A system of "skyways" (small, fully enclosed pedestrian bridges) link the buildings across more than 60 city blocks of the downtown region, providing a way to travel around the city without being exposed to the wide temperature extremes of the climate. The system is widely used by the daytime worker population and downtown residents, who are able to move around without their coats and other outdoor gear all day long. The street-level foot traffic is greatly reduced (especially as the outdoor temperature dips) and many businesses that would normally be located at ground level in other cities are instead brought up to the second floor. In fact, the interconnected passageways that include restaurants...

Minneapolis has a large park system consisting of ten square miles (26 km2) of land and water that is interlinked in many places. The Grand Rounds Scenic Byway circles through the city and brings together many of the bigger park areas including land along the Mississippi River, many of the city's lakes, and other scenic areas of the city. The route has a parkway for cars (not a freeway—literally just a roadway through park land, though the number of stops is reduced), a bikeway for riders, and a walkway for pedestrians all running in roughly parallel paths along the 50-mile route. It is the first natural scenic byway totally located in a major urban area(dubious; discuss) . Additional routes...

Coffee intake linked to lowerdiabetes risk Drinking coffee, especially when itis decaffeinated, will be associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes,according to a report in the Sept 26 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine,one of the JAMA/Archives journals. The link between coffee and diabetes riskappears to be very consistent across different ages and body weights; in addition,most research has found that the more coffee an individual drinks, the lowerhis or her risk for diabetes. However, it remains unclear whether it is thecaffeine or any other ingredient in coffee, which may confer a protective effect. Mark A. Pereira, Ph.D., and colleaguesat the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, had...

It is obvious to me why the Northeast U.S. is flooded. That part of the country is full of Democrats, gays, Amish and small children who sass their parents. God is punishing them. Oh I know what you are thinking. "Well Washington was flooded too." Yes, that's true, but did you notice that the only building that had to be closed down for a month was the IRS? In that case, it's a blessing and a gift to those in high places for "staying the course." One man's curse is another man's blessing. God has, no doubt, been waiting for Hurricane season to start up again in the U.S.It's the smitting season for God and he anticipates it like a serial killer who also happens to be a loving father type to...

1) Make it part of the agenda.Put the arrival time on the agenda. For example, for a meeting scheduled to start at 9:00 AM, you could put "8:50 AM - - - Arrive at the Meeting" at the top of the agenda.An arrival time is useful because it allows everyone time to socialize, obtain coffee, or organize materials before the meeting. It also ensures everyone is present at the scheduled starting time.2) Offer a treat.Provide coffee, juice, or a vegetable platter before the meeting. This can be especially welcome for all-day meetings attended by people from other locations. It provides a time for socializing between visitors and it may also provide a meal for those who came from out of town.But here's the...

A tomato importer, John Nix, decided to challenge the law after scrutinizing the Tariff Act. His case relied on the fact that tomatoes were a fruit and not vegetable, therefore, it should not be subjected to the Tariff Act. Nix's objections brought the case to the Supreme Court in 1893. Although Nix had a solid case, the Supreme Court rejected the botanical facts and continued to refer to tomatoes as a vegetable.Plant family Tomatoes belong to the genus Lycopersicon, while potatoes belong to the genus Solanum; Both of which belongs to the same "flowering plant family" solanaceae. The similarities in leaves and flowers justifies this taxonomic grouping.The UK - Introduction of the tomato When the...

Have you been reading those alarming headlines lately:"the avian flu will be in the United States in a few months because of migrating birds"?Well, consider this evolving story about a possible preventative: sauerkraut.This story started last November as scientists at Seoul National University in South Korea fed an extract of kimchi, a spicy Korean variant of sauerkraut, to 13 chickens infected with avian flu, and a week later, 11 of the birds started to recover, according to a report by the BBC Network.Well guess what? A company that makes sauerkraut in Wisconsin made these claims: "we've got the preventative, and 115,000 tons of it in Wisconsin alone," said Ryan Downs, owner and general manager...

We have a serious problem brewing with GPS navigation systems for automobiles and even motorcycles. There are however problems with this devise as a high tech toy are more serious than you might think. Ask anyone in a metro area who has bought a new car with one of those cool GPS upgrades for their SUV or new sports car.

Places near large DMA metros are a problem out in the middle class suburbs. In many areas such as outside...

I've a confession to make. I used to be Santa Claus. Not the real Santa, of course, but one of the Shopping Mall Santas who help out the Big Guy in Red, filling in for him in department stores and malls around the country talking to children and having their pictures taken with them. A great part time job that lasts only one month a year, from the day after Thanksgiving up to Christmas Eve.How did I get into this gig? By answering a help wanted ad in the local newspaper that said, simply, "Now Hiring Santas. Training Provided." And a number. I had no idea until that day that temporary employment agencies provided Santas for stores, but as a child I'd sat on the big elf's lap, told him my...

One thing that I enjoy very much when going on a vacation or just traveling somewhere special is when we try different restaurants and places to eat. Of course, when we go to a new place, we don't know where we can find the best food. Therefore, usually we used restaurant guides to help us find restaurants in an unknown town. Soon, we realized that restaurant guides most of the time provided us with disappointing results. We found out that restaurant guides were not giving us correct information about the best places to eat as they were usually printed by restaurant owners who were advertising their business. We needed a more reliable method than restaurant guides were. In the quest for an effective...

Dunn Bros Coffee was founded by Ed Dunn in 1987. In college, he took note of the success of coffeehouses in certain areas of the country. To gain a deeper grasp of the industry, Ed Dunn immersed himself in the food service industry and coffee-related retail work. Particularly, in December of 1987, Ed opened his first coffeehouse with the help of his brother, Dan, in St. Paul, Minnesota. The two decided to open the Dunn Bros Coffee in St. Paul because the area was similar to Portland, Oregon--another area of the country with a large coffee-drinking population. Dunn Bros Coffee is a coffee franchise spreading across the Midwest. Dunn Bros Coffee has locations in Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, South...

Write your own article.Okay, that might sound a bit too easy. Yet with the possible exception of public speaking, nothing establishes your business credibility like penning an article with your name and company in the byline. Yet even with all the content-starved publications out there, very few businesses take advantage of this golden opportunity.The answer why is quite simple: most businesses, large or small, don't consider it as an option. Interesting because most companies won't think twice about putting out a press release. Even if a publication does a feature based on your release, you're at the mercy of editors and reporters and there's no guarantee the article will depict your firm in the...

October 2, 2006 (New York, NY)- Now that 22 teams have been banished from the post season party, we may now get down to the business at hand, of anointing the 2006 World Series Champion. The proceedings get under way just shortly after 1:00 pm EST on Tuesday when the AL West division champion Oakland A's travel to Minneapolis to face the Twins. Oddmakers at my favorite sportsbook have installed the Yankees and Mets as the odds on favorites to clash in the Fall Classic with the Minnesota Twins expected to be the main opposition for the Bronx Bombers in the AL. The Twins will get the betting action going when they invite the Oakland A's to the noisy Metrodome and the Barry Zito and the rest of his A...

Financial Benefits of Environmental ResponsibilityUp until approximately 6 months ago, I was of the impression that being conscious of the environment was strictly for the benefit of the environment itself, and that I would derive nothing from it; the ultimate beneficiary of any recycling/waste reduction would be future generations, and the greater effect of my efforts would occur long after I was gone.Thanks to Dr. Anthony Watanabe and my work as the web developer for the Toronto Regional Green Building Festival website, I have come to the realization that there are reasons beyond the ecological benefits mentioned above.In speaking with Anthony, I noticed that he uses the word "sustainability" and...

Three little pigs went to the market to stock up for the future.The first little pig liked chips so he went to the DOW market. He was told by everyone you could always rely on their products. They were always good. The manager told him you could put them away and forget about them.The second little pig liked spicy things. He shopped at the NASDAQ market where they had unusual products. He said that his purchases were good to put away even though they had some strange ingredients. He took his home and said he did not need to worry about them even though others had told him to be careful.The third little pig went to both of those markets. He would pinch the tomatoes and squeeze the...

The story began with our first night on Malta. It was a comedy of errors, though it didn't seem all that funny at the time. I foolishly rented a car and we drove around lost until nearly four o'clock in the morning when we happened to run into a friendly police officer who led us to our hotel.From that point, nothing especially eventful happened except that we found a wonderful little Guest House in the city of Sliema, the Soleado, and took up residence there. During our week's sojourn, we spent most of our days visiting Valletta and doing other touristy things and our nights trying out new things to eat. I actually liked Octopus and Rabbit stew. And the snails weren't too bad, either. With our time...

It was a hot July night (not a Hot August Night) in London and I was to see Neil Diamond perform live for the first time.

I was born on a hot summer morning in Minneapolis, MN. Six months later I was adopted. I grew up in a working-class neighborhood in south Minneapolis, just a few blocks away from the Mississippi River and Lake Street. Evie was born 23 months later and grew up in the "poor section" of the Washburn High School district. Our fathers were middle-class workers, my Dad with the Minneapolis Gas Company, and hers as an inspector with the City of Minneapolis. My Mom was a full-time homemaker, hers, a working mom doing part-time bookkeeping during the war. We each have an adoptive sibling, Evie a brother, Jim.

One was a Omaha Steaks cookbook.The cookbook not only contained recipes but also a bunch of bounceback special offers.Each of these offers were specifically designed to get you to call Omaha Steaks up...

Fun Partnerships with KBEM Minneapolis Schools have a unique relationship with local radio. As radio is the voice of the people and the Minneapolis schools educate those same people, it seems a natural match. Local radio station KBEM has had a long relationship with Minneapolis schools and been an active partner in community events to help students, teachers, and parents stay in touch and stay active in the Minneapolis school system. One of the most popular ways that this partnership is shown is in the National Night Out celebrations held this past summer. KBEM was instrumental in gathering the community together for a festival of music, freedom, and getting to know each other. The event has...

Jog along on a hilarious, reckless ride through Old London." 1975 Complete Guide to Walt Disney World"Mr. Who?" asks the wide-eyed child about to enter The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh attraction, dragging his exhausted parents on for the third time today. Sorry, my friend, he isn't the "lost" Power Ranger, he's not "Experiement 213" from Lilo & Stitch, nor will you likely see him in the "House of Mouse" or "That's So Raven" on the Disney Channel. No, Mr. Toad was born in 1908, a little but before your time, in a popular tale called the "Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Grahame. In 1949, he and his oddly-named friends like Moley, Mac Badger, Ratty and Winky were adapted by the folks at Disney...

In the '30s and '40s, during the heyday of radio and long before television, comedy was king. People were sick of the realities of the Great Depression and wanted to laugh. Jack Benny, Fred Allen, Burns and Allen, and Amos and Andy were some of the big stars. What Americans wanted in entertainment was obvious and it didin't take a great deal of psychoanalyzing to understand why.Then came the fifties and television became the popular media. Fans followed their favorite comedians to the screen and comedy stars, especially Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Jack Benny were the household words. It was a return to the days of Vaudeville. But a new form of comedy appeared, the Sitcom. America was blessed with I...

Grant Wood was born in Iowa where he spent most of his life. As a young child he loved drawing with charcoal and after graduating from high school he studied art in Minneapolis and Chicago. During World War I he did camouflage work for the Army. Then he became an art teacher. At that point he had already found the essential imagery of his future works: rolling landscapes, folk architecture and farmers. However he still painted in a manner that was not particularly original, and which could be called pseudo-impressionistic. He went to Paris in 1923, but it is, in fact, his stay in Munich in 1928 that really influenced his art. In Germany Wood became fascinated by the work of the Flemish primitives...

Amber Hiccums had had a great fall and winter in Paris and New York, and now spring was here in Ireland and she sprang out of the jaunting-car to reconnoiter with her dear friends Harmie and Armie, the most beloved couple in Dublin. Harmonious Claribel Euphony was by every man's calculation, the biggest gent in Dublin. Some took him to be equal to the length and breadth of it, and his wife, Armonium Laribel Phonieux, the most sinuous, continuous, roundabout and plural of women. There was trouble in Dublin. Before Amber could unpack or even pull down her ever-popping-up collar, Armie took her by the hand. --Let's stroll along the river, lovey, and I'll fill you in. We've had a serious robbery...

It all happened like this. My daughter-in-law called me and told me that my granddaughter was getting married in Nauvoo, Illinois on the 22 day of December. I said, "A wedding in the winter? Just before Christmas? Well, have a great time and give my love." She said, "You're coming!" It was in that way of hers that said, "YOU ARE COMING!" I said, "The last time I was out that way at Christmas time in Illinois and Michigan a zillion cars and trucks slid off the road . I'm not going to do that again, ever. Why don't they get married now while it is still warm?" She said, "They're getting married in December. You are going to fly out and you won't have to drive." I said, "You drive about ninety miles an...
