Update went well.Still can't directly access individual pages of the web UI (still getting the "forbidden" message), but at least they didn't block the "referrer" trick when using curl.
Someone needs to update the support page at http://support.dlink.com/ProductInfo.aspx?m=DCS-933L as the latest version there is 1.13. Rather annoying to go through the process of downloading and installing assuming that someone was actually maintaining that page. If I wasn't on the forums, I'd have kept wasting time trying to upgrade and getting messages that I have to upgrade.
To get the url page back try this. It worked for me, but it might not work for your camera. (I only had to enter the following one time)First, connect to your camera ip address (ipaddr), LOG IN/ON using admin as user and your camera password (or leave blank if camera password not set).(Replace (ipaddr) with your camera ip address.)This should connect you to http://(ipaddr)/m which is a non functional webpage.Second, then type into the web address bar http://admin:root@(ipaddr) without the /m . You may need to enter user name admin and camera password againExample: http://10.0.0.65Username : admin (example)Password : 12345678http://10.0.0.65/mhttp:admin:email@example.com : admin (example)Password : 12345678 http://10.0.0.65/

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
I am most thankful today for my family, friends and health of all.
Not far behind those, I am thankful for my yarn and knitting that get me through the days. Also thankful for this healthy lifestyle I have been living, though tonight my early Turkey Trot is catching up with me.
We are enjoying the rest of the evening with this crew.
Enjoy! Be a pilgrim.
Let the holidays begin!
PS. Happy Birthday to Erin, not mine but hers!

Richard Durbin on War & Peace
Democratic Sr Senator (IL)
Sen. DURBIN: The last thing we want is the launch of any kind of nuclear missile or nuclear weapon on the Korean peninsula. We've got to deescalate the rhetoric and the testing that's going on in North Korea and we're turning primarily to China, to tell the North Koreans if they want to continue this kind of escalation of rhetoric, it's at the expense of the safety of this world, as well as their own economy.
Q: Sen. Cornyn, a year ago, you accused Obama of a policy of appeasement towards North Korea.
Sen. CORNYN (R-TX): Well, I'm not for paying an unhinged leader like Kim Jong Un ransom in order to have him toned down his rhetoric. None of us wants [nuclear conflict]. But I don't see that this policy of paying ransom just to get him to tone down rhetoric has been successful. It's just sort of like a bad movie. We keep seeing the reruns.
"Personally, and I can speak for many members of our caucus, we are products of the Vietnam experience," said Representative Dick Durbin of Illinois. "We are really touched by the possibility that we may be repeating that experience."
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. LEVIN: "The amendment requires redeployment be completed within 9 months. At that point, funding for the war would be ended, with four narrow exceptions:"
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. McCAIN: "This year, after nearly 4 years of mismanaged war, our military has made significant gains under the so-called surge. Overall violence in Iraq has fallen to its lowest level since [2003]. Improvised explosive device blasts now occur at a rate lower than at any point since September 2004.
"Al-Qaida's leadership knows which side is winning in Iraq. It may not be known in some parts of America and in this body, but al-Qaida knows. We are succeeding under the new strategy.
"Given these realities, some proponents of precipitous withdrawal from Iraq have shifted their focus. While conceding, finally, that there have been dramatic security gains, they have begun seizing on the lackluster performance of the Iraqi Government to insist that we should abandon the successful strategy and withdraw U.S. forces. This would be a terrible mistake."
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. LIEBERMAN: Some of our colleagues thought the Sense of the Senate may have opened the door to some kind of military action against Iran [so we removed some text]. That is not our intention. In fact, our intention is to increase the economic pressure on Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps so that we will never have to consider the use of the military to stop them from what they are doing to kill our soldiers.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. BIDEN. I will oppose the Kyl-Lieberman amendment for one simple reason: this administration cannot be trusted. I am very concerned about the evidence that suggests that Iran is engaged in destabilizing activities inside Iraq. Arguably, if we had a different President who abided by the meaning and intent of laws we pass, I might support this amendment. I fear, however, that this President might use the designation of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity as a pretext to use force against Iran as he sees fit. [The same was done with the Senate resolution on Iraq in 2002]. Given this President's actions and misuse of authority, I cannot support the amendment.
Proponents recommend voting YES because:
Our troops are caught in the midst of a civil war. The administration has begun to escalate this war with 21,000 more troops. This idea is not a new one. During this war, four previous surges have all failed. It is time for a different direction. It is time for a drawdown of our troops.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
This resolution calls for imposing an artificial timeline to withdraw our troops from Iraq, regardless of the conditions on the ground or the consequences of defeat; a defeat that will surely be added to what is unfortunately a growing list of American humiliations. This legislation would hobble American commanders in the field and substantially endanger America's strategic objective of a unified federal democratic Iraq that can govern, defend, and sustain itself and be an ally in the war against Islamic fascism. The unintended consequence of this resolution is to bring to reality Osama bin Laden's vision for Iraq; that after 4 years of fighting in Iraq the US Congress loses its will to fight. If we leave Iraq before the job is done, as surely as night follows day, the terrorists will follow us home. Osama bin Laden has openly said: America does not have the stomach to stay in the fight. He is a fanatic. He is an Islamic fascist. He is determined to destroy us and our way of life.
Title: Condemning bigotry and violence against Sikh Americans in the wake of terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001.
Summary: Declares that, in the quest to identify, locate, and bring to justice the perpetrators and sponsors of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, the civil rights and liberties of all Americans, including Sikh-Americans, should be protected.
Sponsor's introductory remarks: Sen. BIDEN: This bipartisan resolution opposes the President's plan to escalate the war in Iraq. This resolution says what we and many of our colleagues, Democrats and Republicans, are against: deepening America's military involvement in Iraq by escalating our troop presence. Just as important, it says what we and many of our colleagues are for: a strategy that can produce a political settlement in Iraq. That's the only way to stop Shiites and Sunnis from killing each other and allow our troops to leave Iraq without leaving chaos behind.
Calling for the urgent deployment of a robust and effective multinational peacekeeping mission with sufficient size, resources, leadership, and mandate to protect civilians in Darfur.
Legislative Outcome: Agreed to by Senate by Unanimous Consent.
"America's reputation internationally has been severely damaged and critical military, diplomatic, and intelligence resources have been diverted from the war in Afghanistan--a war I supported, and a country this administration has increasingly neglected. And now, after so many errors, so many lives, and so much damage, this administration is again raising the prospect of yet another war in the Middle East--this time a war with Iran.
"I fear this administration has learned nothing from the colossal error, colossal misjudgment in the invasion of Iraq. Let me be clear: I am gravely concerned about Iran's activities in the region and its nuclear agenda. But any offensive action against Iran must be approved by Congress.
"Recent statements by this administration give me concern that this administration is considering just this--an offensive military action against Iran without the consent of Congress. Both Pres. Bush and Vice Pres. Cheney have made public remarks about Iran that suggest an administration readying for military aggression. We know Cheney's historic views on fundamental checks and balances in our constitution. They are disturbing."

Okay, I have noticed that it seems everyone, from my co-workers to customers, to my girlfriend, to myself is just irritable as hell today. I work in a restaurant, tending bar and waiting tables, so I'm used to getting absolutely stupid and annoying comments. Usually I brush them off, smile and keep on being polite. But I actually was surprised at how annoying people were today. Also, I argued with one of my customers, which I never do. Argued until she just stopped talking to me. Of cousre, I felt bad afterwards, and couldn't figure out what possessed me to argue with her. I just wonder, in light of yesterday's events, if this is a national phenomenon and if anyone else has noticed it. I think everyone was shocked and amazed yesterday, and now the anxiety and anger are setting in, making people jumpy. And also grouchy.

A man charged with using Craiglist to lure three people to their deaths has been convicted of murder.
The jury in an Akron, Ohio, courtroom yesterday found Richard Beasley guilty of kidnapping and murdering David Pauley, Ralph Geiger, and Timothy Kern, according to Reuters. Beasley was also convicted of the attempted murder of Scott Davis, who was shot in the arm but managed to escape.
Beasley was found guilty of all charges against him, including aggravated murder, aggravated attempted murder, aggravated robbery, grand and petty theft, and ID theft. The jury will next meet on March 20 to determine whether to recommend the death penalty.
Beasley's teenage accomplice, Brogan Rafferty, was convicted and sentenced in November to life in prison without parole.
In 2011, the two men posted a Craigslist ad that promised work at a farm in Noble County, Ohio. The prosecutors in the case argued that Beasley instead wanted to rob and steal the identities of the men who answered the ad, Reuters said.
In January, prosecutors declined to speculate on a motive for the murders, but Attorney General Mike DeWine said that investigators were considering the notion of "serial killings."

Hi everyone,
I have a couple of questions for people that are hs older children. I have an 11 yo son who I am seriosly thinking about hs starting this summer. He is very smart and has been in the gifted program in his school. The problem is that there is no funding for that program anymore and he'll have to go into regular classes full time. The time that he already spends in regular classes is boring to him. He's also getting old enough that he doesn't see the point in filling out worksheet after worksheet that are WAY to easy for him....and I can't say I blame him. This child has never brought home any homework, he does in all in class while he's waiting for his classmates to finish their work. He has always recieved straight A's, and I know he's not even trying.
He and I have always done alot of educational things, mostly science and math stuff since they are his best subjects. He loves to learn.
I guess that even though I've been hs him on top of sending him to regular school I'm intimidated to take on the full responsibility of teaching him. He is actually the one that has brought it up, and has asked me several times now if I would consider it.
I guess I wondering where to start. I've found alot of curriculums for younger children and was looking for suggestions for ones for older kids. I also wanted to ask about the socialization issue most people seem to have with hs. My son has never really been a really social kid. He prefers adults to kids and always has. He was seeing a therapist for a little while and she suggested that he might have Aspbergers Syndrome and wanted to have him tested. I decided that that since the "treatment" for Aspbergers was essentially what we were doing already that I didn't want him to have any labels that could affect him.....so I stopped the therepy. My point in all that rambling is that he already has some social issues. I don't think that he sees people his age as his peers. So, while I don't really think regular school will help him, I just don't want to hurt him socially. Does anyone have any thoughts?
To hs or not to hs....
Having problems figuring out where to start? Let other homeschoolers offer you some advice!

Personally for a child his age and giftedness, you might want to look into unschooling, also called child-led learning, let him figure out what it is he wants to learn about and help him find out the best way to do that. They was a wonderful article in the lates issure of "the old schoolhouse" magazine. As far as socialization goes, check out some groups in your area, and go on some fieldtrips or try a sport but I wouldn't force him. If he can interact with adults, he's doing better than most children in public school, when his peers cathc up with him, he'll be fine.
Phi 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
What's specifically wrong with wanting to be social with adults?
My mother MADE me invite two of my peers to my 13th birthday. The rest of the guests were 20-somethings or older. I don't think it's effected me socially. I can interact with all groups of people. People my own age were just way to immature for me to have a meaningful conversation with them.

great idea
I think it is a great idea to homeschool your son. As you say you are already doing it, and I agree with a type of unschooling, at least having him have a part in the planning. Planning is an important step and I think you will feel more confident when you have something down on paper.

The Los Angeles murder rate has reached a 40-year low and crime is generally down across Southern California and the nation.
But that's small comfort if you have been the victim of a crime. If you work in the justice system, you may welcome fewer homicides, but you are still coping with under-funded courts and an over-stressed prison system.
Tell KPCC's newsroom how crime touches your life, whether you are a crime victim or a criminal, a judge, juror or jailor. We're also interested in knowing how crime has affected your family history.

Northern Dynasty (NAK) (NDM.to): The trolls arrive at IKN's door
Regarding your comments on the short defense, I am surprised you did not consider that the criticisms you make are also applicable to the short report. You are scathing in your attacks on NAK, yet, you overlook the flaws in the short attack. Do I need to point out to you the obvious disconnect ? I understand the shorts, they stand to make enormous profits. NAK, is of course, defending themselves. What is your interest? I believe you wish to appear independent and unbiased. This string of reports puts you firmly in the short camp. This recent post has damaged your creditability with me. You do not appear to be objective, or intellectually honest. What is your interest in this matter, and how are you being compensated? How do you justify accepting the short report at face value and dismissing the defense out of hand? The short report writers are totally unqualified and do not appear to have any professionals in place. TD has much more credibility that some unknown short seller. I acknowledge they both have money at stake, but I believe TD is more credible. As always, sell side analysis must be taken with a grain of salt.If you are serious, and intellectually honest,I believe a fair and calm rebuttal of these points is required. If you choose not to, than it leaves me with the impression that you are no different that other scam artists and snake oil salesman that pollute the internet.This biased stand on NAK has led me to doubt the objectivity of your posts in general. I have been enjoying reading your work and it has often proved interesting. Thank you for addressing my concerns.

Marrone mailbag time: "Yamana El Peñon Mine is Dying"
In 2010, Mr. Moron-e stated that the exploration program at El Peñon mine in Chile would lead to "...achieving a sustainable production level of 450,000 to 500,000 GEO with the potential for additional increases."In the recent exploration update released last night, we find that "The Company believes that 2017 will be a year of transition at El Peñón with the available wide and high grade veins being replaced by numerous high grade yet narrower vein systems. During this transition, production will be reduced from recent levels, although over a longer term at a more sustainable level."The use of the word "sustainable" in both of these cases is driving me insane. I feel like I am being remotely programmed."El Peñon is dead. Long live El Peñon"
Indeed it's true and if we check on production results at El Peñon since 2010...

Kerrisdale shorts Northern Dynasty (NAK) (NDM)
First we have long-time market scamster Marin Katusa pumping Northern Dynasty's Pebble project, preying on the ignorance of naive mining greenhorns with more money than sense, with the whole thrust of this crazy pump being "Trump will award the permits". Now we have another scumball on the bandwagon, Michael Ballanger over at The Gold Report trying to make the case for NadaGold's Donlin gold project, also in Alaska...... by swatting out a paid-for pump piece on NG and rebounding comments of people already long and with vested interests in the stock. Which is all very nice I'm sure, but this whole new pumperooney on these dogs misses a vital point: They're both dogshyte projects, marginal at best, most likely uneconomic in real terms even under much higher gold prices and with crazily high capex costs. Pebble has low grade gold that doesn't report to the copper cycle (which is why Cominco sold the thing to HD in the first place) and Donlin is notoriously refractory. So forget the permit papers and even ignore the significant local opposition, it doesn't matter how many papers with signatures they get because they're not going to be mines. Permitted or not. Ever."NOVAGOLD's announcement that it is nearing the end of the Environmental Impact Statement process at its 50%-owned Donlin Gold project in Alaska was welcomed by a pair of observers."
...pretty interesting trading so far.

Banana Republic mining news
Hey, you remember that Argentina "Federal Mining Agreement"? That document to be signed by all 23 provincial governors of Argentina that the country would then parade in front of the suited dignitaries at PDAC to pretend it was a serious country with clear rules for one and all?

Minera IRL: That very interesting Q&A with Semana Economica
Semana Economica: In 2015 and 2016 there was an internal power struggle at Minera IRL. Are all the problems now resolved?Diego Benavides: "All the legal actions brought against me by the ex-directors of IRL have been dismissed. We've managed to re-list our shares in Lima (BVL) and Toronto (CSE). The next step is to re-list in London (AIM), which should be in 3q17. London is very important (to us) as 55% of our shareholders are there, above all the institutions."SE: When will production start at your Ollachea project?DB: "The objective is to begin construction as soon as possible, we could begin within three or four months and between June and July 2018 we would be in production. The estimated capex was around U$180m, but our debt capacity has a limit and we do not want to dilute our shareholders (by emitting a lot more shares. Due to this we are optimizing the project and reducing capex to U$30m."SE: How will the project change?DB: "We're looking to reduce the daily throughput from 3000 tonnes to 1500 tonnes. This will allow a reduction in construction time from two years to one year. In the first two years we would produce around 60,000 or 70,000 ounces of gold (instead of the current estimate 100,000 ounces). In year three, with positive free cash flow, we will expand volume to 2000 or 2500 tonnes and gold production pays for capex and opex, which will allow shareholders to have upside."SE: In 2015 Cofide awarded a U$70m bridge loan to IRL in order to finance Ollachea. How has that advanced?DB: "There were two conditions to secure the final loan. First a drill program which is now complete and has increased the inferred resources at the project by around half a million ounces. Second, the change of the construction contract from an EPCM to an EPC "turnkey" deal, which hands off construction risk to the contractor.We will talk with Cofide in order to determine whether a syndicated loan is the most appropriate (as initially thought) as it will weigh us down with debt. We have to lighten this. The current plan is to restructure with leasing and reduce principal financial debt. We believe the final debt deal can be ready by June."
Presumably "by?"" Due to this we are optimizing the project and reducing capex to U$30m."
The answer is no, it's "to". IRL is looking to reduce initial capex to U$30m.

The song and dance man
It's oh so quiet, Shh shh
It's oh so still, Shh shh
It's Oh So Quiet, Betty Hutton, 1951*
Preamble: I've tried to tighten up this semi-disjointed rant up a bit, but part of its message seems to be its very disjointed nature so in the end I edited it down but kept its disparate nature. I'm not in the running for a Pulitzer anyway. The TL:DR is "Trump isn't really much of a factor to our investments and the world isn't about to end just because he's in the Oval Office".
We need to talk about President Donald Trump. Soon we'll need not to talk about Trump, the subject will get too repeated and too boring and as already noted on the blog (1) I'm going to curtail references to The Donald over there as much as possible (my tiny contribution to online well-being), but as The US government and its declarations are in the centre of all things newsy at the moment, there's no avoiding at least some comment.
And the main comment is that, so far at least, there's very little that really matters to me about President Trump's administration. For sure there has been constant noise, sometimes close to deafening, about the executive orders and decisions handed down, along with the pushback from politicians and legal beagles alike. For what it's worth, my fave to date is his picking a fight with the US judiciary. Really not a very good idea, Donald, it's your four/eight year tenancy vs jurisprudence of two plus centuries, you're taking a knife to a gunfight.
But it's all rather inconsequential so far because it's nearly all domestic policy. For sure building a big beautiful wall, re-doing NAF(F)TA and not letting people in from dangerous countries will affect people from countries other than The USA, but all of those are domestic and not foreign policy decisions and if you piss off an Australian politico or two along the way, big deal. The only thing we mining investors should care about are either domestic fiscal policy decisions that have a knock-on effect through Wall St, or true foreign policy decisions by The Donald, so far at least we've had none. Yes, we've had mutterings about a "phenomenal" (bless him) tax plan (2) which people are guessing will be "stimulative" (translation: rich get richer) and just the rumour saw bank stocks pop higher last week. When that one gets rolled out we can see how much optimism is already baked in, but you don't need to take my word for the lack of real fiscal or economic news out there as yet, take it from somebody much smarter than I am about the subject (3):
U.S. Federal Reserve Vice Chair Stanley Fischer said there was significant uncertainty about U.S. fiscal policy under the Trump administration, but the Fed would be strict in meeting targets of creating full employment and getting inflation to 2 percent.
Speaking at the Warwick Economics Summit on Saturday, Fischer also said he thought Dodd-Frank financial regulation would not be repealed as a whole, and he hoped capital requirements for banks would not be significantly reduced.
"There is quite significant uncertainty about what's actually going to happen, I don't think anyone quite knows. It's a process which involves both the administration and the Congress in deciding fiscal policy," Fischer said, in response to a question.
Translation: "We don't know what he's going to do to the US economy yet. And we're the freakin' Fed, we've got computers and stuff, you guys out there don't have a chance!"
Meanwhile, when it comes to foreign policy and foreign relations The Donald has found out quickly that "The Art of the Diplomatic Deal" is a missing chapter from his best-seller, a good thing for all of us. Remember all that "recognizing Taiwan" thing? Remember the "China nasty people playing nasty currency games"? Remember the trade war Trump threatened if China didn't start giving America a good/fair/better deal? I'm sure President Xi Jiping of China remembered all of them when he told The USA that he wouldn't even pick up the phone if The Donald wasn't ready to accept the One China policy. Trump agreed, he now recognizes China as a single entity offshore islands and all, the two had a long conversation (4) and once it was done, the two were telling us of their assurances to work together for the greater good of both countries. Donald, that's what having your wings clipped feels like. So here's my bet; domestically Trump will continue to make waves, cause controversy and shake up "the system" (or the bit of the system he has identified as the nasty bit), but when it comes to the fate of the world he's not going to make much of a difference, the smarter world leaders (China, Russia, some parts of EU and that does not include the UK) have got his measure already. The most insightful thing I read about Trump this week came from an unusual source, but a whipsmart brain. Here's Mel Brooks (5) on his new President and entourage (and before you send in any stuffy mails, "anti-Muslim travel ban" are the words of The Guardian, not Brooks' or mine):
Brooks, who views Trump's anti-Muslim travel ban as poorly planned and poorly executed – his parents came to the US as kids – does not revile the new president in the kneejerk way most movie people do. "Trump doesn't scare me," he says. "He's a song-and-dance man. Pence [the vice-president] and Bannon [Trump's scheming henchman, a kind of Dick Cheney without the radiant, cherubic charm], those guys make me nervous." He adds: "We are not talking about Athenian democracy here."
I agree. However much his style and persona might agree/disagree with you or I, this whole drain the swamp" and "break the rules" schtick is only going to travel so far. Will "The Resistance" in The USA change my life, or even my financial situation? About as much as the Tea Party did (i.e not at all). Will a Trump tax law that allows the rich to get richer have a knock-on effect on my portfolio? Maybe, but only in the same way the rich got richer through Reagan/Bush1/SlickWilly/Dubya/Barry did. As long as Trump defines himself as a financial force for change, be it ultimately positive or negative, I'll be able to handle his character and mouthiness. The way he's already being put in his place on the world stage augurs well, he's turning into a net neutral for my life and that's a welcome turn of events.

In his weekly radio and Internet address, the president spoke of his visit Friday with troops at Fort Bliss, Texas.
"Fort Bliss is home to soldiers who took part in every major phase of the Iraq War -- from the initial assault on Baghdad; to the years of fighting block by block; to the partnership with the Iraqi people that helped give them a chance to forge their own destiny. ...
"And now, with no Americans fighting in Iraq, it's my privilege on behalf of a grateful nation to once again congratulate these men and women on a job well done," Obama said.
"This anniversary is a chance to appreciate how far we've come. But it's also a reminder that there is still difficult work ahead of us in Afghanistan.
"We've broken the Taliban's momentum in Afghanistan, and begun the transition to an Afghan lead. Next month, the last of the troops I ordered as part of the surge against the Taliban will come home, and by 2014, the transition to Afghan lead will be complete. ...
"As we turn the page on a decade of war, it's time to do some nation-building here at home," the president said.
"We need to rebuild our roads and runways and ports. We need to lay broadband lines across this country and put our veterans back to work as cops and firefighters in communities that need them. And we need to come together to make America a place where hard work is rewarded and anyone willing to put in the effort can make it if they try.
"That's how we can honor our troops. That's the welcome home they've earned," Obama said.

Prohibiting former tenant from blogging about landlord was unconstitutional prior restraint against speech.
Defendants wrote several blog posts critical of their former commercial landlord. The landlord sued for defamation and tortious interference, and sought an injunction against defendants' blogging. The trial court granted the injunction, determining that defendants had "blogged extensively about [plaintiffs] and many of these blogs [were] arguably defamatory." Although the court noted that a trial on the defamation claims was yet to be held, it ordered defendants "not to enter defamatory blogs in the future."
Defendants sought review with the Court of Appeal of Florida. On appeal, the court reversed and remanded.
It held that injunctive relief was not available to prohibit the making of defamatory or libelous statements. "A temporary injunction directed to speech is a classic example of prior restraint on speech triggering First Amendment concerns." But the court noted a limited exception to the general rule where the defamatory words are made in the furtherance of the commission of another intentional tort.
In this case, plaintiffs alleged another intentional tort – intentional interference with advantageous business relationships. But the court found that plaintiffs failed to present sufficient evidence to show they were entitled to an injunction for that claim. The trial court record failed to support an inference that the defendants' blog posts had a deleterious effect upon defendants' prospective business relationships.

Kansas City Hospital Plans for Grocery Move Ahead
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Truman Medical Center is a step closer to opening a full-service grocery store that will give its neighbors healthier food choices.
The hospital said in a release Thursday that it had completed a transfer of land with the Hospital Hill Economic Development Corporation for the $11.5 million project.
The hospital is located in one of Kansas City's so-called "food deserts," which are low-income areas where residents don't have easy access to more nutritious food options.
Hospital officials last year announced plans for the store in a bid to bring healthy food options to the urban core. The hospital says the store is expected to include extensive produce, meats and dairy items as well as locally grown options and a farmers' market.
