Maumee installs two-way electronic water metersWritten by Dave Willinger | | email@example.com
When one of your longtime suppliers tells you they are halting production of key components used in your city's water distribution system, a mechanical infrastructure that requires on average 40 to 50 replacement meters per year, what are you supposed to do?
If you are Joe Camp, Maumee's director of public service, you and your team put out a request for proposals for a new metering system — and you snatch up enough of those last replacement parts to see you through the transition.
That request went out in 2012. Today, licensed and bonded subcontractors are crisscrossing Maumee's 11.2 square miles, installing new two-way electronic water meters in homes and businesses. Those new meters, from North Carolina-based Mueller Systems, use a radio frequency transmitter to send data via an external system of "repeaters" and "collectors" mounted on city property to a secure, central computer hosted by the manufacturer.
At his office beneath the landmark water tower on Dussel Drive, Camp is able to pull up on his desktop computer hourly data from daily readings transmitted from the nearly 1,000 newly installed and functioning meters.
That up-to-date data has obvious advantages. Assistant Water Superintendent Todd Walborn related how the computerized system alerted him one morning in early March to a residence where 20-gallon-an-hour spikes in water usage had been recorded the night before. Walborn contacted the homeowner and arranged a visit. On site he found a toilet in the home's basement that had an internal leak. With the old system, based on quarterly meter readings for residences, that leak, if undetected over three months, could have amounted to as much as 45,000 gallons of water wasted, city officials calculated, not to mention a whopping water bill for the unsuspecting homeowner.
The price paid by the City of Maumee for the new system was $2.6 million, of which $1.3 million came from the sanitary sewer account, Camp said. Maumee is in the process of issuing 10-year bonds to cover the balance. In addition, the city will pay Mueller Systems $19,000 annually for hosting the meter data at a secure facility and Mueller Systems will also operate the computerized system that Maumee officials say will improve their ability to manage the municipal water infrastructure while at the same time allowing customers to budget and conserve water through its Web portal. According to Camp, the annual fee "is a very good deal for us."
Camp said the installation of the new meters — 6,500 in total — is expected to be complete sometime this fall. At that time the customer Web portal will be activated. That feature allows customers to use their computers, smartphones or other device to monitor their water usage as a way to spot leaks and help conserve water in general. For example, Camp suggested, the system can alert a customer if water is being used in their absence, which could mean a leaky toilet or a sneaky neighbor stealing water from an outdoor spigot.
The Mueller metering system now being installed represents an upgrade that effectively leapfrogged other technological improvements in use around the country, Walborn said, including handheld electronic meter readers and so-called "drive-by" systems, both of which still require labor. Maume's new system will put an end to water meter readers in the city. Still, no employees will lose their jobs, Camp emphasized — just a part of their job descriptions.
When asked whether there were any health concerns associated with the automated system, which uses 900 megahertz radio frequency signals once a day to transmit data from the installed devices, Camp said city officials looked into the matter and are confident no risks are involved. He referred a reporter to a World Health Organization fact sheet issued in 2006 that concludes: "Considering the very low exposure levels and research results collected to date, there is no convincing scientific evidence that the weak RF signals from base stations and wireless networks cause adverse health effects."
Maumee's new system is "the best way to go," agreed Don Moline, Toledo's commissioner of the Department of Public Utilities. Moline, whose department sells Maumee its water — more than 745 million gallons last year — said Toledo also has switched about one-fifth of its 100,000 water meters to the "radio read" type.
While Toledo also serves a number of outlying districts as far afield as Wood and Fulton counties, and Monroe, Mich., Moline said Maumee is one of the city's biggest water customers. "We have a longterm and good relationship with the City of Maumee," Moline told Toledo Free Press. Indeed, Moline confirmed Maumee is in the second half of a 40-year contract with Toledo for bulk water. Long contracts are the norm in a sector requiring such extensive infrastructure, Moline said.
In today's era of advancing technologies, Maumee's now state-of-the-art system has another built-in advantage: It is upgradable. Mueller Systems Vice President Matt Thomas said his firm, which has been in the water metering business since 1859 and has been making electronic metering systems since the 1990s, is already developing add-on features such as acoustic network leak detection and pressure management.
Thomas has spent more than three decades in the sector. He said Mueller Systems supplies utilities in some 500 cities across America and counts among its customers American Water, the largest publicly traded water company in the United States.
With this single technological upgrade, Maumee's water meter readings will go from hen scratchings in meter reader notebooks to a mainframe in a secure facility in Atlanta, serviced by multiple powergrids and "mirrored," or backed up, by a second facility in San Francisco. "Utilities take security very seriously," Thomas said.
Maintenance of the Mueller equipment in Maumee will be done by Camp's team. The meters come with a 10-year, "bumper-to-bumper" warranty and an additional 10-year pro-rated warranty, Thomas said.
Camp, who likes to say he works with 2 million gallons of water sitting above his head, said Maumee currently only bills for 90 percent of the water it purchases, meaning that 10 percent of the water is lost to leaks or "slow" meters. While Camp said the 90 percent figure has been deemed acceptable in the industry, he expects the new system to boost that to 99 percent. Camp allowed some residents may end up with a bigger water bill but only because with the new meters they will be paying for all the water they are using. When mechanical meters get old they tend to slow down, that is, allow more water flow than they register. Camp said it is only fair to pay for what you use. The new system offers customers ways to monitor that usage and help them conserve by alerting them in a timely fashion of usage spikes.

There are a about a handful of exceptional restaurant-finder apps out there helping match diners with a choice place. Some use algorithms based on dining awards, food critic reviews, location, and price, while others like Yelp and Urbanspoon rely heavily on customer reviews and ratings.
Dining app LocalEats is one of the former. Well-rated, and not a new app, it's a tried and tested, and highly rated mobile app that diners everywhere are finding helpful, especially while traveling.
One of the hardest things for trekkers to do is find great local food, especially when traveling to a locale for the first time, and even more specifically, for business. Many just don't have time to research dining options, yet find later that it's one of the top items of travel regret.
Dining apps are making it easier for us to find what we are looking for while on the go, practically eliminating the chance for compunction.
Meaning of Local
One of the great things about traveling is getting to know the locals through their food. Every small town in America has its own flare, flavor, and homegrown traditions. Big cities are no different.
In fact, we've found that one of the best things when in a big city is the ability to find all kinds of local "global" cuisine, and not just done well, but done near true to its home of origin. After all, what is true local food in America, this big melting pot of a nation? It's everything—from all over.
Now, if you think about a Philly cheesesteak, or deep-dish pizza from Chicago, or a po'boy from New Orleans, that's what you might associate with the term "local American." These foods are completely a part of the scenery, where the flavors, textures, and identity of a place come together with just a bite—when you know exactly where you are by taste.
Do a search online for pizza in Chicago, and you will come up with hundreds of places, many of them so-so places not rave-worthy. And, looking at Yelp, you will find some local run-of-the-mill places on top-rated lists. But, ask a food critic from Chicago, and they can tell you no pizza is created equal, not even there. Still, so many people think that if you want to taste the best of local cuisine, ask the locals. That's not always the outcome though.
Because there is local cuisine, and then there is world-class local cuisine.
App LocalEats has sifted through all of that noise for you. For instance, when visiting Chicago, it's practically guaranteed that if you like pizza, you will enjoy eating pizza from a world-class pizza place.
But, if you have lots of time, that's when you hit the pizza parlor in the neighborhood where your college friend—the one who insists "you gotta try this pizza!"—grew up. Then you'll have time to take a look around, get a feel for the neighborhood, delving into a little bit of your friend's history and heart.
Start in Print
Local eats began as a print guide, taking information from local newspapers, magazine reader polls, restaurant critics, including local businesses, and professionals. The guide grew to over a thousand U.S. cities and towns, helping travelers find the best in local dining experience.
LocalEats does not include any chain restaurants in their searches; the focus is on local restaurants that are what they tout, "only the best restaurants in the world."
LocalEats mobile app contains in-app menus for over 70 percent of the restaurants it lists through a partnership with SinglePlatform, a service of Constant Contact, which allows businesses to showcase their products to any number of websites and apps. This allows for the most recent updated information given in restaurant searchers, since the restaurants control the information that goes into SinglePlatform.
Another benefit is that LocalEats is also partnered with BiteHunter, another service that provides real-time, location-based dining deals. They have over 50 thousand local dining deals across the United States.
The App
User-friendly, and with a simple layout, the app is easy to learn and easier to use. There is the option to search for places based on GPS location, as well as for particular cities and states. You can also narrow the search down by using keywords for the type of cuisine, or food item, restaurant name, zip code, among other things.
Icons on the bottom of the app's interface are for navigating through the app and there's even a search by landmark, which is a cool feature that sweetens the apps appeal.
The search itself contains mostly the type of information you'd find on OpenTable, such as type of cuisine, professional description of the place, price range, features (like handicap access info), phone number and address, and many times an excerpt of a professional food review. Convenient features included are a call button that calls the number of the restaurant automatically when pressed, as well as a menu button that pulls up the most recently added menu of the place, and the ability to mark your favorite dishes.
You can also star restaurants to add to a personal favorites list, saving them for you within the app.
This app does not have an all-inclusive restaurant search. It's a screened search, intended to bring the top rated choices they hope you will appreciate.
The iPhone version of LocalEats was used in the review process for this article. The iPhone version can be bought in iPhone's App Store for 99 cents. The iPad version is free. For Android phones, there is a free Android version available for download on www.appszoom.com

Monica Brant needs no introduction to those who have been following the fitness world for the past 15 or so years. Gracing the cover of over 100 magazines Monica was amongst the core group of women who influenced my path to a fit lifestyle as I'm sure she has with many girls around the world. If you consider, I was living in a remote area in the Outback Australia when she touched my life.
Life's grand isn't it? The teenager from the Outback with a head full of dreams is now getting to interview her role model, Monica Brant... and carry the torch Monica unknowingly bestowed on me for promoting healthy, inspired living.
So now I hope Monica will help and inspire your life too as she stops by The Global Townhall to offer us some of her wisdom.
Gabrielle Reilly: What makes a champion a champion?
Monica Brant Peckham: A champion is differentiated by the work ethic they live by and the goals they set out to obtain! Champions tend to have more dedication and discipline and will not let anything get in their way!
Gabrielle Reilly: How many calories do you consume a day or how do you mentally regulate how much you consume?
Monica Brant Peckham: My diet is 80% 'junk food free' even in the off-season. It is simple, the stricter I am with my diet the better I look. I take in 25-35 grams of protein per meal. I eat starchy carbs only until mid afternoon unless I am going to be up late and need the extra energy. At this point I cut them after 6pm. I eat fibrous carbs at least three times a day during my competition program. I replace a lot of the starch with fibrous carbs. When I cut my complex carbs I add a little more fat in my diet. During competition preparation my fat sources are Omega 3/6/9s, olive/canola oil, almonds and natural Peanut Butter (crunchy only!).
In the off-season (not that I really get an off season with the industry, I have to be somewhat READY at all times for photo shoots, appearances and camps) fat comes in with some other items, such as egg yolks, avocado, and mixed nuts. Having said all this, I try to eat every three to four hours. Definitely many small meals throughout the day are better than a few large ones. I use Proto Whey (by BNRG) protein shakes all year, I don't stop taking them in at least 1-2x daily except for the last 2-3 days before competitions. I only have a ?Power Crunch' bar (by BNRG) as a snack (occasionally) to help with a sweet tooth!
Just an FYI, I do enjoy some good foods and wine occasionally! I just regulate how often and cut back when I need to! Consistency is the best tool I have under my belt!
Gabrielle Reilly: What is your philosophy on eating carbohydrates?
Monica Brant: Eliminating (starchy) carbs or minimizing them can definitely help someone lose weight; however, eliminating and minimizing (starchy) carbs can also cause extra hunger and can lead to overeating too!
A couple things to keep in mind are that we need carbs for daily bodily functions, brain food and energy! I believe the main problem with carbs is that the general public does not understand which carbs to eat, when to eat them and how much to eat!
To make it easy, below is a list to help out!
*Best time to eat carbs: morning and during the day
*Worst time to eat carbs: late in the evening or night(unless they are fibrous carbs - green beans, broccoli, asparagus, peas, green leafy lettuce/spinach- which can be eaten at any time of the day!)
*Best carbs to eat: Oatmeal (old fashioned is best), brown rice, potatoes (as long as you have some protein with them)- keep in mind anything natural with regards to carbs is best- if you can not give up breads, then make sure to find the healthiest one available with multi grains and possibly some natural fats included such as flaxseed!
Anything ?man made' (breads, pasta) will be stored as fat more readily and not processed by the body as well..
Touching on fibrous carbs.. anything green is good and these type of carbs can be eaten at any time of the day! Great news!
*Amount of carbs to eat: This depends on male/female and how active the person is. Typically for females you can go for about 20-30 grams of starchy carbs per meal for first 2-3 meals of the day- if you can read labels and measure food-this will help a lot to learn! After 5-6pm I recommend replacing starchy carbs for fibrous carbs to get the last few grams in of the day.
An example on measurements: old fashioned oatmeal- � cup is 27 carbs =one serving. This would be perfect for most females.. men may need � cup oats to serve their body better!
Rule of thumb.. Try to get in at least 1 gram of carb per lean body pound per day!
FYI- I have explained much more about nutrition in my fitness book, "Monica Brant's Secrets to Staying Fit & Loving Life!" which can be found on my website.
Gabrielle Reilly: What advice would you give someone trying to break into the fitness modeling world?
Monica Brant Peckham: Getting professional photographs, with stress on professional, headshots and body shots taken is a must! Next send them with a resume and short letter about yourself to magazines you wish to appear in. Be sure to tell them what you do and why they would want to have you in their magazine. Remember there are 100's of girls and guys sending theirs in too, so you need to be memorable!
Gabrielle Reilly: Can you give our readers a motivational/inspirational quote?
Monica Brant Peckham: Stay fit & Love Life! My favorite verse... I can do all things through Christ, who Strengthens me! Phil 4:13

North Creek More than 100 people packed the Tannery Pond Community Center the evening of Friday, Sept. 6 to see the local premiere of "Approaching Normal," an independent film shot in and around North River. Yet the main character could not make it, for obvious reasons.
The Garnet Hill Lodge stayed home in North River for the show.
The lodge, owned and operated by Don Preuninger and Mindy Piper, was not only the setting for this film, it was indeed a main character. While the actors could have been interchanged to fit their characters, this story was designed to take place at Garnet Hill.
"I filmed at Garnet Hill because my family stayed there probably 20 years ago," said writer/director Zack Bernstein, a junior at Emerson College in Boston who is studying film production. "I saw some pictures and did some research. We looked around because we didn't expect to actually get the original location that the story is based off of. Even though the story is fictionalized and the characters are fictionalized, the location isn't."
Bernstein, his actors and crew — all Emerson students or alumni — spent three weeks filming at Garnet Hill Lodge in 2012. Shooting began on May 21 and ended June 6. They used the lodge itself, the property and adjoining Thirteenth Lake for scenes. The lodge and landscape became as much a part of the film as did the story. About 60 percent of the film was shot outdoors.
Bernstein joined the Garnet Hill Lodge owners to present this private screening at Tannery Pond because many locals were involved with the production as extras. And it was satisfying to see the reactions from the audience.
"It was nice to kind of do what we can to give back and see their reactions," Bernstein said. "A lot of them have a relationship to the locations that we shot in, so sometimes they would laugh because things that we wrote in the script actually happened in those various locations. Some of them worked there. Some of them worked there 10 years ago."

The MB Koffee With Karan Season 3 Awards
Karan Johar and his coterie of critics, Rajeev Masand, Koel Purie, Manish Malhotra and Sarita Tanwar.
The third season of Koffee With Karan ended with not a bang but a whimper, with four of K-Jo's film critic-friends (including fashion designer Manish Malhotra) being roped in to vote on awards in such generalised and unimaginative categories as best performance and best dressed guest. But these honours did not do justice to the many hours of trash TV that season three has provided us over the last five-and-a-half months. At just 19 sets of guests and no less than three best-of recaps, it was clear that K-Jo was running out of friends to call. He tried in vain to get Aamir Khan and Salman Khan to appear. For a man who claims to be BFFs with almost half of Bollywood, K-Jo must have been disheartened to know that barely anyone appeared on the show this season unless they had a film to promote. The list included everyone from Farah Khan to Sanjay Dutt and Anil Kapoor to Rani Mukherjee and Vidya Balan. When they came without a film to plug (Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan), more often than not, they had little of significance to share. In an effort to fully appreciate Johar's sheer effort to bitch out, mud rake or even titillate, we decided to list out our own Koffee With Karan awards. In some categories, there were a few contenders but in others, the guests seemed to be in a league of their own:
Best Backhanded Compliment
Ever so large-heartedly, Kareena Kapoor said Priyanka Chopra puts the "act" in "actress" which you could interpret as Kapoor admitting that her arch rival can actually act, or as her saying that Chopra's the most fake person she's had the displeasure of sharing the same air with.
Best confirmation of a Bollywood rumour
Bollywood will admit to its past, but not its present. So while they refuse to clarify or confirm rumours about whom they are currently dating, they are occasionally happy to dish the dirt about old colleagues. Sanjay Dutt almost admitted to his affair with Madhuri Dixit in the 1990s (though she wasn't asked about the same) and let slip that Akshaye Khanna is a heavy drinker. Anil Kapoor revealed that Shilpa Shetty took collagen injections in the early noughties, and though he said he blurted it out just to win the hamper, Tusshar Kapoor named Preity Zinta as the person whose name came to his mind when he heard the words cosmetic surgery. However, it was Deepika Padukone's confirmation that she broke up with Ranbir Kapoor because he cheated on her that was the closest we came to confession time on Koffee with K-Jo.
Best fake performance
Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra stopped pretending a long time ago, but that hasn't stopped the younger ones from attempting to disprove that old saw that two actresses in the same league can't be friends. Given how well they teamed up to bitch out Ranbir Kapoor, you might have thought Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone were besties for life. Sadly, they're just more publicity-hungry than Kareena or Priyanka, and while they're not quite enemies like those two, their thinly veiled barbs on each other's dress sense and acting abilities showed us they're just a little more than acquaintances (plus K-Jo inadvertently confirmed it by scoffing at the notion that the two were genuine friends during Sunday's finale). Still, they deserve points for trying. Then again, the pair were no match for Rani Mukerji and Vidya Balan who proved, this time off-screen, just how good their acting skills were. Their sole purpose was to promote their new film, No One Killed Jessica and to dismiss rumours that they did not get along during the making of the movie. The duo went as far as thumb sucking to grab eyeballs. "The producers will tell you we were as lovey-dovey on the sets of the film," said Mukerji. Of course, we later found out that they had just a couple of scenes together in the film, giving them limited scope to mete out any lovey-dovey or even bitchy behaviour to the other.
The how to lose friends and alienate people award
From Ranbir Kapoor to Shobhaa De and Kangna Ranaut to almost everyone she was asked about, Sonam Kapoor had a kind word to say to almost none. This may have gotten her the hamper and the best debut award from K-Jo and his critic pals, but it's unlikely to win her many roles. Not a good move considering that yet another of her films, Thank You has tanked at the box office.
K-Jo's worst allusion to his sexual orientation
"I'm not in a relationship with a woman, I don't understand the dynamics and so I probably shouldn't comment on it", he told Saifeena. Then, he (unwittingly perhaps) asked Shah Rukh Khan if "the wife only get the perks" of his being "the greatest lover in the world", and asked both SRK and Hrithik Roshan (who he described as the most "beautiful man" in the country) if they would "pose in the nude for Playgirl for $1 billion". When introducing Roshan, he rather unnecessarily said, "I do believe behind every successful man, there's a woman, unless the man is oriented differently". It was however John Abraham's vivid descriptions of his own body that got K-Jo's most blatant expression of his sexual orientation yet. "If I didn't know better, I'd say he's trying to turn me on," said Johar, when John talked about taking a shower and putting on his boxers.
Most shameless film plug
It's one thing to come on a show to promote your new film, it's quite another to make it seem like you're doing your host a favour. After Tusshar Kapoor stated grandly that he got Johar "a gift", the present in question was revealed to be the poster of his upcoming film, Shor in the City, which few people had heard about up to that point. The gift-giving was possibly planned, for K-Jo seemed neither offended nor surprised.
Biggest bullshitter
Ranbir Kapoor scored high for, among other things, putting up a lame denial of cheating on Deepika Padukone (he may have passed his tenth-standard exams but Kapoor clearly hasn't yet figured out that sharing your two-timing techniques is not the best showcase of your fidelity). He also pretended to not know that Padukone was seeing Siddharth Mallya. But his guilelessness was overshadowed by Shah Rukh Khan's mastery of doublespeak. SRK said that he's never believed "even for a moment" that he'll be "a bigger star or a bigger actor than Aamir or Salman Khan", and that he'd call Farah Khan and make up with her but "someone has to remind me". But it was K-Jo himself who proved to be the biggest bullshitter of them all, resorting to hyperbole whenever he was stumped for words. From calling Love Aaj Kal an "iconic" movie when introducing Imtiaz Ali (almost everyone would agree that the director's Jab We Met was a bigger and better film) to pussyfooting around Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan when it came to quizzing them about controversies to extolling the virtues of the horrendous Golmaal series when interviewing both Ajay Devgn and Tusshar Kapoor, it was Johar who ultimately showed his guests that when it comes to playing it up for the cameras, he is second to none.

Chelsea Loft
For some big apartments, size is its own problem. This loft's 5000 square feet leave the dark middle awfully far from the windows. We pushed the habitable rooms to the windows, packed the middle with storage, and ran a ring of circulation between the two zones. The end walls of the family room are giant etched-glass doors that slide into wall pockets to clear a path for the kids' zip line. For the adults, there's an acoustically isolated music room, a climate-controlled wine room, and sleek detailing.

True Blood
First Look! Joe Manganiello Takes the Stripper Stage in Magic Mike
While we're celebrating Joe Manganiello's 35th birthday, let's all pause and take a moment to enjoy the first promo photo released from his upcoming film, Magic Mike.
The movie — set to be released on June 29, 2012 — stars our favorite True Blood werewolf alongside Alex Pettyfer, Matthew McConaughey, and Channing Tatum in a story based on Channing's pre-Hollywood days as a male stripper.
In the first image released by Warner Brothers, the film's hunky stars take the stage to perform an Americana-themed routine for what we can only assume is an awestruck audience of female fans.
Will you be lining up to see this flick come June? We know we will.

What is using up all my memory?
I can't seem to figure out how all of my memory is being used up on my macbook. The way I calculate it, I should only have used up about 74 GB of memory space (I added up the space used for itunes, iphoto, imovie, documents, and applications), but my Istat monitor says I have used up 101 GB. Why is there a discrepancy of 27 GB? Are there duplicate files somewhere that I could delete to free up more memory space? Also, is there a program that would allow me to view exactly how my memory is allocated so that I can find out how much memory is used up for each program and how the memory space is allocated? This way it would be easier for me to find this 27 GB that is being used? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I think you mean "what is using up all my storage".
Have you right click on the Macintosh HD in the Finder and clicked "Get Info"? This might give you something different.
>_<" the correct term would be "space" since you are referring to the storage space left on your HDD.
You can try using a disk analyzer like Disk Inventory X (free), or DaisyDisk (not free but has demo). They tell you exactly what's on your disk and how much space files take up.
true you're talking about disk space, memory is ram.
I have the same problem!
The operating system uses about 12gb.
Thanks guys, I think i'm going to try out the disk inventory software suggested above. I appreciate all your help.
i had the same concern as you once, and found a software that is worth every penny. MacKeeper
MacKeeper will show you your harddrive and will color code files according to their size, (that includes system files) and will show you where all your space is going. Also, it'll help you clean gegabites worth of junk.
- Nick
what kind of troubles do they face?
i've had it on a 2007 macbook, and transferred it to my 2012 macbook pro and it has met my expectations. either my expectations are noob-like or i'm from the lucky bunch!
i don't use all the features provided, i only use the applications under "cleaning" tab, which those alone i think are worth it. i have also found damaged files using the "anti-virus" scan feature.
it'll still be interesting seeing what others think of the software!
When folks post that they are having performance issues...and we find out that they're running MacKeeper...the first thing we usually suggest is uninstall MacKeeper!
- Nick
i hear ya!
actually what i'll do is: i'll uninstall it, use my computer for a while and see if it runs better!!
and will also search the website
Thanks Nick!
Just stay away from "funky sites"!;)
- Nick
I use MacKeeper weekly on both my 2010 MB Pro and my 2011 MB Air. I swear by it for it's cleaning and organizing features. Never used it as an antivirus.

NEW YORK (AP) — Taco Bell fans can finally mark their calendars: Doritos Locos Tacos in Cool Ranch flavor will be launched March 7.
The chain is rolling out the new variety a year after the Doritos Locos Tacos were launched in a Nacho Cheese flavor. Taco Bell says it already sold more than 350 million of finger-staining tacos, making them the biggest ever product launch.
CEO Greg Creed has told the Associated Press that Doritos Locos Tacos now account for about a quarter of all taco sales. Creed says he plans to keep introducing new Doritos flavors as well. Next up is a "Flamas" flavor, a Doritos variety sold in select regions of the country with higher Hispanic populations.
The tacos have helped Taco Bell stage a comeback after a lawsuit in 2011 alleging its beef shouldn't be labeled as such because of its other ingredients. The suit was later dropped.
Taco Bell had originally planned to release the Cool Ranch variety last year. But the chain says it postponed the launch after the Nacho Cheese flavor got such a strong response. Speculation had been building online over when the Cool Ranch variety would come out. Taco Bell made the announcement Wednesday on social media sites Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
The chain says it will support the launch of Cool Ranch tacos with its biggest ever marketing campaign.
Creed said Nacho Cheese was chosen as the first variety last year because it's the most popular Doritos flavor, while Cool Ranch is second-most popular.
Creed said Frito-Lay, which is owned by PepsiCo Inc., had to build special equipment to make the taco shells, which use a special formula to make them crunchier and are dusted with Doritos flavoring. He noted that the advantage of Doritos Locos Tacos is also that it's a proprietary brand; competitors can't respond because there are no other corn chips that are so widely known.
Taco Bell is owned by Yum Brands Inc., which also owns KFC and Pizza Hut.

Reaction to Jacques Lemaire's retirement
Apr 26, 2010, 4:15 PM EDT
Here's a rundown of reactions from across the blogosphere on the news
of Jacques Lemaire's retirement, and what this means for the immediate
future of the franchise.
Fischer of In Lou We Trust as an epic (it's expected with ILWT)
post on the firing, opining on the past season with Lemaire at the he
What I felt was the most impressive was how he structured the team so
they could continue winning so many games in November and December in
spite of all the injuries. Mind you, these were injuries to Paul Martin, Dainius
Zubrus, Patrik Elias, etc.,
etc. – a far cry from just a few guys being day-to-day for a week or
so. The Devils didn't have a fully healthy roster until Martin came
back in the first half of March 2010. The Devils have had multiple
rookies from Lowell in the lineup and while it wasn't always pretty,
the success still came. Yes, the Devils slumped in the first two
months 2010 (and the first week of March) but short of the very elite
teams, teams tend to regress to their mean over time anyway.
More reactions after the jump.
Wyshynski of Puck Daddy compares this season to 1998, Lemaire's
last with the Devils (before this season, of course):
We know that the 2010 New Jersey Devils are the 1998 New Jersey
Devils, who lost in the first round against the Ottawa Senators. That
postseason saw a superstar veteran acquisition, who never fit the
system, play well in his final games for the franchise (Doug Gilmour
then; Ilya Kovalchuk(notes) potentially now);
Devils mainstays underachieve mightily in the playoffs (leading
goal-scorer Bobby Holik(notes) earned no points and a
minus-4 then; Jamie Langenbrunner's(notes) one assist and a
minus-1 now); and Lemaire leave the bench after the season, after both
first-round disasters may have indicated players were quitting on him
and his methods.
Adrian Dater, writing
for Versus.com, says that Lou Lamoriello should perhaps look at
himself now:
Jacques Lemaire was the latest New Jersey Devils coach to fall on his
sword, stepping down from the bench Monday after a disastrous
five-game first-round loss to Philadelphia. He joins a long list of
fall guys for Devils GM-for-life, Lou Lamoriello. Lemaire's departure
means the Devils have now been through an incredible six coaches since
last winning the Cup in 2003 – one of them being Lou himself.
The question now is, when will Lamoriello take a good look in the
mirror? When will Lamoriello ever come out and say, "You know what,
folks, this one is on me." Lamoriello is only too happy to take all the
credit when things go well — and there is no doubt that a lot of
things have gone very well for the Devils under his watch.
Quick note – I'm not certain this is a case of Lamoriello blaming
Lemaire for anything. By all accounts, Lemaire just didn't have it in
him to continue and last season Brent Sutter 'tricked' the Devils before
moving on to Calgary.
Duhatschek of the Globe & Mail says that it's tough to see
Lamaire go, but perhaps it's for the best.
Lemaire was something of an innovator as a coach –
because of his particular attention to defensive hockey, something borne
of his own playing experience and the fact that he started his coaching
career in Switzerland. Sadly, when the Devils won that year, it also
introduced the dreaded term 'neutral zone trap' into the popular hockey
lexicon. Given how the NHL is a copycat league, it became the de
rigueur style for the better part of a decade.
- Eric Seldin - Apr 26, 2010 at 6:51 PM
This is surprising, but not unexpected. Having been a Devils' fan for years, this is the first time that I truly felt that there was a little quit in the players .. not all .. but some. I think some got a little antsy about the constant line changes, and the somewhat mindless and uncalled for tinkering that Jacques loved to to. However, it has proven to be successful in the past, and was probably assumed it would be successful now (at least to get them deep in the tournament). I am not positive this was solely Jacques' decision! All indications immediately after the game 5 loss was that he was going to return. Sutter played with fire with his personality. Lemaire had the matches in his hand, but never lit them. I sense Lou is now going to go with someone who has the matches .. knows how to light them .. and has a can of lighter fluid in this back pocket to ignite this team when it needs it. That is what was missing, especially in the playoffs! During the year we saw the symptoms: 1) failure to clear the puck off the boards, 2) Giving up goals late in the periods and games, 3) failure to get big bodies in the shooting lanes to create some havoc in front of the oppositions's net, 4) a passive penalty kill that allowed to much possession time, 5) no right hand shooting d-man that is so much more important than people realize, and 6) way, way, way too many shots "wide of the net!" I expect Marty (certainly not his fault) back in the net, but his time reduced by about 15% next year; turn over 50% of the defense, but Martin will stay! Expect Salvadore to be gone; the offense is OK, but we need a stud in center .. and 4th line players who can make a difference .. and bang some bodies .. but still can play the game! Eventually, this wore on the top 6-8 forwards … they can't do it all! Just put the darn puck in the net!

During the 1990s, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) established and led the Metropolitan Area Standards Review Project with the purpose of reviewing and, if necessary, revising the 1990 metropolitan area standards. The project culminated in new standards for the first decade of the 21st century.
The December 27, 2000 Federal Register included a notice (see below) announcing OMB's adoption of Standards for Defining Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas. These standards replaced and superseded the 1990 standards for defining metropolitan areas. The new standards reflected decisions reached by OMB on recommendations by the interagency Metropolitan Area Standards Review Committee and in response to public comment on those recommendations. OMB applied the new standards to Census 2000 data and announced area definitions on June 6, 2003.Final MASRP Notice Published in the Federal Register
Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Areas: New Approaches to Geographical Definition
The approaches presented in the Federal Register Vol. 63, No. 244 drew upon work that began in the first half of the 1990s with four commissioned studies suggesting alternative approaches to defining metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. These studies were published in September 1995 by the Census Bureau's Population Division as Working Paper No. 12, Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Areas: New Approaches to Geographical Definition.

It's Going Through You
August 22, 2013 § 9 Comments
Late last night (well, late for me, which means the top of the eight o'clock hour had passed) I was driving home from further northern Vermont, where I'd been reporting a fairly ambitious magazine feature I'm working on. As is my wont, I was listening to the radio as I drove, which happened to be transmitting an interview with the front fellow of Gogol Bordello. I can't say I'm a fan or anything; I'm not familiar enough with their music, although I did get a kick out of the tunes they played on air. Their work is infused with a likable whimsy, and if there's anything I like, it's likable whimsy. You know, because it's likable. And whimsical.
But it wasn't the music that struck me. Rather, it was the interview with Eugene Hutz. More specifically, it was these few sentences, which I casually jotted down on the back of a $100 bill as I hauled ass down I91 at 83 mph. I jest. In truth, I just transcribed them onto my laptop from the podcast while sitting on my ass.
"I thought that the focal point of where human potential goes wrong is that people are too busy living in the future or in the past on a regular basis. That's what's going on around. And it kind of deprives people of their vital energy. It actually creates duality, polarity in their mind which steals all their energy. And a very little amount of people are able to sustain that consciousness of presence here and now…. Life appears to be some dark, unsolvable mystery to most people. They're like 'well, how does it go? Where is it going?'"
"It's going right through you, right now. It's here."
You know how every once in a while you hear a nugget of wisdom that makes you sit up and take notice? In truth, it was probably something you knew already but had managed, in the small, swirling chaos that defines almost all of our days, to lay down. It might even have been something that you'd once promised yourself to never forget, but of course you nonetheless had. This is not your fault, by the way: In the market driven economy of modern America, there is little encouragement to remember what really matters, because if you remember what really matters, you become so terribly much less susceptible to those feeding on your forgetfulness.
"It's going right through you, right now. It's here."
I have that feeling every so often. I suppose it's really what I was writing about yesterday: That sense of my being present in my life in a way that I yearn to carry with me through all my waking hours but for a multitude of reasons regularly let slip through my fingers. Moving the cows is like that: I'm there. I'm not thinking about things that happened yesterday, or even last month; I'm not thinking about things that will happen tomorrow, or even next year: Gotta finish backfilling, gotta finish this story, gotta fix this, gotta fix that, gottagottagotta.
The other thing that happened yesterday is that a friend emailed me a link to a blog written by a 36-year-old man who is dying. And not just dying, but writing about dying, and writing about it really, really well.
His story is sad but liberating and in a strange way does a similar thing for me that your writing does, is what my friend wrote, and at first, I had no freakin' idea what he might be talking about. What connection could possibly be made between my ramblings and the unbelievably courageous and poignant self-told tale of a young man with only weeks or maybe months left to live?
It was Eugene Hutz's words that made me understand, because they reminded me that when I'm at my best as a person – and, I strongly suspect, as a writer – I am blessed by that sense of my life going through me. Of being right now. Of being here. I have written about it before; actually, I suspect I have written about it many, many times. I just haven't always been aware that's what I was writing about. Perhaps, in my strongest writing, an element of that sense filters through, like sunlight coming through a dirty kitchen window. Maybe that's not the best analogy in the world, but still I wonder if that is the similarity my friend speaks of, because how can you read the words of a young man in the latter stages of terminal cancer and not be visited by the very idea that Hutz speaks of: "It's going right through you, right now. It's here."
I have no idea if Ezra Caldwell – the fellow who writes the aforementioned blog – is blessed by that sense. And even if he is, he may not think of it as being blessed, and who could blame him for that? The feeling of life going through you, of being right now and right here may well lose some of its appeal when it becomes achingly apparent that the end of that feeling is in sight. I hope that's not the case – not only for him, but for us all, because of course the end is in sight for everyone. It's just in varying degrees of focus.
Whatever the case, and as occurs from time-to-time, I had the sense yesterday of forces converging in my life in ways that could be seen as entirely anecdotal and coincidental. A link to a blog. A radio interview. Little pieces of near-nothingness. Small splashes in the pool of my existence.
But damned if I don't think I might just ride the wave of those splashes and see where it takes me.
§ 9 Responses to It's Going Through You
The past doesn't exist. It has passed and gone.
The future is hypothetical.
That leaves the here and now.
You and your thought provoking posts ;)
I will only add that you should take the time to check out Gogol Bordello, I find their music very fitting for certain times/places. Also, I was always amazed of Joseph Campbell's ability to focus a large concept down to a kernel of wisdom. One of my favorites…
"I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive."
You write (really well) about your experiences of being alive. This for me is the reason why I dig reading what you share here.
I know those "gotta do's" too well! Hard to unlearn when you were rewarded for much of your life for being a planner and having nice, neat little short-term and long-term goals set out for the rest of your life. Ugh! I rebel against this so much now and hope not to pass the "living in the future" mentality on to my boys. I had a hard time becoming a mother and I lived for a long time knowing I would be happy when I finally had children. Turned out to be VERY true but sad to think I also spent a lot of time just being so sad and not just being alive. I think that was my big lesson and one I wouldn't care to repeat but am very grateful for. Funny to think our home is named "Grateful Farm" and I was so stuck in the "I'll be happy when" syndrome for a while and was not really grateful for a whole lot (intellectually, I was but not in my heart where it really matters.) To name my home that must mean I had it in me, it just had to be tested and revealed in a new way. I'll remember these quotes and pass them on. Thanks!
Be Here Now
great post! Funny enough I heard the teaser for that interview on CBC Radio, the show 'Q'.
Thank you for the post. I am going through cancer treatment now (literally now-I'm getting my last chemo infusion as I write this) and I read Ezra's entire post at work (I love my job-I did the same with your blog-read the whole thing at work in two days.) Talk about a change in perspective. The entire thing was amazing.
Anyway, thank you for the last post. Thank you for reminding us….again.
[…] of this blog that have inspired us both. These are experts from three articles (here, here, and here) that articulate so much of what I've come to love about farming, and want to experience more […]

Last time I showed you my genome quilt I had pinned about half of the HSTs onto my very high-tech "design wall" (which is only just big enough). All of the HSTs have been pinned on now, and have been rotated to fit the correct orientations for my chosen sequence
(Image is clickable to see it bigger)
What do you think? How does the gradient look? Are there any bits that look like they could be "blended" better?
Once I'm completely happy with the layout I can start stitching it together...

Bornstein Amphitheater | 9am – 10am
In Greek mythology, the immortal Prometheus was said to have been punished for theft by Zeus who sent an eagle to feed on his liver every day only to have it grow again at night. Today, the ability of the human liver to regenerate itself is a well established fact. But what about our other organs? Can we look forward to a day when amputees are able to grow new limbs or human kidneys can repair themselves preventing renal failure? In this session Drs. Whited and Handin delve into the secrets of the salamander and the zebrafish and how they can help us unlock the potential of organ regeneration in humans.

Our lab uses zebrafish to study organ regeneration and stem cell biology. One of our latest projects has been the identification and characterization of an adult stem resident in the zebrafish kidney which can reconstitute entire nephrons. We have also shown that the number of resident stem cells declines as zebrafish age and that renal stem cell number is epigenetically regulated by histone deacetylase inhibitors. Our long-term goal is to learn how to "educate" mammalian kidneys so that they can generate new nephrons in post-natal life.
Jessica Whited, MD
Axolotls are salamanders with amazing regenerative abilities in key body parts such as limbs. While axolotls can regenerate entire limbs with perfection throughout life, very little molecular details have been uncovered about how this process happens. Dr. Whited is dedicated to understanding how axolotl limb regeneration occurs with the hope that this understanding will lead to crucial insights into why mammals, including humans, do not regenerate well. Elucidating the fundamental differences may lead to the future development of therapies designed to improve regenerative prospects in humans.

Dr. Humphreys is Director of the Laboratory of Translational Research in Kidney Repair. He is an Established Investigator of the American Heart Association and a member of the American Society of Clinical Investigation. His laboratory investigates kidney injury and regeneration with a focus on stem cell and regenerative medicine approaches.

COLUMBIA -- Utilities across South Carolina are reporting about 55,000 customers are still without power nearly a week after a crippling ice storm.
Most of the outages are with six of the state's 20 electric cooperatives, which serve mostly rural areas. The co-ops reported about 45,000 customers without electricity at their last report Sunday evening.
Gov. Nikki Haley planned a conference call with the co-ops Monday to offer any help she can to get power back to everyone.
South Carolina Electric & Gas reported 10,000 outages Monday morning and Duke Energy was down to just 750 customers without power.
Most of the remaining outages are in Aiken, Clarendon, Florence, Georgetown and Williamsburg counties.

Renting or Buying a Breast Pump
Did You Rent or Buy a Breast Pump?
by babysugar
Like us on Facebook
If it's tough to stomach spending a good chunk of change on a gorgeous crib or a comfy glider, it may be doubly painful to add a $300 breast pump to an expectant mother's checklist. Many women choose to rent a pump instead of purchasing their own as the item is nonrefundable and pricey. If used enough, however, families might reap the financial benefits of storing breast milk.

I neither buy it nor rented it, i got it gifted, it was ameda ultra, my mother in law gifted me just two weeks back, she's the best mother in law in town!

I bought one for my first and used it through him and my second, then bought another for my third. Considering the first went through two years of pumping three times a day M-F, I got more than my money's worth, so I bought the same model again. And you can sterilize the parts that touch the milk or just buy a whole new outer set for a lot less than a new pump. Renting can be very effective as well.

I bought a really expensive Medela Pump 'N Style and then ended up not being able to breastfeed (a preemie combined with a VERY low supply). I pumped for a while and supplemented with formula until I realized that I was missing tons of bonding with my son while I sat and pumped with a machine. We switched to exclusive formula and made mom and baby much happier!

I have the Avent Isis to use while I pump at home and my PISa stays at work. I have been exclusively breastfeeding my son for a months now. I could definitely use an upgrade!
macgirl 6 years
I was given one (actually the same model in the picture) as a "hand me down". If you buy new parts, basically all the parts that touch the breasts including the tubing it isn't like what anonymous said. I also gave the pump to a new young mom and purchased the parts for her. The parts alone are like $90 but it is such a good pump. Hopefully she'll have more kids or pass it on in the same tradition.

don't be silly - there's nothing wrong with renting one. they are different units, hospital grade ones that have all the pieces that touch breast milk exterior so they can be sanitized. what is really wrong is when people get a second-hand regular grade unit thinking they can clean it, and i know people do it.

I couldn't possibly imagine renting one....that just doesn't seem right....mine was given to me for my shower.
Jules1976 6 years
I actually bought 2. I kept one at home, and one at the office. Expensive, yes, but it kept me from lugging it back and forth, and the inevitable forgetting it somewhere. Mommy-brain is very real, people!
bluepuppybites 6 years
My sister got me mine for my shower, and was very grateful. My boyfriend now husband just couldn't understand why I would want to spend $300 on a pump, he didn't realize that it would pay for itself vs the cost of buying formula.

The astonishing novel Brave New World, originally published in 1932, presents Aldous Huxley's vision of the future -- of a world utterly transformed. Through the most efficient scientific and psychological engineering, people are genetically designed to be passive and therefore consistently useful to the ruling class. This powerful work of speculative fiction sheds a blazing critical light on the present and is considered to be Aldous Huxley's most enduring masterpiece.
The nonfiction work Brave New World Revisited, first published in 1958, is a fascinating work in which Huxley uses his tremendous knowledge of human relations to compare the modern-day world with his prophetic fantasy envisioned in Brave New World, including the threats to humanity, such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion.
About the Author
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) was an English writer and editor of Oxford Poetry. He interests included parapsychology and philosophical mysticism, and he is known in many academic circles as a leader of modern thought. He is the recipient of both the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature. His many works include Brave New World, Themes and Variations, and The Genius and the Goddess.
Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011) is the author of God Is Not Great, Hitch-22, and Why Orwell Matters.
