Healthy Recipes
Looking for a perfect recipe for tonight's dinner, or need something healthy and delicious to take to a friend's house for a party? Crafted by our award-winning chefs, and built on the nutritional foundation developed by Dr. Cederquist, these recipes are exactly what you're looking for!
Grilling on the Fourth? There's no buns about it when it comes to these healthy hamburger and hot dog recipes. Get grilling the right way with these tips, courtesy of our dietitian.
Nothing beats a burger, fresh off the grill, or the succulent taste of that smoky hot dog, just taken from the flame.
These classic Fourth of July favorites may not be the healthiest, but there are ways to get around this.
Courtesy of our dietitian, Carrie, here are some tips on how to shop, how to grill, and how to make your cookout just a little healthier.
Sometimes nothing beats a burger, hot off the grill. This Fourth of July, we want to help you make the best choice when it comes to this American favorite.
Burgers are typically high in fat, specifically saturated fat. As you make your burger choice, fat should be the biggest determining factor.
Toppings and condiments can also quickly add up, so sometimes it all matters on the assembly! Luckily, burgers pack in a lot of protein, so we are here to help you make the leanest choice possible!
Bubba burger has a variety of options that can be found in your local grocery store. Where the original variety has 35g of fat and 15g of saturated fat, the reduced fat variety has 19g of total fat and 8g of saturated fat. Choosing the reduced fat variety will help save you calories and will get rid of that extra fat. Bubba burger also makes a turkey burger that would make the best choice, with only 5g of total fat and 1.5g of saturated fat.
Jennie-O makes a line of lean turkey burger patties that are all natural, with as little as 9g of fat. Their extra lean seasoned turkey patties have only 5g of fat. You can jazz up turkey burgers by using a spicy rub or mixing in some herbs and a little shredded cheese. Forget what you've heard: turkey burgers can have just as much flavor and fun as a traditional burger!
Many generic burgers found in the freezer section often come in a leaner option, if you know what choice to make.
The numbers listed on the packages like 80/20, 90/10, or 95/5 may be confusing and sort of misleading. These percentages actually refer to the proportion of protein and fat by weight, not the proportion of calories. So for every 100g or 3.5oz, there is 20g of fat in an 80/20 ground beef. This would equal 180 calories from fat!
It is a common misconception that an 80/20 ground beef has 20% of the calories from fat, when in all actuality, fat contributes almost 75% of the total calories. So when choosing burgers in bulk, go for the leanest choice possible like 95/5.
When choosing ground beef, always go for the extra lean ground beef. Ground round and ground sirloins also make good choices. Lean ground turkey can also be used as a replacement for beef. Bison and lamb have also been gaining popularity in the burger world. A 90% lean ground bison provides a burger that is juicy and makes quite a flavorful experience. When experimenting with lamb, choose the shoulder meat, which has about 2/3 less fat than pre-ground lamb from the supermarket. Then grind it yourself with a stand mixer or hand grinder, or ask the butcher to do it for you. Also remember there are lots of great recipes that feature salmon or tuna as well, which pack in a ton of flavor as a special treat.
Here is a great recipe you can follow from Cooking Light.
Traditional hot dogs are usually a mix of turkey, chicken and pork. Hot dogs actually contain more fat, which contributes the most to the caloric total. These traditional hot dogs are also high in sodium and usually contain added nitrates/nitrites as preservatives.
98% fat free hot dogs have carbohydrates added to them along with other fillers. There is no additional protein to replace the fat that is removed and the sodium is still just as high…
Classic turkey franks may be lower in sodium and slightly lower in fat, but just like the 98% fat-free choice, they do not supply enough protein, nor could it be classified as a lean source.
Applegate Organic & Natural Meats has natural and organic choices for hot dogs, available in a turkey, beef, or chicken variety. These dogs are made with grass fed beef or certified organic meats without added nitrites or chemical preservatives. These options are a bit lower in sodium, knocking off about 100mg, and have 2-3 more grams of protein than your average dog.
Archer Farms (the Target brand) makes a variety of all natural chicken sausages that are lower in fat (about 1/3 as much as a traditional dog) and pack an average of 10-12 grams of protein per sausage. They also come in tantalizing flavors such as sun-dried tomato, spinach & garlic, or Italian style. Ranging from 70-90 calories per dog, two of these would be a good choice, either diced up or on a wheat bun to meet your protein requirements.
Wellshire Farms also has a line of hot dogs and sausages that are free of preservatives and nitrites. Their line of Lou's Famous Chicken Sausages contain 14-16 grams of protein! Although they are free of preservatives and added nitrates, they do contain a lot of sodium, around 500 mg per dog. These also come in a variety of flavors such as artichoke calamata, cilantro chicken and aged provolone.
If you follow a vegetarian diet, there are some dogs out there that can bring protein to the table. Smart Dogs makes a veggie protein link with 8g of protein and only 45 calories. To be expected, there is still over 300mg of sodium, but this product is fat free. They also make a line of sausages with 13 grams of protein, but this variety contains over triple the calories and almost double the sodium.
Tofurky also makes vegetarian dogs which are organic with all non-GMO ingredients. Their hot dogs have 10 grams of protein and would make a good choice for those who follow an organic or vegan diet.
So, here are some key things to remember when choosing your dogs for the grill:
Get your protein! Hot dogs are viewed as a meat but the classic hot dog, has less protein than a bistroMD protein snack.
Watch the sodium! If you are on a sodium-restricted diet, only have one dog and add an additional source of protein to the meal.
Look at the Fat! Turkey and chicken dogs are typically lower in fat along with vegetarian dogs.
Keep it clean! You can easily land a processed meat with lots of added chemicals and added nitrates and preservatives. In today's market, there are great options available without the yucky stuff added!

July Finishes
Yesterday I shared my overdue June finishes. Today I am sharing my July finishes ... all ornaments. Nine ornaments! I think this is a record for me for ornaments stitched in one month!
This first one is my pride & joy of the month, stitched over one. The design called for the bird to be back stitched, but nothing else was back stitched. I decided that if nothing else was back stitched, the bird wasn't going to be either : )

June Finishes
I don't believe I've posted any of my stitching since before my heart surgery on June 13! It's not that I haven't been stitching. I have! I've just been lazy about taking pictures. I don't know why. I have also been rather lazy reading blogs & every week or so I have to play catch up. I don't know why this is either. I will admit that it's frustrating to leave comments for someone only to have them bounce back to me. I have discovered that they do show up on the bloggers' posts, but I think that unless the blogger monitors his or her comments, they have no idea I commented. But this in itself isn't the reason for my laziness. I'll just blame it on recovering from surgery. Sounds like a good excuse to me : )
I kitted a handful of projects before my surgery. Strangely enough, none of them were ornaments! I either didn't have the right threads or the right fabrics. This, however, was a bit of a blessing because the projects I kitted were ones I fell in love with at first sight & have been wanting to stitch for months ... even years!
I really enjoyed stitching this first design! It's supposed to have a date & initials included on either side of the blackbird, but the designer only gives the date of 2005 & her own initials. I know I could have played around & figured out similar letters & numbers to replace the ones on the design, but I don't much care for dates & initials on projects anyway. I'm just wondering if leaving these two things off the design makes it rather empty? What do you think?

State health department encourages diabetes prevention, awareness
is American Diabetes Month
Send a link to a friend
[November 05, 2012]
CHICAGO -- November is American
Diabetes Month, and the Illinois Department of Public Health is
encouraging residents to make lifestyle changes like becoming
physically active and eating healthier to reduce the risk of being
diagnosed with the chronic but manageable disease. Quitting smoking
is also important because the leading cause of death among diabetics
is heart disease.
Nearly 26 million Americans are living with diabetes, a disease that
can lead to serious complications like heart attack, stroke,
amputation, blindness and kidney failure if left untreated or
improperly managed. Another 79 million are at risk for developing
Type 2 diabetes, formerly known as "adult onset" diabetes.
Over the past 20 years in Illinois, the number of people
diagnosed with diabetes has more than doubled, reaching
approximately 800,000 in 2011, with an additional 500,000 unaware
that they have the disease. Certain populations, such as
African-Americans, Latinos and Native Americans also have higher
rates and more complications from diabetes.
According to the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention:
Every 17 seconds,
someone is diagnosed with diabetes.
Diabetes kills
more people each year than breast cancer and AIDS combined.
Recent estimates
project that as many as 1 in 3 American adults will have
diabetes in 2050 unless we take steps to stop diabetes.
The national estimated cost of
diagnosed diabetes is $174 billion.
[to top of second column]
The signs of diabetes are frequent thirst, constant urination,
unusual hunger, rapid weight loss, fatigue and blurred vision. Risk
factors for developing diabetes include obesity, family history of
diabetes and physical inactivity.
Key steps to reducing the risk of diabetes include eating
healthy, regular exercise, limiting alcohol consumption and quitting
smoking. The Illinois Tobacco Quitline can assist with a plan and
resources for quitting by calling 1-866-QUIT-YES (1-866-784-8937).

Control Program at

Why does Mitt Romney so often get tangled up by his own words like he's trapped in jungle underbrush?
It happened again Wednesday during an interview with the Ohio News Network. Asked whether he supports the Blunt amendment – legislation that would exempt religiously affiliated employers from providing employees with contraception – Mr. Romney said he didn't. Then he pivoted to attack Rick Santorum, saying he didn't believe campaigns needed to interfere in the relationships of husbands and wives.
The problem is that Romney does support the Blunt amendment. That's a GOP given, since it would overturn an Obama administration health-care mandate. Within hours, Romney was on the Howie Carr radio show doing a mea culpa.
"I didn't understand the question. Of course I support the Blunt amendment. ... I think every Republican is supporting it," said Romney.
We'll judge this as a gaffe, not a flip-flop. Romney wasn't against the bill before he was for it – he was against it all the time, but that wasn't what was coming out of his mouth.
Why does he misspeak so often, or say stuff that makes him seem like J. Thurston Romney III? If he's not putting his wife in several Cadillacs that were undoubtedly purchased from his NASCAR team-owning friends, he's betting Rick Perry $10,000that corporations are people, my friend. Or something like that.
Well, we've got a couple of theories, above and beyond the obvious one that campaigning for president for years on end is tiring.
His mouth is faster than his brain.
Watch the Ohio News Network interview, and it seems like Romney has already moved past the actual question and is setting up to go after Mr. Santorum. His mouth is moving, but his brain is still formulating anti-Rick stuff. Anybody who's appeared on TV can understand this phenomenon. You're not there to have a discussion. You're there to move from one-liner to talking point, and back.
There's a technical neurology term for this, by the way. It's called "Mouth-moving-faster-than-brainitis."
He babbles.
Some of Romney's other verbalosities have come when he's trying to fill empty space. A voter or interviewer will ask an open-ended question, and just sit there, and Romney feels compelled to say something. It's an old reporter's trick: Don't ask questions, just stare at the person you're grilling. You'd be amazed at how many people just start rattling away.
He suffers under the Imperious Curse.
OK, this is our editor's theory: Somebody else is controlling Romney and gleefully forcing him to say unfortunate things. In the Harry Potter world, there's something called an "Imperious Curse," in which you control another person's thoughts. It's like that. Hmm, who would do that? Who reads a lot, is themselves verbally dexterous, and beams like a happy kid whenever Romney blurts out something bad? Gingrich!!
Not every pundit thinks Romney's gaffes are unusually numerous, or that big a problem.
"I don't want to say that stuff is irrelevant, especially in primary elections where there's so little to differentiate the candidates in the first place, but the truth is that there's a lot more to being a good politician than sounding like one," wrote political scientist and blogger Jonathan Bernstein yesterday in The Washington Post.
Romney's political skills are underrated, according to Mr. Bernstein. The former Massachusetts governor is good at raising money and organizing allies and political networks. He's also generally molded his policy positions to what the primary electorate wants.
If Romney wins the nomination and loses the general election, his gaffes will be magnified in retrospect. If he becomes president they'll be minimized.
"He's not a great politician. But he's a good one," added Bernstein on his own A Plain Blog About Politics.

At 37 years, we hold the distinction as one of the longest in business of all Huntington Beach Roofing Contractors, our license proves it.Check www.cslb.ca.gov/ #C39 (roofing) 390685.
Our Huntington Beach Roofing Service Include: Tile Roofing Repairs, Composition Roofing Repairs, Roof Tuneups all types.
We are also licensed for the following services: Dry Rot and Termite Damaged Wood Repair, Skylight Repair/Installation, Painting. CSLB #B 452151
Not Just Another Huntington Beach Roofing Contractor... Established in 1980, we have helped refine the roofing industry standards and techniques throughout Huntington Beach, California and beyond for over 36 years. Owner Joe Ronstadt SR has served as a technical industry consultant for roofing tile manufactures and building departments throughout Huntington Beach and the Inland Empire. He has published numerous editorials in the OC register and various magazines regarding proper roofing techniques.
There are some good Huntington Beach Roofing Contractors with high standards and good intentions, some of whom do a fine job, but too often others fall short, you've heard the stories. Part of the problem is a lack of understanding of the mechanisms of functional roofing and water proofing. We are not all the same. If a contractor is following the guidelines of the roofing industry he is failing you, because believe it or not, the national roofing guidelines have many flaws in them.
We exceed the National roofing and roof repair guidelines by far. We practice higher standards as defined by us, from many years of accurately interpreting what works and what doesn't. We Truly Set The Bar...
Huntington Beach Roofing, With Blue Knight ROOF REPAIRS:
Don't take for granted the complexities of quality roof repair. Do you want the same standard roofing techniques that put you in the position of making this call, or would you like to solve the problem this time? Most likely the problem can be corrected by fixing broken, slipped or missing tiles. Or by simply correcting the poor roofing workmanship that is causing the leak. This can be done at a very reasonable cost. In other cases however, the solution may be to rebuild the trouble areas with new paper and better designed flashings, etc... Most important this time is to redesign the integration with the flashings and special drainage areas, so that the new tar-paper stays dry and the leaks do not reoccur and "roof repairs" do not become a regular event of winter.
Huntington Beach Roofing, With Blue Knight THE ROOFING LICENSE NUMBER:
The California Contractors State License Law requires contractors to display their license number prominently along with all advertising. A wise roofing consumer should make note of the roofers license number when shopping for roofing contractors and check it with the Contractors State License Board, for the following: Date issued, Insurance, employees, Disciplinary actions, etc... A very important bit of data is how long they've in business under that particular license number. No excuses should be accepted like "we were in business under another number before". The current License number is the only one relevant to you.
Established in 1980, We are one of the longest in business of all Roofing Contractors in Huntington Beach California as evidenced by our license number (390685). We provide the best quality and most thorough Roofing, Roof Repair, Roof Inspection, &, Roof Tune Up, Service throughout North, Central, &, South Huntington Beach California. We have the highest skilled Huntington Beach Roofers, because we start with a no experience employee without the baggage of the extremely flawed roofing industry, and train them our techniques from the ground up.
The Lower The Lic Number, The Longer In Business
Check Our Lic. 390685 at cslb.gov
Our Contractors License Numbers
Lic. 390685/ Blue Knight Roofing/1980
Lic. 452151/ Blue Knight Const./1984
Our attention to detail is unsurpassed...
This is not your average roofing craftsmanship. Blue Knight roofing systems are engineered with the correct balance of function and esthetics as defined by us.
Believe it or not, this is a typical roof valley that was done according to the accepted guidelines of the roofing industry. But obviously it is not allowing water to run freely and unobstructed. Instead it is diverting the rain water under the tile and onto the fragile sub layer of the tar paper which eventually rots away and allows penetration into the house.
This is not the correct balance of function and esthetics and it is also why we do not blindly follow the flawed roofing industry guidlines.
Many years ago we developed our own roofing standards as defined by us, which exceeds the national roofing standards by far...
Dry rot and Termites are most often the result of a leaky roof or poor design. Common Causes are roof overhangs, where the rain washes onto the shiplap and fascia board.

The Huntington Beach Roofing Contract
In California, the terms of all home improvement projects over $500 (combined material and labor costs) must be in a contract and include specific information about your consumer rights and responsibilities.
What is a Home Improvement Contract and When Do I Need One?
A home improvement contract is an agreement between a contractor and a property owner or between a contractor and a tenant, and includes in its description all labor, services, and materials to be furnished and performed. A home improvement contract also can mean an agreement between a salesperson (home improvement salesperson) and property/home owner or tenant. (Business and Professions Code section 7151.2) This contract is the most important communication tool between you and your contractor; it should identify all project expectations to help avoid misunderstandings.
Beware of improperly licensed contractors on Yelp and AngiesList! With popularity of these forums, Contractor fraud is prevalent. By my estimation, there is 25-40% Improperly licensed contractors posing as Roofing Contractors on these forums. Most are general contractors illegally providing roofing services, which promotes poor workmanship and puts the customer at risk. A specialized roofing license requires the licensee to obtain workers compensation insurance regardless if they have employees or not. This helps to curtail payroll cheating and the like.
To summarize, Hire a licensed roofing Contractor with a C39 license. You should always check their license either by company name or by their license number. If you have any question about a licensee or his claims, you may call me at 714-849-5896. Check the CSLB website for license classifications at www.cslb.ca.gov
Contractors law provides restrictions for General Contractors as stated below: "A general building contractor shall not take a prime contract for any project involving trades other than framing or carpentry unless the prime contract requires at least two unrelated building trades or crafts other than framing or carpentry, or unless the general building contractor holds the appropriate license classification or subcontracts with an appropriately licensed specialty contractor to perform the work." Check The CSLB website for license classifications at cslb.com

End Exclusion: Project Finished, Mission Continues
20.000 young Europeans celebrate an inclusive society
According to the newest report of the Global Campaign for Education more than 90% of all children with disabilities in developing countries never have the chance to attend school. That is an alarming fact not only for the children and their families, but also for the development of society. "Exclusion is not only a social concern, it is also an economic concern: pointing out to countries how much they lose because of exclusion is an important selling point for inclusion", Marja Karjalainen of the department "Development and Cooperation" at the European Commission stated. According to the report a country loses between 3 to 7% of its gross domestic product when people with disabilities are excluded from education and consequently the job market.
"We must ensure that people with disabilities are included in the development goals after 2015. We must not leave anybody behind", Director International Programmes and Policy Johannes Trimmel claims. Nafisa Baboo adds: "We must step up our efforts – for all the children with disabilities worldwide. And for girls like Yetnebersh and me who have big ambitions to make the world a better place. It's up to us!"
A 3-year-EU-project implemented by LIGHT FOR THE WORLD gave young Europeans the chance to experience inclusion and to speak out for the rights of children with disabilities. 20.000 kids and adolescents participated in 11 inclusive music and sports events in four countries. A total of 140.000 people were reached.
LIGHT FOR THE WORLD and our partner organisations eRko and Dutch Coalition on Disability and Development celebrated the closing of our EU-project with a conference in the European parliament in Brussels last Thursday. "End Exclusion – Let's enable the Millennium Development Goals" had been the objective of the past three years.
"It's not a closing event, it's a causing event – it causes the end of exclusion", Yetnebersh Nigussie, Executive Director of the Ethopian Center for Disability and Development and International Ambassador of LIGHT FOR THE WORLD, said in her statement. "Inclusion is the demand for rights and exclusion deprives people's fundamental rights. The exclusion of 1 billion people is not a side issue!" Yetnebersh Nigussie is blind since she was 5 years old. She studied law, founded a school, received numerous awards and became a role model for people and especially women with disabilities worldwide.
Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities: Global report about inclusive education
LIGHT FOR THE WORLD's next task is to raise awareness about the Global CAmpaign for Education that this year focuses on inclusive education for children with disabilities. "Every child has a right to be educated. We have to convince all governments worldwide to invest into building an inclusive education system where the needs of young people with disabilities are met in their local schools", Nafisa Baboo, Senior Advisor on Inclusive Education of LIGHT FOR THE WORLD, says. Nafisa Baboo who has a visual impairment was able to benefit from an inclusive education herself. "My father, who is blind, was separated from his family at the age of 9 to attend a special school for the blind. He made a conscious decision to send me and my brother with learning difficulties to our local mainstream school. He believed the best way to prepare a child with a disability for life in the real world is if they learnt to negotiate it from early on."

Adam Sandler was born in Brooklyn, New York to Jewish parents, Stanley, an electrical engineer, and Judy Sandler, a nursery school teacher. When he was five, his family moved to Manchester, New Hampshire, where he attended Manchester Central High School. He found he was a natural comic, and nurtured his talent while at New York University by performing regularly in clubs and on campuses. Sandler graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in 1988.

Terrell Owens has been off the NFL grid since the Seattle Seahawks cut him during training camp last summer.
The writing certainly appears to be on the wall for the 39-year-old wide receiver, who said last week he'd formally retire if he couldn't find work in 2013.
Why play fantasy football anywhere else? Play the official free fantasy football game of the NFL. Sign up today in under two minutes.
Owens still burns to play, and his best recourse is to stay in shape (never a problem for T.O.) while keeping his name in the public consciousness. And so it was that Owens rolled out of bed early Wednesday for a morning of chatter on NFL Network's "NFL AM."
Has Owens heard from another NFL team since his release from the Seahawks?
"Nothing as of right now," he said. "So I understand the process. Obviously teams are really taking a closer look in evaluating their younger players. Being a free agent, I understand that later in the months as training camp starts, they'll start looking for veterans."
Though he obviously can't be choosy at this stage, Owens explained his best fit would come with a team operating a West Coast offense. He cited the Minnesota Vikings and Kansas City Chiefs as options.
Owens has a good relationship with Vikings wide receivers coach George Stewart. The Chiefs are coached by Andy Reid, for whom Owens played on the Philadelphia Eagles.
Owens believes he's still being punished for his antics earlier in his career.
"It's all politics," he said. "I think a lot of it has to do with my reputation, things that I've done early in my career. I'm a changed person. I'm a bit more mature than I was in years past, and I think if anybody out there can look past that and look what I can bring to the team than some of the things that happened in the past, I can look past it and maybe they could, and I could go in and help a team develop some of those younger guys."
It's a familiar message from Owens, who has been selling himself as a playmaker in need of an opportunity for the better part of two years now. Time is running out.

Preliminary, unaudited results
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 15, 2013 – American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP) today reported fourth-quarter 2012 earnings, prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), of $21 million or $0.05 per share, compared with $308 million or $0.64 per share in 2011. Operating earnings (excluding special items) for fourth-quarter 2012 were $242 million or $0.50 per share, compared with fourth-quarter 2011 operating earnings of $194 million or $0.40 per share.
GAAP earnings for year-end 2012 were $1.259 billion or $2.60 per share, compared with $1.941 billion or $4.02 per share in 2011. Operating earnings for 2012 were $1.497 billion or $3.09 per share, compared with $1.504 billion or $3.12 per share in 2011.
For the year, operating earnings were $238 million or $0.49 per share higher than GAAP earnings due to the following items (net of tax): Ohio plant impairments of $184 million, or $0.38 per share; a $9 million adjustment associated with the Texas cost cap on the construction of the John W. Turk Jr. (Turk) coal-fueled power plant, or $0.02 per share; and a $30 million charge associated with AEP's cost restructuring efforts, or $0.06 per share. In addition, in 2012, AEP recognized a $15 million tax provision, or $0.03 per share, associated with UK windfall taxes. All of the differences between 2012 operating and GAAP earnings occurred in fourth-quarter 2012 with the exception of the Turk adjustment, which occurred in third-quarter 2012, and $8 million of the restructuring charge recorded in second-quarter 2012.
A full reconciliation of 2012 and 2011 GAAP earnings with operating earnings for the quarter and year to date is included in tables at the end of this news release.
"In spite of considerable challenges in 2012, including extended regulatory uncertainty in Ohio, lagging demand growth and several unprecedented storms, we provided solid financial results for our shareholders and safely delivered reliable, affordable electricity for the benefit of our customers," said Nicholas K. Akins, president and chief executive officer. "I'm particularly proud that our employees remained focused throughout the year and completed 2012 with no fatalities and record-low injury rates, while maintaining effective cost controls.
"Our operating earnings for the fourth quarter and the year were in line with results from last year despite sluggish demand growth and the negative impact of customer switching in Ohio. AEP shareholders received an 8.22 percent total shareholder return in 2012, including dividends – well above the total shareholder return of negative 0.55 percent for the S&P 500 Electric Utilities Index," Akins said. "We took advantage of available, low-priced debt capital and replaced all of our parent debt at more attractive rates. We further strengthened our financial position by reducing our post-employment benefit liability and increasing the funding of our qualified pension plan to 92 percent.
"We made significant progress reducing regulatory uncertainty. With the receipt of an Electric Security Plan order in Ohio, we have a clear path for corporate restructuring in the state. We've filed for corporate separation and transfer of our Ohio generation assets to our competitive generation entity and other operating companies and expect to fully separate our Ohio generation from our Ohio utility operations at the end of 2013," Akins said.
"We delivered earnings improvement each quarter in 2012 from our transmission business, and we benefitted from successful rate proceedings in several jurisdictions. We also continued our legacy of generation leadership by bringing on line two new power plants in 2012, the 580-megawatt combined-cycle natural gas Dresden Plant and the 600-megawatt Turk Plant, the first ultra-supercritical coal plant in the United States," Akins said.
Simultaneous with today's earnings release, management established 2013 operating earnings guidance of $3.05 to $3.25 per share. In providing operating earnings guidance, there could be differences between operating earnings and GAAP earnings for matters such as, but not limited to, divestitures or changes in accounting principles. AEP management is not able to estimate the impact, if any, on GAAP earnings of these items. Therefore, AEP is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for earnings guidance.
$ in millions except EPS
Operating earnings from Utility Operations for fourth-quarter 2012 and the year increased in comparison with the same periods in 2011 by $108 million and $62 million, respectively. This reflects the positive impact of successful rate proceedings and lower spending as a result of cost-containment efforts, offset by lost earnings due to customer switching in Ohio, higher storm restoration costs and milder temperatures in relation to last year. The difference between GAAP and operating earnings for the fourth quarter and the year relates primarily to the Ohio plant impairments and restructuring costs discussed above.
Operating earnings from AEP River Operations for fourth-quarter 2012 and the year were $18 million and $30 million lower, respectively, than for the same periods in 2011 primarily due to the 2012 drought, which had significant impacts on river conditions and crop yields, resulting in reduced grain exports.
Operating earnings from All Other during fourth-quarter 2012 and the year decreased primarily due to costs associated with the early retirement of parent debt in fourth-quarter 2012. The difference between GAAP and operating earnings for fourth-quarter 2012 and the year relates to the previously discussed UK windfall tax provision recorded in fourth-quarter 2012.
$ in millions
Retail Sales – Retail margins for fourth-quarter 2012 and the year were $178 million and $23 million higher, respectively, than for the same periods in 2011. In the fourth quarter of 2012, we experienced colder weather in our eastern service territories compared with the same period last year and the continuing favorable impact of rate decisions, offset by lost margins from customer switching in Ohio. The increase for the year is a result of the continued favorable impact of rate decisions, offset by customer switching in Ohio and unfavorable weather conditions in the first nine months of 2012 compared with 2011. Retail Sales includes the East Regulated Integrated Utilities, Ohio Power Company, West Regulated Integrated Utilities and Texas Wires.
Off-System Sales – Margins from Off-System Sales were lower in fourth-quarter 2012 and the year compared with the same periods in 2011 primarily because of lower power prices.
Transmission Revenue – 3rd Party – Transmission Revenue for fourth-quarter 2012 and the year was $27 million and $83 million higher, respectively, than the same periods in 2011, primarily as a result of increased revenues in ERCOT and PJM, including revenues associated with customer switching.
Other Operating Revenue – Other Operating Revenue for fourth-quarter 2012 and the year were comparable with the same periods last year.
The following Utility Operations expense categories had significant fluctuations in 2012 compared with 2011 (dollars in millions):
Operations and Maintenance expense in fourth-quarter 2012 and the year was $42 million and $233 million less, respectively, when compared with the same periods in 2011, primarily as a result of controlled spending measures, partially offset by higher storm restoration costs.
Depreciation and Amortization expense in fourth-quarter 2012 and the year increased $29 million and $121 million, respectively, when compared with the same periods in 2011, because of higher depreciation related to shortened plant lives for certain generating plants and higher amortization expense associated with regulatory assets.
Other Income & Deductions decreased in fourth-quarter 2012 and the year by $20 million and $100 million, respectively, when compared with the same periods in 2011, due to carrying cost income associated with the Texas capacity auction true-up that was recognized in July 2011 when the Supreme Court of Texas overturned a 2006 Texas commission order. The capacity auction true-up amount, including accrued interest, was securitized in first-quarter 2012.

American Electric Power is one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, delivering electricity to more than 5 million customers in 11 states. AEP ranks among the nation's largest generators of electricity, owning nearly 38,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the U.S. AEP also owns the nation's largest electricity transmission system, a nearly 39,000-mile network that includes more 765-kilovolt extra-high voltage transmission lines than all other U.S. transmission systems combined. AEP's transmission system directly or indirectly serves about 10 percent of the electricity demand in the Eastern Interconnection, the interconnected transmission system that covers 38 eastern and central U.S. states and eastern Canada, and approximately 11 percent of the electricity demand in ERCOT, the transmission system that covers much of Texas. AEP's utility units operate as AEP Ohio, AEP Texas, Appalachian Power (in Virginia and West Virginia), AEP Appalachian Power (in Tennessee), Indiana Michigan Power, Kentucky Power, Public Service Company of Oklahoma, and Southwestern Electric Power Company (in Arkansas, Louisiana and east Texas). AEP's headquarters are in Columbus, Ohio.
AEP's earnings are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and represent the company's earnings as reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission. AEP's management believes that the company's operating earnings, or GAAP earnings adjusted for certain items as described in the news release and charts, provide a more meaningful representation of the company's performance. AEP uses operating earnings as the primary performance measurement when communicating with analysts and investors regarding its earnings outlook and results. The company also uses operating earnings data internally to measure performance against budget and to report to AEP's board of directors.
This report made by American Electric Power and its Registrant Subsidiaries contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although AEP and each of its Registrant Subsidiaries believe that their expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such statements may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: the economic climate, growth or contraction within and changes in market demand and demographic patterns in AEP's service territory; inflationary or deflationary interest rate trends; volatility in the financial markets, particularly developments affecting the availability of capital on reasonable terms and developments impairing AEP's ability to finance new capital projects and refinance existing debt at attractive rates; the availability and cost of funds to finance working capital and capital needs, particularly during periods when the time lag between incurring costs and recovery is long and the costs are material; electric load, customer growth and the impact of retail competition, particularly in Ohio; weather conditions, including storms and drought conditions, and AEP's ability to recover significant storm restoration costs through applicable rate mechanisms; available sources and costs of, and transportation for, fuels and the creditworthiness and performance of fuel suppliers and transporters; availability of necessary generating capacity and the performance of AEP's generating plants; AEP's ability to recover increases in fuel and other energy costs through regulated or competitive electric rates; AEP's ability to build or acquire generating capacity and transmission lines and facilities (including the ability to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals and permits) when needed at acceptable prices and terms and to recover those costs (including the costs of projects that are cancelled) through applicable rate cases or competitive rates; new legislation, litigation and government regulation, including oversight of nuclear generation, energy commodity trading and new or heightened requirements for reduced emissions of sulfur, nitrogen, mercury, carbon, soot or particulate matter and other substances, or additional regulation of fly ash and similar combustion products that could impact the continued operation and cost recovery of AEP's plants and related assets; evolving public perception of the risks associated with fuels used before, during and after the generation of electricity, including nuclear fuel; a reduction in the federal statutory tax rate that could result in an accelerated return of deferred federal income taxes to customers; timing and resolution of pending and future rate cases, negotiations and other regulatory decisions, including rate or other recovery of new investments in generation, distribution and transmission service and environmental compliance; resolution of litigation; AEP's ability to constrain operation and maintenance costs; AEP's ability to develop and execute a strategy based on a view regarding prices of electricity, coal, natural gas and other energy-related commodities; prices and demand for power that AEP generates and sells at wholesale; changes in technology, particularly with respect to new, developing or alternative sources of generation; AEP's ability to recover through rates or market prices any remaining unrecovered investment in generating units that may be retired before the end of their previously projected useful lives; volatility and changes in markets for electricity, coal, natural gas and other energy-related commodities; changes in utility regulation, including the implementation of Electric Security Plans and the transition to market and expected legal separation for generation in Ohio and the allocation of costs within regional transmission organizations, including PJM and SPP; AEP's ability to successfully manage negotiations with stakeholders and obtain regulatory approval to terminate the Interconnection Agreement; changes in the creditworthiness of the counterparties with whom AEP has contractual arrangements, including participants in the energy trading market; actions of rating agencies, including changes in the ratings of AEP debt; the impact of volatility in the capital markets on the value of the investments held by AEP's pension, other postretirement benefit plans, captive insurance entity and nuclear decommissioning trust and the impact on future funding requirements; accounting pronouncements periodically issued by accounting standard-setting bodies; and other risks and unforeseen events, including wars, the effects of terrorism (including increased security costs), embargoes, cyber security threats and other catastrophic events.

A video posted on Mother Jones's website on Sept. 17 showed Romney at a fundraiser, unaware he was being taped, calling the 47% of Americans who do not pay federal income taxes "entitled." They "believe that they are victims" and that "the government has a responsibility to care for them," he said. "My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." The Obama campaign used the remarks as evidence that Romney is out of touch.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Paul Millsap scored 25 points, Al Jefferson had 22 and the Utah Jazz defeated the New Orleans Hornets 104-99 on Wednesday night.
Ryan Anderson's 3-pointer with 15 seconds left pulled the Hornets within 100-97 but Randy Foye and Millsap each hit two free throws down the stretch to seal it.
Coming off a 45-point loss to Houston on Monday, the Jazz trailed by 12 points in the first quarter before rallying to take a 10-point lead with about 7 minutes remaining.
Anthony Davis nearly brought the Hornets all the way back with an eight-point fourth quarter. He pulled them to 95-94 with 2:18 remaining but Millsap and Jefferson hit back-to-back shots that provided the cushion Utah would need.
Greivis Vasquez led the Hornets with 17 points and 13 assists, but made just 8 of 21 shots after starting 4 for 5.
Millsap added 10 rebounds and two blocks.
Early on, the Jazz resembled the team that was embarrassed by the Rockets in their worst home loss in franchise history.
They trailed by 12 and couldn't hit a shot or defend one, shooting under 30 percent at one point while the Hornets opened 7 of 10.
Anderson and Roger Mason, starting in place of Eric Gordon, each hit two 3s as the Hornets looked strong despite coming off a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.
The Jazz climbed back into the game in the second quarter behind Derrick Favors and Earl Watson.
Watson pushed the pace and Favors was a beast inside, hitting 4 of 4 shots in the quarter and corralling three rebounds.
Utah also dominated the paint in the second, holding an 18-8 edge on points.
DeMarre Carroll's fast-break layup tied it at 39 with 5:59 left in the half and Utah took a 51-47 lead into the break, with Millsap finally scoring a field goal after starting 0 for 4.
Millsap got going in the third, scoring 11 points as the Jazz took a 78-75 lead into the fourth.
Utah quickly bumped it to eight, Burks hitting a 3-pointer on a nice feed from Millsap. The Jazz increased the lead to 90-80 on a pair of free throws by Burks with 7:16 remaining.
Davis then made it a game, finishing with 14 points as five Hornets players scored in double figures
Utah also had five players in double figures, with Favors adding 15 points, Foye 14 and Marvin Williams 11.
After shooting just 38.1 percent in the first quarter, the Jazz finished at 50.
Both teams were missing key players, with the Jazz still without starting point guard Mo Williams (thumb surgery) and third-leading scorer Gordon Hayward (sprained shoulder.)
The Hornets held out leading scorer Gordon, held out as part of medical protocol on the second game of back-to-backs.
NOTES: Hornets coach Monty Williams said the team continues to follow the medical protocol it set for Gordon, holding him out in the second game of back-to-backs. Gordon has come back from a knee injury that caused him to miss the first third of this season, and all but nine games last year. ... Millsap had his first two shots blocked. ... Millsap officially joined Twitter on Wednesday, with one of his first tweets a shoutout to La Tech, which he attended. ... The Hornets shot 68.8 percent in the first quarter but made just 5 of 18 shots (27.8 percent) in the second. Vasquez was particularly cold, hitting just 1 of 7 shots in the second and turning it over twice. His complaining earned him a technical with 3:24 left in the half.

Reds taking it slow, steady with Cueto

CINCINNATI -- Reds rotation ace Johnny Cueto has yet to resume throwing since going on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a strained right lat muscle.
That doesn't mean Cueto hasn't shown some improvement. The medical staff is being deliberate with the progression.
"We're strengthening it before we start throwing," Reds head trainer Paul Lessard said. "We want to calm it down first. He's feeling much better. It will still be a few days. We want to make sure it's right before he attempts to throw."
Cueto was injured while pitching vs. the Pirates on April 13. He is eligible to be activated on April 29. Rookie left-hander Tony Cingrani replaced Cueto in the rotation.
