Which Nursing Degree is Right for Me?
Peter Vogt | Monster.com
The RN Path
If you'd rather go straight for your RN, you can get there via several paths:
Diploma in Nursing: Heavy on clinical experience and light on theory, diploma programs are usually hospital-based, although these days some hospitals run programs in collaboration with local community colleges, Turner says. You'll need a high school diploma or GED to enroll, but whatever your educational background, you'll need two to three years to get your diploma and become eligible for RN status.
Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN): Offered through community and technical colleges, an ADN can be completed in as little as two years if you took all the science prerequisites (typically microbiology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, algebra and psychology) in high school. It will take you three or even three-and-a-half years if you need the science prerequisites, which are part of every nursing program, to complete your ADN.
Once you've finished your ADN, which is also known as an associate of science (AS) or associate of applied science (AAS), depending on the school, you'll be eligible to become an RN.

Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN): Because of its educational depth, the BSN has become the degree employers prefer. As Turner points out, it often takes about the same amount of time to complete, practically speaking, as it would for you to fulfill all of your science prerequisites and get an ADN. So in the end, she says, the BSN gives you "more cluck for your buck."
If you don't already have a bachelor's in another field, you'll need four years to complete a BSN. But if you do have a bachelor's, look into:
Accelerated Programs: If you have a bachelor's in a non-science-oriented field like English and want your BSN as quickly as possible, you can enter one of the country's more than 160 accelerated BSN programs and earn your degree in two to two-and-a-half years. If your first bachelor's is in a science-oriented field like biology, you'll probably be able to complete an accelerated BSN program in 12 to 18 months, since you already will have taken some or all of the BSN program's science prerequisites.
Regularly Paced Programs: These programs cover the same ground as the accelerated BSN programs at a normal pace. If your first bachelor's is not in a science-oriented field, you're looking at three years to completion. With a science-oriented bachelor's, you can finish in two years.
Of course, you'll also need to pass your state's National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) to get your state RN license.
Whatever your current situation, you can find an educational path into nursing that makes sense given your background and time frame. The industry definitely needs you.

Talk:Entrance Pupil Database
I am confused by the terms "horizontal" and "off-axial" adjustment.
It seems like they should be "horizontal" and "vertical".
And these depend on camera orientation. The distance between camera base and lens axis is "horizontal" only if the camera is in portrait orientation. In landscape, that same distance is "vertical".
Pictures should make this clear.
Perhaps it would be even more clear to refer to these offsets as "basal" and "lateral", or some such.
Is there a standard nomenclature for these things? Where is it defined?
I agree with you. Initially I had x, y and z but that would probably be just as arbitrary. I have not had the time to take pictures of the setup to show what I mean. The descriptions I had in mind are based on a portrait setup.
I am not sure if there are standard definition for it. I was not able to find it. Any help or suggestions would be helpfull.
Number of picture for 360 / Degrees between picture
Thanks for adding your measurements.
I have a question. I thought the degrees between the pictures would only be applicable to Fisheye lenses ? Does that also apply to normal lenses ? Or is the difference only noticable in Fisheye lenses, and too small have an impact on normal lenses.

"We have to stop with the idea of creating peace on earth and begin with creating peace with Mother Earth. We've tried the first alternative for thousands of years, but look where that has led us, now is the time of the Original Ways, the Native ways, after all ... it is coming this way - that we all must make peace with Mother Earth - there is no more altering the native way."
Tiokasin is available for concerts, lectures and other speaking engagements. Please email: email@example.com Tiokasin Ghosthorse is from the Cheyenne River Lakota (Sioux) Nation of South Dakota and the bands of Itazipco/Mnicoujou and Oglala. He is the host of First Voices Indigenous Radio on WBAI NY - Pacifica Radio. Tiokasin has been described as "a spiritual agitator, natural rights organizer, Indigenous thinking process educator and a community activator." One reviewer called him "a cultural resonator in the key of life." Politics for the Lakota is spiritual and is not separate from the rest of life. Tiokasin has had a long history in Indigenous rights activism and advocacy. He spoke, as a teenager, at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. Ever since his UN work, he has been actively educating people who live on Turtle Island (North America) and overseas about the importance of living with each other and with Mother Earth. He is a survivor of the "Reign of Terror" from 1972 to 1976 on the Pine Ridge, Rosebud, and Cheyenne River Lakota Reservations, and the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs Boarding and Church Missionary School systems designed to "kill the Indian and save the man." Tiokasin Ghosthorse is also a master musician and one of the great exponents of the ancient red cedar Lakota flute, and plays traditional and contemporary music, using both Indigenous and European instruments. He has been a major figure in preserving and reviving the cedar wood flute tradition and has combined "spoken word" and music in performances since childhood. Tiokasin performs worldwide and has been featured at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, Lincoln Center, Madison Square Garden, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and at the United Nations as well as at numerous universities and concert venues.
His words of Indigenous insight and global concern are offered though the experience of "one Lakota living in one world".

26 Years of Indigenizing and Re-Indigenizing Radio Nationally and Internationally First Voices Radio (FVR) is the first "Indigenous" radio program in the northeastern states of the U.S. and the world offering a cutting-edge format. FVIR brings to the airwaves the experiences, perspectives and struggles of Indigenous peoples worldwide whose exclusion from mainstream, progressive and alternative media is deleterious to the whole of humanity. Our purpose is to help ensure the continuance and survival of Indigenous cultures and Nations by letting "the people" tell their own story, in their own words, and often in their own languages and ways of speaking. FVIR educates and informs, while breaking down the romanticization, historical and current stereotypes, and begin to form real relationships with Indigenous nations and communities, based finally, on respect and real understanding.
This one-hour is devoted to bringing the voices of the Indigenous peoples connecting their struggles with those of other Indigenous Peoples around the world.
Those of us in the media supposedly seek the truth. Or what we deem to be the truth. But what or who defines our truths? How responsible are we journalists to purport the truth to our readers, our viewers, our listeners? How dependent are audiences on our versions? Do we inspire them to search out their own truths, or do we influence so well that we leave no room for doubt? However, how do we know which points are valid? What colors our visions? Are there non-Indians and Indians who can relate to the news concerning Indigenous information without bringing into play embedded stereotyping; distorted images portrayed repeatedly by the media for decades? Is there a way to present the truth and still maintain that Indigenous people are not of the past, not second-class citizens and incorporate a belief that our lives are of interest to the general populace? Of course! However, where can we find the every-day truths concerning worldwide indigenous issues? Not just from the so-called "western" hegemony of "Indigenous, Native American, American Indian, or Aboriginal" writers, but from the people living, doing and relating themselves to terra firma with intact culture, languages, and perspective. Western compulsory [Euroamerican] education has taken its toll and in some aspects, educated the wisdom out of the Indigenous mind and has brought to the forefront a rationale explained in foreign concepts unrelated to the lands it pretends to have conquered. The experience of the Native person who lives the voice of Mother Earth has to encounter a different paradigm of western reasoning based in denial of the Indigenous thinking process. How do we see ourselves in systematic western institutions based on the disenfranchisement of "killing the Indian [thoughts] and saving the [American] man"? Much of today's radio programming is written by non-Indigenous people, and the programs presented by Indigenous peoples are often edited, either by tribal governments, churches or non-Indigenous producers. There is definitely a need for an innovatory talk radio program where the average Native can present his or her viewpoint without feeling pressured to curb perspective. From the Pacifica Radio Network and the WBAI New York studios located on Wall Street in lower Manhattan, First Voices Radio airs weeklyand is syndicated on 74 other national and international radio stations with features focusing on the world's Indigenous peoples. FVR is heard on other Pacifica affiliates, pirate radio stations, and live Internet radio and archived for broadcast at www.WBAI.ORG. The broadcast areas cover a population density of 28 million people in the states of New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey, with a fringe radius in Rhode Island and Pennsylvania including the cities of Providence and Philadelphia.

The upcoming BlackBerry L-Series phone and its next-genertaion BlackBerry 10 operating system got caught on video this weekend, and of course that means it was shown off next to the iPhone 5. The video comes by way of Tinhte, who have a history of getting access to pre-release and prototype hardware.
BlackBerry 10 remains a really interesting looking take on a modern mobile computing OS, gesture-centric like the PlayBook OS that preceded it, but molded to better suit the size and needs of a phone. And as to that phone, it's blacked out similar to the iPhone 5 (something BlackBerry's been doing for ages), and angles closer to the Porsche Design BlackBerry Bold.
Overall, it looks hot. Whether it's hot enough, however, to reverse BlackBerry's current misfortunes and beat back Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 to re-solidify them as the number three player in the space remains to be seen. BlackBerry has money, but they don't have much more time. Here's hoping the nail the landing.
BlackBerry should be formally announced the device at the end of the month, and CrackBerry.com will, as always, be all over it.

Xmodmap is a utility for modifying keymaps and pointer button mappings in Xorg.
The Linux kernel generates a code each time a key is pressed on a keyboard. That code is compared to a table of keycodes defining a figure that is then displayed.
This process is complicated by Xorg, which starts its own table of keycodes. Each keycode can belong to a keysym. A keysym is like a function, started by typing a key. Xmodmap allows you to edit these keycode-keysym relations.
Keymap table
Print the current keymap table formatted into expressions:
$ xmodmap -pke
keycode 57 = n N
Each keymap is followed by the keysyms it is mapped to. The above example indicates that the keycode
57 is mapped to the lowercase n keysym, while the uppercase N keysym is mapped to keycode 57 and shift.
Each keysym column in the table corresponds to a particular key combination:
- key
- shift + key
- mode_switch + key
- mode_switch + shift + key
- AltGr + key
- AltGr + shift + key
Not all keysyms have to be set, but if you want to assign a later keysym without assigning earlier ones set the earlier keysyms to
You can check which keymap corresponds to a key on your keyboard with xev (see: Using xev).
XF86Mail). Those keycodes can be found in:
Custom table
You can create your own map and store it in your home directory (i.e.
~/.Xmodmap). Print the current keymap table into a configuration file:
xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap
Make the desired changes to
~/.Xmodmap and then test the new configuration with:
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
To activate your custom table when starting Xorg add the following:
if [ -f $HOME/.Xmodmap ]; then /usr/bin/xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap fi
Alternatively, edit the global startup script:
Test changes
You can also make temporary changes for the current session. For example:
xmodmap -e "keycode 46 = l L l L lstroke Lstroke lstroke" xmodmap -e "keysym a = e E"
Special keys/signals
You can also also edit the keys: shift, ctrl alt and super (there always exists a left and a right one (Alt_R=AltGr))
At first you have to delete/clear the signals that should be edited. Write at the beginning of your Xmodmap file (here: ~/.xmod) :
!clear Shift !clear Lock clear Control !clear Mod1 !clear Mod2 !clear Mod3 clear Mod4 !clear Mod5 keycode 8 = ...
Remember: ! is a comment. So only Control and Mod4 (Standard: Super_L Super_R) get cleared.
Write the new signals at the end of ~/.xmod:
keycode 255 = !add Shift = Shift_L Shift_R !add Lock = Caps_Lock add Control = Super_L Super_R !add Mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R !add Mod2 = Mode_switch !add Mod3 = add Mod4 = Control_L Control_R !add Mod5 =
Here: We exchanged the Super-keys with the ctrl-keys. My lil' finger likes that really ;).
Reverse Scrolling
The natural scrolling feature available in OS X Lion can be mimicked with xmodmap. Since the synaptics driver uses the buttons 4/5/6/7 for up/down/left/right scrolling, you simply need to swap the order of how the buttons are declared in
~/.Xmodmap and append the following line to the file:
pointer = 1 2 3 5 4 7 6 8 9 10 11 12
Note how the 4 and 5 have been reversed.
Then update xmodmap:
# xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
To return to regular scrolling simply reverse the order of the 4 and 5 or delete the line altogether. For more information check Peter Hutterer's post, Natural scrolling in the synaptics driver, or the Reverse scrolling direction ala Mac OS X Lion? forum thread.

Garry Winogrand Retrospective to Open at the Met
This Friday, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York opens a retrospective of work by Garry Winogrand, one of the most prolific and least explored photographers of his generation.
See photos from the retrospective.
The Met's display of 175 pictures, many capturing the joys and turbulence of postwar American life, is one of the New York museum's largest-ever exhibits on a single photographer. An expanded version of the show debuted last year at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
"Winogrand demanded of his pictures a kind of complexity and raw power that remains influential on picture-makers today," said Jeff Rosenheim, curator in charge of the Met's photography department. "The questions he asked about the role of the camera in our society remain relevant."

don't see any monumental contributions, either, but still think it's valuable. it may be written one hundred times before, but if we are still discussing it, reading about it, and people are still writing about it - what does that say? Perhaps the approach (still) isn't correct or hasn't yet taken hold, or those outside the community can't understand Information Warfare and how good at it we are. I've seen more than a few of us become quite frustrated and struggle to understand why those outside the IW community "just don't get it" or how they "just don't understand." Sometimes operations or amazing things are confused with value. I think this article seeks to address the value proposition of Information Warfare. We've done very well in a few areas, particularly in the areas mentioned earlier, and also in SPECOPs. But, as a whole, I don't think we've moved the ball much outside of our circles. I've seen briefs to our Flags about how a unit or even group was moved to support a specific effort for us, as though it's an accomplishment bringing value. For comparison, I've never seen a brief to URL flags about how a unit or group was moved to support SUW, AW, AW, etc. They perceive tasks required to conduct warfare as necessary to bring value, not as the actual endstate, or value. For Information Warfare to be understood universally within the Navy, it must share the same purpose as the other warfare areas inside operations. We are really, really good at doing this at the LT and below level (subs, air, surface), but suffer beyond O5. We don't have many O6s outside of the beltway, and those we do have are poorly placed: a prisoner of 2/39 rather than being able to really influence the N00, the N1, the N3, the N7. It's killing us.
My apologies if you were disappointed in your quest for insightful solutions/recommendations. I think the solutions are within us and will be found by modeling what IW is. Definitions on paper aren't as powerful as what is defined in action. Perhaps this is why "we had issues defining what we did as IWOs in a meaningful and lasting way for years". Our present definition will suffice for as long as we are of value... ...to those other than ourselves. I don't think you are callous and I appreciate the discourse. It's important to trade broadsides of ideas and think differently. If everyone agreed with the charted course and everyone thought the same thing we would only be as good as one person/mind. As Patton said, "If everyone's thinking the same thing, some isn't thinking." Too often in our world there is no room for voicing one's views, primarily because everyone guards against their seniors perceiving them as the fly in the ointment, a continual dissenter, etc, etc. I heard someone refer collectively to a friend and I as "company men, unable to disagree". I chuckled because, while I understand the point, pretty sure there are a few senior folks who would instead use the description "rage against the machine". Don't think they pay us to agree; but, some DO eventually "pick us" to agree.

Online Security
- Why am I being asked to answer security questions when I log in?
We require you to provide answers to security questions to help identify you in certain situations. There are a few reasons why you are asked to answer security questions when logging into your account.
- You are a new user and need to enroll your account online for the first time.
- You are manually deleting your cookies.
- You have your PC security software on a very high setting that deletes 'first party' cookies. Most PC security software deletes only 'third party' cookies, but the setting can be changed to include 'first party'.
- You are using a different browser or PC each time you go to the website.
- How do I avoid answering the security questions every time I log in?
Depending on the situation, you can:
- When manually deleting cookies, be careful not to delete our cookie.
- Change the setting on your PC security software to delete only third party cookies, or add our cookie to the 'safe cookie' list.
- Log on to our website from browsers that you have already setup with our cookie.
- What is a personal message?
When you log on to your account, we will show you a message that you chose when enrolling your account online. Look for this message each time you log on! A fraudulent site will not have access to this information, so it will be missing. Beware of broken links where your personal message should be. If you get a broken link, type our web address directly into your browser address line and try again.
- How secure are your online services?
- With online account access, customer information and account data is protected by several state-of-the-art safety features: firewalls, data encryption and Password verification.
- Your User ID and Password should only be known only by you, so only you can access your accounts. Your Internet Service Provider and Houghton State Bank do NOT know your Password. Houghton State Bank will not send any account information to you electronically unless your unique User ID and Password are entered correctly.
- Your secure session will automatically terminate after 10 minutes of inactivity. If this happens, you will have to logon again to access your accounts.
- What can I do to protect my accounts and company information while I am online?
- Memorize your User ID and Password. It is essential that you do not reveal your User ID and Password to anyone! We also recommend that you do not use easily verifiable information such as birth dates, social security numbers and addresses when selecting your Password and User ID.
- Frequently change your Password. You can easily change your Password online by logging in and clicking on the 'Profile' Tab.
- Completely sign-off after each online session. For security purposes, online account access will automatically sign you off after 10 minutes of inactivity.
- What should I do if I think someone may know my User ID or Password?
If you think someone may know your User ID or Password, please call an an Online Representative immediately at 1-800-853-9586 7:00 AM through 7:00 PM CT, Monday through Friday to assist you in changing your information. You can also change your Password online by logging in and clicking on the 'Profile' tab. We suggest that you change your Password at least once a month for added security.
- What is encryption?
Encryption is the encoding of a file in order to protect its contents. This entails a word or a group of words essentially written in a secret code language - a language that is useless to anyone but you and your bank, to protect that message from unwanted viewing or tampering. The term "encryption" is a computer-age extension of the term "cryptic," which means something being hidden or mysterious.
- How is encryption used and how does it relate to me?
Encryption, in all of its forms, is a major reason why we can offer you online account access. Basic encryption involves the transmission of data from one party to another. The sender encodes the data by scrambling it, then sends it on. The receiver must decode the data with the correct "decoder" in order to read and use it. Your computer, as well as our computer system, recognizes the mathematical formulas of the encrypted messages during transactions. The more powerful computer system you possess on your end, the higher level or grade of encryption you can use. There are two types of encryption that you should be familiar with - domestic grade and international grade - when deciding how you will do your online banking. Domestic grade encryption, also called 256-bit encryption, is a much faster and more powerful form of encryption. On the other end of the spectrum would be 40-bit, or international grade, encryption. The 40-bit means that there are two to the 40th power of possible keys that could access your account information, but only one that could be used per Internet banking transaction. This essentially means that the chances of cracking the code for a particular transaction in 40-bit encryption are very, very small. The 256-bit encryption requires more computer processing power than 40-bit encryption but is more secure.
- What is cache?
Cache is a temporary holding place in your computer (a.k.a. memory). As you visit Internet sites, certain pieces of the page (graphics, etc.) can be stored in cache. Depending on your browser settings, your browser may look for pieces of the page to be stored in cache as you are navigating Internet sites.
- Do you cache my information?
No. A cache is a stored file on your computer's hard drive. When dealing with sensitive and secure data, we do not want the computer to store the information on your hard drive.
- What level of encryption protection does online account access support?
All transmission of customer information through online account access is encrypted using 256-bit encryption technology.
- How secure are my accounts and transactions?
Protecting the privacy and security of your confidential financial information is our first priority. Online account access provides end-to-end encryption to secure transactions while in transit. Your accounts are also protected with a Password known only to you. Only you can access your accounts and authorize payments. To gain a greater level of protection, we recommend changing your Password(s) on a regular basis and not using birth dates, first or last names, or other documented numbers or letters that may be easy to locate. Only you know your private Password, so you can be confident that your data is secure. Your Password is NOT known to your Internet Service Provider or Houghton State Bank.
- How do websites collect information?
Information can be collected in several ways, but typically "personally identifiable information" (information that can be traced to a single user) is not gathered on a widespread basis. Most information collected online is "usage data," or data limited to where an individual visits within a site and/or how much time is spent at a particular site. Online services, for example, may track sign-on and sign-off times for billing purposes. Individual websites (whether companies or individuals) may gather certain kinds of information about you when you visit their site. Many sites limit information gathering to broad usage statistics. Some website operators may collect information about you through your email address, the means by which you connect to their site, by the use of "cookies" or voluntary questions directed at users.
- Where does my information go when I provide it online?
You can reasonably assume that some level of information tracking will be done when you logon to the Internet. Unless a site or service provider posts its information gathering and dissemination practices, it is up to you to inquire about them. It is also up to you to decide whether you want to provide your name, mailing address, phone number or any other personal information if a website asks you to register.
- What are cookies? Can I get rid of them?
Some websites transfer a file, often referred to as a "cookie," to your computer's hard drive, which enables them to track your activities on their site. While a code in the cookie file allows a site to label you as a particular user, it doesn't reveal your real name and address unless you've provided the site with such information or set up preferences in your browser to do so automatically. Newer versions of browser software enable you to decide whether you want to receive cookie files, and some programs notify you when a website is about to deposit a cookie file. To check whether cookie files have been placed on your computer, look for a hard drive file called "cookies.txt" if you have an IBM compatible PC or "magic cookies" if you have a Macintosh. You can delete these files from your hard drive. There are also utility software programs, called "cookie cutters" or "anonymizers" that allow you to edit cookie files selectively within web browsers.
Note that after you delete our cookie, if you log on from the same browser again, you will be prompted to answer your security questions.
- Why should I accept cookies?
Your browser must accept cookies in order to access your account online. Houghton State Bank uses a cookie to maintain authentication between our application server and your browser. This cookie holds a key, which is used to verify customer authentication. This ensures that we are maintaining a secure connection. If your browser does not accept cookies, we are unable to maintain authentication between your browser and our application.
Houghton State Bank also uses a persistent cookie to personalize the display of information for you. For example, a persistent cookie enables you to set which entry page (personal or business) to use as the site's home page.
All Houghton State Bank cookies are encrypted to help prevent being hacked. For security purposes, the information collected in the information will not be your Social Security Number, Password, or other personal or company information.
- Does the website use cookies to gather information about me or my PC?
No. The cookie is used to help identify you at logon, but does not gather information about your PC or look at any information on your PC.
Only our website can read our cookie. It is used only at logon, and is not used to track your activities on the Internet.
Our cookie contains only an encrypted numeric identifier with some anti-tamper content, and does not track any of the information on the web pages or any transactions you do. The cookie is unaware of the transaction, its type, amount and does not store any personal information about you.
- What is spamming?
Spamming is the practice of sending unsolicited electronic mail to many users simultaneously. The email message itself is referred to as "spam".
- What can I do if my credit card number or other personal information is being used fraudulently?
To prevent credit card misuse, don't give out your credit card number online unless you know and trust the requesting website, or are assured that proper security measures are in place. To ensure security, your credit card number should be encrypted using the latest software technology. Don't believe a website that tells you that your information doesn't need to be encrypted and contact companies providing the encryption technology to check whether it's actually being used as advertised. If your credit card or personal information is being used fraudulently, immediately contact (by phone and in writing) your card issuers and all creditors with whom your credit card number or name has been used or may be used. Also contact the fraud units of the three major credit reporting companies: Experian (experian.com), Equifax (equifax.com), and TransUnion (transunion.com). Request that your credit report be flagged for potential or actual fraud, and inquire about attaching a "victim's statement" to your report. Beyond the initial reporting steps, there are many avenues available for dealing with or obtaining information about the varied aspects of credit card or identity theft. The primary resource is the Federal Trade Commission.
- What is phishing?
Phishing is a fraudulent email scam that uses spam to attempt to get consumers to disclose or verify their account numbers, personal identification numbers (PIN), Social Security Numbers, Passwords, or other sensitive information. This email typically resembles an email from a familiar company and may have a similar Internet address to that company in the text; however, it will usually have a couple of letters transposed.
- What can I do to protect myself against phishing?
In an effort to protect yourself, use caution when applying for items via email. Be sure to verify the Internet address and check to see if the site is secure before you enter any personal data. If you receive an email from Houghton State Bank that looks suspicious, please call to verify that we sent it to you.

Randomly accurate rumor site Digitimes has pair of stories up saying that Apple may be looking to re-design the iPad, iPhone, MacBook Air, and iPad next year. This according to "upstream supply chain" sources.
Apple has asked makers in the supply chain to develop flat panel modules and LED light bars for two iPad prototypes, codenamed J1 and J2, the sources revealed.
Stranger still:
Apple's new generation iPad will enter mass production soon with the launch set for March 2012, according to sources from the upstream supply chain; however, the sources revealed that internally Apple does not view the new iPad product as iPad 3, but rather an upgraded iPad 2 and the real iPad 3 will not be launched until the third quarter of 2012 at the earliest.
iPad 3 likely will ship when Apple can make Retina display panels cheaply enough, at high enough yield rates, to make sense.

Author Notes: Colorful dishes mean more antioxidants. For that reason, whenever I make a salad or any dish involving a lot of vegetables, I try to include as many colors as possible. Summer is one of the best times for diverse, colorful cuisine because there are so many varieties of fruits and vegetables available at local farmers' markets. This past Saturday while browsing produce at a nearby stand, a farmer showed me a vegetable I had never seen before – round, vibrantly colored, and surrounded by a thick gourd, I was immediately intrigued by it. The farmer informed me that it was a type of squash. Upon investigating further online, I learned that this type of plant is known as Summer Squash, and it hits its peak in May-August. It is available in green, white, or yellow. I decided to experiment with it while cooking a lunch for my family this weekend, and the results were delicious. The meal I made consisted of an Italian pomodoro-type spaghetti accented with crostini on the side. It was light and seemed perfect for highlighting summer's herb and veggie flavors. —Christina Singletary
Serves: 4
pound thin whole-wheat spaghetti
can diced tomatoes
yellow summer squash
fresh basil leaves
cup fresh oregano leaves, chopped
small onion
cloves garlic, minced
tablespoons olive oil
teaspoon red wine vinegar
sea salt, fresh ground black pepper, red pepper flakes to taste
organic parmesan cheese, to taste
- Set a large pot of salted water to boil.
- While waiting for it to boil, dice the yellow squash into small pieces. (Note that although I used yellow, any variety will do). Salt and pepper it lightly, and set aside.
- Mince onion and garlic.
- Heat olive oil on high in a large wok, and when it is hot, add onion/garlic and saute for approximately 2 minutes.
- Add spaghetti to boiling pot of water. Add squash to wok and saute until soft, approximately 7 minutes.
- Once squash is soft, add the canned tomatoes (use fresh tomatoes for added health, but remember to add a sweetener to balance their acidity).
- Then, add the fresh basil and oregano, then the vinegar and some red pepper flakes. Cook for another 2 minutes.
- Drain the spaghetti, drizzle with olive oil and dish it out onto plates. Top with the mixture from the wok and some parmesan cheese, and serve hot.

I'm way late to the game on this one, but I recently started seeing how beneficial it is to pin or post sketches and ideas up on a wall to look at all at once to work on a design instead of looking through a stack of sketches and digital files.
Currently, I'm taping separate sketches to the wall and I'd love some recommendations for a better solution. Are there any types that stood out as good or bad at work or school? Did you use rails, magnets, cork, clips, something purchased etc? I'm thinking of building or purchasing something, ideally lightweight and easy to hang and remove.

Dear Child Care Provider,
In September 2009, the Department of Social Services (DSS) announced steps to reform Child Care Licensing. As part of this process, the Child Care Licensing and Regulatory Section will be assessing child care centers throughout the state over the next year, as well as restructuring the Division of Child Care Licensing. We believe that uniformity for our providers and better defined procedures for our licensing staff will enhance our continued efforts to promote the health and safety of the children that we all serve. Our goal is to communicate with you and provide support to you regarding how decisions are made within Child care Licensing.
In order to achieve more effective and consistent enforcement decisions and actions, we are implementing a new system for evaluating non-compliance in a more quantitative and qualitative manner. As part of this process, we will be reviewing and charting the history of compliance for each licensed center based on new criteria. Serious, Numerous, and Repeated non-compliance will be assessed and identified in the new framework as defined below. The framework is a guide to assessing centers as there is no substitute for expertise in the regulatory process through licensing administrative review process. The process allows for flexibility in decision making and is a tool as DSS reserves the right to revoke a license based on a one-time serious incident.
SERIOUS Non-Compliance Deficiencies
"Serious" non-compliance is evidenced by a Class A or B facility's non-compliance with a licensing requirement that exposes children to conditions that present or have the potential of presenting an imminent risk of harm or actual harm to children, depending on severity. Serious areas of non compliance include, but not limited to deficiencies in the following areas:
Child/staff ratio
Prohibited disciplinary actions
Use of passenger restraints
Reporting child abuse
Criminal background clearance
Administering medication to children without authorization or training
Fraud/falsifying documents
Any validated instance of corporal punishment, physical punishment, cruel, severe, or unusual punishment, physical or sexual abuse and/or neglect if the owner is responsible or if the employee who is responsible remains in the employment of the provider;
Any activity that otherwise places the health, safety or morals of children at risk, whether on premises, property or vehicle
NUMEROUS Non-Compliance Deficiencies
"Numerous" non-compliance is evidenced by a facility's documented non-compliance with licensing requirements in any one licensure visit.
REPEATED Non-Compliance
"Repeated" non-compliance is documentation of non-compliance with the same licensing requirement.
All licensed centers will be reviewed within the next year based on the above described framework. Future adverse actions taken by the agency will be decided based on these new criteria. Non-compliance threatening the health and safety may result immediate revocation.
Please be reminded that in early September 2009, DSS issued an emergency rule that disqualifies any child care provider from reapplying for a new license for a period of two (2) years if a facility's licensure application is denied or if the facility's license is revoked, not renewed, or voluntarily surrendered to avoid adverse action due to the provider's failure to comply with state statues and licensing rules.
The health and safety of the children placed in out-of-home care is of paramount concern to the Department of Social Services, Child Care Licensing and Regulatory Section. Licensing specialists are available to assist you in identifying strategies to improve compliance with the requirements. Please contact the OFS Child Care Licensing and Regulatory Section with any questions at 225-342-9905 or by email to

Masses rally for Egypt's Islamist president
CAIRO (AP) — Supporters of Egypt's Islamist president rallied in a massive demonstration Friday in a show of force against opponents demanding his ouster amid increasing tension and polarization in the country.
Demonstrators gathered in a main boulevard near Cairo's presidential palace, many with their fists raised, carrying pictures of President Mohammed Morsi and chanting religious slogans.
"Islamic, Islamic despite the secularists," shouted the crowd, underscoring the religious flavor of the demonstration.
"God choose for us Mohammed Morsi," a top Brotherhood leader, Massoud el-Sabhi, told the president's supporters, many of whom were bused to the Egyptian capital from far-flung provinces.
"Our battle is an identity battle, against communism and secularism," read a banner, while another declared: "The people want to implement Islamic Shariah law." Brotherhood members in red helmets and carrying white plastic sticks manned makeshift checkpoints, searching bags and checking IDs as demonstrators streamed into the boulevard where the rally was held.
"I am here to support the legitimacy of an elected president who was chosen by the people through the ballot box," said Saad Ismail, 43-year-old teacher from the Nile Delta province of Beheira.
"We want to ensure the Islamic identity of Egypt," he added. "The majority of people want to be governed by Islamic laws."
Morad Ali, a spokesman of the Brotherhood's political arm, the Freedom and Justice party, estimated the crowd at about 2 million people. The main boulevard, along with several side streets were packed as protesters streamed in for hours. But a more realistic estimate should be well in excess of 100,000.
The rally was meant to counter plans by Morsi's opponents to stage mass demonstrations on June 30 — the anniversary of his coming to power in 2012 — to demand that he step down. Morsi was elected after a popular uprising ousted President Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
The June 30 protest campaign is rooted in a months-long petition drive. Organizers announced on Thursday that they have collected up to 15 million signatures supporting Morsi's ouster and early presidential election.
In the run-up to the anniversary, protests and clashes have spread across the country over Morsi's appointment of 17 new governors, seven of them members of his group. In a particularly striking move, a member of an ex-militant group was named governor of the ancient city of Luxor. The city witnessed killings of tourists in 1997 at the hands of the same militant group.
Earlier this week, protesters in Luxor and elsewhere used chains to lock up offices of the new governors, sat fire to car tires, and clashed with Brotherhood supporters.
Morsi's year in power has been marred by constant political unrest and a sinking economy. His opponents charge that he and his Brotherhood have been systematically amassing power, excluding liberals, secular groups and even ultraconservative Salafi Muslims.
A persistent security vacuum and political turmoil have frightened away foreign investors and tourists. Egypt's already battered economy has continued to slide, draining foreign currency reserves and resulting in worsening fuel shortages and electricity cuts along with increasing unemployment. All of these factors have added to anti-Morsi sentiments, further polarizing the nation.
His backers charge that the opposition, having lost elections, is trying to impose its will through street protests. Their counter-campaign is taking on increasingly religious tones.
A 20-year-old veiled university student Doha Abdel-Salam said she joined the rally to denounce calls for secularism by "those who are supposed to be intellectuals."
"So, it is very clear there is a war on Islam," Abdel-Salam said, adding she came not to defend Morsi or the Brotherhood, but "to defend my religion."
Even though Friday's gathering was dubbed "1 million people rally against violence," it was accompanied by religious edicts from pro-Brotherhood clerics who gave the green light to fighting against Morsi's opponents, describing the opposition's June 30 protests as a "religious war."
On Thursday, a leader of the radical Islamist Gamaa Islamiya, Assem Abdel-Maged, told a gathering in the southern city of Minya that those conspiring against Morsi include Coptic Christian extremists, Communists and remnants of Mubarak's regime.
"Our dead are in heaven, and their dead are in hell," Andel-Maged said.
Meanwhile, Ashraf Abdel-Moniem, a preacher and member of a pro-Morsi's Islamist umbrella known as Religious Legal Commission for Rights and Reform said that killing those who take up arms against Muslims on June 30 is permissible.
In a video circulated on social networking sites, he said "those who raise an arm against Muslims and threaten them with death or fight them or kill them, they have no sanctity, and it is even a duty to push them back, even by killing them if they don't retreat."
However, Morsi's hard-line Islamist backers were snubbed on Wednesday when Sheik Ahmed el-Tayeb, the grand imam of the Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo, said that peaceful protests against the president are permitted.
Al-Azhar is the Sunni Muslim world's foremost seat of learning and styles itself as a voice of moderation. With the political rise of ultraconservatives since Mubarak's fall in February 2011, el-Tayeb and other leading Al-Azhar clerics have actively pushed back against their strict interpretations.
Also Friday, several thousand anti-Morsi protesters held their own gathering outside the Defense Ministry, a few kilometers (miles) from the Islamist rally.
"Leave, leave, the people want the fall of the regime," the protesters chanted.

For the very cool Gimp Colorize Plugin Christopher Lais is looking for a new maintainer. Don't let this die.
The same is about the quite good GREYCstoration plugin, volunteers wanted to improve the code of the current GIMP plug-in and implement features of the commandline version.
The third is the JPG2000 plugin, since the GSoC project nothing happens and nobody has seen this working in Gimp on Linux.
So new developers are needed to improve existing plugins and move them to Gimp 2.4 and later to 2.6.
Anybody reading this could help finding the new maintainers and developers.
Post this on your blog and your related boards! If one of your friends could do this ask him!
(I got this from Eckhard M. Jäger http://my.opera.com/area42/blog/gimp-plugins-developer-wanted)

When an NFL team from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania makes a late play on a free agent, that team typically comes from the Philadelphia area. With tackle Jake Long, the 11th-hour effort originated in Pittsburgh.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Steelers "made a play" to get Long, just before he agreed to terms with the Rams.
Of course, it's hard to make a serious play without cap room. And the Steelers don't have much of it. So while it's nice that the Steelers showed some interest in improving an area of the team that has been in recent years its weakest, it's impossible to close the deal without the ability to fit the contract under the annual per-team spending limit.
The fact that they jumped in to the Long chase could mean that the Steelers will "make a play" for tackles Andre Smith or Sebastian Vollmer, whose status was believed to be in limbo while the Long deal was worked out. Absent cap space, however, the only guy they'll be able to get is Max Starks on another one-year minimum deal.
