DENVER — The 20th Annual Survey of Third-Party Logistics Provider CEOs, sponsored by Penske Logistics, revealed that despite a slow economy, North American CEOs have their sights set on growth, expecting their companies to increase revenues by an average of 14.6 percent over the next three years.
This year, 3PL CEOs, surveyed in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific regions, are generally optimistic about company and industry growth prospects over the next one and three-year periods. North American and European CEOs forecasted higher three year company revenue growth projections than last year, 14.6 percent and 10.3 percent, respectively. For the three-year period, Asia-Pacific CEOs projected 11.6 percent growth, down from 12.5 percent in 2012.
The CEOs were also asked to project regional 3PL industry revenue growth rates for the next three years in all three regions. For that three-year period, the CEOs projected average regional revenue growth rates of 8.29 percent in North America, 5.9 percent in Europe and 8.0 percent in the Asia-Pacific region.
The survey was presented at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) Annual Global Conference by survey author, Dr. Robert Lieb, professor of supply chain management at Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business, and Joe Carlier, senior vice president of sales for Penske Logistics. The findings analyze responses from 34 major third-party logistics company CEOs across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific whose companies generated approximately $50 billion in revenue in 2012. The report was co-authored with Dr. Kristin Lieb, Associate Professor of Marketing Communications, Emerson College. The survey is underwritten by Penske Logistics, a leading provider of third-party logistics services.
Globally, 52 percent of companies either met or exceeded their revenue projections in 2012, down from 63 percent in 2011. More than two-thirds of these logistics companies were profitable during 2012. The continued instability of the Euro-zone economy and migration of some manufacturing out of China meant lower profitability in the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions (50 and 56 percent experienced moderate profitability, respectively). However, regional opportunities are instilling confidence in the industry.
"Despite Euro-zone challenges and some slowing of manufacturing activity in China, opportunities to expand services geographically have both regions poised for growth," Lieb said. "Expansion into eastern Europe and Russia and an increased focus on servicing domestic consumption within China provide 3PLs with the opportunity to strengthen and stabilize their operations in those regions by filling out the services offered and customer base."
Global Near-shoring and Manufacturing Trends
The survey revealed that some manufacturing activity is leaving China, impacting both Asia-Pacific and North American regions significantly. Within Asia-Pacific, 78 percent of CEOs claimed that rising wage costs in China have caused companies to shift some manufacturing and export consolidation to lower-priced geographies, including Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. In the North American region, the migration toward near-shoring continues with some key 3PL accounts moving from Asia-Pacific to Mexico. In particular, companies in the automotive, technology and pharmaceutical industries have moved some sourcing and manufacturing activities to Mexico. Eighty-seven percent of the North American CEOs involved in the survey reported providing third-party logistics services in Mexico, generating an average of 9.3 percent of their revenues in the U.S. This number is projected to increase to an average of 12.5 percent in three years.
"As companies begin shifting their product origins to local regions, they will look for a third-party logistics provider that can strategically navigate through the new normal in the supply chain industry," Carlier said. "This includes the shift in supply chain length, changes in speed and demand for warehousing and transportation along trade corridors."
Major Supply Chain and Logistics Industry Trends and Insights
• Talent Management: Finding and keeping talent, specifically managers, has ranked as one of the most significant market challenges in each regional response over the past twenty years. To ensure a bright future, third-party logistics providers must be competitive across multiple dimensions when it comes to hiring, and they must try to understand what the new generation of employees are looking for in an employer.
• Forecasting Revenue: With slow economic growth continuing over the next year, North American third-party logistics CEOs expect there to be a greater emphasis on developing new financial and economic indicators to provide more accurate revenue projections.
• Sustainability: The third-party logistics industry continues to get "greener," with 56 percent of companies launching new sustainability initiatives during 2012. However, these initiatives have not yet been linked to attracting new customers or keeping current customers.
• Retail/ E-commerce: Shifting dynamics in the global retail economy towards omnichannel retailing has led to an expansion of reverse logistics activities in North America and increased popularity of e-commerce and e-fulfillment in Asia-Pacific.
• Healthcare: Twenty-eight of the 34 companies provide third-party logistics services to customers in the healthcare industry, and many cited increasing regulations of the industry as being a major challenge in their efforts to grow business in that vertical.

News Releases
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins on Monday announced the addition of Pat Ferschweiler to their hockey operations staff as an assistant coach. He replaces Jim Paek, who served as the Griffins' assistant coach for nine seasons (2005-14) before being named director of hockey for the Korea Ice Hockey Association (KIHA) and head coach of the Korean Men's National Team in July.
Ferschweiler, 44, recently concluded his fourth season behind the bench at Western Michigan University, where he helped the team to a 19-16-5 record. The Rochester, Minn., native served as an assistant coach with the Broncos from 2010-13 before being promoted to associate head coach for the 2013-14 season.
In his inaugural campaign with Western Michigan in 2010-11, Ferschweiler served under the charge of current Griffins head coach Jeff Blashill and helped the team to a 19-13-10 record, more than doubling the win total from the Broncos' previous season. Blashill and Ferschweiler's squad finished fourth in the CCHA with a conference record of 10-9-9 and earned its first bid to the CCHA championship game since 1996 after defeating the top-seeded Michigan, 5-2, in the CCHA semifinals.
During his second season with Western Michigan, Ferschweiler assisted the Broncos in earning their first CCHA Tournament championship since 1986. Under his guidance, current Red Wings defenseman and former Griffin Danny DeKeyser was named Second Team All-CCHA and Second Team All-American.
In 2004, Ferschweiler took on the role of general manager and head coach of the Russell Stover Under-18 team of the Midwest Elite Hockey League. In six seasons at the helm of the U18 team, Ferschweiler established the club as one of the country's elite hockey programs and led the team to numerous Midwest Regional Championships. Most recently, he helped Russell Stover to a third-place finish at the 2010 USA Hockey Tier I 18U National Tournament.
On top of his coaching duties with Russell Stover, Ferschweiler simultaneously acted as the director of hockey for the Kansas City Stars youth organization from 2005-09 and helped train coaches at both the travel and house level.
"I am excited to add Pat to our staff," said Blashill. "Having worked together at WMU, I know firsthand that Pat is an outstanding hockey coach. He excels in developing players, and he has a great hockey mind and a great ability to communicate his thoughts. Most importantly, Pat relates to his players and builds relationships that extend beyond his time coaching them. He'll be a great asset to the Griffins and Red Wings organizations."
Prior to his coaching career, Ferschweiler enjoyed an eight-year playing career spanning the International Hockey League, East Coast Hockey League and British Ice Hockey Superleague. Most notably, he spent six seasons as a right wing with the IHL's Kansas City Blades, who were owned by Griffins President & CEO Dan DeVos. Ferschweiler was one of the most prominent players in Blades history, compiling 159 points (46-113—159) in 355 games to rank among the franchise's all-time leaders in games played (4th), assists (8th) and points (9th).
Ferschweiler is a 1993 graduate of Western Michigan, where he spent three seasons (1990-93) with the Broncos and accumulated 95 points (30-65—95) in 116 collegiate games. In his senior campaign, he earned honors as the Rob Hodge Most Valuable Player after amassing a career-best 15 goals and 20 assists.

He has been told he has missed payments, owes fees and interest. He has hired a lawyer, went to court, only to have a judge deny all proof of payment, and charge him even more money with the supposed recalculations they did. Now, keep in mind, the children are now 26 and 23. We shouldn't even be dealing with AZ anymore, we are still getting statements for the monthly paperwork fee. We have written over and over again, nobody has a clue what is going on.
We have paid off my husbands child support obiligation three times now..with overages of approx. $30,000, just to try and keep a clear credit report. The state of AZ, just keeps saying we owe more. What can you do, when even a judge turns a blind eye to the illegal goings on in this state were child support payments are concerned.
We have never seen such a scam in our entire lives. I pity any father who has to deal with the state of AZ, as they are clueless, or maybe not. They sure have the ripoff the dad pattern down well. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.

I would be so happy if our bedroom looked like this, but instead it looks a little more like this:
which is why, sadly, we do not have a Shop to feature this week for our Shop 52 project. We plan on picking up right where we left off next week, though. In the meantime we need your help! We would like to know how you all would feel about finding our Traveling Tribe in one location rather than being divided between here and Traveling Mama. Do you read one blog or both?

– The Capitol Hill Times –
Sully McGinnis waxes poetic over some purple wax beans at the Broadway Sunday Farmer's Market. "Look at all this stuff," he says in front of tables brimming with field vegetables, "This is really beautiful." He's shopping for his kitchen at home, but that's not why he knows so many of the vendors. McGinnis has been an advocate for Farm-to-Table food culture for years and made many of his connections with western Washington's producers while residing in Bellingham. In his time there, Sully helped build a community of farmers, cooks and restaurant folk just as concepts like localism were taking hold throughout the Cascade region. Now, he has a new mission plugged into the sensibilities of Seattle's booming food business. That mission is the Kitchen Sink Project.
The Kitchen Sink Project is, in essence, part catering service and part social outreach. Patrons invite McGinnis into their homes and businesses to teach them about the food they eat and to introduce them to foods they've never tried. His lessons aren't just cooking classes, either. McGinnis talks to his patrons about the farmer who grew the food, what the cultivation process is like, and how the food comes to market, among other things.
"If I can tell the story of where their food comes from and who I sourced it from, and to reduce that gap between producer and eater, then maybe the next time someone sits down to eat, they slow down and appreciate where it comes from," he says.
Sully McGinnis found meaning in food early in his life. He spent a lot of time in the kitchen with his parents when he was growing up. Diagnosed with several learning disabilities, McGinnis got everything from math tutoring to history lessons through cooking. He ended up developing a love for the culinary arts that put him on a career path he maintains to this day. He first got his hands dirty at a bar called Miller's Crossing in Helena, Mont. He describes his work under the unrelenting tutelage of owner Bonnie Miller:
"She would really work me. She never let me get away with anything. If it wasn't perfect, it was like, 'Go back and start it again.'"
McGinnis moved from Montana to Bellingham in 2002, where much of his mother's family lived. After spending several years as a preschool teacher, he made the switch to Seattle in August of 2010 to be a part of the city's emerging food scene. He was the chef at Prospect Enrichment Preschool just a few blocks from Volunteer Park. After two school years, Sully McGinnis transitioned to a mix of cottage industry with the Kitchen Sink Project and a special role at the soon-to-reopen Vessel Restaurant downtown. He will be Vessel's cheesemonger.
McGinnis' understanding of cheese goes far beyond the academic level. Starting in Bellingham's Farm-to-Table program, he developed a relationship with some of western Washington's up-and-coming dairy producers. He has worked on these farms and gotten to know the farmers, cows, sheep and goats responsible for some seriously delicious curds and whey. McGinnis knows the Broadway Market vendors from Mt. Townsend Creamery in Port Townsend, Samish Bay Cheese in Bow, and Willapa Hills Farmstead in Doty. They all bring their goods to the long line of stalls in front of Seattle Central Community College. Sully McGinnis knows the story of every wedge and wheel.
"See how it's got that subtle earthiness and a little bit of extra salt?" he says while the vendor at the Mt. Townsend Creamery booth cuts samples of their Seastack soft cheese. Together, McGinnis and the vendor walk customers through everything from the regional aesthetics of the flavor to the unique use of vegetable ash in the Seastack. McGinnis is eager to experiment with a new line of ale-washed cheeses at the booth, though he has new ideas at every stop he makes from one end of the market to the other.
The love Sully McGinnis feels for his city and its food is easy to see, but he's not content to just make new cheese dishes at Vessel. He actually expresses as much, if not more, enthusiasm for Popcycl.es, a local micro-business that launched this year with a unique approach: They vend frozen treats out of bicycle carts. McGinnis loves this concept not just because it's funny and memorable, but also because it's inexpensive and relies on public events.
"We're starting to see more chefs and food people who can't afford permanent spaces," McGinnis observes. "We're utilizing rental kitchens and doing what I do with these demos and going into people's homes, doing events."
The average price of a Kitchen Sink Project experience is $20 to $25 dollars per person, but McGinnis recognizes the need for a sliding scale in his business.
"If we do a caviar tasting, it's going to be a little bit pricier," he says, "But a bubblegum tasting? That'll maybe cost you $10 or $15."
It was neither caviar nor bubblegum that introduced Seattle to the Kitchen Sink Project. Instead, it was sack lunches. In May of 2012, the Kitchen Sink Project provided approximately 100 free sack lunches to people at Flo Ware Park in the Central District. It was the park's 30th anniversary, a holiday dedicated to community activist Flo Ware, who died in 1981. Sully McGinnis was the man behind the celebration and the hand that fed 100 people on May 8.
The Kitchen Sink Project books events throughout the greater Seattle area. All gratuity paid for KSP events goes into the Kitchen Sink Foundation fund for scholarships and community improvement.

There is strong evidence indicating that elevated plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) levels are a major independent biomarker and/or a contributor to chronic conditions, such as CVD. A deficiency of vitamin B12 can elevate homocysteine. Vegetarians are a group of the population who are potentially at greater risk of vitamin B12 deficiency than omnivores. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to appraise a range of studies that compared the homocysteine and vitamin B12 levels of vegetarians and omnivores. The search methods employed identified 443 entries, from which, by screening using set inclusion and exclusion criteria, six eligible cohort case studies and eleven cross-sectional studies from 1999 to 2010 were revealed, which compared concentrations of plasma tHcy and serum vitamin B12 of omnivores, lactovegetarians or lacto-ovovegetarians and vegans. Of the identified seventeen studies (3230 participants), only two studies reported that vegan concentrations of plasma tHcy and serum vitamin B12 did not differ from omnivores. The present study confirmed that an inverse relationship exists between plasma tHcy and serum vitamin B12, from which it can be concluded that the usual dietary source of vitamin B12 is animal products and those who choose to omit or restrict these products are destined to become vitamin B12 deficient. At present, the available supplement, which is usually used for fortification of food, is the unreliable cyanocobalamin. A well-designed study is needed to investigate a reliable and suitable supplement to normalise the elevated plasma tHcy of a high majority of vegetarians. This would fill the gaps in the present nutritional scientific knowledge.

Today the International Boxing Hall of Fame and Museum announced its Class of 2013, which includes the late Arturo Gatti, Virgil Hill and Myung-Woo Yuh. Non-participant inductees include retired referee Mills Lane and ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr.
Gatti, who died by mysterious means in 2009 at the age of 37, was one of the most popular fighters of the 1990s and 2000s. The all-action boxer-slugger won major titles at junior lightweight and junior welterweight. He is best known for his thrilling trilogy with Micky Ward and for being in breath-taking brawls, including THE RING's Fight of the Year four times. He retired in 2007 with a record of 40 wins (30 by knockout) and nine losses.
Hill is a two-time light heavyweight beltholder who made 20 title defenses over two reigns spanning 10 years (1987-1997). The 1984 Olympic silver medalist also won a major title at cruiserweight. Hill beat seven titleholders, including Henry Maske, Bobby Czyz, Lou Del Valle and Fabrice Tiozzo (twice). He retired in 2007 with a record of 50 wins (23 by KO) and seven losses.
Yuh is one of South Korea's most decorated boxers. The junior flyweight won the WBA 108-pound title with a 15-round decision over Joey Olivo in 1985 and defended the belt 18 times over two reigns that lasted until 1993. Yuh's only loss was a split decision to Hiroki Ioka in '91, which he reversed a year later. Both bouts took place in Ioka's native Japan. Yuh retired in '93 with a record of 38 wins (14 by KO) and one loss.
Lane, Lennon and journalist Colin Hart – as well as lightweight Wesley Ramey and middleweight Jeff Smith in the Old-Timer Category (posthumous); manager Arturo "Cuyo" Hernandez in the Non Participant Category (posthumous); cartoonist Ted Carroll in the Observer Category (posthumous); and Joe Coburn in the Pioneer Category (posthumous) – were also inducted.
"We're extremely excited about the Class of 2013 and very much looking forward to honoring the 24th class of inductees," said Executive Director Edward Brophy.
The 24th Annual Hall of Fame Weekend is scheduled for June 6-9th in Canastota, N.Y. The Official Enshrinement Ceremony on the Hall of Fame Museum Grounds takes place on Sunday, June 9th.
Inductees were voted in by members of the Boxing Writers Association and a panel of international boxing historians.

Scariest day of my life!
To the doorknob expert: I live in an apartment building from 1972, it got recently renovated, all doors got exchanged for new ones, kitchen gutted etc. We have exactly one of those doorknobs with any kind of unlock function, all the others don't have them. Guess which one unlocks? Yes, our bedroom closet... But you know what sucks? The mechanism is all fucked up, it doesn't move at all, no matter how I try it.
The other knobs don't have any sort if safety feature, I just double checked all our doors (we only have 5 interior doors). So there goes that theory... But I should probably google that shit...
Congrats, you're not a whore! - Allouette
We served in Libya from 2009-2011 (Arab Spring evacuation). Anyway, in 2010 my then 6 month old slammed the automatically-locking front door shut while I was outside throwing trash out. So, there I was, unable to get inside, frantic for my baby, and to top it off in a tank top bra-less in a conservative Muslim country. Luckily some neighbors heard my cry and ran over to help. I wrapped the dormat around my "ladies" and watched as they kicked the door in. Quite a morning. I baked them cookies later! Embassy wasn't as understanding....
Wife to an amazing man and mama to the most ridiculously handsome boys in the world!
Glad your kid is Ok OP. Whatever damage it caused is worth it.
Just a tip for unlocking the doors that do have a hole-the inside of a typical Bic pen (just the ink the the skinny plastic tube part) is the most perfect tool and kicks any hairpin's ass. Works in seconds.
This is why we can't have nice things.
WTF is with people needing to nail other moms to the wall so fucking badly? If, god forbid, OP's story had had a tragic ending, you can bet the same judgey posters would be saying "why didn't you just bust the door down??"
Who is this Rorschach guy, and why did he paint all those pictures of my parents fighting?
^^^^ This!!
Love is not a fight,but it's something worth fighting for!
Thankfully your baby is ok OP! I can guarantee I would not be messing around trying to find something small enough to fit into one of those locking doorknobs. I have had to pick one, once. It took forever. And i have none of those in this house. They are glass knobs, and have to be turned (hard) one way or it won't open. They also don't open from the outside. So damn right that door would have come down.
Newsflash: no one gives a shit that you are now able to wear your vagina shorts to the gym. -CarbonCopy
My doors all have holes in them that unlock them. You should probably invest in them, takes all of 5 seconds to unlock them.
My scariest mommy moment was when this guy ran into my house, telling me my son had been hit by a car while on his bike. Thnakfully he was wearing a helmet, or the dent that was in the helmet would have been in his head.
Mel -mom to 3- DS1(1999)- DS2(2001)- DD(2007)-
I dig, you dig, we dig, she dig, he dig, they dig. It is not a very good poem, but it is very deep.

The Maple Leafs were looking to play spoiler but it took the Rangers just 21 seconds to open the scoring. Before the 11 minute mark of the first period it was 3-0 and the Leafs couldn't get back in the game.
Erik Christensen's second of the period put the Leafs down 3-0 and it was all over. The Leafs have been struggling to score in their last three games getting just two goals in that stretch.
The Rangers' top line of Erik Christensen, Marian Gaborik and Brandon Dubinsky were too much for the Leafs to handle on Wednesday. Not only did Christensen score two goals, Dubinsky had two assists while Gaborik had one as they combined for five points and a plus six.
Christensen was claimed off waivers from Anaheim and he has been a great pick up. He has played on the first line since his arrival and the Rangers have a record of 5-1-0 when he scores a goal.
Playing for the first time in five games and just the second in 12 games, Jeff Finger was by far the most physical of the Leafs on the night. He had a big hit on Marian Gaborik in the second period that the Rangers took exception to.
Finger hasn't seen lots of action this season but he hasn't complained as he has gone out and brought a physical dimension to the blueline. He had seven hits on the night which led both teams.
The Leafs played their final back-to-back of the season and their record in the second games wasn't very good. With the loss to New York, the Leafs fell to 5-11-2 in the second game. Overall they played on consecutive nights 18 times this season
WIth a young team fatigue shouldn't be a factor but a reason could be that the players aren't quite used to back-to-backs and the rigours that they put on them.
Ron Wilson's take on the game against the Rangers:
"Some guys didn't play and didn't respond physically when we needed it. The Rangers were playing with the intensity you need to play with when you're on the outside looking in. They are clawing and doing everything to get in."
Game Notes:
The Leafs close out the 2009-10 season against the rival Montreal Canadiens. The Canadiens have taken three of the first five games this season.
Depending on how things play out the next few days, the Canadiens could have a playoff spot locked up before the game starts.

Congressional Record: September 17, 2007Pages E1891-E1892https://www.congress.gov/crec/2007/09/17/CREC-2007-09-17-pt1-PgE1891-3.pdf
HON. STENY H. HOYERof Marylandin the House of RepresentativesMonday, September 17, 2007
Mr. HOYER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a great patriot, a dedicated public servant, and passionate pioneer whose contributions to scientific discovery and public health have improved the health of millions throughout the world: Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, Director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
Yesterday, the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation announced the selection of Dr. Fauci to receive the Mary Woodard Lasker Award for Public Service. Dr. Fauci is being honored in recognition of his leadership in engineering two major U.S. governmental programs addressing HIV and biodefense.
The Mary Woodard Lasker Award for Public Service is awarded biannually in recognition of extraordinary achievements. Mary Lasker is widely recognized for her singular contribution to the growth of the National Institutes of Health, and her strong commitment to eradicate disease and disability through medical research. Dr. Fauci's commitment to this Nation through his accomplished career reflects well on this award's namesake.
Since coming to the National Institutes of Health in 1968, Dr. Fauci has pushed the frontiers of scientific discovery in the field of immunology. In 1980, Dr. Fauci was named Chief of the Laboratory of Immunoregulation, a position he continues to hold. Four years later, Dr. Fauci was named Director of NIAID, where he oversees an extensive research program to prevent, diagnose, and treat infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, influenza, tuberculosis, malaria, and illnesses from potential agents of bioterrorism. Over the years, Dr. Fauci has been an excellent steward of this multi-billion dollar investment in infectious disease research.
Dr. Fauci has served for over 20 years as a key advisor to the White House and the Department of Health and Human Services on global AIDS issues, and on initiatives to bolster medical and public health preparedness to fight against emerging threats of infectious disease. He has assisted four Presidents in shaping the research priorities and public health demands of these formidable challenges.
Dr. Fauci has made enormous contributions to basic and clinical research. In 2003, an Institute for Scientific Information study indicated that over 20 years, Dr. Fauci was the 13th most-cited scientist among close to 3 million international authors in all disciplines. He has made seminal contributions to the understanding of the AIDS virus, and he has been instrumental in developing effective therapy strategies for those afflicted with this disease.
Madam Speaker, I can think of no individual more deserving of this recognition than Dr. Fauci. I am pleased to join with my colleagues and a grateful Nation in extending congratulations to Dr. Anthony Fauci for this well-deserved honor and thanking him for his unwavering commitment to scientific discovery and his role in spear heading the efforts to combat disease and undermine the threat of bioterrorism.

Salvadoran health authorities confirmed Saturday that a dengue-like disease that has been spreading across the Caribbean has now appeared in the Central-American country.

Post subject: Would folic acid increase nail growth
Well I don't know who else to ask as we have not told many people we are ttc.
I have been taking folic acid for about a month now and have noticed that my nails are growing really well and not breaking or flimsy. Would this be due to the folic acid or not? I haven't changed my diet or anything else. I also am getting VERY broody which is so not like me.
I was nearly crying when I was watching the news last night with Royals coming out with there baby from the hospital. God almighty I have never been like this before does this mean i'm ready to be pregnant would you say?

|Great hike to a summit with fantastic views. We climbed it early enough in the year to have avoided the hoards of people. I recommend the No. 4 Trail as it is somewhat longer and tends to be a little more remote. Great close up views of the Spires and not so many people.

|Shortly after visiting Mount Rushmore in the morning, my wife and I hiked up to South Dakota's highest point. We had beautiful (perfect, in my opinion) weather conditions and met a lot of great hikers (from all over the country) to talk with along the way, including many fellow hockey fans. I had photos taken at the tower (South Dakota's manmade highpoint) and at the true geographical highpoint. Good times. The views from the summit are spectacular. Highly recommended summit hike.

|Met two guys near the trailhead who were heading back due to "snow conditions we weren't equpped to deal with." I was with my 6 and 9 year olds wearing tennis shows and rubber raincoats. There was no snow at the trailhead and the most we ever got into was about 3-4 inches deep. THe only real problem we had was high winds at the summit that were strong enough to blow my kids over. Fortunately they love that kind of thing, so we had a great hike. Even saw a marmot crawling around in a stack of freshly cut logs at the trail head (Sylvan Lake). Pretty rare for the Black Hills from what I understand.

AKRON, Ohio, Nov. 20, 2013 – Summa Barberton Hospital's Parkview Cancer Center has been granted a three-year/full accreditation designation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a program administered by the American College of Surgeons. Accreditation by the NAPBC is only given to those centers that have voluntarily committed to provide the highest level of quality breast care and that undergo a rigorous evaluation process and review of their performance. During the survey process, the center must demonstrate compliance with standards established by the NAPBC for treating women who are diagnosed with the full spectrum of breast disease. The standards include proficiency in the areas of center leadership, clinical management, research, community outreach, professional education, and quality improvement. Of particular note is that the NAPBC surveyor stated that the seven best practices he verbally identified during his review of Parkview were the most he had ever documented in all of the programs he has surveyed over many years.
"We are extremely proud to have earned reaccreditation from the NAPBC," said Dr. Lee Anne Sprance, medical director of the Breast Care Program at Summa Barberton Hospital. "Our team has worked diligently on our best practices and we are committed to continuing to offer our patients the highest quality and most compassionate care."
Parkview is part of the Summa Cancer Institute's network of five cancer centers throughout Summit, Portage and Medina counties. The NAPBC is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to the improvement of the quality of care and monitoring of outcomes of patients with diseases of the breast. This mission is pursued through standard-setting, scientific validation, and patient and professional education. Its board membership includes professionals from 20 national organizations that reflect the full spectrum of breast care.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that there will be more than 232,000 patients diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in the United States in 2013. In addition, hundreds of thousands of women who deal with benign breast disease this year will require medical evaluation for treatment options.
Receiving care at a NAPBC-accredited center ensures that a patient will have access to:
• Comprehensive care, including a full range of state-of-the-art services
• A multidisciplinary team approach to coordinate the best treatment options
• Information about ongoing clinical trials and new treatment options
• Quality breast care close to home
For additional information on Parkview's services, please call 330-615-4126.

Analytical instruments assist the pharmaceutical manufacturing process in important ways. The devices can verify the identity and purity of raw materials, determine the appropriate end point of a process such as mixing, and ensure the quality of final dosage forms. Used in process analytics, these devices could one day help to enable the real-time release of finished products. This month's highlighted machines represent new developments in analytical instrumentation. Waters's analyzer can help scientists switch between liquid-chromatography methods. Malvern's light-scattering instrument aids protein characterization. A spectrometer from Hiden enables users to determine the end point of a lyophilization process.
Analytical system enables switch to UPLC
Instrument requires small sample volumes
Spectrometer enables real-time analysis
The analyzer's heated, viscous-flow capillary and fittings with low dead volumes enable its fast response times. The unit includes a HAL 3F/PIC mass spectrometer that offers 32-bit counting, thus providing a seven-decade continuous dynamic range that enables rapid analysis at concentrations at the ppm scale. The spectrometer's data-acquisition program records and displays information quickly. The program includes a soft-ionization mode for analyzing complex mixtures and a quantitative-analysis mode. Scientists can use the spectrometer to determine the end point of the lyophilization process and analyze solvents, water vapor, and air gases.

Race Report: Honda Indy 200
LEXINGTON, OH Aug. 3, 2014—Takuma Sato and the ABC Supply team endured another tough race as Lady Luck turned her back once again in the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio.
Starting 21st, Sato got off the line strong and picked up several positions but then found himself with nowhere to go due to a multi-car crash triggered by third place qualifier Tony Kanaan's spin in turn 4 which also collected Marco Andretti (who started 16th). Sato hit Andretti but was able to continue on, albeit with a damaged front wing assembly. With the race under a full course yellow, he pitted on lap two (when the pits opened) to have it replaced.
Pursuing an alternate fuel strategy, he pitted on lap 11, switching from the harder compound primary (black-rimmed) tires to the softer compound alternate (red-rimmed) tires. Running 19th, he neither gained nor lost positions on a track where it is notoriously difficult to pass. The race's second full course yellow came out on lap 37 for Ryan Hunter-Reay's spin in turn 12.
As Sato headed for the pits, the car sputtered off turn 6 and had to be towed in. He went a lap down. The race went caution-free after that and Sato never had the chance to get his lap back. He finished 18th.
"It was a disappointing race," said Sato. "We made a good start and picked up a couple of positions but then there was a multiple car accident in front of me and I couldn't avoid it. The front wing was damaged so we pitted and changed it. We went back racing again but unfortunately we ran out of fuel and I couldn't get back to the pits, so I had to be towed and we lost a lap. We kept going and the boys gave me great pit stops but our position never changed because we were a lap down. It was a really tough race. We just have to keep our motivation up."

The combination of layers on the Mixer Brush eats up a lot of processor power, so much so that sampling the color found on underlying layers can slow brush performance down. In this video, we'll take a look at the Mixer Brush's Sample All Layers option and I'll show you how to avoid potential interruptions in your creative flow. So the thing is that we've got this Sample All Layers option when we're in the Mixer Brush. You typically want to keep it off.
The reason is, as I mentioned at the beginning, when I start to paint on another layer, and let's just take something like the Smeary Brush. Now it's normally smeary, but you can see when it's not interacting with the layer below it. It doesn't smear, whereas another color on this layer will smear with it. If I want a color to smear with the color on a layer underneath of it, I have to enable Sample All Layers. Now, it's going to do the extra push to look at that color underneath of it.
Now, in this particular instance, just dealing with a color layer to sample color found underneath of it is not necessarily a huge performance hit. Where you're really going to find the issue however is when you're on cloning layers. If you're on a cloning layer, and using the cloner, Sample All Layers, if it's enabled is going to just slow your brush way down. So if you happen to be on a cloning layer with a cloning brush, and you start to paint and it's very slow, the first thing you should think of is Sample All Layers, and look up here and I'll guarantee you that you've got it checked.
So you normally want this unchecked, specifically when you're working on cloning layers. Now, I'm going to give you a little tip that is kind of hidden, and that is, you would think, okay, cloners only work with cloning layers. But guess what? They actually can perform two functions. So I'm going to get a round cloner here. Now, we're not on a cloning layer. What do you expect to happen when I use it? Well, watch this. It actually becomes a blending brush.
It's a brush that blends, but doesn't apply color. It could be very useful. In this case, I do want Sample All Layers on and now here I am blending colors very nicely, but it's on a separate layer completely. So this lets me do all kinds of blending and not be destructive about it. For example, normally I tell you keep Sample All Layers not enabled when you're using the cloning brush.
Well, when you're on a cloning layer, yes, but you may later on want to create a blank layer and then use the cloning brush in its alter ego, which is as a blender on a normal layer as I'm doing here, and then you could go over your cloning layer and use that same cloning brush on a normal layer to become a blender. So it's a nice technique for being able to use the cloning brush as a blender.
To kind of wrap this up, the Sample All Layers option can be very useful for blending color on overlapping, multiple-layer, underlying color, but in doing so, it can dramatically affect brush performance. Being processor and memory dependent, it's very difficult to predict whether or not it will affect your specific setup. For the most part, you can work with Sample All Layers disabled and never notice it. But don't forget my little trick. You can use the cloning brushes on regular layers and blend.
Very big trick.

OAKLAND -- It may have been the framed picture of four fallen Oakland police officers that the Perez-Maturano family had respectfully placed in their home. Or it may have been a tragedy that many of the officers on the scene that night related to.
Whatever the reason, Oakland police officers pulled together $3,000 for the family of 1-year-old Mahetzi Perez-Maturano, who was struck and killed by a truck, driven by the girl's uncle, on the night of Jan. 26.
"(This call) stood out because one of the things was these people had a memorial for the officers who were killed on March 21, 2009,'' said Sgt. Dom Arotzarena, president of the Oakland Police Officers Association. "It also touched their hearts, what happened."
The accident happened when the girl's 34-year-old uncle was backing his truck into the driveway of the 78th Avenue home where the Perez-Maturano family live. The front door was not securely closed and the girl darted outside behind the truck and was hit. She died on the scene but was rushed to Children's Hospital Oakland. Her organs were donated.
In addition to the $3,000, the police officers union added $500 and presented the money to the family on Tuesday. Earlier this month firefighters, police and the community collected $2,000 that went to the family for funeral costs.

Dear Abby: Retailers share advice about unruly kids
Dear Abby: I managed a retail store for 10 years, and I can relate to the shop owner who signed herself "Had It With Overindulged Kids" (June 28). She could turn things around by creating a designated play area and market to the children by taking any opened items and placing them there for a children's testing ground.
I had a "play table" with toys to keep them busy while their moms shopped. I put a gated area around it and a dads' bench in front of it so they could watch the children.
