Your Home for Healthcare
If you are looking for a way to honor a loved one, thank a special health care provider or give back to your community, consider a gift to the Kossuth Regional Health Center Foundation. Your generous donations help the KRHC Foundation to live out its mission:
Want to give a gift online? Thanks to a partnership with the Kossuth County Community Foundation, online giving is now available.
The KRHC Foundation engages residents from across Kossuth County to provide leadership and guidance for the endowment fund, annual giving, special campaigns and much more. Current Foundation Board members include:
KRHC Foundation Board of Directors
Kossuth Regional Health Center has developed into one of the premier rural health care facilities in the state because of the strength of spirit, dedication and generosity of many. The health care campus we know today is the result of hundreds of volunteer hours and literally millions of dollars donated. It all began with the vision of Dr. Melvin Bourne and a group of citizens committed to building a hospital. Their dream was realized in October 1947 when St. Ann's Hospital opened its doors under the leadership of the Sisters of Mercy.
In the summer of 1978 another group of citizens realized that the only way to recruit a physician to Kossuth County was to build a clinic. The Kossuth Medical Center Foundation raised over $125,000 to secure FHA financing to begin construction.
Volunteer community leaders stepped forward once again to assist the Board of Trustees when, in the mid-late 1980's the planning began to build the outpatient addition. The Kossuth County Hospital Foundation was formed in 1988 and has raised over $1.2 million from the residents and corporate citizens of Kossuth County. The Kossuth Medical Center Foundation dissolved and transferred the balance of their funds to the Kossuth County Hospital Foundation in 1997 to create an Endowment Fund.
In December of 1985, the Board of Trustees entered into a management agreement with St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Mason City, Iowa. The board and Mercy formed a physician- hospital organization in 1997 and created what we know today as Kossuth Regional Health Center.
To serve the residents of Kossuth County, Kossuth Regional Health Center must be financially stable. Kossuth Regional Health Center receives minimal tax support. Declining reimbursements from Medicare, an aging population and the spiraling costs of medical technology have placed a disproportionate burden on health care facilities our size. In many cases, Medicare and other payers do not meet the actual cost of providing care to patients. In order to remain viable, it is critical that Kossuth Regional Health Center develops an additional source of funding to cover those shortfalls.
The Endowment Fund is the cornerstone of the Kossuth Regional Health Center Foundation. The Endowment Fund was established to provide ongoing support of the hospital. Only the interest income generated from the principal of the Endowment Fund is available to support the hospital and it is conservatively invested to produce long-term growth. The Foundation Endowment has been substantially increased with bequests from Gladys Mahana, Veda McArthur and Ellen G. Holmgren.
The goal of the Kossuth Regional Health Center Foundation is to grow the Endowment to the point where the income it generates for the hospital can fund not only the capital spending budget but also for the future needs of this community.
As critical as the Foundation's support was to the facility improvement projects, without a growing Endowment Fund the future of this medical community lies in peril. The income generated by a healthy Endowment can help insulate Kossuth Regional Health Center against some of the pressures placed on it by declining reimbursements from payers such as Medicare as well as continually increasing costs resulting from greater regulatory burdens as well as rising costs of health care supplies and equipment.

The Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM is a versatile telephoto lens setting new standards in zoom and performance. It features a 4 stop Image Stabilizer for greater flexibility when shooting and has two UD elements and floating lens group for excellent sharpness and imaging performance. This durable and rugged lens construction meets the needs of demanding photographers. More
Key Features
High performance telephoto zoom lens
With a focal length range of 70-300mm, the EF 70-300mm f4-5.6L IS USM is a compact and versatile telephoto zoom lens delivering exceptional image quality. Ideal for wildlife and sports photographers, as well as photo journalism and portraiture.
L-series quality
The L-series is Canon's flagship professional lens range, representing the best in precision-designed EF optics. L-series lenses combine superior performance with superlative handling, and are highly resistant to dust and moisture.
4-stop Image Stabilizer
A 4-stop optical Image Stabilizer – specially designed for the lens' specific focal length range – works to counteract image blur, which can occur during handheld shooting, or at slow shutter speeds. Automatic panning detection ensures effective performance when tracking moving subjects and, as the IS system is based in the lens, results are visible through the viewfinder during framing.
Two UD elements
Chromatic aberration is virtually eliminated by the inclusion of two UD lenses, ensuring optimum image quality and sharpness.
Creative background blur
An 8 blade circular aperture on the EF 70-300mm f4-5.6L IS USM creates beautiful background blur, making your subject stand out with dramatic effect.
Fast, quiet auto focus
A ring USM (Ultrasonic motor) uses ultrasonic frequency vibrations to drive extremely rapid auto focus with near-silent operation. A high-speed CPU and optimised AF algorithms contribute further to AF speed. Good holding torque stops the focusing lens group without overshoot. Full time electronic manual focus override is available without having to switch out of AF mode.

Brilliant Lens for the price.
By Wilbur
from York
Very nice build quality also bought a Kenko 67mm Pro1 Digital UV Filter to protect front lens.Lens hood a little stiff but I guess will get better with use. Remember to attach and remove by the mounting end as the outer end flexes and could be damaged.Used hand held at a falconry display for about 1 hour without any discomfort from the weight.Did consider the 100-400 but after reading reviews decided on the 70-300 which I think is more usable for my needs. Also a new 100-400 without the push-pull zoom has now been released at a much higher cost.

Great little Lens
By pbish
from Swansea Wales
I bought this after struggling to carry the Heavier Sigma 150 - 500 mm lens I had and now cope with this on a monopod for a considerable timeI found that I can crop to a greater degree than at the 500mm end of my old lens giving a reasonable size image because of the image qualityyes you have to get closer to your subject but I found that to a certain degree with my old lens anyway,I use a Lightweight hide to help hereThe stabilisation and the close focus is very good for getting handheld shots of Butterflies and insects - recently had some very good shots of Dragonflies at a distance of 10 to 15 feet away also used this for Birds and had some of the of best results for small birds that I have ever had(i.e. Goldcrest) Quality and sharpness of the images is superb and is only marginally reduced using a Kenro 1.4X convertor
I Would recommend this product

Used for wildlife and sport, great picture quality, shame it doesn't have a tripod bracket
Stunning lens
By Ann
from Birmingham
I have used canon lenses for many years, I am very pleased with the quality of this lens. My main use is for wildlife photography, the results so far have been wonderful. The size of this lens itself is really good and not bulky. The ease of use is great.Overall I would recommend this lens. I have not yet found any fault with the lens itself.The only disappointment is Canon not supplying a tripod mount which is an extra cost to be paid out.
Brilliant lens for sports
By John
from Wales
Takes fabulous sports pictures - I shoot horses (sic) jumping, so often at a distance and rapidly changing focus. Not too heavy for what it is. No need for a tripod, the IS is so good!

Very happy with this product
By Philip Hawkins

About Me Professional
I use this primarily for weddings but also for travel and wildlife. The image quality this lens achieves is outstanding which was my main priority. All the way through the focal length range and at every aperture. The Image Stabilzer is very good and I can hold at 1/60th second with no problem at all. With care I can go down to 1/30th of a second. The lens is quite heavy which isn't a problem in itself at is very ergonomic, but when being used for extended periods (eg: when shooting a wedding ceremony or speeches) it can get tiring. A monopod is a good option to overcome this. I would have preferred the zoom and focus rings to be the other way around. The zoom ring is at the front and the focus ring is behind it, on my other Canon lens it is the other way round so takes a bit getting used to. The build quality is superb. I've used the lens in all weathers including pouring rain with no ill effects at all. Being an L-series this lens is expensive but then you get what you pay for.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Patrick Santora on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Name of the apostle and patron saint of Ireland (c.389–461), Gaelic Pádraig. He was a Christian Briton and a Roman citizen, who as a young man was captured and enslaved by raiders from Ireland. He escaped and went to Gaul before returning home to Britain. In about 419 he felt a call to do missionary work in Ireland. He studied for twelve years at Auxerre, and in 432 returned to Ireland. For the rest of his life it is difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. He apparently went to the court of the high kings at Tara and made some converts there; then he travelled around Ireland making further converts until about 445, when he established his archiepiscopal see at Armagh. By the time of his death almost the whole of Ireland is said to have been converted to Christianity. He is also credited with codifying the laws of Ireland. In his Latin autobiography, as well as in later tradition, his name appears as Patricius 'patrician' (i.e. belonging to the Roman senatorial or noble class), but this may actually represent a Latinized form of some lost Celtic (British) name. In Ireland in particular, it has been one of the most enduringly popular boys' names.
|80th in the U.S.
Italian: variant (feminine in form) of Santoro, the feminine form probably being due to the influence of the Italian word famiglia 'family'.

On a recent morning in the Boston suburb of Natick, the halls of Wilson Middle School buzzed with the anticipation of a ride. Eighth-grade teacher Mike Hill, a gentle giant of a man, herded 18 squealing, laughing kids into helmets and out the door.
"AJ, can you sign everybody in?" Hill asked one boy, who dutifully checked names off a list.
The kids walked a fleet of red Specialized mountain bikes to the parking lot. A misty rain dampened the morning light. I found a spare bike and pedaled over to Hill. "Last ride," he said. "I'm going to miss it."
Though it may not look it, this parking lot sits on the cutting edge of brain science. Hill's students were volunteers in a new study probing the connections between riding, behavior, and brain function. Lindsay Shaw and Alex Thornton, researchers associated with Harvard professor John Ratey, were testing the kids to see if a program of before-school riding improves their brainpower. The data Shaw and Thornton collect may show precisely how the brain's electrical functions react to a regular dose of exercise. The researchers are especially interested in the effects of cycling on kids with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD). People afflicted with ADHD have a difficult time staying focused and controlling their behavior, and crackle with unbridled energy. The disorder occurs in 3 to 5 percent of preschool and school-age children, says the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
"Some recent studies indicate that the brain processes information more efficiently after exercise," Shaw explained earlier. One study that measured the neural functioning of ADHD-diagnosed kids after exercise found that their brains looked more similar to those of kids who didn't have the disorder. "Exercise seemed to provide a cognitive boost," she said.
The researchers tested the Wilson students prior to the four-week program. After this final session, they'll test them again to see if there's any significant change in their cognitive functioning. The researchers also took two "acute" measures in the middle of the program, testing the electrical currents in the kids' brains immediately before and after their morning ride. Another group of seventh- and eighth-graders across town at Kennedy Middle School will start the program tomorrow. Ratey, Shaw, and Thornton expect to publish results early in 2013.
Back at Wilson, Mike Hill snapped his helmet strap closed. "Listen up!" he told the kids. "This is our last ride. It's been tremendous fun for me. I hope it's been fun for you too. When you come back today, take your helmet with you. Those are yours to keep."
Sounds of amazement and delight from the kids.

- Rowan Preseason All-America
Baseball | Wednesday, January 25, 2012
Rowan is Chosen Preseason All-America by D3baseball.com
Returns to Action after Missing Most of 2011 Due to Injury
SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University junior right fielder Mitch Rowan (Cotati, CA/Rancho Cotate HS) has been named Honorable Mention Preseason All-America by D3baseball.com. Rowan missed all but seven games last season due to a hand injury, but hit .403 in 2010 and was a First Team Preseason All-America selection in 2011.
Rowan owns a .362 career batting average, which ranks him fourth on Willamette's all-time list. He is tied for sixth with 17 career home runs. In addition, he has achieved 105 hits, scored 69 runs, belted 12 doubles and driven in 83 runs during his career. He is 16 of 18 on stolen bases.
In limited action last year, he batted .393 with 11 hits in 28 at bats for the Bearcats. He hit two doubles and two triples.
This past summer, Rowan played for the Willmar Stingers (Minn.) in the Northwoods League. He tied for the team lead with 64 games played and ranked second on the team with a .333 batting average. He recorded 75 hits, pounded out 19 doubles, scored 41 runs, walked 32 times and drove in 21 runs.
He helped Willmar finished 39-31 in the Northwest League (3rd place, North Division), including 22-16 (2nd place, North) during the second half of the season.
The Northwoods League is a high-level collegiate summer baseball league with teams in Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. Teams are split into a North Division and a South Division. During the 2011 season, there were 16 teams, with eight in each division.
"I want to congratulate Mitch on receiving this special honor," said Willamette Head Coach Aaron Swick. "He had an outstanding summer and recently completed a great fall season in football (36.7 yards per punt for the Bearcats; 15 of 47 punts inside the 20).
"Mitch showed that he could compete against some of the top players in the country over the summer," Swick added. "We are looking forward to great things from him this season."
At Willamette in 2010, Rowan was named First Team All-West Region by the American Baseball Coaches Association and was chosen First Team All-Northwest Conference as a designated hitter. His .403 batting average led the team. He also ranked first for the Bearcats in hits (62), at bats (154), runs (41), home runs (12) and slugging percentage (.721).

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 21, 2004 A series of terror bombings in the southern Iraqi city of Basra today killed 38 civilians while wounding 98, according to a senior U.S. military officer.
Army Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, Combined Joint Task Force 7's deputy operations director, reported this news today from Baghdad during an interview with Laura Ingraham on her syndicated radio program.
Twenty persons killed by the bombings were children, Kimmitt said. Car bombs hit three Basra Iraqi police stations and a training center.
Kimmitt said the bombings also claimed the lives of five Iraqi police and wounded 15 policemen.
Yet, despite recent acts of violence in Iraq directed against U.S. and coalition forces and Iraqis who support them, Kimmitt noted, the coalition has found "no shortage of volunteers" coming forward to join the Iraqi police, Civil Defense Corps or armed forces.
Kimmitt clarified the coalition's policy that has banned most former Baathists from joining Iraq's new armed forces, explaining that the goal is to keep high- level members of Saddam Hussein's regime out of the military and the government.
However, the general noted, the coalition's policy "was so encompassing it painted with a very wide brush." Now, he explained, just the three highest levels of former Baathists "are outlawed from participation in any of the government functions."
Former Baathists who served at lower levels within the now-defunct regime can now go through a vetting process, Kimmitt said, and, if successful, could secure jobs in the new government.
On plans to arrest militant cleric Muqtada al-Sadr for his part in the alleged murder of a fellow cleric, Kimmitt explained it's not a simple matter. Sadr "is fairly wily" and is surrounded by thuggish bodyguards, the general acknowledged. Sadr also has chosen to hole up in the holy city of Najaf, Kimmitt explained, "where he knows it would create quite an incident if we were to come in after him." Still, Kimmitt emphasized, Sadr "is going to be brought to Iraqi justice."
Despite hardships, U.S. forces realize the gravity of their service in Iraq, Kimmitt said.
"The mission is very, very clear," the general explained, "which is to bring a safe, stable environment to the people of Iraq so they can move on with democracy and can move on with sovereignty."
The general said the United States has made an investment in Iraq, which "has the promise of becoming a shining light in the Middle East."
U.S. Marines and soldiers understand the importance of removing "the poison of violence and extremism" from Iraqi society, Kimmitt noted, so that Iraqis "can have a chance to stand on their own."

These little cards can be found in the paint section of any decent hardware store. Just walk in and grab a variety of colors. The only other things you need are a pair of scissors, painters tape, and some creativity.
I got the idea stopping by a house where people had taped a bunch of chips to the wall in a much more abstract pattern, so credit goes to them, whoever they are. Also, after writing this up, I realized there is a similar instructable here, but I figure that this is different enough to get its own.
This is a great way to make a space your own, especially if you are in an apartment or dormitory where they get grumpy about thumbtacks and screws. I know when I lived in a dorm, blue painters tape was the only thing allowed. Also, the irony of decorating with paint samples is enjoyable in its own right.
Step 1: Prepare the Chips
I decided to separate the colors, and trim off the white strips.
You might decide to leave them on the same card, since they do look kind of cool that way. Or maybe you want to cut them into different shapes. Triangles, circles, amoebas, whatever!
Step 2: Layout on Floor
Spread your chips out on the ground, and figure out a pattern you like. Its much easier to do it this way, since you don't have to mess around with tape while you are moving things around.
Once you get a design you like, take a picture. That way you can keep moving things around to experiment with different ideas, but can still go back and recreate older ones.
Step 3: Transfer to Wall
Step back and enjoy!

Cooking and Baking
Using a new set of cookware
My last piece of 20+ yr old CalphaIon is now living with someone else. Being poor and not in need of an entire set, I purchased a couple of Revere skillets - which I have found have to be soaked, scoured and scrubbed every time I use them. Everything sticks!
Maybe I just need to use more fat - which seems to just makes the food greasier rather than easier to saute? Higher heat? I don't know. Is there a secret I'm missing? How do I cook without everything sticking and breaking up?
BTW, not in the market to buy cast iron or any new pans, just want to be able to use what I already have.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!
