Traveling can be extremely stressful so having the right outfit on can make or break the entire flight (Trust me, I did NOT wear the right thing on my flight to South Africa). One of the best pieces of advice I have received about flying is keep a clothing piece or accessory that has the ability to keep you warm. The three outfits I have chosen to talk about does in fact follow this advice.
Instead of blabbing on and on, let's just get to each outfit!
No. 1
The first outfit is for all those who absolutely need to be comfortable. Pairing a simple cami tank top, cardigan, and leggings with comfy combat boots will make for the ultimate travel friendly outfit. The cardigan is used to keep you warm on the cold plane and is perfect for the colder months when arriving and leaving the airport. It's simple yet efficient.
No. 2
Number two is more for the warmer months out of the year. The comfortable plain t-shirt is nicely paired with dark denim shorts and simple sandals. The statement scarf has two functions. It is an extremely fashionable accessory that can complete any outfit and can act as a light blanket to keep the traveler warm. This outfit is perfect for those who are fashionable but want to keep it simple.
No. 3
Last but definitely not least, the third outfit is for those who really want to make a statement. Wearing a maxi dress is the perfect way to cover your legs and to keep them warm, not have to actually wear pants, and be extremely stylish all at the same time. Pairing this with an adorable denim jacket will complete the look, while giving you the option to keep you warm if you're too cold.
All of these outfits can be nicely paired with simple or statement jewelry that can complete an entire look. Not too sure where to get the perfect jewelry? Check out Rocksbox! It's a monthly subscription box that gives you three pieces of designer jewelry on loan, like the Kendra Scott Earrings pictured above. You can get your first month entirely free with no obligations by using the promo code "earthtokacexoxo"!
These are just three of the many outfit options for traveling. I firmly believe it is extremely important to feel stylish and beautiful as well as being comfortable, because it can really affect your flight.
I hope you enjoyed this short little post I decided to whip up! Let me know what your favorite travel friendly outfits are in the comments below! Talk to you when I'm back from the Big Apple (expect a blog post all about it)!

The estimated cost of two special elections and a lawsuit filed against Mission Viejo by a city council member is virtually the same amount as the city's current budget shortfall of $510,000.
The two special elections — one for the recall of former Mayor Lance Maclean and one for the Right to Vote initiative coming up in June — are estimated at a total cost of $473,000, according to City Manager Dennis Wilberg.
Additionally, Councilwoman Cathy Schlicht filed a lawsuit against the city over the ballot argument against the "Right to Vote" initiative, which City Attorney William Curley estimates will cost about $40,000.
The grand total is $513,000, $3,000 more than the current budget shortfall.
The deficit will affect city services like storm drain cleaning and city park maintenance. According to a staff report on the midyear budget review, storm drains are going to be cleaned less frequently, and plants in city parks will see less replacement.
The reality is not lost on city council.
"City staff went painstakingly through the city budget," said Mayor Patricia Kelley, in reference to the additional cuts staff made because of the extra costs.
Dale Tyler, a proponent of the recall and one of the authors of the Right to Vote initiative, said the cost of the special election for the initiative was the city council's fault – because they didn't pass it when it came before the council.
Schlicht defended the special elections, calling them a "right of the people."
"If you don't like the initiative process, then go to our state assembly or Sacramento and have them do a constitutional amendment," Schlicht said.
She also complained that the council always brings up the cost of removing Lance Maclean, but never the costs he incurred as Mayor, like $400,000 for a rose float. Schlicht was off in her number – the OC Register reported that $300,000 was set aside for the Rose Float in the 2007-09 budget.
"Who knows what else he would have spent in the future," Schlicht said.

I stopped taking federal money in 1994. I realized that government was huge and out of control and thought that anyone taking federal money was on the dole. It finally dawned on me that I too was on the dole as a physician accepting Medicare money. This money, after all, ultimately comes from a taxpayer stick-up by Uncle Sam. But to be frank, the federal government made it easy for me. When I started practice in 1990, Medicare paid me about $1100 for the anesthetic management of an open heart procedure (about 3 to 4 hours of my time depending on the surgeon). When the Harvard cretins came up with the RBRVS (resource based relative value scale) the government took the opportunity to "stick it" to the hospital-based physicians (anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists and emergency room physicians). Our reimbursement was cut in half. One year later….ready?….they cut that in half. The last open heart anesthetic I did was an extremely difficult case that took about 6 hours due to many unsuccessful attempts to wean the very sick patient from the bypass machine…he eventually did well. Medicare paid me $287. The last anesthetic I gave for a Medicare patient receiving a knee replacement paid me $78. This kind of reimbursement for my work made it easy to leave this work behind. I must at this point pay homage to the people that helped me see the light and eliminate Medicare from my practice: Dr.'s Lois Copeland, Michael Schlitt and Jane Orient.
To the point: the federal government is an unreliable and bankrupt customer. What I mean is that doing business with Uncle Sam is a risky proposition at best and is becoming even more so. Not long ago the latest "F" series fighter jet contract was jeopardized by the failure to increase the debt ceiling and come to a budget deal in Washington. Maybe it's time for military and other vendors to realize what physicians have known all along. As a customer, Uncle Sam is an unreliable bill-payer. If the physician experience with Medicare is any indication, this will only get worse. Cuts in pay are a constant threat and Lord help any physician that makes an innocent mistake on a Medicare claim. Jail time and bankrupting legal proceedings have become common-place.
Lockheed is planning on selling 30-odd "F" series fighters to Iraq (wait?…aren't we still at "war" with them?). Maybe Lockheed has figured out they need to sell their planes to folks that are reliable and have the money. As a physician I welcome Lockheed and any others that recognize the increasingly futility of dealing with Uncle Sam as a customer.

Player Note Examples
I'll start off by saying that everyone should take player notes at Party Poker. Don't know how to take notes? Just right-click on the avatar (picture) of the target player and click "Player Notes" - it's that easy. The hard part is figuring what to take notes of however. So that's where I'll try to help.
Here is a template of my player notes:
(Tricky/Good/Ok/Poor) :: (Tight/Semi-Tight/Loose)/(Maniac/Agg/Solid/Caller/Passive) :: (PSER / NO PS) :: (BLUFFER!)
(Tell descriptor)
Bets: (Draw / Top pair / TP weak kicker / Mid pair / Low pair / trips, etc)
No Bets: (Draw / Top pair / Mid pair / Weak kicker / Low pair, etc)
PR: (Cards) NOPR: (Cards) TRN: (Cards)
p: (Cards)
This is my overall view of the player when I need to take a quick look and figure them out. You should usually only note this down after many hands, when you have got a good sense of whether or not this player is a complete moron (poor) or card shark (Good/Tricky/Solid). This is most useful actually after you've left the table and meet this person again somewhere down the road. This piece of information alone will give you a good idea of how to deal with this person.
A very important note to take down when you need information. Tight players are those that are selective about their hands and won't see too many pots or showdowns. Loose players are the opposite and will play many hands. So for example, when a tight player is in the pot with you and is raising what seems like rags on the board, you should start to get a hunch that they're either holding complete crap or have a monster like trips waiting for you. For poor players however, they could quite likely have paired the rags. If there are high cards on the table however, a tight player will more likely to have paired, while the poor player is more likely to not have paired, or is holding a weak kicker.
This is the demeanor of the player, which combined with how Tight/Loose they are, should tell you *a lot* about their hand strength. Maniacs are people who bet everything under the sun and bluff at all sorts of pots. Agg means aggressive, which doesn't necessarily mean bluffer, but this person will bet with any kind of strength, be it a draw, low pair, mid pair, Ace high and so on. Solid is a player who plays the game straight up, meaning they'll bet strong cards and fold when they are weak or have nothing. Callers are those who don't bet often, but will call many bets and raises to the river. Passive players are Callers who just never, ever, ever bet. So, an example combination would be Loose/Caller, which should tell you this guy is going to be in the pot with you with just about anything, so you shouldn't always be afraid if he calls your raise. If you have a Tight/Solid player however, then any bets or calls from this guy could be a warning sign for you.
Short for "Pot stealer" or "Pot shooter". This means this person will bet at the pot when it's been checked to them and they are in late position. I find this specific piece of information very useful, because while many players just don't bluff, many players do like to try and steal the pot in this situation. Players who consistently do this, you can setup with a check-raise trap or even a check-raise bluff. A lot of times when you also want to make a call, this is important information when you want to know if someone is just trying to steal the pot or actually has strength.
This is an optional tag that I don't use often, but when I do, it means this player is a major bluffer and needs to be called down when there is ANY shred of doubt. A number of players will *always* raise/re-raise a trip or flush threat (among other things) to try and scare people out. These players need to be called or raised if you have any kind of strength (although that said, watch out for players with stronger hands calling the bluffer too).
(Tell Descriptor):
I don't have anything written for this field for most players, simply because in my opinion, tells are a bit overrated than what they actually are. Especially in online poker. That being said, some players *do* have tells that will give their hand away. The most common descriptors you'll see in my notes are simple and to the point:
- PAUSE = MONSTER (a drawn out delay means this person has the nuts or close to it)
- AUTO = MONSTER (auto means they use the 'Raise anything' button that bets out immediately)
- CR = MONSTER (cr = check-raise)
Note that I will only write these tells when I'm pretty darn sure after seeing this behavior enough times. If I'm not sure, I'll add a (?) to the end of it and verify it later. Otherwise, I don't want to fold a hand when I'm not really sure if they have the nuts or not. But otherwise, when I do have this tell, I know to basically fold when the person does this.
Bets: (Draw / Top pair / TP weak kicker / Mid pair / Low pair / trips):
This is getting into the fine details of this person's behavior. This is where you specifically write down what kinds of hands this player bets with. Does he only bet with top pair, or with low pair and mid pair too? What kind of kicker does he bet with? (very important!). By tracking these, you can then figure out what category of player this person falls into (Agg/Solid/Caller/Passive).
No bets: (Draw / Top pair / Mid pair / Weak kicker / Low pair, etc):
Exact opposite of the above, you can also tell a lot about a player by what they're *not* willing to bet. Are they the type to just check on the flop if they have trips? Do they not bet their flush/straight draw? Will they not raise with a King high flush? Little notes like these can give you a fine aspect of this person's game.
PR or PF (Cards):
Short for "pre-flop raise". Also referred to as PF. What I list after PR is the actual hands I see this person pre-flop raising with. This is usually very important information, because you will always stand to lose the most money when you hold a dominated hand. And most of the time, you won't know if you're dominated until you flip those cards over. Because most people only raise strong cards pre-flop, you can tell with varying degrees of success how powerful your opponents' cards are. A large group of players will only raise three hands: AA, KK and AK. If you can catch onto this and note it down, the next time they PR, you'll know to fold your hand quite quickly, even if you're holding a hand like AJ or possibly even AQ - which will save you lots of money in the long haul. Versus a hyper-aggressive player, if you notice them raising pre-flop with K2o, you'll also be well prepared to call their PR if you hold ATo or another moderately strong hand.
NOPR or NOPF (Cards):
Short for "no pre-flop raise", the exact opposite of the above. Why mention this? Sometimes, there are players who never raise AA, KK, AKs, QQ, JJ or many other strong hands. Then suddenly, they'll bite you on the flop with some unexpected raises. By recording this information down, you can possibly tell if that person is hiding something strong that they didn't let anyone know about pre-flop.
TRN (Cards):
Short for "Train" as in the locomotive. I use this metaphor when someone will pretty much bet these hands to the river without any hesitation or thought; when they've already decided before the flop what they plan on doing. This is not a compliment. What this usually indicates is that this person will over play certain hands because he/she thinks they are strong and can just force people out of the pot. A common theme is marking people as "TRN: AK", which means they will bet big-slick like there is no tomorrow, even if they don't pair on the river. I also use it when they train a draw, like "TRN: flush draw", as many people seem to fall under that category.
p (Cards):
Short for "plays". This is a listing of what kind of cards this particular player will play. An example would be "p: 95o,A5s,23s.." and so on. This is useful because a quick look at your notes will tell that this player is a garbage collector, as opposed to another player with the notes "p: ATs, KQ, AJ, TT..". An important thing to mention is to ignore the players in the big and small blind when taking notes on what hands they play, since they'll automatically be playing those hands for the most part.
Other acronyms I use when taking player notes also:
- RR: Raises (Example: RR top pair)
- RRx: Re-raise multiple times (Example: RRx flush draw)
- (Cards)*: Usually this means they'll play this hand when it has been raised (Example: "p:TT**" means they'll play TT even with two raises pre-flop)
And finally, some pointers when taking notes:
- Don't directly insult players in your notes, it'll make you play worse against that person
- Following the above, don't take notes after a bad beat, calm down and make a note later
- Don't be so excessive about your note taking that you miss out on the action
- Don't always take notes when people play good cards (KQ, QJ, KJ, etc). Everyone plays good cards, it's a given.
- If it can't all fit on the notes screen, it's not going to be useful in a pinch.
- Don't worry about keeping your notes neat and tidy. I try but often fail. As long as it's useful, it's good.
Anyhow, that's pretty much my system of player notes. Don't think of this as a defacto standard; this is just what I use and what works for me. If you have no system, hopefully this will get you thinking to what kind of things you want to jot down when you play.

Nov 1787 - Apr 1789 The Shadow of Tyburn Tree tells the story of Roger Brook–Prime Minister Pitt's most resourceful secret agent–who, in 1788, is sent on a secret mission to the Russia of that beautiful and licentious woman Catherine the Great. Chosen by her to become her lover, Roger is compelled to move with the utmost care, for if it was known that not only was he spying for two countries but also having an affair with the sadistic and vicious Natalia, he would meet certain death. The story moves to Denmark and the tragedy of Queen Matilda, to Sweden and the amazing ride of King Gustavus to save Gothenborg, and finally back to England where Roger returns to the arms of his one great love, Georgina..

Simple and elegant new WA site:
girlnetic commented
Finally, after months of hard work, my website is complete and I wanted to share it with other WA users/developers for feedback. Check it out at http://www.girlnetic.com .
We are a membership-based and events centric organization and for the past couple of months have been researching to find the best option for us to help manage our organization. At first was hesitant on using the WA platform because it was still missing some functionalities that are important to our website, i.e. more advanced blogging feature. I only decided to use WA when I came across dotCreativity http://dotcreativity.com Web Design Services who worked on integrating WA to our current website, customization and developing some of the missing features we required for WA to work for us. Believe it or not, our website is Wordpress and WildApricot combined! I'm SO happy with the result--everything is exactly how I want/need the website to be--and highly recommend dotCreativity http://www.dotcreativity.com to anyone looking to do more with their WA website!! I certainly will be!!

Dmitry Buterin commented
Thanks for sharing! Nice look, simple and elegant.
By the way, you might want to explore Theme Overrides for even deeper customization if needed:
OEDK commented
We were able to change the template enough to match the templates used by the whole university: http://oedk.rice.edu
I am working on learning more CSS options to challenge the site even further!
Instead of "members" we have used the profile pages to highlight our engineering design projects.
So far so good. Customizable profile pages would be ideal...looking forward to some upgrades!
rgorga commented
I know this is a late response, but I really like this site. I would love to know how they designed the custom header, navigation bar, and footer. I assume the designer used themes overrides but any insight or tips on how I could do something similar would be greatly appreciated.
Dmitry Buterin commented
This is a nicely designed Yoga site:
rochelle morris commented
Hi Dani,
I would love to know more about how you developed your rotational banner.
rochelle morris commented
That site development looks awesome
I'd love to see some more new ones if people will share
Jess Horton commented
I like the way http://www.dfwima.org uses the login. How can I do that? What customization steps should I do to implement this into my site?
I love the top corner piece as well, the "Become a Member" triangle. How can i do this as well? THANKS!
Jess Horton commented
I love the setup of this site. Is there anyway to share in the customization done on this site. I have had issues with the drop down menus staying in site, taking up precious room, this would eliminate that problem all together for me. I like how it drops the top menu to the side, allowing for non-intrusion of the web page itself.
http://www.spec.bc.ca has my vote on best design around the drop down menu. And the site looks Great!
Jan commented
I love your login box treatment. Are you willing to share how you implemented?
Thanks in advance.
Matthieu commented
This organization is using both - if you look at any member-related or event pages you'll see it's using Wild Apricot for those functions:
* http://dfwima.wildapricot.org/member-benefits/member-application.html
* http://dfwima.wildapricot.org/events.html
Frank commented
Actually this is a good example of integrating a Word Pres site with Wild Apricot. You'll notice this once you click on the become a member icon (top right) and then view the source of that page :)

Our Doctors
Dr. Griffin graduated from the University College Dublin, Ireland in 1995. He did an internship at the Royal Veterinary College, London in 1996 and an internship at The University of Pennsylvania in 1997. He completed his surgical residency at Penn in 2000. Dr. Griffin passed his ACVS board certification examination in 2001. He was a lecturer in surgery at Penn before joining the staff of the Regional Veterinary Referral Center in 2001. Dr. Griffin is the author of several scientific and review papers and textbook chapters. He lectures regionally on topics related to surgery and surgical oncology. He is especially interested in surgical oncology, minimally invasive surgery, joint replacement and orthopedic surgery.
Dr. Anderson graduated from the University of Tennessee, College of Veterinary Medicine in 2000. As a student she received an award from ACVS for proficiency in surgery and was president of SCAVMA. She then completed an internship in large animal surgery at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. In 2002, she completed an internship in small animal surgery at Veterinary Specialists of Rochester. Dr. Anderson completed her residency in small animal surgery at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. In early 2006, she passed her ACVS board certification examination. She has authored several journal articles, the most recent of which deals with prognostic factors for successful outcomes for patients with urethral rupture.
Dr. Anderson became certified in Veterinary Medical Acupuncture in 2014 and since then has treated numerous patients for both musculoskeletal and neurologic conditions. She finds that acupuncture can be a very good addition to traditional medicine in improving the quality of life for many animals where traditional medicine may not be sufficient.
In the surgery department at The Regional Veterinary Referral Center, we believe in providing care of the highest standard for our surgical patients. It is also important that the pet owners are well-informed and comfortable with the treatment and decisions regarding the surgical procedure their pet may require.
All the staff members in our hospital are caring and compassionate, making the stay in the hospital as comfortable as possible for both your pet and you. During the initial consultation, your pet will be examined by one of our board certified surgeons. The examination will be followed by a discussion about your pet's problem and the surgical treatment; this will allow us to make a decision together as to what is best for your pet.
Our goals are to:
- Support the veterinarians in the Washington, DC, Virginia and Maryland area through a team approach to referral surgery including pre and post operative care.
- To provide state-of-the-art surgical care for all our patients.
- To serve as a referral center for the treatment of cancer in pets. To this end, we work as a team with our medical and radiation oncologist to plan the best available combination of treatments for our patients.
The initial consultation usually lasts about 30 minutes, but additional time may be needed if X-rays or other diagnostic tests are required to aid in our decision making or surgical planning.
Surgery, if indicated, is usually performed the same day. Expected costs, risks, possible complications and prognosis will be discussed with you prior to surgery. After surgery, you will be contacted by the surgeon to discuss the surgical findings and how your pet is recovering from the procedure.
At discharge from the hospital, both you and your referring veterinarian will receive a copy of the discharge instructions and referral letter. Your veterinarian will also be mailed digital photos of the surgical procedure for their records.
- Fracture repairs, using plating, pinning and external skeletal fixation.
- Cranial cruciate ligament repair, extra-capsular techniques, tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) and tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA).
- Total hip replacement.
- Arthroscopic joint surgery.
- Other orthopedic procedures.
- Neurosurgery for intervertebral disc disease.
- Laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery.
- Thoracic surgery.
- Gastrointestinal surgery.
- Hernia repairs.
- Urinary tract surgery.
- Upper respiratory tract surgery.
Here at the surgery department at The Regional Veterinary Referral Center we have a sub-specialization in surgical oncology. Dr. Griffin has a special interest and extensive experience in surgical oncology.
Cancer in pets traditionally evokes thoughts of a terminal untreatable disease. However advances in veterinary surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy allow excellent care and hope for pets with cancer. Through our team approach to cancer treatment we can achieve a cure in many patients and marked improvement in quality and quantity of life in most others. Early detection and aggressive therapy is the key. At the Regional Veterinary Referral Center we can achieve "clean margins" (complete removal of the tumor, including microscopic portions), and subsequently cure the local disease in 95% of our surgical patients.
- Pre-surgical biopsy to determine the prognosis and the surgical dose required for cure.
- Complete staging of the patient using radiography, lymph node biopsy and other imaging. We have a CT scan in house which helps us to better determine the extent of local disease.
- Aggressive surgery using the appropriate dose. Dr. Griffin and Dr. Anderson's experience in surgical oncology allow a cure of local disease in many patients without being overly aggressive, thereby reducing post-operative complications.
- Marking and assessing surgical margins. This is the best predictor of local recurrence of the tumor and helps determine if radiation therapy or further surgery is needed. We achieve clean surgical margins in 95% of patients on which we operate.
- Radiation therapy or repeat surgery if margins are incomplete. We have a linear accelerator at our hospital for performing radiation therapy with minimal side effects.
- Chemotherapy for potential metastatic lesions. We have a medical oncologist and an internist with a special interest in oncology who can help your pet with chemotherapy if needed.
- Wide excision of feline vaccine associated sarcomas.
- Canine soft tissue sarcoma removals.
- Limb-salvage surgery for osteosarcoma in cases that would otherwise require amputation.
- Thoracotomy for lung tumors.
- Abdominal tumor removals.
- Maxillectomy and mandibulectomy for tumors of the oral cavity.
- Perianal tumor removals.
- Skin and muscle tumor removals, including skin flap or skin graft for wound reconstruction.
Veterinary Medical Acupuncture is offered as an adjunct to traditional medicine. Western medical acupuncture is a therapeutic modality that involves placing needles in various locations in the body using current knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology and the principles of evidence based medicine. It is commonly used to treat chronic arthritic, neurologic and musculoskeletal conditions that are not being adequately treated by standard therapies such as surgery and medication. It is often used in conjunction with physical therapy for these conditions. Many other medical conditions can be treated with acupuncture as well. Each animal is examined and an acupuncture treatment plan is based on the specific abnormalities present.

Similarly, if you happen to can solely purchase a couple pieces this summer season when it comes to accessories, go for an important pair of mules (there are so many superior kinds to choose from in the marketplace now) and a wicker or straw bag. I'm telling you, each gadgets are summer season classics, so store around and invest in pieces that can be sturdy and stand the check of time, because you're going to wish to wear them again… and again. Cult Gaia is undoubtedly the most popular of the bunch proper now, however you will discover really cool options beneath or even at your local thrift or consignment shops. And when all else fails, hit up Etsy for a dope circle bag.. you're welcome. The Victorian ultimate of morality based on financial success tied self identity with consumption. As mass manufacturing increased the availability of products the producers of those items wanted new prospects. Via promoting vogue magazines and shops enticed a materialistic culture to need novelty, luxury, and ornamentation. You may also need to contemplate a function built storage system to your bracelet and charms, to maintain them safe and taking a look at their best. All of this, and Kandi remains essentially the most humble of the group. Kudos to her for retaining her head on straight!
I think of retro as being near the outdated fashion, but with a contemporary twist. Classic is actually the outdated product or design. Model Tip 2: Dressing up or down, denims can work wonders each ways. Group a denim shirt with a skirt Add some metallic jewellery/accessories to rock a denim-look at evening. This 7.9 inch lengthy sterling silver Pandora bracelet would make a wonderful starter bracelet, prepared so as to add the charms of your option to. I chose painter's tape slightly than masking tape as a result of it's low-tack and less prone to leave a residue on the l leather-based after it's removed. I tried each Scotch Blue multi-use painter's tape and green FrogTape brand painter's tape. Each labored properly to mask off areas from the paint, such as the heels and soles of my sandals, but the Scotch Blue Painter's Tape was simpler to remove.

by Michael Cunningham and Connie Briscoe.. After I turned the president of Spelman Faculty in 1987, I was the primary African-American lady president in the 107-year history of that black ladies's faculty. Additionally outstanding is the fact that final 12 months I became the first particular person of coloration to chair the board of United Manner of America. I was additionally the primary girl to sit down on the board of directors of Coco-Cola Enterprise, the most important bottler of Coca-Cola. So what do you be taught once you're on this position of being the first? The first thing I hope you be taught or know is that many other black girls are additionally qualified to carry that position, so don't get too hung up on your self. Second, you better know that your duty is to make sure that although you are the first to hold the post, you should help to guarantee that you are not the final.

Bold Aspirations for the University of Kansas
Dear Faculty, Staff, and Students:
It's launched!
Don't miss it! You can view the full version of our Lawrence-Edwards strategic plan — entitled Bold Aspirations — on the boldaspirations.ku.edu web site, where you can also find the university overview and the KUMC plan. The full version is also available in individual sections.
This strategic plan represents nearly a year's dedicated work of over 160 committee members, plus the efforts of well over a thousand participants across the KU community in the form of strategic initiative nominations, department meetings, focus groups, surveys, and discussions. The planning effort drew upon the insights from the chancellor's earlier three task forces and previous campus discussions.
As our state's flagship university and its only member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, KU's mission is to lift students and society by educating future leaders, building healthy communities, and making discoveries that will change the world. Our vision is to elevate KU into the top tier of public international research universities. We will realize that vision by raising the expectations we have for ourselves, the aspirations we have for our state, and the hopes we have for our world.
Focus upon six strategic goals
It's all about focus.
While we are a comprehensive university, there are specific areas where we can and must improve. Each of the six goals in the strategic plan is focused in a particular way to achieve our bold aspirations. In undergraduate education (goal 1), we will focus upon pathways to KU, through KU, and onward to a successful career. A new core curriculum will be the centerpiece that opens up a world of experiences for our students. In graduate education (goal 2), we will focus upon the integrity of our highest degree — the doctoral degree.
In research (goal 3), we will complement our traditional disciplinary strengths by exploiting multidisciplinary synergies. Our four strategic initiative themes will provide avenues to combine our collective expertise to tackle society's grand challenges. In service (goal 4), we will focus upon broadening our avenues for scholarship, including those that make direct contributions to society, such as entrepreneurship, K–12 innovations, corporate partnerships, and community-engaged scholarship.
Our focus upon excellence in people (goal 5) will be enhanced through recruitment, development, and retention. Finally, we will focus upon developing our infrastructure and resource base (goal 6) by being good stewards of state funds via the Changing for Excellence initiative and by raising new resources via our comprehensive fundraising campaign, Far Above.
Moving forward
This strategic plan is a guide that, when implemented with full resolve, will drive a transformation of our university. A small team led by Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Sara Rosen has already begun to coordinate the overall logistics and implementation. It will work closely with university governance to discuss ideas and actions. It will chart our actions and time lines, monitor progress via a collection of key metrics and comparisons, and communicate regularly with the KU community. To ensure greater success, each school will develop and implement its own more specific strategic plan, intrinsically aligned with the university's.
With the objective of renewing general education, six "satellite committees" are currently working with Chris Haufler, special advisor to the provost, to develop learning outcomes that will expand and elucidate the six educational goals identified in the strategic plan. These goals and outcomes will constitute the foundation of the new KU Core Curriculum. Next semester, a representative faculty committee, formed with input from university governance, will begin the process of crafting the actual curriculum. The new curriculum ultimately will include courses and experiences that students may choose from to meet our educational goals, and it will provide students the flexibility to benefit from significant opportunities such as study abroad, research, internships, and service learning. We will pilot elements of the new curriculum as they are developed starting next fall.
Each of our four strategic initiatives will be launched by a university-wide all-day summit to be held in The Commons:
- Sustaining the Planet, Powering the World, Friday, November 18, 2011.
- Promoting Well-Being, Finding Cures, Friday, December 2, 2011.
- Building Communities, Expanding Opportunities, Friday, January 20, 2012.
- Harnessing Information, Multiplying Knowledge, Friday, January 27, 2012.
Please mark those dates and plan to attend all those that interest you. Each summit will include stimulating presentations in the morning and activities at lunch and in the afternoon to engage the KU community, build networks, plan for external funding opportunities (and the necessary leadership) to enhance available resources, and examine priorities for infrastructure investment and faculty hires.
We are embarking upon an exciting chapter at KU. The chancellor and I look forward to working with you as we collectively realize our vision as a top-tier public international research university.
Rock Chalk!

Reverse-Temporal Messaging
So me and my roommate Tim perpetrated the most awesome prank ever a few days ago. Roisin Bulger checked her email on Tim's computer and forgot to sign out. So Tim began sending messages to Roisin. From herself. From the future. Roisin is the most gullible person I have ever met or heard of, and she fell for it completely, especially after reading the Wikipedia article on how this is a rather common occurrence. I'd written the article, entitled "reverse-temporal messaging" explaining how 50 or so years from now, Dr. Bulger will invent this process using Tachyon particles, and begin sending messages to her past self. It was my finest hour. The best part was her freaking out so much that she had to sit down, exclaiming, "This is SO freaked out. How did I do this? Dr. Bulger!? I'm not even very good at math!" Stephen and our compatriots played along beautifully too, impressed by her hidden (future) talents in theoretical physics. I'm a very bad man. And no, the Wikipedia article was taken down. :(

[j:c)] I'm a romantic antiquarian; My first cameraphone was the best i ever had.
I want to play that game so much. You have no idea how much I miss being able to play video games. :(
Does it rock as much as everyone says it does?
Yar. It's just beautiful and simplistic. There is *literally* nothing else to do except slay giant beasts (which isn't very hard) but you can do that and roam the amazing landscape for ages. Your horse is best thing ever aswell- you'll wish you had one in real life! If you liked rez, and being able to just pick up and play for half an hour, then you'll like this. Just totally chillsome.
Oh yeah and the graphics are AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGG
...by PS2 standards.
which are hardly towering. :)
Boo and phooey.
maybe so, but imagine how awesome this would look on the 360, or the PC...
I wonder if the PS3 will be backwards compatible with PS2 games?
LOL, your reply makes it sound like I actually just said something intelligible to you!
What's cool about it is that at all points in the game, even cut scenes you can control the camera angle which makes for a more interesting cinematic effect- you can sort of pan up and down and frame the shots hbow you want. Blatantly I'd like to see this game with even more amazing graphics but as some MMPORG. That would be cool.
BTW do you play any MMPORGs? Just innarested to know what's out there/what's good/what's not etc. Or any massively multiplayer game - I basically just want to have a stab at that. Mario Kart on the DS sounds cool for that kinda thing.
I can't play video games, they hurt my spazzy hands too much. :(
If I did, I'd probably be playing an MMORPG of some kind though. I like MMORPGs. I like RPGS. I like most kinds of games.
You want to get a DS Lite (out soon!) and a copy of Animal Crossing, that's what you want to do. :)
ps3 will be entirely backwards compatible
in fact it will be the greatest thing on this earth ever ever ever.
Final fantasy VII remade - yes please
Resident Evil 5
but more importantly
Ooh cheers for that. FFVII remade? Fantastic. If only they'd remake secret of mana!

PhD (Communications) , 2003
MA (Communications), 1992
BA (Communications, Sociology and Anthropology), 1989
In September of 1973, Dr. Bob Everton was one of thousands of Chileans and foreign nationals who were detained at Santiago's National Stadium as part of Pinochet's coup. Everton barely escaped the firing squad.
According to Carmen Aguirre, Everton's stepdaughter and author of Something Fierce: Memoirs of a Revolutionary Daughter, the experience shaped the rest of his life.
"Bob never expected to escape the stadium alive — and he wouldn't have if the Canadian embassy's cultural attaché hadn't intervened. The fact that he did survive solidified his commitment to supporting the Chilean resistance movement and countless Chileans in the Vancouver community," says Aguirre.
Everton was recognized locally and internationally as a tireless social and political activist. He completed a PhD at SFU's School of Communication, where he also worked as a sessional instructor, in 2003. He passed away from a heart attack in 2004.
Everton's work helped to create compassionate government at home and abroad regardless of the risk to his life. Following his return to Canada from Chile, Everton organized a cross-Canada caravan to Ottawa's Parliament Hill.
"They held a sit-in and succeeded in pressuring Trudeau to give asylum to Chilean refugees. It was the first time Canada had done that for a 'third world' country with a right-wing dictatorship," says Aguirre.
But Everton wasn't done yet.
Posing with Aguirre, her mother and sister as a typical middle-class family, Everton returned to South America to run a safe house for political dissidents during the Pinochet regime.
"We were living in Bolivia and running a safe haven for dissenters who were coming and going from Chile. Bob mapped and guided people through one of the driest deserts on earth — by foot. If he had been caught, he would have been lucky if he was only shot," says Aguirre.
After they moved back to Canada, Everton continued his activist work, supporting nearly any cause that asked for his help. Aguirre says that the evidence of Everton's impact on the Vancouver community was apparent at his funeral.
"There were hundreds of people there and it was a complete cross-section of society. Zapatistas, feminists, students, First Nations, Palestinians, Iranians — they were all there because he had contributed to their movements," she says.
One of the people Everton affected was Dr. Enda Brophy. Brophy, now an assistant professor with SFU's School of Communication, was an undergraduate student when he first met the tireless teacher and activist.
"I took Bob's Political Economy of Communication course, and the experience was truly transformative. Bob taught us about politics and economics, and how crucial they were to understanding the media. He really encouraged me to keep exploring," he says.
Brophy explains that Everton's commitment and passion to not only talking about, but also living the subject he taught, inspired him to pursue a career in the discipline.
"My last memory of Bob is running into him at the Quebec Summit of the Americas in 2001. I had spent all day there in the heat being teargassed and was on my way to take a bus back to Ottawa but Bob grabbed me and said 'C'mon, we're going back to the fence!'" he says.
In addition to the School of Communication's still-vibrant focus on political economy, Brophy explains that Everton's legacy lives on in his own teaching practice.
"Fifteen years later, I'm now teaching the same courses I once took with Bob. I try and transmit to my students the same encouragement and enthusiasm that I learned from him about the importance of understanding and changing the world," he says.

Today, December 4th, is the first ever World Wildlife Conservation Day as decreed by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
To view her statement please click on State Department
It's encouraging to learn that the State Department is becoming more involved in the global war against poaching, but I feel that rhinos and elephants are already teetering on the edge of an abyss.
That said, I noticed when I clicked on www.wildlifepledge.org and scrolled to the bottom of the page that various conservation oganizations have partnered together to stop the atrocities against wildlife.
My concern is that several of these organizations seem to be more focused on parties, political posturing and shuffling bureaucratic paperwork then seriously pursuing wildlife crimes…
In the end, I hope that the State Department and these organizations can once and for all put aside politics and posturing to actually work together ending the poaching holocaust before the last vestige of wildlife slips into eternity.

I tend to surround myself with incredible, out going, intelligent women.
As of late I have been a part of conversations that always end up with the same conclusion: I am afraid.
Why are we afraid? What are we afraid of? How is this fear stopping us from living a complete and happy life?
Daily I hear women talk about wanting to start their own business, start a blog, etc. Along with these dreams I also hear the doubt in their voices.
"I want to start teaching yoga, but…"
"I want to apply for this job, but.."
"I want to ask him out for drinks, but…"
"I want to lose weight, but…"
This confidence gap that stands between us and our dreams reminds of the infamous glass ceiling. Always trying to reach it, but never really getting there.
Is it our rational minds that brings us back and reminds us that we can't follow our dreams because we need to pay the bills? Is it because we are afraid of the sound of our own voice? Are we afraid that someone with more education, certifications, etc. is going to call us out in front of colleagues? Is it biological?
How do we close the "confidence gap" and realize that our dreams and fears are valid and still cross this threshold that keeps holding us back?
What are you afraid of?
Take the quiz below and asses your confidence level

AUSTIN, Texas—All eligible St. David's HealthCare facilities were recently honored with an "A" for patient safety, ranking them among the safest hospitals in the U.S. according to The Leapfrog Group, a national patient safety watchdog. The new Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades assign grades of "A," "B," "C," "D" and "F" to hospitals nationwide and provide the most complete picture of patient safety in the U.S. St. David's HealthCare is the only hospital system in Central Texas to receive the top rating at all eligible facilities.
St. David's Medical Center, St. David's North Austin Medical Center and St. David's South Austin Medical Center, as well as St. David's Round Rock Medical Center and St. David's Georgetown Hospital received an "A" rating. Heart Hospital of Austin's data were not included in the study completed by The Leapfrog Group because it is considered a specialty hospital.* These St. David's HealthCare facilities were among 844 hospitals, nationwide, to receive an "A" ranking. St. David's Medical Center and St. David's Georgetown Hospital have both received straight "A" ratings since The Leapfrog Group launched the Hospital Safety ScoreSM initiative.
"We are pleased to be recognized for our efforts to provide patients with the highest-quality care," David Huffstutler, president and chief executive officer of St. David's HealthCare, said. "This distinction is a testament to our doctors', nurses' and staff members' commitment to creating a safe healthcare environment."
Developed under the guidance of an Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 30 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign "A," "B," "C," "D" and "F" grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals twice per year. It is calculated by top patient safety experts, peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public.
"Protecting patients from harm is the most important charge for any hospital," Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group, said. "We recognize and appreciate 'A' hospitals' vigilance and continued dedication to keeping their patients safe."

St. David's HealthCare
With more than 110 sites across Central Texas, St. David's HealthCare includes six of the area's leading hospitals and is one of the largest health systems in Texas. The organization was recognized with a Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 2014. St. David's HealthCare is the third-largest private employer in the Austin area, with more than 8,700 employees.
St. David's HealthCare is a unique partnership between a hospital management company and two local non-profits—St. David's Foundation and Georgetown Health Foundation. The proceeds from the operations of the hospitals fund the foundations, which, in turn, invest those dollars back into the community. Since the inception of St. David's HealthCare in 1996, more than $269 million have been given back to the community to improve the health and healthcare of people in Central Texas.
The Leapfrog Group
Founded in 2000 by large employers and other purchasers, The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization driving a movement for giant leaps forward in the quality and safety of American health care. The flagship Leapfrog Hospital Survey collects and transparently reports hospital performance, empowering purchasers to find the highest-value care and giving consumers the lifesaving information they need to make informed decisions. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, Leapfrog's other main initiative, assigns letter grades to hospitals based on their record of patient safety, helping consumers protect themselves and their families from errors, injuries, accidents, and infections.

"Artur Schnabel played the classics with the energy, wit, and spirit of a great jazz pianist. This is a uniquely engaging survey of this body of work, and Naxos offers it at budget pricing."
BEETHOVEN: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 (Schnabel) (1932, 1935) 8.110638
BEETHOVEN: Piano Concertos Nos. 3 and 4 (Schnabel) (1933) 8.110639
BEETHOVEN: Piano Concerto No. 5 / Cello Sonata No. 2 (Schnabel) (1932) 8.110640
the recent Naxos edition deserves recognition—its bargain price and superior sound, the transfers by Marc Obert-Thorn being the best I have encountered. A welcome bonus on the third disc is another superb transfer featuring Schnabel and Piatagorsky in dashing account of Beethoven's Sonata op. 5/2 for cello and piano. © 2001 Fanfare Read complete review on Fanfare
On two important counts, the recent Naxos edition deserves recognition—its bargain price and superior sound, the transfers by Mark Obert-Thorn being the best I have ever encountered.
"Little can be added to what has been written about these seminal and vital recordings since their initial appearance nearly 70 years ago. What's more, many collectors undoubtedly know Schnabel's Beethoven concertos from previous LP and CD transfers, and perhaps even the original 78s. Yet I envy listeners who are about to experience the Schnabel/Beethoven combination for the first time.
You'll be struck by the incredible energy level of the pianism, the jazzy rhythmic distensions, the unconventional stresses and phrase shapings. What may sound mannered and wilful the first time around, however, usually stems from what Beethoven asks for.... Naxos of course offers the same performances with fine transfers at less expense in individual disc releases (the remaining two volumes are forthcoming). One should note that the Pearl and Naxos releases offer superior sound quality to the deleted Arabesque and Dante Lys Schnabel/Beethoven concerto transfers."
"The passage of time hasn't eroded the impact of these vital performances one iota since they first appeared in the early 1930s. Modern listeners, to be sure, might judge Malcolm Sargent's accompaniments as being too casual for comfort in their frequently loose chording, held-back brass and slurpy string portamentos. Yet Schnabel's contributions are intensely inflected and unfailingly alive at every turn. More often than not, gestures that sound unusually striking or quirky are simply explained by what Beethoven indicates in his scores. In the first concerto, for instance, Schnabel takes the slurs in the Rondo's main theme on faith, and, in the Second Concerto, adheres to Beethoven's long pedal marking in the Adagio's seraphic coda. The pianist's "safety last" credo perhaps is best exemplified in his playing the First Concerto's longer, more elaborate first movement cadenza. Few modern pianists have matched Schnabel's roguish brio in the Second Concerto's outer movements...
"Many collectors will welcome Naxos' budget-priced individual releases as an alternative to Pearl's complete set of the Schnabel Beethoven Concertos. The main question is how Mark Obert-Thorn's transfers for Naxos compare with Seth Winner's for Pearl. On Naxos, the orchestra sounds less strident, warmer, and fuller of body. On Pearl, Schnabel's piano tone gains in detail, sharpness of accent, and dynamic contrast. The differences are particularly telling once you A/B both transfers of Schnabel's 1932 "Für Elise," a more deliberate and carefully sculpted rendition than the pianist's more familiar 1938 traversal. Naxos offers best value for your money."

How to Turn Off the Alarm for the Chrysler Town & Countryby Jeremy Ruch
According to Chrysler's user manual, the Town and Country alarm system is designed to protect against "unauthorized entry" and prevent the ignition from being turned by an unauthorized key. The alarm is designed to emit a loud sound and flash the vehicle's lights for a period of three minutes. After that, lights will continue flashing for another fifteen minutes but the sound will stop. It is also possible to manually trigger the alarm by clicking the "Panic" button on your key fob.
Step 1
Check your surroundings. If you are at a distance from the car, make sure you understand why the alarm has been triggered before disabling it. There may be circumstances in which the alarm should continue to sound to deter criminals and alert bystanders, especially if someone is trying to break into your car.
Step 2
Press the "Panic" button on your key fob. It is possible that you triggered the alarm by accidentally pressing this button, in which case pressing the button a second time should disable the alarm. Keep in mind that you may need to get closer to the vehicle to disable the alarm because of radio frequency noises.
Step 3
Press the "Unlock" button on your key fob. This should disable the alarm if it hasn't been triggered by the "Panic" button.
Place your key in the ignition, if all else fails. Doing so should automatically disable the alarm.

File photo of walkers in America's Greatest Heart Run and Walk in Utica who get water from a water cooler set up in front of Our Lady of the Rosary outside of Utica College.
(File photo by Jennifer Grimes)
Utica, NY -- New Hartford High School senior Ben Sklar was born with congenital heart disease 18 years ago, but surgery corrected the problem when he was just 3 days old.
Sklar has led a normal childhood, playing on his school's football and lacrosse teams. He runs on the cross country team. And he's participated in the Boilermaker road race.
For the last seven years, he's also done what he can to give back.
Team Ben had raised more than $75,000 for the American Heart Association going into this year's America's Greatest Heart Run & Walk in Utica. With 200 people on his team this year, Sklar hoped to raise another $10,000.
Although the total amount raised isn't known yet, Sklar's team gave back in a way they never thought possible during Saturday's run/walk.
A 66-year-old man on the ARC Team had walked past Ben Sklar and his father, Dr. Bradley Sklar, and a group of nurses, most of whom were on Team Ben.
Courtney Daviau, a registered nurse who works with Dr. Sklar, said she saw the man -- later identified by state police as 66-year-old Michael W. Wofford -- collapse a half-mile from the finish line, near the intersection of Burrstone Road and Washington Drive in New Hartford. Wofford, of Glenfield in Lewis County, had suffered a heart attack during the heart walk, state police said later.
Daviau ran to help. Another registered nurse, Julie Smith, was a few feet closer and had yelled she thought maybe the man was having a seizure. Then Smith and Daviau leaned down and opened his mouth to check his airway. Daviau said she rolled the man over and noticed he had stopped breathing and had turned blue.
By this time, Brad Sklar, a Utica doctor who specializes in gastroenterology, said he saw the commotion and came to help. He started 30 deep, rapid compressions to the man's chest as his son stood nearby, watching. Daviau then gave the man two mouth-to-mouth breaths. Smith counted aloud and another registered nurse, Tammy DePerno, ran to get supplies, and alerted troopers Adam Ferstand and Daniel Krajewskian.
Ferstand grabbed an automated external defibrillator from his patrol car while Krajewski requested an ambulance via radio.
As soon as DePerno and the troopers returned with the AED, Dr. Sklar put the pads on the man and pushed a button to shock him. They checked for a pulse. There was none. Sklar and Daviau continued CPR, then shocked the man a second time. "It worked," Sklar said. "He had a pulse and he was moving his body."
Dr. Sklar, Daviau and paramedics rolled Wofford onto a backboard. Paramedics then rushed Wofford to Faxton-St. Luke's Healthcare Facility -- the same hospital where Ben Sklar was born 18 years ago.
Wofford was admitted to the intensive care unit.
The Sklars were happy to hear later that evening that Wofford was doing well. So well, in fact, he was getting ready to eat a meal Saturday night.
Both Dr. Sklar and Daviau said their team's quick response, along with following CPR protocol, is the reason why they were able to "bring this gentleman back with minimal problems," Sklar said.
"It was a team approach," he said. "The irony is the American Heart Association taught us to do CPR and here we are using it to bring back a life on the American Heart Association walk."
Dr. Sklar said he's glad to give someone a second chance because his son also was given a second chance.
Within 20 minutes after Ben Sklar's birth, a nurse in the nursery noticed he had turned blue. He was taken to Crouse Hospital in Syracuse, where he had an emergency cardiac catheterization. Doctors performed a balloon septostomy. "They ballooned open the connection between his right and left atrium to keep him alive," his father said. Doctors in Syracuse diagnosed Ben's condition as transposition of the great arteries.
The next day, Dr. Brad Sklar manually gave his 2-day-old son "bagged" breaths using an ambu bag on an air ambulance plane. A cardiovascular surgeon at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City performed a "switch procedure" on Ben at 3 days old. That surgery switched Ben's pulmonary artery and aorta, and corrected the problem, his father said.
"We feel so fortunate," Dr. Brad Sklar said. "My son is alive because of cardiovascular research...
"And now we've come full circle," he said. "(Ben) raises money to help the Heart Association because they saved his life and now he feels he can help give back to his community and help other people with heart problems."
