|7/13/2016 – SOTO CANO AIR BASE, Honduras — What started as a quiet afternoon spent enjoying off-duty time and celebrating the Fourth of July weekend in Roatán, Honduras took a sudden turn for one member of Joint Task Force-Bravo on July 2.
U.S. Army Spc. Tyler Holman, a combat medic assigned to the 1st Battalion, 228th Aviation Regiment, was at a local scuba shop packing up his equipment after returning from a dive when he heard yells for help.
"I didn't know what was going on, but the individual was yelling for a doctor or anybody who knew CPR," Holman said. "So I took off and about 50 to 60 meters down the beach four or five people were gathered around a young Honduran lady laying on the ground. She was probably around 13 years old. I kind of put two and two together when I saw her soaked, unresponsive, and looking like she was just pulled out of the water."
Immediately, Holman took control of the situation and positioned the girl to administer CPR. Two minutes later, the girl started breathing again and she was moved to a park ranger's truck to be transported to the hospital.
"She and I were in the backseat and she was breathing a little bit, but crashed on the way up there so I did CPR again," Holman said. "The hospital's on the other side of the island — usually about a 25 minute drive, but the park rangers made it in 7 minutes. It was pretty difficult trying to keep her breathing and keep myself in the truck."
The moment the truck arrived at the hospital Holman carried the girl to a stretcher. He then watched as the girl became responsive the moment the stretcher's front wheels hit the ER ramp. After talking to a couple doctors to let them know what happened, he was relieved to learn she would most likely make a full recovery.
"The whole ordeal took probably around 15 minutes, but time really didn't exist because my adrenaline was pumping and I was just focused on keeping her alive," Holman said.
Because he was so focused on keeping the girl alive, Holman didn't realize that he didn't have any shoes on, his shirt was partially buttoned, and his wallet was still with his scuba equipment.
Not seeking recognition, Holman only informed his leadership of what transpired because he noticed some of the locals were taking pictures and videos of him and he wanted them to be aware in case he showed up on the local news.
"I'm glad Spc. Holman was in the right place at the right time to take swift action," said U.S. Army Capt. Michael Haynes, 1-228th AVN Headquarters and Headquarters Company commander. "He's one of our many great 'Phantoms' who apply instinct and training in times of need. In this situation particularly, he embodied not only the Army values but the vision of what the 1-228th AVN strives for every day. I'm honored to have him on the Phantom team."
Holman was awarded the Joint Service Commendation Medal from U.S. Navy Adm. Kurt Tidd, the commander of U.S. Southern Command, but he insists he only did what comes natural to him as a combat medic.
"I didn't do this for an award," Holman said. "As cliché as it sounds, my passion in life is helping people. Any medic in the Army worth their salt would do the exact same thing every time because that's just what we do."
Although Holman is reaching the end of an Army enlistment that's taken him to nine different countries in four years, he will be getting out to resume his pre-med studies and work in the emergency medical services field — a field he worked in prior to joining the Army.
"Medics and soldiers have a lot in common," Holman said. "Sometimes people get confused about what a hero is. We're not heroes. We just care about people and that's what we want to do — help."

Gilmore Girls is an American comedy-drama series created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, starring Golden Globe nominee Lauren Graham and Teen Choice Award winner Alexis Bledel. On October 5, 2000, the series debuted on The WB to widespread critical acclaim and remained a tent-pole to the WB until it was cancelled in its seventh season, ending on May 15, 2007 on The CW. The show follows single mother Lorelai Gilmore (Graham) and her daughter Rory Gilmore (Bledel) living in the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut, located approximately 30 minutes from Hartford, Connecticut. Ambition, education, and work constitute part of the series' central concerns, telling Lorelai's story from pregnant teen runaway and high school dropout to co-owner and manager of the Dragonfly Inn. Rory's transition from public school to the prestigious Chilton is similarly followed, exploring her ambition to study at an Ivy League college and to become a foreign correspondent.

PLEASANTON, Calif. -- Safeway here has mastered the art of the fast and smooth transition, said industry analysts.
"Every acquisition they've made, they've done better and faster than the previous one," said Gary Giblen, New York-based managing director of Banc of America Montgomery Securities, San Francisco. "Safeway is the master integrator."
Steve Burd, Safeway chairman and chief executive officer, said last year, "We have a religious zeal to make acquisitions work."
The company is clearly intent on keeping the faith. In the past 12 months, Safeway has made three major acquisitions. It acquired Dominick's Supermarkets, Northlake, Ill., Carr Gottstein Foods, Anchorage, Alaska and Randall's Food Markets, Houston.
Last year, Burd explained the Safeway takeover philosophy: "We believe acquiring companies and taking advantage of additional sales and best practices will boost our operating cash-flow margins, so we must continue to do acquisitions to maintain our high growth rate."
Industry analysts highlight the care Safeway has taken in choosing acquisition targets.
"There wasn't a sick pup among them," said Jonathan Ziegler, San Francisco-based equity analyst for Salomon Smith Barney, New York. "These are all quality players that could stand on their own."
On its own, Dominick's was (and remains) the second-largest supermarket chain in Chicago, a city that is, according to Giblen, essentially a two-chain town.
What's more, it was a chain with a good reputation, said Chuck Cerankosky, equity analyst for McDonald & Co., Cleveland. "It's a strong, quality neighborhood retailer, particularly strong in perishables," he explained. "They had a lot of stores that are well-positioned to serve individual markets."
In acquiring Dominick's, Safeway was easing a move into new territory -- and new territory pretty distant from its California base -- by doing it under the name of a well-established player.
Pre-takeover Dominick's, however, was not without its problems, according to Meredith Adler, equities analyst at Lehman Bros., New York. "Dominick's was in turmoil," she said.
The chain had tried to expand into the warehouse-store format under the Omni banner. Losing money on that effort, it converted the Omni warehouse stores into Dominick's supermarkets, and found itself losing even more money on those units.
Since the Safeway takeover in November, "things seem to be going well," said Cerankosky. "Safeway is accelerating Dominick's growth plan. Dominick's had a very small vision of greater Chicago. Safeway is looking to trade on Dominick's reputation in a much greater metropolitan area, even taking the chain into Wisconsin."
The Carr Gottstein acquisition didn't take Safeway into new territory. The company already operated a dozen stores in Alaska. But in taking over Carr, Safeway wasn't just getting control of a major rival, but getting control of a major rival with the best distribution system in the state.
"Carrs has its own distribution center in Alaska," said Adler. "Most other companies have to ship supplies from Seattle or Portland, Ore. They're more than 1,000 miles away."
The deal gets high ratings from analysts. "Carr Gottstein was a classic acquisition," said Cerankosky. "It's basically a case of consolidating store sites, in many ways more like a real estate operation than an integration problem."
Still, not all the strings from the deal have been neatly tied up yet. Safeway has only until Oct. 13 to sell the seven stores (one from Carr, six from its inventory) it said it would divest in an agreement with the Alaska attorney general's office last spring. Giblen said he expected they will be sold "to secondary competitors" before the deadline.
The Randall's acquisition is very much a repeat performance of the Dominick's deal for Safeway. Once again, analysts said, the company has purchased a popular regional chain. "The name, Randall's, has a special franchise with customers," said Giblen. "People see it as the quality place to shop, and in Texas people of all incomes want quality."
Also like Dominick's, Randall's had run into expansion problems, in this case, analysts noted, through some acquisitions in the 1980s that did not play out as expected and led to a leveraged buyout in 1986.
But, even before Safeway acquired it, "Randall's was on a strong turnaround trajectory," said Giblen. "Randall's is a kind of automatic pilot acquisition for them."
Burd said he expected Safeway to learn a great deal from its most recent acquisition. "There are dozens of things Randall's does better than Safeway, and we won't be shy about borrowing some of these practices," he said.
"For example, part of this business is excitement and theater, and Tom Thumb stores [a 58-unit chain Randall's operates in the Dallas-Fort Worth area] does a better job in that area than Safeway, and that's one area we expect to learn something," he added.
Burd has made it clear he is still looking for acquisition targets. "This industry is still consolidating," he said, "and in Randall's we inherit a great management team with a great track record, so we won't consume our bench strength. As a result, we could easily do another acquisition this year."
While he hasn't mentioned any companies by name, he did rule out any overseas moves: "Our focus is on North America, where we have 7% of the national market share, and there are lots of opportunities to consolidate and merge in the U.S. without burdening our management team by going trans-Atlantic or trans-Pacific."
And at least one analyst didn't hesitate to offer a suggestion. "There are larger companies, like Winn-Dixie, that would make sense [for them to acquire]," said Giblen. "There is no reason why Safeway couldn't [takeover] Winn-Dixie tomorrow morning."

I've been going to Ping Pong since they opened, the food is very good. I've never had a bad meal. I recently moved back into town and I have to say that although the place is larger and the decor has changed, the food is still very good and very fresh. There are a lot of bad reviews on here about the service, I've always found the service to be good. Even when I do carry out the staff is friendly so I'm guessing the people who have experienced poor service may have been unruly. I see the owner walking around the area from time, I need to stop him and say good job!

Mon, Nov. 28, 4:50 PMPotential U.S. approval of Amicus' migalastat pushed out to at least 2020; shares slump 28% after hours
- Amicus Therapeutics' (NASDAQ:FOLD) hopes for accelerated approval in the U.S. of migalastat for the treatment of Fabry disease have vaporized. In a statement released after the close, it says the FDA wants to see more data, specifically a 12-month cross-over study in treatment-naive Fabry patients who have amenable mutation and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms.
- In addition, the FDA indicated that it does not consider kidney globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) a basis for accelerated approval. GL-3 builds up over time in Fabry patients due to the deficiency of an enzyme called alpha-galactosidase A. Excess GL-3 causes the blood vessels to narrow leading to decreased blood flow and undernourished tissues.
- The company is working with the agency to finalize the study protocol. Enrollment should commence in 2017 with top-line data expected in 2019. A New Drug Application (NDA) will probably not happen until 2020.
- An intermediate Expanded Access Program (EAP) will be set up to ensure short-term access to U.S. Fabry patients who are currently on enzyme replacement therapy and meet EAP guidelines. Clinical trial participants will continue receiving treatment.
- Shares are down 28% after hours on robust volume.

They have all of these rules of conduct for clients, but I guess they do whatever THEY want to do! My stylist was also 30 minutes late for the appointment the week before! This owner put a lot into her website, but everything else is lacking: customer service and the look of the salon!! This place is not professional...don't waste your money!!

I am an award-winning documentary photographer based in Bali / Jakarta, Indonesia.
Initially, photography started as a medium to preserve a fleeting moment in time. As for self-expression, the camera allows me to connect to the world and convey my thoughts and ideas through pictures. But I realized that photography as a powerful instrument to affect social change. Beyond the act of recording, my aim as a photographer is to tell a story that voices the truth, evokes empathy, and ultimately moves people into action. Having a camera in my hand gives me both a rare privilege and a profound responsibility. Though the act of taking an image is instant, a photograph is capable of making a lasting impact.
Currently, I divide my time between commissioned assignments and self-initiated projects focusing on social, environmental, and human rights issues. I have worked on environmental campaigns for Greenpeace International and started a multi-platform initiative to help end HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination in Papua, Indonesia. My photographs have been featured in various international publications and selected for inclusion in the Library of Congress Permanent Photography Collection, Washington DC. I have also received recognitions from Pictures of the Year International (POYi) Emerging Vision Incentive, Reminders Project Asian Photographers Grant, PhotoPhilanthropy Activist Awards, and Open Society Foundation Engagement Audience Grant.
I speak both Bahasa & English fluently and I have an extensive experience working in Indonesia & SE Asia. I am conscientious and resourceful. I am willing to travel and available for reportage, editorial, corporate, portraiture, travel, or any challenging assignments.

Emery stops Charlotte in shootout win
If it was his last game with the Syracuse Crunch, Ray Emery certainly made it count Tuesday night.
Emery stopped 34 shots and turned aside three of four shootout chances by Charlotte to help the Crunch to a 4-3 victory over the Checkers at The Oncenter War Memorial Arena.
Lindsay Kramer of the Syracuse Post-Standard talked to Emery after the victory and filed this game report. The former Ottawa Senators and Philadelphia Flyers netminder has won two of three starts with the Crunch and has a 2.62 goals-against average along with a .925 save percentage.
With Jonas Hiller still unable to practice with the Ducks and current backup goalie Timo Pielmeier only making his NHL debut on Saturday against St. Louis, it is becoming more and more likely that Emery could be recalled to Anaheim sooner than later.
Emery, 28, has 163 games of NHL experience with a career record of 87-51-15 and a 2.70 goals-against average.

Kinsman Stable's Ebony Breeze demonstrated a powerful closing kick to cruise to victory in the $200,000 Endine Handicap (gr. III) for fillies and mares sprinting at Delaware Park Saturday. Ridden by Herberto Castilllo Jr., the 4-year-old daughter of Belong to Me closed from last to first for a widening three-length triumph. Umpateedle, with Jeremy Rose aboard, finished second and it was another 2 3/4 lengths farther back to Bronze Abe, with Mario Pino astride, in third. Ebony Breeze closed off of very quick early fractions set by Electrical Carlita of :21.64 for the quarter mile and :44.53 for the half. But Electrical Carlita had nothing left for the drive as Ebony Breeze won in 1:09.73 for the six furlongs over a fast main track. The Kentucky-bred trained by Bill Mott returned $3.60 as the heavy favorite in the field of five. She raised her career record to seven wins from 19 starts with earnings $648,000. "This is a nice filly and Bill (Mott) has done a wonderful job with her," said winning jockey Herberto Castillo Jr. "On her game, she is as good a sprinter as any other filly I have seen going three quarters. The race today really worked out well. We had a nice honest pace in front of us and we picked up the pieces at the end."(Chart, Equibase)

RICHARD N. HY, PLAINTIFF,v.MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, DEFENDANT.
1. Plaintiff challenges an Administrative Law Judge's ("ALJ") decision, dated May 4, 2011, wherein the ALJ determined that Plaintiff was not disabled under sections 216(i) and 223(d) of the Social Security Act. Plaintiff filed an application for disability insurance benefits, alleging that he became disabled beginning June 15, 2009. He now contends that the ALJ's determination is not based upon substantial evidence, and therefore reversal is warranted.
2. On April 28, 2011, the ALJ held a hearing at which Plaintiff and a vocational expert testified. After consideration of the evidence, including Plaintiff's medical records, the ALJ denied Plaintiff's application for disability insurance benefits. On October 26, 2011, the Appeals Council denied Plaintiff's request for review. Plaintiff filed the current civil action challenging Defendant's final decision in this Court on December 20, 2011.
3. Defendant filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings pursuant to Rule 12(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on July 23, 2012. Plaintiff also moved for such judgment in his favor on the same date. This Court finds the matter fully briefed and oral argument unnecessary. Judgment on the pleadings is appropriate where material facts are undisputed and where a judgment on the merits is possible merely by considering the contents of the pleadings. Sellers v. M.C. Floor Crafters, Inc., 842 F.2d 639, 642 (2d Cir. 1988).
4. A court reviewing a denial of disability benefits may not determine de novo whether an individual is disabled. See 42 U.S.C. § § 405(g), 1383(c)(3); Wagner v. Sec'y of Health and Human Servs., 906 F.2d 856, 860 (2d Cir. 1990). Rather, the Commissioner's determination will be reversed only if it is not supported by substantial evidence or there has been a legal error. See Grey v. Heckler, 721 F.2d 41, 46 (2d Cir. 1983); Marcus v. Califano, 615 F.2d 23, 27 (2d Cir. 1979). Substantial evidence is that which amounts to "more than a mere scintilla," and it has been defined as "such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion." Richardson v. Perales, 402 U.S. 389, 401, 91 S. Ct. 1420, 1427, 28 L. Ed. 2d 842 (1971). Where evidence is deemed susceptible to more than one rational interpretation, the Commissioner's conclusion must be upheld. See Rutherford v. Schweiker, 685 F.2d 60, 62 (2d Cir. 1982), cert denied, 459 U.S. 1212 (1983).
5. "To determine on appeal whether the ALJ's findings are supported by substantial evidence, a reviewing court considers the whole record, examining the evidence from both sides, because an analysis of the substantiality of the evidence must also include that which detracts from its weight." Williams on Behalf of Williams v. Bowen, 859 F.2d 255, 258 (2d Cir. 1988). If supported by substantial evidence, the Commissioner's finding must be sustained "even where substantial evidence may support the plaintiff's position and despite that the court's independent analysis of the evidence may differ from the [Commissioner's]." Rosado v. Sullivan, 805 F. Supp. 147, 153 (S.D.N.Y. 1992). In other words, this Court must afford the Commissioner's determination considerable deference, and will not substitute "its own judgment for that of the [Commissioner], even if it might justifiably have reached a different result upon a de novo review." Valente v. Sec'y of Health and Human Servs., 733 F.2d 1037, 1041 (2d Cir. 1984).
6. The Commissioner has established a five-step sequential evaluation process to determine whether an individual is disabled as defined under the Social Security Act. See 20 C.F.R. § § 404.1520, 416.920. The United States Supreme Court recognized the validity of this analysis in Bowen v. Yuckert, 482 U.S. 137, 140-142, 107 S. Ct. 2287, 2291, 96 L. Ed. 2d 119 (1987), and it remains the proper approach for analyzing whether a claimant is disabled.
7. This five-step process is detailed below:
First, the [Commissioner] considers whether the claimant is currently engaged in substantial gainful activity. If he is not, the [Commissioner] next considers whether the claimant has a "severe impairment" which significantly limits his physical or mental ability to do basic work activities. If the claimant suffers such an impairment, the third inquiry is whether, based solely on medical evidence, the claimant has an impairment which is listed in Appendix 1 of the regulations. If the claimant has such an impairment, the [Commissioner] will consider him disabled without considering vocational factors such as age, education, and work experience; the [Commissioner] presumes that a claimant who is afflicted with a "listed" impairment is unable to perform substantial gainful activity. Assuming the claimant does not have a listed impairment, the fourth inquiry is whether, despite the claimant's severe impairment, he has the residual functional capacity to perform his past work. Finally, if the claimant is unable to perform his past work, the [Commissioner] then determines whether there is other work which the claimant could perform.
Berry v. Schweiker, 675 F.2d 464, 467 (2d Cir. 1982) (per curiam) (quotations in original); see also 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520; Rosa v. Callahan, 168 F.3d 72, 77 (2d Cir. 1999).
8. Although the claimant has the burden of proof as to the first four steps, the Commissioner has the burden of proof on the fifth and final step. See Bowen, 482 U.S. at 146 n.5; Ferraris v. Heckler, 728 F.2d 582, 584 (2d Cir. 1984). The final step of this inquiry is, in turn, divided into two parts. First, the Commissioner must assess the claimant's job qualifications by considering his physical ability, age, education and work experience. Second, the Commissioner must determine whether jobs exist in the national economy that a person having the claimant's qualifications could perform. See 42 U.S.C. § 423(d)(2)(A); 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(f); Heckler v. Campbell, 461 U.S. 458, 460, 103 S. Ct. 1952, 1954, 76 L. Ed. 2d 66 (1983).
9. In this case, the ALJ made the following findings with regard to the five-step process set forth above: (1) Plaintiff has not engaged in substantial gainful activity since June 15, 2009, the alleged onset date (R. 19);*fn1 (2) Plaintiff has the following severe impairments: degenerative disc disease of the thoracic and lumbar spines; disc herniations at the L5-S1, T7-8, and C5-6 levels, "lower extremity venous reflux; status post carpal tunnel release; coronary artery disease; dyspnea secondary to coronary artery disease; and obesity" (R. 19); (3) neither these impairments nor any combination of impairments meets or medically equals a recognized disabling impairment under the regulations (R. 19); (4) Plaintiff retains the residual functional capacity ("RFC") to perform sedentary work as defined in 20 C.F.R. § 404.1567(a) with certain additional limitations (R. 20); and (5) Plaintiff is incapable of performing his past relevant work as a plumber, but he acquired work skills from that job that are transferable to other occupations, such as dispatcher. (R. 25-26.)
10. Plaintiff first contends that the ALJ failed to give adequate weight to the opinions of his treating sources. In his decision, the ALJ gave "significant weight" to the opinion of the consultative examiner Dr. Balderman, who found that Plaintiff had only a mild limitation in bending and lifting due to lumbar spine pain. (R. 23, 334.) He then gave "[s]ome weight" to the opinions of Plaintiff's treating physicians Dr. Huckell and Dr. Beaupin. (R. 24.) Contrary to Plaintiff's assertion, (Pl's Mem of Law at 16), the ALJ neither discounted nor rejected the opinions of Plaintiff's treating physicians. Instead, the ALJ expressly relied on the light exertional limitations consistently imposed by these physicians and reduced Plaintiff's maximum exertional level to sedentary. (R. 24; see R. 527, 610.) Further, although each treating physician noted that Plaintiff "should avoid sitting, standing or walking for more than 2 hours at one time and the total work day should not exceed 8 hours," (R. 527, 610.), the ALJ incorporated this requirement into the hypothetical posed to the vocational expert by inquiring whether the dispatcher job could be performed with an at will sit/stand option. (R. 51.)
11. Plaintiff's next contention that the ALJ ignored "significant probative evidence" of an "edema limitation" is also without merit. (Pl's Mem of Law at 17-18.) Notably, there is no allegation or finding that Plaintiff suffers from any limitation specifically related to edema alone.*fn2 Instead, the lower extremity edema referenced in Plaintiff's medical records was found to be "largely from venous reflux/venous insufficiency," an ailment expressly referenced and discussed in the ALJ's decision. (R. 19, 22, 331, 359, 360-62.) Indeed, the ALJ limited Plaintiff to sedentary work after consideration of "the effects of the claimant's coronary artery disease and venous reflux." (R. 22 (emphasis added).) Further, Plaintiff's medical records reflect that the "lower extremity swelling is worse obviously when he stands for long periods of time," a symptom also taken into account by a sedentary RFC. (R. 360.)
12. Plaintiff further argues that the ALJ improperly determined that he acquired skills during his previous work as a plumber that were transferable to the position of dispatcher. (Pl's Mem or Law at 18-21.) In his decision, the ALJ relied on the vocational expert's testimony that someone with Plaintiff's background and residual functional capacity could perform the job of a dispatcher utilizing skills acquired in his past relevant work as a plumber. (R. 26.) During the hearing, the vocational expert explained that this was a dispatcher "in the industry," i.e. plumbing, and that the transferable skills were "knowledge of product and knowledge of work schedules." (R. 50.)
Plaintiff relies on Draegert v. Barnhart for his assertion that a person's knowledge of product and work schedules is not a skill, but a general aptitude. 311 F.3d 468, 476 (2d Cir. 2002). In Draegert, the transferable "skills" found by the ALJ were the ability to learn, use reason, think clearly, keep physically fit, use personal judgment, and change easily from one task to another. Id. The Second Circuit found these to be generic abilities unrelated to the specific requirements of the claimant's past work. Id. In contrast, transferable skills referred "to learned abilities which combine knowledge with coordinated physical movements, such as operating a typewriter, or a learned mental discipline, or an area of expertise." Id. at 475 (emphasis added)(citing Ellington v. Sec'y of Health and Human Servs., 738 F.2d 159, 161 (6th Cir. 1984)).
This Court agrees with Defendant that Draegert is distinguishable from the instant case. By specifically discussing the possibility of Plaintiff's ability to work as a dispatcher "in the industry," the vocational expert's testimony clearly contemplates Plaintiff's knowledge of product used in the plumbing industry and his understanding of the time required to perform tasks within that field. (R. 50.) Thus, the vocational expert's testimony, on which the ALJ relied, contemplates more than a generic ability to manage one's time, but instead references Plaintiff's acquired "area of expertise" in the plumbing industry. Draegert, 311 F.3d at 475.
13. Finally, Plaintiff argues that the ALJ's credibility determination was not supported by substantial evidence where his "statements were not inconsistent with those of his treating sources," Dr. Beaupin and Dr. Huckell. (Pl's Mem of Law at 21.) As concluded above, however, the ALJ credited those treating source statements and further reduced Plaintiff's RFC accordingly.
14. For the foregoing reasons, the Court concludes that the ALJ's determination that Plaintiff was not disabled within the meaning of the Social Security Act is supported by substantial evidence. Plaintiff's Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings is denied, and Defendant's motion is granted.
IT HEREBY IS ORDERED, that Defendant's Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings (Docket No. 13) is GRANTED;
FURTHER, that Plaintiff's Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings (Docket No. 15) is DENIED;
FURTHER, that the Clerk of the Court is directed to take the necessary steps to close this case.

Having undesirable fat in different areas of your body can have a significant influence on your health and self-esteem.

This dip was so good and easy to make. I took it to a party tonight with a tray of veggies and people raved about it. I think they would have licked out the bowl if they could. Thank you for posting!
Wonderful, easy to make dip - always the first one to vanish! I follow the recipe exactly except for using semi-dried tomatoes. The tiny bit of chilli sauce makes a big difference, as it gives the dip a lovely subtle warmth. Top marks and thanks for posting!
Very yummy dip! Only change I made was doubling the sour cream and leaving out the mayonaisse and I left out the scallions because I didn't have any. Went over really well at a New Year's party. Great recipe!

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Richland County; the Hon.
Robert L. Whitmer, Judge, presiding.
Rehearing denied September 17, 1984.
The parties to this litigation are engaged in the practice of chiropractic in Olney. Defendant Jerry Dishong was associated with plaintiffs Louis A. Wyatt and Wyatt Chiropractic Clinic, Ltd. (Wyatt Clinic). In late September and early October 1983, the defendant left that employment and opened his own office. The plaintiffs then sought injunctive relief in the circuit court of Richland County, based on a covenant not to compete in defendant's employment contract. The court granted a preliminary injunction preventing the defendant from practicing as a chiropractor within 10 miles of Olney. The defendant appeals.
In requesting a preliminary injunction, the plaintiffs must prove that (1) they possess a certain and clearly ascertained right that needed protection, (2) they would suffer irreparable injury without such protection, (3) they have no adequate remedy at law, and (4) they are likely to prevail on the merits. (Akhter v. Shah (1983), 119 Ill. App.3d 131, 134, 456 N.E.2d 232, 235.) The trial court's findings on each of these issues will not be disturbed absent an abuse of discretion. (Booth v. Greber (1977), 48 Ill. App.3d 213, 363 N.E.2d 6.) Despite defendant's contentions to the contrary, the threatened loss of plaintiffs' patients is an irreparable injury preventable by an injunction. (Cockerill v. Wilson (1972), 51 Ill.2d 179, 281 N.E.2d 648.) This dispute thus concerns only whether the plaintiffs are likely to prevail on the merits.
Plaintiff Wyatt set up his chiropractic practice in Olney in 1961. The defendant worked for him between 1969 and 1973. Although the defendant had completed his chiropractic training by then, he had not become licensed in Illinois and was limited to performing such tasks as taking X rays. The defendant moved to Louisiana in 1973, where he associated with an acupuncturist. He obtained licenses to practice chiropractic in Illinois and Louisiana while a resident of Louisiana.
Dr. Wyatt contacted the defendant in Louisiana about returning to Olney and associating with him. They discussed the terms of their agreement. The defendant recalled that Dr. Wyatt had promised him a 70%-30% division of the fees generated by him. Dr. Wyatt stated that he had discussed all aspects of the prospective agreement with the defendant, but he was not certain whether he had specifically mentioned the necessity for a covenant not to compete. He did not contend that he promised the defendant a 70%-30% partnership.
The defendant returned to Olney in October 1976 and began to practice in the Wyatt Clinic without a written contract. Dr. Wyatt indicated that the defendant was paid on a 50%-50% basis during that time. The parties finally signed a contract on August 4, 1977. Under the contract, the defendant was to pay Dr. Wyatt $200 plus 50% of his weekly receipts. The agreement was terminable by the defendant or Dr. Wyatt with 30 days' notice to the other party. Upon termination of the agreement by either party, the defendant would be prohibited from engaging in the practice of chiropractic within 50 miles of Olney for a period of five years. That provision stated that if those time and space restrictions were held invalid by a court, then those restrictions would be revised to include the "maximum reasonable restrictions" allowed under Illinois law.
After the contract was entered into, the compensation of the defendant was changed three times. In 1978, at the request of the defendant, Dr. Wyatt waived the $200 weekly payment. In 1981, the defendant's share of X ray and therapy income was cut from 50% to 10%. According to Dr. Wyatt, this change was necessitated by the rising price of X-ray film. Finally, beginning in 1983, the defendant received 25% of each fee paid by any patient of Dr. Wyatt's who was treated by the defendant. He had previously received 50% of those fees.
In February 1983, Dr. Wyatt brought in a new associate, Dr. Hughes. He did not discuss the employment of Dr. Hughes with the defendant. Dr. Wyatt and his receptionist, Florence Redman, were of the opinion that the presence of Dr. Hughes did not reduce the defendant's compensation because Dr. Hughes' caseload was small. The defendant disagreed. It is undisputed, though, that Dr. Wyatt referred his patients to Dr. Hughes when he went on vacation.
• 1 The defendant advances four reasons why the covenant not to compete is unenforceable against him. First, he describes that clause as adhesive, relying upon American Food Management, Inc. v. Henson (1982), 105 Ill. App.3d 141, 434 N.E.2d 59. In Henson, the defendant relocated to accept employment with the plaintiff without knowing that he would have to sign a covenant not to compete. He was later required to sign an employment contract containing such a covenant. This court held that clause unenforceable because of the disparity of bargaining power between the individual defendant and the multistate corporate plaintiff, and because of the defendant's ignorance of the covenant before he relocated. Here, however, both individuals who signed the contract are health care professionals with advanced degrees, and it is not obvious, as it was in Henson, that the covenant was not mentioned before the defendant moved to accept employment. We do not find the covenant adhesive in these circumstances.
• 2, 3 Next, the defendant argues that the temporal and spatial limitations in the covenant are so unreasonable as to render it merely an attempt to restrain competition. He asserts that we should judge the restrictions in the contract itself, not in the court's order, and if they are unreasonable, we should strike the clause rather than rewrite it. (House of Vision, Inc. v. Hiyane (1967), 37 Ill.2d 32, 225 N.E.2d 21; L & R Insurance Agency, Inc. v. McPhail (1968), 92 Ill. App.2d 107, 235 N.E.2d 153.) The fairness of the restraint initially imposed is a relevant consideration (Barrington Trucking Co. v. Casey (1969), 117 Ill. App.2d 151, 253 N.E.2d 36), but it is much less important where, as here, the covenant specifically allows a court to modify its limits if the original restrictions are too broad. In comparison to other restrictions upheld in Illinois in contracts between practitioners of analogous professions, the 5-year, 10-mile restriction enforced by the trial court is eminently reasonable. (Cockerill v. Wilson (1972), 51 Ill.2d 179, 281 N.E.2d 648; Canfield v. Spear (1969), 44 Ill.2d 49, 254 N.E.2d 433; Bauer v. Sawyer (1956), 8 Ill.2d 351, 134 N.E.2d 329; Field Surgical Associates, Ltd. v. Shadab (1978), 59 Ill. App.3d 991, 376 N.E.2d 660.) The fact that the defendant was hired for an indefinite period of time and was thus an employee at will does not make the restrictions unconscionable. The right to terminate an at-will employment relationship is subject to any termination provisions in the employment contract (Criscione v. Sears, Roebuck & Co. (1978), 66 Ill. App.3d 664, 384 N.E.2d 91; H. Vincent Allen & Associates, Inc. v. Weis (1978), 63 Ill. App.3d 285, 379 N.E.2d 765), including a covenant not to compete. Also, the restrictions are not inappropriate because 95% of the Wyatt Clinic's patients reside within 30 miles of it or because the defendant is a native of Olney. When he first associated with Dr. Wyatt in 1976, the defendant had not yet established a clientele, and the testimony shows that many of his current patients initially patronized him because of his employment at the clinic.
• 4, 5 Next, the defendant insists that Dr. Wyatt's alteration of his compensation relieved him from the obligation to obey the restrictive covenant. His argument is premised on the principle that a party may terminate or rescind a contract because of substantial nonperformance or breach by the other party. (Eager v. Berke (1957), 11 Ill.2d 50, 54, 142 N.E.2d 36, 38.) But, a contract terminable at the will of either party can be modified at any time by either party as a condition of its continuance. (Garber v. Harris Trust & Savings Bank (1982), 104 Ill. App.3d 675, 682, 432 N.E.2d 1309, 1314.) The employment contract has therefore not been breached. Moreover, even construing the actions of Dr. Wyatt as a breach of the contract, the defendant would be excused from complying with the covenant only if there has been a nonperformance of duty that is so material and important as to justify the injured party in regarding the transaction at an end. (C.G. Caster Co. v. Regan (1980), 88 Ill. App.3d 280, 285, 410 N.E.2d 422, 426.) The $200 weekly payment from the defendant to Dr. Wyatt, which was to defray X-ray expenses, was eliminated at the defendant's request. There is no indication that this benefit to the defendant was equaled or outweighed by the reduction of his share of X-ray income and fees from his treatment of Dr. Wyatt's patients. Although the defendant's income has decreased between 1981 and 1983, no testimony suggests that this was caused by the modification of the parties' agreement rather than, as Dr. Wyatt attested to, a loss of business at the clinic. Indeed, since Dr. Wyatt began to refer his patients to Dr. Hughes when he went on vacation, it seems unlikely that this change in compensation significantly affected the defendant's earnings. In any event, Dr. Wyatt's conduct, even if a detriment to the defendant, was not so substantial as to justify the defendant in treating the employment agreement at an end.
• 6 Finally, the defendant claims that the oral modifications of the written contract rendered the entire agreement in violation of the Statute of Frauds (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 59, par. 1) because the covenant not to compete could not be performed within one year of the execution of the agreement. However, a covenant not to compete may be fully performed if the party bound by it dies within the year (Hubbard v. Logsdon (1978), 56 Ill. App.3d 366, 372 N.E.2d 101; Decker v. West (1934), 273 Ill. App. 532), unlike a contract for employment for a term of years, which is simply terminated by that event (Gilliland v. Allstate Insurance Co. (1979), 69 Ill. App.3d 630, 388 N.E.2d 68). According to these authorities, a contract containing a covenant not to compete for a period longer than a year does not run afoul of the Statute of Frauds, while a contract containing a term of employment for such a period would do so. Thus, the contract at bar, even with its oral modifications, is not unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds.
For the foregoing reasons, we find that the circuit court of Richland County did not abuse its discretion in granting the injunctive relief requested by the plaintiffs. Its order must be affirmed.
HARRISON, J., concurring.
KARNS, J., dissenting:
In my opinion the covenant is adhesive, a blatant attempt to restrain competition and unconscionable. As in American Food Management, Inc. v. Henson (1982), 105 Ill. App.3d 141, 434 N.E.2d 59, defendant relocated from Louisiana to Illinois and became an at-will employee of plaintiff on an oral agreement. Defendant's salary was readjusted from time to time in any manner that plaintiff chose. It seems clear that there was no discussion of a restrictive covenant until the 1977 contract was signed, after defendant had moved to Illinois, and defendant's salary was further readjusted, to his disadvantage. But that contract gave him no protection; he could be terminated on 30 days' notice, and even though he had worked for plaintiff for 20 years, the covenant would prevent him from practicing his profession within 50 miles of Olney for five years. In 1983, without any consultation with defendant, plaintiff employed another chiropractor, Dr. Hughes, and referred patients to him, further reducing defendant's income. It is not apparent just what economic harm befell plaintiff, as business was so good that an additional employee was hired. In any event, lack of good faith in an employment relationship is of relevance in enforcement of restrictive covenants. Rao v. Rao (7th Cir. 1983), 718 F.2d 219.
The cases cited by the majority upholding the validity of similar restrictions by medical professions would appear to support the majority position; however, on analysis, they involve generally the negotiation of agreements among professionals, usually partners, of equal bargaining power in populous areas of the State. Defendant here was an at-will employee.
This appears to me to be a covenant designed to restrict competition of the kind that has been considered invalid as a restraint of trade against the public interest. See generally Note, 1978 U. Ill. L.F. 249, 251.

High-Tech Hotspots: a Roadmap
New technologies, the demand for quality workers, business-friendly cities, and access to more power are driving high-tech industries toward traditional tech hubs, and to some growing locations that are taking advantage of the boom.
Oct/Nov 08
While data centers continue to be built all across the country, they are not without their challenges, namely operating costs and power demand. According to a survey conducted by AFCOM, the leading association for data center professionals, more than half of all data centers will have to relocate to new facilities or outsource applications by 2010. The key factor for this is the cost of cooling and power. Respondents to the survey also reported that insufficient power and excessive heat were two of the biggest problems facing data center operations, with 80 percent of AFCOM members acknowledging a power failure at their center within the last five years, most caused by power outages.
"Some of these large data centers have huge energy demands and tend toward locations with least-cost electricity, like areas with hydroelectric-generated electricity or nuclear-generated electricity," says Buzz Canup, managing principal for Fluor Global Location Strategies.
The Boyd Company, a site selection firm located in Princeton, New Jersey, compares the cost of operating data centers in 45 U.S. cities in its 2008 report Banking and Financial Services: A Comparative Cost Analysis for Information Assurance Operations. Their conclusion: The most expensive city in which to run a data center is in New York City, where operating a 125,000-square-foot center runs $28.1 million. The least expensive city is Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where the cost to operate a 125,000 square-foot center runs $11.2 million. Perhaps this is the reason that ADP, HSBC, and Wells Fargo all have data centers located in Sioux Falls.
Biotechnology and Life Sciences
According to BIO, the world's largest biotechnology organization, biotechnology has created more than 200 new therapies and vaccines over the past few years, including products to treat breast cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and autoimmune disorders. There are more than 400 biotech drug products and vaccines currently in clinical trials.
As of 2006, there were 1,452 biotechnology companies in the United States, of which 336 were publicly held. The market capitalization of these publicly traded companies was $360 billion as of April 2008. So great is the field that healthcare biotech revenues alone rose from $8 billion in 1992 to $58.8 billion in 2006. U.S. publicly traded biotech companies spent $27.1 billion on research and development in 2006 and employed 180,000 people, according to BIO.
The top 10 states for biotech in the United States, according to the Battelle/BIO study Growing the Nation's Biotech Sector, are New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Florida, California, Massachusetts, and Missouri. Also emerging as biotech hotspots are Georgia, Maryland, and Texas.
Green Technologies
On December 19, 2007, President George W. Bush signed into law the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007. The key factor in this legislation was an expansion of the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS), first enacted into law as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This expansion requires the use of 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels annually by 2022, of which 21 billion gallons must come from advanced biofuels; additionally, 16 billion gallons must come from cellulosic ethanol by 2022.
All of this is great news for those companies involved in the production of ethanol, solar, wind, and other alternative energy sources. "A lot of alternative energy sources are in the early stages of development," says Canup. "It's not a huge market right now, but it's certainly going to develop into a huge market pretty quickly." The numbers certainly bear this out. According to Ethanol Across America, a nonprofit, non-partisan education campaign of the Clean Fuels Foundation, by late 2007, 125 U.S. plants had produced seven billion gallons of ethanol annually, with another 80 plants under construction. This has led more than 100 communities in the United States to build ethanol plants.
According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, as of 2005, the ethanol industry has added more than $25 billion to the nation's gross economic output, through operating spending and capital spending for new plants; it has supported more than 147,000 jobs across all sectors of the economy; and $4.4 billion went directly to consumers this past year through increased economic activity and new jobs. In fact, the General Accounting Office reports that a 50 percent decline in ethanol production would cost the U.S. Treasury $3.2 billion annually.
Solar power has also exploded in Europe, Japan, and the United States. According to the Global Solar Center, for the past 15 years, market demand for solar power has grown 30 percent per year. The U.S. solar market increased 57 percent in 2007 and is expected to skyrocket in 2008. The United States is the fourth-largest market for solar power behind Germany, Spain, and Japan, with California controlling 80 percent of the U.S. solar market.
The photovoltaic industry generated $17.2 billion in global revenues in 2007. A report by the European Photovoltaic Industry Association and Greenpeace reports that solar energy could generate 2.5 percent of the world's electricity and fulfill the annual output from 150 coal-fired power plants by 2025. The report also stated that photovoltaic systems, which convert solar light energy into power, now generate 0.05 percent of world electricity and could rise to 2.5 percent in 2025 and 16 percent in 2040.
As high-tech industries continue to grow throughout the United States, more locations will have opportunities to join the growing list of hotspots. Those that can meet the needs of companies seeking low costs, educated employees, and highly desirable quality-of-life offerings will see the most success.
