Aviator Travel Jib gives you smoother videos
The Aviator Travel Jib lets budget videographers capture videos with smooth, cinematic panning at a fraction of the price of professional systems. A jib is also known as a camera crane, which is typically used in movie productions to get a sense of the scene, usually with the camera panning or zooming from a higher vantage point.
Weighing only 3.7 pounds, the camera crane is able to extend up to 6 feet and should be able to carry your dSLR and a kit lens (the accessory can support cameras of up to 6 pounds). When not in use, it can be folded down to 24 inches for portability. … Read more

escort & place cards:
: escort & place cards text
One of the wonderful little things that really set the tone at a wedding are table cards, place cards and escort cards. And there�s so much confusion, let me just go over the definition. A tent card which we did is the item that identifies the number of the table. So if you have 12 tables its table 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12. And you don�t need a table tent if it�s open seating. If you don�t care where anyone sits you don�t need any of this. But if you care, you need to identify them using these table tents; you can do it in many different ways. Then you can have an escort card. The difference between an escort card and a place card is the function. This is an escort card; it will escort you to your table. Henry Moore knows that he is supposed to go to table 7. Now when he gets to table seven which is identified by this, I think that�s a six, but we'll pretend it�s a seven. Then when Henry Moore gets to that table he will sit anywhere, or there will be place cards at the table that identify where Henry Moore sits. so you can have an escort card and open seating at table seven, you can have plain old open seating where everyone sits where they want, or Henry Moore can go to table 7 and find his place card which will be one of these, that would say his name. And those you just do by writing his name. And now you don�t have to say that its table 7 because there�s already a table tent. Escort card escorts you to your table. Place card identifies which place on the table, you can have just place cards, but it�s very confusing if you have 12 tables or ten places, that�s 120 places people have to wander around trying to find their place card. Plus, if you�ve been a thoughtful hostess you have arranged your tables with groups of people who know each other or who you think will have an exciting time sitting together. There�s all these things to consider And then there�s the concept or your theme or your color scheme. Or another opportunity for this exciting beauty you can create. Which is the purpose of all Paper Source�s colors. Paper Source loves that kind of stuff. so lets talk about this, so this is an escort card that we have printed on the computer and the name of the couple identifies that they have to go to table 5 and we have taken a piece of our Flora and Fauna series paper glued on. So here�s a plain one, and this piece is Zyroned on to this section of it, and that is done after it has gone through the computer. So that requires some cutting skills and some computer skills. You can also do it where you don�t have the, you can do this by hand, some people have lovely handwriting, if you don't I�m sure your friend does. Or you can get a calligrapher. So that�s one style. Another style on an escort card which is a little more formal is the 'you are seated at cards' which we sell a large variety of color and font. So this is a san serif, this is a script, this is another script. And now I�m either going to hand write the table number, or you can use some of Paper Sources wonderful little number sets. This is a lovely classic, it�s our favorite, they also come in an italic number set. And its one through zero, and obviously a one and a two together is table twelve, and if it�s a really big wedding you can do two and four together and it�s twenty four. Now I�m going to just put this number on here, and it�s just a matter of stamping it, and then you have your escort card. And this is what escorts people to their seat. Then what, then you put it in an envelope and the envelope you write the persons name. And I�m writing Jimmy Marcus and now it goes on the board, or it can go simply on a table.
I�ll show you something really cute. you can make them completely yourself, and just take our standard business cards, which come as you know in a million bazillion colors so you just pick a color that suits your look, and we have rubber stamps that say 'you are seated�, I�ve lost it in this mess. So this is one that�s in italic, I�m sorry this is one that�s in script and so it matches this one. And then again what you do is you stamp 'you are seated' on the card and you can do this way ahead of time even before you�ve figured out who is sitting where because this is what goes in the envelope. And then this goes on top, and try to center it from side to side, again have plenty of extra cards so you don�t have to worry. So there it is, it�s very subtle, very lovely. And now I�m going to do the number and that�s almost really more important, and this time I�m going to do it in this nice green.
You notice I didn�t clean off my stamp in between, too much work. So now I�m going to center this, and remember this is the important piece. and there it is, and its really cute and now I�m going to take these little number one baby envelope, they are so cute they come in many colors, but I�m going to use the moss green one. And again, now I have to write the persons name. I think I�m going to invite myself. Sometimes you have to practice ahead of time to make sure the whole name gets in, it looks kind of weird if you have to continue the name on the back. There�s my cute little you are seated card.
If you are really a person who has a lot of energy and wants to make everything perfect you can then either stamp this or this with extra beautiful little rubber stamping images. These are examples of this wonderful rubber stamping on the card. This is good old Henry Moore at table seven, very subtle. This is a great idea. This is from this wonderful book that we carry at Paper Source and there are just wonderful ideas. I would recommend as many of them as possible for your wedding. There are lots of wedding books and the trick is to coordinate it to your specialties. I do miss Julia Childs, she was hero in flinging it over her shoulder. I think that wraps it up. These are all rubber stamps, this darling little one has little flowers put into it. These are one place you can go hog wild with creativity. Be creative this is a wonderful opportunity.

SBUX: Markets Miss the Value in a $5 Frappuccino
So, evaluating the phenomenon that has become Starbucks(SBUX) , it seems appropriate that I measure the company on its social effects, in addition to its impact on the market.
I have no shame in admitting I am a huge indulger of coffee from Starbucks -- particularly its Caramel Frappuccino. It is bold but yet very easy to drink. Not only does the caramel lend a distinct buttery sweetness, but the fluffy swirl of whipped cream adds just the right touch of decadence. But I digress...
The concern on the minds of investors these days suggests that not only is the company's coffee expensive, but so is its stock price. Normally, I would agree by virtue of its price-to-earnings ratio of 36. That is almost double McDonald's(MCD) P/E, but noticeably less that Dunkin's(DNKN) .
But given the company's earnings results on Thursday , it is evident that, for Starbucks, not only are these valuation metrics inconsequential, but the stock may yet be cheaper than investors realize and just might deserve " Chipotle-esque"(CMG) consideration.
What Do I Get for $5?
Well for starters, how about an 18% jolt in the company's fiscal second quarter. Global revenue increased 7% at locations that have been opened for at least one year.
This figure suggests the company is benefiting not only from an increase in foot traffic, but customers are also paying more per visit. The figure is a key metric because it excludes the impact of newly opened or closed stores.
The Chipotle comparison comes into play here because as Chipotle trades at a multiple 20 points higher than Starbucks, its growth expectations are highly attributable to performances similar to those Starbucks just reported.
Consider that Chipotle's popularity and stock has grown commensurate to strong customer traffic as well as stronger sales volumes. As a result, on the release of its IPO in 2006, the stock doubled on its first day of trading from $22 to $44. On Thursday is closed at $414.
To support the growing demand, Chipotle has gone through an aggressive expansion plan to where it now has 1,230 restaurants, adding 150 new locations in 2011. It does not plan to stop there, but will open between 155 to 165 new restaurants in 2012. Not only does the company receive tremendous support from investors, it is clear that by its recent string of earnings beats the company continues to benefit from a strong loyal customer base that loves their burritos.

Fruit is an awesome food to enjoy! Getting your fruits and vegetables at markets is an awesome and affordable way to do it. Watch this video to see what I go...
Thanks for the avocado update. :)
Diane, I had one of the avocados. I'd say the were OK. It's not my fav, but it was fun to try!
I hope there is it'll be awesome
Great, I look forward to it! There are meetups sometime with others who are into it, maybe they'll be another one around that time.
Alex of course we can try to plan something I would love to meet up at some point once i'm settled, I won't be able to in Nov because my time there will be packed but when I get moved there we can have an adventure! It's always fun to meet like minded people :D
Esra, I agree! Either these greenhouse grown tomatoes, or tomatoes from the grower are what I look for. The deal was awesome, I was some excited when I found them!
Whitney, that's nice! I hope you can achieve your goal :) Maybe once you move down here we'll cross paths!
Those tomatoes are THE BEST!! In supermarkets here they're ~$2.50 per package, so you got a fantastic deal no them!
I wanna work in disney haha
I've always been alittle kid at heart.
And i can't wait to get there I love the weather and food choices in fl
Cool. Never been to Vero Beach, but was never really a fan of Orlando. Both places are more North (though Orlando may bring more tropicals from the South due to demand/city size), but at the very least Florida citrus should be available in the winter. Hope that process goes well for you :)

About ICO
Melanie is dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet.
Dr. Speilburg earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and graduated with valedictory honors from the Illinois College of Optometry. She completed a residency in primary care and ocular disease at ICO, where she currently works full time as an instructor of optometry. Dr. Speilburg serves as an attending optometrist in the Primary Care and Contact Lens services of the Illinois Eye Institute, educating second, third and fourth year students. In addition, Dr. Speilburg is involved in clinical laboratory education. She is a fellowship candidate with the American Academy of Optometry and a member of the American Optometric Association.
Why ICO?
As a relatively new optometry doctor, it was not so long ago that I was investigating the different schools and colleges of optometry across the country. The educational experience at ICO speaks for itself with respect to National Board scores, but I chose to attend ICO because of the comfortable atmosphere. I knew the patient population would create a superior clinical experience; the ability to see what you've learned with hands-on experience elevates the educational experience. The faculty at ICO are committed to the students and make learning top priority. I felt this commitment as student, and witness it daily as a faculty member. Classroom education, laboratories and clinical experiences meld together creating an environment that is both challenging and supportive. I never regretted my decision to attend ICO and I am proud to be a faculty member.
Dr. Rozwat graduated from Indiana University School of Optometry in 1994 and completed a primary care residency at the Illinois College of Optometry. After her residency she was hired at ICO and has been there since. Dr. Rozwat is the chief of the Primary Care Eye Service. She also precepts students in the Primary Care clinic. Dr. Rozwat has been a member of the Admissions Committee since 1997 and enjoys doing weekly applicant interviews. She is the Chair of the Faculty Candidate Committee and the Faculty Travel Committee. She is an ACOE consultant. Dr. Rozwat has done several contract research projects for Essilor, comparing visual performance of progressive lenses.
Why ICO?
Chicago is a great city to live in with amazing restaurants, entertainment, culture and access to parks and the lakefront for outdoor activities.
Faculty and students come from a wide range of backgrounds and work together to create a cohesive learning environment.
The Illinois Eye Institute offers students the chance to examine patients with a high proportion of diverse pathology. IEI has the newest technology to manage patients fully and top notch specialty services.
Dr. McLeod received her optometric degree from ICO and completed a residency in ocular disease and special testing at SUNY State College of Optometry in New York. Dr. McLeod is an attending optometrist in the Primary Care Service, Urgent Care Service, and Advance Care Service at the Illinois Eye Institute. In addition, she serves as a lab coordinator in the optometry sequence for second-year students.

Why ICO?
ICO has an excellent didactic and clinical education program with faculty members who are dedicated and enthusiastic about teaching. The Illinois Eye Institute, ICO's onsite clinic, offers a rich and rewarding clinical experience.
Dr. Valerie M. Kattouf is a 1995 graduate of the Illinois College of Optometry. Upon graduation, Dr. Kattouf completed a residency in pediatrics and binocular vision at the State University of New York.

Dr. Kattouf's career focus is teaching courses in the areas of strabismus and amblyopia and infant and toddler examination skills. Dr. Kattouf has authored articles in optometric literature and lectured at numerous scientific meetings on the topics of pediatric eye care and strabismus. Dr. Kattouf also is a fellow of the American Academy of Optometry and the College of Optometrists in Visual Development, and a volunteer member of the American Optometric Association. Dr. Kattouf was named the Illinois Optometric Association's Young Optometrist of the Year in 2002.
Why ICO?
My aspirations as a student NEVER included a career in academic optometry. Throughout my years as a student and resident, my teaching skills were fostered and my love of teaching within the optometric profession grew. I felt humbled when asked to join the faculty at ICO in 1997. As a student and as a faculty member, the warmth of the faculty, staff and students at ICO creates a family environment that makes going to work each and every day a joy.
Dr. Augsburger is the fifth president of the Illinois College of Optometry. He previously served in academic and administrative positions at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and at the Ohio State University. He is the only person to have been named the Optometrist of the Year in three states, and also be named the National Optometrist of the Year by the American Optometric Association.

She is a Fellow and has achieved the level of Diplomate in Public Health and Environmental Optometry at the American Academy of Optometry, as well as a Fellow in the College of Optometrists in Visual Development.
Why ICO?
I chose ICO because my father was a 1948 graduate of NICO (an ICO predecessor). He loved his work as an optometrist and valued his education from NICO. I am proud to say I am a graduate of the same institution.
ICO Alumnus Irvin Borish, OD, Father of Modern Optometry, Dies at 99
lmost half the 461 seats in the $3.5 million, state-of-the-art Lecture Center have been snapped up since the launch of ICO's Name A Seat campaign began last summer. Nearly 200 silver nameplates already have been installed, and every chair could be "booked" before the yearlong initiative ends June 30. If you're hoping to get Seat No. 65, though, you're out of luck. Stephen Mazur, OD '97, called first dibs. As a first-year, Dr. Mazur staked a claim to the chair's creaky predecessor, occupying it so faithfully that it became a running gag with his dorm mates in Brady Hall. "When the opportunity came to purchase a seat in the renovated lecture room there was no doubt Seat 65 had my name on it," the Calgary, Alberta, optometrist says. "So I purchased Seat 65 to celebrate that memorable first year and to honor my friends in the Class of 1997! Let the memory live again."
Overwhelming Response
Every nameplate in the sleek, dove-gray hall tells a story. Together, they speak volumes about collective loyalty and affection for ICO.
"We're truly amazed," says Dwight H. Akerman, OD '80, the ICO Board of Trustees member chairing the drive. "Often times, when an institution asks alums for donations, it's viewed with skepticism. However, we've certainly not experienced that as evidenced by this campaign. We're well on our way to our target of selling each and every seat."
Just as gratifying are the stories shared by donors and alumni who signed up "for the opportunity to commemorate their years at ICO in a very positive way, or to memorialize or honor someone they care about," Dr. Akerman says.
He chose to do both. Dr. Akerman, director of professional affairs at Alcon Laboratories in Fort Worth, Texas, purchased two seats next to each other in the center. One plaque is engraved with his name "to thank ICO for the outstanding education provided for me." The other is dedicated to his father and mentor, Dwight M. Akerman, OD, who died at 91 in 2010. He was a 1944 graduate of Monroe College of Optometry, a predecessor of ICO.
"He was so proud of being an optometrist, so proud of his profession, and so proud that I became an optometrist and followed in his footsteps," says Dr. Akerman, whose father practiced for more than 50 years in LaSalle and Streator, Ill. "He was my father and best friend. We're together in the front row center, side by side, forever."
Family Matters
That kind of sentiment is what inspired the campaign last June, and it's what has driven seat sponsorship at a brisk pace. The front and back row chairs are the most popular, but there are still prime spots remaining at the platinum ($1,200), gold ($800) and silver ($400) levels. Supporters can request a particular or random seat.
Mark Colip, OD '92, and vice president of student, alumni and college development at ICO, believes the decision to open the seats to sponsorships has made the Lecture Center even more of a campus centerpiece.
"As the oldest college of optometry in the United States, ICO has many traditions," Dr. Colip says. "The Name a Seat campaign allows us to link the latest and greatest in technology for our current students with the generosity, stories and traditions of our most supportive alumni."
Family ties are a recurring theme in the campaign. Even bittersweet back stories are tinged with a sense of legacy and unshakable commitment to the future.
Thelma Hottel, widow of Philip Hottel, OD '48, reserved a chair in memory of her husband of nearly 60 years. Dr. Hottel, a longtime Iowa City optometrist, died in 2009 at age 83. For his wife, the engraved nameplate serves as an eternal valentine to her husband.
"He always joked that he married an older woman. I was five weeks older than he was," Mrs. Hottel says, adding that she hopes her granddaughter will one day attend ICO.
ICO information clerk Anthony Barone – himself an ICO fixture at the main entrance – bought two seats: one for his late parents, Pasquale and Josephine Barone, and one for his late uncle and aunt, Carmen and Jenny Delabadia. He says the first-generation Italian immigrants raised him with love, and their devotion never wavered when he left school at 16 due to undiagnosed health issues.
"It's just a way of not forgetting them and showing respect for them so their memory will stay alive," says Barone, 74.
Alvin Zohn, OD '49, "sat down and wrote a check right there" after touring the new Lecture Center during Homecoming 2011. The 86-year-old optometrist from Toledo, Ohio, commissioned one for himself and one as a tribute to his son and fellow alum, Michael R. Zohn, OD '79. The younger Zohn lost his battle with cancer in 2008.
His son was the campus shutterbug during his ICO days, Dr. Zohn says. The gadget-loving Mike would have been "flabbergasted" by the high-definition TV screens, laptop and Wi-Fi friendly desks, and webcasts of lectures.
Like son, like father. The senior Zohn is very impressed with the tiered hall and its movable walls, ergonomic seats, and cutting-edge audio systems, pronouncing it "just marvelous."
What's in a Name?
By their nature, all inscriptions are meaningful. And some are enigmatic, none more than "The Four Horsemen of Optometry."
Floyd Mizener, OD '48, DOS, PhD, confesses he came up with the Bible-inspired tag, a play on the nickname for Knute Rockne's famous backfield players. The members of his quartet, all World War II vets, revised Illinois vision care guidelines instead of gridiron history.
He personally helped draft "Rules of the Road" vision requirements for then-Secretary of State Jim Edgar in the 1980s, Dr. Mizener says. Fellow "Horsemen" Lawrence R. Vogel, OD '48, and the late Floyd W. Woods, OD '51, and Irving Kernis, OD '37, backed him, teaming with him to spearhead laws ensuring schoolchildren receive comprehensive vision exams by eye doctors.
The surviving Horsemen and the Woods and Kernis families hope their chair will inspire today's students to do the same – and form those same kinds of bonds that last decades.
His co-Horsemen "were always ready to listen on the telephone, ready to act, ready to do something," says Dr. Mizener, 86, of Darien, Ill. "Age-wise, we were not all too far apart. We had the same common denominators: We came out of the services, got into the profession, and saw things that needed to be done for the better interest of the people."

ICO Alumnus Irvin Borish, OD, Father of Modern Optometry, Dies at 99
Irvin Borish, OD, DOS, a distinguished ICO alumni who is considered "the father of modern optometry," died March 3 in Florida at the age of 99.
Dr. Borish graduated from the Northern Illinois College of Optometry – a predecessor to ICO – in 1934. He served on the school's faculty for eight years, including as assistant dean. He then established a private practice in Kokomo, Ind., and was instrumental in starting the Indiana University School of Optometry and the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry.
Dr. Borish's influence has been felt at ICO and every other optometry school in the nation for decades. He authored numerous textbooks, including the much-used Clinical Refraction, and was granted five patents for contact lenses, including bifocal contacts. He was a founding member of the Indiana Chapter of the American Academy of Optometry, was a president of the Indiana Optometric Association and the editor of the Indiana Journal of Optometry. He served as adjunct faculty at several schools.
When Dr. Borish retired from IU in 1982, he assumed the Benedict Professorship of Optometric Practice at the University of Houston. The school later established the Irvin M. Borish Chair in Optometric Practice, an endowed chair with more than $1 million of support. In 1995, Indiana University honored him by establishing the Borish Center for Ophthalmic Research.
Dr. Borish received numerous awards during his career, including the the prestigious AOA Apollo Award for the visual betterment of mankind in 1968 and the AOA Distinguished Service Award in 1989. He was inducted into the National Optometry Hall of Fame in 1998.
Dr. Borish is survived by his daughter, Fran Goldman, of Dallas, Penn.

On Friday, April 5, more than 50 optometrists and 250 students gathered for ICO's annual Practice Opportunities Symposium. Following a VIP lunch for OD panelists and sponsors, the panelists headed to classrooms and divided into groups according to area of expertise: Canadian practitioners, corporate practice, externship preceptors, practice management, private practice, residencies and specialty/multidisciplinary practice. The panelists fielded questions from students and addressed such subjects as hiring staff, expectations of externs and working in VA hospitals. Following the panels, students networked with panelists and representatives from more than 20 companies at the exhibitor fair in the Gym.

Nicholas Lorenzo Was Serving Up Sausage At The Safeway Meat Counter
Louisville, KY (The Weekly Vice) - Nicholas Lorenzo, a 25-year-old Kentucky man was jailed late last month after he was allegedly caught 'beating his meat' behind the meat counter at Safeway.
According to Louisville Police, a woman was shopping with her baby at a Louisville area Safeway when she encountered more at the store's meat counter than she bargained for.
Investigators say the woman approached the meat counter and was being helped by a meat counter employee when she began seeing motion through the display glass. When she took a closer look, she noticed that the employee was holding his penis.
She told police she looked away for a moment, but when she turned to look again, she noted that he had begun masturbating again. He continued to talk to her while masturbating, however, when he noticed the expression on her face, he placed his penis back inside his pants.
The woman left the counter area and contacted store management and police. Lorenzo reportedly admitted to having his penis out of his pants.
During questioning, she reportedly told police she was shopping in the same store when the same employee began following her around. No charges were filed in that alleged incident.
Lorenzo was booked into jail on a charge of indecent exposure. His pre-trial conference is scheduled for March 17.

''Look" I'm Looking at her
She wants me
She has to have me
She can't live without me - March 2, 2010 at 7:25 AM
I sympathise brother. I've been there, but never got caught. I used to do a dry rub while bagging groceries, because so many beautiful women pass through on any given day. I looked over one day and a fellow bagboy was doing the same thing, we were both getting off while baggin groceries. It's more common than you think.

Wow, the local. Lol...
I wonder what my boyfriend does every time a hot woman answers the door when he delivers their pizza (sometimes in a towel or bikini). I'm sure a whole scenario runs through his head and he has to pull over every once in awhile (The whole billboard sign scene from Super Troopers just popped in my head....lol) - March 3, 2010 at 9:02 AM
That scene is boss. I hope your boyfriend doesn't work at senor pizza. Second thought you might want to rent Loverboy with patrick dempsey sometime. That very well could be what your boyfriend is up to and explain his depleted sex drive and lackluster performance in the bedroom lately.

I sure wish they had a picture of the woman who complained. She must have been hot!

But for Nicole Trump, a ninth grader at Millcreek Junior High, one of her dreams has already come true. On May 8, Nicole's book "Infected" will be released nationally.
"One day during the summer when I was 12, I got bored and picked up a green notebook and a pencil and started writing," said Nicole. She wrote the whole manuscript in longhand over the next four months. A year and-a-half later she decided to try to get it published. She typed it up, reworded some of it, and had her dad, Darrick, edit it.
"Then I went online and searched 'publishers' for two days," said Nicole, "When I found Tate Publishing, I thought 'This is the one!' They were very honest in their requirements and left me the copyright and a fair share of the royalties. The company helps the author, not just themselves."
ऀ Within a week the company emailed Darrick with an acceptance. "My dad called me and said, 'They accepted it!' And I just started crying," said Nicole. According to Nicole's mother Sandy, only 4 percent of what is submitted for publication actually gets accepted.
Then the long, arduous process of editing began. A year later, a book with a shiny black cover and "Nicole Trump" in bold red, is ready for release.
The book is set in the future amid a viral epidemic that reduces the world population from seven billion to four billion over two years. The infection makes the victim want to destroy other humans.
The book is "about a girl who lives on an 'immunity reserve.' She has been put in frozen hibernation for 15 years and now wakes up and must find or rebuild civilization with two friends."

Neck Not Required

About Me Pro Photographer
I didn't get this strap to put around my neck. The reason I needed this strap is because my point & shoot is usually attached on my belt and as I grab for it I almost drop the camera while I try to dig it out of the pouch or the nylon strap gets caught on the velcro. This neck strap solves both of those problems. I can grab the strap easily because of the length and it never gets stuck on the velcro!

Abstract: Purpose: To increase understanding of the meaning of quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS in four countries in sub-Saharan Africa: Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa, and Swaziland. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design and convenience sample, we administered a survey and collected data on demographic characteristics, measures of severity of illness, and perceptions of quality of life. The purposefully selected sample (N=743) consisted of community-based people living with HIV/AIDS in 2002. Based on the Wilson and Cleary framework for organizing variables related to quality of life, a hierarchical multiple regression was conducted with quality of life as the dependent variable. Results: The sample of 743 persons was 61.2% female with a mean age of 34 years. Approximately 62% of the sample reported having received an AIDS diagnosis. Ten predictor variables explained 53.2% of the variance in life satisfaction. Those participants with higher life satisfaction scores were less educated, had worries about disclosure and finances, did not have an AIDS diagnosis or other comorbid conditions, had lower symptom intensity, had greater functioning, and had fewer health worries. None of these participants was taking antiretroviral medications at the time of this study. Conclusions: Several dimensions of the Wilson and Cleary model of quality of life were significantly related to life satisfaction for people living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. Quality of life for this sample was primarily defined as overall functional ability and control over symptom intensity. These findings are similar to studies in developed countries that have shown the significant relationships among functional abilities, symptom control, and perceived quality of life. As antiretroviral medications become more available in these areas, community members and care providers can help clients realize the possibility of living well with HIV/AIDS, and can work with clients to improve functional ability and control symptom intensity to make living well a reality.

Abstract: In Botswana, there is dearth of literature on the role of nursing in health-care policy and resource allocation and yet nurses constitute the majority (85%) of health manpower. The health-care delivery system depends mostly on nurses for service provision. There were two main purposes of this study: first, to gather descriptive data from major key players (with particular emphasis on nurses) concerning knowledge of the policy process and resource allocation for management and care of clients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in Botswana; and, second, to identify nurse characteristics (e.g. position, education, experience, job category) associated with motivation to influence healthcare policy in HIV/AIDS management and care in Botswana. A policy process conceptual framework was used to guide data collection and analysis. A case-study research method was used to conduct in-depth interviews from a purposive sample of 19 policy makers, and a survey questionnaire was used to collect data from a purposive sample of 95 registered nurses from six study sites in Botswana. The study findings indicate minimal participation of nurses in health-care policy process and resource allocation. The demographic variable of position was a predictor of the involvement of nurses in policy and in budgetary decisions. Both survey and interview data indicated that this minimal participation of nurses in the policy process resulted in implementation problems, thus compromising service provision. Implications of the findings for the nursing profession, nursing practice and policy, which address the importance of nurses' involvement, are discussed.

Abstract: Background The Botswana government recently implemented a policy of routine or "opt-out" HIV testing in response to the high prevalence of HIV infection, estimated at 37% of adults. Methods and Findings We conducted a cross-sectional, population-based study of 1,268 adults from five districts in Botswana to assess knowledge of and attitudes toward routine testing, correlates of HIV testing, and barriers and facilitators to testing, 11 months after the introduction of this policy. Most participants (81%) reported being extremely or very much in favor of routine testing. The majority believed that this policy would decrease barriers to testing (89%), HIV-related stigma (60%), and violence toward women (55%), and would increase access to antiretroviral treatment (93%). At the same time, 43% of participants believed that routine testing would lead people to avoid going to the doctor for fear of testing, and 14% believed that this policy could increase gender-based violence related to testing. The prevalence of self-reported HIV testing was 48%. Adjusted correlates of testing included female gender (AOR ¼ 1.5, 95% CI ¼ 1.1–1.9), higher education (AOR¼2.0, 95% CI¼1.5–2.7), more frequent healthcare visits (AOR¼ 1.9, 95% CI ¼ 1.3–2.7), perceived access to HIV testing (AOR ¼ 1.6, 95% CI ¼ 1.1–2.5), and inconsistent condom use (AOR ¼ 1.6, 95% CI ¼ 1.2–2.1). Individuals with stigmatizing attitudes toward people living with HIV and AIDS were less likely to have been tested for HIV/AIDS (AOR ¼ 0.7, 95% CI ¼ 0.5–0.9) or to have heard of routine testing (AOR ¼ 0.59, 95% CI ¼ 0.45–0.76). While experiences with voluntary and routine testing overall were positive, 68% felt that they could not refuse the HIV test. Key barriers to testing included fear of learning one's status (49%), lack of perceived HIV risk (43%), and fear of having to change sexual practices with a positive HIV test (33%). Conclusions Routine testing appears to be widely supported and may reduce barriers to testing in Botswana. As routine testing is adopted elsewhere, measures should be implemented to assure true informed consent and human rights safeguards, including protection from HIV-related discrimination and protection of women against partner violence related to testing.

Abstract: This paper reports an evaluation of the implementation of the School Health Policy (SHP) in Botswana schools. Historically, school health originated with a concern for the number of children being excluded from school owing to communicable diseases. In 1999, the three ministries, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Local Government, developed the Botswana School Health Policy and Procedures Manual. The school health services are organized at national, district and local levels. The purpose of the evaluation was to explore how school health services were delivered in schools in Botswana. Data on current practices on school health were collected using observations, field notes and interviews of various school personnel in 27 schools located in the Gaborone district, and surrounding villages using the assessment guide in the SHP. Content analysis was used to analyse the data. Several challenges to implementing the school health policy were identified, for example, lack of human resources, lack of equipment supplies, lack of health knowledge among teachers, as well as organizational problems. This has budgetary implications for Botswana at both central and district levels. Commitment of all stakeholders in all ministries concerned would also improve the implementation of school health services. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/563 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: HIV-related fatigue is a debilitating and disabling symptom that persists for months and years. In 743 HIV/AIDS patients from Southern Africa, the authors found ratings of HIV-related fatigue to be highly prevalent. The authors conducted a secondary data analysis within the theoretical context of the University of California, San Francisco Symptom Management Model. The analysis focused on 538 patients who reported fatigue to investigate correlates and predictors of fatigue severity in relationship to demographic and HIV/AIDS illness indicators, as well as HIV-specific physical and psychological symptoms. A hierarchical regression model explored the contributions of those five blocks on fatigue severity. Of the 47% of the total variance in fatigue severity, a combination of variables within the health and illness block (6%), the physical symptoms block (7%) and the psychological symptom block (2%) contributed significantly to the increase in fatigue severity scores. Fatigue severity in Southern Africa was moderate, and the factors contributing to the perceived fatigue were most likely related to symptoms of acute HIV disease (such as fever and gastrointestinal problems). In conclusion, fatigue severity is less impacted by demographic or environmental variables but much more by co-occurring symptoms and HIV disease severity. The results of this study imply the need for more research to understand if improvements in water quality and access to food would prevent infection and diarrhea and whether sufficient access to antiretroviral treatments to manage the HIV infection would improve fatigue and co-occurring symptom profiles.

Abstract: This study describes the symptom experience of 743 men and women living with HIV/AIDS in Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa, and Swaziland. Data were obtained in 2002 by using a cross-sectional design. A survey of participants included 17 sociodemographic items and the 64-item Revised Sign and Symptom Checklist for Persons with HIV Disease. Results indicate a strong correlation between the frequency of reported symptoms and their intensity (r .84, p .00). Participants who reported having enough money for daily expenses also reported significantly fewer symptoms. There were no significant differences in symptom frequency between men and women or by location of residence. The study showed a complex picture of HIV-related symptoms in all four countries. Because of the high levels of symptoms reported, the results imply an urgent need for effective home- and community-based symptom management in countries where antiretroviral therapy is unavailable to help patients and their families manage and control AIDS symptoms and improve quality of life.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to elucidate contributing factors to the disunity in nursing, and argue that if united nursing would be able to achieve harmony, respect, and, above all, recognition. Social and historical identities imperil nurses, make them defenseless, and cause disunity. The relation between nursing and effects of gender discourses in power struggles is also accentuated. The paper concludes by advancing solutions to the disunity and argues that if measures are not taken urgently, unity in nursing will remain intangible and a legacy of disunity passes to the incoming generation.

Abstract: The papers in this special issue focus on the topic of violence against women. This group of scholarly works explores theoretical issues, context and health care interventions pertaining to violence in women's lives. In conjunction with this special issue, this editorial provides a synopsis of presentations and discussions about the topic of the intersections of genderbased violence, HIV and the girl child that took place in July 2008 as part of the 17th conference of International Council of Women's Health Issues (ICOWHI) held in Gaborone, Botswana, focusing on the Girl Child. ICOWHI, in conjunction with the University of Botswana, Centre for the Study of HIV and AIDS (CSHA) sponsored a one day preconference on "Gender-based violence and HIV Risk among Adolescent Girls." A diverse interdisciplinary group of scholars from around the world closely examined these interconnected epidemics in a rich day long discussion. The aim of the preconference as well as the articles in this special issue is to build scholarship and inform practice of cultural and contextual factors as they pertain to violence in the lives of women and girls in order to promote their health, safety and well-being globally.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to create a debate on whether the name "nursing" has any influence on how the nursing profession is perceived today by other healthcare professionals and the general public the nursing profession serves. A quantum leap is being suggested by the authors, as only a paradigm shift could change the world's mindset on nursing and its recognition as a profession. A change in name is what the authors see as a way of changing the unflattering perception of nurses and enhancing its status to the level of respectability of other healthcare professions.
