"'John Brown's Body' at San Quentin Prison," a movie about the making of a play inside San Quentin and starring San Quentin prisoners, premiered last October at the Mill Valley Film Festival in northern California just a few miles from the prison itself. I felt honored to be in the audience with five of the former prisoners turned actors and their families present. All of the former prisoners had, at one time, been sentenced to life in prison, but have now been released. In fact, only three pri … [Read more...]

Like I tweeted earlier, Christmas happens to be a big birthday shout out to my Santa Claus: dad. It's appropriate then that Santa Claus is actually Father Noel.
When we were younger, we had a Christmas tree, decorated it with ornaments, wore festive hats and had a jolly time. This year was mellow and a celebration of a different kind.
Since, I didn't get the opportunity to wear my hat, I digitally recreated it on myself and the bestie.
Dress – Platinum Mall, Bangkok | Earrings – Topshop, London | Clutch – Bliss, Mumbai
Around Christmas eve, I was really craving ice cream. Watching shows on television documenting preparation of some of the best ice creams worldwide might have triggered it. Anyway, since I wasn't getting any fancy ice cream, I thought I might as well debut these cutesy earrings. They're just delicious.
Clutch as appears in the photograph on http://blissstore.blogspot.com
I guess the holiday season was just right for me to take my clutch out. I had first spotted it on the Bliss blog. (Click here to view the post) I instantly knew I had to visit this quirky store. Of course, I picked up more than just the clutch. 🙂
Having tried to pair it with so many outfits earlier, I was overjoyed I was carrying the frilly wonder that day. After splitting a pizza with the BFF, I had to head for a dance rehearsal. My ensemble was quite a conversation piece. 😉
What was on your Christmas wish list? What did you wear on Christmas/ Christmas eve? How do you celebrate Christmas and the holidays?

Match Specifications And Records (Dynamically!)
Gordon Guthrie
This How To shows how dynamic match specifications can be built using records.
This approach allows record definitions to be extended by adding new fields, or the order of fields in records to be amended, without affecting the dynamic match specifications.
It works by generating a helper library function at compile time which enables a match_specifications module to introspect the record structure and build dynamic match specs.
The Problem
Records are a great way of making tuples easier to handle - they are the Erlang equivalent of a C struct. The ability to reference an element in a structure without having to know it is the third element is great, but...
...the problem is that sometimes you actually need to know the structure - and the main time is when you want to write match specifications.
There is a 'work around' for writing transforming code that has records in it but which generates valid match specs. This uses the function fun2ms from stdlib (see the documentation [1]).
But the problems with fun2ms is that it can't take a variable so you *can* use it to make writing static match specifications easier but you *can't* use it to generate them dynamically.
You might think the answer is to use fun2ms within an eval but you don't have access to the record definition in an eval so you are snookered there too..
The Solution
The solution is to use the Erlang Preprocessor to parse the .hrl file that has the record definition and output a helper function.
This helper function must be generated everytime the header file is changed as part of the make procedures for you application.
Dynamic match specifications written with the library will then 'just work'!
Working Code
The working code for this How To is appended at the end.
Worked Example
The Record Definition
My .hrl file contains a record definition like this:
%% Test Macros -define(HN_URL1, "http://127.0.0.1:9000"). -define(HN_URL2, "http://127.0.0.1:9001"). -record( index, { site, path, column, row }).
At run time I need to be able to introspect this structure and ask questions like:
- how many fields does record index have?
- where is the field path in record index?
Generating The Helper Function
We use the Erlang preprocesser function to parse the header file:
which produces output like:
{attribute,1,file,{"myheader.hrl",1}}, {attribute,18,record, {index, [{record_field,20,{atom,20,site}}, {record_field,21,{atom,21,path}}, {record_field,22,{atom,22,column}}, {record_field,23,{atom,23,row}}]}}, [...]
We step through this output and generate a helper file which looks like this:
%% This module automatically generated - do not edit %%% This module provides utilities for use in building %%% match specifications from records -module(ms_util2). -export([get_index/2,no_of_fields/1]). no_of_fields(index) -> 4; get_index(index,site)-> 1; get_index(index,path)-> 2; get_index(index,column)-> 3; get_index(index,row)-> 4; get_index(index,F) -> exit({error,"Record: index has no field called "++atom_to_list(F)}).

I believe you will enjoy reading about the Salk Institute's rich history of the last half-century in this anniversary-year issue of Inside Salk. It is a splendid success story that began with a daring idea by our founder, Jonas Salk, and became a reality that today yields vital scientific discoveries for the benefit of mankind.
Much like the Institute's laboratory spaces, which were designed with flexibility in mind by famed American architect Louis Kahn, research at the Salk has undergone organic evolution and expansion as research interests shifted and new technology appeared. At its core, the Salk science story has always been and continues to be about creativity and unwavering curiosity.
This is what drew a small group of brilliant scientists to the West Coast in the early 1960s to join Jonas Salk as founding fellows in what he described as a "crucible of creativity." Over the next 50 years, Jonas' concept was put into remarkable practice.
Today, a highly collaborative environment in which scientists are free to pursue their boundless questions is what defines the Salk Institute and has established it as a much sought-after place to conduct leading basic biological research.
The Institute's intellectually hospitable atmosphere has prompted many of the best minds in science to make the Salk their permanent home. Many of the young scientists who were appointed to the Salk's faculty in the 1970s are still here, still contributing seminal discoveries that are improving our understanding of human health and disease.
Many of the early discoveries you'll read about in the cover story have led to treatments for cancer, depression, heart disease and reproductive disorders. The impact of some of these landmark findings has also been recognized by the greater scientific community - leading in some cases to Nobel Prizes and many other top honors.
Throughout its history, the Salk is also credited with preparing the next generation of exceptional scientists who will contribute tomorrow's discoveries.
The Salk Institute has grown and firmly cemented its superb reputation since four scientists (Renato Dulbecco, Edwin Lennox, Melvin Cohn and Jacob Bronowski) chose to follow Jonas Salk to La Jolla and establish what many today call a "temple of science" in one of the most idyllic locations in the world.
In the next Inside Salk and my next column, I will highlight our most laudable scientific accomplishments, and then close our anniversary year with a look at the very promising future of Salk science. For now, I invite you to learn more about our storied history in the following pages.

Sam Smith & Disclosure Working On Mary J. Blige Album
Listen to Mary J. Blige Radio on iHeartRadio
Sam Smith is teaming up with Mary J. Blige again. The Guardian says the pop newcomer has been collaborating with Mary J on her forthcoming album. The R&B singer spent some time recording in London earlier this year.
The pairing came about after she enlisted Sam's In The Lonely Hour producer for her sessions there. The two also came together for a duet of Sam's hit "Stay With Me," which helped the song gain some traction stateside earlier this summer.
The British paper says Sam helped to write a song called "Therapy" for Mary J's new album. His "Latch" collaborators Disclosure and Emeli Sande were both enlisted as well.
The album is expected out in November.

After a Career Fair, there comes the follow-up. If you made contacts at the fair last Friday, now is the time to send a short acknowledgment of this interaction you shared.
You don't have to be a super hero, but a little etiquette goes a long way to ensure that the job search isn't just a frantic expedition (anyone remember Legend of the Hidden Temple?). This isn't a game show and we don't have to climb through mazes or swing on plastic vines to 'win.' Thankfully, this is the real world and leaving a lasting post-career fair impression is as simple as writing an email.
Here are some tips that will help you set a personal record in follow up email writing:
- Keep it professional. Even if it's an email and you're tempted to put an emoticon. Just don't do it. Also, don't send a thank you note from your phone. Autocorrect is one thing, but even if you spell everything correctly, think of that "sent from my iPhone" message at the bottom. Right—not a good look. A professional tone shows you're serious about the job.
- Send it now! The career fair came and went. If you're the kind of person who sends holiday thank you notes in March, fight your nature before your contacts have forgotten you! Write a note NOW! Besides, being prompt is an integral part of putting your best foot forward. Which brings me to…
- Helping your interviewer remember you. Jog their memories, and perhaps mention a topic of conversation. The first line is a good place to reference where you met and under what circumstances (Career Fair, of course).
- Affirm your interest. Perhaps you were passionate about a certain position the company offered. Mention that again and take the chance to reconnect that with your strengths. Being forward is often expected.
- Wait, there's more? Offering to provide additional information is always helpful to both parties. Maybe you're not writing an email, but in fact a cover letter as part of a job application. If so, then turn here for more information.
Bottom line, if you consider working for and with a professional community after graduation, the Career Fair conversation could be your first person-to-person interaction within this community. The follow up email could be your second, so here's your chance to make it count!

Also for some reason Khan is constantly accused of being cocky but I don't see why people always go on about this. I mean there are much cockier boxers out there. He generally comes across as being quite humble, especially since his defeat.
The way he's reacted to his defeat I think is outstanding. It reveals his true character to be very strong.


text: Reebok Sport Fashion brings style and innovation to women's swimwear. Each piece includes technology that slims the tummy and is made with an antimicrobial material allowing each suit to have better hygienic quality. Some say the key to the popularity of Reebok swimwear is the use of "Xtra Life Lycra" in each piece. This fabric resists most pool chemicals that normally deteriorate swimwear over time. Made of Xtra Life Lycra and nylon, Reebok swimwear offers women a silky soft, comfortable fit that allows them to freely move through the water. Swimwear tops are with anti-bounce features and soft, contoured cups for the support. Most also have a hidden powernet lining to smooth the tummy. There are many different choices when it comes to finding the perfect piece for you. Reebok swimwear offers v-necks, sporty high necks, easy-to-wear universal U-necks and square necks. They are available in many different retro, unique styles as well. Reebok knows different women want different types and different styles. Whether she is swimming or basking in the sun, Reebok swimwear makes her look sexy and feel flirty.

Winterhawks making it a Memorial Cup to remember
The Portland Winterhawks finished up the round robin portion of the MasterCard Memorial Cup with a 4-2 win over the host Saskatoon Blades Wednesday at Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon.
With the victory the Hawks now advance to the semifinal Friday, where they'll take on the winner of tomorrow night's tiebreaker between the Blades and London Knights, champions of the Ontario Hockey League.
After a scoreless first period, the Hawks struck 6:44 into the second when Derrick Pouliot took a shot from the left faceoff circle that beat Saskatoon goaltender Andrey Makarov to make it 1-0. The Blades tied it at the 11:20 mark on a power play goal by Shane McColgan to make it 1-1, which remained the score going into the third.

Das Programm, das sie gerade herunterladen wollen, kann ohne Bedenken auf Ihrem Gerät installiert werden.
* Before exiting walreceiver, ensure all the received WAL is fsync'd to disk
Otherwise the standby server could replay some un-synced WAL, conceivably leading to data corruption if the system crashes just at that point.
* Avoid excess fsync activity in walreceiver
* Make ALTER TABLE revalidate uniqueness and exclusion constraints when needed
This was broken in 9.0 by a change that was intended to suppress revalidation during VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER, but unintentionally affected ALTER TABLE as well.
* Fix EvalPlanQual for UPDATE of an inheritance tree in which the tables are not all alike
Any variation in the table row types (including dropped columns present in only some child tables) would confuse the EvalPlanQual code, leading to misbehavior or even crashes. Since EvalPlanQual is only executed during concurrent updates to the same row, the problem was only seen intermittently.
* Avoid failures when EXPLAIN tries to display a simple-form CASE expression
If the CASE's test expression was a constant, the planner could simplify the CASE into a form that confused the expression-display code, resulting in "unexpected CASE WHEN clause" errors.
* Fix assignment to an array slice that is before the existing range of subscripts
If there was a gap between the newly added subscripts and the first pre-existing subscript, the code miscalculated how many entries needed to be copied from the old array's null bitmap, potentially leading to data corruption or crash.
* Avoid unexpected conversion overflow in planner for very distant date values
The date type supports a wider range of dates than can be represented by the timestamp types, but the planner assumed it could always convert a date to timestamp with impunity.
* Fix PL/Python crash when an array contains null entries
* Remove ecpg's fixed length limit for constants defining an array dimension
* Fix erroneous parsing of tsquery values containing ... & !(subexpression) | ...
Queries containing this combination of operators were not executed correctly. The same error existed in contrib/intarray's query_int type and contrib/ltree's ltxtquery type.
* Fix buffer overrun in contrib/intarray's input function for the query_int type (Apple)
This bug is a security risk since the function's return address could be overwritten. Thanks to Apple Inc's security team for reporting this issue and supplying the fix.
* Fix bug in contrib/seg's GiST picksplit algorithm

Kathryn Portelli worked with the community to design and create personalised ashes vessels which were exhibited together with seven illuminated sculptures.
This project brought together a collection of remarkable sculptures in Australia's first ever exhibition dedicated to vessels made especially to contain the cremated ashes of people and places.
This is a body of work that provokes thought about what it means to represent a life artistically, encompassing eight individually personal objects rich in storytelling detail.
The project launched Sunday November 7 at 2.00pm at TJ Scotts, 5 Piper St Kyneton.
At Fed Square, the ashes vessels were displayed in the BMW Edge, around the walkway facing out towards the Yarra. See the program here: Kyneton program

Kathryn has been professionally trained in ceramics and glass at Chisholm Institute in the 1980s and spent three years working in two commercial studios in Boston USA.
In 2010, Kathryn received the Regional Arts Australia 'Outstanding Achievement' award for her volunteer efforts coordinating the AFTER mural in Kyneton, following the Black Saturday fires of 2009. The AFTER Black Saturday Memorial is an 11 metre mural featuring 280 tiles with inclusions of donated material from fire affected residents and the broader local, interstate and international communities. The project was supported by a $2,500 Arts Quick Response Recovery Fund grant from Arts Victoria and a $10,700 donation from the Helen McPherson-Smith trust.

I'm pretty new to developing exploits and I'm trying the awbo exercises, which can be found at snort.org/vrt/tools/awbo.html ... I've successfully triggered the vulnerability (on the first exercise), which is a SEH overflow...
At my current level of knowledge I'm stuck on 3 points:
1 - The payload I need to jump to is before the SEH overflow
2 - The opcodes to a JUMP SHORT do not work (bad chars I believe...), another problem is that I need to jump over 128 bytes before, so a SHORT won't work
3 - Required opcodes to decode the payload seem to be blocked (x86/alpha_upper), I've also tested the x86/alpha_mixed...
Is there any tool which generates a list of opcodes that I may insert as a payload and analise what are the bad chars?
What about the other issues I've mentioned?
Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

Mount Saint Mary College recognized more than 600 graduates,
three honorary degree recipients, and outgoing president Fr. Kevin
E. Mackin, OFM at its 51st annual commencement ceremony Saturday,
May 17.
A baccalaureate mass began the day, celebrated in the Chapel of
the Most Holy Rosary by Fr. Mackin and Fr. Francis Amodio, O.
Carm., chaplain and director of campus ministry. Graduating seniors
and students of various class years assisted as altar servers,
lectors, and Eucharistic ministers.
Fr. Francis's homily described the college years as "realizing
God is with you on this journey…and what you discovered about
yourself," and commencement as a "culmination of entering and
exiting many doors. Each exit can be seen as a 'loss,' or as an
opportunity for new, exciting, life-giving challenges."
Outdoors, a bagpipe skirl filled the air. James Finn Cotter,
longtime Mount English professor, once again bore the ceremonial
mace, and led a long procession into a tent filed with families and
friends of the graduates.
Fr. Mackin, marking his sixth commencement at the college,
continued his welcoming tradition of inviting the graduating class
to "give yourself a hug" for a job well done.
He encouraged them to continue using their skills of mind and
habits of heart.
"You will not always know the outcome of your good outreach to
your fellow human beings," he said. "So be mindful of life, of your
gifts, of opportunities every moment to make a difference for the
better in the lives of our fellow human beings."
Fr. Mackin added that he felt blessed to have welcomed thousands
of students, and to have given a commencement greeting and
handshake to thousands.
"And now we prepare to depart," he said. "You don't need me to
tell you that you are going forth into changing and challenging
times. But each of us is on a pilgrimage: always in the presence of
an awesome God who wants us to grow in faith."
The graduating students then heard from honorary degrees
recipients Rosanna Scotto, FOX 5 News anchor and anchor of "Good
Day New York"; Robert R. Dyson, chairman and chief executive
officer of The Dyson-Kissner-Moran Corporation; and William J.
Larkin Jr., New York State senator.
Rosanna Scotto began by surveying the graduates, smiling, and
exclaiming, "Good day Hudson Valley!"
Scotto, a member of WNYW-FOX 5 News for nearly three decades,
engages in a wealth of research, writing and reporting. Scotto won
a string of coveted assignments. She also led FOX 5 news to the
forefront in getting Marty Tankleff a new trial, and was granted an
exclusive interview with him in jail. After 17 years of wrongful
imprisonment, Tankleff's conviction was overturned. Scotto has won
three Emmys for anchoring "FOX 5 News at 10" and "Good Day New
York," and is the winner of three Associated Press Awards.
She encouraged the students to take what they have learned at
Mount Saint Mary College and use it make the world a better
"Your stories start right now," Scotto said. "Time is precious
and not to be wasted. There is an urgency to ending poverty,
creating new jobs…and providing education for all. We can all do
great things together."
Robert Dyson thanked Fr. Mackin and the college for honoring
him. "I'm deeply appreciative of receiving this degree," Dyson
He then congratulated Fr. Mackin for his "exceptional
leadership. His many successes on this campus are life-changing for
this institution…He is not only a beloved and respected member of
the college community, but of the greater mid-Hudson
Dyson told the students to seize opportunities as they come,
including doing civil service, volunteering, and taking on
professional challenges.
"Remember, the world is made up and run by those who show up,"
he said. He also urged graduates to be thankful to their families
for supporting them through the years.
The Dyson-Kissner-Moran Corporation was founded by Dyson's
father, Charles H. Dyson in New York City. Robert Dyson owns and
manages private investments such as Dyson Racing in Poughkeepsie.
The businessman, who lives in Millbrook, N.Y., personally garnered
two wins in the Daytona 24 Hour competition. He is also chair of
Health Quest Systems.
In partnership with the New York State Government and other
funders, the Dyson Foundation spearheaded and spent close to $17
million on the Walkway Over the Hudson, which has attracted 1.8
million visitors.
At Mount Saint Mary College, Dyson provides the Dyson Leadership
William Larkin is in his 35th year in the New York State
Legislature, having served in the Assembly from 1979-1990 and State
Senate since 1990, and is Republican Conference Whip. Larkin
resides in Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y. and his district includes parts
of Orange, Rockland and Ulster Counties.
"I stand here before you humbled and thankful for this honor,"
Larkin said. "To each of you who has stood by me on this long
trail, I say, thank you from the bottom of my heart."
He added, "To those of you graduating today, congratulations and
best wishes!"
Larkin told students that when asked where they went to college,
"stand up tall and say, 'I graduated from Mount Saint Mary College,
the best there is.'"
The United States Army veteran with 23 years of active service
asked students to remember those who have fought for American
"Before you go to bed tonight, take a minute to think about the
men and women in the armed forces who serve in harm's way," said
Larkin. "They're there you can enjoy the day and graduate."
The senator established the Purple Heart Hall of Honor in the
Hudson Valley, and spearheaded a nation-wide effort for the Postal
Service to issue the permanent Purple Heart "Forever" stamp.
Also this year, a Faculty Award was presented to Louis P.
Fortunato, professor of accounting, who has served on the faculty
since 1987 and is faculty senate chair. He is a certified public
accountant and chartered global management accountant, with a
practice in Newburgh, N.Y.
With a handshake and a beaming smile from Fr. Mackin, the
candidates excitedly strode across the stage and transitioned from
students to alumni.
Finally, Dr. Albert J. Gruner, chairman of the board, invited
William Kaplan to present a plaque dedicating The People's Garden
to Fr. Mackin.
Fr. Mackin will be stepping down as president of the college in
June. The ceremony marked one of his final public addresses as
president of Mount Saint Mary College. He also plans to speak at
the college's upcoming Golf/Tennis Invitational Tournaments.
The 2013-2014 yearbook is dedicated to Fr. Mackin, as a "devoted
leader and mentor…his leadership has made a mark on each of the
students of Mount Saint Mary College," wrote student body president
Mary Bocskocsky of Mohegan Lake, N.Y.
The Literary Society also dedicated its publication to Fr.
Mackin. New graduate Megan Capurso of Mahopac, N.Y. said that Fr.
Mackin "has devoted his life to God, education, and the people he
comes in contact with, particularly the students." She added,
"While many know Fr. Kevin because of his lecturing skills, his
ability to fundraise, and the vast academic accomplishments he has
earned, the majority of students lovingly know him [for his] 'put
your left hand on your right shoulder; your right hand on your left
shoulder" hug when they graduated."
Under Fr. Mackin's direction, the Mount successfully completed
the campaign for the Kaplan Family Mathematics, Science, and
Technology Center and nursing laboratories; purchased the Dominican
Center; and launched "A Call to Excellence: The Campaign for the
Dominican Center" in 2012, to raise $10 million for the
transformation to a new, truly state-of-the-art library and
living-learning environment.
In the days leading up to commencement, events provided for the
graduating class included housing in the Dominican Center and the
"Life After College" brunch, which featured useful tips from the
Mount's Career Center.
The college's newest initiatives include a fully online RN to BS
degree, an interdisciplinary major in technology and digital media,
and a new sports management concentration.
Ranked a Top-Tier Regional University by U.S. News & World
Report, Mount Saint Mary College offers strong career preparation
in health professions, education, business, psychology and social
services, and liberal arts.

General Assembly/3C: Statement by Ambassador Wittig at the presentation of the draft resolution on "National Institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights"
(as delivered:)
"Mr President,
I have the honor to introduce Resolution A/C.3/68/L50 on "National Institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights". This resolution is presented by Germany every other year. Further to the countries listed on the L.document, the following countries have joined the list of co-sponsors: Armenia, Belgium, Georgia, Latvia, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Romania, Spain and the UK.
We would like to thank the Secretary General for his most recent report on national Institutions that gives us an overview over developments in the international human rights system, especially with regard to the National Human Rights Institutions since the adoption of the last resolution on the subject.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Australia as the main sponsor of the resolution on National Human Rights Institutions in the Human Rights Council from whom we also took inspiration for the draft resolution before us.
The main goal of this resolution is to underline the crucial role that National human rights Institutions do play in the promotion and protection of human rights at home. But it also stresses the important role of these Institutions in the international human rights protection system, especially in the Human Rights Council, its Universal Periodic Review mechanism, the Special procedures as well as the human rights treaty bodies. This resolution should also serve as a reminder that for National Institutions to play their role accordingly, they need to act independently as laid down in the so-called "Paris principles", adopted by the General Assembly at its 48th session.
Mr. President,
The present draft resolution seeks to keep pace with developments around National Human Rights Institutions that may have an impact on their functioning, and also provide for new challenges but also for new opportunities for positive action.
In recent years we have witnessed a growing phenomenon known as "shrinking human rights space". First, NGO´s and human rights defenders are confronted with new legislation/administrative regulations that make it difficult, if not impossible for them to continue their human rights activities.
Another phenomenon, known unfortunately already for some time, is the problem of reprisals that human rights defender might suffer in the follow-up of their cooperation with international or regional Human Rights Institutions.
And a third development in this vein is the observation that even members and staff of National Human Rights Institutions might suffer from reprisals or intimidation when working to fulfill the mandate given to their Institution.
The report of the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders to the 22nd session of the Human Rights Council describes this situation in more detail and provides a number of very relevant recommendations. The draft resolution takes up some of these recommendations.
Mr. President,
At the beginning we have underlined the important role that National Human Rights Institutions do already play in particular in the Human Rights Council, based on practices and arrangements that have emerged over the years. In the reports of the Secretary General on National Human Rights Institutions, a growing number of successful participation of National Human Rights Institutions in the work of the United Nations also in New York is mentioned. Nevertheless, the participation of these Institutions so far seems to be either accidental and in any case nothing that can be repeated in similar circumstances. We would therefore like to ask the Secretary General in his next report to the General Assembly to take stock of the level and forms of the current participation of the National Institutions in the work of the GAand to explore ways to enable the Institutions to participate independently in relevant United Nations mechanisms and processes in accordance with their mandates.
We would like to thank all delegations that have participated in a constructive and open way in the negotiations so far. We invite all delegations to continue our discussion and we hope that these will lead to a consensus text. We further hope that traditional supporters as well as all other states will consider cosponsoring this initiative again this year.
Thank you, Mr. President."

DAVID Meacock has been chosen as UKIP's prospective Parliamentary candidate for Wycombe in next year's General Election.
Currently the ward councillor for Chalfont Common with Chiltern District Council, he was selected to stand for Parliament in a poll of UKIP Wycombe's members on Monday.
Cllr Meacock defected from the Conservatives to join what he called 'the people's party' last year after becoming disillusioned with the Tories.
He said he defected because of what he called Chiltern councillors' 'ineffective opposition' to HS2, and because of Westminster's continuing debt problems and the introduction of the gay marriage bill.
Cllr Meacock was elected to the new UKIP Councillors Association earlier this year after organising party leader Nigel Farage's visit to Amersham, Beaconsfield and Chalfont St Peter.
He said: "It has been a great honour to be chosen to be UKIP's prospective Parliamentary candidate for the Wycombe constituency, and to give the people of Wycombe an opportunity to vote for the people's party, UKIP.
"UKIP is the only party which will free us all from the shackles of 75 per cent of our laws and regulations being made in Brussels – which is why, frankly, there is barely a cigarette paper between the three tired old EU-loving and compliant parties.
"UKIP's truly phenomenal rise since the 2010 General Election to nearly a third of the vote and the second party in last May's Bucks County Council elections, in only three years, has not been matched by any new political party in the past."
He added: "I hope Out of the EU to trade with the world, especially Commonwealth countries – a world market so big that the sun never sets on it – will resonate with Wycombe voters."
UKIP Wycombe Chairman Brian Mapletoft added: "I hope constituents will rally behind David and support a truly local candidate who has lived in Bucks since the age of three."
He added members would start their campaign for the European elections over the next six weeks.

Atelier Versace Spring 2014 Couture
"What do you want to wear this spring?" "What do you want to wear this season?" We quote the question posed by a young lady of Italian origins, Stefani Germanotta, at the Atelier Versace couture show. That's Lady Gaga, of course, whose glorifying song "Donatella" from her album Artpop was pounding out, with its fabulous thumbnail-portrait of an intro—"I'm blonde, I'm skinny . . . and I'm a little bit of a bitch"—at the start of DV's spring couture collection.
And the answer to Gaga's lyrical wardrobe query? As far as she was concerned, for her front-row appearance (and her backstage poses for paparazzi, hand-in-hand with Donatella) it was a slinky black goddess dress with a generous train, a cutout back, a plunging front with a view into an inner corseted infrastructure, and a draped hood. Gaga sat, complete with her immaculately-waved, cascading fall of Donatella blonde hair, chatting with Mario Testino, as the show progressed. (She's the model in the Versace spring advertising campaign, too, as you might have noticed.)
The mutual admiration society between music and fashion might appear to be the very latest thing to fans of hip-hop, familiar with such works as Jay Z's "Tom Ford" and Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's "Fashion Killa," in which they achieved a record of listing 25 fashion brands in one track. It was Donatella Versace, though, who invented and cemented the relationship in the first place. Right back in the 1980s, it was she who welcomed every megarocker and pop star worth knowing into the house her brother Gianni built. From there on, she's never seen a reason to stop—and especially not this season.
Diva-dressing, inspired by Grace Jones, was her starting point, which brought about the hoods, the corseted torsos, and all the glamazonian draping that powered along the runway to Gaga's soundtrack. There were purple furs, inserted with glinting seams, bold, black tattoo-embroideries on nude tulle, art-deco patterned crystals tracing shoulders, and flanks of bodycon suits and dresses. Say what you like: DV is one woman who never wavers from being true to herself.

By Lesli Nolen
Published October 2011
It was four months ago when I wrote about the fires that were burning in and around the San Angelo area. Five inches of rain later and the hottest months (June-August) on record, the Lone Star State is still burning. In the past week, 480 wildfires have consumed nearly 180,000 acres of land in Texas, according to the Texas A&M University System.
But even more important I think we are in a spiritual drought. As I continue to pray for rain I pray for our nation, our state and our city. I pray that people will realize the need for God is now. We live in a society of immoral standards and we wonder why our land is burning.
2 Chronicles 7:14 says, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
I hear people reciting this verse all the time. This verse is so often spoken that I think people just say it and forget about what it is that God is telling us to do. Just because you say it doesn't mean it will happen. Verses in the Bible are not spoken like a magic spell. They are guidelines of how we should live our life.
I noticed this verse being posted and recited more and more every day. So I studied it, prayed about it and was sucker punched right away. I have a new perspective on this verse after discovering what it is that I'm not doing. So I decided to break it down a little and hopeful we will put this powerful verse into action and not just recite the words again.
The verse begins with, "my people, which are called by my name" refers to those of us who personally have a relationship with him. He is not talking to the atheists of the world. He is speaking to his children; those who call him by name. We are the ones He calls on to carry out his plans on Earth. We are to humble ourselves, to pray and to seek His face.
It is easy to say this prayer and think we already do all that. But do we truly know what it means to humble ourselves, pray, and seek His face.
The definition of humble is having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance (adjective) and lower (someone) in dignity or importance (verb). It is an action. We must change the way we live our lives and then and only then will God do what he says he will do. We must set aside what we want and ask God what He wants. Selfish pride is big in our society. It is a lot easier said than done. Once we humble ourselves, we must pray. I think most of the world today just hopes the rest of the world will clean up their act and everything will be okay. But it doesn't work that way. Prayer is the second action we must do and do it every day all day. Thirdly, we must seek His face. The definition of seek is attempt to find something (verb) and attempt or desire to obtain or achieve something. Remember the game, hide and seek. We have to look for him and his will in our life. We can't sit here waiting for him to always come to us.
The fourth action we must take is to turn from our wicked ways. We have to turn from anything that is un-Godly, that is what wicked means. Anything we do outside of God's will is wicked. That is such a huge statement, because as Isaiah 55:8 states, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD."
So when we pray the prayer of 2 Chronicles 7:14, we must remember that the context of this verse is past-tense. God is speaking to Solomon just after the completion of the Temple. Because the people, after they had already endured droughts, plagues and disease (sound familiar) humbled themselves and turned from their wicked ways and began seeking God's face, He heard their cry and restored them as a nation. Aren't we crying out and wondering why God is doing this? Maybe because we aren't doing what he has asked of us.
Christian singer Michael Card wrote and sang a song titled, "Heal Our Land," straight from 2 Chronicles 7:14.
First verse:
"Forgive, Oh Lord, and heal our land, and give us eyes to seek your face and hearts to understand, that you alone make all things new. And the blessings of the land we love are really gifts from you."
Second verse:
"Unite our hearts, in one accord, and make us hungry for your peace, and burdened for the poor; and grant us hope, that we might see, the future of the land we love, our life, our liberty."
"If my people will humble pray, and seek my face and turn away from all their wicked ways, then I will hear them, and move my hand; and freely then will I forgive, and I will heal their land."
I think this song sums it up nicely. If we will remove our pride and our selfish actions, love one another as Christ loves us, and follow his will, he will mend the factures of his land. Our land, not necessarily being the ground we walk on but our hearts, what we truly stand on. Our land, land that has been burned and sometimes has to be destroyed before we appreciate it and are able to start all over.
Remember, God needs no help from us. We are the ones that need help from Him.

Billing Rates: The attached schedule of Initial and Discontinued billing rates will be effective for OPM's reimbursable investigative services beginning October 1, 2004. These rates should remain in effect until September 30, 2005. Although we are experiencing increased costs in the areas of contractor fees, information technology, and overall operating costs related to the Consumer Price Index, we have been able to limit the price increases for this year to approximately four percent (4%).
In addition to our background investigations, we also offer numerous special investigative services which are described and priced in Federal Investigations Notice 04-05 titled "Special Agreement Price Schedule." These products are used by agencies that want to obtain single or multiple record checks for use in pre-screening candidates as well as other agency purposes. We encourage you to contact your Investigations Program Specialist to discuss how we may be able to meet your investigative needs with these products.
Timeliness Service Categorization: Substantial increases in workloads and national priorities continue to present us with extraordinary challenges. Last year we replaced traditional 35, 75, and 120 day service level designations with PRIORITY, ACCELERATED, and STANDARD service level designations for the fieldwork products. A review of this past year's processing and timeliness performance does not support continuance of this model.
Beginning October 1, 2004, we will offer only PRIORITY and STANDARD case service levels for the fieldwork products.
Investigations at each service level will be scheduled promptly upon receipt by OPM. Critical elements of each investigation, including the national fingerprint-based criminal history check and the national credit search, will typically be completed within 24 hours of scheduling. OPM will continue to offer Advance National Agency Checks (NACs) for both service levels at no additional charge. Timeliness for Advance NACs will depend on the availability of other agency records.
For field investigations, PRIORITY (service level "A") cases, for which agencies pay a processing premium, will be expedited and will receive our highest priority. These will generally be investigations for critical new-hires or initial clearance requests. All other investigations should be designated STANDARD (service level "C") for the Single Scope Background Investigations (SSBI) and STANDARD (service level "F") for the Periodic Reinvestigations for SSBI. These cases will be processed in accordance with normal workload management policies and any new-hire investigations or initial clearance requests among them will be given priority over reinvestigations as resources allow. No premium will be assessed for these investigations. Service level "D" will continue to signify a request to reopen a previously closed investigation of any type.
Case service level "B" is no longer a valid investigation service code for the SSBI. Any investigations submitted using case service level "B" will be recoded to case service level "C" during the initial review process and will be worked in accordance with service level "C" processing guidelines as described above. Agencies will not be billed the premium price previously associated with service level "B" but will be billed the standard service level "C" case cost.
Case service level "B" and "C" are not valid investigation service codes for the SSBI-PR. Any investigations submitted using case service level "B" or "C" will be recoded to case service level "F" during the initial review process, and will be worked in accordance with STANDARD service level processing guidelines as described above. Agencies will be billed the standard service level "F" case cost.
Continue to enter the appropriate 3-character code in Block A of the AGENCY USE ONLY area of the SF 85, SF 85P, and SF 86. The first two characters are for the type of investigative product requested followed by the one character service code as follows:
Code "A" will stand for PRIORITY Service; Code "B/C" will stand for STANDARD Service for all but SSBI-PR investigations; Code "D" will stand for REOPEN Service for all investigation types; and Code "F" will stand for STANDARD service for SSBI-PR investigations.
The chart below summarizes the new case processing levels:
Type of Investigation
Priority Service
Standard Service
Reopen Service
We remain committed to providing quality investigations in a timely, cost effective manner and will work towards restoring the timeliness that our customers expect. In FY 2004, OPM awarded five additional contracts for field investigative support, and we will be working with these contract companies to increase the national investigative capacity to meet the current demand. Until that can be accomplished, OPM will use the posted service levels to prioritize investigations to best meet national priorities.
For additional information concerning these services or additional investigative coverage, contact your OPM Investigations Program Specialist at (202) 606-1042.

When did you toilet train your child?
I have two younger children that are not toilet trained yet. The baby is too young, and my youngest daughter does not seem interested. I was reading this article about toilet training in one day, and I think it is interesting. I have never tried using a doll that wets itself during the toilet training phase. I also agree that a lot of praise and acknowledgment is important.
We found that each of our children are very different, and what works for one may not work for another. My son trained easily and it seemed to happen in one day, but that was after I learned to back off a bit and let him decide when to go. My oldest daughter was not interested at all, and she refused to use the toilet for a long time. What finally worked for her was to use a sticker chart, which she found wonderful. She loved getting to pick out new stickers and add a cute sticker to the chart.
When did you toilet train your child(ren)? Do you have any tips for toilet training?

Potty Training Tips
I trained my first child when she had just turned 3. I think she was probably ready a little earlier but I hadn't potty trained before so I didn't really know what to look for. However, after talking to another mom (and learning lots of tips) I decided to give it a go... and she trained in one day (day and night).
My second child is a boy and he trained in about one day, but only for the daytime. Nighttime he continued to have accidents for about 3 weeks.
I can't remember about the others except that my 5th child seemed ready around 2 1/2 years, so earlier than the others.
I made it a practice to not try to potty train until 3 years of age or until they gave lots of signs that they were interested and ready. To me, trying to potty train too early only resulted in accidents and frustration. Plus, I found it easier to just keep them in a diaper or pull-ups when running errands rather than trying to find a bathroom (with other children in tow).
The way I potty train is to set up an area in the kitchen (on a hard floor surface that can be easily cleaned). I have lots of different kinds of juices (to keep their interest) and juice popsicles.
I placed a potty chair in the same room and put out puzzles or playdough or activities that they could do at the table. Then I let them run around with just a shirt on. This sets the scene for a child having to urinate within a short time (you don't want this to take hours). I'd tell them that as soon as they felt like they needed to go, that they should quickly to to the potty chair (or bathroom if you have one right off of your training area).
If they started to wet while playing, they'd usually let me know in some way, and I'd quickly help them to the potty chair where they could either finish or just sit for a moment. Then I'd clean up their mess without scolding and encourage them that the next time they needed to go, they should go on the potty chair.
Again - if they were ready, this worked great. If they weren't then I could tell within about an hour, and I'd just try again when they showed signs of readiness.
At night I had a nice, fabric mat that holds 6 cups of liquid. I would put this on their bed and I'd put a fresh change of clothes in easy reach for them. If they wet at night, they would just remove the wet mat and change into their dry clothes for the rest of the night.
Some children took longer to train at night than others but eventually they all trained in their own time, and having it so that they could change out of their wet clothes by themselves meant more sleep for mom

I have twin boys and I decided they were ready to be trained when they were just a little over two years old. If you notice I said that I thought they were ready to be potty trained. Needless to say I learned fairly quickly that it couldn't be done on my schedule I had to be patient and ready observe them so I would know when they were ready. I left their potty seats out so they could see them and sometimes we would take "teddy" to the toilet. I got some children's book about potty training that I read to them and shortly after their 3rd birthday we tried again.
I have learned that having twins does not mean they do everything the same. In fact, my boys are very different and potty training was no exception but they were both pretty well potty trained within a couple of weeks. We are still working on nights but their paediatrician said not to worry. So, for now I'm not I may actually try the fabric pad idea that you mentioned Kate. Where did you find one?
We did a small rewards system. Basically just a potty chart with stickers and provided a lot of clapping and encouragement I didn't need to use it for too long since they trained fairly quickly.

This looks like the type of fabric pad we used. http://www.amazon.com/Soaker-Mattres.../dp/B0001YIB1A
I had two of them and my children could even take the wet one off and put the dry one on (without tucking it in, of course).
Two of my children had accidents until they were 8 years old - each child has their own personal time table

My husband and I begin training our oldest two (who are now four and six) when they showed interest, a little past the age of two years. I have a friend who has had two using the potty on their own by fourteen months, she used elimination communication (ec) with great success. I kind of want to try this with my youngest, but I am afraid she is too old to start now (11 months). Anyone else have experience with EC?

Kate ~ Thanks so much for the link and for letting me know how old your kids were when they stayed dry through the night. For some reason I had in my mind that they should have this accomplished by age 5 but as I said, their paeditrician told me not to worry that it all depends on their growth and bladder size
Thanks again!!!

The fabric pad from Amazon looks like a great idea 5Homebirths4Kate. I noticed that they don't deliver to Australia - I found this Australian online store Conni Kids - solutions for bedwetting and toilet training. They look like they've got some great products.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A terrible outing might have earned Stephen Strasburg an additional start.
Strasburg matched his career low by lasting only three innings, allowing five runs Friday night in the Washington Nationals' 9-7, 10-inning loss to the Miami Marlins.
''To be honest with you, I think he just is thinking too much about the decision when we're going to shut him down,'' Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. ''And he kind of wore it. He didn't like it. But that's the way it is.''
Strasburg, 15-6 with a 3.16 ERA, allowed two runs in the first, one in the second and two in the third, giving up six hits - including home runs to Giancarlo Stanton and Rob Brantly. He threw 67 pitches and was pinch hit for in the third.
In his first full season following elbow-ligament replacement surgery on Sept. 3, 2010, Strasburg has 197 strikeouts in 159 1-3 innings.
''I didn't command the fastball, kept on getting behind in the counts,'' Strasburg said. ''I wasn't able to use my other pitches effectively and they kept teeing off on me a little bit.''
The Nationals, wanting to protect the arm of the 24-year-old right-hander, had said next Wednesday's start at the New York Mets likely will be his final appearance of the season, even though Washington is likely to see postseason baseball for the first time since the original Senators in 1933.
Johnson gave a cryptic answer when asked whether the short outing could prolong Strasburg's season.
''It might,'' Johnson said without elaborating.
Strasburg wouldn't comment on Johnson's curious answer.
''I'm going to focus on the next start,'' the pitcher said.
Johnson said Strasburg may be distracted by the shutdown talk.
''I can understand where he's at,'' he said. ''And even in the conversations that I've had with him, he was having trouble sleeping, thinking about letting the guys down. So I understand his mood.''
Jose Reyes tripled twice and drove in three runs for the Marlins, including a two-run triple in the 10th off Tyler Clippard (2-4) that made a winner of Chad Gaudin (3-1). Washington, which has the best record in the major leagues, lost for only the second time in 10 games.
Strasburg received a lengthy standing ovation from fans as he jogged out to the mound for what turned into a 23-pitch first inning.
Strasburg walked leadoff hitter Bryan Petersen, then got ahead of Reyes on an 0-2 count only to allow a single. Stanton singled down to third-base line to drive in a run, and Carlos Lee hit a sacrifice fly for a 2-0 lead.
Ryan Zimmerman tied the score with a two-run homer off Jacob Turner in the bottom half, but Brantly homered with one out in the bottom half for a 3-2 lead.
Stanton hit his 31st homer in the third - only the fourth two-homer game against Strasburg this season - and Donovan Solano singled in a run for a 5-2 lead.
''Maybe we're not trying to do too much,'' Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen about his team's recent success against one of the game's best pitchers. ''We swing at strikes. We make him throw strikes the last couple of games because we're not chasing bad pitches.''
Reyes tripled in a run off Zach Duke in the fourth.
''Tough game,'' Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki said. ''They put some good passes on the ball. There was nothing we could really do. It just felt like everything we threw up there they hit. Sometimes it goes like that.''
Washington closed in the seventh on back-to-back RBI doubles by Danny Espinosa and Kurt Suzuki off Carlos Zambrano, who didn't get an out, and a run-scoring error by second baseman Donovan Solano on pinch-hitter Steve Lombardozzi's infield single. And Michael Morse tied the score 6-6 with an eighth-inning homer off A.J. Ramos.
Reyes' second triple and Lee's second sacrifice fly built a 9-6 lead in the 10th. Morse singled in a run in the bottom half off Steve Cishek, who got his 13th save in 17 chances by striking out pinch-hitter Roger Bernadina and Jayson Werth to end the game with the bases loaded.
NOTES: Turner, acquired with Brantly from Detroit on July 23, allowed two runs and six hits over six innings. ... In 18 career games at Nationals Park, Stanton is batting .394 with nine HR and 18 RBIs. ... Zimmerman, who also tripled, extended his hitting streak to 12 games. ... Before the game, Washington honored the organization's player and pitcher of the year. 3b Matt Skole had 27 homers and 92 RBIs for Class A Hagerstown. RHP Nathan Karns went 11-4 with a 2.17 ERA in 24 games. ... Miami's Mark Buehrle faces fellow LHP Ross Detwiler on Saturday.

Joyful Bath Co Bath Soap Relaxing Oatsy Floatsie hydrates and heals the skin while lavender quiets and lulls the mind.Benefits of Taking a Bath Five Benefits of Taking a Hot Bath—Soak 10 minutes, or more if you'd like! Helps relax muscles—Take a hot bath with mineral-rich bath salts containing Dead Sea and/or Epsom salts, not just sea salt. The magnesium, sulfate and potassium in Dead Sea and Epsom salts are absorbed through the skin and help reduce inflammation that causes sore and stiff muscles. The hot water warms your muscles helping them loosen and relax. Provides aromatherapy—Using a natural bath product scented with pure essential oils helps you relax, uplift mood or recharge depending on the specific essential oil. Products scented with "fragrance" or "perfume" contain synthetic fragrance and don't provide this aromatherapy benefit. Lavender essential oil and real vanilla are calming and relaxing scents. Grapefruit and peppermint essential oils help uplift your mood. Helps promote a good night's sleep—After you take a hot bath, your body temperature drops helping to prepare you for the sleep state. Body temperature is lower when sleeping so creating that "sleep signal" can help promote a good night's sleep. Getting a good night's sleep helps you manage stress and stay healthy. Natural bath salts that contain lavender essential oil or real vanilla are calming and relaxing. Helps release toxins caused by stress, etc—Fill the tub only half way with water, enough to cover your sides when you lie back in the tub. Your belly, chest and top of legs will be exposed to the air. Skin breathes so your pores, uncovered by water and opened from the heat, can release toxins helping you maintain general wellness. Natural bath salts that contain ginger root powder or ground yellow mustard seed in addition to Dead Sea, Epsom and sea salts are especially good for detoxing. Provides quiet, meditative time—Taking a hot bath takes you to a place away from your To-Do list. Slide down into the tub and take deep breaths, breathing in and out slowly to the count of three. Three counts in, three counts out, repeat a few times. Let you mind and body rest. Note: Best to use all natural products in your bath. Products that contain synthetic fragrance, perfume or bubbles can irritate and throw off a woman's "feminine balance." Use products that contain salts since they are naturally anti-bacterial and typically aren't irritating. Welcome to Joyful Bath Co Natural Bath Products From the Land and Sea Joyful Bath Co signature Bath Salts and Handmade Botanical Soaps blend the healing elements of the land and the sea with bathing rituals and remedies from around the world. Natural ingredients including mineral-rich salts from the Mediterranean and Dead Seas; and organic extra virgin olive, palm and coconut oils mix with honey, buttermilk, ginger root, green tea, oats, coconut milk and pure essential oils.

Joyful bath Co would like to make your life a little more joyful and a little less complicated with the simple joy of a bath. Rochel Roland is the Chief Bath Mixologist and founder of Joyful Bath Co. Taking a bath is one of her favorite things to do along with short track speed skating, walking her dog, eating, sleeping and concocting. She has always had a passion for organic, tactile processes–makes me feel alive and good inside. In kindergarten Rochel collected rocks, leaves and other treasures in a Band-Aid tin and used my cool metal chemistry kit to see what she could create. As she got older, she traded in my chemistry set for a camera and nurtured a passion for photography. Rochel was amazed by the process of mixing the chemicals and watching the images appear on paper, seemingly out of nowhere. And as an art major in college, she created sculptures using clays and glazes that she made from spending hours testing various combinations of clays and minerals, some that she dug from the earth herself. After graduation Rochel started her professional photography career, but ten years later, she still longed to mix and create, and at night pursued a Masters in agronomy—soil science—the study of the clays, minerals and elements found in soil. During that time she started every morning with one of her favorite things, a bath. Unhappy with the bath products she found on the market, made with too much fragrance, oily residue and filled with unnatural chemicals, it came to her...why not mix clean, organic salts and essential oils and make her bath potions? So after an enjoyable twenty-year career in the advertising and corporate photo biz,she took her passion for mixing and creating, her love of baths and her experience in business and combined them all into the ultimate concoction. And the Joyful Bath Co came to be!

How R.T.s Can Increase Their Job Market Value
March 15, 2013
By Joyce Routson,
How can a radiographer add another credential? More than one specialty makes you more marketable
In a difficult job market, recruiters and hiring managers say the best way
radiologic technologists
can set themselves apart from other applicants is to have a second credential. But what is the best way to go about getting one?
Experts say the way to approach the problem is to think ahead – when applying for work and choosing a school. Some planning before you embark on your career path can pay dividends down the road.
The primary pathway (entry-level) to a radiologic technologist career is a credential in radiography, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine technology, magnetic resonance imaging, or sonography. Post-primary certifications, as defined by the
American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT)
, include mammography, computed tomography (CT), bone densitometry, cardiac interventional radiography, vascular interventional radiography and vascular sonography.
Some employers, for instance, like to see candidates have both a CT and MR credential. An R.T. with an MR (primary) credential must take additional course work post-primary for the CT one.
"It does help improve employment opportunities to have multi credentials behind you," says Kevin Powers, director of education for the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (
But Powers admits the process for R.T.s to gain additional education leading to a credential can be "hit and miss." Some hospitals have extensive education and training programs (in house or tuition reimbursement) while others do not. Some community colleges offer professional development pathways for technologists to continue their education while others are more limited.
"Employers do reap the benefits of helping technologists become multi-credentialed, but it's not as prevalent as it once was," says Powers of in-house training. Some hospitals and other organizations don't have the staff or they are already running lean and can't devote personnel to run the program.
Community colleges may be suffering from budget cutbacks, lack instructors, or have waiting lists for classes. Or they may only offer the academic portion of what is needed for a credential.
That's why it is important to research where you can gain your initial experience and whether the employer has a training department or workforce development program. For instance, a teaching hospital may be more likely to have on-the-job training. And a four-year college program usually promises graduates more than one credential.
"Folks that are aggressive in making those inquiries and seeking out those possible options, or letting their employers know what their needs are" will benefit, Powers says. He also advises technologists to be creative and flexible.
Most managers will listen if you tell them "here's what's in it for you. If you bring something to the table it makes a manager's decision easier." Tell a manager you're willing to come in after hours to gain clinical experience, for instance, Powers says.
One hospital that has a robust workforce development program for its employees is Brigham and Women's in Boston. The program – which gives employees grants for courses at an affiliated community college – gives R.T.s "a leg up when opportunities do arise," says Michael DelVecchio, BS, R.T.(R), FASRT, and technical director for the radiology department there.
He emphasizes that the coursework must be done on the employee's own time and completion does not "guarantee they get a job right away in that modality." And he adds that candidates for the scholarships are chosen by a committee that looks at past job performance, attendance, and managers' recommendations. "It gives them opportunities to expand their careers and knowledge," he says. He adds: "We try to help them achieve that – our profession needs people who are committed."
DelVecchio says that the hospital benefits by having knowledgeable, trained employees. "It's having the succession plan – not having a gap. It's keeping (good employees) within the hospital."
Powers agrees that profession needs people who want to expand their careers into leadership positions, which means an educated workforce. In fact, the ARRT is taking a step toward ensuring that by requiring as of Jan. 1, 2015, that all candidates for a primary pathway certification must have earned an academic degree (two- or four-year) degree.
Powers says the baby boomers in the profession are starting to retire and the number of workers in the generation behind them is starting to decline. New professionals from the millennial generation will be needed to replace them. They need a well-rounded resume and broad experience now.
"The message is that they need to be prepared to assume leadership positions at a point far earlier than any other generation of technologists. They need to start thinking about themselves as decision-makers," he says.
