Global mobility has made global health a priority within nursing curricula and health care organizations. A collaborative online learning activity could promote international perspectives of health care delivery. Including a collaborative online international learning activity in continuing education for practicing nurses is a viable strategy that is consistent with the internationalization at home movement. Use of a qualitative descriptive evaluation approach when teaching prelicen-sure nursing students and educating practicing nurses provides effective international collaboration, promotes a global mindset, and provides an exemplar for professional development specialists to teach practicing nurses.

Anchored by Barnes & Noble, Citibank and Thriftway Drugs, Utopia Center will be a 100,000-square-foot retail and office complex. Its size dwarfs anything on the commercial strip, taking up nearly three- quarters of a block at 176-60 Union Tpke. \"There's a lot of excitement with the new tenants moving into the community,\" said Doron Nissan, one of Utopia Properties' owners. \"There hasn't been any large national retailers in this community before. The availability of the space to develop really interested retailers. It's been largely favorable. And the attraction of being near St. John's really appealed.\" Utopia Properties is negotiating with several restaurants for the prime 5,000-square-foot corner lot that Citibank is vacating. Also still up for grabs is the storefront next to Barnes & Noble, as well as a few units on the concourse level.

[Marie Denayarro], 65, is one of 358 volunteers in the Stay Well Exercises for Older Adults program sponsored by the city Department for the Aging. (Most volunteers are in their 70s.) Since 1983, the department has been training seniors to lead their own exercise and health programs at a grass roots level in their own communities. Volunteers are taught the benefits of exercise, using standing and sitting low-impact movements designed to improve flexibility, endurance and strength. Stay Well is offered at 165 sites throughout New York City, mainly senior centers, group residences, churches and libraries. Three branches of the Queens Borough Public Library - Flushing, East Elmhurst and the central library in Jamaica - also offer the free weekly program. \"One of the reasons we train seniors is so they become loyal to their particular site,\" said Harriet Stollman, director of the health promotion unit at the Department for the Aging. \"We really give them the tools and, after the training is completed, it's really their program forever.\" Newsday Photo/Alan Raia - Seniors work with Marie Denayarro, leading an exercise class at Queens library in Flushing.

Fired by their zealotry, this trio is seeking the holy grail of barbecue - capturing the Jack Daniels World Championship Invitational Barbecue title. Barbecue, long a bastion of southern and midwestern tradition, may be perturbed by this city slicker Yankee upstart. For the first time in the event's 15-year history, a group from New York City is challenging traditionalists at their home turf in Lynchburg, Tenn. (home of the Jack Daniels distillery) this month. \"Well, actually we do,\" Besasir said. \"There's been storms, there's been blizzards and we barbecue. Every single piece of meat in this house winds up on that barbecue. ... Even fish and vegetables. Yeah, we're that crazy. Every day that barbecue gets fired up.\" Photo by Jason DeCrow - Robert Richter, left, Sheba Besasir and [Barry Stockman], who call themselves \"Big Island Bar-B-Que,\" with their grill and the trophy they received for winning the Connecticut state barbecuing championships.

\"I noticed that a lot of movie theaters that I've known in my youth - the Valencia on Jamaica Avenue, the RKO Keith's in Flushing, the Drake on Woodhaven Boulevard - were closed,\" said [Jeff Gottlieb], 61, president of both the Central Queens Historical Association and the Queens Jewish Historical Society. \"I wanted to know why they were closed ... what made people quit these beautiful theaters.\" The Valencia and the Flushing RKO Keith's are the only two theaters in Queens recognized by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. However, only part of each theater was saved: the exterior of the Valencia, and the foyer and ticket booth of RKO Keith's. Once granted landmark status, no changes or renovations are allowed without the commission's approval. The process often pits the theater owner, who wants to make money off the property, against the community, which has an interest in preserving it. 1) New York City Department of Records - Kew Gardens Fox Theater on Queens Boulevard, 1940.

Dragon boat racing originated from one man's act of political protest and evolved into a major Chinese celebration and a worldwide sporting event. According to Chinese legend, Qu Yuan was a poet, philosopher and court officer during the Chou dynasty in the fourth century BC. Upset with the corrupt regime, he jumped into the Mei Lo River and drowned. The local fishermen hurried to their boats to rescue him, but were too late. As a sacrifice, they threw rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves called tzungtzu to prevent his body from being eaten by the fish. The dragon boats are made of teakwood, all handcrafted in Hong Kong, and measure 46 feet from the dragon head to tail. Weighing 2,200 pounds, each boat seats up to 20 people including the captain, drummer and steerer. Race distances are 250, 500 and 1,000 meters. Racers aren't limited to Asians, as Alvin McLean, captain of the HSBC team, can attest. McLean is a native-born Jamaican whose first water sport is dragon boat racing. \"Back in '95, one of the branch managers was really into it and I joined,\" he said. \"You meet folks and become really good friends.\"

Carmelo Rivera and Donnell Johnson are part of The Doe Fund Inc.'s Ready, Willing and Able program, which provides training, social services and employment to the homeless. Eventually Johnson lost his home and family. Homeless and addicted, he stayed at shelters, with friends and family, even empty buildings as he tried to stay clean. He even thought of committing suicide until he discovered Christianity. A friend suggested that he try the Doe Fund in New York. In June, Johnson made an appointment and two days later he was enrolled. The program had been a part of Forest Hills since October 2000, until funding ran out in May. More than $38,000 was raised by last month to pay for a one-year contract for two trainees. The money came from area merchants and included funds secured by City Councilwoman Melinda Katz (D-Forest Hills) and state Assemb. Michael Cohen (D-Forest Hills). Both Rivera and Johnson are grateful.
