ReviewsShimano R540 SPD-SL Road Pedals - White 10 10Ideal for first time users of clipless pedals As with all Shimano products these pedals and cleats function well and are easy to get used to. 03 September 2014Fantastic pedals Tried and trusted road pedals that look stylish in white and are such good value. Speedy delivery to store. 31 August 2014R450's A very attractive pedal and matches the bike, that's my first reason to buy these.... But installing them and using them has proved they're extremely good, comfortable and easy to transfer power to pedal... Definitely a good purchase... 31 August 2014Great first road pedal. Bought these pedals as my first set of road pedals, and I cannot complain about anything. Great price and easy to fit/use. I haven't had any difficult in un-clipping when stopping/slowing down. Yes it does take a bit of practice but it isn't exactly rocket science. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. 06 August 2014really easy to fit quality pedals Excellent pedals. Great addition to my brand new bike. Looks fantastic and easy to clip in and out of. 20 February 2014Shimano R540 SPD-SL Road Pedals - White Good solid product that does what it says on the tin. Staff in the Cambridge store were very helpful and assisted with any questions I had. Well done ! 20 January 2014Value Very good easy to set up and look good great price aswell cery comfy to 19 January 2014Good Choice for Beginners I was a little worried when I first bought them that I'd never get used to them, but a couple of goes round the block and I was fine. They're especially easy to clip and unclip from, even for a beginner like me. Only issue was with tightening the springs, be careful not to adjust the wrong way as you can damage them if you're not careful. Quality is excellent, good solid pedal with smooth bearings, the weighted base also means that they stay the right way up when you release your cleats from them. Very impressed, ideal for the beginner! 15 January 2014

Indictments at Columbia Medicare Fraud Probe
Bryant-Friedland, Bruce, The Florida Times Union
Three Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp. executives, including one
from Jacksonville, were indicted by a federal grand jury on
charges of defrauding Medicare out of $1.8 million.
Among those indicted was Michael T. Neeb, 35, who oversees the
finances of the chain's 14-hospital NorthFlorida division.
The charges are the first to be made in a massive federal
investigation partly into how Columbia hospitals have been
reimbursed by federal programs such as Medicare, the health
insurance program for the elderly. Earlier this month, federal
agents raided 35 Columbia facilities armed with search warrants
for records.
The 14-page indictment also charged Jay A. Jarrell, 42, the
division chief executive for Columbia's Southwest Florida
division in Fort Myers, and Robert W. Whiteside, 47, now an
executive at Columbia's headhquarters in Nashville, Tenn.
Neeb, Jarrell and Whiteside conspired and defrauded Medicare
and the U.S. military's health insurance program at Fawcett
Memorial Hospital in Charlotte County, according to the
All three men worked together at Columbia's Southwest Florida
division in Fort Myers in the early 1990s. Neeb had been Fawcett
Memorial's chief financial officer.
A grand jury sitting in Fort Myers indicted the executives on
five separate counts on June 25. The charges remained sealed
until Charles R. Wilson, the U.S. attorney for the Middle
District of Florida, disclosed them yesterday.
"This indictment . . . represents the first phase of the
government's investigation of that organization," Wilson said in
a statement.
Wilson's office declined to comment on why the government
waited more than a month to unveil its charges.
The indictment charges three men falsely billed Medicare and
CHAMPUS, the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the
Uniformed Services for capital costs to which Columbia's Fawcett
Memorial Hospital was not entitled.
Both Medicare, the government health insurance program for
senior citizens, and the military program pay hospitals based on
a complicated system that distinguishes between expenses for
administration and those for capital costs, such as money
borrowed to erect a new hospital wing.
The initial problem dates back to 1988 when an unnamed
co-conspirator filed an erroneous bill with Medicare, according
to the indictment.
Fawcett Hospital was owned by Basic American Medical Inc., but
was purchased by Columbia in 1992.
Later, Neeb, Jarrell and Whiteside learned of the erroneous
billing, but year after year repeatedly charged the federal
government for what they certified were capital expenses,
according to the indictment.
Only 39 percent of these expenses qualified for reimbursement
under government rules, the indictment states.
"I can assure you that we take these allegations very seriously
and will cooperate fully with the government," said Thomas F.
Frist Jr., Columbia's chief executive in a statement, released
by the giant hospital chain's headquarters in Nashville.
Frist took the reins of power after last week's resignation of
company founder Richard Scott. He has promised to deal with any
wrongdoing and to reform Columbia's aggressive business culture.
All three of the indicted appeared before a federal magistrate
for a bond hearing in their hometowns yesterday, said an
official in the U. …

The City of Marquette released the agreement regarding road usage by Lundin Mining's Eagle Mine traffic on Thursday morning.
The trucking corridor, described in the published agreement, will take mine traffic on Marquette County Road 550 from the northern city border to Sugarloaf Avenue, then to Wright Street.
Trucks have been given approved usage of the road 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. The route will receive priority attention by the city for maintenance and improvements along with snow, sand and salt if needed during winter months.
As part of the agreement, Eagle Mine will pay a road maintenance fee of $500,000 per year. The payment will be made to the City of Marquette by December 31 each year.
Eagle Mine will also pay in to a safety improvement program as part of the agreement. A Safety Improvement Fee of $200,000 per year will go to creating a safer pedestrian and vehicle environment along the route.
The agreement between the mine and city is expected to start on September 1, 2014. The maintenance and safety fees will be paid for eight years from the beginning of the agreement. If Eagle Mine were to begin using an alternative route other than outlined, the agreement would be terminated by the city.

Tour staff were friendly and helpful. It was a easy and nice drive down and we were lucky that Mt Fuji showed herself yes she's a she! for a short while as we approached. We could only get up to the 1st station so the tour guide did an extra stop at another site for us to get some great photos. Lovely lunch and then another drive to Lake Ashi for a short cruise 15 mins to the Ropeway and then up Mt Komagatake. On our day it was a whiteout so no views but it was fun battling the snow and winds to do the short walk up to the shrine. The bullet train was a perfect end to a great day. Highly recommend this tour!

Komiko was a good tour guide. She told stories about Japan culture. I wish the time spent on Hakone Komagatake Ropeway had been longer.
Doing what: Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
Very well organised from pickup at Tokyo station to termination at Odawara station.It had snowed on the previous day which meant the road to the 5th station on mount Fuji was closed to the bus but today the sky was so clear with the sun shining which was ideal for photos of Mt Fuji from the bus and viewing areas.I bought my own lunch at the midday stop which wasn't expensive and very good. The Lake Ashi cruise and Mt Komagatake cable car provide splendid opportunities for photos due to the clear sky and sunshine.My trip terminated at Odawara station as I had a shinkansen pass so returned to Tokyo on the Hikari bullet train.I would recommend this tour and company to everyone.

Our tour guide, Take, was one of the best guides I've had the experience of sightseeing with. All throughout the bus ride to Fuji, Take gave some very good insider tips and important information about the place. He also showed us some mad cat's cradle skills of Mt. Fuji, Tokyo Tower, etc. He also sang a rendition of the Mt. Fuji song which was delightful! He showed us the best photo spots during all our stops and gave us ample time to shop and explore the places. We also got the most breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji from the Komagatake Ropeway (plus points for snow on the trail). Going back to Tokyo, we got to ride the bullet train, which was also such an experience. This tour was definitely worth it! Thank you, Take, for being the best guide ever! And thank you to the tour operator in Japan.
Doing what: Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
very good and insightful.
Our english speaking Japanese guide Amy was very knowledgeable and took care of our needs well. she even taught us the 'Mt Fuji' song along our coach ride to the 5th station. As it was cloudy with occasional rain, we could not see the peak of Mt Fuji fully. The stop at 5th station was a little short to soak in the awesome view and shopping at the souvenir store.
The cruise along Lake Aishi and gondola ride to Mt Komagatake were picturesque. However, due to the clouds, we could get to view Mt Fuji from Mt Komagatake including the shrine at Komagatake.
The bullet train ride on the Shinkansen from Odawa to Tokyo was an experience. Amy was extremely helpful to get the pax to available seats as the tickets issued to us were without reserve seats.
Overall experience was great including lunch at Hotel Regina.
Gd value for $ too.:)
Doing what: Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
Among the 3 tours I booked with viator, this is by far the best that I have experienced. I guess we were blessed that during that day, although it wasn't really sunny or having blue skies, still we had the pleasure of seeing Mt. Fuji and at the same time my kids were able to indulge in a bit of fun with the snow…..Also, I'd like to complement our tour guide Emiko san who I believed really showed the true character of a tour guide who loves her work and who cares for her team. She was warm, funny and very accommodating to us and I have nothing bad to really say about her. The lake Ashi boat ride was also memorable. Reminded me of Lake Taho, so peaceful and so cold…. but loved every moment of it….a little downside was that we were not able to ride on the aerial cableway at Mt. Komagatake. The Japanese lunch was just ok. I was hoping that there will be shrimp and fish tempura. Overall, I will recommend this trip to anyone.
Doing what: Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
It was simply beautiful. Traveling to and from the peak of Mt. Komagatake was like visiting two worlds. The clear blue sky, verdant peaks and crystal water give way to a hazy ethereal land of mist and wind; a stark contrast that makes the trip really outstanding.
Doing what: 2-Day Mt Fuji, Hakone and Bullet Train Tour from Tokyo
Lovely tour but only managed to see Mt. Fuji briefly due to weather conditions. The 5th station had really interesting shops and a wonderful atmosphere. Lake Ashi and Hakone National Park were beautiful and we enjoyed the cableway ride on Mt. Komagatake although there was dense fog at the top! We also enjoyed the shinkansen ride back to Tokyo.
Doing what: Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
you get more what you paid for for this tour. We were very lucky to see Mt. Fuji without fogs and clouds. The Lake Ashi and Komagatake Ropeway gave us a panoramic view of the adjacent mountain ranges. The lunch at the Highland Hotel and Resort is awesome. :)

We didn't know what to expect, but we were sure glad that we took this trip. The forecast was for rain in the afternoon, but we were lucky and was able to see the top of Mt. Fuji since we got there by 11:30am or so. We had lunch at the nearby hotel, and it was the typical Japanese bento and very good. Afterwards when we went to ride the boat on Lake Ashi, it began to rain. The boat was big and covered so it was no problem. We did get wet when we had to walk to the aerial cableway to ride to the top of Mt. Komagatake. We weren't lucky here since we couldn't see anything due to the rain. After a short time, we rode back and down and had time to shop. Afterwards it was time to go back down the mountain. We were supposed to go back to Tokyo by bus, but since I wasn't feeling well we took the Shinkansen so it was a quicker ride back. We did have to pay extra, but that was okay. Overall, this trip is worth it and the guide Mariko was the best! She speaks English fluently and even has a great sense of humor.

This trip is awesome, well organized and easy to get to and get home from. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I loved our guide he is an informative and comical man, we went on the Thursday 3rd Feb 2011 and he really gave us all a insightful look into Tokyo, Mt Fuji and everything leading up to it as well as Lake Ashi and the Ropeway Mt Komagatake and Japan. an amazing tour, The tour itself was relaxed and had plenty of time for shopping and looking around each place we stopped so defintely lots of tie for the 'great photo shot'. Awesome views of Mt fuji, well everything we saw on this tour. I always have lots of fun with the tours provided by Viaor whatever country I'm visiting. Thank you again.....

This was an amazing day trip. We got to see some amazing views and enjoy the local culture. The only problem with this trip is that there is only about 1 chance you will see the whole of mount Fuji. On the day we went we didn't see the top but it was still well worth going. The meal we received was lovely with all types of sushi. The boat trip on Lake Ashi was fab too. Very relaxing. I would definitely recommend this trip but i would advise going more in the spring or summer months due to the weather worsening your chances of seeing the mountain. Make sure you take scarfs, hats and gloves because it is very cold up mount Fuji and even colder at the top of Mt.Komagatake where we experienced high winds and snow!

Spectacular views of Mt Fuji for the whole day. Due to snow on previous days, we were only able to go to the first station on Mt Fuji. Lake Ashi cruise was fantastic, and Hakone was by far the best part of the day! Amazing, awe inspiring views from Hakone and Mt Komagatake! Fantastic tour guide had a wealth of knowledge and passion for the area! We even made origami Mt Fujis on the bus!

LAWRENCE WEN LOONG C Hong Kong
My husband and I were glad we made this tour our first day itinerary during our four day Tokyo trip as it was a spectacular tour, and the view of Mount Fuji and Pacific Ocean from Mt Komagatake was breathtaking, so was the short cruise of Lake Ashi! The tour operator was professionally run and our tour guide was very informative and we definitely learned a lot about Japan from him! He was also very helpful in answering all our queries and even took the trouble to guide and recommend us to places around Tokyo when we were on our own the next few days. He was very efficient and made sure all the way we were safely dropped at the right station from m our Shinkansen train. A tour definitely recommended highly!
Doing what: Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
Fantastic trip, guide was very enthusiastic and informative. We were lucky that Fuji was completely clear when we went, the guide was telling us that it is rare for that to happen. Note that you will be on the bus a lot. Hotel to bus station to Fuji Visitor Center to 5th station to Lake AshiHakone Komagatake Ropeway to Odawara Station is all by bus. Time to shop for souvenirs at each stop. Taking the bullet train back was a nice finishing touch, although you may arrive back at Tokyo Station during rush hour. Tip 1: You can take pictures of Fuji at the Fuji Visitor Center, but one the widest, least obstructed views is on the bus ride over, so you may want to sit on the left side and have your camera ready. Tip 2: You can use your bullet train ticket to transfer onto a JR train to get back to your hotel, as there is no drop off service. Tip 3: You can opt to use your bullet train ticket to travel elsewhere in Japan. One couple brought their luggage and used it to go to Yokohama.

This was a great value and a great day out, with plenty to interest and entertain. Bad weather prevented us from going further up Mt. Fuji than the fifth station, which was a bit of a disappointment, as frankly there is not a great deal more to see at this level. However, the lake trip and the cable car are all good fun, especially climbing the two hundred or so steps in deep snow to get to the shrine on the top of Mt Komagatake. We thought the lunch was poor, so we bought some cakes to make up for it! Returning by Bullet Train topped off this great day. As usual with these trips, you need to get back to your hotel on your own, but the guide gives clear directions as to how to use the metro, so it's absolutely no problem.

This was the perfect day trip. I was only in Japan for 2 days but felt that I was able to see so much without feeling rushed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. I met some great people from Australia and the UK. The view of Mount Fuji from Mount Komagatake was surreal. We had good weather. Mount Fuji looked as though it was floating on clouds. The memories of this one day will last a lifetime.

What can I say? The view of Mt. Fuji and the experience gained is priceless. It was definitely worth every cent paid. We were very fortunate as the day of the tour started bright and sunny. Our guide for the Tokyo bay cruise told us that she had been to Hakone six times but never had the chance to view Fuji-san, so we considered ourself blessed to be able to see the sunset on Fuji-san. The sight of Fuji-san as the sun set from Mt. Komagatake was breathtaking, and we wished we could stay there forever. It was like heaven with the clouds below us. The cruise on Lake Ashi was wonderful, and the guide was very knowledgeable and patient.

After days of shopping in Tokyo it was really nice to get away from the city. The tour was well-organised and our group of 7 - 4 adults and 3 kids age 6 to 10 really enjoyed ourselves. Although we couldn't see Mt Fuji due to the clouds, the ride to Mt Fuji was scenic and enjoyable. Lake Ashi was beautiful and the ride on the aerial cableway to Mt Komagatake was amazing. We were extremely lucky to have a great tour guide. He told us about history of Japan and even taught us origami on the bus. He was a very responsible and extremely organised tour guide.
Doing what: Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
Great trip! The tour was nice and the staff were friendly though thy made sure you stayed on schedule! The highlight was the mountaintop after riding up the Mt Komagatake Ropeway. It was cloudy that day, so between the the wind and clouds, I felt like I was in a different world. Spectacular!
Doing what: Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
Our tour guide was very helpful and enthusiastic to provide as much information about her knowledge of Japan and the sights we were seeing. I thoroughly enjoyed Mt Komagatake, found it breathtaking. For myself, I think I would have preferred to climb Mt Fuji but that's just personal preference. Overall, I enjoyed the tour as I did this on my first day after flying from home and found it useful as I did not know much about the Japanese culture and learned a great deal.
Doing what: Mt Fuji Day Trip including Lake Ashi Sightseeing Cruise from Tokyo
Although the weather was rainy, the tour was very enjoyable. The cruise on Lake Ashi and the Mt Komagatake Ropeway were great complementary activities. Harry was a good tour guide and a nice person. My only criticism is that some of his comments seemed to delve too much into his personal life.
Doing what: Mt Fuji Day Trip including Lake Ashi Sightseeing Cruise from Tokyo
We were lucky to have a clear but windy weather on the day of our tour on Wed.13May2015.
Our tour started with our tour bus picking us up at Keio Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku and leaving at 9am.
Then we were presented with views of Mt. Fuji as we drove towards the 5th Station. Mt. Fuji and the surrounding mountain ranges were so clear and simply spectacular from the many vantage points and lookouts at the 5th Station.
Seeing Mt.Fuji was just breathtaking and beautiful to behold! We were quite fortunate as the tour guide said that it is mostly covered in fog or clouds during May. Seeing Mt.Fuji was simply breathtaking and beautiful to behold! But 30mins viewing and picture taking was just not enough time! Would have loved more time to shop for souvenirs too.
Lunch consisted of traditional Japanese food at Kawaguchiko Lakeside Hotel, but it was the magnificent view of Mt. Fuji again that made it worthwhile!
The short cruise of Lake Ashi was memorable and again the mountain views were simply gorgeous.
Very disappointed that we weren't able to go up the Mt. Komagatake Ropeway because it was too windy, however the alternative of visiting the Narukawa Art Museum turned out ok. The artwork and sculptures on display were impressive but it was the view of Lake Ashi and Mt. Fuji from the gardens below the museum was perfect for picture taking!
From here the tour ends and the bus takes you back to Keio Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku arriving around 8pm.
Overall I highly recommend this tour, and hopefully when you do go on your tour the weather cooperates and gives you a clear day in seeing the spectacular beauty of Mt.Fuji!

Spectacular places to visit, I especially enjoyed the breathtaking view over Lake Ashi from the top of the Komagatake Ropeway.
The guide was welcoming, however her commentary was a complete miss.

Nov 22 2012, 9:05am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr
'Big Bang Theory' actress Mayim Bialik is getting a divorce.
The 36-year-old star has split from husband Michael Stone after nine years, citing ''irreconcilable differences''.
She wrote on her blog at Kveller.com: ''After much consideration and soul-searching, Michael and I have arrived at the decision to divorce.''
Speaking about how they are planning to handle the difficult subject of splitting to their sons Miles, seven, and Fred, four, she added: ''Divorce is terribly sad, painful and incomprehensible for children. It is not something we have decided lightly.
''The main priority for us now is to make the transition to two loving homes as smooth and painless as possible.
''Our sons deserve parents committed to their growth and health and that's what we are focusing on.''
Mayim is adamant the 'Attachment Parenting' philosophy - which was developed by paediatrician William Sears - she and Michael practice did not play a part in the couple's decision to divorce.
The actress - who married Michael in California in 2003 - wrote: ''The hands-on style of parenting we practice played no role in the changes that led to this decision; relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose.''

In January of each year, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia revises historical data for the Business Outlook Survey after calculating new seasonal adjustment factors. Because survey responses are characterized by seasonal patterns, new seasonal factors are calculated annually based on the addition of a complete year of data. While this year's revisions altered levels of the indexes for certain months, the pattern of change in most series was not significantly affected. The current general activity index remained negative for 11 of 12 months in 2008 (although the index was positive in August, it was revised down from 3.8 to 1.9). The largest revisions of the current general activity index were for the months of January and August. The revisions increased the current general activity index in January 2008 from -20.9 to -12.0. For August the index was revised down from -12.7 to -20.1.

'Cutie and the Boxer' showcases one artistic couple's functional dysfunction
Meanwhile Noriko, who one senses has long resented living under the shadow of this larger-than-life figure, feels she's finally escaped his influence in her own work. (It doesn't help that, when acknowledging that she's his occasional, reluctant assistant, Gyu-Chan confides "The average one has to support the genius.") She's working on a series of narrative, cartoon-like drawings depicting the titular "Cutie" and "Bullie" — blatant stand-ins for herself and Ushio, chronicling her long saga of disillusionment as a classic "good girl" who married a bad boy, to the detriment of her own art and the child she had to raise with "drunk adults hanging around him all the time." (It is one of the film's frustrations that we never really get Alex's perspective on this, though he's clearly a wary veteran of his parents' misbehaviors and judgments.)
If her husband is discomfited by this exposure of their private life — even when the "Cutie" series (which is turned into simple animation throughout the documentary) is exhibited in conjunction with his own latest gallery show — he doesn't show it. But then, she does the fretting for both of them.
A quiet, almost meditative portrait of messy lives, Cutie and the Boxer doesn't really answer the question of why these two remained together despite all (her) dissatisfaction. When he accepts an invitation to go to Japan — cramming a couple of small sculptures carelessly in his suitcase to sell while there — she says "suddenly the air clears" whenever he's gone, and we see her lighten up considerably while showing a fellow Japanese expat friend her latest work. But you get the feeling Noriko, while hardly an emotional open book, loves her burdensome, unruly spouse more than she'd admit. Or at least she's accepted the "struggle" of life with him as her own goading raison d'être. You know the saying: life is short, art is long. *

Does the outcome of last month's election in Italy have any relevance to the U.S.? A youngish center-left candidate who claimed to represent a new politics of hope, "Si puo fare," ("It can be done") lost decisively to a 71-year-old figure of the center-right who is nothing if not a familiar fixture of Italian politics. The loser's resemblance to Barack Obama is not coincidental. Walter Veltroni was the first European politician to promote Obama after the two met in 2005. Veltroni wrote the introduction for the Italian release of "The Audacity of Hope." While he has moved to the center in recent years, Veltroni began his political life in the Communist Party, a biographical detail unforgiven by some voters.
But Silvio Berlusconi pulled out a great victory. And that is where resemblances to American politics must end. Consider what Berlusconi faces. The New York Times reported it this way: "Beginning his third term as prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi on Wednesday pledged unusually forceful measures to solve Italy's deep problems. These steps include new restrictions on illegal immigrants and the use of the military to tackle the longstanding garbage crisis in Naples." The military? To clear garbage?
Your humble correspondent was just in Italy last week and amid many delights (including the gorgeous Amalfi Coast) had the misfortune to spend the better part of a day in Naples. Nothing prepares you for the squalor. The trash is piled up in great hillocks around the city, many as much as one-story high. The stench is oppressive. A great deal of garbage has of course escaped its plastic bags and decorates the streets and sidewalks. Everywhere your eye falls, even in the district surrounding the Palazzo Reale (Royal Palace), blight reigns. Having just seen Rome and Sorrento, Naples was a jar.
My friend Michael Ledeen, an expert on Italian fascism, Eurocommunism, the history of Italy, terrorism, and many other subjects, is completing a book on Naples. He compares it to New Orleans, another corrupt city. Both cities are doomed, he explains. New Orleans, it need hardly be recalled post-Katrina, lies below sea level in the path of hurricanes. Naples sits right below Mount Vesuvius, which has erupted dozens of times since its catastrophic explosion in A.D. 79, most recently in 1944.
The question now is whether the Italian government has the wherewithal to deal with the literal and figurative mess. Italy is famed for its ungovernability. The trash has piled up in the streets of Naples because the dumps are full and when a new dump or incinerator is proposed, there is loud protest from those in proximity to the planned site. The NIMBY impulse is killing a great European city.

Conference Paper: Quality lowers cost: the cost effectiveness of a multicenter treatment bundle for severe sepsis and septic shock
Article: Impact of an Electronic Clinical Decision Support Tool for Emergency Department Patients With Pneumonia[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Study objective: Despite evidence that guideline adherence improves clinical outcomes, management of pneumonia patients varies in emergency departments (EDs). We study the effect of a real-time, ED, electronic clinical decision support tool that provides clinicians with guideline-recommended decision support for diagnosis, severity assessment, disposition, and antibiotic selection. Methods: This was a prospective, controlled, quasi-experimental trial in 7 Intermountain Healthcare hospital EDs in Utah's urban corridor. We studied adults with International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes and radiographic evidence for pneumonia during 2 periods: baseline (December 2009 through November 2010) and post-tool deployment (December 2011 through November 2012). The tool was deployed at 4 intervention EDs in May 2011, leaving 3 as usual care controls. We compared 30-day, all-cause mortality adjusted for illness severity, using a mixed-effect, logistic regression model. Results: The study population comprised 4,758 ED pneumonia patients; 14% had health care-associated pneumonia. Median age was 58 years, 53% were female patients, and 59% were admitted to the hospital. Physicians applied the tool for 62.6% of intervention ED study patients. There was no difference overall in severity-adjusted mortality between intervention and usual care EDs post-tool deployment (odds ratio [OR]=0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.41 to 1.16). Post hoc analysis showed that patients with community-acquired pneumonia experienced significantly lower mortality (OR=0.53; 95% CI 0.28 to 0.99), whereas mortality was unchanged among patients with health care-associated pneumonia (OR=1.12; 95% CI 0.45 to 2.8). Patient disposition from the ED postdeployment adhered more to tool recommendations. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the feasibility and potential benefit of real-time electronic clinical decision support for ED pneumonia patients.

ABSTRACT: Rationale: Severe sepsis and septic shock are leading causes of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, morbidity, and mortality. The effect of compliance with sepsis management guidelines on outcomes is unclear. Objectives: To assess the effect on mortality of compliance with a severe sepsis / septic shock management bundle Methods: Observational study of a severe sepsis / septic shock bundle as part of a quality improvement project in eighteen ICUs in eleven hospitals in Utah and Idaho Measurements and Main Results: Among 4329 adult subjects with severe sepsis or septic shock admitted to study ICUs from the emergency department between January 2004 and December 2010, hospital mortality was 12.1%, declining from 21.2% in 2004 to 8.7% in 2010. All-or-none total bundle compliance increased from 4.9% to 73.4% simultaneously. Mortality declined from 21.7% in 2004 to 9.7% in 2010 among subjects not compliant with one or more bundle element. Regression models adjusting for age, severity of illness, and comorbidities identified an association between mortality and compliance with each of inotropes and/or red cell transfusions, glucocorticoids, and lung protective ventilation. Compliance with early resuscitation elements during the first 3 hours following emergency department admission caused ineligibility, through lower subsequent severity of illness, for these later bundle elements. Conclusion: Total severe sepsis and septic shock bundle compliances increased substantially and were associated with a marked reduction in hospital mortality after adjustment for age, severity of illness, and comorbidities in a multicenter ICU cohort. Early resuscitation bundle element compliance predicted ineligibility for subsequent bundle elements.
Article: Adherence to PIOPED II Investigators' Recommendations for Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography use has increased dramatically, raising concerns for patient safety. Adherence to recommendations and guidelines may protect patients. We measured adherence to the recommendations of Prospective Investigation of Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis (PIOPED II) investigators for evaluation of suspected pulmonary embolism and the rate of potential false-positive pulmonary embolism diagnoses when recommendations of PIOPED II investigators were not followed. Methods: We used a structured record review to identify 3500 consecutive CT pulmonary angiograms performed to investigate suspected pulmonary embolism in 2 urban emergency departments, calculating the revised Geneva score (RGS) to classify patients as "pulmonary embolism unlikely" (RGS≤10) or "pulmonary embolism likely" (RGS>10). CT pulmonary angiograms were concordant with PIOPED II investigator recommendations if pulmonary embolism was likely or pulmonary embolism was unlikely and a highly sensitive D-dimer test result was positive. We independently reviewed 482 CT pulmonary angiograms to measure the rate of potential false-positive pulmonary embolism diagnoses. Results: A total of 1592 of 3500 CT pulmonary angiograms (45.5%) followed the recommendations of PIOPED II investigators. The remaining 1908 CT pulmonary angiograms were performed on patients with an RGS≤10 without a D-dimer test (n=1588) or after a negative D-dimer test result (n=320). The overall rate of pulmonary embolism was 9.7%. Potential false-positive diagnoses of pulmonary embolism occurred in 2 of 3 patients with an RGS≤10 and a negative D-dimer test result. Conclusions: Nonadherence to recommendations for CT pulmonary angiography is common and exposes patients to increased risks, including potential false-positive diagnoses of pulmonary embolism.

Conference Paper: Diagnostic Accuracy of CT Pulmonary Angiography for Suspected Pulmonary Embolism in Relation to the Pre-test Probability of Disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: PURPOSE CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is frequently used for diagnosis of suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). The rate of false positive and false negative studies increases when the pretest probability for PE is discordant with the results of this test. We measured rates of inaccurate diagnosis of suspected PE for CTPA as interpreted by general vs. chest radiologists and stratified the results by pretest probability. METHOD AND MATERIALS This retrospective study was conducted in the Emergency Departments at Intermountain Medical Center and LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. All CTPAs from July 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010 were identified through a query of the Intermountain Enterprise Data Warehouse. Studies originally interpreted by the general radiology group were blindly re-interpreted by one of three fellowship-trained chest radiologists. The chest radiologists' interpretations were used as the standard to measure the rates of false-positive and false-negative diagnosis. Kappa coefficients for agreement amongst the chest radiologists were calculated by overlapping 20% of the sample. Pretest probability was calculated for each patient using a Revised Geneva Score (RGS). The patients were stratified based on pretest probability and the rates of inaccurate diagnoses were reported for each group. RESULTS 241 consecutive positive studies and 241 randomly selected negative studies were distributed to the study radiologists and 99 studies overlapped with two study radiologists. Thirteen/298 studies (4.4%) were false-positive and 7/283 studies (2.5%) were false-negative. The chest radiologists' Kappa coefficients were 1.0, 0.94, and 0.94. The pretest probabilities of the study sample by RGS were low probability 25%, intermediate probability 64%, and high probability 11%. False positive rates for low, intermediate, and high probability were 3.1%, 5.3%, and 0%. False negative rates for the same groups were 6.0%, 2.2%, and 0% respectively. CONCLUSION CTPA carries risk for inaccurate diagnosis. Our results showed that this risk of inaccuracy varied according to the pre-test probability for PE. CLINICAL RELEVANCE/APPLICATION The rates of inaccurate diagnosis of pulmonary embolism with CT pulmonary angiography vary with pre-test probability for disease. A pre-test probability assessment is recommended prior to imaging.
Article: Hospital Admission Decision for Patients With Community-Acquired Pneumonia: Variability Among Physicians in an Emergency Department[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We examine variability among emergency physicians in rate of hospitalization for patients with pneumonia and the effect of variability on clinical outcomes. We studied 2,069 LDS Hospital emergency department (ED) patients with community-acquired pneumonia who were aged 18 years or older during 1996 to 2006, identified by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision coding and compatible chest radiographs. We extracted vital signs, laboratory and radiographic results, hospitalization, and outcomes from the electronic medical record. We defined "low severity" as PaO(2)/FiO(2) ratio greater than or equal to 280 mm Hg, predicted mortality less than 5% by an electronic version of CURB-65 that uses continuous and weighted elements (eCURB), and less than 3 Infectious Disease Society of America-American Thoracic Society 2007 severe pneumonia minor criteria. We adjusted hospitalization decisions and outcomes for illness severity and patient demographics. Initial hospitalization rate was 58%; 10.7% of patients initially treated as outpatients were secondarily hospitalized within 7 days. Median age of admitted patients was 63 years; median eCURB predicted mortality was 2.65% (mean 6.8%) versus 46 years and 0.93% for outpatients. The 18 emergency physicians (average age 44.9 [standard deviation 7.6] years; years in practice 8.4 [standard deviation 6.9]) objectively calculated and documented illness severity in 2.7% of patients. Observed 30-day mortality for inpatients was 6.8% (outpatient mortality 0.34%) and decreased over time. Individual physician admission rates ranged from 38% to 79%, with variability not explained by illness severity, time of day, day of week, resident care in conjunction with an attending physician, or patient or physician demographics. Higher hospitalization rates were not associated with reduced mortality or fewer secondary hospital admissions. We observed a 2-fold difference in pneumonia hospitalization rates among emergency physicians, unexplained by objective data.

ABSTRACT: We apply a previously described tool to forecast emergency department (ED) crowding at multiple institutions and assess its generalizability for predicting the near-future waiting count, occupancy level, and boarding count. The ForecastED tool was validated with historical data from 5 institutions external to the development site. A sliding-window design separated the data for parameter estimation and forecast validation. Observations were sampled at consecutive 10-minute intervals during 12 months (n=52,560) at 4 sites and 10 months (n=44,064) at the fifth. Three outcome measures-the waiting count, occupancy level, and boarding count-were forecast 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours beyond each observation, and forecasts were compared with observed data at corresponding times. The reliability and calibration were measured following previously described methods. After linear calibration, the forecasting accuracy was measured with the median absolute error. The tool was successfully used for 5 different sites. Its forecasts were more reliable, better calibrated, and more accurate at 2 hours than at 8 hours. The reliability and calibration of the tool were similar between the original development site and external sites; the boarding count was an exception, which was less reliable at 4 of 5 sites. Some variability in accuracy existed among institutions; when forecasting 4 hours into the future, the median absolute error of the waiting count ranged between 0.6 and 3.1 patients, the median absolute error of the occupancy level ranged between 9.0% and 14.5% of beds, and the median absolute error of the boarding count ranged between 0.9 and 2.8 patients. The ForecastED tool generated potentially useful forecasts of input and throughput measures of ED crowding at 5 external sites, without modifying the underlying assumptions. Noting the limitation that this was not a real-time validation, ongoing research will focus on integrating the tool with ED information systems.
Article: I NTUBATION S UCCESS R ATES BY A IR A MBULANCE P ERSONNEL DURING 12- VERSUS 24- HOUR S HIFTS : D OES F ATIGUE M AKE A D IFFERENCE ?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives. To determine whether the skill performance and psychomotor agility, as measured by the endotracheal intubation success rate, of air ambulance medical personnel would be affected by the potential fatigue incurred when increasing the length of their shifts from 12 to 24 hours. Methods. This was a retrospective review of all flight and intubation records from a large air medical transport system from 1997, when 24-hour shifts were in place, and six months (March–August) of 1996, during which 12-hour shifts were scheduled. Records of all intubation efforts during both periods, including multiple attempts per patient, and outcomes of all attempts, were recorded. Results of successes and failures were tabulated for both ultimate intubation outcome per patient and all attempts per patient for each calendar day and for the 12 hours between 19:00 and 07:00 when fatigue might play a role. Results from the two study periods were compared using Fisher's exact test. Results. During the six months of 1996, 190 of 199 (95.5%) patients were ultimately successfully intubated. These patients required 237 attempts (80.1% successful). During 1997, 362 of 376 (96.3%) patients were successfully intubated, and required 438 attempts (82.6% successful). There was no statistically significant difference in the number of ultimately successful intubations (p = 0.66) or total intubation attempts (p = 0.37) between 1996 and 1997. Analysis of intubations between 19:00 and 07:00 revealed 81 of 84 (96.4%) patients successfully intubated in 1996, with 81 of 103 (78.6%) attempts successful. During 1997, 173 of 180 (96.1%) patients were ultimately successfully intubated, with 173 of 212 (81.6%) attempts successful. Again, there was no significant difference in the number of successful intubations (p = 0.99) or intubation attempts (p = 0.55) between 1996 and 1997. Conclusion. Psychomotor agility of air ambulance medical personnel, as measured by the success rate of endotracheal intubation, was not affected by the potential additional fatigue incurred as a result of increasing shift length from 12 to 24 hours.
Article: 97: Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves for Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome Criteria in Patients With Documented Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock
Article: A multivariate time series approach to modeling and forecasting demand in the emergency department[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The goals of this investigation were to study the temporal relationships between the demands for key resources in the emergency department (ED) and the inpatient hospital, and to develop multivariate forecasting models. Hourly data were collected from three diverse hospitals for the year 2006. Descriptive analysis and model fitting were carried out using graphical and multivariate time series methods. Multivariate models were compared to a univariate benchmark model in terms of their ability to provide out-of-sample forecasts of ED census and the demands for diagnostic resources. Descriptive analyses revealed little temporal interaction between the demand for inpatient resources and the demand for ED resources at the facilities considered. Multivariate models provided more accurate forecasts of ED census and of the demands for diagnostic resources. Our results suggest that multivariate time series models can be used to reliably forecast ED patient census; however, forecasts of the demands for diagnostic resources were not sufficiently reliable to be useful in the clinical setting.

ABSTRACT: Intermountain Healthcare (Salt Lake City), in conjunction with emergency department (ED) staff at LDS Hospital, designed an integrated patient tracking system (PTS) and a specialized data repository (ED Data Mart) that was part of an overall enterprisewide data warehouse. After two years of internal beta testing the PTS and its associated data captures, an analysis of various ED operations by time of day was undertaken. Real-time data, concurrent with individual ED patient encounters from July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005 were included in a retrospective analysis. A number of patterns were revealed that provide a starting point for understanding ED processes and flow. In particular, ED census, acuity, operations, and throughput vary with the time of day. For example, patients seen during low-census times, in the middle of the night, appear to have a higher acuity. Radiology and laboratory utilization were highly correlated with ED arrivals, and the higher the acuity, the greater the utilization. Although it is unclear whether or not these patterns will be applicable to other hospitals in and out of the cohort of tertiary care hospitals, ED cycle data can help all facilities anticipate the resources needed and the services required for efficient patient flow. For example, the fact that scheduling of most service departments falls off after 5:00 P.M., just when the ED is most in need of those services, illustrates a fundamental mismatch between service capacity and demand.

ABSTRACT: Emergency department (ED) overcrowding has become a frequent topic of investigation. Despite a significant body of research, there is no standard definition or measurement of ED crowding. Four quantitative scales for ED crowding have been proposed in the literature: the Real-time Emergency Analysis of Demand Indicators (READI), the Emergency Department Work Index (EDWIN), the National Emergency Department Overcrowding Study (NEDOCS) scale, and the Emergency Department Crowding Scale (EDCS). These four scales have yet to be independently evaluated and compared. The goals of this study were to formally compare four existing quantitative ED crowding scales by measuring their ability to detect instances of perceived ED crowding and to determine whether any of these scales provide a generalizable solution for measuring ED crowding. Data were collected at two-hour intervals over 135 consecutive sampling instances. Physician and nurse agreement was assessed using weighted kappa statistics. The crowding scales were compared via correlation statistics and their ability to predict perceived instances of ED crowding. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values were calculated at site-specific cut points and at the recommended thresholds. All four of the crowding scales were significantly correlated, but their predictive abilities varied widely. NEDOCS had the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AROC) (0.92), while EDCS had the lowest (0.64). The recommended thresholds for the crowding scales were rarely exceeded; therefore, the scales were adjusted to site-specific cut points. At a site-specific cut point of 37.19, NEDOCS had the highest sensitivity (0.81), specificity (0.87), and positive predictive value (0.62). At the study site, the suggested thresholds of the published crowding scales did not agree with providers' perceptions of ED crowding. Even after adjusting the scales to site-specific thresholds, a relatively low prevalence of ED crowding resulted in unacceptably low positive predictive values for each scale. These results indicate that these crowding scales lack scalability and do not perform as designed in EDs where crowding is not the norm. However, two of the crowding scales, EDWIN and NEDOCS, and one of the READI subscales, bed ratio, yielded good predictive power (AROC >0.80) of perceived ED crowding, suggesting that they could be used effectively after a period of site-specific calibration at EDs where crowding is a frequent occurrence.

In the puritanical Boston of the 17th Century, a woman gives birth after committing adultery. That woman, Hester Prynne, choses to create a new life for herself in the face of adversity rather than succumb to what is expected of her. She will not name the father. Her decision opens up the tension between religious life and the true grace of God, and between personal guilt, religious sin and legal guilt.
The novel is prefaced by a "real" account of the author finding notes on a case similar to Hestor's in a Custom House, from which he fashioned the story. The preface is to be read as fictional.

The Voice of Inclusion
"It's time for me to step forward and be the voice of inclusion that this party desperately needs. And, it's not so I can defend a bunch of establishment Republicans, but so that I can reach my people, my community, who I don't think identifies with us but whose values I know we represent," Fritsch says.

Supreme Court Sidewalk
March 13, 2010 § 1 Comment
The last time we walked by the marble steps of the Supreme Court, it was 4:30 pm and the late afternoon sun shone lazily in the sky. "Lazily," because it couldn't be bothered to provide us with any warmth. The weather itself was briskly chilly.
We sat in a group, 32 members strong on the cold marble, huddling for warmth.
"Do you guys want to camp out?" Mr. Chiang asked.
My eyes widened. YES, I said under my breath. PLEASE.
There was chatter and noise as people argued and complained about the cold.
"Can we go back to the hotel? It's not worth it!" "But what if we WANT to sleep outside?" "Can we come early in the morning?"
And after about 20 minutes of useless argumentation, it was settled. Those of us who wanted to would camp out. The rest would stay at the hotel.
I couldn't believe it was really happening.
Sara and I jumped up and down. "We're camping out! We're camping out!" we squealed. I stepped out onto the curb and flagged a taxi for my group of four. "Best Western Iwo Jima, Arlington," I told the driver, and, brimming with excitement, we rushed back to the hotel.
In loud voices and barely contained excitement, we discussed what we were going to wear, what we were going to take. "Can I borrow your hat?" "Where are my tights?" "What shoes are you wearing?" "Do you think this will fit in the Supreme Court lockers?" "I NEED TO PEE."
At the end of the frantic 10 minutes, I was wearing tights, knee-high socks, jeans, boots that came up past my calves, and waterproof pants over it all (in case we made snow angels). Four layers there, and five layers on top – a tank top, long-sleeve shirt, t-shirt, cardigan, cable-knit sweater, and wool coat. And a hat, gloves, and scarf (none of which matched). Yes, I felt massive. Sleeping bag and small necessities in hand, I marched out of the room with my dorm-mates and shut the door before racing to catch up with the rest of the group.
Fifteen of us walked under the slowly darkening sky towards the Supreme Court. At the last block, Sam and I looked at each other. Let's sprint the last bit. And, muffled in our five layers, blankets and sleeping bags in hand, we ran down the cement sidewalk, joyously, youthfully, laughing and holding on to our hats, our scarves bouncing, panting, out of breath.
Later that night, I lay wrapped in a kiddie-sized sleeping bag and aluminum emergency blanket, my hood and purple beret serving as a pillow on the icy concrete. I looked to my left – Sara was turned on her side, facing Esther. I couldn't tell if she was asleep or just laying down. I sat up. I saw a few people up and about, hopping up and down, engaged in a futile effort to warm themselves. I lay back down and looked to my right. I saw Mr. Chiang's feet sticking out from under his aluminum blanket. I couldn't even tell where his head was, he was so buried under his layers.
I looked up.
I saw a scattering of stars, looking like miniscule pinpricks of light, tiny granules of sugar in the dark, plum-colored night sky. I saw the bare branches of a couple of trees framing the magnificent view of the Capitol building, lit up so every pillar and every contour was outlined in its own charcoal gray shadow. I saw street lamps that tinged the purple above a slight orange, giving definition to the clouds that lay in wisps all over the sky.
I smiled slightly. I was tired, and my knees ached, and my feet felt – well, actually I couldn't really feel my feet, despite the fact that I had stuffed handwarmers into the toes of my boots.
I didn't reflect on the night at that point. I didn't think about the interview with Adam Liptak of the New York Times, I didn't think about our conversation with the blue-haired law student from George Mason, I didn't think about our attempt at telling scary stories just a few minutes before.
I just smiled and imprinted every last detail of that view I had, lying there on the hard ground, onto my brain. I knew that I wanted the last thing I saw before falling asleep (little did I know that I would only sleep for half an hour) to be the sky and the stars and the Capitol Building.
I smiled. I watched. I pulled the obnoxiously bright turquoise sleeping bag up to my chin, wiggled my toes, pulled my hat over my eyes and my scarf over my nose and chin, and closed my eyes.
That was one beautiful night, that night. That 27 degrees Fahrenheit, deliriously cold and happy night spent on the cold hard cement of the Supreme Court sidewalk.

Batman hugs his family after defeating the Joker and his henchmen in a Christmas-themed carnival. Damian is mocking Tim, as usual.
Dick: I love you, Babs
Barbara: I love you too
Jason: I hate this holiday
Tim: Stop mocking, Damian!
Damian: Make me, Tim!
Barbara: I love you too
Jason: I hate this holiday
Tim: Stop mocking, Damian!
Damian: Make me, Tim!
Haha, that's probably what they were saying!
And Damian has no more because call Dick and Tim only by his surname, as they have become friends since 2009. But as he hates Jason, yes he can call him Todd and more.
Cool idea, awesome colour scheme, and a perfect x-mas card
Nice family! /\__M__/\
i love this picture. (question is jsaon making sure tim doesn't fall over?)
Thanks! Nope, was actually going for a "oh no, Batman's hugging me, I don't know how to react!" look, so his arm looks that way. But I see what you mean!

Il Duomo
The most impressive building in Monza is the Duomo. Apart from its stunning beauty, it is of great historical importance. The legend says that on that John the Baptist addressed queen Teodolinda in her sleep and told her she should build a church in the place that today is called Monza. When she woke up, she came there and a white dove showed her the spot where the church should be built. It was in 6th century A.D. Today's Duomo was built in 14th-15th century on the place of the ruins of the original church, that can still be seen in the glass covered floor of the Duomo.
Monza owes its existance to Teodolinda and the church she built, because the town developed around the church during the time...
iron crown
Inside the Duomo there is an iron crown, well kept in the safe box that the person responsible for it opens to the small groups of people visiting. The ticket is 1 euro.
The crown was a gift from pope to Teodolinda because she converted pagans of Lombrady to Christianity. There is an iron circle that by the legend originates from the Christ's crucifix, and on it are attached several golden plates with precious stones. It is believed that the crown brings power and success to the king crowned with it, and thus many were fighting to have it on their head. Some of the great emperors crowned with the iron crown: Napoleon, Carlo the Great, Carlo V.
The crown never left the Duomo of Monza.
Teodolinda, the queen who founded Monza, is buried inside the church in this stone sarcophagus, in the chamber with the iron crown and with walls pained with stories from her life and telling about the history of the place. Since the frescoes were finished in 1444, and Teodolinda lived in 6th century A.D. they didn't know what kind of clothes people were wearing then, so the church painters pained everything in the 15th century fashion. :)
Autodromo - The Circuit
The place that made Monza famous worldwide. Unfortunately, it's not its history and culture, but the formula 1 races. Once a year the Grand Prix is being held in this circuit, situated in the huge famous Monza park, and if you want to visit the site out of the racing dates, prepare 10 euros per person! A rip off, just to see the circuit!!! Then imagine the ticket price if you want to see the race...
Inside the Duomo there is the iron crown already mentioned, that Napoleon used to proclaim himself as the emperor of Italy. he didn't wait for the priest to put the crown on his head, the took it himself and said something like to have the crown always on his head and that everyone who tries to take it away from him would die.
This board is inside the Duomo.
Il Parco di Monza
The Park of Monza is of enormous proportions, one of the oldest and largest parks in whole Europe. In fact it is celebrating 200 anniversary this year, founded in 1895. During the summer, July and August, it is closed for visitnig it by car, before and after that period you can drive it all over. The best is to rent a bike, but you cannot do it entering through the main entrance, as I did it, since bike-renting is around the northern entrance into the park. The next option is small train, starting every 30 minutes from Porta di Monza at Viale dei Tigli. The price for a train is 1,5 euros, while admission to the park costs 5 euros.
The Autodrome (circuit) of Monza is probably the most interesting sight of the park and many tourists come here especificly to see it.
- Family Travel
Duomo - The Cathedral
The Cathedral and its square were the centre of religious and political life of Monza. The town rises up around its ancient nucleus "oraculum" of the Queen Teodolinda, who ruled here in the 6th century.
The huge complex of Duomo dates to the period of Visconti family, medieval rulers of Milano and whole Lombardy. It has a plan of basilica with three naves, side chapels and chorus. The stunning Gothic facade dates to 1300 and is work of great master Matteo da Campione, while the bell tower was added later on (1592-1606).
- Family Travel
Palazzo Reale
Palazzo Reale, the Royal Palace, is probably the best known sight of Monza. The large complex was built in order to be the seat of the Royal Family of Savoia, but after in 1900 the King Umberto was killed in Monza by an anarchist, they never come back in this town. The palace and the whole complex, situated in the Park, was donated to the city of Monza.
The best is to visit it by organized tours.
- Family Travel
Torre Visconteo
Torre Visconteo (the Visconti Tower) is the only remaining medieval gateway into the town. It was a part of the massive town walls built in the period when Visconti family ruled here.
It is almost hidden and not easy to find, situated outside the medieval structure of the town.
- Family Travel
Ospedale San Gerardino
Ospedale San Gerardino have the reputation as the oldest existing hospital of Northern Italy. It was built in the shape of an convent and since the beginnings, the nurses were exclusevely the nuns. Today it houses the home for the senior people of Monza.
- Family Travel
Tempio di San Gerardino
Tempio di San Gerardino is an small medieval chapel situated in the courtyard of the San Gerardino Hospital. The chapel is, architecturaly, very beautiful and perfectly matches inside the hospital complex. Unfortunately, it was closed by the time of my day-trip visit.
- Family Travel
Torre Via Lambro
It is quite unusual name for the tower, named after the street where it is situated.
The Tower in Lambro Street, even tall and massive in its construction, cannot be seen from the distance because the new structure of the town absorbed it completely. In fact, you can find it only by chance when strolling around side streets of the Cathedral. It is the only remaining defending tower, a part of the medieval city walls.
- Family Travel
Santa Maria Maddalena
Santa Maria Maddalena, known also as Casa di Bernareggio, is fourtheenth century church built by friars Umiliati. It was completely reconstructed in the very beginning of the 17th century and nothing of the original construction have survived. Adjacent to church is an huge nun's monastery.
The church is situated in the centre of the town, right next to the church of Santa Maria in Strada.

Formula One for Girls
I'm sure there are hundreds of female members out there who will have a virtual fit at me giving this tip such a girly title, but I'm a girly girl and F1 wouldn't normally be my "thing".
However, a friend longed to go and, after much persuasion and a little bribery ("Monza is sooo close to the fashion capital of Milan" etc etc) I tripped off to Monza for three days of F1.
Theretofore, F1 for me was represented by Scalextrix sets and annoying Sunday afternoons watching my boyfriend watching those little cars go round and round and....
The reality is quite different! Oh the absolute thrill of it all. You get a bus or coach to somewhere supposedly close to the stadium, then walk for miles in high spirited crowds, and take your seat to watch the cars go round and round. Yes, that's exactly what they do - it's just as you see it on the TV, but in reality the roar of the engines, the occasional crash and burst of smoke right in front of you, the excitement as you cheer on your little team (whichever car you have decided to champion for the weekend), celeb spotting, the roars of the Vodafone crowd - it's magical and breathtaking and thrilling.
Hey, this is from me - a total novice!
In addition to this there's the incredible cameraderie that springs up between the individual groups of international fans. As you wait each morning at Milan Centro for your connecting train to Monza, you will be approached by some little group asking if you're Irish (or whatever) too and striking up an instant conversation and a bond that lasts the train ride, or the day, or maybe even into a drink or a meal that evening when the track is cooling and the excitement is calmed for another day.
On the last day as I sat on a bus taking me from the Stadium to the train station, I was convinced I saw Michael Schumaker all in black leather dismounting a motorcycle and entering a little neighbouring shop. My friend told me it was my imagination, but later an avid fan told me Schumie does that sometimes. It was the icing on the cake for me :-)

San Pietro Martire
The church of San Pietro Martire was built in 1369 but then subsequently restaurated, its present look dates from the early 19th century. At first it used to be the seat of the inquisition but then belonged to the Dominican order who added a concent in adjacent to the church. The bell tower was added in 1817. In its interiors it is three naves separated by the adorned columns. The church preserve valuable frescoes of Lombard school, dating from early 14th century.
In front of the main entrance stands the monument dedicated to the painter Moses Bianchi.

WASHINGTON– Sitting on a subway train in New York City, one can expect anything.
Funny, the seasoned New Yorkers in this video seem mostly unaffected — not even surprised — when cast members from the Tony-winning Broadway hit "The Lion King" break out in a flash mob rendition of "The Circle of Life" in the middle of the ride.
Sure, we know it's the patented New York style not to show emotion when anything out of the ordinary happens on the street, or in the subways, in the Big Apple. But it must have been difficult not to crack even a smile when these virtuosi began belting out this Disney-inspired anthem:
