Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a significant contributor to cardiovascular morbidity. Amiodarone is a potent antiarrhythmic drug; however, patients receiving IV amiodarone are at high risk for phlebitis. Phlebitis may lead to infection, additional medical intervention, delay in treatment, and prolonged hospitalization. Therefore, examining new therapy approach, aimed to reduce the incidence of phlebitis is a valuable clinical and research goal.
Aim: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral versus intravenous (IV) Amiodarone in the treatment of AF of recent onset (duration < 48 h).
|Atrial Fibrillation
|Drug: Amiodarone
|Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|The Effect of Intravenous vs. Oral Administration of Amiodarone on the Incidence Rate of Phlebitis Among Patients With Recent Onset of Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
- Incidence rate of phlebitis [ Time Frame: during 24 h ]For detection of eventual amiodarone induced phlebitis the site of venous access will be examined 30 min, 3, 6, 12, 24 h after drug administration by one of the investigators
- incidence of hypotension [ Time Frame: during 24 h ]blood pressure measurements will be taken on admission and during treatment at defined intervals of 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 h
- Cumulative incidence of restored sinus rhythm [ Time Frame: During 48h ]Patients will be monitored during all stuffy period

|Study Start Date:
|May 2013
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|May 2015
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|May 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: oral amiodarone, group A
oral amiodarone 400 mg three times a day for 2 days
Drug: Amiodarone
patients will be randomly assigned to oral OR IV Amiodarone
Other Name: Procor
Experimental: IV amiodarone, Group B
IV loading of 300 mg for 30 min in 100cc glucose 5% IV infusion with 900 mg/24h in 1000cc glucose 5%
Drug: Amiodarone
patients will be randomly assigned to oral OR IV Amiodarone
Other Name: Procor
Detailed Description:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm abnormality worldwide. Three therapeutic goals should be considered for each patient: Rate control, maintenance of sinus rhythm and prevention of thromboembolism. In managing AF, numerous antiarrhythmic drugs have been used. Intravenous amiodarone is a class III antiarrhythmic agent which has been reported to be safe and most effective in various clinical settings, without an associated increase in mortality rate. In most of the cases, the method of administration is via peripheral infusion. Phlebitis is the most common complication with peripheral infusion of amiodarone. Phlebitis adversely affects patient care; it may interfere with the continued infusion of amiodarone, necessitate insertion of another peripheral intravenous or central catheter, and extend hospitalization. Furthermore, patients who develop phlebitis, experience pain, swelling, and inflammation. Phlebitis can be prevented by oral administration.
The goal of the proposed study is to evaluate the incidence rate of phlebitis following IV administration of amiodarone and to investigate whether the oral administration of amiodarone in patients with recent onset AF (duration < 48 h), is safer than, and as efficient as, the IV administration of the same drug in the ICCU and ICU setting.

The Diss section of Norfolk District Association celebrates its third anniversary this year having rapidly become a thriving CTC group. In an area that has always had a number of racing clubs it has quickly established a reputation as a friendly group welcoming cyclists with the message, "we cater for everyone, and we never leave anyone behind."
The Waveney Valley which covers South Norfolk and North Suffolk is typical of a rural environment with a network of small towns and villages which make it difficult to attract enough people to make cycling groups work, but the work of these enthusiasts has quickly established an excellent programme.

I've been looking at this printer for a while now, so I kinda knew what I was getting already. But Overstock matched a price and I used my "O dollars" and was able to get it for much less than the one I had been looking at. I recommend this printer to anyone looking for a multi function model! The only thing that is different from the older models (con) is that there isn't a separate picture tray, so you have to change the paper in the drawer. But that's it! It's quiet, works wirelessly with all of my products - Ipad, computer, etc. and is easy to set up.Read More

Guiseley 1 North Ferriby United 0
Guiseley completed the double over Skrill North title chasers North Ferriby United at Nethermoor today despite playing the last 25 minutes with ten men.
Former Leeds United defender Ben Parker was sent off after conceding a 65th minute penalty, but goalkeeper Steve Drench saved Nathan Jarman's spot kick.
The only goal of the game was scored by Gavin Rothery in the tenth minute when he cut inside before curling a shot into the net.
Guiseley have now taken 20 points from their last eight games as their late push for a play-off place gathers momentum.

By A. Edward Gottesman
It's only money, for heaven's sake! The euro is a great convenience for trade and travel, and it is a powerful symbol of unified purpose for countries that have been at each other's throats for 1000 years. But it doesn't cure cancer or the common cold. In October, Angela Merkel, German chancellor, said: "If the euro collapses, then Europe collapses." This hyperbole may have worked as scare politics, but it was bad economics. Keynes identified as long ago as 1923 what we can now call the Merkel mistake:
"Conservative bankers regard it as more consonant with their cloth, and also as economising thought, to shift public discussion of financial topics off the logical on to an alleged 'moral' plane, which means a realm of thought where vested interest can be triumphant over the common good without further debate."

Germany increases its humanitarian assistance to Pakistan to 13 million US-Dollars
The German government today decided to substantially increase its humanitarian aid to Pakistan: The total amount of 13 million US-Dollars (10 million Euro) will now be made available to humanitarian organisations for the distribution of food and non-food items to the more than 6 million people in direct humanitarian need. More than 14 million people are estimated to be affected by this major catastrophe.
On the occassion of today's publication of the "Pakistan Initial Floods Emergency Response Plan" (PIFERP) by the UN-Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Ambassador Miguel Berger, acting Permanent Representative, declared that a special focus of the German aid would be laid on water, sanitation and hygiene measures – one of the priorities identified in the PIFERP.
Ambassador Berger said: "On behalf of the German government and the German people I wish to express my heartfelt condolences to the people of Pakistan." He further underlined that Germany is firmly committed to supporting those in need and will continue to do her utmost to alleviate their suffering.

@DroidLanding comes back online, new DROID on the way?
0. phoneArena posted on 18 Jun 2013, 15:54
The Verizon DROID brand has been pretty quiet for a long time now. The last DROID device to launch was the HTC DROID DNA back in November of last year, and the @DroidLanding Twitter feed has been silent since early November as well. Today, @DroidLanding has come back online, so does that mean we should expect a new DROID device?...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Don't they already have the DNA? It's the VERIZON DROID version. except the body material is different they don't need the DNA on VERIZON when they already have every single phone including the RAZR HD N MAXX

"Don't they already have the DNA? It's the VERIZON DROID version, except the body material is different. They don't need the DNA on VERIZON when they already have every single phone including the RAZR HD N MAXX."
I think this is what the OP meant. Some of us still think punctuation is important.
It's amazing to me how 2 different viewpoints keep coming up. The OP says we have every single phone where most Verizon customers complain about the lack of phone selection. As far as Verizon goes, they generally get the phones, but either they're rebranded or personalized for Verizon, or the best variants are only available to GSM carriers.
Two years ago everyone got the Galaxy S2 and Note, but not Verizon. Last year everyone got the One series except for Verizon, then at the end of the year we got the DNA, a modified and rebranded version of the One X. Last year the GSM carriers got the Nexus 4. This year the GSM carriers are getting the Google Editions of the S4 and One (& possibly the Xperia Z). About the only thing Verizon has as an exclusive is the Razr series. Most other Droid phones were simply rebranded versions of other phones.
23. KParks23 (Posts: 679; Member since: 13 Oct 2010)
Are u kidding me vzw went 6 months without releasing a flagship phone till the s4 all the while we watch att get like 5 flagship phones.. Im still waiting for the htc one version hopefully its the butterfly s because im not buy a 3 month old phone at this point!and the razr hd was POS With outdated specs
2. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
Oooo. Unless they're releasing the HTC Butterfly S as the DROID DNA 2 after all (I expected this until Verizon announced it would sell the One)... hmmm. Hmmm. I would love to hear about a new Motorola DROID flagship, but all the leaks have been about the Moto X.
DROID RAZR X anyone?
3. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
hmm...could Motorola be making the Moto X a Droid device on Verizon?
or perhaps the HTC One has gotten some Droid retrofitting?
i dunno, this IS a mystery. o:
a very, very curious one...

If I were to predict purely based on timing of leaks, I would say DNA+ (Butterfly S). And I would give a DNA with BoomSound a good hard look if they throw in more storage. We've seen the device pass through bluetooth cert and we've seen the Butterfly S on blurrycam. It even has a model number and codename - 6445LVW DLXPLUS. This is about where we were when the DNA was announced last fall. But... the One!
13. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3117; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
I hope it's the Droid 5, I do not want to see the death of android slide out keyboard devices!!!!!
16. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
It was nice to have the option, but unless you know something about Droid 4 sales that I don't... that was the end of the line. 'sides, with Swype and SwiftKey and the like, I don't miss physical keyboards.
Good to see you come out of the woodwork tho!
14. wrm2013 (Posts: 209; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
Droid x 4g, I'd buy that.
19. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
you mean the Droid Razr?
17. roscuthiii (Posts: 2241; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
"We do know for sure that there are no DROID branded devices in the Motorola pipeline."
But can't Verizon go by it's own branding, regardless of Moto's? It is Verizon that's licensed the use of Droid afterall.
Also, the Droid Eris was by HTC so it's not like Verizon is letting Moto use the term exclusively.
If it's not the Moto X that's coming, I know I wouldn't mind seeing an HTC One in Droid black & red.
18. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
I don't think Verizon will mix and match the One and Droid brands. It would confuse things too much. They can however extend the DROID DNA brand to make it more One-like. HTC did the work for them.
21. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4785; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
Not just the Droid Eris, but also the Droid Incredible series (1, 2, & 4GLTE), & the DNA. There's also the Samsung Droid Charge. Moto doesn't have a lock on the Droid name.
24. Daftama (Posts: 619; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
Like blackberry coming really late in the game by than htc and samm and icrap will have flagship sorry scratch icrap its not considered as flagship
25. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
And we're talking about BlackBerry... why?
26. Daftama (Posts: 619; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
A lesson to be learned. ..dont make years to make a flagship that years behind
27. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
Right... the last DROID flagship was the DNA, which was just released 7 months ago. It's still pretty competitive.

The decision by Kensington & Chelsea council to charge a one-off fee of £825,000 to a hedge fund manager who wanted to excavate and build a luxury basement will send shivers through the well-heeled of London.
Not many people will feel too sorry for Reade Griffith of Polygon Investment Partners but it throws a light on the high, and sometimes hidden, transaction fees attached to the inflated London housing market.
Section 106 agreements, the legal avenue used by Kensington to extract the fee from Mr Griffith and his wife, are usually struck between planning authorities and developers of commercial or residential developments, rather than individuals. Read more

Well, I just had my first access with Tom Renney since taking over the blog and we chatted about Petr Prucha's situation.
Renney feels that Prucha — who, as we know is not afraid to play a physical game for a smallish player — wears down. And wears down significantly, to the point where it affects his skating.
"With a guy like Pruch, it's a matter of him getting in and being able to sustain it," Renney said. "He's not a big guy. For our needs, at least, a guy like Petr is good for a while and then it seems to dry up on him. Then I can get him back in again. The bottom line is it's his size. It's getting banged around, and then because of that, not being able to sustain what he can deliver over the period of more than four or five games. And that's the dilemma that I have.
"And it's too bad," Renney said, "because he's a helluva guy."
The two new guys, Artem Anisimov and Eric Reitz, will play tonight.
"(Reitz has) got some size to him, he's got some bite to his game, he's got some aggressiveness," Renney said. "We want to make sure that, from that point of view at least, he's delivers on the physical play. He's got to keep it within the context of what's required, naturally.
"With Artie, we're going to give hm some good minutes, have a good look at him, watch him transport the puck from one end to the other, how he moves it, how he reads off the speed of the game. He can make some things happen for us. It does allow us the latitude of doing some other things with some lines, which I think could be interesting tonight. So as long as Artie is competent in what I think he can do — or he wouldn't be here — he'll have a good night."
It's not just a matter of need, Renney said.
"We've got guys who can play the position. Dubinsky's going to try the wing tonight. Korpikoski can play center, too. So we have people who can play center ice. Artie's had a very good season so far in Hartford, so we feel the need to have a look at him while the opportunity is there to see if we in fact can take it even further."

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on A9 TV dated 26 March 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: "If you fear a breach between a couple [husband an wife], send an arbiter from his people and an arbiter from her people. If the couple desire to put things right, Allah will bring about a reconciliation between them. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware."
Husbands and wives sometimes want to split up, for no reason. But Allah says that they can resolve it if an arbiter from the woman's family and an arbiter from the man's family negotiate together. Allah says He will reconcile them, if they wish.2012-06-27 13:31:29

3 arrested for trying to use fake credit cards, police say
Published: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 3:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 3:02 p.m.
Three men with more than $4,000 in cash among them were arrested at a Gainesville fast food restaurant when they tried to use fake credit cards to buy $33 worth of food, a report said.
Xamiere Parke, 26; Cyril Usen, 27; and Taifour Kaba, 28, were arrested by Gainesville Police around 11 p.m. and all charged with trafficking in counterfeit credit cards.
A cashier at the drive-through window at the Burger King at 3905 Archer Road called police after Usen tried paying for food with seven different credit cards. All the credit cards had different names, and all of them were declined, police said.
Police were called by the cashier, who told them Usen appeared impatient and asked her why the process was taking so long. He then got a different card from Kaba and used it to pay $33.87 for the food, police said.
The group then parked and Usen went into the Burger King and argued with the cashier over his order and the way she had spoken to the men.
Police searches found about 46 fraudulent cards on Usen, Kaba and in their 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. The car was rented from an Enterprise location in Houston, and the men told police they were on their way to Miami. Their stories about why they were in Gainesville conflicted, police said.
Police found $1,284 in cash on Usen and $3,364 on Kaba. Neither could provide a plausible source for the cash, according to police reports. They also found a laptop with a magnetic card reader/writer in the SUV.
The three men were booked into the Alachua County Jail around 5 a.m. Thursday.

Up is not an easy direction. It defies gravity, both cultural and magnetic. --Mike Abrashoff
The market has drifted slowly upward for a couple of weeks. While the indices are still producing gains, the action under the surface has been choppy and uneven. Most notably, we are seeing more intraday reversals as strength is sold more aggressively.
Even the bulls are growing fatigued and many are looking for a pullback. Of course, the great irony of the stock market is that the bigger the group of people anticipating a particular move, the less likely it is to occur since they have already acted to some degree.
I suspect that a big reason behind this steady uptrend is the many underinvested bulls that keep inching in out of frustration as the market keeps pushing higher each day. They are growing more hesitant to chase, but they still provide great support on dips.
Markets making new highs have a tendency to stay sticky to the upside; they don't just fall apart and go straight down suddenly after hitting a new high. But I'm finding it increasingly difficult to make progress on the upside. There are still good stocks like Netflix (NFLX), LinkedIn (LNKD) and Priceline (PCLN) chugging along, but I'm seeing more reversals and, for the first time in a while, I was looking at potential short setups.
The main catalyst for weakness this morning is a report that the economy in the eurozone contracted 0.6% in the fourth quarter. The bears say it's only a matter of time before the negatives start to matter, and you have to wonder if this is the first sign that the focus is shifting. The political debate over spending cuts in the U.S. is going to heat up very quickly as well, and that will provide the bears with more ammunition.
The good news is Warren Buffett is acquiring Heinz (HNZ), which will give the bulls some good arguments for saying that the market still is not expensive. It certainly helps sentiment when the Oracle of Omaha is willing to put big money into the market at this point.
I've been battling my inclination to be more bearish, but the action in many individual stocks is pushing me in that direction. It is still too early to call a market top, but I'm being cautious and keeping things tight.

This is the result of an idea I'd been kicking around for awhile and finally decided to try this past weekend.
I started with 1-1/2 pounds of ground beef divided about 2:1.
The next step was to form a trench in the larger piece and layer in some lightly cooked bacon, mushrooms, and grated Colby-Jack cheese.
Then I added 2 more strips of bacon, sealed everything with the remaining hamburger, wrapped some bacon around, and brushed the top with some bacon grease.
I seared the bottom and top over briquettes and then let it cook indirect with 2 more pieces of Colby-Jack on top, and when it was done I toasted a grocery store mini-baguette to use as the bun.
This was a fun cook and the only part that didn't really turn out as expected was the addition of the mushrooms; they didn't have as much flavor as I was hoping for. If I was to do it again I would've cooked the mushrooms first to concentrate the flavor and also allow me to put more in - should've thought of that beforehand! Still, it had plenty of cheese and bacon flavor and was enough for 4 people for lunch.

Townsend Bowls Club won the Tripartite Trophy for the third year in a row.
For the last 15 years Townsend have competed in a triangular tournament against Mill Hill and Cockfosters; two other clubs that were also founded in 1919.
The match was held at Cockfosters and Townsend started strongly, particularly in the two rinks that were up against Mill Hill, with Roger Potter's team scoring eight on the sixth end.
The Townsend rinks edged ahead and built on their lead right through to the final ends. The result was a win for Townsend with 102 shots. Cockfosters ended with 75 and Mill Hill on 40.
The rink scores for the winners were Robbie Ransted, Tony Izzard and Laurie Rackham who won by 23-6; Fred Mulberry, David Day and Mike Cowell by 24-14 both against Cockfosters; Richard Morgan, Peter Thomson and Dave Houghton by 23-11; and the top rink of Bob Padget, Gordon Williamson and Roger Potter who triumphed 32-10 against Mill Hill.
Townsend edged to a 77-60 midweek friendly win at Hemel.
The winning rinks for the visitors were those of Ian Forster, John Oakey, Tony Izzard and Chas Prior who won by 19-13.
The top rink of Morgan, Alan Tucker, Les Perkins and Peter Thomson won convincingly by 25-6.
The three fours were held at Townsend with Hatfield the visitors.
Hatfield edged to a one-shot win despite Townsend's winning rinks for Andy Bates, David Day, Peter Armstrong and John Godman (20-14) and Peter Thomson, Roger Potter, Jason Hall and Gary West (22-19).

They can't stand freedom. Having given it up themselves, it irks them to see anyone else have it and use it. They create a whole value system based on the necessity to be like them and deprive ourselves as they do.

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Bumblebee forums → Bumblebee discussion → Thread
Hi again Pat,
Yesterday I let Elaine know at BBCT that you might have an interesting B. hypnorum record.
While we were talking, she took a long hard look at your photos and let me down gently !
Her cool professional reaction was that your mystery bee was most likely to be a White-tailed bumblebee - and these new photos fit with that diagnosis, because in the one on the right black fur is visible above the yellow.
If it was really B. hypnorum, the thorax fur would be uniform in colour.
So, my excitement is now abating !
And I feel sorry for making that erroneous diagnosis of B. hypnorum.
However, at least I know where Seil is now ..... so you've improved my Scottish Geography, which as a soft southerner cold do with major enhancement.
I'm glad you are enjoyingDave Goulson's 'Sting in the Tale' some of the early reminiscences took me back to my own boyhood - but I never got in to Taxidermy !
Yes it is an excellent read and made much better by all the descriptions of how the experiments were done and some of the people involved.
Yours Clive
I guessed as much when I saw your own photos of a Tree Bumble, so no problem! At least it was a bumblebee. Not many of them around here just now.
Hi All,
Just a note to say that in the last few days I spotted a B. hypnorum worker foraging on Apple Blossom.
There have also been workers of terrestris/lucorum and hortorum and pratorum doing the same.
Also still queens of B. pascuorum.
Morning all,
Just been for a quick look around the garden again…...... At last I've seen a big B Lap; queen. She's zig zagging around all over the place looking for a nest site….. hopefully in my garden !
Apart from Wasps, so far this season is turning out to be very quiet, I've had a few B Terrestris and B Pascuorum in the garden but that's about all….... But there does seem to be jaspers everywhere, has anyone else noticed ?
Does anyone know if there is a Wasps nest nearby, would it have any effect on BB numbers in the Wasps nest area !!!!

Firefighters across Wiltshire will strike on Friday for the first time since the New Year, after talks to resolve a long-running pay dispute broke down again.
The Fire Brigades' Union has been in negotiation with the government for three years over proposed changes to pay and conditions, with a series of coordinated strikes held last year, including walkouts on Bonfire Night and New Year's Eve.
This latest round of action will take place between noon and 5pm, Friday, May 2, on Saturday between 2pm and 2am, and from 10am to 3pm on Sunday.
There will also be a ban on voluntary overtime from 3pm on Sunday, until noon next Friday.
During the strikes there will be no cover at the full-time station in Chippenham, and in the on-call stations at Calne and Pewsey.
FBU general secretary Matt Wrack said: "Several members of government were only too keen to praise firefighters during the winter floods, but their words amount to nothing when they simultaneously ignore issues that threaten the future of firefighters and their families.
"Nevertheless, we remain totally committed to resolving the dispute through negotiation, and are ready to meet to consider a workable proposal as soon as possible."
Wiltshire's chief fire officer Simon Routh-Jones said: "Having not had any industrial action since the New Year, and with talks having been held between the FBU and the government, it is immensely frustrating that we again find ourselves planning for strikes.
"This is a national dispute, yet it is individual fire and rescue services, and therefore local communities, that are bearing the brunt.
"We will be making every effort to provide the best possible fire cover, but we will be operating with reduced resources and this will have an effect.
"During the strike periods, we will still respond to 999 calls, but it may take us a little longer than usual to arrive and, with larger premises, we may send a smaller attendance than usual in the first instance."
The service's offered tips on staying safe include:
• Always make sure you have working smoke alarms and test them every week.
• Never leave cooking unattended. Most fires start in the kitchen so this is a high risk area. Avoid cooking whilst under the influence of alcohol and always turn off kitchen appliances when you have finished cooking.
• If you smoke, make sure cigarettes are fully extinguished. Take particular care when you're tired or been drinking, as it's very easy to fall asleep while your cigarette is still burning.
• Make sure everyone in your home knows what to do in the event of a fire – get out, stay out, call 999.
• If you're out on the roads, drive to the conditions and never drive if you've been drinking. Remember, it's better to arrive a few minutes late than not arrive at all.

GONZALES — The first phase of construction on a new River Parishes Community College campus has started at the Edenborne development in Gonzales.
Approximately 150 to 200 people, including a number of elected officials along with college staff and faculty members, attended a formal groundbreaking ceremony Thursday morning. It wasn't just a typical ceremonial groundbreaking, however, as just yards away several dump trucks and bulldozers actually were moving piles of dirt on the site of the new campus.
The community college purchased 43 acres at the Edenborne site, located off La. 44 south of Interstate 10 in Gonzales, and plans to construct a new $17 million, 81,000-square-foot facility that will house the college's academic programming and administrative offices, nearly tripling the current capacity of the college's leased home on La. 22 in Sorrento.
"It is going to be a beautiful facility, but it's only the beginning of what's going to happen here," said Joe May, president of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System.
After the first phase is completed, which is expected to happen in the spring of 2014, the college will begin construction of five buildings south of the main building for an Advanced Technology Center, which will house all of the college's technical programming. Upon completion, it will mark the first time all of the college's programs will occupy the same campus since River Parishes Community College merged with Louisiana Technical College's Ascension campus in 2010.
College officials hailed Thursday as a great day for both the college and the community.
"It's been a long journey, more than 13 years, to get to this place," said Bill Martin, RPCC's executive vice chancellor.
River Parishes Community College started in the fall of 1999 with 117 students in a rented campus near I-10 on La. 22 in Sorrento.
Today, the college has more than 3,600 students and has broken ground on the first campus that the college ever will own outright.
Martin said much of the credit for the growth and direction the college has taken through the years belongs to its chancellor, Joe Ben Welch, who has been the head of the college since his hiring in 1998.
"It's been his vision and his persistence that has gotten us to this place," Martin said.
Welch gave "a huge thank you" to a number of people who attended Thursday's gathering, including about two dozen faculty members. In addition, he choked up and became emotional while citing the "overwhelming" community support for the college.
May said that while RPCC officials plan to construct a beautiful campus, it's not just about buildings. Instead, he said, it's about the role the college can play in the community.
"I think this is one of those projects everyone can get behind because it was for the right reasons and the right cause," May said.

STAFF at a high-tech Malvern company have joined in the latest fundraising craze by dousing each other with ice-cold water.
The "ice-bucket challenge" has become an internet sensation, with famous faces ranging from screen stars to a former US president getting soaking wet for a good cause - in this country the fight against motor neurone disease.
So for staff at Smartbox Assistive Technology , based at Barnards Green, taking part was a no-brainer , since their work brings them in to contact with people with motor neurone disease on a continual basis.
Dougal Hawes, the company's business development director, said: "Our technology enables somebody that has no physical movement to control a computer with their eyes. This means they can write messages to talk, send emails or SMS messages, go online and generally stay in touch with family and friends.
"As a result, we work with many people who have motor neurone disease who benefit from our technology, and so we know the problems they have.
"Taking part in it is a bit uncomfortable, but it's a brilliant campaign to raise awareness of an awful disease, and staff have really done us proud by taking part."
He said he dis not know how much had been raised, because individual staff members took care of their own fundraising, but they have contributed towards more than £1,190,000 raised so far in total.
And he urged people to support the cause, by visiting justgiving.com/icebucket4mnd or texting ICED55 (amount) to 70070.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/7/2014 (1138 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
So where do we go from here?
Actually, before we go there, an admission.
I didn't believe city council could summon the collective wisdom -- or the numbers -- to actually send the city down the historic, unmapped road rarely travelled that it's on. They wouldn't have if Mayor Sam Katz had got his way.
And they almost didn't.
On Wednesday, late in a marathon special session -- that climaxed with a motion by John Orlikow (River Heights-Fort Garry) -- city council voted 8-7 to send the recently tabled independent EY real estate audit to Manitoba Justice for review.
That's the report that led EY auditor Mark Single to describe its findings as "troubling and concerning."
Coincidentally, Orlikow's motion came the day after my column quoting a former Manitoba deputy attorney general. Bruce MacFarlane said judging by what he had read in the Free Press about the audit's findings, it should be "screened" by Manitoba Justice to determine whether there is sufficient reason to send the report to police for further investigation.
"It was very helpful," Orlikow said of the column. "I was considering it," he added in reference to the motion, "but that really helped."
MacFarlane, who offered the expert opinion, is really the one to thank.
He, and perhaps the nudge from provincial cabinet communications, which -- at the end of the column -- suggested since city council commissioned the audit "they have the ability to respond to the matters it identifies or refer it for further review."
Of course, there had been others before MacFarlane, and even before the audit arrived, who had suggested police should delve into the goings-on at city hall.
Even the police themselves.
As Colin Craig of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation pointed out in his submission to council Wednesday, last fall Mike Sutherland, the president of the Winnipeg Police Association, wrote that the RCMP should be called in to investigate city hall.
That may be the outcome of Manitoba Justice's review; a suggestion the Mounties take a more detailed look into what the audit was tasked to do.
That's far from a sure thing.
It found no evidence of illegality within "the scope" of the real estate transactions it was asked to review, but then, it wasn't a forensic audit. Even though a forensic accountant from EY's Ottawa office looked at the findings.
As lead auditor Single told council when asked about potential criminality in any of the transactions: "We're clearly not lawyers and this is a question best answered by legal counsel."
Yet, even after they heard that, the council vote was close.
It could even have been defeated if Justin Swandel (St. Norbert) had voted with Katz to make it 8-8.
But he essentially abstained by, mysteriously, not staying for the vote.
It also could have been defeated if all the members of the mayor's executive policy committee had voted against it, as Orlikow told me Katz tried to persuade them to at an EPC meeting Wednesday morning.
But Russ Wyatt (Transcona) and Jeff Browaty (North Kildonan) weren't persuaded and voted to send the audit for a legal opinion from Manitoba Justice.
The soon-to-be-former mayor, who has obviously lost his grip on council, still voted to block the road rarely travelled at city hall, and the motion that put us on it.
Still, earlier in the day, Katz put on a lawyer-like performance -- a well-prepared lawyer-like performance -- in an attempt to discredit the report and put references to his "good friend" and former chief administrative officer Phil Sheegl and former business partner Sandy Shindleman in proper context.
Two men who, through post-audit media interviews, have complained they were never interviewed by auditors.
So where do we go from here?
Well, after city hall's request formally goes to the province early next week, undoubtedly senior Manitoba Justice lawyers will give it a thorough and thoughtful review. And if they find good reason and decide to send it to police for investigation?
Well, the RCMP will do what the Mounties always do. They'll follow the evidence down whatever road it takes them.

I am trying to create a clean URL using a RewriteRule in an .htaccess file (using Apache 2.2).
Using a hypothetical example, I would like this:Ripley's Believe It Or Not – Piccadilly Circus (London, England)
To appear like this:attraction/ripleys-believe-it-or-not-piccadilly-circus-london-england
i.e. Remove all punctuation, replace spaces with hyphens, and make upper case letters lower case. The number of spaces will vary from entry to entry and could be even more than the eight here, so I expect the [N] suffix may well be required.
I am currently using the 'id' (below) rather than the 'attraction_name', which is obviously far simpler, but does not create a very useful or attractive URL:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^attraction/([0-9]*)$ attraction/?id=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
I have also used a PHP custom function ('GenerateUrl') to generate the URL I need from within the link (below), but with this method (found at this site) the variable is not passed to the next page in its original state and therefore cannot then be used to select corresponding data.
<a href = "/attraction/<?php echo GenerateUrl($attraction['id']); ?>"><?php echo html($attraction[attraction_name']); ?>
I don't want to use the 'RewriteMap myquery' method as once my site goes live I don't expect I'll have access to the server's httpd.conf or virtualhost configuration files, which that would require.
I've considered using the custom function to create a URL that can be saved in the 'attraction' table and therefore be used to select corresponding data thereafter, but would rather not given I'm pretty sure it's avoidable.
I just can't figure out what the RewriteRule should be – can anybody help me out?
<snip><merged from hijacked thread><edited>DK or ScallioXTX seeing as you each seem to be have expertise on RewriteRules, I hope that you might be able to help.</snip></merged></edited>Thanks in advance,
And it should allow for numbers in case there is such an attraction to be listed, i.e. 'Cafe 1001' (attractions/cafe-1001).
I've decided that the best way is to create a field in which to store URLs for their respective entries.
I am using the GenerateUrl function (found here):-
function GenerateUrl ($s) { //Convert accented characters, and remove parentheses and apostrophes $from = explode (',', "ç,æ,œ,á,é,í,ó,ú,à,è,ì,ò,ù,ä,ë,ï,ö,ü,ÿ,â,ê,î,ô,û,å,e,i,ø,u,(,),[,],'"); $to = explode (',', 'c,ae,oe,a,e,i,o,u,a,e,i,o,u,a,e,i,o,u,y,a,e,i,o,u,a,e,i,o,u,,,,,,'); //Do the replacements, and convert all other non-alphanumeric characters to spaces $s = preg_replace ('~[^\\w\\d]+~', '-', str_replace ($from, $to, trim ($s))); //Remove a - at the beginning or end and make lowercase return strtolower (preg_replace ('/^-/', '', preg_replace ('/-$/', '', $s))); }
It works great for the most part, although I am having problems with apostrophes.
Used as quotation marks (i.e. only touching another character on one side) they work fine:-'Eiffel Tower (Paris)' becomes eiffel-tower-paris
But used as actual apostrophes (being sandwiched between two characters), not so well:-St Paul's Cathedral (London) becomes st-paul-s-cathedral-london
I'm using PHP 5.4.3 and have code to undo the modifications of magic quotes (should this be the cause of the problem).
Sorry, code should read better here:-
function GenerateUrl ($s) {
//Convert accented characters, and remove parentheses and apostrophes
$from = explode (',', "ç,æ,œ,á,é,í,ó,ú,à,è,ì,ò,ù,ä,ë,ï,ö,ü,ÿ,â,ê,î,ô,û,å,e,i,ø,u,(,),[,],'"); $to = explode (',', 'c,ae,oe,a,e,i,o,u,a,e,i,o,u,a,e,i,o,u,y,a,e,i,o,u,a,e,i,o,u,,,,,,');
//Do the replacements, and convert all other non-alphanumeric characters to spaces
$s = preg_replace ('~[^\\w\\d]+~', '-', str_replace ($from, $to, trim ($s)));
//Remove a - at the beginning or end and make lowercase
return strtolower (preg_replace ('/^-/', '', preg_replace ('/-$/', '', $s)));
I should mention that the desired URL would be:
I've just figured out the original function code I gave DOES work. However, it only seems to works if I apply the function to the name live on the page, i.e.
<?php echo generateurl($attraction['attraction_name']); ?>
But what I am currently doing is applying the function within the index.php file when data is entered into the website. I suspect the problem is coming from the fact that I am applying the function to a value which has already had the below function applied to it (to deal with magic quotes):-
$attraction_name = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['attraction_name']);
$attraction_url = generateurl($attraction_name);
I reckon I've got to shift some coding around to generate the URL from the attraction_name before it is affected by mysqli_real_escape_string. I'll let you know how I get on... (nobody else has yet joined this discussion but I figure if I solve it then it could prove useful to somebody in the future).
Yes, it turns out that
mysqli_real_escape_string was the cause of the problem. A bit of reordering of the code seems to have sorted it:-
$attraction_url = generateurl($_POST['attraction_name']);
$attraction_name = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['attraction_name']);
The easiest way to get it to be st-pauls-cathedral-london, is to replace 's with just an s before you do anything else.
$str = str_replace("'s", "s", $str);
The original function code did work; the problem I was having was casued by the 'mysqli_real_escape_string' function (see above).
I now want to remove the word 'The' (or 'the') from the start of any URLs that I create (and 'A' and 'An' as well once I've got that working). Surely it should be a simple change made to the bottom line of the function (see below), but it does not appear to be working - any ideas?
return strtolower (preg_replace ('/^-/', '', preg_replace ('/-$/', '', preg_replace ('/^the /i', '', $s))));
you could do
$urlstring = strtolower(preg_replace('[A-Za-z0-9-_]','-', $urlstring));
that should replace everything thats not A to Z or a to z or 0 to 9 or - or _ with a dash (-) and then make it all lowercase
you could then check if thats the current url and use a header() call to automatically 301 to the correct place.
thats what I do for all my projects
This is the solution I've used to remove 'the', 'a', and 'an' from start of any URL:-
Replace the bottom line of the above GenerateUrl function code with the below (obviously this line still also converts everything to lower case letters and removes any opening or closing hyphens):-
return strtolower (preg_replace ('/^-/', '', preg_replace ('/-$/', '', preg_replace ('/\\b(^the|^a|^an)\\b/i', '', $s))));
Some useful advice on this subject from Stack Overflow.
And good article on using \b for word boundaries in regular expressions from Regex Tutorial.
Don't forget to check the ALLOWED/RESERVED/PROHIBITED lists of characters at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt before you get into all this changing of URI characters.
I've got a client set-up to do exactly this BUT have prohibited any offending characters from his article titles. PM me if you would like to see the code.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/3/2013 (1629 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TAMPA, Fla. — Do the right things and a team wins games. Win games and good things happen to a team.
The Winnipeg Jets saw that cause and effect on Thursday night as they played the style required for them to be successful and earned a 2-1 win over the divisional rival Tampa Bay Lightning.
The victory resulted in the Jets shooting up to ninth in the Eastern Conference standings from 11th. Winnipeg now owns a .500 record at 11-11-1 for 23 points, just three back of a playoff spot in the East.
"That's the way we want to play every night. It was a good battle from both teams. We did the right things as a team, which we didn't do the last two games and they were losses," said veteran defenceman Mark Stuart.
First period
❚ Eric Tangradi has been given an opportunity by the Jets, playing in 16 games since being acquired, but his window of opportunity was in danger of being closed after failing to produce any points. A first-period goal showed off his size and finish as he beat Lightning goalie Anders Lindback from in tight.
"That felt great. I've been trying to contribute and I think I have with my size, but scoring is something I have to do as well," said Tangradi. "Hopefully this will give me more opportunity and I can build on this."
Second period
❚ A key coming into this game for the Jets was staying out of the penalty box, as Tampa has one of the league's most dangerous power plays. Things went awry for Winnipeg as both Stuart and Paul Postma ended up in the box at the same time. Goalie Al Montoya came up with some key saves and the Jets escaped the second still leading 1-0.
"All the guys did a great job on the penalty kill," said Montoya. "They didn't let them have many shots and when they did, I was able to see them and then our guys cleared pucks away. It was a big win for us."
Third period
❚ The heat turned up in the third period as Lightning sniper Steven Stamkos scored his league-leading 18th of the season. Montoya had no chance and the Lightning found themselves even at home with lots of mileage left on the clock.
But the Jets proved resilient and Bryan Little cashed in with a quick shot that left Lindberg wanting.
After the buzzer
❚ Jets head coach Claude Noel pointed to his team's penalty killing in the game and in particular in the second period as the key to the win.
"The turning point in the game was the 5-on-3 for the full two minutes. We lost (Mark) Stuart and were down a defenceman so that's why I called the timeout, to keep the people fresh."

Hi there,
I've got a few questions regarding the web development and design industry (I'm aware they are different things) and was hoping you guys in the business can offer your thoughts.
I'm a 27 year old architecture graduate, and have worked in the architecture industry for the past 5 years or so. Whilst I've never really thoroughly enjoyed it, it's been ok. However, the industry has suffered horrendously through the current economic situation; the company I work for has cut its staff almost in half over the past 18 months or so, and I'm now on a much lower salary than I probably hoped to be on when I started. I appreciate that almost all industries have suffered a similar fate, but I've seen a lot more new websites go up over the past 6 months than new buildings.
With that said, I've felt for the past few months that now might be a good time for a career change, or at least a good time to start looking into one. This is where we get onto the web stuff.
I've long had a great interest in graphic design - web, print, all aspects. I actually did some graphic design during college, but never followed it through any further. I've kept up to date with design trends simply because I enjoy it as a spectator, but I think it may be something I'd actually like to get into as a career.
I'm not currently sure whether I'm leaning more towards design or development, but let's say at this stage probably a bit of both. At least initially. I'm more technical than I am creative, but I do like to get the crayons out every so often, so to speak.
So, after that unnecessarily long intro, I have a few questions.
Is web design and web development a career choice likely to hold opportunity into the foreseeable future? I know nobody has a crystal ball, but just hypothetically, is one likely to be able to find jobs are available, either freelance or in-house.
How long, typically, would be a realistic amount of time to set myself to aim for employment (again, either freelance or in-house). 1 year, 2 years? I suppose it is very much a subjective question, but assuming I learn at a reasonable pace and spend a good amount of time actually doing it.
If you were starting from scratch, would you recommend design or development as a more viable career path?
And finally, the most important question:
I think it's safest to say I have zero experience. I did actually explore HTML and CSS a long while ago, and built a very very basic page using it when I wanted to try to set up a portfolio site. This was back in the 2.0 days, and I've probably forgotten 99% of what I learned. That said, I do still understand a lot of the core concepts of HTML/CSS. So, with that in mind, where would you recommend I start?
It's probably worth mentioning that I'm not concerned with the technicalities of things like software or design fundamentals. I've used Creative Suite for many years anyway, and things like design fundamentals and user experience I like to read up on in my spare time.
I should also add that I'm not in this for money. I just want an enjoyable, rewarding career that pays the bills and supports my family! I also want to help rid the web of the awful examples of web design that seem to still remain all too familiar.
So, thanks for reading this mammoth text and I look forward to your comments.
It seems everyone in Web Development has a slightly different background. It is a broad field. Doing both design and backside programming is really too much for one person to do well.In my view, a designer with technical leaning has a big competitive advantage. It allows you to push the limits of what can be done, and operate with more overall competency. I would suggest mastering html/css and studying usability.
It is a field that is continually evolving, and I don't see it shrinking any time soon.
Firstly, I would say that "web designer" and "web developer" as a career no longer exist (as such). Today, they are more of an overarching discipline that contains within it many, many sub disciplines and also that there are many other overarching disciplines and that they have a lot of crossover.
The days of "jack of all trades" is kind of gone; the field is a lot more mature and its massive with loads of different types of solution, platform and even complete industry crossover where skills can apply on, in relation too or even miles away from the web itself.
What would be better for someone starting out would be to first decide on the type of skills you can excel in; such as art, design, creative ideas, user interface or experience design (I lump that separately deliberately), application programming and what-not-else.
Then from that, decide upon the types of application you can apply yourself.
For example; you might have an artistic flare and have really good, unique creative ideas and an understanding or interest in usability and how people interact with user interfaces. You might find how people engage with an application; or how to excite or compel a user to be really interesting; which would lead you possibly down the fields of a user experience designer (a UX designer) either freelance or in an agency.
To take that further, you might find your artistic skill applies to entertainment, maybe games. Or you might find that's where your interests are, which would lead you down a games industry route, either providing to game producers or an agency that works with the gaming industry or maybe even away from the web entirely and into actual games as a UI/UX designer there.
Many thanks for the replies.
Ok, I understand. The state of the industry is really not something I know much about at all so it's good to get a bit of info on the way it currently works.
In terms of where I see myself heading with it, I'm not really sure. At this stage, I think my interests lie somewhere in the middle. I'm certainly not a super-arty-graphics type of person, simply because I don't think I have the creative ideas for wonderfully groundbreaking visuals. I mean, I have the technical skills to piece together an attractive PSD, but creating anything to rival current graphic designers (or web-designers) is unlikely purely from a creative standpoint.
At the other end of it, I really don't think 100% programming is something I'd be into. I certainly like the idea of the technical aspect of things, going a little deeper than the front-end stuff, but I think I'd like to remain involved with the visual ideas at least a little bit.
Of course, that may change when I actually get into doing it.
Also, you mentioned the games industry. I'm pretty sure that's not a field I want to head into. I love playing games, but I think it's unlikely I'd enjoy making them. I have spent a portion of the past few years in my current line of work doing a lot of 3D/CG stuff for architectural visualisation and the like (an example of one of my recent pieces), and it really doesn't interest me enough to want to seek a career in it. I mean, I can respect great game artists, but doing 3D 40 hours a week (or 75 as the case may be ) is really not for me.
EDIT: Ah I see you meant UI design in games. That's certainly a possibility I suppose, I can see how it ties in with web-based UI design, so it could indeed be something worth exploring.
It was an example, I wasn't suggesting it may actually be for you.
If you are interested in the front end from a technical angle then UI/UX fields are crossed over; with the artistic side (design) and the technical side (implementation). You can be a UI or UX developer as opposed to designer. Many fields have a creative and technical opposite.
If you don't really know what you want to do, maybe have a look at the types of site that interest you; peruse the bigger agency websites; particularly their careers/jobs pages and see how the job specs match what interest you. It might give you an idea of the job titles that appeal.
Maybe toy around with some mock sites; build a few things while learning; set yourself a goal; like "I will build such and such a website" - maybe choose a site and copy it; and build it end to end as best you can; learning as you go. You will quickly discover what you do and do not enjoy, what you find comes easy to you and what you struggle with.
Note: Don't choose anything too ambitious else you'll just outright fail.
Of course you could just be a general jack of all trades; designing basic websites; but you'll really limit your earning potential if you do and it will probably get worse.
Yeah I see your point, some great advice there, thanks.
UI stuff might actually be quite a nice balance. I would imagine there's a fair bit of technical stuff there (a lot of games use Scaleform which is based on ActionScript right?), with a focus on interactivity, of course. It's certainly something I'll explore.
I think I'm keen to fit myself into some kind of role, rather than be a jack of all trades as you say. At this stage though I guess it's too difficult to tell.
In any case, thanks again for your advice!
I come from a construction background. I was a contractor for as long as I can remember. I too am in the process of starting a new career in web design. I was interested in computers back in the '70s and went to school for it and got my A.S. in data processing. I dappled with it a little in 07-08 as far as internet marketing. My present attempt started last May taking online courses in web design. I just finished the introductory version of my portfolio last week. Still looking forward to landing my first job that isnt work Im doing for myself. I dont pay very well. There are a lot of crossovers in implementation. Its getting to know the medium that is the challenge. I hope I can get as good with building websites as I was at building buildings. I dont saw anymore, I slice. I dont pour foundations, I code templates. Ive gone from 3D to 2D and its a lot less physical.
If I were you just take online courses. Borrowing money for an education is becoming an outdated means of gaining knowledge in my opinion. Everything you need to know is right at your fingertips and a lot of it is free.
I learned my HTML and CSS. Got real familiar with Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Illustrator. Then I spent some time building my portfolio site.
The way I see it is the web developer is more like the architect and the designer is like the builder. Except in this case ether will hire the other as subs.
Your insight that maybe you should learn a new career is a good one unless you have saved enough to retire. I wish you the best of luck.
Thanks for the reply!
It's surprising how many people I hear about who've left the construction industry (from various backgrounds) in favour of other industries.
Thanks for the suggestions, I totally agree about the online education. There's such a wealth of info available now to everyone at a relatively low cost.
I'm currently working through a HTML/CSS book familiarizing myself with that first, I'm actually really enjoying it. Writing HTML/CSS seems to come quite naturally, whether the same will be said for programming remains to be seen but for now, things are going well.
Thanks again.
Here is a site I found that was of help to me. Still is.
I would have to disagree with you about the benefits of that site. www.w3fools.com explains why.
There are plenty of good resourses available, some of which are listed on the w3fools site. You could try:http://code.google.com/edu/submissio...ss-javascript/http://www.opera.com/company/education/curriculum/http://www.htmldog.com/guides/http://www.iraqtimeline.com/maxdesign/basicdesign/The SitePoint Reference is also helpful.

From the sounds of it, front-end development would be ideal. As a "modern" Web Designer (and it's true that this term is becomming rather blurry and outdated), you need to be good with quite a lot. You need to know how to design visually, this means graphic user interfaces for the web, for the mobile web, sometimes even for local apps.
You need to know HTML and CSS, you need to know JavaScript, you'll need to know some of the more popular libraries in various languages, you should know at least one CMS well (though knowing at least two or three would be beneficial) which means you'll also need to have a basic understanding of a programming language, and you need a good understanding of design itself, from visual grammar, to geometry, trigonometry, drawing, skecthing, typography and lots more.
So, being a front-end designer (I'd say engineer is much more apt) you'll get a bit of both worlds, you can exhaust bost sides of the brain to your liking.
I think it's an exciting field to be in, and while the tools and methods are everchanging, designing and engineering isn't going anywhere. The "how" will likely change but the fundamentals will remain.
:agree: I couldn't have said it better myself even if I tried... and I didn't try
