Beowulf is the longest epic poem in Old English, and one of the earliest surviving literary texts from the English-speaking world. From this unique manuscript, to the precocious wit of the teenage Jane Austen and the pathos of Wilfred Owen's Great War poetry, the Library holds works from some of the greatest writers in the English language, spanning over 1000 years of literary history. Particularly fascinating are the drafts and re-drafts of some of our greatest literary treasures, which offer a unique insight into the processes and influences that have helped create these iconic works.

TV Ratings: 'Grammy Salute to the Beatles' is big, but can't match Olympics on Sunday
Competitive 9 p.m. hour also included 'Walking Dead,' with ratings to come
CBS got a pretty huge overall audience for "The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles," but that audience skewed old and couldn't match NBC's Sunday Olympics coverage from Sochi in any measure.
The Sunday Olympics coverage, which featured downhill skiing and a wide range of figure skating, was in line with Saturday's audience overall and rose from Saturday in the key demo.
Given the 40+ million viewers watching NBC and CBS in the 9 p.m. hour on Sunday, it will be interesting to see if AMC's "Walking Dead" return was impacted at all, or if the three networks were wooing three entirely separate audiences. I suspect the latter and we'll post on the zombie ratings when they become available. [PBS and HBO are less likely to provide the ratings for "Downton Abbey" and "True Detective," but there was definitely a lot of TV to watch in the 9 p.m. hour.]
For now on to ratings...
Among adults 18-49, NBC averaged a 6.9 rating for Sunday night, topping (but not quite doubling) the combined key demographic averages for CBS (1.7 rating), plus ABC and NBC (both at a 1.0 key demo).
Overall, NBC averaged 25.42 million viewers for Sunday primetime along with a 14.0 rating/21 share. CBS was a distant second with 11.64 million viewers and a 7.0/11, which was far ahead of ABC's 2.1/3 and 3.67 million viewers and FOX's 1.4/2 and 2.24 million.
7 p.m. - NBC's Olympics coverage started primetime in first with 22.53 million viewers and a 5.7 rating among adults 18-49 for the 7 p.m. hour. CBS was second with 9.47 million viewers and third with a 1.2 key demo rating for "60 Minutes," compared to the 5.35 million viewers and 1.3 key demo rating for ABC's "America's Funniest Home Videos" repeat. FOX's repeats of "Bob's Burgers" and "Family Guy" averaged 1.48 million viewers and a 0.6 key demo rating.
8 p.m. - Coverage from Sochi rose to 29.28 million viewers and a 7.9 rating among adults 18-49 in the 8 p.m. hour for NBC. CBS' "The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles" drew an impressive 13.35 million viewers and a less impressive 1.9 key demo rating for second on the hour. ABC's airing of "Toy Story 3" averaged 3.26 million viewers for third and a 1.0 key demo rating for fourth, compared to the 2.56 million viewers and 1.2 key demo rating averaged by repeats of "The Simpsons" and "Bob's Burgers" on FOX.
9 p.m. - Perhaps impacted by the influx of strong cable options (but perhaps not in any way impacted by that), the Olympics slipped to 26.18 million viewers and a 7.4 rating among adults 18-49 for NBC in the 9 p.m. hour. CBS' "The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles" actually rose to 14.13 million viewers and a 2.2 key demo rating. ABC's movie averaged 3.05 million viewers and a 1.0 key demo rating, again compared to the 2.69 million and 1.3 key demo rating for repeats of "Family Guy" and "American Dad" on FOX.
10 p.m. - NBC's Olympics broadcast averaged 23.7 million viewers and a 6.7 rating among adults 18-49 to close out its primetime sweep. CBS was second with the concluding half-hour of "The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles" (14.785 million and a 2.4 key demo) and a repeat of "The Millers" (4.435 million and a 0.8 key demo). ABC's "Castle" repeat averaged 3.03 million viewers and a 0.7 key demo rating.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.

REMEMBER WHEN Jennifer Lopez was cool? When her Versace dress at the Grammys rocked the fashion world? When she could hold her own on-screen with stars like George Clooney? When she had a street name?
"American Idol" remembers.
To the tune of $12 million, the Fox talent show has nabbed Lopez to fill a seat at the judges' table for the 10th season, sources told People.com.
Kara DioGuardi was forced out after one limp season, and the mighty Simon Cowell has moved on. Lopez, like the also-departed Ellen DeGeneres, signed on just for a year, so if things don't work out, there's a graceful exit clause.

Crime's Impact on the Survival Prospects of Young Urban Small Businesses

High prevailing levels of criminal activity have numerous impacts on the viability of urban small businesses and the various impacts are not uniformly negative. It is the negative impacts, however, that are most often noted. Either the perception or reality of rampant crime can scare away customers, potential employees, lending institutions, even casualty insurance underwriters. Yet, competitors may also be driven away. Operating in a high-crime area can be advantageous, on balance, for some firms. Our analysis of nearly 5,000 urban businesses started between 1986 and 1992 indicates that those most seriously impacted by crime exhibit no measureable disadvantage regarding firm size, capitalization, survival rates, or other traits, relative to firms whose owners report that crime has not impacted them negatively.

By Tech. Sgt. John AsselinMay 5, 2008
SOTO CANO AIR BASE, Honduras - Soldiers from Fort Polk, La., finished more than a week of training with Honduran soldiers with a combined airborne operation here April 30.
The 27 soldiers from the 1-509th Airborne Battalion jumped with 22 Honduran "paracaidistas" throughout the morning from a Joint Task Force-Bravo UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter, according to Maj. Michael Angell, one of the jumpmasters for the event from Joint Task Force-Bravo.
"It took about two hours to complete all 12 lifts," Angell said. The first few lifts dropped three soldiers per pass, but increased to six per pass on later lifts.
Most of the week-long training was held at Tamara and included marksmanship, cordon and search, convoy operations and medical, according to Maj. J.C. White, director of operations for the 509th.
"We were here for a key leader exchange to help prepare the Honduran troops for PANAMAX [a multi-national mission] in August," he said. The exchange was a U.S. Army South-sponsored event.
Working with Hondurans was a pleasure for the Fort Polk soldiers, White said.
"They are great hosts and soldiers," he said. "They were very receptive to everything we had to show them and soaked up everything. They already knew most the skills we brought to exchange, so we were able to get into details quickly."
The jump was the only airborne operation during the key leader exchange. An exchange of jump wings followed the event.

Dimond Estates Mobile Home Park is Alaska's largest and finest mobile home park.
We welcome any inquiries about our park.
Dimond Estates Mobile Home Park is located at 1200 West Dimond Blvd., Anchorage, AK 99515
Phone: (907) 344-6611 FAX: (907) 349-6641
Dimond Estates was established in 1971, is owned by a local Corporation, and is the largest developed mobile home park in Anchorage (possibly in the State of Alaska), spanning 76 acres of land. At maximum capacity, we can accommodate 522 mobile homes. Homeowners must be at least 21 years of age. Homes smaller than 14' wide and Igloos are no longer accepted in this family park. Our streets and parking pads are paved.
If you have a dog, this mobile home park is not for you. Dimond Estates does not permit dogs in the park, even if they are just visiting. All accepted pets must be inside pets, if they are found outside the home they may be caught and sent to Animal Control, or the wild animals may have them for dinner. Yes you read right, wild animals. Even thought our park is located in the southwest area of Anchorage; it is visited by Eagles, Coyote, Moose, Canadian Geese, Lynx, Ducks, an occasional Bear (generally only passing through to the creek on the other side of Dimond Boulevard to catch a fish for dinner), and various other Alaskan critters.
To assist our residents, we maintain lawn mowers and weed trimmers for their rental use to groom lawn areas at each home site. Compound space is available for residents to rent for the parking of their recreational vehicles on site. Dimond Estates has a fenced in playground with equipment for the younger children.
During the winter months, our personnel plow the park streets. This may take a lot of time, especially when it snows a few feet at a time. The biggest problem is where to put all the excess snow, some of it is piled at the office and the children make it into a sliding hill. We do not maintain parking pads and abide by the same rules as the municipality - residents maintain their driveway and not put their snow in the street and we will try not to leave a big snow berm in front of your clean parking pad. Of course when it all starts to melt, our streets may turn to rivers or sheets of ice. For a few weeks it seems as if they are frozen slushy ruts that just love to play - lets break your shocks. During this time of year we request residents be patient with our crew who attempt to keep it as smooth as possible but this is one of the hazards of living in snow country.
Every spring, in coordination with the Anchorage City Spring Clean Up Week in May, our personnel assist in cleaning up the Park. In previous years we also had held a clean up day for the youngsters to become involved with which included a barbecue for those who help remove trash from the areas and prizes given for trash/debris collected. Adult assistance was always welcome.
Registered to vote? You don't have to go far from home, voting is held in the Dimond Estates Office multi-purpose room.
Some of the Park Regulations are in place for crime prevention measures, such as the NO Soliciting (going door to door is not permitted). If solicitors, for any reason - books, vacuum cleaners, religion, etc., are found knocking on doors: they are requested to leave. If they return or do not leave, we request Anchorage Police Department remove or cite them. We have found that this has reduced the incidents of burglary. Dimond Estates also works with local and federal agencies in the prevention of crimes and apprehension of criminals. The speed limit within the Dimond Estates property is 20 M.P.H.; this is so the Anchorage Police Department can come into the park and write speeding tickets.
There are many children in our park and the curfew is that no youngster be out after 11 p.m. any night of the week. This includes summers when the sun seems never to fully set. Quiet time is after 10 p.m. but it is requested that residents not be disturbed at any time of the day or night. The Park playground had all new equipment installed the summer of 2003.
In a water taste test on Sept. 26, 2005 during the Alaska Rural Water Association's Water Professionals Training Conference held in Anchorage, judges rated each water sample based on taste, clarity, and bouquet. Dimond Estates tied for second place in the state of Alaska and is the best tasting water in Anchorage.
Dimond Estates Mobile Home Park has rules and regulations. If you or your friends do not like to abide by our requirements, this is not the park for you. We have been known to evict homes and their occupants for illegal activities and other infractions of our Rules & Regulations.
The Dimond Estates Office is open Monday through Friday; 8:00 a.m. to Noon & 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Alaska Time year round (we do not close for the winter). We are closed Noon - 1:00 p.m. for lunch, weekends and some holidays. Dimond Estates is not a trailer park; it is a mobile home park. Check us out.

Many students think about the possibility of doing a PhD. But how do you know if it's right for you? A PhD can certainly be a rewarding experience but it can also be tough and take several years, so it's really worth thinking it through before making the decision to start. Here Dr Madelaine Chapman, the PhD Careers Consultant here at LSE Careers, shares a few insights.
How does a PhD fit with your long term career plans?
It's a good idea to think about how a PhD could fit in with your longer term career ambitions. If you're not sure yet what sort of career you are interested in, it's worth exploring your options before starting on a PhD. You may find that a PhD isn't necessary for the kind of career that you are interested in after all. Alternatively, a clearer idea of your career goals will help you to work out what sort of research project would be most useful for you to do during the PhD. You'll find plenty of guidance on the LSE Careers website for choosing a career that would suit you and for finding out more about different employment sectors.
Where to study
If you do decide that a PhD is for you, then you'll need to carefully consider where to study. Think about which country, university and department would suit you best and research possible PhD supervisors. It's worth noting that PhDs work differently in different countries. For example in the US a PhD lasts 5 to 6 years, whereas in the UK 3-4 years is typical. If you're thinking of doing a PhD in the US, take a look at the US-UK Fulbright Commission which has great guidance for anyone looking at postgraduate study in the US.
What research topic to focus on
During a PhD you will be expected to produce original research that makes a contribution to the body of knowledge in your discipline, so you'll need to think about how your proposed topic fits in with what other researchers have done. It will also need to be something that will sustain your interest and enthusiasm over the course of several years. What you pick will influence what options you have after your PhD, so consider what expertise and skills you will develop over the course of the project. For example, will it give you strong quantitative skills? Will you be an expert on a particular issue or region by the end? How valuable are these to future employers?
Next steps
If you want to find out more, do talk to current PhD students. Books including 'The PhD Application' Handbook by Peter J Bentley and 'How to Get a PhD' by Phillips and Pugh are available in the LSE Careers Resource Centre, Saw Swee Hock, Floor 5. Check out the Postgraduate Study of the LSE Careers website. You can also book a 1:1 career discussion to discuss your career options, including doing a PhD.

Saints Row – The Third Soundtrack List
Just started playing Saints Row 3 aka Saints Row the Third and this game is simply pure ridiculous fun. Though the Saints Row soundtrack is not as ambitious in scope as the Grand Theft Auto series, the musical selection is still impressive and varied. Saints Row as a series has always done it's own thing and I appreciate that. Of particular note is the nice 80s and 90s selection which … Continue Reading ››

Hi Rob, my sense is that there is a general consensus that ocap languages should be made persistent. (This is of course a great opportunity for those who dissent from that consensus to speak up.) The previous discussions we've had on the list, and the remaining controversies, regard how to get there. Should persistence be orthogonal or not? Given either answer, how do you handle upgrade? < http://www.erights.org/data/serial/jhu-paper/upgrade.html> <http://waterken.sourceforge.net/upgrade/> Should it be built into the kernel/TCB (Smalltalk, Waterken, Newspeak? < http://bracha.org/Site/Newspeak.html>), or should it be written in the language with no undue privilege < http://wiki.erights.org/wiki/Safe_Serialization_Under_Mutual_Suspicion>?

They can interfere with it only to the extent of preventing serialization. Should serialization of a Joe-E graph succeed, it's guaranteed orthogonal. -- Text by me above is hereby placed in the public domain Cheers, --MarkM -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

To the Editor:
I sent an e-mail to the governor about a novel idea to reduce property taxes. Although I don't expect him to bring it up in Trenton, I think it's a better idea than asking teachers to accept a freeze for a year.
I asked him for all state workers to take a 10 percent cut in pay, starting from the governor on down. I stated that with people losing their jobs, and many of those who are still working in the private sector taking pay cuts, it would only be fair.
It seems that all these public-sector workers are interested in is giving themselves a raise when the taxpayers can't afford it.
Another thing, which I didn't bring up in my e-mail to the governor, is that we have to stop giving these workers free medical insurance for life. If they want it, let them pay for it — as in the private sector.
As a senior citizen, it's getting harder and harder to live in this state.
One reason the state asks for more taxes is because we have an exodus of residents, and therefore, less tax revenue coming in.

NORTH ROYALTON, Ohio -- Blue-ribbon gardens, sound science and back-to-school preparations are in the news this morning:
Congratulations to the North Royalton Community Garden. For the third year in a row it has won a blue ribbon in the Cuyahoga County Fair's Community Garden Display. Dejana Cinquepalmi, the garden's coordinator, said residents contributing to the garden work hard to grow vegetables for themselves, senior citizens and local food banks. Keep up the good work, folks.
Learn sound science from 11 a.m. to noon Sept. 13 at the North Royalton branch library, 5071 Wallings Road. A dude named Hal will talk about the science of sound while using common, everyday materials. He'll also show you how to make music out of just about anything. Call 440-237-3800.
Finally, another school year is approaching, and North Royalton City Schools are asking if your child is moving to a different school building than last year. If so, the district would like to update your profile. That way, you'll continue to receive messages about the building your child is in. Call 440-237-8800.

Though it's rats that eat up most of its screen time, writer-director Glen Morgan's "Willard" is strictly for the birds. Like the 1998 remake of "Psycho," this redo of Daniel Mann's 1971 hit, about the mother's boy with a burgeoning rodent fetish, is completely unnecessary, and won't scare up business in theaters or on video.
Though it's rats that eat up most of its screen time, writer-director Glen Morgan's "Willard" is strictly for the birds. Like the 1998 remake of "Psycho," this redo of Daniel Mann's 1971 hit, about the mother's boy with a burgeoning rodent fetish, is completely unnecessary, and won't scare up business in theaters or on video. Adapted from Stephen Gilbert's 1968 novel "Ratman's Notebooks," the original "Willard" is a perversely entertaining "Psycho" homage, in which an introverted shipping clerk finds solace among a community of rats living in the drained swimming pool behind his family's decaying home. The vermin become Willard's only escape from his uncaring boss and dying, domineering mother, and eventually come to obey him as he seeks revenge on those he believes have wronged him — until one rat, Ben, doesn't follow Willard's orders, and a deadly power struggle ensues.
A young Bruce Davison (who has an amusing cameo in the remake) played Willard back then, with Ernest Borgnine as his boss, Sondra Locke as the kindly secretary who pities poor Willard, and Elsa Lanchester as a mommy perhaps only Norman Bates could love. The movie worked because of its understated manner; it was a Gothic horror done in strokes of broad daylight.
Conversely, though many of the original's locations, costumes and hairstyles are faithfully rendered, the remake is overplayed in a Grand Guignol manner, dumbed down and sped up for the MTV generation. Right from the opening bars of Shirley Walker's half-Astor Piazzola, half-Bernard Hermann score, "Willard" is hopping up and down, like an attention-deficient child, desperate to scare you; as a result, it never does.
In the roles originated by Davison, Borgnine, Locke and Lanchester, respectively, Crispin Glover, R. Lee Ermey, Laura Elena Harring and Jackie Burroughs are brilliantly well-cast. Glover, with his gangly physique and agile, rat-like movements is a particular coup for Willard; he seems to have an innate understanding of how someone who's been kicked around by schoolyard bullies his entire life might move and speak. But in keeping with pic's bigger-is-better aesthetic, Morgan encourages the actors to play to the rafters, and it leads to a series of over-the-top moments.
Glover starts out well, but before long he shoots off the charts with a series of increasingly eccentric tics and mannerisms that leave no question about his character's sinister inclinations, eliminating the possibility we might ever find Willard tender or good-natured, or come to see things from his own twisted POV — all strengths of Davison's original "Willard." Meanwhile, Ermey's Mr. Martin is nothing more than a fiery blowhard.
The remake's set pieces don't measure up to those in the original. Arguably the most lively sequence in this film, in which Willard's rats deflate the tires of Mr. Martin's car, is nothing compared with the havoc the rats wreaked back in 1971. Even the rodents themselves seem out to lunch. The original "Willard" made auds uneasy for days afterward at the sight of any creature with more than two legs; but the elaborate animatronic and CG effects (along with about 500 live specimens) that account for the remake's rat army, aren't at all unsettling.
Tech package is acceptable, if unspectacular, with pic carrying a vaguely cheap, shot-in-Canada vibe. Among many visual and textual references to original pic and its sequel (1972's "Ben"), soundtrack contains two renditions of latter pic's Oscar-nominated title tune, one of them performed by Glover himself.

The Caribbean's largest dolphinarium also has the title of being the largest in the world built by man. Nearly 50 million liters of water to watch and interact with marine life in full Caribbean. It is the Ocean World Puerto Plata.
Actually, the water park is part of a huge complex that integrates all kinds of recreational activities, leisure and seamanship: Ocean World Marina. Animals zone, marine life, dolphins, casino, docking bay, restaurants, shops, disco…
The Ocean World Adventure Park has become one of the most visited attractions in Dominican Republic, opened in 2004 and only a few kilometers away from the spectacular area of Puerto Plata.
Besides the dozen impressive waterfalls that adorn the landscape and contemplation of marine life in a spectacular recreation of the Caribbean funds; swim with dolphins, feed the stingrays or snorkel with sharks are some of the exciting experiences that maritime environment specialists suggest to all the visitors.
But perhaps one of the most colorful activities we can do at the dolphinarium is the possibility to snorkel in a huge aquarium reef, where we can see the more representative fauna of the reefs in the area.
Once outside the water, a huge tropical forest opens in front of us to get us into the most diverse flora and fauna, from the colorful Caribbean birds to the funniest Rhinoceros iguanas, not to mention the area of tigers, fantastic and majestic wild cats that cause admiration in all the visitors.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Bridges Mentoring Program
Bridges Mentoring Program and North Iowa Community Action have partnered together with the assistance from United Way of North Central Iowa to give our kids a better chance at success.
Bridges Mentoring Program began in March 1999 and now has 70 mentors matched with children in the Osage, St. Ansgar and Riceville school districts. Children of all ages--kindergarten through high school-- are served by Bridges. Youth in the program must be school age and they must attend school in one of the three communities served.
Referrals for mentoring come from several places, mainly schools and guidance counselors but can come from parents and guardians as well. Once a referral is made and permission from guardians is gained, a representative of Bridges will meet with your child and he or she will do their best to match your child with a mentor. Your child and their mentor will meet at least once per week. Some activities that mentors do with their mentees include going to the library, going for a walk, going to the park, or just chatting and visiting!
Bridges is committed to children and their long term success; mentoring is a long term commitment.
For more information please contact Bridges Mentoring Program at 641-732-3566 or visit:

AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry's pen was lighter this year, compared with previous legislative sessions.
The Republican governor vetoed 37 bills this session. By contrast, he vetoed 49 bills after the 2007 session and a record 83 in 2001, his first year as governor.
Two days before the session ended June 1, Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock, had the dubious distinction of being the first legislator to have a bill vetoed by Perry.
The governor's office recently released a list of the bills nixed by Perry. One was House Bill 3485, a measure that would have allowed hospitals in counties with 50,000 or fewer residents to hire physicians.
The bill was filed by Rep. Garnet Coleman, D-Houston, but Perry vetoed it because of an amendment by Duncan. Two other House bills sponsored by Duncan in the Senate also were dead on arrival.
Also killed was Duncan's Senate Bill 2038, which aimed to clarify how a court interprets legal issues. It passed overwhelmingly in the Senate and in the House, but was vetoed before the session ended.
A day after the bill went down, the Lubbock lawmaker said there were no hard feelings.
"I had been working with the governor on that legislation, I knew (of) objections," Duncan said. "We respectfully disagreed, but it was not the kind of thing you want to pursue."
Perry said in the veto statement that he killed the bill because he felt its passage would open the floodgates to more lawsuits in Texas.
Rep. Warren Chisum, R-Pampa, said he disagreed with Perry's veto of House Bill 2820, which would have required greater oversight of government contracts for professional services relating to geoscience and landscape architecture.
"I'm not all that upset," Chisum said. "It is the governor's opinion and I disagree with it, but this is the process that we have and it has worked very well all these years."
Although Duncan and Chisum were not critical of the governor, but Sen. Kirk Watson blasted Perry in a statement.
"You work all year (or all biennium) on good legislation, building support and making revisions to reflect different viewpoints and answer various concerns, only to see the effort obliterated by one person's objections," said Watson, D-Austin.

What is the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree?
There are two different kinds of terminal nursing degrees: research-oriented degrees and practice-oriented degrees.
Research-oriented degrees include the Doctor of Nursing Science (DNSc, DNS or DSN) and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
The practice-oriented degree, also called the clinical doctorate, is the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP or DrNP).
The Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia is referred to as the DNAP.
The DNP degree is meant to prepare registered nurses to become advanced practice nurses. The curriculum includes leadership training, application of clinical research and advanced practice training.
The DNP degree will soon be required of all advanced practice nurses, including nurse practitioners (NP), certified nurse midwives (CNM), clinical nurse specialists (CNS) and nurse anesthetists (CRNA).
DNAP Will Soon Replace the MSNA
In 2015, the AANA is requiring that all CRNA programs begin changing their curriculum from a Master of Science in Nurse Anesthesia degree to a Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice. Programs will need to have made this change by 2025.
In the meantime, all nurse anesthetists who obtain a CRNA masters degree before 2025 will be "grandfathered" in and will not be required to go back to school to get a DNP.
So if you're not required to get an advanced practice nursing degree, should you? Find 4 compelling reasons to get your DNP today. You'll also learn the difference between the DNP and the DNAP, as well as components of the program (what you'll be learning).
List of CRNA Schools that offer an entry DNAP
Many schools have transitioned their programs from MSN/MSNA to DNP/DNAP. You will find two lists identifying both entry level and completion degrees. If you have your BSN and are interested in obtaining your Doctor of Nursing right away, please look under the Entry Level List. If you already have your CRNA and would like to continue your education, please refer to the Completion List.
This list will continue to grow until 2025 but these are the schools that already have a DNP/DNAP program or are currently waiting for COA approval.

Several area houses suffered the loss of their roofs when a storm tore through the area Wednesday.
George and Michelle Trapp's two-story house at 262 Eighth Ave. lost its roof and suffered rafter damage in the storm. Michelle said she and her husband had lived there for 10 years.
Michelle said her 16-year-old old was in the basement, but the dogs would not go down there.

The roof was blown off the house at 262 Eighth Ave. during the storm Wednesday.
The house at 306 E. Jefferson St., Republic, lost part of its roof in the storm.
A utility pole burns on Eighth Avenue Wednesday.
A cat named Fish Face walks on a fallen tree at 306 E. Jefferson St., Republic, Wednesday.
A dog named Boo takes a drink out of water that collected on debris at 306 E. Jefferson St., Republic, Wednesday.
"They were scared," she said.
She said her son heard a boom, the electricity went off and there was a flash. The neighbors called the police when the roof blew off, she said.
"Every neighbor has called me. (The police) took (my son) out of the basement," she said.
Michelle said the entire main roof was gone, and what wasn't blown off fell into the second floor.
"There's brick damage," she said.
Michelle, who was at work in Fremont during the storm, said the family was going to be at Walnut Grove Campground in their camper.
"Thank God," she said.
In Republic, the house at 306 E. Jefferson St. was surrounded by tree limbs and debris.
"We're all safe. Nobody was hurt," said Pat Perkins, a resident.
Perkins said the home, which is more than 100 years old, was brick and had been added onto. The storm took off the roof of the front porch and the roof over the kitchen. About a third of the rest of the roof also was ripped off, and water was pouring in the kitchen.
"My kids were home," she said.
The family planned to stay at Quality Inn for the night, and the Red Cross was on its way.
"From there, I don't know," she said.
Perkins said family members could get what they needed out of the house. She said she did not know whether she would try to repair it.
"I love my house," she said.
Daniel Brown, who rents the upstairs half of the house at 297 Greenfield St., Tiffin, didn't realize a tree had fallen onto the residence until he was arriving home.
He said he was hoping his roommates and downstairs neighbors were alive. Nobody was injured, he said.
"Everyone's fine," he said.
Brown said his roommates live in the upper room where the tree fell on the house and were in the room when it happened. They ran out pretty quickly, he said.
The tree took down a telephone wire. Branches were pushed up against the house.
"It's all just tree branches. I know (the tree is) partially rotted," he said.
Brown said the bottom porch pretty much was crushed and probably will have to be replaced. He said he was not aware of any interior damage to the upper floor but the house suffered broken windows.
"There's probably some roof damage. The (porch area's) ceiling's breaking in," he said.

A Berks County man said he hopes to keep working after he loses his job at the Kraft Foods plant in Lehigh County.
Kraft is discontinuing its private fleet and cutting 285 jobs nationwide. That includes about 30 jobs in Upper Macungie Township.
A man from Rockland Township said he spent 41 years with the company and logged five million miles of safe driving.
"I enjoyed working for them. Sorry to see it end this way. I was going to retire in maybe two more years, but, I just, the younger drivers worry me," said Richard Kutz, transport driver, Kraft Foods.
Kraft said most positions in Upper Macungie will be eliminated in June and employees will receive separation benefits.

It took several decades, but I've come to a life-changing conclusion.
God made me the way he wants me to be, and that's good enough. It all started at the drugstore, one of my all-time favorite places.
There's something about a drugstore that screams "luxury." There are aisles dedicated to makeup, perfume, beauty magazines, self-tanning products, chocolate, jewelry and unfortunately, hair color.
Why do I say unfortunately? Allow me to explain. Last week, I realized that my hair had more than a few gray strands in it. (Some women look stunning with gray hair; I'm not one of them.) Deciding it was time for a cover-up, I went to the drugstore with my husband, Bob, and daughter, Val, in tow.
Making a beeline for the brunette section, I was met with 100 different shades of brown. There was sable, mahogany, walnut, hazelnut, chestnut, espresso, redwood, rosewood, coffee bean, shimmering bark, maple sugar, bronze, sunlit sand, and the list went on.
At first I tried to match my natural color. I had always considered it to be medium brown. As it turns out, I'm somewhere in the "shimmering mahogany maple sand" area.
Then, my eyes wandered toward the blacks. The names were more exotic than the browns.
There was onyx, ebony sapphire, starry night, black velvet and midnight diamond.
Picking up a box, I asked Bob and Val what they thought.
"I'm not sure, Mom," Val, a former cosmetologist, said. "That'll be really dark on you. You might not like it."
I looked at my husband.
"Well, Kim," he said, "That's pretty, but I think your hair is beautiful the way it is." (Do I have him trained well, or what?)
After carefully considering their counsel, I decided to ignore it and grabbed a box of the "Midnight Diamond." A few hours later, post-coloring, I looked in the mirror and groaned. The super dark color just looked wrong on me.
Heading back to the drugstore, I purchased a box of light brown color, hoping it would lighten up the black. It didn't.
Drugstore trip No. 3: I bought a product designed to remove color molecules without using harmful chemicals. (It was a good choice because one more product would have fried my hair for sure.)
Fortunately this product worked, returning me to my original "shimmering mahogany maple sand."
I learned my lesson. God made me with a particular skin tone, eye color and hair color.
All of them are just right. Do you ever feel like you're not good enough? Just remember the Creator of the Universe created you.

Why Rajinikanth Rocks
t is not unknown for fans to fast before a Rajini release, as prayer to the Gods for success of his film. But, perhaps, in a part of the world that puts its film stars on very high pedestals, that's not unusual. Try this.
If you could possibly wangle a first-day-first-show ticket to a Rajini starrer, you will witness something you won't see in a movie theatre, ever.
Rajinikanth gets his very own credits styling. The screen will say 'Superstar', then his name will follow: 'Rajini' in English and then in Tamil, glowing in platinum. By the time your eyes adjust to the glare, you realise that you might also lose your hearing. Every member of the theatre audience is standing up, chanting 'Thalaivar! Thalaivar!' (which means 'boss' in Tamil). Then he will make his entrance: First you see the underside of his shoe; then dried leaves and debris will fly out of the way when the foot comes to earth. Then the camera moves above ground and pauses, looking up, as a supplicant would to the saviour. That's when the noise in the theatre reaches a crescendo and… the credits pause. And you see, at the foot of the screen, the regional distributor, the multiplex manager, and a few other dignitaries, resplendent in crisp white veshtis, are standing with a priest, who begins to chant prayers. Which end with the men in veshtis holding out their right hands and performing an aarti by burning camphor on their palms.
Then the crowd will settle down and the film will continue. Chances are, you'll see the signature moves: The finger pointing skyward, deft handiwork with the sunglasses (in older movies, you'd have seen the cigarette toss; he doesn't smoke on screen now, though). You'll see gravity-defying jumps and hordes of bad guys being done in. Through it all, nothing will dislodge the Superstar's smile and sunglasses.
Rajinikanth's story is straight out of the movies: Boy from the wrong side of the tracks makes it big. Born Shivaji Rao Gaekwad, he had a wild childhood and even wilder youth where his pranks got him into all kinds of trouble: He was thrashed by the cops for chasing girls and beaten by restaurant workers for trying to pass off an old six rupee bill for a table full of food that he and his gang had demolished. The tale of how he moved from bus conductor to stage to screen is too well know to retell. Suffice it to say that for all his hell-raising, there was a talent which his friends recognised and people noticed first on stage. His wild ways were temporarily tamed when playwright and director 'Topi' Muniappa offered him a chance to act in mythological moral plays. The story goes that he played the villainous Duryodhana so well, he was applauded by old men when he was ripping off Draupadi's sarees.
Hindi cinema, which was yet to become Bollywood, was, like much of Indian cinema, entangled in social themes. South Indian cinema, especially, was dealing with morality issues, which was fantastic for a performer like Rajinikanth, because he played the villain with much glee (shades of this are visible even in his blockbuster hit Chandramukhi, where his demented, 'Laka, laka, laka, laka' still sends shivers down one's spine). 16 Vayathinile (At the Age of 16) paved the way for unkempt villains who had a singularly disgusting laugh. Mithun Chakraborty ruled 80s Hindi cinema with the same brand of impossible heroics and made-for-the-front-row lines, and inspired similar devotion from his fans. But it took Rajinikanth to not just find the formula of punch-line-laden, impossible-action-packed movie persona, but to make it work for over three decades. And counting.
That he was talented was evident to the director K. Balachander, who offered him a 15-minute role as a drunkard in Apoorva Raagangal (Rare Melodies), a Kamal Haasan starrer. Rajini made an impact as the man who muddies the love story by announcing a prior claim to the affections of the heroine just before she admits her love to the hero.
Oops I wasted 5 mins posting comments after reading stupid artciles like this. People, reading this is seriously a waste of time.
LOL gravity defying stunts, then you should probably start writing about batman, superman lol..flying out of earth..LOL! seriously!
i would recommend you to watch
1) Thillu mullu
2) aril irunthu arubathu varai
3)guru sishyan
this is enough to tell you his acting skill
"When she realised who the mendicant really was, she apologised. Rajini, they say, kept the note as a reminder and as a reward for his acting skill." ..... thank for your genorisity in praising him but please keep it with yourself.
Btw, a correction in this article. "Idhu eppadi irukku" means "How is this" and not "How are you".
1. Deepika padukone
2. Anushkha shetty
3. Sushmita sen

So many south Indians, after having achieved so much, live without commotion. What is the problem, we admire humility and honesty more than fake skin.
Do we ridicule Bollywood movies and actors? Why cant we all live peacefully without imitating or irritating others? It's quite astonishing how so many north Indians (have REAL exp with them) think that South Indians feel inferior to them. Being quiet is not feeling inferior. It's called growing up.
Maybe somebody will quote this in another article ..
I would like to see Rajni "Spiliting a bullet in two" in next movie if he has not done it yet.
What I know is he is a great entertainer and this is what is required. PERIOD. Might be by Luck or Hard work. God Bless ALL.
Do you know by whom Bollywood's top directors want to handle the camera.. its rathnavelu.. or nirav shah.. And india's top editors also from south india.. all your Khan's and Kapoor's movies are edited by them and will be.
And music.. I dont have to say..
PS: I am a hardcore Rajini fan, none of his movies has this faster than electricity scene.. its totally misleading innocent audience...
Why can't some of you people accept that he is the biggest star in this part of the World (probably) the world? We are all well read and some of your lines such as "worked hard to ensure cheap tickets applause" wont go unnoticed. If you are genuine in your appreciation and understanding and write an article that is genuine to your credibility and journalistic capabilities - everybody will surely appreciate it wholeheartedly.
Else, through this article, I can sense an urge to write about Rajini but demeaning him subtly but still garner enough page hits and visits to your journal and post.
I have no animosity towards you but this is just my impression after your article. And, this comment shall be published un-edited, if you respect freedom of expression.
A journalistic article of such low quality is not expected of a magazine as reputed as Forbes. Such condescension flows from the words, as does ignorance.
Especially what conspired between Kamal and Rajni is portrayed in such a false light! All they decided was to not act together after a string of double hero movies in the late 70's. What's written here is pure Bull

Incense container in shape of a crane by the Bizen artist Uragami Zenji. Bizen pottery has a long tradition of saikumono (sculptured things), such as Chinese zodiac figures or Japanese deities. However, this type of production has reduced since Meiji era, and only a few Bizen potters continue to make them nowadays.
The condition of the kogo is perfect. It is signed on the reverse and comes in an inscribed wooden box, with a certificate.
Dimensions: about 7 cm (2.8 in) long, 4.3 cm (1.7 in) wide and 5 cm (2 in) high
Uragami Zenji (1914-2006) was born in Okayama Prefecture. He studied the art of Bizen pottery under Nishimura Shunko from 1930, and then wood carving and drawing. He participated in many exhibitions, such as the Bunten Exhibition in 1938 and the Salon in Paris in 1970 and 1973, where he received respectively the bronze and the gold prize. He was made holder of Okayama Prefectural Important Intangible Cultural Property in 1973.


text: Is Warner shooting itself in the foot by delaying rentals from 28 to 56 days? First of all, the net effect will be that Coinstar and Blockbuster will do workarounds that will provide SAME DAY rentals - which is the exact opposite of the 56 day waiting period. The small extra margin offered by Warner for the 56 day waiting period is offset by the extra volume that will come from same day revenues at Coinstar. The decline in DVD sales will be made worse by Warner holding the top movie rental companies hostage...forcing them to do same day rentals. This is a highly questionable strategy.

As someone who has utilized weight lifting for training in different points in my life I have to respectfully disagree. The bench press is not just for building your pecs. Bench pressing is actually a compound lift utilizing your arms, shoulders, back, and yes even your pectoral muscles. I will agree that there is WAYYY too much focus on how much a person can bench press, or any type of lift for that matter. This line of thinking does lead to imbalances, but when mixed in with other compound types of lifts, the bench press can be a very useful lift. I guess my only disagreement is in calling it useless. Although if I was to have only one weight lifting movement allowed I would choose the deadlift hands down.
...and if you truly believe that you cannot build functional strength utilizing weight lifting than you are doing it wrong.

For me, the motivators to wait for LogFS are mainly the facts that it
can work on traditional block devices, and not only on pure flash:
1. It works on normal block devices and it supports transparent compression
Today, a 64 GB SSD/flash-based media costs ~about the same as a 1 TB
hard disk. This makes flash very expensive to use; compression can
compensate that cost a bit (will depend on the usage, of course).
I believe there is no other Linux filesystem which can do transparent
compression on block devices.
2. It does wear-levelling also on normal block devices
Although it doesn't sound normal to do wear-levelling twice (most
flash-based block devices do wear-levelling on their own), I had a flash
corruption after just ~one month of using RAID bitmap on a IDE-flash
disk formatted with ext3. Apparently, device-level wear-levelling wasn't
spreading updates of RAID bitmap file well enough.

I too wouldn't use LogFS today in a production environment - it is still
not feature complete and not widely tested.
I wouldn't use btrfs or ext4 today for the very same reason.

Bacon Cheddar MuffinsKelly
Do you notice bacon-lovers all over the place? I'm talking about people who find a way to include bacon into just about any recipe, from ice cream to pizza. Bacon's currently beloved position of honor in the world of food is testament to the exaltation of the homey: Bacon is, after all, just slices of meat-striped fat cut from the belly of a swine just below its ribs. Somehow, though, when this part of the pig is cured with salt and then smoked and then sizzled in a skillet until it's cooked-through, it becomes an almost otherworldly pleasure: crunchy, salty, woodsy, earthy….as habit-forming as any drug out there. If you're part of the up-with-bacon movement, try tossing it into your favorite muffin batter just like this.
Bacon and Cheddar Muffins
2 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 egg, beaten
1 cup grated cheddar cheese, preferably sharp
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Preheat oven to 350. Grease 12 standard-size muffin cups.
Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in medium bowl. Set aside. Combine milk, butter, egg, in small bowl; mix together well. Add wet ingredients to dry; gently combine until blended. Gently stir in cheese and bacon. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into centers come out clean. Cool in pan for 2 minutes; remove to wire rack. Serve warm, with a little butter and honey.

Wright Stop - Port Mansfield, TX - Phone: (956) 944-2574
Oils can be used for different purposes in different areas. One of the uses of oils can be in the form of fuels. Gasoline, fuel oil and diesel fuel are all products of petroleum and are used as fuels. Gasoline is lighter than fuel oil and diesel, and evaporates quickly. Diesel is a natural choice for fuel in Port Mansfield as its cost is low and it is not as volatile as�gasoline. Fuel oil in Port Mansfield is used mainly as fuel for residential use. It finds its use in some industrial applications also.

While fellow ad:tech attendees were traveling around the Exhibit Hall partaking in an informal networkirng "Pub Crawl" a group of dedicated attendees packed Room 3020 to learn what buyers want. The lively session was moderated by Kendall Allen, an advertising guru with extensive agency-side experience. Allen is a client and business developer, deal maker and trainer…she wears many hats!
Panelists include Adam Kleinberg, Skip Brand, Tamara Bousquet, and Lucy Jacobs. Kleinberg is the founder and CEO of Traction with extensive Creative Agency experience, bringing scope, scrutiny and perspective to the buying process. Brand is the CEO of Martini Media and has been in the deal buying and selling business for nearly two decades. Bousquet is the Executive Vice President and Media Director of MEA Digital and is an agency-side "pitch artist." Last, but certainly not least, Lucy Jacobs is the Chief Operating Officer of Spruce and is a performance media expert.
The panelists urge marketers to have a sales philosophy and strategy, whether good or bad. A good sales philosophy leverages opportunities, utilizes resources, has a decision maker, provides solutions and fosters relationships.
Every marketer needs to know the basics of good buyer/seller relationships. Do your homework before contacting a potential customer. Ask them about their most active clients to gauge their current focus. And view their LinkedIn profile to better understand their background and target your meeting accordingly. Make yourself – and your company – relevant to the client. Most importantly, respect their time, limiting your meeting to 15-20 minutes.
Panelists admit that is the bare minimum. In order to succeed in today's economy, you need to go above and beyond. Provide your client with added value by sending them interesting, industry-related articles and case studies. Limit the amount of collateral you send and ensure the content is focused on your client's current scope. Keeping in touch naturally leads to a mutually beneficial relationship, don't be a "leech," rather help your client whenever possible.
If you can handle the heat, empower yourself to become a superstar. Educate yourself on the client before meeting them, make the conversation personable and hold yourself accountable for your actions. Don't waste the other person's time – create a one-sheet to keep yourself on schedule. And lastly, don't be pushy or outright salesy.
Planning ahead is the easiest, most foolproof way to ensure you will have a successful deal. Set up meetings two weeks in advance and reach out before to find out if there is a focus. Confirm the meeting 48 hours in advance and if bringing lunch, ask if any employees have food allergies.
