The funeral for legendary BeeGee Robin Gibb took place in Oxfordshire, England and the main message from fans and family were that he was a warm and kindhearted man that will be sorely missed.
Barry Gibb, the sole surviving member of the BeeGees trio paid an emotional tribute to his brother, saying that he's now been reunited with Maurice, his twin.
He said, "They were both beautiful. And now they're together. They're actually together"
A stunning horse drawn carriage procession left Robin's home and head for St Mary's Church where Barry along with friends and family, finally put his brother to rest.
The BeeGees' falsetto-toned music spanned several decades, sold over two hundred million records and includes massive hits such as Night Fever, Stayin' Alive and More Than A Woman.
Robin's death was untimely, aged just 62 due to kidney failure following a battle with cancer and pneumonia.
"Life is too short" said Barry "In Robin's case, absolutely too short. We should have had 20 years, 30 years of his magnificent mind and his beautiful heart."

Let me start with the good stuff. First of all, I think it's great that we have yet another asynchronous contender in the Python world. Every time something like this comes out, it means that Twisted has to fight that much less hard to get over the huge hump of event-driven programming being too hard, or too weird, or whatever. It's good to have an endorsement of the general message "if you need a web server to handle COMET requests, it needs to be asynchronous to perform acceptably" from such a high-profile company as Facebook.
Unfortunately I think the larger picture here is a failure of communication in the open source community. In the course of developing Tornado, there are several things that FriendFeed could have done to move the Twisted community forward, at no cost to themselves. I don't want to rag on FriendFeed, or Bret Taylor, or Facebook here; they're not the first to re-write something without communicating. In fact I recently had almost this exact same discussion with another project that did the same thing. Since Tornado is such a high-profile example, though, I want to draw attention to the problem so that there's some hope that maybe the next project won't forget to communicate first.
My main point here is that if you're about to undergo a re-write of a major project because it didn't meet some requirements that you had, please tell the project that you are rewriting what you are doing. In the best case scenario, someone involved with that project will say, "Oh, you've misunderstood the documentation, actually it does do that". In the worst case, you go ahead with your rewrite anyway, but there is some hope that you might be able to cooperate in the future, as the project gradually evolves to meet your requirements. Somewhere in the middle, you might be able to contribute a few small fixes rather than re-implementing the whole thing and maintaining it yourself.
This is especially important if you are later going to make claims about that project not living up to your vaguely-described requirements, and thereby damage its reputation. Bret Taylor claims in his blog:
We ended up writing our own web server and framework after looking at existing servers and tools like Twisted because none matched both our performance requirements and our ease-of-use requirements.
First and foremost, it would have been great to hear from Bret when he started off using Twisted about any performance problems or ease-of-use problems. I'm guessing that Twisted itself had only ease-of-use problems, and other "tools like Twisted" were the ones with performance problems, since later, in a comment on the same post, he says:
I can't imagine there is much of a performance difference [between Twisted Web and Tornado]. The bottom is not that complex in my opinion.
It would also be great if he had explicitly said that Twisted didn't have performance problems rather than making me guess, because I'm sure that is what lots of developers will take away from this. When you have the bully pulpit, off-the-cuff comments like this can do serious damage to smaller projects.
More to the point, what is the problem with "ease of use", exactly? The fact that he found Deferred tedious, in particular, seems very strange to me, given that it is so un-tedious that it has become a de-facto standard even in the JavaScript community. We had no opportunity to help him or anyone else out, because as far as I can tell from searching our archives, we never heard from him or from anyone else at FriendFeed when they were trying out Twisted at first. Even as he's saying that Twisted is hard to use and (maybe?) performs poorly, he isn't pointing to any particular example of what about it is hard to use, or what performs poorly. There's still nothing we can do to address this criticism. And there's still not much we can do to make sure that future potential Twisted users won't have this problem.
Later, in yet another comment, Bret points out the root problem:
This is true. However, as I frequently like to note, Twisted is starved for resources. Reconciling the chaos described on the page about web development with Twisted is an ongoing process. For a tiny fraction of the effort invested in Tornado, FriendFeed could have worked with us to resolve many of the issues creating that chaos.
This is the main thing I want to reinforce here. If half a dozen occasional contributors with a real focused interest in web development showed up to help us on Twisted, we'd have an awesome, polished web story within a few months. If even one person really took responsibility for twisted.web, things would pick up. But if everyone who wants an asynchronous webserver either uses twisted.web (because it's great!) without talking to us or decides not to use it (because it doesn't meet their unstated requirements) without talking to us, it's going to continue to improve at the same sluggish pace.
Even at the current rate, by the time we have an excellent HTTP story, I somehow doubt that Tornado will have a good SSHv2 protocol story ;-).
In his comment, Bret also takes a couple of pot-shots at Twisted that I think are unnecessary, and I'd like to address those too.
In general, it seems like Twisted is full of demo-quality stuff, but most of the protocols have tons of bugs.
We're not talking about "most" of the protocols here, Tornado is only concerned with HTTP. And the HTTP implementation(s) in Twisted do not have "tons of bugs". They are production quality, used on lots of different websites, and have lots of automated tests. While much of the code in twisted.web doesn't have complete test coverage, since it's old enough to predate our testing requirements, I note that Tornado appears to have zero test coverage.
There's a kernel of truth here — some of the older, less frequently used protocols have a few problems — but in most cases the "bugs" are really just a lack of functionality. Twisted overall has very few protocol-related bugs, and again, our test policy makes sure that new bugs are introduced very rarely.
Given all those factors, it didn't seem to provide a lot of value. Our core I/O loop is actually pretty small and simple, and I think resulted in fewer bugs than would have come up if we had used Twisted.
I must respectfully disagree. Again, I don't want to rag on FriendFeed here, but here are several features that Tornado would have, and bugs that it wouldn't have, if it used Twisted for the event loop and none of the HTTP stuff:
- EINTR wouldn't cause your application to exit if run in a non-US-english locale.
- You don't have the opportunity to forget to set a socket to be non-blocking and thereby make your entire application stop.
- It would be possible to run your application on Windows.
- Firewalled connections and running out of file descriptors wouldn't cause your server to spew errors forever (at least, it won't any more).
- You could write a TCP client that didn't block for an arbitrary amount of time in connect().
- Finally, of course, you could use all of Twisted's other protocols, client and server: IMAP, POP, SMTP, IRC, AIM, etc. You could also use external protocol implementations like Thift.
- You could spawn asynchronous subprocesses.
This list is a great example of why projects like Tornado really should use Twisted. Tornado implements some innovative web-framework stuff, but absolutely nothing interesting that I can see at the level of async I/O. Using Twisted would have allowed them to focus exclusively on cool web things and left the never-ending stream of incremental surprising platform-specific, only-happens-in-weird-situations bugfixes to a single, common source.
What To Do Now
I hope that someone at FriendFeed will be a little heavier on detail and a little lighter on FUD in some future conversation about Twisted. However, I'm sure they're going to have their hands full maintaining their own code, so I don't have high expectations in this area. I'm sure Bret wasn't intentionally slamming Twisted, either; it wasn't like he wrote a big screed about it, he just dropped in a few unsubstantiated comments into a much larger post about Tornado. So I just want to be clear: I don't have sore feelings, I don't need anybody to apologize to me or to Twisted.If any of you out there are fans of both Tornado and of Twisted, it would be great if you could contribute a patch to Tornado which would allow it to at least optionally use Twisted as an I/O back-end. It would be great, of course, if lots of people interested in web stuff would help us out with our web situation, but supporting the Twisted event loop would be good regardless. It would mean that when people wanted to speak multiple protocols, they wouldn't need to re-write or kludge in their existing Tornado application, so it would increase the chances that we could get some help with our SSH, FTP, IRC, or XMPP code instead. It would also open up a much wider multi-protocol landscape to users of Tornado, even if Tornado's default mode of operation still used ioloop.py.
Even better would be to hook up something that made a Tornado IResource implementation, so that Tornado applications and twisted.web and Nevow applications could all be seamlessly integrated into one server.
The whole point of Twisted is to have a common I/O layer that lots of different libraries can use, share, and build on, so that we can solidify the common and highly complex abstraction required of a comprehensive, cross-platform, event-driven I/O layer. In order to realize that vision, we need help not just with the code; we need more Twisted ambassadors to go out into the community and help us integrate these disparate applications, help us find out where real users are finding the documentation inadequate or the organization confusing.
Tornado could be an excellent opportunity for those ambassadors to go out and introduce others to the wonders of Twisted, because its endorsement from FriendFeed guarantees it an audience of a tens of thousands of developers, at least for its first few months of life. If you've shied away from contributing to Twisted itself because of our aggressive testing and documentation requirements, well, Tornado apparently doesn't have any, so it would be a great place for you to start :).

I'm in an argument. To me "are" makes more sense. I understand the rationale for is because it's only one chicken, but chickens itself is plural. Help?
One should not get distracted with the preposition preceding the verb. The sentence is essentially: You could put anything between the "one" and "is", and that wouldn't change the verb number: The subject is "one", and not "chickens", and thus, as "one" is singular, the verb needs to be singular as well, hence the "is". | |||||||||||||||||||||
The phrase "one out of a hundred" is an adjective, here, qualifying a noun as a particular type of plural: a statistical likelihood. The subject is not "one", but "chickens". That makes the entire phrase a plural construct. You can also think of it this way: "one-out-of-a-hundred" doesn't have any meaning unless there are 200 or more instances in question. That implies, here, 2 or more chickens. Would you write "1% is"? Of course not; "1%" doesn't mean "one", it means "Divide a sample by 100, and that will indicate the number of hypothesized instances likely to occur." "1% of all fatalities are...." is the obvious choice. This is the same exact meaning as "One out of a hundred chickens". It is for this reason that hyphens were invented. The sentence could be written like this: "One-out-of-a-hundred chickens are...." So here, "one out of a hundred" is a dependent adjectival phrase modifying "chickens". In instances where the "chickens" is dropped, that does not mean that "one" becomes the subject, but rather that the subject "chickens" is implied. Finally, to elaborate my point, you may think of it this way: "Some chickens are overweight." "How many chickens are overweight?" "One out of a hundred chickens are overweight." "One out of a hundred?" "Yes -- only one out of a hundred are overweight." | |||||||||||||||||||||
The other answers contain quite good rationales for the two possible answers. I decided to look at usage. Here is a Google Ngram for the phrases "one in a hundred is" and "one in a hundred are". You can see that "is" is the overwhelming favorite. Google Ngrams can sometimes be misleading, so I looked at a sample of the sources. There are a few interlopers ("One in a hundred is too high a risk"), but in well over half of the occurrences of "one in a hundred is", the subject is "one" and the verb "is". So usage predominantly favors "is", although "are" is also occasionally seen. So "one in a hundred is" is the preferred construction. However, since there is a reasonably good argument for "one in a hundred are" being grammatical, and since maybe one in five people currently uses it, if you really want to use it, I'd say go ahead. But don't say, * "out of every hundred, one are ...". That sounds really wrong. | ||||
If you're in an argument about this, well really you could invent an argument either way. Either way, the argument you invent would probably sound convincing on the surface. Your argument that you "should" use a singular verb will probably hinge around the fact that "one" is singular. Your argument that you "should" use a plural verb might hinge around, say, the fact that it is ungrammatical to say 'A lot of people has...'. But linguistically, these arguments are generally spurious. Like the argumentation behind many prescriptive rules, they appear at first glance to work logically because they assume a model of language which is overly simplistic. So if you say, e.g. that it "must" be a singular verb because 'one' is singular, really what you're saying is 'my model/understanding of how language works is too simplistic to take account of the fact that sometimes a superficially singular noun is actually part of the subject of a plural verb'. If you look at actual usage, you will see that it varies. As a native speaker, my gut instinct would be that the plural is more common in spontaneous/informal speech, and that the singular is essentially a prescriptive invention. But I don't actually have any data to support that. (I'm guessing even some of the small available corpora such as Collins Cobuild might provide some data if anyone has time to look at this.) Peter Shor shows a case where preference for the singular verb apparently overtakes the plural. However, note that the phrase he has chosen uses ellipsis (it "misses out the noun"). If you do some other Ngram searches including the noun, you can find answers where the plural overtakes the singular (e.g. "one in five people have/has"). I'm not sure that Ngram in this case gives a very reliable overall picture of general usage, though it does clearly indicate that both forms are used. | |||

Mr. HILLIGASS submitted a report from a majority of the Committee on Printing and returned the resolutions concerning stationery, reporting that the Principal Secretary has the right to furnish such supplies, and recommending that he draw on the Bureau of Printing for the same.
Mr. HENRY presented a minority report from the same Committee, reporting that the State Librarian is authorized by law to furnish such stationery, and recommending the adoption of a resolution authorizing the Principal and Assistant, Secretary to insert, all necessary stationary, from the State Librarian, except legislative bills and lane-heads.
Mr. BROWN demanded the previous question, and the demand being seconded by the Senate, under its operations the minority report was rejected by yeas, 17; nays, 26.
Pending roll call-
Mr. BUNDY, in explanation of his vote, said: As the report of the Minority Committee shows that this stationery and other articles necessary for the transaction of the business of the Senate at 10 per cent. cheaper if the minority report is adopted than otherwise, and for the purpose of economizing to that extent and saving that amount of money, as far as my vote will go in that direction, and thus contributing my vote to stem the tide of extravagance which seems to have taken possession of the Democratic side of the Senate. I vote "aye."
Mr. BROWN (sotto voce) moved that the Senator have the right to print his speech.
Mr. VOYLES, in explanation of his vote, said inasmuch as the minority report does not show how what quality of paper will be furnished by the Librarian, he would vote "no."
The majority report was concurred in.
Mr. BROWN moved to reconsider the vote adopting the report, and to lay that motion on the table. The latter motion was agreed to.
Mr RISTINE offered a resolution directing the State Librarian to furnish each Committee Room with copies of both editions of the statutes, with acts, etc.
It was adopted.
Mr. BROWN announced the appointment of Harry B. Raum as a Committee Clerk for one group of committees.

Charlie Sheen: I'm done playing 'immature'
Actor to return to TV next week in 'Anger Management'
Hindsight is crystal clear for actor Charlie Sheen, who's poised to make his return to TV next week in FX's "Anger Management."
Two years ago, it seemed Sheen was in the midst of either an epic public meltdown or a very committed piece of performance art, but the actor tells Playboy in its July/August issue that what was really going on was denial.
"It wasn't that bleak in my head. I felt I was winning by finally being able to speak my mind. I felt that was some sort of victory." he said. "And then it was fueled by the insane public outpouring of support."
There wasn't "a master plan" in place to make "Winning!" a regular part of everyday conversations - those ramblings and catchphrases just "came out of nowhere," he said. "It was just random. The tiger blood? I don't know. It's just a very dangerous animal. And there's a tiger in 'Apocalypse Now,' by the way, so maybe there's a connection there. Adonis DNA? I don't know what the f*** that was about. That was just stupid. That went a little far."
But as for his firing from "Two and a Half Men," Sheen doesn't sound like he has any regrets - although he does wish he'd been kinder to his former co-star, Jon Cryer, who now appears on the CBS sitcom with Sheen's replacement, Ashton Kutcher.
"I whaled on him unnecessarily," Sheen says now of Cryer. "He was trying to keep the s*** together, trying to cover my a**, pick up the slack. He just got caught in the crossfire. He's a beautiful man and a f****g fabulous dude and I miss him. I need to repair that relationship, and I will. I will reach out and do whatever is necessary."
Sheen's also had a change of heart about the characters he wants to portray. On FX's "Anger Management," which is a sitcom version of the 2003 Jack Nicholson film, the actor's playing Charlie Goodson, who he describes as a "professionally accomplished, former ballplayer learning to overcome his anger issues."
It's a purposeful move: "I'm done playing a drunken, womanizing, immature character," Sheen said. "This time I'm playing an adult."
"Anger Management" premiers on FX June 28 at 9 p.m. ET.

Things I liked:This is a great Sporter class rifle, you will hit the 10 ring, only if you can! This rifle will shoot an inch group at 50 yards in wind, and a 5shot group will look like you only took one shot. And this rifle only needs 2000 psi so it can be easily pumped with a hand pump, or it will extend the life of your tank because it does not use as much air. And this is a very quiet air rifle, not like the AAs200 which was killing my ear every time someone next to me shot it...challenger has a wonderful, crisp triger that is fully adjustable down to a half a pound. Things I would have changed:A better rear sight. What others should know:I went to competition with this rifle, in my first year of shooting. I shot a 479 and got 9th in the state. now I am shooting 490-511. Things I liked:This seems like a perfect Sporter rifle. Got it shipped a couple of days back.By the looks of it, seems pretty light-weight and good value for money. The accuracy needs to be tested though and will post the results soon Things I would have changed:1. Service was pretty poor. Though we had spoken to the sales rep-Mr Eric on more than one occasion, regarding attachment of some import papers to the carton, this was completely ignored and I'd had to cough up $300 as customs duty which could have been avoided since I had all necessary legal documentation. 2. Address mentioned on carton was wrong and mis-spelt. 3. Packaging was shoddy. Pellets from one box were strewn all over and I eventually lost about 30 of them . Things I liked:Excellent 10 meter gun for the money. Will shoot with the germans,, if YOU can. Things I would have changed:Needs more front aperture inserts. Would like to be able to adjust the very good trigger to be a little lighter. Got it down to about a pound and a half,, would like to get to 6 ounces. What others should know:You have to buy your refilling adapter separatly. It doesn't come with one. You will need to run at least 500 rounds through this barrel to get to it's full potential. Then it will be capable of all tens,, if you are. This is NOT a plinker,, this is a precision air rifle. Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers

Doing more with Dropbox
Box It!
The proprietary Dropbox service has become a popular way to exchange large files. The Dropbox web API also supports scripts, like the one in this article that picks up files from behind a firewall.
Recently, an intern at Yahoo offered to lend me a digital audio book and suggested that she could "dropbox" it for me. Although I do try to keep in touch with today's youth, I was surprised to hear that the service offered by dropbox.com has become some kind of ubiquitous standard, to the point that "to dropbox" is now a verb, just like "to google."

Over the years, Hofstra has welcomed some of the country's finest composers of educational music for band for this event. The second meeting takes place on Friday, where the rehearsal continues, followed by a evening concert to which family, friends and teachers are invited.
Dr. Peter Loel Boonshaft, conductor of the Hofstra University Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band, professor of conducting and music education and director of the Graduate Wind Conducting Program at Hofstra, developed and directs the Middle School Honor Band Festival.

Committee gets testimony on tar sands pipelineFebruary 19,2013The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — A committee of the Vermont House is hearing about the possible shipment of tar sands oil on a pipeline that crosses northern Vermont.
The CEO of the Portland Pipeline Company, which owns the line, is due to appear Tuesday before the House Committee on Fish, Wildlife and Water Resources.
Larry Wilson said in recent legislative testimony that he would welcome an opportunity to reverse the flow of the Montreal-to-Portland pipeline, but he currently knows of no plans to do so.
Environmental groups have been warning of the likelihood that tar sands would be shipped through Vermont.
The committee is weighing whether Vermont's Act 250 land-use law should apply to the shipment of heavy oil through the state.MORE IN This Just InRUTLAND- The federal prosecutor's office in Vermont says a 31-year-old man is going to prison for...

SOURCE VanDyke Software, Inc.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Oct. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- VanDyke Software, a developer of multi-platform secure terminal emulation and secure file transfer software, today announced the beta releases of SecureCRT 7.2 and SecureFX 7.2. On the Windows platform, SecureCRT and SecureFX now have a dockable session manager for quick access to sessions. On Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms, SecureCRT and SecureFX introduce a personal data folder for storing logon credentials separate from other session data.
"Many of our customers work with multiple, sometimes hundreds, of sessions at a time," said Maureen Jett, VanDyke Software's Product Director. "In that complex environment, opening a dialog to connect to or modify a session can be disruptive. With the session manager, sessions are viewed in a dockable pane that can be positioned on the left, right, top, or bottom of the main program window. The session manager can also be undocked and used as a modeless dialog."
Discussing the convenience of the session manager, Scott Boyd, a network engineer and SecureCRT user, said, "The session manager is outstanding. I work with a lot of sessions and having the dockable window that I can also auto hide gives me very quick access to the sessions I use regularly."
Also new in the 7.2 beta releases is a personal data folder that allows usernames, passwords, and automated logon information to be stored separately from other configuration data. This allows personal data to be kept private while other configuration data is stored on a network drive or in the cloud so that it can be used on different systems or shared with colleagues.
SecureCRT 7.2 adds the ability to quickly zoom a session using the mouse or keyboard (Windows and Mac only) as well as a number of time-saving scripting enhancements. In SecureFX 7.2, SCP now supports Cisco and Juniper devices, and new options have been added to automatically synchronize files and to force ASCII or binary to be used for all files, reducing the interruption of manual prompts.
Availability of SecureCRT 7.2 beta and SecureFX 7.2 beta
VanDyke Software's SecureCRT is a terminal client that helps IT professionals manage secure remote access and securely "tunnel" email, web, and corporate application data. SecureFX meets your evolving file transfer needs with a single application that lets you choose between SFTP, FTP over SSL (TLS), or SCP for secure transfers, or standard FTP for nonsecure transfers.
To download a fully-functional evaluation copy of SecureCRT 7.2 (beta) or SecureFX 7.2 (beta), visit the VanDyke Software website at http://www.vandyke.com. The 30-day evaluation period includes access to VanDyke Software's technical support group.
About VanDyke Software, Inc.
Busy IT professionals depend on VanDyke Software to deliver rock-solid, easy-to-configure software for secure remote access, secure file transfer, terminal emulation, and remote administration. VanDyke Software offers a fully-supported 30-day evaluation of its products prior to purchase, providing both evaluators and customers with a higher level of service. The company's product offerings include the SecureCRT Secure Shell terminal emulator, the SecureFX secure file transfer client, the VanDyke ClientPack, and the VShell® Secure Shell server.

BSBV panel gives view on future shape of south west London health services
A scoring panel of 60 people has kicked off a long process to help the local NHS decide which options to do more work on when considering the future shape of health services in SW London.
Panel participants including members of the public, patients, the voluntary sector, doctors, nurses, local authorities and directors of public health have given their scores and ranking on which of the current south west London hospitals should host a state of the art planned surgery centre, and which sites should develop and improve their A&E and maternity services.
Participants also scored the no-change option. In all of the options, St George's Hospital remains the hyper acute, stroke unit and major trauma centre, as this has previously been subject to public consultation.
The panel's combined view is not a decision, but one input into a lengthy process to determine the best future shape of services.
The scoring panel considered options for the future shape of services based on non-financial criteria, including clinical quality, patient experience and travel times.
The scoring panel ranked all of the options in the following order:
Dr Howard Freeman, local GP and Joint Medical Director, said:
"Clinicians leading this programme are committed to four hospitals in south west London but we know that the services at all four of our local hospitals need to change to better meet the needs of the local population. Our population is ageing, we have more people living with long term conditions and a rising birth rate. Doctors, nurses and patients representatives have worked hard in Clinical Working Groups for the past year looking at the clinical evidence, debating and testing with patients and public the models of care for health services. We want to get our proposals for the local NHS right and that takes time.
"The options appraisal process – financial and non-financial – is about identifying what options are viable and then which option is preferred. The scores from the panel will now be combined with financial scoring which we expect to be available later this month. Even after combining these scores, we will need to work up those options that score highest to make sure they would deliver the changes to local health services that we need. Once this detailed and comprehensive modelling analysis has been done, we will then know if the options modelled would work in practice. It is important thatwe do this work before formally consulting the public. This is whythe scoring panel is happening now – a long way before public consultation.
"Today has been a uniquely open and transparent approach to scoring these options; it is unusual to directly involve so many people in this way. We asked people in January how they thought we should do this and this panel was the result.
As doctors and nurses, we want high quality, safe health services and patients have told us they want the same.There is a long way to go before we put firm proposals to the public for them to have their say. No decisions will be made without the views of local people being considered in full."
Dr David Finch, local GP and Joint Medical Director for BSBV, said:
"We want to make local health services better and safer for our patients. We believe we can improve vital and life-saving services by creating centres of excellence for A&E, maternity and planned surgery. We also want to move services from hospitals tocommunity services so people are kept well, kept out of hospital and treated as close to home as possible.
"Changing the way we deliver health services will save lives – 520 lives could have been saved last year across London if hospital staffing was the same at weekends as weekdays. Remember that London-wide stroke and major trauma were criticised at first as they meant longer travelling times in an emergency – but they have saved hundreds of lives. As a local GP, I am convinced that our proposals will save lives too and that they will improve services for my patients."
Mr Michael Bailey, Senior Surgeon and Acute Medical Director for BSBV, said:
"Throughout the day I spoke to a number of my fellow panel members including GPs, hospital doctors, nurses as well as patients and the public. I believe each one of us took our role on the panel extremely seriously and considered the evidence for each of the criteria including patient experience and clinical quality carefully in our task to weigh up the options."
The panel's view on the future shape of local services will now be combined with a financial appraisal. Later this month, the BSBV Clinical Strategy Group and Programme Board will consider both, before the Joint Boards of South West London Primary Care Trusts decide which options should be modelled in full to be presented to the public for formal consultation later this year."

The October - December 2013 Training & Registration Portfolio is now available.
Beginning July 1, 2012, Kentucky's network of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies will become Child Care Aware® of Kentucky. As part of this initiative, important changes in the CCR&R services will take place. To learn more visit, http://www.kentuckypartnership.org/childcareaware
WKU CCR&R Hot Topics in Technical Assistance Requests:
Lesson Plans – "A lesson plan is not the daily schedule – it should have more detail than a daily
schedule. Your preschool or school age daily schedule may include headings like "story
time." But a lesson plan would tell what specific book you are going to read, props
to help it come alive, and activities you plan to do to engage children during the
story and as follow-up." To learn more, check out this past Child Care Professional Article.
Cribs – "Beginning Dec 28, 2012, any crib provided by child care facilities and family child care homes must meet new and improved federal safety standards. The new standards take effect for manufacturers, retailers, importers and distributors on June 28, 2011, addressing deadly hazards previously seen with traditional drop-side rails, requiring more durable hardware and parts and mandating more rigorous testing." To learn more, take a look at the Child Care Providers Guide to New Crib Standards from the Division of Child Care.
Disaster Preparedness – "A child-care center licensed under KRS 199.896 shall have a written plan for evacuation in the event of fire, natural disaster, or other threatening situation that may pose a health or safety hazard to the children in the center." KRS 199.895 requiring the above mentioned evacuation plan went into effect on December 31, 2011. The plan shall include but not be limited to: A designated relocation site and evacuation route; Procedures for notifying parents of the relocation and ensuring family reunification; Procedures to address the needs of individual children including children with special needs; Instructions relating to the training of staff or the reassignment of staff duties, as appropriate; Coordination with local emergency management officials; and A program to ensure that appropriate staff are familiar with the plan's components.
