Have you recently decided to pursue a career in phlebotomy? You should feel confident knowing that you have chosen to enter a robust and recession-proof career field in the health care industry that gives you the opportunity to regularly help patients. As a phlebotomist, you will be diagnosing the health status of patients by drawing and analyzing blood samples. If you are serious about entering into this profession, it is important that you understand some of the typical procedures you will be performing on a regular basis on-the-job as a phlebotomist.
The most common procedure you will be able to complete routinely after your education and training is a venipuncture procedure. During the venipuncture procedure, you will insert a safety or butterfly needle into a patient's vein and then you will attach the needle to tubes so that blood can be collected. It is important that you collect the proper amount of blood, apply proper pressure to the wound bandage it appropriately. Another very common procedure a phlebotomist will routine execute is a finger stick during which the index finger, heel or foot of a patient will be pricked so that blood can be collected and later analyzed. The phlebotomist will cover the wound with a cotton ball. As an aspiring phlebotomist, you can also expect to use arterial stick to measure blood gases or perform other tests. A phlebotomy technician must be extremely focused and organized when labeling blood samples so that they are assigned and can be identified with the correct patient. It could become very dangerous if any mistakes are made in the labeling process. Another very important task that a phlebotomist must regularly execute is properly completing all necessary paperwork pertaining to patients and samples. This is a very important administrative responsibility.
As you can see, phlebotomists are responsible for executing several very important procedures. Venipunctures and the finger stick are two routine procedures in phlebotomy used to collect and later analyze blood samples. In addition, properly labeling samples and completing all necessary paperwork accurately pertaining to patients and samples are important tasks that all phlebotomists must execute. The specific tasks that phlebotomists have to complete also vary depending on the work setting and employer.

A Minimalist Wood Kitchen in the UK
Kitchen Spotlight
Architect Mark Pellant lives in an airy, contemporary home in Hove, a town on the southern coast of England, near Brighton. The home was built using sustainable materials and renewable energy sources — a design that continues into the kitchen.
As he tells Apartment Therapy, Mark is "very influenced by Scandinavian and Japanese philosophies of simple lines and a limited palette of materials." To that end, the kitchen cabinets (made of birch ply with oak fronts) are simple and unfussy, while the countertops made of recycled glass and crushed seashells "give the look of concrete without the environmental impact," Mark says.

I love the light and clean feeling in the kitchen, and wish there were one or two shots from in between the two counters.
The dining area cries out for a rug. As it is, guests must feel a bit as if they're afloat on a sea of wood. It would add not only warmth and interest, but give those sitting at table a sense of being in a more bounded space.
this makes me happy.

I wonder if anyone has some nice CSS styles for the tabber widget that they would share. It looks rather plain, even with the four included styles. I could work it out in a few hours, but it would be nice to get some help!
I'll be happy to share styling on something I've done in return.

It would be great if the plugin came with some pre-made stylings. Shaded grey stylings would be great because grey is a neutral color and would work for all sites. It would definitely be better than having to style from scratch every time. This isn't always a quick or easy task for those of us who aren't very familiar with css yet. Cforms contact form plugin offers different css stylings with their plugin, so I'm not quite sure why ithemes can't. Since it appears there are a few people who would like this offering, I will post it in the feature requests section. I've posted requests there before but they seem to fall on deaf ears.

President Hu Jintao on Thursday called on China and the United States to escape from the outdated thinking that major powers are predestined to engage in conflict.
Hu also said that the two countries should seek new ways to enhance their relations in remarks he made at the opening session of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Beijing.
"Whatever changes may take place in the world, and no matter how the domestic situations in our two countries may evolve, China and the US should be firmly committed to advancing a partnership of cooperation," Hu said.
They should also strive to build new relations to reassure people from China and the United States and across the world, he said.
"We should, through creative thinking and concrete action, prove that the traditional belief that big powers are bound to enter into confrontation and conflict is wrong and seek new ways of developing relations between major countries in the era of economic globalization," he said.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane rejected Gov. Tom Corbett's plan to privatize the Pennsylvania lottery system. Corbett, who had pitched in idea to allow a British lottery firm to run the state's successful lotto, said he was "disappointed.
Calling the plan "illegal," according to philly.com, Kane's announcement shocked many.
"[The announcement] may as well have been a declaration of political war," said the article on philly.com.
Despite political reprecussions, Kane stood by her statement.
"It is our duty to defend and protect the Constitution of our Commonwealth and that is what our office has done by declining this contract," said Kane, reading a statement to reporters at her office, according to StandardSpeaker.com.
"She said the contract infringes on the Legislature's power to make policy decisions regarding the Lottery, provides for keno games which aren't authorized under the lottery act and usurps authority of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board," said the website.
Corbett's camp was not happy with the decision.
"We are disappointed with Attorney General Kane's decision to reject the private management contract," spokesman David LaTorre said on behalf of Camelot Global Services PA, according to TribLive.com. "We guarantee our proposal will produce unprecedented profits for senior programs, and we have backed our investment in Pennsylvania with $200 million."
According to TribLive, the governor will still have an opportunity to appeal the rejection from Kane.
"Corbett is able to appeal to Commonwealth Court under the law," said Duquesne University Law School professor Bruce Ledewitz to TribLive. "Time is of the essence for Corbett, but this will not be quick," Ledewitz said.
State Sen. Vincent Hughes (D-Philadelphia/Montgomery) who serves as Democratic Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee said that Kane took the correct course in refusing to approve the Private Management Agreement (PMA) in a Friday release sent to the press.
"We do not need a foreign-based company managing the operations of the Lottery when we have Pennsylvania residents with the ability to produce more dollars to bolster senior programs," Hughes said.
Sen. Anthony Williams (D-Philadelphia/Delaware) agreed.
"We can do a better job and do it in an open process involving the current Lottery personnel," Williams, Senate Democratic Whip, said. "The Attorney General was clear that the General Assembly needs to be involved and that arbitrary action cannot be taken by the administration. There is no reason why we cannot open the process and allow the Lottery to suggest ways it can generate even more profits."

RHINELANDER, WI (WTAQ) - A former bookkeeper in northern Wisconsin will spend two years in prison for stealing $660,000 from her parents' recreational lake equipment business.
46-year-old Lisa Saykally took the money from Aqualand Manufacturing of Woodruff over several years.
Oneida County Circuit Judge Patrick O'Melia told her to repay $727,000, including tax-related penalties. She was ordered to get full-time employment, among other things, during a lengthy probation and extended supervision.
Saykally pleaded no contest to six embezzlement and tax fraud charges. Eleven similar counts were dropped in a plea deal.
At her sentencing hearing Thursday, prosecutors said Saykally destroyed her family's trust by using the stolen money for a lavish lifestyle. Her sister-in-law, Nadine Kuehneman, told the judge that the business nearly went under, and several people lost jobs due to Saykally's embezzlement.
Prosecutors wanted an eight-year prison term. The judge said Saykally needs some prison time -- but she also needs to be working so she can pay back what she stole.

TROY, N.Y. – Two girls were taken to the hospital Sunday night after one of them was struck by a car.
A group of four girls was crossing the street around 9 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of Hoosick Street and 10th Street when a car headed westbound on Hoosick Street failed to yield to the girls and hit one of them.
Troy Police said a teen was thrown onto the hood of the car and then rolled onto one of her friends. The 10- and 13-year-old girls received minor injuries and were taken to Albany Medical Center for precautionary measures.
The driver of the vehicle stopped after the accident and stayed at the scene. He was cited for failing to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk.
Police said speed and alcohol were not factors in the accident.

Comments about Rabbit Air BioGS Air Purifier (SPA-421A):
This product does exactly what it claims and we are very happy with it.
Comments about Rabbit Air BioGS Air Purifier (SPA-421A):
First of all, I'd like to say that the purifier was packaged beautifully. In the box was a "quick start" guide which made it very easy to get started. It was just a matter of removing the filters and taking the plastic bagging out and replacing the filters. All you need to do is turn this unit on.
It has a mind of it's own. It will adjust to whatever is going on in the house. If all is still and the dog and cats are not running around with the kids, the unit runs very low because dust and dander is not being tossed around. Once the activity level in the home picks up, so does this Rabbit.
I was also amazed how smart this unit is. I was making chicken cacciatore. I like to brown the chicken before adding the vegetables. When I was frying the chicken the unit kicked on high. It sensed that there was grease and food smell in the home. Absolutely amazing!! This rabbit comes with a cute little remote control. Actually, you need the remote control to adjust any settings on the purifier. The only control that is on the unit itself is the on/off button. This is not much of a problem because this unit is so smart, you rarely have to adjust anything because it does it on it's own as needed.
I think that when I am cleaning the house, dusting, vacuuming, etc. I will kick it up to turbo mode. The good thing about turbo, is that it will revert back to auto setting on it's own. I'd also like to mention that this unit is very nice looking. I don't feel the need to hide it in an inconspicuous spot. I have it smack in the middle of my living room. It is definitely not an eye sore. My son has been suffering from some sort of allergies that affect his breathing. I am hoping that this air purifier helps him. I've only had the unit one day, so I guess time will tell.
Comments about Rabbit Air BioGS Air Purifier (SPA-421A):
The unit has nice lines, for an appliance, and although the metallic blue looks more green to me, it's unobtrusive and easy on the eyes.
The display indicating the level of particles and odor detected is informative and kind of fun, but because I don't have a way to measure the air quality independently of the indicators, I don't know how well it really works. Subjectively, the air in the room feels fresher and cleaner; those of us in the house who have allergies are maybe doing better, but there are so many variables in any day that it's hard to say for sure.
It's unfortunate that some of the settings can only be controlled by using the remote, although there's a slot on the unit for storing the remote, so we probably won't lose it. The battery that comes with the remote is a starter battery, good for turning on the unit once or twice, in our case, so be prepared with the correct battery replacement if you can.
Comments about Rabbit Air BioGS Air Purifier (SPA-421A):
We looked at several products to ensure that it would meet our specifications for our cystic fibrosis grandchild and for our chronic sinusitis. This product picks up odors and dust in the air quickly and removes it without causing side effects. We are extremely happy with our purchase and have recommended it to others. The product has been put to the test with company around. It worked wonderfully well.
Comments about Rabbit Air BioGS Air Purifier (SPA-421A):
This a very good purifier. It is quiet that I forget that it is even on. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it didn't completely remove all the dust but it does greatly reduce it. Its really good on some odors but not so great with others. Overall this is a good product.
Comments about Rabbit Air BioGS Air Purifier (SPA-421A):
We love this product! As a family with both pets and allergies, we always have air cleaners. We have tried several different models over the years, and after much online research, decided to try this one. First of all, it is sleek and modern-looking. It is powerful, but lightweight and easy to move. There is a remote with several different modes, including a totally silent nighttime mode. However, even at highest speed, the cleaner makes only as much noise as our ceiling fan (i.e. very little).
We especially love the digital sensors on the display that show you the level of contamination of the air, both for chemicals/odors and particulates. It is fun to watch the levels change from bad to good once the cleaner has been running for a short while. You can clearly see the change the cleaner is making in the air quality by checking the sensors. When the HVAC kicks on, the particulate sensor moves from green (good) to yellow (mediocre), and then after running for a few more minutes, it goes back to green.
The cleaner is currently in a large master bedroom with cathedral ceilings, but is able to keep the air clean with no problem. We are so happy with this product that we plan to purchase another one.
Comments about Rabbit Air BioGS Air Purifier (SPA-421A):
We researched several air purifiers online before deciding on Rabbit Air. The Rabbit had everything we were looking for in a high quality air purifier. The quietness, brushless motor, 5 year warranty & effective for people suffering from allergies were very important to us.
We like the three filtration system, the ability to clean the pre filter & charcoal filter and the long life expected from the HEPA filter (1.5 to 3 years) were a big plus for us. Also the low power consumption (7 to 33 watts) was a feature we were looking for, we are trying to be as green as possible. My wife suffers from seasonal allergies and we were looking for a system that would provide her relief. This unit cleans the air and is so quite we do not even notice it running. The price was reasonable when we considered the features and compared it to other units.
On the auto feature the unit analyzes the air quality in your home and runs the unit at the proper level based on the air quality. You have the convenience of the unit advising you when it is time to clean and/or replace the filters, great feature. Also have a remote that allows you to control the unit from anyplace in the room.
This product is simple, quiet and easy to setup/use, works very well.. This is the second air purifier we have purchased from Sylvane and have received excellent service from them. We highly recommend the Rabbit Air purifier & Sylvane.
Comments about Rabbit Air BioGS Air Purifier (SPA-421A):
As an aviculturist who breeds a rare specie of small parrot, I know the importance of good health for their survival. Indoor air quality in my aviaries is top concern. I reviewed several brands of air purifiers and the Rabbit Air BioGS came up on the top of the list each time. If this unit can protect my birds delicate air sacks, imagine what it could do for humans!
I came to this site and ordering was fast and easy with free shipping. I received my unit in a couple days. It was packaged so well. I was extremely impressed with the appearance and design of this unit. Big enough to get the job done but small enough to fit in my aviary without taking up any valuable space. It's light weight and easy to move anywhere.
I found this unit operates so quietly and I love to watch the controls as it goes through it's functions, and it has a picture of a bird on the panel.
One of the main attractions to the Rabbit Air BioGS is the cost to operate it. You can wash some of the filters, and the replacement cost is very reasonable. These costs offset the initial price of the unit. Some brands cost a fortune to replace the HEPA filter alone.
I highly recommend the Rabbit Air purifier. There is nothing negative to say about this unit. I intend to buy another one from Sylvane for my other aviary and eventually one for my bedroom.

I was a shy child, which is hard to believe if you know me now, so when I saw the same trait in my daughter I starting working on fostering her independence immediately.
It wasn't easy, and it took time, but now at age six she is far from shy, and my work is done. Well, not really—not by a long shot. My mom was over the other day and gave my husband and me the gift of sleeping in and started helping the kids get their breakfast. I couldn't help but eavesdrop and wonder what in the world she would make for them. I heard lots of, "we can have chocolate for breakfast" and held my breath. Luckily, four children later my mom still recalls what a healthy weekend breakfast looks like for children and redirected them to eggs, toast and fruit.
But what came next surprised me. My mom had them get the ingredients from the refrigerator, butter their toast and pour their orange juice. Maybe it's because I am not a morning person or maybe it is because I am inpatient, but when it comes to the morning routine I would rather just do it all myself and be done with it. But that isn't what my kids need and that isn't the best way to teach them anything. I came downstairs (much later, though—Mom had things under control and I don't get to sleep in often) and thanked my mom for the obvious but also for showing me that I needed to allow my kids to be independent more and not stop at what I had already done.
So what had I done? For starters, I took a cue from my father, who was outstanding at fostering independence and really encouraged me to do things for myself. I think part of it was the worry that with three older brothers I might not have to fend for myself much. My dad never missed a moment to encourage me to do whatever I was asking of him by myself. Getting a hot dog at my brother's baseball game on my own, going to the neighbors' for some milk by myself, calling someone on the phone instead of having him do it or introducing a friend's parent are all things, little things, that helped me gained the confidence needed to be independent.
Something else I did with my kids that helped encourage independence and confidence was asking their opinion: What would you like to wear to school tomorrow? Should we have broccoli or asparagus for tonight's vegetable? What books are we reading after bath? These are some of the easy questions you can ask your children. I don't love taking my kids food shopping with me, but that is a great way to not only encourage their thoughts but also get them interested in what they eat. I'll have my daughter pick out the vegetables and my son the entrée and they really love that. I always ask them how I look when I go out and even show them my outfit choices. This is also a great way to distract them from the notion of being without Mom and Dad for the night. The key is not to allow them too many choices. It's A or B and never C, D or F. Too many choices can overwhelm and lead to a meltdown.
We happen to have wonderful neighbors, and our side door is directly across from their side door, so after a few ground rules about racing out the door into the driveway I allow them to go over and ask for play dates and drop notes into their mail slot. I also started telling my older child what time I would like her back home in hopes that she will respect the request, remember to check the time and maybe even start to learn to tell time. The first time I did that it didn't work out so well, but it was a teaching moment.
It's little things, really, but they all seem to add up to happy, confident, independent children. It's not doing things for them even though it is easier if you to do. It's allowing them to make mistakes and it's testing the waters to see if they are ready for a new challenge.
I thought when my daughter was no longer shy that my job was done, but I was wrong. As a parent, your job is never done. I see my mom giving advice to her 50-something-year-old son and worrying about us just as she did when we were little. But what she doesn't have to do anymore is worry about our independence, because that all four of us have down in spades. She put the time in, and we all got something out of it.
So the next time your child asks you to do something for them, see if it is an opportunity to have them do it themselves and gain some self confidence and independence from it. They will thank you for it some day.

Hierarchical model of masters and servants has been discredited long ago.
Nice switcheroo. Organizing people hierarchically is not a discredited notion. Having masters and servents is. In real life,we play pre-defined roles in larger groups and even dress differently depending on what our role is. That's how civilization functions. Your boss doesn't legally own you, and have full control over your person 24/7.
We can have creativity, expression, and mutal respect within hiearchies, and often with them we can rise or fall within organizing structure.

Candidate Indistinguishability Obfuscation and Functional Encryption for all circuits
Sanjam Garg and Craig Gentry and Shai Halevi and Mariana Raykova and Amit Sahai and Brent Waters
Abstract: In this work, we study indistinguishability obfuscation and functional encryption for general circuits:
Indistinguishability obfuscation requires that given any two equivalent circuits C_0 and C_1 of similar size, the obfuscations of C_0 and C_1 should be computationally indistinguishable.
In functional encryption, ciphertexts encrypt inputs x and keys are issued for circuits C. Using the key SK_C to decrypt a ciphertext CT_x = Enc(x), yields the value C(x) but does not reveal anything else about x. Furthermore, no collusion of secret key holders should be able to learn anything more than the union of what they can each learn individually.
We give constructions for indistinguishability obfuscation and functional encryption that supports all polynomial-size circuits. We accomplish this goal in three steps:
- We describe a candidate construction for indistinguishability obfuscation for NC1 circuits. The security of this construction is based on a new algebraic hardness assumption. The candidate and assumption use a simplified variant of multilinear maps, which we call Multilinear Jigsaw Puzzles.
- We show how to use indistinguishability obfuscation for NC1 together with Fully Homomorphic Encryption (with decryption in NC1) to achieve indistinguishability obfuscation for all circuits.
- Finally, we show how to use indistinguishability obfuscation for circuits, public-key encryption, and non-interactive zero knowledge to achieve functional encryption for all circuits. The functional encryption scheme we construct also enjoys succinct ciphertexts, which enables several other applications.

Lee County is seeing a huge boom in it's hispanic population. It grew 170 percent between the years 2000 and 2010. If undocumented workers become documented, the number could grow even more as immigration reform takes center stage Monday.
As restaurant owner Maria Martinez waits for the dinner rush, she knows the hard work it took to get her eatery up and running.
"The United States give you a lot of opportunities. If you get it, you get it - you don't get it, you don't get it," Martinez said.
Martinez came to the U.S. from Mexico at 15. She's achieved her goal to become a U.S. Citizen and own her own business. She is one of 8000 business owners in Lee County that are Hispanic.
"I love this country you know this is my country now," Martinez said.
There are many others wanting this success. Today, lawmakers laid out plans for immigration reform. Jose Diaz with the Hispanic-American Citizens Council said it's needed.
"This is such a crucial and important topic that needs to really be dealt with with much care and consideration," Diaz said.
The council is bipartisan and educates Latinos on issues like education and politics. In Lee County, 18 percent of the population is Hispanic. But, that doesn't include those undocumented who could be potential business owners - potential taxpayers for the community.
"How many more people would be able to have work if the process was made easier? There could be people here that have trades or abilities or were doctors in other places that are possibly here washing dishes and are hiding and we don't even know about them," Diaz said.
The council is researching how many Hispanic people are living in Lee County, including undocumented immigrants.

(WASHINGTON) - The Department of Veterans Affairs has selected a site to serve as the location of a 21st century medical center in Louisville, Ky., replacing an existing 60-year-old facility.
Click here to read the Fact Sheet from the Veterans Administration.
"This new hospital will provide state-of-the-art health care for the Veterans of Louisville and the surrounding 35-county region," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. "At VA, we're committed to upgrading our facilities, programs and technologies to ensure our patients receive the best care anywhere."
The site for the new VA medical center is located in Jefferson County, adjacent to the Brownsboro Road and I-264 interchange. That location is close to the current Robley Rex VA Medical Center and the downtown University of Louisville Hospital.
The Midlands property is owned by Blue Equity.
"We're honored that the Midlands was chosen for the new VA Hospital .We think it's going to be good for the veterans, good for our economy, create jobs, and it will be a state of the art facility," said spokesperson Bob Gunnell.
Now that the site has been selected, VA will undertake master planning and design. The facility is expected to cost an estimated $883.2 million and open in 2018, but neighbors have concerns about the decision.
"Everything that has to do with the hospital: lights, sirens," Clara Small said.
"I've lived here more than 25 years and we've had the privilege and the luxury of having that as open farmland," David Chandler said.
Veterans, among others, expressed concern over the size of the 36-acre site. Wayne Pfeffer, Director of the VA Medical Center is shooting down the criticism about size.
"The estimation was 25 or more acres. New Orleans and Denver hospitals, which are being built, are in less footprint than this is. So. It should fit in very well," Pfeffer said.
The new medical center will have clinics specializing in primary care, surgery, and mental health and 110 inpatient beds. The new facility will also have a geriatric and extended care program, a home-based primary care program, and a substance abuse residential rehabilitation treatment program.
VA operates one of the nation's largest integrated health care systems in the country. With a health care budget of about $50 billion, VA expects to provide care to 6.3 million patients during 920,000 hospitalizations and nearly 90 million outpatient visits this year.
VA's health care network includes 152 major medical centers and more than 800 community-based outpatient clinics.
Last year, VA spent more than $1.9 billion on behalf of Kentucky's 331,000 Veterans. In addition to the Louisville facility, VA operates a two-campus medical center in Lexington, nearly two dozen community-based outpatient clinics across the state, Vet Centers in Louisville and Lexington, and seven national cemeteries.

U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement Thursday regarding the Department of Veterans Affairs' announcement on the location of the new Robley Rex VA Medical Center:
"Now that the Department of Veterans Affairs has finally selected a location for the Robley Rex VA Medical Center, work can begin on the new state-of-art facility, which will ensure that the men and women who so bravely served our country will receive the quality health care they deserve. The construction on the new VA hospital has been a top priority of mine, and I'm pleased the VA Secretary made the decision. Our veterans have waited long enough; it's time to get construction underway."

Is it possible to provide a healthy meal at Rs.5/- around 10 cents ?
Today we see lot of food wastage all around the world. At one end we see tons of food is wasted & at other we see millions of people sleep everyday without a good healthy meal. Can we bridge this huge gap ?
We are mass producing thousands of products to make them accessible to millions of people. why can't we do that in food sector , bring down the price & let it be available to needy hungry people all over the world ?

Apr 7 2013: I was just thinking..
One food that tends to meet a large portion of dietary requirements is brown rice
Perhaps this would add to the subject?
Seeing as the food can be easily contained for long periods of time, is light weight and can suit the climate of a number of countries local and within the most problematic areas with this issue (simple and quick transport).
I believe rice is also the most abundant food source already in countries such as India.
Its not quite food-distribution on a global scale, but it would immediately provide an easily affordable food source (atleast 2/3 of a healthy meal).
I eat it myself on a daily basis, almost solely with just a small few spoonfulls of flavouring, so its not a double standard as to what poorer people would be expected to eat either.
Apr 7 2013: Thanks for your inputs. Yes, rice is one of the main staple food as far as India is concerned. We consume rice daily. In many other parts of the world also rice is one of the main item of daily meal. But unfortunately the price of rice now a days have risen very sharply. Wheat also can be considered as not only it is available at half price of rice but also provides more strength. Wheat is also consumed on daily basis. If this is coupled with green leafy vegetables with the help of some good replicable technology at village level, I think nobody will sleep without a healthy meal.

Dustin Lynch won't head out on tour with Keith Urban until July, but the two have already been hanging out. In fact, the American Idol judge recently invited Dustin to the Idol set.
"It was kind of funny being in the audience," he says. "It's a lot smaller of a room than it looks like on TV…Most everybody in the room was screaming for him the whole time."
He also got to rub elbows with rapper Drake and Keith's fellow judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj . But it was Randy Jackson who made the biggest impression.
"The Dawg man! We had met, I can't even remember where we met awhile ago, and he remembered me. I guess he and Keith had been chatting about the tour and whatnot, so that was a pretty cool moment."
Dustin believes Keith's exposure on American Idol can only help the shows this summer.
"I think it's gonna bring a lot of people to our tour this year that have never been to a country show," he says. "Not only our show, but also give country music a chance, and I think that's kind of broadening our fan base as a whole, as a genre. So, it's nothing but good."
The Light the Fuse tour kicks off July 18 in Cincinnati, Ohio, with Dustin and Little Big Town opening for Keith.

Vampire Weekend is set to headline the Ryman for the second time on October 7. Their common love of punk rock and African music brought the band together during their college days at Columbia University. Vampire Weekend has had great success in the United States as well as the United Kingdom before their self-titled album was released in January of 2008. In 2007 they went on three full tours and their song "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" was ranked 67th on Rolling Stone's "100 Best Songs of the Year." The band recently released their third album in May of this year, "Modern Vampires of the City."

The top five semi-finalists on NBC's The Voice returned to the stage Monday night for another round of performances. Coaches Adam Levine , Blake Shelton , Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green sat in their chairs to dispense their opinions.
The night began with the five contestants teaming up for a performance of American Authors ' "Best Day of My Life."
Here's what happened afterward:
First up for Team Adam was James Wolpert , who was instantly saved by America's votes last Tuesday. Adam chose U2 's "With or Without You" because he felt it was a good match for James -- a rock song with the bravado James liked. Adam thought the performance was "incredible" and "beyond" what he thought James could do. Christina agreed it was a good song choice for James and was glad to hear him sing it. Blake noted that because James was last week's save, he needed a strong performance and he delivered. Blake said James might have "dug himself out of the hole."
Next up for Team Adam was Will Champlin . He was given fun. 's "Carry On" because Adam felt it would give him the chance "to do big things vocally." Adam pointed out that Will was smiling after the tune was over, a sign that he was happy with his performance -- a rare occurrence for Will. Cee Lo Green thought it was a wonderful song that was well-executed by Will. Blake thought Will let his heart finally open up predicted he would "go a long way in the competition."
Team Christina's last remaining artist, Jacquie Lee was given Sarah McLachlan 's "Angel." Christina explained that she wanted Jacquie to "take a more soulful perspective and be the voice that allows everyone to escape for a second." Backed by a choir holding candles, the 16-year-old drew a standing ovation from her coach, who said the performance blew her away and showed a lot of dynamics. Christina felt it was Jacquie's best performance so far. Cee Lo called the performance "amazing" and agreed she did a "great job."
Cole Vosbury took on "Shameless," the Billy Joel song Garth Brooks turned into a country hit. Like Joel, Cole started out the tune sitting behind a piano, eventually shoving the mic stand to the ground and walking to the front of the stage. Blake thought Cole did an "incredible job" and finally figured out who he was and what he wanted to do. Cee Lo agreed and commented that every song Cole performs, he's delivers like it's his own.
Team Adam's Tessanne Chin closed out the night with Simon and Garfunkel 's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," which left Adam speechless, something he didn't remember happening before. Adam said it was "the most "flawless and graceful performance" he'd ever heard on the show. Blake said it was hard to argue with anything Adam said, adding that he was "happy" for the singer.
Two artists will be eliminated on Tuesday night's results show, airing on NBC at 9 p.m. Eastern time.

Observations on three of the best teams in Class AAAA (two girls teams, one boys team):
Chantay Frost's voice is a normal voice.
Which is odd, since she's a basketball coach, and her team – the Colubmia girls – is well over halfway through its season.
By now, many coaches sound like Froggy from the Little Rascals, the price paid for trying to outyell gyms full of people and guide the actions of teen-agers.
Not Frost. Her team is 14-2, so calm would seem to be the normal state of affairs.
"You learn that over time, you put in the screaming and the effort and all that during practice," Frost said. "Push comes to shove, we sub you and we talk with you about correcting what you did wrong, then we get you back in there."
The Lady Eagles, gunning for their third state title in four years, seem to be learning without all the raised voices, and though they lost five seniors from last year's team, they had Miah Spencer and Shaundricka Mann back, and a lot of players who saw a lot of playing time in a lot of blowouts last year.
"I'm excited about what I see in them. It's about how fast they buy into the system," Frost said.
Funny the things you notice when you're experiencing new success. For South Effingham's girls, the people in the stands look different.
They're now wearing future opponents' school colors and taking notes.
"One of our news reporters asked Hannah (Anderson) how it feels to be the hunter instead of the hunted. That is how it feels now. We've got other teams coming to watch us, to scout us when they're going to play us coming up," said South Effingham coach Stacey Womack. "They weren't there before."
With good reason. The Lady Mustangs are 19-0, winning by an average of 25 points and they feature a dynamo of a point guard in Tianna Germain (22.5 points, 4.5 assists, 4.8 steals per game).
South Effingham is just a year removed from a 69-12 loss to Statesboro in the first meeting last season. The second time around, Statesboro won 57-54, and South Effingham completely turned things around this season with a 66-58 win.
Can they go undefeated? Well, it won't be easy. Five of their last six regular-season games are on the road, and five of the six are against teams that played them close. Those teams almost certainly will be scouting South Effingham.
How's this for pressure: New Columbia coach Kerry Sandifer replaced Dr. Phillip McCrary, who took over as the DeKalb County Schools athletics director. Sandifer applied for the job at McCrary's urging and moved to the Decatur school from Stone Mountain.
McCrary won five state championships in his last seven years as the Columbia coach, including the last three in a row.
"The pressure mainly is internal and I like it," said Sandifer. "Either you can embrace it or be afraid of it. I'm not afraid to go after it."
McCrary left Sandifer one of the best players in the state in guard Tahj Shamsid-Deen and Kiair Crouch, and the Eagles have benefitted from the transfer of Kyle Wallace from Miller Grove.
Sandifer, whose club is 17-1, points to a win over that Miller Grove club in a game between schools with a combined seven state titles in the last four years as one of two red-letter wins. The other was a double-overtime tournament game against Wenonah, Ala.
"It was a shootout and we ended up pulling it out, and I thought it showed a measure of the heart of these kids," said Sandifer.
