This document claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/762,467, entitled "Network Health Record and Repository Systems and Methods" and filed Jan. 26, 2006, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by this reference.
The present invention relates generally to resource and record management and, more particularly, methods and systems for health care record and resource management. The invention disclosed herein provides for the creation, maintenance, and management of a Network Health Record by the patient or under the control, direction, and authorization of the patient.
Research shows that most people want convenient access to their health information. As computers and the Internet continue to become more pervasive, and as security technology improves, demand for electronic access to patient-centric medical data will increase. However, the current problem in healthcare is that a patient's healthcare records are distributed across many different islands of information. Traditionally, clinical observation has been a paper-based system and it has been very difficult to move beyond that model in healthcare to an automated, network-based system. The Medic Alert Foundation ("MedicAlert") has been holding a form of medical information for its members electronically since the early 1970s. As the industry moves to a more acute awareness of the benefits of automation, MedicAlert currently provides a solution to the problem of centrally holding information from disparate sources in a central repository.
A problem that arises, however, is how to provide access to the right information at the right time and at the right place to the right person. A patient's healthcare record contains information from more than one source. Individual healthcare records are stored in and retrieved from many different information systems, such as physician offices, hospital systems, insurance carrier claims databases, pharmacy and medical laboratory systems, point-of-care clinics, patient financial services and others. A patient's records from one system will be maintained and contained in that system. However, if that patient changes providers or changes insurance plans and now sees new doctors at a new office and is serviced in a different hospital, the records from the new doctor or the new hospital will not always be coordinated with the older records. Thus, the problem is that a complete historical view of a patient's care no matter where the patient received care does not exist.
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for healthcare information management. One system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a system for managing a patient's healthcare information at a plurality of locations, comprising a plurality of facilities where the patient's healthcare information is stored, a repository and management system, a communications network providing communications capability among and between the plurality of facilities and the repository and management system, wherein the repository and management system enables the patient to manage the patient's healthcare information stored at the plurality of facilities. One embodiment uses federated identity and access management to develop a dynamic topology using indexes of patient data at other sites.
These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention are better understood when the following Detailed Description is read with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
One embodiment of the present invention utilizes a networked patient-centered electronic health record (EHR), or Network Health Record (NHR), within a Networked Health Record System to permit a patient to manage his or her health records. The NHR includes a collection of individual records and references to individual records that reside in a variety of information systems and locations and on multiple types of media. An associated NHR Engine may be provided to enable access to these distributed records. The NHR contains information that is primarily provided by and with the authorization of the member, or patient, and from many health-related encounters. These records collectively reflect the current health status and lifetime medical history of an individual. The NHR is "networked" in the sense that the healthcare information does not necessarily reside in one place. Individual healthcare records are stored in and retrieved from many information systems, such as physician offices, hospital systems, insurance carrier claims databases, pharmacy and medical laboratory systems, point-of-care clinics, patient financial services and others. Additionally, some components of the patient-centered NHR are in enterprise-wide data, voice, and image repositories. The patient-centered NHR does not gather and store health related data from disparate sources; therefore it avoids the extensive cost and complexity involved in establishing and maintaining large warehouses of information.
The NHR differs from an EHR stored at a central repository in that the information is sourced from significantly different locations, which necessitates an approach to creating, managing, maintaining, and accessing the information in a way that accounts for the distributed nature of the actual information storage. The NHR is a patient-centric record for which in one embodiment the patient ultimately determines who may have access and to whom Patient Healthcare Information (PHI) may be released. A centralized repository and management system (RMS), interacts with an information requester as well as the various sites and systems from which the information is sourced, and provides a platform for the patient to manage the NHR. The RMS includes the NHR Engine and enables the patient whose information is being managed to provide secure access to the appropriate healthcare information through the granting (or denying) of permissions to physicians, hospital personnel, laboratory personnel, insurance claims personnel, etc.
The information flow between each node in the network is routed through the RMS (which in one embodiment is the MedicAlert Repository System (MARS)), which provides services for the collection, summarization, categorization, classification and communication of the information based on the patient's authorization profile. Moreover, in processing a request for information, the NHR Engine, after ascertaining that the requester has the appropriate permissions, identifies the locations of the requested information, assembles the information, and integrates the possibly disparate formats in which the information may be presented to the requester as an integrated package. A NHR Index may be stored in the RMS that may contain summary personal health information and links to the more complete personal health information located at the source node.
One purpose of the NHR System is to allow for the creation and management of a NHR.
Members and healthcare professionals can use client devices 110 to access data through the RMS 140 via a user interface. In one embodiment, a client device 110 may connect to the RMS 140 via a network 106, such as the Internet. The network 106 may also comprise an intranet, a Local Area Network (LAN), a telephone network, or a combination of suitable networks. The client device 110 and devices 120, 130, and 140 may connect to the network 106 through wired, wireless, or optical connections.
In other embodiments, the client device 110 may be directly connected to the RMS 140. In one embodiment, the list of interfaces includes the software running on the E-HealthKEY and the MedicAlert website. In other embodiments, access may include partner Web sites and other devices, e.g. advanced static memory devices and mobile phones.
Examples of client devices 110 are static memory devices, personal computers, personal digital assistants, mobile phones, digital tablets, laptop computers, Internet appliances, and other processor-based devices. In general, a client device 110 may be any suitable type of processor-based platform that is connected to a network 106 and that interacts with one or more application programs. The client device 110 can contain a processor 112 coupled to a computer readable medium, such as memory 114. Client devices 110 may operate on any operating system capable of supporting a browser or browser-enabled application, such as Microsoft� Windows� or Linux. The client device 110 is, for example, a personal computer executing a browser application program such as Microsoft Corporation's Internet Explorer™, Netscape Navigator™, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari™, the Opera Web Browser, and/or open source browsers.
The NHR System 100, as shown in
The patient may either access his PHI or control access to his PHI through client device 110, which may be, for example, a personal computer residing at the patient's home. A person other than the patient who is interested in accessing the patient healthcare information may also access the system through client device 110, which in that case may be, for example, a personal computer residing in a physician's office, or an enterprise network located within a medical facility.
The present system can utilize clients and interfaces to services that provide information access and manipulation capabilities delivered using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to access to the RMS 140. The SOA approach gives healthcare providers the ability to mix and match best of breed applications to provide these functions. In one embodiment, the software for a client device provides:
In one embodiment, the RMS 140 is structured and tuned to support the function of providing for the patient or member with one composite health record across time and providers. Other systems may fulfill the roles of administrative functions, service or product orders, and billing. The RMS 140 supports a representation of a health record for each patient or member.
The RMS 140 may also incorporate the following services: entity identification and management to facilitate interfaces between entities; patient record and locator retrieval to facilitate exchange of data with the proper security and privacy safeguards in place; and common terminology services to facilitate the correct terminology mappings and provide semantic interoperability in healthcare.
An Information Model and a Terminology Model may be important to the RMS 140. In one embodiment, the RMS 140 may include functionality that requires the implementation of a reference model. Institutions such as the National Library of Medicine have built the "Unified Medical Language System" (UMLS), which is an aggregation of most terminology systems, and to some extent therefore, a reference model.
In one embodiment, a problem-list Information Model may be implemented in the RMS 140 and provide for a "whole person" view of the personal health record. A problem can consist of one or more conditions, which can be diagnosed in one or more ways, and can be treated with medications, procedures or activities that can be part of an overall care plan. In addition, the whole person view allows for the inclusion of other aspects of the patient's health, like vital sign tracking, wellness advice, reports and other documents, charts, images, scans, alerts and many other elements that make up the best possible data bank of personal health information.
Information Models, one for the database structure and another used as a reference model for information exchange with partners, deal with the way the data is structured in a system. For example one database may have a single field in which all the address data is entered as free text, and another database may use different fields for each element of the address, such as Street, Apt #, City, State and Zip Code. There may be two related information models used because the reference information model will be expected to change over time as business practices and medical knowledge evolve. The reference information model can be used to minimize the need to physically change the database structure, which is a time and money intensive process.
In one embodiment, the Terminology Model utilizes standard classification systems for medical conditions, medications and medical terminology that are international in scope, and moves the model away from proprietary coding, which adds overhead to any exchange of information with other systems or with emergency responders. The medical terminology model may be flexible and robust enough to handle new business requirements.
Terminology Models and code sets address the meaning of the information that is actually entered into the data fields. For simple, stable and relatively limited elements, like the abbreviations for the States, this is not a big problem, since the U.S. Post Office has set a standard that is in wide use in this country. However, one of the biggest challenges in the medical domain is the extensive, complex and evolving medical terminologies, both for use within a system like the RMS 140, and especially for information interchange with external partners and affiliates. The most obvious problem is the proliferation of synonyms for the same medical concept—one person says elevated blood pressure, another says hypertension and also says the equivalent in Hebrew. As with the reference information model, there may be two related terminology models—one used in the internal structure of the NHR and RMS 140, and the other, the reference Terminology Model used for mediating information interchange, which will also limit the impact of evolving terminology changes on the physical system.
The requester can access the RMS 140 through the network 106 (e.g. the Internet) from client device 110 (e.g. a Web browser on the physician's personal computer). The NHR Engine 146 is located within the memory 144 of the RMS 140, but the NHR Engine 146 could be located in the database 150, or both. The NHR Engine 146 ascertains the identity of the requester as well as the patient whose information is being requested and determines whether the requester has been given permission by the patient to access the requested information. Such permission information may be stored either in the memory 144 or the database 150. In one embodiment, an Entity Identity Manager 172 (as shown in
Assuming the requester has permission to access the requested PHI 126, 136, the NHR Engine 146 may access the NHR Index 168 maintained in database 150 to identify the location or locations of the facility servers where requested information is maintained. The NHR Engine 146 then accesses the identified facility servers through network 106 and, after negotiating a secured connection and verifying the identity of the patient as well as the availability of the requested PHI, obtains the requested PHI 126, 136, from the identified facility servers 120, 130. If the patient has multiple PHI 126, 136 records, the NHR Engine 146 ascertains which is current and correct. The NHR Engine 146 provides synchronization with other copies of PHI 126, 136 records. The requested PHI 126, 136 are delivered in standardized forms, for example in Change Control Record (CCR) using common delivery formats such as XML. The RMS 140 then assembles the requested PHI 126, 136, into an integrated package for presentation to the client device 110 through network 106. For integration, the RMS 140 may perform simple data alignments of the PHI 126, 136, to ensure common presentation of the data.
As discussed above, the RMS 140 may include the NHR Engine 146 and NHR Index 168. The RMS 140 may also include one or more services 166. As shown in
The RMS 140 can provide connectivity to provider 164, payer 152 and physician 154 nodes, and to the first responders 156, emergency rooms 158 and family notification 162 services that are external to the RMS 140. The provider 164, payer 152, and physician 154 nodes may also reside on or be accessed via processor-based devices, such as servers. More specifically, the provider 164, payer 152, and physician 154 nodes may include or be accessed via processor-based devices, such as the facility servers 120, 130 shown in
The NHR System may also contain Emergency Response nodes so that it may respond to requests from properly identified, authenticated and authorized first responders 156 and emergency rooms 158 for information to be used for the benefit of a patient or member. The services 166 may contain one or more Emergency Groups containing the first responders 156 and emergency rooms 158 information, in order to properly identify and authenticate the request.
A response from the first responder 156 or emergency room 158 is presented to the RMS 140 via any of a number of devices, including telecommunications, Web browsers, and portable and mobile communicators. Once the request has been affirmatively vetted by the RMS 140, the appropriate and authorized personal, contact and medical information is made available to the requestor. In one embodiment, all requests are maintained in an audit log.
The services 166 may also include a family notification service. The family notification service may be invoked based on a number of conditions and any single notification may be implemented using the most appropriate protocol and device in combination. For example, the family notification may be made by e-mail, simple messaging service (SMS) on cellular devices, direct voice dialing, or other multimedia communications devices.
In one embodiment, the RMS 140 utilizes provider nodes 164, payer nodes 152, and physician nodes 154 to obtain PHI 126, 136 (shown in
PHI 126, 136 (as shown in
Payer nodes 152 may include health insurance carriers, MediCare, and state and local health plans in the U.S., and national health services in many other countries. PHI 126, 136 that is included from payer nodes 152 is primarily summarized from claims submitted by or on behalf of the patient or member. Since insurance claims are for the most part based on clinical encounters, prescriptions and other orders, and the administration of treatments and procedures, this information provides a timely, accurate and comprehensive snapshot of key elements of the insured patient's health record. The payer nodes 152 may be housed in or include a facility server 120, 130, as shown in
Physician nodes 154 may be made up of various forms of connectivity to doctors' offices. Physician offices may use some form of electronic health record system. Most doctors are still using paper files that are physically filed in their office. The location, tracking and management of these physical files may be automated, and can be part of the connectivity at a particular node. In addition, almost all physician offices use some form of electronic claims submission system, so this can be used to capture some of the clinical data for insured patients. The physician nodes 154 may be housed in or include a facility server 120, 130, as shown in
Each node 164, 152, and 154 may have its own set of requirements for information exchange. One embodiment of the present invention utilizes emerging standards for interoperability services, for example using the UMLS thesaurus, to provide the "plug and play" capability in order to enable the NHR System to embrace the most comprehensive spectrum of nodes 164, 152, and 154.
The patient or member 160 of the NHR System is the source of requests for inclusion or release of any PHI 126,136 (shown in
As shown in
In one embodiment, the NHR Engine 146 accesses or makes a request for access to information that is only available in a PHI 126 stored in another location that is not pre-identified by the EIM 172, such as Facility Server 120. It is also possible that the NHR Engine 146 will be asked to provide access or information to a requester that is not part of the NHR domain. In these cases, the NHR Engine 146 can request identification, authorization and authentication of the request and the requester from the Federated Identity Manager (FIM) 174, as shown in
It is also possible for the NHR Engine 146 to establish a direct link to an existing PHI 126 using a Data Interchange/Terminology Conversion Service (DITC) 186 that is known to the NHR System 100 (i.e., supported DITC). A DITC 186 is a translator service implemented via software that converts from one format, coding scheme, or language to another. DITC 186 may be used when the code sets supported by the NHR Engine 146 (e.g., ICD, HL7, etc.) do not match the coding of the Facility Server 120 where the PHI 126 is located. DITC 186 may be provided by various commercial service providers. In one embodiment, the NHR Engine 146 may access the requested PHI 126 through a DITC 186 via the network 106. In which case, the NHR Engine 146 via the network 106 makes a request to a Facility Server 120 for PHI 126. The request includes the code sets list and DITC list supported by the NHR Engine 146. If DITC 186 conversion is required because the coding for the NHR Engine 146 and the Facility Server 120 do not match, the Facility Server 120 compares the DITC service for the requested PHI 126 to the NHR Engine 146 supported DITC list, if no common DITC 186 service exist the Facility Server returns an error message to the NHR Engine 146. If a common DITC 186 service does exist, the Facility Server 120 sends the requested PHI 126 to the DITC 186 via the network 106 for conversion. The DITC 186 then translates the PHI 126 into the desired format and sends the translated PHI 126 to the NHR Engine 146 via the network 106. If no translation is necessary because the Facility Server 120 coding and the NHR Engine 146 supported code sets match, then the NHR Engine 146 may receive the requested PHI 126 located at Facility Server 120 directly via the network 106 without use of the DITC 186.
Each Emergency Group 180 may also be comprised of a header for identification, and one or more entries containing the associated first responders 158 and emergency rooms 158 information. The Emergency Group 180 is used by the NHR System in case of an emergency to provide the Emergency Response service described-above.
The NHR Index 168 content is determined via the NHR Engine 146 regulating the flow of data between each node in the network.
The secure communications layer 402 provides network protection and threat prevention. This solution includes standard network firewall services as well as application level security services. Stored information is protected from loss, so that once it is entered or received into the repository, the patient is guaranteed that it will never be lost. In addition, stored information is protected from unauthorized disclosure once it is in the repository or while it is in transit from a remote information source. Features to support security comprise digital signatures, auditing, and the Entity Identification 404 processes. Because of the critical need to maintain the security and privacy of healthcare information, the secure communications layer 402 is implemented whenever a request for information is received by the RMS 140 and whenever PHI is presented back to the requester at a client device 110.
The Entity Identification 404 processes provides functionality in the areas of access management, identity life cycle management, and directory services. The Entity Identification 404 processes enable the patient to establish a release of information policy, thereby granting permission to access records to such persons as family members, emergency response personnel, identified healthcare professionals such as organizations (e.g. MedicAlert, insurance providers, etc.), facilities (e.g. hospital, lab, pharmacy, etc.), and individuals (e.g. physician, pharmacists, other care-givers). Thus, when a request for information is received, the Entity Identification 404 processes are invoked to ascertain whether the requester has the necessary permissions. Valid permissions include Exist, View, Append, and Hide. Entity Identification 404 also insures that any additions and changes to the legal medical record conform to legal requirements. In addition, several features enable a permitted party to add information to a record. These permissions will enable:
Once properly identified and given permitted access, within Service Management 406, the requester (e.g. the patient), for example and without limitation, can:
To create a NHR for a patient, the patient or member may use a client device to interact with the NHR system.
As shown in
The RMS 140 via the NHR Engine 146 then assembles links 212 to the PHI 126, 136 at the facility servers 120, 130. If necessary, DITC 186 may be used to translate the data passed from the facility server 120, 130 to the NHR Engine 146, so the NHR Engine 146 may assemble links 212 to the associated PHI 126, 136 located at the facility servers 120, 130. The NHR Engine 146 assembles links 212 by creating a NHR Index 168 containing Data Location 182 and the links may be grouped within the NHR Index 168 as History Groups 184, wherein an entry 318B may contain a link and a summary of the associated full-scale record entry 318A of the PHI 126 located at the facility server 120. The NHR Index 168 may contain various links to PHI 126, 136 and via the NHR Engine 146 these links will be governed by the EIM 172 and/or the FIM 174 to allow operations on the information in the NHR Index 168 as defined by the associated HRAM 176, 178.
The RMS 140 then outputs 226 the NHR Index 168 through a secure communications layer 402 and the network 106 to the client device 110 for display to the client or member 160. The client or member 160 via the client device 110 will be presented with the NHR Index 168, essentially a record containing various links to associated PHI 126, 136 and may contain summary information regarding the patient and the health information. The NHR System 100 may not store the complete PHI 126, 136, but instead the NHR Index 168 may contain links to the PHI 126, 136 as stored at the remote facility servers 120, 130.
To view specific details of a PHI entry on a NHR, the patient or member may select the link on the NHR Index 168 and drill-down from there.
As shown in
As shown in
The requesting patient or member 160 via a client device 110 then selects a particular link to view PHI 126, 136 details (i.e., drill-down to specific details of the requested record, for example, details of all treatment for a sprained ankle). Through the network 106 via a secure communications layer 402 the NHR Engine 146 receives 218 this request for a first and second PHI 126, 136. The NHR Engine 146 may further determine via an internal Entity Identification 404 process whether the requesting patient or member 160 has authorization to access the PHI 126, 136 details.
The NHR Engine 146 via its EIM 172 and FIM 174 and the associated HRAM 176, 178 through the network 106 and a secure communications layer 402, the NHR Engine 146 obtains 220 the first PHI 126 from the first identified facility server 120 and the second PHI 136 from the second identified facility server 130. If necessary, DITC 186 may be used to properly convert the PHI 126, 136 retrieved from the first and second facility server 120, 130 into a supported format before transmittal to the NHR Engine 146.
Then the RMS 140 assembles the requested PHI 126, 136, into an integrated package (e.g., simple data alignment) and outputs 224 the first and second PHI 126, 136 to the authorized requesting patient or member 160 via the client device 110 through a secure communications layer 402 and the network 106. The patient or member 160 is presented with a detailed PHI record via the client device 100. The detailed PHI record is not stored by the NHR System 100, but is a mirror image of the PHI 126, 136 as actually stored at the remote facility servers 126, 136.
The foregoing description of the embodiments, including preferred embodiments, of the invention has been presented only for the purpose of illustration and description and is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. Numerous modifications and adaptations thereof will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Recently I saw Matthew Bourne's Nutcracker on Trio, and the Ovation channel broadcast three British shows from a few years ago -- a tribute to Markova on the occasion of her 90th birthday, an interview with Fokine's granddaughter, and MacMillan's The Judas Tree, with Mukhamedov and Leanne Benjamin.
I knew little about The Judas Tree before seeing it, except that it was by MacMillan. When I saw how Benjamin was dressed and all the men, I braced myself for an all out MacMillan gangbang. Wasn't far wrong. Interesting viewing in conjunction with the Markova interview; I could imagine Dame Alicia saying to herself, "Well, thank goodness Pat and I never had to do THAT." Times have changed.

Bramble claims he would happily sign an extension at Sunderland if one were put to him, but insists he will not be forcing the issue.
He hopes to let his football do the talking for the remainder of the 2012/13 campaign, with it up to him to earn a new deal or catch the eye of potential new employers.
Bramble told The Northern Echo: "In football you never know what is going to happen.
"I know I was linked with QPR (in January), but I am not focused on that. Sunderland is my team and that is who I am playing for. I will give 100 per cent for Sunderland.
"I didn't know if my time here was coming to an end. I didn't think about it. I just came in every day, trained hard and what happens off the pitch will happen. I only care about what happens on the pitch.
"What happens in the summer happens. I am happy and settled here.
"I am out of contract. It's up to the manager and the directors what they want to do. I will happily sign a new contract here, but it's out of my hands."

The free condom program in city high schools starts next week.
The city school district is starting the free condom program because, according to the district, half of the new HIV infections in the city happen in people between the age of 15 and 24. This year, more than 680 kindergarten students in the city are children of teen mothers.
A student can get 10 condoms per day. The district says they got that number based on the New York City model. The students have to sign a pledge that they will not sell or give away condoms to their friends. But that's exactly what one person who counsels teen moms in school thinks is going to happen.
Nancy Shelton, CAPP Coordinator, said, "The reality is that kids are having sex."
Nancy Shelton counsels teen mothers in the city school district. She helped coordinate the free condom program that starts Monday.
Shelton said, "I think the number is appropriate because what ends up happening is they often share those condoms with their friends. I don't assume they're have sex 10 times a day."
But sharing with friends means students could get condoms for friends whose parents opted out of the program. The district admits it can't control that.
Jerome Underwood, Sr. Dir. Youth Dev. & Family Services, said, "There's nothing that is going to prevent that. It's going to be up to the young man, the young lady and the counseling the nurses give them."
Shelton says sharing could get condoms in the hands of students who are too embarrassed to ask.
News10NBC's Berkeley Brean said, "The number 10 just struck us as high, as well as our viewers."
Shelton said, "I can imagine. I mean I'm a parent myself. And I would be a little struck if I found out my sons were going to the nurse's office everyday getting 10 condoms and it would cause me to have some conversations with my kids. But at the same time, I would prefer that my children have access to condoms as opposed to not."
The program is not set up where kids go up to a fishbowl and scoop out 10 condoms everyday. They have to get a note to see the school nurse. The district says if a student asks for 10 condoms or goes to the nurse everyday, they'll get special counseling, especially if the nurses believe the student is engaging in what the district calls risky or excessive sexual activity.
Abstinence is talked about as part of the counseling session with the school nurse, but people like Nancy Shelton, don't think it's realistic to think that every student will follow that. Their own studies show 60% of high school students in the city are sexually active. So their attitude is better to be safe than sorry.

NEW YORK—More than 100 application (app) developers got together over the weekend—putting in more than 1,000 hours to create sustainability apps for New Yorkers.
Thirteen teams competed in Reinvent Green, PlaNYC's first sustainability hackathon Saturday and Sunday at NYU–Polu in Downtown Brooklyn.
Five teams received prizes after 30 straight hours of work.
ReBountywon Best App for City Crowdsourcing, allowing users to list their own and browse other unwanted household and personal items. A way to reduce consumer waste in the city, the app also allows users to set up notifications for specific items in nearby locations.
GreenCan won Best App for Recycling. The simple app lets users locate the nearest recycling trash can, and provides useful recycling-related information, such as what to do with electronics and organics. GreenCan was also developed with the purpose of providing the city of New York with better information on where to place recycling cans.
Bike Pooling won Best App for Transportation. Bike Pooling will let users locate other cyclists who commute on the same path. The app aims to get more bikers to ride together, promoting safer biking, and converting more people to biking in the city.
FreshFixNYC won Best App for Parks and Public Spaces. FreshFixNYC locates farmers markets and lists available products and green farmers, enabling New Yorkers to build a sustainable relationship with their local farmers and have easier access to fresh, green products.
The fifth category, Judges' Pick, was awarded to Green, Greener, Greenest. The app lists the different neighborhoods throughout NYC, ranking them by green data such as energy consumption and number of trees planted—allowing competition between neighborhoods.
New Yorkers are able to vote via Facebook for the sixth prize category, Popular Choice, until July 15. The winner will be announced in late July.
"Reinvent Green brought together the city's brightest young talents to create applications that provide solutions to manage waste recycling, to conserve water, and to bring environmental awareness to neighborhoods," said Brian Blauvelt, president of Energy Infotech NYC. "It is events like these that are paving the way for New York City to becoming the number one energy infotech hub in the world."
Technology partners such as Bitly, Facebook, Foursquare, Google, Twitter, and more, provided a variety of expertise throughout the hackathon, including on-site mentorship. Competitors also had access to over 1,000 city data sets.
"This event set a great example for current and future students interested in engineering and demonstrates how education coupled with hands-on experience can be used to tackle the most pressing issues facing our cities today," said Jerry Hultin, president of NYU-Poly.

Michael Phelps swam his way into the history books yesterday by earning his 19th Olympic medal, becoming the most decorated athlete of all time. And I feel totally qualified to talk about that achievement, as I personally have earned four separate trophies for Little League. Beat that, Phelps! Wait, I'm told that everyone else on the team — and maybe even the league — also got a trophy, but I'm not letting that detract from my moments of glory. So obviously I can relate to what Phelps must be feeling like right now. But man, 19 medals!? Can he even remember each of them? We can! Head on down to the gallery below to relive the moments, from Athens back in 2004, all the way to last night's victory in the 4×200m freestyle relay finals. So chant a few "USA! USA! USA!"s and check out the highlights from Michael Phelps' record breaking career. Enjoy!

Speaking today after attending SIPTU's celebration of the 70th Anniversary of Aer Lingus, Sinn Féin spokesperson on Transport Seán Crowe appealed to "all Aer Lingus workers and progressive political forces to join in a concerted effort to ensure that our national airline carrier stays in public ownership."
Deputy Crowe said, "Privatisation is a bad deal both for workers and the general public. Many Aer Lingus workers, past and present, have made great sacrifices to ensure that Aer Lingus is in the very healthy and profitable position it is today. As an island nation, a national carrier is imperative considering our strategic interests.
"We don't want any more privatisation debacles such as Eircom. A small few will be the only beneficiaries.
"It is quite hypocritical of the Taoiseach to criticise former Aer Lingus chief executive Willie Walsh for attempting to "steal the assets" of Aer Lingus when his current government will sell the airline for pittance. The proposed privatisation of Aer Lingus will be the true stealing of state assets. The selling off of Aer Lingus would only realise approximately €400 million, which is the price of four wide-bodied jets.
"I would appeal to all Aer Lingus workers and progressive political forces to join in a concerted effort to ensure that our national airline carrier stays in public ownership." ENDS
Note to editor: Sinn Féin have organised a public meeting regarding the privatisation of Aer Lingus in the Carnegie Court Hotel, Swords, Tuesday 23rd May, 7.30pm, all welcome.
Speakers: Seán Crowe, Matt McCormick (Sinn Féin), Mick Halpenny (SIPTU).

My NYC lawyer daughter took me to Centrico on a recent visit. She told me all about Aaron Sanchez and what a great food the restaurant must have. Being a vegetarian, I ordered the Sopes as my main dish, as there is little on the menu that a vege could eat. The description said corn tarts with black beans, salsa, queso fresco. When the dish arrived, I eagerly forked in my first taste, and had the childish reaction to spit it right back out. The corn tart had absolutely no taste at all - bland, saltless. The "black beans" were more of a bean juice glaze, the salsa was so-so, the cheese was good! I could not believe such subpar food from a celebrated chef and high-priced restaurant. Add to that the slowness of the service, and it beats me why anyone would want to eat there.

I couldn't ask for a better evening and pleasant dinning experience. I am a big fan of the chef and the restaurant has an amazing vibe. The food and service are excellent. I have dined here about three years ago and wasn'y pleased with the service but I must say thumbs up!!!
Posted by food lover on 02/10/2011
Centrico is a great place for a nice casual dinner. fish tacos were superb and the short ribs jalisco stile were juicy and flavorful. The spot light though was taken by the margaritas. So many different flavors, frozen or on the rocks, salt or no salt its so much fun to chose and they are all delicious.
Posted by still waiting... on 04/08/2010
Everything about the service last night was horrendous. I'd love to have this review be about the great weather and outdoor seating, or about the food, or the drinks (mediocre), but unfortunately the service was so bad, that it overshadowed every other aspect of the experience. In addition to the service being a huge disappointment, it was completely unapologetic. I was looking forward to visiting Centrico, but after last night I think it was my last time there.

i dont even know where to begin.. let's just say it was a 3 hour dinner. it took forever to get drinks, our order, our food which didnt come all at once , our "free round" and the bill. i just wanted to get out of there by the time our entrees came
Posted by LZP on 10/05/2009
We took my sister in law here to celebrate her bday. They immediately accomodated our table request and offered speedy service. We started out with the Sangria, which needs a lot of improvement, it was full of lots of ice and barely had any flavor. We moved onto the margaritas which were much better. The appetizers were good size portions, the sopes are great as well as the chips and trio of salsas. For the main entree we had the pollas a la brasas and the short ribs, these were excellent. My brother in-law had the salmon which he did not love as much. Desert was great, they sang to my sister in law and gave us bday shots. Overall it was a good experience, but pricey. Good for special ocassions. Would definitely go back.
Posted by DiningMartyr on 10/01/2009
The soul-sucking atmosphere competes with the taste-sucking food. While the fish in the taco was well prepared, the tortilla was gummy and the accompanying mango salsa was a spicy incongruous mess. The beef cheek ragu in the Enchiladas De Conejo was watery, flavorless and grisly. Garcia should poke his head in here once in awhile.

Discussion in 'Sports' started by Zodiac, Jul 10, 2006.
Remember to refactor your gearing!
OK folks, nice weather here this weekend so I need to get my bike on the road and so I need to know, 2 broke spokes = no chance to true a wheel so I need a new one or the guy at REI was a moron
Yeah, new spokes. Simple.
2 broken spokes in the 32 hole world = weak wheel.
One of the things I miss from the good old days are real pro-bike shops. Places that could thread a spoke to length for you, and usually just fixed the wheel instead of giving you the spokes because they were fast, and didn't trust you to mess with a wheel.
Nothing like a grumpy old racer working on your bike. Bitching about you hitting potholes instead of riding around them. Swearing at you in a thick Dutch accent...
Later, once he figures out you rode 40 miles to his shop on your way to a 120 mile workout, just to slobber over the campy SR toys behind the glass, he brings out the wooden rims he used to race on cobbled roads of Europe. Then the stories come, and an afternoon and way too much espresso passes your lips. A shop, where the smell of old metal, oil and grese mix with the creaks and groans of the aged hardwood floor. Most of the light is provided by skylights, filtered through dusty old racing bikes hung in the wooden truss rafters.
I have not found REI to be too full of old school know-how.
It ain't rocket science. You need 2 new spokes and a truing unless your not telling us the rim is the shape of a taco shell.
Any real bike shop (not REI Boston/Framingham) can do that for you. I think at my shop it would ring up about $25.
I figured the guy was a moron.
I have been riding the bike on rollers all winter with it the shape it is, and with the 2 spokes missing I just don't fancy hitting the road in the shape it's currently in.
Thanks...time to go to the LBS.
This is my first dealings with them regarding doing any work on a bike. It is also my last.
Best wheel builder I've known worked with me at a PBS. MAN! Was that dood a wonder with a spoke wrench! Start to finish in appx 30-40 min with a perfectly true and round wheel at the end.
I've been trying to get like that since I met him.
Oh, and he was an artiste ON the bike too. Watched him clear some 3'+ tall logs without a thought.
Basically what I'm sayin is that the old LBSes aren't always the place to find good mechanics. Chain stores DO usually have their fair share of maroons tho.
Yeah, but there's probably a big difference between a bike-specific chain like Performance and an all-purpose outdoors store that also sells bikes like REI. I've never had any bad experiences with the bike folks at REI, but that may be because I go there for camping and climbing gear, and elsewhere for bike stuff.
Mercury: I can't remember if I've mentioned it before, but I've had good experiences with WheelWorks on Trapelo Rd. in Belmont, and it should be pretty easy to get to for someone coming from outside 128. There are lots of other bike shops in the area with good reputations too, but WW is the one that I have the most personal experience with.
(And I hope you're right about the good weather this weekend. Other than a couple hours toodling around the carriage roads in Acadia NP in Maine last weekend, I haven't gotten in a ride in the last 2 weeks, and it's really starting to affect my mood.)
Two werds: trail run.
Easier to get ready than riding, you can usually find some trails out the back door, AND you get tired a LOT faster than riding... A good workout may take an hour start to finish.
...or just ride a trainer. (I have 2 that are gathering dust in the garage.)
But I know whatcha mean about the mood. That seratonin boost every time ya exercise is a good thing m'kay.
Llandry's is the closest LBS to me - it's just in a PIA place (if you know where it is, you know what I mean) so I was going to take it there.
I'm getting there. During the long weekend we just spent in Acadia, we did only a little biking, but lots of fast-paced hiking. It was fun, especially the really steep rocky stuff; At times it felt almost like this weird amalgam of running, mountain biking and rock climbing.
Unfortunately, no trails right out my back door. The closest place that'd be good for trail running is also the closest place for mountain biking. And the easiest way for me to get there is on a bicycle... Still, after the fun I had on foot this past weekend, I plan to get over there and check out some of the rockier trails (which are closed to bikes) on foot.
I can assure you that there's more trails around yer house than you think. Ask a hasher if yer not convinced. Drainage ditches, alleys, etc. all qualify. Oh, and make for some fan-farging-tastic runs.
Yes the single speed has made my legs stronger and I'm definitely all about picking the best line I can get my wheels to follow but lately I've been missing at least a few more gears on the really technical stuff that I just can't keep the pedals turning for.
Sooooo....this just showed up at the shop with my name all over it, I only ordered it in December! I need to order more parts for the build so I won't get to ride it for about a month
when you cut the wrong cable.
I needed to replace the front derailleur cable because it frayed and went to cut it as it wouldn't pass through a guide... and clipped the rear cable instead. I'm sure I'll see the humor in it tomorrow.
Anyone one here have any experience with Crank Brothers clipless pedals? I recently got some Candy SL's and was wondering how much free play (side to side) you have when clipped in. I just want to make sure I'm all good. The manual says you have 6 degrees of side to side and can release at 15 and 20 degrees depending on cleat placement. I have them set at 15 right now but might switch to 20.
They came on my new bike. I put them right on the 20 setting and I'm loving them. They feel pretty easy to clip out of, but if I yank real hard, they hold tight. So yeah, they're good. What was the question?
they're more sole supportive and easier to use than the egg beaters.
good all around street pedal.
Is that back one long enough to use on the front? If it is, just pull it off and use it there. No biggie. If it isn't, well, yer out however much a cable costs. Not TOO bad in the greater scheme of things. Oh, and buy housing to go with that cable. Mo bettah shifting.
just wait until you see the build Gummee, it will be spanky-at least to my eyes. All the new anodizing doo dads bring me back to the rise on Ringlé
like he said. Cables are cheap and I have to admit it's funny as hell! You should have had another beer

On October 10, 2013, RCI software engineer Tucker Hurton was recognized at the UNH Inventor's Dinner, organized by the Office of Research Partnerships and Commercialization. He was acknowledged for his work on the data destruction software that has been licensed by Obliterase, a local company that continues to work with RCI.
Congratulations, Tucker, on the outstanding work you do!
The ORPC is delighted to welcome our newest class of interns from the UNH School of Law!
Chris Leming and Nate Blase started in the office on June 3, 2013 and will be working with us throughout the summer and the next academic year. Nate and Chris just recently completed their 1L year of law school and bring a terrific variety of experiences to the ORPC.
By Marc Sedam, Executive Director, Office for Research Partnerships and Commercialization, and New Hampshire Innovation Research Center at the University of New Hampshire
DURHAM, N.H. – Research from the University of New Hampshire's chemistry department has resulted in an exclusive license agreement for an anti-fatigue hydrogel between the university and Wakup, Inc., UNH's sixth startup company.
How My Internship with the UNH Office for Research Partnerships and Commercialization has Benefitted Me and My Legal Education
I review many of the published research or research-focused press releases and news articles coming from UNH. As a publicly funded state institution, I recognize that publishing research and disseminating information is not only the faculty's highest concerns, but also UNH's top priority. However, commercializing UNH's innovations is an integral part of the University's long-term mission.
The Department of Energy has issued its FY 2013 Phase I (Release 2) Funding Opportunity Announcement (DE-FOA-0000801) for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs. Qualified small businesses with strong research capabilities in science or engineering in any of the research areas sought in the announcement are encouraged to apply.
DOE program offices participating in this Funding Opportunity Announcement:
· Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability
During this week of giving thanks, I must acknowledge my gratitude for working in an organization that I would deem as highly functioning. I joined UNH's Office for Research Partnerships and Commercialization (ORPC) during a time when the office was in flux and in the process of hiring a new director. Since then, the group has blossomed like an apple tree, now with many branches bearing ripe and exquisite fruit.

1 cup
dry black-eyed peas
1/4 cup
olive oil
onion, chopped
3 cups
fresh spinach
1 (28 ounce) can
peeled and diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons
1 teaspoon
fennel seed, ground
This was so good I almost ate half of it before dinner was even served. Don't be fooled by its simplicity, and don't leave out the fennel seed, as it really complements the flavour of the black-eyed peas and the spinach. I only had whole fennel seeds so I used those. The only change I would make is to cook the whole dish over the stove as I don't see the point of transferring it to another dish just to finish it in the oven.
Not a bad dish, both my husband and I liked it, but not good enough to save the leftovers. Also, my girls (3 & 5) did not care for it at all, so it is probably not a dish I would make again. I thought the fennel seed was a little overpowering, so I wish I would've gone with my initial instincts and just added some basil and oregano instead. I think that the fennel was the main turnoff for my kids, as well. If I ever do make this again, I will switch out the herbs and serve it as a side dish rather than a main dish.

This is very good, but I used a 14.5 oz can of tomatoes instead and added a teaspoon of Italian seasoning to give it more flavor. I brought it to Thanksgiving dinner and my uncle kept going on and on about how much he loved it; he ate more of this than anything else, even the turkey! It travels really well and looks very pretty and colorful. The red and green might be fun at a Christmas dinner! BTW, I used frozen spinach, thawed and drained, and it was still very good.
I cooked my beans in a crock pot for a few hours, ground the fennel seed in my Bullet... the fennel gave this meal just the right flavor. I loved this healthy meal and will definitely make it again and again.
Our family really enjoyed this recipe -- including our 6 year old daughter. I might cut the salt back just a little bit. I also didn't have the fennel seed (and am not a big fan of it) so I just used an equal amount of Herbes de Provence. It was a really hit and we'll be cooking it again!
Loved the combination of ingredients. I used a "family size" bag of fresh spinach, added two minced cloves of garlic, basil, oregano and pinch of cayenne. I sprinkled fresh shredded parmesan of top before baking.
Very tasty. Since I didn't have a pressure cooker, nor time to soak and cook dried black-eyed peas, I used canned organic black-eyed peas. And here's a happy accident: I mistakenly used too much salt, so to counteract it, I added some cooked macaroni to the finished dish. Nice addition. By the way, the baking step at the end may not be crucial, but your call.
I made this when our entire extended family got together for thanksgiving. I am the only vegitarian in my family, yet everyone ate it. It was the first to go!

Zermatt Unplugged 5-day exclusive music festival ended to thunderous applause with Jason Mraz and an Unplugged special guest night.
Kisses for Billy Idol, nostalgia with Lionel Richie, new sounds from Dada Ante Portas and Lunik, old favourites from Seven, Milow and Stephan Eicher.
British rocker Billy Idol appeared in drainpipe jeans and got rid of his black jeans to thrill the crowd with virtuoso guitarist Steve Stevens. His sun-tanned six-packs delighted just as much as his songs with Rebel Yell and Sweet Sixteen the highlights.

Great pizza. Had a significant problem with the manager though. I innocently asked if one of the two big screens could carry the Cardinals game. It was an important game. The manager must have been having a bad day because he snarled at me that he wouldn't, and he put on the hockey game (not a Blues game) and I could move. I did move but as I sat there I decided to take a poll. The paying customers wanted to watch the Cardinals game. The second time I asked we got into a heated argument. I left. My friends and I spent $100 elsewhere that night. We used to meet once a month there. We won't any more. The wait staff felt bad and apologized. There weren't any towels in the men's restroom either. Place is going downhill.
Best Neighborhood Bar (South County) St. Louis 2007 - Hessler's Pub & Grill
11804 Tesson Ferry Road
South St. Louis County, MO 63128
Readers' Choice: Hessler's Pub & Grill
A few years back someone put up south county's most pointless sign. It officially denotes the cluster of stores at Baptist Church and Tesson Ferry roads as Plaza 21. But nobody refers to it as that, ever. When describing a store within the strip mall, locals say, "Oh, it's in that plaza with Hessler's," and everybody knows where that is. Hessler's has been around for a quarter-century, but it feels like it's been there forever. It looks like it, too: It's like being in your buddy's wood-paneled basement. Natural Light's on tap, but so are Blue Moon, Boulevard and AmberBock. And during happy hour (weekdays from 4 to 7 p.m.) longnecks are $2, pitchers are $5, and appetizers are half-off. And that's really cheap on an already cheap menu heck, we couldn't find anything on there over $9. You'll have plenty of cash left over to buy one more Nat Light and a red T-shirt with Hessler's name on the front pocket and "Cubs Suck" on the back.

I'm Just Not That Into Him
Hit and run daters come in both sexes, but are more prevalent in guys, since many women will marry a guy she's not that into, just to have financial security and to get married. If her biological clock is ticking, the odds are even greater for a woman to settle, just to have someone. I know of too many women who believe that settling is the reality of having a man. Men are much less likely to marry a woman they're just not that into.
When He's Just Not that Into You came out, women were in awe of this concept. I've been trying to explain it for many years. Women often ask me:
* Why doesn't he call?
* Why doesn't he keep his word?
* How can he sleep with me and then disappear for a while?
* Why does he let me clean and cook and spend time and then he holds back emotionally?
* And lots more along these lines.
Sometimes these situations occur if he's scared of falling in love with you and so he sabotages the relationship rather than face his feelings. More often, as the book says: He's just not that into you. I've been saying this to women well before this book came out. But either way, you don't have him emotionally. Men and women often have different agendas when they date. Women tend to look for a long-term relationship from the first date forward and analyze a man's potential as a husband from the get-go. Men tend to go out to have fun and hope they can eventually have sex. They're not as concerned with where this liaison will go after the first few dates.
There's much more of an emphasis on finding a mate for women--"to feel complete." That makes many of us give having one too much importance.
As a DoorMat, I struggled to find a man who'd stay with me so I'd feel complete. Yes, I was desperate. Sadly, I encounter a lot of women with that mindset. It's all about HIM and if HE is into you. Both sexes need to make themselves most important. Once I had a loving relationship with ME. I no longer made having a man a priority. I'd rather wait to meet someone who makes me consider it because he interests me so much, than to search for any breathing male who likes me and try to like him, like I used to do.
I don't hear many women say, "I'm just not that into him." But not settling for someone is key to being an empowered person.
I've met some nice guys lately who liked me. I tried, like I used to, to convince myself to accept a date but found myself making excuses. Friends couldn't understand why I didn't jump at the chance to go. "He's a great catch." "He makes a lot of money." "Why not just go? You'll have a free dinner." And so on! They were even more confused when I said, "I'm just not that into him," and responded with, "You don't have to be into him to go out." But I do! I value myself too much to endure time spent with someone I'm not into. And, I don't need to use a man for a free dinner. I can feed myself!
No more settling! My time is too valuable to waste it with someone I'm just not into.
If you're single and dating, pay attention to your reaction to someone you meet. Are you seeing him or her because there's no one else, or you're horny? In the past, I believed that someone was better than no one. Now that I value me, I want to be with a guy I find special, and worth my time. So I continue to confuse people who push me to pursue the "good catch" who likes me by saying, "I'm just not that into him." I'm not a fisherman so I don't need to catch anything. That makes finding a partner too important to the grand scheme of my life.
I'm happy, in love with my life and enjoy my own company and spending time with friends. Being whole on my own means I don't need someone to complete me.
It's okay for both sexes to be "not that into ____." This concept isn't reserved for men. Become more into YOU. Enjoy doing things on your own like I do. Sometimes my friends complain I spend too much time on my own. After being dependent on having others to spend time with to not feel lonely, and having a guy to feel complete, I'm joyously enjoying all the things I love doing solo, no apologies. It's no longer what others think about me and my choices. It's what I think that matters!
When you can CHOOSE to be solo on a Saturday night because you're just not that into him or her, your life is yours.
I'm willing to share with the RIGHT person, but until then, I'll continue to assess whether each guy who asks me out is worth my time. DoorMat Daylle would never have believed it was possible to be happy without a man. Today, a man I'm into will add to my happiness, but I'm already happy on my own!
Give yourself a gift of love this weekend, whether you're in a relationship or still solo.
If you're in a relationship, cut down on the material stuff and spend the weekend being loving to each other. When you can let go of the need to be in a relationship with a romantic partner and nurture your relationship with you, you're in the best place to meet someone you won't have to settle for, or to improve your current relationship. I wish you a HAPPY, loving, Valentine's Day, whether you're single or in a relationship!

LOVE this Daylle! I needed to hear this. We do have choices. I'm going to try to change my thoughts about meeting men. I do usually wait to see if HE's into me. From now on I will decide if a guy is worth my time instead of worrying if I'm worth his.

I wish more women would pick up this mentality! Almost every woman I know is trying to find a guy or get one to commit. It gets pathetic. They are into almost anyone who will stay. My sister's clock is ticking and her desire for a baby has made her desperate. Women need to read this!

Wow! My mom needs to read this! I'm 28 and I am dating a guy I'm not really into, but my mom keeps telling me that this is my chance, he's a great catch...... But I am not happy. I am doing this for her, not myself, and I am depressed.

Old Eddie Moscow, after spending some quality time in the Russian heartlands, emerged this week to chat with venerable NBC anchor Brian Williams.
He wanted people to know that he meant well, and really was quite the patriot looking out for all of us by giving all that sensitive information to the Red Chinese and basically Red, basically Soviets. Also — he would like us to know that he was really sort of a James-Bond-esque spy character who didn't just hang out with computers. Continue reading Catching up with Eddie Moscow

Myself and my husband really enjoyed our four nights here. The location is ideal as it is away from the hustle and bustle of central Ubud. The setting itself is really picturesque and we enjoyed spending time reading on the verandah. Just make sure you remember a torch for the evening.
The house is very beautiful. The bed isn't the biggest but very comfortable. There is plenty of storage too. The bathroom was lovely but the shower didn't have the best pressure, the price you pay for staying in such a beautiful spot!
Ken and Noelle arranged for Wayan to collect us from the airport. He was a very good driver and his English was great. We arranged the rest of our travel with him too.
We really loved Yellow Flower Cafe nearby and ate there everyday. Intuitive Flow Yoga was incredible too, well worth a visit.
The Bijoux House in Ubud was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during my time in Bali. Away from the main streets and right next to a rice paddy field, this was a great location to have as my home base. Every day I came home to a clean house. The birds, frogs, and even the bugs added to the ambiance and made me feel like I was getting a real taste of like in Bali. I would highly recommend this house for anyone visiting Ubud.
Thanks jesse for your lovely review. I am very sorry that ken did not manage to leave one for you because I know he intended to. We have been on the move for the last 12 days and have had big internet challenges. ..sorry about (email hidden) any case you are welcome any time at The Bijoux house
We had a wonderful stay in this little house. It was magical at night listening to the sounds of the wildlife and watching the fireflies. The house itself was quirky and special. The bed is a piece of art in itself and long enough for my 6 foot 1 husband. Wayan (the driver) was great and it was really nice having the cleaners making daily visits. The stairs up to the area were fine too. The house is in a good location in the rice paddies so it is peaceful, but a short walking distance to ubud centre. I was a bit worried that Mosquitos might be a problem here but we took lots of mosquito protection and used the mosquito net and had no problems with mosquitos. Bring a torch as it gets dark in the area.
Bijoux House is a charming and beautiful cabin surrounded by rice fields. It's simple, but very clean. I was in particular awe of the beautiful light fixtures!
Location-wise it was perfect for me--a 15 minute walk to Ubud on the Jl. Raya (there are sidewalks!) or a quick 25,000 ojek ride to the centre of town. I had been to Ubud a handful of times before and was (supposedly) there to do some writing, so I didn't really feel the need to go into town too often. My favourite thing about the location was the fact that the friendly and tasty Yellow Flower Cafe was only a minute away! There is also a supermarket (Bintang) that is relatively close so you can use the kitchenette (gas stove, fridge)! I had a stint of dish-related bad luck, but Noelle and Ken were super gracious about it!
The staff (Made and Nyoman) made me the loveliest welcome drink, brought my clothes for laundry, and surreptitiously cleaned my room when I was out.
For writers/researchers/nomadic workers: the internet is fine! No downloading big media files, but it does what you need it to do!
Quick tips/idiosyncratic things:
- Echoing previous comments: remember to bring a flashlight at night
- If you are a restless sleeper, bring earplugs because the frogs and geckos (especially the tokay) can keep you up--but you get used to them and they're a good reminder you're in nature!
- As all houses located in rice paddies are: bring mosquito repellent!
- If you're short like me (5 feet), the bed is a bit high requiring some leaping action. But the mattress is comfy.
Thanks for the lovely stay!
We had a wonderful stay at bijoux house. It's such a beautifully hand carved house and so peaceful amongst all the creatures in the rice fields. There was plenty of places to eat surrounding bijoux house including lalalily and yellow flower cafe and mades warung. The house is suitably located far enough from the noise of busy ubud town also. It was also wonderful to have peace and quiet whilst we stayed here - we weren't disturbed by anyone, yet the house was cleaned daily whilst we were out. Thank you very much for having us here
Unser kurzer Aufenthalt in Ubud war toll, v.a. weil wir eine so schöne Unterkunft hatten. Das Bijoux House liegt ab vom Trubel der Stadt und doch kann man das Zentrum von Ubud schnell erreichen. Wir haben uns vom ersten Augenblick an sehr willkommen und wohl gefühlt. Das Häuschen ist eine echtes Unikat und so liebevoll eingerichtet!
We have just one word for Noëlle's Bijoux House: amazing. It's everything (and even a bit more) we hoped for. The location is stunning: the cabin is right in the middle of rice fields. Absolutely one of our best AirBNB-experiences.
It's about a 15 minutes walk from the chaotic centre of Ubud. With honking mopeds and cars everywhere, Bijoux House is the perfect getaway to relax.
The house isn't easy to find, and there are quite a few stairs to climb, but we had excellent help from Wayan, who might just be the best taxi driver of Ubud. Noëlle arranged that he picked us up at the airport and he guided us to the house (even carried a backpack).
The house was exactly as you see in the picture: picturesque and with a beautiful view. We especially enjoyed the porch, where we listened to the frogs, birds and crickets. It was perfectly clean and tidy, and has a rather spacious bathroom for such a cosy house. The bed is a piece of art and has a pretty good matras.
You definetely should bring a flashlight, since it gets pretty dark around the rice fields. Just around the corner you'll find the Yellow Flower Café: a really nice hangout with great (organic!) food (try the 'coconut half' and one of their smoothies) and a beautiful view. Walk a bit further and you'll find a yogacenter. Great to start the day with a 7am yoga class.
We loved it and would definetely go there again.

Currently, all companies in Bahrain are required to prepare their financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (Tait 2005, P. 222). By 1996 all listed companies in Bahrain were required to follow IAS (Al-Hussaini, Al-Shammari, Al-Sultan ,2008, P 51). The Bahrain Commercial Companies Law (BCCL) 2001 requires each registered entity to produce its balance sheet, profit and loss account and managers' (directors') report for every financial year, within three months from the end of the financial year, in compliance with the IFRSs (Tait 2005, P. 222). On June 17, 2007, a seminar about SME for IFRS was taken place in Bahrain. The purpose for the seminar was to update participants of the respected topics and identify their concerns (BDO, 2007).

New Cryoablation System from AtriCure Receives FDA Clearance
March 30, 2009 - AtriCure Inc.'s new disposable cryoablation system, Cryo1, has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the cryosurgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.
Dr. Niv Ad, M.D., chief of cardiac surgery at Inova Fairfax Hospital Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery in Falls Church, VA. successfully treated the first patient using the Cryol system. Using the AtriCure Frigitronics CCS-200 console and the Cryo1 linear disposable ablation probe, Dr. Ad, an internationally recognized thought leader in the field of cardiac surgery and the surgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, performed a minimally invasive, sole therapy cardiac ablation procedure.
The Cryo1 system offers a long, malleable yet rigid design to achieve consistent contact, superior thermal dynamics and an active defrost mode that reportedly increases ease of use. The AtriCure Frigitronics CCS-200 console supports both the Cryo1 disposable probe and the company's line of reusable cryoablation probes.
"The design and capabilities of the Cryo1 probe build on the high performance of the AtriCure Frigitronics platform. During this initial case we took advantage of the system's unique capability to use reusable and disposable cryothermy ablation probes during the same procedure," said Dr. Ad. "The active defrost function and the probe rigidity made the Cryo1 probe easy to use. This is a promising new technology and we look forward to further use and evaluation of the system."

Apparently writing film scores is de rigueur for electronic bands nowadays. First there was Daft Punk's take on Tron: Legacy, and now on the heels of their 2010 release Further, we have The Chemical Brothers' score to action flick Hanna. Luckily for filmgoers—and music fans—the Chemical Brothers have found the success that largely eluded Daft Punk.
Hanna opens with the bubbly, lightweight "Hanna's Theme", setting an iridescent, child-like tone. That fades into the danceable buzz of "Escape 700", and here it becomes clear that unlike Daft Punk, the Chemical Brothers managed to maintain their own style and simply adapted it to fit the film. This is as much a Chemical Brothers album as it is a soundtrack, and it's a good one at that.
Other quality moments arrive on "The Devil is in the Details", which harkens back to the child-like feel of "Hanna's Theme", and the later "The Devil is in the Beats", which features a similar tempo and theme, but bears a much darker synth imprint and an ominous voice-over. It's truly amazing the amount of variation the Chemical Brothers can find in one basic idea.
"Marissa Flashback" and the vocal version of "Hanna's Theme" are quieter and bring to mind the dreamy pieces on Further. "Bahnhof Rumble" and "Car Chase (Arp Worship)" feature the layered beats that the duo is so famous for, making the songs easily recognizable as their work. Even more traditional soundtrack pieces like "Interrogation/ Lonesome Subway/ Grimm's House" bear the Chemical Brothers' distinct sound.
Some tracks are pretty, some are ominous and haunting, a few are just plain fun, but all the songs on the Hanna OST are quality electronica from one of the genre's foremost acts. If the soundtrack is this good, I can't wait to see the film.
