Transformational Marketing Mix Optimization Using a Virtual Marketplace
Jeff Maloy, Chief Marketing Officer, Copernicus
Jun 18 2013
32 mins
It's the Holy Grail of marketing mix optimization in the bought-owned-earned media landscape—a virtual marketplace that makes it possible to evaluate the ROI of current marketing and media plans. Many marketers also are using this tool to simulate innovative marketing strategies and plans they have never tried before and forecast the likely results.
In this webcast, Jeff Maloy will explore the most critical issues to building, using, and applying the results of a virtual marketplace including:
• Establishing the marketing or business problem you are trying to solve, and identifying when these types of models are most appropriate.
• Understanding and modeling how "agents" (e.g., consumers, businesses) behave, interact, and network.
• Optimizing the current mix across the bought-owned-earned media landscape.
•Testing alternative targeting, messaging, marketing, media, and competitive response scenarios using a dynamic simulation tool.
Jeff will offer perspectives on the types of questions this tool can help marketers solve, and provide examples of how brands have used it for marketing mix optimization and improved ROI.

What You'll Learn:
- Which behaviors do prospects commonly exhibit early in a buying cycle
- What type of activity patterns suggest that it's time for sales to engage with a prospect
- How can online engagement be used in lead scoring models
- Which activities should be used to trigger your nurture programs
- How you should display these behaviors through your marketing automation and CRM system for better sales insight

My Butterfree is Lv. 50 and has much higher Sp. Attack than Attack. It knows: Bug Buzz, Gust, Energy Ball, Psychic.
Butterfree Learnset
Awesome moveset but suggest to switch gust with air cutter because it has higher power and it has high critical ratio but has 95 accuarcy.
Gen V
Butterfree (F) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Tinted Lens
EVs: 252 SAtk / 36 SDef / 220 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
Okay, you set up Quiver Dance with the help of your Focus Sash, then hit with your attacks. Bug Buzz gets STAB, while Energy Ball and Psychic provide type coverage. Especially helpful for Psychic in particular is Tinted Lens, which will allow you to get at least a neutral hit against pretty much every foe. However, this is just a weaker Venomoth, and even a weaker Mothim.
Trait: Compoundeyes
EVs: 248 SAtk / 16 SDef / 244 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
Okay, this is a reliable sleep inducer that also happens to be fast after Quiver dance. Sleep Powder will have high accuracy thanks to Compoundeyes, and after Quiver dance, you'll be like the darkrai of NU. I mean, the Spore users aren't very fast. You won't get outped by Amoonguss or Parasect, and even Breloom has below average Speed. So put the foe to Sleep. You can also do pretty nice damage with Bug Buzz (STAB) and Giga Drain (type coverage and healing). Psychic can be used over Giga Drain to deal with the Poison types of NU, especially since Bug Buzz deals with Dark types. However, you won't get the benefit of Giga Drain's healing. The EVs are focused at providing enough Speed and Special Attack after Quiver dance to do some damage.
Butterfree (M) @ Focus Sash
Role: Sunny Sweeper
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Hey! Its that NU Volcorona!
Well, There have been many times that people have made NU weather Teams.
SolarBeam is amazing in the Sun, While HP Fire basically gets STAB from the sun. Bug Buzz is STAB. While Quiver dance is to Make him into a sweeper.
Its a pretty simple pokemon, very nice in the sun.
Gen III
Butterfree (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Compoundeyes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Sleep Powder gets much better accuracy with Compoundeyes, making for a reliable Sleep Powder.
Dream Eater covers those annoying Rock Slide Fighting types, and anything that dares cross this Butterfly's path. Giga Drain is more coverage, and agaisn't rock too! And Nightmare is added on Sleep kills, So overall he's not too bad, but still not a favorite of mine.
Evoilite Metapod
(M) @ Eviolite
Role: Annoyer who bosses of physical moves.
Trait: Shed Skin
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
With like 1 Iron Defense it's hard as crap to touch this thing with anything physical, which is hilarious! Then you can use things like String shot to be a butt hole, or bug bite to do barely anything..
Double/Triple Battle
Butterfree (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Tinted Lens EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Safeguard - Tailwind/Quiver Dance/Swagger - Air Cutter - Bug Buzz/Stuggle Bug
Yeah, Butterfree sucks in multi-battle. This is because stat boosting does not work well at all, so Quiver Dance is going to be almost impossible to pull off, especially since the foe will be targetting Butterfree to stop you from using Quiver Dance. Safeguard provides some status protection for the team. Tailwind also provides support. There isn't much else Butterfree can do. You can be incredibly risky and run Quiver Dance, use it for all of one turn. Swagger can be used to help out Own Tempo Pokemon. Air Cutter is STAB and can hit multiple Pokemon. It won't do much, but Butterfree does not have much else. Bug Buzz is more powerful STAB, but it still won't do much, so you can use Struggle Bug to lower the Special Attack of the foes, while doing a tiny bit (tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny) of damage.
Doubles / Triples
Butterfree (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Compoundeyes EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Air Cutter - Bug Buzz - Sleep Powder - Tailwind
Yes, I suggested Choice Scarf + Tailwind. At least it will accomplish something before it dies. No, it won't faint. IT WILL DIE.
Piece of crap taken to a new level... And I like butterfree! It gets 100% accuracy Air Cutter, so that's a treat. Sleep Powder as well. Heck, it would be worth it to just have something really fast alternating putting opponents to sleep right? Despite sleep clause, if it isn't active... good! To be honest, this thing is most likely going to take down 1 pokemon, or clean 2 up. OR Use Tailwind to support pokemon that can actually do something, or put a decent threat to sleep.
First off, you need to be listening to this while you read my set http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEA_hodDXBg&feature=related
It's borderline essential.
Now that we have that out of the way, I'm going to listen to something different while I write this set out :P
Butterful the Butterfree @ Life freakin' orb Ability: Tinted Lens Nature: Modest EVs: 4 HP / 252 SP ATK / 252 SPEED
Quiver Dance - Let the boosting begin. Try to use this when you're pretty darn sure your opponent will switch out. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND using Stealth Rocks as team support before bringing this thing out ( and spinning away any rocks on your side ) so that you can land OHKOs on opponents that are abusing sash. They are out there!
Bug Buzz - STAB. Tinted Lens makes your not very effective hits neutral. That's pretty darn awesome if you ask me. This will be your primary attacking move.
Sleep Powder - Even though I'm not running the set where this is accurate ( the ability I mean.. whatevs ) it's still ridiculously useful for boosting. Taking the risk normally pays off..... normally.
Psychic / Shadow Ball - Choose your coverage. Both work remarkably well. Both hit Gengar / Haunter for super effective damage ( he 4X resists Bug buzz, so he'd still 2X resist you even after Tinted Lens. )
So, it seems your Butterfree has Modest as its' Nature. As for a set, I have been tinkering all kinds of different ideas for sure to make use of Butterfree. Here's one I just had in mind
Nature: Modest (Special Attack up, Attack down) EVs: Emphasis on Special Attack, HP, and Speed. Ability: Compoundeyes Attacks: Bug Buzz/Psychic/Energy Ball/Quiver Dance Held Item: Wise Glasses
This would be a set mostly to have Butterfree get in with some quick special attacks and sweep them. With this set, Butterfree'd cover Grass, Psychic, Dark, Fighting, Poison, Water, Rock, and Ground, with Butterfree having a quadruple weakness to Rock, so that helps.
Here is another Set Nature: Timid (Speed up, Attack down) Ability: Compoundeyes EVs: Emphasis on Speed, Special Attack, and HP Attacks: Bug Buzz/Sleep Powder/Dream Eater/Quiver Dance Held Item: Big Root
Put the enemy to sleep with Sleep Powder thanks to its accuracy going up due to Compoundeyes, as well as the Big Root giving you more HP from Dream Eater than normal. Bug Buzz for Same Type Attack Bonus, as well as Quiver Dance to raise Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed so Butterfree can do more damage with Bug Buzz and Dream Eater, as well as perhaps the pre-emptive strike too.
item:wide lens
ev:252 attack; 152 sp.atk; 152speed with butterfree, its defences arn't the best. decent speed, you go in, hit first, get it to sleep. hopfully not taking a lot of damage. its attack stinks, so put all you can into it.
sleep powder-may not have alot of accuracy, but with the zoom lens its not that bad.
dream eater-when its asleep. get back some health.
protect-use when you think it will wake up or when you know somethings coming
u-turn-if all else fails, get this in first and switch.

The issue of gift-card escheatment, which reached a boiling point in April, may be on the path to a resolution that leaves all sides satisfied, according to a source familiar with talks surrounding the issue.
The issue — in which the state would assume the value of unused gift cards — became the center of a war of words between retailers and Gov. Chris Christie's administration. Multiple card issuers, including American Express, InComm and Blackhawk Network, said they would leave the state, while Treasury officials all but gestured toward the door.
While a bill is advancing in the Legislature that would end escheatment, the center of the action is occurring in talks between retailers and the administration, according to the source.
"We're getting close," the source said. "There's some meaningful discussions with the governor's office and the administration."
While an agreement is "just not there yet," the conversations have been positive and the dialog is continuing — a far cry from the escalating confrontation of early April. The issue has been unusual in the Christie administration, which has been largely praised in the business community for its responsiveness, including strong praise from retailers.
With the opening bell for round 2 in the push to add two years to the state's Permit Extension Act about to ring, both lobbyists for builders and environmentalists are confident they will land a knockout blow.
The last effort to extend the act through December 2014 was stopped in March by a last-minute push by environmentalists. Since then, builders have been reaching out to legislators, and according to lobbyists, those discussions will bear fruit.
"We think the bill, as it stands now, reflects the intent of the 2008 act, and we very much look forward to it being passed in the next month," said Jeff Kolakowski, director of government affairs for the New Jersey Builders Association.
The battle has centered over the bill's treatment of the Highlands. Environmentalists say the measure, unlike a previous extension in 2010, would reopen expired projects in the northwest corner of the state, a position rejected by builders.
Kolakowski said legislators have been listening. "The more they've learned about the situation, the more they understand where we're coming from and how important this initiative is to the economic recovery," he said.
New Jersey Sierra Club Director Jeff Tittel said the bill will only move forward if the Highlands provisions are removed. He added that 27 Assembly Democrats opposed the measure. "That won't happen," Tittel said of the bill passing without changes. He said the builders must be "willing to negotiate in good faith" over the Highlands, adding that development would threaten drinking water for millions of North Jersey residents.
Anthony Pizzutillo, a lobbyist for the New Jersey chapter of commercial real estate association NAIOP, said the organization is hopeful that the measure will pass in the next month.
While the state's unemployment insurance task force unanimously endorsed a measure that would exclude seasonal workers from unemployment insurance, don't expect immediate action on the proposal.
Senate Labor Committee Chairman Fred H. Madden Jr. (D-Turnersville) said there are no plans to advance the measure.
The situation for employers with regular turnover is about to become more difficult, with a bill advancing in the Legislature that would shift the UI tax burden toward them.
Assembly Labor Committee Chairman Joseph V. Egan (D-New Brunswick) said he doesn't anticipate seasonal employers being hurt by the change in UI taxes, but said if they are affected, legislators can revisit the issue."I think that's something to take a look at," Egan said.
In its original form, the bill sought to sock high-layoff employers with a $26.8 million increase in UI taxes, but Christie's administration objected to any tax increase, according to sources familiar with the issue. That led to the shift proposed in the current version; the governor still must decide whether to allow an extra tax increase for a subset of employers, even if it is offset with reduced increases for most businesses.
The familiar Sunoco signs that grace every rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike would be a thing of the past if a bill being sponsored by Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney was enacted.
But Statehouse insiders aren't expecting the measure to become law.
The bill, S-1821, would prohibit the Turnpike Authority or South Jersey Transportation Authority from entering into a contract with any gas seller unless its supplier operates a refinery in the state.
Sweeney sees the bill as a way to promote economic development, according to Chris Donnelly, a Sweeney spokesman.
"The Senate president is always trying to help businesses and create jobs here in New Jersey, and that is exactly what this bill will do," Donnelly said.
But a source familiar with the issue suggested that Sweeney pursued the measure due to Sunoco's handling of a former refinery in West Deptford, where the Democrat's legislative office is located. Sweeney recently criticized the West Deptford council for agreeing to settle a tax appeal with Sunoco and El Paso over the now-closed Eagle Point Refinery, which was formerly operated by Sunoco and then El Paso.
Sweeney is upset with both Sunoco and the Republican-led council over the situation, fueling his push for the bill, according to the source.
Another source said the bill's chances in the Assembly didn't appear good, so the measure may never reach Christie's veto pen. Assemblyman John J. Burzichelli (D-West Deptford) is the Assembly sponsor.

Product Backstory
Commando, Ninja...Silent Master. The enigma who came to be known as Snake-Eyes is one of the G.I. Joe Team's most valuable and deadly weapons. Without uttering a sound, while utilizing his extensive military background and training at the hands of the Arashikage Clan, the Silent Master has served Cobra many setbacks in their endeavor of worldwide terror. Before Snake-Eyes was recruited by the G.I. JOE team, he lived in isolation in a cabin located in the High Sierras, refining his skills while seeking solace from the tragedies in his past and the world which molded him. During this period of solitude he was befriended by a wild wolf that came to be known as Timber. Though never truly tamed in the conventional sense, Timber developed a sense of protectiveness toward his companion, as Snake-Eyes did toward him. When Snake-Eyes joined the JOE team in its global pursuit of the terrorist organization Cobra, Timber remained close at hand and served just as critical a role in vital missions as his companion. The two companions are a constant thorn in the plans of Cobra and through swift and deadly measures they continue to stand in Cobra's deadly path.Product Reviews
Perfect Snake-Eyes!
This figure set is totally badass! I was shocked at how *huge* Timber is! They both somehow look way better up close than the photos portray. So glad Sideshow went back and really nailed this figure for people like me who missed out the first time around. The included accessories are just sick!

But they were usually available when you wanted something vegetarian and something hot, and sometimes that was good enough.
I have been on a mission to reduce the amount of sweets cooked in my kitchen and that means coming up with recipes to satisfy the snack-seeking Desi when we get home from work late in the afternoon. It's either that or gobs of peanut butter and jelly on toast. Since that latter option doesn't appeal to me as it does to him, I try when I can to come up with something different.
These vegetable cutlets are a great option because their lusciousness owes itself to the great spud and not fat. I've said this before and I'll repeat it-- potatoes are one of the best veggies around, and they appeal to almost anyone, child or adult. What usually gives potatoes a bad rep is the way they are prepared-- deep-fried, or topped with tons of unhealthy cheese or sour cream. But find a healthy way to cook it, and you can have your potato and eat it too.
I've no time to chat today, so I'll leave you with the recipe for these cutlets. They're easy and they taste better than any vegetable cutlet I ever ate at a railway cafeteria. They're also versatile-- you could add to these grated carrots, green peppers...use your imagination. The best part-- like I told Desi, it's like eating your veggies for a snack.
How great is that?
3 medium russet potatoes, boiled and mashed. Leave their jackets on-- potatoes hide most of their best nutrition right under the skin, so it's never a good idea to peel them. Make sure, though, that the potato skins are in small bits.
1 cup green peas
1 cup green beans, chopped fairly fine
1 medium onion, finely diced
1/4 cup chopped cashewnuts
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp red chilli powder, like paprika or-- if you want more heat-- cayenne
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Juice of 1 lemon or lime
1/4 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
1/2 cup of bread crumbs (I used panko -- Japanese bread crumbs that crisp up really well). Place in a plate for dredging the cutlets.
1 tbsp canola or other vegetable oil
Spray oil
Salt to taste
Heat oil in a skillet. Add the cumin seeds, and, once they sputter, add the onions and garlic.
Stir-fry the onions for about a couple of minutes until they start to soften.
Add the chilli and turmeric powders, stir into the oil, then add the peas and green beans. Cook for another two or three minutes until they are quite tender.
Add the mashed potatoes and stir well together. Add salt to taste, and lemon juice.
Turn off the heat and stir in the coriander leaves and the flour. Set aside so the potatoes are cool enough to handle.
Heat a cast-iron or non-stick skillet.
Spray on a film of oil.
Take a 1-inch ball of the potato mixture and flatten it into a disc.
Dredge it through the panko crumbs so you have a fairly even coating on both sides.
Place the cutlets one by one in the hot skillet, without overcrowding. Cook on each side until golden-brown.
Serve hot with ketchup.

$1 million bail set for man in child porn case
BY BILL BIRD firstname.lastname@example.com January 31, 2013 1:00PM
Mitchell Brady of Naperville has been indictedon felony charges of aggravated child pornography possession. | Submitted
Updated: March 2, 2013 12:06PM
A man from Naperville's far south side faces a potential 30-year prison term, after being arrested and charged with downloading child pornography from the Internet in his home.
Bail was set Thursday at $1 million for Mitchell J. Brady, 50. He remained Thursday evening in Will County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond.
Brady lives on the 1300 block of Windemere Avenue, in the Brook Crossing area of Naperville. He faces trial on six Class X felony charges of child pornography involving a person, animal or victim under the age of 13, according to Will County Circuit Court records.
Members of the Naperville Police Department's High Technology Crimes Unit had Brady under investigation for two months, after developing information he was involved in the possession and distribution of child pornography.
Police Sgt. Lou Cammiso said members of the high tech crimes unit and Special Operations Group about 9:15 p.m. Wednesday used a warrant to search Brady's house.
"Upon locating videos and images of children under the age of 13 engaged in sexual conduct, Mitchell Brady was taken into custody" and charged with child pornography, Cammiso said Thursday in a release. He was subsequently taken to jail.
Cammiso's statement did not indicate how many allegedly pornographic images and videos were confiscated from Brady's home.
An examination of court documents revealed Brady has received myriad traffic citations in Will County and DuPage County, but has no criminal record.
A Class X felony carries a mandatory sentence of six to 30 years in prison upon conviction. Brady's arraignment date is set for Feb. 26.

On Saturday, Democrats celebrated the grand opening of the Richmond County Democratic Party's election headquarters located in the Richmond Plaza Shopping Center in Rockingham.
"We're very excited about the event," said Jane Layton, chairperson of the Richmond County Democratic Party. "We hope our election headquarters will serve as a convenient location for the people of Richmond County to register to vote as well as obtain information on our candidates."
Festivities began at 11 a.m. with several local and state politicians in attendance.
"We are glad to be in our new building and we hope everyone will come out to join us for the grand opening," said Jim Chandler, secretary of the Richmond County Democratic Party.
"It's so important that people get out to vote. However, to vote, a person must be registered and then needs to be informed about the issues and the candidates. We want our headquarters to help the citizens of Richmond County do both of these things," said Wenonia Wall, first vice-chair of the Richmond Democratic party.
Following the grand opening, election headquarters will be open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 910-817-9704.

It doesn't even train you well for the real world. Real world nursing is so much harder. You get better training in associates degrees with more clinicals."Me: "Interesting. So you pay a lot of money to learn BS. And then get full pay for 6-12 weeks of on the job training while you're practicing on patients?"Nurse: "That pretty much sums it up."Me: "So it's kind of like a residency, only you're getting a real paycheck to learn what your school should have taught you."Nurse: "Yep"Me: "Shouldn't nurses in on the job training be paid a fraction of what they normally get?"Nurse: "Of course not. It's part of the job."Me: "What, the training?"Nurse: "Yes"Me: "Then why aren't medical residents paid full doctor salary for their three to seven year residencies/fellowships if all other health care professionals expect to earn full wage to learn on the job?"Nurse: *silence* "Good question."

Nursing School Is Easy
17 Outbursts:
- AnonymousMay 4, 2009 at 8:08 PM
ADN's do do more clinical. I have another degree, and chose ADN specifically because of this. The majority of my class are already quite accomplished. Rumor is that BSN's sit at the nurses station all day. ADN's are at bedside and communicate with physicians better.
And folks... I've just opened a huge can of worms, lets go fishin!
-Second career nursing student - micheleMay 4, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Hmmmm. I've worked with both ASN and BSN students, and I far prefer the ASN. They work harder and understand they have to get their hands dirty. This might be because they tend to be older. And, while the BSNers come from University of Texas, which is a hard school to get into, they don't seem to be any smarter. Real conversation I heard with my own ears:
Instructor- So you're going to cut this 25 mg pill in half. So how much will the patient get?
BSN Student- Half a pill?
Instuctor- How many milligrams will the patient get?
Student- (blank look)
Instructor- How much 25 divided by 2?
Student- Let me get my calculator. - micheleMay 4, 2009 at 9:05 PM
To be fair, Happy, although I earned the full of hourly wage in my training period, that hourly wage was not very much - $12.01/hr, back in 1991. And we only got 4 weeks of orientation, and I took my own patient load after the first week or so. I worked nights for years and years to make a desperately needed extra 15%. In 1998 my base pay had risen to the princely sum of $15.50/hr. Contrast that with physician salary and perks when they have completed their "orientation." I'm not begrudging you that - you guys earn it. But as little as the hospital paid us GN's, I think they would have had a revolt on their hands had they suggested we be paid even less.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMay 4, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Resident pay approximately $41,000/yr. Divide that by 50 weeks (assuming two week vacay), you get $820/wk...80 hour weeks you get $10.25/hr.
RIDICULOUS. Especially for the time you've put in and loans you've taken out.
Just saying. - AnonymousMay 4, 2009 at 11:40 PM
What i dont get is why he calls himself "happy" hospitalist.
I wonder what he defines as happy... Sounds like you have alot of time on your hands Happy...Did my Internship 88-89, made $22,500 salary, $1,000 moving allowance, 2 weeks vacation, and the week after Christmas. Conservatively figuring 80 hr weeks, came to a little over $5/hr... thats why I stole like $30,000 worth of scrubs...
Frank, M.D.- micheleMay 5, 2009 at 6:17 AM
Welll, I'm chatty today, but I just have to address your nursing shortage comment. I don't believe it. There's a hospital nursing shortage, yes, but it's one the hospitals have brought upon themselves, for two reasons.
1)It's my firm belief hospitals are slow to hire so they can tell their staff "hey, we got no one else, you're just gonna have to work short today" so they don't have to spend the money on adequate staffing. I recently went job-hunting, and I knew from previous experience that the hospitals' preferred online application process would get me nowhere. It took going up the unit, in my scrubs, resume in hand with the announcement "here I am, I can work today." This is for a PRN position - very low risk from the hospital's point of view. My coworkers have had similar experiences - it took them weeks to get hired for even posted positions. So I have to conclude they deliberately underhire so they can keep us short which translates into saving money for them.
2)Hospitals are rigid and inflexible. They pay lip service to "nurse friendly" and "nursing congress" but there's this undercurrent of "like it or leave it." Area hospitals only hire for 12 hour shifts, period. Well, for women with small children that doesn't cut it. They'd get more staff if they allowed 8 hour shifts, every 3rd weekend instead of every 2, implemented the Baylor program, tripled the holiday pay so there'd be plenty of volunteers, etc, but they don't want to go the trouble or expense of working out the details. - AnonymousMay 5, 2009 at 6:33 AM
The multiple entry pathways to becoming a registered nurse has been asked and answered ad nauseum, and I have no reason to replay the fray here.
However, the individual you quoted is patently an ass, and likely stupid to boot. Nursing is a second career for me, and with a BA already under my belt I went the BSN route. Frankly, I studied my tail off, and I am fairly skilled academically. Maybe my focus on the elements of nursing that AREN'T "just common sense" had something to do with graduating summa cum laude, with the Clincal Excellence Award for the year, and all after getting a grant to cover all my tuition and books [smart + poor = money from my Uncle Sam] This is not meant to be self agrandizement, but the truth is that good nurses are smart nurses. A chimp can learn procedures, but as earlier stated here, the "why's" are the tricky part.
Pattie, RN [BSN, CRRN, CHPN, COHN] - AnonymousMay 5, 2009 at 6:43 AM
Then Happy, you need to refocus that unhappy part of Happy into a teaching Happy. I am sure you would build a great relationship with those new nurses who, would now be so happy when they see you, happy coming down the hall.
They will look forward to your visits, knowing that you are not just a "drive-by" internist, and that you will actually tell them what you think might be going on with their patients, and ask them if they agree, or have anything they think you should know...
After all, some of us have spent years working with corporate execs on a totally collaborative level, and do form negative opinions of co-workers who don't play well with others on the team. We see you guys (Docs and nurses, etc.) as a co-workers, not at all of the executive realm. So when there is a lofty attitude, or witholding of needed information, we tend to move to eliminate you from our team as the weak link. The second career folks know they have a lot to learn in this new field... we are more open to it than most. And tend to be more the cool heads.

Happy is 100% correct. I don't agree with everything you say, but I agree with this.

I don't know about fairness of the Residency payment, but there is certainly precedent. For instance, at least when my bro-in-law went through, apprentices in the building trades got considerably less than the Journeymen (Journey people?). IIRC his apprenticeship was about 5 years at the time.
ReplyDelete Nursing school is definitely not easy, but I don't think it's difficult in the way other academic disciplines are difficult. I have good standardized test scores and took an upper level bio course in Virology last semester, doing well compared with the senior level biology majors. I'm "struggling" in nursing school in the sense of constantly having work to do and being anxious all the time, but I haven't done much reading and have gotten decent exam scores. Just like real nursing practice, there is a lot of time wasted on paperwork.
I did 13 weeks of everything, ADNs do much less. 13 weeks peds, 13 weeks L&D/postpartum/crotch, 13 weeks psych, 13 weeks public health, 13 weeks med/surg, 160 clinical hours of critical care, blah blahAs per my comment above, what are we doing in these 13 weeks of X, though? Care planning where the majority of time is spent looking up research articles? That teaches you a methodology, but not patient care. BTW, 160+ hours of critical care clinicals is not the norm for a BSN program.
That they are screwed so often financially is evident by the big nursing shortage which has arrivedActually, the research shows that the patient load is a bigger factor than salary. The nursing shortage is a result of the vast number of nurses who leave nursing work after a few years on the job. One study showed that over 60% would return to work in nursing if patient-staff ratios were better controlled.- AnonymousMay 5, 2009 at 1:26 PM
As a new-graduate nurse, I made less per hour during my orientation period than when I was on my own. Granted, it wasn't as big of a difference as with residents/attendings, but proportionally it may've been somewhat close.

Furthering nursing education is great, and pretty much essential, but numerous degrees, and fluff, can not replace the importance of a nurse who actually cares, has compassion, and has a load of experience. An experienced bedside nurse can pretty much out shine any self promoter who enjoys listing degrees as a past time, versus someone who is humble, intellegent, vigilant and is calm and cool in the middle of any emergency and knows exactley what to do. I don't care about all the other stuff, just as long my care is the nurse's priorty and knows and understands what I need, and when I need it.

Speaking of nurses, and education you know I am an RN, and I have known and worked with some of the brightest, and smartest nurses that are not all RNs, but LPNs, mind you they had quite a few years of experience, but these skilled nurses where able to recognize serious potential life threating issues, that an otherwise experienced RN had missed. I have been an Rn for only 3 years, and my first job I was trained partially by an experienced LPN, and she was amazing, she taught me things I never knew, even after I was on my own, and handeling my own emergencies. She eventually went back to get her ADN, but in my book she already had the knowledge of an RN, and I would take her as my nurse any day.

Spotlight On November.
Arlen Specter, he of many faces, is gone. His epitaph will be that he turned his back on his friends, only to turn his back on those friends… one too many times out there, Arlen. Arlen Specter is a victim of his own perfidy. There was a time that Specter could count on wide support. Voters turned on him. Republicans didn't like him and Democrats didn't trust him. The huge inner city voter turnout he was gambling on didn't develop.
The 'incumbent' syndrome most certainly came into play here as the voters turned away from Specter, voting instead for former Admiral, Rep. Joe Sestak. Sestak now goes on to face Conservative Republican Pat Toomey in November.
Rand Paul, son of Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, won a walk-away victory in Kentucky against Republican Trey Grayson. Rand Paul was able to paint Grayson as the quintessential country club Republican. Paul proudly identifies himself as a 'Tea Party' member and they certainly came out for him in force.

One month to the day after two West Webster firefighters were gunned down in an early-morning ambush, the West Webster Fire Department is planning to attend the funeral of another fallen firefighter.
It hasn't even been a week since Fire Captain Matthew Porcari of the Owego Fire Department was killed. He fell through the unstable floor of a burning house in Owego.
In Tioga County, the pain is still very raw in that fire department and community. Here in West Webster near Rochester, firefighters feel that pain too.
Of course, exactly one month ago Thursday, two West Webster firefighters were gunned down on Lake Road. And the West Webster Fire Department will be sending their contingent of firefighters to stand guard at the funeral in Central New York for Matthew Porcari this Sunday.
Fire department spokesman Al Sienkiewicz says it's something the department would normally do, but after what happened here in West Webster, there is an added significance. "We've been the recipients of all the support for the last three to four weeks, and I guess you have to experience it, you have to go through it, to truly appreciate it," Sienkiewicz said. "And now we know, truly, what they're going through down there. Whatever we can do to try to ease that – we'll be there."
The West Webster Fire Department has been told that the late Captain Matthew Porcari coordinated the effort for the Owego Fire Department when they sent firefighters here to support West Webster when Mike Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka were laid to rest.
That connection is just another addition to this story of the love and brotherhood that all firefighters feel towards one another, only strengthened in times of tragedy.

Johnston led a team at the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, a research arm of the U.S. Department of Energy, in one of the most disturbing e-voting machine hacks to date, in the view of Brad Friedman, proprietor of the Brad Blog and a vocal critic on the subject of voting machine security.
Hacking on the cheap
Call it hacking on the taxpayers' dime -- and on the cheap, too. Voting machines used by as many as a quarter of American voters heading to the polls in 2012 can be hacked with just $10.50 in parts and an 8th-grade science education, Friedman reported in a review of the experiment.
"...the Argonne team's attack required no modification, reprogramming, or even knowledge, of the voting machine's proprietary source code. It was carried out by inserting a piece of inexpensive 'alien electronics' into the machine," he wrote.
This is just one of several hacks in recent years designed to reveal vulnerabilities in voting machines, including one in which the video game Pac Man was installed on a voting machine.
If you want to know what types of equipment your state uses for voting, check out www.verifiedvoting.org.
According to the group's website:
• One-quarter of the nation's registered voters will use paperless electronic voting machines that provide no paper record of votes cast. In six states (Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey and South Carolina) there is only paperless electronic voting. In five states (Indiana, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee and Virginia), the heavy majority of ballots cast are paperless.
• Two-thirds of American voters use paper ballots. In 19 states, voters will use paper ballots statewide. In 13 states and the District of Columbia, optical scan voting will account for the majority of ballots.
• Thirty-three states plus the District of Columbia provide a paper record for every vote cast. That may be a paper ballot or a printout that the voter can view before casting a ballot on an electric machine.

A lot of guys talk about their cars being rare and go to great lengths to prove it. I often laugh at pedigree reports on some of the cars I've seen at shows: "One of 4508 built in this color, and of those only 2369 had power steering, and of those only 648 also had an 8-track player, and of those only 36 were delivered to South Dakota, and of those only one was sold on March 18, 1969 – THIS IS THAT CAR! "
As you undoubtedly know, we specialize in the rare, the unusual, and the unique. Witness our 1-of-5 1964 Dodge 440 with a 426 street wedge and a 4-speed, or our 1-of-368 1971 Hemi Cuda. Documented, rare cars like these clearly have value to collectors, but while a unique combination of options makes a car cool, there's really nothing we've seen lately that can compare with an entire model run that consists of just 17 cars.
Yes, this is one of only 17 1971 Pontiac GTO Judge convertibles built. Ever. Not one of only 17 Laurentian Green ones (in fact, there are only 2 of those this is the one with a black top and interior), not one of only 17 remaining cars, but one of only 17 EVER BUILT. In the muscle car world where they were all mass produced by the tens of thousands, the 1971 Judge convertible, like the Hemi 'Cuda convertibles, stands out in its rarity, and any top collector aspires to have one in his collection. There are no questions, no asterisks, no explanations needed with a car of this caliber it is fully documented, fully restored, and numbers-matching.
For a long time, nobody was even sure whether any of these were actually built, and if they were, whether any had survived. There was a sighting of one in Hemmings Motor News sometime in the early 1980s, but that trail went cold pretty quickly. It wasn't until this very car was discovered in the mid-1990s and restored by Pontiac expert and noted restorer Scott Tiemann at Supercar Specialties that Pontiac fans really started getting excited. This car has an extremely interesting history, and was the catalyst that led to the eventual discovery of the remaining convertibles (it appears that two or three have been relegated to the great scrap yard in the sky). At some point the stripes and spoiler on this car were removed, making it look like any of the other 660 garden-variety GTO convertibles built in '71, but the guys at PHS (that's Pontiac Historical Services to you non-Poncho lovers) did some digging and found the original invoice on this car and proved it was one of the 17 original Judge convertibles. And, having discovered the Holy Grail of Pontiac muscle cars, they scanned through hundreds of thousands of microfiche images to locate the documents on all 17 cars and show how they were equipped. Talk about the spark that ignited an inferno!
Today, this car is very, very well known in Pontiac circles, and shows up on dozens of websites and in books and magazines too numerous to count. It was restored to top concours condition and is 100% factory accurate throughout. And before you question the price tag on this car, consider this: a Judge ragtop in triple-white (the most common color for '71 GTO Judge convertibles) just sold at the Mecum auction in May 2010 for more than a quarter of a million dollars. This is a serious piece for the big kids to play with, not a toy.
I have copies of the original invoice and window sticker, and they show the following options:
The Judge package
G70-14 white letter tires
Stereo 8-track player
Outside mirrors
Power disc brakes
Rally gauge cluster
Turbo hydramatic automatic transmission
Stereo radio
Power steering
Ride and handling springs and shocks
Hood-mounted tachometer
If you're familiar with Pontiac muscle, you know Scott Tiemann, the man who restored this car to its current breathtaking condition. Sure, it's about a zillion times nicer than it was originally, but seriously, who wouldn't make a car this rare and valuable as perfect as possible? The 2-stage Laurentian Green paint is deep and rich, and has been color sanded and buffed to an eye-popping shine. There's no orange peel, no waviness, no paint defects anywhere on the body of this car. Panel gaps are even all around, and the doors open and close effortlessly. Correct Judge stripes and emblems were installed, of course, and the callouts for the engine were added on the ends of the rear wing. The hood has been properly dressed as well, with a functional tach and Ram Air decals on the functional hood scoops. The Endura front bumper is in outstanding condition with virtually no signs of flexing or age. This Judge was restored more than a decade ago, and STILL looks ready to take the field at the Pontiac Nationals in August.
The chrome is perfect, including the rear bumper. No waves, dings, or rust anywhere. Glass is correct and unmarked all around, lenses are 100% accurate and clear, and, well, what else can I say beyond, "Wow, this is an amazing car! " In addition, this car was initially restored with a white top, but the current owner just recently installed a correct black convertible top that fits as well as any I've ever seen. That installation also included a new glass rear window, and if this top cost less than $3500, I'd be shocked.
Standard power plant on all the Judge convertibles was the vaunted Pontiac 455 cubic inch High Output V8. Assisted by a Ram Air system, it churns out 335 horsepower and a mountainous 480 pounds of torque, all despite the drop in compression in anticipation of unleaded fuels. This is the original engine, and Scott Tiemann thoughtfully left the stamping pad unpainted to verify the numbers stamped thereon. Heads are correct, the intake is correct, the carburetor is correct, the air cleaner with flapper valves for the Ram Air system is correct, the exhaust manifolds are correct, and, well, should I continue? Hoses, wires, clamps, and all the hardware is accurate in the smallest details. The engine paint does show some signs of heat cycling, but this car has not been driven any significant distance since the restoration was completed I bet much of that heat comes simply from driving on and off the trailer at shows. Correct inspection marks and indicators have been accurately replicated on the firewall and various engine parts, and as you can see in the photos, are still 100% visible today. Amazingly, it appears that this car was an amazingly well preserved original before the restoration, since the radiator cradle seems to still be carrying its original emissions sticker, wrinkled though it may be. The cradle looks beautifully restored, but I just don't see how they could remove that sticker intact and reinstall it, and there's no sign of masking around it this was an incredibly clean car from day one.
Underneath, there's more proof. There's no pitting on any of the hard parts, and the floors are beautiful. Clearly done on a rotisserie, the chassis is highly detailed throughout, with correct inspection markings, components, and fully functional in every way. The TH400 3-speed automatic was rebuilt at the time of restoration, and works exactly as it should. It feeds a correct 12-bolt rear packing 3.55 gears, which were standard with 455/automatic Judges. The exhaust system is an exact reproduction, and all the lines and hoses are better than new. Drive it if you dare, and rest assured that mechanically, this car is in top condition.
It rides on a set of cool Pontiac "honeycomb" or "polycast" wheels, which, believe it or not, are steel, not aluminum. GM liked the design and knew that it would be plenty strong, but the costs of casting the intricate pattern in aluminum were prohibitive. Instead, the centers were cast in steel, and then welded to spun steel rim halves like a regular Rally 2 wheel. Finally, the entire assembly was sprayed with a polyurethane elastomer coating to give it its final finish, which does, indeed look very similar to cast aluminum. The wheels on this car have been expertly restored to the correct finish, and now wear reproduction G70-14 Firestone Wide Oval white letter tires.
The interior is stuffed full of more amazing workmanship and accuracy. The black bucket seat interior is the correct color for this car, and the materials used are exact reproductions of the original weave. The seats have new covers and foam, the carpets are new, and the dash pad has been perfectly restored. The gauges were rebuilt when the car was restored and new wood grain appliqués were used. Even the sporty engine-turned panel surrounding the steering wheel was professionally restored to better-than-new condition. The optional 8-track player is functional and mounted to the console, while the stereo radio in the dash was restored. A matching black vinyl convertible top boot hides the top when it is folded for a clean look, and it is in fine condition. Under that deck lid and heavy wing is a clean trunk with a correct mat, matching spare, an ancient, unused Firestone Wide Oval spare, and a correct jack assembly. And again, like the decal on the radiator cradle, the jacking instructions under the deck lid sure look original and the decal was somehow preserved during the restoration. Nice!
Documentation includes a full PHS package, including a copy of the original invoice, window sticker and other related pieces. This car is a multiple award winner, having won Best of Show at the GTOAA Nationals and the Muscle Car Restorations and Performance magazine Award of Excellence, among others. Of course, any search for '1971 Judge convertible" on the Internet will turn up dozens of additional places where this car has been noted and documented, making it one of the best known Pontiac muscle cars in the world. Showing up with this car in your trailer at virtually any show will be a very big deal, and there are very few venues where it will not be welcomed and embraced.
We are incredibly excited to be representing this amazing car. In terms of significance to collectors, it's awfully hard to beat, and there are very few cars outside of celebrity-owned vehicles and old race cars that can even come close to matching its popularity on the Internet. All the documents are in order, and it is matching numbers throughout. Without question, this is a blue chip investment for the most discriminating of collectors, and there are only 12 or 13 other guys in the world whose Pontiac collections are as complete as the man who owns this car. Top it all off with an award-winning restoration by the best in the business, and there's not much I can add that make this car sound any more amazing that it already is. At this price, you might think that this car will be a tough sell. However, I'm going to respectfully disagree at this price, to a top collector, a car like this is a screaming bargain. Call today!

Getting into the holiday spirit: Annual craft fair set for Saturday in Plano
Kelsey Kruzich / Staff Photo: Leslie Madison shows off one of her personalized Christmas ornaments.
By Bill Conrad,
on Twitter
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 12:16 PM CST
Christmas is nearly here, which means one of the area's largest Christmas-themed craft shows is just around the corner.
The 34th Annual Christmas Craft Fair is being held Saturday at the Oak Point Recreation Center in Plano. More than 60 vendors will be selling their wares, ranging from ornaments and tree skirts to decorative wreaths and yard art.
"These are mainly mom-and-pop vendors from Texas, but we also have people coming in from Oklahoma and Arkansas," said Karen Williams, parks and recreation event coordinator with the city of Plano. "Most shows are geared more toward the gift buyer, but a lot of our vendors sell things that people will buy to put in their own homes rather than give as a gift."
One of the vendors is Leslie Madison, a Plano resident who has sold her customized wooden Christmas ornaments at the show for the past 25 years.
"The Plano fair has always been very busy," Madison said. "It is a very nice craft fair and you can usually find almost anything you are looking for. And the best part is that it is free to get in."
One of Madison's most popular ornaments is her family ornament, which changes each year to ensure she has repeat customers. The family ornaments have a Christmas theme, with room for each family member's name, as well as the year the ornament was purchased.
"I do everything from scratch," Madison said. "I take a piece of wood and cut out the design and then paint and glaze the ornaments by hand. They are then personalized at the show."
The show runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Oak Point Recreation Center, 6000 Jupiter Parkway. For information on Madison's ornaments, visit

For more than forty years, the Department of Theology has offered M.A. and Ph.D. degrees, and now also offers the Master of Arts in Christian Doctrine (M.A.C.D.), which can be taken on campus or 100% online.
Marquette has traditionally offered an integrated graduate education in theology, providing every student background and methodological training in biblical, historical, and systematics/ethics as well as an in-depth specialization in one of the three.
The M.A. and Ph.D. programs seek to develop scholars who can make significant contributions to theological research and writing, and college teachers who can teach a broad range of courses to undergraduate students.
Because of its classically structured education, Marquette has enjoyed great success in placing doctoral graduates in teaching positions in over 200 colleges and universities, in church work and ministry, and in a variety of other educationally related occupations.
The M.A.C.D. program focuses on an ecumenical appropriation and communication of Christian doctrine for theology teachers in Catholic high schools, for teachers in other religious education or formation programs, and for persons interested either simply in theological enrichment or in serving various other needs in their religious communities.
Marquette's program seeks to develop scholars who can
