With decentralisation high on the agenda in the UK, our report Delivering the decentralisation dividend sets out the potential prize of decentralisation - good growth, public service reform and public engagement - and the barriers to be overcome if local places are truly to deliver the decentralisation dividend.
Our Talking Points with the Smith Institute draws on interviews with 22 LEP leaders (mainly chairs and chief Executives) and a briefing event hosted at the LEP Annual Conference in March 2015 to explore 'where next' for Local Enterprise Partnerships.
The public sector is still under pressure and will be for the next few years. But there are practical changes that this government can make through the Spending Review process, and to its future operating model.
As we approach the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) under a new government, we explore the public's views on the purpose and value of our Armed Forces.
The 6th annual Low Carbon Economy Index (LCEI) tracks the rate that G20 countries are decarbonising their economies.
Higher education is facing a future that is challenging but also presents more opportunities for innovative organisations than ever before. Rather than being standalone academic institutions, universities will need to become ever more integrated into the economy, with real commercial awareness and relationship management capability, in order to thrive.
The skills system in the UK has been the subject of significant change over the last 10 years, with new funding agencies and policies, new qualifications and a greater focus on employers' needs. This Talking Points publication considers whether the current skills system is really working for its stakeholders and what changes could be made to its administration to make the UK skilled for the future.
Our third annual public transport ticketing survey focusses on understanding if perceptions of current and future public transport ticketing options, as well as the drivers and barriers to their adoption, are continuing to change.
This Demos and PwC collection of essays brings together a wide range of contributors to share their views on what might be meant by 'good jobs'.
The Good growth for Cities 2014 report presents and index measuring the economic wellbeing of our urban areas looking back to before the financial crisis. We argue the case for cities to look beyond GDP and Gross Value Added (GVA) – and for further powers for cities to determine their own priorities for economic success.
In this issue, we share the public's perspectives on reforming public services and dealing with the deficit, lifting living standards and delivering good growth and good jobs. We also explore the role of deliberative research in policy making, more widely.
IPPR's report 'The Decentralisation Decade', which we have supported, sets out the prospects and priorities for decentralisation in England over the next 10 years.
Who's to blame when public services go wrong? Who takes the credit when the economy picks up? Our Talking Points publication, Who's accountable now?, analyses who the UK public hold accountable for the economy and public services.
This new Talking Points publication from PwC and Demos explores what can be done to lift productivity and how the public sector can play its part.
The Local State We're In 2014 charts the progress councils have made in redefining what they do, how they do it, and the outlook for the future.
This publication, with UK think tank Demos, presents an index measuring the economic wellbeing of UK urban areas. We argue the case for cities to look beyond GDP and Gross Value Added (GVA) and give the public and business a key role in determining priorities for their local economic success.
Prolonged austerity is driving an important shift in local government, and this new landscape will require fundamentally different organisational cultures and behaviours to make it successful. This Talking Points argues that there is a need for a new framework that enables local authorities to make strategic choices leading to the redesign and development of new ways of working on the ground.
This PwC publication continues PSRC's research into the role of Finance in the public sector in the UK, examining the trends, issues and the changing environment faced by Finance Directors

Signs suggest that the UK economy is turning a corner and confidence is on the rise, but the stepping stones that lead to recovery require a different way of thinking
The current and growing financial and demand pressures the NHS is facing threaten to undermine its fundamental principles. Without deliberate and courageous action – by the public, providers, commissioners, regulators and politicians – the NHS as we know it may not exist in 2023. NHS@75 sets out the case for radical change in the health service over the next ten years.
This PwC publication finds that UK local authorities have once again successfully delivered against an ambitious programme of financial savings over the last year without impacting the quality or quantity of services. But the survey points to nervousness about meeting rising demands for services and protecting the frontline in future in the face of further public spending cuts.
Local authority decision makers in the UK are attempting to bridge a widening financial gap. Against this backdrop this report sets out the potential implications of future spending reviews out to 2018. The purpose is not to add more detail to an already fatalistic picture but to recommend new policies and approaches that can be applied to future fiscal challenges.
No government wants a provider of public services to fail. But as public services are opened up to more competitive pressures, it is likely that under performance will no longer be hidden and provider failure will then appear to occur more frequently.
Today's pressures will significantly impact on the way public services are delivered in future, whether by public sector organisations or by a mix of other providers. Here we examine how public sector organisations need to re-define their purpose and future ways of working by becoming more agile and managing demand more effectively.
The UK Government has committed to opening up public ervices to a diverse range of providers competing to offer a better service for users. But why is opening up public services to new providers such a priority? Does a new market for 'public service partnerships' exist yet? Here we discuss the implications for the partnership models needed to deliver public services.
This PwC publication from Sweden explains why e-services can be used by public administration individuals and institutions alike to dramatically improve society's capacity for development and innovative capacity.
PwC's practical guide to coping with the pressures of austerity, rising demand and public sector reform
This PwC publication discusses why creating an "agile" UK council model is critical to the current and future success of the organisation and looks at the environment councils are operating in and five steps to becoming an agile organisation.
A report from Centre for Cities, PwC and Sunderland City Council reveals that mid-sized cities have the potential to create more jobs if they can invest in reconfiguring their centres
As part of our contribution to the debate on improving the quality of care in the NHS, PwC commissioned BritainThinks to convene a Citizens' Jury. The Jurors were able to arrive at strong, well-considered and thoughtful recommendations with a real shift in perspective from personal consumers of healthcare services to citizen ambassadors for the nation.
An approach to measuring and valuing social impacts and practical steps to achieve wider adoption of Payment by Results schemes by Departments.
This edition discusses the effects of the Chancellor's Autumn Statement on 29 November, which confirmed a substantial rise in Air Passenger Duty (APD) in 2012, and what the future for the Northern Ireland leisure and business travel will be.
One of the toughest questions for today's governments is how to achieve balanced economic growth that is financially, socially and environmentally sound.
Rising demand for public services, tightened budgets and the need for a leaner, more efficient public sector mean public service reform is high on the Coalition's agenda.
On July 2010 the Government set up the independent Commission on Funding of Care and Support, chaired by Andrew Dilnot, to develop solutions on how to 'achieve an affordable and sustainable funding system for care and support, for all adults in England, both in the home and other settings.'
The real problem with PFI is not the one we're hearing about in the press. The procurement process means that PFI deals are structured and signed under significant public sector scrutiny.
Bribery has traditionally not been considered a high management risk for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Recent changes in UK law however, mean a rethink is needed. This Talking Points outlines some of the new risks facing HEIs and the ways in which these may be addressed.
Our latest Talking Points publication argues for continued investment in infrastructure, despite the global financial crisis.
This report by the Smith Institute, in association with PwC and Newcastle University provides a detailed analysis of past and present policies to tackle regional inequalities.
With the Coalition facing the dual challenge of reducing the deficit and implementing public service reform, should government charge for more services?
People are living longer, healthier lives, bringing a number of challenges. A public debate is required, alongside action from Government, employers and the financial services industry
All parties appear to support greater localism but given the tendency to hold ministers accountable for all aspects of public service performance is it really possible for government to let go in our centralised political culture?
The third sector makes a significant contribution to society, employing 650,000 people, and contributing nearly —9 billion a year to the UK economy with social enterprises alone. The sector has evolved at a rapid rate, assisted over the last decade by a determined push from Whitehall to create a more mixed economy for public service delivery.
The last decade has seen a determined push by Whitehall to create a more mixed economy for public service delivery. The policy objective, has been to transform the UK's £79bn public service market by widening choice, lowering cost and radically improving service delivery.
This generation is enjoying longer lives and longer periods of retirement than any of its predecessors. But these big changes also create a number of significant challenges, especially to the government's fiscal position through higher costs of state pensions, health and long-term care.

ETSU's Belcher to miss remainder of season
Tuesday, December 01, 2009
Belcher, who just finished rehabbing from left knee surgery in the off-season, went down with an ACL injury in her other knee during the second half against
"Whenever you lose a player, let alone a starter, it makes things difficult," commented Kemp. "In Tish's case, it's even more devastating, because she worked so hard rehabbing her other knee all summer and preseason to come back for her final year. Her presence will definitely be missed, both on offense and defense. Now our other post players need to step up and fill that void."
The reigning Atlantic Sun Defensive Player of the Year was coming off her most productive season in 2008-09, as Belcher averaged 11.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.9 steals in 31 starts. Belcher was also looking to join teammates Siarre Evans (
Belcher is on pace to receive her degree in May and has a red-shirt available; however, it has yet to be determined if it will be used.

How To Cook Lentils on the Stovetop
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Dried lentils are a year-round staple in our pantry, essential for rounding out salads during hot weather and hearty soups in the winter months. Regardless of the season, their quick-cooking, no-soak-required nature makes them ideal for healthy weeknight meals. Worried about mushy lentils? We have a trick for that, too.Yellow, red, and orange lentils are fantastic, but since they tend to get mushy when cooked, they are usually best added to soups and sauces rather than cooked on their own.
After trying many different cooking methods for lentils, we have found that the most reliable way to cook perfectly tender lentils is to bring them to a rapid simmer, and then reduce the heat to low for the rest of cooking. You want to see just a few bubbles in the water and some gentle movement in the lentils. They will plump up nicely without splitting their skins or becoming mushy.
The other trick is to wait to add the salt or any acidic ingredients until the lentils are done cooking. These ingredients can cause the lentils to stay crunchy even when fully cooked. If you stir in the salt while the lentils are still warm, they will absorb just enough to taste fully seasoned.
It's also important to buy the freshest lentils you can find and then use them within a few months. Older lentils take longer to cook and tend to shed their skins during cooking. You may also see tiny white flecks where the lentil started to sprout. They're still tasty and entirely edible, but just not as presentation-worthy.
Once cooked, your lentils are ready for any kind of culinary action you want to throw at them. They can be tossed into both green salads and grain salads, used in sandwich wraps, added to soups and chilis, or even made into veggie burgers. Some nights, I love a simple bowl of warm lentils tossed with good olive oil and vinegar with a poached egg to complete the meal.
What are your favorite ways to use lentils in your cooking?
What You Need
1 cup dried green, brown, or French lentils
2 cups water
1 bay leaf, 1 garlic clove, or other seasonings (optional)
1/4 - 3/4 teaspoon salt
Measuring cups
Strainer or colander
Small saucepan
Any amount of lentils can be cooked in this manner. Just maintain the 2:1 ratio of water to lentils described below.
1. Wash Lentils: Measure the lentils into a strainer or colander. Pick over and remove any shriveled lentils, debris, or rocks. Thoroughly rinse under running water.
2. Combine Lentils and Water: Transfer the rinsed lentils to a saucepan and pour in the water. Add any seasonings being used, reserving the salt.
4. Cook the Lentils: Bring the water to a rapid simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a very gentle simmer. You should only see a few small bubble and some slight movement in the lentils. Cook, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes. Add water as needed to make sure the lentils are just barely covered.
5. Salt the Lentils: Lentils are cooked as soon as they are tender and no longer crunchy. Older lentils may take longer to cook and shed their outer skins as they cook. Strain the lentils and remove any seasonings. Return the lentils to the pan and stir in 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Taste and add additional salt as needed.
6. Seasoning and Using Cooked Lentils: Cooked lentils will keep refrigerated for about a week. Season them with olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, fresh herbs, and eat them on their own. Lentils can also be added to soups, salads, or other recipes.

En español l Hot flashes, night sweats, moodiness, forgetfulness — these are menopausal symptoms that women have no problem discussing with their doctors.
Subscribe to the AARP Health Newsletter
But when it comes to the dry, tender vaginal tissues and painful intercourse caused by menopause, women suddenly become much less talkative, studies show.
That may be changing. The Food and Drug Administration recently approved Osphena, an estrogen-like drug some are calling the "pink Viagra" because it strengthens vaginal tissues, making intercourse less painful.
With the drug heading to market this month and drugmaker Shionogi planning a big marketing campaign, the problem of painful sex is suddenly getting a lot more attention.
And it's about time, says Sheryl Kingsberg, chief of the division of behavioral medicine at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland.
In a study of more than 3,000 women ages 45 to 75, Kingsberg and her colleagues found that many women suffer silently with vaginal pain, mostly because of embarrassment about bringing it up. (In the interest of full disclosure, Kingsberg reports that she and her colleagues received financial support from Osphena's drugmaker, Shionogi, even though the drug wasn't part of the study.)
The condition the women have is officially known as vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA), which refers to the thinning and weakening of vaginal tissues due to the drop in estrogen after menopause.
A number of studies estimate that close to 50 percent of postmenopausal women will experience VVA-related symptoms, including vaginal dryness, irritation, pain during intercourse and trouble with urination. In some cases, inflamed tissues can become infected.
With all this discomfort and pain, you'd think women would be avidly seeking relief. But research in both the United States and Europe notes that women frequently don't report their symptoms and, as a consequence, go untreated.
"There is a tremendous lack of communication around vaginal discomfort," Kingsberg says. She says the condition is both "underdiagnosed and undertreated" in older women, thanks to a lack of communication between health care providers and their postmenopausal patients.
In Kingsberg's study, published in May in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, she and her colleagues found that nearly 60 percent of the women said vaginal dryness and irritation had affected their enjoyment of sex, yet only 44 percent had discussed the problem with their health care provider.
Almost half of the women "expected their health care provider to bring up the topic" because they were too shy to bring it up first, Kingsberg told AARP.
But the providers were even worse at talking about it. A measly 13 percent of women in the study said their doctor or nurse had initiated a conversation about postmenopausal vaginal changes.
Part of the reason for women's reticence may be that they don't realize that their symptoms "are common and directly tied to menopause," Kingsberg said. Only 24 percent of the participants attributed their discomfort to menopause's hormonal changes.
Women also don't know enough about the different over-the-counter products or the prescription low-estrogen aids that might relieve their symptoms and keep VVA from getting worse, researchers found.
In the study, only 11 percent of women used low-dose prescription estrogen therapies. These include creams, pills and a vaginal ring that administer a small amount of estrogen directly to the affected tissues. Margery Gass, M.D., executive director of the North American Menopause Society, calls these low-dose therapies "very effective and safe" for dryness and discomfort that hasn't responded to over-the-counter lubricants.

Sebastian Vettel insists Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber won't be his only rivals on Sunday he chases his first German GP victory...
Sebastian Vettel insists Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber won't be his only rivals on Sunday he chases his first German GP victory.
Despite having won three Drivers' Championship titles and 29 grands prix, the German has yet to triumph at his home race.
Vettel has a good chance to finally take it on Sunday as he starts the 60-lap race second on the Nurburgring grid having lost out to only Lewis Hamilton.
The Red Bull racer, though, concedes Hamilton and Mark Webber, who is starting third, won't the only obstacles standing between him and his first home victory come Sunday afternoon.
"I'm looking forward to the race tomorrow, I'm not really focusing on just Lewis or just Mark," said the 26-year-old.
"Lewis is ahead of us and Mark is right behind and then we go from there.
"Obviously I focus on the start, I focus on the lights and then we see where we are after the first corner.
"60 laps is a long grand prix and a lot can happen out here.
"I don't think the race gets decided straight away so looking after myself first of all and then obviously the target is to win tomorrow."
As for qualifying, Vettel posted a 1:29.501 on Saturday afternoon on a hot track, putting him a tenth behind Merc's Hamilton and a tenth ahead of his own team-mate Webber.
"Congratulations to Lewis, I think he did a great job.
"It was quite close and I think I tried everything I had and the car felt fine.
"We were struggling a bit this afternoon in the first sector and losing a little bit of time and then trying to catch up and unfortunately it wasn't enough.
"It looks much closer here than it was at Silverstone so I think we made some progress and we have confidence for tomorrow.
"We had a good run yesterday so I think we did our homework and it was up to us to put the car on the first row and although it wasn't quite enough for pole position we should have a good race from there."

Great weight
These pans are high quality. The weight makes them perfect for soups and sauces. Have noticed the non-stick skillet began to lose its coating within a few months. Ugh! I also had to supplement with a few other sizes not included in this set. Wish I could find more.Read More
Long Lasting

Great quality
Pleasantly surprised by the quality of these pots and pans. Great value.Read More
Good value and quality
An order mix up that turned out great! I ordered a comforter from Overstock and ended up with a set of pots and pans! I liked them so well that I called and re-ordered my comforter, paid for these and kept them to give to a gift. Then I ordered another set for me. These have thicker bottoms and are not like the cheap products you see in retail stores. I have not noticed the handles gettin hot and I love them!Read More
GREAT pan set
Got this for my mom for Christmas and she is still raving about it 2 months later. GREAT pan set and no one knows what a great price it was!!!Read More
A Best Buy !!
I've been using a set of stainless steel (SS) cookware (manufacturer's mark is Metro) for over 30 years and I've had no complaints with the quality of the set, nor the cooking results. I just wanted an upgrade; something new. I did a LOT of research on current SS cookware. This Bodeux Gourmet cookware set is just well, "awesome!' The pots/pans are very, very well made and because they are 5-ply instead of 3-ply they heat up quickly and evenly. I never have to set my electric burners above a "3" setting (10 is the highest). There is no indication that the set is made in "China" as the information on the bottom of the pots/pans says "Bodeux France." International law stipulates that all manufactured products must indicate country of origin. I have a friend who ownsand uses every daya set of "AllClad" SS cookware and this Bodeux set cooks as well as, or perhaps even better than his AllClad set at a much lower price point. Folks, in my humble opinion, you just cannot buy a better set than this 10-piece Bodeux Gourmet cookware. I use it every day and I've cooked a lot of food with it already with no complaints, just absolute satisfaction. Just remember to use LOW HEAT SETTINGS!Read More
WOW! What a bargain! Lucky find.
I wasn't looking for new cookware. Then I came across this 5-ply cook set at such incredible price with great reviews....I must have it. I am glad that I got a set. This is high quality cookware. Professional quality, I'd say. Love the weight on hands. The nonstick pan is made of non-toxic material ( I researched it before purchase ). We love how our pancakes turn out. I am considering buying another set to gift. It is not cheap, but it is high end gourmet cookware at bargain price. HIghly recommended.Read More
Excellent Cookware Set
I bought this cookware set hoping for the best. I've cooked with many different cookware including Le Creuset and in my opinion, this cookware set is better. My food does not stick and the pots and pans heat very fast. I was very surprised I could get this type of quality for the price. I have recommended this to all of my friends who love to cook!Read More
quality is obvious
I was looking for a set of pots and pans under 200 dollars for a single guy who cooks pretty frequently and wanted more than basic cheap pots. I looked at emeril and wolfgang puck etc, but this is the best bang for the buck. after doing some research on whats best for cooking this combines all the best conductors...copper, aluminum and stainless steel. It is heavy and feels sturdy when you hold it. It is definitely well built. Cooking with these pots so far has been fun. I hand was mine and try to not get oil too hot. One surprise though is that the smaller frying pan actually has a non-stick surface instead of stainless steel, but i don't mind that much.Read More

I washed the cookware before use, but after cooking and washing them, there's black areas on the bottom of the pans. There's a light black residue that continues to come off after being washed. I do not put them in the dishwasher. What could this black residue be?? Thanks!
I didn't specify that I'm referring to the inside of the pans not the outside bottom....

Just when I thought I was weened of of most Scansoft/Nuance programs, they sent me one of those "too good to pass up" upgrade offers.
I had previously used their PDF Converter Pro 3 and had a real love/hate relationship with it. When it works, it is pretty amazing. However it has a way of throwing errors of the "Must Terminate" variety and usually does that just when you really do not have the time to deal with it. I also use Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 Professional and get by with it even though they tend not to support any of their products, except for enterprise versions, and then only with a paid support plan.
But a couple of weeks ago I received a promotion offer from Nuance that may be too good to ignore: OmniPage 16 Professional, with PaperPort 11, PDF Create 4, and a throw-in called MediaRecover. The whole package will cost me $99.99. I checked Nuance's web site and the full prices for each are OmniPage 16 Pro: $499.99; PaperPort (but not the Pro version): $99.99; PDF Create 4: $49.99; and MediaRecover, which I never heard of before: $29.99. They total $679.96. All for $99.99.
Unbelievable price. But are the programs worthwhile? If not, then even at that price, why bother? The product pages read great, but of course that's Nuance tooting their own horn. PC Magazine wrote them up pretty good, but I would prefer to hear from someone who has used these applications.

|Vermont Alpine Slides
The Stowe Alpine Slide opens tomorrow. This is a lot of fun for both children and adults. There is a height restriction for children before they can go by themselves but usually by age six children are tall enough to go by themselves. Children under the minimum height or under the age of two can ride double with an adult.
The adventure begins with a ride on a double chair lift to the top of Spruce Peak Mountain. At the top, you will pick up a plastic sled and get on the track for an exhilarating ride that lasts about three minutes if you go down quickly. You control the speed of the sled with a stick. Pull back and the sled slows down. Push the stick forward and you speed up.
There is also an alpine slide at the Pico ski area next to Killington and just a few minutes east of Rutland in central Vermont. The Bromley Thrill Zone near Bennington and Manchester in the southwestern part of the state also has an alpine slide.

Toilet Buddy is based on a Propeller Platform USB - it was inspired by Japanese toilets that play a 'Courtesy Flush' sound instead of actually flushing in order to save water. It also improves on the idea by reminding you to put the seat down and when you left the lights on.
First, I'll go over the design and show you how to make it. Then, I'll show you how Toilet Buddy can be adapted to projects that could use event-driven audio playback.
Step 1: FAQ
Toilet Buddy has two sensors - one for the light level in the room, the other for the position of the toilet seat. Based on the status of the sensors, audio samples are triggered and played through the onboard speakers;
- When the light is on and the seat is up, it plays back flushing samples
- When the light is off and the seat is up, it plays back a reminder to put the toilet seat down
- When the light is on and the seat is down, it reminds you to turn the bathroom light off
Can I use it for something else?
Yes! The ability to trigger audio samples based on external events is useful for home automation, music, R/C, and tons of different projects. After we put together the base circuit, I'll give you a few examples for re-purposing Toilet Buddy.
Will it work on my toilet?
Probably. As long as the toilet lid is taller than the reservoir tank when open, it should work;
If the lid doesn't go over the tank, Toilet Buddy won't be able to sense when it's up.
How long do the batteries last?
Over a month. Toilet Buddy spends most of its time in low power mode, consuming <1mA @ 4V.
What's the audio quality?
48KHz, 16-bit stereo, which is a little better than CD quality sound.
The actual seat, of course is left up or down on different occasions (which is reasonably balanced) by a certain sort of person (generally, the male of the species) and always down (unfairly biased) by another sort of person (usually the female of the species).
What I would like would be a gadget that reminds people that once in a while they should be reasonable and leave the seat up for the next user!
Any more information about that clock with 2 pendulums and 3 dials,
Is that clock striking you have in the WAV files?
regards, Bob
Sorry ladies, I'm speaking from experience though.

The Master of Health Care Leadership (MHCL) was the first master's degree specifically directed at leadership in health care administration in Wichita. The Health Care Leadership degree is one of only three
university graduate programs recognized in Kansas by the American
College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) Higher Education Network (HEN)
for providing appropriate, high quality curriculum to prepare students
to take the board exam for fellowship. This recognition and membership
in the HEN provides a competitive advantage for the MHCL program, its
students and graduates.
The MHCL will prepare students for responsible positions of professional leadership in the health care environment. The coursework was developed by leaders in the health care industry and specifically designed to encompass all phases of health care leadership, including acute and long-term care, clinic and hospital management, and home health and hospice agencies.
Information from various sources – including The Wall Street Journal, the American College of Healthcare Executives, the U.S. Bureau of Statistics, the Kansas Job Vacancy Survey, InformationWeek, the Greater Wichita Economic Development Coalition and the Wichita Eagle – recognizes health care as a growing industry. Some of the reasons for this growth include advances and changes in technology, managed health plans, issues related to aging, physician and hospital ventures, and other areas. Nationally, health care providers are recognizing the majority of middle- to upper-level managers as highly skilled clinicians, with limited financial, management and leadership skills. The industry as a whole is demanding more efficiency, including increased regulations. The curriculum was constructed with recommendation from many of the region's health care providers. The instructors include full-time faculty members at Friends University who have health care experience, as well as full-time practitioners in various disciplines in the health care industry.
If you would like to progress in the health care industry, this Health Care Leadership master's program will assist in developing the leadership skills necessary. Although appropriate for the CEO career track, this degree accommodates professionals aspiring for director-level positions as well. The last module consists of an internship where you will experience firsthand a topic of study you find most interesting.
Need more information? Request information about the Master's in Health Care Leadership degree at Friends University. You can also contact your Graduate Admissions Program Representative directly:
For Wichita/Online: Amy Johnson at 316-295-5904 or email@example.com
For more information on the MBA degree in Topeka, contact Melissa Cummings at 787-272-9595 or email@example.com.

Finding a good electrician training program is difficult. Especially start your career towards becoming an electrician. Programs with any real value are few and far between. That is if you are looking to become an actual electrician and not just work for one. There is a huge difference between the two.Many programs lure people in with the image of becoming a highly paid "certified electrician". At best you will be better prepared than someone without training for an entry-level job. That isn't worth the price tag on some programs out there. You don't need anything to be entry-level.
1) They Say you'll be Certified
2) The "Hands-On" Training Areas Look like a Movie Set
3) The Instructors Aren't Electricians
4) You Have to Get Your Tools from Them
5) The Program is too broad

|Great Deals at the Waitsfield VT Ski & Skate Sale
A few years ago I visited the Waitsfield VT Ski and Skate Sale because I had driven by it the previous couple of years and noticed a great number of cars parked there. Inside, I found an impressive amount of gear at tempting prices. And it was not only skis and skates despite the name. There were also many boots, snowboards, snowshoes, jackets, helmets, and pants. Much of the gear was adult size but there was also a lot of children's equipment. If you have a family to outfit, this event could be a big help to your budget.
The newest gear tends to go fast on Saturday, depending upon size and price. Sunday is the day for the best deals. Usually around 11:00 on Sunday, they start slashing prices to help move the gear out faster.
Waitsfield is in the Mad River Valley, home to Sugarbush and Mad River Glen ski areas. To say that the area is full of skiers is an apt description. Like most skiers anywhere, the people here have a lot of gear and they often buy new stuff to get the latest and best. I've noticed the same trait with golfers and fishermen. I'm one of them. I have enough fishing equipment to outfit about three people. I wish someone would hold a sale like this for fishing gear. On second thought, I would probably buy more stuff than I sold so I'm probably better off without it.
There are many sales like this around New England and this one is one of the oldest, being in existence for the past 29 years. The sale will be held at the Waitsfield Elementary School on Route 100 (scroll down the list on the left to find the Waitsfield school link at the bottom) Saturday and Sunday, November 15 and 16, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. There is no admission charge. Parking however, is a challenge. You will see people parked everywhere along the road and in nearby parking lots. Be prepared for a ten minute walk if you can't park close.
If you have stuff to sell, it should be checked in at the school on Friday from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. There is a 20% consignment fee. I don't know if they take gear on Saturday or Sunday too but you can use the contact information on the web page.
This event is about a ten minute drive from our inn. Since you will be bargain shopping, we'll help you save money by discounting our rooms ten percent. Call us at 800-800-7760 for information.

|Southern VT Travel Blog
About nine years ago, we traveled to Vermont and New Hampshire to look at inns for sale. One of our favorites was an inn in Brattleboro VT called 40 Putney Road, named after the address there. It had beautiful French architecture and a nice location. We ended up passing on it because we found our current VT bed and breakfast inn that was a better fit for us and made our numbers work better. Since that time, 40 Putney Road has changed hands a couple of times I think. The new owners, Tim and Amy, look like they are doing a great job with it - see especially the room photos on their website.
They also write a blog I found a couple of months ago just as we started heading into the big fall foliage rush. Now that the extra busy period is over, I am getting around to writing about the blog. It's called "InnBrattleboro" and I have found it to be an interesting source of information about the area of southern Vermont. They also write some about southern New Hampshire which is a very short drive across the Connecticut River from their Brattleboro VT location.
It's nice to find this blog because a couple of other southern Vermont blogs I was following ended up dormant and I took them off my links list in the right column. InnBrattleboro looks like it has been going since December last year so I have hope the writers will keep it at it. I will put a link to it under the Travel Friends heading on the right.
Tim and Amy don't write frequently: twice in October and twice in September (during the busy season, remember) but prior to that they were writing blog entries roughly four times a month. Some of the photo links are broken but the ones that do work just take you to a slightly larger version of the photo. Thanks to InnBrattleboro, I've learned about new places to visit down there and this blog will be the first place I will check the next time we plan a trip to southern VT.
Tim is also a website designer. His company, Loose Leaf Design, does some nice looking work.

|Killington: Nevermind
They skied and snow boarded at Killington for five days but now it has come to a halt due to the unseasonably warm weather we've been having. Even with a 30 inch base in some spots, you just can't keep going when daytime temperatures are nearly reaching the 60's and nighttime temps are in the 40's.
There was some unofficial skiing at other areas, even Mad River Glen which does not make snow. But, it turns out it was all just an amusing early season appetizer of what is to come.
Right now, Killington is aiming for a reopening on November 14. Next week's night time temps will be the key. To get current information, check Killington's conditions page on their website. The resort has spent $8.4 million in improvements this year and they are anxious to show them off.

|VT Author Archer Mayor
One of the most surprising things about moving to Vermont was discovering the number of artists, writers, actors, musicians, and other artistic people who live here. They are literally everywhere. Vermont is smaller than tiny (teeny?) but it's brimming with talented folks.
One of the best known is author Archer Mayor , a resident of Townsend, a beautiful village in southern VT. His crime stories have been best sellers for about two decades. Mayor's 19th novel, The Catch, has just been published by St. Martin's Press. Like all his Detective Joe Gunther (the main character) stories, this one also takes place in Vermont but it soon moves to Maine where Joe is in pursuit of two "evil doers" as George Bush would say.
Mayor himself probably would not make a very good character for a novel because he would not be believable - too much of an over achiever! He has been a "scholarly editor, a researcher for TIME-LIFE Books, a political advance-man, a theater photographer, a newspaper writer/editor, a lab technician for Paris-Match Magazine in Paris, France, and a medical illustrator . . . He is also a death investigator for Vermonts Chief Medical Examiner, a deputy for the Windham County Sheriffs Department, and has 25 years experience as a volunteer firefighter and EMT."
Unfortunately there is not much more information about his background except that he grew up in the US, Canada, and France but that just piqued my curiosity even more. It would be interesting to see more details about his family, early life, education, and details about his work experiences.
If you would like to meet him in person, he has a busy calendar of personal appearances this month and next throughout New England and New York. You can see the schedule here. .
On his website is a series of short videos, one of which I found particularly interesting: why he chose to live in Vermont.
Another video I suggest you watch is a humorous story involving doughnuts that took place while he was working as a police officer.

|New York Times Article on Burlington VT
The New York Times Travel section has a feature called "36 hours in ___." A few days ago the Time published such an article about Burlington VT.
It's pretty well done and covers the upper downtown area around Church Street for the most part. This street is closed off from car traffic and paved with bricks to make it an inviting pedestrian plaza. We often recommend it to guests who want to visit Burlington. There are a good number of specialty shops, restaurants, and bars which makes it a lively daytime and night gathering place.
One area the Time's article does not feature is the great waterfront including the Burlington Boat House. The article does mention Burlington's "Stonehendge" park and the accompanying slide show also mentions the ECHO Museum at the waterfront so readers can find the rest of the waterfront on their own. Of course, it is not as inviting this time of year as it is during months of milder temperatures.
This article is a reprise of similar "36 hours" article the Times did about six years ago.
There is much more to see and do in Burlington and the surrounding area but if you really do have just a few hours, this guide is a good overview of some main highlights.

|We're Skiing in VT!
This photo is copied from the Killington website so the "watch video" link does not work here . . . go to the Killington website to watch the videos and see how much snow they have.
Believe it or not, today marked the first day of ski season in Vermont, as the East's perennial first-starter (and longest season record holder) Killington opened for skiing today with nine trails and two lifts swinging into action.
Hard to believe I know but we have had snow at the upper elevations for a few weeks now. Killington's snow is a mixture of natural and artificial snow of course but they have about an 18 inch base going which is impressive.
If all goes according to schedule, nearby Okemo will be the next Vermont ski area open. They plan to do so on November 15. Other planned openings: Sugarbush and Stowe, Nov 22; Stratton, Nov 26; Jay Peak, Smuggler's Notch, and Bromley, Nov 28.
The other ski areas in the state plan December openings. It all depends upon mom nature of course. The best single source of information on openings is Vermont Ski Areas Association website
To see the latest information as it becomes available, go to the Ski Conditions page and check the Trails Open column.

By Richard Simms
From the outside looking in, the world of duck hunters is a seemingly closed fraternity full of secret handshakes, hidden passwords and countless unwritten rules.
Hardcore waterfowlers are molasses-slow in issuing invitations to novice hunters. Sometimes the beginners don't have the necessary expensive gear, like waders or licenses.
In other cases the competition for quality hunting places is already too great.
Or for some, duck hunting is a near-religious experience and it seems taboo to share with a neophyte.
Which means somebody that wants to learn how to hunt waterfowl better not wait for an invitation.
Unlike deer hunting with days on end spent sitting alone in a tree, duck hunting can be a social event. Two or three people sharing the day in unison. And experience is the best teacher so find a buddy and learn together. What follows is a bare bones guide entitled, "Duck Hunting for Dummies.
(Forgive me... this was written primarily for us poor folks in East tennessee where wetlands, swamps or rice fields are as rare as a bull sprig.) - Thanks to TVA and the Tennessee River, we really are blessed with plenty of duck hunting places. You can hunt almost anywhere on the Tennessee River. The shoreline of most TVA reservoirs is public domain. Nickajack Lake is an exception since it was built pre-TVA and the government didn't actually buy the land it flooded. And Tennessee law forbids hunting anywhere within 100 yards of an occupied dwelling without permission. Otherwise, there are hundred of miles of water. It's not the duck mecca you'll find in West Tennessee or other states, but there are ducks to be found for those who are willing to hunt (pun intended).
Ask many experienced waterfowl hunters, especially from Southeast Tennessee, where to go however, and they'll point to the North Alabama portion of the Tennessee Valley. The area basically between Stevenson and Scottsboro, Ala. offers an impressive array of flooded swamps, bottomlands, aquatic vegetation and an intensive management program by the Alabama Wildlife Division.
The same is true up and down the East Tennessee Valley all the way to Knoxville and beyond.
Waders: Waders are a duck hunting essential. Hip waders will get you by in a few places, but chest-high waders are better. Even if the water isn't deep. they'll keep your butt dry when you sit down. You can get a pair of chest waders for $60, but you'll be cold, miserable and you'll give up duck hunting before you get started good. A decent pair of well-insulated chest high waders will cost $100 to $150. If you don't want to spend that much, stay home and watch TV. Don't think you'll only use them duck hunting. If you are fishing in cold weather or foul weather, waders will keep you warmer and drier than any rain suit.
Decoys: You can start out with a dozen (mallard) decoys no matter where you hunt. I figured out long ago that as long as I'm hunting a spot where ducks want to be, it doesn't matter if I've got 10 decoys or 110. Add on as you wish once you decide you really like this stuff.
Of course the rage among most duck hunters these days is the so-called "robo-duck," a battery-operated decoy with rotating wings. Some even dip and dive creating ripples on the water just like feeding ducks. The robo-ducks are very effective, so much so that some across the country have suggested they be banned.
But don't think you have to have one. If you've done your homework and scouted out a good area where ducks want to be, a robo-duck won't matter.
Guns & Shells: Many hunters these days brag about their ten gauge shotguns and 3-and-a-half inch shot shells. But a 12-gauge chambered for 3-inch magnums is the waterfowling standard. If you stay calm and patient, allowing the ducks to get into reasonable range (35 yards or less), almost any high-power shotgun shell will be sufficient. And if you must choose one choke, go with modified. Remember to buy steel shot shells only – no lead allowed.
Camouflage: McCutcheon says a major mistake he sees is hunters who build blinds that don't match the natural surroundings. "Things like using green cane to build a blind in a brown cornfield," said McCutcheon. "Ducks are smart and they know when something doesn't look right.
As far as clothing, anything is fine as long as it's brown. Duck hunters who go out and buy army-style green camo have generally made a mistake. The need for green camouflage is rare in most spots.
And in places that offer good natural cover, hunters who will stay still can simply use good camouflage to blend into the existing scenery. Always wear a facemask. It might not seem like much, but a hunter's face peering toward the sky is just like a loudspeaker screaming "stay away!"
Duck Calls: For most hunters, a duck call works best when in it is in your pocket. McCutcheon says, "use your call sparingly. If more people approached it that way it would be better on them, and on other hunters as well."
Be Mobile: I've been duck hunting for 35 years. And I'll be the first to admit I can't blow a duck call worth a flip. However I'd put my success rate up against just about anybody who hunts the same areas.
In West Tennessee, Arkansas and such places, you can count on new birds moving through the area. Which means you can hunt the same spot day after day after day.
Except when extreme weather hits, East Tennessee ducks won't let you get away with that. Try to hunt the same birds two or three days in a row and you'll find a box of shells will last you a long time.
Be willing to seek out new territory. That might mean spending some afternoons hiking or running a lot of gas through the boat. But be mobile, find new spots rather then returning to the same dry hole all the time, and your work will be rewarded.
Don't Skybust: McCutcheon says that's the biggest mistake he sees. Skybusting is shooting at ducks that are simply too far away, resulting in wasted shells, wounded birds, and ruined hunts for others in the area. "People just don't know how to judge distance," he said. "They just don't realize how big ducks really are, and that they can look at lot closer than they really are."
Twenty yards to thirty yards is ideal shooting range. When a duck gets within that distance, the eyeball will be clearly distinguishable. Until then, it's probably out of range. Some people will measure off 45 yards to place their furthest decoy and use that to mark the maximum shooting distance.
In nearly every case, ducks will circle your decoys many times before they actually decide to try and land. They're using their own skills to spot potential danger, and each pass over the decoys means another rush of adrenaline for the hunter.
"That's what's so captivating, " said McCutcheon. "The way ducks manipulate their flight. The set wings, the pitching and diving, the sound their wings make and the sheer acrobatics. That's what really gets people."
If you're a regular waterfowler, you know all that and maybe it's time to share. If you're not, maybe it's time to find out for yourself.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Gary Lenkiewicz on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Transferred use of a surname, which is probably derived from a Norman personal name of Continental Germanic origin, a short form of any of the various compound names beginning with gar 'spear'. One bearer of this surname was the American industrialist Elbert Henry Gary (1846–1927), who gave his name to the steel town of Gary, Indiana (chartered in 1906). In this town was born the theatrical agent Nan Collins, who suggested Gary as a stage name for her client Frank J. Cooper, who thus became Gary Cooper (1901–61). His film career caused the name to become enormously popular from the 1930s to the present day. Its popularity has been maintained by the cricketer Gary Sobers (b. 1936; in his case it is in fact a pet form of Garfield) and the footballer Gary Lineker (b. 1960). It is now often taken as a pet form of Gareth.
|42nd in the U.S.
Polish: patronymic from the personal name Lenek, a pet form of Lenart (see Leonard) or Leon 'lion' (see Leon).
|64,360th in the U.S.
