Just read that Mickey's Toontown Fair will be closing at the end of February 11, 2011 to begin the next phase of the Fantasyland expansion project.
I'm gonna miss those houses. Wonder if I can get them moved to my yard. :yes:
I saw the same thing on WDW News Today. I have a soft spot for that area, times gone by when my children were young. Looking forward to the new area being completed. Toon was fine but the rest of Fantasyland was getting old and seedy-ish. It needed new life Disney gave toTomorrowland.
Noted that the powers to be are giving Tink the heave hoe and she will be landing in DHS. Further they are separating Tink from her posse and sending the balance of the girls to Epcot but the Fairies will be in time out until sometime in spring. :lol: Maybe playing with Duffy? HaHa that would be fitting.
The balance of the Toon friends will be allowed to stay popping up all around the MK until their home is ready on Main Street.
i dont know how i feel about the fab five... especially Mickey and Minnie having homes on Main Street... i would imagine their "official" homes wont be relocated... more like they will all end up in Exposition Hall or something like that... that will make Main Street a giant bottleneck i fear...
ok just read the post on WDW news today.... they are definitely going into the Exposition Hall... im a bit nervous about the crowds over there...
Didn't realize it was still open until I went on Wednesday. Nice to see everything still up, if only for one last time.
it's going to be sad to see Toontown Fair go, when I was younger I always looked forward to going back there (and if you went right at 10am when it opened, it was empty)...definitely an area that will be missed
and yes, the front of the park is going to become extremely crowded especially with parades, Tony's Town Square, and just the fact that it's the front of the park...since Mickey and Minnie will be at the front of the park, many people will decide to go there right when the park opens, and the lines will get insanely long and that whole Town Square area will just be packed
I never thought of the bottle neck. Sometimes you just wonder. And then wonder again about the "new Disney".
They just finished an extensive rehab of Exposition Hall to accommodate Mickey and Minnie - don't think any sort of bottleneck is going to be a problem
Finished? Must have been real recent. I was just there on Wednesday and Exposition Hall was closed off toward the back. The are also redoing the outside of the building. I took a photo of the painted screen front they are using for now.
Was unaware of the Exposition Hall rehab; that probably should ease things up a bit. Now I would just imagine that the lines right when the park opens and during mid-day crowds for pictures would just be extremely long; since it's in the front of the park.
I was there for the D23 Sip & Stroll and had my "one last chance" to see Toontown. I must say, I'm not sad to see it go. It's a fairly poorly laid out area and just seems to hold people in versus let people see the "home of the toons".
I have a friend that works for the Archives and he went in early one day and decided what they were going to keep before it was all destroyed. I don't know what they decided on saving.

Svalbard #1 2011
Here's the first trip report (22/7-1/8 2011) of the two photo expeditions to Svalbard this summer.
Day 1 – 22.07.2011 16:00 it was time to board our ship, the M/S Origo for our first photo expedition to Svalbard this summer. For the first time I had only 12 participants on this ship, instead of 24 participants as in earlier trips. Anyone who wanted it got a single cabin with plenty of space. This expedition was truly international with 6 participants from Norway, 2 from France, 2 from Switzerland, one from the USA and one from Japan.
We headed straight for the northwestern corner of Spitsbergen, so this day was mostly a transport leg. Before we boarded, a few of us got to photograph some Arctic foxes near Longyearbyen.
Day 2 – 23.07.2011 We arrive at Lågøya at approx. 20:45 in the evening. It was not the best of light conditions that evening, but we had some great opportunities with the rare Sabine's gull and also with some walruses. This time we photographed the Sabine's gull from only a few meters away – Great! We also saw our 3 first polar bears on this expedition, but they were far away.
Day 3 – 24.07.2011 In the morning we had some rough seas, we entered one of the best Polar bear areas of Svalbard. Just before 11:00, we spotted our first polar bear of the day near Duvefjorden. Unfortunately the bear was not very interested in us. The same thing happened with a big male we saw 3.5 hours later. We saw 4 more polar bears, but didn't have any close encounters. The good thing was that we had already seen 9 polar bears so far!
Day 4 – 25.07.2011 We had anchored near Phippsøya (Sjuøyane) at 80.6 degrees North, but in the morning we had to sail south due to drifting ice. We decided to go for plan B – Hinlopen.
Hinlopen has never disappointed me. We headed to the large bird cliff of «Alkefjellet» with hundreds of thousands of Brunnick's Guillemots in the air and in the water. The sound from all of these birds was incredible!
Day 5 – 26.07.2011 We arrived at the southern parts of Hinlopen in the middle of the night, but didn't see any polar bears. After a few hours sleep, we tried to sail further south into the drifting ice. This was a good move and we found a Polar bear (# 10) which was cooperative and curious. This was our first close encounter polar bear of the expedition and everyone was very happy.
One hour later we found another Polar bear. It was a big male bear with fresh seal kill. Amazing! I had never seen this situation before on any of the 11 previous expeditions!
Besides the big male there was also one female bear and another male making an appearance. With today's four polar bears we had so far seen 13 bears in five days which is considered very good, especially since there was a lot of ice around.
Day 6 – 27.07.2011 After a night at anchor our plan was to visit a walrus colony. But, because of the difficult ice conditions and the approaching haze we decided to sail north to the great bird cliff at Alkehornet. This was a good decision, since we had much better light conditions. We were in the zodiacs from 21:00 to 02:30 under the great midnight sun.
Day 7 – 28.07.2011 After lunch we arrived at Liefdefjorden and the famous Monaco Glacier. This glacier is one of my favourite glaciers on Svalbard. We had a short hike up to the edge of the glacier for some landscape shots.
In the evening we were back in the zodiacs from 21:30 to 03:30. It may sound like a very long zodiac cruise, but with great light conditions and photo opportunities it was time well spent. We also found a polar bear with two cubs (# 16 total), but they were mostly hidden on one of the islands.
Day 8 – 29.07.2011 On the trip from Liefdefjorden to the western side of Spitsbergen we had rough seas, but in Lilliehööksfjorden it was calm again. We boarded the zodiacs at around 22:00 for a very successful evening. First we had 4 Ringed seals swimming around our zodiacs, and later we discovered a swimming Polar bear (#17). This bear was heading toward a resting Bearded seal, and was only 10 cm from catching the seal. This was very exciting to see. We got some nice pictures of the bear resting on blue ice, which was one of the great highlights of the trip. The last zodiac was back to our ship at 04:50 in the morning. It was time to rest!
Day 9 – 30.07.2011 After breakfast we tried to find some Bearded seals in Kongsfjorden, but it was not easy. Instead we had a close encounter with one of the rarest breeding birds on Svalbard – the Long-tailed skua. We had planned to spend the evening near a walrus colony, but all of the colonies were empty for some reason.
Day 10 – 31.07.2011 For our last day on Svalbard, we had to head back to Longyearbyen before midnight. We had a WET landing at Alkehornet, and photographed some reindeer, before we followed the ice toward Longyearbyen.
When we finally anchored in Longyearbyen there were many tired, but happy photographers. For me, this was one of the best photo expeditions to Svalbard, with many exciting and unique encounters with polar bears and other animals, in addition to the many great photo opportunities.
NOTE: Let us know if you want to participate in a similar 10-day photo expedition to Svalbard. The photo expeditions July 2012 are almost sold out, with only a few spots available on the second expedition
25/-4/8 2012!

The standard 12-lead EKG consists of 6 precordial leads (V1-V6) and 3 limb leads. Yes, 6 + 3 does not equal 12, but we will get to that soon enough. For now, just focus on how to properly place the electrodes. Of note, there are often four electrodes placed, with the extra lead placed on the right leg to serve as a grounding wire.
To ensure accuracy, anatomical landmarks should be used when placing leads. When proper technique is not used, there is a tendency to misplace the leads superiorly, leading to changes in wave shape and amplitude.
V1 – fourth intercostal space at the right sternal border
V2 – fourth intercostal space at the left sternal border
V3 – midway between V2 and V4
V4 – fifth intercostal space in the midclavicular line
V5 – horizontal plane of V4 in the anterior axillary line (or between V4 and V6 if the anterior axillary line is unclear).
V6 – in the horizontal plane of V4 in the midaxillary line. *See V5 note
In women with large breasts, electrodes may be placed under or over the breast tissue.
There are three limb leads, one on each arm and one on the (traditionally left) leg. Previously, electrodes were placed on the wrist and ankles. This was a continuation of the original string galvanometer developed by Willem Einthoven, who had his patients dip their hands and feet in buckets filled with a salt water solution. However, the limbs are now viewed as simple electrical extensions that do not appreciably alter the EKG recording, so placement has been moved closer to the torso for ease of use. Currently, limb leads may be placed anywhere distal to the shoulders and hips.
The grounding wire has been included in this illustration.

Lady from October but beginning new thread
posted by: teeboo on 12.31.2013 at 01:00 pm in Kitchens Forum Starting a new thread so I can clean up all the unrelated messages now that I have finally made some decisions. I would like to say up front: THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all your fabulous responses. Since I was so erratic some were tossed but as stated I have made some decisions and just have a few more.
First I will attach picture of layout of kitchen but keep in mind they show 2 windows to left of island but I only have 1. Also the front of cottage is almost all glass so you can drink in the view of the water, hence the removal of the wall between the old kitchen and the living room. Cannot download but 1 picture at the time, so I will send others with follow up post. Thanks, Jenn NOTES: <none>

Also free for iOS and Android, Pine Games' Hacker's Escape is, as the title would imply, an escape game that looks like it's set within what one of those primetime cop dramas think a hacker's room actually looks like. You know. Where they hack your firewalls and plugin your interwebs. But then, that campy aesthetic is sort of the point, as you see from the various homages to classic technothrillers around the room. To play, just click to interact. The text that appears at the top of the screen will tell you what you're looking at when it's interactive, and also show you if you're about to change orientation by moving around the room. The, ahem, fist you start out with in your inventory at the bottom of the screen is actually "force", so you can use it on objects that require a little bit of exertion to move or use. To combine items, or use one item on another, click them both in your inventory one at a time. Not only are codes hidden around the room, but you'll find a lot of electronic equipment you'll need to put to good use if you ever want to find your way out. So get cracking, and get hacking!
New Free Online Games
Here in the Weekday Escape studios, things tend to be rather heavily biased toward free online escape games. Which is great: What's not to love about being able to turn on your computer, open your browser, and plug into fun puzzles all centered on the concept of escaping from your confinement? There's not only enjoyment in the actual mental stimulation, there is immense satisfaction in the symbolic escape from your surroundings. So this week, besides living up to expectations and presenting three typical escape games—brought to you by Hottategoya, No1Game and FunkyLand—I thought I'd break out of the mold and suggest a few things different. After all, if it's been a while since you've dug through the JayIsGames archives, perhaps this week's featured trio will be the inspiration to get you started...
[Please note that due to the fact that I did not receive my review copy until last night, and technical issues related to the game, this review should be considered ongoing and may be updated as I continue to play.]
Techland's Dying Light combines everyone's two favourite things... zombies and intense physical activity. At the start of the game, you're air-dropped into what is essentially a war zone... an entire city under lockdown for months after the spread of a plague that turns people into the mindless undead. You're there trying to retrieve a stolen file and tracking down a rogue agent, but the survivors who save you from turning into zombie chow don't know that. To them you're just Crane, a guy trying to get by and willing to pull his weight by helping them survive. They've even set you up with some Antizin following an unfortunate bite... the only thing capable of staving off the zombification process. It's safe to say they might not be so friendly and sympathetic if they knew why you were really there... especially since their doctor is working on a cure that your superiors are very interested in. By day you'll spend your time helping the other people living in The Tower, while also trying to accomplish your own objectives, but when night falls, well, something else joins the hordes roaming the city streets, and not even the rooftops will keep you safe. Dying Light combines rooftop, wall-climbing, parkour action in this thriller, along with crafting, skill trees, and sidequests galore, not to mention a "be the zombie" multiplayer mode, for a surprisingly immersive and definitely gorgeous adventure in a sprawling, dangerous city, but clunky combat and (as of this writing) serious performance issues are as ugly as the zombies themselves at times.
Lovely, dreamy, and "look, Ma, I made a bunny!" are just a few of the words you could use to describe Triada Studios' iOS puzzle game Shadowmatic, a title that combines the shifting perspectives of Starlight with shadow puppets and tchotchkes. In each level, your goal is simply to figure out how to twist and align whatever object(s) you have so that the shadow cast on the wall creates something. Well, something specific, anyway. Just press and hold on the screen and drag your finger around to rotate. If there's more than one object, you can swap between them by tapping the button in the lower-left corner, or hold down the button with one finger and swipe with another to move them both relative to one another. At the bottom of the screen you'll see a progression of dots that will slowly light up depending on how close you are to figuring out what you're supposed to be making. No special skills or ambigous "gamer" cred required here... just an appreciate for eye and ear candy, and a willingness to, like, relax, maaaaaaaaan.
Functu's bunny is back for another short but sweet and swanky point-and-click puzzle, neon-soaked trip in Easy Joe 3. To help Joe through each screen, it's your job to figure out what things to click, and in what order, to allow him to proceed safely through. The game lives up to its name for the most part due to a general amount of simplicity to the puzzles... most areas only have a few things to click on, making the hardest part forcing yourself to stop grooving in your chair long enough to play. Still, what the game lacks in complexity, it makes up for in sheer bizarro charm. Why don't you like the guy on that scaffolding? What's up with the (presumably) girl bunny and the bow? Who knows! Just help Joe get through it all, and everything will be okay.
Having your city transformed into a retro video game doesn't sound so bad, if you ask us. Having multiple lives is a sweet deal, and you could recover from a sprained ankle just by eating a roast chicken! And for that matter, you could eat an entire roast chicken in a single sitting! But when there are alien invasions involved, things have a tendency to get less fun. So it's up to the heroes of Retroacan, by Pixcomp, to save their home turf from the alien army that's pixellated their world. With an arsenal of corn chips, tamales, and even an NES Zapper, they'll have a platform-hopping, monster-exploding adventure inspired by classic shooter games such as Contra. Choose from one of two characters to start, with four more waiting to be unlocked. You'll move with the [arrow] keys, and just like in a proper retro game, you only need two other buttons: [X] or [S] to jump, and [Z] or [A] to shoot. But how many of those classic games can say they contain rabbits that turn into helicopters, top hat-wearing frogs, and wacky inflatable arm-flailing tubemen? Retroacan bills itself as 80's-game pastiche, sure. But it's also a joyously weird, whimsical, and surreal little platform adventure that looks and plays like an explosion in a third grader's imagination. In a good way.
Less an actual game and more a piece of lovingly rendered fanart wrapped in a somewhat interactive narrative, Ghostbusters: Bust In Peace is the pixel-tastic comic crafted by Francesco Muja. Created in three parts, this comedic story follows everyone's favourite iconic Ghostbusters on a series of the sort of jobs they're uniquely qualified for, though it quickly becomes apparent there's something bigger going on behind the scenes. All you need to do to play is click to advance the scene, and occasionally make a choice that determines the way the chapter plays out. Making the right decisions will impact how well you're graded on certain outcomes. So, yes, it's a lot of reading, and, yes, your enjoyment is going to depend on how much you love the hits '80s films, though even if you don't know what to do if someone asks you if you're a god, Bust in Peace is still funny and well made enough to be worth a view. Because it's made of a lot of different edited sprites, not all of the characters and scenery look as if they "go" together, but the panels unfold with great cinematic execution and an eye for detail that gives the scenes a lot of life. Ghostbusters: Bust in Peace is far more funny than freaky as its source material would seem to demand, and if you're in the mood for a satisfying supernatural yarn with a lot of yucks that pays homage to the series in an almost note-perfect fashion, it's well worth loading up for a read.
Note: This game deals with themes some may find upsetting
You wouldn't think there can be much to a game that takes place in a cell you can only move a foot in in three directions. Wertpol proves that wrong by giving us this, best described as a free indie visual novel, Presentable Liberty. You start off with no back story, and only know you are in a prison cell, trapped and locked away from the world. The only connection you have to any living person are letters that are somehow slipped under your door. There is no way for you to reply, so all you can do is click the letters to read them, and accept their gifts to you, which is done by using the number keys to select them, and then right-clicking to use. Through these letters a terrifying story unfolds, but all you can do about this is stand in your cell, watch your little pet bug run around, or play the games given to you by your Personal Buddy™ that is meant to keep you happy and non-suicidal... though the letters are really all you have left.
You might think you're starting out as an ordinary fruit farmer, harvesting normal tangerines til your heart's content, but then the ordinary tangerine doesn't grow a mustache nor sport a dapper hat, now does it. Inspired by the ever popular Cookie Clicker, Gaz Thomas, creator of the Red Remover series, brings us Tangerine Tycoon. In this silly incremental game, start by clicking the tangerine to produce more tangerines (I'm sure there's a scientific explanation for that somewhere), then use your earned tangerines as currency to buy fruit producing shrubs, trees, farms, and other... not so conventional things that produce tangerines automatically.
Ready to go boldly forth as a mighty shining paladin, braving untold legendary creatures, saving princesses from horrific fiends, proving your valor and saving the land by completing heroic quests, reaping huge treasures and gaining prestige and reknown? Wait... you know what? Hang on a sec. As any fan of RPGs can tell you, there are only so many times we can reuse those old gaming tropes. Just for once, could we do something different? What's that? We can? Righteous. I'll come in again.
Welcome to cozy Perlan Farm. Meet Farmer Jerrat as he tends the livestock early each morning, plays handyman around the farmstead, and dotes devotedly on his loving wife Meerla. Together they manage to keep the farm going and raise their newborn son, Pellan. It's not a glamorous or lucrative way of life by any means, but together they manage to get through it all with plenty of love and support to make up the difference and Jerrat considers himself the luckiest man in all the land. This humble yet fulfilling existence is brought to a sudden halt when Meerla and their son Pellan are brutally slain by a platoon of soldiers on the move, in urgent need of supplies and unwilling to leave any witnesses to their presence alive to tell the tale. Returning to find his farm and homestead pillaged and his family in an unspeakable condition, Jerrat finds he must bury them both himself and resolves to find whoever is responsible and avenge their deaths. So begins The Tale of a Common Man, the unconventional RPG by Aldorlea Games that presents a whole new take on what the genre can be. Though you'll still duke it out with enemies in classic turn-based combat, when you level up, you can allocate stat points to build your party as you wish, and craftable potions add another interesting wrinkle to the gameplay. With seven party members (including one more optional character!), secret rooms, sidequests, and more, The Tale of a Common Man is a satisfying whopper of a classic RPG with a very un-classic premise.
Sometimes you want a puzzle game that's brutally difficult, complicated, and full of flair. Sometimes you want a puzzle game that feels like your favourite person gently stroking your hair and murmuring soft reassurances to you on a lazy evening while a cup of your favourite hot beverage warms your palms. Elio's Invert Selection was definitely firmly in the latter's camp, and so of course so too now is Invert Selection Levels Pack. The premise is still the same... your goal is to make the grid image in the main play area look like the one shown in faded overlay by using tools that add, delete, or invert portions of the screen. Just click and drag to select what portion of the grid you want to transform, and then release to activate the change. You have limited turns to recreate the image, and you have to use the tools in the order in which they're presented to you. Throw in a beautiful soundtrack by PiperockArts and a clean and lovely user interface, and you've got a sleek and smart game to engage your brain... now with fifty additional levels!
Life's not easy for a cube. You're not the most aerodynamic shape, you can't exactly roll or squeeze through tight spaces. But you'd never guess it from the jovial little polygon at the center of Qubed: New Adventures. Your little avatar is always grinning... assuming you can avoid the spikes that it is. This physics platform game has you controlling the little square dude with the [WASD] or [arrow] keys to maneuver through all 20 levels of swimming, box-pushing, switch switching, and star-collecting. You can also split into smaller cubes with the [spacebar] which can be controlled individually, allowing for a little puzzle gameplay to work its way into the mix.

Depths of Boatmurdered is a free indie, horror game that it a lot like a Zelda dungeon with its push puzzles and somewhat maze like layout. Only in this dungeon, there are plenty of creepy things that want to remove your face, and there isn't a master sword to save you. Steve Hayden's creepy adventure starts off with our bearded hero lost, alone, and confused. His first reasonable goal is to find shelter, but then continues to advance forward exploring the depths of darkness with nothing but his trusty lantern he found along the way. He still stays lost, but finds out rather quickly, that he's not alone anymore. The few items you can pick up are used with the [Z] button and the weapon you finally find is used with [X], but it doesn't kill the beasts. Swinging your lantern with [Z] on fire pits will cast some more light in the area, but you'll find these demons from below aren't scared of a little light. This game can also be controlled with a Xbox controller so there are two ways to lose yourself to this terrifying tale of survival.
Worry not, witch lovers of the world! No witches were harmed in the making of Godseed's new tower defense game, Witch Hunt. In fact, it's the witch herself doing the hunting! Saucy young sorceress Lucrea has discovered that the giant crystal obelisk she's defending contains a demonic entity of greed, and any living thing that dies in its presence gets immediately transformed into money. And if a bunch of common sense-challenged goblins happen to try attacking her to steal it, well, she's only making the best of a bad situation! Using her mystical powers of fire, ice, and lightning, she'll drive away the goblin army and make a literal killing doing it. Oh, and something about getting the crystal to a magical tower or something, but more importantly, money. Swap between her three elements with [Q], [W], and [E], and aim her attacks with the cursor. You can click to fire at will, or even enable automatic shots if your trigger finger isn't that itchy. Blast away everything that wants to get its mitts on your crystal, and reap the delicious rewards! It's an intense, high-action, almost shooter-like take on tower defense, and it also packs a killer sense of humor. How many other games let you summon fiery penguins to do your bidding?
[Please note that unfortunately this game displays ads while loading the interior of the cave at the very beginning of each reentry. This is not something we can control as it is a decision of the developers. The ads are short and automatically vanish when the cave loads, usually after a few seconds. These ads support the developer who created the game.]
In Dustin Auxier's The Enchanted Cave 2, the RPG roguelike sequel to the original 2010 game, you arrive in a village like everyone else to take advantage of the titular cave, a mysterious opening into the earth filled with monsters, treasure, and more that randomizes every time you go into it. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it is, though powerful equipment and riches can be found further in, and the only way out is to find and use the Escape Wings before you die. The catch? Whenever you leave, every item except gold-bordered artifacts and your coins are destroyed, though you'll keep any levels you've earned as long as you don't die. The locals view the cave as a valuable source of income, and adventurers come from miles around to seek its treasures. But more people go missing inside it every month. And who created it anyway? With crafting, secrets, monsters, and treasure galore, The Enchanted Cave 2 is simple to pick up, but seriously hard to put down.
Good fortune (and fun!) will come to those who dig through the archives.

e-Prescribing from the perspective of a CIO
On March 13th I posted about the use of the iPhone for e-prescribing. Here is a great commentary on the benefits of e-prescribing from the perspective of a physician CIO at CareGroup Health System and Harvard Medical School. Seems that the benefits are real, resulting in a significant impact on the bottom line for medical groups and hospitals.
_________________Time and Resource Impact:
1. Prior to full implementation of e-prescribing, Medical Assistant call-in of prescriptions averaged 350 prescriptions per day. We've reduced this to 80/day and we'll further reduce this to 30/day by next month when all residents go live with e-Prescribing.2. Each call-in averages 4 minutes per prescription and this equals 23 hours or 3 FTE worth of work per day, approximately $96,000.00 of salary. This has been reduced to 0.66 FTE of Medical Assistant work per day or $21,000.00 salary.
3. The Medical Assistant staff are now available to more consistently perform the core work required to support the patients, providers, and practice. In the past, the lack of control over the daily volume of prescriptions resulted in unpredictable exam room support.
4. We experienced significant improvement in efficiency and patient satisfaction in the time for prescriptions to reach the pharmacy. With e-prescribing, prescriptions travel quickly to pharmacies versus up to 2 days for the rx to be called to the pharmacy.
5. We have also seen a decrease in medication errors, in terms of wrong patient, wrong medication, wrong dose since e-prescribing has decreased the potential for "communication errors"
6. We are able to track prescriptions more efficiently. With the paper call-in system, rxs were being called in by many people. Now we can look in our EMR and quickly determine where a prescription is in the process (i.e. in queue, transmitted successfully, transmission failed, etc)

SUPERVALU Inc. (NYSE: SVU) announced today a definitive agreement under which it will sell its Albertsons, Acme, Jewel-Osco, Shaw's and Star Market stores and related Osco and Sav-on in-store pharmacies (collectively, the "Banners") to AB Acquisition LLC ("AB Acquisition"), an affiliate of a Cerberus Capital Management L.P. ("Cerberus")-led investor consortium which also includes Kimco Realty Corporation (NYSE: KIM), Klaff Realty LP, Lubert-Adler Partners and Schottenstein Real Estate Group, in a transaction valued at $3.3 billion.
Sam Duncan (Photo: Business Wire)
The sale will consist of the acquisition by AB Acquisition of the stock of New Albertsons, Inc. ("NAI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SUPERVALU, which owns the Banners, for $100 million in cash (the "Sale"). NAI will be sold to AB Acquisition subject to approximately $3.2 billion in debt, which will be retained by NAI. As part of the transaction, which includes 877 stores across the Banners, AB Acquisition-owned Albertson's LLC will reunite its Albertson's stores with the acquired NAI Albertsons stores.
In addition to the Sale, within ten business days of today, a newly-formed acquisition entity owned by a Cerberus-led investor consortium ("Symphony Investors") will conduct a tender offer for up to 30 percent of SUPERVALU's outstanding common stock at a purchase price of $4.00 per share in cash (the "Tender Offer"). The Tender Offer represents a 50 percent premium to SUPERVALU's thirty-day average closing share price as of January 9, 2013, and provides SUPERVALU's shareholders with the opportunity to maintain an equity stake in SUPERVALU moving forward.
In the event that Symphony Investors does not obtain at least 19.9 percent of the outstanding shares of SUPERVALU common stock pursuant to the Tender Offer, SUPERVALU will be obligated to issue new shares of common stock to Symphony Investors (the "Issuance") at the Tender Offer price such that after giving effect to the Tender Offer and the Issuance, Symphony Investors would own a number of shares representing at least 19.9 percent of SUPERVALU's outstanding common stock prior to the Issuance. SUPERVALU also will have the option to issue to Symphony Investors additional new shares of SUPERVALU common stock at the Tender Offer price (the "Optional Issuance"), subject to (i) an overall cap of $250 million on Symphony Investors purchase of common stock pursuant to the Tender Offer, the Issuance and the Optional Issuance (collectively, the "Tender Offer Process") and (ii) a total issuance of primary common shares of not more than 19.9 percent.

"Please Don't Go" is a song by American singer, songwriter, and producer Mike Posner. This song was released as the second single from his debut album 31 Minutes to Takeoff (2010). It was released last September 6, 2010. The song was written and produced by Posner himself in collaboration with American songwriter and producer Benjamin Levin better known as Benny Blanco. It was inspired to bring people together and to sound different to other mainstream music material.
The track uses lyrics, written by Posner, that plead for his girlfriend not to leave him. "Please Don't Go" features background vocals from Blanco in the song's chorus. Musically, the song is uptempo and contains prominent synthpop, hip hop and trance characteristics.

Fighter pilot. Flight instructor. Navy captain. Nuclear engineer.
Those are just a few of the accomplishments that decorated Navy officer and Rhode Island native Capt. Andrew J. Loiselle has logged on his resumé.
So what could be next?
On Thursday, Loiselle, who grew up in Cranston, will join the rarefied ranks of those chosen to command an aircraft carrier.
In a special ceremony at the Navy base in Norfolk, Va., Loiselle, 46, will assume command of the George H.W. Bush — a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that is home to more than 5,000 Navy personnel.
Assuming command of the 1,092-foot-long ship (which is about as long as New York City's Chrysler building is tall) will make Loiselle one of 10 people in the world in charge of a Navy aircraft carrier.
"It is very much an honor," Loiselle said in a phone interview earlier this week. "It's something I've worked hard for for a long time."
Friends and family members from all over are flying to Virginia for the formal ceremony, including one of Loiselle's brothers, Lt. Alan Loiselle of the Cranston Police Department.
Loiselle's parents, Martin Sr. and Suzanne, said they are proud of all five of their children and never had much of a hint that Andrew was headed for such a prominent leadership role in serving his country.
"I'm a mom, and as I'm mom I'm extremely proud of all my children," she said on Wednesday. "They are all successful, happy, and close with each other … but obviously what Andy has accomplished is above and beyond.
"He does it all humbly and is matter-of-fact about what he basically considers doing his job."
She said that she and her husband, a retired French teacher from Cranston High School West, raised their family on a small, friendly side street in Cranston's Edgewood section. (The couple now lives in Warwick.)
She said that Andrew was a regular, all-American boy who played baseball, went to Bishop Hendricken High School and didn't show any particularly strong interest in the military or flying planes.
Her husband, however, she said, remembers Andrew watching jets roar overhead one year at the Quonset Air Show and calmly declaring that one day he would be one of those pilots.
Loiselle went to Assumption College in Worcester, Mass., on a ROTC scholarship and graduated from there with a degree in mathematics.
After that he trained on F-14 Tomcat jets at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla. He flew for about three years with the Navy fighter squadron called the Ghostriders and completed missions in Bosnia and Iraq in the early 1990s.
Loiselle was later trained to pilot the F-18C Hornet fighter jet and reported to China Lake, Calif.
For a while he was stationed in Japan, and when he returned stateside and earned a master's degree in business administration through a Navy post-graduate program. "The Navy values education highly," he said.
He served as a flight instructor for fighter pilots and in 2005 took command of the Blue Diamonds flight Squadron.
Loiselle said he has logged more than 3,400 mishap-free flight hours and more than 840 landings on aircraft carriers — nearly half of them at night.
With more than 17 years in the cockpit of fighter jets under his belt, Loiselle said he decided to pursue nuclear training at the Navy's Nuclear Power School in South Carolina and completed his work in nuclear engineering at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C.
He was named second-in-command of the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt and then worked with the U.S. Joint Forces Command in Norfolk.
Loiselle said it's all part of the "pipeline" if you want to be considered for command of a ship, and last year he was given his first command on the Gunston Hall, an amphibious landing ship.
And despite all his experience and training, taking charge of aircraft carrier like the George H. W. Bush can be a little daunting, Loiselle said.
"It's a lot of work … you don't get much sleep," he said of the ship, which is essentially a floating city and air base that never sleeps.
Powered by two nuclear reactors, the ship towers 20 stories above the waterline and has a 4½-acre flight deck.
He said the carrier is deployed "whenever the Navy tells us." And while he can be at sea for months, this week was about celebration and getting ready to assume command.
Loiselle, who is married and has six children, said he got to visit the Bush family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, where he lunched with former President George H.W. Bush.
Having served as a Navy pilot, Bush takes a great interest in the ship that is his namesake and was "extremely gracious," Loiselle said.
"Since he was a pilot, too, he's very much a kindred spirit," Loiselle said.
When Loiselle is not working, his first priority is his family, but he said he still makes time for playing the guitar, a passion he's had since he was a teenager.
And yes, despite his world travels, there are things he still misses about Rhode Island — mostly the food and the fact that the state is populated with family-run restaurants, rather than chains.
"We're proud of all our kids," said his dad. "And when you look at your children growing up, you want the best for them and you want them to succeed — but you never really imagine something like this."

Rabies: how to stay safe
Last week a British grandmother died here in the UK from rabies, a disease that causes inflammation of the brain, after being bitten by a puppy while holidaying in India. Before her death, there had been just four reported cases of humans suffering from rabies in Britain since 2000, and all these cases had been infected abroad.
But while its been over 100 years since a person picked up rabies from an animal in the UK, more than 50,000 people in 150 countries still die from the disease every year, mainly in developing countries, especially in Asia and Africa – often cheap popular tourist destinations.
The main rabies risk to tourists is stray dogs, who can transfer the disease through biting or licking (if their saliva gets through broken skin), but any warm blooded animal can transfer the disease. If you have been bitten, it is crucial to receive a vaccine shot as soon as possible, as the sooner you receive this, the better your chances of recovery. Once you start to show signs, including flu-like symptoms, severe headache, vomiting, slight paralysis, delirium and a fear of water, not much can be done, and the mortality rate is 99%.
Speaking to Metro, Dr Behrens, senior lecturer at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said 'The first 24 hours are critical to try and stop the infection from developing.'
'You really have to get the immunoglobulin (vaccine) into the wound within 24 hours to make sure the virus is killed before it spreads.
'The problem is, you could be in most countries where rabies is prevalent and you won't find this drug. If you go to a rural clinic in say India or Sudan, you won't find it. You may not even find it in the capital of those countries because it is restricted.'
The good news is that vaccinations against the disease are available for around £160 here in the UK, so if you are travelling to a foreign country where rabies is a risk, or are going to be in a remote area away from medical help, be sure you stump up for all the relevant shots.
Be aware that three doses of the vaccine are usually given. The first injection, a second injection seven days later and a third injection 21-28 days after the first injection, so be sure to plan ahead.
And while the shots may dent your spending money, it's the biggest bargain you'll ever buy, considering you are paying for your life.

Our Work CHC's four policy areas define the work of our programs, coalitions, and advocacy. Healthcare Systems works to reduce disparities in healthcare, improve the quality of healthcare delivery, and preserve the healthcare safety net. The Healthcare Systems coalitions mobilize community resources to increase access to quality care and improve health in the South Los Angeles community, build capacity for community organizing and health policy advocacy, and engage the public engagement in action around these areas. Access & Quality's active coalitions are the Coalition for Health & Justice and South Los Angeles Healthcare Roundtable. Nutrition Resources works with local communities to build and transform community assets. The coalitions promote the preservation and expansion of open space in one of the nation's most densely-populated metropolitan areas, work to expand the availability and quality of food and physical activity options through community development, and monitor the sale and promotion of foods for better stores and food selection in South Los Angeles. African Americans Building a Legacy of Health (AABLH) is the organizing
movement within our Community Health & Education policy area with three coalitions: Food Policy Roundtable, Food Resource Development and Coalition for an Active South LA and a community campaign, the Neighborhood Food Watch.

Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore has moved to shake up his top
management and introduce a leaner and more efficient managerial structure.
Several departments that are currently headed by chief
officers have been consolidated and will now be headed by a director who
reports to the CEO.
Effectively, some chief officers will have to take a less
prominent role if they wish to remain at Safaricom sources told the Star yesterday. In a communication to staff on Thursday, Collymore unveiled
the new organizational structure that now sets the stage for interesting
positioning amongst chief officers and top managers as they seek to head the
newly created departments. "I believe that it will
facilitate our determination to commit more fully to our customers, eliminate
unnecessary duplication and by decentralizing decisions, it will also
facilitate our values of speed, simplicity and trust," Collymore said of the
The structure first divides
Safaricom into four profit centered divisions and six business support
departments as well as a personal assistant to the CEO.
The move reduces the number of
people reporting directly to the CEO to seven directors, two general managers,
an executive business analyst/project management officer and the PA.
Anxious Chief Officers who previously
headed the thirteen previous divisions and top managers are said to be applying
for the newly-created positions which are expected to be filled in the next two
weeks. "We have just created the
positions, we have not filled them," Collymore told the Star when contacted for
However, speculation is already rife as to which managers will
end up reporting to their colleagues with up to three chief officers finding
themselves in one division.
Finance, headed by Chris Tiffin has been consolidated with
Investor Relations and Procurement headed by Les Baillie and Francis Murabula.
The powerful Technical department headed by John Barorot that
oversees all Safaricom engineers now becomes Technical/IT merging with Chief
Information Officer Robert Mugo's office.
Marketing, headed by Wangari Murugu merges with Pauline Warui's
Customer Care but Communications has been hived off marketing and combined with
legal and external affairs currently headed by Claire Ruto.
The director of resources will oversee human resource, facility
and security while risk management remains as is. M-PESA will stand alone under a director of financial
There will be two general managers; consumer business and
enterprise business while strategy may now fall under the executive business analyst.

"The recipe was easy to make and was very tasty. I substituted jalapeno for green chilies and kept the spice on the mild side. The second time I prepared it, I added frozen corn after the pressure cook. Corn and black-eye peas just seem to go hand in hand. Later for leftovers, I mixed in plain calrose rice and ate it for lunch."
"I've used this recipe twice with great success. It's very simple. People really like the hint of cinnamon in the chicken. I've used whole frier cut into pieces and skinless, boneless, breast meat."
"What a great recipe and good way to cook that cardboard-like dry package tortellini! This ?risotto? method enriched the tortellini flavor. I substituted veggie broth for chicken, dry Italian spice for fresh basil, and cooked crab for canned and added frozen peas (before the parmesan cheese) and a squeeze of lemon with great results.

Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks are mind-boggling evidence of a fifteenth-century scientific genius standing at the edge of the modern world, basing his ideas on observation and experimentation. This book will change children's ideas of who Leonardo was and what it means to be a scientist.
"With a totally captivating opening and a conversational writing style, Krull offers a vivid description of life in the Middle Ages: no printed books, no bathrooms, and a belief in magic. In a time when pig manure was used to cure nosebleeds, the dawning of the Renaissance would have been quite a contrast indeed. The book moves along at a steady clip and adds details to bring da Vinci and his times to life. The author discusses his lonely childhood, his insatiable curiosity and craving for knowledge, and how his illegitimate status affected his life. Most importantly, she shows the workings of a scientific mind and the close connection between science and art. Kulikov's stylish and exacting line drawings are engaging and incorporate many of the items and interests found in Leonardo's notebooks. Readers will come away from this accessible volume with an understanding of who Leonardo was and a desire to know more about this fascinating, brilliant man." -School Library Journal, starred review

Kraft Recalls Hot Dogs
WASHINGTON (CBS 2/Fox 28) -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today that Kraft Foods Group, Inc. is recalling approximately 96,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer Classic Wieners because the products may be mis-labeled.
The packages may actually contain Classic Cheese Dogs. The product labels are incorrect and do not reflect the ingredients associated with the cheese dogs. The products contain milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
The following products are subject to recall:
16 oz. packages individual consumer packages of
Classic Wieners Made with Turkey & Chicken, Pork Added with USE BY 16
Jun 2014 date and product code 044700000632
Cases of 16 oz. packages distributed to retailers of
Classic Cheese Dogs Made with Turkey & Chicken, Pork Added, and
Pasteurized Cheese Product with USE BY 16 Jun 2014 date and case code
The products were produced on March 2-3, 2014, and bear the establishment
number Est. 537H inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were
distributed to Kraft distribution centers and in retail stores
The problem was discovered by a consumer who notified the company on April
18, 2014. The company contacted the USDA the following day regarding the issue.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to
consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact
a healthcare provider.
The FSIS has not yet released lists of distributors who carried the product, so it is not clear if any consumers in Iowa are affected.

January in Scotland
By Emily Kindiger
January in Scotland…wow!
Compared to the last two months, quite a bit of activity has happened. I will beginning with New Year's Eve when one of my classmates invited the Modernities students over for a party. I learned very quickly when I arrived in the country that the Scots take their kilt very seriously, and when my friends and I arrived at the party, we were greeted by our hosts completely clad in their clan attire: kilt, sporran, Sgian Dubh (the small knife worn at the knee of the tall sock, pronounced skee-in-doo. Men in kilts is a typical occurrence here but it still took me by surprise to see someone of my own generation, who was not preparing for a wedding, wearing it.
The party was exciting and contained all the usual elements of a New Year's Eve party with the countdown, everyone singing Robert Burns' "Auld Lang Syne" and hugs all around from friends, acquaintances and people I had just met at the party. It was a kind goodbye to a wonderful 2013 and a friendly greeting to 2014.
Just a few days after New Year's, I decided to go to one of the pubs nearby, Jinty McGinty's, for the live music that plays on Sunday nights, and happened to meet two members of one of my favorite bands. Loving Celtic music, I have enjoyed the band Celtic Thunder for years, and at Jinty's I was appreciating some impressive fiddling from the first band when I look up and Celtic Thunder's George Donaldson walks past. About a minute later another band member Colm Keegan walks by. Wide eyed, jaw on the floor, probably with the expression of a 14-year-old at a Justin Timberlake concert, I realized 1) I had a pen and notebook and 2) I somehow, opportunistically, magically had my camera with me. Faking composure and strapping on all the bravery I could muster I introduced myself and learned these two performers really are as friendly and kind as you hope all celebrities are.
So after shaking hands, autographs, pictures, even a hug and one complete expression of elation, I enjoyed some wonderful music and nearly skipped back to my flat, quickly informing everyone I knew who I had just met. George Donaldson got his start performing at Jinty's (his favorite pub in Glasgow), and when he's not touring with Celtic Thunder he likes to come home and play.
So after New Year's and the Jinty McGinty experience, the excitement continued with the start of classes and a visit from my parents and one of my sisters. I had not seen my parents since early September and older sister in over a year, so to have the four of us all in one place was amazing. We almost had the whole family there. I gave them the tour of my school, the botanical gardens, we went to Edinburgh and the castle there, went to the Kelvingrove and Tall Ship/Riverside Museums, to Jinty's (which was probably my mother's favorite part of the trip!), to the City Centre and we even all made it to Stirling Castle.
Eight days was too short but I think each of us had a wonderful time. They loved Scotland and I was thrilled to show them around and just see and talk to them. Skype, phone calls/texts and even Facebook make the distance feel shorter, but to see them face-to-face was truly amazing. I am so happy they were able to come.
My first two weeks of January were busy, remarkably fun and astonishing, and now I am back to my regular schedule again and back into the groove of school. I hope everyone back home had a wonderful start to 2014 and that many exciting adventures await you. My next goal: learn about Burn's Night. All I know so far is that it is a night of celebration commemorating the birthday of the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Wish me luck!

Hey All,
I received a ficus from an online shipper about a week ago. It had a couple yellow leaves when it arrived, i thought nothing of it. The plant arrived in it's pot, but the soil was literally dripping wet. It still hasn't dried much at all and more leaves are changing from green to yellow and falling off. I have some gritty mix on hand, should I do a full repot now? If not, what should I do. -Kris |

Kris - also see the thread I'm linking you to below. Al |
Here is a link that might be useful: May be of additional interest. Click me!
Thanks for the advice Al. The roots aren't dead, but the soil is definitely way to saturated. It's sitting on news paper now. The roots are wrapped around the pot, it came out easily in one piece from the pot. I'm in Brooklyn, NY, pretty much as south as you can get in NYC (right by the Verrazano Bridge, if you'd like to google map it). I'll take a look at the link and respond there. |

TUCSON - After a cool morning start things start to heat up across Southern Arizona.
Daytime highs will rise about ten degrees from yesterday topping the mid 60s by this afternoon, according to Meteorologist John Patrick. It should be a much nicer wrap to the weekend under mostly sunny skies and light winds.
Spring feel will give way to a small taste of early summer as high pressure builds into the desert southwest. The 80s return by Tuesday and continue to climb to near 90 by the end of the work week.
