ISA's products and services are organized by technical topic – a selection of technologies, trends, and areas of focus that are relevant to your on-the-job performance:
The ISA67, Nuclear Power Plant Standards and ISA77, Fossil Power Plant Standards Committees are gearing up for meetings at the 57th Annual ISA Power Industry Division (POWID) Symposium, 1-6 June 2014 in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA. Due to tightened travel budgets and the ease of electronic meetings, the standards committees have held multiple web meetings and teleconferences during the past year. This ensures that the work of standards drafting and editing keeps pace and the completed standards are available for industry and end-users in a timely manner. The ISA67 and ISA77 meetings in June look to be well attended as the 2014 ISA POWID Symposium will draw power generation leaders across the globe for technical paper presentations and sessions on fossil fuels, nuclear power and renewable energy, keynote messages from industry leaders and ISA and industry training sessions.
The standards committee meetings will be held 4-5 June, with the main ISA67 and ISA77 meetings on Wednesday, 4 June at 1 p.m. – 3 p.m., and the ISA67 and ISA77 subcommittee meetings on Thursday, 5 June at 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Itemized schedules and agendas will be available closer to the date of the symposium. ISA67 is responsible for all ISA nuclear plant instrumentation and control (I&C) standards, and Chair Bob Queenan reports they are currently updating standards addressing transmitter installation, sensing lines, leak detection instrumentation, setpoints and uncertainty calculations, and performance monitoring. They are also considering standards on fiber optics, digital I&C, and a host of other topics. ISA77 also maintains an active schedule, presently reviewing documents covering instrument piping installation, boiler combustion controls, steam turbine controls, human-machine interface, I&C data tracking and reporting, turbine steam bypass systems, and unit/plant demand development. In addition, ISA77 Chair Dan Lee notes that through diligent monthly teleconferences, a new technical report on dynamic performance for power plant control systems is close to balloting.
New members to the nuclear and fossil power plant standards committees are always welcome. For more information on the ISA67 and ISA77 standards committees, contact Eliana Brazda at email@example.com.

President Barack Obama, seen this week at the White House, promised Americans again and again that "If you like your health-care plan, you'll be able to keep your health-care plan. Period." With the Oct. 1 launch of the "Obamacare" website, that has proven to be false. Hundreds of thousands of people nationwide are getting notices from their insurance providers saying their policies don't meet the standards set by the Affordable Care Act of 2010 and therefore are being canceled.

WASHINGTON -- Every disaster has its the moment of clarity. Physicist Richard Feynman dunks an O-ring into ice water and everyone understands instantly why the shuttle Challenger exploded. This week, the "Obamacare" O-ring froze for all the world to see: Hundreds of thousands of cancellation letters went out to people who had been assured a dozen times by the president that "If you like your health-care plan, you'll be able to keep your health-care plan. Period."
The cancellations lay bare three pillars of Obamacare: (a) mendacity, (b) paternalism and (c) subterfuge.

TIFF Best-Dressed Dude Of The Day: Eddie Redmayne
The UK actor won the most style points at the Hick premiere
Jennifer Campbell 0
Sorry, Gosling lovers. Day Two's Best-Dressed Dude at TIFF did wear clothes yesterday for the premiere of Drive, and he did look very handsome in a dark suit with subtle light flecks, paired with a white V-neck tee, but he had nothing, style-wise, on Eddie Redmayne. The British actor, in town promoting Hick along with wunderkind Chloe Moretz, won style points for his grey-and-pink checked suit with a slim textured tie and two-tone brogues. Aces.

scatterplot(data, format=agglomerated[n, l], ..)
statistical list(s)
number of points within the range determined by l
maximum length of one side of an agglomerated box
plot options
Important: The stats package has been deprecated. Use the superseding package Statistics instead.
The function scatterplot with the format parameter format=agglomerated of the subpackage stats[statplots] organizes data clusters into classes.
This type of plot is often used by cartographers, or when there is a large number of data points involved. The idea is that it is not necessary to have the detail of each individual point in a plot. Closely grouped points are plotted instead as one box.
When n or more points occur within a cube with side length l those points are replaced by the tightest fitting box possible. The tightest fitting box in one-dimension will always be a line. In higher dimensions, rectangles or boxes may be plotted.
When n2 or more points occur within the same cube described in the last paragraph, the box is emphasized by being plotted with thicker lines.
If n or l are zero, or unspecified, default values will be used. The default value of n is the cube root of the number of points, divided by the number of dimensions of the data (that is, number of statistical lists passed as parameters). The default value for l is one-tenth the range of the x-coordinate data.
Class data is converted to classmarks before generating the plot. Weighted data is accounted for. Missing data is ignored.
The command with(stats[statplots]) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal laughs with State Rep. Julie Stokes, R-Kenner on the side of the House floor after the House passed the state budget on Thursday.
- Filed Under
State lawmakers during the just-closed legislation session - and especially at the end - talked about how they showed their independence from Gov. Bobby Jindal in assembling a budget of their own.
He was called a "no-show" and remarks were made about how when he pulled his tax reform package on the first day of the session, he also parked his involvement in the whole affair. "Lame duck" was a term tossed around.
For most, this was a good thing. In past years, governors - especially Jindal - have been criticized for being just short of a dictator. ...

This post will help everybody to understand how the inter-VR routing works on Juniper SRX. While reading the below text, this please refer to the attached diagram side-by-side.
I have two routing instances on SRX, inside_vr & outside_vr. The X.X.X.X/24 route is learned via ospf from ex in the inside_vr routing table & the second instance's outside_vr table contains the default (0.0.0.0/0) route learned via ospf from mx. What filter (prefix-list) I should apply in order to allow only specific route must get exchange between inside_vr & outside_vr on SRX? i.e from inside_vr only X.X.X.X/24 route must be propagated & must be allowed to enter outside_vr & from outside_vr only 0.0.0.0/0 route must be propagated & must be allowed to enter inside_vr.
Once the inter-vr routing is through on SRX, I need to know what routing policy I need to configure on SRX in order to exchange the default (0.0.0.0/0) OSPF route in inside_vr learned via inter-vrf route exchange should be propagated to EX (on left side of SRX) & X.X.X.X/24 OSPF route in outside_vr learned via inter-vrf route exchange should be propagated to MX (on right side of SRX).
I have also made a sample configuration & it's very easy to understand, but i need to ensure that should be working or not. Please have a look
many many thanks.
I think looking at your post you want to leak routes from inet.0 to the other instance. The prefered method for this is a RIB group. Have you looked up examples on RIB-groups? There are many on this forum and other juniper sites.
No, i am leaking the routes between the inside_vr & outside_vr and i have to allow specific routes to be leaked betwn the 2 VRs. Well that's my requirement.
Hello Adam
Thanks for your reply. If you have any better way to do this then please share. From your reply it seems that it shoul dwork but the problem is that in the inside_vr i am seeing the deafult route as follows:
inside_vr.inet.0: 12 destinations, 12 routes (12 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both
0.0.0.0/0 *[Kernel/4294967294] 00:01:07
> to192.168.1.2 via ge-1/0
In the inside_vr it is showing the default route is rechable via ge-1/0 which lies in in outside_vr & also it is pointing the next-hop IP address of outside_vr. In the inside_vr it is not showing the next-hop for 0.0.0.0/0 as outside_vr. Is this normal???

Review by Mark Shekleton
Sound of My Voice 2011
Mark Shekleton's review:
Brit Marling is 2 for 2 in starring in and co-writing quality films telling human stories with sci-fi underpinnings (this, along with Another Earth). Sound of My Voice maintains a quick pace as it feeds you clues supporting both sides of the core mystery of the story. Just when you think you've got it figured out, it throws you back off course, keeping you guessing up to and even past the tense ending scene. Marling's Maggie shows a range of traits, appearing at times as a nurturing and supportive teacher, or a playful free-spirit, or a menacing and commanding authoritarion. Essentially what I'm saying is... MORE BRIT MARLING IN ALL THINGS PLEASE!

Original recipe yields 6 servings
Based on a 2,000 calorie dietSee full nutrition
Ready In
THIS IS THE RECIPE TO USE!! I used chopped green onion in place of the onion powder, and added a little extra seafood seasoning and worcestershire sauce, because my family favors those flavors ...
Super easy to make! And beyond delicious and this is a no-brainer but dont forget to bake the salmon before putting it in the dip =) goes great with french bread or any kind of crackers
One of the better smoked salmon spread recipes! I, too, used green onion instead of onion powder, and added sour cream. (I'm confused by the reviewer who says to bake the salmon, since smoked ...
Very nice and quick. I added 1/2 - 3/4 cup of sour cream as it seemed a little stiff for spreading.

AT&T: new 3G gear to be upgradable to 4G
updated 08:05 am EST, Wed February 10, 2010
AT&T says 2010 3G can move to LTE quickly
AT&T today shined extra light on its plans to move to 4G. As part of an extended deal with Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson to upgrade its network, every 3G cell site upgrade in 2010 will also be upgradable to the much faster Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard for 4G, whether it requires add-on hardware, new software or both. The move will let AT&T switch on 4G in these areas more quickly than it could if it had to completely replace the site.
The carrier also reiterated its network upgrade plans for the next two years, which will involve adding 7.2Mbps HSPA-based 3G through 2011 as well as early rollouts of LTE. AT&T expects to test 4G in two areas this year and to formally launch the service in 2011, though it hasn't said how many cities will have 4G when it goes live.
LTE is expected to be crucial to AT&T as it not only promises nearly 14 times more theoretical speed at 100Mbps but to greatly ease many of the congestion issues on the network. The standard depend on an all-IP networking system that doesn't depend on traditional cellular infrastructure and should provide not just more headroom but an easier time upgrading services in the future.
Verizon is expected to be the first with a fully public LTE network in the US, launching later this year in about 25 regions, but will likely be limited at first to data-only modems instead of full-fledged smartphones.

LONDON (ShareCast) - 1630: Close The FTSE made modest gains on Tuesday, boosted in part by news that average UK house prices increased by 2.1 per cent over the year to November (Xetra: A0Z24E - news) 2012. Meanwhile, inflation was unchanged in December as rising gas and electricity bills were offset by air fares easing and a drop in petrol prices. Limiting gains, however, was a report which warned that Britain may be stripped of its AAA credit rating as national debt continues to soar through the roof. Anglo American (LSE: AAL.L - news) took a hit after the company controversially proposed to restructure the platinum mines owned by Anglo American Platinum (Amplats), in which it has a 78 per cent stake, sparking outrage from its unions. The FTSE closed up nine points at 6,117.
1544: South African Mineral Resources Minister Susan Shabangu on Tuesday said her department had been 'blindsided' by JSE-listed Anglo American Platinum's (Amplats') announcement that it would undertake a restructuring programme that would see 14,000 jobs lost. Shares of Anglo American are now the biggest percentage loser on the top share index. FTSE 100 (FTSE: ^FTSE - news) down 2 to 6,106.
1330: US retail sales grew at a 0.5 per cent month-on-month pace in December (Consensus: 0.2 per cent).
1241: SAP (NYSE: SAP - news) 's fourth quarter operating profit has come in just below analysts' forecasts.
1210: India's Yes Bank is in talks to buy the local retail and commercial operations of Royal Bank of Scotland Group, a source with direct knowledge of the matter said, according to Reuters. FTSE 100 up 3 to 6,111.
1048: Platinum-related stocks are surging in London after this morning's restructuring announcement by Amplats. Platinum prices are at a three-month high after the Anglo American subsidiary said it would cut production by 400,000 ounces per annum after putting four unsustainable, high-cost shafts at Rustenburg on long-term care and maintenance. Analyst Alison Turner from Panmure Gordon said this morning that the Amplats review is 'good' for the wider platinum sector. She's said: 'we now expect the market to move more rapidly to a larger and more sustained deficit position driving a sustained increase in the platinum price'. Platinum producers Lonmin (LSE: LMI.L - news) and Aquarius, along with platinum distributor Johnson Matthey (LSE: JMAT.L - news) , are registering impressive gains.
0953: The Spanish Treasury has just sold 5.7bn euros in 12 and 18 month bills, well ahead of the 5bn euros targeted.
0930: UK consumer prices rose by 2.7% year-on-year in December, the same as last month, as expected. Producer prices increased by 2.2 per cent in the same month, below forecasts for a gain of 2.4 per cent.
0904: ARM Holdings (LSE: ARM.L - news) is now leading falls on the top share index after analysts at Morgan Stanley (Xetra: 885836 - news) downgraded their recommendation to equalweight from overweight, although they have raised their price target to 911p from 725p all in the same breath. More specifically, they say that: "While 12 months ago investors were worried about ARM's position versus Intel, we believe the current share price implies a near perfect trajectory in ARM's market share and royalty rate for the next two years. As a result, we downgrade to equalweight and wait for a better entry point into what remains a great story." FTSE 100 down 4 to 6,103.
0845: "If a sector continues to outperform in January having outperformed in the previous year (i.e. no reversal), then 83 per cent of the time (in the last 3 years) it outperforms for the rest of the year," says Credit Suisse (NYSE: CRP - news) in a strategy note released this morning. Will be interesting to see if history repeats itself again this year, comment analysts at Digital Look.
0830: UK stocks have begun the day slightly lower, tracking the mixed close on Wall Street last night and small losses in Asian trading. Market commentary has US Fed chief Bernanke down as having provided little direction, although he did call for the nation's debt ceiling to be raised. At yesterday's unscheduled press conference President Obama does seem to have adopted a rather clear and hard stance against negotiating an increase in the debt ceiling however, saying that: "What I will not do is to have that negotiation with a gun at the head of the American people." Burberry is leading gains in early trading following a better than expected increase in its quarterly sales. ARM Holdings on the other hand is moving lower after having been taken off of Morgan Stanley's European Best ideas list. The UK house price balance rose to 0 in December, versus a reading of -9 for the previous month, according to the latest data released on Tuesday morning by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). The ONS publishes its consumer and producer price data for December at 9:30. FTSE 100 down 7 to 6,101.

The Lovely Bones
The break out novel The Lovely Bones was bound to get a film adaptation much like all best-sellers. Featuring an ensemble cast and production team, The Lovely Bones had all the right elements to re-create Alice Sebold's novel. Yet this film does not reach the hype of the book or the production that surrounded its release.
Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan) is a 14-year old girl who develops a crush on Ray, who at her locker, slips a note into her notebook to meet her at a gazebo. While walking home from school, Susie runs into her neighbor, George Harvey (Stanley Tucci) persuades her to visit an underground bunker in the middle of a corn field. Susie, uncomfortable in the bunker, attempts to leave. She narrowly escapes to run home to see her father Jack Salmon (Mark Wahlberg) looking for her, but he does not see or hear her, she realizes she did not escape the bunker and had been killed.
Susie is forever trapped in an in-between world where she must watch her family struggle to come to terms with her disappearance. In the in-between world, she encounters Holly who explains that Susie must come to terms and move on. Her mother, Abigail (Rachel Weisz) leaves the family due to stress, prompting Abigail's mother, Lynn (Susan Sarandon), an alcoholic to help assist the family. Jack and Susie's older sister, Lindsay, have growing suspicions regarding Harvey and target him as Detective Len Fenerman (Michael Imperioli) believes the case is growing cold.
The Lovely Bones certainly has the substance and merit to warrant a film adaptation, however Peter Jackson is unable to bring the story to full fruition. His signature style is very much in the spotlight. Extreme wide-angle close-ups, moving object inserts, and sweeping crane shots are all present, calling back to Jackson's pre-Lord of the Rings days. Taking more style from his splatter flick Dead Alive and Heavenly Creatures. Granted, The Lovely Bones does not feature body horror like Dead Alive, however the suspense is very present in this film and well executed.
The in-between world where Susie's soul inhabits after her death has an aura that rivals What Dreams May Come, but has a toned down special effects package. Brian Eno's score assists these scenes in creating an ethereal tone that properly separates Susie from Heaven and Earth. This score adds to this in between world far more than the effects.
The performances are excellent, particularly of Wahlberg and Ronan. Ronan, whose performance in Atonement as a bratty girl who tears her sister's love affair apart, has approached her teenage years as a talented actress. Her scenes with Wahlberg, particularly finishing ships in bottles show the true love that this simple, typical family has for each other. Tucci has completely disappeared behind his character. His perfectionist demeanor and dorkiness as George Harvey awarded him a well-deserved Oscar nomination.
The theme of using detailed miniatures is ever-present in this story. Jack shares his love of building ships in bottles with Susie. This idea of miniatures expands to George's occupation of building doll houses. Both Jack and George are masters of the miniature. Their levels of minute detail parallel Jack's occupation as an accountant and George's detailed accounts and executions of his murders.
It is difficult describe where The Lovely Bones ultimately fails. The special effects are adequate, the cast is superb, the suspense is riveting, but the heart and love is missing. There is very much a preachy tone of the need for both Susie and her family to let go of their grief. It is that ideal that just seems wrong. A family who loses a teenager, or any child for that matter, may never recover from such a tragedy. You never let go. You just find a new normal. Only Abigail's character truly captures the stress and depression that occurs.

I totally agree with you on your review, this movie left me so underwhelmed. I thought with a great director at the helm I had much to look forward to, but boy was I wrong. There are so many odd things mixed together that did not work. I also agree there is so much that seems to be lacking. Probably my most disappointing movie of the year.

I enjoyed the book very much and was excited to see this film. The negative reviews it was met with are surely warranted. You are pretty much right on the money here. I thought Jackson dropped the ball big time on this one and let his ego get in the way rather than trying to tell us a powerful story. Much of the drama in the book is lost here. Also, (SPOILER ALERT) I liked how he is not found in the book....of course here, they kill Tucci off, which I thought was a lame idea. Too much style here and very little substance...which is too bad.

Cliffs Land Partners, LLC
22 South Main Street
Greenville, SC 29601

In the seven years Bill and Marty Hammack have lived in The Cliffs at Mountain Park, they've enjoyed golfing at the other Cliffs communities—The Cliffs at Glassy, The Cliffs Valley, the three Cliffs Communities at Lake Keowee, and The Cliffs at Walnut Cove near Asheville—and now they're looking forward to playing the course in their own community this fall.
"We go to all of them, most often carpooling with other people from here. Each one's a little different, but they're all kept up immaculately," Bill Hammack said. "The Gary Player course is going to be different as well; we think it will be one of the nicest golf courses in this area."
Set in a mountain valley, the Mountain Park course has 14 holes that play along the North Saluda River. Jason Harris, golf course superintendent, said construction on the new link-style course with zoysia fairways and MiniVerde Bermuda-grass greens was completed in November of last year. Time and warmer temperatures are all that's needed for nature to do the rest.
"It's going to take three hot months for it to all mature," Harris said. "In keeping with the course's environmentally sensitive concept, we picked grasses that require less water and pesticides to survive. Ten acres are planted with native meadow grasses and wildflowers to create a refuge for birds and animals."
Construction on the Mountain Park Golf Cabin will begin in June and will be completed this fall. The facility will house the golf operation and will include a bar and grill, retail shop, and porch overlooking holes #1 and #18. Mountain Park's cart barn features a multi-purpose design that will allow it to also serve as a party barn for informal events. The Mountain Park Golf Course maintenance facility is almost complete, and construction on course comfort stations will be completed by late summer.
Completion of the course is also a source of excitement for former California residents Ben and Bennie Whipple, whose Mountain Park home is currently being built by Gabriel Builders. With access to all seven courses, membership in The Cliffs is like "Disneyland for a golfer" Ben Whipple said.
"We like the mountains, to see vistas in the distance, and we fell in love with Greenville, so we picked Mountain Park because it's close," he said.
In addition to golf, Mountain Park and the other Cliffs Communities offer world-class wellness facilities and hiking trails through unsurpassed natural surroundings. The Hammacks said they hiked a number of the trails when they first moved to Mountain Park, and keep a boat at Keowee Vineyards. The couple also enjoys social activities at the clubhouse and events at the lakeside pavilion and service opportunities such as reading at a local school.
"There are so many things to do here. You really do take advantage of all the communities," Bill Hammack said. "We have a lot of friends in the other communities; it makes it very enjoyable."
Brett Johnston, CEO of Cliffs Land Partners, said 65 homes are currently under construction in all of The Cliffs Communities, including eight at Mountain Park. Homes in Mountain Park come in a variety of sizes, design options and price ranges, from maintenance-free condominiums to luxury estates.
"We are excited about the future of The Cliffs," Johnston said. "The stage is set for us to succeed at every level."

By now, you're probably aware that Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of former Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin, gave birth to a son over the weekend, a seven-pound, four-ounce bundle of joy rather majestically named Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston.
By naming her son Tripp, Bristol kept in line with the men of the Palin clan (her father is named Todd, and she's got brothers named Track and Trig), and while lil' Tripp's namesake can't match the sheer WTF-ness of, say, Bronx Mowgli Wentz, we're still big fans of the handle. After all, it not only recalls the windswept vistas of Alaska's north — and "American Psycho" author Bret Easton Ellis — but it also makes him sound like a character in "Dazed and Confused" ("Tripp Johnston … Alright, alright, alright!").
Having said all that, we're still a little disappointed in Bristol (and the hockey-playing father, Levi Johnston). Being the offspring/unwed mother of a very public figure affords you all sorts of latitude when it comes to choosing a name for your baby — the weirder and more incomprehensible the better (Nic Cage named his son Kal-el, for crying out loud). It's a tremendous opportunity to foist another bizarrely named child onto the unsuspecting public … a responsibility that is, frankly, part of your celeb/civic duty. It should be embraced, not shirked.
We're willing to give Bristol a do-over, considering this is the first time she's done this. Still, we'd be remiss if we didn't offer up a host of other names for young Tripp, just in case she wants to change the birth certificate (and since her mom is the governor of Alaska, she can probably do this). Consider your options, B, and let us know what you think:
» Tab Easton Mitchell Johnston
» Trap Star Easton Mitchell Johnston (Young Jeezy Approved!)
» Maverick (just Maverick)
» Easton Mitchell Easton Mitchell Johnston
» DJ Z-Trip(p)
» Trim Trabb. This is a really great song on Blur's 1999 album 13 (we're old.)
» Trick Trick
» Tic Tac Easton Mitchell Johnston
» Tush. Like the ZZ Top Song. There is a 100-percent chance your dad owns this on cassette!

White Chocolate Lemon Blondies
These White Chocolate Lemon Blondies are ridiculously amazing! So easy and delicious! My new favorite!
I am going to tell you that these bars are ridiculous.
Honestly one of my new favorites…which is annoying because I feel like I have been saying that a lot lately…
Like if everything is a favorite then nothing's a favorite, I mean right?
You can't favorite EVERYTHING!
So sorry about this.
They are.
A new favorite.
Maybe my most favorite…I mean for today.
The unfortunate thing about these bars, though, is that no one else who resides in my home likes lemon baked stuff.
But they DO, however like lemonade. And lemon candy. And, oh yeah, raw lemons.
Which basically makes no sense.
Except here's the even MORE annoying thing.
I don't like lemonade. Or lemon candy. Or even lemons, really.
But baked goods with lemon? BRANG IT!
So basically my family and I are all backwards lemon weirdos.
Anyway. These bars rocked my Sunday afternoon.
White Chocolate Lemon Blondies.
They go together with just a few steps.
Love a completely non-complicated dessert!
Just make your batter and add in some white chocolate…
Spread about half of it in a lined pan…
Then grab a whole jar of lemon curd.
But why oh why do they call it curd. It's annoying and gross sounding.
But it's delicious.
Drop that by tablespooons all over…
The whole jar, guys.
Then smear the rest of the dough all over the top.
Let it cool completely before cutting into squares…or even removing it from the pan.
All that curd in there makes it loosey-goosey. So be patient.
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1½ cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1, 10 oz jar lemon curd
- Preheat oven to 325°
- Line a 9x9 pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In bowl of stand mixer combine butter and both sugars. Cream together for 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add in eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.
- Turn mixer to low and mix in flour, baking powder and salt until just combined.
- Stir in white chocolate chips.
- Spread half of the dough into prepared pan.
- Top with lemon curd, dropping by the tablespoon equally over dough.
- Spread remaining dough on top of the lemon curd evenly.
- With a knife, swirl the dough and lemon curd together.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until edges are golden and bars are just set up. Don't over-bake.
- Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool.
- When ready to cut into squares, remove bars from pan by lifting foil.

White chocolate and lemon are fabulous together! Loving this recipe!
August 25, 2013 at 8:35 pm
Oh girl these are so gorgeous!! Drooling over here
August 25, 2013 at 8:55 pm
I love white choc chip blondies! I make them usually with coconut. I would LOVE the addition of lemon. I love those big hunks of curd before you swirled them. MMMmmmm!
August 25, 2013 at 9:18 pm
Oh wow these look amazing! I hate when my taste in desserts don't align with my fiance's, but then I remember…More for me! You must have the patience of a saint because there is no way I would have been able to let those cool all the way before cutting a slice!
August 25, 2013 at 9:26 pm
What I don't get is how you get 25 bars out of a 9×9 pan! They must be teeny tiny…or is that the point?
August 25, 2013 at 9:59 pm
I LOVE some lemon up in my baked goods. These look awesome!
August 25, 2013 at 10:01 pm
I know what you mean, I have a new favorite everyday. Cooking/baking everyday requires A LOT of favorites!
These bars are insane! I love the white chocolate and the lemon together. That sounds like a dreamy combo!
August 25, 2013 at 10:25 pm
I'm fairly certain the.boy shares your kid's taste buds…because he feels similarly about lemon desserts even though I'm passionate about them! But…who says I'd share these with him anyway. Yum. Happening.
August 25, 2013 at 10:29 pm
Oh wow these look amazing! I love lemon cake so I bet these rock. Gonna have to try these!
August 25, 2013 at 10:49 pm
Seriously? My two favorite flavors, lemon & white chocolate, together in a rich blondie? YOU are my favorite
August 26, 2013 at 10:06 am
Never would have thought to try this flavor combination, but it sounds fabulous!! Definitely adding it to my to-try list!
August 26, 2013 at 10:16 am
This looks great, 1.2 cup granulated sugar? Is it 1 1/2 cups?
August 26, 2013 at 10:39 am
I love any white chocolate and lemon combination… so yummy! Definitely going to have try these
August 26, 2013 at 11:17 am
Lemon curd in brownies… you continue to amaze me! It sounds wonderful!
August 26, 2013 at 11:23 am
These sound totally amazing!! Must make these soon!
August 26, 2013 at 12:42 pm
These look great! In the recipe it states 1.2 cup granulated sugar. Is it 1/2 cup? Thank you.
August 26, 2013 at 2:36 pm
How much granulated sugar?
August 26, 2013 at 2:43 pm
Love the simple ingredients. I need these in my life!!
August 26, 2013 at 2:52 pm
I am blondie obsessed, and these are amazing! Never would have thought of the lemon twist!
August 26, 2013 at 2:53 pm
Sorry to sound so blonde but did you mean to say 1/2 C. sugar? I WASN'T SURE WHAT 1.2 SUGAR meant. Can't wait to make them. I just wanted to verify how much sugar.
August 26, 2013 at 3:24 pm
Oh man, I'd like the whole pan, please! Adding lemon curd is a brilliant idea!
August 26, 2013 at 5:50 pm
Ohmagahhhhh I love lemon bars and lemon baked goods…just serve these up and I'm done! I want these! And I could eat lemon curd with a spoon. So good.
August 26, 2013 at 6:04 pm
I was @ a Brit goods shoppe Saturday and almost pick up a jar of Robinson's curd.
Now I have to go back. 😉
August 26, 2013 at 8:03 pm
This is so unique! I'd never think to pair lemon and white chocolate. Definitely making this soon
August 26, 2013 at 9:36 pm
You had me at lemon curd! Can't wait to try these soon!
August 26, 2013 at 10:59 pm
These sound so good! Lucky for me, everyone in my family likes lemony baked goods.
August 27, 2013 at 1:48 am
I was all, "ooh, these sound really good," and then I saw you put in a whole jar of lemon curd, and I died. I cannot wait to try these. They look amazing.
August 27, 2013 at 4:55 am
White chocolate & lemon is one of my favorite combinations! And these…. with all that lemon curd. HOLY COW!!! YUM!
August 27, 2013 at 8:11 am
I cannot wait to make these!! One of my favorite food combo's is lemon and white chocolate together! These could easily be a favorite of mine too!
August 27, 2013 at 1:41 pm
Loving these!! I adore lemon curd and can't even begin to imagine how good it must be in these blondies!
Side note – I made your Nutella butter bars last week, but with Biscoff – they were AMAZING!! Everyone loved them
August 28, 2013 at 2:22 am
wow, they look delicious
September 1, 2013 at 1:31 am
White choco blondies are definitely the best–looks like you've still got some summer zest in you, which I love (autumn = too soon! Or I'm in denial). Thank you for sharing this–totally going into my to-do folder!

I just made these bars but substituted lemon pie filling for lemon curd because I couldn't find any lemon curd at the local store. They were good, but I'm sure they would have been better with the curd. :/
September 10, 2013 at 3:39 pm
I never had lemon curd but I've stocked up now as I think these are going to be my favorite bars as soon as I make them once!
September 12, 2013 at 10:39 am
You have me at lemon!
September 12, 2013 at 10:49 am
Seriously delicious! They look so moist and almost fudge-like. I bet they'd be good with lime curd, too!
October 19, 2013 at 10:55 pm
Hi. I just want to ask, is there a substitute for lemon curd? Since its kinda hard to find that all the way here in PI.
Thanks 😀
July 1, 2014 at 4:41 pm
Hi – I made these last night and they turned out just like your picture, and taste delicious! The curd is still fairly gooey, though – is that how they're supposed to be? Yum yum!
October 5, 2015 at 10:51 pm
Hi – i made these yesterday but the middle was so gooey they fell apart once cut. Im not sure what I did wrong. I lined my 9 x 9 with foil and followed the directions with the whole jar of curd. I even baked mine for 40 mins but didnt want to go too much longer since you had said dont over cook but the middle seemed like it was still not fully cooked. The outside cuts were fine and everyone like them. I just cant figure out what happened to the middle. Any suggestions?

The Greenville News has recently carried several articles chastising Paula Deen for admitting that 30 years ago she used a word our mainstream media now considers politically incorrect. This public reprimand carried by most newspapers across the nation resulted in significant financial loss for Miss Deen.
In stark contrast, several months ago a professor at Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Fla., required his students to write Jesus' name on a piece of paper, place it on the floor, and stomp on it. The one student who refused reported the incident to the school and was expelled. The professor was initially placed on leave of absence with pay, but later reinstated. This incident, not considered newsworthy by the media, was carried by only a handful of our nation's newspapers.
There are two important conclusions to be drawn from these events:
1) That to mainline journalists, using a word 30 years ago they now consider unacceptable is a major offense and must be immediately and severely punished. While demanding college students to publicly and sacrilegiously profane the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is of no importance.
2) That the power of the American press is enormous, and its destructive influence on our nation should absolutely terrify all honest, hard-working, God-fearing, law-abiding, freedom-loving, principle-minded citizens right down into the marrow of their smallest bone.

Lead paint: the condo question
A reader asked me a question about lead paint and condos. What happens if a unit is lead-safe, but the common area is not? How does the liability work? Since IANAL, I asked a legal colleague. She told me this:
Lets say a child under the age of six living in a condo more than 20 hours a week. If a condo unit owner were to complete a lead inspection, remove all the lead from within their unit, and obtain a Certificate of Compliance, he or she would have done everything in their power to remove the lead paint health risk from affecting their tenant.
Without lead in the condo unit, the tenant would be unable to hold the condo owner liable for any lead paint poisoning that the child later suffered.
The responsibility, then, would fall upon the Trustees of the Condominium Trust or the Managers of the Condominium Association. The Trustees/Managers have a legal responsibility to care for the Common Areas and grounds of the Condominium on behalf of all the unit owners. In that position, their job is to insure the safety and health of all who live at the Condominium, including owners and their legal tenants. If it could be shown that the child had elevated lead levels causing illness, and the childs condo unit was free of all lead-based products but there was lead in the Common Areas, then the liability for the childs injury would fall to the Condominium Trust/Association and that entity could be sued for the consequential damages sustained by the child resident.
So, here is yet another thing to be concerned about when you buy a condo in an old building in Massachusetts.
Thank you J.K.

I am not used to having a horse that isn't higher in the pecking order. My old guy Romeo was always above most horses in the pecking order, so when I put him out at the barn (That I now have Gavyn at) he maybe came out with like 3 kick marks the whole time he was there.
Now I have Gavyn and he has been down at this barn for about 5 months, and he is STILL getting bitten and kicked. I find new marks literally every time I go get him.
So my question is-- Is this normal? Should I just have him stay out there, or should I take him out, or what?

Bradley Wiggins confirms he will race in Tour of Britain
Published at 12:00, Monday, 20 August 2012
Cycling superstar Bradley Wiggins is coming to Carlisle.
Weblink: Route map - Carlisle to Blackpool
Wiggins, who has won seven Olympic medals including four gold, has announced he will take part in the Tour of Britain.
Wiggins took gold in the time trial at London 2012 just weeks after victory in the Tour de France.
He announced his participation in the Tour of Britain at a 'Ride with Brad' session in Lancashire, designed to encourage people to take up cycling.
Wiggins, who rides for Team Sky, did not compete last year because he was recovering from an injury.
He said: "It'll be nice. I'll try to stay fit between now and then so I don't embarrass myself."
Fellow cycling star Mark Cavendish is also expected to take part.
The 27-year-old is the world's best sprinter and took his tally of stage wins on the Tour de France to 23, putting him fourth on the overall list.
The Isle of Man star also won the green jersey, awarded to the rider who accumulates the highest number of sprint points, on the 2011 Tour. But his tally of three stage wins this year was his lowest since his abortive Tour debut in 2007 and led to speculation he could quit Team Sky.
A large part of Stage Four of this year's race – Britain's equivalent of the Tour de France – is being held through Cumbria.
It covers a route from Carlisle to Blackpool and is due to start on September 12.
The news was welcomed in Cumbria, with several people taking to Twitter.
One, Colin Glover, the deputy leader of Carlisle City Council, said: "Another great day for Carlisle."
The Tour of Britain last visited Carlisle in 2005.

Published by http://www.newsandstar.co.uk
Have your say
Of course this is welcome news for Carlisle and for local fans of cycling. I just hope that some of our more limelight-seeking politicos don't try to hijack the event to further their own egos or crackpot ideas or claim credit for Mr. Wiggins' appearance. One hopes, however, that Mrs Martlew gets her pooper scooper out to clear the way for the competitors and thusly set the limit for city councillor involvement.
Petethegreet, Whats the point in doing anything in life? In my oppinion its those attitudes that see alot of big things bypass this part of the county, if its not your cup of tea dont go but dont put it down for everyone else!

Does anyone know where to get an explosion proof fan that could be installed in a basement WW shop? I have an area in my shop about 6' by 8' that I would like to isolate from the rest of the shop with a poly curtain and use it as a finishing area, but I have no ventilation in there.
I installed a fresh air circulating fan in my 400 sq. ft. shop but it is inadequate for providing the necessary ventilation for finishing. Besides, I would like to isolate the finishing area so that I can continue to work if something is drying.
Any other suggestions would be helpful.

HANFORD, Calif. (October 1, 2012)--At least 20 passengers suffered minor to moderate injuries Monday when an 18-wheeler collided with a southbound Amtrak train in the Central Valley in California.
Kings County Assistant Sheriff Dave Putnam says the crash occurred at around 12:30 p.m. Monday south of Hanford, Calif.
He said the injuries were mostly bumps and bruises, and possibly broken bones.
Three of the five train cars were pushed off the track.
Putnam estimated the train was carrying between 120 and 150 people.

Post subject: Fear Level question
Does a Deadland stay that way if there's nobody around to be scared of it?
Also does the Fear Level penalty apply only to guts checks that roll against the fright table or also nausea checks?

Marshal's ONLY. If you are a player in Deadlands this post has NOTHING you want to see. It is full of boring how the Deadlands setting works stuff that will ruin you're fun.
Basically you're asking, "If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around to hear it; does it make a sound?"
Personally, I say yes. I'm not completely certain but the Rules As Written (RAW) way, but I Marshal a Dead Land (Fear Level 6) has been lost forever and treat it quite literally land that is dead and ain't coming back again. . . ever. Deadlands is a horror game, and knowing the Earth itself can die a bit at a time is damn horrifying.
In the
Fire & Brimstone
adventure, The Mission, I ran a very, very long time ago I discovered something that effects most players. The posse failed that adventure and the area became a dead land. All the players were crushed when they learned what a dead land meant. They wished they would have followed up on the clues and would have sacrificed their characters if it meant stopping it. Because players almost always have this idea of a continuing world. The players know that even if they had new characters in a new campaign, this area was lost forever. The game world is forever changed for the worst. For the rest of that campaign, the player characters became avengers of good against the inhuman evil that caused the dead land. The adventure completely changed the tone of cowpokes trying to get rich (your basic murder-hobo game) to people saving the world from the forces of evil.
A might fuzzier concept is what about fear levels in areas that are not a dead land. Seeing that the Reckoners have to expend energy to make the place scary, they wouldn't waste it in regions that no one going to be passing through. Quite the opposite in fact. However, even though the American West is still the frontier with wide open spaces, there isn't as many places out there that won't see humans. There might not be any white men, but Indians scout all over. I give most places a Fear Level 1 anyway but tend not to make a big deal of it since no one is going to be making Guts rolls and I'm not going all purple prose of descriptions anyway.
I also get the sense you're asking is, "Say a town was a Fear Level 4, but well everyone was killed or moved a way. Does the Fear Level drop?" In this case, I say yes it does. Why spend energy mining for fear when the mine's tap out. The Fear Monger (old concept) just moves on down the road somewhere to get to stirring up trouble. That's why the Reckoners don't want to kill everybody just yet. That's what Hell On Earth is.
Like I said, I'm not sure if that's the Pinnacle answer, but that's how I run it. And I ain't liable to change if it be different then my idea.

Thanks I really like the whole deadlands being permanent idea (or at least almost impossible to get rid of) and I think I'd probably apply it partially to lower fear levels.
I'm running Coffin Rock as the intro to Deadlands and was wondering what would happen if everyone died or the town burnt down and stuff. So if there's nobody left around the Fearmonger could either stay there or move on but the Fear Level will remain the same because survivors will tell stories and people with remember that location as being scary

Something to keep in mind is that none of these places exist in a vacuum. Just because no one lives there, that doesn't mean that people aren't still afraid of the place or that horrible things don't still lurk there.
Take, for example, Worm Canyon. No one lives there, outside of Ursula, her handful of cultists and a pile of Mojave Rattlers, but people in the areas around it surely are afraid of that canyon!
Plus, it brings up the whole idea of "the bad place" from classic horror. While things might be nominally "okay" in town, the constant creeping fear of what might lurk in that box canyon, of what might be under the floorboards in that old manor, or the memory of how many people died in that abandoned hotel still resonate.
To use your example from earlier, regarding the Ghost town, I'd advocate exactly the opposite. You now have a place where the proverbial walls are thin, and its easier for the Reckomers to breach through to our world. While no one might be in the town proper, the guys in the next town are going to be might afraid of it! "Yeah, I been up there," the town sheriff might say, "Ain't never goin back there, neither. The dead don't rest out in them there streets, and there's a ill wind blowin' from there. Somethin' killed all them people, and I ain't about to go find out what....if you're smart, you'll stay away too."
Just because a place is empty of people, doesn't mean that the Reckoners aren't gathering fear from there...and from places nearby...
Long story short, if an area is abandoned the Fear Level should
at least
stay the same, if not rise.

Officially, you can lower the fear level of a Deadland. It is just insanely hard.
Step 1: Locate Deadland.
Step 2: Identify Fear Monger. This is the
monster in a place that is as literally Hell on Earth as a location can be.
Step 3: Reach Fear Monger. Usually this involves a whole lot of sneaking past the "scrub" monsters (walkin' dead, nosferatu, lurkers, etc.) with occasional battles, until you finally get face-to-face with the fear monger.
Step 4: Kill Fear Monger. And Survive. This is made more difficult by the fact that most of the fear mongers of actual Deadlands are Servitors, or otherwise nearly invincible. Doable, but very hard.
Step 5: Escape the Deadland. Much like step 3, except all the other monsters heard the commotion of the battle and are coming to eat you, and maybe promote themselves to status as the
Fear Monger.
Step 6: Tell the tale, successfully. Given that your Tale Telling roll takes a -6 penalty (Fear Level of the Deadland), this is very difficult, especially if you're still wounded from the actual deed. Oh, and you have to tell it to the people who exist in the area of the Deadland - not inside it, but around it; your tale will lower the fear level of the area your audience is in, so that audience needs to be in your deadland to lower the fear level of the deadland.
Step 7: Repeat, on your slow quest to save the world.
Not an easy thing. Not at all.
"Got a problem? I've got the solution: Rocket Launcher."
"Not against a Servitor."
"... We're all gonna die."

Discussing the state of antimicrobial resistance at a recent conference, the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Margaret Chan, made it clear that there is a significant need for new antimicrobial therapeutics.
Hospitals have now become hotbeds for highly resistant pathogens, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), she said, and diseases that were curable, such as tuberculosis, are now are becoming harder and more complicated to treat. The lack of effective antibiotics can even make surgical procedures and certain cancer treatments too risky, even dangerous to undertake. Common occurrences such as strep throat or a child's scratched knee could become lethal again, essentially, she said, the "end of modern medicine."
Recognizing the critical unmet need for new antibacterial therapeutics, Cempra Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: CEMP) is pursuing the development of therapeutics targeting drug-resistant bacterial infections. With approximately $54.7 million raised from a recent IPO, including the overallotment option, the company plans to use the funds to advance its two late-stage programs.
A Phase 3 trial of lead therapeutic CEM-101 (solithromycin) for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP)is planned for later this year, and Cempra is also planning a Phase 2 trial for another antibiotic in development, Taksta™ (CEM-102), for treatment of prosthetic joint infections. The active compound in Taksta, fusidic acid, has a long history of safety and efficacy outside of the United States, with demonstrated activity against gram-positive bacteria, such as MRSA.
Russo Partners looks forward to building awareness of Cempra's innovative antibacterial programs as they prepare to move into late-stage Phase 3 trials.
Read more about Cempra's programs in the following article from News & Observer:

@Patrick D You will find that the team sponsors / personal sponsors pay their wages, that's the one's that draw a wage. Many racers have to bring cash to the team and race for free in order to get a seat. Besides how much of your ticket price, if you actually go to race meets do you think goes to the riders?

Appearing visually larger than its actual weight the main stone is joined by nine (9) additional single cut accent diamond mêlées in both the band and the ring. A lovely engagement and bridal set for a lovely price.

Just got a new mare this last week - yippee! She's a beautiful blue roan Hancock mare, and an absolutely wonderful ranch horse. The handiest horse I've ever ridden, in fact!
Upon getting her papers (her AQHA # is 4247149: Deep Blue Hancock, by TW Drift Han Lucky, out of WT Miss Blue Hancock), I see the back of it says "This horse has an ancestor known to carry HYPP." I'm thoroughly confused, as I'm unaware of any of the horses on her papers here carrying HYPP.
The plot thickens, though!
Her sire's dam is out of "CO BAR EIGHTY" (2183776), by "UNKOWN SIRE" (0444444). The mare was foaled in 1984, but the unknown sire was foaled in 1901. I'm guessing 0444444 is the standard AQHA answer to an unknown sire for a horse they consider legitimate for whatever reason...
Could 0444444 Unknown Sire be a sort of "mechanical flag" that popped up the "Your horse could carry HYPP" tag to be printed on the back of the paper? Does that make sense? Or does someone see a horse they actually recognize in these bloodlines somewhere to be a real carrier of HYPP? I don't see her lines up on AllBreed, but I suppose I could probably plug them in if it would be easier than someone looking through the AQHA database.
Thanks, all. Let me know if you need further clarification!

Roe Drain Crossing closed
Brewer Rd., between Dennison and Petersburg Rds. has been closed due to a culvert failure.
The Monroe County Road Commission says the crossing, over the Roe Drain, will remain closed "until repairs can be made or a replacement of the culvert is completed."
The crossing is located about .35 mile east of Dennison Rd. No detour has been posted.
Pow Wow planned
An estimated 5,000-6,000 Native Americans from several states and Canada are expected to attend the first Native American Pow Wow in Monroe June 23-24.
The gathering will take place at the Monroe County Community College campus and draw people from Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin, said John Bailey, one of the organizers.
"These pow wows are huge," Mr. Bailey said Wednesday. "This is our first year. Our theme this year is Healing of the Nations. We want to forget the problems we've had in the past and prepare for the future. It will be mostly an educational tool."
Intertribal dancing, Native American story telling and other educational activities will be held over the two days. Native American groups from both Lenawee and Monroe counties, including the Turtle Island Dreamkeepers Native American Organization, are hosting the event along with corporate sponsors like the Community Foundation of Monroe and the college, Mr. Bailey said.
Volunteers and donations are being sought from the community to provide food, water and other supplies for the gathering. Any business, organization or individual wishing to donate funds or supplies can contact Mr. Bailey at 625-8083 or e-mail him at email@example.com.
Sign ordinance up for debate
The Dundee Planning Commission will hold a public forum to discuss its sign ordinances at its next meeting, at 7 p.m., April 2 at the Village Hall, said Julius Suchy, village manager.
Area businesses are invited to attend.
Mr. Suchy said the current ordinance allows only one sign per grand-opening, but many times business owners will put out as many as 10.
The planning commission wants to sit down with businesses to find out what they like and don't like about the village's sign ordinances, Mr. Suchy said.
"We want to move forward with a document that works for both parties," Mr. Suchy said.
Food bank to benefit
The four Monroe Subway stores will participate in "Feed a Friend" on March 15.
Buy a six-inch sub and get a six-inch sub for free when you donate a can or box of food, said Janette Goyett, director of marketing for Stewart Systems Restaurant Group, which owns the four Monroe Subways and six stores in Lansing.
There's no limit on the number of cans you can donate and subs you can earn, Ms. Goyett said.
The event is during store operations. Stores open at 7 a.m. and some close at 11 p.m. and others at 12 midnight, Ms. Goyett said.
The event raises food for Monroe Food Bank, Ms. Goyett said.
Summer classes planned
Some students entering kindergarten in Monroe Public Schools will have the opportunity to get into the classrooms before the fall.
The district is offering summer classes to incoming members of the new kindergarten class.
With the new summer school program, Monroe Public Schools becomes the only district in the county to offer the additional assistance for incoming students, a news release said.
Previously, kindergarteners and Young 5s were given the opportunity to attend summer school but only after their first year of school was completed.
"As part of our kindergarten registration, we will know which students could benefit from having spent time in school over the summer, even before school begins in the fall," said Julie Everly, assistant superintendent for elementary curriculum. "We want every student to start school with a solid foundation to succeed and realize that some students may need more help to do that than others."
The initial number of students in the summer school for soon-to-be-kindergartners will be 20 in one classroom, which also is how many kindergarteners are in a regular classroom during school. Classes will be held at Manor Elementary School.
Parents can register their students for kindergarten April 2-6 at the district's administration building.
Budget workshop planned
The London Township Board will hold a workshop Saturday to review its budget for 2011-12 and to consider a proposed spending plan for 2012-13.
The board will meet at 9:30 a.m. in the township hall, 13613 Tuttle-Hill Rd. The township's new fiscal year begins April 1, Clerk Lewis Irby Jr. said.

Omnicell, Inc.
), a leading developer and marketer of end-to-end automation
solutions for the medication-use process, will showcase its newly
launched fourth-generation G4 solutions in the presence of 70,000
healthcare professionals at the Arab Health 2012 Congress and
Exhibition, scheduled from January 23 to January 26.
Given the fact that very few hospitals have adopted medication
control systems in the international market, Omnicell is presently
working hard to establish its presence in the global arena,
especially in markets with huge potentials.
Earlier in May last year, Omnicell set up its Middle East
regional office and training center in Dubai, which is considered
to be path breaking for healthcare customers and business partners
in that region. This center has already organized several training
sessions for students from six countries. The company is also
looking forward to provide training using the G4 platform to
hospitals in that region.
Presently, outside the US, Omnicell operates in Canada, Europe,
South America, Australia and Asia with supply chain sourcing in
Asia. The company aims to derive 20% of its revenues from
international operations in the longer term compared with the
current level of 5%.
To achieve this, the company is aiming at expanding its
international footprint through various strategies. The company
expects the adoption curve to show an ascending pattern going
forward, as it is on track to develop products incorporating new
technologies, to capture more market share from its competitors and
continue winning more deals.
Despite the tough economic conditions in Europe, we are
optimistic about Omnicell's growth prospects in the international
arena. In November 2011, Omnicell launched its Mandarin-language
versions of G4 platform for clinical use in China. Additionally,
Omnicell announced a partnership with China Resources Beijing
Pharmaceutical for distributing its automated medication dispensing
systems in China.
Considering the increased investment in information technology (
) by healthcare providers and the huge untapped market for
automated healthcare management systems in China, we expect
Omnicell's initial entry into the Chinese market to further enhance
the company's international endeavor in due course.
Athens Regional Hospital in Georgia has adopted the upgraded
version of OptiFlex supply management solutions. Wellmont Health
System in Tennessee and Sentara Health in Virginia installed the
company's new controlled-substance management solution.
Notwithstanding the concerns arising from several macro-economic
uncertainties as well as intense competition from major players
such as
CareFusion Corporation
) and
McKesson Automation
we are optimistic about Omnicell's growth prospects globally. We
are also looking forward to the Omnicell's fourth quarter and full
year 2011 result which is expected to release on Thursday, January
26, 2012.
Currently, Omnicell retains a short-term Zacks #2 Rank (Buy
rating). However, over the long term, we remain Neutral on

Maybe it's time for a modern-day John Howard Griffin to write another "Black Like Me."
In 1959, Griffin, a white man, medically darkened his skin. He spent six weeks traveling through the rigidly segregated Deep South and kept a journal of his experiences as a black man. In the best-seller he wrote afterward, he described how accustomed he became to the "hate stare" he constantly got from whites.
