From Croatia:
My eight year old son, who has had type 1 diabetes for fours years, has always had an A1c of 8.5%. By day, his blood sugar is good, but during the night, he will often go over 10 mmol/L [180 mg/dl]. He was on Actrapid before meals with Lantus at night, but his endocrinologist suggested that we try the new Detemir insulin at night with NovoRapid before meals. He told us our son is going to be a part of study o about Detemir and gave us a lot of gifts (free lancets, blood test strips, a brand new glucose meter, kid's watch, etc).
I'm a little suspicious about this and about genetically derived insulins in general, because I read they can involve some bad consequences (unexpected hypoglycemia). What is your opinion about Detemir and all genetically derived insulin? Can Detemir involve some side effects after many years of use?
Detemir insulin has not yet been approved in the U.S. perhaps because Lantus (insulin glargine) (another substituted insulin) dominates the market. Detemir has been widely used without ill effects in Europe and Japan in a number of clinical trials. Its role is to provide an even basal insulin release throughout the 24 hours which can be combined with a very short acting insulin at mealtimes. This ideally is given just after the meal so that the dose can be adjusted for the premeal blood sugar and the number of 'carbs' consumed.
I think you could have your son participate in the trial without anxiety, but basically I don't think that it has any potential to offer better control than the insulins he is already using.
Additional comments from Dr. Stuart Brink:You are already using genetically created insulins so it is not likely that you need have great worries about Detemir compared to Lantus insulin. Both are similar, relatively long lasting insulins to provide basal/background insulin effect and coupled with very fast acting analog insulins like Humalog or NovoLog/Novorapid for meal time boluses. Sounds like you will join a study and you will get some free supplies for your participation. Detemir and Lantus insulin have minor differences in their effects but I would assume that this study will document this quite nicely. Any individual may do better with one or another type of insulin but this decision should be made based upon hemoglobin A1c levels, day to day glucose control, episodes and severity of hypoglycemia, etc. Since both these insulin are similar in their time action and effects, they w ill probably both show comparable results.
If you have any worries about either Lantus or Detemir insulin because they have not been used and available for long periods of time, you should, of course, discuss this with your diabetes care team. The fast acting analogs, lispro and aspart insulin, from Lilly and NovoNordisk, have been available for quite some time and seem to be very safe to use. NPH and Lente insulin also has been available for a long period of time and are both very safe. Once one knows that differences in time action, then any dose change of insulin can be counterbalanced and decisions made about whether the new insulins show benefit or now compared to previous insulins being used.
Additional comments from Dr. John Schulga:Your question regarding modified insulins is a good one. With regard to long-term problems with any of the newer insulins, the honest answer is, we do not know. However, the safety profile of these insulins is excellent. Lantus and Detemir are similar insulins, so your general question about long-term effects applies to both of them.
The Detemir study is a multicentre study in Europe involving many different centres across Europe. It will provide good information about how Detemir performs and whether it will have a profile which is better than NPH. I personally do not see it as a problem.

by John Zinkand
Featured Column: ImproviseCrossroads
Winter and the New Year are on the horizon and I am at the crossroads in life again. From what I have seen so far in my 30 plus years on this planet, life, and just about everything else, moves in cycles. Once things are started in motion, they make waves that spiral out and get larger in some manifestation or another for the rest of time. Whether those waves and cycles turn into something you planned for or not is a cosmic toss of the dice. Our scene has blossomed into a large, shape-shifting, breathing mass of creativity. The forces the Grateful Dead set in motion all those years ago with their "jamband ethos" has morphed and expanded into an incredibly diverse and beautiful music scene. I'm sure they didn't expect this scene to evolve from some acid tests in San Francisco back in the 60's, but time has a way of sorting things out on its own.
I started out in this whole crazy scene by catching some Dead shows back in 1988 and 1989 at the tender age of 15. I had no idea at the time that these shows would fuel my imagination and drive me to enjoy all kinds of great live music on a deeper level than I could even imagine back then. When I heard Phish for the first time when I was 15, I dismissed them as silly. But just a few short years later I was in college in New England enjoying intimate theater shows with my new favorite band Phish all throughout the early 90's. Of course, Phish exposed me to even more styles of music like jazz, funk, and bluegrass and they personally introduced me to such bands as the Aquarium Rescue Unit. Standing in front of small bar stages with my mouth agape trying to comprehend the power of Jimmy Herring, Oteil Burbridge, and Jeff Sipe as a young man in college in 1992 helped to further shape my boundaries of what constitutes music. And who would have thought that all these years later, as a 30 year old man, I would fly down to San Francisco to see Phil Lesh playing Grateful Dead music with none other than one of my old favorites, Jimmy Herring. Life can be strange.
Over the last year and a few months, I've floundered around and struggled with unemployment. It wasn't a pitiful experience by any rate; it was one of the best times in my life. I had enough money saved up and was getting good enough unemployment benefits that I was able to do many things, mostly involving live music, of course. Renting an RV and heading to High Sierra this past summer was one of the highest moments of my life. I also gave a good college try at making more money writing, and by all accounts, failed miserably. When I was really going strong and steady there for a few months with writing I was pulling down a phat $150 per month, which, if you are doing the math at home, is just not enough to live on. But it helped me re-establish the fact that I love to write about music no matter what. The music moves me so much that I need to express myself in regards to how it makes me feel and think. Don't tell Dean, but I would gladly contribute to this forum each month for free.
Over this last year off I also have done some self-evaluation. I decided that I was done smoking cigarettes and haven't had one in well over a year now. I also decided that my sedentary east coast life style that I had brought with me to Oregon had to go. I began working out and went on the Atkins diet and am now a much more svelte freak than my former self. Now, 51 pounds lighter and with boatloads more energy, I feel like I'm starting a new chapter in life. This summer I was able to do more hiking and backpacking than ever before, which is one of my biggest passions. The nature and wonder of the west coast is religious for me. I started a new job with a large global corporation, but I don't feel weird about it. I realize now that I need a job pretty badly, even if it is not purely writing about music. Music and the ability to romantically opine about it will always be a deep and meaningful part of my being. Feeding myself and paying for my house, however, is even more important. As I'm about to begin my 31st year in February, I have a new perspective. I'm more conscious of my health, my body, my mind, and the need to be doing something productive. Life is peaks and valleys, they say, but if there are no valleys the peaks become pretty darn mundane.
Musically, there are a few peaks in my life right now. They are called Umphrey's McGee and Garaj Mahal. Both these bands are really pushing the envelope and are on the verge of something bigger. I feel like the new decade I am about to embark upon will definitely involve these two bands heavily, along with the usual cast of jamband characters. I love music and will never stop enjoying it in a live setting until the day I die. But no bands are more enjoyable and thought provoking for me right now than Umphrey's McGee and Garaj Mahal. Both bands can funk and groove, but also have the ability to take the music and vibe into uncharted places. While Umphrey's seems like the tight-knitest of units, Garaj has been faltering now and again with egos clashing. While that is a shame, it is life. Art mirrors life and pain and arguments are a part of the deal. I hope Garaj Mahal can get past all of that for the love of music, though.
I'm sure there will be all sorts of twists and turns in the coming decade – surprises, loves, hates, friendships, joys, agonies, new people, new music. With the holidays upon us, I feel a sort of rebirth amidst all the darkness and harsh weather. The scene has blossomed like an overweight rose and now seems to be dipping under the sheer girth of itself. New cycles and waves are being set in motion and the enigma of what they may evolve into is a delicious mystery. As I start a new job, I realize it's a give and take. I hope my new favorite bands can make it down the path with me for a long time as I earn and save money to see them, but I also expect to meet many new musical friends along the way. The best thing about the upcoming cycle in my life is the not knowing exactly what it will entail…well, except for great live music.

VA Compensation and Pension examinations (C&P exams) for PTSD and other mental disorders lack adequate reliability and validity for several reasons, as I have discussed in previous posts.
Not providing C&P psychologists and psychiatrists enough time to conduct a thorough, evidence-based assessment of PTSD or other mental disorders is one of those reasons.
In FY2013 58% of new recipients of VA disability benefits for a mental disorder had PTSD.1 The VA C&P Examiner Clinician's Guide (2002) recommends four hours for an Initial PTSD C&P exam, and the VA Best Practice Manual for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Compensation and Pension Examinations (2002) recommends three to four hours.
But consider the following job announcement2 on USAJobs.gov for a C&P Psychologist:
The Compensation and Pension (C&P) Psychologist functions as the full-time mental health examiner for compensation and pension examinations. As such, the incumbent will perform all the duties necessary for high quality, timely completion of the mental health examinations assigned for initial, review, or increase C&P evaluations. It is expected that up to six examinations (i.e. face-to-face appointments with the patient) will be completed in a day, with the psychologist expected to review the Claims file, medical record, and associated background materials, perform the examination of the patient as requested by Newark Regional Office of Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), and complete documentation of the examination by dictation or by typing within 24 hours.
Six exams in one eight-hour day, presuming the psychologist has other duties and is allowed to take a couple of bathroom breaks, means about one hour per exam.
How can these C&P psychologists conduct a reliable and valid PTSD C&P exam in one-third to one-fourth of the time recommended in VA's own guidance?
Of course, they cannot do so. C&P psychologists and psychiatrists need adequate time to conduct quality PTSD evaluations, as a VA-requested study by the National Institute of Medicine pointed out eight years ago.3
Shall we work together to stop sacrificing quality to achieve greater productivity with C&P exams for posttraumatic stress disorder and other mental disorders? Do we not owe as much to Veterans and the American public?

Some of Montebello's municipal bonds have been downgraded to junk status, another blow to a city already teetering on the edge of insolvency.
The interim city administrator has predicted that the general fund will run out of cash if the city does not secure a loan by the end of September. The move by Moody's, a major credit rating agency, will make it more difficult for Montebello to get a loan, experts told city officials.
Moody's downgraded its rating of the city's 2000 series certificates of participation by two notches to Ba1, meaning that the general fund's long-term obligations are no longer viewed as investment grade. The Ba1 rating is the highest considered to be "junk" status.
The city's outlook as a bond issuer was downgraded from stable to negative, meaning Montebello may be at risk of a further downgrade.

Though the hatred remains between the Yankees and Red Sox, there are subtle changes from season to season with the blood rivals.
Now, the difference is anything but delicate. Tonight in a sold-out Yankee Stadium the Red Sox and Yankees play the first of four games while looking up at the Rays in the AL East standings.
Not only do the upstart Rays have a 31/2-game lead on the Red Sox and are 7½ games in front of the third-place Yankees, their 52-32 ledger is the best in baseball. Adding to the intrigue is that after the Red Sox check out of The Bronx Sunday night, the Rays enter for games Tuesday and Wednesday.
It's not entirely out of the question the Red Sox and Rays could combine to put the lifeless Yankees (45-40) to sleep before the All Star break.
"Normally, this division has been a two-team division for a long time. Now, we have Boston and Tampa Bay," said Johnny Damon, a member of each side of the fiercest rivalry in baseball. "And Baltimore and Toronto aren't too far behind, so were fighting with everybody right now. Every series we're in is huge now because it's not a two-team division."
Though many believe the Rays will hit a wall later in the season, the AL East could remain a two-team race between the Red Sox and Rays.
Not only are the Yankees trying to hang around with a patchwork pitching staff that had Sidney Ponson getting spanked last night by the Rangers at the Stadium. Fortunately or the Yankees, their bats, that produced seven runs in the previous four games (1-3), exploded in an 18-7 victory that halted a three-game slide.
So, are the next six games critical?
"I think it's important, I don't think it's critical yet," said Mike Mussina, who opposes Justin Masterson Saturday. "It's July, it's the second half of the season. I would say it's important because they are the teams in front of us. If you lose games you are guaranteed to lose ground."
Darrell Rasner, who makes his rivalry debut tomorrow against Bosox ace Josh Beckett, hasn't been around long. Nevertheless, Rasner said he understands being 7½ games out of first place in the opening week of July isn't an ideal spot. "We need to start putting something together," said Rasner, 1-5 after winning his first three starts.
Can that begin with the Red Sox? They are without David Ortiz, but J.D. Drew has supplied the production in Ortiz's absence. "We have to play good baseball against the Red Sox and not worry about who we are chasing," said Jason Giambi, who hit a grand slam and had a two-run double in last night's hitting orgy.
Nevertheless, the offense needs strong production for more than one night. "It would have been tough going into this series having lost four in a row," said Damon, who three of the Yankees' 16 hits, scored three runs and drive in two. "Hopefully this lingers on for us."
The Yankees are 2-3 against the Red Sox this year, and Damon said the meetings have lost some intensity.
"It hasn't been the same since 2004," Damon said. "Now the Yankees are the ones trying to win the World Series, and it's been eight years."
By midnight Sunday the Yankees could be well on their way to nine if they can't handle a Red Sox team that arrives in The Bronx on a five-game losing streak.

Kenyan mask
This Kenyan mask is an ornate object that not only summons a spiritual undertone in its stoic, yet emotive gaze. What we try to evoke with this shadowbox is a geography, a geography that makes you feel the terrain. The straw fabric mat is perfect because it serves both as a complement to the color of the mask and as a backdrop that signifies the austerity of the face's expression, the sun, the sand and stone. The double rustic frames used to build the shadow box maintain the encasing, and the golden bead trim serves as an excellent accent, while seamlessly blending into the frame at the edges. Encased with Museum Glass to complete this special shadow box, this is one of our finest pieces.

Cathy Erway: My Kind Of Chef
Cathy Erway was featured on the FoodSpotting blog a few days ago. No, the FoodSpotting blog is not on my blogroll, not yet, although now I am thinking why not, but I must have pressed the like button enough times that the FoodSpotting Facebook page is often in my Facebook stream. So there was Cathy Erway.
FoodSpotting's Dish As Starting Point
Twitter ---> Instagram ---> FoodSpotting
I remember exchanging a tweet or two with her over a year back. I was amazed to find her. The eating in concept is revolutionary, if you think about it.
I have said at this blog a few times that I harbor secret ambitions to become a great cook and a great dancer. I guess it is not that secret no more, but that's okay.
Let me explain. I have very individual definitions of what a great cook is, what a great dancer is.
For me dancing is about sweating. I am not thinking finesse. I am not thinking ballet. I just want some pumping, workout music. What would make it great is if I am in such great shape that along the way I get to improvise a little, try out some new moves.
And so being a great dancer is about being in good shape. It is about working out. No music. I am talking squats and push ups, and other freehand goodies. If you think you are doing all that for the dance floor, working out is way more fun. It is an elevated experience.
There you go. Did I just play a trick on your mind?
Something similar goes to cooking.
More Sam Walton Than Bill Gates
The First Walmart Store
How Wal-Mart Got Started
Who Hired You?
What would super healthy eating feel like? I think a lot of it would be eating in. To me it is also about keeping the costs down. Sam Walton is one of my heroes, as is Michael Dell, as are the dollar pizza people in the city. And it is about discipline. Can you cut the costs down? And I happen to think much of cooking should not take too much time. The grinder is your friend. You can spill out some pretty healthy stuff pretty quickly out of that simple machine.
And before I came across Cathy Erway I was thinking I am going to have to pioneer the concept. And I am so glad I came across her. Because I really don't hope to shine with food. I am not that gifted. But I do want to indulge. I do want to get involved.
I have a few ideas. I have some thoughts. I have some inklings of some dishes that would be healthy and quick to whip out. A lot of that obviously is to do with fruits and vegetables. Salads are good stuff. Some are to do with mixing things up in the grinder.
I have thought in terms of becoming a pescatarian, dumplings are a big reason I could not go for it. And being a great cook for me would mean getting frozen dumplings from elsewhere and simply steaming them at home. That is still a good 20 minute run. People who sell them sell them for cheaper than it would take for me to buy just the ingredients. Making dumplings is an art form: I think I am going to stick to dancing.
And there is curry. My face gives it away. I am Indian. But lassi comes before curry.
Having Mango Lassi: Do Not Disturb
Having Mango Lassi
Lassi is easier to make too. It is healthier.
Curry is easy to make. And I can make once and eat a little at a time for days. Curry often comes with rice. Rice is even easier to make. You don't make it. It makes itself.
But once you have the healthy stuff in, once you have the easy stuff in, once you have the ethnic stuff in - the dumplings, the curry - then the fun part begins. You actually do the recipe thing. You cook. You go look for ingredients, and you get a little fancy. You try out new things. You branch out, you reach out.
And maybe Cathy Erway can help. I am so glad I will not have to invent the wheel.
Who wants to teach me dancing?

Venezuela's Chavez, challenger tied in polls
Caracas, Venezuela --
The battle for Venezuela's presidency is focused on undecided voters like Beatriz Damas, a 42-year-old porter at a Caracas apartment building.
Damas, a mother of four who twice voted for President Hugo Chavez, says she is angry about crime and the high cost of living, yet skeptical that opposition candidate Henrique Capriles will care about the poor if he wins the Sunday election.
"The country is slipping out of the president's hands," Damas said of Chavez during a Sept. 27 interview in central Caracas. As for Capriles, she said the 40-year-old former governor of Miranda state "doesn't know what it is to be poor. He's never wanted for anything."
Capriles, whose family founded the local unit of Nabisco Inc. and owns the country's biggest movie theater chain, is looking to unseat Chavez after 13 years in office by wooing Venezuelans fed up with power cuts, crumbling infrastructure and 18 percent inflation. Capriles has visited more than 260 communities over eight months promising not to eradicate social programs popular with the poor.
Chavez has sought to exploit Capriles' upbringing, regularly referring to the Caracas-born lawyer as a member of Venezuela's "bourgeoisie." He's also stoked concern Capriles will implement austerity measures similar to those that sparked riots in Caracas in 1989 over transport costs and gasoline-price increases that left hundreds dead.
"He's a little rich boy dressed up as a poor kid from the barrio," Chavez said Sept. 10 in comments on state television.
Chavez won presidential elections in 1998, 2000 and 2006 with a margin of at least 16 percentage points. While Capriles has said the country's electronic voting system is fair, he's criticized Chavez's use of government institutions and state funds backed by oil revenue in the campaign. Some polls show Capriles gaining ground on the 58-year-old Chavez, even among the poor who have until now tended to side with the incumbent because of programs that include subsidized supermarkets and health clinics.
In a Sept. 7-18 survey of 1,500 people by Caracas-based Consultores 21, the two candidates were in a statistical tie, with Capriles supported by 46.5 percent and Chavez by 45.7 percent.

A 24-year-old domestic worker, who was arrested for allegedly stealing his boss' 40,000 Pounds in Lagos, has blamed his action on his desire to assist his family.
Arrested alongside the suspect, Ugbem Samuel, younger brother of Ugbem Monday. The prime suspect reportedly invited his younger brother to his boss' house immediately the latter returned from a trip outside the country.
Narrating how he stole the money, Samuel, who was paraded alongside 25 other robbery suspects, who were arrested within one week in Lagos, said: "When my boss came back with a lot of money from his trip, I invited my younger brother over, with the intention of stealing some of the money and handing it over to him to take to our parents, who are suffering. "I gave him 40,000 Pounds, which he kept with my brother-in-law to keep for us until we are ready to use it."
However, when his boss, identified simply as Ajayi, discovered that his money was missing, he enquired from Samuel, who denied culpability. Samuel said: "But my boss' brother came and begged me to say the truth that part of the money would be given to me. Because stealing is not in my blood, I opened up to him that I was the one that took the money with the help of my brother. I also told him where the money was."
When policemen arrived his in-law's home in Ikorodu, he was discovered to have bolted with the money.

The wide adoption of cell phones has undeniably changed the way we communicate with one another forever. Your old high school friends and relatives that live halfway across the country are only a few dial tones away at any given time. But with the invention of the cell phone came other changes. One of said changes, undoubtedly aided by our increasingly busy and on-the-go lives, is our concept of time.
More specifically, our perception of another's "response time" to a text message or email has drastically changed over the past few years. Knowing that most of your friends have a smartphone and are at least proficient enough to check their email and Facebook, or send a few text messages has apparently dwindled our patience for a response to next to nothing. Many of us, including myself from time to time, are guilty of toe-tapping and checking our watch, waiting on a timely reply from the recipient of the text.
The obvious solution to our growing problems with impatience is simply to call someone if you need a quick response. Texting usually leads to things being lost in translation, slashing of important details and (at best) a minute or so latency between responses.
Personally, I have always been a fairly patient person – that is, as long as you don't consider how antsy I get prior to the launch of a new video game (ahem, Modern Warfare 3, anyone?) or phone ... or tablet. I understand that people get busy and do not compulsively check their phone every two minutes like I do. However, calling is not always an option (and something I seriously hate to do, unless absolutely necessary), and certain situations force me to be impatient. That said, I usually try to keep it to myself and wait as long as possible (usually no less than half an hour) before sending a second message.
But some of my friends and family, however, are not so ... understanding.
Maybe it's because I'm the "guru" of the bunch. If anyone needs help with anything tech-related, I'm their go-to guy. They know if I don't initially know the answer to their question or problem, I will find it and I will fix whatever they need. And I think this, paired with the fact that I am some sort of a professional tech nut (which they can neither define nor understand completely), likely makes them a little more impatient with me. They do expect me to answer immediately. Every time. And the one time I'm not sitting by my phone, ready to fire back an instant response, I get bombarded with text messages, missed calls and dreaded voicemail notifications.
The truth is, however, that this was going on long before I got into this business. It actually started right after I began text messaging, which was back in 2006, I believe. But it has gotten noticeably worse with time.
Why, you ask? Instant messaging is my best guess.
Things like delivered and read receipts in software like BBM, LiveProfile and iMessage let you know the status of the message you sent. And a notifier that lets you know a person is typing a response is largely a culprit for much of my messaging impatience. If I see a read indicator on a sent message and don't see the "typing" indicator immediately after, my mind starts racing. What are they doing? Are they going to respond? Do I need to send another message? Should I call? You know the drill ...
Generally, I would just chalk this up to being a self-control issue and something I personally need to work on. But I'm seeing it more and more in my friends and family as more of them graduate from flip and feature phones to smartphones.
This is why I would prefer to see some form of instant messaging supersede carrier text messaging. The only benefit of carrier texting is the universality of it; you can sent a text message to someone with a feature phone, a smartphone, on a different carrier or even in a different country. There is no single instant messaging service available that offers such a wide array of options – all of your friends have to be using the same service in order to scrap carrier messaging altogether, which isn't likely to happen in the foreseeable future.
But more universal adoption of instant messaging would allow you to set a status message, letting impatient texters know when you're available and when you're away, when they should call or when they should just wait it out.
What say you, ladies and gents? Has text and instant messaging and our always-connected status made you impatient when it comes to friends replying to you? Do you friends freak out when you don't reply immediately to their texts? Feel free to vent and share your stories below!

Bushnell Pro X7 Jolt Slope Rangefinder
The Bushnell rangefinder golf product is one to behold, and if you are looking for one of the best, all singing, all dancing products around, this is certainly one you need to be looking at!
You will find many Bushnell golf rangefinder reviews on the Internet, but to make things simple, and give you all the information you need, check out our review of the Bushnell Pro X7 Jolt Slope Rangefinder.
What's great about the Bushnell Pro X7 Golf Rangefinder?
This Bushnell golf laser rangefinder is certainly impressive, and when you check out its features and added extras, there is a lot to take in! The Bushnell Pro X7 is certainly not the cheapest product on the market, this project is for experienced golfers, and those who are truly focused on improving their game. With the Busnell Pro X7, you are getting five star quality, and any review out there will tell you the same.
There are countless technology additions to take into account, including famous JOLT technology, which gives you reassurance that your target is locked down for accuracy, as well as a truly impressive range, from 550 plus yards to flags.
- JOLT technology which transmits tiny vibrations to let you know your target is within optimum range, and has locked its sights onto the flag
- Slope technology which gives you information on the compensated distance at hand, taking into account several different factors, including incline
- Magnification x7, for top quality viewing
- Waterproof, so can be used in a range of different weather conditions
- Limited two year warranty
- From 5 yards up to 1 mile in its entirety. If you want a rangefinder 1000 yards capacity, this is for you!
- 550+ yard range to flags
- Half a yard accuracy from 5-125 yards distance
Ease of Use
Despite its many extras, this isn't a hard rangefinder to use, which makes it the best Bushnell golf rangefinder around. The top rated golf rangefinders have many different factors to take into account, and if you are a keen golfer, someone who takes their sport seriously, then the sheer amount of functions of this piece of equipment will come in very useful. Of course, it's going to take some practice to use it, because there are many different settings to get into place before setting your shot up, and because of this the weight is slightly more than some of the simpler rangefinders out there. It really depends on what you want – extras and slightly more weight, or a simple piece of equipment which is lighter.
The JOLT technology makes your shot simple, because it sets off tiny vibrations to let you know that it has locked onto the flag, allowing you to line up your shot to perfection. It is also totally waterproof and can be used in many different lighting conditions.
- The size of the machine. Slightly more in the way of features means a slightly bigger piece of equipment, with slightly more weight.
- The price – this isn't the most expensive rangefinder on the market, but it is still a large amount of money to pay out.
Summary Review
This Bushnell golf rangefinder with slope technology is one of the best in the business, and constantly high reviews tell you why. The JOLT technology is a major seller, because you know for certain that you are locked right onto that flag, and you're highly unlikely to miss as a result. For increasing accuracy, and therefore improving your game, this is a must.
The slope technology on the other hand measures the distance in real time, taking into account other factors such as the incline or decline at large, or even the type of club used and the trajectory the ball is likely to take. The range is also very impressive, which means no matter how far away you are, you can be sure that you are going to hit the target.
You can see the Busnell Pro X7 in the video below.
You are easily able to use this equipment in any type of weather and low lighting conditions, which gives you a large scope for usage, and if you're paying that kind of money, this is probably the least you will expect! The best Bushnell equipment on the market comes at a cost, that's for sure, but when you're serious about your sport, paying a little extra isn't always an issue.
To make this balanced, we need to talk about another downside, and that's the weight and slightly bigger size compared to others on the market. Basically, if something does more, it's going to be slightly bigger on average, so it's really a case of weighing up this slight con against the major pros.
Not quite what you are looking for? Read our full buying guide to the best golf rangefinder here.

The deal with Iran to roll back its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief is a fourth quarter hail mary pass – an entertaining high-risk play, but with little chance of success.
With three years in power remaining, the Obama team is in a deep hole and needs to put some points on the board. Its putative foreign policy successes -- withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan -- have proven hollow. Iraq is gripped by political stagnation and a level of violence greater than at any time since the height of the sectarian violence of 2007. Afghanistan's government refuses to sign a deal that will allow U.S. forces to remain in an advisory capacity beyond 2014, paving the way for a resurgent Taliban to make a devastating comeback.
Russia has outflanked us in Syria: Putin's support, ably abetted by the regime in Iran, is the principal reason that Bashar Assad remains in power. America's relations with Israel are arguably at their lowest point since the founding of the Jewish state in 1947. We have alienated our staunchest Arab allies -- Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain -- and they are taking unprecedented steps to distance themselves from the United States, their erstwhile strategic partner of choice.
Which is why the Obama administration is investing so much political capital in its quixotic pursuit of a grand bargain with Iran. A comprehensive agreement would represent a real game-changer for the United States and the region. It would save us from having to take military action to roll back their nuclear program -- a very real option and one that most reasonable analysts assess would prove tragically costly to our long-term interests.
The global sanctions regime that we have so skillfully put in place over the past decade will be increasingly difficult to sustain over the long term. It's a far better bet to leverage our present advantage and cut a good deal now, rather than to lead a doomed effort to prevent a gradual disintegration of the stranglehold we currently enjoy over Iran's economy. One of the principal reasons the U.S. took military action against Saddam Hussein in 2003 was because we were convinced that he was on the verge of breaking out of the sanctions box we had put him in.
This diplomacy is, unfortunately, based more on wishful thinking than hard reality. Iran is not acting in good faith. It has no intention of giving up its nuclear weapons program. Possessing a nuclear weapons capability is an issue of national pride and one which the Iranian public strongly supports. The Middle East is a dangerous neighborhood: Iran has no shortage of enemies and Iranians believe a credible nuclear deterrent is vital to national survival. Although the clerical regime led by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Kahmenei is increasingly unpopular -- as evidenced by the government's continuing ruthless suppression of internal dissent -- dismantling Iran's nuclear weapons program would be a death blow to its legitimacy as the defender of Persian exceptionalism. It is a step Iran's rulers cannot and will not take.
And make no mistake: despite his Twitter-savvy charm, President Rouhani is not a revolutionary intent on undermining legitimacy of the Iran's ruling religious elite. In fact, as an Ayatollah, he is a member of that exclusive club and his survival is inextricably tied to theirs.
So where does that leave us? America is right to put Iran's stated intention to disarm to the test. Paradoxically, providing the regime an opportunity to fail is the surest way to undermine it.
Let the world see that despite its seductive charm offensive, Iran's fundamental interests have not changed and a resolute, unified stance by the international community is our best protection. As the administration's former deputy national security adviser recently wrote, ". . . if diplomacy fails, the United States will be far more credible in reinforcing sanctions or using force -- or both -- if it puts a proposal on the table that the rest of the international community will find serious and plausible."
Adam Ereli is a former deputy spokesman of the State Department. He was U.S. Ambassador to Bahrain from 2007-2011.

Moving to L.A. from Denver in January 2016 was a huge step for me. I'd been in Colorado since 1995. I met my now ex-husband in Colorado in 2005, got married, had children, etc. Well… that marriage failed. So, I find myself in the dating scene – AGAIN.
Dating as a middle-aged woman in this social media driven society after being with the same man for a decade proved to be something difficult. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. In my younger days, men talked to ME, they approached ME, they pursued ME. Men don't do that anymore.
How did I overcome this? I reached out to some of my single friends and asked them how they meet people. They turned me on to internet dating.
Oh, internet dating… I never thought I'd subject myself to doing this. I always thought that I'd have no problem dating. I'm decent looking, I'm adventurous, and I can hold a pretty intellectual conversation. But, behold, here I was!
This blog is a comedic twist of my misadventures of dating in a new city. There will be much laughter, a little bit of sex, and no tears. Some stories you will relate to, some you will think are too crazy to make up.
Feel free to send in your stories to be featured, ask me questions, even comment. But never, I repeat, NEVER, complain to me about what I write!

U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann and his Republican challengers are staging high-dollar fundraisers to fatten their campaign bank accounts before the year's first financial quarter concludes on March 31.
On Tuesday, atop Chattanooga's Bank of America building, candidate Scottie Mayfield will host his first major fundraiser at the Walden Club, where the "suggested minimum contribution" is $1,000, according to an invitation.
The dairy executive's host committee reads like a Who's Who of Chattanooga clout - Brocks, Davenports, Luptons and Pattens are on the list.
"Some of them know me fairly well, some not so well," Mayfield said. "Not only are these people lending their names and their money, they're actively calling people and encouraging them to come out and get to know me."
On Thursday, Fleischmann will headline a 30-minute $2,500-per-couple "host reception," followed by a $500-per-couple general reception at a supporter's Chattanooga home. The campaign has invited about 80 donors, but some already have given a $2,500 maximum primary campaign contribution to the freshman congressman.
"When someone maxes out, many times these people are on my fundraising team, and they want to be part of - and are welcomed to - all of our events," Fleischmann said. "But we're getting calls every day from new people wanting to participate."
Finally, on March 26, the day he turns 25 and legally becomes eligible for Congress, Weston Wamp will throw himself a downtown Chattanooga birthday party-fundraiser, where country singer-songwriter John Rich will perform.
Wamp said he wants to raise money, but he had young people in mind when he dropped the zeroes and decided on $25 for a "suggested donation." Students can attend the event free.
"We're having a political event that's going to be a lot more fun than what any of my opponents will be able to have," said Wamp, the son of former U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp. "If people come, hear me out and spend a little time with us, I think they'll agree that my campaign is new, different and fresh."
A pre-concert meet-and-greet with Rich costs $250 per person and $500 per couple, according to an event invitation posted on Wamp's campaign Facebook page.
Rich, half of country duo Big & Rich and formerly of the country group Lonestar, participated in Zach Wamp's 2010 gubernatorial campaign, appearing in political advertisements and performing at a rally.
Aides on all sides have said it could take $1 million just to win the GOP primary in Tennessee's 3rd Congressional District, and the upcoming fundraisers suggest each man craves financial momentum as the donor pool shrinks.
Records show at least 20 people have donated $500 or more to Fleischmann and Weston Wamp at some point, and several of those donors said they'll contribute to Mayfield, too.
"Chuck does a great job, Weston could do a great job, and yes, I will support Scottie Mayfield," said DeWayne McCamish, a Signal Mountain orthodontist and undecided Republican donor who has given $2,500 to Wamp and $1,500 to Fleischmann since 2010.
"It takes money to run a political campaign," McCamish said. "I think it's almost a responsibility to share part of that financial burden."
Jim Berry, president of Republic Parking, already has given $5,000 to Fleischmann and $2,500 to Wamp, but said he plans on putting his full weight behind Mayfield.
POLL: Which candidate do you support for the 3rd Congressional District?
"Scottie has a very good chance of winning," Berry said. "I like to say I don't like to support a loser."
Campaign finance records show the 20 duplicate donors have given a combined $41,600 to Fleischmann since he entered the 2010 GOP primary. The same group has donated $40,000 to Weston Wamp since he announced his candidacy in October.
Fourteen of the 20 contributed to Zach Wamp's congressional campaigns, gubernatorial campaign or both.
Mayfield entered the race in early February, so he has not yet filed a financial disclosure.
According to the latest figures, current as of Dec. 31, Fleischmann led campaign funds with $617,000 on hand, and Wamp had $285,000 in the bank.
"I see myself competitive with [Fleischmann] as far as my skill set and my experience," Mayfield said. "Moneywise, I think he has an advantage."
Mayfield's first financial disclosure and updated totals for Fleischmann and Wamp won't become public until mid-April.
Ron Bhalla and Jean-Howard also are Republicans in the 3rd District race.
Mary Headrick and Bill Taylor, who will host a $25-per-person fundraiser at Shooter's Depot on March 31, are fighting for the Democratic nomination.
The primary is Aug. 2.

Cassette tapes can hardly be many people's favoured way of listening to music. They lack the beautiful artistic form of the vinyl 12" or even 7". Tapes stretch, break, tangle and generally prove themselves unreliable to play back any music as it deserves to be heard (I'm avoiding the vinyl versus CD debate at present though I recognise that the digital form does 'squash' the breadth of analogue sound).
Anyway, for all their faults the cassette holds many fond memories for people like me. And part of that is tied up with the concept of the compilation tape.
Peans to the compilation tape are many and varied. In 'Mix Tape: The Art of Cassette Culture' Thurston Moore, of Sonic Youth fame, collated a variety of recollections from those who taped and/or created tapes -- whether compilations for love and friendship or from radio recordings or live gigs. Meanwhile, Rob Sheffield produced the utterly heartbreaking 'Love is a Mix Tape', a memoir about his wife Renee told through their various mixtapes.
Anyone who is between a certain age (currently [2009] between their early 30s and their 50s) is likely to have made or had cassettes of some form or another during their life. For their sake, I will be recording the cassette tapes I continue to own and love whatever their origins.
NOTE: when the urge to clear has hit us hard, cassette tapes have been amongst the objects I have felt least able to argue a case for keeping. So apologies to the original Cherry Red collections that the NME gave away. Cloud did own you but you had long since ceased to be playable and you hit the dust.

Dear Miss Manners--With disturbing frequency I will be asked by another woman during a social occasion, ``What do you do?``
I reply that I work at home, taking care of my family and the clerical duties and bookkeeping for my husband`s business. Nine times out of 10 the woman will say something like, ``Really? How interesting. I would love to be able to stay home,`` or ``That must be nice. My job as a computer programmer

Indian cuisine is one of my favourites.
It's a tricky one though, as apart from rustling up a quick jalfrezi with some peppers, chicken and paste from a jar (my spice cupboard is not as extensive as I would like it to be) it can be hard to know where is best to go for a good Indian meal.
An average takeaway is frankly not worth the tummy ache. A really good one gets incredibly expensive before you know it - once you've added the poppadoms you can be paying so much you may as well just get a Dominos topped with tikka sauce and onion bhaji.
Similarly, eating out in good Indian restaurants is often over my usual budget, so apart from celebrating a birthday or anniversary, it's not something I do as often as I would like to. So, when you find a really good, reasonably priced Indian restaurant, with authentic food that delivers it's money worth, it's like discovering a hidden gem, or a needle in a haystack.
Needless to say, coming across two in the West End in the past few weeks has left me feeling very lucky indeed. This review and the consecutive blog will hopefully explain why.
I have tried a few of the Indians around me. Masala Twist on Byres Road is excellent, but a little pricey. The Full Bhoona, irresistibly close to my flat, is sadly lacking.
If I want a good, reasonably priced takeaway I go to Queens Cross on Maryhill. The couple of times I have been, the curry has been surprisingly good for the cost, but it's just a tiny takeaway so it's more of a stop over after a few pints than somewhere to go for dinner.
The first of my new discoveries is one that is fairly new to Great Western Road, Cafe India Tapas. However, trying to do research (I always like to check menus and prices before I commit to eating out) proved difficult. The website didn't seem to correspond with the restaurant menu I expected and I couldn't find much on their Facebook page. So, turning to reviews I was told repeatedly that it was good quality food and good value for money, particularly because it is BYOB, which can bring down the cost by as much as ten pounds per person. One night when we fancied a spontaneous dinner out, Calum and I grabbed a four pack of Stella and headed along.
We were seated by a lovely waitress on the mezzanine level of the restaurant, and brought our menus, as well as a couple of glasses for our terribly classy drinks.
As the name suggests, the majority of the dishes are tapas style, although you can opt to choose just one as a single main if, like my brother, sharing food makes you violently uncomfortable. Never ones to miss out on trying as much food as humanly possible, we opted for the tapas.
We went for five dishes; the butter chicken, the chicken chillie garlic, channa daal, chicken karahi (punjabi style) and the chicken achari, plus a pilau rice each and a garlic naan to share.
Poppadoms came first, served with excellent spiced onions and shortly followed by the rest of the food. For tapas dishes there was a very reasonable portion of each dish.
None of our choices disappointed.
The channa daal was delicately spiced yet still hearty, Calum declared he could eat a whole bowl of it on it's own. The butter chicken wasn't just chicken in sweet cream, which is sometimes a risk with mild curries, but delicious. My favourites were probably the chicken chillie garlic and the chicken achari, which is cooked in chilli pickle. Both were quite spicy, with visible green chillies, but it wasn't a case of scorched tastebuds, the other flavours still came through for a balanced taste.
The garlic naan was delicious, the chicken tender and all of the food had been noticeably cooked to order. It had a wonderfully homey, authentic and humble air about it, as if you were sitting down and eating food with an Indian family. Without pretension, just a focus on good ingredients and incredible flavour.
The combination of curry and beer meant we could hardly speak to each other by the time we were finished. When offered the option of dessert, we both declined. However, our host told us that the chef had just made a dessert that was probably the best he had ever tasted. Still not convinced we could manage another bite, he was charmingly relentless and brought us some to share, on the house. I didn't quite get the name but I think they were Gulab Jamun, which are sweet Indian dumplings served in sugar syrup, sort of like exotic treacle sponge pudding. I have never tried them before, but they were incredible, served with lovely vanilla ice-cream and piping hot, they were definitely worth being so full we had to walk home at snail pace. I would even order them the next time I visit.
Now that I know just how good Cafe India Tapas is, and that the takeaway branch (situated right next to the restaurant) is within easy walking distance, I think it will probably become my go-to Indian restaurant. I will definitely be taking my family next time they come to visit, as it's a great space for large parties and the nature of the dishes makes it perfect for sharing with a big group, unfortunately for my brother.
I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants an authentic Indian that isn't quite as 'West End' pricey as Ashoka or Masala Twist. The staff are lovely and the service was impeccable, it really is worth a visit.
In my next blog, which will hopefully be following shortly I will write about my other newfound Indian favourite. Perhaps one with a more intimate vibe, but just as good in different ways. I've made myself hungry now, might need to get out the spice paste.

Inspired Project Delivery
The design of the Sulpizio Family Cardiovascular Center, a glass-wrapped jewel box created by RTKL, reflects the unusual nature of the facility itself. Located on the University of California San Diego's (UCSD) Medical Center Campus, the complex is the first in the area to combine cardiovascular research, education, and patient care. The building's 360-degree vistas of the La Jolla coastline, nearby canyons, and the Torrey Pines State Reserve are symbolic of the transparent, interconnected healthcare processes housed within its walls.
The 128,000-square-foot structure, located adjacent to Thornton Hospital on the La Jolla campus, combines everything from clinical diagnosis to treatment to the final stage of recovery. The center features 12 intensive care, 15 intermediate care, and 27 acute care rooms, as well as echocardiogram rooms, cardiac catheterization labs, an emergency department, cardiology operating rooms, and research facilities.
The design process itself provided an unusual roadmap that led to the success of the final result. It started in 2005, when the UCSD Medical Center first approached RTKL. The initial set of goals was ambitious: It needed to relieve pressing space limitations, consolidate outpatient and inpatient cardiovascular services, ensure capacity for a projected increase in demand for services, and prepare for more complex cases from a fast-growing over-65 population. As if that weren't enough, the facility also needed to maintain a financially sustainable payer mix.
Seven years later, with construction completed, those involved marvel not just at the project's ability to meet those goals with a cutting-edge design, but at the intensely collaborative process that allowed them to do so on time and under budget.
This unique approach—the success of which is all the more remarkable for having overcome unexpected obstacles, challenges, and shifting budgets—can only be described as "inspired project delivery."
High-performance team
Early on in the development process, it was apparent to the owner that an innovative approach would be necessary in order to fully realize the facility's delivery potential.
With the idea of bringing together a single group to formulate a complex plan, RTKL worked with UCSD to create a multidiscipline and collaborative team structure. An initial five-person board of directors was created to reach the goal of achieving the best value for the project. The board, which later expanded to 12, comprised leadership from the hospital, builder, architect, and engineering team.
The project's participants understood that in order to develop a superior facility, there was a need to first develop working relationships based on trust and open lines of communication. The goal was the same for everyone: to get the job done well, on time, and under budget. The original, or "core," team of five representatives comprised the original board of directors: UC San Diego (the owner), RTKL (the architect), DPR (the construction firm), KPFF (the structural engineer), and exp, formerly X-nth (MEP engineer).
Mission statements emphasized core values such as integrity, openness, enjoyment, progressiveness, and determination. A special emphasis was placed upon trust and open lines of communication, and while some board members were initially skeptical about joining such a team, strong relationships developed throughout the first year.
Monthly face-to-face, half-day meetings began. Cell phones were turned off. Required reading was doled out. Relationships were built and eventually trust took shape. Even as new members joined and others filtered out, everyone who participated in the project quickly bought into the core values and continued moving forward as a collective unit. The goal was to make the team feel like a small corporation, but by the time the entire seven-year process was completed, it felt more like members of a family who had learned to balance their lives in order to make the project better.
Together, they formed a high-performance team—later dubbed an inspired project delivery team—that, through the creation of founding principles and team-building sessions, took collaboration to an entirely new level. Along the way, the team learned to use the trust and collaboration they had attained to tackle major challenges.
Changing scope midstream
In 2005, a year after the project budget was established, two major problems surfaced:
- The demand for cardiovascular services at the existing Thornton Hospital increased significantly, so much, in fact, that the new project, as originally envisioned, would not meet current needs, much less allow for growth.
- An unprecedented 30% cost escalation in the California construction industry became a seemingly insurmountable problem.
With the project at a standstill, the team's commitment to "never settle" was put to the test.
RTKL helped UCSD prioritize capital and services, and examine all possible ways programs could be arrayed to generate needed revenue. With the board of directors' help, RTKL prepared and presented to the UCSD Board of Regents the valid business reasons for these decisions and the related financial needs. As a result, the project stayed alive by receiving two phases of additional funds, and it experienced only a minor slip from the original schedule.
As in any development of this size and scope, additional obstacles inevitably emerged and tested the group's resolve. Six months into construction with onsite work well underway, hospital leaders came to the team with a sudden, drastic change of plans: The fourth floor of the structure—originally designed to host offices—was now going to be repurposed for patients.
To achieve these considerable modifications in utilities (mechanically and otherwise) and to gain agency approval, the project schedule would need to expand by four t
o six months.
Clearing the regulatory hurdles
The board of directors immediately targeted clearing OSHPD (California's Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development) regulations as its largest hurdle. If not addressed properly, the governmental regulatory agency's requirements could stall the project for months. The team went directly to OSHPD in search of a collaborative approach to the changes underway at UCSD. They talked its representatives through all the necessary changes and sought their guidance on how best to achieve the desired goals and how to expedite the review process.
At the same time, MEP subcontractors Dynalectric and Umec, which had just joined the project board, were working alongside the design team to discover how to get all the mechanical necessities into the fourth floor, which wasn't built or sized to accommodate patient care. Both subcontractors conducted 3-D modeling while the design team worked on the pivotal OSHPD review—a 150-page change order—that the agency wound up reviewing in an astonishing 30 days with final approval coming in just three months.
Having brainstormed ahead of time any other potential roadblocks, in particular, possible holdups with the regulatory agency, the team took a page from its own book and focused on direct, specific communication with OSHPD, asking, "How can we help you?" and "How can you help us?" In turn, OSHPD gave the team input on what, how, and when to submit any particular item. The result was a project review process that only took 20 months, several months less than the normal minimum time for a project of this caliber.
LEED certification
The finished product is one of the first LEED-certified hospitals in California under the U.S. Green Building Council's latest green building rating system, LEED for Healthcare, which was launched April 8, 2011. It is on track to achieve LEED Gold status. Initially targeting a LEED Silver rating, the cardiovascular center's push for the next level is further proof that the board of directors was looking at how best to apply its resources to the project from every angle. As it turned out, reaching Gold status wound up costing much less than anticipated because many of the design/construction elements were already in place.
From the outset of the project, the team put an open-book policy on the table, searching every available outlet to gather the best ideas. Every idea was heard, from official board members on down to the hospital staff. When construction made it necessary to reroute a road in order to keep it open, one of the hospital's doctors suggested a pathway through a nearby parking lot—a perfect solution from an unlikely source.
In order for the team to remain dedicated to open communication, dynamic collaboration, and efficient results, there was absolutely no room for inflated egos—a characteristic often present among veteran architects, developers, owners, and others who oversee aspects of high-profile projects. However, for this project, the owner, consultants, contractors, and subcontractors remained dedicated to the team philosophy and focused on open communication. As a result, the team was able to target the best solutions quickly and then move forward.
Those who were part of the team that envisioned, designed, and constructed the Sulpizio Family Cardiovascular Center walked away from the project inspired to not only utilize and share this experience on their next project, but to implement the lessons they learned from it in their own daily lives.

Plan Testing & Validation
After-action Report/Review (AAR)
Communication is an essential component in the University's plan to handle a crisis situation. How the University communicates with the students, faculty, staff, parents, media and the general public can have a lasting impact on its reputation. An effective communications plan, coupled with the early involvement of communications professionals, will help limit possible negative impact of the crisis and allow those charged with mitigating the crisis to fulfill their responsibilities.
A crisis situation is any situation or event that has a major impact on the campus community and the broader public. Examples of a crisis situation may include fires, bomb threats, deaths or serious injuries, natural disasters, major crimes or major disruptions of campus operations, such as a campus-wide power or network outage or severe weather. Crisis situations may include police investigations, protests or other situations that require a public response.
This plan is not intended to change the way emergencies are initially reported. All emergencies on campus should be reported immediately to University Police.
The purpose of this plan is to establish and delineate the procedures and methods for disseminating accurate and timely information to the UK campus community, media and public during a crisis situation.
1. Assessment: People who become aware of a potential crisis or emergency must contact the Office of Public Relations and Marketing. The Executive Director or a designee, in conjunction with other campus authorities, will determine whether it is appropriate to invoke this plan and notify crisis communication team.
2. Crisis Communication Team: The Crisis Communication Team is comprised of UKPRM employees and others whose organizations may play a critical role in addressing the crisis. Members may be called into action during a crisis based on each individual situation.
Time is of the essence in communicating crucial information to the university community and the news media, and the team will be assembled as quickly as possible. Based on the timing, location and severity of the incident(s) or event(s), this may occur either in person or virtually. The Executive Director of Public Relations and Marketing will determine when a sufficient number of the team is engaged.
3. Information: As soon as possible after the incident, informational material will be prepared to supplement communication with key constituencies and information provided to reporters by the spokespersons. It will be approved by the Executive Director of Public Relations and Marketing and checked for accuracy by those with a direct knowledge of the crisis. Information released publicly or posted to the Internet will be updated as information changes.
4. Notifying Key Constituencies: The Crisis Communications Team will determine which groups need to be informed first. It is important to keep in mind that people will seek – and believe – other sources of information (e.g., news reports, rumors, word of mouth) in the absence of official communication. Effective communication will help quell rumors, maintain morale and ensure public safety.
Key constituencies include:
• Students • Faculty
• Staff • Parents of students
• Board of Trustees • Public officials—Governor, Mayor
• Alumni • Neighbors
• General Public • News Media
5. Alerting the media: UK Public Relations and Marketing shall decide the best way(s) of reaching the news media. In cases where a crisis is likely to be prolonged and/or especially complex, the Executive Director may choose to create a Joint Information Center and/or a news media briefing center to coordinate the information flow and assure that the appropriate people are involved in collecting and disseminating information. Consideration will be given to appropriate media staging locations that can accommodate vehicles such as satellite trucks. Communication with the media will occur as new information becomes known. Information from news briefings may be captured in audio and/or video and posted to the Internet, along with updated informational material. Effort will be made to monitor news coverage in key media and correct significant inaccuracies, either in those media themselves or in material distributed by the university. In general, the university will welcome reporters and allow them as much access as public safety and common sense permit. Public information officers will facilitate access to key knowledgeable individuals and respond quickly to as many requests as possible.
6. Phases of Response
Decision Criteria
Five criteria shall be considered to determine the type of communication response necessary:
Phases of response include the immediate phase which incorporates the time between when Public Relations officials learn of the crisis and the first communication about the crisis is made to the constituencies. The ongoing phase constitutes the time period following that first communication; this is when the crisis may be continuing or may have ended but new information is being learned and its communication is critical. The recovery period follows resolution of the crisis and its aftermath and involves reviewing the success of the crisis communications efforts.
- Immediate
- The Office of Public Relations and Marketing and the official spokesperson will determine if an official statement should be prepared and released. If warranted, Public Relations staff members will also develop answers to specific questions that may be asked by the media.
- The Public Relations staff will obtain basic information (type of crisis/emergency; time of emergency; actions taken; areas and number of people involved; injuries or fatalities; extent of damage; etc.) and prepare an official news release. Public Relations staff is authorized to obtain information from all emergency personnel to enable a timely and accurate flow of information.
- Determination of the means of communicating – i.e. broadcast email, UK Alert, news release/conference, website update, social media, etc.
- The Public Relations staff will verify all sources of information.
- The Public Relations staff will clear news releases with the chief university official and/or official spokesperson as quickly as possible before releasing to the media.
- To the extent possible, the Public Relations staff will log all media inquiries.
- In cases involving student injuries or deaths, families will be notified by appropriate personnel before the information is released to the public.
- Spokesperson will coordinate the release of factual information with local hospitals and other disaster agencies, providing as prompt, accurate and complete information as possible.
- Ongoing Period
Public Relations staff members will continue to monitor the unfolding nature of the emergency and collect information; will provide ongoing communication with public, media and other constituencies; will make determinations on and contact with possible experts to address questions about the circumstances of the crisis; will provide ongoing communication as new information is learned. The Office Public Relations and Marketing will issue media updates for as long as necessary, then scale back activities as warranted.
- Recovery Period
Upon resolution of the crisis situation, the Executive Director of Public Relations and Marketing will schedule a meeting of all key players to review all actions taken and lessons learned. These will be included in an after-action report (AAR) to be forwarded to the President and other appropriate university officials or departments. Changes to this Crisis Communication Plan may be made as a result of lessons learned.
This plan shall be updated and tested at least once a year. Full activation of the plan will be incorporated into the University's annual Emergency Operations Center disaster exercise. Responsibility for updating the Crisis Communications Plan rests with the Executive Director of Public Relations.
Following resolution of the crisis, the Executive Director of Public Relations and Marketing will convene the Crisis Communications Team for a review of lessons learned. The AAR may be used to provide summary information to a more comprehensive campus-wide AAR coordinated through the UK Office of Crisis Management and Preparedness.

This Week The 'Arch Of Baal' Was Displayed For The Third Time In Honor Of 'The World Government Summit'
Did you know that 4,000 world leaders from 130 different countries gathered in Dubai this week for the World Government Summit? It was held from February 12th to February 14th, and it featured more than 100 internationally-known speakers including UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, Christine Lagarde and Elon Musk. If you would like to know more about this shadowy group, you can visit the official website right here. The first World Government Summit was held back in 2013, and that one was actually attended by Barack Obama. Unfortunately the mainstream media in the United States was almost entirely silent about this summit, so most of us in the western world didn't even hear about it.
To honor the spirit of this summit, a reconstructed version of Palmyra's Arch Of Triumph (also known as the Monumental Arch) was erected in Dubai. Previously it had been put up in London and New York City for brief periods of time, and so this marked only the third time that it has been displayed. The following comes from Breaking Israel News…

Looking rather like veined, slightly hairy grapes, gooseberries have a fragrant, tart flavour. If very young, they can be eaten raw in small quantities, but are best cooked with a tablespoon or so of water and a little sugar to counteract the tartness.
Availability British gooseberries have a short season whose length depends on sunny weather; they're usually at their best in June, just before the strawberry season, but can be available anytime from May to August. Red or yellow dessert gooseberries may also be available later in the season; they are generally sweeter and can be eaten raw.
Choose Firm, taut-skinned berries are best for cooking. If you are eating them raw, choose riper sweeter fruit that yield to the touch.
Prepare Gooseberries should be topped and tailed; snip off the tip and flower end, place in a pan with very little water and cook until softened, adding sugar to taste. Then use for crumbles, fools or ice creams. Cook with an elderflower head or elderflower cordial to give a complementary fragrance. Gooseberry sauce makes a tasty accompaniment to fatty meats such as goose or pork recipes. Try adding them in to a delicious gooseberry and yogurt cake.
