The DK25/R is for "Recording" and has two TC25 omnis for overheads, an SR25 cardioid for kick drum, a KickPad™ and a windscreen. Comes in an attractive solid wood carrying case.
The new 25kHz series of microphones was designed to be used for percussion. The TC25 omni has a frequency response of 9Hz to 25kHz and the SR25 cardioid response is 50Hz to 25kHz. Both models will handle up to 145dB SPL. The DrumKit™ microphones will also provide stunning results on a wide variety of instruments and vocals for recording or live sound. They are unlike any other microphones on the market, because of proprietary and patented technologies.
The KickPad™
A great kick drum microphone needs to be designed and optimized
for that specific purpose. This means the microphone is great for kick drum and nothing else. To create a more versatile product Earthworks designed the kick drum optimization in an external XLR package - the KickPad™. Just plug a KickPad™ into the mic line going to the SR25 kick drum mic for magnificent results. With the KickPad™ removed, you can use the same SR25 microphone for most anything. All three high quality Earthworks microphones in the DrumKit™ System can be used for other instruments and vocals. The KickPad" will also improve the sound of other popular microphones used for kick drum.

I really enjoy this product!
I pat in onto my skin, and It makes such a difference to my foundation!
I have a love/hate relationship with nars sheer glow foundation, but everytime I use it with this underneath, it makes the world of a difference!
It has lasted me ages, as I only use it for special occasions/nights out etc. I shall be buying this again when it runs out!
I have the large version of this, and I still have so much left in the tube - you deffo get your moneys worth! :-)
This has no effect on my skin whatsoever. No tightening, no brightening, I don't even think it works that well as a makeup primer because by the end of the day my foundation has broked up in patches around my nose and upper lip. I applied this to half my face and used my regular moisturizer on the other half. At the end of the day, my face was uniformly shiny (dewy?). Since then I've used it several more times, both rubbed in and not rubbed in (the latter is the recommended application method) and no difference. I'm jealous of other reviewers who got it to work for them, but for me it left me thinking that the emperor has no clothes.
Like most Clarins products I've tried, BFB smells foul. It's a powder-y, mature lady smell that I hope I don't smell like when I'm 80.

I have been using the balm as a mask three times a week. I apply a thick coating, massage it into my skin and rinse off 20 minutes later. I follow up with my regular day-time moisturizer. It's not an inexpensive procedure but it really keeps my complexion looking good.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Didn't like this product at all. It looked great when first applied but that didn't last very long, about 10 minutes. Also I was very conscious of it on my face, it felt like I was wearing a mask and my skin felt like it was being suffocated. The 'Flash' part of its name is very apt, you get a flash of radiant skin and then, just like that, its gone!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have heard numerous raving reviews for this all time best-seller and I fell in love with it upon first application! the result is very pronounced after the make-up despite I failed to have a beauty sleep the night before. One amazing factor is that since this balm doesn't come with SPF, you can just mix it with your sun-block and apply. :) Another one is that it retains the overall make-up the whole day! (unless the climate is extremely humid that your face keeps sweating haha)
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I used this as a primer and a radiant booster for my often dry-dull looking skin. The product is scented but nothing offensive and has a light champagne/beige color but goes on clear. I did not find that it makes my make-up longer lasting and I don't always get results from this. I used it once in a while and sometimes I do see my skin looking more radiant true my foundation while othertimes I don't noticed anything. I did try it as a mask but that did absolutly nothing. The tube lasted me almost 2 years because you only have to use a tiny amount. This is a weird product because I really don't see what it actually does and it only gives a minimal effect, so I wouldn't buy it again.
I have but one thing to add:
If you want to experienced the 'tightening' part, try leaving it on for ten minutes before applying makeup, rather than applying makeup immediately as per the instructions.
(And seriously, don't use it every day, your skin will 'get used to it' (as Lisa Eldridge puts it) and the effects will diminish.)

Love this little gem .. Smells amazing .. Feels amazing! I used after moisturising as a primer .. Make up went on flawlessly & lasted longer all thanks to Clarins!! X
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I started buying the Flash Balm about 5 or 6 years ago due to the rave reviews and have been using it out of habit since, even though I've been indifferent to the results and don't have another product to compare it to.
I've only ever really used the Flash Balm as either an additional pre-make up "skin prep" after moisturising in the morning, as a substitute moisturiser if I've run out or am travelling, or as a temporary night cream when I'm living out of an edited make-up bag.....none of which are the recommended uses for this product, although it works fine for either of those purposes.
The texture is very rich, so a petit pois sized drop is enough for the whole face. I'd always assumed the "flash" element of this balm has been due to the shine it gives to the skin, which also doesn't make it very T-zone friendly and I use finishing powder to manage the excess shine.
I don't retouch my make-up once I've put it on in the morning, but would hesitate to follow the recommended use of patting it over my face to revive tiredness for fear that it would muddy up the make-up underneath.
Not a glowing review, I'm afraid, but I know I'll robotically repurchase another 75ml of this Flash Balm when my current one runs out. No idea why.
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This stuff works to bring blood to the skin by irritating it with potassium hydroxide. Commonly known as lye.
This is also why Beauty Flash Balm is promoted as a "special occasion" product rather than an everyday primer. Caveat emptor.
Here are some other uses for potassium hydroxide:
"Uses of potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide:
* It is used as a neutralizer in petroleum refining
* Paint stripper (although it's so caustic that its use is being phased out)
* It's used in the production of aluminum
* Used in chemical analysis to measure the concentration of acids
* Used in soap making
* Used in paper making to separate lignin from cellulose fibers
* Used as a catalyst in the production of biodiesel
* Used to etch aluminum
* Washing or chemical peeling of fruits and vegetables
* Chocolate and cocoa processing
* Caramel color production
* Scalding poultry
* Making soft drinks
* Softening Olives
* Unclogging drains
* Hair straightener (although it is caustic and its use is being phased out)
* Dissolving animal carcasses
* Cleaning breweries
* Absorbing CO2 from sealed environments
* ID'ing mushrooms
And it can be used to make meth (Blech!)"
When I had it in my possession it did make me look alive (irritation) but honestly, so would a light alpha hydroxy lotion from walgreens. It didn't feel good. It felt like an industrial soup.
No breakouts but I used it only a few times.
Clarins Beauty Flash Balm overpromises and underdelivers.

DIY Fort-Making Kit
Saltwater Kids
Whenever I discover a gift I would love to receive for my kids, I know it's probably a great gift to give as well. Children's gifts, especially the kind that encourage young imaginations, are our favorites. This one we spotted over at Saltwater Kids is perfect.
Emily created this complete fort making kit for about $10. So what's inside the nifty little bag (which she sewed out of fabric scraps)? 2 sheets - $1.25/each, a pillowcase (for the bag lining & accessory bag) - $.50, clothes pins, clamps and rope ($1/each), and flashlight and suction cups ($2/each). She included everything the kids will need to make a fort in no time. For complete details on how to assemble something similar, check out Saltwater Kids.

love it...what kid doesn't like to build forts?!
I was inspired by the great Saltwater Kids fort kit to make my own version, using eyelets instead of ties on the sheets. Details and pictures of it in action here: Stitch/Craft
Love this! I remember as a kid, I would just put the blanket over a table, and put something really heavy to keep it there, although it was so unsafe, the heavy object almost always fell
Fortamajigs over at Brain Toys are great!

Are We Optimistic?
To be optimistic means to think and feel positive of up coming events and to hope for the best results. To ask the question "are we optimistic" is to general of a question. There are different types of people in the world with all types of different issues to ask that general of a question. The more specific question for the world as a whole which was asked in this article was to rate your current life and how you see your life in five years. With all the issues going on in the world today the majority of the people still gave positive ratings to their life's now and in the future. That is a optimistic view of life, but is it optimism or denial?
I feel in some cases people are scared to think of what the world has in store for them five years down the road, and instead mask that fear by seeming confident that life will be better in the future. No matter wither the world is optimistic or not, it will be the actions we take towards improving or destroying our world that will tell our future.

Police are searching for 21-year-old Timothy Oliver Barr II, also known as Don Gunna, after an armed home invasion in Holyoke on Sunday.
Police say Barr and 31-year-old Norwood Thomas robbed several occupants at a Dwight Street apartment, threatening them at gunpoint.
A subsequent investigation identified the two males as well as the motor vehicle involved in the incident.
Thomas was arrested in Allentown, PA, upon returning a rental car to the agency.
Barr, of Northampton, PA, is still at large.
Holyoke Police Criminal Investigations Bureau requested the public not approach this suspect if observed as he is considered dangerous and possibly in possession of a handgun.
Anyone with information regarding Barr should immediately contact the nearest police department via 911 or the Holyoke Police Criminal Investigations Bureau at 413-322-6900 if it's not an emergency situation.

We offer two ways to locate information:
From our first vintage in 1976, Tom Jordan has sought to create a soft, approachable Cabernet Sauvignon in which the winemaking is simply a logical completion of nature's work. With this in mind, Jordan Vineyard & Winery has successfully maintained a tradition of producing elegant, refined Bordeaux-style Cabernet Sauvignon in Northern California's Alexander Valley.
The 2001 vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon was fermented slowly and received a gentle extended maceration in order to extract, soften and stabilize the lush, elegant tannins and concentrated flavors from the fruit before pressing. Full malolactic fermentation followed in large oak casks to soften the natural acidity and enrich the texture of the wine. The young wine was then aged for twelve months in both French and American small oak barrels and six months in neutral large oak barrels before blending to achieve an optimal balance of flavors and complexity. After bottling, the finished wine received nineteen months of additional aging in our temperature controlled cellars before release.
The continued addition of the fruit from our hillside vineyards is in part responsible for the well integrated increase in aromatics, depth of color and flavor and mid-palate feel in the 2001 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon. The bouquet offers subtle notes of cassis, black cherry, currants and chocolate. It is a richly textured wine with lush, ripe flavors of blackberry, Bing cherry, cassis and raspberry. Slight earthy notes of tobacco and cedar and a subtle framework of oak complete this delicious wine.
In 1972, Tom and Sally Jordan, a young couple from Colorado who shared an unbridled enthusiasm for French food and wine, followed their hearts to California"s wine country. Since their inaugural 1976 vintage, the Jordans have been heralded for their elegant wines, culinary excellence and gracious hospitality. Jordan Vineyard & Winery lies tucked into the hills of Alexander Valley...Read More About Jordan
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the...Read More About Sonoma County
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

Location, spacious rooms, kitchen facilities, great beds, rooms are soundproof
fantastic location, very close to the strip (5 MIN WALK) Very helpful staff and very clean.
Location was great, close to the strip but quieter. Great pool and kitchen facilities
Having to leave
We liked the fact that we didn't need be on the strip every night and would recommend Ellis Island restaurant and casino.
Very clean comfortable room. Excellent value
Location was ideal as it was away from The Strip & yet within a short walk of Las Vegas B'lvd. It was great to return to a quieter place after constant noise from The Strip.
Perhaps the air con unit in room could be a little quieter?
Off the Strip so quieter. A complete suite which we didn't have time to make full use of in our overnight stop. Near the Miracle Mile Mall so good to keep out of the heat and get a cheap breakfast. Nice pool.
Quiet and Comfortable hotel, the staff was very friendly and helpful, Hotel with free parking and internet, close to the strip, the room includes a basic kitchen.
Excellent place, located very close to the strip, it is within walking distances to all major attractions The rooms are comfortable and have a nice kitchenette Good wi fi
Lack of breakfast
The Carriage House is an oasis of calm after the crowds, 'bling' and heat of "The Strip'. Our spacious suite had a well supplied kitchen. The bed was large and comfortable. Very good cleaning service. Kay the Concierge very helpful, and very happy with all the staff we had contact with.
Good location and the pool.
Price of milk at the mini mart was way too expensive. Non smoking room did have some odour of old smoke.
After staying in two spacious hotel rooms prior to visit here , was disappointed with the cramped space
Location is great - a short walk from the strip and away from the chaos of the casino hotels.
Air conditioning in our room sounded like a freight train and had to be turned off to sleep - that said room was relatively cool and temperature OK without a/c.
This is a no-frills hotel, located coveniently close to the strip. Do not expect the MGM Grand or The Bellagio. The staff is courteous without being slimy and for once I didn't feel like all of my money was being vacuumed out of my pocket with every step I took.
Staff were prompt and courteous
Staff extremely helpfull in orienting us to do the most with limited time. Great facilities and very reasonable. Highly recommended.
Roomy and clean
Mattress to soft
We arrived in about midnight. The staff was very nice and helpful. Our aprtment was so clean,spacious, confortable with every thing you need. We certainly recomend this hotel to our friends.
Great location. Affordable. Easy parking. Uncrowded pool.
Not a casino resort hotel, but what do you expect for the price?
Location is great, no gambling on site, spacious, great and helpful staff. Parking good and price good value. Good WiFi.
Very comfortable big room with separate kitchen and living area. The kitchen well equiped. Hotel with free parking, located very close to Strip. There is no casino but it makes the place more quiet. Very good place to stay during visiting Las Vegas.
We loved everything about The Carriage House. A lovely, comfortable place to stay, not far off the strip, but far enough if you want a break from it. Cannot say enouh about how happy we found our stay and a very big thankyou to Pam, Concierge, for all her help.
The staff was so friendly and helpful. The hotel is short distance to the main street and the unit was very clean and comfortable. All was ok and i wish i could stay here next time.
Although the hotel is not as big as some of the others, it was just right. (I sound like the story of the 3 Bears), because it was just right. Not so big that you're just another guest, not too close to strip that it's horribly loud or so busy that you can't drive the back roads to get where you want/need to go. It's just right. The kitchen was amazing! Full size appliances & a dishwasher! The dining table is large enough to fit people & their food. The swivel for the tv allowed all parts of the room to see it. The huge comfortable king size bed was very comfy.
The only thing I would suggest when remodeling would be to enlarge the bathroom, just a little wider & longer would make a less cramped feeling. Looked like the extra could come from length of kitchen & width of living room. Just a suggestion.

Metro police Thursday busted a marijuana grow house in the northwest part of the valley.
Police said it started at 9:20 a.m. when patrol officers responded to a call from a house in the 9000 block of Mossy Hollow Avenue, near Durango Drive and U.S. 95.
The homeowner claimed there were two people hiding in an upstairs bedroom. When police investigated they did not find anyone hiding in the house. They did, however, find an indoor marijuana grow operation.
Police seized 109 mature marijuana plants with an estimated street value of $381,000, numerous pieces of grow house equipment, nearly $1,100 in cash and hash oil.
The homeowner, Jared Devin Ries, 32, was arrested and faces charges of possession of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell.
Ries was previously arrested for marijuana possession in 2009.
The bust marks the 102nd grow house investigated this year.

Brooke LeMar matched her career-high, scoring 25 points, but it wasn't enough, as the North Dakota State Bison women's basketball team (3-11) fell to the Northern Colorado Bears (6-5) Thursday evening inside the Bison Sports Arena, 74-70.
The Bison took an early 6-0 lead with 18:29 remaining in the first half on a three-pointer from Holly Johnson, but the Bears were able to fight back, tying the contest at 15 on a jumper from Rebecca Howell with 13:05 left in the half.
Northern Colorado took its first lead of the game, 17-15, at the 12:28 mark after Stephanie Lee converted a layup.
The two teams traded leads until the 4:29 remained in the first stanza. Kyleigh Hiser scored a layup to put the Bears ahead, 31-29, and the Northern Colorado defense held the Bison to just four points the remainder of the half. Northern Colorado went into halftime leading, 37-34.
LeMar led the Bison in the opening stanza, scoring eight points, while Stephanie Lee paced the Bears with 14 points.
North Dakota State was 11-for-27 (41 percent) from the field and 4-for-9 (44 percent) from three in the first half. The Bison converted eight of nine free throw attempts.
Northern Colorado shot 49 percent in the half, going 16-for-33, and were 4-for-8 from three for 50 percent. The Bears attempted only two free throws, making one.

I've been thinking a lot about this topic lately, so Rich's article is timely. Rich says that we are finally at the table, security is a legit "thing" now, and we should stop whining about FUD, products, sales people, and a host of other things.
First, we're not complaining, well some of us may be, but most of us are trying to keep this business away from FUD and stop people from using half-baked products. This is important to business, any business, not just security, and itâs important for all of us to understand business as it related to security. I hear ya Rich, not all of us do, and we could benefit from a "Business 101 for Security Professionals Course." I have a degree in business, and it was nothing more than experience that taught me what I know, albeit I am still learning. The business landscape is constantly changing, and we have to roll with the punches as technology, and the security of the technology, constantly changes. Okay, enough rambling, let me address Rich's points, some of which are really spot on.
1) Hate the endless compliance cycle? For most of you it's the only reason executives listen to you at all. – Really? If the only reason stakeholders listen to me is because of PCI, I am doing it WRONG. Compliance is one phase of the game, don't forget about raw security and that thing called risk management. If you can't work with your management on all three fronts, you are playing a losing game (hopefully its not global thermonuclear war).
2) Hate the "industry"? Name me one other area of society involving big money that doesn't become dominated by some sort of industry. – I think we're dominated by business, and if you don't understand the business, you shouldn't be complaining. Thatâs not to say we all can't work to make this industry have integrity.
3) Despondent over lack of innovation? Then stop buying the same crap you buy every year and invest in the products struggling to innovate – I could not agree more! We have crappy products because people buy them.
4) Tired of users who just don't get it? How about you stop pretending human behavior can change and that just because you see something a certain way you're any better than everyone else. BINGO! Don't give up on user education, but continue to use innovative technologies that protect the user and let them do their jobs.
5) Pissed at careless developers? Go write a secure piece of software on time, budget, and specifications, and come talk to me again. – Yes, writing secure software is hard. However, this is another area where you can use education, coupled with technology, to make resilient software. There are many efforts in this area, Rugged, Dan Kaminskies project.
6) Shocked that the bad guys are targeting you personally? Why the f* wouldn't they try to remove or distract the guards? Do you want to be friends? – So true, I used to hear "No one would want to hack us." Get over it, people want to hack you. They are many. They have all different motives. They come in all shapes, flavors, and sizes. Defense is hard, be creative.
7) Angry at vendors that lie about capabilities? Then stop forcing them to have dozens of widgets and performance capabilities you won't ever use or send back for a refund. – Whoa, how is it my fault that vendors lie about capabilities? Itâs true, technology gets complicated because everyone wants something custom for their needs.
Dear vendors, provide your customers a nice API, tell them to hire some talented people, and stop requesting one off features. There's a start. Example, why do I need 8,000 features in my web browser or document publishing product? Itâs a tough market, and features rule, but my bet is that you could sell module and trimmed down versions of software. The problem is human nature tells us that we want the "advanced" version of everything, not the basic, because heaven forbid we don't have a feature, like Mr. Clippy.
Finally, we think this is fun. Sure, we discussed a story where one individual said he was ready to quit on the last show, and that is sad. But we should also all understand that we are at a point where IT is learning the limitations of their security services and products. Many of us in the security industry have known this for quite some time. But it is nice that other members of management, and IT are starting to see it as well.
The point is this is a dynamic and fun field. Also, many of us know what and where security's limitations exist. This is a good thing. Now, we just need to do something about them.
In short, we agree with Rich. We need to stop complaining and start spending more time fixing problems.
-Paul Asadoorian and John Strand

Work is quickly progressing at the Northern spur, a horticultural preserve located on a portion of the High Line that juts across 10th Avenue, just north of Chelsea Market. The landscape at the Northern spur is designed to recall the self-sown landscape that grew up on the High Line after the trains stopped running. The High Line's landscape team planted over 7,500 native grasses and perennials in early November, before the soil froze.
Construction crews are now beginning to install non-slip, brushed-aluminum grating panels along a ramped structure that will provide access to and from the lower level. At the mid-point of the ramp, a cantilevered overlook will offer visitors views of both the preserve below them, and of the city beyond.
More photos after the break.
It's not too late to join us and Alex Feleppa, director of horticulture for the Horticultural Society of New York, for a naturalist walk on the rail yards section of the High Line. The walks are this Saturday, June 7 (there are three sessions.)

Clinical triggers are data flags identifying patients who may be at risk of harm or clinical situations that have the potential for harm. Prospective trigger tools provide rapid, real-time identification of adverse events and enable timely intervention that can prevent or mitigate an adverse event. In contrast, retrospective trigger tools allow identification of risky situations after the clinical episodes have terminated and are most suitable for measurement of event rates.With many of AHRQ's initial research projects relating to triggers and TIDS coming to a close, AHRQ decided to convene a meeting of trigger and TIDS researchers and Federal and private stakeholders to:Review progress on trigger/TIDS development.Identify (or explore) options for future work in this area.Meeting Structure and Contents of This PublicationOn June 30 and July 1, 2008, AHRQ convened a meeting to achieve the above-named goals. Forty-three researchers and key stakeholders participated in this meeting. In order to provide focus to the discussion, two panel presentations were held: one panel examined the methodological issues arising during triggers/TIDS development; the second panel explored issues surrounding the implementation of triggers/TIDS systems. These panel presentations were followed by extensive small-group discussion of issues raised during the presentations, as well as discussion of action options for assuring successful implementation and sustainable outcomes for future triggers/TIDS work.This publication summarizes the key points raised at this meeting and contains:A literature review, prepared for this meeting, summarizing published work to date in the trigger/TIDS research domain.Seven brief articles submitted by the panelists, summarizing their research and implementation work to date.A glossary, also prepared specifically for this meeting, to ensure a common understanding of trigger-related terms.Key aspects of each of these items are briefly summarized below.Literature ReviewThe literature review (Section IIA) notes that the majority of work published to date on triggers is related to adverse drug events. These publications on triggers for adverse drug events display a wide variety in the amount of detail and type of data used to detect the adverse event. A less common type of trigger, with significant presence in the literature, relates to surgical adverse events. In this review, Mull and colleagues note that adverse events related to operations are both prevalent and costly. Another significant category of triggers identified in the review consists of triggers linked to causes of adverse events. The review notes a gap in the literature of work surrounding triggers in the ambulatory setting (including outpatient surgery), triggers for diagnostic errors, and circumstances of failure to follow up.Panel PresentationsMethodological IssuesThe methods panel noted that positive predictive value (PPV) is a commonly used measure for determining the value of a trigger system, but PPV is limited because it is dependent on prevalence. Other methods such as sensitivity can be used, but this requires large numbers of patients to be reviewed; therefore, the panelists felt that the field would benefit from the development of new methods.The importance of developing triggers/TIDS that are appropriate for their intended purpose was also emphasized. It was specifically noted that trigger methods for diagnostic events and ambulatory adverse events are underdeveloped.Panelists noted that it is critical to develop triggers/TIDS that are integrated into workflow; often this will require an integrated, advanced electronic health record. Paper-based trigger systems can be very informative in identifying adverse events, but generally, paper-based systems require significant staff training and labor-intensive, manual chart review.Development of real-time, concurrent trigger/TIDS systems for both inpatient and ambulatory care would significantly advance the field.Focus group work presented during the methods panel revealed clinicians are most interested in triggers that are associated with frequently occurring, critical, and preventable adverse events. The clinicians represented in the research focus group assigned the most value to actionable triggers.Implementation IssuesThemes surrounding the implementation of triggers/TIDS were identified by the second group of panelists. In AHRQ-funded contracts, inpatient adverse drug event and pressure ulcer algorithms have proved useful for identifying adverse events and hold potential value for mitigating harm. The panelists noted that generally, clinicians perceived an incremental benefit from the triggers/TIDS systems when the systems filled a gap in clinical knowledge. Additionally, implementation of triggers/TIDS tended to be more successful when a multidisciplinary team approach was used. Like the methods panel, the implementation panel noted that implementation of paper-based systems is often cumbersome due to the large number of charts needing to be reviewed. Some participants in paper-based systems found it difficult to find significant clinical value when weighed against the efforts of implementation. Therefore, automated systems were identified as critical to long-term successful implementation across many health care organizations.Although automated systems may be costly to develop, one panelist demonstrated methods to develop a clear business case for preventing adverse events based upon hospital discharge cost data and the institution's harm prevalence rates. The panelists noted that harm sustained because of adverse events during hospitalizations results in significant costs to the organization, with impact on reimbursement and opportunity costs. A second approach identified to aid with the business case development for triggers/TIDS was integration of trigger tools into existing quality processes within organizations.Glossary of TermsBoth earlier researchers and attendees at the expert meeting identified a need for definitional alignment of trigger/TIDS elements. This publication contains a glossary of trigger/TIDS terms (Section III) that both clinicians and researchers will find valuable. The glossary was provided to the attendees for the purpose of advancing the discussions.Contributing ExpertsAHRQ would like to acknowledge the contributing experts who have provided this framework, who are listed in Section IV.Action OptionsA number of future options for AHRQ to consider emerged during the small-group discussions. These included:Continued development of triggers/TIDS systems that match the intended purpose of use (in terms of logic, method of evaluation, etc.). Systems intended for ranking or rate estimation functions must be evaluated very stringently.Continued research to explore methods of integrating trigger/TIDS harm identification and mitigation into existing health information technology and into existing workflow. Implementation of the trigger tools is not easy and may require guidance and support from entities external to the implementing organization.Support of development and spread of the business case for triggers/TIDS and for systems that mitigate harm.Continued dialog among Federal agencies likely to be interested in triggers/TIDS and patient safety monitoring.New grant or contract funding for triggers/TIDS development on outpatient surgery, care transitions, long-term care, and ambulatory settings.Development of standards for definitions of triggers/TIDS variables to facilitate easier adoption and promotion of uniformity.Support for collaborative organizations seeking to apply triggers/TIDS.Support for demonstrations and research on trigger/TIDS implementation, with distribution of lessons learned to systems interested in implementation.Development of a standardized implementation tool for triggers/TIDS.A final observation is perhaps in order regarding further work on trigger/TIDS development. No clear definition of triggers/TIDS emerged that clearly delineated a mechanism or mechanisms substantially different from current approaches found in either:Real-time alerts and reminders embedded in electronic health records.Retrospective chart review conducted using either explicit "triggers" (measures) or subjective analysis.Further work may be needed to be define a unique and cost-effective role for new triggers/TIDS mechanisms.

Located in the Caribbean between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, the Republic of Haiti was discovered by Columbus and Spanish settlers in 1492. In the 17th century, the French claimed part of the territory and with Spain imported African slaves to prosper the foresty and sugar industries that thrived there. By 1804, Haiti became the first black republic and the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere to declare its indendence. The struggle and political violence throughout Haiti's history has ceased, but the population still suffers today from the vast majority of cases related to AIDS and major infectious diseases.

'A Waste Of Time'
Roberto Martinez insistent transfer talk won't disrupt team.
Related Links
Roberto Martinez has branded Manchester United's approach for two Everton players 'a waste of time'.
The Spaniard's comments came 24 hours after the Club released a statement explaining a double bid from the reigning Premier League champions had been rejected.
"It's been well documented what happened with the transfer speculation, that's been dealt with and it was all a little bit of a waste of time - time I don't want the players to waste," Martinez said in an exclusive interview with evertontv.
"I think the situation is very clear. I think as a football club we will always keep our fans informed. I'm not a big believer in having the window open while the games are starting. I think the start of the season was important for us at Norwich and I won't come out now and carry on talking about the speculation.
"When there is something to tell our fans we will do that - they'll be the first ones to know if there are any players coming in or any players going out.
"But I don't believe in getting involved in the transfer window when the games are underway and we are in a very, very important moment of our season. We're trying to find our feet, we got a good start under our belts, we've got real competition for places and we've got the visit of West Brom at the weekend.
"The players have had the demands of international football and then they started the league with a lot of travelling, so obviously you can imagine it's been important these past few days that we can get them recovered, regenerate them in the right manner and get them ready for the next game. That, at the moment, is our only focus."

In 2010, Jamaal Charles nearly broke Jim Brown's record for average yards per-carry in a single NFL season.
If not for his last carry of the season, which went for a loss, Charles would have broken the record. Instead, he had to settle for a tie.
In 2012, Charles could be poised to do something very special. The former Longhorn has averaged 6.1 yards per-carry in his 499 attempts in the NFL. He's explosive, elusive and now, he's hungry.
You see, Charles only got 12 carries last season before tearing his ACL and landing on the sidelines for the rest of the year. Despite KC's horrendous start, Charles appeared to be picking up right where he left off in 2010. He averaged 6.9 yard per-carry with those 12 touches.
Now, after a year of rehab, Charles is looking to take his place at the top of the mountain of NFL backs.
"When I touch that field again, you're going to feel my pain," Charles told the Kansas City Star in May. "You're going to go through what I went through. It's going to be that way for me the rest of my career."
There are concerns of course. It has been a long time since Charles was on the field and the Chiefs will surely handle him with care throughout the preseason. Still, there were once questions about how another Chiefs back, Priest Holmes, would respond after dealing with a hip injury. Holmes responded the following season by breaking the then NFL record for rushing touchdowns by a running back with 27.
"If you're worrying about me not being the same, just look out for me this year," Charles said. "I'm hungry. I want it this year. I've got the passion for it. I just can't wait to play football. I can't wait to bring stuff back to this community and show them how much we can win. I feel like this is a year for us that we can go all the way. I'm saying that because I feel it in me that I can bring a lot to the team this year, being bigger, stronger and maybe even faster."
Charles could very well respond in the same manner as Holes. We're not talking about a back with a long injury history or with age concerns. Jamaal Charles is just 25 years old. His body is going to be healed and rested and his legs will be as fresh as they've been in years. As noted earlier, Charles has just 499 career carries. He is just scratching the surface of his potential.
Other factors are going to help Charles in 2012. He'll have a strong backfield mate in Peyton Hillis. The Charles/Hillis combo should be even more effective and dynamic than the 2010 tandem of Charles and an aging Thomas Jones. The rest of the offense is greatly improved as well. The Chiefs have more receiving threats and will sport the most talented offensive line Charles has ever had the pleasure of running behind. All of these things should add up to more offensive plays for the Chiefs and more chances for explosive runs by Charles.
Think on that for a second. Jamaal Charles is going to have more space and better blocking than ever before in 2012. It isn't out of the realm of possibility that he could average over 6.5 yards per-carry.
What do you think Addicts? Will Jamaal Charles set the NFL world on fire in 2012?

Week 6: Recap
Got to share a bit in the morning about ACF retreat during service since my mom was in Cali again, and more importantly, we focused on prayer in order to see revival and to rediscover passion. The rest of the day after church was very hurried, and it was kind of annoying how we couldn't really spend quality time eating dinner… what a bummer :( At the end of the night, Steph & I recorded a song for her best friend Karyn's birthday! That sure was fun, though I had never seen Anastasia or heard any songs from that movie…
Classes were fine though a bit tiring… I think probably because I actually had to stay the entire 3 hours during lab, though we didn't really do much… I spent most of the time on facebook haha. The Shaw seminar went really well despite some administration having to cancel… both the students and the administration seemed to love it, and that really put me at ease :)
During Feminisms, we watched a video on how music videos have denigrated women, and it's crazy how obvious it is… I guess it wasn't that shocking because it's right there in front of you, but when the video is slowed down and the lyrics are also shown, it definitely made it more alarming. Well, that'll give me a lot to talk about in my paper.
During ACF, Mako talked about Biblical Slavery, and I am really glad that he went through various passages describing what kind of slavery that was listed in OT, and it's very different than what we would label slavery as nowadays. I think that has always been an issue for apologetics that I could not wrap my mind around since I didn't understand the topic well enough, so I really enjoyed Mako's talk :)
Lastly, Steph & I went to the BC vs. UNC basketball game because I wanted to go to a game at least once before I graduated! And, I wanted to see how Coach D had done with the team… Sadly, we didn't beat UNC, as we got crushed, haha. But, it was still fun watching, and I guess that's another thing checked off of my imaginary list of things to do :P
Really…? Huge snowstorm, and no cancellations :( TONS of ice… but at least I put my new snow boots to good use! I felt like I mastered the winter conditions with my new boots and umbrella :D
The Chinese New Year festival held by CSA was…meh. I went late, so I missed out on all the food, but at least I got to see my sister at the front table. I know I probably should be more excited about such an event, but I think all people talk about now is how much money they get in those red envelopes haha. Though, I don't really care much for those either. I do like the food :) I really want mooncakes…
Finally, Liz & I did some practicing for her Kollaboration audition. Ooh I'm excited to see how it's gonna go!
Feminisms discussion was more interesting as I actually participated this time haha. It does get boring at times because it feels like just a few people talk…
Right after discussion, I headed up to Kangry's place to get my haircut! I bought his haircut services last year at the KRUP service auction, and never "cashed" it in till now. It was a fun time, as this was probably the most I've ever talked with a barber/hair stylist/cutter person. And, I learned that Kangry will be going on KRUP too! The haircut took about an hour long, which is the longest I've ever had a haircut, but it was a job well done, and I've gotten compliments on it :) Kangry wants me to be his "model" since he's offering his services again for this year's auction!
Lastly, for dinner, I experimented with cooking chicken. Somehow, this was the first time I ever had to cook raw chicken, and the only sauce I had was this Korean red pepper chili paste (gochujang?), and I'm surprised at how well it turned out. I guess I assumed there needed to be more ingredients when preparing meats and such, but I enjoyed the simplicity :D
Steph accompanied me on the T to North Station…possibly because she got jealous of my talks with Dan last semester :P Dan had to go to his service placement on the Orange Line so we would ride together. Sadly, this semester he changed his times, but since Steph didn't have work yet, she could come with me :) Travel buddies are awesome. I know that if I don't talk to people, I sleep… and then I sleep until the conductor has to wake me up and tell me to get off the T since it only goes until Government Center…Thankfully, that hasn't happened this year. :P
I got another blood test, and made it just in time before it closed. I actually watched the needle go in, and I was intrigued… looks like I'm over my fears!
At church, the adults celebrated Chinese New Year's, and there was some good food :) Then we had ROFL, and again, I'm so proud that the youth were able to lead everything again because it takes a lot of burden off of me and perhaps I'm learning how to release my role and empower others!
I sent Steph & Ryan to their small group this morning, but ended up getting lost because I what I thought was a bridge…wasn't a bridge. And, that totally confused me as to when I should be making the next turn. So, I returned to Newton by the Mass Turnpike by accidentally turning onto it (I thought it was another street… until I had to pay a toll lol), and then I picked up Liz. The second time around I found my way there successfully with the help of Ryan's GPS, and then Liz and I quickly headed to BU for her Kollab audition! Despite taking a wrong turn… we actually got where we wanted much quicker than expected (strange!), and we were able to get there early and practice a bit. Even though Liz was very nervous, she knew all her words, and I think we gave it our best! I didn't notice any mess-ups, so I have no regrets about our performance :) Then again, I already knew Liz sang amazing, so it was quite amusing to see how the Kollab panel would respond. Ah, thankfully, most of them (if not all) were from BC (Eric Nam, Alex Kim, Qian, Shannon and someone else…) After the audition, we headed back, and all that stress was now over! And then I took a nap to recuperate :P
Later in the day, I went to go pick up Steph & Ryan, but there was so much traffic at BC from the basketball game (which we won against VT!) I also got to meet their friend Van.
At 8, I met up with Justin, and we headed to Eagles Nest for Senior Dance Practice, and I guess I'm committing to it! I definitely felt a lot more confident going through the moves this time because they were a bit simplified, and surprisingly, I'm not the worst there anymore :P Some people were there for the first time, but at least they were still willing to do it! I do admire Eric Lee's teaching and dancing skills, definitely motivates me to try harder… I wonder what Synergy's performance for Showdown is going to be like… I'm pretty sure it'll be amazing.
Lastly, I arrived a bit late because of practice, but I made it to the SASA Culture Show! This was the first culture show I ever went to, and it was great seeing so many people I know (mostly Steph's roommates) in the show. The girls definitely outdanced the guys :P but it was very fun to watch. It also made me realize that I'd have to go up there next week… oh great :/ Looks like I gotta practice! And, I got to sit with Steph, Jeannette, and Susan, but to my surprise, a couple of the Shaw freshmen were to my side as well, so it was a fun night indeed :) After the show, there was lots of photos, as the dancers did an amazing job, and Steph and Jules prepared flowers for all their friends! And, I finally got to eat dinner at late night, haha. What a packed day!

I have been asked many times when do I decide to I turn a site over to a client. You may be in the same boat. You might have just finished designing a site for a client. You've finally tweaked the front end look exactly how the client wants it to appear and act. Or maybe you've finished importing all of the clients data and content into WordPress and you've polished the theme and you think you are ready. Is there anything else you should be doing?
YES!!! It can be summed up in one word… "TESTING".
Okay, so the guys over at WebDesign.com tell me I need to do testing, what does that mean? Well its a good thing I know that this is the question going through your mind, because I'm going to answer that question for you by providing five areas you need to check off before you turn the site over to a client.
First and most important, backup the site. I know this might sound crazy, but seriously, if you are not in the habit of creating backups of the sites you develop you are just asking for trouble. Especially if your site is a dynamic site and relies on a database to feed the content, you need to make sure you not only backup the site files but also the database. There is nothing more depressing or frustrating to hear 3 or 4 days after turning the site over to a client that they "screwed" up the site and can you "reset" the site… Um… yeah… Let me just hit that "RESET" button on my computer for you sir. So, when you think you are done with the site for a client (or yourself for that matter) make sure you backup your site. Also this is a great time to implement an automatic backup system that will continue to protect you and the client in the future. A great option if you are on WordPress is the BackupBuddy from PluginBuddy.com. This great plugin is an all-in-one solution for backups, restoration, and migration.
Second, you need to check the links. Not just look and see if the links are highlighted, or if your cool little hover animations is working. I mean you should literally click on EVERY single link that is on EVERY single page. Please do not assume all the links work, because when you do you will receive that late night call from a client claiming that his website is "broken". And if you've had one too many drinks, you just might be tempted to answer with some rational why you will bring a sledgehammer and wrench over to his house in just a few minutes to "fix" his problem. So, if you want to be spared from this embarrassment, remember to test and check ALL your links. Also, a good rule of thumb is never to underline text that is NOT a link because that just ends up confusing grandma and there's nothing worse than a ranting grandma on Twitter talking smack about how your client's site is "broken". And while you're checking links, make sure that the links to your RSS feeds (if the site offers them) actually work and correctly bring the feeds into a feed reader.
If you are reading this post you are probably a developer or a designer (or chasing after this title). So it is important for you to come to the realization that not everyone runs the same hacked-beta version of Firefox with a screen resolution of 3840 x 2160. So the third test you should do is a cross-browser compatibility test. You will learn quickly that it will be important for sites you create to look good and operate correctly on many different browsers and settings. Make sure your site works well in the several of the browsers like Opera, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer 7 & 8, and one or two mobile browsers like the iPhone, Blackberry, and an Android phone. (Notice that I didn't mention IE 6, this is on purpose. I normally include code on my sites from http://ie6update.com/ to take care of this problem.)
You've made it this far in the post, so I'm going to assume that you are actually interested in delivering the best possible experience for your clients. Many developers forget one area of the site where a true custom "signature" can be placed. The fourth step before handing the site over to a client is to create a useful and helpful 404 page. A majority of traffic on a website will bail on the site once they hit a 404 page. Your clients will appreciate the extra work you put into the site that keeps their customers ON their website rather than chases them away. So the simple task of supplying a helpful 404 page with links to the home page, suggestions on what might interest the client, or some other way to encourage the visitor to stay on the site rather than to run away.
Finally, something that should be common knowledge, make sure you optimize the site before the client gets their hands on it. In my previous post about using Chrome as part of your web development toolkit, I touched on the Developer Tools. The Developer Tools built into Chrome comes with the ability to track and itemize all resources on a page. The information provided can help you optimize a site. It can show you where your bottlenecks are occurring when a page is loaded. And the simple task of running your sites through this Resource tool you will find which images need to be optimized and cut down in size and which scripts and style sheets could be tweaked to get the page to load faster.
So to summarize:
- Backup the site
- Check the links
- Check the compatibility on multiple browsers
- Create a useful 404 page
- Optimize
These five tasks will not only lead to a happier client but will allow you to sleep through the night. Do you have a checklist of things you do before calling a site finished?

Take 30 seconds or less to let Honoulu City & County Council Members know you support Bill 72, which would create smoke-free beaches at designated locations in Honolulu. It's working on the Big Island and it can work in Honolulu as well. Your voice in strong support of this bill is important. Send your testimony today for the Committee hearing scheduled for Tuesday, February 26 at 9 am. We've made it easy, click here to submit pre-prepared testimony you can edit, submit your own written testimony via the County on-line system www1.honolulu.gov/council/emailpsed.htm or fax it to 768-3827. Mahalo.
Again... We've made it easy, click here to submit pre-prepared testimony you can edit, submit your own written testimony via the County on-line system www1.honolulu.gov/council/emailpsed.htm or fax it to 768-3827. Mahalo. This does take you away from SNN site. Just hit arrow to come back.
Honolulu City Councilmember Stanley Chang has introduced Bill 72, which would prohibit smoking at beaches and parks in Waikiki, Ala Moana and Sandy Beach Park.
Current City ordinances restrict smoking at the Honolulu Zoo, Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, Koko Crater Botanical Garden and the Waikiki Shell, except as otherwise permitted in certain designated areas.
"In addition to the health risks to smokers and risks caused by second hand smoke, cigarette butts are still the number one cause of litter in our city and at our beaches," said Chang.
All the beaches and parks named in Bill 72 include the following:
- Duke Paoa Kahanamoku Beach Park
- Kapiolani Beach Park
- Kapiolani Park Beach Center
- Kapiolani Park
- Kuhio Beach Park
- Sandy Beach Park
- Sand areas at Ala Moana Regional Park
Earlier last year, the Coalition for a Tobacco-Free Hawaii conducted a poll on Oahu asking residents their opinion on the matter.
"According to our survey, there is overwhelming support with 73 percent of respondents agreeing or strongly agreeing that our beaches should be smoke-free," said Jessica Yamauchi, Executive Director of the Coalition. "In 2008, Hawaii County passed an ordinance prohibiting smoking at all county beaches and parks and there continues to be strong support for this law."
Bill 72 will be introduced for first reading on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 10:00 am at the meeting of the full council on the third floor of Honolulu Hale. Comments and testimony on the bill are welcome.
The Coalition for a Tobacco-Free Hawaii is the only independent organization in Hawaii whose sole mission is to reduce tobacco use through education, policy and advocacy. The organization is a nonprofit organization of more than 3,000 organizations and members working to create a healthy Hawaii through comprehensive tobacco prevention and control efforts.
