To the South
In the second week that Johanna was here, we took Rick's car and went south. We made a quick stop in Monterey to stay at his friend Seth for one night. Love the uncomplicated way they arrange a place to sleep. Seth is a really nice guy from the east coast, and he never "slowed down" to the Californian way of speaking—or maybe even living? We had great seafood right at the bay, and he introduced me to his collection of bluegrass music. Will eventually be handy when I maybe go to the big bluegrass More

"A Great time in a
Wonderful Place" SJC
Four Men from the City Arrested After 7 Month Heroin Investigation with Top Officers Working Deals Undercover.
Four alleged offenders, all known members of the Four Corner Hustlers were arrested by members of the West Suburban Directed Gang Enforcement Task Force known as WEDGE. The Suburban police task group works to reduce some of the increase in crime that became apparent with residents of Chicago public housing moving to many of the suburbs.
WEDGE is comprised of police from North Riverside, River Forest, Forest Park, Berwyn, Brookfield, Stickney, Elmwood Park, River Grove, Cicero, Elmwood Park, and Oak Park.
During the 7 month long investigation a River Forest officer was deep undercover doing much of the buying for the recorded transactions of heroin purchasing. Police remote cameras also assisted the work. The FBI worked with the team and is now taking the action to the Federal court system.
Across Austin Blvd in Chicago you will find the highest amount of heroin sales in the country. Oak Park has already had two heroin deaths this year and more could be in the future given our location to the supply chain. The Mexican gangs control the drugs that are getting to the Black and Latino gangs in the city.
The Conservative Vice Lords street gang, along with the Four Corner Hustlers have been dealing in the drugs for many years and Julian Dailey from the Conservative Vice Lords was also arrested in a different action by WEDGE and the officers of the Forest Park police department.
There are some areas in Oak Park where dozens of crack cocaine bags have been found across the street from Brooks middle school. More on that in another story.......
West Suburban Directed Gang Enforcement Task Force known as WEDGE information page
Four suspects arrested in heroin dealing investigation
Raynell Davis and Colran D. Bates
Demarcus Moore and Darrell Lipscomb
A seven-month undercover investigation into heroin dealing on Chicago's west side near Oak Park led to the arrest late last week of four Chicago men. Arrested were:
Oak Park Police investigators had identified three of the suspects operating in the area. Undercover officers assigned to the West Suburban Enhanced Directed Gang Enforcement (WEDGE) task force then conducted a series of controlled heroin purchases from the three suspects, while the Investigative Unit of the Cook County State's Attorney assisted in collecting evidence for prosecution. The officers made more than 15 purchases ranging from two grams to 22 grams of heroin.
The investigation culminated Thursday with the arrest of the three targets – Davis, Moore and Bates. During the arrests, Lipscomb, who had not been identified previously, was found in possession of more than 100 separate foil packets containing nearly 74 grams of heroin.
All four suspects were charged with Calculated Criminal Drug Conspiracy, a Class X felony that carries a penalty of six to 30 years in prison.

While I can certainly understand your frustrations, I find the use of EMR in hospitals to be less time consuming and feel EMR allows me to monitor the patient more efficiently. Yes, each system has its nuances and a learning curve.
Similar to you, I provide services at several different hospitals and each uses a different EMR. EMR allows me to read another physician's consult without having to decipher his/her handwriting. It allows me to view present, past and pending orders on one screen without having to flip through an overstuffed chart with handwritten orders I find illegible (sometimes I can't even read my own writing). It allows nursing to clearly read and place an order without having to call me to figure out what I wrote.
It allows me to see trends regarding lab tests, vitals, etc., on one screen. It allows me to visualize an MRI, X-ray, CT scan, etc., without having to run down to radiology. It allows me to log in from our office, home or mobile device to check results, view studies, etc., rather than having to call and ask a nurse to look through the chart or call the radiology file room for a result. It allows me to put in an order without me having to run to the hospital to sign my order and there are dozens of other advantages in my opinion.
Our practice does a fair amount of hospital consults and in patient surgery. The ability to access information remotely has been an incredible resource for our docs and, in my opinion, ultimately enhances patient care. We can check for updated information on our computers without having to run back to the hospital(s) or call several times for results.
EMR is here to stay. While I initially disliked and feared its implementation, I've come to rely on it and appreciate its capabilities. I personally believe it allows for a greater continuity of care, and I do not miss flipping back and forth through charts to find information (and we've all had charts open up with the chart contents falling all over the floor).
I agree that it would be ideal if there was some consistency among vendors and systems had similar features. It would be nice if these systems were more intuitive and more user-friendly. There's a point with each system when you "break the code" and figure out shortcuts, and how to navigate the system. That is when the advantages become more evident.
Be patient and ask for tech help, and I'm confident that eventually you'll wonder how you ever used paper charts in the hospital.
Now if I could just remember all my passwords ...

Comments about Vater Sizzle Timpani Mallets:
Durability, performance, reliability. These sticks are the best. If you are hitting hard with the mallet end they actually hold up, unlike many other sticks of this nature. I used one pair for about six months of heavy gigging (for one particular song a night) and they were awesome! These are a must have if you are looking for this type of specialty stick.

Report: Japan's Big Three Busy with Redesigns, Hybrid/EV Tech
i think there should be a sporty version of every car!
Smitty = uneducated and arguement contained no facts, merely biased opinion disguised as such. Go crawl in a hole.
to directly answer the question; no i would not park one in my garage (i have my eyes set on the focus st). But, if the question is "do i think the cruze ss will be a great car" than the answer is "yes, but it will still place third in a compairison test, behind the gti and the st, with the 240 hp natural asperated civic close on its heals."
I wonder why wouldn't WLO-GM's suits haven't already greenlighted a Cruze SS with the 255-260hp 2.0L T-GDI I4 they ALREADY have. They just have to tune it correctly and MAKE IT RELIABLE and you'd have a WORLD CLASS POCKET ROCKET (maybe that'd force [italic]Auto Union[/italic] to release a [italic]Super GTI[/italic] with the 265hp version of the T-2.0L they (TT-S) already have in their parts bin...).
VRsicks---your arguments are immature and uninformed. Do some research to prove what you're saying. Don't just be biased, be correct.And yes Cruze SS would be an excellent idea. If GM contines with the ecotec line HP could be anywhere from 200-260+
Back to what the article actually asked...haha,I am not sure why GM would have Holden do it, but Chevrolet needs the Cruze SS, not only for marketing reasons against its competitors, but also reaching numbers behond the normal Cruze customers. Yes, GM, you NEED to build this, and it would be a failure not to bring it here as the HATCHBACK. Look how well the Mazda 3 hatch sells.
VRSICKS. Everytime I see your posts I think 2nd grade. Someone who has too much time sitting around throwing your two cents so you can be heard. I'll always be a GM fan, and if people forgot the 1980's, ford took a bailout from the government and I don't think people talked like this. Give GM a break, there #1 and will be for a long time, so get used to it. As far as there quality, look at them and drive them and you will understand why there kicking A$$. They will get total control back from the government. :grin:
Sorry to offend the foreign car fanboys but you had better hope Chevy doesn't follow through with this or your fart can equipped Hondas and VW's will be well acquainted with the taillights of it just like a Cobalt SS turbocharged,which will go taillight city on all but the most highly modded VW's and Hondas !!
Yes - especially if it's a hatchback.
@GMfan454I called it a piece of crap because the Cobalt was a piece of crap. Ask 10 people and 8 will say that it is a piece of crap. Crap would say "Wow, that Cobalt sure was a piece of crap."My brother currently owns a Cobalt that has had problem after problem after problem and despises it. Even GM knew it was a piece of crap, that's why the Cruze is called the Cruze and not the Cobalt.I'm sorry if I offended your sensitive GM feelings. At least be glad they corrected the abortion that was the Cobalt with the Cruze.
VRsicks: It is difficult to have a educated conversation with someone like you, because you are blatantly annoying and arrogant. At least try, for the sake of this websites integrity, to make valid arguments. Until then.... kthxbye
I would consider and SS hatchback. I don't think there would be enough room to satisfy me otherwise.
smitty, just because it had a dated interior (you girls cry about an interior on a $20K car that performs like it does for some reason) does not mean it was a total piece of crap. It sure kicked the *** out of anything ford made in that range. Maybe thats why you hate it.
@gmfan_sinceday1Well, you're one of the reasons. Did you really have to ask.@96S-S10SSI'm not against anything American made. I really like a lot of Ford's cars/trucks lately. It's the golden bowtie that I just can't digest. I can't stand their build quality, design, the creaking/ticking/moaning/scratching noises that I hear, and the fact that GM is in league with the government.So how 'bout you just KYMS (keep yo mowth shut).
Really Holden is a waste of money??? The G8 was a beautiful piece of machinery and that came from Holden but onto this post I'm more interested in the SS Hatchback that would a bada** car and I really hope GM reconsiders putting the hatchback in the American lineup.
Vrsicks You are against anything American made.Just STFU.now for the articleWhy not drop the 2.0T Ecotec from the Cobalt SS into it?That would be AWESOME!!!
I don't understand why GM would be against a Cruze SS model. Ford has already announced an Focus ST and, despite being a total piece of crap, the Cobalt SS seemed to sell quite well.I'm sure there's a business case in there somewhere.
^^^ any reason behind that?
I'm against a sporty Cruze...AND it's prospective buyers.
Not that I'm against a sporty Cruze...
Nice to see Holden is doing the tuning. They have been known for some great performance cars. Based off the article expect around 200 hp.
^^ Agreed.
Holden is a waste of money for GM.
Hell yes!! Other than a base 1.8 liter manual transmission model it's the only Cruze I'd consider !!

Tony Chu is a cop with a secret. A weird secret. Tony Chu is Cibopathic, which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. It also means he's a hell of a detective, as long as he doesn't mind nibbling on the corpse of a murder victim to figure out whodunit, and why. It's a dirty job – and Tony has to eat terrible things in the name of justice. And if that wasn't bad enough, the government has figured out Tony Chu`s secret. They have plans for him… whether he likes it or not.
John Layman is the creator, writer and letterer of CHEW, the New York Times best-selling, Harvey Award and multi-Eisner Award winning cannibal cop comedy series from Image Comics.

Kike or Kik Alicha or Split Pea stew. This is another simple stew is very similar to Indian split pea daal. I used 2 types of split peas for the one in the pictures. You can use just the yellow or just the green as well. Also, ignore the mustard seeds in the pictured stew, which were accidentally added:) It is the fault of muscle memory.. my hand automatically grabs either mustard seeds or cumin seeds to add to the hot oil when making daal.
I served this Split pea stew with some cumin scented Wild rice blend. I have some Teff flour now, so Injera(ethiopian flat bread) trials are predicted in the near future.
Ethiopian Kik Alicha is a very mild, no spice lentil preparation. For a spicier Wat version, add some Berbere spice blend like this Missir Wat/Wot – Red lentil stew.
Ethiopian food is becoming my next favorite food right after Indian food. I need to pick up some books with information about how the flavors came about and the basics of ethiopian food. Leave me suggestions in the comments. I am planning to get myself Kittee's Papa Tofu loves Ethiopian soon.
Its the day after my yoga therapy and my eyes can barely read. so a short post today..
In some awesome news EU will not allow any animal tested cosmetics and toiletries!
And my Roasted Butternut, Balsamic Caramelized onion, Sriracha Mayo sandwich got shared by MFA, Woodstock Farm Sanctuary and VegNews!

Ethiopian Split Pea stew – Kik Alicha
Allergy Information: Free of Dairy, egg, corn, soy, yeast, nut, gluten
Serves 2
1/4 cup dry split yellow peas, soak overnight
1/4 cup dry split green peas, soak overnight
1 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons oil
1/2 red onion, chopped
4-5 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons ginger, minced
1/3 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
black pepper, to taste
Add a 1/2 teaspoon berbere spice blend for a spicier Wat version
or Add a chopped Serrano pepper.
Soak the split peas overnight or at least 2 hours in warm water, drain and rinse.
In a deep pan, add oil, add onions, ginger and garlic and cook stirring occasionally, until translucent.(add chopped Serrano or Jalapeno if using)
Add the turmeric and mix well.
Add rinsed split peas, salt, pepper and water. Mix, cover and bring to a boil on medium heat.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered for 35-45 minutes or until peas have softened to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust salt and spice if needed.
Or use a Pressure cooker: Pressure cook for 1 whistle on high and then simmer for 15-20 minutes.
The pictures are of the pressure cooked stew. Mash the peas if desired. Add some lemon juice if desired and serve. Tastes best with a sour flat bread like Injera.
Wild Rice blend: Rinse the rice and add to pan with 1.5 times the water, salt and cumin powder to taste. Cook partially covered until almost done. Fluff, take off heat, cover and let sit for another 5 minutes before serving.
I love infographics..:) and this is from Vegucated. Here is also a nice article by the team to help transition to a plant based diet.

Simon J Coles
- Primary position:
- Associate Professor and Director, UK National Crystallography Service
Simon Coles obtained his BSc and PhD at the University of Wales, Cardiff in 1992 and 1997 respectively. Simon's PhD was in structural systematics and molecular modelling, which he undertook whilst working part-time for the National Crystallography Service, both under the supervision of Professor Mike Hursthouse. On completion of his thesis he moved to a PDRA appointment with the Royal Institution, but based at the CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory, where he worked with a collaborative team to build the highly successful Small Molecule Single Crystal beamline, 9.8. In 1998 Simon again joined forces with Mike Hursthouse when he moved to Southampton to establish a new laboratory and manage the National Crystallography Service. Simon transferred to Chemistry staff in July 2009 and took over the role of Director of the National Crystallography Service and became an Associate Professor in 2012.
In addition to directing the National Crystallography Service and maintaining a cutting edge facility for all UK academia, Simon has diverse research interests in and is truly multidisciplinary. Structural Chemistry research interests include the study of solid-state reactions and transformations, structural systematics, the determination of charge density distributions and their application to reactivity and solid state behaviour, discovering and investigating structure-property relationships and crystal growth. Further structural science research is built on collaborations with the areas of macromolecular crystallography (Biology), SHG laser spectroscopy (Physics), CT Imaging (Engineering) and 3D Inkjet Printing (Engineering). In addition over the last decade Simon has been awarded a number of grants in the areas of Information Management, eResearch and eLearning.
Simon is an author on over 600 papers covering the areas structural chemistry, support for chemical synthesis and chemical information. He has served on a number British Crystallography Association committee positions including Chair of the Young Crystallographer Group and Chair of the Chemical Crystallography Group - he is currently the Education and Outreach Coordinator serving on Council. He serves on the Editorial Boards of Crystallography Reviews, Chemistry Central (Section Editor), Supramolecular Chemistry and International Journal of Digital Curation journals as well as participating on a number of peer-review committees for research councils (JISC, EPSRC and the Australian Research Council) and Central Facilities (Diamond Light Source, ISIS and ALS). Simon contributes to the steering groups of the Digital Economy and Computationally Intensive Imaging USRGs, Diamond Light Source, the EU eInfrastructure Policy Forum and a number of JISC projects and programmes.
Simon is the Director of an MSc programme in Instrumental Analytical Chemistry and is also the academic champion for Sustainability in Chemistry and is driving forward a number of projects to reduce our carbon footprint.Other University of Southampton sites

Conference or Workshop Item
Research Interests
The work we do is highly collaborative and multidisciplinary and we have wide-ranging interests that go way beyond conventional crystallographic research, however our work can broadly be split into three overlapping themes:
1) National Crystallography Service (www.ncs.ac.uk)
This national centre provides data collection and crystal structure analysis for the UK chemistry community. This involves a dedicated expert team employing cutting edge techniques and the use of very high-powered laboratory diffractometers or the UK synchrotron, Diamond.
2) Structural Chemistry
We have an interest in determining the mechanisms of solid-state reactions and transformations and use a variety of diffraction and physical characterisation methods for this. Other work focuses on discovering and investigating structure-property relationships, the determination of charge densities and their properties and 'value-added' quantum mechanical calculations to compute properties from crystal structures. We also collaborate with other disciplines in a number of areas such as macromolecular crystallography (Biology), crystal growth (biology) and CT imaging (Engineering).
3) eResearch
Our work in this area is based around data management and the structuring of chemical data and information at the point of its creation. Data in this form are then used in informatics, authoring, discussion and publication-based activities. We are also involved in policy formation, infrastructure design and implementation. This work also impacts on eLearning and we are involved projects concerning the digital education environment. This work is funded through a variety of sources (mainly JISC and Microsoft) and has led us to work with computer scientists, information specialists, librarians, engineers and archeologists.
Structural Chemistry Research
• Structures under change – the 'holistic' characterisation of thermally and chemically initiated phase transitions by diffraction, spectroscopic and calorimetric techniques.
• Structural polymorphism, systematics and similarity – the structural and physical property characterisation of large families of related compounds (typically ranging from 10-100) in order to gain insight into the phenomenon of structural similarity.
• Solid-state energy calculations – much of our experimental structural work is complemented and enhanced by a whole range of energy calculations on families, polymorphs and intermediates in crystal structures.
• Charge density determination – systematic studies of homologous series of compounds to probe the electronic effect on inter- and intra- molecular bond formation and strength.
• Crystallisation - systematic, high-throughput screening of crystallisation space and in-situ monitoring of crystal growth processes.
• Macromolecular crystallography – the overlap between small and macromolecular crystallography: how both techniques can complement each other experimentally and in structure refinement, particularly with relevance to 'small macromolecules'.
• In-situ process monitoring – the application of diffraction, spectroscopic, imaging and laser techniques to monitoring processes in real time or without disturbance in-situ.
• Chemical Informatics – a knowledge-driven approach to the statistical analysis of the structure and properties of compound libraries.
• Data management and publication - the application of semantic web approaches to enhancing the process of experimental characterisation, management of the arising data and also to making that data available in a richly self-describing form so that it may be automatically understood and processed.
• Electronic Laboratory Notebooks – developing novel systems for recording, collaborating and disseminating the results and conditions of the entire experimental process.
• eLearning – using novel technologies to enhance and enable teaching and learning at any level from school children through undergraduates to researchers.
• Outreach - development of novel approaches to introduce and explain chemical and structural science to the general public.

Bobadilla Train Station
The security guard was reluctant to allow me to sleep there, until he saw me heading for a patch of grass at the front of the station. -Barry
Recent Review
by Lucia
"I had to stay there for a couple of days waiting for a money trasfer to allow me to buy the ticket to come back home. I omit the list of the place i've been sleeping between Algesiras and Bobadilla... in Bobadilla there's not a city, only desert. And the station, of course. It's an important junction to reach Barcelona. The security guard sayd me i could stay on the bench all night long but i couldn't close my eyes. Impossible, after midnight. So he sayd me to find an accomodation in the office along the track. I was just gone in when he came with not so good intentions...in few seconds i was again on my bench. And he didn't try anymore to approoach to myself. So i could close my eyes until 6 o'clock."

Let me start by saying I like Vimeo. The video host has great features (like the thumbnail chooser), a personal attitude and slick interface. For our purposes, we like Vimeo because they focus on controlling privacy - you can share a video with just one person. We use it to share rough cuts of videos with clients. Vimeo does a lot of things well. That is why I'm both perplexed and disappointed by an experience lately. We tested the privacy system to see what happens when we share video... Continue Reading
Robin Hamman just got new glasses and at the same time, had high-res digital scans of his retinas... Today, about a month later, I've finally received an email with those images attached and they're really beautiful. Not just because they contain a view of my own eyes that I've never been able to see before or, indeed, because my eyes are in any way particularly lovely or different from the next person's. But from a "isn't biology wonderful" and "hey, check this out" perspective, I'd love the... Continue Reading

Veteran U.S. diplomat Robert A. Wood, Chargé d'Affaires of the U.S. Mission to the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) in Vienna, Austria, issued a statement to the IAEA Board of Governors on November 29, asking IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano to note in his next quarterly report whether Tehran has taken "any substantive steps" to address the international agency's warnings. Amano's next report is expected in late February.
"If by March Iran has not begun substantive cooperation with the IAEA, the United States will work with other board members to pursue appropriate board action, and would urge the board to consider reporting this lack of progress to the U.N. Security Council," Wood said, according to a copy of his statement quoted by Reuters news.
Though Wood did not specify what "appropriate board action" would entail, it is presumed that it might include increased sanctions against Iran.
"Iran cannot be allowed to indefinitely ignore its obligations.... Iran must act now, in substance," Wood stated, asserting that Iran "has provocatively snubbed the international community by expanding its enrichment capacity in defiance of multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions."
A report from VOA News said that IAEA chief Amano met with the agency's governing board Thursday in Vienna, during which he accused Iran of failing to provide the agency with any credible assurances that its nuclear enrichment activities are peaceful. Amano raised concerns about what he described as "extensive activities" at Iran's Parchin military facility located southeast of Tehran, where the IAEA believes Iran may be conducting nuclear weapons development experiments. IAEA inspectors have been denied access to the facility.

When your local pharmacy runs low on drugs or supplies, it probably calls Cardinal Health. The company is a top distributor of pharmaceuticals and other medical supplies and equipment in the US. Its pharmaceutical division provides supply chain services including branded and generic prescription and OTC drug distribution. It also franchises Medicine Shoppe retail pharmacies. Its medical division parcels out medical, laboratory, and surgical supplies and provides logistics, consulting, and data management. Customers include retail pharmacies, hospitals, nursing homes, doctor's offices, and other health care businesses. International markets for Cardinal Health include China.
Pharmaceutical distribution accounts for almost 90% of Cardinal Health's sales, primarily to pharmacy customers across the US. The Cardinal Health Pharmaceutical division operates about 20 distribution warehouses and 140 nuclear pharmacy labs (for the preparation and distribution of medical imaging agents) throughout the US and in Puerto Rico, as well as about a dozen distribution centers in China. The division also includes the Cardinal Health Pharmacy Solutions business, the Medicine Shoppe retail pharmacy subsidiary, and a Specialty Solutions unit that distributes specialty pharmaceuticals, such as cancer injectables, plasma products, and intensive care therapies that require special handling.
The smaller Cardinal Health Medical distribution division offers branded and private-label supplies, including scientific laboratory equipment and general hospital and physician practice supplies, primarily from some 50 warehouses in the US, as well as from a handful of facilities in Canada. Its private-label offerings, which include surgical gowns, exam gloves, and fluid collection equipment, are also distributed directly and through third parties in Europe, South America, and the Asia/Pacific region. Cardinal Health Medical also assembles medical procedure kits and provides consulting and logistics services.
Geographic Reach
In addition to the core US operations, which account for about 95% of sales, Cardinal Health has expanded its presence to include pharmaceutical distribution operations in China. The medical division also has manufacturing, assembly, and distribution locations in locations including Canada, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, and Thailand.
Sales and Marketing
Pharmacies account for the largest chunk of Cardinal's pharmaceutical distribution customer revenues: CVS Healthis the company's largest customer, accounting for 28% of fiscal 2014 (ended June) revenue. Group purchasing organizations are also key to the company's business, with Novation and Premier together accounting for 17% of fiscal 2014 revenue. Other customers include hospitals, surgery centers, clinics, physician practices, and clinical laboratories. Together, the pharmaceutical and medical distribution segments serve more than 100,000 locations daily.
Though the bulk of the company's operations consist of direct promotion, sales, and distribution of drugs and medical supplies, Cardinal Health does use some third-party distributors for the manufactured products from its medical division.
Financial Performance
Cardinal Health's sales fell 10% in fiscal 2014 (ended June) versus the prior year, to $91.1 billion. (It was the second consecutive year of declining sales for the company.) Cardinal Health blamed the decline in sales, which are primarily impacted by its pharmaceutical distribution contracts, largely to the expiration of its contract with Walgreen in August 2013. (The prior year's negative annual sales comparison was due to the expiration of a distribution contract with Express Scripts.) Brand-to-generic pharmaceutical conversions have also had a negative impact on revenue growth in recent years as pressure to contain prescription drug costs increases and a significant number of patents have expired for major brand name drugs. On the plus side, acquisitions by the company's medical segment resulted in a 9% gain in sales, which partially offset the decline from contract income. Also, net income rebounded by 249% over the prior year to $1.17 billion in fiscal 2014 on a decline in impairments and loss on disposal of assets.
Cardinal has grown through acquisitions of companies and products within all of its operating segments. Indeed, since 1980 it has acquired more than 50 companies, including a number of purchases to bolster its pharma and medical distribution operations in specific regions. In 2015 the company agreed to buy cardiology and endovascular device maker Cordis from Johnson & Johnson in a $1.94 billion transaction. It hopes to benefit from Cordis' products in the face of an aging population and a growing demand for less invasive medical treatments.
In addition to acquisitions, the company aims to grow through new customer contracts, facility expansion efforts, and collaborations with other medical and drug firms. Growth efforts aim to expand operations in core pharma and medical distribution fields, as well as niche service areas such as the provision of data management and procurement services for specialty health providers.
In July 2014, Cardinal Health and CVS Health launched a 50:50 10-year joint venture, called Red Oak Sourcing (ROS), to source and negotiate generic supply contracts for both companies. ROS is the largest generic sourcing entity in the US and should enhance each company's leadership position in generic-drug distribution and sales, enabling them to negotiate better generic drug prices.
Cardinal Health also aims to keep revenues and profits on the rise by keeping its operations lean and nimble, an important factor in thin-margin distribution industries. To that end, Cardinal Health has conducted some cost-cutting programs such as asset divestitures in recent years. In 2012 the company began overhauling the medical segment's information technology systems to help improve efficiencies within the division. In 2013 it launched another restructuring program to streamline medical distribution operations, including the consolidation of procedure kit facilities and the sale of its sterilization unit in El Paso, Texas.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In 2015 Cardinal Health acquired Nashville-based Metro Medical Supply, a supplier of specialty pharmaceuticals. That deal expanded its oncology, rheumatology, and nephrology businesses. Later that year it bought Harvard Drug Group for $1.12 billion; that transaction increased its generic drugs distribution. And it yet another deal, it plans to buy Johnson & Johnson's Cordis heart-product business (which includes such products as stents and catheters) for $1.94 billion.
The company paid $320 million, all cash, in May 2014 for medical closure manufacturer AccessClosure. The move is expected to strengthen Cardinal's medical distribution segment. Also in March 2014, Cardinal Health purchased fast-growing Sonexus Health to expand its specialty biopharmaceuticals business.
In 2013 Cardinal Health paid some $2.1 billion to acquire AssuraMed. The purchase greatly expanded the company's home medical supply operations by broadening its product offerings and distribution network in the home health market.
In addition, in 2012 Cardinal Health purchased Canadian nursing home supply company Futuremed Healthcare for some $125 million. The company plans to continue with international purchases to reduce its dependence on large US pharmacy customers.

Jones, who made a real impression on the 2009 Lions tour of South Africa, will line up alongside regional team-mates Huw Bennett and Paul James for the Cardiff showdown.
The trio will be packing down together for the first time in the Six Nations after injury ruled out two of Jones' fellow Lions.
Scarlets hooker Matthew Rees and Blues prop Gethin Jenkins had formed an all-Welsh front row when the Lions faced the Springboks last summer but both Rees and Jenkins will play no part in the Round 3 encounter against the table-topping French.
Jones knows better than most the quality of both Jenkins and Rees but he insists his two Ospreys team-mates will be more than able replacements.
"We've played together for the region for the last seven years and that will give us confidence," said Jones, who won two Test caps for Ian McGeechan's Lions.
"We know exactly what to expect from the French forwards but we will try and get in their faces. We will back ourselves.
"I believe we have one of the most under-rated players in Europe in Paul and Friday night will be a chance for him to show how good he is."

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a method of sampling interstitial fluid from subcutaneous sewn wicks.
Colloid Osmotic Pressure
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Measurements of Colloid Osmotic Pressure in Interstitial Fluid and Plasma, a Methodological Study
- Colloid osmotic pressure [ Time Frame: 60 and 90 minuttes after implanting wicks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Biospecimen Retention: Samples Without DNA

|Study Start Date:
|December 2009
|Study Completion Date:
|September 2010
|Primary Completion Date:
|September 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Fluid loss from circulating plasma volume is one of the contributors of oedema formation. Measurement of colloid osmotic pressure (COP) both in plasma and in interstitial fluid can be utilised in planing of fluid therapy in patients with oedema. Different methods of sampling interstitial fluid are well validated in animal models, but not in human. Sampling of interstitial fluid by subcutaneous sewn wicks is a well-known method and can be painful. Local anaesthetics can reduce pain. By comparing interstitial fluid taken from areas with or without application of local anaesthetics, a possible influence in COP values can be detected.

« Know the Enemy: New MPAA Chief Dan Glickman |

Posted by Wendy Seltzer
Even as the FCC and consumer electronic companies try desperately to push Americans toward HDTV, one Washington Post reviewer joins the crowd throwing up hands at the complexity of it all. Parts don't interoperate well, even once you've upgraded for high-res, and worst of all, that's on purpose:
[T]he link from cable box to D-VHS remains troublesome -- by design. Thanks to an industry agreement, a high-def program can be copied from Comcast box to D-VHS only once. If you stop halfway and try again from the start, a "copy flag" prevents it.
In other words, consumer electronics manufacturers have so far capitulated to the demands of greedy copyright owners that they've built extra failure modes into their devices. It's not enough that the picture might pixellate due to weak signal or bad connections, the industry must punish its best customers (those who have just spent thousands on HD-capable equipment) by breaking perfectly reasonable personal use patterns. Of course, if you're sick of being treated like a thief, you might try an open-source MythTV-based HD-PVR.

i don't even go to trade shows. i design my own shirts.

i own my bandwidth. i pay a lot of money for it. i can use it anyway i want to.
"And now you just gotta have an opinion on rightful owners who want to protect their own property???"
i work at a video editing lab. we NEED to be able to copy stuff. as to copying other stuff, i don't see what the problem with personal use is. i can already rip dvd's if i want to. there is no incentive for me to upgrade to a higher resolution format if it doesn't offer me the same flexibility.
its a good thing i read this piece, since now i wasn't sure i had to be as cautious about this sort of thing on the high-def arena.
also: there have been interoperability issues with hdtv since the start. but they've always been trying to iron them out. this is the first time i've heard of one purposefully done.

I will resist in all methods possible upgrades to HDTV.
As long as there are digital services available i will stick to them, and keep my much cheaper services which still afford me my rights under betamax and treat me like an honest human being.
Please dont forget that a good HDTV package costs upwards of $80 a month. We bought the programming and we should be allowed to do whatever we please with it in our own homes and view it with whatever device we choose.
I'm so sorry if the MPAA is positively phobic of my personal computer. That is their problem, and if they really dont want me to record what i access, then I'll just not buy their feed and wait for independent studios who are fair to their consumers to capture the market the MPAA so hates.

In the case of the perverse new HDTV standards, once they are set in stone they will have to remain that way for at least half a century (at least working from past developments in tv tech).
That is a full 50 years in which hundreds of thousands of professionals can chip away at it with increasingly powerful computers.
It took less than a year for apple's fairplay to be cracked. I admire apple.. their developers are absolutely second to none, but not even they could devise a drm structure that worked.
I, however, grow increasingly annoyed at the headaches i have to go through to make fair use of my products, and therefore refuse to adopt anything new until adequate drm circumvention measures come about.
In the mean time, have fun in your industry, with the stagnation in demand and revenues which will come from increasing consumer backlash, and reluctance to adopt new and extremely encumbered technologies.
P.S. I never used p2p networks in any means which were damaging or infringing to copyright owners or their revenue streams. (Did it ever occur to you that the stuff your companies dont want to sell may be valuable to small cultlike followings which only p2p can connect? ) I think it's time to stop flaming this blog and open your mind.

The irony of this is that the MPAA kick-started the cracking of Apple's Fairplay, when they went after Jon Lech Johansen for being involved in the cracking of the decss code. Just having had to sit in prison cell for one day would have given me enough hatred of the industry and enough adrenaline and drive to try and crack all DRM systems. Although Johansen did not crack Fairplay himself, he cleared a path wide enough for Real's programmers to walk through.
Interesting how what goes around comes around.
(For those who have lived on another planet the past ten years: Jon Johansen was a teenager when he was arrested for being involved in the illegal cracking of the decss lock that is necessary to give mafia-like clubs like the MPAA the right to go after infringers under the DMCA. The only problem? The DMCA is not a Norwegian law, but Johansen is a Norwegian citizen. Norwegian courts cleared Johansen on all counts. It was not illegal what he did--and what he did was for watching legally bought DVDs on his PC.)

Most automobile museums rely on static displays to paint a picture of a particular car's role in history. The Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is no different, but it also uses "Driving Demonstration Days" to provide a bit of living history. On Saturday, April 12, the Simeone's demo days will pay tribute to legendary Italian automaker Ferrari, and guests will have the opportunity to see and hear six racing Ferraris run on the museum's back lot.
In addition to the museum's 1954 Ferrari 375MM and 1958 250 Testa Rossa, attendees will also get to experience a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, on loan to the museum, along with owner-supplied examples of a Ferrari Monza, 250 LM, and 365 GTB/4 Competition. The program begins at noon with a presentation on Enzo Ferrari, his automobiles and the importance of racing to the brand; weather permitting, live demonstrations will follow.

The Ferrari Demo Day also kicks off the museum's 2014 Best of Italy exhibit, which runs from April 12 through April 27 and honors the 100th anniversary of Maserati. Fans of Italian automobiles won't be disappointed, as the exhibit is set to include an Alfa Romeo 8C; an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint; an Alfa Romeo 1900SS Zagato; a De Tomaso Pantera; a Dino 246GT; a Fiat Bianchina; a Fiat X 1/9; a Fiat 500; a Lancia Pininfarina Coupe; a Lamborghini 400GT; a Lamborghini Aventador; a Lamborghini Jarama GTS; a Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole; a Maserati Grand Prix; a Maserati 4200 Spider; and a Maserati Ghibli Spyder.
Other upcoming Demonstration Days events at the Simeone Museum include What was the Mille Miglia, scheduled for April 26; 80 Years of Jaguar, scheduled for May 24; Pantheons of Style, scheduled for June 14; Auto Racing: A Privileged Man's Sport, scheduled for June 28; duPont: Delaware Valley's Most Prestigious Maker of Luxury Cars, scheduled for July 12; World Champions, scheduled for July 26; Racing in Style, scheduled for August 9; Stingray: Why is it Our Favorite Corvette?, scheduled for August 23; The Driving Force, scheduled for September 27; When NASCAR was for Real Stock Cars, scheduled for October 11; How did Brooklands Save So Many Cars?, scheduled for October 25; Corvette Racing Legends with Doug Fehan, scheduled for November 1; and People's Choice, scheduled for November 29.

Unrestored 1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa reportedly sells for $39.8 million

One of two factory prototypes of the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, chassis 0704, saw race action at the hands of legendary drivers such as Phil Hill and Peter Collins, posting wins for Scuderia Ferrari in Buenos Aires and Sebring. More importantly, it remains in unrestored and as-raced condition today, which probably explains why it just reportedly sold for about $39.8 million.
Following the tragedy at Le Mans in 1955 where Pierre Levegh's Mercedes-Benz flew into the crowd, killing Levegh and 83 spectators, the Commissione Sportiva Internationale (CSI) began to investigate ways to make racing safer for participants and fans. An accident at the 1957 Mille Miglia, in which Alfonso de Portago, his navigator and nine spectators were killed, only added to the urgency of the situation. Expecting a reduction in the allowed displacement of sports cars from 4.0 to 3.0 Liters for the 1958 season, Ferrari began construction of a sports racer powered by its 2,953-cc V-12 in 1957. The initial 250 Testa Rossa prototype, chassis 0666, used a 290 MM chassis, while the second prototype, number 0704, was built on a 500 TR chassis instead.
The debut of chassis 0704 came at Le Mans in 1957, where drivers Olivier Gendebien and Maurice Trintignant retired early with a burned piston. On the car's next outing, the Grand Prix of Sweden, Masten Gregory and Wolfgang Seidel would also suffer disappointment, retiring early with a gearbox failure. The car's first completed race came at the end of the 1957 season, when Peter Collins and Phil Hill drove 0704 to a fourth place finish at the Grand Prix of Venezuela. The following season would open with a pair of wins at Buenos Aires and Sebring, with Hill and Collins again behind the wheel.
Chassis 0704 climbs the hill at the 2005 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Chassis 0704 was sold to a series of privateer teams after the 1958 season and then raced through the 1962 season. Unlike many sports racers of the day, chassis 0704 escaped damage in any serious racing accidents, adding to its value by making it one of the most original Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa models remaining. In 1967, the car was donated to The Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan, where it would spend the next three decades in climate-controlled care, further explaining its near-pristine condition. In 1997, The Henry Ford sold chassis 0704, and it eventually wound up in the United Kingdom in the collection of Eric Heerema.
As the sale was private and not at auction, exact details are lacking. Heerema, who allegedly sold the car to high-value dealership Tom Hartley Jr. for an undisclosed price. Though Hartley will admit to selling the 250 Testa Rossa to a new owner, no details of the transaction were reported. Instead, the Daily Mail cited "well-placed sources" who stated that the selling price was "in excess of £24.1 million."
Heerema also sold a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO for $35 million in 2012, the highest amount paid for a car at that time. The other Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa prototype, chassis 0666, sold at auction for $16.39 million the year before, at the time the highest amount paid for a car at public auction. The $39.8 million reportedly paid for chassis 0704 doesn't qualify it for the title of world's most expensive car, which at this point appears to belong to another Ferrari 250 GTO, which reportedly sold last year for $52 million.
The day the $16 million Ferrari got a Ford V-8
This photo of a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa with its original yet broken 12-cylinder engine replaced with a Ford V-8 has resulted in a maelstrom of speculation and recollections that the car is the same Testa Rossa that recently sold for more than $16 million in Monterey. By all accounts, the Ferrari saw plenty of time on the road and race track through not just a few engines, but also a few sets of body panels.
The story and photo spring from Doug Stokes and Scot Sanders, whose late father, Bob Sanders, is sitting behind the wheel of the Testa Rossa on Christmas day in 1964. The car was driven up from Manhattan Beach to Covina, California, after Scot was hired by its latest owner to relieve the race-worn Ferrari V-12 and swap in a fresh Ford V-8. Scot drove it up on Christmas to show his Dad and sister Sharlene. An engine swap like this was a relatively inexpensive way to go road racing.
Before calls of blasphemy and Enzo himself rolling in his grave commence, bear in mind that however beautiful the car was and is, at the time it was considered old and uncompetitive. Add the rarity and expense of parts to repair the V-12, and the Testa Rossa was worth less than it would have cost to repair the broken engine – around $3,500 by Stokes's own estimate. And that was if you could even find Ferrari parts.
These two photos, sent via an e-mail on a Sunday, nonetheless triggered stories of squandered Tandy computer fortunes and twice chassis rebodying, along with recounts by those who drove the car around Willow Springs with its 12-cylinder singing through quadraphonic megaphone exhaust, and rumbled back into the pits of desert gravel sprayed with oil.
The consensus among those who drove and raced the Testa Rossa with its original and replacement engines is that this car is indeed chassis number 0666 – the same car that recently sold for an astronomical amount of money, and a car that not so long ago was driven around on public roads with a Ford V-8 under the long hood. The same Ferrari that once called a garage in Manhattan Beach its home, and the race track its vacation land, has now moved into a different competition.
A special thanks to Doug Stokes for the photos and everything else.
First-ever Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sells for $16.39 million
At what appears to be the highest price paid at public auction for a collector car, the first 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sold for $14.9 million Saturday night at the Gooding auction in Monterey. Gooding officials are still tabulating the final price with premiums, With premiums, that price rose to $16.39 million, a figure that easily surpasses the $12.2 million (with buyer's premium) paid for another 1957 Testa Rossa at RM's 2009 Leggenda e Passione sale in Maranello, the prior high-water mark for Ferraris and collector cars in general.
According to Gooding's description of the Testa Rossa, chassis No. 0666 TR, it is not only the first 250 Testa Rossa built, but was also campaigned by Scuderia Ferrari when new, piloted by a number of racers including Masten Gregory and Phil Hill. Luigi Chinetti then bought it and campaigned it as part of the NART team at the 1958 Le Mans with Dan Gurney and Bruce Kessler at the wheel. It was at Le Mans that Kessler nearly destroyed the car after a collision with a Jaguar D-Type; a subsequent factory rebuild ensued, and though Chinetti then sold the car shortly after, it did return to Le Mans the next year and continued to race through 1964. Though it was separated from its original engine and set afire during the 1960s, it has since been reunited with its original engine, treated to two restorations and taken first in its class (twice) at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
While the $14.9 million is the highest auction price paid, it still does not qualify the Ferrari for the title of world's most expensive car. That goes instead to the 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, sold in a private transaction (also brokered by Gooding) to the Mullin Automotive Museum for between $30 million and $40 million last year.
Back by popular demand: Group 4A
After posting several shots of the vintage Trans-Am and Sports Car event from the 2008 Monterey Historics, the somewhat overwhelming call for more imagery was from enthusiasts of the sports car genre. To be more specific, Group 4A – 1956-'61 over 2,500cc. So, for all you who love the look of Europe's finest racing machines, here's one last look. (Soon to be posted: 1972-1983 Historic IMSA GT cars!).
Chris Cox, of Chapel Hill, California, drove this 1958 Ferrari 412MI to a second place finish
Another Ferrari, this time a 1958 250TR piloted by Reno, Nevada's Lou Sellyei to a 21st place finish – and last car to complete all 13 laps
Dropping through the corkscrew was this 1959 Lister-Chevrolet with Nick Colonna, who came home in fifth place
Dick Jutras of Castaic, California, drove this 1958 Devin Special to a 17th place finish
The elevation drop – tree and all – of the corkscrew is a nice backdrop for 1959 Hagemann-Sutton Special driven to a podium finish of third by Westley, California's Butch Gilbert
Chris Hines (of Phoenix, Arizona), behind the wheel of a 1958 Echidna, leads Bill Janowski in a 1957 Monsterati Special; Chris finished 14th, while Bill ended up finishing in 16th
Wes Abendroth, of Carson City, Nevada, wasn't running as the checkered flag fell, but the 1960 Witton Special he was driving was simply stunning during the 10 laps it ran
I can't help it – I love the Aston Martins, so I simply could not resist grabbing a shot of this 1957 DBR-2 driven by Gregory Whitten (from Medina, Washington) to a 22nd place finish
Finally, I present this 1957 Maserati 300S driven by New York, New York's Anthony Wang to a 18th place finish
Monterey Historics: Snippets from Group 4A
As mentioned earlier, here's some on-track action that never made the cut in the December 2008 issue of Hemmings Motor News (actually, we didn't have enough room). Group 4A – reserved for sports cars from 1956-1961 over 2,500cc – ran their 13-lap even on Saturday. By the time I had climbed the hill and wound my way over to the famed "corkscrew," it was a little difficult to find a shooting location without getting blitzed by spectators whose view I had just accidentally blocked – can't blame them, I would be upset, too. Persistence paid off, though, and in the end I had a prime location to capture some of the action.
1957 Ferrari 625 TRC. Driver: Mike Callaham of Orinda, California. Mike finished 13th.
1958 Scarab Mk3. Driver: John Morton of El Segundo, California. John won the 13-lap main event, leading all but the first lap.
1957 Maserati 450S (Driver: Tom Hollfelder of Covina, California) leads a 1960 Maserati T-61 (Driver: Thomas Mittler of Mishawaka, Indiana). The two drivers finished 10th and 11th respectively.
A 1959 Lister-Jaguar (car #60 driven by Michael Silverman of Scottsdale, Arizona) chases the 1958 Ferrari 250TR driven by David Love of San Rafael, California. Michael would eventually finish 15th, while David took the checkers in 20th.
1958 Lister-Jaguar. Driver: Steven Hilton of Scottsdale, Arizona. Steven finished in 12th.
1954 Jaguar D-Type. Driver: Terry Larson of Mesa, Arizona. Terry finished 19th.

But Monday kids who were helped by St. Jude, gave the home a little decoration.
Raven Durbin and Robert Cunningham painted their names on the floors and wrote inspirational messages for the incoming residents.
"We want to fight," said Robert's mom Kim. "We want to beat this thing. We want to show the world that St. Jude has the capability and the knowledge and the know how to beat this thing."
"I know what you are going through," said Raven Durbin. "It is hard, but you just gotta keep going."
Raven recently came out of remission. She will soon undergo a second bone marrow transplant.

Residents happy as care home in Peaker Park, Market Harborough, improves
Posted: January 29, 2014|
A care home has been praised by its residents after it reached the required standards in an inspection.
Peaker Park, in Market Harborough, is now fully compliant with all of the standards set by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
The announcement was made this week, after the £11 million complex had failed elements of previous inspections since it opened in 2011.
A CQC report in August found improvements were needed in three areas.
They found some dirty lavatory brushes, no soap and towels for staff in rooms and a kitchen which was unhygienic.
They had concerns over the management of medicines and assessment of care provision.
However, the recent snap inspection showed significant progress in all areas, with the home being assessed at the highest possible level.
They found the complex met standards in the areas being inspected – cleanliness and infection control, management of medicines, and assessment and meeting the quality of service provision.
James Wood, managing director of PrimeLife, which runs the home, said: "We pride ourselves on delivering the highest-possible standards.
"The inspectors were clearly impressed with the levels of service offered by Peaker Park and offered positive comments to our staff for the high-quality care they continue to deliver.
"I would like to congratulate our dedicated team of staff."
The inspection team gave the care village which has residents a clean bill of health.
The service offered by the 137-bed home in Trojan Place, Rockingham Road, has also been ranked highly by its residents, relatives and healthcare professionals, with a 97 per cent satisfaction rate recorded in an internal survey.
Resident Olive Chapman said: "I love it here, they really look after me.
"The care is excellent, the staff are so lovely and they always do whatever they can to make you happy."
Two officers from the CQC inspected the £11 million home, which opened in June 2011, in the second week of this month and found it to be fully compliant with all of the standards assessed.
Details of the report can be seen at the CQC website.

Introduction to Programming with Python 3 is intended for use in the introduction to programming course.
Daniel Liang is known for his "fundamentals-first" approach to teaching programming concepts and techniques. "Fundamentals-first" means that students learn fundamental programming concepts like selection statements, loops, and functions, before moving into defining classes. Students learn basic logic and programming concepts before moving into object-oriented programming, and GUI programming.
Another aspect of Introduction to Programming with Python 3 is that in addition to the typical programming examples that feature games and some math, Liang gives an example or two early in the chapter that uses a simple graphic to engage the students. Rather than asking them to average 10 numbers together, they learn the concepts in the context of a fun example that generates something visually interesting.
Using the graphics examples is optional in this textbook. Turtle graphics can be used in Chapters 1-5 to introduce the fundamentals of programming and Tkinter can be used for developing comprehensive graphical user interfaces and for learning object-oriented programming.
