Since 2001, the number of nursing programs in California has increased from 97 to 138, housed in the state's 125 nursing schools. California nursing schools' graduation numbers have risen annually, from 5,178 in 2000-01 to 10,570 in academic year 2008-09. In that time, nearly 65,000 nurses have graduated.
Data Driven
That is the bottom line from this year's annual School Report from the Board of Registered Nursing. The school report is commissioned by the BRN's education advisory committee, then reported by the Center for the Health Professions at the University of California, San Francisco.
The report is filled with information on the numbers of new students enrolled (13,988 in 2008-09) in the number of available slots (12,812 for the same time period) and the number of students applying for slots (22,523). For 2008-09, a total of 25,285 students are enrolled in nursing schools; 29,691 are listed as pre-nursing students. For academic year 2008-09, more than 61 percent of applicants for nursing school in California did not get accepted. Joanne Spetz, PhD, investigator on the report, noted the number of applications is likely greater than the number of individuals applying for admission because potential students often apply to more than one program to better their chances for admission.
"The number of admission slots has risen every year since 2001," Spetz said. "Many programs are over-enrolled, and some schools have two or three admission cycles. Some programs may take a few extra students, or backfill empty slots, or could include LVN to RN students. The key thing is in early 2000, these programs were not operating at full capacity, and now they are. The number of qualified applicants still far outstrips the number of slots."
Program Growth
Because of the large number of recent nursing graduates unable to find work due to the effects of the economy on the nursing workforce, some of the "soft money" used to fund some slots in nursing schools is being pulled back. Spetz cautioned programs dependent on this "soft money" may begin to feel the pinch and may decrease enrollment to match funding. Many programs will be lucky to stay stable in the challenging budget environment.
"We expect more people will be looking at nursing," she said. "And we expect admission rates to be tight. Nearly a quarter of admission slots are based on grants. We know demand is going to go up despite the current economic conditions. There's a concern that legislators will see new graduates having trouble finding work, decree the shortage is over and pull the plug on funding."
The biggest increase was seen in entry level master's (ELM) degree programs, nearly doubling from nine in 2004-05 to 16 in 2008-09. In that time, the number of students admitted to ELM programs has more than doubled, going from 876 students admitted in 2004-05 to 2,184 in 2008-09. The greatest growth has come in private programs, which Spetz said tend to be a little more entrepreneurial and nimble.
"There are more people looking at nursing as a second career," Spetz said. "ELM programs draw people who want to be NPs, clinical nurse specialists or administrative supervisors.
By the Numbers
More than 10,500 students completed their nursing degree in 2008-09. There are still more than there times as many ADN graduates (7,119) as BSN graduates (2,788), although the gap is narrowing. Spetz noted the state needs to graduate between 10,000 and 12,000 nurses a year to meet the challenge of the nursing shortage.
While the retention rate (75.2 percent in 2008-09) has risen gradually over the past decade, the attrition rate had remained fairly constant. It decreased this year from 16 percent the past 3 years to 14.7 percent in the latest survey. Of 10,630 students expected to finish their programs in 2008-09, 7,990 actually graduated. An additional 1,078 are still enrolled, but 1,562 dropped out. Attrition rates are higher in ADN programs, running nearly twice the BSN rate and three times the ELM rate. Attrition is also higher in public schools than in private schools.
The use of simulation centers continues to increase. Nearly 90 percent (111) of nursing schools use simulation in some form for part of the clinical requirements for students; 85 of those plan to expand. An additional 11 schools planned to add simulation to the curriculum for 2009-10.
"The majority of schools that increased their simulation use did so because they received grants," Spetz said. "Most use sim centers to standardize clinical experiences, to check clinical competencies, to provide clinical experience not available in a clinical setting and to make up for clinicals no longer available in hospitals."
That lack of clinical sites is a big problem, Spetz added.
"The lack of pinch points, like pediatrics, is a big challenge," she said. "Schools can usually find med/surg placements, but specialty care is a problem."
Faculty is another issue.
"We still expect a number of faculty retirements," Spetz continued. "These programs all will not be able to maintain or expand enrollments without more faculty."
Regional Focus
The report also breaks out information on a regional basis for nine of the 10 regions in the state. The nine regions include Northern California, the Northern Sacramento Valley, Greater Sacramento, the Bay Area, the San Joaquin Valley, the Central Coast, Southern California I (Los Angeles and Ventura counties), Southern California II (Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties) and the Southern Border Region. The Central Sierra does not have any nursing education programs and was not included in the analyses.
Southern California I and the 10-county Bay Area are home to 70 of the 125 schools of nursing in the state. Applications for these schools continue to be more than can be accommodated: 55 percent of those applying to the 40 schools in Southern California I are turned down, while 62 percent of those applying to the 30 schools in the Bay Area don't get in. More than 80 percent of the state's new nursing graduates come from these two regions: 2,319 in the Bay Area and 3,151 in Los Angeles/Ventura counties.
The complete school report plus regional breakdowns is available on the BRN website.

The Bourbon Alexander/
To the shock of absolutely no one who knows anything about my drinking proclivities, the second Alexander of Alexander Week is the Bourbon Alexander.
As you can see below, we made this in quite similar fashion and flavor to yesterday's Brandy Alexander, swapping out cinnamon gelato for pumpkin spice, using dark creme de cacao instead of white. You could also argue a first-cousins kinship between a Bourbon Alexander and Milk Punch, which today tends to be made with whiskey. (Originally, it was rum-based.) This is worth mentioning because Milk Punch was considered medicine/nutrition back in olden times, so now you've got your handy excuse for why you're drinking (again).
The Bourbon Alexander
1 ¼ ounces Corner Creek Reserve Bourbon Whiskey
¾ ounces dark creme de cacao
1 ¼ ounces Ciao Bella pumpkin spice gelato, plus a little more for the float
Fresh nutmeg, for garnish
Pour bourbon and creme de cacao into ice-filled cocktail shaker. Add 1 ¼ ounces gelato. Cap and shake vigorously. Strain into cocktail glass. Float another spoonful of the gelato in the middle of the glass. Garnish with fresh nutmeg on top.
Tasting Notes:
About this Corner Creek bourbon (which Sean's jokingly called Cripple Creek so many times, I forget it's not really called that): We picked up a bottle at the Wine Library (a must-visit in the Garden State; unlimited cheese sampling!) because it was all of $20. Plus, it comes in a wine bottle. (Hey, I've chosen alcohols for reasons far less). We've read up on it since then, or at least tried. 'Tis a puzzlement, this
Cripple Corner Creek.
The label says it's distilled in Bardstown, KY (one of bourbon's historical epicenters, although not part of Bourbon County) by the Corner Creek Distilling Co., which apparently has no website (anymore?). From what I've been able to gather (forgive me if I'm off-base), Corner Creek is a barley-free bourbon, its mashbill containing only corn, wheat and rye, and it's aged for a completely respectable eight years. According to the wildly divergent online reviews I've skimmed, it's not even a love-it-or-hate-it whiskey; it's a love-it-hate-it-or-claim-utter-indifference-to-it-with-equal-fervor whiskey.
As a Bourbon Alexander base, Corner Creek served me very well. Its rye notes, while not aggressive, gave the pumpkin spice something to play against, but overall it's a sweet and uncomplicated bourbon.* I'm glad I used it instead of Maker's Mark, which could have over-caramelized the taste of the drink, I think.
Of course, like any good bourbon addict, I will someday definitely make a Bourbon Alexander with Buffalo Trace and encourage you to do the same.
* There's actually tons more I could say about Corner Creek. For a whiskey that's almost stubbornly facile, it's made for a fascinating specimen. I'll piece together a good and proper review of it soon, promise.

Phillies Ben Revere, Ex-Lexington Catholic star, will have surgery, miss 6-8 weeks
PHILADELPHIA — Phillies center fielder Ben Revere, a former Lexington Catholic star, will have surgery Tuesday on his broken right foot and is expected to miss six to eight weeks.
Revere broke his foot on a foul ball before hitting into a double play to end Philadelphia's 5-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox in Game 1 of a doubleheader Saturday.
Acquired from Minnesota last offseason, Revere started slow with the Phillies. But he raised his average to .305 from .200 on May 1 and had a 10-game hitting streak before getting hurt.
John Mayberry Jr. started the last two games in Revere's place and hit a game-tying, solo homer in one game and had a game-winning RBI single in extra innings Sunday.
Still, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. will be looking for outfield help.

800 Sq/Ft Sound Masking System with Qt 100 Control Module
The Qt 100 is ideal for single zone spaces of up to 12,000 square feet (1,115 m2). The Qt 100 is easily controlled from the module's front panel or Bluetooth connected iOS device, making volume adjustments quick and easy.
The Qt 100 comes standard with a wall mount. The wall mount provides level mounting for quick and easy installation.
Qt emitters are installed along a simple grid pattern based on ceiling height. Qt emitters can be installed into standard ceiling tiles ranging from 0.5" to 1.5" (1.3 cm - 3.8 cm) thick. Qt emitters can also be installed into any ceiling type using a variety of mounting options. Emitters are plug-and-play, daisy-chained together with CAT-3 and higher, plenum-rated cables. We supply with every emitter, pre-terminated CAT3 cables with industry standard RJ-45 connectors.
The Qt 100 can make a big impact in small spaces needing improved speech privacy including:
Qt emitters are the backbone of the Qt Quiet Technology Sound Masking System. Qt emitters are wide dispersion direct field speakers with 1.25" (3.17 cm) drivers and are smaller than a coffee mug. All Qt emitters come in the adjustable format. These emitters deliver four uncorrelated audio channels, which provide uniform, unobtrusive sound masking. This feature, along with plug and play installation and easy configuration capability, make Qt™ systems the most intelligently engineered and most effective sound masking systems on the market today.
Qt™ Adjustable Emitters offer users greater flexibility in laying out their Qt system. Adjustable emitters allow users to reduce the volume level of an individual emitter by up to 9 dB in 3 dB decrements. The adjustable emitter is appropriate for individual spot adjustments, or creating micro zones down to 100 square feet (9.3 m2) of space.
Qt emitters are installed along a simple grid pattern based on ceiling height. For a standard 9' (2.75 m) ceiling, emitters are laid out on a 10' x 10' (3 m x 3m) grid. Emitters can be installed into standard ceiling tiles ranging from 0.5" to 1.5" (1.3 cm – 3.8 cm) thick. Emitters are plug-and-play, daisy-chained together with CAT-3, plenum-rated cables. We supply with every emitter, pre-terminated CAT3 cables with industry standard RJ-45 connectors.

Our Prophet (saas) has described the End Times in which we are living in considerable detail. One of the main features of the End Times is that, in that period Muslims will face many difficulties, troubles and pains. That is because, as our Prophet (saas) reveals, this period is one in which irreligion will spread, materialist and Darwinist ideologies will engage in intensive propaganda. During this period many people will abandon religious moral values altogether, true believers will be few in number, Allah will be blatantly denied (surely Allah is beyond that), Islamic countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan will be invaded, Muslims will be besieged in Bayt al-Maqdis, tyrannical rulers will oppress the public in many Islamic countries. In this period disorder and terror will enfold the world, corruption will spring up somewhere else as it dies down in one place and innocent people will be unjustly killed, women and children will be slaughtered, people will live in fear and terror and despite all this Muslims will still be fragmented. (For more detail in this subject, see http://www.endoftimes.net/)
However, while warning Muslims in great detail about these problems they will encounter, our Prophet (saas) has also shown them how they can be saved from these difficulties. Almighty Allah will free the Islamic world and all mankind from difficulties and troubles of all kinds by sending Hazrat Mahdi (as) when the calamities of the End Times are at their fiercest. Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a holy individual descended from our Prophet (saas), who, according to the hadiths and statements by Islamic scholars, will appear in Hijri 1400, in this century in other words, and will lead people out of the darkness into which they have fallen, towards the light. Rasulullah (The Messenger of Allah) (saas) has described in detail Hazrat Mahdi's (as) physical characteristics, the kind of struggle he will wage, where he will come from and what he will do. He has provided amazing details about all this. According to these details, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will serve in Istanbul, will wage an intellectual struggle against Darwinism and materialism, will neutralize the corruption that turns people from religious moral values, will construct the Turkish-Islamic Union by uniting the Islamic world, will put an end to all forms of injustice and unfairness, will be instrumental in people growing and becoming very wealthy in both material and physical terms and, together with the Prophet Jesus(pbuh), will make the moral values of Islam rule the world. He will be instrumental in a time like the Age of Felicity taking place across the world, when Allah fully manifests His title of al-Hadi (Who Guides), when people fully abide by the moral values commanded by Allah, when there is plenty and abundance everywhere and when joy and happiness reign. (For more detail, see www.awaitedmahdi.com)
Therefore, these troubles taking place all through the Islamic world and the corruption and disorder all over the world, herald the coming of this holy individual. Each one of the hundreds of events that our Prophet (saas) foretold as signs of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) have taken place one after the other as of Hijri 1400. Just like our Prophet (saas) foretold, the waters of the Euphrates have been stopped, the Iran-Iraq War broke out, bloody attack occurred at the Kaaba, there have been lunar and solar eclipses at 15-day intervals during the month of Ramadan, Afghanistan has been invaded, all of Iraq has been occupied, Halley's comet has come by, a fire was seen from the East when the oil wells were set on fire during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, a corruption of darkness and smoke was seen when the Twin Towers in America were attacked on September 11, the rulers of Sham and Egypt were killed, Azerbaijan was invaded, the comet Lulin, which had two tails and flew in the opposite direction to all other comets, was seen and hundreds of other portents have all come about. These things are all proof we are in the age of Hazrat Mahdi (as).
In this holy age foretold by our Prophet (saas) it is unacceptable for any sincere Muslim who follows our Prophet (saas) not to seek Hazrat Mahdi (as) and prepare the way for him by striving for the unity, union and salvation of the Islamic world. The whole Islamic world must be united in the fervor and excitement of living in the age of Hazrat Mahdi (as), must seek out Hazrat Mahdi (as) and must strive for the world to attain peace, calm and prosperity with him being instrumental. It must not be forgotten that the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the global dominion of the moral values of Islam is the destiny ordained by Allah. Allah will make Hazrat Mahdi (as) successful whether people support him or not. Through him, He will eliminate all the corruption of denial and will impose the dominion of Islamic morality. Therefore, everyone who intends to be one of Hazrat Mahdi's (as) helpers and strives to become one, who desires the unity of the Turkish-Islamic world and who wages an intellectual struggle for the salvation of Muslims who are oppressed all over the world, is actually striving for himself. As our Lord reveals in Surat al'Ankabut, "Whoever strives [in the way of Allah] does it entirely for himself. Allah is Rich Beyond Need of any being." (Surat al-'Ankabut: 6)

John McClane (Bruce Willis) heads to Russia after learning that his estranged son Jack (Jai Courtney) is in prison awaiting trial.
Alright, let me stop right here and say that none of that first sentence — that John finds out about Jack's imprisonment, how Jack gets himself in trouble — makes any kind of sense as the story unfolds. Not only the premise but pretty much every bit of backstory is completely absurd. As the plot unwinds, it's helpful to remember that it's not so much that the movie goes in a nonsensical direction, it's that not a bit of it ever made sense to begin with.
And so, after Jack arrives at the courthouse, ready to testify against Komarov (Sebastian Koch) — don't worry about why or what he did, neither of us needs to waste time in our lives trying to suss it out — there is an explosion, and a small army attacks the courthouse, looking for Komarov. Jack grabs Komarov and lights out. But John, seeing Jack and Komarov getting away, tries to stop Jack, telling his son that it will be worse for him if he runs. That doesn't stop Jack, though, so John follows him, shooting the bad guys (or, at least, I'm pretty sure they're bad guys) who are also following Jack and Komarov.
He might not know what's going on, but John McClane is always going to try to run a truck into another truck, particularly if that second truck includes guys firing heavy weaponry.
Eventually, we learn that Jack's "escape" is not what it appears, and soon John is forced to help him and Komarov get away from, er, people who are chasing them.
Why? Well, as Jack explains at one point, these are bad guys. And then he says "terrorists, WMDs, nukes." That's not an exact quote but something like that, just a list of bad things. He could have said "grease stains, root canals, IRS audits" for all that it mattered to the plot. I don't know that just saying the words "terrorists, WMDs, nukes" is really enough set in motion a such a massive, violent outing. (Feel free to make your own Iraq war joke here.) But that's basically all we get.
Oh, well, that and explosions. Lots of explosions. Explosions that explode into more explosions. And you'll also find some helicopter-related violence, guys jumping through windows (a lot of windows; whoever sells prop glass had a very good year) and so much shooting that it's really only the moments when there isn't shooting that stick out.
And all of this is why people go see a Die Hard movie. You aren't going for the plot or the fantastic acting, which is why Timothy Olyphant's evil hacker and the car-into-helicopter all worked so well in Live Free Or Die Hard. Why this movie isn't anywhere near as good as that is that the story and the performances can't be so egregiously terrible as to pull you away from marveling at all the action movie delights. Willis' face is stuck in permanent smirk, and Courtney is barely an animate object. And while I am perfectly fine with the retro rewind use of Russia as the source of villainy (not to mention the use of Chernobyl as a major plot point), there is something a little too on-the-nose about the bad guy who points out that it's not 1986 anymore.
A Good Day to Die Hard is an eardrum-shatteringly loud movie that should have shaved the special effects just a hair to buy itself an at least coherent plot. C
Rated R for violence and language. Directed by John Moore with a screenplay by Skip Woods (from original characters by Roderick Thorp), A Good Day to Die Hard is an hour and 37 minutes long and is distributed by 20th Century Fox.

Culvers in Merrill

Culvers in Merrill
This Wednesdays Foto News from Merrill said that Culvers is making a deal to put one in at the old Burger King building right across from Pine Ridge Mobile over by Walmart of Merrill. Other franchises wanted in to Merrill but the Common Council shot them down, just like they shot down Harley to put a plant in the ITC building abandoned by Woodship Corporation. So Harley says alright then we'll build one in Tomahawk and that is where The Kaphaem Road plant came from. The Merrill business men and the others that run Merrill said they would lose there key top employees to the plant. So they lose out on all the tax Revenue Harley would have provided. So they build on Kaphaem and lost key employess anyway from these folk applying and being hired up there. They lost emplyees and tax revenue. What kind of logic is that? So now the Common Council will be voting on whether or not they would allow Culvers in. Hopefully someone wakes up and sees the value of growing the town and tax base. Come on Merrill, wake up to change. Oh the other restaurants don't want to let them in for fear of losing some business. If the town grew and more people came to town it would all come out in the wash. Culvers may even bring Tomahawk folk down to Merrill. They come now anyway for WalMart.
Re: Culvers in Merrill
I'm not a huge Culver's fan, but it would be nice to see that building being used for something productive.
Re: Culvers in Merrill
Well it's a done deal. We're getting a Culvers in Merrill. The Common Council had their vote and decided by a 8-0 vote it was a yea, they're letting them in. So now the empty building is going to be used and we'll have another choice for food on the run. They're putting somewhere about $1.2 to $1.6 million dollars to bring the building and contents up to the Culvers standards. They're putting upwards of $600,000 into the structure redesign and upwards of $400,000 in equipment and furnishings. I don't recall when they anticipate the completion and opening. I'll have two Butter burgers please!

Sol 74 Update on Curiosity from USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: Squeezing More In21 October 2012
As the MSL operations team gets more experience, we are getting more aggressive. In addition to the long-planned arm activities (4th scoop of soil), we added MAHLI images of the far side of the ripple we are scooping, Mastcam mosaics, and ChemCam LIBS observations of a nearby patch of soil during the day and just before dawn. The ChemCam observations are intended to see whether water frost forms on the surface during the night, by comparing the amount of hydrogen seen in the LIBS spectra when the soil is warm and cold. It was my last sol as SOWG Chair, and I was happy that we were able to squeeze so much into the Sol 74 plan.
I'll be taking a few days off from tactical operations this week, traveling to the Bay Area to give an overview of the Curiosity mission at the USGS in Menlo Park.

Covering Texas Conservation History — Resources for News Media
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has posted on its website a trove of historic photos, magazine articles, and research reports that yield a fascinating look at hunting, fishing and fish and wildlife conservation in the early to mid-1900s. For those willing to look back, these show how things have changed, but also how many of the same pressing issues are still with us today.
On the department's web home page, click the little News link in the middle of the page. Then on the left click News Roundups, then select the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration link. Here'll you find a narrative story or news release at the top, followed by links to historic photos and documents.
All this material was posted to help writers cover the 75th Anniversary of WSFR in 2013. This vital federal funding source has paid for almost every important conservation achievement in Texas, starting in 1937, when Congress passed the Pittman-Robertson Federal Aid to Wildlife Restoration Act. The law levies an 11 percent excise tax on rifles, shotguns, ammunition and archery equipment and a 10 percent tax on handguns. In 1950, Congress passed the Dingell-Johnson Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act, mandating a similar excise tax on fishing rods and related equipment.
On the News Roundup web page, note the 1940s and 50s articles from Texas Fish and Game Magazine, precursor to today's Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine. Stories here about pronghorn, quail and Black Gap Wildlife Management Area reflect the earliest use of federal aid dollars in Texas.
Below the magazine articles, you'll see wildlife restoration reports. Files like "1938-1953 Wildlife Restoration Spending By Species" reveal how Texas first used what was then a brand new federal funding source. The file "1945-1953 WMA Land Acquisitions" shows early use of WSFR dollars to buy land to create WMAs, which provide settings for wildlife research, hunting, birding and the like.
The News Images link offers photos of Sierra Diablo, Texas' first WMA, plus images showing early pronghorn and deer restoration work and other topics.
These online resources are the tip of the iceberg. At TPWD headquarters, we've assembled more than 2,000 pages of historic reports from the Texas State Archives. The Wildlife Division also has cabinets full of early reports, some featuring original 8"x10" black and white photos, maps and charts.
Look through this, and you'll find people who did the early spade work to bring back fish and game in our state, some of whom have been called conservation heroes. One example is Dan Lay, one of the earliest Wildlife Restoration Program leaders in Texas, author of two magazine articles mentioned above, and of the award-winning book Land of Bears and Honey. (See the Texas Legacy Project entry about Dan at http://www.texaslegacy.org/bb/narrators/laydan.html).
For help with any of this, feel free to contact Mike Cox, firstname.lastname@example.com, or (512) 389-8046 or Tom Harvey, firstname.lastname@example.com, (512) 389-4453. They encourage you to find a way to cover the 75th Anniversary of WSFR this fall, to shed light on our past, and to make sure current generations understand the role of hunters, anglers and boaters in keeping our outdoor heritage alive.

This article is a follow up on discussions had in Noordwijk-aan-Zee about how to accelerate R&D in the neglected and emerging infectious diseases.
The two articles, one by Bénédicte Callan and Iain Gillespie of the OECD Biotechnology Division and the other by Anthony Hopkins, Salomon Nwaka and Michael Witty, are sister articles that were developed together and provide two complementary perspectives on the challenges identified in the Noordwijk Medicines Agenda.

If BFIT is not listed, please call the federal processor at 1-800-433-3243, or use your FSA ID to make a correction at the FAFSA website.
Follow up with our office. We may need to request further documentation from you and/or your family. If further information is needed, a written notification will go out to you in the mail.

Recently, I decided to try a raw food cleanse. It felt, intuitively like something my body needed. While it was intended to last 9-days, at day 5, I knew my body was done. I needed more protein and I was tired of feeling famished and lethargic.
However, some great stuff came out of the cleanse: I'm eating more veggies than ever before and I'm still not eating any animal protein above and beyond eggs. I'm not saying I'll go vegetarian by any means, but it has felt good to give my body a break. Above that, I'm just not craving anything…except for toast (and Ener-g Foods Tapoica bread is the best gluten-free toast ever!)
I also fell in love with green smoothies. I'm having them everyday now, sometimes twice a day. Here are a couple of my recipes – most of which have been adapted from what I've seen online.
-2 cups water
-1/2 c pineapple, chopped
-2 c kale or other green leafy vegetable (spinach is great too)
-1 banana
-2 ice cubes (optional)
Blend on high until thoroughly mixed. The ice cube will make it super cold (if that's your preference). Pour into a big tall glass and enjoy. Yum!
Here's the recipe for green smoothie I'm having every morning:
-2 c unsweetened almond milk
-2 c kale or other green leafy vegetable
-1 banana
-4 strawberries, chopped
-1/4 c blueberries
Blend on high and enjoy.
It's the best way to get more fruit and veggies into your diet (and it tastes amazing)!
Happy Eating!
P.S. I really do drink mine from a margarita glass. It's so much more fun that way. 😉

22nd September 2017
Executive vice president, Lucia Domville was on business in Mexico City when the earthquake struck this week. She reflects on the role of the media and social media... good and bad.
I lived through Mexico's earthquake in 1985. Then, many more buildings collapsed, and even more people died than did this week. We really never knew the exact number of casualties. Then, the dimensions and severity of the earthquake came to us mostly from people's own recounts, and radio stations, as the main TV station had collapsed. There was no cell phones or Internet, or Whatsapp, Facebook or Amazon online to donate.
Today, 32 years later, the media have played a different role in this latest tragedy. Within minutes, even when at least 30% of the city had lost its electricity and the signal on cell phones was choppy, I was able to tell my husband back in New York that Mexico had just been hit by a strong earthquake and there was talk of buildings collapsing. Even before energy was restored in our local office, and less than an hour after the earthquake, I had already received from my sister in San Diego videos from a high rise in downtown Mexico City showing the smoke around the city, confirming building destruction, a video of rocky waters in the tourist area in Xochimilco, and even a video of a building as it collapsed live. Too much news, too soon, amid the memory of a fatal experience on the same day, September 19, commemorated two hours earlier with a national evacuation exercise, contributed to a general psychosis.
Whatsapp and the Facebook app to mark yourself safe in disaster, contributed to establishing quick connections with family, friends, co-workers and clients. I couldn't reach home as the traffic in Mexico City collapsed and public transportation was affected, but I had learned from clients that their properties and employees were safe, and with the help of colleagues in New York, we were able to inform our clients' stakeholders. The information traveled fast, much faster than anyone could even tell…
Facebook played a major role in informing people of the location of collapsed buildings, including an interactive map with shelters, collection centers and services, exact locations where tools and first aid products are needed, mobilizing people to help and understand donation needs, organizing civil brigades throughout the city to remove debris to find survivors, along with publishing a list of hospitals, restaurants and shelters offering services. Technology has helped find people trapped in buildings as they texted friends or families with exact locations to be rescued. Information traveled so fast that people started adding the time of the day to posts to avoid crowding at sites where there was already enough help and aid. People connected with friends in Mexico and around the world. News from Mexico also traveled fast around ther world, and aid from Chile, Japan, Israel, Salvador, Honduras and US started arriving within a day.
Those of us who were only suffering from post-traumatic stress felt relieved that our families or friends were not directly affected, but Mexico was hurting. We all are. We feel sad, and scared of an aftershock. In 1985 many buildings that resisted the initial earthquake fell the following day with the aftershock. Every one of us not in the street helping, or trying to locate friends and family, was watching rescue labors on TV. We were glued to social media and the TV, trying to understand the magnitude of the damage and the casualties. This time, media played a role in processing the tragedy; we watched and read to understand the earthquake's location, intensity, type, the possibility of an aftershock, the types of cracks on walls to understand if their was structural damage or just cosmetics.
Sadly, the media also played a role in augmenting collective psychosis and proved a platform for fake news. As communicators, we have a civil responsibility to our audiences. This tragedy has allowed us to see the good side of humans working to remove debris for days, even in the darkness of the night under a storm, to collect and organize food and goods, to open shelters for those who lost everything, but it has also shown the dark side of some people and institutions. The saddest story broke almost after 48 hours after the earthquake. Everyone was following day and night the rescue of a girl buried in a school that collapsed. Many had been rescued, but the story of "Frida Sofia" remained a topic of conversation and the main story that ran in many TV channels despite the fact that over 45 buildings had also been destroyed. It created such an echo that correspondents from many newspapers around the world visited the site to follow the news. Today, after two days of continuous labor to remove debris and finding ways to get into the building, we learned that it was all fake news. There was never a Frida Sofia, nor there had been contact, or oxygen and water introduced to support her as efforts progress to rescue her… Why? Are TV ratings enough to support fake news and discredit other media that has proven invaluable to deal with a natural disaster? Was this a power struggle between media and the government? We will probably never know, but fake news served as a distraction to create a parallel reality.

Getting Real with Shadra Bruce
Winc is not like other wine-of-the-month clubs. In fact, it starts out with an online questionnaire, where they ask about your taste in coffee and dessert to help match you to the right wines. They use the six questions to help assess your unique taste, then send wine specifically customized to your taste. As you rate the wines you receive, they use those ratings to further refine the selections that come in future shipments so that your wines only get better with time (which, of course, is how it is supposed to be with wine).
The wines arrived in a sturdy box.
Winc delivers four wines per month. Each bottle is customized to your taste preferences and bottles start at $13.
The four bottles I received were exceptional. What I like best, though, are the emails they send with suggested wine pairings and new insights about wine that make me feel like I'm learning more.
Winc is not your traditional wine club, instead, they are a direct-distribution global wine company that personalizes the entire wine experience to ensure that you have that great glass of wine you are after.
Not only that, but they are perfecting how wine is made, distributed, perceived. and purchased via their Palate Profile quiz that recommends wine based on your unique tastes.
It takes the hassle and guesswork out of picking a bottle from your local liquor store and delivers the perfect bottle directly to your doorstep.
Winc offers 4 personalized wines each month. Bottles start at $13 each. However, new members can enjoy $22 off of their first month of Winc's monthly wine subscription.
MomsGetReal was provided with the first month of wines for review purposes as a US Family Guide partner. View our review guidelines and disclosures here.
You must be 21 or older to participate. Always drink responsibly.

Pinterest serves as our go-to inspiration site for so many things — dreamy beauty looks and cool home decor are just two that come to mind. But for, er, hair down there? Nope. Though, that's not going to stop mega-brand Schick.
The company is releasing the new Schick Quattro for Women TrimStyle, just in time for bikini season, and has launched a Pinterest campaign called "Prune for June."
But don't worry, it's not what you think. Before everyone starts pinning pics of their pubes (because, you know, ew), Schick is actually inviting ladies to pin topiaries and other images, erm, inspired by their bushes for a chance to win a cool $2,500. A team of bloggers, who flaunt their own preferred pube styles on the contest page, have been given the hilarious job of picking the best pinner and five runners-up, who will each win $1,000 American Express gift card.
This will certainly be a surprise on our Pinterest feeds, but hey — sometimes, a girl's gotta trim. (The Cut)

The graph is also called the context of the statement. It is used to store some information about each triple
Every graph in Nepomuk is given a unique uri which is of the form nepomuk:/ctx/uuid. The ctx over here is an abbreviation for context.
The first obvious question is - When are graphs created? Is everything just added into one big graph?
Nepomuk works by creating new graphs for each atomic operation. These operations are the ones defined by the DataManagement functions -
Each time any of these operations is called and new data is being pushed, a new graph with the current date time is created.
Graphs in Nepomuk store the following information -
Example -
rdf:type nrl:InstanceBase
nao:created 2011-07-30T11:34:19.587Z
nao:modified 2011-07-30T11:34:19.587Z
nao:maintainedBy nepomuk:/res/e2eb2efb-14ee-4038-ac24-698f916289b0
The nao:created and nao:lastModified properties are identical to those used in resources. Except for the fact that graphs are generally never modified. They are only created or destroyed.
Each graph has a type which depends on the type of data it holds. The 3 most commonly used types are -
Each graph contains a property called nao:maintainedBy which specifies which application created that data -
rdf:type nrl:DiscardableInstanceBase
nao:created 2011-07-30T11:34:19.587Z
nao:modified 2011-07-30T11:34:19.587Z
nao:maintainedBy nepomuk:/res/e2eb2efb-14ee-4038-ac24-698f916289b0
rdf:type nao:Agent
rdf:type rdfs:Resource
nao:identifier nepomukindexer
Each application is represented as a nao:Agent with the application name specified as the nao:identifier. This name is automatically determined via KComponentData and can be spoofed. Security was not one of our concerns.
Each triple may be maintained by a number of different applications. This information is valuable for the advanced DataManagement functions such as removeDataByApplication.

Kathryn Kessler
Name: Kathryn Kessler
Majors: Theater and Psychology
Graduation Year: 2004
Hometown: Edina, Minn.
What made you decide to major in theater?
I couldn't resist it. The department is full of extremely persuasive people.
Did you focus on any specific area of theater?
I loved acting most of all, but thanks to the liberal arts requirements of CSB/SJU, I learned about all aspects of theater: history, drama form, lighting design . . .
What did you like best about the theater program at CSB/SJU?
The relationships I formed with older students challenged me to prove myself.
What was the biggest struggle you encountered in the program?
Trying to balance theater and non-theater life. The most valuable lesson I learned: don't live with other theater majors. You need to have a life outside the department to be a more balanced actor/director/stage manager/etc.
What kind of relationship did you have with your professors?
Years later we have spread around the country, but they are still my mentors, directors and friends.
How was the interaction between students in the CSB/SJU theater program?
Competitive, challenging, caring, instructive.
What advice do you have for students that are just entering the theater program at CSB/SJU?
Educational theater is so unusual in that it's more about the process than the product. I loved that. Use this time to learn, to explore, and to make bold new choices.
Did you study abroad?
Yes, and it was one of the most important choices I made in college. I learned how to travel, how and when to be frugal, how to make friends, how to lose friends, how to miss home, and how to take chances.
What are you doing now?
- I work at Edina High School as the program supervisor for academic support – a liaison position where I get to use some counseling, some social work, some accounting, and some hip hop dancing – for students who come to Edina from the Minneapolis school district.
- I perform at Comedy Sportz in Uptown Minneapolis on the weekends.
- I am a part-time photographer of weddings and children.
- I do theater whenever I get the chance. I've just applied for a McKnight Theater Fellowship Grant, so I'm waiting to hear about that.

Originally intended as a short story, it has been expanded due to encouragement from fans and my family. Leen is a spunky girl who has attracted the attention of a boy, Glen. Since only women are allowed on Leen's home planet for most of the year, Glen puts on a dress and calls himself "Glendora" so he can be close to the girl he loves. How long will his true identity be a secret? Before I forget, this comic reads from left to right, to conform to the English language. Enjoy.

The walk took me through Bastakiya, the original part of Dubai that's being 'preserved' by the Municipality.
I'd been in Old Town at Burj Dubai the day before and as I walked through Bastakiya I was comparing the two areas in my mind, and remembering what the old parts of town had been like when I was first here in 1977.
I always carry a little pocket digital camera with me, so I'd taken some photographs in Old Town and I took more in Bastakiya.
I've been rummaging through the few 'old Dubai' shots I have with me - the majority are in store back in Oz - and I'll start with a couple of those, taken in 1978.
Looking across from Deira, it used to be like this:
In both Bur Dubai and Deira there were still plenty of the old buildings, complete with their windtowers, barjeel in Arabic. They were a kind of air-conditioning system, long before electricity was available. They caught the breeze and directed it down into the house.
Narrow alleyways and sand rather than paved footpaths, easy to walk on though because it had been trodden down so hard over the years.
The buildings were basically mud walled, reinforced with lumps of coral. Some of that has been preserved in the renovated Bastakiya, but only in small patches:
Some of the restoration work looks almost authentic:
But a lot of it doesn't. It's all too neat and tidy, there's far too much very obvious concrete, the footpaths are very modern, even in the narrow alleyway sections:
And a lot of it looks, well, modern:
In a strange way the brand new Old Town at Burj Dubai almost feels more authentically old than Bastakiya:
The old buildings presumably couldn't be renovated and preserved, they weren't bult of material that would lend itself to that. But I think it's a shame that the final finish on the buildings, the veneer, doesn't look older, doesn't look more like the original buildings. The modern paved walkways could have been much more like the original alleyways too.
Having said that, it's still an area well worth a visit. There are plenty of interesting little art galleries, museums, restaurants for example, all housed in the recreated buildings. In that sense the Municipality has done a great job, it's a fascinating area to spend time exploring.

A lot has happened over the last couple of years changing the landscape for Flash, particularly when it comes to mobile devices. There was a point not so long ago where there was a clear resurgence and major platforms prominently advertised Flash Player support - those days are no longer.

This year there are no official parties at the conference. It's rather mingling at the hall of the Brighton Dome for a few hours and then people spread out all over the town. Most had no problem finding the myHotel bar or other good locations. After a good day 1, we were looking forward to the next one but we were hoping not to meet a closed door at sessions this time.

BANNER ELK, N.C. --- The Lees-McRae College men's soccer team put on a tremendous display of grit and heart on Monday night, battling back from an early 1-0 deficit against Carson-Newman College to send the match into extra time, before an errant cross found its way into the back of the net to give the Eagles a 2-1 win on Tate Field.
Lees-McRae (0-3) outplayed Carson-Newman (2-1) for much of the match, outshooting the Eagles by a 22-13 margin in the contest, including an 11-5 advantage in the second half. The tilt proved to be a tightly contested and physical affair, with the sides combining for 24 fouls and five cautions.
Scott Alford (Hillsborough, N.C.) led the way for Lees-McRae with a goal on six shots, including a trio on frame, as freshman Jordan Wright (West Lothian, Scotland) was a constant threat on the attack for the Bobcats with seven attempts at goal. Senior goalkeeper Thomas Rusling (Sheffield, England) made a trio of stops for the Bobcats.
Ross Frame paced the Eagles with a goal and an assist, as Matheus Bachi added an early strike and Kristian Speake chipped in a helper. Marius Staalby attempted a team-high three shots, as Rumwald Le Guevel tallied five saves.
Carson-Newman got off to a flying start in the seventh minute, taking an early 1-0 lead when Speake flicked on a Frame cross, finding Bachi in prime position for the finish just outside the six-yard box. The Bobcats nearly pulled level five minutes later, when Alford's blistering strike was pulled off the line by a defender.
Alford continued to be a massive on the attack, forcing a skillful save by Le Guevel in the 17th minute. The Eagle keeper then made perhaps the stop of the match in the 36th, denying Wright's equalizing bid with a superb diving stop to send the Eagles into the interval with a narrow 1-0 advantage.
The Bobcats wasted little time resuming their attack in the second half, continuously pushing forward in search of the equalizer while holding the Eagles without a shot through the period's first 15 minutes. Lees-McRae would find the equalizer with just seconds left in the 61st minute, knotting the match at 1-1 when Wright played a perfect ball in behind to Alford, hitting his fellow forward in stride before Alford sent a curling strike into the far corner for his first of the season.
Both sides renewed their respective attacks with increased urgency following the equalizer, making seemingly endless and relentless pushes forward in their quest to break the deadlock. The Bobcats nearly netted the winner on multiple occasions throughout the final 10 minutes of regulation, with perhaps the best opportunity coming on a free header by Alford that narrowly missed the post off a cross from Matthew Cureton (Waxhaw, N.C.).
Alford nearly netted the winner just 25 seconds into extra time, sending a curling strike just inches left of the woodwork from the top of the area. The Eagles would snatch the victory just over two minutes later, when Frame's intended cross for the back post took an unexpected slice, sailing just over the keeper's outstretched arm and into the far netting for the extra time winner.
Lees-McRae returns to the pitch on Wednesday when the Bobcats travel to Wingate, N.C. to take on No. 10 Wingate University in a Southeast region showdown at 7 p.m.

Great job, Oval! And going back to that photo of the sign-up sheet in Canada, where he had what was possibly the Final Five, we had a Grace & Jo____ and a Joanne & Mic____, so assuming that is true, then I think both those teams might be in the Final Five!

I was able to catch a few things today in between studying for exams. It's not super extensive, as it's just bits and pieces of information and evidence, but hopefully this will help: At Harbour Green Park, I noticed several two-person kayaks (it was difficult to tell how many there were but it looked like 5), which would fit in with the tweet regarding teams "running down Denman with paddles and life jackets." I was only able to catch one team (male/female NOT GRACE AND JOSEPH) there, who were possibly the last team. There were people packing up after they left, including one camera man (I'm not sure if they were production or some news channel) who was getting shots of the boat flags. They left the area around 11:30am and went up to Hastings St. I'm assuming they hopped into a taxi as I had lost them after walking up Bute St. I did manage to see something blue in their hands (Route Info?). I then headed up to Grouse Mountain, where I found some teams heading up/down the tram. At about 1:20, a male/female (GRACE AND JOSEPH)team came out of a tram. I overheard the female yell to their taxi driver something like "this is the finish line," which I'm assuming was the Pit Stop for this leg of the race. I overheard a woman and her kids saying something about Crab Park, which may have been the Pit Stop location. This team had some problems with money (they didn't have enough) but left Grouse within 10 minutes. I'm not sure if they begged for money when they entered the Starbucks or not. During this time, a male/female (NOT GRACE AND JOSEPH) team had just arrived at Grouse Mountain. (They may have been the team I saw leaving Harbour Green Park earlier) The other team I saw was a female/female (EMILIA AND L_____)and they had just got off the tram at about 1:30-1:35. As they were running to the taxi, I spotted one of the teammates holding a red Roadblock clue (Grouse Mountain=Roadblock). After the female/female team left, I stayed for ~20minutes but nobody else came down during that time. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stay any longer to get a glimpse of the other teams or head out to Crab Park. I was able to get some pictures but some aren't that great due to the distance and angle.

NHL Game Night: 3-4-14 Lightning at Blues
Tomorrow's a big day.
Ben Bishop allowed 3 goals on 28 shots for the loss. Hard to be upset with Ben when the team in front of him allows the Blues to stickhandle at will through the slot.
First Period
7:08 TB Killorn (15), (Purcell)
14:49 TB Johnson (18), (St Louis, Hedman)(PP)
Second Period
3:32 STL Berglund (11), (Schwartz, Tarasenko)
17:04 STL Oshie (15), (Steen, Pietrangelo)(SH)
Third Period
3:47 STL Steen (29), (Backes, Oshie)
19:21 STL Tarasenko (19), (Backes, Schwartz)(EN)
I'm not even going to look at the standings right now, because it's irrelevant if the Lightning don't fix what they're doing right now. On the one hand, they had 2-0 leads in 3 of the 4 games of this road trip and had a 1 goal lead going into the Third Period of the other. So, they manufactured situations on the road where they should have been able to get a fair number of points. That said, the defensive zone coverage looks like a dumpster fire and that contributes to the Lightning's pretty poor possession performance on this road trip. That manifested itself in the form of just 17 shots tonight. You can't win that way.
Tomorrow's a huge day. It's trade deadline day, obviously, and the gigantic hole in the Lightning's defense has never been more obvious. Radko Gudas' play has tailed off the past couple of months and with Gudas hurt tonight, the situation got even worse. I'm of the opinion it's management malpractice if Steve Yzerman doesn't at least get an established bottom pair NHL defenseman tomorrow who can fill in on the second pair on nights like tonight when one of the top-4 are out hurt. Ideally, he'd get a legit top-4 who can also give the Lightning's shaky PK a backbone.
Also, Steve Yzerman has another doctor's visit with a view toward being cleared for Thursday night. The PP tonight actually looked decent until they absolutely wet the bed on Oshie's SH goal. But, in general it's been poor, and Stamkos should go a long way to fix that. As he settles back in, hopefully he'll also give the Lightning the not-so-secret weapon of being able to get a great individual effort goal at opportune times. They could've used that tonight after falling behind 3-2.
Nikita Kucherov had 1 shot in 10:45. Honestly, that might've been the least noticeable he's been in a game all season. He is now just 2 games from graduation from prospect status on the site.

Two rescued from sinking yacht off Westport shoreline
Two people were rescued from a sinking yacht Aug. 3 after it struck a reef about a mile offshore of Westport near Cockenoe Island.
Marine rescue crews from Westport, Norwalk, Darien and the U.S. Coast Guard raced to the scene shortly after a Mayday distress call came in at 4:30 p.m. from the 36-foot yacht Old School out of Black Rock Harbor in Bridgeport, according to a statement from Westport police Lt. John Pitoniak.
Westport Marine Police were first on the scene and removed the two passengers of the 1978 Trojan yacht. The passengers were not identified and Westport police said they are continuing to investigate the incident, Pitoniak said.
The emergency responders were unable to plug the leak to keep water from rushing into the yacht, but they were able to keep it afloat using pumps to remove the water.
Two boats from Sea-Tow, a private marine salvage and towing company, towed the boat to the nearby Norwalk Cove Marina, while Westport police and Norwalk fire crews continued pumping out water. Once the boat was brought in to the marina, it was lifted out of the water using a sling lift at about 6:15 p.m.
There were about 100 gallons of diesel fuel on board the yacht, and Norwalk Deputy Fire Chief Edward Prescott said emergency crews were able to prevent an environmental incident from impacting area shores and maritime industries.

China wants remote control for video sites
Censor extends reach
The Chinese regulator of broadcast services is looking to extend its patch to include web-based video services.
The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) is looking at new regulations to include online video sites. Although technically covered by existing laws, changes are expected because SARFT is asking for feedback before any changes are made.
SARFT has already set up three monitoring sites in Beijing, Guangdong and Shanghai to look at video content online.
It is believed officials are acting to counter a recent spate of parody videos mocking senior Chinese figures and news readers.
At least one China-based site is already applying for a licence, according to Interfax. ®
