DSN had the opportunity to speak with Christian Tadrus, who has been the pharmacist at Sam's Health Mart in the Colombia, Mo. area, since 1997. Tadrus, a member of McKesson's Sponsored Clinical Services pharmacy network, participates in a number of adherence support programs, including the award-winning Pharmacy Intervention adherence coaching program, StudyLink patient recruitment for clinical trials program, and the RxRapid Response pharmacist survey program.
Desloge, Mo.-based Parkland Health Mart Pharmacy was honored with the 2013 Pharmacy of the Year Award by McKesson Corporation in Las Vegas, Thursday, at the Venetian Casino and Resort, as part of the wholesaler's annual McKesson ideaShare conference.
The Pharmacy of the Year Awards presentation is always a highly anticipated part of the program at McKesson ideaShare, honoring independent pharmacy owners for driving growth and improvements both in their businesses and in the lives of their patients.
In anticipation of the March 13 deadline for comments on the FDA's proposed rule on prescription generic drug labeling, 21 health industry groups submitted a new letter to the agency on Thursday, raising concerns about the proposed regulation.
McKesson on Wednesday announced that its board of directors has elected Anthony Coles as a new independent director, effective April 29, 2014.
McKesson on Friday announced that the wholesaler has launched a voluntary public takeover offer for the remaining outstanding shares of Celesio through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Dragonfly.
CommonWell Health Alliance, the health information technology vendor-led interoperability effort, announced on Monday that CVS Caremark has joined as one of the newest contributing members of the organization.
Recent strategic business initiatives are granting wholesalers more generic drug purchasing power than ever before.
McKesson and Rite Aid on Tuesday announced the signing of an expanded distribution agreement to include both brand and generic pharmaceuticals.
McKesson confirmed that it has completed the previously announced agreement with Franz Haniel & Cie. GmbH to acquire their entire holding of Celesio shares.
The market for electronic health and medical records is set to experience rapid growth over the coming years, with EMR peer group value estimated to climb from approximately $10.6 billion in 2012 to $17 billion by 2017, at a compound annual growth rate of 9.8%, according to research and consulting firm GlobalData.
If you don't succeed the first time, try, try again. That's exactly what McKesson did when it announced that it reached an agreement with Franz Haniel & Cie. GmbH to acquire its entire holding of Celesio shares. And in a separate and subsequent agreement, McKesson also picked up the Celesio convertible bonds from Elliott.
Nothing good is ever easy. "While the path to securing this acquisition was certainly not what we had originally expected, it would seem that the interested parties to this transaction continued to see the compelling strategic benefit of McKesson and Celesio uniting to form a global leader in health care services," John Hammergren, McKesson chairman, CEO and president, said of the deal. "I never lost sight of the value this transaction will bring to our customers, our supply chain partners, the employees of both organizations and our shareholders."
McKesson announced that it has reached an agreement with Franz Haniel & Cie. GmbH to acquire its entire holding of Celesio shares for 23.50 euros per share (US $32.24 per share).
McKesson may take another bite of the Celesio apple, suggested Sterne Agee analyst Greg Bolan in a note published Monday.
McKesson on Monday announced that it was unsuccessful in reaching the 75% completion condition in its offer for the outstanding shares and convertible bonds of Celesio.
A deal announced last month between CVS Caremark and Cardinal Health created a joint venture that the companies said would be the largest generic drug sourcing entity in the United States.
McKesson is preparing to offer concessions to hedge fund Elliott to save its planned acquisition of Celesio, Reuters reported Wednesday morning, citing people familiar with the deal.
Cardinal Health ranked No. 1 in Gartner's fifth annual Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25 ranking. Not including health systems, the top 10 included McKesson at No. 5, BD (6), Johnson and Johnson (7), Walgreens (8) and CVS Caremark (9).
McKesson's Health Mart pharmacy franchisees recently gained access to a tool that has the potential of giving community pharmacy a leg up on the competition in the coming years. EQuIPP, from Pharmacy Quality Solutions, does just that — equips independents with individual store data that marks the performance of their pharmacy vs. a national benchmark.
It's putting the pestle where the mortar is — retail pharmacy has the patient touchpoints and data-tracking wherewithal to make a material impact on patient outcomes. Important, because that's what the new year will bring — more and more healthcare payers looking to improve their own patient outcomes. And what better way to do it than to partner with outperforming pharmacies?
McKesson announced that the company has launched the voluntary public takeover offer for the outstanding shares of Celesio through its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary Dragonfly in connection with the announcement on Oct. 24 of McKesson's agreement to acquire Celesio.
McKesson will be introducing hospital and health systems pharmacy leaders to new ideas and emerging solutions for their top issues at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists Midyear Clinical Meeting 2013, which runs from Dec. 8 to 12.
You could call it a who's who of the industry.
With a record-breaking crowd expected on hand, The Drug Store News Group has assembled an all-star lineup of some of the leading retail merchants and marketers in the industry for its 15th annual Industry Issues conference next month.
It's called medication synchronization, and the concept is simple enough — shifting patients to a synchronized, easy-to-comply-with, once-a-month prescription refill program so they can pick up all their medications with one visit to the pharmacy each month, instead of multiple trips.
Through its biometric screening kiosks, its smartphone application and its website, Higi encourages users to take a more holistic approach to their health. True wellness, its creators insist, springs not just from such physical metrics as blood pressure, glucose readings and body mass index, but from lifestyle choices and connections to family, friends, neighbors and coworkers.
McKesson's Health Mart on Wednesday announced the launch of its new Local Marketing Support program designed to make it easier for Health Mart owners to grow their business by attracting new patients and driving revenue.

Spiration lands funding to continue emphysema trials
- John Cook
Spiration has landed $7 million in convertible debt financing, money that the Redmond medical device maker will use to complete clinical studies for its new emphysema treatment. The money -- part of a $10 million round -- was provided by existing shareholder Olympus Medical Systems Corp., said Chief Operating Officer Gregory Sessler.
Olympus has secured exclusive distribution rights to Spiration's IBV Valve System in Europe and also has an agreement to develop the product for Japan. As you can see in this video, the IBV system includes small catheters that are inserted into the lungs in order to improve breathing and redirect airflow to healthy tissues.
Founded in 1999 and holding more than two dozen patents, Spiration has raised plenty of cash over the years.
To date, it has raised $98 million from a syndicate of investors that includes Three Arch Partners, New Enterprise Associates, Versant Ventures, Sprout Group, InterWest Partners, Investor Growth Capital, GE Capital and Saints Capital.
And the company is moving closer to commercialization of its lead product. In July, Spiration announced that a number of leading medical centers -- including the University of Washington, University of Chicago and University of California, San Diego -- had begun accepting patients into emphysema trials with the device.
The new debt funding is part of a $10 million round.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Over 100 people gathered at Riverside City Hall on Thursday night for a prayer vigil for a Riverside police officer shot and killed earlier in the day.
"We wanted to be supportive. We live here in Riverside. The loss of anybody is tragic and we need to pull together," said Stephanie Varieur.
The shooting happened at the intersection of Magnolia and Arlington avenues around 1:20 a.m. Investigators say two Riverside police officers were waiting at a stop light when Christopher Dorner rolled past them, then opened fire with an automatic rifle. A 34-year-old officer, who was also 11-year veteran, was killed. The other officer, 27, was said to be in stable condition Thursday night.
"His wounds are very substantial, he's definitely surviving and we are very, very grateful," said Riverside Police Chief Setgio Diaz.
Investigators say Dorner's Riverside attack came just 20 minutes after he allegedly shot at two LAPD officers in Corona. They were on special detail, protecting a family named as targets in Dorner's manifesto. When Dorner was spotted, investigators say he opened fire.
"Officers were able to return fire. One officer sustained a graze wound to his head, the vehicle sustained numerous hits," said LAPD Chief Jose Perez.
None of the names of the officers involved in the shootings has been named out of extreme caution, due to Dorner's vow to go after relatives of his targets.
"The criminal with whom we are dealing has made it clear that he considers police officers and their families are fair game," said Diaz.
Despite having a self-avowed killer on the loose, the crowd still came together to honor the fallen officer. Police were on-hand, but not in an overwhelming force. It was a calculated move, according to Riverside's mayor, to send a message to the people of his city and to Dorner.
"Riverside is a safe and secure city. We are not afraid, and we are going to gather and we are strong and we are resilient," said Mayor Rusty Bailey.
To honor the fallen officer, Riverside County officials have ordered all flags throughout the county be lowered to half-staff for the next week.

Description: The first motion picture produced by DreamWorks SKG, The Peacemaker (1997) was a spy thriller that married the exotic locations and derring-do of James Bond with the high-tech obsession and post-Cold War politics of Tom Clancy. Greedy Russian military officers crash two trains into each other, the warheads aboard one causing a nuclear blast. The accident is a cover for the theft of some of the weapons for sale to terrorists and rogue governments. In the U.S., intelligence officer Lt. Col. Tom Devoe (George Clooney), isn't fooled. Neither is Dr. Julia Kelly (Nicole Kidman), the acting head of a White House task force on nuclear smuggling. Devoe and Kelly team up to find the nukes, and they are able to stop the transfer of the weapons in a raid at the Iranian border, but one warhead is missing. It's in the hands of Dusan Gavrich (Marcel Iures), a grief-stricken terrorist planning to call the world's attention to the war in the former Soviet Union with a nuclear explosion in Manhattan. Although fictional, The Peacemaker was based on the magazine article One Point Safe by Andrew Cockburn and Leslie Cockburn, a factual investigative news report about nuclear weapons smuggling in Russia.~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

"How many poor red state voters are prepared to die before their time to make an ideological point?"
-- Andrew Sullivan, referencing Jonathan Cohn's New Republic piece on which states are enrolling residents in the Affordable Care Act by percentage of total eligible population ("How Red States are Holding Back Obamacare"). The top seven are blue states, including Washington state at No. 2, while five of the bottom seven are red states. (Massachusetts, at the very bottom, already has its Obamacare.) Basically, according to Cohn, blue-state governors are making it easier for residents to enroll, red-state governors not so much.

"I didn't know you were allowed to do that."
-- Gabriel Garcia Marquez's reaction to first reading Franz Kafka's "Metamorphisis." It's also how Errol Morris felt when seeing Joshua Oppenheimer's documentary "The Act of Killing." It's also how I felt—two times, nearly two decades apart—watching the movies of Quentin Tarantino.

Quote of the Day
"Character is destiny, and politicians usually get the scandals they deserve, with a sense of inevitability about them. Warren G. Harding surrounded himself with corrupt pols and businessmen, then checked out, leading to the most sensational case of bribery in American history. Ronald Reagan combined zealotry and fantasy, and Oliver North acted them out. Bill Clinton was libidinous and truth-parsing but also cautious, while George W. Bush was an incurious crusader who believed himself chosen by God and drove almost the entire national-security establishment into lawlessness without thinking twice. Christie, more than any of these, is reminiscent of the President whose petty hatefulness destroyed him—which is why, as NBC's newscaster said when signing off on an early report on that long-ago burglary, I don't think we've heard the last of this."
-- George Packer, "The Trouble with Christe" in The New Yorker, expertly parsing the political scandals of the last 100 years.

Roger Ailes and a Soundtrack of Barnyard Animals, Bleating
Here are a few quotes, and a few thoughts, on "Bad News," Jill LePore's New Yorker piece on FOX News president Roger Ailes, as Gabriel Sherman's tell-all book, "The Loudest Voice in the Room," gets ready to go on sale:
Roger Ailes was born in Warren, Ohio, in 1940. He has hemophilia, which didn't stop his father from beating him with an electrical cord. A story Ailes has told—"his Rosebud story," according to Stephen Rosenfield, who worked with Ailes in the nineteen-seventies—is about a lesson he learned in his bedroom as a boy. His father, holding out his arms, told him to jump off the top bunk and then deliberately failed to catch him, saying, "Don't ever trust anybody."
Ailes became a wunderkind producer of "The Mike Douglas Show," met Nixon in '67, helped him get elected in '68, etc., etc. Then we get this:
In the nineteen-eighties, Ailes's politics grew more conservative, as did the G.O.P. Between 1980 and 1986, Ailes helped get thirteen Republican senators and eight members of Congress elected, including Dan Quayle and Mitch McConnell. He also played a crucial role in the Presidential campaigns of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. He urged Reagan to disarm Walter Mondale in debate by promising not to make age an issue. "I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience," Reagan said. Ailes calmed Bush's nerves before his first debate against Michael Dukakis. "If you get in trouble out there, just call him an animal fucker," Ailes whispered. According to a team of reporters from Newsweek, Ailes had proposed an ad, which never ran, called "Bestiality." It would have featured a screen of text—"In 1970, Governor Michael Dukakis introduced legislation in Massachusetts to repeal the ban on sodomy and bestiality"—shown over a soundtrack of barnyard animals, bleating.
The brunt of the piece is comparing Ailes to yellow journalist (and inspiration for Charles Foster Kane) William Randoph Hearst, who was often accused of being a Fascist. (LePore: "This charge derived, in part, from the fact that Hearst had professed his admiration for Hitler and Mussolini.") In the 1930s, Hearst tried to preempt an unauthorized, negative biography with the authorized postive kind, just as Ailes is doing today. LePore, a history professor at Yale, thinks this is pointless since history will decide. But she also thinks it's pointless to attack Ailes as it was to attack Hearst. The problem isn't Ailes' FOX; it's the people who watch Ailes' FOX.
"The audience he craves he also hates," LePore says of Kane, which could also mean Hearst, which could also mean Ailes. It's not a bad avenue of exploration for FOX haters. At the least, there is in the typical FOX line a condemnation of its audience, most of whom, after all, aren't millionaires or job creators. They're people watching TV in the middle of the day.
LePore reminds us that Ailes might not be doing his cause any good, either. During the heyday of the FCC's Fairness Doctrine, Republicans won 7 of 10 presidential elections, but since its repeal by Reagan's anti-regulation forces in 1987, and the rise of Rush Limbaugh and FOX-News and et al., they've gone 3-4.
"I left politics a number of years ago," Roger Ailes said when he took over FOX in 1996. "We expect to do fine, balanced journalism."

Quote of the Day
I've had this in the queue for a long time:
The first time I ever heard the word "content" used in its current context, I understood that all my artist friends and I — henceforth, "content providers" — were essentially extinct. This contemptuous coinage is predicated on the assumption that it's the delivery system that matters, relegating what used to be called "art" — writing, music, film, photography, illustration — to the status of filler, stuff to stick between banner ads.
Just as the atom bomb was the weapon that was supposed to render war obsolete, the Internet seems like capitalism's ultimate feat of self-destructive genius, an economic doomsday device rendering it impossible for anyone to ever make a profit off anything again. It's especially hopeless for those whose work is easily digitized and accessed free of charge.
--Tim Kreider, "Slaves of the Internet, Unite!" in The New York Times, Oct. 27, 2013.
Yep, yep, yep. Yet here I am. But only because I can afford to be. For the moment.

text: How do you separate the artist from their art? Put another way, if a pedophile makes a movie that you like, does this mean you condone his (or her) despicable behavior off camera? The answer, logically, is no. Both things are separate, just like a great work of literature by a raging alcoholic can be appreciated outside its 100 proof origins. Of course, child molestation is a million miles away from drinking to excess, and yet that's what faces a film fan every time they take in an effort by Victor Salva. Convicted in the late '80s of a terrible crime on the set of something called Clownhouse, he finally reestablished his cinematic credentials with the preposterous abuse allegory Powder as well as the often effective Jeepers Creepers horror franchise. Infusing a new found sense of faith into his prison reform reinvention, it clear he wants to put his past behind him and just make worthwhile movies. Sadly, Dark House is not one of them.

Luukko: Fund facts help make investment info clearer
Fund facts — the new, two- to four-page disclosure document — will soon be a regular feature on the websites of mutual fund companies. They'll also be available to investors via email or Canada Post.
Fund facts — the new, two- to four-page disclosure document — will soon be a regular feature on the websites of mutual fund companies. They'll also be available to investors via email or Canada Post.
Though the requirement to produce fund facts for each class of each fund took effect on Jan. 1, companies have been given until July 8 to comply. Most are taking advantage of this grace period, so you can expect a flood of fund facts to be released soon.
Among both the fund industry and regulators alike, fund facts are praised as plain-language documents that are more likely to be read and understood.
Fund facts will become the basic disclosure document, replacing the much longer prospectuses. Companies will still be required to produce a prospectus, and they'll be available on request.
Fund facts provide a snapshot of the fund's top holdings and asset mix. They also summarize how much the fund charges in fees, and how much it pays dealers in point-of-sales commissions and ongoing trailer fees.
What doesn't fund facts tell you? Plenty.
There is no meaningful disclosure of risk. The fund company gets to "rate" the risk of the fund according to five descriptive choices, ranging from low to high.
There are no standard criteria for these risk ratings. A fund can hold more than half of its assets in equities and still be labelled as low-risk. Some balanced funds will have the same risk rating as money-market funds, which makes no sense.
Though fund facts provide a quick summary of areas you need to consider, you'll need to look elsewhere for more detailed and timely information.
Here are some key online sources:
Fund company websites: Though these aren't independent sources, most of them contain a wealth of facts and figures. The top holdings and other data are typically updated monthly or at least quarterly. By comparison, unless there's a material change such as a change of fundamental objectives, fund facts are required to be updated only once a year.
To varying degrees, historical performance, market commentary, names and minibiographies of portfolio managers, and regulatory filings may also be posted on company sites.
SEDAR.com: The name of this must-view site for serious investors is an acronym that stands for System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval. Here you'll find all of a mutual fund's regulatory filings, including fund facts, prospectuses, financial statements and much more.
For example, the annual information form includes the names of the firms providing investment management to the funds and their key personnel.
The management report of fund performance (MRFP) provides management commentary, holdings summaries and several pages of statistical data. Among other things, the MRFP shows trends in asset size, management expense ratios and portfolio turnover.
Third-party sites: Want to know how well the fund has performed versus its competitors? For that, you can go to an independent source such as the Star's Fund Centre.
To look up a fund, visit www.thestar.com/business and click on the Fund Centre link, then start typing the fund's name in the Quotes box. Click on the name when it appears.
For a Canadian equity fund, for instance, you can view returns over multiple periods, and how they compare with the median return in the category and the S&P/TSX Total Return Index.
You can also review a fund's top holdings, sector weightings and geographic exposure, as well as a summary of the amounts and types of distributions.
The information presented will generally be more current and much more detailed than what is required to be disclosed in fund facts.

Exclusive Central London Apt
Apartment | 3 bedrooms | sleeps 8
Key Info |
Big Ben, Tower Bridge, the Natural History Museum – all are visual icons of London, built by Victorians whose aspirations knew no boundaries - but those are not for rent. With them sits St Pancras Chambers, a gothic fantasy of bricks and spires.
The building, designated as a national historic landmark (Grade 1 listed) incorporates the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel (5 star Marriott), St Pancras Chambers (private apartments such as this) and Kings Cross St Pancras underground and train station below - the most interconnected train hub in London (6 tube lines inc direct access to Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton airports plus direct trains to Edinburgh, Paris and Brussels!)
On the edge of fashionable Bloomsbury and well connected by underground, it is the perfect hub from which to explore London's sights. Restaurants, pubs and shops can be found in abundance both in the building and adjacent hotel as well as the general vicinity.
The perfect base to explore all that London has to offer.
This apartment is on the top two floors of St Pancras Chambers. Residents also have access to hotel facilities at additional cost (inc Spa, Pool and Gym)
The apartment is over the 4th and 5th floors of the building. There are two guest double bedrooms on the 4th floor (one ensuite) and third mezzanine room above the living room which is typically used as a third bedroom (it has 2 foldout single sofa beds which can be put side by side for a double). If not needed as a third bedroom, the mezzanine has also in the past been used as a reading room or as a kids play area (we have plenty of board games and puzzles).
We have 2 further foldout mattresses and one travel cot available on request. These can be placed in either bedroom.
The 5th floor area is an open plan Kitchen/Living Room.
Check-in is typically any time after 4pm and Check-out strictly by 10am. I will certainly try to be flexible and it depends very much on how tight the turnaround is between your booking and the ones before and after. If your needs require an early check-in for example, I have often accommodated the needs of the tenants where possible but this must be by prior arrangement so please email me about your needs and I will try my best to accommodate.
Please remember, this is not a business. We are welcoming you into our own home. While we use it ourselves most of the time, we make it available on occasion when we are away. Please treat it as you would your own.
We have had some wonderful people stay here since we started making our apartment available and we would like to keep up that record. When you contact us, please tell us something about yourself, and your plans in London. Empty booking requests will be ignored.
Please note that I can also accept a 2 night booking for an additional 12.5% fee above the nightly rate for a 3 night booking.

"Perfect in every way"
Great space. The owners thought of everything for our comfort. Breakfast food. Huge basket of fresh fruit on arrival. Apartment is very clean and modern and beautifully appointed. Many extras. Lots of towels. Fresh clean linens. Spacious bedrooms. Great loft area that converts to extra sleeping space. Two full bathrooms. Oyster cards for the tube. Guide books. We had a great time and the St. Pancras chambers building is extraordinarily beautiful. It was lovely to read a bit of the history of the building and the train station. Would definitely stay again. The tube is 15 minutes from many of London's popular attractions

"Luxurious living in London's finest structure"
If your first reaction on seeing the exterior of the St Pancras apartments isn't 'wow!' then you probably weren't that impressed with the Pyramids or the Taj Mahal either. The outside of Apartment 5.21 is the highest pinnacle of Victorian gothic revival artistry and architecture (think Palace of Westminster and Big Ben, but better) ; our taxi driver rated it as London's finest structure, and who are we to quibble with that description?
Inside it's a fabulous blend of stylish modern living (superb bathrooms, comfortable bedrooms, spacious open plan dining and living room, mod-con kitchen) and historic character (wooden beams, engraved brass door handle surrounds, a third bedroom cleverly tucked into a mezzanine floor in the vaulted ceiling space). Fluffy towels, lovely linens and lots of nice touches, such as the fully stocked coffee maker and the guest Oyster travel cards, really do make this a delightful and easy place to stay.
The St Pancras complex includes - for your convenience - a fine hotel (we would recommend having afternoon tea in the Hansom Lounge), a handy Underground station and the astonishingly grand London terminus for the Eurostar international train service, complete with a fine selection of cafes, restaurants and shops.
Add to that the practicality of being right in the middle of town, the security of a 24 hour concierge service, and a view of the London Eye, you really do have a fabulous pied a terre.

"Superb Accommodations in Ultra-Convenient Location"
Fantastic location! Steps away from the Tube and national and international rail! Beautiful and well-furnished apartment. All the amenities of home. 24-hour controlled access with friendly staff. This will be our only choice for future visits to London!
20 Dec 2013
"The perfect London home-away-from-home base."
With tube and train stations right there, the apartment could not be better located as a base to explore London. My wife and I stayed there with our four children. The apartment was very clean and neat and we had more than enough space for all of us. The amazing architecture, friendly doormen and super-helpful owner (Yazann) made our entire experience fabulous.
5 Nov 2013
Great apartment in a fantastic building! The apartment is clean and comfortable so it is easy to feel "at home". The open living area is nice and spaciuos where all 7 of us could have a good relax after a hectic day in London. The short booklet with general instructions was helpful as were all the guide books. Tube and buses are just outside the door so it is very easy to travel where ever you would like to go in London. Last but not least: Yaz our host was excellent to deal with trying to make the best for us. We do hope to come back!

"The best appartment in London"
We have lived in London for 10 years but wanted to rent this appartment for a few days over our wedding so we could use it for the bridal party to get ready somewhere special. It certainly has the wow factor - located in one of the most beautiful buildings in London quite aside from its convenience being by one of the main train hubs of the city. We were able to take the bridesmaids to Paris for a few days with ease because the Eurostar is right there. Beyond the beauty of the apartment was the wonderful hospitality which went above and beyond what you could reasonable expect - a guide book to the apartment and facilities, welcome food and drink, assistance with London travel for people not familiar with London. If you are looking for a holiday let in London then look no further - this apartment has everything and will make you very welcome. We will definitely rent it for friends when they come to visit us in London - we love it more than our own home!
20 Sep 2013
"Perfect! apartment, location and service!"
Amazing apartment in an amazing building right beside St Pancras and Kings Cross station so handy to everything! Yaz, our host was excellent to deal with, responded to any questions immediately. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back. Would recommend without hesitation!
5 Aug 2013
"Superb Location"
I was so excited to stay at this amazing building, in such a brilliant location, and it never disappointed me, it was fabulous!!!
The little extras, like the few groceries in the fridge, lovely coffee machine, equipped with plenty of choices of coffees, a large fresh fruit bowl. Gorgeous fluffy towels, and plenty of bathroom goodies was very much appreciated after a very very long flight.
To pop downstairs and all the underground trains right there, within minutes of the apartment, and all the wonderful new shops and restaurants right on the doorstep makes this apartment such a fabulous place to stay when you are in London. I would highly recommend this very comfortable and luxurious pad as your next place to stay when you are in London, for sure I will be using this apartment again. Thanks again Yazann, I know you will always booked out, I must make sure to book early for my next stay!!!
Kind Regards
17 Jul 2013
"A perfect London stay!"
I searched at great length to find a perfect place for our family of 5 (including 3 teens) to stay during our first visit to London and I found it! From the initial contact, Yaz was quick to answer all of my questions and was very informative. He was a pleasure to work with and to meet.
The apartment is in a beautiful old gothic building and is very pleasantly renovated while keeping some of the original details intact, such as the beautiful exposed beams. Yaz has thought of everything to make for a comfortable stay including pre-loaded Oyster cards for the tube; milk, bread and cereal for our first breakfast and a huge tea and coffee selection. The apartment is so comfortable, well appointed and very clean. The apartment is also stocked with some excellent books - take time to read about the history of the St. Pancras building and also The 5.21 to London, a personalized book about the apartment with all the info you need for your visit.
The apartment is located in the St. Pancras Chambers part of the building which puts you at very close proximity with restaurants in the St. Pancras station and the tube and Eurostar. We were so grateful for the convenient location! We can't say enough about our very positive first-time experience in London. We hope to be back and we would definitely stay here again!
Thank you!!
12 Jun 2013
"We absolutely loved the luxury and convenience of the Chambers at St. Pancras!"
The location was amazing; working with Yaz was an excellent and efficient experience! We loved the apartment and felt very relaxed and comfortable there. It was great having Oyster cards ready to go when we arrived (very considerate) and the attention to detail was much appreciated (the congratulatory bottle of Champagne was a nice touch!). We would definitely recommend this lovely apartment to friends and family!

Tampa Bay, Roy Miller not making progress on new contract

04:53 PM ET 02.11 | Defensive tackle Roy Miller is set to become an unrestricted free agent in a few weeks, and from the look of his current situation, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers aren't too worried about that fact. According to the Tampa Bay Times, the Bucs and Miller haven't seriously discussed a future contract for the former third-round pick. Free agency does not begin until March 12, so there is still a month ahead to re-sign the 25-year-old Miller. However, the lack of negotiations, or even talks at all, seems rather telling about his chances of playing in Tampa for 2013.
Progress on the contract? Looks like he ate it on third and inches.

US 6101693 A Abstract A low-temperature sinterable dielectric composition with a high dielectric constant wherein x=2-4 mol %, y=0.5-3.0 mol % and z=3-5 mol % in [95PMN-5PT]-x(PbO)-y(CaO)-z(CuO).
Claims(6) 1. A method of manufacturing a multi-layered ceramic capacitor comprising the steps of:
forming a slurry of a fine powder of a Pb-based dielectric ceramic composition; forming the slurry into a sheet form and printing a pattern of a copper internal electrode; drying and stacking said sheet on other sheets and cutting the sheets to thereby manufacture nonsintered chips; burning out organic binders of the nonsintered chips at temperatures of 280 presintering the chips in air at temperatures of 700 C.; rounding edges of the presintered chips; forming copper outer electrodes on the edge-rounded presintered chips; sintering the presintered chips in air at 810 reducing the internal electrode and outer electrode in a reduced air at a temperature of 800 performing reoxidation in air at a temperature of 400 cooling of a firing. 2. A method of manufacturing a multi-layered ceramic capacitor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the composition ratio of the slurry is dielectric powder: binder solution=64.0:36.0 in the step of forming slurry of the fine powder.
3. A method of manufacturing a multi-layered ceramic capacitor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the composition ratio of the copper paste for the internal electrode is CuO powder:binder solution=67.0:33.0 in the step of printing the pattern of the copper internal electrode.

Description Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these. Generally, in order to use a base metal such as Ni or Cu as an MLC internal electrode, such base metal must be sintered under low oxygen partial pressure, that is, a reduction atmosphere to prevent oxidation during firing. Cu has a melting point of 1,083 temperature must be less than the point by at least 50 Cu is to be used for internal electrode production. When copper is used for the internal electrode, the dielectric ceramic is in a reduction atmosphere where oxygen partial pressure is 10.sup.-3 Pa at 900 The reason why copper is selected as the material of the internal electrode is because it has a higher equilibrium oxygen partial pressure than that of base metals such as Ni, Fe and Co, and thus there is less reduction effect to the dielectric material. For the limit oxygen partial pressure at which the dielectric material is reduced, a equilibrium oxygen partial pressure where, of elements forming the dielectric material, an element easiest to be reduced has a lower valence from a higher valence, should be considered. For an MLC using copper as its internal electrode and in consideration of the dielectric's anti-reduction characteristics, the dielectric material must not be reduced until an oxygen partial pressure which is lower than copper's equilibrium oxygen partial pressure, is reached below the sintering temperature, and must also exhibit high resistivity. J. Kato reported that in case of a PMN-PT-PNW composition, excessive A-site or adding alkaline-earth metal results in anti-reduction characteristics. For excessive A-site, Pb is added excessively or Pb is replaced with Ca. Here, it is known that, Ca may be replaced by Ba or Sr, to achieve the same effects. In the present invention, excess A-site and alkaline-earth metal addition are both employed in order to guarantee that the Pb-based dielectric composition has anti-reduction characteristics. Specifically, as a reduction-resistant agent, PbO of over 2 mol % and CaO of 0.5-3.0 mol % are added to the main PMN-PT composition for its reduction-resistance. Further, as the sintering aid agent and inhibitor of pyrochlore phase formation, CuO is added to form a liquid phase due to the eutectic point of PbO--CaO--CuO, for lowering the sintering temperature and suppressing the formation of pyrochlore phase to enhance the dielectric constant. A method of manufacturing the dielectric ceramic composition of the present invention will be described below. As starting materials, reagents of PbO, MgO, Nb.sub.2 O.sub.5, TiO.sub.2 and CuO are used. For CaO when added in minute amounts, CaCO.sub.3 is used for the purpose of uniform mixing. First, after the starting materials are made into a powder and dried for 12 hours at 120 centrifugal planetary mill with a zirconia ball and jar. MgO and Nb.sub.2 O.sub.5 are mixed and calcined at 1,100-1,200 columbite precursor (MgNb.sub.2 O.sub.6). This precursor is reacted with PbO at 900 Nb.sub.2/3)O.sub.3 (hereinafter, refer to as PMN). PbTiO.sub.3 is made by mixing PbO and TiO.sub.2 by 1:1 ratio and calcining this mixture at 800 of firing is 300 The two main compositions described above are mixed at a ratio of PMN:PT=95:5 and dried while PbO of 2-4 mol%, CaO of 0.5-3 mol % and CuO of 3-5 mol % are added thereto. The resultant is calcined for two hours at 750-850 two hours. Then, PVA binder of 2 wt % is added thereto, and disk specimens of 10 mm in diameter and 1.2mm in thickness are formed. These specimens are sintered at 810-1,100 at 800 a reduction atmosphere as a cooling process. Ag paste is coated on both sides of the specimens, and then fired for ten minutes at 600 under N.sub.2 atmosphere, to form electrodes. The completed specimens are measured using an LCR meter and high resistance meter after charged for one minute, under the conditions of a capacitance of 1 KHz, a dissipation factor of 1 V.sub.rms at normal temperature (20 following table 1 shows examples of those compositions and their dielectric properties.

As shown in Table 1, it is noted that anti-reduction characteristics of over 10 .sup.10 Ω obtained only with the addition of CaO of 0.5 wt %. However, when CaO of 1.0 wt % is added, the dielectric constant is decreased, anti-reduction characteristics are increased, and sintering temperature is reduced. Meanwhile, the sintering temperature is lowered to 810 addition of PbO and CuO. In case that a large amount (over 3 mol %) of them is added, it is noted that the dielectric constant and insulation resistance are slightly reduced. An MLC using such a dielectric ceramic composition will be described below. Referring to FIG. 1, an MLC of the present invention comprises a dielectric layer 1, internal electrode 2, and outer electrode 3. For dielectric layer 1, composition [95PMN-5PT]-4(PbO)-5(CaO)-3(CuO) is selected among compositions having excellent dielectric characteristics of the aforementioned anti-reduction composition. The mixing method for the composition is the same as aforementioned. The mixed powder is pulverized for two hours into a fine powder of below 1 μm in average particle diameter. Slurry is made in order to cast the fine powder as a thick film for MLC. The composition ratio of the slurry is dielectric powder: binder solution=64.0:36 The binder solution is one of the polyvinylbutyral group and for the solvent media, a solvent system is used in which toluene and ethanol are mixed in a ratio of 15 wt %:85 wt %, respectively. Here, for the plasticizer, di-n-butyl phthalate of approximately 0.2 wt % is added. The volume ratio of the dielectric powder of the slurry is about 55 vol %. The slurry is used to make a 30 μm-thick sheet on a PE film by the doctor-blade method. For the starting materials of paste for manufacturing copper internal electrode 2, CuO powder of 1 μm in diameter is used. For outer electrode 3, CuO powder of coarse particles having diameters of 3-5μm is used. As the organic binder solution, Vehicle #424 (Electro-Science Lab., U.S.A) is used. The composition ratio of the CuO paste for the internal electrode is CuO powder: binder solution=67.0:33 Here, the final viscosity of the paste is controlled with turpentine oil. Internal electrode 2 is printed using an MLC pattern for 1206 size (EIA STD size; L=0.12 inch, w=0.06 inch) which is a standard size, with a stainless 400-mesh screen. The printed sheet is dried for four hours at 80 C. and then stacked to form six active dielectric layers. The result is isostatic-pressed under a pressure of 4,000 psi, and cut into chips with an automatic dicing saw. These unsintered green chips are put into an oven to burn out the organic binder therefrom. The organic binder burn-out and presintering temperatures are illustrated in FIG. 2. The present invention is characterized in having a presintering process during firing. With such a presintering, first, the unsintered chips have adequate mechanical strength in order to perform an edge rounding or harperizing process for attaching the CuO paste used for outer electrodes prior to the main sintering. Secondly, the presintering prevents damage or fine cracks due to external impacts. Thirdly, carbon residues of the organic binder or CaCO.sub.3 can be removed as completely as possible, preventing the insulation resistance from being reduced due to reduction sintering. During edge rounding of the chips prior to sintering, productivity can be drastically improved as the rounding time can be reduced to 10-20 minutes from the conventionally required 2-6 hours because of ceramic of the presintering having a low strength. In addition, the chips are polished in a soft state, nearly eliminating possible chipping of the edges as compared with a conventional method in which polishing is done on the hardened chips after sintering, thus improving chip yield. The presintered chips with their edges polished are ultrasonically washed, and CuO paste is attached thereto in order to form outer electrode 3. This CuO paste for the outer electrode is structured to be slightly porous in order to minimize the stress to the ceramic main body during sintering. For adhesion to the ceramic main body, CuO powder of 3-5 μm is used which is more coarse than the CuO paste for the internal electrodes. A small amount (2.5 wt %) of dielectric powder is added to match the dielectric ceramic during sintering. The composition ratio of the CuO paste for outer electrode of the present invention is CuO powder:binder solution:dielectric powder=72.0:25.5:2.5. In the CuO paste compositions for internal and outer electrodes of the present invention, the CuO powder can be sufficiently sintered by a reactive sintering mechanism within the desired range of sintering temperature according to the present invention. For this reason, additives such as glass frits to aid the sintering process are not required. The presintered chips with the outer electrode attached thereto are sintered in a furnace of reduction atmosphere. The mounting structure of the specimens is as shown in FIG. 3. These specimens are mounted in a mullite setter with application of calcination powder having the same composition as that of the specimen. Referring to FIG. 4, a reduction firing furnace system of the present invention controls oxygen partial pressure at 800 temperature was determined by a stabilized zirconia oxygen sensor in which yttria of 6 mol % was added, using a miniaturized cell furnace and 800 the main composition of the present invention is PbO and thus the function of the sensor is deteriorated due to the reaction of the Pt electrode attached to the oxygen sensor with the slight amount of oxygen PbO evaporated during sintering, to disable precise control of oxygen partial pressure. Thus oxygen partial pressure control of the present invention contributes to the elongation of the life span of the oxygen sensor. The gas mixed in the miniaturized cell fuace is supplied to the main firing furnace. In the present invention, the mixed gas used for oxygen partial pressure control is H.sub.2 --N.sub.2 --H.sub.2 O. Here, Ni-chrome wire is wound around the connection gases to maintain the temperature thereof above 100 condensation of the pipes caused by cooling when the oxygen partial pressure controlled mixed gas passes to the sintering furnace. A sintering process used in the present invention is shown in FIG. 5. The following table 2 shows the dielectric characteristics of the MLC specimen having a copper internal electrode sintered by the firing process of the present invention.

This is because the CuO diffused to the dielectric layer in the soaking temperature range is partially reduced during reduction, thereby lowering the overall dielectric insulation resistance. Therefore, after internal electrode reduction, the present invention is reoxidated at in for two hours around 400 temperature for cooling, for enhancing insulation characteristics. The dielectric properties of the copper internal electrode MLC manufactured by the abovementioned method will be shown in the following table 3.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a multi-layered ceramic capacitor of the present invention; FIG. 2 shows the temperature profiles during an organic binder burn-out and presintering of the present invention; FIG. 3 shows an illustration of specimens loading during sintering of the present invention; FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a reduction atmosphere firing system of the present invention; and FIG. 5 shows firing temperatures profile of the present invention. The present invention relates to a low temperature sinterable dielectric composition with a high dielectric constant, a multi-layered ceramic capacitor using the same, and a manufacturing method therefor, and more particularly, to a dielectric composition having a high dielectric constant, anti-reduction characteristics and low-temperature sinterability, a multi-layered ceramic capacitor having a copper internal electrode using the composition, and a manufacturing method therefor. Recently, along with the high-density integration of electronic components and circuits of high frequencies, capacitors have been required to have larger capacitance and be more miniature in size. This increases the demand for multi-layered ceramic capacitors (hereinafter refer to as MLCs). The miniaturized size and higher density of MLC requires its dielectric film to be thinner and more stacked, and to have a higher dielectric constant. Accordingly, the biasing and signal voltage characteristics of the dielectric material must be improved against the deterioration of dielectric characteristics caused by the usage of a low-cost internal electrode and thin-film construction. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to reduce the fabrication cost of a high-capacitance multi-layered MLC and to enhance its dielectric characteristics using a low-cost internal electrode and a dielectric ceramic composition of high dielectric constant. In order to accomplish the object of the present invention, there is provided a low-temperature dielectric composition with a high dielectric constant and anti-reduction characteristics, and a method of fabricating an MLC with a copper internal electrode using the composition.

Spatial Structure and Diffusive Dynamics from Single-Particle Trajectories Using Spline Analysis Biophysical Journal, Volume 98, Issue 8, 21 April 2010, Pages 1712-1721 Brian R. Long and Tania Q. Vu Abstract Single-particle tracking of biomolecular probes has provided a wealth of information about intracellular trafficking and the dynamics of proteins and lipids in the cell membrane. Conventional mean-square displacement (MSD) analysis of single-particle trajectories often assumes that probes are moving in a uniform environment. However, the observed two-dimensional motion of probe particles is influenced by the local three-dimensional geometry of the cell membrane and intracellular structures, which are rarely flat at the submicron scale. This complex geometry can lead to spatially confined trajectories that are difficult to analyze and interpret using conventional two-dimensional MSD analysis. Here we present two methods to analyze spatially confined trajectories: spline-curve dynamics analysis, which extends conventional MSD analysis to measure diffusive motion in confined trajectories; and spline-curve spatial analysis, which measures spatial structures smaller than the limits of optical resolution. We show, using simulated random walks and experimental trajectories of quantum dot probes, that differences in measured two-dimensional diffusion coefficients do not always reflect differences in underlying diffusive dynamics, but can instead be due to differences in confinement geometries of cellular structures.

Atomically Detailed Simulations of Helix Formation with the Stochastic Difference Equation Biophysical Journal, Volume 85, Issue 5, 1 November 2003, Pages 2919-2939 Alfredo E. Cárdenas and Ron Elber Abstract An algorithm is described to compute approximate classical trajectories as a boundary value problem with an integration step in the arc length. High-frequency motions are filtered out when a large integration step is used, maintaining the stability of the algorithm. At the limit of high filtering (large steps), but still offering an accurate description of the continuous path, the trajectory approaches the steepest descent path (SDP). The steepest descent path is widely used as a reaction coordinate in chemical systems. At intermediate step sizes, some inertial motions remain, interpolating between reaction coordinates and exact classical trajectories. Numerical studies of spatial and energetic properties of meta-trajectories are carried out. Two systems are considered here: valine dipeptide and the folding of a small helical protein. Although thermodynamic properties of meta-trajectories are affected by the filtering, the ordering of events remains similar for substantial differences in trajectory resolution.

Neural Dynamics of Reaching following Incorrect or Absent Motor Preparation Neuron, Volume 81, Issue 2, 22 January 2014, Pages 438-451 K. Cora Ames, Stephen I. Ryu and Krishna V. Shenoy Summary Moving is thought to take separate preparation and execution steps. During preparation, neural activity in primary motor and dorsal premotor cortices achieves a state specific to an upcoming action but movements are not performed until the execution phase. We investigated whether this preparatory state (more precisely, prepare-and-hold state) is required for movement execution using two complementary experiments. We compared monkeys' neural activity during delayed and nondelayed reaches and in a delayed reaching task in which the target switched locations on a small percentage of trials. Neural population activity bypassed the prepare-and-hold state both in the absence of a delay and if the wrong reach was prepared. However, the initial neural response to the target was similar across behavioral conditions. This suggests that the prepare-and-hold state can be bypassed if needed, but there is a short-latency preparatory step that is performed prior to movement even without a delay.

This paper shows how Brownian motion theory can be used to analyze features of individual ion trajectories in channels as calculated by molecular dynamics, and that its use permits more precise determinations of diffusion coefficients than would otherwise be possible. We also show how a consideration of trajectories of single particles can distinguish between effects due to the magnitude of the diffusion coefficient and effects due to barriers and wells in the potential profile, effects which can not be distinguished by consideration of average fluxes.

USEF Announces Developing Driving Program (DDP)
RELEASE: January 21, 2014
AUTHOR/ADMINISTRATOR: USEF Communications Department
Lexington, Ky.
- The USEF launched a pilot "high performance" training program in 2012/2013 with approximately twenty drivers attending one or more clinics held in Kentucky, Florida, and North Carolina. Since there are limited training opportunities for driving at the USEF/FEI levels, the opportunity to train with an International Four-in-Hand driver and coach was overwhelmingly positive. To further this program, it is the intention of the USEF to roll out the 2014 Developing Driver Program (DDP) in a more formal manner by disseminating information to the driving community as to the locations and eligibility for the clinics contemplated.
Venues for clinics will be chosen in locations around the country that have a significant number of CDE participants as well as facilities to best train drivers competing at the USEF/FEI levels. The first 2014 clinic is scheduled for February 28 - March 2, to be held at The Grand Oaks, Weirsdale, Florida. Thorston Zarembowicz will be the clinician. The second clinic is being planned for March 29 -31, at the Sargeant Equestrian Center, Lodi, California, wtih Carola Diener-Slater and William Slater serving as the clinicians.
Eligible drivers must be USEF members. Applicants must have successfully completed CDE's and have performance goals to compete at Intermediate and Advanced levels. Junior drivers who have competed at Preliminary level and who have demonstrated talent and dedication may be given special consideration in receiving invitations. Drivers are encouraged to express their interest in participating by contacting the USEF Director of Driving Elizabeth Staller, at
, with a summary of their competitive accomplishments along with a letter of recommendation. Participation will be by invitation.
The USEF, in conjunction with an individual grant, will cover the clinician fees, clinician expenses, and venue use fees. Drivers will be responsible for their own transportation and lodging, as well as a $35 participation fee. It is hoped that additional funds may become available through private donors to support this program and broaden its scope. Sponsorship opportunities can also be made through the USEF Director of Driving. As the program develops, there will be opportunities for USEF members to make a bid to hold a clinic at their facility, so long as the participants meet the above referenced criteria.
