Is Mandatory DNP by 2015 a Done Deal? - page 3
I am aware that the AACN has issued a position statement recommending a DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) to be necessary to work as a new NP as of 2015. I wonder however, does the AACN have the... Read More
Feb 21, '13A common response from many although I have not seen a reference to support. Have you looked at the number of NP faculty positions? The number of open positions increases every year. I have talked with NP faculty, most are not there teaching secondary to the big $$$. I do know that most faculty make less teaching as compared to practicing full time. there may be some programs, both MS and DNP that are money makers? Thinking more likely those are the private and online programs, although I have not seen the evidence. The cost is usually significantly higher as compared to public universities
Feb 23, '13I wish it was a done deal.. Even though is not, many schools in many states are already moving toward that direction... limiting the opportunities for MSN options
Feb 23, '13There are only 3 ways for the DNP to become mandatory, I believe at least two of them have been mentioned. In any case:
1. National credentialing agencies require DNP for certification
2. State BONs require DNP for licensing
3. Universities stop offering MSN level NP degrees
Any one of the three action can make the DNP, more or less, mandatory. So far none of the three have happened or are planned to happen. I actually know of a few universities that have no plans of offering entry level DNP degrees.
Feb 23, '13The most important reason is missing.
If the DNP becomes a requirement for reimbursement.Recall why the MSN became the standard level of education for the NP.
In addition, I have listened to a ANCC representative suggest the DNP may be required. The DNP will never happen supporters hear what they want to hear.Follow the DNP discussion since 2004, I have never seen nursing move so quickly to embrace a degree. Compare to any other nursing degree, the level of maturation for the DNP has no peers.Last edit by Esme12 on Aug 14, '13 : Reason: Formatting
Feb 23, '13I suppose that's true, but it seems more unlikely than the other three. OTOH I gave up predicting the future a long time ago.
Feb 23, '13Money for the schools, not the practitioner. Oh, and by the way, why the heck would I give a reference to support if I'm simply giving an opinion on a forum?
Apr 10, '13There are plenty of schools that had planned to transition to the DNP but have now decided to keep their MSN programs. Top schools continue to offer the MSN NP programs and are actively recruiting into those programs. The DNP as it currently exists is NOT a clinical degree and is not exclusive to NP's. Many DNP programs focus on education or leadership and don't even offer an NP track!
Apr 18, '13The school I am enrolled in, Frontier, is switching to the DNP But giving students a MSN allowing them to qualify to test for the FNP before their DNP is completed.
Apr 18, '13Quote from fullefect1I know I've heard of a few other schools with online programs doing this too (MUSC!) I think that if a DNP is ever going to be required, following Frontier or MUSC's set up is the best way to go to attract people to attending the program. I hope to go to one of these schools for my FNP. How do you like it thus far?The school I am enrolled in, Frontier, is switching to the DNP But giving students a MSN allowing them to qualify to test for the FNP before their DNP is completed.
May 21, '13As someone who is looking into grad school and researching this topic, I am finding that most schools are pushing the DNP option because it translates as more $$$ to them. However, when researching job availabilities, I have found 0 job postings requiring a DNP. So, I think it is safe to assume that you can go with the MSN NP route for now and once this whole DNP dust settles, if it is a requirement, we'll all have to move towards this pursuit.
Aug 7, '13It is true that nurses commonly function at a level other disciplines do only with higher degrees. In other words, a Critical Care ASN, let alone a BSN, both do work that a Bachelor's-degreed person in another field wouldn't be allowed to touch. This means that while doing their actual jobs, often they rub elbows at the higher levels of practice/education/research with other disciplines carrying higher credentials, and despite their knowledge level, therefore have lower status in a degree-besotted medical community.
What isn't acknowledged is how much of the post-graduation experiential learning takes place in nursing and other medical fields, and therefore how much is learned after the initial credential....this is just not true of dentistry, PT or other fields where the experience matters, but does not triple the knowledge level in just a few years. The only parallels are in disciplines which have similarly wide areas of clinical focus, such as medicine itself and, perhaps, a paramedic working in the city. You have to "see it all and do it all", with a very wide scope.
The difference in doctors and nurse or PA training is that the doctors do those 10,000 hours before graduation, and the nurses and PAs do them on the job, earning about what the medical student does in his/her stipend, though the nurse gets paid by an employer. (Well, actually, the PA who is not a hospitalist will not be gaining those "see it all" hours in primary care; those you see in the acute care environment. But that's another topic.)
Please understand, I am not comparing nursing and medicine as being the same discipline; on the contrary, I feel strongly that they are very different disciplines except in hospitalist work, where the philosophy and perspective are different, but the body of knowledge and experience demanded is quite similar. In most of AP Nursing, it is a different type of practice altogether, with only a bit more overlap than, say, a chiropractor has with medicine. Market forces cause most APNs to assume demi-doctor roles too often, and put too little emphasis on holistic care, patient educations, etc.
What is also often ignored is the fact that the average MSN program is considerably longer than a Master's degree in many other fields, and often requires the nurse to have 2 years of post-licensure practice before even applying to an NP program. Thus you have a BSN + 2 years of additional paid on-the-job training (4000 hours), plus 2.5 average years of post-grad education, plus the minimum 500-600 supervised hours. So the graduate has the undergrad clinical hours, plus 4000 basic RN practice hours, plus 550-700 supervised APN hours, or close to 6000 in all.
Of course, some have many more years of nursing practice in several different areas, such as dialysis, or oncology....each representing quite a residency. Even though those do not include the APN perspective, the amount of useable experience about the workings and behavior of sick bodies and minds and families under stress is huge—and irreplaceable. (In contrast, other primary-care disciplines such as medicine LEAVE that intensity after graduation, not go there for the start of, let alone the rest of, their careers. Which may be why some can honestly say, "I've forgotten more than you'll ever know." Precisely.)
Furthermore, what makes the internship/residency so valuable, whether paid or not, is that it DOES take place after the basic framework of knowledge is present upon which to build. New experiences strengthen and add to what has already been learned, and make it easier to comprehend future novel experiences. That exponential growth type of learning happens faster every year, and that is why entering a graduate program with a few years of nursing experience makes for much more learning in the same 600 hours than for the students who don't have it. (An one legitimate reason why experienced nurses rightfully scorn highly-educated nurses who don't recognize that, or whom have never worked in acute care.)
But the bottom line is you have: BSN + 2 yrs experience, + 2.5-3 years for the MSN=8.5-9 years for the APRN, plus—what? another 2 or more years for the DNP?
What this means is that the MSN was ALREADY devoting the time and the money to be considered well-educated practitioners...but without the "scholarly" and research additional focus, and training or didactic /formal additional clinical training. This left them handicapped and disrespected....but having spent as much time, effort and funds on their "just a Masters" degrees as doctorates have in many other disciplines.
Now, how does that resemble the Associate-degreed nurse doing critical care, back in the days when "mandatory BSN" was coming? Yep—the problem is not primarily that nurses are under-educated....it's a very sexist problem: The nurses educations are mislabeled, under-RATED, and under-RECOGNIZED.
Consider how little education a medical doctor has in research and evaluation of EB medicine. Far less than does a student of psychology, for example. Do we look down on them because they are not dually-degreed PhD/MDs? No, they learn that in practitioner-update seminars after they enter practice—but we instantly cower in shame and hurry to make amends, if we as APNs are scorned because we also lack that focus in our degree plan.
So the "old school" APN is lacking in well-roundedness when it comes to understanding EBP? The MSN programs need to dump some (not add on even more with the DNP) of the extensive repetition of 4th-year- BSN courses about public policy, health care legislation, administration, reimbursement...and make the DNP a clinical degree—albeit one with lots of ability to evaluate and add to the fund of EBP knowledge. What's so hard about that? Are we training lobbyists, administrators, researchers-- or clinicians? Aren't those other roles why we have the other MSNs and PhDs?
Yes, make the MSN the door to "clinical leader", and the fork in the road t research, clinical practice, administrator, or policy activist—the doctoral roles. Grandfather the previously-educated ones not just out of necessity and fairness or even generosity, but because they learned on the job what will be spoonfed to incoming generations, as is often the case in a rapidly-developing field. (Honor pioneers, don't scorn them as old-school! Duh: They are why the role exists!) That's not what is happening, though.
What do we do? Instead of reworking/renaming and improving what we have, we hurry to stuff it with even more (now officially doctoral-level) "filler" courses—about 3 year's worth, actually-- that don't add clinical knowledge or much discernment for EBP development, but do add "education units" and money and time to the "new APN" DNP degree. Those filler courses—looking like just what they are-- also make us look foolish and lacking in self-respect, when the intent is just the opposite. They make us look stupid, in that when we feel under-educated for a role we already play, our solution is to dash out and add useless NON-clinical filler, and hit our pioneering and hopeful APRNs over the head with the new "standards" and accompanying costs.
No, nursing should long ago have made the basic APRN entry degree a DNP, but before they padded the MSN with so much time and money!
Now, in order to simply recognize the expertise the APRN has, and credential nurses accordingly, we won't just correct the APRN educational programs to include the necessary extra foci of research, etc. Nor will the 1 or 2-year pre-grad school practice recommendation be incorporated instead as part of the formal degree plan, as it perhaps should be. Instead, a correction will mean adding even more time and money. No 8-year doctorate for nursing! It's 9-10 years or bust for us—Never mind we'll never be able to pay off the loans, given what APNs make in most places.
The DNP should not pile on top of the existing MSN practitioner programs; it really SHOULD replace them for clinical practice areas. The "grandfathering" that is needed is simple recognition that current APNs with MSNs already have the DNP, minus (in some but certainly not all cases) some catch-up knowledge in the areas of research, EBP evaluations, etc.
It should not add more bloat and administrative/philosophical/nursing theoretical "filler" to an already bloated Master's program, and worst of all, offer very little increased CLINICAL expertise! No wonder other professions sometimes make fun of nursing's scramble to attain equality; it's too obvious, and it shows poor self-image. Ironically, this is just what the "new consensus model" is supposed to fix. We're visibly "trying too hard" instead of demanding recognition for what we already are asked to do—and do quite competently, thank you!—as we always have at the ASN, BSN, and MSN—and yes, LPN-- levels. To be fair, we must say that many an LPN knows more on some medical and psychiatric topics than does many a practitioner of other disciplines with BS and MD degrees. I know; I've worked with them!
What is needed during the transition is a post-APN DNP "bridge", not a 5-year DNP for BSNs, nor a 2-3 year DNP on top of the 6-7 (including those 2 RN practice years) already demanded!
You just won't get nurses to spend 12-plus years and 140 k on educations earning 80-90k, doing whatever the AMA wants to allow them to do (i.e.; the high-volume, low-knowledge, boring but bread-and-butter essential "leftovers" in medical care), while skimming off 75% of their earnings, and complaining that NPs are shamefully under-educated MD-wannabees! We need an eight-year (top to bottom) Advanced-Practice doctoral program.... and stronger education for the public about what is medicine and what isn't.
(You younger nurses may not know that in the 1950's only doctors drew blood, started IVs, inserted tubes in any orifice, etc. Now, of course, LPNs do those things, and technicians, too. Likewise, its a ridiculous red herring to refer to primary care by APRNs as medicine-only territory, or to claim that RNs who do advanced nursing, AND can provide those very basic services along with the more important work of education etc, (i.e. nursing!) are trying to be demi-doctors. )
It's an insult to the intelligence of the public and the practitioner. Adding the DNP on as just extra money and hours or "term papers due" (whether as a 2nd post-grad degree, or a straight-shot from the BSN) instead of reworking the current programs to a more reasonable time frame and cost, is a mistake. Instead of boosting the APRN up to a higher level of prestige and recognition more in line with what he/she actually does, it's reaching down from the Ivory Tower to yank her up by the collar, "Get your act together! Can't you see that little old MSN is demeaning us real nursing scholars?!"
Aug 7, '13I should clarify (re primary care) by "education" I meant patient (not nursing student) education, a much more important function of "real nursing" than dispensing antibiotics for a sore throat, although that is important, too. It's just that it is no more invasion of "exclusively medical doctor territory" to provide basic medical diagnostics and treatment that it was for the first nurses who inserted an NG tube back in the 60s.
Much of what made such care primary care activities as diagnosing anemia or strep throat or diabetes "medicine" is now done by other departments and software anyway. (How do you know you have anemia? The automated blood cell counter says so!)
Ironically, the hands-on provider such as a the APN who can't prescribe tests as quickly and easily gains diagnostic skill and intuition by having to examine, listen, and think more deeply before automatically ordering a bunch of tests, and so may be a better and more cost-effective diagnostician than someone who has been trained to run the gamut, mainly for liability reasons. But nurses who will do these basic formerly-medical services can still be more nurses than doctors, equally qualified, but in a different field, that just overlaps enough to allow them to do so conveniently as part of a larger, more holistic service. (How did that kind of anemia happen, and what can you do about it? "Let me explain...")
Much of primary care nursing is medical holistic health assessment, education and coaching for patients and their families. In the meantime, much PCP care is becoming, for workload and liability reasons, triage to specialists' care, or to their own "mid-level practitioner's" care--and my PCP, for one, is very frustrated by this!
Doctors already have "junior MDs"--partners with the equivalent of a medical school degree (with first-year internship) behind them, but who are unable ever to advance through their own residencies to independence. They're called PAs, and having chosen to stop at that level in medicine, they are the ones to rightfully maintain the role of "doctor's right hand", with all the privileges and limitations thereof.Last edit by unplannedRN on Aug 7, '13 : Reason: clarification/correct spelling

Can't pass up an opportunity to post a great pic of Betty White. She's the subject of one of PBS' "Pioneers of Television" docus set to air in the winter and spring '08 on the pubcaster. I did a lengthy sit-down with Betty in 2000 when she was marking her 50th year in television, and I can confirm that she is as lovely, gracious, funny and sharp as you'd hope Betty White would be. She's only piled up about 25 credits since then, from voice-over work on "King of the Hill" to semi-regular stints on "That '70s Show" and "Boston Legal" and now the CBS soap "The Bold and the Beautiful." Once her career got going in the early-early 1950s, when she was on the air live for five hours on weekday mornings, spinning records, riffing on the day's news and generally shooting the breeze on KLAC-TV (better known today as KCOP-TV Los Angeles), Betty has never stopped. She's an inspiration; we should all be in such good shape if we're fortunate enough to see our 85th birthdays (as Betty did on Jan. 22). To me she's not just a pioneer of television, she's the reigning first lady of television.

The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.

I intend to upgrade the hard drive in my z60m and have created the ISO disk for checking for HDD firmware updates. I also checked on my current drive that it works.
I intend to install Windows on the new hard drive using the restore disks, after which I will manually install updates for all the drivers and also all the files I use routinely.
My question is, at what point should I use the ISO HDD firmware update program? I was thinking to install the new hard drive and then run the firmware update software before installing the OS from the restore disks. Is this right, or should I run the HDD firmare update after I've installed the factory image onto the new hard drive?
Updating of firmware can be done at any time from a bootable CD before installation of the OS. You can also choose to update it at any time after installations. There isn't much difference.
how can we improve it?

|Sean O'Donnell's Predictions
That's right. We have an all-SEC final.
Yes, Connecticut matches up nicely against Florida. After all, Shabazz Napier and Co. were one of just two teams to defeat the Gators earlier this season. How did they do it? On a Napier buzzer-beater:
Since that contest, Florida has only improved as a team. Scottie Wilbekin has come into his own as a leader and conductor of the team's on-court actions.
The Gators have multiple ways of earning a victory. The team's big men dominate the glass on both ends of the court. Florida's perimeter shooting has been stellar of late. Defensively, this team remains one of the best in the nation.
Florida is simply a very well-rounded squad.
The same can be said for the Kentucky Wildcats.
Five freshmen lead the way here, and this is a very different team from earlier in the season.
Throughout the 2014 NCAA tournament, we've seen this group of young players mature right before our very eyes. They have jelled as a unit and have created an extremely high level of chemistry.
Like the Gators, the Wildcats' versatility is what makes them so special.
Julius Randle and Co. are so very dominant down low. This team out-rebounds everyone on both ends of the court. It is extremely aggressive with the ball in hand as well, driving to the glass and putting up big numbers in the paint.
It's the same story from behind the arc, as Aaron Harrison has shown his ability to drop buckets from all over the court.
Wisconsin is a great team; however, it has been solely relying on the skill set of Frank Kaminsky to win games lately. The Badgers simply aren't deep enough to contain all of the Wildcats' budding stars.

That Awesome Lenovo Pocket Yoga Netbook From Earlier This Morning? Not a Product
Sadly, the folks at Lenovo's design department have outed the Pocket Yoga as a two-year-old concept. Why photos of it showed up on a Lenovo Flickr stream earlier today is anyone's guess, but as of now, they're denying that this is an actual upcoming product. Boo. [Lenovo Design Matters]

A couple weeks ago, I received an email from a concerned mom wanting to tackle the issue of food rewards at her child's school:
"I've been reading your blog this morning and just wanted to say thanks for all you're sharing here. I'm currently building my own case against food rewards in class. I wrote a letter to our superintendent about the concerns I have with the use of food rewards in the school and now she wants to meet to talk about it. I don't want to blow this opportunity to make a valid case to the powers that be. Do you have any experience taking on the school about this issue? Any advice as I head into this meeting? Thanks!" ~Lisa
Funny that she should ask! For those who haven't been following my blog from the beginning, here's a little background: Last winter, I grew frustrated with all the classroom parties and food rewards at my son's elementary school. I decided to approach the school principal about it—but before doing so, I did my homework. I wanted to have all my ducks in a row before talking to him. Like Lisa, I really wanted my voice to be heard and knew that this was my best shot. Based on my research and what I've since learned , I put together these tips for Lisa, who met with her superintendent and principal last week (and I'll let you know how it went in a minute!):
1) Check your school district wellness policy In accordance with the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004, all school districts participating in the federally funded school meals program must have a written policy that addresses nutrition and physical activity. With very little effort, I found a copy of ours on the school district's website. Arming yourself with the "official policy" (and I suggest printing it out and having it available to show school officials!) will show that you're prepared and that your request is in line with the district's stated goals. In other words, you're not some crazy anti-sugar crackpot—you merely want the school to live up to its promise.
2) Keep it positive Lest you rub people the wrong way or be branded a troublemaker, start by offering some glowing words about the school. Tell the superintendent how much your child loves it or praise a certain part of the curriculum or a favorite teacher. When you're ready to get down to business, be sure to phrase your request in a positive way: Say something like, "I'd love to see the school encouraging healthy rewards as outlined in the district wellness policy" instead of "Teachers shouldn't be giving out candy!" or "I don't understand why the class is being rewarded with junk food!" Put yourself in your superintendent's shoes and try not to say anything that will offend him or her.
3) Build your case Prepare a few talking points on the downsides of food rewards (for example, they can heighten kids' desire for sweets, teach them to reward or comfort themselves with food, and interfere with their internal hunger cues, etc.). In your meeting, be sure to make the link between food and behavior. Kids have more trouble focusing and behaving in class after downing a lot of junk or sugar. The last thing educators want is unruly children who are too hyped up to pay attention!
4) Rally the troops Try to find like-minded parents to back you up. Power in numbers! If they won't come with you to the meeting, ask them to send an email—and even offer to draft it for them. A lot of parents who may care about this issue may just be too busy to take an active role. If nothing else, at least tell the superintendent that you've spoken to other parents who share your opinion.
5) Offer solutions School officials are busy people with lots on their plate. So make the idea of making changes as easy as possible for them! Come in with ideas for non-food rewards that could be used in place of treats and candy. (100 Days of Real Food—one of my absolute favorite websites—recently put out a list of that is so creative and comprehensive that I'm just going to send you there for a printable copy.)

Stacy Whitman is the author of the blog "School Bites: One Mom's Crusade for Better Nourished Kids at School (and at Home!)". After getting fup with the food situation at her son's elementary school she took action and started a wellness committee.

Laminate is a floor covering product used to resemble hardwood flooring. It is made from planks comprised of a composite base topped with a printed paper top layer. This product is frequently used in homes to finish floors in kitchens, hallways and living areas. When laminate butts against another floor covering, such as within a doorway, a transition strip is used to mask the joint.
Transition strips are used to create a smooth, seamless transition between two different flooring areas. They help create a pleasing appearance between a laminate and carpet floor, and also prevent dirt and debris from collecting in the gap between the two materials. Transition strips also prevent trips and falls caused by differences in floor elevation, and can make it easier to roll wheeled objects, including wheelchairs, between the two surfaces.
These transition strips are made from aluminum, wood or laminate products. Some are designed to fit within prefabricated tracks in a flooring system, such as those designed by Armstrong. Others can be used in a variety of scenarios, and can be cut to fit any area. In commercial applications, flooring transitions are closely regulated to ensure safe access for disabled individuals. Depending on the application, the height, width, slope and material of the transition must conform to standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
T Molding
A T molding is used to transition between floor coverings that are roughly the same height. This is common between two laminate floors, or between a laminate and hardwood floor. This molding has a vertical base that rests on the subfloor between the two floor finishes. The two sides of the "T" rest on the laminate floor on either side, and are held in place using nails or screws.
Reducer Strip
A reducer strip is used to transition between a laminate floor and one with a lower elevation. This is common in homes where laminate flooring meets vinyl or linoleum floor coverings, or when one subfloor is thicker than the adjoining one. The reducer is similar to a T molding, but features a relatively sharp slope of one edge of the "T." This edge rests on top of the lower floor covering, and the entire transition strip is usually fastened only into the laminate.
Carpet End Cap
A carpet end cap is used between carpet and laminate transitions, but also between laminate and a door frame or other vertical surface. It closely resembles a regular threshold, with one end formed into a T shape that rests on the laminate, while the other end is vertical. The vertical edge is tall enough to rest on the subfloor while keeping the top of the strip level. When installed adjacent to carpet, the carpet is tucked under this vertical edge to secure it in place.

Los Merengues legend calls for 'fighting spirit'...
The Argentinian, whose playing career spanned 23 years, spoke to the club's website ahead of their Champions League opener away to FC Zurich.
"We have a squad with great quality. If we can maintain that fighting spirit that we have shown in the early stages, we will have a team that can win many titles," commented the man known as 'Saeta Rubia', the 'blonde arrow'.
The legend was no stranger to success in his time, as during an illustrious eleven year career at Madrid he won eight league titles and was an integral part of the Blancos side that captured the first five European Cup crowns, starting in 1955/56.
The prolific marksman scored 266 goals in 342 appearances for Madrid in all competitions, including 50 in 60 European games, and finished as Pichichi five times in six seasons.

Grey's Anatomy's Chyler Leigh has baby girl
There's only one more episode of Grey's Anatomy left this season, and that means there's only one more episode of closeups on very pregnant Chyler Leigh's face (that's Lexie to you). But the better news is that the 27-year-old has popped in real life, giving birth to her third child, Anniston Kae.
People says the actress had the baby just seven days after filming wrapped on Grey's fifth season. The girl weighed 7 pounds, 1 ounce and "both mother and child are healthy," a rep said.
Leigh has two other kids with husband and actor Nathan West: Noah, 5, and Taelyn, 2. The couple has been married for seven years.

FNSW Regional Roadshow hits Riverina
The 2016 Football NSW Regional Roadshow series kicked off earlier this week as the Riverina Branch was hit with football fever.
Football NSW Community Coach Education Manager Oscar Gonzalez and MiniRoos Game Development Officer Ed Ferguson set off late last Sunday in time for a series of school visits in Albury on Monday morning.
Lavington Public School were the first of many school visits organised throughout the week.
Lavington sits one town over from Albury and the Football NSW staff members were met by passionate football coach and champion within the Albury-Wodonga region Fiona Smith.
Throughout the morning, a total of 100 students between Years 1 to 6 from Lavington Public School ran amok on the school grounds with all students hooked by the fun games on offer, taking their learning outside the class room with the focus on teamwork and decision making present in all exercises.
In what were touching scenes, a number of the students penned together their thoughts on what was a fantastic day enjoyed by all.
"I really enjoyed the football clinic. I was with Ed and we played a game called Sharky", said Carl.
"I liked my team mates, it was cool to have them visit our school.
"I met Oscar and Ed, it was nice of them to give us a prize," stated an excited young Molly."
After a morning at Lavington Public School, the roadshow moved onto The Scots College Albury along with a sharp rise in the day's temperature, hitting 37 degrees at 1pm.
With the weather too hot for outdoor activity, the Football NSW Coaches and Scots College Head of Sports Dave Smith moved their session inside to the state of the art indoor, air conditioned multi-purpose hall.
With the help of Year 11 Sports students from The Scots College a total of 95 Year 3 to 6 students were engaged in fun football exercises and games.
Dave Smith's Year 11 students were tasked throughout the afternoon to create, engage and deliver activates and games to teach their younger counterparts the key skills involved in football with guidance from both Football NSW Coaches.
Day 1 of the Riverina Roadshow finished off with a MiniRoos engagement with all clubs fielding MiniRoos teams with the Albury-Wodonga FA and a Coach Education workshop by Oscar Gonzalez focused for players 13 years and over.
A special thanks go to Albury-Wodonga FA volunteers, coaches and club members who made the evening a success and players from AWFA who volunteered their time as guinea pigs in the MiniRoos activation and Coach Education workshop.

Forget about weapons of mass destruction, what about weapons of media destruction.
With one tweet — Breaking: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured — the group that calls itself the Syrian Electronic Army sent the Dow into a nose dive last week. It quickly recovered when it was explained that AP's Twitter account had been hacked, but the faux alert rattled nerves and trading accounts.
"The aim of the SEA is to generate publicity," an analyst told The Guardian, the latest victim of its Twitter hacks. The regime supporters have gone phishing for NPR, the BBC and "60 Minutes" and have defaced the home pages of Al Jazeera and Reuters.
It's worth noting that Bashar Assad's wife, Asma, has a college degree in computer science. Her husband was not only a computer geek, he was the head of the Syrian Computer Society who clicks too often on the PC-Mac simile.
He was eager to tell Vogue — in its tin-ear, March 2011 profile of his "glamorous, young, and very chic" first lady — that when he met Asma, "I was Mac and she was PC!"
In an October 2011 interview with the Daily Telegraph, he sought to portray himself as progressive as any leader in Europe or America.
Comparing Syria's leadership with that of a Western country, he said, was like comparing a Mac with a PC. "Both computers do the same job, but they don't understand each other," he said.
Even though Assad is a nerd, he and his tech savvy coterie have been compromised. Opposition activists managed to get hold of the Assads' user names and passwords and leaked roughly 3,000 of their personal emails to The Guardian in March 2012. The messages showed how Assad was becoming "increasingly reliant on media advice from a group of young, westernized Syrian expats. Most are women." One twenty-something devotee trolled Facebook to find negative posts about the regime and its brutal crackdown. She passed along the names to Assad, bemoaning the fact that most anti-regime posters used noms de guerre.
It's doubtful Assad's social media harem is behind SEA. But the group still has strong ties to Assad. Helmi Noman, a senior researcher at the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto, told CNN that SEA's domain name was registered to the Syrian Computer Society and that "it's hosted on the network of the Syrian government." SEA hackers are well-paid and based not in Syria, but in Dubai, according to opposition activists.

A WOMAN who has been involved in the girl guiding movement since the late 1970s has been appointed as district commissioner for Sedgefield.
Joanne Lazenby, who lives in Darlington, will be responsible for over 180 girls, aged five to 16, in Rainbow, Brownie and Guiding units across the district.
"Guiding gave me incredible opportunities as a young girl," said the 43-year-old. I got involved in so many activities, from climbing to cooking, outdoor adventures and overseas travel and also gained a great sense of independence.
"It's so good to be able to offer the same opportunities and much more to young girls now in my new role as district commissioner."
Ms Lazenby, who works as a warranty administrator for Darlington Vauxhall dealer Sherwoods, added: "We still do the traditional badges but there are a lot more technology based challenges on offer as well as more daring sporting activities and global expeditions.
"It's not just about cooking and sewing anymore even though that is still a big part of what a lot of the girls choose to do."

Countervailing that is the Python Cookbook, which used to default to the Python license and moved to an explicit, enumerated set of licenses accompanied by a strong recommendation for the MIT license.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (Oct. 25)
A resolution which would bring to a conclusion the Security Council's consideration for the past two weeks of Israel's current complaint against Syria was expected today to be presented to the Council at a session tomorrow by at least two sponsors, the United States and Britain, with the possible co-sponsorship of one or more of the smaller members. The resolution, it is expected, will definitely name Syria and will probably call on Syria to take action to prevent future raids into Israel of the type of which Israel has complained.
Intense huddling was under way here today among the leading Western members of the Council in an effort to obtain agreement on a text which would, in effect, accept Israel's thesis that the El Fatah guerrilla raids were not individual incidents but were part of a general organized pattern.
This point is expected to imply clearly that the El Fatah raids can not be viewed in the narrow terms in which they were confined by the report to the Council from Lt. Gen. Odd Bull, chief of staff of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization. The main concern of those drafting the text is to produce the best possible text which would obtain the widest sponsorship and could be passed by the Council's necessary majority of nine members. For that reason, it was predicted, the resolution would avoid using the term "condemn" in referring to Syria.
It was understood that the sponsors were more anxious to get the nine votes than they were to avoid a certain Soviet veto if the final text was unacceptable to the Arab-Soviet bloc.
The cancelation of the scheduled Council meeting today was caused by the fact that, without a draft resolution, the meeting today could have resulted only in further "general debate" without any results. There is no likelihood that the Council would reach the voting stage on the resolution tomorrow. At least two or three more meetings will have to be held before voting takes place. One of the first speakers on tomorrow's list will be Jordan's Ambassador Muhammad H. El-Farra, the only Arab member of the Council. Thus far, he has not spoken once on the substantive stakes at issue, leading to the belief here that his Government at Amman has not allowed him to take Syria's side outright in the present dispute.

A month ago, I came across a sad, somewhat mysterious obituary in the San Francisco Chronicle. It told of the death on March 20 of Charles McCue, the former producing artistic director of the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival. He had been involved with the company since its first season in 1983. The obituary said he had been homeless for five years and died on a sidewalk in the Mission District in San Francisco. He was 51.
I was, of course, struck by the unlikely juxtaposition of someone who had once been a leader of an important theatrical troupe dying homeless on the street. Many of the comments attached to the obituary expressed a similar sentiment.
"How does a creative, dedicated, energetic guy like this die a homeless person?'' read one comment.
"What Shakespearean tragedy,'' read another. "The man who helped bring free Shakespeare to suburbia is left to wander the streets and die like a modern-day Lear. How could this happen?''
What further piqued my curiosity was that there was a Tampa Bay connection to the story. McCue, the obituary said, had been raised in St. Petersburg and went to the University of South Florida. Nobody in the local theater community that I asked remembered him, though USF had a record of his taking theater classes in the early 1980s.
I wrote a note about McCue's death and asked readers to get in touch with me if they knew anything about him. The response was almost overwhelming. I was touched by the depth of emotion in e-mails and phone calls I received from his friends and classmates at Seminole High School.
Charlie McCue was president of his 1976 senior class, member of the Seminole Singers chorus and the drama club, delegate to Boys State, chairman of the Students Rights and Responsibilities Committee. He had a part-time job as a cook at a Howard Johnson on Redington Beach, where his sister, Betty, was the restaurant manager. He was selected to serve as a page in the Florida Senate in 1976.
One old friend provided a Web link that led me to a story in which McCue was profiled in the St. Petersburg Times, featuring a photo of him as a handsome young man.
"I attended Seminole Junior High, Seminole High School and St. Pete Jr. College with Charlie, and he was one of my dearest friends,'' Dianne M. Johns wrote. "He was funny and talented and down-to-earth. I last saw him at our 20-year high school reunion, and he was doing well in his career, and seemed very happy. . . . I am heartbroken that he met with hard times and didn't reach out to any of us from his past. He was an awesome person.''
Kimberly Viverette remembered dating him. "He took me to the Kapok Tree and Steak & Ale for dinner. One night he had just bought Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life cassette and sang to me in his car. To a 16-year-old girl, on a date with a senior that was tall, dark and so much more sophisticated than the other boys, he left such an impression on me.''
Debbie Rahn had warm memories of his singing Green-Eyed Lady in state competitions and Wilkommen from Cabaret with the Seminole Singers. Dave Yopp recalled McCue shaving his head to be in The King and I.
"Charlie was so smart and funny and talented,'' wrote Karen Conkel, who knew him from sixth grade on. "Why oh why was he homeless? Breaks my heart. If we had only known. Thank you, Charlie, for all the laughs and the memories. You live on through us always.''
These remembrances got me thinking about how enduring the ties from high school are, and how unpredictable life can be down the road. That such a popular, accomplished person could have such a downfall seemed shocking, until I talked with his brother-in-law, Greg Angermeier.
"From the outside it must look shocking, but Charlie was an alcoholic, and we think drugs were involved, too,'' he told me. "It's a result of the disease. The disease just takes over.''
Greg and his wife, Betty, McCue's older sister, live near Poinciana in Central Florida, but for eight years they lived in San Francisco. They saw McCue go from being married and owning a house and attending meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous to relapsing into substance abuse and ending on the streets. He died of unspecified causes, but foul play was not suspected.
"We tried to help Charlie many times, to get him into a treatment program, but he refused,'' Greg Angermeier said. "His addiction got to the point that we couldn't help him anymore.''
About a week after McCue's death, the Angermeiers and the Shakespeare festival held a memorial for him in Golden Gate Park. Almost 100 people gathered in Bunny Meadow, where performances were given by the troupe in its early years. McCue, acting as emcee, would open each show with his trademark greeting, "Good afternoon, San Francisco . . .''
Toby Leavitt, executive director of the festival, who worked with McCue for four years, spoke at the memorial. "Charlie did everything from selling T-shirts to developing our first summer camp program and starting our school tour, to expanding our venues to communities throughout the bay area,'' she told me. "He was an integral part of the history of this company. It was so hard when he began to have issues around his addictions that led to him moving away from the festival.''
When McCue was homeless, Leavitt said, "You could see him around Mission and 16th fairly regularly. Everybody tried to help him, but you can't help someone who will not accept help.''
Naturally, the memorial drew on Shakespeare in readings from Hamlet and The Tempest. "I think that both of those plays speak to the complex nature of mortality,'' Leavitt said.
On the festival's Facebook page, John Loll paid tribute to McCue with a quote from Julius Caesar:
When beggars die there are no comets seen;
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.
"Look to the skies, friends. I think I can see Charlie's comet.''
Sharon Herbitter, a Seminole High classmate, posted a blog entry titled "Charlie'':
"I will remember Charlie as a young and talented boy, beautiful, with his whole life in front of him,'' Herbitter wrote. "I feel a great loss, although I don't entirely understand why. Maybe because losing him in this way was such a waste. Just a few months ago a couple of friends were asking about him on Facebook — any of us would have helped him if we'd known he needed it (and if we'd known what to do). My prayer today for all of us is to see ourselves with the eyes of love, to recognize our potential, and to do something to make the world a better place. Charlie did that, even while he struggled with his own personal demons.''

|I'd just like to say that although it looks like I'm getting a no-hands kneebar on this climb, it is only for demonstration purposes and that I neither need nor endorse the use of kneebars while climbing (most of the time).

|Don't worry Peter, we all know that you are, in fact, a tough guy, and that tough guys do not use kneebars!

|This climb does not look very good from the ground, but it is sustained and is the best short 5.12 I have done in Boulder Canyon. It would also make a great first 5.12. None of the moves are all that hard, good clipping stances, and the bolts are very close together.
By Bill Wright

This is a great route for your first 5.12. I'm trying to make it my first 5.12. The protection is excellent - you're nearly on a toprope for most of the climb. I really like the variety of moves on this pitch.
The hand jam move at the top is the crux for me. I recommend taping up your left hand. If this move is at your limit (as it is for me), if you fall off this move you'll get a big of a gobie on the back of your hand that will hinder further attempts. Since taping for one jam (there are two other jams that I use on this route, but no tape is necessary there) is a hassle, I wear a Spyder Mitt on just my left hand - sort of the Michael Jackson look. It works great and makes the crux hand much more comfortable and solid. Of course, some of my friends claim this is aid...

|I climbed this route today and had the same experience Bill had. Once you get the jam there is this little something stabbing you in the back of your hand. I myself had no spyder mitt, so for just one moment, I decided to be like that Sven guy that can't pump himself enough on this website, and [very briefly]became more manly. This fleeting infusion of "Sven-focus" allowed me to make the painful pull to the crimp. Bill, when you get back from Yosemite you must make your hand more "Sven-like" but only for just one moment, and the route shall fall! I would suggest a hammer and a small pebble to pound into the back of your hand as initial "Sven-training" for this route.

|I climbed this once a long while back, and unlike the rest of the people talking about this route, I didn't find the top the crux. While that move was really tough, the move that help me up again and again was getting onto the slabby block about 1/2 way up the climb. Maybe I'm just not flexable enough.
By Dan Green

|I actually find no aspect of this route difficult and feel 5.11d is more appropriate. I also feel that the top move is not really painful and using a spyder mitt to do it is gay! Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Skip this comment if you don't want to read beta. I think Its a tricky route for an onsight, but not too bad for the redpoint because you can really learn to milk the rests on this thing if you want to (or in my case need to). No-hands rests are possible at the 3rd, 4th, and 6th bolts, although climbing into the slot at the 6th bolt feels like cheating so I try to avoid it. The hard move at the 5th bolt (what Aron is talking about) is made considerably easier by using an undercling with the left hand -- it never has chalk on it so most people must not do it this way. The hand jam at the 7th bolt is made considerably easier by using a knee bar with right leg to brace the left knee against the left wall. Using these tricks, I don't even need to pretend I'm that Sven dude.
Update 8/16/2007: the secret undercling at the 5th bolt has broken off making this move harder.

|Mama mia, 1-plan good for send too? for 1-plan sending, climbing 1 climb, but only 1-time, no? then climbing 4 climbs, but only 1-time each. In this way, climbing 1-climb, 1-plan, 4-plan, is very. You will find this out.

|For those looking for a little more interest on this excellent route, try it placing gear. I skipped the first two bolts easily with a 1.5 friend at the first crux. I clipped the next two bolts and then placed a good stopper before the reach to the reinforced hold. The next bolt could be skipped but I clipped it and then placed a #3 friend in the last slot at the lip to bypass the last bolt. So in all 3 out of 7 bolts were used and two of these could probably be skipped as well. All the pieces I placed were really good.

Nice work, PB! "Retro-trad" is a classy evolution of the game, countering the forces of gridbolting & general dumbing-down unfortunately so prevalent these days. Kudos to Bob D. and others who still believe in the value of 'mixed' bolts & gear pitches. Placing gear is fun, and high-stakes physics problems with weakening forearms are still at the core of our freaky, wonderful sport...I think.
Have a burning urge to only establish 3 per bodylength bolt ladders? Do us all a favor, and please stay inside.
Just 2 cents.

|Really great. Super well protected, good for folks starting to lead 12s. The glued piece near the top was definitely appreciated.
By Mark Wiranowski

|This climb is much better than it looks and well worth doing - especially if you need a short approach. It is quite beta intensive and would be a very hard onsight. The hand jam at the very top is less painful if done with the right hand. This also sets up well for the top out.

Good but kind of weird route. Onsighting this would be pretty proud, as it is fairly tricky. The lower hand jam shredded my right hand, upper hand jam was ok. Not sure how/where you would jam with your left(?).
I kind of hated this route while I was climbing it. It was hot and greasy, and the climbing isn't really my style. Looking back on it though, it is probably a good route. The climbing is fairly sustained the whole way, with a fairly difficult crux. Rock is solid too.

This one flummoxed me for two sessions until I finally unlocked a crux sequence that worked. I found no way to make the hand-jam feel anywhere near 12a/b. That rattly jam felt much harder. I'm pretty confident in that I found the easiest beta, and it felt like solid 12b to me and my partner. Btw, the fall is clean. The ledges below you look sketchy, although you'll clear them.
I highly recommend this pitch.

|Strange route, 2 stars is a stretch. Blew the onsight because the crack/slot over the final bulge was full of mud.... The hand jam at the top is gross too. Not very satisfying or enjoyable.

"Strange route, 2 stars is a stretch. Blew the onsight because the crack/slot over the final bulge was full of mud.... The hand jam at the top is gross too. Not very satisfying or enjoyable."
There's been a lot of rain recently which would explain the mud. Anyway, you can climb the last crux on the right at a similar grade on face holds avoiding any jams. Sorry you had a tough time on this one.

Judicial Watch Director of Litigation Paul Orfanedes, along with Judicial Watch attorney Julie Axelrod, appeared before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans last Wednesday on behalf Houston police sergeant Joslyn M. Johnson.
Houston, Texas, as you may recall, is a sanctuary city. And here's the principal argument our client is trying to make in court, as described in our original complaint:
Sergeant Johnson challenges current policies, practices, and procedures of the Houston Police Department that substantially restrict, if not prohibit, Plaintiff from communicating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") about illegal aliens who are criminally present in the United States.
Plaintiff does not seek to detain or arrest persons in order to inquire about their immigration status. Rather, Plaintiffs seeks to use her professional judgment to determine when it is appropriate to contact ICE to inquire or provide information about a person's immigration status if, in the course of carrying out her duties and responsibilities as a law enforcement officer, she has reason to believe a crime may have been committed.
Now I say Mrs. Johnson is "trying" to make these arguments because the lower court dismissed the lawsuit before the merits of the case could even be considered. (For more information on the "reason" for this dismissal, please read our latest court filing in the case.)
If Judicial Watch is successful at the appellate court level, the lawsuit would be remanded to the district court level again where Sgt. Johnson could make her case.
This sanctuary policy issue personally affects Sgt. Johnson. Not only because she serves in the Houston Police Department and sees the potential dangers of allowing illegal alien criminals to roam free, but because Mrs. Johnson is also the widow of former Houston police officer Rodney Johnson, who was murdered by an illegal alien during a routine traffic stop on September 21, 2006.
Rodney Johnson was shot and killed by Juan Leonardo Quintero-Perez, a previously deported Mexican national who had reentered and was living in the U.S. illegally. After reentering the U.S. illegally, Quintero-Perez had multiple interactions with the Houston Police Department before shooting and killing Officer Johnson, including at least one arrest for driving under the influence and citations for failing to stop and give information following an accident and driving with a suspended license.
The City of Houston, in many ways, is the poster child for the harm that is caused by illegal alien sanctuary policies. And the harm continues to be devastating. Our investigators recently uncovered the infuriating details behind the murder of yet another police officer in Houston. Our Irene Garcia at JW's Corruption Chronicles reported the details:
A Judicial Watch investigation has discovered that the drunk illegal immigrant who recently killed a Houston police officer had six arrest warrants, multiple encounters with law enforcement and had been caught driving without a license four times.
He also had been cited by police on eight occasions, was ticketed twice in 2009 and had two convictions for unlawful entry into the U.S., according to public records obtained by JW from the Houston Municipal Court. Incredibly, the illegal alien (Johoan Rodriguez) remained free and in late May struck and killed Houston Police Officer Kevin Will.
It marks the fourth time in the last few years that a Houston officer dies at the hands of a previously deported illegal immigrant protected by the city's sanctuary policy, which, among other things, forbids police from inquiring about immigration status. In 2009 an illegal alien from Mexico (Roberto Pedroza Carrillo), who had been ticketed by Houston Police at least four times, killed an undercover police officer during a sting operation.
As long as the Obama administration refuses to police illegal alien sanctuary policies like those in Houston; as long as the Obama administration continues to sue states that seek to protect their citizens from the scourge of illegal immigration (like Arizona and, most recently, Alabama); and as long as the Obama administration continues to lawlessly suspend deportations for illegal alien criminals, expect more violence and more victims.

Windsor city council is throwing its support behind a bid by the Windsor Spitfires to host the 2014 Memorial Cup.
City supports 2014 Memorial Cup bid
Windsor city council is throwing its support behind a bid by the Windsor Spitfires to host the 2014 Memorial Cup.
Council voted this week to have the city sign a letter of understanding with the hockey club, a prerequisite for any bidder vying to host the event.
Next year's junior hockey national championships will be hosted in Ontario, and clubs have until the end of next week to submit bid documents. The Spits, fresh off back-to-back Memorial Cup wins in 2009 and 2010, campaigned to host the tournament in 2011. Windsor last played host in 1981.
This week's agreement makes no financial commitment on the part of the city, administration advised council. The bid documents by the Spitfires remain confidential, but a staff report said they had been reviewed by the city's legal department "to ensure consistency with the existing License Agreement between the City and the Windsor Spitfires."
The municipality will likely contribute something to help sweeten the Spitfires' offer to the judges making the final host-city selection. Mayor Eddie Francis said that, among other things, the city agreed to waive its ticket surcharge for tournament sales at the WFCU Centre as part of the unsuccessful bid to host in 2011. Mississauga won that one.
The potential 2014 hosts will be short-listed in the beginning of March. Presentations follow in April with a winner selected in May prior to this year's MasterCard Memorial Cup being hosted May 17 to 26 in Saskatoon.

Well, why not behave the same way in which wealthy countries do. It's a very simple formula:
Invest in health care & education.
The 3 wealthiest countries in the world by GDP per capita – Luxembourg, Norway & Switzerland, have outstanding healthcare and education systems which are largely government funded.
The two most valuable assets you can ever have are your health and education. If we're healthy we can do anything. If we educate ourselves, we can always find ways to generate income.
For those about to argue about about wealth not being 'economic'…then please refer again to what these countries invest in. Financial wealth is the outcome, not the driver.

Video: Microsoft Realizes The Surface Will Never Beat The IPad, Goes After The MacBook Air Instead
By Clip Syndicate
|Apple may have dumped its Mac vs PC ads a long time ago, but that doesn't mean such ad comparisons are over. It's now Microsoft's time to troll Apple with comparison ads, this time using the Surface Pro 3 to take on one of Apple's most iconic laptops out there in the MacBook Air. The Surface Pro 3 is described as "the tablet than can replace your laptop in all these ads. In the " Power " ad, the message is clear for Microsoft – the Surface Pro 3 can do more than what the MacBook Air can do.

Oscar de la Renta to Host Focus Group
Oscar de la Renta wants to know what their fans are thinking. Erika Bearman, the brand's media personality and senior vice president of global communications, is set to host a focus group next week reports WWD. The company is gearing up to launch a "top secret" product specifically aimed for cyber space and the twist? Bearman will select the participants via Twitter.
Following Oscar de la Renta's pre-fall runway show in New York City Monday evening, Bearman tweeted to her almost 168,000 Twitter followers: "beauties, help me with something? I need a focus group made up of my followers" with a link to her Tumblr page with a message that read, "I need you. I'm working on a top-secret project and I need a focus group. Tweet @OscarPRGirl with the hashtag #shhh in the next 24 hours and tell me why you would be my perfect confidante."
The above message also appeared on the homepage at oscardelarenta.com, and was posted on Facebook and Instagram. "We're working on a product that is going to be targeted to our social audience, so who better to help us make some of the decisions about that product than the people that we're targeting it to?" Bearman said after the show.
So far over 1,000 have applied via Twitter. Bearman and her team plan to narrow it down to a lucky 12 within the next few days for the Dec. 18 focus group. "It's the first time we're doing anything like this, but my feeling is that it's going to be extremely valuable insight," Bearman added, noting that this could be something the brand plans to permanently implement into its digital strategy.

"excellent McNab with well suited narrator"
really enjoyed this story, can see where it was targeted at young adults but really this would be loved by anyone. I thought the narrator was a great fit for Andy's work, he really seemed to channel the way Andy talks in that matter of fact way. excellent.

The IndyCar teams are back on a temporary street circuit, this time in Long Beach. Ryan Hunter-Reay laid down the gauntly to his rivals early including Mike Conway is making a return with RLL.
Long Beach, Calif. – Ryan Hunter-Reay picked up where he left off two weeks ago at Barber Motorsports Park, running first and fast. In preparation for the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, the reigning IZOD IndyCar Series champion had the fastest speed on Friday after two rounds of practice -- 102.054 miles per hour around the 1.968-mile street course.
"It is great to be on top here," the speedster said. "I love Long Beach and this race track. Unfortunately, we didn't get enough work done on the car that we wanted, but we should get it done in the morning."
Hunter-Reay was driving the DHL Chevrolet owned by Andretti Autosport.
Said Conway, the 2011 winner, "It is good to be back. I love this place, the whole event. It is a cool layout."
His speed in the blue Cigs Honda was 101.998 mph. The car is fielded by Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.
Regarding his comeback event, he added, "There were no cobwebs, and I didn't feel rusty. I felt pretty good coming back, and it is good to be fast right away. We got one clear lap in and I think a lot of people got one or they didn't get any, so we were lucky to get the one."
The absence of clear laps and prolonged runs was thwarted by a series of crashes that involved Scott Dixon, Justin Wilson and Simona de Silvestro and a lesser incident spin by Sebastian Saavedra.
"I just lost it on entry (into turn 9) and chased it into the wall. It was my fault," Dixon said, indicating his car had been acceptable before that.
Prior to the Dixon accident Wilson made contact with the tire barrier in turn 8 and de Silvestro struck the rear of Wilson's car.
Explained de Silvestro, "Justin (Wilson) had an incident, and there was no yellow flag. I saw him too late and ran into him. It was pretty unfortunate because I think we were pretty quick."
Will Power had the third fastest speed followed by rookie Tristan Vautier and Helio Castroneves.
The IndyCars have a final practice on Saturday morning followed by qualifications at 5 p.m. ET.
