District of Columbia Medical Specialties Masters Degree Campus Programs & Graduate Schools
Whether you aspire to pursue a career in traditional medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, a number of accredited colleges and universities offer Medical Specialties Masters Degree Campus Programs for individuals who prefer a social learning atmosphere. Attending class at graduate school could be an exciting way to study directly with professors and industry specialists or make use of onsite research facilities. The variety of medical specialties schools with masters programs makes it worth thinking about what factors you need from your program, and ultimately, from your school.
How to Choose a Medical Specialties Masters Degree Campus Program
Choosing a Medical Specialties Masters Degree Campus Program might involve both personal and practical elements. On the personal side, you might have to consider where you where you want to go (specific city, state, country). Some of the practical aspects could include narrowing down the type of program you are looking for, and of course, finding an accredited graduate school to fulfill these academic needs. Let's get started with a rather pragmatic approach.
DID YOU KNOW? When asked in a survey, 48% of licensed acupuncturists responded they had a Masters degree. [i]
Types of Campus-Based Medical Specialties Masters Degree Programs
Campus based medical specialties masters degree programs are sometimes designed for the individual who hopes to facilitate healing, whether through alternative medicine, dental medicine or clinical research. Those who seek to practice in their field may need to use a masters degree as a preliminary degree for a doctorate. Others might be more interested in clinical research, management or a next level of certification which requires (among other things) a masters degree.
Search for masters degrees in the following categories:
- Campus Programs
- Chiropractic Masters Degree – Campus Programs
- Dental Medicine Masters Degree– Campus Programs & Dental Schools
- Medicine and Premed Masters Degree & Medical Schools
- Optometry Masters Degree - Campus Programs
- Physician Assistant Masters Degree – Campus Programs & PA Schools
- Respiratory Therapy Masters Degree – Campus Programs
Each graduate school and individual program has its own admission requirements and prerequisites whether in the form of required courses that need to have been taken, specific GPA, or a specific Bachelors degree. You always want to assume that there isn't just one answer, and use the 'request info' setting to clarify with a prospective school.
Program Lengths
Program lengths vary, and could be affected by whether you study full time, part time, or are interested in a dual degree (Bachelors-Masters) or a professional program. Here are a few estimations to keep in mind:
- Physician assistant education programs usually take at least 2 years of full-time study.[ii]
- Masters in Prosthetics and Orthotics usually take 2 years to complete[iii]
How Long is Medical School?
Medical school is typically 4 years, and depending on the specialty, 3 to 7 years in internship and residency programs.
Find Accredited Medical Specialties Masters Degree Programs & Graduate Schools
Accreditation is a process whereby a third party reviews an institution and or a program. At the institutional level, accreditation might come from national accreditors (U.S. Department of Education, Council for Higher Education Accreditation), and regionally, by 6 nationally recognized commissions. Programmatic accreditation could come from specific agencies, and these assure the educational standards and curriculum are within industry standards for that profession. Full accreditation might ensure that graduates may be eligible to sit for licensing exams in their field.
Program-specific Accreditors
Alternative Medicine Schools: Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACOM).[iv]
Chiropractic Schools: The Council on Chiropractic Education[v].
Dental Medicine Schools: The Commission on Dental Accreditation.[vi]
Medicine/Premed Schools: Association of American Medical Colleges[vii]
Optometry Schools: Accreditation Council on Optometric Education[viii].
Physician Assistant Schools: Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant Inc. (ARC-PA). In 2014 there were about 200 accredited education programs.[ix]
Respiratory Therapy Schools: Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care; completion of an accredited program may be required for licensure[x]
You know what type of accredited Medical Specialties Masters Program you want to pursue. Now you need to sort through schools. Our site has a convenient navigation menu to help you find a masters degree in your chosen discipline by location. Choose the city, the state or even country if you are drawn to a full degree study abroad.
Potential Features of Campus Medical Specialties Masters Programs
Everyone has a different personal bottom line about what they need from a graduate school. You might already be a licensed health care professional with the desire to research vision science, learn management skills or update your education and technical skills to potentially earn a certification in your field. Or you might be initiating a career and have heard about a specific professor's theories and you hope to sit in a live and dynamic lecture with him or her. So what do you look for in a school or campus program? Here are a few considerations:
- If research is important to you, look into whether a graduate school has grants, or whether any faculty member has or is researching an interesting topic;
- If understanding the business marketing component of your intended career is of value to you, look into whether there are any management courses offered in a program
- If internships are typically part of your masters programs, you might look into schools with potential placement opportunities
- If technical skills are important to you, you enjoy working in the lab, or you need a huge library to be able to study for exams, look into any of the facilities and the feel of a campus by scheduling a visit.

Cave Canem in its 15th Year
For the next few weeks Camille Rankine, program and communications coordinator at Cave Canem Foundation, will give us the rundown on the longtime P&W-supported literary organization.
Toi Derricotte and Cornelius Eady founded Cave Canem in 1996 with the intuition that African American poets would benefit from having a place of their own in the literary landscape. That summer, twenty-six poets gathered at Mount St. Alphonsus Conference Center in Esopus, New York. "The first night when everyone sat in a circle and started breaking down about how they had never felt safe and never studied with an African American poet, you could see something had really happened," Toi Derricotte recalled. "People broke open," said Cornelius Eady, describing the first workshop in an interview for the Poetry Foundation. "And then everyone hung out by the river and built a fire and really claimed the space."
In the fifteen years since its founding, Cave Canem's community has grown to become an influential movement with a renowned faculty and high-achieving national fellowship of over three hundred, many of whom have been P&W-supported and/or listed in the Directory of Poets & Writers. From inception, the organization's week-long writing retreat has provided sustenance and a safe space to take artistic chances.
This June, the tradition will continue at the sixteenth annual summer retreat, held at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg in Pennsylvania. Here, fifty-four fellows will commune with their peers and study with world-class poets Toi Derricotte, Cornelius Eady, Terrance Hayes, Carl Phillips, Claudia Rankine, and Natasha Trethewey. As Harryette Mullen, recipient of P&W's fourth annual Jackson Poetry Prize, put it, in this environment "black poets, individually and collectively, can inspire and be inspired by others, relieved of any obligation to explain or defend their blackness."
In addition to the retreat, several public readings, including a tented event at City of Asylum/Pittsburgh on June 23, will showcase the work of fellows, faculty, and visiting poet Amiri Baraka.

Support for Readings/Workshops in New York City is provided, in part, by public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, with additional support from the Louis & Anne Abrons Foundation, the Axe-Houghton Foundation, the A.K. Starr Charitable Trust, and the Friends of Poets & Writers.

Utah files petition seeking Supreme Court review of marriage case
August 05, 2014
Today, the state of Utah filed a writ of certiorari seeking review from the United States Supreme Court in Kitchen v. Herbert, a legal challenge to Utah's constitutional amendment restricting marriage to different-sex couples. The Utah amendment was struck down in a December 2013 ruling, which was affirmed in June by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit.
This is the first petition to be filed seeking review in a marriage case by the nation's highest court. Defendants in cases out of Oklahoma (Bishop v. Smith and Bostic v. Schaefer) have also indicated that they will file similar petitions.
After the petitions in all three cases are filed, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether to take up a case, likely before January 2015. If the Court decides to hear one or more marriage cases, oral arguments will be heard in the spring, with a ruling expected by June 2015.
Freedom to Marry National Campaign Director Marc Solomon said today:
Today's filing in the Utah case paves the way for the U.S. Supreme Court to take up a marriage case later this year and bring national resolution on marriage once and for all. Every day, hundreds of thousands of same-sex couples and their children are suffering the tangible harms of not being free to marry. The sting of discrimination and the crazy quilt of marriage laws are not just wrong but unconstitutional. The momentum is clear, the hardships of denial are real, and the country is ready for the High Court to act.
Since last June, when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the core of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, 35 consecutive rulings have come down in favor of the freedom to marry in state, federal, and federal appellate courts. Marriage litigation is pending in every state without the freedom to marry, and pro-marriage decisions are pending before federal appellate courts in the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th Circuits.
Freedom to Marry's Litigation Resource tracks nearly 80 marriage cases in the courts.

Hi again,
Will it be possible to work backwards, for example, modifying a Relational View (creating new entities, modifying existing entities, etc) and thus causing the Conceptual Model to be changed accordingly?
Ricardo Peres
Automatic reverse engineer is only possible for trivial cases. A single relational table can represent multiple ObjectTypes absorbed into that table for subtyping, 1-1 relationships, 1-many objectified relationship, objectified unaries, and a host of other reasons. Similarly, as clearly shown by the Verbalization Browser, a single relational column can map to multiple FactTypes. A process for adding a column to a table and reverse engineering to the conceptual model would require a long list of decision-tree style questions that the user would need to answer. Even then, there would be no guarantee that the column would actually end up in the table you were trying to put it in.
The relational view (more importantly, the underlying relational model) is a mapped view of the conceptual model. The best thing to do is to navigate to the underlying conceptual ObjectType and add a FactType. The next NORMA drop should make it easier to do the navigation.

Aid agencies must listen to the people they're helping
|Some camps for those displaced after the Haiti earthquake had suggestion boxes, and people responded with enthusiasm. Photograph: Ramon Espinosa/AP
The following post first appeared in The Guardian's Poverty Matters blog.
Lord Ashdown's review of how the UK responds to humanitarian emergencies points to a major shortcoming in today's humanitarian aid system: the absence of a systematic effort to assess whether beneficiaries are satisfied with the efforts made on their behalf by UN agencies and NGOs.
Over the past five years, we have seen a marked increase in the focus on accountability in what is now a $10bn a year humanitarian industry. But there is no systematic approach to assessing humanitarian operations through the eyes of recipients. Running aid programmes without understanding how beneficiaries feel about them is to ignore the simplest test of client satisfaction. It is amazing that donors have been willing to make funding decisions without any customer input for as long as they have.

Law Fellows Program
The Academic Outreach Resource Center is committed to ensuring equity, access and excellence in legal education. To that end, the Academic Outreach Resource Center is dedicated to aggressively and imaginatively engaging in a wide variety of outreach initiatives designed to encourage students from diverse backgrounds to apply and attend law school at UCLA.
Give to the UCLA Law Fellows Program
To further this goal, the UCLA School of Law Academic Outreach Resource Center launched the Law Fellows Program in 1997. This program is designed to encourage and prepare high-potential undergraduate and graduate students for a career in law, increase the diversity of the law school pool, and demystify the law school experience.
The program format is made up of several components, and includes a series of Saturday Academies held at the Law School. These Academies offer professional-level instruction by law faculty in which Law Fellows are exposed to cases and a variety of other materials used in law school. In addition to the academic enrichment component, each Fellow is assigned a law student mentor with whom they will interact throughout the year. Informative seminars and panel discussions, designed to demystify the law school experience, are led by staff, alumni and other members of the legal community. Each Fellow who successfully completes the program receives a full scholarship for an LSAT preparation course courtesy of TestMasters or Kaplan. Finally, participants complete a J.D. Action Plan and meet with the directors of the program regularly, often over the course of several years, until they matriculate to law school and beyond receiving continuous academic support, mentoring, counseling and career guidance.

- Metal Beds Texas Faux Leather Ottoman
Good quality bed lots of storage even for a single and thick chunky headboard. Lifting the base to access storage is easy but pushing down to close requires a bit of strength. I haven't given the Texas ottoman 5 stars for 2 reasons 1. Faux leather is shiny, leather looks a bit cheap compared to my other faux leather bed i have 2. The sideboards do not screw into edge of headboard flush-square they screw in a few centimeters inside so if u want 2 beds next to each other there will be a gap

Wabash CollegeBoard of Trustees NewsletterStephen S. Bowen '68, Chairman of the Board
Wabash College educates men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely
November 5, 2007
Dear Friends,
The Wabash College Board of Trustees met on a glorious fall weekend in Crawfordsville not only to conduct our normal business, but also, and more importantly, to participate in strategic and master planning discussions. Many Trustees arrived early to attend a celebration of the teaching, scholarship, and creative pursuits of the Wabash faculty, and many stayed late to see the football team trounce Oberlin — their seventh win against no losses. Trustees also attended the 28th Annual Lafollette Lecture, given by Professor J.D. Phillips, chair of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department.
The Board was pleased to welcome two new trustees: Dr. K. Donald Shelbourne '72, a highly regarded orthopedic surgeon, and James A. Davlin V '85, Vice President and Treasurer of the John Deere Company.
Committee ReportsSaturday's Board meeting consisted of various committee reports, summaries of which follow:
The Academic Affairs Committee, chaired by John Fox '64, discussed with Dean Gary Phillips and members of the faculty three important topics:
The curriculum: After a lengthy faculty review process, the curriculum is likely to remain essentially as is. Efforts are underway, however, to augment and enrich Freshman Tutorial, the Cultures and Tradition course, and the second semester senior experience.
Faculty recruitment and retention: Changing faculty demographics continue to be an area of concern. The number of new Ph.D.s entering the job market has been relatively flat in recent years, and this has resulted in increased competition among colleges in attracting and hiring new faculty. Although to date the College has been able to achieve its hiring goals and to hire its "first choice" candidates, the College cannot rest on its accomplishments. Accordingly, President White, Dean Phillips and others are working hard to formulate plans and develop resources that will enable the College to continue to meet its hiring needs and thereby to maintain the historic high quality of a Wabash education. It is estimated that Wabash will need to hire 30 new faculty by 2020.
The Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education: This study is being conducted by the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts at Wabash and involves 27 colleges and universities. Data on Wabash student experiences as compared to student experiences at other institutions participating in the study will inform the strategic planning process going forward.
Mike Dill '71, chair of the Admissions and Advancement Committee, reported positive news on both fronts. The Admissions Office brought in 250 new students and three transfer students to mark the ninth year in a row the College has met or exceeded its goal. (Overall enrollment is 917, the largest in College history.) In addition, the Advancement Office achieved its Annual Fund goal with $2.76 million in gifts, the third highest total ever. The goal for the current fiscal year is $2.85 million on the way to meeting the Hays Challenge, which if met will provide an additional $1.1 million in scholarship revenue. The overall fund-raising total for fiscal 2007, including the Annual Fund, was $8.6 million.
Larry Hutchison '63, chair of the Audit Committee, distributed copies of the College's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2007, and reported that once again the College had received a "clean" report from its outside auditors. Joe Turk H'00, chair of the Budget and Finance Committee, reported that the College had a small budget surplus for fiscal 2007 and is now on track for a positive outcome in 2008. Wabash, like all colleges and universities, however, is concerned about the relationship over time of tuition revenues to operating costs, and this will be closely monitored by the President's staff and the Committee.
Fred Wilson '69, chair of the Buildings and Grounds Committee, updated the Board on various construction projects. The renovation of College Hall was finished on schedule and on budget and now houses 77 independent men. The new facility for the Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion will be ready for occupancy in the spring, and the new TKE house will be ready for occupancy next fall. Each of these projects is on schedule and on budget. The Buildings and Grounds Committee also met with Chris Chivetta, a principal of Hastings and Chivetta, the St. Louis design firm that will manage the master planning part of the strategic and master planning process. The master planning process will focus on such things as the outdoor athletics facilities, the campus center and upgrades to older academic buildings.
Gary Reamey '77, chair of the College Life Committee, reported on the Committee's "rich and wide-ranging" meeting and conversation with Professors Lon Porter (Chemistry) and Peter Mikek (Economics), and seniors Lincoln Smith, Brandon Stewart, and Jesse James. Professor Porter commented that Hays Hall, which houses the Biology and Chemistry departments, is ideal in all aspects — classroom teaching, presentations, lab facilities, and collaborative research. Professor Mikek discussed the positive impact of internships and immersion trips on overall student development. The students talked about their personal experiences and some general themes — improved fraternity pledge percentages linked to more effective marketing; better relations between independents and fraternity men due to regular meetings of student leaders and deans; and effective student government, which oversees an annual budget of approximately $500,000 to support 67 student clubs and organizations on campus.
Bill Wheeler '83, chair of the Investment Policy Committee, reported on conversations with the College's investment managers. He also indicated that the value of the endowment at September 30 was approximately $395 million, which represents 1.9% growth for the quarter and 16.5% growth for the prior 12 months.
Kevin Clifford '77, chair of the Committee on Trusteeship, discussed briefly the results of a Board evaluation survey that was conducted over the summer. The survey is part of the Committee's ongoing efforts to monitor and improve as appropriate the Board's overall efficiency and effectiveness.
President's ReportPresident Pat White apprised the Board on recent grant activity. The College has received a grant from the Mellon Foundation, and has been invited to apply for grants from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the James Kemper Foundation. The Mellon grant will support new faculty development.
Strategic PlanningPresident White has assembled five committees that have been working on strategic planning since the start of the school year. Faculty and staff representatives of those groups joined with Trustees for 90-minute breakout sessions Saturday morning. The conversations dealt with the qualities of the students we wish to recruit and the qualities they will need upon graduation to be effective in the broader world. The Board found the conversations helpful and insightful and looks forward to continued involvement in the strategic planning process. In this regard, the January Board meeting will be extended for an additional day devoted to strategic planning discussions.
This year marks the 175th anniversary of the College, and it is an exciting time for all of us. The strategic and master planning process now under way, coupled with the hard work of virtually everyone at the College, will enable us to imagine and realize better experiences for Wabash men as we fulfill our mission by educating them to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely. Please join the conversation. As always, the Board values the input of Wabash alumni and friends. You can contact the Board through email.

Property Rounds: Trading floor format leads to open office spaces
Companies find that following open 'trading floor' model in use of space offers benefits
Companies are making it easier for their employees to get to know each other better as they increasingly embrace a new strategy to improve production and reduce costs.
Modeled after trading floors at investment banks and hedge funds, the open-space office environment is now being adapted by other types of businesses to their own needs at their headquarters and large regional facilities.
Their goal is to improve communication and the exchange of ideas among members of companies' small operating units by creating pod-like clusters.
Employees often become isolated in their own individual "silos," and fall into the rut of depending on their iPhone or emails to communicate with fellow employees -- thus limiting communications with their cohorts, according to Maureen McAvey, a senior fellow at the Washington, D.C.-based Urban Land Institute.
"It (open office space) is a trend in some companies. They want to get away from the cube farms," McAvey said. "When you collaborate, a lot more can get done."
Space savings
The strategy also reduces space needs by increasing the density of employees in a workspace, allowing a company to lease less square footage, she said.
"Users (of an open office space strategy) find they need 20 percent less space," McAvey said, but cost savings is only a secondary benefit to adopting the strategy. "It's a driver, but I'm not sure it's the primary driver."
But the adapting to the new office layout can require some education, patience and understanding, according to McAvey.
"For the first time, we have four generations in some workplaces -- some older than the boomers," she said. "There has been tension between the generations because their work philosophies don't mix. It takes coaching and planning to make this work well. You have to consider what kind of work a department does, and does it lend itself to collaboration."
A open space office strategy often provides an opportunity for "benching," or collecting a small number of desks in an area and allowing employees to more easily communicate.
It also can allow for "hoteling," a term for unassigned seating that can be easily used by an employee -- often traveling from site to site -- to conduct work.
McAvey made note of Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's decision to limit employees' ability to work remotely based on her concerns that communication and collaboration are suffering.
Open-space pioneers
Greenwich Plaza at Greenwich and Railroad avenues in Greenwich, where AQR Capital and Silver Point Capital have trading floors, could be considered a precursor to the trend toward open office space.
"The building allows for an open floor plan," said Kim DePra, spokeswoman for the Stamford-based Asforth Co., owner of Greenwich Plaza, which has 324,000 square feet of office space and 30,000 square feet of retail space within walking distance of the Greenwich rail station.
Trading floors require an open space concept so employees can easily interact in the split-second industry, according to Ed Tonnessen, managing director for brokerage at the Stamford office of Jones Lang LaSalle, which represents the building.
"They employ a high-density space allocation in an open space design. It's certainly the norm for trading," he said, adding that it is a model for other types of businesses as they work to improve employee communications and collaboration and reduce the need for space. "That's a result of corporate America addressing space allocations as a way to reduce costs."
Large floor plates that offer an open office space concept require an above-average power supply, Tonnessen said, and because such settings can accommodate more workers a building's parking facility can be overtaxed.
Greenwich Plaza does not face that problem because of its proximity to the train station, he said, adding that the building is fully leased.
Open-space boom
Architectural firms like Granoff Architects in Greenwich, are increasingly seeing a demand from companies to design open office space formats.
"Virtually all of our projects have some portion of the plan that is open space," said Richard Granoff, president of Granoff Architects. "At a minimum, this would be support personnel for perimeter offices. And the extreme would be the hedge fund with most if not all of their employees in an open trading floor environment. The biggest challenge is controlling sound transmission. This can be mitigated with acoustic wall panels, carpeting and/or sound-absorbent ceiling treatments."
Granoff, who said his firm has designed "dozens" of open office formats, said the concept is evolving as workstation products and design become more user friendly and technically adaptable.
While there is a trend toward open office space environments which fit more employees into less space, building owners, tenants and their architects must work together to allow for sufficient infrastructure to support the process.
"It's hard for office systems -- like air conditioning and parking -- to keep up," said Jim Fagan, senior managing director of the Stamford office of Cushman & Wakefield, a commercial real estate office serving much of Fairfield County. "If you put more people in a space, it gets hot."
In some instances, Fagan said the formula for an open office space setting is less than about 200 square feet per employee down to about 125 square feet per employee, compared with about 250 square feet per employee in a more traditional office setting.
"We call it the densification of office space," he said.
But saving money on a lease is only a side benefit of operating in an open space office environment, he said, adding that it is essential to have private meeting rooms.
"There's a balance between having privacy and collaboration," Fagan said.
With the arrival of portable computers and mobile phones, there is less need for employees to work in isolation in a small office space, according to Lisa Mercurio, director of the Fairfield County Information Exchange, an initiative of the Business Council of Fairfield County.
"The portability of what you need to work -- laptops, mobile phones -- has really changed where we can work. You don't need to be wired to your desk," she said. "We are seeing companies use that flexibility, and the increasing need to collaborate among work teams, to incorporate more shared spaces into their layouts. But having a balance between private meeting space and more social space has been an important consideration for employers."

John Cale
Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, USA
May - 1979
from MILAVALENTI collection # 100
Unknown gen aud recording.
Recording equipment: unknown
Rec. Info:
aud cassette / cass transfer via Onkyo tapedeck TA-2330 -> Magix Audio & Music Lab (edit/remaster) -> FLAC -> DIME
G after some equalizing. Sound level adjusted.
I was thinking about what could be the 100th upload from the MILAVALENTI collection. Then I came this tape here. The sound is not really nice (there is a lot of hiss and background hum), it must be quite a high gen tape and also it's certainly not complete. But the show itself is simply great and features some great versions of Captain Hook and Pablo Picasso. Also it seems to be very rare. And then I found the following article and 2 nice photos of the show here: http://www.schmitt-hall-studios.com/ron ... etlist.htm
which convinced me that this is really worth the #100
"The first glimpse of a legend sorta does something to you. There he stood, larger than life itself,
larger than tee vee even, in his surgeon's greens, tar black hair cropped short and the cut of that
jaw; reminded me of Mr. Spock gone berserk, sans ears of course.
Slamming out "Mercenaries", John's New Wave Band was a cut above mere competence and provided an
excellent framework from which Cale launched his protests/attacks on form. The band was young and tight.
The guitarist was a bit heavy handed at times but silky smooth. Drummer, keyboard player and chanteuse
all sang excellent harmony and handled their instrumental chores well.
Except for one tune late in the set which was handled by the lovely blond percussionist it was John Cale
in the limelight and he delivered one of the most intense individual performances I have ever witnessed.
The former Velvet Underground bassist switched back and forth between guitar, fretless bass, electric
piano and viola as the composition demanded. John did a bit of crooning, a bit of droning and a bit of
straight ahead rock'n'roll topped off by a rousing encore of the Modern Lover's "Pablo Piccaso" but sadly
the general apathy displayed by most of the audience failed to bring the mad Welshman back a second time."
Setlist (tape length 36:23 min.):
01 Walkin' The Dog
02 Captain Hook
03 Only Time Will Tell
04 Chorale
05 Sabotage
06 Pablo Picasso

(WENN) -Khloe Kardashian praised her boyfriend Tristan Thompson for stepping up and taking care of their daughter True while she returned to work.
The 34-year-old reality star welcomed her first child on 12 April , and went back to work at her Good American clothing brand on Friday.
Despite her anxiety over leaving her daughter, Khloe was thankful for her Cleveland Cavaliers boyfriend for taking over the childcare for their 12-week-old daughter.
"I'm very grateful because Tristan is being a great daddy and he has done all the feedings while I've been gone," she said in a video on Snapchat.
"Shout out to all the good dads out there. First day back at work since having True! I'm anxious to leave True but also eager to get back to work now that I have a new push and motivation," she added. "It's not just for me anymore."
And the new mum was quick to give her little girl plenty of cuddles when she returned home after her first day back at work.
Sharing a video of True smiling for the camera, Khloe can be heard cooing: "Who is that beautiful girl?"
On her last day of maternity leave, the reality star admitted she was riddled with nerves about leaving True for the first time.
"I've been thinking about the 6th (July), the 6th, the 6th, oh my God, I have to start work on the 6th and I've been getting just anxious about it. And today I'm very anxious," she said in a series of videos shared on Snapchat on Thursday.
"I don't know what to do because I love our routine together," she added, before apologizing to older sister Kourtney Kardashian, who she used to tease about the struggles of being a working mom. "Kourtney, I take back all the times I've made fun of you," she added.

It was originally built in 1902 and re-opened as Morgans 100 years later.The twenty bedroom hotel has been awarded four stars by the Wales Tourist Board.All the rooms are named after ships that were registered or built in Swansea in the last century, a time when intrepid sailors ventured accross the world to exotic and remote places such as Valparaiso in Chile, Newfoundland and South America,and many sailers became Cape Horners in their quest for trade around the world.Morgans is a privately owned boutique hotel, with twenty bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms and a restaurant. Morgans Bar, is a relaxing area with leather sofas which by day has become THE place to sit and have a leisurely coffee and read the day's papers. Bar snacks are served all day, and afternoon teas featuring Welsh Cakes and scones provide a welcome break after city centre shopping or bracing walks along the beach or around the city maritime quarter. Alternatively, if you prefer a more up-beat location, The Champagne Bar with its clean lines, modern architectural glass and bespoke champagne tables is the place to sit and sip your champagne and watch the world from it's mezzanine floor.Morgans has been described as being unashamedly modern whilst still paying homage to its past, and a walk around this beautiful building will endorse this remark. From the beautiful original staircase with the cuppola housing historical stained glass depicting points of the compass, to the sleek lines of the bedrooms which all feature LCD tv's, dvd and cd players, wireless internet, mini bars, trouser presses, hairdryers, safes and top quality robes, to the egyptian cotton bed linen and suede curtains enhancing the beautifully proportioned windows, and risque double showers featured in some of the bathrooms, Morgans has lavished care and attention to ensure that a guest's every need is catered for.

Ron Paul is leading President Obama in the latest Harris Poll. How can that be? Simple: President Obama is unpopular, so any Republican runs pretty well against him. But Ron Paul?! Sure: most people don't know much about individual Republican candidates at this point, so they generally run about the same, distinguished mainly by name recognition. Some do worse than the norm, like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann; this is because the press has made a point of demonizing them. The press hasn't bothered to go after Ron Paul, so crazy uncle Ron Paul polls like a generic Republican. Still, results like these must send a shudder through the White House…

If I had put my expectations into words I would have said "Life can't get any worse!" (I was before college a Catholic.)
Life couldn't get any worse than that of the only Catholic I knew well: my dad's. His parents didn't have the money to send three kids to Catholic schools but wanted their two daughters to finish high school so they could marry better.
It had to have been a hard lesson and my dad remembered it. When a two-year-younger brother spoke of wanting to quit high school, our dad told him "The day you quit is the day you move out!"
BTW, one of my dad's two sisters did marry better. My brother finished high school; his son is an MD and his two daughters an RN and a CPA.
I finished college an agnostic, found work I liked, and life after religion has been VASTLY better than I expected.
Is your life after religion what you expected?
Replies here might help newbies at A/N in their searches.
* I paraphrased slightly a question asked of retired folk: "Is life after 50 what you expected?"
Views: 446
This expresses my feelings exactly and then some.
WOW!!! Thank you, Mathew.
I heard of Ingersol after existentialism aided my leap into uncertainty but years passed before I saw his books. I had time for only a few pages and didn't see the above.
Again words fail me: WOW!!!!
I feel free. I am much happier and now I don't have to believe in fairy tales and nonsense.
It's a relief.
Frankly my transition from theism through apatheism to atheism has largely been without a ruffle. Religion was never that important an element to my life as it was. Being that the branch I was brought up in - Protestant Congregationalism - is about as watered down a christian denomination as you can get, there wasn't much to leave behind, other than a congregation which wasn't where I settled after I graduated from college.
Truth be told, I might have prayed here and there during my apathetic phase, but I never thought much of my prayers or their likelihood of being recognized or acted on by some putative deity. Now that I'm an atheist, they're just one more piece of detritus to be shut of.
Maybe I'm atypical. So what? There it is.
ONE area where religion did have an impact was on my sexual orientation, particularly in coming to terms with my bisexuality. After my first experience outside the conventional sexual realm, I was roughly a year struggling with what had happened, that it was condemned by the bible and by society (at least back then), and the conflict between that and the fact that it had been a harmless and largely enjoyable encounter between two people who happened to share the same gender.
Once I was past that, though, I'm not certain that religion had any appreciable impact on my actions. I suppose if I were to look back at those times, I might find something, but its importance at this point strikes me as being minimal at best.
I'm bisexual. I'm an atheist. I'm down with that.
Loren, I'm envious. Bi's are twice as likely to meet someone.
Looking back, I can't remember having any expectations. I just woke up one day and realized I hadn't really believed in god for a few years. My process was internally driven, and I had already removed myself from Xian congregations, so there were no apron strings. I attended a few Unitarian/Universalist services in the college town for a while, where belief was optional. The Christian college I attended didn't shove anything down student throats. My process felt so natural, gradual, and reasonable it was more like personal enlightenment than deconversion.
I did not have expectations regarding loss of religious belief. It was a rocky road. It took a long time to go from fundamentalist Baptist to agnostic to Unitarian to atheist.
I don't see that there was any other path for me. My temperament is to think for myself, be as informed as I can be, analyse and think critically.
I am introverted, but I do miss face to face contact with at least one other person who thinks like I do. Not that I want a twin or sibling, but that it would be nice to have the in-person comaraderie. Nexus is great for that, grateful to have this and the friends I know or are getting to know here.
Freedom from religious lock-step and mind-warp is essential. Life as a fundyBaptist would have been miserable. Life has had its ups and downs, but I'm glad I didn't let fear of hell and religious indoctrination control my life. Most of the joy that my life has had, is because I am free of the religious intolerance, mind control, hatred, racism, scapegoating, smug, anti-intellectualism, clique, cliche, xenophobia, homophobia, hypocrisy, quagmire of the mind, of religion.
Thanks, Sentient, my path was much like yours except it was from Catholic to agnostic to Unitarian to atheist.
When I began to understand fundamentalism I started describing Catholicism as a kind of fundamentalism.
Though I was one of five kids I usually had my face in books and was introverted until I gained self confidence via college, a job I liked that paid well, marriage, and thanks to my wife's more public kind of work some public speaking skills.
I had all the stuff you mention above, except soon after I finished high school I said something probably racist. I don't remember what I said but have a crystal clear memory of my dad's looking me right in my eyes and saying "We don't dislike people because they're different!!!" He owned a small grocery store and one day ordered a customer who'd said something racist to get out of his store and not come back.
Freedom from Catholic guilt over original sin and all that fear-based other crap feels WONDERFUL!!!!!!
Whoops, I said in opening this discussion that my dad's parents didn't have the money to send three kids to Catholic schools. I forgot to add that his parents took him out of the Catholic school after sixth grade and told him to help support the family.

What do Andy Warhol, Robert Redford, Richard Avedon, Zac Posen, Joyce Carol Oates, Sylvia Plath, John Lithgown, Ned Vizzini, Abdi Farah (winner of the Bravo reality show Work of Art: The Next Great Artist) and two Springside Chestnut Hill Academy students have in common?
They were all winners of the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, the country's oldest and most prestigious awards and recognition program for creative teenagers.
Madison LaSorda and Kelsea Brewer, both juniors at SCH, were selected from an estimated 450 submissions. Students could submit entries in 30 categories including poetry, humor, journalism, novel writing and science fiction, as well as painting, sculpture, photography, fashion design, film and animation, and video game design. Works were judged on originality, technical skill and the emergence of personal vision or voice.
The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, which administers the awards, identifies teenagers with exceptional artistic and literary talent and brings their remarkable work to a national audience through Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. The awards, which have recognized more than 13 million students, continue to be the longest-running, most prestigious program for creative teens and the largest source of scholarships for young artists and writers.
"The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards provide unprecedented opportunities for the nation's most creative teens through recognition, exhibition, publication and scholarships," said Virginia McEnerney, executive director of the Alliance.
The students' submissions were selected by a panel of Philadelphia teachers, writers, and literary professionals.
Kelsea Brewer, a junior at SCH received a Silver Key Award in the 2012 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards from the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers for her collection of three poems: "Mothers," "Night" and "Small World."
Brewer, who began writing in eighth or ninth grade, said Sylvia Plath's poem "I am vertical" sparked her interest in poetry and inspired one of her poems. She added that she loved Plath's vivid images of nature.
Brewer's poem "Mothering" was inspired by her Italian great grandmother.
"I have always been surrounded by strong women," Brewer said. "I am Italian. Their influence has really been a prominent part of my life."
In her poem "Mothering," which was submitted to the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, Brewer writes:
"Two faces
One lacking daring beauty
The other empathetic
Cloaked in shadowed silence."
Brewer hopes to take a summer writing course at Bard College.
Suzi Morrison, chair of the English Department, encouraged SCH students to submit their work in the beginning of the year. Morrison remembers telling students, "What do you have to lose?"
"Why you do have things you can lose," Morrison said. "The worst thing that can happen is that this piece of you, is sent out into the world and comes back to you, to have and to hold again, to revise and send out again. That being said, it's a very serious business.
"Kelsea took that leap, which I think is a really wonderful indication of growing as a writer and thinking about writing for a large audience. Kelsey has always expressed such attention to detail in her writing, and she has a good ear for how words fit together and sound together. It was not a surprise to hear that her poetry had won an award."
Another award winner was Madison LaSorda, who received a Golden Key Award for her short story "Marjorie" and Honorable Mention for her work "The Millworker."
This year the Alliance for Young Artists received about 450 submissions from Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties. Only five percent of regional submissions receive a Golden Key Award.
Works earning Golden Keys are forwarded to the national judging of the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards in New York City. All Golden Key works from across the country will be reviewed by nationally and internationally renowned writers. The Philadelphia Arts and Education Partnership will host the regional award ceremony at the University of the Arts on Saturday, April 14. National winners will be announced at a special ceremony at Carnegie Hall in New York City on May 31.
LaSorda, who hopes to study musical theater, described her character summary of Marjorie Jones in the short story "Marjorie."
"Marjorie Jones, a teenager in the 1960s, finds herself seeking out the company of the hippies at her school after her brother is drafted into the war." LaSorda said. "With the help of these hippies, particularly one named Rebecca, Marjorie is able to find comfort and bloom into the innocent, peace-loving, flower child that she's always been at heart.
"Although she ends up losing the girl she loves, and is kicked out of her house because she loves a girl, she still manages to stay optimistic, and these events lead her to finding her tribe, or as she would refer to them, her family."
Below is an excerpt from LaSorda's awarding winning selection "Marjorie":
"I am an optimist. I believe in the best of people, and I believe in love. I know someday soon my brother will get back and he will come looking for me. And we will be happy. Maybe while he looks for me he will find Rebecca, and then the three of us, and the rest of the tribe, will show the world that love and acceptance is all you need. Love and acceptance will make this world a better place."
LaSorda said that her Dad was involved in theatre in high school and college and that both shared a passion for theatre.
Michael Ferrier, Madison's English teacher, called her "a writer of commanding gifts."
"When most opportunities for creative writing are greeted with a collective groan, Madison grins from ear to ear," he said. "Every word in Madison's writing evinces joy in the process of writing."
