Central retinal artery occlusion occurs when the central retinal artery becomes blocked, usually due to an embolus. It causes sudden, painless, unilateral, and usually severe vision loss. Diagnosis is by history and characteristic retinal findings on funduscopy. Decreasing intraocular pressure can be done within the first 24 h of occlusion to attempt to dislodge the embolus. If patients present within the first few hours of occlusion, some centers catheterize the carotid artery and selectively inject thrombolytic drugs.
Retinal artery occlusion may be due to embolism or thrombosis.
Emboli may come from any of the following:
Thrombosis is a less common cause of retinal artery occlusion but can be seen with systemic vasculitis such as SLE and giant cell arteritis.
Giant cell arteritis (see Giant Cell Arteritis) is an important cause of arterial occlusion that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment.
Occlusion can affect a branch of the retinal artery as well as the central retinal artery.
Neovascularization (abnormal new vessel formation) of the retina or iris (rubeosis iridis) with secondary (neovascular) glaucoma occurs in about 20% of patients within weeks to months after occlusion. Vitreous hemorrhage may result from retinal neovascularization.
Retinal artery occlusion causes sudden, painless, severe vision loss or visual field defect, usually unilaterally.
The pupil may respond poorly to direct light but constricts briskly when the other eye is illuminated (relative afferent pupillary defect). In acute cases, funduscopy shows a pale, opaque fundus with a red fovea (cherry-red spot). Typically, the arteries are attenuated and may even appear bloodless. An embolus (eg, a cholesterol embolus, called a Hollenhorst plaque) is sometimes visible. If a major branch is occluded rather than the entire artery, fundus abnormalities and vision loss are limited to that sector of the retina.
Patients who have giant cell arteritis are 55 or older and may have a headache, a tender and palpable temporal artery, jaw claudication, fatigue, or a combination.
The diagnosis is suspected when a patient has acute, painless, severe vision loss. Funduscopy is usually confirmatory. Fluorescein angiography is often done and shows absence of perfusion in the affected artery.
Once the diagnosis is made, carotid Doppler ultrasonography and echocardiography should be done to identify an embolic source so that further embolization can be prevented.
If giant cell arteritis is suspected, ESR, C-reactive protein, and platelet count should be done immediately. These tests may not be necessary if an embolic plaque is visible in the central retinal artery.
Central Retinal Artery Occlusion
Patients with a branch artery occlusion may maintain good to fair vision, but with central artery occlusion, vision loss is often profound, even with treatment. Once retinal infarction occurs (as quickly as 90 min after the occlusion), vision loss is permanent.
Immediate treatment is indicated if occlusion occurred within 24 h of presentation. Reduction of intraocular pressure with ocular hypotensive drugs (eg, topical timolol Some Trade Names
Click for Drug Monograph
0.5%, acetazolamide Some Trade Names
Click for Drug Monograph
500 mg IV or po), intermittent digital massage over the closed eyelid, or anterior chamber paracentesis may dislodge an embolus and allow it to enter a smaller branch of the artery, thus reducing the area of retinal ischemia. Some centers have tried infusing thrombolytics into the carotid artery to dissolve the obstructing clot. Nonetheless, treatments for retinal artery occlusions rarely improve visual acuity. Surgical or laser-mediated embolectomy is available but not commonly done. These treatments are sometimes shown to be effective in small case series, but none have strong evidence to support efficacy.
Patients with occlusion secondary to giant cell arteritis should receive high-dose systemic corticosteroids.

Hurricane Sandy's effect on the nation's unemployment figures was less pronounced than expected. The reasons why are complex, but one thing is clear: Thousands of victims are still struggling to rebuild their lives and get back to work.
Danielle Siekierski was tending bar in Manhattan's Meat Packing District before Sandy hit. When the restaurant was damaged in the storm, the workers were told it might be a week before it reopened.
Two weeks later, it closed for good. Siekierski says the restaurant's finances were already shaky, and Sandy was the nail in the coffin.
'It's Beating Me Down'
Now Siekierski is on the hunt for work. Every day she gets up, goes on the Internet and sends out resumes — often applying for 10 or 20 jobs in a day. She's had no luck, she says, and "it's beating me down."
She tries to go to several interviews a day, but that has also been discouraging. At her most recent interview, there were 30 people in the room when she arrived. Knowing the window for interviews was short, Siekierski left. "I know that by the time I get in there and I wait, they will cut it off at [7 p.m.] and no one is going to even speak with me," she recalls.
Siekierski has applied for unemployment insurance through funds targeted for people laid off due to the storm. The money hasn't come through yet, but it will only be a drop in the bucket when it does. "It's $180," Siekierski says. "I live in downtown. $1,300 rent. That doesn't cover it."
Manhattan, where Siekierski lives, seems much recovered on the surface. But near the JFK airport over in Howard Beach, Queens, the effects of Sandy are still visible everywhere. There are dumpsters filled with sheet rock and stacks of broken wood in front of many houses.
One Week Becomes Six
Erin Kulick, a veterinarian, chose to work at the Howard Beach Animal Clinic because she loved the people — but also because the clinic is very close to her home. Pointing it out from her balcony, she notes its missing siding.
At first, Kulick, less than three years out of vet school, was optimistic after the storm. Staff cleaned up the clinic and ferried animals to heated shelters nearby. The head of the clinic told the staff to take a week or two off, but two weeks later, the power was still out.
"There was no way you could practice," Kulick says, "And you were starting to get mold issues." At three weeks, her situation was getting dire. "I just couldn't afford to be unemployed that long," she says.
The clinic's owner is trying to get it back up and running, but Kulick says all five associate veterinarians have their resumes out. Kulick was lucky, as she and her husband had some savings and she is getting unemployment insurance.
But the couple had to spend their savings to replace their cars, both destroyed in the storm. Finding a rental car in the interim took days, and having to care for their dog made things even more difficult.
An Uncertain Holiday Season
But "cars are nothing," Kulick says. "Job uncertainty sucks." On the flip side, she says, her neighbors have been great. "I have never been so close to my community."
And yet, there are moments when Kulick feels survivors guilt. "So many people have it worse," she says. "There are still people with no heat."
Both Siekierski and Kulick have family out of state, but neither is sure they will make it home for Christmas. "I've never missed a Christmas, but I feel I can't really leave," Siekierski says. "Because if I do, how can I start a job?"
Various government agencies have their own yardsticks to measure Sandy's impact on employment. But the personal stories are many — and they are not going away.

Sorbus aucuparia Asplenifolia is a Mountain Ash or Rowan which has delicately cut leaves; it is also referred to by some as Sorbus aucuparia Laciniata.
This tree has feathery, fern like, foliage which is deep green and finely cut around the edges, turning to a glorious orange-red in the autumn time.
In the spring time it has a display of creamy white flowers followed by clusters of red berries that are a favourite with wild birds. Sorbus aucuparia Asplenifolia is a medium sized tree which forms a broadly pyramidal shaped crown if the central leader is retained.
As a young tree, like many Rowans, it displays a fairly upright shape, which broadens with time. It is an extremely tough tree which will readily thrive on most soils, including those which are acidic.
This pretty tree is suitable for planting in gardens and parklands and compliments planting schemes where a softer feel is required. It is a tree which is attractive and large enough to become a statement specimen, yet has a native feel that enables it to be planted fairly inconspicuously on a boundary with other native trees.
There are very few trees which are cut leaved and this one is a wonderful addition to the short list of them!

Just because you taught yourself how to draw, doesn't mean you can shun any criticism you receive, every class you take, or any flaw you make because you're a self-taught snowflake.
You're no better than artists who learned from a professional. If nothing else, those artists have advantages over you. As a self-taught artist myself, I can easily say there are downfalls to teaching yourself how to draw.
So get off your high-horse and stfu.

Renovation Tips from Hotel Bathrooms
Hotels are one of our favorite sources of design inspiration, and their bathrooms are no different. Beyond the mini soaps and fluffy towels, there's real thought behind their function that can prove useful in your own bathroom renovation. Check out these hotel bathrooms from around the world, along with what you can learn from them for your own renovation at home.
1. Luxe never looks old. The bathrooms at the Greenwich Hotel have a very classic, upscale feel. Cool, calming white marble is paired with brass hardware for some warmth and glam. If this is your inspiration, spend where you can, because quality is always stylish.
2. Same color, different scales. A fully black-tiled bathroom sounds like a trip back to the 80s. The key at Hotel DeBrett in Auckland is mixing up the sizes. The smaller penny tiles on the walls match the floors, but the grout helps to break up the sea of black. With this tip, you can make any color work in the bathroom. Also, don't be afraid to add a pop of contrasting color and a bit of whimsy, like with this cheery ladder.
3. Have towels at the ready. Sure, you can add a basket of towels or store them in the linen closet, but if you're renovating, why not add some built in storage? The shelves underneath the sink at Hotel Missoni are unassuming, yet keep what you need close at hand. There's also plenty of hooks and bars in this smallish space.
4. Make the most of what you've got. Not all hotel bathrooms are expanses of marble. The charming old bathrooms at the Ace Hotel don't have much space, but use it well. The tiny corner sink is flanked by open ledges and storage baskets, proving even the smallest powder room can be made comfortable and useful.
5. Relax! Okay, so you may not be sold on a hammock like the one at the W Mexico City, but adding a little R&R to your WC is a great idea. Whether it takes the form of candles, soft curtains, a little settee, some calming tunes, or a fireplace, we all need a little escape sometimes.

When I renovated my bathroom I was aiming to have that hotel/resort feel. I second the white towels. Yes they may dirty more easily (who wants to use the same towel more than a few days anyway) but they are soooo much easier to clean. Just some lemon juice to keep white and maybe bleach 1x/month or every other month.
I did a white, solid color curtain. I love the curved shower rods in hotel bathrooms. It gives so much space to wash hair, shave, plus I like the look of the subtle curve.
I don't use bathmats, I just use a cheap white towel folded 3 ways. When one side gets dirty I just flip it, then turn it insideout, and on and on until all sides are used and it goes in the wash.
I may upgrade one day to the actual towel mats they use in hotels. Suppliers of 5-star hotels are a great shopping source!! Especially if you have people you can split the order with as often times they have deals on bulk purchases, or they may require bulk purchases.
Next project is putting a couple stacks of cubbies/ baskets with a vanity top. I don't have much counter room and that's something hotels usually have.
With the help of my dad, I renovated our bathroom last March, and I can really relate to tip number 5! At the time, I had a very stressful job, and all I wanted was a place to unwind at the end of the day. We had one tiny shoebox bathroom, and it was anything but relaxing. So we saved up, and for about $1500, we transformed it into the calming space it is now. I echo Littlemisssunshine in that white towels really make a big difference!
You can check out http://bit.ly/KIGkvz If you would like to see pics or read about some of the challenges during the remodel :)
Yes, I got a small but significant idea from a hotel I stayed in which had a marble shelf all along the inner edge of the bath. It was a great place to put shampoo etc.
Impressed by that, and tired of chrome shower shelves that rusted in a few months, I bought a remnant of granite (3 or 4 inches by 28 inches or so) and put it across the foot of my bath/shower. I put little rubber sticky pads on the bottom so it wouldn't slip. It works fantastically well. No rusting.
I was inspired by European hotel bathrooms- installed a heated towel rack, changed to neutral colors and finishes- think ivory, bamboo, and brushed nickel. Second the white towel idea, they look more luxurious somehow!
Thanks a lot for the renovation tips. These tips are helpful for us. I will suggest you to visit my blog: http://www.buildingandbeyond.co.nz/bathroom-renovation

Hosted by Matthew Duss and Robert Farley, Foreign Entanglements brings together people with contrasting views on America's role in the world.
|fast audio
On Foreign Entanglements, Matt and Ben discuss new indications that Israel will hold off on striking Iran. Matt brings up the important difference between preemption and prevention. They point out that a nuclear Iran would be subject to the dangers of accidents and mistakes. We shouldn't grow too comfortable with the Cold War doctrine of mutually-assured destruction, they suggest, just because it happened to work for a few decades. What are the chances of Obama ordering a strike after the election? They close with Ben's interview with Iraqi opposition leader Ayad Allawi.
On Foreign Entanglements, Rob speaks with Andrew Erickson, editor of the new book Chinese Aerospace Power. Andrew and Rob discuss the long road to development of China's new aircraft carrier, including the choices that the carrier represents and what it might portend for China's military future. They then work through the implications of China's development of anti-ship ballistic missiles and what it tells us about China's military bureaucracy.
On Foreign Entanglements, Rob and Joshua discuss the tragic massacre of sixteen Afghan civilians by a US Army sergeant, and the public reaction in Afghanistan, before moving on to the implications of the massacre for the US election. Rob and Joshua then consider whether Afghanistan can become a modern state, and the regional implications of the impending American withdrawal. Plus: Instead of victory, should our goal be risk management?
On Foreign Entanglements, Matt and Meir discuss the real winners in Iran's parliamentary elections, and how Ahmadinejad got in trouble with the country's religious authorities. Could anything persuade the Supreme Leader to change course? Meir corrects assumptions about Iranian "apocalypticism," and argues that Obama and Netanyahu are playing a good cop/bad cop routine. Finally, is a Middle East free of nuclear weapons an attainable goal?

- upon move-out if check-out is complete and satisfactory according to your contract
Your housing deposit is non-refundable if:
- you are placed in housing and withdraw your application
- you withdraw your application on or after July 1 for fall semester, Dec 1 for spring semester
- break the housing agreement (see agreement)

Wind energy gets a budget deal boost
Congress is extending tax credits for the sector, furthering development of one source of alternative energy in the national power grid. But not everyone is pleased.
Here's some information you might have missed during all the crazed fiscal cliff negotiations: As part of the financial deal, Congress extended tax credits on all wind energy projects through 2013.
That news was warmly welcomed by wind power developers -- many of whom rushed to complete wind farms and other projects in 2012 in case those subsidies ran out.
How important were those subsidies? "Just simply, 30% of the value of a project is derived from the tax credit," Florian Zerhusen, chief executive of WKN USA, a San Diego wind developer, told MyDesert.com. "That's what makes it so important, or you're making too low a return."
The American Wind Energy Association says about half of the 75,000 jobs in the nation's wind energy sector -- along with jobs at companies involved in the industry's supply chain -- would have been at risk if the tax credits had been allowed to expire.
That threat also shelved expansion plans at many of the nearly 500 wind turbine manufacturing facilities across the country. The reduced demand in wind turbine components led to waves of layoffs as industry leaders like Vestas (VWSYF), Siemens (SMAWF) and Gamesa (GCTAY) cut staff.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration says that at the end of 2011, wind power provided 3% of all electricity generated in the U.S. -- and that number is rising rapidly in the public and private sectors. The Department of Energy estimates wind power could provide 20% of the nation's energy supplies by 2030.
There are concrete examples around the country of wind power's entrance into the national grid. Iowa's largest utility, MidAmerican Energy, currently gets about 30% of its total power generation from wind. New York state, which buys power from 17 wind farms, announced it would put another $250 million into alternative energy products. And the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which operates that's state's largest power grid, said strong winds from a recent cold front contributed to a new wind power record for the Lone Star State.
Some large companies that rely on electricity for their operations are also factoring in wind power investments to control their energy costs. Wal-Mart (WMT) has its own wind farm in West Texas that reportedly supplies 15% of the power needs for over 300 Walmart and Sam's Clubs stores. It also installed a massive wind turbine at its distribution center in California last August.
And Reuters reports retail furniture giant IKEA, which owns wind farms in six European countries, is investing nearly $2 billion in solar and wind power -- with a goal of producing as much renewable energy as it consumes by 2020.
But not everyone is cheering the extended wind power subsidies.
"Members of Congress are naturally under pressure from wind farm operators at home to keep the subsidies flowing," said an editorial in the Boston Herald. "But it would amount to a political sin to do so for such an inefficient approach with the national debt ever rising and when abundant natural gas costs only one-quarter what it did four years ago."
And in a recent Wall Street Journal column, former Texas Senator Phil Gramm argued the tax credits "waste taxpayer money, subvert the allocation of capital, and generate a social cost many times the price tag of the subsides themselves."

WASHINGTON D.C. (WKZO) -- Cars that tangle with semi-trucks usually do not fare very well but designs and guards that can make collisions between the two less deadly are being developed, and crash tests conducted.
Crashing them into each other in controlled settings is the insurance industry's way of trying to convince truck manufacturers that their trucks and trailers need improvement.
The Insurance Institute's David Zuby says the guards that hang down off the back of trailers do a good job of keeping cars from going under the trailers and suffering shearing accidents. They say side rails would keep them from doing the same in t-bone crashes.
They say they hope the data will convince the industry to voluntarily make improvements or the Government to mandate them.

32 projects aiming to prevent AF-related stroke will be awarded €1 million in 1 Mission 1 Million initiative
For non-UK and non-US media
Ingelheim, Germany, 22 June 2011 – Today, the public cast their last votes for 184 projects competing for a share of €1 million in the global disease awareness initiative, 1 Mission 1 Million – Getting to the Heart of Stroke. These projects, submitted by individuals, patient and professional groups and healthcare centres in 36 countries share the single aim to raise awareness of the link between the common heart rhythm disorder atrial fibrillation (AF) and the risk of having a stroke. The winners will be announced during this year's European Society of Cardiology (ESC) congress in Paris at the end of August.
Only three months ago actress Jane Seymour called upon the public to vote on the 1 Mission 1 Million projects. Jane's call for votes and the relentless efforts of the applicants to promote their projects led to an outstanding 2 million votes and 200,000 personal comments on the global website www.heartofstroke.com which includes information in various languages.
"I am really excited about these results and the amount of people who went out of their way to vote and leave comments on the website. One of our aims was to engage with the general public directing them to AF information on www.heartofstroke.com," said Jane Seymour, ambassador for 1 Mission 1 Million. "I lost my mother to an AF-related stroke; more still needs to be done to make people aware of this risk and to make sure they receive the best protection – these projects will really make a difference."
AF is the most common sustained heart rhythm disorder and leads to as many as 3 million strokes worldwide each year,1,2,3 however, awareness of the link between AF and stroke remains low, resulting in suboptimal protection for millions of patients.
What happens next?
All votes received will now be reviewed and validated by an organisation which specialises in independent promotional and broadcast verification in order to make sure that the voting has not been manipulated. Once this verification process has been carried out, all applicants who have been successful in either the public vote or have been selected for an 'Expert Pick' will be informed. Prior to funding being awarded, these applicants will undergo checks on eligibility, compliance with Terms and Conditions and accuracy of the information provided in their application. Project entrants that will receive a share of a €1 million donation will be announced during this year's European Society of Cardiology (ESC) congress in Paris after the verification process and applicant checks have been carried out.
"It is important that we do all we can to educate the public about AF-related strokes, which are more debilitating than other types of stroke and lead to an increased risk of death," said Eve Knight, campaign supporter and Co-Founder and Chief Executive of the leading charity AntiCoagulation Europe (ACE), "AntiCoagulation Europe, as a partner of the initiative, is certain that 1 Mission 1 Million has contributed substantially to educating people about AF-related stroke through the media, the website and educational materials. We look forward to the next phase of this campaign when the winning applicants can be awarded and can begin their important task of raising awareness."
Please visit www.heartofstroke.com to find out more about AF and stroke, the projects and to follow the results. 1 Mission 1 Million – Getting to the Heart of Stroke is supported by 44 patient and medical organisations and sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim.
About Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
AF is the most common sustained heart rhythm abnormality worldwide with one in four adults over the age of 40 developing AF in their lifetime.1,5 AF causes the heart to beat irregularly and often too quickly or too slowly.6 People with AF are five times more likely to suffer a stroke than people without AF and AF-related strokes tend to be more severe and disabling than non AF-related strokes.4,7,8 Many AF-related strokes can be prevented with correct management but many patients are not aware of their risk and so take no action to prevent it.9
About 1 Mission 1 Million
1 Mission 1 Million – Getting to the Heart of Stroke is a first-of-its-kind disease awareness initiative, supported by leading health experts and patient organisations including AntiCoagulation Europe, Atrial Fibrillation Association, Stroke Alliance for Europe and the World Heart Federation and is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim.Project applications, submitted by healthcare professionals and organisations worldwide, were reviewed by an Expert Panel whose members are leaders in the field of AF, and the public invited to votes on these projects from 22nd March 2011. Voting closed on 22nd June 2011 and the projects with the most votes will soon be awarded funding after undergoing checks. The Expert Panel members also selected seven 'Expert Picks' – projects that were deemed to be deserving of special recognition.A total of 32 awards were made available, ranging from €10,000 to €100,000, totaling €1 million.

Each pair features a proprietary driver design with neodymium magnets and a stylish design that's complemented by Yamaha's iconic tuning fork.
The PRO 300 is the most compact model, with an on-ear design and a 4-foot cable with an in-line remote/mic control. At $199.95, it comes in piano black, racing blue and ivory white.
Available in piano black and ivory white, the PRO 400 features an over-ear design for added noise isolation, larger drivers, and a $299.95 MSRP. The PRO 500, on the other hand, is the flagship model with an over-ear design, ultra-premium drivers and rigid aluminum alloy ear cups. Available in racing blue and piano black, the PRO 500 has an MSRP of $399.95.
Both the PRO 400 and 500 each come with two detachable cables. One is the 4-foot cable with the in-line remote/mic, with another 10-foot option for home use.
Certified as "Made for iPod, iPhone and iPad," all PRO models have folding designs and come with a carrying case and gold-plated 1/4-inch adapter. All versions of Yamaha PRO headphones will be available sometime in late September.

In the New Jersey Shore towns flooded by Hurricane Sandy last fall, house raising is booming. Drive down the shore roads, and you'll see dozens of houses up on blocking. It's risky work. Accidents can happen — and earlier this month, one did.
"Last week, a Kansas Road home collapsed while it was being raised, injuring three workers from Eco-Friendly Builders, of Middletown," the Press of Atlantic City reported on July 19 ("Slow and careful wins race to raise houses after Sandy," by Donna Weaver). "The accident remains under investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration."
"Thousands of homes must be raised as coastal homeowners strive to meet higher flood elevation standards in the wake of Hurricane Sandy," the paper reports. "That means a huge increase in demand for house-raising services — and, some fear, an influx of new operators."
Veteran house mover Wayne Yarusi of W. A. Building Movers warned of the risk in an interview with JLC on June 24. "I have seen guys coming down the road who do tile work, guys who are roofing contractors, they're all starting to become house raisers because they think they're going to make money at it. But everything they are doing is wrong. The beam sizing is wrong, how the house is set up is wrong, the cribbing is set up is wrong, the type of jacks they're using is wrong. But people are hiring these guys."
Yarusi says homeowners and general contractors should be careful about liability. General business liability insurance usually won't cover damage caused by house raising activity, he says — so if a house is damaged or destroyed, or a worker injured or killed, homeowners or general contractors may end up on the hook for the loss.
It's not a business to take on lightly, Yarusi says. "To be in the building moving business, you not only have to have general construction insurance, you are in the trucking business because you have to haul in heavy equipment. you're in the rigging business because you are actually doing rigging."
"Before you jump into it two feet first, you better take a hard look to find out if this is something that you really, really want to do," says Yarusi. "Or are you in it for just the money? That's the difference. Somebody who is serious about the type of work, who wants to do it the right way, and set himself up the right way, that's totally different from some guy who is like, 'Oh, hey, I can handle it. I don't want to pay a mover what he wants to raise a house; I can make all that money and put it in my back pocket. Only to find out, there's a disaster: the homeowner's house is going to be damaged if not lost, and somebody's life is going to be taken — all for the goal of making money."

More than two decades ago, a group of men attempted to riff the 1968 movie, "The Green Slime". They failed...
Okay, so they didn't know what riffing was yet, they hadn't perfected the craft, but soon would! Now, revisit the film used for the original, unbroadcast pilot of MST3K, given the full iRiff treatment. How could it maybe have sounded had they fully done a riff of the movie, with the full abilities of riffing afforded to them later on. Thus, it's KiTMAh Predicts! Thrill to vague attempts to not sound much different from how they sounded, without breaching copyright issues! No references past October 1988! A sleepy voiced guy and a Midwesterner! A third riffer oddly appearing after whenabouts a host segment would've gone, then disappearing after when the next one would've gone!... And YOU, are there!
Of course, "The Green Slime" is not yet available on DVD in the US. Yet, you can't swing a dead rubber monster around without seeing it available unlegal-like on the updated Arpanet! As we would never condone the purchase of bootleg VHS rips of the film, we encourage everyone to buy this iRiff, then store it in a safe place until such time as MGM gets off their lazy collective lion-hide-duffs and puts it out officially.

Salads are made to order with fresh local produce at a new branch of a popular salad chain. Zagat editor James Mulcahy filed the following report.
Sweetgreen is not your average grab-and-go lunch chain.
The concept, which also has locations in D.C. and Philadelphia, was founded by three college students during their tenure at Georgetown University, and a youthful vibe pervades the space.
"We're a food company, but at the end of the day it's about the experience. I feel like we have that young, start-up energy and we feed off of it. At the coach level and in the store level, we really get to interact with the founders a lot," says Greg LaFauci, NYC Area Leader at Sweetgreen.
The chain has brought a farm-to-table ethos to the fast casual sector—many of the ingredients are provided by purveyors in the tri-State area.
"Sweetgreen, I think, is different than other salad chains because of our sourcing. We really focus on local, organic, sustainably farmed foods. And a lot of the time it's a little bit harder, the work that we do, but at the end of the day that sense of accomplishment is what's worth it," LaFauci says.
The menu is curated based on what's currently in season. You'll see the lineup change as ingredients become available in the surrounding area.
"We have fresh herbs right on the line, so whole basil and cilantro that we cut to order right there. Local ingredients like asparagus, the first vegetable crop of the spring, as well as fresh mozzarella made from Maplebrook Farms up in Vermont. The asparagus will be gone in a few weeks so you have to get it while it's here," says LaFauci.
By celebrating local produce outside of a fancy restaurant environment, the chain has developed die-hard fans. Expect to see more locations sprout up around town.
"We are excited to open up in Brooklyn, in Williamsburg, hopefully by September this year. We're still actively looking to find some other homes here for us in the market," LaFauci says.

I am puzzled. The general election is less than two months away, governmental problems abound, but no one seems to be upset or saying anything.
This is when politicians can be held accountable – virtually the only time voters have any direct say.
On election day, the winners will be elected and voters will generally be unable to vote them out for four years. Now is the time to make politicians explain what they plan to do if elected, yet no one is asking any questions.

Article by The Family Caregiver
The research is clear! The extreme stress that many family caregivers experience has been shown to affect our immune systems making us more prone to chronic illnesses ourselves. It can cause premature aging and in some cases result in premature death.
These are not questions to be taken lightly. Your own good health is the best present you can provide to the person you care for.
As caregivers it is important we recognize and not ignore the physical and emotional symptoms which may impact our own health and well being. We need to guard against caregiver burnout and avoid becoming overly tired and exhausted which can reduce our own body's ability to ward off illness.
It is important to remember to create balance between caring for others and caring for ourselves. But how? You begin by believing - truly believing - that protecting your health is an absolutely critical thing to do for yourself and your loved one. You may not be able to do this easily, especially if guilt tends to get in your way; but, it is vital that you try.
Sometimes taking care of ourselves can be put on the back burner especially when moving from one crisis to another. However, we owe it ourselves and our families to try and make self care a priority. Believe in your value as a human being and your right to a few minutes of personal space and good health. By realizing and being forewarned that your own health and well being can be put at risk you can guard against the pitfalls which can lead to your own chronic illness. The following statement cannot be stressed enough!:
The best way to be an effective and loving caregiver is to take care of yourself.

KSP Works To Save Lives During Labor Day Holiday Weekend
Date of News Release: 08/27/2007
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - The approaching Labor Day holiday weekend marks the end of the summer vacation season and the Kentucky State Police are expecting increased traffic on the state's roadways. To help save lives, KSP will be maximizing its traffic enforcement activities beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Friday Aug. 31 and continuing through 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 3.
"As part of the nationwide 'Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest." campaign, troopers will be conducting saturation patrols and safety checkpoints while coordinating efforts with local law enforcement agencies," says KSP Commissioner Jack Adams. "You'll see more troopers on the road and enforcement will be strict," he adds. "Impaired drivers will be arrested and motorists exceeding posted speed limits or not using seat belts will be ticketed."
As part of Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Action Reduction Effort), the agency will also be targeting interstate highways, parkways and roads leading to boat ramps and waterways.
During last year's three-day Labor Day holiday, there were 770 crashes on Kentucky's roadways, resulting in nine fatalities and 276 injuries. Two of those fatalities involved the use of alcohol and six of the victims were not wearing seat belts.
During the same time period, KSP made 218 arrests for impaired driving, issued 3,266 speed violation citations and cited 40 drivers for child restraint violations.
As of Aug. 26, a total of 547 people have died on Kentucky roads during 2007. One-hundred and twenty-six of these victims were the result of crashes that involved the use of alcohol. Two-hundred and fifty-two were not wearing seat belts.
"Kentucky has a zero tolerance policy regarding impaired driving," explains Capt. Tim Lucas, commander of the KSP Highway Safety Branch. "Driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 is illegal, but you can also be arrested for lower levels if you are under 21 years of age or operating a commercial vehicle. If you are going to drive, it's best not to consume any alcohol at all."
"Even first time violators face immediate arrest, which can result in severe financial burdens including court costs, legal fees, higher auto insurance rates and fines. Other consequences, such as loss of license and even imprisonment, could affect employment," says Lucas.
According to Lt. Col. Dean Hayes, KSP Dir. of Operations, troopers will also be on the lookout for motorists who violate posted speed limits and ignore Kentucky's primary seat belt law. "No warnings will be issued," he says. "Drivers exceeding the speed limit or not wearing a seat belt will receive a citation."
"Excessive speed reduces your ability to avoid a crash, extends your vehicle's stopping distance and increases the severity of a crash when it occurs," notes Hayes.
"Seat belts are your best defense in crash," he adds. "Seat belt use reduces the risk of sustaining a fatal injury by 45 percent in a car and 60 percent in a light truck."
According to Kentucky law, all children 40 inches in height or less, must be buckled into a child safety restraint seat that meets federal standards. Children over 40 inches tall must wear a seat belt. Violation of this law will result in a $50.00 fine with an additional $10.00 fine donated to the Traumatic Brain Injury Trust Fund.
Motorists should also be aware that the back seat is the safest place for children to sit, especially in vehicles equipped with passenger-side air bags. Infants and toddlers should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger-side air bag. Parents should always be sure that their child's safety seat has been properly installed in the vehicle according to the manufacturer's instructions.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a properly installed child safety seat reduces the risk of death by 71 percent for infants and 54 percent to toddlers in passenger cars.
Kentucky law makes the driver responsible for assuring that all occupants of the vehicle are properly restrained. Violation of this law will result in a fine not to exceed $25.00.
"Many lives can be saved if motorists follow three simple rules this Labor Day weekend," says KSP Commissioner Adams. "Slow down, buckle up and don't drive while impaired."
Citizens can help save lives by reporting impaired, erratic or speeding drivers to the KSP toll-free hotline at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should provide a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.

People throw around the term "mommy wars" a lot, but as a mom for more than nine years now I've never felt any of the fire. Oh maybe someone's comment about their choice to stay home makes me feel a little guilty about my choice, but cowardly anonymous internet attacks aside, I don't feel like it's mom vs. mom that's the issue -- it's moms vs. working life in general that's the real problem for most of us.
My sister, an attorney, sent me this departure memo that appeared in Above the Law from a mom who was trying to juggle a law career and her family and decided it was just too much. In it she outlines a typical day, and concludes that she just can't do both anymore so she is leaving the practice. I've read it countless times, and it's haunting and heartbreaking in its familiarity.
She wrote:
4:00am: Hear baby screaming, hope I am dreaming, realize I'm not, sleep walk to nursery, give her a pacifier and put her back to sleep
4:45am: Finally get back to bed
5:30am: Alarm goes off, hit snooze
6:00am: See the shadow of a small person standing at my bedroom door, realize it is my son who has wet the bed (time to change the sheets)
6:15am: Hear baby screaming, make a bottle, turn on another excruciating episode of Backyardigans, feed baby
7:00am: Find some clean clothes for the kids, get them dressed
7:30am: Realize that I am still in my pajamas and haven't showered, so pull hair back in a ponytail and throw on a suit
8:00am: Pile into the car, drive the kids to daycare
8:15am: TRAFFIC
9:00am: finally arrive at daycare, baby spits up on suit, get kids to their classrooms, realize I have a conference call in 15 minutes
9:20am: Run into my office, dial-in to conference call 5 minutes late and realize that no one would have known whether or not I was on the call, but take notes anyway
9:30am: Get an email that my time is late, Again! Enter my time
10:00am: Team meeting; leave with a 50-item to-do list
11:00am: Attempt to prioritize to-do list and start tasks; start an email delegating a portion of the tasks (then, remember there is no one under me)
2:00pm: Realize I forgot to eat lunch, so go to the 9th floor kitchen to score some leftovers
2:30pm: Get a frantic email from a client needing an answer to a question by COB today
2:45pm: postpone work on task number 2 of 50 from to-do list and attempt to draft a response to client's question
4:30pm: send draft response to Senior Associate and Partner for review
5:00pm: receive conflicting comments from Senior Associate and Partner (one in new version and one in track changes); attempt to reconcile; send redline
5:30pm: wait for approval to send response to client; realize that I am going to be late picking up the kids from daycare ($5 for each minute late)
5:50pm: get approval; quickly send response to client
6:00pm: race to daycare to get the kids (they are the last two there)
6:30pm: TRAFFIC with a side of screaming kids who are starving
7:15pm: Finally arrive home, throw chicken nuggets in the microwave, feed the family
7:45pm: Negotiate with husband over who will do bathtime and bedtime routine; lose
8:00pm: Bath, pajamas, books, bed
9:00pm: Kids are finally asleep, check blackberry and have 25 unread messages
9:15pm: Make a cup of coffee and open laptop; login to Citrix
9:45pm: Citrix finally loads; start task number 2
11:30pm: Wake up and realize I fell asleep at my desk; make more coffee; get through task number 3
1:00am: Jump in the shower (lord knows I won't have time in the morning)
1:30am: Finally go to bed
First of all, good for her for knowing she can't keep doing what she's doing, and good for her that she can economically make that choice to leave her job -- not everyone can. But it's incredibly depressing to me that she has to make this choice, that it has to be this hard.
We were raised (and are raising our daughters) to thrive in school, to climb corporate ladders, and go out and conquer the world. And so we do as society cheers us on with a resounding echo of "you go, girl!" ... until we have children. Then all the cheers are replaced with guilt trips and no concessions to help us keep going.
Yes, our children are our first priorities, and we love them more than life, but having children shouldn't mean women can't work. Anyone who says moms who have careers don't love their kids as much or aren't as good of parents as those who stay home don't really even deserve any acknowledgment in this argument. But for the rest of the world who says, yes, women can have it all, they're certainly not helping.
Also -- and I'm know I'm opening up a whole other can of worms here -- but men have also got to start stepping up their game; and maybe even more importantly, we've got to put our control issues aside and ask and let them do some more stepping. Where is this woman's husband in any of this?! Even the most involved husbands and fathers I know, don't come close to doing their share of the household management (e.g. buying gifts, making sure everyone's schedules are synced, packing snacks for the car trip, etc. etc.). Even when both partners work equal hours, it's inevitably (and yes, I'm sure there are a few exceptions though I don't know of any) the woman who shoulders more (much more usually) of the familial responsibility. It's exhausting, and I don't know why we accept it that way, or why we put it on ourselves that way.
I'm one of the fortunate few who has found a work situation that is flexible, that does allow me to balance my children and a career, however precariously. And my husband is incredibly involved and helpful. Still, my day isn't that different from the one the woman outlines above. For me it's working. For now. But I know so very many talented, brilliant women who want to or need to work but can't find such situations, and so all of that hard work and knowledge is just lying there depressingly dormant.
It's baffling to me that more employers can't figure out how to help women make it work, who don't see what they're missing out on with this enormous talent pool when they don't find flexible and creative ways that allow moms to work. It's a shame not only for the women but for the companies, organizations, and society as a whole that are losing out on such amazing employees.
Does this woman's letter break your heart?

I completely understand. Hopefully if the family are in a good financial situation she should take time off and if/when she ready maybe she can do some consulting work on her own from home.
No mother should be made to feel guilty over the choices she makes on whether to work or stay home as each mother is only what she thinks is best for her family.Women as a whole need to quit being so petty and judgemental about others parenting choices and be there for eachother with comapssion and support.That's my opinion anyway.
The letter is pretty much of the day in the life of a professional woman with young children. I would rather read aspirational stories of those families that are making it all work, despite all the challenges.
A related thing I want to point out is that productivity has increased by about 3.5 times in the U.S. over the past 50 years and yet people are still being pushed to work as much as they can. How difficult is it to take the increases in productivity that we've been making throughout the past 50-100 years in order to focus more on increasing free time that's available to us so we can focus more on what's most important for the health and happiness of ourselves and our families? Is being as productive as possible the be-all end-all of what life is about? If so, why?
If interested, searching for something such as "productivity 1950s today" on Google gives you some pages that go into more detail about economic productivity.
Her problem isn't a demanding job, it's no support system. A lazy husband who can't even be bothered to get some dinner together when his kids are getting home at 7:15pm. An unreasonable employer who expects her to stay late instead of getting her children and then work at home all night? No thank you.
My husband and I both work professional jobs and one of my kids has severe special needs. I chose a career where I can get home by 4 and I still hire a mother's helper a few nights a week for dinner and bath time when my husband works late. It is doable, but you might have to take lower pay to have a career and an employer that are going to be a good fit for the family.

"This Private Reserve Chardonnay has rich, ripe layers of bright citrus, lemon peel, pineapple and smoky, toasty oak with sweet vanilla and butter notes. There's only one word for it: Delicious"
-Ed Sbragia, Winemaster
As in past vintages, Ed Sbragia chose to barrel ferment and age the individual vineyard lots for the 1999 Private Reserve separately, matching each vineyard lot to new French Nevers oak barrels. Ed stirred the lees weekly during ten months of aging to encourage a smoky, nutty, toasty character and he put the wine through 100 percent malolactic fermentation to add a creamy, rich mouthfeel. As with his Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Ed believes that blending from a variety of vineyards layers aroma, flavor and textural characteristics into the wine, resulting in the best Chardonnay he can make from each vintage. This held true with the 1999 Private Reserve Chardonnay, as the blend combines the citrus and butter aromas and flavors from the Yountville-area blocks with pineapple, apple and pear from the vineyards further south and into Carneros.
No winery or vineyard more thoroughly embodies the timeless appeal and seductive flavor of Napa Valley than Beringer Vineyards, Napa's benchmark producer since the establishment of the vineyard in 1876.

We've seen some pretty awesome combo products in the past. The speaker that doubles as a light has been especially popular. Could the docking station/toaster be the next combo to take the electronics world by storm?
Gavio certainly hopes so. The company just announced the Toast docking station. Now, before you get too giddy, this speaker dock doesn't really make toast. It's just a little conversation piece to get your friends talking about how completely awesome that option would actually be.
So this Toast is not just for breakfast anymore. It works anytime you dock your iPhone or iPod into this appliance-inspired speaker system, offering a little tech treat whenever you need it.
Gavio lists the Toast as having 50mm speaker drivers, 3 watts of total RMS power, and a frequency response of 150Hz to 18KHz. So it's not going to wake the neighbors, but it does provide a nice conversation piece—and probably matches most kitchens.
For now, Toast is listed as a pre-order item, but there's no actual information on how you can do that. Expect to hear more info in a few weeks, when the company presents Toast at January's Consumer Electronics Show.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
The company's latest uses Z-Wave to communicate with virtually all popular home automation products.
