Rock Out with Your Console Out
Playing and managing your music in text mode.
Some of you probably have played audio files from the terminal with
one-line commands, such as
play, or even used the command line to open
a playlist in a graphical music player. Command-line integration is one
of the many advantages of using Linux software. This is an introduction
for those who want the complete listening experience—browsing, managing
and playing music—without leaving the text console.
Thanks to the Ncurses (New Curses) widget library, developers can design text user interfaces (TUIs) to run in any terminal emulator. An Ncurses application interface is interactive and, depending on the application, can capture events from keystrokes as well as mouse movements and clicks. It looks and works much like a graphical user interface, except it's all ASCII—or perhaps ANSI, depending on your terminal. If you've used GNU Midnight Commander, Lynx or Mutt, you're already familiar with the splendors of Ncurses.
An intuitive interface, whether textual or graphical, is especially
important in a media player. No one wants to sift through a long man
page or resort to Ctrl-c just to stop an annoying song from
playing on repeat, and most users (I'm sure some exceptions exist among
Linux Journal readers) don't want to type out a series of commands just
ls the songs in an album's directory, decide which one
you want to hear and
play it, and then
play a
song in a different directory. If you've ever played music with a purely
command-line application, such as SoX, you know what I'm talking
about. Sure, a single command that plays a file is quite handy; this
article, however, focuses on TUI rather than CLI applications. For many
text-mode programs, Ncurses is the window (no pun intended) to usability.
Note to developers: if you want to write a console music player, take advantage of the Curses Development Kit (CDK), which includes several ready-made widgets, such as scrolling marquees and built-in file browsing.
Now, on to the music players!
Mp3blaster was the first console music player I ever used. That was in 2007, by which time it already was a mature and full-featured application. Its history actually dates back to 1997, before the mainstream really had embraced the MP3 format, let alone the idea of an attractive interface for controlling command-line music playback. Back then, it was humbly known as "Mp3player".
Despite the name, Mp3blaster supports several formats besides MP3s. Currently, these include OGG, WAV and SID. Keep an eye out for FLAC support in the future, as it is on the to-do list in the latest source tarball.
One nice feature of Mp3blaster is the top panel showing important keyboard shortcuts for playlist management. You can scroll through this list using + and -. There is also a useful chart on the right side that shows ASCII art playback symbols (such as |> for play) above their respective shortcut keys. Press ? for detailed help.
You can customize any of the keybindings in your configuration file, which is usually located at ~/.mp3blasterrc. I had to change several of these in order to use Mp3blaster in GNOME due to conflicts with my global hot keys. Mp3blaster's default keybindings are better suited for use without X.
Figure 1. A Playlist in Mp3blaster
Herrie, meaning "clamour" in Dutch, was first released in 2006. Somehow it has escaped mention in many articles on console music players, but the Herrie community group on the music Web site Last.fm shows true fan dedication.
Herrie is great for Last.fm users because it's so easy to set up
track scrobbling. Most of the music players in this article support
scrobbling in some capacity—it's all open-source software, after all,
and in theory, you can write a script to make anything do
configuration is exceptionally simple with Herrie. All you have to do
is put your user name and password in your ~/.herrie/config/herrie.conf
file. Note that the password should not be in plain text; rather, you
should type in the output of
printf %s p4ssw0rd |
as stated in the configuration file itself.
Figure 2. Herrie shows the current playlist on top and a file browser on the bottom.
Music on Console (MOC) is a good choice for music libraries that consist of OGG, WAV and MP3 files. It's easy to use out of the box, boasting a two-paned interface similar to that of Midnight Commander, with a file browser on the left and your playlist on the right. The default keybindings are intuitive—mostly single letters that stand for what they do, such as n for "next track" and R to toggle random play, so command-line newbies need not fear any Emacs-style digital acrobatics.
MOC is my go-to Linux music player these days. It's fast and slick, and it looks just how I want now that I've edited my ~/.moc/config file to adjust the colors and the widths of each window pane. Another plus is its support for the JACK Audio Connection Kit (JACK).
The command to start MOC is
Figure 3. My Customized MOC Layout
Emacs + Bongo/EMMS
If Emacs-style digital acrobatics are your modus operandi, check out Bongo and the Emacs Multi-Media System (EMMS). Both media players run inside Emacs and provide similar functionality. The main difference is that EMMS is designed to run unobtrusively in the background, while Bongo emphasizes the user interface.
Bongo and EMMS are written in Emacs Lisp. You can install them the same way you'd install any other Emacs package; this may vary from distro to distro, but no matter what operating system you're using, you'll probably end up editing some Lisp configuration files. One of the first things to configure is your list of back ends. These programs don't actually do the dirty work of playing your music files; rather, they are front ends for other programs.
You can link any back end of your choice to a file type as well as pass
custom command-line arguments. For example, one of the back ends
Bongo recognizes by default is mpg123. If you want it to use, say, mpg321
instead, it's just a matter of editing that line in your configuration
file or using Emacs to access Bongo's built-in customization dialog with
M-x customize-group RET bongo RET. You can add a custom
back end with a few lines such as these:
(define-bongo-backend mpg321
:pretty-name "MPG-Thr33-Tw0-0ne"
:extra-program-arguments '("--loop 0")
:matcher '(local-file "mp3" "wav"))
Although I use Emacs from time to time, I'm no guru; I admit that the
time I spent with Bongo was flustering. For instance, I pressed Return
to start playing a track—easy enough—but then realized I didn't know
how to turn it off. I entered
M-x apropos RETURN
bongo and
read through the list of Bongo commands until I found the one I needed:
M-x bongo-stop. The GitHub home page reveals that
you also can
stop playback immediately with
C-c C-s, and there are
other key combinations for fancier tricks, such as
3 C-c
to stop playback after the next three tracks finish playing.
That example is a fair representation of my whole experience with Bongo so far. It can be scary if you don't know your way around Emacs very well, but it's extremely powerful and full of options that you'd probably never thought of before.
If you're a Vi/Vim fanatic, consider Vimmpc and Vimp3.

I am quite surprised that the author didn't know of cmus, as she has mentioned quite a few obscure ones.
Anyway, good article. It'll sure help a lot of people looking for console players.
Forgot CMUS
The author deserves credit for being quite thorough. Unfortunately, one of the omissions is a big one; to me, cmus is the best music player there is, holding its own against all other TUI, CLI, or GUI programs.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

I've got a number of reference counted classes in some of my applications, and also in dlls those applications use, all inheriting from and implementing a IRefCounted interface.
In order to help with finding the source of these memory leaks I want each application to maintain a list of all these refrence counted classes in existance.
The problem is the managing of instances of these lists such that their useage does not effect the usage of my classes (eg I don't need to pass a pointer to a list around all the time, instead somehow attaching it to the process).
-Theres a good chance several of these applications may be running at once, and using the same dll. Each application needs its own object list, and all the dlls etc loaded by that application need to use that list (but rember that one dll may be loaded by multiple applications...).
-The list must be destroyed after every other global and static variable in application, so the objects left in the list when its destructed are ones that truley were not correctly releashed.
I then will simply add a breakpoint to the list's destructor so I can look through any unallocated objects in the debugger.

Real World
Real World
In another world after MTV's 'Real World'
By James Endrst and James Endrst,The Hartford Courant
June 12, 1992
Norman Korpi is back in the real world after spending three months in "The Real World" of MTV.A 25-year-old product designer living in New York's Brooklyn borough, Mr. Korpi was one of the seven young adults picked to star in "The Real World," a calculated mix of soap opera and rockumentary that in less than a month has become MTV's top-rated show. (The 13-episode program is broadcast Thursday nights.).Looking back, Mr. Korpi says, "It wasn't a real experience; it was a surreal experience.
'Real World' finally gaining a personality
By John J. O'Connor and John J. O'Connor,New York Times News Service
July 9, 1992
Billed as a reality-based soap opera, MTV's "The Real World" is real largely by accident, and its seven principal players are far too independent to be stuffed into a tidy little soap opera. Yet this force-fed documentary series, reaching the 9th of its 13 half-hour episodes on tonight at 10 p.m., has been steadily evolving into the year's most riveting television, a compelling portrait of twentysomethings grappling with the '90s.In the beginning, the executive producers Mary-Ellis Bunim and Jonathan Murray (she comes out of network daytime drama, he from news and documentary production)

This is what happens in the real world.New bosses take over with new ideas about how the business should run, new opinions about the employees, new visions of the future.Is there a working stiff in this country who hasn't experienced that unsettling set of circumstances and wondered about his standing at work?
Graduates celebrate, gird for 'real world'

May 23, 1994
Caps and gowns were the dress, and character and the uncertain future were the themes as four Maryland colleges unleashed 3,500 graduates yesterday into the "real world of work."The future is likely to bring some frustrations, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson told 650 Morgan State University graduates, including 141 who received advanced HTC degrees.Mr. Wilson, who wrote "Fences," "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" and "The Piano Lesson," said the world is more fast-paced and competitive than when he graduated from college, and he urged students to persevere through the uncertain times they may face.
'The Real World' watches seven people try to live together
By Steve McKerrow and Steve McKerrow,Staff Writer
May 21, 1992
Now, the first thing to know about "The Real World" is that it isn't the real world. Nowhere in the real world are seven young people set up in a nicely furnished SoHo loft apartment expressly for the purpose of being on television.But this is the MTV world. And the cable music network tonight tweaks another TV convention in undeniably fascinating style.Billed as a "young adult soap opera," the half-hour "The Real World" series debuts at 10 p.m. with two episodes.The twist of the show is that the seven people we see moving into the Manhattan apartment -- four guys and three women, aged 19 to 25 -- are not actors.
As 'Real World' turns, seven go on with their lives

Bringing to a close television's most unusual drama, Julie, Becky, Norman, Kevin, Heather, Eric and Andre make their swan song tomorrow on cable's MTV network -- and if you don't know who these young folks are, you're just not tuned into "The Real World."The seven people age 19 to 25 moved into a Manhattan loft apartment earlier this year to live an unscripted, "reality-based soap opera."Chosen by MTV from about 500 applicants, these non-performers agreed to live three months of their lives in front of camera crews.
Even 'quant jocks' need to live in the real world
By TOM PETERS
December 6, 1993
I had dinner with an old friend and talented consultant about a week after he started a new assignment. We ended up talking past one another.He'd spit out nonstop statistics, demonstrating how his client wasn't keeping up in this or that market segment, etc. Then I'd interrupt with something like, "But who's doing something interesting in the industry? . . . Didn't I read about a weird new product that . . .?"In short, he's a "quant jock," as we used to call the numbers fanatics at the consulting firm McKinsey & Co. I'm a "cases" kinda guy, who wants to know "who's doing something neat."
It's time to abandon the real world of sports
By WILEY A. HALL
February 9, 1995
I have a special fondness for madmen in literature -- the gentle Don Quixote types who look around and decide that the so-called real world is not quite lovely enough for their tastes. And so, they wrap themselves in a cocoon of fantasy. And they live there and are content, happily ever after.I think it takes courage to go crazy like that -- because people laugh.J. Henry Waugh is the gentle lunatic of Robert Coover's 1968 novel, "The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop."
Braving The Real World To See Phelps' Accident In Person
By JEAN MARBELLA
August 16, 2009
The call about Michael Phelps' car accident on Calvert Street crackled over the newsroom police radio as I was about to leave work Thursday night. My first thought was, when I get home, I'll have to go online and see what happened. But then, a moment of clarity, a sense of the absurdity: I was going to get on my computer to see what was happening on a street corner just several blocks from where I was standing? When did the real world become a place for people who can't handle the Internet?

Workplace Communication
In an era of Casual Fridays and work-from-home colleagues, how can you maintain effective office communication in a changing business climate?
We'll steer you through changes in business etiquette, and help you successfully navigate through the new realities of workplace conflict and office politics.
When you hear "negotiation," what comes to mind? When I ask this question at seminars, women often respond: men in suits arguing and yelling; buying a car; attorneys. When I ask how many women enjoy negotiating, only a few hands go up. Yet in reality, women are born to negotiate.
In business writing, bullet points often replace regular old paragraphs, with good reason: Readers can scan them faster. Stick to these standards for using bullets effectively:
"Is anyone receiving raises?" That's what one admin asked recently. "I've been told performance reviews will be coming up soon. I want to be prepared. How do you bring it up? How do you know how much to ask for? I'd like to stay in this position, but I'm only making ends meet."
Build a stronger relationship with your boss by never letting these phrases cross your lips: 1. "It's not my job." 2. "It's not my fault." 3. "I can't work with Person A." 4. "I can't do X, because I have to do Y." 5. "That's not possible."
Being an effective manager means confronting those "challenging" employees who, while typically good at their jobs, too often display unprofessional or downright obnoxious behavior. The best way to tackle such problems is to meet with employees right when you spot the problem behavior. Follow these guidelines, which have the side benefit of protecting the organization from employee claims that they weren't treated fairly.

Ashlee Simpson's Street Style! (Photos)natalieklein
Ashlee Simpson shows off her street style as she goes out and about in the Soho district of New York City.
We have seen a lot of Ashlee and she definitely has her own style!
Those sunglasses looks like she stopped by strawberry fields to pay her condolences to John Lennon!
I also just noticed she is wearing super huge silver hoops!!! They look like you could use them as bracelets?
What do you think? Did you or would you wear those large sunglasses?

Banks can significantly reduce their bad debt levels and collections expenses, by identifying first-party fraud cases before they reach collections. Advanced network analytics is the key to early detection and prevention of threats before they result in large losses.
First-party fraud occurs when customers apply for credit cards, loans, overdrafts or other un-secured banking credit lines with no intention of paying. Often these customers will collaborate with bank employees to assist them in their fraudulent activities. Once a bank�s customer, these fraudsters need to build up their credit score to increase their achievable credit lines and maximize their eventual earnings.
First-party fraudsters often �fly below the radar� of analytics which are commonly used by banks today. This is because traditional analytics are not well equipped to find first-party fraud and also because fraudsters are adept at using various techniques to determine the rules and thresholds, often assisted by bank employees, thus avoiding the triggering of alarms. Conventional fraud analytics only look at the individual account holder behavior which typically does not trigger any alarms as fraudsters are highly skilled at generating �normal� behavior within those accounts.
The Detica NetReveal� platform uses social network analysis to uncover fraudulent networks and, typically, at a much earlier point in the cycle. It flags further applications from succeeding and allows investigators to review the current levels of available credit to those accounts linked to the fraudulent network.

Retirement is somethin' else. pic.twitter.com/9GurtjZ4E9— RTRC (@RoadToRadioCity) July 28, 2014 MMQB.com's Peter King caught up with Jordan Gross, the former Carolina Panthers left tackle who retired this offseason. And he noted that Gross is about 235 pounds, down from about 305 at the end of last season. Gross actually looks like he's lost a lot more than 70 pounds. The crazy thing is, Gross told King he's not trying to lose weight. He's just eating right and lightly exercising. And to listen to Gross talking about why he retired, we're reminded that with all the health concerns for current and former NFL players, men doing everything they can to stay at or above 300 pounds is one that doesn't get enough attention. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-s...erent-person-after-weight-loss-205842337.html

I am developing a web app that accesses some external JSON data. I'm currently using jQuery's getJSON to get the data and call the callback.
My internet at home is terrible, so I'm regularly not connected. I am looking for a way to develop this app while disconnected from the internet.
My initial thought was to have an OFFLINE variable that I set, which changes the location of the scripts to a local file, but because jQuery's getJSON uses dynamically named functions for callbacks, it would need some server intelligence.
More info on how getJSON callbacks work here: http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.getJSON
I'm sure there's an easier way. Any suggestions?
** Edit **
Let me try and clarify a bit I'm currently running a local web server. I have to - script tags can't reference a local file, for security reasons.
I'm currently calling getJSON with the url: http://twitter.com/status/user%5Ftimeline/user.json?callback=?
If I downloaded that json response and hosted it on the local webserver, it wouldn't work, because the callback name will change every time, yet the feed will have the function name it was originally fetched with.

Optimization of MPEG-2 / MPEG-4 AAC for error prone transmission channels
MPEG Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is the newest of the successful MPEG perceptual audio coding standards. While the basic algorithm was standardized as an extension to MPEG-2 in 1997, AAC recently has been substantially enhanced in MPEG-4. New features include additional coding tools for improved efficiency at very low bitrates, bitrate scalability extensions, and tools, which significantly enhance the performance over error prone transmission channels. The paper will report primarily on the work conducted to optimize AAC for environments with potentially high error rates, like 3G mobile networks.

Uncle Mo and John Velazquez will break from the No. 12 post in Saturday's race at Churchill Downs, where the colt was scratched on the eve of the Kentucky Derby in May because of a mystery ailment that was eventually diagnosed as liver disease.
"It gives Johnny some options going to the first turn," trainer Todd Pletcher said about Uncle Mo's post position. "It's perfect. He's a good horse getting away from the gate."
Uncle Mo will be running against an accomplished field that includes his stablemate Stay Thirsty, filly Havre de Grace, Belmont Stakes winner Ruler On Ice, Jockey Club Gold Cup winner Flat Out and Santa Anita Handicap winner Game On Dude.
Uncle Mo lost 200 pounds while he was sidelined for 4½ months. He returned to the races in August and lost the King's Bishop by a nose before winning the Kelso Handicap by three lengths earlier this month.
"He's doing as well as he can be doing," Pletcher said. "We've come a long way since May."

President's Message - By Candace Bowers - MVHA President
Since you are probably wondering why my name appears in this byline instead of that of Pat Figueroa, I will tell you with mixed feelings that I have taken on Pats role as president of our association, as Pat needs to end her term early, rather than at the end of the year. While I am happy to step into this position, I will certainly miss Pat and her dedication to all things Mountain View. The Board and I are so grateful to her for all she has done for the Association and for our city.
You might know me from the library and/or the Mountain View History Center. Ive been with the library for 26 years, first as the bookmobile driver and now as a librarian in the adult services department. I also staff the History Center on Tuesdays. Having driven the bookmobile through the neighborhoods of Mountain View for four years, I often feel that theres not a single street name I dont know. I am occasionally proven wrong, though, by a visitor to the History Center who stumps me with a questionI am constantly learning something new from our residents.
Im also hoping to meet more of you at our Spring Event on May 1, where well host a program about Mayfield, the town AND the mall. Well be welcoming Steve Staiger from the Palo Alto Historical Association, as well as our own Nick Perry. August brings our famous summer BBQ, featuring those beloved Parisian burgers. For our fall event, were planning a celebration of Mountain Views Mexican-American heritage. You can also spot us at the annual downtown parade on Saturday, April 23, (appropriately) in one of our board members vintage automobiles.
Our Spring event on May 1 will celebrate the history of Mountain Views Mexican-American community. Were still in the early stages of planning this event, and we welcome interested members to contact us with their ideas. Summer, of course, will see the return of our annual BBQ on August 7. You can expect the return of Lindas Parisian Burgers! As for our Fall event, well, thats still TBD. We welcome your suggestions!
Finally, I would like to share the good news that the Friends of the Immigrant House has indeed received the much-needed funding for the Immigrant House restoration project, from the Countys Historical Heritage Commission, in response to their grant request. The houses future location at 771. N. Rengstorff Ave. will offer the community a new city park with a historic connectiona win/win for all!
See you at the Adobe!Candace

If you want Insanity to be effective you will probably need to put some more ability points into Wisdom or Charisma when you level up to raise the save DC, since it's an "all or nothing" power (unlike the lightside Stasis Field) that does nothing at all if the enemy make their saving throw, and enemies tend to have rather good saving throws overall in the game. Force Focus does make a difference, but even common grunts will make their saves on occasion if you put all your ability score points in Strength/Constitution at levelup.

Keep in mind that Dexterity affects your Reflex saving throw as well though, so you'll probably have a pretty abysmal reflex save. There are primarily three things that offer Reflex saves: the Force Push/Whirlwind/Wave family of force powers, mines and grenades. Not too bad over all; mines can be detected and avoided, grenades can be dodged if you see them being thrown and are quick on your feet. The Push powers can be a bit more annoying since they stun or incapacitate you if you fail the saving throw, which can be devastating if you have otherwise poor defense and rely on offense primarily. But there aren't very many force using enemies in the game so it will not be a constant problem.
Still, personally I always get the Force Immunity power since it gives you an extra layer of defense against all hostile force powers and the standard AI is too stupid to use Force Breach to drop your immunity.

While Treat Injury is very useful if you get up-close with enemies a lot and have poor defense you may want to supplement it with the Death Field power as well, if you have the picks to spare. While not quite as damaging as Force Storm it can heal quite a lot when used against packs of enemies, and very few opponents in the game have Darkside damage resistance.

Keep in mind that this requires some advance knowledge of where you are going and what's about to happen unless you plan on bringing Atton or T3 along all the time, since there are a fair number of a areas in the game where you are unable to change which party members you bring along. (Not that T3 is a bad choice though, it's a tank once you've gotten all its personal upgrades and give it a pair of good, upgraded blasters and a plasma/flamethrower or carbonite ray.

Personally I think Flurry would be the better of the two if you have to choose. It gives you an extra attack/round all the time, while Critical Strike only increases your chance of doing a critical hit. And if you are into critical hits I personally prefer Master Power Attack + the Shien lightsaber form instead since they up the damage multiplier to X4 on a critical hit and knock the victim down as well.
Master Power Attack works well if you dual wield (+1), use Master Speed or Fury (+2) and use the Juyo lightsaber form (+2) since by then you already have 5 attacks/round, which is the max possible, and thus Master Flurry wouldn't do anything. (Getting flurry may still be a good idea for when you use another saber form, or fight enemies with too high Defense for Power Attack to be useful.)

That shouldn't really be a limiting factor in how you choose to build your characters, in my opinion. Sometimes it's more fun to make a different character than the most power gamed munchkin possible.
And the difficulty of the game is adapted so it's possible to get through it no matter how you build your characters (with the side effect of making power gamers complain it's too easy

" Four years ago I was having knee, leg and foot pain and decided to spend more $$ than I usuallly do and try the Orthaheel brand. I bought a pair of womens Tide sandals in plum and cranberry. I have never worn any other sandal/flip flop since!! they are amazing, I could walk 100 miles in them!
I love how Footwear etc. carries so many great brands to choose from, they are always very helpful.
I went yesterday to Footwear etc. in Ranco Bernardo CA to look for another pair of Orthaheel sandals; needed something a little more dressy. Thanks to the help of Ashley I tried on the Carla II bronze metallic sandal (not my first choice) but she said try them you will like them. Yup I love them, they look great with dresses or shorts and have the same fantastic comfort I'm use to in the Orthaheel brand."

A nationwide patient safety project reduced the rate of central line-associated bloodstream infections in ICUs by 40%, according to preliminary findings.
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, which supplied funding, called the project the largest national effort to date to reduce CLABSIs. Through the program, clinicians prevented more than 2,000 CLABSIs, saved more than 500 lives and avoided more than $34 million in healthcare costs, according to a news release.
Hospital teams at more than 1,100 ICUs in 44 states participated in the project over a four-year period. Participating hospitals reduced the rate of CLABSIs nationally from 1,903 infections to 1,137 infections per 1,000 central line days, for an overall reduction of 40%, according to the preliminary findings.
The project used the Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program, a customizable program that helps hospital units address the foundation of how clinical teams care for patients. It combines clinical best practices with an understanding of the science of safety, improved safety culture and an increased focus on teamwork, according to the news release.
Based on the experiences gained in this project, the CUSP toolkit helps nurses, physicians and other members of the clinical team understand how to identify safety problems and gives them the tools to tackle these problems. It includes teaching tools and resources to support implementation at the unit level.
The first broad-scale application of CUSP was in Michigan, under the leadership of the Michigan Health & Hospital Association, where it was used to significantly reduce CLABSIs in that state. It was expanded to 10 states and then nationally through an AHRQ contract to the Health Research & Educational Trust, the research arm of the American Hospital Association.
CUSP was created by a team led by Peter J. Pronovost, MD, PhD, senior vice president for patient safety and quality at Johns Hopkins Medicine. Pronovost described CUSP as "a really simple concept: Trust the wisdom of your front-line clinicians."
Details about AHRQs national CUSP project are available at http://www.ahrq.gov/qual/hais.htm, and the CUSP toolkit is available at www.ahrq.gov/cusptoolkit/.
CUSP builds on work led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its evidence-based recommendations on treating infections. Together with the National Action Plan to Prevent Healthcare Associated Infections (www.hhs.gov/ash/initiatives/hai/index.html) and the Partnership for Patients (www.healthcare.gov/compare/partnership-for-patients/), AHRQs efforts are a part of a coordinated approach drawing on expertise across the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

I love helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs increase their reach and expand their income. In fact, years back... I was inspired to get into online marketing for that very reason.
See, my life has been profoundly impacted by entrepreneurs who had the courage to share their wisdom and desire to change people's lives.
So, after college, I decided that I needed to learn the ropes from some of the best marketers and entrepreneurs in the world - and I was fortunate to be able to do so. For almost 3 years, I was the marketing manager at an online financial education company called The Elevation Group, which has generated more than $30 million and has taught more than 50,000 members since 2010.
Since then, I've partnered with Sumer Copywriting to develop strategy and build full-service online sales funnels for select clients, as well as do occasional promos and projects for referrals from friends.
Contact Me
If you're serious about starting or growing your online business and you want a funnel built with solid strategy and copy (so that it converts), email me here with who you are, what your business is, and what you're looking to do, and we'll see if it's a fit :).

JURUPA VALLEY, Calif. (AP) -- A food preservative is being blamed for a strong odor that sent at least 35 employees at a Southern California warehouse to the hospital.
Melody Hendrickson, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection in Riverside County, said Saturday that sodium benzoate was the cause of the fumes. The substance becomes an irritant when it becomes moist.
Hendrickson says none of those hospitalized were seriously injured in the Jurupa Valley incident late Friday.
The investigation is continuing at Swift Transportation, which was described by KCAL-TV as a distribution center for Wal-Mart and Sam's Club.
Nineteen employees who were overcome by the odor were taken to the hospital by ambulance. The rest were transported by bus.

I updated my blog to the latest update. Now all of a sudden, I can not post to my blog through my phone, Chrome, or Safari at all. My blog won't even come up.
I get the error message: Fatal error: "Call to undefined function wp_register_plugin_realpath() in /home/content/94/11197794/html/wp-settings.php on line 213" when I click on Dashboard, Posts, Pages, etc. The only page that comes up is statistics and I could care less about that.
I need to be able to post to this blog (and am behind) for personal as well as school reasons. Please advise on how to correct this.

Fischer Audio DBA-02
" Introduction A warning before we even get to the review. This is kinda lengthy. I'm not sure how it got so long since it is just one product but yeah it is a bit long. Fischer Audio has slowly gained popularity over the last year or so and there was quite a buzz on them but nothing interested me enough to go out and purchase them. That changed when LFF posted a review on the DBA 02 and..." --rawrster
Fischer Audio TBA-04 IEM
"When my 2 year old DBA02 mkii's lost left channel signal strength, I needed a replacement, pronto. I took note of some good sounding < IEMs from |joker|'s list and headed off to the nearest headphone store - to tide me over till I went custom, so the idea went. (I totally agree with |joker|'s 9.2 assessment of SQ on the DBA 02 mkii, fyi) As it turned out, they..." --exsomnis
Fischer Audio DBA-02 Mk II
" The DBA-02 Mk IIs are getting a lot of the same fame and respect their initial version siblings got. While initial comparisons suggest the Mk IIs are not as distinctive as the originals in shining with as fearless a midrange and treble, the major sonic character seems to have carried. (I never heard the originals but have gathered this from others' opinions.) And..." --ScuderiaHeadFi
Fischer Audio Omega Twin
"The Twins is the top offering from the Omega Series ($79 USD), "the one-solution companion for your entire day" "giving you a fantastic experience be it commuting, casual listening or hitting the fitness arena", further aided with a 1 button remote for smartphone users. The Twins claim to be the "choice for those that demand only the best" when working and working out. This is quite a..." --Tom22
Fischer Audio Omega Ace
"Just gonna do a brief review. Got these for RM250, which translates to roughly 62USD. For that price, you would not even be able to find another pair of over-the-ear IEMs. Overall, the build feels pretty solid despite the plastic housing and it comes with a twisted cable. The drivers aren't big, and thus fits into the ears well without any protruding parts. Comfort wise, these pair of IEMs are..." --Asher Lim
Koss RUK 30K Noise Isolating In-Ear Stereophone, Black
"I tested it with Dr.Chesky's Binaural album and Depeche Mode flacs. What I like most is of course bass response..it is more than enough, maybe a bit exaggerated, aggressive. Overall, I am really satisfied this excessive response in some genres.The only real problem it is prone to loudness noise of the record.. Maybe this is because the drivers are too sensitive. I am not that high end..." --ajlan
The Plug Earbuds
"i hate when they do that. i was using kdx100 & kdx200 for nearly 1 year and i did spent a stable $120 for the two. now i'm realizing actually the $15 ruk30 and $7 plug weren't much worse. kdx200 was a little different from ruk30 at least, but comparing plug to kdx100 just hurts... this was something i was expecting after ruk30 vs kdx200 comparison but god knows i wasn't expecting a totally..." --vaziyetu
Fischer Audio Consonance White Earphones, Headphones for New Music Re-Vitalized
"Introduction: Sometimes in life, things kinda catch you by surprise when you least expect it and this is exactly what I found with the Fischer Audio Consonance Earphone.

However, there was a downside like with most things in life and that was the..." --mcook1970
Fischer Audio ToughStuff-9001
" Straight out of SANSA Clip+ Bass is accurate, punchy and deep, the mids are slightly recessed and the treble is very crisp. Clarity is up to Fischer standards, no veiled sound here.

Fischer Audio Eterna
" So I owned a pair of CX300II's for over 4 years and finally decided to get a new pair. Of course, I was looking to upgrade from the sennheiser in terms of Bass and overall quality.

These were good. My husband forgot the oil, but they still turned out good. They tasted just like the GF Pancake mix!
Perfect! I used this in place of Pamela's Pancake Mix in Pamela's Pancakes - Gluten Free and it worked wonderfully. Thanks for posting!
Great recipe, if you're only gluten restricted and not dairy restricted this recipe could benefit from adding a tablespoonful or two of butter. Overall they're great!!
This has become a staple in my kitchen. I never let the container empty, just in case I wake up wanting a quick and tasty breakfast!
Great pancakes! My son is on a gluten free diet and it's so hard to find good recipes that he likes! For the gluten free liquid I used part applesauce and part rice milk and a little water. They turned out great! I even had a few myself! Thanks for a great recipe!

Access, Participation and Partnerships
Application and admission process
How do I apply?
To apply for the High Achiever Program 2016, you will need to submit an application.
Applications for the 2016 High Achiever Program have now CLOSED.
You will receive written notification of the application outcome by early February 2016. You will need to decide which unit(s) you would like to enrol in. Generally you will only be permitted to study one unit per semester. You will need to consult the section on units offered in 2016 in order to complete the application form.
How do we select students?
Shortly after the closing date, the admissions committee will review applicants' documentation and, if necessary, contact schools and principals for further information regarding an application. Students will be assessed as to their suitability for their selected unit(s) in accordance with the stipulated pre-requisite or co-requisite TCE/IB subjects.
If the unit is not available, we will contact all applicants and discuss alternative units or the option of withdrawal.
The University will provide written notification of the outcome of your application, whether successful or unsuccessful, by early February 2016. NOTE: If you wish to change units once you have enrolled please contact the enrolments team at the University of Tasmania and identify yourself as a HAP student. You must not change your enrolment online.
What happens after Year 12?
Enrolment in the High Achiever Program while you are studying year 11 or 12 is not the same as being admitted to a degree program at the University of Tasmania. This means that you will need to apply for entrance to the University as a Year 12 leaver through the normal procedures if you wish to gain a place in a degree program at the University of Tasmania on completion of your Year 12 studies.
As the studies being undertaken in the High Achiever Program are standard University of Tasmania units, students who are successful in achieving a pass grade or higher will be eligible to apply for credit towards a relevant degree program. Once you have been granted credit towards the degree for which you have applied, you have a number of options:
- Accelerate your studies - start on second year units during your first year at University
- Broaden your studies - undertake an extra first-year unit in an area of interest
- Reduce your study load - as you will have less than a full-time load, you have the opportunity to undertake some work experience, or pursue other personal interests.

Are craft spirits the next big thing in the Twin Cities?
Craft local-made whiskey may soon be coming to your cup
There are several hopefuls moving forward around the metro area, now that lawmakers have lowered the fee for distilling permits from over $30,000 to the more manageable neighborhood of $1,000. Many are also crossing their fingers that Minnesota laws will soon change to allow them to sell their spirits onsite (much like the Surly bill opened the door for the taproom boom). Here are just a few that will be opening soon in the metro area.

The submissions are rolling in! And it has been exciting to read women in our community sharing their own take on Holding Hands and pivotal experiences in their lives that relate to this theme.
I have received several questions about joining the group, so wanted to send you some clarifying instructions for submitting your story and I apologize for any prior confusion. Please follow these steps to participate:
1. Join the Group
Join the "My Story" group on PulseWire. We will use this group to make announcements. If you participated in My Story last year, then you are already a member. http://www.worldpulse.com/pulsewire/groups/14348
2. Submit your story
Post your 400 words or less story to your personal journal. The topic is Holding Hands. We encourage creative interpretations of this general theme, but the piece must be non-fiction. We are looking for personal stories of women around the world describing pivotal experiences in their lives, in their own words.* Go to "My Pulse" on the top navigation bar. Select "Post to My Journal." * Choose a creative title for your post. * In the "Tags" field, enter MyStory2010 * Write your submission in the journal entry field. * Click "Submit" and you're done!
3. Support your community
Read your fellow PulseWire members' stories for some inspiration. Offer a comment to further the dialogue by asking questions, adding your opinion or simply showing support. http://www.worldpulse.com/taxonomy/term/8305
hello :)
I tagged my journal entry MyStory2010, but it does not seem to appear in the group journal. Have I done something wrong?
Hi Aleksandra,
Good question! Tagging your journal does not make it appear in the group. The only purpose of the group is for us to keep you updated about the My Story submission process, announce the winners, etc.
So you have correctly submitted your story and it can be found with the other submissions here: http://www.worldpulse.com/taxonomy/term/8305
We are so happy to have you here in the PulseWire community and I hope that you continue sharing your voice with us! It is exciting to have a new member from Serbia, as we do not have many members from this part of the world. Thank you for participating in My Story!
In friendship, Jade
Hi Jade,
I just submitted a story for the 'Holding Hands' contest. After tagging, i had only submitted once. But when I look at this link: http://www.worldpulse.com/taxonomy/term/8305, my story appears twice. The date and and time for both the submissions are just the same. Not sure how this happened. Can one of these submissions be deleted?
Let me know, Sowmya
Dear Sowmya,
Thank you for submitting your story - I look forward to reading it! I have deleted the second copy of your submission, so only one appears in the tagged story submissions.
Warm regards, Jade
when is the deadline
Hi Jade,
I think I also did something wrong... somehow when I tagged my journal entry "MyStory2010" I didn't see the story in the group journal. So I tried to post the story to the group journal, and now I think it appears twice? Can you please delete one of them?
Also in your first comment you're telling Alexandra that tagging her journal entry with "MyStory" doesn't make her story appear on the group journal? But these are the instructions of the submission.... it says to post to our journal and tag .... gosh I am so confused.... in short, can you just make sure pls that I did it right?
thanks, khulud
Hi Khulud,
Sorry this is so confusing! The only reason we asked members to join the group, is so we have a place to make announcements. The guidelines are to post your story to your journal and tag your journal mystory2010, so that it appears in the tag page of submissions: http://www.worldpulse.com/taxonomy/term/8305
The only way for a post to appear in a group, is if you post it directly in the group journal by clicking the "Contribute" tab on the group page. Tags are just keywords that allow others to search by keyword or subject to find your journal.
You can read more about tagging here: http://www.worldpulse.com/node/15418
I deleted your journal in the My Story group per your request and your original post in your personal journal that you correctly tagged, appears with the other tagged submissions. So no need to worry - your story was submitted correctly and will be considered for publication!
I hope that clears things up for you. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Warm regards, Jade

I have a windows 7 system on which I have installed UltraVNC
I use it to connect to my Apple Lion X. It works most of the time, but sometimes when I choose my username it hangs, meaning that I can't type anything else, sometimes it lets me type a few characters of my password and then it hangs.
To resolve this I have to restart the Mac; after restart it will work for a few times, and then the same thing happens again.
What can I do about this?

Medicaid's Perverse Incentives
This article from ALEC by James Frogue points out that state medicaid programs are in trouble because spending is increasing and the states are having difficulty keeping up with the increases. Political leaders have little understanding of what is wrong with Medicaid, much less how to fix it. The problem with medicaid is that it has perverse incentives--there are financial rewards for ineffciency in the system. Frogue explains what Medicaid is and then offers ideas to reform the system.

LONDON (AP) -- The Church of England has put off a decision on whether to let women serve as bishops because of continuing disagreements between contending factions.
Monday's action by the church's General Synod to adjourn debate means that the issue will not come up again until November.
The church has spent years seeking a formula which would honor the concerns of traditionalists while allowing the consecration of women to go ahead.
Many senior female priests objected to the latest compromise proposed by bishops, saying it would mark women as second-class people.
Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams says the decision to adjourn "gives us at least the chance of lowering the temperature and explaining ourselves to each other."
