Master's Entry Program In Nursing (Pre-License/M.S.) (Master of Science)
The master's entry program in nursing is an accelerated educational program that prepares well-qualified graduates of baccalaureate or higher degree programs in other disciplines to become advanced practice nurses such as nurse practitioners, advanced practice psychiatric-mental health nurse clinicians, managers of clinical systems in an intensive program designed for highly motivated students. The program consists of a 12-15 month intensive pre-licensure educational program leading to registered nurse licensure that must be completed successfully on a full-time schedule, followed by a 2-2.5 year period in which students will earn a master's degree in nursing and be prepared for certification and practice in one of the graduate specialties offered by the Department of Nursing.
Completion of the pre-licensure requirements does not lead to a second baccalaureate degree, but to a certificate of completion that will entitle those who successfully complete this portion of the program to take the national licensing examination and to be provisionally licensed in the State of Vermont. The provisional license is effective until completion of the master's program. Students eligible for advanced practice licensure upon graduation from the master's program will apply for a change in license status at that time. Students graduating from clinical specialties in which advanced practice licenses are not required in this state will be able to renew their RN licenses according to the cycle set by the Vermont Board of Nursing.

Be Smart With Your Money And Change Your Life
Want to spend money without worrying about your savings? How about earning without spending instead of spending without saving?
Watching your money grow is basically more important than watching it squander off the palm of your hands. Nowadays, various channels provide useful tips on how to save money but people are wary on how to implement it. The first stage of saving up is usually the hardest part of the implementation process. Adjustments are necessary but make it a challenge and a commitment as you start. Planning ahead of time, starting up from a small amount, and setting up a specific goal could help you attain your main purpose. Whether you are saving up for the future or to pay off a debt, this is the best deal to shove off your financial issues.
Try considering these smart ways of saving money, they might may be helpful!
Smart Spending: Save more than you spend
Credit card usages must be limited or restrained. It is important to know that the more money you earn will be more beneficial to you. Create a bank account where you can save up and earn bonus perks, interests and credit scores. Instead of paying monthly fees for your cards, you can enjoy the bonus points some bank companies offer. Avoid spending more than what you earn and avoid accumulating more debts.
- Learn about the automatic deposit and set up a direct deposit plan or you can make a budget for your manual monthly deposit if you can't access an automatic deposit plan.
- Check for bonus perks from your cards and learn the best deals on cutting your costs.
- Try avoiding insurance or loans but if this is unlikely, try to cover up the down payment more than as it's required.
Smart Planning: Create a monthly budget
Make a monthly record of your expenses and budget it out from how much you compensate. Keeping a good track of what you buy and pay your money with is an effective tool to manage your monthly expenditures. That way, you can monitor the flow of your budget and allocations. The records may also allow you to restrict over-spending and may limit your monthly costs.
- Create a data and organize by categories according to your monthly expenses such as groceries, bills, mortgage, etc.
- Also record other expenses that are beyond your control including car maintenance, home repairs, and so on.
Smart Reasoning: Take advantage of free money
Free money may mean anything but more importantly, gift cash or offers and coupons. In replacement of spending your own money, gift cards can be more useful. Keep any discounts or incentive programs from your employer and make it to good use. You can use these incentives accordingly.
- Gift cards are good as cash which you can use to buy as actual money for appliances and groceries.
- Bonuses and incentives are offered depending on your employer and/or company. Check out what it has to offer and talk to your human resources representatives.
Smart Thinking: Make money by being smart
Purchasing unnecessary items may make you regret it later. Oftentimes, you may end up selling those items when you are broke or in dire need of money. In order to avoid this dilemma, you can stop collecting unwanted products and start selling your stuff.
- Determine what you are good at and hone your skills. You can sell your products on various online selling sites.
- Instead of buying expensive items for gifts or decorations, you can actually do it yourself.
Smart Saving: Set saving goals
Start setting up your saving goals whether it's for a long-time or a short-time goal. This will make you start thinking about your priorities as you begin deciding on how to maintain the goals set. Short-term goals are savings that may take you shorter years to save while long-term goals may take long years.
- Short term goals include saving for emergency funds, vacation, new car, and taxes.
- Long term goals include saving for retirement, college education, and house down payment or remodeling.
With the uprising issues on various things, people are caught up making more money and spending it on paying bills. Thus the saying 'money revolves around everything.' The advent of advanced technologies makes it even more difficult for them to think about saving up a penny for the future. But no matter what your financial status is, saving money could possibly turn the tables around.
Smart Legal: Get a good lawyer
This is one of those things that I actually had to learn the hard way. I was driving home one night, listening to some tunes and thinking about what I was going to do when I got home and then all of a sudden, WHAM! Some jerk thought it would be a good idea to check her Instagram while she was driving her vehicle at 50mph and blew through a red light, never even slowed down and t-boned me right in the middle of an intersection.
Long story short, I spent 11 days in the hospital, 4 of them in the ICU and I had to have an emergency surgery that night to stop some internal bleeding. I had to have 2 more follow-up surgeries to put a rod in my shattered arm and fix some complications from a broken pelvis. I ended up with over $125,000 in medical bills, plus rehabilitative therapy, plus meds, plus then I was out of work for the over 4 months that it took me to recover.
I have always talked about how important it is to have an emergency fund. Nowadays I teach that you should have at least 6 month's living expenses saved up (12 months is better) "for a rainy day". I decided on that number due to this accident. Prior to this accident, the "rainiest day" I could imagine was needing 3 month's living expenses saved in case I had an extended period of unemployment. I blew through that in record time because of all the added medical bills, doctor visits, therapy visits, chiropractor visits and all those awesome co-pays that I'd never anticipated.
Bottom line; I went completely broke through no fault of my own because of an accident that was caused by another person's stupidity. I couldn't buy food, couldn't pay my bills and I was less than 48 hours from getting evicted out of my apartment and being homeless. The only reason the finance company didn't repossess my car is because they couldn't find it. A friend of mine had hidden it for me in an underground bunker that his parents have on their farm (Love you Ian!). In short, those were some dark days.
Takeaway #1: Get a good attorney
Of course I had an attorney that I had contacted while I was in the hospital. He found out that the kid who crashed into me was actually driving a car that was owned by her parents and not only was she insured on an auto policy, it turns out they had a large umbrella policy also. That was the silver lining around all the clouds. It took some digging to find out all the details and financial coverage limits, and I just can't help but think that a lesser attorney might not have thought to check beyond the auto policy. Thank goodness mine did.
Takeaway #2: Ask for help when you need it
While I was financially destitute, I learned that there are lots and lots of people who share similar circumstances to mine. That's when my attorney told me about a company he'd worked with in the past that gives loans on lawsuits.
And no, this isn't a paid endorsement; it's an enthusiastic referral from a raving fan and extremely satisfied client. (Plus I promised them if they helped me, I would talk about them on my blog. Well here you go guys; I am a woman of my word!). These guys were awesome.
It turns out that there is an entire industry called "legal funding" and all they do is give people loans on lawsuits. They exist to help people just like me who have been injured in all different kinds of accidents and have an attorney and a lawsuit but need money immediately. It's the coolest thing. They're not like a bank because they don't care about your credit score, or real estate collateral or whether you have a job or not. You don't even need to be able to make monthly payments.
All they care about is how strong your case is, if there is sufficient insurance coverage on the person who caused the accident, the likely award amount that you'll get when your lawsuit settles and stuff like that. And here's the kicker; they wait to get paid back until after your lawsuit settles and if it doesn't settle, or you lose, you get to keep the money they advanced you and you owe nothing. And no hard feelings!
These guys were the proverbial white knights galloping in and saving my day. They got me all the money I needed to get my bills caught up, my rent and car paid, groceries, co-pays, etc., and they did it all in less than 48 hours after I contacted them.
This whole episode taught me some important lessons; be insured, have a good attorney that you can call when you're hurt or in trouble, and remember this legal funding industry. I mean, who knew that it was possible to leverage something as intangible and speculative as a future lawsuit settlement when you really need money?

PRESS RELEASE: 6 August 2013
The first major retrospective in Ireland of the work of Surrealist painter Leonora Carrington opens to the public on Wednesday 18 September 2013 in the Garden Galleries (formerly the New Galleries) at the Irish Museum of Modern Art. The Celtic Surrealist is a timely rediscovery of one of the last Surrealist painters and her role in the Surrealist art movement. Carrington is known for her figurative dreamscapes filled with extraordinary and complex narratives informed by her rich interest in mythology, alchemy, fairy tales and the occult. This exhibition of some 30 paintings, six sculptures, four tapestries and 30 works on paper from the 1940s onwards, holds a particular focus on the imagery that enchanted her as a child and on the cultural influences of Mexico.
The Celtic Surrealist focuses in particular on the imagery that enchanted Carrington as a child and on the influence of Mexico on her later work. This exhibition explores her work thematically rather than chronologically, themes such as metamorphosis and transformation which are constant in her work. Carringtons is a hybrid world full of strange and slightly disconcerting figures - creatures half-human-half-horse, elongated women, people changing into birds; transformations seen in works such as The Giantess (The Guardian of the Egg), c. 1947 or Edwardian Hunt Breakfast , 1956. Certain works refer directly to the history or folklore of Ireland while others highlight the influence of Mexican culture in her fantastic imagery. Writing has always been a creative activity of equal importance as painting to Carrington, an area which has not been explored to any great extent in an exhibition before, so here the paintings are supplemented with unpublished manuscripts and illustrations all offering a rich visual experience for the reader.
Commenting on the exhibition Seán Kissane, Curator: Exhibitions, IMMA, said; Despite her prominence in Mexico and the USA, the work of Leonora Carrington is little-known in Ireland. Aside from a small sculpture recently donated to IMMA by the Mexican Government, no work is held in public collections in this country. She is not on any of the school or university curricula, and yet every study made of her work asserts the importance which her Irish background held for her and the construction of her myriad images both in word and painting. We hope that this exhibition will offer the timely chance to make her astonishing work available to a wider audience, in Ireland and far beyond.
Between 1937 and 1947, Carrington was most closely aligned to the Surrealist movement. The importance of her writing was recognised by the leader of the movement André Breton, who included her comic short-story The Debutante in his Anthology of Black Humour, 1940. Incidentally she was the only woman-writer included in that book which was both a mark of respect and an indication of the wider situation for creative women who were marginalised by their male peers. She was the archetype for a Surrealist artist: a writer, a painter, a sculptor, a weaver, a mother. During her incarceration in Spain, she experienced madness first-hand, an experience which her Surrealist brothers sought to recreate using mind-altering drugs. She was Irish and equipped with the knowledge of that races fairy tales and myths which were central to the Surrealist ideal, as evidenced by André Bretons Surrealist Map of the World , 1937.
Leonora Carrington (Lancashire 1917 Ciudad de México 2011) was the daughter of a British father and an Irish mother from Moate, Co Westmeath. In 1936, when she was 19, she moved to London and Paris, where she became a central figure in the Surrealist movement later exhibiting with André Breton, Max Ernst and others. In 1940, following the internment of her lover Max Ernst, she suffered a mental breakdown after which she escaped from Lisbon to Mexico where she lived until her death in 2011 at the age of 94.
The Celtic Surrealist forms part of IMMAs programme of painting exhibitions, which has included major exhibitions by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera and Georgia OKeeffe.
The Celtic Surrealist is curated by Seán Kissane, Curator: Exhibitions, IMMA.
A fully-illustrated catalogue, published by IMMA and DAP, New York, accompanies the exhibition. It includes contributions from specialists Dawn Ades, Teresa Arcq, Giulia Ingarao, Seán Kissane, Alyce Mahon, the son of Carrington Gabriel Weisz, and an interview between the artist and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
Prelude Talk | Teresa Arcq
Surrealist Women Artists in Exile
Sunday 15 September, 2.00pm 3.00pm, Lecture Room, IMMA
As a prelude to the Leonora Carrington retrospective, Teresa Arcq (Adjunct Curator, Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City) introduces Leonora Carringtons magical world of paintings and stories, and situates this in the broader cultural context surrounding the exile of other Surrealist women artists to Mexico and the USA.
Preview Seminar | Rediscovering Leonora Carrington
Tuesday 17 September, 1.00pm - 6.00pm, the Chapel, IMMA
Garden Galleries Open from 10.00am 8.00pm
The enigmatic work of Leonora Carrington is informed by her rich interest in Celtic mythology, childrens literature, feminism, and the ethnographic study of religion, myth, and magic. Yet, until recent times, little is known of this last Surrealist artist and her significant contribution to the Surrealist cultural movement. This seminar features presentations by leading scholars on Carringtons work, who will discuss the artists personal and creative connections to prominent Surrealist circles in Europe and Mexico, explored through a range of critical contexts that are informing international reappraisal of Carringtons work.
Invited speakers include Seán Kissane (Curator, Exhibitions, IMMA), Giulia Ingarao (Art Curator and Historian, Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo) Teresa Arcq (Adjunct Curator, Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City), Dawn Ades (Professor of Art History and Theory, University of Essex, UK), Alyce Mahon (Senior Lecturer in History 20th Century Art, University of Cambridge), Susan Aberth (Associate Professor of Art History, Bard College, NY) and Chairperson Roisin Kennedy (Lecturer, School of Art History & Cultural Policy, UCD). The official exhibition launch and wine reception follow this event.
Culture Night Talk | Seán Kissane
Friday 20 September, 7.00pm, Garden Galleries, IMMA
Curator of the exhibition Seán Kissane (Curator, Exhibitions, IMMA) presents a gallery talk on some of his most fond works selected for this exhibition.
In Discussion | Women, Art and Society
Thursday 17 October, 5.30pm - 7.00pm, Lecture Room, IMMA
In conjunction with Leonora Carrington The Celtic Surrealist and Eileen Gray Architect Designer Painter this discussion invites artists, curators and academics to re-examine feminist art history in addressing closely related issues of ethnicity, class, labour, and sexuality in recent developments of contemporary art practice. Speakers explore the turn towards autobiography in womens art and consider issues of the personal versus the political in reviewing similarities and differences for women artists working today and the seminal work of feminist artists of the past.
Gallery Talk | Artist Responses
Wednesday 13 November, 1.00pm - 2.00pm, Garden Galleries, IMMA
Contemporary artists discuss Surrealist ideas and their eclectic interests in metamorphosis, humour, gastronomy, animal imagary and fairytale as a means to re-evaluate Carringtons unorthodox relationship to traditional aesthetics.
Lecture | Luke Gibbons Magical (Sur)realism: Ireland, Mexico
Wednesday 20 November, 5.30pm - 6.30pm, Lecture Room, IMMA
Luke Gibbons (Professor of Irish Literary and Cultural Studies, National University of Ireland, Maynooth) will discuss the affinities between vernacular modernism and folklore in Surrealism.

Aspiring filmmakers have until 19th January to submit their proposals for a short video following the Rapha Condor Sharp Pro Continental team at their training camp in 2012.
300 words and five still photographs to illustrate the ideas are being sought for that date, detailing how you would shoot the team both on and off the bikes with the best five to be shortlisted to visit London in January for a final selection. The winner will be flown out and looked after at the training camp while shooting the film which will subsequently be used to promote the team internationally.
Mind you, before you start you'd better watch the eight minute film at the bottom here where the bar has already been set pretty high by Andy Waterman who shot and edited last year's equivalent film for Condor Cycles based on the Lincoln Grand Prix.
Here's how Rapha Condor Sharp have put it:
The Brief
Rapha and Condor are offering a young filmmaker the chance to shoot and direct the 2012 Rapha Condor Sharp team short at their training camp in February 2012. The winner will be flown to the training camp to spend a week with the team and will see their film form an integral part of the team's marketing for 2012. The final film will be displayed to large audiences across a variety of platforms, including the Rapha, Condor and team websites and throughout online media.
The Rapha Condor Sharp Team, with its distinctive style and attitude, dominated the British cycling scene in 2011 and were the UK's number 1 ranked British Continental Team. For 2012, the team has changed direction to focus on the development of U23 riders. This brings a new set of challenges, so we are looking for a young filmmaker who, with a sensitivity towards the sport, can tell the story of the young riders at the beginning of their cycling careers.
Rapha has a strong portfolio of films and we are looking for a filmmaker who can match the standards set previously, whilst bringing a fresh insight to what it means to be an under-23 rider in a Pro Continental Team. Creative and new approaches to the documentary format would be welcomed, and the winning filmmaker will work closely with Rapha and Condor to create a new and exciting film. The film we want to see made will be an honest look at the young riders, innovative in style, humorous and reflective of the experiences that they encounter as under-23 riders.
To Apply
To apply applicants should submit a 300 word idea of how you would follow the team on their training camp, including ideas for shots both on and off the bikes. To accompany this, five photographs that you feel illustrate these ideas, in both an aesthetic and narrative way.
This treatment will be used to shortlist five filmmakers who will be invited to a workshop in London in January where one person will be chosen to accompany the Rapha Condor Sharp Team on their training camp to film the short.
The winner's work will gain huge exposure in a high-profile medium that is promoted nationally. Rapha Condor Limited will retain the copyright in the global content of the final commissioned films but copyright of entries and any content produced by the shortlisted entrants at the workshop will remain with the filmmakers who will agree to allow Rapha and Condor to exhibit their work online and offline.
The judges' decision is final.
Entries will be judged by Ben Ingham, Basia Lewandowska, Claire Beaumont and Ultan Coyle.

Listen: Chris Brown 'Turn Up the Music' Remix Featuring Rihanna
Chris Brown wished former (and possibly current) flame Rihanna a happy birthday in a very public way: on Twitter. Not only did Breezy wish Robyn (Rihanna's real first name) well, he also released his 'Turn Up the Music' remix on her special day — and she's featured on it. On the remix, RiRi sings the second verse and joins Brown on the hook. While it can be argued that their personal lives may not entangle well together, they certainly make good music together. The duo announced the remix on Twitter, with Rihanna posting the link with the message, "@chrisbrown Turn up the music remix #RihannaNavy #TeamBreezy enjoy!!!"
Brown's remix comes hot on the heels of a publicized possible reunion for the notorious volatile former couple. Brown and Rihanna reportedly spent four hours together in her dressing room during Grammy rehearsals and have been sending loved up tweets to one another for ages now. Rumors have been rampant since January that they've been hooking up on the sly — something Brown's girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, denies.
'Turn Up the Music' isn't the only music the pair will be making together. Breezy is the feature on RiRi's upcoming 'Birthday Cake' remix, a decision that came under massive backlash from both fans and critics alike.

Library tests
From HaskellWiki
1 Goals
- Help library developers ensure that their changes work.
- Enable something like BuildBot to ensure that libraries keep working across all the Implementations.
- Enable test-driven development if a developer wants to use it.
- Provide a series of testcases for implementation developers.
2 Status
According to Ian Lynagh, SimonM has been moving tests a directory at a time from the testsuite package that comes with ghc to libraries/foo/tests. It looks like he's gotten to unix and network. The tests "assume the package is part of a GHC build tree with the testsuite installed in ../../../testsuite."
Neil Mitchell has a program at http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/darcs/filepath/GenTests.hs to automatically extract tests from Haddock comments like the ones in http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/darcs/filepath/System/FilePath/Version_0_11.hs.
3 Design
I think the tests should be run with
runhaskell Setup.hs test. Cabal's going to need some work to make this work portably. JeffreyYasskin 06:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
3.1 Abbreviated QuickCheck in Haddock comments
Need to recognise parameters. GenTests.hs currently recognises a small range of special variables. What about declaring the parameter names and associated types in a header comment? For instance
-- > :type xs, ys :: [Int]
this would declare that xs and ys are free variables in any following tests and of the type specified. They can then be recognised at the lexical level.
Alternatively, what about special "forall" syntax such as:
forall (xs, ys :: [Int]) . reverse xs ++ reverse ys == reverse (ys ++ xs)
- The problem is that xs and ys are actually of type , and we don't want to mislead people who are reading the documentation. We could automatically substituteforall a. [a]for type variables in forall expressions (which are easy to recognize because they're lower case and between the "::" and the "."). So:Intmeans QuickCheck will see
-- > forall (xs, ys) :: (MyTyCon a b, MyTyCon a b) . myprop xs ys
prop_N = \xs ys -> myprop xs ys where types = (xs, ys) :: (MyTyCon Int Int, MyTyCon Int Int)
- It's likely we'd also eventually need similar defaulting for particular typeclasses, which might force us to integrate more of Haskell than we'd like... JeffreyYasskin 07:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oops, I didn't make myself clear. I was thinking of the QuickCheck "forAll" function rather than the "forall" type keyword. What I wanted to say was that we need a way to represent the QuickCheck idiom of . PaulJohnson 19:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
prop_myTest = forAll myGenerator $ \(x, y) -> myProperty x y
GenTests currently has flag syntax for Posix and Windows tests (necessary for FilePath). Should this be in a general solution? If so, are other flags required?
- I think we need something with the same functionality. Posix- and Windows-specific tests are relatively easy. You just write the property directly in terms of qualified names. The needed imports could be specified in a recognized comment toward the top of the file. Doing generic tests that should hold over several modules (or several typeclass instances?) is harder. If overloading
-- > import Foo as Fworks, maybe:forallJeffreyYasskin 07:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
-- > forall [x <- ["P", "W"]] . x.isPathSeparator x.pathSeparator
3.2 #ifdefed tests in code
http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/base/Data/Map.hs could easily be moved to this form if we replace the
This poses some problems for arranging the compiled output. The #define flags generally don't show up in the name of the output file, but we want to make sure that even if you've run the tests,
runhaskell Setup.hs install installs the non-testing libraries.
dist/test/ tree with -DTESTING on. If we have A.hs and B.hs where each exports some implementation functions behind
3.3 Separate test programs
Should be in the style of http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/network/tests/, but with a driver that doesn't depend on living inside a ghc source tree.
I personally dislike the "golden file" approach that these test use, but the existing driver also supports a
run_command_ignore_output test-fn, which we could combine with the
exit_code(0) opt-fn to use any testing framework we want. JeffreyYasskin 06:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Fergus Falls Woman Sues Over Object In OJ
FERGUS FALLS (AP) - A Fergus Falls woman has filed a federal lawsuit that claims she was injured by a foreign object while drinking a glass of orange juice.

So I go out on a whistling / howling deep fat fryer I figure out that the right most burner is making a loud howling noise when the flame is on. Also of note was the fact that the other 4 burners looked clean and galvanized in color while my werewolf has a lightly oiled look over the entire burner.
I removed the burner looked at the holes the gas and flame comes through and didn't note anything odd. Tapped it around a bit and reinstalled it. Which worked and quieting it down for about an hour or so.
Anyone run into this before? I'm guessing that the fact that it doesn't look like the others (lightly oiled vs clean dry galvanized) may be causing some carbon build up and altering the shape of the holes making them into whistles. Other than replacing the burner or trying to clean it more fully I'm not sure if there is something I'm missing...
Any help would be appreciated

After the Drought: Will Climate Reporting Take Off?
Environmentalists have been dismayed for years to see mainstream media in the United States, especially television news, failing to convey the reality of climate change and the urgency of an official response. But there may have been a breakthrough in broadcast television news halfway through this summer's record-breaking extreme weather events.
A study by watchdog group Media Matters shows that in 2011, major broadcast networks spent more than twice as much time talking about Donald Trump as they did about climate change. The study states that in 2011, when they did discuss climate change, the major Sunday news shows (ABC's This Week, CBS's Face the Nation, NBC's Meet the Press, and Fox News Sunday) consulted political and media figures—but not scientists. Of those interviewed, 50 percent were political figures—including elected officials, strategists and advisers—and 45 percent were from the media.
This lack of fact-based coverage has not been due to public disinterest. A recent poll by the Opinion Research Corporation reveals that nearly 80 percent of Americans want to see more environmental news in mainstream media. The poll—commissioned by the Project for Improved Environmental Coverage—indicates that, regardless of age, race, income, or region, Americans believe the media should improve coverage of the environment.
The trend of underreporting environmental news—specifically, climate change—looked set to continue over the summer of 2012, even during extreme weather events like the destructive wildfires in Colorado. A possible connection between climate change and wildfires, which affected areas in 14 states, went virtually without mention, according to Media Matters. Their analysis of news coverage from April 1 to June 30, 2012 revealed that only 3 percent of news reports on wildfires in the West mentioned climate change.
Then, on July 10, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released its first report linking the likelihood of extreme weather events to human-made climate change (see this article). That evening ABC, CBS, and NBC nightly newscasts all reported on NOAA's new position, and featured stories linking climate change to recent extreme weather events.
In a report that showed footage of hurricanes, tornadoes, and melting ice fields, ABC News reported on "the hottest 12 months we've ever lived through" and called the NOAA report "a major alert … about the speed of climate change."
Even if the change in reporting sticks, many viewers may feel it is woefully late. The change of tone for the three major broadcast networks was summed up in a remark by ABC's weather editor to news anchor Diane Sawyer: "If you want my opinion, Diane, now's the time we start limiting man-made greenhouse gases."
We can still avoid a devastating climate crisis, but we'll need a World War II-level mobilization — and we'll need to stand up to Dirty Energy.
Bill McKibben: In the mighty struggles beginning between climate activists and the fossil fuel industry, geography is on our side.

Modern insolvency rules to give businesses a second chance
Press Conference: Modern insolvency rules to give businesses a second chance / Strasbourg
12 December 2012
I am here today to tell you about a proposal which the Commission has just adopted which will bring relief to businesses around Europe.
We all know that businesses are essential for growth and jobs, but setting one up – and keeping it going – is tough, especially in today's economic climate. Around half of businesses do not survive beyond their first five years, meaning that there are around 200,000 firms going bankrupt across the European Union each year. And perhaps most importantly, 1.7 million jobs are lost to insolvencies every year.
We have had European rules to manage cross-border business insolvencies since 2000. These rules are there for a reason and affect a quarter of European companies. But with a decade of experience, we have reviewed how the rules work in practice, and found that they are currently too oriented towards liquidation, rather than restructuring companies so they can stay in business.
For companies that have short-term difficulties paying their debts, we want to give them and their employees a second chance. And we are not talking about only large, multinational firms here. There are more than one million SMEs in Europe which have subsidiaries or joint ventures abroad.
That is why we are today proposing to modernise this regulation so that the rules support the restructuring of business in difficulties and create a business-friendly environment. This is particularly important in times of crisis: we need to lend a helping hand to our businesses when the going is rough.
Shifting the focus to restructuring can also serve creditors because restructuring a business that owes them money can mean that they are more likely to get their money back – money that might otherwise be lost in a winding-up.
This would also bring the rules up to date with developments in some national insolvency laws. Some EU countries have now tried and tested pre-insolvency and hybrid proceedings with great success. We are drawing the lessons from their experience and want to help solvent companies to restructure themselves right from the pre-insolvency stage.
We want to increase legal certainty for companies, by providing clear rules to determine jurisdiction, and ensuring that when a debtor is faced with insolvency proceedings in several Member States, the courts handling the different proceedings work closely with one another. This will help put an end to 'forum shopping' by companies.
We will also help make sure that creditors are properly informed about proceedings. Let me give you an example of why this matters: an Italian creditor had not been informed in time by French authorities that there was an insolvency proceeding on-going and missed the deadline to lodge a complaint – effectively robbing the creditor of his rights.
We will make sure this does not happen again by obliging Member States to publish key decisions – about the opening of insolvency proceedings, for example. Most Member States have online registers but this should be the case in ALL 27 Member States so that this court information can be easily accessed throughout the EU. These registers should be interconnected.
All in all, these changes will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of cross-border insolvency proceedings, affecting around 50,000 European businesses a year.
This is a first step towards an EU "rescue and recovery" culture to help companies and individuals in financial difficulties.
In the future, there could be separate rules for honest entrepreneurs and for cases where the bankruptcy was fraudulent or irresponsible.
When an honest entrepreneur goes bankrupt, a shortened discharge period in relation to debts and the legal restrictions stemming from bankruptcy would make sure entrepreneurship does not end up as a "life-sentence" should a business go bust.
We should not be stifling innovation: one failure should not stop any future entrepreneurial activity but should be seen as an opportunity for learning and improving. Research shows that 'second starters' are more successful and survive longer than average start-ups; they grow faster and employ more workers.
Failed entrepreneurs also learn from their mistakes and are generally more successful the second time around. Up to 18% of all entrepreneurs who go on to be successful failed in their first venture.
And we should not forget our SMEs – who represent 99% of all businesses in the EU! Restructuring can be extremely costly for them. In the future we could have alternative procedures – such as out of court mechanisms – specially for SMEs. One size does not necessarily fit all – procedures should be proportionate to the size of the business.
These are steps forward I, and my colleague Vice-President Tajani, who sadly could not make it today, will explore in detail over the coming months. We will launch a public consultation to gather views on the way forward. In the meantime I hope the European Parliament and the Council will not delay in adopting the review of the Regulation so that we can lend a helping hand to our businesses when they need it the most.

ZURICH (AP) — FIFA's ruling board is meeting for talks on whether to switch the 2022 World Cup in Qatar from the hot summer months.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter is expected to announce that a task force will consult soccer leaders and broadcasters worldwide and report back to his executive committee within months.
Such an agreement would fall short of Blatter's stated plan to immediately rule out playing the World Cup in the usual June-July period. He suggests starting the tournament in November.
Still, the momentum to move FIFA's showcase event appears unstoppable because of the searing summer heat in the tiny desert nation.
Blatter's board is also weighing a response to Qatar's treatment of migrant workers after reported deaths and human rights abuses connected with World Cup construction projects.

Comments about Bailey Spencer Litestraw Hat:
Stylish, comfortable and an overall great value. This hat stays on the head quite well without having a restrictive brim feel. The straw has an excellent weave that has just enough give for a great fit while allowing decent air-flow. An excellent evening hat for style and a very good hat for casual summer days. A great compliment to shirt-and-tie, but not to dressy for casual shirt.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

For acting to be this bad in movie not directed by Michael Bay or George Lucas, it has to be intentional.
Read Full Review
Most of the movie's action-horror set pieces play like lame Gwar music video outtakes, and Cage's signature mix of irony and off-the-rails mugging only works when you can see the actor's face. In Ghost Rider form, his character is just a skeletal automaton with neither a tongue nor a cheek to put it in.
A water-treading sequel offering just enough kooky color to keep less-discerning funnybook fans occupied, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance nudges its obscure hero's mythology forward a bit without seeming to care much how it gets there.
See all Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance reviews at Metacritic.com
Iffy for 13+
Crazy, violent, dumb action sequel quickly burns out.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is the sequel to the 2007's Ghost Rider and is based on a Marvel Comics character (albeit one who seems more on wreaking vengeance than assisting people in need). There's lots of strong, if mostly bloodless, fantasy violence; unlike the original movie, this one is in 3-D, which makes some of the action/violence even more intense. Characters burn and decay; a woman and a boy (about 13) are slapped around; there are fights, explosions, guns and shooting; and lots of stuff catches on fire. Ghost Rider's skull face is pretty creepy, too. Language is infrequent but includes one use of "f--k"; there's also some brief sexual innuendo and a quick reference to a minor character being an alcoholic (he's shown drinking but not drunk).
Messages: A similar message/theme as most other Marvel superhero movies: With great power comes great responsibility. Here, a character agrees to take on great suffering in order to help others. Unfortunately, his power also involves a deal with the devil, and violent behavior with no consequences goes hand-in-hand with the impulse to help.
Role models: Ghost Rider isn't one of the more admirable heroes in comic book movies. He struck a deal with the devil, and he's in constant torment. His power involves punishing and/or destroying the wicked -- i.e. vengeance rather than assistance. A boy is shown to be a skilled pickpocket.
Violence: Very little blood, and all of the violence is heavily FX-based, but viewers do see characters rotting and burning. A boy of about 13 and his mother are in danger; they're both physically attacked, pushed around, and hit. The boy is kidnapped and treated roughly (he's injected with a needle and gets a small cut on his face). There are also threats and heavy fighting, guns and shooting, car chases, crashes, and explosions. Minor characters die. Some scary stuff (Ghost Rider's skull face is quite creepy). Characters behave angrily and crazily.
Sex: In an animated graphic, the main character's bare butt is glimpsed during a motorcycle stunt. In another scene, it's implied that a businessman is trying to pick up a beautiful woman for sex, but nothing overt is said.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 15, 2013) - Dundee Energy Limited ("Dundee Energy" or the "Corporation") (TSX:DEN) today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Corporation's annual audited consolidated financial statements, along with management's discussion and analysis have been filed on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") and may be viewed under the Corporation's profile at www.sedar.com or the Corporation's website at www.dundee-energy.com.
Production Volumes
In 2012, oil production volumes increased to 721 bbl/d compared with an average of 692 bbl/d in 2011, with the natural decline rate being offset primarily by workover programs and the impact of the Torque acquisition. In response to declining natural gas prices, the Corporation reduced offshore capital expenditures, impacting average production volumes for natural gas in 2012.
Field Level Cash Flows
Oil and gas sales, net of associated royalties, were $30.5 million during 2012, compared with revenues of $35.8 million earned in the prior year. Sales in 2012 were adversely impacted by a substantial decrease in the realized price of oil and natural gas.
Natural gas sales in 2012 represented 69% (2011 - 71%) of total production volume on a boe basis, and 33% (2011 - 41%) of total revenues from oil and gas sales. The Corporation realized an average price on sales of natural gas of $3.18/Mcf during 2012, a decrease of 29% from the average price of $4.50/Mcf realized in the prior year.
Sales of crude oil in 2012 represented 31% (2011 - 29%) of total production volume on a boe basis, and 67% (2011 - 59%) of total revenues from oil and gas sales. During 2012, the Corporation realized an average price on sales of crude oil of $89.44/bbl (2011 - $96.15/bbl), representing a premium of approximately 3% (2011 - 1%) over the average price of the Edmonton Par. The Corporation is exploring alternative marketing options to realign the price received for its Ontario oil production to the WTI benchmark for crude oil.
Price Risk Management
The Corporation has entered into fixed price derivative contracts for the purpose of protecting its oil and natural gas revenue from the volatility of oil and natural gas prices and the volatility of Canadian to US foreign exchange rates. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Corporation recognized a gain of $2.5 million (2011 - $3.1 million) from these arrangements. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, the Corporation entered into a commodity swap on an additional 500 bbls per day of oil from February 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013, at a fixed price in Canadian dollars of $98.22/bbl.
Field Netbacks
Capital Expenditures
During 2012, the Corporation incurred capital expenditures of $12.8 million (2011 - $11.1 million) on oil and gas properties in southern Ontario.
In response to low natural gas prices, the Corporation limited its offshore capital expenditure activities to $0.1 million during 2012, compared with $4.1 million in the prior year. Offshore activities were limited to pipeline repairs and the Corporation's abandonment activities. Onshore, the Corporation expended $2.2 million on drilling and completion activities and $1.5 million to stimulate four vertical wells and one horizontal well. As a result of these workovers, production increased by approximately 15 bbls/d.
In addition to its planned capital work program, during 2012, the Corporation purchased the Dundee Discovery, a new onshore drilling rig, for approximately $3.5 million. The Dundee Discovery was purchased in order to drill more efficiently than using rigs provided by local service providers, to lower the cost of drilling, and to increase the safety involved in drilling operations. The Dundee Discovery was used to drill two wells in late 2012 confirming the efficiency and safety objectives of the new equipment. The Corporation intends to offer the Dundee Discovery to the industry on a third-party basis.
The Corporation's drill targets in late 2012 were in anticipation of extending the producing area of an oilfield. Each vertical well encountered dolomitic pay, but the quantity of recoverable oil was deemed uneconomic. The Corporation plans to re-enter the second well in the first quarter of 2013, and deviate the wellbore to a more prospective part of the reservoir.
The Corporation expended a further $3.6 million on the acquisition and processing of 2-D and 3-D seismic data, which will be critical in identifying drill candidates.
The Corporation's current cash flows generated from ongoing operating activities, as well as amounts available pursuant to its credit facility, provide the Corporation with sufficient cash flow to support its planned capital expenditures. In the event that the Corporation determines that it wants to augment its currently planned capital expenditure and drilling program, the Corporation may consider alternative sources of capital, including potential debt or equity issuances.
The construction of the Castor Project is complete and, in July 2012, the Castor Project was granted the provisional commissioning certificate, a prerequisite for the injection of cushion gas. The facilities will then be subject to testing and subsequent commissioning into the Spanish gas system. In December 2012, the Spanish authorities finalized amendments to the remuneration of underground natural gas storage projects, which Escal UGS S.L. and its lenders view as being an acceptable solution. However, final inclusion of the Castor Project into the Spanish gas system remains contingent on the injection of cushion gas, which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2013, followed by the subsequent completion of the necessary performance and control testing, and the conclusion of the audit by the Spanish authorities of the expenditures forming the remuneration basis.
At December 31, 2012, the Corporation held 32.2 million Series A Preference Shares of Eurogas International Inc. ("Eurogas International") at a nominal value. Eurogas International holds a 45% participating interest, and is the non-operating partner in the Sfax Permit, encompassing approximately 800,000 acres located within a prolific hydrocarbon fairway extending from offshore Libya, through the Gulf of Gabes, to onshore Tunisia, southeast of the city of Sfax. In November 2012, the Tunisian authorities approved a renewal of the Sfax Permit to December 8, 2015 (the "First Renewal Period"). Eurogas International is committed to drilling two exploration wells prior to expiry of the First Renewal Period. The actual cost of drilling these wells will depend on the selection of the prospect and location within the Sfax Permit. Eurogas International is currently exploring options to raise the necessary funding to complete these commitments.
The Corporation believes that important measures of operating performance include certain measures that are not defined under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and as such, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. While these measures are non-IFRS, they are common benchmarks in the oil and natural gas industry, and are used by the Corporation in assessing its operating results, including net earnings and cash flows.
Dundee Energy Limited is a Canadian-based oil and natural gas company with a mandate to create long-term value for its shareholders through the exploration, development, production and marketing of oil and natural gas, and through other high impact energy projects. Dundee Energy holds interests, both directly and indirectly, in the largest accumulation of producing oil and gas assets in Ontario, in the development of an offshore underground natural gas storage facility in Spain and, through a preferred share investment, in certain exploration and evaluation programs for oil and natural gas offshore Tunisia. The Corporation's common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "DEN".

It's possible this thread was entirely made because me and him are particularly cool, and you happen to be one of those guys who blank bumps threads hating on me, so you're a registered player hater. That could be the issue. And it just so happens that the people who came in here and agreed with you are haters against me too. Could be a coincidence, but that's enough for me to tell something fishy is going on. Lol.(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3650677&forum_id=2#33584038)

text: Cornelia Gragg's Husband Finds Photos of Her Having Sex With the Family Dog We can all agree that Cornelia Gragg possesses the looks and the raw sexuality that could burn a hole in the atmosphere. Though she's married, surely she could find legions of frisky suitors around her home in Greenwood, Arkansas. But she's too much woman for mere man... Which is why she expanded her carnality to other species, namely her dog. And just to have some keepsakes of her venture into canine love, she decided to take pictures that she could keep on her computer. Though they may have provided Cornelia with fond memories, her husband wasn't too pleased when he discovered them on their home computer. They indicated she'd been having sex with the family dog over a four-month period, from April to July, when hubby made his alarming discovery. There's no word if he confronted his wife over her preference for four-legged lovers. But there is word that he took the pictures to police, seeing as how he now found himself married to a degenerate. But by the time police came looking, Cornelia had taken it on the lam. She's now wanted for misdemeanor bestiality and defiling Arkansas state statutes by not sexing up her cousin instead.

Polygon: ''Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, The Crew, Watch Dogs, Tom Clancy's The Division: Ubisoft's slate of recent and upcoming games increasingly seem to have one thing in common: Open worlds.''
If Ubisoft's always online games sell you can bet more publishers implement the same requirement in their titles.
"Why Ubisoft Thinks Gamers Will Want Always Online Games."
We don't. You just want more control/money. Don't try to put that on gamers when it's all about what you want Ubisoft.
Ubisoft is wrong on this one, i do not want to be playing always online thats of no full benifit to me as a 95% single player gamer i dont play multiplayer that much anyways and if i do its only on certain titles most of the time and frankly thats a waste of data cap for me
I enjoy Online gaming but I want to know that my single player offline will be safe as I doubt when Skynet takes over I'll be able to login to any game servers.
