Those scrappy Misfits
What do you call modern audio recordings that are clearly inspired by old time radio but are too new to be lumped in with that genre?
The term du jour appears to be modern audio theater. Kevin Donnelly from National Audio Theatre Festivals passed that term on to First Arkansas News and it seems to fit.
It seems there are a lot of groups out there producing modern audio theater and one of the more intriguing of the lot is Misfits Audio. Why? That company is staffed by a group of people dedicated to producing quality modern audio theater programs who aren't too hung up on making a substantial profit from their hard work.
In fact, a large part of the revenue for the enterprise is derived from sales of Captain John Tadrzak's book, Santa Claus and the North Star. Tadrzak started Misfits Audio with a few friends about three years ago with the idea of covering several genres and providing unique, original programming — and some updates of classic old time radio shows — to listeners for a price that's hard to resist.
"Everything we do, we do for free," Tadrzak said.
While some might expect some budget programming, that's not how they do things at Misfits Audio. Tadrzak said about six or seven "full-timers" staff Misfits Audio and and the operation relies on about 80 people around the world to provide scripts, sound effects, voices and everything else necessary to produce modern audio theater programs.
Tadrzak said the Ohio-based company relies on those professionals who are dedicated to their craft and volunteer to keep Misfits Audio functioning.
"If it wasn't for these people, I would not exist. Each one of them is a part of Misfits, as far as I'm concerned," he said. "They've got their lives, jobs and families — and they've got me pressuring them to get their lines in."
And Tadrzak and company do stay busy — Misfits Audio posts a new program on its site every Monday. Tadrzak said it's always something new — original science fiction, detective, science fiction programs as well as remakes of OTR programs such as The Bickersons and The Lone Ranger are features on the site. Tadrzak said Misfits Audio strives to provide something for all fans of modern audio theater, adding that most shows are around 20 minutes long and take about three months to script, record and produce.
He added that the Misfits Audio team also remasters some original OTR programs to boost fidelity — something very important to attracting new fans to the genre. Tadrzak said newer listeners might be tempted to skip over an OTR program regardless of how great the script is if the audio is sub par, adding that recordings of radio programs from the 1920s through the 1950s are often in poor quality. Remastering those old programs — or taking the scripts and recording them with new actors — often provides the quality that people who are accustomed to the high fidelity typical of audio MP3s.
Tadrzak said Misfits Audio programs are distributed almost exclusively in the MP3 format through the site. There are no advertisements on the site as promotional efforts are reserved for pushing the site's content.
"We're hard to find," he said. "We're advertising by word-of-mouth. We rely on people to write about us, to tell other people about us, to stumble upon us — whatever it takes to let people know we're here.
"We're just trying to get a following. We're in the infancy stage."
In spite of the lack of pay, Tadrzak said the people who work with Misfits Audio still get something of value out of their work for the site.
"Some people use it as a stepping stone to go professional," he said. "They use us in their portfolios."
Meanwhile, he said people who stop by Misfits Audio are in for a treat. People can legitimately download MP3 files of the sites programs and can find stories to entertain everyone from children to adults — just the thing to make those drive time commutes or long car trips pass a little faster.
Ultimately, Tadrzak said the crew at Misfits Audio strives to help preserve a genre that started in the 1920s when radios first became widespread and Americans turned to them for entertainment.
"Is old time radio dead? No," he said. "You've just got to look forward."

Tributes for quarry death teen
Tributes have been left at the site where a teenager has died after swimming at a quarry lake in the Malvern Hills.
Tributes have been left at the site where a teenager has died after swimming at a quarry lake in the Malvern Hills.
West Mercia Police have warned of the dangers of open water after the death of a teenager at a quarry lake in the Malvern Hills earlier today.
Emergency services worked for hours to find the boy's body from Gullet Quarry near Malvern in Worcestershire.
"This appears to have been a tragic accident and our thoughts are with the boy's family and friends at this sad time.
"While it is too early to give a cause of death, we would like to take this opportunity to remind people about the dangers of open water.
"With the warm weather upon us and the school holidays approaching, we would advise people to think twice about going into local rivers, lakes and canals in order to cool off.
"We are privileged to live and work in a beautiful part of the country with a huge area of water. However, this comes with its dangers and we would appeal for people to recognise the risks associated with water and act responsibly."
Residents across the region are getting ready for Christmas and as ever our viewers have been out and about snapping the preparations
Sunday should start off dry and bright with sunny periods.
A touch of ground frost possible in sheltered parts by morning.

Recent reviews
Good 3.6 /5 from 101 reviews
Everything was wonderful. Except the hotel found out that there were no cabs to the airport and neglected to relay this information to the customers. It cost me €500 to get home after my missed flight. This is a one off I am sure, so I will happily stay again next year
The place needs a paint job a sit is very dull. Also it could cater for handicap as my wife and I are elderly and had to struggle with two very heavy suitcases whilst the night porter stood behind his counter. Food was good, room clean but drab. We would stay again
Came here on a family holiday . Zandvoort lovely place . Poor attitude from "senior" receptionist at hotel . She decided to verbally abuse a trainee staff member in front of everyone . We were wrongly given a smoking room originally .
Great place to stay Good was excellent Staff very pleasant Only little thing were the towels were really small
A really well presented hotel in a great location. Staff very friendly and all multi-lingual! The room was a great size (though I felt the bathroom a little small in proportion). Close to the beach. On a bus route and only 10 minutes walk from the train station so really well placed for links to Haarlem, Amsterdam and beyond. Would stay again.

A vital part of the work of the Department of Latin American History is the research carried out by our PhD students, postgraduate students and postdocs. The young researcher's projects are closely tied to our current research priorities for Latin American history. In the beginning of 2016 four young researchers work on postdoc-projects or on their habiliation. One of them is from Argentina and another one is from Colombia. Moreover, 30 doctoral students were admitted to our program. 21 are from a total of eight Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, Uruguay). They are able to finance their studies through either research assistantships, postdoctoral fellowships from institutions within Germany and abroad or their own professional activities outside of the university.
The program for young reseachers is diverse. The research colloquium on the history of Latin America is a core component. In addition, regular conferences are organised for up-and-coming academics by German Latin-American historians. The history of Latin America is also an integral part of the doctoral program for Latin American Studies at the Dahlem Research School. Our network with numerous partners in Berlin (Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut, Ethnologisches Museum, Deutsches Historisches Museum) and a lot of partners in Latin America offers optimal prerequisites für research activities.

Ok so there has been a lot of editing changing Lavender's life status to dead (which i have been reverting,but im stopping). There is absouletly no proof. In the movie they showed Greyback close to her neck. Greyback got blasted out of a window, and I may be wrong, but I never saw him after that. Now movies tend to cut out a bunch of parts. In this situation Lavender was just on the ground and Greyback was going to bite her. Where in the book Lavender and Greyback fell from the balcony and Greyback was GOING to bite her before Hermione shot him with a spell then Trelawney hit him with a crystal ball. In the book Greyback never touched her after they fell in the movie he was just close to her neck. Now heres another thought Greyback likes to turn children into werewolves especially YOUNG GIRLS! Now there was no full moon on that date he could have left her with lycanthropic traits like Bill or JKR would have a full moon on the date simply because she could do that in her book. Now to the game, in the game Fenrir was holding her then pushed her and seem like she was trying to get up. Then you play as Hermione in and fight Greyback now in the game if you take your time fighting him in the backround you can see a person duelling a snatcher or death eater. How I found out is they casted the protego charm which was very easy to see since everything was black and grey. Now I thought this could be Lavender since Harry and Ron left. Another thing is I am sure Jo would have mentioned her dieing through Ron or when Harry listes the fallen. Even Colin was announced dead and Lavender had a much bigger role than him. You guys can leave your opinions below and don't just say she is dead because you dont like her i like her she was just a kid in love and was very excited about it. Hermione didnt hate her she directed her anger towards Ron and when they broke up she spared her feelings. So yea comment let know if I changed your mind and let me know what you think.

Well - admittedly it's been a long time since I've updated any pictures here - but I finally broke down and bought the latest version of Poser and I'm way more impressed with it's rendering capabilities. This is my first actual render with Poser 5 - no post work has been done - suppose I'll do that later ;-).

UNITED STATES OF AMERICAv.ANTHONY GAGLIARDI
Before the Court is Defendant Anthony Gagliardi's Motion to Vacate, Set Aside or Correct Sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. For the following reasons, we deny the Motion.
On May 27, 2005, Defendant was found guilty of conspiracy to distribute cocaine, (Count One) and attempted possession with intent to distribute between 500 grams and two kilograms of cocaine on October 29, 2002 (Count Three). The jury returned not guilty verdicts on additional counts of possession with the intent to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine on October 8 or 9, 2002 (Count Two) and attempted possession with intent to distribute between 500 grams and two kilograms of cocaine on December 8, 2002 (Count IV). Although he originally retained counsel, Defendant filed a pre-trial motion seeking to represent himself. Following the required colloquy, we permitted Defendant to represent himself, with his prior attorney, Donald Manno, serving as standby counsel.
On July 5, 2005, we denied Defendant's post-trial motion.*fn1 He was sentenced on August 17, 2006, to 180 months imprisonment, to be followed by eight years of supervised release. By memorandum dated July 3, 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit thoroughly analyzed each argument made by Defendant and affirmed the convictions. United States v. Gagliardi, 285 Fed. Appx. 11 (3d Cir. 2008).*fn2 The United States Supreme Court denied Defendant's petition for certiorari on March 29, 2009. Defendant's § 2255 motion was timely filed on February 2, 2010.
In the current motion, Defendant raises the following issues:
1. The juror misconduct issue raised on direct appeal arising from an allegedly improper discussion during deliberation between a deliberating juror and an alternate juror.
2. Ineffective assistance of counsel arising from Attorney Manno's failure to raise the prejudice resulting from the juror misconduct.
3. The two Brady violations raised on direct appeal.
4. The Rule 404(b) violations raised on direct appeal arising from the references to marijuana and loan sharking activities.
5. The bill of particulars issue raised on direct appeal.
6. The prosecutorial misconduct issues raised on direct appeal.
7. Improper jury instruction on the definition of reasonable doubt.
8. Structural error arising from egregious activity on the part of the Government causing Defendant to change his mind and not call Antonio Nieves as a witness.
Gagliardi has moved for relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, which provides as follows:
A prisoner in custody under sentence of a court established by Act of Congress claiming the right to be released upon the ground that the sentence was imposed in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States, or that the court was without jurisdiction to impose such sentence, or that the sentence was in excess of the maximum authorized by law, or is otherwise subject to collateral attack, may move the court which imposed the sentence to vacate, set aside or correct the sentence.
28 U.S.C. § 2255(a). In order to prevail on a Section 2255 motion, the movant's claimed errors of law must be constitutional, jurisdictional, "a fundamental defect which inherently results in a complete miscarriage of justice," or "an omission inconsistent with the rudimentary demands of fair procedure." Hill v. United States, 368 U.S. 424, 428 (1962).
A. Claims Raised on Direct Appeal
Several of the claims included by Defendant in his § 2255 motion were the subject of his direct appeal. Specifically, the following claims duplicate arguments that were raised and rejected on direct appeal:
1. The juror misconduct issue arising from an allegedly improper discussion during deliberation between a deliberating juror and an alternate juror (Ground 1).
2. The two Brady violations (Ground 3).
3. The Rule 404(b) violations arising from the references to marijuana and loan sharking activities (Ground 4).
4. The bill of particulars issue raised on direct appeal (Ground 5).
5. The prosecutorial misconduct issues involving the grand jury testimony about "South Philly mob guys," extortion, loan sharking, and other illegal activities (Ground 6).
None of these claims may be reasserted in a motion pursuant to § 2255.
Absent an intervening change in the governing substantive law or other exceptional circumstances, Section 2255 generally "may not be employed to relitigate questions which were raised and considered on direct appeal." United States v. DeRewal, 10 F.3d 100, 105 n.4 (3d Cir. 1993) (citations omitted); see also Davis v. United States, 417 U.S. 333, 342 (1974) (intervening change in governing substantive law that makes petitioner's conviction and punishment unlawful constitutes exceptional circumstances that justify collateral relief under § 2255 after unsuccessful litigation of the issue on direct appeal). If a defendant attempts to raise such errors in a section 2255 motion, the motion will be "procedurally barred." United States v. Jenkins, 333 F.3d 151, 155 (3d Cir. 2003). Because Defendant makes no assertion that an intervening change in the law, or some other exceptional circumstance has occurred since he litigated these issues on direct appeal, we must summarily reject these claims because he is procedurally barred from re-asserting them.
B. Claims that Defendant Could Have Raised on Drirect Appeal
Two of Defendant's other claims are procedurally defaulted because he could have raised them on direct appeal, but neglected to do so. Specifically, Gagliardi's claims that our supplemental instruction on the definition of reasonable doubt was erroneous (Ground 7), and that the Government committed structural error by causing Defendant to change his mind and not call Antonio Nieves as a witness (Ground 8), are based on issues that arose during the trial and could have been raised on direct appeal.
A defendant cannot raise in a § 2255 motion a constitutional issue that he could have raised on direct appeal, but did not, unless he shows good cause for, and actual prejudice from, his failure to raise the claim on appeal, or demonstrates that he is "actually innocent" of a crime charged. Massaro v. United States, 538 U.S. 500, 504 (2003); Jenkins, 333 F.3d at 155; see also Hodge v. United States, 554 F.3d 372, 379 (3d Cir. 2009) ("Put differently, a movant has procedurally defaulted all claims that he neglected to raise on direct appeal.") "The procedural-default rule is neither a statutory nor a constitutional requirement, but it is a doctrine adhered to by the courts to conserve judicial resources and to respect the law's important interest in the finality of judgments."
Massaro, 538 U.S. at 504. Cause necessary to excuse a procedural default must be an occurrence beyond a defendant's control that cannot be fairly attributed to him. See McCleskey v. Zant, 499 U.S. 467, 493 (1991) ("In procedural default cases, the cause standard requires petitioner to show . . . 'some objective factor external to the defense. . . .'"). Prejudice necessary to excuse a procedural default means that the alleged error worked to a defendant's "actual and substantial disadvantage." United States v. Frady, 456 U.S. 152, 170 (1982) (emphasis omitted).
Defendant makes no showing of cause and prejudice or a claim of actual innocence.*fn3
Therefore, we reject the two claims that could have been raised on direct appeal.
C. Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
The sole claim raised in the § 2255 motion that can be addressed on its merits is Defendant's claim that Attorney Manno -- acting as standby counsel -- rendered constitutionally ineffective assistance when he failed to raise the issue of jury misconduct. We reject this claim as well.
A claim for ineffective assistance of counsel is based on the Sixth Amendment right to counsel, which exists "'in order to protect the fundamental right to a fair trial.'" Lockhart v. Fretwell, 506 U.S. 364, 368 (1993) (quoting Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 684 (1984)). A claim for ineffective assistance of counsel must meet the two-part test advanced by the Strickland court. First, petitioner must show that counsel made errors so serious that counsel was not functioning as the 'counsel' guaranteed the defendant by the Sixth Amendment. Second, [petitioner] must show that the deficient performance prejudiced the defense. This requires showing that counsel's errors were so serious as to deprive the defendant of a fair trial, a trial whose result is reliable."
Strickland, 466 U.S. at 687. More precisely, a petitioner must show that (1) his attorney's performance was unreasonable under prevailing professional norms, and, unless prejudice is presumed, (2) there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's unprofessional errors, the result would have been different. United States v. Day, 969 F.2d 39, 42 (3d Cir. 1992).
Defendant cannot meet Strickland's prejudice prong. Defendant raised the substantive issue of the alleged juror misconduct in his direct appeal, and the Third Circuit rejected that claim as meritless. Gagliardi, 285 F. Appx at 20. This finding is dispositive on the ineffective assistance claim. Because any objection to the manner in which the Court dealt with the alleged juror misconduct would have been rejected as meritless, counsel cannot be deemed to have acted ineffectively in failing to raise one. See United States v. Sanders, 165 F.3d 248, 253 (3d Cir. 1999) (stating that there can be no Sixth Amendment deprivation of effective counsel based on an attorney's failure to raise a meritless argument) (citations omitted).
Moreover, Gagliardi was representing himself at the trial and Attorney Manno was appointed as standby counsel.*fn4 Several Courts of Appeal have held that there is no constitutional right to hybrid representation and because there is no constitutional right to standby counsel, a defendant generally cannot prove standby counsel was ineffective. See United States v. Tilley, 326 F. App'x 96, 96-97 (3d Cir. 2009) (noting no constitutional right to standby counsel); United States v. Schmidt, 105 F.3d 82, 90 (2d Cir. 1997) ("Absent a constitutional right to standby counsel, a defendant generally cannot prove standby counsel was ineffective.") (citing United States v. Cochrane, 985 F.2d 1027, 1029 & n.1 (9th Cir. 1993) (per curiam) (rejecting ineffective assistance of standby counsel argument in this context without foreclosing argument in future); and United States v. Windsor, 981 F.2d 943, 947 (7th Cir. 1992) (holding that there is no constitutional right to effective assistance of standby counsel)). Accordingly, we reject Defendant's claim of constitutionally ineffective assistance of counsel.
For the foregoing reasons, we conclude that Defendant is not entitled to the relief he seeks. We therefore deny Defendant's § 2255 Motion in its entirety. An appropriate Order follows.
John R. Padova, J.

In-vitro antimicrobial activity and synergistic/antagonistic effect of interactions between antibiotics and some spice essential oils
Toroglu S.,Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University
Journal of Environmental Biology | Year: 2011
Spices and herbs have been used for many years by different cultures. The aim of the present study is (1) to investigate in- vitro antimicrobial effects of different spices and herbs (5 species: Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary), Coriandrum sativum (coriander), Micromeria fruticosa (L.) Druce subsp. Brachycalyx P.H. Davis (White micromeria), Cumium cyminum (cumin), Mentha piperita (Peppermint) against different bacteria and fungi species, and (2) to discuss the in-vitro possible effects between the plants and antibiotics. The microorganisms used were Micrococcus luteus LA 2971, Bacillus megaterium NRS, Bacillus brevis FMC 3, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 15753, Pseudomonas pyocyaneusDC 127, Mycobacterium smegmatis CCM 2067, Escherichia coli DM, Aeromonas hydrophila ATCC 7966, Yersinia enterocolitica AU 19, Staphylococcus aureus Cowan 1, Streptococcus faecalis DC 74 bacteria, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae WET 136, Kluvyeromyces fragilis DC 98 fungi in this study. The results indicated that essential oils of Rosmarinus officinalis, Coriandrum sativum L., Micromeria fruticosa (L.) Druce subsp. brachycalyx P.H. Davis, Cumium cyminum L., Mentha piperita L. were shown antimicrobial activity in the range of 7-60 mm 2 μl -1 inhibition zone to the microorganisms tested, using disc diffusion method. Standard antibiotic such as Gentamicin (10 μg), Cephalothin (30 μg), Ceftriaxone (10 μg), Nystatin (10 U) discs were used for comparison with the antimicrobial activities of essential oils of these plants. In addition, antibacterial activity of essential oils of these plants was researched by effects when it was used together with these standard antibiotics in vitro. However, antibacterial activity changed also by in vitro interactions between these standard antibiotics and essential oils of these plants. Synergic, additive or antagonist effects were observed in antibacterial activity. © 2011 Triveni Enterprises. Source
Investigation of the effects of wetting-drying and freezing-thawing cycles on some physical and mechanical properties of selected ignimbrites
Ozbek A.,Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University
Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment | Year: 2014
This study was performed to investigate the changes in the physical and mechanical parameters of ignimbrites of different colors (black, red, yellow, gray) from Central Anatolia under the influence of wetting-drying and freezing-thawing cycles. For this purpose, 96 NX-size core samples were prepared. The unit weight, specific gravity, apparent porosity, water absorption by weight, slake durability index, uniaxial compressive strength, and P-wave velocity of each ignimbrite sample before conversion were determined. All of these parameters were then redetermined every 10 cycles (for a total of 50 cycles) for each sample. The changes in the values of the parameters after these set numbers of cycles were evaluated statistically. The petrographic and chemical compositions of the volcanic rocks influence their physical and mechanical properties, so some changes were also observed in the ignimbrite samples after these physical processes. Freezing and thawing cycles were observed to have an obvious impact on the physical and mechanical properties of the samples. The greatest changes were observed in black ignimbrite (with ferromagnesian minerals). © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Source
Removal of chromium ions from wastewater by duckweed, Lemna minor L. by using a pilot system with continuous flow
Uysal Y.,Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University
Journal of Hazardous Materials | Year: 2013
The aim of this study was to determine the ability of Lemna minor to remove Cr (VI) ions from wastewater in a continuous flow pond system. This system was used to simulate a wastewater treatment pond and a natural wetland as habitat of plants. In order to find optimal conditions for chromium removal, ponds were operated with aqueous solutions having different pH (4.0-7.0) and chromium concentration of 0.25mgCr+6/L, then plants were exposed to different chromium concentrations (0.25-5.0mgCr+6/L) at pH 4.0. Chromium concentrations, both in biomass and wastewater, were measured and removal efficiency was determined throughout water flow. Growth factors such as growth rates, chlorophyll contents and dry/fresh weight ratios of plants were also determined to measure toxic effects of chromium. The percentages of chromium uptake (PMU) and bioconcentration factors (BCF) were calculated for each run. The highest accumulated chromium concentration (4.423mgCr/g) was found in plants grown in the first chamber of pond operated at pH 4.0 and 5.0mgCr/L, while the minimum accumulated chromium concentration (0.122mgCr/g) was in plants grown in the last chamber of pond operated at pH 4.0 and 0.25mgCr+6/L. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Increased enthesopathy in patients with familial Mediterranean fever: evaluation with a new sonographic enthesitis index.
Ozkan F.,Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University
Journal of ultrasound in medicine : official journal of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine | Year: 2013
The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of enthesopathy in familial Mediterranean fever by using a newly developed sonographic method, the Madrid Sonographic Enthesitis Index (MASEI). The study included 50 consecutive patients with familial Mediterranean fever and 57 healthy sex- and age-matched control participants. Six entheseal sites (olecranon tuberosity, superior and inferior poles of the patella, tibial tuberosity, and superior and inferior poles of the calcaneus) on both lower limbs were evaluated. All sonographic findings were identified according to MASEI. Validity was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curves. P < .05 was considered significant. Mean total enthesitis scores ± SD were 7.54 ± 4.99 for patients and 3.63 ± 3.03 for controls (P < .001). No statistically significant correlation was found between the MASEI score and familial Mediterranean fever duration or colchicine treatment duration. There was no difference between the MASEI score and the presence or absence of arthritic involvement among the patients. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.74 (95% confidence interval, 0.649-0.839). When analyzed by sex, men with familial Mediterranean fever had significantly higher MASEI scores than women (P < .05). This study showed significant enthesopathy in patients with familial Mediterranean fever. The findings support the hypothesis that familial Mediterranean fever and spondyloarthropathy may have common inflammatory mechanisms and suggest that the MASEI scoring system can be incorporated into clinical protocols for studying patients with familial Mediterranean fever in daily practice.

Annual Review of Plant Biology | Year: 2012
C4 photosynthesis is one of the most convergent evolutionary phenomena in the biological world, with at least 66 independent origins. Evidence from these lineages consistently indicates that the C4 pathway is the end result of a series of evolutionary modifications to recover photorespired CO2 in environments where RuBisCO oxygenation is high. Phylogenetically ormed research indicates that the repositioning of mitochondria in the bundle sheath is one of the earliest steps in C4 evolution, as it may establish a single-celled mechanism to scavenge photorespired CO 2 produced in the bundle sheath cells. Elaboration of this mechanism leads to the two-celled photorespiratory concentration mechanism known as C2 photosynthesis (commonly observed in C3-C4 intermediate species) and then to C4 photosynthesis following the upregulation of a C 4 metabolic cycle. © 2012 by Annual Reviews.

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Research Paper:
In other words, physicians authorize the nurse practitioner to prescribe certain medications -- perhaps not all but those medications that are most often required by patients -- without getting approval from a physician. It saves time and is primarily designed to make the patient more comfortable, not just to hand additional authority to the nurse practitioner.
Is prescriptive authority appropriate? This question, according to Patricia Berry, a faculty member at the University of Utah, is raised often because there is in the healthcare industry a "…misapprehension about pain and addiction" (Lebo, p. 1). There are "myths about pain and pain management," Berry is quoted saying. Healthcare professionals get "…addiction, physical dependence and tolerance all mixed up," Berry continues. There are "erroneous beliefs about opioids and addiction, side effects, respiratory depression, those kinds of things," Berry explains (Lebo, p. 1).
In twenty-nine states physician collaboration is a "requirement," Lebo explains on page 2, and there are various regulations and restrictions that accompany physician collaboration. Indeed, in some states APRNs are subject to specific and even daunting restrictions on what medications they may prescribe. In West Virginia, for example, APRNs may not order Coumadin or "…more than 3 days of a benzodiazepine," Lebo continues (p. 2). And so if a patient has suffered from a general anxiety disorder, and has been responding well to Xanax for several years, what is the nurse practitioner supposed to do, "…have them come in every 3 days? Or ship that patient out to another provider?" (Lebo, p. 2).
That's not all of the tight and seemingly restrictive regulations in West Virginia. Other drugs that West Virginia APRNs cannot legally prescribe include: "schedule II controlled substances, anticoagulants, antineoplastics, radiopharmaceuticals or general anesthetics" (Lebo, p. 2). Schedule III drugs that nurse practitioners may prescribe in West Virginia are limited to a "…72-hour supply without refill," and they may not prescribe any drugs from Schedules IV and V for more than 30 days and nurse practitioners in West Virginia may not give patients "more than five refills" of Schedules IV and V medications (Lebo, p. 2).
On the other hand, the prescriptive authority of APRNs in some states and in some hospitals is "fairly loose," Lebo continues; the collaborating physician and the APRN get together and agree that the APRN may prescribe certain drugs without the doctor's immediate attention and ultimate authorization (p. 2). Nurse Practitioner Nancy Browne moved from Maine to Illinois in 2011, and she had to make an adjustment from Maine's regulations -- which allow independent prescriptive authority -- to a situation in which a collaborative agreement is reached between the nurse practitioner and the physician. This transition was not at all difficult for Browne because she had previously enjoyed a collaborative physician-APRN relationship.
Brown did say in the Lebo article that the doctors she had worked with in collaborative arrangements were cooperative and understood that "…I would only prescribe what I am comfortable with, what I feel is appropriate, and medications that go along with the broad plan of care discussed with the physician" (Lebo, p. 2). In California nurse practitioners must develop a "standard procedure with their collaborating physician, and are only allowed to prescribe" what has been agreed upon between doctor and APRN, which is reasonable and professional. Naomi Gelardi, a nurse practitioner in Redwood Valley, California, said there is "…considerable autonomy" in California, and she does not "feel constricted" albeit she believes the collaboration procedure between physician and APRN is "…confusing for many NPs (Lebo, p. 3).
The following states (and the District of Columbia) have "the most independent prescribing procedure: no requirement for physician involvement (including controlled substances schedules II through V)": Alaska, Arizona, District of Columbia, Idaho, Iowa, Maine (after two years of supervised practice), Montana, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Washington, Wisconsin (if the NP is certified as an "advanced practice nurse prescriber"), and Wyoming (Lebo, p. 5).
Evaluate participation in managed care and quality initiatives
The difference between the roles of the clinical nurse and the nurse practitioner -- though both are important components of managed care -- is significant and it is appropriate to point out those divergent roles in the healthcare field. Clinical nurses tend to zero in on "content and the application of specific knowledge" so they can make improvements on patient care, Martin Christensen writes in the Journal of Clinical Nursing (Christiansen, 2011). As to nurse practitioners, they are far more interested in "…process and how they practice in providing direct patient care to specific patient groups"; they also step into the shoes of physicians and provide very competent care that patients appreciate more than what patients normally get from doctors (Christiansen, 874).
The material presented in this paper focuses on advanced practical nursing -- nurse practitioners -- and what they do, how they qualify to become APRNs, and how they collaborate with physicians in order to be able to prescribe medications for patients. What has been gleaned from the literature that was used in this piece is that the APRN is more involved in critical thinking and the "theoretical application and extensive clinical experience" that paved the way for their advancement into advanced knowledge and authority (Christianson, 875). There was a time when nurses were conditioned into believing that "a title will convey their level of authority" but not the level of competence needed for that role (Christianson, 875). That belief should be thrown out the window because nurses that are getting their Master's degrees and are becoming leaders are pushing their weight around in the sense that they are becoming more like doctors than ordinary RNs; they prescribe medication; they lead; they make judgment calls; and moreover, patients prefer getting healthcare services from a APRN rather than a physician.
The important distinction to be made in the advanced practice nurse milieu is that nurses who advance into the APRN status are engaged in a process of integration, rather than being locked into learning more about healthcare content.
Leadership -- whether a nurse practitioner intended to lead or not -- should inevitably be linked to the role the APRN plays in England. Interestingly there has been a lack of specificity in terms of evaluating the role of the advanced practitioner in England, according to Newville, et al., writing in the peer-reviewed Journal of Nursing Management. Managed care in England should be seen as on the upswing given the growth of the field of advanced practitioners there. But Newville offers three purposes for advanced practitioners that appear to devalue the potential of APRNs since they are aims that any competent RN with a four-year degree could step into and complete.
The three main aims of continuing to develop advanced practitioner roles in England include: a) improving the quality of care and to reduce costs (no one can argue with that on the face of it); b) to increase capacity and "extend the range of services" that can be made available to patients (this is questionable in terms of APRNs giving an advantage to English healthcare); and c) to "reduce the medical workload" (this is absolutely the wrong reason for training nurses to become advance practitioners) (Newville, et al., 2012). Reviewing those three aims one must wonder -- why would the healthcare industry ignore the additional education and leadership skills that advanced practitioners have gone through? Where is the information in this scholarly article about an APRN actually playing the part of a physician? One wonders why prescriptive authority is not considered a pivotal reason for training and hiring advanced practice nurses in England.
Advanced practice nursing in Singapore has been on the upswing for over ten years now but there are signs that it is not going well and one reason could be a wrongheaded approach to the project. Large amounts of money have been made available as scholarships so that RNs can continue into a Master's program and become APRNs. However, the project has been "turbulent at times" as some graduates do not want to finish the internship and do not "successfully complete the certification process" (Schober, 2010). Moreover, there is "confusion" over what the APRN can do that sets the APRN apart from the RN. The wrongheadedness of the campaign to create more APRNs is that administrators believe nurse practitioners could "…fill gaps in the provision of healthcare services" (Schober, p. 449). Fill gaps? That's patently absurd. The talented APRN can expand the ability of the healthcare sector, can provide a new level of service that patients will truly appreciate -- as opposed to having a doctor breathlessly spend 5 to 7 minutes with a patient before dashing off to his or her next 5 to 7-minute appointment.
Unlike medical administrators in Singapore, healthcare…[continue]

Advanced Nursing Development A "master's education is achieving notable goals, including the development of refined analytical skills, broad-based perspectives, enhanced abilities to articulate viewpoints and positions, clearer ability to connect theory to practice, and enhanced skills in a specific profession" (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2012, p 2). An advanced practice nurse embodies a wide number of various roles. They must inspire, protect, advocate, and perform, all within one shift.
THREE: Ethics: This portion of the learning experience for the RN wanting to be an APRN is important because: a) ethical dilemmas and how they impact patient care must be part of the curriculum; b) decision-making with ethics as a driver for decisions must be learned; c) in what instances do personal conflict of interest arise? FOUR: Professional Role Development: the knowledge and skills to be effective are taught: a)
Role of Advanced Practice Nurse Framework for Clinical Practice Person/Client/Client System Environment Health Nursing/APN (Factors Effecting APN's Practice and Implementation of the APN Nursing Process) Interrelationships of Client System, Environment, Health, and Nursing/APN Role of Advanced Practice Nurse Research shows that an advanced practice nurse (APN) is first of all a nurse that has been recognized as a person that has advanced education. This person is also known t knowledge and skills prepared at the masters or doctorate level.
Advanced Practice Nursing Framework Following its introduction during the 1960s, the role of the advanced practice nurse (hereinafter alternatively "APN") has expanded greatly into a number of specialty areas (Nwosuocha, 1999). Consequently, the definition of the advanced practice nurse has also experienced significant changes. According to Nwosuocha, "With the expanded roles of advanced practice nursing there are many definitions of what constitute faculty practice. Teaching, service, joint appointments and other
Advanced Practice Nurses and Prescriptive Authority Though the roles of Clinical Nurse Specialist, Nurse Educator and Nurse Administrator are all vital to the health care industry, they are not allowed prescriptive authority per se. However, the role of Nurse Practitioner is intimately connected with the ability to prescribe medications.

Advanced Practice Nursing Compare and Contrast the APRN and MDs scope of practice. The scope of practices for APRNs is to focus on specific areas of medicine which can be transferred from the hospital to a clinic, skilled nursing facility or outpatient care center. The basic idea is that an RN with several years of experience and advanced training can offer effective health care solutions for families / children. Some of the
