Detailed Itinerary
Depart from origin. If you are commencing your journey from the United States, we can recommend the best airlines and routings for your particular needs. We can also introduce you to consolidators who offer discounted fares (First, Business and Economy) on these flights. This is a service provided solely as a convenience and extra value for our guests. We do not sell airline tickets to people not touring with us.
Day 1: Arrive at Delhi (most flights arrive either in the evening or at night). Our services begin here. You are greeted at the airport by an Easy Tours Travel Facilitator and ushered to a chauffeur driven vehicle. You are then driven to your hotel where you are assisted with your check in. The next day's plans are briefly reviewed and you are presented with your welcome package. Among other things, this package includes a beautiful handcrafted journal for your explorations, travel documents such as your air tickets and hotel vouchers, as well as copies of documents (such as our General Travel Guide) that were sent to you earlier.
Day 2: Delhi. You are at leisure this morning to recuperate from your international flight.
Afternoon - start your exploration
Within the Qutab complex, amidst the ruins of the Quwat-ul-Islam Mosque, stands one of the legendary Ashoka Pillars. This large iron pillar has withstood the ravages of Delhi's weather (and recent pollution) and has not rusted in over 1500 years. After the Qutab complex you will be driven to visit the magnificent tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun. Delhi has such an abundance of amazing monuments that this Tomb Complex (1562 A.D.) does not quite get the acclaim that it deserves. It is Delhi's third UNESCO World Heritage Site and its amazing architecture and the elaborate gardens will captivate you.
From the tomb you will proceed on a drive to Lutyens' New Delhi. Time permitting (you will have time available on the next day for completing this exploration), this drive will include photo opportunities at some of the following attractions - the exterior of the massive and awe-inspiring Rashtrapati Bhawan (known as Viceroy's House during the British era), Delhi's landmark structure India Gate, a golden domed Sikh Temple (Bangla Sahib Gurudwara), & the Birla Temple. The last part of this excursion is a drive through Connaught Place, which is New Delhi's downtown.
Day 3: Delhi. Enjoy a guided city tour of Old Delhi. Drive, walk and ride through the ancient city's streets and alleys; explore crowded and colorful bazaars. This excursion includes a tour of the Charity Bird Hospital inside the Jain Digambra Tempe. The hospital is free of charge but not meant for pet birds as Jain philosophy dictates that any birds brought in here are released in the open after they recover. Next comes an exploration of the Jama Masjid (1650 AD), the largest mosque in India. The Masjid (Mosque) is a magnificent example of Mughal architecture and is constructed of red sandstone and white marble. It is an active place of worship and its courtyard can hold 25,000 worshippers. You continue on to the amazing Red Fort that was finished a decade before the mosque. Both structures were built by Shah Jahan, the emperor that created the Taj Mahal. The great city inside the massive sandstone walls of the Red Fort offers visitors a large number of architectural and historical attractions; it was once known as the 8th wonder of the world. The Red Fort was the seat of the Mughal Empire for more than two hundred and fifty years and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is an amazing example of a blend of Persian, Indian, and European architecture. You will also experience a fascinating rickshaw ride in the ancient alleys of the crowded and colorful bazaar at Chandni Chowk. After these experiences a short drive will deliver you to an oasis of calm and serenity, which also happens to be your last destination in Old Delhi. The cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi (Raj Ghat) is a simple yet stirring memorial to the father of the nation. Lush lawns extend beyond the enclosure that surrounds the black marble platform occupying the spot where the Mahatma was cremated. An eternal flame burns next to the platform.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon - Enjoy a guided visit to the National Museum of Natural History. This is India's finest museum and has a vast selection of fascinating exhibits spanning many millennia of India's history. The second museum experience is an exploration of the National Rail Museum (closed on Mondays), with its collection of steam powered locomotives. This includes the Fairy Queen, the world's oldest running locomotive, built in 1885. There are a number of other fascinating exhibits, including one of the two remaining Morris-Belsize Fire Engine's in the world today, various Saloon's that were built for Indian and British Royalty, and a toy train takes you around (available on most days) the 10 acre museum.
Day 4: Delhi. You are at leisure on this day. The only service provided by Easy Tours is your Hotel Room, including breakfast and taxes. A chauffeur driven vehicle as well as a guide can be arranged for half a day or the full day. Delhi has a lot of experiences and activities that you can indulge in, including great dining and souvenir shopping. There are interactive experiences that families can enjoy, such as the shows at the impressive Akshardham Temple Complex. Our staff can make suggestions based on your preferences.
Day 5: Delhi – Agra. You are assisted with your checkout from your hotel and driven to Delhi's railway station where you are assisted with boarding the early morning Express train to Agra for a two hour journey. This is an opportunity to experience an Indian Railway Station, something that you will find nowhere else on this planet. Your Easy Tours Facilitator assists you in getting seated in your assigned seats and gets your luggage ported to the appropriate location above your seats. The facilitator stays with you until the train departs. Your Travel Facilitator provides you with a detailed itinerary of the trains schedule so as to make you comfortable with every step of the journey. Refreshments are served by Indian Railways during this journey - we recommend that you refrain from consuming these (except for the bottled water) as you will have been provided with a bagged breakfast. You are greeted by an Easy Tours Facilitator on your arrival at Agra. If an early check-in is available, you are driven to your hotel and assisted with your check-in. If it is not available, you can either commence your guided exploration directly or opt to visit your hotel and use the facilities there before you start your sightseeing.
You now start your exploration of Agra with a half day city tour of the magnificent monuments of this city. The exploration of Agra includes a visit to the famous tomb of Itmad-Ud-Daulah. This memorial was built by the Mughal Emperor Jehangir's queen as a memorial to her father. The tombs sheer beauty will surprise you – the only reason it does not get more accolades is because it shares the stage with the incomparable Taj Mahal. Like the Taj it has amazingly intricate 'Pietra Dura' inlay and lattice marble screens. The mausoleum rests in a walled garden with a view of the river Yamuna. Constructed in the year 1628, most historians believe that its design provided the inspiration for the Taj Mahal. After your exploration of the tomb you will visit the first red sandstone fort of North India, the Agra Fort. It was built in 1565 by India's greatest Mughal ruler, Emperor Akbar. Its royal audience halls, immense stone courtyards, marble mosque and the private royal chambers give us a glimpse of the grandeur of the Mughal Empire.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon - Visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the incomparable Taj Mahal. The world's greatest monument dedicated to love is obviously a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Taj Mahal was completed by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 AD as a memorial to his beloved queen, Mumtaz Mahal. This spectacular white marble mausoleum was created by about 22,000 skilled craftsmen and it took twenty two years to complete. When you experience the Taj Mahal with an Easy Tours Guide and have them provide unique insights into its innumerable facets, some of their passion for this masterpiece may rub off on you! Explore the amazing Taj and its surroundings until it is time to admire the sun's rays setting on the façade of the world's finest monument.
Day 6: Agra. You are at leisure on this day. The only service provided by Easy Tours is your Hotel Room, including breakfast and taxes. A chauffeur driven vehicle as well as a guide can be arranged for half a day or the full day. Agra has some experiences and activities that you can indulge in. You can choose to visit the Agra bear sanctuary (surcharge applies), the largest bear sanctuary in Asia. This visit includes a drive through a bird sanctuary along the way. Our staff can make suggestions based on your preferences.
Day 7: Agra – Jaipur. You can either sleep in or chose to enjoy either of these two optional excursions - a sunrise visit to Mehtab Bagh (no charge), which is a 500 year old Mughal garden located across from the Taj Mahal on the other side of the Yamuna River; or a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal (entry fee surcharge applies). If you select either of the latter options, you will return to your hotel to freshen up after the excursion. An optional experience where you can learn how to tie a Sari or a Turban is available this midmorning. You can choose to enjoy the facilities at your hotel until just before noon. If you do not start out for Ranthambore fairly early in the morning (enabling you to have a late lunch on arrival), we recommend that you consider getting a packed lunch from the hotel for your journey. The dining/rest stopover during the journey offers limited choices.
You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel and then you are driven to Fatehpur Sikri. Enjoy a guided exploration of this beautiful uninhabited city. It was built by Emperor Akbar between 1570 and 1585 and is constructed primarily out of red sandstone. The Emperor moved his capital from Agra to this city and then, a few years later, abandoned it, returning back to Agra. Visit the tallest gateway in the world, the towering Bulund Darwaza (The Gate of Victory). In the northern part of the courtyard is the superb white marble tomb of Shaik Salim Chishti, built in 1570.
Continue on with your journey to Jaipur. You are assisted with your check in at your hotel at Jaipur.
Evening – Join your Easy Tours Facilitator and drive to a local restaurant where you will enjoy a dinner and Rajasthani cultural show that includes regional dance, music and acrobatic performances.
Jaipur is famous for its carpets, jewelry & handicrafts.
Day 8: Jaipur. Join your chauffeur and guide for the short drive to Amer Fort. Just like the Emperors of a few centuries ago, enjoy the ascent up to the ramparts of the fort on top of a colorfully caparisoned elephant (jeeps are available instead of the elephants, if you so desire). The massive Fort complex was originally built by Raja Mansingh and is one of India's finest examples of Rajput architecture. Explore the chambers and hallways, which are famous for their exquisite designs and handcrafted embellishments. Return to the valley beneath the Fort on your elephant or jeep and proceed to your Jaipur Hotel, where you are assisted with your check-in.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon - enjoy a city tour of the walled city of Jaipur, including the magnificent City Palace. Visit Jantar Mantar (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the magnificent stone observatory built by Raja Jai Singh in 1728. After the observatory comes a photo opportunity of the 'Hawa Mahal' (Palace of the Wind). This intriguing facade was built in 1799 so that the ladies of the court could use its unique windows and observe the bustling bazaar, without being visible to the people on the streets. Continue the tour with an exploration of the City Palace, the former royal residence (a part of it is still occupied by the Royal family and is not accessible to the public), built in a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles. This immense complex also houses a number of museums that offer a large and impressive collection of miniature paintings, costumes, and armory.
Day 9: Jaipur. Join your chauffeur and guide at 10 am and proceed to a nearby village to experience rural culture. You will watch the farmers go about their daily activities, and get to observe how the vast majority of Indians contently live simple and hard working lives.
Afternoon - you are at leisure with your chauffeur and guide, who are available to you until 7 pm. An optional stop this afternoon allows the ladies to get Mehndi (Henna) designs applied to their hands and/or feet. There are various other experiences and activities that you can indulge in. Jaipur is India's shopping capital for tourists and this is a good time to shop for Rajasthani specialties if you are so inclined. Or you can choose to enjoy the facilities at your hotel.
Day 10: Jaipur – Delhi – International Flight. You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel by noon (this time will vary based on your international flights departure time) and you proceed on the drive to Delhi airport. Upon your arrival at Delhi you may have a few hours before you need to check-in for your international flight. This is a good time to do some last minute shopping and/or sightseeing if you are so inclined.
Your vehicle and chauffeur stay with you until your (usually late evening) assisted check in at the airport. If your flight departs early in the morning you may want us to arrange a room for you so you can rest.
Our services end at Delhi airport.

Learning Vacations at the Campbell Folk School
Learning vacations are now more popular than ever; from Thai cooking schools to studying Spanish in Guatemala to practicing meditation in India. But how about somewhere a little closer to home and a place you can still get a rich cultural experience as well?
Located in the scenic hills of western North Carolina, the school, a registered non-profit situated on a serene 300-acre property in the hamlet of Brasstown, specializes in courses rooted in the traditions of southern Appalachia.
"And we will cover Indian and Chinese as well, because they are the foundations of Malaysian cuisine," added our instructor Mary Lou Surgi. She would know, too, having lived in Southeast Asia for several years following a two-year stint as a Peace Corps volunteer in Malaysia.
Scandinavian Roots
Based on the concept of the Scandinavian folk school system, the Folk School is geared towards the development of individuals and their communities by offering courses in performing arts, agriculture, and crafts.
Since 1925, the school's well-established reputation has attracted both students and instructors from across the U.S. and even from overseas.
She came for a nine-week work/study program, and reckons it might not have been enough time. Work/Study students live at the Folk School and in exchange for each two-week work period, they take a one-week class of their choice.
It isn't by chance that such strong community bonds grow here. The recipe: plenty of knowledgeable, creative, and passionate people mixed together with lots of positive energy.
Become a Host
Most people, however, be they professionals from Atlanta or Raleigh or die-hard knitters from Vermont, come for the week or weekend-long courses.
Although he was busy teaching for the week, I found time to catch up with Norman Kennedy, a world-renowned weaver and folk singer.
During an evening program we listened to him sing traditional Scottish songs.
"They used to sing these while they were working in the mill or factory" he explained. Surprisingly, audience members jumped in when they could to enhance the chorus. No doubt he'll be back for Scottish Heritage week at the end of the summer.
John never lived to realize their dream, but after a visit to Europe in order to study the folk school system, his widow and her friend, Marguerite Butler, established this one in 1925 in his honor with popular local support and in-kind contributions.
One of the unexpected pleasures of the week was an introduction to contradancing. After being dragged onto the dance floor against my will, it only took an hour before I didn't want to leave. The live old-time music and dance caller was definitely the highlight.
Also part of the weekly program is the much anticipated "show and tell." Scheduled on Friday afternoon, it's a time to gather and show off the fruits of the week's labor.
As I drifted around the room with samples of quickly-disappearing vegetable curry puffs, I admired the quilters' patterns, the woodcarvers' creations, the elegance of the stained glass, and enjoyed a live performance from the mountain dulcimer class.
Originally I went to learn a cooking tradition from half-way around the world, but ended up taking home an appreciation to the Appalachian culture that I didn't even know existed in my back yard. And I took with me the much more important lesson of the importance of how a sense of community can enhance our life back home.More Info:
The John C. Campbell Folk School is located in Brasstown, N.C., about a two-hour drive from Atlanta, and offers 860 courses rooted in the traditions of Southern Appalachia and other cultures of the world. A free history center and archives, free weekly concert series, seasonal festivals, bi-monthly dances, a craft shop, and nature trails are all located on the premises. If you are not taking a course, the school is open to the community and welcomes visitors for self-guided studio tours.
Courses are offered all year and run from $512 for week-long and $290 for weekend courses, plus materials fees. Room and board starts at $402 for 6 days. For more information see www.folkschool.org.

The annual New Bern Women's Expo is a potpourri of products and services, which can be enjoyed singularly or as a family outing.
Saturday's event at the New Bern Riverfront Convention Center brought women — and some men — from near and far to check into shopping, free health screenings and more than a half-dozen educational sessions.
Fran Spaziante works part-time as a nurse educator for East Carolina University and like a throng of other women, she was impressed by the Coastal Carolina Health Care area, which featured a number of health screenings — blood sugar and pressure tests by New Bern Internal Medicine; arterial disease screening under the guidance of Dr. Frederick Dressler; and mamogrophy information, along with an education session on osteoporosis by Dr. Ronald Preston.
Others such as CarolinaEast and individual doctors, therapists and counselors also had information booths.
"I come every year because this is a great event," said Spaziante, an 11-year resident of New Bern, who moved here from the suburbs of New York City. "It does a lot for women, especially on health care."
Mandi Lewis of New Bern was one of the first 1,000 persons in the convention center and sported a free tote bag. It was her first visit to the expo.
"Family and friends told me about it and I just came to see what it is all about," she said.
There were beauty stations set up inside the main ballroom, such as Glamor Nails and Diva's Lane Mobile Spa, which had a seating section filled with women.
Across the aisle, Hairtage Salon and Day Spa of Jacksonville was making its first visit to the expo, and it also sported a host of ladies waiting.
Chrissy French of Bridgeton came to the expo to spend a day with her mother, Linda Caccavaro of River Bend. French decided to get a haircut and both mom and daughter said they planned to also have a therapeutic massage.
"Mainly, I wanted to spend time with my mother and see what there was," French said. "There is a lot."
Alicia Jarmon of Beaulaville packed the car with seven people - including her daughter Brianna and her friend — early Saturday for an hour-plus drive to see her first Women's Expo.
"We had heard about it and wanted to see what was going on and just have a good time," Jarmon said. "The girls signed autographs with the princess and had their photos made."
She was referring to the Crystal Coast Photo Booth from Cape Carteret, with photographer Bud Brasier and Princess Aurora.
The Crystal Coast Photo Booth, along with Glamour Nails, Mani's & Pedi's and Hairtage Day Spa were among the many vendors who actively supported the Expo's charity — the American Cancer Society.
The event was sponsored by CarolinaEast Medical Center, the Sun Journal, Coastal Carolina Health Care and V103.3.
There were also a number of free educational sessions, with topics ranging from acupuncture, abdominal contouring and health care reform to an overview by Interfaith Refugee Ministry on the refugees of Eastern North Carolina and legal advice for new businesses.
The Interfaith table was manned by two enthusiast volunteer teachers, Leah Huttlinger of Grover C. Fields Middle School and Kathleen Brinson of James W. Smith Elementary School. They volunteer in education components of the ministry and were handing out information and taking donations.
The Coastal Women's Forum, like Interfaith, was one of many nonprofits who were able to share their message and information.
"We have all ages and all backgrounds," said Women's Forum member Anita English. "There is a certain energy that the young professional bring and the wisdom that the retired women bring to our group."
The Women's Forum, according to member Susan Pittman, promotes "networking, education and encouragement."

Cool Hunter Mill District Initiative
The issue of climate change is no longer just a discussion of whether our climate is changing because of negative impact on the environment. The issue is what we will do to reduce our impact on the environment. We know there is much that can be done in our communities to protect the environment by reducing the impact of greenhouse emissions.
Fairfax County is helping to lead a national effort for counties to reduce global warming emissions 80 percent by 2050, an achievable average annual reduction of 2 percent. Although Fairfax County is committed in many ways to meet the greenhouse emission reduction goal, we realize that the problem is not just a problem for government. Each of us can and must do our part to protect the environment.
I am calling upon all Hunter Mill District residents, businesses and community organizations to join in the effort to be a Cool Hunter Mill District. Just small steps by each of us can translate to major impact on significant emissions reductions throughout the county.
We are not alone in this effort. Organizations in Hunter Mill District such as the National Wildlife Federation, Reston Association, Reston Environmental Action (REACT), Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, Town of Vienna, Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts, and many others are already making great strides.
I am asking you to join the Cool Hunter Mill District Initiative to help in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. You can join the effort by completing this on-line survey. In addition, please sign up to receive additional information regarding environmental initiatives.
You can make a difference; thank you for helping to do your part to help cool our little corner of the planet.
Supervisor Catherine M. Hudgins
Hunter Mill District

The Reds managed to beat the spirited Bulls in a tight affair at Suncorp Stadium.
The Reds led 13 – 6 at half time before streaking away to win 23 – 18.
The Reds were saved by the sideline in the dying seconds of the game as the Bulls pushed hard to come away with a win. JJ Engelbrecht was denied by literally milimeters as he stepped on the chalk before what the Bulls thought was a match winning try. The Reds scored two tries to nil, one on each half, to beat the six penalties scored by the Bulls.
The match was marred with plenty of errors, but was entertaining as both teams ran the ball and a few more tries were expected. The referee struggled through the match, looking very unsure of himself. He gave each team a yellow card for dangerous tackles, with neither being intentional. Jono Lance spent 10 minutes off the field after lifting a player, but putting him back on his back. Lionel Mapoe was ran into by James Slipper, and was deemed to have lifted the player, even though his intention was to simply stop him. The yellow card against the Bulls was costly as the Reds managed to score ten points against 14 men.
James Horwill made his return to Super Rugby by starting the match, and along with experienced campaigners such as Will Genia and Anthony Fainga'a all returning from injury, the Reds are building some momentum as they get into the competition. It was the replacing of Horwill and Genia that left the Reds unsettled, and the Bulls very nearly beat them as a result of that disruption.
Louis Fouche kicked well, but it was the lack of ball going wide that hindered the Bulls' progress. Jan Serfontein again made a telling contribution in the last ten minutes, and it cannot be very long until he starts a match. The lack of tries scored is what is keeping the Bulls on the losing side.
The Reds travel to Dunedin to take on the struggling Highlanders and the Bulls will face the Brumbies who will be travelling back to Canberra after their tour of South Africa.

|Step 3
|Step 4
|2. Warranty policy
Question : What is NIDECKER's warranty policy ?
Answer : All products made by NIDECKER have a one (1) year warranty against manufacturer's defects from the date of purchase from a NIDECKER Authorized Dealer. Further, this warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, excessive abuse or misuse, impacts of any kind, cosmetic issues, or damage related to, or resulting from, modifications made after purchase.
You MUST keep your sales receipt when you purchase a NIDECKER product. This is your proof of purchase and you will need to show this if you need to warranty your product. The warranty is only applicable to the original purchaser and is void if your product was purchased from another person or an unauthorized dealer (including, without limitation, Craig's List, Ebay, etc.) Please click here (Coming soon) to see a list of Authorized NIDECKER Dealers.
Question : What do I do if I think I have a warranty claim ?
If you think you may have defective product, you can take it back to the place of purchase or any Authorized NIDECKER Dealer. The Authorized NIDECKER Dealer will take a look at the product and help you determine the best course of action. The Authorized NIDECKER Dealer will call NIDECKER's warranty department or the regional distributor and get a RETURN AUTHORIZATION (RA) NUMBER so that the product can be sent back to NIDECKER and inspected.
Alternatively, if you purchased the product from an Authorized Online Dealer, you can contact the NIDECKER warranty department (in the U.S.) or your regional distributor (outside the U.S.) and arrange to send the product back yourself. A postage and handling fee may be charged if the product is returned to an Authorized NIDECKER Dealer that is outside of the country where the product was initially purchased. For product purchased online, the "country of purchase" is the location from which the online dealer shipped the product. Warranty claims made in the country where the product was purchased may still incur an administration/postage and handling fee unless prohibited by local laws.
Question : Do I need to register my NIDECKER product to qualify for NIDECKER's warranty ?
Answer : Your NIDECKER product currently does not need to be registered for warranty, but you will need a valid proof of purchase from an Authorized NIDECKER Dealer to pursue your warranty claim.
Question : Do I or the shop need a RETURN AUTHORIZATION # to return my product to NIDECKER ?
Answer : Yes. Individuals or shops are REQUIRED to obtain an RA# prior to returning product to NIDECKER.
Question : How long will it take to get my product (board/bindings/boots) back once I send it in ?
Answer : That will depend on how we handle the claim. Once we receive your product at our facility, please allow up to 5 business days for us to process the claim and determine whether your product will be replaced, repaired, or denied. If repairs are needed, the work may require an additional 7-14 days to complete. If not, we can usually process your claim and ship replacement product in a day or two. Please also factor in 2-7 business days of return shipping time as well, depending on your location.
Question : Will NIDECKER pay for the shipping costs for me to send the product back ? Can they send me a call tag to have the board picked up ?
Answer : No & No. Our basic warranty shipping policy is that the customer or shop pays to ship the product back to us and we pay to ship the repaired/replaced or denied product back to the customer or shop.
Question : What happens if NIDECKER is out of stock of the product that I need to have replaced ?
Answer : If we are out of stock of the model you have sent back, we will give you the option of choosing a different size of the same model, or any comparable model of equal or lesser value. If nothing is available in a comparable model or size, we will ship you a replacement product at the beginning of the next season.
Question : Can NIDECKER fix my board because I ran into something ?
Answer : No. We recommend consulting the Authorized NIDECKER Dealer who sold you the board. If you purchased your board from an Authorized Online Dealer, and do not have a local snowboard shop, we will be happy to help you find a reputable one nearby to do the repair.

|Congratulations to Our 2012 Quality Improvement Award Winners
ACH President and Physician-in-Chief Jonathan Ellen, M.D. presented the annual All Children's Hospital Quality Improvement Awards at a brief ceremony on Friday, March 1.
"The efforts we are celebrating today were designed, led and implemented by employees dedicated to doing the best for our patients and families," said Dr. Ellen. "They required teamwork, coordination, measurable objectives and a willingness to challenge the conventional way of doing things. They show that our employees are willing to ask important questions about how we can do things better, propose a solution, and be willing to adjust their thinking when data suggest a different approach."
He added, "As we pursue our Pathway to the Top we will put even greater focus on Quality and Patient Safety. These will be the key elements of our bright future-when we are doing our very best in this area it will impact every part of that Pathway."
Three unit-based projects tied for first place:
Hazardous Drug Handling - Easy as Red, Yellow, Green:
A Lean 5S Approach to Pyxis Supply Cabinet Improvements: The OR staff sought to reduce the time spent locating and retrieving supplies from the orthopedic Pyxis supply cabinets. The project team used 5S principles to reorganize the supply cabinets, reducing the estimated 1,100 hours per year that had been spent searching for items. This approach has proved sustainable and has been expanded within the OR and throughout other areas of the hospital. Congratulations to team members: Doug DeRosa, Annette Jenkins, Dan Pilla, Sarah Heacock, David Bryant, and Green Belts Todd Whipple and Chris Snyder.
The winning hospital-wide project was Medication Reconciliation: Optimizing Processes Leveraging Technology. This team included representatives of pharmacy, nursing, nursing education, clinical informatics, quality, IT and the ACH hospitalist program. Their goal was to improve the quality, reliability and utilization of the medication history entered into the electronic medical record at time of admission. They tested their proposed reconciliation process using the patients of the hospitalist service on the 8th floor.
Changes adopted following rapid cycle testing improved medication safety and made documentation a more efficient and reliable process. All of the participating prescribers and 93% of nurses in the pilot location agreed that the new process achieved its patient safety goals. The improvements have been sustained and make a valuable contribution to patient safety. Congratulations to team members Beth Carberry, Lisa Moore, Ron Ford, Chris Snyder, Hella Ewing, David Hunt, Joyce Anderson, Kathleen Arnold, Cindy Driscoll, Calvin Popovich, Gary Humphrey, Pam Neely, Rachel Pelaez, Julie Pham, Dipti Amin and Kristina Kochman.

09 February 2012 17:53 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--US chemical railcar traffic rose by 10.0% year on year for the week ended 4 February, according to data released by a rail industry group on Thursday.
There were 31,775 chemical railcar loadings last week, compared with 28,874 in the same week in 2011, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) said.
In the previous week ended 28 January, US weekly chemical railcar shipments fell by 1.6% year on year, marking its second decline so far this year.
The weekly chemical railcar loadings data are an important real-time measure of chemical industry activity and demand. Railcar loadings represent about 20% of US chemical transportation by tonnage, with trucks, barges and pipelines carrying the rest.
Year to date to 4 February, US chemical railcar loadings were up 0.1% to 149,827, compared with the same period in 2011.
