Warwick Castle is a little further away but is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the country.
Hidcote Manor Gardens are historic and famous gardens owned by The National Trust. They are one of the most beautiful gardens in The Cotswolds.
Sezincote is an Indian style House with an eastern Hindu garden and is situated close to Batsford Arboretum, home to a rare and beautiful collection of trees, shrubs and wildflowers.

Download citation file: RIS (Zotero) EndNote BibTex Medlars ProCite RefWorks Reference Manager Mendeley © Copyright Tools Search Book Top Return Clip Autosuggest Results ++ With airway obstruction, trauma, or elective surgery, control of the airway is the first priority that must be accomplished before any other intervention can proceed. In cases of a rapidly decompensating airway, particularly in pediatric patients or patients with airways that are difficult to manage, the otolaryngologist is frequently consulted to assist in patient airway management. ++ Successful airway management must begin with a careful, thorough, and rapid evaluation of the airway. Healthy patients presenting with normal head and neck anatomy who undergo elective surgery represent relatively straightforward cases in which standard endotracheal intubation can provide an easy and secure airway. Patients presenting with upper airway obstruction must be evaluated quickly, efficiently, and accurately. ++ Physical examination is a key element in diagnosing upper airway obstruction. Stridor, or noisy respiration, is a hallmark symptom of upper airway obstruction. The timing of the stridor with respiration can frequently indicate where the obstruction lies. Inspiratory stridor normally results when the obstruction is at the larynx or above. Expiratory stridor usually indicates a more distal obstruction (eg, a tracheal obstruction). Biphasic stridor (ie, noise on both inspiration and expiration) may indicate a subglottic obstruction. The quality of the voice is also important. A muffled voice may reflect supraglottic obstruction, such as from the epiglottitis. A hoarse voice may indicate laryngeal involvement (eg, papillomas or tumors). A breathy or weak voice or cry may suggest vocal cord paralysis. Other signs of upper airway obstruction include suprasternal or substernal retractions, tachypnea, and cyanosis. ++ An accurate history is also critical in evaluating the airway and formulating the best plan to manage it. The physician should determine whether the obstruction occurred acutely or chronically. The age of the patient also helps in distinguishing the cause of the obstruction. Congenital airway anomalies (eg, laryngomalacia, choanal atresia, hemangioma, and tracheomalacia) and acute inflammatory causes (eg, croup and epiglottitis) are more common in children. In adults, tumors are a more common cause of obstruction. Trauma can cause airway obstruction, and this circumstance is usually easy to diagnose. However, it is important to carefully ascertain the mechanism and type of injury. Suspicion of laryngeal trauma may make conventional endotracheal intubation perilous because it can potentially result in a more compromised airway due to laryngotracheal separation. In these circumstances, the physician should consider performing a tracheotomy while the patient is awake. Similarly, massive maxillofacial trauma may preclude normal translaryngeal intubation; a flexible fiberoptic intubation or a tracheotomy while the patient is awake should be considered in these situations. ++ Nonsurgical Measures ++ Patients with difficult airways should be identified before the induction of anesthesia and intubation so that proper planning and communication between the anesthesiologist and the surgeon can be coordinated. A difficult airway is defined as a situation in which a conventionally trained anesthesiologist experiences difficulty with mask ventilation, endotracheal intubation, or both. In addition, the physician should be prepared for a potentially difficult airway or ...

Parisian Pleasures
Review by Fiona Duncan, published 15th March 2004.
If Paris hotels have a common drawback, it's public rooms that are full of panache, and bedrooms that turn out to be soulless boxes. So, in looking for a romantic retreat, it's important to choose one whose bedrooms live up to the promise of first impressions. An appealing location is essential, of course, and welcoming staff. Haughty receptionists have always been a hazard here, and though things are improving, there are still plenty of ice maidens flicking their designer wraps across their shoulders and watching with ill-disguised contempt as you drag your luggage across the hall and attempt to cram it into the world's smallest lift. Then there are the famously terrible breakfasts. And the noise: a street cleaning machine at 6am, or the prolonged ablutions of other guests intruding remorselessly through paper-thin walls.
So what makes a romantic hotel in Paris? Obviously it must be free of all or most of these imperfections, but most important, it must have the right ambience, a certain je ne sais quoii. With romance, and a range of budgets, in mind, here is the pick.
Lancaster 7 rue de Berri, 75008. Tel 01 40 76 40 76. Fax 01 40 76 40 00. Doubles: 410-1650 euros.
It's hard to fault the Lancaster. Even the hotel's imperfect location seems to work to its advantage, as you step from the brash world of the Champs Elysées into a private house atmosphere of civilized calm and understated luxury. It's a hotel with a history: a grand ancien régime style town house purchased in 1930 by legendary hotelier Emile Wolf, who filled it with antiques and objects d'art and a starry array of guests including Noel Coward and Marlene Dietrich. Its present owner, Grace Leo Andrieu, has deftly brought it up to date while preserving its atmosphere of unflashy glamour and carefully adding to Wolf's eclectic collection of furniture.
As for romance, it's on tap, beginning with tea in the enchanting, pale green little Salon Berri, and a ride in the original red leather lift. Do you want your bath filled with rose petals, your room filled with balloons, dinner à deux on your private terrace or in an alcove in the delightful courtyard garden? It shall be done, carried out by staff who by any standards are exceptionally kind and courteous. They say they are on tenterhooks whenever they know a proposal is in the offing (no refusal yet); and they deliver a surprise treat to every couple celebrating something special. Top chef Michel Troisgros takes charge of the intimate restaurant in the spring.
Costes 239 rue St-Honoré, 75001. Tel 01 42 44 50 00. Fax 01 42 44 50 01. Doubles: 300-2300 euros.
While the Lancaster attracts its fair share of celebrities, you don't have to be someone to feel wanted there. Not so at Costes, darling of the fashion and film crowd. If your face doesn't fit, the alarmingly hip staff, famously hard to distinguish from the guests - a pierced belly button here, a diamond nose stud there - will freeze you at 20 paces. The disaster of an ordinary mortal staying at Costes is minimized by a haughty no-advertising policy and it works – the place is always packed, often with a film crew and a movie star or two in evidence.
If, on the other hand, your face does fit and you want a high-octane, highly public romantic interlude in Paris, then Costes is for you, an opulent faux Napoleon III cocoon which top decorator Jacques Garcia created in his plushest, most lavish haute-bordello style. There are plenty of intimate, shadowy corners and in the pool room you can draw the curtains around your double day bed for complete privacy. At night, chill music is provided by cool in-house DJ, Stéphane Pompougnac. Rooms are small but richly decorated, with wonderful bathrooms, many with deep Victorian clawfoot baths. The most charming open on to a flower-filled terrace.
Ermitage 24 rue Lamarck, 75018. Tel 01 42 64 79 22. Fax 01 42 64 10 33. Doubles: 82 euros.
Crammed with antiques and knick-knacks, this enchanting little hotel in the shadow of Sacré-Coeur is proof that romance doesn't have to cost the earth. From a dark blue hall, shadowy murals by a Montmartre artist decorate walls, doors and skirting boards, and lead all the way up the stairs. The bedrooms are light and spacious, decked out in English chintzes, with large carved beds and armoires. No. 12 (one of two downstairs rooms) has a private patio, though its furniture is more modern.

For a romantic location, this hotel cannot be beaten. As you walk from place des Vosges, the most harmonious square in Paris, through a quiet courtyard garden into the spacious entrance, a blanket of calm descends. Once the home of Anne of Austria, today the 17th-century mansion feels more like a baronial country house where, on wintry days, a fire roars in the sitting room's huge stone fireplace. The bedrooms are all different, ranging from feminine toile de jouy to Baroque suites in a riot of purple velvet and mauve silk.
Degrés de Notre Dame 10 rue des Grands Degrés, 75005. Tel 01 55 42 88 88. Fax 01 40 46 95 34. Doubles: 70-180 euros.
Hardly any small hotels in Paris have a dining room. Here, however, is an exception – the kind of family-run establishment well known in the French countryside, but rarely found in the city: a restaurant with rooms. On a charming tree-filled square, the cosy beamed restaurant, where guests also eat breakfast, has the feel of a simple auberge and serves correspondingly rustic food. You climb a steep wooden staircase, past frescoed walls, to reach the distinctive bedrooms, the best being at the front on the higher floors.
Abbaye 10 rue Casette, 75006. Tel 01 45 44 38 11. Fax 01 45 48 07 86. Doubles: 185-427 euros.
This chic yet inviting hotel in a skilfully converted former abbey has a cosseting feel that would even rekindle the flame of a cooling romance. From the moment you arrive, the courteous staff are eager to help. The salon is filled with fresh flowers and comfortable sofas, and the conservatory-style breakfast room, overlooking a lovely courtyard garden, must be one of the most alluring in Paris. For a touch of class, ask for one of the beautifully decorated duplex suites.
Le Sainte-Beuve, 9 rue Sainte-Beuve, 75006. Tel 01 45 48 20 07. Fax 01 45 48 67 52. Doubles: 122-220 euros.
All is discretion and understatement at this essentially simple hotel with an innate sense of style and unexpectedly pampering touches. Bedrooms feel sophisticated and larger than they actually are with cream walls, attractive fabrics, country antiques, and pretty pictures. A log fire burns in the classically-styled salon, where there is also a cosy bar. Breakfast in bed is a treat, served promptly along with newspapers and including superb bread and croissants from Mulot. You need never leave your room: light dishes are served until 10pm.
Globe 15 rue des Quatre-Vents, 75006. Tel 01 43 26 35 50. Fax 01 46 33 62 69. Doubles: 66-100 euros.
For its combination of charm, location and price, this tiny quaint hotel is a winner. In a tall, narrow 17th-century building, once part of the Abbey of St-Germain-des-Prés, the bedrooms, off a little winding staircase, are snug, with sprouting beams; some also have rough-stone walls, gilt mirrors, church furniture and big wooden beds with lacy covers (No. 12 has a four-poster). Nos 15 and 16 on the ground floor have higher ceilings and feel more spacious than the rest. Breakfast is served in your room.

If you hanker after the opulence of a Jacques Garcia interior, but prefer a more low-key atmosphere, then head for L'Hôtel. Famous for its astonishing six-storey circular atrium, its connection with Oscar Wilde and its reign – in the 1970s and '80s – as the most louche and celebrity-studded hotel in town, L'Hôtel re-emerged two years ago from a period of tawdry decline. Garcia's opulent recreation of the hotel in its heyday conjures a mood of luxurious decadence, and in each of the 30 bedrooms he has created a different fantasy. Amongst the suites, lovers will adore Ottoman-inspired 'Pierre Loti' and 'Cardinal', with its pretty rooftop terrace. Those who can bear the tristesse can sleep in 'Oscar Wilde', the (now enlarged) room where the playwright expired beyond his means when the building was a crummy boarding house. Another amazing chambre de luxe contains the original mirrored Art Deco bedroom furniture of Mistinguett. The least expensive rooms are compact but dramatic, like sleeping in a velvet-lined jewel box. Best of all is the softly-lit stone-walled plunge pool which guests can book exclusively for an hour at a time. Accompanied by champagne, candlelight and nothing more than a couple of bathrobes, it's impossibly romantic.
Duc de St-Simon14 rue de St-Simon, 75007. Tel 01 44 39 20 20. Fax 01 45 48 68 25. Doubles: 200-320 euros.
First glimpsed through two pairs of elegant French windows beyond a charming courtyard, the interior of this stylish hotel looks deeply romantic and wonderfully inviting; and so it is. Everywhere you look are warm fabrics, gloriously overstuffed pieces of furniture and cleverly conceived paint effects; even the lift is lined in kelim. The richly coloured bedrooms are elegant yet cosy, with not a jarring note, as is the divine little cellar bar. The atmosphere is that of a gracious private house, with TVs only on request and swift room service instead of mini-bars. Prices aren't cheap, but they are more than fair. A suite here will cost you just 20 euros more per night than Costes' smallest double room. The perfect choice for an anniversary or a second honeymoon.
And some more….

Doubles: 107-260 euros.The top-floor suite of this otherwise ordinary hotel has to be the most romantic bedroom in Paris, and a bargain to boot. Why? It's circled by a broad private terrace with breathtaking views of the whole city. Breakfast here on a sunny morning is unforgettable.
Esmeralda 4 rue St-Julien-le-Pauvre, 75005. Tel 01 43 54 19 20. Fax 01 40 51 00 68.

Bateau Jolia 11 quai St-Bernard, 75005. Tel 01 43 54 03 46. Fax 01 43 29 79 15. $650 per night (3 nights min).For the ultimate escape, this hotel with a difference has no other guests.

Formerly the Croisés, but recently renamed to celebrate its starring role in the film All About Charlie, this dignified hotel, largely unchanged for generations, has masses of old-fashioned character and spacious bedrooms.
Relais Saint Germain 9 carrefour de l'Odéon, 75006. Tel 01 44 27 07 97. Fax 01 46 33 45 30. Doubles: 270-390 euros.

(PRWEB) February 25, 2013
Today, Edifecs, Inc., a leading healthcare software provider specializing in regulatory compliance solutions for State Medicaids, health plans and other healthcare organizations, announced that CNSI has chosen the company as its strategic partner for ICD-10.
CNSI, the organization designated to manage ICD-10 transition for the State of Michigan will be deploying Edifecs ICD-10 Impact Analytics, Code Management, and Test Management, which together support the end-to-end lifecycle of an ICD-10 project. The Edifecs ICD-10 solution provides risk analysis, greater efficiency, increased accuracy in mapping ICD-9 codes to ICD-10, and better map utilization to ensure healthcare entities can take the right approach to ICD-10.
Edifecs will work with CNSI to manage deployment of the ICD-10 solution as a critical component of the overall ICD-10 remediation project. "We believe the Edifecs ICD-10 solution will effectively augment our efforts on this important engagement with the State of Michigan," said Sharif Hussein, senior vice president of the Mid-West region at CNSI.
Specifically, CNSI selected Edifecs to work on the State of Michigan Community Health Department ICD-10 project because of its ability to assess, prioritize and mitigate risks associated with each stage of the ICD-10 transition. The Edifecs ICD-10 solution enables healthcare organizations to identify relationships between ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes, simplify and improve the accuracy of mapping between the code sets and perform comprehensive testing using historical claims data. The solution's mapping, scoring and ontology approach helps analysts generate maps with greater clinical equivalency between ICD-9 and ICD-10—thereby enabling a direct path toward clinical and operational neutrality.
"CNSI and Edifecs have been working together for many years. We have shared many successes and believe Edifecs is a valuable partner in this effort," stated Jay Majmudar, senior vice president of Information Technology and Partner Relations at CNSI.
"We are pleased to be working with CNSI to support the State of Michigan Community Health Department with its ICD-10 migration," said Sunny Singh, CEO of Edifecs. "The Edifecs ICD-10 solution is ideal for helping State Medicaids address their ICD-10 challenges and achieve clinical and operational neutrality across the transition."

|About this Recording
NA0022 - HEYER, G.: Convenient Marriage (The) (Abridged)
Georgette Heyer (1902–1974)
Normally, notes like this give warning of a plot point about to be discussed. But it is not giving too much away to say that in The Convenient Marriage, the impetuous heroine marries the saturnine and enigmatic hero. There are two reasons for this not being a great surprise. One is that it happens very early in the book, and so can hardly be said to be the climax. The other is that, to be blunt, surely the impetuous heroine marries the enigmatic hero in every romance; isn't that what 'romance' means?
Yes and no. On the one hand, there is no point in pretending that Heyer's 35 or so Regency romances have significantly differing plots. On the other, when in The Convenient Marriage Horry proposes to the Earl of Rule, it is a genuine surprise for several reasons, and just the kind to delightfully engross the reader, even as it makes Horatia's mother reach for her vinaigrette. Heyer knew what she was doing; how to make each book sufficiently different to entertain, while satisfying the core requirements of the genre (one which she essentially invented) and allowing her to upset certain conventions. And her audience, then and now, loved it; because they knew what to expect, too, and were prepared to judge the books on those merits. They were, and are, in on the game.
It seems from this distance that Georgette Heyer emerged fully formed as the romantic novelist with a particular taste for the Regency period, so completely is she associated with it. But she wrote works that delved 700 years further back in English history; considered her magnum opus to be a three-part novel about the Lancasters; suppressed some of her contemporary novels; and wrote detective novels and thrillers too, as well as short stories. She was enormously successful (first print runs for a Heyer novel would be over 65,000), hard-working, aware of her responsibilities as a writer, professional, and dedicated. She was also averse to publicity. Her first great success was published during the General Strike, and was therefore free of any promotion at all. It went on to sell thousands, and she therefore decided that publicity was unnecessary for future writings. The Times did manage to persuade her to have a picture taken in 1970, but that was pretty much the extent of it. She regarded such self-aggrandisement with something approaching distaste, and her self-deprecation went so far that she once said: 'I think myself I ought to be shot for writing such nonsense'; although she went on to acknowledge that it was also 'good escapist literature…[and] very good fun'.
Her first book, The Black Moth (1921), was written as an entertainment for her haemophilic brother, but it was no great surprise that she was writing. Her father was himself an author who actively encouraged her; and she was close friends with authors Joanna Cannan and Carola Oman. It may not have been a surprise that she started writing, but once under way she never stopped. Her productivity was extraordinary, essentially a book a year for almost 50 years; her reputation being established quite early, with the huge success of These Old Shades (1926). By then, however, she had also published two contemporary, even experimental novels, and was to write two more. She was to suppress these (and one or two others) later in life. They dealt more directly with sex and death, two matters that Heyer was having to cope with herself at the time. Her father had died suddenly of a heart attack after a game of tennis with Heyer's fiancé, George Ronald Rougier, in 1925, whom she married shortly afterwards.
Rougier was a mining engineer and his work took him and his new wife to Tanganyika in East Africa and then Macedonia. But he left the job and in 1929 set up a sports shop in Horsham; this in effect meant that Heyer was now the principal breadwinner in the family, and soon to be a mother. So she wrote. She wrote contemporary novels, a novel about William the Conqueror, Regency novels, crime novels…and she worked. She prepared detailed notebooks on all aspects of the time in which she set her books and had a huge collection of reference works, with the result that the scholarship and detail in her books is almost flawless (there is one error: in The Masqueraders she mistakes the opening of White's club by one year—in her defence, in this instance she was writing just below the equator without any reference books to hand). In time, her husband became a barrister, and then a QC; but despite his success, she kept on writing, producing consistently popular books, avoiding the limelight, and in private being a charming, generous and amusing friend.
'Regency Romances', apart from being a slightly belittling title, is also somewhat inaccurate. The Regency proper only lasted between 1811 and 1820. Heyer's historical romances cover some years before and after these times, with The Convenient Marriage, for example, set in 1776. It is a point Heyer knew better than anyone. The period detail, and her evident dedication to and pleasure in it, is one reason why her novels are so good. They sound and feel right. The fashions, the books, the entertainments, the social activities, the behaviour, the styles, the slang—they have authenticity, and for a reader living 300 years after the time in which the books are set, they bring it to vivid life. They also reveal slight but telling aspects of their time. The impact of extremely high-stakes gambling on upper-class families was so severe that Parliament introduced sanctions on certain card games because the losses could be so great. It was a serious malaise, and Heyer incorporates it into the fabric of The Convenient Marriage with the unobtrusive significance that marks much of her historicity. Even the title is a deliberate play on the dubious, rakish mores of the time.
There is another area where Heyer goes beyond her many rivals. If the basic plots of romances are generally interchangeable, Heyer nevertheless makes a point of not being clichéd. We might know the hero and heroine are to marry; but this is never just a woman giving herself up to a dominant man and being thrilled at the chance to be dependant. Heyer's heroines aren't simpering, and her heroes aren't chauvinists. The types of love and marriage Heyer celebrates are those where the individuals make their choices for themselves, find shared happiness and can laugh both at themselves and with each other. This is perhaps her greatest strength, even above her sense of style, her dialogue and her detail. She is witty and knowing, not taking the book too seriously, but never underestimating it, either. As a result there is a current of intelligence and warmth running through her delightfully escapist romances in which the enigmatic hero marries the impetuous heroine.

"You have to be careful because a lot of them have a lot of added sugar," said Alissa Rumsey, a registered dietitian.
Eyewitness News took a walk through the Food Emporium with Alissa Rumsey, a Registered Dietitian with New York Presbyterian Hospital.
Sugary cereals are number one on the list of healthy food choices that aren't as healthy as you think. Rumsey says the best cereal choices have fewer than eight grams of sugar.
Number two on the list is pretzels. It's all just refined white flour with no little nutritional value.
And number three: "A lot of people reach for the veggie chips. But it's really not that much vegetable, it's more potato and corn," Rumsey said.
A good alternative to both is natural popcorn.
"And you even have to be careful with ground turkey. It can have a much fat as ground beef," Rumsey said.
Therefore ground turkey is number four on the list.
You think low calorie artificial sweeteners work, think again. That's number five.
"Yes, it's calorie free but it kind of tricks your body into craving more sugar," Rumsey said.
Leading to the reason why diet soda isn't good for you, that's number six on our list.
"This is my favorite part of the story because you're giving us the green light to eat ice cream," Eyewitness News reporter Darla Miles said.
Last but not the least, frozen yogurt is number seven on the list.
"A lot of frozen yogurts add more sugar," Rumsey said.
Finally some good news!

Programming Note: Watch Super Bowl XLVI live, Sunday at 3 p.m. on NBCSports.com. Pregame simulcast will kick off at 11 a.m.
Former 49ers quarterback and NFL Hall-of-Famer Joe Montana appeared on NBC SportsTalk on Thursday night and analyzed this weekend's Super Bowl XLVI between the Giants and Patriots. Joe Montana on Eli Manning's development: "I think he's found a way to come off the first guy (receiver) a little bit sooner, and finding different ways to keep the ball moving, instead of trying to make plays all the time. Quarterback's about making plays when they happen, but not trying to make plays unless it comes down to that part of the game where 'hey, I gotta make a throw, you know, to keep this thing alive.' And that's what I think has been the biggest change for him."
Montana on stopping Tom Brady:"The key is the Giants' front-four against Tom. If you can get Tom to play the way he played the last time they played during the regular season (a 24-20 Giants win in Week 9), then you got a chance to win. But if you can't move him around, and he stands in there, I don't think they got a chance."

CHAPEL HILL � Deon Thompson scored a career-high 23 points and No. 11 North Carolina beat pesky Nevada 80-73 on Sunday night to give coach Roy Williams his 600th career victory.
CHAPEL HILL � Deon Thompson scored a career-high 23 points and No. 11 North Carolina beat pesky Nevada 80-73 on Sunday night to give coach Roy Williams his 600th career victory.
Ed Davis added 16 points, 15 rebounds and a pair of momentum-changing blocked shots late for the Tar Heels (6-1), who endured an uncharacteristic second-half slump, warmed up down the stretch with an 11-3 spurt and hit 4 of 7 free throws in the final minute to dodge Nevada's upset bid.
Armon Johnson scored 20 points on 10-of-20 shooting and Luke Babbitt added 15 points and 11 rebounds to lead Nevada (2-3). The Wolf Pack shot 41 percent and held the Tar Heels without a field goal for five minutes before missing 10 of their final 14 shots.
That was enough to make Williams the 33rd coach in Division I history to reach the 600-victory mark. He improved to 600-139 in his 22nd season and became the eighth active coach to hit that milestone.
But for a while, that landmark victory seemed like anything but a certainty against a Wolf Pack team playing the second game of a three-game 5,731-mile road swing.
Larry Drew II finished with 12 points and a career-high 10 assists, and hit two 3-pointers 45 seconds apart during the burst that gave the Tar Heels just enough breathing room to avoid the Wolf Pack's upset bid.
Thompson started the decisive burst with a layup through traffic that put North Carolina up 62-61. That also ended the 5-minute string of offensive futility in which the Tar Heels missed eight consecutive shots and their only points came on a pair of free throws by Drew.
Will Graves put North Carolina ahead to stay with a stickback with about 6� minutes remaining, Drew followed that with 3s from the left wing and right corner and Thompson capped the run with a turnaround jumper with 3� minutes left that gave him a career scoring high and made it 74-67. The Wolf Pack didn't get closer than five the rest of the way.
Williams wore a sling on his left arm while coaching his first game since having surgery last week to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder. But the apparatus didn't seem to frustrate him nearly as much as the Wolf Pack did in keeping things tight throughout.
Dario Hunt scored 12 points before fouling out in the final moments and Joey Shaw added 11 for Nevada, which was denied its first road win of the season. Two nights earlier, the Wolf Pack lost at Virginia Commonwealth and they still must visit Pacific on Dec. 5 before returning home.
Marcus Ginyard finished with 10 points on 4-of-11 shooting for the Tar Heels, who next face a championship-game rematch with second-ranked and fellow once-beaten Michigan State on Tuesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. North Carolina beat the Spartans 89-72 last April in Detroit to win its fifth NCAA title.

Using Distance Profiles to Identify Peer Cities
Once you leave the Eastern Seaboard public transportation in the United States is a local affair. The type of service you find in a city depends on the interplay among several factors including total population, population density, geography of roads and terrain, demographic patterns, development patterns, local and state politics and values, and local agency funding structure. In this post, I use a tool published by the US Census Bureau called Distance Profiles to analyze potential peer cities. The Distance profile provides a cross section of Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) populations that allows us to visually identify cities with very similar population distributions, geographic size, and density distributions. Using this tool we can make an informed comparison of Louisville's transit system and those of true peer cities.
Once we identify our peer cities we have to be careful. All of our peer cities' transit systems are somewhat different and it doesn't necessarily mean one city's public transit system is more or less effective. Measurements of "effectiveness" must be based on the public transit values that each local community chooses for itself. Cities always make tradeoffs between coverage and ridership within a fixed budget. A city that values coverage will design a network that tries to deliver public transit opportunities to every corner of the service area. A city that values ridership will concentrate their resources on the high volume corridors to try and deliver maximize ridership. The former provides lots of access to service but with very low frequency. The latter leaves many areas unserved but provides much more frequent service along selected corridors. All cities try to balance these goals based on additional values including social service concerns, the desire to influence development patterns, mitigation of pollution, and congestion reduction, and fall somewhere along a continuum from maximum coverage to maximum ridership. We can also look at a peer city's budget and facilities which will tell us more about the community's public transit values and perhaps operational efficiency.
We will address these ideas in a later post, but before we can do that, we need to identify our peer cities based on their Distance Profiles. Then we can evaluate their transit systems and infer the community values illustrated by their transit system choices and decide what if any elements of that system we can emulate.
Population Profiles
The Distance Profile includes two metrics: population by distance from city hall and population weighted density by distance from city hall. The results for each MSA are plotted on line graphs where each point represents a circular band of land one mile wide with each successive band radiating outward from the city center. The geometry of this metric results in each successive band having a greater area. The resulting graph has a peak at the band with the greatest population or density then falls off as the bands contain more and more rural areas. Take a look at Louisville's graphs. Continue reading
Section of Legacy Rails Removed at 38th and Market
In an unfortunate example of the right hand not talking to the left, in the dark of night on June 9th, two six foot sections of double rail streetcar
tracks were destroyed to make room for faux cobblestone crosswalks. You would think that city construction crews would have been briefed about what NOT to do when archaeological artifacts are encountered. It is not clear what the rules are about dealing with the tracks but indications are that city officials do care about these assets.
In an email exchange between John Owen, candidate for the 5th district Metro Council seat and public works official Dirk Gowan, Gowan said:
"I apologize for the confusion on the tracks, it was my responsibility to assure the tracks were destroyed, and assure you that the extension of the project will not destroy other sections of the track."
A typo? I think he meant …"to assure the tracks were NOT destroyed." Anyway, we hope so.
It is not beyond imagining that someday Metro Louisville will want to add streetcars to the urban landscape for all the right reasons. Dallas and other cities have been able to save millions in capital expense by reusing legacy tracks.
Therefore preservation of these valuable assets should be the rule. And the rule should be codified through the Landmarks Commission. In any case a professional development workshop for public works construction crews on proper treatment of archaeological assets is certainly in order.
Suburban Walmart Design on West Broadway
Big Box Retailer Wants Suburban Big Box in Traditional Workplace Form District
After months of speculation, intrigue, rumors and political controversy, Walmart is now preparing to build a super store in West
Louisville. The Walmart property located at the corner of 18th (Dixie Highway) and Broadway falls within a Traditional Workplace Form District, a designation defined by Louisville's Land Development Code. According to the LOJIC Online Map, this Traditional Workplace is adjacent to the Broadway Traditional Marketplace Corridor and in close proximity to the Town Center Form District centered at 28th and Broadway and Traditional Neighborhood Form Districts both north and south of the Traditional Workplace. The Traditional Workplace Form District is described as follows:
"The Traditional Workplace Form District applies to older established industrial and employment areas that contain primarily small-to-medium scale industrial and employment uses. These uses are often historically integrated with or adjacent to residential neighborhoods, especially traditional neighborhoods. District standards are designed to encourage adaptive reuse and investment in these areas while ensuring compatibility with adjacent uses and form districts, to ensure adequate access and transit service, and to retain distinctive land uses and patterns such as connected street grids."

Move Louisville Project Could Guide the Future of Louisville Transportation and Urban Character
The Move Louisville project began as the outcome of massive public input to Mayor Greg Fischer's Vision Louisville project. A top community priority based on the number of public comments received by the city was for a better metro area transportation system. The mayor's office of Economic Development and Innovation is the lead department and Metro Government is investing $775,000 ($600,000 federal grant, $125,000 city matching funds, $25,000 from TARC) to develop a comprehensive transportation infrastructure plan including roads, public transit, bicycle, and pedestrian infrastructure. At this time there are over six hundred discrete projects on the candidate project map. The implementation timeline on the Vision Louisville website says <5 years to completion but considering the number and scope of potential projects, implementation is likely to stretch out to 20 years with projects ranging from bicycle lanes to freeway relocations and mass transit. It's not that any single project would take 20 years but there are so many and with a comprehensive city-wide scope, the requisite public battles over individual plans, and the competition for limited local, state and federal money progress won't be quick. We will be guided by the Move Louisville plan for a long time. On the other hand, if the city's intention is to only select projects that can be built in five years then most of the ambitious projects will not make the cut. We will know soon.
CART to Present Oral Arguments in Bridges Case
The following is a guest post from Clarence Hixson, CART's Legal Counsel. Oral arguments appealing the 6th District's dismissal of CART's law suit will take place before the US 6th District Court of Appeals in Cincinnati on June 25th. We asked Mr. Hixson for a status report and asked him a couple of key questions. Below are his responses.
Why did the Appeals Court agree to hear oral arguments?
The final decisions of Federal District Court, ( in this case Judge Heyburn's Final Order earlier this year dismissing all 20 of CART's claims made in the Complaint) can be appealed to the Court of Appeals as a matter of right. The appeal has to be taken in compliance with federal civil Rule 4 and other rules providing a time limit for filing. CART's appeal is not frivolous and states the jurisdiction and cause of action under the Administrative Procedures Act, NEPA and Title VI. Generally, the Appeal alleges that Judge Heyburn committed error in dismissing all the NEPA Claims and in denying the Motion for a Trial on the issue of intentional discrimination on the basis of race
by the decisions the states made and the subsequent project approval by FHWA.
All through Judge Heyburn's Opinion he referred to the LSIORBP as an exceptionally significant project: The Court had serious questions as to CART's standing through member Mattie Jones to make discrimination claims, but, "Again, due to the public nature of this suit and the import of CART's Title VI claims, the Court will nevertheless address their substance."

Have you ever wanted your very own garden to tend to? Are you very much in love with Japanese culture? Are you a fan of any of deck building adventure games? Well then, have I found the right game for you! Enter Shikihime Garden, a card and simulator game played entirely inside your browser. Don't worry if you can't pronounce the name, there will be plenty more waiting for you inside the game. When I first heard about this game, I must admit, I am usually not interested in these types of games at all. But once I started playing Shikihime Garden, I got hooked on it pretty quick. It's easy to lose track of time while playing this game, that is, if you know how to progress at least. Needless to say, let me inform you a little bit more about what mysteries await you in Shikihime Garden.
This is my garden. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
When you first enter the game, you receive a quick tutorial of what is going on and what you have to do, and a small piece of story in the form of a poem. There is not much to say about it really. You are tasked with tending to the garden, which at first, is completely empty. It is up to you to fill it with all sorts of ornaments, and of course, Shikihime's! Shikihime literally means, Four Seasons Princess, and these femme fatales are collected via cards you win in battle or by opening Summons (boosterpacks). Like I said, there was nothing much going on in the story section. Once you have your starting deck set up, you enter the map section, and pick a location where you want to try out your deck. Sometimes the Shikihime's banter with each other once they spend a certain amount of time in your garden, or after you have completed certain quests.
As for the art style of the game, everything is extremely Japanese influenced, from the ornaments you can place in your garden, the Shikihime's you collect and the monsters you fight. Since it's a Japanese port, there are some minor flaws in grammar and spelling, so if you are a person that can not handle these types of errors (read; Engrish), then I don't think this is a game for you.
Sandals and cloths and rats, oh my!
Let's get on with the combat, how the hell does it work? Well, combat in Shikihime Garden is fairly simple. In combat, all you can do is hit the "fight" button and your Shikihime's (or monster cards if you prefer those) attack your opponent at complete random. You can also switch out one or more of your 5 cards for one of your other 5 cards during combat, for if they are low on HP, or if you are up against card types that would wreck your card types.
There are three types of cards: Red, blue and green. This card system works like the tried and true rock, paper, scissors concept. Red beats green, green beats blue and blue beats red. So in my opinion, the actual combat isn't as important as the thought you put into what your deck looks like before starting it. This means, putting the right cards in the right order before you even enter a battle.
In Shikihime Garden, the cards you collect can level up, be given items, and may differ in rarity and stats. Like I said earlier, you can have a maximum of 10 cards in your deck at any given time. But the amount of cards you can collect is infinite. So, once you have a few of your favorite cards set out for yourself, you can choose to level these cards up by combining the exp from other cards you have collected that you don't use. Be careful though which cards you choose to destroy by combining them, I combined one of my stronger cards into a weaker card, resulting in me losing one of my rarer and more stronger card forever. Stat boosting items you collect from rewards, or buy at the shop, can all be used to improve your existing cards as well, making you feel like you are progressing significantly when you boost your cards to max level, and defeat that annoying boss you were first unable to take down. (I'm talking to you, catfish monster!)
But, there is a flaw in the combat system as it is now. Aside from the combat being rather simple, that's not even its weakest point. What the combat looks like now, it feels like they could have done so much more to improve the visual aspect of this feature. For instance, the Shikihimes that walk around in your garden, all have their own sprites and animations. Why is it that once you go into battle, they are only cards and not fully featured warrior princesses with combat animations and everything? If I could improve one thing in the game, it would definitely be this.
Check out my garden, and I'll check out yours!
The other features presented in Shikihime Garden, might surprise you. There is a lot to do once you get the ball rolling, especially once you lose yourself in all the quests you can complete. The quests in turn introduce you to all the other features in the game, one by one. For instance, one quest forces you to join a guild. If you don't complete it you aren't even able to progress any further in the game.
Yes you can actually join a guild in this game! And it is a rather social game too. You can visit other peoples gardens, you can battle other people with your deck and there are daily events to attend too. Also, your garden is more important than you think. This special place can heal your Shikihime's back up to full health with the power of rice balls made by your rice ball vendor! You can put all sorts of stuff in your garden that will end up buffing your Shikihime, so it's vital to know that the whole Gardening simulation feature isn't just a cosmetic one.
There is certainly lots to be seen in Shikihime Garden. It is however, not your conventional card game, especially when you compare to other big hitters like Hearthstone or Magic: The Gathering. But, what makes the game so great, is that it combines a bit of both worlds. Deck building feels like you're playing a Pokémon game, and the whole social and Gardening features, feels like you're part of an MMO. In terms of content, there is definitely a lot to explore here, with all the different cards you can collect. This game however, isn't for you if you dislike the girly Japanese influenced art style. Another thing that also bothered me, were tacky combat visuals, and an oversimplified combat system overall. But other than that, Shikihime Garden isn't all that bad!
- Great Japanese art style.
- Cool social features
- Customizing Garden and building decks is genuinely fun
- Flaws in English spelling & grammar
- Tacky combat visuals
- Oversimplified combat

German City Resources
You'll find many of the cities on our German map and some smaller gems in our Germany Travel Planning Guide. For first time travelers, the two most popular German cities are Berlin and Munich. These two cities are quite different. Berlin is a vibrant art city, buzzing with energy and loaded with interesting museums--and it's still a bit of a bargain for European travelers. Munich is in the heart of Bavaria; it's a city centered in a beautiful rural area, full of tradition. Munich exemplifies what we foreigners are likely to think of when we think of Germany.
The rest of Germany's top cities to visit are on the map. Our Germany Travel site has a list of Germany's Top 10 Cities with more information.

Accommodation in Germany
Germany has a number of lodging options available to the tourist, from home stays to castle stays. There are generally a number of hotels around German train stations. For longer stays, consider renting an apartment or vacation home. See: Self Catering - Vacation Home Rentals to learn more.
One of my favorite booking agents for lodging in Europe is Venere because it offers user reviews from people who actually stay in a place.
Trains Germany has an efficient train network. There are often specials on tickets, especially on weekends, so when you ask for a ticket at the window, inquire about specials. I've taken a one hour later train than I originally proposed for a significant discount.
Here are some useful resources for taking the train in Germany:
- See if a German Rail Pass Makes Sense for You
- Plan Your Itinerary by Rail
Buses A recent liberalisation of bus monopolies has allowed for a several new bus companies to spring up in Germany. They are are invariably much cheaper than the train and sometimes cover routes that the trains do not:
Also, for routes out of Germany into Eastern Europe, you have the following:
- Polskibus To Poland
- Lux Express To Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. Incorporating Simple Express
- Orangeways To Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.
Driving Germany is justifiably proud of its autobahn - a high speed transportation network that gets you quickly around the country. These days, some sections of autobahn are prone to slowing, and German maps will mark those problem areas. The suggested speed limit in most clear areas in 130 km/hr, or roughly 80 mph. Smaller roads are generally in good repair.
Weather and Climate: When to Go
Germany's weather is primarily temperate. Berlin's temperature, for example, is more moderate than you might expect, the lowest average low occurs in January at 26 degrees F. The highest high occurs in July and August at 73 degrees F. There is measurable precipitation (wet days) more than half the days of the year. [Berlin historic averages]
Germany is a good place to go in summer, when Italy, France and Spain swelter. But the best time to go to southern Germany may well be autumn, when the colors are brightest and the wine is being harvested. This is the time for festivals celebrating wine and the harvest.

Regional Germany Maps and Travel Planners
Many of Germany's States or "regions" are well known to Tourists. Bavaria, of course, is probably the most well-known of the states. Baden Wurttemberg, in the southwest corner of Germany, is also quite popular, even though its name is unfamiliar. Lake Constance is here, as well as Karlsruhe, the "gateway to the Black Forest." The Castle Road passes through, and there are plenty of wine towns like Freiburg. And everyone's favorite medieval village, Rothenburg ob der Tauber is just outside the boundary of Baden Wurttemberg in a corner of Bavaria.

Auto Museums in Germany - Many of Europe's finest automobiles are designed and built in Germany, so where else would you look if you wanted to chart their past or see their experimental and racing models? You can also head out to a unique race track that's also an autobahn to test your driving skills--Driving Germany's Nurburgring Race Track on Your Vacation.
Cycling Germany - Germany is criss-crossed by numerous cycling trails. It's easy to get around on a bike.
