Peter Cohan, Contributor
I write about tech stocks and the startup economy.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella loves to talk about innovation. But Microsoft will never innovate in Redmond, Wash. For that, it needs to move to San Francisco. In Seattle, the lack of competing opportunity for its talent spurs complacency by employees and management.
But in San Francisco, rivalry for that talent would be fierce — forcing Microsoft to create an environment that gives top talent the chance to build market-share-grabbing products targeting big markets.
If it's serious about innovation, it must compete with the globe's best in its home town. Microsoft declined to comment.
I can hear the naysayers screaming already. Here are their cries:
Let's start by examining the most oft-admired and least understood terms in business: innovation. What does it mean? And more specifically, what would Microsoft do differently if it really did innovate?
Innovation means creating a product or service that delivers what I called in Hungry Start-up Strategy a quantum value leap (QVL) — a huge increase in what customers value for the price.
But innovation for a startup is easier than it is for a corporate giant with $83 billion in revenue. That's because if a startup delivers a QVL to a big market, its growth will skyrocket because it's starting from such a small base.
But for a company like Microsoft, innovation will only produce growth if the QVL is delivered to an enormous market so that its revenues can rapidly reach into the billions of dollars. Otherwise, the innovation will not generate enough of a financial impact to interest investors.
How can Microsoft create this kind of innovation? It needs to hire people who are true innovators and create a culture that motivates them to produce QVL-delivering products targeted at a huge market — as Apple did when it introduced the iPhone into an already-enormous cell phone market.
Microsoft cannot do this if it stays in Redmond. How so? First, it must realize that the world is not flat. There are enormous differences in the conditions — what I call the Startup Common – that produce entrepreneurship across different cities — even in the same state. For example, while Cambridge, Mass. is a hotbed of entrepreneurial activity, Worcester — about 40 miles away — is a startup desert.
While it is well-known that a great Startup Common should have excellent pillar companies, universities, human capital, venture capital, and mentors; one of the less touted factors is a region's values.
And when you compare different regions based on two values — risk appetite and investment horizon — you begin to see the most important reason that some regions have more entrepreneurship than others.
On those dimensions, Redmond is far less attractive to innovators than San Francisco. That's because investors and talented people there are highly risk averse and they expect to get a return in a very short time frame.
Seattle's potential entrepreneurs are afraid to leave Microsoft and its investors fight for majority control of start-ups. As he explained in April 2013, Gary Flake, then-CEO of Clipboard — which Salesforce.com acquired last May – believes "Seattle must overcome two big challenges to realize its full potential: the adversarial relationship among angel investors, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs and the risk-aversion of Microsoft's talent that is seeking a steady job with a good pension."
Flake has seen too many Seattle investors who got burned earlier in their investment career and are taking that out on their current start-ups. According to Flake, "Seattle investors are too quick to structure start-up investments so that the founder gets replaced quickly or must accept harsh terms for a second round financing."
Seattle's other limitation is that despite a hardiness born of living in a climate where it rains half the time, many people who work for big companies like Microsoft prefer the chance to have a long, well-paid career and retire with a comfortable pension. In short, Flake says, "It is hard to get talented people to leave that security for the risks of a start-up."
The obvious flaw in this ridiculous argument is so apparent it's laughable: If being in San Francisco was required for innovation, every company of every size would have to move there to innovate. It's left to the reader to realize the inanity of this statement — and the empirical evidence (the amazing number of innovators not in San Francisco) is mind boggling.
The real question is why Forbes' editors allow such drivel to be published.
Mr. Cohan misses the intent of my message: If Microsoft must move to San Francisco to avoid complacency, then it follows that every company who is dealing with complacency must move there. Bizarre.
No question SF has much more ripe startup culture than any other place n the planet. But — to call out Seattle for investors who get burned is quite misleading–the Bay Area has many more times the number of investors who gets burned. Flake seems to have a personal grudge that you use to generalize the entire area. If I were you, I'd spend some time here and find out how wrong he is. But if you like specific cases, go talk with the folks at Tableau.
With all respect to Peter, I don't agree with much that's in this article. My comments from about a year ago were focused entirely on startup ecosystems and the challenges that the northwest has relative to the silicon valley. I won't rehash any of that here other than to say that the strongest evidence for the disconnect between the two locations is the difference to valuation caps and note terms.
As for MS, I don't think there is any way that it should or could relocate to the valley. MS certainly has much to do in order to reclaim its former strength, but it can only do it with the help and support of it's Redmond employees.
Finally, I am not sure why Seattle Startup thinks I have a personal grudge. I had a very successful angel round by valley standards, but I located my company in the northwest which is also my chosen home. My angst on the issue is entirely based on the fact that I would love for others to be able to replicate my experience.
So, in short, I am betting long on Seattle.
Mr Flake…thank you for the note and I retract my comment (My incorrect assumption was based on the way you were referred to in the article).
Add in the $20B or so needed to compensate the 30,000 employees whom you are subjecting to California taxation. WA has no income taxes. All of their stock holdings will be subject to CA cap gains. Plus they need raises to offset the income tax.
Yes, since there's so much innovation in California. Last I checked they still hadn't put a usb port on an ipad.
Yes, because clearly Amazon and Starbucks haven't been able to recruit creative people and lead their industries.
Unnecessary, impractical and would likely be disastrous if ever attempted.
Microsoft's failure over the past decade is solely due to the inability of the top management, which was not to do geography but because of the entrenched holdover effects of Balmer and Gates holding on too long, both to the reins and an outdated worldview of computing.
You're seeing the same thing with Cisco (that "Cisco" part? That's from the word San Francisco) with Chambers.
If you have a world class leader that can see around corners, can come up with a forward looking strategy, and you pay market rates or above for great talent, Seattle's a great place (like many other cities) to be. Being in SF is not necessary to run a great company.

State Senator Joe Bolkcom, the new, incoming Chairman of the Board of Progressive States Network, welcomed Ann Pratt as the organization's new Executive Director in the following message [1] sent to Progressive States Network's supporters, friends, and partners today:
Dear Friends,
The work of Progressive States Network could not be more needed or important at this time in our history. Working people and the middle class are currently under assault in statehouses across the nation, while states face worsening budget crises and a conservative agenda focused on implementing policies that hurt families and communities.
For the past five years, Progressive States Network has been on the front lines of these battles, helping to build a national movement of advocates, legislators, and activists across multiple issue areas in all fifty states dedicated to protecting the economic security of working families and advancing prosperity for all.
As the new, incoming Chairman of Progressive States Network, I am proud to report that with new leadership of both our Board of Directors and staff, we are ready and prepared for the fights that lie ahead.
First, Progressive States Network's Board of Directors is thrilled to welcome Ann Pratt as Progressive States Network's new Executive Director. Ann brings the kind of vision and experience that will be critical in taking our work to the next level. Ann was most recently the Executive Director of the Connecticut Early Childhood Alliance, and brings to Progressive States Network thirty years of organizing experience working with a diverse cross-section of constituencies including local, state, and national community organizations as well as an extensive history of organizing work with faith leaders, parents, early care and education advocates, and labor. PSN's Board of Directors would like to thank the Hagedorn Foundation for its generous support of our executive search process through the Long Island Center for Nonprofit Leadership.
Second, Progressive States Network is pleased to welcome a new member to our Board, Ellen Bravo. Ellen is the Executive Director of Family Values @ Work Consortium, a former National Director of 9to5, the National Association of Working Women, and a national leader within the women's and work-life balance movements. In addition to being a valuable ally of Progressive States Network, Ellen also brings a wealth of organizational and strategic expertise to the leadership of PSN.
Progressive States Network's current good standing in the face of national challenges is due to the hard work of our board and staff under the leadership and vision of our outgoing Board Chairman, Texas Representative Garnet Coleman. Together with our current board and staff, I would like to offer my deep thanks to Rep. Coleman for his hard work and many contributions to our organization and our states. Under his leadership, Progressive States Network has built a strong foundation for advancing progressive state policies by developing relationships with key legislators and allies in every state in the country.
I would also like to recognize the dedicated, hard work of our officers Treasurer Lisa Seitz Gruwell and newly-elected Secretary Cathy Duvall of the Sierra Club, as well as that of our Board members Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema, Colorado Senator Morgan Carroll, Wisconsin Senator Spencer Coggs, Maryland Delegate Tom Hucker, Washington Senator Karen Keiser, Kerry Korpi of AFSCME, Georgia Senator Nan Orrock, former Maine House Speaker Hannah Pingree, and Inga Skippings of SEIU. Their commitment and leadership ensures that PSN is well-prepared for a bright future.
I come to my new responsibility as Chairman after serving three years on Progressive States Network's Board. I am an organizer at heart. Thirty years ago, I accepted an organizer position with Older Americans for Elderly Rights, where I worked to organize low and moderate income seniors in Western Illinois around health and income security issues. I'm now serving in my thirteenth year representing the residents of Iowa City in the Iowa Senate. I have also served as Assistant Majority Leader in the Iowa Senate, as a County Supervisor on the Johnson County Board of Supervisors, and as a public servant within a county public health department.
In my state, as in every state, we are facing historically critical challenges: the increasing concentration of wealth and income disparity, an assault on the rights and job security of workers, opposition to investments in green jobs and 21st century infrastructure, economically destructive attempts to scapegoat immigrants, insecurity in our health care and pension systems, and a virtual corporate takeover of our political system that helps enable all of the above.
As we have seen just in the past few weeks alone, the battlegrounds for these fights – and the opportunities for success in the future – are the states.
We have work to do. The new leaders of Progressive States Network and our financial supporters are ready to take this on.
Please feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com [2] to share your ideas on how Progressive States Network can work with allies to ensure a stronger state progressive movement.
Very best,
Joe Bolkcom
Chairman of the Board
Progressive States Network

1 year old boy and Potty training?
My son turned one less than a month ago. I've always taken him to the bathroom with me when I had to do my business, and now he's taken an interest in how the toilet works (flushing toilet paper etc.) He doesn't speak yet but he gives me signs when he goes. Pulling at his diaper right before he pees grunting before he poops. I am trying to figure out if potty training is an option at this point.

You can totally do it, but it isn't potty training really... It's called EC (Elimination Communication) which is basically you responding when he lets you know he has to go. A lot of People start EC at birth. (i started at 2 weeks). Babies totally DO have control, just thier bladders are very small. Mine is 4 months old and she has a particular way of fussing when she has to go. Check out the EC board here on baby center, and also www.diaperfreebaby.org for more info. You will have to look up the info for late starters since he is a bit older. But it is totally do-able, and you can keep the diaper as back up if you want, no problem! We've had a great experience so far, and it really gives you and great way to connect with your child.posted 06/10/2012 by Mommy020912
I dont think you would actually be potty training him at this point. You would mostly be training yourself to watch for his cues and rush him to the bathroom. I would just wait a few months until he can understand what exactly it all means. Also, at this age he most likely doesnt have the muscle control to hold it until he can use the toilet.posted 06/07/2012 by CadenJVDAGarcia

Georgia was in hot competition with other states to woo Caterpillar into building its new factory in the Athens-Oconee area. But in the end, the "seamless package" of job training to be provide through Georgia's Quick Start program, proximity to the port of Savannah, and links with the counties and Athens Technical College gave Georgia the edge, Caterpillar Building Construction Projects Vice President Mary Bell said Friday.
Bell and other representatives of the heavy machinery manufacturer stood at the Capitol alongside local officials from Athens and Oconee counties as Gov. Deal announced the major economic development win for the state.
It's the largest manufacturing investment in Georgia since Kia built its Columbus plant in 2006, he said.
Athens-Clarke Mayor Nancy Denson predicted it will be "a benefit for generations to come."
"A project of this magnitude with a company of this quality does not come around often," she said.
The 265-acre factory facility will straddle the Oconee and Athens-Clarke border at the Orkin site on US 29 and Ga. 316. It will make excavators and bulldozers. About 40 percent of the machines will be exported, chiefly to South America and parts of Europe.
Oconee County Commission Chair Melvin Davis said that CAT suppliers will also locate in the area, meaning even more jobs and a more diversified tax base.
"The factory alone will have a "$65 million payroll when fully staffed," he said. "The company will become the largest private employer in Oconee County."
Caterpillar plans to hire locally and will recruit through the website www.jointeamcaterpillar.com.
A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for March and production will likely begin in 2013. The first excavators are scheduled to roll off the production line at the end of 2014 followed by bulldozers the next year.
"I compliment the climate here," said Caterpillar CEO Doug Oberhelman, "it is very conducive to adding manufacturing jobs."
He also mentioned CAT is pushing hard to convince voters to approve a one-penny sales tax this July that would be used to pay for road, rail and bridge improvements. "That was a consideration in coming to Georgia," he said, "we need infrastructure.
Peoria, Ill.-based Caterpillar also has Georgia manufacturing sites in Emerson, Thomasville, LaGrange and Toccoa.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — WILSON — It was supposed to be a talk about two new options to deal with the financial challenge facing the Wilson Central School District. But the discussion once again brought up elementary school consolidation and the possible closing of W.H. Stevenson in Ransomville.
The Wilson Board of Education met Tuesday to talk about overriding the tax cap and reconfiguring the entire district. These options were the latest to be discussed by school officials, following a meeting last month.
Board members met in October to talk about four options for reducing costs. They included elementary school consolidation, as well as consolidating the middle and high schools, cutting extra-curriculars and eliminating non-mandated programs.
Along with Thomas Marks, Stevenson is one of two kindergarten-through-fifth-grade Wilson schools. And that's where the conversation steered Tuesday.
Board President Timothy Kropp said the two new options were presented as a result from public input.
"We've received letters and calls from people suggesting we look further," Kropp said.
Business Administrator John Montesanti presented an estimated financial outlook for the district. Before any cuts are made, the 2013-14 budget was listed at $24.5 million, about $1 million higher than the current school year's.
If left alone, the 2013-14 budget would need an 11 percent tax levy increase. Homeowners would see an increase of up to a $300 per $100,000 of assessed land value.
If the tax cap override were to pass. Montesanti told the public that most attempts to do so failed in May, the first budget vote in New York under the tax cap law.
Under New York's tax cap law, school districts can only raise taxes by a limited percentage that is figured out using a formula. There are certain pieces of information, such as the tax wealth ratio, the formula needs that schools won't have from Albany until January.
To raise taxes by more, a school district's budget must be approved by 60 percent of the voters. Otherwise it fails, even with a majority vote.
The other option was a district-wide reconfiguration. Two different versions were discussed, including one that saw Thomas Marks become a grade-five-through-eight building and Stevenson a pre-kindergarten-through-fourth-grade school.
The other version had eighth-graders moving to the high school and Stevenson becoming a grade-five- through-seventh building.
Concerns centered around classroom space and transportation. In the first version, fifth-graders would ride a high school bus and there is concern there wouldn't be enough space at Stevenson. That is unless specials like art and music were done "off the cart," or without a permanent room.
The second version had some transportation concerns, as well as issues with the bell schedule.
Board member George Waters said there wasn't much of a difference between elementary school consolidation and district reconfiguration. Waters sat on the committee that looked at elementary school consolidation earlier this year.
The district did not go through with it, as per the committee's recommendation. Many concerns about the consolidation then were still valid now, Board member Donald DeLisi said.
But the possible closing of Stevenson was brought up again by residents. Christine Hanna said Ransomville was a part of the Wilson district, but it's own community. And one that needed its school.
"I realize this is not an easy decision," she said. "But having a community school is why we moved there."
Talks are still preliminary, as school officials nothing has been determined.Contact reporter Joe Olenick at 439-9222, ext. 6241.

---- — William Vern Boyd
Jan. 11, 1946-Jan. 5, 2013
COOS BAY, Ore. — A memorial service to celebrate the life of William "Bill" Boyd, 66, of Coos Bay, Ore., will be at 3 p.m. Friday, Jan. 11, 2013, at the First Presbyterian Church, 2238 Pony Creek Road in North Bend, Ore.
Private cremation rites were held at Ocean View Memory Gardens in Coos Bay.
Bill was born in upstate New York on Jan. 11, 1946, to Louie Charles Boyd and Dorothy (Harrison) Boyd. He passed away peacefully on Jan. 5, 2013, in Coos Bay.
Bill graduated from Cooperstown High School, class of 1964, and soon after joined the U.S. Navy. He served in the Navy for 20 years, achieving the rank of Senior Chief, Electronics Technician.
His duties took him to Norfolk, Va.; Glynn Brunswick, Ga.; Oak Harbor, Wash.; Kamiseya, Japan; and San Diego, Calif. He also served on the USS Tidewater AD36 and the USS Shenandoah AD44. He was a member of the U.S. Navy Shooting Team, earning top marks in several national competitions including U.S. Navy pistol shooting champion and receiving expert pistol and rifle shot medals from the service.
Bill married Rita "Sam" McLaughlin in 1968. They had two daughters, Kristell and Kealy. Despite his many duties with the military, he always took the time to participate on his daughter's sporting teams, as well as local community service organizations and church.
In many communities where Bill lived, he was always known by his friends and neighbors as someone who would lend his skills to help those in need.
Bill was also an avid traveler, regularly camping and hiking at Yosemite or anywhere else with nice scenery and a trail to walk. He even journeyed to Australia, and, typical of his nature, established friendships he maintained for the rest of his life.
After retirement from the Navy, Bill worked in a number of other occupations ranging from salesman, to plant manager, and was known as "Baker Bill" at City Subs in Coos Bay. His favorite job after retirement, however, was as a ranch hand on a buffalo ranch outside of San Diego, where he was able to enjoy his love of the outdoors as well as his affection for those noble animals.
Bill is survived by his wife, R. "Sam" Boyd of Coos Bay; daughter, Kristell Reynolds and her husband, Stephen of Omaha, Neb.; daughter, Kealy Prouty and her husband, Joe of Escondido, Calif.; brother, Spike Boyd and his wife, Joyce of Fly Creek; sister, Bonnie Sharpe and her husband, Stu of Culpeper, Va.; sister, Beth Okerson of Cincinnati, Ohio; and grandchildren, Will Prouty and Josh Prouty of Escondido, Calif., and Jesse Reynolds, Pamela Reynolds and Bella Reynolds of Omaha, Neb.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to the First Presbyterian Food Bank or to the National Lung Cancer Alliance.
Friends and family are encouraged to sign the online guestbook at www.coosbayfh.com and www.theworldlink.com.
Arrangements are under the care of Coos Bay Chapel, 541-267-3131.

Back by popular demand, Ogilvy Healthworld host further brainstorming sessions in local pop-up shop to get community and commerce fighting fit and healthy
Ogilvy Healthworld is once again opening an idea pop-up shop to offer free marketing and communications advice to health-related enterprises in London. Following the success of the inaugural event in 2012, the Ogilvy Healthworld Idea Shop will be manned by the agency's advertising, PR, digital, medical education, consulting and market access experts who are keen to give something back to the local community by doing what they do best – generating ideas.
Last year the Ogilvy Healthworld Idea Shop provided over 120 hours of free expert healthcare communication advice to 20 local health-related entrepreneurs, small businesses and charities. Over 40 of the agency's top minds volunteered their time over a two-day period to collaborate with organisations including Terrance Higgins Trust, Rethink Mental Illness and Meningitis Trust.
The feedback from previous participants has been overwhelmingly positive. "The staff members were brilliant and the ideas they came up with were amazing." said Jane McGrath, mental health activist and founder of social enterprise, Blossom. "I was a little skeptical that they wouldn't 'get' my project but they did – you could almost hear their brains clunking."
Ogilvy Healthworld is encouraging more health-related enterprises to get involved and applications for the 2013 Idea Shop are now open. The two-day event will take place on 3rd-4th April at 205 Kings Road, SW3 5ED in a bid to get the local community and commerce fighting fit and healthy. Local health-related small businesses, charities and initiatives are invited to register their interest in a free 90 minute idea-thon to address their communications challenges and needs.
So how does it work? To ensure we can give the best ideas, applications must be made in advance and can be submitted here. We will then invite selected applicants to a free brainstorming session at the pop-up shop in Central London.
"Last year's Idea Shop was a great success for everyone involved," said Matt de Gruchy, Ogilvy Healthworld UK CEO. "The event gave us a chance to give something back to our local community and as a company we were thrilled to see some of our ideas put into practice. We are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to collaborate with more health-related entrepreneurs, small businesses and charities."

Lee and Kelaine (7digital) came to the ideas shop to discuss how to raise awareness about 7digital a digital content provider with a global reach. 7digital has an impressive and expansive music catalogue of nineteen million music tracks and one million eBooks. However, historically 7digital mainly catered for big business rather than the individual music lover that is where Ogilvy came in…
Whilst talking to 7digital it became clear that although not well-known, 7digital are a giant amongst their industry. Which raised the question, what makes 7digital unique amongst an already crowded and well-established market? Well, unlike digital music providers such as Itunes and Spotify Lee informed us that 7digital operates on a cloud based storage system which means that users can listen and download their music anywhere, anytime onto multiple platforms. In addition, unlike providers such as Itunes and Spotify 7digital have the luxury of being able to provide tracks from artists such as Led Zeppelin and the Beatles.
There were a number of ideas discussed at the ideas shop, from partnering with a coffee shop such as Costa to raising the profile of the companies CEO. A number of key themes arose – the importance of educating the public on how to download and store digital music files and raising the profile of the company by appearing at and sponsoring music events.

Richard and Rosamund Vaughan of Huntsham Court Farm came to Ogilvy with the mission of increasing their profile amongst their potential customers. They particularly wanted to increase the number of restaurants to which they supply their meat.
Huntsham Court Farm already has a range of marketing materials that are used with restaurants and chefs. We suggested updating these materials to improve the messaging to ensure the focus is kept on the quality of the meats and isn't diluted with other messages. We also looked at how an increase in engagement to establish relationships with potential customers would also be beneficial, which could be achieved through the currently active Twitter feed or through newsletters or blogging.
Huntsham meats have already won several awards for the quality of their meat and we encouraged additional leverage of these in the marketing collateral and on the website. This also applies to the numerous endorsements from restaurants, chefs and individuals the company has received which can be optimised more effectively.
Huntsham has already received significant attention from media outlets, from the Financial Times through to Heston Blumenthal's TV programmes. These have proven to have some success but could have performed better. We suggested focusing on trade publications and upper end lifestyle magazines in order to reach a more selective and targeted audience. We looked into how Richard and the farm itself could create hooks simply by inviting journalists and bloggers to experience a day on the farm and to sample the produce.

Ali Kedge came to the ideas shop to brainstorm on how best to raise the profile of her business 'Warmahorn' on a limited budget. Although brass is often associated with traditional, mundane, old fashioned brass bands Ali, whose background is in costume design, aims to challenge these perceptions by bringing colour, customisation and fun to brass instruments.
While talking to Ali it became clear that Warmahorn's practical, neoprene accessories were more than just eye-catching gimmicks. Brass musicians themselves had commented on the value of protecting their 'babies' from the evitable war wounds associated with life on the road. In addition, the neoprene covers kept their brass instruments warm and enhanced sound quality.
After reviewing Warmahorn's website it also became clear that Ali had already invested an incredible amount of money, time and effort in creating a 'Warmahorn storm' in the musical world. Not only had Ali appeared on programmes such as Dragon's Den but she had already been endorsed by artists such as Brian Newman (Lady Gaga's trumpet player) and the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.
There were many ideas discussed, from suspending trumpets sporting Warmahorn covers from wires hanging from the ceiling of an exhibition stand to giving Warmahorn covers to competition winners at the prestigious Guĉa brass music festival. Given the fact that one of Warmahorn's key markets is young, amateur brass players the importance of building and maintaining a digital presence through blogs, utube and facebook was also discussed.
Ultimately a number of key themes arose – the importance of creating spokes people and advocates beyond the niche world of brass, the necessity of identifying a product position, image, personality and a snappy one-liner core claim and the assembly of a take away promotional pack which could be produced on request or sent to those 'difficult to reach' artists.

I'm giving this five stars for this recipe w/ modifications. I think you will really love this if you try it the way I did! I seasoned the chops w/ s,p, and garlic powder, then dredged in flour seasoned w/ pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and some Emrils all-purpose seasoning....& browned in olive oil. On the stove, I boiled the water w/ one large chicken bouillon cube, then reduced, and added one can of cream of mushroom soup. I wisked together about 4 T flour in some cold water and added it to this saice. I let this simmer a little. Poured over chops and onions in crock pot. Right before it is finished, or even after it is done, then add 8 oz. sour cream and stir around. This was tasty, creamy and great served over wide egg noodles and freshly steamed green beans sprinkled w/ lemon pepper. Hope this review helps someone. I think the blandness some complained of will be alliviated w/ the extra seasonings in the flour mixture and the cr. of mushroom soup!! Try it!
Being that I saw this recipe at the last minute, I couldn't use my slow cooker, so I just browned my chops in my cast iron skillet with the onions, removed the chops just long enough to make a roux, added two cups of chicken broth instead of the water and simmered for forty five minutes. After they were done I again removed them from the skillet and added the sour cream and cooked for a minute. They came out so tender and the sauce was excellent! Good one Ami!!
absolutly fabulous! Bear with my changes, but I thought they might help someone else! I used 5, two inch thick chops, seasoned with s,p,gp (salt, pepper, garlic powder), THEN I dreged them through highly seasoned flour (just use what you like). I browned them in garlic infused oil. I then browned the onions and put them on top of chops in crock pot. For the sauce, I used 2 cups cx. broth, seasoned with fresh garlic, paprika, s,p,gp, and few other random things, and 1 can cream of mushroom soup. Poured it over chops and cooked on LOW for 5 hours...could have just been 4 hours though. Last, I added sauteed fresh mushrooms and the sour cream after moving chops to oven. I think I should have used only 4 oz. sour cream though. It was perfectly thick and very rich! We loved it!

Maropitant has been studied in dogs to treat acute vomiting associated with systemic disorders (e.g. gastroenteritis, acute pancreatitis, cholangitis) or infections (e.g. parvovirus infection except in young pups, leptospirosis) and a variety of other clinical disorders (e.g. uremia, renal failure, pyometra, diabetic ketoacidosis, hypercalcemia, adrenal insufficiency, intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal
neoplasia, linear foreign object, central nervous system disease, increased intracranial pressure, drug or toxic agent poisoning).3,4 It is also effective against vomiting due to motion sickness in dogs.5
To prevent acute vomiting in dogs, maropitant is given subcutaneously or orally before an anticipated emesis event and then
once a day thereafter for up to five consecutive days (Table 1).3 To treat acute vomiting in dogs, 1 mg/kg maropitant is given subcutaneously once a day for up to five consecutive days.3 If you need to treat a patient after the five days, stop maropitant administration for two days, and then reinitiate therapy
for up to another five days.3
To prevent motion sickness-induced vomiting, administer at least 8 mg/kg maropitant orally at least two hours before travel
and once a day for up to two consecutive days.3 If longer treatment is needed, stop maropitant administration for three days, and then reinitiate therapy for up to another
two days.3
Advise clients not to tightly wrap the tablets in fatty food such as cheese or meat since this may keep the tablets from dissolving
and delay the effect.11 Dogs should not be fed one to two hours before receiving maropitant. It is also recommended to avoid inserting the tablets
in hot dogs, sausage, or pocket-type treats.
Maropitant citrate injectable solution and tablets are used extra-label in cats for the same indications and at the same dosages
as those in dogs.3

A jury in San Mateo County is set to hear opening statements in the trial of a man accused of fatally shooting his friend in 2008.
Teyseer Zaid Najdawi pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity in the murder of 27-year-old Millbrae resident Jack Chu after an argument, according to the District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
The two men, who are believed to have been friends for several years, had been out drinking at bars in San Francisco prior to the shooting. On July 8, 2008, shots were heard in Lincoln Circle and responding officers found broken glass and blood in the street, Millbrae police said.
Chu's body was found in a vehicle near the corner of Chula Vista and Sanchez avenues in Burlingame.
According to the district attorney's office, Najdawi shot Chu in the head several times, drove Chu to Burlingame and left him there. Najdawi allegedly fled to Redding, where he was found at a motel on July 17, 2008, district attorney's officials said.
While in custody for the murder, Najdawi allegedly attacked his cellmate in county jail. He choked his cellmate, who was in custody for minor offenses, and refused to let go when confronted by correctional officers, the district attorney's office said.
Najdawi initially chose to represent himself but has since changed his mind and is now represented by defense attorney Jonathan McDougall, Wagstaffe said.
The jury trial, which has been in recess since Dec. 14, is set to resume this morning at 9 a.m. with the presentation of opening statements and the start of the prosecution's case.

I am 5 yrs. postmenopausal and have been having urinary symptoms which began 3 months ago. They were sudden onset (after being at beach and in oceam) and initially consisted of frequency and nocturia and sensation of incomplete bladder emptying.
All tests negative, except tested positive 2 wks. after onset for Desquammative Inflammatory Vaginitis (DIV) & also diagnosed with vaginal atrophy and overactive bladder. Treated successfully with 2 wk. course of Clindamycin for DIV & am currently on oxybutnin, and was on Vagifem (every other night) for atrophy.
My urinary symptoms had improved, but not completely, and my vaginal atrophy had not improved much so my GYN switched me to Estrace vaginal cream. After one dose (1/2 applicator), my urinary symptoms are much worse.
Could this be from the Estrace?
My Dr. is suggesting I switch back to Vagifem and see Uro (have appt. scheduled, but not for several weeks), but I was feeling better (at least with the urinary symptoms) until I made the switch to the Estrace.
Has anyone heard of this? I was hoping that the Estrace would be the medication to help eradicate these symptoms and can't tell whether this is a vaginal estrogen or overactive bladder issue or both.
To tell you the truth, I am somewhat skeptical of the OAB diagnosis in general as I have always felt that my OAB symptoms came on so suddenly & don't quite match. They can be surpressed with a change of position - ie. sitting down and leaning forward makes them go away and lying on my back at night (as opposed to my sides) makes it easier to sleep.
Would love to hear any thoughts on this.
Only thing that ever showed up was a small area of redness on the bladder wall which the urologist felt could be a resolving infection. That is when he prescribed oxybutnin.
Am now back on Vagifem and the urinary frequency and nocturia has abated. THe doctor has advised me to continue with the Vagifem for now.
It is very strange as irregardless of what I drink or eat or how much, some nights I can get 6-8 hours of sleep before being awaked by the urge to urinate, and some nights only 3 hrs.
All of thee are effective and sometimes they are tried alone or in combination.
I have also been seeing a gynecologist and using Vagifem for the same period of time. The switch to Estrace was because the Vagifem didn't seem to be addressing the vaginal atrophy. In the last 4 months, my daytime urinary frequency has gotten better as has the nocturia, but the main symptoms have not changed much. That is the feeling of still having to go after I've already gone & still waking up at night to go. None of these symptoms were present before this all started, which was after being at the beach and swimming in the ocean.
As it has been from the start, I am able to diminish that feeling by sitting up and leaning forward, thereby applying some "pressure."
The concern about the Estrace was that after taking only one dose, my symptoms were much worse and I felt as if I constantly had to go to the bathroom. The gyn advised me to discontinue the Estrace and go back to the Vagifem and consult the urologist. He said I may need to take the Vagifem for longer. He advised me to get a second urology opinion.
I am still not sure what is going on because these symptoms all came on so suddenly and have not gone away. I am not convinced I have overactive bladder as I do not seem to have the symptoms with frequency and urgency that others describe. No pain, either. Interstitial cystitis ruled out. Treated with anitbiotics for possible urethritis. But, I still feel like it is something in the urethra and/or vagina because of the discomfort after urinating - I do not get any sense of relief from going. If anything, I seem to feel better when my bladder is full, it's the actual going that makes me feel worse afterwards.
Does this make any sense at all?
The other option is that you may have a urethral diverticulum, which is a "pocket" of bacteria in the urethra. That is found on an MRI. You can read more about this here .

What to Do with Unused Prescription Medication?
Sometimes All You Can Do Is Laugh
What is the surgery for? How long will he be in the hospital? Do you have support from others during this period?
You both will be in my heart!
Thank you so very much for all your well wishes and concern it means so very much to me and makes me feel so much better knowing your thoughts and prayers will be with us. Oh I am sorry he is haveing surgery for a issue he was born with his urinary track is to short so they have to make it longer I don't know how to say or spell the name of the condition right off the top of my head. It is a 2 -4 hour surgery. They are also going to check and make sure the hernia he had has corrected it self as it has appeared to have done. If not then they will fix that also. He is supposed to come home later in the day I don't know how they can do that same day surgery with a baby but that is what they are doing. He has to have a cath in for 2 weeks and then they check to see if he has healed enough to take it out. It isn't going to be an easy or fun 2 weeks for any of us and mostly not him he is just starting to get around pretty good and now he is going to have to stay calm. Not going to be fun at all I will keep you posted and let you know how he does as soon as things calm down enough for me to get on line for a few. Right now just getting things set up for him for right after making his friut and juice pops and getting a spot ready for him to lay down in the livingroom all the things that have to be ready before we leave in the am. So not trying to do it as we get him home and then have to scamble. Well need to get more done while he is still at daycare will talk again soon thank you again for the prayers and well wishes have a great day angel hugs Roberta,
My son had a problem in his urinary tract that should have been caught as an infant but wasn't. He had an exra vein which blocked urine from completely flowing and gave him discomfort. We rushed him to the er when he was 16 with stomach pain and it turned out to be a vein in his kidney. They had to remove it and put in a stint, then remove it after 4 weeks. He spent 3 nights in Childrens Hospital but he had no problems after that.
I understand it is always better to catch things when they are babies. Supposedly an ultrasound when I was pregnant should have shown the issue but didn't. Now I think back on how many times we changed his formula when he was little because he had a lot of stomach aches and it makes me crazy!
You are all in my thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery for the little guy!
Remember to take care of you too!
much love,
Yes it is very hard when it is a little one and then in this area of his body is making it even harder. We have to keep him from laying on his tummy or playing on his tummy no crawling or anything like that. No sitting on his riding toys it isn't easy at all. There can't be anything going between his legs for a while his car seat has to be very lose when we do take him to his doctors appt. Try keeping a boy that just started getting around calm not very fun at all. Then we had a set back the day after his surgery with the dressing on it splitting open and having to take him in to get it changed but not for 2 days because no one called the doctor till we called his cells number ourselfs. His office hadn't called him about it so he wasn't to happy with his staff and meet us off hours to fix the dressing and he told us to just call his cell from now on. We took him back in today to get it changed again and he is doing well everything is healing good. we have to call again in the morning to let the doctor know how everything looks and go from there. he still has the cath in for now. So now everything is calming down and Kaiden is doing much better starting to get silly and want to play more. Some of the silly is due to the pain meds and some just him. Well I am going to get going for now will keep you up dated have a great day hope you don't get the storm we are getting snow ice and rain not nice schools are closed and roads are not good. Was nasty going out to the doctors this am. Stay warm and safe angel hugs Roberta, P.S. Bring spring on please
I have my mammogram apt tomorrow so I am nervous today, trying not to think about it. I never feel good after those anyway, since it missed my initial tumor. UUGGG. But, we have to do these things. I know its important. Maybe some day there will be a better, more efficient screening method, hopefully in our lifetime. I do think age 50 is too late for a mammo to start. I have a daughter and I hope she starts early with my history.
Well, have a great night. Starting to snow a bit, spring is taking its time, for sure!
Spring, really? It snowed & hailed in parts of Wa state yesterday & today. Go figure.
I know what you mean about the mammogram anxiety. I had an Onco check up & they found a tender spot (tender is putting it mildly, when she hit that spot, I just about came off the table) on my left breast-the side which I had lumpectomy, So now Tues I will be having diagnostic mamm & ultrasound.
Sending good thoughts & prayers to you tomorrow
I will be thinking of you on Tuesday and wishing you a "negative" result as well.
blessings and hugs,
Jenna, I'm so glad you had a negative mammogram. I'm sure that there is a lot of anxiety with each one. I haven't had one yet since THE one, that showed bc. But you've reached your six year anniversary and I think that's a huge step.
Shell, I'll send you thoughts and prayers also on your upcoming tests. I agree that 50 is too late to wait for mammograms. I have a daughter too, age 43, I'm looking into genetic testing, haven't gotten too far with the process but I'm interested in it for her sake.
Best to all,
I am so happy for you and the great neg mammo yaaa!!!!!
Now we just have to wait for Shell and then have a big Neg party lol.lol.!!! Boy I hate the waiting for the results when we go for our test it sucks. But it sure is good when we find out we worried for nothing AGAIN !! lol.lol.
Now about Kaiden and that staff that got a good what for and what not from the doctor I am sure. Kaiden is not a happy camper right now he is feeling the whole thing now and it is getting to him a lot more. He is very fussy and just wants to get everything off and out of him. He still has the cath and that dressing on plus has had to have the dressing changed 3 times already since the 13. So just think each time how that must feel for him and the trama of it all for such a little guy. I feel so bad that he is going through all of this. Then he likes to sleep on his tummy and he can't yet and he can't play and crawl on the floor because he can't be on his tummy. It is so hard right now because he wants to do so much and it hurts when he does. You can tell because he tries to push that area or goes to grab it and we are stopping him so he doesn't hurt himself or pull everything apart out the cath out. We talked to the doctor this am he said the cath will most likely come out on Tues and the dressing might also come off then if everything looks good and is healed enough for that. I just want him to be comfortable and be able to sleep and play like himself, like a little boy should be doing. He hasn't slept good since surgery on the 13 poor little guy needs some good sleep. So that is what is going on so far the doctor has been great through all of this.
Oh how are you likeing our nice spring weather snow and ice and more snow lol.lol I know lovely isn't it Just what we asked for our first day of spring a snow storm that brings ice along with it and lasts for 3 days. lol.lol. Stay warm and safe have a great day angel hugs Roberta,
Hello I will be sending loads of angel hugs and good luck wishes for your mammo on tues to come back all good nothing there to worry about just a big NEG !!! Have a great weekend angel hugs Roberta,
Thank you for all the well wishes for my mamm on Tues.
I am a little more freaked out this time....imagine that !
Dr said that normally cysts cause pain & not cancer. But of course I did a little reading, and found that is not always the case. We shall see.
Roberta, poor little Kaiden It has to be especially miserable for him because he wants to be on the move. I hope he starts feeling better soon !
On a happier note, our youngest son graduated college today, he busted his buns & finished a quarter early. Yes, we are very proud of him.
I hope everybody has a great weekend & gets a little Sunshine like we had here today.( Even though it snowed yesterday) Crazy Mother Nature!!
Take care,
Well, Crazy Mother Nature is in Virginia. As I sit here, it is pouring ice. We were supposed to have rain. So much for my poor daffodils. .
Shell, I know how proud of your son, and good for him. I think it's quite an accomplishment to help a child through successful adolescence and see him or her graduate college. Also my husband says it's the biggest raise we ever get. And again, thinking of you on Tuesday and hoping so much for good news.
Roberta, I think about you and little Kaiden so much. I know it doesn't work this way, but it just doesn't seem fair that little ones should suffer like this. I'm just so sorry that he's so uncomfortable and I'm sure it's a 24 hour a day job caring for him, making sure he doesn't hurt himself. Hugs to you.
Well, as I typed this it has changed from pouring ice to pouring snow. What typically happens here with a late spring like this is that after this cold week it will suddenly be 82 degrees the next. I like things to happen more gradually.
Best to all of you,
Oh it must be so NICE TO HAVE SUNSHINE !!! Sure rub it in too !!! lol.lol. I can only wish dream and hope for that here See the tears running down my face crying and wishing so hard for that sun lol.lol. No we had more SNOW !!! I just want spring !!!
OK I AM DONE NOW !!!lol.lol.lol
I am so happy for you must be very happy and proud to have your son graduate college and early at that. That is a great feeling when your child does something like that and to know they have gone on to become a grown up in your case a man now. Now me if I was there I would have been crying like a baby if it was my son. Just from being so very proud of him and then knowing o my god he isn't a baby any more he is all grown up now he is a man now !! Wow how they grow up so fast and now he is out of school and what happens now that is why I would be crying. Oh I am sorry hope I didn't get you crying now lol.lol. I am just one of those emotional people.
About Kaiden we go to see the doctor on tuesday and hopefully he gets the cath out and that second skin tpye dressing off. Then we see what he wants to do from there and if he can be a little more active now. He did say when we called Sat morning that we can let him play on the floor and crawl a little but not to let him drag himself to much. So that was some good news and Kaiden had some fun playing with his toys and crawling around for a while. He also said if he rolls over onto his tummy just make sure we have some padding under him and it should be ok. That is a big one because he likes to sleep on his tummy and we had a hard time keeping him on his back.So he slept better last night. Plus he refilled his pain meds till he sees him Tues because of the healing and pain he is in he said the little guy has been through a lot the past 10 days and needs it. So we are doing better and hanging in there. Have a great day angel hugs Roberta,
Thank you so much for your kind words and all for Kaiden and I. Kaiden is doing better when we talked to the doctor Sat he said we could let him play on the floor and crawl some as long as he doesn't drag himself to much. He can also sleep on his tummy if he happens to roll over in the night. That is a big help because we were having a hard time trying to keep him on his back.

Donnie Avery - WR
|5' 11"/ 200 lbs.
|Houston, TX
|Years played
|2008, 2nd round, 2nd pick by Rams
Vikings will explore free-agent WR possibilities
The Vikings will seek WR help through the draft, but don't rule out free agency as an option for fixing things, too.
Week 10 fantasy tips: WRs
The PFW staff's late-week fantasy WR tips suggest you pay close attention to Hakeem Nicks' health status this week.
Colts sign WR Avery
The Colts have signed ex-Titans free-agent WR Donnie Avery to a one-year deal. Financial terms were not announced.
Titans will have to keep tabs on WR Britt during his rehab
The way we hear it, there is concern within the Titans' organization about WR Kenny Britt staying focused during his recovery from major knee surgery.
Three wide receivers included in Rams' cuts
Wide receiver was considered a position of weakness for the Rams entering the offseason, and the position will have a revamped group when the regular season begins.
Report: Rams still interested in WR Jackson
The Rams reportedly are still interested in trading for disgruntled Chargers WR Vincent Jackson.
Rams WR Avery out for season
The Rams announced late Friday that WR Donnie Avery suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Rams' 36-35 preseason victory over the Patriots Thursday night.
Avery agreed to terms on a three-year deal with Kansas City, a person familiar with the terms told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because the transaction had not been announced.||||||| The speedy wide receiver showed promise after the Rams selected him in the second round in 2008, but he missed the entire 2010 season with a knee injury. Avery spent last year with Indianapolis, where he caught a career-best 60 passes for 781 yards and three touchdowns in helping the Colts reach the playoffs.
Avery caught five passes for 91 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday, including the game-winner as time expired against Detroit.||||||| Avery is a respect No. 3 option for owners who are thin at WR, particularly in PPR formats.
Avery caught nine passes for 111 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Vikings.||||||| Avery tied his career high in receptions
The Indianapolis Colts have signed Avery.||||||| The move completes a frantic day of change for the Colts, who lost center Jeff Saturday to Green Bay and tight end Jacob Tamme to Denver, traded for quarterback Drew Stanton and lost offensive lineman Ryan Diem, who retired.
The Tennessee Titans have placed receiver Kenny Britt on injured reserve and signed Donnie Avery to fill his spot on the roster. The Titans announced the moves Wednesday just before practice.||||||| Britt tore both his ACL and MCL in his right knee during last week's 17-14 win over Denver. He will need surgery within the next two weeks to repair the damage, but the injury left Tennessee (2-1) with only four receivers on the roster. The 5-foot-11 Avery was a second-round pick in 2008 out of Houston by St. Louis. He had 100 catches for 1,263 yards and eight touchdowns but missed the 2010 season after tearing his right ACL in an exhibition game.

The so-called "birthday tax" that Georgia vehicle owners pay will end in March 2013—for people who purchase a new vehicle.
Effective March 1, 2013, House Bill 386 removes the sales tax and the annual ad valorem tax on newly purchased vehicles.
Instead, there will be a new title tax of 6.5 percent of the fair market value, as identified by the Georgia Motor Vehicle Assessment Manual, in 2013—only due each time the vehicle is sold and titled.
It applies to dealer sales as well as sales between individuals, but excludes non-titled vehicles, such as trailers and other non-motorized vehicles, which will remain subject to ad valorem tax.
You'll pay this tax in the county where you register the vehicle.
However, you will continue to pay the annual ad valorem tax on vehicle(s) that you currently own. Details of the new law include:
- If you purchase a vehicle in Georgia, then title and register it between January 1, 2012, and March 1, 2013, you may be eligible to opt-in to the new title ad valorem tax, thus eliminating the annual ad valorem bill you are used to getting.
- The time period that qualified owners will be able to opt in is March 1, 2013, to January 1, 2014.
- New residents moving into Georgia on or after March 1, 2013, will be required to pay 50 percent of the TAVT within 30 days of moving to the state and the remaining 50 percent must be paid within the next 12 months.
- Motor vehicle owners who owned the vehicles prior to January 1, 2012, will continue to receive an annual ad valorem bill.
For more comprehensive information, a title ad valorem tax calculator and frequently asked questions, go to newtitletax.com.
Will the new Georgia tax affect your decision to purchase a new vehicle? Let us know in the comments.

By Shane Farmer
Special to the Daily Sun
Mildred coach Billy Dan Chambliess had a plan for the seventh-ranked Bruceville-Eddy Lady Eagles and his trio of pitchers Olivia Farmer, Aubyn Turner and Joanna Tapley carried out his plan to near perfection in an 8-4 Region III-2A quarterfinals win.
"I just told them to hit their spots and not let the big bats of Bruceville-Eddy beat us," Chambliess said, referring to Ashley Hoehn, Dakota Holly and Shelby Friudenberg, who each hit over .650 for the year and have a combined 140 RBIs.
Farmer went four and 1/3 innings allowing only three hits while striking out four for the Lady Eagles. Turner came in and pitched one and 2/3 innings and got the win for Mildred. She gave up three hits and struck out three before being relieved by Tapley in the seventh inning. Tapley sandwiched two strikeouts around a fielder's choice in the inning to close out the game.
The top of the first inning was played on Friday night but the game was delayed until Saturday because of rain and lightning. Play began on Saturday with Mildred coming to bat with no score.
Callie Bland led off with a single and then stole second base. Maddie Moore drove a single up the middle for and RBI and a 1-0 lead. Moore went to second on the throw to the plate and was driven home by Farmer's single for a 2-0 lead. Farmer then stole second base and moved to third on an infield single by Morgan McCreary. After Farmer was thrown out at the plate on a double steal attempt, Savannah Pritchett hit an RBI single to rightfield for a 3-0 lead after one inning of play.
Bruceville-Eddy scored a run in the second inning on a double steal and the score remained 3-1 until the fifth inning. Bruceville-Eddy scored two runs in the top of the fifth inning on a Friudenberg solo homerun and a hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to make the score 3-3.
Bruceville-Eddy would take the lead in the top of the sixth inning on a throwing error and head to the bottom of the inning with a 4-3 lead.
McCreary started the Mildred rally in the bottom of the sixth inning with a lead-off double to leftfield. Savannah Pritchett then laid down a bunt single to put runners at the corners for the Eagles with no outs. Brianna Weaver's RBI sacrifice bunt tied the score at 4-4. Turner walked to put two on for the Lady Eagles with one out. Abbie Burnham then bunted the ball back to the pitcher who over threw third base on the force play to allow Pritchett to score and Mildred led 5-4. Turner ended up at third base and Burnham at second on the error. Bland then hit a sacrifice fly to leftfield to plate Turner and a 6-4 lead. Moore collected her second RBI of the game on a double to left-centerfield and scored on Farmer's third hit of the game for Mildred's final run and an 8-4 lead.
Mildred will now take on Garrison in the regional semi-finals at a date and time TBD.
