Institutional Learning Outcomes
Student Learning Outcomes
Student Learning Outcomes (also known as SLOs) are clear and focused statements describing knowledge and concepts, thinking and other skills, and personal attitudes and values that a student will be able to demonstrate at the end (or as a result) of his or her successful completion of a particular course, program or collegiate experience.
Student Learning Outcomes address learning from the student's point of view: "Upon successful completion of this course (or program), the student will be able to…" Student Learning Outcomes thus identify meaningful ends or goals in the process of learning; they also identify knowledge, skills and habits of mind that the student can carry forward in learning and in life.
Service Area Outcomes

ACCJC Recommendations
View Full Report [4 MB PDF] | Accreditation Frequently Asked Questions [PDF]
College Recommendation 1:
To fully meet the standard, the team recommends that the college extend its use of program review to ensure that all administrative units complete a cycle of evaluation that examines their impact on institutional processes that affect student learning. (Standards I.B.1, I.B.2, I.B.3, I.B.4, I.B.6, I.B.7)
College Recommendation 2:
As was recommended by the 2006 evaluation team, "in order to meet the standards, focus on ensuring student success and the quality of programs and services, the team recommends the college... develop and refine its program review process and to identify student learning outcomes at the course, program, and institutional levels. The college should also systematically assess these student learning outcomes and use the results of these assessments for the improvement of institutional effectiveness." In addition, the college should ensure that assessment of program quality occurs for all student support, academic and administrative programs. (2006 Recommendation 2, Eligibility Requirement 10, Standards I.B.l, I.B.4, I.B.7, II.A, II.A.l.b, II.A.l.c, II.A.2.a, II.A.2.b, II.A.2.e, II.A.2.f, II.A.2.g, II.A.2.h, II.A.2.i, II.A.3, II.A.6, II.A.6.a, II.B.1, II.B.4, II.C.l.a, II.C.2, III.A, III.A.6, IV.A.1, IV.A.2.b, IV.A.5, IV.B.l.b)
With regard to Recommendation 2 above, the Commission notes the College has taken significant steps to address the recommendations from the 2006 evaluation team. There remain, however, some portions of the 2006 recommendations that need to be addressed in order to fully meet the Eligibility Requirements and Accreditation Standards.
College Recommendation 3:
As was recommended by the 2006 evaluation team, in order to meet the Standards, the college must "develop a formal assessment process to evaluate the effectiveness of its Distance Education program in meeting the institutional mission. The process should include a systematic evaluation, analysis, communication, and improvement of the program, including assessment of how well each online course is satisfying its student learning outcomes, support for staff development, and technical assistance for faculty." This review must include a formal evaluation of student support services and learning resources including its design and delivery. The college should compare the instructional quality of face-to-face and distance education courses and develop a strategic plan for distance education. (Standards II.A.2.e, II.A.2.f, II.B, II.C.l.c, III.A.5.a)
College Recommendation 4:
To meet Eligibility Requirement 11, the college must finalize its discussion regarding General Education and ensure General Education courses that are consistent with levels of quality and rigor appropriate to higher education be made part of all programs. (Eligibility Requirement 11, Standard II.A.3.a-c)
With regard to Recommendation 4, please note that degree credit for the general education component of a program must be consistent with levels of quality and rigor appropriate to higher education. A deficiency in this area implicates the College's compliance with both Eligibility Requirements and Accreditation Standards.
College Recommendation 5:
To fully meet the standards, the team recommends that the college review personnel procedures for all hiring to ensure consistency, transparency, and confidentiality. (Standards III.A.1.a, III.A.3.a, III.A.3.b.)
College Recommendation 6:
To fully meet the standard, the team recommends that the college reviews its evaluation process for all positions and ensure all staff and faculty (including post-tenure faculty) are evaluated in all operational units on a regular basis. (Standard III.A.1.b)
The Commission notes that issues related to Recommendations from 2006 continue forward in College Recommendations 2 and 3 above. Significant progress has been made in addressing the issues in Recommendation 2 related to SLO assessment. However, the deficiencies noted in Recommendation 3 pertaining to developing a formal assessment process to evaluate the effectiveness of the distance education program have not been addressed.

SUGAR BOWL -- Snow-sport enthusiasts found Super Bowl Sunday to be a big treat in the mountains, with slopes clear of long lift lines and crowded runs.
Ski resorts historically see a major slowdown in traffic during the Super Bowl as many would-be skiers stay home to watch the game and enjoy parties.
That leaves devoted skiers and snowboarders with the mountain almost all to themselves.
The wide-open runs Sunday at Sugar Bowl was proof that many football fans had different priorities than playing in the snow.
Andrew Weston of Sacramento and his girlfriend Christina Johnstone opted to take advantage of the empty slopes.
They've made snowboarding on Super Bowl Sunday a tradition for the past three years.
"The Super Bowl is no big deal to me," said Weston, 49. "I'd rather be there without the long lines. I'll catch the score on the radio on the way home."
San Francisco resident Mark Kerstens, 42, offered to drive his son's Boy Scout troup to the mountains because watching football, even with his home team in the Super Bowl, is of no interest.
Skiing, he says, is a bigger passion.
"I don't even understand all the rules to be honest," Kerstens said. "It's not something I want to watch because I don't know what I'm watching."
Some skiers said they weren't watching the game because they wouldn't root for the Ravens or the 49ers.
"I'm a Detroit Lions fan and my team was out in week six," said Steve Pon of Sacramento. "It's really a non-event for me. If the Lions were in it, I wouldn't be skiing."
Liftopia, an online lift ticket discounter, reports 15 percent of ski resorts across the country offered discounts on tickets on Super Bowl Sunday to encourage people to come out.

Felix good to go for Friday's start in Boston
PHILADELPHIA -- Mariners ace Felix Hernandez said Monday his hip is fine after taking a one-hopper off the bat of Ian Kinsler in the fourth inning of his last start on Saturday in Detroit.
"I'm good," Hernandez said upon arrival at Citizens Bank Park for the Mariners' three-game series with the Phillies.
Hernandez is slated to start Friday when Seattle opens a three-game set in Boston and manager Lloyd McClendon said there's no question the 28-year-old will be ready to roll after his five-inning outing in Detroit, which was the first time he'd thrown less than seven innings in his previous 18 starts.
Hernandez was lifted after 92 pitches, with the five innings equaling his low for the season and ending his Major League-record streak of 16 consecutive starts of seven or more innings with two or less runs allowed.
The American League's ERA leader may skip his between-starts bullpen session this week, but McClendon said that isn't unusual.
"He's fine," McClendon said. "He may push [his bullpen] back. I'm not sure. Sometimes he pushes it back, sometimes he doesn't even throw. But he's fine."

Before addressing their plans for the No. 4 pick in the NBA draft, the Charlotte Bobcats had a bit of a fire to put out.
Rumors circulated Tuesday that the Bobcats had interest in trading second-year player Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, and Bobcats general manager Rich Cho was swift in saying they did not plan to make such a move.
MORE: Cavs shopping No.1 pick | Bird back as Pacers president | 2013 NBA mock draft
"We're not shopping MKG," Cho said. "First off all, I wouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet. So, we're not shopping MKG. We're very happy with MKG. One of our jobs is to listen to every team in the league and their proposals. We're very, very happy with MKG"
The No. 4 pick, well, that's a different story.
Charlotte has considered every possible scenario when it comes to their No. 4 pick in Thursday's NBA draft—trading up, trading back, shopping it for future picks or moving it for players. There's also the chance they won't cut any deal and will pick the best player available. Only a day removed from the draft, Charlotte remains unsure what course of action it will take.
"The process is ongoing, and right now we have some guys that we've targeted for the No. 4 slot," said Rod Higgins, Bobcats president of basketball operations. "But to sit here and say, 'OK, we're going to definitely pick this player.' We don't know what's going to happen in front of us. That's the fun part about this time of the year."
But, in the past, things were a bit clearer around this time of year. The 2013 NBA Draft has been criticized and called weak for months now. It doesn't appear that general opinion will shift before picks are rolling and players are being taken.
The Bobcats remain comfortable that, if they remain at No. 4, they'll come out of Thursday with a player capable of helping improve their 21-61 record from last season.
"I think where we're picking, up high, we're going to get a good player," Chos said. "I know everybody says the draft is weak, but I really feel we're going to get a good player."
Many players the Bobcats would have liked a closer look at were either injured or didn't workout for the team. Nerlens Noel, Alex Len and Anthony Bennett—all considered top-10 picks—couldn't participate in workouts because of injuries suffered in their final collegiate season. Victor Oladipo and Ben McLemore, players who could fill the Bobcats' hole at shooting guard, did not workout for the team, and Cho has a theory about that.
"It's not necessarily that they didn't think it was a good fit and they didn't want to workout for us," Cho said. "Our philosophy has been if a guy wants to workout we want him to workout. There were a few guys that only wanted to workout and shoot.
"We don't want to watch a one-on-zero workout. We've seen these guys a ton, not only in games but in practices. We've seen them shoot. We want to watch them compete. And it's every player and agents prerogative to say, 'Hey, I just want to do a one-on-zero workout."
At this point, the time for workouts has passed and the time to choose is upon us. In its most recent drafts, Charlotte has taken Kidd-Gilchrist, Kemba Walker and Bismack Biyombo. Kidd-Gilchrist and Walkers have proven to be serviceable players, but several holes remain in the Bobcats roster.
"Obviously, our core is young," Higgins said. "You look at some of the things we lacked in last year, defensively we have to get better, our perimeter shooting has to get better. I think that helps you to compete night and night out in this league. Those are going to be some of the needs hopefully we address (Thursday) night as well as in free agency."

BURNLEY schoolchildren will make 'no bones' about telling bad drivers what they think of them at the launch of a new safety campaign.
More than 150 budding movie makers have created a series of animated films to highlight the dangers faced by young pedestrians.
The No Bones project will be overseen by the social enterprise Calico Creative.
Burnley currently has the highest rate of road safety-related accidents among young people in East Lancashire.
The scheme, commiss-ioned by Lancashire County Council (LCC), will see pupils work with partners including Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service.
Those involved learned screenwriting, animation, music and graphic design skills during a trip to the MediaCityUK complex.
County councillor John Fillis, LCC's cabinet member for highways and transport, said: "No Bones delivers important messages about road safety."
Jason Beaumont-Clough, 11, who was involved in designing the No Bones characters, said: "I had a lot of fun."
The movies will shown for the first time at Burnley College, from 4.30pm to 5.45pm on March 3.

Should Be Enough for a Rally
Note: Helene Meisler is taking the rest of the week off. Her next column will appear Monday, Dec. 31.
As I'm sure longtime readers have already guessed, in my view the most bullish development Friday was that the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) got jumpy. It is always so difficult for me to express in words, or even in chart form, what exactly a jumpy VIX looks like. But we do know it when we see it, and a new spike high followed by a close at session lows certainly looks jumpy....481 more words left in this article.

Ok this may not be the best place to ask this (I am new here) but I recently have been struggling with bicep tendonitis. One of my friends says its due to a lack of nutrition and overuse. I buy the overuse but I am eating really well - I'd say 90% Paleo. I also carbbackload and my friend thinks the whole no breakfast thing is wrong. Lot of misunderstanding there. Anyway, I guess I am wondering if anyone here has had tendonitis issues and how they treated it. I am currently icing and resting (as much as I can). Thanks!

I am not a fan of @GeekSquad.Last Friday, I was not able to boot up my #macbook. So Saturday, I brought it in to @BestBuy in Newburgh NY. One of their #GeekSquad techs looked at it, said the battery was fine and the motherboard needed to be replaced. A $600-$700 cost, 2 to 3 week turnaround and data on my hard drive may not be recoverable.After getting up off the floor and catching my breath, I reminded myself "Don't let an "authorized" @Apple technician touch your Apple product." Take it directly to an "authorized Apple employed" technician.As everyone knows, that incredible machine is my livelihood (so there's not missing around). So, I drove to the nearest Apple store (Albany NY).After waiting for about 75 minutes, I sat down at the "genius bar" with an Apple tech. After telling him my situation, he explained what was "not" happening. In 3 minutes and his fingers on the keyboard (no tiny specialized tools), my computer was up and running.Either the Geek Squad tech knew to do the same thing and would have charged me for a new motherboard (with a 30 day warranty) or they would have installed a new motherboard unnecessarily.I have now recovered from the (full) experience.Thanks Apple technician, Albany NY. ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Shardea Thomas-Gay has stayed pretty strong, basically going through the motions since her younger sister was killed two years ago Friday.
But lately it's really started to sink in.
"I feel like this happening to our family, it was supposed to grow us stronger, but in certain instances it's made us weaker," said Thomas-Gay, whose 20-year-old sister Kalil McCoy was shot and killed in 2011. "You know, I don't even know how to talk to my brother anymore. It's hard for me to have a conversation with my mom when she starts to talk about Kalil. I don't want to talk about it because it hurts and I don't know what to say, and I know I can't replace Kalil for either one of them, and I'm not going to have that bond that I had with my sister."
"I have a lot of hard nights, I cry every day, I cry every night," said Lynnette Roebuck, McCoy's mother. "I have to talk to myself so I can stay sane, and I know it's probably crazy to say something like that, but I'm just being real. It's really been hard for me. God gave me four kids. I only have three now. He gave me a set of twins, and I only have one, and it's kind of hard to look at my son and not see his sister."
McCoy's family says it knows there's nothing that will bring her back and that million dollar smile and heart that loved to dance. But her family has decided to sue for wrongful death against the four men involved, including the shooter's aunt, whose car Frederick Wade was driving when he shot and killed McCoy.
Wade is serving life in prison for fatally shooting the Andrew Jackson senior in the head after they left Plush nightclub and had a fight over rolling up her window.
Classmate Jonathan Brooks was sentenced to 15 years in prison for helping hide McCoy's body in the woods of a Tallyrand neighborhood. Alfred Mears and Kenard Mahone are expected to be released from prison next week after serving less than a year as accomplices in the killing.
"Even if you can garnish the prison wages and say, 'Alright, $1 a month you have to pay to Kalil McCoy's foundation or trust or to help her have a park,' that's justice," said attorney John Phillps, who's representing McCoy's family.
Thomas-Gay feels they'll never have complete justice because she has to honor her sister instead of watching her shine.
"I'd rather be on the field watching her dance. I'd rather be on the field screaming and cheering for her, things that have been taken away from us that we'll never be able to do again," Thomas-Gay said. "I have to go on YouTube to watch videos and things like that. Tomorrow's a horrible day, a horrible day -- that's what tomorrow is."

I hope they actually come out with a software update for the iPhone 4 with this feature because it really needs it.
That says something about the quality of his "article". It was so bad that I actually bothered to log in and post about it. He just added a bunch of made up rubbish.
Says who? It's not perfect but that's a huge exaggeration.the slightest jolt will cause the frames in the video capture to go nuts
Again, says who? He seems to just make it up as he goes along.The iPod Touch 4G has a much more stable video capture in terms of movement.
What does that even have to do with VIDEO RECORDING? It takes 5MP STILLS.5 megapixels and auto-focus
Again, more over the top made up exaggerations.desperate cries for more stable video recording
The fourth paragraph is such a mess I won't quote it, but he essentially takes the original information, and adds a ton of rubbish to it.
It won't use it if it isn't necessary or beneficial.This leaves another large margin for error.
The article didn't need elaboration, especially because he wasn't capable of adding anything to it any way.
You don't just make an article a data dump.. then it has no meaning. I think he did a good job adding his own thoughts to the facts.
I'm not in love with the iPhone camera but its not that bad i have taken a 4 hr video on a off road trip and let me say that i was impress, the only complain a have is the bad performance on low light conditions, any how if i wanted a camera phone i'll buy Sony Ericsson and miss all the features of iOS.
It's one thing to add something, it's another to add made up rubbish. Take the original for example:
That is based on facts. Apple obviously has an interest in allowing users to record better video.Apple's interest in allowing users to record better video on their iPhone was revealed this week in a newly published patent application discovered by AppleInsider.
even the slightest jolt will cause the frames in the video capture to go nuts.That's just made up, over the top, rubbish. I can't see how you think that's any better, when in reality it's considerably worse.Apple has noticed its users' desperate cries for more stable video recording
I just think it's poorly written. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
The AppleInsider article is also written by an editor. NO PART of that whole article is absolute fact, it's just a collection of some facts mixed with writer opinion. Anthony used smaller words so we would all understand it better. I also have experienced frame drops in the iPhone 4 so I have a hard time believing that it's, "made up, over the top, rubbish." Go change your diaper.
but much of his critique was spot-on.
e.g. Yes, the "specs of the camera" are relevant here, but the quoted spec '5MP' is less relevant, since it's a marketing fob more than a description of the hardware or how it works.
The iP4 camera seems to show greater distortion when in motion (over the iPT4) because it's a better camera. In suboptimal imaging conditions, some of the enhanced features of the iPhone get degraded. Autofocus doesn't work as well, auto-exposure adjustments may fail, and more pixels means more room for error.
Adding a better motion-compensation routine would probably improve sub-optimal video in some cases, but would show no improvement, or make things even worse for some others. Probably a net positive, for most users. If enabling/disabling isn't an option in "Settings" app, I guarantee you'll find a Cydia tweak that will.
When capturing video, your iPhone CPU is probably already at 40%-50% max power. Additional processing could bump that up to 60%-70% which might translate to 5% greater battery drain at most. Given how conservative the iPhone integrated design is, I'd be shocked if it hit 3% over the existing video capture function.
As for writing quality of the original post/article, I'd rate it "C+" or "B-", take your pick.
I think he only mentioned the mega-pixel specs to support his contention that it was a "good camera" overall. This contention is irrelevant to the issues the article raised, but its not totally unreasonable to offer.
In opposition,
the author may have been trolling, too. Poorly supported contentions, sloppy use of prejudicial expressions and a somewhat lackadaisical approach to accuracy: could mean that he was sloppy or inartful, but if it was written with the intent to get a rise out of troll-biters and provoke interesting discussion on MMi, quite successful.
I upgrade my rating to C++
I have an idea... take a topic that relates to Apple and do a write up in the member written news section and lets see what y'all consider to be A+ journalism.

Muffin has been adopted!
Little Miss Muffin is quite the elegant lady and likes to perch in her cat tree watching life go by. She does appreciate gentle conversation and loving pets. She wiggles and tumbles in delight as her soft fluffy fur is stroked. But if you really want to see her in action, pull out a wand toy -- watch her twirl, leap, and pounce for hours!
Muffin and her three other siblings were found in a back yard at 6-7 weeks of age. She has been the most reserved of the three, and takes time to warm up to her surroundings and bond with her people. Muffin does enjoy other cats and loves to cuddle with them.

Bike TripMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
Justin Time was on a gruelling trip from his hometown of Neutron to the town of Proton. Justin and his bicycle were able to hitch a ride to the town of Electron, which was exactly halfway to Proton. The ride lasted one hour, and was ten times faster than if Justin had cycled the same distance. When Justin got out of the car at Electron he noticed his tire was flat, which meant walking the rest of the way to Proton. Walking took him twice as long as cycling. When Justin finally reached Proton, he repaired his bicycle tire and rode the entire distance home to Neutron. How much time did each trip take and which of the two was faster?
AnswerThe return trip was faster. Since it was one hour to Electron by car, which was ten times faster than cycling, the time from Electron to Proton took an additional 20 hours since he walked, and walking took twice as long as cycling. Therefore, the first half of the trip took a total of 21 hours. The return trip took Justin 20 hours, since he cycled the entire distance and cycling is twice as fast as walking.

Outer Space Men, Symbiotech, Magma C.O.R.P.S., more...
San Diego Comic-Con coverage brought to you by Collectibles Insurance, Big Bad Toy Store, Sekaido, and Monkey Depot.
The Four Horsemen have their work cut out for them. In between sculpting some of the hottest toys on the market for other toy companies, 4H Studios has been steadily gearing up to release more of their in-house creations and licensed product. The Outer Space Men is an example of the latter, a passionate collaboration with the property's creator, Mel Birnkrant, and Onell Designs. Utilizing Onell's interchangable Glyos system, the 3 3/4" figures take the classic space characters into the 21st century with rugged design and imaginative sculpt. The Comic-Con Exclusive Alpha Phase Waves were on display at the show along with a look at the first three standard assortments.
* Wave 1 will include Classic Colors Astro Nautilus and Metamorpho
* Wave 2 Classic Colors Inferno and Xodiac
* Wave 3 Commander Comet and Mysteron
CLICK HERE for a closer look at the Outer Space Men!
The Four Horsemen's plan is to then release figures from their in-house created action figure line Symbiotech. Fans may recall these characters being offered in voting rounds for their FANtastic Exclusive, but always losing out to 7th Kingdom. Symbiotech finally gets its due with an assortment of transforming and interchangeable toys, hopefully by year's end. Figures on display included Oxx and Levia-33, Tygos and Tygolyth, Sonos and Guanos, and Bipedix and Bipedon. An example of the transformation feature was given with Tygolyth. The figure shown HERE demonstrated how the creature's armor and hands can morph into a flying vehicle.
For more images of Symbiotech, CLICK HERE!
If the Outer Space Men and Symbiotech lines are successful (fan reaction at the show was very positive), plans are to proceed with figures from Magma C.O.R.P.S., another in-house 4H property, as well as the winners from FANtastic Exclusive, such as Scarabus. Getting toys made is all about money, money, money and fan support dictates what gets made or not. From what we saw at Comic-Con, the Four Horsemen certainly have our full support.

Have you been following the Summer Olympics? We've really enjoyed watching the events and rooting for our favorite athletes—in fact, we're a bit sad that the games are almost over. Delectable recipes always cheer us up, though, and this British cookbook from our friends at Ryland, Peters & Small is not only full of tasty treats, it's also fun way to commemorate the London Olympics.
Ryland, Peters & Small is a book publisher dedicated to capturing, "in words and pictures, those elements of life that give the greatest pleasure: sharing the perfect meal with friends, baking a batch of cookies with your children on a lazy Saturday and a home that makes you happy every time you open the front door." When they reached out to us with this new book from their line, we loved it and thought you would, too—so we're going to give away a copy!
Classic Artisan Baking by Julian Day compiles recipes for the most popular baked goods from Meg Rivers Artisan Bakery, a renowned British bake shop. Artful photos of delicious desserts fill the book, which is divided into sections for cakes, cookies, bars, breads and tarts. Each section is introduced with photos of English manors, farmhouses and countryside, setting a mood that perfectly complements the recipes—classic and crisp with a touch of rustic charm. Though there is definitely an emphasis on traditional English confections (tiffin, parkin, treacle tart and Banbury cakes, to name just a few), you'll also find recipes for classic tarts and cookies from France and Italy, as well as solid renditions of universal favorites including brownies, carrot cake and banana bread. The difficulty level ranges from quite easy to rather challenging, and there are goodies for almost any occasion, whether you're looking for an everyday snack like hearty muesli bars or a Christmas pudding for a special holiday meal. One thing we especially appreciate about this book is that the author helpfully provides American measurements and oven temperatures, so you don't have to worry about converting from grams or Celsius.
Here's a sample recipe to give you a taste of what Classic Artisan Baking has to offer.
Lavender Loaf
Lavender has been used for centuries as a flavoring for food, and it takes just a tiny amount to transform this simple cake into a delicately flavored delight, perfect for summer eating.
- 1 stick plus 2 Tbsp Butter, soft
- 2/3 cup Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- grated zest of 1 Lemon
- 3 Tbsp ground Almonds
- 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/3 cup Self-Rising Flour*
- 3 tsp dried Lavender flowers
1-lb loaf pan lined with loaf-pan liner
Serves about 8
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating between each addition. Add the lemon zest, ground almonds and flours and beat to a smooth batter. Finally, add the lavender and stir through.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spread level and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. A skewer inserted into the middle of the loaf should come out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
This cake is best eaten on the day of baking, but will keep for up to 4 days in an airtight container or frozen for up to 2 months.
Tip: If using homegrown lavender, be sure to wash it thoroughly and dry it in the oven on low heat. Alternatively, you can buy dried lavender online at www.thefrenchybee.com.
*To make your own self-rising flour, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt.
Want to win a copy of Classic Artisan Baking? To enter the contest, leave a comment on this post telling us which kind of baked good is your favorite to make with Bob's Red Mill products. Cake, cookies, brownies, bread? We want to know! We'll pick a winner from those of you who comment by 11:59 pm on 8/16. In addition to this wonderful book, the winner of the giveaway will receive a package of our Organic White Flour and a bag of Baking Powder, so you'll be ready to try out a classic artisan recipe right away.

'In 46 games Weber is -20 this season while last season he was a +13. Ruff isn't big on plus/minus, but when it gets to this point he said, "I think minus-20, it is what it is. It means you're not on for enough goals for and you're on for way too many against." Weber said, "I'm one of those guys, I'm not going to lie to you I lose some sleep over it, but the sun comes up the next day. The great thing about hockey is you play so much you don't have much time to dwell on it, you got to refocus and turn your energy to the next game. It's little things that I continue to work on in practice and just try to make it a routine and a habit and making sure I'm solid so the plus/minus you can't worry about. It's one of those things that goes up and down and last year I'm sure there were some pluses I shouldn't of had and this year there are some minus I shouldn't have so it's a weird stat."'

The Effect of Magnesium Sulfate Infusion on the Quality of Recovery of Ambulatory Patients
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
A national survey has revealed that 80% of patients experienced pain after surgery and 86% of these patients had moderate, severe or extreme pain (1).Postoperative pain can extend recovery room stay after surgery and it is also a common cause of unanticipated admissions which have important economic implications(2).More importantly, postoperative pain can lead to a poor quality of recovery in ambulatory patients. The Intraoperative use of medications that might decrease postoperative pain is therefore highly desirable.
Some medications such as lidocaine and ketamine have been proved to decrease postoperative pain when given during the Intraoperative period in ambulatory patients(3,4) but it is still unknown if those medications can in fact lead to a better quality of recovery .
Magnesium sulfate is a non-competitive calcium antagonist at the N-methyl-D- aspartate (NMDA) receptor(5). NMDA receptors have an important role on pain modulation (6). The use of Intraoperative magnesium in order to decrease postoperative pain had contradictory results in different studies. Some studies have shown a potential benefit of magnesium in decreasing postoperative pain (7,8) while others have not demonstrated any benefit (9,10).
In the ambulatory setting, specifically, Tramer et al. did not find any improvement on postoperative pain after an Intraoperative dose of magnesium for patients undergoing ilioinguinal hernia repair(11). Koinig et al., however, demonstrated a significant reduction in the postoperative analgesic requirements in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery (12).
Even though, the reduction of postoperative opioid requirement has been used in many studies in the ambulatory literature, it has been recently questioned by some investigators (13).Patients might take more opioid medications but they may not necessarily develop opioid related side effects such as nausea and vomiting. A more global evaluation of the patient involving several aspects of recovery would be more significant.
The modified quality of recovery 40(MQOR40) is a validated 40 item instrument to assess the quality of postoperative recovery (14). Myles et al. concluded that the MQOR40 would be a useful outcome measure to assess the impact on changes in health care delivery (15), but anesthesia studies underutilize this instrument.
As more complex and painful procedures are being done in the ambulatory setting , the use of non-opioid strategies to control postoperative pain and to enhance quality of recovery will have even a greater role in the anesthetic management of patients. Magnesium has not been established as a potential adjuvant in ambulatory patients with conflicting results of previous investigators. The main objective of this study is to evaluate if the Intraoperative use of magnesium have the ability to improve postoperative quality of recovery in ambulatory patients.

LEXINGTON, Ky. â Ninety percent of all businesses fail.
Often, it's because the businesses move away (diversify) from their core.
"Your core is the set of products, customer support and technologies with which you can build the greatest competitive advantage," Damien McLoughlin, professor and dean of business at the University College Dublin in Ireland, told those attending the Alltech International Symposium on Monday.
"Each time we take a step away from the core, the likelihood of failure of our growth plan increases," he said.
So, businesses must ask themselves two hard questions:
- Do you know the core of your business?
- Does your management team know the core of your business?
For farmers, the core may be fairly easy to identify, since most of them are in the business of milking cows or growing crops.
But there are things that can give one farm a competitive advantage over another, such as meticulous record-keeping, cow comfort or milk quality.
McLoughlin offered these four rules for growing businesses or even industries â in the case of the dairy industry, how to sell more milk, cheese and yogurt.
- Have a well-defined and strongly differentiated core business. One way to determine this, he said, is to get out an Excel spreadsheet and identify the most important customers. What products are they buying?
- Follow the customer. What are people buying? What are the profit pools that surround these customers?
- Grow through adjacencies or initiatives that are adjacent to the core. For instance, a company with nutrition at its core may be able to grow through new food products.
- Build repeatable models. In the case of a successful company, stay with the things that made the company a success in the first place. Often, the founder of a business will keep a keen focus, but the focus can blur when the founder leaves.
At Alltech, the host of Monday's symposium, the same person who started the company 33 years ago with a $10,000 investment is still running things â today, with annual sales revenue in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and $1 billion on the horizon.
That person, T. Pearse Lyons, has kept the company focused on its core. The company started with yeast fermentation products at its core and has pretty much stayed there.
Lyons is a strong believer in product branding. Branding adds value, keeps a product from being viewed as a commodity, and builds name recognition and customer loyalty.

Sizemore leaves A's to get MRI; roster move likely
ANAHEIM -- A's second baseman Scott Sizemore sprained his surgically repaired left knee in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Angels and will return to the Bay Area on Wednesday to undergo an MRI exam.
Both Sizemore and his employers are holding out hope that the injury is minor, but with Josh Reddick also out nursing a sprained right wrist, the A's will place one of them -- likely Sizemore -- on the disabled list on Wednesday, in order to ensure enough healthy bodies are on their bench.
Once they do, Andy Parrino will be promoted, MLB.com has learned. The versatile infielder/outfielder, brought over in the offseason in the trade that sent Tyson Ross to the Padres, enjoyed a nice spring with the A's and was batting .174 (4-for-23) in six games with the River Cats through Tuesday.
Parrino hit .207 with one homer and six RBIs in 55 games with San Diego last year, appearing in 26 games at shortstop and 15 at second base, while also playing two games at third and one in right field.
Sizemore sustained the injury in the fourth inning of Tuesday's contest while chasing after a fly ball off the bat of Mike Trout that fell in for a hit. He exited the game and was replaced by Eric Sogard.
"I just kind of stopped, kind of with a straight leg, and it didn't feel right," Sizemore said. "It kind of tightened up on me. ... We'll get it checked out tomorrow and hopefully it's something minor and won't be anything too serious. But, as of now, we don't know anything."
Sizemore underwent surgery on that same knee just last spring as a result of a torn ACL, forcing him to miss all of 2012. Tuesday marked just his second appearance of the season.
Best-case scenario, Sizemore learns that the pain is stemming from scar-tissue tearing.
"That would be good," he said, "but at this point, it's just kind of all speculation, so we just wish for the best."

Sample Size
I like to double casserole recipes and freeze the extra for busy days. But sometimes I'm not sure if a particular casserole will freeze well. In that case, I make only enough for one meal, then freeze a couple tablespoons of it in a small container. After a few days, I thaw and taste the sample. If it tastes good, I have a new freezer recipe. If it doesn't, I've only wasted a tiny amount. —Kathy Chumley, Titusville, Florida

A weight management programme is reaching further into the community by appointing two local dietitians from Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust NHS to help people in Melksham.
Counterweight has been running in various surgeries around Wiltshire since 2007 to help combat the obesity epidemic and is now providing the programme to people in Melksham and the surrounding area in a group setting free of charge.
The programme begins on Monday at 4.30pm in the Melksham area. To attend this introduction session, people will need to enrol first.
The programme runs fortnightly over a three-month period covering topics such as energy balance, weight loss goals, shopping and label reading, physical activity, lapse management techniques, triggers to eat as well as strategies when eating out.
Liz Smith, a diabetes and Counterweight dietitian based at Chippenham Hospital, said: "Counterweight offers a choice of approaches to weight management – either a structured portion-counting plan or a more relaxed and flexible goal-setting approach for those with busy lives.
"People are welcome to enrol on the course, then come along on the 13th and see how they feel. More often than not, once people experience the benefit of groups they stay with them. However, there is no pressure to come back to the following sessions.
"Once the initial programme has finished people are not left to fend for themselves; instead three further quarterly sessions are offered to help ensure the weight is kept off."
To qualify, you must have a body mass index (BMI) of over 30kg/m2 or a BMI of over 28kg/m2 with one of the following conditions – high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance.
To check your BMI use the BMI Weight Calculator available on NHS Choices www.nhs.uk For an enrolment form and further details contact Liz Smith at Chippenham Hospital on 01249 456512.

The draft is here! Are you ready for some buzzwords, jargon, and very little actual analysis? Here's a handy playcard to keep track, try to see it if you can last 2 minutes without a bingo!
In case you can't watch the draft, here is a point by point recap so you don't have to!
[Roger Goodell stands at podium, gets booed]
ROGER GOODELL: "With the ______ Pick in the 2013 NFL draft, the _____ select ______.
Boomer: Well that's an intriguing pick! Tell us your thoughts, Mel?
Kiper: I think this guy is a stud. He has a very high ceiling and some serious explosiveness, Boomer. He's so quick off the ball and has elite footwork. He is a touch raw and undersized, and there have been some character issues that have come up in his past year. Overall though, he's got a really high motor and sound fundamentals. If he can do something about his intangibles he could be the missing piece of the puzzle.
Boomer: I agree. Jon, what do you think?
Gruden: I like him!
Boomer: Is that all?
Gruden: Where am I?
Boomer: Moving on! The next player hasn't been officially selected, but here we go live on camera to his house where he is sitting on the phone talking with a smile on his face! Wait, I thought we weren't spoiling the picks this year…
Kiper: Schefter already posted the next 5 picks on twitter. I did not expect Nassib to go that high. Oh Jets.
Gruden: I like Nassib! He's a great kid. Reminds me of someone I had in training camp once
Kiper: Please Jon, no. Please. Please don't not another one of these
Gruden: We had this kid back in training camp with the Raiders, we called him bananas. I forgot his real name, but we called him Bananas because he'd drive you bananas. Never threw the ball the same way, all over the place. I loved him. I was going to make him the starter but Al Davis told me I was a bonehead so I cut him and got lunch. You ever eat those 5 dollar footlongs at Subway? I think that the turkey melt..
Boomer: HATE TO CUT YOU OFF but the next pick is in!

Exclusive: Tea Party, Fracking Industry Launch Astroturf Campaign Against Mansfield, OH Community Bill of Rights Referendum
Steve Horn | November 4, 2012
By Steve Horn • Sunday, November 4, 2012 - 10:16
Ohio is referred to as a "battleground state" due to its status as a "swing state" in presidential elections. But another important battle is brewing in the Buckeye State, also set to be settled in the voting booth.
This battle centers around a "Community Bill of Rights" referendum in Mansfield, OH and will be voted on in a simple "yes/no" manner. Mansfield is a city with roughly 48,000 citizens located 80 miles southwest of Cleveland and 66 miles northeast of Columbus, right in the heart of the Utica Shale basin.
Eric Belcastro, the Pennsylvania Organizer for the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF), explained the rationale behind the "Bill of Rights" push in a blog post:
Faced with the permitting of two 5,000 foot deep injection wells in Mansfield by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR)…[t]he amendment would drive a community Bill of Rights into Mansfield's charter and then prohibit the injection of fracking wastewater on grounds that such prohibition is necessary to secure and protect those community rights. The amendment also recognizes corporate "rights" as subordinate to the rights of the people of Mansfield, as well as recognizing the rights of residents, natural communities, and ecosystems to clean air and water.
The ODNR, in a study published in March 2012, linked the 12 earthquakes that have occured in Youngstown, Ohio to injection wells located in the city.
Though the "Bill of Rights" has the full support of the City Council and the Law Director, as well as the city's newspaper, the Mansfield News Journal, one faction in particular isn't such a big fan of the Bill of Rights: the oil and gas industry. In response to the upcoming referrendum vote, the industry has launched an 11th hour astroturf campaign to "win hearts and minds" of those voters still on the fence as it pertains to the "Bill of Rights" in the week before the election.
DeSmogBlog has obtained images of flyers distributed via a well-coordinated direct mail campaign conducted by the oil and gas industry in Mansfield, made public here for the first time in an exclusive investigation.
