Disappointed I was so disappointed with these shoes - I bought a satin, ivory colored dress from David's Bridal (which I LOVE) and thought that these shoes would be the perfect match, but I was dead wrong. The colors clash horribly, the bottom of the slipper shows when you are wearing them and they look tacky. My mother-in-law to be was horrified. Needless to say, I will not be wearing these at my wedding. May 22, 2012
I LOVE these slippers!! I ordered these when I ordered my dress last week, and since my feet are sensitive to heels these are just what I was looking for. After looking in 100 different stores I never could find any plain white flats and thought I would never find any. So glad I ordered these. Although my wedding is not for two months as soon as I slipped them on I was hooked and can't wait till my wedding day to wear them. May 18, 2012
Isabelle shoes! I bought these shoes for my senior prom and plan on ordering more for my fast approaching wedding! so comfortable, elegant, and surprisingly durable! Also perfect for when your future hubby is on the short side ;) November 30, 2011
So comfy I just bought these for my beach wedding! They say online only...but i just git mine from my local store! November 19, 2010

I feel like my face will break out and then start to clear so I have a few precious days of clear skin then I start the whole process over again. I'm praying this stuff works. My face was looking pretty good until four days ago and now I have a papule on the left corner of my mouth which I picked at and now it's scabbed. I know, I need to stop. and a papule on my left cheekbone as well as a scab I picked on the right side of my mouth. I'm hoping to keep this updated so I can keep track of my progress and see if anyone else out there has any insight on this drug. I've noticed that it takes a while to work, so I'm hoping it does eventually!!

Two small zits around my nose, one is on it's way out. The scaring is still there which sucks because I don't want to put make up on, so I just go around with red marks on my face. Le sigh. I suppose life goes on. I notice that my hair is not oily like it used to be and my skin isn't nearly as oily as it used to be either which is nice. I do have little tiny bumps on my face that are not even noticeable but usually they get inflamed and scar. It's annoying. I just hope they go away. Right now the face is looking pretty good. It's not perfect and there is plenty of scaring, but I'm hopeful. I think this is working for me and am excited to continue it. I do have really low blood pressure with it though. I took it today and it was 89/71. I get a bit light headed sometimes, but I've always had that so I'm used to it. I just hope that when they draw my blood they ok me for the future. My gyno said I could do 200mg if I wanted which surprised me, but I will talk to my derm about that and see what he things. I'm ok with the 100 for now.
Anyway fingers crossed!

I'll keep you updated.
Posted 02 August 2011 - 08:37 PM
Yeah I noticed my period came like 2 weeks after I finished my last one, so I have a feeling I might have the same thing happen to me. Did the uppage help the acne at all?
Posted 02 August 2011 - 08:44 PM
That's good to know. I have noticed that where my typical acne is, it seems to be disappearing, but now I am getting a few deeper sits around my cheeks by my nose. I wonder if this is the Finecea. I will have to ask my doctor. My face just seems dry. I don't know if it's doing any good. I was using it a month before I used the Spiro and it didn't seem to do anything then either except make my skin dry. I think I had more luck with the benzeoyl peroxide I was using before. I'll let you all know what happens at the doctor!!
An update though,
I thought I only had like one or two on my cheeks, but I feel more like four around my nose. THey haven't gotten big yet, but one is developing nicely. Awesome. Terrific. Grrr. However, around my mouth seems to be doing well *knock on wood* and that has been my biggest problem area.
Oddly, the acne I have now is the kind I used to get before all of these problems started. It's like the kind from 7th grade. I would upload pictures, but I don't know if I would be able to figure out how. Perhaps I'll try inbetween studying for the GRE. Yeah, that stress doesn't help. Anyway, I thank you both for posting on here and please let me know if you have any other advice!!
Posted 03 August 2011 - 09:32 AM
I think I'm going to scream. I woke up with two one on my cheek that seems deep and the other one is just getting bigger. I need this nightmare to stop now. Pleaseandthankyou. However everytime I got to the doctor my face seems fine so maybe he will get to see it now and know how sucky it is. Merr. I know it takes time so I'm staying strong.
the one that's getting bigger was from a little bump I've had for a long time, even before the spiro. I'm guessing the pore was already clogged and now it's infected. Awesome.
Posted 04 August 2011 - 10:41 PM
I'm sooo frustrated. I have two huge zits on my right cheek. The rest of my face is looking really clear, but these two are huge and painful!!! I'm going to the derm tomorrow. I'm going to ask for a cortisone shot, but I doubt he'll give it to me, but really I'm in pain and it looks awful. I tried to pop it but nothing happened and I didn't want to make it any worse. I also just got my hair done, since it was looking pretty nasty and it looks great now... all I need is a great face. I just wish it would stop hurting!! Seriously if my derm doesn't give me cortisone I'm going to buy cream or something. AWFUL.
Posted 05 August 2011 - 01:14 PM
I went to the derm and am now going to be taking Cephalexin with my Spiro. It's an antibiotic which should help with any big break outs. So far my face is looking really great except for the two nasty, huge cycstic zits. Well one is a cyst or so my derm said. Luckily he did put two shots of cortisone in them, so they should be a lot better in the next two days or so. THANK GOD. Otherwise he said it would take 2-3weeks for them to really be gone. He was like so what do you wanna do? I'm like dude, shoot me up with that stuff. I also got changed to the cream form of my topical because my face is dry now and that wasn't helping. Ah. I'll let you know if I get any better in the next few days!!
Posted 07 August 2011 - 10:01 AM
My derm lied, I'm not taking the antibiotic, but he did increase my dosage to 150mg a day. The two on face are so much better. They're still a bit red, but I'll take that over what they were 2 days ago anytime.
Posted 07 August 2011 - 08:36 PM

please keep posting...I have a young daughter who I think has hormonal acne. Shes on Keflex but still REALLY breaking out! I think she needs the pill or spiro...PLEASE KEEP posting! Thankyou! I went through this as a young teenager...This is like reliving it again. I feel so bad for my daughter. She is beautiful and doesn't need to have this to deal with before her teens! SInce she was 9!
Posted 09 August 2011 - 01:10 PM
Anyway MomOfGirl I will most certainly keep posting if I can!
Right now I have another huge deep cyst like zit near my eye. Luckily I somehow got back in to the derm for tomorrow to get it shot up with cortisone. I also have one near my nose however it doesn't seem to be deep, but it hurts. HOpefully he can get that one too. The one by my eye really hurts!! Yikes! Oddly enough the two that are the most noticeable are the ones he already put the medicine in. They aren't active but I think it's going to take time for them to really fully heal and not be red. With makeup it doesn't look too bad. Not great, but not horrid. I don't really like wearing make up but I'm going to to work and then take it off as soon as I get home.
As for your daughter, I hope she doesn't have to go through this. My mom said the same thing. She had acne and still does a little. So far my face is much less oily and around my mouth is doing really well. It's just my right cheek that decided to break out. I have no idea why this is happening. I've been told it'll take 90 days to really see consistent clear skin so I'm waiting. Hopefully there won't be anymore deep painful ones for awhile. I can't deal with them!!
I'm going on a trip this weekend and was hoping for clearer skin. Hoping that this trip will be the last emergency one needed, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Hoping this clears up. xoxo
Posted 11 August 2011 - 08:33 PM
Well the nasty huge gross ones on my cheek are on their way out buuttt they are scabbed and kinda scarred. Time will only help those suckers.
However, I have on semi-deep on on my chin and like 3 little white heads on my chin as well. I did just start my period today. Well that explains the white heads. This happens around this time I suppose, but I was hoping the meds would help that. I don't know. I just hope these really are just white heads and not something more awful. That is like my biggest fear. I can handle white heads. Cysts I cannot deal with. No sir. Well time will only help my right cheek and time will only tell what will become of my chin.
I was so hoping to go out of town this weekend with a somewhat clear face. Guess not. Well I'm not letting it ruin anything. It's already ruined a lot and I"m not giving it this. I refuse. Ugh. Ok that's all for. now. Still on the 150 mgs a day. Hope this works.
Posted 14 August 2011 - 08:31 PM
*150mgs oops
*150mgs oops
Posted 16 August 2011 - 01:52 PM
Woke up this morning and felt little bumps all over my left cheek. Started to cry. Then I got in the shower and saw my chest... and neck. I have little red bumps all over my chest neck and a little on my face. I guess I have a rash. Called the doc. Probably not the Spiro. I'm pretty sure the stuff on my face is part of the rash. I have NO IDEA what it's from. I've thought of everything. They don't really itch. It just happened over night. I was five 12 hours ago. I must have like 60 little red bumps. I don't really care about looks. I just want to find out what happened so I don't have to deal with it again. What is UP with my skin? Ugh. Hoping this clears up. As for my face. No new deep zits and the white heads are pretty much gone. Just got the rash thing. I'm actually hoping it is a rash so it goes away and it doesn't mean that it's more acne. Weird I know. It's like when I have a zit and it turns into a white head. I start jumping for joy because it's not a cyst. Pathetic. I know.
Anyway, I'll keep posting!

People's Law Guide
Ahamad Abu-Aziz, a former United Airlines mechanic, was awarded $300,000.00 for his emotional pain and suffering and lost wages by jurors who heard him describe how fellow employees slurred his religious practices. The Oakland, California jury also awarded Abu-Aziz an additional $2.6 million in punitive damages.
In Seattle, jurors awarded $100,000 to Nancy Farnam, who had worked in a nursing home operated by Crista Ministries. Farnam claimed that co-workers mocked and harassed her religious views about removing feeding tubes from vegetative patients. Farnam quit her job, she told jurors, because coworkers created intolerable work conditions.
Philip Lepor, a San Diego dentist who sued Safeguard Health Plans, testified that managers fired him on the day before he was to take leave to observe Jewish holidays. Lepor stated he received superior performance evaluations and that he requested leave three weeks prior to being fired. An arbitrator awarded Lepor more than $124,000 plus additional sums for attorney's fees when disbelieving management claims of not knowing that Lepor wanted time off.
Florida law, as well as federal law, prohibits private organizations with 15 or more employees from engaging in religious discrimination. All governmental employers are barred from committing religious bias.
Accommodating Religious Practices:
Federal and state laws do more than prohibit employers from considering religious beliefs when making staffing-related decisions such as hiring, promoting and disciplining. Employers and labor unions must make efforts to "reasonably accommodate" their employees' religious observances and practices, unless able to demonstrate "undue hardships" would occur.
Employers are also barred from imposing additional requirements on workers receiving religious accommodations. For example, Pyro Mining Company of California was found to have illegally required a worker who sought Sundays off for sabbath assistance to obtain scheduling exchanges without aid from his employer.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's guidelines require employers to provide reasonable accommodations in a wide variety of circumstances, including when:
* Religious obligations conflict with work schedules.
"Non-Believers" Also Protected:
While most people know that anti-discrimination laws protect adherents of "mainstream" or "traditional" religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, many are not aware that these same laws safeguard workplace rights of persons holding "sincere beliefs" in faiths which are "new, uncommon, not part of a formal church or sect, only subscribed to by a small number of people, or that seem illogical or unreasonable to others." Atheists and agnostics are also protected by Federal and Florida laws, because employers are not permitted to treat employees or applicants more or less favorably because of beliefs about religion.
Although Federal law places limits on how much money can be awarded for emotional pain and suffering in job bias cases, Florida's own laws don't impose this restriction. That's why complaints of religious discrimination should be filed with the Florida Commission on Human Relations, as well as with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

EnergySolutions Inc., the nuclear waste company headquartered in Salt Lake City, reported revenues and income were up for the most recent quarter while its CEO said the firm would continue cutting costs and consider selling some of its assets.
Revenues for the second quarter of its 2012 fiscal year were $392.6 million, or 2.7 percent less than the $403.7 million recorded in the same quarter a year ago. Net income for the same quarter was $5.4 million, or 6 cents per share. A year ago, EnergySolutions reported second-quarter net income of $500,000, or 1 cent per share.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The latest results beat analyst estimates by about 2 cents per share.
In a conference call with investors Wednesday, David Lockwood, president and chief executive officer, said the company will focus on the core businesses of processing and disposal of low-level nuclear waste, with a strategy of growing by partnering with others companies instead trying to expand on its own.
"We're in too many businesses in too many places," Lockwood told investors, while adding that EnergySolutions could sell off some of its units in order to concentrate on more profitable ones.
"We're confident, with focus, we can grow our company," he said.
EnergySolutions' board of directors named Lockwood CEO on June 11, following a management shakeup that saw the resignation of Val John Christensen as the company's top executive and the replacement of William Benz as chief financial officer. The new CFO is Greg Wood.
The company's stock price dropped by half after the move — the second management overhaul in two years — and hasn't recovered since then.
But the new managers, in place just 58 days, said they are determined to improve the bottom line by trimming costs, reducing debt and setting the stage for long-term growth by raising additional capital.
"In order to focus our company," Lockwood said, "we will consider asset sales."
That includes the possibility of EnergySolutions selling off its nuclear cleanup business in the United Kingdom, the source of significant profits over the past few years. The company acknowledged last month it has entertained offers for that business.
Meanwhile, Lockwood described the company's mile-square disposal site for low-level radioactive waste in Utah as one EnergySolutions most important assets and a foundation for its future growth.
Volumes of waste shipped to the site have fallen. But, coupled with the company's large waste-processing plant in Tennessee and its expertise in shipping waste, prospects look good going forward as 12 more nuclear plants representing about $4 billion in business await decommissioning, Lockwood said.

Boss not ruling out activity at Goodison Park.
Everton manager David Moyes says it's impossible to rule out January transfer activity at Goodison Park.
The Blues boss didn't give too much away when asked about his plans for the window on Friday but did hint he would assess his options - particularly in the loan market - when the New Year comes around.
Last January saw Darron Gibson and Nikica Jelavic arrive from Manchester United and Glasgow Rangers respectively, while Steven Pienaar returned to the Club on loan from Sunday's opponents Tottenham.
Initially asked if he envisaged more incomings 12 months on, Moyes replied: "I don't think so."
Following that, however, the Scot admitted: "We may well go into the loan market and see if we can find anything in that area. I think that would probably be the way we are looking.
"But that was the same as we were doing last year but what happened was we got a sale of [Diniyar] Bilyaletdinov, who went back to Russia, and it freed us up a little bit of cash to go and make the signings. So you never can tell."
As for players leaving Goodison Park, Moyes added: "I've said many times if they [other clubs] want to come, they can come, no problem. Come and watch from the stands. But you better come with a big chequebook."
Tickets for Sunday's game against Tottenham are still available. To buy, call 0871 663 1878 or click here.
Alternatively, visit Everton Two in Liverpool One or Ticket Quarter in Queen Square.

Two weeks ago, I got together with my friend Eli to bake in honor of our last day of German class. I brought the Bambinim challah recipe, since it's easy and we thought it would be nice to make bread, and she brought a cinnamon bun recipe that she found because, well, who doesn't love cinnamon buns? It was definitely more complicated than the challah - the dough was pretty sticky and had to be kneaded a few times in 10 minute intervals and then left alone to rise for an hour - but the result was so delicious and definitely worth the effort (well, she mostly made the effort, but it looked worth the effort!). All I have to do is look at the picture and I remember how they taste - fluffy, sweet, buttery and full of cinnamon, with a tiny hint of lemon. And our entire German class ate like kings the next day during our last 15 minute break!
Painfully cold day in Berlin + Rafa and Vanessa visiting me = French Toast and Oatmeal Raisin Scones for Brunch and tomato and cheese tartlets for afternoon snack.
Last year, I worked in an office where we would order in for lunch a lot, especially when the weather was bad. We would often order from a Greek restaurant not so far away, and while all of their food was delicious, one dish in particular stands out in my memory - their Avgolemono soup. This is essentially broth with a lot of lemon, some rice, and whisked eggs. Once a colleague offered me a sip and I was instantly in love. Imagine my distress when I found out moments later that it was made with chicken broth (I don't eat meat) and that I would never be able to order this soup for myself!
It's been pretty cold here lately, it being winter and all, and recently I thought about those lunch-ordering days of old and remembered the Avgolemono soup. I thought of how delicious it was and had to try to make it, which I did with the help of a recipe from a Mark Bittman cookbook, adapted so as to suit my vegetarian tastes.
To make a long story short, I cooked some rice in vegetable broth, added diced tomatoes (optional), and turned the heat down so that the soup barely simmered. In a different bowl, I whisked together two eggs plus the juice from one lemon (I like my soup very lemony - I think I was only supposed to add a few tablespoons). Then, after making sure that the soup was not hot enough to curdle the eggs (that is, not boiling), I slowly added one ladleful of soup to the egg and lemon mixture and then another, whisking all the while. Then I added this mixture to the soup on the stove and stirred, being careful never to let it boil.
A short while later, I was happily eating, no longer deprived of such an excellent experience through the use of chicken stock. This turned out to be a surprisingly simple soup to prepare and which I am guessing I will find very appealing the next time I feel a cold coming on.
What do you do with too many sesame seeds? "Make cookies" is the only logical answer, and it is also what I did when faced with the aforementioned situation. A few cups of semolina flour and a fair amount of honey later, I had enough cookies to share with my German class and then some. They were not the most delicious cookies I have ever eaten in my life, but they were good in that kind of comforting homemade way. It doesn't hurt that they turned out so pretty either.
Last week for our weekly Playcafé, we painted Hanukkiot with the kids. In the spirit of the holiday (although it hadn't started yet), I called my grandma and asked her to tell me how she makes her Sufganiot. Let me tell you, people, I was skeptical when everyone kept telling me it was hard work - how hard can it be to drop balls of dough into hot oil? - but it turns out that it is really a lot of work. In the beginning, I kept burning them on the outside but not cooking them enough on the inside. After playing a little with the temperature of the stove, I finally produced a Sufganiya that was actually evenly cooked! It was very exciting (and also very unhealthy as I ate a lot of the burnt ones on the way to making the good ones). I served them at Playcafé, and, while they were definitely not the best Sufganiot in the world, they were definitely edible, even good. With a little practice, in a few years (because let's face it, I'm not doing all that hard work if it isn't Hanukkah) they should be great!
Even though we are in Germany, and in different parts of Germany at that, Sarah and I decided to get together to celebrate Thanksgiving and to invite a few close friends to experience this American holiday with us.
We made chicken with celery mushroom walnut stuffing and with potatoes (and of course just stuffing alone for me and the other vegetarian), green beans with walnuts, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, garlic mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, roasted chestnuts, and pumpkin pie with lactose-free whipped cream. Our friends were kind enough to provide a Greek salad and a few bottles of wine. This was a 24-hour cooking event, people - I started cooking the evening before and the next day when I went to work Sarah was at my place to continue the cooking. Every second was worth it - by the end of the dinner, I was so full that I was in pain.
I also had a bit of arts and crafts fun with those hand-turkey-things they used to have us make in lower school and a few paper feathers and other such decorations. I thought Martha Stewart would have been proud. Nice decorations, good food, good company, a job I find interesting and a life in Berlin - no lack of things to be thankful for this year!
On Thursday, we had our usual Playcafé at Bambinim, where we offered our space, an activity, and a warm environment as a sort of indoor playground for our families. As usual, I was in charge of the baked goods. But this Thursday was also a special occasion – Bambinim is going to be part of Limmud Day Berlin this year, as it has been for the past few years, offering programming for small children so that their parents can participate in Limmud Day themselves. On Thursday, Flora invited a group of volunteers to help us brainstorm what sort of activities we would be offering next weekend. It was a great group – some parents, some educators and people involved in Bambinim in various capacities, and some young Jews living in Berlin who Flora thought might like to be involved. One was even a JSC Fellow from a few years back! The brainstorming session was very productive – we used the time to think about how to transmit this year's theme, volunteerism in Judaism, to different age groups. We had some really great ideas and I'm excited to see them develop and become concrete over the next week and a half.
For the special occasion of this meeting, I was excited to try to bake something new, something that was a little challenging for me. I decided to try to make Lemon Squares à la Williams Sonoma. I wasn't disheartened when I ruined the first batch (overcooked), but when the second came out with a terribly goopy consistency so as to be nearly inedible, I despaired. However, I was also busy trying to help set up the room for our different events, so I left them there in the pan.
Luckily, one of the Bambinim moms who was coming to help brainstorm for Limmud Day was bringing a chocolate pear tart with her. I had a slice and it was really delicious – she totally saved the day and the tart was all but gone by the evening's end.
But lo and behold, when I got back to the kitchen to clean up the mess I had made of the lemon squares, I found that as they cooled their consistency also improved. They were not merely edible but indeed quite good (if I do say so myself). Turns out that all I needed was a little bit of patience. Instead of feeling bad so soon about having failed at the same thing twice in a row, I ought to have trusted in time a little more, but I was so impatient to try my handiwork that I didn't want to wait. Now not only do I know how to make lemon squares, I've also learned that I should try to have a little patience in baking. (It's too cheesy if I say patience in life, too, right?)
Before my mother left, she made me some pastry dough for savory tarts, lest I starve out here in the wilds of Berlin. So on Tuesday night, I decided to use that dough to make her mozzarella and tomato tart. This tart has been present at many of our Shabbat and Holiday dinners and my family and a certain group of 10 children (well, we're mostly grown up now - hello, I miss you!) can attest to its deliciousness.
Tarta de tomate for dinner, partly prepared by my mother, and a little bit of Neil Young while I cooked – who could ask for anything more?
That is both a line from Game of Thrones and the truth. Winter IS coming, people. It was dark at like 5 pm today. And Game of Thrones is an excellent book - I'm reading the second book in the series now, and I'm really enjoying. I'm not very far in, so further update once I have something more to say about it.
Anyway, this morning was my first morning alone after my mother left - sitting in such a quiet apartment felt so strange! I decided to be productive and make Earl Grey Scones - they came out delicious and now I have to give many scones to all of my friends so that I won't eat them all by myself (and believe me, that's a really easy accomplishment for me).
Afterwards, I met a friend for brunch and indulged in a "New York Bagel" with lox and "cream cheese." Afterwards, we met a couple of friends in Kreuzberg and then walked to the former Tempelhof Airport, which is now a park. The airport has an interesting history - built in 1927, it was in use during WWII and was later used by the US military during the Berlin Airlift. After the airport was shut down, the city turned the huge field into a park. It was pretty full, even on a cold day like today. When we first walked in, we stumbled upon "Mini Art Golf," which was mini-golf on interesting structures, and then took a walk. Even though there were people everywhere, it seemed like a haven of space inside a fairly condensed city.
When I got on the bus at around 4:30, it was already getting dark. By the time I got home, I could have sworn it was 6 or 7 (it was maybe 5). When I got off the bus, I saw that there was a Christmas Tree set up on a nearby street as well as a Glühwein stand and that the neighborhood stores were already starting to change their window displays for the holidays. I can't believe it's almost that time of year already!
When I was accepted for the JSC a few months ago, little did I suspect that baking would be among the many skills I would develop during my year in Germany.
Once a week at Bambinim, we invite our families to our space for free play and socializing - kind of like an indoor playground which provides arts & crafts, coffee, and (hence the development of my baking skills) homemade baked goods. Today for Playcafé, I made an orange cake (thank you, Williams-Sonoma) and even had enough batter left over to make little cupcakes! Definitely delicious - I even took a few home in a jar to share with friends!

MIAMI — Florida health centers are getting more than $13 million from the federal government to improve access to primary care.
Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell said Friday that 48 health centers across the state would receive the grant money. The funds will allow health centers to hire an estimated 215 additional staff, expand clinic hours and add new services including oral health, mental and behavioral health, pharmacy, and vision.
The money is expected to help health centers reach an estimated 69,144 new patients in Florida.
As more Americans get insurance under the Affordable Care Act, health centers are a popular location for services, especially primary care.
Florida has a severe shortage of doctors. The state estimates it would take at least 753 primary care physicians to eliminate the shortages.

Departmental Interior Design Competition Winners
The Corcoran's interior design department is proud to announce the winners of the 2012 Departmental Interior Design Competition. Congratulations to Sandra Fine and Cara Sheridan, both Master of Arts in Interior Design candidates, for their winning submissions!
Earlier this fall, the department of interior design teamed up with Interface flooring to offer a design-based and research-based competition open to all interior design students. The grand prize was a trip to Georgia for two students to visit Interface and learn about their products, manufacturing, and innovations. The winners will be traveling on November 18 and 19, 2012 and staying in the mid-century Pine Top lodge with catered meals by the in-house chef.
Students had the option to choose between a research based paper and a design competition and the Interior Design Department was thrilled to have more than 40 entries for this competition. The competition was juried by Brooke Traeger, associate chair of interior design, Jonathan Healey, interior design faculty, Mathilda Cox, interior design adjunct faculty, and Lisa Buchanan, account executive for Interface Flooring.
Special thanks to Carlee Cardwell, interior design advisor and Jessica Clear, adjunct instructor, for creating the partnership with Interface, and overseeing the design competition, that led to this wonderful collaboration.

High school coaches covet players who are versatile. But Marriotts Ridge coach Robin Grey says she got more than just a player who can plug a gap when Morgan Crable first pulled on a Mustangs soccer jersey four seasons ago.
"Morgan is unselfish and incredibly skilled, but her versatility is what makes her a blue-chip player and sets her apart from the rest of the pack," Grey said. "Her style of play is one of a perfect blend of power, finesse and smart play. Her presence on the field is undeniable."
More important, perhaps, she "plays at an elite level" no matter where she is on the field, Grey said. "This cannot be said of all players."
Crable, who usually starts at midfield but has played everywhere except in the net in her varsity career, can now add another achievement to her resume. She is the Howard County Times/Columbia Flier Player of the Year.
She was "a powerhouse and my triple threat," Grey said. Up top, "Morgan is our playmaker — an explosive, offensive power who has no problem exploiting the backfield and taking keepers one-on-one. When she is in the midfield, she is essential to our transition game. A natural defender, she is probably most comfortable in the back. Her ability to read an opponent is uncanny."
Crable registered at least one point in nine of the Mustangs' 14 games. She put in the game-winning goal in three games and twice assisted on game-winners, including the deciding goal in the Class 2A regional quarterfinal. "Reflecting back, Morgan probably had a hand in almost every goal we had this season," Grey said.
Crable started her soccer career as a striker. "Then one day somebody was missing" and her club team coach needed an outside defender, Crable said. That was in 2010, and defense soon became her position of choice on her club team. "I haven't moved since."
But Marriotts Ridge, saddled with injuries, had other voids to fill. In a two-game span, for example, Grey lost seven starters. "We were missing people. I moved everywhere. I enjoy playing anywhere on the field," Crable said. "I guess I had a good sense of where to play to make our team effective."
Grey said that particularly this year, Crable "gave confidence" to her teammates. "They feed off her. They ask for advice. She's a leader."
Crable said that "being able to play so many positions and still have people look up to me when I was on the field" is a highlight of her career.
Crable plays for the U-17 Freestate team that finished third in the national tournament two years ago, and she had many college suitors but the first one she visited won out. "I visited so many places but I kept coming back to Loyola." She says she'll feel comfortable there. Crable played for Greyhounds coach Katherine Vittori as an 8-year-old.
"Loyola could not have gotten a better gift," Grey said. "She's the most humble kid I've met. She plays so hard, but is the first to come off the field and be humble and gracious. It's refreshing. In a coach's career few come across like she does. Very few make an impact like she has made."
Marriotts Ridge entered the new season with high expectations, and even with all the injuries, the Mustangs advanced to the regional semifinal game against Long Reach. If not for the injuries, "we could have gone so much farther, but I wouldn't change anything. Everything was a learning experience," Crable said. "We had a young team but we stepped up and proved something to people who didn't think we would go as far as we did. We all grew as people."
Named to the all-county first team are:
Kristen Fawole, Long Reach. A four-year starter, Fawole used her lightning-fast speed to score a school-record 45 career goals, including 17 this fall. She also had 11 assists as a senior to lead Long Reach to its best season. "She used her speed to tenaciously press defenders," coach Erik Sandersen said. "She was always a threat to break away from the defense … to create a scoring opportunity."
Fawole set the tone with two unassisted goals in the county opener against Glenelg and got a breakaway goal to put Long Reach up, 1-0, in the regional semifinals against Marriotts Ridge. That last high school goal "gave the team a burst of confidence" and propelled it into the state semifinals for the first time in the school's history.
Alex Hamer, River Hill. Hamer, a repeat first-team pick, finished with 10 goals and 14 assists. "Once again she led the team in assists," coach Brian Song said. "She has knack for finding people in the right place. Alex is very unselfish and a great teammate." More often than not, Sheridan Street was on the receiving end of a Hamer setup.
Hamer has 26 assists in two years. Her long runs down the sideline were always a threat. "She has outstanding speed and she is a workhorse," Song added.
Katrina Macadoff, Atholton. With 11 goals and nine assists, Macadoff was almost always involved in the Raiders' offense. "We really relied on her as our offensive threat, both by scoring goals and with assists," said Stephanie Stoutenborough. "She is quick and powerful when she goes to goal. But she also can draw the defender in and lay the ball off to a teammate. Katrina is the type of player that makes things happen; she doesn't just sit up top and cherry pick."

Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: March 8, 2010
Publication Date: N/A
Technical Abstract: The synthesis and characterization of an artificial ion channel containing both fluorescent and redox-active centers is described. fluorescence spectroscopy was used to study qualitative and quantitative aspects of the coordination of alkali metal cations and black lipid membrane studies were used to monitor ion transport by the artifical channel. A modest level of ion selectivity was recorded and chemical oxidation of the in-situ channel abolished ion transport.

Problems with views...
ok, i created a view in the webgui and when i click on the link, i get the desired data like below
the problem is when i eneter i only want to get all docs where key is for example "4.5" i get nothing,
i tried it as key, start end end key so i am not sure what i am missing
{"id":"pic_2d6d865eeff65165e836c7d8e2cc48f7","key":null,"value":["json","4"," picture","source "]},
{"id":"pic_60067e60ddef4373189f8eda7bdb9fd7","key":null,"value":["json","4"," picture","source "]},
{"id":"pic_8c4460e7c7db08cd90256a8241772dec","key":null,"value":["json","4"," picture","source "]},
{"id":"pic_e3c81778bbd64380e725755ee63850e8","key":null,"value":["json","4"," picture","source "]},
{"id":"pic_QADMXFGTYHjkPlUjbNTDG","key":["a new folder","test"],"value":["json","1","",""]},
{"id":"pic_6ad0039891ff1548760162107cf8bb99","key":["TEMP"],"value":["json","4"," picture","source "]}
I think it would be more helpful if you could:
1) Show us a query, and its output, done with curl for e.g., without any filtering, so that we can see all its content (unless it's too big)
2) Show us the query, and its results (again, with curl for e.g) with the filtering you're trying to do
Assuming what you pasted is the whole view content, querying with ?key="4.5" should return indeed an empty response (but not with ?key=["4.5"]).
Ok, adding the [] arround like key seems to fix the problem partialy and i get a single record back.
My Test Data has a key Field which is an Array and i have 2 docs i should be getting returned
for some reason it only returns the one with key":["4.5"]
what do i need to do to get it to return any record where the key has key "4.5"
For that case use ?startkey=["4.5"], it should return those 2 rows.
(see http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-manual-2.0/couchbase-views-writi...)
However this is specific for this particular case. Something like what you say "any record where key contains "4.5"" doesn't quite match how mapreduce queries/views work in Couchbase (and Apache CouchDB). Take a look at the documentation to learn more:

Desmond and Jaguar parallel jobs fail when sent to an LSF queueing system. What can I do?
MPI parallel jobs may fail when using the LSF queuing system, giving an error in the log file similar to:
installation/mmshare-v19103/lib/Linux-x86_64/openmpi/bin/orterun: symbol lookup error: installation/mmshare-v19103/lib/Linux-x86_64/openmpi/lib/openmpi/mca_plm_lsf.so: undefined symbol: lsb_init
This failure is due to a bug in OpenMPI that causes problems for tight integration with LSF.This problem has been fixed in Suite 2010, with a patch to the version of Open MPI in the Schrödinger software distribution. If you are using another version of Open MPI and would like to recompile it with the patch included, send email to email@example.com.
Otherwise, the simplest workaround is to disable the tight integration with the LSF queue. Your jobs should still run, but it will be harder for LSF to clean up certain types of job failures (which should be rare).
To disable the tight integration, move these files
mca_ess_lsf.la mca_ess_lsf.so mca_plm_lsf.la mca_plm_lsf.so mca_ras_lsf.la mca_ras_lsf.so
out of the following directories:
Without the tight integration, OpenMPI uses passwordless ssh to start processes. You must therefore configure passwordless ssh between execution nodes in the cluster, for all users of Schrödinger software.

Headlining a show in Nashville for the first time is a scary prospect for any country artist, and Kip Moore will jump that hurdle with his Friday night show at Music City's Marathon Music Works. He doesn't have to worry about playing to an empty room though. The show has been sold out for weeks now.
The venue holds roughly 1,700 people, and Kip says, "We were kind of discussing what venue to tackle in town, you know, what was big enough, what was small. What was safe."
While a lot of Nashville shows are filled with jaded music industry types in the crowd, Kip know this audience will be full of fans.
"It's gonna be people that know the record and are anxious to see a show," Kip explains. "So, I'm jacked. I mean, I'm ready."
Kip's label mate Jon Pardi is set to open Friday night's show.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Playboy magazine rates UW-Madison as the nation's second-best party school.
The magazine has issued eight rankings in recent years, and the UW was ranked the country's hottest party campus as recently as 2006.
This time, the UW trails only West Virginia's main campus at Morgantown.
A few weeks ago, the Princeton Review placed the UW back on its Top 10 list of party schools at Number 8, down from 13th a year ago.
This is not welcome news for university and city officials, who've worked together to try and snuff out problems with alcohol on the state's flagship public campus.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Phillie Great refrigerator Love the look and size of this refrigerator. The compartments in the door are a bit narrow, but that is because of the ice maker in the door. Since there is so much space in the fridge itself, no complaints. Works great. September 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stephanie7 I love this refrigerator The compressor on our 6yr old fridge died so we needed to find a new fridge fast. I spent time researching the options and LG had the best reviews overall. We have a water filter system in our home so I didn't really want the ice/water in the door, but due to the immediate need we had to go with it. I miss the extra space in the door for bottles and jars, but I kept the door bins from the old fridge and use those to store the bottles and jars in. I have found I do like the dual ice makers. With a family of 8 we use a lot of ice. I like the lighting, the outside surface cleans up well, the shelves are easy to adjust and everything seems colder. I would highly recommend this product. September 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ipswichbay Having Dual Ice Makers Really Rocks I love the ice makers and that's what sold me, but could really have used more flexibility in the shelving. Would like to purchase a couple of the fold back shelves to make everything easier. Had a problem with a drawer in the warranty period and LG was good about swapping it out. Got a new one shipped right away. The long drawer can hold a party platter! Very nice. I get to share ice with neighbors, load a cooler, let the grandkids get their own ice and water. Lots of good stuff. September 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 1mike4128 Great Product (so far) Only owned for 6 weeks but absolutely would recommend this to anyone! The freshness of the veggies is amazing, the dual icemakers are perfect for entertaining and the ease of use of the controls are a breath of fresh air in this tech world. We always keep cut celery in the crisper and the old fridge they would be a little slimy after about 6 days. This refer keeps them fresh for over two weeks, amazing! No more wasting of food and that means no wasted money. I like that! Another great feature is the quiet operation and of course it is very beautiful in our newly remodeled kitchen! A little too early to talk about longevity but I feel confident just based on the quality feel of the handles and finish that we will be living with this fridge for many years to come! Highly recommended! September 2, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bozeman Love my LG French Door Refrigerator The french door design is great, and we love the duel ice makers. Also, the filtered water tastes wonderful! Great product and it looks great in the home. August 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gunnar Wish we hadn't purchased this. Ice makers. Last summer they worked great. Earlier this year they worked great. Now? :-((( It no longer can supply an adequate amount of ice for the two of us. The in the door maker often works not at all. I have to play with the off/on switch to get it to work even a bit. The bottom maker has no more than a tray of ice. The top ice maker has given us trouble for many months. There could be ice in the storage box, but none would be dispensed. The chute would be open, but the "auger" would not dispenses ice. Five stars for the rest of the refrigerator. Does a great job I wish we hadn't let the salesman talk us into this product, and no, I'll not recommend this refrigerator to anyone. August 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marly Awesome Frig I have had my new refrigerator almost 2 months now and I just love it. I went from a side by side to the French door and it holds so much more than I expected because of the design. The unit runs so quiet I thought it was not functioning when I first purchased. The dual icemaker is wonderful with a family of 7 we don't run out of ice anymore. The alarm is a great reminder for the kids. The only thing I am struggling with is large size condiment bottles that wont fit in the narrow shelves on the left door (like large ketchup and A1 bottles). They will only fit on the main shelf unless I remove a shelf and I don't want to do that. Outside of that which I consider a minor issue it allows me to be well organized and has great lighting.

Fading to Nothing Bucks 106 Nets 95
Category: Recaps
The Bucks won. Hooray. Bigger news: they're one loss or Sixers win away from officially being knocked out of the playoffs. So let's be realistic – the season is over.
There's been some talk on this blog about whether or not it was all worth it. Whether the season was just a waste and whether the last ten seasons were all also a giant waste. There's a strong argument to be made for tanking: better chance at a franchise player which will lead to more wins and more money and more relevancy. It's a smart move. It's much smarter than scratching and clawing just to stay in place.
When Clayton Bennett bought the Sonics, he blew the team up. The Maloofs right now are leading a fun little tank job as part of the debacle going on in Sacramento. The guide to relocating a sports team is right out of the Major League script: blow up the team, drive attendance as low as possible, cry about revenue then run out of town as fast as possible.
I'm happy they fought this season and I'm happy they fought every other season too (the 2006-07 season not included). And I'll support them if they continue to fight because it means ownership still cares about Milwaukee and they're still committed to making it work.
This doesn't mean much right now because Herb Kohl would keep the team in Wisconsin no matter what. He is selling soon though. When he sells, if the new owners blows everything up and starts tanking, it won't necessarily be the signs of a smart, new ownership, it could be a sign of something far worse than mediocrity.
Game Notes
- Bucks scored 53 points in the first half without hitting a single shot outside of 10 feet. There are degrees of nuance in judging defense, but if you want a really simple yes/no answer to whether or not a team plays good defense, look at how they perform against the Bucks. The Bucks offense right now is just a pretty simple motion offense full of offball movement. Good defenses pay attention to guys moving without the ball. Bad defenses like the Nets are completely flabbergasted by the idea of someone moving without the ball. The Bucks fed off cuts to the basket and fast breaks in the first half.
- Despite the first half dominance, the game was still in jeopardy with two minutes left in the game until Brandon Jennings started raining daggers to put the game away. A big 30 point game from him would have garnered an A grade if I decided to do grades. Monta Ellis would have received a D+ with his atrocious shooting performance. The two inefficient shooters seem to exist on separate islands from the rest of the offense and the distance might be too great for them to traverse back to the team. Due to time constraints caused by the lockout(lack of practice, lack of training camp) and the Bogut/Ellis trade, it's pretty clear that the new Bucks offense isn't quite complete.
- Ersan Ilyasova had 17 rebounds tonight. He is an unrestricted free agent this summer. The Bucks will never rebound again.

Tanking doesn't guarantee anything, and whatever happened to pride and/or professionalism? Or how about the fact that these guys are making millions of dollars and the fans deserve better? no less than 100%
This team has been mismanaged for so long I can't see straight.. used to like Hammond, now realizing he was overrated.. the second man to Joe Dumars.. OOOh.. how is Joe D doing as a GM right now? Charlie Villanueva and Austin Daye think he is doing just fine.. The draft is part of building a team, but so are transactions (free agency and trades for the novice). We have traded for Richard jefferson, Corey Maggete, and Stephen Jackson.. none are winners.. none buy into particular systems.. all have been helped by the talent around them.. Just wondering how any of those transactions was going to help this team long term.
Tanking is the Dumbest thing to even suggest if you are trying to keep a franchise viable or relevant.. Don't think for even one minute that Seattle or San Diego wouldn't take this team as is. And let's examine tanking for a minute. What are you really guaranteed? I really like Bradley Beal and Davis in this draft, but outside of those two guys who is a franchise player? Not a knock on all the players in this draft because there is obviously unrealized talent in every draft, but are gonna tank at the hope of getting Harrison Barnes or Jared Sullinger? Or how about those teams that got the #1 pick? How many wins have Bogut, Oden, or Andre Bargnani returned on the investment? You just have to do your the job you are payed to do and identify the best talent available.. Or if there isn't talent available trade back or out to secure players or future draft picks.
I do feel bad for the Bucks because of their draw as a free agent destination, but that just means the guys we get want to be here( e.g. Mike Dunleavy).. And I only want guys on my team that want to be on my team
@JustinNixon Agreed! For a shortened intense season, things really turned out okay. It started with our franchise center leaving for Australia the first day of our West Coast trip…then concussion…then broken foot. LRMBM & Dunleavy injured. That was a frustrating slow start, but they pushed all the way through to a playoff bid. SJax was toxic and BJ acted like the 22 yr old that he is after the all star break, but Jennings came around. Otherwise, these guys kept working together and raised this team to respectable levels in most categories. They gave us the best offense we've seen in years and some pretty exciting games. They beat Miami, and hung in there with some pretty formidable opponents. For an overall smaller team than most, they played with a lot of grit. Jennings & Ersan have had their best seasons. This group of men is more a "team" than most in the NBA, and these guys are fighting to get into the playoffs in the last week of the season. They didn't BLOW a lottery pick, they gave us a viable group of players that I'm looking forward to seeing again next year.
@JustinNixon Just for your first paragraph, it seems like there's a general misunderstanding of how tanking works. The players don't tank. The front office tanks. They put below-average talent on the court. Every player always give 100% and a lot of the time players on tanking teams are trying the hardest because they're D-leaguers that want to prove they belong in the NBA.
I admit, I stinks to see the Bucks as such a "middle-of-the-road" team in all my years as a fan. Although, I can say that I'd rather have the team here, than have no team at all. I have faith that things will turn around for this franchise. I believe that Tobias Harris and Jon Leuer were solid draft picks and I think that they have some interesting potential. I feel like that draft was a step forward for the organization and hopefully they continue that with a nice draft this offseason. It's disheartening to know that Milwaukee won't lure in the big-time free agents, but on the flip-side it's refreshing to see a player like Mike Dunleavy who really wants to be in Milwaukee and wants to be a solid contributor. Overall, I enjoyed watching the Bucks this season through all their ups and downs and I especially love listening to Jim Paschke and Jon McGlocklin's commentary on FSN Wisconsin during the games. This offseason will be an interesting one, especially with the draft and free agency of Ersan Ilyasova.
@TrevorTetzlaff Of all the typo's did it have to be "I admit, I stinks" ? I feel your pain.
Bucks are very lucky that Sacramento's deal fell thru getting a new arena because otherwise they are next on the list of NBA franchises that will relocate. Bucks need a new arena, yet why buy a new arena if there isn't a good enough product to support the arena? It's a catch 22 that my guess will inevitably lead to the Milwaukee Bucks becoming the Kansas City (insert name here)

"It is not a city at all. It is ridiculous to think of itself as a city. It is simply a rather large village, set in the middle of some forest and some lakes. You wonder what it thinks it is doing there, looking so important."
Ingmar Bergman
Without a shadow of a doubt, Stockholm is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Built on no fewer than fourteen islands, where the fresh water of Lake Mälaren meets the brackish Baltic Sea, clean air and open space are in plentiful supply here. One-third of the area within the city limits is made up of water, while another third comprises parks and woodlands. As a result, the capital is one of Europe's saner cities and a delightful place in which to spend time.
Broad boulevards lined with elegant buildings are reflected in the deep blue water, and rows of painted wooden houseboats bob gently alongside the cobbled waterfront. Yet Stockholm is also a hi-tech metropolis, with futuristic skyscrapers and a bustling commercial heart.
For most visitors, the first stop is the Old Town, Gamla Stan, a medieval jumble of cobbled streets and narrow alleyways huddled together on a triangular-shaped island. Today the area is an atmospheric mixture of buildings surrounded on all sides by a latticework of medieval lanes and alleyways. Close by is the tiny island of Skeppsholmen; conveniently, the island is also the site of the two most central youth hostels. To the north of the Old Town, the district of Norrmalm swaps tradition for a thoroughly contemporary feel: this is downtown Stockholm where you'll find shopping malls, huge department stores and conspicuous, showy wealth. Central Station and the lively central park, Kungsträdgården, are located here too. Most of Stockholm's museums and galleries are spread across this area and two others: to the east, the more residential Östermalm, with its mix of grand avenues and smart houses; and to the southeast, the green park island of Djurgården. Here the extraordinary seventeenth-century warship, Vasa, rescued and preserved after sinking in Stockholm harbour, and Skansen, the oldest and best of Europe's open-air museums, both receive loud and deserved acclaim. The island of Södermalm was traditionally the working-class area of Stockholm, whose grids of streets lined with lofty stone buildings create an altogether more homely ambience than the grand and formal buildings of the city centre. It's here, in a fashionable area known as SoFo (south of Folkungagatan) that you'll find some of the city's most enjoyable bars and restaurants. Crossing the narrow neighbouring island of Långholmen, known for its popular beaches, you'll reach Kungsholmen, an island that's fast becoming a rival to its southern neighbour for trendy restaurants and drinking establishments.
Brief history
Swedish stateman Birger Jarl founded Stockholm in 1255 in an attempt to secure the burgeoning city of Sigtuna from maritime attack. However, it was vibrant trade with other towns of the Hanseatic League, such as Hamburg, that helped give Stockholm, rather than Sigtuna, its prominent position within the Swedish realm during the fourteen and fifteenth centuries. Following the breakup of the Kalmar Union with Denmark, Swedish king Gustav Vasa established royal power in Stockholm, enabling the city to grow into the capital of one of Europe's major powers by the seventeenth century. Military defeat by Russia in the Great Northern War (1700–21) put paid to Swedish territorial expansion in northern and eastern Europe, and, instead, Stockholm developed politically and culturally at the centre of a smaller Swedish state.
By the nineteenth century, Stockholm was still essentially rural with country lanes, great orchards, grazing cows and even windmills in the centre of the city; the downside was the lack of pavements (until the 1840s) or piped water supply (until 1858), and the presence of open sewers, squalid streets and crowded slums. Having escaped bomb damage during World War II thanks to Swedish neutrality, the mid-twentieth century ushered in a huge modernization programme as part of the Social Democratic out-with-the-old-and-in-with-the-new policy: Sweden, and particularly the capital, Stockholm, was to become a place fit for working people to live. Old areas were torn down as "a thousand homes for a thousand Swedes" – as the project had it – were constructed. Today, Stockholm is a bright and elegant place, and with its great expanses of open water right in the centre, it offers a spectacular city panorama unparalleled anywhere in Europe.Read More

Sweden's Fab Four: ABBA
Sweden's Fab Four: ABBA
Overturning odds of 20–1, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvæus and Agnetha Fältskog first came to the world's attention as they stormed to victory in April 1974 at the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo. ABBA went on to become the biggest-selling group in the world, topping the charts for a decade with hits like Dancing Queen (performed to celebrate the marriage of Swedish King Carl Gustaf to German commoner Silvia Sommerlath in 1976), Mamma Mia and Money Money Money, and became second only to Volvo as Sweden's biggest export earner. The winning combination led to a string of number-one hits and even a film, ABBA – The Movie, released to popular acclaim in 1978.
However, the relentless workload of recording and touring took its toll; frictions within the group surfaced and the two couples – Agnetha and Björn, and Anni-Frid and Benny – divorced and ABBA called it a day in 1983. News of the split was broken by the Swedish newspaper, Dagens Nyheter – Agnetha had casually dropped the bombshell into a conversation and to this day carries the blame for the break-up. Having withdrawn from public life, she now lives as a virtual recluse on the island of Ekerö in Lake Mälaren. Anni-Frid, on the other hand, married a German prince, lives in Switzerland and spends her time championing environmental causes. After a spell in Henley-on-Thames, near London, during the 1980s, Björn is now back in Stockholm where he partly owns the domestic airline, Nextjet, and writes and produces music with Benny, who's now opened his own hotel on Södermalm, Rival. Together they've worked on a string of musicals including Chess and Mamma Mia, which uses 27 ABBA songs to tell the tale of the relationship between a mother and her daughter.

ICN has been responding for the last decade to the needs identified by member associations to change and improve the way nurses are prepared for management and leadership. It recognises that leadership is an essential component of modern management.
The whole environment of nursing and health services has been undergoing rapid change. Health reform is occurring in many parts of the world. This trend is accelerating. Organisations such as the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the World Bank and the World Health Organisation are focusing on health reform as this is often seen as part of a much wider process of social and political restructuring.
The relevance of health system reform to nursing is significant. Countries are trying to improve the health status of their populations and get the best value possible from the money that is spent on health care. Health needs are increasing at the same time as increasing financial constraints.
In most non-industrialized countries, nurses (often also midwives) are the only regular providers of health care in rural areas and low-income inner cities. Most rural and urban primary care is provided and managed by nurses. In other countries, nurses are key health providers in both hospital and community settings. Nurses plan services, allocate and manage resources, and contribute their knowledge of health and health needs to policy development and decisions.
For health reform to change health policies and reform institutions effectively, nurses need to be part of the reform process. Those who are or will be in key leadership and management positions need to be adequately prepared to help shape policy, work effectively in interdisciplinary teams, plan and manage effective and cost-efficient services, involve communities and key stakeholders in health care planning and delivery, and prepare other nurse managers and leaders for the future.
Experience suggests that health reform is developing at a rate that many nurses have been unaware of and/or are unprepared for.
Nurses must have a good understanding of the context and purpose of health reform, a vision of how health and nursing services may develop in their countries, the ability to plan strategically for and manage change, and the strength and confidence to be proactive and "up with the play" in a challenging and often stressful change environment.
This is often a major challenge because of the hierarchical education nurses may have received or because health structures have not supported nurses or women despite their major role in health care. Often nurses feel powerless and without the skills they need for the responsibilities they none-the-less carry.
In addition, nurses are often perceived as traditional and reactive, and not as leaders who could have an important contribution to broader health service policy development and management. Nurses' potential or confidence to operate in other ways is often not clear to themselves. The Leadership For Change™ global programmes aim to help change this situation.
Regional and national programmes are part of the broader ICN initiative on the preparation of nurses for leadership, focusing on the current climate of health reform. A key assumption is that specific management and leadership skills are best developed in relevant educational programmes at a country level. However, regional and national projects aim to assist this country level responsibility by working with leaders or potential leaders from different countries to:
- Develop their understanding of international health reform and its implications for nurse leaders and managers.
- Develop skills and strategies in management, leadership and policy development that will have an impact at a country and organisational level.
A key premise is that nurses must be prepared for management, leadership and policy positions not only in nursing, but in the broader health service. The accelerating scope and pace of health system reform gives this urgency.
LFC™ focuses on enhancing effectiveness in:
- Health planning and policy development.
- Leadership and management in nursing and health services.
- Developing quality cost effective nursing services.
- Preparing future managers and leaders, nurses and non-nurses.
- Sustaining development.
- Contributing within the broader health and management teams.
- Influencing curricula changes.
- Networking nationally, regionally and internationally.

From the depths of a fading DVD-by-mail business, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and company have transcended the movie rental market they helped to kill to take on television itself.
Beginning September 15, film and video fans in France can subscribe to Netflix. The US streaming service may struggle with brand awareness, though; two months ago, just 24% of internet users had heard of it.

If you're watching TV, it's probably not the only screen you're looking at. Most viewers nowadays are online on some device while they watch, a growing trend that advertisers and networks are trying to take advantage of.
Mattia Nicoletti's insight:
What is interesting in the HBO documentary the article is talking about is that the doc is focused on what I call micro contents, and on the second screen if you like you can get the macro contents, the background, the whole story.
This allows a different kind of storytelling for docs, because second screen contents are useful to give the whole missing details.

text: The Red Wings last night moved closer to clinching their 22nd straight playoff berth with a 5-to-2 win over the Nashville Predators at Joe Louis Arena. The victory pushed Detroit into seventh place in the Western Conference with room for 8 teams to advance to the postseason and they need one more point to make sure they don't hang up the skates after this weekend. The Red Wings have one more game, playing tomorrow night at Dallas, which was eliminated from playoff consideration with Detroit's win over the Predators. The Red Wings have a one point lead over both Columbus and Minnesota. Last night, Pavel Datsyuk posted a goal and two assists for Detroit while Johan Franzen registered a goal and an assist and Jimmy Howard made 20 saves in the win.
