Over the past year, the American Association for the Advancement of Science with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) held a series of conversations with faculty, administrators, students, and other stakeholders on the future of undergraduate biology education. To put the conversations in context, the following provides a brief overview of why these conversations were initiated, the current efforts by funding agencies to meet the needs identified by these conversations, and the hoped for outcomes of these and subsequent conversations.
Both the disciplines of biology and of science education have undergone a revolution. The major focus of the biological sciences – understanding life – remains unchanged, but breakthrough discoveries of the second half of the 20th century have changed the basic nature of the questions asked, while new and emerging technologies are changing the ways key questions are addressed. In undergraduate science education, new approaches and new technologies are also emerging based on evolving theories of learning. New developments in higher education have changed the manner in which people pursue higher education, and there is also a growing appreciation of the need to broaden participation within the sciences by advancing the education of all students, including those from underrepresented groups and those who will enter careers outside of science.
There is also a growing realization of the necessity to fully inform and educate all students about the wealth of professions available to those who study the sciences and about the way science is done. BIO2010 helped rouse interest in the need for reform of undergraduate biology education raising many important issues and giving suggested approaches, mostly applied to those students preparing for a career in biomedical research. This program could serve as a base for a broader approach that would encompass all the sub-disciplines within the biological sciences.
Most of the current efforts to support needed changes in undergraduate biology education are centered either at the National Science Foundation (NSF) or the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). Pertinent efforts at NSF include the support of materials development, changes in course delivery, and efforts in faculty development through the Course, Curricular and Laboratory Improvement Program managed by the Division of Undergraduate Education. Other relevant programs include the Career Program managed by the Directorate for the Biological Sciences and other research directorates at NSF. The HHMI programs are by invitation only but serve a variety of institutions in their efforts to respond to the forces for change. For example, HHMI supports summer institutes at the University of Wisconsin focused on faculty change at research institutions and those with large introductory courses. In addition the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has initiated a program, Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Awards (IRACDA) to involve postdoctoral students in educational change.
The overarching goal of the on-going conversations has been to provide a forum where the biology community can gain insight into the changes that need to take place, how best to effect those changes, and how best to support efforts for change. As a culmination of these conversations, a conference will be held in Washington, DC on July 15-17, 2009. At this meeting, those currently involved in reform will exchange information about what they are doing, network across the various sub-communities within biology (e.g., emerging fields such as systems biology, bioinformatics, and proteomics as well as traditional fields such as molecular, biochemical, ecological, organismal, physiological, evolutionary, botanical, zoological, microbial, etc.), devise mechanisms to improve coordination, and raise the visibility and degree of adaptation of such efforts. The meeting will result in a printed report and action plan for improving the quality of undergraduate biology education, as well as an online resource where stakeholders can share information and access specific resources to implement the ideas and strategies developed at the conference.

Andrew Smith's Grasshopper Jungle is certainly strange. It won't be for everybody. However, it is dangerous, violent, very funny and exceedingly compelling. The narrative voice is engaging, honest and completely unique (well, perhaps a younger brother to a certain Caulfield or Billy Pilgrim), Throughout his winding narrative Austin Szerba explores war, history, lust and human nature. Oh - and the end of the world.
But no historian could ever put everything that happened in a book.So it's the story of the end of the world, brought about after Robby and Austin discover a strange strain of a mysterious plague. But various threads intertwine throughout the narrative and you've got to keep up. Amid the the newly-hatched Unstoppable Soldiers, Austin talks about his ancestors, who came to America from Poland and had their consonants taken from them on the way (Szczerba became Szerba), in almost the same breath as he talks about life in (very "middle America") Ealing Iowa, Lutheran Brothers' reading habits (no books about masturbation, please), urinals, diving bells, his mother's addiction to Xanax, his brother deployed in Afghanistan. Then there's his feelings towards his girlfriend Shann and his even more confused feelings towards Robby.
The book would be as big as the universe, and it would take multiple countless lifetimes to read.
History necessarily had to be an abbreviation.
Even those first men - obsessed with recording their history - who painted on cave walls in Lascaux and Altamira, only put the important details down.
We killed this big hairy thing and that big hairy thing. And that was our day. You know what I mean.
It was hard for me, at times, to separate out the connections that crisscrossed like intersecting highways though and around my life in Ealing.
It was the truth and I had to get it down.
And that was our day. You know what I mean.
I took off my boxers and went to bed.
It was 6:01 a.m.
The end of the world was about four hours old. Just a baby.
This is smart, weird YA. Like Going Bovine by Libba Bray, How to Say Goodbye in Robot by Natalie Standiford, or King Dork by Frank Portman* – and I'll admit it's a massive story to take in. But it is totally worth it.
You know what I mean.
*Did you hear? There's going to be a sequel soon, King Dork Approximately. Isn't your delight just doublish thanks to the Bob Dylan reference? Yes, yes it is.

Bottled water is advertised as better than tap and full of minerals that keep us healthy. But bottles water is inherently wasteful due to the plastic bottles it comes in. You might be eco-friendly and recycle your bottles, but chances are the majority of people don't and those bottles end up in the rubbish.
There may be a solution to drinking nice, purified water without the bottle waste, however. It's called Waterbobble and offers a reusable 18.5 oz water bottle with built-in, replaceable filtering system.
It's designed by Karim Rashid and combines a simple plastic bottle with an intelligent cap. Built into the base of the cap is a water filter which purifies the water as you squeeze the bottle and drink it. Each filter is good for 300 uses, or 40 gallons of water. After that it can be replaced with a new cap, but on the same plastic bottle. Better yet, the bottle is made out of recycled plastic.
The Waterbobble costs $10 and the filters are $7 each. Factor in how much money you save from not buying bottle water and it may end up saving you money as well as allowing you to do your bit for the environment.

Matthew's Opinion
Unless you live in an area with particularly bad water I don't believe there are any real benefits of bottled over tap water. Bottled water is more convenient in a lot of cases because convenience stores will always have them to buy. But if you regularly carry a bottle of water with you each day the Waterbobble may be the answer if you want/need the filtering.
You'll also be glad to hear these bottles are made in the U.S. so there's no pollution from shipping the bottles into the country, and Karim has even given you the choice of changing the color of your bottle cap regularly by providing red, green, blue, and black options. Altogether its definitely an eco-friendly solution to carrying a drink around.
If each filter gets you 300 uses, and you fill it up twice a day, that's a new filter every 5 months at a cost of roughly $24 a year. When you consider a 24 pack of Volvic costs $29.99 on Amazon it's easily going to work out cheaper.

Survivor Recap: Well Played
Boston Rob and Russell play the ultimate 'Survivor' battle of wits.
Technically, the Heroes' losing streak continued on last night's Survivor, but seriously, who cares? Russell was cocky and genius! Boston Rob was cocky and stunned! Tyson was cocky and stupid! The drama at the Villains' tribal council was more riveting than the NCAA Tournament (except for you Cornell fans) that knocked the show out of its time slot this week . And James got in trouble for eating too many of the Heroes' bananas. Yes, a conversation about "banana etiquette" really happened, making it the second-most-hilarious banana moment in pop-culture history, behind Beverly Hills Cop's "Banana in the Tailpipe."
There would be two tribal councils last night; one member of each team would be going home. Which meant only one combo reward/immunity challenge, but done in two heats. Each team would compete separately, with one member of each getting individual immunity, but then the two victors would compete to see which team would get an added savory benefit: They would enjoy hot dogs and soda (and subsequent gastric pain) while watching the Losers' tribal council. J.T., Coach, and Tyson had all done the challenge before — navigating your body through an obstacle monkey-bar while tethered to a rope — but it didn't matter. Candice won the Heroes' race, definitely saving herself from the chopping block, but she fell to the Villains in the final showdown. Rob was the Villains' victor, seemingly ensuring Russell's departure.
But Russell is a squirrely creature. Even Jeff Probst's challenge play-by-play highlighted this quality: "Russell squirming through this fairly quickly!" And squirm he did — all the way into Boston Rob's brilliant head. The showdown between these two strategists is Survivor heaven. So how did Russell pull off his stunning upset and survive tribal while sending rival Tyson packing?
Russell had the individual-immunity idol and lied about it.
Rob knew Russell had the individual-immunity idol and was lying about it.
Rob, to get into Russell's head, told him he'd better find the idol, because otherwise he was going home.
Russell knew Rob was trying to get into his head and that Parvati was the real target.
Rob knew Russell would figure out Parvati was the real target, and possibly give her the idol. He told his team to split their six votes, which would lead to a 3–3–3 tie; whether Russell or Parvati played the idol, the tie would force a redo, the idol would already be spent, and the ruling alliance could pick their victim. Russell suspected they'd split the six votes, so he gave an Academy Award–worthy performance for Tyson where he vowed to vote off Parvati. This convinced Tyson (who was assigned to vote for Russell) to ignore his tribemates' instructions and vote for his true favored target, Parv (watch it below!).
Rob gave a Daytime Emmy–worthy performance for Russell where he insisted that Russell was the target of the vote, but it convinced him of nothing. Russell gave a BAFTA-worthy speech in which he seemed about to play the idol, but presented it to Parvati instead, who did play it. With Tyson voting for the immune Parvati, giving her four votes, there was no tie, and the person with the next highest number of votes was Tyson.
So where did Rob go wrong? He didn't, really. It was all Tyson's fault, which he admitted upon his torch-snuffing interview: "I was the victim of my own stupidity I'm still pretty awesome." Actually, Russell was pretty awesome at tribal, as he shocked his adversaries — all in front of Boston Rob's dumbfounded expression and Coach's magical feather earring. Imagine what Russell would have done if he heard Sandra tell him to "get in the ocean and wash your ass," which she proclaimed after scrawling his name (yes, that really happened, too).
Two other Villains' notes: First, who is Danielle and when did she arrive in Samoa? Has she been hiding the last five episodes? Second, Coach did manage to contradict himself this episode, so do not fret, all is right with the world. He gave a big speech about being in the middle of two alliances while maintaining he's a "man of his word." Bravo, sir.
As for the Heroes, their clear-cut decision to ax Colby for being an outsider who can't get his head in the game became muddy as James's leg failed to improve. James valiantly tried to prove his worth by racing J.T., and even listened intently while Amanda explained that everyone thought he was scarfing down too many bananas. Physically lame, James transformed into the wittiest player on the Heroes tribe, summarizing Colby's difficulties by musing, "Today he got beat by a cripple and a fat dude on an obstacle course. It's like finding out Superman was in a big girdle." Sorry to see you go just as you were getting entertaining, big guy. Next week: Rob calls Russell a suicide bomber!
Other Recaps:
EW.com's Dalton Ross does a little sleuthing and theorizes the scene where James tells Colby he wishes he'd get his head in the game was actually filmed after James got word he and his bum leg would be heading home. Nice work, Scoop.
E!'s Drusilla Moorhouse chuckles at Tyson getting played by a guy he called "absolutely harmless" and "not that smart, really."
TV Squad's Jackie Schnoop describes Rob's "WTF" face at tribal pretty accurately: "Rob looked confused, dazed and like a bomb went off in his underpants."

The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy and more selfish than a bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at the rear is my greatest foe.

If you are the kind of footy fan who says, understandably, "Look, I just go the game for a bit of leisure, pay at the gate, and then go home and forget about it," then go no further reading this polemic and its end notes. Probably you are more suited to the status quo or power-dozing. In which case, quite rightly, this will be of no interest to you. Go watch Strictly Come Dancing or Coronation Street or read the Bootle Times or the Daily Mail or take a Prozac.
Meanwhile, those who stay have a football problem, like it or not. Yes, you have a football problem. So do I. So does everyone else connected with the game, be it owner, player, administrator, employee or supporter. The problem is, loving the game as we do, how do we tackle the obvious economic problems of football? Now of course there is no such thing as a perfect system, a football Utopia. There never has been and there never will be. So let's get that notion out of the way before it sprouts limbs and a head in the manner of Sun-style newspaper propaganda. However, things can change and improve. The problem is man-made and therefore can be put right in the same way it was created. There is no need for dismay.
The basic problem of football is three-layered: What is profit? Who gets it? And democratically who controls who gets it? There is no escape from these questions, though many try to ignore them and wish they would merely vaporize. This is a thin hope because we live under a system whose self-appointed high priests claim profit = economic efficiency.[1] The questions will press on you sooner or later, in one form or another. There is no escape in football or anywhere else, including your place of work. But for present purposes let's stick with footy.
In football you do not have to look very far to see examples of what happens when illusion gets in the way of reality and profiteering. You need only look across the width of Stanley Park, or indeed at any football club. Football and profits have made a witches' brew as unstable as nitro-glycerine. And now added to the mix is UEFA's revised Club Licensing and Fair Play Regulations 2010 for clubs wishing to take part in their club competitions.[2] Superficially, the intention is honourable enough: to produce a level financial playing field and force clubs to live within their means. And who could oppose it after the flood of bankruptcies and legalised large and small shares scams that have scarred the game for decades - not just recently. But does the UEFA scheme go far enough? We shall see.
First, consider the notion of "profit." It need not detain us too long if we dismiss self-serving micro-accountancy, legal and economics jargon. It means the cash surplus left after all debts, taxes and costs are paid. In other words, money that is left over for free use. (Yes, yes, there are many weasel words and wriggly definitions employed by right-wing sophists[3], but we merely need to use our common sense). The issue then becomes what to do with the profit. This in turn raises further unavoidable moral and practical social issues. If you believe the Objectivists[4], Friedmanites[5] and "Gordon Gekkos"[6] of this world - the so-called "free marketeers" presently in control - its use has nothing to do with you if you don't own any private or public stock exchange shares. According to them, all that matters is self-interested greed, so shareholders trouser the money and that is the only real politik. Everything else is immaterial, including you as a non-shareholder. If you don't like it you have to lump it and take your interest and your ball elsewhere. Under this system, paying your entrance fee merely entitles you to sit, watch and shout for the duration of a game, nothing more. You have no other rights in football and in truth never have had. Many years ago some grounds even carried signs reading, "No money returned in the event of bad weather." If a game is abandoned you are still not entitled to recompense. So far as I know, nobody has ever challenged this in law.
If you want to try to affect matters your only practical recourse in one-dimensional "free market" theory is to stop going to football matches. You must then hope revenues diminish enough to cause a rethink by the owners. Of course that indolent viewpoint assumes the rethink will go in favour of the non-matchgoer, a highly unlikely outcome. Much more likely is decline of the club, maybe even its demise and sell off at a large or small profit depending on ruling economic conditions. Even then non-matchgoers are a tiny voice amongst many thousands who won't stop going. Gates may or may not reduce but the game will still be immensely popular. And no committed supporter is going to take seriously the views of a mere absentee mitherer who sounds like something out of East Enders or a sort of motley contemporary version of the Copperheads.[7]
All of which brings us to......Ah, yes, .Adam Smith's two hundred years old withered "invisible hand," in which he claimed competing self-interests find a balance. Somehow, said Adam, everything will be alright; all you have to do is pay up or not.[8] But to say dear Adam's notion is an outdated base crudity is putting it mildly. Well, if you believe UEFA's revised regulations that kind of simple-mindedness doesn't "somehow" improve matters. You have to take action to achieve improvement, which requires a good deal more than simply withdrawing financial support: you have to think. You have to understand you will be up against monopoly-owned media and academia bought and paid for by the establishment. You are in relatively the same position as the labour movement of a hundred years ago. There are no shortcuts, no miracles. If you wish the sport to change you have to define and argue your definition of fairness and then try to gain a majority consensus. It isn't just about price and value, it is mostly about power.
It goes without saying the established interest, whatever and whoever it is, will always defend itself vigorously. It also goes without saying the establishment will write and implement laws to suit its own interests. You have to prepare accordingly or you will simply be annihilated in debate and in legal dispute. In other words, you will lose. Dear old Adam's notion might have worked after some tiny fashion at the dawn of capitalism and in the local cattle market, but once organised industrialization and mass production got under way it became as practical as a paper road bridge.
So if you require "fairness" you will have to define it before you can establish it. Then you have to put it into operation. Then you have to protect it against corruption, an ever present danger in any form of human organisation. Presumably this will entail an understanding of individual and collective liberty and justice. You have to describe a set of values, which is where it gets complicated. So, what to you is "fairness" in football?
If you are of an Adam Smith mentality you will insist that all your club needs is more money put through the existing system, more trophies will be won and more profit made and everything will be alright. "Fairness" doesn't enter into it; in which case you have largely abandoned your right to complain about bankruptcies, unequal competition, overpaid players and playing standards. You will have no set of values apart from profit. And profit knows no goal other than more profit. It cannot exist without this fundamental motive. If you insist on financial regulation then by definition you are not a "free marketeer." In reality of course all markets are rigged. In a democracy markets are rigged to suit the ruling consensus. This was how, for instance, the National Health system was introduced in Britain[9] - at the time the market was public good, not private greed - and how, for an alternative instance, a disgusting[10] private health system is imposed in the USA. Unchecked, if the British establishment has their way let there be no doubt we also will be subject to the edifying sight of a privatised ambulance crew searching a prone street casualty for credit cards.
But what does "community ownership" mean? More to the point, how do you define it? You can start by looking at available public[11] and private[12] resources and go from there to suit yourself. It can be a long, lonely road. Every social gain during the last hundred years has been made in the teeth of violent resistance by an establishment hell-bent on keeping its strangle hold on society. The gains were made nevertheless. Each time it was made harder for the establishment to claw back, though government actions since 1979 show they never cease trying. So if you genuinely believe in community ownership you have a long struggle ahead of you. In football you run the risk of your club going out of existence. For under present circumstances would you really expect the international banking system to tolerate a leading English club going into authentic community ownership and making a success of it? More likely such a solo attempt would be slowly choked to death in the fashion of KME[13], a wonderful pioneering effort amongst others in the 1970s that terrified the establishment and which it never forgot or forgave; the result was the most squalid right-wing politics in living memory[14]. Against that, the less alternative allowed, the more desperate they make people, the greater the likelihood of widespread action whatever the consequences. As the successful Poll Tax revolt showed, if you force enough people into a corner they will come out fighting eventually.
In football the supplementary questions are these - Which leading club's fans will be the first to run the risk? In military parlance, who will be first to lie on the barbed wire? Who will go beyond mere street demonstrations to change private owners instead of change to community ownership? Will fans dissatisfaction develop into something more organised and intelligent, or will it stick in its present low, moaning, cathartic ale-house whinge?
As matters stand I think we are a long, long way from the kind of fundamental community ownership this fan would like to see. Understandably, football is way down the list of priorities for most people trying to make a life in an iniquitous, evil and unjust economic system. Circumstances may make it otherwise but somehow I doubt it. Making a decent life for one's family will always relegate football and sport generally to the back of the queue. The chances of the two coming together are infinitesimal, though of course nothing is impossible in human affairs. Sometimes events accumulate and achieve a sort of spontaneous social combustion. But it almost always takes a catastrophe to get grudging change out of the establishment, as the Chilean miners rescue showed[15]. Football is no different.
The future is in the hands of the fans. Sadly, they haven't yet realised it.

For several years, the B'nai B'rith America #901 lodge in Indiana has assembled and distributed "B'nai B'rith Buddy Bears" to children battling life-threatening illnesses at various local hospitals.
The lodge recently visited Franciscan St. Margaret Health-Dyer, bringing comfort to the kids in wing 4C. The visit was chronicled on PortageLife.com.
Read the notice in its entirety, below:
Children's stays at Franciscan St. Margaret Health-Dyer are likely to be more comforting and less apprehensive, thanks to a recently delivery of Buddy Bears by Gustavo Galante, MD (foreground-right), a member of B'nai B'rith America Unit 901in Northwest Indiana, sponsor of the program.
Dr. Galante, who has been involved with the effort for about two years, called it a "nice way of giving back and meeting community needs."
Fundraising efforts through local businesses and community members supply the $10 cost of each stuffed animal, which then are distributed to hospitals, shelters for abused women and their dependents and other organizations.
"The bears help bring comfort and solace to the children and their families," Dr. Galante added.

Bourbon does more harm than good
To the editor:
I read the editorial in the July 31 issue of The Anderson News about the blessings of the bourbon to Anderson County. In reference to those who go to church and don't drink being hypocrites, most of those that I know are not perfect but are not hypocrites. They just believe what the word of God says about strong drink. I know many hypocrites in other phases of life, perhaps there are some in the news media.

Modular, the ultimate synthesizer that will revolutionize your sound.
Modular looks, acts, and sounds like a hardware modular synthesizer to give you features that musicians want such as pulse width modulation, oscillator sync, 4 pole ladder filters, and 1v/oct filter tracking. Traditional modular systems are expensive and out of reach for the average artist. Modular is here to bridge that gap and allow everyone the opportunity to use these powerful synthesizers.
What makes modular special is the audio and visual experience you have with it. The beautifully minimal menu systems and interface, and the ultra-realistic synthesizer graphics are just the beginning. The real beauty is not what you see, but what you hear. Pristine and punchy oscillators that sound great, even at the extreme ends of the frequency spectrum. It starts with band-limited oscillators. Not just traditional methods of band-limiting, but band-limiting that enables each note you play to have the maximum number of harmonics without distorting.
Every detail of the audio has been analyzed to provide you the most amazing sound possible such as buttery smooth filter sweeps and resonance so stable you can use the filter as an oscillator!
Modular goes a step further with connectivity and supports Audiobus, Soundcloud, CoreMIDI, as well as Audio Copy so that your music making workflow is streamlined and integrated.
• High fidelity, virtual analog synthesis, using bandlimited oscillators and oversampled filters
• Audiobus and background audio modes
• CoreMIDI control with external devices or internal sequencers
• Beautifully rendered graphics
• Dynamic workspace with intuitive navigation
• Optional modules available as a Pro Module Bundle
• 10-octave keyboard with classically styled arpeggiator
• Extensive in app help with detailed module descriptions and guides
• Record and export live performance to Soundcloud, Audio Copy, email and iTunes file sharing
Modular creates sound primarily through subtractive synthesis. In subtractive synthesis, a harmonically rich sound source is modified by subtracting unwanted harmonics to make the desired sound. Source modules consist of oscillators and noise generators; Modifier modules include filters and effects; Amplifier modules change the loudness of the sound over time; envelope generators and low-frequency oscillators are used as Controller modules; and Routing modules allow users to split, combine, fade, or invert signals between modules.
The master module is the main connection point between the keyboard and modules as well as the final output and modules.
The VCO-01 is a band limited voltage controlled oscillator with triangle, square, and sawtooth waveforms.
The VCO-11 is an advanced band limited voltage controlled oscillator with sine, triangle, pulse, and sawtooth waveforms.

Financial collapse, and now an earthquake? Is this really happening? Not surprisingly, a growing sector of the population feels that, yes, the apocalypse is well on the way and they're taking every precaution to be ready for it.
Take for example, survivalist Dr. Stirling Silverman (this is his pen name - he will not give us his real name for security reasons) who is featured in TLC's upcoming special, "Livin' for the Apocalypse." Since the late 1980's and in an undisclosed location in Missouri, Silverman has been stockpiling food, water, weaponry, silver – you name it – in the event of government or environmental failure.
"In the late '80s … I became aware that the government was just not going to be prepared for social security because they were spending the money that we were paying in," he says. "Of course, anybody who can do the math understands that the baby boomer [generation] is a large group of people … [today] you're going to have less people paying into the system and then you're going to have all these baby boomers that are expecting to get their retirement money from social security. I think it's criminally negligent that our politicians did not foresee this thing coming."
Expecting the possibilities of "social unrest, economic collapse and hyper-inflation," Silverman began collecting silver, which may be handy to have if the dollar collapses completely.
Think that sounds extreme? Consider the reasons why you're reading this article right now, or why a show called "Livin' for the Apocalypse" was made in the first place.
"I think just about everybody out there senses that we're on the verge of something really bad and a lot of people don't understand what it is," says Silverman. "This [TLC] show is one reflection of that. That's not something that would happen ten years ago. It was a very obscure type of topic in the '80s when I started, but its actually becoming mainstream."

As requested by the Chairman, Mr Barry Sheerman,
Capita Group has checked on the question raised by Mr Andrew Turner.
Whilst the DfES requested that Scheme and service
remained closedScotland requested access to the system.
As a result of re-opening the ILA system for Scotland on 31 December
2001 all Learning Providers, including those based in England,
were able to only view (not change) the booking details of individuals
booked on courses by that learning provider. This position was
clearly spelt out as a condition of re-instatement of the system
and this situation lasted until 7 January 2002. On the 7 January
2002 all non-Scottish Learning Provider passwords were de-activated
which meant that English Learning Providers could no longer even
view the course booking records described above.
At no time could any Learning Provider actually
update any English account holder record for any reason.
In addition, following 7 January 2002 and in
line with the Northern Ireland re-instatement, access to the system
was re-instated only for learning providers declaring they had
Scottish or Northern Ireland course bookings outstanding.
Neither the ILA Centre nor Learning Providers
were able to access the system between 25 November 2001 and 30
December 2001.

Grilled Bacon
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.Requires iOS 3.2 or later.
Age Rating: 4+
As a web developer, I often need access to my web servers from my iPhone or iPad. I rely on iSSH and LogMeIn Ignition to administer my Linux and Windows servers, but I occasionally need a tool for editing web pages when I'm on the go. Enter Grilled Bacon's Codosaurus, a $6.49 universal iPhone/iPad app that does precisely that. (A free feature-limited 'lite' version is also available.)
When you open the app the first time, you're prompted to create an optional master password, which is a really good idea since you can save connections to your servers, complete with their usernames and passwords. Server connections can be made via Wi-Fi or 3G. Unfortunately, connections are restricted to standard FTP, which limits the app's usefulness in my case, since most of the servers I manage use the more secure SFTP protocol. When making a new connection, you provide a descriptive name, then specify the server's URL, port, username, password and, optionally, starting path.
If you're accustomed to using graphical FTP-style apps, then proceeding from here should be pretty straightforward. The screen displays a listing of files and folders in the current directory. Tapping a folder displays its contents while tapping on a file opens it in the editor. Buttons along the top of the screen let you navigate back to the previous folder, go back to the connection screen or create a new file or folder. When creating a file, you can start with a completely blank page or use one of its templates (such as PHP or CSS). You can also modify its 'custom' template to include code of your own choosing.
When you're editing a web page, there are buttons at the top of the screen that let you go back to the current directory, jump to a specific line number, search within the document, email a copy of the current document and save your changes. Codosaurus also has what its developer calls a 'coding optimised' keyboard – a nice feature that adds some useful keys above the top row of the keyboard that code monkeys will appreciate.
Secret sode: When you edit a web page using Codosaurus, buttons at the top of the screen help you navigate, search, email and save your document. A coding-optimised on-screen keyboard places particularly useful keys at the top.
It's nice that the app is optimised for both iPad and iPhone displays. I much prefer using the app on the iPad because of the larger screen. However, I don't always have my iPad with me, so it's convenient to have the app on my iPhone as a backup without having to buy a separate version.
But there are some cons to Codosaurus. Besides the fact that it only supports standard FTP, the app doesn't have a progress indicator for when it's in the middle of a lengthy action, like connecting to a server or displaying the contents of a large folder. This makes it difficult to know if the app is working properly or frozen, or if it simply failed to register the screen tap. The editor lets you jump to a specific line number, but, oddly, there's no option to display line numbers. There's also no undo function in the editor mode. That can be very dangerous, considering that you're editing live web pages. I also had a problem with occasional crashes when making connections and navigating directories.
It would be useful if the row of special characters above the keyboard could be customised. For example, I'm sure that ASP coders would love to have a '%' symbol there. Another useful addition would be options for syntax highlighting and code-autocompletion.
Despite occasional connection problems and stability issues, Codosaurus has proven itself useful on occasion. I think that the app has promise, but it still feels like a work-in-progress. Unfortunately, the app hasn't been updated since last April, so for it to earn a permanent spot on my home screen, Codosaurus needs some more attention.

==== 1. Commentary: Beta Bits ==== by Paul Robichaux, News Editor, [email protected]
In last week's column ("The Future of Exchange Conferencing," http://www.exchangeadmin.com , InstantDoc ID 39346), I talked about the new Microsoft Office Real-Time Communications (RTC) Server, which will replace Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server and Exchange 2000 Instant Messaging (IM). I claimed that the product beta was available for download, and a couple of readers asked where they could find it. As it turns out, I was wrong: There is no public beta for RTC Server, so let me begin this column by eating crow. Microsoft has a private beta release but doesn't seem to be planning a public beta, although one might happen closer to the product's Release to Manufacturing (RTM) date. Just how does Microsoft distribute products before release, and how does the company choose who has access to prerelease versions of products such as Exchange Server 2003, RTC Server, and Outlook 2003?
First, some Microsoft product group (which consists of a development team, testers, marketers, writers, and all the folks who collaborate to get a product built, documented, and shipped) comes up with the idea for a new product, such as RTC Server. Completing a new product takes quite a bit of time, but the product will be at least partially usable before it's finished. The product group typically begins using the partially built product as soon as possible, testing the finished parts without wasting effort fixing the pieces that they know are unfinished.
During the development process, a running negotiation (some might say battle) takes place between the product's development team and marketing team, each of which typically has its own views on when the product should ship and which features must be included in the RTM version. Resolving these differing viewpoints requires a lot of give and take, and the final outcome can also depend on other product releases. For example, Exchange 2003's release schedule is related to Windows 2003 and Outlook 2003: New Exchange versions usually ship within 6 months of a new Windows release, and related client and server releases are likely to correspond with each other. RTC Server and Outlook 2003 are both part of the upcoming Microsoft Office System 2003, which incorporates several products that all affect the Office System release date.
Part of the development-versus-marketing negotiation involves setting up milestones for when the product can be released to testers outside of the development team. The first of these releases is usually to internal Microsoft users; Microsoft has a large corps of willing guinea pigs who are eager to test--and try to break--new stuff. This process is colloquially known as "eating your own dogfood" or "dogfooding." The Microsoft Operations and Technology Group (OTG) works with the product group to evaluate new products for stability, performance, and security, and to identify and fix whatever's broken. OTG began dogfooding Exchange 2003 and RTC Server to a small group of Microsoft users but quickly expanded the size of the bowl to include every mailbox at Microsoft--more than 80,000 total.
In parallel with the dogfood rollout, Exchange 2003, RTC Server, and Outlook 2003 were rolled out to a select group of partners who participate in the Joint Development Program (JDP). These customers, which vary from large industrial customers to small consulting firms, get star treatment: They get prebeta builds of products, which they must use in production. JDP customers also get extensive support from the product group and Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS). The JDP participants, who receive revised builds throughout the development cycle, help find problems, limitations, or bugs that might appear only in real-world environments. Participants have a great deal of influence over the product group's determination of the software's completion. In the case of Exchange 2003, each JDP partner must agree that the product is ready for release by certifying that it meets a stringent set of uptime and performance requirements.
At some point, the product is ready for wider distribution. Usually, Microsoft hosts an early private beta program for select customers who have either applied through Microsoft's BetaPlace ( http://www.betaplace.com or [email protected] ) or have been nominated by a Microsoft employee. Microsoft encourages these technical beta users to test the product, but beta testers aren't supposed to use the product in production and the degree of support they get is usually limited to newsgroups monitored by engineers from PSS and the product group.
The next stage of the testing program is usually a wider, public beta release that takes place a few months after the initial technical beta. This phase is sometimes called a "customer preview" or "marketing beta" because its object is to get a fairly stable, mostly complete product out to a wider audience. In the case of Office 2003, that meant releasing about 600,000 product kits. At this point, the product group is generally well aware of what remains to be fixed in the product, but additional testing always helps. Still, marketing beta participants typically find less than 15 percent of the total bugs in a new product.
When the development team, the OTG, and the JDP partners determine that the product is close to readiness, the developers usually produce a release candidate (RC). The RC is designed to find out whether the product can meet the product team's quality standards. For Exchange 2003, that means that all JDP sites must be able to run the product for at least 21 days with no interruption and no new severe bugs (the 21/0 rule). If the RC seems stable enough, the development team escrows the source code used to create that particular build and doesn't make any changes to that build tree. If the team finds subsequent problems, it decides on a case-by-case basis how to address them. Depending on the number and severity of problems, the team might create additional RC builds or special builds that go only to JDP participants. Each new build must meet the same 21/0 rule as the original RC.
By the time the product hits RC status, the product group has identified an RTM date for the product, at which point the product will be available for purchase. Microsoft is tight-lipped about RTM dates because they occasionally slip if severe problems turn up in an RC. Typically, customers who have Enterprise Agreements (EAs) or other large-scale licensing deals can use the product immediately after RTM, and other volume licensing customers can get the product soon after. Retail availability takes a little longer because the boxes and CD-ROMs take some time to manufacture and ship. In the meantime, though, Microsoft's usual practice is to release a 120-day evaluation version for download so that customers can have something to play with while they wait.
In the case of RTC Server, if you want to get your hands on the product before its official release, your best bet is to get your Microsoft Technical Account Manager (TAM) or salesperson to nominate you for the private technical beta that's currently under way. Windows and .NET Magazine will also cover the product in more detail as RTM draws closer.

Democrats retake control of Oregon Legislature
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
OF the Associated Press
SALEM — Democrats retake control of the Oregon state Legislature after two years of sharing power with Republicans in the House.
Thirty senators and 60 representatives will take the oath of office on Monday, and Gov. John Kitzhaber is scheduled to deliver his annual "state of the state" address to a joint session of the House and Senate.
Lawmakers will adopt rules and elect leaders but won't formally begin the legislative session until Feb. 4.
Democrats now have a solid 34-26 majority in the House. Rep. Tina Kotek, of Portland, was elected speaker, becoming the first lesbian to lead a state legislative chamber in the United States. She took the oath of office alongside her partner, Aimee Wilson.
Kotek urged her colleagues to listen, not to be afraid of different perspectives and not to shy away from robust but constructive debates.
"All the voices need to be heard, from the most vulnerable to the most well healed, if we are to meet our moral obligation to represent and serve all Oregonians," Kotek said.
Democrats also retain control the state Senate with a slight 16-14 edge. Sen. Peter Courtney, of Salem, was expected to be elected to a sixth term as Senate president — a position he's held longer than anyone else in Oregon history.
Lawmakers will have a busy calendar when they return next month to formally begin their business.
The economy has stabilized, avoiding the massive budget deficits that lawmakers have faced in recent years. But the costs of providing government services are rising faster than tax revenues, and the Legislature will still have to cut millions in spending to arrive at a balanced budget.
Kitzhaber has pushed lawmakers to cut back on pension benefits for public employees and to reduce spending on prisons. He said both ideas would free up money for higher priorities like schools and police. But they're politically risky for some lawmakers who were elected with strong support from public-employee unions or fear being portrayed as soft on crime.
Lawmakers also will confront environmental issues, transportation funding and immigration issues.

In the earlier article titled EEM demystified, we took an introductory look at the basic format for EEM applets, and some basic samples for general operation, including some basic CLI command usage, getting input, and displaying output.
In this article, we are going to take a look at some of the additional actions available, specifically looking at variables, a few operators, and some general conditional structures.
Note: For any commands that are shown that start with the word "action", these are commands configured from within applet configuration mode.
There are a number of built in variables, but you can also define some variables on your own. Cisco environmental variables begin with an underscore "_". Because of this it is strongly recommended that you do not use variables that start with "_", to avoid potential conflict.
In some cases, you will see a variable referenced with a dollar sign in front "$". This is to identify that the following item is a variable.
For example, comparing the following two lines:
action 1000 puts I action 1001 puts $I
Action 1000 will print the character "I", whereas action 1001 will print the value of the variable "I".
Variables can be set within the applet
Action 100 set I 5000
This will set the variable "I" to 5000.
Variables can also be set from global configuration
event manager environment I 5000
This will set the variable "I" to 5000.
Variables can also be set by CLI input using the "gets" action.
Action 1002 gets MYVAR
This action will take input from the console, and save the entered value as the variable MYVAR.
Add / Subtract / Multiply / Divide
Depending on what assumptions you make, you may not be correct in how these actions work. Basic math operations take place, but the
confusion generally centers around what happens with the resulting value.
Let's start with a basic example:
action 1000 set i 50 action 1001 set j 60 action 1002 add $i $j
Although we configured the operation of addition, the values for i and j are not changed by action 1002. The action just takes the two numbers and adds them together. Internally, the result is stored in the environmental variable "_result". If we wanted to see the answer to the addition, we could output the value using "puts".
action 1003 puts "The total is $_result."
Subtraction will subtract the second operand from the first, so "action 1004 subtract $i $j" would store the value "-10″ in the variable "_result".
Division is slightly different. Division will populate two variables, _result and _remainder.
action 1006 divide $j $i
If we divide 60 by 50, the value for _result would be 1, and the value for _remainder would be 10.
Increment / Decrement
These will actually increase (or decrease) the variables. The default value to increment / decrement is 1, but other values can be specified.
event manager applet I event none action 1000 set a 1 action 1001 puts $a action 1002 increment a action 1003 puts $a action 1004 increment a 10 action 1005 puts $a
The output received when the applet runs would be:
Note: For the set, increment, and decrement commands, the $ is not needed, since the syntax knows that it is expecting a variable. For the puts command, the $ is needed, so that the applet knows that you are not trying to just print the letter a.
Let's take a look at some conditional loops. Say we wanted to create 100 loopbacks, with a /24 mask, and the first two octets of 192.168, a fourth octet value of 1, and a third octet value from 0 to 99.
Here, we are going to use multiple variables. We are going to nest a while loop inside another while loop, while also adding in some
examples of addition and multiplication as shown earlier. We will take the values a and b and increment them from 0 to 9. The variables a and b will both start out at 0. Variable a will stay at 0 while variable b increments from 0 to 9. For each value, we are going to create a loopback interface. Once b reaches 9, we will reset variable b to 0, and increment a.
event manager applet NEWLOOP event none action 1000 set a 0 action 1001 set b 0 action 1002 cli command enable action 1003 cli command "conf t" action 1004 while $a le 9 action 1005 while $b le 9 action 1006 multiply $a 10 action 1007 set c _result action 1008 add $c $b action 1009 cli command "interface loopback $_result" action 1010 cli command "ip address 192.168.$_result.1 255.255.255.0" action 1011 increment b action 1012 end action 1013 set b 0 action 1012 increment a action 1013 end
OK, so additional variables used here include c and _result. Using the multiplication function, c will be 10 times a . After the multiplication, _result is overwritten with the value of c+b, and is used for the loopback creation. For each of the loopbacks created, the loopback number will effectively be (10*a)+b. When the conditional cycles complete, we will have 100 loopbacks, numbered from 0 to 99.
Note: We could have just used a single variable, and incremented from 0 to 99, but this example shows the usage of multiplication and addition for additional complexity.
Additional Examples
Let's take a look at some additional miscellaneous examples. According to some people, you can never be too evil when creating a practice lab.
Every 30 seconds, shut down the Fa0/0 interface, wait 10 seconds, and bring it back.
event manager applet FLAP event timer watchdog time 30 action 1 cli command "enable" action 100 cli command "config t" action 101 cli command "interface Fa0/0" action 102 cli command "shut" action 103 wait 10 action 104 cli command "no shut"
Intercept attempts to use the "write" commands, spoof some output, and then reload the device.
event manager applet NOSAVE event cli pattern "write" sync yes action 111 puts "Building configuration..." action 112 wait 5 action 113 puts "[OK]" action 114 set _exit_status "0" action 115 reload
Use CLI matching to prevent specific commands from running:
event manager applet NOSHSTART event cli pattern "show start" sync no skip yes
event manager applet NOWRT event cli pattern "write term" sync no skip yes
event manager applet NOWRE event cli pattern "write erase" sync no skip yes
Note: The CLI detector will match patterns based on the full command, not just on what was typed. For example, "wr t" entered at the console will still be matched by the pattern "write term".
Hide applets from the running config by intercepting the "show run" command, and replacing with filtered output.
event manager applet TheseAreNotTheAppletsYou'reLookingFor event cli pattern "show run" sync yes action 111 cli command "enable" action 112 cli command "show run | excl applet|event|action" action 113 puts "$_cli_result" action 114 set _exit_status "0"
Using EEM to create an IOS menu without using the "menu" command.
username MYUSER secret cisco username MYUSER priv 15 username MYUSER autocommand MN alias exec MN event manager run MYNOC event manager applet MYNOC event none action 0 puts "" action 1 puts "1 Shutdown Frame Interface" action 2 puts "2 Bring up Frame Interface" action 3 gets opt action 4 if $opt eq 1 goto 800 action 5 if $opt eq 2 goto 900 action 6 if $opt ne 2 goto 1 action 800 puts "Shutting Down Frame" action 801 cli command "enable" action 802 cli command "config term" action 803 cli command "interface Ser0/0/0" action 804 cli command "shut" action 805 cli command "end" action 806 cli command "wr mem" action 850 exit action 900 puts "Bringing up Frame" action 901 cli command "enable" action 902 cli command "config term" action 903 cli command "interface Ser0/0/0" action 904 cli command "no shut" action 905 cli command "end" action 906 cli command "Wr mem" action 950 exit

quite powerful scripting.
That was so informative! i guess there are still too many things to learn about EEM! As there seems to be different ways to configure EEM to do the same task what happens if in the lab your configuration is not what cisco are expecting? are you going to fail the task?!
Lab grading is results based. As long as your config meets the requirements for the end result, you should get credit for the section.
Is there is any IOS Limitation for EEM Applet programing as mentioned ,
Hi guys,
I think there are two typos in applet NEWLOOP.
First one: action 1007 set c _result
Must be: action 1007 set c $_result
Second one:
action 1012 end
action 1013 set b 0
action 1012 increment a
action 1013 end
Must be:
action 1012 end
action 1013 set b 0
action 1014 increment a
action 1015 end
I have tested the applet NEWLOOP on ISR1841 with IOS 12.4(24)T3 with this small modifications and it works fine.
Thanks for this great examples und configurations snips.

Presbyterian Pioneer MissionariesPresbyterian Pioneer Missionaries. in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. This book was authored (although edited might be a more accurate description) by the Rev. Hugh McKellar, D.D. in 1924. In his introduction the Rev. Hugh makes it clear that he was motivated to make a permanent record of the pioneer missionaries who helped to carry the Presbyterian ministries into the developing prairie and western provinces of Canada. The Rev. Hugh does not lay any claim to the completeness of his record but to judge from the listing of ministers and missionaries sent into the western provinces included in the rear of the book it would appear to be quite exhaustive.The reason I use the term "editor" rather than "author" is that many of the later biographies and reminiscences are attributed to other writers, either in answer to Rev. Hugh's inquiries, or in writing about the subjects for other purposes, i.e., church reports. Many of the written reports are accompanied by photographs - or in a couple of instances - drawings - of the subjects, sometimes including their spouses and occasionally showing the buildings from which they conducted their ministry.Clearly the primary reason for inclusion in this book is work done in the provinces from Manitoba westward but so many of these individuals had previously established ministries in the east and so the book also includes much of the personal history of the Presbyterian church personnel in Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces.While the book is primarily about the lives of the missionaries their stories are inextricably bound up with the story of the development of the Canadian west so that the reader will find this is also a history of the settlement of western Canada starting with the idealistic settlement along the Red River, championed by Lord Selkirk - the source of so much political wrangling and violence.A valuable resource both for its personal histories and as a guide to the early history of the Canadian west.

Wheat Growers
by ND Wheat
Posted on 9/15/2017
North Dakota Wheat Commission Chairman David Clough and Lt. Governor Brent Sanford today joined members of a Taiwanese agricultural trade delegation in signing a joint statement demonstrating Taiwan's intent to purchase 66 million bushels of U.S. wheat valued at about $576 million. The signing ceremony was held in Memorial Hall at the State Capitol.
Taiwan intends to purchase the wheat in 2018 and 2019. Members of the trade delegation included representatives of the Taiwan Flour Mills Association, which provides collective buying and shipping services for all 20 flour mills in Taiwan. Also participating in the trade mission were officials from leading Taiwan flour mills and Bo-Yuan Chen, director of the U.S. Wheat Associates' (USW) Taipei office.
Taiwan is on average the sixth largest market for U.S. wheat, purchasing 38 million bushels each year in recent years. Hard red spring wheat (HRS), of which North Dakota is the largest producer, makes up more than half of the exports and Taiwan is typically the third largest export market for this class of wheat. The country also makes significant purchases of hard red winter and white wheat.
"The United States has a commanding market share in Taiwan, accounting for nearly 80 percent of all wheat imported into the country," Clough said, "significant HRS imports reflect a need for strong gluten flour for breads, rolls and frozen dough products as well as for blending with other classes of wheat. Taiwan is committed to purchasing high quality wheat, and as producers, we are committed to growing wheat that meets their needs." This commitment has been demonstrated through more than 50 years of wheat trade between the two countries. USW opened their office in Taipei in 1966 and works with end users and importers to help them strengthen relationships with the U.S. wheat industry and provides customer and technical service to millers and bakers.
The delegation was in Washington, D.C. prior to coming to North Dakota and also signed a letter of intent with U.S. Wheat Associates. They will travel to Montana and Idaho following their North Dakota visit. Following meetings at the Capitol today, the group met with key legislative leaders in North Dakota, farm group leaders and they visited South Central Grain in Sterling to get a first-hand look at the 2017 crop.

Audra used the women of Motus in "An exploration of good versus evil and the relationship between the two. Humankind is driven by the constant need of good triumphing over evil, however, without negative influence, we lose purpose in the search for internal and external love."
The second site-specific work in Motus' INsideOut series featured a collaboration with Jan Need. She created a piece entitled "Passage" specifically for the Indy Indie Artist space. The first three of six sections was performed on Friday, April 6th during First Friday at the Indy Indie Artist Colony. Inspiration for the piece is drawn from personal struggles with fibromyalgia and degenterative disc disease. The piece demonstrated the depth of pain a person can suffer starting with the body, then the heart and finally progressing to the soul.

If you have ever had the privilege of watching Motus Dance Theatre in action than you already know that they never do anything half-assed. Their pieces are always powerful, thought provoking and intense. The Motus offering for this year's indyFringe Festival, broken fragile mind, is all of these and more. ~ Mark Cline, www.funcityfinder.com
These dancers were committed to the characters they were playing; committed to the forms the choreography dictated; committed to the metaphor they were dramatizing; and committed to each other. ~ Jake Roesler, www.SmallerIndiana.com

Cover of Bob Dylan's Christmas Album Not As Funny As We'd Hoped
We're pretty sure we've seen that cover on a plate hanging in our mom's house.
Man, what a letdown. After we painstakingly Photoshopped this amazing cover art and polled our readers for their suggestions for the title, Rolling Stone today reveals the details of Bob Dylan's upcoming Christmas album, and he's apparently ignored all our ideas. It will be called Christmas in the Heart (Gotta Serve Somebody Eggnog would've been much better) and hit stores October 13; also, its cover will feature a painting we're pretty sure we've seen on a plate hanging in our mom's house. Its track list will include classic holiday jams like "Must Be Santa," "Little Drummer Boy," "Winter Wonderland," and "Here Comes Santa Claus." One thing that still gives us hope: RS says that all proceeds from the album will go to charity, which means that it's definitely not a cash grab and that Dylan likely made this thing just to be funny. So we're still cautiously optimistic here.

Critic Reviews for Afraid of the Dark
All Critics (4) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (3)
Debut of Mark People (co-writer of Bertolucci's Last Emperor) is a borderline pretentious cerebral thriller, aiming at delving into the inner workings of the mind, but acting by young protag Keyworth and James Fox and Fanny Ardant as his parents is good.

Attorneys for builders and developers constantly advise their clients to use carefully drafted and reviewed contract documents as the best protection against litigious consumers. It is good advice, but a recent case in the federal court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania demonstrates how even a well-written contract may not be enough to provide the protections sought, especially where fraud or misrepresentation becomes an issue.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum and her husband Channing Tatum were photographed strolling hand in hand as they crossed the street in Los Angeles, California a few days ago.
I think it's really sweet to see couples out holding hands like this. I have always thought that Jenna and Channing suit each other perfectly! She wore a pair of AG Adriano Goldschmied The Belle Flare jeans in 7 Years with some wedges and a crochet top. I haven't seen anymore photos of Channing's jeans, so I am unsure on the brand of those. Buy these jeans online at AG Jeans for $175.

ALL nights or day/night MIX shift to pick? HELP! need to reply to recruiter!
Hi all nurses.com!!
I am a new grad ready to start my new job soon, however had a question for you, the recruiter called me and asked if I wanted all nights or day/night mix shift.... I have no experience so wondering what the pros and cons and maybe what you would prefer picking and why?
ALL night shifts: i would have to adjust for only for the first few weeks??
Day/Night Mix shifts: i would constantly be adjusting my sleep schedule?? would i be a zombie?
THANKS in advance for any comments or advice!!

employed RN; from USJan 17, '12thats what I figured, they said that regarding the day/night shifts, that the days wouldnt be right next to each other, but i figure, for the long run it would be better just to stay one way...
thanks for the quick response MORTEJan 17, '12I have worked shift work for an entire lifetime. I have never "Liked" days. Too many people, to many managers. Day/evening rotation is doable. Day/night extremely difficult. You will spend fprever catching up on sleep and utilizing your "days off" to sleep. Your body never really figures out whether you ant it to be a wake, asleep or eating. My vote.....straight nights.
Congratulations!!!!! ON your job!!!! Good luck!!Jan 17, '12Having worked a mix (albeit not as a nurse), it is definitely harder on the body than having a consistent schedule. It can be done, but its's very hard. So unless you really have an urge to work day shifts or prefer to keep more of your nights free, I'd go with the all nights.Jan 17, '12I am a new grad so this will be my first job after almost 3-4 months of job searching. I will be moving out of state. It really doesnt matter to me when i go to work, just I think I would like it to be consistent (so i dont have to keep adjusting every few days --- ill just adjust for the first few weeks of work)? of course ALL DAYS would be nice but that wasnt an option (not surprising, but its ok, i have a job!)
ALSO, was talking with my mother about this and she was concerned about the safety from leaving work at 3am (IF that was an 8hr shift) but I guess that is another story... I'll bring a pepper spray i guess hahaa!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Keep the comments/advice coming! :spin:Jan 17, '12I once worked 2 12s and 2 8s a week with rotating da/noc. so, in one week i actually worked all three shifts. you really "see" the damage better after the fact, or watching someone else try to do it. This was also part of my invitation to leave, so to speak.Jan 17, '12wow... thanks for the advice, i think i will do all nights just so i could have some consistency and not be too much of a zombie during my days off...Jan 17, '12Definitely take all nights. I work nights and I can't imagine flipping back and forth regularly. Oh why would you do that to yourselfJan 17, '12I do this now in my job. If you have a choice, I would recommend straight nights to keep some sort of consistent schedule. I'm tired often and my poor body gets confused!Jan 17, '12I would go with days more healthy for the body imo. but never do a mix like that it would drive you crazy .Jan 17, '12I've done both. And as a night shifter, you WILL be flipping back and forth: on your days off you will be adjusting to being awake with the rest of the world, and just when you're feeling normal again, you will flip back to walking amongst those in the land of the living dead.
Still, the only way I'd consider rotating between nights and days, is if it was scheduled in blocks. As in, one or more months of nights then flip to one or months of days.
Night shifts are however, a great way to get your feet wet and learn. There is less pressure and interruptions allowing you to focus on honing your skills. Your coworkers also, will have a little more time to mentor you along.
Best wishes and congratulations in your new position! W0oT!
