Outside Medical Costs For Marion County Jail Inmates Drops Dramatically
DeVore reported the amount has come down dramatically since Advanced Medical Care began providing the medical care in July. He says the cost for outside medical care in July was $4,156, in August $1,116 and in September $674. DeVore reports the cost of prescription medication is also down along with the cost of guarding prisoners at the hospital. He is happy with the service and reports the company is paying bills to the hospital promptly.
The news wasn't so good on the cost of housing juveniles at the Franklin County detention center. Another $13,376 was spent in October, bringing the total for the fiscal year that ends December first to $79,423. That's more than $14,000 over budget.
DeVore reported the Marion County Jail had 112 inmates on Wednesday, including 32 being held for the federal government and one for Jefferson County.
Marion County Emergency Services and Disaster Agency Coordinator Donnie Brooks reported members of his department worked 375 hours and traveled 4,200 in providing Halloween patrols this year. Brooks said they concentrated on cemeteries and and churches. DeVore noted very little vandalism was reported.

Activision confirms Call of Duty: Ghosts 'Hardened' and 'Prestige' special editions - and 1080p tactical HM camera
Activision has plans to launch two special editions for Call of Duty: Ghosts, with one of the editions featuring a "legit" 1080p head-mounted tactical camera.
The game studio announced on Wednesday that it would offer a Hardened Edition and a Prestige Edition of the game. Call of Duty: Ghosts is an upcoming first-person shooter video game. It's the tenth instalment in the Call of Duty series, and the sixth developed by Infinity Ward.
The Hardened Edition includes a steel case for the game and Ghosts-themed paracord strap as well as a digital copy of the soundtrack and downloadable content passes. The Prestige Edition has all of that - plus a 1080p head-mounted tactical camera and carrying case.
Reports of the two special editions first emerged after a YouTube user (named "glydoscoop") published a leaked poster for the items. The leakster also posted details of the Hardened Edition to NeoGAF. Activision later confirmed both versions in a press release.
Speaking at a press event on Wednesday, Activision's Eric Hirshberg called the tactical camera "legit," saying it was on par with other leading cameras on the market. The hardware manufacturer was not named.
Ghosts is set to release 5 November for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360. It'll also be the first Call of Duty game available on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Larry King net worth: Larry King is an American radio and television journalist who has a net worth of $150 million. Larry King was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Jewish immigrants. King would have to venture to Miami, Florida to jump start his career in radio, where he first hit the airwaves in 1957 on WAHR. Three years later, King graduated to television where he hosted Miami Undercover on local channel 10 and rose to local celebrity status. King's popularity could not save him from a brush with the law, and he spent a number of years in Louisiana working on comeback until he was welcomed back and hired on Mutual Radio Network (now Mutual Broadcast System) where he quickly went national with The Larry King Show, which gained a devoted audience and over five hundred affiliates. Upon the shows demise in 1984, King bounced back with Larry King Live, which currently ranks as the longest running and most watched television program on CNN, pulling in well over one million viewers on a nightly basis. Among King's awards are ten Cable ACE Awards, two Peabody Awards and a Golden Mike Award. King has had numerous celebrity figures substitute for him, among them comedian Kathy Griffin, journalist/news anchor Dan Rather and Kermit the Frog. King has made numerous self-appearances in film and television including Ghostbusters, Shrek 2 and 30 Rock. King's personal life has received as much attention as his popular show, with eight marriages and now eight divorces under his belt.

We perform firm-level productivity analysis of Canadian freight railways for 1986 to 2009, focusing on the two railways which dominate the market: Canadian National (CN) and Canadian Pacific (CP). We obtain total factor productivity (TFP) estimates both by constructing productivity indices and by econometrically estimating cost functions. Driven in part by operational improvements, the strong TFP growth at both firms considerably outpaced aggregate TFP growth in Canada over the period of interest. This robust TFP growth, together with significant capital deepening, led to impressive labour productivity gains. We pay special attention to the productivity effects of the 1995 privatization of CN. While CN enjoyed much stronger productivity growth over the 1986-2009 period than CP, its performance was equally superior before and after the 1995 privatization.

To do this, the report conducts a comprehensive analysis of the productivity performance of both countries, with particular interest in determining which underlying factors can explain Australia's superior productivity growth in recent years. In addition, the report discusses the literature on the effects of public policy on Australian productivity performance since the 1990s.

We find that although it is not as apparent in actual aggregate labour productivity dynamics, Baumol's growth disease lies behind the Japanese economy. In regard to Baumol's cost disease, the Japanese economy has undergone a change from productivity growth rate differential inflation to productivity growth rate differential deflation since the end of the 1990s. In other words, Baumol's cost disease appears atypically as deflation in the recent performance of the Japanese economy.

Factors considered include technological spillover, R&D and export behavior, agglomeration economies, and public expenditure. We propose modifications to Kelejian and Prucha's (1998) FE-2SLS procedure and Mutl and Pfaffermayr's (2011) RE-FG2SLS procedure to cope with the technical difficulties with our unbalanced panel. Statistical evidence strongly favors the fixed effects model over the random effects model. According to our estimates, there are large and signiffcant technological spillovers among firms. Individually, firms benefit from their own R&D and export activities. Market competition and public expenditure in the local and neighboring jurisdictions are found to be important determinants to productivity. Our model also provides direct evidence that the technological spillover effects attenuate rapidly in spatial distance. Finally, the inter-regional spillover effects are found to be more pronounced and more significant on urban districts or jurisdictions with smaller geographical areas. Geographic proximity to neighbors and special administrative role jointly contribute to this observation.

This implies that the value of 100 lbs of milk will differ across farms due to different solids composition, i.e., fat, protein and other solids. Milk composition can be managed by dairy farm operators via the choice of cow breed, the number of lactations to keep a cow in the herd, ration formulations, feeding management, cow comfort, etc. Given these milk valuation systems we represent the profit maximizing problem of producers a problem of maximizing profits from multiple products (i.e., milk components). The milk valuation system should be accounted for when examining dairy production efficiency. Previous analysis have typically use the total amount of milk produced as a measure of output, not the production of its components. In this paper, we use hedonic aggregate functions to generate an aggregate output index that implicitly incorporated in an input-oriented distance function. We employ data from the 2005 USDA Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS)-Dairy Survey for this analysis. A unique feature of the 2005 survey is that it contains information on the total amount of milk components produced by each farms milking herd. From this analysis we find that the estimated technical efficiency has less variance, but larger range compared to the method using milk yield as output. A great share of producers have technical efficiency more than 0.9.

Based on the empirical evidence on the underlying drivers of energy intensity developments, we decompose changes in aggregate energy intensity into structural changes in the economy (Sector Effect) and within-sector energy efficiency improvements (Efficiency Effect). We analyse how energy price growth and the relative productivity of both sectors affect the direction of research and hence the relative importance of the aforementioned two effects. The relative importance of these effects is determined by energy price growth and relative sector productivity that drive the direction of research. In economies that are relatively more advanced in sectors with low energy intensities, the Sector Effect dominates energy intensity dynamics given no or moderate energy price growth. In contrast, the Efficiency Effect dominates energy intensity developments in economies with a high relative technological level within their energy-intensive industries if moderate energy price growth is above a certain threshold. We further show that temporal energy price shocks might induce a permanent redirection of innovation activities towards sectors with low-energy intensities.

However, does size cause productivity or vice versa? Using matching methods, I find that productivity shocks are followed by significant increases in size defined by employment. In contrast, size shocks are not followed by productivity gains at the firm level. This finding casts doubt on the conventional wisdom that aggregate productivity in Spain is driven by a firm size distribution biased towards small firms in comparison with other developed countries. According to my findings, low firm-level productivity might play a crucial role in shaping the Spanish firm size distribution.

Using precise measures of each worker's daily output linked to daily measures of pollution and meteorology, we find that higher levels of air pollution decrease worker productivity by reducing the number of calls that workers complete each day. These results manifest themselves at commonly found levels of pollution in major cities throughout the developing and developed world, suggesting that these types of effects are likely to apply broadly. When decomposing these effects, we find that the decreases in productivity are explained by increases in time spent on breaks rather than the duration of phone calls. To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that the negative impacts of pollution on productivity extend beyond physically demanding tasks to indoor, white-collar work.

According to our preferred estimate, about 18% of the increase in TFP from 1950 to 1990 is caused by declining religiosity. In order to explain this phenomenon, we integrate into standard R&D-based growth theory a micro-foundation of individual cognitive style, which is either intuitive-believing or reflective-analytical. Under the assumption that R&D productivity is positively influenced by a reflectiveanalytical cognitive style, we find that secularization leads to an increasing labor share in R&D and gradually increasing productivity growth. We use these insights to reflect on trends in religiosity and R&D-based growth in the very long run, from Enlightenment to the present day.

This decrease boosted Mexico's trade competitiveness, particularly in the manufacturing sector. However, Mexico's increasing competitiveness masks one of the country's fundamental concerns, which is the absence of productivity improvements. The aim of this paper is two-fold: first, we examine the evolution of total factor productivity in Mexico's manufacturing sector, as compared to China's. Firm-level data is employed to analyse the distribution and characteristics of productivity across Mexico's regions. Second, using regional data for the period 2005–2012, we study the policy impediments behind sluggish productivity improvements, particularly to determine how labour informality may have contributed. The study takes advantage of Mexico's heterogeneity across regions in terms of productivity, market regulation, financial constraints and firm size to identify economic policies that can help to boost productivity in the future. Le Mexique en phase de devenir la nouvelle Chine ? : Déterminants institutionnels de la compétitivité et de la productivité Au cours de la dernière décennie, les coûts unitaires du travail du Mexique ont diminué par rapport aux autres économies émergentes, en particulier par rapport à la Chine. Cette baisse a stimulé la compétitivité commerciale du Mexique, essentiellement dans le secteur manufacturier. Cependant, l'amélioration de la compétitivité semble masquer le principal problème mexicain, à savoir que cette dernière n'est pas accompagnée d'augmentation de la productivité. L'objectif de cet article est double: d'abord, nous examinons l'évolution de la productivité totale des facteurs dans le secteur manufacturier du Mexique, en comparaison avec la Chine. Les données utilisées sont recueillies au niveau des firmes, afin de pouvoir analyser la répartition et les caractéristiques de la productivité à travers les régions mexicaines. Deuxièmement, en utilisant les données régionales pour la période 2005–2012, nous étudions les obstacles politiques qui ont conduit à une stagnation de la productivité, en particulier pour déterminer dans quelle mesure l'informalité du travail pourrait y avoir contribué. Afin d'identifier les politiques économiques susceptibles de stimuler la productivité dans l'avenir, l'étude tire parti de l'hétérogénéité régionale en termes de productivité, du cadre réglementaire, des contraintes financières et de la taille des entreprises.

This paper uses a Computable General Equilibrium model with a disaggregated agricultural sector to analyse the impact of a drought on the Ugandan economy. The losses were assessed with respect to GDP, agricultural output, employment, the trade balance and household consumption. The drought effects were shown to vary by sector. The fall in employment within the agricultural industries was less compared to the output losses. At a macro level, exports declined, while at a household level, the terms of trade gains mitigated part of the potential welfare losses thereby reducing consumption, but to a lesser degree. The findings indicate that a drought can cause substantial losses to the economy. The need for targeted interventions to mitigate such drought impacts is therefore critical.

These frontiers are estimated from the performance of all firms in the industry and, thus, capture best-practice performance that is, unlike Tobin's q ratio, independent of the managerial decisions of any particular firm. Using the frontier measure of performance applied to 2007 data on top-tier, publicly traded U. S. bank holding companies, we obtain evidence on market discipline: we find that higher managerial ownership at most banks tends to align the interests of insiders with those of outside owners and to be associated with improved financial performance; at most banks, higher blockholder ownership is associated with improved financial performance obtained from blockholders' monitoring; and, at most banks, higher product-market concentration is associated with poorer financial performance and the so-called managerial quiet life. Using the frontier measure of investment opportunities, we find evidence that banks with relatively higher-valued investment opportunities achieve less of their potential market value, while banks with lower-valued opportunities achieve more of their potential value. In spite of their lower-valued opportunities, these banks, on average, achieve the same Tobin's q ratio and, thus, appear better able to exploit their less valuable investment opportunities. Our results suggest that higher-valued opportunities may reduce managers' performance pressure and provide a stronger incentive to consume agency goods. Joseph P. Hughes Loretta J.

The issue is addressed following the channel output decomposition approach by means of which the effect of immigration is measured with respect to per capita value added and its components. The investigation is carried out at sector level during the 2008–2011 time period. The results show that the main channel through which migration impacts on value added varies on sectoral basis. While at aggregate level, in Manufacturing and in Other Services the impact goes mainly through capital intensity, in the Construction and in the Commerce sectors the principal channel is via total factor productivity.

In this paper we try to test the differences in technology and in the level of economy of scale existing among the Italian fleet segments on the basis of the estimation of a translog Cost function (among others Pascoe, 2007; Eggert and Tveteras, 2007). It permits to measure the elasticity of substitution among factors, to assess if it is constant or not and also to estimate the level of economies of scale. The model was applied on a dataset of around 900 vessels; these vessels are part of the sample used within the Italian National Program under the Data Collection Framework to estimate the economic variables of the Italian fishing fleets. The sampling is of a stratified nature in that the fishing vessels of the fleet are divided into homogenous groups (fleet segment and maritime regions) Independent samples are taken from each of these clusters through a Probability Proportional to Size (PPS). The estimate of the value of capital invested in the sector derives from the application of the PIM methodology (Perpetual Inventory Method). The model was applied to the following two segments: trawlers and artisanal vessels. The results of the study mainly attest the existence of economy of scale in both 2 fleet segments.

Product Description:
They may or may not steal yer heart, but on their fourth album, the Briefs do continue to sound as if they might have stolen your uncle's record collection. They make no bones about their influences: within any randomly selected two-minute snippet you'll hear the Buzzcocks, the Undertones, the Adverts, maybe even some Stiff Little Fingers. The fake British accents (these guys are from Seattle) can be taken as a matter of course, and so can the period-appropriate 28-minute album length (though it would be easier to accept if it came with a period-appropriate album price: if memory serves, an Undertones LP went for about $7.29 new). But all caveats and qualifications notwithstanding, there's no denying the genuine trashy pleasures to be found on this album, in particular the Ramones-go-Oi! thrasher "My Girl (Wants to Be a Zombie)," the slightly icky cougar-hunting anthem "Forty and Above," and the spastically brilliant "Criminal Youth." Very nice. ~ Rick Anderson

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
1. capacity--approximate interior height from bottom rack position=3", width=11", and depth=8 to 8.5" (depending on whether use top or bottom rack position)
2. two rack positions for easy placement to top heating element
3. easy to use crumb tray, slides out like a drawer from the front for easy cleaning
4. timer works for all settings, including toast
5. bake drip pan included
6. temperatures marked in Celsius and Fahrenheit
7. good owner's manual
1. does not shut off when door is open
2. dial markings are medium gray on black and small, I have to put my reading glasses on to see them (my toaster oven has a black body as pictured)
3. timer is stiff and hard to turn back towards zero for toast--need my glasses to do this correctly too
4. other than the plug, the only thing that controls whether the unit is on or off is the timer which has a stay on position--potential fire hazard. This more than any other reason is why I only rated it a 3.
Notes and suggestion:
1. three prong plug
2. leave unplugged when not in use
3. clean crumb/drip tray after each use
*****Update*****It worked well for 2 years of almost daily use (sometimes multiple times a day). The top heating element stopped working yesterday so, toasting became a 2 step process. Overall it worked well for what we needed. Some reviews complained of it being too small to hold 4 slices but, as long as you are using normal size bread, it WILL hold 4 slices of bread or 2 full-size bagels. Both are tight but they do fit. It will also hold and cook a Totinos pizza perfectly fine. We never had any issues with the controls either. It preheated quickly and the timer worked well. We originally paid $40 for this toaster oven and now, at half that price, We've ordered it again. If the next one lasts another 2 years, I'll be happy.
I have only two complaints:
1) As other reviewers have said, the power cord is very short--no more than half the length of a normal small-appliance power cord. They say it's for safety, so that you have don't a long cord lying around to get caught on things. Instead, I strongly suspect that a lot of people will need to use extension cords, which is less safe.
2) The grilling situation is odd. In most toaster ovens, either the included baking pan doubles as a grill pan or there's a separate little wire rack that fits into the baking pan for grilling. In this one, the oven rack is also the grilling rack; the baking pan fits onto brackets on the bottom of the rack to act as a drip-pan. It's ingenious, but it makes it a lot harder to put food in and take it out when grilling. Instead of taking the pan over to the table, you have to work straight from the front of the oven. It also means that the baking/drip pan isn't the full width of the oven; it has to be narrower to fit on the brackets.
Neither of those are huge problems, but they kept me from giving it five stars.

If you're an IT manager calling your internal VMware or other virtualization farm a "Private Cloud" in an attempt to prove to your leadership that "public cloud is insecure" or "I built the same thing as Amazon Web Services (AWS)", you need to get ready for a dose of reality in the coming year.
Server-huggers beware, you might have been able to get away with it until now, but 2013 will mark a turning point in which the term Private Cloud will be permanently exposed for what it is... a capital intensive, server stacking, virtualization game.
Just because you might have flexibility to decide how much RAM you can assign to a VM, doesn't give you the right to "cloud-wash" your internal IT operation and call it something that it's not... because although it may be Private (can someone tell me again why it's important to be able to touch your servers?), it's certainly not Cloud.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Just as Jerry Seinfeld so famously quoted... I'm not saying there is anything wrong with running an IT shop where you still spend lump sums of capital (CapEx) for physical resources, especially if you are working to make those resources flexible and reliable by optimizing your data center, using virtualizing, and invoking best practices like continuous monitoring and agile development.
Just don't use the word "Cloud" because your business users and C-level leadership are getting smarter every day on the incredible economic advantages, real security story, and global scalability benefits of public cloud.
In short, selling them a story like "my private cloud is the same as AWS, but more secure because it's on-premise" is going to begin to look childish. And worse, it will discount the credibility of the (probably pretty good and still very useful) internal IT environment that you've worked so hard to build.
If you physically touched it, estimated your peak demand before buying, and/or don't have a re-occurring OpEx fee... IT'S NOT CLOUD.
Tightening definitions
The definition of "Cloud" will also further tighten in 2013, where it will be reserved only for systems that allow you to:
• transform your IT into only operational expenditures (OpEx)
• go global in minutes
• never have to guess your initial or future capacity
Despite all the marketing from old guard IT and large virtualization software companies that claim building your own Cloud is the best way to go, your Private Cloud still:
• is a large capital expense (CapEx)
• rarely allows even the largest installs to go global in minutes
• makes you commit to a upfront minimum and requires you to predict future capacity
In his recent keynote at Amazon Web Services Re:Invent conference, SVP Andy Jassy put it in the best perspective I've heard yet, giving these six simple items that differentiate the burden of private, from value of public. You can watch his keynote on Youtube here. Check out around minute 32 for the best Private Cloud bashing.
It's okay, just try a little bit... it won't hurt you.
Remember those drug prevention classes in middle school (was it called D.A.R.E. everywhere or was that just an Ohio thing?) where the police officers would come and tell you the dangers of drugs and how they get you hooked by getting you to just try a little bit?
"Don't even do it once," they would say, "Because if you try it once, you'll be hooked for life!"
Well, it seems the private cloud loving internal IT folks were all sitting in the front row during those officer presentations, because they took this advice a little too seriously and have applied it to public cloud adoption too.
"The best thing about public cloud is it's cheaper to fail than belabor conversations about whether to try it or not." - Me
Internal IT will remain greatly relevant
Don't worry internal IT, you'll still be greatly needed by your company in 2013 and well beyond because there absolutely is a place for flexible, private infrastructure in today's IT.
Organizations that have invested millions in capital on IT hardware, software, networking, and human resources would be completely insane to throw it all away today and move everything to public cloud tomorrow; however, in the same breath, I would also call these organizations insane to keep piling investment into more private resources given the extreme economic, scalability, and functionality advantages of public cloud.
Over the coming years, even very large internal IT groups, simply won't be able to keep up with the rate of innovation, security, and scale that public cloud operations will achieve.
Internal IT will also face tough competition from rogue business users going outside of their internal IT to get what they need from public cloud with something as simple as a credit card swipe. Of course, internal IT may think the best weapon against this is a strict lock-down policy where business users get punished for going rouge; but, a moratorium on public cloud only hampers corporate innovation and creates animosity between the teams. I suggest there is another answer for internal IT... Embrace, broker, and support.
Although easier said than executed correctly, cloud brokering both public and private IT services, while supporting business users on both,will be the key function for internal IT groups staying relevant to the business and even thriving in 2013 and beyond.Disclaimer: These predictions are based on the fact that world does not end on December 21, 2012 as the Mayan calendar predicts. If we never reach 2013, I reserve all rights to drastically modify these predictions.

RATINGS: 428 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.82/5 SEASONAL: Series EST. CALORIES: 165 ABV: 5.5%
A few times a year, we will cut Dan loose to brew whatever he chooses, uncensored, uncut, unplugged. Always handcrafted, this beer is brewed for the adventurous soul. This is a very limited edition and we make no promises to ever brew this style again. A complex and intriguing original. The mystery began with wild yeast spontaneously fermenting a rich treasure of malted barley and cherries. Unlined Oak casks breathe deep vanilla hues and chords of smoke into this sour brown ale. Our Master Brewer has forged a smooth garnet tapestry that defies description. Wander off the beaten path.
2006 vintage - 7%
2010 vintage - 5.5% (separate entry)
You can tell the vintages apart as the 2010 bottles have the © symbol to the left of the UNPLUGGED banner while the 2006 does not.

Taurus 20 Apr - 20 May
While the Sun's departure from your communication sector today means the communication gods are no longer actively engaged, there is still some exceptional support for friendship and relationship building. This comes as there is a new sense or romantic confidence and anticipation in the air. All the love and relationship gods require from you is a commitment to keeping the communication lines open yourself.
There is a new sense of anticipation in the air with lucky Jupiter in his final seven weeks in your romantic sector and support to make these final weeks count now just days away. This is the point where there is a need to double check your attitude, for while you have entered some of the luckiest weeks of 2016 for love and romance, you'll only receive what you expect to receive.
(Yesterday's love Forecast)
The Sun's departure from your communication sector yesterday brought all the planetary activity for the year to a close and until Mercury, planet of communication returns to your relationship sector later in the year, leaves your relationships without a voice. However, having worked together over the last six months you should have learned all the tricks of the trade, able to work yourself to keep the communication lines open.

FEMA reps will be at town hall meeting
Meeting takes place on April 15 at 6 p.m.
April 11, 2013 at 8:36 am | Mobile Reader | Print
Representatives from several federal legislators will also be in attendance. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on April 15 at the Hahnville High School auditorium.
Confirmed attendees so far include representation from the offices of Sen. Mary Landrieu, Sen. David Vitter, Congressman Cedric Richmond, Congressman Bill Cassidy and Louisiana state Sen. Gary Smith. Parish President V.J. St. Pierre and members of the St. Charles Parish Council will lead the meeting.
Residents will not be allowed to have an open dialogue with the officials in attendance. Instead, they will fill out a card before the meeting with any question they have and officials will group similar questions together and answer them at the end of the meeting.
While attendees will be able to submit general issue-related questions for the panel before the meeting, residents may also submit questions online ahead of time using the form located at www.scpfloodmaps.com. Any questions about individual property issues will be forwarded to the appropriate agency and answered outside of the town hall format, according to parish spokeswoman Renee Simpson.
The new maps released by FEMA could drastically increase insurance rates for many on the West Bank. At a recent FEMA open house, some residents in Bayou Gauche were told their rates could increase to nearly $20,000 a year.
The introduction of the FEMA maps also coincides with the expiration of grandfathered rates contained in the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012.
At the meeting, residents will be presented with information relating to map impacts, the adoption process and short and long term action items being taken by local, state and federal officials and agencies.
The meeting will begin with a welcome and introduction of elected officials and agency representatives followed by an overview and history of the flood insurance rate maps and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Presentations will discuss map adoption options, NFIP options and federal response to the Biggert-Waters Act. The presentations will conclude with a long-term outlook on the West Bank levee system, map appeal and elevation assistance.
Residents can visit www.scpfloodmaps.com to find a downloadable action sheet they can use to learn about the flood map issue, along with parish actions and steps they can take to make their opinions known. Detailed flood map information is available for St. Charles Parish residents at www.riskmap6.com.

Dixons to create pleasure palaces for women
Electrical retailer Dixons is to turn some of its high street shops into pleasure palaces for women.
The high street multiple is planning in-store events for women and better information that explains product benefits rather than listing product specifications.
Research by the high street retailer showed that men were far more likely to consider Dixons for technology related purchases than women.
Last year, Dixons slimmed down its high street chain, closing a third of its branches.
Dixons is not the only company trying to overcome gender stereotypes. Boots has successfully attracted men into its beauty departments to buy cosmetics and Argos has just started describing irons as turbo, precision and ultimate control in the hope of making ironing more mascline.

San Bernardino, Calif.-based Omnitrans will unveil its new logo, slogan and fleet graphics to the public on August 15.The new logo and color scheme replace the current design developed in 1985 and will be just the third logo and branding used by the transit agency in its 36-year history.The agency's New Flyer Xcelsior 2012 40-foot transit buses will feature bold new graphics. Twenty of the new buses are going into service this summer and fall to replace retiring models. The remaining 144 buses in the Omnitrans fleet will get a simplified color refresh, illustrated by a travel training bus debuting at the event. The travel training bus, equipped with video displays and a public address system, will begin hitting the road for live how-to-ride demonstrations this fall.New buses feature three-bike racks, an upgrade from the two-bike capacity racks on the existing fleet. "Our customers have asked for three-bike racks to keep up with demand," said CEO/GM Milo Victoria. Omnitrans transports over 300,000 bikes each year.The agency will give away a new bike to the winner of a "Rack and Roll" contest, designed to show off the new bike racks. Contestants, selected from those present, will be timed loading a bike on to the rack. A VIP competition will feature local elected officials loading bicycles.Omnitrans also will unveil its updated agency mascot, Buster, and a retooled agency website. Refreshments and new logo items are provided for all attendees.
Of the 20 people injured, none were considered serious and 13 were transported by New York City EMS to hospitals.
Riders using a desktop computer, smart phone device or traditional telephone can schedule their pick-up and desired drop-off locations: reducing their wait time, arriving at their destination faster, and increasing the overall rider experience.
The advanced Driver Assist System, utilizing a licensed GPS technology developed by the University of Minnesota, provides feedback to the driver regarding lane position – via graphic driver alert displays, virtual mirror, vibrating seat and actuated steering.
In an overall business review, it was determined this division no longer fit in ABC's overall growth strategy. The company will continue to provide parts and warranty support for Ameritrans products.
Planners estimate the new, 11-mile Tysons Corner to Alexandria bus system would attract about 8,600 new transit riders per day.
