Faith Leaders Call for an End to the Fiscal Cliff Crisis
Posted on December 13, 2012
Faith leaders gathered for the 14th National Religious Leaders Summit in Atlanta this week and among the issues they discussed were the looming '"fiscal cliff" and possible impact it will have on families across the country. The following letter was addressed to members of both houses of Congress and President Obama:
As National Faith Leaders from across the nation, and as heads of diverse denominations and organizations, we join with the NAACP in calling for the resolution of the "Fiscal Cliff" crisis as expeditiously as possible. In doing so, we must assure that the common good of our nation is protected, and the needs of the poor and most vulnerable of our nation are met.
Towards that end, we must insure that we maintain a compassionate tax system that is fair and equitable. We urge you to, first, remember all the people of this nation. We call on you to focus upon the task at hand. Given the potential dangers, America must use this crisis as an opportunity to focus on job stability and reject any actions that would cost jobs, reduce benefits for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid or damage our nation's safety net. We oppose any extension of the Bush tax cuts for the richest two (2) percent of Americans. We must work toward a fair and equitable sharing of responsibility for the resolution of this economic crisis.
Again, we hope that you will do all you can to see that the Congress and the Administration work together to resolve this critical crisis. We encourage you to reach out to our colleagues, the faith leaders of your community. They see, every day, in the faces of the people in the pews, the real impact of America's economic problems--just as they hear the cry of the people for the support of our government.
Thank you for considering our request.

That was quick: Nexus 4 sells out in U.K. Play Store in 30 minutes
0. phoneArena 13 Nov 2012, 04:19 posted on
The Nexus 4 is clearly the best value money can buy by a long shot. And now Google sold out of its initial Nexus 4 devices in 30 minutes after it launched on the Play Store…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. mydi.maus (unregistered)
that means no more nexus 4 for u.s ,,,hahaha
11. PhenomFaz (Posts: 1236; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
no its just the stock for UK...and whats to laugh about (besides you) ahahahahaha :)
13. wendygarett (unregistered)
If you think it can't sell well because of LG, you are wrong!!!
18. MeoCao (unregistered)
This is genius move by Google.
Google Play lags behind competition b-c people are too lazy to open an account with Play Store (with credit card info of course).
And now people flock in, they each have to open an account, give all the info only for a "CHANCE" to buy the greatest thing.
2. Retro-touch (Posts: 273; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
could be a marketing strategy, overload from idiots lurking (refreshing continually) waiting to buy as soon as its available or Google just underestimated demand, either way best to wait a bit. Heard people saying the add to cart button reappears from time to time
12. PhenomFaz (Posts: 1236; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
And people were skeptical as LG was making the hardware...Its a Nexus for cryin out loud...Its gonna sell baby no matter what!
24. MeoCao (unregistered)
LG phones always have good specs, but the design and software are not the best to put it mildly.
Hopefully after Nexus 4 LG has learned new skills in phone design and will make better phones next year.
44. JunitoNH (Posts: 1798; Member since: 15 Feb 2012)
Yeah they took a page from Apple, they probably only had one hundred devices in stock.

At this price no need for any "strategy" mate
any fool knows this thing is sweet.
27. blingblingthing (Posts: 529; Member since: 23 Oct 2012)
Exactly. At this price, android and those specs. Why should you not buy this device? Same as the nexus 7.
4. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
Nexus series is becoming as popular as galaxy series!!!!!!
8. dickwyn (Posts: 621; Member since: 07 May 2012)
i think they sold out so fast because the intital supply should be not that much
14. carlosechev07 (Posts: 39; Member since: 16 Oct 2012)
They sold faster than Nokia Lumia 920... LOL... hahahaha...
16. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
What ever it is.....nexus is considered as hot brand now....

The size of the first batch is not that important, the reaction of people is.
Play Store was overwhelmed by traffic,

Junk phone. This phone is dead on arrival vs iPhone . iPhone 5 trumps all phones specs wise, not to mention it's running on much more refined iOS.

Much refined iOS meaning better than older iOS versions but still not as good as Android can offer. Also iOS is so restricted.

your a joke @jstahl
23. jstahl (Posts: 79; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
Why? Just because I'm well informed and speak the truth? Forget the software, iPhone 5 hardware trumps all phones out there in the market.
29. blingblingthing (Posts: 529; Member since: 23 Oct 2012)
Really, please explain the results of the HTML 5 test between the iPhone 5 and galaxy s3?

Not even apple fanboys want to be seen with you much less agree with you LOL
NO Thumbs up for you LMFAO
25. rickywinataa (Posts: 262; Member since: 05 Apr 2012)
"iPhone 5 hardware trumps all phones out there in the market"
iPhone 5 has dual core, Nexus 4 has quad core
Both has the same megapixel on camera
Nexus 4 has larger resolution & bigger battery
the idea of A6 is more likely to copy S4 custom architecture
"not to mention it's running on much more refined iOS"
i wouldn't call an OS that looks the same since 2007 refined. WP is exciting for its uniqueness, android has a lot of changes in a short period of time. that's what people call refined. iOS is no slouch but it's just getting boring
35. darkkjedii (Posts: 21323; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
I wouldn't say trumps, but the iPhone 5 is a beast like the N4, gs3, and one x better than those phones tho? I'd say not, and yes I have an ip5.

19. Danre (Posts: 85; Member since: 02 Sep 2012)
World need more billions of nexus phone,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
20. Ramalth (Posts: 2; Member since: 11 Oct 2012)
It could be that with the difference between the Google Play and the street price, there are many resellers who are looking to make a quick buck, buying low and selling high, but not as high as retail...
21. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
Pretty soon I can see people giving up there current phone to get this phone and big portion of the world will all be nexus owners!!..........(including me)
22. mydi.maus (unregistered)
boo hooo,..no more nexus!!
26. rickywinataa (Posts: 262; Member since: 05 Apr 2012)
selling services & not phones = true innovative company
not that i want to bash apple, but it is true that they are selling gadgets at extremely high price without contact. john ive or tim cook can say that they want to give premium product but look at their profit margin. selling a $250 built device for around $600 is pretty crazy
48. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
That's 21st century version of "EXTORTION" ...

I love how when a article about anything other then android products selling out the android fan boys claiming something isn't right etc but when its an android product there is no questioning just accept it. I'm not saying this isn't true but its sad you android fans need to talk crap about anything you feel threatens your choice
Over the past couple weeks the android fan boys have been just like the apple ones, on all the wp8 you see it. So phone arena is biased towards apple, the comment section is full of android fans and anything differ an gets slated fast
36. darkkjedii (Posts: 21323; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
WOWWWWWW I NOW STAND CORRECTED!!! Am I reading this right? I stand corrected bro, I really do.
38. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
Corrected on what, I've never been a fanboy just you got it into your head I was a secret android user
I'm bored of all the fan boy crap, from all sides.
Recently android users have been acting exactly lie the apple trolls they complain about. They have gotten on there high horse about there choice of os
39. darkkjedii (Posts: 21323; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
I'll never accuse u again, I can admit when I'm wrong... I was wrong.
40. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
Doesn't matter about been wrong
But what does matter is how this site is going like every other tech site, where if you don't choose a side your seen as the enemy for some sad reason.
Just look on the wp8 articles all the android fanboys spreading hate for anything new
41. darkkjedii (Posts: 21323; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
That's true I've seen that a lot
42. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
I really like windows phone . Hell I'm using an HD7 with 7.5 on it right now until my nexus arrives. My SGS1 finally took a dirt nap after 2.5 years of extreme abuse.
I just like to tinker too much to stay with WP. That and its missing some apps that I need since im so tied into google services.
43. darkkjedii (Posts: 21323; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Makes sense bro
45. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
That's fair and down to your personal preferance, least your not slating every windows product and holding android up as this almighty is
Thats all I can't stand, especially when the same users attack apple for doing nothing new but then wp8 comes out its new and guess what they still slate it
46. darkkjedii (Posts: 21323; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
That's true, after a while its like what's the point ya know.

Baystate Health Cuts 354 Jobs
Baystate Health said it will eliminate 354 jobs from its payroll --- including 169 filled positions -- to help offset financial woes that the Springfield, MA health system blames mainly on lower patient volumes and reduced Medicaid reimbursements.
Baystate projects a $25 million budget shortfall in 2011 growing to $54 million in 2012 unless expenses are reduced.
"At Baystate Health, we embrace changing models of patient care and health coverage expansion – however, these changes are not based on a properly funded plan," Mark R. Tolosky, president/CEO of private, not-for-profit Baystate Health, said in a media release. "Massachusetts has expanded and enhanced healthcare for our residents which we applaud – but the Commonwealth is not paying for these commitments."
Tolosky said Massachusetts healthcare providers are faced with freezes in reimbursements for patient care by Medicaid and other state programs while medical inflation is rising at 3% - 4% annually, and that Baystate is paid less than the cost of the care it provide.
The three hospitals of Baystate Health -- Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Baystate Franklin Medical Center in Greenfield, and Baystate Mary Lane Hospital in Ware -- were underpaid $26.5 million by the state government for the cost of care for Medicaid patients in 2010. Medicaid patients represent 26% of the patient population at Baystate's hospitals, resulting in significant financial loss for care of these patients.


text: Forget your emotional ties to the downside, for now at least. You don't want to take on that appearance similar to a desperate pumper when things are looking bleak. The bottom line for this report is that it was improved and better than expected. Thus from your posts, the desperation looks to have switched sides.What are your charts saying to do? Where is the buy signal at?

Revised 8 April, 2009
Bungartz Agria Duestch Links Bottom of Page
Dr. von Meyenburg also licensed his patent to Siemens-Schuckert-Werke of Berlin, Germany. Siemens an electrical manufacturer built their first "boden frasen" using an electric motor and a long extension cord in 1911. The farmers did not like this ideal and was abandoned.
Siemens then replaced the electric motor with a gasoline engine and the rotary tiller brought the small-scale farmer into the Twentieth Century.
In 1923 the following article appeared in Scientific American magazine.
December, 1923 __________________________________________
Chewing Up the Soil for Better Crops
On the American market today there are several different manufactures of garden tractors, and now from England comes the description of one which differs radically from the American variety in that the soil is worked by a revolving member called a miller, instead of by the common toothed cultivating attachment. The function of the miller is to chew up the soil, mixing, lightening and incorporating it thoroughly with the fertilizer that has already been spread over it.
The rototiller is driven by a two-cycle, 8 to 10 horsepower engine. Lubrication is provided by mixing the oils with the gasoline in the tank, as in small engines used on motorboats. The engine cooled by means of a radiator of two gallons capacity and by a fan running on ballbearings. Ignition is by high-tension magneto. As in the case of the garden tractor, the controls are led to the handlebars. The motor is equipped with an aircleaner working on the labyrinth principle.
The bull-wheel shaft is driven by a steel worm working on a phosphorbronze worm wheel. The gears are of hardened nickel steel and run in an oil-bath. Two speeds are provided for, the high speed corresponding to over 1-1/2 miles per hour and the low speed being 3/4 mile per hour with engine funning at 14000 r.p.m. The bull-wheels are 18 inches in diameter and the extreme width over all, without the regular 36-inch miller, is 24 inches.
The miller is driven by a bevel pinion and crown wheel enclosed in an extension of the gear-box, and which forms part of the body, and these run in oil. The miller drive is independent of that of the bullwheels, permitting the rototiller to be moved. The latter revolves at 150 r.p.m. and carries twenty coil springs on whose extremities are fitted twenty coil semi-circular hooks of steel. These are the tools which attack the soil. The total weight of the machine is 650 pounds and its height is 37 inches.
One of the most satisfactory qualities of this cultivating device is its low speed. In order to do good work a garden tractor should not be geared so as to run as fast as three miles per hour - a speed at which the control of the tools is erratic, especially in rough or lumpy soil, therefore the low speed of the rototiller is an advantage.
Siemens used both 2-cycle and 4-cycle petrol engines. They made both 4-wheel tractors and 2-wheel walk behind rotary cultivators.
The Siemens K5 was the first "Boden Frasen" or Rototiller that C. W. Kelsey imported into the United States.
Top of Page
Around 1932 Siemens decided to sell off its cultivator division and focus on its electrical applications. You see their commercials on the television. Mr. Eberhard Bungartz of Munich, Germany a trailer manufacturer purchased the division in 1934 with all patents, parts, and machinery and went into production using the Bungartz name
By this time only the 2-wheel cultivators was still being made. In 1953 Bungartz started making 4-wheel diesel tractors the T-5 with a Hatz single cylinder diesel engine and T-6 with a 3-cylinder MWM diesel engine. These tractor featured 90-degree steering lock.
Universal Tractor Corporation of New York started importing Bungartz machinery in 1960. This appears to be the first time since 1939 that Bungartz's were imported into the United States. Universal Tractor sold a full line of Bungartz equipment, up to 40 implements and attachments were offered, some made by Universal Tractor.
Around 1964 Bungartz joined with Karl Peschke to form the Bungartz & Peschke company. They went out of business around 1974 due to poor business.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- After taking grief for "winning ugly" in their first two games, the Kansas City Chiefs went out and etched a beauty.
|Related links
Could this bunch be for real?
Dominating in every phase, the Chiefs got three touchdown passes from Matt Cassel and sacked Alex Smith five times Sunday en route to a 31-10 victory over the winless San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs are 3-0 for the first time since 2003.
In just three weeks, Todd Haley's Chiefs have come up with 30 percent of KC's combined victory total of the previous 36 months.
"It was a great day for the Chiefs," linebacker Derrick Johnson said. "Each win, we're getting more and more confident."
The offense of the 49ers (0-3), which rolled up 417 yards Monday night against New Orleans, managed only a field goal until the final play from scrimmage.
This game bore no resemblance to the sloppy opening night victory over San Diego or the win over Cleveland last week when the offense did not score a touchdown.
"I'm proud of the guys," said Haley, in his second season with the Chiefs. "They're just working hard every day to get a little better."
Cassel was 16 for 27 for 250 yards. He connected with Dexter McCluster on a 31-yard run-and-catch and fired a perfect 45-yard strike to a wide-open Dwayne Bowe off a fake end-around.
Rookie tight end Tony Moeaki put Kansas City on top 24-3 late in the third with a great falling down, one-handed catch of Cassel's 18-yard toss.
"It was exciting," the rookie tight end said. "Matt just threw a really great ball and put it in a great spot. I just tried to make the catch."
|CBSSports.com Grades
|San Francisco 49ers
|The 49ers struggled to get going against the Chiefs. QB Alex Smith was harassed into one INT and a healthy dose of throwaways and bad passes. RB Frank Gore never got on track. Big-time receivers Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree were not factors. Defensively, the Niners couldn't stop the Chiefs running game at all.
|Kansas City Chiefs
|KC dominated the line of scrimmage, pressuring QB Alex Smith all day and stopped the 49ers running game in its tracks. Offensively, they scored four TDs, something that does not happen much around the Chiefs. QB Matt Cassel threw for three TDs and both RBs Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles had big days running the ball. The Chiefs even won the special teams battle.

It's the second time in three games San Francisco has been dominated, which is sure to cause disquiet among fans who expected the 49ers to contend.
"It is stunning because we have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball, especially on offense," Pro Bowl tight end Vernon Davis said. "We have speed, we have guys that love to get after it. But like I said, we need an answer."
Coach Mike Singletary hinted at personnel changes.
"Right now, what we are going to do is get back and look at the film and hold off on making any changes until we look at the film and go from there," he said. "We will look at the film and see what is there and make decisions accordingly."
Jamaal Charles rushed for 97 yards for the Chiefs and Thomas Jones added 95, including a 3-yard scoring run that made it 31-3 with 3:27 left.
The 49ers wound up with 251 total yards, which included 53 yards on their final two plays. Linebacker Tamba Hali had three sacks as the rejuvenated defense under first-year coordinator Romeo Crennel harried Alex Smith all day and. Frank Gore rushed for just 43 yards on 15 carries and had 102 yards on nine catches.
"We were pretty ineffective the entire game," Smith said. "I don't know if there is anything to point to. I think it is everything. We were pretty inept all the way around, throwing the ball, running the ball, protecting, penalties, it was all in there."
Leading 10-3, the Chiefs in a wildcat formation snapped the ball to Jones. He handed the ball to McCluster, who appeared to be taking off on an end-around. But McCluster turned around and tossed the ball back to Cassel.
The quarterback then pulled up and lofted a perfect strike to Bowe, who was all by himself in the end zone as safety Dashon Goldson frantically tried to get back.
The 49ers were plagued by bad field position all game and started only two drives beyond their own 28. Smith was 23 for 42 for 232 yards. His 41-yarder to Gore on the next-to-last play from scrimmage set up a 12-yard TD strike to Josh Morgan as the final second ticked off the clock.
Brandon Flowers, whose interception return last week gave the Chiefs' their only touchdown in a victory at Cleveland, made several good plays. He jumped in front of a receiver and hauled in Smith's pass at the 49ers 31 in the second quarter and twisted his body around to knock down what probably would have been a touchdown pass in the third.
"We're finding different ways to win," Flowers said. "This time we got up and the offense just kept pounding it, pounding it."
On the first play after Flowers' interception, Cassel flipped a pass to McCluster in the flat and the rookie sped 31 yards into the end zone, breaking Travis LaBoy's tackle.
- The Chiefs paid homage to longtime broadcaster Bill Grigsby, who started with the team when it came to Kansas City in 1963 and called the first and fourth Super Bowls.
- It was Cassel's first three-TD game as a member of the Chiefs.
- The last team to start 3-0 after starting 0-3 the previous year was Buffalo in 2008.

We appreciate the insightful comments provided by Madden and colleagues. The simple goal of our study1 was to determine if long-outdated medications retained active pharmaceutical ingredients within range of their labeled quantities. We correlated this to the term potency because it is applied in one of the most long-respected texts concerning the science and practice of pharmacy2 as well as the US Pharmacopeial Convention (written communication; Technical Services Manager, Department of Standards Development, US Pharmacopeia; February 6, 2013). Our study was not designed to measure or compare drug delivery characteristics such as dissolution rate, degradation, bioequivalency, or efficacy, although neither our data nor the comments by Madden et al disprove that some or all of these measures remained intact. Thus, we did not conclude that it is safe or effective for individuals to consume expired medications. What we were comfortable in concluding was given that the active pharmaceutical ingredients for the medications tested were within an acceptable concentration for the majority tested, the concept of more longitudinal product testing by manufacturers or others may prove that many medications can remain safe and effective longer than current practices predict.

Bursting Rocks and Trembling EarthMarch 30th, 2009
While most of the Bay Area was rattled on Monday morning around 10:40 am by a magnitude 4.3 earthquake near Morgan Hill, another earthshaking event went almost unnoticed by the public - unless you were in Yosemite over the weekend. Early Saturday morning, a huge mass of rock came crashing down from Ahwiyah Point near Half Dome. Greg Stock, the Park Geologist at Yosemite, writes that the rocks "fell roughly 1800 feet to the floor of Tenaya Canyon, striking ledges along the way. Debris extended well out into Tenaya Canyon, knocking down hundreds of trees and burying the southern portion of the Mirror Lake loop trail... Fortunately, due to the event occurring in the early morning, there were no injuries."
But what happens when tons and tons of granite come crashing down unto the valley floor? Such an impact makes the ground vibrate and thereby creates seismic waves very similar to the ones being radiated by an earthquake. Indeed, on Saturday morning seismic stations all over Northern California and Nevada - as far away as 250 miles from Yosemite - registered these waves. The automatic earthquake location computer for Northern California at the offices of the USGS in Menlo Park picked up the recordings and calcuated an epicenter just half a mile to the northwest of Half Dome - which is actually pretty close to Ahwiyah Point. The program even computed a magnitude for the rock fall: Its impact had the same energy as a magnitude 2.4 earthquake.
While the seismic waves generated by a rock fall can be mistaken for the rumblings of an earthquake, the physics behind the two phenomena is completely different. Most earthquakes are the result of tectonic stress, which has accumulated in the rocks due to the movement of the lithospheric plates. A rock fall happens when the rock has been weakened by weathering. Water, which accumulates in cracks, freezes during the winter frosts. As ice occupies a larger volume as the same mass of liquid water, the freezing ice makes the rock expand and burst - similiar to a water bottle left in the freezer for too long. If such cycles of freezing and thawing are repeated often enough, the rock becomes loose and can break.
These rock bursts are by no means rare in granite world of Yosemite. Last October two rock falls hit some of the tents and cabins in Curry Village. In July 1996 more than 162,000 tons of rock cascaded down more than 2,000 feet, killing one visitor and crushing 500 trees. This blast was also recorded on many seismic stations, although it was somewhat smaller than Saturday's rock fall. After the 1996 event, BSL's Bob Uhrhammer analysed the seismic data carefully and reconstructed the details of the fall.
(Anxiously) Waiting for the Big OneMarch 25th, 2009
|Map showing many recent earthquakes near Bombay Beach, CA. (Courtesy of USGS)
Seismologists are - like many other scientists - a curious and a restless bunch. Pronounced patience is usually not one of their prime virtues. However, in their job of earthquake monitoring, they sometimes resemble Vladimir and Estragon, the lead characters in Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot." But instead of expecting a mysterious fellow named Godot who never shows up, seismologists know exactly what to expect: A major temblor will come someday and wreak havoc in earthquake prone areas like California, Japan, Greece, or the Hindu Kush. And many a time this "Waiting for the Big One" is no less demanding than the dialogue of Beckett's characters: We seismologists know that our Godot will come, but we don't know when.
However, with events starting last weekend, earthquake researchers in Southern California are on alert. Forty-two smaller earthquakes near the hamlet of Bombay Beach on the eastern shore of the Salton Sea preceded a magnitude 4.8 event, which rattled the area early Tuesday morning. This moderate earthquake was widely felt in the sparsely populated region at the southern end of our state. Several dozen aftershocks followed, the largest having a magnitude of 3.1.
Why did this earthquake series put our colleagues in the Southland on higher alert? The temblors occured exactly at the southernmost tip of the San Andreas Fault (see blog November 4, 2008). Looking north from there towards Los Angeles, this section of California's major earthquake fault has not ruptured for many decades. This means that a lot of tectonic energy is currently stored in this part of the fault. It contains so much stress, that its possible rupture was the scenario for the biggest earthquake drill ever held in our state. During "The Great Southern California Shake Out" last November, the scenario assumed that the San Andreas Fault would start rupturing near Bombay Beach and would not stop for 120 miles, all the while sending out its destructive waves (see blog November 10, 2008).
Although seismologists operating the Southern California Seismic Network in Pasadena monitor the most recent shocks and aftershocks very carefully, no one can predict what will happen. Are those recent earthquakes starting to loosen up this locked section of the San Andreas fault - and thereby leading to the expected megarupture? Or was it just a cough of the Earth's crust, which will blow away without consequence, like the many sandstorms in the deserts surrounding the Salton Sea? (hra034).
An Umbilical from the AbyssMarch 10th, 2009
Cannery Row, John Steinbeck, the Aquarium - they all seen synonymous with Monterey. Particularly the Monterey Bay Aquarium, with its dazzling and sometimes dizzying display of sea creatures, is an attraction for locals and tourists alike. The avid blog reader may ask, what does this advertising pitch for the aquarium have to do with seismology. The answer can be found in a sprawling laboratory building a few miles north of Cannery Row in Moss Landing. This is where a sister institution of the aquarium has its home, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). Without the work and support of their dedicated people, the seismic station MOBB (see two previous blog entries) probably would not exist.
Figure 1: A 3-D map of the Mars project (image courtesy of MBARI)
Founded in 1987, MBARI does much more than biological research in support of the aquarium. Several of their researchers are interested in marine geology, particularly in seismology. This led to a cooperation with BSL on placing seismometers on the ocean floor. The most recent result of the joint effort was the deployment of MOBB on the sea floor in April 2002 by the undersea robot "Ventana." This remotely operated vehicle is part of MBARI's research fleet. It is carried out to sea by its mothership, "R/V Point Lobos." From a control room in the bow of the ship, a pilot operates the Ventana using a joystick and computer controls.
In the years following the deployment, Ventana regularly returned to MOBB every few months, supplied it with new batteries and collected its data. The recordings were then shipped to BSL and - ex post facto - integrated into our data base.
But MBARI folks had much bigger plans for MOBB. They wanted it to become part of a large ensemble of scientific sensors on the seafloor. These sensors were to be permanently linked to land by a cable, which would provide power and a high speed data link. This idea led to MARS, not the planet, but the Monterey Accelerated Research System. Its heart is a node resting on the seafloor some 23 miles off the coast of Moss Landing. It was installed last November and allows eight different sensors to be connected to it - and hence their data to become available in real-time to researchers on land. The first instrument connected was a sonde which measures the salinity, temperature and pressure of the ocean water. MOBB was added late last month. For what is still to come on the slope of submarine Monterey Canyon, visit the MARS website.(hra033)
Technological MarvelsMarch 6th, 2009
|MOBB deployment with ROV (Courtesy of MBARI)
Seismometers have always been marvels of the latest technology of their era. Consider the instrument invented by the German geophysicist Emil Wiechert more than a hundred years ago: A 2000 pound mass rests on a needle point at the bottom of a pylon - held in place by nothing more than a few springs. With a clever system of mechanical levers, the movement of this big mass relative to the shaking Earth was scratched into soot paper - resulting in a seismogram. Modern seismometers have much smaller masses of only a few ounces. They use electronic circuitry to allow recordings of extremely small Earth movements of a few nanometers - a thousand times less than the diameter of a human hair. These instruments, however delicate, are made for use on land, operable only with careful set-up and adjustment procedures.
Now imagine trying to place such a sensitive, modern seismometer under thousands of feet of water at the bottom of the ocean. Not only must the instrument, an Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS), be absolutely water-proof for such depths. It also needs to be able to operate reliably for months at a time without any connection to the outside world. Even the set-up is a challenge: On land BSL's engineers and technicians go out of their way to ensure that the sensor is placed correctly and operates in a stable thermal environment. On the seafloor, an underwater robot guided by commands from a ship above has to do the job (see Fig. 1).
OBS tested in Byerly Vault (Photo by Horst Rademacher)
The OBS off the coast of Monterey, which we recently incorporated into our real-time network (see blog February 28, 2009), was built by Guralp Systems Ltd. in the UK. Its core is a very broadband feedback seismometer with three components, similar to ones used on land (see Fig. 2). But the OBS has many additional features: A stable internal clock provides the time signal, which on land we literally pull out of the air from the signals of those same GPS satellites that help you navigate around town. A motorized gimbaling system makes sure that the sensor is set-up horizontally and stays that way in the mud on the seafloor. On land, the leveling is done by humans, by tuning with finely threaded stands.
And then there is the issue of water resistance. Good diving watches can be taken down to 300 feet; below that, the O-rings are squeezed so tightly that they leak. Diving even deeper, the water pressure might crack the watch's housing. To protect the OBS against the forces of the watery depths, it is placed in a titanium housing, which is rated to withstand the pressure of a 18000 foot deep water column. (hra032)

Mungeam Forms New Course Design Company
Mark A. Mungeam, ASGCA, has announced the creation of Mungeam Cornish Golf Design Inc., a new course architecture firm formed in response to the recent dissolution of Cornish, Silva and Mungeam, Inc.
After nearly 20 years working together -most of that time overseeing their own projects independent of one another, architects Mark Mungeam and Brian Silva decided to create separate businesses that reflect their long-established work habits while enabling each to explore new challenges.
"It was great working with Brian. We influenced and learned a lot from each other, which really helped our design styles evolve and improve," said Mungeam, who noted that Mungeam Cornish Golf Design was officially formed in August 2006.
Mungeam Cornish sets out on its new course with a variety of projects. The firm's ongoing work includes the complete restoration of Woodway Country Club, a wonderful Willie Park Jr. design in Darien, Conn., and the finalization of a bunker renovation and practice facility expansion project at municipally-owned Cranberry Valley Golf Course on Cape Cod. The firm is preparing master plans for Robert Trent Jones-designed North Hills Country Club in Manhasset, N.Y., and the 27-hole Silvermine Golf Club in Norwalk, Conn., and will continue fine-tuning the top-100 Olympia Fields Country Club (North Course) in Chicago and the A.W. Tillinghast-designed Golden Valley Golf and Country Club in Minnesota.
This spring sees the 18-hole grand opening of Butter Brook Golf Club, a dynamic new design in Westford, Mass. The firm has also begun the design of The Falls at Black Creek, a new 18 in Forestburgh, N.Y., where the rustic course is sited among ledge outcrops, wooded slopes and a mountain stream.
Mungeam may be best known for his sensitive renovation of Olympia Fields in preparation for both the 1997 U.S. Senior Open and the 2003 U.S. Open. But the architect's original design work is equally admired. His early design of Shaker Hills Golf Club in Harvard, Mass., was selected the second Best New Public Course by Golf Digest in 1992. Other notable Mungeam designs include Cyprian Keyes Golf Club, Boylston, Mass., (another Golf Digest Best New Public Course selection); Owls Nest Golf Club, Campton, N.H.; Charleston Springs Golf Course (36-holes) in Monmouth County, N.J.; The Links at Hiawatha Landing near Binghamton, N.Y.; LeBaron Hills Country Club in Lakeville, Mass.; and the recently opened and acclaimed Golf Club at Oxford Greens in Oxford, Conn.
Mungeam also helped prepare The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs for the 1995 U.S. Women's Open. Other renovations include the restoration of Briarwood Country Club, a Colt and Allison design in Deerfield, Ill., and Farm Neck Golf Club on Martha's Vineyard.
Mungeam began working in golf course construction after receiving a Bachelors degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (Massachusetts). He joined Cornish and Silva in 1987, and became a partner/principal in 1995.
Mungeam will remain affiliated with Geoffrey S. Cornish, a renowned golf architect and historian. Now primarily retired from course design, Cornish began his career in 1935, when hired by Canadian architect Stanley Thompson to evaluate soils during the construction of Capilano Golf Club outside Vancouver, B.C. After serving in the Royal Canadian Army's famed Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment in Europe during World War II, Cornish settled in Amherst, Mass., where he taught at the University of Massachusetts and began a practice in golf course design.
With more than 230 original designs to his credit, Cornish planned more courses in New England than any architect in history. He continues to write and teach, having published numerous books, including the widely read "Bible" of course designers, "The Architects of Golf," which he co-authored with Ron Whitten, golf architecture editor at Golf Digest. Cornish is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Donald Ross Award from the ASGCA (1982), the Distinguished Service Award from the Golf Course Superintendents Association (1981), an honorary doctorate from the University of Massachusetts (1987) and induction in the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame (1995).
Mungeam and Cornish are assisted by Timothy Gerrish, RLA, who began working with Cornish more than 10 years ago while doing postgraduate studies in Landscape Architecture at the University of Massachusetts. Gerrish has played a key role in most new course and renovation projects through project coordination, attendance at permitting meetings and preparation of construction documents. Indeed, Gerrish was lead designer at Butter Brook GC.

Porsche Design Orfina chronograph
anyone else own one of these? I mentioned this watch, it was one of the original pieces in the birth of the Porsche Design world of high tech gadgetry.
here is a nice writeup from a recent eBay ad, these are getting kinda collectible, especially with the designers passing, r.i.p.
google Top Gun photos and see Tom Cruise sporting this model in the movie and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith was a fond owner of his as well.
Orfina Porsche Design chronograph black PVD coating and Lemania 5100 automatic winding movement. Orfina is a company steeped in history. They were founded in Grenchen, Switzerland in 1922 and from the outset have focused on building durable, practical and robust watches. To this end they achieved a great deal of success in producing, aviation, navigational and military wristwatches. They rose to world eminence when they were awarded the contract to build the Porsche Design watch. The original Porsche Design watches were designed by Ferdinand Porsche himself - the man who brought us the Porsche 911. He had the confidence in Orfinas ability to manufacture his designs, and they executed, as expected, like true masters of horological excellence. Many of the Porsche design watches were sold to the retail public, but were also very popular with aviators, navigators and military personnel. The Orfina Porsche Design "3H military" model was issued to the German military forces in the 1970s. This watch was manufactured by Orfina, to the design of the Porsche company. Orfina were the original company used by Porsche for their watch designs. This later went to IWC and is currently Eterna. This particular model is the original and cult classic 1970s Porsche design watch. The watch is a beautiful and masterful watch, with sweeping and curving lines, the dial is clean and minimalist in design bringing a pure functionality without un necessary clutter. The watch is striking and a pleasure to wear. Being of steel construction, it is durable, strong and solid and heavy in weight. Black PVD case is in very good condition. Matte black dial with superbly contrasting white hands and dial markings, Porsche design logo on dial, case back and PD logo on folding bracelet clasp. Day and date function the 3 position. Uncluttered and minimalist tachometer scale printed on the inner bezel. Comes with Porsche Design Case, warranty card and instruction leaflet. Dimensions are: width is 40 mm excluding crown, 43 mm including crown, 44 mm lug to lug and thickness is 14 mm.
I would like to buy one of these watches
I had one when new and have been looking for a replacement ever since it was stolen. If you know anyone in the US with one for sale Please PM me. I would also accept the stainless version by IWC with the day and date.
I have the earlier one with the Valjoux movement and Orfina instead of PD on the face.
My dad - who owned a '72 911S back then - got it as a christmas present from my mother in 1975 and I did inherit it.
As far as I know, there will be an exact replica named ' Porsche Design Heritage ' on the market shortly.
Best Regards from Germany
There is a wonderful and interesting connection between Orfina and Ferrari. Orfina was for a few years, owned and run by Umberto Maglioli, a Ferrari F1 driver in the 50's and Porsche winner in the Targa Florio and Carrera Panamericana.
I had the privilege of knowing Umberto before he passed away in the late 90's. He was also a brilliant engineer with a few watch design patents. He gave me a tour of the small factory in Grenchen sometime in the late 80's. A great guy who lived in Monza, a few yards away from the track.

I happen to own one that was given to me by my dad about 18 years ago and he still has another one as well. If I am not mistaken he purchased both in early/mid 70's. I switched the bracelet out with a leather strap as the original bracelet was too small for my wrist and my dad couldnt find any of the extra links. They both still work well but are in dire need of service and refurb. I take it the place in NY that was emntioned does good work?
Very jealous! Always wanted one.
Anyone have a spare crystal?
I just put one of these back in play- had a non- original crown and stem installed . Watch is in real nice shape except for a scratch on the crystal. Watch has not run in about 15-20 years according to my buddy who gave it to me.Gave it a few shakes and presto. Keeps great time.Does anyone have a spare crystal out there? Will give SW a call but have a feeling they will only part with it as part of a complete "service". That was the answer I received when I inquired about a crown. Happy to pay for a crystal if anyone has one.

The current surge of interest and support in the Make Poverty History movement is an incredibly visible signal to Western leaders and people all over the world. Development issues are no longer marginal politically or the sole concern of specialist groups. Live 8, events in Edinburgh surrounding the G8 (including the MPH march, attended by DiA, stories and pictures to come soon) and Brad Pitt clicking his fingers, all fill the news and engage the tabloids, dinner parties and political meetings in lively debate.
So, what can one person do? At this time that the development agenda is at the forefront, the opportunities are great for individuals to stick their heads out and make some sort of impact. But what if Edinburgh was too expensive, your charity band has snapped (for the third time) and Bob Geldof starts to irritate? Really the greatest way to make an impact, as Sinatra said, is to do it your way. The articles in this edition (Summer 2005) inspired me by their sheer creativity.
Ruth Bergan and Elinor Wakefield embarked on the incredible and perhaps slightly crazy mission of cycling from Birmingham to Bradford to raise money for DiA.
Meanwhile, Steve Roberts spent a week living in the woods, accompanied by only the bare essentials. Simultaneously raising awareness and money, and accumulating many adventures along the way, Steve really demonstrated no only what, but how much one person can do.
While volunteering in India with DiA, that same question continuously rang in my ears. What was I doing in a development organization in India? Would it make any difference to anything, or was I just kidding myself? I began to see that the really valuable product of my volunteering experience was everything I absorbed from such a seething, vibrant, moving country and the organization that I worked in, with each daily minute miracle they performed. This was something that I could use to fuel and inform a lifelong commitment to global issues. Mandarin Bennet examines the volunteering experience in the light of the 'gap year' culture. Her insights are central to what Development in Action is trying to achieve.
Tom Wilmot, who volunteered at the Barli Development Institute for Rural Women in Indore last autumn, writes of the man who helped to found the Institute, and his intriguing life's journey from Irish farms to rural India. Not geographical, social or linguistic barriers could keep Jimmy from making his convictions a reality. Elizabeth Horsefield returned to Sewa Mandir, the deaf and blind school where she had been a volunteer three years earlier. She captures that feeling when you leave a place, hardly believing that life continues and evolves without you. She leaves reaffirmed of the impact of the volunteer experience.
Whether volunteering overseas, or making an impact in a unique way in the UK, the answer to what one can do seems to be bright and varied. As an individual we all have a responsibility and we all have the opportunity, to be part of the global community, not just in theory, but through development in action.

Description Shrimpy Catalina Cat Bed
Not the Couch, not the Bed...The Catalina! A Cat Bed With Nine Lives.
Cats sleep as much as 16 hours a day, so give your cat a place to relax in style. The Catalina is made to last, using 420 denier nylon for its base and luxurious faux suede or soft fleece for its sleeping surface. We back that up with a 3-year limited warranty. Better yet, this cat bed is reversible, effectively doubling its life. You can keep it looking new, too, because the whole thing can be washed and dried without harming the recycled filling inside.
Washes Like New, Again and Again. Now, we all know that a cat will never make a mess on its own bed, but even the most fastidious cat's bed will need to be washed occasionally. When the Catalina has reached that point, you can just throw the whole thing in the washer and then the dryer.
Reversible. Just a nifty little design detail we want to mention, pop out the cushion, flip the bed inside out, pop the cushion back in (bottom side up), and voilà…lots more life to your cat bed!
Recyclable, Not Just Recycled. Your Big Shrimpy Catalina will last a long, long time. When it's time to part with it, don't throw it out! Send it in! Big Shrimpy will recycle the fabrics and SmartFill back into a reusable fiber through their Full Circle Recycling program.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- The Birmingham City Council today delayed a request to grant air rights related to building an overpass for a new railroad line through a southwestern neighborhood.
The council placed a six-week delay on CSX Transportation's request following a lengthy public hearing where most residents spoke against the proposal that would add a new bridge and one-and-a-half miles of new rail line.
The proposed work parallels existing tracks to 12st Street Southwest, then veers south toward Montevallo Road where it would be elevated.
Council members along with Mayor William Bell agreed more time was needed to discuss details of the project including its impact on nearby residents.
While some speakers spoke on behalf of the railroad, citing its contributions to community projects including youth sports and cooperation in landing the city's recent $10 million TIGER grant, that group was dwarfed by the number Mason City neighborhood resident opposing the project.
"All that they've done for the community is fine. Let's address the problems that it's going to create," said John W. Ford Sr. "I am concerned about the noise level and the vibration. This is an issue that I'm taking about that no one is mentioning, the destruction of the homes that are already there because of the vibration."
Ford said he had little faith that the railroad would honor its promise to control noise and vibrations
"All they want to do is get it in, and once they get it in they're out," he said.
Jane Covington, CSX's resident vice president of state relations, said the company is committed to working to address noise and vibrations. She said the company has secured an expert who would conduct a study on noise a vibration after the project was approved, then design ways to lessen it and meet federal standards.
Covington said the proposed project would likely eliminate some existing noise and the company would work to mitigate other noises.
Covington stressed that her company has been transparent about the process, meeting with neighborhood representatives since June.
"Immediately after that our real estate folks began meeting with directly affected homeowners," she said. "It's still very early in the process. Construction would not begin until the second quarter of next year."
Covington said the CSX believed until today that the company had agreements with several nearby property owners, but would continue talking with residents.
Still, the company's promise wasn't enough to satisfy those speaking against the project. Some said the mostly elderly community could not move and should not have the industrial project forced upon them as a quality of life disruption.
"When a train is coming through your community your home is shaking and rattling," said Sarah Humphrey. "We feel like we are being bamboozled. Why are we going to be punished by somebody putting another railroad track through our community?"
Councilwoman Carole Smitherman, who represents most of the affected area, asked for the delay, saying both residents and city leaders need more information about the major project.
"What I'm looking for is a resolve for the people who are individually impacted," Smitherman said. "CSX says they deserve the council's support. The question is have you earned the council's support?"
Smitherman said the council wasn't ready to vote because affected neighborhoods have not had the chance to vote on the project, as is the normal process. In addition, Smitherman said the city needed to understand the impact of the railroad's plan to run through a portion of Cooper Green Park, a green space set for renovations.
Bell said while federal regulations dictate much of the CSX's action, the city still has some authority regarding the air rights for the overpass. He agreed some issues should be addressed before approval in given, including the impact on Cooper Green Park.
"There are several questions that we need to answer as far as the park that I'm not comfortable with until my staff meets about this," he said.


text: Explore Hanoi and around Hoan Kiem District The Old Quarter The French Quarter Ba Dinh District West Lake Around Hanoi Share Examinations for admission to the Imperial bureaucracy were introduced by the Ly kings in the eleventh century as part of a range of reforms that served to underpin the nation's stability for several centuries. Vietnam's exams were based on the Chinese system, though included Buddhist and Taoist texts along with the Confucian classics. It took until the fifteenth century, however, for academic success, rather than noble birth or patronage, to become the primary means of entry to the civil service. By this time the system was open to all males, excluding "traitors, rebels, immoral people and actors", but in practice very few candidates outside the scholar-gentry class progressed beyond the lowest rung. First came regional exams, thi huong, after which successful students (who could be any age from 16 to 61) would head for Hanoi, equipped with their sleeping mat, ink-stone and writing brush, to take part in the second-level thi hoi. These national exams might last up to six weeks and were as much an evaluation of poetic style and knowledge of the classic texts as they were of administrative ability; it was even felt necessary to ban the sale of strong liquor to candidates in the 1870s. Those who passed all stages were granted a doctorate, tien si, and were eligible for the third and final test, the thi dinh, or palace exam, set by the king himself. Some years as few as three tien si would be awarded whereas the total number of candidates could be as high as six thousand, and during nearly three hundred exams held between 1076 and 1779, only 2313 tien si were recorded. Afterwards the king would give his new mandarins a cap, gown, parasol and a horse on which to return to their home village in triumphal procession. Read More

SUMMER GUIDE 2012 / ABQ JOURNAL Santa Fe
May 2012
Allure of the Roadside by Donna Olmstead
"...El Rey Inn on Cerrillos Road does it so well that The New York Times recommended it as "retro-chic" for a weekend getaway, and Sunset Magazine says the 1930s-era motel gives the traveler a Santa Fe experience at a bargain price."
by Donna Tabbert Long on March 16, 2015
"...We drove to our room, parking in front of the brightly painted turquoise door—exactly like the kind of motor courts my parents used to stay at when we did road trips back in the day. I still love the convenience of such places: no wandering down long corridors, or having to put on shoes to make a trip to the vehicle when you forgot something...."
ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL / BY THE NUMBERS April 20, 2015
(shown cropped above...in full on El Rey Inn's Facebook page 4/20/15)
LONELY PLANET 2013 November 2012
"A highly recommended classic courtyard hotel, with super rooms, a great pool and hot tub, and even a kids' playground scattered around 5 acres of greenery. The inn recycles and takes a lot of green-friendly steps to conserve resources. Most rooms have air conditioning."
MOON HANDBOOKS / Santa Fe, Taos & Albuquerque May 2012
"EL REY INN, about two miles from the plaza, counts as one of the best hotels in Santa Fe based on charm alone..."
THE DENVER POST Jan. 15, 2012
Getting There: Santa Fe, NM "EL REY INN...What's really cool here is the Spanish Colonial exterior, with its lush landscaping."
ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL Santa Fe November 2011
"Sprawled across 5 acres off Cerrillos Road near the intersection with St. Michael's Drive, El Rey is known for its lavish gardens and grounds, its superb free breakfasts, its winding roads and secluded room complexes, its intensively Southwestern decor and its immaculate cleanliness."
DisneyFamily.com August 2011
"An old-style Route 66 hotel a few miles from downtown, the El Rey is exceedingly popular with families for the lush gardens, great pool, cool patios, playground, and relaxed, old-time motor-court atmosphere. Rooms are individually decorated with quaint and colorful style, this is the place that will have your kids asking, 'Where was that cool motel we stayed at?' for years to come."
SUNSET MAGAZINE May 2011
The West's Best Hotel Deals: 50 hotels under $150 -- Southwest
"...we're proud to include your business (El Rey Inn) in the latest issue of Sunset. Your hard work and creativity deserve to be recognized by people all over the West."
36 Hours in Santa Fe
"EL REY INN...with nicely furnished rooms and beautifully landscaped grounds to go along with the kitschy Native American- themed architecture."
TRAVEL + LEISURE City Guides: Santa Fe
"What began as a humble 12-room motor court in 1936 (back when Route 66 ran past it) has grown into a decidedly offbeat five-acre compound comprising 86 rooms in every imaginable configuration and style. Funky but immaculate rooms are set around the property in small clusters, shrouded by cottonwood trees and fragrant gardens and with access to both a heated pool (open spring to fall) and two cloistered, sunken hot tubs (open year-round)."
Images of America: SANTA FE'S HISTORIC HOTELS
"El Rey Inn is a classic 1936 Route 66 motor court, as motels were termed at the time. The original 12 rooms, with individual carports, were built of adobe on what was then the outskirts of Santa Fe, although only three miles from the plaza. ...El Rey retains its original character but now has extensive gardens, secluded rooms away from the highway, free breakfasts, Southwestern decor (it is adobe after all), beautiful Mexican tile work, and immaculate cleanliness."

1970 Tommie Aaron Atlanta Braves Game-Used Home Jersey - Signed by Hank Aaron
Starting Bid - $500.00 , Sold For - $940.00
Atlanta Braves home jersey worn by Tommie Aaron, younger brother of Hank Aaron, in 1970, his penultimate season with the Braves. Graded 9.5 by MEARS. The white pinstripe flannel jersey is lettered "Braves" across the front and features the number "18" on the reverse. All letters and numerals are appliquéd in navy tackle twill. An Atlanta Braves "Screaming Indian" patch appears on the left sleeve. Aaron's name, the year, and the set number ("T Aaron 1970 Set 1") are chain-stitched in black upon a white strip tag in the collar. A "Wilson 42" label is located on the left front tail. Hank Aaron has signed the jersey in black marker (grading "8/9") on the right breast. The original "Screaming Indian" patch on the left sleeve was removed and subsequently replaced with another authentic patch. Aside from that minor alteration, the jersey is completely original and displays moderate wear, including some light soiling. Tommie Aaron was the younger brother of Hank Aaron and the two played together with the Braves, intermittently, for a total of seven seasons (between the years 1962 through 1971). Tommie, whose ability was obviously not on par with that of his brother, only played regularly during his 1962 rookie season. In 1970 he appeared in 44 games and finished the season with 2 home runs, 7 RBI and a .206 batting average. Today, Tommie is best remembered as being the second half of an answer to a famous baseball trivia question: What two brothers combined to hit the most home runs in baseball history? The answer: Hank and Tommie Aaron (Hank hit 755, Tommie 13). After retiring in 1971, Tommie remained with the Braves organization, both as a minor league manager and Major League coach, but he died of leukemia in 1984 at the age of forty-five. Graded A9.5 by MEARS (10 point base grade, with a half point deducted for the removal of the original team patch). This is the only Tommie Aaron jersey listed in the MEARS population report. This jersey has been consigned to this auction directly from the personal collection/inventory of world-renowned bat and jersey authenticators David Bushing and/or Troy Kinunen. LOAs from Dave Bushing & Troy Kinunen/MEARS and James Spence/JSA. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$1,500. SOLD FOR $940.00

Date: 11/12/2001
Community Hospital opens $15 million Outpatient Centre
Following the growth and expansion of southern Lake County, Ind., Community Hospital will open a new $15 million Outpatient Centre on Monday, November 19, 2001 to increase access area residents have to physicians and medical services.
The public is invited to take its first look at the Community Hospital Outpatient Centre in St. John during an Open House and Health Fair to be held from 1-4 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 18. The 69,000 square-foot Outpatient Centre on U.S. 41 immediately south of 97th Lane will offer nearly every outpatient and urgent care medical service a family may need - all at one location and all without a hospital stay.
During the public Open House, many of the Centre's physicians will be presenting lectures on a variety of health topics: Mark Feldner, M.D., "High Blood Pressure – What You Don't Know Can Hurt You; Pedro Bukata, M.D. "Women – Your Body and Your Health"; Alonzo Morrissey, M.D., "Improving Child Safety"; Ken Reed, D.O., "Let's Talk Diabetes"; Mark Greenberg, M.D., "Caring for Your New Baby". In addition to the lectures, a limited number of free cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure screenings will be offered during the Open House, as well as appointments provided for a limited number of free heel bone density screenings and $55 mammography exams.
The Outpatient Centre will serve as a satellite facility of Community Hospital's main campus located ten miles north in Munster, Ind. This new facility will enable the hospital to better service the growing communities in southern Lake County. The Centre will also create about 75 new jobs for the community in this initial development.
Page 2
Specialists in family practice, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics will provide urgent care, full lab and X-ray services, and testing using state-of-the-art diagnostic technology, such as MRI, CT and ultrasound. As the services of the Outpatient Centre are fully developed, specialists in cardiology, general surgery, urology, dermatology and neurology will further broaden the scope of medical services available to the local community, said Edward P. Robinson, Administrator of Community Hospital, a Community Healthcare System member.
"The construction of the new Outpatient Centre is reflective of the evolution that's taken place in healthcare over the past 30 years," Robinson said. "We can provide a higher level of care in the outpatient setting as medical advances enable us to detect, treat and rehabilitate many more illnesses and diseases without the cost and the disruptions of hospitalization."
The core physicians who will treat patients in St. John will be Medical Affiliates from the Community Care Centers operated by the hospital: Pedro Bukata, M.D., Obstetrics and Gynecology; Mark Feldner, M.D., Family Practice; Mark Greenberg, M.D., Pediatrics; Manuel Luna, M.D., Obstetrics and Gynecology; Cherian Mathews, M.D., Family Practice, General Surgery; Alonzo Morrissey, M.D., Family Practice; Ken Reed, D.O., Family Practice; and Leslie Stork, M.D., Family Practice.
In addition to the primary health services, the Outpatient Centre will feature a Women's Diagnostic Center offering mammography, bone density scanning and other services, modeled after the home-like atmosphere of the hospital's main campus in Munster. Meeting rooms are also incorporated in the new building for hosting a variety of health education and community programs.
An Urgent Care Center equipped with 11 exam rooms, lab and X-ray capabilities will offer extended hours during weekday evenings, weekends and holidays to provide treatment for non-emergency illnesses and injuries. Urgent Care will be staffed by Community Care Center physicians, who are part of a physician network developed to extend access to the high-quality medical services of Community Hospital, said John Gorski, Senior Vice President of Operations for Community Healthcare System.
"The Outpatient Centre in St. John is an extension of the high quality services of Community Hospital – from the care provided by physicians to the excellence in diagnostic technology," Gorski said.
"This is also an important link through which we can make our services as a health system more easily accessible to this growing community, " he added. Community Healthcare System is the leading medical provider in Northwest Indiana, operating several outpatient clinics, physicians offices and three non-profit hospitals: Community Hospital in Munster; St. Catherine Hospital in East Chicago; and St. Mary Medical Center in Hobart.
Page 3
In addition to the Open House planned for Sunday, a dedication ceremony will be held Wednesday, Nov. 14 for town officials and area business and civic representatives. The event will be catered by Schererville's own B.J. Comfort's Hoosier Café.
The Outpatient Centre in St. John was built by Marshall Erdman & Associates, a full-service design and construction firm specializing in outpatient healthcare facilities. Founded in 1951, the company headquartered in Madison, Wis. has built more than 2,500 medical buildings nationwide. The construction of this facility provided for more than 250 construction jobs.

Torrential rains, flooding, and mudslides in Brazil have killed 45 people and have left more than 150,000 homeless.
Relief efforts are underway, but getting food, water, and medicine into the hardest hit areas has been difficult.
As rains subsided, government relief workers delivered the first of more than $56 million in immediate relief promised to regions affected the most.
"It destroyed our city," one resident in the town of Alagoas said. "It destroyed everything."
People sifted through muddy debris searching for valuable possessions. Local resident Maria Severina da Silva lost her son in a mudslide
"He helped some other boys and then helped me and I have not seen him again," she said. "He was just dragged down by the river."
A month's worth of rain fell in just two days in Alagoas and the neighboring state of Pernambuco. Mounds of mud and debris that washed out bridges are hampering rescue and relief efforts.
Earlier this week, civil defense officials said more than 600 people were still missing in Alagoas. Rescuers are continuing the search for possible survivors, but they fear more bodies will be discovered.
