A federal court is about to answer the question: Whom do you actually work for?
One of the most fundamental obstacles the American labor movement faces could get torn down in the coming days -- and it's terrifying management, in industries from fast-food to manufacturing.
New state laws go into effect July 15
Victims of domestic violence in Kentucky will soon be allowed fast access to concealed carry gun permits while voters from precincts surrounding state parks in dry counties will be able to vote to allow alcohol sales.

There's less good music now — here's why
Taylor Swift, the seven-time Grammy winner, is known for her articulate lyrics, so there was nothing surprising about her writing a long column for The Wall Street Journal about the future of the music industry. Yet there's reason to doubt the optimism of what she had to say.
Why North Korean cheerleaders may soon descend on the South
When you think of North Korea, "cheerleaders" may not be the first thing that springs to mind. The Hermit Kingdom is perhaps better known for less savory things like gulag-like labor camps and leadership purges.

Other facts
I have spent the last 18 years representing individuals and small businesses in a wide variety of legal matters, and have had the opportunity to see first-hand how being in court can impact a person's entire life.
I have always kept my clients in mind when I have served as a Conciliation Court Referee or municipal hearing officer and I have treated every person whose case I considered with the respect, courtesy and attention that I would both want and expect were it me whose case was being considered.
For all of my life I have worked hard to serve others, whether this means getting out of bed at 2:00 a.m. to respond to a fire call in my community, serving on the board of a charter school serving students with autism, coaching a high school mock trial team, or meeting with new parents of critically ill children to share my own experiences as the parent of a "preemie." I have never refused to help where help is needed, and I have always been willing to share my particular skills whenever possible. I do it to set an example for my sons, but more than that, I do it because it is the right thing to do.
I have a unique and varied background — both personally and professionally — and will bring that experience with me to the Hennepin County Court. I ask for your vote on November 6.

Ravens Ticket Info
Baltimore Ravens fans could not have asked for much more last season. Following the Ray Lewis' retirement announcement at the conclusion of the regular season, the team went on to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, sending out the legendary linebacker on the ultimate high note. It will be very difficult for the Ravens to repeat this season but the fan base has come to expect the unexpected from their beloved franchise. Check out the 2013 Baltimore Ravens schedule and order your Ravens tickets today from GoTickets.
The playoff run that the Baltimore Ravens put together last season was one that will not soon be forgotten. The Ravens first took down the upstart Indianapolis Colts, who were led by rookie quarterback Andrew Luck. Then Baltimore traveled to Denver for what will go down as one of the greatest playoff games in NFL history. The Ravens took down Denver on the road by a score of 38-35 in an epic double-OT affair. Then of course came the Super Bowl, which pitted the Harbaugh brothers against one another in New Orleans. The Ravens got out to a huge lead and were barley able to hang on, eventually winning 34-31. With the roster less than intact from last season, it will be very difficult to repeat but you can be there to see if they make it happen with Baltimore Ravens tickets from GoTickets.
The Baltimore Ravens schedule this season is clearly one of the most exciting in the entire NFL. Among the huge home games at M&T Bank Stadium are showdowns against bitter rivals Cleveland and Cincinnati. And when you throw in a big game against the Steelers, that makes Ravens tickets among the most desirable and hard to find. But at GoTickets, you can always find Baltimore Ravens football tickets, even for sold out games.

It was a landmark for Pleasant Hill residents who drive the back way to Walnut Creek behind The Dome movie theater.
The Fair Oaks Mini Market sat at the corner of Buskirk Avenue and Elmira Drive in the southeast corner of the city for decades.
That gas station, however, is no more. It was torn down last month as Pleasant Hill moves forward with its project to widen and improve the Buskirk Avenue corridor behind the Crossroads Shopping Center.
The city took possession of the gas station in September, then tore it down and removed the underground storage tanks.
The $11 million project, paid for with regional half-cent sales tax money, went out to bid this month. Construction will begin early next year and take two years to complete.
When the project is finished, Buskirk Avenue will be wider and straighter, channeling straight into Hookston Road. Median islands and new traffic signals will be part of the new corridor stretching from Interstate 680 to Hookston Road.

Healthcare Reform Passes!
by Trey Rentz, Tue Mar 16, 2010 at 10:12:10 AM EDT
I just received word from a friend of mine who shall remain nameless - that Healthcare reform finally passed - Pelosi has enough votes to make it happen.
We should hear this week from the House that the bill is ready and that it will head to the Senate. Reid has already stated he will move it through the senate and it will then be on its way to signature.
This is of course, just a rumour.

ATLANTA — The Georgia Board of Regents has approved the merger of eight college campuses into four schools with new names and newly appointed presidents.
The moves are a major initiative of Chancellor Hank Huckaby, who leads the University System of Georgia.
Augusta State University and Georgia Health Sciences University are now Georgia Regents University, the only one of the new campuses classified as a research university alongside the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech.
The University of North Georgia is formed by combining Gainesville State College and North Georgia College.
Macon State College and Middle Georgia College form Middle Georgia State College.
South Georgia College and Waycross College are now South Georgia State College.
Higher education officials say the consolidations will yield more efficient, effective schools.

Letter to a 13-Year Old Asking How to Go Deeper in Bible Study
Dear [Samantha],
I got your note about going deeper with your Bible reading. Thanks for asking.
First, let me say that I am really encouraged that you take the Bible so seriously. Sometimes I hold it in my hand and feel the wonder that it is the very word of the Maker of the universe. Amazing.
You are right to read it every day and seek to let it permeate…Continue Reading
Hope for More Than Unconditional Love
If you only hope for unconditional love from God, your hope is great, but too small.
Unconditional love from God is not the sweetest experience of his love. The sweetest experience is when his love says: "I have made you so much like my Son that I delight to see you and be with you. You are a pleasure to me, because you are so radiant with my glory."
This…Continue Reading
My Response to the Vote on Jason Meyer
Last night, in a special All-Church-Strategy Meeting, 792 of Bethlehem's members gathered at 7 PM and voted 784 to 8 to confirm God's call on Jason Meyer to take hold of the baton that I have carried for the last 32 years. I wrote a letter to be read at that meeting giving my sense of God's leading to this point. Then I wrote a response that we sent to…Continue Reading
Letter to a 12-Year-Old Girl About the Eternal Destiny of Those Who Have Not Heard the Gospel
Dear [Sarah],
You asked what happens to people who live far away from the gospel and have never heard about Jesus and die without faith in him.
Here is what I think the Bible teaches.
God always punishes people because of what they know and fail to believe. In other words, no one will be condemned for not believing in Jesus who has never heard of Jesus.
Does that mean that people will be saved and go to heaven if they have never heard of Jesus? No, that is not what God tells…Continue Reading

The Story of Ian & Larissa
Dear Friends,
Desiring God exists to help people everywhere understand and embrace the truth that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him. And I would add, especially in suffering.
Being satisfied in God (or anything) always seems easier when all is going well. But when things you love are being stripped out of your hands, then the test is real. If God remains precious…Continue Reading
I Don't Think So, Doug
Doug Wilson, in a recent blog titled "Paul on Divorce and Remarriage," says 1 Corinthians 7:28 permits a divorced man to remarry. I don't think that's what Paul is saying.

C. S. Lewis on the Temporary Importance of Fear
I think that when we are sinless we will still fear God in the sense of reverential, trembling awe — as when we stand on a peak before vast stretches of unscalable cliffs. And we will also fear, I suppose, in the sense of shuddering with thankfulness that we are not among the number who still dishonor God.
But the painful fear, the guilty fear, the craven fear, the humiliating…Continue Reading
Old Shocks in Getting Ready for Romania, Switzerland, and Germany
I have been preparing for ministry in Romania, Switzerland and Germany. One of the messages I am to give is "What is Gospel-Centered Ministry?" I have let my mind run back over the decades of preaching about this. One message leaps out of my memory with great joy and force. The message at One Day in May, 2000.

Learning from John Stott's Godly Ambition
Today is John Stott's first birthday in heaven.

Stott became Rector at All Souls in 1950 at the age of 29.…Continue Reading
My Future at Desiring God
Dear Friends,
This has been a season of transition at both Bethlehem and Desiring God. In both cases I feel more carried along than pushing or pulling. God is manifestly moving. May the Lord give me grace to stay in step with the Spirit, as he kindly leads us through these happy days.
I am overjoyed with the elders' choice of Jason Meyer as the candidate to eventually take my…Continue Reading
Earnestness in Preaching (and Life)
Earnestness is the demeanor that corresponds to the weight of the subject matter of preaching — and life. The opposite of earnest is not joyful, but trivial, flippant, frivolous, chipper.
It is possible to be earnest and have elements of humor, though not levity. Spurgeon had a way with words, for example, that caused some foolish things to look ludicrous. "Live on the substantial doctrines of grace, and you will…Continue Reading

What Does Paul Mean: "Christ Will Reconcile to Himself All Things"?
Some have used Colossians 1:20 to argue for universalism — that all rebel creatures, including the devil will be reconciled to God in the end and there will be no eternal hell.

In him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
Did Jesus Spend Saturday in Hell?
The Apostles' Creed says, "[He] was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead." There are many meanings given to this phrase. I simply want to ponder the traditional interpretation that Christ went to the place of the dead to preach the gospel to Old Testament saints that he might set them free for the full experience of heaven.…Continue Reading
Why I Love Bethlehem College
After doing serious church-based higher education for decades, we made it official in 2009 and started Bethlehem College and Seminary (BCS). I love what God has put together.

Race and the Horrific Frequency of Abortion
Tucked away near the bottom, and easily out of sight, is one of the compounded tragedies of abortion. The profoundly disproportionate number of black babies being aborted.
Every child is created in God's image and is knit together by him in the womb. Every child, of every race, is God's design and gift (Psalm 139:13). None should be killed.
And when there are historic and contemporary evidences that certain minorities…Continue Reading
The Mega Millions Lottery Is a Suicidal Craze
Tonight a ticket will be chosen worth over half a billion dollars. Lottery agents in New York were selling 1.3 million Mega Millions tickets per hour Thursday.
Officials were expecting to sell about 1.2 billion tickets total before the drawing.
"Americans spend about $60 billion on the lottery every year," says Stephen Dubner, co-author of "Freakonomics." "More than $500 per American household goes to playing the lottery." (CBS This…Continue Reading
Bonhoeffer on Abortion
Dietrich Bonhoeffer is claimed as a patron saint by theological schools, ranging from God is Dead to evangelical conservatives. Eric Metaxas sees his biography as one step in the rescue of Bonhoeffer from the most bizarre misuses of his thinking.
Along the way he points out, for example, Bonhoeffer's clear and strong views on abortion. They are decisive on the immorality of it, and pastorally compassionate toward the persons in…Continue Reading
Trayvon Martin, Race, and the Gospel
Racial tensions continue to rise just as I prepare to go to New York next week to talk with Anthony Bradley and Tim Keller about race and the Christian.

That's 2012 not 1962.

I Was Warned by Job This Morning
I take this as a serious and sober warning to people with significant influence and respected standing in the church and community. Job was a good man. "Blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil" (Job 1:1). His fall from health, wealth, and family wholeness was not owing to an evil lifestyle.
Whatever remnants of pride lying in the bottom of Job's glass of holiness, which…Continue Reading
What's the Difference Between Jesus and the Lawyers?
Jesus said, "Woe to you lawyers! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers" (Luke 11:46).
How is Jesus different from that? (Be careful.)
Does he give us no burden to bear? That is not the difference. He does give us a burden to bear.
Is it a lighter burden? The question is ambiguous. Does it…Continue Reading
Will We Arrive Blameless on the Day of Christ?
There is a faith-sustained holiness that Paul wants his converts to have on the day of Christ — the day of his return, when the dead in Christ will be raised (1 Corinthians 15:23). This holiness (which he also calls "blamelessness" and "guiltlessness" and "being above reproach" and "purity") is certain through God's faithfulness, contingent on persevering faith, and dependent on human agency.
Paul is certain that God…Continue Reading

One area for clarification is what I meant by saying "Faith is primarily future oriented" (13). I'm changing the word "primarily." I'm going to use "profound and pervasive" and then explain. All…Continue Reading

Zoning the tape library will isolate the tape traffic to that specific zone. You must also include the backup server in the zone of course.
It is not really necessary to zone out a tape library in a fabric since a switch is point-to-point, and all end nodes only see traffic that is targeted to them. Although, if you plan to do backup during production hours by using snapshot or BCV technology, and the production servers themselves run the backup engine through the SAN, then using a third HBA zoned with the tape library is a good idea. This will prevent and tape traffic from running over the load balanced production disk HBAs.
So the answer is "it depends" on what your doing. For example, if you back up through the SAN by creating shadow images of production volumes, those volumes can then be automatically mounted to a backup server connected to the SAN. This takes the backup load off production servers. It also means you do not need a third adapter in the production servers, since all data movement is from the SAN, through the Backup server to tape.
If you are running "serverless backup," then all traffic goes directly from disk to tape through a data router instead of the backup server using the extended copy command.
So if your servers do their own backup during production hours, then use a separate tape zone which includes a dedicated backup HBA.

Stephanie George, sentenced to life in prison for possession of half a kilo of cocaine, is interviewed in an article written by John Tierney that questions what drug crimes should deserve prison time, as incarercation rates are increasing with no affect on the crime rate.
"Over the past three decades of stricter drug laws, reduced parole and rigid sentencing rules have lengthened prison terms and more than tripled the percentage of Americans behind bars." This state spending on corrections and prisoners is cutting into other important state budgets such as higher education. What are state officials doing to decrease crime but also reduce the incarceration rate? Tierney goes into depth about what state officials are working on to correct this problem.

They dont call them the Broad Street Bullies for nothing.
Immediately after Joel Ward scored his third goal of the night for his first career hat trick and put the Capitals up 7-0, fight night broke out at Wells Fargo Center. Four sets of players, including goaltenders Braden Holtby and Ray Emery, paired off in a mammoth third-period fracas.
Off the faceoff, Philadelphia winger Wayne Simmonds dropped the gloves with gritty rookie forward Tom Wilson for a bout that drew the attention of all the players on the ice. But as that scrap unfolded Emery raced from his crease down the ice to challenge Holtby, who clearly wanted to avoid the altercation but had no option when his counterpart lunged at him.

Welcome to the Coroners Court of Victoria
The Coroners Court of Victoria is located at Level 11, 222 Exhibition Street Melbourne. This is where the majority of inquests are held.
Coronial Admissions and Enquiries is located at 65 Kavanagh Street, Southbank. This is where people are brought into the care of the coronial jurisdiction for the initial stages of a coronial investigation, including any medical examinations a coroner may require.
The court is committed to serving the people of Victoria by discharging its duty in a sensitive, courteous and professional manner.
The cornerstone of this service is respect for:
- the dignity of the person who has died
- the family and friends of the deceased person
- a process aimed at assisting family and friends to understand what happened and why.
This website will help you become familiar with the role of the Coroners Court of Victoria and provide some information about the coroner's investigation process.
Coroners Court is moving
The Coroners Court will be moving at the end of July from its city location in Exhibition Street to 65 Kavanagh Street, Southbank.
If you need to attend the court, please check out with staff or visit the website at www.coronerscourt.vic.gov.au to make sure you go to the right address.
Regional Coronial Developments
In May 2013, it was announced that the Coroners Court of Victoria intended to centralise all regional coronial investigations as of 1 January 2014. In order to assist with this process, all regional coronial investigations reported to the court from 1 December 2013 will be centrally managed at the court's Melbourne premises. This management refers to the administrative aspects of the investigation. It does not mean that all inquests will be held in Melbourne. Coroners may still hold inquests in regional locations.
Regional coronial investigations that were already underway, or part heard, prior to 1 December 2013, will continue to be managed by regional registrars and finalised by a regional coroner.
These regional coronial developments will not impact on existing arrangements regarding the transfer of deceased persons to and from the court for medical examinations.
For further information, please contact the court on 1300 309 519.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Put squash into a baking dish with the cut side down. Pour enough water into the baking dish to cover the bottom.
- Bake in preheated oven until the flesh of the squash is easily pricked with a fork, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool until squash can be handled. Scoop flesh into a bowl and set aside.
- Melt butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Cook onion, carrot, and garlic in melted butter until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour chicken stock into the pot; add the squash.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
- Pour mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth and return to pot.
- Stir half-and-half, nutmeg, and cinnamon through the blended soup; season with salt and pepper. Thin the soup with water if desired.

This was a tasty recipe--but I'll warn you right now, I revised it for a slow cooker only because I don't do ovens when the temps are still in the triple digits (like they are in Phoenix right now). I made 1/2 the batch. I washed the whole acorn squash then set it in a 5 qt. slow cooker and turned to low for 8 hours. I let the squash cool to handle then peeled and seeded it. I followed the rest of the recipe except I used 1 cup of 2% milk instead of half'n'half and pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon/nutmeg mixture.
I made this for 17 people on Thanksgiving, and it was a hit! I used 2 acorn squash and 2 butternut squash and increased the other ingredients accordingly. The only change I made was 2% milk instead of half'n'half. Delicious! The leftovers were a popular choice for lunch and dinner the next day. It was just as good left-over as it was fresh, and it was good served cold as well as hot.
Marty Rupp
added a little cream cheese and little hot pepper like we do with our butternut squash soup. Very good with club crackers.

S.Pellegrino's Almost Famous Chef competition is off to a strong start. The contest, which is in its 11th year, offers culinary students the opportunity to vie for a yearlong mentorship with one of the master chef judges who preside over the finals at Napa Valley's Greystone CIA. Contestants from all over the US and Canada convene at 10 locations for regional cooking competitions, with the winners from each location convening for a final Top Chef style face-off. Read on for details and winning recipes.
This year's Almost Famous spokesperson is Tony Mantuano of Spiaggia, Top Chef and James Beard Foundation fame. Mantuano grew up in an Italian family, so food is second nature for him. His restaurant Spiaggia is Chicago's only 4 star Italian restaurant, and according to Mantuano, mentoring from within has been a key part of fostering strong and consistent leadership in his businesses. I had the opportunity to speak with Tony about the competition and he was kind enough to share some of his thoughts on the subject.
JH: Almost Famous is the only competition of its kind and represents an extraordinary opportunity for young chefs to receive tutelage from masters. Why is this so important? Can you share a bit about the personal value this holds for you?
TM: I think that most of current workers in the food and beverage industry have never experienced culinary mentorship. I wish I had a competition like S.Pellegrino's Almost Famous Chef available to me when I was starting out. I think it's an important part of one's education. You get to hear from someone who has worked in the industry successfully and learn from his or her experiences. I recommend all culinary students and rising cooks and chefs find a mentor they can relate to.
JH: Given how unusual it is to see young culinary students/aspiring chefs receive mentoring beyond the standard 4-6 week internship, what -if any- message would you like to send the industry at large? What is the value of longer-term mentoring?
TM: Long-term mentorship is valuable, as I believe it will increase the success rate of the restaurant and of the chef. When you're able to continue to mentor students and aspiring chefs you help them achieve their goals – it's good for everyone. For example, at Spiaggia we ensure that our cooks and young chefs are given mentorship opportunities from myself, our executive chef Sarah Grueneberg and other team members. Because of this, we rarely have a need to hire sous chefs from the outside. We'll start them as interns and then develop their skills, give them the proper tools and work on their goals. It has worked well at Spiaggia and my other restaurants Bar Toma and Terzo Piano – I was even able to staff those restaurants with chefs that grew and learned at Spiaggia.
Having spent nearly 25 years in the culinary industry, this competition lands near and dear to my heart. In 1980 not many women were entering the field, and no mentors were available to show me the ropes of the industry. Mine was a trial by fire, and it birthed a commitment to "pay it forward" by mentoring aspiring young chefs. I'm thrilled to see that women are bringing a strong showing to the start of the games: women won the first three regionals: the Midwest, New England and Northeast. They also represent 3 culinary schools that are new to the competition. Kamisha Jones, from Louisville's Sullivan University took the Midwest with her Seared Breast of Duck, Cranberry Apple Chutney, and Sauce Gastrique. Kristen Thibealt from Le Cordon Bleu in Boston won New England with her Porcini Crusted Vegan "Sweetbreads" and Mushroom Ragout.
And Linnea Shumway from Paul Smith's College swept the Northeast competition with her Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breast with Root Vegetable Butter Sauce. I have adapted all of these winning recipes for preparation in the home kitchen.
Stay tuned as the competition unfolds for more recipes and news on the 10 finalists. The final showdown will be in the Napa Valley in mid March.

The following is from the Sept. 25, 2007, edition of MBA Universe. SMU Finance Professor Andrew Chen of the Cox School of Business was a source for this story.
Sept. 25, 2007
In a new study titled Complementing Economic Advances in India: A New Approach in Financing Infrastructure Projects, SMU Cox Business School Professor of Finance Andrew Chen and co-author Jennifer Warren Kubik have proposed an innovative solution to improving Indias infrastructure that has significant implications for capital markets and development beyond the infrastructure project itself.
For India to continue growth on a sustainable path, investment in infrastructure is critical. Infrastructure bottlenecks are seen as one of the leading obstacles for India in realising its economic growth potential, says the study. Indian infrastructure development needs substantial financing. While Prime Minister Manmohan Singh estimates that a total of $320 billion would be needed for infrastructure development by 2012, Rajat Nag, managing director of the Asian Development Bank, suggest that $500 billion was needed.
Chen and Kubik suggest approaching this problem by initially raising capital through public offerings (IPOs) and securitisations globally for infrastructure projects. This approach, coupled with financial innovations, could help smooth the frictions which lay at the root of Indias infrastructure development problems, say the authors. The private sectors ability to attain efficiency in operations, management, and profitability has been needed for numerous financial and economic reasons in countries that are privatising public works assets roadways, airports, and both power and water utilities.

These were pretty good. Made to the recipe with the exception of the creole seasoning. I was ready to put it in when I found I didn't have any! So added some paprika, basil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder and some red pepper flakes. I used my frozen green beans which were a little watery as opposed to store green beans so I ended up cooking them a little longer. I think the butter is unneeded in this dish with all the bacon in it. Unless you use just a couple of Tbsp and saute the onions, peppers, and garlic first, then add the beans and bacon. The bacon also could be cut in half. Had a good flavor, wasn't too spicy for us. I will probably make again. Thanks for the recipe.
These were really pretty darned good and a far cry from plain old cooked frozen green beans. GREAT way to doctor them up, but I can't imagine using the amount of cayenne pepper called for. I can't imagine there's an "asbestos tongue" around that could tolerate that kind of heat! And in our case, I omitted it altogether. I sautéed the bacon, then added red and yellow bell pepper (rather than green) for color, then the garlic. Once that was cooked and seasoned I added the cooked, French-style green beans. I used half the amount of bacon called for and it was plenty. My four star rating is assuming that the directed amount of cayenne will not be included.

Good side dish, did not use the butter b/c bacon had plenty of fat, used cajun spice b/c that's what I had. Many variations of spices can be used with this recipe as a base, will keep subbing and inventing, Thanx for the recipe

Think of Mission Cheese as a wine bar in reverse. You'll start by ordering from the list of 60 different cheeses, then opt for a riesling with your gouda, and maybe circle back for some sharp cheddar.
Mission Cheese's owner, Sarah Dvorak's favorite cheeses are Kunik (a New York triple-cream cheese made from goat's and cow's milk) and Dunbarton Blue (a cow's-milk cheddar from Wisconsin).
"Get a couple of the pressed cheese sandwiches and split them. Super tasty!"
At the door, the familiar, pungent cheese fragrance greets you. Then, upon stepping inside, you'll find that the space is appropriately cavernous with concrete walls and ceilings, reclaimed barnwood paneling, and a walnut bar with okra-colored tiles to make it inviting enough for several rounds of fromage blanc.
Mission Cheese is not a touch-and-smell setup as much as a a point-and-buy. The cheese selection is all-American, with a selection from cheesemakers from Vermont to Wisconsin to, of course, California. But on a Wednesday evening, I didn't see anyone picking up cheese to bring home. Most everyone was enjoying glasses of wine with cheese flights, pressed cheese sandwiches on Della Fattoria bread, and macaroni and cheese with bread crumbs. (Late-nighters, be forewarned that Mission Cheese closes at 8 pm.)

Clinton residents Bill and Lois Hall have been chosen to represent Iowa as citizen heroes as Iowa plays Nebraska in the second annual "Heroes Game" football contest on Friday.
To the couple, however, it's their dogs that deserve the recognition.
For more than 15 years, the Halls have used their dogs for search and rescue missions in different communities through their nonprofit and served as reserve deputies with the Clinton County Sheriff's Office. They currently own three trained dogs: Hawk, a 9-year-old German Shepherd; Deker, an 8-year-old Collie; and Strider, a 2-year-old German Shepherd.
Two of the Halls' dogs, Hawk and Deker, are also therapy dogs. The Halls' dogs have provided 25 years of service for therapy visits to local schools and hospitals. They also are active in the Clinton Police Department's Citizen Police Academy.
"To call us heroes doesn't seem to match up for us," Bill said. "From our perspective, our dogs are the heroes. We made the conscious decision to do this for our community, they do it because we asked them to. We are honored."
The Halls started working with seeing eye dogs when they lived in Delaware before coming to Clinton.
"It's really the dogs that have brought us to what we do," Lois said.
The Halls were nominated because they provide more than 1,500 hours a year volunteering their specially trained K-9's through the search and rescue and therapy work.
Clinton County Sherriff Rick Lincoln during a press conference on Wednesday morning said he nominated the Halls because of the amount of time they give to helping the community.
"In addition to all the hours they volunteer to Clinton County, we realize all of the other activities they volunteer their time with in the community," Lincoln said. "This is a perfect opportunity to show them some true appreciation not just from the Sherriff's office but from everyone for all the hours they're willing to donate for free."
The Halls were one of 58 nominations from Iowa and Nebraska received by Hy-Vee stores and the Red Cross for two committees of Red Cross leaders to make the selection from.
"You guys have really exemplified what it means to be a local hero," Executive Director of the Gateway Area Chapter of the Red Cross Amber Wood said, "You make a difference to us."
Even after being praised, the Halls remained humble.
"We just do it because it's the right thing to do," Bill said.
The couple will be recognized on the field during the sold out Iowa versus Nebraska game Friday in Iowa City.

Matthew Herper, Forbes Staff
I cover science and medicine, and believe this is biology's century.
As Steve Jobs biographer Walter Isaacson made the PR rounds everywhere from 60 Minutes to the Daily Show, the terribleness of Jobs' too-early death has come into focus: that Jobs evaded conventional medicine when his tumor first appeared, may have died as a result, and regretted it.
"I think that he kind of felt that if you ignore something, if you don't want something to exist, you can have magical thinking," Isaacson told 60 Minutes. "We talked about this a lot. He wanted to talk about it, how he regretted it….I think he felt he should have been operated on sooner."
It's not just that Jobs' refusal of treatment is "crazy," as former Intel chief Andy Grove put it to Isaacson. This tragedy sprung from the very thing that made him so great: his unwillingness to believe that technology needed to be clumsy, ugly, or difficult. In consumer products, this led to the MacIntosh and the iPhone. In animation, it created the Pixar canon. But biology and medicine are messy, and demanding a magic solution doesn't always produce one.
There's more here than just the simple lesson that people with cancer should listen to their doctors about getting their tumor cut out, or that you can't cure cancer with diet or acupuncture, as Jobs apparently hoped he could. The kind of innovation Steve Jobs practiced, probably the type of innovation we mythologize and lionize most since personal computers started changing the fabric of society three decades ago, does not and has not translated to medicine in the same way.
To some extent, everything that Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and the folks at Google have done to change our world springs from a single innovation: the creation of the microprocessor in the early 1970s. Every computer technology has sprung from this fundamental innovation. If we really want to talk about the biggest heroes of the digital age, we should always be starting with Robert Noyce, the Intel co-founder, or Jack Kilby, the physicist who won the Nobel Prize for his transistor work.
But we don't. Neither of those men ever bonded with the larger public the way Jobs did. And that's because Jobs (like Gates, and Sergey Brin and Larry Page, really), was solving a different kind of problem: how to make a powerful new technology useable to people. And Jobs, with an artist's vision, went a step further: he made it perfect. Like Ferdinand Porsche building cars, he made the mundane beautiful, building technological gadgets in which people could see themselves.
Certainly, hospitals could use the Jobs touch. In a stunning eulogy, Jobs' sister Mona Simpson recounted how an intubated Jobs asked for a sketchpad in the ICU. "He designed new fluid monitors and x-ray equipment," she said. "He redrew that not-quite-special-enough hospital unit. And every time his wife walked into the room, I watched his smile remake itself on his face."
The real innovations in medicine, like you alluded to, are the ones that keep you out of the hospital
I think the most powerful "innovations" in this regard are many, many years old. Then involve a healthy diet, regular exercise, and a moderate amount of sunlight.
Unfortunately, society cries foul when you suggest that physically fit people who take ownership of their healthcare should pay less than a non-compliant diabetic. So, we'll continue to have a payment system that rewards hospitals for treating the most patients and performing the most tests/procedures, while neglecting to reward the real heroes of the healthcare system: those who take responsibility for their own health, as humans have done for millions of years.
At MX.com; the health care information exchange facilitating Meaningful Use and healthcare transformation through the exchange of best-practices and innovations developed by world class health systems and research institutions.
This information is being exchanged by licensing proven and tested Solutions (toolkits, procedures and guidelines, etc.) from one hospital and deploying it at another.
The obvious benefits are not only reduced developmental costs and rapid deployment, but in the larger sense, saving more people's lives by allowing the "cream to rise to the top" of the healthcare system.
Many healthcare "innovators" struggle to get more hospitals to adopt their Solutions. MX.com is connecting these important healthcare innovators with Hospitals in need of world Solutions (again, these are simply "better made" toolkits, guidelines and procedures that can lead to increased efficiency and enhanced performance, which should be reflected in better outcomes for the patient) by allowing the innovators to capitalize on their inventions and research. The "Quality" aspect is built in and most of these Solutions are supported like software today is 'updated' therefore roe they stay up-to-date to current trends and needs. It's imperative for Hospitals to focus on increasing Quality Care substantially in the years ahead to succeed. Go to MX.com to learn more.
Great post, sir. It seems that there needs to be some trust-busting on these healthcare monopolies, so that we can actually have some innovation. Idk if that will even work though, I have no experience in that end of the "healthcare" spectrum.
The problem is people only use the healthcare system when they need it, they take that bet that they will be healthy but still expect an ambulance to show up if they get into a car crash. We can expect that because the Hippocratic oath demands a doctor treat someone who needs it, instead of asking if we can pay first. But that money has to come from somewhere. An insurance model needs a stable base paying into it and relatively few people needing a pay out. That model doesn't work in the situation you describe. Yes most of the best ways to stay healthy are simple remedies, the human body needs certain kinds of fuel and is designed for strenuous physical activity. But our healthcare system does not work as a private industry. Insurance systems are more efficient the more people in them, larger payouts for more people and at lower rates. We all should be insured for the same reason we should all give blood, they can't bring a stone into an OR.
What is perhaps most surprising is that Jobs' (or even Gates' or Brin's) magic has not even had much effect on the information technology systems of hospitals. As an example, why is the interface of most EMR systems today far worse than that of Yahoo Mail from ten years ago?
The answer lies in who chooses the technology, and how often.
For consumer technologies, millions of users get to vote (as with the iPhone vs Android, and Orbitz vs Kayak vs Expedia vs Hipmunk, etc) and that produces competition and innovation. Further, the ease of switching to another app means that developers must keep innovating to please those users
With giant hospitals (or other large organizations), the users (e.g., the doctors and nurses) don't get a vote at all (much less the patients!) — buying decisions rest with only a few people (e.g., the CEO and the CTO) — and then the high cost of switching disincentives the vendor to improve the product.
When users make the decision to purchase or use technology, the result is technology that pleases users. Within our hospital systems, however, the users have to just "suck it up", using IT systems that decrease productivity and frustrate doctors, nurses, and patients alike.
Allow me to give your comment a huge "thumbs up."
As a PhD student in Biomedical Informatics, with a focus in clinical informatics, I can attest that my personal experiences researching and observing in this field support your statement very strongly.
I have spoken with many nurses about the information technology they use every day…and I have never found one who felt they were adequately consulted beforehand.
I have spoken with many physicians employing EHR's in their practice…and have never found one without a long list of major interface issues with their EHR software (regardless of which software they were using….they are all AWFUL and have the potential to contribute to a bad outcome at any given point in time…some slightly less so than others)
And as of yet, I have never heard of a hospital system that allowed employees to use, vote on, and openly comment about a pending IT purchase. Sure, there have been many attempts – some successful – to ease IT adoption by providing plenty of training and preparation in advance, but by the time this process starts the decision has already been made and the train is already rolling downhill.
However, we can't blame those making IT decisions for not taking a team-based, consensus approach….after all they are simply following the lead of the rest of our healthcare system.
I am a RN and work in clinical information systems for a health system for over 15years. What you say is true! We are held hostage by our vendor because of the huge investment we put into the system. When you look at a clinical system you can usually tell what year the core code was programmed, 1987 C/C++, 1996 java, 2001 c#. Most vendors have a combination of all 3 because during late 90′s and early 2000 they were buying up companies that had products that covered different area's of health care then they throw them together with a hodge podge interface that crashes with every upgrade.
Nurses/Clinicians should walk in the patients room and the systems should start recording what state the patient is in: Vitals, weight, IV rate and doses, what side the patient is on, what devices are on the patient and what is their state. When the nurses walk out or hit there computer they should just be validating what care they gave and what the patient state was. Nurses/Clinicians should know what Care has to be given b4 they enter the room: Meds due, Turn, pain level, etc and etc. In our system they have to painstakingly locate and click each point if they want to copy forward they have to bring everything forward for a time period and take out what is not necessary. And a GUI interface built for a Ipad or tablet…forget about it. Useful reporting and Dashboards for the people giving care virtually nonexistant.
Very Interesting Post.
Integrated information- management environments affect the
practice of medicine and biomedical research in coming years.
Medical computer science, medical computing, medical informatics,
clinical informatics, nursing informatics, bioinformatics, and health informatics they are the offshoots of computer application to medicine.
Had Steve Jobs applied his mind to go in for innovations that affect medical field, it would have been great contribution.

Update 12:38 p.m.: Nutritional supplement seller Herbalife lost more than 4% Thursday, after hedge fund manager Bill Ackman spent more three hours making the case for why his Pershing Square Capital has a massive short position in the company's shares.
Ackman, who alleges that Herbalife is a "pyramid scheme," said he considers any profit he makes "blood money" and will donate his personal after-tax windfall, whatever it is, to charity, as he did with a previous short in MBIA several years ago.
In response to claims from the Herbalife CEO Michael Johnson that Ackman's play is "blatant market manipulation" ahead of a Friday expiration on put options in the company's stock, Ackman said that while Pershing Square has a huge short position, it does not have any positions in options.
"Our target price is zero, because we think the business will fail," Ackman said.
Shares of nutritional supplement marketer Herbalife were down again in pre-market trading Thursday, ahead of a midtown Manhattan presentation at which Pershing Square Capital's Bill Ackman will explain why he is shorting the stock.
Ackman's presentation, set to begin at 9:30, is expected to delve into Herbalife's supplement sales, and whether its products are actually getting into the hands of end users as the company claims, or just being bought up by sales reps.
CEO Michael Johnson gave a passionate defense of the company in an interview with CNBC Wednesday, after news brokeof Ackman's short case, which is expected to brand the business a "pyramid scheme."
"This is not about Herbalife's business model, this is about Bill Ackman's business model," Johnson said, calling the hedge fund manager's actions "blatant market manipulation."
Earlier this year, Johnson had to fight off pressure from another money manager renowned for spotting shaky companies to bet against, David Einhorn. While Einhorn has never disclosed whether he had or has a short position in Herbalife, he asked pointed questions on a May conference call that led many to conclude that to be the case.
Ackman's latest high-profile position comes as another one of his plays has been languishing. Pershing Square's founder has been a vocal supporter of J.C. Penney and its CEO, former Apple executive Ron Johnson. That stock is down more than 40% this year though, a black mark on Ackman's portfolio.
Shares of Herbalife fell 1.3% in pre-market trade Thursday, after losing more than 15% at Wednesday's lows before finishing the day with a 12.1% decline.

I thought that multilevel marketing was just the polite term for a pyramid scheme anyway. HerbaLife is not alone in what they do or how they do it.
Bill Ackman's business model is an unsustainable reverse pyramind . Short the stock, then get more and more others to short it. The model falls apart when the last guy shorts it, and is left holding the bag when people start buying it again.
How could a company with sales over a Billion every quarter actually be worth $0. Even if distributors are really customers, that's still worth a lot more than $0/share.
Herbalife distributors as well as clients buy Herbalife products because they love it, There is no other reason. I personally do it, as far as my entire family for the last 18 years. I cannot agree more with Mr. Johnson, all the claims made on the conference are bogus. If you don't like it – you return it. How many products have been returned last year? 0.5% of total sales. Exceptional product quality and individual approach, this is what distinguish Herbalife from the competitors.
Pyramid schemes are teh suck. $0 / share is only barely fair.
