What is asthma and what causes it?
What is the risk for other family members or future babies?
What treatments/therapies/medications are recommended or available?
How will my child and our family be impacted?
My mother smokes cigarettes when she visits our house. I have heard that second-hand smoke contributes to asthma, and I have a 5 year old son with asthma. Is smoking in another room in the house bad for my son?
The Questions and Answers that follow aim to provide an introduction to asthma for parents and other family members. Following those, we offer links to selected resources for more information and support and a list of valuable services.
Note that we use the term doctor to refer to physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other licensed clinicians who may care for your child.
More information about many topics relevant to children with asthma and many other chronic conditions and their families can be found in the left menu. Detailed information aimed at primary care doctors can be found in our Asthma module.
Asthma is a complex, recurrent disease of the airways that causes shortness of breath, wheezing, and cough (particularly at night or early in the morning). Asthma is episodic in nature and usually reversible, either spontaneously or with treatment. However, chronic inflammation, associated with persistent symptoms, may contribute to airway remodeling that may not be completely reversible. Asthma is one of three atopic conditions (asthma, hay fever, eczema) that appear to result from a combination of environmental and genetic factors.
Symptoms include cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and increased sputum production.
Initial diagnosis focuses on history and physical exam findings, spirometry, and exclusion of other diagnoses.
Approximately 1/3 of children with asthma will "outgrow" the condition by the time they are adults and these children tend to be those with milder asthma symptoms. Children who develop asthma after age 5 are less likely than those who did so before age 3 to have long-term residual effects. Although there is a risk of severe disease and death with asthma, this is increasingly unusual and the majority of children with appropriately-treated asthma function as well as those without asthma.
Asthma is one of three atopic conditions (asthma, hay fever, eczema) that appear to result from a combination of environmental and genetic factors, so although it runs in families, having one child with asthma doesn't necessarily mean that you will have another child with asthma.
Treatment for asthma depends on the severity of the condition and the ongoing response to medications. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, has published clear guidelines depending on the number and type of exacerbations experienced by the child. Some children will need occasional inhaler treatments; others will need to be on daily medications.
Children with asthma that is not well controlled may miss a lot of school causing parents to miss work. If this occurs often, the child should be seen by their primary care provider for alternative therapies.
Second-hand smoke can linger long after the person was smoking. The American Lung Association ties second-hand smoke exposure to the initiation and worsening of asthma in children. See Second Hand Smoke and Children (National Cancer Institute).

The historic Chambon complex won the award for Best Refurbished Building at the MIPIM Awards 2017 in Cannes on 16 March. The former headquarters of the Caisse Générale d'Epargne et de Retraite (CGER), located right in the centre of Brussels (500 metres from the Grand‐Place), has been fully renovated to respond to the growing demand for high‐quality accommodation in the heart of the capital of Europe.
The Chambon building complex, named after the Franco‐Belgian architect who designed the site's famous art deco U‐shaped building, is a collection of multiple buildings, some of which are architectural wonders while others are newly built. The complex has been seamlessly renovated, with a view to sustainability and versatility. While 60% of the Chambon consists of accommodation, studios, luxury apartments, investment properties and student rooms, it also contains office areas, shops and two hotels.
The developer IMMOBEL and the architects A2RC and Jaspers‐Eyers have given this emblematic complex – the former headquarters of the CGER dates from 1889 – a new lease on life, creating a complex that is a great place to live and work, which also features a large green space that can be accessed by occupants and local residents.
"Receiving a MIPIM AWARD in "Best refurbished building" is being unanimously recognized for the know-how and expertise we have in redeveloping emblematic and complex buildings." - told Rudi op 't Roodt, Technical Director IMMOBEL, and added: "Chambon has been a challenging warf but meets the city and the inhabitants expectations. On Cedet, we are working with the same rigour: exporting our know-how and implementing our best practice to deliver the very best building".
CEDET is a unique project of restoration and expansion of a historic building located at 50 Krucza Street – a modernistic pearl of Polish post-war architecture. Like Chambon, the CEDET building that combines retail functions and highest class of office space will consist of two parts: a carefully revitalized department store and a completely new building located at intersection of Bracka and Krucza streets.
"Because the reward that Chambon has received is another proof of our competence in revitalization, it is worth mentioning the earlier successes of our Polish projects. Okrąglak in Poznań, Being a symbol of the city, received the statue of Jan Baptiste Quadro, the most important architectural award of this region. Hence our belief that CEDET will be another IMMOBEL project, which will allow us to win the main prize in the "Best Refurbished Building" category at next year's MIPIM Awards" - told Bartłomiej Hofman, Managing Director IMMOBEL Poland.
IMMOBEL projects in Poland include well known adaptations and revitalizations of architecturally unique buildings such as Granaria project, located on the the northern headland of Granaries Island, which the developer leads in public - private partnership with the city of Gdańsk.


In the years past, just having a web presence was all you needed. That theory is now old school and no longer valid. Now, sites need to have an SSL certificate and be totally responsive.
It means that your site is going to respond to the size of the screen that it is being viewed on. Example: if you bring up your site on your computer, it probably fills the screen good enough. Bring it up on your phone or tablet…do you have to pinch and zoom to read the content? Bring this site up on your phone or table and you will see that the site actually responds to the size of your device and you do not have to pinch and zoom…it looks full screen and is totally readable. In English, it means that your site will work on all mobile devices without having to do the old fashioned pinch and zoom.
Can you take a site and convert it to be responsive?
Yes, but the amount of labor involved would cost you more than just completely redoing the site with new code.

The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America has existed longer than any other skilled trade because of its members' willingness to organize and fight for the rights of all Carpenters. The success of our union today depends on the participation of each and every one of our members. The actions you take today will have a profound effect on our Union tomorrow.
The Member Union Participation Program allows our carpenters to take part in highly visible activities that protect workers' wages and benefits. Every active member of Local 255 must fulfill his or her Participation requirement by volunteering up two days per calendar year in Council sanctioned events.
Members will receive notification of their randomly assigned participation dates and the Local will send each member a reminder call at least two days before the event.
Members may choose another Local 255 member to participate as a stand-in for a particular date and location. However, in the event the stand-in fails to participate in the scheduled activity, the assigned member will be held responsible for making up his/her assigned day.
Each member who fails to take part in this program during the calendar year will be charged a dues assessment. The assessments are not meant to be punitive, but are designed to underscore the importance of Local 255 members coming out and supporting their Union's activities.
The success of the Member Union Participation program depends on all members becoming visibly active in Union events. Our visible solidarity will send a strong message to public and private interests that carpenters stand united in our efforts to obtain more work opportunities, protect our area standards and increase membership for our Brotherhood.
Each member will be assigned two dates per calendar year. The member will be permitted to make up one assigned date. If the member has missed his/her assigned date, failure to complete the second assigned date will result in dues assessment as per Section 22 of the Council By-Laws.
A Council map listing all MUP hotline numbers will be provided to all members.
Local 251 members are subject to the guidelines outlined in Section 22 of the Council By-Laws and will manage its MUP program from assignments to assessments.
No more than one credited MUP will be issued per activity.
Any UBC Member working 99 hours within our council must complete 2 MUP's that calendar year.
Only MUP's performed within Local 255 will be accepted as credit for the requirements of the Membership Union Participation Program.

Basu: White House nightmare
Lately I've been having the strangest dream, in which every core value I hold as absolute is obsolete.
Basu: White House nightmare Lately I've been having the strangest dream, in which every core value I hold as absolute is obsolete. Check out this story on vcstar.com: https://www.vcstar.com/story/opinion/columnists/2016/12/26/rekha-basu-wake-me-my-white-house-nightmare/95775976/
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence joins Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at a rally in Westfield, Indiana, on July 12.(Photo: MICHAEL CONROY/AP)
Lately I've been having the strangest dream, in which every core value I hold as absolute is obsolete: The social compact between a people and their government has been replaced by an underground pipeline carrying resources from the least of us to the wealthiest.
Public service has become a means to personal enrichment. Instead of a leadership that serves the needs of the whole, the people serve the needs of an oligarchy.
Public institutions, in this dream, have been reconfigured not to further the aspirations of all but to consolidate the wealth with the wealthiest. Our work forces, schools, public lands and international alliances have become tools to that end.
Our nation's promise to protect the poor, the laborers, the locked out, the "huddled masses yearning to be free" has been replaced. Now those people draw straws to be on a game show and compete for a box of food, a minimum-wage job or a green card.
In the dream, these changes are announced in a series of insult-laden, self-congratulatory tweets containing a limited vocabulary.
I scan the faces of our top political appointees seeking reflections from all of our ancestors, white, black, Asian, Latino, native, bringing their respective stories and struggles and experiences to help shape policies. But the rainbow hue is replaced by a monochrome of billionaire men with silver spoons in their mouths.
When the president-elect does think of diversity, it's to suggest his businessman son-in-law would be a good person to craft Middle East policy because he's Jewish. And a former presidential contender, an African-American surgeon, has been tapped to head up the federal public housing agency, not that he has any expertise in that area.
This is how bad my dreams get: For Cabinet posts, instead of people who have dedicated themselves to public service and the study of solutions, we get titans of industry with deep vested interests in the outcomes of public policy on their holdings.
The Environmental Protection Agency will be headed by a man said to have built his career suing it — as Oklahoma's attorney general — on behalf of the oil and gas industries. The Labor Department would be run by a fast-food industry magnate who thinks $7.25 an hour is plenty for a federal minimum wage. He also thinks women in scant American-flag bikinis eating burgers aren't just good advertising for his company, but "very American."
Speaking of the flag, in one paradoxical dream, I could lose my citizenship for exercising my First Amendment rights to burn one in protest. But the next commander-in-chief apparently is OK with his nominee using one to sell burgers that is strategically placed over the same female private parts the president-elect has boasted of grabbing.
I should get my head examined. One of my dreams has a billionaire picked to head the federal education agency who would strip public-school funding by giving some of it to families to spend on private-school tuition. That would gut the notion of a good, accessible education as a means to better future prospects. Yet this appointee has called education reform a way to "advance God's kingdom."
In my twisted nocturnal world, the most important position for our relations with other countries — the one long used to negotiate trade and foreign-aid deals, advance mutual goals like human rights, pollution-reduction and poverty-elimination and prevent wars and genocide — will go to a Texas oilman. And not just any, but one who heads the world's largest publicly traded oil and gas company, and has a vested business interest in our Russia policy.
His company, Exxon Mobil, has billions of dollars in oil contracts with Russia, which can only proceed if U.S. sanctions against Russia are lifted. He has voiced support for ending them. He also has close personal ties to Vladimir Putin, now alleged to have hacked Hillary Clinton's emails to prevent her winning the presidency.
At the helm of the Energy Department, my dream places a climate change denier who once pledged to eliminate that very agency, though he couldn't remember its name. He opposes standards to lower carbon emissions, while getting paid lucratively to sit on the board of the company building the Dakota Access Pipeline. You know, the very one in protest of which native peoples from around the world have braved bone-chilling cold and attacks.
Unable to find peace in sleep anymore, I'm going to combat these dreams with a fantasy: These cynical truths about agendas and profit motives come out and get widespread attention. Democratic processes kick in, and senators from both parties join to say no to confirming nominees who have conflicts of interest with the agencies they would serve.
The American people rise up and say "No, thanks," to these transfers of wealth to the wealthiest, and the gutting of institutions and standards that protect our Earth and people.
But if all else fails, God Herself intervenes to say, "Not in my name, you don't."

An Ohio abortion clinic with a lengthy record of botched abortions put another woman in the hospital last week after the abortion procedure went awry.
An ambulance and fire unit arrived at Preterm abortion clinic in Cleveland at 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 5, Operation Rescue first reported Monday. The patient was fully covered with a sheet and photographed being transported from a gurney into an ambulance headed to the hospital.
The medical emergency is not the first mishap that women have endured at the Preterm clinic. The clinic has performed ten botched abortions since 2011, according to Abortion Stats 2018. A number of other medical emergencies have occurred at the clinic since 2015, according to an Operation Rescue special report.
Abortion patient Lakisha Wilson died during her abortion at the Preterm clinic in 2014. Wilson was 20 weeks pregnant and began hemorrhaging during the abortion, ceasing to breathe shortly after. The clinic waited for some duration before placing a call to 911, according to records from the Ohio Department of Health.
A number of complaints have also been filed against the clinic.
A number of other abortion clinics in Ohio have also been found guilty of serious infractions. Ohio's Planned Parenthood in Bedford Heights was fined $25,000 in July 2014 after 22 pages of violations were exposed. Violations included expired drugs and chemicals, aborted baby body parts in an unmonitored temperature container and incomplete medical records among others.
Preterm clinic did not respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation's request for comment.

- According to reports of the show, "Chester stopped 'With You' because two people fell down in the pit. He said roughly (translated from Italian): "The next day, all the news should talk of that show as a nice event where guys go to have fun and NOT a way to damage ourself". 'With You' was replayed again from the start.
- At one point during the show, Chester threw a bottle of beer to the crowd but the bottle smashed into the ceiling and fell on the stage.
- This was the first show in support of Meteora, which means it was the first time that 'Session,' 'Don't Stay,' 'Somewhere I Belong,' 'Lying From You,' 'Faint,' 'From The Inside,' 'Hit The Floor' and 'Easier To Run' were performed live. This show still stands as the largest debut of songs in Linkin Park history.
- 'Lying From You' from this show was released on the digital Meteora: Bonus Edition.

- For unknown reasons, all of the instrumental soundcheck songs with two guitar parts in them were performed without one of their guitar parts. 'Somewhere I Belong', 'Faint', and the first take of 'From The Inside' were all soundchecked without Mike's guitar part, while the second take of 'From The Inside' was soundchecked without Brad's guitar part.
- Brad, Phoenix, and Rob briefly played the Jeopardy theme song during the break between the 'Faint' instrumental and the first 'From The Inside' instrumental.
- In addition to the song being performed more substantially during the show itself, the guitar riff from 'A.06' was also played in between 'Lying From You' and 'Faint' during the soundcheck.
- Snippets of 'My Own Summer' by Deftones were performed at two different points, once between 'Faint' and 'From The Inside' during the soundcheck, and again right before 'A.06' during the show.
- Once fans were let into the building, the band played a shortened 'Don't Stay' prior to the "real" start of the performance.
- A brief snippet of 'Big Bottom' by Spinal Tap (mainly Phoenix playing the famous bassline and Chester singing the opening line of lyrics) was performed in between' Somewhere I Belong' and 'Lying From You' during the show portion.
- The intro to 'A Place for My Head' was played by fan request, but the song was aborted due to time constraints. After more fan requests two days later at the CD:UK/Headliners show, it was played in full.
- A second take of 'Somewhere I Belong' was attempted at the end of the show, but aborted because someone broke a string.
- Longstanding rumors claim that the band covered 'United States Of Whatever' by Liam Lynch at this show - this isn't true. Following the aborted second take of 'Somewhere I Belong', Chester and Mike made a couple references to the song (basically just saying something funny and ending with "and I was like...WHATEVA!!!!"), but the song wasn't really played.
- Mike was sick at this performance.
- Very few Linkin Park fans were at this show, but the LPU gave away free tickets to those who wanted to attend (as a part of "UK Week").

Comments: No interviews. Includes 'A Place For My Head.' Aired on March 29.
- At some point during the show, Chester said, "I got distracted because of how many people were singing along. Alright, it seems we've got some real fans in here today" while Mike said, "You guys are sick."
- Linkin Park played 'A.06' for the UK Linkin Park fans in attendance, after they shouted for it. This happened again for the same group of fans at the August 21, 2003 show at London's Kerrang! Awards.
- 'A Place For My Head' was unplanned. The band played it because some gear broke and fans had requested it two days prior at Top Of The Pops as well as at this show.
- Before 'One Step Closer,' Chester pulled a fan up from the front row. He said, "He's been singing every word to every song" before having him come on stage and sing with him.
- The exact setlist is unknown. Linkin Park played the five new Meteora songs they played at Top Of The Pops as well as 'A.06', 'In The End', 'A Place For My Head', and 'One Step Closer'. It is possible that 'A.06' is in the wrong spot on our setlist, but we are pretty positive the rest is correct.
- The LP Underground announcement about the show read, "Linkin Park will be performing in London, UK on 8th March 2003, for a TV show called CDUK and we have a limited amount of FREE tickets to offer Linkin Park fans and their friends. This exclusive recording will be taking place in Waterloo from approx 2pm to 5pm and all guests are required to be 16yrs+ (photo id will be required)."

- Before 'A Place For My Head', Chester said the fans brought him out of the "shithole" he was in earlier in the day. In December 2014, a review of the show was found from BBC with some interesting information about Chester: "Linkin Park performed at Rock City in Nottingham last night (Monday), despite the lead singer hurting his hand just minutes before going on stage. There were about 1000 fans there and the band played tracks from their new album 'Meteora' due out later this month. Chester Bennington, the lead singer, took his shirt off to show off his skinny tattooed body - much to the approval of the girls in the crowd. Ten minutes before the gig he punched the dressing room wall and badly bruised his hand. He had to keep an ice pack on it but told us he wasn't fazed by his injury:
"My hand doesn't matter, you can cut it off for all I care. As long as my voice works."
"If I lost all feeling from my neck down, if you could string me up and I could sing, I'd be there doing the shows."
"The fans come first and the shows come first too and that's all that matters to us. We really don't care about anything else except for the music and the kids.""
- This was a private show by BBC Radio 1. During "UK Week" (a promo for LPU members and LP fans) by the band, the LPU offered tickets to Nottingham, London, Top Of The Pops, Manchester, and CD:UK/Headliners. The Nottingham show was "event #2" on the list with no description (no date, time or location), but LPU'ers were allowed to enter for tickets and if they won, they were notified of the date, location, etc of the show. A small Meet & Greet was held before the show, but the LPU'ers were encouraged to enter to win M&G's for other shows in the UK that week, presumably to not fill up the Nottingham M&G with a lot of fans. To gain admission to the show, either you won tickets from the LP Underground or via BBC Radio 1.
- The announcement of the show by BBC said, "To celebrate the launch of their incredible new album 'Meteora', Linkin Park will be playing a gig exclusively for Radio 1 at Nottingham's Rock City Monday 3rd March. Lamacq Live on March 3rd will bring you a Linkin Park Special with a headline set, backstage interviews & reveiw live from Nottingham. All this week Jo Whiley, Lamacq Live, the Rock Show and Colin Murray will be giving away tickets on air on BBC RADIO 1. Your last chance to get hold of a pair of tickets to the gig will be on Saturday March 1st during Scott Mills show when Colin Murray will be roaming the streets of Nottingham looking for deserving fans to give the few remaining tickets away."
- The first public recordings of the new Meteora songs came from this show ('Don't Stay,' 'Somewhere I Belong,' 'Lying From You,' 'Faint,' and 'From The Inside') via the online webcast and the radio broadcast. 'Hit The Floor' and 'Easier To Run' were cut.

Comments: None.
- On 'Crawling', Chester went down to the front row of the crowd and put someone's glasses on in the front row for the song.
- It is rumored that the person that taped the three 2000 and 2001 shows at this venue also taped this show in video. No other details are known. There is also a review from the guy who had his glasses taken by Chester on 'Crawling' who says he saw a guy filming the show.
- Blindside posted on their website about this show, "At the famous Roseland Ballroom in New York City, the guys in Linkin Park invited Christian up to sing on their final song One Step Closer. It was a great moment for both fans and the band. Only a few shows have passed, but this tour has brought us to a whole new level. We want to thank Linkin Park and their amazing fans for making us feel so welcome."

General Hospital (GH) spoilers for the week of Monday, February 11, 2019, through Friday, February 15, 2019 tease that we will have a week filled with one digging for information, one upset, and let's not forget plenty of drama. We have a very exciting week heading our way and you will not want to miss a moment of the action!
This week, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) will dig for information on Shiloh (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) with the help of Damien Spinelli (Bradford Anderson). Jason does not trust Shiloh and will go to Beechers Corners to try to see what he can come up with. While there he will meet a lady and get some good intel. Now he must figure out how to use the information to his advantage.
Jason would like to catch Shiloh doing something sketchy or be able to prove he is not what he makes himself out to be. Do you think with Jason, Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) and Spinelli all investigating Shiloh that they will be able to bring him down?
Meanwhile, Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) will make sure her displeasure is known to Sam McCall. Carly will be upset over the fact that Sam and Jason Morgan are keeping their recent romantic reunion under wraps while they investigate Dawn Of Day. Carly is so happy that they are finally back together and wants to shout it from the rooftops, but they will need for her to keep quiet. Do you think Carly will respect their wishes?
For the other residents of Port Charles, Ava Jerome (Maura West) will arrive in the nick of time. Drew Cain (Billy Miller) meets with Shiloh. Cameron Spencer (William Tipton) gets into trouble. Laura Webber (Genie Francis) pays Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth) a visit. Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) hears from Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier). Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) and Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) work together.
Peter August (Wes Ramsey) and Maxie Jones West (Kirsten Storms) bump into Nina Reeves Cassadine (Michelle Stafford). One couple spontaneously decides to wed, and another announces a surprise pregnancy.
As you can see we have a very eventful week coming up, so make sure to stay tuned to ABC's General Hospital. Don't forget to check often with Soap Opera Spy for all your latest spoilers, news, updates, and much more!

CV | Google Scholar | Research Gate | LinkedIn
Dr. Kurt Kraiger is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Management, Fogelman College of Business and Economics, University of Memphis. He received his B.A. in Psychology from the University of Cincinnati in 1979, and his Ph.D. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from The Ohio State University in 1983.
Dr. Kraiger conducts research on learning in ill-structured environments. In formal training, the trainer or instructor establishes the learning objectives, guides students through training, and determines when training is over. Ill-structured environments are learner-centric. For example, in technology-mediated learning environments, learners may set their own objectives, determine how they learn, and decide when they are done. In mentoring relationships, mentors and mentees mutually determine developmental outcomes. His doctoral students are currently doing research on mentoring, informal-learning behaviors, work-life balance training, employee openness to workplace health promotion programs, the self-undermining proposition in JDR theory, and interventions to limit careless responding.
Dr. Kraiger is a Fellow and former President of the Society of Industrial/Organizational Psychology (SIOP). He has edited three books on training, published over 65 scholarly papers, given nearly 40 invited talks, and made over 110 scientific presentations. Journals he has published in include: Journal of Applied Psychology, Personnel Psychology, Academy of Management: Learning and Education, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Annual Review of Psychology, Psychological Bulletin, Journal of Business and Psychology, Human Resource Management Review, and Human Resource Management. He is currently an Associate Editor of the Journal of Business and Psychology and is on the editorial board of the Academy of Management: Learning and Education, Journal of Management, and Journal of Applied Psychology.

SCHOOL OF NURSING STRATEGIC PLAN
Letter from the Dean
Dear School of Nursing and UTMB Communities,
The University of Texas Medical Branch School of Nursing (SON) has a long-standing history of excellence and innovation in educating professional nurses for leadership roles in the state, nation, and international arenas. As the first school of nursing west of the Mississippi, UTMB's SON has been a trailblazer in nursing education for 130 years. UTMB School of Nursing was the first nursing school in the United States to become affiliated with a university, the first to establish a Master of Nursing in the state of Texas and the first in the state to offer online graduate education in nursing. With our legacy of "firsts" in mind, UTMB leaders are committed to providing the infrastructure to advance and promote the mission of the School to pave the way for generations to come.
The last few decades have provided tremendous growth for nurses and nursing education. On both the national and state levels, the nursing field will continue to face demands that will change the landscape of the healthcare industry familiar to us today. It will be imperative for our school to remain strategic, agile and bold as we proactively plan for these fluctuations. As an academic healthcare institution, we can prepare nurses to be leaders in their field, teach faculty to become inspiring educators, encourage the use of cutting-edge technology, and promote evidence-based practice through research and innovation.
A holistic view of the nursing field is necessary to understand our path forward as an institution and a community. UTMB SON suggests strategies to tackle the gaps in nursing education to help aid anticipated shortages in Texas. Along with the Strategic Plan, Vision 2025, we anticipate that improving our nursing education will in turn advance the quality and safety of patient care throughout the nation. This document serves as a planning tool, not to be mistaken for a strict road map. With this guiding document, UTMB SON aims to shed light on current issues facing nursing education and provide strategies for improvement.

Research & Data Analysis
Execution & Management
The initial phase of our strategic planning process involved a collegial effort to bring the SON community together through a shared vision of our future. Working with our colleagues across the UTMB community, we created a strong plan for how to improve the health of Texans and diverse populations around the world through nursing education, research, leadership, service and practice. We established our new mission, vision and values that will serve our School of Nursing, UTMB, and the state of Texas, and beyond.
Once we finalized our shared mission, vision, and values, we developed a better sense of our strengths as a community and areas of opportunity. Through internal and external environmental scans, we recognized that our Vision 2025 will provide us with momentum to capitalize on the strengths and perspectives of diverse communities to promote an inclusive culture of collaboration to meet our goals.
Our six pillars (Culture, Research, Education, Innovation, Transformation and Engagement) have become the foundation for our future. To guarantee accountability and success, we will assess each current and new initiative to ensure alignment with our mission, vision and values. We are committed to using Vision 2025 as a roadmap, reassessing our progress over the next five years and adjusting our processes to ensure that we meet our goals.
Our goal is to use Vision 2025 as a roadmap, to operationalize our goals together. The strategic plan is not a stagnant document, but rather a blueprint of our vision and destination. We will continue to evaluate and assess our successes and our shortcomings to establish a strong culture of accomplishments, constructive feedback, improvement, capitalizing on our strengths, and moving our school forward and contribute to health and healthcare in meaningful ways. We will continue to hold ourselves accountable as we lead in nursing education, conduct high-impact research, promote leadership and service, and improve the health of diverse populations around the world.
We would like to hear from you! Please provide your feedback on our goals and provide any suggestions you have for our Vision 2025 Strategic Plan. Dean Deborah J. Jones will view the feedback provided in this short survey and address the questions, concerns and recommendations provided.
Thank you for all you do for our school!

Hello Friends! Today's projects is purrfect for all the Coffee lover's out there! I created a fun little Coffee Cup Shaker Card using the Sending Hugs Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs and the Coffee Cup Die from Honey Bee Stamps.
At the end of this post, please check out some info about my NEW RSS Feed!
To get started, I die cut all the pieces to create the shaker card. I die cut the shaker frame and coffee cup topper from Double Sided Adhesive Foam available from Newton's Nook Designs.
I cut the coffee cup card, shaker frame and coffee cup topper from white cardstock. I cut the coffee cup wrapper from kraft cardstock. I also cut a piece of Acetate Sheet available from Newton's Nook Designs to cover the shaker box.
To add some texture and interest to the inside of the shaker box, I decided to do a little dry embossing. I used a piece of Therm O Web Purple Tape to hold the Newton's Nook Designs Tumbling Hearts Stencil in place on the the front of the coffee cup card base. I then ran this through my die cut machine following the directions to embossing with a stencil/die.
I always love subtle texture this adds to a card. To help the design pop more, I ink blended some Distress Oxide Ink in Picked Raspberry onto the paper. I then went about assembling the shaker card.
After adhering the foam pieces to the card front, I filled the shaker box with some sequins. I then attached the piece of acetate to cover the box and hold the sequins in place.
I then added a white die cut frame to the front of the shaker. Next, comes the stamping!
To embellish the wrapper, I stamped the cat, coffee cup and hearts from the Newton's Nook Designs Sending Hugs Stamp Set with Memento Ink onto white cardstock and then colored them with Chameleon Pens. I then die cut the images using the coordinating Sending Hugs Die Set. I stamped the "Sending Hugs" sentiment from the Newton's Nook Designs Sending Hugs Stamp Set with Versafine Onyx Black Ink onto the kraft cardstock wrapper.
To complete the card, I stamped the "You're the Cream in my coffee" sentiment on the inside of the card. This sentiment is from the Newton Loves Coffee Stamp Set.
Did you used to receive my blog posts via email? Do you miss getting those emails packed with inspiration and ideas? If so, I ask that you subscribe to my blog's NEW RSS Feed.
I used to use Mad Mimi as my RSS Feed however, a couple of months ago I reached the maximum number of subscribers for their free plan and I can no longer send out my blog posts through them without paying $27 dollars a month. I don't know about you, but that is a lot of money that could be spent on more crafty supplies and I have a budget to stick to. I really loved Mad Mimi and how great their emails looked, but again, I have a budget to stick to. So....if you're interested in receiving my blog posts again, I would love for you to sign up HERE. I'm going back to Bloggers Feedburner in hopes of being able to reach you all again. I miss you all bunches!
Hello friends! Welcome to Day 4 of Newton's Nook Designs April Release! This is our final release day and tomorrow all of the new sets will be available in the Newton's Nook Store. Today we have two stamp sets to share with you called Little Lilies and April Showers Stamp Sets along with their coordinating die sets.
For my first card, I'm sharing what I created using the April Showers Stamp Set. I stamped the main sentiment with Versamark Embossing Ink onto a tag cut from cardstock using the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. I then heat embossed it with white embossing powder.
Using the Umbrella Pals Die Set, I cut out the adorable umbrellas from various colors of cardstock. I just love how the Umbrella Pals die set comes with this stand alone die that can be used on its own!
I then adhered all the pieces to the background paper and added a little bow to the tag to finish off the design.
For my second card today, I'm sharing some inspiration using the Little Lilies Stamp Set. I've always loved this flower. My birthday is in May and this is my birth month flower!
I went with a rather clean and simple card design for this one. I stamped the image onto a piece of white cardstock and then colored it with Chameleon Pens. I then used a die from the Frames & Flags Die Set to cut out the frame.
To complete the card, I layered the main piece onto a banner cut from kraft cardstock using a die from the Frames & Flags Die Set. I then layered all of this onto a piece of patterned paper and adhered it to the card base. Again, a rather simple design, but I love how crisp and clean it looks!
Here's a full look at the new stamps and dies being revealed today. All the new products will be available on Friday, May 20.

Hello friends! Welcome to Day 3 of Newton's Nook Designs April Release! Today we're sharing a new set called Umbrella Pals and it's coordinating die. These adorable umbrella's are just perfect for putting a smile on your face!
To create the background, I die cut a piece of cardstock using the cloud border die from the Sky Borders Die Set. I then used it as a mask to create the cloudy sky. I began at the bottom and lightly inked the clouds with Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass. I recommend stamping off the ink before applying it the the paper to avoid applying too much ink. You can always add more! I then continued moving the the mask up the card, offsetting it as I inked each section.
Once the background was complete, I stamped several of the adorable Umbrella Pal images onto watercolor paper with Versafine Ink. I then embossed it with clear embossing powder. Next, I colored in each image using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I thought watercolor markers would be perfect for the theme of this card!
For the sentiment piece, I die cut a banner using a die from the Flags and Frames Die Set. I then stamped the sentiment with Versafine onto it and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder.
To complete the card, I die cut a frame using the Flags and Frames Die Set and embossed it with the a polka dot embossing folder. I then adhered the images using double sided foam tape for a bit of dimension.
Would you like to win the "Umbrella Pals" Stamp Set? This stamp set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!
Hello friends! Welcome to Day 2 of Newton's Nook Designs April Release! Today we're sharing a new set called Wedding Frills, along with it's coordinating die AND a gorgeous new stencil called Floral Lace. These new products are going to be perfect for creating both wedding and anniversary cards!
I used these new products to create an elegant trifold stencil embossed wedding card. This would be a great design to use if you wanted to create custom wedding invitations. All you would need to do is type up the wedding details, print them and place them inside the card.
To get started creating this card, I cut 2 pieces of white cardstock to 6 x 8.5 inches and then scored them each at 3 inches.
Next, I took the Floral Lace Stencil and positioned it along the fold to embossed what will be one of the front flaps of the card.
I then ran it through my die cutting machine, following the instructions for my machine on how to emboss with a die or stencil. Here, the stencil is folded back to reveal the embossed image.
I repeated the embossing on the other piece of white cardstock, making sure to flip the stencil so I embossed the other half of the stencil on this side.
Next, I overlapped the large square sections of each piece and adhere them to make the trifold card. The embossed design will now be the visible as the flaps that you will open on the card.
To create the embellishments for the card, I stamped the images from the Wedding Frills Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Versamark Embossing Ink and heat embossed them using gold embossing powder. I then die cut them using the coordinating Wedding Frills die set. You will need to stamp and emboss 2 of the larger floral designs as well as the doily shape. I stamped the sentiment onto a die cut white circle (which is included in the Wedding Frills Die Set) and adhered it to the center of the doily shape.
To tie the card together, I wrapped a piece of sheer ribbon around the back side of the card. I then adhered one of the floral designs on top of the ribbon on the left flap of the card. For the other floral design I adhered it directly onto the right flap. Finally, I attached the doily and sentiment onto the left flap. I then tied the ribbon into a bow to close the card. As you can see here, the opening inside would be perfect for inserting a piece of paper with the wedding details.
Would you like to win the "Wedding Frills" Stamp Set? This stamp set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!
Hello and welcome to Day 1 of Newton's Nook Designs April Release! We're starting off this first day with a new stamp set featuring Newton called Newton's Graduation. This set is just in time for all the graduations coming up soon. There is also a brand new alphabet die set called Essentials Alphabet that is sure to become a new staple in your card making and die collection.
To get started, I created the background design by stamping the graduation hats from Newton's Graduation stamp set in a light gray ink onto a piece of white cardstock.
I then took the Essentials Alphabet Die (I did not cut the die apart) and centered it on top of the stamped paper and ran it through my die cut machine. Don't you just love the unique texture and pattern it creates?!
To help hold all the letters and numbers in place I adhered a piece of Easy Cut Adhesive by Therm O Web to the back side of this piece.
Next, I stamped the adorable Newton with the globe and the graduation hat using Memento Ink in black. I then colored the images with Chameleon Pens and die cut them using the coordinating die set. For the sentiment I stamped it in black ink onto a banner die cut using the Frames & Flags Die Set. For the final touch, I tied on some black and white baker's twine!
Here's a look at the new stamps and dies being revealed today. All the new products will be available on Friday, May 20.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 3) — GlobalPort Batang Pier and star guard Terrence have ended their five-year relationship in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), the league announced on its website Tuesday.
The Batang Pier dealt the prolific scorer Romeo and center Yousef Taha to the TNT KaTropa in exchange for Fil-Tongan Moala Tautuaa and KaTropa's 2020 first round pick and 2021 second round pick.
The 26-year-old Romeo was the fifth pick in the 2013 PBA Draft by GlobalPort. He was a three-time All-Star and three-time scoring champion both from 2015 to 2017.
Tautuaa, on the other hand, is a third year big man who was the top overall pick in the 2015 PBA Draft.
Romeo will bolster a loaded TNT guard rotation which includes Jayson Castro, Roger Pogoy, RR Garcia, and Jericho Cruz.
The 6-foot-8 Tautuaa is expected to give more height to Batang Pier's frontcourt together with Kelly Nabong and Bradwyn Guinto.
