The Missouri Transportation Department says the westbound exit ramp to southbound Fifth Street will also be closed.
One official advises truckers to use an alternate route of I-70 west and then take I-270 north to state route 370 west and then get back on I-70 west
The one open lane on westbound I-70 will only be 10 feet wide.
The ramp to northbound Fifth Street will remain open so traffic needing to access southbound Fifth Street can exit to northbound Fifth Street and find a safe place to turn around to access southbound Fifth Street.
Drivers that decide to go through the area are advised to slow down in the work zone and obey the posted 45 mph speed limit.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
This morning the weekly initial jobless-claims report was released for last week, coming in at 305,000 -- lower than the previously revised reading of 310,000 and much lower than the expected 330,000 new claims economists had forecast. Additionally, the four-week moving average for claims is not down to 308,000, which is a level we have not consistently seen since 2007.
The positive jobs report has helped push the major indexes higher this afternoon: As of 12:45 p.m. EDT the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) is up 47 points, or 0.31%, while the S&P 500 is 0.35% higher and the NASDAQ has risen 0.63%. Nevertheless, a few losers can be found within the Dow.
Dow losers
Yesterday Intel (NASDAQ: INTC ) announced that it would keep its quarterly dividend at $0.222 per share -- the same amount as the past five quarterly distributions. The previous amount of $0.21 per share was increased after four quarters, while the amount prior to that was raised after just two. While it's unlikely that investors are selling today strictly because of the dividend amount, the stagnant payment may now begin to raise questions among investors about the health of the company. When board members believe the company is strong and will continue to produce a sustainable amount of free cash flow that can be paid back to shareholders, they raise the dividend. But when they're unsure about how much money will be coming in, they either decrease the dividend amount or simply maintain it, as Intel has decided to do. Shares of Intel are lower by 1.6% today.
Shares of Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO ) are also moving lower today because of news from yesterday. Last night on CNBC's Closing Bell, Cisco CEO John Chambers presented a challenging road ahead for the company. Chambers said that while the U.S. is a growth engine, European demand is recovering and emerging markets are "mixed." The company provided weaker-than-expected guidance for the fourth quarter last month after reporting earnings, so news that a number of markets the company operates in are performing poorly shouldn't be a surprise. But when your CEO comes out on national television a month after first telling investors things will be tough, it doesn't suggest that this will not be a short-lived downturn. Cisco's stock is down 1.3% today.
Lastly, shares of Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT ) are down 0.6% this afternoon. My colleague Reuben Brewer recently noted that the company has recognized that in the short term, business may struggle due to regulations on the coal industry and the current economic downturn happening throughout the world. But management believes the company has a long runway ahead of it based on world population increases and the need for basic structures, roads, and so on, which will all require Caterpillar's equipment to build. Furthermore, the increase in population will increase the demand for energy and most likely coal will be a part of that equation. It may be hard to deny that Caterpillar will be around for the long run and that as population growth occurs, construction will be necessary. But all of this unfortunately will not happen for a number of years, and that doesn't help an investor who wants returns today and feels that if Caterpillar can't provide them, someone else will.

Rumor: Will Spidey Meet Other Marvel Heroes in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'?
Posted on Friday, August 2nd, 2013 by Angie Han
Unlike the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, or even the Justice League, Spider-Man's more or less a solo act. Yes, he's been part of the Avengers and the Fantastic Four in comic books, but in the movies he's now a lone Marvel Comics hero over at Sony.
But as the Amazing Spider-Man franchise builds to the (rumored) introduction of the Sinister Six, Spidey could be in need of a little help. And he just might get it, judging by producer Avi Arad's reaction when asked whether another Marvel superhero might appear in the next film. Hit the jump to see what he said.

FAU Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing Launches Training Program for Foreign Nurses
BOCA RATON , FL (March 6, 2007) - Neeraj Kumari dreamed about launching a nursing career in the United States for a long time. She worked as a nurse in India for more than four years, but wanted a better-paying job that would allow her to take on a more active role in patient care. She hesitated, fearing that she lacked the practical knowledge and skills to successfully make the transition. The prospect of leaving her family and friends thousands of miles behind and being alone in a strange country was daunting.
"I come from a country where doctors have primary responsibility for providing health care," says Kumari. "Although I have strong nursing skills and experience, my knowledge about the American system of health care and how to perform certain nursing functions was limited."
Kumari learned about a special training program offered by Medical Staffing Network (MSN) and the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) designed to help foreign nurses adapt to working and living in the United States. She accepted a position as a surgical nurse at a hospital in California and enrolled in the training program based at FAU's College of Nursing in Boca Raton, FL.
At first, the rigorous, eight-day program was overwhelming. Kumari had to get up-to-speed on the skills and knowledge she needed to work in a radically different health care environment. After completing the program, she is confident about her ability to succeed in her new job.
"I learned on a patient simulator about heart and lung sounds and worked hard on my communication skills," said Kumari. "I'm not afraid of making mistakes on patients anymore. I wish all nurses from my country would get this kind of training before they start working in hospitals. It's a good place to begin."
The critical shortage of registered nurses in the United States has led many employers to recruit foreign nurses to fill the ever-widening staff gap. There are currently 126,000 vacant nursing positions in the United States, and the Department of Health and Human Services predicts this number will rise to one million by 2010. With the aging of the baby boomers, that trend is likely to persist for many years.
The process of adjusting to a strange culture and mastering new clinical practices and technology can be very intimidating for foreign nurses. They often have little or no support as they make the transition to living and working in this country, which can affect their ability to perform their jobs.
To meet this need, MSN and the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing at FAU decided to create a training program for foreign nurses. Terry Eggenberger, an instructor at the College of Nursing, developed a telephone survey and interviewed a number of nurses from a variety of countries and nursing specialties who had lived and worked in the U.S. from six months to two years. After reviewing the data, she worked with MSN to design a curriculum that would help foreign nurses integrate successfully into patient care teams.
The six nurses from India who were selected to participate in the program were carefully pre-screened. All of them practiced nursing in their own country for at least three years, and many had experience in critical care, pediatrics and oncology. They had to refine their written and verbal English skills and successfully complete written competency testing in their area of expertise before being placed in long-term hospital assignments. All of the nurses had accepted positions at hospitals in California.
The training program at the College of Nursing provided a combination of didactic and hands-on learning. The nurses attended mini-seminars on critical thinking and pharmacology, and engaged in discussions about unfamiliar health care issues such as health insurance and managed care. They practiced head-to-toe assessment of heart and lung sounds on patient simulators. They learned how to communicate effectively with physicians and methods for non-verbal communication with patients.
The foreign nurses also met with the nursing managers and directors who will supervise them in their new positions. "Hospitals have a huge job of trying to integrate foreign nurses into nursing practice and American culture," said Pat Donohoe, chief nursing officer at MSN. "These meetings gave them more insight as to what resources nurses will need to get up- to-speed. The opportunity to form these bonds was helpful for the nurses."
Eggenberger said that the program enhanced the skills and confidence of the nurses. "We gave them an arsenal of tools to help them to adapt and achieve successful patient outcomes," she said.
Florida Atlantic University's Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing is committed to nurturing the wholeness of persons and environment through caring.

50 Rules Kids Won't Learn in School: Real-World Antidotes to Feel-Good Educationby Charles J. Sykes
Charles J. Sykes offers life lessons that are not included in the curriculum for most children today: honest advice about what they will encounter in the "real world " post-schooling and how their parents can help them best prepare--not with cushy self-esteem talks, but rather with honest challenges.

Some storms possible tonight
EL PASO, Texas - Some storms tonight. Most will move to the N/NW. Any storms that develop will fall on already saturated ground so that will easily cause some flooding issues.
Also, any storms that develop will likely cause a flash flood warning pretty quickly and that would throw us in First Alert mode.
Storms will be in the forecast again tomorrow and likely Wednesday before we start to dry out a bit for late week and weekend.

SeaWolves' winning streak snapped at 5
PORTLAND, Maine -- A night after the Erie SeaWolves had 20 hits, lefthander Henry Owens allowed two hits in eight shutout innings as the Portland Sea Dogs went on to a 5-1 victory Wednesday night before a crowd of 3,218 at Hadlock Field.
Portland, which has the Eastern League's best record, stopped a five-game winning streak by the SeaWolves (27-30).
Owens (7-3) struck out six and walked two, with Erie scoring its lone run in the top of the ninth off Noe Ramirez, who allowed a single to Devon Travis and an RBI double by Steven Moya.
Bo Greenwell led off the bottom of the first with a home run to right against Erie starter Jeff Ferrell (4-5).
In the bottom of the fourth, Jonathan Roof tripled and Derrik Gibson plated him with a single.
Ferrell allowed eight hits and walked three in five innings.
The score remained the same until the eighth, when the Sea Dogs (39-20) added three runs off reliever Guido Knudson. A bases-loaded force out scored one run, and two came home on a pop-fly single over third by Blake Swihart, who had three of the 12 Portland hits. Keury De La Cruz and Gibson had two hits apiece.
Erie finishes its series with Portland today at 7 p.m.

I love long dresses, and I can generally wear with platforms but with platforms, it's a big long still. I noticed the hem keeps flipping up, and I thought it was me but I saw another girl wearing the same dress and I noticed it did the same thing to her. It looks great on me and is super flattering and made well, but the bottom of the dress annoys me.

I got this in the navy and I like it a lot, a winter wardrobe staple that's different from anything else I have. To be safe I got the large because I know that this material is super-clingy; I could have probably gotten away with the medium but it's still quite form-fitting and flattering. (it's also very long, down to my ankles and i'm 5'6") I think it looks best with a long necklace or pretty scarf, flats or boots...very versatile and a warm, comfy way to dress up a bit in the cold weather.

I am a curvier gal and this fits like a dream. And it is very warm. It feels a little tight in the neck. However, even without a bra, I feel supported. I would feel comfortable wearing this outside of the house. Maybe even a little sexy. I plan to buy another.

I have this dress in all the colors so far. I love how warm it is and that it is not so tight around the feet. I wish AA would do more colors before it gets too warm. I would love a forest green and nude or camel color. I usually wear it with control top tights ( to make sure everything is smooth and a statement necklace. I LOVE THIS DRESS!!!
What size did you get, C? I'm almost exactly the same weight/height 147/5'8'' and can't decide between a medium and a large.

Over the last few years I've pared down my closet by 75%, which takes some bravery but feels amazing. Couldn't have done it without American Apparel. I got this in black: it fits with just the right closeness and looks best w/ uncomplicated hair and light makeup, like the picture. It's comfortable on, wears well over hours, and enters (and exits?) the room like an atom bomb.

Migratory Wildlife Network Assesses CMS Influence, NGO Relations
26 July 2012: The Migratory Wildlife Network has published the report of its Civil Society Dialogue, conducted by the Network and the Friends of CMS on the margins of the 10th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species (CMS) (COP 10). A key issue that emerged from the dialogue, according to the Migratory Wildlife Network, is that NGOs' relationship with, and contribution to, CMS and its family of agreements is not well understood.
As a follow-up to that dialogue, the Migratory Wildlife Network announced that it is conducting a review of NGO perspectives on CMS as a mechanism, its influence and implementation, and NGO contributions to this influence and implementation. The final Review will be made available to CMS Parties as a contribution to the CMS Strategic Planning process, and will form the basis of the next stage of the Civil Society Dialogue discussions.
Interested NGOs can contact the Director of the Migratory Wildlife Network at firstname.lastname@example.com. [Website of Migratory Wildlife Network] [Discussions of the 1st CMS Civil Society Dialogue]

America surpasses Europe in wine consumption
America's love affair with wine continues. We're pulling further ahead of Europe, but seeing increased competition from China. That's the conclusion of a new study by Vinexpo, the world's most influential wine exhibition, which takes place June 16-22 in Bordeaux, France, expecting 48,000 visitors from 140 nations.
Here's what the study found:
- United States sippers reaffirmed our country's role as the world's No. 1 wine consumer, drinking 3.8 billion bottles in 2011, up 4.5 percent from 2010. We will sip an additional two bottles each a year by 2016, the study says.
- We love champagnes and sparkling wines, with consumption up 18 percent between 2007 and 2011.
- We still like white wines, with consumption up 10 percent since 2007 -- led by pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc and moscato, with chardonnay slumping. White wines make up 40 percent of the wines we drink.
- Sixty percent of the wines Americans drink are red, although we lost to China our position as the world's third-largest red wine consumer after France and Italy. Our top three reds: cabernet sauvignon, merlot and pinot noir
- As Americans drink more wine, France is drinking more Coca-Cola -- tripling its consumption in the past 20 years.

Fake journos assault doctor, five arrested
By Express News Service - CHENNAI
Published: 12th November 2012 09:46 AM
Last Updated: 12th November 2012 09:46 AM
Five men who posed as journalists and reportedly threatened and assaulted a doctor to extort money at Sathangadu, near Tiruvottiyur, were arrested on Sunday.
Police said Venkateswaralu, a doctor from Sathyamurthy Nagar, Tiruvottiyur, ran a clinic in his area. On Saturday night, the five suspects, later identified as Kasim, Ravi Kumar, Mahesh, Senthil and Ravi, allegedly arrived at his clinic in a car. Claiming that they were journalists, police said the men reportedly threatened the doctor alleging he was a quack and that they would file a complaint against him with the health department.
Police sources said the men continued threatening the doctor and demanded Rs 5,000 even after he furnished his academic certificates. They also demanded Rs 5,000 every month. The sources added that one of the men reportedly assaulted the doctor in an altercation. Following the incident, Venkateswaralu complained to Sathangadu police, who later caught the five men.
Police sources said apart from Kasim, who worked in a small magazine, the rest of them were not journalists.
Police sources added that Kasim would regularly drop off a copy of his magazine to the local police station. The doctor treated the poor for free. Following a complaint by Venkateswaralu, police registered a case under various sections of the penal code against the five suspects.

Formal notice of participation will be sent out October 25, 2012.
Many provocative lines of inquiry in the life sciences are reanimating
notions that anthropologists largely see as culturally and politically
constructed divisions of human social and biological life. Race, sex,
gender, disease tendencies, psychological capacity, and pharmaceutical
susceptibility are increasingly reiterated through high-tech science, often
in reductive ways. In this workshop we will examine these and other objects
of study within cultures of science. Specifically, we will ask students to
think about how global politics, market trends, and cultural politics of
belonging and inclusion play into the naturalization of difference today.
In discussing the importance of conducting ethnographies of science, we will
also engage problems of knowledge more broadly. Beyond simply glossing how
human difference is socially constructed within science, we hope to push
further and encourage students to begin to describe the material,
physiological, and biological effects of how global disparities are
evidenced in their field sites. What are the processes through which such
disparities become attributed to specific bodies and populations? What
scientific grammars and cultural politics merge to make such knowledge
Dilemmas of Studying Charitable, Humanitarian, Human Rights, and
Development Organizations in Insecure States
Facilitator: Erica Caple James (MIT)
Recent literature in anthropology has begun to focus intensively on the
historical and contemporary roles that governmental, nongovernmental, and
other institutional actors have played in managing and governing "life,"
while also delivering compassionate "care." Whether in studies of charity,
humanitarian relief, development, or other kinds of aid, contemporary
relationships based on gift-giving and exchanges of knowledge, practices,
technologies, therapies, and other discursive "objects," remain central
theoretical paradigms that are "good to think." This workshop is designed to
build an ongoing conversation to support anthropologists working on issues
of violence and trauma, human and civil rights, and organized
humanitarianism ("faith-based," "secular," etc.) in (post)conflict,
(post)disaster, and other "transitional" settings. The workshop welcomes
participants grappling with the moral and ethical dimensions of "activist
anthropology" and the methodological challenges of studying organizations,
as well as ethnographers engaged in clinical or therapeutic settings.
Facilitators: John Collins (CUNY) and Carole McGranahan (University of
What does it mean to put together anthropology and history, and why should
they be put together? How might ethnographers do so in ways that are
conceptually, methodologically, and theoretically sophisticated? That is,
how does one undertake historically "thick" scholarship as an
anthropologist? In this workshop, we consider history as a
culturally-specific epistemology, an academic discipline, and a social
ontology, arguing that sophisticated approaches to these domains and their
overlaps is critical to productive engagement with a variety of pasts,
presents, and futures. Such work may take a wide range of forms, from
examining different temporal ways of knowing, the production of history, the
politics of memory, lived experiences in earlier periods, the constitution
of historical subjectivities, and concerns with histories of the present.
What does it mean, for example, to do ethnography in the archives or
historical research in the field? What is the difference between oral and
ethnographic history? How might anthropologists move between scales-from
life histories to those of communities ranging from villages through states
and global institutions-in ways that remain committed to an ethnographic
sensibility? In a nutshell, then, how might anthropologists' long-term
concerns with institutions and the cultural bases of knowledge and truth be
integrated more effectively into an exploration of historical consciousness
in the world today?

Before Michelle Monaghan went public with news that she's pregnant with her first child, her Made of Honor costar, Patrick Dempsey was already aware of her condition.
"It was a big secret, and I wasn't allowed to tell anyone, but I knew Michelle was pregnant, and I am thrilled for her," Dempsey, 42, told PEOPLE on Friday – as he prepared to race this weekend in the Six Hours of the Glen Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series at Watkins Glen International in upstate New York.
"She will be a great mom because she has a good head on her shoulders, a fine husband, and overall, she is a lovely woman," he said.
Dempsey, who with wife Jillian has 18-month-old twin sons (Darby and Sullivan), and a 6-year-old daughter (Talula), gave Monaghan, 32, some advice on being a first- time parent.
"I told Michelle she may not see it now, but her life will change profoundly after she delivers the baby," he recounts. "I told her being a parent is a feeling that she will not understand until she actually has the child."
Dempsey, who races as often as his acting schedule allows – he's due to report back to the set of Grey's Anatomy June 25 – is looking forward to one day bringing his entire family to the racetrack with him.
"Jillian always tells me to be careful when I leave the house for a race," says Dempsey, who is competing for the first time at Watkins Glen International. "It is hard to leave the family on weekends because I love spending time with the kids, but I also love to race. I count the days until they can come with me, and we can all be here together."

Published May 12, 2014
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a report last week on the massive economic and health impact of the landmark 1992-2002 clinical trial that considered the health consequences of combined hormone therapy (CHT). The trial was conducted by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI).
The disease-simulation modeling report, published in the current issue of Annals of Internal Medicine, found that the WHI trial has provoked a sea change in women's medical treatment, saved thousands of lives and, for an upfront cost of $260 million (in 2012 dollars), produced a net economic return of $37.1 billion — a return of $140 for every dollar invested in the trial.
The CHT trial, one of the most expensive studies ever funded by the NIH, was conducted from 1992-2002 in 40 clinical center locations throughout the United States, including the Buffalo WHI Center headed by Jean Wactawski-Wende, professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health, UB School of Public Health and Health Professions.
"The NIH report highlights the importance of funding
medical research and conducting large-scale clinical
Wactawski-Wende says. "We now know that as a result of the decline of combined hormone therapy, a projected 126,000 women were spared a breast cancer diagnosis and many thousands more spared diagnoses of cardiovascular disease and deep vein thrombosis.
"We are proud to be a part of this research," she says, "and it's important that we acknowledge the women who joined this study. They have had a positive impact on the lives of many other women."
To date, more than 160,000 women have participated in the WHI studies, nearly 4,000 from Western New York. Of these, 27,000 women participated in the CHT trials — about 700 from Western New York.
Wactawski-Wende explains the CHT trial was conducted between 1993 and 2002, and its outcomes reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 2002. The trial was stopped in July 2002 when it was found that, although CHT did combat bone loss, hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause, it also significantly raised a woman's chance of developing cardiovascular disease, stroke, blood clots and breast cancer.
When the negative consequences of CHT were reported, it provoked a fast decline worldwide in the use of menopausal hormone therapy. Shortly after this, a national reduction in breast cancer was seen. Similar findings were reported worldwide.
Joshua A. Roth of Seattle's Fred Hutchinson Cancer Institute, first author of the NIH report, says it cites certain down sides to the drop in CHT use.
These include 263,000 more women who reported having an osteoporotic fracture and 15,000 more diagnosed with colorectal cancer. However, Roth says he and his colleagues concluded that the quality of life, mortality and cost impacts of these increases were more than offset by decreases in breast cancer, cardiovascular disease and blood clots. The study pointed out that other therapies can help prevent fracture, with fewer side effects than CHT.

For Immediate Release
Trade News Release
November 3, 2005
Contact: Frank Meilinger
Phone: (202) 693-1999
WASHINGTON -- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) today formed an Alliance with the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) and the Pulp and Paper Safety Association (PPSA) to further promote worker safety and health, with a focus on preventing exposure to ergonomic-related hazards.
"This Alliance greatly expands OSHA's reach in our effort to provide safety and health information to professionals in these two important industries," said Jonathan L. Snare, Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA. "We look forward to using our joint expertise to provide workers in the forest and paper-related industries with training and knowledge that will help them stay safe and healthy on the job."
"Our association is very pleased to join with OSHA and PPSA on this important venture," added Sharon Kneiss, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs at AF&PA. "We support efforts to reduce musculoskeletal disorders in the workplace. We look forward to working together with these organizations and achieving our common objective."
"We are very pleased to join the American Forest & Paper Association in an Alliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration," stated Pamela J. Cordier, PPSA Executive Director. "We look forward to assisting both OSHA employees and our industry's workers in determining what ergonomic-related hazards may exist in our production processes and to the development of success stories."
Through the Alliance, OSHA, AF&PA and PPSA will provide members of the organizations and others in the forest, pulp, paper, and paper-converting industries with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect employees' health and safety, particularly in reducing and preventing exposure to ergonomic hazards.
The Alliance members will develop workplace safety and health curricula and materials on the recognition and prevention of ergonomic-related hazards, and provide expertise in developing ways of communicating the information to employers and employees in the industry. The organizations will participate in forums, round table discussions, and stakeholder meetings.
A team of OSHA, AF&PA, and PPSA representatives will meet at least three times a year to develop an action plan, determine working procedures, and identify the roles and responsibilities of the participants. OSHA will also encourage state plan states and consultation projects to participate in the Alliance.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual process improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.

Yep, I get phlegmy when I eat takeaway chips.
The past two times I've eaten out at restaurants using vegetable oil I've experienced a sudden deep throat phlegm build up, increased sinus pressure (and eye tearing) along with mental fatigue and sleepiness... and I'm pretty sure it's the oils (it sure wasn't the grass-fed lamb or coconut milk).
I also get a gnarly taste on the back of my tongue when I eat something off... it's hard too explain but it tastes "dirty" as opposed to a "clean" mouth feel. Sometimes my mouth/tongue itches.
I get similar reactions when I eat dairy and wheat and soy... the primary culprits of the CW diet (although dairy is absolutely the worst for me).
Does anyone else get these reactions or am I just crazy and placebo-ing myself into hell?
Yep, I get phlegmy when I eat takeaway chips.
I'm not sure if it depends on the amount used or the specific type, but they generally make me feel like shit. I get a stomach ache and start having some rather noticeable issues with phlegm and so on.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own experience.
In the mind of the beginner, there are many possibilities; in the mind of the expert, there are few.

HAPPY - The legs of Sands' Nate Looney and Heath Webb outlasted the passing arm of Fort Elliott's Jason Hathaway - barely.
The Sands running game was just enough to give the Mustangs a 45-41 win Friday night in a six-man football state quarterfinals game at the Cowboy Corral.
Sands, 12-1, advanced to meet tonight's Valley-Sanderson winner in next week's semifinals. The Mustangs got 105 yards rushing and two overall touchdowns from Looney while Webb added 100 yards on 16 carries and three overall scores.
Fort Elliott, making the playoffs for the first time, ended its season at 12-1.
With neither team able to shake the other in the second half, the momentum of the game may have hinged on a call that went against Fort Elliott late in the third quarter. Sands led 37-35, but Fort Elliott drove to the Mustangs' 10-yard line, facing a third-and-7.
Hathaway rolled right and appeared to let go of his pass behind the 10, and it was caught for an apparent touchdown. But Hathaway was ruled to be beyond the line of scrimmage, and the touchdown was wiped out.
With a loss of down also assessed on the penalty, Hathaway's next pass into the end zone was incomplete on fourth down.
Sands responded by going 65 yards in 10 plays to take a 10-point lead. On fourth-and-6 at the Fort Elliott 16, Jeremy Renteria passed to Looney for a touchdown pass with 6:04 to play. Julian Mojica's PAT gave Sands the largest lead of the game, 45-35.
Hathaway, who passed for 256 yards and four touchdowns, drove the Cougars 65 yards with six pass completions. His last, a 1-yarder to Wesley Hathaway, pulled the Cougars to within 45-41 with 3:06 remaining.
Fort Elliott pinned Sands at its 3 on the ensuing kickoff. The Cougars had two timeouts remaining, but a huge play on third-and-9 enabled Sands to keep the ball as Webb ran 20 yards to the Mustangs' 30 for a first down.
Fort Elliott did regain possession with 35 seconds remaining at its 27. A long pass to Junior Gonzales was broken up by Renteria on second down. A big play was Fort Elliott's best chance, but all four Hathaway pass attempts fell incomplete.
Fort Elliott took a 28-23 halftime lead on the strength of the passing of Jason Hathaway. He completed nine of 17 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns. Hathaway's 30-yard touchdown pass to Junior Newman on the game's fourth play gave the Cougars a 7-0 lead.
With the Cougars trailing 16-15 in the second quarter, Hathaway found his favorite target, Gonzales, who beat cornerback Looney for a 23-yard touchdown with 5:17 left in the first half. Hathaway's conversion pass to Kade Zybach gave the Cougars a 22-16 lead.
After Fort Elliott stopped Sands at the Cougars' 37, Fort Elliott marched the distance in only three plays. Gonzales made a circus catch at the Sands 7, leaping to take the ball away from Looney.
Two plays later, Zybach scored on a sweep. The extra-point kick was blocked, and the Cougars led 28-16.
But in a wild first half, Sands marched right back. On third-and-13 from the Mustangs' 31, Renteria found Brandon Woods a step beyond Fort Elliott's Newman. The scoring pass covered 69 yards for a touchdown with 49 seconds left in the first half, and cut the Cougars' lead to 28-23.
