Introducing ASP.NET Core:
ASP.NET Core is a new open-source and cross-platform framework for building modern cloud based internet connected applications, such as web apps, IoT apps and mobile backends. ASP.NET Core apps can run on .NET Core or on the full .NET Framework. It was architected to provide an optimized development framework for apps that are deployed to the cloud or run on-premises. It consists of modular components with minimal overhead, so you retain flexibility while constructing your solutions. You can develop and run your ASP.NET Core apps cross-platform on Windows, Mac and Linux. ASP.NET Core is open source at GitHub.
The framework is a complete rewrite that unites the previously separate ASP.NET MVC and Web API into a single programming model.
Despite being a new framework, built on a new web stack, it does have a high degree of concept compatibility with ASP.NET MVC.
ASP.NET Platform exists for more than 15 years. In addition, at the time of System.Web creation it contained a large amount of code to support backward compatibility with classic ASP. During this time, the platform has accumulated a sufficient amount of code that is simply no longer needed and is deprecated. Microsoft faced a difficult choice: to abandon backward compatibility, or to announce a new platform. They chose the second option. At the same time, they would have to abandon the existing runtime. Microsoft has always been a company focused on creation and launch on Windows. ASP.NET was no exception. Now the situation has changed: Azure and Linux occupied an important place in the company's strategy.
The ASP.NET Core is poised to replace ASP.NET in its current form. So should you switch to ASP.NET Core now?
ASP.NET Core is not just a new version. It is a completely new platform, the change of epochs. Switching to ASP.NET Core can bring many benefits: compact code, better performance and scalability. But what price will be paid in return, how much code will have to be rewritten?
.NET Core contains many components, which we are used to deal with. Forget System.Web, Web Forms, Transaction Scope, WPF, Win Forms. They no longer exist. For simple ASP.NET MVC-applications changes will be minor and the migration will be simple. For more complex applications, which use a great number of .NET Framework classes and ASP.NET pipeline situation is more complicated. Something may work and something may not. Some part of the code will have to be rewritten from scratch. Additional problems may be caused by WebApi, because ASP.NET MVC subsystems and WebAPI are now combined. Many libraries and nuget-packages are not ready yet. So, some applications simply will not have a chance to migrate until new versions of the libraries appear.
I think we are waiting for the situation similar to the transition from Web Forms to ASP.NET MVC. ASP.NET Framework will be supported for a long time. First, only a small amount of applications will be developed on ASP.NET Core. Their number will increase, but sooner or later everyone will want to move to ASP.NET Core. We still have many applications running on the Web Forms. However, no one comes to mind to develop a new application on the Web Forms now, everybody chooses MVC. Soon the same happens to ASP.NET Framework, and ASP.NET Core. ASP.NET Core offers more opportunities to meet modern design standards.
The following characteristics best define .NET Core:
- Flexible deployment: Can be included in your app or installed side-by-side user- or machine-wide.
- Cross-platform: Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux; can be ported to other OSes (Operating Systems). The supported OSes, CPUs and application scenarios will grow over time, provided by Microsoft, other companies, and individuals.Command-line tools: All product scenarios can be exercised at the command-line.
- Compatible: .NET Core is compatible with .NET Framework, Xamarin and Mono, via the .NET Standard Library.
- Open source: The .NET Core platform is open source, using MIT and Apache 2 licenses. Documentation is licensed under CC-BY. .NET Core is a .NET Foundation project.
- Supported by Microsoft: .NET Core is supported by Microsoft, per .NET Core Support.
The Bad:
- As for the "cons" one of the biggest issues are gaps in the documentation. Fortunately most of the things for creating and API are covered, but when you're building an MVC app, you might have problems.
- Next problem – changes. Even if you find a solution to your problem, it could have been written for a previous version and might not work in the current one. Thanks to open source nature of it, there is also support available on github. But you get same problems there (apart from searching).
- Another thing is lack of support in the tooling. You can forget about NCrunch or R# Test Runner. Both companies say they will get to it when it gets more stable.
- ASP.NET Core is still too raw. Many basic things, such as the Data Access, is not designed for 100%. There is no guarantee that the code you are using now will work in the release version.
The Good:
- It's modular. You can add and remove features as you need them by managing NuGet packages.
- It's also much easier and straightforward to set up.
- WebApi is now part of the MVC, so you can have class UserController, which will return a view, but also provide a JSON API.
- It's cross-platform.
- It's open-source.
ASP.NET Core is the work on the bugs of the classic ASP.NET MVC, the ability to start with a clean slate. In addition, Microsoft also aims to become as popular as Ruby and NodeJS among younger developers.
NodeJS and ASP.NET have always been rivals: both – a platform for backend. But in fact, between them, of course, there was no struggle. The new generation of developers, the so-called hipster developers, prefer Ruby and Node. The adult generation, people from the corporate environment, are on the side of .NET and Java. .NET Core is clearly trying to be more youthful, fashionable and popular. So, in future we can expect the .NET Core and NodeJS to be in opposition.
In its advertising campaign, Microsoft is betting on unusual positions for it: high performance, scalability, cross-platform. Do you think that ASP.NET "crawls" on the territory of NodeJS? Please feel free to share your thoughts with us.
Thank you in advance!

It's impossible to deny the amazing rise of Chrome OS. This Linux-based platform was the ideal solution at the ideal time. The cloud proved itself not only a viable option but, in many cases, the most optimal option. The puzzle was simple to solve:
Create a cost-effective platform that blended seamlessly with the cloud.
Linux? Are you listening? Now is your chance. All of the pieces are there, you just have grab the golden ring before Microsoft does.
One of the main reasons why Chrome OS has succeeded is Google. Google not only has the cash to spend on the development of such a product, it also has the momentum of brand behind it (and the "Google" brand no less). Even without this, Linux could follow in the footsteps of Google and create their own cloud-based OS.
But why?
The answer to that is also simple: Because Linux needs (in one form or another) a major win in the desktop arena. It now has the streed cred (thanks to Android and Chrome OS — both of which are built on a Linux kernel), so all it needs is to deliver something… anything… to build on the momentum. I think that thing could be a cloud-based platform. These platforms have already proven their worth, and people are buying them up. Since cheap (read "free") has been one of the many calling cards for Linux, it's a perfect fit.
I've installed Linux on a Chromebook (Bodhi Linux on an Acer C720). The marriage of a full-blown Linux distribution and the Chromebook was fantastic. You could hop onto your Google account and work magic — or to one-up Chrome OS, you could work on the many local apps. That's where a cloud-based Linux device could help solidify both the cloud ecosystem and the Linux platform… the best of both worlds.
To this end, three things need to happen:
- Canonical needs to re-focus on the desktop (or in this case, a cloud-based iteration)
- A hardware vendor needs to step up and take a chance on this platform idea
- Open Xchange needs to work with the distribution to create a seamless experience between the platform and the cloud system
It's a lot to ask, especially on Canonical's end (with them focusing so much effort on the Ubuntu Phone and Mir). But with their goal of convergence, getting Ubuntu Linux cloudbook-ready shouldn't be a problem. As for Open Xchange, I would imagine them welcoming this opportunity. At the moment, the OX App suite is a quality product living its life in obscurity. A Linux-based "cloudbook" (please do not call it a Linbook) could change that. The hardware side of things is simple, because it's already been proved that Linux will run on nearly every one of the available Chromebooks (and it should, since Chrome OS uses the Linux kernel).
I say all of this as an avid Chromebook user. I find the minimal platform a refreshing change that's both incredibly easy to use and efficiently helps me get my work done with minimal distraction. There are times, however, I would love to have a few local apps (like The Gimp, for example). With a Linux cloudbook, this would not only be possible, it would be easy. In fact, you would find plenty of apps that could be installed and run locally (without sucking up too much local storage space).
The cloudbook could very well be the thing that vaults Linux into the hands of the average user, without having to stake its claim on Chrome OS or Android. And with the Linux cloudbook in the hands of users, the door for the Ubuntu Phone will have been opened and ready to walk through. Convergence made possible and easy.
The desktop, the cloudbook, the phone.
Is the cloudbook a path that Linux should follow — or would the overwhelming shadow of Google keep it neatly tucked away from the average consumer and success? Let us know your thoughts in the discussion thread below.

Linux users have been mostly left out when trying to get in on the gaming action, but soon they'll be able to be "Left 4 Dead 2" instead. Recently Valve announced that it would bring its digital distribution service Steam to the Linux platform.
The company reportedly formed a new team last year to work on a full-featured version of the Steam client for Ubuntu 12.04, and the result is "Left 4 Dead 2," a first-person action game developed by Valve and set in world overrun by zombies.
The so-called "Steam'd Penguins" project will see more titles ported to Linux, and this will allow developers to target gamers via the online service beyond just Windows and Mac. To date, Linux users have had to rely on Windows emulators such as Wine and often have been annoyed with bugs and compatibility problems along the way.
"Valve wants Steam to be on all platforms, and it is possible that Linux could see greater exploitation as a gaming platform," Billy Pidgeon, a game industry analyst with M2 Research, told.
Steam'd Up With Open Source
Steam's move to Linux will be done through Ubuntu, at least initially. The goal of the development team is to create a full-featured Steam client, and good progress has been made so far. However, no date has been set when gamers might actually get Steam'd up on Ubuntu and blast away the walking undead.
In addition to opening up the online service to open source gamers, this could help Steam get a bit more attention as well.
"Steam remains one of the best assets in the gaming space today that doesn't get much attention due to the console cycles and the rise of social gaming," P.J. McNealy, consultant at Digital World Research, consider. "However, it's right in the thick of the emerging business models for gaming, and being available on Linux certainly can't hurt."
Battling Piracy
While gamers will get to battle those zombies in the first game for Steam on Ubuntu, the online service continues to do its job battling the digital pirates plaguing game publishers and developers.
The Steam service requires gamers to log in to the service to play a game, and this authenticates that the copy is tied to the specific user. This in turn makes it very difficult for pirates to copy and distribute the code.
"Steam has largely stopped piracy of games that are available on the service," said Pidgeon. "This is especially true in the Asian markets, where piracy has been an ongoing concern."
It was piracy concerns that led many game developers to move away from PC games to the video game consoles, but some game companies see opportunities in the PC market again, thanks to services such as Steam. Being on Linux could help attract that small, but very passionate market of gamers.
"It doesn't cost too much to support it, so why not?" asked Pidgeon. "And as the consoles get long in the tooth, there could be more game development on the PC, which Steam could support."
Linux Gaming Beyond Steam
Steam of course is not the only online service operating. While it is the leading service, some game publishers, including Activision and Electronic Arts, have created their own services that allow users to purchase, download and update games.
This has also helped reduce piracy of some hot-selling titles such as those in the "Call of Duty" and "Battlefield 3" franchises.
But could Steam get developers powered up to look more closely at open source? Probably not.
"It is hard to say, but I don't think there will be a huge effort to open source on the PC," said Pidgeon. "It is going to take a lot more than Steam to get publishers on board with Linux."

|Prime Minister
Mustafa Merlika-Kruja (March 15, 1887, Akçahisar, Ottoman Empire (modern-day Krujë, Albania) – December 27, 1958, Niagara Falls, New York)[1] was Prime Minister of Albania during the Italian occupation from December 4, 1941 to January 19, 1943, one of the signatories of Albanian Declaration of Independence,[2] and Axis collaborator.
He was born Mustafa Asim Merlika, son of Mehmed. His family was Bektashi. His father was a local administrator of the lands of Essad Pasha, who from his side sponsored the education of Mustafa. According to Albanian sources he studied at the local Rüştiye, then in Yannina, before going to the today's Faculty of Political Science, Ankara University ("Mekteb-i Mülkiye") which he finished in 1910. According to Turkish author Çankaya, he studied at the local school in Elbasan, then in Mercan idadisi in Istambul before entering the Mülkiye. There he learned Turkish and French.[3]
As a student in the Ottoman capital he joined the Revolutionary League ("Cemiyet-i İnkılabiye") against the autocracy of Sultan Abdul Hamid II. After the Young Turk Revolution he worked for supporting the Albanian language at the Mülkiye, and posted articles in the liberal press against the Committee of Union and Progress using the signature "Asim Cenan". Contrary to what Essad Pasha had in mind for him, instead of becoming Kaymakam he preferred a career in education. In 1910 he was appointed secretary of the administration, in the Ministry of Public Education in Istanbul. A year later he was appointed director of the Public Education for the Sanjak of Elbasan, Manastir Vilayet.[3]
After participating as a volunteer in Ottoman army during the Italo-Turkish War in 1912, he joined the Albanian Independence movement. Merlika-Kruja participated in the Assembly of Vlorë of 28 November 1912, and his name appears in the list of signatories of the Independence Act.
In 1913 he joined the Ministry of Education and in 1914 became an adviser of the Ministry of Public Education.
In 1918 he participated in the Congress of Durrës, favored an Italian protectorate over Albania, and was elected Minister of Posts and Telegraphs. According to Sejfi Vllamasi's (1883–1975) memories, there Kruja would be the main opponent of the Congress of Lushnjë event together with Fejzi Alizoti, Myfit Libohova, and Sami Vrioni.[4] These include the assassination of the Prefect of Durrës (and delegate to Lushnjë) Abdyl Ypi (1876-1920) by Sul Mërlika, himself cousin of Kruja, the prohibition of Krujë delegates to join the congress, the attempts to stop the delegates of Committee for the National Defence of Kosovo, as well as failed attempts of Fejzi Alizoti and Myfid Libohova to stop other delegates from north and south of the country even involving Italian militia.
In 1921 he was elected to the Albanian parliament where he belonged to a progressive trend, openly opposing Ahmet Zogu's clan, and close with connections to the Committee for the National Defence of Kosovo which would be officially banned by Zogu later. In 1922, he was involved in a coup d'état attempt against the government of Xhafer Ypi together with the north-east Dibra clan of Cen Elezi and Elez Isufi, and had to temporarily flee from Albania to Yugoslavia. He was placed in an internment camp there. Kruja asked permission to visit Vienna for personal reasons and was granted temporary pass-out. He did not return to Yugoslavia, breaking his agreement and placing himself in the "black list" of the Yugoslav authorities. In 1924 he was appointed prefect by Noli's government. As an active participant of the June Revolution in 1924, he had to flee the country and moved to Zadar, Vienna, and later settled in Switzerland. There he joined the KONARE ("Revolutionary National Committee") established by Noli.[3] During these exile years, Kruja would be pro-Italian and prominent Zog opponent, keeping also ties with the "Bashkimi Kombëtar" ("National Union") organization and other exile personalities as Hasan Prishtina, Sejfi Vllamasi, Ali Klissura, Qazim Mulleti, Aziz Çami, Rexhep Mitrovica, etc.
On August 4, 1939, after the personal union of Albania to the crown of Italy, Merlika-Kruja was appointed as a Senator within the Italian Kingdom until August 25, 1944, when he resigned. During his tenure he was a member of the Foreign Affairs, Trade and Customs legislature.
He is remembered for the public speech held on December 24, 1942, in response of the Anthony Eden's statement in accordance with the communique of the Greek government in London (in exile) which stated that Britain and US would not recognize any border changes established by the Fascists, and that neighboring countries would have the right to claim parts of Albania at the end of the war.[5]
In the spring of 1944 he escaped by boat from Albania to Italy and from there to Egypt. There he met an old rival of his, the Albanian King Ahmed Zogu. After World War II he lived in France. During the last exile period he would join the political organization in exile of the Albanian publicist and writer Ernest Koliqi (1903–1975).[3] This organization was named "Independent National Bloc" and was formed on 6 November 1946, in Rome. The last years of his life were spent in the United States where he died in a hospital in Niagara Falls, New York.[6]
During his life, Kruja would write articles to many Albanian journal within and outside Albania, including Il Corriere delle Puglie (1914), Albanian newspaper of Rome Kuvendi ("The Assembly") (1918), and Mbrojtja Kombëtare ("The national defense") published in Vlora between 1920 and 1923. Since after World War I he worked on a voluminous dictionary of Albanian language. He continued with intellectual studies till the end of life, some of them published in periodicals and books, and some of them being published lately by his descendant after the fall of communism in Albania.[3]

Below, please find my list of things I want for Christmas, but certainly don't need. Let me preface by saying, it's 12-7-07 and JD has already received some gifts, because Poppa Coppa likes to spoil him (He's all taken care of, but feel free to stuff his stocking). So, humor me, Santa...and my friends (be sure to tell Santa__ 3__ things you want (but would never buy for yourself), and have fun with it--be as materialistic as you want--NO JUDGEMENT IS ALLOWED TODAY!)
Full confession: If JD wasn't in the pic--I'd probably be charging all this "stuff." Guess, I* did* grow up.
Your turn!
Have a great weekend.

One pub village on the border between New South Wales and Queensland.
Barringun, located on the NSW-Queensland border 128 km north of Burke and 119 km south of Cunnamulla, was once a thriving town which was serviced by four hotels, and a wide variety of other shops. It was at the centre of movements of people through the Darling Downs and across into western NSW and Queensland. The town was a stopover point for shearers, drovers, mailmen, swaggies, labourers, adventurers and Cobb & Co coaches.
A description of the town which appeared in the Australian Handbook in 1894 captures its brief moment of glory: 'A border township with post, telegraph, money order station and Government Savings Bank. In the country of Culgoa, electoral district of Bourke, partly in Queensland territory, 640 miles north west of Sydney. Mode of conveyance per coach to Bourke. 90 miles thence per rail. There are two hotels and a customs station on the Queensland side of the border. The buildings on the New South Wales side comprise a bonded warehouse, post and telegraph offices, two hotels (Royal Mail and Queensland), a branch of the Commercial Bank, a brewery, two butcher's shops, a few private cottages, a court house and gaol and a public school. Average attendance - 30. Population about 180.'
Today the town has one pub and a population of four. It is quite common in the late afternoon to see half the town's population - the publican and one customer - at the pub. The Tattersalls Hotel (the grand name has little to do with its very humble status) stands forlornly on the western side of the highway. The rest of this once thriving town has now disappeared with only a couple of deserted buildings remaining. There is no hint of a settlement on the Queensland side of the border.

Purpose, vision and the people of the Compassionate Care Initiative at the University of Virginia
The purpose is to cultivate a resilient and compassionate healthcare workforce—locally, regionally, and nationally— through innovative educational and experiential programs. Our vision is to have safe and high functioning healthcare environments with healthy and happy healthcare professionals and where heart and humanness are valued and embodied.
Can compassion be taught? UVa Nursing's all volunteer army of nurses, physicians, administrators, professors and students are learning concrete ways to insert compassion into every patient interaction -- and they're bolstering their own resilience in the process.
Dorrie Fontaine, Interim Director
Dean Dorrie K. Fontaine, RN, PhD, FAAN – a long-time clinician, academic and administrator with a lengthy and distinguished record serving at many of the nation's top nursing schools – became dean at the University of Virginia School of Nursing in 2008.
After attending Upaya's end-of-life program "Being with Dying" early in her UVA tenure, Fontaine established the School's Compassionate Care Initiative in 2009 which today offers programs, retreats and workshops centered on mindfulness and resilience most weeks throughout the year. Understanding that nursing is more than a skills-based profession, Fontaine asserts that purposeful instruction in compassion is critical to nurturing strong and empathic clinicians who are less error-prone, less likely to experience burnout and more deeply in tune with their patients. As CCI's message spreads and practices like "The Pause" take root in hospitals and clinics around the US, Fontaine continues to publish widely and has become a sought-after speaker on why resilience augments the care, well-being and professional longevity of clinicians and others.
Six years after its beginning, CCI's wide range of programs today attract hundreds of nursing students, faculty, clinicians and staff – along with a range of individuals across Grounds and from the community – each year.

Betty Mooney, Program Facilitator
Betty graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Dance and German. An injury while dancing led to her first massage where she realized how much tension she was holding in her body. The massage improved not only her ability to move but her outlook on life. Betty decided to combine dance and massage as dual careers and studied at the Detroit School of Swedish Massage. She also went on to receive training as a Dance Therapist and worked in a Michigan Hospital with the elderly and then at Western State Hospital in Staunton, Virginia with the adolescent population.
After moving to Virginia in 1972, Betty helped found the McGuffey Art Center where she taught modern dance and the Alexander Technique, having received her training from Majorie Barstow, a student of Alexander. She has been practicing Massage Therapy for 42 years.
Through her work, Betty has helped clients gain improved body awareness and proper use of the body in movement. "It is my belief that if we learn to move in proper alignment many injuries and future health problems can be prevented and we can have a heightened awareness and enjoyment of our world", Betty says.
Lauren Catlett, Program Facilitator

Hiromi Johnson
Hiromi was born in Tokyo, Japan. She started her practice of T'ai Chi and Ch'i Kung in 1980 to rehabilitate her knees after surgery. She studied under two Masters of the Cheng-Ming School in Tokyo in 1988 and continued practice after she moved to Charlottesville in 1998.
In 2002, she started to study under Grandmaster Wang Fu-Lai, the lineage holder of Cheng-Ming School in Taiwan. She was certified as an International Cheng-Ming Instructor for T'ai Chi and Ch'i Kung in 2008 and Hsing-I in 2010, and was inducted as the last indoor student of Grandmaster Wang.
Hiromi believes that one of her missions is to help increase awareness of the health benefits of T'ai Chi and Ch'i Kung. In 2004, she founded a non-profit educational organization, the Charlottesville T'ai Chi Center, to reach out to the community. Besides her regular classes at her downtown studio and UVA, she actively teaches at senior communities, Worksource Enterprises, Charlottesville Parks & Recreation, and gives workshops and presentations. To observe the Japanese national holiday, she started a "Respect the Elderly Week" program three years ago. She visits local assisted living care centers to give free T'ai Chi presentations for seniors.
Hiromi has been practicing Japanese Tea Ceremony and Vipassana Meditation since 1978. She finds these practices complement the practice of Internal Martial Arts. She believes that integrating T'ai Chi practice with her daily life benefits not only her wellbeing but also her teaching. Her teaching focuses equally on the martial applications, health benefits, and meditation aspects of the Internal Martial Arts.

She enjoys hiking, participating in Old Rag Master Naturalist program and as a volunteer in Shenandoah National Park, nature photography, and traveling with friends and family.
Michael Swanberg
What does it means to have a socially-engaged contemplative practice? This might include ways of applying mindfulness principles and practices to areas of suffering such as addiction, health disparities, or end-of-life care. It could also involve ways that we can take an engaged and compassionate stand on social justice issues of gender equality, environmental degradation, inhumane incarceration, or war. Nothing is outside of our mindfulness practice, including our relationship to the political issues in our lives.
Currently a PhD student in the School of Nursing, Michael's research is focused on health disparities and structural justice. Through the department of health, he is piloting interventions to improve racial disparities in maternal/child health outcomes. Since 2012, he has facilitated weekly meditation classes at the maximum security women's prison in Fluvanna County as a member of the Blue Ridge Prison Project.

In the past years, she has sought different avenues for bringing contemplation into her work with faculty and students. With John Alexander, she created the Contemplative Pedagogy Program for instructors seeking to integrate contemplation into their classrooms.

In addition to relaxation massage she is certified in manual lymph drainage and neuromuscular therapy.
Through her volunteer experience most recently with Hospice of Virginia she has discovered the profound significance and fulfillment of working with elderly sick and dying patients. Her love of the clinical aspects of massage therapy instigated her pursuit of a masters in nursing through UVA's Clinical Nurse Leader program. She is most intrigued by the endless possibilities and profound outcomes achieved when healthcare encompasses the whole person. She finds the challenge of integrating holistic approaches into the traditional setting of medicine and healthcare exciting and promising.

The seeds for the Compassionate Care Initiative (CCI) were planted in 2009. It has evolved and grown into a comprehensive program far greater than the original vision. Funded by a generous benefactor in 2009, an initial interprofessional group of ten University of Virginia (UVA) healthcare providers attended an eight-day contemplative retreat in New Mexico that focused on end-of-life care. As Dean of the UVA School of Nursing who participated in this program, Dorrie Fontaine experienced firsthand the value of contemplation and its role in resilience. It was also there that Dorrie Fontaine had the opportunity to meet Susan Bauer-Wu, the first and current director of the CCI.
From 2009 through 2012, two consultants, Cynda Rushton (nurse ethicist at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing) and Monica Sharma (physician and former United Nations director of Leadership and Capacity Development) led a series of workshops over two and a half years. Multiple clinicians, faculty and staff across the health system and Schools of Nursing and Medicine and other University schools were introduced to Dr. Sharma's model, the Conscious Full-Spectrum model. This process helped to engage UVA clinicians in unit-based projects related to end-of-life care in different clinical areas, including pediatrics, palliative care, emergency medicine, and oncology.
A video, created in 2012, showcased UVA faculty and clinicians implementing the early CCI work. The video described The Pause, a 45-second pause following unsuccessful resuscitation in the UVA Emergency Department to honor the patient and the hard work of the clinicians involved in the code; The Pause was formalized by Jonathan Bartels, RN in response to feedback by a student chaplain. One of the key features of the video is the voices of the clinicians, faculty, and chaplains speaking of how they themselves were changed and learned to "show up differently" in leading the institution towards a more compassionate environment.
The early years set the foundation for CCI and the recruitment of Susan Bauer-Wu who began in this role of Director in January 2013, and hiring of Hannah Walker, CCI program coordinator.
Now, CCI is a highly integrated program that touches students, faculty, and staff across UVA, the broader community, and beyond. CCI promotes clinician (and student-clinician) wellness and high-quality, compassionate clinical care through a variety of educational offerings (locally, regionally, and nationally) and supporting Compassionate Care Ambassadors to be role models and champions in their respective settings.

(My preference is "let's do another one). Mind you, it seemed a lot better when I was in that zone between awake and sleep,and I was playing about with it in my head, but apart from that I would like it to be back in some form or other as I think it is a stirring tune which instantly gets most people joining in, and is instantly recognisable as a rangers tune by everyone. No mention of "f****n". No mention of "surrender or you'll die". Lets everyone know who we are...Billy Boys (keeping the songs title), and our achievement and aim. And that we are indeed the world's most successful football Club. And nothing to offend anyone. Tuppence spent. Right, I'm away back into obscurity. WATP

Sinus surgury
Once sinus surgery is done and the sinus holes are open, how long does it take to block the holes again ? I mean how effective surgery will be ?
Answers (2)
Like the answers? Chat privately for 24 hours with the doctor of your choice
Surgery for sinusitis is not THE TREATMENT but merely the FIRST STEP OF THE TREATMENT! Surgery just created a clear pathway for medicines to reach the diseased sinuses, widening the sinus openings, straightening any bent portions of nasal septum, removing any obstructions like polyps. This must be followed by months of Intranasal Corticosteroid Spray therapy to heal the underlying sinus disease and heal the sinus mucosa. This alone can prevent future disease recurrences and give you a functioning nose!

Depends on the pathology that the patient had and the surgical skills of the SURGEON. Usually patients do well if they start douching their nose after surgery.

Anyone can do yoga. It strengthens muscles, improves flexibility, and reduces stress, hence its rise to popularity. There are different types of yoga, with different moves, positions and focus, as taught by yoga instructors. Anyone can start a yoga class and lead it, but fitness experts advise aspiring yogis to take lessons from yoga instructors with formal training. Employers also prefer to hire certified yoga instructors. Certified yoga instructors are trained to effectively and safely teach the different types of yoga to their students. There are several requirements to fulfill before yoga instructors can complete their training and get their certification.
Yoga instructor Training
Certification training programs for aspiring yoga instructors are offered by various organizations, including associations like the American Fitness Professionals and Associates. These programs are also offered by yoga schools and centers, as well as private companies. Yoga training providers allow students to choose from different types of training as they vary in terms of the required number of hours. It could be 200, 500 or 1,000 hours of certification training. It also depends on the type of yoga chosen by the aspiring yoga instructor. It could be Bikram, Ashtanga, Hatha, or Vinyasa.
Read more about How to become a yoga instructor.
Yoga instructor Certification Courses
Yoga certification classes usually discuss different topics, such as the roots and philosophies of yoga, principles of anatomy and physiology, and yoga postures and positions. These classes also teach students about the types of yoga, breathing techniques, meditation methods, and body alignment. Aspiring yoga instructors who want to take advanced training courses will learn about developing yoga classes depending on the type of students, such as children, seniors, pregnant women, and athletes, among others.
Yoga instructor Requirements
Certification program providers often require aspiring yoga instructors to be at least 18 years old, although other providers only accept 21-year olds and above. There are also providers who only take in students who have a yoga background, hence their requirement for applicants to write an essay or answer questions about what they know about yoga. Some certification programs also give outside work, such as book reports, research papers, daily meditation, daily journal, and evaluating different yoga classes. Each program also varies in tuition fees, often ranging from $300 to $3,000. Before signing up for a program, students are advised to read the fine print about the tuition cost, since some fees may not include the cost of travel and the training materials.
Yoga instructor Materials
Training materials are necessary in the pursuit of yoga certification. Yoga training won't be complete without instructional DVDs, textbooks, flash cards, audio CDs, and online resources. These may be included in the overall cost of the certification program.
Yoga instructor Certification Exam
Yoga certification courses usually end with a final exam for the students. To prepare for that exam, quizzes are given throughout the training to test the students' skills and knowledge. Quizzes are both written and hands-on. Students who get a passing score on the final exam will be given their yoga instructor certification and be qualified to teach yoga.

The rankings for the entire 30-team league have been weighted according to how high each club came in on our writers' ballots. In some cases a purely intuitive, wholly unscientific and no doubt deplorable method was used to break ties, rank teams that were chosen by only one or two writers, and antagonize the general public. We've presented the 30 teams in groups, with the Top 10 receiving the most trenchant commentary. Overview paragraphs precede the Middle 10 and Bottom 10. Weekly movement up or down has been noted. So without further ado, commence to stew!
11Pittsburgh Penguinslast week: 2record: 10-2-1MUIR (1): This team seems intent on not just winning but humiliating its opponents. The Penguins have outscored their opponents by 24 goals during their seven-game win streak (32-8), smoked them by five three times, posted three shutouts and killed off 37 consecutive penalties. That's what you call utter dominance.KWAK (1): The Pens' streak includes three straight road games last week. The off-season acquisition of winger Patric Hornqvist certainly looks like it's working out well for Sidney Crosby. The captain is now on pace for a jaw-dropping 151-point season.CAZENEUVE (1): Pittsburgh has emerged as the class of the league. The Pens have outscored foes by 28 goals this season and have yet to lose on the road. When coaches talk about special teams' percentages that should add up to 105 or more, consider that Pittsburgh's is 126.Last week: 3-0-0
22Tampa Bay Lightninglast week: 3record: 11-3-1MUIR (2): The Pens aren't the only team that is blitzing opposing goalies. The Bolts have won six straight, scoring at least four goals in each including the seven-spot they posted against the hapless Blue Jackets on Saturday. Tyler Johnson has four goals in his past three games to move into the top-five in league scoring. Might need to do something about that penalty kill, though—the beleaguered unit has coughed up seven goals in its past 15 chances.KWAK (3): Winners of eight of their last nine games—albeit facing largely middling opponents—the Lightning scooted by the Canadiens into the top spot in the Atlantic Division this week. Their offense has been explosive, averaging 3.80 goals per game this season, and deep. Five players have already had multi-goal games this season, including Steven Stamkos, who's had four.CAZENEUVE (2): The last time the Lightning won six games in a row, Tampa Bay went on to win its only Stanley Cup in 2004. Still, the Bolts have some things to work on. There are the woes that Allan mentioned, coming after Tampa Bay spent much of the early part of the season with one of the best penalty kills. But this may be the only team in the East that could conceivably win a very high-scoring series against Pittsburgh.Last week: 3-0-0
33Anaheim Duckslast week: 1record: 10-3-3MUIR (3): Corey Perry and Francois Beauchemin are on IR with flu-like symptoms caused by a viral gland infection but the whole team's playing like it's battling a bug. The Ducks have played free hockey in four of their past five games and dropped the past three, two in shootouts. Those loser points have allowed them to hold onto top spot in the West but this team is capable of better.KWAK (2): Sick Ducks took some of the wind out of Anaheim's sails this past week, with offensive mavens Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf missing time due to illness. Those three overtime/shootout losses were signs of slowing for the dominant Ducks, who have scored an average of just 1.5 goals per game during their last eight while going 3-2-3.CAZENEUVE (3): First the goalies go down and then the Ducks lose Perry. Anaheim has already overcome a number of stumbles this season, and yet the team is still tops in the Western Conference. Life was easy for the Ducks at this time last season when the club was healthy and it didn't lose at home in regulation until mid-January. If the Ducks are still near the top by Christmas, that will be even more impressive.Last week: 0-0-3
44Nashville Predatorslast week: 5record: 9-3-2MUIR (4): The Predators' annual road trip due to the CMA Awards—who else but Nashville, eh?—was a chart-topping success. An impressive 2-1 win in St. Louis on Saturday closed it out at 4-2-0 and vaulted the Preds back into first place in the Central. Filip Forsberg is building a nice foundation for a Calder Trophy run, collecting five goals and eight points on the roadie.KWAK (5): Their wins aren't emphatic, but neither are their losses. The Preds are becoming masters of taking close games, and that's in large part due to their goalie, Pekka Rinne. After an injury-plagued 2013-14, the 32-year-old netminder has gotten off to a tremendous start, ranking sixth in the league with a .935 save percentage and 1.81 GAA.CAZENEUVE (4): The Preds are the league's second-best team at even strength. If they could just score on the power play. But count on Nashville's games being low scoring nearly every night. In 14 contests this season, the Preds have not been involved in a single game in which they have either scored or allowed more than four goals.Last week: 2-1-0
55St. Louis Blueslast week: 4record: 9-4-1MUIR (5): That loss to the Preds put the kibosh on a seven-game winning streak that was built on terrific goaltending (Jake Allen managed to string together 184 minutes of shutout hockey) and one unstoppable line. Jori Lehtera, Vladimir Tarasenko and Alex Steen have combined to score 11 of the Blues' past 15 goals, though that stat suggests they could use a bit of support. The return of Paul Stastny from IR should help.KWAK (4): Right wing Vladimir Tarasenko, in his third season, has flirted with breakout status—recall his two-goal NHL debut in 2012, a four-game point streak early in 2013—but this season just may be the real deal. Since scoring a hat trick against Dallas on Oct. 28, the 23-year-old has 12 points in seven games, six of them wins for St. Louis. He's riding a five-game point streak and was named the league's Third Star of the Week, not a bad way to follow up his First Star selection on Nov. 3.CAZENEUVE (8): Look out, league: Paul Stastny is back. The Blues forged a six-game win streak even without their big off-season acquisition. Stastny went down with an upper-body injury on Oct. 18 and missed eight games while his team soared. Vladimir Tarasenko can't hog all the headlines. Stastny's return gives the Blues another big weapon and they have done more with less already.Last week: 2-1-0
66Vancouver Canuckslast week: 8record: 11-5-0MUIR (6): Let's just write off that miserable performance in Los Angeles on Saturday and focus instead on the fact that this preseason afterthought has won seven of eight and, after Sunday's hard-fought 2-1 win over the Ducks, is within a point of having the top record in the NHL. Defenseman Chris Tanev caught my eye on this road trip. He's smart and consistent, and while he'll probably never bring much offensively, he seems to do all the little things well in his own zone. A really nice player.KWAK (7): The rather surprisingly good Canucks came out of the California gauntlet—San Jose, Los Angeles and Anaheim—last week with mixed results. They were trounced by Los Angeles, but took two points from the Sharks and an ailing Ducks team. They'll play five of their next six at home, where goalie Ryan Miller has been a perfect 4-0-0.CAZENEUVE (5): The Canucks made some nice progress during a recent spate of games on the road. Now we'll see what they can do with five out of the next six at home. It is typical for a franchise that had Roberto Luongo in goal for years to have a strong No. 1 goalie who wins early and often. Now Ryan Miller is tops in the league with 10 victories. Expect that number to climb steadily during the season.Last week: 3-1-0
77Boston Bruinslast week: 16record: 10-6-0MUIR (7): Make it five straight wins for a Boston club whose blueline is being held together by chewing gum and baling wire. They're not always pretty, but the Bruins are getting it done with smart, simple plays in their own end and a surprisingly effective transition game that ensures the puck spends more time in their possession than it does with the opposition. Torey Krug (broken finger) is practicing and should be back in the lineup soon.KWAK (9): Credit the Bruins for taking advantage of a soft spot in their schedule and winning five straight over Buffalo, Ottawa, Florida, Edmonton and New Jersey. It could be the sort of run that helps a struggling team regain some confidence, and it sets up a certainly fierce meeting against their rival Canadiens on Thursday night.CAZENEUVE (6): The Bruins went from having a surplus of defensemen to having a sudden shortfall in backliners. Yet shorthanded or not, Boston hasn't lost a contest by more than a goal since Oct. 16. What's more, the B's can add Zach Trotman and Joe Morrow to the group of defenders it can call upon down the stretch. When they get completely healthy, they should be back to being the Bruins.Last week: 3-0-0
88Los Angeles Kingslast week: 10record: 8-4-3MUIR (9): Watching them lay a beating on the red-hot Canucks on Saturday was a good reminder of just how dominant this team can be when it decides to go for the kill. I'd like to give the Kings more credit for that, but on too many nights they seem content to simply go where the game takes them.KWAK (8): Yes, the Kings had a statement win over Vancouver on Saturday, but it's still been a mixed bag of results for Los Angeles since its hot start. This week, the Kings face SoCal rivals Anaheim twice in four days. The return of injured stars Marian Gaborik and Anze Kopitar should help L.A. regain some consistency in its lineup and play.CAZENEUVE (9): Darryl Sutter has been especially critical of his team's play recently. One hot goalie and one hot line isn't enough to sustain a club for the balance of a season. But the Kings often stay in hibernation until springtime. By that time, Marian Gaborik and Anze Kopitar will be wide awake and (hopefully) healthy and the Kings will have much more than just one road win. Consider the time until then as a long commercial break or just a Hollywood pause.Last week: 2-0-1
99Montreal Canadienslast week: 7record: 10-4-1MUIR (13)KWAK (6): A solid 4-1 win over Minnesota on Saturday was the Canadiens' first regulation win since Oct. 25. A sign that they've recovered after a rough 2-3-1 slide? This week should be illustrative, as the Habs face some teams on the rebound, such as the Bruins and Flyers.CAZENEUVE (7): Montreal finally parted ways this week with Rene Bourque, who had failed to score and picked up just two assists in 13 games this season. For a team that is sitting strong in the standings with 21 points, the Canadiens have had significant trouble scoring goals. Montreal has scored just 37 so far, fewer than even the Devils and Oilers. Say this for the Canadiens: They hide their weaknesses well.Last week: 2-1-0
1010Calgary Flameslast week: 9record: 9-6-2MUIR (8): So that wasn't exactly the effort they were expecting on Monday night in Carolina, but a 3-2 roadie keeps them within hailing distance of top spot in the Pacific. Amazing how much mileage they're getting out of their defense. Mark Giordano was the NHL's First Star of the Week after going 2-5-7 in three games, but T.J. Brodie and Dennis Wideman have been producing consistently as well. The trio has combined for 14 goals and 42 points through Calgary's first 17 games.KWAK (11)CAZENEUVE (10): The Flames get stronger as the games move along. Calgary has outscored its opponents 22-11 in third periods and overtimes this season. That's a sign of an experienced veteran team, which Calgary is not. But for a team that has been in the dumps for years—five straight out of the playoffs and no series wins since 2004—this is a great sign.Last week: 2-2-0
The defending Eastern champion Rangers remain in a funk and coach Alain Vigneault was moved to say that he was disappointed by the Blueshirts' sleepwalk through a home loss to the Oilers on Sunday. New York has its injury issues, but this team has also been hindered by a shortage of size and grit. The Blackhawks were one of the clubs that showed signs of life last week. Their offense came alive, scoring five goals against the Canadiens on Tuesday and five more against the Sharks on Sunday, but the play of Corey Crawford has come to define Chicago. With a 1.75 goals-against average and .932 save percentage, he's been one of the league's best keepers through the first month of the season. Faced with a rather stagnant offense, coach Joel Quenneville reunited Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane on a line last week, searching for a spark somewhere in the lineup. What happened? The Hawks promptly put together their two five-goal games. Another resurrection story: The stumbling Islanders kept the buzzards at bay by rattling off three straight road wins after dropping three games in a row including the first two of their Western road trip. One win, over the depleted Ducks, was in overtime, and another came in a shootout with the Kings. But New York allowed only three goals in its three wins while getting some sturdy defensive play, solid goaltending and late heroics from Frans Nielsen.
We might have been too generous with our assignment of the Wild. Since Zach Parise was sidelined with an upper body injury, Minnesota has dropped three straight and been outscored 11-2 in the process. Goaltender Josh Harding is back practicing with the club, and while there's no timetable for his return, the sooner he's back in their net, the better. Darcy Kuemper's .889 save percentage so far in November just won't cut it.

The Devils' atrocious penalty kill—a dismal 65.5%—has already taken them out of so many games this season. Just take this week: In their three losses, each of the game-winners were power play goals. And Cory Schneider hasn't exactly been lights-out in net, either. Elsewhere, a couple of struggling goalies are starting to find their rhythm in Carolina and Arizona. Mike Smith put his early struggles behind him last week, stopping 97 of 102 shots (a .951 save percentage) while leading the Coyotes to a pair of wins in three appearances. Cam Ward has been even better for the Hurricanes, going 5-0 in November with a 1.38 GAA and .946 save percentage. After missing five games with an upper body injury, center Eric Staal has also brought some stability back to the Canes, who have won four of their last five after going winless in their first eight games of the season. It may be getting late early in Colorado and Dallas, where expectation has exceeded performance so far this season. And just how bad will things get in Buffalo, where the local club might actually be better off playing with sabres than sticks?

APNewsBreak: Brown Turns Down IndyCar CEO Job
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) May 14, 2013 - Zak Brown has turned down an offer to become CEO of IndyCar Series, choosing instead to remain with the motorsports marketing company he founded.
Brown told The Associated Press on Tuesday he informed Hulman & Co. CEO Mark Miles of his decision not to take the top job with IndyCar. He'll instead relocate in July to England to continue the growth of his Zionsville, Ind.-based agency, Just Marketing International.
"I'm a huge fan of IndyCar, it's a great product and it certainly would have been a great opportunity and challenge," Brown said. "I have no doubt Mark Miles and the team he forms will lead the series down a path of success- and we at JMI will continue to do our part to support IndyCar.
"I'm committed to JMI, excited about our future and therefore unable to pursue any other opportunities. Mark is fully aware of my passion for IndyCar and my desire to contribute to the series' success in any way I can, but at this time that cannot be in the CEO role."
Brown had been contemplating leaving Indiana for London when discussions began earlier this year with Miles about a potential role for Brown in IndyCar. Miles, hired late last year as head of IndyCar's parent company, had said Brown had made it clear "his only interest would be if we put the pieces together and he was the head of racing."
The courtship dragged on for months, and on Monday the series announced longtime motorsports veteran Derrick Walker had been hired as head of competition reporting directly to Miles. Brown said Walker's hiring had nothing to do with his decision.
"I think Mark's first task at hand is getting the organizational structure correct and the right people in the right roles, and I think he's well on his way with getting good people in place," Brown said. "Certainly Derrick Walker is a highly experienced individual that can contribute to IndyCar's growth."
The timing of the courtship by IndyCar was complicated by the revelation in late March that Spire Capital Partners was trying to sell its 60 percent ownership stake in JMI. Spire purchased its share in 2008, and Brown still owns 20 percent along with advertising agency WPP.
Spire's desire to sell clouded JMI's future at the same time Brown was trying to make a decision about what he wanted to do with his career. Although Spire has made no announcement about its plans for JMI, Brown seemed confident Tuesday his place is leading JMI into the future.
"I have invested my entire business life into JMI, I've got great partners in Spire Capital and WPP, and the best group of employees," Brown said. "Collectively we've all turned JMI into market leaders. Motorsports and our business has never been stronger and we have some very exciting opportunities ahead of us, which gets me very excited about our future and I have a strong desire to continue to lead JMI as I've done for the past 17 years."

State Lawmaker Pushes for More Water Conservation Projects
A California lawmaker is taking steps to help the state deal with its growing water needs.
Assemblyman Anthony Rendon is proposing amendments to the Clean and Safe Drinking Water Act of 2014 that would increase funding for above and below ground water storage.
"As an environmentalist, I believe that the threat of increased flash flooding and longer droughts caused by global warming behooves the state to invest heavily in storage as a way to better manage storage and capture excess water," Rendon said.
Under the amendments, such funding would jump from $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion.
Rendon says such storage is going to be critical as California continues to deal with this year's drought and future droughts.
He says the creation of the extra ground water storage facilities will also create thousands of jobs.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I filed a claim against my Property Title Insurer through an attorney. Four months later the Title Company admitted partial exposure and offered a settlement. My attorney waited another month before she sent me the settlement offer. I countered the offer to settle and the Title Insurer asked for more information. I provided it to my attorney with a few weeks of the request. Several more months went by and I told my attorney to either send the information to the Title Company or I would take over my claim. She finally sent it to them and it has now been 8 months since they offered to settle. Now they are looking into ways to reduce their payment including Real Estate Appraisal. It has been a full year since I first filed a claim.

Right, and some are spread by hurricanes. My brother-in-law, who lives in
the Pensacola area, was telling me about a new invasive that came in by
seed from South America spread by one of the last big hurricanes. He
didn't know the name but it takes over all and can only be controlled or
stopped with burning.
In Tennessee, chicory grows along the edges of road pavement, showing that
brilliant blue with the Queen Anne's Lace, daisy, and butterfly weed. The
latest Nonnative Invasive Plants of Southern Forests does not include it
but it is included in my Wildflowers of the Southern Appalachians. I guess
it has been here for so long, was useful, and behaved itself so is not a
threat. The roots were used for a coffee substitute by roasting and
grinding them and the leaves were edible in salad or as cooked greens.
According to my guide, the plant shows some antibacterial properties and is
being tested for lowering heart rates. I have not had success in
transplanting...I think because the root is so long...but have seen it
grown in gardens by using seeds.
The blossoms close up in full-sunlight...used to be used by folks as a
timer for lunch when they worked in the fields...but come out again the
next morning.
Good luck...the color is a beautiful addition to a garden.
