Meet some of our recent alumni and hear what they have to say about their graduate experience at Grand View.
Here, John Neldeberg and Peter Kiernan, both 2011 business graduates, share a theory.
Peter Kiernan decided to pursue a graduate education after a discussion of career path planning at his employer, John Deere. He saw an opportunity to advance his level of education, communication skills and credentials, for both his career and personal growth goals. Peter has a long tradition with Grand View. He graduated with a double major in Accounting and Business Administration in 1994 and graduated again in 2010 with his mater's degree. He serves on President Henning's Advisory Council.
"I looked at Grand View's program because I wanted to focus on improving my leadership skills and to gain an understanding of the dynamics of leadership. After looking at Grand View's curriculum, a traditional MBA would not meet this objective. I was interested in expanding my knowledge in areas other than business. Since my undergraduate degree from Grand View was in Business and Accounting, this prepared me and has provided me a very successful career with John Deere."
Peter has worked for John Deere for the past twelve years and is currently a pricing analyst in the Intelligent Vehicle Solutions Division. They develop and manufacture satellite technology to provide combines and tractors field solutions of yield mapping and hands-free steering. Peter was raised on a farm south of Des Moines that has been in his family since 1855. Today he farms southeast of Des Moines, which allows him to stay current with farming practices, technologies, and marketing of commodities. So he was also looking for a graduate program with plenty of flexibility to match his busy schedule.
"I was really impressed with the caliber of the subject matter and the professors at Grand View. This was a tremendous learning opportunity, and I also had a great time. The interdisciplinary nature of the program means classes have a great mix of students, a very diverse group with different perspectives and personal experiences. That matters because leaders will not always be interacting with the same type of people in one area at the same time.
"I encourage those contemplating graduate study to look at their own career and personal goals, their strengths and areas where there is room for improvement. Then look at what Grand View offers to meet these goals. My great grandfather used to say, your life is what you make of it; Grand View has definitely prepared the foundation to allow me to not only set goals but to obtain them."
After working as a substitute teacher for several local school districts, Tawnia Cummings began teaching Advanced Composition at Knoxville High School fulltime. She's convinced that among the reasons she was hired were her graduate experience and her desire to enhance her career. When asked why she chose to return to school, she says, "I'd been wanting to return to school, not only for career advancement, but also because I always enjoyed working with others toward a common goal that was not particularly work-related."
Tawnia had been looking at various educational master's programs at Drake and ISU, among others. When her husband happened to mention that Grand View offers a master's program, she spent time on the Grand View website, researching the details of the degree. "When I discovered that it met once a week and involved students from multiple disciplines, I applied immediately."
Tawnia says the program is perfect for working adults with families. "I got married during the first semester, and I was able to keep up with the class work. I will say that the reading load is very heavy, and I devoted many Sunday and Monday nights toward reading, but it is not impossible. I've learned a lot about group work, management, and leadership, which is why I wanted to receive my master's in Leadership, and I'm excited to learn more about educational leadership."
Her advice to others who are thinking about graduate school: "Take a good look at your goals and determine if graduate school will help you accomplish those goals. Graduate school isn't for those who don't have defined career goals. Also, Innovative Leadership is great for people who are looking for a multi-discipline approach to their graduate education, which is great for gaining perspective.
"Even if your employer doesn't pay for graduate school, it's very easy to get financial aid to pay for your graduate education, so don't hesitate because you think you can't afford it. Grand View is very reasonably priced, and the 21-month timeline is approachable for anyone looking to learn more about leadership, research, and workplace dynamics."
The first five years of my career was spent teaching Literacy at a middle school that was both Persistently Low Achieving as well as a School in Need of Assistance according to the government. Quite a few students I had through these years dealt with issues that acted as a barrier to their education. Sometimes it was a learning or behavior disability and other times it was because English was their second language. For many, their home life was not what we as teachers hoped it would be. My colleagues and I had to use the hour per day we saw each of our 108 students the best we knew how. I always knew that I would obtain my master's degree; I just didn't think it would be so early in my teaching career. When I saw how much my students needed, I decided to go to graduate school. I had to improve my craft and dig in to the latest research so that my students got the best education in Literacy they possibly could during the time they were with me.
As soon as I learned that Grand View University had a Master's in Education program, I decided that is where I would go when the time came due to the great experience I had there while obtaining my bachelor's degree. As I dug in to the details, I saw that the master's program was the perfect fit for me not only as an educator who wanted to make a major impact on my students, but also as a working wife and mother of two with one on the way. We met one night a week from 5:00PM to 10:00PM with a few tweaks to the schedule here and there. This was perfect for my family because it was consistent.
Although the schedule and staff were amazing, the comradery that developed with my cohort was second to none. We became a support system for each other and, eventually, great friends. Working with people who genuinely care about each other made the work we were doing that much better, because we challenged each other and called each other out when we weren't where we needed to be, whether it was our attitude, a small assignment or the topic of our Capstone Project.
I suggest that anyone getting his or her master's degree in education look at Grand View University as the top contender. The work you do there will directly benefit your students from day one, and your craft will improve due to the professors you will have, the cohort you'll work with, and the work you immerse yourself in.
Steve Orazem is the manager of the inpatient oncology unit at Iowa Methodist Hospital. He's responsible for the operation of Powell 3, a 28-bed nursing unit with a large staff. The patient population is adults with all different types of cancer, including leukemia, lymphoma, sickle cell disease and other blood disorders. Because many of the patients are very ill, they and their family members have significant needs.
Steve comments, "I'm fortunate to work with a very dedicated staff, many of whom have committed many years to caring for people with cancer. Some people say 'your work must be very sad'. That's not the case. This is one of the most hope-filled places that I've ever worked. Sometimes the goal is cure and going home. Sometimes the goal is being pain-free and having the best quality of life possible. My work is very energizing."
He pursued his master's degree to be better at his work, especially as a change agent, because change is a big part of life in organizations.
As he contemplated returning to school, he focused on his love of learning. "I enjoy reading and thinking about things that I've never thought about before. I enjoy meeting and talking to people who have perspectives different from my own. I've been a nurse for only 10 years and was a teacher before that, so I'm looking for a way to combine the things that I enjoy and get satisfaction from in both nursing and education."
Before enrolling in Grand View's program, Steve had been thinking for several years about going back to school. He investigated a number of different programs and decided Grand View had several advantages from his perspective.
"I got my BSN at GV and know some of the faculty, and it's close to home. Probably my strongest reason was my prior experience here. I've seen that the focus here is on good teaching. The faculty are committed to that. Some schools are focused on other things – research, service to the community etc. At Grand View the focus seems to be on teaching and learning. I appreciate that."
Asked about his impressions, Steve says, "I was very happy with the program. I feel like it was a good choice for me. There is a good deal of reading, but much of it is very relevant to my practice. Having the three tracks (education, business and nursing) together for the first two semesters is a real strength of the program. The different perspectives of people in these areas make our discussion richer. Working full time and having a young family, I really need to spend my time and energy wisely. This program worked well for me."
My best GV grad school experience
Well, there are certainly a number of them to account as it was a new experience every week through discussion and connections. However, I think the greatest experience will be the connections that I made along the way in the creation of some lifelong friends. Individuals that not only shared the experience but have a similar focus on change and leadership, colleagues who I will know and be connected with for so much longer than just the time in school to learn and benchmark with through life.
How have I benefited from my GV master's degree?
I now have a renewed focus in my career and family. The leadership program was so much more than just a benefit for my career. The program allowed me to strengthen core skills of a leader which has allowed me to build those into specific elements for my career, family, community, and church.
How did I balance life, work, and school?
A balance is always a delicate matter! However, with the course work I was able to set aside a little time each day to manage the work that was needed for each week. I found that letting it build up over the week and then cramming the day before class left me with work that I was not fully satisfied with. The teachers were very flexible and understanding that everyone had many commitments outside of school. They made every effort to work with us so that we could achieve a balance.
How am I using what I learned?
I'm currently a manager in my career. What I found was the ability to begin implementation of the skills I learned right away. I even joked with my team that I was using them as my testing ground for what I learned at school. The ability to implement learned skills from the classroom has allowed me to fine tune those leadership qualities and make them stronger attributes. I now use my education every day!
Why Grand View?
I think the question should be "Why not Grand View." The rich history of the school and its amazing connections to Des Moines and the leaders of central Iowa was a draw for the program. I think the main deciding factors boiled down to three main components:
Best GV grad experience
Having the experience to be in class with the other track members was great. Spending every Tuesday night together really made us bond. The friends that I have made have been my support through school and have really helped me through some difficult times.
Benefits of the degree
The knowledge that I have gained through my courses at GV has been easily applied to my current position. I have been able to use many concepts and projects that I learned in my courses at my workplace. My workplace has benefited from what I have learned.
Balancing life, work, school
I have a very supportive husband and family. There were specific times that my husband and kids knew not to bother mom because she was doing homework. But I also made sure there were specific days that I devoted to my family and did no school work.
Using what I learned
Concepts from the first course and every other course we took are still be used in my everyday work. Everything I have learned has been applicable to my job.
Why Grand View?
I received my undergraduate degree from Grand View. I was familiar with the instructors and knew I would feel comfortable with them. Most of all, the program really fit into my busy life. I knew I needed a program that would offer class time and having the consistent one night a week for the entire program was the perfect fit.
My best GV grad school experience
My best experience was absolutely getting to know my classmates and learning from their experiences in the business world. I have been working for 20 years in the same organization and have great colleagues, but it was good to learn from other perspectives. I have to add that it was also a great experience to learn from all of the professors, but specifically Dr. Whyte. He has such an effective way of challenging us to think outside of the norm and also using literature that on the surface may seem to have absolutely no connection to leadership to draw out effective leadership tools.
How have I benefited from my GV master's degree?
For me personally it was an opportunity to learn new tools that will allow me to continue to be relevant in an ever-changing organization and industry, and to help my team members do the same. My organization benefited because virtually every assignment and reading throughout the two years is applicable to my business world. I have implemented several of the learned concepts in my own departments and some throughout our organization as well.
How did I balance life, work, and school?
Sometimes not very well! After many years of not being in school, it took some doing to figure out the right balance. I had a very supportive employer but also ended up occasionally taking some vacation days just to catch up on homework. After the first few quarters of missing several family events to do homework, I recognized the value of not doing so and somehow found a way to get it all done.
How am I using what I learned?
Almost all of the concepts and readings are very applicable to my work, leading in a changing world. Since I am already in a leadership role, I have the benefit of being able to try new concepts or leadership styles and encourage others on my team to do the same without having to worry about obtaining upper management support. I talked to my team about lots of what I learned and made some changes to things in my work world accordingly while also obtaining buy in and being careful to not have my team think it was a new flavor of the month.
Why Grand View?
After taking a leadership series at Drake, I got the bug to go back to school for the first time since obtaining my bachelor's degree twenty years prior. I searched many local schools for different programs and was intrigued by the innovative leadership idea, especially in a time when my organization and our line of business are changing with lightening speed!
"I have been involved in sports either as a player, coach, or event staff for as long as I can remember. A lot of my interest comes from opportunities I had while at Grand View. I attended as an undergraduate student majoring in Health Promotion Wellness Management. As a member of the women's basketball team I got to meet some great athletic department staff. From interning and working at different sporting events in different roles, I truly found my passion for sporting events and the management and operational work that goes into them.
A Great Fit
"After I graduated in 2014, Grand View announced the Sport Management master's program. I felt that this fit perfectly with my goals and interests within the field and decided to go for it! Being able to enroll in an accredited program in the Des Moines area was a huge plus for me. Des Moines has a lot of opportunities within the sports community to get involved, and I was excited to see where the program could take me.
Community Connections
"One of the biggest things about Grand View that is so valuable are the great connections with businesses in the community; some of the most influential organizations in the local industry are on advisory boards for the different programs, making networking and potential job opportunities a phone call away. This helps to spread the Grand View name within the community and can help you stand out among other job applicants.
"The program itself is very hands on and includes professors with real life experience. The class sizes are small which allows for one- on-one attention from the professors and the opportunity to build relationships with your fellow classmates. Classes themselves are full of great information on topics that apply specifically to sports management and related fields. The curriculum is designed to help you explore the field and truly find the area that you have the most interest and talent in.
Internships & Experiences
"I had my first taste of the sporting industry in the Des Moines area through my internship with the Des Moines Convention Center and Des Moines Sports Commission. It was great to see just how much work goes into bringing certain events to the area and how much impact they have on Des Moines and the state of Iowa as a whole.
"My experiences being a student athlete, working with Grand View athletics, interning with the Convention and Visitors Bureau, have led me to my current position at the Iowa Events Center where I am an Event Manager. The Iowa Events Center is made up of Wells Fargo Arena, Hy-Vee Hall, and the Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center; these venues attract great events and sporting events that I will have the pleasure to work with.
"My advice for anyone considering the idea to start the Sport Management master's at Grand View is, do it! If you are looking for an accredited program, in a major city, with knowledgeable professors with real life work experience, and an overall positive environment, this is definitely the program for you. I have thoroughly enjoyed the program, and am thankful for the opportunities and the people I have met because of it."

TXHSFB Prospect Watch
Cowboys vs. Hawks
Coppell (Texas) High (0-0)
#1 RB Charles West
Class of 2015
West is an exciting player, who can make things happen in a real hurry, as he is a threat to score each and every time he touches the ball. he runs with an exciting style where he gases defenses for big chunks of yardage. Last season, he rushed for 1,177 yards and hauling in 262 receiving yards scoring 16 touchdowns to earn 5-5A First Team All-District honors. Schools like Arkansas, BYU, Kansas State and Texas Tech have offered with Ohio State and USC also showing interest.
#55 OT Connor Williams
Class of 2015
Williams had a huge off-season adding offers from most every top program, including schools like Oklahoma, TCU, Texas, Stanford and UCLA. He played tight end last year, specializing as a run blocker and rotating in with Baylor tight end Blake Mahon. Playing at or around 250 pounds it was easy to see early on that he had the skill set to be a D1 prospect. Now that he is up to 270 pounds he is probably the top uncommitted offensive line prospect in the region.
Others to Watch: Chris Biggurs, Jacob Murray, Scott Huntsman, Skyler Bonneau, Obi Obialo, Bo Anderson
Lewisville (Texas) Hebron (0-0)
#50 OL Zach Rogers
Class of 2015
After missing his junior season team leader and likely captain Zach Rogers will be back out on the field. He was the key component to the Hawk's offensive line in both his freshman and sophomore seasons, so his return is highly anticipated. The Scout four-star is a road grader in the run block game and has quick feet that also make him an excellent pass blocker. He is rated as a center heading in to college at Arkansas, where he has already signed his financial aid agreement, but will most likely be playing left tackle the spot he has started at in his two previous seasons of varsity experience.
Others to Watch: Omar Hicks-Onu, Angelo Garbutt, Clay Holford

What Kind of Flirt are you?12/21/10
The University of Kansas is offering a scientific survey that will predict what type of flirt you are. There are 5 categories: Physical, Traditional, Polite, Sincere and Playful.
Here's how I scored:
- Physical - 70-80%
- Traditional - 30-40%
- Polite - 10-20%
- Sincere - 50-60%
- Playful - 50-60%
Here's what it says about my last (current) relationship:
"In your last serious relationship, it was somewhat likely that you:
- Felt attracted right away.
- Were successful when you flirted using your body language."
Pretty accurate, right Sierra? And BTW - That pic is from many, many years ago ;)

Fiber Overview
Building on the runaway success of other Yummi Bear supplements like their kid's multi, Hero Nutritionals' Yummi Bears Fiber supplement is one of the very first fiber supplements made just for kids. And most kids, just like most grownups, need more fiber than they're getting from diet alone.
Fiber is scarce or absent in processed foods, even many breakfast cereals. Lack of fiber is one of the hallmarks of junk food. And not only junk food, but fast foods, convenience foods, most snack bars, most breads and many breakfast cereals aimed at kids are all fiber-poor. To get enough fiber you've got to more whole, minimally processed plant foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains. Fiber supplements can't make up the difference on their own but they are a great help and a good start. We suggest talking to your children about the importance of these healthy foods and dietary fiber, and Yummi Bears Fiber are a great way to bring up the topic. Fiber Bears are made with chicory root fiber and all-natural vegetarian ingredients, supplying 1.2 grams of fiber per 4 piece serving.
Fiber Description from Yummi Bears
Moms and Dads know how important it is for their kids to get the vitamins and minerals they require to keep their growing bodies healthy. Good News! Your friends at Hero craft Yummi Bears with the highest quality and most essential vitamins and minerals to keep their growing bodies healthy and strong. Kids love the bear-shaped tasty fun and parents smile with peace of mind that their child is getting wholesome nutrition they deserve.Keep things moving along with Fiber from all-natural Chicory Root to help maintain children's digestion and regularity health in a deliciously fruity gummy.
Other Ingredients: Glucose syrup, natural cane sugar, gelatin, citric acid, lactic acid, natural flavors (strawberry, pineapple, orange, grape), natural colors added (black carrot juice concentrate, annatto, purple berry juice concentrate, turmeric), fractionated coconut oil and carnauba wax to prevent sticking.
Manufacturer's Directions
As a dietary supplement, parents may give each child up to four (4) bears per day, with an 8 ounce glass of water. Drink at least two additional glasses of water throughout the day.
Manufacturer's Disclaimer
Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not use if safety seal is broken. Keep sealed for freshness. Gummy product may settle over time.

Washington (AFP) March 29, 2013
The Iraq and Afghanistan wars will cost the United States between $4-6 trillion in the long term, constraining the government's budget for decades to come, a study said.
Harvard University scholar Linda Bilmes concluded that the United States will face increasing costs to care for an estimated 2.5 million veterans, and to pay down debt incurred by borrowing to pay for the wars.
"As a consequence of these wartime spending choices, the United States will face constraints in funding investments in personnel and diplomacy, research and development and new military initiatives," said the report released Thursday.
"In short, there will be no peace dividend, and the legacy of Iraq and Afghanistan wars will be costs that persist for decades," it said.
Bilmes, who served in government under former president Bill Clinton, calculated that the United States has already spent nearly $2 trillion directly for the two wars launched by former president George W. Bush.
But Bilmes' study said the biggest cost would be medical care and disability benefits, saying that more than half of the 1.56 million troops discharged from service have already been granted benefits for life.
Bilmes, who called the numbers unprecedented, said that costs will climb over decades. She wrote that the peak year for disability payments over World War I, which ended in 1918, was 1969 as veterans became elderly.
"The magnitude of future expenditures will be even higher for the current conflicts, which have been characterized by much higher survival rates, more generous benefits and new, expensive medical treatments," she said.
Bilmes also factored in debt, finding no precedent for a time when the United States went to war while lowering taxes, with the possible exception of the Revolutionary War when US colonies borrowed from France.
The study also looked at social costs, with families burdened with the effects of the deaths or injuries of service members.
The United States is expected to maintain a limited military presence in Afghanistan after 2014, when President Barack Obama plans to withdraw combat troops first sent after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Opinion polls show that most of the US public has grown weary of the longest US war, in Afghanistan, and is critical of Bush's decision to invade Iraq a decade ago.
Donald Rumsfeld, the defense secretary under Bush, said before the invasion that the Iraq war would cost around $50 billion and called higher estimates "baloney."

Riding Lessons
My approach to riding instruction is based on helping riders of all levels better understand the biomechanics of their own bodies and horses' bodies. We build connection, understanding and communication from the ground up, working at each person's individual pace to create safe, stable, confident riders who have good working partnerships with their horses.
You'll learn to feel and understand subtle signals from the horse and respond in ways that make riding a dance of ease and comfort. You'll fine- tune your own stability in the saddle, exploring the combination of alignment, flexibility and core strength that leads to achieving balance in motion. And you'll discover the depths of connection you can reach with these amazing animals who so effectively act as mirrors of our physical and mental states.
All disciplines welcome, English or Western tack. (Even bareback!)
If you'd like to learn about horses in this way, take advantage of one of the following options:
My "home base" is River Valley Ranch (Harrison/Irvington area):
Riding and groundwork lessons at available for older teens through adults. Beginners of all ages welcome. I have one quality school horse suitable for adult and teen English riders beginner to intermediate and one horse for groundwork and longeing work. Haul-ins also available for a fee.
I also offer equine bodywork sessions by appointment and take in rehab clients at this location.
Southeast Tucson and Vail:
I can also come to your east Tucson and Vail home/barn or any public facility with an "open trainer" policy for riding and groundwork lessons. Schedule to suit your needs: weekly (or more often) lessons or monthly focused intensives.
Groundwork, Bodywork and More
Rider Biomechanics Coaching , Equine Bodywork, Rehab Consulting and Assistance, and Kinetic Groundwork by appointment at your barn or mine in southeast Tucson and Vail.
For more ways to form an intentional partnership with horses,
New! For your convenience, you can now pay for your lessons using PayPal.
I only refer riders to programs I know well, with instructors I have worked with or observed for a number of years. My priority when referring to a colleague is that she maintain a safe program based on positive reinforcement for students and horses.
For English riding lessons (primarily dressage) in the northwest Tucson area, please contact Cathy Schrieber. Hers is a safe, positive program with school horses for children and adults from beginners to advanced riders in northwest Tucson. She also teaches a limited number of students at their own barns, so inquire about availability of this service.

Budget squeeze 'stretches crews and actors to limit'
Alison Steadman has berated the TV industry for exploiting the goodwill of film crews.
The actress, who appeared with Larry Lamb and Celia Imrie in Love and Marriage, told The Times Cheltenham Literature Festival that crews and actors are stretched to the limit.
She said that one of the biggest changes during her career was the increasing meanness of broadcasters. "They expect too much of crews and actors," she said. "The crews work so hard now, far too long. The budgets have got tighter, [but] they expect more. When we started, you got time [for] breakfast, a break [in the morning], then you would get a lunch hour. Now you get nothing at all."

June 14, 2001
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:
I am pleased to be here today to discuss a program we have implemented at the VA Medical Center in Salem, Virginia, to address the nursing workforce shortage.
The VA Cadet Program was initiated in response to my growing concern for future recruitment of youth into nursing careers. As a child of the 1950's with 27 years of VA experience, I represent the typical profile of the registered nurse of 2001 in the Department of Veterans Affairs. The average age of the VA nurse is 46 with 77% of all VA nurses over 40. Sixty percent of us have a bachelors or higher degree. In addition, I am one of the 35% of VA Nurses who are eligible to retire by 20051. Many of my generation had their first experience in a health care setting through programs such as the Candystriper Program sponsored by the American Red Cross. Yet, when I looked for such programs today, I found a great void for structured mentoring programs to provide incentives for the youth of today to choose nursing as a career. As reflected in the 2000 National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses (NSSRN)2, conducted by the Division of Nursing at the Federal Health Resources and Services Administration, nursing is primarily (94%) a female profession and the young women of today are presented many choices for careers. Nursing must compete with the workplace practices of all other disciplines. The factors that will induce young people to choose a nursing career are the same as those cited for retention of the current nursing work force. As recently stated by Aiken et al in the Nurses Reports On Hospital Care In Five Countries, "hospitals will have to develop personnel policies and benefits comparable to those in other lines of work and businesses, including opportunities for career advancement, lifelong learning, flexible work schedules, and policies that promote institutional loyalty and retention. Popular short-term strategies such as signing bonuses and use of temporary personnel do not address the issues at their core.3" However, with no formal mentoring programs and frequent media attention to the problems and hazards of the nurses' work environment, there are few positive messages to choose nursing. Interventions to correct workplace issues must be made in concert with developing and expanding mentoring programs, such as the VA Cadet, that provide the youth opportunities for positive experiences in the health care setting. The NSSRN also reported a 5.4% increase from 1996 to 2000 in the number of registered nurses. This is the lowest increase ever reported by the survey, which has been conducted every four years since 1975. The increase from 1992 to 1996 was 14.2%. Enrollments in all types of entry level programs have continued to decline for several years.4
Having served as the Chairperson of the Nurse Qualification Standards Implementation Committee, I am appreciative of the commitment the Department of Veterans Affairs has made for supporting nursing education for current staff. This support for nurses to acquire a bachelors and higher degree will make major strides in meeting the needs for these nurses in the future. The need remains for a formal mentoring program to promote nursing as a career.
The VA Cadet Program provides a structured volunteer experience designed to give the student, age 14 or older, a sampling of the nursing care environment and interest them in choosing nursing as their life's work. I will briefly describe the program and the marketing strategies we have implemented.
A detailed position description and orientation curriculum was developed and processed through the nurse leadership and clinical practice forums for review, revision and ratification. This is a critical element as it achieved endorsement of the concept by these nursing leadership groups and assured that the youth were engaged in activities that were appropriate. The orientation includes general safety and work environment topics and focused nursing skills lab for eleven different functions. Some of the tasks include handwashing, making beds, and distributing fresh drinking water to patients. Conceptual skills include communication with the patients, infection control, and confidentiality issues. The Cadet is presented a Certificate of Achievement on completing the five-hour orientation session. A key component in the program is flexibility for the student. We conduct the orientation sessions on Saturday and design their volunteer experiences to mesh with the very demanding schedules of today's youth. The next crucial component is a cadre of dedicated nurses willing to mentor the Cadets. In today's health care environment, it is not realistic to expect the staff nurse who is already stressed with a myriad of patient care demands, to also be responsible for the Cadet. Thus, we have centered the supervision and mentoring role with medical center nursing supervisors. They, as well as other nurse leaders at the medical center, also volunteer as faculty for the orientation. The program is designed to progress from the Junior Cadet to the Senior Cadet after 60 hours of service. The position description for the Senior Cadet includes additional tasks, which are more complex. The rationale for the progression is to keep the young person interested and to expose them to more types of nursing care tasks.
A marketing plan includes mailings to all area public and private high schools; youth volunteer organizations, PTA groups, home school organizations, special interest groups such as the teen mother group, and regional church newsletters. Additionally, we utilized the excellent video produced by the National Student Nurses' Association entitled, Nursing: The Ultimate Adventure6, which is targeted at junior and senior high school students. The marketing plan also included the development and production of a logo and badge worn on the Cadets' lab coat and a lapel pin.
To date, the program has had two orientation sessions and has inducted eleven VA Cadets. The students and faculty rated the program at the exceptional level on the post orientation evaluation. The ten young women and one young man represent five different schools in the community and range in age from 14 to 17. Thus far, the Cadets have volunteered a total of 140 hours in four months, averaging one hour per week per student. Orientation is scheduled quarterly with the next session on July 14.
Other direct outcomes from the project have been RN recruitment as a result of the extensive media coverage of the Program and positive exposure to the volunteer and school community. The Girl Scout Council has endorsed the VA Cadet for badge work and the program has been featured at several civic organization meetings. The Cadets contribute to a positive working environment for the nursing staff and the faculty providing the orientation.
The scholarship program sponsored by the Disabled American Veterans for youth volunteers7 has been a significant drawing point for the students and their parents. We also provide other information on funding available and nursing schools in the local area and surrounding community.
I highly recommend that programs such as the VA Cadets be included as one of the strategies for addressing the nursing workforce issue. I will close with a comment from a VA Cadet of our Charter Class. In discussing the program with another student the Cadet said - "you'll love it - the nurses are awesome and the patients are great - it really makes you feel good to come here" - this is surely a young person we want in nursing and providing health care to our veterans.
Thank you again for this opportunity to discuss the Salem VA Medical Center's VA Cadet Program. I will be happy to respond to the committee's questions.

Betfair offers millions to tempt Tasmanians
Page Tools
In its quest for an Australian base, the controversial online betting exchange Betfair has agreed to give up around 35 per cent of its gross racing profits to Tasmania, Premier Paul Lennon said yesterday.
The local racing industry would scoop up 25 per cent, the State Government would gain 6 per cent, and the rest would go to a levy for community services such as gambling addiction.
The British-based Betfair, in a partnership with Kerry Packer's Publishing and Broadcasting Ltd, is fighting strong opposition from the Australian Racing Board and existing national betting agencies over a licence to operate from Australian soil.
It already accepts internet bets from Australian punters, but without a local licence it cannot advertise or open an office here, as online betting exchanges are outlawed in some states.
Mr Lennon said there were strong financial reasons for the Tasmanian racing industry to look at a deal to let Betfair operate from Tasmania. The predicted millions in revenue may be needed to offset any penalties Tasmanian racing receives from national organisations.
Mr Lennon said he could not release expected gross turnover figures because of the effect on the business plan of the joint venture between Betfair and PBL. But he was able to release the percentages of gross profit to the racing industry peak bodies in the state.
"I told them that they would be entitled to 25 per cent of the gross profit from racing revenues, in Australian and overseas events," Mr Lennon said.
"We would ensure that the community service levy received 4 per cent of the commissions and the government would receive six."
For betting on other sporting events in Australia, such as AFL, the State Government would take 15 per cent, and provide the racing industry with one-third of that.
"Four per cent again would go to the community service levy and the balance to the consolidated fund," Mr Lennon said.
He said it was not a financial windfall for the Government, but instead was intended as a way of getting consistent revenue streams to the Tasmanian racing industry.
He said the industry also wanted reassurance on the integrity of a form of computerised bookmaking where anonymously matched punters can bet for a win or a loss in exchange for Betfair's commission.
"I believe probity and integrity issues won't be of concern to this form of bookmaking," Mr Lennon said.

2010 Nissan Titan Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2010 Nissan Titan based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
3Known Problems
A weak or failing fuel pump can cause power loss due to lower fuel pressure and lean mixture conditions. This rarely causes a Check Engine Light to illuminate and should be repaired to avoid catalytic converter damage.
Overheating and/or lack of proper venting can cause the rear axle seals to leak. Excessive fluid loss can result in major damage to the rear differential assembly and/or axle bearings.
Water can cause corrosion in the connector between the engine and transmission wiring harness. The engine may crank but not start, stall, and/or the transmission may not shift correctly.

The compelling and very human story of the first foreign assault on Australian soil since settlement - the attack on Darwin by the Japanese in February, 1942.
'Grose's compassionate, honest and vivid account ... deserves to be widely read.'-Sun-Herald The bombing of Darwin on 19 February 1942 is the battle Australia tries to forget. Although there was much to be proud of that day - courage, mateship, determination and improvisation - the dark side of the story lingers: looting, desertion and a calamitous failure of Australian leadership.
The Japanese struck with the same carrier-borne force that devastated Pearl Harbor only ten weeks earlier. There was a difference: they dropped more bombs on Darwin, killed more civilians in Darwin, and sank more ships in Darwin than in Pearl Harbor. It remains the single deadliest event in Australian history. Yet the story has remained in the shadows.
Absorbing, spirited and fast-paced, An Awkward Truth is a compelling and revealing story of the day war first came to Australia, and of the under-armed and unprepared soldiers and civilians who faced their toughest test on home soil.

Comments about An Awkward Truth:
This is the hidden history of Australia, the history we weren't taught at school and which our kids still aren't taught.
In recent years, we've heard about the midget submarines in Sydney Harbour, but how many of us had heard of the bombing of Darwin?
I was, quite honestly, very skeptical when i first read about the bombing. I couldn't imagine how i had studied WWII in secondary school and been told nothing whatsoever about the direct attacks on Australia.
If you want a brutally honest, warts and all, account of this bombing, and its aftermath, this is the book to read. The reactions of the civilians and the military are telling, and the behaviour of some of those in charge is truly shocking.
Essential reading for those who want to know the real history of Australia.

I purchased the Vanilla Flavor and have used MRM products before and liked them. However, this is the worst tasting protein powder I have ever consumed. Tastes like fish not Vanilla. Choked down one serving, then got sick. Never Again.
I personally like proteins without too much artificial ingredients, so the MRM Muscle Gainer meets that criteria. After using it for about a year now I have definitely seen results from this protein paired with my training and meals. I tend to slack on eating meals throughout the day and cheat with this protein here and there and it does the job! Cant beat the price for this protein. Good stuff!
Ive been using this product for several months now. Its great to find a mass gainer that tastes good. No negative things to say about it.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello tranman,
The code 0191 is normally set due to a bad Fuel pressure sensor, but replacement of the sensor usually dosnt fix the concern. The problem in most case is the fuel pump is supplying the wrong voltage to the pressure sensor , thus setting the code. The Van runs good in most cases but the fix is replacing the pump.

Presentation Notes -
Janis Duffy announced at the January meeting of CCGS that the Massachusetts Archives has come into the 21st century. They are redesigning the website and are continuing to add data online. Currently, three indices are accessible as searchable databases on the website: 18 volumes of the Archives Collection, Passenger Manifests (1848-1891, Port of Boston), and the 1841-1910 Vital Records. Each of these databases is a partial reflection of the series, but is being added to periodically.
The first collection - early colonial records.
The Archives, with 171h century and 181h century records, including voluminous amounts of Revolutionary era sources is an important source of records for Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire materials,according to their brochure. "Many volumes trace the General Court's involvement with localities and individuals. Documents range from tavern licenses, divorce petitions, Shay's Rebellion, and land grants to records pertaining to the compensation for the loss of a horse or the siting of a meeting house. Most of the volumes have a table of contents and many have been indexed. Microfilm must be used for most of the volumes for research. The creation of the database is an effort to make these documents more easily accessible." If not listed, she said, don't assume it isn't there. Help is available online and at the Archives.
Passenger Lists, Port of Boston, 1848-1891.
Over a million immigrants came into the Port of Boston in this time period and so far, 500,000 names are in the database. Index cards appear with information, but not the manifest itself (originals and microfilm copies available at Archives).You can look at the index to get more information, see fellow travelers, etc. This includes the name, age, sex and occupation of the immigrant, the country of birth, last residence and the passenger list number. Also included is the name of the ship and the date of its arrival in Boston. Researchers may request a search through the card index and can write or call in their surnames to be entered into the database. Some names have not yet been processed.
Massachusetts Vital Records, 1841-1910.
The Archives holds vital records and indices covering births, marriages, and deaths that occurred in the state. Information from the 1841-1910 death notices and births has been entered into a searchable database. Volunteers have worked to correct errors through scanning etc., though there are still mistakes. The marriage indices will be added in the near future. Researchers are welcome to use this database to find the citations for the records they want. Ms. Duffy advised genealogists to use your imagination, try different spellings, as the software is not perfected yet, but is a very good tool. The audience participated by giving her surnames of their ancestors which she checked through her computer. In response to a question, she noted that when people died at sea, their deaths were recorded at the first port of entry.

Hasty players face rough justice
Pinehurst, North Carolina
Page Tools
Tiger Woods tees off at the 8th during practice for the US Open.
Photo: Gerry Broome
Golfers who thought they knew what to expect at the 105th US Open found a rougher, tougher Pinehurst course during the first practice round than they saw at the 1999 US Open.
Domed-shaped greens on the 6596-metre layout will still send errant approach shots rolling off the undulating putting surfaces and into trouble.
"It's going to test you mentally," Australia's world No. 7 Adam Scott said. "As soon as you make a mistake, you are working. You're scrambling."
Geoff Ogilvy, another of the record 14 Australians in the field, has no doubt the course will expose any weaknesses in a player's game.
"Pinehurst sets up for someone who's got every shot," Ogilvy said. "I don't think anyone with any deficiencies in their game is going to do any good, because you've got to do everything. It's a complete test.
"You've got to move the ball both ways, hit it high, hit it low, hit all sorts of chips, and on top of all that you've actually got to use your brain, which is rare on tour."
Many of the shaved areas alongside greens have just enough rough lurking to foil players who would rather putt off green-like surfaces.
Now there will be an even greater premium on uphill chips to set up higher-percentage putts.
"This golf course is not going to beat you up on length," Pinehurst groundskeeper Paul Jett said. "It's going to beat you up from the middle of the fairway into the green."
The change will make the short game even more critical in tomorrow's first round of the year's second major championship. The US Open returns to the venue just six years after the late Payne Stewart's dramatic 72nd-hole triumph.
"It seems like there is more rough than in '99," said 1996 runner-up Tom Lehman. "It seemed to me in l'99 you could advance closer to the green almost every time out of the rough. It doesn't seem that way now."
Masters champion Tiger Woods, who reclaimed the world No. 1 ranking from Fiji's Vijay Singh yesterday, seeks a 10th major title and fourth victory of the year to put him halfway to a grand slam.
"You can't think about that unless you have won the first three and go to the last one with a chance to win," Woods said. "You have got to take it one step at a time."
Woods figures he will be tested by Singh and Phil Mickelson, the runner-up to Stewart in 1999. Each has won three titles this year. Also confident is American Chris DiMarco, a play-off loser in each of the past two majors.
"I really feel like I'm putting myself in position to win," DiMarco said. "I played exceptionally good golf both weeks. If my game is there, I expect to be right there again."
Players will be trying to avoid certain spots on Pinehurst's tricky greens, precision targets that put a premium upon reaching fairways off the tee to avoid the typically dense rough of a US Golf Association set-up.
Spain's Sergio Garcia, fresh from his first PGA title in a year and his best putting performance since 2002, likes his chances of being the first European to win the US Open since England's Tony Jacklin in 1970.
"I'm hitting the ball well," said Garcia.
"It's getting there. It has been improving slowly for the past
month or so."

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is being battered on all fronts, with fresh street protests and party resignations pushing his country's currency to a record low.
Police fired water cannon, tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse hundreds of anti-government demonstrators in both Ankara and Istanbul who had been calling for the government to step down over a bribery scandal.
In Istanbul, some protesters shot fireworks at police.
At least two protesters were hurt when police responded with tear gas.
Some of the 700 protesters who had gathered in a central square in Ankara had held up shoe boxes in reference to images of boxes stuffed with millions of dollars found in the home of one corruption probe suspect, the head of state-controlled bank Halkbank.
Mr Erdogan, though, was ignoring the demands to step down.
On Friday he reiterated that the corruption probe, which has brought down part of his cabinet and resulted in the arrests of business allies to his government, was a "smear campaign" mounted by obscure international forces.
"Those who call it a corruption inquiry are corrupt themselves," he told a large crowd of his supporters as he returned to Istanbul from a political rally in the north-west.
Mr Erdogan also lashed out at politicians who have quit his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) because of the scandal, saying they have "betrayed us along our journey".
Earlier on Friday, another three politicians quit the AKP. One of them, former culture minister Ertugrul Gunay, said the party was being directed by "arrogance".
The political fall-out was having economic repercussions, dealing a blow to the premier who has overseen a decade of growth.
Turkey's lira fell to 2.1492 against the US dollar at Friday's close, a record low after days of losses. The Istanbul stock market also dropped by 1.04 per cent to 63,885.22 points.
"The unfolding political crisis has upset the balances," economist Erdal Saglam told AFP.
"If this political earthquake with economic ramifications lasts a long time, serious problems might emerge in macro-economic indicators including growth, inflation and the current account deficit," he said.

One-hit wonder
Mexico is on its way to the International Championship Game
after 6-0 win over Japan on the back of a combined one-hitter.
Source: South Williamsport, Pa.
Date/Time: Wednesday, August 26, 2009, 4:00pm ET
A team of heroes walked out onto the diamond with a 6-0 lead over what can
only be called a Little League World Series dynasty as the evening hours set in
on the bottom of the sixth in Howard J. Lamade Stadium.
Raul Rojas toed the rubber, just as he did in a 3-2 win the night before – this time with a little more wiggle room. But with a team like Japan, no lead is safe.
After all, Japan's Series dominance is unquestionable. A team hailing from Japan has appeared in 12 of the last 13 Little League World Series, the only exception coming in 2004 when what was then the Far East region was represented by Chinese Taipei. And in each and every one of those 12 visits to Williamsport dating to 1997, the representatives from Japan have advanced to the International Championship game.
But after just a single half inning in Wednesday's International semifinal against undefeated Pool D champ Mexico, it was clear that this year's team was in grave danger of shifting that pattern.
Five and a half innings later, that precise storyline would run its course as Mexico completed its 6-0 victory, a combined one-hitter, to punch the first ticket into Saturday's International Championship game.
"Honestly, I feel like I'm famous," said Rojas, who hit a two-run homer and pitched the final 1.2 innings to close out the win.
"This is very significant," said Mexico coach Carlos Noguera through interpreter Sergio Guzman. "To beat Japan – they are a very disciplined team. They do everything to perfection, they strive to do everything perfectly. They are very disciplined on offense and defense so it's very significant for us to beat them."
Only four of Japan's baserunners advanced as far as second base as the Chiba City Little Leaguers recorded just one hit, breaking up Mexico's bid at the country's third no-hitter and just the 21st in Series history.
"The [biggest] reason was that our team's batting was really not [as sharp] as usual," manager Hirofumi Oda said through interpreter Kotaro Omori. "In Japan, our team's strength is in our batting."
But Mexico hurler Raymundo Berrones made easy work of the Chiba City gang, allowing just seven total base runners through 4.1 innings in the Guadalupe Trevino Kelly Little Leaguers' second no-hit bid in as many nights.
"[Mexico's] opening pitcher was really, really good," said Oda. "[His] speed is really different [from pitch-to-pitch], so we couldn't get the timing."
The bid would last through a full five, until Naoto Ogura finally got to the Mexico staff in the sixth, slapping an infield hit off Rojas.
Mexico would not be as kind, continuing its offensive prowess from the very first at-bat. Each of the nine Guadalupe Trevino Kelly Little Leaguers would come to the plate against Japan starter Wakai in the bottom of the first, with Oscar Noguera leading off with a hit into right to jumpstart Mexico's potent offense.
Rojas gave his side a 2-0 lead the following at-bat, blasting a home run to the deepest part of the park. Luis Trevino kept the rally rolling with a bloop single to left, advancing to third on a pair of wild pitches and touching home three batters later on Jaime Longoria's rope to the same spot.
"I feel very happy because I was able to hit a home run," said Rojas. "My family was there to support me and they believed in me, so I was very happy."
Left fielder Allan Willburn drove in two more from the eight spot with a near homer to center that bounced high into the air off the wall and in for a double before Wakai got out of the inning with a fanning of Agustin Montoya. But the damage was already done as Japan headed into the second with a 5-0 deficit.
Mexico would score again the next frame, when two walks and a pair of wild pitches plated leadoff man Noguera. But they wouldn't get another hit after the explosion in the first.
"I have a lot of respect for Japan," Manager Noguera said. "Every single year they come out strong and they adapt and adjust very quickly. They are very intelligent. They realized in the first inning that they were throwing fastballs and Raul got a piece of it. After that they didn't throw any more fastballs the rest of the game."
Wakai would settle down in the third, getting the Mexico champs to sit down in order.
"Wakai, he really has guts," Oda said of his starter. "It's not [that he was] nervous, just too excited.
"They really did their best," he continued. "And after the first inning, [Wakai] just lost one point so he did really good."
But Berrones matched his counterpart pitch for pitch, getting three-up, three-down performances in his half of the third and fourth, keeping the score stable at 6-0. The feat also marked the second-straight contest in which Mexico's starter would enter the fifth with a no-hit bid intact.
"I was just trying to give it my best out there and win, win, win – throw as hard as I can," said Berrones. "Nobody told me anything about the no-hitter. I realized myself that I was in a good situation."
Berrones's day would end in similar fashion as teammate Marcelo Martinez the night before. At his exit after hitting the 85-pitch limit, Berrones had allowed just five baserunners, none put on by way of a hit, fanning 10 and striking out the side once.
"My impression [of all our opponents' pitching] is control was really good and the curveball and breaking ball too," said Oda. "In Japan, we didn't see that kind of pitcher as much."
Rojas came in for the final 1.2 innings, and while Japan would manage a hit in the top of the sixth, the reliever would complete the 6-0 win with three straight strikeouts.
"I feel very, very happy of this dream because we worked really hard to get here," said Berrones. "We practiced a lot back in Reynosa. We practiced every day and because of it we lost friendships. We had lots of practice so we didn't see people we liked and loved, but now I'm really happy to be here."
With the win, Mexico (4-0) moves on to Saturday's International Championship game, where they will face the winner of Thursday's second International semifinal between Chinese Taipei and Curacao. The International final is slated for noon at Lamade Stadium.
But Japan (2-2) isn't going home unhappy, or unchanged after its time in Williamsport.
"This is really a good stage, Williamsport," said Oda. "If you do really your best, dreams will come true – I want them to know about it. And also that you have to be patient in order to win baseball games."
Meanwhile, the Mexico champs know how their success has changed them – and how it should affect them from here on out.
"We can't really feel like we're all that," said Willburn. "We must stay calm and very modest and get ready to play the next game."

Bet you thought we'd put the RIAA's ugly file swapper witch hunt behind us. Well, guess again. It's back in the news, now that Minnesota's file-swappin' momma Jammie Thomas-Rassett just lost for the third time in her battle against the RIAA.
Amazingly and possibly insanely, she has vowed to fight on. Why, exactly, is not entirely clear. In case you haven't been following this story assiduously over the past three years, here's a quick recap:
[ Get the spin on key tech news that you'll find nowhere else at InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. | For a humorous take on the tech industry's shenanigans, subscribe to Robert X. Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter. ]
In October 2007, Thomas-Rassett was sued by the recording industry for uploading 24 songs to the KaZaa file-sharing service. Her defense was pretty inept (for example, her attorneys claimed someone else accessed KaZaa by hacking into her Wi-Fi network, when she didn't actually own a Wi-Fi router). A jury found her guilty and awarded the record companies $222,000 in damages, or $9,250 per song.
Thomas-Rassett said, I'm not paying, and instead appealed. She was found guilty again by a second jury, who upped the damages to $1.92 million, or $80,000 per song (which is about $79,999 too much to pay for "Bills, Bills, Bills" or "Run, Baby, Run").
Thomas-Rassett said, I'm not paying, and again appealed on the basis that the award was outrageous. A judge agreed, but Thomas was still guilty of violating copyright law, so he knocked the damages down to $54,000.
Apparently, after each trial the record companies offered to settle for $25,000 and an admission of guilt. For them it's not about the money -- they've surely spent tens of millions on attorneys in suing 35,000+ alleged file swappers -- but rather, the example. They don't want people to think they can fight the record labels and win. The music industry wants the world to think it's in the right, and no amount is too much to spend.
But Jammie said, No, I'm not paying, and appealed once more. Earlier this week a jury found her guilty for a third time and assessed damages of $1.5 million, or $62,500 per tune (repeat: $62,499 more than anyone should ever pay for Bryan Adams' "Somebody").
You can guess how Thomas responded to that. Nope, she's not paying. And so it continues.
I'm all for digging in on matters of principle, but at a certain point you gotta cut your losses and move on. Her attorney is fighting the good fight, but does he really see this going to the Supreme Court? It's not like the Supes currently in place are going to rule against multinational cartels like the recording or movie industries. That's not how they roll.

The Bigger Picture: Visual Archives and the Smithsonian
Archive: 2009 - Page 2
See Here: 12/29/2009
In 1975 The George Eastman House in Rochester, NY opened a small exhibition titled "New Topographics: Photographs Of A Man Altered Landscape," that changed the way we think about photography and the art of landscape. While it launched a new photographic style and conceptual framework for a traditional artistic genre, it also re-affirmed photography's powerful ability to describe the particular configuration of place. In some cases the camera is the tool of artists; in other cases of geologists, military strategists, or NASA mapmakers. On the occasion of a new tour of the original show (now jointly organized by the George Eastman House and the University of Arizona's Center for Creative Photography), SPI has selected topographical photographs from a variety of Smithsonian archives. Click the image to start the slideshow.

Revenge: final, Channel Seven, 8.30pm
IF ANY more proof were needed that television is the place for great female roles, Revenge is it. As this fabulous series concludes (don't worry, there will be a second season), it's all about the ladies. About Emily/Amanda (Emily VanCamp), of course, whose passion, cunning, intelligence and, occasionally, kick-ass martial arts skills have driven the action. About her nemesis, Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe), who tonight has a fabulous ''final word'' with her husband and son's fiancee. Special mention must go to sweet geek Nolan (Gabriel Mann), the moral compass of the story and the quiet power behind the throne, who tonight has more than his share of the action.
Louie, ABC2, 10.05pm
THERE'S something special about a comic who can open a stand-up routine by imagining his daughters have been abducted by a child molester and conclude it by urging everyone to be nicer to paedophiles. (He has his reasons.) But that's Louis CK. Simultaneously brutal and vulnerable, it kind of sums up his work. He's prepared to go where few comedians dare to tread - from the grotesque to the plain wrong - but along with his evident intelligence, there's a kind of truth to his eccentric imaginings. Tonight, after dispatching the matter of paedophiles, he takes a trip to the world's most caring (and most perverse) dentist, has a conversation with Osama bin Laden, develops an inappropriate crush on a checkout chick, and concludes by making a series of gags about blacks and Jews. In other words, business as usual for Louis CK.
Raising Hope, Channel Eleven, 8pm
I LOVE this sweet comedy most when the focus is on the ordinary lives of the Chance family, less so when it's a ''special'' episode. Tonight it's one of the latter: a trashy true-crime show - Inside Probe - has chosen the family for a special investigation, what with their links to a serial killer. The spoof does have its moment (I did like the lame animated re-enactments), but in a show that's always pretty broad, the comedy in those segments is almost horizontal. The real fun is in the incidental domestic action (the family's special-occasion food is hilarious). Raising Hope's creator, Greg Garcia, always brings a real warmth to proceedings.
Tribal Wives: Ethiopia, ABC2, 8.35pm
SOME of the episodes in this series have been a bit perfunctory: a voyeuristic look at the funny natives while the overachieving Brit remains largely unchanged by the experience. But tonight's concluding instalment is full of interest. For a start, our OAB is in Ethiopia, a place that for a generation of Westerners is associated chiefly with crushing famine. So what a delight it is to find a village where the residents are certainly living a tough life but are full of joie de vivre and cheek. They're keenly interested in caring for their visitor but having just as much fun taking the mickey (''She sounds like a goat!'', ''What? Don't they have grinding stones where she comes from?''). And Anna, the interloper, seems genuinely interested in changing her life and in using this alien experience to reassess her choices and priorities. Satisfying.

In the latest move to promote the ACT Government's healthy weight goals, Territory and Municipal Services Minister Shane Rattenbury has launched a new guide to outdoor fitness opportunities in the capital.
The new Find Fitness Outdoors website gives users of all ages and fitness abilitiess information to get active in Canberra, using online maps, local fitness stations, walking trails and equipment.
As part of the push, five free outdoor group training sessions will be held in March and April.
Leading by example, Mr Rattenbury and members of his office joined a group workout session with Territory and Municipal Services staff and program ambassadors, health and fitness leader Lee Campbell and HerCanberra editor Amanda Whitley.
"There are so many free exercise opportunities in Canberra's beautiful outdoors for people of all ages and abilities and locating an outdoor fitness facility near you is now easier than ever with the new Find fitness outdoors website," Mr Rattenbury said.
"The website provides an array of tools to assist you in your outdoor fitness journey including a mapping function to direct you to sites with outdoor fitness opportunities.
Users can learn strategies and techniques for using equipment from a series of short instructional videos with Mr Campbell and Ms Whitley.
"These videos highlight a great range of the many locations and fitness opportunities across Canberra, and we want the ACT community to share their own outdoor fitness experiences to encourage others get fit and active while having fun in Canberra's beautiful natural environment," Mr Rattenbury said.
He encouraged participants in the program to use social media to post photos or videos to the new website using the hashtag #CBRoutdoors by April 20. Free personal training sessions are available for the people whose posts generate the most likes or shares on Facebook and Twitter.
The program is part of the ACT Government's Healthy Weight Initiative and comes as the government works to lower the territory's obesity rates.
"We want to see more people using the great outdoor fitness facilities available and hope this new website encourages more Canberrans to lead active lifestyles while also creating a great opportunity for people to enjoy the outdoors," Mr Rattenbury said.
Visit the website www.act.gov.au/outdoorfitness
Public training classes will take place on:
- Saturday March 28 at John Knight Memorial Park, Belconnen from 10am

TOM Selleck is fun to watch as gruff small-town police chief Jesse Stone in this decent little telemovie based on a novel by Robert B. Parker. As the movie begins, Stone is off duty and helping an old state police buddy on a stake-out when the car they're sitting in is sprayed with bullets. Stone sets about trying to find out who did it, while also working on the case of a baby abducted several years earlier.
