- Got A Question?
Editor's Note: This article is taken from the April 2009 issue of Professional Carwashing & Detailing®. If you would like to submit an article or topic idea for the Management Tip of the Week, please e-mail Editor Kate Carr.
Some auto detail business owners tell me their job is to service the car. Others tell me they're more concerned with the customer, not the vehicle. In other words, "Fix the customer, not the car."
Think about it: How often have you been disappointed with the service received at a business? Good businesses, I have found, work very hard to establish a warm relationship with the customer. As one business owner told me, "I have to see the customer before I see the car."
Outclass the competition
The death knell for any detail business is poor customer service. If you expect to outdo your competition, you better plan on outclassing them with top service.
How do you know if you're connecting with your customers? Well, several key determining factors of great customer service include:
Having all of these issues under control provides your customers with a compelling reason to return on a regular basis and not look elsewhere for detail services.
A common complaint
Customers fundamentally have several problems with automotive service.
First, the owner often speaks in technical terms that are a foreign language to the average person. Automotive service in general has always been a puzzle for most customers; this has grown worse in the 21st century.
As you describe the complexity of what will have to be done to the vehicle the customer's mind begins to drift back to their old VCR perpetually flashing 12:00.
The best way to talk to the customer is in a manner that they can understand and appreciate. If they don't get that feeling from you, they will keep shopping until they find a detailer that provides this comfort level.
Ultimately, a customer must take your word for what should be done to the vehicle. The customer has some sense of feeling at home with you. Remember, comfort precedes trust.
Treat a customer like a houseguest
Along with not understanding the service needs of their vehicle, customers also are generally uncomfortable in a detail and repair shops. Oftentimes these businesses present a bare-minimum waiting room and a whole lot of testosterone in the shop.
Think of your favorite business; they never treat you as though you are only there for a price. First, they always ask you how you are, and then offer you coffee of some other beverage to relax. Maybe they have wireless internet in a classy waiting room if you need to catch up while waiting for your vehicle.
Consider your customer's comfort throughout the sales and service process. Create a written plan for employees so they understand the way you want your customers to be greeted and treated during the sale and afterwards.
For instance, should your cashier offer the customer coffee or walk them to the waiting area? Do you want the technician to explain the detail service to the customer or would you rather have a dedicated sales person perform this task? Your employees will benefit from understanding what is expected from them and you can maintain your standards of customer service in each and every sale.
Keep score(cards)
Just when you think it can't get any more comprehensive, now detail shops can present customers with a vehicle's "scorecard." This data reveals:
People don't like to be sold something they don't need; seeing that it's not all due today is refreshing. They put their shields down and really get behind this process; this is not at all like the game some other detailers play with their wallets. It builds trust that you aren't just trying to grab everything you can today, and you must be very confident that customers will be very content to keep returning for all of these scheduled visits.
This approach also encourages customers to think more about getting all of their detailing services done at your shop — because it eliminates the mystery making them feel confident in the vehicle sense. This translates into increased loyalty from customers, and today, that's the name of the game; loyal customers.
More detailers need to capitalize on this relationship building opportunity. Today's customer wants convenience and peace of mind in the least amount of time. This approach can be a logical extension of shop management and the perfect differentiation to keep customers loyal to your business.

Hagel: Budget cuts could harm nation's defense
Wednesday - 7/31/2013, 8:28pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel warned Wednesday that the Pentagon may have to mothball up to three Navy aircraft carriers and order additional sharp reductions in the size of the Army and Marine Corps if Congress doesn't act to avoid massive budget cuts beginning in 2014.
Speaking to Pentagon reporters, and indirectly to Congress, Hagel said that the full result of the sweeping budget cuts over the next 10 years could leave the nation with an ill-prepared, under-equipped military doomed to face more technologically advanced enemies.
In his starkest terms to date, Hagel laid out a worst-case scenario for the U.S. military if the Pentagon is forced to slash more than $50 billion from the 2014 budget and $500 billion over the next 10 years as a result of Congressionally-mandated automatic spending cuts.
The Pentagon has been ratcheting up a persistent drumbeat about the dire effects of the budget cuts on national defense, and as Congress continues to wrangle over spending bills on Capitol Hill.
But Hagel insisted that the department is not exaggerating the impact.
"I know there's politics in all this," Hagel said. "But what we're trying to project here is not crying wolf or not trying to overstate or overhype."
Sitting alongside Hagel, Navy Adm. James Winnefeld, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs, said a major frustration is that the Pentagon doesn't know what budget totals Congress will eventually decide on, or when lawmakers will make a decision.
"What we were doing here is teeing up choices. We haven't made those choices yet," said Winnefeld. "When we finally get an answer on what the financial outlook is going to look like, we will then begin to make those choices."
Going from 11 to eight or nine carrier strike groups would bring the Navy to its lowest number since World War II. And the troop cuts could shear the Army back to levels not seen since 1940, eroding the military's ability to keep forces deployed and combat ready overseas.
Detailing options, Hagel said America may have to choose between having a highly capable but significantly smaller military and having a larger force while reducing special operations forces, limiting research and cutting or curtailing plans to upgrade weapons systems.
That second option, he said, would likely result in the U.S. military using older, less effective equipment against more technologically advanced adversaries. And it would have a greater impact on private defense companies around the country.
The U.S., said Hagel, risks fielding a military force that in the next few years would be unprepared due to a lack of training, maintenance and upgraded equipment.
And, even if the Pentagon chooses the most dramatic cuts, Hagel said it would still "fall well short" of meeting the reductions required by the automatic budget cuts, particularly during the first five years.
While noting that no final decisions have been made, Hagel laid out a few specific ideas under consideration.
He said that to achieve the savings by shrinking the force, the Pentagon might have to cut more than 100,000 additional soldiers from the Army -- which is already planning to go from a wartime high of about 570,000 to 490,000 by 2017. And the current plan to reduce the size of the Marine Corp to 182,000 from a high of about 205,000 could also be changed -- cutting it to as few as 150,000 Marines.
He added that the Air Force could lose as many as five combat air squadrons as well as a number of other bomber and cargo aircraft.
"This strategic choice would result in a force that would be technologically dominant, but would be much smaller and able to go fewer places and do fewer things, especially if crises occurred at the same time in different regions of the world," said Hagel.
Another option, he said, would be to make fewer cuts in the size of the force, and instead cancel or curtail many modernization programs.
In addition he said that the Pentagon is taking a close look at cuts to health care benefits, military housing allowances, cost-of-living adjustments and civilian pay raises.
Hagel repeated his plans -- announced two weeks ago -- to cut top Pentagon and military staff and spending by 20 percent. The savings, which will apply to his office, that of the Joint Chief's chairman and also the Pentagon headquarters offices of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps., could total between $1.5 billion and $2 billion over the next five years and will target personnel, including civilians and contractors.

don't fly but 1-2x/year so i experience the "average joe" flight. first, it's irritating that they weigh the luggage but not the person. we had to reshuffle 3 lbs. from checked bag to carry-on. really? does moving 3lbs. from the gut of the plane to the overhead compartment really equal $90 value?? arrived early for return flight and could take an earlier flight. there were empty seats, no standbys and yet it would be $100 to change flights. how does that make sense?? they skies aren't as friendly as they used to be!

FREE consultation!
At Norman Taylor & Associates, a Professional Law Corporation, our main objective is to assist individuals who have purchased or leased a defective automobile, also known as a lemon. In the state of California, laws have been set in place to protect consumers who purchase new and used vehicles. Car dealers are now required to disclose even more information than ever concerning vehicles they sell to customers who are car shopping. Despite these tougher laws signed into existence by Governor Jerry Brown in 2012, car dealers are still failing to comply with an already heavily regulated area resulting many times in selling or leasing lemons to consumers.
If you or a loved one brought home a lemon, our California lemon law lawyers can help you pursue a refund.
Our goal is to help clients obtain refunds or replacements for their lemon vehicles as soon as possible. Litigation will be pursued only when necessary. Where feasible we will attempt to negotiate a settlement with the manufacturer or car dealer prior to taking aggressive legal actions. With a wide range of experience and with various manufacturers, we can assess the best strategy to employ in each case. This works to our clients benefit and can lead to an earlier resolution than what may be possible with a firm that does not have the years of experience that we have.
Attorneys Norman F. Taylor and John Ciccarelli each have more than 25 years of experience handling consumer law violations. We have
handled more than 10,000 cases in California since 1987. In addition, we have
forced more than $100 million in refunds within the scope of our legal work. Our influence within the community is a reflection of our legal strengths and service. Attorney Norman Taylor has helped mainstream consumer advocacy groups propose and secure amendments to California's lemon law. We have seen motor vehicle manufacturers reform their policies and improve their practices as a result.
Norman Taylor & Associates offers strong legal help based on the guidance of our California lemon law attorneys. Our legal team is indigenous to California, and therefore, we offer local assistance and representation and we understand the communities in which we work. We can stand up to large corporations on your behalf. Using our knowledge of lemon law and consumers' rights, we can protect your interests when pursuing a refund or replacement with no unwarranted deductions. Often times, consumers who are unrepresented do not fully understand their rights and, as a result, do not obtain the full refund they deserve.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to speak with our firm and receive the guidance you need. We can debunk major lemon law myths and help you understand the
common vehicle defects associated with lemons.
We wrote the book, Lemon Law -The Standard Reference Guide, which offers solid information on California lemon laws. We encourage you to get the information you need from our firm before proceeding with your case.
No matter what the case involves, our philosophy is to take an approach that reflects the best interest of the client and that is based on his or her needs. Not all lemons are the same, so no two cases are the same. Typically, however, a speedy resolution is the most important aspect of a client's case. We handle a wide range of circumstances, including auto recalls and
breach of warranty cases.
Our firm understands the needs of clients and how to resolve the situation at hand. Whether you purchased a new or used car, we can determine the best course of action for you to take if your
vehicle qualifies as a lemon. Our firm offers you a
free case evaluation to help you gain a clear perspective of your case.
Contact us today at 888-449-7639 to begin pursuing a refund or replacement.

Barton Controls Rebounding Margin in 86-74 Win over Lady Falcons; Cox Drains Game-High 34
January 18, 2012
Courtesy of Barton Sports Information
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Barton College closed its Conference Carolinas clash at Pfeiffer University on a 23-11 run to rally for an 86-74 womens basketball victory on Wednesday evening in Merner Gym. Junior guard Brittany Cox scored a game-high 34 points including six bombs from behind the arc.
Junior guard Faith Hunter scored a team-high 23 points, junior forward Shante Neal just missed her second straight doube-double with 20 points and nine rebounds, and sophomore Nyeshea Willie bucketed 19 points as Barton rose to 10-5 overall and 5-1 in the league. Hunter and Willie pulled down seven boards and Hunter swatted a game-high four blocks. The Lady Falcons connected on 11 three-pointers but were outrebounded by 19 (50-31) to fall to 8-7 and 3-3.
After a Cox free throw provided Pfeiffer its only lead of the first half at 1-0, Barton scored the games first four baskets to jump out to a quick 8-1 lead.
The Lady Bulldog defense held the Falcons without a field goal for the first six minutes to build up an early 10-2 advantage before freshman Haley Grimsley finally scored the hosts first hoop on the teams 10th shot attempt at the 13:59 mark.
A Grimsley trey pulled Pfeiffer to within three at 12-9 before Barton pulled out to its first double digit lead with the next eight points. A junior Jolanda Mitchell fastbreak layup capped the run as the Bulldogs led 20-9.
A Jadda Jefferies three-pointer extended the Bulldogs advantage to 14 (31-17) before the Falcons closed the half with a 9-4 run to narrow the halftime deficit to nine at 35-26. Cox kept the Falcons in striking distance with over half the squads points at 14.
Neal and Hunter, who missed the last four games due to a concussion, led Barton into locker room with 10 and nine points, respectively. Neal and Willie helped BC dominate the first half backboards, 30-19, with six rebounds apiece.
The Lady Falcons used the three-ball to rally back to start the second half. A pair of canned three-pointers by Falcon sharpshooters junior Kellie Rhoney and freshman Jodie Lemons in the first 90 seconds started the Pfeiffer comeback.
Cox closed out the 13-4 second half start by the Falcons with the final five points to deadlock the score for the first time at 39-39.
Barton continued to cling to a slim lead until Pfeiffer made its eighth 3-pointer with 14:01 left off the hand of Lemons put the Falcons ahead for the first time since 1-0 at 46-45. The game stayed close for the next eight minutes with Pfeiffer taking its largest lead at 58-53 on another trifecta by Cox at the 9:39 mark.
The Bulldogs trailed 65-63 with six and a half minutes left before racing ahead with a game-changing, 10-nil outburst that was highlighted by a Willie trey and a Hunter three-point play. Barton maintained at least a three-possession lead for the final four minutes.
Both teams shot 41.5% from the floor. Pfeiffer sizzled the nets from long range going 11-of-26 (42.3%) from deep compared to just 4-of-13 (30.8%) by Barton but the Lady Bulldogs took advantage of 21 more free throw attempts. BC canned 28-of-33 (84.8%) from the charity stripe in comparison to 9-of-12 (75%) by the Falcons.
Mitchell finished with 10 points and senior Jannetta Robinson tallied eight as Bartons starting five scored 80 of the teams 86 points. Robinson snatched a game-high 10 rebounds and dished out a team-high four assists. Lemons totaled 11 points for Pfeiffer. Rhoney flirted with a double-double with nine points and a game-high nine assists.

text: We got a new humidifier and it's totally a penguin that barfs mist. It's meant to be for kids (there's a whole line of different animals), but this is also a well-priced ultrasonic humidifier, which means a minimum of cleaning and noise. I guess I accidentally turned this into a commercial, but anyway - I recommend it if you need one. Moving on!

What will it take to win our A-tier? Someone may shoot 4 really good rounds, but what will be good enough to BEAT 2nd PLACE?
My Guess...
Round 1 Fun Farm 18 holes: 47
Round 2 Fun Farm 18 holes: 46
Round 3 CV 18 holes: 48
Round 4 CV 18 holes: 47
TOTAL.........................188 strokes
Someone might score better than this, but I think this would beat 2nd place, and win.

Where Mold Grows in Houses
Porous materials, like wood, carpet, padding and drywall absorb and retain a surprising amount of water. Unchecked, fungal growth can occur within a few days of a moisture event. According to the Center for Disease Control "recent research indicates that common construction materials may contain mold spores when they arrive from distributors and that some of the spores will germinate if exposed to relative humidity (RH) of 95 percent for extended periods (22-60 days); if they are wetted with water, germination can occur in less than 5 days."
Molds are fungi that are lurk indoors and outdoors, just about everywhere. Know to sicken people or aggravate existing illnesses such as allergies and asthma, mold poses a significant health risk.

If New Balance and Vibram teamed up to make a casual walking shoe, it would probably look something like this. I am skeptical about the health benefits of a Vibram sole after Vibram's settlement in their recent class action, yet their shoes are friggin comfortable. Further, researchers still argue that barefoot running is part of a paleo lifestyle.
Got these because I waned a pair of approach shoes that has a good grip and feels light on my foot. These worked perfect for just that. They hug my feet softly, and the grip has yet to fail me.
These are my every-day shoe; my pair is over two years old and holding up well. The full lace means they fit my weird feet quite comfortably and they're solid enough for moderate approach yet pretty/handsome enough for looking moderately pretty/handsome. The original insert was a tad flimsy though, but I swapped out for something a little beefier/supportive and it's been smooth sailing.
These have become my favorite pair of sport/casual shoes evar! First off, love me some blue suede. What up Dr. Jacoby and Elvis? These are really attractive. The soles are super grippy which makes them great as approach shoes. The sole, foot bed design, and overall fit-like-a-glove feel really inspires confidence when scrambling, traversing, ect. Heck, if you size these tight you could even use these sport climbing. They're very light weight as well. The lace to the toe design makes it super easy to get a perfect fit and I've found my feet feeling extremely stable when it counts. The foot bed has plenty of cushioning in the heal and mid, but very little toward the front third of the shoe, allowing me to have a good feel of the surface I'm walking on. This is great for more technical manuvers, but makes them less than ideal for week long hikes with a fairly heavy pack. Overall, great shoes. I've got two pairs.
This is my fourth pair of Scarpas (Zen, Ego, SL M3) and they are fantastic. Light enough to be sneakers, sole enough for any walk, and super stylin'. I recommend these for all my friends...ok...my enemies too, but they would never take my word for it. These are speedy but European-made and Scarpas last a long time so I think a great value.
Kinda like blue running shoes that grip everything in sight and look good if you're the kind of person who doesn't care too much about wearing blue running shoes to work.I originally got them to bicycle to work in. They are grippy on my platform pedals, and narrow so they don't bump things like my front wheel or the cranks. I eventually wore them on a trip to Joshua Tree and they were superb approach shoes. They weren't as sticky as climbing shoes, but pretty close.I don't remember how much these cost, but I'd probably buy them or another Scarpa again.
These are great all-around shoes. Possibly the most comfortable shoe that I've ever had. It's not super cushy but offers the perfect balance between softness and support/stability that just make them amazing to walk around in. They're so nice that I don't know if I'll take them out in the slush that we have here but they're wonderful as an alternative to a sneaker around town and the aggressive sole is good for camping. They're true to size. I got the blue ones and they're not as fluorescent looking as they are on my monitor, which I like.

In my Feb. 6 column, I stated in a couple of weeks I would highlight some of the activity going on in our North Carolina Legislature. I will do that, but first I want to (hopefully) evoke a little laughter with a few "play-on-words" observations.
Here are a few:
- A great name for a new country song: "If I had shot you sooner, I'd be out of jail by now"
- Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes
- It's always darkest before the dawn, so if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it
- He who believes the past cannot be changed has not yet written his memoirs
- May those who love us, love us, and those who don't love us, may God turn their hearts, and if He cannot turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles, so that we may know them by their limping
Now for some highlights of things happening in Raleigh:
- Voter ID: A bill now being enacted will establish a photo ID requirement to vote in North Carolina. This legislation has some real teeth in it and will require voters to show an ID, such as a driver's license or other comparable documents.
Two of our representatives from this area, N.C. Sen. Louis Pate and N.C. Rep. John Bell, among others, are strong proponents of this bill. It will pass easily and will be signed into law by Gov. Pat McCrory.
- Unemployment insurance: This legislation will reduce the maximum number of weeks unemployed workers can receive benefits from the current 26 weeks to 20 weeks, and will reduce the maximum weekly unemployment benefit from $535 to $350.
This will help pay back the $2.5 billion debt our state got into when it borrowed money from the federal government to pay unemployment benefits in the recent past. This bill will become effective for claims filed after July 1 of this year and will not affect the benefits of any workers currently receiving unemployment benefits.
- Expanding Medicaid as called for by Obamacare: A ruling last year by the U.S. Supreme Court gave states the option of opting out of this plan.
North Carolina has now joined some 19 other states such as Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Michigan, Arizona and Ohio in rejecting this expansion, maintaining it is filled with waste and fraud and is an ineffective way to provide health care. Medicaid in North Carolina already accounts for 15 percent of the General Fund and is the fastest growing part of the budget.
- Producing natural gas: This is a very important part of legislative activity and regulations are now being enacted to produce natural gas with hydraulic fracking.
We will be discussing other legislation in the future, such as expanding school choice, lessening government regulations, reforming our tax system and rebuilding and protecting our infrastructure.
One thing is sure: whatever governmental activity that takes place, at least in the near future, will bear the Republican brand throughout the state.
Just look at the situation: Republicans, for the first time since the 19th century, hold a majority of seats on county commissions in the state; have a 33-17 advantage of N.C. Senate seats and a 77-43 majority in the House; hold the governor and lieutenant governor seats; and a 9-4 advantage of U.S. House seats.
The ball is definitely in the GOP's court to enact legislation that will be to the benefit of all us in the great state of North Carolina. May God give them wisdom!

HOUSTON – September 19, 2012 – Alberta Martin, a CenterPoint Energy business process representative and Little Rock, Ark. resident, was recently honored as an outstanding volunteer finalist at the annual Jefferson Awards national ceremony.
The Jefferson Awards are a prestigious national recognition system honoring community and public service in America, presented on both a national and local level. Martin has volunteered in a number of ways in the Little Rock community, through both personal commitments and at CenterPoint Energy-sponsored community activities.
"What I like most about volunteering is knowing that I have inspired someone to begin to have a better life in some small way," said Martin. "I see my volunteer services as an investment in the lives of young people, the community and society as a whole."
Martin's passion lies in working with young students to help them obtain the resources needed to pursue a college education. Through her church, she started a computer lab and mentoring program. She also has provided about $4,000 in "Book Awards" through CenterPoint Energy GIVE (Grant Incentives for Volunteer Employees) grants and helped purchase school uniforms for students in need. In all, she has written proposals and grants for more than $10,000 to help students from disadvantaged communities pursue higher education.
Volunteering over the years fueled Martin's ambition to earn a Master of Science degree in Behavior Human Service Counseling in 2011. She hopes to form a nonprofit organization to help guide young people and their parents toward resources for a college education.
"Last year, CenterPoint Energy employees and retirees, along with family and friends, amassed a staggering 235,847 volunteer hours," said Diane Hasell, Community Relations senior director for CenterPoint Energy. "We're extremely proud to have generous and compassionate employees like Alberta who are so willing to serve in their local communities."
CenterPoint Energy, Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a domestic energy delivery company that includes electric transmission & distribution, natural gas distribution, competitive natural gas sales and services, interstate pipelines, and field services operations. The company serves more than five million metered customers primarily in Arkansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas. Assets total more than $22 billion. With over 8,800 employees, CenterPoint Energy and its predecessor companies have been in business for more than 135 years.

GasBuddy Blog
The AP is reporting that Hyundai and Kia overstated the gas mileage on most of their models from the past three years in an embarrassing blunder that could bring sanctions from the U.S. government and millions of dollars in payments to car owners.To be perfectly candid, I'm one of those car owners who've been duped. When my wife & I saw highway mileage at "40 mpg" that's one of the key reasons why we bought our Hyundai Elantra. Because of the inflated mileage, discovered during an audit by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Korean automakers must retrofit the window stickers on the cars, reducing their fuel economy figures by one-to-six miles per gallon depending on the model, the agency said.

GARETH DUNCAN writes the Waratahs slumped to their third defeat of the season as they were edged 21-20 by the Force in Sydney.
The Waratahs have suffered their worst Super Rugby start since 1997 as they've only won one match out of their four fixtures so far. Considered as one of the powerhouses in the Australian conference, they were expected to beat the bumbling Force at home, especially considering the latter's poor form which has seen them endure a three-match losing streak.
However, an impressive turnout from the Perth team led to the shock result. The Waratahs seemed capable of closing out the game as they built good momentum and held a 20-16 lead in the final quarter. Just when the Force seemed like they had nothing left in their fight, wing Samu Wara displayed great finishing to score the match-winning try 15 minutes from time.
The Force were the better team in the first half, as their dominance in the forwards battle helped them boss possession. After Adam Ashley-Cooper's try via a rolling maul in the opening minutes, the Force spent most of the first 40 in the Waratahs' territory. Although they lacked that clinical edge in the red zone, fullback David Harvey capitalised on the Force's ascendancy and scored 10 points in the first quarter.
The former sevens specialist opened his team's tally with a three-pointer before the Waratahs were reduced to 14 men when lock Dean Mumm was yellow carded for a professional foul. From the resulting penalty, which was kicked to touch, Harvey finished off a smart move in midfield and added the conversion.
The hosts regained the lead when wing Tom Kingston crossed the chalk against the run of play (the Waratahs only had 20% of possession during this period), after Sarel Pretorius's tackle on opposite number Brett Sheen created a counter attack. Although the ball was knocked forward by the South African No 9, play continued and Pretorius' hack into space set up Kingston in the corner. Harvey kicked his second penalty for the final action before the break, seeing the half-time score read 14-13 in the Waratahs' favour.
It was a close contest in the second stanza, with Harvey and Halangahu trading penalties to see the lead change twice. Eventually, Wara's score gave the Force the advantage. The visitors then camped in the Waratahs' half at the death, and they held on for victory.

A heartening advance
Henrico Doctors' Hospital physician Charles Zacharias shows a patient video of the patient's own heart, as seen during an earlier procedure conducted as part of the hospital's TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) program. HCA Virginia is the only hospital in the region to offer the minimally-invasive, non-surgical procedure, which provides a therapeutic alternative for patients with severe aortic stenosis who have previously been deemed inoperable.
The hospital hosted an open house Sept. 5 to demonstrate the procedure, which has already been used on five patients who otherwise could not have received the life-saving assistance they needed.

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

Local officials lauded the efforts Tuesday of those in Graham, Mebane, and
City councils in Mebane and Graham approved economic incentive agreements with Wal-Mart on Monday, paving the way for the company to construct a 450,000-square-foot distribution center on a 186-acre site.
"I am excited and very proud of the team that worked for 18
Wal-Mart had considered at least three other potential sites in
A lot of work remains to be completed by Graham and Mebane to make the site ready for Wal-Mart's use, he said.
As part of the project, the state Department of Transportation will construct a new road costing $2 million to be completed by March 2015 from
As part of the agreement, Graham and Mebane will provide Wal-Mart with transitional office and storage space before the center opens. Wal-Mart is scheduled to begin construction on the new distribution center in spring 2015 and open the center for business in early summer or late fall of 2016.
Under the agreement, Graham and Mebane will purchase land to be conveyed to Wal-Mart. The estimated value of the 186 acres privately owned is $4,339,000.
Graham and Mebane will borrow $4.7 million to be used toward paying for the cost to install water and sewer infrastructure. The total costs to install the water and sewer infrastructure will be $5.6 million. A $900,000 Golden Leaf grant will be used to offset the cost to install the water and sewer infrastructure.
THE DISTRIBUTION CENTER project was made possible in part by a performance-based grant from One North Carolina Fund of up to $1,100,000. The fund provides financial assistance, through local governments, to attract business projects that will stimulate economic activity and create new jobs in the state. Companies receive no money up front and must meet job creation and investment performance standards to qualify for grant funds.
"Wal-Mart's decision to locate in
Wal-Mart Realty Acquisitions Director Matt Powers said Monday that the company will look to hire a majority of the 450 workers needed to staff the new distribution center from

THE ALAMANCE COUNTY Board of Commissioners will meet Monday to set a public hearing regarding the incentives agreement already approved by Mebane and Graham.
"It has been a joint effort to get this far in the process," Honeycutt said.
Commissioner Tom Manning said Tuesday that Wal-Mart's decision to build a new distribution center in
Commissioner David Smith said he believed Wal-Mart's decision to come to Hawfields likely would attract more businesses to the 1,215-acre economic development zone created earlier this year. Smith called Wal-Mart an "outstanding company."
Graham Mayor Jerry Peterman said Tuesday that he was excited about bringing new jobs to the region.
"We need jobs desperately," Peterman said.
If Wal-Mart does not proceed with the project, then the company will be required to purchase the property or reimburse the cities $10.8 million over 10 years. If Wal-Mart's taxable investment is less than $85 million, then the company pays the cities the difference of actual taxes and $842,000 for 10 years.
Maness said the distribution center will use about 28,000 gallons of water per day. Graham and Mebane will use money from their fund balances to purchase the 186 acres. The site will be voluntarily annexed into Mebane.
The fiscal impact of the deal on Graham's and Mebane's balance sheets also was discussed Monday.
Maness said Graham will experience an $854,000 deficit on the revenues versus expenses paid on the project after five years, but will begin to experience a $190,000 net gain on the project after 10 years with additional net gains expected.
For Mebane, the projection is that there will be an $812,000 deficit on the revenues versus expenses paid on the project after five years. By year 10, Mebane is projected to experience a net gain of $231,000 on the project once debt is paid off and revenues generated by the project continue to be provided to the city.
Maness said the initial deficit experienced by both cities is due to the upfront expenses incurred on water and sewer costs and land purchases. Once these expenses are paid for, the cities will reap the benefits of tax revenues generated by the distribution center.

This is my 1st pair of Jessica Simpson shoes; and I like them! After having foot surgery, I've been missing my high heel shoes so much. These are low enough for me to walk in comfortably and they look great!
