Electronic Prescribing (EPS)
This service is now available at Parsons Heath Medical Practice
A new way to get your medicines and appliances
The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is an NHS service. It gives you the chance to change how we send your prescription to the place you choose to get your medicines or appliances from.
What does this mean for you?
If you collect your repeat prescriptions from your GP you will not have to visit your GP practice to pick up your paper prescription. Instead, your GP will send it electronically to the place you choose, saving you time.
Is this service right for you?
Yes, if you have a stable condition and you
· Don't want to go to your GP practice every time to collect your repeat prescription
· Collect your medicines from the same place most of the time or use a prescription collection service now
It may not be if you:
· Don't get prescriptions very often
· Pick up your medicines from different places
How can you use EPS?
You need to choose a place for your GP practice to electronically send your prescription to. This is called nomination . You can choose either:
A pharmacy or a dispensing appliance contractor (if you use one)
Ask any pharmacy that offers EPS or your GP practice to add your nomination for you. You don't need a computer to do this.
*You will still need to order your repeat Prescription in the usual way
Can I change my nomination or cancel it and get a paper prescription?
Yes you can. If you don't want your prescription to be sent electronically tell your GP. If you want to change or cancel your nomination speak to any pharmacist that offers EPS, or your GP practice. Tell them before your next prescription is due or your prescription may be sent to the wrong place.
Is EPS reliable, secure and confidential?
Yes. Your electronic prescription will be seen by the same people in GP practices, pharmacies and NHS prescription payment and fraud agencies that see your paper prescription now.
Sometimes dispensers may see that you have nominated another dispenser. For example, if you forget who you have nominated and ask them to check or, if you have nominated more than one dispenser. Dispensers will also see all the items on your reorder slip if you are on repeat prescriptions.
For more information visit www.hscic.gov.uk/epspatients ,your pharmacy or GP practice
We are running flu clinics on Saturday 27th September and Saturday 11th October, 8.30 - 12.30 no appointment will be necessary
St Helena's Hospice will be collecting and have a items to sell on both flu dates
There have been some changes locally to the way blood taking services are provided, this means that you will be able to have your blood test carried out in the familiar surroundings of your own surgery, if we are unable to offer you an appointment we can book you an alternative appointment at a nearby local surgery or you can attend the Walk in Center
Main Changes to service:
If your GP has requested that you have a blood test you can no longer have this done at the hospital. All patients that require a GP generated blood test should book an appointment at reception or attend the Walk in Center
If your Hospital doctor or Consultant has requested that you have a blood test this can still be done at the hospital clinics
House bound patient requiring a home visit blood test will be referred by the GP or nurse to the company now providing this service
*This does not include INR testing – this will continue to be provided by the surgery
*We are currently in the process of training another member of staff to take blood;once trained we will be increasing the number of blood clinic appointments we have here at the Surgery
Please only use this form for comments about the practice and suggestions as to how we can improve our service to you. Medical matters and official complaints cannot be dealt with via this form. If you have a query regarding a medical matter please telephone reception to make an appointment to see the appropriate person.

PARIS (AP) - The International Tennis Federation might copy blood-testing measures used by cycling to weed out drug cheats.
ITF anti-doping manager Stuart Miller told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that the federation is working toward more blood and out-of-competition drug testing on players.
Roger Federer and Andy Murray have called for more out-of-competition and blood testing after Lance Armstrong's fall. Murray said the Armstrong example was "pretty shocking."
Miller said the ITF is "looking very, very carefully" at introducing an athlete biological passport program in tennis.
Cycling and track and field monitor athletes' blood values, looking for telltale indications of doping.

Not to our liking. The tour guide didn't interest us at all. The climbing at the Acropolis with all the construction going on was a nightmare. It seemed very disorganized and hard to hear the lady. The city was in turmoil with strikers shutting down the streets. We didn't feel welcome there at all. The Plaka is not like it used to be. Overpriced items and shopkeepers not as friendly as I had remembered from the 90's. We ate in a Taverna recommended by the guide, and I personally got food poisoning. I returned to the ship with great pain and new what it was from the moment I ate the late lunch. I had to rest that whole evening in bed to recover.

Bus took us to bottom of acroplis but the tour guide spent so much time talking no one had time to walk around, then bus took us to Plaka, again after walking thru santorini and mykonos the shopping was the same with narrow streets filled with shops and restaurants. I would recommend take the Acroplis tour instead.

The Acropolis is Fabulous. It winds up the hill so it is gradual. My mom is in her late 70's and did it just fine. We got to stop at the Olympic Stadium also and took some funny picture there of us being goofy and pretending to throw discus. The Plaka shopping district is filled with little shops and we also enjoyed a lunch nearby. The guide recommended the lunch and it was quite good. We then wandered the Plakka on our own. I thought that our guide walked a little too fast while we were in the city and some people had a problem keeping up. Be sure to read the description for activity level.

The Akropolis is out of control busy, but that isn't the cruise lines fault, and it is STILL worth seeing. Athens is so big and busy that it is worth taking an excursion. I would get worried about getting lost otherwise.

We booked with Context Travel. We did the Acropolis, New Acropolis Museum and Plaka. These places we visted were excellent but our guide was average. Would not use a Context Travel guide again for Athens but would highly recommend these places. It was just the right amount of places to try and cover with one day in Athens. We prefered this instead of running all over Athens trying to see everything.

Riccio re-elected BF village presidentStaff Report | May 22,2013BELLOWS FALLS — Village President Roger Riccio was re-elected as Bellows Falls village president Tuesday, easily out-distancing two challengers.
Village voters also re-elected Trustee Colin James and elected Charlie Hunter to a spot on the board as well.
Riccio, executive director of the Great Falls Regional Chamber of Commerce, had 217 votes to 80 votes for former Village President Lance Allen. Trustee Deb Wright, who was running for village president as well as her trustee position, received 77 votes.
Hunter was the top vote getter for trustee with 197, James had 173 votes; other candidates were Scott Falzo with 154 votes, Leslie White with 138 votes, and Wright, who got 61 votes.
Wright attributed her double defeat to her outspokeness and her opposition to merging the village of Bellows Falls with the town of Rockingham. The matter has been a perennial political issue, but is not currently under active discussion.
Wright is vice chairwoman of the Rockingham Free Public Library, which recently voted to close the library building while renovations are being completed on handicapped accessibility improvements. Wright said she didn't think that controversial vote played a role in her fate at the polls.MORE IN This Just InSki area operators in Vermont and across northern New England were giddy Wednesday at the...

Standard Model or Minimal SUSY ? April 6, 2014Posted by dorigo in physics.
comments closed
(I posted the text below in my current blog, which is at this link; I post it here as well as I would like to keep this blog active by writing something here now and then – TD).
If I look back at the first times I discussed the important graph of the top quark versus W boson mass, nine years ago, I am amazed at observing how much progress we have made since then. The top quark mass in 2005 was known with 2-3 GeV precision, the W boson mass with 35 MeV precision, and we did not know where the Higgs boson was, or if there was one.
Today, the top quark mass is measured with a 770 MeV uncertainty and the W boson mass with a 15 MeV uncertainty. That alone is a reduction of a factor of 10 in the allowed phase space of those two parameters; but crucially, we no also know the Higgs mass with a 0.5% accuracy. This leaves very little space for the true parameters of the standard model. On the other hand, if the SM were to be enlarged to a minimal version of Supersymmetry, then the theory predictions would blow up considerably, as the MSSM allows much more freedom to those parameters as others (like squark masses) are varied.
The summary of the experimental situation is shown in the graph below, which Sven Heinemeyer produced today for this blog (thanks Sven). The graph summarizes calculations produced by Heinemeyer and his colleagues Hollik, Stockinger, Weiglein and Zeune. In the graph the horizontal axis shows possible values of the top quark mass, in the very restricted range allowed by the latest world's best CMS measurement; the vertical axis shows values of the W boson mass, in an even narrower range in absolute terms, thanks to precise measurements of that quantity performed by LEP2 and the Tevatron experiments. The experimental determination of those two parameters is symbolized by a grey ellipse which encompasses 68% of their probable values.
Then if we stay within the standard model, the Higgs boson mass measurements by the CERN experiments (+-0.7 GeV) force the two parameters to be bound to lie within the very narrow red line; if instead we take the MSSM as the true underlying theory, the whole green area is possible; different points of this area correspond to different value of other parameters (here a more liberal variation of the Higgs mass is taken, to cover more possibilities). The downward arrow symbolizes that as one increases the "mass scale" of the MSSM the allowed region moves closer to the SM line.
Note that in this graph the grey ellipse and the red line are the only experimental inputs; there is no "LEP indirect" oval here, as this would be too wide for the graph. In other words, the precision electroweak information from the Z boson studies of the nineties has become largely irrelevant in this particular view (it remains a formidable input to verify the general agreement of SM and data, if one studies other parameters).
So, what should we carry home from this graph ? I believe at least two things. One, that the SM likes the W mass to be a bit lower than what is currently measured, and the top quark to be a bit higher; the tension is however only mild -we are talking about just a bit more than one standard deviation for the disagreement. Two, that the MSSM is not killed by these measurements – it would live on regardless of the precise values of W and top masses, as the breadth of the green area shows.
Oh, and a third thing – the experimental measurements of these quantities rock!
Other considerations can be made, but I will stop here for tonight. Tomorrow I will be on a train at 6 in the morning, to participate in a 2-day open discussion organized by INFN in Rome, called "WHAT NEXT". A very interesting discussion on the long term plans of italian research based on the current status of particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology, and other fundamental investigations. I will have something to report on that later on…
Devotion to the Tevatron October 2, 2011Posted by dorigo in physics.

(This post first appeared on my current site, www.science20.com/quantum_diaries_survivor . Please note that I post on this site quite rarely. Please visit me on the science20 site for updates on experimental particle physics and more!).
I'm nostalgic tonight. The reason ? The Tevatron has finally stopped running, for good.
It's strange to find out one can mourn the shutdown of a synchrotron just as the passing away of an old friend, but that's more or less how I feel like tonight. And I am not even among the ones who can claim to have been around for the full duration of the machine's lifetime, like Giorgio Chiarelli – as Giorgio recounted here, he was there in the CDF control room when the first proton-antiproton beams collided the first time, in 1985.
I started working in CDF in June 1992. In the course of these 19 years I have learned all I know about particle physics, and I have met a large number of extraordinary people. Not only ones from CDF: the Fermi laboratories are of course a place where you interact with the "competitors" from the other experiment, DZERO -you work elbow to elbow, go to the same parties, seminars, and events, and you share joys and frustrations as the machine which feeds data to both experiments outperforms or suffers technical stops. Plus of course technicians, machinists, administrative staff: a number of people who simply did their job there, but who all shared the pride of doing their part for the success of this remarkable human adventure.
As Gary Taubes explains in juicy details in his book "Nobel Dreams" (1987), it was Carlo Rubbia in the late seventies who first launched the idea of a proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab. Back then, he got severely beaten up by the lab director -he had a bad record of changing horses mid-race and keeping proposing new projects. But Rubbia was right: the technology was just getting mature enough for such a machine to be built. In the course of six months Rubbia learned all there was to know, and then some, about making antiprotons; and then CERN accepted his project. The W and Z bosons were discovered by the SppS experiments in 1983. By then, the Tevatron was already in place at Fermilab. Too late to challenge the discovery of the vector bosons, but timely to provide a precise measurement of their mass, and to search for the sixth quark, the top.
The history of the Tevatron and its many successes will no doubt be told by people who have participated more actively and deeply in it than myself, so there is no point for me to try and do that here tonight. I only choose to tell a personal story here. One where I take the part of the moron, incidentally, but that's beside the point (and not that uncommon after all).
I was in charge as Scientific Coordinator in the CDF control room a few years ago, leading a crew of physicists in the task of taking data as smoothly as possible during my seven-night shift. It was not the first time on that job, but I was eager to see data coming in -you get that kind of feeling when you sit during long nights waiting for something to happen. For a few times in a row during the past nights the sequence of injection of beams in the Tevatron had been started, and then aborted, for a string of reasons which were not immediately clear, and in some cases possibly caused by human errors. In a moment of scorn, I let go with a sarcastic sentence in the CDF E-log: "Injecting protons again. Let's see where they screw up this time".
Now I should explain that, since English is not my native language, I have often trouble gauging how strong words are in a sentence I say or write. To me it sounded a bit like saying "let's see where they find the trouble this time", or not too much worse than that. But it was by far too careless.
So I was not intending to insult anybody's competence, but the sentence was indeed inflamatory, plus of course unfit to an E-log. Worse than that, and not considered by me at the moment, the CDF E-log was readable by anybody, Main Control Room Machinists included. Heck, you too could read it in real time.
The following morning I was not even reproached too much for my stupid sentence, but from the feedback I got in a number of ways, that one time I learned quite something. I learned that out there, reading the CDF E-log, there were not just us in the control room, plus the other people on shift in the Main Control Room and in the DZERO CR, plus a handful of people on call for any problem the hardware or software could be facing. There was a whole community of colleagues who read the E-log as frequently as an addicted user reads his or her Facebook homepage. People who cared for the machine, for the data taking, for the success of the experiment. People who had devoted their life to make this as good Science as it could possible be. People who were ready to provide help to solve problems even when they were not on call, and who woke up in the middle of the night just to see whether a new store was in. All of these people had felt outraged by the lack of respect I had shown to the Tevatron machinists.
I have always said I appreciate men and women who regardless how serious their job is do not neglect to take it with a grain of irony; and yet I saw a flaw in that line of reasoning, confronted with the devotion of so many brilliant minds to the common good -the advancement of Science at the hands of the machine they had contributed building and operating for many years.
So the Tevatron has been turned off today, and many people are sad, each in their own private way. To many, the Tevatron was their life. To all, it was the machine that created the opportunity of getting together to work in a friendly, stimulating environment, growing professionally and intellectually. It was a fascinating machine, which deserves a whole chapter in a history of particle physics. 28 years old, with its glitchs and hiccups, by now old and patched up, the Tevatron was still incredibly performant until the very end. Farewell, Tevatron!
Greek Blog November 1, 2010Posted by dorigo in Blogroll, internet, language, news, personal, physics, science.
comments closed
I had forgotten to link it from here, but the internet always provides a chance for redemption. So here I go. A couple of months ago I have opened another wordpress blog, where I write on particle physics – in Greek. This is a rather extravagant choice, and I think I need to spend a few words explaining it.
First of all, there is my love of the language, which I have been studying for two years. It is a difficult language to master, due to the interplay of several factors: the different alphabet, the enormous wealth of words, and the rather quick evolution of rules and uses. Maybe because of these challenges, I have found it quite entertaining to get on top of it.
The second reason for writing in Greek is, in fact, that I have yet a lot to learn, and I think that writing about science is a very good exercise, allowing me to find a solution to the translation problems I may encounter if I discuss about my job – physics – in that language.
The third reason is that I think there is no offer whatsoever in the web for a blog about particle physics in Greek (if you know any, let me know). So I might just try to fill that hole myself.
In short, the new blog is an experiment. I do not know, nor can predict, how long it will last; for now, if you know modern Greek please stop by. Below is a list of my recent efforts:

This morning I came back from Easter vacations to my office and was suddenly assaulted by a pile of errands crying to be evaded, but I prevailed, and I still found some time to get fascinated by browsing through a preprint appeared a week ago on the Arxiv, 0904.1000. The paper, by Xi-Qing Hao, Hong-Wei Ke, Yi-Bing Ding, Peng-Nian Shen, and Xue-Qian Li [wow, I'm past the hard part of this post], is titled "Testing the Bell Inequality at Experiments of High Energy Physics". Here is the abstract:
Besides using the laser beam, it is very tempting to directly testify the Bell inequality at high energy experiments where the spin correlation is exactly what the original Bell inequality investigates. In this work, we follow the proposal raised in literature and use the successive decays to testify the Bell inequality. [...] (We) make a Monte-Carlo simulation of the processes based on the quantum field theory (QFT). Since the underlying theory is QFT, it implies that we pre-admit the validity of quantum picture. Even though the QFT is true, we need to find how big the database should be, so that we can clearly show deviations of the correlation from the Bell inequality determined by the local hidden variable theory. [...]
Testing the Bell inequality with the decay of short-lived subatomic particles sounds really cool, doesn't it ? Or does it ? Unfortunately, my quantum mechanics is too rusty to allow me to get past a careful post which explains things tidily, in the short time left between now and a well-deserved sleep. You can read elsewhere about the Bell inequality, and how it tests whether pure quantum mechanics rules -destroying correlations between quantum systems separated by a space-like interval- or whether a local hidden variable theory holds instead: and besides, almost anybody can write a better account of that than me, so if you feel you can help, you are invited to guest-blog about it here.
Besides embarassing myself, I still wanted to mention the paper today, because the authors make a honest attempt at proposing an experiment which might actually work, and which could avoid some drawbacks of all experimental tests so far attempted, which belong to the realm of quantum optics. In their own words,
Over a half century, many experiments have been carried out [...] among them, the polarization entanglement experiments of two-photons and multi-photons attract the widest attention of the physics society. All photon experimental data indicate that the Bell inequality and its extension forms are violated, and the results are fully consistent with the prediction of QM. The consistency can reach as high as 30 standard deviations. [...] when analyzing the data, one needs to introduce additional assumptions, so that the requirement of LHVT cannot be completely satisfied. That is why as generally considered, so far, the Bell inequality has not undergone serious test yet.
Being totally ignorant of quantum optics I am willing to buy the above as true, although, being a sceptical son of a bitch, the statement makes me slightly dubious. Anyway, let me get to the point of this post.
Any respectable quantum mechanic could convince you that in order to check the Bell inequality with the decay chain mentioned above, it all boils down to measuring the correlation between the pions emitted in the decay of the Lambda particles, i.e., the polarization of the Lambda baryons: in the end, one just measures one single, clean angle between the observed final state pions. The authors show that this would require about one billion decays of the mesons produced by an electron-positron collider running at 3.09 GeV center-of-mass energy (the mass of the J/psi resonance): this is because the decay chain involving the clean final state is rare: the branching fraction of is 0.013, the decay occurs once in a thousand cases, and finally, each Lambda hyperon has a 64% chance to yield a proton-pion final state. So, 0.013 times 0.001 times 0.64 squared makes a chance about as frequent as a Pope appointment. However, if we had such a sample, here is what we would get:
The plot shows the measured angle between the two charged pions one would obtain from 3382 pion pairs (resulting from a billion decays through double hyperon decay) compared with pure quantum mechanics predictions (the blue line) and by the Bell inequality (the area within the green lines). The simulated events are taken to follow the QM predictions, and such statistics would indeed refute the Bell inequality -although not by a huge statistical margin.
So, the one above is an interesting distribution, but if the paper was all about showing they can compute branching fractions and run a toy Monte Carlo simulation (which even I could do in the time it takes to write a lousy post), it would not be worth much. Instead, they have an improved idea, which is to apply a suitable magnetic field and exploit the anomalous magnetic moment of the Lambda baryons to measure simultaneously their polarization along three independent axes, turning a passive measurement -one involving a check of the decay kinematics of the Lambda particles- into an active one -directly figuring out the polarization. This is a sort of double Stern-Gerlach experiment. Here I would really love to explain what a Stern-Gerlach experiment is, and even more to make sense of the above gibberish, but for today I feel really drained out, and I will just quote the authors again:
One can install two Stern-Gerlach apparatuses at two sides with flexible angles with respect to according to the electron-positron beams. The apparatus provides a non-uniform magnetic field which may decline trajectory of the neutral () due to its non-zero anomalous magnetic moment i.e. the force is proportional to where is the anomalous magnetic moment of , B is a non-uniform external magnetic field and d/n is a directional derivative. Because is neutral, the Lorentz force does not apply, therefore one may expect to use the apparatus to directly measure the polarization [...]. But one must first identify the particle flying into the Stern-Gerlach apparatus [...]. It can be determined by its decay product [...]. Here one only needs the decay product to tag the decaying particle, but does not use it to do kinematic measurements.
I think this idea is brilliant and it might actually be turned into a technical proposal. However, the experimental problems connected to setting up such an apparatus, detecting the golden decays in a huge background of impure quantum states, and capturing Lambdas inside inhomogeneous magnetic fields, are mindboggling: no wonder the authors do not have a Monte Carlo for that. Also, it remains to be seen whether such pains are really called for. If you ask me, quantum mechanics is right, period: why bother ?

When Danish adventurer and businessman Rene Kaerskov jumped out of a helicopter into the ice cold of the Arctic, directly over the North Pole in 2008, he had no idea that he was parachuting into a new era.
Because at that moment in time, landing safely at the most northerly point of the globe, his heart was conquered by the cool, simple beauty and infinite white expanse of the eternal ice. Overwhelmed by these fascinating impressions, he also captivated his business partners back home in Denmark with his descriptions of the exquisite splendour of the Arctic landscape. During passionate discussions, the vision of a new watch brand slowly took shape. A watch brand which would be as pure, clear and breathtakingly beautiful as the Arctic itself.
The idea for BERING Watch Design was born.
Exactly 280 years ago, the Danish sailor Vitus Bering braced himself for a daring adventure: in 1728 he set sail for an almost unknown area of the Arctic Ocean. On his journey he crossed the straits which would later be named the Bering Strait in his honour. Vitus Bering was the first European to discover Alaska and it is here that one of the four time zones bears his famous name: Bering-Time!
Treading new ground, venturing into unknown territory: the Danes Vitus Bering and Rene Kaerskoy link these ideas with the BERING brand. This is the only way in which a vision can become reality. And so the brand BERING is successfully made up of the perfect combination of extraordinarily hard materials and an extremely flat design.
Timelessly beautiful and long-lasting, like the eternal ice, BERING blends minimalistic Danish design and optimal material strength in a unique way. Inspired by the beauty of the arctic, the style of the BERING collection is characterised by clear, streamlined forms and pure elegance. High quality materials such as HighTech- ceramic and sapphire glass, with their extreme scratch resistance and strength, ensure that time leaves no trace.
A brand that redefines time with its love for detail.
It's Bering-Time.

You have to love the eccentrics of the world. Elton John with his wardrobe, Freddy Mercury with his theatrics, Michael Jackson with his, well, let's stop there. But when it comes to automotive eccentrics, the Japanese seem to indulge in the most bizarre acts of vehicular carnage. One only needs to look at their long-standing "vanning" culture to make the point.
Vans, however, cannot hold a candle to what Japanese tuning firm Rabbit has done to this MR2. The PZR, for Pagani Zonda Rabbit, was the brainchild of a few overly caffeinated designers who wanted to pay homage to one of the world's greatest supercars. As the body panels are easily attached, the whole conversion only took a few weeks.
Sure, it's mid-engine donor car provided them with a good foundation, but would you put it on your car?

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin students' average ACT scores were unchanged this year compared with 2012, and they remain above the national average.
The average composite score for Wisconsin students who graduated this spring was 22.1 out of 36. That's the same as last year and above the national average of 20.9.
In Wisconsin, 71 percent of public and private school students who graduated took the test. That's the same as last year.
Of the states where at least 50 percent of students took the test, Wisconsin's score was tied for second highest with Iowa. Minnesota was the highest at 23. All three states have traditionally been among the highest scoring on the test.
The results were released Wednesday by the independent nonprofit ACT.

Allegheny Technologies,
earnings report,
Richard Harshman,
specialty metals,
Thorsten Schier
NEW YORK Stainless and specialty metals producer Allegheny Technologies Inc. (ATI) believes "challenging" business conditions will continue in the first quarter "and perhaps the first half" due to uncertainties surrounding U.S. fiscal and global economic policies, its top executive says.
The company is especially cautious about markets that are sensitive to the gross domestic product (GDP), such as standard stainless, as consumer and business confidence is "extraordinarily low," chairman, president and chief executive officer Richard Harshman said in a statement released Jan. 23 with its latest earnings report.
Even with these "near-term headwinds," the long-term outlook remains positive for the companys key end markets, including aerospace, oil and gas, and medical, although demand from the electrical energy market in the short term is expected to be flat due to tepid GDP growth in advanced economies and weak domestic housing starts, Harshman said.
The company posted full-year net income of $158.4 million, down 26.1 percent from $214.3 million in 2011, on sales that slipped 2.9 percent to $5.03 billion, within a revised estimate of $5 billion to $5.1 billion but lower than the $5.3 billion to $5.4 billion the company had forecast earlier in 2012.
Shipments of standard flat-rolled products totaled 656.3 million pounds last year, an 11.7-percent increase from 2011, as average sales prices fell 18.9 percent to $1.46 per pound.
Pittsburgh-based ATIs fourth-quarter results were affected by "continued low demand and historically low base prices for our standard stainless products," Harshman said. The company also saw lower demand for some of its high-value products in its high-performance metals and flat-rolled products sections due to inventory management by customers.
Fourth-quarter net income tumbled 66.9 percent to $10.5 million from $31.7 million in the same period a year earlier on sales that fell 12 percent to $1.1 billion. ATI shipped 155.6 million pounds of standard flat-rolled products during the quarter, up 27.9 percent from 121.7 million pounds, as average sales prices dipped 14 percent to $1.35 per pound.
ATI took a special charge of $8.8 million during the quarter due to the closure of its iron casting facility in Alpena, Mich., part of an effort to improve operating efficiencies. The company also is consolidating its service center operations, a move that is expected to be complete by the end of the first quarter.

Arlington firefighters make 'Santa Runs' Dec. 4-13
ARLINGTON — Arlington firefighters will once again be accompanying Santa Claus to local neighborhoods, as they give out candy canes and collect non-perishable food items for the Arlington Community Food Bank from Dec. 4-13.
Inclement weather may delay a night and extend the event. Most areas of the city of Arlington will be visited, either between 5-8 p.m. on weekdays or between 5:30-8 p.m. on weekends, but Santa cannot make his way down every street, such as cul-de-sacs and dead ends.

text: Hamas rockets have ever greater and practise for the first time today have reached even the areas of Caesarea and Haifa, located at 130 and 170 km from the Gaza Strip. Distances too high for heavy Iranian Fajr rockets-5 launched towards Tel Aviv and maybe even for new M-302, derived from the Chinese weapons WS-1 produced in Syria and apparently turned to Hamas from Iran via Sudan. To avoid expensive shoot interceptors against non-paying the targets shield Israeli radar calculates the trajectory of the rocket intercept him considering to prevent fall in areas inhabited or let it go, if it is intended to hit uninhabited areas. The iron dome is created by Israeli companies Elta and Rafael (with a US financial contribution amounted to 275 million dollars) and Tamir interceptor missile uses very quickly and accurately but that costs about 30 thousand dollars per aircraft and is commonly used to destroy rockets worth a few thousand dollars, sometimes even less, as in the case of crude Kassam products in craft workshops in Gaza at a cost of just $ 800 a piece. .
