Rebels pull out SO win over Permian
Published 6:52 pm, Tuesday, February 15, 2011
ODESSA — Entering Tuesday's game at Odessa Permian, Lee coach Scott Hicks discussed the importance of earning points any way possible.
Against the Panthers, the Rebels had to sweat out a shootout before earning two points in a 2-1 victory at Ratliff Stadium. It was Lee's first shootout of the District 3-5A season and it moved the Rebels (6-6-2, 2-0-1-0) into a first place tie with Permian (5-8-1, 2-0-0-2), both with eight points in the district.
Down 1-0 at the half, Lee evened the score on a Jakab Marquez goal, assisted by Keagan Davis in the 60th minute. From there the score remained level, sending the teams to a shootout.
In the shootout, Lee outshot Permian, 3-2, on goals from Colyn Moore, Brandon Estrada and Davis. Hicks was ecstatic at his team's ability to respond in a pressure situation.
"I'm proud of the way our guys played," Hicks said. "We were down 1-0 at halftime, but they fought to get back in the game. It got to what we'd been talking about — we just need to keep getting points, even if it's in a shootout. We'll take them any way we can get them and I couldn't be more proud of how my team fought today."
Lee returns home to play host to Abilene Cooper at 2 p.m. Saturday at Grande Communications Stadium.

Always using UTF-8 is such a > best practice. I agree that it possible to come to the conclusion that Polyglot Markup should be based on UTF-8 from two angles: We can say that this is a spec of its own, and, based on that - say that we decide the spec rules. Or we can treat Polyglot Markup as a best practice document, and rule that UTF-8 is the best practice. (We then also make polyglot syntax as such as a kind of best practice, too, I think.) My attitude when filing bugs etc against Polyglot Markup, has been more or less based on what Henri described in a bug comment - from memory: Polyglot Markup should be a common denominator of the XML spec and the HTML spec. And I find no reason for forbidding UTF-16 in Polyglot Markup whether in the XML and HTML5 specs. But even if we say that "we decide the rules", I still think that Polyglot Markup needs some additional principle in order to justify UTF-8 as the sole encoding. From memory, HTML5's recommendation of UTF-8 is related to URLs and form handling. And those are also, I guess, reasons for preferring UTF-8 in a XHTML document - the consequences of an invalid character in XHTML are only more draconian than they are in HTML ... Else the issue is the same. I could think of the following justification, then: Due to the often more draconian consequences of malformed characters in XHTML, it is recommended/required to use UTF-8, as UTF-8 diminishes chances for malformed characters in forms etc. In other words: in order to be more compatible with HTML, then a polyglot served/parsed as XHTML needs to be served as UTF-8, to diminish the possibility that a polyglot parsed as XHTML becomes more inaccessible (due to malformed forms input) than the same polyglot would be when parsed as HTML. Does this make sense to anyone? -- leif h silliReceived on Thursday, 15 July 2010 19:59:18 UTC

Blue Marble Seashell Cake
Idea gallery #1152
Ingredients and Supplies
5", 7" and 9" cake
blue fondant
super white candy coating
blue marble transfer sheet
white fondant seashells
white buttercream
piping gel
ultra white sparkle dust
Pin It
Cover each tier with blue fondant. Cover top of 12" board with blue fondant, brush board with piping gel to help fondant stick to board. Stack cake offset to the back using your preferred stacking method. Cut the chocolate transfer sheet in a strip long enough to fit around each cake. You may need to tape strips together to make it long enough-- tape smooth sides. The strips should then but cut to the height of the cake. Place the cut transfer strip on top of a silicone mat, or parchment paper, raised side up. Place the thin size perfection strips on both sides of the transfer sheet. Pour melted super white coating over half of the transfer sheet, spreading it to nearly the edge. Use a cookie sheet with a straight edge and drag over the perfection strips - these strips allow for consistent thickness. Quickly lift the transfer sheet with the wet chocolate onto a clean area of the parchment paper to give the chocolate piece a clean edge. Allow to set up until it is almost set (generally 5-10 minutes). Don't let it set too long, or it will crack when you try to put it around the cake. Quickly pick up the strip and put around the cake. Let set for 20-30 minutes. Remove transfer sheet. Repeat with other tiers. Use white buttercream with #4 tip to pipe ball trim along top and bottom edge of each tier and along top edge of board. Dust seashells with ultra white sparkle dust and place on cake, use a dot of buttercream to help secure shells.

Country legend Lonnie Melvin ("Mel") Tillis died this morning in Ocala, Florida, Entertainment Weekly reports. According to a statement made by his publicist, the musician battled intestinal issues and reportedly suffered respiratory failure.
Known for iconic songs like "Coca-Cola Cowboy" and "I Ain't Never," Tillis is a Country Music Hall of Famer who was awarded "Entertainer of the Year" at the 1976 CMA Awards. He was also recognized by President Barack Obama in 2012, receiving the National Medal of Arts for his country music contributions.
Tillis was 85 years old and is survived by his partner Kathy DeMonaco and six kids.

Exactly.....and no one is forcing me to use Chinese or Taiwanese products. I have the choice to use whatever I wish and if I'm so paranoid to think that the Chinese government is interested in what I happen to be doing on my computer, then I can buy products made elsewhere.
Cuba's homegrown OS will be just another tool that the government there will use to spy on and control it's citizens. They won't have a choice. They'll be forced to use "CubaOS" and have the DGI (Directorate General of Intelligence) watching everything they do on a PC.
No, I choose to buy their products based on the fair market value. Which I might add, enables their workers to earn a living and pursue a better life. Cuba's economy is closed and not even China requires their citizens to use a state designed operating system(aka spyware). They can use Linux or whatever......

Kaleidoscope Eyes
I give up for now. I have been in anything but a serious mood. BAH! And I Remember Pink is at such a serious part right now. You guys will not be disappointed that I waited, I swear. And to thoroughly enjoy this, you have to listen to Panic! At The Disco!'s lovely song, 'She Held the World' while reading.
Now, enjoy this little fluff. I demand reviews, dang it!
She spun the stars on her fingernails,
But it never made her happy,
Cause she couldn't ever have me.
Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.
The mantra was not working. No matter how many times she repeated the word her brain mutinously decided to keep sputtering on about pointless little things.
Like a mismatched stare that had trailed fire from her toes to her hair before meeting her eyes. Like a hidden smirk behind a dark blue barrier and a finger placed teasingly in front of her mouth. Like a silver shining head tilting so minutely towards hers and whispering rebellious nothings into the night sky. Like the smooth run of a hand through her candy locks before a smile and a hasty good bye. Like the poof of a fantasy into the dreamless stars.
She was losing her mind to her evasive teacher. Twisting and turning, dressing and undressing, sitting and laying. No matter what she did only the boring sight of beige walls and cluttered mess refused to distract her attentions. The morning had already peaked its ugly head over the distant trees by the time she had just dozed into a moments rest. Luck flew from her window as a sweetly soft knock jolted her instantly wide awake. With a growl and a grumble she crashed over to the door and stared intently at it without any intentions to turn the knob.
"Go away." Silence. "Hello?" More silence. A prank, maybe? Swinging aside her nuisance she found only empty space to greet her. Surprise and irritation battled in her mind before she glanced down to see the envelope laying flat against the carpet. In cramped, scribbled writing it said 'Catch me'. It had been left unsealed with a sloppy smile-y face drawn across the flap. She was obviously meant to open it. Of course.
Inside was a very plain looking piece of paper folded in half. Written in the same cramped letters 'To receive your prize:'. Once she unfolded the mysterious little note she saw a set of instructions. A quick scan told her exactly who her prankster was. Only one person would dare to ask these things of her. And besides, number four was just too obvious. But… what was her prize? And what did he mean to catch him? She would never find out, of course. She was way above such childish games. She had so many adult things to do today. It was never easy to make medic history. And number one would definitely not allow her to make medic history. Especially not if she actually did do number four. Or number two, for that matter. So, of course, she was not doing this.
Of course.
With a scowl, Sakura stared back down at the paper. Prize…?
Number one, Call into work. You'll be much too busy for work.
Tsunade was not going to be happy about this, at all. There was so much she had to do today. Nevertheless, the phone was in her hand and the numbers were being dialed ever so slowly. She could just as easily hang up the phone. Nobody would know that a perfectly healthy Sakura Haruno had been just moments away from calling into her entirely dangerous and important job over a note. Nobody. She pushed the green lighted 'call' and felt her hopes dwindle to none. She was seriously going to go through with this nonsense. For the life of her she could not thinkadmit why.
Ring, Ring, Ring.
"Hello, Tsunade?" Nope. "Oh, Shizune! Hey. I can't come into work today…" Disbelief was clearly evident on the other line. "I know Shizune, I know. I can definitely be there tomorrow…" She winced as Tsunade yanked the phone from Shizune and yelled into the speaker. "I know, Tsunade, there's a lot to be done. What do you mean you know what's going on? Look, I don't have any ulterior motives, I just can't come into work today. You can't fire me Tsunade, you'd never be able to find your sake." Pause. "Ok, I'll see you tomorrow."
Well, that was a lot of a ridiculous waste of time. What was next? She opened the letter again and rolled her eyes. He did not think that this was even possibly going to embarrass her did he?
Number two, brush your teeth (not your hair) and walk outside until you find your clothes. Don't change out of your pajamas.
Luckily she was wearing something modest. She quickly and thoroughly ran her toothbrush over her pearly whites and headed out the door. How was she supposed to find her clothes anyway? How had he gotten into her apartment to get them? What if she spent all day trying to find something to wear besides sleepwear and then did not get the chance to finish all the other instructions? Would he not give her the prize? Why did she want a prize so bad when she did not even know what it was?
She was still pondering this question when she happened to glance up at a something different that managed to catch her eye. For a long moment she scanned the horizon, knowing that something had seemed entirely off. Suddenly she saw it. Bright, and swinging from the fourth Hokage's nostril, was a fabric flailing desperately in the wind. The red was an undistinguishable blob in the distance but she knew it was what he meant for her to shimmy into. After she managed to get there, of course. She would have to walk all the way through Konoha, in her pajamas, after pretending to be too sick for work. How cruel.
Curious eyes watched her walk as inconspicuously as possible through town and towards the monument. It was not an unfamiliar path at all. Many times after sparring or after missions, the team had climbed to the top of the towering heads to relax and talk. Walking it was much different, though, when people were staring at her and snickering slightly to their selves. In the beginning it bothered her, though she would probably never admit it to her torturer. Before long, however, it occurred to her that they were the ones acting immature. Had they never seen someone in a pair of pajamas? Had they never seen someone with unkempt hair? Just because she was the Hokage's apprentice did not mean she slept in full gear. She was only human after all.
After the wizening realization she strode much more confidently up to the trail that would take her all the way to the edge of the first Hokage's headband and lead her more or less to Tsunade's stone carved nose. He could not have put it on a bench, or the bridge, or even the office, could he have? No, he had to hang it from the side of a mountain. Leave it to the Hatake to make things complicated.
She had just climbed her way to the right carving and wound the fabric up and into her hands when she noticed that the scarlet something had been a scarlet dress. It was not revealing or fancy, just a red summer dress. Though there was no price tag, she was sure he had bought it for her. There had definitely not been any brightly colored sundresses in her closet full of white nurse uniforms and black ANBU gear. A light dusting of pink adorned her cheeks as she imagined him picking her out a dress from a Konoha shop. Did the owner wonder who it was for? Had he told them what he planned with it?
Having finally completed her second command, she checked for number three.
Number three, hide and change. Once you have put on your new outfit, turn around and look down.
Private hiding areas were not easy to come by when she stood on a smooth surface of rock formation, but she was a kunoichi and she would manage. A quick glance around and a little bit of climbing later she stood behind a wide tree trunk to strip. If Jaraiya were here, she'd probably end up a page in some smutty novel. She shuddered at the thought as she slipped her training skirt down her hips and let it fall silently to the dirt. In only moments she was wearing her new dress comfortably and looking around the grass for the bright orange she knew would be laying around somewhere. It was only feet from her, supporting a little scarecrow doll. How… Unlike him. She checked the little toy for any hidden attachments and found that it was truly only a doll.
She picked up the Icha Icha book and flipped it open. There was no reason to look at number four. It had embarrassed her so badly that it still held the spotlight in her memory.
Number four, walk through town to the hair salon whilst reading Icha Icha out loud continuously. No cheating.
It would not just be down the block. The hair shop was all the way on the opposite side of town. And she was going to be forced to read that pornography out loud. What if there were kids around? She climbed down the mountain and pulled the little novel up to her face and skimmed over the first few lines. Nothing too bad, not yet.
"The scarred old ninja could not find it in himself to hold her age against her. Their love had spanned across generations to complete the distorted holes that had formed in their own lives over time. Many hardening battles had taught them to trust what they had never understood before. As he lay weakened from fight…" And surprisingly, as she got engrossed in the strangely romantic and deep story, she found herself standing at the door of the salon without even realizing she had walked hardly anywhere. The story had dragged her in kicking and screaming with its tale of a sweet young kunoichi and scarred old hero having scraped barely through the tightened claws of death to discover their love for each other. She had just reached the first physical scene as she found the door and was sad to have to put the book away. Quickly dog earring the page, she pushed past the glass opening and walked up to the counter. With any luck, she would be in and out of here in a flash. Girly things like salons and dresses had become things of the past long ago. It was strange to walk in now with a hairdresser looking irritably at her from behind a swiveling chair.
"You're several hours late. He assured me you'd come, but punctuality would have been nice." A scathing glare almost made Sakura walk away. "Of course, coming from him, that's not at all surprising. Get over here, I need to fix that mess." And with grim features the roseate haired ninja settled into the shining black seat with all the eagerness of a criminal to be hanged.
She felt her tension ease away as the angry woman ran cool water over her hair and massaged her temple with gentle fingers. A girly, sweet scented shampoo filled her nose with nostalgic memories of days before perfume was a weakness and shining, shimmering locks was her greatest goal. Once the soap was thoroughly lathered through each strand she knew she was hooked onto this lovely old indulgence. For just today, she would be any other female that allowed herself such pleasures. Tomorrow she would probably be chastised for it by Tsunade, possibly even Kakashi himself, but that was tomorrow and she will have gotten over this madness by then.
"He said I should ask you before I cut. Apparently he knows how you are about your hair. So, do you trust him?" A skeptical eyebrow raised in her direction and she pondered for a moment. She had never really talked to Kakashi about things like hair and make up and all that goodness. When life was entirely filled with blood, gore, and death it was easy to forget other things existed. But the dress was nice. It matched well with her hair and was not too classy or too skimpy. He had always dressed himself well and while his hair was messy, it was always nicely so.
"Sure, I trust him. We'll see how this goes." And with rapt attention to the mirror in front of her, Sakura watched the woman lift scissors to her hair and cut away. She didn't remove much length, but bangs found refuge around her face and layers added style to an otherwise formless mass of pink. Once it was dried and fixed, Sakura found it was the most lovely look she had worn in years. Her stylist continued her ministrations on Sakura's appearance with light colored eye shadow and clear lip gloss. The palette really only highlighted the brightness of her eyes and the suppleness of her lips with a subtlety that suited her tastes. Kakashi had fashion sense, it appeared.
"He says I should tell you to follow instructions and that you're all prepared now. And he's already paid." And although Sakura was sure she heard something along the lines of 'lousy tipper' muttered into the still air, the woman's face was triumphant. "Now, go on pretty thing, and show off my good work."
Onto the next step.
Number five: Go to Ukyo's Okinomiyaki and tell her you have an order for Scarecrow. Don't worry, it's not a menu item.
She had never even been to that part of town. It was not a particularly bad part, but also not particularly good either. Ukyo had introduced herself a few times to people in Tsunade's circle. Her and her husband Ryoga had nearly as bad of luck at gambling and basically everything else as Tsunade, but apparently those of Konoha were not good at moderation. Business was always booming at Ukyo's Okinomiyaki fortunately. It seemed that anyone who was not a particular fan of ramen preferred this pizza pancake concoction. Tenzou swore by it, on several occasions. Due to Naruto's love of all things ramen, they had never found out if the place was as good as he said. Now it must be her chance.
She strolled easily through downtown and into the little corner that stood between nice and trashy. Her cute dress and classy new do seemed strange in this place where everyone was dressed almost too casual. Short shorts and tight and tiny tank tops bordered on sensual around her, making her feel markedly innocent. Yet, with all those slinky outfits buzzing around her she found many gazes lingering on her and the sweetheart top of red that clung snugly to her breasts and to her hips that swayed naturally with each step. A shy smile met many vultures' grins and it was with relief that she shoved through the entrance to Ukyo's restaurant. Instantly an unusual, slightly obnoxious accent hit her.
"Hey, honey! He said you'd be right by. Your order is all ready here. Under scarecrow, right? You look gorgeous! Got fixed up real nice for your honey, didn't you?" The pleasant dark haired lady was pushing a cute little to go basket into her arms and smiling happily at her. "Hurry now, you don't want to be late! He has just the best surprise planned out for you. My Ryoga tried to do something like this once but he got lost, of course." And just like that she was kicked out of her refuge and back into the world of wolves. What to do now?
Shuffling her package around, she pulled the letter out again.
Number Six. By now I bet you're getting tired. The sun should be getting right about ready to go down, so head out by the training field we always spar at. A guide will greet you there.
A guide? Why did she need a guide? This was going to be interesting.
Her legs were starting to hurt from all the walking and climbing and running she had been doing today. This would be her third trek across town in such a short time span. She was used to walking through trees and tough terrain for days at a time but never for something so insubstantial as an unknown present from an elusive shadow of a teacher. Hunger was gnawing mercilessly at her stomach. Though she was glad she looked gorgeous enough to elicit prolonged glances and Ukyo's quick compliments, the dress and make up and hair style were not at all comfortable for such an active day. She was ready to rest.
With slow and steady steps she reached the field her and Kakashi had so many times before destroyed. Sitting lazily near the trees was Pakkun. A little pink tongue licked his paw absentmindedly as he stared at her and waited for her to come closer.
"Don't worry, it's just a short walk to meet him." He could tell from the irritation on her face that she was weary of being led all around town. His eternally smiling expression lightened her heart just slightly and led her into the trees behind him.
He was right, it was really only a short walk. It was a simple clearing she had always been aware of, but hardly every paid attention to. And now it was alive. Candles sat all over in strange places and flowers of purple and blue scattered across the floor in a beautiful display. The sun was just setting to darken the space into a more aesthetically pleasing ambience. Crickets and other insects seemed content to chirp out a mournfully slow off tune. With the sunset backdrop the scene was breathtaking. And yet, it was missing an important element that marred her moment of perfect surprise. She had been promised to meet him here. She had been dolled up and tired out all day long only to find he was missing in action. Calling in to work to be disappointed was not at all what she had expected.
A large checkered blanket had been laid out in the middle of everything with a happy looking picnic basket sitting unopened atop it. Carefully, as gracefully as she could manage, she sat down and waited. He would show up eventually, she knew it. Knowing him, he was late for his own plan. The long day of no sleep and running through town on the whims of the written word wore down on her. Her eyelids drooped as she stifled a long yawn behind her palm. Just as the sun finally slipped under the cover of the horizon she dozed off into a light slumber with barely spun dreams.
Several hours after she had nodded off a sly man crept to her little sleeping form. His silver hair gleamed brightly in the moonlight as he crouched over her. She looked so innocent at this moment. It was hard to imagine the beating he was going to get once he woke her up.
"Sakura…" A timid whisper, at first. His only answer was a snore. How ladylike. "Sakura, wake up." Poking may work? "Sakura…" And finally sleepy green eyes blinked up at him. The anger hadn't settled in yet.
"Kakashi?" Her voice was slow and sweet with her heavy laden slumber. He grinned at her and wondered if she would noticed the enamel shining unhindered at her.
"That's what they call me, among other things." Laughter just barely hid beneath his voice. He had expected her to be tired, yes, but he had not expected to show up to find her dozing quietly on his picnic blanket. The fiery fury of being metaphorically dragged around town cleared the fog from her gaze and he dodged a sloppily thrown punch to his face. She hadn't noticed yet.
"You are late! You are late for your own extremely confounded plan you jerk!" The lip gloss reflected the dimly burning candle light and grabbed his attention. How difficult it was to pay attention to her anger when he had dressed her up so nicely.
"Well, since it was my plan, I'd say I'm more than likely not late, but you may be early." She wasn't, but he could say whatever he wanted. He had set all this up, after all.
"You even said in your note about the time I'd be heading to this place!" He winced. He had, hadn't he? Oops.
"I planned for you to be early. You're missing the point, Sakura." He watched for the first time as she really looked at him.
"Oh." Hungry eyes roamed across his face and back over again, gazing over all his features as though it was the first thing she had ever seen.
The stars twinkled in the red and black in his eye to light a mischievous spirit beyond the lazy look she had always known. His jaw was strong and his cheeks high and his nose was just slightly crooked. All the wit and charm and confidence that had boomed from his voice seemed amplified in the grin on his face that showed straight pearly whites. Most likely he wouldn't be the most attractive man Sakura had ever seen, but he certainly was going to remain up in the top ten. And honestly, she wasn't sure she cared if others were more handsome. How many others would plan this whole ordeal out just to show her their face?
"Nice." It seemed so understated of a compliment but she couldn't really think of anything else to say. Personal space was happily ignored as he smoothly placed himself nearly flush against her.
"I'm glad you think so. I worked very hard on it." Low, gravelly words were lost on her ears. Just the feel of his voice wrapping around her and the vibration of it in his chest against her skin sent her mind away.
"You owe me." He had promised, of course. So he did owe her. He had kept her awake all night tossing and turning from his teasing.
"I do, don't I?" A smile lifted his lips and she felt her heart flutter quickly. It was like him to dangle what she wanted so artfully in front of her. "And what, pray tell, do I owe you?"
She paused for a moment. What was the game? "A kiss."
"What kind of kiss?" He was grinning again and she felt his thin fingers embrace hers.
"…A goodbye kiss." So, did he plan to leave again?
"Are you trying to run me away so fast?" His arm had wrapped around her waist as he swayed to some unknown melody in a slow dance.
"I'm sure you don't want to mess up on your promise kiss. You can practice some if you'd like." Resting her head against his chest, she attempted to avoid his gaze as much as possible. She was nearly as red as her dress at her suggestion. She could feel his amused stare pressing down on her new hair cut. "Thanks, by the way, for pampering me today. I was a little surprised."
"Well, I figured you needed it. All that stressful work, and then no sleep last night. Plus that awful person waking you up."
"You wouldn't know anything about that would you?" Playful banter was such an interesting part of their relationship. After almost a year now, he had yet to kiss her full on the lips. He had assured her last night that he would give her one, full out lip to lip contact. And here he was to do so.
"Not at all. Sadly, I've never been able to wake you up before." Any moment now it would be perfect. She hadn't received her true present yet.
"And you won't, either. Not until-"
"Marriage, yeah. About that." And he dropped heavily to one knee. It was the closest to a bow he had ever come.
"Kakashi…" Her eyes were already glittering with unshed tears.
"Miss Sakura Haruno, ninja, ANBU, medic. You have been consistently stealing my heart for a good year now. I am a scarred and broken old man but I was wondering if you wouldn't mind marrying me so I can wake you up properly every morning for the rest of our lives?" He had gotten a ring true to his character. It was a gemless, intricately designed band of white gold and carved jade.
"Kakashi…" With a loose grip she dragged him to standing again and kissed him for that first time on the mouth and it was a glorious experience. "Why?"
"Sakura, we're ninja. We could die tomorrow. Why wait?" He grinned down at her and leaned close to her ear. "Besides, I got you all dolled up, I couldn't hardly resist." He nuzzled her neck and felt her nearly purr at his mouth moving down to her collar bone.
Neither of them were innocent and both had been greatly surprised to find that after so long of depending on each other they had fallen into a slow and easy relationship that far preceded that of ex student and teacher. Knowing that people would not approve, they had kept it silent from the general public. Only Tsunade and a few close friends knew and understood the reality of their decision to finally go at the world together instead of alone. Because of the secrecy and they taboo nature of their relationship they had always been careful to stray far from the realms of sexual desires and had instead simply been content with each others company. Sakura had been the first one to voice the rule and it's answer by announcing that only if they were married would she allow him near her bed, because the world could not sway her from being one with her husband. He had gotten the hint, but drawing things out was always much more fun.
And this was how they ended up here, spending the night in a forest as they danced to unheard music and ate simple foods in his simple paradise he had built.
They would have the rest of their lives to deal with his tragedies and her terrors, but today was their engagement and they would enjoy each other as thoroughly as possible.
I had to do this. I always see the after the wedding, the wedding, or their happily ever after. I even see stories where they're dating. But you just about never see a story where he proposes.
Review, pretty please?

Open Letter to New Veterinary School Graduates
Congratulations! You made it through four hard, epically hard, years of veterinary school. You crammed, pulled all-nighters, learned many new skills, passed your boards, and survived job interviews. And here you are, ready to spread your wings and wear the title of Veterinarian.
Here are some pointers from a veteran to you newbies:
Savor the Ride
You've done so much work toward getting your veterinary degree. In the final weeks before you graduate and begin working, take a walk down memory lane. It's hard to enjoy veterinary school while you are in it. Say goodbye to your favorite clinicians and technicians, enjoy time with your classmates. You never get this time back. And believe it or not, you will develop sentimental feelings. If not now, they will show up a few years out. Perhaps the hard labor of veterinary school equates to child birth – an oxytocin surge allows you to forget the pain and remember the fun!
Find the Right Job
Some practice owners don't want to mentor. Mentorship is critical for a new graduate. But, it's not enough that someone is willing to teach you. You need to make sure that new employer's ideals and ethics jive with your own. One mistake I made was taking a position where it was routine to keep patients overnight without care. I compromised my ideals because I was an insecure new grad and regretted it multiple times during my tenure there. Have you considered what type of salary, hours, on-call, and tech support you'll have? Will you have a good quality of life there?
Take Time Off
Unless you are scraping by financially and need to start work immediately following graduation, do yourself favor and take some time off after graduation. You have the rest of your life to work and once you are in a contract taking a large lump of time off for yourself won't happen. Travel, take a staycation, reconnect with loved ones – you will never regret it.
Know It's Normal to Want to Run
You'll pull up to your new practice on that first day of work and, more than likely, have emotions ranging from nausea to panic. Suddenly transforming from the student to the expert is scary. You're not alone. We all did it and understand. But don't run. You need to pay off those student loans.
Student Loans
Put them on direct debit and forget them. If you are lucky enough have extra cash laying around, pay those loans down sooner. But realize that car payments, mortgages, child expenses, and the unexpected will make that hard to do. Don't stress over them and never, ever, look at the total balance.
Ok, just kidding about that last part. Kind of.
Don't Expect Perfection…Ever.
The learning curve for a new grad is steep. So many veterinary students and veterinarians have Type A personalities: We expect perfection in ourselves and are very hard on ourselves when we don't achieve it. You are going to ask a lot of questions, forget the dosing for amoxicillin, and bury your nose in the 5 minute Vet consult during your lunch. You will misdiagnose patients. You will offend clients. People will say mean things to you and about you. This is part of the professional pill that's toughest to swallow.
You will never be perfect, no matter how many years in practice. Start your career off knowing that to err is veterinarian. Welcome to the best profession in the world!

By the way, Richard Kiel (MST3000 - Eegah!) is in it somewhere, and it's set in the far-off future year of 1980 ...
Prologue: Mike and the 'bots have an "Andy Rooney-off", pitting their respective Andy Rooney imitations against each other. In the end, no one wins - in fact, we all pay dearly.
Segment One: Down in Castle Forrester, Pearl, Observer, and Bobo unpack the Doomsday Machine they ordered from Spiegel. Turns out it requires some assembly. The radioactive core of the device accidentally gets sent to the SOL, where Servo and Crow want to keep it as a pet.
Segment Two: Servo tries to take the advice of the doomed astronaut in the movie, and fix his attention on "the good and the beautiful". He does this by staring at various combinations of delicious food items and photographs of sexy starlets, thereby missing the point entirely, as Servo is want to do.
Segment Three: On the SOL, Mike takes a space walk and Crow forgets to reel him back in.
Down in Castle Forrester, Pearl and Observer continue struggling to put the Doomdsay Device together. They hear ghastly, ghostly noises echoing through the halls and get all scared. And -- what do you know! - it turns out to be Bobo yawning and accidentally dragging a chain around.
Segment Four: Inspired by the look of the planet's control panels in the movie, Crow and Servo set up an array of water glasses and practice playing. Mike innocently shows them up with his virtuoso playing, temporarily upsetting the 'bots, what with their fragile self-esteem.
Segment Five: Crow dresses as a Solarite from the movie, sending him into a spiral of existential doubt about what he really is all about.
On Earth, Pearl has despaired of ever finishing the device, and her confidence as an evil world conqueror is shaken. But she's cheered by a mob of villagers apparently storming the castle - that must mean she's a threat. Her heart sinks when she learns that the peasants are there merely to welcome them to the neighborhood.
For those of you who follow such things, we found Phantom Planet eerily redolent of the beginning of last season. For one thing, it featured Colleen Grey, otherwise known as The Leech Woman (show #802) playing another devious vixen. And it had more than a passing resemblance to show #803 -- the same tiny fake-cavernous set standing in for an entire underground civilization, and the same old-guys-in-robes factor. In this case, the main old guy was played by Francis X. Bushman, who in his younger days was a silent movie star (featured in the silent version of Ben-Hur). Would that Phantom Planet had retained more of a dignified silence. Though a pretty good movie for the show, I think, it had many scenes of non-stop expositional chat, which gives us all here a collective migraine when trying to write the show. On the plus side of this movie, however: John Agar was conspicuously absent!

Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie/episodes availability on video and on DVD and even books
The best book for looking up movie titles and descriptions is the Movie / Video Guide by Leonard Maltin, it even has a listing for Phantom Planet (1961), which he describes and then ends with "Fascinatingly terrible movie" (yet Crow says he even liked Laserblast). And you can still get Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie while supplies last...

Since the world ended today, I am guessing that all of us (and our blogs) have been collectively elevated to a higher plane of being without our knowledge, unless we experienced The Rapture during our sleep. That might explain this morning's king-sized headache. Anyway, whatever happened, it was a true non-event, since today is, as it was yesterday and the day before and the day before that, "business as usual." And part of that business as usual is .. blog carnivals!
The 24th edition of the carnival devoted to celebrating the best blog writing about birds, I and the Bird, is now available. It is hosted by Carel, author of Rigor Vitae, which gets its name from the book (read my review) with the same name. This is a truly wonderful blog carnival because it features Carel's artwork, one piece for each contribution, a piece that he plans to autograph and snailmail to each contributor. I can hardly wait to get my autographed picture in the mail!
It's more a "insider meme" than a true carnival, but Ask a Science Blogger is being published as blog carnival for the time by the mothership. As I alluded, this is different from a blog carnival because all of us are asked a specific question every week and our responses are linked from the Seed support staff's blog, Stochastic. The third edition is now available. Don't forget; you are encouraged to send your questions to the good peeps at AskaScienceBlogger.

2.1. Properties of extragalactic jets
The fact that synchrotron emission does not provide spectral lines has meant that even the simplest facts about the properties of jets, such as their velocities and compositions, have remained controversial. While magnetic field structures can be directly probed through polarization measurements, estimates of magnetic field strengths can usually only be made through the assumption of equipartition between the energies in the radiating relativistic particles and the magnetic field energy density; this assumption has the advantage of minimizing the total energy that needs to be supplied to the radio source.
Evidence for relativistic bulk motion in the powerful FR II sources has been generally accepted for quite a while, mainly because of the detection of apparent superluminal expansions of pc-scale knots through Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), along with the detection of fast motions on substantially larger spatial scales in a few sources. A source of radiation moving at moving with velocity = v / c at an angle, to the line-of-sight will have an apparent transverse velocity, app = ( sin) / (1 - cos), which can exceed 1 if 1 and is small. Very fast motions, implying bulk Lorentz factors, 2 < = (1 - 2)-1/2 < 10, also naturally explain the substantial asymmetry in the radio emissivities of extended jets in FR II sources; the jet with a component towards us would be Doppler boosted, while the (usually unobserved) counter-jet would be Doppler dimmed. For a jet of intrinsic spectral index [defined so that Sem(') (')-] the observed flux would be (e.g., Scheuer & Readhead 1979), Sobs() = Sem() D(2 + ), where the Doppler factor, D = [(1 - cos)]-1], and the observed frequency is related to the emitted one by = 'D; for small , this implies large enhancements. For a single source, the exponent in the above equation becomes (3 + ), and the boosting effect is even more pronounced. Apparently abrupt changes of directions of jets on the VLBI scales are also naturally explained in terms of small intrinsic direction changes that appear magnified to distant observers by special relativistic effects. Since the fluxes from the opposite hot-spots and lobes are usually very similar in FR II sources, it is widely accepted that the bulk motions of those extended regions are non-relativistic, with typical head advance speeds of ~ 0.03c (e.g., Scheuer 1995).
Recent observations have found that many FR I jets also provide evidence of relativistic velocities on VLBI scales (e.g., Giovannini et al. 1994, Biretta et al. 1999, Xu et al. 2000). Doppler boosting can not only explain that powerful FR II jets appear one-sided, but also that weaker FR I jets exhibit large brightness asymmetry only near their origins, and typically have short, one-sided basal regions (e.g., Laing et al. 1999; Kharb & Shastri 2001). The evidence that FR II jets retain relativistic bulk velocities out to 100's of kpc is quite convincing, with the brighter large scale jet always seen on the same side as the nuclear jet and towards the less depolarized radio lobe (e.g., Garrington et al. 1988, Bridle 1996, Gopal-Krishna & Wiita 2000a), so that it is inferred to be approaching us. However, for FR I jets, their diffuse morphologies, the fact that the brightness asymmetry of the jets decreases with increasing distance from the core, and substantial large bends frequently seen in FR I jets at multi-kpc scales imply that much slower flows (vbulk < 0.1c) exist on larger scales (O'Dea 1985, Feretti et al. 1999, Laing et al. 1999).
It is universally accepted that most, if not all, of the synchrotron emission arises from relativistic electrons. But the nature of the main positively charged component of the jet plasma remains contentious. Until recently, the great majority of workers have assumed that protons provided that neutralizing matter, and that their much greater masses implied that they required a lot of extra energy to accelerate but that they provided very little radio emission. However, the possibility that the jet was really composed of an e+-e- plasma has been suggested for a long time (e.g., Kundt & Gopal-Krishna 1980). Application of total energy and synchrotron radiation constraints led Celotti & Fabian (1993) to conclude that FR II jets were made of e--p plasma, since they argued that e--e+ plasma of the required density would yield too much annihilation radiation. However, Reynolds et al. (1996b) used similar energetic and radiation constraints to conclude that the jet in the FR I source M87 was likely to be made of e--e+ plasma. A similar argument favors an electron-positron jet in the Optically Violently Variable Quasar 3C 279 (Hirotani et al. 1999). If all of these arguments are taken at face value, one might infer that the main difference between FR I and FR II sources lies in the composition of the jet plasma, and this would imply the existence of a fundamental difference between their central engines. But it is worth noting additional evidence for the presence of pair plasma jets, even in FR II sources, comes from the interpretation of the radio power-linear-size (P-D) diagram in terms of a model for quasi-self-similar growth of double radio sources (Kaiser et al. 1997).
Although there are exceptions to this rule, it is well established that, in general, the magnetic field in a FR II jet remains aligned with the jet along most of its length, while in a FR I jet the magnetic field is predominantly transverse on multi-kpc-scales (e.g. Bridle & Perley 1984). Careful studies of FR I jets have led to the conclusion that the asymmetries in apparent emission from the two jets, and their detailed magnetic field patterns, are best explained if the jets in these sources consist of a narrow ``spine'' of relativistic flow with a predominantly transverse magnetic field, surrounded by a slower moving ``sheath'', probably contaminated by entrained material (a shear layer) where the magnetic field is stretched into a predominantly longitudinal configuration (e.g, Laing et al. 1999).
2.2. The Fanaroff-Riley Dichotomy
There are many other observed differences between FR I and FR II radio sources and the galaxies that host them (e.g., Baum et al. 1995, Zirbel 1997, Gopal-Krishna & Wiita 2000b). All these observations have led to the development of two general classes of explanations for the Fanaroff-Riley dichotomy.
Intrinsic explanations involve a fundamental difference in the central engine or jet properties between these two classes, while extrinsic explanations claim that the differences arise through interactions of the jets with the media through which they propagate. Among the intrinsic explanations are (see Gopal-Krishna & Wiita 2000b for details and many more references): the difference in jet composition mentioned above; a difference in the central engine, such as having a more rapidly spinning black hole yield FR II jets (e.g. Wilson & Colbert 1995, Meier 1999); a difference in the accretion process, where advection dominated flows might yield FR I jets, while more luminous ``standard'' accretion disks might produce FR II jets (e.g. Reynolds et al. 1996a).
The various extrinsic explanations assume that the jets differ in little except total power or thrust. In these scenarios, deceleration of the jet, through growth of instabilities and/or entrainment of external plasma, converts weaker jets into FR I morphologies, while stronger jets, which remain supersonic and/or relativistic to great distances, produce FR II structures (e.g., Bicknell 1984, 1995, Komissarov 1990). Recently Gopal-Krishna & Wiita (2000b) have stressed that the existence of a small number of sources with distinctly FR I morphologies on one side of the core and FR II morphologies on the other side, can play an extremely important role in distinguishing between these putative explanations for the FR dichotomy. They have found six good examples of these HYbrid MOrphology Radio Sources, or HYMORS, and have argued that while they are expected to be rare if an extrinsic mechanism dominates, HYMORS are unlikely to be found at all if an intrinsic mechanism were to be important.
As more measurements were made of the galaxies that host radio jet sources, it became clear that the simple radio source power criterion found by Fanaroff & Riley was not really appropriate. Rather, as the luminosity of the host galaxy, Lopt grows, so does the radio power, PR*, required to produce an edge-brightened, FR II, morphology. This was quantified by Ledlow & Owen (1996), whose extensive data compilations showed that PR* Lopt1.7. Bicknell (1995) demonstrated that this relation could be roughly reproduced within an extrinsic model for the FR dichotomy; in this picture, the weaker jets would slow until 2 and then suffer the growth of instabilities that lead to FR I type structures. It has now been shown that a variant of this scenario, using a somewhat different jet propagation model (Gopal-Krishna et al. 1989), and where the trigger that yields FR I structure is now the slowing of the advance speed of the jet to subsonic with respect to the external ambient gas (Gopal-Krishna et al. 1996), can produce an even better fit to the observed PR* - Lopt relation (Gopal-Krishna & Wiita 2001). While both the magnetic-switch model (Meier 1999) and the gravitational slingshot model (Valtonen & Heinämäki 1999) can also yield rough agreements with the radio-optical correlation, given the additional evidence from the existence of HYMORS, it is clear that extrinsic explanations for the FR dichotomy are more likely to be correct.
2.3. Implications of Relativistic Motions
As mentioned in Section 2.1, the detection of apparently superluminal transverse motions provides extremely strong evidence for relativistic motions in jets, and these large values also provide an excellent explanation of the preponderance of asymmetric jet luminosities in double radio sources with quite similar lobe powers. The orientation at which we view these relativistic jets can also provide an understanding of several other key features of radio-loud AGN.
It is now widely accepted that AGNs with strong radio jets will typically be classified as radio galaxies if the orientation of the jet to our line-of-sight to the source is greater than a critical value, crit 40°, while the same source will be called a quasar if < crit (e.g., Barthel 1989; Urry & Padovani 1995). These unified models for radio-loud AGN assume that the jets are launched parallel to the rotation axis of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) and perpendicular to the accretion flow feeding the SMBH. Unified models also require the presence of a thick dusty torus outside the accretion flow (on the scale of several parsecs) that can absorb enough soft X-ray, UV and optical radiation to hide both the direct core continuum emission and the broad emission line region if viewed from angles above crit.
In addition, if the jet is very close to our line of sight ( -1) then very substantial special relativistic effects would strongly enhance the observed fluctuations and polarization. Under these circumstances the source might be classified as an Optically Violently Variable quasar or other type of blazar. Extremely convincing explanations for the variations on the timescales of months of several quasars in terms of shock-in-jet models have been available for quite some time (e.g., Marscher & Gear 1985, Hughes, Aller & Aller 1991), and very rapid variability and polarization swings can be understood if the shocks are travelling down a slightly bent jet (e.g., Gopal-Krishna & Wiita 1992) or if there is strong turbulence in the vicinity of the shock (e.g., Marscher & Travis 1991). Recent measurements indicate that much of the fastest (intraday) radio variability (see Wagner & Witzel 1995 and Wiita 1996 for reviews) is probably due to interstellar scintillation (ISS; Rickett 1990); two such sources are PKS 0405-385 (Kedziora-Chudczer et al. 1997) and J1819+3845 (Dennett-Thorpe & de Bruyn 2000). Nonetheless, extremely rapid intrinsic variations do appear to be required for some sources. One example is the BL Lac object 0716+714 where there appears to be a correlation between variations in the radio and optical bands (Wagner et al. 1996). Another case is the gravitational lens system B0218+357 (Biggs et al. 2001); here correlated variations between the two images over a few days are seen to be nicely separated by the 10.5 day time lag due to lensing, and cannot be explained in terms of ISS or gravitational microlensing (Gopal-Krishna & Subramanian 1991).
Turning to the weaker radio sources, there is now abundant evidence that FR I radio galaxies are the parent population for BL Lacertae objects, in the sense that a typical FR I source, if viewed at small , would show the properties of a blazar, and that the relative numbers of these classes are nicely understood if this unification holds (e.g., Urry & Padovani 1995). The synchrotron self-Compton mechanism can neatly explain the overall spectral energy distribution of blazars (e.g., Sambruna et al. 1996), but this only works if > 5, for otherwise X-rays would be over produced. Intrinsic variability in many blazars implies small linear sizes; these translate into brightness temperatures that substantially exceed the inverse Compton limit of ~ 1012 K for incoherent synchrotron sources unless similarly high values of are invoked.
As the sensitivity and dynamic range of radio observations have continued to improve it has become clear that many so-called radio quiet AGN are actually radio weak, but not radio silent, and that there is a considerable population of radio-intermediate sources (e.g., White et al. 2000). Quite a few Seyfert galaxies are now known to possess radio jets, though they tend not to propagate very far, probably because of more rapid disruption by the interstellar medium of their spiral hosts (e.g., Pedlar et al. 1993) Again, a unified scheme seems to work very well, with the Seyfert 1 galaxies viewed at < crit so the broad line region and soft X-rays can be seen directly, while the Seyfert 2 galaxies are viewed at > crit and broad lines can only be detected in polarized reflected light (cf. Antonucci 1993).

Democratic insiders say they're not worried about Bernie Sanders — yet
Don't miss stories. Follow Raw Story!
GREENVILLE, S.C. — The Democratic establishment isn't panicking over the prospect of Bernie Sanders as their presidential nominee. Yet. They figure that Hillary Clinton, the darling of Democratic regulars, will win the Feb. 20 Nevada caucus and Feb. 27 South Carolina primary handily. That would put her on track to sweep a string of similar states…

Football: Impact transfers make the difference
With all the dust settled on the transfers this summer, you can say the big winner was Carson.
On the day attorneys for Santa Ana Mater Dei and the Southern Section were meeting behind closed doors to try to mediate a lawsuit about transfers, Carson was using two big-time transfers to defeat the Monarchs, 26-22.
Kevin McMahon, a senior transfer from South Torrance, passed for 260 yards. Roger Jones, a senior transfer from Compton, ran for 122 yards. How would Carson have done without those two players?
And I don't think the players showed up at Carson for academic reasons.
So this is why Mater Dei's lawsuit matters. The school is trying to get the CIF to clarify its rule that makes athletes who transfer for sports reasons ineligible. The inconsistent way the rule is enforced leaves everyone wondering what's going on.
I don't think there will be too many people feeling sorry for Mater Dei because two transfers beat the Monarchs, but the fact is that transfers are helping and hurting all kinds of schools. Wait until Carson starts playing in the Marine League and coaches see the impact in the battle for a City Section title.
This is what's happening in 2011. The attorneys need to come up with a good solution.

Have you considered buying a health insurance policy for your pet?
Hopefully your pet is healthy and stays healthy and injury free and your
out of pocket annual costs are minimal.
The Accident
Deciding if your pet needs pet insurance may be like closing the barn
door after the horse escapes. It happened to me. I always discussed
pet insurance at my behavior seminars but had not purchased it. Then,
when Fraser was around 4 years old he incurred a severe injury to an
ankle. It cost over $2000 for repair. I was lucky the surgeon was so
meticulous with his skills and helped Fraser achieve a successful outcome.
I bought a policy for Fraser right after that accident. I made
the decision to buy a policy not just because of the expense of
care from that accident but Fraser's active lifestyle. We enjoyed hiking
the NW and Canada and although day hiking may seem benign,
accidents do happen. And we hiked very tough terrain.
We were also actively involved with agility and lure coursing,
both fun activities that can lead to sports injuries.
An insurance company may offer options such as a standard
plan or premium plan. The older the pet the higher
the policy just like human health insurance.
May not be for Every Pet
So, if your dog is a couch potato or just enjoys walks/ romps, or low key
activities and accidents seem less than likely, you may want to think
about basic health care or senior care. Or, you may want to just create
a health savings plan for your dog like many people create for themselves.
Factor in your costs
Pet insurance can be expensive and approximately 5%
of pet owners carry a policy on their pets.If your policy
costs is say $300 annually and your out of pocket
costs include the $50-$100 deductable along with 20% or more
of the total bill you need to decide if these out of pocket costs
are worth it. The insurance company will provide you with
a benefits plan with set limits on how much it will pay for a
certain procedure, prescriptions, and general Vet care.
All companies list exclusions including breed specific maladies.
Carefull read through your the exclusions listing pre-existing
problems, medicines, dental care, and breed/genetic related
diseases and defects that will be your financial responsibility.
Examples of exclusions for hereditary conditions that commonly occur
in certain breeds may be bone cancer or hip dysplasia.
Specialized Services = Increased Expense
Vet services have really improved over the years offering specialized
diagnostics such as MRI's and CAT scans. There are also treatment
options such as radiation and chemotherapy for cancer. There are
rehab options such as hydrotherapy. With the economy being
what it is, sometimes the cost of emergency or necessary Vet care
is out of reach for pet owners. Then, heartwrenching decisions
must be made by the pet parent. Pet Insurance is not always
the saving grace. Even if you are armed with a pet
policy out of pocket costs can be high.
How it Works
All Vet insurance companies require you to pay your Vet directly.
Your insurance company supplies you with proper claim forms either
by mail or you can print out the form via their website. You supply this
form to your Vet which in turn, your Vet fills out and gives back to you.
You then send the claim form along with your receipt of payment to
your carrier. Then, depending upon your carrier you will receive your
reinbursement within 3 to 6 weeks. Some companies are quicker
than others and some are painfully slow. So, staying in contact
with your insurance company to check the status of your claim is
helpful. Like any insurance company they can deny your claim or
not reimburse you for what you thought your claim should be.
I wish your pet(s) a healthy 2009

BHSN: Applying to Bridgeport Hosp for Fall 2013
Hi All,
I thought I would start a new topic for those of us who are planning to apply to BHSN's Nursing program for the Fall 2013.
I will get things started with my stats (which aren't great...but not too terrible!):
TEAS - 78% (planning to re-take)
GPA - 3.2 (currently)
I also applied to GWCC and Southern, so hopefully I will get into one of these programs!Dec 31, '12I also applied to BHSN and Gateway.
Anyone have any experience with either program that they are willing to share?Jan 18, '13Anyone else applying to BHSN for Fall 2013?
I just received my acceptance letter! Sending in my deposit today.
Feb 13, '13MarcusPaxton:
Hi, MP...how long did it take you to hear back from admissions? I'm just curious how long from when you sent in your application until you received your acceptance letter. Also, did you apply to any of the other nursing programs? I know you said you have sent in your deposit for BHSN already, but I just wanted to know if you had also applied anywhere else.
To all those who stalk this forum as much as I do, please leave a comment if you applied to Bridgeport's program. Anything will do! Even if it is just to say you are waiting to hear back, just like me. It's nice have company while we wait. So just add your thoughts. Thanks.Feb 16, '13Playing the waiting game but I haven't heard anything. I called to make sure they have my application. They do so everyday I check the mailbox hoping there's something there but nope.Feb 17, '13Hi WannaBNurse23,
Welcome! I know what you mean about checking the mailbox! I literally stalk my mail lady! Last week...I met her on the sidewalk!....in front of my neighbors house!!! I couldn't wait for her to get to my front door. Is that pathetic or what? Have you applied to any other programs, if you don't mind me asking?Feb 18, '13Hello,
I have also applied to BHSN, on the website it says my application is being reviewed sinced Jan 25th. Still no reply, I also stalk the mail box everyday!!!! Have anyone heard back yet?Feb 18, '13Hi NurseKay2012,
No...nothing yet. How were you able to check your application status on the website? I know it sounds crazy, but I am taking 2 courses this semester, and I can hardly concentrate because I am justing obsessing about when will the mail get here! And these bank holidays are killing me!!...No mail today...Nooooooooo!!!!Feb 20, '13Bhsn, sent a paper giving me my applicant Id and temp password. From there you can see what they have and what they don't have, and if your application is under review . I still have not heard anything yet smh. Getting aggravated!Feb 20, '13Wow! Ok. I haven't received anything at all from them...but I can understand your frustration. Especially if you got a letter telling you your application is in review, and then there is nothing after that. Good luck! I hope you get in, NurseKay. Is Bridgeport the only school you applied to, and are they your first choice? Bridgeport is my first choice because it is a hospital-based program, and I've heard nothing but good things about how great the instructors are. Best of luck! I hope you hear from them soon.Feb 20, '13I actually sent in my completed application (with EVERYTHING) the very first day the application period started in September! LOL! I was prepared! LOL!
I got a letter in November which gave me the online access code to check my status.
My status changed to UNDER REVIEW in January and a month later I had my acceptance letter.
If your application was complete EARLY, they probably had a chance to review it before the influx of applications they receive at the end of the application period.
I also applied to Gateway's program (as a backup plan) in case I didn't get into BHSN.Feb 20, '13And for those of you that are able to check your application status online... When they do make a decision, your status will change from "Under Review" to "Decision Letter Sent". Then you just have to wait for your letter.

Now You Can Save The Life of Someone You Love – Maybe Even Your Own
Think back to the national push years ago to make center , high mounted brake lights mandatory in all automobiles. Since their implementation, countless studies show significant reduction in collisions, accident and injury.
HelSTAR, our wireless helmet brake and signal light is completely unique – our patent, the only one of its kind, features ground breaking technology that is so power efficient, industry experts have called it the equivalent of a million mile per gallon car. That means we can focus battery power on LED illumination and a rich feature set.
HelSTAR can be attached to any helmet and, once the batteries are installed it is "on". There is no switch so you can't forget to turn it on when you ride or turn it off when you get to your destination. For some of our pilot users, batteries have lasted more than a season. Battery drain is related to how much you use your brake. The transmitter attaches simply, under the seat of the motorcycle and integrates seamlessly into the motorcycle's brake and turn signal system. It even works on motorcycles with CAN Bus technology.
Once the unit is installed, the first time you hit the brakes after a period of inactivity (an hour), you will hear a "chirp" letting you know all systems are go – batteries are good, communication with the motorcycle is good and all LEDs are functioning. The unit is fully programmable and upgradable. We have firmware you can download and install that turns on brake modulation so that it flashes then goes solid.
Industry experts have joined our movement – for all motorcycle enthusiasts to come together and support increased safety that benefits us all.

Thank you, anonymous boy
Claire Creely | Thursday, March 3, 2011
Tuesday evening, I experienced a random act of kindness. Trying to join a friend to eat at the North Dining Hall, I accidentally brought an expired CoEx meal ticket. Preparing to sadly part ways with my friend, a guy who was leaving the dining hall overheard my dilemma and kindly gave up one of his meal swipes for me. In shock, I did not even think to thank this stranger for his unnecessary act until he was walking away. I'm embarrassed that I didn't react sooner and give him the thanks he deserves. I haven't been able to stop thinking about the incident since. It reminded me how much one random act of kindness can shed some light and change one's perspective. You never know when someone is in need of a sign of compassion to make it through the day. Especially with the upcoming Facebook event of "A Day of Peace," we all need a little reminder to pay it forward and spread some hope. So thank you again, anonymous boy, for your thoughtfulness that made my day. Pass it on.

Happy birthday, Sonia! The first Latina to join the Supreme Court, this "wise Latina" has definitely left her mark. We're celebrating with these 10 fun facts about Justice Sotomayor. Read on!
1. She's a comic book hero!
Sotomayor got the Wonder Woman treatment in 2010, when her story was made into a comic book series that also featured other notable women such as Hillary Clinton. Not too shabby!
2. She can cut a rug.
Joining La Bamba star Esai Morales at the Noche Musical gala for The National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts, Sotomayor cut loose without breaking rhythm.
3. She hates knock-offs.
As a young attorney, Sotomayor was involved in the early days of counterfeit enforcement, where she prosecuted those selling fake designer bags and was even a part of the event termed the "Fendi Crush" in 1986, where fake Fendi bags were smashed by a garbage truck as a message to those who buy and sell these goods.

Brady's successor at Arsenal unveiled
ARSENAL have confirmed the appointment of Dutchman Andries Jonker as head of their academy.
The 51-year-old, currently the assistant manager at Wolfsburg in Germany, will join Arsenal on July 1 and succeed Liam Brady in the role.
Brady, the Gunners' outgoing head of youth development and the academy, will "help to ensure a smooth transition" with Jonker, who spent seven years implementing youth coaching reforms with the Dutch Football Association.
Jonker has also worked as Netherlands U-21 coach and assisted Louis van Gaal at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, where he had a spell as interim head coach.
Meanwhile, Franck Ribery has claimed he deserved the Ballon d'Or ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo. "I won everything, with the team and individually. Ronaldo won nothing," he said.
The trial of Ribery and Real Madrid's Karim Benzema on charges of soliciting an underage prostitute started in Paris yesterday.

One hundred and three years after his ancestors opened a family business, Bill Aron has locked up Houldens Newsagents for the last time.
Mr Aron, a town and county councillor, has decided to sell the business to dedicate his time to serving the local community in his elected role.
Graham and Florence Moore took over Houldens on Sunday morning and Mr Aron assured the News the store is in safe hands.
"I'm very pleased that Graham and Flo are taking over the store," Mr Aron said. "I want to wish them all the best.
"I was hoping one of my children might have carried on with it because my family have had a presence in Horncastle since my grandfather first opened in Bridge Street in 1911."
In the 1920s, the family moved into the High Street and then took over their current premises 15 years ago.
Mr Aron added: "I remember when the lottery first started in 199. It was so busy that day.
"We had people queuing out the door as far down the High Street as Barclay's Bank."
Now Houldens is in the hands of Graham and Flo, who moved to Horncastle four and a half years ago.
Flo, originally from Hemel Hempstead, said: "We've been in the town just over four years and we love it here.
"We were both looking for a change of direction and saw Houldens was up for sale so decided to go for it.
"It's a long established business and we'll be working closely with Bill to start with.
"We can't wait to start, we love the idea of being in the centre of Horncastle."
Flo has previous experience of working in retail and is looking forward to serving the people of the town and continuing Mr Aron's work.
She added: "I hope that regular customers continue to come in and we would like to encourage new customers to come and see us.
"We're really looking forward to becoming a part of a living and breathing community.
Mr Aron added: "We have offered to help Graham and Flo out if we're needed.They have said the want to continue what we have already established."
When asked if he was looking forward to the prospect of having time off from work, Mr Aron answered: "At the moment, with my work as a county and town councillor, I don't think I will be idle for long."

List of Chance Pe Dance Movie Reviews
Ratings:1/5 Reviewer:Rajeev Masand Site:IBNLive
The thing is, director Ken Ghosh needn't have tried so hard. Chance Pe Dance is an annoying, exhausting film that entirely fails to entertain. Chance Pe Dance doesn't work because you feel no empathy for its protagonist. The film's writers -- if you can call them that, considering there is no script to speak of -- fail to invest even a hint of vulnerability in Sameer.I'm going with one out of five and a thumbs down for director Ken Ghosh's Chance Pe Dance; he borrows liberally from such Hollywood films. But with it's theme of a struggling actor's ultimate vindication, in the end I suppose Chance Pe Dance could be described as "Luck By Chance-For-Dummies". Although it would be a crime to mention the two films in the same breath! .Visit Site or More
Ratings:1.5/5 Reviewer:Taran Adarsh Site:BollywoodHungama
What bogs the film down is that it's too predictable from start to end. However, predictability is not the sole hitch here. The story doesn't have the zing to keep you hooked to the screen for most parts and also, it unravels at such a lethargic pace that you break into a yawn at several points of the narrative. The sole aspect that you carry home is Shahid Kapoor's earnest performance, who has consistently taken one step ahead with every film. This time, unfortunately, the shoddy script makes the actor's efforts null and void. Final verdict? A chance lost! Come to think of it, most dance-based reality shows on television these days promise far more entertainment, excitement, drame-baazi and those euphoric moments than the one you see in CHANCE PE DANCE.Visit Site or More
Ratings:3/5 Reviewer:Nikhat Kazmi Site:TimesOfIndia
Ken Ghosh's film slips. For, it offers you nothing new in terms of the script which ends up as the weakest link in this entire show. Sadly, it follow all the predictable twists and turns that comprise the star-is-born story. Yet, what makes this film watchable is the passion that Shahid Kapoor injects in his delineation of Sam, the struggler with stars in his eyes. The film may not have the emotional quotient of Ishq Vishq, Shahid and Ken's first film that set the box office on fire, yet it does have its moments. A better scripted, less cliched second half would have surely given the film a better chance to dazzle and shake.Visit Site or More
Ratings:1.5/5 Reviewer:Raja Sen Site:Rediff
A nothing movie with flashes of heart, Chance Pe Dance is a slow, indulgent watch -- meant strictly for the Shahid Kapoor fan.This is the story of a Bollywood struggler, and it initially feels refreshing to see the leading man be this clueless and this complete a loser. Yet success, which originally evades him -- making him sob -- eventually falls into his lap, and there's no great conflict for this boy who seems wonderfully comfortable living in his car night after night. Clearly, the Mumbai Police loved Kaminey and are letting him be.There are a few warm touches and Kapoor occasionally manages to sparkle. But there are far better places for a showreel than in a movie theatre.It's mostly harmless, and certainly harebrained. Leave it to the Shahid-obsessed.Visit Site or More
Ratings:2/5 Reviewer:Gaurav Malani Site:Indiatimes
Ken Ghosh's dance-drama takes no chance in experimenting with storytelling style and ends up being an extended version of the music videos that he used to direct before making feature films. The screenplay by Ken Ghosh and Nupur Asthana is conventional to the core, has predictable plot-points and lacks any dramatic graph. Kiran Kotrial's dialogues lack depth and additional writing help by Manu Rishi doesn't add any value to the narrative. Ken Ghosh's direction lacks as much conviction as his writing and it's easy to comprehend how he hurries and fabricates the storytelling in the second half. Sadly, scripts are written for reality shows today but there is no real good scripting involved in feature films. So in times when dance talent-hunt shows on television promise more drama and entertainment, you find no good reason why to give this dance a chance.Visit Site or More
Ratings:2/5 Reviewer:Aniruddha Guha Site:DNA
In fact, director Ken Ghosh and his writers don't seem to have worked on making the film even a little bit engrossing.Director Ghosh seems to have put all his efforts on song picturisations and little else. But with a story and script as bland, you can't really expect him to make any sort of mark.Chance Pe Dance is the kind of film where you know the end and can't wait to get there, even if it takes its own sweet time to do so.Watch it only if you're a die-hard Shahid fan and if three good songs and four good scenes satisfy you as an audience.Visit Site or More
Ratings:2/5 Reviewer:Anupama Chopra Site:NDTV
Chance Pe Dance tries to combine a dance movie with a Bollywood-cinderella story and comes up empty-handed.This is a dance film without one memorable dance track. But the biggest let-down is the script. It meanders and stumbles along bewilderingly.In fact, it seems like both Genelia and Shahid are squeezing in as many expressions as they can into each scene to compensate for the lack of a coherent script. But all their energy cannot fire up this inherently dull film. Chance Pe Dance isn't the hot weekend ticket you were waiting for.Visit Site or More
Ratings:1.5/5 Reviewer:Abhijit Mahamunkar Site:Buzz18
Ken Ghosh directed CPD is a cliché ridden film that's predictable from the word go. With cheesy lines aplenty, zero emotional connect with any of its characters and multiple cinematic liberties taken, the film leaves you cold.Okay, for a film based on music, one expected that area to be topnotch. But it's a big disappointment, with Adnan Sami and Pritam Chakraborty's tunes lacking any punch.However, Shahid's dance sequences have been superbly choreographed by Ahmed Khan and Marty Kudelka, making him a treat to watch. He also impresses in a few emotional sequences.Beginning with a very imaginatively shot opening sequence, Chance Pe Dance doesn't live up to one's expectations and ends up being a complete bore! Avoid, unless you are a huge fan of Shahid Kapoor's dancing prowess.Visit Site or More

OurColony.net Delivers Possible Xbox 360 In-Game Image
Viral/marketing campaign website Ourcolony.net has yet another teaser image for us, this time an image that may, or may not, be an in-game snap from a forthcoming Xbox 360 title. It may of course simply be taken from some kind of tech demo designed to show off the graphical grunt of the console. Either way here it is:
We have to say that the scene is certainly vibrant with lush flora and impressive lighting effects, and if a legit in-game snap gives us a new indication of what to expect in visual terms from titles gracing Microsoft's next-gen console. Nope, no brains splattering on walls in this one, but we can definitely imagine our level 50 warrior stalking through that forest on a quest for riches, fame and glory.
