Under this study, NIH physicians will evaluate and treat patients with sickle cell disease and other hemolytic disorders (diseases involving damage to red blood cells) in order to learn more about the diseases and the painful attacks and lung complications that are often associated with them. Patients in this study will not receive experimental therapy, but will be given standard medical care. Patients who meet the medical criteria for another NIH protocol may be offered participation in that study, but are not obligated to enroll in it.
Patients 5 years of age and older with known or suspected sickle cell disease, sickle cell trait or another anemia or red blood cell disorder such as thalassemia may be eligible for this study. Participants will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center as an inpatient or outpatient for evaluation and treatment. In addition to a physical examination, evaluation may include the following types of tests and procedures:
- Routine blood and urine tests, including a 24-hour urine collection
- Blood test for genetic analysis to look for genes that may be relevant to the development of sickle cell anemia or other hemolytic disorders
- X-rays, if needed, to evaluate the patient's condition
- Computerized tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or both, as needed to examine the lungs, brain, or heart and to measure blood flow in these organs.
- Echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) to determine if there is high blood pressure in the lungs
- Pulmonary (lung) function tests and cardiopulmonary (heart and lung) exercise test to evaluate breathing and exercise capacity to determine if there are lung or heart problems associated with the patient's condition.
- Heart catheterization to measure blood pressures in the heart and lung blood vessels will be offered if the results of clinical evaluation or echocardiogram suggest the presence of high blood pressure in the lungs. For this procedure, the patient is given a local anesthetic, and a catheter (plastic tube) is inserted into a vein in the arm, thigh, chest, or neck until it passes through the right side of the heart. When the catheter is in place, a tiny balloon at the end of the catheter is inflated, temporarily blocking the blood flow and allowing the physician to measure pressure in the lung artery system.
- Ventilation-perfusion scan to measure breathing and circulation in all areas of the lungs. For the perfusion scan, radioactive albumin is injected into a vein and the patient is placed on a table that is positioned under the scanner. The lungs are scanned to detect the location of the radioactive particles as blood flows through the lungs. The ventilation scan is performed by scanning the lungs while the patient inhales a radioactive gas. A mask is placed over the nose and mouth, and the patient breathes the gas while sitting or lying on the table beneath the arm of the scanner. The gas is breathed out entirely in a matter of minutes and is removed from the room by a special exhaust system.
Patients are offered treatment for high blood pressure in the lungs. The medicines used are approved by the Food and Drug Administration for patients with pulmonary hypertension.

Forgot Password Cheat Sheet
This article provides a simple model to follow when implementing a "forgot password" web application feature.
The Problem
There is no industry standard for implementing a Forgot Password feature. The result is that you see applications forcing users to jump through myriad hoops involving emails, special URLs, temporary passwords, personal security questions, and so on. With some applications you can recover your existing password. In others you have to reset it to a new value.
Step 1) Gather Identity Data or Security Questions
The first page of a secure Forgot Password feature asks the user for multiple pieces of hard data that should have been previously collected (generally when the user first registers). Steps for this are detailed in the Choosing and Using Security Questions Cheat Sheet.
At a minimum, you should have collected some data that will allow you to send the password reset information to some out-of-band side-channel, such as a (possibly different) email address or an SMS text number, etc. to be used in Step 3.
Step 2) Verify Security Questions
After the form on Step 1 is submitted, the application verifies that each piece of data is correct for the given username. If anything is incorrect, or if the username is not recognized, the second page displays a generic error message such as "Sorry, invalid data". If all submitted data is correct, Step 2 should display at least two of the user's pre-established personal security questions, along with input fields for the answers. It's important that the answer fields are part of a single HTML form.
Do not provide a drop-down list for the user to select the questions he wants to answer. Avoid sending the username as a parameter (hidden or otherwise) when the form on this page is submitted. The username should be stored in the server-side session where it can be retrieved as needed.
Because users' security questions / answers generally contains much less entropy than a well-chosen password (how many likely answers are there to the typical "What's your favorite sports team?" or "In what city where you born?" security questions anyway?), make sure you limit the number of guesses attempted and if some threshold is exceeded for that user (say 3 to 5), lock out the user's account for some reasonable duration (say at least 5 minutes) and send an email (or SMS text, if that is your side channel of choice; see #3, below) to mitigate attempts by hackers to guess the questions and reset the user's password. (It is not unreasonable to think that a user's email account may have already been compromised.) Using something like the OWASP AppSensor Project to implement this should make adding this behavior somewhat easier, assuming you already have the ability to temporarily lock out a user's account.
Step 3) Send a Token Over a Side-Channel
After step 2, email or SMS the user a randomly-generated code having 8 or more characters. This introduces an "out-of-band" communication channel and adds defense-in-depth as it is another barrier for a hacker to overcome. If the bad guy has somehow managed to successfully get past steps 1 and 2, he is unlikely to have compromised the side-channel. If is also a good idea to have the random code which your system generates to only have a limited validity period, say no more than 20 minutes or so. That way if the user doesn't get around to checking their email and their email account is later compromised, the random token used to reset the password would no longer be valid if the user never reset their password and the "reset password" token was discovered by an attacker. Of course, by all means, once a user's password has been reset, the randomly-generated token should no longer be valid.
Step 4) Allow user to change password
Step 4 requires input of the code sent in step 3 and allows the user to reset his password. Display a simple HTML form with one input field for the code, one for the new password, and one to confirm the new password. Verify the correct code is provided and be sure to enforce all password complexity requirements that exist in other areas of the application. As before, avoid sending the username as a parameter when the form is submitted. Finally, it's critical to have a check to prevent a user from accessing this last step without first completing steps 1 and 2 correctly. Otherwise, a forced browsing attack may be possible.

During the 2005-2006 season, the Akron Symphony was led by candidates for their music director gig. These auditions were all musically satisfying. You'd expect that, since any finalist in such a selection process is going to have pretty good chops.
The October 2005 concert was given a further boost by the presence of a rising young violin soloist. He played Mozart's Turkish concerto (#5) with a heady level of musicianship and precision.
This impressive fiddler was Philippe Quint. Since then his career has continued to blossom. In 2009, he recorded the Korngold concerto; the CD hit the Billboard classical top 20 in its first week on the market. He's been nominated for 4 Grammy awards. This month (March 2012) he'll release a recording of the Mendelssohn and Bruch concertos, and Beethoven's Romances.
It's also taken an intriguing new trajectory. Quint has become an actor – at least for one film. He'll reach the big screen in New York next month (April 2012).
Downtown Express turns on the tension between the tux-and-tails world of the concert hall and the blue jeans attitude of popular music. Philippe Quint plays Sasha, a Russian violinist on scholarship to Julliard. From the time Sasha was a child, his traditional cellist father has been grooming him for a career on the concert stage.
But Sasha finds himself drawn to the gritty, raucous attitudes and rhythms of New York's downtown music scene. Then he meets Ramona, a bohemian singer-songwriter. Soon he is a part of her band – and her life.
Afraid of his father's censure, for a time Sasha tries to live both lives, careening between concert violinist and pop fiddler. A crucial recital looms. Which path will he choose?
"I was instantly swept away by this story because it mirrored my life," says Quint. He was born in Russia and defected to the US as a teenager, to avoid army service in Russia and to study with Juilliard's Dorothy DeLay.
Many musicians have appeared in films as themselves or as famous virtuosi of the past. However, it's not at all common for a classical musician to play a fictional character. To prepare for his role, Quint studied with producer and acting coach Sondra Lee.
Downtown Express is based on a true story. It was filmed on location in New York in the summer of 2010. Singer-songwriter Nellie McKay plays Ramona, the street musician. The director is David Grubin and the producer is Michael Hausman (Brokeback Mountain, Gangs of New York, Amadeus).
Does this mean an end to Quint's concert hall careeer? Not likely, given the success that's been bringing him. In addition to his CD release, just this year (2012) he's played concerts in Bochum, Germany; Mons, Belgium; Sofia, Bulgaria; Mexico City; and in Santa Monica, El Paso, Brevard, and Harrisburg. Later this month (March 2012) he'll head for Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic.
Downtown Express opens on 20 April at the QUAD Cinema, 34 West 13th Street, New York.

Hello all! I'm brand new to this forum and I need some advice. I'm looking to invest in the Lensbaby and don't know where to start. I'm totally inexperienced and completely self taught. I currently have the Canon 60D and a Canon Rebel XT. The area that I'm best at is outdoor portraits. Lighting is the hardest for me. I'm nervous about this forum, because of my inexperience in photography. Another thing...I tried to read thru and see if I could come up with the answers, but I'm a visual learner. So, reading any owner manual, how to book or forum...makes my head spin. So..please help me decide which option would be best.
Sorry if this landed in the wrong area...I'm still trying to find my way around!

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Vontae Davis gives fans a big smile with his yellow mouthpiece during the afternoon practice. The Colts held their first day of training camp practice at Anderson University Sunday, July 28 2013.
Vontae Davis made an embarrassing flub on national television, one that would have left most red-faced. Somehow, he misspoke and referred to Peyton Manning as Tom Brady in an NBC interview after the Colts' huge win over the Broncos on Sunday night.
That's the same Manning whose face had been plastered all over this and other newspapers and sports programs for a solid week ahead of his rematch with his former team. Millions of viewers likely reacted with shock. And Davis' teammates were merciless, making him the butt of a steady stream of jokes in the locker room immediately afterward.
So, how ...

dont know! but im listenin to thisFrank Zappa - Son Of Rat Tomago--- but what so awesome about this tune is, its actually the solo from The Torture Never Stops at the concert in Toronto I was at.
I have the full concert bootleg.... fuck it took forever but I got it and it sounds raw... the recorder was in a bad spot. BUT Zappa grabbed this solo I was there and wanted it to br released after he left uss Im still sad
I'm listenin to Son Of Rat Tomago.. fuck he made it like shut up an play yur guitar but I have what it sounded like man big difference he must have been proud of his performance but the his acoustics sucked at the gardens in TO
he had the soundboard... thats what I want for that concert.... I got a shitty unknown bootlegger who made a shitty recording... BUT thank gawd for him, I ll buy him a round for grabbing it at the moment, theres no other bootlegs of it so.... fuck mr bootlegger I thank you for the mmemories

Anyone and everyone can post your runs, cross-training, abdominal work, rest days, race plans, training questions, etc. The only stupid question is the one you did not post. There's a great mix of beginners and veterans, runners and walkers, and maniacs and returners (from injury, to running, to RWOL). We're all a little crazy here too! While this thread is a terrific source of motivation for runners and serves as outstanding accountability, you'll quickly find this remarkable group to be highly supportive of all life experiences. So, come on in, put your feet up and stay awhile (not literally)! And whoever is up first is welcome to start the thread and we definitely keep some weird hours around here.
Up with the chickens today, because my wife has a race this morning--her first 5 miler.
I will either get in a 3 miler later today, or do a strength session for legs. Whichever doesn't get done today will be tomorrow.
Have a great day, folks!
Good morning everyone!
King- Good luck to your wife on her 5 miler and enjoy your run or leg workout, whichever you decide to do today.
I'm doing a 5K this morning as a speed training exercise as I prepare for next weeks goal race.
Everyone enjoy your runs and your weekends.
Morning Rob, King, and all!
King: Good luck to your wife!! She's been doing lots of races, that is awesome!!
Rob: Good Luck!! You didn't taper at all for this race, did you?
I did my 6 miles last night easy...plan for today is a couple miles this morning and 3 or so later this afternoon/evening.
Good morning! Friday: 4 miles 40:42 - 10:10 - avg. pace - recovery. Dead legs. A.M. / 8 miles 1:16:55 - 9:37 avg. pace - easy P.M. Guess that back-to-back tempo / trail run took more out of me than I suspected. Hopefully I rebound over the weekend. Going to be a hot for the next few days, so be cool!
Youth has no age. ~ Picasso * 1st road race: Charleston Distance Run 15 Miler - 1974. - Voice
Roll Tide- I didn't taper but did take a scheduled rest day yesterday. I didn't take it at the beginning of the week and have been doing 9 to 10 miles a day. The more the week wore on the better the idea seemed of taking that SRD the day before today's 5K. Enjoy your runs today.
Moth- Hopefully you will get your legs back under you but this heat makes it tough!
Good morning fellow runners! 12.01 miles @ 8:05 pace done last night. It was humid out. The weather is getting a little toasty near the end of the week. I picked a hilly course for whatever reason. I must like torture. My quad is still sore. Sometimes it radiates to the outside and back of my leg.
I have 5 or 6 miles on tap for tonight. Right at this very moment I couldn't run 5 feet. That is how bad my leg feels. It starts to loosen up by the end of the day.
King - Good luck to DW! Have fun at the race!
Rob - Good luck on your 5K!
RTR - How are you liking the doubles? Enjoy your runs today!
Moth - The hot and humid weather is definitely here! Tell those legs to wake up! We have some running to do!
Have a great Saturday everyone! God luck to everyone racing this weekend! God bless you all!
Run Long, Hard and Fast!
Rob: Good Luck on your 5K!
Good luck to all runners today.
Today was a true test for me- I took a new route and my mental focus was anywhere but running- the entire time I was concerned about my time and my distance which of course wasn't what I wanted. So lesson learned- stick to a course I know- My regular route is less hilly than today's run and I know where my mile and 2 miles are so it would probably have been less stressful to go with a familiar route. It's time to go back to just worrying about finishing and not time- I think I set myself up for disappointment by setting goals if I don't reach them- especially on long runs!
6 miles today in 62:26 which is a 10:26 pace and when I look at that- I'm happy with the pace- goal is for HM 10:00 pace Is this possible? I HOPE SO! BUT I HAVE TO GET BETTER AT PACING EACH MILE!
Upcoming races
June 30th Sturgis 5K
September 7th HM(I hope) I haven't signed up yet-----
Morning all!
Very nice running!
I read back and found out that Coastal is writing a sci fi novel, which is awesome!
Okay here I go with the unsolicited advice , but Nicole maybe just add mileage now and don't put so much pressure on yourself to hit specific times for easy mileage. Save this for a weekly speed session to check in and maybe just leave it for now. As always, this is an uneducated opinion but I hate to see someone beating themselves up over training when they are working hard.
Also, SUS, maybe stop running for a couple of days and see if the quad pain goes away and then ease the mileage back up. See above proviso about uneducated advice, but what part of "radiating pain" is good. You still have time to get back on track.
I am incorrigible, I know.
Today's run: Hudson says 6 mile long run, but the fog lifted and it was a boardwalk, and I had to circle back to avoid belligerent geese so 7.5 easy.
My aunt and cousin are coming up from Colorado today. Lobster bisque on the menu.
Next up: a mile in winter?
Good morning! 8.5 done, HHH kind of weather but it was really a good run despite the humidity. Wasn't feeling it for the first 3 miles or so, but the rest I just kind of floated along at an easy pace.
Nicole--you'll eventually find that taking unfamiliar routes is part of the fun on longer runs. It keeps things interesting (and hills are good for you). And while it's hard to do, don't worry about time so much as you build up your distance. You're doing fine!
Turtle and Tarsia: Thank you for the advice! My husband (a non runner and usually not very encourageable) and I just had a great conversation about me running and we decided the same thing- go out for the distance and be happy I wasn't on the couch for an hour! Also- if I do worry about time (which for some reason, I can't stop doing) I need to pay attention my first 2-3 mile pace as that is faster than my last 3 miles by 30-60 seconds- so maybe if I could learn to pace myself I would feel better.
Next week is my first 5K in over 4 years- thinking that may help my body recover before I move on to 7 miles in a couple weeks- today's run is done! And I FINISHED! No more beating myself up!! If running 6 miles was easy for everyone- more people would have been out on the trail with me- but I was the only one out there (except for a couple people fishing!)
Morning everyone.
No running for me today but there will be a bike ride and swimming instead. Have a great Saturday!
Good morning gang. SRD for me. However will be burning some calories pushing the lawnmower around.
I burp in parking garages to assert my dominance
10 miles 1:37:45 - 9:46 avg. pace - easy A.M. /
Good morning!
Got in 4 miles yesterday at something between easy and recovery pace, but I'm still trying to take it easy this week.
Yesterday we got 16 baby chicks in the mail, which are all now installed in our basement under a heat lamp for the next 4 weeks or so. They are pretty cute. Meanwhile, we are scrambling to finish their outdoor area. The coop is painted and DH has fenced a section of the yard for them, and we now need to install an irrigation system in the yard and get some grass and clover seed down, plus build and install the roosts and nesting boxes for the inside of the coop, and paint the fence. 4 months from now, I hope to be harvesting fresh eggs, which will have made all the work worth it!
Rob -- Good luck on your 5K today!
I completed week 4 of C25K last night. My run distance was 1.21 miles. My pace was only 13:13 min per mile but that's faster than I'm moving watching tv! Today my exercise will be a trip to a rather large mall to get my iPhone repaired/replaced after Wednesday's fall. How do you protect your phone when you're running? I take mine because I put a C25K app in it. I really don't want the hassle of an Otter Box if I can help it.
Nicole - Another approach that I like to use sometimes, is to just go out and run an unmeasured route by time.
Runners, myself included, tend to obsess over mileage and pace, but in terms of actual training effect, duration and intensity is what counts. The body doesn't have an odometer, so if two runners both run 30 minutes at the same "easy" effort level, but one covers 5 miles, and the other only 3 miles, the physiological effect is exactly the same.
I record and monitor my training by time, not by mileage. I only convert my time into mileage because that's how runners generally communicate their training to each other. The best approach is to just guesstimate your pace and use the guesstimate to convert the time into mileage. It really isn't very important if your guess is off by half a minute per mile.
Remember that your pace will vary from day to day, based on how stressed out you are at the time, whether from running or non-running factors, and the conditions you are running in (heat, humidity, hills, poor running surface, etc.). If you have a poor workout, that doesn't automatically mean there is a problem with your training. You should only start to worry if you see a pattern developing over weeks or months. One workout doesn't matter much in the larger scheme of things, which is one reason why it can be good to leave the watch at home for most of your easy runs.
I think you would appreciate the benefits of just strapping on a cheap, non-gps watch, and running by time. It helps keep running interesting, by allowing you to change routes, and just explore for the sake of variety. During the hard stretches of your training, taking the pressure off yourself mentally can help prevent you from burning out.
(Sorry for the long post.)

I had 13-14 planned, but I forgot the length of this particular route & ended up with 15 instead. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't told my sweet bride what time to expect me home. Oops. She was worried, but good. She still made me blueberry pancakes.
After breakfast, I had one more unexpected mile, but it was the best one of all. My daughter actually wanted to go for a mile, so I went with her to help her gauge her distance. It was the best run/walk she and I have had together in a long time.

Big Cedar Endurance Run (50K), 10/31/2015...N/A RACE CANCELLED DUE TO FLOODS
Well just finished the worst run (or run/walk) of my life. The route was 9.18 miles, and I knew it was hilly because everything is hilly here in Missouri, and I knew it was hot, but I thought I'd be able to get down before it really heats up this afternoon. Well I was wrong. I pooped out at 5 miles because of the heat. Walked the majority but every so often I was able to jog/run for a little while before tiring out. When I started it was 73 degrees within half an hour, one of the bank temperature signs said 88. The temp on weather.com right now is 90. I also forgot to put sun screen on before I went out.
Lesson learned: Long run must be done at 5 am in this humid and hot weather.
^^ Ouch. It was 68 when I started and even though it didn't rise that much 1 1/2 hours later I wished I'd hit the road an hour earlier.
Hello, dailiers! I missed checking in yesterday because I've been trying to wrap up an editing project that is due next week, and with DS home from school, I have to be smart about how I use any available time.
Yesterday ended up being an URD due to storms that scuttled my early morning run, and just not wanting to try to find some other window of opportunity.
This morning two more fronts moved through, so my long run was delayed until after 8. 15.28 miles done in 2:34 (10:07 overall pace). That's a bit slow, but it includes walking while texting a friend who had hoped to connect to run some miles together, and also stopping to buy lemonade and ice from a girl who had a stand set up with her mom's garage sale. It was steamy, though cloud cover hung around, so not too oppressive. And my lower back is achy, I think from running on a lot of concrete this week in older shoes, plus doing a lot of jumping exercises on concrete at Thursday's boot camp class.
I'll soothe my aches with good food and drink tonight - DH & I have a date night as an early celebration of our 12th wedding anniversary.
14,000+ miles and still running rebounding from knee surgery!
Nice run Shari. Love the lemonade pit stop. Happy Anniversary!

Looking at 7-8 easy miles in the morning Tropical smoothies next, then a well deserved(?) ice cream with the kids and my right half. Do some grilling tonight, sun dried tomato marinated pork with pesto couscous and sauted veggies. My family is sooo lucky!!
Current PR's : Could be better.
"I used to be very conceited, but today I'm perfect."
Good luck Phil!
Marathon this morning, nap time now.
If you want to never run, never start because once you do you'll never stop.
I ended up with a little over 11 miles in today. One mile warm up for my 5K, my 5K, followed up with a little over 7 miles at the Metro Park not far from my 5K site. My legs are feeling pretty rubbery at the moment.
PM - 4.06 miles in 36:47 (9:04 pace) - easy
^^ nice triple. Now I feel bad I skipped my double.
run: thanks for the advice. I like the idea of running just to run no mileage but just run for a certain amount of time. I may try it tomorrow or Thursday which are non run days in my training. Thank you for the advice.
Wow. Lots of cool stuff happening on here.
Neverrun - How was the race?
Step: lemonade while on a run? How awesome is that?
MTB: Good luck!
Setzerrocks: Your dinner sounds excellent.
TimC: Blueberry pancakes, yum.
7.4 miles on a trail. It was supposed to be a really easy day, but I was feeling pooped by halfway. I don't know how you guys can run in the temps and humidity you have. It was 75 here today. Not bad but warm enough. I met a couple who were hiking. The guy was wearing the race shirt from the Eugene Marathon which I did in April. What are the chances of that? He ran the full.

Purdue athletic director Morgan Burke takes questions from the media after introducing Patrick Higgins as interim head football coach during a press conference Sunday. Higgins replaces Danny Hope, who was fired earlier Sunday afternoon after coaching the Boilermakers for the past four years. Burke said the decision to fire Hope was gut-wrenching.
- Filed Under
Morgan Burke is prepared to ante up financially. ¶ He has to. ¶ Purdue's athletic director no longer can be unwilling to spend to lure a top-notch football coach. Whether Burke gets his top choice remains to be seen, but the decision to fire Danny Hope after four seasons now requires a solid financial commitment. ¶ "We're prepared to compete," Burke said Sunday night, announcing Hope's dismissal after four seasons and a 22-27 record. "We know in the Big Ten and nationally what you have to do to compete. We're prepared to do that."
Hope was the Big Ten's lowest-paid coach, earning a guaranteed ...

A nationwide nursing shortage has been deepened by the sputtering economy, but local observers are seeing trends that could signal a turnaround.
Hiring freezes at some hospitals are being lifted, others are reporting few job vacancies and nursing remains a popular field, especially for people seeking a second career.
Such good news, however, can't hide the fact that nursing is a profession with a crisis, says Martina Harrison, chief nursing officer at Provident Hospital.
"My fear is that I'll be sick and there won't be a registered nurse caring for me," she says. "The shortage is so big, we have to be serious."
By 2025, some estimates predict the shortage of nurses to grow to 260,000 nationwide. In the Chicago area, there could be a shortage of nearly 11,000 nurses. Today, according to a study conducted by the Metropolitan Healthcare Council of Greater Chicago, there is a shortage of more than 9,000 nurses.
The reasons? A sluggish economy that prevents hospitals from hiring nurses and a lack of nursing school graduates to replace the flood of aging nurses who will be leaving the field in retirement. One study showed that 55 percent of nurses plan to retire between 2011 and 2020. Experts worry about the effects this shortage will have on burnout, morale and hospital economics.
Overburdened, understaffed
When Vice President Joe Biden was in Chicago last week discussing electronic health records, he asked Cherie Hamilton, a nurse at Mt. Sinai Hospital, for her greatest fear.
"A bad outcome, because you couldn't get to a patient in time, because we have too many patients to take care of," replied Hamilton.
"It scares the devil out of them because they are overloaded," Biden said. "Instead of having two patients, they have 13 or 14 patients."
While nurses might be overburdened, relief may not come soon. Some hospitals have slowed hiring. Loyola University Medical Center recently lifted a hiring freeze.
"The economic downturn hit us the hardest around the middle of the year, just about the time new grads were graduating," says Paul Walden, nurse recruitment manager at Loyola University Medical Center. While a few positions are starting to open, "at this point, there are still more grads than there are jobs to be offered."
Walden said last year he hired 115 nurses. This year he has 700 applications for 15 positions.
More training programs needed
More needs to be done to encourage people entering the nursing field, Harrison says.
A Chicago Public Schools program gives high school students a look at the medical field, while at St. Anthony Hospital, children of employees are given internships to learn about nursing and medicine.
Cook County had a short-lived medical transition program that paid for hospital workers, such as secretaries and laboratory technicians, to attend nursing school, bringing an enthusiastic crop of nurses to county hospitals.
The program lasted just one iteration, graduating about 25 nurses. It cost less than $500,000, but was cut. Harrison wishes more county workers were able to take advantage of it.
Eloise Black, a nurse at Provident Hospital who applied to the program, was a phlebotomist whose career has flourished since she became an RN in 2007.
"I just felt drawn to (patients), like I should be doing more," she says. Interest in the program remains strong within county hospitals, she says.
At the University of Illinois at Chicago, a program takes college graduates who want to enter the nursing field and trains them as RNs, then admits them to a master's degree program. The three-year old program, initially funded by a federal grant, has been wildly successful, says Kathy Baldwin, assistant professor of nursing at UIC's School of Nursing.
"It's impacted the shortage by allowing people who have a bachelor's in another field to come back and quickly become nurses," she says. The program admits about 60 students a year.
Trouble in nursing schools
It's not that nursing isn't a popular field. Applications to nursing schools are on the rise, up 2 percent by some estimates.
But a shortage in nursing educators led nursing schools to turn away nearly 50,000 applicants in the last year. That, in turn, leads to fewer new graduates entering the workforce, putting a strain in the diminishing number of nurses.
"Unless there are some creative ways to accommodate all these nursing students, I think that's one of the major problems," says Roz Lennon, chief nursing officer for the Cook County Health and Hospitals System. "That's a newer problem. The problem used to be that you couldn't get people to want to get into nursing."
When the economy heals, more hospitals will begin hiring nurses again, says Sue Ohlson, director of continuing studies for UIC's School of Nursing.
That's a good thing for patients, says Ohlson, who calls nurses "the glue of the hospital system."
"Patients go to the hospital strictly for nursing care. They get physician care in physicians' offices," she says. "But the reason why physicians bring their patients to the hospital is because the patients are in the position to need someone to look after them for 24 hours."

In "Need a nurse? Chicago may need 11,000 nurses in years to come," http://www.chitowndailynews.org/Chicago_news/Need_a_nurse_Chicago_may_need_11000_nurses_in_years_to_come,31560
Sue Ohlson hits the nail on the head. "Patients go to the hospital strictly for nursing care. They get physician care in physicians' offices,†she says. "But the reason why physicians bring their patients to the hospital is because the patients are in the position to need someone to look after them for 24 hours.â€
I was the kind of nurse that you would want for yourself or for a family member.
Cannot speak for Chicago nurses, but the reason I took early retirement was because the powers that be would not respect seasoned nurses' input that more help was needed to give good patient care. So, I voted with my feet.
A problem I see with the nurse shortage is that they are allowing more people to go in and finish a nursing program, though they are not qualified. I work in the health field and am surprised with how little some nurses actually know. Really??? We're in that much of a crisis that we're willing to just allow anyone to become a nurse. While, I understand that more nurses are needed I don't feel we should lower the standards needed just to get more positions filled.

Fourth Street Live Getting Bourbon Lounge, Restaurant
Maker's Mark Plans To Open Sept. 15
By Claire Nerl
POSTED: 1:23 pm EDT July 1, 2004
UPDATED: 7:24 pm EDT July 1, 2004
LOUISVILLE -- A company known for its bourbon plans to open its first-ever bourbon lounge and restaurant in Louisville's new nightclub district, Fourth Street Live.
The Maker's Mark Bourbon House and Lounge will be an upscale restaurant with a large lounge and is scheduled to open Sept. 15. There will be 148 seats for those who want to dine and 58 bar seats.
The venue will be between McFadden's Restaurant and the Red Star Tavern and cost about $2 million to build, WLKY NewsChannel 32 reported.
"There is no facility like it in the world," Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson said. "It's the first concept that will be replicated."
The restaurant and lounge is creating a new menu with a chef coming from a world-class restaurant in Philadelphia, WLKY reported.
Maker's Mark also plans to showcase bourbons from each of Kentucky's distilleries and sell its own bourbon, WLKY reported.

Have you ever looked at another person's PR and laughed?
C'mon... be honest.
HOPEFULLY you wouldn't.
But I did overhear a coworker do so yesterday and it really bummed me out. It just made me think... is runshaming something that is done now? WTF.
I look at other people's PR's and wish I was that fast
Uncool in the extreme. It takes a hell of a lot more courage for the beginning runner to be out there at all than it does for an experienced athlete to shave off another 30 seconds from their PR.
Runners can always get faster and stronger. *******s, on the other hand, will likely remain such.
I never would because I am humble enough to know that even at my best, there is always someone better than me. For example with me, I am sure I could run faster and push harder but after multiple knee and back injuries from amateur wrestling, I am enjoying the fact that I have been able to run as much and as long and injury free for 6 months now. If it means constantly pacing myself as I have and not stressing faster times, I am happy and in the end, that's all that matters right?
Personal Best:
2015 JW Corbett 18 Mile: 1st Place Overall
Mile: 7:03

26.2: 3:44:21
Even if it's slower than I can walk, I'm just glad that they are trying.
Not once. Not my way. Anyone putting on shoes and actually sweating balls while others sit by and watch, gets a HUGE shout out for any PR they post.
We all---even the more arrogant of runners on here, started someplace. Probably with a similar silly PR. No?
PR 2013 25:58 (only 35 seconds off from placing in my AG) Yahoo!!!!
Don't go to your grave with your treasure still inside you
:::the march is on:::
Winter racing series:
Almost; when they are full of themselves about it. As infeeling superior or putting down others because they are so fast. I guess it's not really the time but the attitude.
Compared to the elites we are all sloggers.

Never, and in fact, I'd have no problem calling out that coworker for saying something like that.

I AM a douchebag, and even I haven't laughed at another's PR.
Not yet but what are yours? Just kidding but I definitely know some condescending runners.
A friend of mine was training for his first HM while I was training for my first 5K. Two totally different playing fields here. When he asked me about my race after, I knew my results weren't even in the ballpark of his training results - admittedly, I was a bit embarrassed at the comparison, but he was so excited for me that it actually motivated me even more to continue running and do the best that I could do.
I'm new at this, so my accomplishments are big deals to me and I am excited to share with anyone that will listen. It's not a pompous thing, it's a genuine excitement and I want to share it with others. I'm really glad that I don't surround myself with someone that would laugh at my accomplishments - after all, they are MINE - that's just a real d-bag move.
I don't remember her boasting of her race times. She is a personal trainer and fitness model.
Let's put this to the test... my FM PR is 5:21
Never have...They are called PERSONAL Records.
I burp in parking garages to assert my dominance
Not laughing but curious - that doesn't seem to jive with your 5K and 10K results.
I only have 715 miles for the year and attempted a marathon because a few people at work were doing one so we did it together (as together as 3:30, 4:58 and 5:10 are). I was good until mile 21 (which was around 3:59). The wheels fell off at the end and I walked most of it. I wasn't properly prepared but thought I could do it anyways. One of my former running coach friends (not running the marathon) convinced me to go out with the 4:40 pacers based on his estimation of my fitness.
WHY DO YOU THINK MINE ARENT LISTED!!!! duh! (just added)
Ah, I get it now.
Ah, I get it now. FWIW, if you ever do decide to put in the training you could probably do in the neighborhood of 3:45.
Nope, and I hope to GOD nobody judges me based on my half marathon time. Considering I finished my first and so far only half marathon with a broken hip, I would seriously hope nobody judges anyone.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm slowly ramping up to 50 MPW for the Jerusalem marathon in March (currently 35 MPW for the last two weeks). I'm getting faster, no doubt. Just recently my 10K time started to line up with my 5K time. I figure that's how it happens. The gap closes between the 5K and 10K, then the 10K and HM, and finally the FM where (I hope) my endurance profile is consistent from my 5K to FM with appropriate fades. Training paces have went down from 14 min miles in Jan to about 10 min miles currently
Anyone who laughs at another's race time is someone who has low self esteem and needs to belittle others in order to feel better about themselves. It is the same as making fun of another's physique as they are running. Not everyone can have "stellar" race times or be optimally shaped. But at least they are out there trying. And to make fun of someone because of that is worthy of shame.
When I'm gassy, I tend to Fartlek Post 45 PRs 5k 22:16 (2014), Double 5k 21:41 (2015) 4 Mile 30:53 (2014), 10k 53:24 (2013)
Jerusalem? No kidding! Way to pick a tough course... Do you live here or are you coming for the marathon? (The time I quoted does not apply to this particular race)
Just coming for the marathon and other business. Tough course... dang. I've been looking for an elevation profile to get a feel. I found the course layout for 2014 and it looks like it goes all over the place.
I don't care what anyone's else PR is. I don't expect anyone to care what my PR is.
I can't imagine why people would laugh at another person's time when the reality is that there are very few folks who are truly fast. Other than them, everything else is relative. I'm fast compared to some but my 5K race pace is the easy pace for truly competitive runners. I'm the first person to suggest that it's not a good idea for someone to be running a marathon on 30 miles per week but I'm also one of the folks who hangs around in a 5K and cheers for the last finishers.
Short Term Goal - 17:59 5K
Medium Term Goal - 2:54:59 marathon
Long Term Goal - To have been a runner half my life (I started at age 45)
I don't care what others PR's are. Mine I do running is a me thing and I try and remind myself that. I will run with slow and fast people I just like to run. I see no joy in run shamming someone and look down on it
I run
I'd never laugh at another person's PR. Heck in my book you're a winner just for trying or finishing and deserve a medal!

mile 5:49 - 5K 19:58 - 10K 43:06 - HM 1:36:54
Personally, I called him a damn liar for saying that he ran "2:50 something" when he really ran 4+ hours. That's not something you do by accident.
Bad example. He lied. And stupidly lied about something that could be easily verified. No one would have had anything bad to say about him if he'd run an average or even a slow marathon. But claiming sub-3? Lame.
That's such an obvious lie. Most runners would remember their PR down to the minute, especially if it were above average, like a sub-3.
How do you know if a politician is lying? Their lips are moving.
In some cases, I was following a fast running, good looking, seductively clad woman. In others, I was making a half-hearted attempt to do speed work, despite my absolute hatred of it. In any case, the following results are intended for entertainment purposes only, not because I'm trying to be the next Speed Racer of running.
mile - 6:48 (9/17/13)
3k - 13:20 (9/3/13)
2 miles - 14:12 (11/14/13)
3 miles - 22:40 (9/21/13) - 22:22 (1/26/14)
5 miles - 38:04 (11/22/13)
So....why do people put their PR's in their signatures?
Just curious.
To give others a good laugh!
I do it because those are my achievements, and most people here knows how hard you have to work for those seconds. Some people put 13.1 and 26.2 stickers ( here we go again on their car, it's their choice. For me it's nice to see how other runners making progress here, by crossing they old PR and post a new. Regardless of speed.
Laughing at somebody because of their capabilities just rude in general, I learned that when I was 7.
Current PR's : Could be better.
"I used to be very conceited, but today I'm perfect."

I have a MacBook Pro with Retina Screen running OS X 10.8.2, and just installed ST2 build 2220 because I was having some serious performance issues with scrolling and selecting text. While this build does seem to be smoother, it is now constantly eating about 15% of my CPU while the app is in focus and a window is open, which is JUST enough to start my fans up. Screenshot of Activity Monitor:
If I switch apps or close all ST2 windows, it stops. The issue only occurs while a ST2 editor window is open and active. Doesn't seem to matter what file format / syntax.
I have zero packages installed, and I uninstalled Package Control too.
Just letting you know! Apologies if this is not the correct place or format to submit a bug report.

The towering, stone Bethlehem Steltz Reformed Church in Codorus Township was built in 1935 for $46,000.
Today, church deacon Stuart Hendrix says the property is valued at $5 million.
"The windows themselves, you probably couldn't replace them," Hendrix said. "In fact, people don't want to insure them."
The Bethlehem Steltz congregation, which has about 100 members, is protective and proud of its church and historic cemetery. To that end, they want to preserve and share it with the public.
Hendrix is leading an effort to get the church property added to the National Register of Historic Places.

These Chariot wheels aren't quite what you'd expect; they sold in a recent Bonhams antiquities sale for £19,200, but they are rather old, running-in at about 4000 years of age.
The saleroom notice attached to this lot read:'It has been suggested that these wheels are Elamite, circa late 2nd millennium BC. A similar wheel from Choqa Zanbil can be seen in the National Museum of Iran, Tehran.'

The news has come out that the Warriors have traded Dorell Wright to the Sixers (old news), but have acquired Jarrett Jack from the Hornets, who will receive the international player from the Sixers.
This is great news! They get a terrific, defensive minded, back up point guard that could easily start if Curry gets injured. Now they can turn their attention to a back up big or SG.

Great pickup. Okay capologists, how much under luxury tax do we have left. I know we still have full MLE but I think that would put us over now?

He can easily start in place of a possibly (let's hope not) injured Curry.

I am wondering what is next, signing Rush and a back-up PF (JJ Hickson) is key. Not sure how much money is left to go around.
Jack is a solid, power PG, who will bring some toughness at the PG position to give breaks to Curry and insurance if he goes down again.

Hickson is out of the picture. He's with the Blazers with a one-year deal.

LAS CRUCES >> There's a big project potentially on the horizon.
The Mesilla Valley Economic Development Alliance reports that an electronics manufacturer wants to locate a new facility and that Doña Ana County at least is on the radar. MVEDA refers to the project as arguably the largest capital investment opportunity in the nation with 3 million square feet of space needed and about 1,600 jobs created with an average salary of $62,500.
"This project probably represents the most competitive project for the U.S. right now," MVEDA reports in an email it sent out to partners. "It is BIG."
Does Doña Ana County have a shot of landing such a project? What about the joint call center/manufacturer operation that could bring 600 jobs or the food processing and distribution facility that could be 300,000 square feet and bring 327 jobs?
That remains to be seen, of course, but the news goes to show what kind of work MVEDA is up to as it is about to enter the third month of its new fiscal year.
"With most of these large companies, these large projects of a national scale, to get some activity and in some cases (have companies) coming to the area and doing due diligence is a great sign," said MVEDA President and CEO Davin Lopez. "The size of some of these projects are unlike anything we've seen in the past six or seven years.
"It's a good trend to see; you have projects of a large scale looking for a home and that shows more activity taking place," Lopez said. "The challenge is that the size of the infrastructure (needed) is so large that it may be difficult to respond to them."
Still the group believes it has built some momentum. In its recently released annual report, MVEDA summarizes that is has completed what it considers its fourth-best year in the organization's history.
"This follows two successful prior years where on average, over 500 new, economic-based jobs per year have been added to the region," the report states. "Given our relatively small budget compared to competitive communities of equal size, our ability to sustain three successful years in a row, during economic challenging times, is unprecedented."
Terry Jack, president of the High Tech Consortium of Southern New Mexico, said that his group works with MVEDA and he has a very positive view of the economic development group.
"It's the only organization that cuts across city, county and all the other industry focused groups," Jack said. "MVEDA is the only one that pulls that all together. They're in the middle of everything."
Recently, W Silver Recycling, a metal recycling company with locations in El Paso and Albuquerque, was one of multiple businesses that announced it would locate or expand in Santa Teresa. It will be making its "single largest investment in the region," president Lane Gaddy said. He attributes MVEDA as one of the main reasons the company chose southern Doña Ana County.
"We were looking at locations in El Paso and we told Davin that we were interested in Santa Teresa as well," he said.
MVEDA in conjunction with the Border Industrial Association made the move possible.
"Without them strong-arming us, the time line might have been longer," he said. "They really helped."
Recently Lopez attended an event hosted by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, the largest unmanned vehicle related show in the county. MVEDA joined forces with the New Mexico Partnership and the Physical Science Lab from New Mexico State University. Plus companies, like Northwire from Santa Teresa, were along to help sell the area.
"We just completed our first trade show of the year," he said. "We had about 15 meetings set up and helped host an off-site dinner. We're getting better exposure."
MVEDA, which is publicly and privately funded, now has to compete for funding from Doña Ana County. MVEDA reports that the county has issued a request for proposal for economic development services that the organization originally replied to, but will have to do so again.
"All proposals have been rejected for 'ambiguous and inadequate specifications,'" the group said in its email to partners. "We expect a new RFP to be issued that will have clarifying language for the desired services, including marketing, promotion, and business retention services. Thanks to all the partners and stakeholders that testified on our behalf at the county commission meeting."
"We're going down a second route for an RFP," Lopez said. He said there was a good turnout of people, like Jack with HTC, who spoke before the county commission on behalf of MVEDA. "We had absolutely wonderful turnout and testimonials and support."
