Twenty years after opening in 1993, we've revised, renovated and revisited our original restaurant with a whole new take on the American Bistro. You'll find a new menu with familiar favorites, and some brand new one's as well as a wine list expanded in both choice and geography. There's also a fresh new look from the bar to the dining room to the exterior. We look forward to having you as our guest soon.Continued

- Better than EVEROpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 9/19/2014Simply outstanding food... good service and simply better than ever.. always goodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of our favoritesCaAMillerVIPDined on 9/14/2014Eat here often. Love the new decor. The chef is great and the food is consistently excellent with exceptional specials. Drinks are unique and fun. Service is always the best with friendly servers. Very welcoming.Special Features:
- Best Walleye In TownAprilVIPDined on 9/13/2014This is my go to restaurant for Walleye and Shrimp & Grits - the latter is a dish I would never have ordered in my life but the waiter recommended it one night when Walleye was out of season. I wish they would open up on the East side of town. They go out of their way to accomodate gluten-free.Special Features:
- Saturday, September 13.KadieDined on 9/13/2014I had the walleye too much breading and it didn't need the sauce. A light sauté would have been enough. My dinner came almost cold, the potatoes were not creamy, firm and somewhat cold. I love walleye, this was not my favorite by far. We like all Cameron's restaurants and will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cameron Mitchell never disappointsHappyHazleysDined on 9/11/2014Each year my husband and I celebrate our wedding anniversary at on of the Cameron Mitchell restaurants. We were not sure if Cameron's American Bistro would be a good choice for a romantic evening, but in keeping with tradition we went. The atmosphere was great! The lighting, noise level and seating were perfect for our special evening. The servers were great to work with and knowledgeable. The menu was flexible which was perfect since I'm also expecting and have been very picky about food. Speaking of food, wow! We were blown away by everything that we ordered. We look forward returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent, as always.BlancheVIPDined on 9/11/2014This restaurant is one of our favorites in C-Bus for special occasions or just an evening out. The food and service are consistently very good. They have added to the ambiance with the remodeling they did earlier in the year. Parking can be a little tricky but that's true about most good restaurants. I would recommend this CM Restaurant to anyone seeking a good meal at fair prices.Special Features:
- Cameron's - very eager to go backOHdinerDined on 9/6/2014The food was great and the service excellent. It was smaller than I expected and a little noisier, but not so much so that it impacted our experience. I would consider taking children (they do offer a kid's menu) but would do so earlier in the evening. I would also go back just to sit at the bar, have dinner and watch the game.Special Features:
- Good choiceSwankyDined on 9/5/2014In town for Buckeye game and looking for a good meal. I was a little surprised at the location and the size when we arrived.......... However, once we were seated, I knew we were in for a good meal. The food was what you would expect from a name like "American Bistro". Both my wife and I were pleased with our meals and the service level.. I had the salmon and my wife the fillet. I am glad we took the opportunity to stop by. It is a nice value for the meal, you will be pleased you gave it an opportunity. If lived in town, we'd certainly go back.Special Features:
- special occasionBirthdayDined on 9/4/2014Enjoyed the food, the service. This is one of our goto places when we want to celebrate a special occasion.Special Features:
- Disappointinglroach65Dined on 9/2/2014Great ambiance and service. i felt the food was average at best and overpriced. My husband and i have been to several Cameron Mitchell restaurants and we've always had a great experience. Cameron's American Bistro was surprisingly disappointing. We won't be going back.Special Features:
- Casual yet upscale diningOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/31/2014This establishment meets perfectly what one would expect from the title American Bistro. It is casual yet the atmosphere, decor, and greeting staff are first class. Service was very friendly yet impeccable. The food was excellent, very nicely presented, done correctly, and greater in volume than the term bistro might suggest. Well done. Cameron Mitchell's original location still stands tall after many years and carries his flag well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FoodTruthDined on 8/30/2014This was my first time dining at Cameron's American Bistro, and I had a very good time. The service was really friendly and we were seated within 10 minutes of our arrival. I would recommend eating here to friends and family.Special Features:
- Anniversary dinnerYoungoldiesDined on 8/29/2014Celebrated 50th wedding anniversary with excellent food and freebie dessertsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very goodOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/29/2014Food was very good...fish was overcooked for two of the diners in our party...
- First ImpressionsRestaurantCriticDined on 8/23/2014First impressions can make or break you. While this saying is true in all aspects of life, it is especially notable in the restaurant industry. My boyfriend and I opted to try Cameron's for date night. Due to the late nature of the reservations, we opted to arrive early and have a drink at the bar. We were informed it would be a few minutes before we could be seated while multiple groups came in after us and were seated immediately. At this point our reservation was 15min ago. The hostess was not apologetic and informed us would be another 15min before we could be seated. After informing the GM that we would be leaving to dine elsewhere after finishing our drinks, a table magically appeared. The food and service once seated were okay.Special Features:
- a great place to come back to!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014We just moved back from Texas after an 11 year absence from Columbus. This was one of our favorite restaurants then and it was as good and enjoyable as we remembered!Special Features:
- Always a classicJen10Dined on 8/23/2014We are spoiled to have Cameron's in our neighborhood! The food is always wonderful and consistent. They have standbys on the menu that are always great, but they change up the other items periodically to keep you coming back. You can't go wrong with an evening out at Cameron's!Special Features:
- Great Renovation!BellyBienDined on 8/22/2014It had been at least 10 years since my last visit to Camerons and I was expecting the an aged version of the original restaurant. Not so! Everything is brand new - the tables, booths, lighting, flooring... and very well done. It's a central meeting location for family members so we will not wait 10 years to revisit. My salad was so flavorful - I can't wait to go back and have it again. Fried chicken was very tasty too. It was my mother's 79th birthday and our server couldn't believe we were too full to even take a free dessert to go - couldn't think about ever eating again! Should have taken her up on it though, the desserts sounded amazing...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousmorgenDined on 8/21/2014Always go to Cameron's for birthday dinners. Never have had a bad meal. Lamb was wonderful and red snapper was excellent. Will be back soon. Would never hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone. The staff are always friendly and service superb!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ChefDined on 8/18/2014We enjoyed the food. Our waitress Rachel was very good. She kept track of us but didn't hover. We got a reservation very quickly thank you. Please ask the chef to change the menu now and then. I used to go to the bar on Thursdays quite often the menu doesn't seem a lot different.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- amberismaDined on 8/17/2014The pork chop and clams dish was delicious. Sunday was 1/2 off bottles of wine as well, which was a night little surprise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice evening out!JARMDined on 8/16/2014Food was delicious, service exceptional. The only problem was the noise level. Restaurant was completely full, but extremely noisy.Special Features:
- Amazing anniversaryLoveJ2EDined on 8/16/2014The food was wonderful and the service made us feel special on our special day. It was a bit chilly in the bar area, though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- American Bistroteejay43235Dined on 8/16/2014It was good, but not terrific, wow factor. We prefer Cap City, Marcellas is EXCELLENT, and Martini's over this location. Server was excellent, very friendly, highly recommending items which was appreciated, and was celebrating our 37 anniversary. She provided a rose, a free desert, not expecting and was a nice, unexpected touch as we normally don't say we are celebrating anything. Selections, in our opinion was good, but limited if not wanting steaks, beef; seafood rather pricey. It was a good experience but prefer the menus at Cap City, Marcellas and Martinis overall.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014Excellent service and food. We had 3 in party and each had a different menu item and we could share reviews between each of us. ThanksSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Improved restaurantEmeliaDined on 8/13/2014The recent remodeling has improved the atmosphere and flow of the restaurant. Some of the tables are too close together to make conversation private. The food is very good, but the menu is standard.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- delicious but noisyJayneVIPDined on 8/12/2014Only one complaint-the fabulous shrimp bisque is no longer a staple on the menu. That and the roasted garlic are the main attractions for me.Special Features:
- Sophisticated and charmingTomtffDined on 8/10/2014Nice place, very nice. Has a warm energy around the whole meal
- Great Food but Cramped Booth!DiningduoDined on 8/9/2014Love Cameron's. We had not been in awhile. Really loud in the dining area and we requested a booth and it was so tight our chests were in our food! We are not huge people either. There needs to be a comfortable space between table and diner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spooned Corn BreadAnitamdVIPDined on 8/1/2014Even if it isn't the side that comes with your meal, ask for it on the side! My husband says it is as addictive as crack!!! The Walleye is always perfectly prepared and 2 of us had the Salmon special which was delicious paired with green beans and roasted potatoesSpecial Features:
- Attractive redo, high quality menuHaveforkwilltravelDined on 8/1/2014The newly redone Cameron's is much more attractive than it was, and the booths are more comfortable! It's quieter than before, if last Friday was any indication. I had heard a new chef was doing the old entrees differently and not as well, but four of us had a very good meal that included the old favorite walleye, which my friend who ordered it said was delicious. The salmon special was truly scrumptious. The person who ordered scallops wasn't quite as happy with their flavor, but that was the only complaint. Cameron's is a standout among Columbus restaurants, and we all agreed we'll be back.Special Features:
- Wonderful evening!!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/30/2014Our first time back since the restaurant was remodeled; very fresh looking and comfortable. The food and service were outstanding!! We were celebrating my mother's birthday and they made her feel very special. We have always loved this restaurant; will be back again soon.Special Features:
- First time diner.ClaremontsandDined on 7/29/2014I loved the food. Each entre had some interesting item that caught my interest and made the selection difficult. The staff was pleasant and service very good. The Bistro vegetable plate, and the Shrimp and Grits were the 2 dishes that my friend and I ordered. Andouille sausage mixed with the shrimp were a tasty combination. The sweet corn ravioli on the vegetable platter were exceptionally delicious. I will be returning to try some of the other entres.I would recommend this to a friend.
- For an enjoyable eveningmpmenjoysDined on 7/26/2014This is a gem of a restaurant. I have been here over many years and have never left disappointed or hungry. Wonderful deep menu that offers something for everyone. The chef also helped me on my last visit because of special diet needs.Special Features:
- DeliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/25/2014Wonderful food, and the carrot cake was ridiculously good!Special Features:
- Wonderful foodJayneVIPDined on 7/25/2014The food was great, the service superb, but still noisy. The noise level is high but the food is worth it.Special Features:
- Anniversary dinnerFalsoonDined on 7/23/2014AB is one of my wife's favorite dining places. (I was tempted to call it an "eatery" but it is more upscale than that, and deserves a classier name.) We choose to have our 37th wedding anniversary dinner there, and it was everything that we expected. The Teriyaki Salmon was excellent, although I thought the sauce a bit heavy for the fish. I never had oysters served as they were in the Oyster Bingo, and they were a treat. Our server was especially helpful and professional. He checked with us frequently and promptly, but not so much that he hovered over our conversation. We also appreciate that AB participants in the MidOhio Food Bank restaurant week. I would recommend AB for a romantic ambience with out-of-the-ordinary dining experience.Special Features:
- CynCynDined on 7/22/2014We have been going to Cameron's for years and it seems to get better and better. Restaurant Week took us there and we will definately return.Special Features:
- Overall OKrucn2020VIPDined on 7/22/2014We've been here and at other Cameron's places. We enjoy it, but there's always a 'surprise.' Either it's very loud so you can't talk or overpriced sandwiches. At this visit the server recommended the 'house Cameron wine' so we each ended up getting a couple of glasses (two white, two red). When the bill came I was absoultely shocked that the wine was $19/glass - I feel the server had an obligation to inform us of that when we ordered. If that doesn't bother you, ignore this review - as the rest of the experience was fine. Not sure if we'll be back.
- Enjoyable EveningItalianTedDined on 7/19/2014We were greeted promptly by staff upon our arrival. The Cameron's Walleye was excellent and we also enjoyed the frutti di marre (served with homemade pasta). The creme brulee was fabulous. Definitely will return for special occasions.Special Features:

Let's play one. Please.
Roy Halladay gave the Phils his third good start in three tries for the season last night, throwing a complete game as the Phils topped the Nats 3-2 to even the series at a game apiece.
The game was memorable for just how long Halladay pitched. He started the bottom of the ninth up 3-0 and we'll probably never know how long Manuel would have let him go. We do know the answer was a long, long time. We know he didn't pull him when the first two Nationals batters of the ninth got hits, bringing the tying run to the plate. Not when the Nats scored. Not on the third hit of the inning or the fourth. Not when Washington put the tying run on second or brought the winning run to the plate with just one out. Not when Halladay's pitch count topped 120.
So it went on and on and got a little nutty. Ended well, though, cause whether you think Manuel made the right decision or not, Halladay added his own exclamation point, striking out the last two batters he faced on six pitches to finish things off.
The Phils are 8-3 on the year after beating the Washington Nationals 3-2 last night.
Halladay got the start for the Phillies and threw a complete game, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks. One of the hits went for extra-bases, a double. Four of the hits he allowed came in the bottom of the ninth inning. He struck out nine and has a 1.23 ERA after three starts. He threw 123 pitches in the game. In 2010, Halladay threw 120 or more pitches in a start twice, throwing 121 on May 12 and 132 in his next start, which came on May 18. On the May 12 game he went just 6 1/3 innings. He's averaged 112 pitches per start through his first three of 2011.
He got Ian Desmond on a ground ball to third for the first out of the first. Rick Ankiel was next and he flew to center. Jayson Werth struck out looking to end the inning.
Adam LaRoche was the first batter in the bottom of the second and he singled into right. Laynce Nix followed with a ground ball to first. Howard went to Halladay covering and Nix took second with one down. Danny Espinosa bunted Nix to third with the second out and Halladay struck out Jerry Hairston to leave Nix stranded.
Halladay struck Ivan Rodriguez out for the first out in the third. Pitcher John Lannan grounded to short for the second, but Halladay walked Desmond and Desmond stole second before Ankiel walked as well. Werth grounded to first to leave both men stranded.
Halladay had a 1-0 lead when LaRoche started the fourth with another single. Nix fouled out to Ruiz and Espinosa hit into a double-play to turn Washington away.
Up 3-0, Halladay threw a 1-2-3 fifth.
He needed nine pitches to throw a 1-2-3 sixth.
LaRoche popped to first to start the seventh. Halladay got ahead of Nix 0-2, but hit him in the foot with a pitch. Espinosa popped a ball up in foul territory between third base and home plate and Halladay made a nice running play to get the second out. Hairston struck out swinging.
Washington went in order again in the eighth. Alex Cora hit for the pitcher Doug Slaten and grounded to short for the second out.
Halladay had thrown 101 pitches through eight innings and started the ninth with the Phils still up by three runs. Ankiel led off and doubled into the gap in right-center. Werth was next and singled to left, moving Ankiel to third. Halladay struck LaRoche out swinging 3-2 for the first out, but Nix lined a single into right that scored Ankiel and moved Werth to third. 3-1. Espinosa was next and he hit a ball in the hole between third and short. Rollins made a diving play to field the ball, but didn't have a play anywhere. Espinosa had an infield single, Werth scored and it was 3-2 with one out and men on first and second. Manuel left Halladay in to pitch to the lefty Stairs and Halladay struck him out on three pitches. Halladay struck Rodriguez out looking at an 0-2 pitch that was pretty, but outside, to end the game.
Glad it worked out, but that was crazy. For the record, I was hoping they would take him out after Ankiel and Werth both reached on hits to get things started.
The Phillies lineup against lefty John Lannan went (1) Victorino (2) Polanco (3) Rollins (4) Howard (5) Francisco (6) Ibanez (7) Ruiz (8) Valdez.
Victorino started the game with a double to left. Polanco was next and reached on an infield single with Victorino holding second. Rollins hit a ball to third and the Nats turned the double-play. Howard struck out to leave Victorino stranded at third.
The Phils went in order in the second.
Valdez led off the third and reached on an infield single. Halladay bunted him to second and Victorino followed that with a walk. It put men on first and second with one out for Polanco, but Polanco hit into a double-play to turn the Phils away.
Rollins started the fourth and hit a ball to short that Desmond didn't handle for an error. Howard was next and grounded out to third, but Desmond ran into Rollins as Rollins took second and Rollins was given third on defensive interference. With one out and Rollins on third, Francisco hit a 3-0 pitch hard to short. Rollins was running on contact and scored as the play went to first for the second out, putting the Phils up 1-0. Ibanez flew to center for the third out.
Washington has been terrible defensively in the series.
Ruiz started the fifth with a single and Valdez walked behind him. Halladay bunted and the pitcher Lannan threw to third to force Ruiz for the first out. Victorino flew to right for the second out, deep enough for Valdez to take third. With men on first and third and two down, Polanco singled into center, scoring Valdez to make it 2-0 with men on first and second. Rollins was next and he singled with a soft liner into right, loading the bases. Howard was hit by a pitch, forcing Halladay home. 3-0. Francisco flew to center for the third out.
Lannan's pitch hit Howard on the right wrist. He stayed in the game and X-rays after the game were negative. It's not clear if he can play today or not. Lannan broke Chase Utley's right hand in his major league debut, which came on July 26, 2007. He was ejected from that game when he hit the next batter (Howard) after breaking Utley's hand.
Ruiz walked with one out in the sixth, but Valdez hit into a double-play behind him.
Valdez hits into a lot of double-plays. He's on pace to hit into 44 this year, which might not even happen.
Polanco walked with two outs in the seventh. Rollins flew to center for the third out.
The Phillies went in order in the eighth.
They went in order in the ninth, too. With two outs and nobody on, Halladay hit for himself and popped to first. He had thrown 101 pitches in the game.
Victorino went 1-for-3 in the game with a double and a walk. The double was the only extra-base hit for the Phils.
Polanco 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI.
Rollins 1-for-4. Top three in the order go 4-for-10 with a pair of walks.
Howard 0-for-3 with an RBI and a strikeout. He has struck out just three times in his last 31 plate appearances and doesn't have more than one strikeout in a game in any of the last seven.
Francisco 0-for-4 with an RBI. He's 2-for-his-last-15. 200/294/333 since the end of the opening series of the year against the Astros.
Ibanez 0-for-4 and struck out three times. So much for his early season splits against lefties and his monster numbers against Lannan.
Ruiz 1-for-3 with a walk.
Valdez 1-for-3 with another walk. Two on the year.
Ex-Phil Jayson Werth was 1-for-4 in the game and struck out twice. 3-for-7 with a double, a home run and a walk in the series so far.
Cliff Lee (1-1, 7.84) faces righty Jordan Zimmerman (1-1, 3.18) tonight in game three of the series. Lee has made two starts on the year, pitching pretty well against the Astros in the second game of the year but getting hit hard by the Braves in his last start. Zimmerman has allowed two earned runs in each of his two outings. He went six innings against the Braves in his first start of the year and 5 1/3 against the Mets in his most recent.
Rich Dubee sounds less convinced than Blanton that Blanton's troubles are all about pitching out of the stretch.

SHAWANO, WI (WTAQ) - A Shawano foundry is laying off 90 employees.
But officials at Arrowcast say the cut of nearly 20 percent of its workforce may only be temporary.
For the past two and a half years, Dane Pecanas has worked in the shipping department at Aarrowcast. Wednesday will be his last day.
"I know some of the other people are pretty upset. I mean a lot of people just getting started, and they're going to get laid off," Pecanas told FOX 11.
Aarrowcast makes iron cast frames, axles, and suspension parts for agriculture and military customers. Back in June, the company announced a $7 million expansion project.
Senior vice president and chief financial officer Jon Moreau says orders have dropped off for November and December.
"A lot of customers are kind of taking a wait and see attitude. That's what we're hearing. See what happens with the election. There's a lot of concern about what's going to happen with the tax laws," Moreau told FOX 11.
Moreau hopes the layoffs are temporary.
"Nothing's for sure, we don't know that at this point in time, but we believe it's going to bounce back. What we hear from our customers is we'll bounce back in early 2013," said Moreau.
Moreau says those plans are moving forward to meet orders in the coming year and may lead to recalling workers as well.

KINGSTON — The beginning of Saturday's scrimmage exhibited the chicken-or-the-egg conundrum the up-tempo Rhode Island offense faces this season.
The Rams want to run their zone-read attack at a fast pace, but they can't play fast if they aren't make plays. However, the Rams make plays when they are moving quickly and keeping the defense off-balance.
KINGSTON — Elijah Saintfleur has plenty of time to earn a starting spot on the Rhode Island offense, but he isn't wasting any of it.
The red-shirt freshman tight end from West Warwick was one of the stars of the off-season training program who also had a superb spring game. Saintfleur impressed coach Joe Trainer to the point that Saintfleur started Saturday's first scrimmage of camp playing with the first unit.
When the 2013 Rhode Island Lifeguard Tournament came to a close on Saturday evening at East Matunuck, as has been nearly as much of a tradition as the tournament itself since the turn of the century, the lifeguards of Narragansett Town Beach swept the night's events to cap off yet another tournament championship.
KINGSTON — Rhode Island football coach Joe Trainer isn't a poker player, but when he was trying to come up with a theme for the 2013 campaign following an embarrassing, winless 2012 season, he was immediately drawn to poker.
"Every year we try to come up with a mantra," Trainer said after Saturday's first scrimmage of training camp. "It's human nature when you're not having success – trying to make it a monetary analysis – you cash out. In society you don't double down when you're not having success.
Conditions could not have been better for the Narrow River ESA SUP Race Series No. 2, held this past Sunday at Narrow River.
Racers from as far away as Utah competed, as well as some very fast Bay Staters, who travelled to challenge the local competitors.
Race Director Jason Considine of Narrow River Kayak plotted out an entirely new course for this 4.5-mile race, which directed competitors north up the river, into a small inlet, and then back out again.
For the past 26 years Joel Tuoni has spent his time coaching girls basketball and softball at various high schools throughout the state.
He has been in charge of both programs at South Kingstown High School – his alma mater as a graduate of the class of 1982 – for the last decade but as Tuoni said by phone Tuesday morning, "life's about changes."
Tuoni will not be returning to coach the Rebels this season as he is planning to move to Florida to finish up his bachelor's degree.
CHARLESTOWN — Despite protests from town residents, the Charlestown Town Council decided to continue the Copar Quarries and Westerly Granite Company (WGC) hearing until the council's September meeting.
On Tuesday's night's council agenda was the discussion and potential action of a resolution that would ask the Rhode Island Attorney General to look into whether WGC is in compliance with state laws.
NARRAGANSETT - The South County museum recently celebrated its 80th anniversary of preserving the history and heritage of rural and coastal life in Southern Rhode Island.
Founded in 1933, South County Museum (SCM) was not always at its present location within Canonchet Farm. The museum was originally housed in a barn in Wickford and then moved to its current location in 1985.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Public Housing Capital Fund Program recently awarded a total of $11.7 million in federal funding to 25 Rhode Island cities and towns.
According to U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, public housing agencies that will receive funding include Bristol, Burrillville, Central Falls, Coventry, Cranston, Cumberland, East Greenwich, East Providence, Jamestown, Johnston, Lincoln, Narragansett, Newport, North Providence, Pawtucket, Portsmouth, Providence, Smithfield, South Kingstown, Tiverton, Warren, Warwick, West Warwick, Westerly and Woonsocket.
Grab a friend and get out and explore.
That's the message the Rhode Island Land Trust Council is spreading through its Land Trust Days activities this year.
With more than 60 guided walks, events, and visits to scenic farms and green spaces, put on by Rhode Island's 47 land trusts, there are ample opportunities to enjoy nature.
Rupert Friday, executive director of the Rhode Island Land Trust Council, said this year's list of events is even better than last year's.

If you think you've got problems, maybe you should be running a fast-food company these days. The challenges faced by CEOs and brand owners and franchisees in the quick-serve-restaurant (QSR) business begin with disinterested customers, stretch to striking workers, include problems with products and positioning, and extend to increasingly formidable competition, along with increasing pressure from legislation.Read More »
Labor Shortages Loom, but Are Already Crimping Some Industries
Don't look now, CEOs, but labor shortages may already be knocking at your door. Just two years after chronic unemployment headlined the U.S. economy, the slow recovery and underlying demographic shifts are reestablishing tight supplies and even acute unmet needs for workers in some industries.Read More »
Factoryless Goods Producers Will Maintain Non-Manufacturer Status for Now
The only true way to track the re-growth of U.S. manufacturing is to use reliable statistics about the output of America's factories and the people they employ. That reality was behind the Obama administration's recent decision to shelve a controversial proposal to reclassify 'factoryless' goods producers as U.S. manufacturers despite the positive sheen it would have placed on the nation's manufacturing efforts.Read More »

More CEOs Are Indulging Their Fun Side With Sports Team Ownership
One of the great things for business chiefs about acquiring wealth is having the resources to indulge their fantasies. And just like former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who just bought the Los Angeles Clippers, owning a professional sports team is a very common fantasy. So entrepreneurs and former CEOs keep buying them.Read More »

CEO Pay May Not Be as Big an Issue as it's Built Up to Be
It's clear that the zeitgeist has turned against outsized CEO compensation. But corporate boards of directors, and even rank-and-file shareholders, aren't necessarily falling into the opposite camp these days when hot-button issues such as golden parachutes or exorbitant pay for business chiefs reach them for a vote. This is a perhaps-unexpected reality that some CEOs might be able to take to the bank.Read More »
'Outrageous' CEO Behavior Grows, Mirroring Society

"Things are cheap, so I should get in there now and buy. The fallacy of that is, we don't really know where the bottom is and we don't really know where the top is," says University of Wisconsin financial specialist Michael Collins.
Collins says there are a couple of strategies for investing in the stock market. One, is trying to time it so you buy low and sell high.
"Market timing is always, at best, a gamble. Sometimes you'll get it right and sometimes you'll get it wrong."
And, although there's certainly no sure chance of making money on every transaction, Collins says there's another strategy that's proven more profitable than not over time. It's called dollar cost averaging.
"Every paycheck you're going to invest, say $300 in the market. You're going to invest it at whatever the price is. So, over the course of a year it might be up and you don't get very much, and other times the price is down and you get to buy more shares with that same amount of money."
So, you don't worry about the price of the stock, you just keep investing that same amount at the same time, and, history has shown you'll end up on top more often than not.
Collins suggests treating dollar cost averaging like any other monthly payment.
But, remember, this is just a strategy, not a guarantee. There's always risk in the stock market.
"It's a gamble, and so why not just dollar cost average and take the average price over time. And not try to get yourself in a bind trying to time the market. It's a game you'll lose, at best, as often as you gain."

Even with many football games postponed by Thursday night's thunderstorms – some of which will be made up Monday – there were plenty of big plays and big games this week in high school football.
One coach hit a big milestone and the team with the area's best record – 4-0 – is already lapping last season's points total.
Here's a look at those and some other numbers that stood out in Week 2 of Baltimore high school football:
MIAA A Conference teams unbeaten in non-league play – McDonogh (4-0) and Spalding (3-0)
Games canceled after Thursday's storms: North Harford at Einstein and Mount St. Joseph at Landon
Touchdown passes of more than 80 yards in the Westminster-Linganore game – three by Linganore, which won 41-20
4th and 12
When Milford Mill's Jamaal Morant broke an 82-yard touchdown run with 25 seconds left to beat Hereford, 21-17
Touchdown runs by McDonogh's Alex Hurdle in a 35-0 win over Penn Charter
Touchdowns scored by Lewis' Raquan Chavis – four passing, one receiving – in a 32-8 win over Forest Park
Howard County football games postponed to Monday by Thursday night's thunderstorms – the whole county slate
Passing touchdowns for C. Milton Wright's Omar Walker in two games – two to his twin brother Osiah

The community thinks...
Not a wanna-be off-road vehicle! by Lisa from Sparta on 08/14/2007. Trim: 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4X4 AT, Owned 1 year.
Pros: I love just about everything......stop on a dime with 9 cents change! Great acceleration. Better than expected mileage for such a heavy vehicle. May have premium fuel reccomendation, but I run regular with NO noticeable consequences. avg 21 mpg and I drive it hard. Great interior room and love the washability inside. I live in the mountains....mud, snow, ice, rain, or sleet have never stopped me. AMAZING off road too!!! Factory lockers are a nice option. After putting "real" tires on it, I have yet to get stuck.
Cons: I have the black cherry....pretty color but paint quality for 07 Toyotas has suffered (I have a corolla and a camry) The paint is very fragile on all of them. Also, I don't like not being to make changes to lighting and alarm functions without "dealer" permission. They guard these codes like national security secrets. Seats could be a little more user friendly. Needs more storage compartments (ie: console or other box with a lid) Factory tire choice is a joke especially for a "serious " off road vehicle.
Overall review: For an off the lot purchase, I am impressed with the research, thought and equipment Toyota put into the FJ. I traded my Tahoe for this one. I have owned Jeeps, 4runner, Nissan, both factory and modified, and for the money and what you get.....oh what a feeling!

skybar WP1000-000-000 THREE Wine Preservation System, Espresso Wood Finish
Chill. Pour. Preserve.
The skybar THREE wine system is both luxury art form and innovative wine accessory. Balancing form and function, this is the first home wine accessory that chills, pours, and preserves from a single system. And, with three individual wine chambers, you can offer a variety of wines to your guests with ease. Every glass is smoothly poured at its ideal temperature, accentuating each varietal's unique bouquet and flavor profile.
Wine connoisseurs agree that serving fine wine at its optimal temperature showcases each varietal's natural bouquet and flavor profile, so the 9 preset temperatures take the guesswork out of wine chilling with the skybox system. The three individually chilled wine chambers allow you and your guests to enjoy 3 different wines at once, each served at its ideal temperature. If you like your Chardonnay a bit colder or Pinot Noir warmer, manual temperature controls allow you to set the wine chamber temperature to your personal preference. All of this is controlled with the cool-to-the-touch metal dial located on top of the skybox.
With the press of a button, your wine is poured, one glass at a time. No need to remove the bottle or re-cork, the skybar preserves up to three bottles for 10 days, so you can enjoy your varietals without worry. The patented vacuum technology preserves open bottles of wine by removing the oxygen that would otherwise oxidize and ruin the wine. Oxidation is slowed and your wine is preserved not only at the optimal temperature, but at it's peak bouquet and flavor profile.
The skybox is as functional as it is beautiful; an elegant accent piece with an innovative blend of form and function suits a variety of lifestyles. You can place it virtually anywhere, from the living room to the dining room, from the kitchen to the bar. With its metropolitan design, the skybar wine system is the ultimate accessory for the design-conscious host and hostess, certain to ignite conversation and incite admiration. It will be the smash hit at every wine tasting, dinner party, wedding, or even simply a night in you have.
- Chill, Pour, and Preserve your Wine

This gives them a sense of empowerment -- they are not alone.
This year's walk may possibly be the most visually powerful walk we've done yet.

The Great Bend High School boys' soccer team fell short of its goal to win the Western Athletic Conference title on Monday.
CLAFLIN - In a game that saw a combined 122 points light up the scoreboard, it was fitting that a defensive play be the difference maker.

Despite the torrential rain and floods in Cumbria, Kendal Mountain Festival 2009 was a big success. UKClimbing will have a report later this week but first the winners of the two competitions, books and films.
Boardman Tasker winner Steve House being interviewed by UKC editor Jack Geldard at Kendal 2009
© Alan James, Nov 2009
The winner of the Boardman-Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature was announced by chief judge, Phil Bartlett on Friday 20th November and was won by Steve House for Beyond The Mountain.
Phil said,
"There is one book in particular here which we all felt as soon as we finished it, we would want to read again. Not because it was hard to read, but because of the depth. It is a book we feel privileged to have read, and proud to have been asked to judge. And those seem to us good reasons to declare it the winner.
We think it is an exceptional book.
Entirely worthy to stand alongside Pete and Joe's.
It is therefore with the greatest of pleasure that I announce that the winner of the Boardman Tasker prize for mountain literature 2009 is Beyond the Mountain by Steve House."
This year the judges, Leo Dickinson, Jim Curran, Zoe Hart, and John Innerdale had to watch over 60 films in the four days prior to the Festival.
The GRAND PRIZE presented by Berghaus was won by First Ascent � Alone On The Wall by Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen. The subject is the phenomenal American climber Alex Honnold soloing Zion's Moonlight Buttress (V 5.12d; 1,200 feet) and Half Dome's Regular Northwest Face in Yosemite.

Police probe death in Springfield Hospital parking lotStaff Report | February 08,2013SPRINGFIELD – Springfield police are investigating the death of a 75-year-old Springfield man who was found dead in his car outside the emergency room at Springfield Hospital on Thursday morning.
Police say Ernest Thomas Hemmings was discovered by hospital personnel, who noticed him in his car outside the emergency room.
Springfield Police Chief Douglas Johnston said that Hemmings' death does not appear suspicious at this time, but police were conducting an investigation into his death. The chief said he did not know how long Hemmings had been parked at the hospital, or whether Hemmings had been at the hospital.

Publication: The Day
Jamie Anderson, with beauty queen looks and an infectious smile, is about to become one of the most recognizable faces in the world.
That's what happens when you become an Olympic champion, a feat the 23-year-old accomplished early Sunday morning when she soared to Olympic gold in the women's slopestyle competition at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games in Krasnaya Polyana, Russia.
But here's something you probably don't know about Anderson, who was born and raised in Lake Tahoe, Calif. - her mom, Lauren, grew up in the Oakdale section of Montville, and her grandparents - Pete and Peggy Plourde - still reside on Old Colchester Road.
"We couldn't get it live," Peggy said Sunday, "but our oldest daughter (Ann) lives in Vermont and was able to watch it on a Canadian station at 5 a.m. I was half asleep when she called, but my reaction was 'Great ... this is so wonderful.' I know it means so much to Jamie. She's put in a lot of work and really stuck to her guns."
Anderson, one of eight children, had her own cheering section in Russia that included six of her siblings and her mother, Lauren, a 1972 St. Bernard High School graduate who left Lake Tahoe last year following a divorce and now works on an alpaca farm in Hartland, Vt.
Pete Plourde, an accomplished educator, administrator and football coach for 34 years at two high schools - St. Bernard and Montville (he retired in 1993) - spoke with Lauren on Sunday afternoon.
"(Lauren) was just so excited," said Pete, now 86 and active raising and showing Labrador retrievers. "She said everyone was a little scared and nervous going into the last run, but Jamie really pulled it off. She's been the top female snowboarder in the world the last couple of years, so I'm glad she finally got the chance to compete in the Olympics."
Anderson has won multiple world championships since she was 15, but this was the first year slopestyle, her speciality, was included in the Olympic freestyle skiing program. Slopestyle courses feature rails and a variety of jumps that allow athletes to combine big air and technical tricks into each run. They are judged on execution, difficulty of their lines, acrobatic moves in the air, landings and the use of the course.
Anderson was second after the first run on Sunday, but scored 95.25 points on her final run to take the gold medal away from Finland's Enni Rukajarvi. Great Britain's Jenny Jones won the bronze.
Peggy Plourde said Jamie plans to fly to New York in the next few days, where she will likely make some national television appearances.
And for those who remember Pete Plourde during his days as a football coach and athletic director and are surprised at his family's connection to skiing, you shouldn't be.
Pete and Peggy were both raised in Vermont - Pete in Bennington and Peggy in nearby Northfield. And when Pete wasn't playing football at Bennington High (he was an all-state halfback on an undefeated team in 1946), he skied.
"I did some jumping," he added, "and had a lot of fun on the slopes as a youngster in Vermont."
Even after moving to Connecticut in 1960 when Pete became the first football coach in St. Bernard history, Peggy said the family used to take trips north during the winter.
"That's how Lauren learned to ski," Peggy said. "We'd take her to courses in Northfield, Stowe and Bennington and a few smaller places outside Bennington."
Lauren took a trip west with a friend after graduating from Central Connecticut in 1976. That's where she met Joey Anderson and, after they married, relocated to South Lake Tahoe, where Lauren homeschooled her children.
"They would go up to the slopes every day," Pete said. "They would be on the snowboard all day long, then come home and do school lessons in the evening."
Added Peggy, "I don't know how Lauren did it, but she did, and when she would bring the kids east to compete in places like New Hampshire and Maine, we would always find ways to meet up with them."
The Plourdes aren't sure when they'll get to see their granddaughter's gold medal, but were looking forward to watching the medal ceremony on television Sunday night.
"It's going to be a terrific moment for us," Pete said.

User Reviews
The community thinks...
C-YA in a KIA by TNT Delivery guy in Phoenix on 08/14/2009. Trim: 2006 Kia Spectra5 Base, Owned 3 years.
Pros: I bought it new in March 06. I now have 175,342 miles on it. It handles very well. As long as the regular maintenance (oil and lube) is done regularly, the car just keeps running. I recently replaced the radiator fan and the condersor fan considering the miles. They were making funny noises and I did not want to take a chance. 80 dollars at the auto recycler place.
Cons: I go through brakes very often. Hoses and belts are hard to find at the local auto parts store.
Overall review: I owned a PT Cruiser before. It was very problematic and Chrysler did not bother to listen to the problems I was having. I will NEVER buy a Chrysler product EVER again. KIA sold me on the Spectra5.

Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Hardcover Classics)by Jane Austen
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From A to Z, the Penguin Drop Caps series collects 26 unique hardcovers—featuring cover art by type superstar Jessica Hische It all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of twenty-six collectible and gift-worthy hardcover editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet by superstar type designer Jessica Hische, whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany & Co. to Wes Anderson's film Moonrise Kingdom to Penguin's own bestsellers Committed and Rules of Civility. A collaboration between Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, the series design encompasses foil-stamped paper-over-board cases in a rainbow-hued spectrum across all twenty-six book spines and a decorative stain on all three paper edges. Penguin Drop Caps debuts with an "A" for Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, a "B" for Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, and a "C" for Willa Cather's My Ántonia, and continues with more classics from Penguin.
A is for Austen. Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austen's beloved classic Pride and Prejudice. Elizabeth's early determination to dislike Mr. Darcy is a prejudice only matched by the folly of his arrogant pride. Their first impressions give way to true feelings in a comedy profoundly concerned with happiness and how it might be achieved.
The Art Cannot be Damaged Edition of Jane Austen's Classic, Pride and Prejudice, the complete classic text wrapped with new flavor. An astonishingly relevant 200-year-old romantic novel challenging the societal barriers of pride and prejudice and the veracity of love, featuring a smart foreword by acclaimed New York City poet and writer, Mike Tyler, as well as a refreshingly modern and accessible design.
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships,gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.
With splendid packaging created by acclaimed designer Coralie Bickford-Smith (Great Books for Boys series), Penguin Classics presents beautiful hardcover editions of the world's favorite books. Featuring gorgeous patterns stamped on linen cases, colored endpapers, and ribbon markers, these are rich and sumptuous volumes that continue what will be one of the most coveted sets of books ever produced.
About the Author
Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817.
As a girl Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.

Log in to share your thoughts Re: I bought a box of pregnancy tests and the label says they detect hCG levels in the urine. What is HCG? The abbreviation stands for "human chorionic gonadotropin," a hormone associated with pregnancy. After conception, the placenta produces hCG, which in turn prompts the release of estrogen and progesterone, more hormones needed to sustain pregnancy. HCG is excreted in urine, so pee-on-a-stick tests are designed to detect its presence. If any is sensed, you'll get a positive result. HCG levels start out at zero and increase as the embryo grows. So if you test very soon after you conceive, you may get a negative test result or a very faint positive one. After a few days, if the pregnancy is viable, the results will be more definitive. A blood test can reveal the exact level of hCG in your system as early as 6 to 8 days after ovulation. Paula Kashtan Q&A: What is HCG?

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common of the pediatric neuropsychiatric disorders. With ADHD diagnoses in 9% of U.S. children and adolescents 6–17 years of age (1) and more than 2.7 million children receiving ADHD pharmacotherapy each year (2), this is a significant public health issue. Clinicians, patients, parents, and the general public are all interested in the prevalence and safety of ADHD medications. Some are concerned with excessive use, while others worry about underutilization of pharmacotherapy when clearly warranted, and all parties want a better understanding of the safety of these agents. Three articles in this issue of the Journal provide important data on ADHD medications; one describes U.S. rates of stimulant prescriptions, and two address pediatric and adult cardiovascular safety.
Zuvekas and Vitiello (3), using a nationally representative database, the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, analyzed extensive data on stimulant use from 1996 to 2008 in children under age 19. A steady annual increase in the number treated with stimulants was reported, with 2.9% of all U.S. children and adolescents treated with stimulants in 1996, rising to 3.5% in 2008 (Figure 1). Rates remained relatively steady over the study period for children ages 6–12, while the numbers of adolescents (ages 13–18), who as a group had been more likely to be underdiagnosed and less likely to be treated, expanded significantly. In 2008, the rates of stimulant treatment nearly converged for children and adolescents, at 5.1% for children ages 6–12 and 4.9% for adolescents. The most controversial age group, preschoolers (up to age 5), saw a decrease in rates of stimulant treatment, from 0.3% in 1996 to 0.1% in 2008. This drop may have been at least in part a response to the Preschool ADHD Treatment Study (PATS) published in 2006, which demonstrated that while methylphenidate was effective in the treatment of preschoolers with ADHD, its tolerability and efficacy were less than seen in older children.
Stimulant Use in the U.S. Pediatric Population, by Age Group
In another article in this issue, Schelleman et al. (4) examine the cardiovascular safety of methylphenidate in adults. This is one of three articles assessing ADHD drugs and serious cardiovascular events released in rapid succession in three different medical journals; it joins an article by Cooper et al. published in the New England Journal of Medicine (5) and one by Schelleman et al. in Pediatrics (6). In their article in this issue, Schelleman and colleagues report on their analysis of a database that included 43,999 new methylphenidate users and 175,955 nonusers, all adults. While the authors found no statistically significant association of methylphenidate use with stroke, myocardial infarction, or a composite endpoint of stroke or myocardial infarction, they observed 1.8 times the risk of ventricular arrhythmia or sudden death and 1.7 times the risk of all-cause death among methylphenidate users compared with nonusers. The authors note, however, that the inverse association with dose observed in the study may argue against a causal association. In Pediatrics, Schelleman et al. reported that the rate of cardiovascular events in 241,417 children exposed to ADHD pharmacotherapy was low and in general no higher than in unexposed comparison children (6). The number of events was so low overall, however, that the ability to identify relative increases in rate is limited. The Cooper et al. study reported in the New England Journal of Medicine included 1,200,438 children and young adults 2–24 years of age, with 2,579,104 person-years of follow-up, which included 373,667 person-years of ADHD pharmacotherapy. The authors concluded that there was no increased risk for serious cardiovascular events for current users of ADHD medications.
While the studies described above looked at aggregate data from large databases, the Multimodal Treatment Study of Children With ADHD (MTA) is a clinical trial that provides a much smaller but detailed data set regarding cardiovascular issues. In the article by Vitiello et al. in this issue (7), the authors assess whether stimulant pharmacotherapy in MTA participants over a 10-year period was associated with increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, or blood pressures within the prehypertension or hypertension ranges. The MTA study randomly assigned 579 children 7–9 years of age to 14 months of behavioral therapy, pharmacotherapy (generally methylphenidate), the combination of the two, or usual community treatment, followed by several years of naturalistic treatment. The investigators did not identify a treatment effect on either systolic or diastolic blood pressure, although at the end of 14 months of initial study treatment, the children who received stimulants had higher heart rates (84.2 bpm [SD=12.4] for medication alone and 84.6 bpm [SD=12.2] for medication plus behavioral therapy) than those treated with behavioral therapy alone (79.1 bpm [SD=12.0]). Greater stimulant exposure was correlated with a higher heart rate if therapy was continued, but the authors did not identify a risk for prehypertension or hypertension with stimulant treatment over the 10 years of the study. While useful, these MTA analyses have several limitations, including the exclusion of children with identified cardiovascular disease, a lack of standardization of blood pressure and pulse measurements, attrition over time, and the fact that abnormal blood pressure values were not confirmed over three separate assessments as would be required in order to make a diagnosis of prehypertension or hypertension.
In light of the controversies surrounding the increase in the number of children, adolescents, and adults being diagnosed with ADHD, the broad use of stimulant medications in these patients, and cardiovascular concerns about such medications, these articles address topics of community interest and clinical significance. For many, the usage data will be seen as reassuring, with pharmacotherapy rates well below epidemiological sample rates of ADHD. Others will continue to struggle with acceptance of both the rate of diagnosis of ADHD and the rate of stimulant use. The articles in this issue on cardiovascular safety, coupled with the recent articles in Pediatrics and the New England Journal of Medicine, are generally reassuring and demonstrate movement in the right direction, with systematic retrospective analyses better informing us of issues related to cardiovascular safety with ADHD pharmacotherapy. While gaps persist in the methodical and comprehensive assessments of the safety of ADHD medications, these studies add valuable information to our already large repository of safety and efficacy data of ADHD pharmacotherapies and better inform the risk-benefit analysis of their use.
Perhaps the massive resources currently being devoted to establishing robust electronic health records nationally will result in larger and more accessible databases, containing detailed and discrete data elements that will allow us to improve our identification and understanding of rare but serious adverse effects and better address these questions of public health significance.

Loads of poop!!!!
For a game so full of poop, this is great.

Pretty good
The game feels like an old gameboy color game, but of course, has better graphics, probably just below NES graphics standards.
