Fernando Alonso received an unwelcome birthday present on Monday as he was wrapped over the knuckles by the Ferrari president following his critical comments in Hungary.
The Spaniard slipped further behind in the race for the Championship at Budapest after he finished fifth, and he wasn't pleased with the performance of the team afterwards.
Asked what kind of car he wanted for his 32nd birthday, he told Italian reporters: "The one the others have."
Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo wasn't impressed by his comments and wrapped him over the knuckles during a telephone conversation on Monday.
"All the great champions who have driven for Ferrari have always been asked to put the interests of the team above their own," Di Montezemolo is quoted as saying by the team's official website.
"This is the moment to stay calm, avoid polemics and show humility and determination in making one's own contribution, standing alongside the team and its people both at the track and outside it."
Alonso has been linked with a move to Red Bull in recent days with his manager Luis Garcia Abad meeting with team boss Christian Horner over the weekend.
Although the double World Champion has stated he is "very happy" at the Scuderia, many believe there is no smoke without a fire.
Di Montezemolo also told a team meeting on Monday that "there is a need to close ranks, without giving in to rash outbursts that, while understandable in the immediate aftermath of a bad result, are no use to anyone", which was reportedly also in reference to Alonso.
Ferrari have dropped away from the front-runners in recent weeks and Alonso is now 39 points behind Sebastian Vettel in the standings, something which is a major concern for the Ferrari president.
"Montezemolo did not mince his words when it came to asking the team to step up a gear," the website declared.
"Each one of the engineers present received a 'gift' of a knife, along with an invitation - metaphorical up to a point - to put it between their teeth when thinking how to tackle the second half of the season."

Mission Type: Flyby
Launch Vehicle: 8K78 (no. L1-4M)
Launch Site: NIIP-5 / launch site 1
Spacecraft Mass: 480 kg
Spacecraft Instruments: 1) ultraviolet spectrograph; 2) radiation detector and 3) cosmic-ray detector
-Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
This was the first of two Soviet Mars spacecraft intended to fly past Mars. It also was the first attempt by humans to send spacecraft to the vicinity of Mars. Although the spacecraft initially included a TV imaging system and a spectroreflectometer (to detect organic life on Mars), mass constraints forced engineers to remove both instruments a week before launch.
The mission profile called for the probe to first enter Earth orbit and then use a new fourth stage (called "Blok L") to gain enough additional velocity to fly to a Mars encounter. During the launch, violent vibrations caused a gyroscope to malfunction. As a result, the booster began to veer from its planned attitude. The guidance system failed at T+309 seconds, and the third-stage engine was shut down after the trajectory deviated to a pitch of greater than 7°. The payload eventually burned up in Earth's atmosphere over eastern Siberia without reaching Earth orbit.
The Mars flyby was planned for 13 May 1961.

Gallery: Modern Manifesto House Made From Wood Pallets and Shipping Con...
While not totally prefabricated, the Manifesto House by Infiniski utilizes pre-made materials like shipping containers and wooden pallets to create a totally rad modern house. Infiniski's mission is to build homes cheaply and quickly using sustainable materials while incorporating renewable energy systems. They have many designs already available, which can be interchanged and easily modified.
Built in Curacavi, Chile, for a grand total of 79,000€, the modest home is composed of two 40′ shipping containers and two 20′ containers. The use of wooden pallets on the exterior of the home gives it fantastic texture, but also has purpose — they provide shade and allow the home to be naturally cooled, since air can move freely between the slats. The containers meanwhile, are completely weather tight and provide the necessary structural capacity for the home.
Inside the home is airy and open due to a large living space on the bottom floor created by the placement of the containers. What seems like inexpensive storefront windows are used as the walls, which can be slid open to naturally ventilate the home. There is also a folding screen to create a covered outdoor porch or shade the interior from the sun when folded down. Geothermal heat pumps also help provide heating and cooling. The architects at James&Mau are also the founders of Infiniski, so the designs are not only design-worthy, but practical in terms of build-out.

Wow, James&Mau put together some superb work! Love this house.
I'm glad people are recycling these wood pallets. Wood pallets, if you didn't know, are the worst things for the environment. We need to ban them as soon as possible.
They pose a serious threat to the food, our workers, and our environment. So more praise should be herald on James&Mau for this home. You can read what the United Nations has to say about this issue here:

Please keep recycling and abolishing these horrible creations!

Just imagine this- simply cover the empty metal pan with the lid, and instantly uncover it again to reveal a pile of candy, prizes or party favors!
Yes, it's as simple as that! The items you can produce are limited only by what will fit in the pan (and are not included). Besides producing prizes or candy, you could produce silks, a Sponge Cake, a Rubber Dove, or Spring Flowers. All of these items can be purchased below!
We carry a number of production pans. What sets this one apart is that it has a pedestal bottom, a very nice design touch.
Why is this called a "chick pan"? This trick has been around for a few hundred years. Back in the day, magicians would be expected to produce live animals as part of the show. The size of this pan was perfect for safely producing little baby chicks. So, this type of pan became known as a "Chick Pan". Today, the Chick Pan has become the easiest way of producing anything small, without having to have any skill.
Place a few kernels of unpopped popcorn into the Pedestal Chick Pan. Cover the pan, then lift the cover off- the pan is filled with popped popcorn!Pour a small amount of sugar into the Pedestal Chick Pan. Cover the pan, then lift the cover off- the pan is filled with candy! Kids at a party will love this!

text: The Bowl Championship Series was started in the 1998 season, and was started to give college football fans a true one verses' two matchup for the National Championship. It has achieved just that, but it has not come without scrutiny each and every year. Most people want a true playoff system, and are just going to hate anything but that. Some universities feel like they have been screwed by the system, which also might be true. The facts are, this is the current system we have and the SEC has dominated since the system was adopted in 1998. The SEC has won 15 BCS games since it was started in 1998, and this year will make number 16. They have also won the BCS National Championship game seven times from five different teams, with this year guarantying an eighth win. So with the eighth win looming we decided to rank the previous seven wins. We evaluated the wins based on opening spread, attendance, television rankings, historical implications, and final score. That gave us our rankings. We will start the poll at number seven and make our way to the number one all time BCS National Championship Win.

The included full-function wireless remote gives you control over nearly any Alpine device in your car.

BE WARE, if you have DVD+R movies, this thing wont play them. SAD since all you find now in stores are DVD+Rs, you wont find DVD-Rs that are DL, only 4.7gb, so any backups you may have on DVD+R DL or DVD+R, this thing will spit it out right back at you. It wont play. No software update, nothing is available from Alpine. It might be a nice player but very limited. You have been warned. Pros: Kids love it. Cons: I hate its limited playback capabilities. 12 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No phenomenal Written By sushivoodoo, Ga. on Tuesday, March 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My husband (first timer) installed this unit in a 04 Tahoe. The only problems we encountered were the screws. There was no cutting of the interior as we just went through the interior lights. It mounted like a dream we fumbled a little bit with alignment of the unit, seeing as how we did not cut the liner, but with some long screws it was flawless. Unfortunately, we had to return it because the car was traded for a 2012 Tahoe that came with a factory model that was inferior to this. The upgrade was done as a surprise for my parents and they wanted no adjustments made to the new vehicle even though this unit was FAR superior.(old people have no respect for advanced technology : ) so the only option was a return. A bit let down because this DVD blows this the factory model out of the water. Pros: beautiful picture,sound,features Cons: screws cannot be used to mount this player 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Better Looking/Performing than some Factory Units Written By Peter, Demarest, NJ on Saturday, February 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was the first rear entertainment system I've ever purchased, let alone, install it myself. First the speaker upgrade, then the Dynamats all around, then finally, the Rear Entertainment for my children, and I'm one of them! I really did a lot of shopping / researching and finally, decided to go with the Alpine unit, but most importantly, from Crutchfield. I wasn't about to take a gamble with $500 plus electronic item that I'd get shady support where there's a problem. Now onto the unit itself. Let's first talk about the installation. It was relatively easy because I've dropped the headliner prior and pre-ran all wires, including the direct battery (+), switched +12V, negative door trigger, and the AUX out / video/audio-in. But when I got to the part where I had to mount the units, the 4mm machine screws were too short.. way too short. Alpine, please start including slightly longer mounting screws. Several trips to True Value solved that problem in a jiffy however. Now for the quality: it's impeccable. Not only it was double boxed from Crutchfield which I expected no less, but the unit itself is meticulously put together. Although I've read some reviews on Amazon buyers that there was issue with audio, I found none! This is why I did not go gray market.. simply did not wanted to take that chance. I was also impressed with the audio quality of the infrared headsets. Now for the picture: sharp and vibrant. Best LCD I've seen in a mobile setup. Pros: High-quality craftsmanship, audio fidelity, picture quality Cons: Short mounting screws 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Works great in Subaru Tribeca Written By pdecrette, Steamboat Springs, CO on Tuesday, November 30, 2010 I installed this in my 2009 Subaru Tribeca before an 18 hour trip with a one-year old and a three-year old. It helped! The installation was fairly straightforward and is 100% reversible in this vehicle. The quality of the player seems great. No problems at all. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great value Written By Smitty, Florida on Saturday, August 07, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Pros: Great build quality (headphones too). Looks and sounds great. Very thorough manual. Cons: Only comes in one color. After alot of research and I went to many retail store and saw many units with questionable build quality. I never found this unit anywhere but came back to it due to specs and the Alpine name. In over 20 years shopping with Crutchfield I knew I would be taken care of if I didn't like it. It has worked great and keeps the kids quiet. The lights can be set to function with the factory illumination. When the vehicle is turned off the player continues where it left off when the vehicle is restarted. Screen is bright enough to be seen in daylight and doesn't have the glare problems that headrest units have. Video game hookup for long trips is no problem. The pause button mounted in front is a nice touch. It really gets the kids attention quick. 16 out of 17 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent product, but in a tough environment... Written By Arthur, Dededo, Guam (South Pacific) on Sunday, January 24, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I actually purchased the first Alpine and had it installed in MI. Everything worked as advertised, but the monitor screen quit working after a tough (HOT, HUMID) 2.5 years in Guam. Keep in mind that the climate here is 80-90 degrees farenheit with 80% humidity year-round. I highly recommend the product, but it's durability is a bit suspect. Buy the extended warranty as I did with this one. I think it will be a good investment if you're in a harsh (very hot, or very cold) environment. 9 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Probably the best overhead DVD player in the market Written By torres, Greenville, SC on Monday, November 09, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this for my children so they can be entertained on long trips. Installation was challenging and like the other reviewers, the installation screws were too short (hence 4 stars). Aside from the challenge of install, I'm certain that this is the best product of its kind. The picture quality is simply amazing and the workmanship is solid. The only operational issue is that the sound coming from the FM modulator to my stereo system was "fuzzy". However, this could be due to my vehicle. Also, Alpine provides a hardwire connection cable from the DVD unit to the FM antenna connector on the back of the stereo. As to Crutchfield's service, I have been a customer for 21 years! The overall value Crutchfield provides is the reason I've been with them this long. 5 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No GREAT PICTURE! Written By Jeffery, TUCSON, AZ on Sunday, April 19, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) BOUGHT THIS FOR MY WIFE'S NEW MINI VAN, IT IS A GREAT ADDITION AT A FRACTION OF THE OEM COST. VERY SIMPLE WIRING AND ALTHOUGH WE HAVE A MOONROOF THAT RETRACTS TO THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE I HAD NO PROBLEMS. I HAVE INSTALLED SEVERAL PIECES OF CAR STEREO EQUIPMENT IN MY LIFETIME AND THIS WAS A BIT OF A CHALLENGE. DEFINITELY NOT A DO IT YOURSELF JOB IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT. HAD TO USE DIFFERENT MOUNTING SCREWS BECAUSE THE ONES THAT ARE INCLUDED ARE VERY SHORT BUT THAT IS THE ONLY CON. GREAT PICTURE! 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great purchase Written By Lewis, High Springs, FL on Wednesday, February 04, 2009 Installed in a 2008 Mazda 5 mini van. Was a pain to install, especially outside in the FL sun. It has been worth every cent. My daughters have enjoyed it almost everyday. When we travel they pick out several movies and never get bored. They also read alot, but when they are tired of reading they have something to do. The only problem/complaint I have is that the screen blocks part of my rearview mirror view. The headphones work great as does the thru speaker connection. The radio does lose a little reception but it is worth it! When the daughters have friends everyone can listen. Crutchfields service is always great, but the instructions for the "5" were not. I guess it's hard to have info on everything. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Very Nice DVD Player Written By Jonathan, Dayton, OH on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good price on a very nice DVD player. I was fortunate enough to have a friend who was able to install this for me and my kids love it. Additionally, the wiring was available so that the buttons light up when the car is on and there are additional lights that come on only when the interior car lights come on (switched on or door opened). I drove 26 hours over christmas with my wife and two children...the children were quiet all the way. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No very nice unit Written By Rande, Augusta GA on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I know this is an expensive unit, but the quality is untouchable. I had a local shop install it, so I can't comment on the install process. They charged $200, but did a very proffesional job. The quality of the picture is jaw dropping. The LED dome lights on the sides look really cool as well. I'm very happy with this purchase. I would highly recommend this DVD player. 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great video system for E350 Written By Jon, El Cajon, CA on Wednesday, October 01, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was a very straightforward install, and the product has plenty to offer. There are more input/output cables than I'll ever use, so this unit has lots of options for use. The mounting plate was easy to attach to an existing rib in the roof of the van, and to properly secure it with at least 4 screws, I needed to epoxy some wood blocks to the roof sheet metal to create additional points of contact. After carefully cutting and measuring the headliner, the installation is very clean and simple. The view from all three benches is clear and bright, and the wireless headphones have good sound and reception even in the back. When the screen is down, it doesn't obstruct the drivers view in any direction. I used the FM adapter and a hard wired plug to the AUX Input on the stereo, and both sound just fine. We're looking forward to enjoying this on our next road trip 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Alpine PKG-RSE2 installed in a 2007 F-150 SC Written By Pmason, NYC/NC on Monday, June 23, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed this overhead monitor in my 2007 Super Crew F-150 with the overhead rails. I will not tell you that he installation was a breeze but it wasnt difficult either. I didnt use the FM modulator for audio so I cant comment on the quality of the sound being connected that way. I connected the audio straight to my Pioneer Z2 headunit. Im happy with my decision. The screen can be seen from the side (no need to tilting) which its not capable of doing anyway. Sound from the headphones are great and an extra pair only cost $19.99. The clarity of the picture is amazing. A lot of my friends thought that I had an HDTV installed in the truck. Also I didnt connect the dome lights simply b/c I have a truck with 2 ights in the front and 2 in the rear, so I dont need them in the middle. Keep in mind that you will need audio and video cables to complete you installation. Pros: Un-beleiveable picture, wireless headhones, mom button for easy pausing (if you have kids) built-in dome lights, remote control. Cons: Short mounting screws (longer ones can be purchased from a hardware store if needed). 20 out of 22 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No GREAT FOR PARENTS Written By Victor, Rio Grande City, TX on Monday, June 23, 2008 Alpine works great had it installed and paired it with the sirius backseat system. Picture is sharp, colorful, great price and great quality. Although commercials are very digitized, the shows and cartoons are great looking on the screen. Design is sleek. There is a great feature which is not identified clearly, but as a parent its great. A pause/play button at the back of the unit which is easily accessible from the drivers chair which is great for parents. All in all a great purchase. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Alpine's PKG-RSE2 in a HHR! It can be done... Written By philip, Ventura, CA on Monday, May 26, 2008 This was installed in a 08 SS HHR. I opted for this instead of headrest because of the Alpine name and I didn't want to tear up my custom headrests. As usual, Alpine's quality is perfect, sound is awesome though the FM modulator, and the size is great with no obstructive view for even this little car. I can still use the rearview mirror! The screen is viewable from all angles in the rear and no more sun glares which the kids always complained about on headrest models. The remote is a little complicated for kids but they'll learn it soon enough. Right now it is being used with the factory headunit but when I upgrade to a A/V Headunit, video options are plentiful. The install went rather well but definitely not for a beginner installer. Depending on your cars options you may have to watch for side airbag sensors and other various things during the install. I'm just your average "Joe" and the install took me over 6 hours. A very highly recommended unit! 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Alpine PKG-RSE2 Written By Lewis, High Springs, FL on Monday, May 05, 2008 I installed this in a 2008 Mazda 5. Other than locating a good source for constant 12v, the install went smoothly. Dropping the headliner and getting everything lined up properly went great until it was time to install the unit itself. The supplied screws were too short and would not reach through the headliner to the reinforcement plate, Alpine should offer several different size screws. A quick trip to the local hardware solved my problem. I only ran aux cables to the floor from one of the two aux inputs and did not need the ouput video, but it was nice to have so many options. The unit worked perfectly (thankfully!) once the power was connected. I adjusted the FM mopdulator on screen for a channel not used in my area and was able to get an excellent signal through the radio. Now, if we have more than two viewers (I purchased an extra set of headphones), everyone in the car can get audio. My children love the location and no longer complain about the sun preventing them from seeing a picture. Our previous models were not in the ceiling. Mounting one of these is easy if you are familiar with how to disassemble an automobile (I am. I was a technician for 14 years) or replace a headliner, but I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner. 67 out of 78 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The 10 Best Teen Drama Films of All Time
December 09, 2013 via Pepsi
The 10 Best Teen Drama Films of All Time
The teen drama is a bona fide classic genre in 2013. At some point, everyone's had to deal with the trials and tribulations of adolescence. From the awkwardness of puberty, to the excitement and terror of falling in love--there's nothing quite like it. In honor of figuring out how long to wait before you text your crush back, navigating the high school cafeteria seating chart, and mastering the art of playing hookie, we've compiled a list of the best teen drama films of all time. The list spans several decades, but all selections carry the same hopeful message: high school has its ups and downs, but just get through it and you'll be fine. Click through the thumbnails above and hit us on Twitter with your favorite Teen Drama film. Love this list? See more like it on Highsnobiety.com.
1. The Breakfast Club
It's no surprise that The Breakfast Club kicks this list off. Hailed as one of the best teen films ever, this dramedy from John Hughes is totally relatable as well as being highly fantasized. When a jock, prom queen, nerd, drop-out, and loner all end up with Saturday detention in their school library, an unlikely friendship forms as the five get to know each other. Starring Molly Ringwald and a who's who of popular actors of the time known as the "Brat Pack," the film defined youth in the '80s and is still just as relevant nearly thirty years on. Watch the trailer here.
2. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Written by director Cameron Crowe and based on his infamous stint as an undercover reporter in a San Diego high school, the film chronicles a year in the life of multiple students at Ridgemont High. Sean Penn's turn as spaced-out-surfer Jeff Spicoli is eternalized in movie history forever and has kept the film a classic. Featuring the best (and worst) bits of high school, the cast goes through daily woes that only a teenager can truly understand. The film unofficially set off the '80s Valley teen comedy trend and remains one of the best examples to date. Check out the trailer here.
3. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Another John Hughes classic, Ferris Bueller's Day Off shot Matthew Broderick to fame and was a hit with its off-kilter direct-to-camera delivery style. The film was hugely popular most likely due to its premise around one of the biggest plots of teenage-dom: how to successfully pull off a sick day. The film has Ferris skipping school only to borrow his best friend's dad's Ferrari, get his girlfriend out of school, head to downtown Chicago, and catch a baseball game — all while his principal tries to catch him in the act. Ferris manages to pull it all off and has since become a legend in the eyes of high-school kids the world over. Watch the trailer here.
4. Dazed and Confused
Dazed and Confused is one of those movies that you can watch over and over again, where you know the characters so well they feel like old friends. Set during the last day of school in summer 1976, a diverse group of teenagers look for something to do in Austin. The large ensemble cast worked to the film's advantage, covering almost all high school stereotypes and allowing their interactions to be the basis of the film. Featuring a ton of actors before they hit the big time, including Matthew McConaughey and Ben Affleck, Dazed and Confused is a real legend in the high-school movie world.
5. Empire Records
Empire Records captured the '90s zeitgeist with a story about a group of teenagers working in the coolest record store in town. With their beloved record store threatened, the mixed group is brought together by their love of music and their desire to "damn the man, save the Empire." By weaving each character's personal dramas in amongst the main plot line, Empire Records teaches you to root for the underdog, in every sense of the phrase. Check out the trailer here.
6. 10 Things I Hate About You
Based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, 10 Things I Hate About You was an unconventional teen drama that became a massive success due to its offbeat characters. Introducing Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles in their breakout roles, the film praised individuality and being true to oneself, making it a standout in the world of teen movies. Heath Ledger's memorable rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" doesn't hurt either. Watch it above and check out the trailer here.
7. Ghost World
An adaptation of Daniel Clowes' comic book of the same name, Ghost World tells the story of Enid and Rebecca, two teenage outsiders and their lives post-high school. The quirky and darkly humorous film provides a realistic look at being an outcast, whether in high school or later in life, and although wickedly funny has a strong message behind it all. Watch the trailer here.
8. Donnie Darko
Donnie Darko is a fantasized take on teenage life, as the story of a troubled teenager who has visions of a giant bunny and the end of the world. Catapulting Jake Gyllenhaal's career and produced by Drew Barrymore's production company, the dark sci-fi drama was a surprise success. Whether Donnie's story is realistic or not, the feelings of being an outsider and the desperate ambition of teachers and parents around you is something every teenager can relate to.
9. Juno
Juno earned a cult following and high critical praise when it was released and for good reason. The unusual storyline of a young teenage girl dealing with a pregnancy was cast perfectly with Ellen Page in the titular role. The sharp, witty writing and highly-ironic humor earned Diablo Cody an Oscar for Best Screenplay and Page a nomination for Best Actress. Not entirely realistic in its portrayal of teenage-hood, Juno's appeal was how it enacted exactly the way teenagers wished they could talk and act in moments of dire awkwardness.
10. The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Based on the bestselling novel, The Perks of Being a Wallflower was a success both on screen and off. Set during the early '90s, the film follows three teens as they go through high school and face the inescapable pains of growing up. Emma Watson and Ezra Miller both star and succeed in being genuine and relatable to a young audience, while the film being both funny and sad portrays a realistic look at high school life.

BHSN curriculum progresses logically and prepares students to achieve program outcomes. Students must meet all course requirements to advance to the next course. Student advancement from Level I to Level II Nursing courses is sequential and requires prerequisite and /or co-requisite non-nursing courses. All course requirements must be successfully completed in the prescribed order according to the curriculum plan.
Level I students begin to develop core knowledge and nursing theory. The co-requisite non-nursing courses, Anatomy and Physiology, Introduction to Psychology, and Child Psychology enhance the students' perception of the physiological and psychosocial integrity of individuals across the lifespan. English composition, a pre-requisite to Level I, improves students' written communication and helps to develop the students' critical thinking skills.
Nursing courses in Level I help students focus on the fundamentals of nursing care. Students use the nursing process to practice a variety of nursing roles, with an emphasis on the teacher, advocate and caregiver. Students care for clients exhibiting needs in health preservation or common threats to physiological or psychosocial integrity. As students progress through Level I, their focus extends to caring for the childbearing family and clients with medical-surgical problems.
Level II students continue to build on their core knowledge of sciences. Here, the study of Microbiology increases biological knowledge, but also broadens the students' scope of information related to environmental response and care, and health and healing. Areas of social responsibility are further developed through the study of Sociology enhancing students' knowledge about the psychosocial nature of humans. A course in Effective Speaking improves the ability of students to communicate within groups, cultivating and reinforcing collaborative practice.
Nursing courses focus on care of clients with increasingly complex alterations in physiological and psychosocial integrity. Therapeutic communication skills are refined through the experience of interacting with clients with psychopathology. The Level II student develops the ability to manage client care by delegating to and collaborating with members of the health care team in a variety of settings. Level II concludes with clinical experiences in specialized areas of practice.

My kitchen cabinet hinge is broken. I want to replace it, but not really sure how because it is attached to the cabinet door without any screw (1). Anyone know a proper way to detach the hinge?

Home Improvement Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for contractors and serious DIYers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I believe that flat metal plate against the door is a cover that will pry off. You'll find screws underneath.
Try using a kit like this to pop off the metal plate, then you can find screws to remove it from the door. The advantage of the nylon kit is that it won't mark up the door (or hinge).
Apparently, this is a special hinge that doesn't require screw in the door flap. Similiar to the one shown in this video http://youtu.be/NCpoKo2INog
That metal plate is a clip that can be easily pried off, by using screwdriver for example. After the clip is opened, the "tweezers" (red circles in image 1) will loosen and the hinge can now be easily detached from the door.

Urban Roots
The industrial powerhouse of a lost American era has died, and the skeleton left behind is present-day Detroit. But now, against all odds in the empty lots, in the old factory yards, and in-between the sad, sagging blocks of company housing, seeds of change are taking root. A small group of dedicated citizens, allied with environmental and academic groups, have started an urban environmental movement with the potential to transform not just a city after its collapse, but also a country after the end of its industrial age.

On September 6, the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment approved a deal valued at approximately $7.1 billion allowing China's Shuanghui International Holdings Ltd (Shuanghui Group) to officially take ownership of Smithfield, Virginia-based Smithfield Foods Inc., the world's largest pork producer. Shuanghui had already purchased all of Smithfield's stock back in May for approximately $4.72 billion. "The deal, which would be the biggest purchase of a U.S. company by a Chinese firm, still needs shareholder approval at a special meeting scheduled for September 24," according to Reuters. Shuanghui announced that Smithfield would be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange after the takeover was complete.
One thing that Reuters and other Western media fail to mention is that Shuanghui International Holdings is controlled by the Communist Party of China.

Toulouse is almost entirely built with red brick, hence its nickname, "the pink city". The city has some magnificent sights, and is characterized by a scent of violets.
Toulouse is a city in the South of France with a population of about 600,000. It is an industrial centre with a number of important companies, such as Concorde and Airbus. The Saint-Sernin Basilica, which is the biggest Romanesque church in western Europe, is certainly worth a visit. Other sights include the St. Etienne Cathedral and the Place du Capitole, with its beautiful town hall and theatre.
While you are in Toulouse, you must certainly go for a stroll around one of the many open-air markets, which are ideal if you are looking for an unforgettable souvenir. The Hôtel de Bemuy, the Musée des Augustins and the large number of private houses built in the Renaissance style are also worth a visit. Not far from Toulouse, there is the city of Carcassonne, a magnificent medieval walled city.

I am making a raspberry smoothie using raspberry yogurt. I am at somewhat of a loss as to what other fruit to add for a nice combination.
For example, coconut and pineapple go excellent together.
What fruits would be best to pair with raspberry?
I know this ventures into the subjective realm a bit, but I think there are some definitive pairings and some obvious wrong answers.

I know others have built similar torch coolers but I thought I'd post up how I built mine on a true budget. I just finished it this evening and I've still got some detail work to do in order to finish it up.
First off, I purchased a set up off ebay. I paid $35 for the assembly and about $16 for shipping. I've been in the restaurant business for about 25 years so I am intimately familar with this setup. It was an old soft drink carbonator machine and included the motor, carbonator pump (brass Procon) and carbonator tank. I really didn't need the carbonator tank but I figured I'd include it in the set up since it increases the water capacity by about 1/2 gallon.
A side note here. When buying this type of unit it's important to know if you are getting a carbonator pump or a circulating pump. The difference is that a carbonator pump is made of brass and is a high pressure pump (125 psi or so). A circulator pump is stainless steel (you can not use a brass pump to circulate carbonated water) and has lower pressure (about 60 psi).
My pump is adjustable (some are and some aren't) so I put a pressure guage on it and adjusted it down to 50 psi which is at the lower end of the pumps adjustment range without changing or cutting the spring.
Next I went down to the local restaurant equipment junk yard and found an old salad display case refigeration unit that had been parted. They had cut the tubing about 1/2 from the end of the condensor coil so it couldn't be re-used. They guy went ahead and gave me the, dual 10 row, condensor coils with base attached. It was just the right size to fit over a stainless pan that he had laying around and it looks like it holds about 2.5 gallons of water. The pan cost me $10.
Next I went to Home depot and bought a bunch of fittings and hose to hook up the pump and condensor coil then hooked it up to the welder.
The biggest problem I had was finding the right fittings. Lowes and Home Depot don't have a big selection so I had to get a little "kludgy" with some of the connections. I was obligated to use 1/4" I.D. hose from the output of the carbonator tank to the welder since the 1/4 nipple was already on the welder. Since the fitting on the welder is reverse thread I could not easily change that without a trip to the welding supply store.
Anyway, here are a bunch of pictures that show the unit set up on a small table that I use as a welding table for now. It's a stainless unit and pretty short which I like since I like to sit down to weld whenever possible. The table was $100 form the same restaurant salvage yard. That's probably a little expensive for a welding table but it's cheap for a restaurant equipment table.
Here is a shot of the overall unit. The carbonator tanks adds quite a bit of height to the unit and I may remove it later if I decide to make a cover for the unit
Here is a closer view of the unit. The smaller, 1/4 I.D tubing is going to the welder and the water return from the welder is shown going to the condensor
At the bottom of the condensor you can see the drain setup. I just used some compression fitting to tie the vinyl tubing to the copper tubing on the condensor. You can also see the 3/8" I.D. reinforced hose feeding the pump. I made a bulkhead fitting that holds a tube that goes to the bottom of the resevoir
This is the "kludgy" adapter setup I had to use to convert the 3/8" I.D tubing to the clear vinyl 1/4" vinyl tubing. I will try and find a 3/8" - 1/4" nipple fitting and remove this adapter.
On the carbonator tank you can also see the pressure relief valve which pops at about 150 psi or so. The other unused fitting is where the CO2 is supplied. There is a check valve in there so it doesn't need to be capped. Besides, if I want to supply carbonated water to the torch all I need to do is add a CO2 tank. I think the piece in the middle is for the rod inside the tank that guides the float. In a soda system, there is a switch that activates when the carbonated tank is full of water and shuts off the motor.

Building a Tig Cooler
Building a Tig Cooler (cont.)
This picture shows the motor and the unique wiring. The pigtail goes to a switch in the soda system that turns the motor on/off. I've installed a connector and used a jumper so the motor will run. My plan is to use a solid state switch and tap the solenoid on the welder. I know this is not the recommended method, but I don't want to have the pump motor run all the time. This way, the motor will only run when the contactors are closed with the foot pedal.
Here is the cooler on top of the Dialarc HF. I will be taking it apart to clean everything up and secure the pump assembly to the pan. I will also use some Adel clamps to secure the water lines and motor cord to the side of the welder. I've still got to make up some hangers to support the torch and ground cable when not in use.
If anyone has any questions about this set-up I'll be glad to try and answer them if I can.
looks like a realy nice setup. you have any plans of adding a fan to help cool it?? just thinking if you close that in the motor will create some heat and may end up heating the water insted of colling if the condensor coils dont have moveing fresh air acrost them.thanks for the help
hope i helped

Many condenser coils have steel tubing on units like that. Is yours? If so,
rust could be a problem. A good set up can be made with a discarded
dehumidifier.........most have alum evaporator and a fan comes with
i got a truck heater core from auto zone for a lil under $20 , its all copper so should be no problems and it was a good price and size i thought.
i am also using a small fan with a home built shroud to insure good cooling capasity.thanks for the help

Thanks for that reminder.
stainless would be a better option...too many diferent metals= strange problems later. I have a homemade one with it's own weird set of problems one being aluminum and copper and brass and hi-freek all together.
I hope this unit serves you well. As long as you are not in the biz of mfging these for folks I'd say you'll be fine anyhow...mines been working prolly 20 yrs or better now and I use car antifreeze also. Been waiting a LLOOOONNNNGGGG time for that torch to plug up so I can buy a new flexhead.
i was just wondering as it looked like you might be hooked up to a larg welder with high amps output, mine only has 185 to ofer so its not as big a deal.
also many use anty freeze in there coolers no problems, i supose it would keep the rust under controle but it would not hurt to incorperate some form of filtration just to be on the safe side.thanks for the help

The Military versus the Politicians on Torture
This Washington Post op-ed by two retired generals, Charles C. Krulak and Joseph P. Hoar, appropriately titled, "It's Our Cage Too," shows that the Petraeus letter condemning torture was hardly an isolated example. Put simply: The military gets it; our political leaders don't. The American people are understandably fearful about another attack like the one we sustained on Sept. 11, 2001. But it is the duty of the commander in chief to lead the country away from the grip of fear, not into its grasp. Regrettably, at Tuesday night's presidential debate in South Carolina, several Republican candidates revealed a stunning failure to understand this most basic obligation. Indeed, among the candidates, only John McCain demonstrated that he understands the close connection between our security and our values as a nation. These assertions that "torture works" may reassure a fearful public, but it is a false security. We don't know what's been gained through this fear-driven program. But we do know the consequences. To understand the impact this has had on the ground, look at the military's mental health assessment report released earlier this month. The study shows a disturbing level of tolerance for abuse of prisoners in some situations. This underscores what we know as military professionals: Complex situational ethics cannot be applied during the stress of combat. The rules must be firm and absolute; if torture is broached as a possibility, it will become a reality.

It is difficult to refute this claim -- not because it is self-evidently true, but because any evidence that might support it remains classified and unknown to all but those who defend the program.
These assertions that "torture works" may reassure a fearful public, but it is a false security. We don't know what's been gained through this fear-driven program. But we do know the consequences.As has happened with every other nation that has tried to engage in a little bit of torture -- only for the toughest cases, only when nothing else works -- the abuse spread like wildfire, and every captured prisoner became the key to defusing a potential ticking time bomb. Our soldiers in Iraq confront real "ticking time bomb" situations every day, in the form of improvised explosive devices, and any degree of "flexibility" about torture at the top drops down the chain of command like a stone -- the rare exception fast becoming the rule.
To understand the impact this has had on the ground, look at the military's mental health assessment report released earlier this month. The study shows a disturbing level of tolerance for abuse of prisoners in some situations. This underscores what we know as military professionals: Complex situational ethics cannot be applied during the stress of combat. The rules must be firm and absolute; if torture is broached as a possibility, it will become a reality.
Hillary Clinton is pro-torture too. See http://www.cantonrep.com/index.php?ID=314594. Can we reasonably expect the next president, whoever he or she may be, to relinquish the dictatorial powers that Congress has allowed Bush to seize?
Putting aside the ongoing labeling argument here about what constitutes "torture," I would like to revisit the issue of the efficacy of coercive interrogation techniques.
While the left was falling all over itself praising George Tenet's new book as another attack on Mr. Bush, they appear to have ignored Mr. Tenet's discussion of the very high effectiveness of coercive interrogation as an intelligence gathering tool:
A CIA program to administer aggressive interrogations to top Al Qaeda leaders brought America more valuable information about planned terror plots than all of the government's other intelligence gathering efforts, a former director of central intelligence, George Tenet, has declared.
Mr. Tenet said the program was needed to deal with threats that emerged after September 11, 2001, including reports that there might be nuclear bombs in New York.
"I know that this program has saved lives. I know we've disrupted plots," Mr. Tenet said in a "60 Minutes" interview set to air Sunday before the release of his new book. "I know this program alone is worth more than the FBI, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency put together have been able to tell us," he said.
Mr. Tenet, who led the CIA between 1997 and 2004, defended the aggressive interrogations as appropriate to deal with figures such as the reputed mastermind of the 2001 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The former director said Mr. Mohammed initially rebuffed questioning by saying, "I'll talk to you guys when you take me to New York and I can see my lawyer."
al Qaeda is not stupid. They know how our system works and they game it. It would be the height of irresponsibility to extend a civilian right to silence to the military enemy architect of 9/11 who has nearly complete knowledge of the identity, location and plans of al Qaeda cells around the work.
The GOP candidates and the American people are using their God given common sense when they support using every measure short of actual torture - the intentional infliction of severe pain - to gain the necessary intelligence to defeat the enemy.
Can you say the same about the Dem candidates?
Your belief that al-Qaeda war criminals are tortured at Gitmo is absurd. Sleep deprivation and water boarding do not constitute torture. If you want to know what torture actually is, I devoted a couple of posts over at napoleon15.blogspot.com to the subject.
Napoleon15, interesting that you don't consider waterboarding torture. After the Khmer Rouge left power, a musem was built in memorial to the wide range of atrocities he committed on the poeple of Cambodia. The only device they chose to indicate the horrors of the torture was one, the water board. Could you please show your posts to the people of Cambodia, who suffered more mightily than many populations ever do at the hands of the Khmer and help them to understand a little more about how uninformed they are about torture, and why the water board is not a torture technique?
Bart's problem is summed up in these words:
The GOP candidates and the American people are using their God given common sense when they support using every measure short of actual torture - the intentional infliction of severe pain - to gain the necessary intelligence to defeat the enemy.
If you thought you were going to die while suffering physical restraint, would that not inflict severe pain to you?
Also, why are all these successes still classified? Al-Qaeda has long known that KSM rolled. Any plots tied to his knowledge would have been aborted by now, or changes so that he could not reveal any useful details to us. Yet we only hear about plots (imagined or not) foiled through ordinary detective work (though some by plotters who would have a hard time breaking out of a wet recycled paper bag).
Come on, you've got ties to these people (at least they send you your talking points), so you or they should be able to tell us how they've saved us, without compromising anything that would actually protect us.
And answer, please.
You could even go to the alternate thread on torture and answer, because you have several unanswered questions waiting for you there.
To those who claim torture is so effective that it can not be returned to the bottle, remind yourself who it is who has worked most effectively to reign in this Administration's policies of secret torture and warrantless surveillance - the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Here's the backstory behind Comey's race with Gonzales to Ashcroft's hospital room.
A February 2006 Newsweek feature exposing the rift within DOJ over torture and warrantless wiretapping: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11079547/site/newsweek / .
Only now, long after it happened, is there a real public spotlight on the governmental rebellion against the warrantless surveillance program. Because of its obvious dramatic appeal, our attention is drawn to the uprising at DOJ in 2004. But, its epicenter was elsewhere and the rebellion started earlier. It didn't start at DOJ.
Jack Goldsmith is a major player in these events. Goldsmith, who was in the Pentagon General Counsel's office before moving over to Main Justice, was carrying out a mandate that came from the highest levels of the JCS and NSA to put a halt to John Yoo's torture policies and Richard Addington's warrantless surveillance programs. The top brass, in quite plain terms, wanted out of those lines of business.
May I offer the proposition that the salutory changes that Goldsmith brought to DOJ wasn't just one man's influence, but that he carried the consensus message with him of the Joint Chiefs, DIA, and NSA about the suitability for continued command of the Bush-Cheney Administration.
Most immediately, the loss of confidence by the Generals was due to the Iraq War, but as the military knows, the failure of the occupation was just an outcome of some extremely ill-founded political decisions. If there is a date to be attached, it was May 28, 2003, when the Iraq Survey Group (not to be confused with the later Iraq Study Group) released its interim report that concluded that WMDs were not present inside Iraq, leaving the reader to question the sources of information that had been promoted by the Office of the Vice President received from Dougie Feith's Office of Special Plans (OSP). DIA and CIA quickly identified an agent of influence and espionage ring as the source. The Larry Franklin-AIPAC-OSP prosecution and the appointment of US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald to investigate and prosecute Dick Cheney's outing of Valerie Plame was the response.
That prosecutorial initiative, I would suggest, came from within the Pentagon, without which neither case would ever have been prosecuted, and we would now be knee-deep in blood and rubble in Iran.

En español | Just four days before undergoing a life-or-death surgery to remove the cancer that has spread to her lungs, Edith Littlefield Sundby (Edie to friends) is doing her very favorite things. She attends a 7:30 a.m. service at St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, down the street from her home north of San Diego. There, she sits in the same place as always, next to the stained-glass window portraying Jesus in the olive garden. Afterward, she walks to the yoga center nearby, where she's studied for 24 years. Later, for the 30th time, she listens to Belleruth Naparstek's Successful Surgery CD. "It's very hypnotic, with guided imagery and affirmations," says Edie. "Every time I listen, I get more relaxed and accepting. Where I am now is, I'm actually looking forward to the surgery."

It is likely that Edie's thoracic surgeon will have to remove her entire right lung, vastly diminishing her breathing capacity and her ability to tolerate vigorous exercise. As a result, the 61-year-old, who has lived five years longer than doctors predicted when they told her she had stage IV cancer in 2007, decides she will end her day with what could be a final hike.
Wearing a turquoise T-shirt, leggings and hiking boots, Edie sets off on a mile-long stretch of seaweed-strewn beach beneath the majestic coral-colored cliffs and canyons of Torrey Pines state park. Her iPod earbuds tucked in beneath the tendrils of her pixie cut, she seems to glide over the sand. Her husband of 37 years, Dale Sundby, a technology entrepreneur, reaches out and takes her hand, keeping up with her brisk clip. "Edie's natural rhythm is always go, always energetic," he explains later. "She doesn't know any other way."
Her doctors use words like outlier, statistical anomaly, even miracle, to describe Edie, although they admit they are seeing more people with advanced cancer survive much longer than predicted. Throughout her disease, Edie has refused to give up, pushing herself and her medical team to fight, both uncommonly and aggressively. When Joseph Shrager, M.D., warned her that there was a 5 percent chance she wouldn't survive the removal of her lung — and that she'd subsequently be lucky to walk a flat mile — she told him to just go for it. "The risk for me is not going for it," she says. "And who knows? Maybe with the right music or with a different attitude or by just sauntering instead of bounding up the canyon, I'll still be able to do this afterward."
It wouldn't be the first time Edie has proved the doubters wrong. With Elvis Presley's "Only Believe" blaring in her ears, she hustles up the rocky stairway leading from the beach into the park above. At the top she turns and scans the horizon, an orange fireball of a sun diving toward the water. "Gosh, what a glorious day!" Edie exclaims. "I've been doing this hike a dozen years, and it's still a magical ritual for me. The minute I hit the sand, I feel bliss. This is how I heal."
Her voice dips to a whisper. "Ever since I came down with this catastrophic disease, I talk faster and much more," she says. "The reason is, I've got a lot to say — a lot of feelings." Her eyes moisten. "Cancer has heightened everything."
Edie, who had always described herself as "arrogantly healthy," attributed her lower-back discomfort and diarrhea to a parasite. It was March 2007, and she'd just returned to Southern California from Chennai, India, where she and one of her identical-twin daughters, Stefanie, then 18, had spent five weeks volunteering at an elementary school.
She paid a visit to a doctor, who, confirming she had a parasite, also checked to see if there was anything else. Ten days and several tests later, he summoned Edie back to his office. She was alone: Stefanie was at work; her other daughter, Whitney, was in college at Stanford University; and Dale was in Ukraine launching a new business. "You have some things going on in your abdominal area," the doctor began, "and it looks like cancer."
Next: Edie gets the news that she has three months to live. »
