I brought a group up here today for a work trip, and I was pleasantly surprised!
It's a very neat building from the 1500s, first used as an open building for Henry VIII to go hunting from (they apparently corralled deer in for him to shoot with his bow and arrow from a chair in the building). Queen Elizabeth then closed it in and made it into the building it is today.
The building is...more
I visited the Hunting Lodge this weekend as we decided to walk our dog in the area. I was not aware of this despite living in the general vicinity of this for some years! How have I missed this wonderful piece of history?
The property is very well maintained and free to enter.
At the moment there is a exhibition about the murdering of suspected witches and witch-hunts in the area in times...more
Situated just before the Essex borders and in the town where i live,The hunting lodge is a simple but somwhat spellbounding 16th century building which Queen Elizabeth used to stay while hunting in and around Epping forest. There seems to be the smell of salted meat and mead in the air,which is quite clever,and smells quite nice,which is change from places such as the london dungeons,where you...more
This is a Tudor hunting stand, built for King Henry VIII (the staircase is so wide as he had to be carried up it) so he could watch the hunting in the forest and shoot the odd arrow. Later the sides were covered and it became the building that we see now. It was massively and quite erroneously 'restored' by Victorians, who turned it into a black and white striped chocolate box picture. These...more

Diphenylhydantoin has been widely used as an anticonvulsant since its introduction by Merritt and Putnam 1 in 1938. While the drug is well tolerated by the majority of patients, it can produce a great variety of toxic and allergic reactions.2 During the first several weeks of therapy, a skin rash occurs in about 5% of patients.3 Usually this eruption is erythematous or morbilliform, is not accompanied by systemic symptoms, and does not necessitate permanent discontinuation of therapy. Occasionally, however, a more severe reaction occurs, with a pleomorphic, often exfoliative rash and high fever; hepatitis may be an associated finding.
To our knowledge, the patient described here is the tenth patient reported to have had acute hepatitis accompanying the diphenylhydantoin reaction of fever and skin rash.

May 12, 2006 | GlaxoSmithKline's head of genetics research, Allen Roses, says that pharmacogenetics is having a profound impact on the stratifying of patients, the minimization of adverse events, and the expedited passage of drug candidates through clinical trials.
"I want to attack the notion that personal medicine is years away," Roses said.
The centerpiece of GSK's efforts in finding genetic disease associations is "HitDIP" — the high-throughput human-disease-specific target program. This approach centers on "tractable genes" — a group of 1,800 well-characterized drug target genes, using 7,000 SNPs. Over the past eight years, GSK has collected highly phenotyped patient collections with informed consent and IRB approval, for common diseases including diabetes, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, coronary artery disease, obesity, and a dozen more.
Last year, GSK initiated full genome analysis with Affymetrix 500K SNP chips. Those data will be compared to the HitDIP screening data and duly published, beginning with data on Alzheimer's disease and obesity. Roses said they will be publicly available on either GSK's or an NIH Web site.
While pharmacogenomics plays an increasing role in discovery research, Roses said, "the clinical pipeline is where the rubber hits the road." A classic example was a restenosis trial called PRESTO, involving more than 11,000 patients, 4 percent of whom developed hyperbilirubinemia. During the Phase III trial, Roses' team performed an association study focusing on genes associated with liver function. When the study was unblinded, only individuals homozygous for a specific gene variant who had received the drug developed the side effect.
The problem was not observed during the smaller Phase II study, raising the key question: How few patients does it take to recognize a SNP profile related to an adverse event during drug development? Roses said safety SNP profiles could be identified with as few as 10-20 adverse event cases. If you look at a pair of susceptibility genes, the number of cases is even smaller.
A more recent example involves patients taking the highly touted Tykerb, an oral medication for breast cancer that could compete with Herceptin. Fifteen percent of patients reported unpleasant side effects, including diarrhea and rash. An analysis of densely mapped SNPs in cytochrome P450 metabolizing genes revealed a strong association between the side effects and variants in CYP2C19. Only patients homozygous for the *2 allele experienced side effects.
The upshot is that patients identified as having high risk of side effects can be prescribed lower doses. "We don't have to poison them with 10 times [the level of] the drug they don't need," said Roses. "The moderate side effects are predictable at onset of therapy, and can allow adjustment of dose." Enrollment in the Phase III trial for Tykerb was halted last week following positive results. "That's what pharmacogenomics can do," said Roses.
Pharmacogenomics can also guide Phase II efficacy. In an obesity study, GSK typed obesity candidate genes in 80 patients in a weight-loss program. Polymorphisms in three genes were found to correlate with weight-loss effectiveness.
Prospective EfficacyRoses also presented data showing the impact of pharmacogenomics in early drug development. He described data from a European Phase II trial for Alzheimer's disease using Rosiglitazone (a drug approved for diabetes). The study, involving 511 Alzheimer's patients, addressed the question: "Do patients without APOE4 allele respond differently than those who carry APOE4?" By separating patients with and without the E4 variant, the data showed that Alzheimer's patients without the E4 allele respond better to Rosiglitazone.
"For the first time in history, nonresponders were identified for follow-up with follow-on candidate molecules," said Roses. He added: "We've taken a failed study and, with FDA involvement, initiated a Phase III program for a drug that has a clinical effect on Alzheimer's disease. Why haven't you read about this [in the press] yet? Rosiglitazone is available on the market, and we want to scrupulously avoid presenting this in the wrong context — it should not be used for Alzheimer's disease yet."
Roses also touted GSK's "druggable genome" RNAi screening laboratory — a fully automated laboratory to screen 18,000 genes. "There is no capability commercially available in 2006. We've got lots of cell lines and want to find what genes may tell us...what targets we should be going after. It's not what if, it's done."
One application of RNAi screening has shown that knocking down estrogen receptor levels in cancer cell lines renders the lines susceptible to a specific drug. This led to the design of a new breast cancer trial in which patients receive a different drug regimen depending on their level of estrogen receptor activity. "The next time you read an analyst's report that says genetics has no impact on drug discovery, it's 20 years away, read another analyst!" Roses quipped.
I agree with Dr Roses assessment of the potential of pharmacogenomics however I think SNPs are just one part of the equation. I have helped develop a technology (www.dynemobiosystems.com) that can measure the dynamics of protein interactions to stratify patients. This technology does not suffer from the same issues as SNP analysis since we are looking at the biochemical pathways that are the front line of cells/tumours/tissues mitigating drug response.

Unexpected good news will likely please you greatly today. You may be surprised to hear that you are in line for a promotion at work or that a loved one has been the recipient of a financial windfall. The amazing announcement that comes to you via the grapevine may be emotional in nature, such as the coming together of two important people in your life. Because you will likely be caught off guard by this happy news, you may not know how to respond. However, collecting your thoughts can be as easy as taking a moment to determine what you are really feeling. If you allow yourself time to adjust today, your reaction to bombshells will likely be uniformly positive.
The pleasure of life's little surprises lies in their ability to catch us off guard and to remind us that there are many blessings still to come. When we are surprised, the unexpected joy we feel acts as a potent antidote to the daily grind and encourages us to remember that we cannot always predict what is lying in wait for us. Our expectations of the future are thus indelibly changed, as we understand that even our grimmest prophetic visions may be interrupted by positive circumstances at any time. Conversely, we are motivated by this notion to strive for excellence in every aspect of our lives because we also know that we are equipped to influence fate in our favor. The pleasant surprises that come into your life today will lift your spirits and add a spot of joy to your experience.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Baseball Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett was charged Friday with dragging a woman into a restaurant bathroom last month and grabbing her breast.
The woman had bruises, and her ankle was swollen from hitting a door frame, according to the criminal complaint, which cited several witnesses.
The former Minnesota Twins star was charged with a felony count of false imprisonment and a gross misdemeanor count of criminal sexual conduct.
If convicted, the 41-year-old Puckett probably would be put on probation and given less than a year in the county workhouse, according to County Attorney Amy Klobuchar. She said it's unlikely he would be sentenced to the legal maximum of four years in prison and $8,000 in fines.
"The only reason Kirby Puckett was charged today is because he is a famous person," said Chris Madel, one of Puckett's attorneys. "If this were anybody else, this case would have never seen the light of day. We will meet and we will beat these allegations in court."
Klobuchar strongly denied that Puckett is being treated differently from anyone else, and said as far as she's concerned, he was just a guy in a bar who broke the law.
"I do think that it will be a challenging trial because many jurors will know Mr. Puckett," she added. "In the end, we have faith that the Minnesota jury will be fair and base a decision on the facts and on the evidence, and not on who he is."
According to the complaint, the victim was waiting to use the women's restroom at the restaurant in Eden Prairie, Minn., on Sept. 6 when Puckett grabbed her by the arm and dragged her into the men's room. She told police that Puckett pushed her into a stall and put his hand on one of her breasts for several seconds. She said that after a friend of hers yelled into the restroom, Puckett let her go.

- - the best all mountain board??? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/51139-best-all-mountain-board.html)
the best all mountain board???
Hi, I desperately need advise. I'm looking for a new board, I want something that can handle speed, jump and jib. Something that isn't too stiff so I can butter up a lil and ideally a twin.
I've narrowed it down to:
Never summer proto ct (not so great in powder but solid)
Burton antler (lacking on edge hold but a good jumping stick)
Battalion evil twin (not so good in pow but good all rounder)
Lib tech t rice (not a jibby board and a lil stiff but a speedy jumpy board)
I'm open to any other suggestions or any first hand knowledge on any of the above. There's not much info on the antler but from what I've read it appears the edge hold is lacking. Anyone know any different? I've got a lot of my info from thegoodride.com
Please help. I can't decide!!
I'm 5'10, 154lbs size 11 boot.
Cheers people.
not sure how you can say the antler is lacking in edge hold. Are you referring to one with no edges?:laugh:
There are seriously a million boards are there that would fit your criteria. Just off the top of my head, have you considered:
cambered Process, or Parkitect?
Smokin superpark, mip or one of the team/pro models?
After that... if you still can't decide... well that's because you are an indecisive person... and no amount of forum-therapy is going to fix that :dunno:
I'm 5'9" 150 lbs and I own the Proto CT 154, it will do what you are looking for (not the only board). If you really can't decide BUY THAT... (and send me $20 for consultation fees ).
Update: Hey... you don't happen to be 13 years old ("Leo13") are you? That would explain a lot.
Like I say I'm only going on what I've read. The antler gets a low score on edge hold and rails&jibbing. have you tried one? What do you think of it? I''ll look up your other suggestions. Thanks
where are you seeing a low score? on thegoodride?? That place sucks. They haven't even ridden that board - they're just 'reviewing' it based on the specs.
The antler is new this year and so unless someone is sponsored, the most anyone has ridden it is at demos.
If I remember correctly the antler is a soft park board with high end construction.
but seriously, I vote for the Smokin boards. Crazy pop and great warranties, made in USA by snowboarders. If you get one of the Kyle Clancy boards, he makes it for you himself I think!
Thanks lonerider. I am indecisive. I know ! I'm just after first hand points of view on my short list. I am leaning toward the proto. How well, in your humble opinion, does the proto ride in the powder. Cheque is in the post.
Taking that into account, I would say the Proto was ok in powder... I never felt like I was going to submarine super hard into deep snow and get really stuck. I was able to turn and float so long as I leaned back on tail heavily. If you are riding less than 2 feet of powder with a decent steepness, it should be fine.
Where in Canada do you live? (You said "cheque is in the post", so you are from a British Commonwealth country such as Canada, Britain, or Australia)
Good call on the superpark. Seems like a good allrounder with good wright ups. My shortlist is getting longer lol. Thanks supra. I''ll do some more research.
If I could afford a dedicated powder board I really would. I'm from the UK and currently in whistler.
if you're in whistler, check out the burton sherlock too. I know a couple of guys there who find it perfect. A freestyle twin with flying v hybrid camber that is optimized for floating in pow.
I have sold off my fish, malolo, charlie slasher and just ride pow with the sherlock now

Arrogant and rude to Patients and Family members. Does not disclose all needed information.
Dr. Croissant did surgery on me and I am much worse now than I was before he did surgery on me. That is all I have to say, But.....I suggest that you find a different surgeon.
My experience with Dr. Croissant is not good. He is very unprofessional. Dr. Croissant does not have the knowledge of modern day technology. Dr. Croissant really should retire, he is unable to use a computer without assistance. I am worse off now than before he ever performed surgery on me. My back is in very bad condition after his work
Doctor Croissant is tooo old to be doing surgery on anyone. I had a very bad experience with him. I have loose hardware, ect, my outcome of this surgery is much worse now than before surgery. I honestly think he should retire before he hurts anyone else. I need another surgery to fix all of his mistakes.
Very Unhappy.........Broken Screw Dr. Croissant did a fusion on me, L4,L5,S1, My fusion did not fuse as I have loose hardware and broken screws. My follow up appointments he assured me everything looked good, he continued to order MRI and CScans never able to explain anything. Every appointment that I went back he was unable to understand or explain anything. He looked at MRI and CScans and he left the room acting Very Rude to me. I was in pain after the surgery, worse than before. I found a very good surgeon(2) and they both immediately told me that I had loose hardware and broken screw, looking at the exact same CDs Dr. Croissant had been looking at for over 1 year. I need another surgery to fix my results from the surgery from Dr. Croissant.
I can describe my experience with Dr. Croissant as nothing less than degrading and humiliating. Dr. Crossiant was abusive and belligerent. He refused to look at my MRI, then informed me he was not interested in treating me. I was heartbroken. I have been very ill with spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease resulting from an injury to my spine. I was told he was "the best in the field" and referred by my family doctor. I implore you to find help elsewhere. He is unkind and unprofessional. I can only assume that his surgical work is lacking and would never recommend treatment from this man. Stay away.
Dr. Croussaint was very rude to me also, he treated me the same as most of his patients, I was wasting his time being there. I threated him that I was going to get a lawyer. His surgery on me was unsuccesful which i realize does happen sometimes. but after the surgery I was in the hospital screaming with extreme pain, All he would say is that I shouldn't be in that kind of pain. Bull sh.... I was in extreme pain, and he just left me there that way. When I went on follow up visit he didn't even care to see me. I don't recommend him to anyone. 1 year later my back is worse than ever, but he tells me that there is nothing left to do. I am at a pain specialist that disagrees with his opinion., he had me on so many medications its crazy. I have read many complaints on how he treats his patients. go somewhere eles.
Dr Croissant recently diagnosed two herniated discs and I was scheduled to have ACDF surgery 8 days later. I am almost 3 weeks post op, very satisfied and very confident in Dr Croissant's work. My primary physician referred me & told me I was in very capable hands. As far as bedside manner, I found Dr Croissant to be brief and to the point but I am not a needy patient who wants to take unnecessary time from a doctor. He answered any questions that I had & I liked him from the first meeting. I recommend this surgery as well as Dr Croissant.
i have had 4 surgery with him,and all has been good. he gave me back a qualty of life that was lost after my accedents. and i thank him for that,
Dr Croissant is an excellent Doctor with many years experience. If you want good results from your surgery, I would call him.
Two ruptured disc's ten years ago. Surgery by Dr. Croissant and my back is still strong and I have no pain!
30 years ago, Dr. Croissant outdid even his high expectations. He told me after a long and difficult surgery that I was not supposed to walk normally again after an aneurysm burst. I have a full and useful life with effects that only a physician could notice. He also did 2 very successful surgeries on my ex-husbands back (L-4, L-5). He is not the best at bedside manners, but do you want results or sympathy???
I am a 40 yr old female with herniated discs at c5-c7 and multiple bone spurs. Dr. Croissant was my second opinion from a supposedly top surgeon at Henry Ford Hospital. He discovered they had misdiagnosed the levels of my herniation, listened carefully to my history and symptoms and recommended ACDF surgery. I had it done 4 days later and am feeling great. All previous symptoms gone. My incision is barely visible and the pain post-op was minimal. Ignore the other reviews, I would send anyone in my family to Dr. Croissant. He is outstanding!!!
Dr. Croissant is too old to be doing surgery. My issue was Sciatica. I still have it,and he doesn't have a clue why. He wants to go back in,and explore. He makes it sound like it isn't a big deal to cut into my muscle again. I thought he would have a good bed side manner, considering he has had two back surgeries himself. Wow, was I wrong!
I am probably one of Dr. Croissant's longest running patients. He's been my neurosurgeon all my life. I was diagnosed as a baby with hyrdrocephalus. I'm now 25. I will continue to be a patient of Dr. Croissant's as long as he's in practice. He is without a doubt one of the best doctors and most caring people I have ever met. If you need a neurosurgeon I can't recommend him highly enough.
Had a brief consultation with him seeking a second opinion during which he accused me of being a liar and I was treated like an unwelcome visitor. My visit lasted perhaps five minutes and accomplished nothing.

Spartanburg County deputies said an argument over a missing birthday cake led to assault charges.
Deputies said it started when a woman asked her brother, Gerald Tolleson, about the missing cake.
The woman said she went to Tolleson's tent in her front yard, and asked him about the cake.
She told deputies he said he didn't touch the cake, and she went back inside the house.
The woman said a short time later Tolleson left his tent, and knocked on her door.
According to the woman once she opened the door that's when a physical confrontation began.
Deputies said Tolleson was in an intoxicated state when they arrived.
Tolleson was charged with assault and battery.

Healthcare products travel a complex supply chain involving many steps, numerous middlemen, and substantial fees before reaching patients. This process, filled with redundancies and inefficiencies, is where the cost of healthcare rises and where the potential for deadly stockouts occurs.
Unfortunately, there's also a cost to your patients and your hospital staff when clinicians must spend time locating and replenishing supplies instead of dispensing care.
TECSYS healthcare solutions ensure the right products are in the right place at the right time, freeing up your hospital staff to be caregivers, not stocktakers.
That's good news for both your clinical staff and your patients!
Enjoy real-time warehousing and inventory control from fulfillment to financials.
Free up clinical staff to focus on patient care with an automated, user-friendly Supply Management System for point-of-use locations.
Achieve greater purchasing power by forecasting and managing aggregated demand, and leveraging rebates and discounts through contract compliance.
Perform inventory tracking from the service center, through every step of the hospital, to the patient.
Reduce costs and waste in the perioperative supply chain before, during, and after surgery.
Optimize the supply chain, improve productivity and lower processing costs per item.
Hospitals have specific needs when it comes to requisitioning, forecasting, patient care, warehousing, delivery, and collaboration. Meeting these needs throughout the distribution of healthcare products puts great demands on hospital logistics systems.
TECSYS Consolidated Service Center Management software allows you to operate more effectively with patients, staff, suppliers, and distributors, and add value to your hospitals, while continuing to meet the needs of healthcare users. It is also GS1 Compliant.
See exactly what you have and provide it where it's needed most for improved patient care and reduced over-purchasing of stock.
Automated inventory selection, work planning, pick, pack, and ship instructions guarantee time-efficient requisition fills.
Manage secure locations with complete product movement traceability and expiry date control, ensuring compliance and patient safety.
Today's hospitals face many daily challenges — volatile customer demand, little or no inventory visibility, diverse patient care processes, and complex payment structures, all spanning geographically-dispersed facilities! Meeting these challenges puts great demands on their logistics systems, particularly in point-of-use settings, where clinical staff have to manually manage inventory. The human step in the process is very time-consuming and error-prone, and therefore costly.
Designed and configured for the hospital supply chain, TECSYS' Supply Management System (SMS) directly addresses all of a hospital's global inventory management and point-of-use challenges. SMS is a user-friendly supply chain execution solution that enables hospitals and clinics to become significantly more efficient at point-of-use locations, freeing up clinical staff to focus on patient care.
With SMS, the supply chain process at point-of-use locations is intuitive and completely automated. SMS uses touch-screen technology to facilitate ease-of-access to information with the least amount of intervention. Products are captured via bar codes and stored in the TECSYS system, enabling purchasing organizations to track usage, re-order to minimums and plan the demand accordingly.
In addition to providing global visibility into inventory levels across the entire health system, SMS allows the hospital system to analyze the value of those inventories at all locations. Without TECSYS' SMS, the inventory value would be expensed the moment the asset leaves the hospital distribution center.
TECSYS' SMS offers a variety of checkout methods, all supporting various needs and circumstances: wireless RF bar code reader, handheld RF or docking reader, voice feedback or touch screen entry capabilities.
As hospitals search for ways to reduce costs and improve the quality of their patient care, identifying efficient methods of managing their supply chains has become a major focus for them.
The increasing demand for improved healthcare services has also highlighted the urgent need for hospitals to exchange timely information with pharmaceutical and medical/surgical distributors and manufacturers. Knowing what products you will need, and when you will need them, is critical to your health system. It is also critical for your partners, staff, patients and suppliers alike.
The only way for hospital networks to deliver this kind of efficiency is with advanced demand planning and procurement capabilities from TECSYS. By forecasting and managing aggregated demand, or by leveraging rebates and discounts through contract compliance, TECSYS Planning & Procurement software unlocks the door to greater purchasing power and more intelligent decision making.
As health systems and hospitals are being forced to do more with less, there's a growing realization that their local supply chains have a problem — it costs way too much to move goods between hospitals, clinics and service centers and there is little or no control over their movements! The trouble is, it's very hard to know where to focus your improvement efforts when you don't know where all the opportunities for savings are.
TECSYS TMS for Healthcare brings together the best practices of world class couriers to manage local supply chains specifically for health systems, and help them drive down transportation costs with a single, centralized, easy-to-use transportation management system. TMS for Healthcare suits healthcare courier operations of any volume or complexity and requires almost no driver training. Its capabilities can be adopted progressively which allows health systems to build towards a world-class healthcare courier operation at their own pace.
Drivers get all the vital information they need to ensure their handling conforms to hospital best-practices and government regulatory requirements for each special type of item shipped. This means your critical patient specimens, sensitive patient records or controlled drugs with sealed delivery containers are properly managed throughout the entire transportation process.
Without tracking there can be no accountability! From pick up to drop off, everything that happens to your shipments is recorded and tracked through signature or employee badge proof-of-activity. With this kind of real-time mobile traceability, you have hard statistics to prove your drivers are doing their jobs, and to measure the true quality of your customer service.
Just like industry-leading couriers, TMS for Healthcare provides your customers a self-service portal with up-to-the-minute tracking status of goods-in-motion.
TMS for Healthcare keeps track of every time an item is touched during delivery. This data feeds operational and tactical dashboards that give your dispatchers the whole picture of their shipment activities. They also act as an overall indicator of the "health" of your local supply chain by giving you a true picture of what's going on within your courier service, and also where to focus to head off potential problems.
TMS for Healthcare eliminates redundancies associated with complex delivery networks through multi-stage, routed deliveries and integrated dynamic dispatching. Dock management features like staging, assisted sorting, cross-docking and loading ensure tight delivery windows are not jeopardized by reduced dock capacity or slowdowns.
Like a well-trained co-pilot, TMS for Healthcare recognizes your courier drivers' priorities. It predicts drivers' next steps and records their activities, provides key information to speed their pick-ups and deliveries, and gathers the critical piece tracking and activity information they need to get a true picture of "what's going on". Using such a smart system leads to 100% scanning compliance because drivers love how it minimizes their workload and helps them stay focused on their jobs.
The perioperative supply chain management challenges before, during, and after surgeries, are enormous and represent the highest cost of inventory in an organization.
Lack of inventory visibility is a common challenge in the healthcare supply chain across the board — but it is exacerbated in the perioperative setting. It is the very nature of this fast-paced clinical area that leaves decision makers wondering exactly how much inventory do they have and exactly where it is?
Unique Process
Legacy approaches do not support the supply chain needs of the perioperative staff, and lead to overstocking and hoarding. Clinical staff are fearful of not having what they need when they need it. Supply chain staff is stressed about meeting patient needs while maintaining optimal operational performance.
Patient Care
Healthcare delivery is especially acute in the OR. The liability of expired or recalled products that may be lingering in storage areas is all too real and very high risk. When upwards of 47% of recalled products are not identified, decision-makers must look for a new solution before they seriously jeopardize patient care.
TECSYS' OR (Operating Room) Inventory Manager is all about visibility, control and efficient operations. It optimizes supply chain processes in the challenging OR environment which translates into reduced costs and less waste while maintaining the inventory levels needed to deliver excellent perioperative services. As a result, TECSYS' OR Inventory Manager restores clinical staff's confidence in the reliability of the perioperative supply chain process, and enables best-in-class performance in support of the delivery of safe patient care.
Leveraging some thirty years of supply chain execution solutions' experience and more than eighteen years in healthcare, TECSYS' OR Inventory Manager was designed specifically for the perioperative environment. It is a breakthrough clinical-staff-friendly supply chain execution solution that responds to the significant challenges of the perioperative supply chain process — before, during and post-surgery.
By deploying a process based on proven best practice with innovative technology that supports the operational improvements, decision makers are able to meet their perioperative supply chain challenges head-on and make the future a reality.
TECSYS' OR Inventory Manager includes TECSYS' patent pending Visual Logistics® technology to provide visual cues and alerts to the supply chain and clinical staff for improved management, visibility and exceptions. It is possible to automate the entire supply chain process. Products are captured via barcodes and stored in the TECSYS system, enabling health system purchasing organizations to track usage, re-order to minimums and plan the demand accordingly.
TECSYS' OR Inventory Manager is the only complete supply chain solution that will transform the perioperative supply chain into service excellence for health systems, improves efficiencies and decision-making throughout the entire preoperative continuum, and improves satisfaction — OR staff devotes their time to medical procedures and patient care, leading to increase in job satisfaction and overall productivity.
In the healthcare provider industry, not all supplies can be treated equally when seeking to optimize the supply chain and reduce per item process costs. For this reason, TECSYS point-of-use solutions are designed with material flows that vary with the value of the item, its traceability needs, and its status in a case-managed environment. This differentiated approach facilitates customization of the supply chain while significantly improving productivity and lowering process costs per item number.
The 2BIN-iD solution automates the replenishment of general supplies. It is unique in that it requires no counting or data entry in the user department and limits user involvement to a minimum. It facilitates inventory turnover and control of inventory levels, and it helps prevent the expiration of products.
The CC-iD data collection and inventory management solution automates the management of items requiring unitary traceability, such as high value or implantable supplies. CC-iD substantially reduces the involvement of clinical staff in this process while enhancing the quality and availability of pertinent information. Not only does it facilitate just-in-time inventory management and reduce on-hand inventory values, it also offers advanced traceability capabilities.
The PC-iD solution simplifies and streamlines patient charging by eliminating manual transcriptions and documentation involved in case costing. Independent of replenishment management, PC-iD enables unitary consumption to be captured and linked to patients, caregivers and procedures. It generates accurate patient billing, improved revenue capture and increased reimbursements. The PC-iD add-on module is designed to address challenges facing the healthcare sector, including quantifiably recovering revenue and sustaining operational efficiency.
The Logi-D suite of solutions is enhanced when combined with its extensive high-density modular storage and distribution platform. Designed specifically for healthcare institutions, this continually evolving system includes a number of features not available in any other system of its kind.
Logi-D offers the ISO-iD brand—a range of the best ISO 40/60 storage solutions sourced internationally. The unique Logi-D storage and distribution equipment offering consists of the top components in the ISO 40/60 standard, sourced from various vendors worldwide to maximize the innovations in individual components. These are brought together as finished products to form the most comprehensive best of breed suite of ISO standard storage solutions available today.
CIRCUIT-iD is designed for the perioperative environment. Driven by procedure preference cards, it was developed to facilitate case picking processes and precisely capture the cost of all items used during normal clinical activities with a minimum of effort. In addition to efficiently maintaining accurate case costing records, CIRCUIT-iD provides dynamic preference card optimization.
At the center of the Logi-D offering is a core middleware application, LogiDATA-iD, which both automates the conversion of accurate data to meaningful information — thereby accelerating demand response decisions — and provides value and a superior overview of the information flow to enable fact based decision making. LogiDATA-iD serves as a common platform for all Logi-D solutions, enabling centralized control of point-of-use supply management and intelligent dashboard analytics for continuous improvement opportunities.
It will revolutionize how business is conducted.
The return on investment is solid. If you are looking for innovation to become a front runner in the industry, then you should look at TECSYS' portfolio of products. I did look and did not find anyone with the same depth and breadth of a superior Warehouse Management System solution as TECSYS.Donna Van Vlerah, Vice President, Supply Chain, Parkview Health

What if you had the chance to live your life again and again, until you finally got it right?
During a snowstorm in England in 1910, a baby is born and dies before she can take her first breath. During a snowstorm in England in 1910, the same baby is born and lives to tell the tale.
What if there were second chances? And third chances? In fact an infinite number of chances to live your life? Would you eventually be able to save the world from its own inevitable destiny? And would you even want to?
Life After Life follows Ursula Todd as she lives through the turbulent events of the last century again and again. With wit and compassion, she finds warmth even in life's bleakest moments, and shows an extraordinary ability to evoke the past. Here is Kate Atkinson at her most profound and inventive, in a novel that celebrates the best and worst of ourselves.
©2013 Kate Atkinson (P)2013 Random House Audiobooks
"A puzzle - is it worth the effort?"
If you could live your life over time and time again, would you/ could you ever get it right? That is the central question of this book. The next question posed is if this ability to relive your life would be a gift or a curse. This is a book of fantasy and historical fiction. It poses philosophical questions concerning how life should be lived.
Atkinson's writing is clever, both the questions she poses and her ironic, satirical, sarcastic and often sardonic humor. Don't expect good-natured laughs based on happiness. It is solely because of the writing that I have chosen three rather than only two stars.
The book is confusing. Not only does the reader jump back and forth in time but also into different versions of the same story, the point being that there is not just one story. The stories overlap at points only to later go off in different directions. The reader must continually figure out if they have been dropped into a different version or a different time period of an earlier version. In addition, many characters are not introduced. When they are first mentioned you have not the slightest idea who they are.
By the end everything is interwoven. Picture a twine of yarn that is split at several points, each strand going off in different directions. The reader hops back and forth to different segments. Is there one "correct" ending? Is there one preferable ending? Is it possible to choose the final destination? Most importantly, what is the message of the book? Was the message worth the confusion? In my view, the answer is no.
I thought the author magnificently described life in London both during the Blitz and after the war. I enjoyed the segment set in Obersalzberg, at Hitler's residence Berghof, near Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, Germany, meeting up with Eva Braun. This IS a book of historical fiction. Events of both WW1 and WW2 are covered.
The audiobook narration by Fenella Woolgar was exemplary. Irish, British, American and French accents are all perfectly executed. I believe the audio version further enhances how people of different cultures "think".
You must keep a paper and pen nearby to jot down the date of the episode you are listening to. In addition, I recommend you read this book quickly; if you read a little each day you are sure to get lost! Good Luck!
"Intriguing and fascinating"
I think this is my absolute favourite Kate Atkinson. What are the pivotal episodes in our lives that alter everything to come? Who can determine the purpose in their own life? An absolute thought provoking narrative.
Excellently performed by Fenella Woolgar
"A mind altering book"
The trick to this book is to stay with it. It is 1910 and snow is falling and life starts. And starts again.Kate Atkinson is simply one of the finest writers today. This book is a literary wonder - earthed by beautiful characters and a solid English country home - and yet delving into the questions of life and time and choice. World War Two vividly evoked. Ethereal and captivating. Don't miss it.
"I REALLY enjoyed this"
It's such a creative story! The characters were so easy to attach to and the reader has such talent for telling the story, not just reading.
It's such a creative story. I can't compare it to anything because I've never read/listened to another story quite like it.
I had not listened to Fenella before but her voice is so fantastic for audio books that I will definately be looking out for more of her books.
This is a hard one. I'm tossing up between Ursula and Izzy. Izzy would be highly entertaining, but Ursula would the character I would be most interested in chatting to.
Thank you to the author for such an entertaining story.
The story draws you in from the very start. Over and over the story is retold and the path of her life is rewritten. It's gentle and sad, uplifting and wistful. I really enjoyed it.
"Hurry up and write a new book please Kate..."
Yes, but I am biased...I love any book by Kate Atkinson.
The bomb scene in the London townhouse when the baby is found...
Audible books come to life with a brilliant narrator...
Silvie - as long as we could have dinner at Fox Corner as I would love to visit that house.
LIke I said, please write another book soon Kate Atkinson.
"Stunning story and performance - Missing it!"
One Day, The Last Letter from Your Lover
No, she's new to me, but I'll be looking into her other performances.
I never wanted to reach my destination in the car and turn it off. I miss it since I finished listening.
I've recommended this to my friends. I just loved it.
Fenella"s extraordinarily gifted talent for narration brought life after life to life again and again
"Superb rendition of life after life"
Brilliantly read - a great way to listen to Kate Atkinson - one of her best books - I loved it!
Long term book junkie only recently addicted to audio books. Now my iPod and I are inseparable.
""Become what you are" meets "Needs must""
Based on the plot summary, I'd have passed over "Life After Life". The idea of being endlessly reborn into the same life sounds too much like the tedium of "Groundhog Day". I've also been avoiding all those World-War-II-Is-Seventy books that want to turn this horrible period of Europe's history into a source of romantic nostalgia.
I bought "Life After Life" because Kate Atkinson wrote it and I've always enjoyed her books.
Even so, I was surprised at just how well written this book is. From the assassination attempt on the first page, the book grabbed my attention and didn't let go. I ended up stealing time so that I could listen to the fourteen hour audiobook over three days. Even then, I wanted it to go on longer.
"Life After Life" follows the many lives of Ursula Todd. They are all the same life, starting on the same day, in the same place, with the same family. The consequences of small differences in circumstances, in decisions made, in meeting kept or missed, ripple through these lives to change them in surprising, and sometimes tragic, ways. Some lives are distressingly short. Some are just distressing. One or two work out reasonably well for Ursula. In all these lives Ursula is Ursula. She has the same abilities and desires but she follows a different path and has to cope with different consequences.
As the lives went on, I became more and more attached to Ursula, wanting the best for her, hoping that her mysterious déja vu would help her avoid the pitfalls of her earlier lives. Slowly, it started to dawn on me that I was missing the point. Each of Ursula's lives is real. None of them is a rehearsal. Her life is not a video game where each replay allows her to get to learn something that will take her to a higher level, her life is an opportunity for her to embrace who she is and do the best she can with what she has. It seemed to me that Kate Atkinson has started with Nietzsche's imperative, "Become who you are" and added a very English middle-class code: "Needs must". Becoming who you are does not free you from the responsibility to do the best you can in the circumstances.
"Life After Life" is much more than a vehicle for a philosophical discussion. The people in it are real. As Ursula's lives pass you learn to care about her family, her friends and the people she works with so that it matters when bad things happen. I found myself in tears many times while reading this book. Kate Atkinson pulls no punches on the bad things that happen and bad things, often the same bad things, happen again and again. The main message seems to be: "Bad things will happen. What choice do you have other than to deal with them?" Or at least, that is the response that consistently makes Ursula, Ursula. Some of the people around constantly seek to avoid the consequences of bad things happening.
One of the main bad things that happens in World War II. There is no nostalgia for plucky Britain, standing alone against the Nazi menace, keeping calm and carrying on. Instead I got the most harrowing descriptions of the Blitz I have ever read. Kate Atkinson manages to convey the scale of the death and destruction, the relentlessness of the bombings, the defenselessness of the people and the personal cost of a "Needs must" approach. I also got to see the impact in Germany and to experience the fear of being in Berlin, knowing that the Russian Army was raping and murdering its way towards you.
The language, both dialogue and description, perfectly evokes the time, place and social class. The depth to which the people and their relationships are imagined and re-imagined is astonishing. I felt as if I knew these people better than the ones I work with every day.
This is a wonderful book. Yet I recommend you do not read it. Listen to it instead. The audiobook is narrated by the actress, Fenella Woolgar. She is the perfect choice for this. Her performance is faultless. She carried me through this book, helping me to focus and to hear the voices of the time.
"Intriguing story of "what ifs""
Kate Atkinson is such an imaginative writer and has again produced an intriguing, multi-layered story that explores different scenarios for the characters that pivot on a single event or choice in their lives that leads to quite different outcomes. There's an undercurrent of mysticism over the possibility of re-incarnation and the notion that time is fluid such that the past and future can intrude into the present.
The narrative switches back and forth in time from 1910 to 1967. You might think that this would be confusing in an audio book, but this is not the case: The time periods are clearly sign-posted and the characters seem so familiar that one remembers what happened to them in the other scenarios. The book is rich in period detail, particularly those during the Second World War. I was sorry when the book finished as I had felt so absorbed by the characters lives and made to think about how ones life can change direction in an instant.
The narrator is very good.
"A satisfying trip through sliding doors"
I've enjoyed a number of Kate A's books, includding all the unabridged ones on audible, and think this is my new favourite. Well written and narrated, it covers a period from 1910 until post-war, returning time and again to reconsider events and what might have been. Parallel worlds of personal history? The path/s taken/not taken? Deja vu is given an intriguing viewpoint through moving portraits of people locked together by family and circumstance. I loved it!
"Intriguing story, beautifully told."
This was my first Kate Atkinson book, and I shall certainly seek out others. The narrative, though fractured is gripping, and the fluent style is reminiscent of Elisabeth Jane Howard
at her best.
I agree that it seemed to lose its way a little toward the end, and would the pedantic Ursula really misuse the term 'beg the question' ?
Despite these niggles, I have become a fan of this author, and of Fenella Woolgar's superb narration.
"Superbly written and superbly read."
There are times when a book takes your breath away - the originality of the story line and the quality of the writing work together to bring the reader something wonderful. That is what Kate Atkinson has done with her latest novel. How often have we asked the question 'what would have happened if...?' - Ms Atkinson has taken that idea and constructed something marvelous with it. The reading too is excellent, Fenella Woolgar added an extra dimension to what is an excellent novel. Her characterisation was superb, and her wonderful modulation kept me spellbound. I could not stop listening. I loved it all.
"Well done"
Another great Atkinson book full of fresh and original story. What if you had the chance to relive your life until you got it right? Ursella, goes through her live over and over, and each time she does something, it completely changes her past. With much more punch and exciting story plot than Groundhog Day, you realise that your life could go in any direction. After reading this, if makes you see life as more valuable than before, as every action, every person you meet will mark you life and soul forever.
"Gripping, original, fantastic"
Have read all of Kate Atkinson's books and this has to be her best. I'd never voluntarily listen to /read any WW2 books. But this......stunning and evocative.
Great characters, fascinating plot, gripped from start to finish.
Imagine The Time Travelers Wife crossed with Sarah Waters The Night Watch.
And them some. 5 star.
"Beautifully read"
I really enjoyed it, and thought Fenella Woolgar has the perfect voice (she has an amazing range and can do male, female and child's voices very convincingly). My only criticism is that it was over-long.... about 45 minutes before the end I was thinking "ok,.. I think we've finally got there"... and we hadn't. But in general I'd certainly recommend it.
"not sure"
The reader was brilliant. She captured the voice of the era perfectly and brought the characters to life.
The story was clever, the idea of being born again and again until you got it right, was fascinating.
It is the first time I have read about war torn London, usually avoid war stories, but this was beautifully done and very evocative.
It all worked very well .. until the end. Then, I'm just not sure. It wasn't what I expected and I don't feel I understood anymore. I may go back and re-listen to the end and see if I can understand it better. It sort of ..flopped. But the rest of the book was terrific.
Kate Atkinson does not disappoint with this story where the main character has several opportunities to relive her life. The story is in true Atkinson style with lots of twists and turns and the narrator's voice is very soothing.If you have enjoyed this author's other novels, you should enjoy this.
"Couldn't finish it"
I've enjoyed several other Kate Atkinson talking books and was looking forward to Life after Life as the subject matter seems intriguing. The repetition of events is obviously intentional, but the childhood of Ursula seemed interminable and became tedious, so I jumped to the next part hoping it would improve, as I know several other reviewers thought it was a wonderful audiobook. In my opinion it didn't improve as I found the minutiae of description and repetition irritating. The narrator was excellent but even she couldn't persuade me to continue, so I gave up and couldn't finish it.

The low redshift, BL Lacertae galaxy, PKS 2201+044 has been photometrically monitored for the past twenty-seven years on timescales ranging from minutes to decades. This object has exhibited long term secular variations in its brightness which extend to timescales approaching a decade. The total range observed for this object is in excess of 2.3 mag. Low level microvariations have been detected on several nights with amplitudes exceeding 0.1 mag within a given night. The character of these variations will be discussed in detail as well as the constraints that these variations place on the possible emission mechanisms.

Dangling at the end of your rope isn't the kind of thing that makes for much fun. This past Sunday, that's exactly how 10 boat guests and I found ourselves, as my boat twisted and pulled against wind and waves, dead in the water, forced-anchored without power a mile offshore from Channel Islands Harbor.
While my political views are well-regarded as nearly faultless, my captaining isn't. My boat has fuel gauges that have long been deceptive near the low end of the dial.
This time, I tempted gauges and fate just about 2 miles too far. I bet against the gauge, and the gauge won.
Now the sun was going down, the wind coming up and the guests were getting nervous — and seasick. And I was the one who got us in this mess. Stuck dead in open water with nothing but a sturdy anchor and the help of reliable friends keeping my boat and me from a dreaded grounding.
Life is sometimes its own metaphor, it seems. Hanging on at the end of my anchor line, it was reliable friends that got me out of the deep. When we're at the end of our rope, it's almost always our reliable friends and family who make things good and save our ships.
This boating weekend had been planned for weeks. My son Jonathan's Danish "study abroad" father, Mogens, and his family were visiting us in Oxnard. Years ago, they took Jon in and treated him like true family in Denmark during 10th grade.
A decade later, it was my chance to repay the friendship.
But the night before the boat trip, we got a phone call. Brother-in-law Sandy left a message that he couldn't make the trip.
He'd checked himself into Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital with kidney stones. "Go without me," he admonished.
But we couldn't leave without companionship for Sandy at the hospital.
Two weeks ago, Sandy and I attended funerals for two families of coffee shop friends Herman and Arnie. This week, those friends would reach out and help us. One call to Herman, and he was on the case. One call, and most of the Starbucks group ended up in Sandy's room. Reliable friends cared for Sandy while I took care of foreign guests.
And the hospital was great. Local, fast and efficient, with a large emergency ward prepped and ready. Only three years back, Sandy helped Newhall Memorial when it needed fundraising. You can see Sandy's company name on the front wall of the hospital lobby. Now the roles were reversed, and Sandy got the aid.
Meanwhile, the boat trip had been great fun. A quick run to Santa Barbara in the sunny ocean chop, water splashing and dolphins jumping. A wonderful summer day to show off the Golden State for our Danish friends.
Then the fateful trip home. We'd been motoring back an hour and a half when the Channel Islands breakwater finally came into view. Excitement on board as we prepared for arrival. And then, the unexpected "waaaaaaa" from the engine room.
Motors dead, and no reviving them.
Jon's girlfriend, Amber, got right on it. "We're shallow enough, let's anchor it before we drift too close." No sense
grounding the boat. Jon released the anchor, got it secured and luckily, the boat held firm against the strong current.
"Call Vessel Assist," my wife, Carrie, suggested.
"Oh no," I thought, as I confessed to Carrie that I'd not paid its bill this year. Vessel Assist is like the Auto Club, but for boats. With money tighter, I had cut back on that expense.
"Gary, I paid the bill," my ever-cautious Carrie reassured. Generally, I think she's too cautious. Now I'm grateful ever-cautious Carrie is ever cautious. That meant we'd get home safely with no charge. So, we radioed channel 72, and friends from Vessel Assist were right on their way. Thanks, Carrie.
"I'm calling Rob, just in case," I added. Rob's my boating buddy who lives at the harbor. Ahead of Vessel Assist, Rob and wife sped up in their little boat, circling around until the towboat arrived. Friends all around and friends on the way. When you get in a jam, "surrounded by friends" feels pretty good.
Vessel Assist did a great job getting us safely back to harbor with damage only to my dented captain's reputation.
Mogens, Jon and crew bailed out the frazzled captain, working the anchor, manning the lines and tying us back in the slip, warm and dry and secure after the exhausting experience.
Funny how things turn out and turn again. The next morning, Mogens' rental car wouldn't start; his battery was dead.
Roles reversed again. Carrie's car had spare jumper cables, and we got Mogens and family out of port on time.
All through the twisty-turny weekend, it was friends making right everything that possibly could go wrong. Sooner or later, all of us hold on tight against wind and waves — be they life-threatening, challenging or merely annoying. Hold friends close now and you'll always have anchor enough when it's your turn to dangle from life's ever-twisting line.

Wednesday night on Fox, the two questions America has been asking all summer were answered.
Question No. 1: Who would viewers vote to become the first "American Idol" winner of a $1 million recording contract?
Answer No. 1: The big-voiced, ebullient Kelly Clarkson, 20, a cocktail waitress from Burleson, Texas, who sang her heart out to beat the baby-faced, bushy-haired Justin Guarini, 23, a door-to-door salesman from Doylestown, Pa.
Question No. 2: How the heck were the producers going to fill the entire two hours of the live finale?
Answer No. 2: With a lot of commercials and plenty of rehashing of previous episodes, including the memorable audition of one tone-deaf Miami hopeful who warned judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson that she was going to sing "whatever God puts in my mouth."
The winner, however, was not announced until 9:52 p.m., Eastern time, shortly after Guarini and Clarkson sang a duet of "It Takes Two," followed by six commercials and all three judges saying Kelly deserved to win.
Justin then planted a big kiss on the winner, who told the crowd, "I pretty much think, 'How am I going to sing this next song when I'm crying?'" She then sang, "A Moment Like This."
Immediately beforehand, Justin took a bow and bade farewell. "I am so blessed to be up here," he said as he thanked everyone inside Hollywood's Kodak Theater.
Kelly, who didn't seem to get as much airtime as the show progressed, was noticeably touched when the people back home told her they were rooting for her. "I take it day by day," she said at halftime, when asked how she was coping with the excitement.
The Top 10 finalists also returned to the stage, delivering a relatively bland '60s medley.
The penultimate "American Idol" episode, which aired Tuesday, drew 18.2 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. That made it the most-watched program of the summer.
So powerful was the impact of "Idol," reports Reuters, that following Tuesday's installment, Verizon Communications on the East Coast claimed to have logged 107 million calls on its network -- about 32 million more calls than usual on a typical weekday evening at the same time.
Meanwhile, at the U.S. Open, Venus Williams, 22, easily beat Monica Seles, 29, in the Women's Quarterfinals, 6-2, 6-3.
