First Steps to Success
To succeed in this course, take the following first steps:
Study Tips
Consider the following study tips for success:
Students at Thomas Edison State College are expected to exhibit the highest level of academic citizenship. In particular, students are expected to read and follow all policies, procedures, and program information guidelines contained in publications; pursue their learning goals with honesty and integrity; demonstrate that they are progressing satisfactorily and in a timely fashion by meeting course deadlines and following outlined procedures; observe a code of mutual respect in dealing with mentors, staff, and other students; behave in a manner consistent with the standards and codes of the profession in which they are practicing; keep official records updated regarding changes in name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address; and meet financial obligations in a timely manner. Students not practicing good academic citizenship may be subject to disciplinary action including suspension, dismissal, or financial holds on records.
Academic Dishonesty
Thomas Edison State College expects all of its students to approach their education with academic integrity—the pursuit of scholarly activity free from fraud and deception. All mentors and administrative staff members at the College insist on strict standards of academic honesty in all courses. Academic dishonesty undermines this objective. Academic dishonesty can take the following forms:
Please refer to the Academic Code of Conduct Policy in the College Catalog and online at www.tesc.edu.
Using someone else's work as your own is plagiarism. Thomas Edison State College takes a strong stance against plagiarism, and students found to be plagiarizing will be severely penalized. If you copy phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or whole documents word-for-word—or if you paraphrase by changing a word here and there—without identifying the author, or without identifying it as a direct quote, then you are plagiarizing. Please keep in mind that this type of identification applies to Internet sources as well as to print-based sources. Copying and pasting from the Internet, without using quotation marks and without acknowledging sources, constitutes plagiarism. (For information about how to cite Internet sources, see Online Student Handbook > Academic Standards > "Citing Sources.")
Accidentally copying the words and ideas of another writer does not excuse the charge of plagiarism. It is easy to jot down notes and ideas from many sources and then write your own paper without knowing which words are your own and which are someone else's. It is more difficult to keep track of each and every source. However, the conscientious writer who wishes to avoid plagiarizing never fails to keep careful track of sources.
Always be aware that if you write without acknowledging the sources of your ideas, you run the risk of being charged with plagiarism.
Clearly, plagiarism, no matter the degree of intent to deceive, defeats the purpose of education. If you plagiarize deliberately, you are not educating yourself, and you are wasting your time on courses meant to improve your skills. If you plagiarize through carelessness, you are deceiving yourself.

Originality Report Checking at Turnitin
Disciplinary Process
First-time incidents of academic dishonesty concerning plagiarism may reflect ignorance of appropriate citation requirements. Mentors will make a good faith effort to address all first-time offenses that occur in courses. In these cases, the mentor may impose sanctions that serve as a learning exercise for the offender. These may include the completion of tutorials, assignment rewrites, or any other reasonable learning tool including a lower grade when appropriate. The mentor will notify the student by e-mail. Decisions about the sanctions applied for subsequent plagiarism offenses or other violations will be made by the appropriate dean's office, with the advice of the mentor or staff person who reported the violation. The student will be notified via certified mail of the decision. Options for sanctions include:

text: I was wondering if you eat something consisting of cannabis, if it will stay in your system as long, if at all... Because the reason it stays in your body for so long is because it has to attach to your fat cells to activate the THC, for its fat soluble. And the reason why you have to have butter, milk, or some other fatty substance in the food to activate the THC, is because it is fat soluble. So if you eat it, the THC is already activated in the fat in the food... thus it wouldn't need to stay in your fat. Although, the only thing I can think of that would mess this up, as long as I have my facts straight, is the fat from the food, becoming fat on your body... but that is where I am thinking that you may be able to work out and get it out of your body fast, plus if you have a fast metabolism not all the fat would store in your body, and you crap some of it out. A theory, is it true? Do I have my facts straight?

Atlanta City Council Passes Outdoor Smoking Ban
July 17, 2012 9:03 AM
Jean Ross
WAOK News Director Email JeanRead More
ATLANTA (AP/WAOK) — The Atlanta City Council has voted to ban smoking in city parks.
Those caught smoking in parks could be fined up to $1,000 and sentenced to six months in jail or community service.
A city attorney said violations would not go on a person's criminal record.
Councilman Howard Shook of Buckhead cast the only "no" vote. He said he felt Atlanta police had plenty to do without having to enforce a ban on a legal substance.
Public health advocates, high school students and business owners spoke to the council in favor of the ban.

Bob Tippee
OGJ Editor
Because antidevelopment environmentalists know how to manipulate fear, advocates of oil and gas development need to know how to combat it.
Fear and its environmentalist promoters are impeding development of the huge Marcellus shale gas resource in New York and Pennsylvania.
Opponents to drilling have raised fear about hydraulic fracturing, the technique that has been used safely and often since the 1940s, modern refinements to which make shale development possible.
But use of hydraulic fracing is new to parts of Pennsylvania and New York, and drilling opponents say it threatens subsurface drinking-water supplies.
Gas operators and industry associations have made commendable efforts to educate the wary public, pointing out how technology and geology make fracing safe.
Yet fear persists. Education isn't enough.
New York state regulators have proposed rules that Chesapeake Energy Corp. says will discourage Marcellus shale drilling (OGJ Online, Jan. 14, 2010). And Exco Resources Inc.—although still actively drilling in the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania—was under pressure from a zoning issue trumped up by environmental opposition (OGJ Online, Jan. 15, 2010).
Fear thus imperils development of a resource that some say represents 500 tcf of recoverable gas—and all the economic goodness that comes with it.
When education fails, what's left? Drama. That's what.
Fear gripped California in 1981 when an infestation of the Mediterranean fruit fly—the medfly—threatened agriculture.
After other eradication efforts failed, then-Gov. Jerry Brown ordered aerial spraying of the insecticide Malathion over an area that included Palo Alto, Los Altos, and Mountain View.
In the uproar that followed, with environmentalists threatening to shoot helicopters spraying the chemical, officials began a massive educational campaign about Malathion's safety.
In the middle of it all, Brown's chief of staff, Republican Brien Thomas Collins, a wounded Vietnam War veteran, held a news conference during which he drank a beaker of Malathion to assure reporters they'd be safe covering the story up close.
The Malathion assault proceeded, stopped the medfly infestation, and created no health crisis. Collins died on Mar. 19, 1993, of a heart attack.
That's drama. That's education. Anyone for a glass of frac fluid?

AZ women charged in fake coupon ring enter pleas
Web Producer: Ina Ronquillo
PHOENIX (AP) - Three women charged in an investigation into a fake coupon ring have pleaded not guilty.
Marilyn Johnson, Robin Ramirez and Amiko Fountain entered their pleas Wednesday in Maricopa County Superior Court.
They each face felony charges of illegal control of an enterprise, forgery, counterfeit marking and engaging in a fraudulent scheme.
Authorities say they have seized more than $25 million worth of fake coupons and $2 million in other assets from the women's Phoenix-area homes.
Police say Ramirez bought counterfeit manufacturer coupons overseas and sold them online. Fountain and Johnson are suspected of helping operate the site and shipping the coupons.
People who purchased the coupons could use them for items from major national manufacturers and could get cash back if the value of the coupon exceeded the item's price.

I work in a cool office (62-65F) so a heavy long sheeve shirt taht looks good is in order. I did not give it a five star rating because it states that it is reversible but you will need to cut off some care tags on the inside so it does not look like you are wearing the shirt inside out.

This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend is not known, but the population is not believed to be decreasing sufficiently rapidly to approach the thresholds under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size may be moderately small to large, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.

I'm not sure if we will ever be able to beat them.
I would rather play the Celtics, Heat, Lakers, or Spurs, instead of playing the Caveliers.
They make us look slow, stupid, and fat. They out-hustle us, they out-assisted us, and they out-scored us.
On a night when the Knicks shot 44.4% from three, the Cavs shot 57.1% from three.
It is frustrating watching the Knicks blow a 12 point fourth quarter lead, but to be honest, even if we were up by 30 with 2 minutes left in a game against the Cavs, I would put money against us. We just cannot beat them.
Now that I got that little rant out of the way, here is the post-game recap:
After a pretty good Florida trip the Knicks returned home to face the Cavs. About a week and a half ago the Knicks lost to the Cavs in Cleveland so tonight they were trying to get even.
The Knicks came out VERY sharp. They hit 8 of their first 9 shots, including 2 three pointers. Midway through the 1st the Knicks led 22-10.
In Baron Davis' first game as a Cavelier, he burned the Knicks. To end the first quarter he hit two three points and setup two three pointers.
The game stayed close right up until the end.
Knicks found themselves down by 4 with 10 seconds left. Amare Stoudemire nailed a three-pointer within two seconds of receiving the inbound. After that the Knicks were able to foul Sessions with less the .5 seconds coming off of the clock. Sessions missed the first, but made the second.
Now here's where it got a little shady.
I am not sure what Mike D'Antoni was thinking when he drew up the play. The Knicks inbounded it to Melo at the free-throw line. He was in a very congested area and was lucky to even maintain possession of the ball. He drove to the hoop and defenders left an open alley. Then, out of nowhere, Samuel steps in and takes a charge.
Then the game was over.
I'm not sure what was more anti-climatic: the Knicks game, or this description of the final seconds.
Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire combined for 70 points. Yes, you read that correctly, 70.
STAT had 41 points and 9 rebounds, while MELO had 29 points and 5 rebounds.
This was a very disappointing loss but they need to put this behind them and focus on the rest of the season. The Knicks are 3-3 with Melo on the team. In the four games Billups has played, the team is 3-1.
It will take time for this team to mesh. They need to find a rhythm on the defensive end if they want to compete against good team.
Right now, they have no answer for the pick-and-roll. However, everything about this team will improve.
Do not worry if the Knicks don't finish the season as the six seed, just hope that they make the playoffs.
With the talent on this team they can make some noise against anyone. It is not important that they match up against the three seed, rather, it is important that they have experience playing together and that they are confident in the team moving into the playoffs.
I still believe in this team!
Go Knicks!

A scrappy Traverse City West team forced a 24-24 tie in Game 1; had a 23-22 lead in Game 2; and was within a point at 23-22 in Game 3; but saw the Bucs score the deciding points in each instance.
"They'd close up on us every time, but we played within ourselves and we stayed relaxed," said Grand Haven coach Katy Walters. "Nobody wants to go home at this point and every team at this point is talented. You have to earn every single point."
Grand Haven was fine when it played sound defense and passed well to sophomore setter Jami Hogeboom, allowing her to provide quality sets to Haven's big hitters, namely 6-foot, 5-inch junior Abby Cole.
Cole had eight of her team-high 19 kills in the opening game, but when she was subbed out for defensive purposes with the Bucs ahead at 19-14, the lead quickly evaporated. The Titans, who featured an undersized but very balanced offensive attack, surged back to close within 21-20, then tied it up with game-point looming.
But the Bucs sided out with the game tied at 24 with a big kill by Cole, then won it with another kill by Newhouse.
"We didn't know what to expect out of them, and they did a lot more tips and roll shots than we expected," Grand Haven senior outside hitter Megan Newhouse said. "We played them earlier this year, but we didn't play well, so we tried to forget everything about it."
Newhouse provided a spark for the Bucs, not only with big hits from the outside, but also with her hustle defense. Late in the third game, she crashed into the side support of the net with her leg while diving for a dig but got back up without incident.
"It happens," she said. "I'm used to it by now."
"It feels good to be a part of everything on the court," she added. "To be able to get (the game-winning kills), sometimes it just happens."
"Megan is super athletic, she's fast and one of our most experienced players," said Walters. "She goes hard for every ball out there. She's a great leader and she had a big night tonight. The team is happy to see her do that, and it's huge for her."
Grand Haven trailed most of Game 2, until the Bucs received a spark by an ace from senior Kristen Reenders. They reeled off three of the next four critical points to gain an edge, and then Newhouse came up big again when it mattered most, turning in back-to-back kills to close out the game.
One of Cole's team-high nine blocks gave the Bucs a 17-13 lead in the deciding third game, forcing the Titans to burn a timeout. They had one last rally in them, however, closing to within one point at 22-21 on a Bucs' digging error.
But Traverse City West got a bad break when its high return hit the divider on the ceiling above Jenison's volleyball court and the Titans couldn't return the ball, giving the Bucs a 23-21 lead. That was fuel to the fire for the Bucs and Cole, as she polished off the victory with two big kills to keep her team alive in the tournament.
Hogeboom tallied 33 assists for the Bucs, while Reenders and Newhouse had 17 and 13 digs, respectively. Five-foot junior Alexandra Johnson also came up big with three aces.
With Thursday's opponent in Rockford, Walters said her team had success against the Rams in an early-season tournament, but fell flat in a sweep during a conference matchup on Oct. 20.
"We feel we match-up better against Rockford because we're similar in a lot of ways," she said. "We both have big middles and a lot of weapons around the court. We beat them earlier because we were able to serve tough, which took them out of their offensive flow. We need to do that and pass the ball well if we want to stay alive."

It really is a good park to visit if you like green outdoor spaces. I rated other nearby parks in this article: www.weekendnotes.co.uk/parks-and-green-spaces-in-richmond/
Beautiful Clapham Common is South London's 2nd largest Common after Wimbledon Common and one of the city's largest open spaces. Excellent for lazy summer days, picnics and dog walking and lots of fun areas for children. The ponds and lake have been revamped for wild life and its bandstand is one of the oldest in the UK. There are festivals on the Common all through the summer including London Calling and SW Four in June and August respectively. The Common can be accessed from the Tube on the Northern Line at Clapham Common or at Clapham South. There are pubs, bars and restaurants aplenty in Clapham itself however the Windmill quite sensibly is the only pub on the Common. Clapham was the original Ground Zero or epicentre of South London's gentrification but has matured of late as property prices have gone through the roof and made it a less affordable place to live for young professionals and graduates who have found succor in nearby Brixton and Peckham, Nevertheless Clapham Common is still a magnet for young sun worshippers and fitness fanatics from far and wide.

Update: One thing I forgot to mention. If you didn't want to read all this or if you disagree altogether. Ask yourself: you don't want due dates. So are you willing to give up your salary due date as well? Why can't you estimate what to deliver and your client has to pay you regardless? Let's make this even: you do #noEstimates if, and only if, you are willing to #noSalary. Your employer shaw withhold your payment until you deliver, and in this scenario your payment must be depreciated the longer it takes. Unfortunately labor law doesn't allow that. But it would be an interesting scenario.
There's been a lot of people currently talking about #noEstimates. I've read most of the arguments in its favor and you can Google it easily enough so I won't make any extensive references to any of them. The gist of it is that estimates will never be good enough, the more specification and planning you do seems to never increase the quality of the estimates, specially because in a dynamic market specification change too often and the more estimation efforts you do, the more the waste. And because estimates seems to be such a waste why not get rid of them altogether?
Feels like a noble idea, specially for software developers. Software is maleable, it's abstract, it just feels like it doesn't fit traditional notions of project management. And while we are at it, why not get rid of the entire notion of projects as well? And hence, another trend just emerged: the #noProjects.
My intention here is not to answer each of their arguments, that's not the point. What I will do is explain why the entire idea is absurd in the first place. So let's get to the basics first.

Ways to Use Plyboo
Strand bamboo is not cut into strips and laminated like edge grain and flat grain bamboo flooring. Instead, it's shredded, crushed, and mixed with a liquid adhesive. Under heat and high pressure, the mixture is cooked and compressed into lumber that is ultimately milled into flooring.
The result is one of our toughest floors yet, three times harder than red oak and perfect for busy commercial locations.
Plyboo manufactures a variety of bamboo flooring, plywood and paneling, but when it comes right down to it, what we offer are versions of flat grain, edge grain and strand bamboo.
We'll get to strand in another article, but for now let's differentiate between flat grain and edge grain bamboo.
Cut into the opposing side of the coconut palm tree, equal distances apart and wooded over, the wedges almost look natural. But they aren't natural. They are footholds carved into the tree, allowing harvesters to more easily climb the tree and harvest the coconuts.
"If you're looking for lumber, you hate to see steps chopped into the tree trunk. It make the wood less valuable, but you have to understand that the primary mission of these trees is to produce coconuts," Said Angus Stocks, president of Smith & Fong Plyboo, a San Francisco Company that makes flooring and plywood out of over-aged coconut palms.

Clear Advantages of Radial-First Catheterization, Including Improved Recovery Experience
Late in 2010, the Ross Heart Hospital interventional cardiology group at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center took the leap and became a radial-first catheterization practice.
"We're a unified group of interventional cardiologists with similar practice patterns," says Vincent Pompili, MD, Director, Interventional Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories. "We reviewed data from across the country and our own institution, agreed this change was best for patients, then committed to the new direction, with transradial catheterization as our first choice for patients having cardiac catheterization or intervention at Ohio State's Heart and Vascular Center."
The data is related primarily to bleeding rates and access site complications. Since introducing transradial catheterization, the practice has recorded a steady decrease in bleeding rates and access-site complications from catheterization. Today, with approximately 60 percent of the practice's catheterization patients undergoing a transradial approach, these complications are significantly lower than the national average.
"Patient safety is a key driver of practice modification," says Pompili. "The first quarter after the switch to a radial-first practice, bleeding complications and access-site complications decreased by 60 percent."
Another important aspect of the data relates to cardiac outcomes. According to Quinn Capers IV, MD, Director of Peripheral Vascular Interventions, patients who have major bleeding from the femoral artery and require transfusion after catheterization are at increased risk for adverse cardiac events, including death for up to 12 months afterward.
"Transradial catheterization has reduced complications (access site and bleeding) at our institution, so it was an obvious and unanimous decision to change the practice," says Capers.
While some patients are not candidates for transradial catheterization due to their anatomy, the practice anticipates the percentage of patients catheterized transradially could reach 75 percent.
"We look at all options for patients, consider their unique situations and identify any reasons to exclude transradial," says interventional cardiologist Charlie Bush, MD, associate medical director of the Ross Heart Hospital. "The advantages are that significant. Pompili anticipates transradial catheterization will be gradually adopted as the norm around the country.
"We do not take advantage of all of the benefits of transradial catheterization if we do not also modify the recovery process," says Pompili.
Patients undergoing transradial catheterization present a unique opportunity to optimize the recovery experience. Toward that end, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center opened a new Radial Lounge in September 2012.
Previously at Ohio State, all catheterization patients recovered in the same 23-bed invasive prep and recovery unit. Now, during catheterization procedures, the charge nurse is alerted when patients do not need stenting and are good candidates for recovery in the Radial Lounge.
These patients are transported via wheelchair to the Radial Lounge, where their IVs are removed. They can change into their clothes and spend the next two hours recovering comfortably in a recliner. The lounge has seven recliners for patients, couches for family members, and iPads. Patients wear an inflatable wristband that applies light pressure to the area of access and are monitored with wireless telemetry, allowing them freedom to walk around, eat and visit. Dedicated nurses, experienced in the care and recovery of post-transradial catheterization/PCI population, observe patients until they are ready to go home.
The Radial Lounge was designed with an adjacent consultation room for patients and their family members to discuss the procedure and view images with the physicians.
"Patients get one-on-one time with the cardiologist in a comfortable, private setting, which helps to increase the personalized feeling," says Amanda Parkinson, Amanda Parkinson, RN, BSN, Nurse Manager of Invasive Prep and Recovery. "This wasn't possible for transradial patients in our invasive prep and recovery unit because they have to lie down and are connected to monitoring equipment. The set-up in the Radial Lounge promotes mobility and supports positive changes in post-procedure protocols."
"A significant benefit of transradial catheterization is faster, more comfortable recovery," says Ernest Mazzaferri Jr, MD, interventional cardiologist and medical director of Ohio State's Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital. He says the Radial Lounge improves the patient experience, eases the transition to discharge and provides the appropriate level of care to each patient.
Not having to lie down for hours after catheterization is especially good news for patients who have chronic pain, such as degenerative disk disease; who have had back or knee surgery; or who have a respiratory complication, such as congestive heart failure, COPD or emphysema.
"Patients who can sit up without compromising their safety during recovery need not be made uncomfortable by lying still for four to six hours," says Marti Taylor, executive director, Ohio State's Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital. "In addition to decreased complications and increased patient satisfaction, we consider efficiency of care. Clearly, moving patients who are ambulatory away from traditional recovery areas and toward discharge more quickly is a good thing. And hospital beds are freed up for patients who truly need them. By modifying our post-procedural care and pulling out these patients from the traditional recovery space, we have altered the way we've done something for two or three decades. It's exciting to be a part of this progress."
"Patients have great interest in advances such as this. Those who have had both types of catheterization like being able to get up and use the bathroom and have a snack. They much prefer the more active recovery to lying flat for hours with pressure on their groin."
Parkinson emphasizes the emotional benefits of transradial catheterization and the new approach to recovery at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
"Patients may heal faster when they are comfortable and feel a sense of control over their situation," says Parkinson. "With transfemoral catheterization, some patients are stressed by having their modesty compromised regularly while they lie still, without any options. Their stress is compounded when they need to use the bathroom during that time. We must consider the entire patient experience,⎯not just the physical, but also the emotional. In the new Radial Lounge, patients can have two to four family members with them, which helps everyone involved feel like part of the recovery process."
"It's no longer one-size-fits-all recovery. All eyes are on the Radial Lounge as other areas in the hospital consider the benefits from nontraditional recovery areas. As health care evolves, we focus increasingly on improving the patient experience."
This focus includes training the next generation of cardiologists.
"We're training and retraining our physicians and fellows in transradial catheterization because we think it's the future of cardiac catheterization, with significant benefits for patients and hospitals alike," says Mazzaferri.
An anatomy lab in The Ohio State University College of Medicine has become a simulation center for in-depth radial artery and wrist anatomy education.
"Approximately 95 percent of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in the United States are done via transfemoral approach because of physician inertia," says Capers. "Cardiologists learned how to perform the procedure through the groin and do it very quickly. Switching to the radial artery requires additional effort, initially makes procedures longer and, therefore, can be frustrating. It's common for cardiologists to try transradial once, determine that it is an unnecessary hassle and resume transfemoral. We have taken a strong intgerest in transradial training so that future cardiologists graduating from OSU will be experts in this approach."
The interventional cardiology team at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is parlaying this change into other aspects of its practice, including allowing low-risk PCI patients who live locally to have same-day discharge. "We've discharged 15 patients on the same day as their transradial PCI. The results have been excellent with no complications and no readmissions," says Capers. "There are significant cost-savings to the hospital and to the patient."
Preliminary data will be presented later this year at the American Heart Association meeting, demonstrating that the total cost to the hospital and the patient is reduced by approximately 40 percent when PCI patients are discharged on the same day of the procedure.
"The primary reason these patients had to spend the night was to monitor for risk of bleeding from the femoral artery," says Pompili. "When we reduce the risk of bleeding and access-site complications with a transradial approach, PCI patients recover in the Radial Lounge, return home the same day and return the next day for a checkup. Nationwide, fewer than 1 percent of PCI patients are discharged home the same day. Across the board, health care is driving toward less invasive procedures that increase patient safety." Now, the practice is leveraging its proficiency in elective transradial catheterization cases with emergency cases.
"We are researching using transradial catheterization and PCI in critically ill, STEMI patients," says Capers. "Currently, only about 30-40 percent of STEMI cases at Ohio State are performed via the transradial approach. The benefits to this patient population could be significant because they are at such high risk for bleeding. Because the transradial approach can take a little longer, many physicians say it should not be used with heart attack patients. But we are using a special protocol to keep down the time in the cath lab and we are seeing exciting results. Of course, we will continue using transradial with stable elective patients. Time will tell if it becomes the future direction for unstable sicker patients. The potential benefits make it well worth exploring."
As other interventional cardiology practices consider adopting transradial catheterization to improve patient safety and satisfaction, Pompili cautions that a learning curve exists. But, he emphasizes, transradial may not take longer to perform once physicians develop proficiency and have 50 to 100 cases under their belt.
"Your practice behavior can increase the level of safety for patients," says Pompili. "The drop in bleeding complications can be drastic, making adapting to change well worthwhile."
The team at Ohio State's Medical Center has logged about 2,000 transradial cases to date, with some of the cases related to the SAFE-PCI trial, sponsored by Duke University. The trial aims to compare the efficacy and feasibility of the transradial approach to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in women compared with the transfemoral approach. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is one of the top enrollers of patients in the trial, which commenced in August 2011 and involves approximately 35 centers in the United States.

Read: The Role Marty Biron Has In Tomorrow
Marty Biron finished this season 12-6-2 with two shutouts.
John Tortorella said recently that the value of having Marty Biron not only gave Henrik Lundqvist some rest, but was able to give the Rangers their home ice advantage, "the reason we got to play a game seven in our building was because of Marty Biron. Marty understands his role on this team, was able to give Hank rest and most importantly he won. We aren't looking for a guy to just spell Hank and we need a goalie to win, and it was huge for us."
The Wall Street Journal has more on Biron.
Biron is a UFA at the end of the season.

The Philadelphia Flyers have signed defenseman Braydon Coburn.
A restricted free agent, Coburn has signed a two-year, $6.4 million deal.
The 25-year-old Coburn had 19 points in 81 games last season, and played a key role on the team's power-play and penalty-killing units, mostly playing alongside Kimmo Timonen.
Re-signing Coburn, as well as their trade for Tampa Bay blueliner Andrej Meszaros, bolsters a blue line that already includes Chris Pronger, Timonen and Matt Carle and propelled them to the Stanley Cup Final.
It also will make the job of whoever ends up in the Flyers' net far easier. The team re-signed Michael Leighton, last season's starter, to a two-year contract Wednesday, keeping him off the open market, but they also reportedly are looking at other goaltenders. They had received permission earlier in the week to speak with Evgeni Nabokov and Marty Turco, and could still be looking at other options.
They already have last year's backup, Brian Boucher, signed for another season, and also inked Johan Backlund, their third goalie in the playoffs, to a new two-year deal a week after the season ended.

CBS's Gregg Doyel On Tebow Speaking At Controversial Dallas Church

DALLAS (105.3 THE FAN) – CBS Sports columnist Gregg Doyel defended his latest column "Agreeing to speak at intolerant church is Tebow's greatest sin" with New School on 105.3 The Fan.
The NFL quarterback is scheduled to speak at the First Baptist Dallas megachurch on Sunday April 28th.
Doyal writes 'Tim Tebow is about to make the biggest mistake of his life. Tebow has agreed to speak at a hateful Baptist preacher's church, an evangelical cretin named Robert Jeffress who does the work of the Lord sort of like Westboro Baptist in Topeka, Kan., does the work of the Lord.'

Baltimore, 1849. Murders inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe baffle the authorities, so police detective Emmett Fields (Evans) consults Poe (Cusack) himself. Emily Hamilton (Eve), Poe's girlfriend, is abducted and buried alive, and the killer challenges Poe to solve clues left on corpses to find her before the air runs out.
Besides being an author, Edgar Allan Poe was one of the most vicious, merciless critics of his age. He would not have let this get past him without skewering its shortcomings with a barbed quill.

cxpartners' expert reviews (sometimes referred to as usability reviews) are carried out by our team. We have conducted hundreds of usability tests and have practical knowledge in designing usable and accessible websites.
We also have sound theoretical knowledge gained through relevant MScs and PhDs (for example in Human Computer Interaction).
This means that when we're analysing a site we are drawing from a broad knowledge base of academic and applied research rather than subjective opinion.
Our usability reviews are formatted in a document that identifies both user experience problems and potential solutions. We use a severity scale to grade each of the issues we identify; this helps your team prioritise areas of your site that need to be updated.
cxpartners is able to conduct usability reviews on live sites, prototypes and designs, meaning you can run one at almost any stage during a project. This approach enables us to integrate with your team's needs and tailor the usability review to the areas they need most support with.
Communicating The User Experience is a wonderful new book by cxpartners' Richard Caddick and Steve Cable, available now.
We have put together a collection of essential Keynote, Omnigraffle and PowerPoint stencils in our Resources section for the UX professionals and enthusiasts out there

|Recommended for :
|Good Beer, Historic pub
|Publish date :
|July 24, 2014
|44 Tabard Street, Southwark, London, SE1 4JU, United Kingdom
|Phone No
|Open all day, real ales, Real fire
It seems that time has stood still at Harvey's Royal Oak, the Sussex brewer's lone foray into 'The Smoke'; their range of gorgeous ales a treat for Londoners. This classic two roomed pub has a Public and Lounge bar, separated by a former off-sales counter, once commonplace in Victorian urban pubs. The atmosphere is of a friendly local.
It attracts a healthy mix of clientèle. On a typical evening, beer-bellied real ale enthusiasts sip their pints, whilst a group of students engage in lively conversation. A family, seated in the lounge bar, tuck enthusiastically into some traditional pub food, alongside a couple of suited office workers. The hubbub is the song of happy customers.
The food here is good too; wholesome British dishes such as Lamb Shank, Steak and Ale Pie or Liver and Onions, are served in generous portions. If traditional pubs and excellent ales are your thing, then you won't be disappointed.

...a gloomy and profound chasm in the forest
All Titles
- ...a gloomy and profound chasm in the forest
Dublin Core
This image of The Pool was taken for the MWM by Lauren Plummer. The contemporary image was put into historical context by MWM scholar, Dr. Marcia Schmidt Blaine, using Moses F. Sweetser's 1876The White Mountains: A Handbook for Travellers.
Nineteenth-century guidebooks provided quite different information from today's tourist information. Seldom did the books provided directions to a site since it was expected that tourists would hire guides. The earliest ones included literary references for each site; all nineteenth-century guidebooks presented long, vivid descriptions, even as author John Spaulding noted that "words cannot describe faithfully the magnificent scenery" of the White Mountains.
The Pool:
"The Pool is a gloomy and profound chasm in the forest, where the Pemigewasset River falls into a deep black basin surrounded by high cliffs. It is reached by a pleasant forest path ½-3/4 M. long, entering the woods opposite the Flume House."
