Sotto Sopra
Online Reservations
Sotto Sopra is the only restaurant in Baltimore I've found serving authentic gourmet Italian food. They never disappoint - the food is always wonderful, and the service attentive, but not overly so.
Excellent food and service, an interesting menu with some unusual entries, and quiet in the evening. Hard to beat. They remembered our last date there for my wife's birthday and gave us some very good desert as a treat.
Lovely meal. Love the lunch option-a good deal and also delicious. Great decor - redolent of little Italy of past years without over the top.
We enjoyed our evening there. Especially since we were there for 3 hours and not once did they rush us. We were there on a week night so that might be why, but nonetheless we loved the nice, with low light (romantic!) atmosphere and the food was really good. Everything was good from the cheese plate, to the great ceasar salad, pasta - yum, to the great desserts which we had two of!! My husband loved the pork cheeks! And they had a good wine list too. I would recommend to our friends for a nice dinner out. I love that it isn't your typical spaghetti and meatball place - there are plenty of those in the city -- so go - you'll enjoy it! There were a few tables with 6 to 10 people so I guess they do serve groups or larger parties.
We had an excellent time. Wonderful overall experience.
Went after a show at the Hippodrome. Everything was great. The god was outstanding and the service was friendly and attentive. We will be returning!
This place is not near the Meyerhoff. It is around 9 blocks and don't leave your car there. They lot closes at 10:30 pm and the Meyerhoff shows end after 10:30 pm... So don't leave your car there.
I am in the process of taking my wife to all 50 of the 50 best restaurants in Baltimore as ranked by Baltimore Magazine. This place hit it out of the park with their amazing chef. Ouzo Bay has no business in the #1 spot, only the Charleston belongs there, followed by the prime rib, followed by Sotto Sopra. Their food is incredible!
The food and presentation was outstanding. It is a restaurant I look forward to when I am visiting Baltimore. I do highly recommend it. The only draw back was that the service was a little slow. Salads and appetizers arrived and the wine and bread had not yet been served.
We had a great dinner and our waiter was excellent & very knowledgeable about the wines & didn't try to up-sell us on a bottle of wine. Would definitely go back.
My wife and I enjoyed dinner at Sotto Sopra very much. We started with drinks at the bar. The bartender acknowledged that he was relatively new, but he proved very knowledgeable and helped my wife decide on the perfect pre-dinner cocktail. We then opted for the tasting menu, which helped us overcome our inability to decide among the menu's many options. We paired it with a nice wine and enjoyed a great meal. The only reason I'm dropping a star is because our server was overly busy and extended periods of time would go by with no sighting of her. And when we asked for suggestions, she described everything as her favorite or wonderful or a perfect choice.
A superb addition to the restaurant's talented staff is Pastry Chef Mallory Staley. Her dessert menu is spectacular. It provides the perfect conclusion of a superb meal. If fact, you could skip the regular menu and go straight to the desserts and you would not be disappointed! Really, they are THAT good.
I was staying at Hotel Monaco and wanted a restaurant that was an easy walk away. The food was excellent as was the atmosphere. Good wine list and seasonal specials were a plus. I look forward to returning next time I'm in Baltimore.
Superb service with excellent, inventive Italian food. We went back 2 nights after our first meal there!
Wife and I went out for an early anniversary dinner while we were in Bmore and I'm so happy this is where we picked. Great food, amazing service, and of course very romantic.
Remarkable food! We had the polenta with truffle oil and sea salt appetizer and the duck leg entree and veal agnolotti. The affogatto was a divine dessert. We are still talking about the food days later. Warm, informed, professional but not pretentious service. This is a gorgeous restaurant, seamlessly run with a welcoming staff. If you have not dined here, you are missing out on one of the loveliest nights out in Baltimore.
Third time the wife and is have dined here. Each time the good has been outstanding as have the drinks (wine and cocktails). For the first the though service was a bit ehhhh. Took forever just to get water and not that we were in a rush, but come on, water? Overall a great meal though, and that's what you go here for. The kitchen is consistently cranking out great food!
You can never go wrong with Sotto Sopra. Always a great meal. Would recommend it for any occasion.
Sotto Sopra is a true find. Our team has been visiting Baltimore (Owings Mills) for 6 weeks now. We have been trying to go to different restaurant each night. As we were picking up a colleague at BWI, we decided to try an Italian restaurant. Sotto Sopra won the selection. We were impressed from the moment we walked in. The ambience was warm, inviting, and comfortable. The food was simply outstanding. Even though the service was good, we feel it could have been better consider the number of wait staff available. Sotto Sopra is a restaurant that I will visit again, and again, and again.
This was our second time dining at Sotto Sopra. The second time around was even better, but it was hard to out-do our first dining experience. Each course was expertly prepared, presented and the flavor was outstanding. We can't wait to travel back to Baltimore with our friends from Pittsburgh to share this outstanding restaurant experience.
The food was amazing with great presentation. Our server, Alex, was wonderful and made great recommendations. The wine list was excellent with unique options. We had a group of 6 and they managed us well!
Had to wait about 1 hour due to slower than exected turnover of patrons. Hostess managed the situation with grace. Some latercomers at the bar were treated to a free round; nice touch to sustain a bright mood. The Itialian red wines by the glass are complex and full-bodied. Overall dining experience was approrpaite for anniversary celebration. The scallops with pumpkin sauce had string maple syrup flavor and a few too many peppercorns to pick out. The Dorado with grilled vegetables was perfect. Ambience is pleasant with civilized and patient fellow diners. Recommendation to management: on Friday nights please hold back on a couple of tables to allow for slower than normal turnover.
FRood was quite tasty, but serivce was excruciatingly slow.
Nice atmosphere...friendly service...good food...nice location
Great meal with attentive service. Quite a crowded and noisey venue on a Saturday night, but worth the wait to be seated.
I had a reservation at 8:45 PM for 3. We didn't get sat until 10:20 PM. While we waited for a table, other people were at the bar and I learned quickly that they had been waiting 1+ hours for their reservation. Why make reservations if you're not going to be sat at that time? This is the only reason I'm giving 3 stars for service. That being said, there was exceptional service from the hostess understanding that we were waiting for a table (since obviously she couldn't do anything about the current situation). She (the restaurant) offered complimentary appetizers and a round of drinks. My group (and the other groups as well) ended up having a great time! Very well done! I should add that the food is always amazing at this restaurant.
We enjoyed an early and extremely pleasant meal. Our server, Austin, was top notch and we enjoyed his recommendations. So many more dishes that we would love to try. All of our guests tried different pasta dishes.
We went on an early Sunday evening and enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere of the restaurant. We had great service - our waiter was very professional and also made us feel at home. Our dinners were delicious and included the La Polenta di Riccardo appetizer with poached egg, a main course pasta of fettuccini with ossobuco ragu, plus other fine dishes. We asked for a half order of gnocchi which was no problem, and it was wonderful, the gnocchi being made with ricotta cheese sitting in a creamy pesto sauce. And the Sotto Sopra cocktail was a delightful concoction!
First time back at this restaurant in over a year. Met an out of town friend there for dinner and hoped it would be up to expectations. Fortunately, it was a very enjoyable experience. Seasonal menu options were creative. Our fresh pasta dishes were just that -- very fresh and flavorful. The only disappointment was the bar selection -- both my friend's choice for a cocktail and his request for Lemoncello with our Tiramisu were met with "out of stock". Our server did his best with substitutes, but we were somewhat disappointed. Otherwise, a great meal!
Very interesting menu. Homemade pasta. Every dish I saw go by looked fabulous
Romantic, private, quiet. Great service, and great food. Let's keep it a secret!!!
As a Mt. Vernon resident, I always enjoy having lunch at Sotto Sopra, especially with a good friend or two. The food is excellent, portions reasonable, and the service is very good. The lunch price is also a plus.
Sotto Sopra is a gem - wonderful food , not only delicious, but presented so attractively, prices are great, servings are bountiful. Joel, our server, was so pleasant - obviously very well-trained. The atmosphere is terrific - very attractive surroundings. This restaurant is hard to beat!
Outstanding food, service, and interaction makes this a go-to spot. The pasta was delectable (especially the sacchetti)--the flavors subtle, the texture silky, the sauces sumptuous. The entire wait staff and especially our server were friendly, informative, and efficient. Kudos to Sotto Sopra for a memorable dining experience.
My husband and I absolutely love this restaurant. We recently visited for our 2nd year anniversary where we were seated at a table with a single rose in a vase. We felt this was very thoughtful and unexpected. The service is impeccable and the food is outstanding. I always end up getting the black squid ink pasta with crab meat and white sauce. My husband goes for something off if the specials menu which has vener disappointed. The atmosphere is romantic and inviting. Can't wait to go back!
Sotto Sopra is our go-to restaurant. At night, we love the food, the ambiance and the wonderful staff, especially Irena (sp?). My husband and I visited most recently on Friday night. It did not disappoint. For appetizers, I ordered the stuffed shrimp special (it appeared to be "stuffed" with a thin piece of hot pepper) while my husband had the salmon tartare. Both were wonderful--I thought the shrimp was extraordinary. As entrees, I black ink pasta with seafood while my husband had the mushroom pasta. They were both perfect. The wine list was predictably excellent with excellent choices at a range of price points. The service was (as always) perfectly attentive. Can't wait to go back.
And eat at Sotto Sopra. Ambience, food, service all blow anywhere in Little Italy away. Every bit of our experience there was amazing, from beginning to end. Perfect for a special occasion or if you're just in the mood for a nice Italian meal in an intimate atmosphere. Cannot say enough nice things about this gem of a restaurant. We will return time and again.
A lovely evening, fine food in a warm atmosphere, with an excellent waiter.
Celebrating my son's birthday. The various meals were enjoyable and our server was very accommodating to our dietary needs. The bronzino was delicious. Not quite as pleased with the espresso rubbed ribeye. Would visit again.
Sotto has always met our expectations, small things, here and there, but we have been coming for a few years now are to be expected. But can't said anything negative to any of the time we had dinner there. Opera night, as always, is for the food.. Ricardo pushes the envelope on occasion, but always for the best.. i.e last Sunday, I am not crazy about risotto, but he made it so yum yum.. that I eat it.. LOL the canoli dessert was too small, (I would had more dessert) great dinner, and of course, Irena is top, welcome back lady.. carlos ...
I always love coming here! Definitely take advantage of the daily specials! Everything was delicious, especially the branzino.
Planning to go to a nearby concert, we thought of Sotto Sopra. Our table was ready on arrival. The waiter was attentive to our schedule. But, best of all was delicious food and great service. The pumpkin pasta with sausage was divine. Caesar salad unusual in a crispy filo basket excellent crisp fresh romaine and lovely dressing. Ossobucco was yummy yummy. Nice wines by the glass and perfect tiramisu to finish it off. The place was packed, but not a beat was missed by the staff. Highly recommend for pre-concert dining.
'Tried this restaurant for the first time as it was my husband's birthday and Italian is his favorite. We LOVED IT! The menu had a good selection without excessive choices, the food was wonderfully well prepared and abundant, the wine-by-the-glass was great (I don't imbibe) and the chocolate tart was a perfect ending. The service was excellent without being intrusive and the water glasses were always full. We loved it so much we made reservations for "Opera Nite" with another couple and will return again when our 3 college-age children come home for the holiday break!
Returned to Sotto Sopra after being away for awhile and I wasn't let down. Genuine Italian food served in a vibrant, yet warm setting. Quality service and a wine list with excellent price points will make me return more often.
So many restaurants don't use real candlelight anymore - they used great big candles and it added to the whole experience. Food was amazing - a great experience overall.
The food was impeccable and the service was stellar!
On an overnight visit to Baltimore, we decided to try Sotto Sopra because Italian cuisine is our favorite. Sotto Sopra proved to be a wonderful choice! The ambiance is lovely - beautiful décor with wonderful murals and gilded framed mirrors and Irina, our server, was superb. And the food- creative Northern Italian - absolutely delicious. My husband's pork osso buco was fall-off-the-bone, melt-in-your-mouth incredible. My grouper was served with ricotta gnocchi and pumpkin sauce - just yummy! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would happily return next time we visit Baltimore.
Very good Northern Italian food. Great for a change pace and those little differences that make going out interesting. Service was great -- very attentive and pleasant. The spaces (at least on a Saturday night) were crowded and noisy. I wouldn't recommend it for that quiet, romantic dinner. It's closer to a dinner with the family.
Absolutely fabulous...Started out at the bar...The bartender's recommended Malbec was excellent. Pork Osso Bucco tender as could be. A great dining experience
The food was fantastic, as was the atmosphere and the overall experience. I strongly recommend Sotto Sopra. I had the duck confit, and it was nothing short of perfect. My date had the spinach ravioli, and she couldn't have been happier. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We were heading to a show later at the Hippodrome and they were sensitive to making sure we had everything on time and were able to close out with plenty of time left to get to the show. Couldn't say enough nice things about SS and will definitely return!

Hands down, Kim Kardashian's rose-covered Givenchy gown for the Met Gala will go down as the year's biggest maternity fashion moment (seriously, it spawned several Internet memes). But she wasn't the only mom-to-be who made a major floral print statement. Evan Rachel Wood glammed it up in Dolce & Gabbana at the Tribeca Film Festival.

The programme, delivered by Sussex Downs College, in partnership with the FIA, SkillsActive, and the Sport and Fitness Employers Group (SAFE), will teach professionals to learn behavioural change techniques and how to motivate inactive audiences.
Many employers have already signed up to be part of the Joint Investment Programme (JIP) and with 1,300 fitness professionals set to benefit, more businesses have the opportunity to be part of the programme to up-skill the sector.
The programme offers employers (and those who are self-employed) match funding on the following courses:
• L2 Award in Understanding Health Improvement
• L3 Award in Adapting Exercise for Older Adults
• L3 Award in Adapting Physical Activity for Older Adults
• L2 Award in Community Activation
• L3 Unit - Enabling Individuals to Change Behaviour and Improve Health and Well-being while working as a Health Trainer
• L3 Unit - Customer Service in the Sport and Active Leisure Industry
• L3 Award in Adapting Physical Activity for Ante and Post Natal Participants
• L3 Award in Adapting Physical Activity for People with Disabilities
• L4 Certificate for the management of lower back pain
David Stalker, CEO, FIA said: "Through this programme, employers will support us to up-skill over 1,300 fitness professionals to be able to introduce a currently inactive audience to physical activity, helping us achieve a more active nation".
Suki Kalarai, SkillsActive's CEO said: "This is a great opportunity for employers to ensure their staff are completely up-to-date with their training without breaking the bank. In these straitened economic times training budgets can often be the first thing to be cut so we're especially pleased to be able help ensure those working in the fitness industry carry on learning."
Liz Kemp, Project Delivery Coordinator at Sussex Downs College said: "Sussex Downs College is delighted to be working with the FIA and SkillsActive on such a challenging, high profile national project supporting leisure and fitness employers. We are looking forward to, not only managing the network of high quality training providers that will be delivering the qualifications, but also being part of the main steering group and monitoring the impact the project has on improving the physical activity of the nation."
For more information on the programme visit www.skillsactive.com/jip
Follow the programme on Twitter #SkillsFit
The scheme, part of the Youth Contract announced in Autumn 2011, allocates £126 million towards 55,000 teenagers in England with poor qualifications who are currently not in employment or education (NEET). It will invite bids for contracts worth up to £2,200 for each teenager who can be sustained in work, education or training for 12 months.
Suki Kalirai, interim CEO of SkillsActive, the skills council for the sport and active leisure sector, says: "The sport and active leisure sector is perfect for NEETs. Twenty-nine percent of the sector's workforce is aged 16-24 and we offer highly attractive job roles that can help get many of the now 1 million unemployed 16 to 24 year olds off the dole queue.
"This latest initiative offers a much needed career lifeline and helps employers to source enthusiastic, skilled talent for their workforce. I urge employers in our sector to take up this opportunity to develop their workforce, reduce business costs and help alleviate the nation's unemployment crisis, by taking on apprentices and using one of SkillsActive's 13 different Apprenticeship frameworks."
The number of apprentices in the sport and active leisure sector has increased 600% in the past five years; SkillsActive issued 9,342 Apprenticeship certificates in the year ending September 2011, up from 1,271 in 2006.
There are 13 Apprenticeship frameworks available in the sport and active leisure sector in England, covering job roles as diverse as activity leadership, playwork and spectator safety. SkillsActive has designed each framework in consultation with sector employers, to ensure they provide the skills businesses need.

SkillsActive, the Sector Skills Council for Sport and Active Leisure, issued 9,342 Apprenticeship certificates in the year ending September 2011- up from 1,271 in 2006.
SkillsActive interim CEO Suki Kalirai says the figures show more employers in sport, fitness, caravans, playwork and the outdoors are realising the value of Apprenticeships.
"By using Apprenticeships to train new and existing staff, these employers are reducing business costs, investing in their future workforce and helping alleviate the nation's unemployment crisis."
Fit for Sport training manager Jack Shakespeare says 15% of the organisation's 70 permanent staff train through Apprenticeship programmes; by 2013, he expects that figure to reach 50 per cent.
"Apprenticeships are, in our experience, the most successful way to recruit, develop and retain effective employees," Jack says. "We are using Apprenticeship programmes to build a well-trained, motivated and loyal workforce which will help us grow and develop our business."
Outdoor education provider PGL has 180 apprentices across its operations in the UK and France.
PGL Apprenticeship programme manager, Jo Mortimer says: "Apprenticeships are a cost-effective way to provide staff who may not have travelled the academic route with the skills and qualifications we require. Many of our apprentices have developed their management skills and gone on to work at higher levels within the business."
Apprenticeships are a package of on-the-job training and qualifications which take between one and four years to complete. There are 13 Apprenticeship frameworks available in the sport and active leisure sector in England, covering job roles as diverse as activity leadership, playwork and spectator safety. SkillsActive has designed each framework in consultation with sector employers, to ensure they provide the skills businesses need.
Suki explains that Apprenticeship programmes are not just suited to large employers; small and medium sized businesses now have the opportunity to access funded training through SkillsActive's Group Training Association.
"Our Group Training Association enables employers running small to medium enterprises to group together and access funded training that would otherwise be out of their reach. This training is delivered through SkillsActive's network of approved National Skills Academy training providers.
"I encourage all employers, whatever their size, to talk to one of our account managers about how Apprenticeships could work for them."
To celebrate National Apprenticeship Week 2012, SkillsActive is offering a FREE training package to the first 25 employers to register their interest in Apprenticeship funding on our website.

Stevenage Sporting Futures Team has been passionate about developing a home-grown coaching workforce ever since it was established as a Schools Sports Partnership in 2003.
We are based in a community which is renowned for low aspiration of our young people, and we believe we can make a difference to lives through our provision of Quality PE and school sport sessions.
In 2007, we started our Partnership Coach programme. We employ 18 year olds and provide them with a year of experience and qualifications. At the end of the programme, our recruits have more confidence and a better feel for the career pathways available to them in sport.
We decided to take the concept further last year after working with SkillsActive on the Future Jobs Fund programme. The experience opened our eyes to the possibility of transforming the Partnership Coach programme into a sporting Apprenticeship. We now have 12 pilot apprentices working at Stevenage, including one who we retained from the Future Jobs Fund programme.
We work with Sporting Futures Training cic, a training provider specialising in school-based, work-based learning to support our apprentices. Our team of experienced PE specialists and coaches provide our apprentices with in house training. They also undertake a Level 2 NVQ Activity Leadership and a level 2 NGB award. Working with people, life-skills, employability comes with the turf.
The increased workforce provided by Apprenticeships has had a great impact in our schools and community - improving participation and providing positive role models for our youngsters. Apprenticeships have also enabled us to have a club based apprentice at Stevenage Scorpians - a level 2 Coach who works developing basketball within the town.
We hope through Sporting Futures Training we can take the model to other areas, as the value for our apprentices and the young people who work with them is immense.
From 21 December 2011 onwards the ERI is available to Scottish employers recruiting a Modern Apprentice, who matches one of the following criteria:
ERI is also available to employers recruiting an employee, who matches one of the following criteria:
This development is great news for Scottish businesses and young people across the country.

SkillsActive issues Apprenticeship frameworks, which outline the minimum requirements needed to complete the Apprenticeship at each level and for each occupation. We also provide certification for apprentices in England and Wales.
If you are a training provider in England or Wales and you would like to deliver government funded Apprenticeships, you need to hold a contract with the Skills Funding Agency.
Training providers in Scotland need to hold a contract with Skills Development Scotland. Training providers in Northern Ireland need to hold a contract with the Department for Employment and Learning.
To gain a contract, you must meet certain requirements, such as minimum contracting value. If you do not meet the minimum contracting value, you can enter into a subcontracting arrangement with a larger training provider. If you are a training provider in England, one way to do this is by joining SkillsActive's Group Training Association.
Only training providers in Scotland need to register with SkillsActive to deliver Apprenticeships.
There's a wide variety of Apprenticeships available in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Select a country below to learn more about the types of Apprenticeships available in your area.
SkillsActive has worked with employers and training providers to develop a set of Apprenticeship frameworks. These outline the minimum requirements apprentices need to complete the apprenticeship at each level and for each occupation. You can then work with your employer and apprentice to identify the most suitable framework for their needs.
Learn more about the Apprenticeship frameworks available in your country by viewing Frameworks and Guidance.
At the end of their Apprenticeship, all apprentices need a certificate to show they have fulfilled the Apprenticeship requirements.
In England, Wales and Scotland, certificates are issued by SkillsActive. In Northern Ireland, they are issued by the Department for Employment and Learning.
Apprentices can apply for their own certificate or authorise their training provider to apply for one on their behalf.
A new certification service run by the Alliance has been developed and is known as Apprenticeship Certificates England (ACE). Apprentices, learning providers or employers who act on their behalf, will be able to request Apprenticeship certificates using the ACE online system. ACE provides a unique centralised certification system that will save Sector Skills Councils / Sector Skills Bodies (SSCs/SSBs), providers and certifying authorities valuable time, resource and investment and will allow them to track the progress of apprenticeship candidates. The system was officially launched on Wednesday 25 January 2012 by John Hayes MP, Minister of State for Further Education, Skills and Lifelong Learning.
You will need to register your organisation on the system via the online registration form; this can be done by going to www.acecerts.co.uk and completing the information and contact details. Once you have completed this process you will be emailed a username and password for ACE. This will be your "administrator" account which you can then use to create additional accounts for your centre. You will be able to create a maximum of 5 additional users.
The user guide that has been created for centres to help you use the system and also further e-learning materials can be found on www.acecerts.co.uk/tutorials.
The cost of certificates will be £22.

Catholic health care groups to join forcesSt. Catherine, St. Rose will be part of huge Colorado affiliation.Two Catholic-owned healthcare facilities in western Kansas - St. Catherine Hospital in Garden City and St. Rose Ambulatory and Surgery Center in Great Bend - will soon become part of Colorado's largest health care organization.
They will join Denver-based Centura Health Initiatives, a massive health care consortium formed in 1996 that is jointly operated by Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) and Adventist Health System, a mission of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. St. Catherine and St. Rose are currently part of CHI. The move basically integrates all of CHI's facilities in Colorado and Kansas into one regional structure, according to a company press release. The change, local directors said, won't result in any immediate differences notable to the public other than changes in colors of the care facilities signs, from teal to blue. It will, however, enable local health care providers to access expanded specialized and expert care from other entities in the organization, and allow the organizations to better weather expected changes in health care regulation and funding. "The organizational structure at St. Catherine's and St. Rose, in terms of governance structure, will remain intact," said Scott Taylor, president and CEO of CHI Kansas. "My boss changes... There may be dotted line reporting changes in terms of senior officers. But within the organization itself, there is no change in reporting structure. Board authorities at each facility remain the same with the Catholic Health Initiatives." Officials expect no reductions in employment at either facility, either, Taylor said. In fact, some operations the institution previously scheduled to outsource to third party companies will now remain internal. "They'll actually get to stay with their current employers, where formally they were scheduled to transition out Jan. 1," he said. The organization will begin work on the integration immediately, with systems at St. Catherine and St. Rose transitioned to Centura Health in the coming months. Consumer benefits Centura Health is Colorado's largest family of hospitals and health care services and one of the state's largest private employers, operating 13 hospitals, seven senior living communities and home care and hospice services. The consolidation "will benefit consumers throughout the region by facilitating shared best practices, linked systems of care, transparent exchanges of health records, and, ultimately, improved and more-consistent clinical quality across the two states and region," according to press release from CHI. "St. Catherine Hospital has grown dramatically over the last decade, where 40 percent of patients are referral based outside of Finney County," Taylor said. "It's truly a regional medical center. In the Great Bend market, St. Rose has completely transformed itself over the last 18 months into a large multi-specialty practice with a full array of ambulatory and surgical services. Our presence in Kansas is significant. But we continue to look to deepen and bring a greater presence from both ministries into the Kansas market." Through the partnership with Centura Health, Taylor said, "it allows us to maintain our Catholic identity... to remain a part of Catholic Health Initiatives, but to partner with an organization whose strategic plan and operational philosophy more closely aligns with the St. Catherine's and St. Rose market." While a joint organization with Adventist Health, CHI facilities within Centura are managed as "uniquely Catholic," Taylor said, while Adventist Health operates its facilities according to dictates of that church. Centura Health brings expertise in telemedicine and distant care or home-based health services, Taylor said, allowing access to care not currently available through CHI in Kansas. Eventual changes "We see three things in the immediate future," Taylor said during a media conference call. "First is improved overall quality of care for the residents of Kansas. We'll also be able to reduce the cost of that care, both to consumers and local providers who struggle with the cost of care every day. Third, it will improve the experience of care, limiting travel and improving access to specialist and specialty care in this part of the country where care is largely rural." "We're very excited about the opportunity to partner with Centura Health," he said. "It positions us well for the decade to come as healthcare evolves and health care financing evolves." Operational responsibility of the hospitals will transfer on Jan. 1. Employees of the Kansas facilities will become employees of Centura Health on July 1. The entire transition, Taylor said, is expected to take 18 months, "to integrate our information technology and programs into Centura's program." "An integration into a Colorado-based Centura Health makes sound strategic sense for St. Catherine Hospital," Mike Rome, chairman of the St. Catherine Hospital board of directors, stated in the release. "We believe this alignment makes more sense for CHI facilities based in Kansas over any other division within CHI. The board's primary concern was to preserve our Catholic identity and heritage, while positioning our local hospital with partners that will support its growth in the decades ahead." blog comments powered by Disqus Inappropriate comments include those which: are libelous or defamatory are obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit; substituting characters for letters is not acceptable degrade others on basis of race, gender, class, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability or other classification are predatory, hateful or intended to attack, intimidate or harass writers or other commenters. contain advertising or solicitation misrepresent your identity or affiliation Also: Please don't hijack comment threads to controversial topics; keep comments relevant to the topic.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Crude Oil and Natural Gas Liquids Country Notes
Proved recoverable reserves (crude oil and NGLs, million tonnes) |
197 |
Production (crude oil and NGLs, million tonnes, 2005) |
27.0 |
R/P ratio (years) |
7.3 |
Year of first commercial production |
1921 |
Initially, oil discoveries were made principally in the valley of the Magdalena. Subsequently, other fields were discovered in the north of the country (from the early 1930s), and in 1959 oil was found in the Putamayo area in southern Colombia, near the border with Ecuador. More recently, major discoveries have included the Caño Limón field near the Venezuelan frontier and the Cusiana and Cupiagua fields in the Llanos Basin to the east of the Andes. However, the remaining proved reserves have been shrinking since 1992, and are now at a very low level in relation to production (R/P ratio of only 7.3), on the basis of data published by the Unidad de Planeación Minero Energético (UPME) of the Ministerio de Minas y Energía, in its Boletín Estadístico 1999-2005. UPME remarks that oil reserves decreased at an average rate of 7.4% per annum between 1998 and 2005, owing largely to declines in the Caño Limón and Cusiana fields. However, it has high hopes of finding further reserves, with the promotion of new areas on the part of the state company Ecopetrol and the Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos.
Colombia's oil production grew strongly between 1994 and 1999, increasing by about 80% over the period: 2000, however, displayed a sharp contraction, and output has continued to fall year by year.

This device is still being testing. I will bring you more news about it- concerning the pictures of the shoulder buttons.
Would love to know if that analog pad is truly analog or if it just mimics the d-pad, that in itself may make up for it if it has no shoulder buttons

Union, mayor continue to square off over school bus bids as strike lingers on
The city's school bus strike shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon, with the mayor and the drivers union entrenched in their respective stands on job security.
As more than 8,000 drivers picketed at bus depots throughout the city Wednesday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he still wouldn't put employee protection provision in the bids for 1,000 new school bus contracts.
The mayor said he hoped that the strike wouldn't last 14 weeks, like the last one did in 1979, and urged Local 1181 of the Amalgamated Transit Union to accept the court ruling that deemed EEP illegal.
"This strike is about guarantees that the union can't have," Bloomberg said.
The union has contended that the protection will keep experienced drivers behind the wheel. The protection requires companies that win the bids to hire workers from the losing companies based on experience. The court ruling only covered pre-K drivers, according to the union.
"This isn't for money, it's for job security," Sal Aglialoro, 66, a bus driver for 20 years said while picketing outside a Ridgewood bus depot. "I've been on the job 20 years. Am I just supposed to walk away with nothing?"
The strike didn't seem to deter parents and students from getting school. They received student MetroCards and reimbursement for car mileage, and overall attendance was down less than 1%, according to schools chancellor Dennis Walcott.
Attendance at schools in citywide District 75, which teaches special needs students, however, was down 25%, the chancellor said.
The union began running TV ads depicting images of crashed school buses and warning viewers that the bids, which represent a sixth of the total bus contracts, would create safety issues.
"Would you let your child get on this bus?" a voice-over asks in the ad.
Bloomberg dismissed those concerns and noted that the city is dealing with the bus companies, not the union directly.
"We don't set salaries and benefits, the companies do," he said.
He reiterated that the city would move on with the bids because it needs to find a way to shave the $1.1 billion annual cost for school buses and get money back in the classrooms.
"The city's best interest is to get the best service at the lowest possible price," he said.

Reaction: Hse. Cmte. Member Rep. Peter King (R-NY) (right-click to copy direct link)
Washington, DC Friday, November 16, 2012
Retired General and former CIA Director David Petraeus testified today two seperate classified hearings on the events leading up to and following the terrorist attacks on the U.S. Diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 11, 2012.
Four Americans were killed in that attack, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens. Congress is investigating whether the State Department denied a request for extra security at that outpost earlier in the year, and what actions were taken in the moments after the attack began.
As reported by CQ, "There was no official word on what he told either committee, and the few lawmakers willing to offer their summaries essentially broke down along party lines in their descriptions." Following the hearings, several ranking House and Senate Committee members made general comments to the press. House Intelligence Committeeman Peter King (R-NY) told reporters that the United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice's comments on the Sunday news shows immediately following the Sept. 11, 2012 attack did not initially include Al-Qaeda involvement. He said the original "talking points" supplied to her through intelligence reports were intentionally changed as a political cover up heading into the presidential election. King talked little on the Petraeus affair, but has did mention that Petraeus' demeanor seemed "strong." Armed Services Ranking Member Adam Smith (D-WA) dismissed what Rep. King said about the "talking points" changing. He said, "that is completely wrong." Following the Senate meeting, Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) said, "My personal assessment will come out in our initial report." She later added, "I think Ambassador Rice has been treated unfairly." The former four-star general stepped down last week as CIA director because of an extramarital affair but has agreed to appear voluntarily before House and Senate investigative committees. Both Committees yesterday held a closed hearing with Acting CIA Director Michael Morell, National Intelligence Director James Clapper and others intelligence officials.

As the largest grass-roots fundraiser and public awareness vehicle for Special Olympics, the Law Enforcement Torch Run® raised over US$42.6 million in 2012. Since its inception in 1981, it has grown extensively worldwide with over 97,000 volunteers spanning 46 countries, and raising more than US$461 million for the Special Olympics movement. Fundraising is only part of what the officers involved with the initiative give to the movement. Our athletes say law enforcement officers are truly supportive of the cause – extending to them friendship, acceptance and encouragement.

Setting out from the port by coach, you will find it easy to relax and enjoy this driving tour of Spain's most fascinating city, Barcelona, a lovely Mediterranean stronghold of architectural interest. Your guide will point out all the highlights as the coach drives up Via Laietana en route to the Cathedral de la Santa Creu I Santa Eulalia. A guided tour within the 13th century cathedral, will give you the opportunity to admire the hall church interior, suitably impressive with a raised altar and the beautiful Chapel of Santa Lucía. You will drive along one of Barcelona's most famous streets, the Passeig de Gracia, lined with different Modernist buildings, many of which were designed by architect Antoni Gaudí. Watch for Casa Batlló, an iconic Barcelona landmark and Casa Mila. Your next stop will be at one of Gaudí's masterpieces – the Sagrada Familia (Holy Family) Church. This is a site not to be missed. Though construction was started in 1882 it is still unfinished. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the most-visited building in Barcelona, and immediately identifies the city around the world. From here you'll head up to the El Mirador Alcalde garden with the most exceptional views of Barcelona and its impressive harbor.
A lovely drive into the Provencal countryside brings you to the charming old town of Aix-en-Provence. Here, your walking tour will begin on the Grand Cours Mirabeau, a wide avenue built on the site of the city's medieval ramparts and shaded by leafy 200-year-old trees. The avenue is lined with wrought-iron balconies and finely carved doorways. Explore the old Mazarin District, founded by Archbishop Michel Mazarin in 1646 and later home to many writers and artists such as Paul Cézanne. The district is also noted for its meticulously kept walled gardens. You will discover beautiful St. Sauveur Cathedral with its many contrasting architectural styles, a legacy of countless additions and renovations performed between the 5th and 18th centuries. Most notable are the remnants of a Roman-era wall that were used in a later wall, and the 15th century Gothic Portal.
Emperor Napoleon I was exiled on the island of Elba for 300 days beginning in May 1814. Trace the history of that fascinating bygone era on this look at one of his two island residences, both of which are now museums. Depending on the day of the week, you may either visit his town residence (Villa dei Mulini), or his country residence (Villa San Martino). Guests visiting the Villa San Martino country home see the Room of the Doves, whose ceiling is adorned with a painting depicting two doves linked by a knotted ribbon that tightens as they fly further away. By way of contrast, the Egyptian Room has a circular ceiling painting featuring a ring of Zodiac signs. Other points of interest include Napoleon's bedroom, dressing room and study as well as the villa's beautifully manicured gardens. (Please note, there is an uphill walk of around 900 feet along a smooth surface to reach this villa.) Alternatively (depending on the day of the week) you may visit the Villa dei Mulini town residence, to explore Napoleon's study, reception hall, bedroom and library. (Please note, there is an uphill walk of around 900 feet along cobbled and uneven surfaces to reach this villa.) A pause at the Porto Azzuro resort area provides a brief and relaxing interlude before your direct return to your yacht.
Combine a visit to the enchanting village of Porto Azzuro with wine tasting at a vineyard once frequented by Emperor Napoleon. After leaving the busy capital of Portoferraio, your 30-minute drive will feature magnificent views of Lacona and Laconella Bays as well as Golfo Stella as you pass rocky beaches and high cliffs. Ahead lies Porto Azzuro, which boasts an ancient medieval fortress and picturesque fisherman's harbor. You will have free time to browse among its many tempting shops. Back aboard the coach you will continue to the Azienda Agricola La Chiusa estate, whose vineyard directly overlooks Portoferraio. This estate hosted Napoleon Bonaparte on two separate occasions. As the vineyard prides itself on quality over quantity, its vines are always pruned very short. During your 1½-hour stay there will be an explanation of wine production at the farmhouse before you will have the opportunity to sample the extra virgin olive oil and taste the wine. After enjoying time at leisure you will take the 30-minute return drive to your yacht at Portoferraio.
Start your walk from the pier with your guide, viewing the elegant shops and boutiques that surround the charming piazzetta along the way. You will walk by the church to the hiking path. The itinerary of the hike can vary depending on your guide, on the weather and path conditions and on the tourists in your group. The first half of the tour is mostly an uphill walk if your tour goes towards Cappelletta, San Sebastiano and Olmi, to reach Molini. You will pass elegant villas nestled among rich tropical vegetation and olive trees. If your tour starts heading towards Paraggi, you will walk along the coastline and then hike up towards Acquaviva and Molini, where an old olive oil mill has been restored, now housing a little museum, a café, and toilets. The path leads the way through the Mediterranean flora, vineyards and olive groves. Vegetation hugs the medieval dwellings and the cliffs drop off to the crystal-clear sea, making this one of the most fascinating locations of the Riviera. Continue walking on to S. Anna and Nozarego and finally you will arrive at the main promenade of Santa Margherita Ligure. Santa Margherita's colors, the arrangement of its characteristic houses, its rich villas and great hotels have painted around its bay something similar to a magical reflection. Pause for refreshment at a café and then you will return to Portofino by minivan, or you may choose to remain in Santa Margherita to stroll around on your own and go back to Portofino by taxi, public ferry or public bus.
Here's a tempting opportunity to visit charming and remote Italian coastal fishing villages that are not easily accessible other than by boat. After a 20-minute cruise, your first stop will be in the little bay of San Fruttuoso Village, the ancient residence of the Doria family. Its splendid natural surroundings are enhanced by the architectural beauty of its church and 10th century abbey. The imposing cliffs encircling the inlet, a small beach and lush Mediterranean vegetation, combined with the almost unreal absence of vehicles, creates a truly unique and enjoyable ambiance. Pause to savor the enchanting views as your boat remains in the bay for 10 minutes. Heading further up the coast you will reach Camogli, a typical small fishing village that was formerly the site of bustling shipyards that helped build one of the world's greatest merchant fleets. Camogli's original medieval setting was centered around a local parish church constructed on an island that was once completely detached from the mainland. Today, it is connected to the mainland by a square surrounded by colorful buildings including one of the Italian coast's most beautiful Baroque churches. During your 1½-hour stay, there will be time for a guided tour followed by free time. Back aboard your private boat, tasty focaccia bread and local wine will be served during the 45-minute return cruise to Portofino.
