Today's complex and rapidly changing health care environment demands exceptional doctoral-prepared nurses with the clinical, organizational and leadership skills to enhance nursing practice and improve patient outcomes.
Washburn's Doctor or Nursing Practice degree program offers a strong focus on entrepreneurship. It is the first DNP program in the United States to offer students enrollment in Master of Business Administration courses as part of the DNP curriculum. With a strong emphasis on entrepreneurship, the DNP graduate is able to blend advance practice knowledge and skills with strong fundamental practices.
Graduates of Washburn's DNP program will have the necessary skills to lead in a variety of health care positions, including:
Expert advanced practice nurses
Directors of clinical programs
Executives of health care organizations
Clinical faculty members
At a time of great change within the health care system, graduates of the Washburn DNP program will have the skills necessary to thrive in a rapid-paced health care environment.
Currently, masters prepared nurses are eligible for one of two DNP programs offered at Washburn University. The first program is for APRNs who are licensed in the State of Kansas and nationally certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner, Adult Nurse Practitioner, Adult/Gerontology Nurse Practitioner, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, or Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. This program requires 44 credit hours. Clinical hours are individually determined.
The second program is for masters prepared nurses who are not licensed as an APRN–NP in the State of Kansas. Students in this program may choose from the Family Nurse Practitioner or Adult/Gerontology track. This program is 65-71 credit requires depending on the specialty chosen. Both specialties require a minimum of 1000 clinical hours.
The BSN-DNP program is scheduled to begin Fall 2015.

Saturday Science Links: October 25, 2014

In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
A few months ago Zondervan published the anthology Four Views on the Historical Adam. This valuable new resource addresses one of the most common questions Christians have about evolution: how does the Adam of the Bible fit with the scientific and historical evidence about early humans?
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. "Off with his head!" she said, without even looking round

Gator basketball roundup: Ray Shipman transferring; Billy Donovan linked to Oregon; Walter Hodge ring for sale
- 9:54 am Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 by Post Staff
The Florida basketball team expects to return all five starters next year for another NCAA Tournament run, but sophomore reserve guard Ray Shipman will be transferring, the team has announced.
Shipman, the 2008 Florida Mr. Basketball from Monsignor Pace High, had been rumored to be leaving the Gators after averaging just 2.4 points and 1.7 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per game in his sophomore season.
"I appreciate the opportunity that the University of Florida gave me," Shipman said in a statement. "I want to thank Coach Donovan, the staff, and myteammates for the last two years and I wish the University of Florida the best in the future moving forward. I'm looking forward to making a decision to go somewhere with an opportunity for a bigger role."
Shipman, named the SEC basketball scholar athlete of the year this month with a 3.4 GPA in sport management, will not be sorely missed. He started just one game in two seasons at UF, and his departure will be softened by the addition of wingman Casey Prather, who has committed to the Gators for next season.
Shipman is free to transfer to any school in the country. A move closer to his Miramar home — either Miami, FAU or FIU — seems likely.
He becomes the fifth basketball player to transfer out of Florida in the last three seasons, joining Jonathan Mitchell (Rutgers), Jai Lucas (Texas), Eloy Vargas (Miami Dade College) and Allan Chaney (Virginia Tech).
"I have truly enjoyed coaching Ray the last two season," Billy Donovan said in a statement. "He's an outstanding person and a great student. I want to wish Ray the best of luck as he pursues the things that are important to him as a player and as a student."
Billy Donovan to Oregon?

text: The irony is that under obama's watch more Mexicans were deported than in any other administration. We need to remember, they really aren't latinos, what ever that means. A pseudo status invented to shield themselves by playing a fictitious race card. They are a nationality to be more precise, mexican or from what ever central or south american country they're from. Foreign nationals invading our country is the truest and most accurate identifier. Where is our military which according to the constitution is supposed to protect our borders from invasion? Every legislator and senator that voted for this obomanation [sic] is guilty of treason as far as I'm concerned.

16 weeks
Speaking of which, here's your 16 week picture, pervs.
In the interest of uniformity of variables I'm trying to take all such pics first thing in the morning, because due to the happy effects of progesterone (and smooth muscle relaxing properties thereof) the different between AM and PM is obviously not at all related to uterine distension but nonetheless enormous. Literally. The night bloats, am I right, ladies? It also does not help that I have only one pair of maternity pants left in my closet--unless you count scrubs, in which case I have a hundred pairs. Apologies, however, for that fact that this particular pair is weirdly baggy in the crotch and makes me look like I am sporting a monster dong. (They are from one of our outpatient orthopedic surgery centers, if that explains anything.)
Back to the subject of paranoia, my OB offered to take a look at gender parts tomorrow (they don't routinely do an ultrasound at 16 weeks but he is very nice and after exchanging the Secret Doctor Handshake he said that if we wanted he could do a quick peek as "a courtesy")
(There isn't really a secret doctor handshake)
(There is an encoded medallion that you hold up to the sun on the solstice, however, that shows you the location of the hidden tomb of Hippocrates)
...but really, I don't care if Thing 3 is a boy or a girl so long as s/he is healthy. I know everyone says that and it's true, but we all know that in medicine, especially those of us with a background in Pediatrics, have seen Very Bad Things and it seems like whenever you're trying not to worry about Bad Things, it's all you can think about. So here's to normal exams and good results, right? Of course the genitalia of the fetus is almost certainly one of the least important parts of an anatomic survey, but of course I am a good little monkey and always very CURIOUS.
Hope you had a good weekend and all that.

you crack me up, really...!
Health aside (& I don't mean that lightly), I think most of us would have a niggling little wish inside for a gender of the opposite sex after having two boys or two girls...
You are truly hilarious. The pants, the secret handshake and encoded medallion - water came out of my nose. Also, I am really thrilled that we happen to be pregnant at the same time.
I have been your loyal blog-reader since 2006, and I have a favor to ask you:
I am 15 weeks pregnant and a fourth year medical student, making my baby due....July of my intern year. I seem to remember you were in a similar position when Cal was born, having just switched programs. If you could lie to me and tell me that it will all be awesome, that would be great. Thank you!!!

ha! i am both an OB resident AND found out I was pregnant while on a NICU rotation. That is definitely the worst combination ever. I'm feeling the little avocado (apple, orange, whatever is equivalent to 17 weeks) move now, so that gives me some measure of reassurance; however, it's a daily battle to combat the anxiety and just enjoy the pregnancy.ReplyDelete
Also, amen on the bloat. I doubt the people who quizzically raise an eyebrow when comparing the size of my bump with the gestational age want to hear about the, ahem... GI changes associated with pregnancy.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – The $700,000 Hollywood Gold Cup and the $700,000 American Oaks anchor an $8-million stakes schedule for Hollywood Park's 65-day Spring/Summer Meet, which opens Wednesday, April 22.
The stakes schedule was revamped due to the sagging economy with the intent of protecting the overall quality of racing.
"We thought the best course of action was to do as much as we could for overnight purses," said Martin Panza, vice president of racing. "The deductions will help keep overnight purses at or near their 2008 levels."
The Hollywood Park stakes schedule, reduced by $1.5 million from 2008, will not include three graded races — the Jim Murray Memorial Handicap, the Hawthorne Handicap and the Will Rogers Stakes. In addition, the CashCall Mile will be run as the Royal Heroine Mile with a $250,000 purse, a $500,000 decrease.
"We're very pleased that CashCall, through owner Paul Reddam, was a sponsor and that they remain with us for the CashCall Futurity," Panza said. "We hope the CashCall Mile will be coming back to Hollywood Park in the future. We're very disappointed that it was not given Grade I status, a point that is hard to explain to our sponsor. It is unfortunate that Japanese Grade I winners are not taken into account by the graded stakes committee."
The eighth running of the American Oaks is scheduled for Sunday, July 5, along with the $300,000 Triple Bend Handicap. Both are Grade I events. The Hollywood Gold Cup, also a Grade I race, will be run for the 70th time on Saturday, July 11 — same day as the Grade II Royal Heroine Mile. While the Gold Cup and American Oaks remain the richest races on the calendar, they have each been cut by $50,000.
There are 49 races on the stakes schedule, including seven Grade I events. There are ten Grade II races and 11 Grade III races. There will be seven days with multiple stakes races, beginning with the $1.3-million Gold Rush X on Saturday, April 25. The $250,000 Snow Chief Stakes is the feature event on Gold Rush Day, but it has strong support in the $200,000 Melair and four $150,000 races — the TVG Khaled, Fran's Valentine, B. Thoughtful and Tiznow.
First Grade I race on the schedule is the $250,000-added Shoemaker Mile on Memorial Day — Monday, May 25. The Shoemaker, first run as the Premiere Handicap on Hollywood Park's inaugural opening day on June 10, 1938, will be contested for the 66th time.
The prestigious $300,000 Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap will be run on Saturday, June 6 — Belmont Day. The Grade I event will be accompanied by the Grade III, $100,000 Ack Ack Handicap and the $70,000-added Redondo Beach Stakes. The $250,000 Californian, last major stepping-stone to the Hollywood Gold Cup, will be run on Saturday, June 13. The Grade III, $100,000 Round Table Handicap will also be part of the program.
Hollywood Park's two major races for 2-year-olds will be run on the same day with the $100,000 Hollywood Juvenile Championship and $100,000 Landaluce scheduled for Sunday, July 12.
Closing weekend will feature the $300,000 Swaps Stakes and $150,000 A Gleam Handicap on Saturday, July 18, with the Sunset Handicap on Sunday, July 19. The deletion of the three graded races will be reviewed in 2010.
"For this year, only, they are discontinued," Panza said. "Under the guidelines of the graded stakes committee, as long as we run them again next year, we're allowed to keep the grades. It would probably be our intent to re-establish those races, but we will have to wait and see if the economy improves."

After BMC Racing Team's Martin Kohler figured in the day's breakaway at the Tour de Romandie, teammate Tejay van Garderen sprinted to fourth place in the bunch sprint that saw Cadel Evans (13th) and Steve Morabito (15th) also place in the top 15 Wednesday.
Kohler's Breakaway
Van Garderen's finish moved him into 15th overall, 15 seconds behind new leader Bradley Wiggins (Sky Pro Cycling), who won the stage after a flurry of attacks were launched in the final 20 kilometers of the 184.5 km race. The aggressiveness of the peloton spoiled Kohler's plan after he joined Kenny Dehaes (Lotto-Belisol), Angelo Tulik (Europcar) and Jimmy Engoulvent (Saur-Sojasun) in a breakaway that was only given five minutes of freedom. "I wanted to go for the King of the Mountains jersey, but they were really racing and after 130 km in the break I didn't have the legs to stay in the front," Kohler said. BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Rik Verbrugghe said van Garderen's performance was equally as impressive. "Tejay was really strong today and he also kept Cadel out of trouble, so everything was good today," he said.

UpendED interview series: Caroline Ballhorn of Tin Can Studio
"People responding to Tin Can Studio has never been an issue. People love trailers. People are so drawn to them. Even if they don't understand what you're doing in it, they're happy to be there. That's been a real amazing part of the project."
In a fortuitous state of affairs, I discovered the existence of Tin Can Studio by way of a random post in my Twitter feed. Following the link to an article from The Scout, I first saw the shiny silver 1971 Streamline Prince trailer that was in the process of hosting the second go-round of an underground food series called Eat Together.
Hot on the trailer…er…trail, I contacted co-founder Caroline Ballhorn, an artist and Vancouver resident, to quizzically ask her about the beautiful vehicle, and how it operates. Tin Can Studio is an enigma. It is neither an eat-in food truck, nor a pirate radio station, nor an artist's studio, nor a concert venue. It can be any one of those things at any given time, a malleable community center with a hitch.
Tin Can Studio can be followed right here on Tumblr. I highly suggest perusing their Flickr for beautiful shots of events that they've hosted thus far. If you're in the Vancouver area and desire to host an event in a mobile space, you're in luck. Tin Can Studio may be available to rent in the near future.
You started Tin Can Studio while a student in Fine Arts at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. How did the project come about?
Being in art school at the time, I noticed a disconnect between the art I was doing in school, which was largely conceptual, and my life outside of school which was meeting all these amazing, artsy people that were not formally trained.
Tin Can Studio came out of a desire to create a hub for people to connect and share their secret artistic lives. I got the idea for the project proceeding my final year in school.
I decided to do Tin Can Studio as my senior project, but I knew that I couldn't do it all by myself. My studio mate suggested that I talk to a design student at the school for assistance. I reached out to my friend Brodie Kitchen, who I'd only met briefly beforehand. I was like, "Hey you! You're in design, right?" I then told him my idea, that I wanted to make a mobile space that's both a project space and also a community hub. I also wanted the project to be something that I could continue after I graduated from art school.
Brody received a Millennium Scholarship a year or two before which had grant money associated with the scholarship for a community-based art project. He was like, "I'll do a quick write-up, we'll secure the grant money, and then we'll buy a trailer." I was like, okay. Here we go.
It became our full-time thing. In October 2009, we found the perfect Airstream trailer on Craigslist. Brodie was in industrial design and had trained as an electrician, so he was really qualified to do the stuff that I couldn't do.
We were dealing with the physicality of renovating a trailer in the school's parking lot while being full-time students and having jobs. During that time, we got to experience the program from different angles. We held music events in the beat-up shell of the trailer that we were renovating. We wanted it to be an active space while we were building it, and it became that for students and teachers. We had some teachers come out and sit there and tell us about what Emily Carr was like 15 years ago, that they had a mobile print mobile and how sad it was that things like that weren't happening anymore.
We graduated in spring 2010, having completed the build out on a shoestring budget using sourced materials and volunteers. For our grad show in May, we hosted 10 days of programming, sometimes two shows a day, including the shadow puppetry act "Mind of a Snail."
How do you monetize the project now?
It hasn't been profitable, but we're at a breakeven moment. Right now we're sitting on a little bit of money that we've saved from different events, including fundraisers. We're talking a small amount. I have maybe $500 that we're sort of like, "We could spend this on upgrading the electrical system, we could spend this on promotions, or we could take ourselves out for dinner!" Drawing on the resources of friends, we haven't had to go too much into the hole, but I feel like I've been on this precipice for the past year or so where I feel like either I need to invest a semi-significant amount of money in Tin Can Studio to get to a point where it would be easy to run.
What logistical challenges have you faced?
Right now, it's difficult to move it around because we don't have a dedicated vehicle, which means you can't park it on the street unless you pay for a parking spot or figure something else out. Luckily it's not been too bad. It was parked in front of my house, for example, and my neighborhood happens to be a creative hub. It's been able to operate there and have a decoy vehicle not even attached to it be parked in the front of it to avoid ticketing. The tickets that we have received we've managed to pay through crowdsourcing.
How has Tin Can Studio evolved since its inception?
Brodie's stepped away from the project. He's more involved now with other projects that he's doing. It's now run by me and Jenny Lee Craig. She's more of an administrator and an event planner.
I learned a lot of lessons last year running Tin Can Studio. Last year, we did a pirate radio station thing. We've been doing a lot of other elaborate, short projects with different artists that take a lot of planning, which are mostly just labors of love. I've come to the conclusion that that's not really sustainable. It doesn't make sense for me to be involved in 10 elaborate projects that aren't even my personal vision. To me, it's about figuring out what the balance of being involved in those projects is and then stepping away. I'd also like to allow the trailer to be rented out as long as I'm comfortable with what the content of the project is.
Our first project this summer was a repeat of the Eat Together events that we did last summer. Last summer, I was way more involved — I was a food runner, I was helping with prep. I was helping out how in the way that you would help out a friend. This time, I was hands off with it and it was really successful. They artist/chefs from Eat Together were also able to pay us a portion of the profits from the dinners.
Do you have the change the build out for every event, or is it just a matter of redecorating?
It's redecorating and sometimes adding or changing furniture. We had to build some tables for the Eat Together dinner party. The challenging part is securing a vehicle, trying to borrow one or figure something out without having to pay money, because renting one gets really expensive very quickly. You can do things for awhile without permits and without a business number. This is something we were unsure about the whole way, if this is actually a business. I think, coming out of art school context, we both wanted this to be an artist run center. But even an artist's center has a business model.
Do you see this as a for-profit business, or do you just want to break even? Do you envision this project becoming more expansive?
I would like it to, and I think I'm finally at a point in my life where I'm not afraid of that idea. I've never been afraid of having a business, but for some reason, this project has felt wrong for it to be driven by profit. Do I want it to make money? Of course. The question for me is if I want this to be my full-time gig. I'm not really sure because I do a lot of other things. Up until recently, I had a pretty heavy full-time job which I think also contributed to my burnout on the project. I'd be doing art with people with mental health problems and addictions, and then I'd come home and run this other project.
How do you figure out a budget with outside people who want to run projects in Tin Can Studio so that you're adequately compensated?
We haven't been. It's been mostly people that we know who come to us and we work together. In a really DIY way, we figure out how the event is going to happen, and how to do it in a way in which we're not going to lose money.
What is the mobile scene like in Vancouver?
With the proximity to Portland and the influence of Portland, I think there's more of an interest. Vancouver is a really weird place when you start getting into by-laws and into stuff that deals with legislation. It's one of the most legislated places I've ever encountered. You need a permit to go to a park and set up a tent for your family to have a picnic.
Just recently they've allowed food trucks to exist. It's basically a lottery system. It's like, "We're going to license 10 food trucks!" and then a bunch of people apply. I think it's just burgeoning in the stronghold of the city on what's permissible. I think the pressure is put on by the incredible cost of real estate. In terms of a "scene," there's a handful of food trucks. People like them, but they struggle, I know. I think because Vancouver is so rainy, when it rains people go home. There isn't too much of a street culture.
How does the seasonality of your location are affect your business?
When it's raining, it's hard to even engage with people because everybody's feeling it. The winters are very cold. In the winter, using Tin Can Studio as an open space works sort of, but you really need to have someone in there directing the activity, otherwise people aren't just going to go in. I did some experiments with just having a sign out that said "Come in, use the space" and observing from a distance to see if people would go in. People are too polite here and don't want to barge in and step on toes. I'm thinking that, in the wintertime, we should offer it as an artists' residency in conjunction with another space that has bathroom facilities and things of that nature.

Well, this is disturbing. "Incest Fest" will be held at the Kirkland Hall this year at Harvard University. What's incest fest? Exactly what it sounds like.
Incest-Fest is, essentially, a campus party where making out and hooking up with as many people as possible is the goal. It gets the "incest" name because the event is open only to residents of Kirkland house–one of Harvard's undergraduate residences. Thus, students who are living together (as if they were members of the same family, get it?? Incest? So funny, right?) are having sex with one another.

Victor Oladipo expected to play on Tuesday against Michigan State
Feb 18, 2013, 1:37 PM EDT
Victor Oladipo left Saturday's game with Purdue with a left ankle injury, calling into question his availability for Tuesday night's classic against Michigan State.
But according to Indiana head coach Tom Crean, Oladipo should be ready to go.
"We practiced some yesterday, and he went through that," Crean said. "I don't anticipate he won't be ready to go tomorrow night."
Oladipo has been a revelation this season. He's averaging 13.8 points, 5.8 boards and 2.3 steals while shooting 63.9% from the floor and 52.4% from three, but Oladipo has had a penchant for playing his best basketball in the biggest games. He had 26 points in Indiana's dismantling of Ohio State. He went for 21 in a win over Michigan State earlier this year.
He also happens to be Indiana's best on-ball defender, which will come in handy with the way that Keith Appling and Gary Harris have played of late.
With the Big Ten regular season title looking like it will come down to a race between IU and MSU, Oladipo's presence will be that much more important for the Hoosiers.
And for us.
Because that makes Tuesday's game just that much better.

After five years, Courtyard Marriott opens
SALISBURY — A crowd of dignitaries and business leaders turned out Wednesday to officially open the new Courtyard Marriott on East Innes Street.
The hotel project took more than five years from start to finish due to the recession and government red tape. The project's notorious delays helped force changes to the local permitting process.
"We are finally open," owner Bhupen Patel said.
Salisbury and Rowan County leaders welcomed Patel and his hotel development company, BPR Properties, and said the Courtyard Marriott will boost local tourism.

Romney, the former Massachusetts Governor, swept Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, solidifying his front-runner status. Farmers at the conference expressed admiration for Santorum and former U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich but said they viewed Romney as the inevitable winner.
"He's probably the last guy standing," said Gale Koelling of Illinois, who said he planned to vote for Romney. He said he likes Santorum but doubts the former Pennsylvania senator will last long past New Hampshire.
Santorum, Gingrich, Texas Governor Rick Perry and others hope a strong showing in the upcoming South Carolina primary will keep their candidacies alive.
Gingrich finished third in the farm survey, with 18.8 percent, followed by Perry with 9.3 percent and Representative Ron Paul with 6 percent.
Farmers in the survey also said they thought Republicans should control the U.S. Congress, although participants did not echo the anti-incumbent sentiment that has been talked about in the lead up to November.
About 77 percent of farmers said they think Republicans should control Congress. Fourteen percent said they did not know who should have power and 5 percent said they would prefer Democrats in Congress.
Republicans won power in the House of Representatives in a 2010 mid-term election strongly influenced by Tea Party activity and anger at Obama over the economy and health reform. The party now has set its sights on the U.S. Senate, which Democrats control by a narrow margin, in 2012.
"Republicans did a horrible job when they had control, but I think they're the lesser of two evils," said Mills, the Virginia farmer. "I think the entire spending structure of the government is going to have to be addressed."
The Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street movements, coupled with abysmally low approval ratings for Congress in 2011, have led experts to predict voters could throw incumbents out of office.
The failure of the deficit-reducing "supercommittee" and a stalemate on a payroll tax cut hurt voters' opinion of Congress.
Farmers in the survey did not support this prediction, with 56.1 percent of survey participants saying they plan to vote for their current representatives to return to Congress. Twenty-five percent said they would not vote for incumbents, and 19 percent did not know or did not respond to the question.
"I don't think, as a whole, politicians are doing that bad a job," said Shawn Harding of Chocowinity, N.C., even though he said he has never voted for his congressman, Democrat G.K. Butterfield, and will not vote for him in November.
"The American people think they can just go up there and snap their fingers and create jobs, and it just doesn't work like that," Harding said. (Reporting By Emily Stephenson; Editing by Bob Burgdorfer)

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 8, 2012)—The field was reduced to four Friday night in the $3,000 winner-take-all Show Me The Money –Presented by Golden Nugget Las Vegas – contest at Betfair Hollywood Park.
The free challenge, which began May 6 with 1,738 players, requires a participant to choose one horse each racing day – in six designated races – at least 10 minutes prior to the first race. The selected horse must finish first, second or third for a player to continue.
The last player standing will receive the cash prize along with a two-night VIP stay at the Golden Nugget Las Vegas.

"Mazzer Coffee Grinders; Setting the gold standard for coffee grinding…"
At the beginning of the 1950s, in the outskirts of Venice, Luigi Mazzer manufactured his first coffee grinder. Originally designed for light commercial applications, Mazzer put heavy-duty components into a small package, allowing it to also find a place in the home market. Their quality and precision has made Mazzer grinders the perfect compliment to any semi-automatic or prosumer espresso machine.
Mazzer is a certified member of the Italian Espresso National Institute (Istituto Nazionale Espresso Italiano).

In 1998, I published an article on Davis Knight's miscegenation trial in The Journal of Southern History (Vol. LXIV, No. 2, May 1998). Subsequently, I included his story in my book The Free State of Jones (2001). Davis, the great-grandson of Newt and Serena Knight, was also the great-grandson of Rachel Knight, a former slave of Newt's grandfather. Because of his slave ancestor, Davis was convicted in 1948 for having crossed the color line when he married Junie Lee Spradley, a white woman.
The case is significant because the Mississippi State Supreme Court remanded Davis's case in 1949 on grounds that the lower court did not prove that Davis had 1/8th or more African ancestry. Legally, regardless of custom, the "one drop rule" did not determine one's racial identity. Davis thus avoided going to prison for having married across the color line (a crime in several states until 1967). For the rest of his life, he lived as a white man.
It turned out, however, that the rest of Davis's life would be quite short, as was the marriage that he suffered to defend in court. Some years ago, Ken Welch of Soso, MS, provided me copies of Davis's divorce and death records. They show that in 1954, five years after his Supreme Court victory, Davis sued Junie Lee for divorce on grounds she had abandoned their home in 1951. The couple had no children, and Davis claimed that Junie Lee had given birth to another man's child during their separation. The marriage was officially dissolved on July 20, 1954.
Soon after, Davis moved to Channelview, Texas (near Houston), where in 1959 he would lose his life in a fishing accident. Before that tragic day, Davis married for a second time, to Evelyn (Evie) Wilburn, and worked as a painter's helper for Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation. When I interviewed Ethel Knight (author of Echo of the Black Horn) in 1992, she told me that Davis had abandoned Junie Lee for a rich, white, older woman who lived in Texas. If Davis's divorce testimony is to be believed, however, it was Junie Lee who left him. And while his new wife, Evie, was fourteen years older than him, and white, I have found no evidence that she was rich. Evie had been twice divorced, and had two sons, Joel G. Hill, age 31, and James W. McDonald, 24, who were closer in age than she to her new husband.
On the morning Davis Knight died, he had just embarked on a fishing trip at the Sheldon Reservoir with his stepson, Joel. According to Joel, he first waded and floated out to a small island where the two men intended to fish. Davis followed, carrying his fishing rod and wearing a life preserver. As he entered into deeper water, the preserver slipped upward and he was momentarily submerged, causing him to panic and thrash about. Several fisherman came to his aid, but by then Davis had been under the water for 3 to 5 minutes and could not be revived. An autopsy ruled his death an accidental drowning.
Davis's Texas death certificate described him as a 34-year-old white man. Although the Mississippi Supreme Court had granted him the same status, the "one drop rule" of race meant that most people who knew his roots would never accept him as white. So, like many kinfolk before him, Davis escaped the dangers and degradation of being labeled a "black" man by leaving the state. For him, that escape proved all too brief.
