The first step in Cardinal Health's four-part approach to transforming the hospital pharmacy into a strategic asset is often the most discussed -- yet seldom truly optimized: Finding Meaningful Growth.
"Revenue solves all known problems" is one of Google's Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt's favorite business sayings. For a hospital, what would it mean to generate an extra $500,000 in annual profitability and another $500,000 in cost savings? Perhaps it wouldn't solve "all known problems," as Schmidt might say, yet it could certainly help fund other, critical initiatives.
Growth opportunities can be a powerful lever to lift profitability and turn a hospital pharmacy into a strategic asset, rather than a necessary cost center that manages expenses. Finding growth is a classic win-win business strategy. Customers (patients) reward a hospital when it delivers new and valued services. And hospitals benefit financially, and strategically, by unlocking hidden value from an undervalued asset -- the hospital pharmacy.
Cardinal Health's 4 F Framework for optimizing hospital pharmacies has four parts: "Find growth," "Fix inefficiencies," "Fulfill the quality care mission" and "Follow the patient." This article focuses on the first step: achieving meaningful growth through expanded services, better reimbursement capture and smart expense management. Two real-life success stories will help illustrate the impact a hospital pharmacy can have: Riverside Health System, a non-profit system based in Newport News, Va., and IASIS Healthcare, a for-profit health system headquartered in Franklin, Tenn.
Ideas from proven winners:
- Establish or expand an outpatient pharmacy.Thirty-eight percent of prescriptions are not filled post-discharge. And medication non-adherence is a leading cause of readmission. With new penalties for hospital readmissions, it's more important than ever that hospitals leverage outpatient pharmacies to help increase the likelihood that patients understand and adhere to their medications. An outpatient pharmacy can provide discharge medications to patients, provide an added convenience that drives patient satisfaction, help answer patient questions and monitor compliance post-discharge.
Outpatient pharmacies can also offer customized service to employees - including desk-side delivery of medications - as well as significant cost savings to the hospitals' prescription drug benefits.
"Having the pharmacy in-house means we can reliably direct people to generic drugs and other lower-cost alternatives, saving money in our health plan outlays," says Michael Doucette, vice president of operations for the Riverside Health System.
- Capture all available reimbursement. The federal government, especially under the Affordable Care Act, increasingly provides financial incentives for improving efficiency and care quality. Don't let reimbursement revenue slip away because the opportunity is hidden. A hospital can capture extra reimbursement dollars by helping its hospital improve patient care.
For example, IASIS Healthcare implemented a computerized physician order entry system (CPOE) that communicated directly and electronically to the hospital pharmacy to improve medication management. With consultation from Cardinal Health, IASIS Healthcare deployed electronic health records to successfully qualify for $32.2 million in incentive payments from Medicare in 2011-12, plus $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2013. (Helping hospitals meet the Meaningful Use Attainment criteria -- http://www.healthit.gov/providers-professionals/how-attain-meaningful-use -- is a Cardinal Health core competency.)
"The ability to communicate the prescription electronically to the pharmacist, have it reviewed, have it show up in the electronic medical record, and have the discharge medications rectified - all that is part of Meaningful Use," says Tedd Adair, vice president of clinical operations for IASIS Healthcare, which operates 16 acute care hospitals and other facilities in seven states.
- Consider the pharmacy's inventory as an untapped asset. Ready cash can sometimes be found by selling the pharmacy's inventory. For example, Cardinal Health recently took over management of a hospital pharmacy and bought the existing inventory. The transaction boosted the hospital's cash position by $5.98 million, lifted the institution's bond rating and helped finance the modernization of an aging facility.
The big picture take-away is this: New, meaningful growth is one of the most important steps in the journey to increasing a hospital pharmacy's strategic role. Optimizing the top line is a great way to improve the bottom line. (Google's co-founder has a point!) Expertise, resources and multi-disciplinary teams are all necessary ingredients for a hospital to leverage its pharmacy to find meaningful growth. Partners like Cardinal Health can help scale and provide expertise to help transform the pharmacy into a strategic asset for the hospital.

This is more likely to be php's fault than that of the distribution.

I to don't need all capital letters to get your point.
I am use to brackets once you lose you fall into the losers bracket and work your way back up. So I don't see one fight as passing all of the other competition up. Just my opinion and understand and resect yours
Not to mention that AO holds a win over #3 very recently.
Of course AO needs a win before JDS but the fight should still be of interest to JDS. Especially when he loses again.
A lot of people voiced displeasure in those decisions but thats the game now, and i can see where junior says " if other top guys are protecting their shots so am i".
im indiferent, and frankly can't see AO having anything to offer JDS. AO might be a cranked up beast but he still has a soft coconut.
I'd love to see this fight, just for the fact that I think JDS TOOLS Overeem, but if he doesn't feel he needs it, I'll go with that as well. War Cigano.

VA Prescription Benefits
Many veterans prefer to have their prescriptions filled at the St. Louis VA Medical Center to take advantage of the pharmacy benefit available to veterans.
The VA Medical Center Pharmacy cannot fill prescriptions written by non-VA physicians.
Patients are eligible for medications only for those conditions for which they are receiving active treatment at the VA Medical Center.
The VA Medical Center will not provide medications that are not listed on the VA Medication Formulary
Posted 07 March 2009 - 11:40 AM
Ya' gotta nurture your relationship with your VA PCP. If your PCP is not a good fit, ask for a transfer. As long as you have a good reason for wanting a transfer after the first one, you can get it no matter what the local VA policy is. Also, make it personal - make sure your VA PCP knows about you and your family - pull out pics of your kids, grandkids, etc. Talk about your hobbies, interests, and your life - they're human. I've been with mine for the past 4-years - she ain't perfect, but she'll read/listen to anything I bring in to her and she's made some huge mistakes (I either agree to disagree or let her think it was a good choice, but come up with something better a couple of days after your appointment). Don't complain and don't accuse - just do your homework and present things.
Get a fax machine and use it. They love faxes - write a note to your PCP accompanied with whatever you found on the Internet or a copy of a magazine article, etc. Faxes are read at the end of the day and they are more receptive to those than playing phone tag with you. A fax gives them a chance to deal with you and your problem when they have time to give you their attention - then, your PCP nurse will call you back. Get educated about whatever you're trying to discuss. They aren't able to fax you back, but believe me they prefer dealing with you via a fax rather than a phone call. Keep it short, to the point, and always mention thanks for taking their time to help you. My PCP's patient load has doubled in the past 2 years - but, I assure you they all can recognize me by first name.
AND....get to know your PCP nurse - they have increasingly more freedoms that you could ever imagine. Heck, I've even seen my PCP's receptionist put in blood work for me and she isn't even trained in any sort of medical specialty. Don't create an adversarial situation EVER & don't jump the chain of command - I even send Christmas cards and thank you notes. Make sure they can always put a name with a face.

The best advise I received was from a social worker with NORD (National Organization for Rare Disordrers). That my disease was rare and there were going to be mistakes made since there is no clear treatment plan. Go to a large hospital with the resourses to run all the very expensive test and can't cancel my isurance. Then she said to make some friends there with the doctors and staff and loose the attitude about what I thought I was entitled too. Life isn't fair and that it has been proven that patients that are likable get better care and have better surivial rates!!!!
None of my 20 drugs are on the VA formulary

They appear to be validating their own lack of desire to prescribe.
http://www.pbm.va.go...t Algorithm.pdf
I've been trying to use less costly pain killers for many years.
Because I pay the whole price outa my own pocket because the VA will not.
Nobody at the VA has the stones to prescribe anything for pain for more
than one month anyway.
When they do 'give' me a pain killer it's never been oxycodone, always
one of the cheaper ones that my system will not tolerate.
The main reason for not prescribing oxycodone is the cost to the VA.
Except for addicts, I don't know anybody who likes pain 'or the pills'
that give some relief.
Would I be buying most of my medications and all of the
over-the-counter stuff that is prescribed if I did not have to?
The VA has the best health care!
Compared to Ethiopia or Somalia.
The private sector is using the VA model of delivering health care to
model their own.
That's why private sector health care has gone down the tubes.
Copying something that the VA does to veterans is not something that
I would be proud of.

Caveat: you would probably need to be at least 70% svc connected in order for this to work.
At 50 percent SC VA is to provide all medical care to include prosthetics and RX's with no co-payment,
if that's what the vet wants. This includes any and all medical issues they don't have to be SC'd.
Posted 07 June 2010 - 07:34 PM
I tried the VA for a while but found that, with one exception, none of the meds I was taking for cholesterol, blood pressure and bad attitude were on the formulary and I had some fairly uncomfortable weeks trying to live through the chemical readjustment. I needed a specific variation of several meds that kept me on the level and feeling halfway well. It took about six months to get back to the proper meds and that was through a family doctor and a cardiologist.
Be careful.
Posted 08 June 2010 - 06:34 AM
Also, if the VA is not able to obtain and/or provide the medication you require, you can always ask the doc for a paper prescription and get it filled at the pharmacy of your choice.
Posted 28 July 2010 - 06:15 AM
I agree 100% with you about developing a relationship with your PCP. However I would bear in mind that the appointment allows you 20 minutes with him. If you run long it throws off his whole day and possibly short changes the next vet down the line.
I get my oxycodone monthly from my PCP with a phone call. My understanding is that 30 days is the maximum the feds will allow this prescription. And the new script has to be an original to the pharmacy, it can't be called in but they send it FedEx.. I see you have been posting a while so I am sure you have tried other PCPs. I am sorry to read of your experiences. I have always received top level compassionate care from the VA. Maybe you should keep shopping for a provider.
Posted 28 July 2010 - 07:05 AM
I also see my Medicare HMO Doc 4 times a year and I must say he is much more efficient as I usually see him in less than 20 minutes from arrival.
Posted 28 July 2010 - 07:33 AM
I think this must be your PCP, because my PCP does 6 refills for Hydro 10's (180 per month)......with a 3 month check-up in-between!
Nobody at the VA has the stones to prescribe anything for pain for more

I really hope you have better luck finding some kind of pain relief .......God Bless!

Great post! Always enjoy reading your post(s) John! God Bless!
I have used the VA opiate program. This was OK as long as you had no changes needed in your scripts. They would mail me the dope every month. As time progressed the drugs became less effective as is the usual case with narcotic pain meds. My PCP referred me to the ambulatory pain clinic for adjustment. Now I have to drag myself into the VAMC once a month and wait for an hour to see a different doctor each time. I have to wait around for the piss test. Then if I want my pain meds right away I have to wait at the VA for two hours to get the script. I spend the whole day for one script. This sucks! I pity anyone with chronic pain problems that relies on the VA. I think it is better to somehow just suffer the pain than to be on this hamster wheel. Better to just tie a block of concrete around your neck and jump into the nearest lake than be treated like a dope fiend.

Child Development Center
An Educational laboratory providing a high quality early childhood program for college students, faculty, staff, and community members. Our program promotes meaningful experiences, relationship development and a desire for lifelong learning.
Our Mission:To provide a safe, rich learning environment, one deliberately designed with much to explore and discover, to foster the learning of young children. We are dedicated to providing a model setting for local, state, and national early childhood professionals.
Our Philosophy and Curriculum:The Child Development Center philosophy and curriculum reflects the belief that children are competent and capable and that knowledge is constructed through exploration, self-expression, problem-solving, and investigation. A rich physical environment, one deliberately designed with much to explore and discover, is a powerful educational force and essential in helping young children learn. Therefore, much consideration is taken when designing the interior and exterior spaces of the classrooms, playground and curriculum in order to facilitate child-initiated, child-directed, and teacher-supported play. We also believe children need knowledgeable, nurturing, consistent teachers and caregivers who understand the stages of child development, respect family needs and promote cultural diversity. The staff is dedicated to building strong partnerships with families to enrich children's experiences.
The CDC staff is inspired by many experts, especially the work of the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy. The infant, toddler, and preschool programs in Reggio are known worldwide for their rich learning environments, thoughtful and meaningful documentation to make learning visible, respectful interactions with children, and strong and sincere relationships with families.
The curriculum is inspired by Developmentally Appropriate Practices, the Reggio Emilia philosophy, and the children! After observing the children using materials and listening to their conversations and theories, the teachers compare, discuss, and interpret together their observations and facilitate the children's learning based on these findings. In fact, the curriculum emerges in the process of each activity or project and is flexibly adjusted accordingly through this continuous dialogue among teachers and children. Projects can last from a few days to several months. They may start either from a chance event, an idea or a problem posed by one or more children, or an experience initiated directly by teachers.
High value is placed on children's words and ideas, as well as their play. Transcriptions of children's remarks and discussions, photographs of their activities and representations of their thinking and learning using many media are displayed to document their work.
Our Staff:The Child Development Center is staffed by educators who have Early Childhood degrees and have experience providing care and education for young children. Students in the Early Care and Education program participate in the Center by observing, documenting, assessing children's development and by facilitating experiences as required by their instructors.
Our Enrollment:Enrollment is available for children 3-years through 12-years old. Children are enrolled based on availability, the Center offers spaces to MGTC students, faculty and staff, and children of the community. The Center has two three year old rooms with a maximum enrollment of 18 per room, and two state funded Pre-K rooms with a maximum enrollment of 22 per room. Before and after school groups have a maximum enrollment of 20.
Hours of Operation:The Center is open Monday through Friday 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. except for scheduled holidays and professional development days. The Center calendar will align close to that of Middle Georgia Technical College.
Licensure:The Center is licensed to operate by Bright from the Start Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning.
Accreditation:The Center is in the self-study portion of the NAEYC Accreditation process.
Visitors:As a community of learners the children, families, and educators at the Child Development Center embrace the opportunity to share our work with others. Please feel free to contact us with inquiries and requests to visit the school. Please contact the Center at 478.988.6824
The Child Development Center Educational Laboratory is now accepting applications for children 3-12 for enrollment!

Lagos — Operatives of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in the early hours of yesterday engaged suspected petroleum pipeline vandals at 7th Avenue area of FESTAC Town, Lagos in a gun battle.
At the end of the operation which residents say lasted for about 2 hours, a yet to be ascertained number of persons were said to have been injured.
Recovered from the vandals after the shoot-out were 286 50 litres jerry cans already filled with petroleum products suspected to be Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).
Daily Trust learnt that the operatives mounted surveillance in the area following information from residents who feared that the activities of the vandals could cause an explosion if not checked.
The source also told Daily Trust that the operation started around 1am yesterday when they sighted the vandals scooping fuel from an already ruptured Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) pipeline.
It was learnt that the vandals opened fire as soon as they sighted the operatives, and that the development led to a gun battle.
A source at the NSCDC headquarters in Alausa told Daily Trust that when the vandals who were badly injured during the exchange of fire discovered that they had been overpowered, they abandoned their filled jerry cans and fled.
Confirming the incident, the Lagos Commandant of the NSCDC, Mr Obafaiye Shem, said operatives recovered the products from the fleeing vandals, adding that the suspects fled due to what he described as superior fire power of his officers.
"Following a tip-off, our men laid ambush for the vandals who have been vandalising pipelines at 7th Avenue, FESTAC. We also blocked them at Ije-Ododo area. On sighting my men, they opened fire on them, but we overpowered them and forced them to abandon their looted fuel and fled," he said.

Ram Kripal Yadav has put himself to the test. Having broken away from the RJD, he is testing his strength as a "field man" after five years as the "boy in the house" that he claims Lalu Prasad had made him.
The Pataliputra battle has become one of prestige between Lalu, who has fielded his daughter Misa Bharati, and Ram Kripal, his loyalist for three decades who has joined the BJP. With the crucial Yadav vote set to be divided, Ram Kripal is also trying to woo core supporters of the BJP, the upper-caste Hindus.
On Saturday, he begins his field trip on a white Fortuner with a visit to Mohan Singh at Bishnupura village, which has over 5,000 upper-caste Rajputs. Singh has lost his 24-year-old son, Randhir Kumar, an SSB constable in Bahraich, UP, shot dead by a colleague, allegedly over a fight over a mobile.
Ram Kripal listens to the father's version and tells him he is not convinced with the SSB version. A village doctor shows him the postmortem report and says Randhir was hit only in the thigh and died because he was taken to a hospital too late. "Please let me know if you need my assistance," Ram Kripal says, hands folded.
At Bihta town, he visits a Shiva temple before meeting voters. R K Singh, 20, of adjoining Bilap village, says, "Now, everything is clear," and explains, "Ram Kripalji was already popular. Now that he is with the BJP, many Yadavs and almost all upper-caste people are with him. It is another MY (Modi-Yadav) working for him against Lalu's MY (Muslim-Yadav)."
A group from Daulatpur, Kunjwa and Dayalpur, waits outside the temple. They too say they have always been supporters of Ram Kripal. "We have shifted from RJD to BJP," says Raju Yadav.
At Yadav-dominated Dilawarpur, former mukhiya Sanjay Yadav leads him to voters. Ram Kripal rides a motorbike for a while and then walks to every house. A group of women wonder if the road outside their house will be repaired. Asked who will win, a woman says: "Our men decide that." Dhananjay Kumar puts in: "Ram Kripal stands a good chance as he stays connected." Villagers say it is a straight fight between Misa and Ram Kripal with sitting JD (U) MP Ranjan Prasad Yadav "out of the running".
After a bumpy ride for a few kilometres comes Dariaypur of upper-caste Brahmins and Bhumihars. Brahmin elders complain that it is only after joining the BJP that Ram Kripal has visited them. He promises to visit them more often.
Jogipur's Yadavs are not as supportive. They complain about no MLA or MP fulfilling their promises about roads and electricity. Sensing the mood, Ram Kripal speaks through a mike in the car. "Trust me, roads will be built after the elections." He goes on to explain why he had to shift sides: "The RJD suffered many downs …continued »

Event Details
South Berkshire Concerts: Schubert's song-cycle "Die Winterreise" (Winter's Journey), with John Cheek, bass-baritone, and Larry Wallach, piano
When: Sun Dec 04 • 3:00 pm
Where: Kellogg Music Center
In his introduction to the published score, Professor Max Müller, son of the poet Wilhelm Müller, remarks that Schubert's two song-cycles have a dramatic effect not unlike that of a full-scale tragic opera, particularly when performed by great singers…. Like Die schöne Müllerin, Schubert's Winterreise is not merely a collection of songs upon a single theme (lost or unrequited love) but is in effect one single dramatic monologue, lasting over an hour in performance.… The intensity and the emotional inflexions of the poetry are carefully built up to express the sorrows of the lover, and are developed to an almost pathological degree from the first to the last note.
The songs represent the voice of the poet as the lover, and form a distinct narrative and dramatic sequence…. In the course of the cycle the poet, whose beloved now fancies someone else, leaves his beloved's house secretly at night, quits the town and follows the river and the steep ways to a village. Having longed for death, he is at last reconciled to his loneliness. The cold, darkness, and barren winter landscape mirror the feelings in his heart, and he encounters various people and things along the way which form the subject of the successive songs during his lonely journey. It is in fact an allegorical journey of the heart.
One of the most accomplished singers of our time, John Cheek continually meets with high acclaim for his artistic productions. Since his initial debut, he appeared at the Metropolitan Opera in more than 360 performances; his roles include the title role in Le nozze di Figaro (at Lincoln Center and on tour in Japan), Leporello in Don Giovanni, Publio in La clemenza di Tito and Don Alfonso in Cosi Fan Tutte, as well as Colline in La Boheme and Alvise in La Gioconda. Mr. Cheek performed these roles with James Levine conducting.
His versatility reflects a repertoire encompassing an enormous variety of music, ranging from the Baroque era to many world premieres by composers such as Sir Michael Tippett, Ned Rorem, and David Diamond. Mr. Cheek created the role of Lawyer Royal in Stephen Paulus's Summer, and the title role in Romeo Cascarino's William Penn at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia.
His many recordings include The Rake's Progress (Nick Shadow) conducted by Robert Craft, Handel's Messiah (RCA), Dvorak's Stabat Mater with the New Jersey Symphony, Handel's last opera Deidameia (Albany), and Haydn's Creation, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, and Boito's Mefistofele: Prologue with Robert Shaw and the Atlanta Symphony.

A second take to make a portrait of this character, the first sketch attached on the left. I painted it more in 2009, but don't like the result thus take#2. I may treat it as a WIP or a concept, haven't decided yet. Jan 2009 face concept:
And some of 2010 sketches. I've got old sb at CGTalk and Epilogue forums, here let it be a fresh start.

Looks like you're working hard. I really like that Reubens study.
Try to loosen up some — those scribbly pencil lines aren't pretty and (if you're like me) they'll confuse you when you're trying to bring a piece to a finish. Try drawing with pen for a few weeks to force yourself to build confidence.

Good advice! Indeed I need more confidence in many fields, that shows up in lines. Thank you for the comment!

Finalizing this one. I know I overdone details, can't drop them now. Or maybe can, but still want to see what if I do all (though I have problem with the snake ). In any case I still have the old variant. Image started a year ago, both variants:
Hel of Nordic mythology, digital ink in Painter.

Haven't updated in 2 years, haven't done much either. Each time I have a break I feel like learning all again from scratch.
The woman in red, haven't finshed her, yet:
Took some ice on canvas instead - Eldar crossing the Grinding Ice in The Silmarillion:
Worked more on the first idea and the face alone:

and overdosed the freezing snow:
The final stage of the first concept; the wider variant will be continued.

Detailed assignment descriptions are the instructions that your teacher gives you to complete an assignment. These instructions may include the topic or choice of topics, specific questions that you need to answer, the format, the length, and the due date for the assignment.
OWL tutors need to see these descriptions in order to make sure that you are doing the assignment correctly and to give you the best advice possible. You can copy and paste detailed assignment descriptions from your online classes or copy them from your instructors' handouts.

US zoo names panda cub 'Bao Bao'—or 'Treasure'
Washington's National Zoo named its giant panda cub Bao Bao on Sunday but fans will have to wait a month before they can get their first glimpse of the furry creature.
Washington's National Zoo named its giant panda cub Bao Bao on Sunday but fans will have to wait a month before they can get their first glimpse of the furry creature.
An ultrasound has confirmed that a giant panda at Atlanta's zoo is pregnant with her fourth cub and will likely give birth later this month, zoo officials said Tuesday.
The giant panda cub born 13 days ago at the National Zoo in Washington is female and she has a live-in dad, the zoo said Thursday.
The National Zoo's giant panda cub has been given a clean bill of health after its first veterinarian exam.
Four pregnant pandas bred in captivity have been released into an area of forest in southwest China to prepare their cubs for life in the wild, state media reported.
The National Zoo in Washington put out an all-points bulletin via Twitter on Monday after one of its raccoon-like red pandas went missing.
(AP) -- China announced the first successful birth of a panda cub from artificial insemination using frozen sperm, giving a new option for the famously unfertile endangered species, officials said Friday.
A one-day-old panda cub born in Thailand after years of artificial insemination and efforts to get its celibate parents to mate is a healthy female with a loud cry, a zoo official said Thursday.
US-born panda cub Tai Shan will next week leave the National Zoo in Washington and head in grand style for a new life in China -- on board a Federal Express cargo plane, according to officials.

AMI advances Smart Grid... Progress for demand response and metering...Digital signal processing is key to Smart Grid...
By: SGN Staff
AMI to pave path towards Smart Grid. Smart metering will make even greater leaps when used to enable distribution automation, demand response, load management, and real-time pricing, Dave Turner points out in a Utility Automation & Engineering T&D article. Although many utilities still contend that it is in their best interest to wait until Smart Grid standards are further along, a good number of companies are taking a proactive approach by selecting and deploying advanced metering infrastructures (AMI) and smart grid enabling technologies to ensure they are properly positioned for the future. According to Turner, technologies based on robust standards that are remotely re-programmable and capable of communicating across multiple communications platforms will be essential forces in driving the Smart Grid.
QuickTake: The article offers a persuasive commentary on the potential of AMI. Turner recognizes the impact that state regulatory agencies could have on the Smart Grid if they were to provide financial incentives for utilities to transition to smart metering technology. Perhaps regulatory agencies could change the funding structure and allow accelerated depreciation on existing meters. That just might be the nudge that utilities need to come on board.
Utility Automation & Engineering T&D Article
Demand response and advanced metering shows growth. According to a recent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) report, demand response and advanced metering programs have grown significantly over the past year. The report indicates an increase in the number of demand response programs, the number of states introducing opportunities for demand response, and the important role that demand response is playing in organized wholesale power markets. In 2006 demand response lowered the consumption of electricity by 1.4 to 4.1 percent during periods of peak demand on the systems, the report estimates. The future for advanced metering implementation also looks bright. The report predicts that more than 40 million new advanced meters are likely to be deployed in the next several years.
QuickTake: The report is expected to be of great value to policy makers, utilities, regulators, and consumers in the electric resource sector, surmises FERC Commissioner Jon Wellinghoff. Here we see a shift in mindset from should we do it?â€"to how do we do it?
Digital signal processing is key to Smart Grid. An intelligent grid will analyze data for control purposes, asset monitoring, power-quality monitoring, and outage intelligence, says Jeffrey Taft, the chief intelligent-grid architect for IBM's Global Business Services, in an interview published by Electronics Design News (EDN). According to Taft, an intelligent power grid adds instrumentation to the grid devices, to the substations, and to the lines themselves. The grid also collects massive amounts of data, which is processed and dealt with in an automated manner. Utilities can benefit from grid technology by more effectively measuring and maintaining power quality and reliability, performing sophisticated grid control, maximizing asset utilization, and swiftly responding to problems.
QuickTake: Taft is credible in his assertion that digital-signal processing is paramount to the intelligent grid. He also offers insights into how advanced signal understanding through analytics transforms signal data into information that can be acted upon both by people and automated systems.
EUCI conference to advance strategic approach to Smart Grid. Scheduled October 15 - 16 at the Hilton Hotel in Del Mar, California, the conference will explore a variety of strategic and tactical issues in implementing a Smart Grid Network. Some of these issues include cases for business strategies and value streams, improving T&D operations, and reducing operating costs associated with metering, communications, and automation. Sponsored by EUCIâ€"a major provider of conferences, seminars, workshops and courses related to the energy industryâ€"the event is expected to bring together utility executives, experts from the GridWise Alliance, and other key stakeholders.
Grid Interop Forum Nov. 7. The GridWise Architecture Council is hosting the first Grid Interop Forum, to be held in Albuquerque, NM, November 7 - November 9, 2007.This forum will feature various grid experts and numerous opportunities to collaborate and help determine the future architecture and design of an integrated, transactive electrical grid system.

Ravens running back Ray Rice knocked his fiancee unconscious in an altercation at an Atlantic City casino over the weekend, according to a complaint filed by police, who said Wednesday that they have referred the case to county prosecutors for review.
The revelation came as a video clip showing the aftermath of the incident was posted online. The 50-second video, obtained by the website TMZ, shows Rice lifting fiancee Janay Palmer by her arms out of an elevator in the Revel Casino and laying her on the ground. She appears limp as he pulls her legs away from the elevator's doors and props her up.

If you've found this web page, you're probably looking for the audio samples accompanying the 2000 edition of "Tuva or Bust" by Ralph Leighton. Page 60 of the book describes the arrival of the LP record "Melodii Tuvy" in the mail from Sevyan Vainshtein; in those days, Ralph had to dust off the record player, clean the needle, carefully place the record on the platen, and hold his breath before lowering the needle to the record.
Today, all you have to do is click and listen!
The streaming audio samples require RealPlayer; you can get your copy of RealPlayer for free at their WWW site.
These samples are excerpts from Bands 1 and 9, Side A, of Melodii Tuvy (GOST 5289-73, 33D-030773) and were included on a red Evatone soundsheet in the 1991 hardcover edition of "Tuva or Bust!".
PS - click on the image of the cover to get a larger version of the book cover!
PPS - if you haven't read the book yet, here's a review sent to us from A Reader's Journal. I'll warn you, this review gives away the ending, so decide in advance whether you want to know the final outcome before you read the book.

5. Victor Valdes
Victor Valdes does not always receive the credit or recognition that he so richly deserves.
His gifted teammates have taken most of the plaudits over the past decade, but without Valdes they might not have been so fluid.
The 31-year-old is the best goalkeeper in the world with the ball at his feet - and his distribution skills have instigated many Barcelona attacks over the years.
His decision to leave the Camp Nou at the end of the season leaves the Catalan giants with a huge task to successfully replace him.

a delivery guy got hit by a car. nobody was even doing anything, i was the only one trying to help this poor mexican in the floor and the only one who called an ambulance. rich people are so cold and heartless. they (without seeing the accident) were already on the rich guy's side. it happened in an avenue where there is nothing but fancy buildings that's how i knew they were rich.
I saw a man walk into a children's playground with a rifle.
there was a car accident right out in front of my house.
Because someone stole my car stereo. :[
No, wait! There was a time after that when I thought someone had stolen my car, but actually it had gotten towed by mistake. And guess what? I still had to pay to get the ************ out of impound even though I hadn't done anything wrong.

Hoosiers Look to Take the Boiler Down
Jan. 13, 2011
Sherrill won the shot put. Her heave of 18.00m (59-0.75) broke the Big Ten record by two feet and 6.5 inches. Monique Riddick posted a throw of 15.87m (52-1) for second place.
Drouin cleared 2.27m (7-5.25) for the win in the high jump. He bettered the NCAA Automatic Qualifying standard of 2.24m. Drouin also showed some versatility by winning the 60m hurdles on the day as well in a career-best 8.16 seconds.
Kelsey Duerksen clocked a time of 4:50.81 to take the win in the mile. She was followed in by teammates Chelsea Blanchard (2nd, 4:51.00) and Samantha Ginther (3rd, 4:53.46). Duerksen also posted a win in the 800 meters on the day with a time of 2:15.67.
Chris Vaughn was the winner in the 200m in 21.64 seconds. Kind Butler posted a time of 6.80 to win the 60m dash. Devin Pipkin was second in 6.85. In the men's 800 meters, Hoosiers took the top-five spots for collegiate runners, including Andy Bayer (1:50.73), Joe Holahan (1:51.11) and Danny Stockberger (1:51.21).
Patrick Onye won the weight throw with a heave of 19.12m (62-8.75). Emma Kimoto won the high jump, clearing 1.70m (5-7), and Kristen Crawford won the weight throw with a heave of 18.84m (61-9.75) while Sherrill was second (18.78m (61-7.5)).
Other Hoosiers winning on the day were Kelsie Ahbe in the pole vault, Cedric Hudson in the long jump, Rex Parker in the triple jump and Derek Messmer in the pole vault. The Hoosiers also got wins from Butler, Vaughn, Ryan Hindes and Matt Gerbick in the men's 4x400m relay with a time of 3:17.00 and Aireonna Bailey, Ann-Marie Clarke, Fabrina Espinoza and Ruth Christopher in the women's 4x400m relay in 3:53.66.
Coming into the Indiana Open, Sherrill held the IU record in the shot put at 16.80m. With her first throw, she took the record books to a different level. Her heave of 18.00m (59-0.75) broke the Big Ten record by two feet and 6.5 inches, her school record by three feet 11.25 inches, the Gladstein Fieldhouse record by 3.5 inches and bettered the NCAA automatic qualifying standard by three feet 7.25 inches. In the young season, she is the only Div. I thrower to surpass 17 meters, let alone 18. Perhaps putting Sherrill's throw in perspective, it is the 10th-best collegiate throw all-time and the eighth-best collegiate throw ever by an American. The performance earned Sherrill Big Ten Field Athlete of the Week honors for the third time in her career.
Drouin cleared 2.27m (7-5.25) in the high jump which ties him for the national lead in the high jump. He bettered the NCAA Automatic Qualifying standard of 2.24m. Drouin finished out with three solid attempts at 2.30m, which is the Big Ten record as well as a qualifying height for the IAAF World Indoor Championships. Drouin also showed some versatility by winning the 60m hurdles on the day as well in a career-best 8.16 seconds, which is the fifth-fastest time in IU history and ranks among the nation's top 35 this season.
Neuenswander will compete alongside sophomore Kelsie Ahbe for the first time at the Indiana Open. Ahbe had a breakout freshman campaign in 2010, advancing to the NCAA Outdoor Championships and the IAAF Jr. World Championships. Neuenswander, Ahbe and senior Stephanie Chin have all advanced to an NCAA Championship meet, and will look to dominate the Big Ten this season, and hopefully advance more than one woman to a single NCAA meet in the pole vault for the first time in school history. Indiana is the only program in Div. I with three NCAA qualifiers in the women's pole vault returning for the 2011 season.
Hoosiers were competing at levels never seen before at Indiana University, as evidenced by the 10 IU records broken over the course of the year. Hoosiers garnered three Big Ten Athlete of the Year awards, two IU Athlete of the Year awards and Derek Drouin claimed indoor and outdoor NCAA titles in the high jump.
At the NCAA Indoor Championships, the IU men finished in the top 10 for the first time in five years, placing sixth overall. Indiana got five top-three finishes at NCAA meets over the course of the year and won nine Big Ten individual titles. In cross country, the Hoosier men took a runner-up finish at the Big Ten Championships and followed that up with a seventh-place showing at NCAAs, led by All-American Andrew Poore.

Since last week's post was about budget gowns, I thought that I'd revisit a topic I covered in the News Journal in 2008.

Cute Eco-Chic DIY Wedding. | weddinggawker.
Being eco-chic does not mean that you have to sacrifice style. "Small changes add up," said Anderson. "Together, they can have a global economic and environmental impact."
The "eco" in "eco-chic" should stand for choices which are good for both the economy and the environment. As an advocate a sustainable style, one that exists in harmony with natural resources, Anderson said that many brides add another layer to their wedding planning when they focus on recycling. By simplifying your wedding in an eco-chic manner, you can reduce bridal jitters and fully enjoy your day.
Try to separate those things which are truly important to you from those that are a marketing message. "It's your day," said Anderson, "you don't have to do anything. Brides should take the confidence they have from their everyday life and carry it through their weddings."
The wedding planning process is a good time to start thinking of yourselves as a couple, said Anderson, and make your decisions jointly. Many couples pay for a significant portion of their wedding. As a result of the drive to create a "once in a lifetime" moment, they find themselves going into debt. Financial concerns are one of the leading causes of stress in marriages.
A look at three big ticket wedding items shows you ways your can keep your wedding eco-chic.

The ruling People's Democratic Party, PDP, and the All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday, in the House of Representatives gave a foretaste of their battle for supremacy when their representatives tested their might in the House.
The battle for supremacy was sparked off when the Minority Leader, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila (APC, Lagos) deliberately referred to the Deputy Majority Leader, Leo Ogor as deputy minority leader, sparking off a verbal war between members of the All Progressives Congress, APC and the ruling People's Democratic Party, PDP.
The uproar followed a motion brought to the floor by Sani Madaki (APC, Kano) under matters of urgent national importance entitled: "The Urgent Need to Save Our Nascent Democracy."
While moving the motion, in which Madaki deliberately referred to Leo Ogor as the deputy minority leader of the House, he asked the Federal Government to sack the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar and the Rivers State Police Commissioner, Mbu Joseph Mbu over their alleged poor handling of the Rivers State political crises.
Obviously, his statement arose from the impending and controversial change of House leadership due to APC's numerical strength occasioned by the defection of 37 PDP members to the APC, which has made the former opposition party to have more members than the PDP in the House.
Madaki's reference to Ogor as deputy minority leader did not go down well with PDP members as he had hardly finished his presentation when the drama started.
The drama
Some PDP members who were irked by his remarks moved towards Madaki, apparently to molest him but the
APC members formed a ring around him and started shouting to save him from being mobbed.
Ogor (PDP, Isoko Federal Constituency, Delta) had while contributing to Madaki's motion quoted Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution, which provided for fair hearing and insisted that both IGP Abubakar and Mbu should be given the opportunity to defend themselves. He was instantly shouted down by APC members.
It was at this juncture that the Speaker of the House, Aminu Tambuwal gave Gbajabiamila an audience to puncture Ogor's submission.
Gbajabiamila was trying to buttress his point when he referred to Ogor as Deputy Minority Leader, thus further heating the charged atmosphere. The remark sparked off trouble.
The House was thrown into a rowdy session for close to 25 minutes as Speaker Aminu Waziri Tambuwal watched in astonishment. The APC members shouted their party slogan throughout the period while PDP members also shouted PDP's slogan.
However, while the commotion was on most members left their seats to discuss the issue, others like Deputy Speaker, Emeka Ihedioha; Ogbuefi Ozomgbachi, Toby Okechukwu, Deputy Minority Leader, Kawu Sumaila among others also consulted the Speaker.
At a point, Rep Bashir Adamu, who approached to Gbajabiamila in protest was seen shouting on top of his voice as members around tried to calm him down.
It took great efforts from Tambuwal to calm members and settle the uproar.
The APC members had in a meeting on Monday planned to change the leadership of the House at plenary yesterday, but Tambuwal reportedly pleaded with them not to do so based on a court order restraining them.
Tambuwal saves the day
In dousing the issue, Tambuwal said: "The Minority Leader Femi Gbajabiamila who is a very senior lawyer and member of the House presented us with a very expensive joke of the New Year.
"We have our rules and procedures. We are aware of the change of leadership issue and the recent court order on that. In fact, we have been served with the order. But be that as it may, whether it was a slip of tongue, there is a court order," he said.
Tambuwal warned that as lawmakers, they should be the last set of people to disobey a court order no matter the situation.
He cited the 1993 presidential election where he said MKO Abiola was on his way to winning when the election was annulled.
But Gbajabiamila stood his ground on the issue, saying he was only referring to a statement of fact since APC now has the majority in the House.
Citing the House Rules, Gbajabiamila said "the majority shall... and the minority shall... In reverence to your office and your position Mr Speaker, I now refer to Hon Leo Ogor as Hon Leo Ogor," he concluded, before moving to shake hands with Ogor. He did not speak further as some members disrupted his explanation once again.
The motion that moved the House
Madaki in his motion had moved that the House should ask President Goodluck Jonathan to remove the Inspector General of Police from office within two weeks, failing which the National Assembly would take appropriate measures in the circumstances.
He also moved that the House should urge the Police Service Commission to dismiss Mr. Mbu from the Police and that the Federal Ministry of Justice should initiate the prosecution of the Rivers State Commissioner of police, Joseph Mbu.
He further urged the House to "mandate the committee on Interior, National Security and Police Affairs to liaise with the relevant government bodies to ensure the implementation of the House Resolution on this matter and report back to the House within four weeks."
However, Tambuwal said the prayers of the motion had some implications and referred it to the committees on Rules and Business, Judiciary and Justice to study and advise the House on what to do.
Also yesterday, Rep Emmanuel Jime from Benue State defected from PDP to APC while Francis Hananiya of APC, Adamawa decamped to PDP just as Sulayman Konbi defected from DPP to APC, while Ganama Kwaga left APC for PDP.
With the new configuration of the House, APC now has 172 members while the PDP has 171.
APC legislators to obey court order
Members of the APC, yesterday said they would now abide by a court order, restraining them from making leadership change in the chamber.
An Abuja Federal High Court had Monday restrained any leadership change in the House, following a suit filed by the PDP praying for the court to stop APC lawmakers from carrying out such changes.
Earlier, the APC lawmakers had vowed to disobey the court order saying it was procured through the black market.
The members had premised their reason for not respecting the ruling on alleged lack of jurisdiction by the court to entertain the matter, as it was purely an internal affair of the Legislature.
But the APC members, after another caucus meeting prior to the commencement of the plenary, yesterday, resolved to abide by the court order until February 3, when hearing would resume on the matter.
Minority leader of the House, Gbajabiamila, said at a press briefing shortly after the plenary: "APC members have now taken a decision to abide by the court's order for now. Once we study the order, we will vacate the judgment. We want Nigerians to know that what happened today has ridiculed the government of Nigeria because this is the only parliament in the whole world where the minority party retains the position of majority and the majority party remain minority."
He said his reference to the deputy majority leader as the deputy minority leader at the session "was simply a fact", stressing that "the slim majority of 171-172 is not actual, as the last check revealed that APC has a majority of about 20 members."

Miriam rolls out new pick-up lines a day after tense hearing
A day after chairing a tense Senate panel hearing on allegations against resigned Interior Undersecretary Rico Puno, Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago on Saturday turned comic again with new pick-up lines that were met with cheers and happy hoots from her mostly coillege-age audience.
Miriam Defensor-Santiago defends RH Bill. Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago defends the Reproductive Health Bill during a forum at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City on Saturday. Analy Labor
She opened her keynote speech at a gathering organized by a pro-RH bill group at UP Diliman, Quezon City, with several one-liners that have become unforgettable punctuations in the senator's speaking engagements.
Here is the newest batch of "pick-up" lines from the feisty senator:
"Sana birthday candle ka na lang, para habang pinapatay kita, pumapalakpak sila."
"Pumupunta ka ba sa gym? Kasi feeling ko, magwo-work out tayo."
"Ang pagmamahal ko sa iyo parang bilbil. Pilit ko man tinatago, halata pa rin."
"Alam mo ba kung saan gawa ang t-shirt ko? Gawa ito sa boyfriend material."
"May bakery ba ang magulang mo? Kasi isa kang cutie pie."
"Cashier ka ba? Kasi mukha kang bayaran."
"Sabi nila, a picture is worth a thousand words. Pero noong nakita ko ang picture mo, tatlong words lang naisip ko: I love you."
"Wala naman talagang pangit, sadyang nasobrahan lang ako sa ganda."
"Kung kasalanan ang maging maganda, huwag kang mag-alala, wala kang kasalanan."
Her jokes stood in contrast to the tense Senate hearing on Friday when Santiago grilled Puno about various issues raised against him.
These include Puno's "unatuhorized" attempt to enter the condominium unit of the late Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo a day after the he died in a plane crash; Puno's alleged role in the controversial purchase of high-powered pistols for the Philippine National Police, and his alleged involvement in the illegal numbers game jueteng.
Despite being dissatisfied with Puno's answers, Santiago decided to discontinue probing him. — LBG, GMA News

I suppose I should ask this: has anyone gotten pymusique to work?
Apple blocked it in March, and then the authors fixed pymusique to
work again (I see blog entries dating to March 22 indicating that it
was fixed). Has Apple blocked it again since March 22?
Or is the signup simply broken, implying that I'll be able to use
pymusique if I sign up first with the official client?

Rat Snakes
Then rat snakes are long and very powerful constrictors. The adult rat snakes have 3 distinguished color patterns, and they pre-dominantly range from being plain, striped and blotched. The plain snake is usually black, the striped one can have a multitude of colors, and the blotched one is usually light gray, yellow or brown.
The breeding of the rat snakes takes place from April to June and even in autumn. The females lays about 5-30 smooth shelled eggs under leaves or rocks, which hatch from August-October.
Rat snakes dwell in canyons, hardwood forest, swamps, farmlands, fields or even barns. They are found in Ontario, Vermont, Texas, Mexico, Minnesota and Michigan.
Rat snakes are adept at climbing trees and rafters in their quest to look for food. They prey on eggs, birds, mice, lizards and small mammals.

Good luck.
I agree, flipping the swing arm is a major operation. You would have to relocate the shock mount which is an absolutely critical part, as well as figuring out something for the upside-down brake caliper and chain guide. Way too much work, and I think it can be solved differently.

Some welding will definitely be needed for the brake caliper carrier locating pin (or what ever you call that bracket that you slide the carrier on from the back). This is not the only problem though, as the carrier and caliper would be the mirror image of what you need, facing the wrong direction.
I thought about two possible solutions for this:
- Use an EXC carrier/caliper. They are left hand drive and use the same hub (20mm axle) and 220mm brake disc as the LC4.
- Use a DR650 carrier/caliper. Left hand drive as well, 20mm axle. Made for a 240mm brake disc, which can be solved by using a 950/990 disc (240mm) on the LC4 wheel (same bolt circle). This along with custom spacers was the solution for running KTM wheels on my DR.
I should still have a Duke swing arm somewhere in the garage (I assume this is similar to the LC4 one), and will try to work this out when we get our EXC back.

That's a good suggestion, and something I have considered as well. Always loved the idea of a swing arm so wide that it would allow 5.5" rim, as I could then also run a supermoto wheel set with the left over 180 tires from my track bike.
My concern was the material the swing arm was made of, and how I (or rather a buddy) could weld on the carrier locting pin. I know that it's cast, which makes it difficult either way. But I have also read that it is made of magnesium, can anybody confirm this?

Cal Bears tailgating in Berkeley
By awoodall
Monday, November 16th, 2009 at 12:25 pm in Night Owl, Uncategorized.
A video illustrating the Cal Bears garage tailgaiting tradition taken Saturday on the north side of campus during the last game of the season.
It's hard to see but the garage on the north side was full of Bears fans with their indoor tailgate parties set up . It was close to kickoff which might be why this guy decided he had enough of his mimosa and turned his champagne glass upside down over the bushes. CheersThe guy dressed head to toe in blue and gold stripes passing by that morning was the tip off that I had unsuspectedly wandered into Cal game territory on the wrong day. Not that game day would normally concern me but I happened to be looking for parking that morning and the garages were off limits to non-football fans. The video explains why.

The Starkville Academy Lady Volunteers have all of the pieces to make a successful run in the postseason.
All of those pieces were on display Friday night as the Lady Vols got what could be considered their biggest win of the season, an impressive 40-25 decision over the traditionally-strong Pillow Academy Lady Mustangs.
It has certainly been interesting to follow the SA girls squad this season under the leadership of veteran coach Glenn Schmidt.
The Lady Vols sport a solid inside game with Sallie Kate Richardson. She probably didn't have her best game against Pillow, but still managed to record a double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds.
Richardson is only a sophomore, which is amazing to consider, so she still has two good years to grow and develop in the SA system.
Another underclassman that has come on strong on the court this season for the Lady Vols is junior Anna Lea Little.
With her size, Little can be a very tough matchup when she is shooting well from the perimeter.
The transfer from Starkville Christian School a couple of years ago has adapted her game well to the private school level. Little can only get better if she continues to follow the teaching of Schmidt.
SA has a senior point guard in Anna Prestridge that remains poised under pressure.
Schmidt often speaks to how valuable Prestridge is to the Lady Vols and she was instrumental in defeating the Lady Mustangs.
Prestridge played the entire 32 minutes against Pillow and ran her usual quality floor game along with contributing 11 points and grabbing seven rebounds. She was the second-leading rebounder behind Richardson.
When Prestridge does the things at point guard to be successful, Starkville Academy can be very difficult team to beat.
The other senior Lady Vols are Brittany Jacks, Julianne Jackson, April Burney and Lauren Atwell. They come off the bench to provide good minutes when one of the starters need a breather.
Even though Starkville Academy has quite a number of seniors, there are other underclassmen in sophomore Nora Kathryn Carroll and junior Tiffany Huddleston who take care of their business whether they come off the bench or start the game.
There's no question that the key to Friday's success for the Lady Vols against the Lady Mustangs was defense.
SA held Pillow to 22 percent shooting (9-of-41) from the field, including no shots made from 3-point range (0-for-6). The Lady Vols had a 39-18 rebounding edge against the Lady Mustangs.
Starkville Academy had some very difficult competition in back-to-back days with Pillow Academy at home and Oak Hill Academy on the road Saturday.
Those types of matchups on consecutive days will be similar to what SA will face during the postseason in about another month.
The Lady Vols will certainly be a battle-tested bunch.

You've got to take your hat off to Fernando Alonso for that win. It might've had a large amount of luck involved in it but it was certainly good to see him back up there.
And Alonso definitely owes teammate Nelson Piquet a beer for setting off the chain of events that got him up on to the top step.
But what of Ferrari? They totally spooned it today, and it was interesting to see that they got rid of the stupid pit light system on the next time around, replacing it with a regular lollypop. That'll no doubt stay.
Massa just gave up after his pitstop palaver, and Kimi had another no points race and is now surely out of the championship running.
Nico drove his Williams superbly for second, and Lewis should be happy with his third spot, although he did seem to make more of being stuck behind Coulthard than he needed too.
Saying that, he's now 7 points ahead of Massa in the championship challenge, and that's surely all important.
I'm quite confused however why Massa got penalised for being let out of his pit box into the path of another car this time around, when he was let off the last time for a very similar incident.
As I've said on here before, the FIA need to clarify their rules and get some consistency into the punishments that they hand out.
Generally though, Singapore to me was a massive success. What do you think?

Design Toscano has many themes for gardens from Victorian to meditation, one of our most popular are the Asian themes such as our Japanese garden statues. A fine example of a piece that can be placed anywhere in an Asian themed garden is the Silk Road Asian Ox Cart Metal Statue. This is a two foot long sculpture that is a replica of the carts used to carry goods for royalty in the Tang Dynasty.
We have some wonderful garden fairy statues if you are looking for a theme of sprites and spirits in your yard. One of artists has done a fantastic series and one of the statues is Fairies of Stratford: Blowing a Kiss Sculpture. This beautiful statue is a foot and a half tall and is hand painted by the artist, Myers Hartley. She is blowing a kiss to your whole garden and maybe some fairy dust too. This is of course a Design Toscano exclusive.
Just like our well detailed garden statues gnomes, we have some fabulous statues of children at play and gardening and just having fun. One of these is Ring Around the Rosie Dancing Little Girls Statue. These well sculpted little girls are holding hands as we all remember doing in childhood and dancing "ring around the rosie".

(PRWEB UK) 4 February 2014
The award-winning developer's landmark site at Chorley, Duxbury Manor, which won a Pride in the Job Quality Award from the National House Building Council, has been enjoying an unprecedented rate of sale – with one property being purchased per week, for the past three months.
This rate of uptake has triggered works to the final phase of the luxury development, which has been acknowledged by many estate agents as the town's most prestigious address, and will result in a further 29 detached family homes coming on stream in the spring.
In January 2014, development is set to begin at Tottington Grange, near the thriving town of Bury. The fourteen new-build detached homes are expected to gross in the region of £4m for Arley.
The company has also recently exchanged contracts on a further two sites at Wigan Road, Clayton-le-Woods, where planning permission for 14 five-bedroom detached homes, all with double garages, has been granted; and Woodfield Road, Altrincham, where consent for four detached and four semi-detached homes has been secured.
Jim Bowers, sales director at Arley, said: "The company, which restructured its Board earlier this year, has funding facilities available for its developments at Tottington Grange and Duxbury Manor phase four, to commence in January 2014. Confidence has returned to the housing market and with our exceptionally designed and professionally built properties in popular locations, we're seeing increased demand across all of our developments. This increased confidence, coupled with the uptake in the Government's Help To Buy scheme, has meant that properties are being snapped up at a considerable rate and across a wide price range."

Daily and when using the spaEssential: Check
and adjust the chlorine or bromine in it to control bacteria,
and that you leave access to the internal equipment. Always look at the hot tub rental current prices and price your hot tub
experience significantly.
i am not sure why there is such a big support on thrashing of these men. Were they some thugs, thieves , scamstars or did they enter brothel (considering prostitution being illigeal in India while we have the largest pool of ladies who are Commericial Sex Workers).
The mess in itself is pathetic and the people who supported this are pathetic too.
If you support such JUSTICE then why not barge into the Indian Parliament today and start beating up all the people who are sitting there and have sucked out all your money into their pockets and bank accounts.
These people were ordinary people who travel everyday to either earn their daily wages or go to study. There are numerous ways available to tackle this problem of so called Men getting into Ladies Compartment. They could have been detained, fined heavily etc but was violence the best tool available for our protectors or Law Enforcement agencies to deal with this problem.
Hats of to INDIAN LAW ENFORCEMENT agencies who are big BULLS who in the name of Law enforcement can go to any depths and beat up normal and ordinary Indian Citizens. But suddenly that BIG BULL becomes castrated while dealing with some corrupt person who has power.
This only displays how Democratic!!!!! Republic!!!! of India!!! functions to the whole WORLD (please note that these videos are displayed to the whole world) and if you think that shameing these ordinary Indian Men infront of the whole world is best tool available to you being a women/MEN. Then i must say that you have shamed yourself too. Coz you are an Indian as well....and you have shamed your COUNTRY....
This act is SHAMEFULL.The people who (POLICE officers and others who did this) are sick and the people who supports such acts are sick as well.
If this is the punishment which everyone has been vouching and thinking about ....then there wont be any law...and Anarchy with MOB JUSTICE will rule
INDIA very soon...
Well Done all of You...Keep your BEST WORK UP!!!
