“I just wanted to thank you

When the nation was struggling through the energy crisis of the late 1970s, District Energy St. Paul was conceived out of a need to establish a stable and cost-effective means of heating downtown buildings. The founders were visionaries with an entrepreneurial spirit who looked beyond traditional solutions. They imbued in the company a culture of innovation that continues to guide us today.

As proud as we are of our success, we must look beyond the horizon to ensure that our future energy systems will be cost-effective and fully sustainable. Our ultimate goal is to completely eliminate the use of fossil fuel. This goal is attainable if we broaden our thinking and envision District Energy as a provider of integrated energy solutions rather than a traditional district energy system.

An integrated energy system is one that combines aspects of multiple systems and technologies to achieve greater efficiencies than any single system could ever achieve on its own. The combined heat and power (CHP) plant is one example of such a system. We use steam turbines to generate electricity, and capture the excess steam to heat the water used to heat downtown Saint Paul buildings.

Integrating energy systems can help solve the challenges that prevent a renewable energy technology from reaching its full potential, thereby making it more viable and cost-effective. For example, consider the promising technology of solar thermal, in which the sun’s energy is used to heat water, which can then be used to heat buildings. This is a great solution as long as the energy supply and customer demand remain in balance. However, when the system supplies more hot water than is needed, how do you store that energy and keep it available for use at night?

A hot water district energy system is the perfect complement to the use of solar thermal systems. We already have the hot water distribution system in place. By connecting a solar thermal system and adding a storage tank to the network, we could take in as much hot water as the solar system could create, distribute whatever amount is needed, and store the excess for future use. District Energy has been testing solar thermal heating on a small scale for the past year, using panels made in Minnesota, and we believe there is great potential for larger-scale application in the near future. Integrating these solutions with a biomass-fueled CHP plant increases energy efficiency and reduces costs.

Another means of producing more energy with less fuel is by recovering waste heat from our current heating plant. While the CHP facility is very efficient by conventional standards, we could extract even more usable energy from the same amount of fuel by implementing advanced heat recovery techniques and additional thermal storage. We are optimistic that we can

implement these advanced techniques in the next three to five years. This project would also reduce the steam plume that is visible around our plant in cold weather.

Biomass provides additional possibilities for integration into the district energy system. Wood residue already comprises about 70 percent of our fuel mix, but we are looking into other sources of agricultural byproducts, such as corn stover pellets, resulting from harvesting operations. Other methods of extracting energy from biomass are also being explored.

As the world confronts the dual realities of climate change and increasing energy demand, we must look beyond fossil fuels for long-term solutions. Fortunately, many companies, universities and governments are making substantial investments in energy research and development. We are uniquely positioned to integrate the best of these technologies into our system, making each technology more efficient than it could ever be by itself. That is the beauty of an integrated energy system, and we intend to be industry leaders for years to come.

Physician Intervention Services

Discreet. Confidential. Effective.

Do you have a disruptive physician on

your staff? Someone who intimidates,

bullies or demeans coworkers and

patients, has verbal outbursts,

throws items at others or makes

physical threats? A physician who

engages in inappropriate sexual

behavior or retaliates against those

who make complaints?

Physicians exhibiting disruptive

behavior can be extremely costly in

terms of lost time, productivity and staff

morale. Unchecked, they potentially

threaten the safety of your patients and

staff, diminish the reputation of your

institution—and increase your exposure

to malpractice suits.

It’s often hard to know what to do and

how to do it—particularly in the early

stages when an inappropriate behavior

is noticed but not deemed critical.

Yet the need for early and effective

intervention has never been greater:

In order to keep JCAHO accreditation,

every hospital now must have a

system in place for recognizing and

effectively dealing with disruptive

physicians—whether they’re on staff

or simply have privileges.

In order to minimize the risk of

adverse events and malpractice

suits, medical groups must have the

awareness and skill set to intervene

effectively when a colleague or

employee first begins behaving

unprofessionally.

Organizations that identify and

deal with disruptive behaviors

and performance problems at the

earliest stages can not only save a

considerable amount of time and

money—but also mitigate risk.

RESEARCH DONE BY VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY

MEDICAL CENTER SHOWED THAT 9% OF

PHYSICIANS ACCOUNTED FOR 50% OF

UNSOLICITED PATIENT COMPLAINTS—AND OVER

50% OF MALPRACTICE DOLLARS PAID OUT OVER

THE STUDY PERIOD.

The body’s natural reaction to stress, called the fight or flight response, is designed to last only a couple of minutes until a person reaches safety.

But drugs like meth release a rush of dopamine that hyperstimulates body systems for hours at a time.

Meth impacts every organ system

in the body: skin, heart, lungs, kidneys, and perhaps most devastating of all, the brain.

METH CAN BE SNORTED, INJECTED, SMOKED, OR DISSOLVED IN LIQUID AND INGESTED.

Syringes are used to inject drugs. Items like the insides of pens or rolled dollar bills can be used to snort drugs. Foil, pipes or even hollowed-out light bulbs can be used to smoke drugs. A heat source – like a lighter – is used to vaporize the

drug. Scorch marks are often left on the paraphernalia.

Powder, flakes, crystal (ice)METH COMES IN MANY FORMS AND COLORS.

A SYSTEM SECOND TO NONE

In an emergency environment, a matter of seconds can be a matter of life and death. That’s why Sacred Heart

has invested in a high-speed Multi-Slice CT Scanner. Able to obtain high-resolution images in single breathhold,

the Multi-Slice CT Scanner can complete scans in a few seconds that used to require several minutes. It’s so fast,

in fact, that young children can most often be scanned without sedation.

WHAT IT IS

A truly miraculous advance in scanning technology, the Multi-Slice CT Scanner combines x-ray technology and

computers to produce cross-sectional images of internal anatomy. This process enables physicians to obtain an

accurate diagnosis through non-invasive imaging. The Multi-Slice CT is the world’s first scanner to help doctors

simultaneously capture multiple images of a patient’s anatomy, while increasing image clarity for diagnosis in

brain, chest, abdomen, pelvis, spine, sinus and vascular studies.

GETTING TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER — FASTER

With this system Sacred Heart can perform a ‘virtual cardiac angiogram’ by imaging the heart in a matter of

seconds and putting it back together with 3D software. The virtual angiogram lets diagnosticians ‘drive through’

a 3D model of the patient’s heart looking for any blockages or coronary disease. It’s a non-invasive screening

device of enormous potential.

VIRTUALLY UNSURPASSED

Other non-invasive screening exams that can be performed

with the new system include pain-free virtual colonoscopies

and virtual bronchoscopies. This new system gives physicians

the ability to look at any part of the body from any angle and

isolate only the components they want to see. For example,

you can opt to look only at the bones, only at the soft tissue

or only at the arteries.

SEE FOR YOURSELF

The CT Scanner joins a suite of state-of-the-art technology in

Sacred Heart’s Radiology Department, which is the beta-site for

GE’s latest mammography system and home to a new bone

densitometer for early detection of Osteoporosis. If you’d like

to see for yourself what the Multi-Slice CT Scanner can do, call

NCCT

M I S S I O N

The National Conservatory of Contemporary

Theatre (NCCT) is a post-secondary school

modeled after top conservatories in New

York City with a progressive curriculum

taught by some of nation’s premiere industry

professionals. The core values of NCCT are:

1. A pragmatic and forward-looking

approach to curriculum and teaching

methodologies.

2. A deep-rooted belief in collegial and

mutually supportive community partnerships.

3. A focus on profitability as key to our

continuing high-level of quality service and

performance.

G O A L S

The primary goals of NCCT based on our core

values are as follows:

1. To provide cost-effective professional

actor training, utilizing the best of traditional

acting conservatory models, blending

Stanslavski based technique and Viola Spolin

improvisation with forward thinking trends in

post-secondary education and theatre training

curriculum.

2. To graduate students who are

prepared to work in the theatre upon

completion of our program. Armed not only

with solid training from our expert instructors,

guest directors and the best industry

professionals the market has to offer, but also

with professional contacts in the Twin Cities,

New York, and Los Angeles they have made

during their training.

3. To enhance the already dynamic Twin

Cities’ arts community through partnerships

with local theaters—including: Mixed

Blood Theatre, The Jungle Theater, The

Children’s Theatre Company, Theater Mu,

and The Playwright’s Center. This reciprocal

relationship with our local partners (and

partners in New York) will augment the student

experience, provide a well-trained talent pool

to the already excellent Twin Cities market,

and make NCCT a destination for education,

collaboration and arts dialogue.

4. To become a fully integrated member

of the Twin Cities artistic and educational

communities while creating a national

reputation of Minnesota as a destination for

professional theatre training.

Windsor Companies


WINDSORC O M P A N I E S




Windsor Companies believes that landscapes are an extension of a home or building. That’s why Windsor has spent the past three decades designing, constructing, and maintaining landscapes that are perfectly suited to the people that will use them. Windsor has won more than 30 national and regional design awards.

Windsor’s staff has the expertise to tackle large, complex projects. But they are also friendly and approachable. And that makes every design special.

Windsor understands landscapes. And Windsor understands its clients. That’s because the people at Windsor see landscapes as vital extensions of the homes and buildings they surround. A Windsor landscape is creatively designed, carefully crafted, and impeccably maintained. A Windsor landscape is a place for living.

AWARD-WINNING RESIDENTIAL DESIGN This home is perched at the top of a steep hill that descends to a small lake.

Unfortunately, the slopes were eroding, the dining areas were too small and the wooden walls and steps were beginning to fail.

The simple, richly detailed solution demonstrates Windsor’s ability to work with its clients and creatively solve landscape problems. A larger wooden deck, a stone terrace and a sinuous stone wall replaced the multi-level decks and steps.

The pool is now surrounded by warm patterned concrete. The terrace is home to a large overhead pergola for shelter from the sun, a stone fireplace for evening entertainment, and the sound of a cascading waterfall.
