Mary-Lynn Cesar, Kapitall: The OECD expects growth in the eurozone to pick up later this year. Does that suggest possible upside potential for these eurozone stocks?
The 18-member eurozone will see an uptick in growth in the coming months, according to the latest readings from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The OECD's May composite leading indicators (CLI) were published Tuesday and revealed that a rise in Italy's leading indicators will push the currency union toward faster growth in the next six months.
[Read more from Kapitall: Why is the market ignoring these mining and energy stocks?]
Growth in France and Germany, the two largest economies in the eurozone, is expected to remain flat. Similarly, Canada, Japan, the UK, and the US will remain on pace. India's growth is also classified as stable, making it the sole BRIC nation not projected to experience a slowdown in growth later this year.
The OECD's CLIs are used to determine shifts in economic activity six to nine months before they happen. To do this, the OECD compiles and analyzes indicators related to business confidence, changes in orders and inventory, financial market indicators, and key sector and trading partner data among smaller open economies. That's why we decided to look at sales trends–inventory and accounts receivable–among eurozone stocks for our following screen.
We began with a universe of stocks headquartered in any of the 18 eurozone economies and subsequently screened for stocks with faster growth in revenue than accounts receivable year-over-year and a decrease in the portion of current assets attributable to accounts receivable during the same period.
Then we screened that group for stocks also experiencing faster growth in revenue than inventory year-over-year and a decrease in the portion of current assets attributable to inventory.
We were left with two stocks on our list.
Do you think the OECD's CLI report means these stocks can expect higher sales in the coming months?

Core Laboratories NV ( CLB): Provides reservoir description, production enhancement, and reservoir management products and services to the oil and gas industry worldwide. Market cap at $7.50B, most recent closing price at $162.78. Revenue grew by 8.58% during the most recent quarter ($276.28M vs. $254.46M y/y).

How long does lip augmentation (with Juvederm) swelling typically last? How can I tell if it's swelling or Juvederm? Thank you.
Swelling After Juvederm Lip Augmentation
Doctor Answers 6
Swelling after Juvederm Lip Augmentation
In the meantime, you can use cool packs to ease the swelling, placing them on your lips or 15 minute stretches 3-4 times a day. (your lips may be numb at the moment and doing short stretches with the ice pack minimizes the risk of frostbite).

Swelling after Juvederm in the lips
All depends what you mean by swelling...if it's your entire lip, then
that's very common and it usually last anywhere from several days to several weeks depending on the individual...but if you're referring to a localized lump...it usually is too much filler in a localized area and that will require either vigorous pressure to move it around or more rarely an injection of hyaluronidase to dissolve it...without treatment this problem can last a long time...months or more...and a final issue could be swelling due to bleeding under the surface of the skin...a warm compress combined with arnica assists in resolving this problem...

Scientists from the United States, United Kingdom and Germany have completed the most comprehensive analysis to date of the wheat genome, decoding key parts of the crop's genetic code, Reuters reported.
Their findings, published today in the journal Nature, are expected to help develop more productive and disease-resistant varieties of grain.
"We know that there are wild varieties that are particularly good when it comes to drought resistance or flood resistance, but they have very low productivity," study coauthor Neil Hall from the University of Liverpool's Institute of Integrative Biology told BBC News. "You have got to get those high-productivity traits into backgrounds that are more resistant to things like drought or disease."
According to Reuters:
The identification of around 96,000 wheat genes, and insights into the links between them, comes just two years after UK researchers published the raw data of the wheat genome.
Wheat, which evolved from three species of grasses, has a complex genome that is almost five times larger than the human genome, Reuters reported.
Bread wheat is the third most-produced food crop after maize and rice, providing about 20 percent of the calories humans consume, BBC News reported. This year, wheat prices spiked due to extreme weather.
"In the face of this year's wheat crop losses, and worries over the impact on prices for consumers, this breakthrough in our understanding of the bread wheat genome could not have come at a better time," Douglas Kell, chief executive of the UK's Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, which funded the research, told BBC News.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The major U.S. stock averages finished slightly higher on Monday ahead of what's expected to be a tight presidential election on Tuesday. Trading was light with volume totaling just 2.92 billion on New York Stock Exchange and 1.49 billion on the Nasdaq. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added more than 19 points, or 0.15%, to close at 13,112. The blue-chip index, which has fallen in each of the past two weeks, began the session up a little over 7% in 2012. Within the Dow, winners outpaced losers, 17 to 13. The biggest percentage gainers were Caterpillar ( CAT), Hewlett-Packard ( HPQ), and Walt Disney ( DIS). The biggest Dow laggards were Bank of America ( BAC), Coca-Cola ( KO), and UnitedHealth ( UNH). The S&P 500 rose a little more than 3 points, or 0.22%, to settle at 1417.26, while the Nasdaq jumped more than 17 points, or 0.59%, to finish at 2999.66. The weakest sectors in the broad market were utilities, financials, consumer non-cyclicals and services. Consumer cyclicals, technology and capital goods were areas of strength. Apple ( AAPL) was a bright spot with shares rising 1.4% after the company said it sold a better-than-expected three million iPad minis over the weekend. "The U.S. economy is still operating distinctly below its potential and unemployment is right on the historical cusp of assuring any challenging party a solid victory. A loss on Tuesday for either party -- and one will certainly draw the short straw -- is going to go down very poorly indeed among the faithful and their representatives in government," commented Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx. "That's a problem for the country, because there is a lot of heavy lifting to be done in the coming months with respect to the package of tax increases and spending cuts known as the fiscal cliff." "Markets remain transfixed by politics. With so many close races in the U.S., the threat of multiple hanging chad counts might delay the election result beyond Tuesday. Some states like Ohio are still changing the rules, which may lead to legal challenges," noted Paul Donovan, global economist at UBS.

Opening the Electricity Market to Renewable Energy: Making Better Use of the Grid
Opening the electricity market to renewable energy sources would create flexibility for the further integration of renewable energy, leading to considerably lower costs and emissions. This requires the electricity markets to be reorganized in three ways. Firstly, most trading, and therefore production decision-making, is completed at least one day prior to electricity production. But it must be possible to make adjustments on shorter timescales, in order to effectively utilize wind forecasts, which are only relatively accurate a few hours ahead of production. Secondly, demand for operating reserve to stabilize the grid varies with the uncertainty of forecasts for wind and other generation. Most power plants can offer operating reserve, but only together with electricity. At present, however, operating reserve is traded separately from electricity, often in long-term contracts. And thirdly, network operators generally compensate market participants for grid constraints. But with around 200 GWs of new wind and solar capacity being built by 2020, grid expansion must be combined with transparent, market-based congestion management. The introduction of an independent system operator offering an integrated platform for short-term power trading using a pricing system that internalises network constraints ("nodal pricing") could meet these conditions, allowing further openings of the power market for renewable electrical energy. Experience in the US and simulations for Europe show that international transmission capacity is up to 30% better utilized, congestion management alone yielding annual savings of 1 - 2 billion euros.

TÜV Rheinland has acquired the IT Provider OpenSky Corporation. OpenSky is an independent IT consulting firm based in Tolland, CT, focused on Tranformational IT Infrastructure, Security and Compliance. TÜV Rheinland combines competence in information security with knowledge of the testing and certification industry, operating technical safety services and the environment.
CEO of TÜV Rheinland, Dr. Manfred Bayerlein, stated: "For TÜV Rheinland, this is an important step into the world's biggest IT market. The merger with OpenSky will allow us to grow our services globally and support our international customers in the US. Our customers often have a holistic demand for IT infrastructure and cyber security services, and we can fulfill this demand as we are now one of the leading, independent IT providers of services."
According to TÜV Rheinland, the US is currently the largest market for IT and IT security solutions. Analysts predict that by 2023, the US will invest more than $90 billion in cyber security. Merging with OpenSky solutions is expected to enable customers of TÜV Rheinland to pick up on key IT security trends and innovations while implementing them in a timely manner.
"In the past, companies used to focus on implementing IT measures and controlling the infrastructures themselves; today, the focus has shifted to managing virtual worlds. TÜV Rheinland already assists a wide range of large and medium sized enterprises with their IT solutions," said Gerhard Luebken, chief regional officer TÜV Rheinland in North America. "With OpenSky expertise, experience, and reach, we will be able to develop additional markets in other regions and eventually provide broader solutions to our existing client base."

WASHINGTON – U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk has said Washington will continue to urge Japan to fully open its agricultural and financial markets, regardless of whether it joins the Trans-Pacific Partnership free-trade accord.
"We have pressed and are going to continue to press Japan to fully open their market and meet their international obligations with respect to opening their agriculture and on insurance," Kirk told the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday. "Whether they join the TPP or not, I want to make it plain we don't see any linkage of those. These are issues we have been pressing Japan for action on," he said.
Kirk reiterated that Washington welcomes Tokyo's interest in joining the TPP talks but that Japan will have to meet the high standards of trade liberalization set by the multilateral free-trade deal before it is formally accepted as a member.
Stressing that Washington has "not predetermined anything" about Tokyo's participation, Kirk indicated Japan must address all concerns raised by the United States, saying, "everything has got to be on the table.
"We are going to engage them very honestly on how we would address those concerns, particularly with respect to autos and the insurance markets and agriculture," he said.
Meanwhile, a U.S. trade magazine reported in its online edition Wednesday that the United States has been pushing to make as much progress as possible in the TPP negotiations with the other eight members "before the talks could become more complicated by the participation of new members, and the intensified (U.S.) presidential election campaign."
The online report by Inside U.S. Trade also indicated that a decision to approve Japan's participation by the nine member states is expected around September.
"As there are no signs that the negotiations can wrap up this year, it may become awkward for TPP members to continue to deliberate on the possibility of new entrants much beyond September," the report said.
Following the next round of TPP talks in Dallas from May 8 to 18, the United States aims to hold another round of talks in early July, the magazine reported.
To be granted formal entry into the TPP talks, Japan needs approval from all nine countries already involved in the negotiations — Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the U.S. and Vietnam.
On Japan's restrictions on beef imports from the United States, Kirk expressed hope that Japan will ease its current limit on cattle age 20 months or younger.
"We have been somewhat encouraged. Japan is moving to a scientific study now to address some of the concerns we've raised and, hopefully, we may be able to see some movement back into that market," the U.S. trade chief said.
LDP wants TPP limits
A Liberal Democratic Party research panel on diplomatic and economic affairs plans to oppose the government's plan to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations if it would mean liberalizing all goods.
The largest opposition party is expected to adopt the decision as its official policy following intraparty proceedings, and to include it in the LDP's platform for the next Lower House election, panel members said Wednesday.
No strong disagreement was voiced during Wednesday's panel meeting, according to participants, with almost all members agreeing on the need to exclude politically sensitive items from possible liberalization.

Organizational Management
Why an organization chart is critical today
In the world we live in today the management of digital property is omnipresent important. It is the keystone of a successful administration operation.
Possessing endless rows of filing cabinets filled with every file and form imaginable will only stunt growth in a company. Many companies consider this practice a safeguard to data loss or corruption. Unless its mandated by law this procedure is an exercise in futility, given the digital landscape as it stands today.
This isn't about technology alone; rather it is the integration of technology and knowledge. Knowing how to use the tool is more important than the tool itself. And, the tools are a plenty. Email for one, is software that gets taken for granted. We need to learn it and make it work to its potential, no deviation.
There are two groups of people. One group makes money for the company and the other group supports the group that makes money for the company. When it comes to data management everyone in an organization is responsible for its efficient use. So, what does this have to with an organization chart? One, the obvious, it outlines a person's duties and responsibilities. By doing so, a person and/or task is placed in one of the two or both groups. Two, it provides a point of demarcation for mistakes. We have to know where it's broken before we can fix it. The aforementioned support or admin group is the focus of this paper. The creation and implementation of optimal data management procedures is their responsibility so the group that generates income can do their job.
Consider this; most business entities no longer require a 'server' to manage accounts, data and access to databases. Network Attached Storage devices have taken their place. This one change has made data management a task that no longer requires a master in computer science.
As an IT management contractor, Comtech Central becomes a vital team member to the admin group, providing support, solutions and education to everyone and every device within its scope. Routinely reviewing and updating this relationship will create a positive workplace within an organization. Thank you for allowing me to share a more detailed explanation as a data management source. Below are bullet points of interest:
• Optimize the management of digital property
o File and folder access/visibility
o Remote access; Remote Desktop, FTP, Web folder
o Backup redundancy; Onsite and Online Storage(Cloud)

RECIPES: Recipe Details
Mangia Margherita burger
This burger is a proud Italian-American, bringing the traditionally American hamburger together with some uniquely Italian tastes. My great-grandfather grew "basilico" (basil) in a small garden on the side of our home, and I can't help but equate the smell of fresh basil with my memories of him. Like him, this burger is Italian to the core, and he would urge you to eat - mangia!
Garlic bread:
1 loaf of Italian bread (a fresh, crusty loaf is ideal)
12 cloves of garlic
4 tbsp Colavita olive oil
1 lb chuck
1 lb sirloin
3 tbsp Sutter Home white zinfandel
6 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
1 ½ tbsp oregano
1 ½ tbsp Italian parsley
1 ½ tsp salt (increase to 2 tsp if using low-salt cheese(s))
¾ tsp pepper
6oz fresh mozzarella cheese
vegetable oil, to spread on grill rack
12 slices of Roma tomato
18 large basil leaves
Heat grill to medium-high heat. To make garlic bread, first slice Italian loaf lengthwise. Use a garlic press to crush garlic and mix into olive oil. Brush garlic-oil mixture over the insides of the loaf. Reassemble loaf, wrap in foil, and set on the grill to toast. To make the patties, combine chuck, sirloin, white zinfandel, Parmesan cheese, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix well, being careful not to compact the beef. Divide mixture into six equal portions and form into patties. Cut mozzarella into 6 1-ounce slices and set aside. Brush vegetable oil on the grill rack. Cook the patties for 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare burgers. Flip the burgers only once during cooking. During the final minutes of cooking, place one slice over each patty; cover and allow cheese to melt. Slice garlic loaf into six pieces, then each piece lengthwise to create buns for the patties. To assemble burgers, place each patty on a garlic loaf bottom. Top with 2 slices of Roma tomato, 3 basil leaves, and garlic loaf top. Makes 6 burgers.

There will be a funeral mass at 11 a.m. at our Lady of the Woods Catholic Church Saturday, March 12 in Dubois with graveside services and a reception at the Dubois Senior Center after the church service. A visitation and viewing Friday night at 6 p.m. at the church will be followed by a rosary. [image: Inline image 2] Donna was born in Lander on December 22, 1931 to Louis J. and Lillian Carr (Leseberg) Meckem. She spent her early years in Dubois, where her parents ran a gas station and motel. During World War II, she and her family traveled throughout Arizona and California to find work. Dubois was always her home. Lou and Lillian returned to Dubois where Donna graduated high school. It was there that she met her future husband Orville, who had returned from the war and gone to work for the Wyoming Game and Fish department. Donna spent one year away in Kansas attending college and then hurried home to marry Orville; they exchanged vows November 26, 1949 and spent the next 67 years together. Donna loved Orv and she loved her family. She was the All American mom, devoted to her three children. She was an avid reader and liked a good movie. She was always up for a visit or a good card game. Donna's pies, and especially the flaky crusts, were legendary at bake sales. Early in her life she and Orv spent much of their time dancing and traveling. They enjoyed snow mobiling and camping in Wyoming's mountains. Donna is survived by her husband Orville; her three children: Mary Keith (Portales, N.M.), Bill (and Robyn) Landen (Casper) and Tom Landen (Rock Springs); four grandchildren: Michael (and Lacey) Keith, Nick (Tara Smith) Landen, Zachary Landen and Hailey Rodgers; three great grandchildren: Zoe and Lyla Keith and Lillian Landen; her sister Dorothy Lou Stevens (Dubois); and numerous nieces and nephews. Donna was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Jon Meckem. Memorials in Donna's memory can be sent to Our Lady of the Woods Catholic Church in Dubois. #county10 #obits

The delivery trucks are loaded. The planes are fueled. Today, they set off to continue the time-honored tradition of delivering the newest Beaujolais vintage throughout Europe and around the world.
It was in 1985 that a French law was passed restricting the release of the wine until the third Thursday of each November. Containers with crates of the wine will be unpacked as of midnight at airports and docks across America and re-shipped by land and air to bistros and French restaurants throughout the country.
The law permits the vintners to sell more than 1 million cases and start serving it one minute past midnight local time anywhere around the globe. It's the most frivolous and animated ritual in the wine world.
Celebrity chef Thomas Keller will have his bottles ready to start Thursday night's special Beaujolais dinner service that will run through next Wednesday.
"I'm reactivating the celebration," he told me over a glass of champagne at his Venetian restaurant Bouchon. "It starts the holiday season just right.
"It's the first time we've offered a unique menu to go with the release. I think back to my younger days, and it was always fun to go for the first barrel. I wanted to bring back that celebration of the harvest.
"It used to have so much excitement when I was in New York in the early '80s. It was as memorable as the Ash Wednesday mark on your forehead. I can recall the anticipation and excitement surrounding the release each fall earlier in my career.
"I wanted to reintroduce the tradition to our customers because life is too short, and we must have celebrations."
After his three sommeliers scoured the French countryside, Thomas acquired his Beaujolais Nouveau from the Jean Foillard Vineyard, a small producer near the grand cru village of Morgon. The vines are 40 to 60 years old and are farmed organically to create a light, abundantly fruitful gamay blend.
"Not only is the release of this wine a great way to connect our guests with the French culture," Thomas continued, "but it times perfectly with our own Thanksgiving traditions."
His three-course menu of classic dishes from Lyon and Beaujolais is $45, and Auvergne cheese can be added for $10. A bottle of Foillard Beaujolais is paired for $30. (You can enjoy a glass at the bar for $10.) The first course is a house-made garlic sausage in marinated vegetables. The main course is beef cheeks braised in red wine with carrots, turnips, onions, mushrooms and egg noodles. The finale is a dark chocolate mousse with house-made little sweets.
"It's so easy to drink with the food. The wine is some of the best value today, and Foillard is widely regarded for its high quality," he added. It also will be served at his Beverly Hills and Yountville restaurants in California.
Thomas, who had just enjoyed a breakfast with respected French chef Guy Savoy, told me that he has no plans to open more restaurants.
"I haven't opened a new one in five years" he smiled. "But I am working with my team of French Laundry chefs for the Bocuse D'or world championship in France on Jan. 15. I'm determined to lead my team to a victory one day."
Before we finished our champagne interview, Thomas said: "It's my hope that we can re-create the Beaujolais experience and revive some of those memories this year. We've celebrated the wine ever since we opened our first Bouchon 15 years ago, but this is the first year we are offering a unique menu focused on the release."
Guests may make reservations for the Beaujolais dinners at the Venetian at (702 414-1000 and BouchonBistro.com. Ask for sommelier Paul Peterson or chef de cuisine Josh Crain to join you for a glass of the red beauty as you rapture over the experience.

The flagship of Venetian nightlife is TAO, an ultra-hip nightclub located inside of TAO Asian Bistro. V Bar is The Venetian's super smooth ultra lounge, made by the owners of New York City's club Lotus and Los Angeles' super swank Sunset Room.

Mariners open huge gap
Central Coast Mariners moved eight points clear at the top of the A-League with a 1-0 win over Sydney FC at Sydney Football Stadium.
Oliver Bozanic netted the only goal of the game, the midfielder's shot in the eighth minute deflecting off Rhyan Grant and past keeper Liam Reddy after Bernie Ibini had dummied Pedj Bojic's cross.
The victory extended the Mariners' unbeaten run to 12 games and increased their cushion to eight points after Melbourne Heart were held to a 1-1 draw at bottom side Gold Coast United.
Kristian Sarkies gave Heart the lead with eight minutes gone at Skilled Park when his deflected free-kick found the back of the net. Gold Coast, though, levelled with 18 minutes to go when Maceo Rigters backheeled Kristian Rees' shot beyond custodian Clint Bolton.
Finally, Josh Mitchell's injury-time goal saw Perth Glory edge out Wellington Phoenix 1-0 at Westpac Stadium. Mitchell headed home Andrezinho's free-kick deep into stoppage time to grab the points for the visitors.

Days after a photo of the cast from the South Korean creature feature "Sector 7" found its way onto this snazzy site, a slew of new images from this very promising monster movie have made their way onto the Interwebs. Although none of the pictures embedded below give you a solid look at the beast in question, you'll still get to rub your eyeballs all over the picture's insanely attractive cast. "Sector 7" is expected to open overseas this summer. In 3D, no less. Here's hoping it finds its way into North American cinemas sometime before the end of the year. Hey, a guy can hope, can't he?

The Bank of England is considering replacing paper banknotes with plastic ones.
Australia, Canada and several other countries have already adopted plastic banknotes.
Britain's central bank said it would ask the public its opinion before taking a decision in December on whether to adopt polymer pounds, which also would be smaller than current notes.
Governor Mark Carney introduced polymer banknotes while head of the Bank of Canada in 2011 and credited the material for a sharp drop in the rate of counterfeiting.
The first fully-printed notes appeared in 1853. Before that notes were handwritten and signed by one of the bank's cashiers.
Polymer banknotes, as well as being hard to fake, are durable and stay cleaner for longer because the material is more resistant to dirt and moisture, the BoE said, adding that feedback so far on the new-look notes had been positive.
Any British polymer notes would carry the same designs and be tiered in size like current notes.
However, they would be smaller to allow larger denominations to fit more easily into purses and wallets, the bank said.
Polymer banknotes would be introduced one denomination at a time, beginning with the new £5 note featuring Winston Churchill in 2016.
"The Bank of England would print notes on polymer only if we were persuaded that the public would continue to have confidence in, and be comfortable with, our notes," said BoE Deputy Governor Charles Bean.

Champlin accepted a new member in the State Senate. To Mr. John Hoffman, congratulations and thank you for accepting this important role as our voice in St. Paul.
Prior to the election and after the election, I submitted questions via email and telephone to Mr. Hoffman on a variety of public issues without receiving replies:
• Do you support emphasizing the importance of fathers and mothers in school curriculums?
• Do you believe in supporting Judeo-Christian principles in social studies curriculums, which established this great nation?
• Do you support public financing for abortions?
• Do you support the Alternative Information Act? (saves hundreds of babies lives each year)
• Do you support requiring Ultra Sounds for pregnant women? (saves the lives of thousands of mothers in the US each year)
• Do you support over turning the Defense of Marriage Act and replacing it with gay marriage? (not associated with the Marriage Amendment)
If Mr. Hoffman is afraid to answer these questions, will Mr. Hoffman be a strong and fearless voice for all Champlin perspectives in the state senate?
Recently Mr. Hoffman publicly protested against a Christian man because of his character and life beliefs; Catholic faith, Catechism education, and his free association with a pro-traditional family organization. Freedom of religion, freedom of association and free will issues aside, will Mr. Hoffman represent this man?
So I wonder will Mr. Hoffman be a constituent representative, fighting the hard fight for all Champlin citizens or a political party platform representative, walking in lock step with his party leaders?

Ambulatory phlebectomy has helped people around Roseville, California and in other parts of the country find relief from varicose veins. These are veins that appear swollen and bulge from the skin. They are often bluish or purplish in color and their appearance leads many to feel embarrassed or self-conscious. Ambulatory phlebectomy works by removing these problem veins through tiny incisions using vein hooks. It is a minimally-invasive treatment that is a good alternative to many vein stripping procedures that may require a longer recovery period.
When performed, ambulatory phlebectomy starts with the patient standing upright so the physician may identify and mark the veins with a surgical marker. The patient then lies on an exam table and the leg is prepared using an antiseptic solution and then an anesthetic is used to ensure patient comfort throughout the treatment process. Incisions may then be made over the problem veins, and vein hooks are used to remove the problem veins from the area. The incisions are so small that stitches are not required, and the incisions even allow easier draining of fluids after the procedure.
Pads are placed next to the skin after the treatment has been performed to absorb fluids. The leg is then wrapped using a compression bandage, which should be left in place for a couple of days. After the compression bandage has been removed, compression stockings should be worn for a few weeks to aid in the healing process. Patients are usually allowed to return to work after a few days, but should avoid activities that require prolonged standing or heavy lifting. Make appropriate arrangements if these activities are normal in your everyday work life.
There are certain risks associated with ambulatory phlebectomy, as with any other medical procedure, that should be discussed with a Roseville vein specialist. Bleeding and infection are among the most common complications with any procedure, but the small incisions can reduce these risks with ambulatory phlebectomy. Most incisions heal without any scarring, but those who have darker skin may require a longer time to fade. Other potential side effects include discoloration of the surrounding skin, numbness, and tingling.
The procedure may be covered by insurance if used to treat varicose veins that are of a medical concern. If used purely for cosmetic purposes, it may not be covered. Talk with your insurance company and a Roseville vein specialist to learn more about coverage of the procedure.

Ford's New EV+ Feature Keeps Tabs on Driver Locations for EV-Only Mode
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: cleanmpg.com)
EV+ takes note of a driver's most visited destinations, such as the workplace or their parking spot in the garage, using predictive software
Ford is looking to patent a new feature
for hybrids
-- called EV+ -- that will learn its driver's destinations in order to increase fuel efficiency.
EV+ is a computer feature that uses GPS data from
Ford SYNC
to adjust the powertrain automatically. EV+ does this depending on location, and learns driver's most-frequented locations over time to make appropriate changes.
"We know from our research that hybrid drivers want to drive as often as they can in electric-only mode, especially near their home or frequently visited locations," said Kevin Layden, Ford director of Electrification Programs and Engineering. "EV+ not only delivers that capability, but also demonstrates how Ford puts customer needs and wants above everything else."
EV+ takes note of a driver's most visited destinations, such as the workplace or their parking spot in the garage, using predictive software. It then shifts the
electric power stored in the battery
in such a way that it powers the hybrid most efficiently when in a familiar place.
In the current version of EV+, the system can automatically optimize the onboard hybrid system without user intervention (the driver can, however, turn off the system completely or erase destinations learned by the computer).
However, Ford showed us an early,
more functional version of its EV+ technology
in January at CES 2012. In that version, the driver was able to customize destinations using desktop software. So instead of leaving the guesswork up to the onboard computers and GPS to recognize your most frequent destinations in order to optimize the hybrid system and battery reserves, you could program your own and beam them over to your vehicle
using MyFord Mobile
Perhaps we'll see such functionality in a later version of EV+.
Ford said that EV+ is a standard on hybrids like the Ford Fusion Energi and C-Max Energi as well as their hybrid versions (the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and C-Max).
"We realized that harnessing data already available was the way we could achieve our goal of improving the entire hybrid vehicle driving experience," said Ken Frederick, HEV powertrain calibration engineer at Ford. "Once we had access to the data, we applied machine learning principles to predict frequently visited locations that would determine what powertrain controls should be applied to achieve our goal."
Just last month, Ford announced that its
C-Max Energi received a 620-mile EPA-rated driving range
. With the help of EV+, vehicles like this could get even more out of the gas-saving benefits of buying a hybrid.
The patent is pending on EV+.

"PIRATES of the Caribbean" star Johnny Depp's planned summer wedding to his much younger "Rum Diary" co-star Amber Heard is about to capsize.
Sources say that's because the actor's baby mama, French beauty Vanessa Paradis, is trying to drive him crazy. She not only flaunted her fabulous figure during a sexy modeling shoot in Malibu to show Johnny what he's missing, but also picked up a new beau, singer Benjamin Biolay, to make her ex super-jealous, add the sources.
Vanessa, who was with Johnny for 14 years and gave him two children – Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 12 – is in great shape and looks far younger than her 41 years.
"Believe me, Johnny took notice when he saw the glamour shots of Vanessa," revealed a source. "He started seeing her in a whole different light…and that's exactly the effect that Vanessa wanted to have!"
Meanwhile, Johnny, who broke up with Vanessa in June 2012, recently admitted: "I love her and she loves me."
The actor's pals are also throwing up roadblocks to the wedding – convinced the age gap between Depp, 50, and Amber, 28, will eventually sink the marriage. Adding to the trouble, bisexual Amber still seems torn between Johnny and her ex-flame, 38-year-old photographer Tasya van Ree. In fact, on the day before her and Johnny's lavish engagement party, she was photographed in a car looking extremely distressed.
"Amber truly loves Johnny, but she's getting the jitters," said an insider.
"The whole thing may be unraveling before they can head down the aisle!"

Discussion in 'The National Football League' started by WWJD, Sep 20, 2004.
Julius Jones is out for probably the next 2 months with a broken shoulder.
Ain't that abouta b****?
That wasn't the kind of news I wanted to hear on a Monday morning. I guess ReShard Lee will get more time as an RB.
The Cowboys had a lousy draft with this happening. He's out and the OL guy is out for the year. Lousy.
Did Houston have a lousy draft in '02 because of Carr's rookie numbers?
I wouldn't say they had a lousy draft quite yet. Injuries can happen to any draft pick at any given time. Besides that ignores the 1st round pick they got from the Bills. They way Buffalo is going it could be a very high pick.
I'd love to know what rookie they drafted that is making an impact this year...the Texans drafted Babin and Robinson and they're both playing. I don't see that with the Cowboys. Jones is out, the offensive lineman is out from USC and who else is there? I'm not up on all that but it seems from my vantage point that they right now are getting nothing out of this draft for the year.
serious, HUGE and all Cowboy fans I'm sorry to hear the bad news. I was really looking forward to tracking his numbers & success. Kinda puts a damper on the Steven Jackson vs. Julius Jones debate. One positive note I got to see a little College ball over the weekend and I really liked that back from Auburn, Cadillac Williams he reminds me alot of Curtis Martin, and I think we all know Parcells loves Martin & that Martin is currently still tearing it up in NY.
I am still wondering why Dallas traded down and passed up the chance to draft one of the other RB's that went before Jones...
They got an extra first round pick for this year from the Bills and they probably figured that with the Patriots, Jets, and the Dolphins with Ricky Williams in the division the Bills wont have that great of a record and it might be a really high one...
The extra pick from Buffalo may turn out to be the smartest thing the Cowboys did the entire draft.
Robinson and Babin were both first round draft picks that are filling "need" positions. Does Dallas have any players from that draft that fit this description? Most thought Jones was expected to take over the starting role as a 2nd rounder but then we signed Eddie George. So his (as our other draft picks) role became one of depth.
So if you compare the rest of our draft to yours...
Jacob Rogers - 2nd Round - Back-up RT.
Stephen Peterman - 3rd Round - (When healthy) Back-up OG.
Bruce Thornton - 4th Round - Secondary depth.
Sean Ryan - 5th Round - Cut.
Nathan Jones - 7th Round - Secondary depth.
Patrick Crayton - 7th Round - Listed on WR depth chart but does return duties.
Jacques Reeves - 7th Round - Secondary depth.
Glenn Earl - 4th Round - I see he's made 1 tackle so far.
Vontez Duff - 6th Round - Is he even on the team?
Jammal Lord - 6th Round - Is he on the team?
Charlie Anderson - 6th Round - I see he's made 1 tackle so far.
Raheem Orr - 7th Round - Is he on the team?
Sloan Thomas - 7th Round - Practice Squad.
BJ Symons - 7th Round - Practice Squad or cut?
Is our's really so lousy?
I still think many teams had a much better draft than the Cowboys including the Texans. Depth is fine, needed and I understand all that but we'll wait and see how JJ works out. Right now his rookie year is a diaster with the injury and all.
I'll always believe Jimmy Johnson was the best draft day man the Cowboys had. Jerry stinks at it and I'm not real impressed with Bill either. But we'll agree to disagree and I'll leave it at that.
It's not going to help them this year with their RB situation.
Unfortunate for JJ with the rib problems, but I think Dallas will do fine with George and especially Lee. George hasnt been doing that bad so far after 2 weeks
Well if you are looking in the category of continuing declining stats, I guess not:
Eddie George 3.3 ypc
Troy Hambrick 3.5 ypc
Emmitt Smith 3.8 ypc
Each in their current or last year with the Cowboys. Man, with that kind of progress in 4-5 years you might actually manage to get a RB that goes backwards. Explain again to me why it was smart to get rid of Emmitt (because JJ wouldn't offer above vet. minimum) and smart to sign Eddie (for $4 mil)?
$2.2 million ($660,000 base + $1.54 million bonus). But I've already stated my opinion of George coming to Dallas in the other thread (against it).
As for Emmitt, several teams offered him the vet. minimum. Yet he signed with Arizona for a fat contract. Do you think he would've re-signed with Dallas had they offered a bit more than the vet. minimum? I don't. And at that point, it made no sense to re-sign him for anything more.
We have him now!! 198 baby.
Julius Jones - 98 carries, 445 yards (4.5 avg) 5 TDs
Steven Jackson - 100 carries, 496 yards (5.0 avg), 2 TDs
And we got a 1st round pick. I'll take it.
Separate names with a comma.

Thomas Bird of Mill Valley, producer of the award-winning documentary "Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam," says it's important to listen to what the nation's war veterans have to say.
"Go beyond the catch phrases like 'thanks for your service' and volunteer to work with veterans," he said. "Listen to what they have to say."
The 67-year-old Bird, a Vietnam veteran, is keynote speaker at Marin's Veterans Day celebration next Monday.
"I will touch on the history of Veterans Day, go over the statistics regarding the percentage of people serving in all our wars, and give special emphasis to the current generation of veterans," he said.
And he will invite the audience to listen closely as two veterans of the war in Iraq read their poems. The service begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium in San Rafael.
Bird was co-producer of a Vietnam documentary that won Emmy, Ace and Peabody awards. He is founder of Vietnam Veterans Ensemble Theatre Company and Walking Point Foundation aiding veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Those interested in the roots of the Vietnam War, he added, should read this year's Pulitzer winner in history, "Embers of War" by Fredrik Logevall.
Marin's annual Veterans Day celebration is hosted by the Marin County United Veterans Council and the county of Marin.
The ceremony will feature singer-songwriter Susan Zelinsky, the Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District Non-Marching Band and cadets from the House of Steel gym in San Rafael.
Refreshments will be provided by Elks Lodge 1108 of San Rafael.
In addition, an annual service will be held at the Olema Cemetery at 9 a.m. Saturday at which U.S. Coast Guard personnel will preside. Flags will be placed on veterans' graves.
Refreshments will be served at Sacred Heart Church in Olema.
For more information, contact Marin veterans officer Sean Stephens at 473-6193.

I used boiling water so that it would boil off before the smoking and cooking was finished. My inspiration for having part of the smoke be "wet," with water in the pan, and the second part "dry," with no water in the pan, was this article:
Wet-to-Dry No-Foil Smoke Chamber Method
Really fast. It was up to 120 degree, from room temp, in less than 45 minutes. I started at 225. That was as hot as I ever set the smoker. I then lowered it down to 200 degrees after about 75 minutes. I used 225 degrees because most of the beef recipes at the Masterbuilt site suggest this as the temperature to use:
Masterbuilt Smoked Beef Recipes
I was simply following the directions given by Masterbuilt in their instruction manual. Here is the direct quote:
- "Pre-heat smoker for 30 to 45 minutes at max temperature before loading food."
I would think that if you started cold, and then put the food into the smoker and also the chips, the electric heater would absolutely nuke the wood chips resulting in way too much smoke during the first part of the process. By having it preheated, assuming you don't leave the door open for five minutes, the heater should only cycle on for a relatively short time during the first 10-15 minutes, resulting in much more even smoke. I'm sure this is why I didn't have to add chips until over an hour had gone by, and even then, I still had TBS.
Wow, that seems pretty high IT to me. I've cooked meats to that temperature when I want them to fall apart, like a pulled-pork recipe. I still wanted to be able to slice this. There sure wouldn't be any pink left at that temperature, and I would think the meat would get quite dry. I actually thought it was a little dry, even at the 140 IT.
Yes, it is a natural gas grill (connected directly to my house gas line), but 21 years old. It doesn't have a "super high" sear setting. I did mention in my initial post that I might try using a blow torch or a cast iron skillet to provide a better sear next time.
I used hickory. I definitely didn't need to add chips every 20-30 minutes and didn't add a second lot until 65 minutes into the process. I don't find this a particularly difficult thing to do, so at this point, I haven't found the need for the add on smoke device. I'm sure I'd feel differently if I were doing an 8-10 hour smoke.
I disagree with that wet-to-dry post based on my personal experience with my MES 30 smoking with wood pellets. I cook in a dry chamber and I'm the one who controls how much smoke is absorbed by meats depending on how many hours they're kept in contact with the wood smoke. I can tell you that it's easy to over smoke meat in the MES 30 and it's just as easy to control the environment so that meats get the perfect amount of smoke that pleases your palate. The same thing applies to cold smoking foods like cheeses.
But if that guy's technique works for him with his smoker, that's great. There's a school of thought that once a pellicle forms on the surface of meat (at around 160° IT) it prevents any additional smoke absorption. Most people around here have debunked that and I agree with them. I'm a minimalist when it comes to smoking. I use the AMNPS and wood pellets because I can precisely control how much smoke is produced inside the smoker. For long smokes, I'll foil meat after a pre-determined number of hours to prevent any additional contact with smoke while the meat cooks to the IT I'm looking for. Near the end I'll un-foil the meat for a bit more smoke contact after I brush on some finishing BBQ sauce for an additional layer of flavor and to add a bit of moisture to the bark, which is my own personal style of smoking.
I agree with preheating the MES; I was just disagreeing on how high a temp to preheat it to. And as I wrote previously I don't preheat my smoker to 275°. If my set point is 235° I'll let it get up to 250 before I open the door and place the AMNPS and the meat inside the smoker. My preheat process takes no more than about 30 minutes in warm weather. I rarely smoke in cold weather but I don't think it would take much longer than that. When it's hit 250 I put both the AMNPS and the meat inside the smoker.
The MES 30 is so small inside it recovers the heat pretty quickly, or at least mine does. And keep in mind that the MES 30 Gen 1 does not have a short heating cycle. The first couple are fairly long so you'll see temp overshoots and fallbacks. After the smoke enters its second or third hour you'll see the temp remain fairly stable and you'll see that the controller temp if not matching your own thermometer is actually pretty close. And with an MES you want your own therm. I use the Maverick ET-733. If the ET-733 shows me the temp is higher or lower than I want it I'll fiddle with the controller temp. Bearcarver has an excellent step-by-step for preciously controlling the MES cooking temps. But my experience with my MES 30 has been that the controller is programmed to cycle a few times during the early part of the smoke whether the door has been left open for a few seconds to a minute or not.
Yes, 190-200° is a high IT range but I was only referring to pork shoulder, beef brisket and boneless chuck roast and that's where you want those cuts of meat to finish. You want that high IT so ensure almost all the fat has been rendered along with the collagen and other connective tissue. Believe me, I've paid the price for undercooking those. And with those meats since there's so much fat to be rendered (even after trimming off the hard fat) it's really tough to dry them out unless you cook them a few hours too long. Tri-tip and other better cuts of meat are different. You want those medium to medium rare (I have to cook my wife's meats to at least 150 or she claims that it's still mooing). That's why I said your tri-tip was perfectly cooked.
Your grill is 21 years old? That's why I couldn't find it on the Weber site. I knew it was propane from the hose under the grill. When it comes to smoking I'm a minimalist and when it comes to grilling I consider myself a purist. That's why I love my Weber 22.5" One Touch Silver. To me, charcoal--either briquette or lump--is the only fuel for grilling and it's also perfect for reverse searing of meat. But yeah, finishing the meat in a cast iron skillet over high heat on a stove top burner or sticking it under a really hot broiler are classic ways to achieve this.
Did you still see plenty of TBS coming up from the top vent even though you didn't add any until 65 minutes into your cook? One thing to be aware of: you'll almost always see some smoke coming out of the top vent. With new smokers it could be from improperly pre-seasoning it. But after the smoker's been used quite a bit grease and other deposits will build up and they'll produce smoke. I'm not a fanatic when it comes to cleaning the inside of my smoker so I'll see some smoke rising out of the top vent while preheating. But once I place the AMNPS inside I start seeing real smoke rising. But from my personal experience when I was using wood chips that I would barely see any smoke after about 20-30 minutes and when I opened the MES door there was hardly any smoke inside. Many members here have also seen this when using wood chips with a MES.
However, as you said you didn't need to smoke the tri-tip for that long and one batch of wood chips should've been sufficient. And yes, for an 8-11 hour smoke that would've been different and that's when wood chips become a PITA.
Hickory is a great go-too wood for just about anything. For me it can be a bit too aggressive. I'd say my overall favorite wood pellet for smoking is oak; it's so smooth and mellow but I do use hickory a lot. When I smoke tri-tip I like using mesquite wood pellets to emulate the Santa Maria (California) style of grilled tri-tip. But I also prefer grilled tri-tip to smoked. If I'm grilling over charcoal I'll throw mesquite wood chips over the coals, even if I'm using lump charcoal.

Wednesday, November 28, 2012
By James Lomuscio
Though the date is more than seven years away, Lou Gagliano, chairman of the Downtown 2020 Committee, says "the time is now" for Westport to plan its future.
"We have a unique opportunity here," Gagliano told about 20 persons assembled in the Town Hall auditorium tonight at the committee's first evening public meeting. "The time is now, so we're here tonight to hear from you, the members of the community, to tell us what your concerns are because it's an important path we're walking together."
Formed by First Selectman Gordon Joseloff in March to plan the revitalization of the downtown while integrating planned projects such as Bedford Square, National Hall's redevelopment, the library's planned expansion and a cinema, the seven-member committee is now in the process of raising $150,000 to hire a consultant to draw up a master plan.
To reach that amount, Gagliano says the committee plans to raise $75,000 by Jan. 1 and seek the rest from the town. He said Downtown 2020 already has $17,000 in its coffers, including today's $10,000 gift from the Westport Chamber of Commerce.
Gagliano, who was joined by committee members Dan Kail, Craig Rebecca Schiavone and Valerie Smith Malin, noted that the committee has eight main objectives in planning the town's future.
They include: preserving its character and historic fabric; reclaiming river access; improving streetscape; improving traffic flow; encouraging greater nighttime use; multi-generational downtown living; preserving and stimulating retail growth; and enhancing both pedestrian and commercial connections between the east and west banks of the Saugatuck River.
Kail, for one, stressed that reconfiguring parts of the downtown to take advantage of its river views would be key to revitalization.
"Parking-Harding Plaza, that's riverfront space that's now being used as a parking lot," said Kail.
Gagliano agreed, asking, "Does parking on the river serve our best purpose?"
He added that resident input is critical since "a significant part we're considering" for redesign the is town-owned land.
Peter Eyes, a longtime town resident who moved to West Hartford before moving back to Westport, pointed out that many of the changes he has witnessed in Westport have not been for the better, and that the town has become more crowded.
"If you polish the jewel too much, you have to wonder where you're going to put al the people," Eyes said.
Gagliano stressed that "intelligent balanced growth is at the heart."
"We're not trying to make this a regional center but for the people who live here," he said. "If it's out of whack, who are you doing it for?"
Lou Mall, a member of the Representative Town Meeting, requested that any master plan include a "comprehensive traffic study," to which Gagliano responded, "There's no way we can do a master plan without doing a traffic study first."
Board of Finance member John Pincavage, in the wake of the downtown flooding damage due to Storm Sandy, questioned whether Downtown 2020 would incorporate ways to make the area "physically protected from flooding."
"Who's going to go there?" Picgavage asked. "Are you going have to bulldoze it or make it into a riverbank?"
"I'm not Moses," quipped Gagliano, adding that the national chain stores that remain shuttered in the wake of Storm Sandy did not take the proper precautions.
"We have to teach the lessons learned and knock on the door of every national (chain store)," he added. "Preparation has something to do with it."
Gagliano also said that dredging the river could minimize high tide storm sewer backups that flood Main Street and Parker-Harding Plaza.
"And to just throw your hands up and say nothing can be done," Gagliano said, is not practical.
Francis (Randy) Henkels, chairman of the Historic District Commission (HDC), said he was excited by the prospect of the committee's master plan, one that puts maintaining the town's historic character as a top priority.
"I think all of the objectives are great ones," he said, adding that the HDC has been proposing a Historic Village District. "I look forward to the opportunity of interfacing with this group. I'm excited by the whole process."

London – Caroline Wozniacki called for on-court clocks to be installed to clamp down on Wimbledon time-wasters after the former world number one crashed out in the fourth round on Monday.
Wozniacki was the latest victim of giant-killer Barbora Zahlavova Strycova, the unseeded Czech who claimed another famous scalp to move into the quarter-finals with a 6-2, 7-5 victory.
Zahlavova Strycova, the world number 43, had enjoyed the best win of her career in the previous round when she defeated Chinese second seed Li Na and she added Danish 16th seed Wozniacki to her list of upsets, converting a sixth match point to move into the last eight at a Grand Slam for the first time.
But Wozniacki was unhappy with the length of time Zahlavova Strycova took between points, claiming the Czech's routine stopped her establishing any rhythm.
"I thought she was very slow. But I guess the referee, she has the time on it. If she's within the time, I guess it's okay. It's up to the referee or up to the umpire to say if she is or not," said the Dane.
She also agreed with Roger Federer's opinion that clocks may have to be installed on court to hurry up the slower players with the seven-time Wimbledon champion fearing that the pedestrian pace of some matches could lead to fans turning their backs on the sport.
"I wouldn't mind. I think that's fine. You have a clock. It shows exactly how much time you take in between points," said Wozniacki.
However, Zahlavova Strycova believes clocks are not necessary as the final call should remain with the chair umpire.
"I like to take time between points, but the referee didn't tell me anything about it, so I was continuing in my rhythm," said the Czech player who has made the last-eight at a major for the first time at her 32nd attempt.
"So if the referee would tell me speed up or hurry up on your serve, I would maybe change it. But I didn't get any warning or something like that, so I was just following the rhythm I had."
Federer's comments over slow play came just hours after world number one Rafael Nadal, notorious for his lengthy breaks between each point, had been criticised for time-wasting by Lukas Rosol following the Spaniard's second round victory.
Nadal took an average of 25 seconds to resume play when the maximum allowed in the sport's rulebook is 20 seconds.
While Zahlavova Strycova looks ahead to a last eight clash against Petra Kvitova, the 2011 Wimbledon champion, or China's Peng Shuai, the latest setback of Wozniacki's troubled year leaves her battling to regain her status as one of the sport's top players.
The Dane is still waiting for a first Grand Slam quarter-final appearance since the 2012 Australian Open and continues her disappointing form following golfer Rory McIlroy's decision to break off their engagement prior to her first round loss at the French Open.
But she insists still has the motivation to return to the top five years after her only Grand Slam final appearance, at the US Open.
"I think every player goes through ups and downs a little bit. But I'm very motivated," she said.
"I'm not going to really take time off. I'm just going to go back and practice and try and get better, you know. I'm definitely motivated and excited for the rest of the year. There's still a lot to be played. A lot of things can happen." – Sapa-AFP

Tinsel is one of those slightly kitschy, throwback Christmas items that I can't help but love. And this is the perfect use for it! Glittery, glitzy and fun.
Things you'll need:
Tinsel garland
Fiberboard doll cone
Hot glue and glue gun
Things to do:
1. Squeeze a generous dollop of glue on a spot near the bottom edge of the tree for and press the end of the tinsel firmly into the glue.
2. Continue to add dots of glue every inch along the bottom edge of the tree, pressing the tinsel in as you go.
3. Once you have made it all the way around the bottom, continue to add dots of glue and wrap, pushing the tinsel down to the previous layer so that there are no gaps.
4. Continue to glue and wrap until you have covered the whole tree.

Something like Wikipedia, (since MediaWiki was brought up) but perhaps with restricted write access to the "feature" pages, and public access to "talk" pages. The "feature" pages could easily(?) be kept in DocBook, if that makes it easier for producing printed copy etc. I don't know about the technical side, and my experience isn't all that wide, but I find I really like the look and feel of Wikipedia compared to other wikis. >For those who are satisfied with the present setup or think that >newsgroups are panacea forthe whole problem - fine. > > I think newsgroups are a good alternative/supplement to the mailing lists - that is, for discussion, just like IRC is a good forum for getting immediate help on various things.

text: It's been a long and short year. Of course that's a bit of an oxymoron but those of you who have children understand what I mean. Since Landon has been born, it seems as though time has flown by faster than any year before. But looking back at the year, we have so many new memories it seems as though we've seen ten years pass since the day he was born. I know, I know, all that is so cliché but there is not a better way to describe it all. Thank you so much to all our family and friends who have been a constant blessing to us during this past year! Abbie is still employed with the NCPO and it's been a wonderfully consistent and generous job for our family. Chris spent the past year working with OneSource Insurance Group. He has learned much, grown much, and hopefully helped much but he has chosen to move on from that career path in order to free himself up to focus on what his truest desires are. OneSource is an incredible opportunity and one that not everyone should look past, but as time went on, Chris realized the time had come to move on. Now, Chris is on the job hunt and is looking forward to possibly returning to fully finishing his Master's degree this fall. All that and of course the day to day things of planting a few flowers, going on evening walks, church family ministries, is what is going on in our lives…oh, that and we are expecting our second child!

AUGUSTA, Maine - Housing Maine's homeless costs money but results in overall savings, thanks to the reduced cost of social, medical, and other services, according to a study commissioned by the Maine State Housing Authority.
The study was based on interviews with 99 formerly homeless people in the Portland area who have been in supportive housing for at least a year. It includes data from hospitals, clinics, shelters, police, and the Cumberland County Jail.
Housing people who were homeless cut in half the average costs of nonhousing services they receive, said the study, which was released yesterday.
"Whether you are looking at it from a moral, social, or cost viewpoint, providing permanent supportive housing to people who are homeless is a winning strategy," said Dale McCormick, the Maine State Housing Authority director.
Supportive housing programs, in which formerly homeless people are provided with a range of services in their new roles as tenants, are fairly new in Maine, said Bruce Goodman, operations director for Tedford Shelter in Brunswick.
In other states where it has been more widely used, supportive housing has saved money because clients are provided with services that move them toward independence and success in their lives, said Goodman. That gradually translates into fewer public costs, he said.
The Maine study found that the greatest savings came from the reduced cost of healthcare, particularly mental healthcare.
By moving to supportive housing, people receiving mental health services shift from expensive emergency and psychiatric inpatient care to less-expensive outpatient services.
Although subsidized housing tenants received more mental health services the year after they found their own units, their overall mental health costs declined by 41 percent.
Significant savings also result from a reduced need for emergency services, police intervention, and incarceration, says the report. It cites a 60 percent decrease in ambulance transports, 52 percent fewer emergency room visits, and 68 percent fewer police contacts, all of which resulted in reduced costs.
