Hormel Foods: A Star in the Prepared Foods Business
I've interviewed some CEOs who took people's breath away by firing them or by running the company they led into the ground. Cramer was speaking of great CEOs who "take your breath away" by making brilliant calls and prescient decisions.
One that he singled out, Jeff Ettinger, is the CEO of Hormel Foods (HRL) . Early on Jan. 4, HRL was upgraded to Outperform from Underperform by CLSA to reflect Hormel's recent acquisition of the Skippy peanut butter business from U.K.-based Unilever (UL) , another smartly led company.
CLSA said the acquisition of the famous brand label peanut butter diversifies Hormel's U.S. portfolio and increases its emerging market exposure. The price target was lifted to $37 from $32. UL, which already has a broad and diversified product line, needed the cash to help support its total debt load and to sustain its generous 3.2% dividend, which represents a 65% payout ratio.
Zacks Equity Research offered the following: "Introduced in 1932, Skippy holds the second largest market share in the US for natural peanut butter category, offering as many as 11 varieties of shelf-stable peanut butter products. In the US, peanut butter accounts for businesses amounting to $2 billion and is the second most popular sandwich spread after ham.
"The product line has a presence in over 30 countries spreading over five continents around the globe. Consequently, the acquisition is likely to be accretive with immediate effect
This important acquisition was priced at $700 million and is subject to regulatory approvals. According to Zacks, "The total annual sales from Skippy are estimated to be $370 million out of which $100 million is expected from countries outside the US."
This move by Hormel and its CEO is seen as a proactive step to expand its product portfolio in view of increasing raw material costs and the apparent slowing in demand of its main products such as meat. If you'll excuse the pun, anyway you slice it this transaction should fall right to HRL's bottom line.
Jim Cramer and Stephanie Link actively manage a real money portfolio for his charitable trust- enjoy advance notice of every trade, full access to the portfolio, and deep coverage of the latest economic events and market movements.
Cramer wrote regarding Hormel's decision, "The company will now dominate lunch, particularly the-bring-your-own-lunch contingent -- perfect for a country where the average worker is making less and less each year. Hormel is the player in ham, the No. 1 sandwich meat; this buyout will now make it the No. 2 player in peanut butter, the second-most-favored sandwich. It's incredible how smart that is."

Sabin's research on Dengue was mentioned in a New York Times article.
Infection with one strain of the dengue virus gives people protection against the other three strains for about two years, a new biostatistics study has found.
That information should help researchers trying to develop vaccines against the mosquito-borne virus, which is nicknamed "break-bone fever" for the joint pain it causes.

Kazakhstan Receives Russian Mi-171E
Russian Helicopters has handed over an Mi-171E to the Kazakhstan Ministry of Internal Affairs for routine patrol and search and rescue (SAR) missions. The ministry also uses the Mi-171E to transport personnel and cargo, and prefers the helicopter because of its ability to transport large numbers of people, along with different configurations. Under Russian Helicopters' contract with the ministry, Kazakhstan pilots are currently receiving theoretical and practical training at the company's Ulan-Ude plant.

Heroes come in all sizesPosted Friday, July 27, 2012, at 3:25 PM
It was 1995, we were living in Birmingham, Ala., and it was nearing my forty-ninth birthday. My good friend had a little Shi Tzu named Prissy, and trust me, she lived up to her name. Since we lived away from our grandchildren and no little ones around, I decided I wanted a puppy.
My friend and I began a search to decide which breed would be best for me. I decided on a Maltese.
We found a lady in Selma, Ala., who raised Maltese and had a new litter at the time. As I was talking with her, I told her I wanted one with a good personality and not one who would just lie around all the time. I know that was a pretty tall order, as you never know what animals or humans will turn out to be. She told me about one little girl who was the rowdiest of all. She was the one I chose.
She was still too young for us to pick up, so I waited. Very impatiently I might add. Other than pictures, I had never seen a Maltese, so I began learning all I could about them. The more I read, the more impatient I became. I was so excited about bringing her home.
At last the day came. She was ready for her new home and we were ready for her. We left Birmingham one morning and drove to Selma to pick up our new 'baby'. It was love at first sight, both for her and for us.
Such a tiny ball of snow white fur, little pink paws, and such a cute little pink tongue. Her beautiful tail curled over her back in such a majestic position. Oh, those eyes! Big, round, and, brown. When she looked at us, our hearts melted. That baby never one time ever whimpered from the day we took her from her family. She immediately accepted us as we did her.
She was my forty-ninth birthday gift from Collin and what a special one.
Shortly after she came to us, we learned my daughter was pregnant and would have our last grandchild. I often tease Logan, that if we knew we were going to have him, we would never have had "Tiki". That was the name I chose for her. I must say, we were very happy to have both.
Tiki became everything to all of us. She was a playmate, she was company. She possibly may have saved our lives one night as two guys were climbing up our outside balcony to get in our home. She woke us all up and we were able to scare them away. Of course that is a story within itself.
When Collin became very sick she probably helped keep me from going insane. Seems as though he never went to the hospital for just overnight or a day. He would be in for days and surgery after surgery. He would be so bad that he couldn't get out of bed for weeks. Night after night and time after time I would sit and feel so alone while he was recuperating.
Who was sitting right beside me? My little Tiki. She would love on me and snuggle close.
Her eyes would seemingly say, "All is going to be okay." She would go to the bedroom and sit by Collin for hours. When he went to the bathroom, she would lie outside the door until he came out.
She became such a part of our family in a way that only other pet owners can understand.
The time came when she became sick. Her hair was no longer beautiful, her eyes were dim and sad. Old age had set in along with all its nemesis. We knew the time would soon come when we would have to make a decision and come it did. Much quicker than we wanted.
The decision was made with the understanding I would not be a part of it. Collin and my girls took on the responsibility that I was not able to do.
Tiki went to Doggie Heaven in Nov., 2009, and we still miss her like crazy every day.
Sometimes if I see a puff of white I think it is her; or if I drop a piece of food I think she will come running to pick it up. I sometimes, momentarily, think she will be waiting for me at the door.
Yes, we do miss her and should we decide to choose another pet, she will never take Tiki's place. She will give her own joy to us in her own way. I already have her name picked out, just don't know where she is yet.
Our little Tiki is my heroine this week for helping me through so many tough times and all the joy she brought to our lives.
See ya next time somewhere in a korner.

Even though stereoscopic 3D screens are expected to become popular in general sometimes in 2018, such screens are not projected to grow to be widely accepted on the market of personal computers, according to a forecast by DisplaySearch market research company. Apparently, consumer electronics will be the main consumer of stereo 3D displays.
DisplaySearch forecasts that the total stereoscopic 3D display market will grow from 0.7 million units and $902 million in revenues in 2008 to 196 million units and $22 billion in revenues in 2018, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38% for revenues and 75% for units. But while the number 196 million seems rather formidable, it does not mean that all screens around will be stereo 3D capable.
DisplaySearch forecasts the following:
- 3D-ready TVs will grow from 0.2 million units in 2009 to 64 million units in 2018. 3D-ready TV will be the largest application in terms of revenue in 2018 with $17 billion.
- Mobile phones will be the largest 3D display application on a unit shipment basis in 2018, with 71 million units with 3D capability.
- 3D-ready PC monitors will grow from 40 thousand units (0.02% penetration) in 2009 to 10 million (3.6% penetration) in 2018.
- 3D notebook PCs are forecast to grow from 66 thousand units (0.04% penetration) in 2009 to 17.7 million (3.2% penetration) in 2018.
As it can be observed, even in 2018 there will be only 27.7 million PC monitors with 3D capability installed, which will represent about 6% penetration.
According to the market research company, the largest screen size category for 3D display shipments will be 1"- 4.x", due to demand from mobile phone and digital camera/camcorder applications. The second largest size range will be 40" – 49", due to TV, public display and 40"+ monitor applications.
LCD will be the primary display technology used for 3D displays, as a result of its wide range of display applications ranging from small mobile phones to large public displays and TVs. Various eyewear will be necessary for most 3D applications for many years to come, due to the limitations of auto-stereoscopic (no glasses) technologies.
DisplaySearch forecasts there will be more than 7000 new 3D cinema screens installed in 2010 and an additional 9000 in 2011.

Community Garden plots available
NEW ULM – Twenty-six New Ulm Community Garden plots remain at the Putting Green EcoCenter.
"We are still looking for participants, and that is ok, as the weather is delaying us beginning garden preparation and tilling," said Putting Green Executive Director Tracie Vranich.
She said the 4-foot by 25-foot plots are recommended by Master Gardeners for their accessibility and improved efficiency instead of traditional garden plant rows.
Each participant can rent up to three 100-square-foot plots for $35 each per season. Tilling, water and tools are included.
Putting Green and MRCI WorkSource, the largest provider of community-based, supported employment in Minnesota, joined forces in 2007 to launch the Growing Green Minifarm, a community supported agriculture (CSA) project.
Goals of the project were to provide nutritious, locally-grown food; provide educational experiences including information on food choices for a healthier planet while employing adults with disabilities.
Last year, due to higher labor costs, a collaborative team decided to create the New Ulm Community Garden at Putting Green. Educational sessions and growing advice will be available from Master Gardeners and other area gardening experts. The Heart of New Ulm Project recently became part of the project.
A separate garden plot will be developed and managed by Putting Green staff and a college intern, along with volunteer garden participants. Produce from their plot will be donated to the New Ulm Area Food Shelf and families in need.
Vranich said there is capacity at Putting Green for 150 to 200 garden plots.
"We'd like to include younger and older people as Community Garden participants," Vranich said. "It can be a great learning experience, gets people active outside and allows them to learn where good food comes form."

text: Staff on January 19, 2012 1 Comment I think a good way to start this blog post series will be to explain some appliance terminology and what it all means. A short encyclopedia, if you will. This is not necessarily all in alphabetical order. I might get a little technical, but I'll try to apply the K.I.S.S. rule (keep it simple, stupid) wherever I can. Technology Compressor-Based System: An appliance that uses a compressor, or pump, with a closed refrigeration system, and uses a refrigerant to cool a particular space. This could be a refrigerator, wine cooler (some), kegerator or deep freezer. Common refrigerants include R134A and R410A, among others. Thermoelectric / TE: An appliance that uses electronics/electricity to cool a small space without the use of refrigerants. These typically consist of a cooling node (Peltier effect) and fans to distribute the air inside the cabinet and dissipate the heat to the outside. They are, for the most part, efficient, although there are a few drawbacks, especially if you are trying to build it into a cabinet. I'll delve into that in a later post, along with what exactly a Peltier unit is in simple terms. LED: Refers to a Light Emitting Diode, which is a commonly used electronic component. All diodes allow electricity to flow in one direction only. Think of it as a one way street, except this one glows when the electric flows. They are used for operation and mode indicators, and also for general lighting purposes. Sometimes they use different colors and are commonly used to highlight and display wines in wine coolers. Cooling Fans: This will mostly apply to thermoelectric, or TE, wine coolers. They do different jobs: some distribute the cooled air inside the cabinet or at the evaporator coil on compressor-based units, and others get rid of the hot air at the back of the cabinet or from the condenser coils on compressor-based units. Most of them consist of the same small DC-powered fans you find in your desktop computer. Product Descriptions Portable Dishwasher: This isn't the one your mom used to roll around the kitchen and store in a corner. These actually are small enough to sit on a countertop. These are really simple to install. Most come with two hoses, a drain and supply, and a quick connector to attach to a standard kitchen faucet, in place of the aerator. They are typically not meant for a permanent installation. They come in different sizes and capacities, also. Portable Air Conditioner: An alternative to the typical, window-mounted A/C unit. These usually have one hose used to exhaust out the hot air produced during the cooling process, though some will also have an intake hose. They are mounted on casters, so they can be moved room to room. Most will evaporate the majority, if not all, of the water produced in the exhaust air, but if they don't get rid of all of it, they will usually have a drain at the bottom of the unit to get rid of the collected water. Portable air conditioners usually will require a 15 amp circuit to run properly, although there are some that require 20 amps or more. Most will come with a window fitting kit that is easily assembled, as they have to be vented to the outside of the room being cooled in most cases. Portable Ice Maker: An ice maker that is small enough to sit on a counter, produces 6-12 cubes at a time, uses a self-contained water supply and storage for the ice after the cycle is complete. These are not high volume units. Typically, they will not refrigerate the ice and it will melt back into the water tank to start the process over yet again. I recommend moving each batch of ice out of the ice maker and into your regular freezer. Kegerator: A refrigerated appliance used to keep beer cold and dispense beer. Usually has a connected tower and faucet, with dispenser head to pour the beer and on board CO2 storage to pressurize the beer. They also usually have casters for portability and can be used with multiple beers of your choice, sometimes more than one keg can be used (called a dual tap kegerator). Some kegerators are much smaller and utilize a 5 liter mini keg. These are fairly new on the market. The larger kegerators fit a half shell sankey keg, or Cornelius keg. Some of the mini keg 5 liter units will run on 12V DC and are popular with tailgaters. Portable Freezer / Refrigerator: These are unique, as they can be used in a vehicle, or boat, or while camping and for emergency uses. Some use compressor-based refrigeration, while others use TE technology. A TE unit typically will not be able to refrigerate to freezing or below, and they will usually be good for 40 degrees F below the ambient temperature around the unit. Think short term storage, like trips to the grocery store. The compressor-based units are infinitely more flexible, allowing for -0 degrees F operation, up through 50+ degrees F, in most cases. Both can be operated from 12V DC and 120V AC, depending on the model. Each type has their pluses and minuses and I will cover those later. Personally, I like them both! Wine Cooler: These come in a wide variety of sizes and capacities. The same can be said for the refrigeration system used. While they have a large temperature range to work with, the TE models generally will hold wines from 45 degrees F-65 degrees F, depending on the ambient temperature of the room they are located in. A compressor-based unit will usually hold wines at 40 degrees F or less, and can be built into a cabinet, as the condenser coil and fan is at the bottom front of the unit. One thing to remember with wine coolers in general: They are designed for long term STORAGE, not drinkability, and that applies to TE units in particular. Again, that is a general guideline, so YMMV, or Your Mileage May Vary. (I love acronyms, don't you?) Til next time! Dave Previous Post: What is a small appliance, anyway?

I have Element Active Pickups installed in three of my instruments: Larrivee OM-1, Larrivee L-9, and Trinity College Bouzouki. I run them all through a Para DI and then into a microphone channel on the board. My settings are as follows: Element Active volume control, all the way up. Para DI input gain, almost all the way down. Para DI output volume at about 1/2. The input gain on the board channel, all the way down.
In general, I am happy with the sound. But I have the same issue with all three, to some degree. I play fairly hard and often hear what I think is breaking up, or distortion in the signal. And a few times sound engineers at venues have asked me to reduce the signal because the guitar is breaking up.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Is it just a natural consequence of playing aggressively on an acoustic guitar with an Element Active installed?
Anyone else out there experience this?

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: The Fed Made the Right Call
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Federal Reserve signaled it's staying the course and you should, too, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Wednesday as he responded to the Fed's decision to leave interest rates alone and not repeat history.
Cramer said there's no denying that some parts of the U.S. economy, such as retail and housing, are heating up in a big way. But as Caterpillar
So why would Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke risk raising interest rates when clearly the economy isn't completely back on its feet? Add to that the looming sequester, which promises to lay off thousands of government workers, and it's easy to see why Bernanke has chosen to be cautious, Cramer said.
But more than that, Bernanke is a student of history and is attuned to the mistakes made in 1937, when the government threw our post-Depression economy back into recession by jumping the gun on increasing taxes and interest rates. That recession, he noted, was only stemmed by World War II.
Add it all together and, Cramer said, it is easy to see why Bernanke has chosen to stay stock market-friendly and why his public goal of not raising rates until unemployment hits 6.5% may well remain in effect until, well, it does indeed hit 6.5%.
That's why Cramer remains bullish on the sectors that are working, mainly the regional banks along with retail and tech, while advising investors to avoid manufacturing and anything that exports to the rest of the world.
Executive Decision: Ken Powell
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Ken Powell, chairman and CEO of food giant General Mills
Powell said last year General Mills was faced with high food inflation and a consumer who wasn't buying a lot. This year, inflation is moderate and the economy is doing better, both of which have led General Mills to prosper. He said his company plans on continuing its marketing efforts and growing its advertising in line with its sales growth.

Princess Stephanie's Astrapia
Princess Stephanie's Astrapia, Astrapia stephaniae, also known as Stephanie's Astrapia, is a medium-sized, approximately 37 cm long, black bird of paradise with an iridescent blue-green and purple head, silky plumage below and two very long, broad purplish-black central tail feathers. The female is a dark brown bird with a bluish-black head and black-barred cinnamon-brown underparts. Hybrids between this species and the Ribbon-tailed Astrapia, in the small area where their ranges overlap, have been named Barnes' Astrapia.
Princess Stephanie's Astrapia was discovered by Carl Hunstein in 1884. It is endemic to the mountain forests in central and eastern Papua New Guinea.
It was named in honor of Princess Stéphanie of Belgium, the wife of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria, who was commemorated by the Blue Bird of Paradise.
A common species throughout its range, Princess Stephanie's Astrapia is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is listed on Appendix II of CITES.
- BirdLife International (2004). Astrapia stephaniae. 2006. IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. IUCN 2006. www.iucnredlist.org. Retrieved on 12 May 2006. Database entry includes justification for why this species is of least concern

But yes my correction it was two different obnoxious board member LSU fans that jumped on me and couldn't believe i said the beloved QB mettsiahs' play would not be better.
If you got a problem with something I've said then quote me, but don't lump me in with someone else that you hate on just b/c we are from the same State.
Quote me, don't paraphrase.
Jacob is right on this one. Saban said on the post game show when he was interviewed that this team was the biggest group of overchievers, and the least talented NC team he had been associated with. There's nothing wrong with that. Their sucess was not becuase they are the most talented - it's becuase they believed in the process, and committed to the process and had great TEAM chemistry. Or, as someone once said, they believed in themselves, had dedication and pride, never quit. The price was high. So was the reward.

Reaching New Heights: ELLE DECOR's Designer Visions Showhouse
The homeowners of a once pedestrian, now chic yet understated house in Aspen, Colorado, are unconditional fans of Paris-based decorator Caroline Sarkozy. "We love everything about her style," the wife raves. "It's classic but modern, comfortable and warm without being fussy. And we like that our house doesn't feel like a clinic. We're not keen on everything being bare and spare." Sarkozy herself attributes her eclectic aesthetic to her nomadic childhood. Although she was born in Paris and is half-sister to the former French president, her upbringing took a global route when her mother, Christine de Ganay, married American diplomat Frank G. Wisner, who has served as the U.S. ambassador to Zambia, Egypt, the Philippines, and India.
The clients have a similarly international profile. The husband was born in Iran and raised in England; his wife is Swedish. They were drawn to Aspen not simply by the allure of winter sports but for the sunny, culturally rich summer months, a highlight of which is the season-long Aspen Music Festival. "I've never been to a place that offers so many things," she says. "There's music every day, everywhere. There's hiking, fishing, and biking. Plus, if you want Prada and Gucci and Nobu, you have that too."
In the entry, an 1880 Belgian table, a 1940s Kaare Klint sofa, and a 1937 Josef Frank cabinet found at Christie's; the staircase is made of antique oak, and the floor is paved with Belgian bluestone.

If you are a food lover like me, I am certain you love spring. I love spring because nature is in bloom, the best surf season begins, and many of my favorite fruits and veggies are ready to be savored. It has become a spring tradition of mine, to visit our kitchens quite frequently, as I am trying to see (and taste) what our Chef is preparing for the seasonal spring menu in our restaurants at Capella Ixtapa.
This year, one of my favorite new dishes is this Red Fruit and Vanilla Salad, which we have on our spring menu of romantic dinners. I love it because in one dish it combines some of my favorite flavors, it is healthy, and beautiful, perfect to serve at spring garden parties and barbecues. I enjoy having it by the pool, savoring it slowly while looking out across the ocean. Chef Miguel recommends pairing it with a sparkling lemonade or glass of fresh white wine. I love this salad so much, that Chef Miguel sent me home with the recipe, and he was pleased that I wanted to share it with you as well. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Red Fruit And Vanilla Salad
– Sangria Lettuce
– Italian Chicory
– French Lettuce
– Romaine Lettuce
– Strawberries
– Blueberries
– Blackberries
– Fresh Mozzarella cheese
– Caramelized walnuts
– Red fruit compote (see preparation below f or use your favorite from the store)
– Vanilla Vinaigrette (see preparation below or find it in a delicatessen stores)
– Clean and chop the lettuce in chunks.
– Cut the strawberries into fourths.
– Slice the Mozarella cheese.
– Chop the caramelized nuts.
– Inside a bowl, dress the lettuce with the Vanilla Vinaigrette, season with sea salt and pepper.
– Insert layers of the mix of lettuce and cheese slices.
– On top of the cheese place a bit of the compote and the red fruits.
– Sprinkle caramelized walnuts on top of the lettuce mix.
– Garnish with Red Fruit Compote and enjoy!
Red Fruit Compote: clean and chop a mix of your favorite berries, for example blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, simmer them in a pan with sugar as desired, vanilla pod and lemon juice, until you achieve a thick consistency. Let it cool down and reserve.
What are your favorite dishes to enjoy in Springtime? Share them with me in the comments below.

Here's how RW members rated this race (1044 votes).
In short: First time marathon! First time competitive race! Am converted!In full: What a great race, the supporters and volunteers definitely made it! They were so lovely and supportive and gave up the morning to cheer us on and puck up and hand out drinks. These stations definitely broke up the race and toilet facilities were super too! The stadium finish was a brilliant atmosphere and the setup for after the race which meant you were lead through medals, goodie bags and photos helped me not to collapse!! This was a brilliantly organised race and a great personal achievement for me, a first time marathon runner. Will be signing up for next year!!Date of review: October 10, 2011
In short: Very well organised, great course in a lovely city - maybe a little more undulating than I'd hoped, In full: The start and finish at the race course were great, made for a really good finish atmosphere. In general the support on the course was great, although we only ran through small villages it seemed like most of the population had turned out at many of them. Again the support in the last mile along the river was a great lifter - helped by having names on numbers. I can't fault the organisation, with some nice touches: Names on Numbers, baggage tag on number, good "elite" facilities. Water and drinks stations aplenty on the course. I did say "never again", but if I were to do another marathon Chester would definitely be near the top of the listDate of review: October 10, 2011
In short: Great organisation, great atmosphere, a great raceIn full: This was my third marathon and I did my slowest time, however it was the one that I have enjoyed the most. The organisation was excellent, with the regular water stations breaking up the distance at perfect intervals. And thank you for all the portaloos which meant I could stop worrying about needing them, as I knew there were plenty en-route when I needed one. The support from those manning the stations was a real boost especially towards the end when the pain starts to kick in. Locals were another great boost with lots of support outside individual houses and especially in the villages. The best bit was having our names on our bibs which made the support from the sidelines even better and more personal - having someone shout your name as you run past made it all feel really special and put a smile on my face every time, especially in the last few miles. The race wasn't quite as flat as I had anticipated but overall an excellent race and one I would recommend to every runner. Well done organisers and thank you to everyone who helped and supported the race in any way.Date of review: October 10, 2011
In short: Incredibly well organised race, lovely course and superb grandstand finish at the racecourse.Date of review: October 10, 2011
In short: Great organisation and support made the pain of last few miles bearable!In full: Didn't get the time I hoped for and was in a fair amount of pain from 18m onwards but the great support and organisation meant I still had a great day. Marshalls and volunteers were FANTASTIC - kept encouraging me all the way and the names on the race numbers was a great idea. Really enjoyed the whole race even though it was painful! The support at the finish was awesome and really made my day. Great organisation throughout and at the finish too - would definitely recommend this race. Am tempted to enter 2012 race already but my legs aren't convinced just yet ;-)Date of review: October 10, 2011
In short: My first Marathon and would definitly do it againDate of review: October 10, 2011
In short: Fabulous start & finish @ the race course. First class organisation - plenty of staff on . Deserves to be a must do marathonIn full: My 1st full marathon and as chosen for route and location . Did not disappoint - great idea using the race course, very inspirational. Nice 2 go through the city & crowds countryside & back again. Water stations & support wee brilliant. Which generated a super overall atmosphere. Ok , the course was not pancake flat - but the other positives far outweighed.Can seeDate of review: October 10, 2011
In short: A great course with enthusiastic Spectators, well organised In full: A strange course this one, its city based with a few villages to run too before you run back to the city. Also you get to take in two countries. Brilliantly organised with great PB potential for the more focused club runner but still enough fun to be had for the runner like myself that went from a target of 4-30 to "please god let me finish" This was my first marathon and all I can say is that I am so so so glad I chose Chester. Well done to all the organisers, it went like clockwork from the start to the end. Date of review: October 10, 2011
In short: Deserves to be one of the bestDate of review: October 9, 2011

Mark your calendars and set your reminders! Bullseye Bill will be with us this coming Wednesday night @ 8:00 CDT to give us a short course in Mead making.
Bill says that he should be able to sum up the very basic concept of Mead making in about 15 minutes, and plans to give it to us in layman's terms so that even us that have problems counting all of our fingers and toes together at the same time can figure it out.
As soon as he finishes up, the floor will be open for some questions from the gallery. We'll try to keep it on topic for at least a half hour for the folks interested in the subject. If it goes on for hours, that'll be perfectly fine. I expect Bill to be entertaining at the very least!!!
Yaw be sure an designate a driver!!!!

text: Brown University neuroengineers have developed a wireless, fully implantable brain sensor that functions as a brain-machine interface. The rechargeable sensor is a pill-shaped chip consisting of electrodes that are implanted on the cortex. It can communicate signals in real-time from 100 neurons to a titanium box that houses a signal processing system for the sensor system. Inside the box is a lithium ion battery, ultralow-power integrated circuits for signal processing and conversion, a wireless radio, infrared transmitters, and a copper coil for inductive recharging. The researchers have tested the sensor in six animal subjects for more than a year. Regulators haven't approved it for use in humans yet, but researchers say they hope this will occur eventually for clinical trials involving people with movement-related disabilities. Brain-machine interfaces could help individuals with severe paralysis, for example, by letting them control devices—including assistive robotic arms—with their thoughts. The engineers are presenting their sensor at the 2013 International Workshop on Clinical Brain-Machine Interface Systems in Houston and publishing their work in the Journal of Neural Engineering.

Regardless, it's great that the idea is now out there and not just us pizza freaks
How about 1/4" steel on top of a baking stone?
Whaddaya say Scott? Wanna get some quotes outta China? Or get a prototype made?
Steel is not a magical material that automatically bakes superior pizza. 1/2" steel, in certain settings (electric, 550 deg.) can't be beat, but 1/4" steel is only feasible for a small portion of oven owners. 1/4" steel is a bad idea. It was bad when Nathan and Chris included it in the advertising for Modernist Cuisine and it continues to be bad. When bad ideas get propagated, it's anything but great.
Graphite adhesive would take care of that gapping problem. I can see 1/4" or 1/8" warping, and lamination seems to be the way to go.
I don't think 1/4" would warp at 600-700. It would need to be cut with a water jet and not a plasma torch though. Why not use some small stainless bolts and just bolt them together? I would think 4 would be plenty.
Actually, I just shot off an email to a Chinese kiln shelf manufacturer last night.A lot of the members in that part of the world say some pretty disparaging things about Chinese manufacturer's commitment to quality and safety. I'm going to see if they'll test their shelves for heavy metals before I commit to buying anything, but it's a long shot.Adam, if you're worried about remnant nastiness on sanded down to the bare metal steel, you shouldn't be going anywhere near Chinese kiln shelves of unknown origin. Unless you're talking about combining two domestic materials.This is pretty wild conjecture, but I kind of like the idea of aluminum powder mixed with tin powder. At pizza baking temps, the tin would melt, but there would be enough aluminum to keep it from flowing- kind of like a milk and confectioner's sugar icing. Just think pizza stone Oreo I'm also not completely giving up on plain old crushed pencil lead. That stuff is complete non toxic.
Gene, I don't think any of the materials we're looking at are at a risk of warping at the temps we're baking at. What I'm thinking about is any potential unevenness from the factory.It just occurred to me that the two materials could have varying rates of thermal expansion. Bolts might not be friendly in that regard. Just to be safe, I think the thermal compound should have some flexibility.
IDK about the oreo adhesive... why not use something that has been already used for the application? Simple is better...
What happened to the guy that used to be here that made the kiln shelves?
I think this product has been mentioned before on another thread...
I'm going to see if they'll test their shelves for heavy metals before I commit to buying anything, but it's a long shot.
How hot the 1/2" steel plate get? and how long it takes to reach taht temp?

Hey, we got the pictures and they look great. We all had a lot of fun and it was a highlight of our vacation. All of us have stated to take some scubadiving lessons because we loved it so much. Thanks for everything and keep up the good work. We told all of our friends about it and hopefully they have a chance to try it as well. We will definity be posting a forum and checking out your website. Sorry about the slow reply. Thanks again.
Kurtis, Dave & Bryan ~ Farmington, MA
Thanks so much for the photos of our snuba experience. What a great time. You and the crew were wonderful. Thank you for everything. You explained everything and answered all our questions and concerns, and an awesome time was had by all. You were all very knowledgable in all aspects of our snuba experience. We had a great time and are still talking about it! Thanks again.
D. Fellin ~ Waupun, WI
This was by far THE most fun we have had on an excursion! The snuba experience was one in a million! These folks know how to treat you right! We had a blast on the boat! Jose, Juan, Eduardo and one more guy...can't think of his name... our hats off to you for making our day a blast! Watch out for those Tequila shots!! Thanks for a fantastic memory!
Lynn V. ~ Shreveport Louisiana
Snuba in Cozumel is a * * * * * experience. There is so much more to Mexico than beaches and cocktails, and snuba is one great water activity to try out. Better than snorkeling, (better than chocolate too), and very easy, especially for those who are a bit intimidated by the scuba diving equipment and training involved, snuba is a great way to see the marine life close-up.
The guys at Mayan Paradise Tours explain everything in detail, and make snuba diving easy and interesting.They were a fun bunch of people to spend a half-day of my vacation with! Cheers.
Lumi ~ Chicago, IL
If you are visiting the Cozumel area you have to go on a Mayan Paradise Tour. Our Snuba and snorkelling adventure was the highlight of our week in Cozumel. We saw more fish and beautiful coral then we saw on our visit to the Great Barrier Reef. Our guides were terrific - very thorough, fun and energetic. Our trip back to the dock was a blast. We recommend this dventure to anyone vacationing the Cozumel area.

TRENTON, N.J.—A team of students from Ewing High School took the top honor at the 2010 Mercer County Consumer Bowl, beating out eight other area high schools in a quiz-show style competition on good consumer practices.
The annual Consumer Bowl pits teams from various local high schools against one another to test their knowledge on being a smart shopper.
Ewing won this year's competition, which was held by the Mercer County Division of Consumer Affairs on March 17 at the Infinity Restaurant (formerly Roman Hall) in Trenton. Other schools that participated were: Trenton Central High School, Nottingham High School (Hamilton); West Windsor Plainsboro North; West Windsor Plainsboro South; Hightstown High School; Steinert High School (Hamilton); Robbinsville High School; and Lawrence High School.
Ewing High School will go on to compete at the Regional Consumer Bowl in Monmouth County on April 13.
The Consumer Bowl was created by the Mercer County Division of Consumer Affairs in 1994 as a way to encourage students to become smarter consumers, to be wary of scams and unfair business practices, and to be knowledgeable when obtaining services like home improvements or buying products such as vehicles or appliances.
The Mercer County office handles complaints from individual consumers against local businesses. It protects Mercer County residents from fraudulent and unconscionable business practices. It also provides consumer counseling and complaint resolution services to approximately 350,000 Mercer County residents. While its jurisdiction is most Mercer County businesses, it provides a referral service to assist all Mercer County consumers. In contrast to the Better Business Bureau, which charges a fee for consumers to file a complaint and has no legal authority or power, the Mercer County Division of Consumer Affairs never charges a fee for any service rendered to consumers. The Division of Consumer Affairs can be reached at (609) 989-6046.

Last week, a colleague asked for a dessert recipe for her book club.� Reading a book about World War II, she needed something from that period in history.� I love the idea of matching the food to the book.� It kind of centers the discussion.
How I envy that!� I've belonged to two book clubs in my life.� The first started out with a bang.� We read "Under the Tuscan Sun" and everyone brought a recipe from the book.� We set up outdoors, set the table in the colors of the Tuscan countryside complete with bouquets of sunflowers.� We talked for hours in the August sunshine and had a wonderful time.� Then we picked a new book and met again.� I guess nothing could live up to that first, magical meeting. By the time we met, we had moved the date of the meeting so often that it was late fall and rainy. Only a few had read the book and the talk veered way off course.� We never met again.
My second book club chose a book, chose a date and rescheduled.� Rescheduled again.� And again.� We have still not met.
Here's the dessert recipe I recommended to my colleague.� At first glance, it doesn't seem delicious, but read the ingredients and it shows itself to be an innovative version of a spice cake. � It was originally a product of the Great Depression, but lasted through World War II when home cooks saved their rations for something special.� In the absence of ingredients, this cake was originally topped with a light scattering of powdered sugar.� Later, it was revived and topped with cream cheese frosting.� And now, I've heard, but have not yet tried, a revival as a cupcake.� Wow!� This one has staying power.
Makes a 2-layer cake
2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/3 cups sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
a 10-3/4 ounce can tomato soup
1/2 cup shortening
2 large eggs
1/4 cup water
�Preheat oven to 350 degrees.� Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans, shaking out any excess flour. �In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, and cloves.� Add the soup, shortening, eggs, and water.� Beat together into a smooth batter.� Pour into cake pans. �Bake, 35 to 40 minutes.� The cake is done when the tester (a toothpick or a thin skewer) comes out clean after piercing into the center. �Cool the cakes in their pans on a wire rack, 10 minutes.� Remove the cakes from the pans; and finish cooling on wire racks for 2 hours before frosting them with your favorite cream cheese frosting.

Just finally got caught up watching the final episodes of "The Next Iron Chef". Absolutely awesome work by Michael Symon, one of our very own from here in CTown, he of Lola and Lolita ... two great restaurants downtown.
Symon defeated LA chef John Besh in the final in Kitchen Stadium, with swordfish as the secret ingredient. It was a great finale. They actually had Iron Chefs Morimoto, Flay, and Cora do the tastings and join the judging panel. Besh got a little bold ... Morimoto joked that he wanted to see the chefs produce a swordfish desert. Besh took it as a challenge, and made a desert that the judges didn't care for too much, which kinda cost him.
Symon is now an Iron Chef, cementing his reputation as one of the greatest chefs in the world. And I can get in my car and drive 20 min and eat his creations.
If anyone out there has never seen the Iron Chef show, its pretty sweet. They unveil one main ingredient. And the chefs have 60 minutes in a stadium set up right next to one another to use that ingredient and incorporate it into six different courses of a meal.
The show is a big deal. Has been one of the top rated shows in Japan since the early 90s. Food Network picked it up, eventually spun off "Iron Chef America", pitting our countries top chefs against one another.
This competition was to crown a new Iron Chef, who challengers will take on in future shows. Symon winning is a really cool thing for Cleveland.

Anyone see this? I was too young to appreciate the guy but when you and Lou and Lou Gehrig are the only two players for whom the 5-year waiting period for HoF induction is waived, that should speak volumes.
I think Monday/Tuesday was the 40th anniversary of Clemente's death. And the Neil Walker tie in is kind of spooky.

Nice, Cliff!
Although he's no longer my favorite Met, I thought I'd give a shout out to Cliff Floyd, whose 2-run homer yesterday may very well have won the Cubs the game…if not for…
The game was postponed and will be finished today.
Rain played Cliff Floyd.
Hate rain.
Update: Vindication for Cliffy as the Cubs win that game by 2 runs.

I am an old hand at body cleansing and detox. This doc seems to make everything far too complicated but then, I have been following principles of food combining for 30 something years (a major source of toxic leftovers) and my colon is cleansed about every month or so and yes, I drive a car and so get some of those heavy metals from the air around me. Probably the most important place where I have consistently protected myself is to avoid all fast food, avoid all over the counter cosmetics and sundry drugs for colds, digestive upset, etc. I also do not go to doctors and therefore have not been toxified by their pharmaceuticals. And I have a very strong genetic heritage. S0o, along with good advice, it is important to make wise choices...doctors could direct some of these choices.

Silver Creek hears plans for elementary students
SILVER CREEK – Silver Creek Elementary School Principal Scott Rudnicki started off the board of education meeting by presenting on the comprehensive school education plan for the elementary school.
One of the main focuses of Rudnicki's presentation was the introduction of the state common core learning standards into teacher's curriculum.
"The biggest thing is timing. The time frame is what is stressful for the teachers because it is already May and the state has yet to release all the information," he said.
He said even though the state has changed the curriculum several times since coming out with it last June, teachers feedback has still been positive.
He said the district is still waiting on some content and skills from the state, but a curriculum map is "ever changing" based on what the state releases.
Rudnicki said the focus so far this year has been mainly on professional development to get teachers up to speed on the changes. He said in the near future the district will align its resources to the new curriculum, bring the Seneca Nation into the new curriculum, develop new report cards based on the new skills and curriculum and maintain the new open house format of a presentation on changes in the school.
He said the positive intervention and support system implemented in the cafeteria is working well where a class works toward winning low- or no-cost incentives like pizza or hot dogs in the park. He said the character education program is also going well.
He said it is a goal to have both these programs under the control of the Shared Decision Making Team, a group including Rudnicki as well as teachers, students and parents, which will tweak programs as needed.
The board also heard a presentation from High School Social Studies Teacher Thomas Buczkowski on a request for new textbooks. He said the current textbooks have a copyright date of 1998. He said this makes them dated in more ways than one.
"There is more of an emphasis now on writing and critical thinking," he said.
He added times have changed, where "homework" is more flexible and is more like classwork and also lessons are not about copying down notes but are more guided and interactive.
He said the request is for 35 textbooks to be used in class as a supplemental resource. He added the purchase would come with a one-year free subscription to the online text, which if it helped students with reading disabilities could be purchased later.
The final hearing of the budget was also presented. Nothing had changed since the last presentation with the total budget at $20.5 million, the tax levy at $5.6 million, a 2.7 percent increase, and the full-value tax rate at $17.76 per $1,000 assessed value, a $0.47 increase. Full budget details are available on the school's website silvercreek.wnyric.org. The budget vote will be held May 21 from 1 to 9 p.m. in the high school lobby. In addition to the budget there will also be propositions to expend $118,978 from the vehicle reserve on a bus purchase and create another vehicle reserve up to $850,000. Two school board seats are also up for election.
The next board of education meeting will be held May 22.

instituto exclusivo was founded by Anne Marie van Swinderen, in her words:
As a Dutch national moving around the world a lot, I have had to learn many languages. (8 foreign languages, in fact). So now I have a pretty good idea of how one can teach a foreign language to adults in a fun and efficient way.
When we moved to La Paz, Bolivia in 2005 there was no organized school of this kind, but several good teachers. Soon, we decided to start one with good facilities and a professional curriculum, and the i.e. (instituto exclusivo) was born.
After living in Angola, where internet speeds allow little more than receiving e-mails, it was a revolution to my life to have access to reasonably fast connections. Skyping family and friends was just amazing after years of isolation. The possibilities of internet telephony (e.g. Skype) just seemed too good an opportunity to ignore, and the instituto exclusivo focused on teaching online from the very beginning.
In our three years of existence, we have concentrated on developing special methodologies for teaching online. Of equal importance, we have developed a system to provide genuinely tailor-made courses to each of our students. Teachers have learned to assess new students, analyse their needs, and plan a programme accordingly, finding the materials and subject matter that is most appropriate for each individual.
The school offers a very good way for Bolivians to have interesting work which also provides sufficient income. So, if you take lessons you help us to grow and help some Bolivians to be able to stay in their own country. (Currently, some 2% of the population of this wonderful country emigrates each year to make a living in other countries).

Amy Scherzer's Diary

Governor's Luncheon at the Florida State Fair
Congratulations, Jim Shimberg Sr., Citizen of the Year, who was stunned when 2000 recipient Ted Couch read his biography to 850 savvy civic leaders at Monday's Governor's Luncheon at the Florida State Fair.
The attorney/developer prefers to fly under the radar, said Couch, who credited him for founding University Community Hospital, developing Town 'N Country Park and serving 25 years on the Judeo-Christian Health Clinic.
His greatest joy - his five kids and 15 grandkids - stayed hidden until the big surprise.
On Feb. 8, Iris Wall, 77, of Indiantown won over the opening day lunch crowd as 2006 Woman of the Year in Agriculture.
Her infectious laugh and love of "family, cows, horses and woods" left them wanting more of her so-called "Cracker tales."
Introducing her, Florida Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, a farm girl herself, noted agriculture brings $83-billion to Florida's economy, adding, "I'm preaching to the choir here."
Einstein on Wine: Decanting Relativity
Now here's a great science fair project: sampling 80 varieties of wine at the 12th annual Einstein on Wine benefit for the Museum of Science and Industry on Feb. 3.
Sponsors ABC Fine Wine & Spirits and BEAM (Be Enthusiastic About MOSI) members suggested merlot with lasagna from Buca di Beppo and paired chardonnay with chateaubriand prepared by MOSI's Catering crew.
Wholly Cats rocked the lobby as more than 1,500 tasters discovered 20 restaurant samplings among the exhibits.
Outside the front entrance, a lively street party sprung up around Busch Gardens' beer, Starbucks' cinnamon dolce latte and Thompson & Co. cigars.
Organizers netted more than $50,000 for education programs.
Tampa Jewish Federation's President's Dinner
A mix of 20 $50,000-and-up donors and their guests enjoyed a lively Q&A roundtable discussion with Gen. Colin Powell at Tampa Jewish Federation's fourth annual President's Dinner on Sunday.
Then 200 donors and sponsors at the $5,000-and-up level joined the 65th secretary of state for cocktails, before the rest of the 980 guests filled A La Carte Pavilion.
Powell spoke with refreshing candor for nearly an hour, touching on everything from his roots in the Bronx Jewish community where he learned Yiddish to U.S. relations with China to aging gracefully.
"He was so real," said Franci Rudolph, committee member.
Federation president Laura Kreitzer and chief executive officer Gary Gould presented the Tikkun Olam award, their version of a lifetime achievement honor, to Jack Roth.
Event co-chairs Deborah Rosenthal and Sharon Stein raised $220,000, in addition to the 2007 campaign commitments.
Celebrating Memories
Radio show host Michael Reagan, who does a spot-on imitation of his late father, spoke of growing up as the son of a governor and U.S. president at Celebrating a Lifetime of Memories.
The event on Feb. 6, which is Ronald Reagan's birthday and Florida Alzheimer's Awareness Day, was the first dinner benefit for the Johnnie B. Byrd Sr. Alzheimer's Center and Research Institute.
He wasn't close to his famous father for many years, Reagan told 280 guests at the Wyndham Westshore, including Republican heavy hitters Ralph Hughes, Lorena Jaeb and Sandy Murman.
They eventually expressed their love, and when Alzheimer's stole his father's memory, he knew his son only as "that guy who hugs me."
Emotions were high, when my colleague Ernest Hooper took the microphone.
His gut-wrenching interview with Connie Lesko, caregiver for her parents who both have Alzheimer's, segued to a plea for funds.
The $200-ticket dinner, featuring Charleene Closshey singing, dancing and playing her fiddle, raised more than $70,000.
Sam Gibbons was, of course, a longtime U.S. representative, not a senator. And the award-winning event design firm is called ConceptBAIT. My apologies for misidentifying them in last week's Diary.
Feb. 23: Fifth annual All Star Charity Gala benefits DeBartolo Family Foundation; 6:30 p.m.; A La Carte Pavilion.; $300; 964-8302.
Feb. 24: To Life, To Heroes, To Courage benefits Florida Holocaust Museum; dinner speaker Rwanda hotel manager Paul Ruesabagina, 6:30 p.m.; A La Carte Pavilion; $200; (727) 820-0100, ext. 243.
Feb. 24: Fourth annual Starry Nights benefits Mental Health Care Foundation; 7:30 p.m.; Tampa Club; $125; 272-2244, ext. 246.

If your cat has diarrhea, it may be a clinical sign of a more serious problem. Diarrhea is a very common condition caused by a variety of illnesses, therefore it is necessary to perform testing in order for veterinarians to diagnose exactly what's wrong.
Although it may be unpleasant, it's important for pet owners to pay close attention to their cat's feces when diarrhea occurs. There are several things cat owners need to look for in order to help veterinarians make an accurate diagnosis.
When examining the cat's stool, be sure to take note of the consistency - soft, hard or almost liquid. Note any discoloration, especially reddish or blackish colors which may indicate the presence of blood. Some conditions will cause the stool to have a coating of mucus, which has been described before as similar to egg whites, reports VCA Animal Hospitals. The power of the smell is also important when it comes to narrowing down the possible causes. Keep track of how long your cat has been having diarrhea, how many times your cat is experiencing diarrhea each day, and whether your cat is having urgency or accidents associated with defecation.
Other information that will be useful to a veterinarian includes information about the cat's diet or any recent changes in food, the presence of vomiting, lack of appetite, weight loss, as well as any other medical conditions the cat may suffer from. Take all of this information when you go to the veterinarian appointment as it will be extremely helpful in determining what the underlying issue is.

Cares enough to send her best
A Largo woman's care packages to Iraq mainly go to today's soldiers in the Army infantry outfit her husband fought with in World War II.
By WILL VAN SANT
Published May 2, 2007
The romance between Evelyn and Joe Bartoszek started more than 60 years ago when she spotted the young man walking down a street in Camden, N.J., carrying a cheesecake.
"I said, 'My, that boy looks great, ' " recalls Evelyn, now 80. "Then he went overseas."
For Joe, overseas meant Utah Beach and the D-day invasion, which he took part in as a member of the 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment. After being injured by shrapnel in France, Joe came home and the two married.
They've been together for 59 years and have spent the last 13 in Largo, where they live at the Oak Crest Mobile Home Park. Their place is cream-colored and has rose bushes out front.
Evelyn resolved in 2003 that she was going to do something for the troops fighting abroad. And it was easy to decide who would be getting her lovingly prepared care packages.
Sometimes soldiers not with the 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment have been so lucky to receive one. But most of her packages have gone to those serving in Iraq with her husband's former unit.
They're a deserving bunch, having endured two deployments to Iraq and now preparing for yet another round in the conflict zone beginning this September, Evelyn said.
"The men are so grateful for everything we do, " she said. "They hold a special place in my heart."
Six thousand care packages after she got started, Evelyn Bartoszek was honored Tuesday by Gov. Charlie Crist, whose office bestowed on her his Point of Light Award, given to individuals in the state notable for their volunteer work.
"It underscores what we all can do with a little bit of time and a lot of compassion, " Fonda Anderson of the Volunteer Florida Foundation said of Bartoszek's honor in a ceremony before the Pinellas County Commission.
Service to country is not something Bartoszek picked up in retirement. As a girl in Camden, she would go with her father, a furniture finisher, to the roof of the Walt Whitman Hotel and search the skies for Japanese planes.
"We stood there for hours, " she said of her plane spotting days. "You wanted to get in and do something for your country."
When Bartoszek sends a care package, she tries to include two boxes. In one go essentials like shampoo, writing paper, books and deodorant. In the other go foods like peanut butter and jelly and treats like candy and cookies.
The boxes are 5.5 inches high, 11 inches long and 8.5 inches wide. A full box weighs about 10 pounds and costs $8.10 to mail overseas.
Bartoszek, a retired nurse, and her husband, a retired Greyhound bus driver, rely on Social Security. Donations from the four local Republican clubs she belongs to cover the cost of goods and shipping.
"She's been doing it for quite a while, " said Joe Bartoszek, 81. "It's her pride and I'm proud of her, too."
She usually sends out an average of 16 to 18 boxes a month. But over Christmas, generally a busy time, she was on a tear. Evelyn sent out 110 boxes in December and January.
All that boxing caused some damage to her thumb. So she's getting cortisone shots and is ready to get back to work, although her cupboard is pretty bare now and she's on the lookout for stuff to send.
Evelyn Bartoszek says she'll keep at it until one of two things happens: either she dies or the war ends.
"I know from the letters that I receive how much this means to our guys, " she said. "Got to keep that morale up."

ARMC approves contract with Local 204
ALPENA – The Alpena Regional Medical Center Board of Trustees approved the ratification of the Local 204 Contract in a closed session at its board meeting Tuesday. The new contract represents about 300 staff throughout the hospital in departments such as radiology, medical records, the business office, dietary, environmental services, plant operations, and others at ARMC.
"We are pleased to have a new contract in place and appreciate the negotiation team's hard work and dedication to our patients," Diane Shields, vice president of human resources and support services, said.
During the regular meeting, the board approved spending $1,108,242 on a storage area network management information system to encompass all the memory that stores programs and data on the hospitals computer systems.
"We need to update, upgrade and add memory," George Smart, vice president for finance and information systems, said. "We'll save over $200,000 right out of the gate and fix our cost over the next five years."
They also approved spending $239,417 on an API time and attendance consolidation project.
"This is a replacement of the time keeping system for our employees. It will eliminate a lot of the manual things we are constantly doing," Shields said. "Instead of manually filling out a time sheet, it will all be automated."
The board accepted the financial information for March, with good inpatient volumes, but a decrease in inpatient surgical volume. Net patient revenue was 3.9 percent short of planned, with operations generating revenue over expense of $130,542, which was $156,197 below the planned excess revenue. Added with non-operating revenue, net excess revenue over expenses was $219,387.
In other business, the board approved the following clinicians:
* Bruce Ohmart, MD, as an orthopaedic surgeon, Michael Paulsell, MD, as a general surgeon, Joseph Houle, MD, as a pathologist, Brian Hanna, DO, as a general surgeon, Jeff Dombroski, MD, as an orthopaedic surgeon, Michael Sonnenberg, MD, as a radiologist and James Weeks, MD, as a radiologist have all been reappointed to active medical staff and assigned to the Department of Surgery
* Lee Britton, MD, as a general surgeon and G. Donald Ohmart, MD, as an otolaryngologist have been reappointed to community affiliate staff and assigned to the Department of Surgery
* J. Meenakshi Pandit, MD, Arjun Kalyanpur, MD, Angali Agrawal, MD, Manohar Aribandi, MD, Bharath Chinta, MD and Stephen Eigles, MD – teleradiologists are reappointed to consulting staff and assigned to the department of surgery
* Tina Hahn, MD, pediatrician is appointed to provisional staff
* Klaudia Hunter, MD, radiation oncologist has been appointed to locum tenens staff.

Hundreds of windmills were built on farmland along the corridor from Windsor to Toronto.consumption, coal-fired generating capacity, and emissions of mercury, other toxic compounds, and carbon dioxide from coal-fired plants will fall to near zero, according to the Ontario Environment Ministry.

The demand for electricity fell in Ontario, a market that was producing over 35,000 megawatts of generating capacity. Ontario's three big nuclear plants alone produce almost 13,000 megawatts of generating capacity and 56 percent of the province's electrical power. Hydropower generates almost 8,000 megawatts of capacity and 22 percent of the electricity.
