Vision for Neuroscience Nursing:
Today's healthcare arena demands neuroscience nurses be prepared to meet challenges associated with a multifaceted often unpredictable environment. This is true from acute care to end-of-life care. In the intricate world of neurosciences, advances in technology have the capability to extend life beyond what was possible only a few years ago. As a result, the decisions and treatments regarding healthcare options are necessarily more complex. It is indisputable that neuroscience patients require highly skilled nurses specially educated to manage technologies and treatments designed to address complex healthcare needs. Neuroscience nurses must also manage relationships and consequences that exist with these technological advances.
To positively effect change in this environment, neuroscience nurses must be prepared to improve outcomes, enhance communication, provide education, and be effective advocates. Opportunities for learning across the continuum of care to support these efforts are essential. Professional and community programs that encompass not only the latest evidenced-based science but the spiritual and psychosocial factors that contribute to health restoration are examples of such opportunities.
My vision for neuroscience nursing is to prepare nurses to navigate the complex world of healthcare today, while never forgetting the patient beneath the technology. Neuroscience nurses who are highly skilled, competent, and provide compassionate care are instrumental in improving patient outcomes. They are advocates, teachers, and leaders in the field of neuroscience. Many of our colleagues are already doing this, many more are mentoring others to be great neurosciences nurses of the future. Our patients are the beneficiaries of this excellence.
Vision for the Association:
Identifying individuals with the time, energy, and talents to grow the organization and empower neuroscience nurses to positively influence patient and family outcomes is critical to maintaining AANN as a dynamic, diverse organization. Recruitment of those individuals who are ready and willing to participate in the governance of AANN is key. These individuals will share the vision of providing strong leadership to successfully advance the strategic plan of AANN and ensure that the organization continues as the leading authority in neuroscience nursing.
Development of innovative educational programs at the local and national level will prepare neuroscience nurses to meet the challenge of caring for neuroscience patients and their families. The role of community outreach cannot be understated and is an area I envision for continued growth in AANN. Programs dedicated to the prevention of neurologic injury in the community not only raise awareness but serve as recruitment tools for our profession. These programs offer opportunities to further advocacy efforts, expand our partnerships and alliances, and will secure the future of our specialty.
Accomplishments in Professional Positions:
The pursuit of knowledge is commendable and should be encouraged at every opportunity. However, too often that knowledge is not disseminated. I believe dissemination of knowledge is crucial and seize every opportunity to share knowledge with others. Over my career, I have mentored novice nurses, regularly presented at professional conferences, published in peer-reviewed journals, and developed educational curricula for novice nurses and graduate students. I consider communication of knowledge gained to be one of my strongest professional accomplishments.
As a neuroscience critical care nurse for over 25 years, my various roles have included clinical nurse, neuro-oncology clinical coordinator, nurse practitioner, clinical specialist, and most recently graduate faculty. In these roles, I have facilitated the transition of countless novice nurses to the complex and challenging world of neuroscience nursing while simultaneously providing education and support for experienced clinical nurses. These experiences led to my interest in the processing of moral distress among experienced and novice nurses and was the basis of my PhD dissertation. Significant findings in this research study were related to issues associated with medical futility and opportunities for improved interdisciplinary communication. These are not uncommon issues in the neuroscience care setting and have great implications for the neuroscience nurse.
Accomplishments in Leadership Positions:
As a member of the AANN Awards Committee from 2012-2016, recognizing the excellence of members was an extraordinary opportunity to appreciate the talents that exist within our specialty. As chair of the Committee from 2014-2016, committee updates were presented during leadership calls and deadlines were met in a timely manner throughout my tenure. Under my leadership, in concert with the Board liaison, the Committee reviewed the Mary Decker award and made recommendations for revision of the award due to a lack of qualified nominations. It is hoped that the new criteria will bring an increase in exceptional nominations for the 2017 call.
As the lead of the neuroscience critical care education team my primary responsibility was the education of clinical nurses. Due to the expansion of the neuroscience program several years ago at our institution, an influx of novice nurses was hired to prepare for the anticipated increase in patient volume. To meet this need while ensuring quality care was provided, the neuroscience education team under my leadership redesigned the orientation program. In the first year of the program over 100 novice nurses were prepared to confidently care for the complex neuroscience patient. The program continues today and has been a model for other clinical units at our institution.

Chennai, Sep 26: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) today decided to continue with former captain Ravi Shastri as Team India Director till the ICC Wold Cup 2015.
At its Working Committee meeting, BCCI expressed its "gratitude" to Shastri for the same role during the England tour and decided to have his services till the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Shastri was appointed Team Director for the ODI series and T20I in England last month. India had won that series.
BCCI has also retained the Indian support staff of Sanjay Bangar, Bharat Arun (both assistant coaches) and R Sridhar (fielding coach). They were also appointed along with Shastri last month. The Board also said Duncan Fletcher will continue as the coach of the team.
Shastri will be with the team for the forthcoming home series against the West Indies and will also travel to Australia for the Test and limited overs series before the World Cup.
"The Committee expressed its gratitude to Mr. Ravi Shastri for having accepted the request to oversee the activities of the Indian Team as a Director for ODIs and the T20 International during the England tour," BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel said in a media release on Friday.
"Mr. Ravi Shastri will oversee the activities of the Indian Team as a Director during the West Indies Home Series and the Test Series in Australia. He will be with the Indian Team on a full-time basis during the Triangular series in Australia and also for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.
"Mr. Duncan Fletcher will continue as the Coach of the Indian Team. The Committee also approved the appointment of Mr. Sanjay Bangar and Mr. B. Arun as Assistant Coaches, and Mr. R. Sridhar as the Fielding Coach," he added.

Charles, please understand that what you have presented is a stack trace, not a thread dump: the difference is that a thread dump is a stack trace for every live thread in the JVM (which can show deadlocks) and you have provided only a single stack trace which cannot show a deadlock (it can only show that the thread is waiting on some condition). To demonstrate deadlock, you need to be able to see the condition being awaited in one thread, a lock held in another thread, and then the opposite scenario in another thread (or a single thread running into its own locks). Your stack trace does not show that the thread already holds the lock being awaited at the top of the stack trace. It is entirely possible that both Spring and Terrecotta attempt to synchronize on the same object (HttpSession) and that the thread is deadlocking on itself. If this is trivially-repeatable every time Terrecotta attempts to do whatever it is doing (hard to tell... Hibernate is executing a SQL query which ... uses the session?!?), then perhaps you have identified the problem and the Spring configuration to synchronize on a session attribute rather than the session itself will fix the problem. On the other hand, if the problem is different and yet you have arrived at your "Spring + Terrecotta = deadlock" conclusion due to treating Google as a consultant, then you may be barking up the wrong tree. Sorry: we like to get enough facts before we tell you a) what the problem is and b) how to fix it rather than just saying "I Googled for 'terra cotta deadlock' and someone said that if you use Spring, you get deadlocks" and telling you to go away. Instead, we'd rather help you fix your actual problem and educate you at the same time. > It would appear that logic in your application threads has either > created a deadlock, or failed to unlock something before > returning, That's a tall order unless native code is involved, I believe.

Also, knowing whether the thread is deadlocking itself versus another thread deadlocking with it is a very important piece of information to have. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJRioxWAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYz2AQAKbMT6qRh1oKvKdgBEUe1fJl yqgyB0JOkb9pZ42P2bVovJJtO5A15tWw8NigEbKc+CwJMv9rgOzqRY7y30oih9mK yhu5C/sEFDPlPPzt0H5CT3YFqVOoJMpstmgFBA0FBLKEaqmzdc61WIohQqJmv2J6 2z3vNvmH1xBucEqgOrOEn8mp9rbaOHVmQtf6Zh1QaxhBzA0CREnnwz0FvFEhklGx rlpwkQafjcKjCCP6eaiurtZJtv4S0hJQJSOmLQKBdm3DY/dRokeN/ROnxn3DpqfX e2JP4eAC2NYmKHwhXY3SOviK5Ha9NSB1fbBGSPSPQrjQ2In3UccYs6CENKOKUa68 0WwONHAw/OY0MzCJ6M9cZicX9XhNDNeRUzYlkORQpeAloM5w7Tp9q5fKo3iabFcC NwuWN5O5H5TZ2MSH7UHV9Kf0EA1Zk7Howi2Ea2zV4EnzutdgM5yxq//ow8LTcOdi ED376ckgSMgfV/b8u2tfJ1M9bD5WjD8v+kVbu+ErYzuM6i28iAGN7wrfgO+/Zn2S BuQgcEq/3usUXwnQ5IBAYpVF5DAKv/GeAaV+C8Ft+mb+jgo00Hb7Eqn5eY/w6CL/ 1DM0mgmfcHTlSP4JK5noV73Eip2LmxdPwDFvNBkIiRPq5Av+FSIfIKclJu/piMQ/ d0SCj26GbqSEIOYVUYX7 =3SsJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

The Bombay High Court yesterday directed CBI to hand over the passport of actor Sooraj Pancholi, accused of abetting the suicide of his girlfriend actor Jiah Khan on the condition he will produce it as and when required by the trial court.
Justice Mridula Bhatkar allowed the petition filed by Pancholi seeking return of his passport seized by the investigating agency as per high court order of July 1, 2013 while granting him bail.
The high court while allowing the petition also held that charge sheet has been already filed in the case and the passport is not considered part of evidence in the case.

(NASDAQ: LVLT) reported consolidated revenue of $929 million for the first quarter 2011, compared to consolidated revenue of $921 million for the fourth quarter 2010 and $910 million for the first quarter 2010. The net loss for the first quarter 2011 was $205 million, or $0.12 per share which included charges totaling $0.03 per share, for income tax expense of $27 million, primarily related to deferred tax liabilities attributable to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets, and a loss of $20 million on the extinguishment of debt. The net loss for the fourth quarter 2010 was $52 million, or $0.03 per share, which included an income tax benefit of $93 million, or $0.06 per share. For the first quarter 2010, the net loss was $238 million or $0.14 per share, which included a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $54 million, or $0.03 per share.

I have a request for a T-Rex cake. The customer said I could just do the head, since it's only to feed 25.
I have an idea for modeling a large gumpaste T-Rex head, and placing it on a square or rectangle sheet cake, slightly smaller than the head, but I can't figure out how to combine the two.
How should I decorate the square cake, to make it look normal to have a T-Rex head sitting on top?
She wants it to look more real than cartoonish, since her son loves the scary teeth and the scary look of the T-Rex.
Any ideas?
If you can find a Wilton Megasaurus (2105-202 cake pan, you could put it on the sheet cake. There are several for sale on e-bay.
Thanks, but I don't have time (or the money!) to buy a new pan. I was thinking of surrounding the head (which will be hollow gumpaste) with leaves of some sort, and covering the sheet cake in the same leaves.
I don't know how it will look, though.
hum I'm not sure....maybe instead of sitting on-top of another cake you could have the cake shaped into something the t-rex could be eating like a bone with some blood on the ends (depending on the age of the child of couse)....good luck
I like that idea! Thanks!
you are welcome. Good luck with your cake...!

Like what's the first thought that comes into your mind?
Most Helpful Guy
Trying to calculate age difference... 15 years, okay, the guy is 15 years older than the woman and the woman is 15 years younger than the man. I wonder if the woman likes the man for his money or for something else... Why is this man dating a woman 15 years younger than him?
I wonder if a girl will ever choose me. I got no job and I'm too shy to ask girls out. Now, I'm going to play more League of Legends. I'm going to keep dreaming about activating my hidden powers to save the world from seemingly impossible to defeat evil enemies, maybe girls will like me then or maybe I'll die an epic death and people will feel sorry for me. Or maybe one day I'll become a really cool inventor and girls will finally be impressed with my existence, and I will get laid everyday forever. OR maybe I'll finally become emperor of the universe and I'll finally get a harem for me to enjoy.
YES, I found a match. Hopefully, I can jungle Master Yi again.
Those are my first thoughts, peace.
Final thoughts...
Well, hey at least I'm not a virgin anymore, I slept with four prostitutes last month and I don't need to worry about dying a virgin anymore. The sex was mediocre, but I guess it was better than no sex. I wonder if the Venus Project will every become reality. I wonder who or what I am in the Spirit World. What is the true form of my soul?
Ok, peace for real this time.00|00|0
I made a typo in my fourth to last sentence. It should say,
*I wonder if the Venus Project will ever become reality.*
Have a nice evening! :D

honestly i wonder about their sex life :/ kinda pervy huh?10|10|0

For decades, policies pursued by the U.S. and other industrialized nations towards the developing world have has been based on a dirty little secret among policy experts: democracy and development don't mix. Turning this long-held view on its head, The Democracy Advantage makes a bold case that they do.
In this timely, penetrating analysis, the authors of this path breaking book dismantle the conventional wisdom that democratic reforms are destabilizing and that the U.S. must first promote development- often relying on authoritarian regimes – in order to create a middle class that will support democracy.
Reviewing 40 years of hard, empirical data, from China and India to Chile and Iraq, the authors show that poor democracies beat poor autocracies in every economic measure. In addition, the authors offer dramatic evidence that democracies are less likely to fight each other and that terrorists more often find safe haven in authoritarian countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan.
Wide-ranging and grounded in solid research, The Democratic Advantage outlines a new vision of foreign policy that combines the best of America's democratic and economic values.

Hardware Going Nowhere?
Retailers piece together service options for in-store technology.
Point-of-sale register on the fritz? PC has a glitch? Need a good fix? Call 1-800 or is it 1-888 or maybe you should call the guy who came in the other day and fixed the broken window. Heck, maybe your supervisor will know who to call . . .
Whether facing a hiccup or a major crash, the road to repair is not an easily traveled one for most convenience store operators. While large chains may have internal help desks, dedicated personnel and a warehouse of devices for in-store repairs, most operators cobble together a few extra pieces of hardware, a list of in-house personnel who can handle simple fixes and phone numbers of local dealers and not-so-local equipment manufacturers to keep the business running.
"It's tough," said Gene Gerke, president of Gerke and Associates, a technology consulting firm based in Columbia, Mo. "A lot of smaller and mid-sized companies would like to outsource the repair function. They may not be able to afford a person or half a person in-house to fix store hardware."
Unfortunately, there may not be a local equipment dealer offering a reliable repair service, either. "The retailer often has to figure out a way to do it himself," Gerke said. "A five-store owner is probably working with an equipment dealer somewhere, and depending on his own technical abilities or those of a store manager who has become the informal go-to person because he happens to be a tech geek. Outsourcing or doing things in-house — both are costly and have their own set of headaches."
This great — often unfilled — demand for reliable service has become many retailers' primary driver in the selection of technology.
"I've had to disqualify some pieces of equipment that would be a good fit for us, because of the [inadequate level] of service available," noted Bob Sleeper, senior systems analyst for 40-unit NOCO Express Shops, based in Tonawanda, N.Y. (For more on making hardware decisions, see "That's a Good Question: Buying In-Store Technology," Page 75.)
At NOCO, as at many chains, the way a piece of hardware is repaired depends on what piece it is. If a PC — or anything hooked to the PC — is malfunctioning, the store manager calls NOCO's information technology department, where repairs are handled by two members of the six- person IT team. The company's training center is equipped with PCs identical to those in the stores. "We use them for a wide array of training," Sleeper said. "They are programmed and ready to go."
Problems with other hardware — including the POS system, gas pumps and anything else NOCO owns — are handled by the chain's maintenance department.
"If it is a problem our maintenance department can't handle, then we outsource the repair and pay on a per-call basis," Sleeper said.
Most tech calls routed to the maintenance department are handled by two employees who have taken dealer courses on the chain's in-store equipment. They do some POS reprogramming, replace printers and make other repairs using the receipt printers, PIN pads and keyboards NOCO keeps on hand.
"We can replace a board or rebuild a PC fairly easily. But for something like a total POS replacement, the manufacturer would be called. For a total reprogramming, an outsource company would be called."
This divvying up of repair responsibilities can be a bit confusing for store employees, however, Sleeper admitted.
Despite the occasional call that goes astray and a "fairly decent" relationship with the outsource repair firm, handling repairs in-house is much more efficient than looking outside for help, he said.
"When you do it yourself, you can control the response time, especially in critical situations. For certain devices, though, it doesn't make sense to keep extras and personnel in-house for repair, because they aren't critical."
The return on investment for a service contract or in-house repair person isn't always clear-cut. "There are no benchmarks on how often things fail or how often you will need to call on an outsourced repair service or in-house person," Sleeper said. "Things often go in waves. But investing in an in-house person or paying for a reliable service contract is like paying insurance; you know you'll eventually need it."
Keeping It In-House
While outsourcing repairs allows smaller chains to respond fairly quickly to mission-critical failures without inventorying hardware or paying in-house salaries, an outsource vendor may not have the same sense of urgency as the store operator, warned Mike Cooper, manager of MIS for The Pinnacle Corp., Arlington, Texas.
With an in-house repair staff, retailers have complete control over the quality of the repair. In-house personnel also have better knowledge of the store's equipment.
That's the case at Kwik Trip Inc., based in LaCrosse, Wis., where an eight-person, 24-hour communication center fields calls for all types of help from 300 c-stores in three states. This help desk is able to answer 80 to 90 percent of the calls regarding store technology on the fritz, according to Ron Sissel, manager, retail automation. Help-desk software enables employees at the communications center to determine the problem quickly.
Kwik Trip also has a PC help desk, which takes over calls relating to the chain's PCs (used at the register, in the backroom and for computer-based training) and its routers that are too difficult or time-consuming for the communications center to handle. The four-person PC help desk is manned from 6 a.m. until 5 p.m. and deals mostly with software-related questions. PC hardware problems are handled by three PC maintenance workers, who also do yearly preventive maintenance on each of the chain's computers to avoid major failures. One of the PC maintenance workers is always on call.
The use of frame-relay technology — initially implemented for speedier credit/debit transactions — has greatly benefited in-house repair efforts. "It is fantastic for support," Sissel said. "Most of the PC-related problems we run into are user misunderstandings. With frame relay we can track any computer [in the field] and take it over. We can see what the user is doing as he is doing it."
For every 12 to 15 stores, Kwik Trip has a complete backup system at one unit. Downtime is minimal. "If there is a failure, the manager can drive to that store, pick up new equipment and replace it," Sissel noted. "We try to keep the drive to a new system less than 50 miles. If there is a failure of a scanner or printer, the manager can drive to that store and replace it. If a PC goes down, then we dispatch someone from here."
The chain also has 20 systems in rotation. Broken components are refurbished and reused. Using the warehouse and delivery trucks already in place for Kwik Trip's own product warehouse, new hardware can be regularly delivered to stores.
"A manager gets deliveries from our warehouse three times a week," Sissel said. "If he has a printer down, he may just wait for the next truck to bring one."
Most of the chain's equipment is NCR brand and the chain is a certified NCR service shop. Its maintenance workers also are certified to fix Xerox and Okidata printers. If a device breaks down, it is brought in-house and fixed.
"If we used NCR service instead of doing it ourselves, it could be a four- to eight-hour response time," he said. "Then, they may not have our parts on hand. We could be down for a day and a half."
Even taking the downtime out of the equation, the cost of outside service fees alone makes having an in-house staff valuable, Sissel said. "We save a great deal of money."
Occasionally, Kwik Trip will dispatch a rep from a local computer shop for a quick repair on a non-essential piece of equipment. "We will tell them what needs to be done and send them the part to do it. We are four hours from Milwaukee. A local person may do a repair for $200, when it would cost us $400 or $500 to do it ourselves."
A central help desk also routes calls for hardware repairs from Quick Chek Food Stores Inc.'s 106 units. The Whitehouse Station, N.J.-based chain operates its help desk from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week, and from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekends, according to Subhash Shah, chief of information systems. During off hours, someone handling in-store repairs is on call via pager and cell phone.
Three employees on the help-desk staff are designated for technological help. They are supported by the chain's wide area network. "We can dial in to every store," Shah said. "If there is a problem with a program on the computer or something else we can access, we can walk them through a solution over the phone. If it is a hardware problem, we walk them though a process."
Help-desk personnel and two field maintenance employees have come up through the chain's operations, noted Bruce Stevenson, systems manager. "Through the years, every time we put a new system in, they've been very involved, so they have intimate knowledge of the equipment," he said.
Quick Chek runs its own repair depot and inventories most of the components needed. Because its stores are no more than two hours away from headquarters, a tech maintenance employee will go to a store with a working piece of hardware, install it and bring back the broken piece for repair.
Keeping Busy
While some retailers worry an in-house repair tech may be underused, such concerns are misplaced, Pinnacle's Cooper said. "With training and foresight, it's easy to control the person's downtime, if he is responsible for non-POS equipment, too. But the retailer shouldn't have such a large workload that repairs suffer. The retailer's dream should be that everything runs so well that the repair person has a lot of downtime!"
When estimating the value of an in-house repair staff, retailers should consider the age of the equipment, warranties, the staff's training and the number of stores to be covered. "Going back a few years, when we were not technologically advanced and had only one PC in the store, we outsourced service," Quick Chek's Stevenson noted. "Now, we have enough equipment to support in-house maintenance — at a lower cost. As time goes on, the in-house repair staff becomes more valuable. You realize the benefits of having repairs centralized and under your control. "
Still, many retailers don't want the overhead or have in-house expertise. For these, a number of outside companies act as repair depots, especially for plug-and-play devices that need little expertise to swap in and out. In this scenario, the operator ships the problem device to the depot, while the depot overnights the store a working, usually refurbished, device it has warehoused. After the depot fixes the malfunctioning device, the device is added to its own inventory, ready to be sent out to the next retailer who needs it. Or, the operator swaps in a working device he has warehoused and ships the broken one out to the depot for repair.
PayPoint Electronic Payment Systems, the Los Angeles-based electronic payment processor, for example, got into the business of payment equipment sales, replacement, repair, storage, inventory management, technical support and troubleshooting when its retail clients expressed a strong desire for such services. (PayPoint is a wholly owned subsidiary of ARCO, now a part of the BP group of companies.) For a fixed monthly rate, PayPoint Deployment Center (PDC) acts as a single point of contact for c-store operators and other retailers, such as Albertson's, when their POS cashier pads, PIN pads, receipt printers, cables and check readers go on the fritz.
PDC maintains spare payment equipment in its warehouse. When a retailer orders a replacement, PDC techs pull a refurbished piece from its inventory, make the necessary technical configurations and, in most cases, ship it overnight to the retailer.
Smaller operators rely on the company for tech support and troubleshooting, noted Chris Dragan, PDC's supervisor. "Often, our techs can solve a problem on the phone in five minutes. Maybe there is a loose connection or the device needs something downloaded over the phone."
Whatever system a retailer has in place for getting a piece of in-store technology fixed, Dragan had this advice: Label every piece of hardware in the store with the serial number and service phone number. Maintain this on a master list, too.
No matter what percentage of repairs is outsourced, or the size of the chain, every c-store operator should have an internal "go-to" person and clear contingency plan for store-level employees.
"You don't want 25 store managers making the decision of whether or not to call in an outsider for repair," Quick Chek's Stevenson said.
Pinnacle's Cooper strongly agrees with that advice. A few years ago, as an outsource repair tech, he arrived at a major oil company's c-store site to find the doors locked, and several irate customers trying to get the store's employees to turn the pumps on. "The personnel had locked the doors two hours before I arrived, because its only cash register — an old Casio — had malfunctioned."
The register was fixed in less than two minutes. "The repair needed no tools and would have been easy for the store manager to do," he said. "While I was there, I taught the manager how to make the repair. However, if the corporate office had had a person who could get to the store and perform this type of repair, it would have saved them the repair cost and downtime."
End note: The manager quit three weeks later.

Sun Cedar and Douglas County partner to aid vulnerable workers
Lawrence, KS, March 21, 2016 –" I never had a chance before. Sun Cedar gave me a chance, and now I see that working for them, is really working on myself," says Abraham White Weasel, now shop manager at Sun Cedar after overcoming a lifetime of hardship and homelessness."
Successful reentry into society after incarceration has had a historically poor rate of success: without intervention, as many as 70 percent of ex-offenders are rearrested within three years of release. Sun Cedar addresses this issue with a holistic work program that empowers this vulnerable employee population by giving them a chance to work, with a strong focus on training and skills to secure steady mainstream employment.
With a successful Kickstarter campaign in May 2015, Sun Cedar re-tooled their shop, upgrading the equipment used to make Sun Cedar's signature ornamental cedar air fresheners. This upgrade proved to be highly successful and the Sun Cedar program has thrived in the year since.
As a result of this success and forward movement, Sun Cedar is now partnering with the Douglas County Sheriff's and Penn House, a well-known local charity. The new space at Penn House is just two blocks from the courthouse, this allows employees to easily manage any legal issues and gives them access to Reentry case management, resume building, GED tutoring, and other classes tailored to help them reintegrate into society.
Director, Shine Adams is enthusiastic to start the next big push: a new crowdfunding campaign (Go Fund Me) with a goal of $75,000 in April 2016. A big goal? You bet. But, Sun Cedar needs big goals to keep growing and serving this vulnerable population. The $75,000 will go towards keeping the lights on and doors open at the new Penn House, office and shipping space, two full-time positions for a year and more.
For additional information, please contact Shine Adams, Director of Sun Cedar.

Cahill - We must repay Moyes
Tim Cahill has called on his Everton team-mates to take the pressure off David Moyes by returning to top form.
Last Updated: 19/02/11 10:14am
Tim Cahill has called on his Everton team-mates to take the pressure off manager David Moyes by returning to top form.
The Toffees were tipped to challenge for European qualification at the start of the season but have struggled to find any consistency.
They remain in the bottom half of the Premier League table, just three points clear of the relegation zone, with 12 matches left to be played.
Cahill insists that is enough time to secure a respectable finish closer to what they had targeted, and does not think Moyes should be criticised.
He feels the squad is so strong, with many experienced internationals, that it is the players who must take the flak.
And Australian midfielder Cahill is determined to lead a revival to repay Moyes for all his good work over the years.
"There are three months left in a massive season and I don't feel the alarm bells should be ringing out," he said ahead of Saturday's FA Cup tie against Chelsea.
"We should look at what we have got: great staff, great fans, great team and remember what we are good at, which is grafting with the best of them for every game rather than just chosen ones.
"As hard as it is for the players and the staff it must be especially difficult for the supporters to watch indifferent performances week in, week out."
Cahill, who was brought to Goodison Park from Millwall in 2004, is full of respect for Moyes and insists the manager still has the support of the dressing room.
He explained: "The hardest thing as a player is letting your manager down, the fans and then yourselves.
"There is no sense from me that the manager's message isn't getting across. He has helped make my career. He has helped make a lot of players' careers and we need to remember the good stuff, not just on the pitch but what he's done for us off it and repay that.
"You can mention whoever you want and he's helped them. Steven Pienaar was playing in the Champions League the other night, Joleon Lescott is playing for one of the biggest teams in the world, and they have a lot to thank this manager for.
"He resurrected their careers. A lot of us wouldn't be at Everton if it wasn't for the manager. Yes, we've done a bit ourselves but the guidance we received off him has been invaluable.
"I look around the dressing room and Johnny (Heitinga) played in the World Cup final, Mikel (Arteta) is one of the best players in the Premier League, Phil Neville has won six Premier League titles, there's (Marouane) Fellaini and a lot of other internationals in the team.
"I look around the team and see superstars and it is all about us finding each other again and making sure we remember how good we are and trust each other on the pitch again.
"It is not only Chelsea this weekend, but Sunderland next week and in training. There are a lot of players on new contracts with bright futures with Everton and we need to repay the manager, the chairman and the fans by showing that."

"book of Mrs Bush"
very very good. awesome awesome :) thank very much for writing this book. :) .
"She is the American Princess Di"
From the tainted media picture, Laura is portrayed as the wall flower, cookie baking librarian. Yet this book sheds light on the amazing accomplishments she did international for women's rights, UN, and put her life in danger multiple times. In addtion, to the multiple trips to Africa for AIDs. Plus, her account gives a human perspective of the White House experience. She is a great lady and we were blessed to have her and W in the White House. Eventhough, W did not control congressional spending. Compared to the Obamas, wow we did not know how good we had it.
Jeff Vreeland
"Splended Look From the First Lady"
First off, this is a book not about Politics but about the viewpoint of a very smart and intelligent First Lady.
I expected more politics but was pleasantly surprised to get a full picture being painted of the life of Laura Bush.
Tell us about yourself!
"I loved it!"
Thanks Laura for revealing your life....especially those parts in which you differ from your husband's point of view. I normally like his perspective....but, yours is important too!
"Overall boring... a disappointment"
Laura Bush came across as a lovely person and a very gracious First Lady. I think she did a wonderful job in the White House. There were parts of this book that I enjoyed but they were in the minority. Much of the second part of the book was just a current events recount. I would give the first half of the book a three and the second half a two.
"A lady first..."
A fan of self-read memoir, I just couldn't resist this. This is the woman overshadowed and standing by the man who just may be the most divisive US President in history, held in contempt by international opinion... and what a class act she is. I thoroughly enjoyed this sincerely-read, well-crafted book. She is careful to stay away from controversy, but there is a fiery streak in there that comes through when she hits on topics that matter to her. You can tell. Surprisingly, a lot of Laura comes through what must have been a book heavily-reviewed by handlers, without coming off as tinned and overproduced. I would have chosen the unabridged version had one been available. There is a lot to this story that she isn't telling, but what she does say in her own words makes her a very likable First Lady indeed.
"Truley spoken from the heart"
I loved this book by Laura Bush, she was very honest and it shows. She told more about her life than you would ever expect. After listening to Laura read this book, I wish I could say she was my best friend. Laura is true to herself as well as to the american people.
Attorney & Artist
"Just Lovely"
A sweet and intimate account, beautifully presented by the author herself, personalizing Laura and George Bush in a very appealing way. Thoughtfully and kindly shared, the story presents an inside view of a rarified environment to which few have access.
"Personal view"
The book was personal with some information as to the inside the life
of Laura and GWBush. Most of the personal stories and facts were interesting
along with Lauras view point on her husbands time as President and how it affected her personally.
"Laura Bush At Her Best!"
This book was so informative and entertaining. Being read by Mrs. Bush really added to the experience. Full of insight into the first family and this incredible woman!

I had a thought that it would be very handy if you could extend this functionality to approve them and put them in a certain group (which I would then force moderation on) and/or in the manual approval screen, have the option there to add them to a certain group.
It's nothing I can't do manually but I would be chasing the user around admincp to do it. This would be a bit slicker.
If this already exists - forgive me, I will keep my trap shut.

There are several retail stores that sell granite in Boise, ID. Normally, they saw raw materials, for example slabs of granite, that must then be taken to a fabricator and cut to fit your specific project. Whether you are looking for a countertop, kitchen island or specialty item, granite adds value to a home. Normally the stone is polished and just needs to holes cut for the sink or cut to a different size or have the edges roughed or polished.
There are several factors in selecting granite. First is color. Finding a particular color and grain makes all the difference. From there it needs to be big enough. Also verify that the slab is thick so that it will be able to handle whatever load you have in mind for it. Once you have selected the stone, your supplier can recommend a fabricator to make the appropriate customizations for your needs.

THE SCION....Laura Rozen reports in the current issue of the Monthly that Washington DC is now home to yet another smiling Iraqi with a distinct agenda, a fluent command of English, and strong connections. This time it's Qubad Talabani, the son of Iraqi President Jalal Talabani:
Talabani is hardly the first cosmopolitan, culturally dexterous representative of a foreign interest to find his cause in vogue in the halls of American government. The Iraqi exile leader Ahmad Chalabi was also a charismatic, effective Washington advocate, who systematically persuaded influential constituencies, and ultimately the Bush administration, to lend the U.S. Army to his longtime struggle against Saddam Hussein. But Qubad is different. He's of a younger generation, more pragmatic than idealistic, less enmeshed in neoconservative Republican politics and with less of the seductive con-man qualities of the old master. "We have friends on the Democratic and Republican sides," Talabani says. "It is not our game to play American politics. Chalabi did that and failed. We are not taking sides."Talabani's agenda? Keep the Americans in Iraq, ensure that the promised elections in oil-rich Kirkuk are held on time, and sell Kurdistan as Iraq's great success story to anyone who will listen.

Our Mission
Touched By An Animal preserves the nurturing bond between people and their companion animals by helping the Elderly and others maintain this loving relationship and by providing lifetime homes for cats, when needed, in our home, where Cats-Are-Purrsons-Too.
Our Core Beliefs
To each person TOUCHED BY AN ANIMAL it's clear. God's message:
Unconditional love makes life's meaning more dear
To honor that bond, to rejoice in that truth is why we are here.
But we need to be touched by Angels like you
To enable us to continue the work that we do
For people, for animals, for a gentler society too.
To respond to each need we want to be there
Please help us help them – Please show that YOU CARE!
Ways You Can Help
Networking empowers exponentially. Spread the message of what we do!
What are we all about?
Our UNIQUE MISSION serves to aid companion animals whose persons are both willing and grateful to have and keep them but who may need assistance in the form of food and litter donations, vet care expenses, and boarding. Many of the people we help — the elderly, the homeless, or those who are in transition (both financially and geographically) — fall within the underserved (and sadly, often forgotten and dismissed) population. Their companion animals are in need of temporary and/or lifetime homes, veterinary care, and nutrition.

A funny thing happened on the way home from TED.
TED – Technology, Entertainment, Design – is the high-end, slightly cultish conference where brainiacs with big ideas give 18-minute talks – not lectures, not speeches – to a well-heeled, mostly American audience. People pay a minimum of $8,500 (U.S.) to attend, celebrities show up and you hear words such as "audacious," "bold," and "imagine" (as an instruction) with disquieting regularity.
This is the third year that the organization's main conference has been held in Vancouver; I've been covering it each year as a journalist.
Sharing a taxi home with a colleague one day this week, the conversation somehow turned to the Holocaust. My colleague and I were comparing notes about our families' experiences when the driver piped up with an inquiry. What were we talking about, he wanted to know. He was only vaguely aware of the term "the Holocaust." Did it have something to do with those very thin people who had starved to death? Was Hitler somehow involved?
Now this was like mental whiplash: I had spent the day listening to people such as Ottawa "biohacker" Andrew Pelling walk us through growing ears in a petri dish using apples and human cells; and Boston-based biomedical engineer Laura Indolfi explain a tumour-caging device she is developing to fight pancreatic cancer. So to turn around that evening and encounter someone who was unfamiliar with one of the defining catastrophes of the 20th century felt rather discombobulating.
But then I started thinking about the benefits of travelling outside my own bubble of existence, as I had that weird day – first moving among Silicon Valley visionaries who populate the hallways at TED, and then having a meaningful conversation with that genuinely curious cab driver who was largely unaware of the terrible experiences that had befallen my family.
I've probably been watching too many TED talks this week, but I thought: There are lessons to learn from both.
The theme of this week's conference was "Dream" (if you don't buy into the TED thing, it really can be irritating). Perhaps coloured by this weird juxtaposition of the TED talkers and the taxi driver, I started thinking about the speakers who had landed on or advanced their dream vocation not just by thinking outside the box, but by venturing beyond their usual circle of experience.
Shonda Rhimes, the powerhouse creator of ABC's Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder, talked about a life experiment she conducted: She would say yes to everything for a year – and ultimately beyond (a project that apparently did not include saying yes to my interview request).
There was one yes that was particularly profound. One day as she was leaving the house, her toddler asked her to play. Instead of rushing off, she stopped and played – and made a vow to do so every time one of her kids asked.
It had a "magical" effect on her home life – but also a stunning side effect.
This went down at a time when Ms. Rhimes was having some creative challenges. But something amazing happened when she ventured outside her workaholic bubble – even for 15 minutes to play with her kids on the way out the door: she discovered that play improved her work.
"Saying yes to playing with my children likely saved my career," she said.
I may have cursed Ms. Rhimes and her vow every morning this week as I hustled my son out the door so I could make it to the TED media room by 8 a.m. (15 minutes to play – as if), but I can't argue with her central premise: Trying something different can open up the creative floodgates.
It's something to think about next time you book accommodations through Airbnb, the roots of which can be traced back to a 2005 yard sale in Rhode Island. After graduating from design school, Joe Gebbia was unloading his belongings. He sold a piece of his artwork to a guy driving across the country before joining the Peace Corps.
Yard-sale chat turned to a beer at the bar and when the stranger said he didn't have a place to spend the night, Mr. Gebbia invited him to sleep in his living room – on an air bed.
Two years later, Mr. Gebbia was living in San Francisco. He was unemployed and almost broke, his roommate moved out, and his rent went up. Then he learned there was a design conference coming to town and hotels were sold out. With a new roommate, he retrieved that same air bed from the closet. "We built a basic website and Air Bed and Breakfast was born," he said.
More than 80 million people have since signed on to the service.
Would Mr. Gebbia have conceived and co-founded Airbnb had he not pursued a social encounter with the Peace Corps guy? Maybe. But even if it doesn't lead to a startup that becomes a money-maker and major disruptive force, isn't bursting the bubble of your own comfort zone worth it – just for the experience?
We spend so much time in our social and occupational echo chambers, insulated. Venturing out may be a shock to the system, but it also seems essential for discovery.Report Typo/Error

Grocers Get Awards at FMI Midwinter Conference
WASHINGTON -- In appreciation of their exceptional service to the community, consumers and the industry, Jack Brown, chairman and c.e.o. of Colton, Calif.-based Stater Brothers Markets, and William J. Grize, president and c.e.o. of Qunicy, Mass.-based Ahold USA, were awarded the Sydney R. Rabb Award. Food Marketing Institute Board Chair Liz Minyard presented the awards during FMI's 2005 Midwinter Executive Conference in Boca Raton, Fla.
WASHINGTON -- In appreciation of their exceptional service to the community, consumers and the industry, Jack Brown, chairman and c.e.o. of Colton, Calif.-based Stater Brothers Markets, and William J. Grize, president and c.e.o. of Qunicy, Mass.-based Ahold USA, were awarded the Sydney R. Rabb Award. Food Marketing Institute Board Chair Liz Minyard presented the awards during FMI's 2005 Midwinter Executive Conference in Boca Raton, Fla.
As head of one of the country's most successful private companies, Jack Brown "knows his customers and he knows the people who make his company work," said Minyard.
"It's hard to find a cause Jack doesn't support -- especially if it involves children and the hungry."
"Through the Horatio Alger Association, Jack grants scholarships to needy children," continued Minyard. "In 1992 he received the prestigious Horatio Alger Award, honoring his outstanding contributions to the American Dream. He was a founder of the Boys and Girls Club of San Bernardino and helped create the Children's Fund of San Bernardino County. To date, the fund has served nearly half a million abused and at-risk children.
"To help feed the hungry," she said, "Jack is a champion of Food for All, a program that raises money by selling gift cards and accepting donations at checkstands. In order to make the program more efficient and to extend its reach, Jack worked with FMI and the Uniform Code Council to have bar codes put on Food for All cards. With this technology, his company became the first to roll out the program chainwide. Many other companies soon followed his lead."
Ahold USA's Grize has devoted his entire career to the food industry, spanning 45 years.
"Bill's service to the industry can be summed up in a single word: passion," said Minyard as she presented the award. "And he has applied that passion most to industry relations." Grize is now completing his second term as FMI's vice chair of industry relations. He also serves on the Uniform Code Council.
In these positions, Grize has worked to "lay the foundation for the technology of the 21st century," noted Minyard. "He has been a strong advocate for the UCCnet and the Global Data Registry, which is the record of products that enables technology to communicate over UCCnet. This technology is the foundation for ending invoice errors and out-of-stocks. Bill's company was instrumental in developing the Global Data Synchronization Launch Pad, a Web site that provides retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers with a road map for synchronization."
Grize has "carried on the Rabb tradition of community service in many areas," continued Minyard. "The best example is Bill's support of the Jimmy Fund. This charity supports research and care at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where Bill serves as a trustee."
"Under Bill's leadership, Stop & Shop has become one of the charity's primary benefactors. The company has joined with the Boston Red Sox to raise over $30 million in the charity's most successful corporate fundraising effort -- the Triple Winner Program." The company also established what is known today as the Stop & Shop Pediatric Brain Tumor Clinic. This center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute treats 500 children a year.
In other FMI award news, Weis Markets president and c.e.o. Norman S. Rich received the 2005 Glen P. Woodard Jr. Public Affairs Award in recognition of outstanding leadership in government affairs at the national and grassroots level, at the 2005 FMI Midwinter Executive Conference.
"In the Glen Woodard tradition, Norm has a solid relationship with his congressional delegation," said FMI president and c.e.o. Tim Hammonds in presenting the award. "He is a strong supporter of FMI's FoodPAC and a member of FMI's action team of advocates who educate lawmakers about critical issues. At the state level, Mr. Rich hosts a Growers Dinner every year with the Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture."
Rich is active in the Children's Miracle Network at the Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa. and his company is widely known for sponsoring an annual charity golf tournament, which has raised over half a million dollars for neonatal care programs, women's health, and clinics for the working poor.

Mayhem # 806148
About MeI am a bit of a mutt when it comes to ethnicity: italian, korean, irish, swedish.
I am looking for any opportunities to develop my portfolio, which is pretty non-existent at the moment. I am experienced in fitness competitions and like to keep myself in condition for fitness modeling/bikini/etc.
Looking for TFP/TFCD opportunities and paid as well if it presents itself.
Would love to work with someone on any artistic project of some sort that focuses on the body, fashion, glamour, 80's inspired, abstract, grease covered, rain/shine...ANYTHING! I want to see what we can enhance, compliment, contort, and create out of our talents combined.
I have interest in fitness, food (I'm a dietitian), import cars (brands like Eneos, Hankook Tires, HKS, Advan, Volks, etc). Would love to work with one of those companies just for the experience and education about the industry, NOT import modeling. I want everything to be classy tasteful, and innovative.
Feel free to message me if you would like to work together. I am also looking to collaborate and build a team of people for hair/makeup to consult for future photo shoots so as to help all parties involved.

Agency: Kitcatt Nohr
Client: WaterAid
International charity WaterAid is launching a viral film featuring a remote-controlled poo, to raise awareness of the issue of poor sanitation in the developing world and generate donations.
WaterAid's mission is to transform lives by improving access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation in the world's poorest communities.
The film, which is part of a major integrated campaign, was created by integrated agency Kitcatt Nohr Alexander Shaw, and rolls out this month. Kitcatt Nohr was tasked with creating a supporter recruitment campaign, with an inspiring, big creative idea.
The campaign targets 35-50 year old professionals, a younger target audience than usual for WaterAid, asking them to sign up to a regular gift, and to sign a petition which calls on the UK Government to help end the lack of toilets in the world's poorest countries.
Kitcatt Nohr's overall creative idea for WaterAid's integrated campaign is 'Dig toilets, not graves'. The campaign, which targets 35-50 year old professionals, aims to show how providing proper sanitation in the form of simple pit toilets can help stop the spread of diarrhoea, which kills 4,000 children every day in developing countries.
The humorous viral ad, which was directed by Jane McGee, follows the journey of a remote-controlled poo-on-wheels as it travels around London. The film shows the surprised and confused reactions of real people, in locations like Tate Modern and Leicester Square, as they try to escape from the poo.
It features a music track (complete with poo sound effects) written and produced exclusively for the film by Ewan Jansen at Sonic Workshop in Australia. The viral aims to bring to life the fact that billions of people in the world's poorest countries suffer from a lack of adequate sanitation.
The film ends with the lines: Imagine you could never escape it. 2.6 billion people can't. Dig toilets, not graves. Digtoilets.org/poo The viral will be hosted on YouTube and will be distributed via social media sites including Twitter and Facebook.
Last month, WaterAid and Kitcatt Nohr launched a TV ad, directed by award-winning director Susannah Hayes, featuring the popular playground song 'Diarrhoea Diarrhoea'.
Other campaign activity includes inserts, email, a microsite digtoilets.org, a PR stunt in London's Trafalgar Square and online display ads. The campaign forms part of an ambitious five year global strategy launched by WaterAid at the end of last year.
Commenting on the campaign, Amy Faulkner, Supporter Recruitment Team Manager at WaterAid said; "This is a funny and light-hearted film, but the message behind it is a serious one. Providing proper sanitation in the form of simple pit toilets can help stop the spread of diarrhoea, which kills 4,000 children every day in developing countries. We hope that people will visit www.digtoilets.org/poo to find out more."
