Democrat Mike Freeman, who once said he would seek Georgia's 9th District seat in the U.S. House, has yet to tell the Secretary of State that he's changed his mind.
For the first time in 12 years, there will be a new district attorney next year in White, Lumpkin, Towns and Union counties.
Georgia's 9th District soon may seek a new representative on the state's Department of Transportation board.
While candidates locally and across the state spent the past week declaring their intentions to participate in the July 20 primary, some also prepared for the final week of campaigning for an upcoming special election.
The week of qualifying for the July 20 party primary for Hall County races ended with a whimper Friday.
Here are the list of candidates who have qualified for the July 20 state primary. Note that many candidates have announced their are suspending their campaigns yet may still appear on the primary ballot.
Chad Cobb made his first bid for political office on Thursday when he qualified to run for the state House of Representatives.
Two of the three candidates to be Hall County's representative in the state Senate spent an hour and a half carving out their ideologies for anyone who would listen Thursday.
A Democrat on Wednesday entered the race to represent South Hall County in the state House of Representatives, but no Democrats have yet committed to any of the county's other local races.
Former Chestatee High School Principal Bill Thompson is taking a shot at politics.
Three of Hall County's current representatives in the state House qualified to run for another term Monday.
Candidates have been running for governor for more than a year, but the campaigns won't become official until this week when qualifying for July's Democratic and Republican primaries takes place.
On May 11, Hall County voters will take to the polls to choose replacement representation in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Georgia Senate.
Seven candidates vying for the 9th District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives came together Friday for a debate that wasn't much of a debate at all.
Scott Gibbs announced Friday his bid for the District 3 seat on the Hall County Board of Commissioners.

Did you know that as of this past December the Oakland Zoo has a new Education Director? But you're unlikely to meet this person on your average visit to the Zoo, so I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you something about her. Her name is Bo De Long-Cotty. Overseeing a professional staff of more than a dozen spirited individuals, Bo is responsible for shaping and guiding the science and conservation education vision of the Oakland Zoo through its many community outreach and curriculum-based science programs. I recently had the chance to sit down with her for a most enjoyable and informative chat. I already knew much about her extensive qualifications (nearly two decades in not-for-profit fields such as health and human development, science program and curriculum development, non-formal science education—even a ten year stint as an EMT as well as earning an MA from Columbia and a PhD from UC Berkeley.) Wanting to learn what lies ahead, I asked Bo about her passions and dreams for the department.
I was curious how the transition to her new job was progressing. "It's going well," she said, adding that she finds the process fascinating. When I asked Bo what attracted her to the Oakland Zoo, she replied, "It's a fun place, with a family atmosphere and huge opportunities for creativity in science education—in fields as diverse as art, crafts, music, drama, writing, even poetry." Yet it was also the timing that attracted her, as she sees the Oakland Zoo "on the verge of expanding in so many ways, especially in how we partner with schools in science education."
I asked her what makes her a good fit for this important position here at the Oakland Zoo. With her background in developmental psychology, Bo realizes that every child sees the world differently, based on their background, age and other factors. They also learn about the world differently. Knowing how kids learn, play, socialize, and even develop a sense of humor aids her in structuring science programming for the department. "If I were five years old," she queried, "what things would be important to me? What am I capable of learning?" This insight is invaluable in getting through to a youngster who may be here at the Zoo for only a short period of time, and Bo believes that everyone should leave here with something learned.
Bo's a big believer in the value of informal (fun-based) education which has been shown to reach children in ways that are often not part of formal education. Describing her approach as holistic, Bo also strives to infuse socialization into the learning environment: "Not just teaching the facts, but also promoting empathy for other living things."
In her personal life, Bo and her husband enjoy such diverse cultural pursuits as opera, local theater, poetry slams, monster truck rallies and stock car races, even roller derby. As an avid birder, Bo truly appreciates the privilege of seeing wild animals—even if it's something as ordinary as an opossum wandering through her back yard at home. And she wants to instill that same appreciation in everyone who visits the Zoo.
Speaking of animals, I asked Bo what her favorite was. Without hesitation, she
said a river otter—one of our most popular residents here at the Zoo. "It's their mixture of playfulness and industriousness that I admire. They're very social but always busy working. It's a well-balanced community."
Well, she's got to get back to work; another busload of eager school kids just pulled in. Come by sometime and see what's new at the Oakland Zoo!

Mike Pelfrey gave up two runs in six innings, but it was enough to get his 10th win of the season. He is now tied for second for the most wins in the National League.
Denard Span did all the damage for the Twins, who have now lost four in a row, as he hit a solo shot in the first and an RBI groundout in the fifth.
The Mets offense was dormant in the first three innings against Twins starter Kevin Slowey, but they woke up in the fourth. Jose Reyes led off with a single. On a questionable managerial call, Jesus Feliciano sacrificed Reyes to third after Reyes advanced to second on a pickoff error.
David Wright doubled, driving Reyes home. Ike Davis then hit a single, but Wright held up at third. On a wide throw to home plate that got away from Joe Mauer, Wright scored. Jason Bay just missed a home run, scoring a huffing and puffing Davis from first.
The Mets would continue to tack on in the fifth and sixth. In the fifth, Ruben Tejada just missed his first home run of the season, but Reyes knocked him home with a sacrifice fly. Wright hit an opposite field homer, his 13th of the season, an inning later.
Bobby Parnell and Pedro Feliciano retired the sides in order in the seventh and eighth innings. Francisco Rodriguez made things interesting again in the ninth by allowing two base runners on soft hits. Once again, he got out of it, getting his 17th save of the season.
The Mets are 11 games over .5oo once again and will try to go a season-high 12 games over when Johan Santana faces his former team for the first time Saturday afternoon.
In other baseball news: Former Mets closer Billy Wagner picked up his 400th career save. The Braves won again, so the Mets are still a half-game behind them and two games up on the Phillies.
Diamondbacks pitcher Edwin Jackson threw a 149-pitch no-hitter against the Rays. He also walked eight. It was the second no-hitter in Arizona's history.

I'm looking to read a few baseball books and was looking for books that you all enjoyed and/or learned a lot from. I want to learn about Sabermetrics and am interested in Bill James' work, what books do you all recommend from him?
I'm looking to read a few baseball books and was looking for books that you all enjoyed and/or learned a lot from. I want to learn about Sabermetrics and am interested in Bill James' work, what books do you all recommend from him?
Follow me on twitter @EricLilly7
I know this isn't necessarily what you're looking for, but I found The Natural to be exceptional. Sorry I couldn't be more help with the Bill James/ Sabermetrics angle.
look at the reference list at the end.
Seek out Moneyball by Michael Lewis. Also, check out the Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract and this year's Bill James Gold Mine.
That Joey Votto is some kind of Man Candy!
"For them to boo me like that, it lets me know they dream about me at night. -- Brandon Phillips on Cards fans.
Ball Four by Jim Bouton is a great read. i second Moneyball also.
Juiced By Jose Canseco is a good read simply because of how publicized it initially was and because the book is written in a much different manner than was publicly portrayed.
UNC Tar Heels 2017 National Champions 6 time NCAA Champs!!!
57, 82, 93, 05, 09, 17
Go Heels!!!!!
The Mickey Mantle auto-bio was a pretty good read.
THere's an interesting book about Liriano's rise through the minors and his unfortunate teammate who went the other way. Easy read called THrowing Bullets.
'Ty Cobb' by Charles Alexander if you can find it.
A great introduction to SABR type baseball thinking is Baseball Between the Numbers: Why Everything You Know About The Game Is Wrong.
James just put out his latest book. Go for that one if you're interested in current players and James' current train of thought. Find it on his website.
Agree with the Moneyball recommendation. One of the most enjoyable books I have read in a long time. I just started another baseball book today called The Eastern Stars, How Baseball Changed the Dominican Town of San Pedro de Macoris. Not really the sabermatric angle you are looking for but so far it is an enjoyable read. Easy to understand why the Dominican has so many good major league baseball players. Forgot to mention, that Cueto is from this town.

I'd agree with "moneyball" if I hadn't read Bill James write the same thing 20 years earlier. If you can find (and it's hard) any of the "70's versions" of his baseball analysis books, it's great reading, but you've got to love stats and analysis.

Rascal Flatts Perform Acoustic Version of 'Rewind'
Rascal Flatts have just released a very special acoustic performance of their latest single, 'Rewind.'
The song is the title track of their new album, which just released Tuesday (May 13). The hit making trio stopped by Southern Ground Studios in Nashville to record the song as part of an acoustic set for our partner site, Taste of Country, for their 'Off the Record' series.
The group worked with producer Howard Benson for 'Rewind,' which is their ninth studio album. The new project features a somewhat stripped-down approach as compared to their past studio efforts.
"We felt like it was important for us this time, after we got together and talked, to sit down and challenge ourselves musically," Jay DeMarcus says. "I don't feel like anybody knows us better than we know ourselves. So why not go in [the studio], experiment and figure out, more importantly, what not to do, as well as what to do."
The acoustic performance above provides an even better showcase for the trio's pristine vocal harmonies, and it's interesting to see them work so closely in a more intimate setting than a concert arena.
'Rewind' is one of four tracks Rascal Flatts recorded for 'Off the Record.' Check back each day as we feature more tracks from the session.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks were sharply lower in afternoon trading Friday, dragged down by disappointing results from retail giant Amazon and Ford. Escalating tensions between the U.S. and Russia over Ukraine also weighed on the market. In addition to Amazon, other major tech names including Facebook also fell sharply.
KEEPING SCORE: The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 15 points, or 0.8 percent, to 1,864 as of 1:25 p.m. Eastern. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 159 points, or 1 percent, to 16,343 and the Nasdaq composite fell 76 points, or 1.8 percent, to 4,072. All three indexes are now lower for the week.
FORD STALLS: Ford fell 56 cents, or 3.2 percent, to $15.80 after the company reported earnings that fell short of Wall Street's expectations. Worldwide sales rose 6 percent in the first quarter, but the company reported a sales drop in North America that cut into the company's profit. General Motors fell 23 cents, or 1 percent, to $33.94.
AMAZON PRICE CUT: Amazon, the world's largest online store, sank $32.40, or 10 percent, to $304.61. Amazon reported late Thursday an increase in first-quarter profit, but the company also said that spending on investments will likely lead to an operating loss in the second quarter. Other tech names also lost ground including Facebook, which gave up $2.74, or 4.5 percent, to $58.06.
VOLATILITY: Investors have had little patience for companies missing their forecasts this quarter, said Scott Clemons, chief investment strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman.
"The market is in a precarious position at the moment, and overreacts to bad news far more than it did last year," he said, noting as an example the 10 percent drop in Amazon's stock price, even though the company meet analysts' forecasts. "This volatility doesn't have to be the enemy, because it allows you to pick up companies on the cheap."
RUSSIA: Secretary of State John Kerry accused Russia on Thursday of failing to live up to commitments it made to ease the crisis in Ukraine. In blunt language, Kerry said that unless Moscow takes immediate steps to de-escalate the situation, Washington will have no choice but to impose additional sanctions.
SANCTIONS FALLOUT: The sanctions already in place are starting to impact the profits of some U.S. companies, notably the payment processors Visa and MasterCard. Visa fell $9.42, or 5 percent, to $199.99 after it warned that the U.S. sanctions against Russia were causing Russian banks to use other companies to process payments. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the country will create its own payment processing system. MasterCard was also hurt by the news. Its stock fell $3.51, or 5 percent, to $70.84.
OTHER MARKETS: Prices for U.S. government bonds rose, pushing the yield on the 10-year note down to 2.66 percent from 2.68 percent late Thursday. Yields fall when bond prices rise. The price of oil slipped $1.34, or 1.3 percent, to $100.60 a barrel. Gold rose $10, or 0.8 percent, to $1,300.60 an ounce.

Virtual colonoscopy is a minimally invasive exam to screen for cancer of the large intestine (colon). Virtual colonoscopy requires the same pre-test bowel preparation as colonoscopy. But virtual colonoscopy doesn't require sedation or inserting a scope into the colon.
During virtual colonoscopy, a CT scan produces hundreds of cross-sectional images of your abdominal organs. The images are combined and digitally manipulated to provide a detailed view of the inside of the colon and rectum.
Virtual colonoscopy is an alternative to colonoscopy, but the new test doesn't mean you'll never have another colonoscopy. If virtual colonoscopy shows abnormalities in your colon, your doctor will typically recommend colonoscopy to learn more.
Virtual colonoscopy is used to screen for colon cancer in people who are at least 50 years old and at average risk for the disease. Studies have shown that virtual colonoscopy has detection rates similar to colonoscopy for cancer and most types of polyps. Similarly, virtual colonoscopy is as accurate as colonoscopy for people at average risk of colon cancer, including people over age 65.
Virtual colonoscopy also screens for an enlargement of the major blood vessel in the abdomen (abdominal aortic aneurysm).
Your doctor may suggest virtual colonoscopy if you:
You aren't a candidate for virtual colonoscopy if you have:
Because virtual colonoscopy provides images of the entire abdominal and pelvic area, problems unrelated to colon cancer — such as a kidney tumor — might be found as well. Virtual colonoscopy may also be used to monitor small or very small polyps.
Insurers vary in their coverage of virtual colonoscopy. Coverage should be checked before scheduling the procedure.
Virtual colonoscopy is generally safe. Risks include:
Before a virtual colonoscopy, you'll need to empty your colon. Any residue in your colon may obscure the images taken during the exam.
To empty your colon, follow your doctor's instructions carefully. You may be asked to:
You'll wear a gown, but likely no other clothes. Sedation usually isn't necessary, but you may be given medication to relax your colon.
You'll begin the exam lying on your side on the exam table, usually with your knees drawn toward your chest. The doctor will place a small tube (catheter) inside your rectum to fill your colon with air or carbon dioxide. The air or gas helps create clear images and may cause a feeling of pressure in your abdomen.
For the next part of the exam, you'll lie on your back. The exam table will be moved into the CT machine, and your body will be scanned. Then you'll turn over to lie on your abdomen or your side, and your body will be scanned again.
You may be asked to turn and hold various other positions, as well as hold your breath at times. If necessary, a contrast agent may be given through a vein in your arm to help create clearer images.
A virtual colonoscopy typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
In a multicenter study of people who had virtual colonoscopy to screen for colon cancer, nearly 93 percent of participants labeled their overall experience "excellent" or "good," and 93 percent indicated they would choose the procedure for their next screening.
Most of the air or gas will be removed from your colon through the catheter in your rectum. You may feel bloated or pass gas for a few hours after the exam as you clear the remaining air or gas from your colon. Walking may help relieve any discomfort, and you can return to your usual diet and activities right away.
Your doctor will review the results of the colonoscopy and then share them with you. Your test results may be:

I've actually ended up as PL for most of my play time over the weekend, so haven't suggested TACGIR since I wouldn't have been able to split off (I'd step up as a TACGIR SL, but it will be a rocky learning experience).
When I was running the platoon during an Amerish alert on Sunday afternoon in the last 10-15 minutes we all (3 squads) split up and went to different bases in a desperate attempt to cap more territory. It actually turned out OK (we eventually settled on 2 bases and won both), but the confusing mess of comms, with orders, warnings and suggestions of where to go, was rather stressful.
I think in future when PLing I'll make the suggestion that if a squad wants to go to a different base, or if an SL wants to give their squad its own orders, then they should split comms too (either in a AB+CD setup or into TACGIR, I'm not fussy). In hindsight it should have been obvious and I've thought the same thing before, but in the moment I forgot.
I've PLed a reasonable number of times now (usually on lazy weekend afternoons) and never really asked for feedback. If anyone has any let me know.
It's worth pointing out that we would certainly have benefited from the TACGIR set up, but we weren't running that way initially because when I volunteered to take platoon lead there were about maybe 16 people online; not enough to justify splitting into squad comms for what was just a casual night's play.
Once the numbers had swollen to 40 in one channel then we could absolutely have used the split comms and pushed people into different groups, but we were into the dying minutes of the alert by that point (having battled in and around Mani Bio Lab for about an hour and a half of almost constant fighting) and I didn't want to waste time moving people around (and having to alt-tab out to sort out the binds, which would have meant looking up exactly how they should be set up etc.)
With a TACGIR radio set up I would have been much happier just telling each RO their objective and leaving it up to the SLs how they get it done, and have them coordinate things themselves when you have more than one squad taking a particular piece of ground - unless I was trying to coordinate all squads in the platoon together for something like a mass gal drop or similar.
I don't know how other people play or prefer to play, I like the split radio set up and I like a group of us in one channel depending on numbers - and I agree that TACGIR is not about being deadly serious about everything and never smiling because "this is war, boy and that's a serious business". Just different ways of playing the same game.
Firing four squads out in different directions can be a good thing but it's all very situational.
You summed up why I don't PL the regular platoon any more and wont really in the future - it's just a mess when you try to be effective and split etc. Some can handle it, I can't.
I think you as PL should decide to split to at least two channels (AB+CD etc)if you feel it is necessary Kiwi. You can also always suggest that someone chucks up a TACGIR squad as well. If you see me, Eso or Eclectic on, feel free to ask us to do that.Find me on the Steams

Given that we now have a fairly simple (if somewhat hard to find) guide on Mumble keybinds, and that they should now work in any of the PS2 channels, I would suggest anyone interested in being PL, SL or RO just go ahead and set up the keybinds if you haven't already. That way, if someone calls to move into separate channels then there should be a few people on who are ready to go with comms.

Just a quick report for my stint as PL last night, mainly because I'm after some advice.
Time: ~8:00pm - 10:00pm [can't remember the exact times] on the 30/04/13
Overview: Took over as the platoon was transitioning from Amerish to Esamir nearly 1/2 way through an alert. Spent the alert fighting the TR in an attempt to stop them taking more of our territory. Then back to Amerish to defend our lock (which had nearly been lost).
What went wrong:
Trying to transition between continents so late in an alert left 1/2 of us stranded on Amerish for longer than should have been acceptable.
I tried to have everyone push for Apex Genetics but a large chunk of the platoon (already split between Amerish and Esamir) decided they didn't like that plan and went to Saerro Listening Post instead.
Towards the end of the alert (this is something I've found before when PLing alerts) deciding where to go gets hard and everyone has a different opinion they'd like to share which doesn't help the confusion.
What went right:
I believe that although the strategic decisions weren't great we did get some good fights in, especially once back on Amerish. As I left the lock on Amerish was looking more secure so that was good too.
Lessons to learn:
I need to be more assertive as a leader. Also, why do I never suggest splitting comms (to AB+CD)? That'd probably help with getting a word in edgeways.
Don't change continents if there is a queue. I really should just have reversed the decision to swap after seeing how long it would take some people to get in.
What is the best thing to do in the last 30 minutes of an alert? It's clear I don't know but if anyone has any advice then it'll be gratefully received.
On that note, perhaps this is the wrong thread.... Perhaps it is the appropriate, since here is where we discuss events of previous nights... But a lot of PLs ignore /leaderchat and TVA coordination. I am not talking about last night, but it is a worrying trend that is picking up over the last month.
Yes, /leaderchat can be a cesspool. It can be also be a great tool. If our voice is not heard in there, the voice of certain idiots dominates it. And people will work with them, resorting to an attitude "At least they are there". Yes, sometimes we may disagree with other outfits' actions and decisions. Be sure that sometimes they feel the same way about us. If we do not cooperate we cannot convince each other.
Lastly, if we see on the map, on a location where TVA outfits operate, numerical parity with the enemy, do not disregard it as "we are not needed there". Even if the allied outfits are slowly winning, they are losing the battle with time, and that is essential in an alert.
We are the largest Vanu outfit on the server. That comes with certain responsibilities.
And lastly, coordination is like sex: when it's bad, at least you get some, and when it's good, it's great!

When I logged on most folks were on Esamir and I landed in Amerish. I had a great time last night and I think LordKiwi did a really good job of getting us in fun fights whilst being useful in defending the lock. I think there were a few people who also logged in directly to Amerish which might have increased the perception of how much the move had split things up - busy continents are always going to be tricky for large outfits such as RPS.
As for last 30 minutes of the alert I think that's a big question (deserving of it's own thread?). I'm more optimistic than Eso about Vanu cooperation but maybe I'm just naive. I've had pretty good experiences using /leader to coordinate with the likes of ProdigalVS, Eurobob, Stanis, etc. In my experience BURP have prioritised fun fights over all else (be it cont locks or alerts) but that's probably not universal. The general premise of "don't go big too early" seems sound but I think views differ about which specific territories are worth going for. Eg Raven Landing and The Ascent are good to hold but that means if you don't have them early you're going to get stuck trying to cap the middle of Amerish. More discussion of alert strategy would be good.

One of you folks with a plan should definitely start a thread to discuss alert strategy so it's not buried in here.
Masterful leadership during tonight's alert ! Usually during alerts, the faction dominating at half-point is the one who will lose it all by the end. Tonight we managed to keep 46% of the territory, and RPS was no small part in it, with our fearless leaders sending us to last-minute defenses of endangered territories.
There are a few important ideas from tonight that we should keep in mind for future play, but right now I don't have the time to explain them correctly, so I'm just gonna give a watchful purple giraffe of awesome to our PL and SL of the nights and will write more tomorrow

Keep in mind that these forums are open for everyone, including the traitorous NC and TR. Try to stay away from 'playbook' style of posts/discussing the standard strategies and tactics we're using again and again. It's kinda shitty, but Vanu wouldn't be pleased.
In the future hough (and this is to remind everyone) can Purple Giraffes of Awesome be posted in the dedicated thread:
(This is an ongoing problem, and I don't want it to look like I'm singliing out this post, but it just reminded me. If they get spread around, they don't always get seen. Part of the point of these awards are that they are public shows of support and deserve attention)."KING GEORGE IS A FROG
le BANG~__-MICHEAL FUCK OFF~~__-INTERPOL KNOW YOU WELLBIENG~
Tonight fight was awesome, despite some coms problem, I had a lot of fun.
At the beginning, it was quite stressful to be squad lead in TACGIR/"serious operations" mode for the first time, but once the fight started for real, i was getting used to that, and enjoyed the experience. A big thanks to MrEclectic, who was a great RO, and helped me a lot. Without him, I would have probably messed up a lot more.
If anyone who was on my squad tonight has some feedback, I would be grateful. Both positive and negative feedback are useful, because negative feedback helps me being better.
As for me I have a few things to say about this :
- It was fun ! Both as a player, and a SL
- When I read about the RO role I didn't understand its purpose, but now I see how useful it is
- Pairing an experienced RO with a newbie SL is a very good idea.
- Obviously, the whole 2nd platoon creation on the go messed things up a bit. But I'm not blaming the PL, who did a great job on the whole and tried to smooth things up as much as possible for everyone else.
- It takes quite a long time to set platoon, squads, and coms. I hope the PL (Esoteric, if I remember correctly) can give us some feedback on that, so we can smooth things up next time. If we want to use TACGIR more often, we need to be able to deploy it in less than 10 min.
- I had fun as SL, but I think for a beginner in the TACGIR system, the RO role is better than SL, because as SL you have to think about a lot of stuff at the same time, while getting use to the TACGIR system, whereas a RO is there to relay orders / ask questions to the PL. It's an important job, but I think it might be less stressful for a beginner, while allowing him to get some experience with his SL.
- I didn't get to use my whisper key. I don't know if I made a mistake while configurating it, but as far as I know it was working fine when we were settings things up (heard people, and I think people heard me too), but then once the operations started, nobody used that, or I couldn't hear it. Luckily RO / PL helped us coordinate, but there was at least one moment where I wished I could communicate with the Alpha SL and couldn't.
Fun fact : I'm not a native English speaker, and I've just discovered that when I'm under stress, my English gets a bit wonky . I know I did several grammar/vocabulary mistakes, I hope I didn't hurt too many ears with that

Strategic Thursday 2 May 2013
Started out with no-one really wanting to step up to PL, so I did it this time around. All things said, I think it went alright, but it certainly wasn't a smashing success. None of this was due to subpar performance from anyone in-game, it was a matter of a couple of nasty mix-ups, and just way too much fiddling and management of squads and platoons in the game and on Mumble. We'll get to the details.
The plan:
Was to hit Sungrey which looked to be a nice big fight, and to hold and defend against the TR zerg that I predicted would be incoming there shortly.
What actually happened:
Sungrey turned out to be a steamroller for us. As soon as we got there, the enemy presence just melted away. So, scratch The Plan.
I decided that we should try to push onwards along the north. Qaz pointed out to me that NC Arsenal was a good place for nice fights, and it was also possible to move there with ground vehicles. So we pushed over there. took it after 20 minutes or so of fierce fighting, and then held there for a few minutes. This was when I realised that one platoon would not be enough, so the group held on to NC Arsenal while the worst of the management mess happened.
We then somewhat haphazardly moved over towards North Grove and had one of the best fights I've seen for a while against several TRAM outfits. It was a toug fight for at least 30 minutes - probably more, I had totally lost track of time at this point, from having to juggle all the platoons and squads and people sitting in the wrong Mumble channels and everything. In the end RPS was victorius, which is as it should be, and we even had one PCG player commend us for our tenacity.
After this, a couple of squads held on to North Grove while three squads pushed for relieving a stalled offense on Ikanam Bio Lab, at which point I had to log off to take care of my tax declaration. (!) Eplekongen graciously took over platoon lead, and did an admirable job, as far as I can tell, so thanks for that!
Lessons learned:
- Start out with two platoons and start up two squads in each, Alpha+Bravo and Echo+Foxtrot. This gives us two groups to work with, that are both big enough to handle a bit of resistance.We will always need two platoons now, we're that many playing Stratgir now! We should not need to spend much time as I did tonight getting Mumble set up and everyone into the right channels etc. Let's make sure we've got channels set up for two platoons, and start two platoons in-game before setting out.
- Make sure to get a real plan and briefing before moving out. People on the front ranks didn't quite feel like they knew what was going on in the beginning. We should take a few minutes to get things together, and make sure that everyone knows what we're doing, and what everyone's role is, if there is any such distinction.
- Remove some of the channel depth (DONE). The amount of channels in Mumble was a bit confusing, so I took away some of the levels and pulled all squad channels in from the parking channel. It should look a bit cleaner now. We could also possibly ask Nullkigan to remove the Vanu Sovereignty channel level, because that seems a bit superfluous at the moment.
- MAX crashes: we should not crash all through one door or we will be wiped out. We need to split up targets by squads and spread out a bit more.
- When setting out for the next objective, we would benefit from taking a bit more time to get things settled, come up with a plan and make sure everyone in the squad knows what we're going to do, and what their role in the whole thing is going to be. We often rush to our deaths when we could have taken 20 seconds to sort out a rough plan of action that would likely be much more successful.
- Need better mentoring procedures for new leaders. We had a couple of new leaders on tonight. They did a great job, but would really need someone to step up and give them a helping hand. It is easy to get completely overwhelmed by the amount of things going on.
- Need some more training/walkthroughs on comms (especially SL-to-SL coordination). SL-to-SL coordination seems to hardly have been used at all tonight, which is a real shame, because that is one of the major strengths of our comms system. I, or whoever else is platoon leading, need to be very clear up-front about the fact that SLs can communicate with each other! We should announce this before setting out, and remind people a few times during the night, until this becomes second nature.
- The PL-RO-SL role split worked like clockwork tonight, at least from my perspective as PL over-burdened by management tasks. This seems to have become second nature for us now, though we stumbled in the beginning, so I have hopes for the SL-to-SL comms to work out nicely soon enough, too. I'd like to see SLs and ROs of the night comment on this aspect of play, though.
- EDIT: Oh, and ROs often need to report in more often. Some were really good at this, some need to give quick info on what the squad is up to a bit more often. I'm generally pleased, we have certainly made excellent progress lately, but I'd like a bit more proactivity still. Keep up the good work, and do even better next time!

Ksempac, you did an excellent job! I find SLing the way I want to be led myself, to be very very hard. I constantly miss things, get my squad spread out all over the place and lose track of my objectives. Thankfully, I usually get to have very competent ROs with me to remind me where I should be trying to go!
So, thanks for stepping up tonight, I've heard only good things about your performance. Keep it up!
Also, thanks for the feedback! It's very helpful. You'll notice that the comms issue was discussed during the debriefing and a proposed solution implemented until next time. (I don't remember you being on at the debrief...)
It's probably only me, but I prefer being both squad lead and RO at the same time. But maybe that's only because the squads I've been in have been of the very quiet type. Especially now the squad is muted when ROs speak.
I'm sad to have missed the debrief. I didn't there would be one. I had to left the game around 11pm CET, but if i had known that there would soon be a debrief, i would have stayed on Mumble at least, because i went to bed only at 12pm.
What is the proposed solution for the com issues?
Last edited by Ksempac; 03-05-2013 at 09:13 AM.
Yeah, Sorry about that, I didn't know if I was going to be able to hold a debrief myself, because I didn't know how long I'd need to get my paperwork sorted. There will be another chance soon enough.
And Boris, the muting of squads when ROs speak is probably not really necessary, and most people seem to dislike it, so we'll likely not roll with that in the future.

The most expensive stadium in the US drew the Super Bowl to the New York area for the first time. Wall Street is making it happen.
The National Football League's championship is a home game for the shapers of the nation's economy, with 11 of 29 host sponsors coming from the financial services industry. The event is costing $US70 million to stage, as much as five times last year's in New Orleans, and companies with revenue of $US339 billion last year are paying a big part of the bill.
"Every city is different than New York, really," said Jay Cicero, head of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, who led the host committee for last year's game. "In general, a host committee in any city is going to rely on the local business community."
In New York, the local sponsors read like an Ivy League junior's internship applications: JPMorgan Chase & Co.; the New York Stock Exchange's parent IntercontinentalExchange Group; Goldman Sachs; Morgan Stanley; Citigroup; BlackRock; and Bank of America.
Private companies including SAC Capital Advisors also helped fund the organising committee, whose expenses include Super Bowl Boulevard, the 13-block football-themed street festival on Broadway that will operate until the day before the February 2 title game between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks.
Early backers
Al Kelly, chief executive officer of the NY/NJ Super Bowl Host Committee, said the financial services industry was among the earliest and most enthusiastic backers of the region's bid to host the first outdoor Super Bowl in a cold-weather city. League owners awarded the game to MetLife Stadium in May 2010, four months before the $US1.6 billion stadium even hosted its first NFL regular-season game.
"New York is the capital of a lot of things, the capital of commerce and investment," said Brian Rolapp, executive vice president of NFL media. "That was one of the attractive parts of putting it here."
In return for their money, the host sponsors received a vice-chairman spot on the committee for an executive to help plan the event, along with one of the more than 200 luxury suites at MetLife Stadium for the game.
Cruz control
Melissa Shuffield, a spokeswoman for JPMorgan, said the company worked with the Snowflake Youth Foundation, the host committee's designated charitable project. It helped start an after-school program at the Boys & Girls Club in Paterson, New Jersey, named "Cruz Control" after Giants receiver Victor Cruz, who hails from that city.
Goldman Sachs views its sponsorship as a way to support economic development in the tri-state area and a chance to trumpet Goldman's work with the NFL helping minority and women-owned businesses become Super Bowl vendors, said Andrew Williams, a spokesman.
"We're using this as an opportunity to promote our small business initiative and drive people to participate," Williams said.
Cicero said the sponsors in New York demonstrate both the wealth and power of the city's economic base, and the expense of hosting the NFL's championship game there, spread between two states with a stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, eight miles from Super Bowl Boulevard in Manhattan's Times Square.
NFL policy
The New York area was able to tap the financial sector more easily than other cities because of an NFL policy: It allows hosts to recruit sponsorships from local businesses who are not official league partners. This year, that meant financial institutions.
While New Orleans had no hope of tapping the kind of money available to the New York-area hosts -- its exemption was to the oil and gas industry - the infrastructure in place there from hosting the game a record 10 times ensured a budget of under $US15 million, he said.
"It's not only less expensive to do business here, the fact that we've done this 10 times before helps us navigate the event," Cicero said from New Orleans. "With 20,000 hotel rooms, the French quarter and the Superdome all within a mile radius of each other, expenses are a lot less."

Using SQLite to do your own analysis
From Geoqo
If you know sql, you can actually use sqlite to open your own database and look through it in extra ways that geoqo may not be able to handle as easily. An example is that brdad wanted to know how many different people used "produced by" names different than their own caching name. I showed him he could do this using sqlite on the database:
First, how many caches were in my DB (geoqo -d stats will tell you this too):
sqlite ~/.geoqo/dbs/geoqo SQLite version 2.8.17 Enter ".help" for instructions sqlite> select count(ident) from geocaches; 14488
Then how many had a mismatch:
sqlite> select count(ident) from geocaches where groundspeak_owner_name <> groundspeak_placed_by; 2948
And finally, show the list counting who had the most mismatches:
sqlite> select groundspeak_owner_name, count(ident) from geocaches where groundspeak_owner_name <> groundspeak_placed_by group by groundspeak_owner_name order by count(ident) desc limit 10; GBESGeocachers|89 Marky|81 SnoWake|47 47Dad47|31 Churm|28 Rocket Girl|28 DadWrap|26 n2books2|23 rivercity|21 Salmon Falls Widow|21
Then you can acually use geoqo itself to break down it further into what names some used:
> geoqo -s 'cache:owner_name==Marky' -d top10:groundspeak_placed_by Top 10 'groundspeak_placed_by's Num % Value ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 74 82 Marky & Joani 9 10 Marky 2 2 Marky & Joani & Woof! 2 2 Marky & Fizzy 1 1 Punsmann (Adopted by Marky) 1 1 Friends of LAH (motogrrl) 1 1 Shane & Pepper (Maintained by Marky & Joani)
And for snowwake:
> geoqo -s 'cache:owner_name==SnoWake' -d top10:groundspeak_placed_by Top 10 'groundspeak_placed_by's Num % Value ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 35 74 SnoWake -n- Dingo 2 4 SnoWake -n- Rexy, and Dingo too! 2 4 SnoWake, Dingo and Panza 1 2 SnoWake -n- Dingo, and Panza too! 1 2 SnoWake, DIngo -n- Panza 1 2 SnoWake (sans Dingo) 1 2 Dingo (with a little help from SnoWake -n- Rexy) 1 2 andleis' minions 1 2 SnoWake, Free Heeler, Dingo -n- Panza 1 2 SnoWake, Dingo, Panza and an Alien Bunny 1 2 SnoWake -n- Free Heeler, Panza -n- Dingo

With Outlook and Windows, multiple people can protect their email on one shared computer. First, there's sharing at work and home. In this scenario, people can protect their email with their own password-protected Windows user accounts. The second scenario is sharing a public computer, where the best way to protect your email is by using the Outlook Web App or some other browser-based email app.
Inside this course:
Password protect your mailbox (1:35_
We'll look at two sharing scenarios. First, at work and home, where people can protect their email with their own password-protected Windows user accounts. Second, sharing a public computer using the Outlook Web App or some other browser-based email app.
Sharing at work and home (3:19)
Using password-protected Windows user accounts is the easiest and most secure way to share a computer. The first time a user signs in, a Windows user account and personal workspace is created on the computer. After multiple users have been added to the computer, they can each sign in to access their email in Outlook.
Sharing a public computer (2:23)
On a public computer that may be shared with a hundred people, it doesn't make sense to create individual Windows user accounts. In this case, everyone shares one user account. If you're the computer owner, you can restrict permissions on the account so users can access their email but can't make changes to the computer itself, like add or remove programs. The easiest and most secure way to access email on a public computer is through a web browser.
More ways to protect your email (2:54)
Windows user accounts are the best way to protect your email on a shared computer. But if you want additional protection, there are two more things you can do. First, you can require a logon to access your Exchange email. Second, you can add a password to help protect your data files

How to Deal With IPO Envy
WebMD Feature
April 17, 2000 (Chicago, Ill.) -- You can't turn on the television these days without hearing about somebody striking it rich at a hot new "dot-com." And it can be painful watching other people buy yachts while you're still struggling to keep your head above water.
A recent Newsweek poll found that 67% of Americans earning $30,000 to $49,000 feel they've missed out on the stock market boom; 71% have no hope of getting rich in their present jobs; and 72% feel pressured to keep up with a newly wealthy friend or neighbor.
Chicago attorney and organizational psychologist Daniel Kegan, PhD, JD, says there's another kind of anxiety that comes from feeling left out in the cold. "You think, everybody else is making money. And everyone knows how to invest and manage it but me."
If you're panicked about your IRA and having enough money for retirement, you're under just as much stress as someone whose company has gone public.
"Anxiety is increasing in America because we falsely believe money can buy us security or happiness," says Ivan Kos, PhD, a New York therapist who specializes in fear management. "And we are rapidly becoming polarized into a society made up of the haves and the have-nots."

Reviews of this property
Catherine´s place is really awesome. What you see on the pictures is exactly how it looks like in reality. And I would highly recommend this place to anybody, who want´s to stay in San Diego in a safe area, close to everything (15 minutes drive to SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo, Coronado, downtown, the Beaches, Little Italy even only 10 minutes). The only pitty is, that the washing machine and the dryer are in the house from Catherine - of course you are very welcome to use it, but you need to coordinate this, which is not always easy.
The bungalow was really beautiful decorated and a great place to stay. Catherine the host was really nice to us, always helped us if we needed anything. Also the refridgerator was filled with muffins, cheese, milk, orange juice, etc for free for us. We loved using the jacuzzi and sitting outside at the table at the fire.
I recommend this place to everyone who wants to stay at San Diego some days, the neighbourhood is really nice and with our car we were in old town, at the beach and downtown in some minutes.

So you think San Clemente's Pier Bowl area gets congested with tourists today?
One of three tile murals decorating an expanded Ralphs store scheduled to open Friday reveals that in 1940, San Clemente's pier and beach were so popular that the adjacent street had one-way circulation and still was jammed with cars.
If the one-way traffic on Avenida Victoria comes as a surprise, the mural also reveals there was no Beachcomber Motel, a row of single-story Spanish-style cottages that today sit prominently along the bluff. The cottages came at the end of World War II.
Also, a landmark Spanish-style mansion appears in the picture, atop a coastal bluff. The mansion, known as the Bartow home, was demolished in the 1970s to make way for condominiums.
The San Clemente Historical Society donated the artwork for three tile murals that decorate the new supermarket at 903 S. El Camino Real. The murals hark back to a time when San Clemente had its own sportfishing fleet at the pier, giving it a major tourist draw that went away when Dana Point Harbor opened in 1971.
Michael Kaupp, a San Clemente planning commissioner, coordinated the mural project and said Thursday that the three murals will look much nicer in a month or so when the photographs in place now are replaced with tiles that will create the same images. The tiles are being made, and when it became evident they wouldn't be ready for this week's store opening, Ralphs "went to extra trouble to have these printed," Kaupp said.
The new 28,322-square-foot Ralphs opens at 8 a.m. Friday after more than seven months of construction, during which residents of southwest San Clemente had to drive across town for supermarket shopping. The new store replaces a 19,500-square-foot store that had been there since 1963.
On Thursday, final touches were being applied inside and out for a grand-opening celebration Friday that will include drawings for two iPads, plus other promotions.

The design for Wiltshire's new Air Ambulance was unveiled today by the Wiltshire Air Ambulance Charitable Trust's board of trustees.
The helicopter, a Bell 429, which will arrive from Canada in October this year, will become operational when the current partnership with Wiltshire Police comes to an end in December.
The new helicopter will incorporate yellow and the distinctive Wiltshire 'green', which is used across the county on the Wiltshire flag.
The belly of the helicopter will also carry a distinctive 'W', again representing Wiltshire.
Richard Youens, chairman of the charity's board of trustees, said: "Developing the design of the livery for the new helicopter has been a challenging process.
"We wanted to ensure that the colour scheme not only reflected the county of Wiltshire, but is also sufficiently different from the current helicopter in recognition of this new chapter for the county's air ambulance.
"We have also had to take into account what would be acceptable to Bell Helicopters and develop a design which is both easily identified and meets industry standards."
The Bell 429 is the world's newest and most advanced light twin-engine helicopter in service, equipped with the latest in-flight technology.
The helicopter will be the first Bell 429 to operate as an air ambulance in the UK. It has a top speed of 150 knots and a range of 400 miles making rapid response to any incident within the county achievable within minutes.
The aircraft is currently on the production line in Mirabel, where it will be adapted to make it capable of carrying one or two pilots, two or three paramedics as well as a patient on a stretcher.
Prior to delivery the aircraft will be fitted out with the most recent Aerolite equipment to meet the highest Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) specification.
This autumn will see a period of testing and training for the crew in Wiltshire so that the new air ambulance is set to go live by December 1.
The charity currently anticipates it will cost £2.5million a year to keep the air ambulance flying - £6,850 per day.

Know Your Line: Be Flood AwareThe "Know Your Line: Be Flood Aware" High Water Mark initiative, created by FEMA and other federal agencies, helps remind residents of historic major local floods and encourages the community to prepare for future flood risks. Roseville has posted high water mark signs to show how high flood waters have risen in the past. Roseville has made significant investments in developing flood mitigation improvements and instituting a comprehensive floodplain management program. As a result, Roseville is the only city in the United States to hold a Class I rating as part of FEMA's Community Rating System. This means Roseville property owners save money on their flood insurance premiums. Learn more about FEMA's "Know Your Line" program.

Marks on the Landscape
Landscape photographs can be windows to our world. The images in this section portray various marks humankind has made on the landscape. Though some of these places lack in human presence, the drastic impact of humankind on the landscape is unavoidable and profound. The building of railroads, dams, power plants, and golf courses have forever altered the landscape. Tranquil views of mountains and streams have been replaced with sites of toxic waste and garbage. Some contemporary photographers have become messengers for the land; their harsh truths expose a landscape that has been changed, perhaps for all time.
Funding for this project was provided by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and a donation from PhotoWings.

So I ran into another issue with current website I am trying to style. From what I have read there's no way I could make it look the same to all browsers just because there's too many of them. But it seems on 3 of them I have check it all looks different,so how to I apply different css rules to different browsers and so one would not interact with each other ?
http://screencast.com/t/P1Jbk9kB iron browser
http://screencast.com/t/dx2xOzWq2 firefox
http://screencast.com/t/ZmZlgbQE1Nj chrome
Thanks for you help and time.
You would need to post the code or a link to your site if you want us to take a look.
It should be possible to position that arrow consistently across browsers, though I've never heard of iron browser before..You only need to care about Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and IE.
And then there's this..http://dowebsitesneedtolookexactlythesameineverybrowser.com/
LOL, I honestly thought I did posted url
and that for a link,gives a lot of knowledge
So the reason that image moves around is because it's positioned to the bottom of the window - depending on the window size it will move around.Remove the bottom value and make it top: 445px; instead.
Thank you markbrown4 but still not working out and this is what I see in chrome:
The big button is in exactly the same place in those screenshots of yours. Its the window that you are viewing it through that is different. You just have the browser's window open at a different size in each browser.
The problem is that you have absolutely positioned that button from the viewport so its position will never match the layout unless you just happen to have the window open at the right point. What you need to do is to tie the absolute element to #page by creating a local stacking context by adding position:relative to #page and then the absolute element will take its position from the page and not the viewport.
#submit-image {
left: 700px;
position: absolute;
top: 445px;
z-index: 9;
Thanks,it solved some of it,but still on smaller screen laptops i get button floating somewhere in the middle of data imput fields maybe there's a way to position that image to certain area like a locker. Or I see some code in css style sheet that is for IE or FireFox. Sorry if the question is dumb
That's what the position:relative on the parent does. It creates a local stacking context fro the absolute element and the absolute element is then tied to that starting point
The problem on smaller screens (which I didn't notice earlier) is that you have a fluid width page and therefore as the page gets smaller the absolute element still stays in exactly the place it was put but will then overlap anything in the way because absolute elements are removed from the flow and in a fluid environment you don;t want absolute elements.
Instead you should float the button and let it take part in the flow but you will need to adjust the html.
First you will need to add a class to the form inputs and float the block.
<p[B] class="forminputs"[/B]><span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap your-name"><input etc......
Then you will need css like this:
#submit-image {
Or alternatively move the button before that p element in the html and just float it right (remembering to remove the absolute positioning).
Huge thank you Paul for your time. Gonna try to make it happen.

Transhumanist and Marxist?
I shrug at you. I don't know what other people think, but I think it's pretty much inevitable that our technology will develop to a point where life will be practically incomprehensible to people to from previous times. When, how? I don't know, but I'm eagerly hoping for it either way.
I think you're confusing Clarke's third law with transhumanism.
Can be a transhumanist be one who realizes that many of the 'predictions' of computer geeks (mind uploading, cybernetics, artificial intelligence) are mere speculations, but hopes for them anyways?
If you want to define it that way, I guess. Mind "uploading" is woo, though.
Well, it's not "woo" in idea. We will some day understand exactly how we make memories, and therefore exactly how to replicate them. At that point we will be able to map all the memories and thoughts you've ever had and recreate them.
I don't see how 'uploading' someone's memories would be impossible. Of course you can't 'upload' 'all of a person', as a person is also their body, but memories and personality and stuff, yeah, that seems pretty plausible.
All you've done is create a computerized facsimile. "You," as in your own subjective experience, will be gone.
Oh yeah, of course. Your uploaded memories will basically become a new entity.
I know nothing about this, so only wanted to make this one point. We are already "just for the hell of it", giving chicks the ability to glow in the dark, giving mice teh "ability" to talk (ok, not really, but adjusting the FoxP2), etc. 20 years? 40 years? it may not be "inconceivable", but it won't look nuttin' like it does today.

Pick Your Pot: Top Tips for Nonstick, Cast Iron and Stainless Steel Cookwareby Cameron Curtis in How-to, February 11th, 2014
Every cookware surface has its own set of rules to guarantee correctly cooking food and a long life on your shelf. Whether your cabinets are stocked with nonstick, cast iron or stainless steel (or you're thinking about a set to invest in), these tips will keep your pots and pans properly cared for.
1. Nonstick
When cooking with nonstick pans use medium heat or lower. High heat on a coated pan will shorten its shelf life. Because temperatures can soar, don't preheat an empty pan. Add food or even oil from the start. Keep in mind that foods prepared in a nonstick pan will not brown well, as high heat is necessary for a seared surface to develop. Foods won't be able to adhere to the surface and form the browned bits that make up a golden crust.

Program Overview
Immaculata's B.S.N. program prepares students academically, socially, and spiritually to practice within today's complex health care systems. Building on the liberal arts and sciences, the program prepares students to care for patients at all stages of life, from birth and childhood through adulthood and into the later phases of life.
Program Highlights
We offer more than a traditional nursing program. As a Catholic university, we incorporate strong values into our program, providing an environment that reinforces a sense of ethics, justice, and peace. You will leave the program with a strong sense of professional accountability and responsibility and openness to life-long learning. You will become part of a learning community that will assist you in becoming a leader in health care.
As part of the B.S.N. program, you will apply theory and practice your skills through working in a nursing simulation lab and participating in clinical experiences. The simulation lab replicates clinical events in a realistic setting, allowing you to problem solve and "think on your feet" in critical situations.
Clinical Experiences:
Clinical rotations provide hands-on experiences in a variety of nursing specialties:
- Medical-surgical
- Long-term and hospice care
- Gerontology
- Intensive care
- Pediatrics
- Maternity care
- Emergency care
- Psychiatric care
- Rehabilitation
- Community health
- Drug and alcohol detoxification
In order to complete your clinical experiences, you will need to undergo drug screening, a criminal background check, and a child abuse clearance, along with any other requirements specified by the clinical agency. A nursing faculty member or a clinical preceptor will provide direct, on-site supervision for all clinical experiences.
All nursing students are required to complete medical and background clearances prior to the start of their clinical experiences. More information regarding this can be found in the B.S.N. Student Handbook and will be distributed to students during Sophomore Nursing Orientation and throughout the junior and senior semesters.
For more information, see the B.S.N. Student Handbook.
In fall 2011, the bachelor'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.
The program is approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the Pennsylvania State Board of Education and the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing.
Learning Outcomes
Students who complete the program will be able to:
- Demonstrate a holistic perspective in all areas of professional practice
- Value the dignity of self and others in professional practice by seeking truth, acting justly, and fostering peace
- Exhibit professional values based on ethical, legal, and moral standards for professional nursing practice
- Act as a change agent to promote the health and welfare of all people
- Integrate evidence, clinical judgment, inter-professional perspectives, and patient preferences in planning, implementing, and evaluating outcomes of care
- Identify the impact of cultural forces, particularly their social, economic, and political aspects, on the health of individuals, families, neighborhoods, and the global community
- Employ inter- and intra-professional communication and collaborative skills to deliver safe, evidence-based, patient-centered care
- Exhibit skills in using patient care technologies, information systems, and communication devices that support safe nursing practice
- Apply teaching-learning principles in promoting health
- Evidence an awareness of and interest in lifelong learning
Admission Requirements
Apply now - the priority deadline is January 30. Since admission to the nursing program is competitive, meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the program.
If you would like to major in nursing, you will need to submit the following materials.
