Holidays in Benidorm have got real star quality – and that's not just because of the famous TV series! Yes, ITV's Benidorm has helped to capture the interest of an entirely new audience about the resort's delights. But when you arrive you'll soon realise that the real allure of holidays in Benidorm lies in the fact it offers brilliant value and amazing attractions.
The starring attractions of Benidorm
The sheer number of activities and attractions in Benidorm is staggering. There are four huge theme parks all less than a few miles away, with the biggest, Terra Mitica, rivalling the best in Europe. Activities are often very family friendly, with fun and educational trips to zoos and aquariums always on the cards. Scenic sights lie within the resort itself at the Balcon de Meditteraneo, whilst the Waterfalls of Algar (also as seen on TV's Benidorm) make for a stunning watery paradise just ten miles away.
Benidorm has been neatly divided into five separate districts each with their own unique atmosphere. For instance, Levante is a top place for British bars and restaurants, plus it boasts the biggest beach in the resort. Poniente is a little quieter and as such is ideally suited to families and couples, whereas the Old Town (also known as El Castell) is the place to go to experience a little more authentic Spanish culture at the local tapas bars here. The newer area of Rincon de Loix is where you'll find a choice of hotels such as the Deloix Aquacentre from our Family Favourites range, as well as favourite attractions such as Benidorm Palace (a top entertainment spot) and the bustling indoor market.
And what great entertainment you'll find during holidays in Benidorm! Cabaret Clubs are dotted around the entire resort, with many being completely free. When you add this to the fact that drinks and meals are heavily discounted with special offers to tempt you in, you'll realise that cheap holidays in Benidorm are always a possibility.
So much to see, so much to do, on holidays in Benidorm
Wow, where do we start when it comes to activities and attractions during holidays in Benidorm? Benidorm has been known for great value entertainment (such as free cabaret acts) since the sixties, but it's massively moved on since then. It's now a thoroughly modern resort with everything nearby, including a huge theme park, quirky museums, beautiful churches, aquariums, zoos, golf courses and even natural scenic wonders. Phew! How many other package holidays can claim to have that many attractions within easy reach?
So we'll start with the large attractions first. You'll notice on your holidays in Benidorm that nothing is done by halves. That's why instead of just being satisfied with one large attraction, Benidorm actually has four! The main, massive theme park on the outskirts of Benidorm is called Terra Mitica. Separated into the themed sections of the ancient civilisations of Rome, Iberia, Egypt and Greece, there are incredible rides and rollercoasters here with some reaching top speeds of 60mph! And even if you don't feel up to the challenge of the riding the rollercoasters, there's still plenty here to entertain you, with more than 35 live acrobatic and theatrical shows taking place every day.
Next, another huge attraction, MundoMar, is based in the Rincon de Loix area of Benidorm. This sea life centre has daily dolphin, sea lion and parrot shows, while the monkeys, flamingos and penguins get plenty of attention too. And if seeing the dolphins enjoying all those gallons of cool water makes you feel like splashing around too, Aqualandia should be the next attraction on your list. Set amongst leafy landscaped gardens just 3 miles from the centre of Benidorm, Aqualandia is one of the largest waterparks in the world. It has more than 15 slides and rides covering an area of 150,000 square metres.
Do those three parks sound like fun? Well best of all, if you book all inclusive holidays for 1st June – 30th September 2012 at the Hotel Palm Beach Benidorm with Jet2holidays, we'll give you unlimited entrance to all three attractions!
And it doesn't stop there! Terra Natura is a huge zoo that boasts over 1,500 animals from 200 different species. The unique concept here is that many of the animals are only enclosed by protective glass, meaning you can get up close for great photos with no bars in the way. The zoo is actually split into four themed areas, America, Asia, Pangea and Europe according to where the animals come from. Your ticket represents the kind of great value to be expected on cheap holidays in Benidorm as it also includes entry to the waterpark within the grounds of the zoo.
In fact, as popular that holidays to Benidorm are, there's ample opportunity to discover unexpected activities and attractions. The Wax Museum is always a tourist favourite, but it's a rather quirky take on the usual waxworks you may expect to see, as figures range from Elvis to Charlie Chaplin and even fictional characters. Sightseeing is also at its best in Benidorm Old Town, it has a more authentic character than the rest of the resort and you can also visit the white-washed, blue-domed Church of San Jaime. The fairytale castle named Castillo Conde de Alfaz also fits onto this list. Visit the colourful orange towers topped by red peaked spires and you can enjoy a fun medieval theme night which also includes a banquet fit for a king. The night includes horse riding and jousting performances, and there's even a disco afterwards too.
Plus, you may have seen the Waterfalls of Algar featured on the Benidorm TV series, but it's definitely better to see them in person! Around 10 miles from Benidorm in Callosa d'en Sarria; the cascading water flowing amongst moss-covered rocks into a glittering turquoise pool is an enchanting sight. You can even swim in the waterfall pools too.
"If you get a chance try to visit Mundomar in Benidorm. It is well worth a visit and a great day out."
Superb value British home cooking and unique Spanish treats
Holidays in Benidorm are brilliant when it comes to eating out because there's so much choice. Here's an amazing fact – there are over 1,000 restaurants in Benidorm! So as you can imagine, everyone's tastes are catered for.
If full English Breakfasts available all day sounds like a top treat to you, then you'll love the Levante area. It's here that many of the British-owned bars and restaurants are found, where tasty pub grub like pie and chips is on almost every corner. And whilst there's ample opportunity to get stuck in to bangers and mash or juicy steaks, another even more pleasing part of eating out is the price. Cooked breakfasts start from as low as two euros and three course meals can be had for less than a tenner.
But you don't just have to have British food on your holidays in Benidorm, there are lots of restaurants that serve the takeaway classics we've come to know and love. Chinese, Indian and Italian restaurants are dotted around throughout the resort, so you could just as easily find your favourite curry or pizza for an amazingly cheap price.
For a more authentic eating experience, many of the best Spanish restaurants in Benidorm are to be found in the Old Town. The tapas bars here are a genuine delight, plus as tapas is served as smaller dishes (where you order two to three each) it's the best cuisine for sharing! One more thing, look out for the 'Menu del Dia' advertised outside many restaurants. These set-menu deals are often fantastic value and usually include three courses and a drink for a very low price.
Maybe you'd prefer to save yourself the trouble of looking for restaurants every evening? Hotels in Benidorm offer a range of board options, from self catering at the Paraiso 10 Apartments to all inclusive holidays in Benidorm at the Marconfort Flamingo Benidorm, and lots more hotels ranging from 2* to 5*.
Huge stretches of golden coastline
There are three main beaches in Benidorm, including two huge arcs of golden sand that seemingly stretch for miles. The enduring image of Benidorm is often of the photographs angled at Levante Beach. This is the image you're also likely to see when you arrive for your holidays in Benidorm – it's a curve of glittering sand and emerald water dominated by the Manhattan-like skyscraper skyline above. It's no wonder that Benidorm is often nicknamed 'BeniYork'! But back to the beach itself – Levante stretches for over 2km and is incredibly wide too, so even at its most popular in the summer holidays it never seems too crowded.
The two largest beaches in Benidorm are named after the areas they are closest to, so Levante Beach is by the Levante district, whilst Poniente Beach is at the coast of Poniente. These two lengthy shores are only split by a peaked rock and a small harbour, so the sand you can expect on both is much the same soft, golden variety. Poniente is also very wide but it's often preferred by families and couples because it's a tad quieter than the ever-popular Levante. Poniente has also enjoyed a recent renovation in the form of a multi-million euro promenade and a boardwalk to assist disabled beachgoers.
Mal Pas is the tiny cove between the two beach behemoths of Levante and Poniente. It's only 120m long, but for a complete change of scenery you could always choose to do your sunbathing here. High sided stone and palm trees encircle the beach, and it sits close to the Old Town and its grand church of San Jaime.
"Visit the wonderful beaches in Benidorm."
Never-ending entertainment on holidays in Benidorm
You'll be blown away by the range of entertainment on offer during holidays in Benidorm! Brilliantly, the resort has still upheld the great value tradition of free cabaret acts (often starting at 9pm). So as you only pay for the cost of your drinks it's entirely possible to have a very cheap night out.
The variety of entertainment shows is simply staggering. Within just a few streets you'll come across clubs headlining comedians, clowns, ventriloquists, dancers, singers, tribute acts, drag acts and live bands. Plus, if you'd like to start a little entertainment yourself there are many karaoke bars dotted across the resort.
And did we mention that the drinks are very cheap too? There are over 800 bars in Benidorm, with many of them vying for your attention by offering extra long happy hours, discounted drinks and 2 for 1 deals. British bars and pubs are in abundance, so you won't have a problem picking out a top drinking spot. Lots of bars have a range of facilities to tempt you in, from pool tables and dartboards to huge widescreen TVs playing the latest sports. Many openly welcome families too.
But whilst holidays in Benidorm offer a great choice of cheap drinks and family focused bars, the resort actually has a fantastic clubbing scene too. The focal point for nightlife is known as The Square, which features lively nightspots such as Bar Kya. The famed Club Ku attracts many famous DJs over the summer while the Hippodrome has a raucous atmosphere playing club classics to an energetic crowd.

Summary: The ration bars weren't all, or even most, of what they found on that transport ship.

Chapter One
A/N: This is my first attempt at writing in the Firefly 'verse, hope it's not too confusing...answers to most of the questions brought up will come in the later chapters, but if something confuses you, be sure to ask and I'll see about incorporating the explanations :) please leave reviews, let me know what you think. Oh yeah, I don't own BTVS or Firefly. love xx Shezzi (PS, but the way, yes, I do know what would really happen to the human body when exposed to hard vacuum, I have studied physics, but just go with it, it makes it work. love xx Shezzi) PPS Anything written in Italics is Chinese, and there are translations at the end of the chapter for those who want to see what the chinese would have been)
Awesome fanart provided by LindZloo...luvya darl!
The three suited figures hung in the vacuum of space, studying the sealed door in front of them carefully.
"Vault's sealed. Okay, I'm gonna blow it, Jayne, give me the sticky." Mal reached out towards the other man, who carefully handed over the tool, and drifted back slightly to watch as Mal applied it around the lock. He triggered it, then pushed off lightly, stopping himself with a hand to another piece of wreckage. "OK, we get the goods, we're off this wreck and back on the ship, no worries," declared Mal. The sticky quickly melted into the metal around the lock until it had completely eaten it away, and the lock blew out, followed by a stream of atmosphere.
"Full pressure...the goods must be intact." Zoe smiled with relief as the men pulled open the hatch, only to freeze in horror at the sight that met their eyes. Instead of three nice, neat boxes of ration cubes, there was a girl, staring at them with horror in her eyes as she tried unsuccessfully to pull air from the vacuum of space that a moment ago had been a sealed, pressurized, albeit tiny room.
"Oh God!" cried Mal, even as he seized her in his arms and pushed off, heading for the ship, knowing that she would be dead before he reached it.
"Captain, we have incoming Alliance cruiser bearing right down on us," came Wash's tinny voice over the radio.
," cursed Mal, even as he approached the hatch, the girl in his arms no longer struggling, the other two right behind him. "We're nearly back. The goods...they're no good, on account of the girl that was eking out a living in there, eating them and drinking the water that was stored with them...so we've probably killed her, and we have nothing to show for it. Have they hailed?"
"No, doesn't look like they're interested in us," replied Wash, uneasily.
"No sense taking chances. Start the crybaby. Get ready to run," he propelled himself through the hatchway, carefully shifting the girl to stop her from hitting her head. "We're in. Let's go!" the ramp and doors closed behind them, and atmosphere and gravity came back on. He stumbled slightly, although the girl was so light she didn't really upset his balance. He quickly laid her on the floor, fingers flying to unfasten his helmet and remove his gloves. Once his head and hands were free, he felt for a pulse while listening for any drawing of breath.
"Wash, we're in. Let's go," called Zoe, before dropping to her knees beside Mal. "Captain," she began, but he stopped her.
"She has a pulse, but she's not breathing," Mal said, leaning down to start resuscitating jumped back when she suddenly drew a deep, shuddering breath. Mal stared at Zoe, eyes wide. "
Do you understand this, my friend
I don't understand
, sir," she replied, eyes wide.
"Let's get her to the infirmary," ordered Mal, lifting the girl back in his arms and running through the ship, very confused. She shouldn't have started breathing on her own, no matter what people believed about drowning victims. She shouldn't even be alive, exposure to hard vacuum was enough to destroy the human body in moments, but here she was.
"Where we headed, Captain?" asked Wash over the radio.
"We still gotta go to Persephone, pick up Inara, and I guess we gotta let Badger know how things went down...at least some of it," he added, thoughtfully. "Plus, its the closest place to pick up some passengers, hopefully make enough to get us through to the next job," as he spoke, he laid the girl out on the bed in the infirmary and wrapped a self-warming blanket around her, trying to drive back the cold of space. He wrinkled his nose, now that he had the girl out of vacuum and could smell her, she stank. He was very much aware that she had been living in a tiny room, obviously with some kind of atmosphere generator, although he was at a loss as to what it could be, but with no other comforts. She had slept, eaten, drunk and toileted in that room since the ship went down, and she smelt like it.
"Sir, I don't think she was a willing passenger on that rutting transport," commented Zoe, lifting the girl's hand to study the thick, vicious scars at her wrists where she had apparently been tied up. She ran her fingers over the scars, and felt a lump further down the forearm, hidden under the worn fabric of her shirt. She pushed the sleeve up, and stared, before dropping the girls arm and swearing "Gorram sons of bitches, Captain, look what they did!" She turned the arm so Mal could see the scar that covered the entire underside of the girl's forearm: a brand, burned into the skin, the Alliance seal.
The blood ran cold in Mal's veins. This girl, this child, for she was no more than that, had had a brand burned into her flesh like she was no more than one of his mother's cattle. He felt the bile rise in his throat at the thought of pressing a hot iron into human flesh, and shuddered, forcing himself to swallow. Suddenly, the girl twitched, then moved her head. Her eyes flickered, then opened, and she screamed, clapping her hands to her face.
"Gorramit! Shut off the lights!" shouted Mal, realizing what at least part of the problem was.
"What?" cried Zoe, not understanding.
"Turn off the Gorram lights!" bellowed Mal, glad that the girl hadn't tried to move, at least not yet. "She's been in the dark for
I don't know
how long, Zoe," even as he started to explain, Zoe was flipping the switches on the infirmary wall, plunging the room into dim twilight. The girl stopped screaming, and pulled her legs in against her body, wrapping her arms around them and pressing her face against her thighs. "Hey, it's all right," murmured Mal, speaking as though to a frightened animal, which he felt might be about the level of conscious thought the girl currently possessed. "We ain't aiming to hurt you, little one. You're safe," he didn't try to touch her yet, not sure how she would respond, but motioned for Zoe to get the doper. He kept talking softly, gentle nonsense, moving slowly closer, as Zoe slipped around behind her with the hypospray. He gestured for her to wait, and kept talking softly.
He reached out and touched her gently, Zoe tensed behind her, ready, which turned out to be a good thing, because as soon as he touched her, she screamed and lashed out violently. She just missed his head, and Zoe immediately pressed the 'spray against her carotid artery, knocking her out.
"Captain, what are we gonna do with her?" she asked, worried.
"I do not know, but I tell you what, I'm glad the
bastard dogs
who did this is already dead, or we'd have us a serious conflict of interest. I don't want to keep her unconscious, but we need to figure something out. I don't know how we're going to get through to her, she's been living wild for some time, and obviously mishandled before that," he spoke softly at the last, almost to himself.
"That she has, sir. Those aren't her only scars. I'm gonna clean her up, why don't you...be somewhere that's else," she smiled, and waved him out. He nodded, and left, a thoughtful frown on his face. Zoe gently stripped the rags from the girl's thin body, running gentle fingers over the many scars that marked her. There were only a few that looked to be older than a few months, a year at most, the rest still had that slightly shiny, red look of newly healed tissue.
She grabbed some clothes and a pan of warm water and started to gently sponge the girl down, then dried her off. Once the worst of the dirt was gone, she grabbed some clean scrubs from a shelf and carefully dressed her. She brushed the girl's hair back from her face, staring at her. Despite everything her body had been put through, she was beautiful, fine featured with large eyes and perfect cheekbones.
"Wow, this is her then, huh?" asked Kaylee softly from the door. Zoe turned and smiled slightly, nervous.
"Yeah, this is her. She was living in the wreck, don't know how she still had breathable atmosphere but...apparently she did. We're trying to figure out what we should do with her, we don't really want to hand her over to anyone on account of this," she turned the girl's arm so that Kaylee could see the brand. Kaylee's eyes grew huge in her face, and she visibly paled.
"Oh God...who would do something like that?" she shook her head and looked at the girl's face instead. "She's so pretty," she reached out to touch her, but Zoe caught her hand half way.
"She's also pretty feral, honey. Don't get all touchy-feely, I wouldn't want her to wake up and take exception," Mal walked through the door at that point, smiling slightly at the two of them.
"We're nearly at Persephone, Wash is waving Inara now. I want you," he looked at Kaylee, "to find us some paying passengers. We," he glanced at Zoe, "are going to go and let Badger know that the goods were no good, and see if he has any other work for us. I'm gonna move her, we'll put her one of the rooms with some food, access to a bathroom, and increase the lighting by degrees until she's used to it, and we'll see about getting her used to us. We don't want the passengers knowing about her, and we don't want anyone hurt. We lock the door, and try talking to her when we can, and keep her quiet, even if it means we have to keep her drugged for now. That work for you?"
"As long as we aren't just going to dump her somewhere, I'm okay with it, at least for now. We'll see where it takes us, maybe we can find her a safe place somewhere," said Zoe, nodding. Something about dumping this little girl somewhere just didn't sit right at all, and Zoe wasn't entirely sure why.
~ ~ ~ @@ ~ ~ ~
Mal, Zoe and Jayne stood in Badger's 'office', glaring at the odious little man. "The goods were damaged, Badger. There was nothing to bring, or you would have it. We all knew going in that there was a possibility that they'd been destroyed, and they had! It's not our fault," Mal glared at Badger, who regarded him with annoyance.
"True enough, but I've only got your word for that," replied Badger, eyeing him. "Any idea what it was that damaged it?" he asked, watching them closely.
"None whatsoever. The compartment had lost pressure, must have just gone bad," Mal replied, calmly. "So, you got anything else for us?"
"Might do...there's some goods I could use transported," Badger replied slowly. "But how do I know that they won't get 'damaged' in transit?" Mal just glared at him.
"We have always done good business with you, Badger. It wasn't our fault that the goods were useless, and you got no right to hold it against us," snapped Mal, angry. He was confused, not about Badger's reaction, that was to be expected, but by his own feelings towards the girl. Part of it was just the opportunity to put one over the Alliance, by keeping something they obviously considered their property, but there was more to it than that. He felt as protective of her as he did of Kaylee, who was as close to him as a sister or possibly a daughter. It confused and bothered him, but at the same time felt right, and that bothered him even more. He pulled himself forcefully away from that line of thought, making himself concentrate on Badger.
"Well, then, this stuff needs to be delivered to Whitefall," said Badger, smiling pleasantly.
"And?" replied Mal, blandly.
"Didn't Patience shoot you the last time you were on Whitefall?" asked Badger, eyeing him closely.
"Ain't no problem betwixt us," replied Mal calmly. "Twas all in the name of business, and we'll do fair trade," Badger eyed him, then nodded.
"Pick up the cargo from Jamieson, at the Xiao Ye Boatyard," he told them. They nodded and silently took their leave. They all knew how it worked, no reason to go over the mechanics of the deal. Don't ask what the cargo is, get a fair price, split as per usual, dropping Badger's share off wherever he ordered.
~ ~ ~ @@ ~ ~ ~
Having picked up the cargo, they headed back to Serenity. As Mal approached, he saw Kaylee standing on the ramp with a young man, wearing dark glasses and a fancy suit. "Captain, this is Simon," she introduced them. Mal nodded, and Simon smiled stiffly.
"Captain Renolds," he greeted him formally, turning and entering the ship.
"That all we got?" Mal asked Kaylee, who nodded. "How's the girl?" he asked, softly.
"Not a peep out of her that I've heard, Cap'n" replied Kaylee, shrugging. He nodded and turned back to help Zoe and Jayne bring the large crate on board and stow it in an out of the way corner of the hold, away from the passengers goods.
~ ~ ~ @@ ~ ~ ~
"Simon's a doctor," said Kaylee, her voice admiring. At those words, Zoe's eyes flew to Mal's, questioning. He shook his head slightly, imperceptible to anyone but her. They weren't going to tell him about the girl, at least not yet.
~ ~ ~ @@ ~ ~ ~
Mal kicked the cover off the doctor's crate, his expression furious, fading into one of bemused surprise at the sight that met his eyes. "Huh," was all he said, as he almost took a step back. The girl was curled on her side, completely naked. Simon struggled in Jayne's arms, trying to get to her.
"I have to check her vitals!" he cried, desperate.
"Oh, is that what they call it?" asked Mal, walking towards him, disgust clear on his face.
"She's not supposed to wake up for another week. The shock..." Mal interrupted, scathing disgust evident in his voice.
"The shock of what? Waking up, or finding out she's been sold to some border-world baron?" demanded Mal, furious and disgusted. "Oh, I'm sorry, was this one for you? Is it true love?" He turned back to look at the girl in the crate, just as she sat up with a scream. She screamed again, propelling herself over the edge of the crate, onto the floor, where she cowered, crying out, softer now, her fear evident. Simon pulled free of Jayne and ran to her, crouching in front of, her reaching out gently and calling her name, assuring her it was all right.
Mal listened, partially, but most of his attention was captured by his view of the girl's right thigh, where a large tattoo rested. Unlike the unseemly, burnt brand they had found on the girl from the wreck, the Alliance seal had been carefully tattooed onto this girl's skin, it almost looked graceful. Glancing at Zoe, he saw she had seen the same thing.
"What the hell is this?" demanded Mal, his voice cold.
"This is my sister," replied Simon, his pain evident.
~ ~ ~ @@ ~ ~ ~
Mal crouched outside of the door to the passenger cell, listening quietly. He could hear the girl moving around, knew that if he was in the cockpit he would have seen her on the vid, having carefully installed the capture himself, so that he could see how she was doing. He had locked the feed under his own personal code, not wanting Jayne to be able to access it. "Hey, little one," he spoke softly, heard her stop moving, before approaching the door. "How you feeling?" there was a thud against the inside of the door, and the girl began to wail. Mal sighed, not sure what to do.
Simon heard the screaming, and ran, thinking it was River. It was certainly a girl, and she was very, very afraid. He found the captain crouching outside of a door on the crew level, talking softly. He slowed, frowning, and listened. "It's okay, no one here is going to hurt you. Them that did this, they're dead, they ain't coming for you, and them that might think you're dead too. You'll be okay, we'll take care of you, at least until you can take care of yourself, ain't no one gonna hurt you that way again," the cries didn't stop, although they were broken with terrified sobs.
"What's going on?" he demanded, concerned.
"Lost," said a soft voice behind him, and he whirled to face River. "Lost in the dark...don't stop moving, people notice you if you stay too long...two by two, hands of blue..." she screamed softly, then continued, even as Simon wrapped his arms around her, trying to calm her. "All alone...lost in the dark...burning and pain and...arrrrrgh!" she screamed, and collapsed, clinging to her brother. "Cutting...always cutting...want to control what can't be controlled, force to obey what won't obey...SIMON!" Simon pulled a syringe out of his pocket and injected it into River's carotid artery, and she immediately passed out, collapsing against him.
A/N: The bits that have been left out occured the same as the Pilot, I just didn't feel the need to write them all...and the ending comes after they've been to Whitefall and got rid of the fed. Reviews are better than food! love xx Shezzi

Welcome to CISIES Web Site
The Clinical Information System Implementation Evaluation Scale (CISIES)
The Clinical Information System Implementation Evaluation Scale (CISIES) is now two measurement instruments:
[New] The Clinical Information System Implementation Evaluation Scale Pre-measure (CISIES-Pre) and
The Clinical Information System Implementation Evaluation Scale Post-measure (CISIES-Post)
Both CISIES are 37 item measurement instruments to evaluate user satisfaction with the implementation of a clinical information system (CIS), whether a small "departmental" CIS, clinical module of an electronic health record (EHR) or an entire EHR.
The CISIES-Pre can be from 90-30 days pre go-live of the implementation of a CIS.
The CISIES-Post can be administered from 30-90 days post CIS implementation.
The two measures can be used together to allow more power (the ability to detect relationships between variables) with smaller numbers of subjects.
The CISIES can be used for formative purposes, to adjust on-going implementations, or summative purposes, to assist in judging the relative success of an implementation.
The CISIES-Pre can also be used as a readiness for implementation measure.
There is no charge for use of either CISIES instrument. Our intent is to provide all the information you need to administer the CISIES and score and interpret CISIES data on this web site.
Types of clinical information systems that have been evaluated using the CISIES and its precursors are:
Clinical Documentation Systems
Critical Care Clinical Information systems
Anesthesia Information Systems
Perianesthesia Information Systems
Barcode Computer Medication Administration

HOPE MILLS, N.C. – Police are still trying to figure out exactly what caused a deadly accident in Hope Mills on Thursday that left three dead.
The incident happened on Hope Mills Road near Camden Road around 2:30 p.m., where police say both drivers of cars that collided head-on were killed. Hien Truong, 26, and Tristan Hanna, 26, were killed, as was an infant passenger in Truong's SUV.
Police say it appears one of the vehicles crossed the center line, but they're still looking into that. Two other vehicles were involved in the wreck, though there is no word on any other injuries.

Operation Rio Grande
Today I am joined by law enforcement officials who are on the front lines of the fight against crime along the border, including the head of the Border Sheriff's Coalition, Sheriff Sigi Gonzalez of Zapata County, several other sheriffs and sheriffs' deputies involved in Operation Linebacker.
Since December my office has committed $10 million to Operation Linebacker to increase patrol hours and investments in law enforcement equipment. The increased law enforcement presence along the border in recent weeks has confirmed what many law enforcement officials have known for quite some time: that illegal activity along the border is escalating, and that criminal organizations now have operational control along certain segments of the Mexican side of the border.
Well-armed narco-terrorists are becoming increasingly bold. The rash of kidnappings and murders in Laredo and Nuevo Laredo underscore this point, as does the recent chase involving local deputies and DPS in Hudspeth County, where officers were kept at bay by uniformed individuals with military rifles and armed humvees as they retreated with much of their drug cargo back into Mexico.
Also disturbing are reports that two deputies, and a deputy's wife in Hudspeth County, have been threatened to "stay off the river" or their families would be killed.
Like others, I was very alarmed by the recent discovery of a criminal organization's weapons stockpile in Laredo that included IEDs and fragmentation hand grenades. I am also concerned about FBI and DEA testimony that indicates the most significant drug and gang threat is along the U.S.-Mexico border.
There is not only great concern that the drug trade is becoming more aggressive, but that terrorist organizations are seeking to exploit our porous border.
Last year alone, 135,000 OTM's, people from countries other than Mexico, were apprehended entering Texas illegally, more than half the U.S. total. People from nations with known terrorist ties have sought entry through our southern border. Recently Mexico apprehended four Iraqi nationals before they could get to U.S. soil. Because of a lack of detention space, many OTM's are set free into our communities and asked to return for a court date at a later time.
This remains a serious problem, even though the Administration has committed to addressing it. The President's budget is a step in the right direction because it will increase detention space by 6,700 beds, provide funding for new identification technology, and put 1,500 additional border patrol agents on the ground.
But these investments will take time that we frankly do not have.
The threat is real, and it grows each day. That's why today I am launching Operation Rio Grande, a comprehensive approach to border crime that will bring together various state resources and law enforcement organizations to better secure our border from Brownsville to El Paso.
So no one is confused, Operation Rio Grande recognizes that enforcing our sovereign border remains the responsibility of the federal government. That will not change. But the state will not wait for Washington to take all the necessary actions. What we can do, we will. Starting now.
As of this morning I have activated the Governor's Emergency Management Council to deal with the threat along our border with Mexico.
I have placed the Texas Fusion Center on the state's highest alert level, and placed it under the supervision of Texas Homeland Security Director Steve McCraw by merging it with the State Operations Center.
The State Operations Center will serve as a central point of coordination for state, local and federal officials, as well as a single hub for incident reporting and intelligence support for law enforcement agencies up to 100 miles away from the Texas-Mexico border.
At my request, last Friday the Department of Public Safety deployed a rapid response team of state troopers to troubled areas. We will also dispatch DPS narcotics, motor vehicle theft and criminal intelligence investigators to conduct covert patrols and surveillance activities. And we will use DPS fixed and rotary aviation assets to support Operation Linebacker patrols in border counties.
We will deploy specialized state resources, such as Texas Department of Criminal Justice search teams with canine assets, Texas Parks and Wildlife game wardens and Texas Department of Transportation road barrier capabilities. The Texas Army National Guard will commit additional planning, intelligence and command and control resources in a support role of this operation.
I am also concerned about alleged Mexican Military incursions onto sovereign Texas soil. I have asked the Texas Rangers to work with local sheriffs to conduct a border-wide investigation into these alleged activities.
We are also activating the DPS Swat Team and will develop regionalized, enhanced swat teams with rapid response capabilities. And my office will work to ensure every border county is put on the fast-track for electronic fingerprinting booking capabilities so fewer suspects slip through the law enforcement net.
With the firepower found at one Laredo weapons stockpile, I am very concerned about the ability of narco-terrorists to smuggle weapons into Texas, which could be used as part of a terrorist attack. We will work around-the-clock to follow every lead, and chase down every suspect, involved in the illegal smuggling of weapons, contraband and people.
With Operation Rio Grande, the state will take the lead role in coordinating state and local efforts to detect, track and deter criminal activity along the border. We hope federal officials will work closely with us to achieve this mission.
The fact is, while enforcing our borders is the responsibility of federal officials, the consequences of inaction are felt right here at home in Texas.
We have many brave men and women who work in the Border Patrol, Immigration Customs Enforcement, the Drug Enforcement Agency and other federal agencies, but they are under siege every day.
I am taking these actions to make Texas safer and more secure. Using intelligence, available state assets, and a new command and control structure, we are going to make our border more secure. Thank you.

I just realized I update like twice a year lately. Today was pretty fuckin crazy. I owe money for a book Mrs. Cavanagh lost so I'm just taking one from the school like Chrissy did. Then Dave got thrown out of Mrs. Greens room for throwing an m&m, and I followed him to Cooper cuz it was bullshit. Rachel came after a while, too, and Cooper was mad as hell at first, then he lightened up and told us we could skip for 15 demerits and go sit in the library. Dave and I then broke a table trying to fix it, so tomorrow morning ill be fixing the fix...Last day guys, keep it real.

Successful Schools May Help Keep Kids Out of Trouble
Students more likely to avoid drugs, booze, fights in schools that perform well academically, study finds
SATURDAY, April 9 (HealthDay News) -- Students who go to schools that achieve better-than-expected academic results may be less likely to use drugs or alcohol, steal or fight, finds a new study.
University of Florida researchers looked at academic achievement scores at 61 inner-city middle schools in Chicago between 2002 and 2005. Seven schools did better than expected and the rates of drug and alcohol use and delinquency by students at those schools were as much as 25 percent lower compared to other schools.
The study was published in the March issue of the journal Prevention Science.
The schools in the study all had high numbers of students from ethnic minorities and poor homes, factors that are often associated with lower achievement in school, noted lead author Amy Tobler, a research assistant professor of health outcomes and policy at the University of Florida College of Medicine.
"It could be good teaching, better administration, whatever these schools are doing, if we can replicate it, it will lead to not only academic achievement but improvement in healthy behaviors as well," she said in a university news release. "Some schools can break that strong link between sociodemographic disadvantage and drug use and delinquency."
While the study shows that academic achievement at school can benefit disadvantaged students' health and behavior, Tobler warned that proposed funding cuts to educational programs across the United States threaten such success stories.
"Almost all states are cutting budgets to public education," Tobler said. "We are increasingly asking them to do more and more with fewer resources. The extent to which schools can achieve this value-added education or continue it may be severely limited by budget cuts."

With projects such as the "display case" design for the Corning Museum of Glass, New York-based Thomas Phifer and Partners have refined a reputation for working with glass. The firm's modern glass-encased house at the base of the Rocky Mountains in Boulder, Colo. is no exception—blurring the distinction between indoors and outdoors as natural light reigns. The 5,026 square foot Boulder House, built in 2008, is sited on an incline adjacent to open space, with entrances on both the first and upper levels. Goodacre & Company Real Estate is listing the house for sale for $4.25 million.
"We saw how glass has a wonderful quality to reflect nature, and we also saw this irregular shape as something that responded in an abstract way to the natural surroundings," said Thomas Phifer, FAIA, about the house in an article in ARCHITECT's April 2007 issue.
Steps lead from the detached two-car garage, covered with rusted raw steel doors, to the three-story, four-bedroom (currently configured as a 2 bedroom) house, which maximizes natural light with glass curtain walls, 11 foot ceilings, and a 15-foot by 12-foot operable skylight on the open-plan living space on the upper floor. It also includes an art gallery, a pet shower, and a 1,000-bottle wine cellar.
The firm won an ARCHITECT Research and Development Award in 2009 for its LED streetlight (designed with the Office for Visual Interaction and Werner Sobek, Assoc. AIA) for the City of New York.

This is gonna be good
I waited until I got home and had a beer in me before reading it. The headline kinda says it all: Why You Hate Cyclists. I mean – with a title like that how couldn't I expect something, um… inspiring. I'm an opinionated guy, thus I'm always on the lookout for fellow opinionatedees. And this was going to tell me why I hate cyclists. Clearly I don't hate cyclists, so right off of the bat I'm assuming the article is targeted towards motorists. Yea. This is gonna be good… But then I read it. And reread it. And it actually wasn't terrible, nor terrific. In fact, I'm still not sure what I think about it, or its author. According to his bio he's an attorney and a writer. Oh yea – and according to his own article he's a cyclist. And kind of a jerk. (more…)

"Best things come to those who wait". Sure! After waiting for last few months, my chance for hosting Indira's – JFI is here finally! For any foodie the essence of every single ingredient is profound. Its like a beautiful poem where each ingredient come together to form wonderful verses of the complete recipe. And its only a poetic justice that I host this event which celebrates such natural ingredients.
My site Chef In You is about enjoying ingredients in different ways where each region in different parts of the world honor it in their own ways. Take a boat ride through the back waters of God's own country Kerala in India, ride on a camel through the dessert lands of middle east, fly over the liberty statue or surf the waves of Latin beaches. Wherever you go, you will find at least one dish which honors this Queen of Spices – Yes, you guessed right. I am talking about Saffron. Its one of most stylish and regal spice of all. Expensive, Exquisite and Elegant. A little pinch always goes a long way in giving a distinct regal touch to the dish by way of aroma, taste and color.
So let's celebrate this month of December by getting spoiled in the royal warmth of Saffron,shall we? Here's what you got to do
1. Cook and Enjoy a dish that has Saffron as one of the main ingredients.

Announced it yday itself. Great send them over! You know Malts right – they are produced by sprouting the whole grain (barley in this case), creating enzymes etc and then made into a sweetener. Yes its from the whole grain – that's why wondered. –DK
Great choice for JFI especially this time of the year when a little bit of extravagance is totally acceptable. Will try to make something for the event.
Beautiful and royal choice.Surely be sending my entry.
Beautiful choice for JFI.

"Put a Face On It" Winner Shows it's a Small World
November 8, 2013
Back in 2008, we ran an AARC Times article on AARC member Justin Misuraca, RRT-NPS, who had recently written a children's book in part to benefit worthwhile causes at Children's Hospital in Denver where he was (and still is) a transport therapist.
A week or so ago, we ran across Justin again when we picked up a news story about his participation in the New York City Marathon to raise funds for missing kids for an upcoming Good Press column.
So imagine our surprise when Justin's name was picked at random to receive the latest $50 Visa gift card in our Put a Face On It contest! We pulled Justin's name from among everyone in the last couple of weeks who had added a photo and/or updated their profile on AARConnect.
It all goes to show it's a small RT world out there—and today AARConnect is the place where we can all meet and share our experiences.
As a regular user of the site, Justin is definitely on board with that concept. "I love to be able to ask a question about a somewhat unique situation and receive a rapid response," he says. "Transport tends to have a lot of weird situations occur. I like to know what other people are doing."
That kind of quick access to his fellow therapists has paid off for his organization too. "I asked about humidification on transport and received some information that was very helpful," says Justin. "I shared it with our team and we decided on using a much cheaper option than we originally planned."
Our Put a Face On It contest continues through Nov. 30 so read the rules then upload a photo or add some personal touches to your page.
You might just be the next name drawn for a $50 Visa gift card!

Erica Whitaker's short hair and choice of clothing drew people to speculate about her sexuality during high school. She enjoyed her time there, and graduated with a GPA of 3.6. Once she reached college at WMU, her grades dropped from A's to D's.
Whitaker, along with thousands of other Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay and Transgender (LBGT) students face an array of new challenges when they transition from high school to college life. What will my roommate think of my sexuality? Is the campus accepting? Whitaker's challenge was to deal with emotions related to her sexuality that she ignored during her high school years.
"I repressed my feelings during high school, and when I came to college I had to deal with it," Whitaker said.
Her internal struggles lead to deprived academic results and she was close to failing one of her semesters at WMU. Whitaker received guidance and support from LBGT Student Services at WMU, in addition to OUTspoken, the LBGT student organization on campus.
"I've come to accept myself now. The coordinator at the office for LBGT services helped me a lot," Whitaker said.
Today she is the vice president of OUTspoken, and has a GPA of 3.2.
Coordinator for LBGT Student Services, Jennifer Hsu, said the transition from high school is not linear, and many factors affect why a student would change their academic performance once they reach college.
"The students that I have seen find an inviting environment have been less likely to leave Western," Hsu said.
Because the transition from high school to college is known to be tough, especially for LBGT students, the First Year Pride Alliance was created this fall. The program lasts throughout the entire year, comparable to the First Year Experience, but functions as an optional resource for LBGT students.
"The program goes specifically into sexual orientation and gender identity," said Coordinator Amberose Nolan. "It's important to have [this program] because it improves the campus climate, and studies show that it improves conditions for LBGT students."
In a 2011 study by Campus Pride measuring LBGT friendly campuses, WMU placed No. 21, and scored 4.5 out of 5 points on their Campus Climate Index.
University of Michigan (U of M) scored 5 points on the same index: the only university in Michigan to receive that score. U of M opened its LBGT office in 1971, and was the first university in the nation to do so.
"I think the new curriculum and programs we implemented this year will boost our ranking," Nolan said.
Nolan's high school experience involved a lot of hardship.
"A lot of people gossiped about me in high school, and said that I got around a lot because I was bisexual," Nolan said.
The high school Nolan attended had a gay-straight alliance (GSA), but not all high schools in Michigan have that program.
"I went to a high school in a town with 2,000 people," said Christine Babcock, a third-year student at WMU.
Even though Babcock's high school lacked of a GSA presence, she did not experience any discrimination from other students when she came out as a lesbian. To her, school was a "safe haven," because once she was "outed," her parents would not let her socialize outside of school.
"My parents are ministers," Babcock said. "They do not approve because they legitimately believe I will go to hell. It's out of love. It has taken me a long time to realize that."
Babcock adds that there was a lack of information about the LGBT community in her high school.
"One guy that was sitting next to me in class said it was like sitting next to an alien, because he didn't know a lesbian existed in real life," said Babcock.
Greg Lowe, a junior at WMU, came out to his mom the summer before attending WMU.
"She didn't mind, she just told me to vote Republican at every election," said Lowe as he chuckled. "I guess she thinks being liberal is worse than being gay."
OUTspoken President Brendan Shaw said he was worried about how his freshman-year-roommate would react to his sexuality.
"I was nervous to see if he was homophobic. He wasn't, he was a cool guy," said Shaw. "I haven't experienced discrimination directly towards me at WMU, but I get annoyed when professors assume everyone is heterosexual."
The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), is an organization that measure the experiences of LGBT students in the U.S. The most recent study released by GLSEN found that LBGT harassment is declining in the country.
Despite the decrease, 6 out of 10 LBGT students reported that they felt unsafe at school because of their sexual orientation. Coming out in school increased levels of victimization, but also resulted in a healthier mental state. You can access the entire 2011 GLSEN study here.
Common Bond at Sindecuse Health Center is another resource for LBGT students at WMU. The support group is directed at Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning and Allied (LGBTQA) students, and had its debut this spring semester.
"I talk to a lot of students who have been bullied in high school because of something they cannot change, such as their sexual orientation," said Sarah Cook, who coordinates the support group with Brian Fuller.
Anxiety and relationship issues with friends, romances, and family members are the most common among LBGT students according to Cook.
"It's difficult to adjust to college for many of these students," Cook said. "We try to help students know about OUTspoken, and other pro-LBGT activities."

Press Release
For Immediate Release
Feb. 13, 2012
Contact: Matthew Roberts, Director of Communications
Phone: (602) 542-4283
Mobile: (602) 540-3521
Twitter: @therealAZsos
PHOENIX – In an effort to make the candidate
nomination process more efficient and secure for voters and candidates,
the Arizona Secretary of State's office has officially launched
E-Qual, an electronic petition and $5 qualifying contribution system.
The new online application allows candidates to collect up to 50
percent of their required signatures and $5 qualifying contributions.
In 2011, the state legislature established the pilot program enabling
the collection of nominating petition signatures and Clean Elections
qualifying contributions in a secure online environment. After a
voter's identity is authenticated, E-Qual matches the voter with
the candidates for which they are eligible to sign a nominating
petition or make a $5 contribution. Only statewide and legislative
candidates are eligible for E-Qual.
"Candidates and voters will find E-Qual is simple, secure
and convenient," said Secretary Bennett. "Over the past
few years our office has taken steps to modernize many of our election
processes. With technological enhancements made to voter registration,
ballot security and campaign finance, Arizonans have a system of
elections that is consistent with today's technologies.
"Each day, Arizonans shop, pay their mortgage and do their
banking online. Developing a process that allows them to sign a
candidate petition on their computer rather than outside the mall
or grocery store will encourage more people to get involved with
our electoral process. While candidates still must continue the
traditional way of circulating petitions, we anticipate E-Qual will
facilitate participation in a positive and efficient manner."
"E-Qual will save time when processing signature challenges
and while verifying the random sample of $5 contributions as the
voter's information has already been matched against the voter registration
database," said Representative JD Mesnard. "With the addition
of a voter identification number for each signer and contributor
the number of ineligible signatures and contributions will be greatly
"Our agency is dedicated to promoting access to our political
system and E-Qual is a major step forward," said CCEC Executive
Director Todd Lang. "The ability to process half of the qualifying
contributions electronically will help candidates enormously and
we look forward to working with them as they seek elective office."
To allow for public inspection of nominating petitions, completed
electronic petitions will be printed out and included with the standard
circulated petitions and submitted to the Secretary of State's Office
during the filing period.

UTHSC Houston interview advice? - page 2
HI everyone! Just got an interview letter from UTHSC Houston and I'm excited, nervous, grateful, relieved, and terrified all rolled into one. This will be my first grad school interview --ever. Does anybody have any... Read More
- 0Jun 23, '10 by My_brain_hurtsHi. I think you might be wanting info on BSN undergraduate stuff? I don't recall HESI being a part of CRNA application. Also, not sure if you want UTHSC Houston or UTHSC San Antonio info. I went to UTHSCSA for my BSN but that was before they started the HESI stuff. They were just 'trying it out' then, we took while in the program and it had no bearing on our grades. Sorry not much help, but try posting in a different area and I bet you'll get lots of responses. Good luck in nursing school!
- 0Jul 10, '10 by Designer NPQuote from My_brain_hurtsSo....I'm in the process of applying now and Baylor is my first choice because of the DNP program. How do you like it so far? I'm really nervous about the competition..what were your stats and how was your interview?I ended up not getting accepted to UT houston, but I DID get accepted at BAYLOR!!!! who would have thought? I assumed I'd have had a better change at UT. Oh well :spin:
Baylor was really my first choice, but I had kind of talked myself out of it because I figured I really didn't have a chance of getting in there. I mean, I would have been happy at UT and made the best of it because in the end your a CRNA and that's the whole point, not where you graduated from. I know all schools have good/bad/ugly sides, and different students have differing views of the programs they are in. I'm excited because Baylor isn't a nursing school, so no touchy feely stuff. I had enough of that in BSN. Touchy feely is important to a degree, but I want the hard science of anesthesia. I'm excited my time in school will focus on that.
Sooo, when I'm eyeballs deep in studying y'all remind me how happy I am to be in school again. HA! :typing:

SUNDAY, Jan. 5, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Skiing, skating, snowboarding and sledding are great ways to stay active during the winter -- if you take proper safety precautions.
These sports require planning and caution to avoid potentially serious injuries, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
"Common winter sport injuries from skiing and snowboarding include sprains, strains, dislocations and fractures," Dr. A. Herbert Alexander, an orthopedic surgeon in Ketchum, Idaho, said in an academy news release.
More than 310,000 people were treated in hospitals, doctors' offices and emergency rooms in 2012 for winter sports-related injuries, according to the U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission. Of these, more than 40,000 were caused by sledding, nearly 98,000 involved snowboarding, about 120,000 were skiing injuries and 53,000 involved ice skating.
"Often, these injuries occur at the end of the day, as people try to get in one more ski, sled or snowboard run, despite fatigue or discomfort," Alexander noted. "Fortunately, most winter sport injuries can be prevented if participants stay in good physical condition, gradually increase their level of difficulty, stay alert and stop when they are tired or feel pain. Don't forget to wear helmets while skiing, snowboarding, or sledding. Remember to stay well-hydrated and remember to use sunscreen."
Sledders could reduce their risk of injury by sledding in the correct position and not veering out of a sledding path. Skiers and snowboarders should also use the right equipment and follow the rules of those sports.
The academy provided several more winter sports safety tips, including the following:

The recent 'Wake Up To Rape' report by Havens rape centres in London found 'that more than half of women believe victims share the blame for what happens'. This provides an alarming example of the self-serving attributional phenomenon – attribution of responsibility (Weiner, 1995). In short, some social psychologists believe that people hold on to the notion of a 'just world' (Lerner, 1977). That is, good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. In this view of the world, sits the 'illusion of control' (Langer, 1975). In other words, people believe they and others are in control of their own lives and destinies. What happens to them therefore, is to a large extent their own doing. Unfortunately, this belief also extends to victims of crimes in which people frequently hold them accountable for their own misfortunes. Miller and Porter (1983) also suggest that victims draw on the notion of the 'just world' to account for their victimization. Havens rape centres report provides some evidence of a 'gendered' self-blame. Of those women questioned, over 50% suggested the victim should 'share the blame'. The reasons women cited for this were, 'wearing provocative clothes' and 'engaging in conversation in a bar or accepting a drink'. Ironically, by victims attributing some responsibility on themselves, they reinstate the 'illusion of control' (Hogg and Vaughan, 2005).

Twitter's share price has fallen by nearly a quarter after the micro-blogging site reported slower growth in user numbers.
The shares had fallen 24 percent to $50.01 as trading neared its end in New York on Thursday.
The US company also reported a $511m quarterly loss, signalling fears that the short online messaging service was losing popularity.
Twitter had reported stronger-than-expected revenue and adjusted earnings in its fourth-quarter financial report on Wednesday, its first as a publicly traded company.
The site had 241 million users at the end of 2013, adding just nine million new monthly users since it went public in November, suggesting only modest growth at a time when investors were looking for a surge.
It was adding an average of 16 million new accounts in each of the first three quarters of the year.
Stifel analyst Jordan Rohan downgraded Twitter, noting that "user growth metrics faltered" and adding that "the company did a poor job explaining how and why the lower user growth was a temporary phenomenon," the AFP news agency reported.
San Francisco-based Twitter's shares have soared since its November initial public offering, causing many analysts to call it too expensive.
Dick Costolo, the company's chief executive, sought to reassure analysts and investors during Wednesday's conference call, saying that changes Twitter made to the short messaging service during the fourth quarter are starting to pay off.
Sterne Agee, an analyst Arvind Bhatia, said the company's share price was expensive compared to similar companies. He set a target price of $43 for Twitter's stock, which is still more expensive than Facebook and LinkedIn, based on expected revenue for the companies, the analyst wrote in a note to investors.
