11:30 p.m., Havighurst Hall

Two girls were huddled beside an MUPD officer across from a room in Havighurst. The girls, clutching water bottles and dressed to go out, tried to peer inside the room and ask the officer questions that he couldnt answer about their friend the one inside waiting for an ambulance.

She was curled up in bed, engulfed in blankets with her head in another friends lap. The friend rubbed her back and held a trash can below her mouth. Soft, yellow string lights illuminated the five other girls and two MUPD officers crowding the room, and a Dont worry bee happy sign hung over them.

I just joined a sorority, the girl wailed. I dont wanna get in trouble.

Honey, said a girl leaning on her desk, dressed in a crisp pink sweater and jeans. Youre not gonna get in any trouble.

Everyone watched anxiously as the girl waiting for the ambulance continued to throw up and, when she could, moan about how mad her mom was going to be.

When the ambulance arrived, the officers asked if she thought she could walk downstairs. She couldnt. Her friends helped her out of bed and the officers each supported her with one arm.

Is she gonna be coming back tonight? her roommate asked.

The officers didnt think so.

The girl apologized for the inconvenience, but everyone told her not to worry.

Youre not the first one tonight, an officer said. And you wont be the last one, thats for sure.

11:58 p.m., North Quad

They came from Brick Street. Their drinks came from boys.

Theyd really thought their friend was okay, until they reached North Quad thats when shed begun struggling to walk on her own. Then she couldnt hold her own head up.

The officers advised the girls to help their friend into the backseat of the nearest cop car. They managed to get her seated, legs stretched out onto the icy pavement. She slumped against the seat, and both he and a friend had to support her neck as he gave her a Breathalyzer test.

Whoo, he said at the results. He alluded that she was close to the magic number, .2, the level at which people can lose the ability to walk and communicate before losing consciousness altogether.

One officer called for an ambulance.

The rest asked her gaggle of friends, whose only defense against the 10-degree weather was crop tops and cropped jeans, how they could stand the cold.

Worry, her roommate said, cracking a humorless smile. Warms you up.

Their RA came bounding outside, a big black parka swallowing her tiny frame. Half of her blonde hair had come loose from its ponytail on the journey from Brandon Hall. She wrapped her arms around the roommate and another girl and asked if she could ride in the ambulance.

The officers said yes. They waited.

1:03 a.m., Armstrong Student Center

These girls hadnt called the MUPD, and they werent planning on it. But they were lucky MUPD drove by and saw them outside Armstrong, they were told, because their friend was critically intoxicated.

The friend sat on the frozen curb, head sagging down between her knees.

The officer pulled over and asked if she was okay.

Were fine, officer, one of the seven people clustered around her said, waving him off. Were totally fine. Thank you.

How much did you have to drink tonight? the officer asked.

19? Probably 19, the girl slurred.

She did not have 19 drinks, one of her friends said. Shes fine.

She wasnt. When the officer stepped out of the car to help her stand up, she vomited clear, plentiful and as the officer pointed out, almost entirely alcohol.

He called for an ambulance.

He asked the remaining three other girls where shed been and how much theyd really had to drink, but they didnt know. One had seen her struggling at New Bar and recognized her from her pledge class; sisterly obligation spurred her to help the girl home. Theyd met the other two on Slant Walk.

All three girls helped her into the warmth of the cop cars backseat while they waited.

Will you call my roommate? Will you text her? she asked. My mom is gonna be so mad.

Dazed, she paused and squinted out at the street. The cars pulsating red-and-blue lights illuminated the sheen of sweat coating her face.

I dont know where I am, she said, panicked.

The officer told her she was waiting for an ambulance and would be okay.

Theres about to be so many people in the hospital, her sorority sister said.

1:24 a.m., McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital

Its too early for this, said an MUPD officer outside McCullough-Hyde. Theyve got beds stacked up.

He mentioned the possibility of diverting incoming patients to nearby hospitals.

The girl we found outside Armstrong had already arrived. Two girls whod helped her waited in the lobby, laughing at something on one of their phones. Theyd met on the walk home.

At 1:29 a.m., the MUPD was on its way to Dennison Hall. An RA had called about an intoxicated resident.

First TMS Patient Health Data Management System for US Physicians Launched - Business News Wales

NEWBURYPORT Depression has been part of American medical culture for as long as records have been kept.

Keith Ablow, a veteran psychiatrist, recently added to his toolkit for treating it, introducing a novel technology billed as a non-medicinal treatment for depression.

This technology can be used instead of medication, said Ablow, who is also a well-known author. It can be appropriate for those who are profoundly depressed or for whom other solutions have not been successful.

This is a well-tolerated solution that the data shows is very effective.

His mini-practice is known as New England TMS, and his office is one of the few in northern New England to be employing thetechnology, known as dTMS, or deep Transcranial Magnetic Simulation.

The treatment involves a machine which is designed to stimulate under-active areas of the brain.

The procedure is performed in an office on Green Street, although Ablow still maintains is traditional psychiatric practice on Water Street.

The patient is fitted with a padded helmet-like device attached to a console to provide non-invasive brain stimulation to neurons within a targeted area of the brain.

No sedation is required, and the patient is awake and alert during treatment sessions.

Ablow said magnetic stimulation is delivered to the left prefrontal cortex of the brain, similar to the magnetic process used for an MRI.The stimulation activates nerve cells in the brain, and this relieves symptoms of depression, anxiety and many other maladies, according to Brainsway, the company that produces the hardware.

It can address treatment-resistant depression, post-traumatic stress syndrome and even anxiety about the inability to stop smoking, said Ablow.

The technology is patented and registered by the National Institutes of Health, according to New England TMS.

The technology has been proven in more than 60 clinical tests worldwide, said Ablow.

The psychiatrist said the recommended treatment is daily sessions for four to six weeks.

After a 30-minute treatment, the patient can go back to work or home.

Ablow has been an innovator and a high-visibility medical professional during his two decades in this area.

A graduate of Brown University (with highest honors) and Johns Hopkins University Medical School, he completed his training at Tufts/New England Medical Center.

He has authored 16 books, and has written frequently on new topics in psychiatry for newspapers including the New York Times and the Washington Post.Ablow is currently a contributor to Fox-TV news.

The doctor said a full treatment would cost $15,000, adding that most insurance policies cover at least half the series of procedures. He said his office works with patients to enable them to afford the treatment.

Company literature states that the most common side effects are headaches and local discomfort, both usually temporary and mild.

Other side effects may include muscle twitching and jaw pain.

Local patients were not available for comment.

Ablow cited his concern for confidentiality, but hisoffice, which has about 35 patients, released these remarks from two patients.

A patient identified as Brian, from Maine, said, I am in a much better place now than when I began. Thank you to a great team of people to work with!

A patient identified as Mary, from Massachusetts, said,I have had such a great experience with New England TMS. When I came on the first day, I was nervous and had a lot of questions which the team was able to answer and put me at ease.

They made sure I was comfortable with the settings on the TMS machine and the rate at which I progressed to a therapeutic level. Each time I came I felt like it was a nurturing environment.

Jarek Sorenson works to roll his opponent over during the Thermopolis Middle School quad.

by Mark Dykes

Last week saw 10 middle school wrestlers hitting the mats during the Thermopolis Quad Tuesday, January 31.

The boys wrestled against Lander and Riverton, and came away from the home competition with 13 wins and seven losses.

Sean Johansen lost by a 2:04 fall to Tallen Anderson of Lander, but won by a 1:31 fall over Hunter Peterson of Riverton.

Carson Williams won by a 59-second fall over Gabe Harris of Lander, but lost by a 2:21 fall to Angel Monroe of Riverton.

Wyatt McDermott won by 10-5 decision against Blaize Laird of Lander, and by a 3-1 decision against Elisha Hernandez of Riverton.

Landon Sosa won by 13-9 decision against Gage Bailey of Lander, but lost by 9-4 decision to Kaden Toman of Riverton.

Roedy Farrell won by a 50-second fall over Ryan Edinger of Lander, and by 14-2 decision against Dalton Leach of Riverton.

Matt Music won by a 36-second fall over Mark Mock of Lander, but lost by 6-2 decision against Dalen Draper of Riverton.

Jarek Sorenson won by a 57-second fall over Sean Williamson of Lander, but lost by a 59-second fall to Brandon Kautz of Riverton.

Austin Barral lost by a 2:12 fall to Jaden Rivera of Lander, and won by a 4-0 decision against Kris Topan of Riverton.

Logan Cole won by a 50-second fall over Mason Hutson of Lander, and by a 45-second fall over Blake Walters of Riverton.

Charlie Sandberg lost by a 1:24 fall to Talon Anderson of Lander, and won by a 1:28 fall over Kaden Hinkle of Riverton.

Coach Toby Emery said the matchups were good during the quad. The only downfall, he noted, was they only wrestled 10 kids compared to other schools who had over double that. This meant the Bobcats had to show how they can stay ready and prepared, as sitting for an hour before hitting the mat wouldn't do them any favors.

All of the boys wrestled well, Emery said, and they've had the weekend off so he hopes they come into this week fresh and ready to practice for the conference at Powell this Saturday.

Emery added Barral has really come along this season and is wrestling with better technique, and Johansen is really stepping up and has more confidence. Overall, he said, the team has been evolving bit by bit each week, and the conference will be a true test for them. He hopes to see the boys step up and beat kids to whom they have lost in the past.

The conference at Powell is scheduled to begin Saturday at 10 a.m.

Editors Note: The following column by J.P. Wiggins, vice president of logistics, 3Gtms, is part of Moderns Other Voices column. The series features ideas, opinions and insights from end-users, analysts, systems integrators and OEMs. Click here to learn about submitting a column for consideration.

Lots of supply chains are dealing with the Amazon effect, which has led consumers to demand lightning-fast (and free) delivery times, last-minute order changes, and 100 percent order accuracy. While initially seen as just a retail problem, these expectations have been extended to the B2B world as well.

Managing the Amazon effect requires a host of solutions, but a transportation management system (TMS) is often overlooked. A TMS is critical for the execution of an order, and this is especially true as order cycles shorten and shipment sizes shrink. Any transportation manager would agree that if these customer behaviors arent properly managed, theyre going to drive up costs.

If youre concerned about the demands and expectations around your orders and deliveries, part of the answer may literally be at your fingertips. But please note that not all TMS systems will be able to handle the scenarios and options I describe below. Only a Tier 1, multi-modal TMS that was designed in the last several years will have the architecture and flexibility to respond in such a dynamic environment.

Real-time planning A TMS can bridge the gap between the order management system (OMS) and warehouse management system (WMS). By optimizing within the constraints of customer service, it can help consolidate customer orders and find the best mode and carriers to keep costs as low as possible while giving route planners the opportunity to dynamically optimize right up until the freight leaves the warehouse. This includes choosing the best cost/service option for all transportation modes, from parcel to LTL, along with multi-stop TL, pool distribution, FTL and intermodal while using real rates and services times for all modes.Allowing planners to hold onto freight as long as possible, but still keep releasing freight for shipping as needed, is especially important if trying to consolidate same-consignee freight as well as building multi-stop TLs.

A TMS can also shift from being a planning engine to an execution and visibility tool that monitors freight in transit: it knows which orders are on which shipments, along with service times for all modes. It can use logic and workflow to proactively monitor freight and automatically get status and location information from carriers as well as alert and respond automatically. In fact, I know of some shippers that ping their TMS to get the best mode selection and ship date requirements pre-WMS.

Leveraging pool distribution More and more shippers are seeing order sizes shrink, which makes routing all the more critical. In advanced scenarios, a TMS allows planners to optimize multi-stop TL freight and build pool distribution (this where a tight integration with both the OMS and WMS is important).

Pool distribution is a long-standing mode of transit that is seeing growth again. Like zone skipping for LTL freight, pool distribution provides a faster and cheaper method of delivery with more visibility and control. Its faster than straight LTL, as you use TL to get the freight to the local terminal and avoid LTL carrier terminal transfers.

With the right TMS, you can handle multi-leg moves and the associated cost/invoice allocation, which allows you to choose the best pool point and determine which shipments should be picked up or delivered. Routes are kept simple so you can break apart very complex orders and route them each separately. This is what gives you the all-important tactical savings; it lets you get creative about how you distribute freight and show your customers their savings. Optimizing your distribution network Thanks to e-commerce, many companies are finding that they need to be more than just a fulfilment company. That could mean light assembly, restocking or some other type of specialty tracking service thats required for better customer fulfillment as you create your own differentiators. For niche distributors that operate regionally, a TMS is invaluable. It can find the best partner distributors to act as the delivery agents, along with helping to acquire the freight and pay distributors.

When it comes to the Amazon effect of faster shipment demands, smaller orders, or other customer expectations, dont ignore your TMS. A modern TMS with the right design can operate dynamically and in real-time to help you maximize routes, deliveries, and your customers experience.

The rest is here:

Other Voices: Trying to manage the Amazon effect? Don't ignore ... - Modern Materials Handling

Over the last 4 years, I have released an annual analysis of the global transportation management systems (TMS) market. The research combines the analysis of large amounts of information with interviews with executives from numerous TMS software companies. The end result is the publication of ARCs TMS Global Market Research Study, which analyzes the market shares across numerous categories of the leading TMS suppliers. I am in the process of kicking off that research once again, with a final report ready to go live in the late March / early April timeframe.

One of the key pieces of information that I look at, aside from the market shares of TMS suppliers and the industries that are driving the market, is the growth factors for the market as a whole. These growth drivers have certainly been written about here on Logistics Viewpoints before, However, one thing that I have not blogged about, but do keep a close eye on, is the factors that could inhibit the growth of the TMS market. So today, I wanted to quickly highlight a few growth inhibitors that could have a long term impact on the TMS market.

The Global Economy

The US economy has made steady gains, and the dollar has gotten stronger. However, the global economy and slowing global trade could slow the growth of TMS. With the United Kingdoms exit from the EU, many are left to wonder how this will affect trade, and whether other countries will follow the UKs lead. In the US, President Trump has pulled the country out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact, and stirred up a lot of emotions and fears about the future state of global trade. All of these factors could slow global trade and the TMS market in turn.

LSPs Technological Sophistication is Increasing

Many suppliers sell robust TMS solutions they have developed. However, their sales of transportation managed services far exceed their standalone TMS deals. Historically, one of the leading complaints about logistics service providers (LSPs) was that their technology was not good enough. As LSPs overcome that barrier, potential TMS customers may increasingly choose the managed services path.

There is also an argument that a shipper needs to get to a certain level of sophistication before they can effectively make use of a TMS. Beginning with managed services can be a good starting point for these companies. The companies can then defer the TMS decision until their internal skills improve and may end up never going down the TMS path.

The Rise of Transportation Execution Solutions

Transportation execution (TE) systems and marketplaces allow shippers to connect to multiple carriers and then tender, track, and pay using the software or marketplace. These solutions do not feature optimization, but can certainly allow smaller organizations to connect to the carriers they use. These solutions are generally less expensive than a traditional TMS, but for smaller companies, they provide all the functionality that is needed.

Free TMS Solutions

Some brokerage companies offer a free TMS. The route guide is populated with carriers the broker has a relationship with, and the broker makes their money based on the spread between what shippers pay for the shipment and what the broker pays the carrier. Currently, the free TMS solutions optimization capabilities are limited. Further, the objectivity of such solutions can be questioned. But for many shippers, especially small shippers, free is hard to beat.

Conclusion

As I get ready to kick off another TMS market study, I will certainly keep a keen eye on the factors outlined above. Each of these plays a unique role in determining just how big the TMS market can get. The changing nature of global trade, and potential regulatory changes, will have the biggest impact when it comes to cross-border trade and commerce. But the alternative solutions for a traditional TMS, including the use of LSPs, transportation execution systems, and the rise of the free TMS, will certainly play a big role as well. Once my research and analysis is done, I should have some more answers.
