Allow me to add my .02.
I've passed through London on a handful of trips. Each time we've had a layover at Heathrow we've hopped a train into town... even just to knock on a friend's door and say "Surprise - lets get a sandwich!" When I used one of the other airports and foolishly tried the same stunt, the stupid bus got stuck on the M-whatever almost immediatly. Besides my bus fare, I didn't have time to spend on anything else.
I have no real opinion on what the BAA should do about the runways... but next time I can't get around a layover I'm going through Heathrow - if only because I can get into town easier.
The idea that expansion of Gatwick is an answer to an undersupply of air services in London is pure fantasy. Gatwick has even less space to expand than Heathrow currently does. Both are simply too embedded in areas of high density living which constrains their operations and reduces competition. BA and BAA like this and want to protect their previous investments which is why they only demand expansion at Heathrow and Gatwick. The Green lobby is seriously misguided in its belief that by preventing any expansion it can reduce overall demand for air travel. Demand for air travel has continued to grow over the past decades. If London air capacity is not increased, people will still travel by air but will fly by changing planes in Paris and Amsterdam and beyond rather than flying direct which benefits neither London nor the Environment.The solution is a new 24/7 purpose built airport away from large population centres but connected by high speed rail and other transport links such as on the Thames Coast or in the Thames Estuary. London could then have an airport that could compete with the world's best in Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai. Incremental expansion would mean that London continue its deterioration as a major air transport hub and key economic growth generator for the SouthEast.Any new airport could be built in 3 stages over the next 30 years. Upon the completion of the first stage, all the Heathrow Terminals except for 4 and 5 could be closed. After the completion of the second stage, Gatwick could be closed down and its land sold off. The third and final stages would see the rest of Heathrow sold off and closed down. The land sales from both Gatwick and Heathrow would more than generate enough revenue to pay the cost of a new a much larger and purpose built airport. That way there would less public opposition in heavily congested West London and Crawley and give London an airport to match the best in the world, with a separately owned expanded Stansted and a continuing London City Airport to provide a modicum of competition.
Just get it done, good and quick, whatever option is chosen.
Incompetence is unattractive, nobody cares why the centrepiece of Britain's transport infrastructure is in such a disastrous state, all they care about is a solution.
Good article. Pity you spoilt it by an uninformed reference to Gatwick. The reason you have got it wrong is
• There is a cast iron legal agreement that prevents any new runway before August 2019;
• The agreement could only be overturned by an Act of Parliament;
• The Government has decided that the legal agreement should not be overturned;
• The situation would not change with a change of government: the Conservative and Lib Dem Parties have stated that they are opposed to a new runway at Gatwick;
• Even if legislation were introduced, it would probably not be passed by the House of Lords.
There is no physical space for a new runway between the towns of Horley and Crawley. As BA has commented, the current plans show the runways so close together that the airport could not operate efficiently;
A change in the ownership of Gatwick is not going to alter the topography of the area;
If by 2019 new runways have been built at Stansted and/or Heathrow, which I hope will never happen, there will be no commercial case for a Gatwick runway;
If the pressure of public opposition has defeated the Stansted and Heathrow proposals, there is no reason to suppose that the opposition will be any less fierce from around Gatwick;
The SERAS study by the Government before the Aviation White Paper found that a new Gatwick runway scored low on economic benefit but high on environmental cost;
If concern about climate change goes on increasing, that is likely to rule out any new runway;
If the cost of oil remains high, or if a future Government decides to tax aviation fuel, the growth in air travel will slow down or stop;
Gatwick is not popular with airlines: it has a reputation as the graveyard for Laker, British Caledonian, and Dan Air. British Airways told the Competition Commission that three runways would be needed to turn Gatwick into a viable hub.
Heathrow is a national disgrace and the government is right to take action. Both options, a third runway and a new airport, have their pros and cons, but the government needs to make a decision and stick to it.
The city of London must build a replacement for Heathrow in the Thames estuary and make a Heathrow Park. That way, the residents of West London can get some peace (and breathable air). Anyone who has been to Kew Gardens can understand what I'm talking about. How can one appreciate one of the great botanical gardens of the world, with all that taking off and landing?
The British government should do what Boris Johnson said in an op-ed in the Telegraph: bulldoze London Heathrow and build a brand-new airport from scratch. I don't understand what is the sick fetish that people have with LHR!
The airport blows! It stinks, the bathrooms are filthy, it takes literally two hours to get from one terminal to another (did they ever hear of a monorail to link the buidlings), for most of it's existence, it was nothing but a glorified shopping mall.
What the UK government needs is start planning to replace LHR, not expanding it. There is London Stansted, a bit far, but has greater expansion capabilities than LHR. Or explore the more outlandish idea (supported by Boris) to build an island in the Thames esturary. (Hopefully an airport project can be fast tracked on take the typical British route of impact assessments, interviewing everyone and their relatives, etc. and 10 years later produce a report that says more study is needed).
Either way, Heathrow must go! Stansted your time has come.
"BAA and the Department of Transport have tried to show that adding a quarter of a million flights will not increase noise and local air pollution."However they have failed to convince the Environment Agency and the leader of the air quality work done under the "Project for the sustainable development of Heathrow" meant to establish the appropriate air quality modelling to determine likely outcomes.The Environment Agency response to expansion summarised its position :"After full consideration of the documents our conclusion is that overall, we do notthink that the evidence presented is sufficiently robust to conclude that the proposedHeathrow development will not infringe the NO2 Directive, bearing in mind theuncertainties that need to be addressed. This is because the assessment of air qualitypays insufficient attention to these uncertainties and to the range of possible futurescenarios for issues like road traffic, meteorological variability, climate change,background air quality and atmospheric chemistry.We do not contend that the evidence does not exist to support the case for meeting theair quality requirements, but that, as presented in this consultation, the case is notmade. When these uncertainties and scenarios have been considered in more depth itmay be possible to conclude robustly that there will be no infringement, but thisconclusion cannot yet be drawn from this consultation."The Times reported (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article4276798.ece)"Mike Pilling, who chairs the government's expert group on air quality, said the public were being misled over claims that Heathrow's expansion would not cause unlawful and dangerous levels of pollution....Pilling, who helped to devise the Department for Transport's rubric for measuring future pollution around Heathrow, said a key recommendation to consider a range of future scenarios was disregarded. He said Kelly's final conclusion that a third runway would not cause a significant increase in pollution was unreliable."
Who says that Heathrow is full up? The aviation lobby, courtesy of their cheerleaders BAA and BA.Who says that it must get bigger if Britain's economy is not to take a hit? The aviation lobby, courtesy of their cheerleaders BAA and BA.Who says that that adding a quarter of a million flights will not increase noise and local air pollution? The aviation lobby, courtesy of their cheerleaders BAA and the DfT.Just last week it was announced that Air Arik, the Nigerian airline, has been granted additional Heathrow slots. BA038, which crash landed at Heathrow in January, was half full. Bmi, the airline with the second largest number of slots at Heathrow, has admitted that it flies "ghost" flights (i.e. near empty) to retain its slots."International transfer passengers who never leave the airport are useful to the airline industry, but they are of little wider economic value". Therefore little benefit to UK plc apart from taxation from BAA, but with its current level of debt that means zero tax revenues for the foreseeable future.As for no increase in noise or pollution from an additional quarter of a million flights - that comes from BAA, the company which invented the "green jumbo" which no manufacturer has plans to build, and the DfT, the government department which sticks rigidly to the 57dBA noise contour level when the World Health Organistion says they should be working from 50 dBA: a significant difference on a logarithmic scale. It is just not possible to build the equivalent of another airport the size of Gatwick alongside Heathrow for a zero increase in noise or pollution.On all counts it's aviation lobby propaganda which the government believes. As the article says, competition is likely to increase between London's airports, totally negating any requirement for expansion at Heathrow, although I don't believe it's needed elsewhere either - that argument also comes from the aviation lobby, and none of their arguments to date stack up.You say that Gordon Brown's case seems as vapid and noxious as a jet-engine's exhaust. This is the man who, in May 2007, while announcing his candidature for the leadership of the Labour party and therefore became a shoo-in for prime minister, said, "I will listen and I will learn. I will strive to meet people's aspirations. I want to lead a government humble enough to know its place - where I will always strive to be - on people's side." He omitted to add, "Except where the aviation lobby is concerned."It's not just his case that's as vapid and noxious as a jet-engine's exhaust.

News for Immediate Release
Aug. 15, 2014
Martinsburg– Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture George Greig today announced that a relocated regional Department of Agriculture office will provide better service to the department's constituents, while saving taxpayer dollars.
The department's Region 5 office was recently moved across Blair County from downtown Altoona to 403 E. Christiana St., Martinsburg.
"Our department provides protection to consumers, farmers and other agribusinesses through regulatory inspections," Greig said.
"Our new Martinsburg location will give our field staff easier access to our regional office as they inspect operations in Morrisons Cove and other rich farming areas of central Pennsylvania. The move was carefully considered and will improve the services provided by our department."
While much of the department's work is coordinated through its Harrisburg headquarters, agronomic and plant inspectors, dog wardens, food sanitarians, regional veterinarians and weights and measures inspectors are based out of seven regional offices.
Field staff in Region 5 serve Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Centre, Clearfield, Fulton, Huntingdon, Juniata, Mifflin and Somerset counties.
For more information on the Region 5 office, visit www.agriculture.state.pa.us and click "Contact" or call 814-793-1849.

The Supreme Court won't touch the Roadless Rule in the 2012 Term.
Monday, the Court denied petitions for certiorari from the Colorado Mining Association and the State of Wyoming, which were asking for review of the Clinton-era rule, Environment News Service reports.
The Roadless Rule is a regulation that bans construction and reconstruction in certain inventoried roadless areas (IRAs). The Forest Service adopted the Interim Roadless Rule, an 18-month moratorium on road construction in most IRAs in March 1999. The interim rule, which continued through August 2000, temporarily suspended decision-making regarding road construction and reconstruction in many unroaded areas within the National Forest System (NFS).
In 2001, the Forest Service issued the final Roadless Rule, which prohibited road construction and reconstruction in IRAs, and banned the cutting, sale, or removal of timber from IRAs, subject to limited exceptions. Wyoming and the Colorado Mining Association sued to challenge the Rule.
A Wyoming federal court blocked enforcement of the rule after the State of Wyoming and the Colorado Mining Association challenged the law in 2008. The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the Roadless Rule in October 2011, and declined to reconsider the case this year.
Attorney Paul Seby, who submitted the Colorado Mining Association's petition to the Supreme Court, told the Denver Post earlier this year, "Congress never considered banning the multiple use of 58.5 million acres of lands forever -- including whether to put them off limits to responsible natural resource development and forest health management."
Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead also opposes the rule. "This has real impacts for multiple use in Wyoming, and the rule was developed without meaningful input from any state, county or town ... This rule affects our economy and our ability to fight the bark beetle epidemic." Gov. Matt Mead said in a statement.
Despite several high-profile opponents, the Roadless Rule still has many supporters. Jane Danowitz of the Pew Environment told Environment News Service this week that the Roadless Rule was the result of the largest public lands review in U.S. history, with more than 1.2 million comments and 600 public hearings.
"Today's Supreme Court action validates one of America's most important and popular land conservation policies ... Without the national standard of protection the rule provides, millions of acres of America's last pristine national forests could be lost to logging and other industrial development," Danowitz said.

schrenk, markus (2006) A Lewisian Theory for Special Science Laws. [Published Article]
| PDF Download (166Kb) | Preview |
Run Lewisian best system competitions as usual but organise separate competitions for each special science: one compe- tition for chemistry, one for biology, etc. depending on how far up you are willing to go. In order to do so, at least one hurdle has to be taken: Lewis's theory does not straightforwardly allow for laws with exceptions. Yet, especially the laws of non-fundamental laws like, say, chemistry or biology are said to be ceteris paribus laws, i.e., laws that are haunted by exceptions and therefore in need of proviso clauses.

WHO: Duluiyah IP, Unilateral
WHAT: IED DISCOVERY, confirmed by CF, Ineffective
HOW: At 010955SEP09, Duluiyah IP were on patrol in and around the vicinity of Hawija Baria and came across a bottle with contents inside at vic MC 265 675. Upon investigating the sight, they uncovered a 1.5 liter bottle filled with UBE and a timer attached. An IP within the element detached the timer and the patrol took the IED to the Duluiyah DHQ. Defender 2 was already enroute to Duluiyah DHQ and confirmed an unknown explosive inside the bottle. The IED is no longer armed and in the possession of Duluiyah DHQ. IP's are awaiting drop off with EOD at disposal site. MTF
UPDATE: At 011257SEP09, 2/3-4 CAV and EOD linked up at the Duluyiah IP station. EOD recovered 1 x 57mm warhead, 1.5 liter ammonium nitrate/urea and 30m of detonation cord. EOD moved the IED to MC 25601 64896 and reduced the munition. NFTR
1 x 57mm warhead S5MO
1.5 liter ammonium nitrate/urea
15' of detonation cord
EOD ASSESSMENT: Team 8 responded to an ERW IVO of 38 SMC 28310 67162 ISO 3-4 CAV (Blackfoot element). Team arrived at the IP station to find: 1 ea S5MO 57mm HE rocket warhead, 1 ea 1-liter bottle of HME, 15 ft det cord. All hazardous items destroyed by detonation at EOD demo range. Secondary search was conducted with no additional hazards found.
Raider S2 assessment: We assess that today's IED, if not discovered, would have targeted ISF or CF. AQI has historically operated in this area. The last IED found near today's IED was one turned in by 3-14 IA on 11AUG09. The IED was originally found on 16JUL09 at grid 38S MC 263 665.

CD & DVD Grading Guide
All CDs and DVDs are original releases.
All CDs will come with a new jewel case and original artwork unless otherwise noted.
We strive to give a 100% honest rating on our CDs and DVDs. The rating system that we use is based on the Record Collectors Grading System and is as follows:
MINT = The Disc itself is in 'as new' condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The artwork is in perfect condition.
EXCELLENT = The Disc shows some signs of having been played, there may be some light marks that do not affect playback or sound quality. The artwork might have slight wear.
VERY GOOD = The Disc has quite obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite many noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the artwork, without any major defects is acceptable.
ACCEPTABLE / GOOD = The Disc has been played so much that it is heavily marked but guaranteed to play through. The artwork suffers from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, tears, etc. (Should this be the case the description should specify the fault).
Region Encoding Information
REGION 0: Region Free (Will play on any DVD player)
REGION 1: USA and Canada (NTSC)
REGION 2: Europe (PAL), Japan (NTSC), South Africa, Middle East
REGION A/1: The Americas, and their dependencies, East Asia (except China and Mongolia), Southeast Asia and Japan.

Edward S. Steitz, director of athletics at Springfield College from 1956 to 1990, once referred to the 1972 Summer Olympics as "the one I will never forget."
Steitz, who died in 1990 at the age of 69, served as an executive board member of the U.S. Olympic Committee. As such, he was on duty at the compound housing American athletes on the night of Sept. 5, 1972.
That was the fateful time when members of a Palestinian terrorist organization known as Black September infiltrated the Israeli athletes' quarters, killed two team members and took nine as hostages.
"It was a sickening, saddening thing that could put a damper on the Olympic Games of the future," Steitz said, speaking on Sept. 6, 1972, in a transatlantic telephone interview with Jerry Radding, a now-retired member of The Springfield Union's sports staff.
"We began hearing rumors of what happened – first, that a bomb had been dropped, then that Israelis had attacked Arabs. We finally got the right story, and it was just unbelievable," Steitz said in the interview.
The day before the attack, Steitz had spent time with Moshe Weinberg, coach of the Israeli wrestling team.
When Black September broke into the Israeli compound, Weinberg was one of two Israelis who were killed as they tried to intercept the raiders.
"I felt close to the situation because I knew some of the people involved," Steitz said in the interview.
Nine members of Israel's Olympic team were taken hostage and brought to a nearby airport. The terrorists demanded the release of 234 prisoners held in Israeli jails. They also demanded the release of all members of the German "Red Army Faction" being held in German prisons.
West German police attempted a rescue at the airport, but failed and all nine hostages were killed, along with a West German police officer and five of the terrorists.
Speaking on behalf of the U.S. Olympic contingent, Steitz said, "We don't really feel that the Germans can be faulted. I know it's hard to conceive that it could have been worse, but they (the terrorists) could have captured the entire Israeli team."
Israel and Egypt both withdrew their Olympic teams following the killings.
"Everybody feels deep sympathy for the Israelis, but there is hope that the Olympics can continue. I feel that all athletes would perform with greater motivation in the remaining events," Steitz said as Olympic officials were wondering if the Munich games should continue.
Avery Brundage, chief of the International Olympic Committee, settled the question when he ordered a ceremony in Olympic Stadium to honor the dead, then announced, "The games must go on."
Because of the killings, known as "The Munich Massacre," tighter security measures were put in place for the next Olympiad, which began with the Winter Games of 1976 in Innsbruck, Austria.
Along with his Olympic committee duties, Steitz also headed the Amateur Basketball Association of the United States, the governing body for American involvement in international competition. (That organization is now known as USA Basketball). American teams in those days were composed of college players, with an occasional player from the AAU or the military making the roster.
As the 1972 Olympic games returned to their schedule following the killings, the U.S. basketball team lost the gold medal for the first time, bowing 51-50 to the Soviet Union in a game marred by confusion at the finish. A controversy regarding how much time remained finally was resolved, putting three seconds back on the clock when it appeared that the game was over with the U.S. winning 50-49 on two free throws by Doug Collins (current coach of the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers).
Upon his return to the Springfield College campus from Munich, Steitz called a press conference to blast the way the gold medal game was handled in its closing seconds.
"It was an injustice and a travesty, and I think they blew it. It was the biggest steal in Olympic history," Steitz said.
Going into that game, the U.S. had a 63-0 record in Olympic basketball, which began in 1936.
After that Olympiad, Steitz remained closely involved with basketball worldwide. He served on the Olympic hoop committee as its chairman from 1964 through 1980.
With the 1972 loss in mind, Steitz campaigned for a rules change which would allow the U.S. to send its best team to the Olympics – meaning professional players from the NBA, rather than non-professionals. Steitz and others argued that the Olympic ideal of "amateurism" no longer applied because other countries had national teams that were basically composed of professionals.
The proposed rules change finally passed in 1989. It led to Uncle Sam's 1992 Olympic "dream team" that featured Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird and was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010.
Steitz also played a significant role in the evolution of basketball rules. As national rules interpreter for 35 years, he was mainly responsible for such dramatic changes as reinstating the dunk (1977), adopting the shot clock (1985) and introducing the three-point field goal (1986). In 1987, Steitz led the way in having the jump ball eliminated, except for the start of a game or the start of overtime.
Indiana coach Bob Knight often referred to Steitz as "the father of the three-point field goal."
Steitz coached men's basketball at Springfield for 10 years before settling into a full-time role as athletic director. In 1984, he was en-shrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a contributor. In 2007, the International Basketball Hall of Fame enshrined him, also as a contributor.

Truly distributed birefringence measurement of polarization-maintaining fibers based on transient Brillouin grating
Optics Letters, Vol. 35, Issue 2, pp. 193-195 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (336 KB)
We report on what we believe to be the first truly distributed birefringence measurement of polarization-maintaining fibers (PMFs) based on transient Brillouin grating (TBG). A TBG is created by two short pump pulses in the slow axis of the PMF, and then the birefringence-related TBG spectrum is mapped by scanning a probe pulse launched in the fast axis, where the local birefringence can be calculated using the birefringence induced frequency shift. Two types of widely used PMFs, bow-tie and panda, with a length of 8 m were measured at a spatial resolution of 20 cm, and the results show that the birefringence features a periodic variation, and their variation ranges are

B&R Industrial Automation: Economical multi drive
The ACOPOSmulti drive design solution from B&R offers a high degree of efficiency for multi-axis machines.
The APC820 integrates a high level of PC
performance into ACOPOSmulti, allowing users to save space in the switching cabinet, by freeing up space intended for the
PC. With the Core™2 Duo Windows XP and the real-time operating system run
parallel to each other on separate processor cores. Completely new
options and complex automation tasks that were previously distributed
over a number of system platforms are now brought together in a single
device. Up to four automation panels can be connected over a distance
of up to 160 m. Both a feed-through heat sink with IP65 protection for
releasing heat outside the switching cabinet and a "cold plate" variant
for connecting to a cooling circulation system (water, oil) are
available. This eliminates the need for fans and climate control units
in the switching cabinet.

How To Wreck a Prescription-Drug Program July 22, 2011
By Paul Howard
Democrats seem obsessed with finding new and inventive ways of robbing Peter to pay Paul. President Obama and congressional Democrats want to extend large rebates now required on drugs sold through the Medicaid program to prescription drugs used by "dual eligibles" - that is, seniors who qualify for Medicare and Medicaid - as well as seniors who are eligible for low-income subsidies under Medicares Part D prescription drug program.
The White House claims that the new rebates would "reduce excessive payments by leveraging Medicares purchasing power," and House Democrats claim that the rebates would "eliminate a sweetheart deal for brand-name drug manufacturers." It would do neither, and would, in fact, likely raise prices for most seniors in Medicare prescription-drug plans. It also might reduce choice of plans and limit access to innovative new drugs.
The Medicare Part D prescription-drug program is enormously popular with seniors, with approval ratings close to 90 percent. It is one of the few government-subsidized health programs that actually came in under original cost estimates, thanks to the programs emphasis on competition among private drug plans.
That competition will be undermined by Democrats attempt to increase price controls on prescription drugs, according to a report released Thursday by former Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin and Michael Ramlet of the American Action Forum. Millions of middle-income seniors will face billions of dollars in higher Part D premiums.
On average, the private rebates on brand-name drugs in the Part D program are impressive - 20 percent to 30 percent below going rates - but not as low as the Medicaid statutory rebate, which Mr. Holtz-Eakin and Mr. Ramlet estimate at 40 percent. This has led Democrats to argue that expanding the rebate to dual eligibles and low-income seniors would lower prices and increase savings for seniors. This view reflects a flawed understanding of market economics.
Government price controls are far from cost-free to producers in the Medicaid program. Doctors see fewer Medicaid patients and drug companies shift the cost of Medicaid rebates onto private insurers in the form of higher drug prices. Inflicting additional rebates on Medicare Part D is likely to produce similar cost shifts, but the impact here would be much more significant, because Medicare represents a larger part of the U.S. drug market.
Using data from the Lewin Group, a Medicare actuary, Mr. Holtz-Eakin and Mr. Ramlet examine the impact of mandatory Medicaid rebates on seniors in Part D who arent eligible for subsidy support. As a base line, they assume (conservatively) that half of the cost of the rebate either would be absorbed by drug companies - in the form of reduced employment, wages or reductions in new drug research - or passed along to consumers in private insurance plans. The remainder of the rebate would be shifted onto middle-income seniors, who pay their full premiums out of pocket.
Using this base line, Mr. Holtz-Eakin and Mr. Ramlet model "low-impact" and "high-impact" scenarios.
Under the low-impact scenario, they assume that drug makers respond to mandatory Medicaid rebates for low-income seniors by reducing rebates available to drug plans across the board - that is, those including both low-income and middle-income seniors. Since the mix of low- and middle-income seniors varies across plans, this is an unlikely outcome. In fact, plans with more middle-income seniors likely will see larger price increases.
Still, even in the low-impact scenario, premiums for seniors would increase by nearly 20 percent.
Under a high-impact scenario, where costs are borne entirely by middle-income Part D enrollees, seniors could see their premiums rise by 40 percent. Overall, Mr. Holtz-Eakin and Mr. Ramlet conclude that out-of-pocket drug costs would rise by $1.5 billion to $3.7 billion annually, depending on the actual impact on premiums. Also, drug plans could react to large price increases by reducing access to brand-name drugs or eliminating some plans entirely.
Democrats ignore the enormous savings that market competition produces in the Part D program every year. This is a point underscored by another recent report on the Part D program by Murray Aitken of the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics and economist Ernst Berndt of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Mr. Aitken and Mr. Berndt note that when prescription drugs lose patent protection, generic competitors enter the market and produce copies approved by the Food and Drug Administration for a fraction of the original drugs price because generic drug companies dont have to bear the enormous costs of drug development. Prescription drug plans, in their competition for enrollment, passed much of this generic savings to consumers.
In fact, Mr. Aitken and Mr. Berndt note that from 2006 to 2010, "expirations of patent protection and the substitution of generics for brands played a major role" in eight out of the 10 classes of drugs with the largest volume of sales in the Part D drug program, experiencing a decline in the daily cost of therapy from $1.50 to $1 a day. Additional patent expirations expected in the next five years, they estimate, will further reduce the aggregate cost of therapy to just 65 cents per day.
Rather than penalizing drug makers for participating in one of the few market successes in Medicare, policymakers should focus on reforming the entire program by using the same principles of consumer choice and market competition. They can start by abandoning the idea of more price controls for Part D.

About Short Sleeve Cycling Jerseys
Short sleeve cycling jerseys are cut to provide a close fit whilst riding, they are made from stretchy, breathable materials, which help transfer moisture away from the body and keep you comfortable on the bike. They are best combined with a quality base layer on hot days and can be worn under a jacket on cooler days, making them a good choice as part of a layering system as well as a single item. When choosing a jersey consider how much venting you would like and look at the zip lengths, the longer the zip the higher the ventilation choice you will have. Cycle Jerseys also feature open pockets on the rear for carrying items such as energy gels, energy bars or inner tubes.

House File 1015: Bill Relating to Education
Representative Harry Mares
This bill makes major changes in many areas of the education code. It would have changed the home school law in two very unfavorable ways.
First, parents would be required to submit their children's standardized test scores and all other assessments to the public school superintendent every year. This would change the current law which requires that children be tested, but does not require the scores to be submitted.
Second, parents desiring to teach their children at home would be required to have a high school diploma. Currently, parents without such a diploma can home school by sending in quarterly reports, but these bills would remove that option.
HF 1015 is in the House Education Committee. However, all of the home schooling language has been removed.
Action Requested:
HSLDA's Position:
This portion of the bill should be strongly opposed.

Vacation rentals in France (farms, cottages, gites, apartments) |
> SlowTrav > France > Vacation Rentals > Reviews > Aquitaine Review 421: La Prairie in France, Les Rosiers Recommended
4bed/2.5bath house in Domme, Dordogne, Aquitaine WhenOctober 2002, 1 week LocationThis house is in the small town of Domme, abutting the ancient village walls with a beautiful view across the valley. There are houses on either side, but the house offers total privacy in the backyard/pool area. Nearby AmenitiesThe nearest restaurants and grocery-shopping were a 5-minute walk, with larger shops a 5-minute drive down the hill. The House/ApartmentThe building itself partially dates from the 1500s and has been modernised in excellent taste. GardenThe backyard has a small pool, nice lounge chairs, and is totally private. Furnishings/Cleanliness/Living AreasThe furniture is in great shape -- very comfortable with ample seating (2 full sofas) in the living room, a table for 8 in the dining area, and lots of room/seating on the outside deck overlooking the pool. Bedrooms/BathroomsThe beds are very comfortable, with good mattresses, and the baths are extremely nice. The master bedroom is downstairs (with a canopy bed), and the master bath has a large, modern shower stall. The second double bedroom is upstairs, and its bath has a tub with shower attachment. There is also a half bath by the dining area. It's a perfect house for 2 couples, or 2 couples with children, since one small bedroom has 2 twins which can't joined, and another small bedroom adjoins the upstairs double bedroom. KitchenThe kitchen is extraordinary, very large with loads of counter space and everything of fine quality. The dining table seating 8 is adjacent, and just out the kitchen door is the deck overlooking the pool and valley below, with its own table and chairs. Problems or BonusesThe only surprise was the spaciousness of the house and the quality -- when my friend and I walked in, we literally starting yelling with joy. Of course, as the English owner said, we Americans are a noisy lot! Agency and Representatives (and price)We booked with the owners via telephone, although e-mail is now available. The owners, who are English, live nearby and are terrific. He came by just to change a light bulb we couldn't reach because of its height, although we assured him it wasn't necessary. They're also eager to help with restaurant reservations if necessary (i.e., if you don't speak French), and left wine, coffee, and homemade jam to greet us. The web site offers an accurate view of Les Rosiers, but the reality is even better! Do you recommend this vacation rental to others?We plan to return, and would recommend this to our best friends (who in fact stayed here with us and loved it as much as we did). My only qualification: come off-season, as we did. The crowds have disappeared, and the price is 1/3 that of the summer. Plus, autumn offers truffles, cepes (the French name for porcini), and wild game dishes! Things to do in this areaDomme is in the heart of the Perigord, or Dordogne as the English call it. It's a jewel of a town itself, and is near Sarlat, one of the most beautiful towns in France, la Roque-Gageac, Beynac, etc. etc. etc. This is our second time in the area, and we hope to return. We had a wonderful dinner at L'Esplanade in Domme to celebrate my birthday, and ate as well though less expensively at La Belle Etoile in la Roque-Gageac (a superb 3-course dinner for $20, and an even better 4-course dinner for $30). In addition to eating, there are castles everywhere, caves with prehistoric paintings, canoeing and kayaking on the Dordogne River, small towns with great markets to buy your fixings for dinner -- our favorite part of France!

Significance and Use
5.1 This test method is intended to simulate the slip of a flexible web on a roller in a machine or tribosystem that conveys web materials. Flexible webs such as plastic sheeting, paper, elastomers, metal foils, and cloth are often transported in manufacturing processes by combinations of driving and idler rollers. The friction characteristics of the web/roller interface often affects the web transport process. If the web/roller friction is too low, the web can slip on the rollers and be damaged or damage the roller. High friction on the other hand, can lead to steering problems and overloading of driving motors.
5.2 This test method can be used to rank rollers for their ability to resist slip versus a particular web material (high friction). Conversely this test method can assess web materials or web surface coatings such as waxes and lubricants. In this latter case, the goal may be a low-friction product made from a web (film, magnetic media, paper, and so forth).
5.3 If a tribosystem involves transport of a flexible web on a roller, this is an appropriate test to use to measure the friction characteristics of the roller/web couple.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the simulation of a roller/web transport tribosystem and the measurement of the static and kinetic coefficient of friction of the web/roller couple when sliding occurs between the two. The objective of this test method is to provide users with web/roller friction information that can be used for process control, design calculations, and for any other function where web/roller friction needs to be known.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
