Great service! From start to finish made my day a lot easier to order and even ADD on to my order without extra charges. Will use again when on vacation!
Our first time using Garden Grocer and we will absolutely use them again. Prices were reasonable, very good selection, and delivery was early and easy. Wonderful!
Within 5 minutes of submitting my order i had a representative call me to confirm my order and explain the next steps (my order would be delivered, i did not have to be at the hotel and they would keep refrigerated items together) She was very pleasant and helpful. When my order was delivered I received a text so I knew it arrived The service was great and honestly better than expected!

US foreign policy: President defends his 'Obama doctrine' where military intervention is a last resort
Mr Obama is confounding impatient critics by failing to intervene in the situations in Syria and Ukraine
Rupert Cornwell
Known for his commentary on international relations and US politics, Rupert Cornwell also contributes obituaries and occasionally even a column for the sports pages. With The Independent since its launch in 1986, he was the paper's first Moscow correspondent - covering the collapse of the Soviet Union – during which time he won two British Press Awards. Previously a foreign correspondent for the Financial Times and Reuters, he has also been a diplomatic correspondent, leader writer and columnist, and has served as Washington bureau editor. In 1983 he published God's Banker, about Roberto Calvi, the Italian banker found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge.
Wednesday 30 April 2014
Was it less than five years ago that Barack Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize, thrust upon him by a Scandinavian committee convinced, like so many others, that this cool and articulate new American president - so different from his cowboy predecessor - would make world a better, more peaceful place?
Scan the headlines this spring of 2014, and that hope would seem to lie in ruins. And this week that same American president, older, wiser and indisputably greyer, was goaded into delivering, from the distant shores of the Philippines, a ringing inpromptu defence of a US foreign policy where everything, virtually simultaneously, seems to be going wrong.
The peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians, so painstakingly fostered by Secretary of State John Kerry have effectively collapsed. The Syrian nightmare continues, and President Assad whose demise Mr Obama once so confidently predicted, grows stronger. Yet Washington, implored to intervene, stays on the sidelines.
Neighbouring Iraq meanwhile, from which Mr Obama withdrew the last American troops in 2011, is descending anew into sectarian violence that, coupled with Syria, might plunge the entire region into turmoil. In Ukraine, the most serious European crisis since the depths of the Cold War has erupted, as a Russian president openly taunts his US counterpart. And last but not least, China grows ever more assertive, to the alarm of Washington's allies in Asia - ever more clearly a rival, not partner, of the Western superpower.
Nonetheless, Mr Obama declared in Manila, there was an "Obama doctrine." It was cautious and incremental, and saw military intervention as the last, not the first resort. This approach to world affairs might not be "sexy," he continued, using baseball metaphors to explain. The goal was to avoid errors. Foreign policy progress consisted of "singles and doubles…. every once in a while we may be able to hit a home run."

The problem alas, is that in today's impatient world of sound bites and 24/7 chatter, foreign policy is judged solely in terms of home runs and clearcut failures. True, this has been a bad spell, and in some respects the fruit of Mr Obama's own shortcomings: his inexperience, a perhaps naive belief that no problem is so intractable it will not yield to reason, and a seeming failure to grasp that power lies largely in the perception of power.
These difficulties are compounded by the domestic climate in which he operates. For one thing, second term presidents tend to have less clout. For another, old conventions have died. Once partisanship in Washington, "stopped at the water's edge," in the words of Arthur Vandenberg, the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee who in the early Cold War worked closely with Harry Truman, a Democratic president.
But in hyperpartisan 2014 an Arthur Vandenberg is unthinkable. The same Republicans who accuse Mr Obama of being a quasi-dictator at home lambast him for pusillanimity abroad. "Why is it that everyone is so eager to use military force," the president retorted in Manila, "after a decade of war at enormous costs to our troops and to our budget?"
It should furthermore be noted that "everyone" does not include the voters who re-elected Mr Obama 18 months ago. After Iraq and Afghanistan, Americans are weary of foreign engagement, especially military engagement. If he did opt for the use of force, in Syria or Ukraine say, his margin for error would be virtually non-existent.
But that is not the Obama way - and he took on his critics head-on over both crises. In Syria, even advocates of US action are not calling for US boots on the ground. Well what did they want? Ditto Ukraine. No-one was calling for American troops to be sent to Kiev, but some wanted to arm the Ukrainians.
"Do people actually think," the president asked, "that sending some additional arms… could potentially deter the Russian army? Or are we more likely to deter them by applying the sort of pressure, diplomatic and economic, that we're applying?" The answer, according to the Obama doctrine, is self-evident. Moreover, precisely that may be happening over Iran, and the US-led efforts to so secure a peaceful deal to rein in Iran's nuclear programme.
But the headlines are not pretty - and they reflect two truths about America and its foreign policy. The first has long been obvious. In an increasingly multipolar world, America's relative power, economic and even military, is declining. No longer does it have the power to resolve every crisis, if it ever did. To the irritation and frustration of his critics, Mr Obama gets this.
Second, foreign policy unfolds over time, often with unforeseen consequences. Maybe Vladimir Putin regards this American president as a soft touch. But the policies which have stoked Mr Putin's grievances - the expansion of Nato into Russia's backyard and the attempt to marginalise a weakened Moscow - were put in place by Bill Clinton and George W. Bush before him. The Obama version of Cold War 'containment' of Moscow, reinforced by sanctions, may work. But first even his admirers will have to wait, the hardest thing of all.
Success or failure? The problem areas
Middle East: The US can't be blamed for collapse of the peace process: but should it have invested so much effort on a problem that had already defied 60 years of attempts to solve it? 5/10
Syria: If there was to be effective US intervention, it should have happened long ago. As it is, President Assad seems to be getting the upper hand. 3/10
Iran: Just conceivably, a major success in the making. Both sides want a nuclear deal. Sanctions are really biting, and the negotiations over curtailing Teheran's enrichment programme are for real, not a charade. Time will tell. 7/10
Iraq: US troops have left, as promised. But sectarian violence grows, ever clearer proof of the folly of ill-thought-through military intervention by the US. 5/10
Russia: Maybe Mr Obama has compounded his problems with Vladimir Putin, but could any US president have done better? 4/10
North Korea: Kim Jong-Un appears even more erratic and unpredictable than his father and grandfather. But if anyone has real leverage on Pyongyang, it is not the US but China. 5/10
China and the pivot to Asia: Obama seeks to switch focus to economically vibrant Asia and its emerging superpower. But events elsewhere get in the way. 5/10

Controversy after SC mayor selects new police chief without discussion
Council members are angered there was no national search, no review committee and no recommendation process
Post & Courier
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey has chosen a retired law enforcement veteran who is now a chaplain to be the city's new police chief, but the mayor is facing criticism for picking someone he knows without conducting a broad search or involving others in the decision.
Police chief is a high-profile and often controversial job in racially diverse North Charleston, which was named one of the most dangerous cities in the country just five years ago before making strides to bring violent crime rates down.

I had no idea that this was going to be a song. It reminded me of stuff by Weebl. I guess any nonsensical animated music video is going to remind me of him. It's weird, because last night, I actually had this rash or something on my butt. It wasn't near the actual anus though. It's kind of acting up again, though probably only because I saw this and am worrying about it.
Okay, too much information. I really thought the animation wasn't that good. It just seemed low quality, but the rest was pretty nice, and it was somewhat of an original idea. I just suggest you brush up on your flash skills because it doesn't look very good. To think, I only thought dogs had those.

The standard of packaging for a product for £80 was not good. It was bought for a gift but the box looked like it had been opened several times and sellotaped over and over.

... got some heavy duty washing that needs to be done – we were planning on doing the laundry when we are next in a marina - which after researching is some time off.
The marina in Mahon is asking for a minimum stay of 3 days and the charge band is the highest so we are looking at alternatives.

Lovely coastline
... now, except there's a couple of holes in the sail which we need to fix.

The state Department of Public Health is temporarily closing shellfish growing waters in Mobile and Baldwin County. In a release Monday, Jeff McCool of the Alabama Department of Public Health said waterways will close because recent heavy rainfall may have led to bacterial contamination of oyster beds. Impacted waterways include Cedar Point, Portersville Bay, Grand Bay, Heron Bay, Dauphin Island Bay and Bon Secour Bay.
State health officials say a mysterious respiratory illness has left five people hospitalized and two dead in southeast Alabama. In a statement, Alabama Department of Public Health spokeswoman Mary McIntyre says seven people have been admitted to hospitals with a fever, cough and shortness of breath. Two of the seven have died and McIntyre says the department and the Centers for Disease Control Respiratory Laboratory are analyzing lab tests from all seven.
The Alabama Department of Public Health has announced the state's teen birth rate has reached a historic low.
Officials say the teen birth rate in 2011 fell to a low of 20.9 per 1,000 women ages 10 to 19. State health officials say the figure translates to about 6,700 births to teen mothers.
State health officials say babies born to teenage mothers account for about 11.3 percent of all births in the state. The 2011 rate is a 58 percent decline from the state's peak in teen births in 1973, and a 32 percent decrease since 2000.
State Health Officer Don Williamson says Alabama's flu season started earlier than a year ago and there are more cases. But he said it's not out of line with some of the busiest years during the last decade.
A program designed to help Alabamians lose weight is kicking off its seventh year.
The state Department of Public Health is encouraging four-member teams to start forming for Scale Back Alabama. The teams will weigh in the week of Jan. 19-25 and weigh out the week of April 6-12. The winners will be announced April 26.
There is no charge to enter. Teams where each member sheds at least 10 pounds are eligible for a random drawing where the first prize is $4,000, the second prize $2,000 and the third prize $1,000.
Alabama's public school students are taking part in a new physical fitness assessment this year, replacing a series of tests that had not been updated since their parents were in school.
Citing a need to refocus on the fitness of the state's children, the new Alabama Physical Fitness Assessment rolled out this fall in public schools. The tests are required for all students in grades 2 through 12 and replace the old President's Challenge Fitness Test, which was adopted in 1984.
Alabama's top health officer says state Medicaid is facing a major funding shortfall.
The director of the Alabama Department of Public Health, Dr. Don Williamson, says federal changes will add $30 million to the state's Medicaid funding needs for 2014.
The Anniston Star (http://bit.ly/TdPa3M ) reports that state officials didn't know about the additional cost when voters approved using $437 million from a state fund to plug the Medicaid budget in September.
The public now has access to some of the information reported by Alabama hospitals about healthcare-associated infections.
The Legislature passed a law in 2009 requiring hospitals to report infection information to the Alabama Department of Public Health. Now, the department has started putting that information online at: http://www.adph.org/hai
The online reporting is beginning with a few types of infections, including surgical site infections of the colon and abdomen and catheter-associated urinary tract infections.
Alabama health officials have contacted four of the six additional Alabamians who received injections of steroid medicine from a specialty pharmacy linked to a meningitis outbreak. The state's deputy director of medical affairs, Dr. Tom Miller, said Wednesday that two are fine. Two are showing symptoms and will be seen by their physician to see if the symptoms are ordinary or something more serious. The Department of Public Health is trying to reach the other two patients. The six live in Alabama, but were treated in Florida.

Guest Post: Amazon vs. The New York Times
Our Guest Post today comes from Lawrence M. Miller, at http://www.ManagementMeditations.com
Last week the New York Times published an important article on Amazon and its very competitive, demanding culture. (Jay and Barry's OM Blog summarized the issue on August 18th). I think the Times piece (http://www.nytimes.com/…/inside-amazon-wrestling-big-ideas-…) and the response to it from Jeff Bezos are important reading. Here is my take:
Amazon has grown in the highly competitive Internet and technology environment and is daily competing to bring new products and services to market. They have succeeded so far because of the intensity of their culture. They have been in the conquering "barbarian" stage of expansion and they are deliberately trying to hold on to that culture beyond the point at which it normally drifts into a more stable and comfortable state. Culturally, it is still a start up! And start-ups, fighting for their lives and to grab a piece of market territory that they can call their own, live at a level of intensity that makes many extremely uncomfortable. They are at war!
My guess is that Amazon is straddling the Barbarian and Builder/Explorer stage of my life cycle model. This is a good place to be in an external environment that is filled with rapidly emerging competitors and changing technologies. If you aren't conquering you are probably about to be conquered!
Managing the culture of a company is like tuning a stringed instrument: over tighten and it makes a squealing sound; under tighten and it sounds dead. What is too much pressure for one person is not for another. If a company wants to grow, it needs to maintain that "creative dissatisfaction" that drives employees to innovate and perform at a high level. On the other hand, it wants a culture that does not drive away the most creative and capable. Amazon could not have succeeded as it has if its culture was driving away its most talented. It can't be that bad!
OM in the News: Wendy's Blackberry Supply Chain Troubles
It will have taken three years and a search involving more than 30 growers for Wendy's to procure enough blackberries for a new salad it plans to offer next summer, reports The Wall Street Journal (Aug.19, 2015). "It's been a slow, painful journey for us," says the head of procurement. "We spent 14 months scavenging around the industry, looking at more suppliers than we ever have." Wendy's quest for the nearly 2 million pounds of blackberries it will need to embellish a seasonal salad at its 6,500 North American restaurants illustrates the challenges large chains are trying to digest as they seek to keep up with growing demand for fresh ingredients.
Wendy's installed salad bars in restaurants in 1979, but the toppings have grown from simple tomatoes and croutons to include strawberries, blueberries, almonds and edamame. And it has accelerated the pace of product introductions, with seven new salads in the past two years. Fresh ingredients present a challenge for big chains because of their sprawling supply chains and rapid, repeatable preparation processes.
Adding blackberries posed Wendy's most difficult supply-chain challenge ever. Most blackberries are sold to grocery stores, leaving little supply for restaurants. To meet Wendy's needs, growers had to plant extra bushes, which take three years to produce mature fruit. Wendy's normally reviews two to five suppliers for each type of produce it uses, but the company went through more than 30 before finding a pair that could supply enough blackberries. To maintain consistency, Wendy's sends franchisees instruction cards dictating how the berries should be washed, cut and placed on the salads. Restaurants also need to ensure worker safety for all the slicing fresh produce requires—workers must wear chainmail mesh gloves—and to ensure the added prep work doesn't slow service.
Classroom discussion questions:
- Are other fast food chains facing similar supply chain issues?
- Why are fruits and vegetables so important in restaurants today?
Video Tip: Starting Your Fall Semester With Videos
Starting about 20 years ago, with our 6th edition, Jay and I began developing a series of company video and cases. They have ranged from manufacturers of potato chips, boats, and ambulances, to service firms like a hospital, an NBA team, Red Lobster, and Hard Rock. The videos are brief (5 – 12 minutes) and tie directly to the content of a specific text chapter. There may be as many as seven videos on one company (such as Arnold Palmer Hospital or Hard Rock Café) and students seem to like following one or two organizations throughout the text/semester. We are very pleased, that over the years, our 35 videos have won many awards, including 2 Silver Addy's for the best short video, selected from 10,000's of entries each year. We are even up for an Emmy award for one of our Orlando Magic videos!
I have always started the first week of the semester with one or both of the following: Hard Rock Café: OM in Services (8 minutes) and Frito-Lay: OM in Manufacturing (7 minutes). The first shows how a service firm that is known throughout the world approaches some of the 10 OM decisions around which we structure the text. This firm is especially interesting because it is a lot more than a restaurant. We show that Hard Rock makes almost the same revenue from its small retail shops as it does from the food side of the house.
The second video provides a perfect contrast to Hard Rock and makes for a great class discussion on how manufacturers differ from service firms. Frito-Lay is also a product everyone knows. But this company does not let outsiders in to tour, and has proprietary processes that even we were not allowed to film. This video reviews how Frito-Lay deals with all 10 of the decisions that OM managers have to make.
I hope our video series helps get your Fall, 2015 semester off to a successful start. And there is more to come, as we introduce five new videos featuring OM at Alaska Airlines in January, 2016!
OM in the News: Shell Oil's Artic Project Gamble
"In a windowless conference room in Anchorage," writes BusinessWeek (Aug. 5-12, 2015), "a dozen Royal Dutch Shell employees report on the highest-profile oil project in the multinational's vast global portfolio." Warmed by mid-July temperatures, Arctic ice in the Chukchi Sea, northwest of the Alaskan mainland, is receding. Storms are easing; helicopter flights will soon resume. Underwater volcanoes are dormant. "That's good news for us," said Shell's top Alaska executive.
Overhead, a bank of video monitors displays radar images of an armada of Shell vessels converging on a prospect called Burger J. Company geologists believe that beneath Burger J—70 miles offshore and 800 miles from the Anchorage command center—lie up to 15 billion barrels of oil. An additional 11 billion barrels are thought to be buried due east under the Beaufort Sea. All told, Arctic waters cover 13% of the world's undiscovered petroleum–enough to supply the U.S. for more than a decade.
Surprise lurks in the Chukchi, whose frigid waters span from Alaska to Siberia. Logistical and legal obstacles have repeatedly delayed the Arctic initiative, on which Shell is spending more than $1 billion a year—more than $7 billion so far and counting. The single well in Chukchi that Shell aims to excavate this summer could be the most expensive on earth, and it hasn't yielded its first barrel.
Activists have sued; judges have intervened. In 2010, work stopped when the Obama administration temporarily suspended offshore drilling throughout the U.S. Back in action in 2012, Shell suffered a maritime fiasco when ship engines conked out and a massive drill barge ran aground, requiring a Coast Guard rescue. Even against this challenging economic backdrop, Shell won't postpone or downsize its Arctic dreams. The offshore Alaska field has the potential to be multiple times larger than the largest prospects in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. But to put it mildly, Shell is assuming immense project management operational risks to drill in the Arctic.
Classroom discussion questions:
- Why are project management tools so critical to Shell?
- Why is Shell carrying out such a vast project?
Teaching Tip: The Critical First Day of Class
There's only one first day of class. Faculty Focus (Aug. 19, 2015) provides some ideas for taking advantage of opportunities that are not available in the same way on any other day of the course.
- A good introduction to OM provides a bit of background; it builds connections by identifying shared experiences and common interests. The details offered in a good introduction motivate continued conversation.
- The first day gives you the chance to explain why OM matters to you. Of all the potential majors, you chose one in this field—how did that happen?
- The operations course develops important concrete analytic skills. The first day is a good time to let students know what they will be able to do—or do better—as a consequence of this course.
- Courses have been known to change lives. Most don't, but OM is probably the most dynamic subject in all of business.
- Talk about your commitment to teaching–and your favorite things about teaching.
- You can talk about your commitment to student learning.
- It's a chance to find out about your students in the course. This can build constructive relationships and help establish concrete ways to connect.
- OM is a new course and the beginning of a new academic year. You and your students want the same things on the first day—a good course, a positive constructive learning environment, the chance to succeed.
- Students may look passive and not especially interested, but don't be fooled. On that very first day, get students connected with each other and the course content.
- It's the day in the course when it's easiest for the teacher to genuinely smile. You have only good news to share, so let them hear it.
OM in the News: Want an 80-Hour Workweek? Try Amazon!
On Monday mornings in Seattle, recruits line up for an orientation intended to catapult them into Amazon's singular way of working. They are told to forget the "poor habits" they learned at previous jobs. When they "hit the wall" from the unrelenting pace, there is only one solution: "Climb the wall." To be the best Amazonians they can be, they should be guided by the leadership principles, 14 rules inscribed on laminated cards. At Amazon, workers are encouraged to tear apart one another's ideas in meetings, toil long and late, and held to standards that the company boasts are "unreasonably high." The internal phone directory instructs colleagues on how to send secret feedback to one another's bosses.
Most of the newcomers filing in on Mondays will not be there in a few years. Losers leave or are fired in annual cullings of the staff — "purposeful Darwinism," says former HR director. Some workers who suffered from cancer, miscarriages and other personal crises said they had been evaluated unfairly rather than given time to recover. "When you're not able to give your absolute all, 80 hours a week, they see it as a major weakness," stated one former employee. "Amazon is in the vanguard of where technology wants to take the modern office: more nimble and more productive, but harsher and less forgiving," writes The New York Times (Aug. 16, 2015).
"You can work long, hard or smart, but at Amazon.com you can't choose two out of three," says Jeff Bezos. If Amazon becomes the country club like Microsoft, "We would die," he adds. The firm retains new HQ workers in part by requiring them to repay a part of their signing bonus if they leave within a year, and a portion of their hefty relocation fees if they leave within 2 years. The median employee tenure is 1 year, among the briefest in the Fortune 500. Only 15% of employees have been at the company more than 5 years.
Classroom discussion questions:
- Would the Amazon model work in the typical firm?
- Why do employees seek out Amazon jobs?
OM in the News: The Deadly Ice Cream Recall
My teenage son is a Blue Bell ice cream junkie. He polishes off about two 1/2 gallon containers of vanilla (why vanilla, of all flavors?!) a week–or at least he did until all Blue Bell was pulled off the shelves in April. Federal records, reports The Wall Street Journal (Aug. 5, 2015), show that Blue Bell failed to follow practices recommended that might have prevented listeria contamination of ice cream at its plants. The recall came after health officials tied its ice cream to 3 deaths in Kansas since the start of 2014, and additional illnesses elsewhere.
The Food and Drug Administration states that sanitation problems that created refuges for listeria have persisted at Blue Bell since at least 2009. Beginning in 2013, Blue Bell repeatedly found listeria in its Oklahoma facility—including on floors, a drain and at equipment that fills half-gallon containers—indicating the company didn't do enough to identify the underlying cause or eliminate the source.
The FDA advises companies to regularly test for listeria on surfaces that touch food. It also recommends testing the food itself. But records show Blue Bell didn't test its ice cream, or surfaces that touched it, despite finding listeria traces in the plant.
Until recently, listeria in ice cream was uncommon, though not unheard of. Neither of the two largest U.S. ice cream producers— Edy's and Ben & Jerry's—have had to recall their products due to contamination. However, three smaller ones recently have recalled products because of listeria contamination, including Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, which had to shut production twice. So Blue Bell's problems reflect broader complacency in the ice-cream industry about listeria. Many believe the frozen dessert is at lower risk of being associated with infections from listeria than some other packaged foods, in part because the bacteria doesn't grow when food is frozen.
But as we discuss in Chapter 17, maintenance isn't just about keeping facilities clean and machines working. It also involves management and employee awareness and involvement.
Classroom discussion questions:
- What did Blue Bell do wrong?
- What would quality expert Philip Crosby (see Chapter 6) say about the cause of the outbreak?

Comments Thread For: Sulaiman To Canelo: Vanes-Lara Winner Next, Not Floyd
Despite current WBC super welterweight champion Saul Canelo Alvarez's yearning desire to fight either five time World Champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. or the Middleweight Champion Sergio Maravilla Martinez, the President of the WBC, Jose Sulaiman, has stated that Sauls next fight has to be against Erislandy Lara or Vanes Martirosyan. This will depend who wins the final eliminator between those two great super welterweight fighters. Lara and Vanes collide on Saturday night in an HBO televised main event at the Wynn in Las Vegas.

Oh snap, the biggest hypejob in boxing is about to get derailed next year. Hopefully neither Lara or Vanes go into the fight thinking about fighting Canelo. They need to focus on the task at hand. With that said, I still kinda don't believe Sulaiman but we will see...

You guys should have no doubt this is just for show.
No way wbc doesnt support canelo vs mayweather. they will probably get vanes or lara an interim title fight like they did with olosegun

Canelo doesn't give a f*** what the penguin has to say
Besides Pac, Canelo is the biggest money fight for floyd there is and would be his biggest payday
its also the easier fight because Canelo would get schooled by Lara

Pfft Canelo doesn't need that farce of a belt anyways .. He's already a big name and draw , he doesn't need to chase any big names they will go to him .. Sulaiman talks waay too much , he needs to shut up and stay in the background where he belongs

MONTPELIER, Vt. — The owner of Vermont's only nuclear power plant plans to move forward with a $60 million refueling this fall despite uncertainty about whether it will be able to operate beyond March, when its current operating license expires.
New Orleans-based Entergy Corp., which is locked in a legal battle with the state over the future of the Vermont Yankee plant, said the company's attorneys felt the company would eventually win its legal battle with the state.
Earlier this year, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued Vermont Yankee a 20-year license extension that would allow the plant to remain open until 2032. But the state, which claims it has jurisdiction over the plant's operation, wants the plant to close and has so far not acted on a state certification that it says is needed for Vermont Yankee to remain open.
Entergy's lawsuit challenging the state is scheduled to go to trial in September.
"Our board believes both the merits of the company's legal position and the record strongly support its decision to continue to trial scheduled to begin on Sept. 12," said Entergy CEO J. Wayne Leonard. "On that basis, the decision was made to move forward with the refueling as planned."
Saturday had been the deadline for ordering the fuel rods that will be used in the refueling, scheduled for October.
Vermont Yankee said Monday that about 120 fuel assemblies — or one-third of the reactor core — are replaced during a typical 30-day refueling outage.
