Iam over 60 and theArmed Forces thinksI'm too old to track

down terrorists. You can'tbe older than 42 to join the

military. They've got thewhole thing backasswards.

Instead of sending18-year olds off to fight,they ought to take us oldguys. You shouldn't beable to join a military unituntil you're at least 45.

For starters, researcherssay 18-year-olds thinkabout sex every 10 seconds.Old guys only think aboutsex a couple of times aday, leaving us more than28,000 additional seconds

per day to concentrate onthe enemy.

Young guys haven'tlived long enough tobe cranky, and a crankysoldier is a dangeroussoldier. 'My back hurts!I can't sleep, I'm tiredand hungry.' We are impa-tient and maybe letting uskill some a-hole thatdesperately deserves itwhich would make usfeel better and shut us upfor awhile

An 18-year-old doesn'teven like to get up before10am. Old guys alwaysget up early to pee, sowhat the heck. Besides,like I said, I'm tiredand can't sleep and sinceI'm already up, I may aswell be up killing somefanatical son-of-a-gun.

If captured we couldn'tspill the beans becausewe'd forget where we putthem. In fact, name, rank,and serial number would

be a real brainteaser.

Boot camp would beeasier for old guys. We'reused to getting screamedand yelled at and we'reused to soft food. We've

also developed an appre-ciation for guns.

We've been using themfor years as an excuse toget out of the house, awayfrom the screaming andyelling. Hey, they couldlighten up on the obstaclecourse however... I'vebeen in military and neversaw a single 20-footwall with rope hangingover the side, nor did Iever do any pushups aftercompleting basic training.

Actually, the running part is kind of a wasteof energy, too... I'venever seen anyone out-run a bullet.

An 18-year-old hasthe whole world aheadof him. He's still learningto shave, to start aconversation with a prettygirl. He still hasn't figuredout that a baseball cap hasa brim to shade his eyes,not the back of his head.

These are all great

reasons to keep our kidsat home to learn a littlemore about life beforesending them off intoharm's way.

Let us old guys trackdown those dirty rottencoward terrorists. Thelast thing an enemywould want to see is acouple million pissedoff old farts with attitudesand automatic weapons,who know that their best years are already

behind them.

Cruz Construction started a division in NorthDakota just 6 months ago. They sendevery Kenworth (9 trucks) we had

here in Alaska to North Dakota and several

drivers. They just bought two newKenworths to add to that fleet; onebeing a Tri Drive tractor and a new65 ton lowboy to go with it. Theyalso bought two new cranes (onecrawler & one rubber tired) for thatdivision. Dave Cruz said they havemoved more rigs in the last 6 monthsin ND than Cruz Constructionmoved in Alaska in the last 6 years.Williston is like a gold rush town;they moved one of our 40 man camps down there sincethere are no rooms available. Unemployment in ND isthe lowest in the nation at 3.4 percent last I checked. Seeanything in the national news about how the oil industryis fueling North Dakota s economy?

About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a newsprogram on oil and one of the Forbes Bros. was the guest.The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a directquestion and I would like a direct answer; how much oildoes the U.S. have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss abeat, he said, "more than all the Middle East put together."

The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April2008 that only scientists and oil men knew was coming,but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't beenupdated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area ofthe western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota,and extreme eastern Montana.

Check THIS out:The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since

Alaska 's Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to eliminateall American dependence on foreign oil. The EnergyInformation Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable(5 billion barrels), at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a

resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion."This sizable find is now the highest-producingonshore oil field found in the past 56 years," reports ThePittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a for-mation known as the WillistonBasin , but is more commonly re-

ferred to as the 'Bakken.' It stretches from NorthernMontana, through North Dakota and intoCanada.For years, U. S. oil exploration has beenconsidered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil'

companies gave up searching for major oil wellsdecades ago. However, a recent technological

breakthrough has opened up the Bakken'smassive reserves, and we now have

access of up to 500 billion barrels. Andbecause this is light, sweet oil, those billions

of barrels will cost Americans just $16PER BARREL !!!!!!

That's enough crude to fully fuelthe American economy for 2041years straight. And if THAT didn't

throw you on the floor, then this next one should -because it's from 2006 !!!!!!

U. S. Oil Discovery -Largest Reserve in the World

Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2008 - UpdatedReport 9/01/2011

Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the RockyMountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in theworld. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In threeand a half years of high oil prices none has beenextracted. With this motherload of oil why are we stillfighting over off-shore drilling?

They recently reported: They have more oil insidetheir borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth.Official estimates:

8 times as much oil as Saudi Arabia, 18 times asmuch oil as Iran

21 timesas much oil as Kuwait, 22 times as much oil as Iran500 times as much oil as Yemen

and it's all right herein the Western United States !!!!!!

Here's another way to look at the Federal Debt Ceiling: I've beensearching for a way to look at this crisis that even I could understand...

Let's say, You come home from work and find there has beena major sewer backup in your neighborhood....and your

home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.

What do you think you should do

Raise the ceilings, or pump out the crap?

You always have a choice.

It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, 'Onenation, under God.'

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandmentsposted in public places.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:You still say 'Christmas' instead of 'Winter Festival.'

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:You bow your head when someone prays.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:You stand and place your hand over your heart when theyplay the National Anthem.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:You treat vets with great respect, and always have.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:You've never burned an American flag.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so,no matter who is listening.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.I can only hope that you, like me, have just enough TRUE

AMERICAN in you to have the same beliefs as those talkedabout in this here.

God Bless the USA! Amen

You might be aTRUE AMERICAN if:

The GOP state senator earnshigh marks for his pro-businesslegislation.

The California Chamber ofCommerce tapped State Sen. TomHarman for his pro-business votingrecord in its 2011 LegislativeScorecard and ranking of BestBusiness Votes. The Chamber's

recognition was for supportinglegislation deemed job creatorsand opposing those that werejob killers.

Bringing jobs to Californiais my top legislative priority,"Harman said. "Fighting unneces-sary regulations, fees, taxes and

the other business busting policies is a must if we are serious aboutgetting Californians back to work. The California Chamber of Commerceis focused on recreating our once healthy business climate, and thatis good for all of us.

In 2010, Harman carried Senate Bill 954, the Jobs Protection Actand introduced a similar measure, Senate Resolution 11, earlier thisyear. The Jobs Protection Act would require an economic impact analysis

be completed for any bill that has a significant financial impact onCalifornia business.

Aerospace giant Boeing Co. announced

plans to establish a headquarters for itsnew spaceship program at NASAs

Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla.

The Chicago company is in the process ofdeveloping a seven-person spaceship, dubbedthe Crew Space Transportation-100, for the job

of ferrying astronauts to and from the InternationalSpace Station now that the space shuttle

program is over.

Boeing will consolidate the programsengineering and manufacturing operations, whichare now spread across the country in space-centric cities like Huntington Beach, Houstonand Huntsville, Ala. Boeings decision isexpected to bring back high-paying aerospace

jobs to the nations space coast, near CapeCanaveral, which lost thousands of jobs when theshuttle program was retired this year.

"We selected Florida due to the cost benefitsachieved with a consolidated operation, theskilled local workforce and proximity to our

NASA customer, John Mulholland, Boeings

program manager of commercial programs,said in a statement.

Boeing estimated that the workforce atKennedy Space Center will ramp up to 550

local jobs by December 2015. Although that's arelatively small number compared with the tensof thousands employed during the shuttle

program, the announcement was heraldedby state officials.

"We are extremely pleased that Boeing willlocate its commercialcrew headquarters here inFlorida," said FrankDiBello, president ofSpace Florida, the statesaerospace economicdevelopment agency."This positions ourstate well for futuregrowth and a leadershiprole in NASA's next-

generation human spaceexploration initiatives. Itis also a key factor inensuring Florida 'sspace-related economycontinues to thrive aftershuttle retirement."

In the coming years, NASA plans to relyon private businesses forloworbit space missionssuch as carrying cargo tothe space station. Thespace agency hopes thatone day the companieswill be able to take

astronauts into space as well.

Modern-day industrialists have pounced on thisopportunity, developing rockets and space shipsto assume the responsibilities.

Boeing's contender to fill the role is anApollo-like space capsule. Locally, engineers inHuntington Beach are developing the capsule's

pressure vessel, base heat shield and autonomousdocking systems.

A Huntington Beach resident charged with the cruel and malicious... fatallybeating a 77-year-old World War II veteran. The hostile act occured during arobbery on Veteran's Day. He was convicted Tuesday of murder.

Curtis James Hill, 29, was convicted of beating CecilWarren to such an extent that Mr. Warren remained in

a coma for more than three years after the 2003 at-tack in Huntington Beach. Warren was removed

from life support in 2007.Warren was working as a handyman and was

cleaning a bank parking lot at the time of the at-tack.

Hill and John Kirk McKinney, 29, were chargedwith kicking Warren in the head, robbing him and

leaving him bleeding.McKinney is charged with murder and is awaiting

trial, records show. Hill is scheduled to be sen-tenced Dec. 16. He faces up to life in

state prison without the possibil-ity of parole. That sentence

appears to be quite lenient.

Dear Earth-Talk: Why dont

more states mandatedeposits on beverage bot-

tles as incentives for people to return them? Mostbottles Ive seen only list a few states on them

-- Alan Wu, Cary, NC

So-called bottle bills,otherwise known ascontainer recycling

laws, mandate that certaintypes of beverage containersrequire a small deposit(usually five or ten cents) atcheckout beyond the price ofthe beverage itself. Customerscan return the empty containers

later and reclaim their nickelsand dimes. The idea is to

provide a financial incentivefor consumers to recycle andto force industry to re-use theraw materials.

According to the ContainerRecycling Institute (CRI), aCalifornia-based non-profitwhich encourages the collec-tion and recycling of packagingmaterials (and runs the websiteBottleBill.org), the benefits of

bottle bills include: supplyingrecyclable materials for a high-demand market;conserving energy, natural resources and landfillspace; creating new businesses and green jobs;and reducing waste disposal costs and litter. The10 U.S. states that currently have containerrecycling laws recycle at least 70 percent of their

bottles and cans; this amounts to a r ecycling rate2.5 times higher than in states without bottle bills.

Beverage containers make up a whopping 5.6percent of the overall U.S. waste stream, so everybottle and can that gets recycled counts towardfreeing up landfill space. And CRI reports that

beverage containers account for some 20 percentof the greenhouse gas emissions resulting fromlandfilling municipal solid waste and replacingthe wasted products with new ones made from

virgin feedstock. So by promoting morerecycling, bottle bills indirectly reduce ourcarbon footprints.

The 10 U.S. states with bottle bills areCalifornia, Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine,Massachusetts, Michigan, New York,

Oregon and Vermont. Delawares legislaturerepealed its bottle bill after almost three decadeson the books last year as the states bottlerecycling rate had dropped to just 12 percent d ueto more and more retailers refusing to deal withthe hassle of accepting returned containers. In

place of its bottle bill, Delaware enacted a$0.04/bottle recycling fee that will help defraythe costs of starting up a curbside recycling

pickup system to service the entire state.

We are extremely disappointed they chose torepeal their law, rather than enforce it, reportedCRIs Susan Collins, adding that the new fee

places a burden on consumers only. Consumerswill be subsidizing the producers and that isunfair. CRI supports extended producer

responsi b i l i t y where p roducers andconsumers together pay for the life cycle costs of

product packaging.

Beyond Delaware, the main reason bottlebills havent caught on is because of opposition

to them by the beverageindustry, which doesntwant to bear the costs ofrecycling and claims thatthe extra nickel or dime onthe initial cost of thebeverage is enough to turnpotential customers away.The U.S. Public InterestResearch Group (USPIRG)found that the beverageindustry and its represen-

tatives spent about $14million in campaigncontributions aimed atdefeating a nationalbottle bill between 1989and 1994. Meanwhile,members of a Senatecommittee who votedagainst national bottlebill legislation in 1992received some 75 timesmore in beverage-

industry PAC money than thosewho voted in favor of the bill.

Americans enjoy wine. Last year,we surpassed France as the world'slargest wine-consuming nation. Buttoo often, we're intimated by it.

Wine Enthusiast's Steve Heimoffrecently wrote about the "poison" ofwine snobbery "that continues to make

so many Americans wary of wine." Ashe explained, "[Consumers] can sense it,like a 'Don't come in here, you don'tbelong' exclusionary velvet rope."

Fortunately, this is changing fast.Across the country, Americans are em-bracing wine. For evidence, look nofurther than your closest Olive Garden.

With 721 locations nationwide,it's no surprise that the restaurantchain serves more than 600 millionbreadsticks and 165 million bowls ofsalad each year. But the restaurantalso serves more wine than any otherchain in the United States. In 2006,Olive Garden sold more than 500,000cases of wine.

In part, Olive Garden sells so muchwine because it takes educationseriously. As wine economist MikeVeseth has written, "many restaurantsexpect that their wait staff will pick upwine knowledge Olive Garden reallyworks at it, by providing literallyhundreds of thousands of hours of train-ing." The restaurant also gives away freesamples, where legal. In 2006, it gaveaway 30,000 cases of wine, whichequates to 4.5 million pours.

These efforts demystify wine. It's no

wonder why Veseth has describedOlive Garden as "the optimistic futureof American restaurant wine."

Another company - CellarTracker! -is also combatting the poison ofwine snobbery.

In 2003, Eric LeVine, aMicrosoft executive, builta data-managementprogram for his winecellar. When heshowed the programto some friends,they begged himto share it. So he

put the programonline, wherefriends could tracktheir personal inventoriesand share tasting notes.LeVine then decided to makehis program available toeveryone, for free.

Today, about 500,000 people visit CellarTrackereach month, and nearly2,000 wines are reviewed onthe site each day. This meansCellarTracker users review morewines in just six days than RobertParker, the world's most well knownwine critic, reviews in an entire year.

The site isn't just used by wine

junkies about 90 percentof i ts vis i tors aren' tregistered. As wine writer

Jeff Siegel oncewrote, "this

means people aren'tgoing to CellarTracker

to mark off a wineafter they drink it;

they're going toCellarTrackerto read winereviews written

by amateurs."This runs

counter to so muchof what's sacred in

the wine world. We'resupposed to decide

what to drink based onthe advice of prominent winecritics - not mere amateurs.

It's about time. Last timeyou visited a new restaurant,you probably logged ontoYelp before leaving. Before

your last vacation, you probably spent some time

perusing TripAdvisor. Book purchasersare more likely read the reviews ofamateurs on Amazon than seek theadvice of New Yorker's literary critic.

Wine consumers are no different.

We still need advice, ofcourse, and professionalsare still important. Buttoday's consumers are alsocomfortable turning tolocal specialists, like thestaff at Olive Garden, andknowledgeable amateurs,like CellarTracker users,

for advice.This also helps explain why

neighborhood wine shops are moreimportant than ever before. Across thecountry, specialty wine shops aretaking off. Many don't post reviewsfrom wine magazines, as they seescores as an impediment to interactingwith consumers. So instead, they payattention to consumer preferences, offerfood-and-wine pairing advice, and steercustomers toward interesting wines.

The list goes on. Hip sommeliers arealso combating wine snobbery, as areenthusiasts of local wine, from thefarmers who grow the grapes to thebloggers who cover the movement.

The impending death of winesnobbery is welcome. Wine has beenwith us for millennia, so wineappreciation shouldn't be reservedexclusively for the connoisseurs.

Several friends have hadmedical test recently...and you know what...Life is

too short.

Even doctors are now saying thatthere is value in trying LEMON

So, a tablespoon of "real lemon"(or the concentrate in a bottle) in aglass of water every morning.What can it hurt?

Footnote: Institute of Health

Sciences, 819 N. L.L.C. CharlesStreet Baltimore, MD 1201. This isthe latest in medicine, effective forcancer!

Read carefully & youare the judge.

Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is10,000 times stronger thanchemotherapy.

Why do we not know aboutthat? Perhaps, because there arelaboratories interested in making asynthetic version that could bring

them huge profits. You can nowhelp a friend in need by lettinghim/her know that lemon juicecould be beneficial in preventingsome diseases. Its taste is pleasantand it does not produce the horrificeffects of chemotherapy.

As you know, the lemon tree isknown for its varieties of lemonsand limes. You can eat the fruit indifferent ways: you can eat the

pulp, juice press, prepare drinks,sorbets, pastries, etc... It is creditedwith many virtues, but the mostinteresting is the effect it produceson cysts and tumors.

Some saythis plant is a provenremedy against cancers of alltypes. Some say it is very us eful insome variants of cancer. It isconsidered also as an antimicrobial spectrum against

bacterial infections and fungi,effective against internal parasitesand worms, it regulates blood

pressure which is too high and anantidepressant combats stress

and nervous disorders.

The source of thisinformation is fascinating: itcomes from one of thelargest drug manufacturersin the world, says thata f t e r m ore t han 20laboratory tests since 1970,the extracts revealed that: Itdestroys the malignant cells in 12cancers, including colon, breast,

prostate, lung and pancreas...Thecompounds of this tree showed10,000 times better than the

product Adriamycin, adrug normally usedchemotherapeutic inthe world, slowing thegrowth of cancer cells.

And what is even moreastonishing: this type of therapywith lemon extract only destroysmalignant cancer cells and it doesnot affect healthy cells.

Noah Joseph says..."I t's not

every day that Mercedes-Benz comes out with a newSL. The roadster that anchors thetop of the company's non-AMG pro-duction range tends to enjoy an un-usually long lifecycle. The iconicfirst-generation Gullwing was onthe market for ten years. The second-gen model lasted just eight years,

but the third iteration wasaround for a whoppingeighteen. The boxyfourth version wasaround for fourteenyears, and thecurrent model thatreplaced it has

been on the marketsince 2003, with a facelift that

came in 2008.

Fortunately, a new model is onits way and should put the M kV outto pasture after ten long years ofservice. Due sometime next yearas a 2013 model, these are theclearest shots we've seen yet ofwhat to expect.

Now stripped of all

but a bare minimum of disguising,

the 2013 SL looks a bit more sveltethan the model it replaces, thoughthat doesn't tell us if it'll be anylighter: the current two-seat foldinghardtop convertible weights as

much as some SUVs.

The more upright front grille is

both a nod to the SLS AMG andlikely a measure to comply with pedestrian-impact regulationsenacted in Europe.

It looks as though LEDs arelurking in the lower front intakes oneither side, with what seems like itcould house a side intake behind the

front wheels. The testmule is draped in

a new shade ofcopper wehaven't seen before, andwe suspect

that thoseunf l a t t e r i ng

wheels are temporary"

After watching loyalty fade for a decade,automakers are using technology to keep youaddicted to their brand

Social media and "transparent connectivity"may play an increasing role in automotive brandloyalty (Hyundai).

AOL's Ross Kenneth Urken speaks up and turns on by reporting..."After a decade of watching brandloyalty fade away, automakers are trying to hookcustomers into long-term relationships by offeringthem technology they can't live without.

Doug Scott, senior vice president of GfK Automotive,a market research group, says automakers who cangive their buyers all-encompassing access to music,Internet search and GPS will make their customersfeel like they are still at home. And that gives thecarmaker a better shot at keeping those customersnext time they're in the market for a car.

"At home, you're using your Facebook page,checking your email," Scott said. "People are goingto want to hop in their car and be exactly where theywere when they were connected in their breakfastnook or home office. It's the Apple experience."

Brand loyalty used to be a much bigger part of carbuying. Families identified themselves as Ford or

Chevy buyers (or some other brand) and that's thebrand they stuck with, until they had enough moneyto move up the chain into a Lincoln or a Cadillac.

But that's changed.Gen Y, the youngest generation buying cars today,

buys from the same automaker only 32% of the time.

That's compared with 55% of Baby Boomers, and62% of pre-Boomers.

Kelley Blue Book recently released its topautomotive loyalty rankings. Hyundai came in first,followed by Toyota, Subaru, Kia and Ford. Ford hasbeen working diligently at offering consumers a bevy

of in-car entertainment and connectivity, so it's nosurprise it is the one domestic car manufacturer tomake this list.

Consumers shouldn't mourn the loss of loyalty,though. When automakers could rely on a certainpercentage of its customer base just coming back year

after year, they got complacent and started makingbad cars. That opened up the market to foreign brandslike Toyota, which came in and started listening toconsumers and making cars they wanted.

Younger customers don't feel the need to just buythe same thing they bought before. But Scott saysthey could get hooked on a brand if it offers themwhat they want.

And brands who have the best social media strategymay be the ones who are best at getting youngercustomers into the dealership. Getting them in thedoor is a huge step towards selling them a car.

A generation ago, buyers knew very little about acar before going to the dealership. So they relied ondealers to get 80% of the information crucial tobuying their next vehicle from the dealer.

"The buyer experience is going to be dictated byhow connected I was prior to going to the dealership,"Scott said."

Fountain Valley RegionalHospital (FVRH) reached amilestone on November 1

when it celebrated the 40thanniversary since opening its doorsto the community.

The physicians who foundedthis hospital 40 years ago wereahead of their time, states SheldonBarasch, M.D. Dr. Barasch has

been with FVRH since before itopened its doors, when he wasgiven responsibility for setting upthe hospital laboratory. They hadthe foresight to see what thecommunity needed. They werevery concerned about acquiring theright technology and aboutdelivering quality patient care, theway they felt it should be delivered.FVRH has been a success since itstarted because it opened at theright place, at the right time, withthe right interests at heart.

In thanks to the communitywhich has supported it over theyears, Fountain Valley RegionalHospital provided free flu shots tocommunity residents.

The hospital also hosted city andstate officials and key hospitalleaders during an anniversaryluncheon featuring a slide showcelebrating the hospitals growth

and service to the com-munity, and presentationof city proclamations.

We are proud thatFountain Valley RegionalHospital is part of atradition of quality patientcare, skilled physicians,and culturally sensitiveand caring staff, notesDebbi e Wal sh , t hehospitals CEO.

The hospital opened in1971 as Fountain Valley

Community Hospital, owned by agroup of physicians called FountainValley Medical DevelopmentCo. Over theyears, it ex-

panded in

many ways.In the 1980s,the hospitalopened a4-bed NICUand 8-bedPICU. In the1990s, the

NICU ex-panded to 22beds and thePICU expanded to 11 beds, and thehospital added sub-ICU beds and aBariatric Program. In 1994, thehospital was purchased by OrNdaHealthCorp and then subsequently

by Tenet Healthcare in 1996, itscurrent owner. In this decade,the hospital has made furtherinvestments by adding a TelemetryUnit onto the 2nd floor of theWomen & Childrens wing,opening a unit on the 4th floor ofthe East Tower, adding a PediatricPlayroom and Teen Room,renovating and updating to digitalequipment in the Breast Care andImaging Centers and updating theOutpatient GI Lab. During this

time, the hospital also redesignedits corporate logo to its nowimmediately identifiable palm logoin orange and blue. In 2009-2010,the hospital held a grand openingfor its new entrance with expandedlobby and waiting areas, anexpanded ER lobby, triage and wait-ing area, added a 5-bed observationarea, renovated cardiology andnuclear medicine areas and updatedthe OB post-partum and Labor/Delivery/Recovery rooms.

There have clearly been manyenhancements to the quality of

patient care over the years. EvelynWeickum, a switchboard operator,

started withFVRH inDecem ber 1971, onemonth afterit opened itsdoors. She hasworked atthe hospitalcontinuouslyfor the fourdecades ithas servedthe commu-

nity. This has been my secondfamily for 40 years, she notes. Asa community hospital, FountainValley was a doctor-owned andoperated facility, withmany of the doctorswives also working asvolunteers. This was trulya family oriented busi-ness. Over the years, Ihave seen it grow, changeand become a muchgreater regional medicalcenter, rather than just thecommunity hospital itoriginally was.
