Top Thoroughbred owner Ahmed Zayat announced Thursday that his stable has reached a settlement with Fifth Third Bank, ending legal wrangling that at one time ensnared a Kentucky Derby hopeful.
The proposed settlement calls for a restructuring of Zayat's loans with Fifth Third that spreads out payments over nearly five years. In an interview, Zayat said the settlement is close to his stable's initial bankruptcy reorganization plan.
He said the settlement allows him to manage the stables as he sees fit, noting, "I can buy and sell and expand and do whatever I want."
Under the settlement, Fifth Third would not stand in the way of the reorganization plan, ending a series of objections it had filed. The settlement calls for Zayat Stables to pay down the principal of $28.15 million that will remain on the loans as of June 30. As the years pass, Zayat Stables will pay Fifth Third a flat fee on the loans or a certain amount as determined by factors including proceeds from the sale of horses during the year.
The settlement deal will be considered by the bankruptcy court in Newark, N.J., on Wednesday.
Zayat Stables declared bankruptcy in New Jersey in February to block a move by Fifth Third to take over the stable of more than 200 horses, including onetime Kentucky Derby hopeful Eskendereya. A week before that race, the colt was pulled out with an injury and later was retired from racing. Zayat announced last month that he had sold a partial interest in the horse to wine maker Jess Jackson. Proceeds from that already have been used to help pay down the loans.
Zayat has retained a significant share and breeding interests in Eskendereya, who is at Jackson's Stonestreet Farm in Lexington.
Zayat's stable, established in 2005, is one of the most successful in the country. As of Thursday, Zayat Stables was the second-leading owner in the country with more than $2.04 million in earnings in 2010, according to Equibase statistics. Last year, Zayat's Pioneerof the Nile finished second in the Kentucky Derby, and the stable made more than $6.3 million on the track alone.
"We have one of the best equine stables, and I'm going to continue to operate as I see fit and build on our success," Zayat said Thursday.
A representative of Fifth Third said the bank declined to comment on the settlement.
The settlement comes after a decision recently by bankruptcy Judge Donald H. Steckroth that called for creditors to vote on the reorganization plan, above the objections of Fifth Third.
The settlement also will end wrangling in U.S. District Court in Lexington, where Fifth Third had sued Zayat, alleging he defaulted on loans he had guaranteed personally. Fifth Third was later countersued on claims that the bank reneged on an agreement to restructure the loans, costing Zayat thousands in potential sales at Keeneland's 2009 auctions.
Tom Miller, a Lexington attorney whose specialties include equine law but who is not involved in the case, said the settlement is a positive for the industry, which has struggled during the recession.
"The industry has enough internal problems that neither the adverse publicity nor the infighting is good," Miller said, "and Mr. Zayat is one of the most successful racehorse owners, and we want him and others ... to continue to invest in them."

|Judgments -
Rees (Respondent) v Darlington Memorial Hospital NHS Trust (Appellants)
135. The inability of the owner of the unwanted foal to claim from the negligent vet the cost of rearing the foal seems to me to raise no particular difficulty or issue of principle. The difficulty produced by cases like McFarlane and the present case is because the originally unwanted progeny is a human being, not an animal, and because, for very deeply ingrained cultural and, for some, religious reasons, human life, whether that of babies, children, adults in the prime of life or the aged and whether normal or associated with disability, is regarded by society generally and by the law as uniquely precious and as incapable of valuation in monetary terms. And the relationship between the originally unwanted but, once born, loved and cherished baby and his or her parents and siblings cannot be put into any monetary scale of benefit and detriment.
136. Nonetheless it must be recognised that the parents' costs and expenses in looking after and providing for the originally unwanted baby until his or her maturity do result from the decision of the parent or parents to keep the child. If the parents decided, for example, to place the child with an adoption society with a view to adoption, they would not incur those costs and expenses. Nor would they incur them if, for whatever reason, the mother had had her unwanted pregnancy terminated. Most parents, I am sure, would not regard their decision to keep and rear their baby as representing a choice. It would seem to them inevitable that this is what they would have to do. The owner of the unwanted foal, they would say, has a true choice. There is no reason why he should keep the foal and if he decides to do so he must accept the adverse as well as the beneficial consequences of doing so. But the choice, if that is the right word, facing the parents of the originally unwanted baby is not comparable. For a mix of cultural, moral and religious reasons the parents of every baby are expected to accept a responsibility for the baby and its well being that has no parallel in the case of the unwanted foal. The law, indeed, reinforces these reasons with its own expectations of and duties imposed on parents in relation to the children born to them. It is, in my opinion, reasonable for parents who have produced an originally unwanted baby to say that they regard themselves as having had no choice but to keep the child as a member of their family and raise him or her to the best of their ability.
137. But this conclusion does not itself answer the question: why should the negligent doctor be liable for the economic consequences of the parents' decision to keep and rear the child, reasonable, praiseworthy and socially valuable though that decision no doubt was? As to causation, the doctor's negligence was undoubtedly a causa sine qua non of the costs in question and was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the pregnancy notwithstanding that it resulted from an independent decision of the parents to keep the child. And the pregnancy was the outcome the avoidance of which had been the reason for seeking the doctor's services. These considerations suggest that the answer to the question should favour the claimant.
138. But there are two further considerations which seem to me to be of importance and, in the end, determinative. First, there is no escaping that it is a feature of these cases that the expenses sought to be recovered from the negligent doctor have been, or will be, necessarily accepted by the parents of the child as the price to be paid for having the child as a member of their family. It has not been asserted by any parent in any of the cases to which your Lordships have been referred that the price was not worth paying. The value to the parents and the other family members of having the child as a member is not capable of valuation, either at a particular snapshot of chosen time or over the period until the child reaches maturity. Is it right to charge the defendant with the costs and expenses of providing the parents with something of unique value but incapable of valuation? The account of detriment and benefit, into which would go the costs of rearing the child on one side and, at least, the child benefit allowance on the other, would be incomplete without anything to represent the value of what was being acquired by the expenditure. The impossibility of drawing up a balance fair to both sides seems to me a strong argument why no balance should be drawn up at all. And, finally, the placing of a money value on the net detriment to the child's parents of having to rear the child would, it seems to me, be inconsistent with the status of the child as a valued and loved member of the family. I regard these considerations as having a weight that requires a departure from the conclusion to which the normal application of tortious damages rules would lead.
139. In McFarlane somewhat different reasons were given by different members of the Appellate Committee for concluding that the parents could not claim damages for the cost of rearing their healthy and much loved baby. I am not in disagreement with the reasons they expressed and have reached the same conclusion. In my opinion, however, it is important to recognise that the conclusion is not that which the normal application of established tortious damages principles would lead to. It is an exception based upon a recognition of the unique nature of human life, a uniqueness that our culture and society recognise and that the law, too, should recognise. It seems to me to be an acceptable irony that the conclusion is the same conclusion as that which would have been reached in the case of the unwanted foal, but reached by an entirely different route.
140. If I am right in concluding that the unanimous decision in McFarlane was correct and that the decision was not reached by applying normal principles of damages but by constructing an exception to those principles based upon a recognition of the uniqueness of every human being and, therefore, of every baby whether wanted or unwanted, the question then arises whether the present case falls within that exception.
141. The only relevant factual difference between McFarlane and the present case is that in the present case the mother is blind. Her blindness was the reason why she wanted a sterilisation operation to be performed on her. She doubted her ability to look after her baby if she were to bear one. But, due to the doctor's negligence, she did bear one and, on the footing that McFarlane bars her recovery as damages of the ordinary expenses of looking after her child, she seeks damages to reimburse herself for the extra costs she will incur on account of her blindness.
142. My Lords, in my opinion the mother's visual disability does not take the case out of the exception to normal principle established by McFarlane. Her baby, too, is a healthy and much loved baby. She has not said, and would not say, that her baby's presence in her household is not a joy and a delight. But it has caused her to incur expenses and will, no doubt, continue for some years to do so. However, all the features of McFarlane that justify creating an exception from normal principle are present, too, in this case. The mother need not have kept her baby but decided to do so. I do not imagine that she ever felt that she had a real choice. There is no doubt that her baby adds value to her life and that the value is not capable of assessment in monetary terms. A balance sheet of detriment and benefit caused by the doctor's negligence cannot be drawn up.
143. The majority in the Court of Appeal treated this case as justifying, on account of the mother's blindness, an exception to McFarlane. An exception to an exception is apt to produce messy jurisprudence and for all the reasons so cogently expressed by Waller LJ in his dissenting judgment in the Court of Appeal, the creation of an exception in the present case would lead to further exceptions. The exception that McFarlane constitutes is based on a recognition of the uniqueness of a human being. The principle on which McFarlane is based cannot be limited to the particular circumstances peculiar to that particular case and I do not think the mother's disability in the present case can justify a departure from the basis on which McFarlane was decided. I suspect that underlying the majority decision in the Court of Appeal lies the thought that McFarlane was wrong and a desire to limit its effect as much as possible. In my opinion, however, McFarlane was correctly decided and the basis of the decision should be applied in the present case.
144. I should mention Parkinson v St James and Seacroft University Hospital NHS Trust [2002] QB 266. In Parkinson a sterilisation operation on the claimant was negligently performed. As a result the claimant conceived when she thought, and hoped, she was unable to do so. She declined to have her pregnancy terminated although warned that the child might be born with a disability. The child was born with severe disabilities. The claimant claimed damages for negligence. The Court of Appeal, following McFarlane up to a point, held that she was entitled to recover damages for the costs of providing for her child's special needs relating to his disabilities but was not entitled to recover the basic costs of his ordinary maintenance.
145. The question how the McFarlane principle should be applied to a case in which the mother is healthy but the child is born with a disability is not one which needs to be resolved on this appeal. In my opinion, however, a distinction may need to be drawn between a case where the avoidance of the birth of a child with a disability is the very reason why the parent or parents sought the medical treatment or services to avoid conception that, in the event, were negligently provided and a case where the medical treatment or services were sought simply to avoid conception. Parkinson was a case in the latter category. In such a case, where the parents have had no particular reason to fear that if a child is born to them it will suffer from a disability, I do not think there is any sufficient basis for treating the expenses occasioned by the disability as falling outside the principles underlying McFarlane. The striking of the balance between the burden of rearing the disabled child and the benefit to the parents of the child as a member of their family seems to me as invidious and impossible as in the case of the child born without any disability.
146. Moreover, the immediate cause of the extra expenses is the child's disability, not the doctor's negligence. In Emeh v Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster Area Health Authority [1985] QB 1012 evidence was given to the effect that the chance of a baby being born with a congenital abnormality was between one in 200 and one in 400 (see Waller LJ at p 1019). Waller LJ's reference to this statistic was cited by Brooke LJ in Parkinson in support of his conclusion that the birth of a child with abnormalities was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the negligent failure to carry out a sterilisation operation successfully.
147. My Lords, I have some doubts about this conclusion. The possibility that a child may be born with a congenital abnormality is plainly present to some degree in the case of every pregnancy. But is that a sufficient reason for holding the negligent doctor liable for the extra costs, attributable to the abnormality, of rearing the child? In my opinion it is not. Foreseeability of a one in 200 to 400 chance does not seem to me, by itself, enough to make it reasonable to impose on the negligent doctor liability for these costs. It might be otherwise in a case where there had been particular reason to fear that if a child were conceived and born it might suffer from some inherited disability. And, particularly, it might be otherwise in a case where the very purpose of the sterilisation operation had been to protect against that fear. But on the facts of Parkinson I do not think the Court of Appeal's conclusion was consistent with McFarlane.
148. For the reasons I have given I would allow this appeal. But, like my noble and learned friends Lord Bingham of Cornhill and Lord Millett, I am not sure that the recovery by the respondent of nothing for the frustration of her expectation that her sterilisation operation would safeguard her against conception satisfies justice. She was owed a duty of care in the carrying out of the operation. She was entitled to the benefit of the doctor's contractual obligation to his NHS employers to carry out the operation with due care. It is open to the court to put a monetary value on the expected benefit of which she was, by the doctor's negligence, deprived (c/f Farley v Skinner [2002] 2 AC 732). I would respectfully agree with Lord Bingham's suggestion that she be awarded £15,000. So I, too, while allowing the appeal, would substitute an award of £15,000 as a conventional sum to compensate the respondent for being deprived of the benefit that she was entitled to expect.

Friday Nov. 17, 2017
Note: Our Saturday tasting (Nov. 18th) will feature Wine Traditions French Cider instead of the usual beer. These ciders are so good with Thanksgiving, it seemed like a good route to go.
Same time, 3PM-6PM!
And here is today's line up~
Hugues Godmé, Reserve 1er Cru Brut (NV)
Hugues Godmé represents the 5th generation to farm and make wine on his 11 hectare family estate in Verzenay. Although this area is dominated by Pinot Noir, Godmé cultivates Chardonnay on more than half of his holdings, with a balance of 30% Pinot Noir on his Grand-Cru certified sites, and the remaining 20% is Pinot Meunier. Godmé works biodynamically, and gained organic certification in 2013. Fermentation is with natural yeast (when possible) in enamel-lined tanks and/or oak, such as with this champagne. No fining or filtration.
Godmé Reserve 1er Cru Brut uses a very high proportion of reserve wines, somewhere around 50%, and usually from the previous two to three vintages, adding depth and richness. The Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier come through as vibrant dashes of red fruit on a round and creamy chardonnay base. This is a lovely, lively, aromatic champagne that finishes with great length and finesse.
Alberto Nanclares Rías Baixas Dandelion Albariño 2016
Alberto Nanclares was an economist before he was a winemaker. A native of Basque Country, he left the region and his career behind in 1992, settling in the seaside parish of Castrelo, in close proximity to Cambados, a village well-known for Albariño wines. As luck would have it, the house that Alberto purchased came with a a little bit of vineyard land. At first he farmed this conventionally, but quickly turned away from this in favor of organic and biodynamic farming, a rarity here because of the humid conditions that can lead to viticultural difficulties. Alberto now farms 12 small plots across 2.5 hectares, all trained in the pergola-style (to increase airflow and reduce the chance of fungal conditions). Yields are very low, about half of what the DO Rías Baixas permits. Alberto uses seaweed from the nearby ocean for compost, and doesn't plow in order to maintain and promote the natural flora and fauna. All the wines are fermented with yeasts from their respective vineyards.
Dandelion is a beautiful, salty, and sun-shiny Albariño. It's from 30-60 year old vines from multiple plots in and around Cambados, planted on sandy soil over granite. Albariño is a naturally high acid grape, and Alberto embraces this; some in the DO will add potassium in order to soften the wine, but Alberto prefers the raciness of the grape. Most of his wines don't undergo malolactic fermentation, but they do spend quite some time on the lees, often more than a year, giving the wine textural complexity and a long finish. Very little SO2 is used, mostly a dash at bottling, and wines are bottled without filtering or fining.
Domaine les Capreoles, Regnie Chamodère 2016
Notes from the importer: When Cédric Lecareux and his wife Catherine, native of Beaujolais, discovered the property, it was love at first sight. Located in Regnie-Durette, the wine estate, steeped in history for more than 250 years, charmed them with its old stones and ancient arched cellars. With an existing winery and 3.5 hectares of old Gamay vines surrounding the house, everything was there for them to combine their wine project and family life. They took the plunge and made their first vintage in 2014. Two years later, they bought an additional 2 ha of vines. A trained agronomist and oenologist, Cedric spent nearly 15 years working in the wine business before achieving his dream. Everything he does is hands on and natural; the results are purely-fruited, fresh Beaujolais that remarkably express all the richness of their exceptional terroir. Total production is around 2,500 cases.
The word "Capréoles" comes from the Old French and means vine tendrils. Cédric and Catherine chose this name for all it symbolizes: the reference to History and Tradition, the natural support allowing vertical growth of the vine but also the idea of the relationship they want to establish with those who appreciate their work.
Farming/vinification practices: in conversion to organic, will soon be certified. The wines are vegan. The grapes can be destemmed, depending on the years. Open tank fermentation, no pumping over, vinification as natural as possible but always with control – little SO2 added, only after malolactic in tanks.
Shiba-Wichern Willamette Cuvée Pinot Noir 2014
Akiko Shiba is a young Japanese winemaker who trained in Germany, and is now making gorgeous wine in Oregon. She was originally wanted to be a journalist and report on the world of alcohol; when she got out of college she worked as an editor for about two years at a culinary magazine called "Ou-sama no Kitchen" (The King's Kitchen). At the same time that the magazine folded, Akiko's husband got a job in Germany, so she moved their with him. She ended up working at a bar and getting very immersed in German beer. She began studying beer, but chance and circumstance led her to oenology school; the rest, as they say, is history.
Willamette Cuvée is a blend of pinot noir from three vineyards, here described by the producer: "Mild red and black fruits from the Havlin Vineyard, smells of summer-forest and black tea from Barrett Hill Vineyard and powerful dark fruits and spices from Eola Springs Vineyard all play well together to make the Willamette Cuvée complex, but not muddled. As the wine breathes the character continues to expand and present more depth."
Willamette Cuvée was blended after barrel aging in 12% new French Oak for a little over 18 months and has been in the bottle since May 1st, 2016.
*Honorable mention wine we really want to taste, but we've maxed out at four:
Adega Eloi Lorenzo, Ribeiro Blanco Villa Paz (2015)
Javier Monsalve is farmer and winemaker at this small winery in Galicia, started by his grandfather Eloi Lorenzo, in 1976. Javier farms his 5 hectares organically and biodynamically; most of his vines are planted on high altitude terraced slopes, and on soils made up mostly of granite, upon which Treixadura thrives. This wine is a blend of Treixadura, Albariño, Godello, and Torrontés. It's soft, easy, aromatic, and perfect for sipping while cheffing up feasts. And it's called House of Peace, so that's extra points right there.

Show them that you know what that their job involves (at least as much as you could learn from the job description and company website), and that you're excited to be interviewing for this position.
"I've been actively searching for jobs since graduating with my Nursing degree. I'm interested in intensive care and emergency medicine and I've seen your hospital mentioned as having one of the best ER's in the region. I thought the job description matched up well with my background, and saw some of my personal strengths mentioned, like multitasking and being able to thrive in a fast paced environment, so I'd love to begin my career here."
This is one of the most popular interview question and answer examples people look for, because it's extremely common to hear AND difficult to answer. Here's how to handle it:
Keep it professional when answering the question of "
AllhqFashion Womens Soft Material Round Closed Toe Solid LowTop HighHeels Boots Red Y5Jwb
". You don't need to share personal details.
To answer, walk them through your background, starting at how you began your career or your current line of work. Take them through key accomplishments, key career moves you've made, and end by sharing what you're looking to do next in your career and why you're job hunting.
"I started my career in Marketing after graduating with a Business degree in 2013. I've spent my entire career at Microsoft, receiving two promotions and three awards for outstanding performance. I'm looking to join a smaller company now, and take on more leadership and project management."
There are a lot of good answers to this interview question. There isn't just one "right" answer. Here are some guidelines:
If you chose to leave on your own terms, stay positive and focus on what you wanted to gain from the decision, rather than bad-mouthing or focusing on negatives you wanted to avoid.
And if you were fired or laid off, be upfront and clear. You're not going to make employers want to hire you by being vague or trying to hide something.
If you got fired, show what you've learned from the experience, and what you've done to make sure this doesn't happen again. That's how to spin it into a positive.
"I was hired for a project management role, but over time that changed and I was no longer being given the opportunity to do the work I was interested in. I left to pursue an opportunity that I felt was more aligned with what I've chosen to focus on in my career."

F riedrich von Hayek, the preeminent theorist of laissez-faire, called the "knowledge problem" an insuperable barrier to central planning. Knowledge about the price of supplies and labor, and consumers' ability and willingness to pay, is so scattered and protean that even the wisest authorities cannot access all of it. No person knows everything about how goods and services in an economy should be priced. No central decision-maker can grasp the idiosyncratic preferences, values, and purchasing power of millions of individuals. That kind of knowledge, Hayek said, is distributed.
In an era of artificial intelligence and mass surveillance, however, the possibility of central planning has reemerged—this time in the form of massive firms. Having logged and analyzed billions of transactions, Amazon knows intimate details about all its customers and suppliers. It can carefully calibrate screen displays to herd buyers toward certain products or shopping practices, or to copy sellers with its own, cheaper, in-house offerings. Mark Zuckerberg aspires to omniscience of consumer desires, by profiling nearly everyone on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and then leveraging that data trove to track users across the web and into the real world (via mobile usage and device fingerprinting). You don't even have to use any of those apps to end up in Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp files—profiles can be assigned to you. Google's "database of intentions" is legendary, and antitrust authorities around the world have looked with increasing alarm at its ability to squeeze out rivals from search results once it gains an interest in their lines of business. Google knows not merely what consumers are searching for, but also what other businesses are searching, buying, emailing, planning—a truly unparalleled matching of data-processing capacity to raw communication flows.
Nor is this logic limited to the online context. Concentration is paying dividends for the largest banks (widely assumed to be too big to fail), and major health insurers (now squeezing and expanding the medical supply chain like an accordion). Like the digital giants, these finance and insurance firms not only act as middlemen, taking a cut of transactions, but also aspire to capitalize on the knowledge they have gained from monitoring customers and providers in order to supplant them and directly provide services and investment. If it succeeds, the CVS-Aetna merger betokens intense corporate consolidations that will see more vertical integration of insurers, providers, and a baroque series of middlemen (from pharmaceutical benefit managers to group purchasing organizations) into gargantuan health providers. A CVS doctor may eventually refer a patient to a CVS hospital for a CVS surgery, to be followed up by home health care workers employed by CVS who bring CVS pharmaceuticals—all covered by a CVS/Aetna insurance plan, which might penalize the patient for using any providers outside the CVS network. While such a panoptic firm may sound dystopian, it is a logical outgrowth of health services researchers' enthusiasm for "integrated delivery systems," which are supposed to provide "care coordination" and "wraparound services" more efficiently than America's current, fragmented health care system.

St. Luke's Hospital Foundation was established in October 1991, to raise funds for projects designed to enhance the delivery of high-quality healthcare to St. Luke's service area. Please visit our Website here.
Funds are used to make significant facility improvements, purchase clinical and diagnostic equipment, and increase the Foundation's endowment through planned giving.
Past fundraising projects have included renovating 33 patient rooms in 2002 and 2003 and upgrading the Emergency Department in 2004. In 2005, funds were raised for an Automated Medication Dispensing System, which has helped reduce medication errors. In 2006, the Foundation raised $250,000 for a new Registration and Emergency Waiting Area at the rear entrance of the hospital. During 2007, $275,000 was raised to digitize Mammography at St. Luke's. Beginning in 2008, the Foundation undertook Excellence in Care to upgrade patient care and surgical equipment at the hospital as well as address Information Services infrastructure. During the first year of the Excellence in Care campaign, significant grant amounts were received primarily in support of Dr. Rosenberg's orthopedic efforts and renovations/upgrades to surgical suites and equipment. The Cannon Foundation granted $50,000 for orthopedic upgrades. Additional awards also provided support for new equipment in our Physical and Occupational therapy unit and we received a Government HCOF grant of $235,600 to support our Information Technology (IT) systems.
The 2010 Building on Excellence awards reflected major support from the Duke Endowment for Electronic Medical Records and grants from the Polk County Community Foundation to purchase 6 Computers on Wheels. An additional $8,500 was received from the Incumbent Workforce Training Program to support IT training for many of St. Luke's employees.
In FY-2011, $76,054 was raised by the Foundation for multiple projects, including the purchase of approximately 45 personal computers, 6 new hospital beds, and an Omnicell® supply system for our surgical suites. We also purchased 10 recycling bins for placement throughout the hospital and raised funds for conference travel and continuing education for staff and physicians. The Foundation also received funds for Parish Nursing community outreach activities.
St. Luke's received over $275,000 in grant funding during FY-2012. The most important event of 2012 was unquestionably groundbreaking for the hospital's new post-surgical and rehabilitative therapies wing. Our Building on Excellence 2012 Capital Campaign committed two million dollars toward the construction of the six-bed, 6.1 million dollar, 15,000 square foot addition, designed with a patient- and family-centric approach to medical care. Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF) funded a MRSA analyzer for our lab to reduce turnaround time for blood analysis from 36 hours to less than two. Thanks to a two-year award from The Duke Endowment, we are developing the Western North Carolina Telemedicine project, linking St. Luke's Hospital with the Saluda Medical Center and Polk Wellness Center. This year's Small Hospital Improvement Program grant enabled us to purchase new physical therapy equipment and the annual Ache Around the Lake 8k race provided funds to upgrade and renovate the Center of Behavioral Medicine, our 10-bed geriatric psychiatry unit. Funds were used to paint, install new flooring in the nurses' station and main hallway, and make general repairs and other enhancements throughout the Center.
FY-2013 has been another productive year for Foundation grants despite a marked decline in general grant opportunities, primarily due to the economy. In October 2012, Spartanburg Regional Hospital donated a new defibrillator to our Emergency Department and, in November, PCCF provided funds for conference travel and continuing education for staff. St. Luke's received second year funding of $70,000 from The Duke Endowment to continue development of the Western North Carolina Telemedicine Program. We recently applied for an additional two years to expand the geographic region covered by this project and include telepsychiatry and other medical specialties to the list of available services. Home Depot in Spartanburg generously donated $1,000 in paint and miscellaneous supplies to help renovate the geriatric psychiatry department (in addition to almost $30,000 in 2012 Ache Around the Lake funding) and Stonecutter Foundation provided $1,000 in unrestricted grant funds. We also received $1,500 from the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce toward purchase of a new blanket warmer for St. Luke's. Our Building on Excellence campaign received two major donations for naming opportunities in our new post-surgical wing. One was from the Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF) and another from the Ann L Turner & Geoffrey M Tennant Foundation. In addition, St. Luke's received $50,000 from the Cannon Foundation to support construction of the new wing. PCCF provided grant funds for three professional conferences for St. Luke's staff and a Planning Grant for the Foundation. 2013 marked the first year of a two-year Lean Training program awarded by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. First year funding was $50,000 and we recently received another award of $50,000 for Year 2 funding.
The December opening of our new, post-surgical wing was a major success and was well received by the community. The Small Hospital Improvement Program (SHIP) grant enabled us to purchase new physical therapy equipment and the 2013 Ache Around the Lake 8k race provided funds to support the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Lab at St. Luke's. Funding helped cover the costs of a simulated kitchen, tub, shower, curb, and motor vehicle, as well as support other projects throughout the ADL Lab.
The Foundation has several giving societies: the Palmer & Jervey Society (gifts of $1,000 to $4,999); The Society of 1972 (gift from $5,000 to $9,999); the Society of 1928 (gifts of $10,000 and above); and the Heritage Society ("bequest" society). The Foundation has its own endowment, separate from the hospital's investments, into which all bequests are placed.
The full board meets 6 times a year—January, March, May, July, September, and November—on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 5:00pm in the new Foundation Office. New Trustees take office at the annual meeting in January.

Canadian R&B star The Weeknd has reportedly donated $250,000 (£192,160) to the Black Lives Matter movement.
The Can't Feel My Face hitmaker appears to be in a giving mood as he also recently handed over $50,000 (£38,420) to bosses at the Bikila Award organisation, who are launching a new Ethiopic Studies program at the University of Toronto in the singer's hometown.
The Weeknd, whose parents are Ethiopian, has yet to comment on his generous gift to the Black Lives Matter group, which advocates for racial justice, particularly in light of a spate of African-American deaths at the hands of police in controversial encounters across the U.S.
However, he has previously made his feelings clear following the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, who were fatally shot by cops in separate incidents last month (Jul16).
"Enough is enough," he tweeted at the time. "it's time to stand up for this. we can either sit and watch, or do something about it. the time is now. #blacklivesmatter."
The Weeknd also reposted messages from fellow activists John Legend and filmmaker Michael Moore, who heaped praise on the Black Lives Matter protesters who had staged demonstrations in various U.S. cities, demanding justice for Sterling and Castile.
The singer isn't the only star to donate to the Black Lives Matter organisation - Jay Z cut a $1.5 million (£1.15 million) cheque earlier this year (16), after raising the funds through his Tidal streaming service, which is co-owned by his wife Beyonce, Usher, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, and Madonna, among others.
Jay Z and Beyonce also reportedly put up bail money for numerous protesters in Baltimore, Maryland last year (15) after they clashed with cops in demonstrations following the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray, who died while in police custody.

Hidden Treasures…In Plain Sight
The Luis Quintanilla Frescos in Haag Hall
Luis Quintanilla was a man of contrasts. He came from a long line of aristocrats, but he was a member of Spain's Socialist Workers Party. He was a famous Spanish artist who led a battery of pro-Republic soldiers in defense of Madrid against the fascists.
In the late 1930s, General Francisco Franco's oppressive regime forced Quintanilla to flee Spain for New York.
After completing a fresco-painting commission at the World's Fair
in New York, Quintanilla accepted an appointment as University of
Kansas City's first artist-in-residence and moved to Kansas City in
As part of the arrangement with UKC, which worked in cooperation with Rockefeller Foundation's Committee for Displaced Scholars and Artists, Quintanilla agreed to paint a mural at the University.
The Spanish artist used UKC faculty, staff and students as models for his frescos, entitled, "Don Quixote in the Modern World," a theme suggested by Dr. Clarence Decker, UKC President. Painted on the second floor of Haag Hall, the murals comprise six panels, covering 375 square feet of wall space.
Despite the fact that well-established American artists like Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood visited Quintanilla while he worked on the murals and praised the finished paintings, his work caused a controversy. Local response was voluble and varied: admiration, ridicule, puzzlement and shock.
In his book about the university, A Place of Light, Decker recalled an incident about one local resident who strongly disapproved of the Quintanilla's murals:
"…Studying them one night after a lecture, a woman said, `Dr. Decker, I love the University, come here often for lectures and concerts, but how long do I have to put up with those monstrosities I encounter every time I pass through this lobby?'
"`I'll tell you what we'll do,' [Decker] replied. `If you will give the University one million dollars, I'll consider having them removed. If you give us two million dollars, I'll mention the offer to the Board of Trustees. But if you give us three million dollars, I'll demand that the Trustees order me to have them taken out and stored for a generation that will appreciate them.'
"Incredulous, the woman asked, `Do you mean that you really think they are worth three million dollars?'
"`I don't know what their actual market value is today, [said Decker] but I am sure they will be priceless some future day'."
Today, the Quintanilla murals are indeed one of the many priceless treasures at this 75-year-old institution.
In addition to their merits as works of art, Quintanilla's murals in Haag Hall are all the more valuable because of their rarity. On a trip to Spain, Quintanilla learned that all of his art work, except for a few war drawings, had been destroyed either during the Civil War or afterwards by the Franco regime. The artist's home and library were also destroyed, including his masterpiece, the eleven murals of the Pablo Iglesias Memorial in Madrid. UMKC's six fresco panels of "Don Quixote in the Modern World" are one of few major, extant Quintanilla paintings.

The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) today announced its 2012-2013 Executive Committee as voted by APTA members.
The new chair of APTA is Flora M. Castillo, Board Member of the New Jersey Transit Corporation in Newark, NJ. Castillo is APTA's first Latina chair. Appointed by the governor to the NJ TRANSIT Board in 1999, she has been reappointed by three governors and currently chairs the NJ TRANSIT Customer Service, Safety and Security Committee, and oversees a combined capital and operating budget of nearly $3 billion. Castillo succeeds Gary C. Thomas, President/Executive Director, Dallas Area Rapid Transit of Dallas, TX.
"Public transportation was an important lifeline for my family when I was young growing up in El Salvador. That is one of the reasons I am so passionate about public transportation, the people it serves, and the employees who keep the systems operating," said Castillo. "A key APTA initiative in the next year will be the development of the next generation of public transportation leaders and workers so that we are prepared to meet the growing demand for public transit in the future."
Peter Varga, chief executive officer of the Interurban Transit Partnership (The Rapid) in Grand Rapids, MI, is the new vice chair, and Doran J. Barnes, executive director of Foothill Transit in West Covina, CA, is the new secretary-treasurer.

Skills Canada News
Skills Canada 2017
Keaton Rich is 2nd in the Country!
Participating in Skills Canada is no small feat. In many competitions there are qualifiers to compete in local regions, near north region, just to qualify for the Ontario round and then you have to win the provincial competition to go to the Canadian round. Keaton Rich was able to make it to the Canadian round in Winnipeg for 2017 Skills competition. This does not happen without a lot of hard work. His skills journey all started in grade 10 where Keaton showed both talent and a keen interest in the machining trade learning the basics in machining. In grade 11 he started training for the skills competitions and achieved a second place at the Ontario round. This result gave him both confidence and a renewed effort for 2017 Skills competitions. His efforts were not the result of simply taking a course but rather effort placed outside of classes as he practiced and learned extended skills. Keaton has many natural talents. He is a mechanical thinker with good math and problem solving skills. These traits serve him well to accelerate his learning in this precision machining trade. Keaton's hard work paid off with a silver in precision machining at the biggest skills event in Canada.
There are many people who effected his performance on the national level. It starts at home with great parents, Rob and Charlotte who honed Keaton's good work ethic and supported his dreams. Keaton's problem solving and math skills are honed by his teachers at Sacred Heart, true professionals who take the time to bring out a student's talents for the future.

Skills Ontario - Midland Results 2017
second round of skills for the welders was in Midland this past weekend. The
competitors from Near North (Huntsville to Guelph and Forest to Lindsay) were
all bidding for a place in the top three to advance to the Ontario round May
1-3. The level of skill was ramped up as all the competitors had to qualify at
earlier regional rounds. Sacred Heart had three welders who qualified from Owen
Sound regional skills qualifier. Christian Glass, Nick Kieswetter and Jake
Spitzig were all in the shop last week honing their skills. Former skill
competitors, Brett Waetcher and Craig Klein came back to pass on some tips and
tricks for our three qualifiers to the event. The part had several challenging
welds including overhead and several multiple pass welds using various welding
techniques. All three made huge improvements in the last few weeks and any one
of them could qualify. As per the rules however no more than one student per
board and only if they place in the top three at the competition. So first you
have to be in the top three and then beat all your teammates. When the weld
smoke cleared in Midland, Jake Spitzig was sitting in second and will be
representing Sacred Heart High School at the Ontario round. Congratulations to
all the welders this year on a job well done and good luck to Jake as he
continues to prepare for the Ontario round.

Skills Canada – Owen Sound Competition 2017
Skills Canada is a competition that showcases
the skills in the trades for secondary and post-secondary divisions. Students
are placed head to head with students from other districts and locals across
the country to show both their knowledge and hands on skills in a multitude of
disciplines. On Friday last week 9 students went up to Georgian College in Owen
Sound for the first qualifier of the Skills Canada Competition. Sacred Heart sent students in three
disciplines this year to this first round. In Small engines Cole Black and
Tanner Meyer had to diagnose and repair several errors in electrical, fuel and
mechanical areas. In Precision machining Keaton Rich, Everett Grubb and Kyle
had to use produce parts to specifications on the lathe and the milling
machine. In welding Nick Kieswetter, Christian Glass, Jake Spitzig and Elijah
Warner had to fabricate a complicated part using blueprint reading skills and
stick and mig multi-positional welding techniques.
All of
the competitors did their bests and showcased the awesome programs within the
walls of SHHS.
The results were outstanding and several of the
team achieving top three finishes. Keaton Rich and Everett Grubb came first and
second in precision machining and Jake Spitzig achieve a 3rd in
Welding. With hot young guns Elijah Warner and Kyle Hammel in grades 9 and 10
impressing the judges Sacred Heart will have a strong team for years to come.
Our next round, this Saturday in Barrie, will
consist of the 3 qualifying welders in attendance. Jake Spitzig, Nick
Kieswetter and Christian Glass will touch up their skills this week and be
ready for round 2.
Keaton Rich has qualified for the provincial
competition on May 2nd
Congrats to all the skills competitors!
Skills Canada 2016
This has been an extraordinary year for those students who participated in the Skills Canada competitions. From the preliminary challenges through to the Ontario finals the team put in tremendous effort. The effort this year was put into overdrive with a few weeks preceding the Ontario round of Skills Canada. Learning from the previous competitions, Keaton Rich worked on speed as well as ideas to improve accuracy in precision machining. Craig Klein spent lunches, evenings and extra days practicing various forms of welding. He had welding mentors from previous years helping with different techniques and has benefitted by the pay it forward system. The CNC router competition had a challenge of no previous history. Dalton Goetz, who took on the CNC router challenge, put in a huge effort to not only learn the art of designing in a CAD package but also programming and operating the CNC router. Dalton spent many late nights running the CNC router and adjusting programs to suit his vision. All those who competed captured the essence of competing in Skills. They not only became much more knowledgeable in their respected classes they seen the results from their efforts. At the Ontario round they all certainly did their personal best. Craig's welds were impressive and challenged the top welders in the province. Dalton's plaque was very elaborate and utilized many programming techniques. Keaton Rich skills in the precision machining had a very difficult milling and lathe project with tolerances less than the human hair. Keaton led the way with a silver medal in precision machining and will be back next year aiming for another podium finish.SHHS thanks Mr. McCormick for all of your mentoring and extra effort spent with these students, as well as Mrs. Cowe and Ms. Liefl.

Billington competed in the computerized numerical control to design a part and
program a CNC machine. Matt Vansickle competed in precision machining to make a
part using an engine lathe and milling machine to tolerances of less than a
couple of hairs. They all preformed amazing making great products.
The next
morning we went to the awards and all were excited and nervous to hear the
results. Matt Vansickle led the competitors from Sacred Heart with an
outstanding bronze medal. No small feat for competing against the best of secondary
schools province wide. All were better for the experience as we look forward to
next year's challenges and the opportunity to represent Sacred Heart.
The first round at skills was a huge success
for Sacred Heart, with several podium positions. The group all performed well
up in Owen Sound on March 27. Some moved directly to the Ontario round May 4-6
while the welders, small engine and culinary all needed to move on to the next
qualifying round in Barrie April 18. Each round gets more competitive and after
the qualifiers we have 3 competitors heading to the Ontario round.
Congratulations to all the students who challenged themselves to compete and
become more advanced in the various areas of study. Excellent work!!!

Skills Canada 2014
Congratulations to all the skills competitors this year. In welding we were represented by Simon Durrer, Erik Baks and Brett Waechter. In precision machining Craig Meyer and Ben Klages represented a really strong showing. Danielle Gutzke and Dan Walter are competing in computer aided manufacturing and the computer aided design. Small engine competitor was Matt Schmidt. From the qualifiers there are four competitors who have qualified for the Ontario round of the Skills Canada competitions from the manufacturing sector. Only one student per board can be awarded this honor and only if they are in the top three of the near north division and also achieving set standards. This is no small feat and showcases the skills of these students and the diversity within the tech programs at the Heart.
Best of luck to Danielle, Craig, Dan and Brett in the Ontario round at Rim Park on May 6!
Congrats to all the competitors on an outstanding performance showing that they have learned the skills to put them on top in the area!

The art of glass is often elusive and always luminous.
Elusive because it can break easily, and luminous because of the sheer beauty it creates when it mixes with light.
But even with its fragility, the irresistible incandescence of glass art makes it worth the risk, a fact discovered by Whidbey artist Meredith MacLeod and Lopez Island artist Janis Miltenberger years ago when they were learning the art of glass.
More than 20 years have passed since the two artists met and became fast friends while assisting at the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, the largest educational center in the world for artists working in glass.
Now, having become accomplished glass artists themselves, they present their work together in a show entitled "Feathered Friends" opening at MUSEO on Saturday, Aug. 2.
"We are close friends and have a compatible aesthetic sense," Miltenberger said.
Miltenberger said she respects MacLeod's integrity as a designer, her sharp eye for color and balance.
"I am often drawn to what she makes and how she makes it," she said.
In contrast, she said she looks at her own work as a composite, put together intuitively like a cook who adds bits of various flavors until it tastes right. She said she doesn't always get it just as she imagined, but it works out better that way.
"I often look back at my work and realize that what it says to me, what it displays is very right and much more truthful, almost naked. This is what I am going for: chapters spread out to read and respond to," she said.
Miltenberger will show both functional and decorative lamp-worked candle holders, pairs of floral goblets, some sculptural pedestal pieces and some glass wall art.
If there is a theme for the show, she said it is her and MacLeod's friendship and their mutual love of nature.
"We are both drawn to the vocabulary of nature and the meaning that the images bring up in the viewer," Miltenberger said.
Indeed, the colors and shapes of nature play into both these artists' work.
Miltenberger is guided by a bit of whimsy, with the exquisitely delicate orange and green lily-stemmed goblets that one could imagine gracing the tables of the most fashionable partygoers of the 1920s, while still remaining modern.
Her wall pieces, which take decidedly thoughtful titles such as "Origin," "Purpose" and "Reason," combine the colors and shapes found on the forest floor with the theatricality of myth.
Like her fellow artist, MacLeod's newest work reflects that same love of the natural world.
Employing her passion for printmaking and the skills of a glass tile maker, she has created a series of decorative works that include intricately designed wallpaper-like monoprints, mixed-media prints and glass panels.
By silk screening or stamping high- fire enamels onto the surface of glass, shadows are cast onto a painting underneath, creating a space that is designed to draw in the viewer. She also layers the color and shapes from carved rubber stamps, simulating a textile or wallpaper monoprint.
MacLeod's work features patterns of birds, plant-life and geometric designs that, like Miltenberger's work, manage to combine the feel of retro design with her own modern sensibilities.
Looking at the work, it makes sense that MacLeod said she likes to look at bird books from the 1950s, old textile pattern books and fabrics from the '30s.
"My goal is to evoke an interest in something old that can recast itself as new," she said.
Gallery owner Sandra Jarvis said MacLeod is a favorite of gallery clients, and has frequent shows at MUSEO.
"With her superb printmaking skills and unerring eye for color, she produces works that can be easily integrated into collections," Jarvis said.
Miltenberger is another nationally recognized glass artist (apart from the horde who also happen to live on this island) that Jarvis has long admired and is excited to stage at MUSEO for the first time.
"Clients like to see new names and new techniques in glass," Jarvis said.
"Janis' work is sure to delight, with her beautifully crafted flame-worked pieces."
Both artists are looking forward to the show at the beloved gallery; MacLeod for its familiarity and Miltenberger for the excellent surprises that such intimate galleries reveal.
"Imagine being a visitor to the island and running across such a neat gallery," Miltenberger said.
"I love being a part of MUSEO," MacLeod added.
"It gives me a sense of community, and I am proud to be considered a working artist among the great talent we have on this island."
The show runs 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 2 through Sunday, Aug. 31. An artists' reception is from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday.
MUSEO is at 215 First St. in Langley. Call 221-7737 for info.

OK, let's be honest, before you bite into Dominique Ansel's world famous cronut, you're going to at least consider snapping a photo first. If you're an Instagram user, that likely means uploading it for all your friends to see. Perhaps second only to selfies, food photos are the go to that just come with the territory of having an account.
So, it should come as no surprise that Instagram just revealed the 10 best restaurants in the U.S., based on what its users geo-tagged the most in 2015.
Dessert spots seem to be particularly popular on the platform. That makes sense though, right? Desserts are not only especially exciting, but vibrant, colorful, and extremely photogenic.

The one asset that can change the world. The US Dollar. A jump in value of the US Dollar would change company revenues in the US dramatically. This means stocks down, this means recession and not a small one.
Cycles are cycles, and they are bullish for the US dollar. Price action is beginning to confirm the cycle. We do not have a classic Wyckoff break out just yet, but we are seeing signs of strength. This is the real reason for stocks falling 15% last month. Euro zone mess, Germany's possible exit from the EU zone, who knows. If you have been investing for the last 2 years and have profits time to go on a 12 month fishing trip and forget about the markets. Or ! Trade the US Dollar rally over the next year.
We believe the game has changed from offense to defense. QE from the fed will only create monthly dips in the US Dollar rally as the Euro zone implodes.

UN chief to visit hurricane-ravaged Haiti
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will visit hurricane-ravaged Haiti on Saturday.
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric announced Thursday that Ban will meet with communities affected by Hurricane Matthew as well as government officials and humanitarian workers.
The U.N. chief is also expected to visit the city of Les Cayes, one of the hardest-hit areas, with provisional President Jocelerme Privert, he said.
Dujarric appealed to donors to contribute to the $120 million U.N. appeal to help hurricane victims, saying only 5 percent of the funds have been received.
The Haitian government says more than 1.4 million people urgently need humanitarian assistance.
The official death toll is 473, though local officials have reported figures suggesting it will eventually be higher, and the homes of more than 120,000 families were damaged or destroyed.

The THON Factor: Second Variety Show
Shortly after 10 a.m., the second part to the Children's Variety Hour kicked off to a very large, enthusiastic crowd in the BJC.
Dani Otstott started the hour surrounded by her THON committee, singing her own rendition of Carly Rae Jepsen and Owl City's "Good Time." She was wearing a giraffe headband, and rocked her performance. After Dani, her sister Ashley, danced to a mix of *NSYNC songs, even incorporating some of the "Bye Bye Bye" music video choreography into her routine.
Bryan Weinsheimer followed the sisters, performing the smash hit, "Home" by Phillip Phillips. He did a fantastic job getting up on the stage and singing his heart out!
Katie Bush followed Bryan, performing an incredibly moving rendition of Miley Cyrus' "I Miss You," bursting out into tears at one point. She was surrounded by a loving embrace, which helped her performance grow stronger. After Katie, her little sister Sydney sang her own version of everybody's favorite Carly Rae Jepsen hit, "Call Me Maybe."
Tucker and Taylor Haas took to the stage after the Bush sisters, performing Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj's newest single, "Beauty and the Beat." The crowd absolutely adored their performance, and Tucker and Taylor finished their song to a boom of applause from the audience.
Jacob and Ella Trimble showed off their wicked awesome hula hoop tricks, looking absolutely adorable.
After the Trimble siblings, Dylan Moser sang Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," with some serious spunk and swag. "Cancer…we are NEVER EVER EVER getting back together!"
Following Dylan's swag-tastic performance, a group of THON families, as well as some staff members from Hershey Med, sang and danced to Phillip Phillips' "Home." They sang about the Four Diamonds Fund, thanking them for all of their work.
A trio of girls followed Dylan's performance, singing One Direction's "That's What Makes You Beautiful." At the end of their performance, they, like so many of the children performing before them, shouted out a "WE ARE!" chant.
The variety hour is always one of the favorite parts of THON, and neither of the two this year disappointed.

This Year Made Me Take My Reproductive Health Much More Seriously
It's never too late!
Here in Chicago, the winter months are dark times. It's cold and the sun seems like a bored socialite, slipping away from the party early and sleeping late. In other words, this is when S.A.D.--seasonal affective disorder--sets in. This year, I met with a doctor to see what I could do to improve my winter mood. Here's what I learned.
Seasonal Affective Disorder is depression related to seasonal changes. Approximately 10 to 20 percent of people have a mild form of S.A.D., and of the people diagnosed, three out of four of those individuals are women. There are typically two seasonal types of S.A.D., fall on-set or "winter depression," the most commonly reported, and spring-onset or "summertime sadness."
Symptoms of fall on-set S.A.D. typically include:
Doctor Recommended Treatments for S.A.D.
The following are the top treatments for S.A.D.:
What I'm Trying
My doctor has highly recommended light-box therapy, which I am very willing to try. However, light boxes can be pretty pricey, about $100 to $300, depending on the size and the style, so I'll have to save up for this treatment--or just move to the equator, whichever comes first.

Merck naming troubles continue
Same-name problems continue to plague US-based and Germany-based Mercks. Bloomberg reports that while confusion has been an ongoing concern since the companies split in the early 20th century, a recent protest by the StopAIDS group is further proof that a different home base is not enough for activists to go on.
The latest problem is that activists protested the German Merck, known as Merck KGaA, in front of which they pitched a complaint against its move to block low-cost copies of patented drugs from flowing into South Africa, but the company that is actually involved is the Merck which has headquarters in New Jersey.

London, Nov 24 (IANS) Actress Michelle Williams is to receive an award at the forthcoming Palm Springs International Film Festival in January.
The actress will receive the Desert Palm Achievement Actress Award at a special gala event Jan 7.
"Every generation, the cinema has a few performers who mesmerize audiences with an exceptional blend of talent, versatility and grace," contactmusic.com quoted festival chairman Harold Matzner as saying.
"Williams epitomises these qualities as she continues to accept challenging role after challenging role. In her latest work, 'My Week with Marilyn', she perfectly captures the glamour and vulnerability of the iconic Marilyn Monroe who finds respite and solace during a week-long hiatus from Hollywood pressures," Matzner added.
