Primer on Probiotics
By Nora Simmons
Probiotic, prebiotic; good bugs, bad bugs. Every time we turn around, another study champions the benefits of these gut-friendly supplements. But what are they? What do they do? Why should we take them? We asked Angelica S. Vrablic, PhD, a leading expert in nutrition research and a probiotic guru, to give us the lowdown. Here's what we learned:
1. Probiotics are non-pathogenic (not capable of causing harm) bacteria that naturally live in our gut.
2. Probiotics help keep our intestines healthy and our digestive and urinary tracts running smoothly. These immunity boosters keep infection-causing bacteria (think salmonella and ulcer-inducing H. pylori) from thriving in our intestinal tracts by crowding them out and producing proteins that kill them.
3. The body doesn't make probiotics on its own; we have to supply them, either by eating fermented food or taking supplements. Back in the good ol' days, when Grandma pickled her garden-grown cucumbers, fermented the cabbage patch into sauerkraut, and cultured her own yogurt, our diets supplied all the healthy flora we needed. But now almost all fermented foods (even those found in natural grocery stores) contain added sugars and have undergone pasteurization, which kills the good bacteria along with the bad. "If you can find unpasteurized fermented foods (kimchi, pickles, and sauerkraut), buy pasteurized yogurt to which the probiotics have been added back, and eat plenty of prebiotics, you don't need to supplement," says Vrablic. But if you're like most of us—and be honest—you need to supplement.
4. And you should. Every day. Especially after you've taken antibiotics. "Antibiotics kill bacteria, and because probiotics are bacterial cultures, they can't survive. Your gut will desperately need to recolonize its healthy flora," says Vrablic. "But wait until you finish your antibiotics before starting your probiotic supplements." As long as you're not on antibiotics currently, you can take probiotics at any time of the day, with or without food. And they're totally safe; even a first-time probiotic user can confidently take the recommended dose every day.
5. So what is a prebiotic? Simply put, a prebiotic is food—a complex carb (fiber)—for your probiotic bacteria. For example, Lactobacillus acidophilus feed on the lactose from milk; they then produce lactic acid and thus yogurt. Common prebiotics include inulin (carb from chicory), pectin fiber (from citrus fruit), and almonds. Many probiotic supplements will contain a prebiotic formula too.
6. You can find formulas that specifically target different digestive issues: Lactobacillus acidophilus for gassy stomachs and lactose intolerance; bifidobacteria for intestinal problems and deeper digestive issues; or Lactobacillus rhamnosus for general gut and immune support. But Vrablic recommends finding a good all-around daily supplement that includes several strains so that you cover all your bases.
7. When you choose a supplement, rem...

Smithtown school district faces cash crunch
Smithtown's school district faces a looming $4.5 million deficit in next year's budget unless officials find ways to cut spending or increase revenue, its superintendent said this week.
Anthony Annunziato told the school board Tuesday that increases in expenses such as salaries, health insurance and special education would drive up spending by 5.54 percent, to $227.3 million next year. But revenue is projected to go up only 3.5 percent, to $222.8 million, unless Smithtown pierces the state cap on tax-levy increases.
He said he does not want the district to ask voters to override Smithtown's tax cap, which he said would be 3.5 percent. Under the state tax cap law, a 60 percent supermajority is required to override the cap.

MORE: News alerts, newsletters | Twitter | Facebook
"That's not really what my plan is," Annunziato said in an interview. "My plan is to look to make reductions."
He said he would offer possible spending trims during a Feb. 5 school board meeting.
Smithtown would see a 2.39 percent cut in state aid under the proposed state budget submitted Tuesday by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo. State aid could be increased by the Legislature, Annunziato said.
School board president Gladys Waldron said the district's options are limited. She said the district could cut spending by reducing staff or increasing class sizes. "The only place you really can save is, you have to look at programs," she said.
Annunziato, who took the Smithtown job in July, said the district's $215.34 million budget for 2012-2013 does not allocate sufficient funds for expenses such as electricity and substitute teachers, forcing it to dip into reserves. He said the district budget is replete with what he referred to as "zero codes" -- line items for which insufficient funds had been allocated. In some cases, no money had been budgeted for routine expenses.
For example, he said, the district had spent $470,234 so far this year to hire substitutes -- though no money had been budgeted for them. The district has spent $1.4 million on electricity, though only $438,000 was budgeted for that expense, Annunziato said.
The district dipped into reserves to pay those expenses, leaving it with less surplus that could be used to limit next year's tax increase, he said.

MUSIC REVIEW: The Schleswig-Holstein Festival Chamber Orchestra (SCA performance)
Date: March 31, 2010
by: June LeBell
If you want a special summer treat, visit the Salzau Castle near Hamburg, Germany, and hear the fantastic young musicians of the Schleswig-Holstein Festival. Hand-picked, auditioned and under the age of 27, these are some of the finest young players in the world.
If you weren't planning a trip to Europe, I hope you had a chance to hear the Schleswig-Holstein Festival Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Christoph Eschenbach, when they were presented Friday at the Van Wezel, under the auspices of the Sarasota Concert Association, in works by Beethoven and Mozart with the astonishing superstar pianist, Lang Lang.
I say "astonishing" because he was the soloist in the Mozart G Major Concerto, K. 453, a charming but deceptively simple work, written for one of the composer's pupils. Lang, known for his fiery, flashy flamboyance, was pure finesse this time around, electrifying in his straightforwardness. He produced music that was unpretentious, clean and spectacularly beautiful and moving.
There were moments when the small chamber orchestra and Eschenbach became one organism and the pianist another and played off each other in the kind of honest, open musicianship that goes straight to the heart of the music and cuts deep into the heart of the listener. Lang, playing with grace and introspection, was the essence of artistry.
From the Beethoven "Leonore" Overture No. 3, which had a slightly shaky start, to the concise, beautiful phrasing of the composer's Seventh Symphony, these youthful masters of music and their conductor gave us perfectly arched phrases in enthusiastic performances. The music was first and foremost, and the result was breathtaking.
Special mention must be made of the wind section, especially the principal flutist and oboist, who were spectacular. The orchestra, made up of musicians from all over the world, would probably sound like the Tower of Babel if they spoke. But, when they played, there was only one language: music.

Springfield, MO (September 13, 2014) – Brad Looney of Republic, MO picked up the win for the 14th annual Larry Phillips Memorial at Springfield Raceway Saturday night and picked up $3,475.00 for his efforts. Looney, the 2011 MARS champion, withstood the challenges of Springfield, MO Terry Phillips and Jeremy Payne to get the win. The race honors Larry Phillips and the iconic #75. Looney also won the 2013 edition of the Larry Phillips Memorial.
Jesse Stovall of Billings, MO was the pole-sitter for the 75 lap feature, but a broken shock on the parade lap forced him to return to the pits before the race ever began. Will Vaught of Crane, MO inherited the pole and led the first 10 laps before Jeremy Payne of Springfield, MO would get by him on lap 11. The race ran caution free until the yellow flag came out on lap 32 as Vaught slowed on the backstretch. On the double file restart, Payne led the field down the front straightway as Looney would get going on the high side and make the pass for the lead on lap 34.
Payne would settle for second and Justin Wells of Aurora, MO; Kyle Beard of Trumann, AR and Tony Jackson Jr of Lebanon, MO rounded out the top five.
Heat race winners were: Stovall, Looney, Payne and Jeff Roth of Bentonville, AR.

Shareholder spring? Protesters roil annual meetings
Companies including Bank of America, Citigroup, General Electric and Wells Fargo have faced shareholder anger and protests at their annual gatherings.
It's that time of year again -- the time when companies and shareholders gather for their annual meetings.
But there's a new twist to this rite of spring. This year, the buzz in corporate America isn't what goodie bags of your products you offer shareholders, or what food or entertainment you lay on to keep them smiling, but how much security you can deploy to make sure you get through the event without too much loss of dignity.
Just months after Time magazine dubbed "The Protester" the 2011 person of the year, it isn't just Middle Eastern dictators or Wall Street bankers facing riled up crowds armed with custard pies and harsh criticism.
The 99% Movement -- a kind of spinoff of the Occupy Wall Street movement -- showed up to protest General Electric's (GE) annual meeting and drew (more) public attention to the fact that the behemoth multinational has paid little to no taxes in some years. Police arrested about a dozen protesters at Wells Fargo's (WFC) annual meeting, as well as several environmental activists who chained themselves to railroad tracks to block the deliver of a trainload of coal to a Duke Energy (DUK) power plant. On the same day, several dozen of their counterparts showed up at Duke's head office in Charlotte, N.C., just before its annual meeting. And yes, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. annual meeting drew its fair share of protestors this week, too.
In Charlotte, city officials braced themselves for the biggest turnout of protesters yet, as Bank of America (BAC) held its own annual meeting Wednesday and hundreds of protesters gathered outside the banks' headquarters. Four people were reportedly arrested for trying to force their way into the meeting.
Organizers had served notice that they intended to deliver a petition signed by 75,000 people to the bank's honchos at the meeting, demanding that the bank stop using its funds for political purposes, arguing that the "Citizens United" ruling by the Supreme Court undermines democracy. The overall plan? "To demand that the bank fundamentally change the way it does business," said Brigid Flaherty, executive director for a group called the Pushback Network. Inside the shareholder meeting, CEO Brian Moynihan heard a similar message again and again from shareholders upset about everything from the bank's foreclosure practices and mortgage servicing to its role in the payday lending industry and its customer service.
Is it premature or over-reaching to refer to these events as a kind of "shareholder spring"? Not entirely. Setting aside the antics by protesters eager to grab headlines and whip up controversy, there are some more sober and considered sources of opposition to "business as usual" in corporate boardrooms. Protesters alone, for instance, couldn't have mustered enough votes to vote against Citigroup (C) CEO Vikram Pandit's $14.8 million pay package. Other companies -- Credit Suisse (CS) and Barclays (BCS) among them -- also got "no" votes on compensation.
Many shareholder resolutions or votes like this aren't binding on the company and the board -- but institutional investors can also line up to take more dramatic action. For instance, the $5.7 billion Sequoia Fund (SEQUX) announced plans last month to vote against James Johnson, a veteran Goldman director and former CEO of Fannie Mae, who sits on Goldman's (GS) compensation committee.
The target of Sequoia's ire isn't the pay packages at Goldman, but rather what the fund's managers see as a track record of failure at Fannie Mae. "Rather than act conservatively to protect taxpayers, during Johnson's tenure Fannie ramped up its growth by buying lower-quality mortgages," they wrote in a letter urging support for their proposal. If they win enough allies, Johnson will have to pack his bags and move out of the boardroom. The bank itself, so far, is simply shrugging off the controversy; a spokesman last month was quoted as saying that Johnson has served Goldman's shareholders well for 13 years "and will continue to do so." The latter part of that statement will be determined at the company's May 24 annual meeting.
Annual meetings are the one time each year when corporate directors and senior executives come face to face not only with their employees but with a wider community, and at which even the smallest investor has the right to ask a question or raise a topic for debate. For years, however, they were able to rush through these events, making them feel like pro-forma events at which the company's agenda was rubber-stamped by its investors. Every now and then a company that was failing miserably to deliver respectable returns to its investors would face a proxy battle. Mining or energy companies would have to deal with questions from environmental groups or for those doing business in politically sensitive regions of the world might find their business practices coming under scrutiny from human rights and other organizations.
What is happening now -- behind all the antics of protestors -- is more sweeping and serious, however. Changes to corporate governance rules and greater transparency, combined with a growing willingness to question "business as usual" in the wake of the financial crisis and subsequent recession, means that even groups like Sequoia are more willing to challenge the status quo if they see the companies that they invest in fly in the face of valid concerns.
True, some shareholders have huffed and puffed over the audacity of critics, arguing that they should focus more on the financial gains that companies have delivered for their shareholders. But that misses the point. To a growing number of investors, the definition of acting in the best interests of a company's shareholders is changing, slowly but steadily, as is that of what constitutes an acceptable return on their investment. It's no longer enough to generate outsize returns if they come at the expense of the environment, human rights or other "social responsibility" issues. More investors are putting money into funds like those run by Trillium Asset Management, which in turn is urging support for "no political spending" shareholder proposals like that coming up for debate today at Bank of America.
It is no longer business as usual at annual meetings. The coming year will show whether corporate boards have taken the growing surge of bona fide criticism to heart and not just tsk-tsked over protesters' tactics.

PR-B boys come up short against Menahga, Park Rapids
The traveling Pine River-Backus team played well, but came up short against the Menahga Braves in a 65-49 loss on Thursday, Jan. 31.
The Tigers were able to play a strong game for much of the first half, and appeared to be headed for an upset before ultimately falling short. The game saw many lead changes early in the game until Menahga made a run before the half and never again relinquished the lead.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's first television ad of his 2014 re-election campaign will start airing across Kentucky Thursday.
The ad features McConnell's wife, former U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine Chao.
The ad is in response to a tweet from the liberal group, Progress Kentucky, that McConnell called a "racial slur" in reference to his wife. The ad also responds to ads attacking McConnell's gun control stance.
The tweet has been deleted since it was posted in February and the group later apologized.
Democrats say McConnell's early start in campaigning proves he is worried about rumored challenger, actress Ashley Judd.
Judd has not yet said she will run for the senate seat in 2014.

Moody's Corporation Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (MCO)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 4.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 13.1%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- MOODY'S CORP has improved earnings per share by 9.2% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, MOODY'S CORP increased its bottom line by earning $3.03 versus $2.49 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.56 versus $3.03).
- The gross profit margin for MOODY'S CORP is currently very high, coming in at 72.60%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 25.74% is above that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 226.77% to $202.60 million when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow of 226.77%, MOODY'S CORP is still growing at a significantly lower rate than the industry average of 642.07%.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 79.35% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. We feel that the stock's sharp appreciation over the last year has driven it to a price level which is now somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. The other strengths this company shows, however, justify the higher price levels.

The Alchemyst (2007)
by Michael Scott
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I wouldn't say that it's quite as good as Harry Potter, but not bad if you like the historical aspect of how the characters interact.
I just picked up this book and had no idea what a powerfully active adventure it would turn out to be.
Concur w/ the K--it has a lot of mythology in it. The most memorable aspects of this book for me were the vegetarian vampire, and when Josh teaches Nicholas about Green Day.
In order to know what happens to them all, we are supposed to read the 2nd one....suspense!
Concur w/ the K--it has a lot of mythology in it. The most memorable aspects of this book for me were the vegetarian vampire, and when Josh teaches Nicholas about Green Day.
In order to know what happens to them all, we are supposed to read the 2nd one....suspense!
I really like this book because it is full of action and surprises. In the book, Sophie and Josh are twins. Their parents are archeologists so they move a lot. In the beginning, Sophie and Josh are normal like any teenager, they work for Nick and Perry Fleming. But then Dr. John Dee comes and does something that will change their lives forever. (Mya)
The immortal Michael Scott, John Dee and the dark elders have been fighting for a long time for the most magical book ever created. The book of Abraham the mage or the codex. If john Dee and the dark elders has the book in their hands it would be chaos. Josh and Sophie Newman are the twins from the prophecy so that means that they are the saviors of the earth. Josh's aura is pure gold and Sophie's aura is pure silver. while josh and Sophie had gone to hekates shadow realm to be awakened (to use power from your auras). Sophie and josh had to be awakened so Sophie had gone first and as the ending of Sophie's awakening john Dee had started war in hekates shadow realm. hekate had created her shadow realm so her shadow realm was destroyed so she was destroyed with it. hekate had gone too protect her realm without awakening josh and through out the book josh was mad at Nicholas flamel because Sophie's senses were hurting her. After hekates shadow realm got destroyed they went to scatty's, mother the witch of Ojai. john Dee almost gets josh to go on the side with the dark elders but Sophie had convinced him not too. they had teleported to Paris through a leygate to find someone to train Sophie and hopefully awaken josh.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385736002, Paperback)He holds the secret that can end the world.
The truth: Nicholas Flamel was born in Paris on September 28, 1330. Nearly 700 years later, he is acknowledged as the greatest Alchemyst of his day. It is said that he discovered the secret of eternal life.
The records show that he died in 1418.
But his tomb is empty.
The legend: Nicholas Flamel lives. But only because he has been making the elixir of life for centuries. The secret of eternal life is hidden within the book he protects—the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. That's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. Humankind won't know what's happening until it's too late. And if the prophecy is right, Sophie and Josh Newman are the only ones with the power to save the world as we know it.
Sometimes legends are true.
And Sophie and Josh Newman are about to find themselves in the middle of the greatest legend of all time.
From the Hardcover edition.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:31:20 -0400)
While working at pleasant but mundane summer jobs in San Francisco, fifteen-year-old twins, Sophie and Josh, suddenly find themselves caught up in the deadly, centuries-old struggle between rival alchemists, Nicholas Flamel and John Dee, over the possession of an ancient and powerful book holding the secret formulas for alchemy and everlasting life.… (more)

User Reviews
The community thinks...
Tristan by Beckatt on 12/07/2011. Trim: 2010 Kia Soul !, Owned 2 years.
Pros: Much more room than expected, especially in the back seat. I drove this car 1 hour each way to and from work every day for 2 years...very comfortable and great gas mileage! Love the bluetooth and other steering wheel features. This is the first car I've owned where friends, family and random strangers alike get excited and want to see inside.
Cons: The map lights have always rattled and it gets annoying...fortunately the stereo is great and drowns it out :)
Overall review: Love my Tristan, I've had him for 2 and a half years now and have recommended this car to everyone I know...and some I don't!

Casey Anthony Labeled Caylee Trouble?
Novelty T-shirts send a damaging message to your kid.
It's been almost a year since Caylee Anthony's body was found, and her mother Casey has been sitting in jail waiting for her first-degree murder trial to begin. Meanwhile, those who have been following the tragedy continue to speculate on how and why Caylee met her terrible fate, shoved into a plastic garbage bag and tossed into the woods.
Now what the little girl was last wearing is creating even more speculation. According to police reports, Caylee was wearing a shirt that said "Big Trouble Comes in Small Packages." The National Enquirer reports: "In an act that police believe shows she carefully planned her daughter Caylee's murder, Casey dressed the little girl in a T-shirt that sadistically spelled out her sick motive for killing the child."
Does that mean anyone who buys their kid a shirt that says "Here comes trouble" or "Rotten to the Core" is harboring some secret resentment against their child? How does labeling our kids for all the world to see affect their self-esteem?
The prognosis isn't positive, says psychologist Dr. Michelle Golland. "If we perpetuate a negative stereotype of our child, it can become self-fulfilling prophecy -- reinforcing negative behavior." Dr. Golland wonders what the benefit is of letting a child wear a shirt that highlights a negative trait in the first place. "Why not highlight something positive instead?" She also warns that if your kid's wearing a shirt that says "Bratty" or "Sassy," that is how others will perceive your child.
|Dr. Michelle Golland is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Los Angeles with a focus on issues relating to couples, individuals, and families. She lives in Los Angeles, California with her husband, son and daughter.
I find words on clothing tacky in general, especially when across the butt.
My child has a shirt that says "Drama is My Middle Name" - but I like the fact that she's dramatic. I consider it to be a good thing about her. She hams for the camera, bursts into song - it's who she is. And even when she's dramatic about something in a negative way, like throwing a tantrum - well, once again, that's just who she is. She feels things deeply and reacts accordingly. I find it a charming quality in her, one of the main things that makes her HER, but you've got me rethinking my purchase now. What I find to be a quality could be what another reader sees as a flaw.
My little one has a t-shirt that says "Warning! I'm a 2 year old!" It brings on lots of chuckles, because he is a very active and fun. Some saying are really cute. But I do agree with Tennmom about saying across the butt. Tacky.
Writing across the butt is so trashy. Some saying are cute but others are terrible. My hillbilly sister-in-law bought my nephew a top that said "I love boobies". And, just the other day I saw a girl (about 5) at the grocery store. She was a big girl and her outfit was a couple sizes too small. Across the chest it said "Booty Call". Sick.
I agree….I think most novelty tees are tacky and especially writing on the bottom..that just calls attention to little girl's bottoms..just what we need, huh? If my child wears a top with writing, it is totally neutral…like the shirt he has on now, which is a tee with guitars and the words, "Rock, Rock, Rock!"
None of those tacky tees!
Yeah, I'm agreeing with words across the rear - my mother bought my daughter some, and they immediately got sent back to the store. But this story has more to do with the "attitude" shirts that parents buy for kids, usually for children who can't even read them yet. While few of us (if ANY) would buy our kid the "Booty Call" shirt, would we have bought Caylee Anthony's "Big Trouble Comes in Small Packages" shirt without a second thought?
For heaven's sake! It's a tee shirt with a saying on it. Are there REALLY so many uptight prudes walking around these days offended by a cute saying? GET OVER YOURSELVES! Oh, and for the record, my breastfed son also has a shirt that reads "I love boobies".
Mother Nature, you rock!
I LOVE humor shirts, own quite a collection and will spend a full half hour LOL in stores that carry decent quantities of them!
I have to agree with Mother Nature - world of difference between a five year old having Booty Call splashed across the derriere vs. a smart-alecky shirt like "Big Trouble in Little Packages". As much as I dislike Casey Anthony, I do believe that folks are digging a little too deeply with this one…
My son had a onsie in his early days that declared him to be "Momma's Little Monster". He wore it on days when I'd gotten little sleep and there was no soothing him. Why? Because it made me giggle when I would have otherwise broken down in tears for the better part of the day!
meat packages?
Across the rear, tacky!!! My 3yo. son has a shirt that says,"Daddy's little helper, will work for cookies". What is wrong with that?
sorry, totally disagree here on the t-shirts. My son has a speech delay, behavioral issues and SPD and I put him in quirky shirts on a regular basis to deflect some of the stares we get when his behavior is not "perfect." I usually crack up his teachers on a weekly basis with shirts like, Next Tantrum :05, and I tried to be good, but I got bored. I think its funny and he knows he is loved no matter what. My husband, daughter and I all have shirts like this and its a huge joke among us.
Across the butt? NO ONE should wear it.
Maybe it is digging too deeply talking about t- shirts with funny phrases..but we're talking about what's in the mind of a very cold blooded murderer,who is not a normal mother.
This horrible b—— was really thinking her child was too much "trouble" to be allowed to live.

- Great food, service, and valueOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/30/2014This is our first time at the restaurant, and we were very impressed. The food was excellent. Try to zucchini blossoms and the pork loin. The service was great. Our server Brian was very accommodating. Overall, given the level of food, the portion, and the good service, we very very happy with the restaurant. We will definitely go back.Special Features:
- Unexpected gemdiscerningdinerVIPDined on 8/28/2014We were in the neighborhood and looked for a place close by. The restaurant decor is not much, yet felt like quintessential SF. The food, however, was outstanding. The kohlrabi and carrot soup was creamy, without being heavy and absolutely delicious. The fig and prosciutto tart had just enough sweet to balance the salt and the crunch of the puff pastry was perfect. The angliotti was so delicate and the sauce (broth) was so delicate I literally could drink it. The crispy skin chicken, probably was the best chicken dish I've ever had. The meat was so succulently moist and tasty beneath the most perfectly crisped skin - my mouth waters just thinking about it. Every dish was so well balanced with just the right amount of seasoning, acid, etc.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Company!DroooDined on 8/23/2014Lovely quaint neighborhood bistro! The owner and staff are terrific, the food is delicious. The Enjoy!
- GoodMargaretVIPDined on 8/22/2014Company is a nice, comfortable, easy to get to spot. Everything my friends and I tried was good, but there was nothing outstanding. We tried the stuffed zucchini blossoms and the fig/proscuitto tart as appetizers. Both were nice but could have used more salt, but that's a personal opinion. My husband had the capellini, he ate all of it but wasn't overwhelmed with it's flavor. My friend had the steak frites and bavette steak - both were great, it was the standout dish of the evening. The fries had a nice smokey seasoning. I had the onion panisse, it was interesting, very acidic. Everything was fine. I will say our server was great. He had a suggestion for every course, and was never hovering.
- Good CompanyOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/17/2014Lovely restaurant, great food, excellent service. Everything was really great, food, service and ambiance.

- Had higher expectationsOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/1/2014Based on several reviews, I had higher expectations of the food. It was "okay" at best. The service was excellent however.
- great food but very expensivefoodieDined on 7/27/2014Food is tasty and the bread is amazing! However, it's a bit overpriced and the drinks were a little watered down.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful neighborhood bistro!!OaklandfoodieVIPDined on 7/18/2014I love this place. I only wish it were closer to Potrero, or that they'd open a branch over here! The salad, the superb chicken, the wines, and the frites are all outstanding. Next time I want to try the burger or the steak ... but it's so hard not to keep ordering the chicken!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Cute decor, nice mission location (parking hard but that's the entire neighborhood and city), warm friendly prompt service, terrific food, best desserts and cappuccino!

- A Plesant SurpriseRPalDined on 6/22/2014A friend had given me a substantial gift certificate for Company a couple months back and I was looking for an occasion to use it. Three of us went on a Monday night for a quiet Birthday dinner for one of my house-mates. We were blown away by the food. The quality and taste of every dish was off the chart good. Our waiter, a very pleasant young man, knew the menu and wine list thoroughly and was quite helpful. I'll definitely be be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wouldn't want to go back hereMissiondinerDined on 6/20/2014The food was decent and our server was friendly but overall I didn't think that much of this place. My partner's first drink tasted watered down but the worst part was that they sat us at a table in the entry area right by the front door. It was really cold as people came in and out and in spite of that they had the ceiling fan right above us turned on! They even halfway apologized as they sat us there, saying it wasn't really a table. So why make it available on Open Table?? There are plenty of great places to eat in the Mission, so I don't really see any reason to try this place again.
- The following 122 reviews are from the Company reviews archive.
- good food, poor serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 6/1/2014The place used to be a Thai restaurant and Twee was the owner. She is still there but her heart is not in it. She mopes around, looks bored mostly and just isn't attentive. The other two waiters were stressed, didn't check in with us after dropping off the food, looked haggared. The food coming from the kitchen was good, except the fries were soggy. Probably due to sitting too long due to the slow service. We reordered and the next batch was fine.Special Features:
- Better than everMatteDined on 5/27/2014The food has always been very good, but it has got even better since Karen too over as chef. superb mussels, divine white corn soup.Special Features:
- Awesome place!!!Tweety88Dined on 5/18/2014This place has great food and a wonderful staff. I came here with a few friends, and never had the whole restaurant treat me so nicely. Love the gnocchi, and the kale chips! The sevice was especially wonderful. The waiter was knowledgeable about everything on the menu. He recommended his favorites, and my friends were not disappointed. I also have to mention that this server was extremely handsome ;) I think he said his name was Collin? Or Cameron? Well whoever is dating him sure is lucky.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable bistro in MissionPurpleHazeDined on 5/16/2014We were visiting SF from the Midwest, and it was a daunting task to select a restaurant with so many good options available. We lucked into Company. Great ambience, mussels, limited but outstanding menu. Will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New Chef, New FoodMatteDined on 5/13/2014I loved Jason's food at Company, but based on my first experience with Karen, her's may be even better. Certainly the white corn soup, the grilled asparagus, and the mussels absolutely soared.Special Features:
- This neighborhood gem still shines!LocalgirlVIPDined on 4/29/2014Still serving an innovative menu inspired by fresh, seasonal produce in an intimate setting, Company will definitely make you feel like…company!Special Features:
- Over dressed and under seasonedLovegoodfoodandwineVIPDined on 4/27/2014Only thing I liked about this place was the server. Food was boring and over cooked (med rare burger came well done), some of the ingrediences are not listed on the menu ( some sort of yellow yeast on kale crisps, yuck), chicken was just bland.. Ingrediences on the chicken dish did not make sense together... Very odd! Empty Sunday night and no wonder why.
- Lamb shank and risotto - fabulous!grayDined on 4/22/2014I had the lamb and my sister had the wild mushroom risotto. Did not care for the tempranillo but had a nice cab for the second glass.Special Features:
- loved it, but...OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/18/2014Loved the food, but as noted by many who have dined there, the service leaves a lot to be desired. After we finished our meal, we waited for forty minutes for the check, and finally had to get up from the table, stake out the kitchen entrance, and corral our waitperson when he emerged. Don't go if you're in a hurry to get somewhere else.Special Features:

- DisappointedDisappointedVIPDined on 3/20/2014I looked forward to checking out Company, but was disappointed. Maybe I was there on an off night, but nothing was good. The blackberry and ginger cocktail I ordered on the strong recommendation of the waitress was compleley tasteless. The food, which took a good hour to come out of the kitchen, was equally uninspiring. I had the mushroom risotto, which had been promoted as a new Spring addition to the menu, but it tasted like it was out of a box. My friend who ordered a medium rare burger got an overlooked piece of rubber he couldn't even finish. My other friend ordered the sole and needed to request some lemons from the kitchen to give it at least some flavor. Not going back.
- Great night outOpenTable Diner Since 2001VIPDined on 3/18/2014Solid execution. Amazing flavor combinations in both their food and drinks. Great cocktails (though they don't have a full bar). Everything I ate there was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pretty ordinarySarahSupperDined on 3/14/2014Nothing stood out- white beans with the fish were not soft, fries not crisp and lots of empty tables. Had gone several months before and had a good meal, perhaps chef change or general downhill slide? Waitstaff was friendly and competent if not super professional.
- We really enjoyed the dinner.JackieBDined on 3/13/2014We really enjoyed the dinner. I especially like the warm ricotta appetizer. The ricotta was made on-site.Special Features:
- We really enjoyed it!cftylerVIPDined on 3/7/2014We selected Company based on Open Table reviews and we were not disappointed. We dined early prior to attending a play-- the restaurant was pleasantly quiet and comfortable. Food was terrific. We would definitely recommend and return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chicken Wings and ScallopsMattegrayDined on 3/4/2014Sometimes i don't feel like eating in and just go out for a quiet dinner by myself. Tonight was one of those occasions, so i hit Company for the chicken wing appetizer, tender and crisp and dressed in a pomegranate reduction with rosemary and black pepper. And then a new item on the menu, sauteed scallops on a bed of tiny black lentils, a combination i'd never had that worked very well. A very pleasant dining experience even without having anyone to share it with.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Definition of 'Earnout'
A contractual provision stating that the seller of a business is to obtain additional future compensation based on the business achieving certain future financial goals.
Investopedia explains 'Earnout'
The financial goals are usually stated as a percentage of gross sales or earnings.
Say an entrepreneur selling a business is asking $2,000,000 based on projected earnings, but the buyer is willing to pay only $1,000,000 based on historical performance. An earnout provision structures the deal so that the entrepreneur receives more than the buyer's offer only if the business achieves a certain level of earnings. The exact numbers would depend upon the business, but in this example a simplified provision might set the purchase price at $1,000,000 plus 5% of gross sales over the next three years. The earnout thereby helps eliminate uncertainty for the buyer.

Jim Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: CVS MU URI NWN EMC AVP (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus". (Updates from 10:55 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Wednesday.
CVS Caremark (CVS) is a "great company" in a "great industry," Cramer said. He also likes Walgreen (WAG) and Rite Aid (RAD). CVS jumped 4.3% to $69.69.
Shares of Micron (MU) are headed lower on reports Hynix will have its DRAM plant running much sooner then expected. According to Cramer, this will equate to lower DRAM prices, thus hurting MU. MU dropped 4.8% to $21.81.
United Rentals (URI) "remains one of the great plays on non-residential construction in 2014," Cramer said. URI was 2.2% higher at $75.72.The U.S. is flush with natural gas, something that should benefit Northwest Natural Gas (NWN), Cramer said. Unfortunately, the company keeps doing different equity deals, which has "got to stop," he said. NWN rose 1% to $42.70. Merrill Lynch cut its estimates on EMC Corp. (EMC). Cramer added the "big growth" thesis has failed to play out and the company can't seem to "make as much money as we thought." EMC was flat at $23.61. Merrill Lynch downgraded Avon Products (AVP) to hold from buy, based on a longer-than-expected turnaround story. Cramer said it feels like the rating agency is giving up on CEO Sheri McCoy. AVP rose 1% to close at $17.08. To sign up for Jim Cramer's free Booyah! newsletter, with all of his latest articles and videos, please click here. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich.

The funeral for a Cold Spring police officer killed in the line of duty is set for Wednesday.
Tom Decker, 31, was ambushed Thursday and shot twice while responding to a report of a suicidal man. He was married with two sons and two daughters.
His family on Saturday said the visitation would be Tuesday at 4 p.m. at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Cold Spring. The funeral will be Wednesday at 11 a.m. at Saint John's Abbey and University Church in Collegeville.
Several funds have been set up for those who are interested in helping Officer Decker's family.

The killing shocked residents of Cold Spring, a city of about 4,000 residents about 75 miles northwest of Minneapolis. Many became teary-eyed when reporters asked them about Decker.

Maintaining a healthier lifestyle and losing weight are popular New Year's resolutions. In fact, on the list of top New Year's resolutions on the USA.gov website, five of the 13 most popular goals have to do with better fitness and health. What's more, according to a study mentioned on WebMD, around 30% of resolutions involve weight loss and 15% cite wanting to start working out. If you have set a health-related goal for the new year, here are some easy tips to help you see it through to completion.
1. Set Specific Short Term and Long Term Goals
Losing weight and eating healthier are worthy resolutions, but if that's as specific as you made them, chances are you're having trouble seeing them through. Make your goals specific, like a particular weight, a certain time for running a mile, or a set number of reps for your strength training. Then, set several benchmarks between the day you start and your end date so you can track your progress.
2. Start Small
You don't have to change your entire routine overnight. There's nothing like a complete shock to your system to make you lose motivation fast. Start small like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or a walk at lunch instead of sitting at your desk for the entire time. Replace one of your salty snacks with something healthier or start packing your own lunch. Build towards your first benchmark and increase your workout tasks or dietary changes as you get more comfortable with your new fitness program.
3. Mistakes are OK
Just because you skip a workout or splurge on dessert does not mean that your resolution has gone out the window. If you're maintaining a healthy routine and have stuck to the benchmarks you set for yourself, chances are you're still progressing towards your goal. Allow for a few setbacks along the way and don't use them as an excuse to throw in the towel.
4. Keep Yourself Accountable
The easiest way to let your resolution slip by is to keep it to yourself so no one will know if you started or stuck to it. Tell your friends and family your goals. Chances are, you'll find others with similar resolutions. What's more, like-minded people make a strong support system to help keep your determination and perseverance going strong.
Whether you've already started towards your 2012 goals, or are still working on getting going, we hope these tips help you see your resolutions through.
