You want to get away –– we want to help.
Blue Osa Yoga Retreat and Spa is the perfect place to rejuvenate through the practice of yoga. Yoga is the at the foundation of Blue Osa. From the friendly smiles of the staff who know your name, to the way the bread is baked from scratch daily, everything is done mindfully with love.
With 12 rooms and a capacity for 32 guests, this intimate beachfront eco-resort offers the ultimate sanctuary if you're seeking solace from the hectic world. Nestled off-the-beaten-path in the virgin Costa Rican rainforest of the Southern Osa Peninsula, guests have an endless selection of quiet places to meditate and reflect. Only 50 meters away from the waves, you can see the private beach while practicing yoga from our elegantly designed second floor Yoga Studio. Onsite, there is also a chemical-free lap pool for an afternoon swim.
Yogic not only in design, Blue Osa encourages guests to be mindful by implementing a morning silence to a pre-dinner ritual of presenting the food during their freshly prepared organic farm-to-table communal meals. Napkin rings with guests names are rotated at the dinner table each night to encourage mixing and mingling.
For full relaxation, there is also a full service eco-spa offering locally sourced fruit facials and body scrubs. Massage practitioners offering therapies such as Watsu and Deep Tissue Massage. A Chinese Medicine acupuncturist is also available.
Built from the ground up as a sustainable micro-grid that runs mostly on solar-power, Blue Osa intends to leave the smallest carbon footprint possible for a property of their size. In living in harmony with the environment, guests are able to experience true mindful living in balance with the earth.
Our mission is simple: To provide guests with an unforgettable experience that nourishes body, mind and spirit. What does that mean for you as a guest?
We will take you from stressed out to blissed out from the moment you arrive (downward dogs not required). We offer tailor-made experiences for individuals, groups and retreat leaders. And we especially enjoy facilitating events for yoga teachers, corporate event planners, coaches and other personal growth leaders.

Step into the tranquil oasis that is Blue Osa. Set on a remote beachfront location, this eco-resort houses up to 32 guests in 12 comfortably chic rooms located in three main buildings along with on-site facilities:
A column-free 1,350 square foot open-air YOGA STUDIO on the second floor of the yoga building that overlooks our private beach.
A full-service ECO SPA with two treatment rooms. Each with a private, zen-like garden, and outdoor shower.
The COCINA, an open kitchen and dining room with six tables and thirty-two chairs. During your stay, we provide healthy, mostly plant-based meals that include freshly-caught fish and locally-raised meat and poultry. Coffee, tea, and purified water is available throughout the day
A chemical-free LAP POOL with a solar-powered filtration system. An eco-friendly copper-silver ionizing system is used so that algae and other bacteria cannot live in the water.
The POOL PAVILION with comfortable lounge sofas and chairs, perfect for a casual meeting or reading a great book.
An ORGANIC GARDEN that provides our kitchen with fresh vegetables and herbs. On the property are mango, guanabana, starfruit, citrus, banana, coconut, avocado, and papaya trees as well as a pineapple patch.
A LOUNGE AREA near the staff office features complimentary wireless internet access.

In music, harmony often refers to a blending of tones that is pleasing to the ear. Here at Blue Osa, we believe in living with the rhythms of nature in a way that is pleasing to the soul.
That means, rising with the sun, eating from the land, savoring the beauty of our natural surroundings and reducing our carbon footprint as much as possible (we are an off-the-grid eco-resort). Take care of the earth, and it will take care of you. This is the pure life.
Have you ever physically been somewhere, but mentally "checked-out"? Perhaps, thinking about your To-Do List, or your crowded Inbox! We all do it, but this is exactly what keeps us from recognizing an important truth: True bliss exists in the present moment.
"Yoga is not about checking out of life. Yoga is about about checking in – with yourself, your mind, the environment and the present moment." ~Yogi Aaron
Which is why we practice mindfulness, and encourage our guests to do the same. Even the act of pouring your morning Costa Rican coffee can become a sacred, pleasurable ritual when done with presence. This is yoga.
We believe life is a never ending learning experience. Living stops when learning stops. We provide our guests with ample opportunities to discover, learn and grow.
Everything from our adventure tours to our yoga classes, to our family style meals and spa treatments are carefully crafted with this in mind. Learn. Have fun. Discover new worlds, inside and outside of yourself.
At Blue Osa, we practice what the ancients called karma yoga, or the yoga of selfless action. Whether we're watering the grass, cooking a meal or answering a question –– everything is done with love. The result?
A sense of being cared for that makes you go, "Ahhhh."
We think of everyone as being part of one great big family. From the friendly faces that greet you everyday to the community meals. Everyone knows your name and we go out of our way to ensure you enjoy your stay.
It All Started on a Dusty Road.
It was 2007, and we were hosting our third retreat in Costa Rica as yoga teachers. The drive to the final destination was a long one. And you know what they say about long drives –– they make you think.
For 2 years we had dreamt of creating a special kind of retreat center. A place where people could relax (former New Yorker here). A place where people could savor stillness. And a place where people could safely answer the question, "Who am I?"
It's the question that led me to journey around the world. To see different people. To see different cultures. And to confirm what we knew all along –– that we're all the same. Everybody wants to be loved, and everybody wants to be part of something bigger than themselves. The secret? We already are.
As internationally renowned yoga teachers, we had seen it time and time again: Practicing yoga changes lives. It creates a space so that the answers to our greatest questions can arise naturally, without effort. Put simply, yoga is a catalyst for peace.
Realtors and A French Lady
So, when my driving companion (my then student, now Blue Osa's co-owner) and Adam spotted a beat-up Century 21 sign, we intuitively pulled over. As we exited the car, three dogs and one angry French woman immediately began to bark at us.
"No, go away!" she said.
And so we did. But something told us not to give up so easily. We found a realtor. Toured the property. And… It was a MAJESTIC MESS!
Well-meaning friends and family said don't do it. The costs needed to get the place into gear seemed astronomical and all too risky, considering we were against the idea of partnering with investors from the get-go.
But it just felt right. And like we always tells our students, "The bigger your faith, the bigger your life." So, we went all in. Invested every last cent.
The Dream Comes to Life
That was 5 years ago, and we've never looked back. Have there been some bumps along the way? Sure. But the payoff has been extraordinary. Watching our guests relax, rejuvenate and (in some cases) transform, is now my privilege. Some choose not to practice yoga in the traditional sense, but all enjoy a yogic experience that includes:
• Observing a daily period of silence until 7:30 am.
• Presenting and giving thanks for healthy, farm-to-table meals.
• Ample enclaves on the property for reflection, relaxation and reading.
Many of our guests grow to appreciate the rhythm of life here so much that they feel inspired to bring aspects of it into their daily lives at home.
This is my life's work, and I love it!
Oh, and that "crazy" french woman? Her name is Marie, and she is now "the mother" and head chef of Blue Osa.
And the dogs? They're still here, and we get along just fine now.
If you think Blue Osa is exactly what you've been searching for, we'd love to have you!

Yogi Aaron and Adam Dolle
Blue Osa Yoga Retreat & Spa Owners
It was during a retreat in Hawaii that Aaron and his longtime student, Adam, first discussed creating "a community that is yoga-based… and where people can heal their spirits." Aaron wondered: "Can we create a sanctuary where people can come, connect to themselves, reconnect to each other, and then reintegrate through yoga back into their life?"
Six years later, they purchased property in Costa Rica. "Our vision with Blue Osa is that when people are quiet, removed from distractions of everyday life, something magical happens. A deep calling starts to surface, to awaken."
As Osa's yoga director and Master Teacher, he believes there are several conditions that human beings need to have in order to find their right paths: "I really want them to be spiritually heated-up. When we get heated we can burn away our ego and our ignorance, which is what stops us from remembering who we are. Second, I want my my students to leave feeling good and restored, this comes from a deep remembrance of who they are. Most important—is that they leave feeling a sense of community and fellowship."
Aaron feels blessed to be a witness to such transformations at Blue Osa.
When Aaron became Adam's yoga teacher, the pair began talking about creating a yoga retreat. Several years later, while visiting Costa Rica, they stumbled upon a gated waterfront site with a rusted Century 21 sign and yelping dogs. With the retreat location found, Blue Osa was born.
Adam applied three decades of experience into nearly two years of planning with Aaron and another year of construction, employing 48 skilled workers, to build Blue Osa. The resulting tropical-style design is based on "local wisdom" using the native woods Teca and Cristobial, passive design elements like sunshades, overhangs, vaulted ceilings and tree shading, and open interior spaces that capture sea breezes.
Five years later, reflecting on his decision to engage in this venture, Adam affirms: "Blue Osa represents the power of the human spirit and what you can do with your life if you let go."
Born in Algeria and raised in the beach town of Biarritz in the south of France by a French mother and Italian father, Marie is a self-taught chef. She honed her culinary skills when her husband operated a stylish French bistro in San Francisco, and later an elegant French restaurant in Cartagena, Colombia.
Mindful of guests' health and dietary needs, Marie's dishes are vegetarian-oriented and crafted from what local vegetables are available from Blue Osa's organic garden and the local farmers. Meals are served family-style and often include a protein – fish, beef or poultry. Click here to read more about the food.
Marie's favorite cuisines are French and Mexican with her favorite dishes being Coq au Vin and Sopa de Pescado.
Born and bred on the Osa Peninsula, Michael grew up surrounded by animals. Caring for his family's pigs, horses, and chickens, he would also take long walks deep into the woods bordering his family's farm. "I loved the solitude of the rainforest. And there were so many animals! Toucans, agutis, jagarundis, monkeys."
Today you'll easily spot him beneath these timbers, mixing and blending, chopping and dicing, grilling and baking, boiling and broiling—and always smiling. He manages the kitchen and prepares such traditional desserts as tres leche ("three milks cake"), side dishes like gallo pinto (rice and beans, literally "spotted rooster") and main dishes of fish and meat dishes such as pescado al ajillo (fish in garlic sauce) and carne asada (grilled beef).
Under Marie's watchful eye and care, Jose is becoming a connoisseur in the kitchen, and brings smiles to many of our guest's faces. Jose brings a Costa Rican flavor and fusion to Marie's Euro entrees.
As a native of the Osa Peninsula, Jose has witnessed many changes in his brief lifetime. "Roads have improved. There are more tourists and more jobs." He is optimistic about his future and that of his community and his family—which includes a newborn son.
She found a new meaning to life when she arrived in Osa for the first time in 2006; falling immediately in love with the Peninsula, and a new chapter in her life begun the day she walked into Blue Osa and stayed.
For Laura, Reiki is an integral part of life. Whether in the yoga class or on the massage table, combined with the exuberant nature of paradisaical surroundings, the soothing benefits of this healing energy flow are felt with her mere presence.
Other than body/energy work, Laura loves traveling, reading fantasy novels, writing, painting, nature, and spending quality time with family and friends.
With a philosophy of working for the people as a whole, body- mind-spirit, Marcela applies a holistic approach to her Spa Services.
She weaves sounds, colors, fragrances, and natural ointments while employing the healing power of human touch to rejuvenate.
Transformative describes the sense of well-being experienced in a therapy session with Marcela, whose small frame belies the strength of her hands, heart, and soul.
After learning the rudiments of ancient medical practices from a Master acupuncturist, Koji moved to British Columbia and completed a rigorous five-year curriculum at the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences. Prior to earning his doctor's degree and graduating valedictorian, he returned to China for his clinical practicum.
Like Chinese philosophy, Koji's approach to health care is practical: "I am really into what works. We cannot separate mind from body, but I like to begin with what can be seen." Koji explains, "In Chinese medicine, thoughts and emotions move throughout the body in a particular way. People can have personal and psychological challenges in one's life that affect their body, but when you manipulate the physical body you can influence mind and spirit."
Before he took to the surfboard at age thirteen, Rafa worked as a commercial and sports fisherman out of his hometown of Puerto Jimenez. Now he works with us as a personal trainer and workout coordinator, customizing fitness routines and teaching the fundamentals of surfing.
Like surfing, his English is self-taught. But Rafa is not lacking for words as he glows with excitement describing the perfect wave, the rush of energy from an intense workout, the joys of cooking, or dreams of opening a gym.

Meditation: Rural Roundup
Spring and Fall are great times for cities: the slush is gone, and the stink hasn't yet arrived--but this week I found myself wondering how the other 20.78% lives, so I rounded up a few rural blogs, after the jump. When not raising pigs and selling hand-dyed yarn, Jessie Raymond writes a humor column for Vermont's Addison Independent.
"We flatlanders are always doing things that we think make us more like Vermonters, like baking bread, raising chickens, and knitting, but as it turns out, Vermonters are a practical people who quit doing all that as soon as it became unnecessary for survival."
James Graham writes about living in small-town New Hampshire and renovating his 1850's house, Chez Melendy.
"Every spring, while Cherry blossoms flank the Potomac and Magnolias offer their subtle charms to the gardens of Brooklyn, the rural communities of northern New England struggle to keep their cars from sinking into the mud of those quaint back roads that look so lovely in the fall. The dreaded mud season is upon us."
Small Town Misfit is a compendium of items from small-town police blotters nationwide.
The Ethicurean writes about "tasty things that are also sustainable, organic, local, and/or ethical — SOLE food, for short."

from her site:
"Nearly everyone dreams of moving to the country, but few are crazy enough to actually do it. I am one of those few. In 1994, at 26, I sold my little bakery cafe, packed 200 boxes of books & antiques, & waved goodbye to California. Armed with a basic knowledge of gardening, an overenthusiastic sense of adventure, & lots of naivete, I dragged 4 cats, a huge dog, & my equally greenhorn husband to a 280-acre, 140-year-old farm in the middle of nowhere. I became cook, gardener, shepherd, farmhand, vet, surrogate mom, wildlife expert, midwife, & undertaker. My prep school education & design degree were useless. I went from attending restaurant openings & gallery receptions to working the rural fire dept's BBQ booth at the crafts fair & munching fried pies at country auctions. Twelve years later, much has changed: a new farm, a new garden, a new man in my life. I have sheep, chickens, 2 dogs, 7 cats, & an adorable donkey named Dan. My life revolves around food. I've taught cooking classes & contributed to cookbooks. I've written for Kitchen Gardener, Garden Design & others. I'm slowly building a wholesale artisan bread bakery on my farm. And my name is Susan."
and then there is her other cooking blog: http://inmykitchengarden.blogspot.com/
I just have to say that I ate the eggs that are pictured for dinner. Seriously, all six looked exactly the same, including the fact that two of them were greenish americauna eggs.

text: "Russians called these last years of Brezhnev the years of stagnation. And I sort of wonder whether we are at the same stage now—our own years of stagnation, with an elite desperately trying to shore up a technocratic, economic system with an increasing number of contradictions, while no one can imagine an alternative. In response to that inability to see anything else, everything, including a lot of modern culture—music, TV, and avant-garde art—is being used to shore up the present, reconfigure the past to somehow give a foundation to the present that can't imagine another kind of future. No one can see their way past the sort of financial version of the free market, and the culture reflects that. I do think we're in the years of stagnation."

From the beginnings of human society, religion has shaped lives, formed identities, and held communities together. In the modern world, religious diversity has made religious freedom both a demand of individual conscience and a requirement of social peace. The question for law and society has been, "How much religious freedom can we allow?" New inquiries in history, anthropology, psychology, and sociology suggest that religion remains essential to human identity and social cohesion, even in a modern, pluralistic society. Perhaps, then, the question is, "How much religious freedom do we require?" Answering that question invites critical thinking about how a law that preserves religious freedom can be reconciled with the requirements of many different religions.
Human Dignity and Our Relation to God Featuring Jeremy Waldron
Human Dignity and Our Relation to God, A Theological Response by Robin Lovin
Interdisciplinary studies in psychology, neuroscience, and cultural and biological anthropology are contributing to a comprehensive account of human nature that has never been possible before. Reductive theories that require a choice between monocausal explanations—biological necessity or social construction, genetic inheritance or cultural formation, nature or nurture—are giving way to interdisciplinary accounts of complex human phenomena that draw on multiple explanatory frameworks. Theological accounts of virtue and vice, spiritual experience, and personal transformation have a place in this comprehensive interdisciplinary inquiry, which proceeds not by simply comparing perspectives, methods, and hypotheses, but by asking how each way of knowing can use the results of the other to shape its own substantive questions and future inquiries. › More about the 2013-2014 program
New lines of research in evolutionary biology, anthropology, and behavioral science challenge conventional understandings of human nature and development, both in science and religion. These developments set the background for CTI's Inquiry on Evolution and Human Nature in 2012-13. Through their individual research projects and critical, collaborative discussions, the team members worked toward a comprehensive, multi-leveled account of human experience, reaching from genetic origins to the cultural formations that transmit ideas and experience to new generations.
Discussions in the research team resulted in scholarly publications and public presentations that explore the role of religion in the evolution of human culture and the biological and cultural sources of cooperation that make human communities and traditions possible. You can learn more about the Inquiry on Evolution and Human Nature and follow the future work of research team members on CTI's "News" page.

HEBRON | The Metropolitan School District of Boone Township is in financial trouble and won't be able to continue its present staffing and programs without a tax increase.
Superintendent George Letz made a pitch to the community in the first public forum to discuss the financial concerns facing the school district and possible solutions.
Letz explained the financial picture in great detail to residents, and presented a plan that would call for a property tax increase of 0.2338 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, raising $530,000 per year. A resident whose property is valued at $144,600 would pay an additional $144 more per year. A resident whose property was valued at $200,000 would pay an additional $228 more per year.
By law, a general fund referendum could raise money for the district for up to seven years, however, school officials have not decided how many years they will seek.
The School Board is scheduled to vote on whether to authorize a general fund referendum at a special meeting Jan. 22. If the board approves a referendum, it could be on the ballot in May.
Letz was hit with nearly a dozen questions from the community even before he finished his presentation. One man said taxes are already high on his commercial property and on agricultural land. He suggested the school district should have consolidated several years ago with a neighboring district, saving the cost of a superintendent and teachers. Others questioned the tax increment financing district and how that affected schools. Another resident said the school system's level of debt was a problem.
Standing in front of the Hebron High School auditorium with a microphone and following his PowerPoint presentation, Letz answered each question patiently and with great detail.
He explained that the district's problems were the fault of cuts at the state level and the tax cap. Letz said the district is projected to lose $806,123 this year as a result. Letz said schools cannot, by law, borrow from other funds such as the debt service, transportation or capital projects fund.
"We receive less money in state support than the state average," Letz told the community. The school district gets $5,190 per student. The state average is $5,668 per student. He said that money goes into the general fund and 95 percent of the fund is used for salary and benefits. The remainder supports programs.
Letz invited residents to contact School Board members and ask questions. He invited them to speak out at upcoming board meetings. Letz said the money generated through a referendum "would not make up for the entire amount the district has lost but it will keep it out of the danger zone."
He said the only other choices would be to make more staff cuts and increase class sizes, cut programs or merge with another district.

HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) - It was a little rougher on the streets of Holland last year than in 2011. The Department of Public Safety's annual report was issued this morning, and a three-year decline in overall police activity ended. Major crimes were up nine percent to over 31 hundred; minor offenses fell by five percent to 28-hundred-46; crashes rose three percent to 14-hundred-35; and overall calls for police service increased eight percent to nearly 15 thousand. Detective cases and juvenile cases were also higher. As for traffic, the top crash site was the intersection of 16th Street and Waverly Road with 35 mishaps, followed by the junction of 32nd Street and US-31 with 29.

Reasonable at the AS Break (F's- the Rest)
Every season NHL teams need help in role positions and send a call to the farm. In some seasons these men emerge as bona fide NHL players, passing others on the depth chart and creating some trouble in terms of roster slots.
We may have that situation for the Edmonton Oilers at the major league level at this time.
The player in question (Gilbert Brule) appears to be forcing his way onto the team at the expense of several others (including Liam Reddox in photo).
Let's begin by listing the games played (and boxcar numbers) by callups in the 08-09 season (through the All-Star break):
- Liam Reddox 23gp, 3-2-5
- Steve MacIntyre 15gp, 1-0-1
- Gilbert Brule 11gp, 2-1-3
- Ryan Potulny 4gp, 0-3-3
- Rob Schremp 4gp, 0-3-3
- Tim Sestito 1gp, 0-0-0
I think that's correct (please post any errors/omissions). There's not much to say about the players who've dressed for fewer than 5 games except that Potulny looked very good and Schremp showed his impressive skill and why he isn't in Edmonton fulltime in equal measure.
Let's take a look at the three players who have played 10 or more games and see if one of them emerges as useful moving forward.
- Reddox -18.4
- Brule -18.6
- MacIntyre -30.1
We don't really expect MacIntyre to perform well in any measurable area outside his role, but this is a very poor Corsi. He plays with dregs and against the least skilled men on the other side and still manages a dire rating. Ivanans in LA has a -6.8, Boogaard in Minny is -9.4. Reddox and Brule have been up and down with Corsi since arriving, according to Desjardins Reddox has been playing with much better linemates and against about the same level competition (which looks right based on viewings). So, Brule would seem to be the superior player from this group.
- Reddox 7-10
- Brule 3-6
Their GF/GA ON numbers are similar but Reddox has a better GA ON/60 (2.79 to 3.48). We're not talking tremendous sample sizes and we know Reddox has been with better players so I don't know if we can draw any conclusions here.
- Brule 1.74
- Reddox 1.40
I think this is a pretty strong tell despite the fact we're not dealing in huge minutes overall. Brule has played with inferior help and is posting a better number. Brule has had 103EV minutes while Reddox has enjoyed 216EV minutes this season.
So if we're looking at a candidate to send out it would probably be Reddox from the group. The obvious candidate to release is Jason Strudwick but I doubt the Oilers make that move.
Possible Callups
Jonathan Willis continues to lap the field with his Springfield numbers. It'll be interesting to see how the season ending numbers shake out but as Jonathan mentioned it looks like we can break down the "toughness of minutes" in Springfield into three distinct categories:
Heavy Lifting
- Tim Sestito: 1.867
- Liam Reddox: 1.853
- Tyler Spurgeon: 1.819
- Colin McDonald: 1.710
- Carl Corazzini: 1.674
- Bryan Lerg: 1.638
- Guillaume Lefebvre: 1.610
- Geoff Paukovich: 1.590
- Vyacheslav Trukhno: 1.575
Soft Parade
- Gilbert Brule: 1.536
- Derek Bekar: 1.536
- Ryan Potulny: 1.524
- Rob Schremp: 1.480
- Ryan O'Marra: 1.255
- Stephane Goulet: 1.190
I admit it's a completely random break between categories with a healthy dose of logic (checking line plus Reddox at the top, veteran AHLers plus smart college men and those with a two-way rep in column two along with a thug or two, and then the guys who need to kick out the jams offensively lining up (when possible) against the dregs.
So, I think we can reasonably argue that the pecking order for end-of-the-roster players goes Brule, MacIntyre, Reddox at the major league level (with a coin in the wishing well for Strudwick's walking papers) and then the callups would be players who played tough minutes and got results OR those who absolutely killed the soft parade.
Let's line up Jonathan's results with AHL EV scoring per game and see what we get:
- Potulny 37gp, 11-8-19 -4 (soft parade-.514/gm)
- Schremp 34gp, 2-12-14 -5 (soft parade-.412/gm)
- Reddox 13gp, 2-3-5 -2 (heavy lifting-.385/gm)
- Corazzini 44gp, 5-11-16 -5 (midlevel-.364/gm)
- Brule 20gp, 5-2-7 -2 (soft parade-.350/gm)
- Lerg 33gp, 6-5-11 -7 (midlevel-.333/gm)
- Trukhno 27gp, 1-8-9 -1 (mid-level-.333/gm)
- Bekar 39gp, 5-5-10 +1 (soft parade-.256/gm)
- Goulet 14gp, 1-2-3 +2 (soft parade-.214/gm)
- Spurgeon 44gp, 3-6-9 -1 (heavy lifting-.205/gm)
- McDonald 41gp, 3-4-7 -7 (heavy lifting-.171/gm)
- Lefevbre 43gp, 2-5-7 -5 (midlevel-.163/gm)
- Paukovich 27gp, 1-3-4 -8 (midlevel-.148gm)
- O'Marra 32gp, 1-3-4 -6 (soft parade-.125/gm)
- Sestito 35gp, 3-0-3 -8 (heavy lifting-.086/gm)
The callups are in bold. I'm going to be posting on this information in the next few days (the AHL break isn't here yet) but thought it would be a good idea to post some of the numbers now.
Among the tough minute men, Reddox and Sestito have already seen the NHL and Spurgeon has some skills that may make him useful. McDonald appears ready to join Deborah Harry on the Island of Lost Souls. O'Marra is already there and owns property.
Among the midsection there have been no recalls which makes sense (who orders porridge?) with Lerg probably a year away from getting his NHL shot (or more).
From the Doors collection we have two recalls (Potulny and Schremp) with no one else in sight.
So, ranking the AHL players who made Jonathan's list (and excluding Ryan Stone who I'll deal with later) the natural callups would be Potulny, Schremp, Reddox and Brule. Only Sestito stands out and as we know there was a specific reason (grit, aggression) for his recall.
As always seems to be the case, the phone rings when you're ready.

(linagliptin and metformin hydrochloride) Tablets, Film-Coated
Lactic acidosis is a rare, but serious, complication that can occur due to metformin accumulation. The risk increases with conditions such as renal impairment, sepsis, dehydration, excess alcohol intake, hepatic impairment, and acute congestive heart failure.
The onset is often subtle, accompanied only by nonspecific symptoms such as malaise, myalgias, respiratory distress, increasing somnolence, and nonspecific abdominal distress.
Laboratory abnormalities include low pH, increased anion gap, and elevated blood lactate.
If acidosis is suspected, JENTADUETO should be discontinued and the patient hospitalized immediately [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
JENTADUETO tablets contain 2 oral antihyperglycemic drugs used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus: linagliptin and metformin hydrochloride. 7
Linagliptin is an orally-active inhibitor of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) enzyme.
Linagliptin is described chemically as 1H-Purine-2,6-dione, 8-[(3R)-3-amino-1-piperidinyl]-7-(2-butyn-1-yl)-3,7-dihydro-3-methyl-1-[(4-methyl-2quinazolinyl)methyl]The empirical formula is C25H28N8O2 and the molecular weight is 472.54 g/mol. The structural formula is:
Linagliptin is a white to yellowish, not or only slightly hygroscopic solid substance. It is very slightly soluble in water (0.9 mg/mL). Linagliptin is soluble in methanol (ca. 60 mg/mL), sparingly soluble in ethanol (ca. 10 mg/mL), very slightly soluble in isopropanol ( < 1 mg/mL), and very slightly soluble in acetone (ca. 1 mg/mL).
Metformin Hydrochloride
Metformin hydrochloride (N,N-dimethylimidodicarbonimidic diamide hydrochloride) is not chemically or pharmacologically related to any other classes of oral antihyperglycemic agents. Metformin hydrochloride is a white to off-white crystalline compound with a molecular formula of C4H11N5•HCl and a molecular weight of 165.63. Metformin hydrochloride is freely soluble in water and is practically insoluble in acetone, ether, and chloroform. The pKa of metformin is 12.4. The pH of a 1% aqueous solution of metformin hydrochloride is 6.68. The structural formula is:
JENTADUETO is available for oral administration as tablets containing 2.5 mg linagliptin and 500 mg metformin hydrochloride (JENTADUETO 2.5 mg/500 mg), 850 mg metformin hydrochloride (JENTADUETO 2.5 mg/850 mg) or 1000 mg metformin hydrochloride (JENTADUETO 2.5 mg/1000 mg). Each film-coated tablet of JENTADUETO contains the following inactive ingredients: arginine, corn starch, copovidone, colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, propylene glycol, hypromellose, talc, yellow ferric oxide (2.5 mg/500 mg; 2.5 mg/850 mg) and/or red ferric oxide (2.5 mg/850 mg; 2.5 mg/1000 mg).

HARTSVILLE, SC (WMBF) – The mayor who called for flags to be at half-staff in honor of a high school football player who suddenly collapsed on the playing field, is now apologizing for his actions.
Hartsville Mayor Mel Pennington released a memo Wednesday night expressing his sincere regret for inadvertently "dishonoring those that have served this country, and especially those that have given their life to preserving what our flag stands for."
During an Oct. 5 Friday night football game, 18-year-old Ronald Rouse, a senior lineman for the Hartsville High School Red Foxes, called a timeout and suddenly collapsed on the field. Athletic trainers and doctors were able to revive him, but after just a few steps, Rouse collapsed again. The teen was taken to the hospital, but was pronounced dead at 8:45 p.m. that night.
In the wake of Rouse's untimely death, Mayor Pennington called for flags to be lowered to "honor this young man, his team, and this community."
Although Wednesday's memo does not say specifically that any one person or organization challenged Pennington's call to lower the flags, the mayor does note that he confided in a close friend, Mr. Leroy Brown, who has served two United States Presidents in the Executive Flight Crew of what then was Army One.
Pennington writes that he "expressed to [Brown] the concern from members in our armed services, retirees, and veterans regarding [Pennington's] decision to lower the flag to half-[staff]."
The memo alludes to the fact that some members of the military, veterans, or retirees may have felt dishonored by Pennington's action as most members of our armed services don't regard anyone other than the President of the United States as having the authority to order the flags be lowered, despite any state law or local custom that may be in place.
Pennington explains that he contacted Governor Haley's office to inquire if he in fact was in a position to make the call for flags to be at half-staff, but states, "The fact is the state laws that govern my ability to lower the flag really don't matter if there are some that find great offense to its use outside of the executive branch of service."
In closing of the memo, Pennington inks his deep love for Hartsville and his sincere apology for any misstep in judgment by writing, in part:
"I'm certainly the first to say that I'm not perfect. I have a great big heart that sometimes clouds my judgment. I want you to know that I had the best of intentions in my actions.
I love this city. I love the people of Hartsville, and I ask of your forgiveness."

"Easy to install, works fine, we use this shower to wash hair & clean the bath. We already had a fixed shower head installed so tend to use this to shower with. The shower with the bath tap would be ok as a main shower. The other review gave poor rating for the shower as the control knob came off. It had been replaced with new & occurred again. This happened to mine also but found it easy to fix by tightening the grub screw with the Allen key supplied."
"We are on our second u it now after the first broke after 5 months. The second has now broke after a month! The mixer that changes from bath tap to shower is a rubbish design and easily broken! It's now going to cost plumber fees to remove old unit but I won't be buying the same again!"

For Immediate Release

MINNEAPOLIS 09/29/2011--Allina Hospitals & Clinics has several million medical records in its electronic database, probably the largest in the Twin Cities.
But, it's one thing to have millions of records. It's another to be able to look for trends and use them in a way that actually improves patient care.
That's why Allina is proud to announce that all of its hospitals have met stringent Meaningful Use criteria established by the federal government.
Under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, hospitals can qualify for Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments when they adopt certified electronic health record (EHR) technology and use it to achieve "meaningful use" objectives.
For more about EHRs and meaningful use, go to healthit.hhs.gov.
"What this means to our patients is that they're receiving better care, and we're improving their outcomes by using our EHR, Excellian, in a meaningful way," said Penny Wheeler, MD, Allina Hospitals & Clinics chief clinical officer.
It took Allina staff four months of focusing on 19 objective measures and 15 quality measures for nine hospitals to attest that they meet stage one, year one of Meaningful Use. What this means is that providers and nurses are using Allina's electronic health record (EHR) in several meaningful ways, including reviewing current medications of a patient who is seen at an Allina hospital to ensure he or she is following their care plan; consistently reviewing and recording known allergies; discussing smoking status to assist with tobacco cessation; and providing optimal stroke care, from placing orders upon patient arrival to the emergency department to ordering the procedure to offering patient education.
In August, Buffalo Hospital, Cambridge Medical Center, Owatonna Hospital, Phillips Eye Institute and St. Francis Regional Medical Center attested with the federal government. Last week, Abbott Northwestern, Mercy, United and Unity hospitals attested.
Allina's two critical access hospitals, New Ulm Medical Center and River Falls Area Hospital (Wis.), have also completed the 90-day reporting period and have met the measures. These two hospitals will attest at a later date.
The attestation demonstrates to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that these hospitals have met the first set of requirements for the Electronic Health Record Incentive Program under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. For more about the Electronic Health Record Incentive Program, visit healthit.hhs.gov
Epic, Allina's vendor for its electronic health record (EHR), incorporated the government's certified specifications and defined standard workflows that are designed to achieve Meaningful Use. Allina's investment of nearly $320 million in 2002 to implement their EHR is paying off for patients through improved care and achieving better quality outcomes.
Starting Oct. 1 through Sept. 30, 2012, Allina will begin the second stage of the Meaningful Use program, in which they will need to meet the requirements for one full year.
Allina Hospitals & Clinics is a not-for-profit system of hospitals, clinics and other health care services, providing care throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Allina owns and operates 11 hospitals, more than 90 clinics and specialty care centers, and specialty medical services that provide hospice care, oxygen and home medical equipment, pharmacies, and emergency medical transportation services. Allina Hospitals & Clinics and the latest health information can be found at allina.com.

What can governments do to end poverty in their countries? Is a solution possible under capitalism?
Hello, I come from Argentina, and in my country, poverty is an issue we still can't eradicate, even though extreme poverty has been around for many decades now.
What still baffles me is the fact that although the Government gives away money to those with reduced incomes, poverty is as bad as always. Poor people can now (at least) fulfill their basic needs, but they have now become dependant on the Govt to give them the necessary resources for life (and politicians do not care about this, since this way they can keep on "buying" their votes with cash). They don't have jobs (and some do not even bother to find one) and most still live in slums under really poor conditions. So, it's obvious this solution is only benefitial in the short run... eventually the Government is going to run out of money and we'll still have the same number of people in the streets.
Moreover, I read yesterday how India is going to start doing the same thing, but I guess that probably won't go anywhere either.
Now, what do you think is the solution to stop this vicious circle of poverty? What is your Government doing about it?
Bear in mind that Latin America has just extreme poverty levels (not as much as Africa), but still much more than the First World countries. At least in my country there is a surprisingly high number of slums (check some photos in wikipedia: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_miseria )
In my opinion, emphasis should be made on giving labour to these people outside-the-system. But for that, we need to offer public AND quality education. Yet I'm conscious that a malnourished child is not going to be able to be properly educated, is he?. So what can we do to ensure that child will have a better future? It's difficult to come up with a solution, but we're in the 21st Century now, it's about time we stopped poverty.

Feb 2 2013: The Capitalism of the past several hundred years has had more benefit to the society than damage, although a lot of unneessary suffering was involved. But it looks like that paradigm is about finished, thanks to the all-too-human clevernesss of the "Capitalists": at present, inspired by Ayn Rand (in "Selfishness as a Virtue") and enable by their controlling position to "game the system", they have lately taken to abandoning the Capitalist idea of creating Industries, mass production, and great profits, having found out that capturing the government, expanding into financial "casino" swindles, guaranteed by the taxpayers is, ever so much more lucrative for them than stuffy old "Business". And in the process , they have even managed to take control of :"corporations" away from the supposed owners, the stockholders, and siphoned off the profits for themselves. And by hiring the very best lawyers, they have managed to stay out of jail , so far. But it is unsustainable, because it is not really creative. It is not really capitalism, either. I guess the best system would be a Swedish type mixture of Socialism and Capitalism, but as the Russian Yeltsin noted, every country doesn't necessarily "have enogh Swedes".

I'm writing this specifically for those that have asked me to, but perhaps it's something that that rest of you may find interesting as well.
Before jumping into things, there are a lot of factors one must consider. I know at one point we all did something that we shouldnââ¬â¢t have for clear skin, thus making it worse. I also know that at some point we all did something, and it didnââ¬â¢t produce any effect whatsoever. Overtime, Iââ¬â¢ve learned that itââ¬â¢s usually best to understand your specific situation before jumping into things or trying things that ââ¬Åwork so well for others,ââ¬? as it could save you lots of time and heartache.
* While NO ONE can tell you how severe your acne is regarding how you feel emotionally and mentally, how visually severe is it? Think about the affected areas, the types of acne, the frequency and the duration of your breakouts.
* How IMPORTANT is eliminating your acne?
* How important is the METHOD that you use to eliminate your acne?
* How MANY methods have you tried so far that has not worked?
* How MUCH money have you spent trying to eliminate your acne?
* How much ENERGY have you given into fighting this?
* How many times have your HOPES been smashed?
* How many DOCTORS did you go to looking for help?
* How OPEN are you to trying "new" things, even if those around you find it "illogical?"
* What LENGTHS are you willing to go to achieve clear skin? Irrational? Logical? Safe? Dangerous?
* How READY are you to do something that could require a few ââ¬Åsacrificesââ¬? on your part, in order to have clear skin?
OK, now those are questions that no one has to answer except to themselves. For those wondering, diet and the production of hormones are interrelated, thereââ¬â¢s NO disputing this. You can starve yourself if you wish to test this theory, but there are many other healthier and more satisfying ways to do so. While diet plays a role in steroid hormone production (i.e. androgens), there are other hormones that can also attribute to acne. Furthermore, there are other environmental and dietary influences that can also contribute to the production of acne that may have nothing to do with hormones. If you are currently borderline about how hormonally imbalanced you are or if your diet significantly affects you, then perhaps these questions may help:
1. How LONG have you had acne? 2, 5, 10 30, or more years?
2. Are you currently going through puberty?
3. Are you experiencing, what it called ââ¬Åadult acneââ¬??
4. Does any member in your family currently have acne? If so, think about their age.
5. Do you have SIGNS of another hormonal or health imbalance? Visual, Physicial, Dental, Stomach, Neurological, Weight, Menstrual, Fatigue, Allergies, Intolerances, etc
6. Do your siblings, parents, grandparents, etc have ANY health or hormonal problems?
7. More specifically, do they have Thyroid, Adrenal, Insulin or Cholesterol Disorders?
8. Have you ever gone to a SPECIALIST, such as an Endocrinologist, Allergist, or Naturopath to get a diagnosis?
9. If so, based on that diagnosis, were you able to achieve clear skin and eliminate your other symptoms, thanks to their dietary, supplement, or drug treatment regimen?
10. If not WHY? Did you not follow all of their recommendations or did they not offer you any new solutions?
11. If their solution was Accutane, did it work? How MANY courses did you need?
12. If their solution was dietary changes, did you follow ANY of them, let alone 100%?
13. Are you currently eating what YOU consider to be a ââ¬Åhealthyââ¬? diet?
14. Would you GIVE UP some foods that you consider to be healthy, if it would make you and your skin happy & healthy?
15. If not, what is PREVENTING you from doing so?
16. Is that more important than experiencing the FREEDOM of not having acne?
17. Is that more important than OVERCOMING your social, emotional, mental, and financial distress due to having acne?
18. How many MORE years, and possibly more symptoms must you have, before you are ready and WILLING to give it a try?
Just some "food for thought"...

couldn't have said it any better...believe what works for you...diet alone has eliminated my bad acne it was also the cause of my scars and worst acne...althogh i ate junk food as a teen the worst i had was mild/moderate...it was a so called healthy diet of soy, sprouts, grains, that destroyed my genetically beautiful skin and my health in just ONE year, I had also had only ONE cavity as a id and that diet ruined my flawless teeth....since stoppping that and cutting down on dairy and grains I never had a significant breakout since (knock on wood) and i don't use topicals. Listen to your bod, listen to your gut so to speak and ignore the hype : )

Following the news that X Factor also-rans Emblem3 landed a record deal with Simon Cowell's label, the TV and music mogul has now offered a similar deal to fellow X Factor finalists Fifth Harmony .
Like Emblem3, Cowell has signed the all-girl group to his Syco Music and L.A. Reid's Epic Records. In a statement to People magazine, Cowell says, "I knew from the girls' first performance at the judges' homes that we'd done the right thing [in putting them together in a group]. The chemistry between the girls both on stage and off is fantastic, and they are incredibly talented."
The group's debut album will be executive produced by Julian Bunetta , who also worked with X Factor alums One Direction and Leona Lewis. Aside from gender, Fifth Harmony has a lot in common with One Direction: they both came in third in their respective seasons, and they are both made up of individual contestants who were assembled into a group. Cowell is clearly hoping lightning will strike twice.

LA CENTER — Patrick Mayolo is too smart to be overconfident. It is not a done deal.
Still, he is determined.
"I'm not really looking into a backup right now," he said. "My goal is West Point."
Mayolo, a senior wrestler from La Center, has committed to compete for Army at the United States Military Academy. The coaches want him there. He has the grades. Mayolo has gone through the congressional nomination interview process, calling it a positive experience.
Mayolo would be a candidate for West Point even without wrestling. He carries a 3.99 grade-point average at La Center with an interest in science and physics. That he also is a standout wrestler — he has placed at state in his first three seasons with the Wildcats — just gives him more of a chance to be nominated.
"Going to West Point, it's an opportunity for a great education, great leadership training, and an honorable career," Mayolo said. "It's the best of both worlds for me. An honorable career and the ability to wrestle. I've always wanted to wrestle Division I."
Now, he is just waiting on his Letter of Assurance, which he hopes to receive in January. The letter means the candidate will likely be offered admission upon completion of the application.
Highly-ranked in state by Washington Wrestling Report
CLASS: 4A: Michael Nguyen, sr., 113, Evergreen; Matthew Nguyen, sr., 120, Evergreen; Tyler Davis, sr., 132, Union; Rosailio Contreras, sr., 138, Evergreen; Sam Berry, so., 138, Union; Dillon Thomas, sr., 170, Union; Ian Overton, sr. 285, Heritage.

CLASS 2A: None.

Mayolo said he is ready to accept the challenge, the duty, associated with the academy. Upon graduation, he must commit to five years of military service.
"I'm prepared to do that," he said.
Just being this close to a nomination to a service academy is quite a thrill for Patrick's parents, Shawn and Julie.
"He's got his mom's brains. I can't take credit for that," Shawn Mayolo said. "He's a good boy. Being considered to be going to West Point is quite an honor. We're very proud of him for sure. He's always been a really focused student. He has a love for learning."
Patrick's first trip to West Point came last school year when he tagged along with his older brother. Chris Mayolo went on an official visit to the academy. While Chris — state champion wrestler and two-time state academics champion — opted to take his wrestling and academic skills to Utah Valley University, Patrick was awed by the mystique of the Black Knights.
"I really got a feel for that environment, the campus, the cadets," Patrick said. "The campus was very impressive. I really liked the coaches. It was very motivating."
The coaches contacted Patrick last summer. Patrick began the application process in the fall, and the coaches asked him to commit to Army in November.
His coach at La Center believes Army made the right call with Patrick.
"He's a great leader. Even as an underclassman, he was one of the leaders on the team," La Center coach Jef Nevels said. "He was always that kid with the ability to lead."
And listen, too.
"He's probably the most coachable kid I've had, ever," Nevels continued. "He has a great knowledge about wrestling. I can tell him something, he picks it right up and knows exactly how to twist it to fit his style."
This season, Patrick Mayolo is trying to figure out how to get over the hurdle that is the state tournament.
While proud of his accomplishments in his first three years, he believes he could have done better.
"Every year I've gone to state with the goal to win it," Mayolo said. "Every year I've come up short. There were a few close matches that went down to the end. I know I'm there. It's just hard to break through to the top."
Mayolo finished fourth at 103 pounds as a freshman, then fifth as a sophomore at 112 pounds. Last year, another fifth-place finish, this time at 130. He is planning on wrestling at 138 pounds this season.
"I'm definitely looking for a state title," Mayolo said. "The key is pushing myself to go that extra mile. Extra workouts. Go to club practice after high school practice. To continuously improve."
Those traits are a part of Mayolo's foundation. Working hard is not a problem. It starts in the classroom.
Mayolo remains bummed by the A-minus he received his freshman year in a world history class.
"That one A-minus. So close to perfection," he lamented.
In wrestling, one tiny imperfection can be the difference between winning and losing. In academics, it is the difference between 4.0 and 3.99.
Mayolo, always the competitor, sought to make sure it was all A's the rest of his time at La Center.
It is the same philosophy he uses in his sport.
"Wrestling is about pride. It's hard to pick yourself up after a loss," Mayolo said. "But you can learn from it, stay motivated, and look for the next level."
Mayolo's next level just might lead him to West Point.
It is not a done deal, but Patrick Mayolo has done everything he can to put himself in such a solid position.

A member of the armed forces who is recovering from injuries in Afghanistan received a special homecoming surprise. He and his family are grateful for their community's outpouring of support.
FOX's Kari Lake has the story.
It was a poignant arrival for U.S. Army Lance Corporal Eduardo Fuentes . The soldier had just seen his newly remodeled house in Peoria, AZ as thanks for his service to our country.
"I feel amazing, I still cannot believe this," Fuentes said.
"You can pinch me maybe, I'm really happy," Edurado's wife Maria Fuentes said.
The soldier was injured when a grenade struck him in Afghanistan, shrapnel remains in his head and legs.
Now in appreciation, Building Homes for Heroes, has donated a home to the family. The recovering soldier surprised by the makeover and upgrades.
"Oh no I wasn't expecting this is beyond what I was thinking about. I was just thinking a small house for my small family. This is insane," Fuentes said.
The family says they grateful to local businesses that donated materials and worked on the home.

Winning a state championship as a team takes the hard work and commitment of all seven runners in a race and that's what makes the Hereford boys' feat of three straight Class 3A state titles a phenomenal achievement.
Hereford captured the boys 3A race Saturday morning at Hereford High by putting two of its runners in the top five and three others in the top 20.
All seven champions were seniors and they finished with 52 points, well ahead of runner-up Thomas Johnson (115).
Jon Luckin (3rd, 16:22.9) was followed closely by Julian Rivera (4, 16:28.9).
Kevin Payne (15, 17:15.1), Kevin Collins (16, 17:15.4) and Gabe Rivera (19, 17:17.6) also placed in the top 20.
Aaron Leininger (85, 18:29.9) and Mike Witman (132, 19:15.6) rounded out the championship squad.
Luckin and Rivera both had individual goals of winning the race, but hit obstacles along the way and Annapolis senior Harry Bullen (16:19.5) and Howard senior Danny Rau (16:20.2) led the field.
"Jon was flagging coming out of the maze and I told him, 'Jon, don't give up on it because you have a great kick' and he put himself right in there, Hereford coach Jason Bowman said.
"Julian ran a great race, a gutsy race," Bowman said. "His move was just a little bit too soon."
When Julian lost the lead in the maze, he knew he could rely on his team.
"I was in the lead coming up the dip and me and the dip don't get along so well," Rivera said. "I just wanted to go out and be in the race and I was there and I had a good shot, but it didn't end the way I wanted, but we still got our championship."
They got it because Payne, Collins and Gabe Rivera were consistent and near the front.
"That's what makes our team," Bowman said. "That's what wins races, our three, four and five runners. They are so tough and have run so well all year."
Luckin knew after he finished third and looked back and saw his teammates near the front the Bulls had done something historic.
"Our philosophy in team racing is we all go out and run the absolute best we can and the team results will come," Luckin said.
For the third straight year they produced a state championship.
"These guys made the program, they turned the program around," Bowman said. "That was a special group and they capitalized on it."
The Hereford girls are a special group and, like the boys, have been for three years, winning back-to-back state titles in 2010 and 2011.
But they struggled through adversity this season, with the loss to injury of elite junior runner Sara Carter, after a serious SUV accident before the season, and nagging injuries to junior Erin Causey, winner of the 2010 individual state championship race.
Causey ran last year's race with stomach pain and finished fifth — before she realized she was allergic to gluten.
That is now under control, but she also had issues with a hip flexor earlier this season.

Publication: The Day
A University of Connecticut report released today suggests that declining unemployment rates in the state are largely an illusion.
Titled "Where are the Jobs? Connecticut Struggles to Regain Its Economic Health," the quarterly Connecticut Center of Economic Analysis publication suggests that the state's reported unemployment rate of 7.5 percent in the third quarter would have been 10.7 percent had statisticians counted people who have given up on looking for work.
"The improving unemployment rate is in large measure an artifact of declining participation in the workforce," said the report authored by senior research fellow Peter E. Gunther and others.
The report put a damper on monthly numbers released last week that showed Connecticut gained 4,000 jobs in November and that the unemployment rate had ticked down three-tenths of a point to 7.6 percent. The monthly labor report also revealed that slightly more than half of the more than 120,000 jobs lost in Connecticut during the Great Recession had been recovered.
The UConn counterpoint to the labor report noted that "profound structural weaknesses in the state's economy" have led to nearly 65,000 working-age adults giving up on finding a job over the past three years.
"Connecticut has not created and sustained net new jobs in 25 years; current employment remains below the level of 1989," the report said. "The state's economic malaise (has) driven many adults out of the workforce."
The state's gross domestic product, in decline for the past two years, has contributed to the lack of state jobs, and unless more growth is seen few discouraged workers will be likely to re-enter the workforce, the report said.
"Employment opportunities in Connecticut are being filled by part-time incumbents converting to full-time employment," the report said. "Only very recently have significant numbers of discouraged workers begun to return to the labor force."
But brighter jobs prospects might ironically mean a higher unemployment rate over the near term, the report said, as discouraged workers begin to look for jobs again and therefore swell the numbers who will then be counted as unemployed.
The report said productivity gains in the 2 percent range mean the state often sees little to no job growth unless the economy grows at a faster clip.
"Connecticut's strength in manufacturing, which typically delivers the highest productivity growth, compounds the challenge of job creation," the report said.
The report said initiatives aimed at encouraging and retaining Connecticut businesses provide "critical working capital" to encourage new or expanded industries. But it noted that projections indicating the state budget may be thrown out of balance within two years reveals the extent of Connecticut's economic problems.
Prescriptions that the UConn economists suggested to improve economic conditions in the state included "unleashing the large trove of tax credits companies have earned but not expended to support private-sector capital projects." Another idea is to accelerate the pace of major capital projects already approved by the state legislature.
"Together, these strategies could generate tens of thousands of new jobs in Connecticut within two to four years," the report said.
