A new chief executive officer will be at the helm of pharmacy provider BioScrip Inc. starting next year.
Retail News Breaks Archives
ELMSFORD, N.Y. – A new chief executive officer will be at the helm of pharmacy provider BioScrip Inc. starting next year.
The company said Tuesday that Richard Smith, its president and chief operating officer, will take the CEO reins on Jan. 1. Smith will replace Richard Friedman, currently chairman and CEO, who is stepping down from the chief executive post to serve as nonexecutive chairman effective Jan. 1.
"Rick [Smith] has made significant improvements to the operations of BioScrip — as demonstrated by the successful integration of the Critical Homecare Solutions acquisition — and now is the perfect time to transition leadership over to him," Friedman said in a statement. "Having spent more than a decade at BioScrip in various executive management and board member roles, I'm proud to have been a part of the company's transformation into a key player in the specialty pharmacy and home infusion industry. I'm enthusiastic about Rick leading BioScrip into the company's next phase of growth."
Smith has served as BioScrip's president and COO since January 2009. Before joining the company, he was CEO and a director of Byram Healthcare Center, Inc., a provider of medical supplies and pharmacy items for long-term chronic patients, from June 2006 to December 2008. And prior to that, he served as president and COO of Option Care Inc., a home infusion and specialty pharmaceutical company, from May 2003 to May 2006.
"It's an exciting time to lead BioScrip given our strong position in the industry," Smith said in a statement. "We have many great assets, and I look forward to building an organization based on accountability, growing value through leveraging core competencies, and maximizing margins and operating cash flow generation."
Friedman has served as chairman of the board and executive chairman of BioScrip since the completion of the merger between MIM Corp. and Chronimed Inc. in March 2005. He previously was chairman and CEO of MIM, holding the chief executive post at the company since April 1998.
"On behalf of BioScrip's board of directors and the entire BioScrip team, I want to express our deep appreciation for Rich's many contributions and dedication to the company during the past 14 years, particularly the past four years when he reassumed the role of CEO," commented Stuart Samuels, a member of BioScrip's board and chairman of the its Management Development and Compensation Committee. "We look forward to Rich's continued commitment to the success of BioScrip in the role of nonexecutive chairman, which will facilitate Rick's smooth transition to CEO."
Elmsford, N.Y.-based BioScrip provides retail and specialty pharmacy services along with pharmacy benefit management, home infusion and other health care services. It operates a network of 32 community retail pharmacies in 16 states and the District of Columbia.
The $375 million cash and stock deal to acquire Critical Homecare Solutions (CHS), a provider of home infusion and chronic and acute care services, created one of the largest U.S. home care providers, according to BioScrip. The deal was unveiled in late January.
More recently, BioScrip purchased the pharmacy business of drugstore.com in a $10.5 million deal that closed this past summer. With the agreement, announced in early May, BioScrip became the pharmacy services provider for drugstore.com customers.
Also on Tuesday, BioScrip reported third-quarter financial results. The company said overall sales for the quarter climbed 32.3% to $441.2 million from $333.5 million a year earlier.
Pharmacy services revenue for the 2010 quarter came in at $329.3 million, up 11% from $296.7 million in the prior-year period. BioScrip said new revenue from the acquired drugstore.com pharmacy operations totaled $3.6 million. Infusion/home health services sales in the quarter was $111.8 million, a gain of $75 million from $36.8 million in the 2009 third quarter. CHS revenue contributed $68 million in the 2010 quarter; excluding the CHS sales, infusion/home health services revenue rose 19.1%, the company reported.
Net income for the 2010 third quarter totaled $2 million, or 4 cents per diluted share, compared with $5.7 million, or 14 cents per diluted share, a year earlier. BioScrip reported $18.1 million of adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the 2010 quarter versus $8.9 million in the year-ago period.
"Although the fundamentals of BioScrip are strong and we remain excited about the company's ongoing prospects, we recognize that we did not meet our guidance," Smith stated.
"In our infusion/home health segment, we were successful in posting solid organic growth, but revenue was slightly below our expectations. On the incremental $5.2 million of revenue in this segment, an additional $1 million, or 20%, of adjusted EBITDA was generated from the second quarter to the third, reflecting the strength of the higher-margin home infusion therapies and the cost synergies we are realizing from the CHS acquisition. In our pharmacy services segment, revenue exceeded our expectations, but the mix was not as strong as we anticipated. While new patient census grew, it was offset by lower-than-anticipated patient refill patterns."
BioScrip reported that based on its year-to-date results, the company is withdrawing its core financial guidance for the full-year 2010, as well as fourth-quarter 2010 revenue guidance, as management assesses its business, operations and 2011 outlook. The company said it expects to communicate its plans in January 2011.
"We are examining all aspects of our business model, and we intend to improve the quality of our revenue stream and reduce our overhead structure," according to Smith. "As a result of the company not meeting its expectations, we have accelerated a strategic assessment of our business lines and our operating cost structure."

Birds you can spot on Marsden Moor
Find out about ten of the different birds that can be spotted on Marsden Moor.
The twite is one of the rare birds that are known to nest on various areas of the estate. The breeding population has been in decline over the past 20 years. As a result of this, it is now a Red List species.
At Marsden Moor, we are working with the RSPB and Pennine Prospects to help ensure we manage their habitat correctly in order to prevent further decline and loss of the breeding pairs on the estate.
Red Grouse
The red grouse, which is only found in Britain, is one of the few birds to remain on the moor throughout the year.
The grouse will only live on heather moorland, and it nests within the heather. It needs young plants to provide food, and older heather plants for shelter and nesting.
The grouse is distinctive when it is disturbed and flies out of the heather fast, calling and beating its wings.
The curlew is perhaps one of the most distinctive moorland birds. It has a long curved beak and a recognisable call. It is a fairly large wading bird.
In the winter it migrates to the coast, returning to the moors to breed.
The curlew is another species that has been in decline over the past years. Changes in land use have led to fewer suitable areas for the curlew to breed.
The skylark may be best known for its song in flight, and less easy to spot while on the ground.
The skylark is another ground nesting bird, and again, the numbers are in decline. The birds need to rear 2 - 3 sets of chicks each year to maintain the populations, but a lack of food is making this impossible.
Meadow pipit
The meadow pipit is the most common songbird that can be found in upland areas.
Like the skylark, it is a ground nesting bird. It has a distinctive flight call, but can be distinguished from the skylark by its smaller size.
Golden plover
The golden plover breed on moorland and blanket bog during the summer months.
In the summer, their plumage is gold and black, making them fairly easy to identify. Their plaintive call can be heard, especially when they are nesting.
Carrion crow
A common, all year round species on the moors. They breed on rocky outcrops. They mainly feed on the eggs or small chicks of other birds.
The kestrel is easily distinguished by its hovering in the wind prior to diving on to its prey on the ground, normally voles or mice.
And if you're lucky...
You may spot:
Pied and grey wagtails - found near fast-flowing mountain streams.
Merlin - found on heather moorland.
Peregrine - often seen near cliffs and rocky outcrops.
Dunlin - found on peat bogs.
Ring Ouzel - found in cloughs or on rocky outcrops
Snipe - found on marshy ground.
Reed bunting - also found on marshy ground, but flocks to areas of bracken during winter.
Dipper - found in fast flowing streams.
Wheatear - found in rocky areas, may nest under rocks or in rabbit burrows.

Friday Poll: Anxious about cell phone radiation?
CNET recently updated its running lists of mobile phones that emit the highest and lowest amounts of radiation. How much thought, if any, do you give to SAR levels these days?
Measuring radiation worries
How worried are you about phone SAR levels?
This week, CNET updated its running list of the 20 cell phones with the highest specific absorption rate (SAR) levels. Debate over phone radiation danger has been going on for years, but it may be on more people's minds with all the talk about potential hazards of TSA body scanners .
The fact is that cell phones do emit radiation; it's part of how they work. We're not saying cell phones are dangerous, and we're not saying they're not. We're just stating the facts as we've measured them. To be fair, we also recently updated our list of the 20 lowest-emitting handsets.
But this poll is about opinion, Crave readers. How worried, if at all, are you about SAR levels? Let us know in the poll to the left, and in the comments section below.

Argentina's President Fernandez demands Falklands talks
Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has demanded that Britain enter negotiations over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands.
President Fernandez was addressing the UN Committee on Decolonisation on the 30th anniversary of the UK territory's liberation from Argentine occupation.
She said history and geography backed Argentina's claim. But an islander told the committee Argentina was "bullying".
UK Prime Minister David Cameron has said there would be "no negotiation".
Earlier on Thursday, the Falklands marked the end of Argentina's 74-day 1982 occupation with a service at Port Stanley's Christ Church cathedral.
Veterans of the war then led a military parade to the Liberation Monument for an act of remembrance, paying tribute to the 255 UK servicemen and three Falklands civilians who died in the war.
An estimated 650 Argentines were also killed during the conflict.
The BBC's Barbara Plett said President Fernandez made as much as she could of her platform at the United Nations, where a majority backs Argentina's demand that the Falklands' status be negotiated.
The president was accompanied by more than 90 delegates and raised the diplomatic stakes by travelling to New York personally on the sensitive anniversary of the islands' liberation, our correspondent said.
President Fernandez said that the Malvinas - as Argentina refers to the islands - formed part of the South American continental plate.
"How can it be claimed that, 14,000 kilometres away [8,700 miles], that it can be part of the British territory?" she asked.
"The UK is benefiting from its privileged position as a permanent member of the security council of the United Nations," she said.
"The issue of the Malvinas is a challenge to see whether or not we are capable of overcoming prejudice and cliches that are outdated, because the world has changed and there are new players."
President Fernandez said Argentina was "just asking to talk" about the islands' sovereignty and the fact they were still under British rule was "an affront to the world which we all dream of".
'Lust for lands'The Falklands War
- 2 April 1982: Argentine forces invade Falkland Islands. Other British South Atlantic territories including South Georgia are seized shortly afterwards
- 5 April: A British task force of more than 100 ships sets sail for the South Atlantic
- 25 April: South Georgia is recaptured by British forces.
- 2 May: Argentine cruiser General Belgrano sunk by HMS Conqueror, killing more than 320
- 21 May: Three thousand British troops begin landing at San Carlos on East Falkland
- 28-29 May: British forces recapture Goose Green.
- 8 June: British landing craft are bombed at Fitzroy, killing more than 50 men
- 13 June: Argentine positions on mountains overlooking the capital Port Stanley are taken
- 14 June: Argentine forces surrender. British troops march into Stanley
255 British servicemen and three Falklands civilians died during the conflict. The number of Argentine dead is estimated at about 650
Two Falkland Islands legislators also spoke at the same session, where they insisted on their right to self-determination.
Legislator Mike Summers said Falkland Islanders had a "distinct and clear identity" and considered the islands to be their country and home.
"As much as Argentina might like to airbrush us out of existence to satisfy its unjustified lust for our lands, such behaviour belongs to another era and should not be tolerated in the modern world," he said.
Mr Summers tried to pass a letter offering talks with the Falklands government to President Fernandez but could not get close enough.
Argentina's foreign minister refused to take the document telling the legislator to "send it to my embassy".
In a speech at the Falkland Islands Government reception on Thursday evening, David Cameron spoke of "aggression from over the water".
"My message to the government of Argentina is this: the UK has no aggressive intentions towards you.
"Accusations of militarisation and nuclear threats are hyperbole and propaganda.
"But do not under-estimate our resolve," he added.
"Threats will not work, attempts to intimidate the islanders will not succeed, because Britain stands ready and willing to stand up for the Falkland Islanders at any time.
"As long as they wish to remain a British territory, that is the way it will stay."
Mr Cameron paid tribute to the bravery of those who served in the Falklands and said Britain would always be in their debt.
Foreign Office minister Jeremy Browne attended the service in Port Stanley. He said it was "hard to convey" to the wider world "just how much this means to the Falkland Islanders".
"There are hundreds of people gathered here in what is frankly really freezing cold, inhospitable weather, and they are doing that because they are so grateful for what we achieved on their behalf 30 years ago," he said.
In London the Falklands' flag flew over government buildings.

Kudgi Super Thermal Power Project
This article is part of the Coal Issues portal on SourceWatch, a project of CoalSwarm and the Center for Media and Democracy. See here for help on adding material to CoalSwarm. |
This article is part of the CoalSwarm coverage of India and coal. | |
Sub-articles: | |
Kudgi Super Thermal Power Project is a proposed 4,000 megawatt coal-fired power station at Kudgi, Bijapur District in Karnataka, India.
The aerial photo of the plant site (as identified in the Environmental Impact Assessment and on Wikimapia) shows no construction as of the date of the photo, May 6, 2011.[1][2][3]
The project, which is being developed by NTPC, was promoted by the Power Company of Karnataka. The project is being developed in two phases with three 800 MW units being built first and the remainder in stage 2.[4]
The power station may take up to 3,200 acres of land.[5]
On its website NTPC only lists Stage I under its future capacity additions, as of 2014.[6]
Coal supply
Karnataka has no known fossil fuel reserves, including coal. NTPC proposes bringing in coal from Pakhri Barwadi in Jharkhand, with an additional allocation from a mine in Orissa "under process".[4]
The power station would divert 5.2 TMC/year of water from the Almatti reservoir. Critics say this will take water away from local household and agricultural needs. The Karnataka Government has identified water as the biggest impediment for industrialisation in the region: about 77% of the total geographical area of the state is arid or semi-arid.[5]
January 2014: JBIC Approves Loan
On January 25, 2014, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), upon the Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe's visit in India, signed a loan agreement with NTPC. The agreement provided for JBIC to provide a US$155 million loan and a US$55 million loan directed toward purchase of steam turbine generatorss from Toshiba and boiler water feedpumps from Ebara. In addition to the JBIC portion, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation will also provide cofinancing for each facility, bringing the total financing for steam turbine generators to US$259 million and the financing for boiler water feedpumps to US$ 91 million.[7]
March 2014: National Green Tribunal stops construction
in a ruling on 13 March 2014, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) in "MP Patil vs Union of India" ordered that work on the Kudgi project be halted until the MoEF reevaluated the environmental clearance. The five-member tribunal agreed with the petitioner that land at the project site was under cultivation, violating the MoEF's policy of denying clearances to projects if land is under cultivation.[8][9]

@seag47 – Even some home-cooked meals can lead to coronary artery calcification, if you eat them often enough. My grandmother grew up on a diet of fatty meats, vegetables flavored with animal fat, and bread baked with lard. She also suffered a heart attack at a relatively young age.
She had to have a coronary angioplasty. This is where the doctor sticks a balloon in your artery and inflates it to widen it. He did this right after her heart attack, and later on, he put a stent in there to help keep it open.
She had been having difficulty catching her breath and having chest pains for about a year prior to her heart attack, but she didn't see a doctor. Now, she is taking her health more seriously and making changes to her diet.

Temple Mount, known by some as Mount Moriah, is a site of tremendous religious importance to Muslims, Jews and Christians alike. It is one of Jerusalem's most famous landmarks and can be found within the walled section of the Old City. The glinting golden dome of the Dome of the Rock rises impressively from Jerusalem's skyline and has become the city's most distinguishable feature. Temple Mount is of Jewish and Christian historical importance on two accounts: the large rock is believed to be the place where Abraham offered his son Isaac up for sacrifice, and the First Temple is the place where the Ark of the Covenant was housed. Even though off limits to Jews today, it is still a focal-point of Jewish life, and Jews worldwide face the Temple Mount during prayer. For Muslims the same rock is the place from which Muhammad, in a dream, ascended to heaven. In commemoration of this apotheosis, the Dome of the Rock was built over the site in the 7th century. It is known to Muslims as theAddress: Temple Mount, Old CityTelephone: (02) 628 3393Transportation: Bus to the Dung GateOpening Time: The site is temporarily closed to non-Muslims due to religious tensions.

We wanted something different than a chain hotel for our Valentines weekend visit to St Augustin and we found it at Castle Garden. Bruce was a wonderful host.

We stayed at Castle Garden during our 25th wedding anniversary vacation. The location is excellent- just an easy walk to the Historic District. The B&B itself is charming, and our host, Bruce, was hospitable, friendly, warm and welcoming. Our room was spotless and comfortable. We look forward to staying there again on our next trip to the area.

The Castle Garden Bed and Breakfast is in an excellent location (just blocks away from the Old City gates) and is a fabulous, historical building. The room was clean, but cramped and had no furniture to relax in. Bruce was friendly and hospitable and gave some great tips for restaurants and sightseeing.

The Castle Garden Bed & Breakfast was absolutely wonderful. We received the accommodations as a wedding gift for our honeymoon. The building and grounds are breathtaking. The moment you walk into the door of innkeeper Bruce's home you feel like you have stepped back in time. We stayed in the "King and Queen Garden Room" which also included a 4'x6' whirlpool tub. The furniture was gorgeous. The view of the garden from the room was spectacular. The tub, with the complimentary bath salts, was beyond romantic. The only thing "modern" about the room was the mattress. It was so comfortable we ended up sleeping through breakfast two out of the three nights we were there. Breakfast with chef Bruce and Liz was delicious. Definitely fit for a king! The location is one of the biggest benefits of staying at the Castle Garden. You are right next to everything you want to see and do in Old Saint Augustine. You are within walking distance to everything but not on top of everything. You still have the opportunity of sitting on the front porch and enjoying the evening without hundreds of tourists walking past you like I noticed at some other local bed and breakfasts. This was our first experience with a bed and breakfast. Bruce's welcoming hospitality and the castle's inviting feel will definitely have us back for another visit in the future. Five stars all the way.

It was our first time at Castle Garden and we had a great time. The rooms had old world charm and our host, Bruce, was a delight. He entertained us with stories of St. Augustine and his lovely B&B. The location was great for walking to all of the attractions. Bruce is a great cook and his pancakes were to die for!!! He really made us feel special.

My wife and I recently celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary, and I randomly chose this B & B. Bruce, our host, was awesome. The rooms were clean, and the breakfast was great. Choose this one- you won't be disappointed!

5-9-13 to 5-12-13 We loved the Castle Garden B & B and would definitely recommend it. The location was perfect, walking distance to everything but on a quiet street. The proprietor Bruce was such a great host and Liz was awesome too! The Castle Garden has a wonderful history as it was the carriage house for the Warden Castle. A fantastic Historic Inn and a must stay! Thank you Bruce and Liz for your hospitality!
3,6 sur avril 05, 2013
Upon arriving, we noted that the outside area of the B&B was in somewhat of a jumble but we were pleasantly surprised with the inside. It was neat and orderly. We were immediately offered an upgrade on our room - apparently due to a last-minute cancellation - which we took. The room was spacious and clean but needed a comfortable sitting chair. The bath included a whirlpool tub and shower. The breakfasts were excellent each morning - although a little later than we would have liked and there was no morning coffee available until breakfast. The location is excellent - we walked to everything we wanted to go to - or took the trolley. All-in-all, a nice place to stay and would reccomend it. When we go back to St. Augustine, we will try to book it again.
5 sur février 27, 2013
We enjoyed our stay at Castle Garden. The location is perfect to park the car and walk to many locations around St Agustine. We stayed in room #5 which had plenty of space and very comfortable. We stayed for 2 nights. Each morning we had a wonderful hot breakfast. The building itself has some great history if you enjoy history of the area. Bruce made us feel very welcome, and was a good source of information about where to dine & shop. In the evening we enjoyed a nice bottle of wine, in the outside garden area. We would choose this location again.

When hiring and working with a Real Estate Broker, every homeowner needs to know: What services does a Real Estate Broker commonly provide? What is the best way to find good prospects? What should I look for when I interview the Real Estate Broker? And most importantly, how do I make sure that the Real Estate Service is done right?
Use the following information to understand your options, make good decisions and get quality work at a fair price.
How do I avoid the scams and get good Real Estate Service at a fair price? | Compile a list of support services and service outcomes (see the following section) that you require. Interview at least 2 qualified Real Estate Brokers for the work. Sign a written contract that protects your options and interests. |
What should I expect to pay for Real Estate Service? | Most Real Estate Service is performed on a commission basis. The commission fees are commonly calculated as a percentage of the total transaction amount and are due when the service is completed. |
Do I need to use a licensed Real Estate Broker for my job? If so - how do I verify license status? | A professional Real Estate Broker must be licensed to provide most Real Estate Services. To check a Real Estate Broker's license status, search the telephone directory or online for your state's professional license board or department. Contact the licensing authority to verify license standing and history for the business and individual. |
Should I use an insured Real Estate Broker for my project? | Insurance is usually not required for or needed for Real Estate Service. |
Does my Real Estate Broker need to be bonded? | A bond is generally not required for Real Estate Service. |
A Real Estate Broker can handle a number of jobs, activities and problems. The list below summarizes common Real Estate Services. Follow the appropriate links below to learn more about cost, options and quality requirements:
Not every Real Estate Broker has the same ability. Experience, skills, and sense of acceptable quality vary considerable. To get the results that you expect, it is essential that you put appropriate effort behind finding a Real Estate Broker matched to the specific requirements of your job - not simply someone that puts you at ease or wins your confidence. Before starting, make sure that you completely understand the work you want the Real Estate Broker to perform and the job quality you expect. Then, begin the selection process outlined below:
A written agreement greatly improves your odds of success when working with a Real Estate Broker. Never start work until you have a complete agreement signed by your Real Estate Broker. For small jobs use a written work order. For larger projects, use a detailed contract. Never feel pressured to use the Real Estate Broker's standard contract. Make sure the following points are included in the agreement:

Summer Fest: Top Ten Things to Do With Tomatoes
by Michelle Buffardi in In Season, Tomatoes, August 25, 2010We're teaming up with other food and garden bloggers to host Summer Fest 2010, a season-long garden party. Each week we'll feature favorite garden-to-table recipes and tips to help you enjoy the bounty, whether you're harvesting your own goodies or buying them fresh from the market. To join in, check out awaytogarden.com.
You say tomato. I say . . . well I say tomato, too. I don't actually know anyone who says to-mah-to. However you pronounce it, I think we can all agree that tomato season doesn't last long enough. So until someone figures out how to extend fresh tomato season by another 10 months or so, here are 10 ways you can enjoy them while we have them, and even preserve some for later.
10. Make sauce. Tomato sauce is quite possibly the most popular method of tomato consumption; even self-proclaimed tomato-haters eat the stuff on pasta and pizza. So while you're up to your ears in garden-fresh tomatoes, make a pot of sauce. Eat some now and freeze the rest in individual or family-sized servings — come February when there's not a decent tomato in sight, you'll be glad you did.
9. Make a tomato sandwich. No recipe needed — just slice fresh tomatoes, layer on whole-grain bread (I like to toast mine first), sprinkle with salt and pepper and eat. I see nothing wrong with eating this for breakfast, lunch or dinner every day until the tomatoes are gone.
8. How 'bout some gazpacho? It's like salsa soup, minus the chips. Non-traditionalists should try Gazpacho Salad or Rachael Ray's Deconstructed Gazpacho.
7. Tomato salad 5 ways: Panzanella (Tuscan tomato-bread salad), tomato salad stacks, Food Network Magazine's Nectarine-Tomato Salad, Emeril's Roasted Corn and Tomato Salad, or a super-simple Cucumber-Tomato Salad.
6. Dry them in the oven so they last a little longer. Plan on 4 hours of inactive cooking, but every minute is worth it for these oven-dried tomatoes.
5. Can them so they last a lot longer. If you're new to canning, can along with Kitchenette, she has great how-to photos on her blog.
4. Try a Spicy Tomato Jam. It's delicious over grilled chicken or swordfish, or as an accompaniment to cheese and crackers.
3. Swap fresh tomatoes for the sauce on pizza. Fresh tomatoes are so flavorful, you won't need to be heavy-handed with the cheese, making it a sensible way to have your pizza . . . and your figure too! (Try Giada's recipe, pictured above.)
2. Cut 'em up and make bruschetta. With anchovies, or without.
1. Make salsa. Once you see how easy it is to make homemade salsa, you'll shun the jarred stuff forever. I like Alton's recipe and Giada's, but I often just make mine to taste with whatever I have — sometimes I even throw avocado in it.
What did I miss? How do you eat your garden-fresh tomatoes? Let us know here, or join the conversation on twitter at #summerfood.

Extension talks 601 Main renovation with county
By RANDY GONZALES
The Ellis County Commission heard from Jeanie Michaelis of the Ellis County Extension Council at Monday night's regular meeting at the Ellis County Courthouse.
Michaelis updated the commissioners with needed improvements to the Kansas State Research and Extension office located at 601 Main. The office is scheduled to undergo renovation as part of an overall renovation plan for Ellis County office space.
"The Ellis County Extension agents and the executive board just wanted to make sure that you were aware of the needs that we feel are very important to us," Michaelis said.
Concerns raised by Michaelis included signage and entrance to the office and additional lighting in the parking lot. The issue of ice in the parking lot in the winter as well as proper drainage of the parking lot also was discussed with the commissioners.
Michaelis was assured it is early in the renovation process, and considerable discussion will be necessary before final plans are considered for the project.
The renovation project at Commerce Bank at 718 Main will be done first, followed by 601 Main.
In other business:
* Commissioners approved parking lot improvements at the Ellis County Fairgrounds.
"Part of our parking lot area, in front of the Schenk and Unrein Family building, needs to be re-done," said Ellis County Fair Board President Jill Pfannenstiel.
Commissioners approved re-paving the parking lot, accepting a bid from APAC of $12,389 for crushed concrete, which will be used for the lot. Labor and equipment from the county will be used.
"That will be dependent on the county's schedule," Commissioner Swede Holmgren said of the timetable for getting the work done.
* Commissioners will hold a special meeting at a later date to discuss the road and bridge prioritization project.
* Commissioners approved contracting with BG Consultants to design two road improvement projects on Old U.S. Highway 40. One would be resurfacing of 7 miles of pavement in the eastern part of the county and the other would be significant improvements on the road between Yocemento and Ellis.
* Commissioners took no action on a request from Southern Star, a company requesting an easement on Ellis County Fairgrounds property. The fair board previously had recommended the commissioners not approve the easement, saying the $3,000 in payment for a 25-year easement was too low, and the proposal would use more parking space than they were comfortable giving up.
Commissioners asked County Administrator Greg Sund to meet with Southern Star representatives to see if they were willing to agree to a payment for the first five years, then renegotiate a payment amount.
* Commissioners approved an agreement with United Way of Ellis County.
* Commissioners approved the Fixed Asset Management Policy.
* Commissioners heard a final report on the shooting range cleanup project.
* Commissioners approved a resolution designating the county administrator and county clerk as persons authorized to sign documents on behalf of Ellis County Rural Fire District No. 1 for the lease/purchase of two water tanker trucks.

TyOctober 1999 |
Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage
Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact
Being known isn't always such a great thing.
Having been a columnist for over two years now, I have gained a certain degree of name recognition around the world, both among my peers and with adults as well. I can't even try to speculate about why this is but I know it's true.
It's also difficult to deal with sometimes.
With name recognition comes the pressure to live up to expectations, and in my case, to make each column as good if not better than the one before it. To always set a good example, to do the right thing no matter what, to be all that is expected of me and more.
I have to say that it's flattering to have somebody take the time to write to me and offer compliments on what I have written, to ask for advice, or to even say that they feel or have felt the same way as me, which makes me feel as though I'm not alone in what I go through. I've been online and have had people tell me that they placed my screen name on their buddy list from the time I wrote my first column in hopes of having an opportunity to chat with me...which simply amazes me. It's these people who give me the encouragement I need to keep writing my columns, and without them I would have given up a long time ago.
On the flip side of this are the people who expect things out of me that I am not willing or able to provide, and when I don't give what is desired I become a target for their insults. Since my debut column appeared in June of 1997 I have had numerous requests for personal information such as where I live, what school I attend, my last name, and so on. I've had requests for not only normal pictures of me but for nude shots as well. One person even offered to mail me an instant camera and several packs of film so that my boyfriend and I could take nude pictures of each other and then mail back to him...as if we would actually even think about doing that in the first place. When I didn't reply to his first request he sent several others asking why I wouldn't do that for him? Some people never learn, do they?
Chat rooms are another territory where one never knows what they might step into. While I've had a number of great conversations in them and have met people I still keep in regular contact with, I've also had my share of unpleasant encounters. It seems than more than a fair share of young gays have the attitude that if you're not interested in cyber or phone sex then why are you even in a chat room? No nude self picture? Some people won't even talk to you unless you provide them with one.
Not exactly encouraging, is it?
With name recognition comes the risk of exposure, as I highlighted in my last issue's column, and as I recently encountered when a teacher at my school confronted me about my sexuality after he accidentally discovered that I write for Oasis. While both of these incidents ended up being positive experiences, maybe the next time it happens I won't be so lucky? Living in a homophobic town and going to a school where there's nothing worse than being gay are more than enough reasons for me to fear being outed.
My point in writing this column is to show that while being an Oasis columnist is an awesome experience, there is also another side to it. I'm not trying to scare anyone away from writing a column either, I just think you should know what can happen and that you'll take preventative measures if you decide to become a part of Oasis. Go ahead and write, just be careful.
While I always try to write to the best of my ability in each issue, I can only hope that you, my readers, will try to understand where I am coming from with whatever topic I take on and that you'll see me as I am.
Human just like you.
Ty is a fifteen-year-old who lives in a small suburb in the Midwest and will be a high school sophomore this coming fall. In his free time he likes to be with his family, play guitar in a heavy metal band, and ponder what his future will hold for him. He loves hearing from his readers, and be sure to say hello if you see him online.

She Has No Head! – The Return Of The Dapper Men Review
The Return Of The Dapper Men. Jim McCann (writer). Janet Lee (art). Dave Lanphear (letters). Todd Klein (designer). Archaia Comics. Hardcover. 128 pages, Full Color. $24.95.
I got The Return Of The Dapper Men in late November at a time when my life was exploding in chaos and commitments…but I opened it anyway (how could I resist?). The originality and dreamlike beauty of the pages instantly assaulted me and I turned page after page, reading bits here and there and being stunned into silence by such a visually rich and lyrical book sitting in front of me so unexpectedly.
With regret I put it away, knowing I didn't have time to give it the attention it deserved. Some six weeks later I sat down to read it again, but had thought about it numerous times – while working late, while writing other articles, while traveling across country, and while settling down to dream – something about it had rooted in my mind. Suffice to say that by the time I actually sat down to read it, it had a lot to live up to. I'm happy to report that it easily lived up to the expectations.

Crazy talk! I made this in a double batch last night and the cupcake recipe is perfect. I might mention here that I live in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, where the altitude is close to 6000 feet! I did doctor the icing a bit adding vanilla and powdered sugar to the whipped cream and using half a pint folded in. They turned out amazing! Big hit at the office and at home! :) MS recipes never miss!

The batter for the cupcake was good. It didn't have as much peanut butter flavor as one would think (I chose peanut butter instead of the natural due to wanting a more peanut butter taste). The frosting was too salty. I should have went with my gut and used a pinch of salt instead of what the recipe calls for.

Peanut Butter Cupcakes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup chunky or smooth peanut butter (I used Safeway brand)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup milk (I used fat-free)Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 muffin tin cups with paper cupcake liners.
for 20min
hanna317 9 Mar, 2013
My family and I were extremely disappointed in these cupcakes. They were really dry and tasted more like a corn muffin than pb cupcake. It was lacking the pb flavor. (I also made it with chocolate frosting, not pb frosting.) Do not cook this for the time suggested. It will burn. I will be looking elsewhere for the perfect pb cupcake (I do love pb!) and I suggest you do the same.
lilmamakel 20 Jun, 2012
I made this recipe today and it turned out awesome! The only change I made was omitting some of the peanut butter. I was weary after reading the reviews and also the large amount of baking powder but, everything turned out lovely! I would suggest for larger rounder cupcakes filling the liner slightly over 3/4 full.

I have tried this recipe 4 times without success. I have adjusted everything I can think of for high altitude.They continue to crater.The batter tastes great, the finished product leave everything to be desired. any suggestions?

I made these with the recipe found in her Cupcake Cookbook. I found them to be a little bit too much of a good thing (VERY peanut butter-y), but my boyfriend LOVED them, especially the frosting. If you have peanut butter lovers in your life make these cupcakes for them. They'll love you for it!
zingara3834 21 Nov, 2010
I think the 3/4 tablespoon baking powder is a typo. I've made these cupcakes several times using the 3/4 tablespoon of baking powder and I've never gotten a nice humped cupcakes. Most have sunk or were flat. I just bought Martha Stewart's Cupcake Cookbook and for this recipes, it says to add 3/4 teaspoon baking powder. Too much or too little baking powder can cause your cupcakes to not rise appropriately. I would recommend changing the amount of baking powder to 3/4 teaspoon.
ashpalermo 20 Aug, 2010
I only used the peanut butter frosting from this recipe and paired it with Martha's One bowl chocolate cupcake. I used 1/4 tsp salt instead of 1/2 tsp because I was worried about it being too salty. That worked for me. I agree with jennifereng1980, though, that it has a strange aftertaste, like a tickle in the back of my throat.
redmoonx81 7 Jun, 2010
I liked the cupcakes but agree with others who said the frosting was a bit weird, mine were a bit too salty.
Also I had to bake my cupcakes for 25-30 minutes before they were ready.
peajayjones 24 May, 2010
I made these today and they taste fantastic. Instead of the frosting they suggest, I used Nutella mixed with Buttercream to make it taste a little like a Reece's Peanut Butter Cup. Sooooo good!
failedcase 26 Oct, 2009
fantasticcccccccccccccccccccccc ..thank you for recipe
ewaali 19 Feb, 2009
You probably kept it too short in the oven. The cupcakes are ready when they start to crack on top. And don't open the oven at all for the first 15 minutes.
zingara3834 14 Feb, 2009
I made these cupcakes and they all sank in the middle. I followed the recipe exactly. Is the 3/4 tablespoon baking powder a typo?
jennifereng1980 1 Feb, 2009
I agree regarding the frosting. Mind you, this might be due to the fact that I used low-fat cream cheese. It had a funny after taste. The cake part is delicious though. Made way more than 18 - a 12 cupcake tin and a 24 mini cupcake tin.
Iola 24 Jan, 2009
Everyone liked the cupcakes but we liked them better without the frosting. I baked some of the batter in the very small muffin tins (28 to a pan) - these were perfect small treats.

Demi Cup Bras
The Demi Bra is cut straight across the body, covering half of the bust and shelving the breasts. Demi literally means "half" in French, and Demi Bras represent this concept well; a Demi Bra is cut lower than a Full Cup, but provides more coverage than a Balconnet. Demi bras have wide set straps and are typically cut at a slight angle to enhance presentation and create an open neckline.

My pumpkin beer has been in the secondary for a week and a half. It's my first time using a carboy (better bottle to be more specific), and for some reason last night I started worrying about the stopper forming a good enough seal. I'm sure it's fine...just curious if oxidation has any visible signs?
No visible signs that I know of. Don't worry about it...chances are very slim that you have oxygen leaking in. Even if you did, there's enough gases inside to push it out that it wouldn't matter.
a bad seal on a stopper would not cause oxidation. CO2 is heavier than air and will form a protective blanket on top of your beer that will not be penetrated by the air. Oxidation does have a visible sign of sorts. It is a picture of a really nervous newbie who keeps playing with his beer until his fidgeting around with it causes air to mix in with the beer. It is rare but much more prevalent among NERVOUS NEWBS.
It'll be fine, the beer will still have enogh CO2 blanket to protect it. If the temperature drops, then it may create a vacuum and start sucking the airlock water back in the beer. I have this problem in the cellar when we go from summer to winter. No visual signs of oxidation that I know of, but I've NEVER had an oxidation problem.
Hahah....I don't fidget with it even though I want to. My beer is in a fermentation chamber built out of a wine fridge....it has a glass door so I can see what's going on without ever opening it. It's basically been at a constant 68 degrees since brew day. Building that was the single best thing I've done so far...it's nice not having to worry much about regulating temperature!

Security Spending Primer: Getting Smart About The Pentagon Budget
September 24, 2009
Security Spending Primer:
Getting Smart About The Pentagon Budget
How do people influence federal spending decisions and
stop fighting over smaller and smaller "slices of the budgetary pie"?
What will make our nation more secure?
National Priorities Project is proud to release the Security Spending Primer: Getting Smart About The Pentagon Budget. (PDF Document)
This Primer is a is a "one-stop-shopping" resource and has two main goals:
- to provide comprehensive, easy-to-understand information on the complexity of the federal budget process; and
- to help build the capacity of people across the United States who want their voices and their priorities to be heard in the debate over federal spending in general and military spending in particular.
Even though federal spending and policy priorities have an enormous impact on individual lives, the budgeting and policy-making process remains mysterious to most Americans. NPP believes that good, concrete information strengthens social change work. In order to make our federal government more accountable, people – especially those most affected by social inequities – must play a central role in identifying the changes essential to creating better lives for themselves and future generations. They must have access to accurate information that supports effective strategies.
The Primer answers the most frequently asked questions about, and supplies the most commonly requested information on, the Pentagon budget and U.S. military spending and is based on decades of experience in military budget analysis.
It contains 16 two-page fact sheets on topics ranging from nuclear weapons to the employment impact of U.S. military and domestic spending choices to the military cost of securing energy. We designed these fact sheets to be read separately or as a group. We have also included a host of resources: organizational contact lists, sample NPP tools, resources lists, a glossary and more.
Key findings in the primer include:
- Total spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will exceed $1 trillion February/March 2010.
- From FY 2001 to FY 2008, federal grants to state and local governments increased 0.57% for every 1% increase in total federal budget authority. Yet, during the same period, federal military expenditures increased 1.47% for every 1% in total federal budget authority. In other words, as the "budgetary pie" increased, the defense slice got bigger and fatter and the "grants to the states" slice of the pie got smaller .
- Even without including current war allocations, U.S. military spending is at its highest level since World War II. This takes into account the war-time budgets of Vietnam and Korea.
- Despite rhetoric to the contrary, the Obama Administration is not cutting defense. In fact, the Pentagon budget is projected to grow25% over the next decade.
- This is an unprecedented period in our nation's history. Two wars, staggering national debt, the economic crisis and an impending climate crisis make these extremely challenging times. At the same time, President Obama endeavors to respond to the sweeping mandate for change.

National Priorities Project
Report shows gap in Army's 2008 recruitment quantity and quality goals

On the heels of the U.S. Army's announced goal of 65,000 additional recruits National Priorities Project (NPP) finds significant gap in Army's 2008 quantity and quality goals
Online Tool Allows the Public to Analyze Army Data by State, County, Zip Code, Education Level, "Quality of Recruit"
NORTHAMPTON, MA – A new NPP analysis highlights a significant gap in the Army's 2008 quantity and quality goals. Using census material, combined with data on 2008 Army enlistment obtained through a Freedom of Information Act, NPP research also uncovers a continued trend of disproportionate recruits from southern states.
This work is a result of an expanded NPP initiative, which now includes a database of 2004-2008 military recruitment numbers broken down by zip code, county and state. A snapshot analysis and overview of current military recruitment data, which includes a ranking of counties by recruits per thousand youth, charts and tables on a particular county, zip code or state is available at www.nationalpriorities.org.
"Analysts project a $60 billion increase in the 2010 defense budget, largely tied to increasing troop levels. This increase does not include a six month supplemental funding request to pay for the US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, which is expected to approach, if not exceed $70 billion," notes Suzanne Smith, Research Director for National Priorities Project. "These budget figures, combined with a call for increased troop numbers, are striking in light of a report recently issued by a Pentagon advisory group which noted that 'rising costs of military personnel, their healthcare and overhead' exacerbated the problem of an 'unsustainable' Defense Department budget in tough economic times."
NPP's new data shows:
While the army claims 80,517 new army recruits this year, surpassing its goal of 80,000, in actuality, its figures reflect the number of individuals with whom they have some form of – often non-binding – contract. The number of accessions, or actual recruits who reported for duty in 2008, was 69,357.
The percent of Tier 1 recruits, at 74% is 16 percentage points below the army's goal of 90%. This is the fourth year running that the army has missed its "quality" goal.
The highest recruitment rates – defined as the number of recruits per thousand of 15-24 year-old population – were found in the south with Texas, Florida and Georgia ranking in the top five states.
Jo Comerford, NPP's Executive Director adds, "Four years of missed recruiting quantity and quality goals, combined with dramatic increases in the recruitment budget, raise important questions which must be tackled. Not only are education rates down but evidence shows increases in physical and felony waivers, the latter having doubled from 2006 to 2007. It stands to reason that we must ask whether the Army has exhausted its potential supply of new quality recruits. Its announced intent to increase its base by 65,000 additional recruits, should signal a clarion call for a new look at the realities of an ever-expanding military. A new approach to national security is what is needed. Clearly, we are being called to a new strategy – for this new day."

MSI's 3.5G Wind 120 coming in November, offer subsidized by Taiwanese Telecom
MSI's Wind 120 might come sooner than we expected, and Taiwan leads the way with 3G bundling.
We had gotten word previously that MSI's follow-up to the Wind 100--the 120--would likely hit the streets this December . According to Digitimes, though, we won't have to wait that long. In fact, the 3.5G-sporting Netbook should be available sometime next month. The specs are fairly impressive, running Windows XP on Intel's Atom N270 processor with 1GB of RAM.
With its 8.9-inch screen, this ultraportable is inviting with its estimated street price of $552, but that price could come down if the manufacturer squares deals with American 3G network operators like AT&T or T-Mobile, both of which use the same 3G technology as Taiwan's Vibo Telecom, the first carrier to subsidize the Netbook.
We aren't expecting deals like that until next year at the earliest, though, if they come at all, but as carriers are looking for new ways to lock us into long term contracts, fancy hardware is an appealing way to go.

Helen Frankenthaler is internationally recognized as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. She was a key proponent of the Abstract Expressionist movement, and was pivotal in the shift that saw New York become the new centre of the art world.
Her innovative techniques had an immense influence on the contemporary art world, and her work is currently amongst the most coveted by collectors around the world.Frankenthaler's work can be found in nearly every major museum collection in the world, including at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., and the Guggenheim, Berlin. She has also been the subject of two important retrospectives at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1969 and New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1989.
At a time when the majority of the art world was still male dominated, Frankenthaler not only participated, but in most cases led the way. She was the first to use the method of pouring paint directly onto raw unprimed canvas. This new technique known as "soak stain" virtually fused the figure and background together, as the diluted paint would be immediately absorbed by the canvas. She pushed this approach to its full potential, experimenting with dilution and soaking techniques to create spontaneous complex forms bursting with life and immediacy. Her methods and designs influenced her contemporaries including Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, as well as countless other artists to this day. She continues to be recognized around the world as one of the premier American painters of the twentieth century.

Prague - A total of 39 entities have filed their lists of candidates for the May 23-24 European Parliament (EP) elections by the deadline at 16:00 CET today, which is six more than five years ago, Interior Ministry spokesman Vladimir Repka has told CTK.
Repka did not rule out the possibility that the number may rise. Some nominations may be hidden among the big quantity of documents that are daily delivered to the ministry´s post room, he added.
He said the ministry will publish a list of the running parties, movements and coalitions immediately after they are arranged in alphabetical order.
All seven parties and movements represented in parliament said they would be running in the EP elections.

Will Hamlin Interview, 1995
Will Hamlin Interview, 1995
Goddard Videos
Will Hamlin taught at Goddard from 1948 to 2001. He cared deeply about literature, art, education and the natural world, and served Goddard for fifty years in his renaissance fashion. He was passionate about education and the philosophy of education. Versed in Dewey, Kilpatrick and other luminaries of the progressive education movement, he worked to realize their ideas at Goddard with the students he mentored and taught, as well as other faculty and staff. For decades, he worked as the College's editor, writing and editing the catalogue, the Goddard Bulletin, and other publications. Will loved language, and tended to its details and precise usage. He crafted the ideas of Tim Pitkin and his other colleagues into articulate prose that represented their vision in the larger world. When focus at the College sometimes drifted from the ideals of progressive education, Will reminded his colleagues and students – sometimes none too gently – of the importance of Goddard's mission, and its stewardship of larger principles. We are grateful for his lasting contributions to the College. Will passed away on August 4th, 2009.
