About Menu
From an 18-bed hospital opened by a young surgeon in 1894, to the 150-staffed-bed acute care facility of today, University Hospitals Portage Medical Center is the only hospital in Portage County and is setting the pace for health care today.
In 1894, Wilford W. White, MD, a young surgeon, saw the need for a hospital to treat accident victims in the area. Dr. White, who was also instrumental in early plans for what is now The Cleveland Clinic, came to Ravenna after completing his studies at the Western Reserve Medical College. He purchased a home on East Main Street in Ravenna, and the facility became known as The White Hospital, housing 18 beds and an operating room.
The White Hospital soon expanded to offer limited surgical services. But overcrowded conditions prompted Dr. White to build a new facility on North Chestnut Street at the corner of Cedar Avenue where the current Ravenna Post Office now stands.
The new, 25-bed hospital opened Oct. 1, 1903, in a two-story brick building featuring private rooms, small wards, a second-floor operating room and a kitchen on the first floor. The White Hospital continued to grow with 243 operations performed in 1909. By 1912, 10 physicians staffed the 30-bed facility.
In September 1917, an ailing Dr. White offered the county the option to purchase the hospital, and in November of that year, voters approved a $50,000 bond issue to fund the purchase. It was then the hospital became a county facility directed by a board of directors appointed by the Portage County commissioners and common pleas court judge.
By 1920, 48 beds were available, but increased local population and patient needs forced the hospital to operate for nearly a decade at double its capacity. The situation attracted the help of three brothers: Thomas Robinson, a New York City lawyer, Navel Architect Richard M. Robinson, and California banker Henry Robinson. The Robinson brothers grew up in Ravenna and proposed presenting their deceased parent's homestead to the county along with $75,000 for a new hospital. The gift was offered on the condition the county residents contribute an additional $75,000 for construction, which was approved in 1931.
The hospital was designed by Good and Wagner of Akron and by Kent architect Charles G. Kistler. P.L. Frank Construction Co. of Ravenna built the hospital and finished two weeks ahead of schedule. On Feb. 21, 1932, 1,600 residents celebrated the dedication of the George F. and Mary A. Robinson Memorial Portage County Hospital. The hospital was named for the Robinson brothers' parents. During the dedication celebration, a 15-piece orchestra performed and guests could view a display of roses from the White House, courtesy of President Herbert Hoover, a friend of Henry Robinson. The facility now serves as the Portage County Administration Building.
The Robinsons' nearby home became a boarding house where nurses could live for $15 a month. It was torn down in 1956.
The new hospital originally housed 50 adult beds, eight infant bassinets, two operating rooms, a labor room and a delivery room. Additional services were soon added, including an emergency room, laboratories and an X-ray department.
It was not long before residents recognized the demands on the facility and the need for expansion. By the late 1930s, the hospital was once again overcrowded, and in 1940, voters approved a bond issue for an addition. The addition allowed for 110 beds and 30 bassinets.
The 1950s saw continued growth and expansion at the hospital, including a laundry and storage building, an administration facility, an expanded x-ray department, two new elevators and an increase to 206 licensed beds. A 1961 renovation program provided for the remodeling of the children's ward and an additional 38 hospital beds, for a total of 244. By 1962, more than 10,000 people were seeking treatment in the emergency department that was originally built to serve between 700 and 800. A much-needed emergency room expansion and an intensive care unit were part of the renovation in 1966.
Following the defeat of a bond issue for further expansion, a feasibility study in 1972 determined that the county needed a new hospital. Voters approved a bond issue in 1973 and the county purchased the Tisher family farm on North Chestnut Street as the site of the new hospital. Groundbreaking on July 27, 1975 marked the beginning of a two-year construction period, which ended with the hospital dedication on Aug. 7, 1977. Total construction costs were $23 million.
Moving to the new hospital was a major operation, as both facilities had to be up and running at once. August 20 was moving day, and it took four hours to move 117 patients – including one in traction with a neck injury – to the new facility. Hundreds of volunteers helped, and the army reserve medical unit also assisted. The Conrail trains were halted through Ravenna so as not to disrupt the 2.5-mile move. During the move, a baby was born at the old hospital and a baby was born at the new hospital. The next day, the hospital had 52 new admissions.
The hospital campus has undergone a number of changes since opening in 1977. In 1984, under Phase II of the new hospital, the North Wing was added for outpatient services and other departments, and the South Wing was expanded. The hospital also began acquiring new diagnostic radiology equipment for MRIs, CT scans and mammograms.
The hospital began its first experiment with an off-site facility in 1984 when it acquired Med Center One - Kent. This urgent care center treats patients when their primary care physician is not available and offers evening and weekend hours. Med Center One - Streetsboro, another urgent care center, opened to the pubic more than a decade later in 1996.
Hospital officials continued to explore health care opportunities in communities like Kent and Streetsboro in the mid-90s. The hospital began work on the Kent Medical Arts Building in 1993. This building was the first in a complex of physician practices, diagnostic centers and health care facilities. It originally housed more than 15 physicians, the Kent Outpatient Services Center and the Kent Mammography Center. Later, the Diabetes Care and Education Center was added and the Portage Kidney Center opened. The Robinson Surgery Center opened next door to the Kent Medical Arts Building in 1997. This free-standing surgery center is the only one of its kind in the county backed by the full services of a hospital. In Streetsboro, a new medical building accommodating Portage Pediatrics opened in May 2000, and a new building for Streetsboro Family Practice opened in September of the same year.
Back at the hospital's main campus, the 1990s was also a watershed era for construction projects and hospital renovation. In 1993, an addition was built for a new cardiac catheterization lab to support the diagnosis and treatment of cardiology patients. The Emergency Department began a FastTrack program in 1995 to separate patients with minor injuries and illnesses from those with urgent needs. Also in 1995, the cafeteria was renovated providing more menu choices and dining comfort. A major expansion and renovation of the laboratory was completed in 1997 as was a renovation of all patient rooms and nursing units on 2-East, 2-West, 3-East and 3-West. The hospital also built an annex in 1997 called the Robinson Medical Arts Building. This three-story facility houses two floors of physician offices, The Rehab Center at Robinson and Robinson Radiation Oncology.
During this era, the hospital also began acquiring local health care organizations to provide additional services. In 1996, the hospital affiliated with Allied Health Rehab and created the Rehab Center, which now also includes a Sport Clinic and has offices in Kent, Ravenna and Streetsboro. In 1997, the hospital absorbed the Greater Portage Area Visiting Nurse Association and formed the department Robinson Visiting Nurse and Hospice. This organization helps individuals deal with life-threatening illness and surgery recovery at home.
Robinson greeted the new millennium with its first website, launched in 1999, redesigned in 2004 and again in 2010.
Construction momentum from the earlier decade continued with a new Emergency Department, now a level III Trauma Center, opening in January 2000. The newly renovated Cardiovascular Center opened in June and the new Birth Center at Robinson was unveiled in September. The hospital broke ground on a new Radiology Department in 2002, which began serving patients in 2003. Also in 2003, Robinson expanded services to Aurora with the addition of a new medical center. The hospital also redesigned front roadways and its main entrance appearance, adding a distinct copper-colored cupola in 2004.
The Robinson Memorial Foundation launched its first major fundraising campaign, Robinson Tomorrow, in 2003, which aims to raise $3 million by the end of 2007.
The turn of the century was also a time of rising health care costs and increased competition from hospitals in other counties. Robinson responded by forming cost-saving alliances with some of the top health care providers in the region. Officials cut the ribbon for Children's at Robinson, a pediatric in-patient unit affiliated with Akron Children's Hospital in 2005. In February of that year, the hospital also began a joint venture with Akron General Medical Center in radiation oncology. In 2007, the hospital became an affiliate member of Summa Health System, aligning it with one of the best health care systems in the country.
The hospital kicked off its first advertising campaign in 2005 with the slogan "Excellent Healthcare Where You Need It" emphasizing its convenient location - 20 minutes from anywhere in the county. The campaign continues to evolve, and features billboards, TV commercials and in-house displays. After one year of the campaign, the hospital was distinguished as having the most improved hospital image of any in the nation, as surveyed by the Jackson Organization.
Robinson Memorial's efforts to build off-site continue today. The Robinson Imaging Center at Kent opened its doors in 2006, offering state-of-the-art radiology diagnostic procedures. In 2006, the hospital broke ground on a second medical arts building on the main campus. This building will house the Endoscopy Center and a Cardiac Center of Excellence. Construction plans for a Brimfield medical office are currently underway as well as plans for a medical arts building in Streetsboro. Today, the hospital has 14 health affiliate practices and hospital centers in 11 locations.
Robinson Memorial Hospital also earned its share of recent accolades. The hospital achieved Magnet recognition status in 2006, becoming one of only 235 hospitals nationwide highlighted for outstanding nursing care.
In 2007, Robinson Memorial Hospital celebrated 90 years as a county-owned facility, 75 years as Robinson Memorial Hospital and 30 years at the Chestnut Street location in Ravenna. The hospital hosted a picnic for employees, volunteers, Auxilians, board members, distinguished guests and their family members. Children enjoyed inflatable slides, face painting and music. Robinson Memorial's President & CEO Stephen Colecchi and Board President Gordon Ober made statements to the crowd, and proclamations were presented by Ravenna Mayor Kevin Poland; County Commissioners Maureen Frederick, Chris Smeiles, and Chuck Keiper; State Representative Kathleen Chandler and U.S. Representative Tim Ryan, who also presented a flag flown over the Capitol Building in honor of Robinson Memorial Hospital. The evening ended in a 15-minute fireworks display.
Robinson Memorial Hospital joined University Hospitals in 2015, and became known as UH Portage Medical Center.

Holabird Academy was evacuated Wednesday afternoon after a gas leak near the school in the O'Donnell Heights neighborhood, according to the Baltimore City Fire Department.
The leak, which was caused by a break in a six-inch gas main, was reported at around 3 p.m. near the area of Cardiff Avenue and Travers Way, according to the fire department. The break was caused by a construction accident.
The air quality level at the school was determined to be safe, fire officials said. The levels are also being checked at residences in the area.
Baltimore Gas & Electric is currently working to fix the main, according to the fire department.
No one reported any illness following the leak, fire officials said.

SAREX: PCSAT2 on ISS continues to operate its FM voice downlink on 437.975 on most passes during waking hours. Since the Shuttle has been delayed for several days, and passes are 20+ minutes earlier each day, this results in passes during the Naval Academy's morning classroom hours in the USA area next week. For EASTERN USA stations, we want to make a special FM voice contact with other schools. The 0903 EDT and 1036 EDT passes on Tuesday the 12th will occur during our students satellite lab period and we hope to contact other schools or VIP ARISS stations. If you want to set up a special station during that class time, let us know so we can coordinate. Thanks, WB4APR, Bob USNA Satellite Lab ---- Sent via firstname.lastname@example.com.

On the Record
Barbara Nwaba became the newest Gaucho to set a school record when she earned a score of 4772 at the Sam Adams Heptathlon on March 14. She bettered the previous score of 4767 set by Erika Bornhorst in 1996. Along the way she also set a new personal best in the long jump and had a gutsy performance in the final event. She ran 2:26.3 in the 800m, squeaking under the time necessary to accumulate enough points to break the record. This was Nwaba's first-ever heptathlon, and she strives to make further improvements as the season rolls along.
Moving Forward
The Gaucho throwers fared well at the USC Invitational, with top-5 finishes for Hector Serrano and Michael Guerra. Serrano threw consistently in the shot put and hit a seasonal best of 53-0.25 (16.16m) with his best heave. Guerra also set a seasonal best in his event, the javelin, with his best throw measuring 191-9 (58.46m). Guerra set his lifetime best of 199 feet at last season's Cal/Nevada Championships, and he is slated to compete in the top flight at this weekend's meet.
Up and Over
The pole vaulters had their best weekend of the season so far, with Scott Finley's clearance of 16 feet complimented by a pair of seasonal bests from Tess Balcomb and Jennifer Brown. Both athletes cleared 11-7.75 (3.55m) to take second place in their respective sections. They are currently tied for the fourth-best mark of the season in the Big West.
Middle Ground
Scott Smith and Ryan Martin posted good times last weekend in the middle distance races. Smith became the conference leader in the 1500m with his time of 3:48.28, which is just off his lifetime best. Martin set a new lifetime best in the 800m with a time of 1:52.34, which is currently the fourth-best time in the conference.
Quick Recap: Sam Adams Combined Events, March 13-14

Skin Cancer
Maybe it's a growth on your skin or a sore that just wouldn't heal. Whatever the change in your skin, you have decided to get an expert opinion.
If you're concerned that you may have skin cancer, the University of Chicago Medicine can help. There are several different types of skin cancer, and our physicians are experts in knowing how to diagnose and treat them. Often, the key to a cure is early detection. University of Chicago dermatologists offer the latest diagnostic tools to identify melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers.
Many types of skin cancer can be cured with surgery, but some types require a more comprehensive approach. That's especially true for melanoma, the most serious kind of skin cancer. At the University of Chicago, we offer advanced treatments for melanoma, based on years of intensive research and our doctors' own clinical experience at the bedside. Survival rates for patients with melanoma treated at the University of Chicago Medicine are significantly higher than the national average.
We are also experts at treating nonmelanoma skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma). We offer several surgical techniques for removal of these tumors, including Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). This precise procedure, commonly used to remove skin cancer on the face, head and neck areas, offers the highest possible cure rate for these common skin cancers while preserving the greatest amount of healthy tissue.

New Video: "Why We Use the King James Version"
I have come across so many people who think that choosing a Bible version is just a matter of preference, that I have put together a 21-minute "video tract" on DVD to explain why we choose the KJV. The video is now complete, and will be shipping in a week or so. Pre-order a copy and save. Show it to your Sunday School class, your family, your bus kids — anyone who can benefit from knowing the historical evidence for the KJV and against the modern Bible versions.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Lipscomb women's soccer team wrapped up its spring schedule and with it found improvement and success.
"We had a great spring with a 3-1 record," Lipscomb head coach Kevin O'Brien said. "We finished real strong with three wins in a row. We showed improvement. Without a shadow of a doubt there was improvement made by each individual player on the squad."
The Lady Bisons started the spring with a game against cross-town foe Vanderbilt. LU fell 1-0 but O'Brien saw positives in the loss.
"It was a very competitive game," O'Brien said. "We created some great chances and their goalkeeper made some great saves. It was a competitive game against a good SEC opponent.
"It was a good start, unfortunately it was a loss. But I was proud of the battle and we played good soccer."
The Purple and Gold followed up with a match at Tennessee Tech where the offense came to life in a 4-1 victory.
"It was probably the best performance on the attacking side of the ball since I have been here," O'Brien said. "Not only did we threaten with some good balls from behind but we played some good combination soccer to get through them."
With Lipscomb controlling the contest, O'Brien saw things that they worked on in practice come through.
"I was excited about things that finally came together that we had been working on all spring long in regards to combination play and finishing," he said. "Since I have been here, finishing has been a glaring weakness and in that game we capitalized on our chances."
The third game of the spring was against another Nashville school as the Lady Bisons traveled to Trevecca. Lipscomb prevailed with a hard-fought 1-0 victory.
"They were an industrious, hardworking, blue collar team," O'Brien said. "Overall we had the lion's share of the ball and I thought we played a good attacking game. Their goalkeeper came up big on three different occasions.
"After the girls got their goal, they kept on being the aggressor. I was proud of the attacking mentality that we showed in the game."
In the final game of the spring, O'Brien saw what he thought to be the most complete game the Lady Bisons have played since he took over the program in February of 2012.
"We played UAB to a 2-1 victory," O'Brien said. "It challenged us because they played a different system. They overloaded the midfield which created some challenges that the girls responded well. It shows that they are learning how to make adjustments within the game.
"We came out, got an early goal and it became a back-and-forth game. It was a pretty level match as far as chances and possession."
With only three subs for the entire spring season, O'Brien feared the lack of depth would come back to hurt them in the second half.
"I was a little worried at halftime that they might wear us out," he said. "About halfway through the second half UAB equalized the score."
It was at this moment that O'Brien was wondering how the team would respond - succumb to the momentum of UAB with the lack of depth or turn the corner and fight back.
"It was the most excellent response that you could ask for as a coach," O'Brien said. "The girls dug-in. They were determined and went on a run of form. We played great soccer and scored the second goal, which ultimately was the game winner.
"Our girls responded in a way that really saw a champion's character in them. That is something that we have talked about but hasn't shown itself. I was thrilled with the result."
The players made improvement through the learning process.
"In the spring you actually get to coach," O'Brien said. "In the fall with so many games it is hard to learn. It is more performance based. The spring is a wonderful teaching time to actually develop the group."
Two of the players that saw the most improvement were sophomores Brittany Rupple and Baylee Linnell.
"I was really proud of Brittany," O'Brien said. "She has always been a good soccer player but she played with a little bit more fire. She was more active and involved on both sides, defensively attacking and in possession. I feel like she took a real step from the fall to the spring.
"Baylee is coming along. There is no question that she is a superior athlete but she is starting to play better soccer. It is encouraging she is showing growth because I think she is going to be an important player for us moving forward."
The other portion of the spring schedule is to find leaders who step up to replace the seniors who are no longer with the team. Two of the leaders are coming off injury-plagued years while the third is a transfer who has found her role within the squad.
"Martika Powe is back after missing the entire year because of an ACL injury," O'Brien said. "I was encouraged because you didn't know what you really had in regards to leadership. She proved that the girls respect what she had to say.
"Kelsey Reiman was another player that was injured throughout the fall. She was never really visible and she really stepped up."
The third player that O'Brien saw step up was Callie Cavanaugh who transferred to Lipscomb after playing at Clemson.
"It is always difficult to lead in your first season because you are brand new to the team," O'Brien said. "She has stepped into the role this spring and was a great motivator and encourager."
As the Lady Bisons depart for the summer, O'Brien is confident the success will carry over into the fall.
"It was a positive spring," he said. "We played better soccer and they were committed to the cause. They developed and will come into the fall being sharper, wiser and smarter of what the coaches are asking them to do."

Published September 21, 2003
EUGENE, Ore. - After one season off, the cast members of the much-ballyhooed drama I like to call "West Toast" decided to take their show on the road one more time Saturday. Viewers saw the same plot and the same characters from the first two productions (2000 and 2001), but with a slightly-altered script.
As avid fans of the first two seasons, we should have expected this plotline from the start. You know, the trip out West, the loss in nonconference play, the crushed dreams of a national championship just as we actually started to believe this team was different.
Nope, no difference.
I will give the heavens one thing: The setting they picked for this year's production of "West Toast" to unfold was magnificent.
Sitting in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, Oregon's Autzen Stadium is one of college football's hidden jewels. Before kickoff, Autzen is as peaceful as the Willamette River, which runs through Eugene just a few minutes from the stadium. After kickoff, the fans - even the alumni - forget who they are, where they come from and what their degree is in. The audience adopts a new collective identity for the next three-and-a-half hours: the 12th, 13th and 14th man.
Autzen's 59,000 strong make the Big House collectively sound like a pathetic whimper. It's louder than any place I've ever been, and that includes "The Swamp" at Florida, "The Shoe" in Columbus and "Death Valley" at Louisiana State. Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die.
R.I.P. Michigan 2003.
The protagonist of our drama, as always, was John Navarre. Navarre willed the Wolverines back from a 24-6 second-half deficit. He threw for 360 yards, most of which came after intermission, and three touchdowns.
The fifth-year senior has been through it all. His character develops more and more with each pass he throws. His legacy at Michigan is still up in the air, but he has confirmed one thing with every single game he's played for Michigan: He's no quitter, and he's a leader worth fighting for. If you're anything like me, you wanted Navarre to win that game more than any other Wolverine.
But Navarre is becoming a tragic character in this cruel, repetitive plotline. No matter how hard he tries and how well he plays, it's never good enough.
What about Michigan's Rubbermaid defense? Always bends like underage drinking laws, but never breaks. Out of the Ducks' 31 points, just 17 of them came on offense. The Ducks held the ball for 24 plays before the Wolverines touched the ball on offense, and when they did get the ball, Oregon had a nice '0' on the scoreboard. Amazing. The Oregon offense was efficient for the entire game, but the Michigan 'D' gave our protagonist and his supporting cast a chance.
Crazy things happen when the Wolverines pack up their bags and head out West. Crazy things, mostly, on special teams. Aye, there's the rub. The Wolverines' special teams have haunted them in each production of "West Toast."
At UCLA in 2000, kicker Hayden Epstein missed two chip-shot field goals and an extra point, and No. 3 Michigan fell 23-20. At Washington in 2001, the Wolverines, up 12-6, had a field goal attempt blocked and returned to the house to give the Huskies a 13-12 lead. Instead of going ahead 15-6 and riding a pumped-up defense to victory, Michigan lost 23-18.
Saturday, the Wolverines gave up a punt return and a blocked punt for a touchdown, giving the Ducks 14 points in the kicking game.
The weird thing about the way this drama unfolds each time is that it never feels like the antagonist is Michigan's opponent. Michigan's antagonist is itself, and when it comes to the Wild West, it's the special teams.
Same plot, same characters.
Oh, but what of the script. The heavens gave this one a double-shot of creativity and a triple-shot of Absolut cruelty.
As the drama played out after intermission, a song from my past began to play over and over again in my head: Quit Playing Games With My Heart.
When Oregon took a 24-6 lead in the third quarter and Michigan didn't score on its next two possessions, I'd given up on our protagonist. One 98-yard drive, two touchdowns and a two-point conversion later, I was a believer again.
This went on and on throughout the final act. Jump off. Jump on. And when the heavens finally smiled on Michigan, down 31-27, with a recovered onside kick at its own 44-yard line with 2:12 to play (these things NEVER happen to the Wolverines), I believed there was no way this drama could end up yet another Wolverine tragedy.
Quit playing games.
When receiver Braylon Edwards, who played the character of a man possessed in the final act, couldn't catch a high throw from Navarre on 4th-and-7 from the Oregon 41-yard line, it was done.
Same plot, same characters, slightly-altered script.
If only this were a musical performance; the Wolverines would have the option of an encore.
Something tells me our hearts couldn't take it.

It's taken Hollywood 100 years to bring Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom novels to the screen as Disney's John Carter on March 9th. The otherworldly epic stars Taylor Kitsch as John Carter, a troubled former Civil War calvary soldier that is transported to the planet of Barsoom (better known as Mars, to you and me). He ends up in the middle of a war between differing species and factions that's been raging for thousands of years. As it turns out the gravitational changes on Mars turn Carter into something of a superhero, and he becomes a game-changer for the almost decimated planet.
Burroughs packed his 11 Barsoom novels with tons of world-building elements including foreign species with weird names, differing tribes (with weird names) and lots of mind-boggling inventions (with weird names). If you're uninitiated with the book verse of John Carter, then the movie might make your head spin a bit. Thus, we've created this Beginner's Guide to John Carter to help you navigate the faces, names and terms so you can enjoy the adventure - and not bug your seatmates asking "What?" for two hours.

The Palo Alto City Council doled out raises ranging from 2 to 9.5 percent to three of the city's top officials Monday night.
Without any discussion, the council voted 8-0 to approve agreements that will bump the annual salaries of City Manager James Keene from $247,187 to $262,241; City Attorney Molly Stump from $214,635 to $234,936; and City Clerk Donna Grider from $132,142 to $134,785.
The agreements are retroactive to July 1, 2013.
Keene's approximately 6 percent raise will be split into two parts, according to a city staff report. He will earn $254,603, effective July 1, 2013, and $262,241, effective the next pay period.
The first part reflects a merit increase for Keene's recent job performance and the second part a raise the council voted to give him after his last evaluation in 2012. He declined the raise at the time because other city employees had not received one, according to the report.
The city manager will also receive an additional week of vacation as part of his new agreement.
Salary bumps for Stump and Grider were also based on their job performance in the 2013 fiscal year. But Stump's pay was also increased by a total of about 9.5 percent to bring it in line with what other city attorneys make in "comparable agencies," according to a city staff report.
Bob Moss, a council watchdog, argued that Grider deserved a bigger raise than the 2 percent spelled out in her agreement.
"I think in terms of providing services to the community, the city clerk's office is far more valuable compared to the city attorney's office," Moss said. "I think you ought to reconsider."
Moss suggested that the city clerk received the least because the position has been traditionally filled by a woman. Meanwhile, the city attorney has typically been a man and the additional pay reflects that, he said.
Stripped from each of the agreements is a previous provision that automatically awarded salary adjustments approved by the council for management and professional personnel. From now on, the salaries of the officials will remain at their current level unless changed by the council.
The city manager, city attorney and city clerk are hired by the council and serve at its pleasure. A fourth, the city auditor, is also appointed, but is currently being filled on an interim basis.
The decision to increase the annual salaries of the officials follows the council's approval of a new two-year labor contract with Service Employees International Union Local 521 earlier this month.
All 570 members of the union received a 4.5 percent pay increase, with 2 percent kicking in in the pay period following council's approval of the contract and the rest on Dec. 1, 2014. In addition, the salaries of 315 workers in 89 job classifications identified as "under market" were adjusted upward.
The union contract is expected to cost the city an additional $7.6 million when fully implemented.
Councilman Greg Scharff was absent Monday.

JavaFX – Custom Feed Parsers
September 15, 2009 4 Comments
In one of my previous post I have described the use of RSS and ATOM Task to parse the feeds.
Unfortunately many feeds do not strictly comply with the RSS/ATOM format. Example: In some cases the date specified for pubDate element may be in wrong format, or its an invalid date or the information specified is embedded in CDATA instead of TEXT. The parser will fail for such scenarios. Hence we need to implement custom parsers so as to handle the situation.
Below sample reads engadget rss feed..
For Applet mode, click on above image
Both RssTask and AtomTask API provide an attribute – factory – which can be used to specify custom implementation of RSS or ATOM Factory. Users may also customize various elements such as Channel, Item, Entry, Feed by overriding functions such as – fromXML, tryParseDate etc.
Example: In some cases the default parser fails to convert pubDate to valid DateTime instance. So a new attribute – pubDateText – is added so as to save the date as String.
Now we need to implement a custom Factory which will instantiate and return the above CustomItem instance.
Above Factory is set in factory attribute of RssTask as shown below.
Update: Please refer to SpeedReaderFX by Jim Weaver for real world example.
Try it out and let me know feedback

A well-designed plan is necessary for successful investing, but you must also have the discipline to stay on course, rebalance, and tax-manage, as needed. Unfortunately, most investors do not have a written plan. And, emotions such as greed and envy in bull markets, and fear and panic in bear markets, can cause investors to discard even well-designed plans.
Here are some of the best quotes from Warren Buffett, arguably the best investor of our generation, from "Thoughts of Chairman Buffett: Thirty Years of Unconventional Wisdom from the Sage of Omaha" by Simon Reynolds:
• On hiring: "Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for the three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And, if they don't have the first, the other two will kill you."
• On market predictions: "I have never met a man who could forecast the market."
• On choosing investments: "It's like when you marry a girl. Is it her eyes? Her personality? It's a whole bunch of things you can't separate."
• On giving your kids a big inheritance: "The idea that you get a lifetime supply of food stamps based on coming out of the right womb strikes at my idea of fairness."
• On stocks with good histories: "The investor of today does not profit from yesterday's growth."
• On ethical investment management: "The investment manager must put his client first in everything he does."
• On thinking long term: "I wouldn't buy any stocks I would not be happy owning if they stopped trading it for three years."
• On predicting markets: "The fact that people will be full of greed, fear, or folly is predictable. The sequence is not predictable."
• On the limitations of wealth: "Money, to some extent, sometimes lets you be in more interesting environments. But, it can't change how many people love you or how healthy you are."
• On the ideal investor personality: "The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect. You don't need tons of IQ in this business. You don't have to be able to play three-dimensional chess or duplicate bridge. You need a temperament that derives great pleasure neither from being with the crowd nor against the crowd. You know you're right, not because of the position of others, but because your facts and your reasoning are right."
• On inheritance: "Children should be given enough to do what they want to do, but not enough to be idle."
• On risk: "Risk is not knowing what you're doing."
All of these thoughts are good places to start when developing your investing plan.
Use what you've read, create an approach which fits your needs, and execute. This disciplined process will guide you to make sound decisions.

McCain to vote against latest Obamacare repeal
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, speaks with reporters ahead of the party luncheons Tuesday on Capitol Hill in Washington. (REUTERS/Aaron P. Bernstein)
Mona Charen: Appreciating John McCain
Deadline nears, Republicans' last push to roll back Obamacare gains strength
WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain said on Friday he opposes the latest Republican bill to dismantle Obamacare, dealing the measure a heavy blow, with several other Republicans still undecided on the measure.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been planning to bring the bill to the Senate floor for a vote next week, setting up what would be another dramatic decision on a 2010 law that President Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans have vowed to dismantle.
But the announcement by McCain, a Republican who has often been at odds with Trump and who cast a crucial "no" vote in July that helped defeat a different Republican bill to repeal Obamacare, had the potential to up-end McConnell's plans. McConnell did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Republicans have only a slim Senate majority and cannot afford to lose many votes on the bill, their latest attempt to dismantle a law that brought health insurance to millions of Americans and became former Democratic President Barack Obama's signature domestic achievement.
McConnell has been trying to schedule a vote on the bill by Sept. 30, which is the last day it could pass with only a simple majority of 51 votes in the Senate. A vote taken any later than that would have to garner at least 60 votes for passage.
Republicans have long criticized Obamacare, known formally as the Affordable Care Act, as government overreach into America's healthcare system and have been trying to repeal it for seven years, but without success thus far.
The latest bill was introduced by Republican Senators Bill Cassidy and Lindsey Graham, who is a close friend of McCain's.
"I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal," McCain said in a public statement.
McCain, who cast his "no" vote in July just days after being diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer, said he could not support the bill without knowing how much it would cost and how it would affect insurance coverage, adding that both parties would do better to work together on legislation.
The Graham-Cassidy bill would take money spent by the U.S. government on the Medicaid program for the poor and disabled, as well as subsidies to help Americans buy private insurance, and divvy it up among states in block grants. Advocates say that would give states more discretion to manage their own healthcare schemes.
Under this plan, Alaska by 2026 would lose 38 percent of its federal funding for insurance subsidies and Medicaid, while Arizona would lose 9 percent, the Axios news website reported on Friday, citing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a unit of the Department of Health and Human Services that oversees Medicaid and the Obamacare program.
The CMS had no immediate comment on the Axios report.
Alaska's two Republican senators, Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, are both still on the fence over the bill.
McCain, of Arizona, is one of at least six Republican senators who either oppose the bill or whose positions are still not firm.
Rand Paul, of Kentucky, is the only other Republican senator who has publicly said he opposes the bill. Susan Collins, of Maine, said she was leaning against the bill, the Portland Press-Herald newspaper reported on Friday.

Altuzarra Woman Embellished Leather Slides Size 405 4cfdaALX9
). After 24 h, the absolute increase in SCr ranges from 0.6 mg/dl (no CKD) to 0.9 mg/dl (stage 4), whereas the percentage increase in SCr ranges from 23% (stage 4) to 78% (no CKD). For both severe and less severe AKI, the time necessary to reach a 50% percent increase in SCr increases markedly with increasing stages of CKD, whereas the time necessary to reach an absolute 0.5-mg/dl increase remains relatively constant ( Giuseppe Zanotti RUBBERIZED LEATHER MID TOP SNEAKERS F4VXP
and 4 ). Table 2 illustrates the application of the RIFLE criteria to AKI in patients with and without CKD and how different AKI stages are reached despite an identical reduction in CrCl.

Jordan Air First Class Light Bone/ Light Bone K5dMdWM5H
The trajectory of the SCr increase differs according to the severity of AKI and baseline kidney function, as seen in Figures 3 and 4 . The time to reach within 0.1 mg/dl of predicted steady-state SCr concentrations is shown in Table 3 , according to baseline kidney function and percentage reduction in CrCl. At any given level of baseline kidney function, the more severe the AKI, the longer it takes to approach steady-state SCr concentrations. Similarly, at any given percentage reduction in CrCl, the higher the baseline SCr ( i.e. , higher CKD stage), the longer it takes to approach steady-state SCr concentrations. Simple calculations from a single-compartment model also illustrate this point. A 100% increase in SCr from 2.0 to 4.0 mg/dl requires retention of 2.0 mg/dl creatinine throughout the volume of distribution (420 dl), or 840 mg of creatinine. By contrast, the same percentage increase from 1.0 to 2.0 mg/dl requires retention of 420 mg of creatinine. At a constant creatinine generation rate of 60 mg/h and complete cessation of CrCl, the time required to reach a 100% increase is 14 h, when baseline SCr is 2.0, and 7 h, when baseline SCr is 1.0 mg/dl.
If you're looking out for keto supplements to buy, you'll likely come across these four types.
This is the type that most folks who use ketone supplements end up buying.
They're made of Beta Hydroxybutyrate combined with a salt (like sodium or potassium) and that's where the name comes from.
These are currently used mainly in research by scientists – but you won't be missing out on much by avoiding them.
Although they raise your blood ketone levels considerably more than ketone salts, they also have a very strong and unpleasant taste (making them hard to swallow) and can cause digestive distress.
The most common type of ketone oil is MCT oil (aka Medium Triglyceride Oil).
It's slightly different to the other types of supplement, because MCTs aren't actually ketones (although your body converts them into ketones).
Once the MCT oil enters your body, it gets transported to your liver, where it is broken down into ketones.
This means it doesn't have such a rapid or strong impact on your blood ketone levels.
These are a common sight in the supplement aisles of pharmacies and health stores – and they have nothing to do with ketone bodies or ketosis, and there's no credible science suggesting it helps with weight-loss.
Well, a
New Balance LaceUp Mesh Sneakers AyPzs
compared all three of the legitimate ketone supplements and found that ketone esters were initially most effective… but by the time four weeks had gone by, the ketone salts had caught up.
You decide: in the next sections, we'll go over what health benefits you can expect from ketone supplements and the best ways to use them.
A popular question that gets asked a lot is this…
You'll have seen plenty of articles on the health benefits of ketosis (and we've also got one you can check out if you're curious).
And many bloggers seem to assume that supplementing with exogenous ketones will give you the same level of benefits as following a keto diet.
But that's not true: raising your ketone levels by carb restriction (nutritional ketosis) gives you greater health benefits than simply taking exogenous ketones.
You'll likely feel a slight energy boost from taking ketone supplements.
Whether you're taking ketone salts or MCT oil, your body can convert these into usable energy sources quite quickly which is why your energy lifts.
But in the long term, being on a healthy keto diet is still a better option. Eating well will help you regain the ability to use your body's fat stores as fuel which frees you from the energy spikes and dips of having a glucose-dependent metabolism.
This metabolic flexibility means your body always has a supply of energy available, whether it's from your fat cells or the foods you eat.
Ketone supplements could also increase your mental clarity by providing this quick source of energy for your brain cells.

Republican diversity: NH welcomes political ideasEDITORIAL
April 12. 2014 12:00AM
We are glad to see and hear so many national Republican voices in New Hampshire this weekend, capped by yesterday's "Freedom Summit" here in Manchester. It is both a reminder that the Granite State remains an important part of the political process and a reflection that there is a good deal of strength and diversity of opinion in a party that some in the chattering class have pronounced dead on arrival.
Thoughtful, engaging younger players like Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and New Hampshire's own Kelly Ayotte share more ideas and views about America than divide them. Veteran lawmakers such as Newt Gingrich continue to challenge his party, and the nation, to innovate and think optimistically. And one can count on Donald Trump to make one think while provoking the bejesus out of liberals everywhere.
To be sure, not all the Republican players were at this conservative-leaning event. Governors past and present were elsewhere, including Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, John Kasich, Chris Christie and Bobby Jindal.
And one of the brightest stars in the Republican firmament, one whose political courage matches his conservative convictions, was not here but will surely be in New Hampshire between now and a certain 2016 primary. U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan's name was on a lot of people's minds this spring weekend in the Granite State.
All good. Republicans of various stripes are offering up and debating suggested solutions to America's problems while too many Democrats, alas, are fixated on fleeing from the shambles of Obamacare that has so far cost just one Cabinet secretary her job while it has cost too many Americans time, money and jobs.

Anna Paquin, Ellen Page and Shawn Ashmore return to X-Men: Days of Future Past
Anna Paquin, Ellen Page and Shawn Ashmore are returning to 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'.
The trio have become the latest actors confirmed to reprise their roles in the new chapter of the franchise about a group of mutant superheroes, with director Brian Singer announcing the news over Twitter.
Brian gave special thanks to Brett Ratner, who directed the final film in the original trilogy, 'X-Men: The Last Stand', for letting their characters live.
He tweeted: ''Very excited to welcome #annapaquin, @ellenpage & @shawnrashmore to #XMen#DaysofFuturePast - thank [email protected] for letting them live!''
'True Blood' star Anna will once again play Rogue and up-and-coming actor Shawn will return as Bobby 'Iceman' Drake, while 'Juno' actress Ellen - who only featured in the third film - is due to come back as Kitty Pryde, a mutant who possesses the power to pass through almost any object.
Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen will return as Professor Xavier and Magneto, and James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender will play the younger versions of the characters in the time-travelling movie. Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Lawrence have also signed on to return.
Hugh - who plays clawed hero Wolverine - recently hinted that every actor to grace the screen in the franchise was likely to return for the ''action-packed'' follow-up, which will see the mutants trapped in futuristic concentration camps.
He teased: ''You wouldn't have enough room on the page after you've listed all [the stars]. Every other actor who's ever put on a superhero uniform will be in it. There's an element of time travel and, naturally, it will be action-packed.''

I don't know if this has already been speculated, but maybe Isshin's friendship w/ Ryuken is the reason he left SS. At one time, the shinigami made it their business to exterminate the Quincy. Even though the war eventually ceased, they still remained enemies somewhat. Maybe Ryuken did something that put him at odds with SS and they decided he had to be dealt with. But Ryuken, obviously being a very powerful Quincy would need a powerful shinigami to take him down. Probably someone at least captain level. Maybe Isshin was the one sent to deal with Ryuken, but couldn't go through with it, whether it was the disgust of aiding in genocide or some other circumstance. If Soul Society found out Isshin had spared a Quincy or worse, he had befriended one they'd find him guilty of treason and Isshin would have to escape and go into exile.

I think someone else said that Ryuken's sister could be Ichigo's mom, but that would mean Ishida is Ichigo's cousin O_o....that would be something wouldn't it?

Since the former 10th squad captain and troops on it is not been discussed on SS
i believed that Isshin and Vaizards is the one that role that squad....
before hitsugaya...
Why would isshin cover his white robe at his left shoulder?
he turned down the captain's responsibility like Urahara that we didnt see he wear the shinigami uniform...
at episode 111
when Isshin been exposed and ichigo and the vaizard noticed his presence
why would the Vaizard said, " so , its already been started"
i think he know that Isshin got his shinigami power back.
i have so much speculations that they were the former 10th squad

Royal Guard
Hi Guys. I m new here. Created an account so that I can join in the discussion cos I am so interest in Isshin like u guys too!
Anyway, amazing theories u guys have! ANd some pretty outrageous ones.
My take is this:
Isshin is a royal guard of the SS King. And the 'other' dimension that old man Yama said where the king resides is none other than Karahura Town. And that is why Aizen needs to absorbs all the souls from Karahura Town . Not bcos he needs ot to find or make the key, but the town IS the key. Aborbing all the souls unlocks the other dimension.
Now, Isshin is the royal guard. That's why he is in Karahura town. He is guarding/ hiding the place from intruders. Keeping the King concealed. He is the last line of defence before Aizen reach the SS King. In fact, I believe there are two guards. Bcos normally they are in pairs rmb? Like one on each side of the entrance of a door / buidling etc. The other guard is none other than Ishida's dad. Urruyu.
If you accept the fact the Isshin in a gigai can engage in child reproduction, why else cant be possible? Urruyu might be in a gigai too. He might be in SS too. That's why Isshin and Urruyu know each other. It looked like they had a history tgt. Heck the Quncy tradition!
Ok, maybe a bit far fetch. BUt I still believe in the 2 royal guards theory. The other guard might be Urahara or Yourichi.. i dunno..
Isshin is extremely strong bcos he is in a different league compared to the SS shinigamis. Regarding the love issue, i guess their mum is just a normal human. And Isshin married her as a cover while he conceals his true identity as a guard undercover. Isshin conceals his own huge reiastu by getting the nonregenerative gegai from Urahara. Both to conceal himself and protect his family. It just happens that Ichigo and Isshin are so emotionally attached to her..
Why all that secrecy? I believe somehow Isshin, Yorichi & Urahara knew of Aizen's plan long before anyone else. Urarhara in an atttempt to create a non detectable gegai for Isshin, was discovered and banished. They were all wary of Aizen (or Aizen's master). And knowing Urahara, as an inventor, he will inevitably have an recovery pill or something for Isshin to get his power back. And this is what happend when Isshin took back his power in anticipation of the upcoming battles.
And lastly..as for Aizen, I believe he is the pawn. The ultimate mastermind is ----- Old Man Yama.
Aizen, in pursue of greater powers beyond his limits, tries to kill the SS king. Does Aizen become king? No. The same way Aizen let loose the betrayals in his ranks to kill themselves, Old man yama watches as Aizen opens the door of opportunity for HIM. HE is the one that wants to kill the king. Thats a abit off topic but it links... LOL

I think every soul has a + and - side to it (ying & yang) Vizards can use both, shinigami use one side. Hollows the other. I wonder if KT will ever let us know how the vizard came to be?

Any further than that, it's speculation until Kubo lets more light on the subject. Would be an interesting side track for him to do sometime soon though.

I think Isshin has a great connection to a noble house and was exiled, by choice. I won't discredit his striking similarities to the Shiba clan, but the unmistakable quote by Byakuya about "my senior," or however you wish to interpret that, leads me to believe that Isshin has some close connection to the Kuchiki clan and/or had a leading position over Byakuya.

I didn't read the whole thread yet, but i've come to think that maybe Kaien, was his son - when he died from that hollow, Isshin was so pissed, that he wen't to the real world in his gigai (or, like Ichigo, he had already his real body on earth, who knows...). His wife was already dead, but as far as in bleach universum there is reincarnation, he found her once again, married her etc. They had three wonderfull childs, Isshin knew that they might have shinigami powers, but he didn't want them to end like Kaien, so he promised to never ever use his shinigami powers again. Thats why he ignored Hollow presence (i mean teh Grand Fisher~). The rest of the story we do know...
Sorry for my english, but i hope everyone understood

World War Z to undergo rewrite and reshoots
Brad Pitt's 'World War Z' is set to undergo a script rewrite and extensive reshoots even though filming has ended.
The actor - who is also one of the producers - shot the post-apocalyptic horror film in various locations around Europe last year but 'Prometheus' screenwriter Damon Lindelof has been brought on board to fix some problems with the first cut.
Lindelof is thought to be concentrating on the film's third act which reportedly needs serious restructuring.
The December 2012 release date has been pushed back to summer 2013 to allow for six to seven weeks of reshoots in September and October.
The movie is based on the 2006 novel by Max Brooks and also stars Mireille Enos, James Badge Daleand Anthony Mackie.
Marc Forster has directed the film.
The reshoots will be a blow to the studio Paramount who had hoped to turn it into a trilogy.
Brad Pitt's 'World War Z' is being considered as a potential trilogy.
The motion picture sees Brad portray the role of a United Nations fact-finder and family man who travels around the world to visit survivors of a zombie apocalypse which is referred to as World War Z.
Should the film be turned into a trilogy it is thought it will take on the same realism of Matt Damon's 'Bourne' series.

Sennheiser - Live Sound A-Team For Ed Sheeran & Emeli Sande
Sennheiser - Live Sound A-Team For Ed Sheeran & Emeli Sande
A huge range range of artists rely on Sennheiser mics in the studio and on stage. From everyones favourite compact Tom mic the E604 at your local rock gig all the way up to huge arena tours relying on the Series 2000 wireless system. Here we take a look at exactly how some of the worlds biggest acts are delivering superb sound, night after night in ever changing conditions.
Emeli Sande
We've already covered the gear Emeli used in the studio on 'Our Version Of Events' with producer Naughty Boy.
Having shot to success so rapidly there's been a little bit of adjustment to Emeli's live sound setup by her FOH engineer Darren Connor.
|Emeli Sande's Microphone
|On IEM Duties
Neumann KMS 105
Starting out on the KMS104, they switched to the 105 as the venues got bigger and needed better off axis rejection. The Hyper-cardioid response of the 105 was ideal.
Sennheiser EW300-IEM G3 Wireless In Ear Monitoring System
Speaking to monitor engineer Laura Davis, ""Emeli had been using the G3 system for a while when I started working with her. We then bought a further eight systems to use for the band when we started the UK/European tour in 2012"
Ed Sheeran
You can check out our in depth guide to Ed's studio gear here.
He's been around a little while longer than Emeli Sande and great live sound is every bit as much a priority for Ed Sheeran. Being very active on stage presented his FOH engineer with a few challenges that Sennheiser have helped him overcome.
|Ed Sheeran's Vocal Mic
|DI For Ed's Guitar
Sennheiser E865
When Ed met FOH Engineer Chris Marsh he was using a 945 capsule with a 2000 Series wireless system. However felt there were issues when Ed moved off axis and ran around on stage. It was felt the 865 was a better fit. The wired E865 will get that same world class vocal sound for a smaller scale gig.
Avalon U5
The Avalon U5 delivers amazing sound for one of the most important parts of Ed's sound, his guitar. Pure Class A tone that can change the way you hear DI bass and acoustic guitar.
Paloma Faith
Another British talent making waves abroad, Paloma has a more extensive stage setup than Ed or Emeli. So there's a broader range of challenges to be faced by monitor engineer Saul Skoutarides. He's also a big fan of the 2000 Series and G3 for IEMs but with the increase in fidelity in In-Ears artists are also demanding a greater range of instruments in the their monitor mix. So Saul uses Sennheiser for much of his backline, delivering studio quality sound on stage.
|Drums & Guitar
|Back Vocals
Sennheiser e906
With only one radio mic Saul uses a lot of classic wired Sennheiser mics. The e906 is designed for guitar with three switchable tonal characters. On drums it's the big brother of the 604 we mentioned before, the e904 is similarly compact but delivers even more punch and depth.
Sennheiser e935
Keeping things wired on BVs the 935 delivers greater cut and clarity in the mix.
