Our obsession with security is 'closing' London
As a new book explores the great houses of the capital, it also raises the question why so many are inaccessible
Related Articles
Published: 09 October 2012
Central London three weekends ago was an eerie place. Little platoons of people wandered the streets, poked into corners and queued outside private houses and offices. They wore strong boots and carried rucksacks and guidebooks. In some cases, particularly in the City, the queues stretched round whole blocks. Nobody seemed to talk.
These silent monitors of the London scene were participating in that bizarre annual ritual, Open House London. It was launched 20 years ago, when just 100 enthusiasts were invited to see inside 20 normal private properties. This year a phenomenal 750 properties were open for free, and more than a quarter of a million visitors turned out. All restricted-access entries were entirely booked out.
This year's venues included the Royal Courts, the Foreign Office, the Bank of England, the Brazilian and Italian embassies, the Gherkin, church crypts, private clubs, schools, shops and private homes. Owners and architects were on hand as guides. The curtain that obscures this most private of cities was briefly drawn back, and the splendours within revealed.
Like Poems on the Underground and free bikes in the park, Open House is a feature of London's inventive, mildly zany personality that raises the experience of living in it marginally above the humdrum. It also focuses attention on something more than the diversity of London's architecture. It reminds us that so many buildings that could be more accessible remain firmly closed.
Such is London's obsession with security, indeed its cult, that, if anything, fewer corners of the city than ever can now be seen at normal times. I used proudly to show visiting Americans the doors of Downing Street, comparing them with the fortified acres round
the White House. The street is now closed off completely. While I can now wander round the White House, I cannot get near the home of Britain's chief executive.
Closed too is the area round Lancaster House and St James's Palace. Part of the parliament estate, the Norman Shaw Buildings were meant to contain an open public space, but the atrium is shut and overlooked by policemen toting machine guns. So too is the south end of Kensington Palace Gardens, and the west side of Grosvenor Square. Office blocks, hotels and clubs will not let you so much as into their foyers to glimpse inside. Even atriums, the architectural fad of the day, are guarded outside their doors. London's semi-public realm is becoming a series of paranoid spaces.
A reminder of this inaccessibility comes with a splendid new book by the Sotheby's art historian, James Stourton. Titled simply Great Houses of London (Frances Lincoln), it describes and gloriously illustrates 41 houses in the central area. The list is a revelation. In a lifetime of privileged access to London buildings, I have never been inside a dozen houses on Stourton's list. Just four are regularly open to the public: Apsley House, Sir John Soane's Museum and Leighton and Linley Sambourne houses in Kensington.
A few others, such as Spencer House, Lambeth Palace and the Mansion House, are open intermittently, and royal palaces are strangely omitted, though Buckingham and Kensington are open. He also ignores the fact that London's most spectacular glories are suburban, such as Kenwood, Charlton, Chiswick, Syon, Ham, Hampton Court and Eltham. The fact remains that the overwhelming majority of London's finest interiors are private. Buildings of a quality that in Paris, Amsterdam or Rome would be timed and ticketed are in London firmly shut.
Thus the spectacular Adam interiors of 20 St James's Square belong to an IT company and of Home House to a private club. Kent's 44 Berkeley Square is a casino and his Wimborne house belongs to the Ritz hotel. The splendours of Downing Street, Marlborough, Lancaster and Dover Houses, and Pugin's magnificent residences for the Speaker and Lord Chancellor at Westminster are known to few. And all these are in the public sector.
Stourton takes comfort from the fact that a new generation of tycoons, Arabian, Russian and Indian, have arrived to restore many of his mansions. But as the experience of houses in Regent's Park and Kensington Palace Gardens shows, the newcomers may restore but few reside. Many seem to be empty bolt holes or investments. At least only one has become tragic. Palmerston's old house, once the In and Out club, lies derelict in Piccadilly, apparently beyond the reach of the authorities to rescue.
The idea of writing the book came to Stourton when walking through Green Park and noticing the parade of grandeur that faced onto it. In the country, houses such as Egremont, Spencer, Bridgwater, Lancaster and, round the corner, St James's Palace and Marlborough House would be celebrated and visited. In London they are "never the subject of romantic adulation". They echo only through the memoirs of Edwardian society hostesses. None is open to the public (except Spencer House by appointment).
These are among the great palaces of Europe. The southern group belongs to the Crown, which means the Government. It holds them close to its chest, along with the private gardens overlooking the Mall. It must be a sadness that, in this most democratic century, the temples of bureaucracy have joined with those of wealth in exclusive occupancy of this loveliest enclave of Europe's greatest city.
At the very least, Open House London should spread its wings. It should not be an annual event but a monthly one, and every "Stourton" house should be invited to participate.

I bought this as a gift, but it looks nice, and seems to hold quite a few things.
One thing I found, you need to be careful if you set it on any finished surface, such as a table top, don't pull or push it, lift it straight up, and set it straight down gently, because it will put deep scratches on anything you set it on if it gets pushed or slides across it.
I had looked at a similar basket for 4 times the price, but this one is better because it has handles. I thought it was described as black, but it is brown which was exactly what I wanted!
Lovely addition to my open shelving TV cabinet to hold DVDs and CDs. Since this is an expensive piece of furntiture, I will be adding felt to the bottom to avoid scratching the surface.
A happy find!
The Black Chicken Wire Basket with lining was just what I needed to store, in my case, potatoes in my pantry instead of on the shelf. The basket is like the little one at the grocery store, but larger. I would recommend this product to friends that's for sure.
This is a LARGE basket with ample size for towels, etc. I purchased mine to use as a Hermit Crab cage! I was going to make one but a roll of similar length of chicken wire cost $20 and then I needed to cut wood etc. This basket has about 1" chicken wire holes which is small enough to keep the crab inside. The edges are smooth and secure. Teddy the Hermit Crab likes it too! He's been climbing on the chicken wire just like we had hoped. Great purchase.
These aren't carried in my region, so I was basing my purchase off measurements and seeing it in a picture in someone's home. The basket is a fantastic size for the price. Quality is pretty good. The liner fabric could be a little thicker, as I can see it being very prone to wear quickly. Mine showed up with a small tear in the fabric already, but it wasn't large enough to warrant a return and wait for its replacement.
These baskets are awesome. Perfect size and look just like the pic. The handles are brown (not black) which was great for me. Love them!
This is not the basket that I was searching for at the time...which was the chalkboard basket which came available after this one came to me. Wouldn't undo this purchase as it is a great carry-all basket! Happy I ordered it!
I purchased this basket to collect eggs because it was large and cheaper than every other website I checked. Who knew baskets were so expensive? It is enormous! Which is fine..but it will be used to collect vegetables instead..seems durable...canvas seems tough and it can be washed. Great price..you can't beat it especially since its humongous.
This basket is much more than I anticipated for $10. It's larger, and most attractive in my country-style home. Way bigger than what I use to gather eggs! ;)
I bought this basket for my bathroom hoping it would fit rolled up towels and it does, perfectly! I rolled up 6 regular size bath towels and stood them up in it and they fit perfectly! And it looks so cute!
I was looking for a basket to keep my husband's cycling stuff in since he keeps throwing it all next to the door when he comes inside. I measured the cardboard box I had been using temporarily for the same purpose and this basket was the perfect size.
A basket this size would cost twice or three times as much anywhere or be inferior quality if the same price. However, this basket is really nice, seems pretty sturdy. So, it's a great price.
Beautiful! I wish I would have ordered more and that the smaller ones were still available. Great buy. Perfect for my kitchen. Definitely my style.
Very nice basket at a great price!
Saw this basket at a friend's house, love it, and decided that for the price, it was well worth it. I ordered two.
Cute wire basket with wooden handles. Looks black in the picture but more like a dark, dusty, brown color. Overall a great product for the price and I would purchase again.
Such an awesome basket for the price. Bought 12 for a built-in we have in our family room. Using them to hold cars, books and toys for our kids. They're strong. Just glued some felt to the bottoms so they don't scratch the wood.
If you like the industrial and rustic look, this bin is great. Bought with the galvanized bins to give an alternate look.
A very light weight basket. Not for magazines. Used for washclothes to dry hands in the bathroom and into the basket until laundry day. Same use for kitchen towels. Baskets are nice for decorative purposes rather using large hamper. One for hand drying, one for kitchen towels. No cross contamination with towels used for other body parts :) Very rustic in styling.
I ordered this product online. The product looked good on the picture but when I got the package, I was disappointed. It looked so bad , every single detail, cloth, steel materials and it felt so rough.
Great baskets at a great price.

Title: Native trees that will thrive in Amarillo, TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I need help in finding native Texas trees that will do well in Amarillo's low water and extreme temps.
The good thing about choosing plants native to the area in which they are being grown is that they are already acclimated to the climatic conditions, temperatures, soils, rainfall, etc. by millions of years of experience and adaptation. Plants native not only to North America but to the area in which those plants are being grown are the only ones that will be recommended by the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. We will go to Recommended Species, click on the Texas High Plains section of the Texas map, and narrow our search by selecting on "trees" under GENERAL APPEARANCE, and then click on "Narrow Your Search." You can use the same procedure to find shrubs or herbs (herbaceous blooming flowers), cacti or grasses and to specify the amount of sun that is available. We will check each tree we select with the USDA Plant Profile on that tree to make sure it will, indeed, do well in the northwest corner of the Texas Panhandle. We found 7 trees which grow in or near Potter County. Follow each plant link to our webpage on that individual plant for more information. At the bottom of that page, there is a Google link to articles on that tree on the Internet.
Native Texas Trees for Amarillo:
Juniperus virginiana (eastern redcedar)
Populus deltoides ssp. monilifera (plains cottonwood)
Prosopis glandulosa (honey mesquite)
Prunus virginiana (chokecherry)
Salix amygdaloides (peachleaf willow) - pictures from Google
Sapindus saponaria var. drummondii (western soapberry)

I agree with the previous attorney in that it depends on why you fell off. Generally, the homeowners insurance covers personal injury of guests.

I realize that the WA exemption is 2M and the Fed is 5.43. Because 100% of my estate is going to my wife, will my estate realize estate tax upon my death. ( I heard I need to get it out of my name, but if 100% goes to my wife, does it matter?)
The insurance policy pays out to the named beneficiary outside of probate. The life insurance proceeds are not taxable to the named beneficiary including your wife. DO NOT name your estate, as the beneficiary of the life insurance policy or leave the beneficiary blank or else the proceeds of the policy will be attachable by creditors and susceptible to taxes.

Generally speaking, inheritance is separate property and as long as it was kept separate, and not comingled with community funds, it remains separate property in a divorce. However, depending on the facts or circumstances, it may very well affect a court's decision with respect to a division of other assets (like retirement) and debts of the marriage. A court is supposed to consider all of the assets, separate and community, in making an equitable division of assets and debts. Therefore, in theory, a person may in fact have a very large inheritance, that has remained separate, and that fact could cause a court to not award any of the community retirement to that person. Perhaps if you are in the process of a divorce, ask yourself how much is your share of the retirement and is it really worth it to argue over it. Also, don't forget that if it is a pension, and your soon to be X continues to work, your share of the eventual monthly payment is only going to be a fraction of what that monthly payment is. Good luck.See question
I received in the mail the other day, a copy of Withdrawal of Joinder from the Respondent. It was not certified mail (did not have to sign for it). Does this invalidate the Withdrawal of Joinder if this method was not approved by the court?
No. The withdrawal of joinder simply means that party changed their mind with respect to agreeing to what was asked for in the petition.See question

Either party can file for bankruptcy during a marriage. It's a bit nicer when it is coordinated but she can move forward without you if she wishes. If she qualifies, her liability to community debts may be discharged in the bk court. This would leave only you liable for community debts. Obviously, you can file for bk also, and many divorcing parties do it together to save money and keep things a bit more organized. The up side of bk is that you get rid of all or most of your debts and that makes a division of debts and assets in the dissolution a lot easier to accomplish. Your case is mixing many issues and you are well advised to get an experienced family law attorney pronto.
It isnt very nice but she can change the locks if she wants to. Don't do anything rash like go over there and break a door or window to get in or you will only get in trouble with the law and put yourself in a bad light with the court.

With respect to the contract just keep records of your payments and when you have paid the principal off you can stop making payments and argue about it at that time. Meanwhile, write the company a letter telling them your position. Also, every time you make a payment send them an accounting showing the outstanding principal due. Breach of contract argument won't get you out of the deal if that is what you are thinking. Its just math.
Also, it sounds like a lot of debt. You really need to talk to a bankruptcy attorney if you haven't already done so. You should think about having the debt discharged.See question

No end in sight for Boho blaze
Firefighters are still working to control a major grassfire that broke out near Violet Town on Sunday.DARREN LINTON January 29, 2013 4:10am
More than 200 firefighters were still battling to keep a massive fire near Violet Town within containment lines last night ahead of stronger winds after sunset.
Country Fire Authority crews were backed by seven water bombing aircraft including the sky crane, seven bulldozers and staff from Parks Victoria, the Department of Sustainability and Environment and a private fire fighting team from the nearby Hancock's plantation.
Gallery: See more photos from the fire front.
The fire, which started at 12.45
Despite benign conditions for most of the day and strong containment lines around the main flanks of the fire, which were put in place overnight, there were ongoing trouble spots throughout the afternoon.
Fire crews hampered by the often inaccessible terrain were relying on helicopters to suppress hot spots or for dozers to carve a useable track.
Even though the fire was contained, it wasn't yet deemed under control and by 4
CFA Deputy Incident Controller Paul Blythman told the community meeting the fire will be around for most of this week.
''We envisage having it under control by Thursday,'' he said, although he added it would be up to two weeks before the fire ground is completely blacked out.
''It's really up to the hard slog of dozers and excavators.''
But in the rolling hills the weather can be fickle and late in the afternoon the wind swung to a northerly, creating a running flank of fire that was soon hit from the air.
Nightfall posed the biggest challenge because the aircraft don't fly at night and it was deemed too dangerous for dozers to work the steep ridges after dark.
CFA crews hoped to keep winning the battle through the darkness until an expected easing of wind strengths around dawn.
Mr Blythman told residents the wind was the biggest issue.
''The wind is the element that is going to knock us, while it stays under 35

The oral medication delivery device provides patient access to medications prescribed to be available on an as-needed basis, but with a minimum time intervals between doses. The required time interval between drug accessibility is programmed into the device when the medication tray carrying the multiple doses is loaded into the device. The device allows access to a single dose of the medication after each minimum time interval has elapsed. When the drug dose is removed from the device, the medication tray locks until the next minimum time interval has elapsed.
1. A medication dispenser for permitting administration of a medication dose to a patient no less frequently than at a predetermined minimum dosing interval, said medication dispenser comprising:
a medication tray carrying a plurality of medication doses;
a housing enclosing said medication tray, wherein said housing includes a passage providing access to a medication dose; and
a controller for permitting access to a medication dose through the passage only after the minimum dosing interval has elapsed.

a medication tray carrying a plurality of medication doses;
a controlled access passage to the plurality of medication doses; and
a controller for controlling said controlled access passage to permit access to a medication dose only after the minimum dosing interval has elapsed.
[0001] This patent application claims the benefit of the provisional patent application No. 60/323,521 filed on Sep. 19, 2001.
[0002] The present invention relates generally to an oral medication dispenser, and more particularly to a time controlled oral medication dispenser.
[0003] Fifty percent of postoperative patients report inadequate pain relief. Fifty percent of all cancer patients and ninety percent of advanced cancer patients experience pain. Pain is now defined as "the fifth vital sign" as part of the mandate by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) to develop guidelines for pain management.
[0004] Adequate pain control requires the appropriate medication for the pain level and type reported. In a hospital setting, pain medication can be obtained only by a physician's order. Pain medications such as narcotics and nonsteroidals (and anxiety medications such as tranquilizers) are frequently ordered on an as-needed basis (referred to as prn orders). This approach requires the patient to initiate a request for each prn drug dose. The nurse then verifies that the appropriate time interval has passed between doses, according to the physician's order. If the required time interval has elapsed, the nurse transports the medication to the patient's bedside and administers the medication to the patient. In some dosing regimens the patient is given a time release pain medication at the same time(s) each day with as-needed (prn) medications for breakthrough pain. Again the patient must request the medication for each breakthrough pain episode. A common reported patient frustration is the need to issue a request for each and every dose of prn medication. Thus a busy nurse must locate the medication and transport it to the patient in response to each request. This must also be accomplished in a timely fashion as patients in pain must be administered to as soon as possible.
[0005] The as-needed approach to dosing provides the minimum amount of medication to adequately control symptoms, without the risk of abuse, overdosing and unnecessary side effects. Disadvantageously, in a hospital or institutional setting each medication that is dispensed on a prn basis requires nursing staff time and extra documentation by nursing and pharmacy staff, since the drugs can be administered only after the lapse of the predetermined time interval between doses. For example, a drug prescribed as needed every six hours may be given no more than four times in 24 hours. Such a drug may be administered from zero to four times in any given 24 hour period, depending upon patient dosage requests. If six hours have passed since the last administration of the drug, the medication is provided to the patient in response to the request. If six hours have not lapsed, the patient must wait the minimum time interval of six hours prior to receiving the next drug dose. In a home setting, the patient must remain aware of the restricted dosing schedule to safely self-administer these medications.
[0006] An automated bedside dispensing cabinet, requiring the nurse to enter the cabinet at times to dispense medications, is known. As with all prn medications this device requires the nurse visit the patient's room. The medication is removed from the cabinet for dispensing. Although such a device reduces medication errors compared to the conventional approach, it expends valuable nursing time and expense.
[0007] It is also known that oral medications may be provided through the use of a sealed wrist pouch. The pouch is worn by the patient and filled with two medication doses. The pouch is refilled by a nurse at the patient's request. The patient reports the time of each self-administered dose and maintains a pain control diary. As in the other prior art devices, nursing staff time is required for refills and nursing staff availability may disrupt timely refilling of the pouch.
[0008] Drug delivery devices are known that remind the patient to take a medication at preset time intervals. These devices provide the reminder through a variety of signaling indicators, such as audible alarms, and promote compliance to a scheduled dosing regimen, but do not control nor prevent patient access to the medications at intervals shorter than prescribed.
[0009] Known PCA (patient controlled analgesia) intravenous pumps allow patients to self-medicate with pain medications. Using a PCA pump, under a physician's order, a patient receives a single dose of intravenous medication by activating a bedside button. The actuation starts a pump that delivers a measured dose of the intravenous drug (a narcotic, for example) at allowable time intervals. If the button is activated during a time interval in which an allowable dose has already been administered, the pump is "locked out" and unable to deliver the dose until the appropriate time interval has passed. This prevents the patient from taking more than a maximum allowable dose of medication during a measured time interval. The PCA device records the drug volume delivered over time. A nurse can query the device to chart the volume of drug delivered over a given time interval and the number of doses administered.
[0010] Two other dosing devices are available using the same principal as the intravenous PCA. These include pumps that deliver narcotic medications subcutaneously and epidural catheters that deliver pain medications near the spinal canal. Cancer patients experiencing both acute and chronic pain use such intravenous PCA pumps.
[0011] A randomized study of pain management in a post-operative setting using patient controlled analgesia (that is, the PCA pump) versus conventional pain therapy (CPT) (i.e., a request to the nurse for each administered dose), has been reported in the medical literature. Patient satisfaction for pain management in the PCA group was significantly better than that reported in the CPT group. Note, the only difference between the two study groups was the ability of the PCA group to easily and promptly self-control the medication dosing.
[0012] Multiple factors prevent the timely dosing of pain and other as needed medications to the patient bedside according to conventional pain therapy techniques. A national survey of pharmacy practice in acute care settings in 1999 indicated that 75% of pharmacies still practice centralized pharmacy distribution systems. In some situations, these centralized pharmacies extend the time required to deliver medications to each patient area. A future trend will be automated medication dispensing stations in each patient area. Although this is a trend for the future, it is not as yet reality except in large, sophisticated, primarily academic hospitals. Currently there is a shortage of pharmacists and the existing staffs are over-burdened, creating further delays in drug delivery to the patient bedside.
[0013] In about 98% of the cases, nurses directly administer medications to patients. A time and motion study has reported that each prn oral medication delivered by a nurse to a hospital patient requires 18.42 minutes, which includes the unlocking of the narcotics cabinet to sign out the medication, transporting it to the patient's bedside, and documenting (charting) the time the dose is given. Like the pharmacy staff, nursing staffs are short-handed, while the number of complex hospitalized patients is growing. These patients have increasingly more complex diagnoses with more medication requirements.
[0014] Improved patient pain control leads to better patient outcomes in the hospital setting. This has been well documented in the surgical literature in the postoperative setting, with fewer postoperative complications, earlier rehabilitation, and shorter hospital stays in patients with better pain management. Better pain management is also highly cost effective since earlier discharges and few complications save dollars and staff time.
[0015] The medication on demand device of the present invention offers controlled self-medication by the patient and thus promotes patient autonomy by allowing access to the medications on an as-needed basis. However, a second dose can be delivered only after a required minimum time has elapsed from a first dose. The device includes a timing mechanism that permits patient access to the next dose only after a specified dosing interval as prescribed by a physician's order. Once the dosing interval has elapsed, access to the next medication dose is provided using a unique keypad-operated entry code entered by the patient.
[0016] When used in a facility setting, this device promotes patient autonomy and a more efficient drug delivery process, without the delay associated with nursing delivery of the drug and the attendant nursing staff record-keeping. Thus the amount of time consumed by nursing and pharmacy staff to deliver and document each drug dose is reduced. However, the nursing staff is able to chart the time at which doses were administered from time data recorded on the device. Since the medications are loaded into the device of the present invention in a cassette carrying multiple doses, the pharmacy can deliver multiple doses as one item, thus also reducing the drug handling and inventory requirements of the pharmacy.
[0017] The device of the present invention can be used for any application of oral pain management in a hospital, nursing home, hospice or assisted living facility. In addition to patients suffering chronic pain, many postoperative and trauma patients, as well as patients in rehabilitative facilities, require as-needed oral pain medication and thus can benefit from use of the present device. In a home setting where dosing intervals are patient-monitored, use of the medication on demand device of the present invention avoids overdosing and relieves the patient of the need to monitor the time between drug doses, since the device permits access only after the ordered minimum time has elapsed. Although reference is made to the delivery of pain medication using the device of the present invention, the device can also deliver other drugs, such as tranquilizers and anti-nausea medications, or any other drugs that are administered on a prn basis.
[0018] The medication dispensing device can interface, through a suitable network, with an automated drug dispensing, inventory, and billing system. This application allows the device to function as a "mini satellite" at the patient's bedside, as one element of a larger automated pharmacy system located in each patient area.
[0019] The foregoing and other features of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the different figures. The figures are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention.
[0020]FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a medication on demand device constructed according to the teachings of the present invention.
[0021]FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the control components of the medication on demand device of FIG. 1.
[0022]FIG. 3 is another exploded view of a medication on demand device constructed according to the teachings of the present invention.
[0023]FIGS. 4 and 5 are top and bottom views, respectively, of the medication on demand device of FIGS. 1 and 2.
[0024]FIG. 6 is a top view of another embodiment of the medication on demand device.
[0025] Before describing in detail the particular medication dispenser in accordance with the present invention, it should be observed that the present invention resides primarily in a novel combination of hardware and software elements related to a medication dispenser. Accordingly, the elements have been represented by conventional elements in the drawings, showing only those specific details that are pertinent to the present invention, so as not to obscure the disclosure with structural details that will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art having the benefit of the description herein.
[0026] A medication on demand device 10 constructed according to the teachings of the present invention is illustrated in the exploded view of FIG. 1, comprising an upper assembly 12 for mating with a lower assembly 14 and capturing a medication tray 16 there between. The medication tray 16 is received by an upper surface enclosure 17 of the lower assembly 14. In one embodiment a motor (not shown in FIG. 1) is located within the upper surface enclosure 17. A gear 18 attached to the motor shaft protrudes from the vertical surface 19 of the upper surface enclosure 17 for drivingly mating with a circumferential gear track 21 disposed on an inner surface 22 of the medication tray 16. Thus rotation of the gear in response to the application of electricity to the motor causes rotation of the medication tray 16.
[0027] The upper assembly 12 includes a passage 18 for receiving a door (not shown in FIG. 1) providing access to one of a plurality of medication compartments 20 of the medication tray 16. Once the patient has opened and closed the door to remove the medication, a timing sequence is initiated and during that sequence the medication tray 16 is locked in place. After the interval has elapsed, the medication tray 16 is rotated, through action of the motor and associated gearing, through an arc segment to align the passage 18 with the next one of the plurality of medication compartments 20. As described further below, the medication tray 16 is signalled to rotate via entry of a patient code on a keypad of the device 10. The patient can then remove the next dosage for self-administration.
[0028] In the embodiment of FIG. 1 each one of the plurality of equally-sized medication compartments 20 carries a medication dose for administration to the patient. Preferably, the upper assembly 12 is translucent or transparent and the lower assembly 14 is opaque to provide a color contrast, making the medication easily visible within the plurality of medication compartments 20. In another embodiment a color-coded medication tray serves as an indicator of the drug type carried there within. In the pharmacy, the medication tray 16 can be loaded with medications, labeled to identify the patient and the minimum dosing interval, and provided to the nurse attending the patient. While being transported, the medication tray 16 can be covered with a disposable cover.
[0029] A controller 30 (see FIG. 2) and its associated components control rotation of the medication tray 16 and allow patient access to the medications. In one embodiment the controller 30 is a microchip-based controller programmed to perform the various functions described herein. When the medication tray 16 is loaded into the device 10, the nursing or pharmacy staff enters the physician ordered dosing interval via an input device 34, comprising in one embodiment one or more manually operable switches. The controller 30 is responsive to the input device 34 for receiving and storing the dosing interval. The nursing staff also enters an authorization code, via the input device 34, that is stored in the controller 30, for later use to limit medication access to the patient for whom the medications are intended.
[0030] Although the description herein generally refers to a nursing staff as the party exercising control over the operation of the device 10, this function can be performed by any third party ultimately controlling the patient's medication dosing, such as an in-home care giver, medical technician, pharmacy staff member, physician, etc.
[0031] The controller 30 is further bidirectionally responsive to a timer 36 for monitoring the time interval between permitted doses, and to a door sensor 38 (see FIG. 1 for the physical location thereof) for determining the door position. From the door position information, the controller 30 determines the times when the door is opened and closed by the patient to receive the medication for self-administration. After the patient has sequenced the door through an open and close cycle to remove the medication dose, the controller 30 activates the timer 36 to begin a counting sequence representing the dosing interval. When the timer 36 times out, the dosing interval has elapsed and the patient is permitted to administer the next dose. In response thereto, the controller 30 illuminates an indicator 40 (see also FIG. 1) indicating that the dosing interval has elapsed. In one embodiment the indicator 40 comprises a light emitting diode. The embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a second indicator 41, not required for proper operation of the device 10, that is illuminated during the dosing interval, serving as an indication that the patient is not permitted to administer the next medication dose.
[0032] Returning to FIG. 1, note that the upper surface enclosure 17 further carries a keypad 42 comprising a plurality of user-operable keys for entering an authorization code. After the indicator 40 is illuminated, the patient uses the keypad 42 to enter a predetermined code that is supplied as an input to the controller 30. In one embodiment, the code comprises four digits and is followed by entry of an "enter" command on the keypad 42. If the entered code matches the stored authorized code, previously entered by the nursing staff as described above, in response thereto the controller 30 energizes a motor 44 to cause rotation of the medication tray 16, as described above, such that the next medication compartment 20 is aligned with the passage 18. The patient now has access to the next medication dose. In one embodiment the motor 44 comprises a stepping motor that when energized controllably rotates only through a predetermined number of turns such that the next medication tray 20 and the passage 18 are aligned.
[0033] The dosing timing cycle begins again when the door sensor 38 senses the opening and closing of the door, provides representative signals to the controller 30, and the controller 30 activates the timer 36.
[0034] If the patient's pain has subsided and he thus does not require a medication dose at the prescribed minimum interval, i.e., when the indicator 40 is illuminated, the patient can elect not to enter the prescribed authorization code. The device 10 remains in a ready condition such that whenever the code is entered the medication tray 16 is rotated and the next dose is accessible. Only an open and closing cycle of the door restarts the timing cycle.
[0035] Although the patient authorization process described above comprises the entry of numeric or alphabetic characters via the keypad 42, other identification techniques for determining if the patient is authorized to receive the medication can be employed, including fingerprint and voice print identification. Also a bar code reader can be incorporated into the medication on demand device 10 for reading a bar code assigned to the patient and printed on the patient's wristband. If the stored bar code in the reader matches the scanned bar code and the minimum dosing interval has elapsed, the medication tray 16 is rotated under control of the controller 30, as described above, to provide patient access to the next medication dose.
[0036] The door open and close times determined as described above, are stored within the controller 30 and displayable on a clock 48 (disposed on the bottom surface of the lower assembly 14) in response to command queries entered into the input device 34. Nursing staff can thus query the controller 30 to display the dose administration times, which can then be manually entered in the patient's chart. In another embodiment where patient records are stored in a computing mechanism and associated storage media, the controller 30 is connected via a wired or wireless network to the computing mechanism for automatically downloading these dose administration times and inputting them to the patient's record. Alternatively, the clock 48 is operable as a real time clock in response to commands entered into the input device 34 by nursing staff members.
[0037] Although the timer 36 is described herein as a separate component of the controlling mechanism of the device 10, those skilled in the art recognize that the timing function can be incorporated within the controller 30. Likewise, storage of the dosing interval, authorization code, etc., is described with reference to on-board storage in an internal memory within the controller 30. In another embodiment the device 10 includes external memory responsive to the controller 30 for storing program code and such data.
[0038]FIG. 2 further includes a key switch 50 for setting the operational mode for the device 10. In one embodiment the key switch 50 comprises a three-position key switch. A mating key is required to set the position of the key switch 50. Typically, this key would be accessible only to the nursing staff. In a first position the upper and lower assemblies 12 and 14 are separable for loading a new medication tray 16. Typically, the device 10 would be loaded with new medications doses every 24 hour period. Other time periods may apply depending on the dosing interval and the number of medication compartments 20. In a second position the device 10 is locked and ready for patient use. In a third position the dosing interval can be entered through the input device 34 and the controller 30 can be queried as to the times when the door 65 was opened and closed.
[0039]FIG. 2 further includes a network interface 52 providing a wired or wireless connection to a remote computing device. Various information collected by the controller 30, such as patient's dosing times and the minimum dosing interval, is supplied to the remote computing device via the network interface 52.
[0040] A more detailed exploded view of the medication on demand device 10 is illustrated in FIG. 3, wherein the upper assembly 12 comprises a housing 60, for receiving a cover 62. A first portion 63 of the passage 18 is formed within the housing 60 and a second portion 64 thereof is formed within the cover 62. A door 65 provides access to the passage 18.
[0041] The lower assembly 14 further comprises a housing 70 carrying a circuit board 72 on which the controller 30 (not shown in FIG. 3) and its associated components are mounted. The motor 44, powered by batteries 76, is mounted within a housing 80. The key switch 50 passes through a notch 82 in the circuit board 72 and a notch 84 in the housing 80. The key switch 50 is electrically connected to the controller 30.
[0042]FIG. 4 is a top view of the medication on demand device 10 illustrating the previously discussed components.
[0043]FIG. 5 is a bottom view of the medication on demand device 10 illustrating several of the previously described components of the device 10. A guide wire 100 for securing the medication on demand device 10 to a patient's bed, bedside table or tray passes through a loop hole 102. The input device 34 and the clock 48 are also shown in the bottom view of FIG. 5.
[0044] The bottom surface of the device 10 further includes a low-battery indicator 108 and a recess 110 for receiving, for example, patient identification information, the medication type and dosage, and the minimum interval between doses. Typically, this information is recorded on adhesive-backed material received within the recess 110. The device 10 includes a stacking ring 112 for mating with a receiving recess in the upper assembly 12 of a second device 10, thus allowing several devices 10 to be transported and stored in an efficient and stable configuration.
[0045] In another embodiment of the present invention, the door 65 is lockable and controllable by operation of the controller 30, such that a door lock 120 in FIG. 6 is released only after the minimum dosing interval has elapsed. In this embodiment, rotation of the medication tray 16 by operation of the motor 44 under control of the controller 30 can occur at any time during the dosing interval, as the patient cannot gain access to the medication until the door 65 is unlocked.
[0046] While the invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalent elements may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the present invention. The scope of the present invention further includes any combination of the elements from the various embodiments set forth herein. In addition, modifications may be made to adapt the teachings of the present invention to a particular application without departing from its essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.

Former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham reportedly is remaining with the team in a new role.
Cunningham, who had been the defensive coordinator the past five seasons, will be a senior assistant with the team focused on personnel according to a report in the Detroit Free Press.
The 67-year-old has had a long NFL career, including being the head coach in Kansas City from 2001 to 2003.
He has been in the NFL since 1985 and has worked for six franchises. This also gives the Lions three former defensive coordinators on staff to assist the Lions first-time NFL defensive coordinator Teryl Austin.
Besides Cunningham, linebackers coach Bill Sheridan and defensive backs coach Alan Williams have coordinator experience.

Ty Draszt Receives Governor's Award
Ty Draszt, food systems & society student, received the 2015 Governor's Award for Outstanding Volunteer Service for his contributions to food security in the State of Washington.
Art faculty Laura Hughes is one of four artists invited to create a site-specific installation for Disjecta's current exhibition, The Lathe of Heaven, open now through December 30, 2012.
Excerpt from Disjecta.org:
The Lathe of Heaven is a group exhibition featuring new work by four local artists in conversation with Ursula K. Le Guin's 1971 science fiction novel of the same name. The show explores the physical and spiritual geography of Portland through site specific installations by artists Damien Gilley, Daniel Glendening, Laura Hughes and Jordan Tull.
Le Guin's The Lathe of Heaven focuses on the actions of George Orr, a man who has dreams that change reality for everyone on the planet. Through the guidance and manipulation of a government appointed psychologist, Orr's dreams are used to try and shape the world into a utopia—an effort that continuously leads to unintended negative consequences. Throughout the novel, the landmarks of Portland remain the singular constants in a rapidly shifting reality.
Inspired by Le Guin's text, Disjecta's curator-in-residence Josephine Zarkovich has invited four artists to produce work that resonates with the novel's themes of overlapping visions, architectural interventions and flawed utopian ideals. The resulting exhibition explores Portland's metaphorical and literal landscapes, its geography and unique identity through the work of artists who call the city home.
"Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass." — George Orr, The Lathe of Heaven
Laura Hughes is an installation artist based in Portland, Oregon. She creates site-specific projects that investigate how light, form and space surround and shape one another in our perceptions. Hughes is a finalist for the 2013 Contemporary Northwest Art Awards; a recipient of a 2012 Fellowship from the Oregon Arts Commission; and was recently included in the 10th Northwest Biennial at the Tacoma Art Museum. She is currently a professor at the Pacific Northwest College of Art and Marylhurst University.
Ty Draszt, food systems & society student, received the 2015 Governor's Award for Outstanding Volunteer Service for his contributions to food security in the State of Washington.
Greg Crosby, human sciences and art therapy counseling faculty, led workshops in integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for staff working with homeless clients at Portland's Central City Concern in summer 2015.

Aggie Orgasm: A&M a Top 10 Team, UT Barely in Top 25
We kid the Aggies a lot, but we guess every once in a while they deserve a big day.
Such as today, when the USA Today Coaches Poll came out and found them to have a far, far better football team than those orange-loving dudes in Austin.
A&M is ranked 9th in the poll, UT barely scrapes into the Top 25 at 24. The University of Houston got a bit of love, coming in 37th overall and a listing in the semi-dreaded "Others Receiving Votes" list. (TCU is 15th.)
Now, there's every reason to think the Aggies will blow their good fortune and settle into their usual comfortable mediocrity. Of the Top 10, only Florida State had as many losses last year (four), and we're not convinced FSU is back to greatness, either.
What's great about the UT ranking is that, as with every damn preseason poll, the Longhorns get overranked by at least five or six spots simply on reputation alone.
"Just look at all the five-star recruits they have!" the voters say, and put UT down in a spot from which they steadily fall as the season wears on, unless Vince Young is quarterbacking.
Who will be ranked higher when the season is over -- UT or UH?
The Longhorns can get to six losses without too much of a stretch. UH, unless it completely collapses, would have a hard time hitting that figure.
So gear up, Longhorns -- you might end the season outpolled by three other Texas teams.

India getting aircraft to track cyclones
New Delhi: India is acquiring a weather reconnaissance aircraft in order to ensure better forecasting of cyclones, National Disaster Management Authority vice chairman Shashidhar Reddy said here Tuesday.
"India is taking steps to acquire a Hercules C-130J along with an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). With this capability, all countries of the Indian Ocean Region would benefit," said Reddy during a meeting with delegation headed by Razakanaivo Mamy Nirina, head of the disaster prevention and emergency management unit of Madagascar here.
Reddy said the NDMA has decided to address urban flooding as a separate disaster, delinking it from floods which affect a large tracts of rural areas.
He also said the NDMA is implementing the National Cyclone Risk Mitigation Project in 13 cyclone-prone coastal Indian states/union territories.
