BOSTON (CBS) – The New England Patriots had a pair of draft picks Thursday night.
With the 17th overall pick, the Pats took offensive tackle Nate Solder.
Solder is from the University of Colorado.
He lists at an enormous six-foot-eight-inches and 319 pounds.
Matt Light is a free agent, so the team could be setting up Soldier as his replacement.
With six-foot-eight Sebastian Vollmer, Tom Brady could end up having the twin towers on his sides.
The Pats traded away their 28th overall pick to New Orleans for a second round pick this year and a first round pick in 2012.

He describes the current local free-diver spearfishing community in this way: "Small and kinda like a tribe." This tribe has its own elders and governance in the form of the San Diego Free Divers; Sweeny is a board member. The club was founded in 1994, and some of the members are still active free divers in their 70s and 80s, even though the sea constantly reminds a diver of one's place in the food chain.
"For example," says Sweeny, "if you spear a fish, you've got about 15 minutes to get it into the boat before the sharks show up." Sharks are drawn by the scent of blood in the water.
Has that ever happened to him?
"Yes," Sweeny says over dinner at the Waterfront Bar & Grill in Little Italy. "I've gone through quite a few of my nine lives." Before the evening is over, he invites me to go out on his boat.
I accept.
"We have a saying," says Michael Timm. "'The scuba diver looks around the sea; the free diver looks inside himself.' If you don't have control over your mind, you won't dive deep, and you won't live very long."
Timm owns Dive California, a scuba shop on Sports Arena Boulevard that dates back to 1953. He teaches both scuba and free diving, and he heads a Meetup group called "Total Immersion Divers," which he thinks has between 40 and 50 members, more of them traditional scuba divers than free divers. At 49, he is tanned and fit, with remnants of a German accent.
"The urge to breathe?" Timm says. "We all get that. You have to overcome it. One thing we teach our students is to deal with the contractions." He explains how one's diaphragm contracts as the breath is running out. If it goes on long enough, contractions are followed by what appear to be the same experiences those who've had near-death encounters describe. "Some people see a black tunnel. Others see lights. But the contractions are super uncomfortable." Overcoming them, Timm says, "is the difference between holding your breath for three minutes or for nine minutes."
Nine minutes?
"It's doable," he says. "Yes. When I began free diving, I was fearful of holding my breath for 20 seconds. You have to practice." Dry practice, that is, while lying on a bed or a couch. "You hold for three minutes, then take a three-minute break. This gets you used to carbon dioxide buildup." Timm says he can now hold his breath for six minutes while lying on the water's surface.
After a stint in the German navy, Timm shipped out to the Canary Islands. There, he fell in with some locals who were free-dive spearfishing. "I got hooked." He came face-to-face with death when a dive buddy went down one day and never came up. "We found him in 60 feet of water. He still had a fish on his spear. He died for this stupid little fish." It was Timm's first encounter with shallow-water blackout.
Timm's own free-diving limit is 125 feet, or about the height of a 12-story building. "Number one is this: if you can't imagine doing it, then you can't do it in real life. I visualize my dives, and I learned about that from a variety of other sources." Tony Robbins, the life coach self-help guru, is invoked. "It's a very powerful tool, to see your goal, and to get the clutter out of your mind, and to reduce your resting heart rate."
Timm says that free diving is one of the fastest growing sports. "It's the next step from snorkeling," with this caveat: "Water is generally a scary element for a lot of people. I tell students to give it time. We lived in it for nine months. Give it time, and you'll find your way back."
"In my mind there's only one real major risk associated with free diving: shallow-water blackout."
Tom Neuman, MD, FACP, PhD, is an authority when it comes to dive physiology. His areas of expertise include undersea and hyperbaric medicine, pulmonary disease, and decompression sickness. He graduated from New York University and is co-author of Physiology and Medicine of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Neuman talks with his hands, sometimes with his entire upper body. He lives near the coast in Del Mar and is semi-retired. He is, as he puts it, "pushing 70."
"Without going into a huge amount of detail," he says, "[shallow-water blackout] is holding your breath until you pass out. Normally, you can't do that. Ventilation is triggered by the amount of carbon dioxide in your blood. Human beings are relatively insensitive to low oxygen in our blood, compared to high carbon dioxide." What limits the ability to hold one's breath, Neuman says, is one's tolerance to carbon dioxide. "The moment you start holding your breath, the amount of carbon dioxide in your blood starts to go up."
In more scientific terms, it's the physiological consequences of carbon dioxide buildup that trigger respiration. "The term for the change in pH [in the blood] due to elevated carbon dioxide is called 'respiratory acidosis.' You don't really have a sensor in your body for carbon dioxide — you have a sensor for the pH of your blood. You feel short of breath. You want to breathe."
Neuman says that the oxygen level in one's blood doesn't go down in any appreciable amount for the first minute to a minute and a half of breath-holding. "But go past that, and your oxygen level goes down to the point that you can lose consciousness.
"But let's go back to what we said about your body's sensitivity to oxygen and carbon dioxide. Your carbon dioxide level is still low because of previous hyperventilation. And you're relatively insensitive to the amount of oxygen in your blood. At that point, you're capable of passing out underwater."
Shallow-water blackout comes on without warning. Paradoxically, a victim has no sensation of being out of breath. "If you look at the number of people that die diving for abalone each year…some deaths are shallow-water blackout, some of them get hung up in the kelp, and some of them are my age and happen to have the big one while they're in the water."

I was very disappointed by the article. I am not sure if the author sensationalized it or if the divers sensationalized the information presented. At first glance, it is clear that Sweeney is new to the sport. This is clear by the equipment shown in the photo and described in the story.
"With his dive knife, Sweeny chopped at the stalks that gripped his legs and torso until, finally, on the doorstep of losing consciousness, he got free and kicked his way to the surface."
Really, Kelp does not grip your legs or grab you like some sea monster. If you are wearing scuba fins with loose straps or a big knife on the outside of your leg, you may catch one strand. This is the most sensationalized paragraph I have read in a long time. You might as well say a polar bear had you and you stabbed it to get away.
"I started to get dizzy, started to see lights. I started to go numb and have contractions."
Sounds like childbirth, not shallow water blackout.
"As a spearfisherman, Sweeny represents a fringe minority of the sport. Most spearfishermen depend on scuba tanks for air"
Sweeny does not represent the spearfishermen who have hunted here quietly for years. Some of his statements are embarrassing.
"For example," says Sweeny, "if you spear a fish, you've got about 15 minutes to get it into the boat before the sharks show up." Sharks are drawn by the scent of blood in the water.
I have shot fish in the local kelp for over 25 years. I have swam with fish on me for hours. I can honestly say that sharks are the last thing on my mind. The only time there is a shark issue is when a novice diver leaves a fish on the bottom because he is unable to dive the 5o-70 feet to get it. The sharks that show up are seven gills, and they do not come after us; they quickly swim away from us. The only shark that will cause problems will be the one you never see. Bad boat drivers are the biggest danger.
Having spent time with Dr. Neuman, I can tell you that he is humble to a fault. His experience dwarfs that of Sweeny and Hoehne. They should learn from his humble approach. Your article correctly points out the danger of shallow water blackout. Dr. Neuman articulates it well in layman terms.
Hoehne returns to the Chaparral a half hour later, empty-handed. "I saw a manta Ray down there," he says, "
There are no Manta Rays here, maybe you saw a Bat Ray?
No reputable spearfisherman would consider shooting an angel shark, at anytime. Most of us learned as kids that Sheep crabs have no meat and are not worth killing. Guess you guys had to kill something for the article.
My father-in-law knew most all of Bottom Scratchers..tons of stories about diving here n Sea of. Cortez. He Actually used one of their first spear guns. I snorkeled off La Jolla as a kid loved the water, hated cold..(skinny kid syndrome).. can't wait to show him this story. *Dude above needs to chill. Author does pretty well n might be first story.
My father, Wally Potts, loved the purity of breath hold blue water hunting. Thank you for mentioning the Bottom Scratchers, and on a personal note, my Dad. His experience with shallow water blackout was arguably the first documented case on record. It happened off La Jolla Shores and his buddy Jack, a genius equipment innovator and a vital contributor to the sport, his partner and best friend, saved his life by pulling him on the paddleboard and pounding on his chest when he floated to the surface. His report most definitely included seeing stars. As the daughter of a pioneer blue water hunter, I can't recall ever hearing tank divers and free divers put in the same "hunter" category, but the love of the ocean was shared by all. Conservation and beach access were always important to the Club, and everyone has a right to enjoy it as they see fit. There is a Reader article done in 1978 that comes straight from Jack and Wally themselves, if anyone cares to look it up. It's cleverly titled "Thanks but no Tanks" Telling tales of the hunt are often sensationalized. Bringing new attention to the sport of breath hold spearfishing is a good thing and I know the Bottom Scratchers would like it. I
I appreciate your perspective, lyndeelogan! I especially like that you point out tales of the hunt are often sensationalized....and lest we all forget, this is a description of several interviews, through the lens of a (possible?) non-diver.

Senator Serrano Fights for Equal Resources for All Senate Districts
(Albany, NY)- Today Senator Serrano (D-Manhattan/Bronx) expressed his disappointment at the defeat of an Amendment, of which he is the sponsor, that would provide equal allocations to each member of the New York State Senate. These allocations include staff, printed materials, postage, and travel costs.
The amendment has been previously presented by the Republican Conference, and was based on the Minority Report to the Temporary Committee on Rules Reform, which was authored by three Republican Senators. Today the Democratic Conference presented three amendments to Senate Rules, further building on their commitment to enacting significant rules reform within the New York State Senate.
"Within the past few years the majority of the members of the Senate, both Democrats and Republicans, have gone on the record in support of reform, and the time has come for the Legislature to adopt fair and honest Rules." said Senator Serrano, who served on the Temporary Committee on Rules and Administration Reform. "While in the Majority for the last two years, the Democratic Conference passed the most significant rules reforms in the history of the Senate- making the chamber more transparent and bipartisan than ever before. We must continue working to make the Senate more responsive to the needs of our constituencies, and that entails providing each district with an equal amount of resources and continuing to develop a more fair and complete rules process."
Serrano continued: "We took steps, while in the Majority, to make the Senate more equal, accountable and open- implementing changes that gave rank and file members from both sides of the aisle the opportunity to have their voices heard and producing a more democratic Chamber. After taking those important first steps, we must continue to work in a bipartisan fashion to implement reforms that will equally benefit all New Yorkers, not just those who live in the districts of Senators who are members of the party in power."
The three amendments presented today would provide equal staff allocations and resources for all Senators; provide more detailed, transparent accounting of the Senate budget, formalize the committee hearing process, and allow greater access and participation for rank and file members; and change the number of standing committees, the rules governing the introduction of legislation through the committee process, and public notification of legislation.

Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama coyly hinted at something that has been virtually taboo during the fierce hunt for the White House in 2008. Thats likely GOP presidential candidate John McCains age. In a speech at the Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Virginia in early February, Obama hailed McCain for his half-century of service to the country.
This borderline ageist damn with faint praise of McCain was of course tame stuff compared to the dumb crack from B karate movie action guy Chuck Norris before the Florida primary last January that McCain was just too old to be president. Norris subsequently apologized but he still got a swift and deserved disappearance as a prominent mouthpiece for McCains GOP presidential rival Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. It probably ramped up in the number of votes McCain got from the loads of AARP seniors that retired in the state. That sweetened McCains victory there and rocketed his once seemingly DOA campaign forward faster.
Norris aside, age is and will be a factor in the possible showdown between McCain and Obama. Some Democrats undoubtedly bank that Obamas boyish looks and fresh faced vigor will stand in stark contrast to the weary, and slow pace gait of McCain. But age wont be an Obama trump card against McCain.
It just doesnt titillate and get the tongues furiously wagging as race does with Obama and gender with Hillary Clinton. It shouldnt. Age is no legitimate measure of McCains mindset, physical health, or even his possible longevity in the office. JFK, Nixon, and Clinton were all in their forties when they took office. Each had serious health problems, and each one faced serious political and personal crises during their terms, but their health didnt lay them low. McCain released hundreds of pages of his health records before his presidential run in 2000 and last year to head off talk that hes medically and emotionally incompetent (that pertains to his torture as a Vietnam POW) to be president. Even if he hadnt, and even if there were health issues with him, his age still holds minefield peril for Obama.
Reagan is the best example of that. Other than sniggers, and wisecracks about his memory lapses and occasional gaffes, there was no evidence Reagan lost a single vote because anyone thought he was too old. The early signs of Alzheimers came much later in his term and by then the Reagan myth and legacy had been well ensured. The eyes of many in their audiences misted over the countless times McCain and the other one time GOP presidential candidates evoked Reagans name during their debates and on the campaign trail.
Reagan for his part did much to defuse the age issue when he turned to his Democratic opponent Walter Mondale in their presidential debate in 1984 and challenged, "I want you to know that I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience." The aim was not to score a quick debate point or to cut Mondale low, it was to make the point that age is not a liability but a desired quality in a head of state; that age equates with experience, level headedness, and maturity.
Then there are the voter demographics and age related issues. The vast array of programs from social security to education and housing subsidies for seniors soaks up more than a quarter of the federal budget. Legions of senior citizen advocacy groups keep a hawk like watch on funding, spending, and possible cuts in those services. The slightest hint of any attack on social security either real or manufactured politically is the political kiss of death for a candidate. Seniors have the political muscle to make sure of that. Those aged 60 and older make up almost a quarter of those who turn out on Election Day.
There is no such thing as an old age voting bloc. Seniors vote based on their needs, personal tastes, interests, and political preferences, just like other voting groups. But seniors have been far more likely to vote for Republicans than Democrats. In 2004, those over aged 60 gave Bush a wider vote margin over John Kerry than any other age group.
McCain deftly snatched a page from Reagans political playbook, dampened the age issue, and will try to turn the age table on Obama. Hell pound on the point that a school boy looking, relative political newcomer on the national scene simply cant be trusted too make the mature, sober, and vital decisions that presidents have to make especially in times of war, terrorist peril and domestic crisis. The irony is that age may just turn out to be McCains trump card instead of the Democrats even if Obama tries to help him out of his chair when they debate.

10 Tips and 32 Strategies for Healthcare CEOs
A report posted on the Institute of Medicine website this month may give some cost-embattled healthcare executives just what they need, even if it's not something they're all ready for just yet. It's a 10-point "CEO Checklist for High-Value HealthCare," a list of tips on how to keep their organizations alive, written by an all-star cast of leading hospital chiefs.
"We can't afford the healthcare that we're delivering today," says Brent James, MD, executive director of the Intermountain Institute for Care Delivery Research in Ogden, UT. "If you're not adapting right now," James says, "you will die."
He is among 11 well-known executives who believe that at its core, the healthcare delivery system must be radically transformed to improve quality and reduce cost. And there are a lot of healthcare CEOs, he says, who really don't understand that yet. Or if they do, they're bewildered about how and where to begin.
In addition to James of Intermountain, efficiency/quality tips are shared by big-name leaders: George Halvorson of Kaiser Permanente; Gary Kaplan, MD, of Virginia Mason; Gary Gottlieb, MD, of Partners HealthCare System; Patricia Gabow, MD, of Denver Health; Michael Fisher of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center; Delos Cosgrove, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic; Robert Petzel, MD, of the Department of Veterans Affairs; John Toussaint, MD, of ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value; Glenn Steele, MD, of Geisinger Health System; and Jonathan Perlin, MD, of HCA, Inc.
Not a silver bullet
"We weren't trying to give them the magic bean formula, you know, just do this and everything will be fine, a silver bullet," James says. "It's just that this transition is happening with increasing rapidity across the industry, so we wanted to help people be more successful in their transitions, and not step into the same holes that we stepped into in the past."
The report says that extensive waste within the healthcare system, estimated at $750 billion or 30% of national healthcare expenditures, "do not improve health."
A chart in the report, however, shows that Geisinger, achieved a 67% decrease in elective mortality of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafts, while Kaiser cut HIV mortality in half and HCA saved 200 people who would have died from central line bloodstream infections, simply by delivering care better and smarter.

ORLANDO, Fla. — As 2010 gets under way, many in the Church are anxious to see how last year's apostolic constitution inviting disaffected Anglicans into the Catholic Church will play out.
While the expectation is that more significant numbers of Anglicans in Britain, Africa and India will accept the offer outlined in Anglicanorum Coetibus, observers say that the decree will impact traditional Anglicans in the United States, as well.
The Traditional Anglican Communion includes approximately 400,000 Anglicans worldwide. The American province, known as the Anglican Church in America, includes approximately 5,200 communicants in four dioceses. Over the next few months, all of the provinces will be holding synods to put forward the question of how they will be responding to the apostolic constitution.
"The expectation is that our general synod will accept the Holy Father's offer," said Christian Campbell, senior warden of the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Orlando, Fla., and a member of the Standing Committee of the Anglican Church in America's Diocese of the Eastern United States. "It is not so much a question of whether or not we desire to avail ourselves of the offer — inasmuch as it is a direct and generous response to our appeal to the Holy See. The question now is how the apostolic constitution is to be implemented. We have practical concerns, and we are presently working with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to resolve any outstanding questions."
Campbell said that the first Traditional Anglican Communion provinces will be entering the Catholic Church within the next six months.
One example of a parish that stands ready to enter en masse is suburban Philadelphia's Church of the Good Shepherd, an "Anglo-Catholic" parish.
"We've been praying for this daily for two years," said Bishop David Moyer of the Traditional Anglican Communion. Moyer was one of 38 bishops in the communion who signed a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and petitioned Pope Benedict XVI in October 2007 for a way for disaffected Anglicans to be united with Rome.
"The majority of our members will be on board with this," said Father Aaron Bayles, assistant pastor at Good Shepherd. The parish has approximately 400 members who could come into the Catholic Church.
Anglicans Who Won't Join
Yet, many Anglicans will not be embracing the offer.
"The Episcopal Church will be only mildly impacted," said Father Douglas Grandon, a former Anglican pastor who was ordained a Catholic priest in May 2008 and serves as associate pastor at Sacred Heart in Moline, Ill. "Most of those clergy and bishops have already left who had any Catholic sense. In the U.S., the primary ones who will consider this would be the Anglo-Catholics."
Some Episcopal pastors and parishes upset with the direction of the national Episcopal Church (it has elected two bishops who are openly homosexual and has given the nod to blessing same-sex unions) have placed themselves under the leadership of more conservative bishops in the U.S., Africa or the Americas. For example, approximately 20 Episcopal parishes in California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas and Canada have left the Episcopal Church to join the Southern Cone of the Americas, an Anglican province in South America.
For those seeking to accept the Vatican's offer, examples do exist of communities that have already done something similar. Since the implementation of the Pastoral Provision in 1980 — which allowed for the Catholic ordination of married Episcopal priests and authorized the establishment of personal Catholic parishes that retained certain Anglican liturgical elements — several Anglican-use communities have been created in the United States.
San Antonio's Our Lady of the Atonement became the first to enter the Church in 1983. At the time, it consisted of 18 people. Today, the Church has more than 500 families. Three Anglican-use communities exist in Texas. In addition, since the Pastoral Provision was made available, more than 100 Anglican priests have gone through the process to become Catholic priests.
The Pastoral Provision, however, differs from the apostolic constitution.
"The story of the Pastoral Provision is that of a hard-fought battle by a few courageous pioneers," said Campbell. "Unfortunately, it wasn't implemented in such a way as to bring a large number of people into the Church. It was perceived as being primarily a mechanism for the reconciliation of individual Episcopal priests. By comparison, the apostolic constitution is not about reconciling individuals, but groups of Anglicans in a corporate fashion."
Sheep Stealing?
While many mainstream media reports have described the Catholic Church's actions as "sheep stealing," those who have been involved in the process describe it as anything but.
"There have been negotiations going on for decades," said Father Grandon. "Since the time of [Cardinal John Henry] Newman, there has been a Catholic party within the Church of England. They've maintained a strong commitment to the liturgy, the sacraments and the historic understanding of the papacy. They've been making overture after overture, either individually or corporately, to try to find some way to re-enter the Catholic Church."
"Rome's generosity is evidence of its openness and its willingness to allow true Christian diversity within the unity of the faith," said Francis Beckwith, professor of philosophy and church-state studies at Baylor University. "These churches don't have to accept Rome's invitation."
Beckwith, a prominent evangelical, surprised both the Catholic and evangelical world when he returned to Catholicism in 2007, resigning at that time as president of the Evangelical Theological Society.
Broader Appeal
Campbell said that they're starting to see another interesting phenomenon: Protestants considering coming into the Church but who want to be part of a group are considering the possibility of forming new, individual "Anglican" groups; they could then come into the Church under the constitution and have their own Anglo-Catholic parish and ability to use the Catholic-Anglo rite.
"We're beginning to see a tremendous groundswell of interest in Anglicanorum Coetibus from individuals of diverse backgrounds," said Campbell. "Over the past month, I've been contacted by several people each day who are asking how they can join an Anglican group to get in on this. This may be an opportunity to reconcile not just a peculiar breed of Anglo-Catholics, but a means of healing the larger wounds of the Protestant Reformation."
It's uncertain just how many American Anglicans will come into the Church.
Father Grandon cautioned that it will not happen immediately.
"We ought not be discouraged that they don't all come immediately," he said. "There will be a first wave, and the others will come in over time."
Tim Drake is based in
St. Joseph, Minnesota.
`I have read of whole Episcopal parishes becoming Catholic. where has this occurred and some details on this please. I'm trying to convince one of my daughters not to leave the Catholic Church just for the sake of the very liberal gay leaning Episcopal church.
thank you for any details soon please!!

Ryan pleased with Rangers' recent production
Ryan pleased with Rangers' recent production
ARLINGTON -- After scoring a Major League-low 81 runs in a July that saw the Rangers win just nine games, they have pushed 59 runs across in eight August games, going 6-2 this month entering Friday. Josh Hamilton has driven in as many runs in August as he did in July (11) while going 6-for-13 in his last three games. Entering Friday, Ian Kinsler was batting .400 this month while Michael Young was riding a nine-game hitting streak. "They're such a big part of our ballclub and the success of our club," team president and CEO Nolan Ryan said. "If you look at all three of them over the last week or so, I think they're swinging the bats better. I think they're more productive and I think that's why we've seen the club playing on the level that it has lately."
The Rangers went into this week's series against the Tigers with a 5 1/2-game lead in the American League West despite the starting pitchers going 3-1 with a 6.56 ERA in eight starts this month. The Rangers have gotten just four quality starts in their last 13 games. "I think this year has been a unique year because we have had a lot of injuries to our starting staff, and in the past we haven't," Ryan said. "If you look at all starting pitching throughout the season, they have spells where they really throw the ball well and maintain their stuff, and then they'll go through periods where they don't throw it well and struggle."

This is a time of giving. I was blown away by an idea that my friend, Jim Kukral, had last Wednesday right before Thanksgiving. This is a guest blog post on what he did.
"Last Wednesday, on the day before Thanksgiving I had a spur of the moment idea. What if I gave away my time to all of you? So I sent out an email to thousands of people saying simply, "call me", and I gave you my direct phone number.
And you did. Wow. Here are the results of that email.
250+ email responses to which I have responded to every single one.
100+ phone calls with 54 voice mails.
Over 15-hours of my time on the phone speaking to you or responding to your emails.
Money made on consulting fees? Zero.
New friends and fans for me? HUNDREDS!
People who got helped or unstuck? HUNDREDS!
So why did I do it? Because when you give, you get. I just recently finished a great book called "The Go Giver". It's about how to think about giving, instead of getting. Because when you give with your heart, and when you are motivated by trying to help people…you succeed.
I know. It sounds so corny. But it's true, and I've been practicing it for years now. In fact, I've dedicated my career to helping people. That's what I do.
So the question for you today is: What are you giving? Think about it. This isn't about donating money to a charity. This is about truly finding ways to give. When was the last time you picked up the phone and called your customers and ask them what YOU could do for them? Try it and see what happens."
On a daily basis, Jim Kukral spends most of his time helping entrepreneurs and small business owners learn how to find success online. His passion for teaching shines through in his training and coaching programs that have been taken by business owners from around the globe. He is the author of a great book, Attention! This Book Will Make You Money

[March 19,2010]
SUNY Downstate Medical Center celebrated Certified Nurses Day March 19 by honoring its board-certified nurses with a morning program. Certified nurses from SUNY Downstate's University Hospital of Brooklyn and the College of Nursing attended the event.
Board certification of nurses plays an increasingly important role in the assurance of high standards of care for patients. SUNY Downstate encourages national board certification for all its nurses.
Please visit the following link to see a full list of names of those honored: http://www.downstate.edu/nurseweb/photos/magnet/magnet.html.
SUNY Downstate Medical Center, founded in 1860, was the first medical school in the United States to bring teaching out of the lecture hall and to the patient's bedside. A center of innovation and excellence in research and clinical service delivery, SUNY Downstate Medical Center comprises a College of Medicine, Colleges of Nursing and Health Related Professions, a School of Graduate Studies, a School of Public Health, University Hospital of Brooklyn, and an Advanced Biotechnology Park and Biotechnology Incubator.
SUNY Downstate ranks ninth nationally in the number of alumni who are on the faculty of American medical schools. More physicians practicing in New York City have graduated from SUNY Downstate than from any other medical school.

"Essential for Contemporary Authors!"
Great content about how authors can take their careers (and, by extension, their lives) into their own hands. Tim's advice is both practical and revolutionary. Very empowering!
"A good audiobook narrated by the author"
Unlike some people, I enjoy nonfiction audiobooks narrated by the author. It gives the book a flair that professional narrators can't. After all, the author knows best how to express the ideas.
That's the case here, as the author does a great job of expressing himself. I've listened to him in seminars and podcasts, and his voice is consistent.
Content-wise, this is the best book on marketing out there. If you're looking for something to listen to on the way to work, you can't do any better, especially if you're trying to focus on growing your mailing list.
Also, the bonus interview at the end with Tim was totally unexpected and greatly appreciated. I almost missed it, though.
Performance-wise, this could have been better, but that's to be expected from an author-narrated book. There were a few run-on sentences and choppy reads that could have been better. They weren't too distracting, but they were noticeable.
This was a great audiobook, and I'd definitely listen to it again.
"Step by step"
A great book with ridiculously helpful content. If only I could implement every step he walks you through, I'd be huge success. One step at a time!
"Clear, simple and no nonsense"
A great resource for both new and more established authors. Genuine and non spammy advice.
Value for money.
A good starting point.
"GREAT Information - a MUST READ for all authors!"
Any author looking to promote their books so they can finally make a living at writing MUST READ this book. The guidance is invaluable and focuses the author on what's most important - writing and reaching readers. Since most of our time as authors needs to be focused on writing, this book narrows not only the scope of effort spent on marketing, but precisely what to do with each tool in the author's marketing toolbox - building a mailing list, how to build a mailing list, social media, website management and how to use all of those in harmony. Maximizing your time as an author is what this book excels at!
I will say, however, that the audiobook version - performed by the author - was a little difficult to get through. There are very distracting sounds on the track: page turning noises, the microphone was scraped/moved across the desk or jostled at one point, the author is heard swallowing or breathing or lip smacking several times throughout the performance. When you have earbuds in, this is really annoying. There were at least 2-3 times or more where a phrase was repeated, I guess in a re-read, but that was never edited out. I was surprised to learn at the end of the book that this was professionally edited by a sound company.
I muddled through the performance, though, because the information was SO VALUABLE! I still recommend getting the book and if you're as busy as I am, the audiobook version is valuable in that I listened to it while I was working.
Highly recommend!
"Great Investment. Perfect resource."
Be relentlessly helpful.
The realization that pop-ups( if done correctly and with the right mindset of adding value to your subscribers) are not viewed as annoying but as something desirable your fan or subscriber will actually want.
Tim Grahl did a perfect Tim Grahl impression for the entire book. Tim sounds down to earth and offers sound advice with no wasted time or space. Very useful.
One thing I loved about this book was how many things you could put into practice immediately. I paused the book several times to complete actions he suggested. Before I was done listening to it I had a non-intrusive, value adding pop-up on my website and already had some subscribers to my email list, and had already sent out some free content.
Would recommend to all authors interested in growing reach and fan base in a natural, non-saleman-ish way.
"Lean and Meaty"
This book is lean because the author does not endlessly repeat platitudes and give vague words of advice. Many audio books on promoting the sale of new books sound like they are selling themselves instead of giving concrete actionable advice. They are fluffed out to book length when the net information contained in them could be stated in a single paragraph.
This book is meaty because it is full of concise factual advice laid out in a logical manner. The author outlines the tools and plans that the reader can put into action immediately. He also tells the reader what actions would not be worth their time.
This question applies more to works of fiction.
Tim Grahl narrated his own book which works well because he understands his own material better than a hired narrator.
This question may apply more to fiction.
I have ordered the paperback version of this book to use as a reference copy.

Its okay to manage your marketing and launch through social media but you want to hook people and get them on to an email list.

"Really good email info"
it was a good, concise set of instructions for setting up and keeping email list based platforms.
"Good advice"
This book is fairly short and to the point. The author does a good job narrating, and has some solid advice for growing an email campaign. He even gives some follow up links for information that points directly to his site, where he keeps the information updated.
"Well worth a read"
Great title, perhaps misleading – or perhaps not, as I've not yet put the ideas of this book into action :)
Though I partly sympathised with another review that says – 'it's one basic idea – create a subscriber list,' I feel the book turned out to offer a lot more. For example Grahl makes really good points about social media which, after a year of experiment and expenditure, I whole-heartedly agree with. Also, we can all create a website with a subscriber widget – but how to make it effective and work for us? May as well spend a couple of quid and spend a couple of hours listening to an audio that explains how to make it for us. Well worth the investment.
I listened to the whole thing in a short time, and have taken a lot away from it, so I would definitely recommend this to people wondering if this book would be advantageous to them and if they should give it a go.
