From the moment we made our reservations the staff was exceptional. Before we arrived they helped and made outstanding suggestions on who we should use for our daily excursions. Our group of 19 adults enjoyed the hospitality of the Ambrosia Family! Every room was beautiful and they enjoyed breakfast at the pool each morning! We all look forward to our return visit!

We stayed in the Tree Top Suite for a five day vacation. The private deck was amazing and the suite very comfortable. I was very impressed with the cleanliness and diligence of the lovely lady who cleaned every day. We had planned to go out for breakfast several mornings but the buffet and patio was so incredible we never felt a need to go anywhere. We were in a perfect location and could walk everywhere. It was one of most memorable stays (and that includes our trip to Europe). We will definitely return to Key West and Ambrosia. Thank you for everything.

Institutional brokerage and execution firm WallachBeth Capital has added two industry veterans to the firm's ETF execution division. Chris Hempstead, a 20-year trading market veteran joins as director of ETF execution, and Dong Lee, a 12-year ETF product specialist, joins as director of institutional sales.
According to Michael Wallach, co-founder and CEO of WallachBeth, "The continued growth in the ETF product arena, coupled with our firm's unique approach to true best execution has struck more than a chord with the institutional investor community, and has required us to continuously ramp up our infrastructure with the industry's most talented individuals."
Hempstead most recently ran the ETF desk at Cowen & Company, and spent the majority of his career as a major exchange specialist responsible for ETF market-making for a broad list of issues.
Lee joins the firm after almost four years with The Vanguard Group, the industry's third largest ETF issuer by assets, where he was responsible for ETF distribution for the firm's institutional clients. Prior to that, he spent eight years as a vice president of institutional sales for Legg Mason, the global asset management firm.

Strategies for Defining Your MBA Goals
While it sounds simple enough, many b-school hopefuls struggle with the question of addressing their career goals because although they know they want an MBA, they haven't yet clearly defined what their goals are, and …
While it sounds simple enough, many b-school hopefuls struggle with the question of addressing their career goals because although they know they want an MBA, they haven't yet clearly defined what their goals are, and how earning an MBA degree will help.
Remember, a goal is something you want to achieve. Therefore, "I want to work in investment banking" is not a goal. How then do you go about defining your career goals?
Think about a logical sequence that starts with your past work experience, then your MBA education and ends with your immediate post-MBA goal. Self-awareness about your strengths and interests will help you refine what you want.
In your essays and interviews, you'll want to give some background about why you are interested in your specific career pursuits. It will also add credibility to describe how you tend to approach goals in general. Are you determined despite obstacles? How have you demonstrated your persistence in your career thus far?
Your past experiences have certainly informed your post-MBA plans, and touching on those most relevant will be helpful to setting the background for your current pursuit of an MBA. To make this essay more than a rehash of your resume, think about explaining the rationale for your decisions throughout the essay.
Focus only on relevant examples from your career: the situations that led you to realize what you really want to do or helped you to build skills that have become important to your goals. Often the best indicator of future performance is the past, and therefore examples can support your position that your goals are achievable with an MBA degree.
Believe it or not, it's sometimes helpful to reflect on the negative. By taking a look at your least-favorite moments in your career trajectory so far, it becomes easier to see which functions appealed to you the most and which ones you really disliked. To take your research deeper, talk to colleagues and alumni who have MBAs in your field to see what your career path options are.
One thing I tell people to tap into when they're thinking of their career goals is envy…in the best possible sense. When you think about envy, it probably means you're thinking about people doing things that you wish you were doing. Ask yourself, "Who is this person? What about them would I like to emulate?" That can help you define your goals in many ways.
One final tip: Spend some time thinking about how the specific business school you are applying to will help you achieve your career goals, and use your essays to explain to the admissions committee why their program is the right place to spend the next two years of your life.
Passion for your career choice will come across as you tell your story through essays, discussions with recommenders, and interviews, so it's worth articulating your own dreams in advance. A career path that focuses on demonstrated passions and interests throughout your life is going to be most compelling.
Make sure that your career goals are both realistic and aspirational. Your post MBA goal should be achievable and demonstrate the need for the degree. Once you've come up with a clear, cohesive vision of your career goals, tying it all together with your background and accomplishments is a great first step in a successful application strategy.

How Do You Know if You're Ready for B-School?
Is there such a thing as a right time to apply for an MBA? Many prospective b-school applicants confront this question when they feel that their current career trajectory has stalled. For others, pursuing an …
Is there such a thing as a right time to apply for an MBA? Many prospective b-school applicants confront this question when they feel that their current career trajectory has stalled. For others, pursuing an MBA straight out of undergrad is a no-brainer, as they avoid putting their lives on hold for two years—and forgoing a potentially significant salary to do so.
While everyone's timing for applying to business school varies depending on their circumstances, there are a few things you should be able to clearly articulate when you're ready to take the plunge.
This week, the MBA blog published by the UV Darden School of Business poses four questions you should ask yourself to determine whether now's the time to start cranking out those essays and rounding up your references. The advice is spot-on, and valid no matter where you plan to apply.
- What are my career goals?
Darden says: Not everyone knows their specific career goals when heading to business school, but as a general rule, they have a pretty good idea. Maybe you want to move up within your current industry or company. Maybe you want to switch to an entirely different industry and need to build the foundation to get the job that you want. Or maybe you're aspiring entrepreneur who wants to learn more about business so you can start one of your own. Business school can propel you in many directions, but you can also miss out on great opportunities if you don't know what you are looking for.
2. Do I have enough work experience?
Darden says: Most MBA programs want you to have an average of four years of work experience. At Darden, the average age of students in our full-time program is 27. Having work experience is important because it teaches you how to work with a team, practice your leadership skills and learn more about the business world, which in turn will help you lay out your career goals.
3. Do I have the basic skills necessary to thrive in business school?
Darden says: While Darden looks for students with a wide range of experiences, there are certain skill sets that will come in handy as you embark on your MBA journey. One of those is quantitative analysis, which will be useful as soon as you start to study for the GMAT or GRE, and will continue to be helpful as you prepare to lead in the business world. If you didn't take many quantitative classes in college, it might be helpful to brush up on your skills so you are ready for the first day of b-school.
4. Do I know what I'm looking for in an MBA program?
Darden says: There are all kinds of MBA programs around the world. Some are full-time; some allow you to work while you get your degree. Some excel at finance, while others specialize in general management or consulting. The options are endless, so it is up to you to figure out which school is right for you.
It's no surprise that an MBA expands your skill set and your network of contacts, as well as significantly increases your long-term earning potential. Candidates should talk with family, friends, and mentors—and potentially an MBA application adviser—early in the application process to determine where they are in the so-called "window" for business school.
But only you can judge when all of the necessary elements have come together to make the time right.

Tuesday Tips: Cornell Johnson Fall 2016 MBA Essay Tips
Cornell University's Johnson School of Management is a flexible MBA program housed within an Ivy League campus. Cornell Johnson offers multiple full-time options, including a one-year MBA, executive programs and a tech focused program. Cornell Johnson …
Cornell University's Johnson School of Management is a flexible MBA program housed within an Ivy League campus. Cornell Johnson offers multiple full-time options, including a one-year MBA, executive programs and a tech focused program. Cornell Johnson has multiple joint degree programs as well from a JD-MBA to MBA-MD. Whatever your goals and background Cornell has a program that can help you achieve your goals.
When approaching this set of Cornell essays it will be useful to set an application strategy. Identify the program you are most interested in and do substantial school research. Then example your background and goals to see what is most important to explain as part of your story. Next, add the layer of personal background and experiences – consider what makes you truly unique. Finally, make sure you have solid academics, work experience and extracurriculars. If you identify any holes in your profile or story, take the time to fill them prior to starting your application.
Applicants are now encouraged to show enhanced creativity in submission medium. For example, the essay may be delivered by video or a creative slide deck.
You are the author for the book of Your Life Story. In 500 words or less, please create the table of contents for the book in the space provided or upload it as an attachment. We value creativity and authenticity and encourage you to approach this essay with your unique style. Alternative submission formats may include a slide presentation, links to pre-existing media (personal website, digital portfolio, YouTube etc.), as well as visually enhanced written submissions.
This essay is an opportunity to show the admissions committee who you are on a personal level. Think about highlighting areas you may not have been able to touch in the previous career focused essays, and demonstrate your unique personal attributes or community involvement. If you have a consistent theme of involvement in a charity or activity this is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate why you became involved and what you have done over the years.
When structuring the story, think of this essay as a way to communicate a narrative theme of your life to the admissions committee. What are the key moments that are meaningful to you? Were there key moments with your friends, family, hobbies or interests that led you to be the person you are today?
This essay can be delivered in any of the media specified above (video, slide presentation, website) and you should tailor the format you use to the message you want to send. Though a creative format will impress the admissions committee substance is always the most important part of the essay. Make sure you are highlighting unique, individual qualities that will make the case for admission to Cornell.
The prompt for this essay has been simplified to help applicants hone in on their objectives in getting an MBA.
What are your short and long term goals and how do you see the Cornell MBA enabling you to achieve both? Please limit your response to 500 words or less.
This classic career goals essay is asking for a clear description of both your short and long term goals and how Cornell fits in. This career goals essay requires you to demonstrate that your Cornell MBA will be the right next step to achieve your career goals.
Since past experiences are likely indicators of your skills and future direction, you may want to briefly outline key aspects of your career history. The question does not specifically require career history, and with the limited word count you are best served by choosing key inflection points rather than an entire resume review. When considering what aspects of your past career to focus on, think about the situations that led you to realize what you really want to do, that built skills that will be important to your goals, or introduced you to people who were crucial to your development.
Make sure to spend enough time on your interest in the Cornell MBA to demonstrate why Cornell is the right place to spend the next two years of your life. Academics are going to be a crucial part of your career goals, yet classmates and activities will also be important. Make sure to investigate your fit with Cornell through talking with current students or alumni, visiting campus if you can, or attending information sessions.
Complete this essay if you would like to add additional details regarding your candidacy. For instance, if you believe one or more aspects of your application (e.g., undergraduate record or test scores) do not accurately reflect your potential for success at the Johnson School.
If you are reapplying for admission, please use this essay to indicate how you have strengthened your application since the last time you applied.
Please limit your response to 500 words or less.
This optional essay allows for either an explanation of any weaknesses in your application or additional information that may bolster your application. If you have a poor GPA or GMAT, concerns with your undergraduate record, or were unable to provide a recommendation from a current supervisor, this is the place to offer explanations, not excuses. Quickly describe the situation and what may have contributed to the issue (illness, family difficulties, etc.) without editorializing. Focus the balance of your essay on looking forward: what have you done in the recent past to demonstrate your skills and intelligence?
If you are a reapplicant this is the ideal place to explain what you have done since your last application to strengthen your case for admission. If you have a new GMAT score or took classes in calculus or statistics you have a solid case for improved academics. A promotion could signal career development and leadership. Even if you don't have a clear cut development to describe you can use this space to explain how you have improved your thinking, career goals, or fit with Cornell.

London Business School is a close-knit program with an international focus, set in one of the most exciting centers of culture in Europe. Among one of the top-ranked programs in the world, LBS is equally valued by employers in both the US and Europe. LBS is an excellent choice for MBA hopefuls who have international experience, a goal to work in London or other parts of Europe, or just an interest in attending school outside the US.
LBS has a slim set of required questions. It will be a challenge for you to present everything you may want about your career, extracurriculars and personal attributes. Make sure you formulate a clear game plan for this set of essays so you can maximize the questions and the space permitted to make your case for admission.
Essay 1
What are your post-MBA plans and how will your past experience and the London Business School programme contribute? (500 words)
Most MBA applicants are pursuing the degree for a specific career goal post-MBA, but if you need a bit more reflection to answer this question it is worth doing the work. Self-awareness about your strengths and interests will help you refine what you want. To take your research deeper it could be helpful to talk to colleagues and alumni who have MBAs in your field to identify your career path options. Make sure that your career goals are both realistic and aspirational. An MBA will certainly open doors for you, and also may define a specific career path.
Your past experiences have certainly informed your post-MBA plans, and touching on those most relevant will be helpful to setting the background for your current pursuit of an MBA. To make this essay more than a rehash of your resume, think about explaining the rationale for your decisions throughout the essay. Why did you pursue your past experience and what has been the impetus behind subsequent career choices? At this point, why are you choosing LBS? If space permits, you will want to discuss the question of timing – why you have made the choice to pursue an MBA at this time, and why you want to attend LBS now.
Essay 2
What specific areas of London Business School life are you most excited about getting involved in and where will you add value? (300 words)
This essay is an opportunity to demonstrate passion for the school, London, activities and the community. Thorough research will be crucial here, whether online or in person. Consider both the academic community and the extracurricular communities. Reaching out to the clubs and organizations you are most interested in may allow you to interact with current students who can provide context for you. Visiting LBS would be an invaluable experience to feel the excitement in person.
To be most effective in answering this question you will want to be specific and logical in your choices of activities you will impact. What activities make the most sense in the context of your career and industry interests? What about your hobbies? Any community involvement you are currently pursuing and plan to continue could start to demonstrate your value to the groups you plan to join or lead at LBS.
International experience may be another area that is important to the LBS community and where you can add value. LBS is seeking applicants who are well traveled and thoughtful about cultural differences beyond their home countries. If you focus on your international background make sure you are able to explain what you have learned from interacting with cultures that are not your own, and relate your experiences back to what you will bring to LBS.
Optional Essay
Is there any other information you believe the Admissions Committee should know about you and your application to London Business School? (300 words)
This essay can be used to explain possible weaknesses in your application like a low GPA or GMAT score, or could be another opportunity to reveal an aspect of your candidacy that has not been covered in the previous questions.
If you use this space to explain a less than stellar aspect of your candidacy make sure you are offering explanations and not excuses. Keep all background information succinct and factual (no whining!) and explain the concrete steps you have taken to improve your candidacy and to be ready for an MBA programme like LBS.
If you are in the enviable position of having nothing to explain, this open-ended question would be a great opportunity to touch on a personal story or add color to your career goals. This could be the ideal place to describe a unique background, experience or attribute that did not fit elsewhere in the application.

Tuesday Tips: Columbia Business School Fall 2016 MBA Application Essay Tips
Columbia Business School is highly concerned about fit and your knowledge of the program. New York City is another aspect of the school that pervades its culture and defines some of the unique opportunities of …
Columbia Business School is highly concerned about fit and your knowledge of the program. New York City is another aspect of the school that pervades its culture and defines some of the unique opportunities of the program. Thorough school research is crucial to your preparation for this application. Before you get started with this set of essays it will be helpful to brainstorm your career objectives, strengths and weaknesses, and to review the personal elements you will want to discuss.
Stumped by the Columbia essays? Contact Stacy Blackman Consulting to learn how we can help.
Short Answer Question:
What is your immediate post-MBA professional goal? (50 characters maximum)
This is a simple question, but may require you to condense your career goals into one clear career vision statement. Columbia presents several examples on their website, all of which have some unique aspect. Rather than a generic statement like: "Work in finance" the goal is to infuse some specificity. Something like: "Work in real estate finance within a private equity firm" tells the admissions committee far more about your interests and goals. Note that the limited character count is intended to get you to the point quickly and that all of the examples Columbia has provided are concise and lack any elaboration.
Essay 1:
Through your resume and recommendations, we have a clear sense of your professional path to date. What are your career goals going forward, and how will the Columbia MBA help you achieve them? (Maximum 500 words)
Remember that this essay has two purposes: demonstrate that you know why you are interested in Columbia, and showcase why you are an excellent fit for the program. Both goals should be kept in mind as you answer the question.
This question is entirely future focused and specifically asks you to get away from a recitation of your resume. Spend the majority of the space describing your career goals and what you envision you will learn and experience at Columbia to help you achieve your goals. As you talk about your future you may need to refer to your past career and personal experiences. As you consider what to say make sure you are citing only relevant examples from your career. Think about the experiences you can describe that were truly pivotal and can support your future goals.
For example, perhaps you want to be a general manager of a company or division, and right now you have been working primarily in marketing. You might spend your time at Columbia learning about finance and strategy, being part of consulting projects and interning at a start up to round out your experience and start on your general management path. Make sure your goals are both achievable and aspirational and that you have specifics about Columbia to support your assertion that it is the right place for you.
Essay 2:
Columbia Business School's location enables us to bridge theory and practice in multiple ways: through Master Classes, internships, the New York Immersion Seminars, and, most importantly, through a combination of distinguished research faculty and accomplished practitioners. How will you take advantage of being "at the very center of business"? (Maximum 250 words)
As you decide how to approach this question make sure that your individual goals for learning and career are impacting how you answer. You should consider the industry you plan to enter, and either the key adjunct professors from that industry at Columbia or the access to major companies from that industry in New York City. Consider your personal interests and how you might pursue them in the diversity of such an international city, and also the ways that Columbia's alumni network can provide opportunities within the metropolitan area.
A mix of personal and professional interests may be covered in this topic, and you may want to emphasize either one of those angles depending on the answers you present to the other core questions.
Essay 3:
CBS Matters, a key element of the School's culture, allows the people in your Cluster to learn more about you on a personal level. What will your Clustermates be pleasantly surprised to learn about you? (Maximum 250 words)
If you watch the linked video, you'll see that CBS Matters is a part of the Columbia cluster experience that centers around a personal presentation. This essay is entirely about your life story and how you will be perceived by your peers at Columbia. If you did not cover anything personal in the prior two essays this is your opportunity to stand out from the pack of other applicants.
This essay is somewhat about what matters most to you, and what you would share if asked who you really are. Dig deep into your passions and background and find the aspects that resonate emotionally with you and seem to convey a truth about who you really are. If you are stumped by this essay prompt you may want to ask friends, family members or colleagues what they view as interesting and unique about you.
Once you have ideas about how to approach this question make sure that you are describing something about yourself that will be interesting both to your peers and to the admissions committee. Something that is a passion point for you and that demonstrates a bit more about your background and motivations will likely be interesting both your clustermates and the admissions committee.
Optional Essay:
An optional fourth essay will allow you to discuss any issues that do not fall within the purview of the required essays.
If there are any areas of concern, this is the correct place to address them. Strike an upbeat tone here and avoid excuses. Explain your issue clearly and focus most of the essay on the correction for the issue. For example, if you had a disciplinary issue in college, spend most of the essay demonstrating that you learned from the experience and have been an ideal citizen ever since.
If you do not have a weakness to address here, it's an ideal opportunity to provide any information that you were unable to work into the other three essays. If you have an unusual background, hobby or extracurricular experience, this may be an opportunity to showcase your unique profile.

Indoor localization is a key enabler for pervasive computing and network optimization. Wireless local area network (WLAN) positioning systems typically rely on fingerprints of received signal strength (RSS) measures from access points. In this paper, we review approaches for modeling full distributions of Wi-Fi signals, including Bayesian graphical models, smoothing, compressive sensing, and random field differentiation and concentrate on the Kullback-Leibler divergence metric that compares multivariate RSS distributions. We provide theoretical insights on the required spatial density of fingerprints and on the number of samples necessary, during tracking or during signal map building, to differentiate among signal distributions and to provide accurate location estimates. We validate our methods on contrasting datasets where we obtain state-of-the-art localization results. Finally, we exploit datasets collected by a self-localizing mobile robot that continuously records Wi-Fi along with ground truth position, where we define increasingly denser fingerprint grids and study asymptotic localization accuracy. © 2014 Alcatel-Lucent.

This is a great meal that is so affordable. A big hit with my family. Only thing i could complain abiout was my enchilada sauce came out kinda thin i thought it might thickin up but it was still good. My first time making this and NO leftovers lol
I have never made enchiladas with refried beans before but everyone really enjoyed them! YUM!!!
Great! I made Enchilada Sauce #31811 to go with this, and the combination was terrific. The only addition I made was to add a variety of sauteed peppers to the enchilada sauce under the enchiladas as they baked. I'll be making this again!

The Bosnian-Serb siege of Sarajevo, from spring 1993 until winter 1996, was the longest in modern history. With electricity, water and food supplies cut off and only sporadically supplied, at least 11,541 citizens were shot by snipers or killed by mortars. Today Sarajevo is a rich, vibrant city with stunning architecture and a lively arts and culture scene. Join us for a panel discussion on contemporary Sarajevo.

(Redirected from Swimming)
Water sport is, in its broadest sense, all kinds of recreation in, or on, a body of water, typically at a beach.
In some countries the shoreline is regarded as public, even when landowners normally can restrict entry to their lands. In the Nordic countries, the right of access generally gives access to the shore, except by people's homes and cottages. But there are also countries where swimming is restricted to organized beaches.
Water sport[edit]
- Beachcombing
- Fishing
- Ice skating
- Kitesurfing
- Sailing
- Scuba diving
- Sea kayaking
- Snorkeling
- Surfing
- Swimming
- Whale watching
- Whitewater sports
- Windsurfing
- Winter swimming
Ceremonial bathing[edit]
Bathing has a role in several religions. Hinduism encourages bathing in the Ganges, at Varanasi and other sites. Christians are initiated by baptism, at occasion done in open water.
There are several precautions for everyone approaching open water, whether for a casual dip, or a long-distance swim.
- Respect laws and customs for clothing. Each country has its own acceptable level of nudity; naturism is, in the typical case, an exception.
- Respect wildlife.
- Don't litter. Ideally, leave no trace.
Stay safe[edit]
Depending on the area, there may be several dangers involved in swimming, such as tides, streams, wildlife and seabed features, some not obvious. Unless at an organized beach, you should seek local advice.
- At ocean beaches there are often streams that can take a swimmer out to sea, caused by tides or waves (even in still weather). Areas within a mile of straights have pronounced rip currents, and may have drop-offs due to constantly changing topography.
- Drop-offs
- Fishing nets, submerged trees and other obstacles.
- Quicksand and other seabed features.

Congestive Heart Failure Topic Guide
Congestive Heart Failure: The heart is a pump that works together with the lungs. It pumps blood in two ways. Congestive heart failure is a serious condition, but it can be managed.
Pulmonary Edema Pulmonary edema is a collection of excess fluid in the lungs. Pulmonary edema is classified as either cardiogenic (caused by heart problems) and non-cardiogenic. The primary symptom of pulmonary edema is shortness of breath. Pulmonary edema can be a life-threatening medical situation. The treatment for pulmonary edema can be ICU care in some cases, and medication in other cases.

KHQ, the NBC affiliate in Spokane, WA, will soon begin producing and broadcasting its local news in HD and streamlining its news department and programming operations by relying on a file-based workflow built around Thomson Grass Valley news production equipment.
To complete its conversion to digital HD news production, the station's news department has acquired eight Thomson Grass Valley Aurora Craft edit systems, three EDIUS Broadcast laptop edit systems, an Aurora Browse software system with 2TB of storage, 10 Aurora Browse workstations and a K2 HD media server/media client system with 6TB of storage. The purchase also includes more than 10 AVC-Intra licenses to handle footage acquired with Panasonic P2 solid-state cameras.
The new system provides real-time functionality with Thomson Grass Valley broadcast servers and storage.
KHQ joins other stations, including KCBS in Los Angeles, WKYT in Lexington, KY, and KYW in Philadelphia, that are using the Thomson Grass Valley Aurora HD digital news production system linked to a K2 HD storage area network (SAN) to produce local HD news content.
The station will also install a comprehensive and fully automated playout system that features a K2 HD media server/media client with 55 hours of storage and Aurora Playout software.
KHQ currently operates a Thomson Grass Valley Jupiter/Venus routing system and a Saturn master control system. The station has been broadcasting NBC network prime-time programming in 1080i HD since 2006.

This paper presents the application of compact insulated gate bipolar transistor and p-i-n diode models, including features such as local lifetime control and field-stop technology, to the full electrothermal system simulation of a hybrid electric vehicle converter using a lookup table of device losses. The vehicle converter is simulated with an urban driving cycle (the federal urban driving schedule), which is used to generate transient device temperature profiles. A methodology is also described to explore the converter reliability using the temperature profile, with rainflow cycle counting techniques from material fatigue analysis. The effects of ambient temperature, driving style, and converter design on converter reliability are also investigated.

Clean Campground but more a local fishing spot. High input of traffic coming in and out of campground during Salmon run not really advisable for anything longer than 36 feet but you can do it if need be. No water or dump. I think its a little high for what you get would probably pass it up next time. - monaco cruiser

25$ gets you a dry camping site in a very poorly maintained campground. This was the first time I was denied checking out the sites before paying. Well, it was for a reason and I should have passed after this red flag.
The road through is very bumpy with lots of potholes. Sites are unlevel, dirty and small. The pit toilets haven't seen a cleaning in a long time. One water spigot at the office. At least it was quiet. We will definitely not come back and rather use one of the free dedicated camping pullouts on the highway to Talkeetna (inquire at the Visitor Center at the beginning of Talkeetna Road). - TheSchweitzers
Jun 2013 - $20.00
This is dry camping with no dump station available. There is fresh water fill available and you can dump at a nearby park for a fee. We did not use them, but there are showers available. The toilets are pit toilets. We stayed here because we tried to get into the Talkeetna Camper Park Campground, but it was full. It is a large area with somewhat free-form camping. Spaces have been marked in the open areas, but no one seems to abide by them. There is some traffic going to the boat launch and it is dusty. You check in at the front office, pay your fees, then you are on your own to find a suitable spot. There are spots in the open and more secluded spots in the trees. There is some partying that goes on late into the night. However, it is fairly quiet and much less crowed than the alternatives. It is an easy walk to the downtown area. There are brochures make it look much nicer than it is. Our Verizon phone and data MiFi worked well here. Because we liked the relative seclusion, we would stay here again. - TheJim

This used to be a campground for tenters, where they have increased the size of some spaces for RVs. Dry camping with disgusting outhouses. Noisy, rude campers. ATV's buzzing through the campground at all hours of the day and night. If you can find any other accommodations, do so. Would never stay here again. - paxton

We liked this campground. Showers were private and had very hot water. You had to pay but it was worth it. This is a great campground. Cannot tell you about WiFi since we did not use. Would definitely stay here again if in Alaska. Loved it in Talkeetna. Site was level. - dbl4de3
Jun 2015 - $35.00
If you want to stay close to town, this is the place. Very tight driving and getting into sites, Sites fairly level. Verizon wifi/Sprint phone Ok. Price reflects W/E only, there is a dump available. Small area to walk the pup. The 4 restrooms are the combined type, shower, sink, toilet in the same room. - Living the Dream
Jun 2015 - $35.00
Use the second entry from the hy way or it is very tight. After you check in swing wide on the left turns around the building. 5th wheel hit their corner marking pole, pulled it out of the ground and made a mess of his 5th wheel. Really nice owners, clean park, clean showers and laundry. We had water, 30 amp, no sewer. They put us in the spot directly behind the dump station, easy access for a 42 ft hooked up to a Jeep. Also very good view of the circus as new rvers in rentals tried to figure out how to dump! Would certainly stay here again. - rmartin

Scenic bike trails; not very long, but relaxing all the same. We wanted a site away from the crowd but still close to river and we were able to be accommodated. Our gravel site was spacious and mostly shady. - tonjeki
Oct 2015 - $25.00
$25 with Good Sam for a dry site. No amenities, no electric/water/sewer, no showers, portapotties only, no dump station, and the central water fill station was broken. The electric only sites were $45. Definitely way overpriced. There is a state park across the road for $15 for dry sites in parking lot style camping. There is another RV park 5 miles down the Parks highway from this one with hookups but I didn't see it before I checked into this one. The big draw for this campground is fishing in Montana Creek. But check the fishing regulations, the Creek was closed to fishing until July 15 for the salmon run this year. They don't tell you this until after you've paid for a site. - Kevin5203
Jul 2012 - $45.00
Nice folks at the desk but not well informed. They claimed they had "standard" electricity but didn't know if it was 30 or 50 Amp. The one night fee of $45 seems out of range when you consider there was no WiFi at the site, no water at the site, no sewer or dump site at all and no cell service. The check-in parking location was on a dead-end so everyone who checked in, had to back out. Some one-way interior roads sent you the wrong way for the angled back-ins. When asked about it, we were told to drive front-in into the back-in site. When asked how we would get the tow vehicle out, we got a shrug. Interior roads have large river rock: the kind that get stuck between dually tires. Electric pedestals were oddly located with some correctly placed at the back left side of a back-in, while others were placed at the street end of a back-in and on the right side so the cable had to be routed under the camper and the camper had to be parked at the street end of the site resulting in no tow vehicle parking space. It should be noted that while the campground is situated adjacent to Montana Creek of the Susitna River, about half the park is below flood stage and protected by a rock berm. - PaulW

We had a backin 50 Amp service. Park is very clean. Owner is working constantly and walks around picking anything up that is out of place. It is basically a gravel lot, but some of the backins have a grassy area. We will stop there anytime we are in the Talkeetna area. - Tarheel

$38 for full hookup, 30amp only, Good Sam discount brought it down to $34 a day. Gravel pads, and roads, tall trees for shade and well groomed, "NO" low hanging tree limbs. Big Rig friendly, not a big place or fancy either, but very nicely kept. Nice office, with everything you can want for camping and they sell gas and diesel. They have internet, but I did not try and use it, nor did I try the showers or restrooms. Nice outdoor BBQ area with grills for your use. I would stay here again. Great value, and very nice staff/owners. - DonGott
Jul 2016 - $20.00
Our price reflects a no-hook-up site. We like this campground. The sites were level but, since out site was probably for a tent, it was a bit narrow for our 3-slide 35' RV. We had to pick and choose the right site for our RV. The campground host also helped us choose a site away for others so we could use our generator for a bit. However, that said, it was a good site, well off the road and quiet. No cable, no TV but then we weren't interested in those.
There is a central patio with bug zappers, picnic tables and barbecue pits. Very nice for anyone to use.
We enjoyed the nearness to Talkeetna where we went for one day. - swike
Jun 2015 - $27.00
Good power and water. Sites are pretty level. Lots of trees for shade. All gravel as most of Alaska and Canada. Staff very nice and helpful. Not sure if they have WiFi. No Cable is the only negative thing. There is some noise from the road but do not think it will bother you. Quite in the camp ground. I would stay here again if in the area. - neilontheroad

Jun 2011 - $16.00
This park has been recently refurbished. Wide, level, gravel sites with picnic table and fire pit in either full sun or shade. Half the sites have 30A electric available (for $30/nt). Boat launch. Nice manager and staff. Small convenience store. No water or dump available, so arrive with full water and empty holding tanks. Wish they sold fishing licenses here. Very relaxing. We would stay here again. They do take reservations - which would be necessary during the height of fishing season. - JCMDT

Restaurant Review
My, how I do like them oysters
By Ari LeVaux
Downtown's newly opened Hotel Andaluz seems like it was designed to make you feel cool. As we walked through the lobby en route to Lucia, the hotel's restaurant, the lobby nearly pulled us off course. Semiprivate cubicles with translucent curtains and lushly pillowed couches occupy the south wall, each with its own theme. (One cubicle is adorned with epiphytes and bamboo. Another sports a mother of pearl waterfall.) In the center of the lobby, a fountain is surrounded by an array of couches and coffee tables. As we walked through, groovy jazz-tronica music gently filled the room. There's even a separate lobby menu, prepared in the Lucia kitchen, but we stayed the course and sat at a table inside the restaurant.

Chinese New Year
Eesti Post issued a stamp to celebrate the Year of the Snake.
By the Chinese zodiac calendar the Year of the Snake will start on February 10. Although many people associate the Snake with dangers and venoms, it is still regarded as a symbol of happiness. The Snake, a mysterious, slightly dangerous but an interesting and clever creature was admired in ancient China as great thinker.
People born in the Year of the Snake approach problems rationally and with logic; they are intuitively clever and their business goes well. But they are often stingy and sometimes egoistic. Snake people are almost always successful in their work or in their private lives; they are stylish, fashionable and have wonderful taste. They are usually very attractive but could cause some family problems due to their light heartedness. The snake does not accept mediocrity and therefore we will see important developments in the sphere of science and technology in the Year of the Snake and a year of great achievement and renewal lies ahead.
The snake of the year 2013 is the Water-Snake; the element, water, is very closely connected with education and science and the new year will be good for scientific research.

And we want to change the way they work. Your lab is so much more than a support service — it's a critical part of a strategic plan. We see your lab's potential to deliver quality, service, and value to your hospital or health system. What do you see when you look at your lab?
The Three Principals of Peak Performance
Lab's accuracy is the foundation on which speed and efficiency can be improved — not the other way around. We work with your lab to ensure control and quality by managing and tailoring testing capability to meet your health system's specific needs.
We help clinical labs increase turnaround times, make quick decisions and develop best practices through data-driven operational intelligence and insights. Together, we'll refine everything from processing of a specimen through collection and results. And that's what enables clinicians to quickly deliver a patient's diagnosis and begin care.
Efficiency must work in tandem with speed and accuracy. We take a comprehensive approach that optimizes and modernizes your lab's people, processes, and technology. Together, we'll achieve measurable improvements by examining all areas of the lab: the bench, supplies and test menu.
Top Indiana Health System Partners with Accumen, Inc. for Comprehensive Patient Blood Management Program
Parkview Health, regarded as a premier health care provider in the greater Fort Wayne, Indiana region, has entered a multi-year partnership with Accumen Inc. (Accumen) to create a world class comprehensive Patient Blood Management (cPBM) Program.
How small ideas are helping to bend the health care cost curve
Even as overall U.S. health care spending grew by 5.3 percent in 2014 — reaching a jaw-dropping $3 trillion — the health care industry has made some important strides in trying to bend the overall cost curve in the coming years, according to some experts. Since the advent of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, for instance, the move away from so-called fee-for-service that maximizes costs for insurers and patients by encouraging excessive billings has begun to make some inroads in overall spending.
Uncovering revenue sources through transformation of the hospital lab
The rising cost of care delivery means cost reduction is a top priority at hospitals across the U.S. In fact, almost 60 percent of U.S. hospital executives said their institutions must substantially change their business models in the near term if they are to survive financially, according to new research sponsored by Prudential Retirement, a business unit of Prudential Financial.

Sign language
Redirected from Gestural language
this wiki
Sign language (also referred to as gestural language) was a language where communication occurred through hand movement, instead of sound. As a language, the use of gestures and hand signals pre-dated the spoken word in most cultures, the major exception being the Leyrons of Malkus IX who actually developed a written language first.
Sign language was permitted on Betazed for the joining ceremony. When Victoria Miller and Lwaxana Troi were debating on who should officiate at the wedding, Troi proposed that her valet Homn would do the officiating. Steven Miller argued that Homn couldn't speak to which Troi responded, "He is quite adept in the act of sign language." (TNG: "Haven")
While on a mission in the Ramatis system, Lieutenant Commander Data learned and stored five different forms of sign language in order to communicate with Riva, a deaf mediator from Ramatis III. Lieutenant Worf found the concept of sign language interesting, as its qualities of being both silent and covert could be useful in the field. (TNG: "Loud As A Whisper")

Kalem Company's rendering of this charming comedy is not what I had hoped to see. It comes so near to being a success that it is a pity it had not received the finishing touches. In filming this story the minor characters should have been eliminated and the unity of design better adhered to. The story of Rosalind and Orlando should have been brought out more strongly. Shakespeare himself here departed somewhat from the unity of design and crowded the play with characters not needed in the working out of the plot, but this should have been avoided %in filming the play, as Shakespeare intended "As You Like It" more as a "Masque," so popular in his day and long after. Of all things the "Masque" is least adaptable for moving pictures. The love scene in the forest between Rosalind and Orlando is acted in a lame manner. I have seen people hold hands in that fashion on the last Coney Island boat of a Saturday night, but in a Shakespeare play, never. -- The Moving Picture World, October 3, 1908

Research Institution:
AbstractModern radio frequency (RF) communication systems require more efficient and flexible use of wider bandwidths at higher carrier frequencies, which can be achieved only by direct digital representation of the RF signal itself, for both receivers and transmitters. Previously, HYPRES built, delivered to US Army CERDEC, and demonstrated an advanced digital-RF receiver for military satellite communications (MILSATCOM X and Ka bands). This was built around a custom bandpass superconducting analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that samples at 30 GigaSamples/s. The present project focuses on the development of an RF digital-to-analog converter (RF-DAC) for the corresponding digital-RF transmitter, that handles at least 1 GHz instantaneous bandwidth with an 8 GHz carrier (X-band). This will be implemented using state-of-the-art SiGe BiCMOS chips that can sample at rates of 30 GS/s and above. The transmitter chip design will involve digital filters and up-converters in addition to the DAC itself. Similar advanced digital transmitters should be extendable to MILSATCOM Ku (14 GHz) and Ka (30 GHz) bands.
