Thanks for your feedback. I have to say, however, I feel like a broken record, because I'm always harping on the acoustics in restaurants.
This year alone, I've taken to task Eat the Rich in Shaw ("not the place to meet the friend in need of a heart-to-heart or the acquaintance known to cup his ear in conversation"); Republic in Takoma Park ("a pain in the ear"); Bearnaise on the Hill ("clamorous"); and Zentan on Thomas Circle ("too loud to to allow for eavesdropping").
After my feature on restaurants that don't take reservations this weekend, dozens of readers suggested I reduce the overall rating of my subjects based on such annoyances, including high sound levels.
I'm looking forward to addressing your questions and comments. But first, some restaurant updates:
The forthcoming Argentine steakhouse from Philadelphia's Jose Garces in the Loews Madison Hotel now has a name: Rural Society, inspired by La Exposicion Rural, an annual cultural and political event held in Buenos Aires since 1866. As such, says Garces, the new restaurant's design will be "sophisticated and warm, even a touch sultry." Think warm woods, a bar specializing in whiskey and Italian aperitifs and a 10-foot grill that will burn wood imported from Argentina. The chef says his interest in the country and the theme dates back to when he cooked at Bolivar in New York in the late 1990s. In addition to lots of cuts of beef, much of it from Uraguay, the menu will highlight empanadas, potatoes and pasta dishes. The 150-seat Rural Society (formerly the Federalist) will open "mid-summer," says Garces, with chef de cuisine Luis Goral, formerly of Amada in Philadelphia and Mercat a la Planxa in Chicago, in the kitchen.
Bourbon Steak in Georgetown's Four Seasons Hotel has a history of luring strong kitchen talent (Adam Sobel, David Varley), proven once again by the restaurant's latest hire: Joe Palma. The replacement for John Critchley, who departed in March, returns to the market from High Cotton in Charleston, South Carolina, where he served as executive chef. Palma previously worked in Washington at Westend Bistro and under top chefs Yannick Cam and Michel Richard at the late Le Paradou and Citronelle, respectively. His San Francisco-based boss, Michael Mina, says Palma beat out three other contenders for the job and came with glowing reviews from French chef Eric Ripert, under whom Palma worked at Le Bernardin, the four-star seafood temple in New York. "The restaurant has grown up nicely," says Mina of his DC dining destination. "It's already established for steak" and, with his new hire, "will become better-known for fish." Palma starts mid-June. His debut will be accompanied by new furniture for the restaurant's patio, plus a dessert trolley in addition to a bourbon cart.
Ashok Bajaj says he's closing Oval Room June 30 for a "total renovation" of the American restaurant helmed by executive chef Tony Conte. The veteran restaurateur expects to spend about $750,000 on the make-over for his 20 year-old dining destination, which will be refreshed with Italian chairs, German carpet, marble columns, modern art and new restrooms. Beginning next month, Oval Room will be offering a two-course lunch for $25 and a three-course dinner for $50; Bajaj, who hopes to reopen the first week of August, is currently on the hunt for a chef de cuisine to work under Conte.
America Eats Tavern is expected to set sail the first week of June. The restaurant that started as a temporary partnership with the Foundation for the National Archives in July 2011, and shuttered July 4 the next year, will be resurrected in the Ritz-Carlton Tysons Corner, the former home of Michel by Michel Richard. Chef Jose Andres and his ThinkFoodGroup team, who brought the original concept to life in the former Cafe Atlantico space in Penn Quarter, will showcase dishes and drinks from all over the U.S. Look for twists on classics including she crab soup (set off with "air bread") and S'mores (made with foie gras and bourbon-smoked salt). Heading up the kitchen will be Nate Waugaman, formerly of Tallula and Eat Bar in Arlington.
Last but not least, Savino Recine has sold his Finemondo on F St. NW to a first-time restaurant operator, Kaiser Gill. The transaction leaves Racine with just one Italian dining destination, the 28 year-old Primi Piatti on I St. "I'm one step closer to retirement," says the food scene veteran.
On a house-keeping note, I'll be away the rest of this week (Helsinki, here I come!), but back to chat with you again May 28.

The collection includes one of Pitney's biggest hits "Only Love Can Break A Heart" plus some other Bacharach songs that don't seem to be covered as much by the numerous others who have done them over the years. It features such songs as "24 Hours from Tulsa," "Little Betty Falling Star," "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence," and "True Love Never Runs Smooth." (Weirdly, there are a few non-Bacharach compositions included.) (Cover has a cutout hole and some wear.) © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Favorite pizza topping
Have been making pizza on the grill while the good weather lasts. My favorite topping is carmelized onions, toasted pine nuts, goat cheese and arugala. What's yours?
After a slice in Marseille this past spring, our favorite is tomato sauce (oregano and a bit of orange zest when making it), black olives, anchovies and then a sprinkling of parsley once out of the oven. So, so delicious. We bought a pizza stone so we could make this at home.
Usually just tomato, fresh mozz, basil, salt and olive oil.
Have made a white version with ricotta, mushrooms and prosciutto that was pretty fantastic.
I have two actually. Spread a couple of tablespoons of pesto on top of pizza crust, add slices of mozzarella cheese, top with sliced, fresh tomatoes. Add good parmesan all over the top, sprinkle with olive oil and pop it into the oven, yum.
Second one, spead pizza crust with 1 tablespoon of good olive oil, place sliced pears, pinwheel style on top. Add thinly sliced proscuitto, chunked gorganzole cheese. Place in oven, remove when cooked, toss on a handfull of toasted chopped walnuts and a drizzle of honey....yum too!
re: grampart
Can I get your dough recipe? And do you stretch by hand and leave the crust deliberately thick? (I like thin crust)
re: Soop
It is a thin crust, stretched by hand, with a outer edge/rim that has a lot of "oven rise". Note that my flour and water measurements are by weight. This recipe is for (2) 14" pies.
I make my dough using the dough cycle of a bread machine and have never been tempted to do it any other way. I use the Lehmann calculator http://www.pizzamaking.com/dough_calc... , King Arthur bread flour
(sometimes a mix of 2/3 KABF and 1/3 KA All purpose), 63% hydration, 0.1
thickness factor, 3 day refrigerated rise, Fibrament stone in a 550 oven
(preheated for 1 hour AFTER the oven comes to temp), and an approximate 7-8
minute bake. Flour and water are weighed on my digital scale. NEVER a rolling
pin. Let dough sit at room temp for 2 hours before shaping. Good luck!
Flour (100%): 525.17 g | 18.52 oz | 1.16 lbs
Water (63%): 330.86 g | 11.67 oz | 0.73 lbs
IDY (0.20%): 1.05 g | 0.04 oz | 0 lbs | 0.35 tsp | 0.12 tbsp
Salt (1.0%): 5.25 g | 0.19 oz | 0.01 lbs | 1.09 tsp | 0.36 tbsp
Oil (1%): 5.25 g | 0.19 oz | 0.01 lbs | 1.17 tsp | 0.39 tbsp
Sugar (1%): 5.25 g | 0.19 oz | 0.01 lbs | 1.32 tsp | 0.44 tbsp
Total (166.2%): 872.83 g | 30.79 oz | 1.92 lbs | TF = 0.1
Single Ball: 436.41 g | 15.39 oz | 0.96 lbs
re: grampart
bloody hell, no wonder it looks so good!
Such a shame there's no easy way around it like no knead bread. I measure everything by eye, having no scales. Still, I'll try and give this the best shot I can.
Need a stone too...
Caramelized onions, thyme, broccoli, and mozzarella. Roasted broccoli in itself is incredible--add caramelized onions, thyme, and cheese to it, and it's mindblowing.
re: grampart
This looks really, really good. And I gather the (very thin) potatoes got done.
re: c oliver
They were parboiled for a few minutes and dried well before using. Next time, I think I'd finish the pizza cook with a minute or so on the top shelf to brown them up a bit more but, yes they were definitely done.
re: grampart
Parboiled before or after slicing? Thanks. Sound terrif.
re: c oliver
After slicing.
My favorite is sliced tomato, chopped asparagus, roasted garlic, mushroom, toasted pine nuts and capers. Toss a little torn basil on at the end, drizzle with a little EVOO and enjoy! If I'm eating by myself, I ,generally, use Naan bread for the pizza.
buffalo mozzerella, fresh basil and parma ham. And a decent marinara sauce. Sometimes with grated parmesan (reggiano) , and sometimes swapping rocket for the basil.
Got to keep it simple! :D
re: Janet from Richmond
What you said - exactly!!!
2 favorites. 1 with pickled beets, caramelized onions, bacon, goat cheese, with olive oil base. the other with olive oil base, toasted pine nuts, fontina, caramelized onions & sliced grapes.
I prefer "white pizza" at home. Garlic olive oil base, topped w/ cubes of buffalo mozz, roma tomato slices, fresh basil and maybe a little sprinkle of black olive tapenade. If I have it, I'll also add a sprinkle of diced, fried paprika bacon (sometimes called gypsy bacon) and a drizzle of the rendered fat after the pizza comes out of the oven.
garlic & onion
bacon & onion
onion & pepperoni
all depends on the mood! but onions are usually involved. Lucky my husband likes them too.

Albemarle County supervisors plan on sending a letter to the office of Gov. Bob McDonnell to express concern over the way agents with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) allegedly acted with a University of Virginia student purchasing water.
"I think we have a responsibility to do this," Chairwoman Ann Mallek said.
Elizabeth Daly, a 20-year-old UVa. student, purchased a package of sparkling water from Harris Teeter in the Barracks Road Shopping Center when she was apparently approached by undercover agents with guns drawn. The agents suspected the underage student had purchased alcohol.
Daly was arrested on multiple charges, but all have since been dropped. The alleged incident happened months ago, but the details just came out last week.
Mallek added the item to the agenda at Wednesday's Board of Supervisors meeting, saying there "needs to make a change in training or something."
She received support from some fellow supervisors.
"Clearly, this incident indicates there are either inadequate guidelines and training in place," Supervisor Dennis Rooker said. "If there are, they're not being followed. Either way, something needs to change in the system."
Supervisor Rodney Thomas said he wanted to receive more information about the incident. The ABC has denied any wrongdoing in the incident.
But Supervisor Ken Boyd said while he agreed what happened was inappropriate, it's not the board's place to develop a formal position on every incident that happens in the county or beyond.
Boyd noted that the alleged incident happened within Charlottesville city limits, not Albemarle County, but Mallek countered that it could have just as easily happened over the border.
Supervisor Duane Snow also supported the need for a letter.
"I don't think they'll run and change because they got [a letter] from us, but I think a letter will make a difference," he said. "Somewhere along the line, something breaks down. Someone ought to be looking into training along these lines as, 'OK, if we're suspecting this person has a backpack bomb on them, yes, let's do that.'"
County staff will draft a letter described as "general in nature" and bring it back to their board for approval before sending to the governor's office.

Samui International Jazz Music Festival – Introducing the artistsFriday, 17 August 2012 12:11
The third weeklong Samui International Jazz Music Festival opens on Sunday 14th October at the Amari Palm Reef/ Chaweng. Expect yet another spectacular display of Jazz, a fun week where guests will be treated to fine wine, food and excellent Jazz. The festival is dedicated to the theme of Tropical Jazz and the locations for the various concerts have been especially identified to enhance the tropical feel with guests and performers, which we hope will manage to be both upbeat and laid-back at the same time.
Starting of the festival will be a preview concert of Paulette McWilliams, a Chicago native, who you've definitely heard before! She has been on stage and performed with artists like Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross and her discography reads like the who's who in music history: Everyone from Sammy Davis Jr. to Placido Domingo, with every genre of music in between. Don't miss her, when she comes to perform on the main-stage of the festival at Chaweng Beach Sat. 20 October – FREE ENTRY!
It was so much fun to have them here last year, so we invited them back: Susan Harmer and her band Tropic Green. 7 band members, 4 nationalities, coming from Japan, Singapore, Cuba and the USA, performing original tunes. You can hear their energetic
performance also on Sunday Oct. 14th.
This years line-up is truly international, with CaboCubaJazz feat. Melissa Fortes and Yerman Aponte from Cape Verde and Venezuela, performing Latin Jazz which for sure will get you up on the feet dancing.
Also performing Peter Beets, from the Netherlands, a world class jazz pianist, who has shared the stage with jazz greats like Chick Corea, Wynton Marsalis, Dee Dee Bridgewater.
From South Africa meet the Karen Devroop Jazz Quartet. Their quartet's repertoire spans a very broad spectrum of styles and genres ranging from Bebop to Latin and contemporary Jazz. Karen Devroop has just recently appeared as stage act in the US with 'Earth Wind and Fire', 'Chicago', Jill Scott and Queen Latifah.
Any performance by Eddie C means enthusiasm, glamour, warmth and an explosion of energy. In the Netherlands and abroad he is famous for his unconventional interpretations of Jazz, Funk, Latin, Pop and Dance music. Eddie performed through the years in all the leading theaters of Europe with artists such as Sting, Chaka Khan, Candy
Dulfer, Toto, among others.
It's no Jazz Festival in Thailand without our star Koh Mr. Saxman who will take on the stage on Friday 19th October together with the Beets Brothers performing a 'Tribute to the King'.
Get a chance to meet the artists at the Opening Night on Oct. 14 at Amari Palm Reef

Future Classic: 1984 Chrysler Minivans

Think of what the automotive landscape looked like nigh on 25 years ago. Mentioning "family car" in 1983 would have conjured a station wagon. Some of us dig wagons, while others think we're daft because of the stigma they still carry. There's no denying that a wagon is an excellent way to transport kids and stuff, but those beasts of yesteryear often led to yearnings for an alternative. We all remember getting carsick while sitting in the rear-facing third row torture chamber, cut off from the rest of the family and their future-looking vantage point. The tailgunner position was a great way... Read More

The hype surrounding the impending departure of Katie Couric from NBC's Today reached a new low this morning -- particularly for Denver-area viewers.

Schoolyard slurs, an incest charge and county social services shatter a black family's Kiowa dream.

Women wages are often in doubt whether they reach the same as a man's wage. It does seem that inequality in women wages are a big problem in 2014 for the simple fact that men are being paid more than a woman who is doing the exact same! It doesn't seem fair however; this is something that happens more and more today. Even in 2014, the inequality between men and women's wages are great.Read more about gender pay gap http://www.aauw.org/research/the-simple-truth-about-the-gender-pay-gap/
Different Times
Forty or fifty years ago, the world was a very different place. Women were becoming more and more involved in the roles that you often see today such as law, business and many other simple industries. However, back then decades ago the wages were not equal, it was fair to say that men were soaring ahead of the women on their wages because that was how the world worked. The man was the one who earned the most because he was the one providing for the family.Click here to see some working women facts published by United States Labor Department
However, over the years all that has changed. Men are still the heads of the household but more women got into the work place and the need for women to work was important also. There were times when the need for women to start working was important and today everyone needs to work in order to survive. That doesn't mean the women wages are equal.
How Things Have Changed but Haven't Much Improved
To be honest, the years have rolled by so quickly but when it comes to equality with women wages, it hasn't much improved. Its 2014 but it doesn't seem that the women wages have increased all that much. Yes, women are getting a fairly good wage depending on what sector they work in but at the same time, men are still being paid much more than what women are.
Wages are in a good form today but really the amount of inequality that is seen is still very much a problem. It is true however because in many average sectors such as computing, accounting, general managers jobs and most other sectors are all lacking in equality. It has become such a huge problem and one that many are suffering.
Wages Need To Be Equal
There are some jobs that pay women well but that is mainly because there are very few men in that area. However, in most nine to five jobs, men are soaring ahead on pay and they are being paid a lot more than what most women are. Women wages need to be equal if the world is to be equal! In many parts of the world, pay is averaged amongst men and women however in some parts of the world the inequality is terrible and women do not get treated fairly, pay wise.
It is 2014 but still the problems with inequality in many areas including women wages are terrible! Though, let's be fair, there are some jobs which men don't do or are found in fewer numbers which ensures women are paid fairly. However, there are also jobs which have very few women that don't treat them the same as a man's wages even though they have been in the job for the same amount of time and have as much experience also.

No, this is not some creation from the backwoods of Georgia. Fiat actually partnered with Mercurio Cinematografica to wed a Panda 4x4 with a Jeep CJ7. The result is the plucky face of the Panda astride a set of 59-inch tractor tires. The whole contraption sits 12.8 feet tall and took just over two weeks to build from start to finish.
We imagine driving this thing is a bit like trying to coax a jello mold down the road. There's no word on whether engineers kept the Panda's engine and transmission or abandoned them for the AMC bits. Our money's on the latter. Fiat says the hardest part was getting the brakes, steering, clutch and accelerator controls to cooperate with the archaic bones below.
So, why build it? Fiat is currently in the midst of an advertising campaign that highlight's the Panda's attributes, and building a Big Foot version of the little hatchback was the easiest way to show off the vehicle's off-road prowess. You can watch it play in the snow in the video below.

Energy intensity is the ratio of energy input per unit of economic output, or the amount of energy used to produce a dollar's worth of goods and services. This measures the energy efficiency of the state's economy.
From 1997 to 2009, the State's gross state product (GSP) increased 27 percent from $60,252 million to $76,545 million, while Nebraska's overall energy consumption grew 18.2 percent from 642.4 trillion British thermal units (Btu) in 1997 to 759.1 trillion Btu in 2009.
An 18.2–percent increase in Nebraska's total energy consumption resulted in a decrease in energy intensity of 7 percent and a 27–percent increase of the GSP. In other words, despite an increase in energy consumption, Nebraska experienced a larger increase in the production of real value in goods and services. This indicates that Nebraskans are using energy more efficiently.
Another measure of energy consumption intensity is reported in Total Energy Consumption Per Capita. An explanation of energy intensity indicators is in the report Energy Intensity Indicators.

Hi: 8° Lo:4°
By Rob Holcroft Friday 14 December 2012 Updated: 14/12 15:37
Malvern Theatres
UK Productions triumphantly return to Malvern Theatres this festive season, with the magical, rags to riches tale of Cinderella. They have breathed refreshing, new life into their show this year with the accomplished director, Scott Ritchie, whose choreographic background shines through in the telling of this fairytale.
A seasoned panto professional, Ritchie slickly directs a lovely cast to present a great story, with traditional pantomimic elements, interspersed with song and dance spectaculars.
Clearly inspired, Alastair Bull's choreography is his best yet, with highlights including the Keystone Cops inspired woodland hunt and 'Voguing' in the palace ballroom. The professional dancers, many of whom are graduates of Cecilia Hall Dance Centre, excel themselves and revel in the opportunities afforded them, as do the current Cecilia Hall girls.
Rob Thorne Jnr brings his musical expertise to the mix to wow us with great vocal harmonies and instrumental accompaniment.
The legendary, iconic and truly wonderful Ruth Madoc opens the show as a mere 'Fairy-on-top-of-the-Christmas-tree' but soon finds herself promoted to the more matriarchal character of the Fairy Godmother that we expect. Hi-Di-Hi fans are in for a treat too! The brilliant Jamie Rickers gets the award for 'The Best Entrance On Stage Ever In The History Of Pantomime'.
His performance, as Buttons, is as hilarious as his physical comedy is impressive. Emma Nowell is absolutely adorable and perfect as the down-trodden, yet ever hopeful and kind Cinderella.
Don Crann portrays an understated and gentle Baron Hardup, while Bobbie Kent's vertically challenged, ageing, ugly sister provides a perfect contrast to Anthony West's more youthful and imposing sibling, whose fabulousness is reflected in his fantastic frocks.
An unexpected delight is to be found in the roles of Prince Charming and his valet Dandini, superbly played by Owen Thompson and Bobby Windebank respectively, as they croon, tap dance and even energetically 'Gangnam Style' it through the show.
This double act breathe a much needed and very welcome, new life and energy into these two characters, completing the ensemble.
Your Christmastime won't be complete without this theatrical treat for all the family. Cinderella runs until Sunday, January 6. Check with Malvern Theatres for times of performances. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Despite Hutcheson Medical Center's deepening losses, the Fort Oglethorpe hospital's president and CEO has taken home a compensation package that's grown year after year.
In fiscal year 2009 Charles Stewart pocketed a $69,750 bonus, bringing his total compensation to more than $425,000 with additional benefits -- the same year the hospital lost about $7.3 million, according to Hutcheson's 990 tax form and unaudited financial statements.
Dade County Executive Ted Rumley said the compensation is "totally ridiculous. I couldn't even hold my head up to the people involved in the hospital with them knowing that I was making that much money," he said. "You got the hospital going down, down, down. I just don't see how the board let that happen."
"Wolves at the door"
The North Georgia hospital's financial stresses show no signs of letting up. Losing more than $1 million a month in this fiscal year, Hutcheson Medical Center has just 15 days of liquid cash on hand, its chief financial officer estimated Thursday.
"So the wolf is at the door," said Bill Cohen, member of the Hospital Authority of Walker, Dade and Catoosa Counties' board of trustees, during the board's quarterly meeting Thursday.
"Yes, sir," answered Gerald Faircloth, Hutcheson's chief financial officer.
The struggling hospital still has patients and revenue coming through the door to keep it afloat, but Hutcheson leaders are hoping a partnership with Erlanger Health System in Chattanooga will help shore up its bottom line and cash reserves.
"The relationship with Erlanger is going to allow us to set a new course," Stewart said after the meeting.
Hutcheson Medical Center executive compensation:
2007 -- $286,997
2008 -- $395,289
2009 -- $331,752
Ceo pay
Charles Stewart's base salary plus bonuses, tax-free benefits and expense accounts:
2007 -- $337,081
2008 -- $418,419
2009 -- $425,745
Source: Hutcheson's IRS 990 tax form
Hutcheson's net income:
Fiscal year 2006 -- Loss of $1.4 million
Fiscal year 2007 -- Profit of $766,766
Fiscal year 2008 -- Loss of $467,517
Fiscal year 2009 (unaudited) -- $7.3 million loss
Fiscal year 2010 (unaudited) -- About $7 million loss
Source: Hutcheson Medical Center financial statements and officials
In late October, Hutcheson and Erlanger entered into a 60-day due diligence process to consider a strategic partnership. Erlanger recently has submitted a preliminary proposal to HMC leaders, who will respond soon, Martha Attaway, Hutcheson Medical Center board chairwoman, in an e-mail Thursday.
Trustees of the hospital authority gained a greater foothold in negotiations with Erlanger on Thursday, voting to appoint members to a "transition team" that will have a stake in the partnership discussions.
There's a "growing spirit of cooperation" among the three major boards that govern Hutcheson, Cohen said. "We're going to work together to make this happen."
But during the Thursday night meeting, tension was simmering between members of the county-appointed hospital authority board, which owns the hospital building, and leaders of Hutcheson Medical Center Inc., the private nonprofit that leases and operates the hospital. Trustees pushed for more transparency during board meetings, particularly regarding finances, which usually are discussed in closed sessions.
"Probably half the people in three counties know we're broke," Cohen said. "We're not giving up any secret information."
Hutcheson lost more than $7 million in fiscal years 2009 and 2010, according to unaudited financial statements.
The hospital's fiscal year 2010 loss would have been greater if it hadn't been for the $3.5 million sale of Hutcheson Home Health that year, Faircloth said at the meeting.
Hutcheson, a publicly owned community hospital, is governed by the boards of five entities, including the hospital authority board. The authority owns the hospital building and oversees Hutcheson's 40-year lease to Hutcheson Medical Center Inc., or HMC.
At the meeting Cohen said he was "burning" at what seemed to be misleading information about the hospital's cash on hand.
Faircloth initially said 80 days, but that estimate included $10 million in capital funds that are now frozen under a complex financing arrangement used for Hutcheson's bond issue years ago. Even if the funds were liquid, they can be only used for capital projects, not operations. Excluding those funds, Faircloth estimated 12 or 15 days cash on hand.
Also including the frozen $10 million, the hospital has a 55 percent cash-to-debt ratio, Faircloth said. Hutcheson must have a 60 percent cash-to-debt ratio to maintain its bond covenants, which is a requirement of its lease agreement with the counties.
Trustees discussed the status of the HMC lease agreement in a closed session, after a close vote on whether to keep the meeting open to media.
Stewart declined on Thursday to comment on his compensation.
But Hutcheson Medical Center board chairwoman Martha Attaway said Stewart's bonus in fiscal year 2009 was actually based on the profit he helped bring about in fiscal year 2008, after many years of losses.
"Last year Mr. Stewart recommended that no increase be given to him since pay increases could not be given to other employees," she said in an e-mail.
Stewart's base compensation was $331,752 that year, compared to the $550,000 base salary for Jim Brexler, president and CEO of Erlanger Health System in Chattanooga.
Brexler's bonus pay in fiscal year 2009, which for Erlanger ended June 30, 2009, was $198,000.

A Grand Jury should investigate Hutcheson thoroughly--I've said this several times before--At the very least, management at Hutcheson is guilty of gross mismanagement and malfeasance--And it could be worse than that
Pmac & Marathon5454...not sure if you two pea-brains realize this but the BOD consists of only volunteers who out of good grace and kindness spend their time to keep a not-for-profit hospital operational for the local county residents that built and funded the place. THE BOD RECEIVES NO COMPENSATION - ZERO, NOTHING, ZIP...........hence no potential conflict of interest linked to monetary gain or enrichment.
SO I guess you would rather see private ownership with a private BOD? Would that better the transparency in your eyes (when disclosure requirements are much less than what they are at the current time? Would private ownership & its private BOD (& stipends for members)help the financial situation in your eyes?
I urge you and Marathon5454 to help yourself to a basic legal reference explaining the difference between "private" and "not for profit" organizational classifications. Your statement clearly shows you have zero understanding of the important differences between the two.
I worked for HMC for over 7 years in the 1980s and was vested with retirement benefits. I am now retired and on Social Security Disability benefits and cannot seem to make phone contact with anyone with HMC who admits to knowing anything about my pension benefits. I would probably get $15.00 a month after 7 years...but it's easier for them to play "I Dunno" when asked about how I can file for it so they can continue to pay outrageous sums to their admin folks who are letting them drive the hospital out of business. I live in New Hampshire and can't drive over there to ask in person. Colonel Gleason, Catherine Morrison, Doc Stevens and the other members of the founding board of Directors/Trustees for Tri-County Hospital and John L Hutcheson, are probably spinning in their graves over this chicanery. Thanks, HMC. I won't starve without what you owe me but it would have helped.
If you look at from a systemic standpoint - cuts in federal medicaid and medicare spending (a national trend), the ever increasing cost of private health insurance, employers having few options but to push more costs onto employees thus socializing the costs, growing ranks of the unisured thus growing rates of indigent care, you would have the circumspect to understand the microcosm Hutchenson is to that of the broader US health care problems....
You might also consider companies like HCA (Bain & Co owned - private equity and hedge fund), KKR (private equity and hedge fund) are making record profits from the buying out of these hospital for a fraction of what they are worth, then squeezing everything out of it they can.....
Pray, tell......think deeply for a moment...who would love to see the merger with Erlanger not go through and for what private interest is such a deal being targeted and torpedoed.....why not think about the broader picture for a moment,hmmmm?
I agree, the deal with Erlanger is the best plan if you have the care of patients at heart and not the private interests of very few parties at the forefront.
I live in the NE US, im from Chattanooga and I wrote my graduate thesis on the systematic privatization of US health care and the consequences on patient care and access to preventative medicine - a thirty year timeline.
This is part of a larger trend - privatization of public infrastructure for private investors and profit. I also encourage those of you interested to think about what will happen to Catoosa and Dade county residents in the event of a private take over.....the obvious end game for those trying to torpedo the Erlanger/HMC merger when Vanguard or HCA or Tenant Health services takes over and must earn a rate of return for their investors.
Georgia has one of the highest rates of uninsured citizens in the country - close to 30% in FY 2007-2008. Catoosa and Dade a far from the "richest counties in the state. Think long and hard about what happens to these people should the worst case scenario unfold. In lack of health insurance, GA ranks 44 out of 50 states...but im sure you all knew that right?
@mrcommonsense: What is this gibberish you speak? I don't know who you are trying to impress with your "graduate thesis". I couldn't care less about some paper you wrote. It is obvious that you don't have a clue about what is going on at Hutcheson. It is a lack of management ability that starts with the CEO. Why don't you ask the CEO why numerous doctors have left the facility and are admitting their patients to other hospitals in the area? Incompetent CEO+no doctors+no patients=no revenue. Simple as that.
Lots of hate here. :)
I believe there are valid points to be had in the explanation of the economy in reference to the indigent care, health insurance, demographics and ability to repay medical bills, by mrcommonsense.
Likewise, rarnold281, I agree that there should have been some action taken by the CEO and leadership back in 2007 to mitigate the substantial losses being reported today.
But like any corporation in America, the CEO is first responsible for the actions of 'his' corporation. It is a known fact that the CEO did run off a bunch of quality doctors, those same doctors practicing at other hospitals in the Chattanooga area.
Those same doctors provided a chunk of the "willing and able to pay" patients of HMC. So now, take mrcommonsense's analyses of the market. Take out the patients that are able to pay, lost by the doctors that left when the CEO ran them off. What do you have now?
You have exactally whats on the official financial reports. Loss of income.

Verizon sacks Obama snoopers
Verizon Wireless has sacked the workers who had a cheeky look at president-elect Barack Obama's mobile phone records. The company originally suspended all the staff it suspected of having access to the records. The workers had access to call logs, times and phone numbers dialled but could not read text messages or listen to …
Will! Get! Yahoo! Account!
"This is the second telecoms related setback for Obama in a week. It emerged last week that the prez in waiting may have to give up his beloved BlackBerry, due to US rules on opening up the White House correspondence to the public."
He will now change to using a yahoo e-mail account where the security question will be the name of the puppy he is bringing to the White House. Unfortunatly since the puppy will be named afterwards the name will be dictated by the security question and not the other way around. The rather uncommon dog name 4BPDggXq will then no doubt increase it's popularity.
That aside, if you work in telecom and like your job don't snoop into the account to the next president of the USA. If the guys doesn't remember to check the log entries, I am sure the guys from the treasury department will remind them. I bet you in addition to getting fired will get a folder with your name on it within every tripple letter organization in the tripple letter country.
So to the ex-Verizon employees, beware of black choppers.
Why dump the Blackberry?
As long as the email's on a server, and the BB syncs with the server, what's the issue? Surely the server copy of the email (including responses) can be kept?
Now security, that's a different story. (although I find it difficult to imagine that someone as apparently tech-savvy as Obama would do something as "Palinesque" as using an easily-guessed pw. It's encryption I'd be more worried about.

Chunky homemade blue cheese dressing steals the show in this delicious combination of heirloom lettuces, caramelized pears and toasted pecans.
If you prefer, romaine makes a good substitute for heirloom lettuce because it stands up well to the bold dressing.
|2 large
|pears (slightly shy of ripe)
|juice of 1 fresh lemon
|3 tablespoons
|1/4 teaspoon
|ground star anise
|2 tablespoons
|unsalted butter
|7 ounces
|Earthbound Farm Petites Lettuce Leaves
|4 ounces
|crumbled blue cheese (preferably Roquefort)
|2/3 cup
|1 tablespoon
|fresh lemon juice
|1 1/2 teaspoons
|freshly ground pepper
|3/4 teaspoon
|1/4 teaspoon
|1 small
|clove garlic (finely minced)
|1/3 cup
|3 dashes
|Tabasco Sauce (to taste)
Peel the pears and rub them with lemon juice. Cut the pears in half through the stem end and remove the cores with a small spoon. Rub with more lemon juice. Cut each pear half into 4 wedges, so that you have a total of 16 wedges.
Combine the sugar and star anise in a small bowl and stir to blend.
Melt the butter in a skillet that is large enough to hold the pears in a single layer without crowding (alternately, use 2 pans or cook them in batches) over medium heat. Arrange the pears in the skillet and raise the heat to medium-high. Sprinkle the pears with half of the sugar and cook until the bottoms begin to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the pears, sprinkle with the remaining sugar, and cook until the second side is caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the wedges to a plate and let them cool.
To make the dressing, place the blue cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, pepper, salt, sugar and garlic in a small bowl and stir to blend. Whisk in the buttermilk. Add Tabasco to taste. The dressing can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 weeks.
Assemble the salad by placing the lettuce leaves, either whole or broken into pieces, in a large bowl. Add some of the dressing and toss to coat the leaves, adding more as desired.
Divide the greens among 4 plates. Arrange 4 pear wedges on top of each mound of greens and sprinkle with the pecans. Lightly drizzle some of the dressing over the pears and serve immediately.

Opinion: The "Open Meeting" laws are not complicated
"BOS tackles the function and life span of a 'committee'" (Feb. 10 Mountain Democrat) — there is nothing to "tackle." Government Code Section 54950-54963 regarding open meeting starts,
"In enacting this chapter, the legislature finds and declares that the public commissions, boards and councils and the other public agencies in the state exist to aid in the conduct of the people's business. It is the intent of the law that their actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly."
In addition:
"The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created."
Understanding that "it is the people's business" and it must be conducted openly, the next step should be the District Attorney and/or County Counsel to inform the Board of Supervisors in a public form as to the many aspects of Government Code starting with Section 54950-54963 regarding open meeting laws. Government Code is the law that must be followed.
The next question is how many more "groups" are meeting and are unaware of the "Open Meeting" laws. It is time for the elected "public servants" to understand their job and represent "the people" according to Government Code.

A camper over an embankment on the Interstate, two people trapped inside the vehicle and a possible propane leak. It all added up to a messy accident on Interstate 64 Friday afternoon.
Imagine driving in traffic bumper to bumper without moving an inch for hours. It was scene on Interstate 64 caused by an accident west bound of the interstate that literally stopped traffic for hours.
"The pick-up truck went over the embankment about 150-200 feet down," said Doug Smythers, Seminole Trail Volunteer Fire Department. "Two occupants inside. They both had non-life threatening injuries."
It was a scary scene for rescue units as they discovered a leaking propane tank on the overturned camper.
"The propane was leaking from the trailer, they controlled that, and then that's when they opened the interstate back up," explained Smythers.
Officers said the vehicle was traveling west bound on I-64. That's when the camper connected to the back of the truck began fish-tailing, hitting the guardrail. The vehicle then separated from the camper and was tossed downing the embankment.
"The lady was a passenger; she was fairly calm. The driver was somewhat disoriented, but also calm," explained rescue worker Steve Hartman.
The portable tools known as the Jaws of Life was used to remover the driver and the passenger from the smashed truck.
Police are still unsure what caused the accident, but they say the driver and the passenger are both very lucky. Both the driver and the passenger were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
"They both had minor injuries, a few broken bones. I believe the woman had a broken wrist," added Hartman.
VDOT is responsible for the clean-up of the accident which took hours.
No word at this time if any charges will be pressed against the driver.

Things have been a little quiet from Natalie Portman on the movie front recently, in fact, we have not seen the Oscar winning actress on the big screen since Thor, way back in 2011. However, 2013 is set to be the year that we see the return of Natalie Portman, the actress.
This year, Natalie Portman has three movies set to be released. Knights of Cups sees Natalie Portman starring alongside Christian Bale, Teresa Palmer and Cate Blanchett in the Terrence Malick movie. Terrence Malick is a director who likes to stick with what he knows, which is why Natalie stars in another of his movies.
The currently untitled project also stars Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett again, as well as Ryan Gosling, Michael Fassbender and Rooney Mara. The third movie we will see Natalie in this year is Thor: The Dark World, which is set to be released on October 30 in the UK and November 8 in the US.
While these movies are being released throughout 2013, Natalie Portman will also be keeping herself busy by filming the movie Jane Got a Gun, which will see her starring alongside Michael Fassbender and Joel Edgerton and will be released sometime in 2014.
It has been too long since we last saw Natalie Portman on the big screen and we cannot wait to have her back.

Styled by friend and hairdresser George Northwood - who is frequently asked to recreate "The Alexa" at his London salon - Chung rarely strays far from her signature casual waves and no-nonsense centre partings, occasionally offset by punchy red lipstick or her classic, feline eyeliner flicks. There have been experiments with candy-coloured highlights, choppy bobs and blunt fringes - as well as pretty up-dos for red-carpet events - but Chung's hair history demonstrates exactly why she's a go-to inspiration for girls who want wearable hairstyles they can recreate themselves.

A Set of Microphone Array Beamformers Implementing a Constant-Amplitude Panning Law
This paper describes a technique for designing a collection of beamformers, a "beamformer bank," that approximately produces a constant-amplitude panning law. Useful in multichannel recording scenarios, a point source will appear with energy above a specified sidelobe level in at most two adjacent beams, and the beam sum will approximate the source signal. A non-parametric design method is described in which a specified sidelobe level determines beam width as a function of arrival direction and frequency, leading directly to the number and placement of beams at every frequency. Simulation results using several microphone array configurations are reported to verify the performance of proposed technique.

New products from Tune
September 13, 2010 at 9:41 pm #92993Keymaster
This is an exciting time of the year for us as it's the time when most companies begin to announce and show their coming products. We'll feature new products from a whole host of companies over the coming weeks. We'll begin with one of our favorite companies Tune. Tune has now shown some new stuff and announced availability of some previously announced items. So let's look at what's new and what's changed in the line for the coming year.
Let's start with the Cappy. Announced several months ago it's release was delayed as they had to find a correction to allow for more seat angle adjustment. I'm told that we'll have production pieces within the next two weeks. You'll notice the head is different from the standard Tune heads and we think this is where part of the weight savings comes from. It will be available in 11 colors (silver, purple, froggy green, pink, red, orange, gold, blue, forest green, silver and black.) It will come in 3 diameters each with it's own offset. 30mm with 1mm offset, 34.9mm with 2mm offset and 38.2 with 5mm offset. Claimed weights start at 75 grams which is a significant savings over the commonly used Ritchey mast. Expected retail should be around $160.
Wassertrager Uni Water Bottle Cage
Tune has also replaced their most common bottle cage, the Wassertrager Uni. The new cage is currently available and is 20grams including the aluminum mounting bolts. I've had a chance to use this new cage and am really impressed with it. It holds bottles more securely than the previous and is much easier to remove and replace the bottles from. The finish is a dramatic improvement as well. Retail is unchanged at $60. Personally I don't like the little rubber friction generator at the bottom of the cage so I just toss it when I install them and save an extra gram or two. With it's function and aesthetic improvements, this one jumps right up to the top of my list of favorite bottle cages.
The Smartfoot Crank
The Smartfoot was one of the biggest draws at Eurobike for Tune. While not yet released this crank is already quite sought after. An integrated 30mm spindle and fit options that allow it to work with just about any bike is one of the reasons why. Fitting options are for BSA 68 or 73mm, Etype, BB30, BB30 press fit, BB30 73mm, BB30 85mm or BB30 pressfit 92mm. Weights start at 558 grams and the price starts at $725(We don't yet know if that includes rings or not.) It fits both road and mtb and can be setup with an SRM power meter. We expect to see the stock mountain version available sometime near the end of the year with the road version following just behind.
Stem Changes: New Four Bolt Design
Tune will also be changing the face of their stems. Moving from a 2 bolt face place to a 4 bolt version, all 6 bolts of course being titanium. It also appears that the Tune logo may re-appear on the side of the stem making them directional for either road or mtb. These will begin to replace the 2 bolt version at the beginning of 2011. They will continue to be available in all 11 Tune colors. Pricing and weight is expected to be unchanged as is the current 8 degree angle of them.
A Quick Look at Tune's Hub Lineup
Most of the Tune hubs also change for the coming year. Surprisingly the mountain Dezibel hub does not appear anywhere on the product list for 2011 not even as a complete wheelset. The road Mag90 version does however appear and is expected to become available before too much longer. The Mag90 will not be sold as a hub but only in the Schwarzbrenner Skyline wheelset. The wheelset will be 24mm carbon tubulars with 45/90 hubs and the new Tune Super Spoke. Weight is listed at 771grams with a price of around $3500. The other road hubs receive several changes. The 150/160 and 180 get new larger axles, 17mm instead of 15mm. This larger axle means larger bodies, drive rings and pawl bags. The pawls will change from titanium to ceramic which will further reduce the stress on the free hub body. The end result should be stiffer, lighter and about 10% less stress. The bearings will also be changing. The XoT bearing will disappear and be replaced by larger 6803 and 6903 bearings. Pricing is not expected to change on most models. For the front Mig70 hub the only change will be a larger 17mm axle and larger 6803 bearing. No increase in weight or price.
Carbon Seat Posts
Lastly some more info on the Tune carbon posts. It seems the offset version has no information about it available but more has come out about the straight post version. The Tune logo is molded into the post. The lengths will be 340 and 420mm. Diameters will be 27.2, 31.6 and 34.9. Weights will start at 146grams and pricing will be $240-$270. Dates for these are not yet available.September 15, 2010 at 10:55 pm #92994Participant
I don't know what version of the catalogue you have seen but the one that I've seen lists a wheelset that uses the Dezibel rear hub and the new Princess Skyline, the Tune Skyline HighFly that weighs just 983gr.
Here ypu can see the catalogue that I've seen: http://www.tune.de/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=30&Itemid=174&lang=deDecember 21, 2010 at 2:07 pm #92995Ernst
Hi, I am currently in the market for a new MTB wheel set with Prince/Princess hubs and of course dont want to end up with any 2010 left over hubs which are sold to me as 2011 technology. How do I recognize the 2011 hubs (apart from weight)? Any marks on the outside?December 21, 2010 at 6:29 pm #92996Keymaster
The changes to the Tune hubs are a running change and are not done as a model year change. When Tune runs out of existing hubs they'll begin to switch to new hubs. Externally you won't really be able to tell the difference. The only thing I can suggest is to buy it from a dealer you trust and rely on them to give you the correct information as to what's inside the hub. Though the only way the dealer will know is if they take the time to open it up and look as Tune is not marking the hubs any differently.I run the Facebook Page, Twitter Account and write code the rest of the day.

Advantages: Price, playability, craftmanship, live and recorded sound
Disadvantages: average acoutic sound, round back guitar
...The Ovation Country Artist classical guitar is what one would expect from and American made Ovation. It is equally at home on the stage or in the studio. The acoustic sound is unbalanced, as the wound strings over power the nylon/gut strings, but plug it in and this guitar shines.

When GM officials reminisce about better times, they can simply reflect back to Jan. 13.
That's the day the Chevrolet brand swept the North American Car of the Year and North American Truck/Utility of the Year awards at the Detroit auto show. In that happier time, Mary Barra's star was still untarnished as she waited to take her place two days later as the first female CEO for General Motors Co.
Then, it seems, the automaker drove off a cliff.
The sudden turn has given some local GM workers whiplash.
GM has issued at least 30 recalls affecting almost 14 million vehicles since the beginning of this year.
Problems have ranged from troublesome to lethal: A defective ignition switch has been linked to at least 13 deaths. Barra has been grilled by Congress about what company officials knew and when they knew it.
Mark Gevaart, president of United Auto Workers Local 2209, has been with GM through more than 30 years of ups and downs. But more recent recruits don't have that long-term perspective, he said.
A person who was hired in 2007 is going, What?' Gevaart said last week about the recent recalls. I just rolled my eyes and said, Geez, here we go again.'
Rich LeTourneau, Local 2209's shop chairman, agreed that some newer workers are reeling.
Oh yeah, they're real nervous, he said. You gotta remind them sometimes that things happen in this business.
After spending the past several years navigating through bankruptcy reorganization, public backlash after a government bailout and a global financial crisis that largely choked off vehicle demand, GM seemed to have turned a corner.
But the relentless series of recalls has shaken some of the workers at GM's Allen County truck assembly plant, which employs about 4,000 hourly and salaried workers on three shifts.
The recalls have also presented company officials with a significant public relations problem.
Experts say GM needs to communicate early and often about what the company is doing to address quality issues.
The first recipients of those briefings, they said, should be employees.
Talk the talk
David E. Johnson, who heads an Atlanta PR and branding agency, gives props to Barra for recording a video address to employees early on.
Johnson, CEO of Strategic Vision LLC, said workers are often ignored in a crisis. GM should learn from others' mistakes by creating a communications strategy geared toward employees, he said: Workers need to be assured they're a valued part of the family.
Mary Barra and senior management also need to show up at the various plants, almost like a town hall, and answer employees' questions, Johnson said.
If travel isn't possible, video conferencing sessions could work, he said. If employees don't feel like they're being kept in the loop, morale will suffer, he added.
Barry LaBov, a local branding expert, echoed that advice.
At each location, whether it's a factory or an office, there is a desperate need for communication, he said.
LaBov, president and founder of LaBov & Beyond, said the order of communications is important. Employees shouldn't be learning about what's happening inside the company from newspapers or TV news, he said.
Stephanie Jentgen, GM's local spokeswoman, said GM leaders have provided employees and customers with ongoing, extensive updates on the company's progress as it addresses the recalls.
If he were in charge of GM, LaBov said, he would list all the mistakes and then list management's response to each one. That would be followed by an apology and a promise that the company will emerge stronger than before.
Dealerships are also part of the larger family and should be included in GM communications, Johnson said. Dealers and their employees also need to hear that solutions have been found for the defects.
Moving on
Gevaart, the local union leader, said GM has begun issuing recalls for every imperfection in vehicles.
Which is not a bad way to go to rebuild credibility, he added.
Gevaart and LeTourneau both pointed out that the defective parts are coming to GM from suppliers.
We don't have a lot of control over the parts that come to us, LeTourneau said.
On the supplier topic, Jentgen deferred to a statement issued May 16.
We are working hard to improve our ability to identify and respond to safety issues, said Jeff Boyer, vice president of global vehicle safety and the individual assigned to integrate safety policies across the company.
Those efforts include the creation of the Global Product Integrity unit to innovate safety oversight. New requirements are being set for GM engineers. And assembly line employees are being encouraged to point out safety concerns.
Gevaart likes empowering front-line workers to speak up when parts don't look or fit quite right.
The voice of the floor can be a powerful tool to start discussions about the parts and the process, Gevaart said. The option of raising a hand and halting the assembly line has been there for a while, but apparently workers haven't been doing it often enough, he said.
Every person who touches a part that goes into a GM vehicle has a hand in determining its quality, he said.
LeTourneau, who has been with GM for 31 years, is confident things will turn around. The automaker's turn under the microscope will end, he said, with the next serious recall. That company is destined to take GM's place.
There's always somebody on the chopping block, he said.
Gevaart is also sure the company will survive. But, he said, union leaders don't necessarily reflect the typical worker view. That is, if there is a typical opinion in a factory with 4,000 individuals.
It's hard to say that things are good, bad or otherwise, Gevaart said. It depends on the pocket (of employees) you go to.
Jentgen, the spokeswoman, has maintained her deep faith in the company.
Here at Fort Wayne Assembly, our employees continue to build award-winning Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks for our customers, she said in a statement. We are dedicated to providing a safe, world-class truck to every customer.
If opinions vary inside the local factory, the same can be said about the general public's take on the automaker.
GM officials need to address the problem by overhauling their branding plan, Johnson said. The strategy laid out after the bankruptcy needs to be updated to address the recall fallout, he said.
Johnson routinely counsels clients to take responsibility when things go seriously wrong. That includes when TV networks air interviews with survivors of those who died in GM vehicles with defective parts.
Avoiding responsibility makes it look like a company doesn't care about anything but profits, Johnson said.
GM will survive this crisis, he said, but it will take a long time.
