Cheap Mystery Box for $1
Alright Wooters we had some requests for a few mystery boxes so we decided this week we would do something a little different. We are going to provide you with 5 Mystery Boxes to choose from ranging in price from $1.00 to $10.00(or get some of each of course)
Each are posted seperate but here are the links:
54 Comments add a comment
Is there going to be a new deal posted every day with a new link? I ask because of the "First 50" each day.
If these links do stay up the entire time; are you CST?EST? (so I know when to order to hopefully be 1 of the first 50)
@devexityspace: These same deals will stay up all weekend, we are Mountain Standard time so base your purchase on that.
Are there any past results of what could possibly be in these mystery boxes?
Something like this (but for bkindustries.org instead) :
?? that would be helpful...
The links here AUTOMATICALLY add the visited item to your shopping cart. If you go to all five links, it will add all five items to your cart REGARDLESS of whether you click add to cart or not. They are counting on you to not read your order and not notice you ordered 5. READ YOUR ORDER FIRST.
I am currently in for 2 BK BOC's from last weekend and now with this massive Mystery Box Weekend I went in for one Medieval, one Mystery Item, and five Cheap Mysteries Cost me $41 shipped, A tad bit but seems worth it to me based on the quarantined items alone from the $10 boxes.
But this will be my last until I start seeing some posts with contents... every weekend boxes will get to be to much for me. I am however excited for the ones I am waiting for.
Im a sucker for the dang mystery boxes! got 1 knife box, 1 $5 box and now 1 w/ guaranteed machete and folding shovel
Anybody else try to buy, and cancel. My version of firefox doesn't get the secure lock. Don't see an option for Paypal either.
I believe the site processes credit cards through GPal to sell items because Paypal does not allow the sale of weapons. They have specified this before in previous deals.woot posts. Also, from what I have seen from everyone they are a secure site - They have had numerous boxes posted within the last few weeks.
Only payment method is GPal.net. The last step in the ordering process sends you to Gpal to provide payment details.
This site keeps adding and removing things from my cart. I don't trust it... But I would like a shovel and machete...
Shipping rates make me sad...
Might be in for one or two later.
@bschie: I think the link from the deal must have user info or something associated with it. I had the same issue with the cart changing until I closed the tab, and just went back to bkindustries.org without clicking on the links from the deal.
"Friends borrow your Folding Shovel or Machete Often?"
ha! sorry. i try not to hang out with serial killers.
@kungfoolio: That's why they won't be getting my business.
In for 2 Medieval boxes.
Got a ren faire I am going to in about 5-6 weeks. Hopefully my boxes come in before then.
I also got a couple of the "early" boxes--but until I get them and see what I got--no more boxes for me.
In for one of the "machete/shovel boxes. You never know when the zombies might come. Threw down for 3 of the $1.00 boxes. I hope I get something I don't throw away!!!
@mattlscc: I will post a New page in the site that will show what items (and how many) were in past boxes, I will work on that in the next day or so and get it up.
Oh it's tempting. But I haven't gotten my previous boxes yet so I'm going to have to pass. I think. Or come up with a plausible excuse for the wife.
Anyone ever ordered from them, I'm on the fence.
Or ordered one of these boxes?
I've ordered. haven't received the boxes yet, but am hopeful for cool things.
@carl669: How long ago was that? Do they give tracking numbers? I would imagine not, but wondering.
Well .. I suckered in. Hope I get good stuff. I'll post what I get when I get it.
@jp4411: According to BKindustries -- your order info page on his website will update to show shipped--once it does.
Not sure if it will ahve tracking numbers or not. Most of us that have bought the boxes have not had them shipped yet--but there is a thread on this site that asks what people have received (I think some of the military boc's have shipped and there are one or two posts on what people have received).
I am sorry if I am repeating a question that has already been posted but is possible that orders will/can be combined or will multiply shipping charges apply?
@jp4411: it's been right around 2 weeks. they say 2-3 weeks to ship. not sure about the tracking #'s
It could even be a boat! Lois you know how I've always wanted one of those..
@carl669: Some orders will have tracking numbers, some won't it really depends on what shipping method was chosen. But the orders will be marked shipped once they go out. more then half of the military ones have gone out the other half should be going out this week. (the 3rd week)
@bkindustries: gotta fix your cart, dude... tried ordering 2 of the $5 boxes, and then went to my cart to find a $10 box and $1 box had also been added. clicked "delete" on the $10 box and when the cart refreshed there was another $5 box in there.
fought with the cart for a minute or two but random (mod edit: profanity) kept popping in there (using Firefox, btw).
@packman711: don't think that nobody got that reference.
You gamblers are all so funny to me.
In for
1 x Medieval Mystery Box (MCMEDIEVALBOX) = $10.00
1 x Secret Mystery Box (Mystery Box 1) = $5.00
1 x A Mystery Box (ROAmysteryBox) = $10.00
Signing up for the site seems to have fixed my former problem with the cart... but then I saw that buy 2 Secret boxes was costing me more in shipping than the box itself so I said forget it :(
in for
5x cheap mystery boxes
1x medieval mystery box
1x arcade mystery box(I've got a kid)
1x a mystery mystery box
Would have bought a Secret Mystery box but i believe buying Pepper spray over state lines is illegal in NY...so no idea what i would get
For those of you having problems with the cart, try using IE. The site seems to get really confused in Firefox.
@packman711 Then take the boat Peter!
No one gotten a box yet?
Ooooo I hope I was one of the last 50 for tonight! I ordered a Medieval box and a secret box! I can't wait to see whats in there!
There is still 1.5 hours left so there is still a lot of orders that could come through. Ordering in an hour (11:30pm MST) would be the best chance for the 50 last
@lovefridays: Placed my order on the 31st, just received tracking # today...now more waiting, will let you know what arrives :)
@bkindustries shoot, I didn't think about the timezones... I was basing my purchase off EST! :-P
The wait is unbarable.. .. I think I dreamt about receiving them last night(3 boxes).. hahahaa
New Mystery Box is Up http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/3521e966-b0e3-4175-a232-b99aaee30e64/mystery-box
FINALLY! Received my cheap mystery box, today. It was really a small mystery evelope and it contained a pair of over the ear earphones and 5 pairs of covers so that I can change the outside of them and be fashionable :). Product worth a $1.00 Shipping charge not worth the $5.49, especially since it wasn't even overnite or rush.
Won't purchase MB from this vendor again. For the same reason I don't gamble, I would rather use my money on something I choose and it's a sure thing.
I hope the rest of you get better crap....or at least more of it...or whatever the positive side of crap is. Good luck with the deal.
Peace out.
@lovefridays: Well I honestly say that your either confused or lying, because the cheap mystery boxes haven't even started to ship out, perhaps you bought something from someone else and you forgot?
Also, there is NO (and never will be) any earphones in the boxes.
@bkindustries: You are correct I did make an error and posted to the wrong vendor...should be and now has been posted to T and T daily deals. I am sorry for posting to the wrong board :(. However, you don't need to be a jerk and make accusations of lying. It was a mistake, I corrected.
It must be nice to have so much business that you can be rude to both past and possibly future customers. I know that if I weren't involved in this posting but read it from the outside, there's no way I would do business with someone who accuses of lying. Probably a better way you could have handled this.
@lovefridays: I wasn't trying to come acrossed as rude, there was probably a better way of phrasing what I was trying to say, I apologize, there has just been so many "attacks" against us during these deals that it gets me on edge and I respond hastily instead of really thinking through my responses.
I probably should have left it with the confused part, but as I said I have just been responding quickly without really thinking the response through. Again I am sorry, I didn't mean it to be a rude comment.
@bkindustries: Accepted :)
Has anybody gotten any boxes from this guy yet? I can't find any of his listings on here where someone has actually received a box.
@wilkinsmoo: Check each of the mystery box pages, hundreds have already received them, its just that only about 1% ever report what they got on woot (typically those that didn't like what they got or those that are major wooters)
Also type in bkindustries in the forum side and you can see a couple strings about what you got in your package.
@bkindustries: What forum side?.. I can't find any on any of your sites.

If two Calabi-Yau 3-folds are bi-rational to each other via a Flop , then what is the relation between their mirrors ?
I assume the question regards the coherent sheaves on these two CY's. These CY's should be regarded as the "same" complex manifold with two different choices of complexified symplectic forms ("Kahler form," in physics terminology).
The mirrors are a "single" symplectic manifold with two different complex structures on it. There is a curve of complex structures relating the two.
That's about it. The tricky part is to "parallel transport" the category of coherent sheaves along this curve, using a "flat family of categories" defined by stability conditions. Doing so should provide a preferred isomorphism of the categories. Examples have been studied, but general statements (like the ones I have glibly been making) are not proven.
Small contractions are mirrors to degenerations, so: degenerate, then deform out.

Death Toll Mounts in Algeria Siege
An American from Texas was among the hostages killed at a remote natural-gas site in Algeria, the State Department said Friday, as the Algerian military continued to try to free those still being held and the first accounts emerged from the chaotic scene.
A French national was also killed during Algeria's rescue attempt, France's foreign minister said.
Algeria's national news service said 30 people—12 Algerian and foreign workers and 18 hostage-takers—were killed since the start of an army rescue raid that was mounted after militants took dozens of foreign hostages Wednesday at the gas installation in southeast Algeria. Those numbers couldn't be confirmed.
The growing threat posed by North Africa-based terrorist groups is intensifying an internal Obama administration debate over just how direct a military role the U.S. should play in combating the region's extremism, according to American officials involved in the deliberations.
Some U.S. officials now are specifically calling for a larger deployment of American drones over countries like Libya, Mali, Algeria and Mauritania, as well as the insertion of more Pentagon special-operations units and other U.S. counterterrorism assets.
"It is absolutely essential that we broaden and deepen our counterterrorism cooperation going forward with Algeria and all countries in the region," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday.
Narratives of chaos at the vast desert installation began to emerge from officials and escaped hostages. One escaped captive described being forced by kidnappers into vehicles to flee the site, only to see most of the convoy hit in an apparent Algerian attack. Another escapee described hiding for more than 40 hours, communicating in code with Algerian employees of the site.
The tally of those remaining unaccounted-for included 10 Japanese, six Norwegians and seven Americans, according to those governments. At least 10 Britons remained at risk.
The Algerian Press Service didn't name the nationalities of the foreigners it said were killed. The APS said there had been 132 foreign hostages, and nearly half were released in the raid.
The siege began early Wednesday when militants suspected to have ties to al Qaeda's regional affiliate—estimated to number 30 to 40, according to witness and official estimates—stormed a gas installation in southeast Algeria near the Libyan border, in an area called In Amenas. Some 700 people work at the site, run by BP BP 1.21 % PLC, Norway's Statoil AS STO 0.44 % A and Algerian energy company Sonatrach.
Members of al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, claimed they took the hostages in retaliation for France sending combat troops last week to support Mali's battle against al Qaeda-backed militants. U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron and Algeria's interior minister said they believe the militants are operating under AQIM.
If so, the hostage operation would add a new line of narrative to the hostilities between al Qaeda and the U.S. that now span nearly a generation. The hostage-taking's alleged mastermind has proposed trading two American hostages for two jailed militants in the U.S., Mauritania's ANI news agency reported Friday.
Among the two he reportedly seeks is Omar Abdel Rahman, better known as the "blind sheik," who is serving a life sentence at a federal penitentiary in North Carolina for his role in planning the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City. The report couldn't immediately be verified. A U.S. State Department spokesman said Friday the U.S. doesn't negotiate with terrorists.
The State Department late Friday identified the slain American as Frederick Buttaccio. Public records list two Frederick Buttaccios in Texas, both living at the same address in the town of Katy. The elder Mr. Buttaccio, 58, worked in the oil industry, according to a securities filing by a company that listed him as treasurer. The younger is listed as 31 years old. Attempts to reach an address associated in public record with the Buttaccios, which is located inside a gated community, were unsuccessful.
"We express our deepest condolences to his family and friends. Out of respect for the family's privacy, we have no further comment," said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the U.S. is working with the U.K. and Algerian governments to assess developments. Mr. Panetta, in London for a scheduled visit, discussed the hostage situation with Mr. Cameron in a talk that was more about policy than tactics, a senior U.S. defense official said.
U.S. and U.K. officials declined to comment on whether the two countries were insisting the Algerians take a different approach or whether they would seek to intervene directly. The U.K. said it has offered "technical and intelligence support"—including from experts in hostage negotiation and rescue—but that Algeria hadn't accepted the offer and there were limits to what could be done in a sovereign country.
The U.K.'s Mr. Cameron described the attack as large, well-coordinated and probably preplanned. Militants first attacked two buses en route to the In Amenas airfield Wednesday, before attacking a residential compound and the gas facility, he said he was told by Algerian Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal.
Among the crisis's first fatalities was a British citizen who was killed Wednesday while traveling in the convoy to the airfield, Mr. Cameron said. About 10 to 15 British nationals remain at risk, a person familiar with the matter said. Other workers were taken hostage in separate locations, both at the residential compound and the gas facility, Mr. Cameron said. Nationals of nearly a dozen countries were among the hostages.
The militants attempted to move at least some hostages Thursday, according to one of the hostages, 36-year-old Stephen McFaul, an electrical engineer from Belfast who was working for BP, a spokesman for his family said. The vehicles were hit when Algerian forces appeared to try to stop them, according to Mr. McFaul's account.
Mr. McFaul, who had left for Algeria the day after Christmas, called his wife from the site by cellphone early hours Wednesday and told her that there was gunfire and the compound was under attack, the spokesman said. He contacted her later that morning and told her that he had been taken hostage and told her that he understood that the kidnappers were demanding the hostages be exchanged for al Qaeda prisoners in Mali, the spokesman said.
Mr. McFaul told his family that the kidnappers attempted to move their captives in a convoy of about five vehicles and that they strapped clay-like explosives to Mr. McFaul.
Four of those five vehicles were hit when the Algerian authorities tried to stop them, said the spokesman. The fifth vehicle, which Mr. McFaul was in, turned over. He said he escaped through a broken window, with only a grazed hand. He helped rescue another man from another vehicle and then ran, according to the spokesman.
Meanwhile, an Algerian BP staffer said in an interview that he was freed from captivity at In Amenas about midday on Thursday, after the Algerian military assault began.
During his time in captivity, this person said, he judged the hostage takers to be al Qaeda members who were "Libyans, Malians, Tunisians and Algerians." His assessment was based primarily on the northern African accents he said he discerned as the captors spoke in Arabic after the siege began.
The BP staffer confirmed that some hostages had died during the military raid. Based on what he saw, the man said, at least two Algerians and perhaps 20 to 30 foreigners were killed.
Freed Algerian hostages, in interviews with Algerian state television, described how they escaped from a hall where up to 400 Algerians were being held, as the military began its rescue attempt. It also interviewed foreign workers freed in the operation—among them two Filipinos, a Turkish citizen, two Britons and an Irish man.
In Norway, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said Friday his nation needs to prepare for the worst, as eight Norwegians—who all worked for Statoil—remained unaccounted for. Statoil's head of international operations, Lars Christian Bacher, said nine employees who have been brought to safety after the attack all suffered "extreme stress."
BP said Friday that a small number of its employees at the In Amenas gas facility were unaccounted for after Algerian forces attacked armed militants holding hostages Thursday. The company was arranging flights from Algeria from 11 of its own workers and several hundred from other companies; those began arriving in the U.K. on Thursday and were continued to continue on Friday.
Some people at the facility managed to stay out of harm's way until help arrived.
Alexandre Berceaux, a French man who was running operations at the facility for French catering company CIS, said he hid in his room for about 40 hours before being freed. Hauled up in the living quarters near the gas installation, Mr. Berceaux surrounded himself with planks of wood for protection and had a password system for communicating with Algerian colleagues.
Mr. Berceaux was initially unaware of the rescue mission. "I heard many gunshots in bursts," he said. "When the soldiers came to get me we still didn't know it was over."
Mr. Berceaux said he was rescued by soldiers dressed in green, who he thinks were Algerian. An injured hostage and three U.K. citizens who were hiding in a false ceiling nearby were evacuated at the same time as him, he said.
"I think there are still people hidden," he said. "They are adding things up."

Glinda was also part of the original movie, and like the original she is still a very sweet, but forceful witch that will stop at nothing to keep her people safe and happy. Glinda aids Oscar or Oz in his destiny journey because she knows that deep inside he is a good and kind. Like with Oz, I tried making the character look as close to the actor who plays Glinda and that's Michelle Williams. So here is "how to draw Glinda" the Witch from Oz the Great and Powerful. Have fun and be sure to try your best so your drawing some out awesome.

I know the round $n$-sphere has $f_i=\cos(dist(e_i, x))$ as the set of first eigenfunctions for $e_i=(0, \cdots, 1, \cdots, 0)\in \mathbb R^{n+1}$. i.e. $\Delta f_i=\lambda_1 f$, where $\lambda_1$ is the first eigenvalue of $\Delta$.
So I am wondering whether there is a similar description for the 'round' complex projective spaces?

The 5 Most Disastrous Marketing Failures of All Time
In a world where it feels like we're all brainwashed by corporate marketing campaigns, it's nice to see them fall flat on their faces now and then. And trust us, when big promotional stunts go wrong, that shit can get ugly.
We've covered many of these marketing screw-ups in the past, as part of our continuing effort to mock our corporate overlords:
#5. Jagermeister Sponsors a Pool Party, Turns the Water into Poison
Like most disastrous plans, this one looked pretty sweet on paper. "We're the prime party beverage for frat boys who are already too drunk to know what they're ingesting, so let's throw them a big, sexy pool party! It'll be sexy ladies in bathing suits and hunky dudes all partying in sunny Mexico, with plenty of Jagermeister to go around!"
"It'll be like magic! And it'll taste like magic markers!"
Sounds great! "Oh, and you know what would be really cool? If the swimming pool had this cool mist coming off of it, like in a music video or some shit. Let's dump a bunch of liquid nitrogen into the water! Shit, I wonder why nobody has tried this before!?!"
The Telegraph
"Oh ..."
Here's a tip that's applicable both to corporate events and backyard pool parties: Do a quick Google search beforehand to make sure that nothing you're dumping into your pool has the potential to react and create a fucking chemical warfare agent. If the party organizers had done this, they'd have realized what happens when pool chlorine and liquid nitrogen combine. The result is nitrogen trichloride, a toxic gas that will break up just about any party:
As you can see, nitrogen trichloride creates a horrific knock-out gas more effective at dispersing a crowd than anything the riot cops normally use to break up Jagermeister parties. People began hacking and coughing almost immediately, then passing out -- all together, eight people were hospitalized, and one guy even ended up in a goddamn coma (he wound up spending 18 days in the hospital). All of this while bangin' rave music blared in the background, because block-rockin' beats are the official soundtrack to any summer tragedy in the making.
At least four complaints were filed with the government, and Jagermeister was quick to issue a statement reminding everyone that they are normally all about promoting safe drinking activities, like swimming while drunk.
#4. United Way Drops 1.5 Million Balloons All Over Cleveland
Cleveland is one of those places that constantly needs good PR to distract people from the reality that it's Cleveland, and to help everyone forget about the debacle that was 10-cent beer night. So on September 27, 1986, the United Way set up a promotion with a safe, family-friendly angle. They decided on balloons. Shitloads and shitloads of balloons. In an attempt to break the world record set just a year before by the city of Anaheim, California, the United Way scheduled Balloon Fest, featuring the simultaneous release of 1.5 million of the things. Sure enough, it looked cool as hell:
Thom Sheridan
Like a giant, agile cat, springing upward and bursting into pixels.
What could go wrong with that? Everybody loves balloons. After the release, it was assumed they would do what balloons naturally do -- fly further upwards until they pop.
However, the people in charge clearly tuned out after Willard Scott wished a bunch of centenarians a happy birthday and didn't stick around for the local forecast. If they had, they would've known it was going to rain hard that day. The rain pushed the balloons back down -- until downtown Cleveland was buried under a layer of balloons, as if the city had been the victim of the world's lamest Batman villain.
Thom Sheridan
"The Jackson Pollocker strikes again!"
Over the following weeks, it became clear just how damaging a million-plus balloons can be. A runway at Burke Lakefront Airport had to shut down because running over thousands of exploding helium balls isn't the best way to speed up pre-flight. A woman's prize horses panicked at the sight of thousands of balloons and injured themselves, resulting in a $100,000 settlement.
But then it got much, much worse. Thousands of balloons descended upon Lake Erie during a search and rescue mission for two missing boaters ...
... exactly as the lame Batman villain had planned ...
... and it became impossible to find two bobbing heads when there were suddenly countless objects that looked like heads. By the time the Coast Guard finally found the boaters, they had long since drowned. Holy shit, this story got dark all of a sudden.
The United Way ended up facing a $3.2 million lawsuit from the widow of one of the boaters. She later settled for an undisclosed sum, and fortunately nothing bad ever happened in Cleveland ever again.
All right, we promise nobody dies in this next one ...
#3. Guns N' Roses Calls Dr Pepper's Bluff
In 1994, Guns N' Roses announced their album Chinese Democracy. By 2008, we were still waiting for it, and it'd become almost to easy to mock Axl Rose for sitting on his ever-widening ass and watching Family Feud all day instead of finishing the damn album.
Frazer Harrison/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Slash, meanwhile, released four albums and founded two bands.
Dr Pepper decided to capitalize on Rose's bullshit. In March of 2008, they announced that they would give a free can of Dr Pepper to every American should the album come out before the end of the year. It seemed like a win-win for the company -- not only were they offering free stuff that they'd never actually have to follow through on, they painted themselves as a bunch of cool-ass music lovers, simply out to give Rose that one final bit of motivation to release the album (after all, unless his non-recording activities included "renounce America," he would get a free can too). It was the perfect plan ... unless, of course, Rose actually released the damn thing.
Which, naturally, he totally did. Less than eight months after Dr Pepper announced the campaign, Guns N' Roses dropped Chinese Democracy at long last, and the Pepper people were screwed. Not only were they not prepared to give away hundreds of millions of cans of their product, they didn't actually have a way for people to claim their can. They hastily set up a website, which crashed under the weight of millions and millions of simultaneous clicks.
Healthcare.gov, Stefan Robkopf
Speaking of too-easy jokes: Dr Pepper's next web venture.
Ultimately, very few people (if any) got a free can. To make matters worse, Rose sued the company for lying to the people. Because if there's anybody who abhors dishonesty and empty promises, it's Axl fucking Rose.
Speaking of disastrous corporate giveaways ...

President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary order for the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862. Although by January 1st the document was signed, it was a few years before black freedom was recognized in the South.
One of the first tools for change was education. Now that former slaves could be taught to read and write, funding was needed for the schools. In New Orleans, abolitionists sold pictures that showed very light-skinned mixed-race slave children longing to read. To the naked eye, the children appeared to be Caucasian.
The 25-cent photos were taken and distributed in the mid to late 1860's in order to draw more money and sympathy from rich whites in the North for the black slaves of New Orleans. The children were posed in ways that would be 'appealing' to sympathetic whites. The National Freedman's Association, the American Missionary Association and officers from the Union Army fostered the propaganda.
Four mixed-race children were used in the pictures, like 11 year-old Rebecca Huger, who had worked in her father's home during slavery. She was carefully seated next to patriotic symbols of freedom while the caption read "Oh, how I loved the old flag." The other children were Charles Taylor, Rosina Downs and Augusta Broujey. In a few of the photos, the children were paired with darker-skinned slaves, or former slaves, then sent on publicity tours raise monies.
The signs even sometimes read "White and Black Slaves" to build a sense of urgency among whites. The photos sometimes went into detail about the slave's life and ownership. For instance, Wilson Chinn, an older dark-skinned slave was described as 'about 60 years old' with the initials of his former 'owner' branded on his head with a hot iron. There were stories of cuts and lashes on the bodies of the slaves in the picture to build sympathy. There were also stories of progression and education for some of the children, highlighting their ability to learn like that of white children.
The U.S. Library of Congress currently holds many of the photos.

The petrochemical major is expanding current facilities, CEO Jim Gallogly says, while waiting for longer-term trends in US gas pricing before deciding on anything new.
By Ben DuBose
Online Editor
HOUSTON -- Petrochemical major LyondellBasell
will wait for longer-term trends in US natural gas pricing
before deciding on whether to build a new US facility, CEO Jim
Gallogly said on Wednesday.
Instead, the company is seeking to capitalize on current low
natural gas prices through the more immediate method of
expanding current facilities, Mr. Gallogly said at the
IHS World Petrochemical Conference.
Our expansion in La Porte is equivalent
to half of a world-scale cracker, he said. We also
have the possibility of expanding at Channelview.
Our first priority is to get assets on the ground today
that will capture margins early. We know there will be excess
ethane in the near-term.
That strategy is somewhat different from industry rivals
such as Dow Chemical and Shell. Those companies have plans in
the works to build new US olefins facilities in coming years.
LyondellBasell, however, said in late 2011 that
it will boost ethylene capacity by 386,000
tpy via an expansion at
its established plant in La Porte, Texas.
In addition, the company is expected to increase its
processing capacity for ethane feedstocks by 228,000
tpy in Channelview, Texas.
LyondellBasell is also considering another project in Channelview, whereby it
would build a new metathesis unit to raise propylene production
by 500 million lb/year of equivalent ethylene.
If you look at the supply-demand economics, it looks
very good for the next five-plus years, Mr. Gallogly
said. We want to capture that margin early.
He noted that brownfield development projects in petrochemicals will have better
economics than greenfield developments.
We have very large facilities in the US, Mr.
Gallogly said. It doesnt mean we wont add
later if extra ethane continues to grow.
Were going to watch how gas prices, ethane
prices and fractionation plans develop, and then make decisions
in a reasonable way.
Currently, natural gas is trading in the US at just
above $2/MMBtu, with prices depressed largely due to perceived
abundant shale resources.
Some have speculated that US prices will rebound to
traditionally higher levels in coming years, though, especially
if government regulations against fracking act as a deterrent
to production. That, in turn, would push feedstock prices higher for
petrochemical firms such as LyondellBasell, thereby squeezing
The 2012 World Petrochemical Conference lasts
through Thursday at the Hilton Americas in downtown Houston.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work.

Is 2016 the peak for US gasoline demand?

To me, "over easy" seems to refer to the pan, because I think of a pan sitting atop an easy flame. "Over hard" makes me think it refers to the egg, because the liquid becomes solid. Then again, maybe it's something else altogether.

There's not really such a thing as over easy scrambled eggs. It originates with fried eggs, where it means turn them over gently (easy, carefully) and cook for for a few seconds more before serving, so the white is fully set (not "snotty"). That's gently because you don't want to break the yolk.
The opposite to over easy is sunny side up (i.e. - don't do that turning over).
EDIT: Because over easy is so well-known in the above context, and because there are no other standard terms to describe how you want your eggs (unlike, say, rare, medium, bloody, well-done for steaks), people do sometimes extrapolate variants such as over hard, or apply over easy to scrambled eggs. They're easily understood, but such usages aren't really standard terminology.
EDIT2: It never occurred to me anyone would propose an alternative origin for over easy. Having scoured the Internet, I don't see anything looking remotely like an "authoritative" etymological reference - so unless someone else does, all I can offer is a couple of links supporting what I think...
I'm pretty sure that "over hard" came first: it's diner jargon that the eggs should be flipped over and cooked until they are hard. Now if you want it flipped but not hard, well the opposite of hard is easy, right? (Sure, you could say soft or runny, but diner slang is often supposed to be funny, a bit of an in-joke, and opaque.)
Most likely, easy refers to going easy on the temperature and duration, and hard on the condition of the egg, as you suspect. We can play hard and work hard, but we don't really speak about cooking hard. The egg yolk gets solidifies atop even an easy flame, given enough time. And of course, easy doesn't refer to the liquid condition of the yolk.
These terms refer to the egg, namely to its degree of cooked-ness: over-easy is cooked on both sides but yolk is runny; over-medium is less runny than over-easy, and over-hard is when both the yolk and white is cooked all the way through.

Today is Labor Day, the unofficial end of summer. Children have returned to the classrooms, football has resumed and the days have become noticeably shorter.
It's a time when many people plan for that one last picnic or one last swim.
But it is much more, as the words of Samuel Gompers, the founder of the American Federation of Labor, remind us: "All other holidays are in a more or less degree connected with conflicts and battles of man's prowess over man, of strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another.
Labor Day is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race or nation."
History shows us that Gompers was not totally right, as the bloody battles of Homestead, Pa., in 1892, and at Ford's Rouge complex in the 1930s, for example, remind us.
Labor has become a forgotten issue as our economy struggles to regain strength. Yet, labor built the United States, from miners to Steelworkers. Railroad workers and autoworkers put our country on wheels.
Labor unloads ships and stocks shelves, it places iron at the top of skyscrapers and it sweeps floors when the finished buildings close for the evening.
Today's workers are sending a simple message - that Americans only need the opportunity to have a decent job that pays a decent wage and allows them the chance to seek the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
In short, labor stands ready to combat the growing socialistic trend seen in our country that calls for the greater parts of our lives to be controlled by and paid for by the federal government.
That's a far cry from the can-do spirit that filled America when the first Labor Day was celebrated on Sept. 5, 1882, by the Central Labor Union in New York City. Then - as now -Labor Day was about the building and preservation of a nation and a way of life that is worth protecting.
It's that spirit that we recognize on Labor Day 2012.

Perform black magic with brown butter
|Easy Linguine with Scallops and Brown Butter is a comforting, homespun dish that can be made in minutes. (Renee Brock/Atlanta Journal-Constitution/MCT)
Some call that brown butter. I call it black magic.
Cooking with brown butter is like listening to Billie Holiday; it adds depth, flavor, mystery and just a shade of burn. Plain butter — well, that's Doris Day on a warm sunny afternoon.
I have been using brown-butter variations to sauce fish and vegetables for years. A hazelnutty brown-butter sauce — beurre noisette in French — goes very well with soft-shell crabs, skate wings, clams and all manner of delicate white fish.
Ditto asparagus, green beans, cauliflower, squash and mushrooms. In just a few minutes, brown butter will turn a plain pasta or chicken dish into something elegant, something luxurious.
Not long ago, I began to discover the pleasure of brown-butter baking. First, a simple pound cake. Then a little experimenting with brown butter in other cakes. Soon, I started to notice brown butter in all kinds of dessert recipes — from Rebecca Lang's Brown-Butter Coffeecake with Peaches and Blueberries (from "Around the Southern Table") to Sheri Castle's Browned Butter Peach Upside-Down Cake ("The New Southern Garden Cookbook").
"Brown butter is pretty much like butter plus, butter as an overachiever," says Cynthia Wong, who recently left her job as executive pastry chef at Empire State South to move to London.
"Just the simple act of cooking it until it browns brings out all these wonderful toasted nut and caramel flavors, and even a bit of a savory edge. It adds a depth of flavor I liken to getting a really beautiful crust on a grilled steak."
As I put out a call for sweets made with brown butter, friends started telling me about their brown-butter oatmeal cookies; apple cake with brown-butter/cream cheese frosting; and buttermilk pecan pie with brown butter. And hey, did you see that recipe for winter pear cake with pistachios and brown butter?
Wong turned me on to her rich, dense cake of brown butter, apples and toasted pecans. She says her husband calls it "hiking cake," because you could survive on it for days - should you lose your way in the forest. It calls for steeping a vanilla bean in hot brown butter and yields a batter that is worth eating like ice cream. If you don't like it, take a hike.
Hands on: 10 minutes Total time: 10 minutes Serves: 4
16 ounces linguine (may use spaghetti, angel hair, fettuccine or other pasta of choice)
6 tablespoons butter
12 large sea scallops (about 1 pound), chopped into quarters
1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup toasted breadcrumbs (preferably homemade), plus more for garnish
cup chopped parsley
kosher or sea salt
freshly cracked black pepper
Boil pasta in a large pot of salted water over medium-high heat until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside in a large bowl.
While pasta is boiling, melt butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the butter, stirring regularly, until the solids are just beginning to turn brown, about 3 minutes. Spoon about 1 teaspoon butter over the breadcrumbs and toss to coat. Add the scallops and cook until they are just cooked through, about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and stir in garlic and lemon juice. Dump the scallops and brown-butter sauce over the pasta. Add breadcrumbs and parsley, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Divide into four large serving bowls and garnish with breadcrumbs.

Hands on: 40 minutes Total time: 2 hours, 40 minutes (includes 1 hour cooling time) Serves: 10-12
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
12 ounces butter, cubed
1 vanilla bean
2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
2 cups peeled and thinly sliced apples
1 cup chopped toasted pecans, divided
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Generously spray a tube pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, kosher salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
Place the butter in a cast iron skillet or shallow, heavy-bottomed pot. Split the vanilla bean and scrape the seeds out. Place the seeds and bean in the skillet with the butter. Melt over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and fragrant, about 5-8 minutes. Pour into a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Pick the vanilla bean out of the butter. Whisk in the sugar, followed by the eggs. Using a stiff wooden spoon or rubber spatula, fold in the flour mixture. The batter will be thick and stiff. Fold in the apples and ½ cup of the toasted pecans.
Scrape the batter into the tube pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted close to the tube opening of the pan comes out clean.
Let the cake rest in the pan for 30 minutes. Then turn it out onto a cooling rack and let cool completely. Whisk the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract together until smooth. When the cake is cool, drizzle the cake with the glaze and sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup pecans.

I've researched these deals many times. No matter what I need; whether it's an oil filter, a wiper blade, a complete carburetor, or any of the hundreds of auto parts I order a year, I can and have ALWAYS found a better deal elsewhere (ebay, amazon, etc) without a coupon at all. That's even with a 40% discount. Crazy high prices for almost everything.
Wow, and confirmed. I just shopped for an O2 sensor and found AAP's prices to be double those of other sites.
Not quite true. At AAP I can order online, and by the time I drive to a store It's ready for pick up. No waiting for a shipment, no shipping costs, and easy returns.
I agree with the not-always-true comment. While shopping around for an intake manifold and fuel pump, AAP's prices with the coupon beat anything I've found elsewhere (eBay, Amazon, and the like).
These coupons are almost always invalid when it comes to things you actually want to buy. LOL.
I just used this code to get 6 NGK spark plugs for $40, normally $10 each, and this was better than anywhere else I could find.
I'm thinking there's some kind of nascar feud going on here with all the negative comments. Just the facts... I just checked a front seal kit for a 1998 honda accord lx 4cyl vtec across advance, autozone, & napa. Napa was 31.99, the other 2 were 27.99. With a $10 off $25 that makes advance the cheapest at 17.99.
used 9/25/2013 saved 40$ and got free shipping, only time they have ever competed with rock auto
Thanks for the heads up. I bought some new wiper blades and their clay bars which were $2 higher on Amazon but after the $10 off, it came out to be a great deal. I've been wanting to try these on my car for a while and since I have a store in town, it's a no brainer to save $10!
@maddog8: Not to mention, MOST things available from AAP offer a lifetime warranty -- where other vendors online can't or won't back the product for more than it's original manufacturer warranty -- and then you have to pay to ship it to them to have it honored. Sometimes, it's worth paying a few extra bucks to have that peace of mind.
Agreed. Coupons are great when picking up at store. No shipping cost, no waiting and easy returns.
Saved $30 on a knock sensor my gf car needs. Definitely good deal. Where was this a couple of weeks ago when I had to buy a new battery?
Forget this deal. Rockauto.com is where I buy everything
AAP spams you after you put in the reqired e-mail address. And the last few times I used their website, it was crashing on me. Sometimes works good, sometimes not so good. Also it is always acceptable to pay a little extra for the "choke factor" -- you can actually choke the bastard that sold you something defective.

Sometimes it all comes down to adjustments. The Watertown High girls basketball team came out of the locker room to start the third quarter and played the game they wanted to play all along to produce a 45-32 victory over the Kennedy Eagles Friday night at the Cook Gymnasium.
A 13-point victory seems cozy, but this one was anything but. The Indians (14-1) took advantage of a rather frantic Kennedy (10-4) start that saw Eagles star Shontia Punter hit the bench after picking up two fouls in two minutes. Also, Kennedy did not score its first field goal for 9 minutes and 40 seconds.
After a 10-1 start for Watertown, this looked like a romp-in-the-making at The Cook.
But the Eagles manufactured a rapid turnaround. Punter came off the bench for two quick hoops and Kennedy had the game going at a frenzied pace, just the way the Indians do not like it.
"We were helter skelter," said Watertown coach Ed Lopes. "We were running around. We weren't doing any set plays. We got in (the locker room), we talked about it, and calmed down. Kennedy is an aggressive, physical, smart team, who likes to run, run, run. If we don't slow it down, we're going to lose the game."
The Eagles scored to start the third quarter when Lillian Martinez converted a steal. It was 21-18 Watertown, but the game had been going Kennedy's way for more than nine minutes of play.
But this is where Watertown took things over. Spreading the floor and running some simple cuts and give-and-go sets, Watertown went on a 16-2 run to take charge. Here is the most impressive part of that game-changing burst: Seven different Indians scored.
It was Jamie Zoldy on a break, Abby Collier on a spin move, Sara Selimovski on an offensive board, Nicole Nemense on a pass from Gabby Rinaldi, Danielle Lutkus on the blocks, Becca Brieve a jumper, Zoldy a jumper, and Becca Lopes a cut down the lane.
Now that's spreading the joy.
"We were just not playing out game," said Rinaldi. "In the second half we came out strong and in control. We had patience on offense. That's always been a struggle, and in the second half we executed that."
The Eagles overcame a two-point first quarter, but they could not also overcome a four-point third quarter.
"I don't know what our shooting percentage was tonight, but it was pitiful," said Kennedy coach Jenn Deeley. And speaking on the Indians half-court proficiency, she said, "Our initial defense was very good. Our help defense, obviously, is a weakness that we need to improve upon. They ran the give-and-go and went back door all night long.
"You have to bump the cutters and play help defense to beat a quality team."
Watertown shared the game stats nicely. The Indians did not have one double-figure scorer, but Zoldy and Collier (11 rebounds) led with nine points each. Sara Selimovski added eight, with eight rebounds, and Meg Perrin also scored eight.
Kennedy's Punter led all scorers with 11 points and grabbed eight rebounds. D.J. Alberto pulled down 10 boards.
Watertown ends its interdivisional games with an impressive 6-1 mark against Copper Division schools. The Indians are 8-0 thus far in the Brass. Can they keep this going?
"Well, we know everyone is out to get us now," said Perrin, "but that just fires us up even more."

Tales of Hoffman: A Picnic Operetta
This Saturday, Mixed Precipitation (MP) brings back their hugely popular Picnic Operetta tour in community gardens throughout the metro area. Last year MP performed Orpheus and Eurydice, and this year they return with a modern take on the classic opera Tales of Hoffman. Music director Eric Pearson has arranged the score based on Jacque Offenbach's work (with a little '80s pop thrown in for good measure). Artistic director Scotty Reynolds has said that the first location of the tour, Eat Street Community Gardens, holds special meaning because that's where he and his collaborator, chef Nick Schneider, came up with the concept (they were both living at the Omega House, which owns the property where the garden is located). The two collaborators wanted to create a project that integrated food with a theatrical experience. So while enjoying the show, theater goers can expect a multi-course experience of gourmet delights prepared la tavola fresca style—literally "the fresh table," or food that is freshly picked from the garden. The cast includes Lauren Drasler, Carmelita Guse, John Zeiler, Meredith Cain-Nielsen, and Stephen Houtz, with choreography by Nancy Nair. For tickets call 612.619.2112, or check out their website at www.mixedprecipitation.wordpress.com for info and locations. (Photo by Ty Sassaman)

Singh Sues PGA Tour
Singh Sues PGA PG 0.93 % Tour
On the eve of the Players Championship, the PGA Tour's flagship event, 34-time Tour winner Vijay Singh filed a nasty lawsuit against the Tour. In documents presented Wednesday to a New York court, Singh claimed the Tour exposed him to "public humiliation and ridicule" by sanctioning him in February for using deer antler spray, a substance that was on the Tour's and the World Anti-Doping Agency's banned substance list. The court documents revealed that the Tour suspended Singh for 90 days and held $99,980 of his tournament earnings in escrow. After Singh appealed and during the Tour's investigation, WADA informed the Tour that IGF-1 was no longer on its banned list. As a result, the Tour announced last week that it had dropped the case. Singh is scheduled to tee off at 2 p.m. Eastern Thursday in the Players, on the TPC Sawgrass course in Ponte Vedra, Fla., where he lives a few blocks from Tour headquarters.

A Coaching Award Jinx
Denver's George Karl won the NBA's Coach of the Year award Wednesday. Last week, the Nuggets fell to Golden State in the first round of the playoffs, adding to a recent run of futility for winners of the coaching honor. Since 1975, more winners of the award have lost in the first round (nine) than won titles (two).

Carolyn Vachani, RN, MSN, AOCN
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: August 25, 2006
The "cancer problem" that many people think of as a human phenomenon also affects the animals that live among us. Roughly half of U.S. households are home to companion animals. Like people, more and more companion animals (i.e. dogs and cats) are living longer due to better quality of life, preventive medical care, and vaccinations. And longer life means an increased chance of developing cancer. A study in the early 1980s indicated that nearly half of dogs that lived past age 10 were likely to die of cancer. Just as most of us can expect to have a personal experience with cancer, whether it affects our friends, relatives, or even ourselves, many of us are likely to encounter this disease through our pets as well.
While veterinarians have been treating and studying cancer for some time, it was just a decade ago that veterinary oncology was approved as a board-certified discipline under the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine. In 1994, radiation oncology was approved as a specialty within this field. This was, at least in part, a response to the increasing prevalence of cancer in animals and to pet owners' desire for treatment options besides euthanasia (putting the animal to sleep). The three standard treatments for cancer in humans: surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, have been adapted successfully to help animals with cancer. While the goal in treating people is to cure the cancer, treatment for animals focuses on alleviating pain and suffering along with extending life, as long as the quality of that life can be preserved. Dr. Lili Duda puts it this way: "We're not willing to undertake an aggressive treatment that might cure half of our patients, if it is very likely that the treatment will make the other half suffer from serious and even fatal complications." Therefore, treatment is typically much less aggressive than in humans, where the usual goal is curing the cancer.
When your pet is diagnosed with cancer, you may be uncertain about the choices presented to you. Dr. Duda recommends a second opinion from a board-certified veterinary oncologist. This may confirm a chosen course of treatment or open up new options for your pet. How do I find a board certified veterinary oncologist, you ask?
The veterinary Cancer Society has a helpful website, offering resources for pet owners, including a "Find a specialist in your area". www.vetcancersociety.org
The American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine has a website with a section for pet owners. They are currently adding a resource to find a specialist. www.acvim.org

Lakeview 100 Years of Caring Book
This book covers the first 100 years of Lakeview history (1894 - 1994). Special thanks to the Alumni Centennial Committee for putting this together.
Danville Training School (DTS) for nurses was founded in November of 1894 as a hospital-based school and graduated the first class of four students in 1896. In the 1890s and early 1900s, students entered school under a three month probationary status, and the course of study was two years. Later the curriculum was changed to three years, with two months of initial probation. The applicants were single, white females, between nineteen and thirty years of age.
1911 - 1937 Initial Charter
Admission requirements for student nurses entering DTS in the 1920s included two years of high school and a letter of recommendation from their pastor. In the 1930s, the admission requirements changed to include a high school diploma. The age limit was extended to include single, white females up to the age of thirty-five. The State of Illinois initially approved the diploma program in 1911, the first year the State began recording approval actions. The program was formally certified by the State in 1937, when certificates were first awarded.
During World War II, the Cadet Nurse Corps was established. This was a government program and was designed to encourage young women to enter nursing schools to alleviate the shortage of graduate nurses. These students were provided with tuition, uniforms, books, and a monthly stipend of five dollars. The tuition at this time was fifty dollars per year, including room and board. Many of the students enrolled in Lakeview Hospital School of Nursing during the early 1940s participated in the program. In response to the national demand for Registered Nurses, Lakeview Hospital School of Nursing began admitting two classes of students per year. Recognizing that the benefits of college experience for students included socialization, convenience of location and access to recognized courses in the liberal arts and sciences, Lakeview Hospital School of Nursing established an affiliation in the 1940s with Illinois Teachers' College in Charleston, Illinois, now known as Eastern Illinois University. Instructors from Eastern came to Danville and presented courses on-site for the convenience of the students.
An affiliation between Lakeview Hospital School of Nursing and Danville Junior College, now Danville Area Community College, was initiated in the 1950s for the community college to provide the lower division general education courses. Students were able to complete specific classes that formed a solid foundation for courses in nursing. The affiliations between the College of Nursing, Eastern Illinois University, and Danville Area Community College continue to date by contractual arrangements.
In the 1960s, Lakeview Memorial Hospital School of Nursing admitted the first female student who had been married, but was widowed with two small children. It was approximately at the same time that the first male student was admitted. During the late 1960s black female students were first admitted.
In 1971, the diploma program offered by Lakeview was fully accredited by the National League for Nursing. Nationwide, however, during the past twenty years, many programs of nursing education were integrated into the general system of education at the baccalaureate and associate degree levels.
In 1984, responding to changes in healthcare and in the profession, representatives of the Lakeview faculty and the community implemented a Nursing Education Feasibility Study. This culminated in the recommendation that Lakeview Medical Center School of Nursing consider changing to a degree granting institution at the baccalaureate level: with a name change to Lakeview College of Nursing. The College was granted approval to establish a baccalaureate nursing program by the State of Illinois, Department of Registration and Education in September 1987. In 1988, the College became an independent not-for-profit corporation [501 (c) (3)] at which time the Board committed itself to mission achievement through effective strategic planning and program implementation, thus the institution is financially stable and will continue to achieve its mission for the foreseeable future. At this time Lakeview College of Nursing began to offer a baccalaureate degree in nursing to students who successfully completed a prescribed four-year course of study. The graduates of Lakeview are eligible to apply for the examination for licensure. Graduates are also eligible to apply for, and are encouraged throughout their academic career, to plan on continuing their education at the graduate level. The Webster Memorial Home was established to provide living quarters for elderly women and was donated to Lakeview Memorial Foundation. Lakeview Memorial Foundation accepted the building, in 1988, for use by the College.
In 1993, an imposing brick addition to the Webster Home was completed. The funds for the construction of the new addition came from Lakeview Memorial Foundation. The entire building is now the home of Lakeview College of Nursing and is functioning effectively. A progressive long-term development plan was formulated by the Planning and Development Committee of the Board of Directors. In 1999, Lakeview College of Nursing entered a contractual agreement with the newly developed Associate Degree in Nursing program at Danville Area Community College in order to provide instruction for the second year of their nursing program.
At the start of the new millennium, Lakeview College of Nursing developed a contractual agreement with Eastern Illinois University to bring the Lakeview College of Nursing Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing program to Charleston. Students began to attend classes on the EIU campus in Fall 2001. These students graduated as the first group from this location in Spring 2003. A new contractual agreement was formed with Danville Area Community College whereby DACC began providing administrative services to Lakeview College of Nursing in the Spring of 2002. In the fall of 2006 a building project began on the Danville Campus to provide two additional classrooms and a student study area to better serve the college's growing enrollment. By the fall of 2007 the Danville Campus building expansion was complete and a building at 580 W. Lincoln Ave. in Charleston was purchased to provide a nursing arts lab, faculty offices and an auxilliary classroom to the LCN-EIU students.
An Independent Colleges Capital Improvement (ICCAP) grant was sought and secured in July of 2010 through the Illinois Department of Higher Education in order to provide expansion to the current Charleston facility through two phases. Construction began in November of 2010 for the first phase. Completion of the first phase which included the addition of a student study area, a main office and necessary ancillary space (restrooms, mechanical room, etc.) as well as the remodeling of a current classroom occurred by the beginning of the Fall semester 2011. The second phase of the construction was completed in December 2012. This phase consisted of a new classroom, a new conference area, and the structure for a new nursing skills lab. The third phase of this project began in the Spring of 2013 and focused on renovating faculty office space as well as completing the new nursing skills lab. This project was complete by the Fall 2013 semester. During the summer of 2014, a new computer lab was constructed and implemented for use by the Fall 2014 semester at the Charleston location.

Blue Blogger: Heroes and Villains
- 01 March 2013 10:57
- Posted by @NieldyMCFC / Words by @OptaCity
Adam Carter from statistical wizards and must-follow on Twitter @OptaCity previews Monday's trip to Villa Park.
A trip to Villa Park awaits Roberto Mancini and his band of Champions on Monday night, as the Blues try to maintain their pursuit of Manchester United at the top of the Premier League table. It was at this stage last season, after 28 games, that City surrendered top spot in the league to their neighbours following a 1-0 defeat away to Swansea and we all know how that season panned out!
City usually enjoy their trips to Villa Park in the Premier League, winning 5 (33.33%) of their 15 previous visits there. In fact, the Blues have only won more away Premier League games at one other stadium, Newcastle United's St James' Park (6). The Blues have drawn 6 (40.00%) and lost 4 (26.67%) of the other 10 Premier League matches away to Aston Villa.
The Champions have taken 21 points from the 15 Premier League meetings between the two sides at Villa Park, meaning that in terms of points gained, the home of Aston Villa is statistically City's favourite stomping ground. City have kept 3 (20.00%) clean sheets at Villa Park and have only failed to score in 2 (13.33%) of the 15 matches.
City have scored 17 goals away at Aston Villa in the Premier League, averaging 1.13 goal per game and have only scored more Premier League away goals at Old Trafford (18), St James' Park (18) and Craven Cottage (22). The Blues have also conceded 17 goals at Villa Park, making it the only Premier League ground where the Champions have a zero goal difference (based on a minimum of more than two games played).
Manchester City are facing Aston Villa for the 32nd time in the Premier League era. The Blues have won 17 (54.84%) of the previous 31 Premier League meetings between the two sides, drawing 8 (25.81%) and losing on just 6 (19.35%) occasions. City's points haul of 59 points from the 93 available in the Premier League is also their highest such tally against all the teams they have faced, averaging 1.57 points per game.
The Blues have scored 56 goals (1.80 gpg) against Aston Villa in all 31 of their previous Premier League meetings, again a feat that is unmatched against any other team that City have faced in the Premier League era. In terms of goals conceded, the Champions have seen their goal breached on a mere 30 occasions (0.96 gpg). In addition to this, City have kept 11 (35.48%) Premier League clean sheets against Aston Villa and have only failed to score on 4 (12.90%) occasions.
The most common scorelines between the two sides are 3-1 and 1-0, with both outcomes occurring 5 times. The Blues are seeking out their 5th league double over Aston Villa in the Premier League era.

Improving Quality and Access to Integrated Care for Racially Diverse and Limited English Proficiency Communities
Improving Quality and Access to Integrated Care for Racially Diverse and Limited English Proficiency Communities
Event Date: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - 2:00pm to 3:00pm EDT
The US HHS Office of Minority Health, in collaboration with CIHS, has developed this webinar to inform, educate and train community-based behavioral health and/primary care organizations and practitioners in culturally and linguistically competent integrated care delivery models with the goal of reducing health disparities. Topics to be covered by subject matter experts include: ongoing barriers to care, behavioral health approaches in primary care settings, the new CLAS standards and approaches to assisting providers in delivering quality care to racial and ethnic minority communities. Research and seminal reports demonstrate racial and ethnic minorities and populations with limited English proficiency continue to experience health disparities. Comorbid conditions compound mental health and physical health problems. The webinar will provide specific information about how culturally and linguistically competent integrated care can improve accessibility and the quality of physical health and behavioral health services.
After participation, attendees will:
- Identify persistent challenges faced by racially diverse and ethnic minority populations in accessing and receiving behavioral health services (both mental health and substance abuse) and how medical professionals can more effectively engage the community in services and health promotion efforts utilizing culturally and linguistically appropriate service delivery.
- Describe the role of cultural and linguistic competency in integrated care and how the recently released U.S. Department of Health and Human Services enhanced National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) in Health and Health Care standards provides a needed framework for practitioners and agencies alike.
- Discuss the recommendations related to the delivery of integrated health care services to racially diverse and ethnic minority communities as outlined in the Hogg Foundation/Office of Minority Health Consensus Report on Integrated health Care for Racial and Ethnic Minorities, including Limited English Proficiency Populations.
Webinar time: EDT

Finding Effective Acupuncture Points (9780939616404)
Publisher: Eastland Press
Binding: Paperback
There are many books about acupuncture points, but what is lacking are descriptions by expert practitioners of how they themselves actually go about selecting, finding, and using the points. This type of book would allow the reader to "peer over the shoulder" of the expert to find out what they really do in the clinic.
Finding Effective Acupuncture Points does just that. Shudo Denmei, author of Japanese Classical Acupuncture: Introduction to Meridian Therapy, and a leader of the meridian therapy movement in Japan, has selected about 160 of his favorite points, the ones he actually uses in the clinic. Here he describes in specific detail how to use palpation to find each of the points on the body, and to determine whether or not they are "active." Then he identifies the particular conditions for which each point is best suited, rather than merely reciting a laundry list of all possible indications.
With insightful stories about his own discovery and use of the points in a practice that has spanned nearly five decades, this master teacher brings each of the points to life for other acupuncturists. The book is organized by body region, which makes it especially convenient for finding appropriate points on particular parts of the body. There are also over 90 drawings which illustrate the locations of the points in relation to anatomical landmarks and other points and channels.
