I'm a former resident of the neighborhood who worked on neighborhood planning matters, including the original ARTWalk and the extension. I've spent hundreds of delightful hours at the George Eastman House, attended several meetings and community events at Monroe Voiture, and, of course, GreekFest. I've been heavily involved in historic preservation, community planning, and neighborhood revitalization. And with all that background, I find that this thorough and thoughtful piece is pretty much spot on.
Nice job, Mary Anna!
Will the map be available online?
This development would be much better located at the corner of Atlantic & Fairmount, on the run down vacant lots controlled by the MUCCC. There, future residents would be much more likely to walk or bike to destinations, rather than the farther removed Monroe Voiture property. But that is the developer's call.
My big problem with this and other apartment proposals is the amount of parking "required" to make the proposal "viable." It seems as though our city is finally on the rebound, with more and more interest in development. Now would be a good time to start thinking about how to rid this city of its car-dependency. Parking lots are not our city's path to vibrancy. If we cannot improve our prospects for car-free living, our current rebound will be very short-lived. This means continuing the City's push for better walking and bicycling, but also incentivizing active first-floor uses, expanding car-sharing opportunities (ZipCar), starting a bike-sharing program, and working with RGRTA on more and better transit options (i.e., increased bus frequency, Bus Rapid Transit, Streetcar, and yes, even light rail). It will also require smarter land use planning on the regional level to discourage Victor-style sprawl and instead, build more compact communities that have a fighting chance at being transit-supportive.
This is gonna be fun!
I have read Bill Whiting's book "An Early Work Late In Life", and it did indeed scorch my heart and move my soul. Ms. Rafferty's review and interpretations about the book are spot-on. I had the opportunity to participate as a friend in Mr. Whiting's final approach to his publication and the concurrent debut at MAG's art opening in March of this year. It was a stunning constellation of fears, hopes and bewilderment at the power and responsibilities inherent in book publishing amid personal angst. But Bill has emerged unscathed and the stronger for his experience. It boggles the mind that, a short twelve months ago, this endeavor was not even on his radar screen. And I would bet my signed first edition that in April 2012, "Sunny Ducks" by Danny Allen was still deep in its Rumpelstiltskin slumber, safe in the archival tissue Bill had wrapped it in forty years ago, so dark the vault.
Clara being River and the Doctor's daughter is interesting, but I feel like that's too easy.
I also caught Christopher Eccelston's voice when that salvage crew member got shocked. My husband mentioned about the "Smiths" key that he thought he's called himself Smith once or twice in the past. Maybe to hide who he was for a purpose.
I think the feet we saw were the Doctor's. Maybe that's why he popped up so quickly.
I agree with Deb that I think the Doctor remembers the whole event because he kept asking Clara if she felt safe.
I heartily support any/every effort to get more people out of vehicles and onto their feet/bikes. I do my darndest to bike to work as often as possible. It's good exercise, as well as giving me time to get me head in the right place.
Anybody who's got eyes and has been paying attention is aware of our growing obesity problem. This would help with that also.
I wonder how long Richards and the city council have been sitting on this problem? A cynic might suggest that they've known for years and could have corrected it for far less but that repairs were repeatedly deferred in order to avoid negatively impacting past city budgets until it couldn't be hidden any longer. Perhaps City can ask the mayor's office for details?
Funny when j.a.m. accuses anybody about - get this - misrepresenting anything; this hours after characterizing the Neighborhood of the Arts as a "rotting urban wasteland."
@Nathan: I live there, so I'm well familiar (and btw would be thrilled not to have to drive out to the suburbs to get to Wal-Mart). The point is that, when it comes to economic need or viability, a rational person would trust the investor risking his own capital before the assorted cranks, naysayers and ax-grinders. You can go on about "aesthetics" and "development at any cost," but you ought to be terrified of ending up another failed city.
@Troll: You completely misrepresented my earlier comment, whose meaning was plain enough and I won't belabor.
@Nathan, funny how in a mere two days j.a.m. can go from calling Neighborhood of the Arts "downright bucolic" to a "rotting urban wasteland." "Rotting urban wasteland" - Really? This is a great area, one that has steadily improved in the past generation, thanks in part to folks like NOTA. We've seen the real urban blight caused by some developers who managed to get the last word. By contrast, neighborhood associations in our city have been the real life-blood and glue. So thanks, Nathan, for expressing this so well.
This is exactly like what I was looking for when I still lived in this neighborhood. As part of the young professional demographic the city so desperately wants to retain, I was tired of the endless succession of dumpy absentee-landlord college student apartments around East/Park/Monroe. Anything that was in even halfway decent shape either had insane rents or was snatched up immediately. The neighborhood could use more higher income young tenants. Don't hate on renters - these are the people with well-paying jobs! Shame on the Eastman House for offering up yet another parking lot as the only viable alternative.
I believe the Big Bad this season is the great intelligence. He's been in two (maybe 3) eps this season. He also may have been the one that controlled, and subsequently exploded, the TARDIS during the Pandorica arc.
We're seeing some throwback to "The Silence will fall...question asked...Doctor who?" The Silence wanted to take the Doctor out to prevent him from revealing his name. Now that Clara knows it (albiet she was mind wiped, it could still be there), the Silence may come after her. There is also a plot line from a novel where the Daleks create a perfect companion for the Doctor to lure him into a trap. I believe the G.I. created Clara inorder to learn the Doctor's name.
We also know that River will return at some point this season.
@j.a.m.: I am heavily vested in the city. I'm not sure you know this area very well. It is one of the few sections of Rochester that is not on the welfare dole. This particular development is not an improvement for the immediate area. What we do see, is a giant footprint that it will reduce our property values and increase apartment inventory (which will reduce rents and likely make the overall neighborhood less desirable). As I said before, in a region and city that is seeing zero population growth, a ton of new living spaces are coming online in the next few years, this development will only canabalize other renters and help to decrease the value of those other new developments and existing rental prices in the neighborhood. There is value in preserving the aesthetics and livability of an area. Development at any cost is not worthwhile. Why not invite wal-mart to build on this property adjacent to the Eastman House. I know of neighborhoods in Henrietta fighting rezoning near RIT to preserve their own property values while Henreitta has a chance to increase its tax base if it rezones.
@Nathan: If somebody thinks this development would create greater value at another site, they're perfectly free to put their money where their mouth is. Otherwise, that decision belongs to those who are in fact putting their own resources at risk to improve the city.
L: I will have to rewatch the episode again, but I am almost positive that Clara did not tip over the bottle of Encyclopedia Gallifrey until AFTER she read the book. She knocked over the bottles while hiding from the monster. She was unaware of the bogeyman while reading the book (otherwise she wouldn't have been reading the book).
Deb: My reading of the Doctor's line about "Do you feel safe?" was not that he remembered the events of the episode, but that there was a kind of emotional echo -- that he knew he should be worrying about those issues, but didn't know why. I have absolutely nothing to base that on aside from a gut feeling and the way that changing time has been shown on this series before. Do I think that ultimately both the Doctor AND Clara will remember what went down this past episode? Yep. It all served the purpose of dramatic irony, letting the audience know that a) the Doctor is still completely freaked out by whatever Clara is and b) Clara really does not seem to know that she isn't what she seems. But for the next two episodes, before the finale, they can operate as though nothing has changed.
Michael: Nope, she really means art competition. Believe it or not, the modern Olympics indeed had artistic components for a few decades, and the winners were awarded medals, just like the athletes:
Good for NOTA. That Morgan plan does nothing to enhance the neighborhood. The Morgan apartment building would likely cannabablize likely residents from other parts of the city (including downtown). Unlike other areas of the city, the area surrounding the Eastman House is not in need of further gentrification. There are plenty of areas nearby that could use the developement, but preserving the Eastman House and its surrounding environment should be the most important factor for the longevity and success of the area.
The bomb like device future Doctor gave to past Doctor disrupted the magnetic beam from the salvage ship - saving the Tardis. Also, I'm pretty sure the Doctor retained his memory of the event based on his, "do you feel safe?" questions.
I think the whole thing about the Doctor also trying to get Clara to like the Tardis is because she has been completely underwhelmed, unimpressed, and even mean to it right from the get-go. Chalking it up to the same way a boy would react when the new girlfriend hates his fancy vintage sports car that he spent so much time refurbishing and putting love/care into.
The only glaring thing here that really bothered me: he said the Tardis can't self destruct. It can, and it has - back in the episode where he blew it up to create a new sun. Also the Text of the book should not have been readable, you've got a really good lead there.
I seriously hope it's not River's daughter. But I'm beginning to wonder about the granddaughter comment he made in an earlier episode, plus the mention of the Time War here... Maybe hints that we will learn more about the Time War and his original family?
I 'd like to applaud the author of "It Came From the Vault" for her opinion that art was part of the '32 Olympics, but unfortunately the last sentence of the article should read "...back when the Olympic Games included a TENNIS [not ART] competition.

While the 75-year-old actor has said he grew up thinking movie stars had to look like Rock Hudson, it didn't take long for the Los Angeles native to get into acting and start a career that spans five decades and covers just about every genre of film.
Many of his titles were featured in his tribute at the Kennedy Center, which is not far from the famous Watergate hotel -- a site he knows well after playing the ambitious reporter, Carl Bernstein, in "All The President's Men" (1976).
Asked on the red carpet how he was feeling, the actor had a line all ready to deliver.
"My wife keeps reminding me that when I say, 'Pretty good -- I am a nominee,' she says 'No, you are an honoree.' So it is spectacular," he said.
Russian-born Makarova is perhaps best known for leaving her mark on the production of La Bayadère, a ballet that dates to 1877. She transformed the scene "Kingdom of the Shades," and went on to stage the full production in theaters around the world.
Makarova, 72, is no stranger to the Kennedy Center. She won a Tony Award for best actress in a musical for the center's 1984 production of "On Your Toes."
Makarova said before the gala that she considers American ballet "fantastic," adding, "I think it will grow and grow. The interest will never stop."
The audience Sunday night will also feel the rhythm in performances honoring blues legend Buddy Guy. Born into a Louisiana sharecropper family, Guy eventually made Chicago his home at the peak of the blues era in the Windy City. And with his distinct guitar sound, the six-time Grammy Award winner helped pioneer the electric blues with other legends including Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf.
"From picking cotton in the field to picking a guitar in the White House, that is a long ways man," Guy told reporters at the Kennedy Center.
The president called Guy "one of the last guardians of the great American blues."

In a groundbreaking move, Colorado and Washington voters on Tuesday passed referendums legalizing marijuana for recreational use. The drug is still banned under federal law.
Colorado's Proposition 64 to the state's constitution makes it legal for anyone older than 21 to possess marijuana and for businesses to sell it.
"The voters have spoken and we have to respect their will," Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said in a statement. "This will be a complicated process, but we intend to follow through. That said, federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug so don't break out the Cheetos or gold fish too quickly."
Amendment 64 legalized marijuana for anyone older than 21 at certain retail stores. Proponents believed the bill could generate millions in revenue for the state government.
A similar measure on the ballot in Washington State legalizes small amounts of marijuana for people older than 21.
Even though the issues have passed, they are likely to meet legal challenges very quickly.
In 2005, the Supreme Court struck down a California law that legalized medical marijuana in the state. The Court said Congress had the power to criminalize marijuana under the Commerce Clause.
A similar ballot issue to legalize marijuana in Oregon did not pass.
In Massachusetts, voters approved legislation to allow marijuana for medicinal reasons, joining 17 other states that allow it.
With Colorado and Washington making the move to legalize recreational marijuana use, North Carolina may be closer to recognizing medical marijuana as treatment for patients including veterans, according to North Carolina Cannabis Patients Network President Perry Parks of Rockingham.
"I have many people who — if they have a job or a position of respect — they are afraid to be seen talking to me, but in private they say, 'I support what you're doing,'" said Parks, who advocates the use of medical marijuana for veterans as an alternative to narcotics. "People still don't understand the law's impact on vets. They are going without medicine in some cases. People are scared to death of narcotics. So do they take narcotics and endanger their liver or break a law that is changing every day in this country?"
Parks believes North Carolina could soon adopt legislation similar to that which has been adopted in the 18 states that support medical marijuana use for certain patients.
According to the New Policy Directive for VA Hospitals and Clinics, "Medical conditions associated with the use of medical marijuana include, but are not limited to: glaucoma, chemotherapy induced nausea, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and chronic pain." Perry said he advocates veterans being able to receive the medicine they need, no matter what state they are in.
"If a soldier is injured by an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) and suffers a traumatic brain injury, his treatment will be determined by the state in which he lives. In Rhode Island, he would be permitted to use Cannabis; in North Carolina, he is subject to arrest if he uses Cannabis," said Parks. "If a doctor diagnoses a patient with breast cancer, is it morally right to not be able to prescribe a medicine that has been shown to reduce breast cancer tumors while at the same time protecting normal cells?"
Parks said there is a bill in the works.
"HB 577 is sitting, ready to drop in the hopper," said Parks, about the Medical Cannabis Act that states, "This act provides broad civil and criminal immunity for a 'qualified patient' or a 'designated caregiver' for purchasing or possessing cannabis for medical use if the quantity does not exceed an 'adequate supply' for the patient as determined by his of her physician."

Stupid ways to die
Like (0)
How about the stupidest ways you've died? These are all in the last week or so
Major brain fart. Now that I need it I can't think of what's it's called when you change servers mid game. I'll call it "fu"
1) Teammate calls in a drop box, get 'fu'. I'm running, but while in 'fu' state box drops on me. I die.
2) I'm calling in decoy boxes. Drop one in Seatown. Manage to run all the way around the map and find a guy with his back to me. Kill him, then *my* decoy box goes off and I die.
3) Today. Walking around a corner. I die before I get there. Killcam shows I rounded the corner and got shot. Good 1/2 second between what I saw and reality.
What are the stupidest ways you've died?
It's called host migration. I need preperation H for my brain
I only play HC so I hate when I get hit once, blood screen red, manage to escape with my life, stay alive to kill 1-2 more people, then jump down a 5 foot wall to die.... ftw!!!!
Or, when someone lays down vests in a high traffic area...easy ways to get teammates killed.
Or, when cooking a frag but hold it for a little too long and it blows up the second after release....
Or, friendly fire from claymore/c4 being shot by a teammate...
Strafing on Overwatch trying to kill a guy, get the kill but only as you step off the edge and fall to your death.
Spawn only to be killed instantly by a friendly care package.
Or my personal favorite, see a betty on the ground. Shoot it to avoid setting it off and then realize that you were too close because it killed you anyway.
Throw a knife at a peoson as they are throwing C4 for the quick kill. Hit the C4 with the knife in mid air and kill myself.
I am an Expert in throwing flash grenades at door frames.
This results in me flashing myself and waiting for someone to get an easy kill.
I am also Pro at dropping care packages, stealthbombers on myself.
Sick Skills?
Getting 1-shotted by a silenced SMG from long range thanks to the broken lag compensation.
Getting killed by enemies that don't even show up on your screen yet.
That's pretty stupid.
A stupid way to die is to get moabed. Wait for the timer to count down a bit then toss your frag or semtex and lay on top of it. If there is still time remaining before the moab just watch the killcam. Funny I got dropped into a game and a moab was incoming within few seconds. Half the team I was put on left, i laid down on my frag so the guy only got 2 kills with the moab! That must suck.
I don't usually die unnecessarily. I tend to be fairly smart and conservative with my lives treating them as if I would never respawn (that doesn't mean I camp hardcore, I just set my self up for the best possible outcome)
That being said, when I do die stupidly it makes the feeling a shame even worse. Like Rid said, jumping to your death from 5ft in the air is probably the biggest one I do
Second, throwing a flashbang and it manages to find the one obstruction around so I end up blinding myself and dying
Third would be not shooting an enemy because a teammate across the map has caste a green name over the enemies head. <---This is my least favorite because it has nothing to do with poor decision making
Yeah the green name over red is a crappy one!
I don't know why but I never fire until I am sure that it is an enemy. Thats cool if you play hardcore, but I never do play hardcore. That gets me killed alot.
one of the most frustrating ways that i die is when i switch over to a secondary weapon (more often than not a handgun), while the enemy isnt looking (trying to level up those handguns). even with slight of hand pro, i am able to make a few shots before the enemy realizes that he is getting hit, turns around, then shoots me with his assault rifle / smg / shotgun.
**** blowing up. That gets my goat every dam time. Some random barrel or vehcle blowing up just as I run by the thing. Couldnt happen a second earlier it waits just until I am next to it.
I am decent at bouncing frags off of beams so they whack me and I get the accidental "suicide" RPG death sometimes. I am also good at the IMS suicide death. I know its there so I haul ass around the corner and shoottheshit out of it until I die. Can usually take them out in one death so I figure thats a suicide run to help my teammates out.
And my all time favorite......find a camper with his back to you and suicide cook a grenade. Sure I could shoot them but its so much more fun and a little more of a bitchslap if you do it this way.
Fired off a Javelin, got killed, then as I spawn my Javelin hits me. I think that has happened to me a couple of times now, mainly on Mission.

The Subtropical Gardens voted "Our favourite Garden" by the Daily Telegraph Readers are amongst the best in England.
What you get
The Subtropical Gardens voted "Our favourite Garden" by the Daily Telegraph Readers are amongst the best in England. Covering 30 acres this grade one listed garden is famous for its camellias, Rhododendrons, Hydrangeas and its wonderful exotic atmosphere. In September 2008 Alan Titchmarsh wrote in BBC Gardeners World "ONE OF THE FINEST GARDENS I HAVE EVER VISITED".
Established in 1765 the gardens have been the site of many plant introductions to this country. The first camellias introduced to Great Britain in 1792 are now magnificent tree groves!
At the heart of the Garden is the colonial Tea-house with its splendid veranda which overlooks the sunken garden. There is also a very well stocked plant centre and a superior quality gift shop, a children's play area and free car parking.
Stunning views of the Jurassic Coast are available from a viewing point in the Garden, at the top of the Magnolia Walk. The Jurassic Coast Garden which came second in the people's vote in 2006 at the Chelsea Flower Show was planted by our curator Stephen Griffith with plants from Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens.

"I don't really think, Sean, that you need to know about my various sexual liaisons. Or that anyone else needs to. I did write about them. I filled a hundred pages of Moleskine notebooks with my one-night stands, my affairs. But I decided they didn't belong in a professional memoir. First of all, these are real people we're talking about. Many of them were enjoyable. Some were abject failures. My wife said to me when she read the pages, 'Of what purpose is this in a memoir? Of what purpose is this other than to titillate?' The point is, I never see them. It's because I have nothing in common with them, frankly. And probably didn't at the time. I could not provide a sensible reason why I married these women. The thing is, in the case of my marriages, it takes two people to fuck up a marriage. It wasn't simply the fault of these women that I lost interest in them and realised they were insignificant relationships. Which is how I look at them right now–as being insignificant. I see them as blips."
~ William Friedkin On Cutting Interviewers Off At The Sass
"I have to imagine from Mr. Spielberg's point of view, the paradigm shift in the 1970s was just the new "normal," a "halcyon era" from which we are straying in the 21st century–because theatrical exhibition is tenuous (as it has been since the 1940s), the home video market has dried up and people are watching pirated movies on their phone. Spielberg's coming-of-age era was for him the halcyon period that the 21st century "implosion" will cause to go "crashing into the ground." But he is wrong. The market for movies is actually diverse and highly segmented–although from the top-down movie industry vantage point and media punditry you would not think this to be true. Would we really mourn for Mr. Spielberg or ourselves if Lincoln would have been made for cable or had played on public television? Is it bad for humanity that cable television is creating wonderful, resonant stories in long-form series that people want to watch at home on TV (or streamed onto their computer)? I don't think so, but it is a paradigm shift and it might affect people's theatrical moviegoing habits. Televisions in people's homes have had that effect for seven decades–it is not a new phenomenon. As Art House cinema impresarios we need to focus on what WE can do at our theaters and in our communities. It is not productive for us to fret over what pundits say or about what well-meaning filmmakers like the Stevens–Spielberg and Soderbergh–say. We should fret about what we can do in our communities. What we can do to support filmmakers."
~ From A Response By Russ Collins, CEO, Michigan Theater–Ann Arbor And Director, Art House Convergence, To Mr. Spielberg

A Fayetteville man is behind bars after allegedly breaking into a Turkey couple's home, shooting at them and then leading law enforcement officers on a high-speed chase that ended in Clinton.
Joshua Emanuel Smith, 25, of Tuckertown Road, Fayetteville, was arrested Friday after being tackled by officers behind First Baptist Church, 900 College St.
According to officials with the Sampson County Sheriff's Office, the couple was returning to their home, located in the 1000 block of Bowden Road, for lunch Friday afternoon around 11:40 a.m. allegedly witnessed Smith running from their home, which he reported had just broken into moments earlier.
Smith, officials said, got into a white subcompact passenger vehicle, shot a round at the couple and took off.
As he approached Pine Ridge Road, a deputy intercepted the vehicle and pulled him over, calling for back-up. When the back-up cruiser arrived, Smith floored the accelerator and took off once again, heading toward N.C. Hwy. 403, with deputies in pursuit.
Officers with the Clinton Police Department put out stop sticks near N.C. Hwy. 403 and Pugh Road, but Smith avoided the sticks and continued into the city.
The suspect continued to lead officers down College Street, where the suspect lost control of the vehicle on Graham Street, running up on the sidewalk.
Officers said Smith jumped out of the car and fled on foot. He leapt over a ditch and small creek, running behind First Baptist Church, where he was apprehended by officers.
A gun was recovered from the vehicle after the arrest.
Smith was taken to the Sampson County Detention Center, but charges and bond information was not made available by Saturday afternoon.

A Sound Transit bus driver who caused a fatal accident in May blamed the crash on faulty brakes, but a recently-completed Washington State Patrol investigation found nothing wrong with the bus.
A check by First Transit - which employs the bus driver - noted concern about the bus pulling to the right when the brakes were applied.
There is a pain so intense, so excruciating, that people who suffer from it are known to take their own lives.
The Lake Washington School District has placed a teacher on leave for allegedly taping a student to a chair, but the boy's classmates say there's another side to the story.
A woman somehow avoided serious injuries when she jumped out of a moving car on Interstate 405 and landed on the pavement in the path of an oncoming semi truck, the Washington State Patrol reports.
The daughter of a couple who were killed when a Sound Transit bus slammed into their SUV Monday night says she takes solace in the fact that her parents were together in their final moments.
King County marine officers are patrolling for the kind of behavior that's been driving some Kirkland residents nuts.
The driver of a Sound Transit bus says the brakes failed and he was unable to avoid hitting a car Monday night on an Interstate 405 transit ramp, killing two people.
Police say their investigation into a deadly Monday night Sound Transit bus crash in Kirkland could take six months to complete, and recently released 911 calls shed light on just how terrifying the crash was.
The beach at Marina Park will remain closed, possibly through Monday, officials said.
A woman from Washington state has been charged with stalking singer Clay Aiken at his home in North Carolina
As the best weather of the year moves in, there's something nasty in the water at a popular Kirkland park.
A Washington state Senate committee heard testimony Thursday on a bill to open up need-based student financial aid to illegal immigrants.
Kirkland landlords will no longer be able to deny tenants based on their use of a Section 8 Housing Voucher after the City Council recently approved a new ordinance prohibiting such practices.
In an effort to protect against discrimination, Kirkland city officials are considering an ordinance that would prohibit landlords from refusing to rent to a tenant who receives help paying for housing in the private market.

NCEDC CEO: $620,000 funding goal attainable
NCEDC CEO Walt Elish, however, is confident that the jobs-hunting organization will hit its 2012 revenue goal of $620,200.
As of this past week, it had collected $290,000. Whether it gets to the finish line depends in large part on whether the companies that support it continue sending in their checks.
According to a Business Report review of the NCEDC budget, revenues in 2011 came to $742,052, so even if gets to $620,000, the NCEDC this year will still have far less money to do its job.
Contributions from companies are budgeted to come in at $560,000, a few thousand dollars more than last year but nearly $30,000 less than the organization had originally planned for 2011. Also, event income, in-kind revenues and pass-through incentives were all expected to be off this year.
This year's budget was his first since moving from Maine to take the CEO position last fall, so Elish said he budgeted "conservatively."
The NCEDC is supported by a group of 135

1 large orange-fleshed sweet potato (about 14 ounces), peeled and cut into 2 inch-thick slices
Dash of salt
2 plum tomatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
1 green onion (both white and green parts), coarsely chopped
Garnish: Toasted chopped walnuts
To make the vinaigrette, whisk together all of the ingredients, except the parsley, in a small bowl; add the parsley.
To make the salad, cover the sweet potato slices with water in a small saucepan; add a dash of salt. Cover the pan and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook until the potato slices are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water, then drain again. Cut the potato into 1-inch chunks.
Toss the potato, plum tomatoes, and green onion in a medium bowl. Whisk the vinaigrette; add it to the salad and toss again. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Use a slotted spoon to strain the salad for serving. Garnish each serving with walnuts.

My fiance and I only got on line to look at engagement rings and after only one night of looking online at overstock.com he went home that night and w/o my knowledge bought this ring. I was a little skeptical at first, worried that it may be a fake for such a cheap price and a gorgeous ring. I recently got it appraised an it is worth over $1,200! ....AND it's a absolutly gorgeous ring! I get compliments all the time on it!
This ring is fantastic! I bought it for my fiancee and she absolutely adores it. It is very clear, very shiny, very sparkly; exactly what she wanted. The halo around the center diamond also makes the diamond (and the rest of the ring) look a little bigger. Since it's a third-carat in the center stone, this is a huge plus. The ring looks much more expensive than it is, and the diamond looks bigger than it is. The princess cut really hides any imperfections in the ring (even under the loop, I have a difficult time finding any though). The band is a little slim, but the larger center makes up for it. The diamonds along the halo and sides are really cute as well. If we are honest with ourselves, we don't want to spend a fortune on a ring. We want to show our woman that we love and care for her without breaking the bank--this ring does exactly that. It's gorgeous, but still affordable! Hallelujah! And in addition, the Overstock customer support was excellent. Very nice, very helpful, and I would definitely do business with them again.
Just what she wanted... Could not find it anywhere else or for the price. overstock is the bomb!
i got this as my engagement ring... and i love it!! it sparkles so much, especially in the light. it has an antique look to it and is just such an original looking ring. i catch people looking @ it all the time, it's very noticeable, even though the ring is only a 1/2 carat... i can't wait to show it off!! very,very pretty ring:)
This ring is absolutely gorgeous! The picture does not do it justice on the website. I was skeptical at first about buying a ring online, but I couldnt be happier with this one! Get it :)
I absolutely LOVE this ring!! My fiance proposed to me on Sat night with this gorgeous ring. The band is dainty and elegant. The ring is very brialliant and shiny. We are paying cash for a small wedding and did not want to go into debt for a ring. The price on this ring was perfect. It looks better than the same ring for $1600 @ Sams club. Everyone's reaction to this ring is unbeleivable. I am so pleased and think my finace did a fabulous job. Very fast shipping. Arrived to us in Hawaii in only 3 days.
Was very happy with this ring. My boyfriend and i picked it out together as an engagement ring after not being able to find anything in the stores in our price range that i liked. It is antique looking and the perfect size to appear a lot more expensive than it is; a very pretty ring! I am very happy with my purchase and the only negative i can come up with is the smaller diamonds on the band are not as sparkly as id like but that is to be expected for the price. Think once i add the wedding band to it though it will be absolutely perfect. I would definitely use overstock again. P.s. have only told a few people that we purchased the ring from overstock and they are shocked as they thought he spent way more on it!
My fianc� told me to pick out any ring for my engagement ring, and this is the one I chose - and I'm so glad I did! I can't believe how much more beautiful it is in person. The ring is the perfect size - not too small, which I had concerns about. Everyone thinks he spent WAY more than he really did. I LOVE this ring!!!!
This ring is perfect! It may be a 1/2 carat, but appears to be much more. The ring sits very high which looks great, but can be frustrating if you use your hands a lot. We receive compliments on the ring almost daily. Very proud of this ring for its look and low cost!

Radical Cost ReductionFour levers to help health systems thrive in a post-reform environment |
One of the most important issues facing CEOs and CFOs of major U.S. hospitals and health systems is the perceived need for Radical Cost Reduction (RCR) – estimated at 20-30 percent of total cost structure by 2015 – in response to health reform.
The imperative is real and the challenges are great. How can organizations achieve RCR over the next three-to-five years and find the transformative opportunities needed to thrive in a lean, post-reform environment?
Radical Cost Reduction a new paper from Deloitte's Health Care Practice:
- Reviews factors suggesting that hospitals and health systems should dramatically reduce their cost structures
- Identifies four levers that can assist organizations in achieving RCR:
- Take a strategic, not operational approach, to business model change
- Align executives around change efforts
- Use IT investment as a catalyst
- Embrace innovation as the new standard
- Explains how to target four main focus areas for RCR:
- Optimize the core
- Take advantage of scale and "systemness"
- Maximize value in clinical practice
- Rationalize asset portfolio

Woman, 19, charged in abduction of 5-year-old found on Upper Darby playground
A telephone listing for Regusters could not be located. An attorney who was representing her could not immediately be reached by The Associated Press because a telephone listing for him was temporarily disconnected. But the attorney, W. Fred Harrison Jr., told WCAU-TV that Regusters had "no involvement" in the crime.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A 19-year-old daycare worker was formally charged Friday in the abduction of a 5-year-old girl from her Philadelphia elementary school last month, an arrest aided by the little girl's report to police that there was a talking bird in the home where she was taken, authorities said.
Christina Regusters was charged with kidnapping, rape of a child, conspiracy, aggravated assault and other offenses, District Attorney Seth Williams said in a statement. She was one of four people questioned Thursday who live in a home several blocks from Bryant Elementary School in west Philadelphia. The other three were released.
Regusters worked at an after-school care program attended by the victim, who was taken out of her classroom Jan. 14 by a woman posing as her mother, according to Philadelphia police Capt. John Darby, who heads the department's special victims unit. The woman had said she was coming to take the girl out to breakfast, according to school officials, who said school policies were not followed in releasing the child.
Investigators believe the suspect and victim then walked a few blocks to a home where a man was waiting. The child was blindfolded, told to remove her clothes and put on a black, adult-sized T-shirt, and ordered to hide under a bed, authorities said. She was apparently dumped about 18 hours later at a park about a mile from her school, just outside the city, and was found by a passer-by, shivering under playground equipment. When she was found, the girl told her rescuer, "I've been stolen."
Police have since taken her to places around the neighborhood as they search for clues.
"The investigation is very much active and ongoing," Darby said at a news conference Thursday.
Attorney Tom Kline, who represents the girl and her mother, said the child told police there was some sort of talking bird at the place where she was taken after she was abducted, information that helped lead police to the home.
"This brave, innocent precious little girl was instrumental in leading police literally to the door of the crime," Kline said in an interview Friday. "She told them that there was a bird in the house. The bird became one of the many focal points of the investigation." Continued...
The investigation has been unfolding since a woman wearing a black Muslim garment, her face covered by a veil, posed as the girl's mother and took her out of class, officials said. The victim's mother wears the traditional chador and niqab.
Kline said the girl suffered "terrible, horrible injuries" and that the family was "grateful" for the arrest, but knows it isn't the end of the line.
"There is still more work to be done," he said adding that there were clearly additional people involved. "We are watching anxiously the next developments because this is not the end of the line."

keep warm, carry on
I've mentioned before my struggles with dressing warmly for the office, and this week has tested my layering skills to the max as I now do 8am starts, and when I'm at one of our two surgeries this often means no-one has been in first to turn the heating on (and it's an old building that is cold at the best of times). I seem to have been living in similar sorts of outfits when I am based there, and yesterday was no exception...a fluffy (but sparkly) jumper from New Look with a thermal cami underneath, worn with a H&M pencil skirt, warm tights and my fuzzy lined boots by Betty London c/o Spartoo.
I find winter dressing such a chore, there is so little scope to be creative (at least, with the restrictions of what I already own, and I shamefully lack the basics) I'm torturing myself with Spring/Summer look books and dreaming of what I'll be wearing when Spring finally arrives!
This weekend I predict jeans and chunky knits, which look chic on some people, but leave me feeling a little bit frumpy!
What are you living in right now? And any exciting weekend plans? I've been quite poorly all week so I'm hoping for some nausea free days where I can relax, catch up on things I've neglected and generally slob around!

Oh getting to work dressing was always a nightmare. Freezing walk to station - sweating on tube. Bedraggled at office. In the Summer you get the opposite - boiling on the tube again, but then freezing under the air conditioning. I love all my jumpers, but hate the fluff all over the top underneath.
Right now I'm not working, so it's tights or leggings under skinny jeans, big boots and big jumpers! Plus fake fur of course.
Your outfit is great, neutral but cosy. And the boots are on my lust list.

Well it looks a very snug and stylish outfit. I've been living in boots the past week. What with being at centre parcs for 3 days and having to walk loads layers have been a must! As for today that to will be layering up and visiting all the ill people in the family, which is quite a few so I'll have a busy day!

This looks like a great balance of shape with warmth. Great boots too! I find the hardest thing is the fluctuating temperature - from below freezing, outdoor train platform to hasty uphill walk to overheated college classrooms. Never seem to get the number of layers right!
