Submitted photo. Work continues to open the 12 Farms Restaurant later this month or next.

"Construction is underway and we are on target to open at the end of January or the beginning of February depending on when we get our stamps of approval," said Chef Rennie DiLorenzo, of Hightstown, co-owner of the restaurant in an email on Dec. 28.

Chef Paul Burroughs and I went to culinary school together, he said.

"Im financing the operation but hes going to have say in the menu choices," he said. "Hell bring an American flair to the menu."

12 Farms Restaurant is located at 120 North Main Street and is about 1,500 square feet. It is located where the International Roasting Post Caf was located until closing in early Oct. 2014.

He said she opened up a retail space with a dual purpose, web design and art gallery, in 2009.

"When we moved to New York in 2010, the gallery space transitioned to another gallery owner," he said.

WALNUT CREEK -- One of this city's major ties to the world champion San Francisco Giants is closing.

The Giants-themed McCovey's Restaurant is set to close in February after 11 years as a downtown staple.

The reason for the closure? Owners of McCovey's, named after Baseball Hall of Fame first baseman Willie McCovey, decided not to renew the lease, according to a news release from the restaurant.

"Instead, they are exploring interest in relocating to San Francisco," according to the release, sent by manager Rick Dudum. "A move to that area would fulfill Willie McCovey's original dream of being in close proximity to the ballpark."

Restaurant Manager Paul Ramos told Bay City News Wednesday that details of the move haven't yet been shared with staff, and the new restaurant won't open for at least two years.

The last day is set for Feb. 2, the day after the Super Bowl, Ramos said.

When the idea in partnership with McCovey -- close friends with the Dudum family -- for a restaurant was born in 2000, growth in the Mission Bay area around AT&T ballpark in San Francisco was at a standstill, so construction of the restaurant began in Walnut Creek instead, according to the release.

The Dudums have owned and operated many restaurants in Walnut Creek. And apparently now with the Mission Bay project in San Francisco now growing rapidly, "the timing is perfect to move the restaurant," according to the release. A specific location for the new restaurant and the date it may open were not included in the news release.

"For our customers to be able to watch three Giants' World Series at the restaurant in Walnut Creek has been the experience of a lifetime," McCovey said in the news release. "I loved being a part of that and I want to thank all of our customers and fans who have enjoyed the restaurant over the past 11 years, as well as the Walnut Creek City Council members who supported my vision."

Pest control and hygiene giant Rentokil Initial revealed robust 2012 results on Friday, beating analyst expectations, causing shares to jump as much as 11 per cent, though analysts showed concern with the ongoing struggles with its City Link division.

Adjusted pre-tax profits came to 191m, a 10.1% year-on-year rise, driven in part by 59m of cost savings following a restructuring of the companys textiles and hygiene arm in France and its pest control division across a number of countries. Analysts were expecting a figure closer to 186m.

However, its parcel delivery arm, City Link, took the spotlight away from an otherwise strong year, as it posted a $26.4m operating loss. The division has weighed on the firm since 2007 due to high operating costs and a competitive market.

New technology similar to the science behind video games and GPS is enabling doctors to better navigate the lungs and test small, hard to reach nodules without surgery.

Its very exciting, Dr. Kristopher McDonough, a pulmonologist on staff at Silver Cross Hospital, said. The New Lenox healthcare facility is one of a handful of medical centers in the Chicago area that offers electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB). Others include University of Chicago and Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

But, McDonough said, patients can expect to see more of this kind of technology in the near future.

The new method enables doctors to more easily navigate the maze of tubes inside the lungs, reaching suspicious masses inside those traditionally hard to access tiny bronchiole tubes in a minimally invasive way. McDonough said ENB provides a comprehensive program for the minimally invasive diagnosis of lung cancer.

The process begins with a virtual bronchography, which is a three-dimensional map of the inside of a patients airways.

Its like a road map, McDonough said.

During the procedure, the patient is put on top of a magnetic board. Markers are placed on the patients chest. A camera is inserted via a catheter through the patients mouth.
