Different roles for CNS's??? Come on guys share what you do! - page 7
Good evening everyone! Those of us that are CNS's have a great variety of roles/jobs and I am curious just what everyone else does. I graduated in May with a post-MSN adult CNS. Currently, I work in... Read More
Apr 12, '08....and yes, I'm quite happy. I owe it to a couple of great mentors, one of whom held my feet to the fire with a threat of an incomplete grade if I didn't step out of my comfort zone. She always told us that we couldn't be great "Change Agents" if we were "afraid of change ourselves", and I've tried to live up to those expectations to the best of my abilities ever since graduating. I think that's one of the reasons that the CNS program at the University of Texas SON remains one of the topped ranked programs to this day.
Once completing the core advanced nursing courses (i.e. phys/pathophys, assessment, pharm, etc.), we had to have additional clinical/work experiences that were not based in our core set which for me was cardiac critical care/some trauma. I tell you all that the first step I was forced to take out of my comfort zone was one of the hardest ever, but once I got used to it, I rarely looked back and wouldn't trade any of those experiences for the world (well, maybe one of them I would consider trading...LOL). I ended up with clinical experiences that back in '92-'93 were considered cutting edge (i.e. portable ECHMO; artifical heart, balloon, and CAD pumps; rehab w/motorized artificial limbs; new human skin burn grafts; and highly specialized cancer treatments to name a few). We also were at hospitals that were fully electronic in all aspects of clinical documentation, and, we had Email which was a huge thing back then because there were no GUI's yet (i.e. Yahoo!, AOL, Netscape, etc.). I suffered huge computer world shock when I returned home to Michigan in '93 to hospitals that were just starting EMR's or that still used paper kardex and med card systems (Old Timers know just what I'm talking about so you Newbies be quiet!!). I ended up with work experiences that were way out of my comfort zone because I had never had the opportunity or thought about developing them as a skill set (i.e. legal/Risk Management; financial/budgeting; unit design & layout; clinical research; translating research that I had actually participated in to clinical practice; and actually monitoring clinical studies that were in progress). I also received some of the best trauma training (and certification) available at the time in the USA at Ben Taub Hospital (only the LA General and Baltimore programs were comparable at that time). In fact, I was trained on the trauma "Golden Hour" method which was being researched at Ben Taub by Dr's Pepe & Maddox during my time there. All those experiences made me realize that it's fine to have core expertise, but that you also need to have experience in the non-clinical facets of practice to be truly able to create, promote, and sustain needed change (especially in todays business driven world).
Anyhoo, thank you all for letting me type your eyes off and for the opportunity to share a small portion of my training with you! After being a nurse for so long, I have lots to tell and am willing to share whenever asked, ok?Last edit by susanhrn on Apr 12, '08
Apr 12, '08WOW brizzo - that is a great role. If I may ask, what have been some of your greatest challenges and successes?
Apr 12, '08Trauma, same question to you about your experiences as a broadcast journalist - how have you been able to integrate that into ANP role? What have been some of your greatest challenges and successes?
Apr 13, '08I really enjoyed my time in journalism but it is a cut-throat business and very political. It wasn't something I was cut out to do. I am much happier in nursing. Probably my greatest accomplishment is getting thru school - lol. When I went back to school for my BSN and MSN, etc., there was a lot going on at home. I really had to blank out much in order to study. I really feel I earned these degrees.
Thanks for asking.
Apr 15, '08Hi everyone,I have been accepted to SFSU's Generic Masters program, accelerated RN followed by CNS in
Pediatrics. I am trying to gather more information as to what opportunities would be
available to me with this degree. I've read all of the posts but I still can't seem to get a firm grasp of the
CNS role. This is a second career for me, coming from a desk job, I am interested in
hands on patients care and working with families. I also have a strong interest in
science, especially physiology. What are some of the pros and cons of the CNS degree? Thanks!
Apr 15, '08Much depends on your state's nurse practice act. If you are considered an advanced practice nurse (APN) then you usually have prescribing priviledges, ability to actually "care and treat" the patient. However, the CNS role has many branches: some CNS's are the change agent of the hospital, while others work in staff development.
Is there a possibility of shadowing a pediatric CNS? Also, does the school provide contacts of alumni who have successfully found jobs? This is another biggie because if your area is saturated, finding a job might be difficult.
Apr 15, '08Quote from Om3155I would turn your question around and ask you, what do you want to do with your career and what degree do you need to help you do that and reach your goals? How did you decide that you want a peds CNS MSN if you don't know what peds CNSs do and what you can do with that degree? Maybe you need to do more research before you make a decision, because it's an important and expensive decision that you're making. I'm not making any comment about the direct-entry MSN programs in general, pro or con, but I have known a number of people who became NPs, CNMs, etc., through direct-entry programs without any experience in nursing, and then discovered, after they had completed a very expensive and demanding MSN program, that they didn't like being an NP, CNM, whatever, and found themselves with a degree and "career" they didn't want, and a huge load of student loans that they still have to repay ...Hi everyone,I have been accepted to SFSU's Generic Masters program, accelerated RN followed by CNS in

Is there some reason why you can't just pursue basic RN licensure, work as an RN for a while, get a better feel for what opportunities are out there, and then make a better-informed decision about furthering your career?
Apr 15, '08Quote from elkparkI have the same concern as elkpark. Once you get some experience as an RN, you'll be in a better position to choose an advanced practice path. If the generic MSN program is right for you, then go for it, by all means. You'll be a step ahead. But I suggest working as an RN a year or so before investing in advanced role education. I too have encountered many people who regreted making such a big investment prematurely.I'm not making any comment about the direct-entry MSN programs in general, pro or con, but I have known a number of people who became NPs, CNMs, etc., through direct-entry programs without any experience in nursing, and then discovered, after they had completed a very expensive and demanding MSN program, that they didn't like being an NP, CNM, whatever, and found themselves with a degree and "career" they didn't want, and a huge load of student loans that they still have to repay ...
The CNS role is essentially a "generic role" that focuses at an advanced level on a specific population. What distiguishes the role is its flexibility. Instead of preparing you to perform 1 or 2 specific job functions, a CNS education prepares you to fulfill a variety of job functions that require advanced knowledge of nursing processes related to a specific patient population. A CNS is prepared to provide to provide direct nursing care, be a resource for staff, teach, manage a program, research, evaluate care, etc. for the population selected (e.g. pediatrics).
So, the role does look a little different from place to place ... person to person ... as the needs and the interests of individuals are not the same everywhere. The CNS must be able to design their own role based on the needs of her employer and the needs of patients and nursing staff she works with. That's another reason why it is good to have some clinical experience prior to becoming a CNS. It takes someone "mature in their practice" to have the judgment necessary to create and modify their role to suit the situation.
Apr 15, '08Thanks for the replies.
In response to "How did you decide that you want a peds CNS MSN if you don't know what peds CNSs do and what you can do with that degree?" I know I want to work with children, from my past experiences, I am completely sure about this. Since this is a second career for me I am limited as to where I could apply and SFSU is close by and affordable. I have been researching online here, and other sites as well as speaking to professors and other nurses. I will look into shadowing a Pediatric CNS.
I posed the question to find out more about specific personal likes and dislikes about the role. Because I do not want to go through the program and be unhappy with the role. BTW, I am also considering an accelerated BSN program.
Thanks again.
Apr 15, '08Plenty of people have long, full careers as pediatric nurses without going to graduate school -- there are many options in pediatric nursing besides getting an MSN and becoming a pedi CNS, and there are much less expensive and demanding ways to get into nursing than direct-entry programs. I'm not particularly trying to discourage you; just encouraging you to look at all your options and not lock yourself into a particular path too early.
I don't understand your comment about how "since this is a second career for me I am limited as to where I could apply." There is no reason that second-career people can't apply to and get accepted into "regular" ADN or BSN nursing programs; you also mentioned the possibility of an accelerated BSN program.
We're getting kinda off-topic, so I'll shut up now ...
Apr 15, '08Ok..so we are now officially off topic! I was really just asking about your personal likes and dislikes about the role. Because I am trying to find out ,more than I know now, about the role. This is only one source.
I know you are not discouraging me-and this is what I am doing, looking into all my options. And before posting here I have looked at them all, believe me.
So what do you like and dislike about your role?
Jul 19, '08Hi, I am also a CNS and am practicing in staff education. Here in NY a CNS does not have prescriptive priveleges and the jobs do not seem to be too numerous. There are positions in Manhattan and they mostly consist of specialty areas where it seems the CNS covers hospital units and does everything from policies to inservice as well as patient and family eduction (I couldn't speak to exactly what hey do in the hospital) <My position includes all staff education responsibilities such as orientation classes, inservice, policy and procedures, and committee memberships. I enjoy it and know I made the right decision and am where I wanrt to be now.:wink2:
Sep 6, '08I am a CNS and most physicians I know look as CNS as an educator or researcher. I work for a doctor and function as an NP (diagnosis, prescribe, bill etc). The doctor who hired me knew that I was an ANP and did not care what if I was a CNS, NP, or PA...as long as I know my stuff and able to bill..I was happy that she gave me that chance and prove myself. It's sad to say but I had a hard time with fellow NP at the hospital who feels that I needed to go back to the NP program to do what I'm doing now. I remember hearing comments that "she's not an NP, she's a CNS"...(a lot of hosp staff has a habit or thinks I'm an NP so they will say I am an NP and that when the other NP hears this...They would correct them and made it known that I was a CNS. Which I do introduce myself as an APN/CNS...but still they see me as an NP. It is getting better that the NP are not "making side remarks"...I do my job and take care of my patients and I enjoy what I do. Any CNS who function as an NP out their with similar experience? Where I work there is only 2 others who function like the NP as a CNS.

39 Tasting Notes
Had this again over the weekend. I have to admit that I'm hoarding my last few tea bags of this because I don't want to buy more tea (I have enough and I'm moving in 1.5 weeks) but don't have any other genmaichas in my cupboard. Hopefully I can sipdown some of my Della Terra samples to justify placing a Verdant order for their genmaichas….. :)
This is the first Verdant Tea I have ever tried! It was from the 5 for $5 sampler that I received a few weeks ago; however, I was waiting for the right moment to dive into these teas. Anyway, I have only brewed teas western style, so brewing this tea with Verdant's directions was an experiment.
1st steep (after rinsing): 20 sec, rock-metallic flavor. I am confused at this point.
2nd steed: 30 sec, metallic flavor plus buttery-ness at the end of the sip
3-5th steeps: progressively longer steeps, lots of buttery goodness.
Overall, I really enjoyed this tea experiment. I may have underleafed, or I may just not me used to the more subtle flavors of oolongs. Either way, I have enough of my sample left for at least one more tasting, plus my other 4 Verdant samples!
This is sooooo good!! I wanted something I hadn't tried yet, so I chose this. I have never had a strawberry flavored tea, and after tasting this one, I'm sure it won't be my last. The strawberry is a bit candy like, but I like that flavor. I get a bit of cream, but the strawberry note is much stronger. I would definitely consider repurchasing this once my sample runs out. This would be great for the spring time!

Lloyd Banks & Tony Yayo Talk Eminem
[vodpod id=Video.4123521&w=425&h=350&fv=configParams%3Dvid%253D546797%2526uri%253Dmgid%253Auma%253Avideo%253Amtv.com%253A546797]
Two-thirds of G-Unit discuss with MTV Eminem's success with Recovery. Yayo even goes on to call him the Godfather of Hip-Hop. Bambaataa ain't gon like that. Ha!
"Eminem is like the godfather of the hip-hop game," Yayo said. "In a time like this, when records are not selling, he's the only one that is selling. You know, Drake and all the other ones [did well], but Em did [close to] 800,000 his first week, and he's #1 for the fifth week. It's incredible. I think he has a faithful fan base of people who have been following him for years. They're not going to stop following him and not stop listening to his music. Em said he didn't like his last album as much as this one. You can hear the difference. I like both of the albums. '3 a.m.' is one of my joints. But Eminem has followers that's gonna mess with him until the day he dies."

UTICA The Crystal Ballroom at the Hotel Utica was alive with excitement Tuesday, in anticipation of the arrival of the first lady, Mrs. Laura Bush. The visit was part of a fundraising event for State Senator Ray Meiers (R-Western) congressional campaign. More than 300 people purchased tickets to the event for $150 a piece. Approximately 30 people paid an additional $1,000 to have their picture taken with the first lady.
The event kicked off with a prayer, and then Meiers wife Kim took the stage. She thanked everyone who had contributed to the campaign, and recognized many people who were in attendance, before introducing her husband.
Meier spoke briefly, asking the first lady to deliver a message to her husband.
Let him know we send him our prayers and best wishes as he continues his service to this great country, Meier said. He then changed topics and began discussing his competitors. They are so negative, they must depress themselves, Meier said. He criticized the negative campaigning of his opponents, claiming that he takes a different approach. We continue to appeal to the best in people, he said.

Ask a Librarian is a virtual reference service that connects students, faculty and researchers from participating libraries with real-time research assistance through chat.
Users are served by librarians and library staff from participating Ontario universities, along with mentees who are current students or recent graduates of Masters-level programs in library or information studies.
For help in French, patrons can use the francophone version of Ask a Librarian, Clavardez avec nos bibliothécaires, a pilot service that launched in 2014.
How does Ask a Librarian work?
Using LibraryH3lp's chat software, library staff members and mentees engage with users to answer library- and research-related questions. During their shifts, Ask a Librarian operators also use an interactive staff space to communicate with each other to coordinate chat transfers and share knowledge when answering questions. When the service is closed, each question entered by a user is automatically routed to their home library's reference inbox.
The service is open 67 hours per week, and multiple operators are scheduled for each shift. Service hours and the number of operators are monitored and adjusted to best meet demand as the service is rolled out to more Ontario university libraries.
The following institutions are currently participating:
Brock University
Carleton University
University of Guelph
University of Guelph-Humber
Lakehead University
Laurentian University
McMaster University
OCAD University
University of Ontario Institute of Technology
University of Ottawa
Ryerson University
Saint Paul University
University of Toronto - St. George
University of Toronto - Mississauga
University of Toronto - Scarborough
Western University
York University

Dan is seventy five years old, he worked all his life as Equipment Operator, Master Mechanic on trucks and equipment. Lift school when he was fifteen, and pursued an outdoor life. Many stories he could tell about the mountains, and the people he worked with, and knew. Hunted and fished all his life, fresh meat for the table. He has read thousands of books, authors like, Louis L'Amour, Edgar Rice Burroughs, are just some of the authors he liked the most. Their grammar wasn't so good, but they had a fleet of editors. Because of his school day's, and the work he pursued, Dan's grammar is not the best. If you are one of those that has to have perfect grammar, you just as well go away now. But he tells his stories in a straight forward way, you will understand his work. Read his true stories book called 'Young Dan and HORROR-able People' some of the things he tells will make your heir stand on end. It is an exciting book about true things that happened during his school days. He has four fiction books, The Dart Game,-The Distant Crater,-The Far, far away Planet,-Gods of New Eden are all on Kindle. And will soon be on Smashwords.

This story was very touching. I enjoyed the way it was told and I was able to read it in one setting. This story actually made me cry. I will not spoil it for you, get your copy today and enjoy it for yourself. I ended up buying it twice because I was trying to loan it to a friend and made a mistake and deleted it from my library.

From the first conversation with Daniela, I knew that I wanted to work with her. Her attention to detail, vision, creativity and passion for what she does is something that I noticed about her right away. Not only has her work been showcased in the luxurious WedLuxe Magazine, but her legacy and positive reputation was well noted throughout the wedding process by many wedding vendors. She pours out her soul in all that she does; she was easy to get a hold of whenever I needed her; she was easy to work with and finally, she executed our vision way beyond anything I could have ever imagined. WOW, WOW, WOW!!! I will definitely be a returning customer (or as I like to call it, friend), because she made it easy to trust her, she prioritized our needs and she brought our vision to life. I still have guests talking about how beautiful the wedding decor looked!! Daniella really went above and beyond anything I could have expected. She even added details to areas that we did not even discuss, just because she felt that it would add to the overall look. I am truly appreciative of all the time and hard work that she put into our day, she truly wants her clients to be happy and it shows! I would encourage any Bride and Groom to work with Daniela from D&D Floral Designs because she is an incredible asset to have on the day of your wedding and she completely relieves you of all stress related to décor and design.Thanks again Daniella and D&D Floral Design, You guys are truly the best! In health,Dr. Sylvia Santos and Michael Astone

Daniela is the sweetest! During our consultation, she absolutely blew me away. She captured our vision and enhanced it right off the bat. She is a great communicator and she took so much time perfecting every detail on the wedding day; nothing was over looked. Her enthusiasm for wedding design was evident and her imagination is very impressive. She absolutely NAILED our vision! Trust her and enjoy the process; she won't disappoint!
Marie Chalons
Where do I even start? Daniela was such an incredible vendor to work with. In our first few meetings, she sat quietly and took notes as I talked my head off about all the different ideas I had (without any clear vision, colour scheme, etc.). I remember leaving the first appointment worried that maybe she wouldn't get what I was picturing in my head because of all the different ideas I had thrown out. A few months later, I showed up to my trial and the flowers were EXACTLY what I wanted. From the types of flowers, to the vases, to the way they were arranged, it's as if she took my favourite pins from my Pinterest board and created the ultimate arrangements. We ended up going with 3 different centerpieces for the day of the wedding, and one was more beautiful than the next. Beyond her amazing artistry, Daniela was also quick to respond to all of my panic-induced e-mails and calls. She didn't try to upsell or pressure us to get arrangements that would end up being wasted. The day of the wedding, she hand delivered by bouquet to my house and even wiped down my front door that had gotten dirty, to prevent me from ruining my dress when I walked out of the house. She was so fantastic to work with, and I will not hesitate to recommend her to any of my friends and family. Thank you so much Daniela! xo

Venturing forcefully into one of the more contentious issues of the campaign, Laura Bush on Monday defended the limits her husband had imposed on embryonic stem cell research and criticized those who suggested that the research could lead quickly to cures for Alzheimer's and other diseases.
''I hope that stem cell research will yield cures and therapies for a myriad of illnesses,'' Mrs. Bush told an audience about 300 supporters, many of them doctors and nurses, at a campaign event in Langhorne, Pa. ''But I know that embryonic stem cell research is very preliminary and the implication that cures for Alzheimer's are around the corner is just not right, and it's really not fair to the people who are watching a loved one suffer from this disease.''
The remarks were a thinly veiled reference to comments by Ron Reagan, who suggested loosening restrictions on the research in a speech at the Democratic National Convention, just six weeks after the death of his father, former President Ronald Reagan, who had Alzheimer's.
Mrs. Bush pointed out that she, too, lost her father to Alzheimer's. While she has responded publicly to questions about the issue, it was the first time she had included stem cell research in the speeches she is giving to try to help buoy the president's campaign, especially among undecided female voters.
Mrs. Bush spoke on the third anniversary of President Bush's decision to limit federal financing for embryonic stem cell research to the 78 stem cell lines in existence at the time and as the issue moved to the forefront of the campaign.Continue reading the main story
Nancy Reagan, the former first lady, and a bipartisan group of lawmakers have argued that less stringent limits on science could eventually lead to breakthroughs to help those who suffer from diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.
With polls showing wide support for stem cell research, Democrats consider the issue one that plays to their advantage, dividing Republicans. The Democratic nominee, Senator John Kerry, raised the issue in a radio address on Saturday, vowing to lift the restrictions on research if he became president and saying the government should not ''sacrifice science for ideology.''
On Monday, Mr. Kerry restated the point, speaking to reporters in Arizona.
''It is entirely within ethical bounds to do embryonic stem cell research without violating one's beliefs at all about what life is or where it is and what matters,'' he said. ''I think you have to measure it also against the lives you save, against the diseases that you're curing. Life is important to us, and I think if we can cure Alzheimer's, if we can cure AIDS, if we can cure diabetes, if we can save millions of lives by doing research on something that may be destroyed anyway, that the balance is important.''
His running mate, Senator John Edwards, also hit those themes on Monday.
''Today we mark a sad anniversary,'' Mr. Edwards said, referring to Mr. Bush's decision of Aug. 9, 2001, to limit federal financing for studies involving only those stem cell lines already in existence. ''But our focus isn't on what happened three years ago. Our focus is what can happen for millions of Americans who have diseases and conditions that one day could be cured or abated by stem cell therapy.''
The debate over embryonic stem cell research is a thorny one because to cultivate stem cell lines, researchers must destroy human embryos. That draws strong criticism from religious conservatives and abortion opponents who are an important element of Mr. Bush's political base.
Mrs. Bush, speaking to members of the Pennsylvania Medical Society, which endorsed the president, said that the White House's policy of restricting federal financing to stem cell lines already in existence made it ''possible for researchers to explore the potential of stem cells while respecting the ethical and moral implications'' surrounding the issue, which she said ''should not be treated lightly.''
She added that while audience members ''might not know about it from reading the news lately,'' Mr. Bush had authorized $25 million for research on the embryonic cells already in existence, and she said he was the first president to authorize federal money for that purpose.
Mrs. Bush's remarks, mostly emphasizing the rudimentary nature of embryonic cell research, raised the question of whether she would support the research if science were further along in harnessing the cells to help cure certain diseases. But Mrs. Bush's press secretary, Gordon Johndroe, said that the first lady would not and was not trying to dance around the issue. Like the president, he said, she believes that embryonic cell research presents a ''moral issue that has to be dealt with.''
''There's no gray area here,'' he said. ''She fully supports the president's policy.''
At the White House, spokesman Scott McClellan credited Mr. Bush, who was the first president to face the issue of federal financing as the science evolved. ''This president is delivering when it comes to advancing medical research and combating disease,'' he said, ''He is the first president to authorize federal funding to explore the promise and potential of embryonic stem cell research. We are doing so in a way that doesn't cross an ethical line. And it's important that we not go down a dangerous, slippery slope where we divorce ethics from science.''
On the first day of a rare two-day campaign trip, Mrs. Bush largely adhered to a standard speech that she has used at fund-raisers and on a trip to Las Vegas in May.
Speaking to audiences mostly of enthusiastic supporters, she emphasizes issues like education, home ownership and health care, stressing the president's tax cuts and speaking only briefly about the war in Iraq and the invasion of Afghanistan.
But the remarks about stem cell research signaled that Mrs. Bush -- who many years ago jokingly secured a promise from her husband that he would never make her give a political speech -- is taking a larger and more assertive role in the president's campaign.Continue reading the main story

Tuesday will be the end of the Bench Mob.
The deadline for Bulls options on Ronnie Brewer's $4.37 million and C.J. Watson's $3.2 million salaries has arrived. A decision on Kyle Korver's $5 million option is due by Sunday.
In the wake of Kirk Hinrich's signing, Watson's camp already has been told his option won't be picked up. Brewer long has been considered the most expendable of the three because Jimmy Butler, last year's first-round pick, will assume his role.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV) -- Plans are moving forward to transform Crestwood Court Mall into an open-air entertainment district. Most of the mall would be torn down to make way for restaurants, a grocery store, a movie theater, and even concerts. It will be called The District at Crestwood.
Centrum Partners out of Chicago owns the property. The developer revealed the plans to Crestwood city leaders Tuesday night. Mayor Jeff Schlink is excited about the project and says it will be a major transformation.
"For people to get away from that property being a mall is going to be a big shift for them," he said. "I think once people see the plans and wrap their minds around it, it will be a lot more appealing to them."
The old Macy's building will be transformed into 3 levels of mixed use including a fitness club, a grocery store, and movie theater. The old Dillard's building will be torn down along with most of the mall. The entrance to The District at Crestwood would be a fountain plaza that can be turned off to host concerts and live events.
Taxpayer money is likely to be a part of the project and News 4 asked the mayor how much they're willing to contribute.
"The incentive topic did come up, just to be fair to everyone it is on the table," Schlink said. "But as of right now we don't have a total cost of the project, and we haven't talked about any specific numbers that would be tied to public money or TIF money."
Mayor Schlink says any TIF money would have to be approved by St. Louis County. The first phase of the project has an ambitious timetable. He says it's scheduled to open Summer of 2014.
Crestwood is planning town hall meetings to discuss the project and any possible public money.

Among these are major pieces of "light art," usually made by sculpting light in very large natural or industrial spaces. Switzerland's Hess Family Estates makes wine on four continents, and its chairman, Donald Hess, 77, is a longtime collector of Francis Bacon, Anselm Kiefer, and other important artists. But his newest gallery at the world's highest vineyard, at Colomé in Argentina, is dedicated to just one light artist: James Turrell.

The Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics offers undergraduate programs in civil engineering and engineering mechanics. Both are intended to prepare students with firm technical bases while nurturing decision-making and leadership potential.
The department offers graduate programs leading to the degree of Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). These programs are flexible and may involve concentrations in structures, construction engineering, reliability and random processes, soil mechanics, fluid mechanics, hydrogeology, continuum mechanics, finite element methods, computational mechanics, experimental mechanics, acoustics, vibrations and dynamics, earthquake engineering, or any combination thereof, such as fluid-structure interaction. The curriculum contains a sufficient number of elective courses to allow each student to concentrate in his or her area of interest. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required for admission to the department.
Ours is a relatively small department, with a ratio of undergraduate students to faculty of about 5 to 1. This small ratio allows us to pay close attention to our students individually and to guide their studies through personalized advising. We also encourage our students, whether graduate or undergraduate, to participate in research projects, whether these are already ongoing projects or suggested by the students themselves.
Our undergraduate curriculum requires 27 credit points of non-technical electives to be taken from Columbia College's famous Core Curriculum. We consider this strong emphasis on the humanities to be a prerequisite for the education of tomorrow's leaders.


text: Humanities courses are starting to be deeply influenced by a new array of powerful digital tools and vast online archives. Undergraduates are experiencing Shakespeare in 3-D: "'Until you get Shakespeare on its feet, you're doing it an injustice... 'The plays are in 3-D, not 2-D.' Many teachers and administrators are only beginning to figure out the contours of this emerging field of digital humanities, and how it should be taught. In the classroom, however, digitally savvy undergraduates are not just ready to adapt to the tools but also to explore how new media may alter the very process of reading, interpretation and analysis."

"In a time of such disconnection produced by our constant contact with technology and abrasive politics, working with JGPG gave my students an opportunity to tune into themselves in a new way, and more importantly, to tune into each other. Their work builds on human kindness and truly seeing one another."
– Jessy Kronenberg, Dance Program Director, El Cerrito High School
The Joe Goode Performance Group education program began in 2012 with the certainty that people of all ages have important and illuminating things to say, questions to ask, and ways to creatively contribute. JGPG offers its young community the opportunity to train with company members and create original dance theatre works using JGPG's innovative creative methodologies. We offer techniques that tune, align, and entrain the body to itself and its surroundings with the understanding that community building, empathy promotion, social awareness and engagement all start within ourselves in our immediate physical experience of being embodied. The JGPG youth programming is created to facilitate a vibrant, age appropriate learning experience guided by the following goals:
El Cerrito High School
El Cerrito, CA
JGPG began partnering with ECHS in 2015 with regular workshops focused ondance technique, partnering, voice, song, and word play to engage and enrich the creative process. In Fall 2016, JGPG led a performance development process that culminated a new work created by the students, performed at the ECHS dance concert. Click here to view our recent studio showing!
Lowell High School
San Francisco, CA
Oakland Technical High School

Yerba Buena High School
San Jose, CA
Treehouse (a program of the Jamestown Community Center)
San Francisco, CA
JGPG works with the 6th grade girls of Treehouse, a program which places at-risk youth into social support groups with caring, supportive adults. Students are introduced to the basic elements of dance as well as JGPG methods of combining text, song and movement to craft a shared story exploring themes of empathy, connection and personal creativity.
San Francisco Arts Education Project
Summer Intensive, July 10-14 2017
Inspired Bodies participants dance, sing and create. They surprise themselves with their own imaginations. Maybe they grow a tail or discover their superpowers, find their voice or color in their own stories. Guided and taught by JGPG company members and teaching artists, this workshop interweaves body and mind and activates the physical imagination. Students are encouraged in the creation of their own unique movement vocabulary as well as collaborative construction of dances. The explorations culminate in an informal performance at the end of the session. More info and registration at www.sfartsedsummer.org

Listen to this farewell song:
Slow melancholy-sweet ballad, about moving forward and making changes in your life and yourself:
"So farewell to the old me,
Farewell to the old me,
My life is working better now,
It's always changing anyhow..."
You might like:
Times of Your Life - Paul Anka
This is a very slow nostalgic ballad from the 70's, about when "you wake up and time has slipped away". Nostalgic, rather than sentimental.
Everybody's Changing - Keane
For those of you being left behind by someone you treasure.
The song is about making meaning of your place in the world while everyone else moves forward in their lives.
An atmospheric piano-rock and synthesiser song.
The Call - Regina Spektor
This pretty song featured in the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
The meaning has been described as about those you trust in difficult times, about going away to do what is right and just:
"Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye".
Restless Farewell - Bob Dylan
In this song Bob is looking back over a long life - a retrospective I Did It My Way - and accepts the choices made, for better or worse.
The song is apparently based on the based on the Irish folk song The Parting Glass, however, it has a more antisocial tone. Consider the difference of the final paragraph in his song:
"So I'll make my stand
And remain as I am
And bid farewell and not give a damn" (Dylan)
"Then fill to me the parting glass,
Good night and joy be with you all."(The Parting Glass)

There are a million ways for a talented filmmaker to run aground, but an overabundance of blanding sweetness isn't usually one of them. In the case of Alan Rudolph and "Made in Heaven," some kind of romantic ether seems to have seeped into his brain: He's fogbound, lost on a marshmallowy cloud.
"Made in Heaven" adds a new twist to the old romantic formula of boy meets girl: This time, it's "boy dies, meets girl." The movie's subject is that dream of all dreams: meeting your one true love, your soul mate. The story centers around a solid, small-town Pennsylvania man named Mike (Timothy Hutton), who has dreams of packing up his girlfriend, Brenda (Mare Winningham), and moving to California. But Mike isn't enough of an achiever for Brenda -- he's a little vague -- and she decides to marry another, more upwardly mobile suitor. Discouraged but undaunted, Mike sets out for California on his own. But before he's barely out of town, he attempts to rescue a young woman and her children whose car has plunged off a bridge and into a river. He saves them, but not himself. And when he comes to -- and the film's imagery changes from black and white to color -- he realizes he's no longer in Pennsylvania.
What follows is a life-after-death love story. Mike meets Annie (Kelly McGillis) and is an instant goner. There's a hitch, though. Annie, who wears Southern belle curls and sweet, pastelly frocks, is a "new soul," which means she's never been born. And just as the love affair is about to blossom, her time is up and she is drawn earthward to meet her destiny. Naturally, Mike feels gypped and visits Heaven's head man, Emmett (played in a suit and orangish crew cut by a chain-smoking Debra Winger) begging to be sent back to Earth. Emmett reluctantly agrees, but with one stipulation: The couple has only 30 years to find one another in this wide world. The odds are against them, but then what have odds got to do with love?
In films such as "Choose Me," "Songwriter" and "Trouble in Mind," Rudolph has established himself as the movies' prime architect of idiosyncratic romantic fables. He seems to want to pick up where French director Jacques Demy left off with "Lola" and "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg." But Rudolph doesn't have Demy's heart-sprung exuberance. In "Made in Heaven," he seems to be doing little more than cutting out valentines. The movie's all meringue. While there's something immensely likable about its spirit -- which is an odd combination of hipness and naivete' -- its energy is sapped by Rudolph's dewiness; he can't get any crackle into it.
Although Rudolph has assembled a sumptuous cast, there's not enough edge to the characters. And so it's refreshing when someone like Maureen Stapleton, who plays Mike's aunt, or Ellen Barkin, as a double-crossing vamp, shows up to burn off a little of the haze. Some of the other actors, too, throw off sparks. Winger's performance, in particular, has a streak of impudence and daring. (She plays Emmett as if he were the pit boss at Caesars Palace.) And her toughness is a nice counterpoint to Hutton's dreaminess.
Unfortunately, these bits stand out as random flashes. When you try to think back on the movie, it evaporates. After the couple return to Earth, Rudolph bogs them down in dreary modern-day dilemmas. On a number of occasions, their paths almost cross, but, as the clock runs down, they keep bouncing away from each other.
Most of what happens along the way is whimsical and gratuitous. All that matters, really, is that these two get together, and since this is never much in doubt, the movie loses tension.
Rudolph's willingness to believe in greeting-card dreams of happily-ever-after may be the movie's saving grace. It puts you in a forgiving mood. And it's refreshing, nowadays, not to have romance turned into a horror show. The movie's airiness wafts you along. It's a pleasant experience, but, in this case, not a particularly singular one.
Made in Heaven, at area theaters, is rated PG-13 and contains some suggestive material.

Team Babbitt's rider Jacob Hayes Becomes Winningest Rider of 2016
February 17, 2016
Irvine, CA – Round 6 of the AMSOIL Arenacross Championship kicked off in the Legacy Arena Saturday night with Team Babbitt's/Monster Energy®/AMSOIL Kawasaki looking to extend their points lead. Jacob Hayes wasted no time in Main Event 1 positioning himself out front after making the pass for the lead at the end of Lap 1 and quickly began pulling away from teammate Chris Blose in second. When the checkers flew it was Hayes with a dominating win by over three seconds with teammate Blose in tow. At the gate drop of Main Event 2, it was Team Babbitt's riders, Hayes and Blose coming around turn one in second and third respectively. Looking like a replay of Main Event 1, it wouldn't take long before Hayes made the pass for first place and started pulling away. 15 perfect laps would allow Hayes to go (1-1) for first overall and become the winningest rider in the Arenacross Class this season, with three overall wins and eight Main Event wins. Teammate Blose would have his issues in the early laps of the main, causing him to drop outside of a podium position to fifth, going (2-5) for fifth overall. After qualifying third out of his heat race and winning the Head-to-Head battle, Team Babbitt's Gavin Faith felt confident heading into the mains. Two poor starts in the Main Events hurt his chances of being on the podium and would settle for sixth overall with a score of (6-7).
"Birmingham went really well," said Blose. "I came into the weekend sick, so I knew it was going to be a struggle. I actually felt good riding, it was just hard to breathe because I was so congested. I ended up second in Main Event 1 behind Hayes and felt if I got a better start I could go for the overall win. In Main Event 2 I got out to a fourth place start and made a pass for third right away. I was closing in on second and ran over a tough block that was in the middle of the track and almost went down, losing two spots in the process. I made the pass back for fourth and was closing on third when a lap rider would not get out of the way. The flaggers didn't throw the blue flag for three laps, making it difficult to pass lapped riders, but I'm ready for redemption in Tampa!"
"I had a pretty rough weekend, " said Faith. "I qualified third, won the Head-to-Head race and got two bad starts in the Main Events. I struggled to come through the pack and didn't end up where I feel I belong. I'm ready to fight in Tampa."
"Started off the weekend well," said Hayes. "I was fastest in qualifying practice and lined up for the heat race confident. I didn't get off the gate like I wanted to, so I had to battle my way up to third and just felt like I rode really tight. I knew I had to put my head down and handle business in the mains. I lined up sixth gate pick in Main Event 1 and rounded the first turn in second, made a quick pass to the lead and rode a solid race from there. In Main Event 2 I rounded the first turn in second again, quickly made the pass for the lead on lap two and just kept is smooth and consistent every lap."

Courteney Cox Directs Foy Vance Music Video, Starring Daughter Coco - Watch Now!
Courteney Cox keeps it cool and casual as she strikes a pose at the premiere of Gleason held at the Regal LA Live Stadium 14 on Thursday (July 14) in Los Angeles.
The 52-year-old entertainer was joined by Odette and Dave Annable, Nick Cannon, Katie Aselton and her husband Mark Duplass, Jay Duplass, Courtney B. Vance, Melissa Bolona and Charlotte Ross at the event held in support of the documentary.
Courtney recently directed her 12-year-old daughter Coco in the brand new music video for Foy Vance's song "Coco," which was also inspired by her.
"Johnny [McDaid] brought Foy into my life a few years ago, and, immediately, he became a very close friend. He also got to know my daughter, Coco, and a song was born," Courtney told People.
"From the first time Foy played 'Coco' for me – and every time I've heard it since – I've felt he captured, not only Coco's unique personality but also the beautiful childhood innocence that sadly, but inevitably, fades with time," Courtney added. "It is like a snapshot of the world as seen through a child's eyes … sung by a man who is moved by how the world seems from her perspective. I think it's a perspective that we, as adults, never stop longing for."

Laurent, the owner
The location is phenomenal!!! The owner was SO attentive to any questions that we had. The apartment is in an older building, but has been upgraded as much as possible. The patio was a nice addition. Overall, a very nice stay.
Good location, easy to find. Quite small for our group but clean and well - maintained apartment.
The manager replied quickly, very helpful for us.
Good location, property is as shown. Negative rating due to management. My flight was delayed due to a sick passenger, we returned to the gate just prior to taking off. Immediately upon arrival, I had a bilingual agent speak with the manager & explain the circumstance. I was told to call back when we arrived at the apartment. Upon arrival, I was informed it would be 5 hours until I could gain access. Worst yet was the manager yelling and speaking to someone else during my call while we tried to navigate the language barrier. Finally, they arrived after more than 5 hours and were most unwelcoming. Management must consider that travellers, particularly international ones, may encounter delays. They should fire the help, the rudest people I have ever encountered in the hospitality business. I have used this service & ones like it for the pass several years, this is my only negative review
Great flat with easy access to all of the major sights in Paris! Easily accommodated my husband and I, plus our two young daughters.
Appartement 5 étoiles au niveau de la situation. Vraiment a quelques minutes des champs Élysées .metro facile . Proprietaire disponible par mail et téléphone. La dame qui nous a accueillis etait très sympa et très souple au niveau des horaires. Literie propre et confortable. Points negatifs: si on reste longtemps le bruit des voisins qui marchent au dessus peut vite devenir dérangeant la nuit. L' appartement est plus petit qu'il n'y paraît sur les photos ( mais logeable quand même. Nous étions 5 mais juste pour une nuit). L'ensemble pourrait être plus accueillant : rideaux aux fenêtres, ampoule manquante dans la cuisine, restes de nourriture laissés par les locataires précédents.. bref rapport qualité prix correct pour un très court sejour.
Location très propre et idéalement située. Accueil agréable.
The apartment is ideally located in Paris between the Rue de l'Etoile, the Place des Ternes and Place de l'Etoile, only 2 mm from the Arc de Triomphe, its wide avenues with 8 Champs-Élysées, only 15 minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower.
100m around, you will find the famous bakeries Eric Kaiser and Paul, the Monoprix supermarket, a multitude of diverse and varied restaurants, Poncet market (see photo) with the best cheese in Paris, trendy bars (eg the Mojito), the Palace of Congress with its panoramic bar 10 mm walk ...
On the practical side, it is also within 100m you will find all the banks (ATM), post office, pharmacies, bars / tobacco, Fnac, Darty, Decathlon, a laundromat, 3 telephone operators and many clothing and shoe stores (Avenue des Ternes and Avenue de Wagram) ...

CISD's Bradley, Stockton named Drum Majors at MLK celebration
A pair of Montgomery County residents whose contributions to the community extend far beyond their years with the Conroe Independent School District were honored at the annual celebration paying tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Retired teacher Lucille Mims Johnson Bradley and CISD Superintendent Don Stockton were named Drum Majors at the 25th annual commemorative celebration honoring King's legacy. The event was hosted by Impact Church of The Woodlands.
"The term Drum Major comes from a sermon delivered by Dr. King more than 50 years ago," said Roche Coleman, senior pastor of Impact Church. "It is an honor bestowed on one who has done great work for the community as a whole."
In the sermon, King acknowledges a desire to lead but emphasizes selfless motives - "If you want to say I was a drum major, say I was a drum major for justice; say that I was a drum major for peace; I was a drum major for righteousness. We all have the drum major instinct."
Bradley, 99, has been a resident of Conroe for more than 90 years and taught at CISD schools for more than 30 years. Coleman said Bradley touched the lives of generations of local residents and was known as an inspiration in and out of the classroom.
Roche praised Stockton for his community service and his selfless effort to assist a wide range of causes throughout Montgomery County. Both drum majors received a standing ovation when they were named.
Musical presentations were made by the Children's Mass King Choir, directed by Sharonda Whorton; the Special Needs Ministry Choir, directed by Chris Robbins; and by The Woodlands Area Mass King Choir, directed by Don Barrick and Elijah Hill.
The featured speaker, paying tribute to King, was Dr. Paul Cannings, senior pastor at the Living Word Fellowship Church in Houston.
"We all have struggles and crosses to bear in our lives," Cannings said. "It is important to rise above the challenges and temptations. We know what is right - and that is what we should do, for the sake of ourselves as well as others."
Proceeds from the annual event go toward scholarships for area students. Winners in the 2013 essay contest were Lauren Davis, who will attend The University of Texas; Austin Bell, headed to Blinn College; Dominique Dixon, University of Alabama; Zachary Wooldridge, Texas A&M; Toni Mpagi, Boston College; and Kolbi Brown, Princeton.
Winners in the 2013 poster contest were Jaiden Brisco, a kindergartner at Rubicon Academy; Daniela Moffin, a first-grader at Hailey Elementary; Ryan Hezen, a third-grader at Powell Elementary; and Asher Coye-Huhn, a fourth-grader at Barbara Bush Elementary.
The first-place winner, Hunter James Hernandez, of Hailey Elementary, will have his design used for the T-shirt worn by the 2014 Dr. King Children's Choir.

A textbook on how to write crime fiction-brilliant
It would be enough if this were simply a great character-drive novel. However, as compelling as this is for three-fourths of the book, as the climax nears Pelecanos just keeps building and building. You won't be able to stop listening once that final 90 minutes kicks in. Suckerman was also great. I hope the turn the other two books in the series into audio soon.
This was some kind of ride.

Not sure how he does it...
This is crime fiction where the crimes are incidental. In other words, this is literature loosely based around some wrongdoing. The fact that these books are character driven is the key; the fact that that character is Jack Taylor is immense. Highly literate, funny, daring, rightgeous and usually pissed, JT is great company.
On to book 3.

Tour de force by Bellow and narrator, Joe Barrett
Funny, ironic, sad and packed with philosophical musings, this book is a tour de force. No other way to put it. One of those books you can't imagine how it was conceived nor how it was written. Just amazing. Joe Barrett brings it all to life. Could be the best narration I've experienced. Very enjoyable. Bellow is amazing.

Emerson was a fascinating individual, and this biography details his life and thinking in ways that are compelling. I was sorry when it was over.
Richardson also goes into great detail about Emerson's sources, and parses his essays and books, delves into his relationships and gives us a full portrait of the man.
A great biography. No wonder it is the standard in Emerson studies.

Great stories from a true master
If you don't know the work of William Trevor, this is a great place to start. His attention to character and detail are first rate, and his plotting is always subtle, endings that will stay with you long afterward. Meanwhile, the writing is beautiful, but at the same time economical. A veritable lesson on the craft can be found in each of these stories.
There are many I re-listened to immediately. He's that good.

Masterful, start to finish
A compelling true crime tale is nothing unless it's told with the proper organization, discriminating and orderly presentation of details and all sculpted into a story arc. "Helter Skelter" sets the bar in each of these areas.
I read this book as a teen and it stuck with me these thirty-plus years. Seeing it on audio, I was wondering if I would be interested in giving it thirty hours of my life. Man, I'm glad I did.
It was so intense, at times I thought I'd have to stop listening. It gets in your head a bit. By turns, this book is horrifying, fascinating, sad, edifying and, ultimately a history lesson on crime in America, the 1960s, cults and the judicial system, not to mention Manson and his Family..
I can't recommend it highly enough. Just don't listen in the dark.
