Suzette Scheuermann, who has been named chair of the Division of
Nursing, says
nurses gain an advantage when they graduate from a baccalaureate
program grounded
in the liberal arts like the one offered at LWC.
COLUMBIA, Ky. --
Suzette Scheuermann knows the value of a nursing program grounded
in the liberal arts tradition. That is one reason she is excited to
be chair of the Lindsey Wilson College Division of Nursing.
"I am excited about the opportunity to lead this program because
it was another baccalaureate program similar to the one where I
graduated," Scheuermann said.
Scheuermann earned a bachelor's degree in nursing from Spalding
(Ky.) University, followed by a master's degree in nursing from
Bellarmine (Ky.) University and then a doctorate in nursing from
the University of Kentucky. She also has more than 20 years of
experience working in the profession.
"Lindsey Wilson offers a wonderful experience for students with
a great support system," Scheuermann said.
Students enroll their freshman year at Lindsey Wilson as
pre-nursing majors and are part of a special learning community in
which they work with their professors and academic advisers.
Students who meet the program's rigorous academic criteria are
admitted to the nursing program at the end of their freshman
"Being a registered nurse is a very important responsibility,"
Scheuermann said. "The public trusts us, so we have to make sure
that when we prepare a student to practice as a registered nurse
they are ready."
Students graduate from Lindsey Wilson with a bachelor of science
degree in nursing, which gives them several advantages, Scheuermann
"The benefit of a baccalaureate degree in nursing to students is
that they acquire a four-year degree in a liberal arts setting, so
they will get exposure to other disciplines that will help them in
their future endeavors as a nurse," Scheuermann said.
Scheuermann said that graduating with a bachelor of science
degree in nursing gives students opportunities to enter
"Baccalaureate nurses can immediately pursue opportunities in
management," Scheuermann said.
Lindsey Wilson's nursing division is currently housed in the
Goodhue Academic Center. But when the 2011-12 school year opens, it
will move into a new classroom building -- a 26,000-square-foot,
two-story building that will house the nursing program and the LWC
School of Professional Counseling.
The building will be located next to the college's Jim &
Helen Lee Fugitte Science Center, creating a science village on the
LWC A.P. White Campus.
"We are very excited about the new building -- it's going to be
very exciting because the new building will have a skills lab and
state-of-the-art classrooms," Scheuermann said.

TEMPLE — The Stripes convenience store on West Adams Avenue was pristine.
The shelves were fully stocked. Refrigerated cases that run along the store's eastern wall were lit up and filled with every imaginable beverage. Dispensers in the fountain drink center were filled with delightfully colored icy concoctions, as well as the usual offerings.
Cars and trucks filled the parking areas, yet there were no customers.
On Thursday, Stripes' newest convenience store in Temple was being used as a site for filming a company commercial.
The director and part of the crew were from Los Angeles, and a number of the production personnel came in from Austin, where Stripes' creative agency is based.
"This is a big production," said Fred McConnell, Stripes marketing director.
The commercial will run in West Texas, a growing area for Stripes, and as pre-roll video for some of the YouTube offerings Stripes will launch during the year.
"Customers will start seeing this commercial in mid-March," McConnell said.
The goal of the commercial is to highlight the Laredo Taco Co., which is available only at Stripes, he said.
The 14 shots for the commercial were organized in a particular order.
The premise of the commercial is to illustrate what takes place out of sight prior to any taco purchase, including the rolling out of a tortilla, the preparation of the vegetables and the cracking of the eggs for the breakfast tacos.
The items needed to make a breakfast taco were on display for the commercial, but not for consumption. The sneeze guard was removed and the food items enhanced, with who knows what, so it would appear aesthetically pleasing on film.
In addition to the preparation of the tacos, the friendliness of the staff is a focus of the commercial.
"These are the things we want to highlight for the consumer," he said. "We're reminding people what they love about us and introducing ourselves to those who haven't tried us."
After breakfast, eggs are replaced with grilled chicken and beef for the fajitas tacos available at Laredo Taco Co. for lunch and dinner.
The shoot was scheduled to last for 12 to 13 hours and will be pulled together in post-production, McConnell said.
Sixty-five people, representing production and staff, worked on the commercial.
The Stripes on Adams Avenue will open March 17.
A new store that has yet to open is the perfect site for shooting a commercial.
"We're not interrupting customers or business," he said. "As soon as we wrap here today, they'll start training."
Stripes has 580 stores in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
The company has plans to build two stores in Killeen and one in Copperas Cove, said Jessica Davilla-Barnett, Stripes public relations director.
"This is a very important market to us," McConnell said. "Temple is right in the middle of the fastest-growing area in the state of Texas and certainly we want to be here."
The Adams store is on the southwest corner of Kegley. It's 7,000 square feet in size and has 20 gas pumps.
"When I came in this morning and I had to sit at the light as the morning traffic went through," he said. "I thought, 'This will be great for our breakfast business,' and 'This is going to be a great store.' This store is the best and greatest and latest that Stripes has to offer."

Another article to review. --Mr.Vib 12:59, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
|There isn't a whole lot of just funny parts in the article. Though I don't think it needs that, it still sounds great and overall the article is funny.
|It's a pretty good play off of him using a great American accent during House M.D. Though there is an inconsistency with the article and the first photo. The photo says a blood vessel pops out of his head, and it doesn't say that in the article.
|Prose and formatting:
|Well the prose and formatting is good, but who said this quote:"Needless to say, this further confuses an already confusing situation." It doesn't give a source in the article. Also you should implement the sentence "Laurie isn't the only one completely astounded by this incident." into the paragraph below it somehow. This sounds very professional though.
|Not too great of images, but they do work to make the article better.
|Make up some random funny name that has to do with the article in someway for the fan in paragraph ten.

VA Puget Sound Health Care System
Emergency Management
Being prepared for an emergency is more than just having some extra water and flashlights. For an organization that takes care of more than 80,000 Veterans a year, it means having plans for every reasonable scenario and practicing those plans so Veterans are cared for when the worst happens.
From what to do if there is an earthquake to how to evacuate in case of a fire, Emergency Manager James Baumann is constantly developing plans to ensure that Veterans served here are safe. Baumann's unique background includes extensive experience in emergency management and a personal history as a engineer, demolitionist, and military medic. Add to this his work in counter-terrorism and he has few peers in VA.
Even the most robust plans require practice though and much of Baumann's time is spent developing and leading the organization in emergency simulations that often include volunteers acting as wounded patients that must be treated and moved. Complicating matters further are the geographical challenges of a health care system spread out from the coast to the mountains and from Canada to Chehalis.
"If you look at the most likely events and how they would impact us (earthquakes, floods, volcanic activity), we have a lot of things to cover compared to other areas of the country," Baumann states. "The best way to be ready for them all is by taking the more likely events and stressing the basics, the commonalities and the key principles."
What does preparedness mean to VA Puget Sound and Mr. Baumann? It means the constant reviewing of response plans, community coordination with county and regional jurisdictions plus a minimum of six exercises every year in addition to four to six real world events that have a local impact. Being prepared also means working with the hospital's services and facilities management to identify shelter areas and evacuation procedures which lately can be extra challenging given the changes going on at both divisions. "We have been doing a lot of construction lately and there are complicated issues involved, Baumann said. "All the key participants work well together in planning for success to meet all the needs. Our facilities management and hospital leadership does a great job of coordination in that regard."
Being prepared is something taken seriously not only here but across the VA. "Our facilities work hard to ensure we are prepared for an emergency," said Ed James, Area Emergency Manager for the VA Northwest Health Network. "We do this through a comprehensive process of planning, training, and exercise where we learn from our exercises and make continuous improvements to our emergency preparedness programs."
Local emergencies are not the only type to which Baumann's program responds. VA Puget Sound professionals with many different types of skills are also in demand to quickly respond to national emergencies. Baumann coordinated the staff deployments to several national emergencies including Hurricanes Rita (2005), Katrina (2005), Ike (2008), Gustav (2008)and the 2009 floods in North Dakota. "My VA training through the disaster response program prepared me emotionally and logistically for two deployments as a disaster relief social worker for both Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Ike," said VA Puget Sound's Alicia Sloan. "Social workers are trained to be very resourceful at offering psychological "first aid" to evacuees and other disaster relief volunteers, as well as problem solve quickly during crises and highly stressful situations, and perform professionally during very challenging circumstances."
While a disaster or other emergency is something that no one wants to happen, VA Puget Sound is in a constant state of preparedness to handle such an event, whether it be here or abroad.

Sales of the Treo smartphone drove Palm Inc.'s fourth quarter profit to US$27.2 million, compared to $17.7 million for the same quarter last year, the company said Thursday.
Palm notched $0.25 earnings per share on revenue of $403.1 million for the quarter ending June 2, up from $0.17 per share on revenue of $335.8 million for that quarter last year. Measured by pro forma accounting, Palm earned $0.29 per share, which beat the consensus forecast of $0.23 per share from analysts polled by Thomson Financial.
The Sunnyvale, California company recorded revenue of $1.6 billion for the full fiscal year 2006, up 24 percent from $1.3 billion for fiscal year 2005. Palm earned an annual profit of $336.2 million, compared to its 2005 profit of $66.4 million.
Palm pointed to strong sales of its Treo smartphone as the main factor for its success. The company earned $1 billion in revenue over the fiscal year from Treo sales alone, accounting for 62.5 percent of revenue, said Palm Chief Executive Officer Ed Colligan in a statement.
Throughout fiscal 2006, Palm shipped 4.8 million mobile devices, including 2.3 million Treo smartphones and 2.5 million Palm handheld computers. That includes fourth quarter shipments of 623,000 smartphones and 495,000 handheld computers.
Palm's results were strong despite a one-time payment of $22.5 million to Xerox Corp. as the settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit announced Wednesday. The deal allowed Palm to continue using the Graffiti handwriting-recognition system on its handheld computers.

Dsurions_Wrath 4 years ago#1
Ganondorf- Legend of Zelda.
Default Costume)- OoT appearance, sword is the sword they used in the Gamecube tech demo.
Alt)- Twilight Princess appearance, sword is his glowing sage blade from that one.
Alt 2)- Wind Waker appearance, a more realistic version of it anyways, sword takes the shape of one of his two blades from the boss fight.
Neutral- Gerudo Combo- a three hit combo in which Ganondorf punches, slashes downwards with his sword then backhands them, knocking them away. Air version he simply smashes them downwards with his fist.
Side- Heavy Kick- Ganondorf kicks forwards butt dropping the enemy, cannot be used to combo into his level 1.
Up- Heavens Piercer- Ganondorf swings his sword upwards in an arc, lifting enemies up, then stabs directly above him. Air version simply causes him to lunge upwards stabbing his sword directly above him.
Down- Gerudo Slam- Ganondorf does a low backhand to knock an enemy to their knees then immediately slams downward with his sword.
Neutral- Spin Attack (had to get it in there it's iconic to the series after all)- Ganondorf spins with his sword, drawing enemies inwards then knocks tosses them back a bit. Like Sweet Tooth's Chainsaw.
Side- Ganondorf charges forward with his trident trampling people to the ground or knocking them away if he hits them. Air goes at an angle downwards.
Up- Ganondorf stabs forward at an angle with his trident.
Down- Earth Shaker- Ganondorf slams his fist into the ground making enemies near him get sent flying. Air version makes him drop and slam, being higher with the drop makes the shock wave bigger.
Neutral- Energy blast- Ganondorf tosses a bolt of energy forward, can be charged to make it stronger however. Air version slows down his fall when it charges.
Side- Stalfos- Ganondorf summons a Stalfos which does a slow three hit attack. Air version simply does a dropping slash.
Up- Moblin- Ganondorf summons a Moblin which pulls out a bow and fires arrows (that do not interrupt attacks) however it auto aims for enemies for the short time it's placed. Can be killed. Air version drops and begins firing from where it lands.
Down- ReDead- Ganondorf summons a ReDead which he kicks forward. If it hits an enemy it latches onto them slowing them down, and giving Ganondorf small amounts of AP. Vanishes after 5-10 seconds. Air version is kicked down at an angle.
Side- Ganondorf picks up the enemy by the throat, then tosses them behind him.
Up- Ganondorf stabs the foe with his sword and heaves them upwards with a burst of dark power.
Down- Ganondorf knocks the enemy down and stabs them with his trident.
Level 1- Warlock Punch- Ganondorf pulls back his fists, then punches forward with his fist covered in darkness. Has a decent ranged but has a bit of a slow start up.
Level 2- Ganon- Ganondorf morphs into his monstrous form Ganon raising his twin swords. He then quickly slams them down and makes a shock around him that kills anyone his. Enemies can also be killed by the sword slam itself.
Level 3- The power of the Triforce- Ganondorf raises his fist up, causing the triforce to glow and he begin crackling with golden energy. During the super he gains the ability to fly and gain three attacks-
Square- Energy Blast- fires quick energy blasts similar to Jak's.
Triangle- Homing blast- unleashes his slow moving homing blast from the OoT boss battle (which this super is based off of if you haven't guessed.) It moves slow, but the homing can prove deadly for an unwary foe.
Circle- Dark Pulse- Ganondorf launches a pulsing wave of darkness around him, causing enemies controls to be reversed for a set amount of time.

Ganondorf's taunts-
These toy's are too much for you!- Ganondorf levitates with his fist raised, the back of it facing outwards and the Triforce of Power glows.
A future... for you?- Ganondorf laughs similarly to how he did during the Wind Waker boss fight.
An impressive looking blade...- Ganondorf slashes his sword outwards, stopping and pointing it toward the screen or the background then brings it back to his side.
Level 3 theme- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-xKPWePgRw
Victory 1- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNq53Kvziho

2)Ganondorf does his signature fist raise with the Triforce of Power glowing.

3)Ganondorf has his back facing the screen and is looking downward.
4)Ganondorf turns to stone like in the end of Wind Waker.

Obviously he won't use his sword. That'd be too obvious. Maybe he could hold it in his Intro/Outro/Taunt... but definitely don't let him fight with it.

xD Funny, very funny. But you're totally right, he should fight with his fists, and all of his attacks should be back hands like he did in Wind Waker.

Weeeell I'll just crawl back in my hole now. Obviously people are either ignoring these topics or have just flat out blocked me at this point. No worries people there won't be anymore of these popping up on the board or bumps.

Probably because it's Ganondorf, who already has a moveset (see Smash Bros.) and who isn't related to Sony at all.
I have read your other Sony-related ones and liked them, but this...you just gotta cut down and stop going crazy wild with so many of the topics I think.

Eh maybe. Smash Bros's move set for him is boring however hence why I did this one. But yeah I should probably cut down on em. Just not big on posting topics on the game play, considering nearly every one of those on the board is about 50% complaining and 25% arguing (or the other way around) at this point >.>

DOHA, Qatar (AP) -- Tiger Woods has rediscovered more than just the ability to win again.
Having ended 2011 with his first victory in two years, Woods says the joy of being able to play golf with a healthy body has returned as well.
Woods is preparing for a tournament in Abu Dhabi, his first of the year. He tells The Associated Press by email that he has fully recovered from the leg injuries that ruined much of last season. He also hopes his recent victory at the Chevron World Challenge in California is the "start of another great run."
He says that for much of 2011 he was "playing with pain and that isn't fun." He adds that the last few months have been "really fun," mostly because he's healthy and "building week on week."

The woman on reception was extreemly friendly and helpful There is a great big hill / driveway that you have to go up and down to get into the hotel...we hired quads so only had to walk it once or twice but if you have a heavy suitcase can make it difficult. The room was very basic and cramped but ok otherwise
Cleanliness, swimming pool, fair walking distance from center, good quality-price Difficult understanding due to almost no English spoken
The owner is very kind and help us anytime , the swimming pool area is amazing, the location very close to the shops If does not make sun in the day prepare to take cold shower.
we're loving the design of the room!!! hmm...the only negative is we need to do some walking to the town and there is a slope in front of the hotel and it was tiring to bring our luggage up n down...
Located centrally. Nice swimming pool. Hard to find as there are no signs.
Far away from the center. Rooms had old furniture and bathroom very small. I sent two emails asking if the hotel offers transfer from the port. I never received an answer. It would be sufficient just to reply they do not offer this service.
Good location, 10mins from Fira square. The owner was helpful and friendly, let us use shower facilities after we had checked out and having gone for a last swim. The pool area is nice. Free parking area close by. Zero sound insulation - had very noisy tenants the first days. The toilet flush was not working and was not repaired during our stay. Towels and sheets changed every 4th day. Breakfast not buffet and coffee was rather terrible - otherwise had ok quality. Very steep uphill when leaving can be tiring especially when carrying luggage.
The friendliness and excellent service provided by the proprietors who treated us like family. Excellent breakfast with home made sweet orange served with the Greek yogurt. Also the best Greek salad on the island and plentiful, a portion that was enough for two people.Fresh towels every day and bed linen changed every other day. Nothing was too much trouble for Irini the manager/receptrionist her advice and good knowledge of the area re sight seeing where to eat etc. very sweet young helpful lady spoke beautiful English. because it was our wedding anniversary on our arrival there was a bottle of wine in our room which was very considerate also we were given a sea view room we had requested we could see the other islands across the sea bathroom was too small
Our staying at Anemoussa Villa was great. The staff of the hotel was really pleasant and they were really helpful. We highly recommend this hotel: close to Oia, very quiet and once again with a really kind staff!!!! Thanks for all, Jon&Itziar
Everything. The hotel is very nice and well located.
professional and accommodating staff
the staff at this family-run hotel are extremely friendly and willing to help you out for anything...I would definately go back!!!
The staff was wonderfully accommodating and we enjoyed our room and patio very much. It was nice not to be in the midst of the hectic area around the shopping and restaurants.
Very relaxing and quite (end of season) very friendly owners with good pool.
Very friendly people, very clean, very helpful.
The excellent service provided by the villa's owners. The great location which is away from the touristy stretch of villas, yet close enough (within walking distance) to reach for shopping, meals and to catch the spectacular sunset.
Accommodation;particularly friendly and helpful staff;swimming pool;far(enough) from the madding crowd! No
Nær strand og butikk. Ugenert og rolig. Svært bra renhold. Hyggelig stab. En bekreftelse fra hotellet pr. mail om du har bestilt ville være en ekstra betryggelse. Pluss bekreft. om ønsket service(henting etc)
Vi likte det meste! Ikke mye å bemerke! Nei
Greie leiligheter,, litt ensomt beliggende, flott uteareal Toalett
Hyggelig og serviceinnstilt personale i rolige omgivelser. Kun 2 min å spasere til strand. Øyas mer berømte attraksjoner en kort taxitur unna. M.a.o. et perfekt sted om en vil slappe av.

Tragic. Senseless.
Horrific. None of these words do full justice to the recent shooting and killing of 27 people in Connecticut. Most of the 27 were small children, their lives ended much too soon.
As a father, I could not even begin to fathom why this happened, or why anyone would commit such a heinous act.
When I first heard of this story, my heart sank to hear of yet "another" mass shooting; they have gotten to be that common and that frequent. And, as before, those who would bring up the issue of gun control will be decried by those who give the same ludicrous and selfish arguments:
"We shouldn't politicize a tragedy."
"Guns don't kill people; people kill people. Killers will always find a way."
"If we ban some kinds of guns, where will it stop?"
"If more people had guns, they could stop the killers themselves."
All I can say to those who hold the Second Amendment so dear is this: if you lost your child to a deranged gunman, would you still fight for the right of everyone to possess a dangerous weapon, or would you do everything in your power to make sure that it never happened to anyone else?
I weep for the children who will never experience the joys of a full life.
I weep for the parents who never realized that they would lose their children so unexpectedly.
I weep for the people who will go through another tragedy like this, knowing that our society will most likely do nothing to prevent it from happening again.
I weep for a society that is so in love with guns that it cannot bring itself to stop such needless tragedies.
Kesavan Srinivasan, Hudson
We need sensible gun control outlawing all semi autos. real hunters don't use them anyway .But more importantly ,our local school district is also comprised of five police departments and I see no good reason for these city and township governments not to agree to have one police officer at each school. In our case the cost could be divided between the five police departments.Today it is all about response time to the threat. A person intent on killing that has a semi-auto weapon can get into a school and kill many children and teachers in minutes.Our response has to be immediate not minutes away. I can think of no greater use of our police forces for our community. We use police for any other events at the schools anyway.Our local politicians need to get their heads out of the sand and take the next step collectively as a group for the good of our community. Sadly, it is a different world than the one I grew up in and eventually that world may collide with ours. I think our children should be protected not a potential target. Remember Chardon,Newtown,and all the other schools where this happened. Also, many thanks to the educators and administrators for doing their part in keeping the children safe . Now is the time for our local politicians to do the same.Merry Christmas to all

At 37 and 16 years old respectively, Wests/UC openers Darren Richards and Matthew Gilkes are at opposite ends of their cricket careers.
But their master and apprentice relationship bore fruit in a big way in a match-winning double century stand in a first innings win over Eastlake at Jamison Oval on Saturday.
After the first day of the two-day clash was washed out last week, the captains agreed to play a virtual one day game and Eastlake declared at 8-244, with Adam Tett (74) leading the way.
But competition leader Wests/UC needed less than 33 overs to reel in the target against third-placed Eastlake, with Richards unbeaten on 135 and Gilkes 95 in a 216-run partnership.
Richards coaches keeper/batsmen Gilkes, who was disappointed he fell just short of making his maiden first grade ton after he made his debut last season.
"I was pretty disappointed to not get there, but it was great to be out there with Darren," Gilkes said.
"He's been an amazing help, he talks to you all the time and I've learnt heaps."
Wests/UC captain Joe Cooke said being able to learn first hand from Richards has helped accelerate the development of Gilkes and the club's other young players.
"I know he coaches those guys during the week and being able to have your coach also bat with you on the weekend and do it together, it's a massive advantage for the likes of Matthew," he said.
"We [captains] ended up having an agreement in an attempt to get a result, we didn't really see the point of turning up and playing for two points [for a draw]."
In other games Queanbeyan (9-252 declared) and Weston Creek Molonglo (3-109) played out a draw at Freebody Oval.
Henry Hunt (65) and Dean Solway (53) were the mainstays for the hosts with the bats, with Harry Medhurst leading the Weston Creek attack with 4-39.
Ginninderra and ANU also had to settle for a draw, with an aggressive unbeaten 168 by ANU opening batsman Randall Starr the highlight, while Rhys Healy made 97 for Ginninderra.
Fourth-placed Norths secured a vital two points by holding out to finish on 9-206 in reply to Tuggeranong Valley's 213.

LOST Cartography
Ah, yes, another non-thrilling LOST episode in which the writers further hint that previously neon-lit clues (Locke's dad = Sawyer) are probably, most likely, almost certainly true while other mysteries (how was Locke paralyzed?) go completely unaddressed. Just to make us forget about all that, they throw us a bone. Behold, the Map of Leg Crushage:
The Blacklit original
In black and white
Overlay with some text filled in
Nearly all text filled in (great job, whoever did this!)
Apparently the producer's key, for a magazine (way to suck the fun out of the chase, writers)
More translations from story-hungry fans will no doubt turn up throughout the day (is it not sad that one has to look in the subtext for new action?), but here's what we know so far:
Four station symbols are clear: Swan, Arrow, Staff (cadeucas), Flame (not previously seen)
Center station is labeled "?" which is the title of a future episode
LatinPhrases translated:
Cogito ergo doleo = I think therefore I suffer
Malum consilium quod mutari non potest = It is a bad plan which cannot be changed
Sursum Corda = Lift up your hearts
credo nos, in fluctu eodem esse = I think we're on the same wavelength/wave/sea
un sit magna, tamen certe lenta ira deorum es = The wrath of the gods may be great, but it certainly is slow
Aegrescit medendo = the disease worsens with the treatment/the remedy is worse than the disease
hic sunt dracones = here there be dragons
ursus maritimus = polar bear
liberte te ex inferno = free yourself (?) from the underworld
nil actum reputa si quid superest agendum = consider nothing done if anything remains to be done
malum non fidit atra = evil does not trust the dark/evil has split the dark/black things
Dates listed:
December 7th 1981 - The Swan Station was the sight of a H.G. (Hanzo Group) Delegation Inspection
October 28th 1984 – suspected shutdown
1985 – Caduceus Station believe abandoned due to A.H. / MDG incident
April 8th 2000 - Dharmatel intranet Complete shutdown in effect
August 15th 2001 - Dharmatel intranet Complete shutdown in effect
Revision on April 4th 2002 – possible Zoological Site identified
January 6th 2006 - Dharmatel intranet Complete shutdown in effect
MDG = M. DeGroot (conceived of the Dharma Initiative)
AH = Alvar Hanso (the 'star' of the Orientation video)
The equations relate to gravitational pull and magnetic field strength
Finally, if Helen isn't in on the Long Con of Locke, I will eat my hat.

The New Frontier
It's long been my opinion that if you're a fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation and missing the good old days, you should pick up a TNG novel by Peter David. Dozens of authors have taken the leap, but he understands the characters and stays true to their sketches, building books around who they are, not forcing them into a story he wants to tell. Since the TNG's debut, Star Trek fans have counted on him to fill in the blanks that overachieving script writers couldn't be bothered to tie up: He wrote Imzadi to tell the story of Riker and Troi's first meeting and their eternal ties, a plot point regularly visited but never explained, and Imzadi 2 on the Troi/Worf relationship fallout, a storyline developed over TNG's last 2 seasons but abandoned unceremoniously when Worf joined DS9. Most of his stories were written with Gene Roddenberry's blessing, and how he received it is obvious--he writes like a true fan. The drama, humanity, and humor that made TNG a fantastic show are there and I was always sorry he hadn't been tapped for the heinous crimes that were the TNG movies.
The History
Besides TNG, Peter David is known for comic books like Spiderman, Justice League, The Punisher, and the Hulk, TV shows like Babylon 5, and just about every other ComicCon-variety thing you could come up with. He's a fountain of creative energy. And that, my friends, was how a new creature was born in 1997...Star Trek: The New Frontier. The day I stumbled across it, I was taking refuge from college stress in the local B&N, and in a little paperback buried in the scifi section he announced he was going to do something experimental and would we mind just sticking with him for a while? Or at least that's how I interpreted it.
Inspired with his new creation, he churned out 4 books in the first 2 months with a 6 month break and over a dozen in the series' first 4 years, attracting a throng of TNF addicts spoiled with new stories. Suddenly in 2001, it stopped. He was burnt out and invented another series called Sir Apropos of Nothing, general scifi, but for 2 years, nothing TNF but a few dribbles. Then with no fanfare, October 2003 produced 3 new TNF books (I missed this whole group) followed by yet another break, except for a chapter or two. And now it's baaaack--his newest addition debuted February 28 in hardback--a format he hadn't used in the series yet.
The Plot
ST: TNF is set in the TNG universe using entirely new characters of his own invention, save for Elizabeth Shelby (spunky blonde of The Best of Both Worlds fame), Robin Lefler (a fanboy favorite originally played by Ashley Judd in The Game), and Soleta (Dr. Crusher's Vulcan assistant); the benefit of this being that the scriptwriters could never Bermangle them in their own special way. The crew of the Excalibur is bizarre and decidedly mixed: the security officer is literally a rock; the science officer is a Hermat; and the engineer is, we eventually learn, a Q (of the Continuum, not the alphabet). Captain Mackenzie is brash in a Kirk-on-a-suicidal-day kind of way and in love with First Officer Shelby with the delicious angst of Riker and Troi. Without budget constraints for special fx, the books contain epic, spectacular battles with the Tholians (an TOS villain) and new villains intent on converting/destroying the galaxy, not unlike the Cylons on BSG or the Ori on SG1.
The Plug
If you're looking for a distraction, The New Frontier fits the bill. It isn't too deep, but not so casual as to insult your intelligence, and it's like visiting an old friend. Most of the books aren't in the bookstore anymore, but they're all in digital format on Amazon or available for a dollar or less in the used section, minus the newest ones. One more thing... he was so successful in establishing its mythology that his characters are spread across several other book series by different authors and nobody really seems to have the entire list. But here it is, in order of events contained therein, as best I could figure:
Star Trek: The New Frontier series
1. House of Cards July 1997
2. Into the Void July 1997
3. The Two Front War August 1997
4. Endgame August 1997 (these first 4 are now under one hardback cover)
5. Martyr March 1998
6. Fire on High April 1998
Once Burned: Captain's Table #5 October 1998
Double Time October 2001 (DC Comics graphic novel, now found in "Star Trek: Other Realities")
Double or Nothing: Double Helix #5 August 1999
7. The Quiet Place November 1999
8. Dark Allies November 1999
9. Requiem: Excalibur September 2000
10. Renaissance: Excalibur February 2001
11. Restoration: Excalibur November 2001
Cold Wars: Gateways #6 October 2001
What Lay Beyond: Gateways #7 June 2002
12. Being Human November 2001
13. Gods Above October 2003
14. Stone and Anvil October 2003
15. No Limits October 2003
16. Missing in Action February 2006
Prequels and minor appearances:
Starfleet Academy books #1-3, first published in 1993, introducing Zak Kebron, Soleta, and McHenry
Imzadi 2, with a few characters dropping in
Tales from the Captain's Table, one chapter on Shelby June 2005
Tales from the Dominion War, one chapter on Zak Kebron August 2004

We took 45 athletes to the Winter Retreat this year. Six of them are not in this picture.
Pictured above is the AIA Winter Retreat speaker, Marvin Williams, along with three members of the Marshall men's soccer team: Michael McCabe, Matt Risher, and Michael Hayes (from left to right).
In place of the breakout sessions for the AIA Winter Retreat this year, a student-athlete panel was created to talk about how they balance athletics with their personal ministry. Representing Marshall was men's soccer player, Jordan Hilgefort (seen 3rd from the left).
Former NFL player, Gary Newell, came and spoke with us on November 9. He spoke about the importance of knowing God, as opposed to knowing about God. More information about Gary's ministry can be found at http://www.outreachamerica.org/
More than 85 people were in attendance to hear Gary Newell speak. This is a little more than the 5-10 people average that FCA had in the 2007-2008 year.
Fourteen people indicated a decision to follow Christ at FCA on November 16. Ed Carter (back row, fourth from the left) shared his testimony of how the LORD kept him from getting on the plane in 1970 and how God has used the moment to shape him into the man that he is today.

Comment on Financial Reform Implementation
August 17, 2010
Dear FDIC
I feel the following needs to be included with your new guidelines.
The use of BPO's CMA AVM should not be allowed in any part of the loan or foreclosure process. Real Estate agents have an interest in the BPO by hoping to get the listing. All of this work should be down by an appraiser and new forms to meet the lending institutions should be created if needed.
Customary and Reasonable fees should be mandatory and set to the VA Fee Schedule as the minimum paid to the Appraiser. No AMC, Bank, Mortgage Broker should set the fees.
Appraisers should be able to collect the fee from the buyer, property owner to eliminate the typical non-payment that occurs.
Since the HVCC, I have lost all my clients, my income has been reduced in half. I can not go out and market myself like the past. All Lenders should be able to accept appraisals ordered by a Mortgage Broker, Real Estate Agent Etc.
All persons involved in the transaction should be licensed and carry E&O insurance.
All AMC should be licensed in each state with a bond.
There should be a enforcement division created with a percentage of each transaction done, just like a tax.

They did nothing as Americans were drowning and families were clinging to life on their rooftops.
You know how all these Alaskans are—clinging to their guns and religion and so forth.
He almost managed to blow it (Rev. Wright, the "clinging to their guns" comment) but managed to pull it out.
Those seemingly distinct blow-ups are actually part of a continuum: Wall Street is clinging to a model that no longer exists.
clinging to nuclear weapons in excess of our security needs does not make the United States safer.
Several cabin boys are seen, some clinging to the shrouds, some seated.
My voice had some effect upon her, for she grasped the stick to which she was clinging.
As we entered she dropped my hand, clinging convulsively to my dress.
Cecil is down from her dainty table, clinging to her father.
Her mother was an old woman, clinging with an old, stubborn fidelity to the little things of her past.
Old English clingan "hold fast, adhere closely; congeal, shrivel" (strong verb, past tense clang, past participle clungen), from Proto-Germanic *klingg- (cf. Danish klynge "to cluster;" Old High German klinga "narrow gorge;" Old Norse klengjask "press onward;" Danish klinke, Dutch klinken "to clench;" German Klinke "latch").
The main sense shifted in Middle English to "adhere to" (something else), "stick together." Of persons in embrace, c.1600. Figuratively (to hopes, outmoded ideas, etc.), from 1580s. Of clothes from 1792. Related: Clung; clinging.

Sometimes the aireplay -4 (chopchop) doesn't complete the xor file and tells you to use another packet. This happens if the AP drops packets that are shorter than 42 bytes, aireplay then tries to guess the rest of the data (the workaround) if the headers are predictable. If it caches an IP packet it will check if the checksum of the header is correct after guessing the missing parts.
If non of this works it will fail and tell you to use another packet.

Miss Octopus And The Pirates
My friend Lysa and I made this cake for my daughter's pirate birthday party. The cake is chocolate with a chocolate center. My daughter insisted we had to have an octopus and it was her idea to put a bow and red lipstick on her. The purple is Duff fondant. This was an 8 hour project and we had a great time making it!

"From Australia's point of view it is regrettable to see ownership of major industries pass to foreign hands, particularly an icon such as Penfolds."
Mr Spalvins said Penfolds had a higher market share in Australia in the 1980s when it was under the control of his once-mighty Adelaide Steamship Co than it does now. United States private equity firms Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and junior partner Rhone Capital made an increased buyout bid for Treasury a week ago, valuing the company at $3.4 billion. Mr Spalvins said Penfolds' market share had diminished in Australia for one reason: "The short answer is management."
Mr Spalvins's strident views about Australian's wine industry, and in particular the management of Penfolds, will no doubt draw criticism themselves because of the way in Mr Spalvins's own company collapsed in 1991 under debt levels of $7 billion. Out of the ashes of Adelaide Steamship, which at the time included Woolworths, David Jones and a string of large food brands, some of Australia's strongest businesses have emerged. Woolworths has grown into a supermarket giant with a market capitalisation of $45 billion.
Mr Spalvins was also scathing about the attempts by Foster's Group to manage such a large stable of wine brands prior to Treasury splitting off as a stand-alone wine company in mid-2011.
Having Penfolds sitting alongside a string of other big wine brands such as Rosemount, Lindemans, Wolf Blass, Seppelt and Saltram made it very difficult, and there was an "inability to manage a large number of brands".
Expensive and disastrous
Mr Spalvins said the 2000 acquisition of Beringer Wine Estates in California was expensive and disastrous.
He said both Foster's and Treasury appeared to have boards of directors "who did not adequately understand the wine industry". It was a tough business in which to make profits consistently because of the cyclical factors involved in an agricultural industry, but adequate returns would come from well-managed businesses.
"Without a doubt the industry has a large cyclical factor and investment of capital must be carefully monitored, but adequate returns can be earned if marketing and promotion of brands is correctly handled and capital not wasted," he said.
Mr Spalvins, who does not own any Treasury shares, said there were many examples of premium wine companies in the United States delivering solid returns. He said Treasury, because of its size, had the advantage of large-scale production and marketing, but had failed to earn adequate returns.
KKR and Rhone have offered $5.20 a share for Treasury, up from a $4.70-a-share proposal made by KKR alone in mid-April. "Purely from a financial point of view the shareholders should accept; the track record of current management does not justify a higher price," Mr Spalvins said.
He was speaking from the United States, where he is travelling. He is 78 and lives in the affluent Adelaide suburb of Springfield, and said he still gains pleasure seeing the high-end Penfolds wines on wine lists around the globe.
He said interest rates of 18 per cent and higher in the late 1980s that brought the highly leveraged Adelaide Steamship empire down were ultimately too hard to manage. Australia's big conglomerates now, such as Wesfarmers, were doing a fine job, but it was easier to manage debt levels with current interest rates of 5 per cent or so.
Mr Spalvins said he does look back with frustration at the strong businesses inside Adelaide Steamship that have gone on to be valued very highly by the sharemarket, and the inability of the company to hold them all together.
"Yes, it is frustrating to think of what could have been," he said.
Adelaide Steamship took ownership of Penfolds in 1980 when it bought the broader brewing business of Tooth & Co, but sold it to SA Brewing in 1990 as part of a drawn asset-sale program forced on it by bankers.

Cracking the Code
Raelorasz at the Transitus Shield wants you to get the Azure Codex from Inquisitor Caleras and collect 3 Shimmering Runes from his Coldarra Spellbinders.
I sense a distinct peculiarity in the drakes here but the meaning of the runes that cover their bodies still eludes me.
Without a codex, it will take more time than we can afford for me to interpret them.
Not far from here is a Kirin Tor traitor, Caleras, who is likely to have a copy of the tome I require. His underlings hold the runes I will need for my translation.
Hurry, mortal. Malygos gains strength with every passing moment.

I had implants 12 years ago over the muscle and it was amazing. They looked great, recovery was 2 days. They started to look very firm and fake and it appeared I had some scar tissue. Therefore, I decided to go under the muscle. It's been a nightmare. Pain still after 4 weeks, they sit very high, they look uneven and when I lean forward the skin hangs giving it a tubular look. I wear a painful band at night, I do massages all the time and now after 4 weeks my incision reopened. Is this normal? Should I avoid working out?
How Serious is an Incision Opening 4 Weeks After Breast Augmentation?
Doctor Answers 9
Incision opening
An incision opening can be many different things at many different levels. Uusally at 4 weeks it is possibly a suture extrusion. If there is drainage it may be more significant and the implant can become exposed. The best thing to do it see your surgeon to be evaluated.
Open Incision following breast augmentation
If your incision has reopened 4 weeks after breast augmentation you should notify your surgeon immediately and make an appointment to see them as soon as possible. In the meantime, keep the incison clean and apply a topical antibacterial ointment such as neosporin or ploysporin. Avoid working out until you see your physician.

Breast Augmentation Incision Opening
Most likely an incisional opening after four weeks at the lower breast fold is superficial and does not extend deep and expose the implant. I would get evaluated by your plastic surgeon to make sure it is just that. Until you get evaluated, I would stop massaging and banding to avoid any undue stress on the incisional opening. Otherwise there is a big difference between implants that were initially placed above the muscle and changing them years laters due to capsular problems to a submuscular position. They are not comparable operations in terms of recovery.

Incision Opened After Breast Augmentation
A small and superficial opening may be due to a suture working its way out. However, you should notify your surgeon to make sure it is no more serious.
If the implant is exposed it's a problem
If the incision is only open superficially and there are no signs of infection like redness, drainage, or fever then it may be OK and may heal over time. Your doctor of course should monitor this with you and treat accordingly. If the wound is completely open, exposing the implant, then something needs to be done ASAP. Dependinhg on drainage and other factors it may be possible to irrigate and close the incision, but the success rate is probably 50/50. Each doctor handles this a little differently depending on their findings and their experience. It may be necessary to remove the implant and allow things to heal before replacing it, or even considering other options like fat grafting.
You probably should avoid working out until the problem is resolved one way or another.

Incision Opening after Revisionary Surgery
Thank you for the question.
I am sorry to hear about the complications you are experiencing after revisionary breast surgery. Keep in mind that the operation you have undergone is significantly more complicated ( and generally has a longer "recovery time") compared to first time breast augmentation surgery. Converting breast implant position and management of the overlying skin and breast tissue can be a challenging operation and generally does involve a several month period of healing and skin redraping etc.
How serious of a problem the incision opening is will depend on physical examination. I would suggest close follow-up with your plastic surgeon. He/she will be able to answer questions much more precisely.
Best wishes.

Breast incision opening
I would avoid working out until several weeks after the incision closes or until you get the go ahead from your surgeon. It is important that you stay in touch with your surgeon throughout this process.
Open Incision After Augmentation
The incision opening is typically only an issue if the implant is exposed. Otherwise, and more commonly, this represents a suture working its way to the surface. Your surgeon can easily make the diagnosis with an examination. Best wishes!
Go back to your surgeon!
I assume you have shown this to your surgeon. if not you need to do so right away. And while you are there ask about such things as when will my implants drop and can I do anything to speed that along like doing massage.

Local Correlations Between Lava Flow Width Behavior and Underlying Slope
M. N. Peitersen, D. A. Crown, A. Snyder Hale (University of Pittsburgh)
A lava flow's width behavior is indicative of its response to topography, emplacement regime, and physical properties. Previous studies have shown unexpectedly poor correlations between flow widths and underlying slopes. Flow behavior has been characterized by analysis of individual features (local maxima and minima) on plots of slope and width as functions of distance. Initial analysis was done by visual inspection. For ten Episode 1-5 Puu Oo flows (Kilauea Volcano), the following correlations are evident: 1) width peaks align with slope troughs, and 2) width troughs align with slope peaks. Such inverse (negative) correlations between width and underlying slope imply topographic control on flow emplacement. However, features cannot always be clearly correlated. Major changes in width also occur where slope is relatively constant, suggesting that some factor besides topography is involved. Where correlations exist, some are positive (reversed) or slightly offset. Magnitudes of correlated features can differ significantly; minor changes in slope occur with major changes in width, and major slope changes sometimes have little or no effect on width behavior.
An automated feature recognition procedure has been developed and applied to Puu Oo flows. Results for flows 2.1 and 4.1 are shown in Table 1. The automatic method is more precise and hence shows fewer positional correlations.

Getting a male perspective on women's sports
Women's sports advocates and fans had much to watch, write about and reflect upon over the past year. The marking of the 40th anniversary of Title IX in June gave us a chance to remember the early days of organized scholastic competition for women and girls in our country and marvel at the progress made since the bill was signed into law. The extraordinary showing by female athletes at the 2012 London Olympics made headlines everywhere, as a record number of women performed -- some in record-breaking fashion -- on the world's greatest sports stage.
But after such an eventful stretch, it's fair to ask: What's next for women's sports? What can, or should, we aspire to now that the Title IX celebrations have died down? Will the National Women's Soccer League succeed where others have failed? Will emerging or entirely new sports take off? Will the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014 open even more doors? Will the progress of women's sports be about incremental steps, or is there a "next big thing" lurking on the horizon?
What will the next 40 years, the next Olympics, the next year, bring?
While it's hard to come up with precise answers to any of these questions, one thing is certain: Men will be involved. To be sure, women's sports will continue to feature (and benefit from) strong women, whether they're executives, qualified coaches or passionate fans of all ages. But if women's sports are to move forward in a meaningful way, the contributions of men as investors, executives, administrators, business and media partners, reporters, commentators and fans will also be critical.
There is already evidence to prove it. Birch Bayh helped bring Title IX into law; Jacques Rogge has overseen expanded opportunities for women to play at the Olympic level; Larry Scott did much to advance sponsor support of women's tennis while at the WTA; and the WNBA would never have seen the light of day without NBA commissioner David Stern. Iconic male coaches, such as Geno Auriemma (UConn hoops) and Anson Dorrance (North Carolina soccer), have created women's college dynasties, and fathers like Richard Williams and Peter Graf have jump-started the careers of some of women's sports greatest figures.
Fathers of all backgrounds are nurturing the sports careers of their daughters in ways that were unimaginable 40 years ago. Boys and men appear regularly in the stands and make up a sizeable percentage of the television audience for women's sporting events. Influential male executives in sports management, higher education, television and corporate America are quietly making decisions that are shaping opportunities for gifted women's athletes. Men are also determining, in large measure, the amount of media coverage women's sports get and, through hiring decisions, are influencing opportunities for female executives in sports leadership roles.
Because men's involvement in women's sports is so pronounced, any conversation about the future that doesn't include substantial male input is an incomplete exercise, which is why I want to continue to make men part of the discussion in a column on espnW.com called Man Up.
I plan to talk with prominent male sports executives so we can hear their ideas and perspectives about where women's sports are headed and what it will take to get them to the next level. You may also hear from a male voice or two from outside the sports world, so we can identify some of the perceptions casual male observers have about female athletes. (Come back Monday to check out my first interview, which will be with Golden State Warriors president and COO Rick Welts, one of the NBA's top executives who played a key role in the formation of the WNBA.)
My hope is these insights will offer new -- and candid -- thinking to women's sports leaders as they develop business strategies and will lead to practical solutions about what will be needed in order for women's sports to keep growing.
Behind every successful woman is herself (or so it's said); behind every successful women's sports venture are a least a few good men. Let's hear what some of them have to say.

XXC off and running
By Michael Heben
Cleveland State Univ-ersity Women's Cross Country coach, Shawna Evans has three simple goals for this season: stay healthy, improve times and improve attitudes.
Evans herself was a standout runner for Cleveland State from 1996-98. She was named Runner of the Year by the Athletic Alumni Association. Now Evans is focusing on guiding her Cleveland State team to the top of the Horizon League.
The Vikings have a solid roster of 12, but have only two seniors, which means as they gain more experience they can only get better.
Juniors Rachel Smith and Shariah Pratt, as well as sophomores Lyndsay Bukovec, Julene Nickoloff and Vanessa Anna have consistently turned out the best times so far this season.
Bukovec has turned out the fastest times in two of the Viking's three meets so far this season, while Smith led the team in the other.
Evans said the team practices daily running up to eight miles, and also use swim workouts to improve strength and conditioning.

I just got back from a wonderful 7 day, Mexico cruise. The food was pretty good in the main dining room. That is unless we ordered meat. My husband ordered steak twice, top sirloin, both times it was tough and chewy with little flavor, almost tasted boiled. My daughter ordered prime rib. So fiberous it was hard to cut. But this is the kicker. Friday night my meat tasted..off.., and my daughter said the same thing. Just tasted well past fresh and had a bad smell to it. Neither of us could eat it. The waiter offered us other dishes but we had lost our appetite.
I have never had "bad" food on a cruise before. Other than that everything was great and I expect it won't keep me from traveling RCCL. Has anyone else had bad food experiences with this line?
That must have been horrifying ... I have never had bad meat on a cruise - actually ... I have never ever had bad meat.
I guess it can happen.My last rccl cruise was excellent and I know my husband enjoyed a steak a few times.
Returned from a cruise to Panama Canal early in December on the Brilliance of the Seas and the food was terrible each night in the dining room. We've sailed on several other RC ships and the food was great. The food was unedible several nights including overcooked, tough shoe-leather like steak and undercooked lobster. Thinking of sailing other lines since RC did nothing about it except make excuses and defend the chefs.
I was thinking about it, and it really had nothing to do with the cooking, and everything to do with the quality of the meat. I wonder if the chef buys the stuff or it is just sent to him.
Actually, Miami makes the decision on which vendor is used for all food supplies. We asked that question when we were on a gally tour on the Voyager in December. The executive chef told us he only makes suggestions. They have different vendors for different products. Like produce, meats, can goods, etcetera. The people that prepare the food should know the quality. There's no excuse for serving customers poor quality food. If it ever happens to me, I'm taking my plate to the Hotel Director while it's still warm.
That explains why there was such a discreprency between the meat and the fresh produce. I was continually impress with the freshness of the fruits and veggies.
