Student Home PageRecent FindingsInformation coming soon.Project OverviewManual skills are of significant importance amongst many health professions. Dentistry, Surgery, Nursing and Podiatry are all professions which require a high level of psychomotor capability in addition to cognitive abilities in order to succeed. A large part of the required skill set can be attributed directly to dexterity.
Dexterity is defined as "manual ability that requires rapid coordination of gross or fine voluntary movements, based on a certain number of capacities, which are developed through learning, training and experience" (Poirier 1988, p71).
Teaching manual skills across disciplines and across programs is inconsistent and may lack an evidence-based approach. To date there is very little literature on clinical teaching and assessment of manual skills in the Podiatry profession. It seems pertinent in the age of evidence-based practice to investigate the teaching of manual clinical skills and the psychomotor elements which relate to them. Consequently the overall aim of Ryan's project is:
By doing this it is hoped that we can establish a method to objectively identify struggling students and implement techniques to improve their dexterity and subsequent performance without putting the public at risk. Furthermore, in the future we may use the findings from this project to investigate and evaluate further teaching tools.

Project OverviewInvestigations of individually prescribed custom made foot orthoses by podiatrists in adults with symptomatic pes planus (flat feet).
Flexible pes planus (flat feet) is a descriptive term for feet that have a visually lowered medial longitudinal arch often in association with rearfoot eversion1. Reported to affect approximately 15% of the adult population2 pes planus can be categorised as either symptomatic (painful, non-functional) or non-symptomatic (non-painful, functional) with the literature purporting that flexible non-symptomatic pes planus is a predominantly benign condition with no justification for intervention3. When pes planus is symptomatic however, functional foot orthoses (FO) are often prescribed and remain the most commonly quoted intervention within the literature4. However, currently there is little evidence to support this use of FO for symptomatic pes planus nor a demonstrative understanding of their mechanism of action. Underlying this is also the ongoing concern that, as a profession, podiatrists have not established practice guidelines or alike for the prescription of FO for pes planus.
The proposed PhD studies will investigate a number of clinical issues for orthosis prescription for symptomatic pes planus by podiatrists.
Stage one will establish the current prescription habits and use of foot orthosis by a retrospective clinical note audit of the largest prescription clinic in South Australia (UniSA's podiatry biomechanics clinic). Stage two will be a systematic review of evidence for the use of foot orthosis in the pes planus population. Stage three will involve a Delphi consensus (three or four round survey) to determine best practice prescription methods for customising the foot orthoses and stage four will investigate if the use of 'best practice' prescribed foot orthosis has an influence on the commonly reported symptoms of pes planus around pain, fatigue and function.
Student Home PageRecent Findings2011 is an exciting year for collecting data. Recruitment of participants, scouting for adroit and committed research assistants, systematising a flurry of paper work, dealing with red tape, and keeping the line-up of participants full are amongst the challenges I dealt with. Data collection is not as simple as it sounds. It involved lots of critical thinking to solve surging concerns during implementation of the study so as to ensure accrual of unbiased data. As on off shoot of this exercise, it strengthened professional ties among physical therapy professors, alumni and rehabilitation doctors of the University of Santo Tomas who were part of this data collection.
The diagnostic examination of patients with pain on the outer aspect of the elbow (lateral epicondylar pain) and the cadaver dissection had put in variety in my PhD. The 6-day intensive cadaver dissection workshop by Gil Hedley which I attended in the United States of America helped put in perspective the approach that I would take in systematically dissecting the elbow. The 20 elbows which I had dissected in the University of Santo Tomas, Philippines unfolded the intricate connections that are inherent in the human fasciae of the elbow. The pictures taken during the cadaver dissection and the imprint it created on my mind had provided important anatomical and biomechanical insights as I stressed the elbow joints of the participants with lateral epicondylar pain during their diagnostic examination.
Of course, writing was always a part of my PhD no matter how busy the data collection was. With the guidance of Karen Grimmer-Somers, Kerry Thoirs and Consuelo Suarez, we were able to publish a paper entitled, 'Inter-Tester Reliability of Sonographers in Detecting Pathological Lesions in the Elbow of Individuals with Lateral Epicondylar Pain' which is available in this link http://www.worldscinet.com/jmr/00/0002/S0218957712500017.html.
2011 was definitely a challenging and an enjoyable part of my PhD. I am looking forward to an enriching writing experience in 2012.
Project OverviewVal's current study is on the diagnosis and upper extremity biomechanics of patients suffering from lateral epicondylitis.
Student Home PageRecent FindingsMichelle has a webpage devoted to her project, go here for more details.Project OverviewMichelle's PhD is looking at community services involvement in discharge planning. The overall purpose of this study was to develop a set of guiding principles to improve the discharge process of older adults from hospital into the community through concerted and planned involvement of local community services. The aged and community care industry is increasing in importance, with demand for services expected to double in Australia over the next 20 years (ACSA, 2001).This increase in demand is driven by the ageing population in Australia, particularly in the very old age group (>85 years) (ACSA, 2001).As a result of this ageing demographic, services to address the health, well-being and quality of life of older Australians are currently of paramount importance, and this will continue to be into the future. As people age they are at increased risk of developing diseases and disabilities, and as a result older people are disproportionately high users of health and community services (ASCA, 2001).With increasing usage of these services there is a strong emphasis in Australia for community services to play a larger role in optimising older peoples' health and wellbeing in the community (ASCA, 2001; NCOSS, 2010).In doing so, and assisting in managing older people discharged from hospital, community services can help to alleviate some of the demand for acute care services by older people. My research highlights that community services in South Australia play a vital role in assisting to manage older peoples' health and wellbeing after discharge from hospital. One of the factors influencing this role (as identified by the community service providers who were interviewed) was the different models under which the hospital and community services operate.The community service providers identified that the hospital and the community operate under different health models. With the hospital operating predominately under a Biomedical Model (NCOSS, 2010; Wade & Halligan, 2004) and community services under a Social Model (ASCA, 2001; NCOSS, 2010).

Student Home PageRecent FindingsNow in the third year of my PhD candidature, I have collected all data for the third and final study of my research. As previously reported in the PhD corner, my study aims to explore the determinants of individual allied health practitioners' uptake of EBP using the iCAHE journal club as a medium. I would like to find out the characteristics of practitioners who are likely or not likely to benefit from a journal club approach. Baseline measurements of knowledge, skills, behaviour relevant to EBP were collected between March and May 2011. Journal club meetings then ran for six months, after which, post measurements were gathered using the same questionnaires. The next months will be devoted to the statistical analysis of my data and writing of a manuscript based on findings from this study.
My journey has been very challenging but equally rewarding and enjoyable. In the past year, I was able to present my research findings from the first two studies in local as well as international conferences. I was fortunate to listen and speak with people who are as passionate as I am in promoting evidence-based practice in allied health. Not meaning to show off, I am also very pleased with the two publications that came out from my first two studies. To provide useful resources to researchers who work in the same area, here are the links to the papers:
Lizarondo L, Grimmer-Somers K, Kumar S (2011): Exploring the perspectives of allied health practitioners regarding the use of journal clubs as a medium for promoting evidence-based practice: a qualitative study. BMC Medical Education 11: 66.
Lizarondo L, Grimmer-Somers K, Kumar S (2011): A systematic review of the individual determinants of research evidence use in allied health. Journal of Multidisciplinary Health Care 4: 261-272.
Project OverviewSince working in iCAHE in 2008, I have been assisting allied health practitioners in South Australia organise their journal clubs using the iCAHE model (http://www.unisa.edu.au/cahe/Resources/JC/journalclub.asp). This journal club initiative is part of iCAHE's commitment to promote the use of research evidence in making decisions about health care. Because of my exposure to this project, I have developed a strong interest in evidence-based practice (EBP), specifically the role of journal club in bridging the gap between research and practice.
Student Home PageRecent FindingsThere were significant differences between the participants in terms of their LPE and EMG results, which indicates that a case series is the most appropriate study design for future research. LPE ratings appear to be a valid measure of strain as they correlate positively with playing duration for most flautists, however they did not correlate well with tempo for any of the participants. EMG measures did not correlate well with playing duration for any of the participants, and only correlated well with tempo in the forearm extensors. LPE and EMG measures did not correlate well with one another. In conclusion, LPE ratings appear to be a valid measure of strain in some flautists, but they are not a valid measure of muscle activity specifically.
Project OverviewThe aim of this project was to examine the validity of local perceived exertion (LPE) ratings made using Borg's CR10 scale in adult, high-level flute players. We looked specifically at the forearm extensor and upper trapezius regions. This was done by examining the correlation between these ratings and playing duration and the tempo (speed) at which they played a set exercise. Electromyography (EMG) was also used to measure muscle activity in the same regions. The correlation between this and tempo and playing duration was also examined, as was the correlation with the LPE ratings. This forms the first stage of developing a project to investigate the risk factors for playing-related musculoskeletal disorders in flautists, and strategies for prevention.

Play That Beat Mr Raja Vol 1 – Selected Oddities From The Tamil Film Industry 1984 to 1991Various
LP (Item 544263) Cartilage (UK), 1980s — Condition: New Copy
Totally great – an amazing collection of music from the Tamil Film Industry in India – also known as Kollywood in some circles, and home to sounds that are quite different from more familiar Bollywood modes! The styles here are great – often a lot more offbeat and less straight pop than you'd know from more familiar Indian soundtracks – still done with the mix of a playback singer and composer, but often set to weird rhythms that bring in some nice touches from the 80s – used in ways that are pretty great and groovy overall! There's less of the full-on dance numbers at some points – and with the use of electronics, we'd almost be tempted to call some of this stuff more arty or new wave-styled Indian film music at times – especially on the two very moogy numbers included. The package is great – with notes on the music, scene, and singers – and titles include "Vikram Vikram", "Passing Out Parade (part 1)", "Love Theme", "Raaja Rajathi", and "Chittu Kuruvi" by Illaiyaraaja; "Cola Cola Coca Cola" by Shankar Ganesh, and "Nallavan Nallavan" by Hamsalekha, © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

I've always been interested in how things work and how I can make things more efficient.
Current Student Spotlight:
Alina Selby '14
Hometown:Finleyville, PA
Major:Mechanical engineering
Future engineer
Member of Emerging Leaders and Alpha Phi Omega (APO) as well as manager of Mount Union's women's basketball team
Liberal arts education
I looked at both big and small schools. But, I knew I wanted a liberal arts education on top of a degree in mechanical engineering because I thought it would set me apart from others after graduation. The other schools I looked at were less personal, but Mount Union wasn't. The faculty care a lot about our interest in the engineering programs and what we're looking to do as future engineers. They care enough that we actually get to sit in on faculty interviews and listen to potential professors teach in the classroom.
More than just a number
In general, Mount Union cares more about you. At bigger universities, you're just a number or an application. Mount Union truly wants to get to know you and wants you to personally better yourself so that one day you can graduate and make a difference in the world. It's a nice place to go to school. I'm enjoying my time at Mount Union, and looking forward to getting involved and spending my next three years here.
It's a family thing
I've always been interested in how things work and how I can make things more efficient. Mechanical engineering is one of the fields of engineering that is broad enough that it offers a vast amount of job opportunities. I come from a family of engineers including my grandpa, aunts and uncles. My sister is in high school now and she wants to be an engineer too. So, I guess I would say it's a family thing! It's actually quite fun when we all get together.
A brand new facility
I spend most of my time in the new Engineering and Business Building. There's a 24-hour computer lab specifically for engineering students and a student lounge on the second floor. We have exclusive access to the computer lab because it's the only lab on campus with specific computer programs for engineers. It's a brand new facility, and really nice.
In my engineering course last semester we toured the Alliance Water Treatment Plant. On this trip, we were able to learn more about the system, process and how it relates to engineering.
Women in engineering
My favorite teachers are Dr. Donna Michalek (chair of the Department of Engineering) and Dr. Helen Muga (assistant professor of engineering). They're both female engineers and through their job experiences they've accomplished so much. And, they have a lot of opinions and input to share from their own personal stories. It's nice to hear about women succeeding in engineering because such a large percentage of engineers are males.

Pie Oh My! Opens Today
Baked-from-scratch pies will be available in tart-sized portions. Full size pies can be ordered ahead of time.
Fresh baked pies from Jane Callahan, owner of Pie Oh My! have been available in St. Louis at Local Harvest, Baumann's, Kaldi's and Spencer's Grill in Kirkwood.
Beginning today Callahan will also sell from her own location, at 2719 Sutton Boulevard in Maplewood. She'll open her doors at 11 a.m.
All her pies are made from fresh, seasonal ingredients, such as the box of peaches sitting in her kitchen on Tuesday.
Callahan said she's currently baking coconut cream, banana cream, pear-blueberry and peach-blueberry. She said she's had a good reaction from an espresso-pecan-chocolate, so she'll be trying that one.
As she's been getting ready neighbors have peeked in to say hi, and some have had suggestions.
"The guys upstairs (The Core Group) are excited about a pecan-bourbon-chocolate, so I'm going to try that," she said.
When a customer walks in the front door, "hopefully they'll see mouthwatering pies they'll want to gobble up," Callahan said.
She'll have small, cupcake-size pies and some, slightly larger, available, along with Kaldi's coffee, tea, soda and bottled water.
Callahan hopes customers who want a full size pie will call, email or order it online and she'll have it ready for pickup. She said she'll also have frozen, ready-to-bake pies if someone absolutely needs an apple pie "right now."
Pie Oh My!'s hours are 11 a.m to 6 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. If you need a slice and it's after 6:00, she's talking with Tiffany's Diner and The Wood about carrying her pies.

Once again it is time for a Phil Factor Speed Phreak Challenge and the prize is now a $100 Amazon voucher, and the privilege of displaying this rather nice trophy jpg on your blog / website / bedroom wall. This time your task is simply to produce a summary report of the cost of international phone calls made within an organization on a week by week basis for both Users and Offices. You are allowed to use any method you see fit, you may also add any indexes, table-functions or views that you wish (though not an index view). Creation of these will not count to the overall execution time. If you are unsure if what you want to do might disqualify you, then please post a comment. The table CallLog contains the log of every phone call, including which user called which number, when the call started and ended, and the office the user was in at the time. You will notice that it is not well normalized, since it is actually a view taken from several tables. Users are never in a fixed office, and can move from office to office at any point. Calls with a CallEnd equal to CallStart were not answered and can be safely ignored. To calculate the cost of the call you need to use a lookup within the PhoneTariff table. The calls are prefixed by an area code corresponding to a country. You must note that many of the call areas have the same starting character sequence , so calls made to numbers starting '35191' must be priced using the tariff of '35191' not '351'. There is a rather elaborate charging system according to the length of the call. This means that you need to calculate the cost of the call as the minute by minute cost changes with the length of the call. These must be summed. Looking at the PhoneTariffCharges table
The first 8 minutes of the call will be 0.4792 per minute. 9 to 31 minutes will be 0.18 per minute 32 to 59 minutes will be 0.5702 per minute etc.... All ranges have a UpToXMinutes of 9999 so you dont need to worry about an upper limit. The calllength is rounded upto the nearest whole minute. Here is the DDL to create the tables
and heres the link to the data. Use
to load the data in. Heres the solution provided by our mediocre developer Robert Bar, please note a fix for an issue with the week number being taken from @CallEnd.
Here are some guidelines for your entries: 1) Include a header in your suggestion. Make sure your name and the current date is present. 2) Include an edition number. First edition is 1. If you later improve your current suggestion post it again as version 2. Example: "Peso 1" and if improved, "Peso 1b", "Peso 1c" etc. 3) If you are trying a new algorithm, change the edition to "Peso 2". If you improve this algorithm, change the version to "Peso 2b", "Peso 2c" etc. This will save Phil hours of work in the test harness! 4) The solution must clear up all its mess (temporary tables, indexes, etc.) so it can be re-run without errors. As ever Phil Factor will be final judge. The closing date will be midnight Thursday 17th December London Can we be specific about how timings will be done? Average of x runs with a dropcleanbuffers before each? Average of x runs with a dropcleanbuffers before the first run?
Dec 02 '09 at 03:41 PM
Matt Whitfield ♦♦
What about Abel Buck? His call was 0.000 seconds and thus no charge for length of call, but is he still going to pay for the connection of 52 cents?
Dec 03 '09 at 09:57 AM
I am tryting to find a 100% correct answer but sometimes i doubt if the answer privided by Robert Bar is 100% Correct. Should we take his answer as the final results or should we try to prove that there could be something wrong with it and propose something new ?
Dec 03 '09 at 10:33 AM
With regard to Abel Buck the call was not answered and therefore no charge. "Calls with a CallEnd equal to CallStart were not answered and can be safely ignored." The Robert Bar solution should be correct. If there are any issues with a calculation please PM me and ill manually double check.
Dec 03 '09 at 03:13 PM
dave ballantyne
I took a random case, number dialled: 980913853342, according to Robert Bar he used area code 980 and number 91-385-3342 (formated 2,3,4) ["order by len(CallArea) desc"], but you could also get area code 98 and number dialled 091-385-3342 ( formated 3-3-4 ). My point is that phone numbers of 12 digits ( this case ) should have just 2 chars on area code, those with 13 digits, have 3 chars as area code and so on, so the remaning number will still be formated 3-3-4 and not [1..3]-3-4. Meaning that the proposed solution could not be the corret one...

Ok, here's my first go (now revised to align with question change - week from startdate): Setup:
This runs in between 10 and 15 seconds on my box, as compared to 35 minutes 25 secs for the Robert Bar (bless him) solution. If stored procs aren't allowed, let me know and I'll change it to bare definition, it doesn't make a massive difference to the timings anyway... Good Stuff. Results are spot on, just change the ALTER PROC to CREATE PROC. By my calculations , youre in front :)
Dec 04 '09 at 11:54 AM
dave ballantyne
Whoops - sorry about that! One thing that confused me - why is the year number taken from the start date and the week number taken from the end date? Only produces differences on a few rows, but quite interesting! :) Also, let me know if you'd like a copy of the test harness I sent to Phil & Peso, should support everything needed for this challenge...
Dec 04 '09 at 12:38 PM
Matt Whitfield ♦♦
That'll be a typo. Ill change it in the question now. Phil has already taken the liberty of forwarding on the harness, thanks.
Dec 04 '09 at 12:53 PM
dave ballantyne
I get wrong result for Jose Yu. Me and Phil get two records (week 8 and 9). You get both timings on week 9 (1.654 + 1.7612).
Dec 05 '09 at 07:39 PM
Yeah - if you have a look at the comments above, Dave has changed it so that the week number now comes from the start date and not the end date, like it was originally. I haven't had time to update it yet because I'm not at home...

Here's my second try. (lmu92 1b 20091216) Based on my previous version with the following changes: a) I don't create the result tables anymore, just printing the result sets with the SELECT statement (seems common practice throughout the solutions provided so far) b) replaced a UNION with a faster solution c) Added NOLOCK hints d) Building the intermediate table one step later, saving one update prepare base tables (create index)
code block
cleanup index
On my machine the code runs in the range of Pesos version 4a. It's still not as fast as Matts CLR though (at least on my machine)... Wow! 3.156 seconds on my machine. this is very impressive
Dec 16 '09 at 06:55 PM
Phil Factor
I don't get it. The code takes 11 seconds on my machine...
Dec 16 '09 at 07:51 PM
I suspect that quite a bit of the variation is the size of the buffer cache on the various machines.

Initial Timings are pretty close ,
Just for comparison - timings from Matt W's machine:
Note that matt1 and lmu921 didn't run because I changed the collation in my test db and they both failed with collation conflicts. I didn't feel the need to alter my SQL entry! :) Nice formatting! However, I miss thousands separator and right aligned number... :-)
Dec 07 '09 at 02:02 PM
My timings agree with this pretty closely. My routine is now in the mid five-seconds, but I need to double-check the results before I post the SQL! Yeah. cute formatting, Dave.
Dec 07 '09 at 04:19 PM
Phil Factor
I'll add thousand separators and right alignment to the harness...

Cant take any credit for the formatting :)

There was an issue with my scripts which meant that lmu92's indexes were not created.

/Phil Factor 1d Now running about 5.4 secs on my machine.
Nice! Two things though... 1) Add "WHERE CallStart < CallEnd" to #TempCallLog to make the table smaller and 2) Add a sixth update clause to handle CHAR(6) definition.
Dec 11 '09 at 04:15 PM
Doing 1) you can remove the "UPDATE ... > 0" clause
Dec 11 '09 at 04:18 PM
Phil, how long time does the other suggestions take on your machine?
Dec 11 '09 at 04:19 PM
For comparison, on my laptop this takes 11 seconds.
Dec 11 '09 at 04:37 PM
How odd. I just checked it again. five and a half seconds. I had tried putting in more indexes (even followed SSMS's suggestions) and everything I did added another second to the results. Can you see what is slowing it down? Why do I need to add a sixth update clause to handle CHAR(6) definition when there aren't any six-character codes in the phoneTariff table?

Peso 4B - 20091216 Main Code
Definitely faster, 3.941 seconds on my box - but only returns 53,703 rows in the second result set?
Dec 16 '09 at 10:53 AM
Matt Whitfield ♦♦
...can I ask, too... how long did developing this one take? Just interested from a general cost/benefit perspective...
Dec 16 '09 at 10:54 AM
Matt Whitfield ♦♦
Forgot a CROSS APPLY. This one took about 30 minutes to develop and another 15 minutes looking at the execution plan. However, I did miss a cross apply so debugging the code above took another hour. 2 hour total.
Dec 16 '09 at 12:10 PM
Cool, correct results now, 5.317 seconds... It would have taken me a lot longer to develop the SQL the way you have I think. Probably more in the region of 5-6 hours...
Dec 16 '09 at 12:31 PM
Matt Whitfield ♦♦
This runs in 3 secs on my machine. Mine runs in 5.4.

Ivan Rodriguez, who won an MVP award, 13 Gold Gloves and made 14 All-Star teams, will announce his retirement on Monday, according to a report.
Ivan Rodriguez, 14-time All-Star, 13-time Gold Glove winner and former American League MVP, will officially retire on Monday, according to a report from Jeff Wilson of the Star-Telegram:
Sources confirmed Rodriguez's plan, which was hatched after no decent playing opportunities arose in the off-season. Four teams showed interest in Rodriguez, who had hoped to get a minor-league deal to Rangers camp with an invitation to big-league camp.
Rodriguez played 21 seasons, breaking into the majors when he was just 19 years old with the Texas Rangers. He'll retire in Arlington, where he played 13 seasons and hit .304 with a .341 on-base percentage and 217 home runs in over 5700 at-bats. Did we mention the 13 freaking Gold Gloves? Ten of them were with the Rangers.
Rodriguez also starred for the Florida Marlins and Detroit Tigers, winning a World Series with the former in 2003, and taking the latter to the World Series in 2006. He also played for the Yankees, Astros, and Nationals toward the end of his career. He is almost certainly a future Hall of Famer, though I've given up guessing about that sort of stuff.

Fly to Rio de Janeiro
Bem-Vindos! Welcome to Rio.
Please ensure you arrive in time for the important welcome meeting at 1pm. Your leader will leave a note at reception telling you where this important meeting will take place. Please ask a member of reception for this information. If you have any special dietary requirement, such as vegetarian, please let your leader know at this meeting so they can better prepare for our Pantanal stay.
Your leader will take you on a walking tour of Copacabana and its surrounding area.
The adventure begins in the Cidade Maravilhosa (Marvellous City). The locals like to say that "God made the world in six days, the seventh he devoted to Rio". In this heaving metropolis, set against the luminescent green of Guanabara Bay and surrounded by the slopes of Sugar Loaf Mountain and Corcovado, it's hard not to be caught up in the Carioca's (residents) passion.
The French were the first to settle here as they logged wood along the Brazilian coast, but they were soon driven out by the Portuguese who built a fortified town and named it Sao Sebastiao do Rio de Janeiro. They then quickly amassed wealth in the gold rush of Minas Gerais. In the 19th century, the Portuguese monarchy fled from the threat of Napoleon in Europe to Rio where they built grand buildings, still in existence today.
These days Rio is known best for its contrasting images of favelas (shanty towns) and the glitz and glamour of Carnaval. The northern zone in the steep hillsides is where most of the favelas are while the southern zone is for the middle classes and the rich. To get oriented, or to just look on in awe, head to the top of Sugar Loaf by cable car for some incredible views. Another view not to be missed is from the feet of Christ the Redeemer, standing atop Corcovado with arms open wide.
For some seriously eye-popping people watching, head down to the white sand beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. Or if the bustle of Rio gets too much, visit the exotic botanical garden of Jardim Botanico to stroll around in peace - the row of palms and water lilies are highlights.
Brazil is a great country in which to chat and interact with the locals. It is recommended that you try to learn some basic Portuguese as the Brazilians love you to try out their own language.
In Rio we stay in a 2-star hotel a couple of blocks from Ipanema. Hotel - 1 night
Iguaçu Falls
Today you catch a flight to Foz do Iguacu. In the afternoon you will visit the Brazilian side and the next day you will visit the Argentinian side of the falls.
The Brazilian side offers grand panoramas while the Argentinean side is equipped with boardwalks that get up close to the thundering waters - so close you can almost touch them. For a more adrenaline pumping falls experience see them from below on a zodiac boat or take a helicopter ride, right over the top.
Legend has it that a serpent god aspired to marry a beautiful girl called Naipi. She escaped in a canoe with her mortal lover Caroba and in a jealous rage the god chased them, collapsing the river before them so that Naipi plunged over the falls to become a rock, while Caroba became a tree, forever unable to touch his love. A more scientific explanation is that the Rio Iguacu flows over a riverbed of basalt that ends where the lava cooled, leaving the water to fall. The falls were 'discovered' in the modern day by the Spaniard Juan Alvar Nunez, who named them Saltos de Santa Maria. The name we know them by today means 'Great Waters' in the Tupi-Guarani tongue.
At over 2 km long the falls are a series of cataracts. There are 275 falls in all and with some reaching up to 80 m in height, they are wider than Victoria Falls and higher than Niagara. For two different perspectives of the falls, we see them from the Argentinean and Brazilian sides.
Accommodation in Iguacu is in a 2-star hotel in downtown Foz do Iguacu. Rooms have air-conditioning. Hotel - 1 night
Iguaçu Falls; Campo Grande
This morning you will visit the Argentine side, which is noted for its close-up views of the falls. You're almost bound to get wet as the trails here lead right into the spray of the crashing waters. Perhaps the most spectacular point is the Garganta del Diablo (Devil's Throat) with its awe-inspiring view of roaring falls, rainbow arcs, and parrots and hawks swooping against a backdrop of verdant rainforest.
In the afternoon take an overnight bus to Campo Grande, before transferring to your accommodation in the Pantanal. Pousada - 3 nights (BLD)
The Pantanal is the world's largest wetland area and one of the best wildlife spotting places on the continent. Sixty-five million years ago, the Pantanal was an inland sea that gradually dried out. These days the vast alluvial plain is seasonally flooded by the Paraguay River, giving a home to a wonderfully diverse wildlife. Jabirus and macaws are frequently spotted and with any luck we will see howler monkeys, giant otters, anteaters, macaws and caiman (although hopefully not too close).
Unfortunately, the area's fantastic wildlife has brought some unwanted attention. Although a portion of the wetlands have been designated as a national park, poachers still kill up to two million animals here annually.
We have two whole days here to explore. Wake to see the sunrise- they are amazing in the Pantanal - and enjoy a full day of activities. Itineraries vary depending weather conditiosn, but you will have the opportunity to go on nature walks to spot some of the amazing wildlife go fishing, swimming, canoeing or just relaxing.
The itinerary of activities at the Pantanal can vary depending on the weather, guides, other groups, etc but generally includes long walks, horseback riding and canoeing.
Note about the Pantanal: It can be very hot here, and it can also get quite cool. From November to March there are lots of mosquitoes! There is no malaria in the Pantanal, and only minimal risk of Dengue fever and Yellow fever. The food is basic, but quite tasty and we can accommodate for vegetarians and other dietary requirements. Make sure you tell your leader at the start of the trip.
Accommodation is basic. You will be sleeping in hammocks with mosquito netting within a mosquito net enclosed structure with a rain-proof palm frond roof and brick walls waist high. It will keep the rain and the bugs out. Blankets are provide as necessary, but from June to September it can get quite cold so a sleeping bag is recommended. Electricity is limited, and there is no hot water. Don't forget to bring a towel, a torch, sun cream and mosquito repellent! There is also an enclosed common area with protection from the elements and the mosquitoes where the food is prepared and there is room to dine and relax.
Rio de Janeiro
Today you travel by bus to Campo Grande (3 hrs approx.) from where you fly back to Rio for a final night of dancing. Rio is deservedly famous for its live music scene, which encompasses myriad styles such as samba, jazz, bossa nova, hip hop, regae, rock and many other fusions of regional styles. Head to the neighbourhood of Lapa to find great dance halls where you can join locals in doing some serious dancing - or just soak up the vibe. Hotel - 1 night
Rio de Janeiro; trip ends
The trip ends in Rio.

Article: How We Climbed Everest
In May 1963 a National Geographic Society-sponsored expedition put American climbers on top of Mount Everest for the first time.
In Their Words
Everest is a harsh and hostile immensity. Whoever challenges it declares war. He must mount his assault with the skill and ruthlessness of a military operation. And when the battle ends, the mountain remains unvanquished. There are no true victors, only survivors.

I preferred a warmer quilt but didn't expect one so have a blanket under, but the pale yellow walls in my bedroom with gray and black accessories look very very good with this quilt set to bring out some spark! The hallway leading into my bedroom and master bath are both light gray so walking into my bedroom is very eye pleasing.
Great quality bedding at a great price. Would order from overstock again. It was easy and my order arrived on time. My daughter loves her new quilt and we will be buying more items from overstock to decorate her room.
Very nice quilt. Soft and I love it. Thanks Overstock for such nice items.
Nice quilt set the material is soft feels good. I got it for my grandaughter and she loves it looks real nice in her room
It's perfect. Nice, lightweight, simple enough. She's made her bed every day since we put it on.
Redid my small bedroom around this bedspread. It looks sooo cute. Couldn't be happier.
Love this set!!! It is so beautiful and stylish. I love the contrast of the yellow with the gray and white. My bedroom has a modern flair now.
This by far exceeded my expectation! It's super soft and very very pretty the design is on the whole blanket not just on the corner, the sham is pretty too just wish it came with 2! I really wanted the full/queen set but they had none to order, but I will say for a twin xl it's pretty big so I'm happy!
I ordered the comforter not sure if it would look like the picture. I am very pleased with the purchase. If you get this comforter you will not be disappointed.
Great buy love the quality and color is as shown in picture I would buy another again

Engineering quality patient care
While her heart is most definitely in the world of patient care, Dr. Jacqueline Gerhart serves as a superb example of the flexibility and potential of a biomedical engineering degree from the College of Engineering.
Like many biomedical engineers, Gerhart has been captivated by medical gadgetry since her first day on the College of Engineering campus in 2000. But just being familiar with the hardware and software of the medical world wasn't enough for her. "I realized that being in research and development of medical instruments was fascinating, but it didn't allow me to see how the patient used the end product," Gerhart says. "Seeing how medical devices are used in a hospital and seeing how patients benefit from them became my passion."

Priceline.com does not allow site visitors to post unsolicited hotel reviews.May 21, 2013
Good no frills room if you just need a place to stay.

Brogan had the opportunity to continue his advocacy for education when he was elected Lieutenant Governor in 1998 and re-elected in 2002. A year later, Brogan was selected to be president of Florida Atlantic University — a position he held until 2009, when the Board of Governors of the State University System unanimously chose him to serve as Chancellor of Florida's public universities.
A native of Ohio, Brogan became the first member of his family to attend college, earning a bachelor's degree in education (magna cum laude) from the University of Cincinnati and a master's degree in education from Florida Atlantic University.
