Internet facing JSF Deployments In the Real World
People still sometimes question the pervasiveness of JavaServer Faces Technology. That's a good thing because it indicates the IT decison makers of the world are thinking for themselves and not merely following some kind of herd mentality. This page helps assuage the concerns of those people.
It turns out that there are hundreds of public sites on the web obviously using JSF technology. We don't know how many non-obvious JSF sites are out there, nor how many intranet sites are using JSF. For example, reports from Sun's client solutions department indicate that major banks in the German Banking industry are using JSF for customer facing deployments, but due to the secretive nature of IT in the financial world, we cannot name names.
Several companies have agreed to be referencable JSF users, and their stories are documented at <http://jsfcentral.com/trenches/ >.
Also, keep in mind that any customer of the NetBeans JSF module, Oracle JDeveloper, Eclipse JSF module, IntelliJ IDEA JSF module or any of the products and tools listed at the JSF Central Product Listing are also using JSF.
This is a Wiki page. Please help us flesh out this page with public sites known to be using JSF. We don't care if it's MyFaces or Oracle's Mojarra implementation, what matters is they are using JSF.
The following sites were found with a request to <http://www.google.com/search?q=allinurl%3A+faces%2Findex.jsp> and <http://www.google.com/search?q=allinurl%3A+index.jsf> or were discovered in the wild by happenstance or intention.
There is also a manually created google map representation of this list. On it, you can see that JSF is being used in every continent, including Antartica.

Made me laugh even after tonight's tough loss:
Made me laugh even after tonight's tough loss:
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
That's great. Reds players in wigs is always funny.
Seeing Bronson reminds me of his joke "How about a double?" commercial.
"I prefer books and movies where the conflict isn't of the extreme cannibal apocalypse variety I guess." Redsfaithful
Makes all the routine posts.
I didn't know Napoleon Dynamite played for the Reds! Awesome!

Mike Myers Welcomes First Child
It's a boy for Mike Myers! Myers' rep confirmed to Us Weekly the earlier report by Life & Style that the funnyman and his wife, Kelly Tisdale, are the proud parents of a bundle of joy whom they've christened with a tough-guy name.
"The baby is named Spike and was born two weeks ago!" an insider tells the mag.
No word on whether the "Austin Powers" star greeted his Mini-Me tot in true Dr. Evil fashion by immediately telling him, "Zip it!"
Myers, 48, began dating the 30 something Tisdale in 2006, not long after his 12-year marriage to Robin Ruzan came to an end. The couple quietly tied the knot last fall.
In May, they announced they were "overjoyed" by the impending stork visit.
It remains unclear what inspired little Spike Myers' moniker (his dad is pals with director Spike Jonze), but he's now the newest member of Hollywood's creatively named baby club. From Apple to Zuma, click on for some highlights ...

In support of the outstanding talent and performances by University sailors in Match racing, University Match Racing Sydney want to provide them with a platform and help stage a quality match-racing regatta that would encourage more professionalism and growth in Australian and University sailing.
David Gilmour in action during the finals at the Asian Match Racing Championships 2010. Kuala Terengannu,Malaysia. 28 October 2010
We are looking forward to hosting the best Australian university teams at our championships.
The Organising Authority for the 2011 RPAYC University Match Racing Championship will be the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club under the auspices of Yachting Australia. This is also an International Sailing Federation (ISAF) grade 3 event. 8 top university teams (40 sailors) will fight it out against each other on the Force 24 class of yachts.
Our event organiser and host, Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club is one of Australia's oldest and most prestigious yacht clubs. The Club is situated on Green Point on the pristine body of water called Pittwater, on Sydney's Northern Beaches. In the sport of sailing it is regarded as one of the leading and premier Yacht Clubs in Australia.
Nautilus Marine Boat Insurance has come in as one of our main sponsors for the championship. Nautilus has also been involved with supporting sailing regattas all over Australia like Sydney's favorite Olympic class regatta, Sail Sydney. Their sponsorship will assist us in delivering a very memorable championship. For more information about Nautilus Marine Boat Insurance go to their website
In addition, Harken Australia, a leading global manufacturer and marketer of quality sailboat hardware and accessories, have kindly offered their support to the championship. For more information about Harken go to their website
As always, we welcome additional sponsorship from companies keen on being a part of this new and exciting event involving young and promising athletes who possess a positive attitude and a strong desire to win.
We believe this event has the potential to help inspire and create future champions at regattas like the America's Cup and World Match racing tour. We also believe it serves to promote the sport to universities in Sydney.

43 year old woman | Twinsburg, OH, USA | Seeking men 37-49 within 50 miles
Just me.
I know of you. My mind has vast ideas and longing of who you are, what composes you, your traits and qualities, yet I do not know who you are. I do know, that you are out in that world somewhere right now. Perhaps you are working at a job that you enjoy, but are not passionate about. Your days, they have mirrored each other for as long as you can remember. The mundane setting of life is scheduled, routine, and comforting in a grave way. I know that you are a man that cherishes a woman. You have had opportunities to love, thought you had that love only to discover that it did not love you back the way it should have. It found favor with another, leaving you shattered and broken. I do know that as much as you hurt, you picked yourself up and healed with time. The small scar of the past still stretches across your soul. Yes, it has faded with time but there are places and things that remind you of the hurt, making you involuntarily feel the pain of the past. I know you. You desire to be with a woman that will love you fiercely, speak her opinion to you gently and respect you for the man God created you to be. You have yet to find me. When you do, you will know. You may not know instantly for that scar pain will flare when you think of what could be. I will take delight in walking up behind you, placing small soft kisses on your neck that tell you that I desire you for your body and mind. I accept you willingly, flaws and all and love you for the man that you were, the man that you are, and the man that you are to become. I watch you intently, with a small lustful gaze at the end of a difficult day. I am content to lay in your arms, stroking your arm as it rests across me. I feel protected with you when I lay my head on your chest and feel you breath in the subtle feminine scent of my hair. You know me. You know of the woman that will comfort you in time of trouble, laugh with you at an inside joke, and love you with eyes that are deeper than the most clear sea. You are already in love with the idea of me, which drives you mad on nights where the wind howls just as your heart howls for companionship you know is somewhere searching for you as well. I am around you. I am the air you breath, the pillow you rest your head upon at night, the stars in a clear dark sky to which you look up at, I am....all around you. Look for me....feel me whisper your name in the cool wind of winter for I am there....haunting you, pushing you to find me so we may be as one soul, one spirit, one body, and one mind. I am waiting for you...find me.

I exercise 1-2 times per week.

My favorite thing to do is write Science Fiction/ Fiction short stories. My favorite color is Lavendar and I love painting abstract art. (Pictured in my photos) I also perform community theater on a regular basis.
My favorite movie is 'Like Water for Chocolate'. I'm a sucker for a nice cup of coffee on a cool Fall day and enjoy music such as Il Divo, James Taylor, Dan Fogelburg, Deana Carter, and Colbie Caillat. I love visiting the Cleveland Zoo.

What are/is your suggestion(s)/input & advice?
AS you can see from my siggy my SNS is on the way and I'm going to try to wean completely from formula for supplemental [I just don't pump enough to fully satisfy him as a supplemental feeding].
Anyway, in the mean time, my little guy [8weeks] is proving to be quite the spitter-upper as well.
I mean TONS....I go through 5 or more chinese prefolds a day as burp cloths!! As of now he is gaining weight though so I know he's still retaining a good amount of food..
But I can really tell that it actually hurts him and is probably borderline reflux [I think he's mildly colicky too...has terribly painful gas about once a day at 7pm for about an hour].
Anyway, do you think the gripe water and/or colic calm may help some?
Also I honestly believe the spit up is mainly from that darn Nestle Good Start formula that WIC provides.
Should I buy a different kind on my own [like a can or something] and see if it helps to reduce the amount and then talk to my pediatrician about "writing a prescription" for WIC to give me a different kind? This is what I've heard has to happen...
Anyway, what are your thoughts, experiences, advice, input?? Thanks mamas!
Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side!
Registered Users
Re: What are/is your suggestion(s)/input & advice?
I dont know your story about why he is on formula, etc . . . But babies pit up and it is totally normal. If he is unhappy while spitting up, then he probably has reflux and should be seen by a pediatric GI doctor. The fact that he is gaining weight is great. I have had 4 kids with reflux and it is very very unpleasant.

As we prepare for Jim Boeheim's fourth Final Four, it's hard to believe where he ranks in compensation compared to peers. USA Today ran a list of all the coaches in this year's NCAA tourney and their income. Where do you think The Per'fesser ranked? Top 5? Nope. Top 10? Uh uh. Top 15. Sorry. Follow The Fizz on Twitter for the latest from Atlanta as D.A. covers the Final Four Boeheim came in at 17th overall while pulling in $1.9 M per year from Syracuse. No one is shaking a can in front of the Salvation Army for JB, but to see some of his inferiors rank ahead of him is a joke. Understandably, Coach K is the top dawg earning over $7 M a year. But let's go down the rest of the coaches in front of Jim: Coach K. No one can argue he's the class of coaches with those titles and Final Fours (even if he has some head scratching early exits). Pitino. Fine. He's always got a contender, never loses in the Sweet 16. Could be looking at another title this year. Self. Again, can't argue. Has m...

The communication between a baseball coach and a player on the base paths can be hard to follow at times. A swipe of the shoulder. A pat on the head. Quick touch to the nose. It's subtle and used to keep an opponent off guard with hit and runs, bunts, and steals.
But in the the bottom of the seventh inning of the Valley City Babe Ruth baseball team's 10-9 win in the first game of a double header with Fargo Monday at Charlie Brown Memorial Field, VC third baseman Collin Schroeder got things mixed up on the base paths.
Being a professional bull rider is somewhat of a dream for 20-year-old Clayton Enzminger.
Nearly every weekend, the Steele resident hits the road with friend and travel partner Cole Hermanson to ride in rodeos, including some on the Professional Bull Riding circuit, all across the nation.
The only problem is that the events tend to be far from home.
"There are opportunities that come close, but going to PBRs and pro rodeos, you've got to travel a lot," said Enzminger, who rides as a pro but has yet to ride in a PBR event.
The Valley Twisters Gymnastics Club announced in a release Friday that it has hired Suzanne Fischer as its new head coach/club director.
Fischer is a 20-year coaching veteran who will be moving to Valley City from Branch Gymnastics in Kalamazoo, Mich., where she was the head coach/program director.
"The Valley Twisters board is very excited that Suzanne is joining our club," said Amber Olson, a Valley Twisters board member. "We feel that Suzanne will be a huge asset to our gym with her experience and passion for the sport. We are very excited for her and her family to join our community."
VC Post 60 Baseball Sweeps Fairmount/Hankinson
The Valley City Post 60 American Legion baseball team saved its best for the later innings in a double header sweep of Fairmount/Hankinson on the road Thursday.
Post 60 won 11-9 in the first game, then won 13-4 in the second game.
In the first game, Post 60 was down 8-3 entering the top of seventh, but scored six runs in the seventh to go up 9-8.
The inning included doubles by Josh Magnuson and Chase Carpenter, whose hit had two runs batted in and scored the final run of the inning.
By Scott Schlaufman
There are times in baseball where an error plays little role in the outcome of a game.
But for the Valley City Babe Ruth team, that wasn't the case in a 5-4 loss in the first game of a double header sweep to LaMoure Thursday at Charlie Brown Memorial Field. Valley City also lost 3-1 in a three inning second game.
Post 60 gets swept
The Valley City Post 60 American Legion baseball struggled offensively Monday and was swept by Kindred.
The team was only able to put together four total hits in the two games despite strong efforts from pitchers Chase Carpenter and Brett Stearns.
Valley City lost the first game 3-0. Kindred scored one run in the second, fourth and fifth innings.
Carpenter threw all six innings with only four hits allowed and eight strikeouts. He also went 1-2 at the plate. Anthony Olstad had Post 60's only other hit.
Valley City Babe Ruth player Jacob Miller showed plenty of tenacity in Monday's double header split with Oakes.
As his team played the first game, a 4-2 loss, he donned the catcher's gear and took his spot behind the plate for all seven innings in 90 degree weather.
He followed it by switching battery positions for game two, where he pitched all four innings and scored two runs in a 5-1 win.
In both instances, coach Lance Lukes was pleased as the team readies for the District 6 tournament later this month in Steele.
RedHawks beat T-Bones 3-1
FARGO — Fargo/Moorhead RedHawks starter Tyler Herron struck out eight batters and gave up only one earned run in over seven innings a the 3-1 victory over the Kansas City T-Bones Sunday at Newman Outdoor Field.
There isn't much that can change a baseball game's momentum more than a big home run.
But after allowing a two-run game-tying dinger to deep centerfield in the third inning of the team's second game with Lidgerwood Friday at Charlie Brown Memorial Field, Valley City Post 60 pitcher Austen Meyer was determined to keep his chin up.
"You've just got to come back and get the next guy," Meyer said.
Instead, he and the rest of his team responded in the best way possible.
The Valley City Babe Ruth baseball team offense was a bit more sluggish in its first game Monday than coach Lance Lukes would have liked it to be, but later recovered for the second game of a double header with Lisbon.
But in Tuesday's 20-2 district win in Edgeley, there were no early jitters.
The team put together at least three runs in each inning, ending the game after five, and had 15 total hits.
"It's always tough coming from a game like Monday," Lukes said. "There can be times where players get set in looking for the walks and stop being aggressive at the plate."

Play Video Poker Online
Here at Casinotoplists.com you'll find everything you need to know about playing video poker online, with strategy guides, rules, tips, and more. We also personally review and rate all of the top gambling sites on the Web to help you find the best video poker games and offers for players.
It's important to select the right casino and game when you sit down to play.
While video poker machines may all look the same on the surface the payout tables and player incentives available to you can be very different. To help you out when choosing where to play, we have put together a toplist of the best places to play video poker on the Internet and links to a comprehensive review of every site.
It can be intimidating getting started with video poker, but we make the process a piece of cake with resources such as our video poker toplist (above). Our experienced staff has tested and reviewed every major online gaming site on the Web and compiled a list of the top destinations for video poker fans.
Not all sites offer the same games (and not all online video poker machines use the same paytables) so it's always a good idea to take some time before finding your Internet casino home for all your video poker play.
One casino might offer a great Jacks or Better game while another has more generous payouts for Deuces Wild, so don't just assume all the games are the same.
The rules of video poker are fairly straightforward, and most machines will actually prompt you as to what the best move should be when deciding what cards to hold or discard. While video poker uses the same basic hand rankings as poker to determine what you'll be paid, you're always competing against the machine and not a human player.
Deuces Wild, Jacks or Better, and Joker Wild are some of the most popular versions of video poker you'll find, and you can play 1 line, 50 line, or even 100 line variations that let you play many hands at the same time.
Video poker is one of the best choices for players as with the right strategy the house advantage is very low, plus you can choose from various games that suit your style and bankroll.
Playing our free video poker machine is one of the easiest way to learn the game; our Jacks or Better training game lets you learn the ropes while playing one of the most popular and most common versions of video poker you'll find online.
Once you've got the hang of it the next step for many players is to take advantage of a no deposit bonus that lets you play video poker and other casino games for real money but at absolutely zero risk to you, as you get real chips to play with but don't have to deposit a single penny of your own money.
Video poker provides a unique opportunity in the casino gaming world. Because the house edge is very low under the right circumstances, video poker fans can actually beat the house advantage if they play with the right video poker bonus and comps.
Gamblers of all types gravitate towards video poker both online and offline.
For the recreational player, video poker machines offer the chance for a huge jackpot payout. If you hit a royal flush at video poker playing max coins, the payout is often quite big. And if you play on a progressive video poker machine, the payout might be astronomical.
Furthermore, the savvy player can cash in on bonuses and loyalty points when playing video poker. This can actually result in him playing the game with positive expected value.
It's not an accident that many of the most experienced casino gamblers always walk passed the slot machines and go directly to video poker.
As mentioned, the video poker casinos listed to the right are the best destinations on the Internet right now. If you're new to the game, you might want to try out our free flash version first.
But on the other hand, since the game is so easy to learn, you can try a couple of spins in the casino's play-money mode and you'll be ready to play right away.
Before you start playing, just make sure that you:
Know the rules and payouts of the chosen video poker variation
Sign up at the casinos via one of our exclusive bonus deals by clicking on the "Get Bonus" links in our Video Poker toplist.

Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 7/16/13
I am amazed that so many MVP conversations focus on players who are surrounded by many other talented players. That seems to go against the most simple definition of the concept. Quite often, the winner is the player who put up the most gaudy numbers, such as Brady in 2007. Take away one of those very, potent weapons and then see what he would have done.Well, that is the point of this article; Adrian Peterson nearly broke the single-season rushing record on a team without a strong passing attack. Calvin Johnson was in the mix with his team-carrying and record-breaking performance on a Lion team that had little else going for it.This is why my early vote goes to Tom Brady of the New England Patriots. And these are the reasons why:1. Just like in 2006, when Brady had no recognizable receivers at his disposal, he will lead this corps of misfits like the transcendant master that he is. Brady may not even have a single receiver on opening day that caught a pass from him in 2012. That man...

Fast Facts About Estonia
- Population: 1,266,375
- Capital City: Tallinn
- Climate: Maritime, wet, moderate winters, cool summers
- Time Zone: GMT +2
- Language: Estonian, Russian
- Country Code: 372
- Location: Eastern Europe, bordering the Baltic Sea, between Latvia and Russia
Estonia Could Be Your Digital Offshore Haven
In October 2014, the tiny Baltic country of Estonia invited people worldwide to register as "e-residents," opening its digital borders and moving toward a world in which a person's identity online matters just as much as their identity offline. The eastern European country invited anyone, anywhere, to open a bank account or start a business there. This means that now, anyone with an Internet connection can live their financial life based in Estonia, without being physically present—which is great for business and investment.
Live in a Heritage City Behind the Old Iron Curtain
For decades the Iron Curtain divided Europe in two. Folks in the U.S. and Western Europe were afforded only glimpses of life in the Eastern Bloc. The political situation severely restricted travel. And half of Europe became an uncharted and unknown land. Then the Berlin Wall fell and a dozen or so nations opened up, embracing new freedoms. Visitors were welcomed and discovered a history going back thousands of years, regions of untouched natural beauty, and a seriously low cost of living.
Borders Down
The Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia have now joined the Schengen border-free zone. Border posts and checks will be lifted in these countries on Dec. 21 except at airports—these will be lifted as of March 2008. This will make trade between these countries and the rest of the EU smoother. Foreign visitors can travel freely to all Schengen states on a single visa, and this expansion of the Schengen treaty members is expected to boost the tourism sector.
Medieval magic meets mud treatments, casinos, and WiFi in the Land of the Singing Revolution
US$1 equals 12.95 Estonian kroon Drab Eastern Europe? Think again. Estonia refutes any notion that a former Soviet Socialist Republic must be ineffably dreary. I'm in Parnu, on Estonia's southwest coast, and its wooden villas are delightful. Ticking off the pastel colors–powder blue, old gold, blush pink, sage green–you feel like you've stumbled into a […]
Tallinn (Estonia) vs. Riga (Latvia) vs. Vilnius (Lithuania)
Having explored Lithuania this May, I've now experienced all three Baltic countries, so it's easier to get a handle on what unites them-and what separates them.


text: Health Information for Small Businesses and Their Employees Dissemination Strategies This Web portal has been established to help businesses quickly access information that may be of interest to them and their employees. Dissemination Strategies Opening the Door to Better Health: The Effective Health Care Program, sponsored by the Federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), provides free, plain-language consumer summaries to help patients and their families make the best possible decisions with their health care providers when considering treatment options for various health conditions. By spreading the word about this unbiased, evidence-based information, you can help your employees talk with their doctors and compare various treatments' benefits, risks, and side effects. The ultimate goal is one that we can all embrace — to give employees the right tools to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and safety of their health care. The following strategies offer potential tactics for distributing these valuable publications. These options were developed in consultation with the experts — employers, wellness companies, benefits consultants, and health plan representatives. Please consider which of these strategies would work best for your company as you encourage your employees to access reliable information and take an active role in their health care. Strategies for Disseminating Objective, Evidence-based Health Information to Employees (Select items below for details). Highlight availability of unbiased health information Promote the Effective Health Care Program on your Web site. Maintain supplies of printed Consumer Research Summaries. (For free guides, contact AHRQ, 1-800-358-9295 or email@example.com, and mention order code AHRQ 9-9). Consider an initial announcement about the availability of this material on the home page of your Intranet, using the same approach you use to announce other information you want to call to your employees' attention. You might preface the link with a few sentences about the availability of unbiased information that will help them make decisions about treatment options for a variety of health care conditions, including heart disease, cancer and diabetes. SAMPLE TEXT: We are pleased to provide you with easy access to information that will help you learn more about the treatment options available for several health care conditions, including heart disease, cancer and diabetes. The Internet link below also will lead you to guidance on how to ask your doctor questions and to work together to make the best treatment decisions based on your own values, preferences and quality of life goals. (INSERT LINK HERE). If you are planning to announce AHRQ's new landing page for employers and employees, you could include the message about the consumer guides within that announcement. SAMPLE TEXT: We are pleased to tell you about free information available to help you understand a health care condition you or a loved one may have. These Consumer Research Summaries are based on the latest and best research about treatments and other approaches to a sickness or condition. They provide plain-language explanations of the research to help you discuss your treatment options with your doctor, or other members of your health care team. There are several summaries available that focus on a number of health care conditions, such as diabetes, depression and rotator cuff injuries. This list continues to grow, with more topics covered by new summaries. (INSERT LINK HERE). When promoting the consumer summaries, make clear that AHRQ's growing inventory of consumer summaries includes treatment comparisons for numerous health conditions -- from diabetes to rotator cuff injuries, with new summaries on additional conditions continually being developed. Promote consumer summaries at events Provide sample consumer summaries at open enrollment, health fairs, and other events. Encourage health plans to provide the publications to health plan enrollees (and make companion clinician summaries available for medical staffs). Order sample brochures from AHRQ (see above) to display during health-care related events at your organization. Summaries can also be printed from AHRQ' website. SAMPLE TEXT: For more information about publications and how to order the Consumer Research Summaries, go to http://www.ahrq.gov/news/pubsix.htm#clear. Consider setting up a computer at a display table, set to AHRQ's EHC site so employees can review and scroll through the information. Once your computer is set up, copy/paste this link into your browser to display the EHC consumer summaries (http://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/index.cfm/research-summaries-for-consumers-clinicians-and-policymakers/). Increase the impact of the summaries by making them part of your communication strategy with employees. For example, one strategy is called PREPARE (Plan, Report, Exchange Information, Participate, Agree, Repeat). In one approach to this method, the summaries would be the focus of the Exchange Information step, and other steps in the strategy would be used to increase employee use of the publications. Enhance decision support activities Encourage RNs or other health coaches who staff decision support lines to use AHRQ's evidence-based consumer summaries when discussing treatment options. Arrange a meeting with decision support line staff to review AHRQ's EHC materials. Set up a computer and projector to first introduce the staff to the AHRQ web site; Navigate through the various tools and products that are available for consumers and clinicians. Engage your staff in a discussion about how these tools can be used to assist employees when they need more information about their health care treatment options. Be sure that the staff's ideas are acted upon -- making the link and other materials available to them after the discussion meeting. Add AHRQ's EHC link to the home screen of information used by these staff members to facilitate their easy access to the material while on a call with an employee. The home page of AHRQ's Effective Health Care program will allow these health coaches to access both information for the clinician and the patient. http://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/. Request that these staff members make employees aware of the consumer summaries when one exists for the employee's condition. Be certain that they have a current list of the consumer summaries for easy scanning when talking with an employee. The most current listing is available on http://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/index.cfm/research-summaries-for-consumers-clinicians-and-policymakers/. The summaries are listed on the left side of the table under general headings (e.g., breathing conditions, cancer). The relevant summary can then be opened from this web site. It can be printed and given to the employee, or the summary's link can be emailed to the employee. Engage vendors to promote consumer publications Request that vendors (care coordination, disease management, third party administrators, and health plans) promote the consumer publications through their communications channels, particularly within the care-delivery process (e.g., for prior authorization, disease management, etc.). Arrange a meeting with vendors' staff to review AHRQ's EHC materials. Set up a computer and projector to first introduce the vendors' staff to the AHRQ web site; navigate through the various tools and products that are available for consumers and clinicians. Engage the vendors' staff in a discussion about how these tools can be used to assist employees when they need more information about their health care treatment options. Be sure that the vendors' staff's ideas are acted upon -- making the link and other materials available to them after the discussion meeting. Suggest that these vendors add AHRQ's EHC link to the home screen of information used by their staff to facilitate easy access to the material while on a call with an employee. Request that these staff make employees aware of the consumer guides when one exists for the employee's condition. Be certain that these staff have a current list of the consumer summaries for easy scanning when talking with an employee. The most current listing is available on http://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/index.cfm/research-summaries-for-consumers-clinicians-and-policymakers/. The publications are listed on the left side of the table under general headings (e.g., breathing conditions, cancer). The relevant summary can then be opened from this web site. It can be printed and given to the employee, or its link can be emailed to the employee. Initiate community collaboration Sponsor workplace and/or community seminars to educate employees and other citizens about the benefits of evidence-based health information and the availability of the Effective Health Care Program materials. Collaborate with hospitals and other organizations in your community to increase awareness. Sponsor an open house at your organization where staff from hospitals and community health care organizations can learn more about the EHC consumer and clinician publications. Set up a computer linked to the AHRQ's web page for EHC ( http://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/). Set up another computer to run one of AHRQ's consumer-focused health care videos. For example, one video featuring AHRQ Director Carolyn M. Clancy, MD, explains what people can do to make sure they get the most of an appointment with the doctor (for a list of the videos, go to http://www.ahrq.gov/news/av.htm). Order hard copies of AHRQ summaries and other tools in advance to display for visitors to review. Promote the idea of employees taking the publications to medical appointments to help them ask questions and understand their treatment options, even if a treatment decision has already been made. Order hard copies of AHRQ publications for conditions you believe may be common to your employees. Make these available through your human relations department, in your health clinic, and in employee lounge areas. Consider posters in lounge areas and employee cafeterias that also promote employee use of AHRQ tools that will enhance employee participation in their health care. Share information Share your dissemination plans with community clinics and other providers. Suggest making consumer and clinician summaries available in physician offices. Think creatively about your use of the summaries with employees. They can be both a comprehension tool to check an individual's understanding of their health care and a communication tool that employees can use to explain their health care to their families. They can help to prepare your employees before appointments, to help them think about questions they want to ask and write them down, or they may underline the sections in the publication that they want to ask about. Emphasize that AHRQ's consumer summaries have broad relevance not only to employees, but to their families and friends. Many publications address health conditions common among aging parents. Promote the idea that employees can use and share the information with family members to assist with their own health care decisions. Encourage employee engagement Think creatively about dissemination. Would employees respond to a promotional flyer? Would employee testimonials about the guides fit in the company newsletter? Would a link to the guides fit on the company Web site?. Suggestions: Post widgets, buttons and banners to your web site to help your employees find the latest patient-centered material about their condition and other resources from AHRQ (go to http://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/index.cfm/personalization-and-social-media-tools/ehc-program-buttons/ and http://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/index.cfm/personalization-and-social-media-tools/ehc-program-widgets/). Increase the use of the summaries by encouraging action when they are provided to patients (such as saying, "please read this and mark any areas you do not fully understand" as opposed to making more passive recommendations ("read this"). Increase the likelihood that your employees will use the information by asking them if they will read it (as opposed to asking them to read it). People who state an expectation to do something are more likely to do it. The potential of these consumer guides to improve health care decisionmaking is significant, and we deeply appreciate your help in expanding the effort to get consumers more involved in their care. We would like to learn more from you about helping employers improve health care quality for employees. If you would like to share your experiences, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dancers strut their stuff for Cumbria's Xmas shoppers
Published at 11:24, Monday, 17 December 2012
Shoppers could only stare in wonder as a 60-strong band of "flashmob" dancers strutted their stuff in the street.
The group of friends – most from Maryport – came together to raise money for three good causes.
Their ages ranged from four to 68 as they delighted crowds in Workington, Cockermouth, and Carlisle with their brief routine.
Among those taking part was expectant mum Nicola Ewen, 29, who is due to give birth in 12 days. She joined in with her five-year-old daughter Brooke. She said: "I've been hoping that dancing might bring on the birth! I've really enjoyed it and everybody here are really good mates."
The group have been practising for their moves for the last three months at Maryport Social Club.
The routine – so-called "flashmob" events which involve sudden mass co-ordinated dance routines in public places – raised money for Eden Valley Hospice, The Asante Sana children's charity, and for nine-year-old Maryport boy Aaron Jarvis, who has cerebral palsy.
Organiser Rachel Featherstone, 37, wanted to raise money for Eden Valley Hospital after it helped her mother Margo four years ago.
Rachael said: "My mum suffered pain constantly and Whitehaven Hospital weren't able to help her with that. But the hospice could and we were able to get her settled and home for her last week. It made a huge difference."
Another of those taking part was Claire Wilson, 34, who said: "We've been able to raise money for charity while having a right good laugh. It's particularly nice to do something like this in the run-up to Christmas."
In Scotch Street, Carlisle, on Saturday, onlooker Christine Tweddle, 56, was one of the many who enjoyed the show. "I think it's great," she said. "It's right for Christmas."
Nearly all of the dancers were female but a few brave men – and one boy – also took part. Ten-year-old Jack Denwood said: "I was a bit nervous at first but when you start dancing with all your friends you feel more confident."
The youngest dancer was four-year-old Sandra Holecovea, there with her sisters Emma, six, and Terezia, nine, and their mum Barbara. The oldest was Raymond Wilson, 68.

Customer Reviews of Sleek Folio Case for iPad Air 5th Gen 2013 + Sleep/Wake
My wife loved it.5/20/2014
I bought this for my wife's Ipad Air and she loves it.. She has thanked me so many times, so I thank Minisuit for this product.
Very good5/12/2014
Could not get another one for this price. Very good deal
Works great. Looks good.4/21/2014
Looks great. Similar to products that cost 5 times more.
Good and Bad4/18/2014
The good: it fits like a glove and it covers front and back. The bad: adds too much weight and the front flap is not secured when open. (I have a similar cover for my iPad 2 that had a magnet on the back portion to hold the front open). I'll keep looking.
Very nice iPad cover4/14/2014
Looks and feels like Apple genuine product.
Fits iPad Air perfectly!4/14/2014
This cover 'snaps on' for a secure grip. It's thin, yet seems protective. The instant on (upon opening the cover) seems quicker than my previous, thicker, leather cover. Overall thinness makes traveling with the Air much less cumbersome!
Nice looking case4/11/2014
I just got this item and I really like it. Its a perfect fit for ipad air and Sleep/Wake function seems to work really well. The stand function seems sturdy enough to hold the ipad without issues in landscape position. I had bought a different brand case before and that was very flimsy in stand position so had to return it. It seems to be durable and not cheaply made. For the price, it seems like a good buy. Quality seems above average with some room for improvement. For instance the inside of the case where the ipad's back rests had some dust specs and I was worried that it would scratch my brand new ipad. I tried to wipe it off but the surface seems sort of sticky. Oh well, I have told myself to put the ipad in the case and won't look back. I guess if you could put some kind of plastic film on the back of the ipad first before putting in the case, it won't be scratched. Really depends on how far you want to go but the case is nice regardless.
Excellent product3/25/2014
This is an excellent product. I like it.

Surround gaming is nice but how often do you look at the left and right monitors when gaming ? When i tried my friends surround setup with Dirt 3 and Logitech wheel and pedals etc etc I found my focus still only to be on the middle monitor....Is it a gimmick ?...Is it for the benefit of spectators for more of a wow factor ?...I have never tried surround gaming in 3D but i can't imagine it being much different with the focus being only on the middle screen.
I do hope some developers can release a game that will actualy make use of the system you have there shadow....
You are correct that you mainly focus on the center monitor, but having the other two in your peripheral vision make the game seem more immersive. (likely because it fills more of your field of vision with the game)
With 3d it's pretty much the same, although 3d in general adds more immersion as the scene gets depth. You look into the picture instead of
the picture.
I have been doing some gaming on my 30" 25X16 monitor lately, and playing Crysis2 on my 57 X 10 set as well (23.6" X 3)The surround is just more immersive, definitely not a "gimmick".
BTW- I've played on 6 panel EyeFinity as well, and feel sorry for anyone who got duped into that. The action is on the two middle monitors and you really notice the bezels. When they're in you're peripheral vision you tend to forget they are there because you're not looking directly at the. The way the playing field is divided with 6 panel, you're forced to look at the bezels.

US retail sales rise in April on cars, clothingBy MARTIN CRUTSINGER
The Associated Press | May 14,2013AP PHOTO
Baltimores Harbor East shopping district is reflected in a retail stores window display. Americans increased their spending in April at retail businesses, buying more cars and clothes after cutting purchases sharply in March. The rebound suggests consumers may help boost growth again in the April-June quarter.WASHINGTON Lower-priced gas allowed Americans to step up their spending at retailers in April, from cars and clothes to electronics and appliances. The rebound from a weak March suggests consumers remain resilient in the face of higher taxes and could continue to drive economic growth this spring.
Retail sales edged up 0.1 percent in April, the Commerce Department said Monday. Thats an improvement from a 0.5 percent decline in March, the largest drop in nine months.
The April gain was stronger when taking out the effect of lower gas prices, which reduced sales at gas stations 4.7 percent. The retail sales report is not adjusted for price changes.
When excluding gas station sales, retail spending rose 0.7 percent. And core retail sales, which exclude gas, autos and building supplies, increased 0.5 percent. Economists pay close attention to core sales because they strip out the most volatile categories.
Sales of autos rose 1 percent in April, rebounding from a 0.6 percent drop in March. Sales at clothing stores increased 1.2 percent and sales at general merchandise stores, a category that covers department stores, rose 1 percent. Sales were also strong at building materials and garden supply stores and electronics and appliance stores.
Consumers increased their spending in April, despite paying higher Social Security taxes that has reduced their paychecks this year. Their spending will likely add to economic growth in the April-June quarter. Consumer spending makes up roughly 70 percent of economic activity.
This is a good start to the second quarter, said Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. The rest of the year is expected to rise further on stronger household finances.
The economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate from January through March, up from a 0.4 percent rate in the October-December quarter of 2012. The gain was largely because of the fastest growth in consumer spending in more than two years.
But most of the increase came from greater spending at the start of the quarter. Consumers cut back sharply on retail spending in March, while paying more for utilities to heat their homes during a colder-than-usual month.
Some economists had worried that the weak month of spending in March was a sign that the tax increase was starting to catch up with the consumer.
But other factors appear to have made the consumer more resilient.
Chris G. Christopher Jr., director of consumer economics at IHS Global Economics, said that falling gas prices and an improving job market have cushioned some of the impact of the higher Social Security taxes.
The economy added 165,000 jobs in April and has created an average of 208,000 jobs a month since November. Thats well above the monthly average of 138,000 for the previous six months.
Cheaper gas is leaving consumers with more disposable income. The national average price has risen slightly over the past week to $3.58 a gallon. But it is still 21 cents lower than the peak price reached on Feb. 27.
And a surging stock market and increases in home prices may be making consumers feel wealthier and more inclined to spend.
Most economists still expect growth to weaken slightly in the April-June quarter. But after seeing the more upbeat retail sales figures for April, some are raising their forecasts. Analysts at JPMorgan now predict growth will slow to a 2 percent rate, up from their previous forecast of 1.5 percent.
And many expect economic growth will strengthen in the second half of the year.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON How did trade schools go from being mom-and-pop shops that trained mechanics and...

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie made light of 'fat jokes' and ate doughnuts with David Letterman during a recent 'Late Show' appearance.
- Filed Under
Martin Luther King Jr. famously dreamed of when a man would be judged by the "content of his character." Even though this nation has moved toward the fulfillment of that dream, the recent media scrutiny of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's weight is another reminder that outward appearance matters. The notion that Christie's weight somehow disqualifies him to be president is the type of shallow thinking that our nation has combated since its founding.
The late-night jokes were obvious, and late-night comedians are supposed to attack stereotypes and offend people, even with sophomoric fat ...
