Not to complain (LOL) but this board is very hard to read, and not just because of the new organization----the print is way too small for these old eyes!! And I don't even need glasses.

this is awful!! It seems to take about 1 min just to read each post. I don't have time for this. I don't think I will be staying around. I am going to try to find another freebie board, I'll post if I find a good one. See ya'll later.

brady, 31, risk management
how do you eat?
my job involves me being away from home for long periods of time. the food available during these periods is ok, but not of excellent quality. it is produced in a dining facility/mess meaning what's in the bain-marie is what you choose from. however, eating reasonably healthy can be achieved. the upside to this is there is no alcohol available in location that makes for compulsory abstinence.
at home i eat healthily most of the time. i eat lots of high-quality meat, fish & veggies.
i have recently acquired an amazing wife who has introduced me to a whole world of very large kitchen appliances. i had not heard of cold-pressed juicers & didn't realise there were food processors with 20 speeds & 400 attachments. the results are amazing though – delicious, healthy meals & baked goods packed with nutrients (& made with love).
what do you eat?
my philosophy is constantly evolving but in a nutshell i try to eat a healthy, high-quality diet most of the time. hopefully, this goes some way to balance out my vices listed below.
favourite foods / drinks / vices?
i've listed these together because, for me, they all go hand in hand.
my favourite food/drink/vice is sitting down with beer & wine, putting down a spread in front of me & nibbling away. this could include cheese, cured meats, wasabi peas, salt & vinegar chips (smiths, not the ones from the health food section) & buhja.
other favourites include homemade pizza, tapas & sushi.
last of all, forget what the experts say – shiraz can be paired with anything. even frozen yogurt & sour worms.
health goals?
my work requires me to maintain a high level of physical fitness & i'm finding, as i get older, the body is becoming less willing to co-operate with the things i ask it to do. for this reason, in addition to my traditional strength & cardio, i'm starting to incorporate a lot more functional training – including yoga – in an attempt to keep injuries at bay.
diet-wise, in the coming years i'd really like to eliminate processed foods – eating only things i can pick up & recognise exactly what it is & what's in it (sorry frozen yogurt & sour worms).

- Ernesto'sOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/18/2014Outstanding couipled with great tasting food at a reasonable price makes Ernesto's one of our favorite restaurants. If the blueberry bread pudding is available, pls. make sure you have room for this delicious desert!! The only drawback is the parking situation in and around the restaurant which can be difficult depending upon the time for dinner.Special Features:
- A lovely local restaurantMDEUKVIPDined on 6/14/2014Ernesto's is a nice neighborhood restaurant with great food and nice service - I'll definitely visit it again if I'm in the area.Special Features:
- ExcellentDebbieVIPDined on 6/14/2014As usual we had our favorite waiter Doug. Our guests love his humor keeps our dinner conversation going.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Highly recommendedSusanVIPDined on 6/13/2014We had an excellent meal at Ernesto's The food was delicious and the service was 10 stars out of 5!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Importance of Being EarnestoIkolDined on 4/8/2014We had a group of six people who usually don't dine together so this was a special occasion since I did the picking of the restaurant. The waiter, Doug, was so great. When we dine here with our children and grandchildren, he keeps the kids amused and that makes the parents happy! The prices are reasonable. The service is slow since they cook each dish individually but it's worth it.Special Features:
- Great foodDebbieVIPDined on 4/3/2014We celebrated a birthday there. The waiter was excellent and was very entertaining. Definitely will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Large selection of basic ItalianMarushkaDined on 3/15/2014Doug, our waiter, had provided excellent service, and one highlight was the introduction of the chef. There were 4 of us, and all loved their food except for my difficult to cut eggplant. The wine list is very good and the warm olive oil bread served was fantastic. We certainly will dine there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Great Italian RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 3/15/2014Great food, exceptional customer service, reasonable priced menu, easy parking.............what more could you ask for????Special Features:
- We love Ernesto's!SFGiantsGirlDined on 2/15/2014We've been going to this restaurant for twenty five years! We still love it! The calamari sauté is yummy and the bread given free is always hot and lightly spiced with herbs. The entrees are so good and we love bringing out of towners here. It's wonderful to have such a quality restaurant in our neighborhood.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I have eaten here before andOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 2/12/2014I have eaten here before and the food was decent. This time I don't know where the chef was but it was really bad tasting with way to much salt. I had eggplant parm. And the cheese on top was....I couldn't even tell you what kind it was. The food was hot but it didn't melt the cheese. Pasta was way under cooked to the point of crunchy and the sauce was bland. The 3 others that I was with were equally dissatisfied with their meal. I forget fried calimari.....greasy! We didn't even stay for desert.
- Very nice neighborhood restaurant.OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 1/19/2014Very nice neighborhood restaurant. Food was better than the last time I was here.Special Features:
- Great Old Neighborhood PlaceCookieDined on 1/18/2014Pretty old school style and lots of neighborhood regulars. Nice specials and service was to the point and no thrills or frills. Definitely going to try it again and hope it stays consistent.Special Features:
- Good not fantastic but goodRfamily9VIPDined on 1/12/2014I was a table fo one and they were not thrilled about that, the food was average and the price wS higher than average
- A special placeex94121erDined on 9/28/2013Ernesto's is always a special place for my husband and myself to dine. Doug who is the head waiter is always ready to enhance your dining experience. The best things to try are the specials, their mussels are fantastic, and all the chicken dishes are very well done. Jimmy the owner has a way of keeping a chicken breast juicy and tender not matter what dish you order. I highly recommend Ernesto's for dining the only draw back is the parking in the Richmond district is impossible, luckily we live a block and a half away and are able to just walk there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Staff was very accommodatingMaxxDined on 8/24/2013Staff was very accommodating especially when we booked for 6 people and we had 2 additional people show up.Special Features:
- Ernesto's is a small neighborhoodJaneVIPDined on 7/26/2013Ernesto's is a small neighborhood Italian restaurant on Clement Street in San Francisco and one of the very few not serving Asian food. It is located close to the Palace of the Legion of Honor, which is why we chose it for our dinner. We had been to see the new Impressionists on Water show and were looking for a modestly priced place to eat. The waiter was very friendly and recommended an excellent bottle of wine to accompany our meal. We both ordered the veal saltimbocca, which was tasty but nothing out of the ordinary. It came with very bland, unseasoned broccoli, pasta (not house-made) and garlic bread that had been burned around the edges and on the underside. The tiramisu was the best part of the meal; it was delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ernesto's on ClementLLSFVIPDined on 7/14/2013This place has warmed up since they moved to this corner spot some 12 + years ago. They finally hung some art on the walls. The wait was super long and the waiters kept bumping into me; I sat opposite the window, so if you're into dining experience; avoid getting a table there. Waiters kept saying dinner was coming but it took almost an hour to get our meal. Apparently there was a big group, but buy us a bottle of wine and tell us there's going to be a long wait, don't lie and say our meal was coming. No, we paid for the wine. We lost enthusiasm; we were falling asleep. Food was ok. I'll probably wait another 12 years until I try this place again. Or I'll wait to bring 36 of my closest friends for some faster service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nothing to write home aboutsanfranfemVIPDined on 5/25/2013I'm not sure why people have rated this place so highly besides the amusing wait staff. It wasn't horrible by any stretch of the imagination, but the food was definitely mediocre at best for all 3 of our main dishes. The appetizer did not impress either.
- We are so luckyMemlouiseVIPDined on 5/12/2013We are so lucky to have a great neighborhood Italian place. I chose this for Mother's Day ... and it was perfect!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic food, family friendlyiambethgreenDined on 5/11/2013I love Ernesto's food and their friendly and well informed servers. Super good spot for family dinners, nice wine list and good prices for the delicious food they serve.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We were met at the door byOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/19/2013We were met at the door by the only waiter/maitre'd. Very friendly. The place is lacking in ambiance but is clean and comfortable. Remined me of the restaurants in East Boston. Food was good and plenty of it.Special Features:
- We went for a casual italianSFFoodLoverVIPDined on 3/9/2013We went for a casual italian dinner. Our waiter was nice and funny. The food was good, this is more of a neighborhood place, not a destination restaurant. The capellini with tomato sauce was pretty oily. Wines by the glass were fine, but nothing special. Overall, a good decent neighborhood place.Special Features:
- Yakking on Phone at Dinner uncoolOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/24/2012In general we had a very nice time at this restaurant. The food waas great and the service good. We were disturbed, however, by our neighboring diner who talked on his cell phone in Chinese for 15 minutes while waiting for his food to be served. We thought we were daved when the food came, but he started eating while he was talking! Soon, that proved fruitless and he gave up the conversation (whew!. We had a few laughs with the waiter about it, but I would have preferred if the resaurant had a policy of not using the cell phone (for phone calls) at the table.Special Features:
- we had a wonderful SaturdaySFFoodieDined on 7/28/2012we had a wonderful Saturday evening at Ernesto's. The waiter was friendly and attentive and the food was wonderful. The atmosphere is casual and friendly and you feel at home there. We have never been disappointed with any meal at Ernesto's and we have been there many times because we live in the outer Richmond. I can recommend Ernesto's to anyone whether you want a quiet dinner for two or a larger party for a special occasion.Special Features:

- Excellent for FamiliesOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 5/13/2012We were a family group of seven, three generations, celebrating Mothers Day and a teenage birthday. Every person in this diverse group found menu selections to their taste, the food to their liking, and the server especially attentive. The atmosphere at Ernesto's was reminiscent for me of one of the better Italian restaurants in South Philadelphia. I thoroughly enjoyed our meal there and definitely will return.Special Features:
- Arrived at 6:30, didn't getOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/6/2012Arrived at 6:30, didn't get our food till a little after 8:00pm. They were fulfilling to-go orders before our table of 14 were served. Not the waiters fault, but there's only one cook and they should've compensated us something especially since we had 6 kids with us. Food was extremely salty and menu is pedestrian. Wanted to support my local restaurants, but this place is horrible. Try Mescolanza a few blocks down.
- Best pork chop I ever had!larryDined on 4/1/2012Best pork chop I ever had! Servers were Great! Corkage waved if you buy a bottle of their wine.Special Features:

- a friend introduced me toOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 1/24/2012a friend introduced me to ernesto's just before xmas and i have been there twice since, bringing others to enjoy the experience. the food is wonderful and even though the waiter was literally running around to attend to all the customers, he kept his composure and was very pleasant and accommodating. they need to get him some help!! i know i will continue to go back even though parking is at a premium.Special Features:
- Food was excellent. ThereOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 1/14/2012Food was excellent. There were 7 if us and everything we ordered was very satisfying. Portions are large and we all had food to take home and enjoy for another meal. It was very busy and thank goodness we made a reservation. Only disappointment was I had ordered a canneloni 'To Go' and when the bill came, the waiter told me he had forgotten to place the order and it would take 20 min, but it was so busy he didn't really want to do it, so the person who was expecting their dinner from Ernesto's wasn't too happy.Special Features:
- Great food, but there wasEater1VIPDined on 12/29/2011Great food, but there was only one food server in the entire restaurant. We waited a long time just to get our menus, not to mention ordering and getting our food. For a restaurant that was not that full, the food server sure did a lot of running around and making excuses. For some reason he couldn't find my OpenTable reservation and after a few seconds of looking on a list behind the counter, he just shrugged and waved at two tables that we could choose to be seated. I've lived nearby and dined at this restaurant for many years, though not often, but this was the first time I felt like it was lacking in so many ways. It pains me to write that, especially because the food is really good.
- Thinking I had made reservationsOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/6/2011Thinking I had made reservations another more upscale Italian restaurant on Clement after my initial disappointment I was happy to find Ernesto's a pleasant old school Italian neighborhood restaurant. Utilitarain but clean atmosphere,very friendly,attentive service and good home-style food neither fussy nor pretentious. The hot garlic bread a definite plus.Special Features:
- The seating & service is extremelyvegasbabyvegasDined on 7/30/2011The seating & service is extremely disorganized, but the food was great.Special Features:
- First TimersTonyDined on 5/28/2011Heard about Ernesto's from a radio host. "One of his 4 favorite restaurants in SF". Had to try it. We were very pleased with the service and food as well as the cost. We felt that it was reasonable. Wine list is moderately priced. Salads were cold and crisps and the veal was thin and tender. Outstanding find for our first time and we will make the 40 mile trip again just for the food and service. CIAO.Special Features:
- Service was friendly at thisJollyVIPDined on 5/27/2011Service was friendly at this neighborhood restaurant. The baked clams and fettuccine with prawns and artichokes were goo. Veal and linguine with bolognese were just okay.Special Features:
- We moved back to RichmondMemlouiseVIPDined on 5/18/2011We moved back to Richmond a year ago and find ourselves frequenting Ernesto's as a new favorite neighborhood place. The service is terrific; the food prepared well and in good portions; and the neighbors always willing to chat and say hello. It's just delightful and we've already celebrated one occasion there.Special Features:
- Ernesto's is one of my favoriteOpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 3/25/2011Ernesto's is one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. Food and service were great as always. It was good to see a full house on Friday night.Special Features:

Of course: Susan Rice to replace Tom Donilon as national security adviser
**Written by Doug Powers
The lesson: Stick to publicizing the issued talking points without deviation and with utter disregard for the facts, get a promotion:
Susan Rice, the U.N. ambassador caught up in political controversy over the Benghazi terrorist attack, will replace Tom Donilon as President Barack Obama's national security adviser, a senior administration official said Wednesday.
Donilon had been widely expected to step down in Obama's second term, and the official said he was resigning.
Obama will announce the change Wednesday afternoon at the White House, according to administration officials.
An example of why Rice is qualified to spot and advise the president about legitimate security threats? Here you go:
Five days after the [Benghazi] assault on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorists attacks, Rice appeared on U.S. Sunday news shows to say it was a spontaneous development during a protest, rather than a terrorist strike.
If being that far off base isn't a qualification I don't know what is.
Ed Morrissey at Hot Air examines Rice's curious promotion:
Even if Rice had no input into the process of generating the false and damaging talking points for her full Ginsburg on September 16th, her only defense is that someone handed her a sheet and told her to tell that story without having checked it out for herself. Does a national-security adviser normally just act as someone else's mouthpiece? The very nature of that position requires an independent mind to test and, when necessary, oppose the conclusions coming from the intelligence community, and to dig into the intel herself to provide critical advice to the President.
By parroting the bogus talking points days after the attack, Rice demonstrated that she will without question follow orders. Any actual qualifications she may or may not have to be national security adviser run a distant second to her apparent unwavering loyalty. Additionally, Rice's promotion is a great big "in your face" to Republicans trying to get to the bottom of Benghazi. It's a win-win promotion for the Obama administration, though I can't see how America comes out ahead because of this.
Update: Did Obama offer up the worst buddy cop movie idea ever?

Spencer Hawes had 20 points, 9 rebounds, an assist, 3 steals and 5 blocks. He is averaging 13/6 over the past 2 weeks. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but his ownership is creeping up to the 50% mark.Please, blog, may I have some more?

People had grown increasingly frustrated with Robin Lopez. With Anthony Davis back, he saw a mere 15 minutes the day before, and in the past week, he was only averaging 7.5 PPG and 3.3 RPG. Well, Davis finished with 16/5/0 and a block while Lopez earned 22 points, 9 rebounds, an assist and 2 blocks.Please, blog, may I have some more?
With Kyle Lowry and Andrea Bargnani out of the line-up due to injury concerns, Jose Calderon started for the Raptors and finished with a triple double (18 points, 10 rebounds, 14 assists), plus a block and a steal. Eventually, Lowry and Bargnani will come back and there will likely be no place left for Calderon besides the bench, but for me, Jose will always have some value.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Pau Gasol and the Lakers have had a train wreck of a season so far. Pau is seeing nearly all his numbers being below career average (12.6/8.9/3.5/0.5/1.2 with 42% FG and 76% FT) and having "knee tendinitis" to boot. As such, I had to move him down in the tiers because you can't be a Victoria's Secret model with those type of numbers.Please, blog, may I have some more?
In Kyrie Irving's first game back from injury, he helped the Cavs beat the Lakers. Surprised? You shouldn't be, because the Lakers stink right now. Now a confession… the headline was lying. Now are you surprised? Irving punished the Lakers going 28/6/11/1 with four 3PM and shooting 11-21 from the field.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Kris Humphries (3/4/0 with 2 blocks) fouled Kevin Garnett (16/10/1) somewhat hard (his flopping made it look worse than it was). Rajon Rondo (6/1/3 with 2 steals) took exception to the contact, and since NBA players are mature, emotionally well-adjusted individuals, a brawl ensued, resulting in the ejection of Humpy and Rondo.Please, blog, may I have some more?
The Phoenix Suns have arguably the least exciting line up in the NBA on paper, but that's not to say these nobodies, err, "role players" aren't without some fantasy value. We're talking door buster deals, ladies and gents! Major fantasy bargains!Please, blog, may I have some more?

Starting next week, I'll split this into a morning and afternoon post (morning for recap and afternoon for tiers) to better explain the movement taking place.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Waaarriors! Can you dig it!? Harrison Barnes was diggin' something last night. He's struggled in the early going of his NBA career (averaging under 10 points through his first nine games), but with 18 points and 9 rebounds in 35 minutes last night its looking like he might be starting to put it all together.Please, blog, may I have some more?
As I mentioned last week, every Wednesday I will release tiers for G/F/C in rotating fashion. This early in the season, there won't be too many changes unless dudes like Danny Granger or Brandon Rush go out for a lengthy amount of time.Please, blog, may I have some more?

A resurgence in exports and the declining value of the U.S. dollar helped lift Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corp.'s half-year profits 8 percent over a year earlier at HK$1.197 billion (US$153 million).
That compared with HK$1.109 billion for the six months to June 30, 1985, which was a 9 percent gain on the corresponding period of 1984. The results are after tax and the usual unspecified transfers to inner reserves, funds that banks are allowed to maintain in Hong Kong but not required to disclose.An interim dividend of HK13 cents will be paid, 4 percent above last year's 12.5 cents.
As the largest bank in the colony - and one of its two note-issuing institutions - it gains handsomely from any general improvement in economic climate.
Exports have bounced back from last year's depressed levels, aided by the lower dollar. The Hong Kong currency is linked to its U.S. counterpart. The local stock market has been probing stratospheric heights and the property sector is also strong.
However, overall loan demand was described by the bank as sluggish despite good consumer finance needs. International operations suffered from the fall in commodity and oil prices.
The bank, which also owns 51 percent of Marine Midland Banks Inc., termed U.S. growth disappointing and criticized protectionist moves that will hit many Asian countries in which it is a major player. The group traditionally opens the reporting season and provides a general guide to what the rest of Hong Kong business will show.

Performing Singer/Songwriter
Justin McRoberts has always been known for the quality and impact of his live shows. A thoughtful and talented songwriter, his performances are marked by insightful and often whimsical stories and reflections.
Teacher, Speaker and Storyteller
As a representative of Compassion International and one of the founding pastors at Shelter Covenant Church, Justin has grown into an impassioned, wise and effective teacher and communicator.
Below are some clips of talks Justin has recently done. He also thinks aloud at his Blog.
Compassion International
Justin is often asked to communicate God's heart for the poor and our privilege as His people to generously respond. He provides a tangible way for people to respond to the message should they choose to sponsor a child through Compassion International. If you are interested in Justin sharing this message, Compassion can help support his visit. Please contact us for more info.
Worship and Justice
Does our worship of God made a difference in the world around us; from our neighborhoods to the ends of the earth? If not, is it true worship? Mark Labberton writes that AIDS relief is a "worship issue." Justin agrees, writing "I think it is vital that we bridge the gap between Worship and Justice as aspects of the Christian life; they are not fully themselves without one another."
This talk or seminar examines the Biblical link between worship and justice while providing practical steps for implementing their practice in daily life.
Art and Justice
The call to a life of active compassion and justice has often found its strongest and most effective advocate in the arts. What makes art so clear and effective a vehicle for the communication of God's heart? Justin examines the link between art and justice both historically and philosophically. The talk can be directed specifically to artists, in which case the seminar also discusses being an artist who communicates compassion and justice without producing propaganda.
The Value of Art
The Market attributes value to that which produces. In other words; a thing has worth insofar as it can turn a profit. Art works contrary to this utilitarian principle, proposing that the worth of a piece is not tied solely to it's market value, but much more closely tied to the relationship that piece has to its creator.
This is reflective of the Divine value attributed to humanity by God as our Creator; Our worth is not determined by our Market value or productivity. Art communicates that principle by its very nature.
Ethics of an Independent Artist
The collision of art, faith and business can be very messy. But being faithful in the practice of songwriting and music business makes doing both worth far more than "success."
What makes a good song good? What makes a bad song bad? Beyond the questions "Do I write lyrics or music first," are questions about about why we write songs at all. Justin
The sabbath discipline is not just a token spiritual practice but a the centerpiece to the good life. In sabbath we face ourselves without our success, let go of our failures and learn to hear the voice of God saying, "This is my son, this is my daughter.. with whom I am well pleased.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - Kentucky Derby fever is hitting Old City in Knoxville.
Tonight was the launch of Downtown Derby Week, and many got together for some good times at the Wagon Wheel.
This is one of several spots around Knoxville taking part in the celebration.
But it's also a time to raise awareness and money for the Second Harvest's backpack program, which gives kids food to go home with on the weekends.
"We have parties, prizes all over downtown Knoxville. You'll see posters all over the storefronts and retailers and restaurants, and it's all about having a good time. But at the end of the day it's about helping to end hunger," said Jimmy Buckner with the Scarecrow Foundation.
People also picked horses' names out of the hat, and the winner gets a prize.
WVLT is participating, and we are rooting for "Overanalyze," which has an 18:1 shot to win.

State of the U.S. economy better, not greatBy CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
and PAUL WISEMAN
The Associated Press | February 13,2013AP FILE PHOTO
In this Jan. 24, 2012 file photo, President Barack Obama delivers his State of the Union address on Capitol Hill in Washington.WASHINGTON The U.S. economy, the expected focus of Tuesday nights State of the Union speech, is much healthier than it was four years ago. Yet growth remains slow and unemployment high.
In early 2009, the U.S. economy was in the midst of a full-blown panic sparked by the collapse of a housing bubble.
Companies were slashing jobs. The unemployment rate was surging. Auto sales in January 2009 had reached a 26-year low.
You dont need to hear another list of statistics to know that our economy is in crisis, President Barack Obama said in his first State of the Union-style address in February 2009.
The numbers were frightening.
Employers cut 794,000 jobs in January 2009 and 4.5 million from November 2008 through April 2009.
Home prices plunged 19 percent in the 12 months that ended in January 2009. Eventually, they fell by a third overall before bottoming in late 2011.
Perhaps the clearest barometer of the pain was soaring unemployment.
The unemployment rate was 7.8 percent in January 2009, just below the current 7.9 percent. But only two months later, in March 2009, it was nearly a full point higher 8.7 percent. By October, it had peaked at 10 percent.
The recovery has been agonizingly slow. Consumers have been wary about spending after piling up debt in the mid-2000s. Local governments, squeezed by tight budgets, have cut 560,000 jobs in four years.
And until recently, an anemic housing market discouraged the home construction that in past economic recoveries had powered growth.
Now, companies are hiring modestly but steadily. Employers added an average of 181,000 jobs a month in 2012 and 175,000 in 2011. Still, unemployment remains far higher than the 5 percent to 6 percent that economists regard as normal.
But home prices are finally rebounding as sales and housing starts have recovered. And Americans are buying cars again.
During the last four years, the economy has stabilized, says economist Sung Won Sohn of California State University Channel Islands.
What has happened to the economy since 2009 likely would have happened whoever occupied the White House, Sohn says.
We tend to give a lot of credit or blame (for the economy) to the incumbent president, he says. The fact of the matter is, the U.S. economy is like an aircraft carrier. You can turn it around but not on a dime.MORE IN National / World BusinessDr. Timothy Houchin became the medical director for Rutland Mental Health Services on Oct. 31.

What is MSF doing?
MSF is responding to the Ebola outbreak in Mali Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. In parallel MSF is also responding to an outbreak in DRC.
- Ebola crisis update: 7th November
- MSF's Ebola response in West Africa
- MSF's Ebola response in DRC
Since the Ebola outbreak in West Africa was officially declared on 22 March in Guinea, it has claimed 4,919 lives in the region.
MSF's West Africa Ebola response started in March 2014 and counts activities in Guinea, Liberia, Mali and Sierra Leone. MSF currently employs 263 international and around 3,077 locally hired staff in the region. The organisation operates six Ebola case management centres (CMCs), providing approximately 600 beds in isolation, and two transit centres. Since the beginning of the outbreak, MSF has sent more than 700 international staff to the region and admitted more than 5,600 patients, among whom around 3,500 were confirmed as having Ebola. More than 1,400 patients have survived.
More than 1,107 tonnes of supplies have been shipped to the affected countries since March.
The provisional 2014 budget for MSF's Ebola response in West Africa is €51 million. MSF will continue its operational response in 2015, and is currently estimating operational budgets beyond 2014. So far, MSF has approved institutional funding for a value of €20M and have raised about €28M in private funds.
More details in the latest Crisis Update
What is Ebola?
Ebola is a virus that can kill up to 90 percent of the people who catch it, causing terror among infected communities. Ebola can be caught from both humans and animals. It is not an air-borne disease. Human to human transmission occurs through close contact with bodily fluids of an Ebola-infected person. Patients need to be treated in isolation by staff wearing protective clothing. Supportive care can help the patient survive longer, and the extra time may just be what the patient's own immune system needs to fight the virus.
