Francesco Ciabattoni to Speak about Dante's Divine Comedy on March 5

Ciabattoni will explain the musicological and theological underpinnings of Dante's chosen musical settings. The event takes place on Thursday, March 5, at 5 p.m. in Weis Cinema of the Bertelsmann Campus Center at Bard College.

Continuation of Austerity Will Prolong Greece's National Crisis and Poses Contagion Risk for Eurozone, New Levy Institute Report Says
Vowing to renegotiate the terms of Greece's bailouts, the anti-austerity Syriza party continues to lead polls ahead of Greece's election on January 25. The impending vote has spurred renewed discussion about Greece exiting the eurozone and is being closely watched by financial markets. A new report from the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College argues that despite some timid signs of recovery, notably in the tourism sector, it will take more than a decade for Greece's real GDP to return to its precrisis level and for unemployment to fall to an acceptable range if no stimulus is provided to the economy.

After an almost four-hour standoff, Denver police have an alleged shooter in custody.
Police were called to an apartment at 12th and Grant near downtown Denver on reports of a suicidal situation. After officers arrived, sister station KCNC says the suspect began firing from an apartment. The suspect and officers exchanged fire for nearly four hours.
At one point, authorities fired a gas canister into the apartment as an attempt to draw the suspect out. Nearby residents were told to stay inside and keep their windows closed.
Police arrested the suspect just before 6 a.m. No one was injured in the incident.

The DeCillis Vietnam Conflict Collection
The DeCillis collection about the Vietnam conflict was donated to the De Anza College Library by Paul DeCillis, who served with the 4th Infantry in Vietnam's Central Highlands in 1969-1970. Paul, who is now a communications technician with Pacific Bell, became a collector of materials about the Vietnam out of a personal need and a deep personal conviction that eventually people would desire to read more about the war.
The collection is still growing and covers all viewpoints with some of the books in French and Vietnamese, and others first printings or rare editions. The collection includes books, videos, magazines, memorabilias (helmets from both sides, a jar of soil from Vietnam, Vietnamese coins and stamps, etc.), artifacts, drawings, and personalized items collected by Paul DeCillis and with gifts from Vietnam veterans and their families. De Cillis is featured in this photo, standing by the memorabilia display case.
There is a miniature book titled "Truyen Kieu" (The Tale of Kieu), a wall clock in the shape of Vietnam, and a set of four Vietnamese inlaid lacquer panels depicting scenes from the Tale of Kieu.
Many of the materials in the collection can be checked out of the library by students and faculty. The extensive video collection may be viewed in the area or taken out on loan. Please search the library catalog for call numbers or ask a librarian at the reference desk for assistance in locating materials

Azoles for Ringworm
Skin creams, lotions, or shampoo
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|clotrimazole/betamethasone (an azole cream with corticosteroid)
Pills or liquid (oral)
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Azoles are a class of antifungals used to treat ringworm.
Clotrimazole/betamethasone (Lotrisone), a combination antifungal and corticosteroid, is sometimes used to treat ringworm that is burning, itchy, and inflamed. Use this prescription medicine with caution, because complications can arise with long-term use of corticosteroids.
Why It Is Used
Azoles are used to treat ringworm.
For ringworm of the skin, creams are usually used first. You can get some azole creams, such as Micatin, without a prescription. If an antifungal cream does not clear up the infection or if the infection is severe and widespread, then your doctor may prescribe antifungal pills.
For ringworm of the scalp and beard, azole pills and ketoconazole shampoo may be used.
How Well It Works
Azoles are effective for treatment of ringworm.
For better absorption into the body, take azole pills with cola or orange juice.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Creams, lotions, or shampoo
Side effects are rare when you use azole creams to treat ringworm of the skin. But some people have noticed mild stinging.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives, or red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin.
- Burning, numbness, or tingling.
- Fever, chills, or a sore throat that won't go away.
- Irregular heartbeat.
- Yellowing of your eyes or skin.
- Dark urine or pale stools.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Changes in taste.
- Diarrhea.
- Dizziness or headaches.
- Stomach upset or belly pain.
- Nausea or vomiting.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
People taking antifungal pills may have their blood counts and liver and kidney function monitored during treatment to watch for any bad side effects. This may not be needed in healthy children.
Do not drink alcohol while taking azole pills, because this may increase the risk of liver damage.
Azole pills should not be taken with some other medicines. Let your doctor know what other medicines you are taking.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant. If you need to use this medicine, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Mobile phone services have undergone massive changes since they were introduced, taking the world by storm.
First are the pace and degree of communication as well as the speed of doing things, followed by the network providers' expansive control of these aspects.
What could take years and even generations to do in those old days now takes a matter of minutes or seconds to accomplish, mostly thanks to the wizardry of the cellular or mobile telephone.
Whereas previously one would need to travel thousands of kilometers to have certain assignments done, now a single phone call can work miracles.
Things have vastly changed with this abridgement of technology such that offices and homes no longer are the little, secluded and quasi-private entities they used to be before the advent of the handset.
Offices and homes alike have been modified and they are for all practical purposes 'in one's phone' and perhaps 'in many people's phones'.
That more than 23 million people in possession of handsets in Tanzania shows how fast this technology, perhaps more than any other, has been embraced.
Arguably, what has made it this popular is the ongoing "money on the phone" business, what with people able to transfer, pay and receive money from and to individuals and organisations. It is said that over 10bn/- changes hands though this system on a daily basis.
Surely, these scientific and technological achievements have made people freer and some trade transactions near effortless.
But despite the massive achievements arising from the technological development, consumers occasionally fall victim to exploitation by some dispensers of this technology. Too bad, there is as yet no law to protect them.
For instance, for a person who owns a phone, it may be necessary for a network provider to issue notification on the safety of the services they discharge. But would it be fair for the same service providers to use the phone as the media through which to advertise their businesses?
Fair trade practices demand that both the medium (handset) and the chip (line) remain the preserve of the owner (buyer) and not the network provider. Accordingly, should the latter wish to use a particular phone for own ends, they should pay for such advertisements.
Strangely, this is not what we are witnessing, and unfortunately there is no law to protect the consumers.
Equally lacking legal control is the "money on the phone" business. While massive sums of money have been changing hands ever since this mode of business was introduced, subscribers have been losing out to network providers just because there is no law to guard the former.
For example, all the money transacted daily passes through the account of a single mobile phone service provider. Thus, all the money lying in a particular provider's bank account when the bank issues interest goes to the phone provider and not the phone subscriber!
These are but some of the few areas the Bank of Tanzania and the Tanzania Communication Regulatory Authority need to critically look into, with a view to ensuring a fair deal for the millions of people using mobile phone services.

Why caring for the environment is important?
The nuclear power station at Chernobyl in the Ukraine for example, exploded in 1986 releasing large amounts of toxic and radioactive materials into the air. Swedish scientists detected this dangerous pollution in the air since it was brought by the wind from Ukraine which is many kilometers away. Soil, water and air became devastated with this radioactive material and many crops and animals in several countries had to be destroyed because they were too dangerous to eat. Thousands of people had to be moved from their homes because the environment around the power station was no longer safe to live.

Serves 3-4
Makes 8-10 tacos
This is a departure from classic Mexican tacos and is inspired by a chef of modern Mexican cooking, Enrique Olvera, who serves foie gras with this pico at his Mexico City restaurant, Pujol. This dish is called "pico de piñata" because many of the ingredients—the clementines, jicama, and peanuts—are traditionally stuffed inside a piñata.
Stir together all the ingredients in a bowl.
Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot. While the skillet is heating, pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season them with salt.
Add the oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Immediately add the scallops, one by one so they aren't touching, and cook, without moving, until the undersides are browned, about 3 minutes (when the scallops are ready they will move when you shake the pan because their browned crust will release them from the pan). Turn the scallops over and cook until just cooked through, about 2 minutes more.
Cut the scallops into 1⁄2-inch pieces and make tacos with the pico de piñata.
You can substitute popcorn shrimp for the scallops. Season with salt and sauté, stirring, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.

When I read the article regarding the premier of Manitoba declaring that students in Manitoba schools can opt out of Remembrance Day ceremonies held in schools, I was shocked at his disgraceful attitude towards all of our fallen soldiers.
The men and women of our Armed Forces, past and present, serve this country with great dignity and respect. They have performed their duties without thought to the outcome to themselves of what these duties are. Those that have lost their lives for our freedom do deserve to be remembered for their ultimate sacrifice.

Kiowa Joseph Gordon (born March 25, 1990) is a Native American actor born in Berlin, Germany. He portrays Embry Call in the New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn - Part 1 movies, replacing Krys Hyatt in a short cameo appearance in Twilight film.
Gordon was born in Berlin, but grew up in Arizona and attended Cactus Shadows High School in Cave Creek, Arizona. He is part of the Hualapai Nation, which is located in Northern Arizona, and, like Stephenie Meyer, he is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He is the seventh of eight children (Mac, Sean, Aaron, Josh, Cheyenne, Sariah, Lakota), and his mother, Camille Nighthorse Gordon, is also an actress. In addition to acting, Kiowa is also a vocalist, and used to be a member of a progressive metal band called Touché, leaving it to focus on acting and his fans.
In 2009, Gordon played shape-shifter Embry Call in New Moon, based on Stephenie Meyer's novel of the same name. Gordon stated that Meyer approached him at church as she thought he would be perfect for the wolf pack. He then attended an open casting call where he landed the role of Jacob Black's best friend. He has now finished Eclipse, reprising his role as Embry. Kiowa replaced Krys Hyatt, who played Embry in Twilight. He has declared that he will reprise his role of Embry in Breaking Dawn - Part 1. Gordon will also play Brad in "Into The Darkness".

ASPEN, Colo.—The federal Drug Enforcement Administration already has a tense relationship with Aspen authorities over what the feds believe is a lack of cooperation in drug investigations.
Now the DEA has a new gripe—the town's lack of parking.
According to the Aspen Daily News ( http://tinyurl.com/apxja3o), agent Lori Butler testified during the cocaine-trafficking trial of former Aspen resident Montgomery Chitty on Tuesday that the town's pedestrian atmosphere means that the feds sometimes can't find a parking spot, making it difficult to tail suspects.
Aspen police said Wednesday they are not in charge of parking and they don't give out parking permits.

text: I guess one obvious question before any critique would be is this a world with earth-like realism, of similar size and climate systems? Assuming a fully natural earth-like world, you would certainly have some climate issues. The general look is pretty good. I like the shapes and colors and such.

Kelly L. Murdock continues his overview of editing and posing figures in Poser 8 in this excerpt from Poser 8 Revealed.
Each figure is made up of several distinct body parts that you can select independently. Any object that can be selected from the Actor list is an element consisting of body parts, props, lights, and cameras. Selecting specific elements is the key to being able to pose a figure.
Selecting from the Document Window
When you drag over an element in the Document Window, it becomes highlighted. If you click the element when it is highlighted, the element is selected and its name appears in the Actor list at the top of the Document Window, as shown in Figure 3-10, and in the title bar of the Parameters/Properties palette.
Many times, multiple elements can be positioned in the same place, making it difficult to highlight the exact element you want to select. If you right-click in the Document Window, all elements that are currently under the mouse cursor are listed in the Select menu. They are listed in order from the elements closest to the camera to the ones farther back. The element's distance from the camera view is stored in memory in an array called the Z-Buffer. This feature is very helpful when selecting individual parts of the fingers.
Selecting from a List
Another way to select figure body parts is by selecting them from the Actor list at the top of the Document Window and in the title bar of the Parameters/Properties palette, as shown for the Chest element in Figure 3-11. Both of these lists are identical and include menu options for selecting Body Parts, Body, Props, Cameras, and Lights. Selecting the Body Parts menu presents a long list of body parts. Only one figure element can be selected at a time.
Selecting the Body option from the Actor list selects the entire figure. For some figures, the body parts list is quite long. You can also move through the Actor list using the up and down arrow keys to cycle through the various elements.
Naming Elements
The default names in the Actor list match the various body parts such as Chest, Right Hand, and Left Forearm, but you can use the Name field in the Properties palette, shown in Figure 3-12, to change the name of any selected element. Once an element has a new name, this name will appear in the Actor list, but Poser also maintains an internal name that it uses to coordinate the body part with its adjacent body parts. This internal name cannot be changed in the Properties panel.
Hiding and Locking Elements (Actors)
You can hide elements by disabling the Visible option in the Properties palette. This won't delete the element, but only hide it from view. Figure 3-13 shows a figure with its chest element hidden. To make a hidden element visible again, you'll need to select the element from the Actor list and enable the Visible option again.
The selected actor can also be locked to its parent to help maintain its current orientation. For example, if you lock the figure's neck, then the head will maintain its orientation to the body when the rest of the body is moved. The lock command is available in the Object, Lock Actor menu. When locked, a checkmark appears to the left of the menu. Selecting the menu option again will unlock the selected actor.
Setting Other Element Properties
The Visible in Ray Tracing option causes the element's reflection to be cast to objects in the scene when raytracing is enabled during the rendering phase. Raytracing is covered in Chapter 16, "Rendering Scenes."
The Bend option lets you specify whether the selected element bends to stay connected to its adjacent parts when moved. Disabling this option can cause gaps to appear in the figure. The Casts Shadows option causes the element to display a shadow in the Document Window when the Shadow toggle is enabled. The other properties are covered in subsequent chapters.
Setting Element Styles
Just like setting a specific figure style is possible, you can also set the display style for a specific element using the Display, Element Style menu command. The default option is Use Figure Style or you can select one of the 12 display styles. Figure 3-14 shows a figure that uses several element display styles.
When using the Cartoon display style, detailed textured body parts like the eyes lose all their details, but using a different display style for the eyes will bring some details back.
Select and Hide Elements
1. Open Poser with the default Ryan figure visible.
2. Click the Left Thigh element in the Document Window to select it.
The element is highlighted and its name appears in the Actor list at the top of the Document Window.
3. Select Window, Parameter Dials to open the Parameters/Properties palette, if it isn't already open, and click the Properties tab.
4. Disable the Visible option.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 4 for the Right Thigh, Left Shin, and Right Shin elements.
6. Click the Head element in the Document Window to select it.
7. Select Display, Element Style, Cartoon with Lines.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the other visible body parts.
The visible elements are displayed using the Cartoon with Lines style to look like a Genie, as shown in Figure 3-15.
9. Select File, Save As and save the file as Half a figure.pz3.
Rotate (R) Twist (W) Translate/Pull (T) Translate In/Out (Z) Scale (S) Taper (P) Chain Break (L) Color (C) Grouping Tool View Magnifier Morphing Tool Direct Manipulation
In order to pose figures, you need to learn how to move, rotate, twist, and scale the different figure elements. The Editing tools in Figure 3-16 can help you accomplish these tasks. You can open this set of tools using Window, Editing Tools. You can select only one editing tool at a time, with the current tool being highlighted in yellow.
The tools covered below are those available in the Pose room. Other tools are available in other rooms and these will be covered in the later chapters.You can use all the Editing tools also on figures and props in addition to body parts.
Moving Figure Elements
One of the first places to start when posing a figure is to move the various elements. A good example of this is dragging the upper arm to raise or lower the entire arm. There are a couple of Editing tools you can use to move figure elements, including the Translate/Pull tool and the Translate In/Out tool.
When translating body parts, the body part highlighted in white moves when you drag in the Document Window. The red highlighted object is the current selection.
The Translate/Pull tool (T) is the one tool that is selected when Poser is first started. It allows you to move figure elements within the XY plane. The Translate In/Out tool (Z) moves the selected element in and out of the Z plane, which is towards or away from the current camera view. Figure 3-17 shows a simple pose accomplished by translating the upper arms using these two tools.
Rotating and Twisting Elements
You use the Rotate tool (R) to rotate elements about their joints. For example, if you drag on the selected forearm object with the Rotate tool, it will rotate about the elbow joint. Dragging an element with the Twist tool (W) causes it to rotate about its joint axis. For example, dragging the abdomen element with the Twist tool makes a figure twist about its waist. Figure 3-18 shows a figure whose forearms have been rotated with the Rotate tool and whose waist has been twisted with the Twist tool.
Scaling and Tapering Elements
The Scale tool (S) changes the size of the element along a single axis, but you can cause the element to be uniformly scaled along all axes at the same time by holding down the Shift key while dragging. The Taper tool (P) is similar to the Scale tool, except it scales only one end of an element leaving the other unchanged. The result of a tapered element is to make the object long and thin or short and fat. Figure 3-19 shows a figure whose chest and collarbones have been scaled.
Coloring Elements
Although the real place to apply colors and textures to a figure element is in the Material Room, which is covered in Chapter 8, "Creating and Applying Materials," you can place basic flat colors to elements using the Color tool (C). Clicking with this tool on an element causes a pop-up color palette, shown in Figure 3-20, to appear. You can select a color from this pop-up color palette by dragging over the color that you want to select. Clicking a color in the palette closes the pop-up color palette. Figure 3-21 shows a figure with a dark color applied to its body.
The Color tool adds colors to material groups such as Shirt, Pants, Skin Color, and so on, instead of to elements. If you create a new material group, then you can apply color to a specific element. More on material groups is covered in Chapter 8, "Creating and Applying Materials."
Using the View Magnifier Tool The View Magnifier tool allows you to zoom in on an area without changing the parameters of the current camera. To use it, simply click the area that you want to zoom in on. Each successive click zooms further in on an area. Clicking with the Ctrl key (or Command key on the Mac) held down zooms out. You can also zoom in on a region by dragging over the zoom area with the View Magnifier tool. Figure 3-22 shows a zoomed figure that used the View Magnifier tool.
Using the Direct Manipulation Tool
The Direct Manipulation tool surrounds the selected element with icons that can be used to move, rotate, and scale the selected element, as shown in Figure 3-23. By dragging these controls, you can change the element's position, rotation, and scale in the X, Y, and Z axes. The yellow boxes at each axis let you scale the selected object and the red, green, and blue circles let you rotate about a single axis with red for the X-axis, green for the Y-axis, and blue for the Z-axis. These controls have the same effect as dragging the corresponding parameter dial.
The mouse cursor changes to match the corresponding action when moving it over the top of the various controls for the Direct Manipulation tool.
Use the Editing Tools
1. Open Poser with the default Ryan visible.
2. Select Window, Editing Tools to make the Editing Tools buttons visible if they aren't already visible.
3. Click the Translate/Pull tool (or press the T key) and drag on the left shoulder to raise it to be horizontal with the ground. Repeat for the right shoulder so both arms are outstretched.
4. Click the Translate In/Out tool (or press the Z key) and drag the left shoulder until it is stretched in front of the figure. Repeat for the right shoulder so both arms are stretched out in front of the figure.
The chest of the figure will lean forward as you pull the arms forward.
5. Select From Left from the Camera Controls pop-up menu.
6. Click the Rotate tool (or press the R key) and drag the abdomen until the figure's torso is vertical again.
7. Click the Translate/Pull tool (or press the T key), select and drag the left foot, and pull it out and up from the figure as if the figure were taking a step.
The side view of the figure shows the figure with both arms outstretched taking a step forward, as shown in Figure 3-24.
8. Select File, Save As and save the file as Zombie march.pz3.
Color Elements
1. Open Poser with the Ryan Casual mannequin visible.
2. Select Window, Editing Tools to make the Editing Tools buttons visible, if necessary.
3. Click the Color tool (or press the C key) and click the figure's shirt.
A pop-up color palette appears with the title Diffuse Material: Shirt.
4. Select a black color.
The shirt area of the figure is colored black and the pop-up color palette is closed, as shown in Figure 3-25.
5. Select File, Save As and save the file as Black shirt.pz3.
Use the Direct Manipulation Tool
1. Open Poser with the Ryan figure visible.
2. Select Window, Editing Tools to make the Editing Tools buttons visible (if necessary).
3. Select the neck object in the Document Window and use the View Magnifier tool to zoom in on the neck and head region.
4. Select the Direct Manipulation tool from the Editing tools.
Manipulation controls surround the neck element.
5. Drag the right scale control icon to the right in the Document Window.
The figure now has a larger belly section, as shown in Figure 3-26.
6. Select File, Save As and save the file as Scaled jaw.pz3.

May 6, 2016
President Barack Obama will nominate John Brennan as his next director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Brennan, a 25-year CIA veteran, currently serves as Obama's top counterterrorism adviser. The White House says the president will announce Brennan's nomination during an event Monday afternoon.
At the same event, an administration official says, the president will also formally announce that he is nominating Chuck Hagel as his next defense secretary. Both men must be confirmed by the Senate.
Obama considered Brennan for the top CIA job in 2008. But Brennan withdrew his name amid questions about his connection to enhanced interrogation techniques while serving in the spy agency during the George W. Bush administration.
Brennan denied involvement in the controversial interrogation tactics, including waterboarding, and has spoken out against them.

New Hospital FAQ
- Details
- Created: 08-12-31
I have been asked a number of very good questions regarding the new hospital over the past few months and in today's article I thought I'd share those with you.
Q: Why are you building a hospital with the same number of beds, 60, which we currently have at the current hospital?
A: Before performing any design and development of the new hospital, we asked the architects, NTD Stickler, how big the new facility should be in our community. They informed us the current standard is to build one bed for every 1,000 people living in the area. The population service area (Lompoc, Vandenberg Village, Mission Hills, Mesa Oaks, Vandenberg Air Force Base and surrounding areas) is approximately 60,000 people. Using the current construction standards, we are building a large enough hospital to accommodate current and future growth.
The number of hospital beds required for a community has changed dramatically over the years. I had my appendix taken out in 1958 and stayed in the hospital for seven days. These days, a noncomplicated appendix removal performed laproscopically allows the patient to go home the same day. In the past 20 years, technological advances — coupled with changing philosophies regarding how long a patient needs to stay in the hospital — have significantly reduced the number of days in bed for patients.
Q: What added services will be in the new hospital?
A: Everything that has been designed and purchased is state-of-the-art. Lompoc Valley Medical Center's operating rooms will have the most modern anesthesia, patient-monitoring equipment and lighting available. Our obstetrics department will have six state-of-the-art labor/delivery/postpartum rooms. Women delivering babies at LVMC will be admitted to one room and stay there the entire time.
The new radiology equipment recently purchased will be the most modern in Santa Barbara County. We have added PET scanning capability along with new nuclear medicine equipment, enabling our department to perform thallium scans to evaluate heart function.
Everything will be digital, including mammography equipment, and accessible via our secure network. Members of our medical staff and consulting physicians will be able to see patient studies from anywhere in the world. Truly amazing!
Q: What will happen to the old hospital?
A: As of now, there are no plans for the old hospital other than to possibly sell the land and building. In 1995, LVMC reached an agreement with the city of Lompoc to move the Community Center into 15,000 square feet currently occupied by the cafeteria, emergency department, and laboratory. The city staff and Park and Recreation Commission toured the property and requested that the city also explore additional sites to relocate the community center functions. The decision by the city to use the 15,000 square feet at the hospital, or move to another site, will obviously affect the use of the current hospital. We have been working closely with our colleagues at the city to reach a win-win situation for both organizations.
Q: When will the hospital open?
A: I am very proud to say we currently are on budget and time for the completion of the building, which is near the end of 2009. Our current timetable has substantial completion of the "I" building, which you see under construction now, to be December 2009. We have given ourselves three months to complete testing of all systems and moving of equipment into the building in preparation of the first patient. Once all systems are go, the state licensing will survey the building and approve it as an acute care hospital. Shortly after receiving approval from the state, we will coordinate shutting down the current hospital while ramping up the new facility.
We look forward to having you celebrate that day with us.
Jim Raggio is the CEO of the Lompoc Valley Medical Center. He has been in the health-care industry for 27 years and has resided in Lompoc since 1980.
