grahaman27 - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkFanless + 13 hour battery life? Man would this have shut up all the critics early on if they had known. Reply
Wilco1 - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkI think the myth that A15 is a powerhog as claimed by Anand is properly debunked now. 13 hours battery life!!! That's significantly better than any Chromebook so far, including the Baytrail variants which get just 8 hours using a similar 11 inch screen. Reply
Egg - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkWhat...? Something with an A15 in it having great battery life is not evidence. We need a proper comparison - with real measurements.
Also A15 being a power hog was relative to other ARM CPUs. Reply
ToTTenTranz - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkI didn't think we'd ever see a 32bit ARM CPU in a consumer product using PAE to attain 4GB of RAM.
Not now that 64bit cores are right around the corner, at least. Reply
N8SLC - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkTegra K1 is a 64-bit solution. Reply
lilmoe - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkNot this one. It comes in models: K1 with 4x Cortex A15 (32bit), and K1 with 2x Denver cores (64 bit).
While the 64bit version isn't out yet, this one is absolutely exceptional so far. Too bad it's wasted on a Chromebook... Reply
name99 - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkNot these K1's. Didn't you see? These are A15 based. Reply
N8SLC - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkI missed that! Thanks for the correction. Reply
asoltesz - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - linkI believe the two Tegra K1 variants are pin-compatible, so it will be very easy for Acer to upgrade to the 64bit Denver variant when it becomes available later this year. Reply
flashpowered - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkI have an Acer C720 and use it more frequently than my ThinkPad. In use however a few shortcomings have become apparent and I'd really rather see a more premium Chromebook than more plasticky models.
I'd really like to see: 64GB of storage, 13" IPS 1080p display, metal chassis and a backlit keyboard. I'd happily pay £500 for that device. I guess what I'm describing is an Aspire S7 but with lower specs and Chrome OS.
Increasingly I'm of the opinion that I'll end up with a Macbook Air but it's not the device I want. With the Chromebook I could lose it and just buy another. That makes it the perfect portable in my eyes, but I want them to be a bit more useful and a lot tougher. My C720 goes in a Belkin sleeve with my shoulder bag and regularly there is a stripe on the screen where it has been compressed by the keyboard edge. If manufacturers are going to chase low end customers rather than diversify then I think some opportunities are being lost. Reply
systemBuilder - Friday, October 17, 2014 - linkI agree that the old thinkpads were great, but the new ones all suck with horrible keyboards and scratchpads and for the backlight, for any laptop now, can buy a $3 USB articulating lamp at IKEA that plugs into the USB port and does what a thinklight does now. Thinkpads, RIP. Reply
TheJian - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkIntel isn't winning ANYTHING in chromebooks. They are giving away 1.15B in chips for 50million in revenue. You are losing 1.1B just to sell these things. Which pretty much means you are PAYING people to use your chip. I don't call that winning anything. Baytrail is a loser, and the 1.1B in mobile losses shows it. They'll hit their 40mil tablet goal all right, but it will cost them BILLIONS in giveaways to do it...LOL. The move to 14nm will change nothing as ARM will hit 20nm even before that. The goal posts move for both sides. The only way Intel will stop arm is to BUY Nvidia and something tells me Microsoft or Google would win first. MS has nokia and makes surface now, so owning the soc is a great idea and they make enough yearly now ($22B) to buy them with pretty much 1yrs worth of income. Google a bit tougher but might be a better fit for NV anyway, as they already want DirectX dead (both sides) and desire to push OpenGL. Google also has devices so again a good fit, not to mention motorola surely gets socs here too. With Intel, though the best fit (imagine a 14nm ARM M1, or GPU shortly and how that would cripple the rest at 20nm), it would be tough due to the company hate between them.
But again, Intel isn't TAKING design wins. They are BUYING them and accelerating MOBILE LOSSES (up from ~937mil last q loss)...ROFL. Reply
thesavvymage - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkyour post has so many illogical business recommendations. Intel knows what they are doing better than YOU know what they are doing. Stop trying to think you know better. There is no big picture synergy to MS or Google buying nvidia. Reply
TheJian - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - linkhttp://blogs.barrons.com/techtraderdaily/2014/05/0...
JP Morgan agrees. As do many others. I'm sure shareholders agree too. You'd be making 13B+ per year instead of 9.xBil if you dropped mobile. The only way to stop this is to buy Nvidia.
""We continue to believe mobile is a money pit for Intel," says Danely."
Note his discussion of TI exiting and now reaching new highs in margins etc. You're completely ignoring MONEY, which is what intel is in business to make ;)
It is illogical to you to save 4.4Billion dollars in losses per YEAR? The losses are accelerating as I noted up from 929mil in Q1, now at 1.1B per quarter.
They are already mulling it over themselves...LOL. Though they likely won't say it publicly any time soon. When Investment houses start saying you need to leave, how can you call me ILLOGICAL? You must be ignoring the losses and the news.
"Intel is said to have lost $2.4 billion on mobile last year and plans to lose more this year as it pays mobile OEMs to use its chips."
We already know those numbers are blowing up now. PAYING people to use your stuff is a recipe for success to you?...LOL. Whatever.
"If a Intel is locked out of high-end hand-set manufacturers by its business model, and reduced to competing at the low end with its very high fixed costs, it is going to lose a bundle."
Yep, can't agree more. Losing a BUNDLE 2 quarters after these remarks.
"The mobile and communications group saw a $3.1 billion operating loss in 2013, with 1Q14 losses hitting $929 million and revenues at $156 million."
Now those numbers are 1.1B loss on 50mil revenue. You are COMPLETELY going the wrong way, and giving them away even WORSE than the quarter before now. How bad will it be next Quarter? Did you just skip math class or what?
Both google and MS sell devices. For MS it's nokia/surface (both use socs right?), and google with nexus devices also a don't forget motorola probably still gets some preferential treatment too even if owned by Lenovo now. You've never heard of Vertical Integration? Get everything you can IN HOUSE. IE, Samsung makes 68% of the crap in their mobile devices, and hence they profit TONS vs. competition. Owning the soc would allow both MS/Google to drive the price down further on their products or make more on them not to mention owning datacenter gpus (NV owns top 15 green 500, many top 500 supercomputers also using telsa), and 65% of discrete market, 85%+ workstation market gpus etc. DATACENTER is huge for both of these two. MS will continue to lose tons on mobile until they join the arm/android race. Don't forget they make $5 per lic anyway, might as well JOIN them if you can't BEAT them right? Great logic. MS could start possibly branding their own servers or at the least using their own gpus then in boxes for all their datacenter needs at a reduced price. Clearly you don't get the logic here. You don't see how NVidia fits for both of these two? Google pushing gaming too (androidL+AEP), so why not own the top gpu and just block others or at least bend them to your will. IE, as K1 etc (desktop gpus) take over ARM ecosystem you could force samsung to stop forking if they want to use your chips and do the same to anyone else wanting them (or they just get left behind in gaming each year even worse by M1, V1 etc or whatever they call them). We've seen now S805 doesn't even touch K1 and they aren't in a device yet. S810 won't change this either and S810 is a die shrink, so it will have to deal with NV's shrink too. They will gain nothing. It's clear NV is a soc leader for at least tablets, and will likely start to take some desktops eventually just as chromebooks took 21% of ALL NOTEBOOK sales. 90% of google's store revenue is GAMES. The best gpus don't fit in this situation? ROFL. Really? 80%+ at apple, and 60%+ at amazon's stores.
Apple could buy them too I guess (CASH even), I just think they are probably working on their own gpu to get rid of Imagination but I could be wrong. They would get cheap gpus, socs, server tech etc then too, since they'd use their own still just better and again block others from using NV tech. How badly would that move hurt Intel sales? They'd be stuck with AMD stuff only then right? Mac sales probably go up with a move like that. Blocking google from using K1 not a bad idea either before they REALLY get gaming going on android with AndroidL+64bit etc, PSU's, heatsink/fans on them in 500w-1000w boxes just like PC's but with a free OS and no Intel premiums. Apple's problems with Android are growing, so wise to take out one of their best parts that will help Google push android into gaming (NV GPUS) for years to come.
MS might be able to update their console with 20nm M1 or something also, if sales of the x86 one keep sucking wind vs. sony they could release an ARM box that is even more powerful a few years from now. As Android/Arm hits 14nm consoles will look even worse than they do now right? They are already a tough sell, with android having cheaper games and units and as power amps at 20nm and then 14nm not long after these will become nearly impossible to sell to all but hardcore console fans. We know hardcore is less than half of those sales, the last half of their life is bought by casual users as price drops and more games are out. With $60 games, I suspect many in the last half of the years of this generation of consoles will be buying android devices to play $20 or less games that are just as fun and look great.
You're not making sense. There are many ways NV fits into all 3 companies if only to block each other from using this stuff and further hurt Intel (MS has no love for Intel, they are partners but not friends, and Intel already defected to android so surely they want to stab Intel ASAP). I could go on, but you should get the point. Most importantly I'm not alone saying Intel should exit a terrible business loss. JP Morgan stupid? LOL. Reply
Morawka - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linki dont think intel has enough money to buy Nvidia. Sure they have a lot of revenue, but they have a shit ton of overhead with Thousands of employee's across the globe, and around 20 factories/laboratories to pay the light bills on. Reply
s44 - Monday, August 11, 2014 - link"This is the first ARM Chromebook we have seen in a while"
Just totally wrong. You mention Samsung's original ARM model but not the two refreshed ones released just this summer, one of which, at 4gb/$400/3lb/1080p is the most direct competition for this?
Way to start off your AT career. Reply
Stephen Barrett - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkno reason to be mean :)
You're right. I've updated the article in a few places to address this. Reply
aryonoco - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkHey, AT readers are a tough crowd.
I thought the article was well done. A very good first piece, Stephen.
Tegra K1 and ChromeOS. Interesting. You get the feeling that Chromebooks have some real momentum behind them now. All the "analysts" wrote it off when it came out in 2010, but times, they are a-changin...
You do get the feeling that that amazing GPU is "lost" mostly while running ChromeOS though. Sure, WebGL could always take off, but it hasn't yet, and right now, I'd say single-threaded CPU performance is more important running ChromeOS, and so Haswell still wins.
But 11 hours battery and fanless is tempting. If that high-end model had an IPS screen, it would be so close to the "perfect" Chromebook. As it is, I fear it's going to be another low-quality TN display like that 1080p one in the new Samsung. Reply
asoltesz - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - linkI fully agree about the need for an IPS display in higher-end CBs. That was/is one of the big strengths of the HP Chromebook 11 (it is a pitty that it is mostly crippled by that Exynos 5250).
A HLP CB11 with a Tegra K1 could be a very strong contender in the 11" crowd. (If the price remains the same)
That Kepler GPU may get better utilized when Chromebooks start support Android apps (which seems to be on the table now). Reply
Alexey291 - Friday, August 15, 2014 - linkyeah I remember these points (IPS vs SOC) pretty much being the decider when I was buying my HP14 and was really tempted for HP11 (for a better screen)...
Eventually though the ability to install chrubuntu and steam (for home streaming) kinda won so I got HP14 in the end :) Reply
TheJian - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - linkhttp://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model-datashee...
Acer with Haswell 2955 says 8.5hr for 3950mah, but only 11.6in and 1366x768.
Acer K1 13in with 1080p, 3220mah but 11.5hr. I think haswell 2955 loses based on the specs.
I think it's safe to say Intel lost. Smaller screen, lower res AND far bigger battery but 3hrs off the battery life? That's a loss right? So 2955u means nothing.
$299 2955u model has 7.5hr life and a larger psu (65w vs. K1 45w). Same 2GB 32GB ssd, so not sure how to explain this other than Intels sucks more power.
4GB/32GB SSD K1 13in model also 11.5hr 45w psu. Intel sucks more power right?
Intel, PowerVR and Qcom all seem behind now. Denver should improve things more in Nov as it drops the 4+1 A15, for plain dual firstname.lastname@example.com and is in house or NV has failed at making a cpu ;) I'm guessing success or google wouldn't be going with them for HTC Nexus 9 in nov. Reply
Guest8 - Saturday, August 16, 2014 - linkThat is until Cherrytrail comes out next year on 14nm Reply
bleh0 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkI still haven't found a use case for a chromebook but from what I've read about Tegra K1 it is quite an amazing SoC. I'm tempted to try this model out just because the K1 is powering it. Reply
Morawka - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linkFinally a $300 1080p chromebook Wow i'm getting one. Reply

Student-Athlete Spotlight: QB Ryan Becker
PHILADELPHIA - In Penn's last visit to Brown Stadium, the Bears ended the second-longest Ivy League winning streak of all-time. On Saturday, in front of a national television audience, the Quakers (4-2, 3-0 Ivy) will look to avenge that loss and extend another lengthy Ivy win streak. The defending Ivy champions have won seven straight league games and are currently one of two unbeaten teams in the Ancient Eight. Kickoff is at 12:30 p.m. on the Fox College Sports Network.
The Penn-Brown Series—82nd Meeting
In recent years, the Bears have served as Penn's toughest opponent. The Quakers are 3-5 in the last eight meetings with Brown, which includes a last-minute come-from-behind win over the Bears at Franklin Field last season. Penn has also lost three of the last four in Providence with the only win in the last decade coming in overtime, 14-7, in 2009. In addition, in the last two meetings at Brown Stadium, the Quakers have scored a total of seven points in regulation. Overall, Penn leads the series 57-22-2 and is 17-13-1 at Brown Stadium. Coach Bagnoli is 12-9 (.571) against the Bears—his lowest winning percentage against any Ivy League team.
Team October
When the calendar turns to October, the Quakers have been nearly unbeatable in recent years. Since 2008, the Red and Blue are 23-4 (.852) in the month of October and have not lost an Ivy home game in October since a triple overtime defeat to No. 16 Yale (26-20) on Oct. 20, 2007.
Fox College Sports
This is Penn's second appearance on Fox College Sports. The first was Oct. 1, 2011—the first-ever night game at Dartmouth's Memorial Field. Penn won, 22-20, with an 89-yard game-winning drive capped with the winning touchdown with 17 seconds left. Overall, Penn is 21-9 all-time on national television.
1,113 Days
Senior Ryan Becker went more than three years between starts, but led the Quakers to victory last week. Prior to Saturday, Becker's last start was Oct. 9, 2010 at Bucknell—a 31-10 win. That is a span of 1,113 days between starts or three years and 17 days. He served as the backup to Billy Ragone in 2010 and 2011 and played in 15 games. In 2012, he missed the entire season with a knee injury. Overall, Becker is 3-0 in his collegiate career as a starter. He also started the 2010 season opener which the Quakers won, 19-14, over Lafayette.
No. 150
Last week marked the 150th career Ivy League game for Coach Bagnoli, who is the third-winningest active head coach in the FCS and arguably the greatest coach in Ivy League history. He owns the highest Ivy winning percentage of any coach since the inception of the League in 1956. Only one man has won more games at an Ivy school than his 146 career wins at Penn (Yale's Carm Cozza, 179), and in the 150 games versus Ivy opponents, Bagnoli's Quakers have won an astonishing 110 of them. That record amounts to a winning percentage of .733—which marks the highest success rate of any man to ever coach in the Ivy League.
Winning Ways
With a win on Saturday, Penn would clinch yet another season at .500 or better under head coach Al Bagnoli. In 22 years under Bagnoli, the Quakers have had just one losing campaign (4-6 in 2007). In fact, Penn has won at least six games in 15 of his 21 years at the helm, including six perfect Ivy seasons and three overall unbeaten seasons.
Coaching Changes
Over the last 22 years, every man who has taken a head coaching job in the Ivy League has lost to Al Bagnoli. Prior to Saturday, there was one exception—Yale's Tony Reno. The Bulldogs had won the only head-to-head meeting between the two coaches in 2012. Since Coach Bagnoli took over at Penn in 1992, the other seven schools have combined for 23 different head coaches and every Ivy school has had at least one coaching change (17 total). Bagnoli has beaten five different coaches at Cornell and four different coaches at Columbia (he's beaten Pete Mangurian at both those schools). He will face Cornell's David Archer for the first time during the 2013 season finale.
For the second straight road game, the Quakers will be up against a Homecoming crowd. Penn was also the Homecoming visitor at Columbia on Oct. 19, but came out on top, 21-7. Following Brown's Homecoming on Saturday, the Quakers will then have their third Homecoming game in four weeks when they hold their own Homecoming festivities at Franklin Field. Penn will honor five different teams with Ivy championship anniversaries—1983, 1988, 1993, 1998 and 2003.
Opening Drives
Penn has not allowed an opening-drive touchdown to an Ivy opponent in more than five years. The last team to do so was Brown on Nov. 1, 2008. In fact, since that time (49 games), the Quakers have allowed just two opening-drive touchdowns—both off offensive turnovers in the red zone—Lafayette needed to go just 14 yards to score in the 2012 season opener and William & Mary went just 12 yards on Oct. 12.
Quick Quaker Notes
Penn has won seven straight Ivy League games and nine of its last 10 against Ancient Eight opponents—its only loss over the last two seasons was at Yale last year on Oct. 20 ... The Quakers have forced a turnover in each of their last eight Ivy games and 21 total in that time (14 interceptions, seven fumbles) ... Penn has won nine straight games when leading at the half dating back to the 2011 season finale ... Penn is 4-0 in their alternate red jerseys ... Penn has won 14 of its last 15 Ivy home games ... Penn has scored at least 20 points in 21 of its last 23 Ivy games ... The Quakers have a sack in nine straight games ... Penn's opponent has scored first in each of the last five games.
Streaking Quakers
Senior Billy Ragone has thrown a touchdown pass in 11 straight starts ... Last week, senior wideout Ryan Mitchell had his streak snapped at 25 straight games with a catch ... Seniors Jake Schwertner and Steve Szostak have started 16 straight games together on the left side of the line ... Sophomore Austin Taps has a sack in three straight games and in four of the five games he has played this year ... Junior Spencer Kulcsar has a touchdown in five of the last seven games.
Rising in the Record Books
Senior wideouts Ryan Mitchell and Conner Scott each hit 1,000 career receiving yards this season and continue to climb Penn's all-time receiving charts. Mitchell has recently cracked Penn's all-time top 10 in career receiving yards with 1,225 (five away from ninth) and is a catch away from the all-time top 10 in receptions with 89. Teammate Conner Scott has 80 career catches (12th at Penn) for 1,011 yards (17th).
Ragone in the Record Books
Each week, it seems senior quarterback Billy Ragone hits a new milestone. In his last start, he set a school record his 55th career touchdown (20 rush, 35 pass) to pass Gavin Hoffman's 12-year-old school standard (4 rush, 50 pass). Also at Columbia, Ragone's 35th touchdown pass broke a tie for third-most in Penn history with Jimmy McGeehan (1991-93). In the Ivy opener, the Cheshire, Conn., native became the second player in Penn's 137-year history with 6,000 career yards of total offense. He now has 6,526 total yards and trails only Hoffman's school standard of 7,188. During the season opener, Ragone became the third passer in school history with 4,000 career pass yards when he joined Hoffman (7,542) and Mike Mitchell (5,547) as the only Penn quarterbacks to reach that milestone. His 745 career pass attempts are good for second place all-time at Penn, and his 424 career completions place him third all-time.
Fourth Quarter Comebacks:
With a dramatic four-overtime win over Dartmouth in the Ivy opener, senior quarterback Billy Ragone has now engineered nine career game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime. Eight of them have come against the Ivy League—where, realistically, the Ivy title was on the line—and three of those came on the road. Last year, the Quakers trailed by multiple scores in the fourth quarter of three games, but scored two touchdowns in the final 7:27 to beat Columbia, two field goals in the final 2:12 to beat Brown, and two touchdowns in the final 7:31 to beat Princeton. Ragone is 18-4 (.818) as a starter against the Ivy League.
NCAA Record
No program in the history of college football—at any level—has played more games than Penn. Every time they play, the Quakers set an NCAA record. Saturday's game will be the 1,340th in the Red and Blue's illustrious history. Penn remains the only program to pass 1,300 games, hitting that mark on Oct. 31, 2009 in an overtime win at Brown. Yale is second all-time with 1,287 games played. Congrats on being a part of an NCAA record!
Last Week
Ryan Becker excelled in his first start since 2010 and kept Penn unbeaten in Ivy play with a 28-17 win over Yale on Saturday at Franklin Field. Though Yale got on the board first with a field goal, the first half was all Quakers. After a Penn punt deflected off a Yale blocker, Ian Dobbins recovered for the Quakers to give Becker and the offensive unit prime field position at the Bulldogs 33-yard line. It took just two plays from there, as Becker dropped back, hit a streaking Kyle Wilcox for a 7-3 lead at the 3:22 mark of the first quarter. The lead extended to 11 when Becker hit senior wideout Conner Scott in the endzone from 29 yards out. Leading by 11 at the break, Penn took the ball 79 yards in just 2:23 to expand the lead to 18 points at the start of the third. Spencer Kulcsar punched it in untouched from the two. Later in the quarter, the Quakers went 70 yards, 63 of which came on the ground, for yet another touchdown and a 28-3 lead with 1:33 left in the third quarter. Yale closed to within 28-17 in the fourth, but a pair of red zone interceptions from Sam Chwarzynski clinched the game for the Quakers.
A Penn Win Today Would…
... be the third straight overall.
... be the fourth in the last five games over Brown.
... mark the fourth straight Ivy road win.
... improve the Quakers to 5-2 overall and 4-0 in the Ivy League.
A Penn Loss Today Would…
... snap a seven-game winning streak against Ivy opponents.
... be the fourth in five games at Brown Stadium.
... drop the Quakers to 4-3 overall and 3-1 in Ivy play.
… be less good than a win.
Up Next
A Homecoming showdown between first-place teams. Regardless of the outcomes this week, Penn and Princeton will be playing for first place at Franklin Field next week. Kickoff is set for noon on the Penn Sports Network.

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 5.15.14
Welcome to Thursday's The Crap We Missed where after my brief hiatus from tit scouting yesterday, I expected to find a treasure trove of celebrity schadenfreude, but was disappointed. I probably blew my load on Peter Dinklage (Easy, Fish, I was just using a metaph– *grabs slingshot* YOU STAY ON YOUR BUNK OR I'M TELLING MOM!) up there, but after him there's Cee-Lo Green on how many seconds it takes for his patented formula to dissolve, Lamar Odom probably heading to church, just a hunch, and Nick Jonas, all-around man's man, just tossin' the pigskin around.
Even Jon Hamm let me down today. Come on man, you know they sprang for the extra wax down there,

(Interesting side note from the interview--notice he talks about the difference in taper strategy for a high mileage runner coming down from 120-140 miles versus a low mileage runner like himself who normally only puts in about 75 mpw.)
Personally I'm rooting for BadDawg to take down my PR and Scully to make me go "WOW."
Runners run.
Does Scully have a goal? He ought to run something pretty damn amazing.

I think that the direction this thread should take is for everyone running Boston to post their numbers...root for a fellow RunningAhead runner!

Yep -- they are legitimate contenders. I'm sorry I won't get to watch the race; should be exciting.
Wesley Korir. He won last year in brutal conditions and he's a Louisville alum--and they're having a pretty good year.
+1. I am a Wesley Korir FAN. Not only is he one tough runner, but he is a good man.

We are fragile creatures on collision with our judgment day.
Well damn, somehow I missed it when Meb withdrew.
I think the answer is, root for the women.
Yep...apparently his calf muscle became injured after an encounter with a dog. It's nice to know elites deal with the same jackassery that we mortals do sometimes, but it still makes me angry at the dog owner (though, to the owner's credit, it was at least leashed).
Rest assured, I am fully on team Goucher/Flanagan! I'm in awe of their talent, and they seem like really great people besides - not a whiff of arrogance or bravado that I can tell. And I can't wait to see what Desi can do once she finally gets over that injury.
Just casting about for someone on the XY side. I was really impressed with Korir last year, can't believe it didn't occur to me he'd be there, too. Sounds good. Go Wesley!
I am rooting for Jason Hartmann.
And you can quote me as saying I was mis-quoted. Groucho Marx
Does Scully have a goal?
When guy is in the place he's in right now, and has been putting in the work like he has all winter, and has that lean, hungry look in his eyes like the one I saw in New Bedford...you don't ask him his goal. You just nod and say "Go get it."
Meb says maybe he will now run Bay to Breakers -- maybe I will congratulate him for the Olympics. Last year I wished him luck; I doubt he has forgotten.

Look at that nasty water. Looks like she's in a swamp.

BRITISH Transport Police (BTP) is appealing for the public's help to identify a man they would like to speak to in connection with an incident which took place at Gloucester Railway Station.
Officers have released CCTV images of a man they believe will have information which can assist the investigation into the incident which took place at the station's ticket barriers on Monday, 13 January 2014.
Investigating officer, PC Frank Hedley, said: "Station staff were checking tickets at the gateline barrier when a male passenger attempted to exit the station without clearly showing his ticket.
"Staff asked the man to show his ticket but he became abusive towards a female member of staff before pushing her out of the way as he made off from the station."
Enquiries have been ongoing to trace the man responsible for the assault but to no avail.
Officers are now appealing for anyone who knows the identity of the man in these photographs to come forward and contact BTP as they believe he will have key information which can assist the investigation.
Anyone with information is asked contact British Transport Police on Freefone 0800 40 50 40, or text 61016, quoting incident reference WWA/B4 of 10/02/14. Alternatively call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Bangalore, Aug 26 (IANS) Karnataka would soon implement the food security scheme of the UPA government once it is enacted despite its own programme for providing heavily-subsidised grain to 10 million poor families in the state, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said Monday.
"Though we are already distributing 30 kg rice for the about 10 million BPL (below poverty line) families at Re.1 per kg under the subsidised scheme since July 10, we will implement the central food security scheme after the bill is passed by parliament," he told reporters here.
Under the central government's food security scheme, the state will not only receive more quantity of foodgrains, but also get rice at Rs.3 per kg and wheat at Rs.2 per kg.
"As we have decided to distribute also 30kg of wheat per month at Re.1 per kg to BPL families in the central and northern regions of the state from Oct 2, foodgrains from the centre at subsidised rates will benefit the state exchequer and reduce buying additional quantity of rice and wheat from the open market at higher prices," Siddaramaiah said.
Interacting with media on the occasion of the Congress completing 100 days in office after the May 5 state legislative assembly election, he reiterated his government's commitment to implement all the programmes as promised in the party's poll manifesto and as proposed in the state budget for 2013-14.
He said all welfare schemes meant for the poor, farmers, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, backward classes and minorities would be taken up on priority by the respective ministries.
"Funds will be made available to the ministries concerned to implement all the welfare schemes for the needy. As we are committed to bridge the gap between the haves and have-nots, resource constraints will not be allowed to come in the way of serving the poor for the overall socio-economic development of the state," Siddaramaiah said.
Admitting that 100 days were too short a period to assess the state government's performance under the new dispensation, he said the direction in which the state was moving and progressing could be measured in terms of the decisions and actions it had taken during the last three months.
"As promised to the people of the state, we have initiated several developmental and welfare measures. Out of 160 promises made in our party's election Manifesto, we have fulfilled about 60 promises despite resource constraints," Siddaramaiah said.
Among the welfare schemes initiated are 'Manaswini' under which Rs.500 pension is given per month to unmarried women (spinsters) above 40 years and BPL women deserted by husbands and 'Mythri' under which Rs.500 is given to sexual minorities (transgenders).
"Pension adalats (courts) will be conducted at local body level in all the 30 districts across the state to resolve issues related to old age pension, widow pension and Bhagyalakshmi scheme for women," Siddaramaiah observed.
The state high power committee has cleared (Aug 22) 19 industrial projects with a combined investment of Rs.14,818 crore investments, which will create employment to about 70,000 people across the state.
"We are committed to provide equal opportunities to all sections of society with a thrust for the well being of the exploited weaker sections, including SCs, STs, BCs, minorities and women.Equality and social justice is the plank on which our government is functioning with the objective of building an egalitarian society," Siddaramaiah added.

DETROIT - A man has died after being stabbed Wednesday night on a Detroit bus.
Police said the incident happened just before 11 p.m. after the bus picked up passengers at Woodward Avenue and John R. One passenger became agitated that another was standing too close to him and pulled out a knife -- attacking the man.
The accused stabber fled the scene but was found a short time later hiding behind a building on John R.
The victim was taken to Detroit Receiving Hospital, but later died.
Police haven't released any more information on the suspect or victim.
Earlier this year, DDOT bus drivers walked off the job for hours after a driver was attacked.
Bus driver union president Henry Gaffney, of AFL-CIO Local 26, said this latest stabbing incident of a passenger is sparking more conversation about the city hiring police officers for their buses.

ImSpartacus - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkYeah, I'm not convinced on the Taichi. I applaud ASUS for innovating, but the Taichi seems like it goes a little too far. I'm satisfied with a Transformer-style design or a Yoga-style design. Reply
B3an - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkDoes the Transformer Book come with an extra battery in the dock as well? Or just the HDD? If it had both it would be epic. Reply
JasonInofuentes - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkEpic it is, then. I'll try and update with tables, but I believe the Transformer has 38Whr in the tablet and another 25Whr in the dock. Reply
B3an - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkThat is just the best! I hope you guys review it at some point, i'm sure you will.
I've also read elsewhere that theres 11" and 14" versions but you don't mention them here. Reply
Rockmandash12 - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkASUS announced the Vivo tab smart. You guys have a picture on it, but you guys don't mention it at all. It's a 10.1 inch tablet with full windows 8 atom for 500 bucks :) Reply

Visual - Thursday, October 25, 2012 - linkNone of the reviews and announcements for the Transformer Book that I've seen mention a digitizer though. That kills it for me, and if you've ever had a Wacom-enabled convertible I'm sure you'd be thinking just like me about it. Reply
JasonInofuentes - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkNone that I saw. I suspect a premium over a similarly specced Core i7 notebook. So, maybe a lot. Reply
andrewaggb - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkI want to know if it still has an nvidia graphics chip in the base. They advertised it as such back in June. If that was cut I'll be very disappointed. Reply

Excellent what? :) Reply
Aptorian - Tuesday, October 30, 2012 - linkOn here, and on the new website for the Transformer Book I see absolutely no mention of any wacom digitizers. I am utterly disappointed. Why the hell would I want to blow all that money on a 13 inch tablet if it's not pen enabled? No wacom? No compromises my arse! I guess I'm buying a Samsung then. Reply

V-Money - Wednesday, February 08, 2012 - linkYou're right, I went to check and see if mine did. I was disappointed when it said still said 16, then I realized it was just finishing the install. Reply
EnzoFX - Wednesday, February 08, 2012 - linkMine hasn't rendered pages in the background for a good while now. I really liked this. Made loading favorites so great. The only thing it renders as you type is google search results =/. Reply
Ankou - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkSo if you type "do " with the space in Google search even without pressing enter, the new more aggressive prerendering will load "do a barrel roll" and spin your display. :/ Reply
emilemil1 - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkChrome doesn't display the prerendered page until you confirm your selection. Google Search is an exception for some reason. This is most likely because it would be very annoying if your screen flashed between multiple websites as you type a long address.
You can see the difference in loading speed with a simple test. For example by copying the address of a website that is known to load slowly, restarting the browser, and then pasting the address into the Omnibar and press enter in quick succession, giving Chrome no time to prerender. Compare that to typing the address (until Chrome guesses the one you want) and then waiting a while before pressing enter. The page should appear with virtually no delay, as you have given Chrome time to load everything by waiting before confirming your selection. Reply
diennguyen - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkTouch Support! Finally - no more third party extension! There is minor bug with scoll bar though. Reply
FiveO - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkwhy did they removed the + icon for creating a new tab. Older or non-power users will never again click there (also CTRL & T doesn't get into many heads) Reply

damianrobertjones - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkDear Google,
If I decide to un-install Chrome from a computer that has managed to install you from one of the many sneaky ways PLEASE un-install properly.
- Don't leave your update services on the pc. Remove them. Disable them at least
- Please properly reset the default programs list so people using Outlook can click links.
Thanks Reply
kmmatney - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - link"- Please properly reset the default programs list so people using Outlook can click links."
This one got me. I installed Chrome on my machine (normal install, not sneaky) and recently uninstalled it. After uninstalling, all hyperlinks in outlook failed. I eventually figured it out, but it was trickier than you would expect. Just setting IE9 as the default browser when using IE9 didn't work. You had to actually run the "Default Programs" applet and manually reset things.
I un-installed it to give Safari a try with Windows 7. I have to admit, Safari is very good - seems as fast as Chrome. The only thing I don't like is it's not obvious how to start a new tab. Reply

Comentários sobre a acomodação
Alloggio sito in una strada di un quartiere tranquillo e ben collegato alla città.
La strada è stretta con qualche difficoltà di manovra per auto di grosse dimensioni.
L'alloggio è ottimo per 2 persone considerando che la scala per accedere al soppalco è di tipo navale ( senza corrimano ). Il 3 letto è ricavato in una mini stanza con spazi ristretti..( ci si deve adattare) Nessuna difficoltà per i cani( previo avviso)
Ottima l'accoglienza del proprietario e la dotazione interna.Tv e impianto stereo a disposizione.Una libreria ben fornita.
Grazia ist echt freundlich und auch die Lage des Studios fand ich nicht schlecht.
Allerdings könnte es definitiv sauberer sein.
Wir fanden dreckiges Geschirr vor und staubige Möbel, unter dem Bett lag gar noch Abfall rum.
Trotzdem besten Dank an den Vermieter.
Einfach in Zukunft das Studio etwas sauberer halten
The loft is really a refugium-calm and friendly. After 5 minutes walk: A marvelous view on the sea, having a cup of coffee or a wonderful meal in a restaurant directly beside the sea! The bus or the train brings you in a short time along the coast into the middle of this ancient town.-The hosts are helpfull and destingue...
Comentários sobre outras ofertas desse anfitrião.
Really central in Nice ,and we even got a tour when we arrived to check out some pearls in Nice and the coast.
The apartment had air condition, fridge and everything that we wanted to.
The wifi didnt worked well at this time, but we used mcdonalds. Maybe we could have wifi in the apartment, but it was not for free.
Although a really good impression and a good and friendly hospitality !
We had a very bad stay because the advertisement does not corespond with the reallity .
Bad points
We found the apartment dirty and not cleaned toilet and kitchen had bad smell full of hair on the bad and in drowars/wardrobe
The apartment is not renovated since at least some decades but is partialy newly refurnished to be accurate.
NO PARKING available !!!! (public parking in Massena cost 23 euro?) street parking is never available in high season.
Internet is not working because there is no orange signal in the building (internet is not WIFi is based on GSM 3G -internet stick)
NO BALCONY/terrace !!!! contrary with the add
Good points
The apartment is very good positioned and the bed where very confortable
On a eu un mauvais séjour parce que la présentation ne correspond pas avec la réalité. l'appartement n'était pas propre, mauvaise odeur dans la cuisine et dans la toilette. plein de poil dans les lits et dans les tiroirs.
pas de renovation intérieure, seulement qqs nouvelles pièces de mobilier
PAS de Parking. pour se garer il faut trouver un place a Massena (23 euro par jour). aucun possibilité de garer sa voiture dans la rue dans la saison.
L'internet ne marche pas (aucun signal orange dans l'immeuble) il y a une clef 3G, pas de WIFI.
pas de terrasse contrairement le descriptif sur ce site
sinon très bien positionne, lit très confortable
Gianluca, a very nice host, picked us up at the Airport and drove to the apartment, which is very nice with big bathroom, nice kitchen and one living room with beds.
Very near to the beach and also walking distance to the Old Town and the City Center. Bus station just a few minutes away.
Casino and Intermarche food stores also very near.
We recomend this apartment.
Ingrid and Thomas
Very nice, clean and comfortable apartment in a great point of NICE. Near the sea, shops, railway station and even bus to the airport. Hosts very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend
Myself, my husband and our 2 and a half year old son really enjoyed our stay in Nice, it was our first time and we found it perfect for a couple with a young child, great weather and beaches plus the buzz of a city/ museums etc.
The apartment location was excellent, with the beach a 5 min walk away and also easy to walk to the old town, main shopping area and train station and a small supermarket 1 minute from the apartment.
The apartment was a fine size for us as a small family and it was useful have the lift (with us having a pushchair) and having a bath as well as shower attachment (made it easier with our toddler).
We cooked a lot of our own meals, the oven is great (nice and large, and clearly fairly new, with gas range and electric oven)
We hadn't quite understood how the sleeping arrangement worked in advance (there are two large sofabeds in the living area that convert into beds, one a kingsize and one a double, these were clearly fairly new and very comfortable).
The apartment is in a nice street and was very peaceful at night.
Grazia and Gianluca were very friendly and offered to pick us up and drop us off at the airport, as well as giving us lots of advice and information on where to go/ what was happening during our stay.
We had some very minor issues (a screw that kept falling out in the toilet/ problems using the wifi) but mentioned these to Grazia and Gianluca and are sure they will have fixed this by now. (For anyone who finds wifi really important I should add, we found lots of places with free wifi available, for example the shopping centre Nice Etoile has free wifi throughout and lots of the cafes we went to had a login details for their free wifi on the menu/ walls, so it wasn't really a problem)
Overall this apartment is very good value for money and a comfortable and convenient base for enjoying nice and the surrounding areas.
Super nette Gastgeber, Wohnung (1. Stock) liegt sehr zentral (3 Minuten zum Negresco), Supermarkt und Bäckerei um die Ecke - Betten sind zwei Ausziehsofas, insgesamt würden wir die Wohnung wieder anmieten
- Qualidade do alojamento garantida
- Todos os anfitriões são verificados por telefone
- Pagamento seguro, certificado SSL

Did you know?
The Western Cape is home to two oceans: the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
Sea kayaking is a popular mode of exploration in the Western Cape. It's an activity that allows for exercise, relaxation and sightseeing.
Whales, dolphins, sharks, sunfish and seals are just some of the marine wildlife that are common in these parts, while a superb blend of urban and natural landscapes offers an excellent backdrop along most kayaking routes.
In and around Cape Town, there are numerous operators offering sea-kayaking trips.
Simon's Town, approximately 30 minutes' from the Cape Town city centre, boasts a penguin colony as well as fantastic kayaking conditions. Simon's Town's Sea Kayak Trips offers the opportunity to view this fantastic stretch of coastline from the sparkling blue waters that surround it.
Experienced and energetic paddlers will enjoy the Cape Point kayaking tour, run by the same company.
Langebaan, a West Coast town 90 minutes' drive from Cape Town, is a great destination for first-time sea kayakers. Gravity Adventures has a sea-kayak rack on the beach and rents kayaks, life jackets and oars for sessions that range from an hour to a full day. The waters of this bay are very gentle, allowing even novices to quickly adapt to sea kayaking.
Hermanus, approximately two hours drive east of Cape Town, is known for offering the best land-based whale watching in the world. Walker Bay Adventures has been taking explorers on sea-kayaking trips along the coast of Hermanus for the past 13 years.

New York -- Tiffany & Co.'s fourth-quarter net income inched up 0.7%, but its results still topped analysts' predictions as strong demand in Asia helped to offset domestic weakness. The company also offered an annual sales outlook that topped analysts' estimates, citing its strong prospects in most Asian markets.
For the quarter ended Jan. 31, Tiffany earned $179.6 million, compared with $178.4 million in the year-ago period. Revenue increased 4% to $1.24 billion.
"While financial results in fiscal 2012 were disappointing due to lower-than expected sales growth and pressures on gross margin, we continued to maintain a longer term focus on strengthening global awareness of the Tiffany & Co. brand," said Michael J. Kowalski, Tiffany's chairman and CEO.
Total sales in the Americas region, which represented 48% of the company's total revenue last year, rose 2% to $620 million in the fourth quarter and 2% to $1.8 billion in the full year. Same-store sales were down 2% in the fourth quarter and the full year.
Sales in Tiffany's New York flagship fell 3% in both the quarter and full year, and were down 2% at its branch locations for both periods.
In the Asia-Pacific region, total sales increased 13% to $254 million in the fourth quarter and 8% to $810 million in the full year.
In Europe, total sales rose 3% to $146 million in the fourth quarter due to mixed performance by country and also rose 3% to $432 million or 11% of worldwide sales in the full year.
The New York-based jewelry company also says it expects its first-quarter earnings from operations will fall about 15% to 20% as a result of profitability pressures and higher marketing costs, but pick up later in the year.

Distinguished Flying Cross Citation
21 December 1972 — Haiphong, Vietnam
The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the
DISTINGUISHED FLYING CROSS to
Lieutenant Paul T. SMYTH
United States Naval Reserve
for service as set forth in the following:
"For heroism while participating in aerial flight as a pilot of jet aircraft attached to Attack Squadron THIRTY-FIVE embarked on USS AMERICA (CVA-66). On the night of 21 December 1972, Lieutenant SMYTH was assigned an all-weather single aircraft strike against a heavily defended surface-to-air missile site as part of a coordinated six-plane attack against major targets in the Haiphong military complex. With minimum planning time, he courageously executed a daring high-speed low-level attack through fierce anti-aircraft fire that tracked his aircraft the entire overland route. As he approached his targeted surface-to-air missile site, it launched a missile against his low flying aircraft. Superbly executing difficult maneuvers at perilously low altitudes, he forced the missile to miss although the ensuing detonation violently shook his aircraft. Undeterred, he tenaciously pressed a devastating attack against the site, walking his bombs directly through the target. Lieutenant SMYTH's aggressiveness in the face of determined enemy opposition, exemplary courage, and devotion to duty reflected great credit upon himself, and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service."
For the President,
B.A. Clarey
Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Daytona Beach police are looking for a purse thief who was caught on camera stealing from an SUV outside a home as the owner was unloading her groceries.
Watch: Suspect caught on video committing carbreak
Terri Hayes had just gotten home from work around 2 p.m. on Oct. 8, and left her car doors unlocked while taking grocery bags into her home.
On Hayes' home surveillance video, it takes just 20 seconds for the thief to pull into her driveway in a silver vehicle, hop out of the passenger side, peer into her SUV's windows, open a door, grab her purse and take off.
The man got away with Hayes' Social Security card, credit cards, hundreds of dollars of cash and irreplaceable pictures in her wallet.
"The picture of my mom and my brothers and sisters is on one side and my husband and our children and puppies on the other side," said Hayes, who is heartbroken over losing the pictures.
Just minutes before Hayes' purse was stolen, the suspect was caught on surveillance video at a 7-Eleven across the street from Hayes' home.
Hayes has since discovered her stolen credit cards were used at a Sunoco gas station and at a Pizza Hut for delivery to a Daytona Beach home.
No one answered Wednesday night when Local 6 knocked on the door to that home, but Daytona Beach police say the woman who lives there, Neisha Riley, told investigators that a friend of hers brought over some unknown male acquaintances and they were the ones who ordered the pizzas.
"I know I'll never get the cash back, credit cards have been cancelled, I'm not responsible for anything that was charged on there, but it would be nice to have the personal affects, which is the purse, the wallet and the pictures, returned," said Hayes.
Anyone who recognizes the man on the video is asked to call Daytona Beach police.

Hi, sitepoint masters, I need some help on the datepicker, Is it possible to put an event on the datepicker date?... I mean just like this example in this date 12/12/12, how can i put an event like "press con meeting", and this will be displayed in the date of the datepicker,if i will navigate to the specified date i can see the text "press con meeting"..is this possible to the datepicker?please help me on this.
Thank you in advance and i am hoping for your positive response.
Hi jemz,
Can you provide some example code that I can run on my computer, so that I can better understand what you are trying to achieve.
No it's not. The datepicker is for picking dates. It's not for providing a system of calendar entries.You can instead use the FullCalendar for placing entries on certain dates.
Hi paul,yes this is what i mean,..so this is what we call full calendar,I am new to this...i give a try on this,i will write back to you..if i get in trouble.
Hi pullo, thank you for the quick reply, I apologize for my bad english. :)...I thought datepicker can handle what i am trying to achieve but as what paul_wilkins said it is FullCalendar should be used,that's what i mean providing a system of calendar entries. for placing entries on certain dates... I will write back to you again,thank you so much for the quick reply.
@paul_wilkins, Is datepicker can also have the abilities to store entries,example if i click on May 2, 2013, in the datepicker it will alert "Go to dentist",but it's not the same as the full calendar,because the full calendar we can see the entries in the date.Also in the datepicker in the date May 2,2013 it will highlight the date to determine, that date has event or entries.
No problem. It sounded like you were after some kind of calendar functionality, but I wanted to be sure
Here is my code pullo, I want that if i click on the date april 01 2013,it should alert "I have a meeting".but i am confuse or i really dont know how to use the method beforeShowDay. I know that datepicker cannot do placing entries on certain date as what full calendar looks like as what paul_wilkins says...
<!DOCTYPE html>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery-ui.css">

$(function() {
$("#datepicker" ).datepicker({
beforeShowDay: function(date) {
dmy = date.getDate() + "-" + (date.getMonth()+1) + "-" + date.getFullYear();
if (dmy == "1-4-2013" || dmy == "15-4-2013"){
return [false,"","Unavailable"]
return [true, ""];

Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker" />

Hope that helps.
Hi pullo, Thank you for this,but why is it will not alert unavailable or pop-up unavailable ?how can i alert this,by using onSelect ?
Hi pullo, is it possible to have different tooltip example this date 1-4-2013 "Unavailable" and in 15-4-2013 i want this tooltip to "Meeting" and etc..
Thank you.
beforeShowDay() is called for each day in the datepicker before it is displayed.It must return an array with [0] equal to true/false indicating whether or not this date is selectable, [1] equal to a CSS class name or "" for the default presentation.
Other than that you can do what you like before te return.
beforeShowDay: function(date) {
dmy = date.getDate() + "-" + (date.getMonth()+1) + "-" + date.getFullYear();
if (dmy == "1-4-2013" || dmy == "15-4-2013"){
return [false,""]
return [true, ""];
But that would be almost unusable.
When you run my code as per post 9, the HTML generated on unselectable days looks like this:
15
It wouldn't take much to write a bit of code to get a reference to the title attribute of any  elelements with a class of "ui-state-disabled" and turn these into tool tips or popups or whatever.
Sure it's possible, but at some at point it stops being a good idea and you'll be better off using the calendar plugin that Paul linked to.
To do this just use:
if (){
} else if (){
Or use a switch statement.
Hi pullo, Thank you so much for helping me and for the quick reply

Fax: 484-395-0068
Program Overview
Immaculata University's Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.) program is designed to prepare professional nurses as leaders in administration and education in a variety of organizations. The competencies acquired through an interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary model of education prepares the M.S.N. student to practice in a complex and dynamic professional milieu.
The program of study leading to the Master of Science in Nursing is a 39-credit program, available on Immaculata's campus or at various off-campus locations. Students may choose one of two areas of specialization: nursing administration or nursing education.
Nursing Administration
The administration track educates practicing nurses who are interested in becoming entry- or middle-level managers in nursing administration or advanced management roles. The curriculum prepares the graduate for the ever-changing arena of health care by providing a sound understanding of how organizations run. Specific strategies will be identified and discussed so that there will be a smooth transition from staff nurse to nurse manager. Completion of this track plus two years of full-time employment in a nursing administrative position enables students to submit their credentials for eligibility to take the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Certified Nurse Executive Exam (formally known as the Nursing Administration).
Nursing Education
The nursing education track examines the current and future roles of nursing education in a variety of settings. The curriculum prepares graduates to teach nursing in a college setting, to provide health care counseling and teaching to a patient population, and to function in a staff development role, educating nurses on new procedures or assisting recent nursing graduates in making the transition from nursing student to registered nurse. Completion of this track plus two years of full-time employment in an academic faculty role enables students to submit their credentials for eligibility to take the National League for Nursing Certified Nurse Educator Exam.
Program Goals
- Prepare students for successful passage of certification examinations
- Provide a foundation for doctoral studies
- Promote a commitment to lifelong learning
- Promote critical analysis of theory, research, policy and organizational systems
- Develop leaders and change agents
- Enhance collaboration skills
Learning Outcomes
- Critically seek, evaluate, and develop an expanding knowledge of nursing
- Use leadership abilities, moral and ethical principles, and professional standards to guide one's own nursing practice and that of others
- Impact nursing practice through scientific inquiry and the dissemination of research findings
- Integrate concepts, models, and theories from nursing science and related disciplines into advanced nursing practice
This 39-credit program consists of courses in the following categories:
- General Core Requirements
- Nursing Concentration Courses
- Specialization Core Courses
- Cross-Disciplinary Electives
For more information, see the M.S.N. Student Handbook.
Tuition and Costs
In fall 2011, the master's degree in nursing was granted 10-year re-accreditation by the Commission of Collegiate Nursing Education, One Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 530, Washington, DC 20036, (202) 887-6791.
Admission Requirements
In addition to meeting the general requirements for admission to a master's program at Immaculata University, the minimum admission standards for the Division of Nursing include:
- Current R.N. license
- B.S.N. degree from an NLNAC- or CCNE-accredited school *
- An undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4 point scale
- Acceptable scores on the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Applicants with an undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or higher are not required to submit test scores.
- Goals statement: a one-page essay discussing your professional goals and how graduate study at Immaculata University will enable you to achieve those goals
- A current professional résumé
- Two letters of recommendation appraising your personal and professional qualities as well as capability for graduate study. References must be completed by academic professors or employers and forwarded directly to the College of Graduate Studies.
- A formal interview with the director of the M.S.N. Program
* Registered nurses from an NLNAC- or CCNE-accredited nursing program with a non-nursing baccalaureate degree may be admitted, but must meet B.S.N. equivalent competencies as outlined in the Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice (AACN, 2008) in nursing leadership, research, and community health.
These B.S.N. equivalent competencies may be met through the following two options after admission:
- Demonstrate exemplary knowledge in nursing leadership, research, and community health by successfully completing a professional portfolio (NURS 500 Professional Portfolio). The portfolio will include: 1) Documents that provide evidence of R.N. learning, progress, & achievements over time (such as CEUs, publications, honors/awards, letters from patients, families or supervisors); and 2) Responses to essay questions related to the Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice (AACN, 2008).
- Demonstrate content mastery in nursing leadership, research, or community health by successful completion of an undergraduate collegiate course from an accredited institution in the relevant subject.

Training manuals. Two hundred pages of information no one really wants to read! Can you actually make them user-friendly and easy to navigate, let alone inviting? The answer is indisputably "yes." With a little organization and some helpful tools.
Training Manuals Should Be Inviting
Why give people an uninviting, overstuffed binder that immediately says "Don't open me. Jumbled, boring stuff inside." Instead, give them something easy to use and inviting to go through. After all, isn't that the point of a training manual?
The Wrong Binder Can Leave You In a Bind
Training manuals traditionally have lots of information, so start by selecting a binder big enough to hold all your information comfortably. Make sure it has rings large enough to accommodate extra pages in case additional training material needs to be added later. You may want to include a "quick start" sheet or FAQs for users to reference. Keep it handy for them by inserting it in the inside pocket of the binder cover. Avery Heavy Duty View Binders with One Touch™ EZD™ Rings are a good choice. The rings hold up to 50% more pages than the same size round rings and the extra pockets make for easy organization.
Information Should Be Easy to Access and Read
When you have lots of information to organize, it's important to break it up into meaningful categories. Don't limit the number of sections. The more sections, the easier it is for users to access exactly the information they're looking for. If you're concerned about having to combine multiple sets of dividers in one binder, don't worry. In the past, that was a real problem. Multiple divider sets in one binder created a cluttered look and made it difficult to navigate. Plus, it really added to the time it took to put the binders together. But today, there's Avery Double-Column Ready Index Dividers. These new dividers have two layers of divider tabs, with the second layer extended farther out so you can view all the tabs at once—making them easy to access. It also comes with a Table of Contents page that has two columns on it, giving you more space for section descriptions. And the free Quick-Fill template for Microsoft® Word makes it quick and easy to enter your section titles and even add pictures or graphics to your Table of Contents page. Plus, these dividers are made stronger so they hold up to heavy use. You'll also love the new colors and stylish design that give you a neat and professional look.
So the next time you're putting together a training manual, don't settle for mundane when you can make it marvelous!

The 20 Best Beauty Products Under $50
This past year may go down as the year of experimenting with beauty. From pixie cuts to pointed talons, 2012 saw just about every trend have its 15-minutes of fame. And while there are some looks we hope to never see again (we're looking at you lilac lipstick), the following seven are ones we hope to see (and sport) in 2013.
Blame it on Draper Drama but this year was all about retro-inspired waves. We first saw them on the runways during the Fall/Winter 2012 shows and it wasn't long before the trend hit Hollywood. Take cues from Orlando Pita (who outfitted the VS Angels with their bedroom curls) and get soft, voluminous waves with a barrel curler. Since heat-styling can wreak havoc on your strands, mend split ends with a repair serum.

DETROIT - When you watch this extended and rare interview with these parents together, watch their body language.
Of course, they are uncomfortable. It has been seven weeks since their 2-year-old daughter, Bianca Jones, went missing. But they dodge questions about their possible involvement.
WATCH: Uncut interview with Bianca Jones' mother and father
For the first time, Banika Jones, says she did an extended interview with police and prosecutors last month.
And the father, D'Andre Lane, dodges questions about his claim that he was carjacked Dec. 2 in Midtown Detroit with his daughter in the back seat.
His car was found minutes later.The little girl is still missing.
The question everybody has, is how would D'Andre let thieves steal his car AND his daughter?
Of the hundreds of volunteers who searched last month, all parents say they would be shot and killed before anyone would take their child.
Police submitted a warrant request with the Wayne County Prosecutor last month.
Sources have told Local 4 that dad's story has holes and cadaver dogs hit on evidence in his house and car. The prosecutor calls this case complex and that it is still under review.
Terry Johnson, the attorney for D'Andre says he's happy it is getting a thorough review, that the prosecutor is doing her due diligence.
No sign of Bianca.
No criminal charges.
No resolution of a case that has a grip on Detroit for weeks.

SMWC Volunteers Clean Up Wabashiki
April 1st, 2014 | SMWC
Each spring, The Woods Sustainability Club at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) makes it their mission to spend a day working to preserve the Wabashiki Wetlands through their initiative, Operation: Wabashiki. For the fourth year, student volunteers will put on their gloves for the wetland clean-up along Highway 40 in West Terre Haute, Ind.
"Clean-up efforts like Operation: Wabashiki beautify our environment, bring our campus and local community together and help to preserve the wetlands that a lot of animals call home," states Kasia Wichrowska, international SMWC business administration major and member of the Sustainability Club. "Sadly, each year, there is more trash. Our goal is to work together to make positive changes to the community and the environment."
The Woods Sustainability Club extended invitations to other colleges, high schools and groups in town whose main focus is to be sustainable to participate. The public is also welcome to join in the efforts. Safety glasses, appropriate shoes and other protective ware are suggested. Coffee and snacks will be provided.
Operation: Wabashiki will take place this year on Sat., April 12, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with a rain date of Sat., April 13. Volunteers will meet at Dewey Point. For more information, email .

You're getting a tax refund, and you are ready to file. Sorry. The Internal Revenue Service isn't ready for you.
But don't go blaming the IRS. It had to wait until Congress finally approved the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 on New Year's Day. That legislation's main goal was to avert the "fiscal cliff," but it also included tax laws that apply to 2012 tax returns.
Only after the laws were final could the tax agency start updating forms, worksheets, instructions, publications and, most importantly, its computer system so that it can run our 1040s through the system.
The IRS had already announced it would begin accepting electronically filed returns, including those submitted through its Free File program, on Jan. 22. That's about a week later than usual because it knew Congress was running late.
Will the IRS be able to meet this filing season's opening-day target? Maybe. Maybe not.
On Jan. 3, the agency's website announced: "The IRS is currently reviewing the details of this week's tax legislation and assessing what impact it will have on this year's filing season. The IRS will soon make available additional information on when taxpayers can start filing 2012 tax returns."
So we wait, most of us anxiously because, as the IRS regularly notes, each year, most taxpayers do get money back from Uncle Sam.
If, however, you are ready to file, you don't necessarily have to wait on the IRS to get started. Major tax software manufacturers and tax-filing firms say they are ready to get you going.
"We've seen this drama unfold in years past, as recently as 2011," says Bob Meighan, a vice president at TurboTax. "It always raises questions for customers. What exactly does it mean for me as a tax filer?"
For a lot of taxpayers, not much.
"The reality is that most tax software filers will be unaffected. Most filers who use the easier returns are generally unaffected," says Meighan.
And it's typically those taxpayers with such basic returns -- wage income only that's reported on W-2 forms and standard deduction claimants -- who are the earliest filers each year.
Meighan says TurboTax has been updating its software since the laws were passed, with final changes expected to be incorporated within a week.
Once that's done, with or without the IRS, users of the popular tax preparation program can complete their forms.
Similarly, taxpayers who prefer some face-to-face help also are being encouraged to talk to their tax professionals now.
H&R Block spokesman Gene King says all of that tax preparation chain's offices are open and ready for business.
"We'll file what we know is ready, what's not impacted from a form's standpoint," says King. "It's still a benefit to come and file if you can because you'll be done, have it out of the way, and you can start your 2013 tax planning."
And both Meighan and King point out another advantage to filing as soon as you can: The IRS operates on a first in, first out basis. If your 1040 is in the first batch of returns that the tax agency accepts on Jan. 22, it will be among the first processed, and your refund will be in the initial group of checks sent to taxpayers.
State wait, too
Don't forget your state tax filings. In the 41 states and the District of Columbia where income taxes are collected from residents, state officials are responsible for their own tax laws and forms each filing season.
But there's usually a federal connection. Nearly every state starts its filing process by asking for the state filer's "federal adjusted gross income" as shown on the taxpayer's 1040. Waiting for the IRS updates so they can determine that amount for state filing purposes will mean some delays for some state tax filers.
But Verenda Smith, deputy director of the Federation of Tax Administrators in Washington, D.C., says there shouldn't be major problems.
Despite the "very, very late decisions" by Congress, Smith notes that the 2012 federal tax laws essentially are the same as those used by filers on their 2011 tax returns, so state systems were already set up for the federal provisions that might affect state filers.
"I'm not saying it wasn't a headache," said Smith, "but we're not anticipating any change to the filing season by any large measure."

Cables or Other Equipment Needed?
Some additional cables or transformers may be required, depending on the antenna and the type of television. Portable televisions and large screen projection sets can present special issues.
Connectors: Check the existing cable connecting the antenna to the television to determine whether any additional cables or adapters are needed. A standard RF coaxial cable is a ¼" round cable with a single "male" prong on each end. If the existing antenna is connected using a round RF coaxial cable, additional cables are not necessary.
Extenders: The standard RF coaxial cable supplied with a converter box is about 3 feet long. A longer RF coaxial cable with two "male" ends, or an RF coaxial cable extension with one "male" and one "female" end, may be needed if the antenna is more than 3 feet from the converter box or the converter box is more than 3 feet from the television.
Transformers: If the existing antenna wire is flat or ribbon-shaped rather than round, and has 2-4 flat ends that are screwed down to a small plate on the back of the television, a small "300/75 ohm transformer" (available for less than $10) will be needed. The transformer converts the television signals received from the antenna's flat wire (300 ohms) to a round RF output (75 ohms) that plugs into the "Antenna In" port on the converter box. Converter boxes do not have flat wire "Antenna In" ports.
Electrical Outlets: The converter box requires electricity. Check for an available electrical outlet near the television. If none is available, a grounded outlet extender, power strip, or electrical extension cord will be needed.
Second Converter Box and Antenna: To be able to record one program using a VCR while watching a separate program on the television, two converter boxes will be needed because each of the analog tuners in the television and the VCR will need converter boxes. See the section below titled Setting Up a VCR or DVD.
