MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to help meet the increasing demand for nurses in Minnesota and North Dakota, Rasmussen College has added the Professional Nursing (RN) Associate's degree program at its Moorhead campus. The College also launched the Mobility Bridge Transfer option, allowing LPNs to transfer in credits and quickly progress to an Associate's Degree in Nursing. Both options are available for enrollment now in Moorhead, with students starting classes January 2014. There is no waiting list for the Rasmussen Nursing program at the Moorhead campus.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121105/MM06109LOGO)
"The expansion of the nursing degree program is an example of Rasmussen College's commitment to providing students a strong foundation to enter and thrive in the workplace," said John Smith-Coppes, Moorhead Campus President. "Adding the Associate's Degree and Mobility Bridge Transfer option at the Moorhead campus will allow Rasmussen College to enhance and educate current LPN nurses and students seeking a registered nursing career to meet the increasing complexity of care needs in Minnesota and North Dakota."
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of registered nurses needed in Minnesota and North Dakota is expected to grow 22 percent by 2020, with an estimated 2,500 job openings annually between the two states.
Professional Nursing Associate's Degree
Rasmussen's Professional Nursing Associate's degree is the path to a registered nursing career. With curriculum that includes National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) prep work in all degree courses, students leave the program prepared to pass the NCLEX-RN exam and start working as registered nurses.
Mobility Bridge Entrance Option: From LPN to RN
The Professional Nursing Associate's Mobility Bridge Transfer option provides a pathway for current LPNs to obtain an RN Associate's degree in as little as 12 to 18 months. LPN students can transfer credits from previous academic and work experience, allowing them to more efficiently advance from one degree to the next.
Students interested in applying are encouraged to attend a nursing information session at the Moorhead campus or visit http://www.rasmussen.edu/nursing-session-form/.

AoT to raise airport departure tax
- Published: 24 Oct 2013 at 16.21
- Online news: Local News
The Airports of Thailand board of directors has agreed on the need to raise the airport departure tax for both domestic and international passengers by 100 baht, AoT Chairman Sita Divari said on Thursday.
The departure tax for domestic flights would rise from 100 baht to 200 baht, and from 700 baht to 800 baht for international flights, Mr Sita said.
The increase still needs final approval from aviation and transport authorities.
The new fees would apply at all airports operated by AoT when approved.
The latest attack on tourists' wallets comes on top of the government's move to charge foreigners a new arrival tax at airports and land border crossings.

On Sunday, Public Health Minister Pradit Sintavanarong said the government is considering a plan to charge foreigners a 500-baht entry fee from January next year. He claimed the extra charge would lead to an improvement in the quality of tourists entering Thailand.
It would also offset the costs of state hospitals treating tourists who have accidents or fall ill and have no insurance cover.
Foreigners who arrive at airports would be charged 500 baht while those who enter the country by land would be charged 30 baht a day.
The foreigner-entry charge has been widely criticised on web forums, by tour operators and people working in the hospitality industry.
Malaysian tourists are the latest group to complain.
Withaya Lim, a tour operator in Hat Yai, said many tour agencies and tourists from Malaysia had contacted him to complain after they learned of the entry charge plan.
"This will increase costs for tour agencies bringing people to Thailand and they will have to pass the cost on to their customers," Mr Withaya said.
"I'm afraid this will result in a drop in the number of foreign tourist arrivals, particularly from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei."
According to the AoT, passenger traffic through Thailand's six main airports showed robust growth in the fiscal year to last month, climbing 20.4% from the previous year to 86.13 million travellers, both domestic and international.
The number of flights through these airports increased by 16.5% to 559,397 during the same period.
Suvarnabhumi, the country's gateway airport, continued to dominate traffic volume with 50.90 million passengers and 287,997 flights, accounting for 59% of overall passenger numbers and 51.5% of all take-offs and landings.
It was followed by Bangkok's second airport Don Mueang, which largely serves discount airlines, with 15.56 million passengers and 135,976 flights.
Phuket airport recorded 10.98 million passengers with 70,198 flights.
Chiang Mai had 5.17 million passengers and 41,295 flights, while Hat Yai had 2.47 million passengers and 17,056 flights, and Chiang Rai 1.05 million passengers and 6,882 flights.
Suvarnabhumi is served by 107 international airlines. The airport connects Bangkok with more than 150 cities around the world.
The top five nationalities of tourists arriving through Suvarnabhumi are Chinese, Japanese, Indian, South Korean and Russian.

The Cherokee faced a long, uphill battle spanning decades to secure the idyllic tract of land now housing a brand new K-12 school for the tribe.
The 143-acre parcel was part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park until a few years ago and required persistence and political maneuvering on the tribe's part to wrest it away from the park service. Ultimately, the tribe brokered a land swap by giving the park service a 218-acre tract along the Blue Ridge Parkway near Waterrock Knob in exchange.
Leaders of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians had sought the flat, valley-like tract near Big Cove to expand the small stronghold of tribal lands hemmed in by steep mountains and federally-owned land. The Cherokee say they were promised the tract in the 1940s as compensation for construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway cutting through tribal lands. The tribe never received the promised tract and were never compensated for land taken for the parkway construction.
The land swap was pushed through Congress by then-U.S. Rep. Charles Taylor, R-Brevard. At a dedication of the new school last week, speaker after speaker recalled the ordeal of the land swap and paid homage to the support from Taylor and credited him with making the land swap a reality. Taylor could not be there but sent his son to speak instead.
To the tribe, however, it wasn't so much a land swap, as "getting our land back," said Chief Michell Hicks.
"We had to go back and rebuy it. That describes who we are as a people. We are survivors," Hicks said. "When you step on this land, you are on sacred ground."

Last July, voters in Plumas County went to the polls to approve Measure A and ensure that Plumas District Hospital and our emergency room remain open and ready to serve the medical needs of our community now and into the future.
While we struggle to mitigate the impact of the unexpected tax increases, our community once again has some important decisions to make. There are those in the community who wish to rescind or modify Measure A.
Without our ability to sell bonds in the current economy, we will not be able to make the improvements needed to keep our hospital open.
Even without the need to meet seismic upgrades in the short term, if we are unable to make critically needed improvements to our deteriorating infrastructure, the hospital is not sustainable in the long term.
If we wait to make improvements, increased costs for construction, materials and an unknown healthcare economy may make it financially impossible. Without these badly needed improvements to our facility, we could anticipate closure of the hospital in the next 10–20 years.
This would have a devastating impact on our community, its health and its economy.
Without an emergency room, victims of heart attacks, accidents, injuries and other medical emergencies would have to travel 75 miles to the next closest full-service emergency room for life-saving care. Expectant mothers would have to travel that distance to deliver their babies.
We would lose doctors that rely on the hospital to provide high-quality care for our patients. In short, our community would be without the critical life support systems it needs.
As one of the largest employers in the area, the closure of the hospital also would mean the loss of hundreds of jobs. Coming on the heels of job losses at our local mill, this would further devastate the local economy.
The closure of any hospital can have an adverse impact on a community, including the ability to attract or retain physicians, residents and businesses, and a negative impact on property values and local tax revenues leading to further reductions in local government services and quality of life.
These are very important things to consider. We must put anger aside and work together to ensure that our hospital remains open for the health of our community.
We will do everything possible on our end to keep this project moving forward, and look forward to your participation and input to make it happen. Working together is in the best interest of our community.

Union's PA program emphasizes a ministry of healing
This spring marked the tenth class to graduate from Union's physician assistant (PA) program, and the fourth to complete the program with master's degrees. And while the program has always had a reputation for turning out highly-qualified health professionals, recent classes have proven the program keeps getting stronger. In four of the past five years, 100 percent of graduates passed the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination on their first attempt. So it's no surprise that Union College's PAs are in high demand.

The bed itself took ages for her to find and she finally found it on Criagslist! She saw great potential in this bed-frame and the curves in the foot board are simply too beautiful. She had repair work done to make the frame stable for her mattress and now it's like new!
She writes to us: "Your products make everything so easy to do and the results are just fabulous. I plan on doing over my 4 poster this summer with the large rose swags and my dressers too."
Ms. Veiga, you have an incredible eye and such a talent! We're so happy you shared these beautiful pictures with us and let us share it with our fans! No doubt this amazing piece will be an inspiration to us all.

CORONACH, Sask. - The sweet smell of sagebrush fills your senses as you walk toward Castle Butte, a sandstone and clay formation rising more than 60 metres into the Prairie sky.
This is the Big Muddy Badlands, part of southern Saskatchewan where outlaws once hid in caves and cowboys still roam the range.
Trish Manske leads tours through the badlands and says people from all over the world love the landscape.
"Most people don't have words," said Manske.
"They're just absolutely awestruck ... especially on a day when the weather is conducive, they will stand on the hills and just soak it in. They can't get it all absorbed, especially people that are from a country, say, like Germany, where everything is so closed in or, say, people from Japan that are used to having people all around them, and they just can't believe the open space and the view.
"It almost amazes them that such country exists because they're not used to that. They think Saskatchewan is just flat and they see this and they can't believe that it's here."
The Big Muddy Badlands are in a valley hugging the U.S. border, near the community of Coronach, Sask.
The area was formed at a time when, as Manske says, you could get from the Big Muddy to the Big Easy.
"That is what I have always been told is that when the glaciers were melting, that there was water in the valley and that you could jump into a canoe and canoe from the Big Muddy to New Orleans because our water flows south," she said.
What's left behind is a rugged terrain with some areas that can only be accessed by horse or quad.
In the late 1890s and early 1900s, the area was an escape route for outlaws smuggling horses across the border. Caves in the hills made for good hiding spots.
Tamela Burgess grew up on a ranch on the American side of the valley listening to stories of the outlaws. When she married a Canadian rancher, the history was in her own yard, literally.
The Burgess Ranch covers more than 8,000 hectares.
The ranch — which was owned by a different family in the early 1900s — was the first place Mounties stayed when they were sent to the area, but outlaws smuggling horses also used it as a safe haven.
"Because the ranch is so big and the area is so big, they hid out in the area, but they used the ranch to be able to have a place to change the brands on the horses," said Burgess, who spent years researching the history and wrote a book on it.
"They got started doing that before the law got down in here and then they didn't stop once the law came in. They just kind of manoeuvred around them. When (officers) were out on patrol they were coming in here."
Burgess shares stories of the outlaws with visitors to the ranch. It's one of the stops on Manske's tour.
The tour lasts about seven hours.
It includes stops at Castle Butte, the ruins of a North West Mounted Police site, the outlaw caves (seconds from the U.S. border), a heritage school house, stone effigies of a turtle and a buffalo (the only known one in North America) and Aust's General Store (where the motto is "If we don't have it, you don't need it").
Many of the stops are on private land and only accessible on the tour.
Manske says giving the tours is like "inviting people into my home."
"I believe in hospitality," she said.
"This is where I live and so each tourist is like I have invited someone into my own home and I enjoy showing them where I live and I enjoy seeing people's reaction to where I live because ... I'm proud of this country.
"Every day I go out and I see something different, something new. Every flower that blooms comes at a different point in the season and I see something new every time I go out because the landscape changes. I just enjoy being able to see it myself, so I can't imagine why everyone else wouldn't enjoy seeing it too."
If You Go...
Coronach is about 215 kilometres south of Regina, near the U.S. border. It is about a 2 1/2-hour drive from Regina.
The long tours are scheduled to go out in vans every day in July and August. There are also shorter tours in private vehicles from the May long weekend until the end of September.
To book a tour, call 306-267-3312.

Real-Time and Robust Monocular SLAM Using Predictive Multi-resolution Descriptors
Denis Chekhlov, Mark Pupilli, Walterio Mayol-Cuevas, Andrew Calway, Real-Time and Robust Monocular SLAM Using Predictive Multi-resolution Descriptors. 2nd International Symposium on Visual Computing. November 2006. PDF, 2275 Kbytes. External informationAbstract
We describe a robust system for vision-based SLAM using a single camera which runs in real-time, typically around 30 fps. The key contribution is a novel utilisation of multi-resolution descriptors in a coherent top-down framework. The resulting system provides superior performance over previous methods in terms of robustness to erratic motion, camera shake, and the ability to recover from measurement loss. SLAM itself is implemented within an unscented Kalman filter framework based on a constant position motion model, which is also shown to provide further resilience to non-smooth camera motion. Results are presented illustrating successful SLAM operation for challenging hand-held camera movement within desktop environments.

text: Home Politics Reading (the Constitution) Is Fundamental But saying it out loud is not the same as understanding it. And that includes accepting that the nation's founders knew the document's interpretation would change with the times. By: Sherrilyn A. Ifill Posted: Jan. 8 2011 10:38 PM 0 iStockphoto I started carrying around a pocket version of the U.S. Constitution in my purse in 1998 after I visited South Africa for the first time. It was only four years after the first full democratic election in that country. When the ANC was voted the ruling party in 1994 and Nelson Mandela was elected president, hundreds of thousands of black South Africans stood in lines extending for miles to exercise their franchise for the first time. Four years later, everyone -- from parliamentary officials to the woman selling tea at a makeshift kiosk in the townships outside Cape Town -- carried a small copy of the South African Constitution on their person. It was inspiring to see how engaged everyone was with the foundational document of their country. So, all things being equal, I have no objection to the leadership of the newly elected U.S. House of Representatives deciding to open the first session last week with a reading of the Constitution. It was also gratifying to see the reading turn into a bipartisan affair. Of course, as noted by Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the House didn't have the stomach to read the original Constitution along with its amendments. Thus the reading excluded some of the framers' greatest constitutional hits, including Article I, Section 2, the counting of slaves as "three fifths of all other Persons" for representation purposes. Nothing like reading an edited and sanitized version of the Constitution to demonstrate respect for it. But the deletion of the unpleasant parts of the Constitution is only one of the problems with the constitutional read-in that opened the new congressional session. Many of us hoped that members of Congress would have read the Constitution before they took the oath of office -- in fact, before they ran for office, so that they would be familiar with the structure of government they hoped to influence. But if Republican leaders who hatched this stunt believe that reading the Constitution aloud is the same thing as understanding it, then this new Congress is in for a bumpy year. It's important for our leaders to understand that a constitution differs from other sources of law. Unlike a statute or regulation, a constitution sets out the fundamental legal regime by which a nation is organized. Constitutions are meant to stand the test of time. It was Chief Justice John Marshall who reminded us in 1819 that our Constitution was "intended to endure for ages to come … and to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs." The framers understood this. They provided a means of amending the Constitution, but also drafted language that left enough room in the joints of our governing structure so that successive generations could ensure that our government could function. The perfect example is the Article I "necessary and proper clause," which gives Congress the authority to "make all laws which shall be necessary and proper" for executing the powers vested in the legislative branch by the Constitution. Determining when a law is "necessary and proper" to the execution of a constitutionally enumerated power cannot be determined simply by reading the words of Article I, Section 8, over and over. Likewise, determining the extent of Congress' power under the "commerce clause" to "regulate commerce … among the several states" has been subject to centuries of interpretation by the Supreme Court. Thursday's spoken-word performance has not revealed the parameter of Congress' power in this area. Behind the Republican leaders' constitutional posturing, of course, the stage is set for an effort to repeal the newly enacted health care law. Challenges to the constitutionality of the law in federal court have centered on the breadth of Congress' powers under Article I, Section 8. The new health care law seems to fall squarely within Congress' power under the commerce clause, which has been interpreted by the Supreme Court to authorize Congress to legislate in a variety of areas. As long as economic activity substantially affects interstate commerce, the court has been inclined to find that Congress may legislate in that area. For example, the Supreme Court ruled that Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which forbids hotel owners from denying services to clients based on race, is an exercise of Congress' commerce clause power, and ruled that the commerce clause permits Congress to regulate medical marijuana in the states. But Judge Henry E. Hudson, in Virginia v. Sebelius, offers a cramped analysis of the commerce clause that seems at odds with these cases. In striking down the health care law, Hudson concedes that Congress can regulate economic activity that affects interstate commerce. But, Hudson contends, Congress cannot regulate "inactivity." Thus, according to Hudson, Congress cannot regulate those who seek not to participate in the health care market by having insurance. Hudson's decision has been derided by many legal scholars, and conflicts with the decisions of other courts that have reviewed challenges to the health care law. (Hudson has also been criticized for his financial connection with an organization that provides services to a number of Republican elected officials -- including Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who filed the legal challenge to the health care law.) But simply reading the Constitution, without reference to the nearly 200 years of Supreme Court interpretation of its various provisions, doesn't help us understand the interplay between the commerce clause, the necessary and proper clause, and Congress' power to levy taxes. Nor will it bring the new Tea Party-spooked congressional Republicans any closer to completing the hard work of enacting legislation in a divided Congress.

Calcium is a mineral that is found naturally in foods. Calcium is necessary for many normal functions of the body, especially bone formation and maintenance. Calcium can also bind to other minerals (such as phosphate) and aid in their removal from the body.
Calcium carbonate is used to prevent and to treat calcium deficiencies.
Calcium carbonate may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Do not take calcium carbonate or antacids that contain calcium without first asking your doctor if you also take other medicines. Calcium can make it harder for your body to absorb certain medicines.
Calcium carbonate works best if you take it with food.
To make sure you can safely take calcium carbonate, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
a history of kidney stones; or
a parathyroid gland disorder.
Talk to your doctor before taking calcium carbonate if you are pregnant.
Talk to your doctor before taking calcium carbonate if you are breast-feeding a baby.

NORTH ADAMS -- Salary increases for nonunion employees and police dispatchers will be scrutinized by the city's Finance Committee following Tuesday's meeting of the City Council.
City Councilors voted to send the request for the salary increases and $5,000 annual stipends for the city's police and fire directors and the city's police lieutenant, to the Finance Committee for review. The committee will have until the council's Feb. 12 meeting to return a report.
Nonunion employees would receive a 1 percent raise effective Jan. 1 and a 1 percent raise retroactive to July 1, 2012. Police dispatchers would receive a 1 percent raise effective on Jan. 1 and a 1 percent raise retroactive to July 1, 2012, as well as an 8 percent "adjustment" effective on Jan. 1. Funding is available for the raises.
The request, submitted by Mayor Richard J. Alcombright, also includes the reclassification of the part-time clerical position in the Public Services department, adjusting the position's wage from $10.28 to $12.24 per hour.
"The increases for all nonunion staff members has already been included in the fiscal year 2013 departmental line-items," the mayor said. "All of the increases for the dispatchers will be funded through the city's Verizon 911 grant. That being said, our dispatchers remain the lowest paid, compared to their peers in neighboring communities. With this adjustment, it will bring them closer to the pay of their peers, but they are still 5 to 15 percent behind their peers."
He added that the stipends for the police lieutenant, along with the police and fire directors, is the result of the city's new public safety structure and the duties being taken on by those individuals.
"Since we have not changed the ordinance and are technically under the commissioner form of management, we need to put these changes in as stipends," he said. "When we rewrite and adopt the ordinance, these stipends will roll into their salaries."
Councilor John Barrett III voiced his concerns about the raises, stating that "several of the positions deserved raises" but he did not believe all of the raises were needed nor should they be "bunched" together in a single request.
"I think it's unconscionable for any city employee making over $60,000 to receive a raise," he said.
While he did not take issue with the stipends for the public safety officers, he did state that he could not justify a part-time clerk being reclassified to a wage that was higher than those of the city's reserve officers.
"Why is there no increase for our reserve officers?" Barrett questioned.
Alcombright said the reclassification for the part-time clerk was based on added responsibilities, including coverage of his office when his administrative assistant was on lunch break or out on vacation.
"I think we need to give raises equitably," Barrett said. "Is there additional money in the budget for this part-time clerical position? I didn't see it. ... This city cannot continue this course of spending, spending, spending. You can't raise a budget by $1 million a year and only raise revenues by $300,000 a year."
Councilor Alan Marden, chairman of the Finance Committee, suggested the council hold off on any approval of the raises until after Gov. Deval Patrick releases his fiscal 2014 budget.
In other business, the council re-elected Councilor Michael Bloom as its president for the year, with Barrett voting against his nomination. Councilor Nancy Bullett was absent. Councilor Lisa Blackmer was unanimously re-elected as the council's vice president.

While trying to make a bootable USB to reinstall Windows on my laptop... I accidentally formatted one of my disks.
Via Diskpart, i did:
Format FS=fat32 (the disk was NTFS)
and didn't realise it before it was through to 36%. Tried to cancel format via the Windows gui, but did not respond, so in the end I did a graceful shutdown of Windows
Now, the disk is marked as RAW. I've already started a scan using Easeus Data Recovery, but is 10% through the drive and still reporting nothing...
So, any other data recovery software worth exploring?
PS.... Always have coffee before touching the CLI
Boot from a Linux LiveCD and use PhotoRec.
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec DON'T MOUNT THE DRIVE AS READ/WRITE. You only want to touch it as read-only. |
Thanks for the suggestion.
I'll give it a shot if I don't manage to get anything with the soft I'm running now... |
Just restore from your backup. You do have a backup don't you?
Sorry, I had to say it. |
Did you use Windows Vista or 7 to format?
If so your stuffed. Windows vista & 7 format commands qrite zeros if "/quick" is not specified. I haven't been able to find out what format via diskpart does in this respect. clear doesn't exist. I assume you meant clean. Did you do "clean" or "clean all". If clean all, you're screwed. How long did it take to get to the 36%? if a very little time you should able to get your data back, if it took a long time, you're probably screwed. I suspect you're screwed. |
moullas wrote: Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a shot if I don't manage to get anything with the soft I'm running now... No, you do it right now. Windows is pretty retarded about mounting all drives as r/w without telling you. You really want a Linux Live CD so that your recovery software isn't overwriting the sectors that go deleted (i.e. doing more harm than good). |
@SnowGhost: Windows 7, Quick was not specified, and yes the command was Clean not Clear
@Ge0ph: Yes I did, and did it last month. First run didn't do anything, apparently formatting an NTFS volume over with FAT16 does wonders to the file table then I thought of something funny, and did a quick format using NTFS (couldn't hurt at this point). 3 hours later, after I finished running the data recovery wizard, a lot of files appeared. However, the file names / folder structure was forever lost. That would mean that if I needed (as in critically needed) something I'd have to open each and every file and categorize / rename. So... good thing I had a backup of my 50GB worth of photos, as for the other 900GB of movies & stuff, well it's off to bit heaven I guess.. thanks for the feedback people! |
Kernel for Windows Data Recovery is one such proficient tool that can help you restore the virus infected corrupted and formatted data from NTFS / FAT file system based windows operating system. In fact, with this utility it gets lot easier to recover data even from other storage media such as PEN drive etc. Moreover, other great facet about this tool is it also features an interactive GUI that further makes it user-friendly software.
