Glendale-based Nestle USA is closing its Chatsworth Hot Pockets plant and moving the work to its operation in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, investing $13 million in expanding the facility and hiring 150 workers, it was reported today.
Production at the Chatsworth facility, which began turning out the snacks in 1988, will end around October. The 360 workers at the facility were given notice last Friday, Nestle spokeswoman Roz O'Hearn said in remarks reported by the Daily News, adding that the fate of the workers and the Nestle-owned 184,000-square-foot production facility is unknown..
The employees can move into other positions in the area or relocate to Mount Sterling, which is converting to a 24-hour work schedule. Those who cannot find other jobs with the company will be given severance and job placement assistance, she said.
The Mount Sterling plant opened in 1966 and doubled in size in 1993. Nestle USA bought the Hot Pockets brand in 2002.
Economist William W. Roberts, director of the San Fernando Valley Economic Research Center at Cal State Northridge, told the Daily News that it will not be easy to repurpose the facility or replace the jobs.
``There is still a lot of empty space throughout the Valley so it's not like there is a lack of places to buy and build something. I've seen places lie vacant for five or six years,'' he said.

Some of the questions you may have about Animas pumps or the OneTouch® Ping™ glucose management system have already been asked. Read on to see if yours appears below.
What advantages does the OneTouch Ping glucose management system have versus other systems available today?
In addition to the industry-leading technology you've come to expect from Animas® insulin pumps (i.e., high
contrast color screen; lowest basal increment for fine-tuned control, waterproof durability, Calorie King® food database),
OneTouch Ping gives you the option to use the meter-remote or the pump for many glucose management functions like
calculating and delivering a bolus. In essence, both pump and meter-remote are "smart", fully functional devices. OneTouch
Ping is the first and only system to integrate a full function insulin pump with a blood glucose meter that is also a
remote control for the pump.
I heard there is a OneTouch® meter that works with the Medtronic pump. How does that product differ from the OneTouch Ping?
The OneTouch Ping glucose management system offers unique functionality unlike any other diabetes management product available on the market today.In addition to testing blood glucose, OneTouch Ping is also the only blood glucose management system available that offers full functionality from the pump and from the meter. The meter-remote not only allows you to test your blood sugar, it also gives you the option to calculate a bolus and even instruct the pump to deliver it, so you don't even have to pull out your pump to give yourself your insulin dose. Also, the OneTouch Ping meter-remote has both a backlight and a button that enables you to navigate back to a previous screen ("back" button).
Can I use more than one meter-remote at a time with OneTouch Ping?
No. When you get started, you'll pair your OneTouch Ping meter-remote with your OneTouch Ping pump. Once paired, that is the only meter-remote that will be able to connect (via radio frequency)
with your pump. If you want to use a different OneTouch Ping meter-remote, you'll have to unpair your existing meter-remote
and then pair a new meter-remote to your pump. We have designed the system this way for safety reasons. This only applies
when you use a OneTouch Ping meter-remote to control your pump. You can use a different blood glucose meter to test your
blood glucose at any time and manually enter that information into the pump.
We have multiple pumpers in our house. Can we all use a different OneTouch Ping without interference?
Absolutely. One of the first steps in setting up your OneTouch Ping glucose management system is to pair your meter-remote to your pump. Once
you have paired your meter-remote with your specific pump, they can only "ping" each other information.
What if I purchase the OneTouch Ping glucose management system but prefer not to use the meter-remote?
OneTouch Ping was designed to be flexible, so the pump is fully functional without the meter-remote. You can manually input
your blood glucose value from any meter of your choosing into the pump for bolus calculations. However, if you choose not
to use the OneTouch Ping meter-remote, you won't be able to bolus remotely and won't be able to access the Calorie
King® food database, which resides in the meter-remote.
What if I forget my meter-remote?
If you forget your meter-remote, you will still be able to control the pump manually. If you have another meter available,
you can manually enter your blood glucose values and still use the bolus calculator on the pump.
What if I lose my meter-remote? Will I ever be able to connect another OneTouch Ping meter-remote to my OneTouch Ping
Yes. If you lose your OneTouch Ping meter-remote, you may purchase another. You will be able to "pair" the new meter-remote
with your existing pump. We would be more than happy to walk you through the process. Please call 1-877-937-7867 for
Can I purchase a second meter-remote to have as a spare?
Yes. Your OneTouch Ping glucose management system comes with one meter-remote, but you have the option of purchasing a spare at $199.00. It is
important to note however, that your pump will only work with one meter-remote at a time. When you change to another
meter-remote, you will have to unpair the previous meter-remote from your system. Then you will have to pair your spare
meter-remote to your OneTouch Ping pump. We would be more than happy to walk you through the process.
Is there software for use with my new OneTouch Ping?
Yes. We will be shipping your OneTouch Ping glucose management system with our newest ezManager® Max software. The software is
compatible with the OneTouch Ping system, as well as both Mac and PC computers, including the Vista operating system.The OneTouch Ping will also be compatible for downloading into OneTouch® Diabetes Management Software (OTDMS).
Who do I call for supplies and customer support?
OneTouch Ping pumpers should call Animas for supplies and support. You can still count on us for the 24/7 service we're
known for. We're just a phone call away at 1-877-YES-PUMP (1-877-937-7867).
Will my pump accessories for the Animas® 2020 fit the new OneTouch Ping Glucose Management System?
All pump accessories for the Animas® 2020 pump can be used with the OneTouch Ping insulin pump, except for the leather case. A new leather case has been updated for the OneTouch Ping insulin pump and will be available shortly. Please call Animas at 1-877-937-7867 to get more information.
Is the Animas® 2020 pump still available?
Yes it is; however, you should be aware that the OneTouch Ping Glucose Management System has all the benefits of the
Animas 2020 with the addition of a meter-remote which will allow you to control pump functions without touching your
What type of battery can be used in my pump?*
Your pump is designed to achieve optimum performance and battery life with an AA lithium battery (1.5V). Rechargeable
batteries and carbon-zinc batteries do not have the necessary characteristics to power the pump and should not be used.
Some AA lithium batteries are available with other voltages such as 3.6V or 4.0V. Do not use these batteries. Use of
anything other than a 1.5V battery could permanently damage the pump and voids its warranty.
How often does the battery cap need to be changed?*
It is recommended that you change the battery cap/vent twice a year. If you work in a dusty environment such as a construction site, mill, cement factory, etc., or if you are a frequent swimmer, you should change your battery cap every 3 months. Battery caps can be ordered by visiting our eStore at https://estore.animascorp.com .
I just replaced the battery in my pump for the first time, and now it shows 0 U on the screen but I know I have insulin in
my cartridge. Why?
Whenever the battery is removed and reinserted, the volume of remaining insulin on the wake up screen will read zero. A
full rewind, load, and prime will need to be completed to resume insulin delivery after a battery change.
Can I go through the metal detector at the airport with my pump?
Yes, the walk-through and the wand are OK. However, the pump cannot be exposed to X-rays. For more information about
traveling with the pump, go to our articles section.
Can I swim with my pump**?
Yes, the pump is waterproof in up to 12 feet of water for up to 24 hours. Before swimming, it is always recommended to do
a visual inspection of the pump and battery cap. Deep scratches, cracks, a loose keypad, and/or seeing the O-ring on the
battery cap could indicate that your pump is no longer waterproof. If you see any damage or have a concern, do not expose
the pump to water. Call Pump Support immediately. Make sure the battery cap is seated properly and that the battery cap
has been changed as instructed by the user guide.
**The OneTouch® Ping™ meter-remote must not be exposed to water.
What precautions do I need to follow at an amusement park ride with my pump?
Very powerful electromagnets are sometimes used on "free-fall" amusement park rides. Insulin pumps should be removed and
not taken on these "free-fall" types of rides.
High gravity forces can be experienced when riding on some roller coasters. It is recommended that you disconnect (NOT
suspend) the pump while on roller-coaster rides.
My pump was lost/stolen. What do I do to get another pump?
A lost or stolen pump is not covered under the Animas technical warranty. Please contact your homeowner's insurance
company to see if they will cover the cost of a replacement pump. Some insurance companies will allow you to put a
rider on the pump.
The word "Locked" is on my pump screen. What does this mean?
The Animas pump has a tamper-resistant feature allowing you to lock the pump to prevent accidental button pressing. The
pump will continue to deliver the basal rates if this feature is activated. To lock the pump, simply wake up the pump and
press and hold the Up and Down arrow buttons at the same time until the screen reads "Locked". To unlock the pump, wake up
the pump so the screen reads "Locked" and then press and hold the Up and Down buttons at the same time until the screen
display wakes up. It is highly recommended that young children and those wearing the pump in their pocket use this
I am having problems with bubbles in my cartridge. How can I keep so many bubbles from forming?
Bubbles can form in the cartridge for a number of reasons. These include drawing the insulin into the cartridge too fast,
not having the cartridge needle tightly secured when drawing insulin from the vial, and not having the insulin at room
temperature. To help avoid bubbles, check to make sure the needle is tightly secured to the cartridge before drawing the
insulin, draw the insulin slowly from the vial into the cartridge, and be sure to use insulin that is at room temperature.
Also, when removing the blue plunger handle take special care not to pull on the plunger itself as this will draw air into
the cartridge.
How can I keep my infusion sets attached during hot weather or exercise?
Using skin prep such as I.V. Prep Antiseptic Wipe or Skin-Tac™ will help keep your infusion sets attached
during hot weather or exercise. The infusion set can also be reinforced with the use of a transparent dressing such as
IV3000™ Dressing. If perspiration is a problem, you can also try using an antiperspirant (not a deodorant)
under the infusion set adhesive. It is important to always check your infusion site following exercise or perspiration. It
is important to contact your healthcare provider to determine what may work best for you or if you have allergies or skin

If you agree, get involved
In light of the recent water leak in downtown Seattle, how can the unnecessary installation of a 227-mile pipeline between Woodinville and Pasco Washington even be a consideration?
One of the biggest causes of oil spills is from underground pipelines.
Do we really want this pipeline in our backyard threatening our aquifers, rivers, streams, flora and fauna and posing a hazard to all the communities it traverses?
Two existing petroleum pipelines already serve eastern Washington, and a cross-Cascade petroleum pipeline is neither needed or wanted.
If you feel the same way, get involved and call Cascade Columbia Alliance at (206) 728-1289 or www.pipelineleaks.com

Based on comments posted on FIBA.com, San Antonio Spurs PG Tony Parker is less than optimistic about the future of the franchise, at least in its roster's current state. With Tim Duncan (35) and Manu Ginobili (33), two of the team's most important players during its championship years, getting up in age, Parker implied the window of opportunity may have closed.
"At the start of the season I said this was our last chance," Parker said.
"Tim and Gino (Ginobili) are getting old. It's going to be tough to regenerate ourselves.
"We will always have a good team but we can no longer say that we're playing for a championship."
Spurs GM R.C. Buford, asked to respond to Parker's comment, said from the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, "Who knows what the motivation is to say something like that. I'm not going to get caught up in comments. All I can say is that we're going to continue to build our team and try to be as good as we can be in the future."

Parthenocissus quinquefolia
|Virginia creeper
|Scientific classification
|P. quinquefolia
|Binomial name
|Parthenocissus quinquefolia
(L.) Planch.
Ampelopsis hederacea Ehrh.[1]
Parthenocissus quinquefolia, known as Virginia creeper, Victoria creeper, five-leaved ivy, or five-finger, is a species of flowering plant in the grape family, Vitaceae. It is native to eastern and central North America, from southeastern Canada and the eastern United States west to Manitoba and Utah, and south to eastern Mexico and Guatemala.
The name "Virginia creeper", referring to one of its native locations, is also used for the whole genus Parthenocissus, and for other species within the genus. The name Parthenocissus is from the Greek literally meaning "virgin ivy", and may derive from the common English name of this species.[2] It is not closely related to the true ivy, Hedera. The specific epithet quinquefolia means "five-leaved", referring to the leaflets on each compound (palmate) leaf.[3]
This plant is also known in North America as woodbine,[4] although woodbine can refer to other plant species.
P. quinquefolia is a prolific deciduous climber, reaching heights of 20–30 m (66–98 ft) in the wild. It climbs smooth surfaces using small forked tendrils tipped with small strongly adhesive pads 5 mm (0.20 in) in size.
The leaves are palmately compound, composed of five leaflets (rarely three leaflets, particularly on younger vines) joined from a central point on the leafstalk, and range from 3 to 20 cm (1.2 to 7.9 in) (rarely to 30 cm [12 in]) across. The leaflets have a toothed margin. The species is often confused with P. vitacea or "False Virginia creeper", which has the same leaves, but does not have the adhesive pads at the end of its tendrils.
It is sometimes mistaken for Toxicodendron radicans (poison ivy), despite having five leaflets (poison ivy has three).[5]
The leaves sometimes turn bright red in the fall.
Flowers and berries[edit]
The flowers are small and greenish, produced in inconspicuous clusters in late spring, and mature in late summer or early fall into small hard purplish-black berries 5 to 7 mm (0.20 to 0.28 in) diameter. These berries contain oxalic acid, which is moderately toxic to humans and other mammals. The berries provide an important winter food source for birds.
Cultivation and uses[edit]
P. quinquefolia is grown as an ornamental plant, because of its ability to rapidly cover walls and buildings, and its deep red to burgundy fall (autumn) foliage.[6]
It is frequently seen covering telephone poles or trees. It may kill vegetation it covers by shading its support and thus limiting the supporting plants' ability to photosynthesize.
P. quinquefolia can be used as a shading vine for buildings on masonry walls. Because the vine, like its relative P. tricuspidata (Boston ivy), adheres to the surface by disks rather than penetrating roots, it does not harm the masonry but will keep a building cooler by shading the wall surface during the summer. As with ivy, trying to rip the plant from the wall will damage the surface; but if the plant is first killed, such as by severing the vine from the root, the adhesive pads will eventually deteriorate and release their grip.
Native Americans used the plant as an herbal remedy for diarrhea, difficult urination, swelling, and lockjaw.[citation needed]
The sap of the plant contains raphides (needle-shaped crystals of calcium oxalate) which puncture skin causing irritation and blisters in sensitive people.[7]

On Aug. 17, Brandon Triche embarked on a new basketball adventure. The Jamesville-DeWitt and Syracuse University graduate signed a contract to continue his basketball career for Aquila, a professional basketball team in Trento, Italy.
Triche, who has never lived away from home, will provide occasional updates this season on his life in Italy, all the while making us salivate for the delicious pasta and pizza he's consuming over there.
His Italian, by the way, is a work in progress.
I've been here about a month now and pretty much I've spent most of my time practicing with the team.
Right now, we're having scrimmages before our first game, which is Oct. 6. We have practice in the morning, which is usually lifting weights, and in the evening as well. It's 10-12 and then 7-9, so a lot of times after practice, we'll eat and it's late, so I'll just go to bed.
On the court, it really hasn't been that hard to understand the coach. He just gets across what he wants to get across. He speaks mostly Italian to the team, but if he really wants to get a specific point across, he makes sure he speaks some English. Our assistant coach speaks good English, so he'll talk to me to explain things a little bit more.
As far as basketball, they have stricter rules as far as traveling goes, so you gotta make sure you get your dribble down before you take a step. I'm playing a mixture of point guard and shooting guard.
I have an apartment here. It's pretty nice. Equipped with everything you'd need. And it's two bedrooms, so when my dad and my mom come to visit, they'll be comfortable.
Eating-wise, I'm just trying to get adjusted to everything. It's been a little bit of a struggle, partly because everything is in Italian. I've been grocery shopping — there's a store right down the street from my apartment. They eat some different types of food here.
For instance: I really like peanut butter. And they don't have peanut butter here.
For instance: I thought Italian dressing back in the States was "Italian" dressing. Here, that kind of dressing doesn't exist. It's oil and balsamic vinegar.
A lot of time, the team will eat together on the way home from practice. And they bring us to eat Italian food that's authentic. Of course, I like pizza and pasta, but I'm trying not to eat it every day. They do have chicken and other different meats. But it's hard to get away from the pizza. It's pretty good.
I'm just making the best of the situation. My living situation is very comfortable. And my teammates are making it easier for me. The city is a lot like Syracuse. There is not a lot going on as far as night life. It's not very busy here at all.
I am really homesick. It's the first time I've ever lived away from home. It's just something I have to deal with so I try not to complain about it.
You can watch this interview with Triche and teammate Marco Spanghero, but be warned: the first three minutes or so are devoted to Spanghero and the interview is conducted in Italian until Triche's segment begins. (Then, it's subtitled in Italian.) Triche is asked, among other things, whether he has a girlfriend and whether he likes Italian women.

A geological feature known as the Wasatch Fault spans from Southern Idaho to Central Utah. Roughly 80 percent of Utah's population lives along the fault, often in unreinforced masonry homes such as brick.
The one-hour documentary includes interviews with the victims of the Christchurch, New Zealand earthquakes, Hurricane Sandy and the Herriman, Utah wildfires. From their stories, along with advice from emergency experts, viewers learn practical tips for starting their own personal emergency plans.
Taking an all-hazards approach to emergency preparedness, Preparing for Disaster demonstrates how to create emergency communication plans, and walks viewers through the process of building a 72-hour kit. The program also highlights community efforts to organize and prepare, including a look at the earthquake plan at Salt Lake City's Madeleine Choir School.
Information reposted from 72hours.org
After a major disaster the usual services we take for granted, such as running water, refrigeration, and telephones, may be unavailable. Experts recommend that you should be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least three days. Store your household disaster kit in an easily accessible location. Put contents in a large, watertight container (e.g. a large plastic garbage can with a lid and wheels) that you can move easily.

Had one on a glock 23, it was my first attempt at concealed carrying. I also had one on a p3at, neither were practical. I never liked the idea of an exposed trigger with one in the chamber. I can't imagine I would like one on a 1911 any better.
October 3, 2012, 11:33 PM
It's just an attempt to make Mexican carry a legitimate option. Not enclosing the trigger is a recipe for disaster.
October 4, 2012, 10:14 AM
"Clips" are for kids.
October 4, 2012, 12:42 PM
Just interested in your reaction positive or negative to the above product.
I don't care much for "clip" holsters like this or grip clips for revolvers. I want the trigger covered when the gun is "holstered". I find most actual holsters more comfortable for extended wear. Plus clips don't hold the gun in a consistent orientation for quick, repleatable draws.
October 5, 2012, 09:49 PM
Good advice. Thanks guys.
October 5, 2012, 11:16 PM
Looked good so I tried one for six mos. It's now in the back of the safe for the last four years. I CC IWB or IP, and the Clip did not work well for me either way.
October 6, 2012, 04:34 AM
I don't think it is worth it. I am working on a holster design that till add less thickness to the profile of the gun than the clip draw, but will still be attached firmly to the belt and fully cover the trigger guard. It will also allow for one handed reholstering.

I used one on my P-64 (RIP, was traded away for some mechanic work) and it was a perfect match. I carried safety on at 3 o'clock. It was comfortable, stayed in place and concealed almost as good as my LCP worn in a IWB holster.
Using something like a ClipDraw with a gun like a Glock, where there isn't a switch somewhere as a traditional safety, isn't a good idea. Using one with a large framed gun isn't gonna be fun either. I like the product, but it excels in little guns (with a safety) and deep concealment.
I thought I should mention that the customer service I received from ClipDraw was exceptional, I'll be buying another when I replace the P-64.

I tried one many years ago on a full sized 1911. I don't recall who manufactured it but I do remember it balanced poorly with a loaded mag but perfectly with no mag or an empty. kinda useless in that case since I'd have to wear it in something super tight and it would still displace with not much physical activity at all.
I ended up giving it (trade?) to a friend for a bedside plant. He loved it for that.
In any case - I'd say test drive one with a loaded firearm before buying if possible.
October 7, 2012, 11:41 PM
Not only is it not safe, but it doesn't support the weight of a 1911, and allows it to wiggle around.
October 10, 2012, 06:46 PM
doesn't spread weight
doesn't protect trigger
doesn't keep safety lever in "more safe" position
doesn't keep sweat off of gun
doesn't keep gun at correct angle
how about no on this concept, it doesn't do ANY of the things I need a holster to do
October 13, 2012, 11:53 AM
If you're going to rely on a "clip" to secure your gun you may as well just stick it in your waistband like Plaxico did. It worked pretty good for a while.
October 14, 2012, 08:57 PM
+1 what everyone else said..
That said, last I checked in Ohio the CHL law is written that a pistol has to be carried in a holster, which ruled out carrying anything legally with a clip draw. Until the most recent changes regarding keeping a loaded pistol in your car, it even had to be in a holster when locked in a glove compartment.
October 14, 2012, 09:17 PM
works great on a PF9. :neener:
October 14, 2012, 09:22 PM
As much as I like the Birami Hip-Grip on 2" belly guns, the utility value of such a carry option on short stroke SA only autos would be low.
October 15, 2012, 01:43 PM
That said, last I checked in Ohio the CHL law is written that a pistol has to be carried in a holster
Can you cite that law? Because I've never seen any such law in any state.
October 15, 2012, 02:31 PM
No one said Ohio's CHL law made sense.
When the law was first released all of the verbiage referred to the pistol being in a holster while on your person. Since there was no legal precedence being a new law, the consensus of the OFCC and all of the trainers I knew was that the pistol needed to be in a holster or you ran the chance of running afoul of the writing of the law.
I did a little more research and it appears that verbiage was changed as a result of the 2011 amendments that made car carry more flexible, but i'd want to read further before confirming that with confidence.
I've not followed that particular part of the law too closely because I always use a holster.
Just to be clear, this was the language used in the actual law, not the AG's overview. I'm on my phone and do not have full access to the actual law to pull the portions I am talking about.

I use one on a lightweight commander around the shop, I like it quite a bit, but I generally carry condition three.
October 17, 2012, 08:03 PM
I had one for my G26 when they first came out, and to make a long story short... they suck... bad
The retention on your belt it way too much by design, and the finish looks like crap. It stayed on the gun for a few days then came off
October 21, 2012, 09:49 AM
Do not put any faith in anything retained by a "clip". I have seen too many of them fail and it's an ugly thing to see.
October 21, 2012, 10:55 AM
I have done so on the above 2 guns as well as a KelTec P3AT.
I feel VERY comfortable with all of them and safe as well.
But I got rid of the P3AT and replaced it with a Ruger LCP.
The snubby was not as comfortable and I stopped carrying it as a strong side primary.
the 1911 is often carried 'mexican' and that to me is comfortable as I can move it around IF it gets annoying in one position for a long day.
Of them all the only one I felt very safe with is the 1911.
I would NEVER carry a Glock that way ,and I do OFTEN carry a G-23.
I found that the Fricke trigger holster is totally safe to /mexican' carry and its a GREAT way to deep cover a full size pistol under a 'T' shirt in hot/muggy.
I am 5'4" and weigh a stocky [ wear a XL shirt ] 200 pounds. weather
October 31, 2012, 07:23 PM
I tried one on a glock 20 once. hated it.......
November 22, 2012, 12:35 AM
had one on a Kel-tec P-11 for a while. It carried pretty good but it's a much smaller gun. Too good actually. I started considering how much it liked to snag over the belt and such as I was trying to remove it. Then I wondered how much it might snag under stress of an urgent need. Decided that i'd rather have a retention system that holds it securely, but without so many "barbs" impeding extraction.

In the wake of Ioki
San Jose aids typhoon-ravaged Wake Island
By Chris Johnson
On Aug. 31, 188 airmen and Department of Defense civilians boarded two C-17 Globemaster cargo planes on the tiny Pacific atoll known as Wake Island. Taking only what they could carry, they fled their homes just hours before the island was hit by the strongest typhoon ever recorded in the central Pacific.
Super Typhoon Ioke would have been devastating had it formed anywhere else. Achieving category 5 status twice before finally subsiding, the storm luckily passed far clear of most populated areas. The U.S. Air Force base on Wake Island however, was not so fortunate.
Within hours of the evacuation, the island was raked by 190 mph winds. The island's own weather equipment was overwhelmed and collapsed long before the storm reached its peak. An 18-foot storm surge and 40-foot waves pummeled the low-lying atoll, the highest point of which is only 14 feet above sea level.
The only thing the Air Force could do was hope the base wouldn't be lost completely.
"Prior to the storm, the experts were all saying there would be no runway left to assess," said Maj. Pat Poon, an Air Force disaster response team commander. "The thought was the waves and storm surge were going to erode the runway or at least cause some major damage."
Because it was likely the runway had been completely washed away, the Air Force had no way of flying recovery teams to the island. The only way in was by sea.
Sixteen members of the 36th Contingency Response Group boarded Military Sealift Command ship USNS San Jose Sept. 4 to begin the four-day journey to whatever might be left of Wake Island. The team's mission was to determine what damage had been done to the island and, hopefully, begin clearing the airfield to allow landings.
When the typhoon hit, San Jose, a combat stores ship in MSC's Naval Fleet Auxiliary Force, was pierside in Guam. Needing an available ship that could accommodate helicopter operations, Commander, Logistics Forces, Western Pacific tasked San Jose with the vital mission.
Prior to arriving on the island, San Jose's crew and the Air Force recovery team reviewed Coast Guard overflight photos and satellite imagery. Although the damage looked moderate from the pictures, the scene on the ground told a different story when they arrived Sept. 8.
"The photos indicated there would be a lot of work," Air Force Senior Master Sgt. John Wilde said. "But when we arrived and I actually saw firsthand the stripped vegetation, the parts of roofs strewn all over the island ... I honestly think, structural-wise, the photos didn't do justice to what [I found]."
As the atoll surrounds a very shallow lagoon, there was no way for San Jose to pull pierside. Instead, the ship anchored three miles away, ferrying supplies and personnel by helicopter and small boat. A Deck Department team, led by San Jose Chief Mate Jim Moree assisted the helicopter operations ashore by working as cargo handlers, a task they were well trained to do.
On the island, San Jose crewmembers and the Air Force recovery team began a thorough damage assessment. They discovered that about 70 percent of the buildings had been moderately to severely damaged during the storm.
"This building split in half," said Air Force Staff Sgt. Song Lee."Half of it collapsed, and the rest of it doesn't look like it's in too good of shape. When we run into something as bad as this, all we can do is chalk it up as lost. There's just no way to fix something like this. You'd have to bulldoze it and start from scratch."
The team ran into similar scenes all over the island. Twelve of 31 transportation and refueling vehicles wouldn't operate. The islands power grid was destroyed and most power lines and back-up generators were damaged. But luckily, the airfield had received only minor casualties.
It was San Jose's crew that determined the airfield was still structurally capable of handling the massive cargo planes the Air Force would need to bring people and supplies back to the island. A team of civil service mariners and members of San Jose's military detachment drilled core samples to ensure the airstrip was stable.
After the samples were taken, the Air Force team cleared the debris littering the field. The crew of San Jose assisted with that as well.
"They came over three days. They helped clean up a lot of the runway and surrounding area," Poon said.
After five days of work, the airfield was reopened. A Globemaster from Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, was the first to land, bringing supplies and a fresh team of contractors and Defense Department civilians to replace the initial responders.
In addition to the team from Hickam, the Globemaster brought several of the island's residents home. As little information had filtered off the atoll, many didn't know what to expect.
A tumultuous history
This was not the first time Wake Island has been so close to destruction. In 1967 the island was evacuated before being hit head on by Typhoon Sarah. But Typhoons are only part of Wake Island's tumultous history.
Wake Island is actually part of an atoll - three small islands surrounding a lagoon. Lacking indigenous inhabitants, The United States annexed the island in 1889, and it sat unused until Pan American Airways built a small village to service China-bound flights in 1935. The village remained in use until late 1941, when 16 Japanese bombers raided the island's military garrison.
Despite heavy resistance from the Americans, a full-scale Japanese assault eventually overwhelmed the island. After the battle, captured America laborers were forced to work for their Japanese captors. All 98 prisoners were executed following a successful air raid by U.S. forces. The Japanese held the island until 1945, following several air raids, one of which was the first mission for Navy pilot and future U.S. President George H.W. Bush.
In 1975, the island was used as a refugee camp for more than 8,000 Vietnamese who fled their homes following the fall of Saigon. Since then, the island has been used as a scientific outpost and refueling base for Pacific aircraft.
Assessments continue
As structural damage was widespread, it will take some time before the island returns to normal operations, if it returns at all. Civil engineers are hard at work putting together cost estimates so Air Force leaders can determine the way ahead. Currently, there are three options. The first is to bring Wake Island back to pre-Ioke conditions, which would require a massive rebuilding effort. The second option is to repair only facilities that weren't completely destroyed. The third is to scale the islands operations down significantly, using it only as a Pacific refueling stop.
Regardless of the eventual outcome, it was the crew of San Jose who made the work possible.
"I was very proud to be a part of a joint civil service mariner, Navy and Air Force team during the Wake Island assessment effort," said San Jose civilian master Capt. Jim O'Brien. "Everyone came together to mobilize quickly and once underway, assessment support plans were developed and were executed like clockwork. A mighty fine crew, these shipmates always get the job done with style."

Canning fruit is the easiest and possibly most rewarding way to begin learning how to home can. Since fruit is an acid food you will be water bath canning. Water bath canning is the best way to get started in home canning your own foods.
This page is a listing of methods of canning fruit. For making jams, jellies and other sweet spreads go to my Jam or Jelly Page.
Need a waterbath canner?
Click here to read about my favorite canner to invest in.
Canning Apples ~ Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp..mmmmm. Honey Crisp apples are my favorite for eating fresh. Jona-Gold apples are what we use for canning.
Applesauce~ What kind of apples makes the best applesauce? Maybe you like extra sweet or extra tart. We love Jona-Gold apples. Especially when canning applesauce. It is the best tasting (in our humble opinion). No sugar needed! The red skins give the applesauce the most beautiful pink color. You might want to experiment and see what combinations will do for your family.
Apple Butter ~ Home canned apple butter slathered on lightly toasted and buttered fresh bread. Add a cup of tea or decaf coffee. A favorite bedtime snack for me!
Apple Pie Filling ~ Do you love apple pie, but never take the time to prepare it? I'll bet if you have the filling all ready and waiting on your pantry shelf, you'll have apple pie more than just at Thanksgiving.
Canning Cherries ~Canning cherries in a light syrup makes it easy to create desserts of your choice later. I like simplicity!
Cherry Pie Filling ~ Sweet or Sour Cherry Pie Filling
Freezing Cherries ~ I know it is not canning but a freezing page is coming soon so I might as well get this posted now.
Canning Peaches ~ I don't know if anything beats picking a peach fresh off the tree and eating it right there. Canning enables you to have that fresh taste year round
Peach Pie ~ Peach Pie recipes can be adapted by adding a hint of cinnamon or a dash of almond extract. Or leave the seasonings out for an easy traditional dessert.
Canning Apricots ~ Canning apricots is easier than peaches... no peeling if you raw pack. (sometimes called cold pack)
Canning Guava Fruit ~ Guava is really very healthy for you. For those of you who have easy access to it here are directions for canning guava.
Canning Berries ~ Blackberries, blueberries, currants, dewberries, elderberries, gooseberries, huckleberries, loganberries, mulberries, raspberries.
Canning Pears ~ Canned pears is another fruit that we love love love. Home canning provides fruit that is so much healthier and less expensive than store bought fruit.
Canning Asian Pears ~ I was asked about canning Asian pears. Since I am not familiar with this type of fruit I did a little research. Asian pears need to be acidified before canning. Learned something new today!
Need to use a sugar substitute? Check out Canning with Splenda
Apples, peaches, apricots, cherries, pears..... MMmmmm what do these all have in common?
Tasty? yes.
Fruity? yes.
Grows on trees? yes.
Seasonal? Unfortunately, yes. That fresh picked taste lasts as long as the season.
Unless you are lucky enough to have a strawberry patch or a peach or apple tree in your yard to harvest from, you will most likely need to get fresh fruit at a locally owned orchard, fruit stand or farmers market.
I do not recommend getting fruit for canning from a mega-market. Who knows when it was picked or who has handled it. Often much of it has been waxed to get that shiny appearance. The quality of fresh produce is superior in EVERY way.
If the mega market is all you have then by all means go there. But most places will have farmers markets and fruit stands. Even in the city. Ask around, I'll bet you'll find some.
See the bottom of this page for a list of frequently asked questions.
Question: My local store has #10 cans of fruit. My question is: can I waterbath fruit already canned. How long do I waterbath for a seal.
Answer: Michael, for safety reasons yes, you can re-can the fruit again. In order to ensure the food in your jar is sterilized you need to process for the same time as if it was fresh.... for this reason I think you'll be disappointed in the end product. Depending on the fruit it will probably be mushy and over cooked.
For something like applesauce it might be fine though. It just depends on the fruit. Freezing in smaller portions might be a better option.

If not reading the forums helps your appreciation of V/M the way doris muting the program does, have at it.
If not reading the forums helps your appreciation of V/M the way doris muting the program does, have at it.
Her argument is as follows
1. V/M aren't one of her favourite teams ever.
2. Her criterion for favourite team ever involves how often she replays their programs, either in her head or on yotube, etc.
3. One of the reasons was that she doesn't care for the music they choose.
Now, I have to admit this comment
confuses me. But I've learned not to question doris when she does that.Teams that I haven't seen enough of yet, and are still active: Virtue & Moir, Weaver & Poje, . If they retired, they'd be in the upper list.
If this some battle you have from FSU, keep it on FSU then.
The reason I asked was because I was a skater before I was a fan. Not a very good skater, but there were a lot of basics that I just knew because I had done them, or seen more advanced skaters doing up close, several days a week, in contexts that break down the skills more than you're likely to see in the context of a freestyle program or free dance.
I wasn't a very good musician either, at the middle school level, and didn't really continue very far with music lessons. So I know more about the basics of music than someone who never studied it at all, but not nearly as much as sonmeone who has made music at a more advanced level or taken many music classes.
E.g., I can hear if there's a chord change in the music, but I can't tell just by hearing the relationship of the first chord to the second.
So maybe it's the same kind of appreciation -- we all bring different levels of knowledge to the way we watch, so we watch (or listen) for different kinds of details. What's second nature to me might not be for you, and vice versa.
It's a wonderful advantage to have practiced something before becoming a fan! I envy you both in terms of music and skating. The people on here who are skaters or who have relatives who skate bring so much to their commentary.
My music ear is along the lines of being able to identify many pieces by composer within a few notes whether I know the specific piece or not (for instance, I can spot Sibelius or Rachmaninoff or Berlioz in short order because I know their distinctive "voices"). And I know and love a lot of composers of many eras and their works, which is why I just adore threads that ask us to come up with pieces that various skaters should perform to. (Lots of French music would work for Mao!) I've read up on my own about composers and their works, chiefly of the Romantic era. And music makes me feel more alive, which is I suppose the basic element of what makes me a music lover.
If they keep going and skate some more fine performances, possibly to music that Doris likes better, then they might well move up to a higher place on the list.
I thought the upper list was filled with skaters who she could rewatch. She said that she can't rewatch most of V/M's programs due to their music. If they retired now, presumably they wouldn't have any more programs to skate and wouldn't be able to graduate to the upper list. I know I'm missing something, but not sure what.
Not listing couples that are still competing..
At first they didn't have a style sicne they were from completely different dance schools.Then they didn't have programs that suited them,but were they technical and fast,and powerful and with the most itnricate footwork.I absolutely loved their 1992 FD and I'm probably the only one that loved it.For me, they found their programs in 1997.Both their tango OD and their FD were just them.
Of course the fact that I started watching ice dancing exactly in 1989 plays a significant role.For example I still consider as a 14 year old at the time the best FD event ever to be the 1990 Worlds FD.I found every program in the top 8 at least watchable,they were all so different,the choreography was meaningful and this is how I fell in love with the sport in the first place.Back in the day I didn't appreciate K/P that much,but their 1992 FD did it for me.I still consider it to be my favourite free dance.The tempo changes and the way they executed them were textbook perfection.Actually,my problem with them initially was exactly that.Their perfection.They seemed a bit cold to this ice dance rookie at first.
Honorable mentions:
Usova/Zhulin :because they made me discover Piazolla and I consider their 1990 FD one of the few watchable tangos on ice.(And because I had a crush on Sasha... lol)
Bestemjanova/Bukin and Torvil/Dean: I can't get into either of them.I like B/B for their speed and power ,I respect T/D but unfortunately I'm one of the few people that will never understand what was so special about them.Again I blame this to the fact that I didn't watch them when I should but got to know them in 1994.
The ones I watched much later but was completely mesmerized by them were Pakhomova/Gorshkov.Yes,I know that ice dancing was just an ugly duckling back then,but these two and she especially had something that grabbed your attention and you couldn't let go.Without being extra charismatic and in your face,without being over dramatic...
Extra honorable mentions :
Moiseeva/Minenkov up to 1979,the Duchesnays up to 1990,Anissina/Peizerat for that Romeo and his Juliet (best interpretation of the music for me)
Personal favourite for no particular reasons: Navka/Kostomarov .I think that they never had the programs they should have but I still loved them.
Last edited by alithia; 01-15-2012 at 06:36 PM.
I dont watch often to understand which team is good and why but from the past Assinina /Peizerat because they were the ones I recognised when started watching.
I also always enjoyed the Kerrs for their coolness, Natalie/Fabian , Faela/Scali, Delobel/ Schoenfelder and Domnina/Shabalin, Denkova/Stavisky I ve only seen them in shows, mostly european teams probably because I have seen them live and won me over. I love this year Capelini/Lanote short program.
Lately I ve seen a documentary about Dark side of figure skating, and the drama with Usova, Zhulin, Pasha and Platov, and I believe I would have liked Pasha Platov if I had watched them in their time.
For me: Torvill & Dean, Klimova & Ponomarenko, and Delobel &Schoenfelder
The first two couples for all the reasons everyone already mentioned. DelSchoes for their beautiful and innovative programs. They were so underrated, imo. They had some of the most difficult programs during their era, and among the best technique. Frida, Carnival of Venice, Bonnie & Clyde, The Piano, The Great Gig in the Sky were wonderfully different free dances. They had great ODs as well, and were masters of the compulsory dances.
Mathman, You understood what I was getting at, exactly, about skaters on my intermediate list:
After skaters retire, even if I wasn't crazy about their music, but liked their skating and programs, I miss them! While they are still skating, I'll wait till their next performance, their next year's program, their summer ice exhibitions, etc.
However, once they are truly retired, the only "them" that is there to see is their existing body of work. And after I watch the one or two pieces of theirs I really, really like, I'll want more. And then I'll start playing over stuff where I didn't like the music that much but liked the skating.
In Tessa & Scott's case, their Charleston from 2009 and Farrucas from 2010, because Charleston has a really great lift in it, and the timing work to the miserable footstompings in Farrucas is just excellent! I'll want to see it again. But right now, they are still skating, and I have hopes that next time they show Funny Face, they will go with an instrumental version of S'Wonderful instead, and maybe this time I will be able to hear the "m" in dreams, and not hear kiddies singing about the "musical fruit" in my head. I'm not as anti bean as Pythagoras, but there it is.)
Olympia, I have no problem with Gershwin's music for S'Wonderful, it's the lyrics. And it's the same with Temptation in the SD-if I keep hearing "Everything is made from beans, the mental image I get is not of romance, but of elementary school jokes. In fact, to dispel the beans image, I looked up the lyrics to find out that "Everything is made from dreams," a much more satisfactory romantic image. Unfortunately, that's what I still hear when I listen to Krall. Beans. Maybe jeans. But not dreams. No M.
In fact, I wish they went back to no lyrics for ice dance, since it is so often the lyrics that spoil the piece for me-
the Martin Luther King speech in A&P's 2002 FD
The caterwauling Je t'aime in Umbrelllas
The beans
The stupid convention of sticking a s on a number of words because the lyricist can't get the meter to work out without the elision.
It's better if the lyrics are in a language I don't know-I would hate D&W's SD if they had JLo singing the English version. Fortunately, the Spanish version is just "aural shapes" to me. Thank you IP for the term.

PGA Shop opens this weekend at ValhallaUPDATED 9:53 PM EDT Jul 30, 2014
The PGA shop will soon be open at Valhalla ahead of next week's PGA Championship.Video Transcript
EVER BEFORE AND IT OPENS TO THE PUBLIC THIS WEEKEND. W-L-K-Y'S ANNA-LYSA GAYLE WAS AT VALHALLA TODAY. SHE GIVES US AN EARLY LOOK AT WHAT TO EXPECT INSIDE THE CHAMPIONSHIP SHOPS. "It's called the Championship Shops and it's the size of a football field. It's another exciting attraction coming to Valhalla for golf fans." SOT "It's the largest tent we've ever had at a PGA Championship as far as merchandise." WITH THE P-G-A CHAMPIONSHIP RETURNING TO LOUISVILLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER A DECADE, ORGANIZERS ARE BRINGING IT IN WITH STYLE. "In 1996 and 2000, these events were complete sellouts. Our event is nearing that right now and we're anticipating about 50,000 people per day for the Championship rounds and about 250,000 total people for the week." "That's what Tiger is wearing on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and then Rory is right over there." MICHAEL QUIRK, THE SENIOR DIRECTOR OF MERCHANDISING WITH PGA OF AMERICA, SAYS GOLF FANS WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO BUY OUTFITS SIMILAR TO THE ONES TIGER WOODS AND RORY MCILROY WILL BE WEARING THROUGHOUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP. "This is really kind of exclusive gear, because no one is selling this logo within a hundred miles of this area." AND IT'S NOT JUST OUTFITS. FANS WILL ALSO HAVE A CHANCE TO TAKE PHOTOS WITH THE WANAMAKER TROPHY AND CUSTOMIZE THEIR OWN LOUISVILLE SLUGGER BATS. "I think this is something that will be very well received." RIGHT NOW WORKERS ARE PUTTING THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON THE STORE. IT WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC STARTING ON SATURDAY AT 10 A-M. BRETT STERBA SAYS THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP SHOPS IS NOT ONLY BRINGING IN REVENUE FOR VALHALLA BUT ALSO FOR THE STATE.

I can choose between Brandon Jackson, Matt Forte, Hines Ward, Santana Moss, or Jeremy Maclin. Right now, I'm leaning heavily toward Jackson, who should have a good matchup against Buffalo's new 3-4 defense that doesn't have 3-4 players yet. Thanks for any input.

Most of you are historically illiterate... YES slavery has always been around, but black people being slaves is pretty much exclusively an American thing... And wasn't happening in the 1500's. Get your **** together, FJ.

FC Dallas waits for captain to emerge; Pareja in no hurry to name one
By STEVE HUNT / Special Contributor
On Monday, FC Dallas headed to Bradenton, Fla., and with the March 8 season opener against Montreal at Toyota Stadium three weeks away, the club is still without a captain. However, head coach Oscar Pareja isn't concerned.
Pareja, a former FCD player and assistant coach, has several candidates to replace David Ferreira as captain. Ferreira, the 2010 MLS MVP, did not have his option picked up after last season and has returned to his native Colombia. Center back George John, the club's longest-tenured player, is the favorite.
"Definitely, it should be a person who can jell the group, who can glue the group," Pareja said. "I don't think it's going to be too difficult. I think we have a few candidates, and we're close to making that decision."
Newcomer Hendry Thomas, who played for Pareja in Colorado the last two seasons and was acquired in a trade last week, is another possibility.
"Yes, he could [be captain]," Pareja said. "I know players are going to love him because he's a good leader. For sure, he will contribute with the armband or without it. His leadership, that is natural."
But no matter whom the new FCD coach picks to be captain, he doesn't have a timeline for doing so, saying that when it feels right, he'll make an announcement.
"I'm very particular on that part, with the captaincy," Pareja said. "I think it just comes naturally at the right time. It just jumps. It's organic. It may be tomorrow. It may be in a week. It just will come. I can wait a little. That's fine."
Castillo's progression: In 2011, when Pareja was an FCD assistant coach, he played a role in the signing of fellow Colombian Fabian Castillo. Pareja hasn't coached the 21-year-old forward in three years, but now that the two are reunited, he quickly noticed a big difference in the young playmaker.
"Mentally, he has grown." Pareja said. "He looks more mature. Still a lot of work to do, and he knows that, but I think the change of his mentality has been huge," Pareja said. "I take pride in that comment because that's been one of the better surprises for me."
Teammates again: FCD center back Matt Hedges and midfielder Brian Span were teammates in 2011 with Reading United of the USL Premier Development League (PDL). And after Dallas won the rights to Span in a weighted lottery in January, they are teammates again.
"It's like we never left. We played together already, and we're friends. We always had a good partnership on the field and off," Span said.

This team's turnaround from cellar dweller last year to playoff hopeful this season ha s been nothing short of amazing. Most of us were there for the 3-29 start last year and saw lots of stinky basketball, but it wasn't all bad. Most every game there was lots of inspired play, and great effort, but in the end, most games ended in despair.
Most surprising to me is the improved defense. I read all the articles and saw the video clips after the season about how Coach Brooks number one priority for this season was to improve the defense. Brooks was talking about it in exit interviews. Presti was talking about it in Summer League. I thought to myself two things: 1)"yeah right" 2) why not fix the offense, it's worse than the defense. In my experience most coaches talk all day and all night about getting better on defense. I've heard it a million times. And I've heard it from more than a handful of coaches who've coached this franchise, yet for all the talk, I can't remember ever having seen a team turn around a defense as quickly and completely as the Thunder have with virtually the same roster that was playing terrible defense at the end of last season.
This team right now is a top 5 defense. It's not a fluke. It's been consistently top 8 or above all season long. eFG% allowed is number 2 right now, sandwiched between defensive powerhouses Boston and Orlando.
You'll have to forgive me for being skeptical. I'm one of those long suffering converted Sonic fans who just hasn't been witness to any stellar defense in quite a long time.
Going backward from today, Coach Brooks didn't do much of anything to improve the defense during his 69 games as the head man last year. In fact, after P.J. Carlesimo was fired the defense actually got worse under Brooks. P.J. had the team playing a lot of zone and Brooks had the team playing straight up. The defensive rating during Brooks' first 20 games was 111.7 points per 100 possessions. The team finished up the year with a defensive rating of 109.4, but it was 106 under P.J.
Prior to that when the team wore Green and Gold the team's defensive rating in the previous five seasons was 109.5, 110.3, 114.4, 109.6 and 108 (we are currently at 103.1). You have to go all the way back to '02-'03- the year Gary Payton and Des Mason were traded to Milwaukee for Ray Allen and Flip Murray- to find a year where we were even "decent" on defense, and they were only the 17th best defense in the NBA that year. Those years of Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis were not just bad defensively, they were historically-close to all time bad.
We've had some very good defensive squads, but that was back in the mid '90's with George Karl at the helm and Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp. It was like a lifetime ago. I obviously liked those teams very much but I don't remember liking them for their defense. As a much younger basketball and Sonic fan I loved the offense and the big play. Now I see the game differently and I see how a team really only has a good season or makes the playoffs as sort of an outlier or anomaly without at least a decent defense.
When you examine this Roster of ours it's pretty clear that Sam Presti was in the laboratory cooking up this very recipe. When I saw Kevin Durant at Texas shooting long jumpers with ease, Presti must have been thinking how those long arms could really play the passing lanes on defense. He went out and actively got Thabo and Weaver in trades because of defense. He drafted Westbrook for a lot of reasons, but the Pac-10 defensive player of the year was part of it (Weaver was on the Pac-10 all defense first team with Westbrook the previous year). Ibaka protects the basket, Collison is the only guy still here from 3 years ago and coincidentally he's a good interior defender.
Presti had obviously surveyed the landscape of the NBA and realized that great defense gets you and keeps you in the game. If he was going to blow up and remake the team piece by piece he needed to get guys who could accept that it had to start on defense. He did that very thing. And Brooks has to be given a ton of credit.
I didn't really know this, but looking it up I found that Brooks had been a part of great defensive teams before-albeit a bit part. His last two stops as a player were in Cleveland with Mike Fratello and the number 1 defense in the association that year, and prior to that with the Jeff VanGundy Knicks and the number 2 defensive squad in the league. He was also on those Rudy Tomjanovich Houston teams which were top three defensive squads. He also coached with Coach Karl in Denver.
So my hat is off to Presti for getting the pieces, but especially to Coach Brooks and his staff (Ron Adams has gotten a bit of praise for being the "architect" of the defense) for making it work in an almost overnight fashion.

Sir.—Recent reports advocate treating bone and joint infections with oral antibiotics after an initial course of intravenous (IV) therapy.1-5 This mode of therapy has not been recommended for newborns because of lack of information on the reliability of absorption of orally administered antibiotics in this age group.6
Satisfactory clinical response has been reported in five newborns with acute osteomyelitis treated in this manner; however, monitoring of peak and trough killing titers achieved in the infants' blood against the causative organism, as is recommended by most authorities, was not performed.7
Report of a Case.—We recently treated a 2,780-g term neonate with osteomyelitis. This male infant was delivered by emergency cesarean section because of fetal distress. A large amount of meconium was aspirated from his trachea immediately after delivery. His Apgar scores were 2 and 6 at one and five minutes, respectively. The baby subsequently manifested persistent

As we read anxiously about the possibility of a worldwide pandemic of avian influenza, another epidemic is actually happening in the United States and elsewhere. Methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have now emerged as community-acquired pathogens capable of causing serious disease. We have known about MRSA since the early 1960s (1). Until recently, however, infection with these strains was primarily limited to hospitals and other institutional settings. Sporadic reports of community-acquired (or community-associated) MRSA infections have appeared since 1980, but 1999 marked the beginning of the current epidemic in the United States. The sentinel event was a series of fatal cases of community-acquired MRSA infections due to a clone of MRSA known as USA 400 in Native American children living in the Midwest (2). The USA 400 type has subsequently caused infections throughout the country.

First-time visitors to the city will be surprised by the pink stone of the buildings in the Historical Center and the elegance of its Cathedral, the sound of whose bells accompanies those strolling through the city's streets, plazas and gardens. They will also be able to admire examples of the city's viceregal architecture in the baroque, neoclassical and plateresque styles such as the Clavijero Palace, the Palacio de Gobierno, the Church of the Society of Jesus and the Church of St. Augustine. Visitors are usually surprised to discover that music is still played at the Conservatorio de las Rosas, the first of its kind in America. Also of interest is the Aqueduct, a late 18th century hydraulic work, as well as the houses that have preserved some of the loveliest courtyards in Mexico.
In addition to its colonial buildings, churches and former monasteries, Michoacán also provides an opportunity to buy selected handicrafts and share unforgettable moments with the people who make them: the master craftsmen.
Exploring the lively, colorful markets, seeing the traditional clothes still worn in this region and sampling Michoacn's delicious cuisine will give you a feel for the area and its people.
