1) What types of licensed practical nursing programs and degrees are available?
LPN – Licensed Practical Nurse Degree: A one-year training program that trains students to work as a nurse in doctor's offices, hospitals, home health caretakers and nursing care centers. Practical nurses care for patients and perform basic nursing tasks.
LVN – Licensed Vocational Nurse Degree: A licensed vocational nurse is the same as a licensed practical nurse. Some states call practical nurses vocational nurses instead.
2) What are the degree or experience requirements to be a licensed practical nurse?
Students must have a high school diploma or GED to be admitted into most practical nursing programs.
Most training programs take one year to complete. Practical nursing training can be online or in a traditional classroom setting at many community colleges and online universities.
There are more training programs that bridge into a higher degree and career placements for students who want to start as an LPN, or LVN, and advance to become registered nurses or nurse practitioners.
All states and the District of Columbia require LPNs and LVNs to pass the National Council of State Boards of Nursing's licensing examination, NCLEX-PN, after completing a state-approved, accredited practical nursing program.
3) Things to consider when choosing an online practical nursing program.
First only consider schools with professional, nationally-recognized accreditations.
What is the best way for you to attend school? Do you have the discipline to do attend your online class and take the tests each week or so? If not, you may want to try a traditional classroom setting. If you can work independently, begin your licensed vocational nursing online degree program search.
You'll need to fill out a FAFSA, Free Application for Federal Student Aid, to receive any grants from the federal government and your school. So get your tax things together and send the form in as soon as possible. Be sure to check for early-priority dates and deadlines.
Choose the program that you feel most comfortable with, provided you get accepted to several schools. Also evaluate tuition costs and scholarship and grant offerings.
Different states set different requirements for practicing nurses. Check your local laws to see the state requirements to practice nursing.
4) What schools offer licensed practical nursing degrees?
Chamberlain College of Nursing – The Chamberlain College of Nursing offers a licensed practical nursing to registered nursing (LPN to RN) bridge program completely online as well as on campus in Columbus, Ohio. According to the college, more than 80% of all students attending Chamberlain College of Nursing receive some form of financial assistance.
Indiana State College – Indiana State College's Department of Nursing offers an online bachelor's degree in nursing track for licensed practical nurses (LPN-BS) and a track for registered nurses (RN-BS) to complete their Bachelor of Science degree in nursing.
Virginia College – Virginia College offers traditional classroom practical nursing training diploma programs in Jacksonville, Mississippi and Pensacola, Florida. Virginia College is a private institution, and financial planning for college is available.
Concorde Career Colleges – Concorde Career Colleges offer practical nursing programs in Aurora, Colorado; Jacksonville, Florida; Kansas City, Missouri and Portland, Oregon. Concorde Colleges offer hands-on training for practical nurses for one year.
5) What salary and careers are available to students with a licensed practical nursing degree?
The Occupational Outlook Handbook by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that employment of LVNs or LPNs is expected to grow 14 percent between 2006 and 2016, or faster than average.

Here are a few notes and news bits we'd like you to know about:
On Saturday, February 9, REEF hosted the first annual For the Love of the Sea benefit dinner and auction at Amy Slate's Amoray Dive Resort in Key Largo, Florida. The event was a huge success! More than 150 guests attended a sold-out event, enjoying a picturesque sunset set to island music and the awe-inspriring underwater photography of authors and REEF founders, Paul Humann and Ned DeLoach. REEF raised more than $25,000 thanks to successful silent and live auctions and the generosity of event sponsors in the Keys and greater REEF community. Proceeds of the event will support ongoing citizen science projects to engage volunteers in marine conservation.
Many thanks to event sponsors for their support and to the local REEF "Fun Raisers" event planning committee. Please click here for more information on the event.
The recent invasion of Indo-Pacific lionfish into Atlantic waters has been causing great concern among researchers, marine park and fisheries managers, and divers. REEF, in partnership with Bahamian dive operators Stuart Cove and Bruce Purdy, NOAA, the United States Geological Service (USGS), the National Aquarium in Washington DC, the Bahamian Government and university groups, has spearheaded the field research for this rapidly expanding problem. As part of REEF's Lionfish Research Program, over the last two years REEF has coordinated 12 research projects that have involved over 175 REEF volunteers. This research has generated a wealth of in-situ observations and over 1,000 lionfish specimens, which have led to great advances in the understanding of the biology and potential impacts of this most unwanted invader.
REEF's most recent field project at Stuart Cove's Dive Bahamas in May 2008, involving over 20 volunteers and researchers, found that the problem continues to get worse. The team gathered data on nearly 200 specimens of lionfish to determine relative abundance, size increases, reproductive status, growth rates, predator prey relationships and movement. Findings included:
Lionfish continue to grow in size: Tagging data show growth rates exceeding 190mm/year, far larger than necessary to reach sexual maturity.
Site Fidelity: All 12 previously-tagged specimens that have been recaptured indicate strong site fidelity even after 6 months.
Prey: Lionfish continue to amaze us during stomach content studies. The recent effort turned up new records including two entire spotted goatfish, a large brown chromis, a small reef octopus, and even a small mollusk in its shell. Lionfishare eating nearly anything that will fit into their mouths.
Reproduction: Lionfish reproduction occurs throughout the year – many gravid females and a small recently settled juveniles have been found.
REEF's future fieldwork will concentrate on lionfish movement, trap design, habitat preference, and local control measures. Our next project is scheduled to take place at Stuart Cove's Dive Bahamas in Nassau from September 14-20. If you would like to help with our ongoing work please consider joining us as a field volunteer and/or making a contribution to REEF's Exotic Species Program.
For more information on REEF's Exotic Species Program, to volunteer on a future research project or to discuss funding opportunities, contact REEF Director of Special Projects, Lad Akins, firstname.lastname@example.com.
The USS Hoyt Vandenberg is the most recent ship to be placed as an artificial reef in the waters off Key West, Florida. The ship was sunk on May 27, 2009, but three weeks prior to the sinking the REEF team was in action conducting surveys of the sinking site and 7 other adjacent sites for comparison. The data will be used by the State of Florida to document fish recruitment onto the wreck and response of nearby reef sites to the new structure. In addition to regular REEF fish surveys, the team is also gathering important fish biomass data at two sites and recording any observations of non-native titan acorn barnacles, orange cup corals or non-native fish including lionfish.
The pre-deployment surveys at the sinking site did not document any fish present at the sandy bottom site though one barracuda was seen swimming through the area shortly after. Combined data from the 7 reference sites documented 159 species including rare sightings of pugjaw wormfish and cherubfish (rare for the Keys). The summary of data can be found here.
REEF will continue regular monitoring of the Vandenberg and reference sites through next summer, with a final report due by the end of 2010. A huge thank you to all of the REEF experts joining in on the effort including Rob McCall, Tracy Harris, Dave Grenda, Brenda Hitt, Jamie Giganti, Lisa Canty and Pat Zuloaga.
Earlier this month, on World Oceans Day, we kicked off REEF's Summer Fundraising Campaign with a goal of raising $60,000 by July 31. Thanks to the Curtis and Edith Munson Foundation, who has generously offered to match your donations, we are over one-third of the way to our goal with $10,345 donated and matched so far. To all of our members who have already donated, we extend our sincere gratitude. If you haven't yet had a chance, please contribute today. You can double your donation in the upcoming month by contributing online, https://www.REEF.org/contribute, through our secure web form. Or you can print the donation form and mail or fax your donation, or call our staff at REEF headquarters (305-852-0030).
Your donation will help support REEF services, which are increasingly in high demand. As the lionfish invasion continues to grow, so does our research and response. Legislation to ensure long-term protections of Nassau Grouper spawning aggregations are set to expire in 2011. And after the devastation in the Gulf, REEF's Volunteer Fish Survey Program data can be invaluable in evaluating the impact of the oil spill to fish populations. Twenty years of support from members like you has made it possible for REEF to build and maintain this valuable history of fish populations throughout our program regions. We could not do this vitally important work without you. We are doubling our efforts now, and we hope you will double your contribution this summer.
World-wide declines in shark and ray populations have prompted the need for a better understanding of their patterns of distribution and abundance. While much of the focus has been on the larger species of sharks, little attention had been paid to the most frequently sighted elasmobranch species in the greater-Caribbean, the yellow stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis). Despite being relatively common and listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, little was known about the status of this species. Unfortunately, it has been quietly declining. Dr. Christine Ward-Paige and her colleagues at Dalhousie University worked with REEF's Director of Science, Dr. Christy Pattengill-Semmens, to examine the status of yellow stingray. The results of this study were recently published in the scientific journal, Environmental Biology of Fishes. Click here to read the paper.
The study used 83,940 surveys collected by REEF surveyors in the western Atlantic. In total, yellow stingrays were observed on 5,658 surveys (6.7% sighting frequency) with the highest occurrence in the regions surrounding Cuba. Overall, sighting frequency declined from 20.5% in 1994 to 4.7% in 2007. However, these trends were not consistent in all regions. The strongest decline occurred in the Florida Keys, the most sampled region, where trends were similar among all areas, habitats and depths. Possible explanations for these changes include habitat degradation, exploitation (this species is collected for medical research and the aquarium trade), and changes in trophic interactions. The results of the study suggest large-scale changes in yellow stingray abundance that have been unnoticed by the scientific community. This study also highlights the value of non-scientific divers for collecting data that can be used to understand population trends of otherwise poorly studied species.
To see this and other scientific papers that have been published using REEF data, check out the Publications page on the REEF.org website here.
Changing Seas, an original production of Miami's public television station WPBT2, will host a live online screening event of Alien Invaders, the series' latest episode focusing on the lionfish invasion in the Caribbean and Western Atlantic. Alien Invaders will be screened live on the Changing Seas website (www.changingseas.tv/webcast) on Thursday, June 2nd at 7:30 p.m. EST. During the screening, dive enthusiasts will have the opportunity to join an online chat with producers and the experts featured in the program. REEF's Lad Akins and researcher Stephanie Green will be be online to answer questions live during the event.
REEF members are at the heart of our grassroots marine conservation programs. Over 43,000 divers, snorkelers, students, and armchair naturalists stand behind our mission.
This month we feature Patricia Broom (REEF member since 2004). Pat is a member of REEF's Advanced Assessment Team in the Tropical Western Atlantic and has conducted 277 surveys in three of REEF's regions, including some of the first in our newest region, the South Pacific. Here's what Pat had to say about REEF:
When and how did you first volunteer with REEF or become a REEF member?
About ten years ago while reading a favorite dive magazine I noticed an announcement about an introductory fish identification trip sponsored by REEF and led by Paul Humann. The love of REEF was born!! I responded to the advertisement, encouraged my brother to join me and attended that Field Survey trip. We joined a group of equally dedicated divers eager as we to learn about fish and how to identify them. Paul was a great teacher, very patient and concerned that we not only learn about fish but care about them and the ocean we love.
If you have been on a REEF Field Survey, where and what was a trip highlight?
One of my most memorable surveying moments occurred that week on Paul's trip. On a night dive of a very old wreck with exposed wooden beams I saw my first queen parrotfish in their nighttime cocoons. Each parrot fish occupied a space between two beams framed by basket stars in full bloom. It was a magical sight. I try to take two or three REEF trips a year, they are a great way to learn more and dive with great people. In addition to the regular ID trips, I have really enjoyed the REEF Behavior Trips that are led by Ned and Anna DeLoach. It really completes the learning experience! It is a beautiful sight to watch damselfish guard their algae gardens from predation, observe cooperative hunting, or watch a three foot Midnight Parrotfish at a cleaning station with open mouth and flared gills.
What inspires you to complete REEF surveys?
Prior to that introductory course, I had been diving the Caribbean for twenty plus years. I witnessed the decline in fish numbers and species as well as reef degradation and wondered how many more years I could dive before there was nothing to see! REEF offered me a reason to continue diving, now there was opportunity to give back and enjoy diving again.
Do you have a favorite local (or not) REEF field station or dive shop?
I have found great enjoyment in Cozumel at the REEF Field Station at Aqua Safari, led by Sheryl Shea. She is a gifted teacher determined to make advanced assessment divers of all of us! It just so happens a few of my favorite fish are in Cozumel, the Splendid Toadfish, Sargassum Triggerfish, and Cherubfish, to name a few.

Since first featuring on the old LozzaMusic site back in 2011, Chris Richardson has gone from strength to strength and now poised to become YMCMB's next pop sensation, we got the chance to speak to the man himself. In the midst of a US radio tour promoting his brand new single "Joy & Pain", the 28 year old Virginia native gave us a deeper insight into his story up until today, singing with Cash Money, the ins and outs of his debut album and a whole lot more. Check out the full interview below!
Taking it right back to the beginning, I heard that your first break into the music industry came through Teddy Riley?
Yeah that's right, that's how I realised that what I wanted to do career wise. When I was 17, I did a local talent show back in Virgina and Teddy Riley happened to be in town as a guest judge, to show his support to Virginia music. I came second in the competition and he ended up inviting me to his studio the next day, where I recorded my first song in a real studio and I was just like "wow"! I had been a fan of Teddy Riley and the whole Jack Swing movement since I was a kid and at the time, I was forming myself, trying to discover who I really was and that was a real turning point for me.
He then left for LA but we kept in contact and made some more music but nothing mega festered from it. From there though, I knew exactly what I wanted to do and kept working within the Virginia scene, making the right connections and moving in the right direction which led to me getting the chance to work with Timbaland when he was putting together the first "Shock Value" album. I'm such a huge Timbaland fan, I grew up listening to him and when Ginuwine's "Pony" came out, it was like a turning point in this whole hybrid radio to me. I was so amazed for some reason.
Anyway, I was going back and forth to Miami to work with him but still living here in Virginia, working my 9 to 5 and that's when I tried out for American Idol because I just felt like I should, especially as things were in driving distance.
I tried out two years running and didn't make it and then the third year, I made it past the first level which was a big thing for me but at the same time, Timbaland had just asked me if I was interested in being on the "Shock Value" album and me, being a local boy from VA trying to make it in music, I was like "of course, are you kidding me?!".
When you faced the ultimatum of carrying on with Timbaland or with American Idol, how did you come to that decision, as some might might have seen it as a bit of a strange choice?
It was definitely a personal ultimatum that was hard for me because I'd worked so hard to get to that spot and wanted to capitalise on the opportunity of working with Timbaland and keep grinding to get that one song with him to catapult my career, especially as I was such a mega fan of his work growing up and had always hoped to work with him one day.
On the other hand, Idol could get me on a massive platform where people can see me and granted, it wasn't the way that I envisioned making it in this career, but I turned back to Timbaland and said I have this opportunity to be on this big television show. He was just like "yeah man, kill it" so I went and I did it and I happened to end up coming fifth, which was a great experience just as a crash course of the entertainment business.
When you were working with Timbaland, did you make any songs that we may know of today?
Oh man, you know what, we collab'ed a couple of times but I can't think of any songs we got finished, which was unfortunate.
He was solidifying the "Shock Value" album and it was my opportunity to be on the album to make my intro but unfortunately we didn't, which would have been a great story to tell.
I still love the dude to this day and we still see each other in the studio all them time when I'm down in Miami and maybe one day we'll have one.
What was the steepest learning curve and what shocked you the most about being on a show like Idol?
For me, it was having to get into this whole mode of playing the cameras, talking to press, smiling, presenting ourselves, choosing the right songs, all of which gave us a little insight into the entertainment industry, which I was really grateful for.
Like I said, I ended up coming fifth and the top 10 got to go on tour. We got introduced to another realm of the entertainment industry and that's a mega tour where mega people come out and support you. It threw us into this superstardom real quick but once the show's done and they're moving onto the next season, it's like you've dropped off the face of the planet so you have to capitalise on that fire while its hot.
That was probably what shocked me the most: looking back, I thought it was crazy that I never got any type of offer or interest after the show was done. Just the way the show was run and it being such a mega show, I thought "wow, millions of people are watching this thing" and you'd think that one or two labels would approach you but that wasn't the case for me, so I took it as motivation to work harder and it really pushed me to get it.
Fast forward to the beginning of 2012, how did you first hook up with Cash Money and how did that escalate to you signing the deal with them?
It was actually the connection between me and the A&R at Cash Money, who is now my manager. For the 4 years after Idol, I was writing with multiple writing camps, multiple producers, the whole rigorous grind within the music business. I started a publishing company and I just was out there promoting the résumé and from that, he was trying to get in contact with me and I was trying to get in contact with him.
He happened to be from Virginia as well and he eventually came up here and we met up at a bar. I'm the type of person that carries my music around in my backpack and he's the same kind of guy, so we just clicked it off real good from there. I showed him my music and he was like "man, I love your stuff, I'd like to get you down to Miami and introduce you to Birdman and Slim".
Two weeks later, he called me up and literally booked me a flight down there on the spot and introduced me to the team. When I presented my stuff, they really loved it and not only that, they seen how hard I worked and I felt like they genuinely really wanted me to be a part of their brand. I just stuck down there for weeks at a time just grinding in the studio, they let me work every single night and it was just a cool family camaraderie like they wanted me to succeed.
I told them the whole story, not in depth like how we're talking right now, but they knew that I had worked really hard from my manager and they value that over at Cash Money, people who work hard enough to not stop until they get it.
They're just down for you being you and your individuality and they actually genuinely love the music, which is really rare in the music industry.
As an outsider, Birdman is one of the most intriguing characters in the music industry to watch. Has he ever said or done anything to you that has particularly stuck in your mind?
I can't remember his exact words but I remember a year ago he told me something along the lines of "you come out for the first time and that's your only first time so make sure you give the best you possible".
Granted, I'd been introduced through Idol but they were giving me another opportunity to be introduced, without that tag on me anymore. They were giving me my individuality, my own brand.
I put what he said into every context, whether it was eating well, living healthier, working out and of course, always being in the studio taking and making sure my music was the best it could be. I really did pay attention to it because I knew that he just wanted me to give all I had and if he was interested in signing me, that was exactly what I was going to do.
Being around the likes of Birdman and Wayne who are all about their money, what's been the most eye opening or extravagant display of money that you've witnessed as part of YMCMB?
Oh man, there's been many! Birdman, he shows up in different cars all the time so it's not even surprising anymore to see him pulling up in a new Bugatti. Baby always carries around his bags of money. He's a businessman, he knows exactly what he's doing and it's just a joy to be around it and witness. They really do make a lot of money.
Besides that, the money didn't really intrigue me as much as the business intrigued me. The business of success. The business of actually moving forward and making a lifestyle out of their career.
Still on the subject of money, what would you see the best ways for upcoming artists to make money in today's music industry?
You always can make money through shows, touring, songwriting for other people, doing production for bigger acts, smaller acts, there's always a way if you stay interconnected.
If you aren't on top of your financial situation, that's the stuff that will weigh on your mind whilst you're doing music and hinder your creativity. You've got to make sure that you get yourself in a cool balance so if that means getting a day job, that's not the end of the world.
Once you start to make a bit of money, it's all about what you do with it and how you manage it until you get to a certain point where you can pull up in a new car every other day. I would always suggest not to portray a lifestyle that you don't actually live but Cash Money lives it, it's ok!
From being on American idol, working in a big production camp and now being a part of one of the most prominent labels, what has shocked you most about the music industry as a whole?
I always tell people that the music industry circle is so small, everybody knows everybody. You could be in LA and just talk about some random person, random producer, random songwriter or random label representative and 9 times out of 10, the person you're talking to is going to be like "oh yeah, I know them, I completely know them" or "me and him used to do this together" or "my brother is good friends with his brother". What it means though is that if you get out there and put yourself in the right place at the right time, things are going to happen a lot quicker than if you just sit back and wait for it to happen.
You have the new single out right now, "Joy & Pain" with Tyga. What inspired you to write that song and how did it all come together?
"Joy & Pain" was about the tug and pull and contrast of love. Even in the video, the part where she's getting a tattoo is a metaphor in the sense that it shows the literal pain of getting a tattoo but at the same time, putting something on your body that you love.
You're going to go through joys and really hard pains in relationships sometimes but it's that really solid love in the middle that keeps you together.
It was crazy because I ended my session one night with Detail. Detail did this record, he also produced "How To Love", and I came back and he just had this awesome awesome idea of joy and pain. We just built around this whole concept and ended up making a great record.
It wasn't all me on that record by any means. It was definitely a collaborative effort between Detail and I where it definitely had that tug and pull effect of a relationship where sometimes you feel like you're done, ready to give up and it's just not working but at the same time, you wake up the next day and were like what were we even fighting about.
On from the single, how is your debut album coming along and what can we be expecting from that?
I feel like I'm on album 7, I have so many songs it's unreal! Right now though, I'm still working on rounding the corners and finishing this album that we're going to put out in 2013 and making sure that I take all the songs that I want to include and make sure they blend and that is flows as an album.
There are ballads, there are songs by urban producers but with the guitars and live instruments blended in. I'm a a big fan of all types of music and have always been on the search to create this blend or hybrid of music which at the end of the day, turns into pop music but if I do it how I want to do it, it turns into my kind of pop music.
You can put Rihanna on any track out there, whether it's a live track, a processed track and everyone's going to recognise Rihanna's voice and adapt to it and respect it as a Rihanna song, whatever type of music you're usually into. That's what I want within the pop world, where you know the voice but it doesn't just have to be on one style or genre of record.
Personally, I bring this blue eyed soul and mix it in with today's pop music. There are some off tempos, some ballads, some deep storytelling songs that get into a deep metaphor storyline and then there are some songs that are very open ended, melodic and catchy and I feel like people like a blend of that.
When it comes to features, there are some people I am trying to get on it but not so much in the typical sense where you'd think a feature would be a rapper or something like that. I've been trying to get Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to play on this song forever now and I'd also love to do a collaboration with Amy from Evanescence, something off the wall.
What would you say is your favourite track on the album so far?
Ah man, I have a couple of them. There's a really big big big ballad that me and my buddy Keith Ross down in Miami did and it's called "Big World". To me, it's a very timeless record and I feel like you could listen to it today or twenty years down the road and it would still have the same effect. It has a timeless feel to it. There's a live orchestra on it and it's a real impactual song and I always like those type of records, the big anthem music.
I know you were talking about trying to get some really cool features onto your album, obviously because I'm from Britain I have to ask this, do you listen to a lot of British music at all?
Oh yes!
Who are some British artists that you're really into and if you could, you'd get featured on your album.
Oh man, if I could, I'd definitely get Adele. There's so many different ones, from Jessie J to Craig David. I grew up listening to Craig David. I was such a huge huge fan, I loved the whole scat mixed with R&B and to me, I feel like when there's a little bit of difficulty to it, it makes it intriguing to listen to a couple more times to learn it and that's what I thought about Craig David's stuff sometimes.
Paul McCartney, that would be awesome. Amy Winehouse, if she was still alive, because I was such a huge fan of hers as well. The list could go on and on and on and on but I think it just really would have to be the right timing in the certain situation or if we could link up and do anything.
Aside from yourself, which artists do you think are really going to shine in 2013?
I think the artists that stay consistent are going to stay great. I think Karmin are doing great in the pop world and I think that their songs are perfect for their brand and they're constant with it (check out LozzaMusic's interview with Karmin HERE!). I want Jessie J to come back out and take it to the next level. Adele, I don't know if she's going to come out with any more stuff because she's having a baby.
She just did the Bond theme tune!
I'm sure she's doing what she's doing while she's pregnant but if she were to come out with an album, I think it would make an even greater impact than "21" because going from a woman that talks about heartache and going through trouble in relationships to someone who looks from the outside as if they are settling down but in reality, are going through the fame, the pregnancy and a whole bunch of new troubles would make for some amazing music.
When you're talking about things that you actually went through, that's what people want to hear and if your music can sound good on the radio but once people get down to listening to it properly, they're like "wow, that's a crazy story", then that's perfect.
Any final words and shout outs?
Definitely shout out to y'all for having me on here, my label and everybody involved in what we're working on. Check out my new website ChrisRichardsonMusic.com for updates, we're going to put some new covers up there, people have been asking for certain things and we want to give them to them and deliver.

Why settle for one world when you can have the best of two? And thus East meets West was born and it was a joyous occasion. We created the perfect East meets West combination and bottled it in our Mandarin Glaze, just for you Traeger Nation. It has the sweet, acidic traits of the mandarin orange with the subtle heat of the red chili pepper.
Although the Mandarin Glaze is divine to use all by itself on everything from kebabs to egg rolls to chicken nuggets, we decided to crank up the heat a notch and throw in some smokiness with the addition of some chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Pair it with some asian slaw and jasmine rice and your mouth will cry with joy.
Chipotle-Mandarin Glazed Pork Tenderloins with Asian Slaw
Prep Time: 5 minutesCook Time: 30-40 minutesRecommended Pellets: Apple
Traeger Sweet Rub2 pork tenderloins, each 12 to 14 ounces - silverskin removedTraeger Mandarin Glaze1/2 to a whole chipotle in adobo sauce
SLAW:1/2 head of cabbage, slivered (I used purple but savoy would also work great)Kosher salt1 English cucumber, diced2 thinly sliced scallions1 red bell pepper1 carrot, grated2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro1 tablespoon grated ginger1/4 c. seasoned rice vinegar1 tablespoon honey (more or less to taste)1 tablespoon sesame oilJuice of 1 lime1/4-1/2 cup canola oilToasted sesame seeds
Generously season the pork tenderloins on all sides with the Traeger Sweet Rub and rub in.
Start the Traeger on Smoke with the lid open for 4-5 minutes or until the fire is established. Preheat to 325 degrees F for 10-15 minutes.
Arrange the pork tenderloins on the grill grate and cook for 30-40 minutes or until the internal pork temperature registers 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
About 10 minutes before the pork should be done cooking, whisk together the glaze.
Combine about half of the bottle of Traeger Mandarin Glaze with the diced chipotle and about 1/2 teaspoon of the adobo sauce in the can. The Mandarin Glaze already has a healthy spice to it so you may want to start by adding 1/2 of a diced chipotle and then taste and add more chipotle or adobo sauce to achieve that perfect heat and smoky flavor.
Brush the glaze on the pork tenderloins for the last 2-5 minutes of cooking.
This spicy-sweet pork pairs perfectly with a tangy asian slaw, which is easy to whip up while that pork is grillin' away to tender perfection.
Start by degorging the slivered cabbage. Degorging is the process of drawing moisture from vegetables. This will make the cabbage softer and help remove any bitterness.
Simply put the cabbage slivers in a colander with a generous few pinches of kosher salt.
Let it sit in the sink or over a bowl (it will release a good amount of water) for about 15 minutes.
Rinse and drain the cabbage and squeeze out any excess water.
Put the rinsed cabbage in a bowl along with the diced English cucumber (English cucumbers are great because the skin is soft enough that you don't have to bother with peeling them), grated carrot, sliced scallions, diced red bell pepper and chopped fresh cilantro.
Toss the vegetables together.
Make the dressing by whisking together the seasoned rice vinegar, grated ginger, honey, sesame oil, and lime juice. If you don't have a juicer, a hand held juicer like this one (below) is a hand-saver! Especially when it comes to juicing smaller fruits like limes. They're also easier to juice if you heat them in the microwave for a few seconds and put pressure on them with your palm as you roll them on the counter before slicing them.
Pour the dressing over the top of the vegetables and gently toss. Top with some toasted sesame seeds.
After you remove the tenderloins, let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices redistribute in the meat. Then slice into 3/4-inch slices and serve them with some steamed jasmine rice and the tangy asian slaw.
We know that you're going to fall in love with this Mandarin Glaze. We'll consider starting a support group.

I am going to explane this holiest of holy holidays:
Gweelowlala Day is a magical mystery tour of emotions and drugs. On Gweelowlala Day the woman of the house has to wear the traditional Gweelowlala stockings so dear sweet Saint Mash may fill them with gifts of cucumbers, Jergens hand lotion, finger cots and Canadian Club Whisky, the traditional drink of Gweelowlala Day. The traditional meal of Gweelowlala Day is loose roast beef sammiches, carrots, cucumbers(the ones from the stockings may be used), melons, hot dogs, fish tacos, sausage and kumquat pie for dessert.
All December long we celebrate the Gweelowlala with feasting and celebrations but on Gweelowlala Day, December 33rd, we celebrate the Forgenblufkinmoot with the Grand Feast and sacrifice three hot female virgins (preferably from ages 16-22), by dog, to the three gods of Gweelowlala Day: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Joseph Stalin and Micky Mouse.
The Saints of Gweelowlala Day are:
Saint Gumball of Narnia, patron saint of the spirit of Gweelowlala.
Saint Mash of Hyrule, patron saint of gifts and songs.
Saint Yappie of Mordor, patron saint of slaughtering heathens.
Below are the grand songs of Gweelowlala as composed by Saint Mash of Hyrule patron saint of gifts and songs:

How Can You Re-Engineer Your Undergraduate Program to Increase Women's Representation in Computing? Small Steps Toward Systemic Change (Case Study 1)
The socio-educational system a student experiences shapes participation in the major. Altering one element of that system is often not enough to create enduring change. When faculty members are ready to implement organizational innovation, success is more likely if they receive support from institutional leaders, have access to adequate resources, and are able to participate in decision-making about the change. Computing departments at universities across the country have been implementing changes to the educational system experienced by all students to increase women's representation in computing. Among other efforts, implementing collaborative learning environments (pair programming), creating flexible entry points into computing, and fostering supportive peer communities that extend beyond the classroom have resulted in increases in women's representation in computing.
