Mirceo - while I do not doubt your observation this means that there is need for explanation. Maybe my calculation or the advertised separation is wrong.

EdZ has remarked here some time ago that with higher magnifications one can see something of this effect, of overlapping discs; whereas at moderate magnification, one sees an apparently clean split. Based on my own observing I'm not sure how much of this effect is from scattered light, including diffuse spreading of light due to various factors (atmosphere, optical issues), and how much might be what EdZ takes it to be.
I do know that my recent observation of Zeta Bootis did not appear to have overlapping discs - given the large CO of my SCT (36%) that would reduce the diffraction discs' size a little, so the effect I saw, at what would be the Dawes Limit for an unobstructed telescope, was a good fit for what I expected - two discs almost touching. As I had reached 470x to get this view I didn't try higher powers to check for an appearance of disc overlap.
So I'm inclined to think the suggestion that we don't usually see the outer parts of the diffraction disc because it falls below the eye's detection threshold is correct, which is why we see an appearance of separate discs with pairs closer than optical theory allows. The theory is correct in describing what's there; but our eyes don't see the whole story. Spurious discs look smaller than the true diffraction discs.

The rapid decrease of light in the successive rings will sufficiently explain the visibility of two or three rings with a very bright star and the non-visibility of rings with a faint star. The difference of the diameters of the central spots (or spurious disks) of different stars ... is also fully explained. Thus the radius of the spurious disk of a faint star, where light of less than half the intensity of the central light makes no impression on the eye, is determined by [s = 1.17/a], whereas the radius of the spurious disk of a bright star, where light of 1/10 the intensity of the central light is sensible, is determined by [s=1.97/a].
I'm suggesting that a similar threshold effect applies to all diffraction discs in terms of how we see them. There is this differentiation between brighter and fainter stars; but even the brighter stars don't allow the full size of the diffraction disc to be seen.

The black space between the stars was really thin and fluctuating but it was there at 320x ,without any doubts.
With my smaller Dobsonian of 125mm F/7, I was not able to go deeper than 1''.This have 28% CO but generally provide much nicer images on double stars.
Posted 24 May 2013 - 08:41 AM
I'll experiment with some Dawes Limit pairs, and try much higher powers to find out if I can see more of the diffraction disc by using more than the minimum power needed, as some have suggested. Distinguishing that from scattered light from atmosphere effects and optical limitations may not prove easy.
Posted 24 May 2013 - 11:44 AM
... I'll experiment with some Dawes Limit pairs...
Would be of interest as it could very well be that a +6mag spurious disk is less than 40% of the Airy disk because this would explain such observations.
Posted 24 May 2013 - 05:47 PM
Airy disk for 235mm without CO = 1.18"
Airy disk for 235mm with 0.36 CO = 1.04"
Spurious disk 60% assumed = 0.624"
With a separation of 0.6" this would mean a minor overlap and therefore no dark space between the spurious disks but
- the size of the spurious disk should be a bit smaller due to the fact that CO not only reduces the size of the Airy disk but also the amount of energy in the Airy disk and therefore in the spurious disk. Same visual theshold with less energy should result in a smaller spurious disk
- separation 0.6" does not sound very precise and could mean 0.56" to 0.64" - if the latter ...
- may be the spurious disk size for +4.5mag stars is not 60% but 55% of Airy disk. Have not yet found a precise algorithm here.
The first factor alone makes your observation of Zeta Boo with dark space between the spurious disks plausible according to the rules of diffraction theory.
Mircea, again the calculation for your observation of Eta CrB with some modifications:
Airy disk for 200mm without CO = 1.38"
Airy disk for 200mm with 0.227 CO = 1.3"
Spurious disk assumed (to be on the save side with only) 50% = 0.65"
With a separation of 0.6" this would mean a minor overlap and therefore no dark space between the spurious disks but as Fred mentioned the separation may be rather 0.67". Together with the argument that the energy loss due to CO may reduce the size of the spurious disk a bit more makes your observation plausible within the rules of the diffraction theory.
Question for me remains the actual size of the spurious disk in % of the Airy disk depending on magnitude. This 50% or 60% or less or more seems so far not more than (hopefully educated) guessing.
Second for me open question is the potential additional reduction of the size of the spurious disk due to the CO caused energy loss in the Airy disk. Further investigation needed.

Thank you,your explanation is an eye opener for me.
Last night I was trying to duplicate the split of Eta CrB with the 8 inch Dobsonian at 200x/Radian 6mm,but I had not any chance.The turbulence was high and fast moving clouds were crossing the sky,I was trying my luck observing trough sucker holes.
When clouds covered Eta CrB ,I was jumping to clear corners of the sky.This way I revisited
Polaris,Izar,Saturn,Mizar,Albireo and Delta Cyg,all resolved,only Eta CrB remaining just a fuzzball.Then I noticed masive clouds comming from South-West.I made a final try at Eta CrB,seeing only the same annoying fuzzball.I continued to look as clouds become thicker.
The image start to fade and ,from a certain moment, to become clearer until the eight shape of the touching spurious disks become visible.After about two minutes from noticing the eight shape,Eta CrB was no more visible in the telescope.

With a 15" f/4.5 reflector fitted with a Paracorr lens on a night of very good seeing (Pickering 7):
Eta: 398x (Pentax 5mmXW): resolved; 498x (UO 4mm): barely a split with a thin black line; 569x (3.5mm Pentax XW): clearly split to two evenly matched light yellow stars--beautiful.
Gamma: [observed using a newly installed Antares Optics 1/30 wave secondary]: 220x (9T6): elongated; 398x: beautifully resolved-----and then a huge fog bank rolled into sight and its been cloudy up until tonight. I need to finish this one for the split--guessing the 4UO may do the trick or the 3.5 Pentax.
Tonight I revisited these with my 8" f/5.9 reflector (also fitted with a Paracorr lens). I wanted to make sure I could observe at high power for extended periods, so my equatorial platform was used for tracking. I really wasn't expecting much but felt the data was important nonetheless. The seeing tonight was excellent--easily an 8 on the Pickering scale. The results were amazing to me:
Eta: 395x (Pentax 3.5mm XW): definitely elongated; 460x (3 mm Radian): classic peanut shape on the border of elongated and resolved; 550x (Pentax 2.5 mm XO): resolved! no question 2 objects were seen.
Gamma: 460x: single star; 550x: clearly elongated indicating two entities.
The Dawe's limit for this 8 inch telescope is computed to be 0.57"---I think I got really close to it tonight.
Posted 15 June 2013 - 02:23 PM
Congratulations,I'm envious on your equipment and I see you have such a good seeing there too!Those high magnifications are out of question at my location.
Last night I revisited Eta Cr B on a Pickering 6/7 sky.At 200x/Radian 6mm,the two discs were clearly visible,in an eight shape.I spent at least half an hour looking and looking again at that beautiful image.
Next I increased to 320x/Celestron ''orange'' 7.5mm Plossl+2x ''no name'' Japanese Barlow and at times,fluctuating,the black space between the components was there.But the image was not so pretty like at 200x,so after obtainig the proof of split,I returned at lower magnifications and nicer images.
I had no luck with Zeta Boo and Gamma Boo which I courted.
Posted 15 June 2013 - 07:42 PM
I spent at least half an hour looking and looking again at that beautiful image.
Many of my double star entries contain the word "beautiful". I had no idea what a satisfying endeavor double star observing was when I first forayed into astronomy. ( I am still addicted to faint fuzzies, for what it is what).

Today finds Pitchfork, the Daily News, and Stereogum all in a tizzy about David Byrne reuniting with Brian Eno for a new album. Well, media suckas, we actually gave you that scoop last month when Mr. Cindy Sherman played a set of new material with Norah Jones, Damien Rice, and some of the Scissor Sisters crew at this event.
And here's the thing: When MTV News got a listen at that show, it was clear that Byrne's new, Eno-rific tune marked a return to his earlier, world music-crazy days. Producer CJ Smith, who was on the scene, writes in:
That's all I remember thinking when hearing him play it: "Man, this sounds like some African sh– again." I mean, it's sort of ironic after his public circle jerk of love for Vampire Weekend to return to that vein.
So…what? Would an amazing new, Afro-tinged album from Byrne 'n Eno effectively knock the legs out from under the boys of Vampire Weekend? What do you think?

Though chef Rachel Yang has a Korean accent, the noodles she and husband Seif Chirchi roll out at Revel mark a less traditional approach to Asian eats. I can't say which I crave more: their delicately flavored knife-cut basil noodles with clams or the bold egg noodles with smoked pork belly, sauerkraut and chiles.
Doing the same in a Vietnamese vein at Monsoon, chef Sophie Banh brings a perfectionist's sensibility to her pho. For a few bucks more than you'd pay at the corner pho shop, her Vietnamese rice-noodle soup elevates the classic to something more than just a sum of its parts (oxtail broth, marbled Wagyu beef).

Ramen is also showcased at the new izakaya, Showa, its broth a brilliant balance of pork, chicken and clams, its pork belly a tender mercy, the bamboo shoots a textural revelation.

As so many successful dieters can attest, if you want to succeed at losing weight it helps to pay attention not only to what you eat but also to what you write. As you follow the South Beach Diet, writing down what you put into your mouth each day may help keep you from overeating. In fact, the National Weight Control Registry, a well-regarded, long-term weight-loss study, found that journaling is one of the most powerful tools used by people who have lost weight and kept it off. Here, four more reasons to start a food diary today:
be more aware of mindless eating.
Quick: What did you eat yesterday? Sure, you can remember your meals, but what about those mindless between-meal nibbles? On the South Beach Diet we recommend a protein- and fiber-rich midmorning and midafternoon snack, but it's often easy to overlook the other little bites you may inadvertently indulge in throughout the day. And they can add up. Writing everything down will help you become more aware of your previously unacknowledged eating habits.
discover your diet detours.
Are you a late-night refrigerator raider? Do you find yourself hitting the vending machine to beat midafternoon fatigue at the office because you forgot to bring healthy snacks with you? Do you indulge in sweets when you're unhappy, stressed, or even, paradoxically, when you're especially happy? Knowing what your eating triggers are will help keep you on track. To break bad habits, you should record not only what and when you eat but also the circumstances that prompted you to overindulge and make those unhealthy choices in the first place.
see your progress at a glance.
If you're committed to losing weight and improving your health, your food diary will give you a glimpse at the progress you're making. Just compare entries from week to week. If you're staying on track, you'll note a downturn in refined carbs, sugars, and unhealthy fats and see an uptick in healthier options, including heart-healthy vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Simply seeing all those smart food choices at a glance will be positive reinforcement as you work toward your health and weight-loss goals.
We make
it easy for you!
The best part? The My Journal tool on South Beach Diet Online allows you to log your foods and track your progress with ease. You can also jot down your thoughts and feelings, sort through challenges you've faced, and record your successes. Not a member? Sign up to join the South Beach Diet Online today and get access to the My Journal tool today.

Apropos of the column Time to hold nerve, and rates (FE, December 18), the gap of 3% between WPI and CPI has been there since the new series of CPI has come. CPI, during the last 2-3 years, has been above 9%. The hike in interest rate by RBI almost about three years ago was on account of inflation going up. However, it cooled down in between and RBI responded very quickly to cut down interest rates. The cumulative factors are responsible for inflation going up. CPI, which has been considered in the decisions on interest rates, has not come down below 9% in the last three years. This was the period when global conditions were also not favourable. The impact of high inflation is seen on wages, which had to go up in consonance with the rate of inflation. There is very little chance that a wage-earner whose wages are inflation-indexed would think of cutting down expenditure. But in the unorganised sector, there are workers who are paid nominal wages and are not protected from inflation. As inflation becomes generalised, no monetary authority can afford to reduce interest rates in this situation.

22Dec 2010
The British Land Company PLC ("British Land") and Oxford Properties ("Oxford"), the real estate arm of the OMERS Worldwide Group of Companies ("OMERS"), are pleased to confirm that contracts have now been signed for a 50:50 joint venture to develop the 610,000 sq ft Leadenhall Building at 122 Leadenhall St, EC3.
Designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners, the elegant tapering 47 storey, 736 ft (224m) Leadenhall Building will become one of the tallest and most iconic buildings in the Square Mile. It will combine spectacular landscaped open space, retail and dining facilities with modern, flexible office space in the heart of the City's insurance district. The seven storey landscaped open space at the base of the building, covering nearly half an acre, will be on a scale unprecedented in London.
The efficient and adaptable floor plates, which range from 21,000 sq ft at the base of the building to 6,000 sq ft at the top of the tower, are already generating strong interest from a broad range of occupiers from across the insurance, financial, professional and corporate business sectors.
Detailed planning consent is in place and demolition and preliminary basement works have already been completed, with practical completion to shell and core scheduled for mid 2014. British Land and Oxford will combine their significant real estate experience to co-develop Leadenhall, with British Land acting as lead development manager.
The total development cost is expected to be around £340 million (excluding interest). British Land has contributed the site at an effective land value of £90 million. Oxford will contribute the next £90 million in cash for the costs of preparing and commencing the development with further development costs shared on a 50:50 basis thereafter. British Land's contribution in addition to the land will be around £125 million.
Chris Grigg, Chief Executive of British Land, said: "Our partnership with Oxford Properties, brings together two leading property companies with proven development and asset management expertise. We believe that the Leadenhall Building will provide the City of London with a unique combination of iconic architecture with world-class public and office spaces."
Paul Brundage, Executive Vice President, Senior Managing Director Europe of Oxford Properties said: "We are delighted to be partnering with British Land on the Leadenhall project. In terms of both strategy and approach British Land is strongly aligned with Oxford Properties' own objectives, making us well placed as partners to ensure that 122 Leadenhall meets its potential to become one of the most successful developments in London. In investment terms, this project is also consistent with Oxford Properties' strategic goals and is further evidence of our long-term commitment to, and confidence in, the London market."

Gwendolyn's Pumpkin Cranberry Bread
It was a dark and stormy night and the wind was howling outside
the small clapboard-sided cottage high on the cliff overlooking
Sherwood Forest B&B. Gwendolyn was baking her traditional
Pumpkin Cranberry Bread that she always brought down to the
big house for the first night of the Festival of the Dead.
It was her favorite, and she knew those below would love it.
Alas, this time, Gwendolyn never showed, and she was never
seen again. The windows in her small cottage are said to glow
on the eve of the festival, and though unexplainable, a loaf
of freshly baked bread appears in our kitchen the next morn.
2 1/4 cups flour
¼ tp. ground cloves
½ tp. ground ginger
1 tp. cinnamon
2 tp. baking powder
½ tp. salt
2 eggs
1 ½ cups sugar
1 ¾ cups pumpkin puree (15-oz. can)
½ cup vegetable oil
1-cup fresh or dried cranberries
Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl and stir to blend.
Combine eggs through oil in a bowl and beat on low speed until
smooth. Add the flour mixture, and then stir in cranberries.
Pour into 1 large and 1 small loaf pan and bake at 325 degrees
for 1 hour (large loaf) and 35 minutes (small loaf)-or until
knife inserted comes out clean. May be frozen. Serves 10-15.

SAIL's stock has fallen 32% over the past one year, thanks to poor results over the past few quarters. However, delays in project expansions and high valuation still make the stock unattractive. The company is expanding its capacity by 7.8 MT by FY15.
With captive iron ore resources, these new plants can generate higher margins. However, delays in project execution over the past few quarters have cast a shadow on the scheduled commissioning of these projects. Besides, SAIL's inventory levels have risen by 0.3 MT to 1.7 MT in the December quarter due to lower sales volumes.

Please supply the correct answer.
The Quality Scholars Program at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center includes:
The training period will be three years. The duration of the training program may be reduced if a candidate already has an MS, MPH, PhD or DrPH in epidemiology or other relevant field.
The Master of Science in Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) at the University of Cincinnati will provide one important foundational element of the program. Most are likely to select the clinical epidemiology / clinical effectiveness track. All scholars will take the health services research course that is part of the clinical epidemiology / clinical effectiveness track.
All scholars will participate in sequenced training in quality-improvement methods through participation in several courses and mentored projects.
Intermediate Improvement Science Series
The course is designed to prepare quality-improvement leaders to practice, teach and lead improvement efforts. Led by Uma Kotagal and Gerry Kaminksi, DA, participants are expected to complete an improvement project and achieve improvement in outcome and / or process measures to demonstrate competence in improvement science. The course takes place in six two-day sessions. The heterogeneous cohort of participants across institutional roles stimulates interaction and learning and instantiates the focus on understanding the Cincinnati Children's healthcare organization as a system.
Advanced Improvement Methods Seminar
This course, led by Maria Britto, Peter Margolis and Lloyd Provost, MS, teaches physician- and doctoral-level faculty advanced improvement methods, including advanced use of control charts and the design and analysis of complex factorial experiments, to stimulate the use of more advanced methods and prepare faculty to undertake quality-of-care research. The seminar also involves application of these methods to a specific project. The goal is to produce faculty expert in quality-improvement methods who can apply and teach advanced methods. The course is offered as four two-day sessions over a one-year period.
Each scholar will be involved in a series of mentored health services or quality-improvement research experience. Scholars will develop the projects in collaboration with their mentor and other advisers. Attention will be devoted to ensuring that each project is manageable, with a high likelihood of successful completion, and that it contains elements of design, implementation and analysis that make it an appropriate vehicle for training.
Scholars will participate in at least two improvement projects aimed at the direct application of quality-improvement methods in clinical and public health settings: one as part of the intermediate improvement methods course; and one advanced, using formal methods of planned experimentation during the advanced improvement methods session. A full range of ongoing improvement projects are available through Cincinnati Children's and partnering organizations.
Scholars will be expected to produce a thesis for a graduate degree and manuscripts based on their research that are suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
Mentoring will play a key role in the program because it is as important to embarking on a successful research career as is didactic coursework. Each incoming scholar will be assisted by the director and core faculty in identifying a small team of mentors, typically three or four faculty members who will comprise the Scholarship Oversight Committee. These mentor teams will consist of an academic adviser from within the Quality Scholars Program, the scholar's division director or designee, a primary research mentor, and one or two other faculty selected by the student.
Quality Scholars will participate in relevant leadership training courses offered through Cincinnati Children's education and training such as the leadership foundations or change leader courses.
Quality Scholars Conference
A bi-weekly conference will enable fellows to present their research and improvement projects in the early phase of their development and to gain exposure to the process of developing research and improvement ideas.
Health Services Research and Quality-Improvement Research Conference
This bi-weekly conference is an opportunity for faculty and fellows interested in quality-improvement research to seek the input of their colleagues on new ideas and projects at various stages of development.
Other Conferences
Other conferences and meetings that provide opportunities for scholars to deepen their understanding of quality-improvement methods include:
3333 Burnet Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45229-3026 | 1-513-636-4200 | 1-800-344-2462 | TTY:1-513-636-4900

South Africa Law
Ask a South Africa Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
HI Mike,
We have a daughter who will turn 6 in November... We were married in 2000, so 13 years, but we were together before that for about 7 years... She currently isn;t working which is probably one of the problems we have as this puts a strain on my financial resources
I should also have mentioned that our only assets are material - fiscally we only have debt, no savings or policies. My concerns really are over the legal aspects as I believe that we are subject to Dubai law as we do not reside in South Africa currently. As Dubai law is based in Sharia law, I do not want to leave my wife and child in the lurch. I would be happy to pass on all physical assets to her and of course, offer child support for the future. I would only need to ensure that I can start a new life and still be able to recover from the debt...
Would the same hold true if my wife was gainfully employed? She has not contributed financially since we arrived in Dubai six years ago...
This may sound a bit strangean but what effect would infidelity have..? can imagine that if my wife was unfathful, there would be a difference, but given this situation, would there be a financial difference if I was the one 'found out'? haven't yet, but there have been opportunities that I haven't pursued, but if this would expediate the divorce without any negative financial impact, it might be worth letting her find out about a 'relationship' even if it isn't an actual one...
She does have an FB account... You're right about Sharia law - sex out of wedlock is illegal and punishable by jail time and/or deportation - to be honest it's probably the biggest reason I haven't pursued any of the opportunities I've had and not so much a sense of loyalty to the wife. I have consulted the Dubai Court and the process seems pretty straight forward, I'm not sure what the settlement laws are though. Doesn't the fact that her lifestyle has left me in debt count for anything? I mean I can't afford 'the lifestyle to which she has become accustomed' now. Much less if I have to pay for 2 households... She quite simply refuses to work as she wants the best care for our daughter - if she works, we'll need a nanny which she refuses to do...
I'll do that... Many thanks. Can you recommend anyone or should I just use Google?

In Buffalo, you get all four seasons: bright, warm summer afternoons, crisp autumn mornings, fresh spring buds, and of course, white powdery snow.
Did you know that Buffalo has the sunniest and driest springs and summers in the northeast? Spring is a perfect time to walk along the waterfront or in the city's Frederick Law Olmsted-designed parks and watch Buffalo bloom. Summers are packed with festivals nearly every weekend, garden walks, farmers markets, boating on Lake Erie and live outdoor concerts downtown. And it's the perfect season to take part in one of the city's many architectural tours and garden walks.
In fall, the Buffalo Bills take the field at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, and families drive along country roads to check out the incredible foliage, grab some fresh cider, and go apple or pumpkin picking. And let go of the old stereotypes about Buffalo winters, because you're in store for some of the best skiing in the northeast, sledding and fun, quirky winter festivals.

text: Few Southern California communities offer so much family fun as the sunny enclave of West Covina. For the kid (or kid at heart) who dreams of the Big Leagues, a drive in your West Covina rental car to the one-of-a-kind West Covina Sportsplex will bring that dream to life. Here, sports fans can enjoy batting cages, an ice hockey rink, and replicas of iconic ball parks, from Yankee Stadium to Wrigley Field. If history buffs are in tow, delight them with the Hurst Ranch Historical Center, an interactive experience unlike any other where kids and adults alike can learn about 100 year old farming techniques hands-on, while they work a butter churn and climb aboard antique tractors. For some tasty local flavor, check out the West Covina Street Festival and Farmers' Market, featuring everything from fresh local produce and tempting homemade treats to unique art pieces crafted by local artists. With so much to see and do in West Covina, a Dollar car rental is the best way to see it all!

According the a recent sleep study, these are five things that help you sleep LONGER:
1. Doing Yoga before bed adds 64 minutes of sleep time, and also improves the quality of your sleep more than anything else.
2. If you have kids, having a small child in bed with you will add about 24 minutes of sleep, but it hurts the quality of your sleep more than anything else. So, you sleep longer, but not as well.
3. Being in a calm mood before going to bed adds 24 minutes of sleep.
4. Having an adult partner in bed with you adds 21 minutes of sleep.
5. Taking a hot shower before bed adds about 6 minutes of sleep.

In an act of urgency, Supervalu (NYSE:SVU) fired its CEO Craig Herkert July 30 and replaced the former Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) executive with Chairman Wayne Sales. Many will see this as a last ditch effort to avoid bankruptcy. However, those willing to look beyond the obvious flaws of its business will find a speculative investment worthy of consideration.

Micro Cap
Investopedia Broker Guides: Enhance your trading with the tools from today's top online brokers.
Micro Cap
It's not often that you'll read about a micro-cap stock at Investopedia, but this situation is different. Supervalu had fiscal 2012 revenues of approximately $36.1 billion employing 130,000 people. It's no tiny company. As recently as 2008 it had $44 billion in revenue and $1.7 billion in operating profits. Its operating margin in 2008 was 3.8%, 50 basis points (BPS) higher than Kroger (NYSE:KR) and just 40 BPS less than Safeway (NYSE:SWY). Once upon a time (2007) it was holding its own in the ultra-competitive grocery business with a market cap of $7.9 billion. Then the wheels fell off. It's Wayne Sales' job to right the ship and while it's a Herculean task, he knows what he's doing.
SEE: Becoming A CEO
Different Pedigree
Different Pedigree
While Herkert spent five years at the upper echelon of Walmart management, his hiring as CEO of Supervalu in May 2009 was a homecoming of sorts, having spent 23 years prior to that working for American Stores and Albertsons. He seemed to have the right stuff. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to cut prices and costs quickly enough to remain relevant to consumers. Wayne Sales has been chairman since 2006, so in many respects he's also been responsible for what's transpired. However, as CEO he gets the operational reins he didn't have up to this point. Hopefully, he can work fast because Supervalu doesn't have a lot of time. When he took over as CEO of Canadian Tire (OTC:CDNAF) in 2000, its shares were suffering. Taking the existing strategy and emphasizing execution, Sales was able to significantly improve its profitability. As a result the share price increased 400% in his six-year tenure, and Canadian Business magazine named him CEO of the Year in 2005, his last full year at the helm. Sales' reputation as a team player will make the task at hand that much easier to accomplish. I'm sure he didn't want to step back into the day-to-day operations at age 62 but circumstances require that he do so. By this time next year we should know if it was worth it.
Smaller Footprint
In a brief statement, Sales indicated that it will focus on its smaller (15,000 square feet versus 50,000) Save-A-Lot format that caters to urban and rural areas that are underserved by grocery stores. It owns 397 stores with another 935 locations licensed to independent operators. Its top metro areas include Cleveland, Nashville and Tampa. Most of the products it sells are private labels which help customers save money. In its first quarter ended June 16, Save-A-Lot contributed just 12.2% of sales, yet its operating earnings accounted for 26.5% of its total operating profit while stores like Albertsons in its retail food segment generated 64.4% of revenues but only 44.4% of operating earnings. Save-A-Lot's operating margin in the first quarter was 310 BPS higher than the retail food segment at 4.6%. It's hard to know if it could unload its retail food segment to other grocery retailers at this point, but Sales obviously sees the potential of Save-A-Lot despite year-over-year operating margins declining by 80 BPS. Any way you slice it it's not going to be easy.
The Bottom Line
Five short years ago, Supervalu was solidly in the mid-cap category trading at slightly more than $43 a share. Today, it's trading at $2.58. If you've got money you can afford to lose - not your kid's education fund - this is a very interesting speculative investment. I'm not saying it's going to work out but Wayne Sales has a history of getting things done. That means a lot when it comes to turnarounds.
At the time of writing, Will Ashworth did not own shares in any of the companies mentioned in this article.

I love vacations, though they're a little different now that The Toddler (yes, that's trademarked) is around. Before, when we were heading out somewhere, I'd look at my physical to-be-read pile (see below, and no, that's not an exaggeration, even with my Kindle) and pick out four or five. These days, I make sure my Kindle is loaded up and that I have my charger with me.
I have to say, the only thing that's bad about this situation versus what I used to do is that I can't read my Kindle in bright sunlight wearing my sunglasses. But the advantages far outweigh that issue. The Kindle is lighter and smaller than a pile of books. I don't have to wonder who's staring at one of the erotic romance covers of the books I read and judging me. Take note that I don't really care if I'm being judged for what I read, but the hubby is a little more paranoid about stuff like that and obviously, being the loving wife I am *looking skyward for lightning*, I don't want him to feel embarrassed.
It was really nice when, in October 2011, hubs, The Toddler, and I went on a short vacation with my parents. One night my dad and I went for a walk and then sat outside on one of many swings. We talked for a while and then we both read. I had my Nook at that time, and he had a physical book. We were in Norfolk, Virginia, so it was still warm in October, and we just hung out and read.
Do you read on vacation? If so, do you ever read anything different from your usual? Do you read physical books or are you an ereader addict like I am? And now I will leave you with a picture of my friend John Quinlan, who's a romance novel cover model. By the by, his images are free for authors to use. FMI http://www.johnquinlan.org.

Watch Downton Abbey Actors Take On Breaking Bad Roles In Breaking Abbey
By Leslie Kasperowicz 3 years ago comments
Both Downton Abbey and Breaking Bad fans are waiting impatiently for new episodes, but Stephen Colbert has come to the rescue of both with a hilarious mash-up of the two shows on Thursday. Starring the men of Downton, the clip has Lord Grantham turning into a drug kingpin with the assistance of the trusty Carson and the less trustworthy Thomas.
The clip, titled "Breaking Abbey" is Colberts offering to his Nation who, unlike First Lady Michelle Obama, dont have special access to an early copy of the new season of Downton. The genteel men of the Abbey have been forced to cook up a batch of the Earl Blue and sell it on the streets to keep the village tea tweekers in their cups. The three cook up a batch while Lord Grantham declares that soon Downton will be kicking it with mad bitches and Benjamins, and then meet up with their buyer in the desert, calling cards and all. But it turns out someone has turned on Lord Grantham and sold his recipe and heads will roll. Or rather, caps will be popped.
Downton Abbeys third season hits the air stateside on January 6th, while Breaking Bad will wrap up its final season this summer. In the meantime, enjoy Colberts little gift to fans everywhere, and remember, as Lord Byron once said, mo money, mo quandaries.

Experience life in the 1950s by putting your feet up on the couch, playing a record, peeking in drawers, and rolling in the grass in a full-size prefabricated Lustron home built inside the museum at the Ohio History Center.
Expect to see items like a 1957 Chevy Bellaire, an Airstream trailer, Roy Rogers toys and decorations, a bomb shelter hatch, 1950s television news and programs, and a combination clothes and dishwasher! Stop by at the right time and you may get to meet a Lustron salesperson on the front lawn, a doctor making a house call, or a mother making a cake in the kitchen.
Importantly, the exhibit is not all fun and games, but also offers an investigation of the 1950s that goes beneath the glossy, fun pop culture of the time period to examine the challenging and darker undercurrents of the decade. While our cultural memory "remembers" the 1950s as a time of poodle skirts, rock n' roll, and ideal family roles, this exhibit will invite visitors to dig below the surface to see the lives of real people. Building the American Dream explores the complexity of the time and offers the opportunity to understand and reflect on some of the prevailing myths of the decade.
With the Lustron home as the literal frame to experience the decade, the exhibit invites visitors to explore the complex social environment of a "real" nuclear family from Central Ohio living in a Lustron home during the 1950s: a father, mother, boy, and new baby girl. Through this family, visitors can encounter three themes that define the decade:
The exhibit will be on display at the Ohio History Center until 2018.
Admission: $10/Adults, $9/Seniors, $5/Children 7-12, Free/Children 6 and under, Free/Ohio History Connection Members.
Hours: Wednesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sunday, noon-5 p.m.
Location: Ohio History Center is located at 800 E. 17th Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43211. Click here for a map.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Officials in an Ohio county say a $3 million project to relocate a road away from a military base is necessary for security reasons and will help keep the facility open.
The Dayton Daily News reports that moving the road away from the Springfield Air National Guard base is necessary to satisfy post-9/11 military security standards.
Officials say moving the 1.4 miles of Ohio 794 will help keep the base open and preserve the 1,000 or so jobs there. The local chamber of commerce has estimated that the base has an annual economic impact of $95.2 million in Springfield, east of Dayton.
The money for the road relocation includes more than $2.9 million in federal funding and about $726,000 in state money.

|#3Tweet: Celtics vs. 76ers back-to-back preview
|12.07.12 at 2:11 pm ET
Leading into this weekend's back-to-back between the Celtics and 76ers, which could have serious Atlantic Division ramifications, we're debuting Green Street's #3Tweet: Three Twitter questions (and a money round) with the opposing city's best NBA bloggers. On Friday, we interviewed Liberty Ballers blogger Michael Levin.
.@brohrbach I can't speak for all Sixers fans (all 13 of them) but around LB, most hope he plays some this year so they max him out. #3tweet

|Analysis: Lakers get Dwight Howard in four-team trade
|08.10.12 at 2:29 am ET
Well, this was unexpected. After a summer of rumors that went nowhere, the Magic have finally agreed to trade Dwight Howard in a four-team deal that only became public Thursday morning.
The trade, as reported by numerous national outlets and which is expected to be finalized on Friday, will send Howard to the Lakers continuing a long legacy of disaffected big men that have made their way to Los Angeles. Howard joins Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Shaquille O'Neal as All-Star centers who joined the Lakers after beginning their careers elsewhere.
In exchange for Howard, the Lakers sent Andrew Bynum to the 76ers but held on to Pau Gasol. That gives them a starting lineup of Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Metta World Peace, Gasol and Howard.
The trade sent Bynum right into the Celtics' backyard and if there's one center Kevin Garnett struggled with this past season it's Bynum.
The Sixers also absorbed the contract of Jason Richardson, who has three years left at over $18 million. Richardson is still an effective player whose perimeter shooting helps shore up their biggest weakness, but he's already beginning to decline and will be 32 in January. The cost was Andre Iguodala, who will go to the Nuggets, along with Nicola Vucecic and Moe Harkless, who will go to the Magic.
It's a weird mix for the Sixers, who also amnesty'd Elton Brand and replaced him with Nick Young and Kwame Brown earlier this offseason. They dropped Brand, Iguodala and Lou Williams from the team that took the Celtics to seven games, and while Bynum is immediately the best center in the Eastern Conference, it remains to be seen if they got better after all their offseason moves. Bynum also has one year left on his contract. Read the rest of this entry »
|Sixers TV analyst Marc Jackson on D&C: Celtics made 'terrible mistake' by not winning Game 6
|05.25.12 at 9:48 am ET
Sixers TV analyst Marc Jackson joined the Dennis & Callahan show on Friday morning to talk about the Game 7 matchup between the 76ers and Celtics coming up on Saturday. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
Jackson said Kevin Garnett needs to make a change in his game for the Celtics to emerge victorious.
"For Boston to win this game, KG has to get back on that block," Jackson said. "Not necessarily settling for pick and pops or jump shots. But if you noticed the games that Philadelphia struggled with Boston were when KG imposed his will on the lower block. KG may be older in age, but he still has incredible skill on that block and he's one of the best at seeing out of double teams. Even though Lavoy Allen has played tremendous defense on KG, KG has to go back to the old KG and put him in the grinder and get it done."
Jackson said Philadelphia will be up to the challenge of a Game 7 in Boston.
"Yes, Philadelphia towards the end of the year was winning more games on the road then in their own arena," Jackson said. "They are young so they don't really know what's at stake here almost to a fault. But even if they are playing in Boston or playing in Philadelphia, it's all the same to them. I think Boston has made a terrible mistake by not trying to finish the Sixers off early, because the longer you let the young guys stay around the more confident they get. And I know the 76ers are extremely confident that they can go into this game and win against the Boston Celtics in their own court."
Asked who he thought was going to be the one guy to step up for the Sixers, Jackson responded with Andre Iguodala.
"I'm going to say Andre Iguodala because of his defense, his swarming defense and the way he's played defense on Paul Pierce, and before Paul it was Luol Deng," Jackson said. "I know Paul made the comment earlier in the series that it's not because Andre's shutting him down but because the Sixers are playing great team defense. Paul, I love you to death, but I don't want to hear that. Andre Iguodala has played great defense on you."
Turning his attention to the bench, Jackson said coach Doug Collins deserves a majority of the credit for the eighth-seeded Sixers' success.
"He imposed his philosophy on defense first, sharing the ball, commitment to doing the right thing at all times … and that team has taken that philosophy and ran with it," Jackson said. "If you hear everyone speak about Philadelphia, the first thing they say is that they like each other. Now, for people from the outside world who have never played professional sports, that's a major key, because a lot of teams, believe or not, do not like each other. … The 76ers have no [bitterness]."
|Evan Turner: Sixers have to 'make it a rougher game'
|05.22.12 at 12:30 pm ET
Coming into the series, the Sixers were perceived to have a clear advantage in the athletic department over the older, more experienced Celtics.
One problem with that – it's the Celtics have have played tougher in the big moments, like for the for the final 20 minutes of Monday's 101-85 Boston win in Game 5 that puts the Celtics one win from the Eastern Conference finals.
With the exception of the Game 4 meltdown in Philadelphia, the Celtics have won the battle inside against the Sixers. They've been able to establish Kevin Garnett in the low post and he and Brandon Bass have had quality looks at the basket.
Defensively, which the Celtics to a man will tell you is where it all starts, they've also done a much better job than Philadelphia in stopping dribble penetration into the lane, closing up quickly on Evan Turner and Jrue Holiday.
The good looks the Sixers were getting on baseline cuts in the first half Monday suddenly disappeared in the second half – as did the Sixers' lead and any hope of winning the series on their home court on Wednesday night.
The Celtics demoralized the young, immature Sixers, who didn't have the patience or discipline to reverse the ball because the Celtics were the tougher team. The Sixers shot nearly 60 percent for the first 23 minutes Monday night. They shot 27 percent the rest of the way.
'Make shots," is how Turner answered the question of turning around the second-half disaster in Boston Monday night. " You get a lot of shots. The big thing is you just have to keep competing and make it a rougher game. You can't let them walk into their shots, get to certain spots, you got to make it tougher for them like we did in Game 4.'
Elton Brand, who is playing with an ailing shoulder, was huge early on for Philadelphia. He hit 6-of-8 as the Sixers had the clear momentum in the first half. Read the rest of this entry »
|Fast Break: Celtics collapse in second half, 76ers even series
|05.18.12 at 10:53 pm ET
The Celtics scored the first 14 points of Game 4 and had a 15-point lead at halftime, but they failed to keep that momentum in the second half, as the 76ers came back to win, 92-83, evening up the series at two games apiece. For the 76ers, Andre Iguodala scored 16 points. Paul Pierce had 24 points (8-of-13 shooting) and Rajon Rondo had 15 points to go along with 15 assists. The Celtics look to regain control of the series Game 5 on Monday night back at the Garden.
Benched: Doc Rivers looked to his bench to hold the fort after the Celtics built a 22-8 lead midway through the first quarter. Things quickly went awry — Philly went on a 10-2 run to pull within six, 24-18. Rondo stopped the bleeding with an old-fashioned three-point play, and the Celtics closed the half on a 22-13 run, taking a 15-point lead into halftime. While the lead was re-established, Rivers would have preferred not to have had the starters expend more energy.
Foul play: The 76ers should have been in contention all night with the lopsided free throw advantage they had. In the first half, Boston took five free throws to Philly's 21, but the Sixers only hit 13 of those attempts. In the second, half Rivers was forced to go back to his bench after three starters — Brandon Bass, Avery Bradley and Rondo — had four fouls midway through the third quarter. Philly finished with a season-high 34 free throw attempts.
Board to death: The refs certainly didn't help Boston's cause, and the validity of the free throw differential is up for debate, but the C's should have been more focused on the glass. Neither team had been dominant rebounding the ball until Friday night, when the Sixers had 12 offensive boards through the third quarter. This was critical because the Celtics held Philly to just 32.8 percent shooting but the 76ers were able to have multiple chances at the basket because of their rebounding advantage. Philly finished with 17 offensive rebounds. Meanwhile, the Celtics only had five.
Half the battle: As great as the Celtics were in the first half, they failed to score a field goal in the first seven minutes of the second half. To their credit, the Sixers battled and clawed their way back from an 18-point deficit to tie the game in the opening stages of the fourth quarter. From that point on, the game would be a back-and-forth battle. These scoring droughts from the C's are nothing new but are still staggering to watch, especially after they displayed incredible efficiency in the first quarter.
Of course, it wasn't just the offense. The aforementioned rebounding and free throw disparities hurt Boston. Additionally, the Sixers finally flexed their youth, outscoring the Celtics 27-13 in fast break points. Finally, the C's committed 17 turnovers (including seven from Kevin Garnett alone).
Going for the kill: What was more impressive: The C's scoring the game's first 14 points, or the fact they only allowed Philly eight shot attempts (the Sixers only hit one) to their 16 shot attempts through five minutes of action? It has been difficult to differentiate between good defense versus bad offense during the lockout-shortened season, but this was a case of the former. The Celtics were relentless in their defensive approach, specifically Rondo and Bradley. Offensively, Boston started the game shooting 7-of-8 from the field. It was clear, the Celtics wanted no part of coming back to Philly for a Game 6.
The maestro: The C's early dominance was largely because of Rondo's performance. For the second straight game, Rondo played in complete control, dominating all facets of the contest. He had four assists in the first four minutes, took wise risks defensively, and controlled the pacing. He finished the first half scoring nine points (4-of-6 shooting) to go along with nine assists.
Gone fishin': Bass had a great regular season for the C's — first as a reserve off the bench, then as a starter — but he has had an uneven playoffs. In Game 3, Bass showed signs of coming to life, scoring 10 points on 5-of-10 shooting. That confidence carried over into Game 4. In the first half, the 27 year-old scored 13 points, only one point shy of his previous playoff high, knocking down five of the seven shots he took. Bass only had one basket in the second half, however, and finished with 15 points.
|Sixers come of age, steal home court from Celtics
|05.15.12 at 10:16 am ET
The 76ers came into Game 2 of their second-round series against the Celtics knowing they had let Game 1 slip through their fingers after blowing a 10-point fourth-quarter lead. Following the disappointing loss, Doug Collins said he liked his team's effort, remaining optimistic that the Sixers still had the chance to steal Game 2, so long as they made the appropriate adjustments in their execution down the stretch.
Game 2 on Monday night was an ugly affair, but it unfolded the same way as the series opener as the 76ers clawed their way to an eight-point advantage, 59-51, with just over 10 minutes left in regulation. Then Mickael Pietrus — who was just 2-of-15 from long distance in the playoffs going into Monday night's game — drilled back-to-back 3-pointers to pull the Celtics within a basket.
Philly could have turtled under the pressure, but instead it flipped the script. It was the Celtics who committed consecutive turnovers, and shortly after, Andre Iguodala reversed the momentum with a mid-range jumper.
"Our young guys just keep growing and they're really becoming men," Collins said. "I'm so proud of them. We just found a way. … Our guys are believing they can do it, and it is pretty special to watch."
The Sixers allowed 32 fourth-quarter points, including six 3-pointers, but their poise was noticeably different in Game 2. Philly converted all eight of its free throws in the fourth quarter, while Kevin Garnett missed the Celtics' only attempt. Although the C's shot 65 percent from the field in the quarter, they committed four costly turnovers, the 76ers on the other hand, only committed one.
What was most encouraging for the Sixers in their 82-81 victory was that all eight of the players who saw action in the fourth quarter scored. So much of the discussion of this series has been predicated on the lack of a pure offensive threat on the Philadelphia side, as opposed to the Celtics, who boast four perennial All-Stars on their roster. For the Sixers, there was strength in numbers.
Though, it should be noted, a few breaks seemed to go the Sixers way, including Lavoy Allen's 22-foot bank shot as the 24-second shot clock was expiring to break a tie with just over four minutes left. Evan Turner also hit an impressive driving layup that would prove to be the game-winning basket. Finally, Garnett was called for a moving screen with 10 seconds left that took the ball out of the C's hands with a chance to tie, essentially sealing the game for the 76ers.
"They made some tough shots when we needed to get some stops," Paul Pierce said. "The made a shot with [less than a second] left on the shot clock. Turner made a couple difficult layups. That's the part of the game where we've really got to make stops."
Said Doc Rivers: "We put ourselves in that position. And when you do that, if you win the game, great, you won the game. If you lose the game, you deserve to lose the game, too, because you put yourself in that position."
|NBA draft-day rumors: Andre Iguodola to be dealt?
|06.23.11 at 12:13 pm ET
The Sixers are reportedly exploring trade options for Andre Iguodola. He has three years and $44 million left on his contract.
A deal with the Lakers involving Lamar Odom and Iguodola has been discussed recently, sources tell Sports Illustrated's Sam Amick. Under salary cap rules the deal would have to include another Lakers player. That other player could be Ron Artest, a source tells Amick.
Iguodola could also end up in Minnesota as well. A rival general manager tells Amick that the possibility of Iguodola ending up there is "definitely real." The Timberwolves have the No. 2 overall pick, and they have reportedly been seeking a high-level veteran in exchange pick.

Oriental or Asian ginseng has been classified as Panax pseudoginseng Wallich and Panax schinseng Nees. It is native to Korea. Reaching a height of 0.8 to 1 meter, the plant resembles American ginseng.
Other Names:
Korean ginseng is also known as Asian ginseng, Asiatic ginger and Chinese Ginseng. Korean ginseng is a deciduous perennial shrub whose fleshy root requires 4-6 years of cultivation to reach maturity.
Korea possesses all the prerequisites to produce the best quality ginseng in the world:
climate, soil and cultivation technology handed down from generation to generation that serve to obtain and maintain worldwide reputation as the Suzerain country of ginseng.
Cultivation of Korean ginseng started 1600 years ago by harvesting seeds from wild ginseng. However, mass production of Korean ginseng for commercial purpose was not possible until the late 16th century. During this period, artificial cultivation methods in flat fields were established by improving cultivation techniques slowly.
Cultivation Method:
The ginseng plant produces one branch every year until the sixth year, when it attains its full maturation both in size and pharmacologically active ingredients. Cultivation of ginseng for more than four years is highly risky because the plant is very susceptible to soil-born pathogen and insects. That is why private enterprises prefer four year old ginseng root for the production of white ginseng.
Ginseng is known in many Asian countries as the king of all herbs. It is a knobby root light tan in color. Often the center part of the root resembles the human body, as string like shoots stem off from the root and can be seen as arms and legs.
Due to Korean ginseng's unique appearance, ancient herb doctors interpreted this perception to mean that ginseng was a cure-all for the entirety of human illness. Later many cultures started using ginseng to treat almost anything. Ginseng is used by the Chinese to cure nearly everything, and also as a symbol of longevity, strength and wisdom.
What is it used for?
- Ginseng is an herb that is used to support overall health and to give a boost to the immune system
- Lower blood glucose
- Control blood pressure
- Increase stamina
- Improve mental and physical performance
- Speed recovery from illness
- Increase energy
- Stimulate sexual function
- Enhance libido
How does it work?
The root of Korean ginseng, as well as other Asian and Panax ginsengs contain active chemical components called ginsenosides or panaxosides, which are believed to be responsible for ginseng's medicinal properties.
Is ginseng safe to consume?
Ginseng is classified as a "Generally Recognized As Safe" food or GRAS for short by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Ginseng is not a drug and should not be taken like a drug.
What studies have been done on the effects of Ginseng?
- Studies done in 2001 have shown that red ginseng extract reduces the incidence of cancer, with heat treated or steamed ginseng having a greater effect
- Studies done in 2002 in a double-blind study on the effect of Korean red ginseng as a treatment for impotence reported that it can be effective in treating males for erectile dysfunction
- A study done in 2002 on the effect of red ginseng on postoperative immunity and survival in patients with gastric cancer that showed a significantly higher five-year disease free survival rate and overall survival rate in patients that took red ginseng powder
Can you overdose on ginseng?
Ginseng is considered generally safe to consume, even in large amounts, but this should be evaluated on a case by case basis with the evaluation of the individual's health at the time. Ginseng is known to lower blood glucose levels and treat type II diabetes, so if you are currently taking prescription medication to lower your blood glucose levels then it would be wise to consult with your physician and monitor your blood glucose levels regularly.
In what forms can I take it?
Korean ginseng is available dried as the normal root and also prepared in tablets, capsules, teas, drinks, extracts and creams as well as many other readily available forms.

As we waited for the check, I puzzled over how to delicately ask about finances. I knew it would be rude to simply ask what he had in mind in terms of an allowance, but there didn't seem to be much of a way around it. By the time we walked out, I had decided on what I needed to do.
Even though I only lived a few blocks away, Tony insisted on giving me a ride home. He had gotten a parking ticket during our meal and wasn't in the best mood, but it was now or never. As he pulled up to my apartment building, he abruptly declared that he would like to see me again. I was surprised; was he just oblivious to my annoyance, or was I just that good at concealing it?
But I was glad that he had been so blunt. This gave me the opportunity I needed.
"I'd like to see you again too," I lied, "but what were you looking for from this arrangement? I mean what kind of allowance were you thinking of providing?"
"What?" said Tony, "Allowance?"
"Yes," I said, "I posted an advertisement for a sugar daddy. That means an allowance, or at least some kind of compensation. Shoes or jewelry could also work, but I think an allowance is probably simpler."
If the car's motor hadn't been running, you could have heard a pin drop.
