Online Colleges: Expert Interviews
Rebecca Cowles Swanson, PhD, Associate Vice Provost, Distance and Distributed Education (DELTA), North Carolina State University
Q. Can you provide an overview of your top degree program(s)?
North Carolina State University's Distance Education program fulfills its land grant mission by offering access to learning opportunities to students wherever located. Our online programs focus on the university's strengths in graduate level education in the STEM disciplines. Online programs include Engineering Online, ranked in the Top 10 Engineering programs by US News & World Report. The program includes 15 master's degrees in disciplines ranging from Aerospace Engineering to Nanoengineering. NC State's Online MBA program, ranked #9 in US News & World Report's Online MBA programs, offers an innovative curriculum for leadership and management with a global, technological focus.
Q. What advice do you have for prospective students about choosing an online program?
Take time to carefully consider whether or not this is the right program for your personal and professional goals. Explore the program website; attend virtual or campus information sessions; and email, call or visit with admissions counselors and program leaders. Also, consider your availability for completion of an online program, factoring your life responsibilities along with work and other time commitments.
Q. What are your thoughts on the future of online learning?
Current trends indicate most people will change careers several times in their lifetime. Online education, with schedule flexibility options, provides opportunity for students to obtain new skills or prepare for a new career with minimal disruption to their work and life circumstances.
William Rivenbark, Program Director for the Master of Public Administration program, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
Q. Can you provide an overview your top degree program(s)?
The UNC-Chapel Hill Master of Public Administration program is ranked sixth nationally in the specialty area of city management. Designed to prepare graduates for leadership, the MPA program combines rigorous academic study with practical experience. Launched in 2013, the online format (MPA@UNC) is designed for working professionals and others who require flexibility and want to remain in their current communities or organizations while pursuing a degree.
Q. What advice do you have for prospective students about choosing an online program?
For prospective students considering any graduate program, whether on campus or online, I'd strongly encourage them to select a program that delivers on two levels: it is designed to directly support its mission and it educates you for the career you envision. For those interested in studies offered online, effective time management and self-motivation are critical. But students should also understand that "online" does not always equal "undemanding." MPA@UNC is taught with live, online face-to-face instruction by the same School of Government faculty teaching on-campus courses. While flexibility is a bonus, it's important to keep in mind that the rigor and pace will match that of the program's on-campus format.
Q. What are your thoughts on the future of online learning?
Online programs can be an excellent option for students looking to further their education but are unable to relocate to do so. Our MPA@UNC students live and work in communities across the country. They are a diverse group who work in public service settings in local, state, and federal government; nonprofit organizations; the US military. But they all share a common goal and vision to reach their own leadership potential through furthering their education in public administration. Academic programs that can provide that opportunity and flexibility without compromising learning quality or the true educational experience are essential for higher education institutions that want to succeed in the online space.

That is very difficult to answer. Best in what regards? Multiple locations, great service, a cool snack bar in the lobby? Their fees are mostly regulated by the state. The wording in the title insurance is also predefined.
I use different title companies all over Houston, but my title company selections revolve around a great closer and excellent support staff that help walk the transaction to closing. Issues always come up, but a calm crew at the title company can help get any problem taken care of.
Experience counts and a good bed side manner does not hurt with buyers and sellers that are emotionally taxed and more than ready to get the transaction closed!

I am a fairly new rider with a decent wad of cash to spend. I am looking at a bike with a recon silver 29 tk fork and another with a reba rlt. I am curious if this Reba is going to be too much maintenance for me. I want a fork that will last a long time with little maintenance. I am fine with getting the local bike shop to get them to help me set up the reba but I really want something that I am going to be able to just have set up and leave it alone. Which one is more durable. I would like to be able to keep the forks for a while and not continue dumping money into forks. I would imagine there is about a one pound difference between the two which doesnt seem like much. I right now ride on a pair of rst Gila forks and they seem just fine. I have no idea which fork is for me. I can't just test them out.

St Stephen's Basilica
St Stephen's Basilica is the largest church in Budapest, and the most important Catholic church. It was completed in 1905, but construction started already 50 years earlier. When the dome collapsed during a storm in 1868 the whole building had to be demolished and work started from the ground again. The church is built in neoclassic style. Statues on the exterior shows the twelve Apostles, the four Evangelists etc. The interior is decorated with work of arts made by 19th century Hungarian artists.
The church is open every day, but not in the morning on Saturdays and Sundays.
In summertime you can climb the steps (or take the elevator) to see the view from top of the dome, but it was closed in February when I was there.

Holy Right Chapel
The Holy Right is believed to be the mummified right hand of St Stephen (King Stephen I was canonised 1083, about 50 years after his death). The relic is behind glass and in darkness. To see it better you can put a 100 ft coin in a machine and there will be light for a while in the glass casket.
The Holy Right Chapel is to the left in St Stephen?s Basilica, behind the main altar.

Szent Istvan ter - square in front of the Basilica
The reconstruction of the St Stephens Basilica was finished recently and the square in front of the Basilica also got a new "design" with a very nice pattern. Worth to wlak around a bit and see the details before enterint the Basilica itself!
The Beautiful Lady
In 1810 charity offers began to be collected in purpose of building the Basilica, although the building up was started only on the 14th of Aug, 1851 according the plans of Jozsef Hild. He led the constructions till his dead (1867). Then Miklos Ybl (architect of the Opera House) took over his job, till his dead. The finishing touches were made in 1905 by Jozsef Kauser.
On the 22nd of Jan, 1868 the cupola collapsed because of the quality of the building materials that were received as a gift. Construction paused for a year because of reconstruction.
Don't miss the cupola visit!
Start out from the beautiful square in from of the Basilica, then do the tour inside (no need for a guide, just walk arond and watch the details! :), and do_not miss the visit to the cupola!!
If you are facing the entrance, you will find the stairs on the right hand side of the main door. There is also an elevator going up.
The cupola offers a great view of the Pest side (including the Parlament, and the old stock exchange building on Szabadság tér, which is now the main building of the Hungarian National TV). You can also see the Buda side landmarks from a very diferent point of view. It's worth, that's it! :)
Whole tour including chuch, treasury, "Saint Right" - the hand of our 1st King St Stephan and the cupola - 1500 Ft, starting tours: 9:30, 11:00, 14:00, 15:30 on weekdays, Saturday: 9:30, Sunday: 15:30, but you can simply enter the chuch or the cupola any time until 18:00 PM (price of the cupola alone is around 400 Ft).
The second biggest Basilica in the world
This neo-renaissance and classicist church is said to be second in size to St. Peter's in Rome and can allegedly hold 8.500 people. Although not a basilica in the technical sense of the word, but Hungarians like to call "the Basilica" in honor of its sheer size.
The cathedral has a height of 96 metres - exactly the same as the Parliament building. It took over 50 years to build it according to the design of Hild and Ybl. It was completed in 1905.
The bust above the main entrance is of St. Stephen, Hungary's first Christian king.
Inside the church, to the left of the Main Altar in the Holy Right Chapel you can see Hungarian Catholicism's most precious treasure, the mummified right fist of St. Stephen. On 20th August every year the Holy Right is carried around the city in a procession.
In 2003 a full-scale eight years renovation of the church and neighboring square was completed, and now the cleaned-up front of the church graces the colorful and grand St. Stephen square, where travelers sip their coffee in open-air cafes.
You can visit the viewing platform above the cupola from where, needless to say, you can admire one of Budapest's best panoramic views. The platform is open only between 1st April to 31st October.
Notice: The renovation incl. the square was organized by me and my company from 1998.
Daily Mass is held at 7:00am and 8:00am at the Holy Right Chapel, and 5:30am and 6:00pm in the Basilica
Sunday Mass at 8:00, 9:00, and 10:00am, noon, and 6:00 and 7:30pm.
Open: 9:00am - 5:00pm every day, in winter: 10:00am - 4:00pm
Price 1600 HUF/ 6 € for an adult, 800 HUF/3 € for Senior (62+) and students

St Stephan on horseback
Created by Alajos Stróbl the statue of the state-founding king St Stephan on horseback was unveiled in Buda Castle in 1906. The king is wearing the Hungarian Holy Crown and has a golden halo; he is waving his sceptre over the people in blessing.
It is Budapest the largest church. It is located in the center of the Pest. The exterior suggests its clear interior layout. Construction began in 1848b to Josef Hilds neo-classical plans. After his death Milkos took over construction in his renaissance version
St. Stephens Basicila - Budapest
When traveling through Euorpe I automatically think that all of the Basicila's are very old. So I was at first amazed at the beauty and condition of this great church when I first saw it. Later, as I toured the building, I found out that is was not really all that old. It was completed in 1905 making it reletively new in comparison to some of the other Basicilia's I have seen. It is the largest cathedral in Budapest and like many other buildings suffered some damage during World War II. However it remained structurally intact and has been renovated back to its original condition.
The most tresured relic in Hungary is found in this cathedral. It is the mumified hand of Saint Stephen. It is on display in an ancient glass box in a small room near the back of the cathedral. In no offence to my Catholic friends here on Vt or the people of Budapest, when I was finally able to view the relic all I could see was some lacy looking object that looked like a glove Michael Jackson might have worn in one of his old videos.
Time to move inside the Basilica, so I shuffle in amongst the crowd, to a rather darkish interior, although, once my eyes adjusted to the dim light, then I could see just how large this Basilica was. Wow! Imagine 8,500 people filling this Church!
The inside is stunning, and know wonder, as it was Hungary's most well-known sculptors and painters who were called upon to decorate the interior. Fifty different types of marble, stucco, gold leaf, elaborately decorated chapels, and many sculptures. The bust of the basilica's patron saint, who was the first Christian king of Hungary has prime position next to the Altar.
The Basilica is free to enter [ DONATIONS APPRECIATED]
Guided tours of the Basilica are also available Monday through Friday between 10 am and 3 pm
Adult:..1.600,- HUF/person (or 1.100,-HUF/person without visit the look-out)

St. Stephan's Basilica
St. Stephen's Basilica is named for the first King of Hungary. The King's mummified hand is in the basilica and is taken out during the festival of St. Stephen.
The building itself is very impressive with a beautiful dome. We noticed this large structure from some locations in Budapest such as Fisherman's Bastion and Gellert Hill.

Inside the Basilica
The internal of the basilica is just fantastic. The biggest masters of that period worked on the decoration for decades. The two most beautiful paintigs are:
1. Saint Stephen offers Hungary to Virgin Mary-painted by Gyula Benczúr and you find it on the right side o fthe Basilica
2. Christ on the Calvary hill- work by Gyula Stettka- visible on the opposite side.
On this page you can see all the other important paintings, statues of the Basilica.
Of course the main sight of the basilica is the huge cupola richly ornated with mosaics and of course gold.
By the way the gold is present everywhere in the Basilica, just look at these images-->

Give the saint a hand (oops)
St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika) is one of the dominant features of the Budapest skyline. It is of course dedicated to the patron saint and in fact it is his figure that you see above the high altar inside. It underwent a clean up in 2003 and the area around it as well so that now in front is the nice Szent Istvan ter with sidewalk cafes, etc. One of the things that is unusual about this church is that it houses the purported right hand of St. Stephen. It sits in a chapel all its own and is contained in an elaborate, jeweled cathedral shaped box. Entrance to the chapel and viewing is free and for a few coins (maybe 1) you can get a light to turn on a light over it for a couple of minutes and you can get a photo.

St. Stephen's
The Basilica honors Saint Stephen, the first king of Hungary and the ruler most responsible for bringing Christendom to present day Hungary.
The basilica was only finished in 1905 after substantial delays in the 54 year construction. More than anything else the biggest delay was due to the dome collapsing.
Though it doesn't seem that big, the basilica can fit about 8,500 people (they didn't say comfortably).
The reliquary contains the hand of St Stephen (didn't see this)
BEWARE- there is a lady that will tell you it costs money to enter, she is talking about the trip up to the top of the belltower. the basilica is free.

St. Stephen's Basilica.
When looking from the Buda castle on the Pest side there are only two tall buildings: The St. Stephen's Basilica and the Hungarian Parliament Building. Both are exactly 96 m high and taller buildings are not allowed in Budapest.
The architectural style is Neo-Classical with an imposing dome and two large bell towers; it was built in the second half of the 19th c.
The façade is not a banal one but I wouldn't say I felt very enthusiast.
Between St. Stephen's Basilica and the Hungarian Parliament Building, built in the same period of time, my preference clearly goes to the neo-gothic Parliament.

DENVER, Nov. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Summary: The Colorado Telehealth Network (CTN) signed a contract today with GNAX Health to enable health care providers in Colorado to safely store and share medical images. GNAX Health is partnering with Acuo Technologies and Client Outlook to provide vendor-neutral archiving services and diagnostic-quality medical image viewing as part of the service.
The Colorado Telehealth Network (CTN) developed a program that will enable hospitals, imaging centers, clinics and other health care providers in Colorado to safely store and share medical images through a private cloud hosted and managed by GNAX Health on CTN. CTN and GNAX Health are working with the Colorado Regional Health Information Organization (CORHIO) and Quality Health Network (QHN)—the two Colorado Health Information Exchanges—to image-enable their physician portals so that images and diagnostic reports will be available through the HIEs. GNAX Health will also allow CTN to offer disaster recovery and business continuity solutions. In addition, electronic medical records (EMRs) can be integrated with the infrastructure to provide physicians a single interface for viewing all medical images, which is a requirement for Stage 2 Meaningful Use.
Nine CHA member hospitals worked with CTN over the past eight months to develop the imaging program with input from hospitals across Colorado. After a thorough RFI process and evaluation of five solutions, CTN selected a solution provided by GNAX Health through a strategic alliance with Acuo Technologies and Client Outlook. The unique requirements of the CTN program required a specific set of capabilities that is best addressed through this strategic alliance. Several use cases—such as the ability to search, retrieve and exchange medical image studies federated across CTN and view images quickly from the cloud—led to this best-of-breed approach.
"This pioneering agreement between CTN, GNAX, Acuo Technologies and Client Outlook further solidifies our network as a national leader in health information technology and connectivity," comments Ed Bostick, CTN Executive Director. "We are confident this new image-storing service has the functionality and advantages our clients deserve, and promises to significantly enhance patient care coordination and quality across Colorado."
The solution combines Acuo's Universal Clinical Platform (UCP) with Client Outlook's eUnity clinical image visualization, sharing and collaboration toolset, hosted within GNAX's health care-focused cloud infrastructure and tier-4 data centers—all supported by a cohesive customer support program. This collective solution provides necessary components critical to building a statewide vendor neutral archive and, subsequently, a highly secure disaster recovery and business continuity solution for medical imaging without the infrastructure and costs associated with a traditional model.
GNAX Health is also providing a web-based image exchange service for CTN, called SDEX (Secure DICOM Exchange) that is integrated into the foundation of Acuo's UCP and utilizes the Client Outlook viewer. It meets the challenge of complicated workflows by integrating with the provider's employee and patient identification systems to securely access and simplify patient searches. Studies can be retrieved from any of the connected PACS, local edge devices or from the cloud archive, making the location of the image transparent to the end user in addition to reducing the total amount of storage required (because images do not have to be copied in all locations to be accessible).
"This is a great example of a successful public-private partnership. This collaboration led to a unique strategic alliance that produces a solution unlike any others in the market," said Jeff Hinkle, chief executive officer for GNAX Health. "This offering tightly integrates world-class clinical content viewing, abstraction and life-cycle management applications, data migration, cloud-computing and customer support services into a single bundle, greatly simplifying the process of administering enterprise medical image access, exchange and management while reducing IT costs."
"This consortium brings an innovative solution based on IHE standards to CTN," noted Jeff Timbrook, chief executive officer for Acuo Technologies. "We've worked closely with GNAX and Client Outlook to develop an implementation approach that will save CTN significant time and effort."
The benefits of the program to Colorado health care providers and patients are numerous. Patients of participating providers should no longer be required to transport their own imaging studies via CD or film. Consequently, such patients should no longer undergo duplicate studies, reducing unnecessary radiation exposure.
CTN leverages the reciprocal collaborative nature of the solution to make it affordable for all providers in Colorado. The services are available to all CTN members through flexible deployment models that fit each provider's needs. The program is financially sustained through a subscription model based on the number of studies ingested and the amount of cloud storage required. Because the program is scaled across the entire state of Colorado, it provides cost savings for both large and small providers. The small hospitals receive an enterprise vendor-neutral archive and exchange solution at a fraction of the cost while gaining access to specialists at larger institutions for their patients. Large providers also benefit from the collaboration with critical access facilities because they can service patients they may not otherwise be able to as easily.
Two hospitals are expected to begin implementation this year, with several additional hospitals slated for 2013.
CTN, along with GNAX Health, Acuo Technologies and Client Outlook will summarize the journey to this strategic alliance-based solution during a presentation at RSNA 2012 in Chicago. RSNA attendees can see the presentation on Monday, November 26th at 10:30 a.m. in the South Hall Exhibitor Showcase Theatre, booth 4064. Learn more about the session here: http://go.gnaxhealth.com/RSNA2012-CTN-session.html. RSNA attendees may also schedule an appointment to speak with GNAX Health and CTN executives to learn more about the Colorado program here: http://go.gnaxhealth.com/RSNA-CTN-GNAX_appointment.html.

What is the recovery time like after male breast reduction or gynecomastia surgery? What's the healing process like during recovery?
Male Breast Reduction Recovery
Doctor Answers 35
Recovery Time after Male Breast Reduction Depends on Procedure Performed
Length of Recovery:
For the first 2 weeks following all types of surgery, I recommend that patients avoid heavy lifting or straining in order to minimize the chance for post-op bleeding. After that time, full activity as tolerated is allowed for all procedures.
Full healing strength returns only after 6 weeks, so heavy body contact should be minimized until that point.
Garment Use:
Liposuction: of a "compression garment" for 4 weeks is usually enough to treat post-op swelling and decrease the chance for blood and fluid collections.
Gland Excision: surgical removal of the "gland" will require a bulky gauze dressing with some compression for a week to 10 days.
Gland Excision and Liposuction: a bulky dressing for 7 days along with a compression garment for one month.
Formal Breast Reduction: compression with ace wraps and a gauze wrap is worn one week. With free nipple grafts, a "tie-over" dressing is essential to prevent bleeding beneath the graft and is removed only after 7-10 days.
Custom compression-type vests offer a better alternative to "Under Armour"- type compression shirts since they are fitted based on the patient's measurements and the pressure can be adjusted. Also, custom vests are firmer and tend to wrinkle less than the store bought ones.
I hope that is a helpful answer. Good luck!

Recovery After Gynecomastia Surgery
In my practice, most patients return to work between 3-7 days. I have them wear a compression vest for 4-6 weeks depending on the procedure performed. I also limit their strenuous exercise for the same time frame but start them on stretching exercises around week 4. Patients typically recover relatively quickly as this is not a very painful surgery.

I generally recommend patients wear a support garment for 6 weeks - night and day for the first three weeks, and then during the day for another three weeks.
However, you should ask your surgeon as they may have different guidelines.

Recovery Time After A Male Breast Reduction - How Long Is It And What Happens?
Recovery time for liposuction of the chest is normally 5 days out of the gym, and 3 weeks before one can go swimming again. Usually, it is appropriate to stay home for a couple days to get off any pain medication before one returns to driving one's car. The incision for the liposuction is in the lateral chest area and is sutured below the surface so that there are no stitches to remove.
If gland tissue is removed, this is done through a small incision just at the edge of the areola. The sutures come out over a 7 day period, and one is normally back in the gym within 7-10 days.
Liposuction of the chest as well as gland excision both lead to scar tissue which responds well to a combination of DMSO and ultrasound (the kind physical therapists use for sore muscles). A vest or tight rash guard is worn for approximately one month. If this is done religiously 24/7, no surgical garments are required after that.
Normally, at about 6 weeks post operatively, a small bump of scar tissue occurs just under the nipple. This can be eliminated with one or two injections of a corticosteroid.
All in all, gynecomastia surgery recovery is about a 6-8 week project. As a sidebar issue, I always send the gland from this surgery to pathology since male breast cancer is a reality and should always be checked.
Recovery Process Following Gynecomastia Surgery
The recovery process following male breast reduction surgery is very dependent upon the type of procedure performed. When liposuction is performed recoveries are usually shorter then when excision of breast tissue is performed.
Following excision of breast tissue, patients usually have drains in place for approximately a week. These help to minimize fluid collections beneath the skin. Patients also wear compression garments following both excision of breast tissue and liposuction. Compression garments help minimize swelling, hematoma formation and pain in the post-operative period. Generally, compression garments are worn for four to six weeks following surgery.
Patients are allowed to resume most normal activities within a week of surgery, but strenuous activities and heavy lifting are not resumed for at least six weeks.
It's important to remember that every patient is unique and because of this, post-operative management is frequently modified based on the specifics of the patients situation.
Male Breast Reduction
There is the methodology of performing only liposuction to reduce some of the thickness and fat content, allowing shrinkage and causing the skin to contract. This can result in a good outcome if the patient's skin is taut and elastic. If the patient has a fair amount of loose skin, then sometimes this needs to be cut away and resected. The recovery is essentially the same with either method. It is a procedure that is very well tolerated by men, and usually requires 7-10 days to recover for any discomfort. Patients will usually return to the gym and other activities in about two weeks. This procedure can provide long lasting powerful benefits with noticeable results in clothing. Most of the time the treatment of preference is liposuction, however, cases where there is extreme skin redundancy then skin excision can be an option. All the best –Dr. Cohen
