We crossed paths three times the following year, at The Gourmet Experience, San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival, and again at Gingerbread City 2011. Chef Daniel won the prestigious Chef of the Fest with his Crispy Laughing Bird Shrimp and Curry-Glazed Sous Vide Pork Belly, cauliflower polenta, and roasted ginger kaffir lime air. At Gingerbread City, he created a dish called Corvina-Almonds-Pumpkin, with duck fat and butter poached local corvina, pumpkin custard, smoked almond fluid gel, crispy Maitake nitro, and crystallized micro Thai basil. I'm still patiently waiting for the margarita recipe he promised from The Gourmet Experience, the most amazing Cadillac Margarita, garnished with a slice of jalapeno and float of lime foam.
My limited experience with modernist cuisine comes from these creations by Daniel Barron, although we did successfully sous vide a tri tip for our Weird Science Halloween Party, and I made a variety of powders for a Daring Cooks' challenge: Skate, Traditional Flavors Powdered, a recipe found in Chef Grant Achatz' Alinea cookbook. But these are extremely mild in comparison to some of the techniques employed by Barron (OMG, please excuse the hideous food photography in these earlier posts).
We continue to see Chef Barron at various charity events, giving back to the community, but he is now sporting a black tee, silkscreened with Evolve, Cuisine Forward. Although he still wears one of his stylish hats and blue sneakers, I must admit I cringed a bit when he donned his latest kinda-creepy black gloves.
Chef Daniel describes his newest venture as "the culinary intersection of modernist cuisine and fresh, organic fare - science and nature" presented during pop-up dinners and catering events. We were thrilled to recently attend Evolve Cuisine's second pop-up dinner series, The Cambrian Event, held at Fixtures Living. It was truly an entertaining evening and a treat for the senses.

We started off the evening with passed hors d'oeuvres: Steamed Bao Bao with Seared Local Yellowtail Belly and Cucumber Salsa; Kumiai Oysters with Salted Lemon Air and Kelp Kimchee; and Laughing Bird Shrimp Ceviche, with chili thread, white soy ponzu, jalapenos, and cilantro.

Modernist Molecular Mixologist, Mike Yen, wowed us with a pre-dinner cocktail. "Modernist techniques serve as a portal to a new dimension of artistic expression. I love being able to apply whimsical twists to nostalgic ideas and redeliver them in a package that surprises the audience."
|Bay Breeze Cocktail Sphere
Following hors d'oeuvres, we were whisked off on an incredible journey through eight delectable courses and a very innovative dessert. Unfortunately, I'm still too new at this cuisine to accurately describe the techniques that go into each of these dishes, and I've found myself looking up many of the ingredients to find out what they are and where they come from...maybe I can become more knowledgeable after a few more Evolve dinners, and a visit to Chef Barron's research and development kitchen! For now, you'll have to settle on photographs and your imagination (see all of our photos from the evening, here).
1st Course
Scallop, Watermelon, Pistachio
Baja Mano de Leon scallops, pistachio fluid gel, dehydrated watermelon and serrano chile crisps, pistachio toffee, Kinh Giới leaves
Spanish for Lion's Paw, the golden orange shells of Mano de Leon Scallops look like big lion's paws. Known as the superstars of the scallop world, they are carefully harvested by divers in pristine tropical lagoons off Mexico's Baja Peninsula. They have a wonderfully rich and sweet flavor, and sear beautifully. There are less than eight of these jumbo scallops in a pound.
2nd Course
Venus Clam, Radish, Kelp
Sunomono gelee, fermented black bean sauce,
Bac-Ha, shaved radishes, Wasabi agar agar, lotus root chips
Venus Clams have multicolored shells with plump meats, a briny taste with a hint of umami, and a seaweed, metallic flavor on the finish. The meats are larger and more plump than Manila clams, yet still tender.

Truffle-uni bisque in a catheter syringe, seabean and truffle espuma,
sea beans with sweet sesame dressing, freeze dried coffee toasted sesame seeds
|Truffle-uni bisque, in a syringe...a bit strange, but incredible!
5th Course Cocktail
"My craft is like gift wrapping mixology with the aesthetics of sushi. The resulting product is something that is pretty, flavorful, and alcohol-sneaky. Each gelatin shot is a definitive reflection of its cocktail counterpart in both taste and presentation. It is a Jello shot like no other..."

Tickets to Evolve's pop-up dinner events sell out quickly. It is advisable to follow Evolve on Facebook or Twitter, and check the web site often to keep up with Chef Barron and his creative team.
I'm sorry to miss next week's dinner, A Modern Tribute to the Classic Cuisine of America's Finest City, but I'm sure Chef Barron's twist on San Diego's famous fish tacos is going to be a doozy.

One day until election day.
First the scoreboard:
Dow: 13,112, +19.2, +0.1 percent
S&P 500: 1,417, +3.0, +0.2 percent
NASDAQ: 2,999, +17.5, +0.5 percent
And now the top stories:
- The ISM non-manufacturing (or services) index fell to 54.2 in October from 55.1 a month ago. This was just shy of the 54.5 expected by economists. Any number above 50 signals expansion, so it was ultimately a positive report. However, it didn't move markets. But it's worth noting that it's the last major economic data point ahead of tomorrow's U.S. presidential election.
- Indeed, most of the chatter today was about the election. In a new piece for the Financial Times, Nomura's Richard Koo argued that Barack Obama's policies were the correct response to the recession. He pointed to Japan's experience of ill-timed deficit cuts, which caused horrendous deterioration in economic growth. Koo warned: "It is risky for politicians to explain but, until they make it clear that the economy will implode if everybody is saving and nobody is borrowing, public support for the necessary fiscal stimulus is likely to weaken, as seen during the past four years of the Obama administration."
- Most polls indicate that the race is close. However, most experts expect Barack Obama to win re-election. But in a his letter this morning, Dennis Gartman wrote that he expects Mitt Romney to win the election "quite handily."
- For many traders, it's not so much who wins the election. Rather, it could prove to be a disaster if the winner can't win by a decent margin. "The biggest political risk is the potential that the US result won't be known due to the combination of a tight election and re-count/mail-in issues in swing states," writes Citi's FX team. Art Cashin wrote about this in his Cashin's Comments this morning: "There is a broad hope among traders that the election is not close. With the divided state of the nation on lots of issues, a close result might be the worse outcome."
- According to a new Lundberg survey, gas prices posted their biggest drop two-week drop in four years. This was attributed to the huge drop in California gas prices and a drop in demand on the east coast due to Hurricane Sandy.

Basketball legend Meadowlark Lemon died at age 83 in Scottdale, Arizona on December 27, 2015. Lemon was the court jester of the Harlem Globetrotters for 22 seasons before venturing off to play for the Bucketeers, then later with the Shooting Stars and in 1988 starting "Meadowlark Lemon's All Stars". In 1994, Lemon played 50 games for the Harlem Globetrotters while still playing for his own touring team.

After missing one game in Germany after a bad meal of goulash in 1955, Lemon played 7,500 consecutive games for the Harlem Globetrotters, which was the equivalent of 92 NBA seasons. But Lemon was known for more than his perfect attendance on the courts.
Wilt Chamberlain played with Meadowlark Lemon for the 1958-59 season on the Harlem Globetrotters. Wilt Chamberlain lauded Lemom shortly before his Wilt's death in 1999: "Meadowlark was the most sensational, awesome, incredible basketball player I've ever seen. People would say it would be Dr. J or even [Michael] Jordan. For me it would be Meadowlark Lemon." Lemon could make unbelievable behind the back half-court baskets and was known for his long range hook shot.
Supplementing his superior skill set at basketball fundamentals, Meadowlark Lemon was a showman. He enthusiastically embraced being the "Clown Prince" of basketball, by doing a regular shtick of throwing a bucket-full of confetti and pulling down the pants of referees. Meadowlark Lemon was inducted into both the Basketball Hall of Fame and the International Clown Hall of Fame.
Aside from being an athlete and an entertainer, Meadowlark Lemon had a spiritual side. Lemon became an ordained minister in 1986 and a Doctor of Divinity in 1988 from Vision International University. Along with his second wife Dr. Cynthia Lemon, he founded Meadowlark Lemon Ministries with a mission "Changing lives to change the world" by leveraging his books, media, evangelical outreach along with Camp Meadowlark basketball camp as inspiration to stay focused and finish strong message aimed at keep kids away from the path of substance abuse.
Meadowlark Lemon Ministries has a special outreach to youths in detention facilities and prisons. Meadowlark's message to these troubled souls is that you are not alone, you are uniquely special, God has great plans for you and you are forgiven.
Through his excellence on the courts and comedy, Meadowlark Lemon could entertain and elevate his fans. Parlaying his successes on the court to his ministry, Meadowlark Lemon helped elevate himself and others to a higher level. Rest In Peace Clown Prince of Basketball.

Mazie Hirono on Welfare & Poverty
Democratic challenger; Representative (HI-2)
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Sen. BARBARA MIKULSKI (D, MD): [In developing national service over many years] we were not in the business of creating another new social program. What we were in the business of was creating a new social invention. What do I mean by that? In our country, we are known for our technological inventions. But also often overlooked, and sometimes undervalued, is our social inventions.
We created national service to let young people find opportunity to be of service and also to make an important contribution. But not all was rosy. In 2003, when I was the ranking member on the appropriations subcommittee funding national service, they created a debacle. One of their most colossal errors was that they enrolled over 20,000 volunteers and could not afford to pay for it. That is how sloppy they were in their accounting. I called them the "Enron of nonprofits."
And they worked on it. But all that is history. We are going to expand AmeriCorps activity into specialized corps. One, an education corps; another, a health futures corps; another, a veterans corps; and another called opportunity corps. These are not outside of AmeriCorps. They will be subsets because we find this is where compelling human need is and at the same time offers great opportunity for volunteers to do it.
Opponent's argument to vote No:No senators spoke against the amendment.
Congressional Summary: Strengthen and Unite Communities with Civics Education and English Development Act of 2011: Allows state leadership activities grants to be used to provide technical assistance to faith and community-based organizations desiring grants under the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act:
Sponsor's Press Release (Rep. Mike Honda):The SUCCEED Act helps new Americans integrate into the social and economic fabric of this country, through English language education and civics instruction. The SUCCEED Act makes grants available to states to establish New American Councils that bring together business, faith, civic, philanthropic, non-profit and education stakeholders to create and implement immigrant integration programs.
Rep. HARE: The unemployed don't want another benefits check. They want a job. H.R. 4290 would tackle this problem by creating and helping retain millions of jobs. It will reach that goal by investing $60 billion per year over 3 years in TARP money.
Economic inequality is the result of two and a half decades of government policies and rules governing the economy being tilted in favor of large asset owners at the expense of wage earners. Tax policy, trade policy, monetary policy, government regulations and other rules have reflected this pro-investor bias. We propose the introduction or reintroduction of a package of legislative initiatives that will close America's economic divide and address both income and wealth disparities.

ESA POLinSAR 2007: Imaging forests
in 3-D
More than 140 scientists and researchers from 22 countries have attended the weeklong POLinSAR 2007 workshop, "Science and Applications of SAR Polarimetry and Polarimetric Interferometry," hosted at ESRIN, ESA's Earth Observation centre in Frascati, Italy, to hear the first space borne results and to attend interactive training sessions.
Polarimetric interferometry is performed using two polarimetric SAR images acquired from slightly different directions. The study of these data sets permits us to retrieve information related to the 3-D structure of forest or other natural volume scatterers, such as underlying topography, forest height and to estimate forest biomass – a quantitative estimate of the entire amount of organic material in a particular forest habitat.
Workshop participants saw the first POLinSAR in-orbit results from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's (JAXA) Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS). Launched on 24 January 2006, ALOS is supported as an ESA Third Party Mission.
"POLinSAR allows us to estimate key environmental parameters that are needed today. For instance, it allows us to make estimations of forest biomass on a global scale," said Konstantinos Papathanassiou, a researcher with the Radar and Microwaves Institute at German Aerospace Centre (DLR). "The conclusions from these global estimates may also be important for climate change modellers and decision makers."
The capability of radar to penetrate ground cover and 'see' the underlying terrain, coupled with POLinSAR techniques to detect forest canopies, make it possible to classify trees and estimate their height using SAR imagery. This may sound of interest only to a narrow band of scientists, until one realizes that determining the types and heights of trees in a forest are critical ingredients in determining its biomass.
In turn, forest's biomass, together with how it changes over time, are key elements in determining an area's capacity to act as a carbon sink, soaking up carbon-based gases and cleansing the atmosphere of major types of pollution blamed for the greenhouse effect and global warming. Producing accurate forest biomass estimates, and how they are changing over time, are a critical challenge to environmental scientists to whom national governments are turning for help in meeting their international obligations to stabilise greenhouse-gas emissions under the Kyoto Protocol.
Also at the workshop, ESA provided additional interactive training opportunities for the POLSARPRO tool developed by the University of Rennes 1, France, which includes a wide-ranging tutorial in Polarimetry and Polarimetric Interferometry. To date, some 700 registered users from 62 countries worldwide are using the tool.
Over the last 2 years, ESA has trained some 250 scientists to exploit Polarimetric airborne/spaceborne SAR data for science and applications development using in particular the POLSARPRO software and educational tool.
"POLinSAR is the starting point of future applications because we are at the point where new satellites will be launched, such as Germany's TerraSAR-X and Canada's Radarsat-2, that can provide polarimetry and interferometry," said Prof. Eric Pottier, head of the Radar Polarimetry Group at the University of Rennes. "Processing this kind of data will open many new application doors, so it is very important to train young students now to be able to handle this kind of data."

Aaron Eckhart's post-apocalyptic Frankenstein movie chooses a location. Director Bill Condon says something shocking about Breaking Dawn's special effects. Army reservists reveal secrets of being an Avengers extra. Plus showrunner Jeff Pinkner explains why Peter had to disappear on Fringe!
Spoilers from here on out!
Top image from Immortals.
The Dark Knight Rises
Here's a video spotlighting Bane and Batman's big fight. [IGN]
The six-minute prologue that will play before certain IMAX screenings of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol has reportedly been rated PG-13 by the MPAA for "some violence", which is about what you'd expect. [ComingSoon.net]
The Avengers
The United States Army has posted an article talking with reserve soldiers who did extra work as military police in the big climactic showdown that was recently filmed in Cleveland, which is standing in for New York City in the film. The piece mentions that the reservists played foot soldiers, drivers, and medics in the battle sequence. Here's a couple highlights:
Lt. Col. John Clearwater: "The combat scenes had great realism. It's a tribute to the U.S. Army Reserves and the veteran 391st MP Battalion. They rocked the streets of Cleveland with their 50-caliber machine guns and Mark-19's. The film crew was blown away by their firepower and teamwork."
Staff Sgt. Michael T. Landis: "It's easy for us to make on-the-spot corrections to tactics and uniforms. The director [Joss Whedon] actually took our recommendation on one scene and let us all engage the enemy as opposed to only the gunners in the trucks engaging."
The Amazing Spider-Man
I'd take this with a grain of salt, but here's some concept art from the movie's tie-in video game that shows, among other things, the Oscorp building and Peter Parker's apartment building. Of course, there's no way of knowing how much these actually resemble what we'll see in the movie itself. [Latino Review]
Splice director Vincenzo Natali's adaptation of William Gibson's iconic cyberpunk novel has reportedly found a star, at least according to producer Peter Hoffman. The producer says that Bruce Willis is attached to the project, as is Transformers producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura. However, according to Willis's representatives, he is only reading the script, which isn't nearly the same thing. Anyway, it's not clear which character Willis is playing, but the most likely guess is probably not lead character Henry Dorsett Case, but instead the shadowy former military officer Armitage. Anyway, take all this with a grain of salt until we hear more. [Thompson on Hollywood]
The Darkest Hour
Here's a new poster for the Moscow-set alien invasion thriller. [ComingSoon.net]
Here's some set footage from Tarsem Singh's Greek gods epic.
There's also a ton of interviews with stars Henry Cavill, Frieda Pinto, Luke Evans, and Stephen Dorff. You can check them all out in the gallery on the left.
Breaking Dawn
Director Bill Condon reveals that this film doesn't just have more pensive glares, breathy whispering, and gratuitous teen shirtlessness than James Cameron's Avatar... it's also got even more special effects shots. He explains:
The big thing is, it's got more special effects shots than Avatar. Almost every shot is a special effects shot and I'd never done that before so for me it was like going to school on all that stuff and I loved it - especially when we get into this stuff when it's really subtle, tiny little things that happened with Kristen as she gets sicker and sicker. To watch the way you can use it [special effects] to tell a story, it was a real revelation for me.
[BSC Kids]
I, Frankenstein
The film, which stars Aaron Eckhart as Frankenstein's monster who has survived for centuries and now fights crime in a post-apocalyptic city ripped apart by warring clans, has found its location. The movie is planning to shoot in Victoria, Australia, with production set to begin early next year. [Encore Magazine]
The Host
Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's other book has picked up another cast member for its big screen adaptation, as I Am Number Four and The Lovely Bones actor Jake Abel has been cast as Ian opposite star Saoirse Ronan, who plays a human resistance fighter whose mind is slowly consumed by a parasitic alien known as the Wanderer. Abel's character Ian is described as "a human who initially attacks Wanderer, but eventually falls in love with her", which... yep, that sounds like a Stephenie Meyer character all right. [Deadline]
Here There Be Monsters
Robert Zemeckis is reportedly no longer directing this movie, which is basically a biopic of Scottish-turned-America-turned-Russian naval legend John Paul Jones, just with sea monsters thrown in because history is boring, I guess. Zemeckis was originally attached to the project, which is written by L.A. Confidential and Mystic River writer Brian Helgeland and produced by The Fighter's Todd Lieberman. Speaking of which, Lieberman says he would love to cast his Fighter star Christian Bale as Jones. Here's Lieberman's take on the project, which only sounds like satire:
"It's an original idea that came from Thomas Tull, who runs Legendary Pictures. It's basically a retelling of the John Paul Jones story but inserting a sea monster into the mix. It could be a great, historical, epic, fun, sea monster movie -– something I've never done before. Hopefully we can get that one up and running."
Woman in Black
Here's a new photo of Daniel Radcliffe in his first post-Potter role, a young lawyer contending with an evil
spirit in the British countryside. [Fangoria]
Martin Weisz, the auteur behind The Hills Have Eyes II, has been hired to direct this psychological thriller written by Andrew Alexander. Here's the moderately intriguing synopsis:
Set in modern day, Dreamt tells the tale of two people who have a supernatural connection and therefore are actually dreaming in each other's lives. Conflict ensues after the men discover each other's existence, leading one man to try to take over the other's life and stopping at nothing to get it.
Killer Pizza
MGM has reportedly bought Adam Green's adaptation of the Greg Taylor novel, which is about "14-year old boy who lands a summer job at a pizza joint that is actually a front for a monster hunting enterprise." The movie is reportedly part of MGM's effort to develop movies along the lines as such well-remembered 80s films as The Goonies and Gremlins. [Deadline]
The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Steven Soderbergh's adaptation of the 1960s spy-fi series has lost its would-be star, as Bradley Cooper has reportedly passed on playing the American half of the spy team, Napoleon Solo. [The Wrap]
Executive producer Jeff Pinkner explains how Peter's disappearance ties into the show's larger emotional narrative, and that they're not just trying to frustrate viewers:
We are very, very, very mindful of not purposefully or even unintentionally frustrating the audience. We also know that… look, we love Peter. We love the relationship. We crafted that relationship. We didn't pull Peter out of the relationship because a) we didn't enjoy it or b) we didn't see where it could go forward. We're as frustrated as everyone. We're writing this show constantly — and by we, I mean all of us — and we're making the show from the point of view of fans who want to see our characters be happy. But in order to earn that, we need to go through patches where they aren't happy. Otherwise, there's no sunshine without rain, you know? Sometimes it gets boring living in Southern California weather — you take the sun for granted, as crazy as that sounds. That's why spring is so much more meaningful on the east coast than it is on the west coast because there's actually a change and rebirth. So for all of those feelings to have the appropriate degree of satisfaction [for Peter's return], you need to go through some rough places first.

Being Human (US)
Here's a promo for season two. There's also another at the link, along with some speculation. [BuddyTV]
The Vampire Diaries
Here's a sneak peek at tonight's episode, "Homecoming."
Star Paul Wesley's real-life wife Torrey DeVitto, who has previously been seen on Pretty Little Liars, has reportedly been cast as Mary, "an intelligent young doctor intrigued by Alaric's (Matt Davis) powers of recovery." The character will definitely appear in episodes ten and eleven, and it's thought likely that she will be a recurring character after that. [The Live Feed]
Girlfriends actress Persia White has reportedly been cast as Abby Bennett, the mother who abandoned Kat Graham's Bonnie. The character is described as "a beautiful but troubled woman who is burdened by the secrets of her past that led her to leave Bonnie" who is "as determined and fiery as any Bennett woman." The character will debut in episode twelve and recur after that. [EW]
The Secret Circle
Executive producer Andrew Miller explains how the show will deal with its source material, L.J. Smith's books:
"We're definitely not trying to get away from the books. In a weird way, I think in the next chunk [of episodes] we're almost embracing the books more. Because we can't follow the books as a road map, because it's so different, even just 13 to 6 and all of that stuff. On the horizon of the books are amazing relationships and dynamics that we're like, 'okay, good. We're going to reach for that and go for that and hit that.' Strangely, Nick is as big a departure as you could ever imagine, but then I think in the next few episodes we're, in a weird way, going closer to the books than we have in the past."
Green Lantern: The Animated Series
Hal Jordan voice actor Josh Keaton explains his approach to the character:
Well, everything comes back to Hal and how he was before he was a Green Lantern and in his earth life. Now he's not on earth and is in outer space, but he's still going to deal with his problems the same way. He's still going to have that fighter pilot attitude, and he's going to take those risks and run purely on his instinct. I think that's a bit foreign to the Guardians who aren't used to that. And while Hal has some respect for authority, he still lives by his own code. There's that butting of heads with the Guardians as a result, and that's all grounded in his earth dealings for sure.
He also discusses which comics most informed his performance:
The things that really helped me hone in my performance were comics like "Secret Origin." That's one I took a lot of inspiration from. That really gave an insight to me into his family life — into the dynamic between his mother and brother and what happened with his father. Something that stuck with me was that image of Hal risking being disowned by heading out on his 18th birthday to enlist while wearing his dad's flight jacket. That was hugely powerful to me, and it kind of summed him up. And as the recording process went on, I kept reading more and more GL and am still reading. Some of the issues with Kyle [Rayner] where you see Hal's reaction to everything he knows being gone — that was also very telling as to his character. So my interpretation of Hal came pretty directly from the comics. I looked at the character art, made a couple of audio/voice choices, and then the attitude came from what I read.

Last night Book TV re-aired a three-hour interview with the late Shelby Foote, filmed in the study of his Memphis home. (It's available online here.) I'd already seen it and didn't intend to watch it again, but after a few minutes I was hooked. Of course, Foote made his living by hooking people with his stories, but I found the viewers who called in as interesting as Foote himself.
To me, "writer" and "author" have different connotations. The term "writer" connotes an artist whose medium is language, while "author" connotes an expert, an "authority." Most of the callers approached Foote as the latter. A great many addressed him as "Dr. Foote," and there were a lot of the big questions that professional historians tackle: What happened to the soldiers after 1865? How would you assess Hood's generalship?
Many professional historians, of course, have criticized Foote heavily; historians are as jealous of their guild as any other professionals. I believe their anger is misplaced. Foote never pretended to be anything but what he was: a writer who happened to write about the Civil War, in which he had an intense interest and about which he knew a great deal. By titling his three-volume work The Civil War: A Narrative, he deflected the charges of pretension that so many have leveled at him. One caller, in fact, noted that Foote was more properly a storyteller in the Homeric mold than a scholar, and Foote thanked him for the compliment.
I remarked that Foote fielded a lot of big questions during the program. What was really remarkable, though, was the fact that no question was too small to be asked. A surprisingly large number of callers wanted to know where to find information about ancestors who served in the war. Some asked about connections between the war and their communities. People considered Foote an authority, but an approachable one. His success as a historian wasn't in spite of his status as a writer, but because of it.
Today there are few historians who have both the authority's expertise and the writer's talent. David Hackett Fischer is one of them; James McPherson is another. Until there are more, the people who have the most impact on the public's understanding of history will be the storytellers of the page and the screen who can connect with hearts and minds. Foote did it better than most, and I think his standing as both authority and writer was well-deserved.

Call for Media: Rosetta flyby of asteroid Lutetia on 10 July
ESA PR-14 2010: The media are invited to ESA's Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, to follow Rosetta's encounter with asteroid Lutetia on 10 July, 18:00–23:00 CEST. The first images of the asteroid will be released before midnight, with experts available for interview.
ESA's Rosetta comet-chaser is en route to its main target, comet 67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko, arriving in 2014. On Saturday, 10 July, it will fly past the previously unvisited asteroid Lutetia.
This is an important milestone in Rosetta's long voyage, which began in 2004, and marks a rare opportunity to observe a primitive body such as an asteroid.
After encountering Lutetia, Rosetta will not perform scientific activities until reaching Churyumov-Gerasimenko in May 2014. It will then observe the comet for 18 months, releasing a lander onto the comet in November 2014.
Lutetia will be the second asteroid studied during Rosetta's journey. The Steins flyby took place on 5 September 2008, approaching to within 800 km.
Lutetia is a much bigger asteroid, so the flyby will be no closer than about 3200 km. Any nearer and Rosetta would not be able to fit the whole asteroid into the camera's field of view.
The close pass will allow around two hours of observational opportunities. The spacecraft will rapidly begin beaming its data to Earth and the first pictures will be released later that evening.
The Rosetta science and flight operations teams will be on hand to provide commentary, and to answer questions during the event.

text: World-Renowned Sculptor Unveils Christ Statue at St. Joseph Hospital in Orange Jun 18, 2012 Contributor: World-renowned sculptor John M. Soderberg, PhD, locally known for his prominent bronze works at the Christ Cathedral (formerly Crystal Cathedral), unveiled an 1,800 pound bronze sculpture near the entrance of St. Joseph Health – St. Joseph Hospital in Orange on Thursday. The sculpture, entitled "Christ the Healer," was commissioned and donated by Evelyn Wilden Freed and Dr. Frank Holston Freed. "Christ the Healer is suited for the hospital," said Evelyn Wilden Freed, who donated the statue along with her husband, Dr. Frank Holston Freed. "Faith is so important in the healing process and I hope the statue will give hope and comfort to the patients." "This statue is a wonderful representation of who we are and our commitment to serving our dear neighbors," said St. Joseph Hospital President and CEO Steve Moreau. "I'm very proud that the Christ the Healer statue is one of the first images our patients and their families will see as they arrive at our hospital." The unveiling was attended by the artist and donors, in addition to St. Joseph Hospital physicians, staff and friends. "I am honored to have worked on this monument for St. Joseph Hospital, especially as I have found the patron, Evelyn Freed, to be one of the finest people I have met," Soderberg said. About St. Joseph Health – St. Joseph Hospital Founded in 1929, St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, California, is a nationally recognized, 525-bed, not-for-profit Catholic hospital dedicated to extending the healing ministry of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange. Fully accredited by The Joint Commission and designated as a Magnet hospital for nursing excellence, St. Joseph Hospital's reputation for clinical excellence and compassionate, family-centered care draws patients from all over the United States. This is one reason why St. Joseph Hospital was named one of the top 10 hospitals in the Los Angeles/Orange County area by U.S. News & World Report. With a highly recognized 1,000-member medical staff and more than 3,800 support staff, St. Joseph Hospital is home to more than 75 specialty programs, including The Center for Cancer Prevention and Treatment, the Heart and Vascular Center and a nationally acclaimed Orthopedics program that has been ranked among the top 50 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Equally important is St. Joseph Hospital's dedication to caring for the medically underserved through health education programs, a free-standing medical and dental clinic, and mobile health vans. St. Joseph Hospital depends on philanthropic support from the community to carry out its mission. These efforts are coordinated through the St. Joseph Hospital Foundation.

After about 15 years away from the Hoosier State, I returned to my paramedical alma mater as an instructor in the education department. I also resumed working the street part time. The hospital ambulance service has one of the most intensive and extensive orientation programs in the firmament of EMS. The good news is that it's comprehensive; the bad news is that it's difficult to recruit part-time medics when they have to take a two-week vacation to attend orientation.
Despite its comprehensiveness, however, I somehow failed to learn one little rule. I don't remember if I just didn't absorb it or if it was one of the service's inevitable unwritten rules. For whatever reason, I was unaware of it — and I would soon pay the price. This rule was: "Thou shalt not call a code on an intercept."
I was working my regular Saturday day shift on the busiest rig in town. Shortly after I was released from orientation to street duty we were dispatched for a medic intercept with an inbound cardiac arrest from a neighboring county. That county's service hadn't yet gone ALS, so this was a pretty common occurrence. We were to meet them at the county line, about a 20-minute drive from the hospital.
We pulled over at the county line, and they pulled over onto the shoulder a short time later. I had my monitor and drug bag over my shoulder when I opened the side door of their rig. One EMT was in the back; he was alternating between bagging and compressing. He had been doing this for the 20 minutes they had been transporting the patient from the county lockup where he had been found in cardiac arrest. Total down time had to have been at least 45 minutes by the time he got to me.
I took one look at the patient from the door and could see that not only was he dead, he was dead-dead. Dead-dead is the term I use in my classes to describe patients on whom no resuscitation attempt should be made. In other words, it's shorthand for "decapitation, transaction, rigor-mortis or dependent lividity," and this patient exhibited the latter big time. His skin was cold and pasty and he was, shall we say, purple on the bottom.
The EMT explained that they had gotten ventricular fibrillation twice on the monitor during transport. I glanced at their monitor, which looked like a LIFEPAK 350 B.C., one of the early manual AEDs the size of a suitcase with a little 2-inch by 2-inch window that pretended to be a monitor screen. Of course, several things were wrong with this scenario. First, in Indiana, basic and advanced EMTs were not trained or permitted to utilize an ECG monitor. Second, the device was ancient and probably responding to artifact. Third, there was no way this dead-dead guy was fibrillating within the last half hour.
So I got on the cell and asked the emergency department (ED) doc, who also happened to be our medical director, if I could call the code. She said "Yes." Then I asked everyone present if anyone had an objection to terminating the resuscitation — something I've made a habit of doing since I appreciated it being done years before when I worked in a pediatric trauma center. Nobody indicated they had an objection.
I called the code, and we transported the patient to the hospital per protocol.
Soon thereafter I got a call from our clinical director. "Guy, maybe nobody told you, but we don't call codes on intercepts."
I asked, "Why not?"
"Politics," she answered. She then explained that an irate county EMS director called her after the run. Apparently, one or both EMTs in the truck objected to the termination ex post, and the County Coroner blew an O-ring. "Why," I asked? Well, apparently the coroner was upset because it was unclear on which side of the county line I called the code, resulting in a jurisdictional problem. My suggestion that, in fact, the guy actually died at the jail was not accepted. Nor was my argument that politics was no excuse to put EMS crews and civilians at risk by transporting dead bodies with lights and sirens. Of course, I also understood the importance of inter-service harmony.
Epilogue: About six years later I applied to that same county service to do some PRN (pro re nata) medic work after they went ALS. Initially, I was told by the director (not the same one who had blown a gasket) that I was hired. But weeks passed, and my phone and e-mail messages went unanswered. Eventually I saw the guy at the ambulance bay and he admitted that — you guessed it — when he asked around about hiring me, guys from that run six years earlier were still mad about that call. I guess the moral of the story is, well — draw your own conclusions.

Carlos Quentin will try to have fun next year:
Yet, this young talent, who can be quite thoughtful and humorous with his comments, walks around with a semi-permanent scowl. He doesn't seem to be enjoying a game where he has excelled, and that problem has become one Quentin said he will address in the offseason.
"I want to make sure, I need to do all I can to make sure my efforts on the field are in the right direction," said Quentin, carefully choosing his words while addressing this topic on Tuesday. "When I say that, I mean in a sense of right direction as always positive, always directed toward enjoying this game."
… "That's basically what I have to say about that," said Quentin, without going into specific detail of his plans. "I have to take steps to do that in the offseason, and I will."
Take it easy Carlos, you'll bite someone while telling them you want to have fun!

"The summer night is like a perfection of thought. "
- Wallace Stevens
This is the best cobbler I've ever made. Sometimes I make cobblers and don't blog about them because I'm not in love with them. As a matter of fact, I just threw out the remains of the last one as I put this one in the fridge, this one is already gone, (from being eaten) damn, it's good.
Fresh raspberries from my very own raspberry bushes
|peaches and a few nectarines
Tis the season for fruit desserts. Fresh Summer fruit just might be my favorite thing about the season. As I write this, we have ripe raspberries and blackberries on bushes, and peaches, pears and apples hanging from trees
|My fruit after mixing it up with the sugar and flour - I baked this in a 2 1/2 quart Pyrex Cinderella bowl and it was the perfect size
|Just before adding the butter to the flour mixture to make the topping - It only calls for a stick and a tablespoon of butter, I didn't use all of the butter in the photo.
|After adding the butter cut into pieces
So, clearly, I need a cobbler recipe that I love in my back pocket.
|After mixing that butter up into the flour mixture - I used the pastry blender in the photo and then switched to using my hands after I got it cut up good using the pastry blender.
|After adding the boiling water - you just need to mix it a few times till it comes together, don't mix it up too much
When we first moved here 7 years ago, we planted a lot of fruit trees. I'm telling you, it feels like it's taken an eternity for them to bear fruit!
|Ready for the oven
But I'm super happy they have!
|My raspberry bushes
|Our Peach Tree
|More of my raspberry bushes, I just love them. Thanks Suzanne!
You can use any fruit you'd like. Peaches only, nectarines, plums, berries, cherries, or a combination of a few. Either way, I think you and your family with adore this simple mouthwatering Summer treat!
I hope you're having a fun and relaxing Summer!
Here are a few more summer fruit recipes I love -
Any Fruit Crisp
Double Crust Peach Pie made with Fresh Peaches - This one has a delicious, very flaky, all butter crust.
This vintage Pyrex Sandalwood Cinderella Bowl is available at my Etsy shop, Coco's Kitchen. Where I sell vintage kitchen items and vintage cookbooks. You'll find vintage pots and pans, vintage Pyrex, vintage cake carriers, and lots more!
Did you know? These vintage milk glass Pyrex bowls were made completely different than current day Pyrex. It's the current Pyrex bowls that have had problems with exploding. I've never heard of these vintage opal Pyrex having any problems when baking in the oven. So they not only look prettier, but they are much more solid and well made.
Check out this great collection of Pyrex!
Vintage Embroidered Tablecloth, Mid Century Knowles bowls, and the vintage silverplated spoons, are available at my Etsy shop, House of Lucien.
Fresh Peach Cobbler with a Biscuit Crust
As I mentioned, you can use any stone fruit or berries, or a combination. One peach equals about 1 cup of fruit, or 167 g. so use 6 cups total of fruit.
Ingredients for Cobbler
About 5 large peaches, chopped in large bite size pieces
About 1 cup (167 g.) fresh raspberries
1/2 - 2/3 cup (100 - 165 g.) sugar - if you use raspberries the larger amount of sugar is better, due to the tartness
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice - If you use raspberries I think it's optional - If you use only peaches that are sweet, I think the lemon juice is a good ideaIngredients for Topping
3 Tablespoons Flour
3 Tablespoons Flour
1 cup (150 g.) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (100 g.) sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick (6 Tablespoons) cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup (59 ml.) boiling water
Coarse sugar for topping - optional but recommended
Preheat oven to 400 Degrees Fahrenheit, 200 Degrees Celsius, or Gas Mark 6. Start a pot of boiling water.
In a large bowl, with your clean hands, toss together the fruit, sugar, lemon juice (if using) and the flour.
Make the topping. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the chopped cold butter and mix together using a pastry blender or 2 knives. I start using my hands after I get it started. Mix it until it's a coarse meal. Add the boiling water and stir until it just comes together. It will come together easily after you add the boiling water.
Drop the topping like biscuits on top of the fruit. Sprinkle the biscuits with coarse sugar.
Bake for 35-40 minutes. Until the top is nice and golden brown. Check the center to make sure the biscuits are cooked through. If they aren't, bake until they are done. If needed, you can place a cookie sheet over the cobbler, so the top won't brown anymore but it will cook the center.
I hope you love this recipe as much as I do! Happy Baking!

Thursday night (2/17/11), I attended a Tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen sponsored by the Community College of Baltimore County's Aviation Club, Black Student Union and History Club. It was a thrill! Guests Dr. Cyril O. Byron, an original Tuskegee Airman (part of the ground crew) and Bill Peterson (a heritage Tuskegee Airman–his father was an original and he was the paperboy from 1945-46, later joining three years after integration) shared some of the experiences of serving in the military during the era of segregation.
During World War II, many black military units were minimized. There were exceptions, such as the 761st Tank Battalion that served 183 consecutive days following General Patton. The Navy had the Golden 13. Black nurses served, but could not treat white combatants. The Marines did not commission a black officer until November 10, 1945. And, the colonel in command of the Tuskegee Airmen was a graduate of West Point, Col. Theo Davis, Jr., where he spent his four years in isolation, no one speaking to him.
Those who attended the tribute heard about popular contemporary fears that Army Air Corps-trained pilots from the Tuskegee program might seek work as commercial pilots after the war. Everywhere the squadron went they were unwelcome. At one point during the evening, a brief clip was shown that featured three Tuskegee original pilots. Capt. Luther H. Smith, inspired at a young age by Charles Lindberg's daring trans-Atlantic flight, was shot down on a mission, but told friends and colleagues that he was treated better as a POW than he was in America or in the military. Lt. Col. Lee Buddy Archer, the Ace of the Red Tails, explained how as a boy in Saratoga Springs a pilot who was selling airplane rides for $5 refused his father and added to his determination to fly. Col. Charles McGee, an original Tuskegee pilot flew in World War II, Korea and Vietnam, logging the most combat hours (as far as they knew) of any combat pilot.
Dr. Cyril O. Byron, now ninety years old, was a sophomore at Morgan State College when Uncle Sam invited him to join the Army, in 1942. After time spent in New York, he was transferred down to Tuskegee, AL and assigned to the 99th Fighter Squadron. He described Tuskegee as being as unfriendly to the colored units, as they were known, as one might guess. They could not go into town. If they wanted to watch a movie, they needed to make arrangements in advance at the base, go down to the cinema in one truck, wait while one man bought all the tickets and then file in through the side door and up to the balcony. And, all this while wearing the uniform of the United States Army! Dr. Byron said he actively chose to think positively adhering to his father's words, "Don't resent what you can't prevent."
The squadron would eventually be sent overseas, but would bounce around from unit to unit–all of the first few being British units–until they were assigned to an American base in Salerno, Italy. Italian children would ask for candy then circle around the airmen. At the time, they thought it was just a ploy to get more candy out of them, but then someone spoke to the children and learned that they had been told that black men had tails. Italians familiar with American culture would ask the airmen why they fought for freedoms that they did not have in America. It was hard to answer such queries.
As an escort squadron, recognized by the red paint on the tails of their P-51 Mustangs–thus their nickname, "Red Tails"–they became one of the most requested units by bomber squadrons who had no idea that the pilots were black. They were in such high demand, in fact, that one of the leaders named his aircraft, "By Request". A couple of years ago, Dr. Byron said a white man approached him to thank him for the success rate of the Red Tails, because his father had always insisted that had it not been for them he would not have survived the war. Nonetheless, back on American soil, even German POWs had more access on American bases than the successful Tuskegee Airmen because of the color of their skin. It would take 62 years for the United States to finally award medals of recognition to the airmen.
Following the war, Dr. Byron would finish his degree and then proceed to NYU for his Masters and further to Temple for his Ed.D. Peterson would join up three years after the armed forces were integrated and through the military complete his education.
The presentation concluded with a final thank you from a CCBC aviation student, Doug, who had been a part of the Tuskegee Youth and Aviation Program at College Park, MD–CCBC awarded a $500 donation to the same program in gratitude for Mr. Peterson and Dr. Byron's presentations and time Thursday evening. Doug expressed his thanks briefly, not only for the direct involvement he had in their program, but also for the legacy that they had handed down to him from the days of segregation.
The evening's events concluded with the movie, The Tuskegee Airmen. It was a special evening and the parties involved at CCBC did a terrific job in bringing it all together!

Wayne Rooney will not be offered an extension to his Manchester United deal
Manchester United say they are not planning to hand unsettled striker Wayne Rooney a new contract.
Last Updated: 15/07/13 8:21am
But manager David Moyes has again stressed that the England man, who has been linked with Chelsea and Paris St-Germain, is very much part of his plans for the upcoming season.
Rooney, who has had to leave United's pre-season tour with a hamstring injury, has two years left on his current contract but an extension is not on United's agenda.
Chief executive Ed Woodward said: "No contract renewals are being discussed. I am not sitting down with any player on an extension and there is no trigger date in the diary.
"Would we be afraid to run a contract down? Of course not."
Major role to play
However, Moyes still sees Rooney as a key figure at Old Trafford and said: "I think he's got a major role to play, because we need to get as many goals as we possibly can.
"I think Wayne can play up-top, he can play dropped in. If for any reason we had an injury to Robin (van Persie) we're going to need him and I want to be able to play the two of them.
"It's a chance for me to get Wayne right back to where he was. That's a challenge I want to take on.
"But I've also got to make sure we don't just concentrate on him. Manchester United isn't about Wayne Rooney.
"Manchester United is about the team, the club. What I won't allow is Wayne Rooney to become more important than the football club."

Majority of Christians Hate Christian TV, Survey Finds
Chief Executive of DoersTV.com, Pastor David Wright, has polled his channel's more than 100,000 Facebook fans to find out what they think of Christian TV – and he was more than a little surprised by the results.
Wright was shocked to discover that the vast majority said they hate Christian TV and do not watch it. He said that 90 percent of the feedback to his poll was negative.
Comments in the response posts indicated several major turn-offs when it comes to Christian TV:
- Too much begging for money and fundraising telethons
- False prosperity teachers manipulating people for offerings
- Boring and a lack of quality programming
- Lack of integrity of Christian leaders being broadcast
Wright said he was "flabbergasted" by the responses.
"I kind of expected there would be those Christians who thought Christian TV was too boring or not relevant for the times, but I never would have imagined the disdain thousands of Christians have for Christian TV," he said.
"Unfortunately, the greed for money has replaced the need for ministry among many of our ministers and Christian TV networks. People are fed up with the lust for material things."
He added that a lack of integrity among pastors and leaders of today has played a major role in the negative perception of Christian TV.
"We can't have pastors indulging in sin and expect people not to be turned off," he said.

Here's the teaser for Park Chan Wook's vampire film "Thirst". I have no idea what's going on since it's in Korean but people seem excited so I'm just going to go with it.
The guy who wrote "Watchmen", David Hayter is going to direct a werewolf thriller called "Slaughter's Road". No real details as of yet, but Thomas Dekker ("The Sarah Connor Chronicles") and Ray Stevenson ("Punisher: War Zone") are in talks to star.
AICN has the first look at "Goon", the CGI adaptation of Eric Powell's comic book of the same name, being produced by David Fincher. I've never heard of the property but it looks pretty sweet to me.
I'm sure this movie "And Soon the Darkness" is about something. Personally, I stopped reading after "starring Amber Heard and Odette Youstman". What are they trying to start the apocalypse? Do they sincerely thing our pea-brains can handle all that hotness on one movie screen?
Officials are trying to ban genital waxing in New Jersey. This should be fine, since there aren't any hairy Italian people running around... oh wait...
Hiding stuff in plain sight is sometimes a great tact... unless of course you're talking about growing weed. In that case, keeping the plants on your front porch might not be a great idea.
When he dies Michael Jackson plans to be "plastinated", just like those poor Chinese people in the "Body Worlds" exhibit currently traveling the country. Enjoy that breakfast!
1942: John Wayne Gacy, part time clown, serial killer, and sodomizer of dozens of boys, is born in Chicago. His father was convinced Gacy was a "sissy", but friends and family didn't really suspect anything untoward was afoot until his 1968 arrest for coercing a teenage boy employee into committing multiple homosexual acts.

Every school should consider having someone inside with a gun, according to National School Shield Task Force director Asa Hutchinson. NBC's Pete Williams reports.
Months after the National Rifle Association first floated the idea of getting more armed staffers in schools to prevent another Sandy Hook massacre, the idea is slowly gaining traction in some states and districts.
On Tuesday, the NRA fleshed-out leader Wayne LaPierre's initial response to the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn. The report included a model program on how to train and arm school personnel to respond in the event of an active shooter.
The goal is to "give the schools more tools to respond quickly and reduce the loss of lives," former Republican congressman Asa Hutchinson said while presenting the report.
LaPierre's idea was mocked by some political leaders when it was first proposed in Decmeber -- "What's next? Armed guards at Starbucks and Little League games?" asked California Senate leader Darrell Steinberg, a Democrat.
But polling suggests Americans are open to armed guards or staffers, and some lawmakers and school leaders are moving forward.
The Florida House Education Subcommittee approved a bill at the end of March that would arm employees by allowing principals or district superintendents to select individuals to be exempted from prohibitions on carrying firearms on school property.
Tennessee school districts would be allowed to hire additional security personnel or arm a staff member under new legislation.
"This is just an option for those schools who don't have school resource officers," Tennessee Rep. Eric Watson, a Republican, told a local newspaper. "This gives schools an option to hire their own security or want staff members willing to serve in that security capacity. Of course, they have to go through a lot of series of training to get to that point."
Watson's bill would require that applicants pass an 8-hour handgun safety course. Critics of bills like the one in Tennessee have questioned how much training should be required before someone is allowed to carry a gun in a building full of children.
"Is it a good idea to have private citizens who have had a few hours of training bringing guns into schools? Probably not," said Arkadi Gerney, a Center for American Progress fellow who works on gun policy. "That may end up creating risks instead of reducing risks."
The Connecticut towns of North Branford and Enfield have already approved the placement of armed guards in all of their public schools.
"We want to throw as many hurdles as we can before an armed gunman can get into a building," Enfield police Chief Carl Sferrazza said in March, The Associated Press reported. A job listing for a part-time armed school security officer is now posted on the department's website. A section listing "Tools & Equipment Used" names one item: "Handgun."
Guards began patrolling the schools in Marlboro, N.J., barely two weeks after the Newtown, the first school in the state to bring in armed officers after the shooting.
The measure drew skepticism from Republican Governor Chris Christie, who said placing guards among students risked turning school buildings into "an armed camp for kids."
"I don't think that's a positive example for children," Christie said. "We should be able to figure out some other ways to enhance safety, it seems to me."
For the most part, critics say, there's been something less than a national movement to embrace arming school staffers.
"It doesn't look like a serious effort, certainly not a serious national effort to address the real problem," said Jon Vernick, co-director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research. "There really isn't any evidence that that sort of thing is effective."
Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio caused a stir in February when he recruited action film star Steven Seagal to train a group of volunteers in what the self-proclaimed "America's Toughest Sheriff" said were exercises in how to protect against school shooters.
"I am here to try to teach the posse firearms and martial arts to try to help them learn how to respond quicker and help protect our children," Seagal said, according to Reuters.
As lawmakers continue to debate tighter federal regulations on firearms, the rifle association's decision to focus on school guards steers attention from other gun bills that could do more to curb gun violence, Gerney said.
"To think of that as the only answer is a distraction and an effort to shift the debate away from the measures that are going to shift the debate from measures that would really make a difference," Gerney said. "The best way to make our kids safer whether they're in school or not in school is to make it harder for bad guys to get guns in the first place."

See full list of Medical Services
At Maimonides Medical Center our commitment to excellence in patient care and respect for cultural diversity forms the foundation for our work environment
We are pleased to provide you with information on jobs and volunteer opportunities. You will find that at Maimonides there are always options for advancing in your chosen profession or for exploring new career paths. We are proud of the fact that our employees enjoy working here so much so that many of them refer candidates for employment. It is yet another confirmation that Maimonides is one of the best places to work.
Maimonides has enjoyed sound financial performance at a time when many hospitals have struggled under the pressures of the health care reimbursement environment. This financial stability has allowed us to plan new facilities, recruit new staff, and continue to improve our level of services.
We offer a generous benefits package including medical, dental and life insurance, 403b retirement savings plan and pension plan, long-term disability insurance, tuition assistance, and more.
If you think all management jobs in health care are alike, think again. We search for managers who are as strong in their leadership skills as their technical expertise. The combination of inspiring leadership and technical know-how allows us to bring out the best in our workers and to continue our commitment to service excellence. For example, how many hospitals allow joint hiring of management? We do. We believe that wherever possible, both labor and management should have the opportunity to interview candidates for leadership positions. We want strong, high-performing work teams everywhere in the hospital, and teamwork is critical to achieving that goal.
We also want our management staff to feel supported and valued. Our compensation, benefits and training programs are designed to be competitive for both the recruitment and the retention of management talent. We know that quality management expects challenges and the opportunity to make a difference. Our managers are exposed to a variety of interdepartmental projects and committee work.
When you interview for a management position at the Medical Center, let us know what other interests you have, chances are you may find them at Maimonides.
What matters most to you? If you want flexible work schedules, meaningful work, empowered work teams, enlightened supervision, competitive pay and benefits, and a stable, financially secure employer, Maimonides is the best choice for you.
Please have credentials and references readily available. We require that all newly hired staff undergo criminal background checks and drug testing.
Interns are a valuable resource, whether for special projects or as potential candidates for future openings. Reaching out to local academic institutions for interns is just one way that we connect with the many communities we serve. Through these internships, we afford students valuable insight into the healthcare environment under structured, well-supervised leadership. Assignments are challenging and the supervisors among the finest professionals in their fields.
Every year, former employees return to Maimonides Medical Center, and we are pleased to consider them for employment opportunities.
If you return within twelve months after leaving there will be no impact on your previously earned seniority. You will be re-instated rather than rehired, which means that your previous time worked counts toward your pension benefits.
If you are a registered nurse on an approved leave of absence and are wondering whether to return to Maimonides, remember that at the end of a leave of absence of more than three months, but no more than six months, for maternity or one single illness, you will be entitled to return to work in your former title, without loss of previously accrued seniority.
Another important benefit that may be helpful to your personal lifestyle needs is the modified part-time nurse program. This benefit allows you to work a part-time schedule, where you work full time for only part of the year, but receive health benefits as if you were full time.
