National League for Nursing Calls on President Bush to Sign Bill that Will Help Address the Nursing Shortage

NLN president Dr. Elaine Tagliareni and NLN CEO Dr. Beverly Malone entreated President Bush not to exercise his veto of the FY 2008 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education spending bill that includes provisions to help reverse the acute and worsening shortage of nurses and nurse educators.

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 11, 2007

With the Senate and House clearing the FY 2008 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education spending bill for submission to the president, NLN president Dr. Elaine Tagliareni and NLN CEO Dr. Beverly Malone today asked President Bush not to exercise his veto of a bill that includes provisions to help reverse the acute and worsening shortage of nurses and nurse educators so that the nation's health care needs may be met.

Within this bill, Title VII and VIII of the Public Health Service Act provide funding for Advanced Education Nursing, Loan Repayment and Scholarships, the Nursing Faculty Loan Program, Health Careers Opportunity Program, Centers of Excellence, Area Health Education Centers, and public health programs.

"Reducing funding for programs under the umbrella of Nursing Workforce Development and Health Professions Programs is ill-considered in light of our aging population and nursing workforce. And they are critical to providing continued health services to underserved and minority communities," stated Drs. Malone and Tagliareni.

The NLN is the sole organization representing leaders in nursing education and nurse faculty across all the types of nursing programs in the United States, with more than 1,100 nursing schools and health care agencies, and 24,000 individual members comprising nurses, educators, administrators, public members across the country.

Editors and reporters: For interview opportunities, please contact NLN chief communications officer, Karen R. Klestzick, at 212-812-0376 or kklestzick@nln. org.

Dedicated to excellence in nursing education, the National League for Nursing is the premier organization for nurse faculty and leaders in nursing education offering faculty development, networking opportunities, testing and assessment, nursing research grants, and public policy initiatives to its 24,000 individual and 1,100 institutional members.

CUTTING EDGE SOFTWARE AND AETHER SOFTWARE TEAM TO OFFER HANDHELD COMPUTING SOLUTIONS FOR THE ENTERPRISE

CUTTING EDGE SOFTWARE AND AETHER SOFTWARE TEAM TO OFFER HANDHELD COMPUTING SOLUTIONS FOR THE ENTERPRISE

(PRWEB) May 20, 2000

DALLAS and VIENNA, VA…Cutting Edge Software and Aether Software, a division of Aether Systems (NASDAQ: AETH), two leading software developers for mobile professionals and enterprises, announced today the development of a conduit between Cutting Edge’s Quicksheet(TM) handheld spreadsheet application and Aether Software’s ScoutSync(TM), a powerful tool for connecting a company’s network server with its mobile workforce. The conduit will enable mobile professionals to wirelessly synchronize data to and from a network server directly into Quicksheet spreadsheets on Palm OS handhelds – enabling numerous custom solutions which incorporate data acquisition, analysis or display on a handheld device.

The Quicksheet-ScoutSync conduit, which is included as part of Quicksheet 5.0 which was released May 1, 2000, provides enterprises a tremendous level of flexibility to develop innovative solutions. For example, with Quicksheet 5.0 installed on Palm OS handhelds, combined with QuicksheetÂ’s ActiveX/COM objects and the ScoutSync conduit, it is possible to synchronize directly with any ODBC database from a Palm OS handheld. The conduit opens up a new realm of possibilities for in-house IT staff, as well as VARs, consultants and IT systems integrators, to develop custom solutions for their enterprise clients, including sales force automation, customer relationship management and inventory/asset control.

To demonstrate the potential benefits the Quicksheet/ScoutSync conduit has for numerous vertical markets, Cutting Edge and Aether Software will co-develop a series of demonstration applications.

One such application will be an Executive Information System, which will wirelessly deliver an instant sales report into a Palm userÂ’s Quicksheet application with data generated from a SQL Server database application.

"The immediate power and potential impact that this combination delivers to enterprise users of handhelds is phenomenal," said Jeff Musa, president of Cutting Edge Software, Inc. "For the first time, a wide range of custom solutions can be implemented for handhelds that

Synchronize at the server level and can be delivered effortlessly, wirelessly, and in a familiar spreadsheet format."

“Quicksheet has been the spreadsheet of choice for mobile users within a corporate enterprise, while ScoutSync has emerged as the industry standard for connecting mobile professionals to their enterprise network,” says Tom McDonough, senior vice president, worldwide sales, Aether Software.

“Combining the power of these two software products and giving corporations the ability to develop custom solutions are major steps toward the goal of fully empowering the mobile workforce.”

As part of the agreement, the two companies plan to cooperate on a wide range of sales and marketing efforts, including seminars, Web site links, co-marketing pieces and joint sales calls.

Sonlight Homeschool Education Results in Higher SAT Scores for Students that Applied for College

Sonlight Homeschool Education Results in Higher SAT Scores for Students that Applied for College

Students Applying for College Educated with Sonlight Curriculum Score Higher than Average on Standardized Tests

Littleton, CO (Vocus) November 9, 2010

Sonlight Curriculum, a leading provider of Christian homeschool curriculum programs, today disclosed data on Sonlight students’ performance on standardized tests at the high school level. While Sonlight does not gather numerical data on all students who use the company’s award-winning curriculum programs, all students who apply for Sonlight’s college scholarships supply the company with information pertaining to academic performance, including the results of national standardized tests like the SAT.

Since 2006, the average SAT score of homeschooled students applying for Sonlight scholarships has been 1924 out of 2400, nearly 17% higher than the national average. The winners of these scholarships, who were chosen not only for academic performance but also for exhibiting leadership, creativity, and other virtues, scored on average 2200 out of 2400, placing them in the 99th percentile nationally.

This announcement was made in conjunction with a recent Fraser Institute report entitled 'Home Schooling: From the Extreme to the Mainstream,' which details dramatic increase in home schooling families over the past two decades, both in the United States and in Canada. The national Center for Education estimates an increase of roughly 74 percent in American home schooling over the last ten years alone. According to the Fraser Institutes report, this increase in home schooling can be largely attributed to the growing availability of resources provided by state governments and by independent home schooling organizations.

Another contributor to the rise in home schooling is the troubled American economy, which has led to funding cuts for public schools. Many public schools struggle to offer quality education in the face of falling standards, and recent budget cuts in many states have only exacerbated the issue. Meanwhile, that same economic climate has made expensive private schools increasingly impractical and out of reach for many Americans, many of whom are looking to home schooling as an affordable alternative.

About Sonlight: Sonlight Curriculum is a Christian company specializing in literature-based homeschool curriculum programs. Based in Littleton, Colorado, Sonlight provides complete curriculum packages and individual resources for homeschoolers in over 150 countries worldwide.

About Fraser Institute: The Fraser Institute is an independent non-partisan research and educational organization based in Canada. The Institute conducts peer-reviewed research into critical economic and public policy issues including taxation, government spending, health care, school performance, and trade.

DOCTOR, Do we have a pulse?...™

DOCTOR, Do we have a pulse?...™

5{ ing is saddened today because of the passing of James Cantalupo, McDonald's (MCD) chairman and CEO. He died last Monday morning, apparently of a heart attack. He was 60 years young. Because of Jim's passing, this Press Release is in his honor.

(PRWEB) May 1, 2004

Imagine...just for a moment...

You are at work, head down in that all-important project your boss requested you to finish.

The phone on your desk rings. You put down your pen.

Picking up the phone; you hear your neighbor's voice on the other end.

You think, "this is strange" she NEVER calls me at work."

In a broken, nervous voice she says in a panic". Your dad had a heart attack.

You need to come to the hospital.

Right NOW.

The blood drains from your face. You start to shake.

A bead of sweat rolls off your forehead, slowly falling to the tabletop below.

You say to yourself, "This canÂ’t be happening. "He was in great shape".

You catch yourself. Why did I just say that?

What you meant to say was "He IS in great shape".

Your mind wanders.

"How, When, Where?"

The rest is a blur!

You don't remember the drive to the hospital.

You enter the lobby. Down the long hallway in the distance,

You see what looks like a doctor walking toward you.

His look

Is one youÂ’ll never forget.

Hi, this is Brad again, Editor of Crow Publishing and author of "Heart Attack Survivor - a field guide.

Have you seen it?

It's all over the news today.

There is no way it could have slipped by you.

It's been in newspapers, on TV, radio,

And in magazines.

It's the number one killer of men (and has been for years).

Now, it's the number one killer of women.

It is really scary to think that someone YOU know Or THEY know has had this happen to them.

Think for a moment: Do you know someone who is headed for a heart attack? They are very easy to spot. Their faces are red from anger. They have a tendency to be short - tempered.

How about when they get behind the wheel of their car?

Do they have road rage when someone cuts them off on the highway?

Imagine your friends, loved ones, or co-workers.

Is any one of them ready to "go Postal" in your work place?

How about when you all are standing around the water cooler?

Have you heard of someone who is "freak'n out far to often?

If you know anyone that might be "boiling" just below the surface, and is displaying the above traits, then you could be doing them a great (and possibly a life-saving service), by giving them the gift of "Heart Attack Survivor, a field guide".

In times like these, it's no time to be embarrassed.

What Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper said holds true today.

"It's much easier to apologize than it is to get permission".

If you feel so inclined, and know of someone that might benefit from learning techniques for lowering their stress levels, and possibly avoiding a heart attack, then please forward this email to them.

Readers that have praised this book:

Dick Butkus, NFL Hall of Famer and Chicago Bear Legend has

Graciously said about "Heart Attack Survivor.

"I picked up your book at Steve Thomas BMW last Thurs. Friday I had a flight from LAX to Pittsburgh and couldn't put the book down the whole trip! So much

Of the "stuff" one goes thru after an attack or even the 5 way bypass I experienced was dealt with in a very thought provoking manner. It is Sunday night and I have tried a few of the suggestions and can honestly say that there has been a change in my attitude in two short days. I have roughly 787 marbles to go!

Thank you for reminding me to make them all count".

Dr. Richard Carlson, Author of "Don't sweat the small stuff"

"Practical, helpful, and full of great life-affirming advice. Anyone with a heart, healthy or not, will enjoy this book!"

Ira Lovitch from Los Angeles.

"Like Chicken Soup for the Soul, Only Tastier!"

Candy Finn of Ventura

"I only wish there had been a book like this

When my dad had his heart attack".

For a moment, Just imagine...life without your family, your friends or

Your co-workers!

Please pass this on to someone you care about.

Thanks,

Brad
