Unconventional Potential
Thick marine siltstone to mudstone formations are common to most sedimentary basins around the world. These thick marine sections are also sometimes associated with high amounts of organic carbon particles, which "cook" into hydrocarbons when subjected to pressure and heat. Examples of these source rocks are found in many parts of North America, including the Barnett of Texas, the Utica formation in Quebec and the Horn River source rock of NE British Columbia.
Up to 600 Meters Thick
The Whangai Formation is a poorly bedded, siliceous or slightly calcareous mudstone of Late Cretaceous age, with localized development of greensand and well bedded calcareous facies. The formation is 300 to 600m thick throughout much of the onshore East Coast Basin. The Whangai has an average TOC of 0.8% in the western, onshore sub-belt, with maximum measured values of 1.7% TOC and 336 HI. Although its TOC content is lower than the Waipawa, the Whangai Formation has been geochemically linked to many onshore oil and gas seeps, validating its potential as an unconventional reservoir. In addition, the Formation is heavily fractured, providing both increased reserve potential as well as natural pathways to enhance flow rates. The fact that the Formation is typically some twenty times thicker than the overlying Waipawa formation adds immensely to the potential of its overall oil and gas generation.

Interesting...Great concept, especially if you have disparate teams and no TFS expertise on staff. Sure beats using VSS remotely with an expert on staff.
Off the cuff, this is way too expensive. Have a look, it might be what you are looking for.

So….I've got a little catching up to do. I'll be honest with you…I've just crawled into bed after a great night out, full of salsa dancing :-) I'm currently sipping on a hot cuppa and typing up this post as I lost the first version of this when my laptop decided to play up. Anyway, on Friday, as I was munching on my fruit, I thought to myself….why not make every Friday a FRUITY FRIDAY!? I thought it would be a great idea to come up with a fruit based recipe every Friday in keeping with one of my New Years goals to eat more fruit.
And then I got to thinking….why delay? Lets make today a fruity Friday to get the ball rolling! And this is what I came up with….VERY BERRY VEGAN DONUTS
These mini donuts are bursting to the brim with antioxidants from the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and dark choc chips.
– 1/3rd cup coconut flour and 1/3rd cup brown rice flour
– 1 tbsp chia seeds, soaked
– tbsp coconut oil
– 1 cup mixed berries, pureed
– 1 tbsp coconut oil
– a sprinkling of vegan choc chips
Sleep is calling ……………..zzzzzzzzzzzz

- Beyond the genome
Beyond the genome
Fera scientist Richard Thwaites has recently returned from a visit to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Washington, with whom Fera is building a collaboration to use state-of-the-art genome sequencing for tracing the source of microbial contaminants that are spread through the food supply chain.
Richard and Fera bioinformatician Robert Stones were also invited to join a meeting of international experts in genomic analysis of food-borne pathogens, with the aim of establishing a global system for detection of food-borne disease outbreaks using shared genome data.
Protecting the UK's food chain is a vital part of Fera's work, but the laboratory has a truly global remit and Fera's collaboration with the FDA continues this. In addition the organisations share an annual symposium, alternately held at Fera in York and in Washington D.C, to further harness and share their skillsets and knowledge.
For more information on Fera's work in this area, contact email@example.com

Xbox 360 sales are actually increasing, six years in
Microsoft's Xbox 360 was released six long years ago, so one would expect it to be reaching the end of its lifespan with sales starting to drop off. That's not the case: new sales data shows that Xbox 360 sales are strong than they've ever been.
Yes, sales are actually increasing for the console, thanks to price drops and new baubbles such as the Kinect. It also doesn't hurt that their main competitor just went through some of the worst PR possible with the PSN hack.
What this data means for us gamers is that we probably shouldn't expect a next-gen Xbox for a while. Unless the new Nintendo console, which is due next year, suddenly kills Microsoft's mojo, they have no real reason to go through the extremely expensive undertaking of launching a new console. Ah well. The reason the Xbox is still selling so well is because, well, it's not showing its age too much. Until something seems like it needs to be replaced, why replace it?

A tooth abscess is a collection of infected material (pus) in the center of a tooth. It is due to bacterial infection.
Periapical abscess; Dental abscess; Tooth infection; Abscess - tooth
A tooth abscess is a complication of tooth decay. It may also occur when a tooth is broken or chipped. Openings in the tooth enamel allow bacteria to infect the center of the tooth (the pulp). Infection may spread from the root of the tooth to the bones supporting the tooth.
Infection results in a collection of pus and tissue swelling within the tooth. This causes a painful toothache. The toothache may stop if the pulp of the tooth dies unless an abscess develops. The infection can remain active and continue to spread causing more pain and destroying tissue.
The main symptom is a severe toothache. The pain is continuous. It can be described as gnawing, sharp, shooting, or throbbing.
Other symptoms may include:
The dentist will closely look at your teeth, mouth, and gums. You may have pain when the dentist taps the tooth. Biting or closing the mouth tightly also increases the pain. The gums may be swollen and red and may drain thick material.
Dental x-rays and other tests can help your dentist determine which tooth or teeth are causing the problem.
The goals of treatment are to cure the infection, save the tooth, and prevent complications.
Antibiotics may be given to fight the infection. Warm salt-water rinses may help ease the pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers may relieve the toothache and fever.
Do NOT place aspirin directly over the tooth or gums. This increases irritation of the tissues and can result in mouth ulcers.
A root canal may be recommended in an attempt to save the tooth.
If there is a severe infection, the tooth may be removed, or surgery may be needed to drain the abscess. Some people may need to be admitted to the hospital.
Untreated abscesses may get worse and can lead to life-threatening complications.
Prompt treatment cures the infection in most cases. The tooth can often be saved.
Call your dentist if you have a throbbing toothache that does not go away.
Prompt treatment of dental caries reduces the risk of tooth abscess. Broken or chipped teeth should be examined right away by the dentist.

This is my first mask from LUSH. It's a good mask if you have combination to oily skin. It helps with oil control and really makes the skin feel clean. It smells like chocolate mint. The mask is a little difficult to spread on my face and can leave lumps. It feels nice on the skin and has a cooling effect. It gets pretty messy when I'm washing it off but my skin looks better after I use it. As for it helping with acne, I don't notice it helping. I get pimples sometimes but when I use this mask when my face is breaking out it doesn't do anything to my acne. It's still a good mask though.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It's no miracle. Didn't prevent my oiliness much. Didn't prevent or cause any breakouts. Only, after using this i felt a little more fresh and clean than the times when I only use cleanser. It does smell amazing, but a little too solid so it is hard to put on.
I think it is overpriced for what it does, in my country at least.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this product! Whenever I go into Lush I always come out with something and a remembered hearing a blogger raving about the fresh mask in Love lettuce. So I decided to give the masks a try. The people in lush are so lovely and come up to you instantly and help you in a non pushy manner. The best way to describe my skin would be oily with the occasion blemish if I don't combat the oils. The lady recommended cupcake which is good considering its the one I was gravitated to due to my love of chocolate. She said its good for teenage skin. Oily and spotty however not brilliant for acne prone skin as the cocoa can irritate it. I have tried it three times now and every time my skin looks brighter, matter and any blemishes appear less red and large. When washing the mask off I recommend using large circular motions and using it as a light scrub. I use it three times a week. I wouldn't recommend it if you have acne bi for combating oily skin, it's perfect.
The shopkeeper recommended Love Lettuce or Cupcake, and I chose to buy the latter because the idea of chocolate and everything sweet appealed to me. This mask however was disappointing overall. It helped a little with the oil, merely taking the shine off my face. As for blemish healing wise, there was no effect. The smell is really strong and nauseating. It doesn't smell like chocolate, but a rather gagging rubbery stench. I guess I'm not the only one since my sister always complained about smelling it from across the house. I guess I'll try Love Lettuce next.
Lush masks are most definatly my favorite masks to use, and Cupcake is simply delicious. This was actually the first one I had ever tried and that was seven years ago! Still love it even though my skin has changed since then. It smells incredible, of course. When rinsed off, my skin is left clean, smoothe, and bright. I usually massage it in circles when rinsing for a bit of exfoliation. Just a perfect pick me up mask when your skin feels a bit congested. I'd highly recommend.
I LOVE this mask. It changed my skin. I have oily/combo skin and it sucks up the grease, evens out texture and colour and makes you generally glowy. I live for this mask.
Plus, it smells like you could eat it.
More reviews by postmoderngirl
This is the first mask from LUSH I've tried, and I thought it'd be perfect for my skin type (combination-oily / blemished) but it really didn't do anything for me. I loved the smell of it, and it made me feel like I was at a spa. It felt nice on, but that was about it. I didn't notice any changes in blemishes or anything.. I actually prefer my clay masks from the drugstore. I might try another LUSH mask, but I wouldn't repurchase this one.
I used to live around a Lush store, so that we would always go in with my friend. They can be pretty pushy there on all 'natural' products. I have by doubts being that most of their bath bombs have glitter and face masks smell like additives. Anyway, it is nice to go in and feel pampered while the sales representatives go through the motions. No one can force you to purchase anything.
I used to get the face masks, as they are some of the cheapest store products. I like that the small tub will last you longer than one bath bomb for $6. I got the cupcake mask after requesting face products for acne prone skin with oily areas.
Cupcake mask looks like mud and smells like red velvet cake. I love the feeling of it on your face. And the smell just makes you feel like you are in a spa. I can say that it dried out my pimples and made my skin better. However, I don't find it works better than other face masks I reviewed. And it has more additives and 'flavors'. It is drying, which is what I was going for.
Lush says that the mask lasts up to 2 weeks. If you keep it in the refrigerator, you can use it for 1-3 months for the $5-6/tub.
Overall, this is not my HG product. I prefer Queen Helene masks more. But it is nice to switch it up. I would probably repurchase if I lived close by and felt like having a girl's night. I might get another so-called 'flavor' though. Just stick with the drying ones for oily or combo skin. Otherwise, most of them work very similarly.

After a shower i applied this before bed, left for around 20 mins then rinsed off, skin felt beautiful and dry for once!.. but woke up in the morning with really oily skin :( so I've started using this 2 hours before I get ready to go out, do some ironing or whatever while you wait! but thats the way I get the best out the product! no having to use blotting paper when out, Great stuff! :)
before I begin, i have a feeling i got a defective product
firstly, this does not smell like chocolate , maybe it was just mine but it smelled like honey instead.
also i have acne prone skin, and i did not see ANY results. i had high hopes for this one, im looking to try cosemetic warrior next. crossed fingers for this one !
once again maybe i got a defective one , but i would get a sample before purchasing

The part of Primary that has stuck with me the most over the years is the songs. If I am looking for answers or having a hard day, often I will receive comfort from a Primary song running through my head.
I want to give my children (ages 2 and 5) the same blessing. I want to get as many Primary songs and hymns into their heads as possible before they grow up and go their own ways.
This year in January, the idea came to me that we could focus on one song each month this year. We took a few minutes during a Family Home Evening to come up with a list of songs we'd like to focus on this year, with suggestions from everyone. The kids suggested a few songs that they already know, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to review them and learn additional verses. My two-year-old now knows three verses of "I Am a Child of God."
We sing the songs during Family Home Evenings, every night when we do scripture study and prayer, and before naps and bedtime. The kids soak up the songs like sponges and learn the words within a week.
Here are some resources to help you choose and teach songs in your home:
- 2012 Outline for Sharing Time (this would help you reinforce at home the songs being taught in Primary this year)
- Interactive Church Music Player (see most of the Hymns and Primary songs; play them; transpose them; print them)
- Download recordings of Church songs
- Learn Primary songs in sign language
- Download additional music published in Church magazines

Video: Black Moth Super Rainbow- Hairspray Heart
Posted by Moses Wiener
Tobacco, Iffernaut, Ryan Graveface, Bullsmear, and the Seven Fields of Aphelion aka Black Moth Super Rainbow released album number 5 a couple weeks ago, entitled 'Cobra Juicy'. That sentence alone might be enough to dissuade people from, for one thing actually caring enough to commit the band name to memory, but also to take them seriously. Kind of like 'The 80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster' or '...And They Will Know Us From The Trail Of Dead'; you best have the goods to back such etymological absurdity. Thankfully, they do. Then again, this is their fifth album, so I suppose I'm speaking in aid of people who, like me, only encountered these guys recently. Their current palette sits neatly amongst Tame Impala, Death In Vegas, Broadcast, and older Air stuff, as well as probably having appeal for girls that get a hard-on every time they hear 'Nightcall'.
The unofficial video below for 'Hairspray Heart' by Johnny Rockwell may just be another stock-footaged clump of Americana, but it does the job. In fact, he also put together other videos for 'I Think I'm Evil' and 'Dreamsicle Bomb' using the same formula and guess what? They work too, so I've thrown them in for good measure.
If you like what you hear, check the rest of the album yo.

Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average may surpass 10,300 after its chart formed a so-called double bottom, according to Mizuho Securities Co.
Japan's Topix index dropped in thin trading, reversing earlier gains, as paper companies and brokerages led the decline.
Japanese stocks advanced, erasing earlier declines, as exporters rebounded after the yen weakened. Shares earlier followed U.S. stocks lower amid continued concern about the potential for tighter monetary conditions in the world's largest economy.
Japan's Topix index fell for a fifth day, capping its longest losing streak in six months, as the yen rose and China's trade data unexpectedly fell.
Japanese shares fell, with the Topix index dropping for the first time in three days, weighed down by earnings results that disappointed investors.
Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average has defied chart watchers by gaining 11 percent since Feb. 14, even as a technical measure of momentum signaled prices would drop the last month. Gains may continue, if history is any guide.
"Stocks will stop falling for now."

A balanced budget for an innovative economy
Friday, February 22, 2013
But by making tough, fiscally responsible choices, we have been able to balance the budget while making critical investments to put New Hampshire back on the path to a strong and innovative economic future.
It takes steps to strengthen our public safety infrastructure, restoring funding for the Children in Need of Services (CHINS) Program, putting 15 more state troopers on the road and allowing us to continue operating three drug task force teams. And it begins to repair our fractured mental health system by investing in community-based services that keep people, and their communities, safe.
With Massachusetts moving forward, we can no longer pretend that expanded gambling isn't coming to our communities. It is, and if we don't act, revenues from New Hampshire's residents will fund Massachusetts's needs.

GoingOutGuide Bars & Clubs

Derek Brown and his older brother Tom have almost 40 years of bartending experience between them: most recently, the two have won acclaim at the Gibson and Cork, respectively. But except for a few private events, they have never worked at the same bar.
Until mid-November, that is, when the Browns will transform the bar at the Warehouse Theater (1021 Seventh St. NW) into the Passenger, a neighborhood bar and lounge. "I think that Derek and I have always wanted to do something together -- it was just finding the right place," Tom says. "There have been fits and starts, and it took a while, but now it's not us working together for someone else."
The Warehouse Theater is undergoing a big transformation. The bigger-than-a-black-box theater is moving its entrance around the corner, Civilian Art Projects is moving onto the block and there are plans to turn the former Warehouse Next Door concert space into a jazz club and restaurant. But what's grabbing attention from local cocktail fiends is the Passenger, which will combine a laid-back saloon with an upscale, reservations-suggested cocktail sanctuary.
The Passenger will keep the Warehouse's Seventh Street entrance, so if you've been to a show there, you'll recognize the room -- a large, deep rectangle of a space with a prominent skylight. A bar with 15 stools runs down one wall. The space isn't finished yet, but plans call for large booths (for eight to 10 people each) in the pair of nooks by the front door, which should allow for great people-watching through the plate glass windows. There will be more diner-style booths hugging the walls, and "transportation-themed decor," including a display of photographs by local artists on the exposed brick walls, and a dining room styled after a train's dining car, with an arched ceiling and mirrors in gilt frames.
Tom Brown will be behind the bar most nights, serving up a variety of beers in cans (no bottles), four drafts and more than two dozen wines by the glass. Intriguingly, there won't be a cocktail list -- customers can just say "I like bitter-ish gin drinks" or "I'm in the mood for a bourbon drink" and get a made-to-taste drink. (Tom ran the bar at Cork without a drink menu for years, working from the same principle that giving people a list of a drink's ingredients is more likely to turn them off than get them excited.) He's also planning to sell pitchers of cocktails that will change seasonally.
But it's the Columbia Room that should generate the most interest among the cocktail lovers of D.C. when it opens in early 2010. Derek refers to the storage room-turned-bar as a "cocktail club and laboratory bar," where he'll lead small classes and offer a couple of seatings a night for customers who want "a different level" of interaction with a bartender as he makes their drinks. "I was really inspired by Japanese bars," he says. "I like that level of service for people who are really into their cocktails."
Also, he plans to keep the drinks relatively simple, using just five different spirits, a dozen mixers and a selection of homemade bitters and ingredients. "Instead of textures and foams, it's about using technique and flavors to see how you can make the best possible cocktail," he says.
It's a split that allows both brothers to show off their best sides. "We both want people to leave happy," Derek says. "We just have different approaches. Tom's happy slinging beers. I labor over cocktails. They're totally different worlds. At the main bar, it's beer and Motorhead. In the Columbia Room, it'll be about cocktails."
Or, as Tom puts it, "If you want an expensive cocktail, go see Derek. If you want to have a good time, hang out [at the main bar]."
Actually, some drinks shouldn't be too expensive -- the Browns say prices at the main bar will top out at $9 for cocktails and wines will be between $5 and $15. "They're not just cheap wines," Tom says. "They have to be legit, wines that I'd be proud to put in front of anyone."
There are plans for events like wine tastings and BYO nights, and every week, the main bar will host happy hour with a percentage of proceeds going to charity. (Derek also works for Share Our Strength, which provides food for needy children.)
Stay tuned for more news on the opening, which should happen within the next two weeks.

BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) -- The United States will work harder to help settle a 20-year territorial conflict between the ex-Soviet republics of Azerbaijan and Armenia, a U.S. diplomat said Thursday.
The two countries both claim the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, which has a population mostly of Armenians but is located within Azerbaijan.
U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Bryza, visiting Azerbaijan's capital Baku on Thursday, said it was more important than ever now to resolve the dispute, after Russia's war last month with Georgia.
"The recent events in Georgia underscore the importance of a timely resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," said Bryza, who has been the chief U.S. mediator to end the conflict in the region. "This is well understood in Washington and is the reason for my visit this week."
Bryza told a news conference that "the United States strongly supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
The region has been under control of ethnic Armenian forces since a six-year conflict during the waning years of the Soviet Union. Some 30,000 people were killed and about 1 million were driven from their homes before a cease-fire was reached in 1994.
Gunfire breaks out regularly near Nagorno-Karabakh, and without resolution on the region's status many fear a new war.

The SANParks Research Report 2012
Back to all news
Date: 21st August 2013
The South African National Parks (SANParks) recently published its Research Report for 2012.
The report was inspired by an earlier assessment of selected research achievements in SANParks for the period 2008 to 2011. The objective was to reflect on our achievements as well as to showcase the (scope of) research conducted within the organisation, with particular emphasis on 2012; this is actually the first time such an annual research report has been produced within SANParks.
Contributions were solicited from throughout Scientific Services, with far many more received than were able to be accommodated (which is in itself a reflection of the scope and diversity of our research).
The report does not intend to be an all-encompassing break-down of the research carried out, but rather attempts to highlight the scope and function of the research undertaken, how this research underpins the management of the SANParks estate, the burgeoning focus on social-ecological research, and the people involved (including external collaborators and research partners), their objectives and the challenges facing them.

Screening potential buyers is especially important when you don't want your employees to know the shop is for sale. A broker can guarantee that only serious buyers will visit your site and can ensure they'll sign confidentiality agreements before those visits.
Is the cloak-and-dagger routine necessary? Absolutely, the experts concur. "No one else in the company needs to know you're looking for a buyer," Lipman says. "There is no advantage to telling the employees beforehand." Tell them, he says, and you risk seeing them jump ship, possibly taking important customers or suppliers with them. Even if they stay, they'll be understandably antsy about the future and distracted from their work.
"If I'd told my staff members, their anxiety would not have been good for the business and I'd have less to sell," Lautens says. "So I waited until I could tell them I'd sold it to a great guy."
Oziran once sold a business to one of his employees and knew he was taking a risk. "If I had found out he didn't want to buy or couldn't, I couldn't have stopped him from letting word get around that I was selling," Oziran says. He suggests sellers who want to take this risky route protect themselves by investigating the employee's finances and interest in entrepreneurship as thoroughly as possible before broaching the subject.
Merkin says this closed-mouth policy should extend to suppliers and others outside the company, as well. "If they've been depending on you and you tell them you want to sell, they'll be less likely to rely on you, and there goes your business's value."
Finally, Sanders cautions business owners against indulging in the fantasy that they can sell the business for a heap of cash and retire to a beach somewhere. He finds that about three-quarters of the transactions listed in Bizcomps involve some form of seller financing. "People need to get rid of the idea that somebody's going to walk in and cash them out," he says. One important effect of seller financing is that it encourages the seller to stick around and provide training and other consultation services while the new owners get going, which helps keep the business successful.
But, as Lautens found, hanging around can spark a new round of fun. "I'm doing the framing I love," she says happily, "and I have none of the worries of business ownership."

BAGHDAD -- Delays in the construction of a new pipeline for Shell Majnoon oilfield in Iraq are threatening to stall production at the field for at least three months, which would lead to it missing its 2012 target of 175,000 bopd.
"A key concern...remains the uncertain delivery of the first commercial production pipeline," Reuters cited the official letter sent by Shell' s managing director of Majnoon as saying.
Shell has requested Iraq' s South Oil Company to review its proposal to start retrieving costs by the end of the year in case Iraq fails to provide an export route to handle Majnoon' s output, the report cited the document as saying.
An unnamed senior Iraqi oil ministry official acknowledged pipeline progress was slow, though he said Shell was also behind on development at Majnoon to boost output, the report said. Requests for comment from Shell weren' t answered, the report added.

The squeeze is on. Maybe you've felt it if you are an office worker. The boss nowadays barely gives you desk space for the computer, writes columnist David Roeder in Grid.
"Forget about your favorite lamp or the pictures from last year's fishing trip. And you might find yourself in tighter proximity to your co-workers, to the point where you know a little too much about their personal business. Companies are compressing the workplace, especially in high-demand urban areas such as Chicago. The trend is starting to show up in the statistics for office usage — not that landlords have any reason to panic."

"This is the first of a new generation of robotic systems used for materials transportation in the health-care environment," said Eric Kunz, executive director of corporate support services for the OSU Health System. "The robots capitalize and expand on the health system's designation as one of the 'Most Wired' in the country. We are the first hospital to install such a complete application of wireless communication technology that also supports other patient-care processes."
Thousands of pounds of meals, medications, bed linens, surgical supplies and trash are moved through OSU Medical Center each day, and the new $18 million automated transport system has taken the movement of these materials to new technological heights. The system was the lowest-cost alternative to replace an antiquated overhead transport system original to the hospital buildings, and includes a seven-year return on investment.
"Forty-six self-guided robotic vehicles make up to 3,000 trips each day throughout the hospital, creating a safer, healthier workplace for employees. Best of all, the system shaves critical minutes from supply deliveries to patient floors, freeing up staff to interact with patients and visitors," said Rosalind Parkinson, administrative director for materiel systems at the medical center. "It's like back-stage Disney come alive in a hospital environment."
The robots use their own dedicated elevators for 11 floors – freeing up public and staff elevators and improving wait times for patients, staff and visitors. Rarely visible to patients and visitors, the robots provide access to patient floors, the operating rooms, environmental services, central sterile storage, dietetics, the pharmacy and the trash dock.
"In addition to innovation in research, education and patient care, OSU Medical Center is a pioneer in developing inventive ways to perform important tasks that take place behind the scenes," said Peter Geier, interim CEO of the OSU Health System. "This integrated system, developed and used by employee groups whose paths rarely crossed before, is a model for the American hospital industry."
The medical center's robotic system initiative was led by Schooley Caldwell Associates of Columbus using a group of consultants that included a system design team from The Schachinger Group of Fairfax, Va., on-site project management from Synergent of Pickerington, Ohio, and Chalfant, Pa.-based FMC Technologies software and robots.
The Ohio State University Medical Center this summer was named for the fifth consecutive year to the list of the nation's 100 "Most Wired" hospitals and health systems, a designation referring to the inventive use of wireless and Internet technologies to connect with patients, physicians, nurses, payors, health plans and vendors. The list appears in the July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks, the journal of the American Hospital Association.
Please see accompanying fact sheet for additional transport system details.
Ohio State University Medical Center Automated Transport System Quick Facts
- Automated Guided Vehicle System cost $18 million, which includes actual system costs, alterations to building and building systems, some departmental and operation changes, and consultant fees. A seven-year return on investment is expected.
- Forty-six robotic transporters carry materials on custom-designed, stainless-steel carts to more than 50 destinations in the 11-story, 1,000-plus-bed hospital complex. The laser-guided transporters and software are manufactured by FMC Technologies of Chalfant, Pa.
- Loaded transporters are 33 inches wide by 65 inches long and travel at speeds up to 234 feet per minute.
- Safety features: warning lights, turn signals, emergency stop buttons, and rear and front bumper scans that trigger automatic stop if path is obstructed; English-language voice alarm; warning signs in English, Spanish and Somali.
- Eight cart types designed for specific functions: biohazard waste; medical/surgical supplies; flat bed for boxed supplies; trash; soiled tray return; hot food patient trays (closed); linens; sterile surgical supplies/pharmacy (closed and locked).
- Laser-guided transporters "identify" cart type through barcode technology.
Transporter lift capacity: 1,000 pounds.
- Designed for 3,000 deliveries per day throughout ground floor and via nine dedicated small elevators, freeing up an estimated 2,500 trips for patients, staff and visitors on elevators previously used to move materials.
- Standard delivery time: 15 minutes; priority delivery time: 10 minutes.
450 employees trained (including managers and supervisors).
- Four-step ordering process on touch-screen computers: position cart for pickup; select cart pickup location; select cart type; swipe identification badge.

The Hood Internet vs Chicago vs Your Music-less Monday
You know we're junkies for the web's soundtrack, and a new mixtape from The Hood Internet just hit the tubes that is bound to make your Monday move. They're a pair of DJs who smash up songs (it's always a step above "mash-up," just in the seamlessness of it) usually employing the following formula: Hip-hop or R&B song + Indie Guitar or Electronic Song = Hip-hoppin' at the indie rock show. And then the results are released in a constant, prolific stream by blog, of course.
The group's latest is 'The Hood Internet vs. Chicago', and it lives up to its billing with often-jarring tracks that pit the smashing DJs against artists from throughout the Midway. Current TV ties it up well here:

I really find this shirt someting charming with its sand plain color and chest flat pockets. It would nicely match a charcoal knit, and some light blue jeans. Actually, it looks like perfect to go about your safari business ;). Regarding the fabric : a 70% cotton construction and 30% hemp could be considered as particular. Let's just hope it would be pleasant to the touch (of course it will).

I felt this way when I was pregnant with my daughter. I have a new doctor now who is fantastic and takes all the time in the world to answer my questions and address my concerns.
My advice to you - switch doctors if you still can. There's a huge chance you're going to end up unhappy with your birth and it will bother you long after it's over. As much as I love my new doctor, now that I'm on the other side, it makes me feel even worse that I allowed myself to pay someone to treat me the way my prior doctor did. I feel like I should have done something about it the minute I felt something was wrong (or listened to my husband who had that feeling from day one).
That totally sucks!
Had that with my last pregnancy! My OB kept asking me if I was going to be induced - she kept trying to get me to be induced so I could "guarantee" that she'd be the one to deliver. She scared one of my other friends into being induced by telling her that her baby was getting too big - and her LO only ended up being just over 7 pounds. (Friend ended up with complications from being induced, too.)
Plus, her receptionist was a total b!tch and every time I had an appointment, she would remind me of how much money I had to pay by my seventh month - like I should just whip out the checkbook and hand her several hundred dollars like it was nothing.
Needless to say, I dumped her as soon as I had the baby and haven't regretted it since! My OB this time around is SOOO much better. I don't feel like cattle getting herded in and out with no time for questions and I don't have to wait an hour before every appointment, either!
GL finding a better doc when you get a chance!
I do! I have had a wonderful 7 month long (and counting) yeast infection, and every time I see the dr he tells me to go get some Monistat. Today I finally was like, "NO!!!! I have been throwing Monistat at this thing for months and it does nothing!" He just hooked me up with some prescription stuff, which I took in the beginning of this pregnancy and it did nothing either. So I'm assuming that I'll take this crap again, show up at my next appt in two weeks, and have him tell me to go get some more Monistat.
Yes. In fact I called yesterday to express some concerns and her asisstant called me back although my voicemail expressly stated I wished to speak directly with my Dr. Still have not heard back from them today. It was never perfect, but like you I didn't want to expect a BFF relationship. I called a few other practices including a group of midwives that deliver at a hospital to schedule interviews. Even though I am in my 29th week they were able to schedule me in.
I think that if you are nervous now, you will be more concerned when you head to the hospital not knowing what sort of experience you will have.
Good Luck!
