text: SNUG brings women a new outlook on the old camisole that wouldn't cover their belly or was just too long and annoying. With SNUG Camisoles women get a seamless, comfortable camisole that stretches to fit them in whatever style or time in life. A size 0 to 22 can wear the same camisole. The soft nylon/spandex combination contours to each shape smoothing any bumps and bulges. With a super stretch and with elastic hitting at the hips, there are no roll-ups or bunching. Moms-to-be are huge fans of the camisoles as SNUG grows along with them and then contracts back to normal shape when they have the baby and even when nursing. Active women love the camisoles because they have moisture-wicking fabric to keep them cool and dry all day. SNUG also offers bralettes and strap tank tops. One of the best things about SNUG products is they are offered in a variety of colors. SNUG designers know women have different styles and different color preferences. SNUG will give you a slimmer, smoother silhouette in a camisole women can wear year-round at any stage of their life.

As you say, it is a mismatch between locale support and actual settings. There are only a few solutions: either you compile the program (perl, whatever) with support for your locale, or you set the locale (in ~/.profile or /etc/bashrc), or you do not specify the location when installing the system letting it default to the C locale).

Detroit Nurse Practitioner Programs and NP Degrees
The best nurse practitioner programs are designed to help nurses develop their clinical skills and learn to apply science to a diverse number of nurse practitioner (NP) roles. The goal of an NP is to serve each patient holistically.
NPs are educated in one or more patient population or niche areas: family/individual, pediatric (acute or primary), adult-geriatric (acute or primary), neonatal, women's health, or psychiatric/mental health. Students who are looking to pursue entry into a nurse practitioner graduate school are therefore likely find diverse curricula that meld theory with its direct uses to patient-focused care.
Basics of Nurse Practitioner Programs
Nurse Practitioner graduate school programs include the master's of science in nursing (MSN) and doctor of nursing practice (DNP) programs, as well as post-master's NP certificates. At the various NP degree levels, it is just as important to understand what certification and licensure each path might prepare you for. It is also relevant to think about which aspect of nursing practice you want to pursue. From there, it might be easier to search for nurse practitioner schools as you could then size up their NP program against your career goals.
NP Certificates
Nurse practitioner certificates are typically designed to help nurses who have earned their MSN work to refine skills and move into a new nursing specialty. For instance, an MSN to FNP certificate could prepare nurses for advanced practice with individuals and families through their lifespan. Graduates might be eligible to sit for the ANCC certification exam. In some schools, an NP certificate might entail about 32 credits, which a full-time student is usually able to complete in just over one year.
Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) Programs
Most Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) programs include core courses in the areas of health policy, pathophysiology, health assessment, and pharmacology. Entry points vary although BSN to NP programs are intended for bachelor of science in nursing graduates who also have a valid RN license. A graduate school for nurse practitioners offers many MSN programs and have different tracks and concentrations (e.g. Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner). Some programs entail about 20 credits of core courses, plus about 36 credits in a nursing specialty. Students are also required to complete a minimum number of supervised clinical practicum courses that pertain to their chosen field of study.
For those who do not have a BSN, paths such as the ADN to MSN-FNP or direct entry nursing programs might bypass the bachelor's. Or students might first study to earn their BSN, then, after successful completion, roll over into the MSN. Since terminology varies somewhat, you could also find RN to NP programs that are designed to help licensed registered nurses who do not have a bachelor degree work towards an MSN and pursue certification for Family Nurse Practitioner.
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Programs
As the highest level of degree a nurse practitioner could earn, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs usually include advanced courses in leadership and population health, and then typically culminate in a final capstone project called a DNP project. Some students might pursue a second specialty, while others might continue in the same direction as their MSN.
DNP programs could be entered in one of several ways: (1) BSN to DNP programs, (2) MSN to DNP programs, and (3) APRN to DNP programs. Thus, the length of time and required number of courses could vary somewhere between one to three years, if one were to study full-time.

Nurse Practitioner Programs: Admissions Requirements
Admission requirements for nurse practitioner programs are largely tied into what level of education you start out with and which program you enter. For instance, some programs may require students to have completed classes in areas such as statistics, research methods, microbiology, psychology, anatomy and physiology. Then of course, applicants must meet individual NP school requirements such as satisfying a minimum GPA or completing an interview.
Also, most nursing graduate schools will want to see that students have earned any prior degree through a regionally or nationally accredited university and that any previous degree in nursing was earned through a professionally accredited school of nursing. These agencies include the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).
Other academic and admission requirements might draw from the list below, but it is always wise to refer to individual NP schools and specific programs. You can even find nurse practitioner programs that don't require a GRE.
Possible Nurse Practitioner Degree Program Requirements:
- Active RN license and/or active APRN license
- A personal statement of goals
- Resume and or work experience
- Letters of reference (e.g. from a supervisor, colleague or faculty)
- GRE scores

What Is a Nurse Practitioner (NP)?
Nurse practitioners (NPs) are advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) with graduate degree(s) and the education that enables them to perform tasks that RNs are not licensed to do. For instance NPs manage patient care and may provide primary and specialty healthcare. The scope of their practice varies from state to state. NPs hold a minimum of a master of science in nursing and usually focus their studies on care for a certain group (or groups).

List of Top Nurse Practitioner Program Specialties
NP Specialty
Program Description
Family Nurse Practitioner Programs
These programs tend to focus on primary care. As such, they might cover the general medical and health needs of children and adults at all ages.
Acute Care Masters in Nurse Practitioner Programs
Often when you see the term "acute care" in a program name, it's modifying another topic. For example, one might study "pediatric acute care." These types of programs focus on specific, short-term patient care, such as in a hospital or emergency clinic.
Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Programs
Pediatric nurse practitioner programs focus on the health and development of children through age eighteen, or sometimes twenty one.
Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner Programs
Adult medicine programs might come in two different flavors. Some focus on general medical needs of adults in a broad sense. Others center on adult health as related to the aging process. Courses might look at a variety of health conditions unique to aging adults, end-of-life care, and more, across a variety of care settings.
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Programs
Programs like this focus on how to help patients in psychiatric care settings. This could be either residential or outpatient. It might also cover a range of unique psychological and behavioral conditions.
Women's Health Nurse Practitioner Programs
This concentration is unique in that it focuses on a single gender. This could include reproductive health, prenatal and postpartum care, primary care, and more. Other programs might also be available that focus on men's health or all genders.
Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Programs
These programs focus on infant health, in primary or acute care settings. This could include ages ranging from premature up to two or three, and may cross over in some ways with pediatrics and family care.
Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Programs
This is often combined with another category. Primary care programs center on long-term, day-to-day healthcare services for regular patients.
*Nurse practitioner graduate programs often entail specific courses and in-field practice aimed to build competency for one of the above majors
NP vs APRN
An NP is a type of Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). An Advanced Practice Registered Nurse is a nurse who has obtained at least a Master's Degree in Nursing. Further focus within in the APRN category includes Nurse Practitioners, as well as Certified Nurse Midwives, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, and Clinical Nurse Specialists.
NP vs DNP: Is DNP the Same as Nurse Practitioner?i
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is the terminal degree for nurse practitioners. Nurse practitioners have traditionally used the masters degree to pursue advanced education and a career in their specialty field. However, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) recommended back in 2004 that the new standard for entry become the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) by 2015. They stated that "The DNP provides a clinical option for advanced preparation in nursing practice that is more comparable to other intra-professional education."
If you are interested in taking your nursing career to the next level by earning an advanced degree, you might want to carefully consider your options. Which academic path is right for you? Explore the differences between a Nurse Practitioner Program and a DNP Program.
What Does a Nurse Practitioner Do?
When looking for a nurse practitioner graduate school, it is important to know Nurses are not doctors. However, NPs could help lessen the effects of a national physician shortage. Many NPs are primary and specialty care providers who might work on their own, prescribe medications, order lab tests and consult with other health care professionals. NPs also provide immunizations, diagnose health problems, and treat ailments. They are able to refer patients to other healthcare providers, and often promote health and wellness.
That said, the role of the nurse practitioner could depend on things like the type of medical setting and state regulations, so make a mental note to check what these are in your location.
"Although a master's degree is the most common form of entry-level education, many APRNs choose to earn a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) or a Ph.D." i
What Is a Family Nurse Practitioner?
Family nurse practitioners (FNPs) provide holistic care to individuals and their families through the course of their lifespan. As APRNs, some pursue a second specialty through a post-masters certificate or Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program. For instance, a FNP might want to pursue licensure in adult-gerontology acute care.
What Is a Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner?
Certified registered nurse practitioners have successfully taken and passed exams in their field. Because nurse practitioners practice in a wide variety of disciplines there are several professional organizations that offer certifications. Two widely recognized certifications are the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Program (AANPCP) and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).
Once certified, a candidate could use the NP-C (nurse practitioner-certified) credential until they re-certify.
What Are Nurse Practitioner Requirements?
Nurse practitioner degree requirements vary by program level, program focus and nurse practitioner school. Accredited nurse practitioner programs base their curricula on the 'competencies' for each nurse practitioner role set by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN). An entry-level nurse practitioner is also expected to meet NP core competencies in three targeted areas: (1) Advanced Physiology, (2) Advanced Health Assessment, (3) Advanced Pharmacology.
In many nurse practitioner programs, coursework can be broken down into 3 subsections:
- Foundation courses such as the ones listed above, health care policy, ethics, informatics, and nursing theory
- Research courses such as biostatistics and scholarly inquiry
- Clinical courses such as leadership in a clinical setting, primary care of individuals, clinical decision making, and family theory of health and illness
Whether you pursue an online NP degree or attend a campus program, it is important to note that you still are likely to be required to complete clinical hours as part of the program. These hours must be completed in person at a healthcare service location, approved by your graduate school of nursing.
How Can You Become a Nurse Practitioner?
Often, a nurse practitioner begins as a registered nurse (RN) and then moves on to enrolling in a nurse practitioner degree program which entails a masters and/or doctoral degree. While there are some variations, the two primary academic pathways to become a nurse practitioner are the(1) Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and (2) Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and then earning a national certification.
At a glance, four of the basic steps towards becoming a nurse practitioner are as follows.
- Pursue an undergraduate degree in nursing
- Become an RN
- Pursue a graduate degree in nursing
- Become an APRN
4 Steps to Becoming a Nurse Practitioner
1. Pursue an Undergraduate Degree in Nursing
Length: About 4 years.
After high school, study to earn an undergraduate nursing degree. At this level, students could work towards an Associates degree in nursing (ADN) or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Many ADN nurses go on to earn a BSN before they enroll in an MSN program, but RN to MSN programs are also available and these allow ADNs to earn a BSN and MSN in one accelerated trajectory.
2 - Become an RN and Gain Some Experience
Length: About one to two years
Take and successfully pass the NCLEX-RN to become a registered nurse (RN).
3 - Pursue a Graduate Degree in Nursing
Length: About one to four years
The minimum required education for a nurse practitioner is the MSN. As stated previously, there is a movement to replace it with the DNP in the future.
4 - Earn an Advanced Practice Nursing License
|Work to achieve certification in a specific patient practice area. In addition to local licensure, NPs achieve national certification through an established agency such as the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Since licensure is state-determined, you might contact your state board of nursing for more information. Since outside agencies (from your hosen university) control the requirements for taking and passing certification/licensing exams, these details are subject to change.
How Long Does It Take to Become a Nurse Practitioner?
The length of time it takes to become a nurse practitioner depends on several things. For one, what level of education do you have? Do you have a BSN or MSN? Have you completed some clinical practicum hours? Will you study on a part-time or full-time basis? The 'shorter programs' might be the MSN/APRN to DNP simply because of where that nurse is in the journey. Shorter programs could range from one to three years. At each NP degree level, a school will often have several tracks, so you could see which one is appropriate for you, and from there, determine how long your program could take.
Why Pursue NP Education?
As states start to change laws that govern APRN practice authority, APRNs could perform more services, and thus continue to be in demand. Per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment projections for NPs show a 31 percent growth predicted to the year 2026.
Online Nurse Practitioner Programs
Need some schedule flexibility? If you cannot make it to campus, online nurse practitioner programs could bring your courses to you. Some schools might engage you with completely web-based coursework, while others might entail brief periods of residency. Hybrid NP programs include some of both the in-person and on-campus courses, with either synchronous or asynchronous course delivery.

The reason that the Angry Hamsters don't have room for the supercharged Studebaker Lark at their shop is a really good one: there's a Hayabusa-powered Mazda Miata in the works!
We're seeing the captains of two motorcycle-engined-car LeMons teams and Eyesore Racing Ghettocharged Miata Starship madman Dave Coleman involved in this project, and the end result should be spec-freakin'-tacular. Unlike most Hayabusa-into-car swaps, this one ditches the fragile motorcycle transmission and substitutes some pretty slick custom-machined hardware that allows the use of a Miata transmission. In addition, they're making a special header, front subframe (yes, they've got a jig that will allow the construction of more Miatabusa subframes), wiring harness, and so on. Check out Dave's writeup on MotoIQ for all the super-geeked-out details!

Lee Ann Womack will release a long-awaited new album on Sugar Hill Records in September. The first single from the album is expected this summer.
"When I was looking for the right home for this record, I knew I wanted a label where passion for music and artistic integrity drive the decision-making, the people who bring the music to the fans," Womack says. "Beyond the incredible work Sugar Hill has done with Nickel Creek, Sarah Jarosz and Bryan Sutton, they have a broader way of looking at where music can go and why it matters — and for this very personal record, it seemed like the perfect fit."
Womack partnered with her husband, producer-publisher Frank Liddell, to record the album. Liddell has produced albums for Miranda Lambert, David Nail and many more.
Womack's previous album, Call Me Crazy, was released in 2008. After its release, she parted ways with her longtime label, MCA Nashville. Along with "I Hope You Dance," her hits include "The Fool," "A Little Past Little Rock" and "I May Hate Myself in the Morning."
"I have always loved country music with my entire being, and I think the gift of a genre that's built on real life is that there is always room for great songs and the truth," she says. "When we started this record, Frank and I promised each other we would only cut songs that we absolutely loved for no reason other than we loved them very much. No other factors, and I think that freedom really inspired us."

Brenda Smith Cheek is spending her first Valentine's Day alone in years and was considering buying herself some flowers to mark the day. But dozens of strangers stepped in to made sure that wasn't necessary.
MOUNT DORA, Fla. — Brenda Smith Cheek was dreading Valentine's Day because, for the first time in years, she'd be spending it without her sweetheart, David Cheek, who was killed in a car crash just over two months ago.
She knew her husband would have given her a single flower and a handwritten note Wednesday, then they would have gone fishing like they did every Valentine's Day.
Instead, Brenda started her day by visiting the place where David died, then made her way to Waffle House to start her usual shift. It was her 36th anniversary with the restaurant chain.
The reception she received when she arrived was sweet, she said. Her coworkers and her daughters had decorated the dining room for her anniversary.
But it was just the beginning.
As she started her 6 a.m. shift, she noticed people dropping by to give her flowers and gifts. Many of them said, "To Brenda from your sweetheart."
"I wasn't expecting anything like that. It was amazing," Brenda said.
What Brenda didn't know is that a complete stranger she had met the day before at Waffle House had been been so moved by her situation that he took to social media to encourage friends and strangers alike to shower Brenda with flowers.
The stranger's name: David.
David Oliver Willis, a local musician and worship leader for The Cross church in Eustis, posted a Facebook message that read:
"Hey Guys! There is a very special lady that works at Waffle House (Mount Dora location) and has worked for the company for 36 years tomorrow (Valentine's Day). She lost her sweetheart 68 days ago in a fatal accident and mentioned that she might buy herself some flowers "from him" after work. If you will make time, it'd be awesome to buy her a single flower, pick her a flower or a bouquet and drop it off on Valentine's day with a note (that reads) To Brenda From Your Sweetheart.
That's just what people did, too.
"It seemed like she was feeling a little hurt and on Valentine's Day, instead of focusing on that pain, I wanted her to focus on love, even if it was from strangers showing up to express it to her," Willis explained Wednesday. "I thought it would be cool to get a few people to bring her flowers, and it just started to go crazy.
"It's powerful to reach out to someone you don't know in a small way because it makes a big impact."
By mid morning Wednesday, Brenda had received dozens of flowers, chocolates, a teddy bear and other gifts. Most of all, she felt loved.
"I stopped at the accident site this morning, and I just felt so empty," she said. "Then, I came here and it took me two hours to be able to see ... all the tears. I was just overwhelmed," she said.

This Month in HIV: Tips and Tricks for Coping With HIV/AIDS
A Psychologist and Three HIV-Positive People Share Their Wisdom
November/December 2007
Being diagnosed with HIV can be one of the most traumatic experiences in a person's life. Whether you're 15 or 55, the emotions that come with an HIV diagnosis can be overwhelming -- as can be the millions of questions, small and large, that start shooting through your mind. Questions like: How could this have happened to me? How will my life change? Who should I tell? Will anyone still love me? Will I have to take treatment for the rest of my life?
We've brought together an expert on HIV and mental health and three people, all of whom have been living with HIV for more than 10 years. They'll offer concrete tips for coping with HIV, whether you've just been diagnosed or you've been living with it for years.
Our first guest is Dr. Robert Remien, a prominent HIV researcher and clinical psychologist based in New York City. His research focuses on mental health and support for people with HIV, including mixed-status couples and gay men. Welcome, Dr. Remien!
Larry Bryant is a semi-pro football player turned HIV-positive political activist. A 21-year survivor of HIV, Larry is now the national field organizer for the HIV advocacy group Housing Works in Washington, D.C. Welcome, Larry!
Sherri Lewis lives in Los Angeles and speaks out about HIV in her podcast series "Straight Girl in a Queer World," hosted by Here! TV, a gay television network. She's also a performer and writer who was diagnosed with HIV in 1987. Welcome, Sherri!
Michael McColly is a Chicago-based author, writing instructor and yoga teacher. He recently published his memoir, The After-Death Room: Journey into Spiritual Activism. Michael tested positive for HIV in 1996. Welcome, Michael!
Dr. Remien, I know you've facilitated groups for people who have just been diagnosed. What do you think is the biggest issue that someone who has just been diagnosed deals with? What would you say are the most helpful coping tips you can offer them?
Dr. Robert Remien: I think, across the board, for most people, it's initially the emotional shock, the shock of receiving a diagnosis -- that's whether someone suspected that they already have HIV or not. I think, when the news is made concrete and made real, emotionally there's a shock factor that people deal with.
Ironically, for some people -- but I wouldn't want to sensationalize this -- for some people it's a bit of a relief, if they have been really, really worried and been thinking for so long that they're going to get it, or thought that it was only eventual that they would get it. Some people have talked about their being: "Well, OK, now I know what I'm dealing with." It's been made real.
But I think for the majority of people there is an emotional shock, psychologically. Unfortunately, even though there are effective treatments, and we speak about it as being a chronic disease, it still is true that it's a life-threatening illness, and people initially feel a tremendous loss of hope, feeling like it's the end of the world and their life is going to change in so many ways. This is true on one hand, but people need to realize they can have a normal life back.
I think the most important thing, in terms of coping, is I like to really emphasize with people initially that they need to know that dealing with the diagnosis and coming to terms with it will take time. They need to give themselves time to feel a whole range of feelings. Their emotions will fluctuate over time, especially initially, and they need to know that eventually this HIV diagnosis is going to move from the very front of their brain to the back burner. It never goes away, but it becomes less primary. Over time, it gets integrated into their life, and they start to feel a little bit more normal.
But I would emphasize, in the meantime, what people need to do initially is:
"The biggest issue for me when I was diagnosed was: How I was going to die. I was diagnosed in the '80s. Obviously it was a lot different. ... But at the time, along with my HIV diagnosis, I was given a date that I was going to die. I was told I had nine years to live. ... It took a lot of time for me to kind of come to grasp with living beyond today. The best and worst thing that can happen is that you stop and smell the roses, because you start appreciating things."
-- Larry Byrant
The caution I would put out there, and often do with people I counsel, is: There's no need to disclose broadly, and to feel like they have got to run out and do everything to take care of this. It's best to think about what would be most helpful for you in the immediate term. Other things will happen over time. But initially, at least it's helpful to be able to speak to one person. Not everyone's a group person. Not everyone wants to talk to everyone about it. And people have a right to be private about this. But it's best they not isolate themselves, and find someone that is supportive to them.
Great advice. Larry, what are your thoughts? What was the biggest issue for you when you were diagnosed?
Larry Bryant: The biggest issue for me when I was diagnosed was: How I was going to die. I was diagnosed in the '80s. Obviously it was a lot different. The climate was a little bit different than to be diagnosed say, 2007, 2008.
But at the time, along with my HIV diagnosis, I was given a date that I was going to die. I was told I had nine years to live. So as an 18-year-old, all of the life plans, all of the long-term planning that you have, sitting in the back of the classroom, writing out: This is what kind of car I'm going to drive, what kind of house I'm going to live in ...
You know, I was playing football at the time. It was my goal to be in the NFL. I was going to marry Halle Berry. All the things that we think we're going to do, you ball it up and just throw it away.
It took a lot of time for me to kind of come to grasp with living beyond today. The best and worst thing that can happen is that you stop and smell the roses, because you start appreciating things. But you don't necessarily look down the road, because you realize there are roses down there.
Fast forward here: I'm going on 22 years positive, and I'm still in the process of trying to grasp the whole long-term view. So just living each day is a must, but sometimes, when you concentrate too much on the day, you kind of forget that, hey, we're going to be here for a while. It's just, the world has been shaken. You try to remain on your feet. You try to make sure the ground doesn't move anymore. And it's difficult. Like the doctor said, each individual kind of processes and copes in very, very different and distinct ways, if at all, since some of us don't.
Sherri, you were diagnosed during the same time period as Larry. You also felt that it was a death sentence, or were told that it was a death sentence at the time. So what were some of your techniques for dealing with it?
Sherri Lewis: I was told over the telephone. When I heard the news, the first thing that happened is, I literally dropped to my knees. Having just witnessed and buried two of my closest friends to AIDS, I knew what it looked like. The pictures that kept running, flashing in front of my eyes were: I was going to die and that's what I was going to look like and when is this going to happen. Sheer terror just ran a hundred miles an hour, speeding through my mind.
And I prayed. I'm not a religious person, especially at that time. But I was in a recovery program for alcohol and drugs, and part of that program was a spiritual connection and prayer. So, I'm fortunate that I hit my knees and I started to pray that God would get me through this. I didn't feel I was getting punished. I knew that God was going to give me the strength to get through it. That is how I coped with every breath I took. It was one breath at a time. I really was horrified.
"For me, my HIV diagnosis changed everything. I was terrified that I infected my fiancé. I was terrified he'd leave me at the altar. My fiancé was a single parent. I was afraid I might have killed this boy's only parent."
-- Sherri Lewis
I was also three months away from my wedding date, which is why I asked to be tested. I was in my early 30s and I wanted to get pregnant. I did what we tell so many women of childbearing years to do today: Get tested so you can spare the life of your child from having HIV. And we didn't even have information about women back then. I just knew I didn't want to have an AIDS baby if, by chance, I was positive. I didn't think I was positive, because I had no symptoms.
For me, my HIV diagnosis changed everything. I was terrified that I infected my fiancé. I was terrified he'd leave me at the altar. My fiancé was a single parent. I was afraid I might have killed this boy's only parent.
So how did you cope?
Sherri Lewis: I had a support system in a 12-step fellowship. I went directly to a meeting. So I was lucky. There was a support system in place. I went there and I took direction from what we call in the programs, in the rooms of recovery, a sponsor. She said, "You need to go to a meeting. You need to talk about it and then talk about the solution, how you're not going to pick up a drink or a drug today."
So, that's exactly what I did. I just marched forward. You can imagine; there was a gasp in the air when I said I just tested positive. I was in Boston, Massachusetts. This wasn't something you would say anywhere, let alone there. And you could hear a pin drop, literally. After the meeting, people just hugged me and said, "You're going to be OK." And no doctor could tell me I was going to be OK. But those hands that hugged me, that loved me, that didn't treat me like I was a leper or that any idea I had, like wheat grass or acupuncture, was weird. They all said, "That sounds good."
That's how I coped. I went to meetings, meetings, meetings. I found a phenomenal therapist, who was specializing in people with life-threatening illnesses. Her waiting room was filled with young men with oxygen tanks on their backs. You know, portable oxygen tanks. I was the only woman in the waiting room. They were, obviously, in much worse shape than I was. So the thing that I did after I was diagnosed was kind of a tool: Fake it till you make it. I was going to survive this. I was pissed, and I think that worked for me. How dare this happen to me at this time in my life? How dare this? This is not for me. I'm not signing up for this. I just had the audacity -- it's like [Barack] Obama says: the audacity of hope -- I had that. I felt like this diagnosis is not acceptable, and I will go to any lengths to overcome it. And I did. I mean, from diet to prayer to lifestyle. And helping others, so I didn't think about me 24/7, because I was too afraid to think about me and my future.
"I think the thing that I want to emphasize is that there is a lot of energy that happens when you find out you're HIV positive. ... The body does respond -- emotionally, psychologically and physiologically. I think it's good to use that energy to start changing, as Sherri mentioned, and start doing things that you know you need to do. It was a jolt for me to move on with my life. I went after things that I suppose I was sort of dragging my feet on."
-- Michael McColly
How often did you go to support groups?
Sherri Lewis: Every day. Sometimes twice a day.
How long did you continue doing that?
Sherri Lewis: Well, I still do it. It's 22-plus years later.
Not as often, but I have a program of prayer, service and meetings.
Michael, last but not least: Can you share with us, when you were first diagnosed, some of the ways you coped?
Michael McColly: In listening to everyone, I'm both reminding myself of all the things that people told me, and all the emotions that are still kind of bubbling up now. As Dr. Remien mentioned, there are a variety of feelings that you have. I think now, in retrospect, I remember being very nervous about having the right emotions. I think you do go through a lot of different types of emotions and you need to really savor the emotions. I was very angry, as Sherri was and as Larry mentioned, about having a plan in my life, and how that was going to be changed, and why was this going to happen to me.
I think the thing that I want to emphasize is that there is a lot of energy that happens when you find out you're HIV positive. The doctor mentioned shock. The body does respond -- emotionally, psychologically and physiologically. I think it's good to use that energy to start changing, as Sherri mentioned, and start doing things that you know you need to do.
It was a jolt for me to move on with my life. I went after things that I suppose I was sort of dragging my feet on, which is with recovery. I was dealing with addiction problems, with my own writing, and with being more conscious and open about my own sexuality, being a bisexual.
I had to face a lot of things about myself. And it was hard. But I think I began to use the energy. Of course, I used my creativity and I also had been practicing yoga. I really latched on to my spiritual practice, and the community of yoga teachers and friends that I had.

AN INDEPENDENT Scotland would need to renegotiate about 8,500 treaties which the UK is currently party to, according to legal advice from two experts on international law.
The advice to the UK government that Scotland would have to "start again" and re-apply to every organisation the UK belongs to is contained in a 57-page document, which is due to be published today. It comes alongside the London government's first paper on the implications of a UK break-up, which also comes out today.
The UK is a party to several thousand international treaties – 14,000 treaties are listed on the Foreign Office's database and about 8,500 are still active – and is a member of many international organisations, including the United Nations, European Union, Nato, Interpol, International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organisation.
The authors, Professor James Crawford, of Cambridge University, and Professor Alan Boyle, of Edinburgh University, conclude that, in the event of Scottish independence, the rest of the UK would be the continuing state and member of international organisations and Scotland would need to apply for its own membership.
The document was immediately dismissed as "breathtaking arrogance" by Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
The UK government's 100-page paper on the implications of independence, which will deal with legal and constitutional matters, will be unveiled today as the first of a series of publications through the year.
Further papers will follow looking at the impact of independence on issues such as foreign affairs, defence, tax,
pensions, energy and welfare.
In the supporting document, the UK government for the first time reveals the legal advice it has received on the international status of Scotland and the rest of the UK, should there be a vote for independence next year.
The report concludes that Scotland would have to agree a new series of legal, trade and defence agreements around the world. The opinion raises doubts over a report last week from the Scottish Government, which set a timescale of independence being achieved within 16 months of a Yes vote.
The document says there are several reasons why Scotland would become a "new state" and the remainder of the UK would be a "continuing state".
First, the majority of previous cases in the 20th-century show the larger state is the successor state. Significant examples include UK/Ireland (1922), British India (1947), Singapore/Malaysia (1965), Bangladesh/Pakistan (1971-72), USSR (1990-91), Ethiopia/Eritrea (1993), Serbia/Montenegro (2006) and Sudan/South Sudan (2011).
The academics also say the role of population and territory has been an important deciding factor in other cases where a "new state" has been created. If Scotland became independent, the "continuing" UK would have the majority of both the population (92 per cent) and territory (68 per cent).
And they claim that the UK's prominent role in international affairs, including being one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, means that the rest of the UK continuing as the successor state would be accepted to prevent major disruption to international affairs.
Alistair Darling, chairman of the Better Together campaign, said: "This is a formidable legal opinion from two internationally respected lawyers. Their opinions cannot just be dismissed by the Nationalists.
"Again, it begs the question where is the advantage to Scotland of breaking its links with the rest of the UK, losing influence as well as all the other economic advantages that come from being together?"
But Ms Sturgeon said the UK government's paper was contradicted by other legal opinions. She also argued that in the case of Serbia and Montenegro both countries agreed to Serbia being the continuing state – it was not settled as a matter of law. "Similarly, in the case of the USSR," said Ms Sturgeon, "the republics that became the CIS agreed to Russia being the continuing state.
"This is an act of breathtaking arrogance by this Tory-led UK government, which shatters their claim that Scotland is an equal partner within the UK, and will only serve to boost support for an independent Scotland.
"For the UK government to argue that the UK will be a continuing state and that an independent Scotland would have no rights betrays a near-colonial attitude to Scotland's position as a nation and gives lie to any suggestion that they see Scotland as an equal partner in the UK.
"It also raises a very important question for the UK government: if they are prepared to lay claim to the assets of the UK, are they also prepared to take on all of its liabilities, such as the UK national debt?"

Hermetically Sealed, Dual Channel Line Receiver Optocouplers
Currently Viewing:
The HCPL-1931 is a high reliability Class H two channel hermetically sealed high CMR line receiver optocoupler in a 16-Pin ceramic DIP package. Gold plated leads, solder dipped leads and various lead form options are also available. See the datasheet for details.
The product is capable of operation and storage over the full military temperature range and may also be purchased as either commercial grade or with full MIL-PRF-38534 Class Level K testing or from the DLA Standard Microcircuit Drawing (SMD) 5962-89572. The devices are manufactured and tested on a MIL-PRF-38534 certified line and are included in the DLA Qualified Manufacturers List QML-38534 for Hybrid Microcircuits.
Each unit contains two independent channels, consisting of a GaAsP light emitting diode, an input current regulator, and an integrated high gain photon detector. The input regulator serves as a line termination for line receiver applications. It clamps the line voltage and regulates the LED current so line reflections do not interfere with circuit performance. The regulator allows a typical LED current of 12.5 mA before it starts to shunt excess current. The output of the detector IC is an open collector Schottky clamped transistor. An enable input gates the detector. The internal detector shield provides a guaranteed common mode transient immunity specification of 1000 V/micro-second. DC specifications are compatible with TTL logic and are guaranteed from -55 degrees C to 125 degrees C allowing trouble-free interfacing with digital logic circuits. An input current of 10 mA will sink a six gate fan-out (TTL) at the output with a typical propagation delay from input to output of only 45 nsec.

Updated December 17, 2012! I just made this old favorite in the slow cooker and loved it, so I thought I should bump the recipe up on the blog. Below you can read my old post from 2011, or scroll down for my new preferred method, as well as the oven version.
This was my first brisket ever, and I loved it. I had always thought of this cut as a flabby, frumpy roast, but it's far from it. For starters, this is the meat that's most often the choice for Texas barbecue. It's popular with slow cooker fans too, but I wanted a simple, oven-braised dish. What I found was that this cut of meat is highly forgiving, very lean, and perfect for low and slow roasting.
There are many, many recipes for braised brisket. It seems that everyone has their own favorite touch or recipe that they consider the best. I was focused on making the meat tender and moist with a savory, slightly tangy red sauce. I equated brisket to pork butt (scroll down for recipe), which is amazing after several hours in the oven wrapped in a tight foil packet. Both are tough cuts of meat that need slow, moist cooking to become tender.
After reading a ton of recipes, I went with what was probably the simplest one: you smother the roast with onions and celery and braise it in beer and Heinz chili sauce. It is so easy. The recipe comes from fiction writer Stacey Ballis, who I interviewed a while back about her latest book, Good Enough to Eat. The book includes this recipe, as well as the one for her excellent banana-chocolate chip muffins.
I also discovered an essential (in my mind) key to the brisket-making process, which Stacey and many other recipe writers (including the people at Cook's Illustrated) agree with: Cook the brisket a day ahead. Since the cooking process is so easy and requires minimal hands-on time, this is very do able. Refrigerating the brisket in its roasting pan overnight allows it to keep absorbing flavor from the cooking liquid, AND it allows the fat to harden, so you can easily skim it off. You want to remove all that fat because you're going to turn those juices into a wonderful sauce (don't worry, it's simple). Furthermore, it's very easy to trim the fat from a chilled brisket, and you'll be able to slice it without the meat falling apart, like it would when hot. Finally, you'll also get the opportunity to smother the sliced meat in your wonderful sauce and reheat it in the oven, so that every bit of meat is covered in goodness.
It's a great thing to cook, and I love that the recipe isn't complicated in the least. So, how do YOU cook your brisket? I'd love to hear about it in the comments.
4 1/2 pounds (approximate) beef brisket, trimmed of as much visible fat as you want
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cayenne pepper to taste or chili powder
Dried oregano
1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil
12 ounces bottle Heinz chili sauce
16 ounces lager beer
4 celery ribs, peeled and chopped
Oven-Baked Beef Brisket
Adapted from Good Enough to Eat by Stacey Ballis, and buoyed by lots of recipe research.
Requires overnight refrigeration; Serves 8 to 10
This recipe calls for what is technically a half brisket. It should weigh in between 4 and 5 pounds (mine was 4.25). If you only have 12 oz. bottles of beer, that's fine; I had pint cans in the fridge, so that's what I used. Heinz brand chili sauce isn't required, but I figure it's the classic choice. I served this with braised greens and caramelized onions and whole wheat beer bread (recipe coming soon!).
4 1/2 lb. beef brisket, untrimmed
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cayenne pepper
Dried oregano
4 cloves garlic, smashed with the side of a knife
2 onions, sliced
4 celery ribs, chopped
12 oz. bottle Heinz chili sauce
16 oz. beer (lager is a good choice; nothing too bitter)
1 to 2 Tbs. apple cider vinegar
Day One: Preheat oven to 350 F. To a large roasting pan, add enough water to equal a depth just under half an inch. Rub brisket with salt, pepper, cayenne and oregano according to your taste. Although this thick piece of meat requires a good salting, don't go crazy, as the chili sauce will contribute a lot of salt to the dish. Rub some of the smashed garlic over brisket, place in roasting pan fat side up, and tuck garlic cloves around and under the meat. Cover brisket with sliced onions and celery and pour chili sauce on top. Bake, uncovered in the center of the oven for 90 minutes.
Reduce oven temp to 300 F. Take roasting pan out of oven, and add the beer and 1 Tbs of the vinegar. Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil. Return to oven and cook until the meat is very tender, 3 to 4 hours (mine was done in 3.5 hours). Brisket is done when you can stick a fork in the center and pull it back out feeling no (or very little) resistance. Cool partially covered at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
Day Two: Preheat oven to 300 F. Lift brisket out of pan and place on cutting board. Skim the hardened fat off the top of the cooking liquid in the pan. Pick all the veggies off the top of the brisket and add to pan. Transfer the contents of the pan (all the cooking liquid and vegetables) to a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Heat the sauce, stirring often, until it loosens up and is warmed through (do not boil). Remove from heat and puree with an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender. At this point, you may want to add 1/4 cup to 1 cup water to thin the sauce to your desired consistency and ease blending. Taste and add additional vinegar if desired.
Trim all visible fat from the brisket and slice against the grain. Transfer meat to 9 x 13-inch (or similar) baking dish. Pour sauce over meat. Cover with foil and bake until meat is heated through, 30 to 45 minutes. Serve immediately.

1. Mistakes
Rating 3.6/5 Word Count 1776 Review this Chapter
My alarm went off suddenly, it's annoying pinging noise dragging me from my perfect slumber. I rolled the cover off my head and scowled at the ceiling. It was pink. I had stopped liking the colour pink ages ago, but kept the ceiling because of mum. She still thinks i'm her little princess or something. I might casually ask her to change it, before i ripped the wallpaper off. Just as i had this thought, thunder rumbled outside. I swung my legs over the side of the bed sinking my feet into the soft carpet. I directed my scowl at the window, watching the lightning. As i walked into the bathroom to have a shower, i suddenly remembered why i had woken up at this ungodly hour. Lucas. The hottest guy at our school, he could have any girl he wanted. But instead he chose plain old me. I daren't question why. I didn't want this fairytale bubble to end. I smiled at the thought of my "fairy tale", light streamed through my un-suite bathroom window, almost like it had sensed my happiness. Strange, i thought, hadn't it just been, like, a thunderstorm outside? Leaving this to ponder about silently in the back of my mind, i had my shower and got dressed with particualr care. Alluring but not too sexy. Smart but casual. These comparisons ran through my head, as the weather yet again changed to a murky grey. Stupid London. No wonder people were forever getting sick at school, the weather hates us. I glanced at the clock. It read 7:30 in huge green letters. WOW. It had taken an hour and a half to do my hair. But i was still early, oh well, it'd give me more time to do my homework in the 1st year common room.
Waking up early was my First Mistake.
I thought about wearing heals, and then was reminded of my last pair. The one's that almost crippled me. I shuddered away from that memory. Instead i slipped on some really cute Black and White checkered all stars. They went pretty well with my grey skinny jeans. I flew dpwn two flights of stairs 2 at a time, almost tripping three times. I dont know were in my genetics i picked up this totally loss of hand- eye co-ordination. I mean my mum was the most graceful person i had ever seen. She put the most experienced ballerina's to shame. I ran to the door, but was lulled back by the smell of my mum's baking. As i reached the kitchen door, i cracked it open a bit, and watched my mum. I laughed silently to myself. My mum was probably the person the "House wife" stereotype stemmed from. She was wearing a pink dress, one that should have been left back in the 1940's, with a cream apron on top, with just the right amount of thrills to make me roll my eyes. Her mahogany hair was pulled into a loose bun, half way up her head. Little tuffs had escaped from the bun, and fell in delicate places making her look even MORE beautiful. She mirrored me in more ways than one, but her eyes had more blue in them, and she was a shade of darker brown than me. Also she was slightly pale. She didn't look a day over 25, all the female teachers and mothers at my school were all envious. All the male teachers and the fathers at my school all wanted to kiss her, and probably more, i thought with a stab of anger. Stupid perverted little-
"Are you going to stand there all morning? Or were you planning on having brekkie?"
Brekkie. My mother's own word for breakfast.
"Actually" i said stepping into the room and walking over to the fruit basket." I'm going in early". I picked up a apple and made my way to the door.
" I hope it's not to meet, that Lucas fellow.." She said conversationally.
I mentally kicked myself. I was halfway out the door, into the hallway. I gripped the doorframe tight. Scared i might break it i loosened my hold.
"Wha-What?" i stammered. I hadn't stuttered since i was eight!
"Lucas, he called last night while you were in the shower."
"What did he say?" I breathed, my heart slamming against my chest, it felt like it was about to break my ribs in the process of jumping out of my body!
"Nothing much," Mum said with a grin, as if she could hear my heart "Just asked where you were and if he could talk to you"
A relieved gust of air left my lungs, my mothers grin grew broader.
"Well i hope you two aren't going out because-"
"'You not allowed to have a boyfriend till your 18' " I finnshed for her.*yeah i KNOW mum"
Oh i knew only too well. But that didn't mean i obeyed. I was 16 going to be 17 in a month. All of my friends had boyfriends. Even Unfortunate Kate, called so because her hair was as greasy as oil slick. But oh no. She had found love, and now so had i. And no one, not eben mum, was going to take that away from me.
"Good" She replied, she didn't sound convinced. "Do you want a ride to school?"
"Uh. No. I'm good. See you later." I called as i ran out of the house with an apple in my hand.
Saying No was me Second Mistake
I ran out onto the pavement, appreciating the clean air for once, while looking at all the different Victorian houses. Non were small but they were all different. Unique. Sometimes the differences were miniscule. But i always saw, The delicate embroidery on the stone, was different on every house, different houses would be different colours. They were all different yet, all the same. I turned left as i made my way to school.
Two kids caught my eye as i started to walk. They had a map infront of their faces and were bickering slightly. It seemed odd to me that they were wearing dark black cloaks. When the wind rustled one of the hoods, It fell to reveal one of the most beautiful girl's face i had ever seen. Her lips were full, but not to big, Her body curved. At first glance someone might have taken her for a boy. But she was a girl.Differently a girl. I sharp pain of jealousy stabbed my gut. But i ignored it. They looked like they were lost, and being the good samaritan i was i offered to help them out.
Offering to help them was my Third mistake.
"Hi" I greeted them as i walked up the street to them. The girl hadn't pulled her hood back up, and close up it was obvious she was a girl, and not a boy. Her skin was the most palest i had ever seen. It looked almost chalky.
The person standing next to her looked up and lowered the hood obscuring it's face. I did a double take when i saw him. He looked alot like the girl, i assumed now that they were twins. He was just as beautiful but with less plump lips. I noticed that both their eyes were violet. Strange shade of eyes to have, but they looked pretty on them.
"Hello" He answered, he spoke like any other British boy, but had a slight Italian accent.
"You look lost" I said eyeing the map." Do you need help? Where are you two heading?"
"We need to get to the town hall." he rolled her eyes" Our mum's WAY to over protective!"
"Oh i know were that is! But i'm horrible with directions, i'll just walk you there, i'm way too early for school anyway."
"You would? Oh thankyou so much! I'm Jane byt the way, and that's my brother Alec."
I smiled, i loved meating new people.
"Elaine, or Ellie" I put out my hand for them to shake. When they did they're grips were surprisingly strong, and cold. Their skin was ice cold. Well maybe about 3 degrees warmer than ice then. But you understand. I walked off in the direction of the town hall, it wasn't that far from my school. Ii turned back and beckoned them forward. While of was walking, i found something bothering me. Something vital. I shoved that thought to the back of my mind, but i kept getting that uneasy feeling in my stomach.
I turned down an Alley that would put us right at the side of The Town Hall. And it suddenly hit me with amazing force what was bothering me. When they walked they made no sound. My instincts were screaming at me to pick up the pace and get out of the alley. So i did. I put my head down and flat out speed walked to the end of the alley. When i looked up about 20 yards from the mouth of the alley. I found the boy, Alec, standing in my way.
Shear panic took over and i tried to make a run for it.
Trying to run was my last mistake.
Something flew out and hit me square on the chest.
I had the sensation of being on a rollercoaster. You know. Like your flying but you wont get hurt, being you have the harness. Yeah, that's what it felt like. Flying. Only this time, i didn't have a safety harness. My back hit something hard, i assumed the floor. I heard several sickening snaps. But i was loosing consciousness fast, so they didn't really register. I welcomes the deep slumber, hoping i wouldn't awake, and see those eyes. The one's i thought were pretty.
"Pitifully frail isn't she?" Jane asked her brother. I knew there was something wrong with her. Too old a voice for such a young face. "How old is she anyway?"
"16 i think" Alec replied, from somewhere near. My eyes had started to droop.
"Good. Well i hope your pleased. It's only because of you that i agreed to come." Jane said, but it sounded like she said it from a far distance, although i could feel the cold coming off her. I put that down to my failing heart. Cold hands dragged me from the floor, and a scream erupted from my mouth as they jostled my broken bones.
"Shh, shh." Alec soothed. "You'll be whole again soon. And then you will be mine."
The last thing i remember before i died?
Pale snow falling all around me.

Clear Motion Rate of 60
- Experience sharp picture quality, even when you are watching fast-moving images like sports or action movies. Clear Motion Rate was developed to accurately measure how well an LCD or LED TV can depict fast-moving images.
- Previously, motion-clarity was calculated by the frame refresh rate alone. But CMR offers a more complete measure by calculating 3 factors: frame refresh rate, image processor speed and backlight technology.
- LED TVs with a CMR of 60 -120 can display action-packed movement with sharp detail and vivid contrast while eliminating image distortion

When the status of former Browns coach Pat Shurmur and former Browns G.M. Tom Heckert was in doubt, one of the primary sticking points for new owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner came from their failure to move from No. 4 to No. 2 in the 2012 draft to get quarterback Robert Griffin III.
Instead, the Browns unnecessarily traded up from No. 4 to No. 3 to get running back Trent Richardson. And the new regime provided the ultimate indictment of the old regime by already giving up on Richardson.
Per a league source, the new Browns management didn't have high regard for the oft-injured Richardson, who rushed for 950 yards in 2012 and 105 through two games in 2013. His career average is 3.5 yards per carry.
The move leaves the Browns with only two running backs — Chris Ogbonnaya and Bobby Rainey. They'll presumably add another running back to the activer roster; rookie Dennis Johnson currently is on the practice squad.
Most importantly, it also leaves the Browns with two first-round picks in 2014, which should give them plenty of ammunition to move up the board (if necessary) to get a franchise quarterback to replace the other first-round pick that Mike Holmgren and company made in 2012.

text: Jon, The size of the final source code for a program is not really relevant to human comprehension, because we chunk it. FORTRAN makes it possible for the engineer to comprehend a program that would be inaccessible to him as the equivalent (very long) list of Assembler statemtents; how far would you get with the IMSL if you had to inline every byte at the level of loading registers? And IDEs generate much more code these days than anyone wants to read. When you use Visual Basic to whip togehter a UI, which is fun and easy, it generates event handler hooks that nobody, really nobody, wants to look at. During the year that WorldCom tanked I was solely responsible for maintaining a million lines of legacy stuff. The produce of a team of Ivy PhD's using automation with proprietary libaries. There were hundreds of makefiles and build scripts; just compiling the project was almost too big to comprehend, much less the project itself. Yet one million lines is much smaller than 2GB :-) But it was comprensible as chunks, as modules, like you comprehend a map of Europe divided into countries, not blades of grass. Searching that for memory leaks was a bear though I can tell you. Also, a single (recursive) line of code can be incomprehensible in a strong sense. Consider the short defintiion of Mandelbrot sets. It might take a year of Complex Analysis to comprehend the short definition :-) but nobody can comprehend the result, in a sense. You can't predict what the resulting image will look like, other than that it will be pretty, confusing, and self-similar. Recursion is magical. I just don't think there is anything special about 32-bit addressing. CAD/CAM type methods, applied to software itself; the von Neuman architecure of the code segment being equivalent to the data segment; not to mention the potential of AI regenerating itself; makes any specific limit of code size difficult to imagine, for me. That said, I can imagine it will be /would be/ maybe already is somewhere, cool for a many-core design to be hierarchical; if you have a zillion cores on a chip, imagine 8 8-bit ALUs along side one 64-bit CPU, for vector processing of small integers, and each might quickly address it's own little chunk of 256 bytes of cache.

With thunderous applause and city officials cutting the proverbial red ribbon, Boulder's first large-scale bicycle-sharing program kicked off Friday morning with 100 volunteers delivering 100 bright-red bikes to a dozen stations across the city.
And waiting at the first station to be filled was Boulder resident Graham Hill, who immediately checked out the first bike.
"This is pretty exciting," said Graham, who purchased a 24-hour pass from the computer kiosk at 15th and Pearl streets. "It's a natural extension of the branding of this community."
As Graham peddled away to run errands, dozens more volunteers fanned out to stations along the Boulder Creek Path, at the Boulder Public Library and all along the downtown corridor.
The program, which mirrors the Denver B-cycle program, allows users to pay a fee for an annual membership, a seven-day pass or a 24-hour pass. During the membership period, riders can check out any bike at any B-cycle station for up to one hour without paying an additional fee.
For more information on the Boulder B-cycle program, visit boulder.bcycle.com.
The basics
What it is: B-cycle is a public bike-sharing program that allows members to check out bikes for an unlimited number of short rides without additional costs. Rides longer than one hour incur additional charges.
What it costs: Riders must purchase a membership to use a B-cycle bike. Memberships in Boulder will cost $50 for one year, $15 for seven days or $5 for 24 hours. During the membership period, riders can check out bikes an unlimited number of times. Every trip that's one hour or less is free, but rides longer than one hour cost an additional $4 per 30 minutes. A user may return a bike to a B-cycle station and immediately check out the bike again for another hour of use with no additional fee. There is a $1,000 fee for a lost or stolen bike.
How to buy: B-cycle memberships can be purchased online at boulder.bcycle.com, or at any station kiosk. Memberships require the use of a credit card, which also can be used in lieu of a membership card to access a B-cycle account at any kiosk.
Where they are: Currently, there are 12 stations and 100 bikes available. The stations are located at the following locations:
10th and Walnut streets
15th and Pearl streets
11th and Pearl streets
13th and Spruce streets
Boulder Public Library along Arapahoe Avenue
1777 Broadway at the Boulder Creek Path
Alpine Avenue and Broadway
26th and Pearl streets
1600 28th St.
19th Street at the Boulder Creek Path
3375 Mitchell Lane
3080 Center Green Drive
Rides longer than one hour are charged an additional $4 per 30 minutes -- which is designed to encourage quick turnaround and bike availability.
If a station is ever full, users are pointed to the next closest station and receive a 15-minute grace period.
Passes are available online at boulder.bcycle.com or at any B-cycle station, and all it takes to sign up is a valid credit card.
Bikes can be checked out between 5 a.m. and midnight, but can be returned any time. Boulder also will be the first of the handful of cities with B-cycle programs to offer access to the bikes year-round.
Lewis Wolman, executive director of Boulder B-cycle -- the nonprofit group that will manage the system -- said the program's launch represents a huge leap in bike sharing in Boulder.
"It's been a year in the making," Wolman said. "We invite everyone in Boulder to try it out."
He said the B-cycle concept is all about making alternative transportation fun and easy, while providing a way to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions from vehicles.
"Our aspiration was to become a beloved Boulder institution," he said. "Having bikes available on the corner -- we think that's really going to make a difference."
While the initial launch offers riders 12 stations and 100 bikes, Wolman said he hopes the system expands to 17 stations and 150 bikes by the end of the year.
That's music to the ears of Joe Bruce, a Boulder resident and Google employee who volunteered to ride one of the bikes to the station at 26th and Pearl streets.
"I love it," he said. "The B-cycle is going to be handy."
Steve Sander, director of strategic marketing for the city of Denver, which completed its first full year of B-cycle bike sharing last year, said Boulder is a "natural fit" for the program," but it will be up to residents and visitors to decide whether it's a success.
"You've got to get bigger and you've got to get more relevant," he said of bike-sharing programs such as B-cycle.
One way Boulder B-cycle could easily double in size is to tackle the University of Colorado campus. Only one station is now located on CU property, at 19th Street and the Boulder Creek Path, but CU officials said Friday that they look forward to the day that B-cycle expands to the broader campus.
Anne Heinz, dean of continuing education and professional studies at CU, was among the volunteer riders.
She said having one station on CU property is "a good start."
"It's another way the university and the city can partner," she said.
B-cycle officials said having those kinds of public and private partnerships will be a critical part of growing the system over time.
Speaking to the volunteer riders before their maiden voyages on Friday, Boulder Mayor Susan Osborne said B-cycle fills a long-needed hole in the city's transportation infrastructure.
"We've invested millions of dollars building our off-street bike paths," she said. "It seemed like there was this missing piece."
B-cycles, she said, will complete the puzzle.
"We love these things, and we expect it to be a great, great success," she said before committing to ride a B-cycle every day for the rest of the year.

Piazza del Campo is the principal public space of the historic center of Siena, Tuscany, Italy and is one of Europe's greatest medieval squares. It is renowned worldwide for its beauty and architectural integrity. The Palazzo Pubblico and its Torre del Mangia, as well as various palazzi signorili surround the shell-shaped piazza. At the northwest edge is the Fonte Gaia.
The Tuscany, one of the most beautiful Italian regions, is known throughout the world for its Landscapes and for the Works of Art that it houses (It is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance). Six localities have been designated World Heritage Sites: the Historical Center of Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Pienza, the Square of the Cathedral of Pisa with the Leaning Tower and the Val d'Orcia. It is in the central Italy and borders with Emilia Romagna (north), Marche and Umbria (east) and Lazio (South). The West coast is bathed from the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Sea; here we can find the islands of the Tuscan archipelago including the island of Elba. The regional capital is Florence and the other provinces are: Arezzo, Grosseto, Livorno, Lucca, Massa, Pisa, Pistoia, Prato and Siena.

To our users Please note that the HCV database site is no longer funded. We try to keep the database updated and the tools running, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee we can provide help for using this site. Data won't be manually curated either.
You may paste in any combination of nucleotide or amino acid sequences, or an uploaded file. The input box will also accept an accession number. The tool will locate and align your sequence(s) and display all results sequentially. You can mix nucleotide and amino acid sequences in your input.
The tool will, by default, also try to align the reverse complement of the submitted sequence(s). If a better match is found to the reverse complement than to the original sequence, the location and alignment of that match will be displayed. The results will prominently indicate that the reverse complement was used.
You may enter a single coordinate by entering that coordinate in the "from" box and checking the "include surrounding region" box. This will retrieve the 42 residues surrounding the given coordinate.
You may enter 'end' as a second coordinate with any valid first coordinate; the tool will retrieve the reference sequence for the specified region from the starting coordinate to the end of the sequence in that region.
You may specify nucleotide or protein output for both 'locate' and 'retrieve' requests; this is the only instance in which input from both parts of the form may be combined. Other combination requests will be rejected; you cannot, for instance, specify coordinates along with a pasted sequence, or ask for the surrounding region to be included in a request to locate the sequence for an accession number.

The metropolis of the Caucasus, Baku is a city of significant wealth. And that is reflected in the city skyline. In the last few decades, gloomy Soviet patina has made way for the glitz and glamour worthy of a rich oil state. In addition to the towers of medieval fortresses, the outlines of futuristic skyscrapers define the skyline.
It is a matter of personal taste how the modern architecture compares to the buildings of the former shahs. Fortunately the beauty of the historic city centre, Ichari-Shahar, has withstood the ravages of time. Many of the buildings on display have been designated a place on the UNESCO World Heritage list. But the 100-year-old boulevard of Baku is also a worthwhile attraction, albeit a lot less subtle than the other monuments.
The foundation of Baku is Ichari-Shahar, the historic centre of the city. This is where the Palace of the Shirvanshah was erected in the 12th century A.D. The complex is still an important part of the city's cultural life, hosting festivals and folkloric dance performances. Another striking structure is the 28-metre-high Qiz Qalasi, also known as the Maiden Tower. Throughout the ages, this structure has served as a watch tower, beacon, astronomical observatory and temple. According to legend, the tower got its name when an unwilling future bride of the shah threw herself from the building into the Caspian Sea.
For many years Baku's impressive Carpet Museum was housed in an old mosque of the historic city centre. In 2014, the museum was moved into a new building on the boulevard along the Caspian coast. This 'modern' part of Baku developed around the start of the last century, when wealthy oil barons built their large mansions here. Since then, the boulevard has grown significantly. Visitors won't have any trouble finding the new Carpet Museum. Architects designed the building in the shape of an enormous rolled up carpet. The museum displays more than 10,000 artefacts, ranging from magnificent carpets to ancient jewels.
