This is a course offered by Barbara Smigel. The course content is available for free online and it appears you could take the course for credit via distance. The latest link has 2009 so I'm not sure if it's correct today. Check directly with Ms. Smigel (her email is at the bottom of the course's page: http://www.bwsmigel.info/ ) She would be the best contact for more info about receiving certificates of completion. Thanks for your question!

Physicians definitely need to know where their patients are getting information. Sites such as http://www.drugdigest.com and others where one can look up drug interactions for instance, are very helpful to the layperson -- I can't imagine any professional not at least becoming familiar with technology, and for those who refuse, there's always a new crop of graduates nipping at their heels.

Don\'t have an answer yet; will probably be announced at next meeting, Oct 5th. I\'ll post when I know!

We have no control over their site, so when it goes down (as it recently did), the link was broken, but that is the correct location so I chose to leave it -- when it\'s fixed (which it now is) it will work properly.

Rice Museum's physical address is 26385 NW Groveland Drive, Hillsboro, OR. Their phone is 503-647-2418. They have had some "issues" with their web site lately. Please call if you are interested in classes as they can let you know whether a current class is full.

I've tried to find a back issue of the magazine, and your local library may have it in micro-fiche? I didn't check yet with my library but that seems one place to start. You can also take screen shots and print those -- I've tried it and it works though you end up with a lot of pages that would need to be cut-n-pasted together (just like the good old days!).

I also tried Ebay today and did find someone in Australia with that issue but they were not sending to the US (perhaps they could be persuaded though, as I did not try). Good luck!

Check out your local credit union. Member owned, non-profit, the way banking should work. MSN Money has a good piece (not sure if links are allowed here though), search for "ditch your bank for a credit union" to find it.

I agree. Maybe they could just change it to "Vancouver Not BC"

Whatever happened to calling it "Hooterville?" Am I really that old?

If you've got good credit, just cancel the stupid card. We have to start fighting back by refusing to do business with these thieves.
