An Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper who was hit by a vehicle Wednesday night was showing signs of improvement on Thursday afternoon.
Trooper Brent E. Hill, 26, suffered head trauma and extensive injuries to his leg when he was hit by a car driven by Andrew T. Combs, 22, of Vandalia, while investigating another crash on northbound Interstate 75 near milepost 36.
On Thursday, he was in critical condition but "stable enough to be taken into surgery for his injury to his leg," according to Lt. Anne Ralston, spokesperson for the OSHP.
"That's something positive," Ralston said. "His overall condition appears to be improving somewhat."
Hill is new to the patrol. He graduated from the 153rd OSHP academy class on Feb. 8 and started at the Lebanon post on Feb. 11, where he was paired with his training officer, Trooper Mike Steele, 48. Hill is a 2005 graduate of Franklin High School.
Steele was with Hill investigating the initial crash. Ralston said the officer field training with a veteran is three months long.
Slick roads and multiple accidents
Just after 11 p.m. on Wednesday, Hill and Steele responded to a one-vehicle crash on northbound Interstate 75 between Ohio 122 and Ohio 123. Victoria L. Zaagman, 20, of West Chester Twp. lost control of her 2001 Dodge Neon. Her vehicle went off the left side of the roadway and struck the cement median wall.
Zaagman and her passenger, Hanna J. Cox, 19, also of West Chester Twp., were not injured, and the vehicle sustained disabling damage. Zaagman's blood alcohol content was .049. She was arrested for failure to maintain reasonable control and for operating a vehicle after underage consumption.
Hill was out of the police cruiser investigating when a 1996 Buick Riviera driven by Combs slid on the snowy roadway. The Riviera went off the left side of the roadway, sideswiped the trooper's patrol car, and struck Hill and Zaagman's Neon.
No other injuries were reported. Attempts to reach Combs Thursday were unsuccessful.
Ralston said there are no indications that alcohol was a factor in Combs' crash. Combs was cooperative with investigators, and he was released, pending further investigation. No charges have been filed against Combs.
"We are still working on determining exactly why Mr. Combs lost control of his vehicle," Ralston said. "My understanding was that the road conditions were snowy at the time, but obviously we're still looking into what was the contributing factor."
Hill was transported to Atrium Medical Center in Middletown, then transferred to Miami Valley's Trauma Center.
Northbound I-75 was closed for nearly five hours due to the accidents.
Surrounded by family and friends
Hill's family and fellow troopers were at Miami Valley Hospital on Thursday throughout the day, Ralston said.
"Our primary concern at this point in time is the recovery and care of Trooper Hill," Ralston said. "In addition to that, we are committed to completing a thorough investigation of how this crash happened."
In the latest figures available, 53 officers were killed accidentally while performing their duties in 2011, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The majority — 30 — were killed in automobile accidents. The 2011 number was down 19 from the 2010 total of 72 officers.
Ralston said statewide numbers involving troopers or cruisers being struck alongside the road were not immediately available.
"Yes, these kinds of crashes happen from time to time where a cruiser gets sideswiped, rear-ended or something like this, unfortunately," she said. "Our primary concern is officer safety. We go through extensive training at the academy, through the field training period and throughout a career.
"We want our officers to be as safe as possible when they handle every crash and traffic stop. It's where we spend our career — alongside the road."
Accidental Deaths
In 2011, 53 officers were killed accidentally while performing their duties, with the majority — 30 officers — killed in automobile accidents.
The number of accidental line-of-duty deaths was down 19 from the 2010 total (72 officers).

More on the fiscal cliff let's bring in Bob Cusack is in managing editor of the hill and he joins us now thank you for joining us.
Thanks -- out so we just heard speaker Boehner saying in part that the president's plan is -- slow walk for our economy to the edge of the fiscal -- And if if the president doesn't like the Republicans plan.
He has an obligation to send them one they can pass both houses of congress.
As quickly as possible so what is the middle ground here.
Well they're nowhere near the middle ground and a lot of posturing going on at the -- -- got released another week or two and and the sticking point is that it's tax rates and and that's the -- was asked a question of whether he could be flexible on that.
He he didn't really indicate that he's gonna do that but but Democrats say -- up -- election win he must do that that doesn't mean maybe -- not 250000.
Maybe it's higher where they protect small businesses between 250007.
-- 30000 are a million.
But there's gonna have to be some type a compromise but if Republicans are gonna go for tax rate increases they're gonna have to get significant returns as far as that entitlement reform so.
That's the rub right there.
And then let's talk a little bit more about entitlement reforms as it stands right now the president's plan -- calls for one point six trillion in tax increases.
And at roughly doubles.
The near what was previously suggested and 200 billion in new stimulus spending so what guaranteed cuts is the president offering.
Nothing yet -- he put a lot on the table in the summer of 2011.
When it was Boehner again -- Obama they almost got a grand bargain he talked about raising the Medicare eligibility age to 67 over certain amount of time.
Making some changes to cost of living.
Payments for Social Security.
But down right now there's nothing on the table now that was Obama's opening -- Republicans were -- at that they knew -- they he wouldn't give them exactly what they would accept.
But but a few of them said they were insulted by that.
But -- once again this is that you don't want to negotiate with yourself you wanna start over here and they get in the middle just to set up some type of deal but.
Don't expect any deal until Christmas at the earliest.
All right let's go back to this tax -- -- talking about president -- -- he wants to raise revenue by taxing those making.
About 250000.
Dollars or more a year race for top paid Americans rise from 33% two and 35% today to 36%.
And 39 point 6% I believe.
But that would only generate about 85 billion a year according to the Treasury Department the federal government.
-- spins that amount every eight and a half days -- think that the point is purely political for the presidents since that's what he campaigned on.
Well that's -- speaker Boehner said is that you know Washington has a spending problem not not tax -- -- but speaker Boehner has a political problem and that.
Their party's guy lost the election itself.
There is no doubt about it that that -- the math on both sides -- far apart and if you add up all the revenues that only scandal.
Last for eight days of funding the federal government but that has to be compromises and so we're Republicans are gonna have to give some ground not on taxes.
Whether it's 800 billion or one point six billion maybe one point two trillion -- in that range and then of course -- whatever deal they reach they have to get the votes for.
And that's just the beginning -- this fiscal cliff deal if they reach want that it just the beginning of deal making because it's not gonna solve the problem.
There's going to be more talks going into 2013 on tax reform and dealing with the deficit further well Bob Cusack thank you so much for joining -- -- appreciate it.
Thank you talk a little.

Do you have a taste for healthy foods?
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
7 comments posted
You might not consider flavor as being a key player in prevention of disease or promotion of health. However, your perception of flavors contributes greatly to your acceptance and general liking of foods. For example, if you don't like the taste of vegetables, it's a good bet you avoid them. How then can you eat a healthy, balanced diet?
Instead of focusing on what you don't like, try focusing on what you do. Let's start with sweet — a flavor preference for most people. Did you know that some vegetables — sugar snap peas, red bell peppers and corn — have a sweet taste? Even onions can be sweet when you caramelize them. Another vegetable to try is winter squash. Cut in half or quarter and roast or microwave to have an easy meal of mildly sweet, slightly earthy flavors and soft texture that merits inclusion in the comfort food category. Not sweet enough for you? Peel, dice and roast the squash until slightly brown to experience a sweeter taste.
Maybe sweet isn't your first preference. The following options offer a mild sweetness that along with their other attributes might appeal to you. If you like foods that are crisp and crunchy, try jicama. You can cut it into thin strips and add it to a pita or wrap sandwich. In addition to flavor, you'll get fiber and vitamin C. Cucumbers are another good combination of cool and crisp. Mix them in vinegar for a stronger, pungent flavor.
But perhaps savory flavors are more to your liking. Mushrooms are a good bet. Try them sauteed. Or toss them in a stir fry, on a salad or in a sandwich.
Looking for something spicier? Peppers offer a spectrum of flavors — from mild and earthy to sweet and hot. Stuff a poblano or bell pepper with whole grains, veggies, and grated parmesan or blue cheese. Or add them to soups, salads and casseroles to punch up the flavor and boost the potassium and vitamin C content.
I encourage you to experiment with new foods and familiar foods prepared in new ways. Share your flavorful findings here to inspire others.
To your health,

i have read your article on peppers. i love the fact that you suggest that we can stuff a poblano or bell pepper with whole grains, veggies, and grated parmesan or blue cheese. Or add them to soups, salads and casseroles to punch up the flavor and boost the potassium and vitamin C content.

I just read this site's article on the Mediterranean way of eating and I'm ready to try it. The article mentions that folks in Greece stick primarily to the Mediterranean diet. I'm puzzled since our local Greek community hosts festivals and, wow, the food is anything but Mediterranean! Full of oozy cheese (feta and other), lots of lamb, very oily, and yummie pastries. I'm going to forge on with trying these foods, but do you have any insight into what I experience locally with Greek food and the recommended Mediterranean diet?

Hi Paul - thank you for your comment. Your observation that cooking does alters foods and heat changes naturally occurring carbohydrates and proteins into sweeter substances (caramelization) is correct. You're also correct that caramelization contributes to AGEs. However the role of AGEs and health remain an area of investigation. Their properties seem contradictory: pro- and antioxidant, pro- and anti mutagenic, some think that they are toxic whereas others are exploring their protective properties. Our own bodies naturally produce AGEs too. Practically speaking, it's fortunate that people do not over cook/char foods nor eat them daily – this includes caramelized onions. Also, the point of the blog was to encourage people to explore variety – within food types and cooking methods. I realize that I may take some "heat" for this response.

"Even onions can be sweet when you caramelize them." That would be an unhealthy action since caramelizing anything greatly increases its content of unhealthy advanced glycosylation endproducts (AGEs).

Good tips here. The title of the article drew me in, since I am *guilty-face* one of those people who was corrupted since birth with sweets and sugary drinks. I have been working to eat better, one small step at a time. I have tried cutting out all unhealthy things at once and find that largely impractical. Every trip I go to the grocery store I buy slightly healthier stuff, but still some gummy snacks and other nutrient-less crap food. I try to make it a type of mental game, where I see how long I can make the unhealthy stuff last (by not avoiding eating it). Yes, it's stupid, childish, and overall ridiculous....but hey, it works for me. Hope this might help some other readers... And remember, being a healthier than you were yesterday is always better than doing nothing at all.

With a goal filled game yesterday against Celtic FC Barcelona, led by Neymar's first Barça hat-trick, secured top finish in Group H and will be highly anticipating the draw on Monday that will reveal the club's next opponent.
After failing to secure first place in the group against Ajax a couple weeks ago Barcelona will now have to record at least a point against Celtic at the Camp Nou today.
FIFA yesterday announced the three finalists for the Ballon d'Or, and to no one's surprise the three leading the charge for the coveted award are Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribery.
Things appear to be clearing up a bit for FC Barcelona on the injury front as three players, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Cristian Tello, all returned to training today
Even though the game started on low note with Cartagena starting the scoring, but FC Barcelona responded magnificently and recorded a comfortable 4-1 victory over the minnows.
FC Barcelona will look to return to winning ways today in Cartagena after recording consecutive losses to Ajax and Athletic Bilbao.
After picking up consecutive losses there appears to be no panic in Barcelona and the final training session in preparation for the Copa del Rey match against FC Cartagena has already been concluded.
Carles Puyol just can't stay healthy it appears. After he picked up a knock in training in the previous week the center-back now underwent a procedure to remove fluid that had built up in the knee.
It was a busy day for awards yesterday as both the LFP and Marca handed them out. And no Spanish award ceremony would be complete without Barcelona, or their players, winning at least some of them
Just after their first loss of the season Barcelona went out and lost their second consecutive away game, this one to the always difficult Athletic Bilbao.

Coffee futures continued rising last week as the September contract opened last week at $1.76 per pound and closed the week at $1.8610. Initially we saw a short covering rally that was triggered by the weather that looks to have started mid-June as coffee prices moved up from $1.50.
Looking at the daily chart below, coffee's current trend strength is very strong with ADX at 53. MACD is bullish but is dropping a bit of divergence and Stochastics are overbought but look to want to correct as the market is dropping below 185 today.
On the weekly chart below we see ADX dropping after reflecting a very strong trend down and DI+ crossed up over DI- the last week in June. Stochastics on the weekly chart are just entering overbought territory.
Proceed to Page 2 for the latest COT Data...
So, has the posture of "big money" changed? I would say yes. Look at the Legacy report on the weekly chart below and you can see Commercials have been dropping net longs now at 3,175 contracts and Large Spec have been dropping net shorts now at -1,696 contracts. The more transparent Disaggregated report shows the real picture of "big money" as producers are adding to net shorts now at -24,293 contracts and Swap Dealers have been adding to net longs now at 27,468 contracts. Managed Money has been dropping net shorts now at -5,721 contracts. If Managed Money rises into net long territory and continues moving up I think you can see where coffee will head.
If you need help understanding how to understand how to use the NEW COT report to your benefit get instant access to my new e-book "What Lies Beneath ALL Trends". It is filled with eye opening information.Commercial Net Tracker instructions: This form tracks the Commitment of Traders (COT) data for the commodity futures market. This form "looks" at the most recent five weeks of COT data and provides visual indications of the data. A) If the current value is at a 12-month low, the cell will display a red/burgundy background. B) If the current value is at a 12-month high, the cell will display a green background. C) If the current value went from net negative to net positive, the cell will display a blue background (indicating a bullish condition). D) If the current value is both a 12-month high and also went from a net negative to a net positive, the background will be green. You should view the data with green backgrounds to determine if they also went from net negative to net positive.
Proceed to Page 3 for this week's detailed fundementals...
So, this coming week we will want to see coffee's price action close above and stay above $1.85 as it may test $1.90. News from Brazil showing their wet weather is damaging the quality of its crop helped drop Coffee this week. Continued added buying and selling by "big money" will get coffee prices to do just that. We will see if the July 20 report confirms these moves. Ha a prosperous trading week.

Tell me again what service branch Painetta serve in. These lefties make me want to PUKE!
Just in case you aren´t disturbed enough, combine this bit of news with a potential draft in the future. Opens the door for drafting women now doesn´t it.
This is not progress.Assuming none of the powers that be who thought this was a zippy idea have never served in combat, have they not read any of the books that describe what it is like? Try Sebastian Junger´s War, on Afghanistan. Or any number of books about WWII.We do not see this in the Hollywood versions of war.
Get ready for a spate of sexual harassment lawsuits followed by busted careers of some darn good fighting men. Yep, the military is going down for the sake of liberal ideology.
A bad idea brought to the forefront by a bad member of a bad administration.Bad news - all the way around.
Maybe it is because not enough men are volunteering any more. When they can´t even protect themselves unless they are shot at. The rules of engagement are just plain dumb.
Note the photo of the female soldier wearing a head scarf instead of protective head gear. This is utter foolishness.
my old h.s. sweetheart would like the naked part, which she was, often, at the frat parties - but not with me.
Seems to me our esteemed secretary of state doesn´t shower for at least a month.
I think it´s interesting that this argument always comes down to poor hygene habits amongst males.German Army: We don´t used deodorant in the field!American Army: What if I have to pee in my foxhole?
My sister don´t wanna get draftedShe don´t wanna goWars are really ugly, they´re dirty and they´re cold.I don´t want nobody to shoot her in the foxhole.
Leon served in the First Heavy Pork Division (To the victors go the spoils) fighting to give contracts to Democratic donors while under heavy Republican fire.Barack Obama served in the Very Light Infantry Brigade, The Screaming Metrosexuals, based in Chicago. Hillary claimed in a NY Times article designed to shift focus away from Bill´s draft dodging that she wanted to join military. However, military rejected her because male soldiers didn´t want to risk seeing her naked, showered or not. She did come under fire for Benghazi, but escaped without a scratch.It´s all a farce, and we are the audience.Piñata´s afternoon announcement was designed to shift evening news away from Hillary´s testimony. Longer term, Obama and Hagel will use GOP efforts to keep woman out of combat for more War on Women PR..
#1, exactly. Having been in the military SERVING is important in our top leadership roles - including President.
Chucky Schumer stated that he didn´t know anyone who owned gun. Does Panetta even know a soldier?
Hmmmmmmm, males don`t shower for a month at a time yet female soldiers still get pregnant.How does that work?
I´m a woman and I´m trying to visualize dealing with my period while in a trench with a bunch of guys. No thanks.
The thing is, most women don´t want to be on the front lines. They know they´re not equipped for it in many ways, including strength and temperament.But if a woman can pass all the rigors of training that the men do -- without exception -- then it seems like they´d just be another asset. The social implications are always the monkey wrench, though.
Somebody must have seen the co-ed shower scene in ´Starship Troopers´ and decided that co-ed combat would be really neat.
I don´t think anybody brought it up yet but combat situations often make you really horny, especially when anyone of the opposite sex is around. I understand it is a survival of the species thing. It´s nice of the brass to think about our combat troops and provide them with a little "companionship."
Will Midol be part of the rations?
A soldier called in this morning on Laura Ingraham´s show and said while he was in combat the men didn´t get a shower for 90 DAYS. Some of the women were helicoptered out to give them showers. This is just a disaster of epic proportions. The ramifications of this horrible decision are endless. This is just what 0bama wants, to create chaos everywhere, no matter what segment of society.
Tired women force the guys to choose: I know the guys in training rotate carry the womens´ gear because she just can´t keep up and they have to help her out at the end of the day to keep up with the group.This kind of thinking forces young men to decide to leave behind a flagging female or risk more of them being hurt or worse.How much do I despise this government for forcing good men to make these kind of decisions.
Through the contracting magic of companies like KBR and Fluor there are hot showers and video games and good food at even the smallest FOB´s and COP´s in Afghanistan.Been there.Done that.Got the Tee Shirt.Let´s make the military exclusively female.So next time we lose a war (as we always do)we can simply say: "Big deal...so you beat abunch of girls !!"
Has anyone asked Panetta what he is trying to prove? Once a hack always a hack.
If they can meet the physical stadards without them being waterred down, let them serve.
And what happens when, in the chaos of combat, women lose their Urinary Diversion Devices? What happens when supply lines prioritize, um, ammo and ordinance over boxes of "menstrual suppression pills"?In the meantime, our enemies will be bright enough to know that men make better soldiers than women. Our gender-compromised battalions will be up against the uniformity, and cohesive uncompromised morale, of MEN.You couldn't destruct this country better than if by plan. I wonder…
All women within the right age group need to register with the Selective Service. And, women should not be given the choice to go into combat. Men don´t have a choice, why should women? That means every women needs to meet the same physical standards as men.
The first time a female gets her head chopped off and hung on a bridge pike, I hope someone takes a picture and spreads it all over the internet with a message saying demonrats have reaped what they´ve sown.
This has nothing to do with womens right of equality.It is designed to demoralize our military and to weaken them.Its just another brick in the wall.
If people are so hung up on what is on the outside of a body then how can they respect what is inside the body? For centuries we have been brainwashed into being ashamed of having a normal human body. We are so ashamed that we have to cover up to console our false sense of reality.Someone once told me that we must honor and respect all of God´s creations. Well when it comes to the human body some tell God to "stick it". It´s not really a matter of morals, it´s a matter of what and who we truly are.

The assembly was easy but it's pretty wobbly and you can't tighten the screws too tight or it strips them. My only real complaint is that the finials are cheap looking plastic. If it weren't for that, I would keep it but the plastic finials just make it look cheap.
I purchased this for my daughter who owns a 1920s Arts & Crafts home. The style perfectly accompanies the hardwood floors and wide baseboards. The only thing that was not perfect was the plastic cap on the top. That was easily solved by a trip to purchase a nice finial! Functional yet decorative focal point.
I absolutely love the item, it holds several coats, jackets, hats and umbrellas and yet is does not take much space.
I love this coat rack. I initially bought because my husband kept saying we needed a coat rack, but now I love it and decided to leave it out in the family room. It is nice and very firm.
quality was as expected. Just be aware that the knobs on the top are plastic, not metal like the rest of it. This is the only thing I would have changed. easy to assemble.
I love this coat rack, It goes great with me bistro table in wrought iron . It has class and is of a is stable and sturdy study weight. I put it together in no time. Thanks again to the O!!!
This coat rack was exactly what I was looking for.
I was looking for a coat and umbrella rack to fill a spot by the front door. I am very pleased with the quality and appearance of the Bretton coat rack. If anything I wish it was just a little bit taller.
Looks good but its cheaply made. My husband put it together and those were his exact words.
I wanted a coat rack for more decorative purposes for a corner, and did not want to spend too much. This product fit the bill! It was fairly easy to assemble and looks great. I do hang a few coats on it; it's a little wobbly, but not to an extent where I would return it or not recommend it. I think it could hold several heavy coats, and hold up fine.

Folks, See this article for details. I think we all understand that porkbarrel spending is one of the many serious problems in our government today. So I guess my question is - is it OK when it's "our" pork? Some of you may have heard that $1 million was recently obtained in just such a way for a Civil War museum in Richmond. What really disgusted me was that it was pinned onto the National Defense spending bill i.e. the money our guys in Iraq and Afghanistan need. Please understand that I'm not naive, and I fully understand how government works. So I guess I can't really explain why this particular earmark strikes me as so unseemly, but it does. Would like to hear the opinions of others. Is pork bad unless it's our pork? |

I'm an outsider, being a Canadian. But my own thinking is that adding provisions to a bill, ANY bill that is not relevant TO that bill should be illegal. Either funding like this should be placed in seperate bills or quite, frankly, in time of war or a national emergency, ignored. I think if the American public treasures it's heritage as much I've always thought it did, it could be called on to donate privately to these projects.

Good or bad, lawmakers are supposed to "bring home the pork." Over the years, though, it has gotten really out of hand. It's difficult to provide an easy answer to the questions. Ideally, each project should be able to stand on its own. We know that's not how it works, though. I suspect this project was one of those "last minute" add-ons to the bill--ensuring that it would get funded. Does that make it right? Probably not. Obtaining private foundation funding for historical projects is quite difficult. The "pie" isn't very large and there are lots of grant applications competing for that "slice of the pie." |

It's difficult to provide an easy answer to the questions No it's not, a line item veto for the president solves everything. Not that the current president is exercising his power to veto like he should but that is another topic. |

Not needed David, as Reagan proved when he sent a budget bill back to Congress because of too much pork. All you really need is a President that actually stands for something, but as you say, that's another topic |

Oh that would be great politcial fodder on critical budget issues like uparmoring Humvees and flak jackets for the troops. I'm not disagreeing with you, a principled president like Reagan could send the message and cut out the majority of the pork after two or three vetos but I'm not sure in today's political and press climate it would work. The line item veto would IMO put the focus back where it belongs on the congressmen and make them justify and get others on their side to override the president's veto, if the pork was worth it. Of course the down side is the folks at home would get visibility to what their "Bird" was doing for them and keep sending him whistling back to congress after each election. Okay, here's a solution, lets rotate the districts every election, next election my district gets to vote for the representatives and Senators in Massachusetts. That would fix some problems. |

Okay, here's a solution, lets rotate the districts every election Right away you want to mess with the districts - I can tell what state you're in Can't wait till the Haight-Ashbury crowd gets to vote on yours! Now David and I will attempt to sheath our jousting swords within this topic (but I can't wait till someone opens a "modern politics" topic within the lounge) |

Yeah that's the down side to that idea isn't it? But it might make great reality TV it's a lot like Trading Spouses. My congresswife would be the prim and proper home schooler stuck with the leather wearing swinging husband with foul mouthed kids who sleep until noon, I couldn't do that to her!!! |

Atrium plans to expand new HQ even more when it moves from Hudson to Merrimack
Dec. 06--MERRIMACK -- The new headquarters for device manufacturer Atrium Medical Corp. will be even bigger, after the town's approval of an extra 11,000 square feet for the expansion of a former Fidelity Investments property at 40 Continental Blvd.
The Planning Board on Tuesday approved Atrium's request to add extra space to the 90,000-square-foot addition it already planned to make to the existing 115,000-square-foot facility. The addition will give the new headquarters a footprint of almost a quarter of a million square feet.
Atrium is moving its headquarters and production facility from Sagamore Industrial Park in south Hudson some time in the next year and a half.
It was in the 140,000-square-foot building on Wentworth Drive for 17 years, but is outgrowing that space.
It has said the move and extra space will let it add some 250 employees to its current 450 employees in the near future.
The Merrimack Planning Board approved the expansion in June.
"After that, (Atrium was) working with architects, looking at internal processes, warehousing, and did some reconfiguration," said Tim Thompson, Merrimack Community Development director.
The additional space on the addition's northeast corner required a shift in an emergency access drive and a modification of the parking area. It did not require any change to the stormwater management system.
The final plans will be brought back to the board in the next few weeks, and approval seems likely, after which construction can begin.
Atrium has been in southern New Hampshire since it was founded 31 years ago. It was bought in October 2011 for $680 million by Swedish company Getinge Group and its subsidiary, Maquet Cardiovascular.
Atrium develops and manufactures a variety of medical devices for the treatment of coronary and vascular disease, chest trauma, hernias and soft-tissue injury. It has international offices in England, Germany, France, India, Australia and the Netherlands.
