NEW YORK VOL. IV NEW YORK, OCTOBER 15, 1921 No. 10 Rubbing Elbows THE annual meeting of nineteen twenty-one has come and gone. It will take a place in the firm's history as one of the most important events thus far recorded. The meeting was not only the largest, but the best ever held. For many years the firm has followed the practice of calling together annually, except for one year, the partners and managers. From a mere handful in the beginning, the number has increased until this year there were fifty-one in attendance. The meeting began on Thursday morning, September 22, with general handshaking and visiting until eleven o'clock, when the business session opened. Mr. Sells presided and greeted those present with a few words of compliment on the achievements of the past year. After a reading of the minutes of the last meeting and some remarks by Mr. Cook regarding the general practice, the meeting adjourned to Mr. Sells' and Mr. Ludlam's room, where a buffet luncheon was served. The afternoon was devoted to a discus-sion, led by Miss Bolles, of secretarial and office routine problems. In the evening there were several private dinners, after which the party, including the wives who accompanied their husbands, attended a performance of "Tangerine." Friday was given over to golf at the Garden City Country Club, where six foursomes participated in a tournament. The first prize, consisting of a dozen U . S. Royal golf balls, was won by Mr. Fuller. Mr. Vaughan received the second prize which was a Thermos carafe. The "duffer's" prize was awarded to Mr. Kracke, Mr. Bickett and Mr. Gause not competing. A dinner dance at the club house followed in the evening. Business sessions were resumed on Saturday. Mr. Ludlam and Mr. Bickett led a discussion of the firm's financial policies and matters relating to financial department routine. Mr. Dunn gave an interesting talk on the proprietorship of working papers and the accountant's obligation of privileged communication. This was followed by a general discussion of relations with clients and with the public. The program extended over into Sunday and finally required the entire day. Mr. Porte discussed the uniform system for Dodge Brothers' Dealers and answered questions as to its scope and installation. Mr. Dallas presented the subject of tax accounting with its many problems and opportunities for genuine service to clients. Mr. Wildman spoke on professional training and the Bulletin. A question box closed the program which was concluded late in the afternoon.

3 injured in explosion reported at GM plant outside Detroit – USA TODAY
DETROIT — Detroit firefighters were called to the scene Wednesdah of an explosion at the General Motors assembly plant in Hamtramck, Mich., that injured three workers.
The Detroit Fire Department confirmed that a pump led to the explosion at the Hamtramck plant, causing one employee to be sent to the hospital with minor burns and others with minor injuries.
"The call came in about 10:03 (a.m. ET) reporting an explosion in the plant," said David Fornell, deputy fire commissioner. "Our first responding units found that there was, what they call a pressure pump, had exploded. It was a relatively minor explosion. One person suffered minor burns to the face and was transported to Detroit Receiving. The incident was down-graded almost immediately. So there was no fire."
Fornell said others were injured, but were treated on the scene by plant personnel.
GM said three workers who are involved in maintenance work at the plant were injured during an incident that occurred just before 10 a.m.
"The injuries are not believed to be life threatening," the company said in a statement.
GM spokesman Tom Wickham said the plant is operating normally and there was no need to evacuate employees. Wickham also said the company does not expect there to be any impact on production.
GM currently employs about 1,800 workers at its Detroit-Hamtramck Plant where it makes the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Volt and the Chevrolet Impala.
It is GM's only plant in Detroit with a footprint that spans into two cities — Detroit and Hamtramck. The 4.1-million-square-foot plant opened in 1985.

Mosca placed second on the one meter and third on the three meter at the NCAA Zone Diving Championships (Gil Talbot).
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Freshman Mike Mosca placed second on the one meter and third on the three meter at the NCAA Zone A Diving Championships this weekend, leading a trio of Crimson who were competing in the meet.
Mosca opened the meet on Friday with a third-place performance on the three meter, earning a total score of 766.30. The freshman was in third after the morning's preliminary round, and maintained his position throughout the finals. Logan Shinholser from Virginia Tech won the event with a score of 852.70, while his teammate, Ryan Hawkins, took second with a score of 773.05.
Mosca returned on Saturday and posted a score of 684.15 on the one meter, falling just short of George Mason's Derrick Butts who placed first with a score of 689.65. Mosca sat in first after the prelims, but was leapfrogged by Butts who had been in fifth. The freshman nearly earned a spot at the 2012 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships with his performances, but just missed the cut.
Also competing at the meet for Harvard were Joe Zarrella and George Doran. Zarrella placed seventh on the one meter on Saturday with a score of 603.85, just 85.50 points behind Burns for first. The sophomore qualified for the finals after sitting in sixth place following the prelims. On Friday, Zarrella competed on the three meter but failed to qualify for the finals after placing 21st in the prelims with a score of 267.90. Doran, meanwhile, competed in both the one and three meter but failed to qualify for either final.

The sequence of this synthetic peptide is based on the primary site of cleavage by plasmepsin II (PM II) within hemoglobin (Hb), and numbering of the peptide corresponds to the residue within the α-chain of Hb. Plasmepsins are involved in the early steps of hemoglobin degradation. They are able to recognize intact hemoglobin and make an initial cleavage in the B helix of the hemoglobin α-chain between Phe-33 and Leu-34.

I am frequently contacted by women about whether excercising negatively impacts lactation. But what if this question were asked in reverse?
Does breastfeeding result in slower running times? (Okay, I have to say it: not actually breastfeeding while running, people! Very few can/try to pull that off...))
Let's take Liza Howard as an example. She is the 2010 winner of the Rocky Raccoon 100 miler in Texas. I became interested in her because I will be racing with (er, behind) her in Hells Hills 50 miler in less than 2 weeks. She ran the 2010 Rocky Raccoon in the amazingly fast time of 15:45. But last year, in 2009, she ran it in 21:32. She ran nearly 6 hours faster this year or had a 26% reduction in time! Quite a difference for 1 year of training. But could it in part be attributed to the fact that she was breastfeeding in 2009 and not in 2010? (I should mention that not only was she breastfeeding, but she physically stopped to breastfeed her son every 20 miles).
Well, she has also hired a running coach and is training better, so it is very hard to determine exactly how much of the improvement is due to not breastfeeding.
Let's take my racing times as an example. I have run 1 race seriously in my life when I was not pregnant or breastfeeding and that was the 15k 2 weeks ago. My previous 10k time on a flat comparable course was 42:44 (that was in December). I stopped breastfeeding when The Lorax turned 2 in February. My next 10k time (from 2 weeks ago) in a 15k race was 41:08. This is a 3% reduction in time. Not quite as overwhelming of a difference. But something.
This is by far the most unscientific scientific post I have ever written. But I can find absolutely no research on this subject. I can't even find an inane discussion on Yahoo Answers. I may just be the only person on the planet who cares.
But if anyone is still reading, my question is this: Can I expect a huge improvement in my 50 mile time now that I'm not breastfeeding? Like say, a 26% reduction in time from my PR of 8:49 (while breastfeeding) to 6:30? Ha. Okay, I just had to exaggerate a bit. Anyone out there have first hand experience? Liza Howard, you are also allowed to chime in.

The Commission on Higher Education today called for increased investment in New Jersey higher education to ensure the state's societal well-being, economic development, and future prosperity.
"Economic growth and prosperity depend on knowledge, technology, and human capital," said James E. Sulton, Jr., executive director of the Commission. "Access to higher education for all segments of the population will bolster New Jersey's ability to fulfill state workforce needs, compete globally, and thrive as a community."
The Commission's FY 2003 draft budget policy statement, slated for adoption in late October, calls for significant funding increases in three priority areas with vast potential to impact and shape the state's future. The first priority is to begin increasing capacity to meet higher education student needs and state workforce demands. The second is to assure access to high quality, timely educational opportunities for all segments of the population. And the third is to promote excellence in prekindergarten to graduate education as well as academic research and development.
Citing the growing demand for higher education, the changing demographics, and the desire for educational opportunity for underrepresented populations, the budget statement calls for a major increased investment in the senior public institutions. Full state support for negotiated salary increases and contractual increments is recommended along with a 3.5 percent increase in operating aid for the 12 institutions. The report indicates the increased funds would begin to move the state closer to the desired two-thirds share of operating costs, reduce the level of tuition increases needed, and begin to impact on affordability, adequate capacity, and overall quality of the institutions.
The budget statement also recommends a continuation of the $12 million annual increases in operating aid for the community colleges to minimize the need for tuition increases and help students complete their degrees expeditiously. An additional $3 million is sought for the independent colleges and universities, recognizing their important role in meeting state higher education needs.
"The FY 2003 budget policy statement reflects both state and national priorities in higher education and calls for significant public resources to address growing needs," said Dr. Sulton. "A conscious effort must be made to afford every individual seeking higher education in New Jersey the chance to participate and excel."
The Commission recommends additional funding to help disadvantaged students succeed in college. An increase of $2.7 million is sought to strengthen campus Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) student services, and $1.5 million is recommended to increase EOF student grants. A $2.1 million increase is proposed to expand precollege programs for middle- and high school students in the Abbott school districts. In addition, the Commission calls on the state to increase funding for Tuition Aid Grants (TAG) and establish a TAG program for part-time students.
Stressing the importance of teacher quality to improving student achievement, the budget statement recommends renewing the competitive Teacher Effectiveness Grants to further enhance successful college and university teacher preparation and professional development programs.
The Commission also requests renewed funding to increase university research capacity in biomedical and other high-tech areas, and an additional $15 million for a third round of High-Tech Workforce Excellence Grants, which build on successful programs to meet workforce needs of New Jersey's high-tech industries.

This can be seen in the sluggish rate of transmission network expansion around the globe, which is widely feared to be holding back the pace of onshore and offshore wind. At the big get-together of wind experts at the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) conference in Copenhagen in April, discussions concluded that heads need to be raised regularly from the job in hand to take in the broad front of developments, not only across the wind industry but also outside it to see that work is efficiently dovetailed with what is happening in other related fields. Neglecting to investigate or coordinate issues now could penalise the wind industry further down the line.
At the broad energy policy level, a major task for the wind sector is to keep abreast and stay relevant on energy issues. Discussing the EU's climate and energy roadmap to 2051, Danish energy minister Martin Lidegaard asked a high-level roundtable whether the carbon emissions trading scheme currently in operation is merely a cap to cut emissions or "whether it is our main tool to pursue green investments". Some argue that carbon trading should be the backbone of green electricity, making the price of carbon, which is currently very low, crucial. Conclusions to a subsequent debate at the European council of ministers "won't be visible before June 2012", he said, but the wind sector needs to stay on the ball. "Using a renewables incentive for expansion of green energy is cheaper than an across-the-board electricity charge in the form of a CO2 levy," said Ian Mays, CEO of UK renewables company RES.
Solar competition
While carbon trading was given a solid airing at the conference, one topic that missed the opportunity for a much discussion at a wider European level was the potential conflict with what could become its chief competitor, photovoltaic electricity.
Wind and solar energies are expected to form the backbone of Europe's future electricity supply. Germany's fast growth in solar capacity to around 25GW by the end of 2011 - approaching wind's 29GW - is demonstrating what large amounts of photovoltaic generation can mean for the electricity sector. It looks high time for the wind and solar sectors to go further and combine their political strengths more explicitly.
Already, political calls for more competition between the different types of renewables are becoming louder.
If implemented at national or European level, the consequences could be particularly detrimental for expensive offshore wind. No wonder offshore wind sector representatives at the conference were among the many wind experts stressing that reducing their "cost of energy" has to be top priority.
Perhaps the most dramatic instance of asynchronous developments at the conference - albeit of lesser overall significance - was at a session on the outlook for project finance over the next three years. Initially, participants were cheered by news that pension funds could bring welcome large-scale investment to the wind sector. But the smiles disappeared when the alarm was raised that Solvency II rules as applied to insurance funds could in future also hit pension funds.
Solvency II
The Solvency II European directive of 2009 set out EU-wide requirements on capital adequacy and risk management for insurers, aimed at providing better protection for policyholders. It requires them to hold more capital to cover the risks that they are exposed to, increasing the cost of capital. In response, experts urged EWEA and the wind finance industry to enter discussions with the European Commission on the issue of pension fund investment in infrastructure such as wind farms.
Fortunately, the lobbying still has a chance to be effective, with the commission issuing its discussion White Paper on sustainable pensions in February. The extent to which arrangements in the pension sector should mirror those in insurance is still up for debate.
The EWEA conference revealed other areas where progress in different fields is not speed synchronised, including power storage and cable technology. On storage, Scandinavia hydro power facilities are widely seen as a potential buffer for surplus wind energy from offshore wind farms in the North Sea. But Scandinavia itself will have developed an annual electricity surplus of 50TWh per year by the period 2020-25, pointed out Oystein Leseth, chief executive of Swedish state-owned energy company Vattenfall, indicating that offshore wind sector expectations may not be in line with Scandinavian electricity sector developments.
Grid architecture
On the cable technology side, industry proponents such as Matt Cunningham of GE Energy Power Conversion talked enthusiastically of a "direct-current grid architecture" and the benefits of high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) technology for offshore wind systems. But whether direct-current electricity can be brought to market with the same cost, flexibility and ease with which power traders are used to handling the standard alternating-current remains an unknown. Edward McGarrigle of University College Cork in Ireland indicated that this may not be easy.
Discussing electricity systems with a large amount of wind power, McGarrigle highlighted the problems of HVDC links into the relatively small whole-of-Ireland electricity grid. The connectors are non-synchronous connections, he pointed out, and therefore the DC links are not locked into the synchronous system with its standard nominal frequency. This means they do not contribute to so-called synchronous inertia (the surge of energy when the rotational energy of the generator is converted to electrical energy when a machine is slowing down) and therefore cannot help to stabilise network frequency during unexpected fluctuations.
"Flexibility is not a straightforward definition, but the functionality of a DC grid must and can fulfil similar requirements as an AC grid," Erik Koldby, a senior engineer at ABB in Denmark, said about modernisation of the European network infrastructure.
Muddling through on wind developments can mean not only that technical progress in various fields is not harmonised. It can also mean that the change in mindset needed for the switch from a conventional to renewable-energy-based system is not sufficiently recognised. Assumptions that were appropriate under a fossil-fueland nuclear-based system can unwittingly be carried over to the renewable-energy landscape and block thinking towards necessary change.
As a case in point, "using electricity to directly generate heat has been considered immoral," said Ulrik Stridbaek of Dong Energy. He urged discussion to change this mindset in order to smooth the path for surplus wind or solar-generated electricity to be "stored" by using it to heat water for district heating systems, for industry use or for households.
This view of bad use of electricity to generate heat has developed out of a number of criticised practices such as households in France being encouraged to use electricity for space heating rather than invest in heat insulation, in order to use nuclear power station output in non-peak demand hours. Night storage heaters are also seen as an inefficient use of energy. Further, electricity used for heat production can reduce efficient coalor gas-fired combined heat and power generation.
Keeping a close eye on such issues would improve coordination and, ultimately, reduce the overall cost of the transition to a renewables-based electricity supply. Regular industry meetings such as the EWEA conference in Copenhagen are a chance to update but may need wider energy-sector input to broaden the wind sector's horizons.

Wisconsin County That 'Found' Lost Votes Apparently Has Major Voting Irregularities For Years...
from the well,-look-at-that deptYou may recall a little over a week ago we wrote about the Wisconsin county that magically found 14,000 votes in a recent (highly contested) election, after the very partisan County Clerk -- who had just been questioned for questionable methods of collecting election data -- said that she had "failed to save the results" in her original report. While this followup story is now about a week old, someone just sent it over to us. Apparently that particular county, Waukesha County, has a rather stunning history of voting irregularities, including having an astounding and totally unprecedented 97.63% voter turnout rate in 2004:
Apparently in 2004 the polls in Waukesha were teeming with voters as the Waukesha County Clerk's office showed a 97.63% turn out. No, that's not a typo. 97.63%And it's not just voter turnout that's suspiciously high. Voter registrations are unprecedented as well:
Of the 236,642 registered voters in Waukesha on Nov 2, 2004 apparently 231,031 of them came out in a hint of rain and drizzle and did their civic duty.
Just to put this in perspective, Australia has compulsory (mandatory) voting and their turnout is 95%.
In the 8 months leading into the 2004 Presidential Election there was a marginal 1.3% increase in the rolls netting about 3000 additional new voters. However in the 3 months after the election, which showed an anomalous 97.63% turn out, suddenly the rolls surged to the tune of almost 50,000 new voters and upped the rolls 20%. I suppose that's one way to even out a suspiciously high turn out.99.5% of eligible voters registered? Wow.
Furthermore, remember that first number I told you to hang on to? The 283,820 eligible voters in the county of Waukesha in July of 2004? This new surge in the voter rolls has now pushed total voter registration in Waukesha County to 99.5% of elegible voters being registered to vote by February of 2005.
But, let's not stop there. The blogger who did this research also dug up the official election results data from the 2006 election in Waukesha County, and noticed that some of the elections appeared to have more votes than ballots were cast by a fairly large number:
In the race for Governor/Lieutenant Governor there were a total of 176,112 votes cast. For Attorney General there were a total of 174,047 votes cast. And for Secretary of State there were a total 170,440 votes cast.To say the least, these numbers are pretty troubling if you believe in the integrity of democratic elections.
So, look at the 3rd line of the top of that report...Total Ballots Cast: 156,804. So based on those numbers 20,000 extra votes were cast in the election that weren't actually accounted for in the ballots cast.

In the fickle world of fashion, finding, engaging, and retaining brand devotees online is not easily stitched together. Just ask Susan Gregg Koger and Eric Koger, husband and wife co-founders of ModCloth.com, an online-only retail operation that started in a college dorm room and has since grown to global, 275-employee company in less than a decade. In 2010, ModCloth was named one of America's Fastest Growing Retailers by Inc. Magazine.
With Susan directing the creative aspect of the firm and Eric responsible for business operations, ModCloth specializes in independent women's fashion and décor, having achieved near cult status to a devoted, 18-34 female audience – a demographic that definitely defaults to digital, rather than traditional, advertising.
"Our objective is to democratize the fashion industry," says social media manager Natasha Khan. "YouTube is a great partner because it empowers users to be content creators and influencers in beauty and fashion."
The emotional impact of content on the company's YouTube channel helps ModCloth increase brand awareness and reach new audiences. YouTube enables the company not only to share its message, but also to engage with the core customer base, building deeper levels of loyalty and engagement.
Launched in 2008, ModCloth's branded YouTube channel has nearly a million video views and close to 4,000 subscribers. Since they are an online business, ModCloth employs a digital first strategy. Digital media, including video ads, deliver fast, accurate, and analytical data to track the performance, impact, and return on investment.
YouTube TrueView video ads allow ModCloth to promote their engaging video content and then analyze its performance. A recent YouTube TrueView promotion drove traffic to the ModCloth website with a click-through rate that was upwards of 18 percent, when industry averages are typically in the single digits. Compared to their average $0.55 cost-per-click search campaigns, ModCloth has been able to strategically reach even more customers with an average $0.06 cost-per-view TrueView video ad campaigns.
"That's huge," says Theresa Rockovich, Search Engine Marketing Specialist at ModCloth, "This proves that by targeting the right audience on a granular level, we can drive potential shoppers to our site, where they spend significant amounts of time consuming product information and actively engaging with our brand."
ModCloth's core strategy is to use keywords as specifically as possible and then leverage YouTube Analytics to gain a deeper understanding of who the audience is, where they are coming from, and how best to interact with them.
After YouTube Insights (now YouTube Analytics) was launched, the team realized some of their YouTube videos were attracting a 50 plus female audience, who appreciated the content but did not convert to buyers. ModCloth invested in producing on brand videos, and edited their descriptions, tags and campaigns for an audience that matched their target demographic – females 18-34, and conversions lifted immediately.
In addition, ModCloth discovered that audiences segmented by fashion-oriented keywords did not necessarily convert as well as viewers consuming indie music on YouTube. Again, they modified content to appeal more directly to the female shopper who happens to have an interest in the topic of indie music.
"We would love to make ModCloth a household name. YouTube – the second biggest search engine in the world – allows us to integrate SEO, referral content and paid campaigns while reaching the greatest possible audience across platforms and devices," says Rockovich. "It's amazing to see our brand come to life through the emotional impact of video. It is the ultimate medium for us engage our audience and, more importantly, for them to engage with us."
ModCloth's foray into video started with a simple scarf tying lesson.
A mixture of pure ingenuity, cues from customers, and a deep understanding of their core customers' interests has helped ModCloth design editorial content and engaging contests. The team has launched three contests on YouTube, including a ModCloth Style Short Contest in June 2010, a Bow Wow Contest in April 2011, and the DIY Boss Contest, which was recently announced in March 2012.
The ModCloth team is "constantly amazed" at the time and energy users put into videos submitted to the ModCloth video contests. Check out this impressive user created stop animation video for how to make a Polyclay Monster Pin.
Layering calls to action on top of videos also helps curious viewers find new wares, accessories, and products on the ModCloth.com site.
How can you leverage YouTube to fulfill your marketing goals?
"Embrace experimentation; be true to your brand and message," said Sarah Klenakis, Editorial Team Manager at ModCloth. "Basically, just tune into your community and join the conversation."

text: LONDON -- The birth of Britain's Prince George has reopened a rift among those campaigning for Scotland to vote for independence next year, playing into the hands of those who want it to retain its 306-year union with England. The "Yes Scotland" campaign says it wants to win a referendum on independence in 2014 and for the country to become fully independent by 2016, shaking off centuries of what it regards as oppressive rule from London. The Scottish National Party (SNP), the main force backing independence for the country of around 5 million, has promised voters they can become independent while keeping Queen Elizabeth as their monarch and the pound sterling as their currency. But the chairman of Scotland's pro-independence campaign took an anti-monarchy stance on Sunday, saying that Prince George, the first son of Prince William and his wife Kate, should never be king of an independent Scotland. Dennis Canavan, a former Labor party lawmaker, said keeping a hereditary head of state was "an affront to democracy and a complete anachronism in a modern 21st century democracy". "The birth of a baby is a great occasion for any family, and I congratulate the Royal Family on this happy event," he told the Scotland on Sunday newspaper. "(But) as to the possibility of another King George, it is important to remember that true democracy is based on the sovereignty of the people rather than the sovereignty of any monarch." If Scotland voted for independence in September next year, another vote should be held to decide if it wants to retain the monarchy or choose an elected head of state, he said, adding that he would vote to cut ties with Britain's royal family. The SNP restated its view on Sunday that the monarchy should be retained in any independent Scotland, while a spokesman for the campaign to keep Scotland inside Britain said Canavan's words had exposed the true face of Scottish nationalism and showed how divided the pro-independence movement was. Most opinion polls show around a third of Scots would vote for independence, while almost half would elect to remain part of Britain. A large number of voters remain undecided however. Prince George, born on July 22 amid a global media frenzy, is third in line to the British throne.

Choosing A Clinic
Laser Eye Surgery has been performed since 1983 and over 17 million procedures have been performed worldwide. There are many new clinics opening in Ireland and it is important to look at the different options available and, in particular, to check the qualifications and experience of the surgeons involved. Key questions you should ask before choosing a clinic:
Initial Assessment
Does the Consultant Surgeon perform or supervise the initial suitability assessment? Many clinics use optometrists to help determine initial suitability. While many are experienced, it is only qualified surgeons who should determine suitability and who are accountable for outcomes. If patients are not suitable due to an eye condition this ought to be diagnosed and treated appropriately.
Pre-operation Surgical consultation
Is the Consultant available to meet the client before the surgery to explain the procedure and to answer any queries they may have? This should not be performed on the day of surgery as it does not give the patient sufficient time to consider all the options and considerations. The Royal College of Surgeons recommends at least 24 hours before the surgery as a minimum guideline. The consent forms should be read through carefully, all questions answered to the client's satisfaction and signed.
Is the surgeon carrying out the procedure registered as fully qualified and trained?
In Ireland and in the UK, any registered medical doctor can carry out a laser treatment and need not have eye training at all. Laser refractive surgery should only be carried out by Ophthalmic Surgeons who have the appropriate training in this specialist area. The Specialist Register is a register of ophthalmic (eye) surgeons who the Irish Medical council believes are fully trained and have the appropriate level of expertise and experience for the best standard of care.
Are the surgeons available for 24/7 aftercare?
It is important to check that the clinic has surgeon/s in residence and the surgeon is available or has made appropriate arrangements for continuity of care and follow up. The surgeon needs to be available and in the country during the immediate post-operative period in case an emergency develops as is critical that immediate examination and treatment is available. Eye infections after surgery, whilst rare, are a vision threatening emergency.
Are audits available?
Good clinics and surgeons should be able to provide you with audited results of procedures carried out. All surgeons keep a detailed audit of their surgical outcomes which are verifiable and comparable. Most surgeons would expect that greater than 95% of their treatments result in a visual result greater than driving vision standard
Does the clinic offer other eye treatments?
There are many alternative treatments for vision correction including intra-ocular lens implants, cataract surgery and contact lens. These options need to be discussed fully with the patient.
Check the pricing structure carefully
Prices advertised often look too good to be true. It is important to check what procedure is on offer and for what price. For example, clients should not be charged a higher rate for different prescriptions as there is no appreciable cost difference to treat one prescription versus another.
At LaserVision, the answer is YES to all of these questions -and our pricing structure is clear.

Bamyan's Chahl Burja fort nearing extinction
Bamyan's Chahl Burja fort nearing extinction
BAMYAN (Pajhwok): The Qala-i-Chahl Burja, a historic fort with 40 towers built around it in the Yakawalang-II district of central Bamyan provinces has been nearing extinction due to negligence on the part of the government.
The historic fort is believed to be dating back to the Kushan Empire in the early first century, located on the top of a sandy hill. Around the hill, 40 metres high as many towers surround the port, decorated with artistic work and triangular type holes.
Abdul Majeed Jelya, director of protection and maintenance of historic sites in Bamyan, said historic sites in Bamyan were not looked after properly and they were on the path to destruction. He added two to three percent of relics in Bamyan were destroyed annually.
He added the Ministry of Information and Cultural Affairs had conducted initial investigation to further explore the Chehal Burja site, but no steps followed. "No specific budget has been provided to our department for this purpose."
He said a military ground was situated near the fort on a three acres of land. The ground might be used for sports, training, official events and others, he said.
The Chehl Burja is located 120 metres above the nearest river and a huge well is situated inside the fort. The well has stairs but mud has accumulated in the well bed with the passage of time.
On the towers drawings of human statues and snakes could be seen. According to the cultural ministry officials and experts the drawings showed the fort belonged to pre-Islamic period.
Yakawlang-II district chief Mohammad Ibrahim Akbari said the Chahl Burja was the only historic place in the area and the government should take necessary steps for its protection.
He said Bamyan was known for its historic sites and places if properly maintained and protected, these sites could attract tourists.
Haji Mohammad, a resident of the area, told Pajhwok Afghan News the government had done nothing to protect historic sites despite the fact winter snowfalls and rains threatened these sites.
The Yakawalang-2 was recongnised as a separate district from Yakawlang one year ago. It borders Ghor and Sar-i-Pul provinces.

Lawyers for a District of Columbia businessman at the center of a wide-ranging campaign finance investigation asked the Supreme Court to take a case involving some of the documents seized from his home and office.
Federal agents searched Jeffrey Thompson's home and business in March 2012 and seized more than 23 million pages of documents. Although his name is redacted from the Supreme Court petition that his attorneys filed last month, he has been identified in a previous court order in the case.
Thompson wants some of the documents back, arguing that they were beyond the scope of search warrants.
A grand jury is investigating Thompson's funding of political campaigns. Several people with links to him have pleaded guilty to felonies.

Remembering the Reporter Who Sued the Fed
With the Washington Post and other mainstream media outlets publishing endless defenses of "Federal Reserve independence" and proclaiming the Fed as savior of our financial system, it is all to easy to dismiss much of the media as simply defenders of the status quo. There were many, however, willing to challenge this orthodoxy. Standing out among them was Mark Pittman, reporter for Bloomberg. It was Mr. Pittman who sued the Federal Reserve, winning a victory on August 24, as the Manhattan Federal Court allowed the suit to proceed. Sadly, Mark Pittman passed away on November 25th.
Mark Pittman and his employer, Bloomberg News, sought details on the Federal Reserve's numerous special lending facilities. Which firms were getting loans, and for how much and at what terms? These were all details the American public were entitled to, yet were denied by the Federal Reserve. We all remember the Fed's warnings that if AIG counter‐parties were named, there would be market disruptions. Yet, after much public and Congressional pressure, those firms were named, with no adverse market consequences.
While Mark Pittman's efforts will be greatly missed, his suit continues, as does the efforts by Rep. Ron Paul and others in Congress, to bring transparency to the activities of the Federal Reserve.

Editor's Note: This thorough story about the RV and boat industries was written by Reagan Haynes and is taken from Soundings Trade Only Today.
There's a long-standing belief that the RV market leads the boating industry by about six months. Feedback from those in the RV and marine trades indicates that formula is holding true in this recession, even though the numbers show both industries are tracking similarly.
Still, there are leading indicators on the RV side that are hard to ignore. Fleetwood Enterprises Inc. and Monaco Coach Corp., two of the RV world's largest manufacturers, filed for and emerged from Chapter 11 restructurings. While some components of the brands were lopped off or modified (or sold off entirely), both remain in business, giving the industry a much welcomed sense of stability.
Meanwhile, the marine industry's second-largest manufacturer, Genmar, remains embroiled in a difficult bankruptcy process, with no clear sense of what the final outcome will be. That not only is a concern to dealers and industry insiders, but some believe it's one reason lenders are more hesitant to loan money to marine businesses than their RV counterparts.
The marine and RV industries share some of the same impediments to recovery, including financing and the fact that they sell "luxury" items.
Manufacturers seem to be approaching the recovery differently, too. Some boatbuilders are keen to offer more modest and affordable options to consumers, while many say RV manufacturers are looking for the next big "wow" factor to spur consumers to trade up before they're quite ready.
Both industries have had to deal with credit crunches that have stunted their rebounds, and most forecast a long, drawn-out recovery. Suppliers and vendors to both marine and RV manufacturers have faltered precariously. Weakness in consumer confidence is keeping sales difficult to come by.
Those customers who are buying are tending toward smaller boats and RVs. They're the "bottom-feeders," as one insider says – looking for, and often finding, a steal. But if the RV industry is a leading economic indicator, there are some reasons to be hopeful.
Credit seems to be easing slightly, as RV dealers find both wholesale and retail financing options through local lenders who are looking to replace lost car dealership clientele. Shipments are increasing, meaning at best that improved sales are ahead and, at worst, that dealers are clearing and replacing their aged inventory with new models.
And whether the numbers support it or not, the prevailing perception is that the RV industry is doing better overall – a definite boost at a time when everything hinges on consumer confidence.
More fragmented
Both the RV and marine industries have lost dealers and manufacturers. The RV industry has counted 170 dealerships that have gone out of business since 2007, out of a total of 3,000, according to Phil Ingrassia of the national Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA). It's a small percentage, but it's much higher than the typical 15 to 20 closings the RVDA tracks in a typical year.
The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) estimates that about 50% of its work force has been laid off, according to spokesman Kevin Broom. The RV industry has about 80 manufacturers – down from about 100 – whereas the marine industry has about 1,500 boatbuilders, according to Scott Stropkai, an RV industry analyst with Statistical Surveys Inc. (SSI) in Michigan.
Some think the marine industry must contract more to shrink capacity to demand, but experts say it won't become as small as the RV industry. "This is an industry with lots of small niches, more so than the RV industry," so it needs more manufacturers and dealers, says Thom Dammrich, president of the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA).
The NMMA estimates that around 20% of boat dealers have failed – some 1,500 of approximately 6,000. The marine industry is losing dealers more quickly than the RV industry because so many are undercapitalized and overstocked, says Phil Keeter, president of the Marine Retailers Association of America (MRAA). RV dealers tend to have one or two brands, while it's common for boat dealers to carry five or more, making the RV dealer more stable.
"The (boat) dealer shouldn't buy so much stuff; he shouldn't try to be everything to everyone," says Keeter. "He ought to be more focused."
Inching ahead
Just as unemployment numbers tend to be a lagging economic indicator, the RV industry seems to be a leading indicator, says Mac Bryan, vice president of the RVIA. Though sales dipped similarly through 2008 and the first two quarters of 2009, according to SSI data, the perception is that the RV side is rebounding ahead of the boating industry.
"We're definitely seeing the RV side recover quicker than we're seeing the boat side recover, although there are still some similarities where maybe larger motorhomes and larger boats are softer, and smaller boats and smaller trailer sales are improving," says Chris Hoover of Ron Hoover RV and Marine Center, which has five locations in south Texas.
The RV industry definitely leads into recessions but not necessarily out, according to Mark Bretz, of Bretz RV and Marine in Missoula, Mont. This time Bretz saw the same early decline on the marine side. "I think that these industries were probably aware something was going on that wasn't good for close to a year before a lot of other industries felt that," Bretz says.
A shorter boating season makes the industries tough to compare in terms of who is first in or out of a recession, says Earl Stoltzfus, who has owned Stoltzfus RV and Marine in West Chester, Pa., for 42 years.
In 2006, the RV industry shipped 390,000 units. The 2009 projection was at 146,000, but a 27% increase is forecast for 2010 over "admittedly weak numbers," Bryan says.
Bretz isn't comforted by the new projection. "I just think that manufacturers are out of sync with retail," he says. When dealers saw their business plummet, they quit buying. Now inventory is so low that they are buying to restock.
"But on the sell-through rate, it's still not very good," says Bretz.
Like many, Stoltzfus thinks the RV industry is healthier because major manufacturers have already worked through Chapter 11 restructurings. Though the largest boatbuilder, Brunswick Corp., responded quickly to the downturn by downsizing, the future of No. 2 Genmar has been up in the air since its Chapter 11 filing last June, leaving dealers, suppliers and consumers fearful of the future, he says.
Stoltzfus worries that Genmar is repeating the pattern of an RV manufacturer that hurt its dealers and customers in the Chapter 11 filing process. Though the assets were sold to a solid builder with a good reputation, they were sold on a net-net basis with no liabilities. That means approved warranties will not be paid and dealers are not able to sue for damages, he says.
"You don't do that and get away with it," Stoltzfus says. "They are currently trying to mend their ways, but it's going to take a long time. They're going to get a much smaller portion of the industry. The portion that is taking care of consumers and dealers during this time, they are the ones that will get more market share."
The major RV bankruptcies came early in 2009 and were resolved during the summer, giving more weight to the idea that the RV industry leads marine. Bretz predicts that RV manufacturers will have a tougher recovery because, in the past, RV builders who filed for Chapter 11 typically didn't emerge from bankruptcy, yielding their market share to survivors. This time, the same number of major builders is competing for a smaller market.
"Maybe these industries will end up like the airline industry – to be a survivor you have to go through every few years and do a bankruptcy again," says Bretz. "I think part of it will make businesses, unfortunately, less afraid of debt, because it appears that if you take on a bunch of debt and don't manage it very well, you get a get-out-of-jail-free card."
However, the prolonged uncertainty caused by Genmar's unsettled Chapter 11 is scaring off potential lenders, Hoover says. A banker that RV and Marine Center deals with told Hoover that, from a lending perspective, RV manufacturers are more stable than marine manufacturers. That makes banks hesitant to issue marine dealers floorplan money.
"Two of the three biggest RV manufacturers … both filed and both emerged, [so] it seems like just a hiccup," Hoover says. "There's still some question on where the marine manufacturers are."
Easier credit
The marine industry is operating with only one national wholesale lender – GE – and the RV industry with three – GE, Bank of the West and Bank of America. Still, Stoltzfus says the two industries have suffered equally but that the RV industry has moved further beyond its low point. He believes he is paying more than he should for GE's wholesale dollars but says he has no shortage of credit.
Bretz says there's a mixed message being sent. "Legislators are saying they want to grow business, but meanwhile the banking regulators are being incredibly onerous on banks in many cases, and until that changes, I don't think you're going to see significant expansion" into RV and marine wholesale finance, Bretz says. "Regulators that had capital ratios that they thought were acceptable two years ago are now saying those ratios need to be twice as high, and the only way you can get there logically is to reduce outstanding loans. Until banks are positioned to where regulators stop getting them to beef up capital liquidity, you're not going to see significant change."
However, RV dealers have been resourceful with local lenders, and credit unions and have been helping them understand floorplan finance, says Ingrassia. RV dealers say they have had some relief across the board, since local banks are loaning wholesale credit lines.
One reason credit unions have been more open to providing credit is because they have undergone such a change in the auto market, Bryan says.
Marine and RV associations have joined forces to secure Small Business Administration loans that were to be spread between marine, RV and auto dealers. That program has performed below expectations, Ingrassia says, and though everyone expected the new program to take time, it's taking longer than anyone thought.
Bryan speculates that the credit crunch on the retail side has caused a slowdown in the turnover of vehicles, perhaps similar to that of the marine industry. "Typically, people trade in RVs every four years, and my guess is that time frame has been lengthened," says Bryan.
Factories ramping up
RV manufacturers are gearing back up to build more product, but Keeter says that won't necessarily be reflected in the retail market.
After both industries focused on clearing out aging inventory, combined with a credit shortage, there is little product in the pipeline, Bretz says. "I believe RV manufacturers will have a relatively good 2010 just bringing inventories back to normal," says Bretz. "That's one of the problems with both industries – we don't have good information about retail. There's much better information about shipments, but in times like these [shipment numbers] tend to either understate or overstate the problem and are not a very accurate indicator of what's really going on."
The RV industry is also moving to a system that allows consumers to dictate production.
That is especially true for dealers who sell higher-end motorhomes, since those already were declining in popularity before the recession's onset, Bryan says. In 2006, that segment accounted for about 15% of the 390,000 units sold. Now it's less than 10%, says Bryan.
"Because dealer inventory is being watched very closely and because the cost of that inventory has … gone up in several different ways, dealers are reluctant to take on inventory they don't think they can move very quickly," says Bryan.
If the RV industry does, in fact, lead marine, that could be a cue for dealers who sell larger vessels to pay close attention to their inventories, because Bryan says no one anticipated such an extreme decline in that RV segment.
Retail credit could also be a factor. Bretz says he has problems securing financing for buyers of the expensive RVs he sells.
Ingrassia says dealer inventories have thinned, as has the competition with the liquidation market. Maybe it's fortunate that few expect a swift upswing in either market, because many worry that decimated supplier ranks would be hard-pressed to keep up.
Dealers will have smaller inventories moving forward, Bretz predicts, and will understand the importance of turning them more than in the past. And it will take time before the manufacturers have the clout they had a few years ago.
"We're in the process of opening a new store in Portland [Ore.], and we're amazed at how many good product lines are available in what would be a pretty major market," says Bretz.
New models
The RV industry is unveiling new products for the upcoming model year at a pace likely to exceed marine, where some manufacturers are offering scaled-down versions of models, or resurrecting smaller, previously discontinued boats.
"I would say that is a pretty significant opposite," says Hoover. "(RV manufacturers) are bringing out bigger TVs and fancier things and trying to give people a reason to buy."
Some marine manufacturers say that after such a long trend of adding technology and gadgets to boats, there might be a consumer trend toward simplicity. But in the RV market, Broom predicts, that predilection will not just disappear.
There will be a trend to provide better value in the future, Bryan says. The marine industry seems to be catching up in terms of offering fewer options or more specific packages. Bryan says the RV industry has already made that shift. And even when people buy less-equipped vehicles, they buy add-ons after the fact, he says.
"That's been a strongpoint in the industry – the aftermarket sales," Bryan says. That being said, RVs are increasingly coming fully loaded with home conveniences like televisions and microwave ovens.
And though nobody expects a rapid rebound in either industry, Hoover says the family dynamic of both is giving him leverage in this uncertain economy. People are making choices about their limited disposable income, and in the end, family activities win. That gives him hope for both the marine and RV industries.

The original Social Security legislation had not included an inflation adjustment, which meant benefits did not keep up with the cost of living. A decade later, Ms. Fuller's checks were worth about 40 percent less in real terms than when she started receiving them. Congress finally increased benefits in 1950 and then continued to do so in fits and starts, sometimes faster than inflation, sometimes slower and usually in an election year. President Richard M. Nixon and a Democratic Congress brought some order to this process in 1972, by automatically tying the benefits to the movement of an inflation index in the previous year. The changes were part of the transformation, during the middle decades of the 20th century, in how this country treated the elderly. In the 1930s, they had little safety net and frequently struggled to meet their basic needs. Four decades later, they were the only group of Americans with guaranteed health care and a guaranteed income. All in all, it was certainly for the good. But by the 1970s, you could start to see the early signs of excess. In their bill, Mr. Nixon and Congress included a little bonus: the increase in Social Security payments could never be less than 3 percent, no matter what inflation was. In the 1980s, Congress reduced the floor to zero — meaning that benefits would be held constant if prices fell — but the principle remained the same: heads, it's a tie; tails, Social Security recipients win.
The argument would be that even with a zero nominal increase, Social Security recipients see an increase in real income during a period of deflation. Yes – there are the caveats about whether the CPI properly captures the cost of living for seniors especially if the relative price of drugs increases. But why did Mr. Leonhardt start his discussion by talking about the depressed economy and who would be most likely to consume any checks that the government may wish to extend?
If you wanted to help the economy and you had $14 billion to bestow on any group of people, which group would you choose: a) Teenagers and young adults, who have an 18 percent unemployment rate. b) All the middle-age long-term jobless who, for various reasons, are not eligible for unemployment benefits. c) The taxpayers of the future (by using the $14 billion to pay down the deficit). d) The group that has survived the Great Recession probably better than any other, with stronger income growth, fewer job cuts and little loss of health insurance. The Obama administration has chosen option d — people in their 60s and beyond.
Let's think about the macroeconomic impact of a $14 billion one-time transfer payment in terms of a life-cycle model of consumption. This would be equivalent to a one-time increase in household wealth with the impact effect on consumption being equal to the increase in wealth divided by the number of remaining years of life for the individual receiving the check. If a young person were given $250, he would likely save most of it. If the $250 were given to the elderly instead, then more of the transfer payment would be consumed. Mr. Leonhardt seems to be unhappy with the President's proposal but his reasoning here seems to be very confused.

Valithria Dreamwalker: Who to Beacon?
EDIT: Made some clarifications for non-holy paladins who might be reading this. I have this bad habit of assuming our lingo makes sense to everyone. I'll dig up the focus macro when I get home tonight, for those who might want it.
When my guild first came upon our friend Valithria, I got into an argument with a few people. I wanted to place my Beacon of Light on Valithria and spam heal whoever happened to be in range.
(My reasoning for that, though, was mistaken: it seemed like my heals wouldn't transfer to a beaconed raid member, but would transfer from a raid member to a beaconed Valithria. Either my sense of observation failed me or this was a bug that was hotfixed, because my heals now transfer, regardless of who is beaconed.)
I can't remember exactly why they didn't want us pallies beaconing the boss. The only argument I accepted was that I wasn't sure if the heals transferred from Beacon would be affected by Guardian Spirit. (I still need to test that.) Still, is a buff that up for 10 seconds every minute worth worrying about? After all, I could just switch to the boss during those 10 seconds.
After the raid, we looked up the stats of guilds who had successfully killed Valithria. This was right when the fight first opened, before the duration of Emerald Vigor (you know, THE buff, the orb buff) and of the Twisted Nightmare had been increased and certainly before the 5% buff had been put in. So there weren't many guilds who'd won the fight yet.
At that time, all the paladins who had successfully completed the fight had been direct healing the boss.
From then on, I've been Beaconing a tank and direct healing the boss. I'm sure the outside healer appreciated the gesture. (As a side note, I also don't shy away from spending a global cooldown on a well-placed Hand of Protection.)
However, after reading more and more about the fight, I'm now noticing that the trend is actually to Beacon Valithria. Beacon Valithria and heal a target within 8 yards of her (most likely yourslef) to take advantage of the juicy Glyph of Holy Light procs that would splash extra heals onto her. Since I'm always hot on the latest trends, I pulled up the Holy Paladin rankings on WoL for Normal modes 10 man and 25 man.
As you can see for yourself, it's unanimous, Beaconing Valithria is the way to go.
While I was at it, I looked up the heroic rankings on the fight and, again, all the holy paladins are using Beacon on Valithria.
Of course, "just because everyone is doing it" doesn't mean that it's the only or the best way, but the Glyph of Seal of the Light splash is worthwhile – 10% of a 20k to 60k heal is SEXY. The constant extra heals from the Glyph on the boss can make a pretty big difference, according to some of the stats I pulled up, it can account for up to 40% a paladin's effective heals. It's not as helpful to the raid healers as beaconning a tank, but this is really a question of communicating with them and seeing if they need the help.
Other tidbits about the fight
In case anyone reading this is interested, here's some other tips and tidbits about the fight.
– On 25 man, we run with 7 healers, 3 enter the Dream (two pallys and a druid), 4 heal outside. The guilds ranked on WoL use 5 or 6 healers, total.
– On 10 man, we run with 3 healers, 2 enter the Dream (we've done it twice, first time it was pally and shaman, second time it was pally and holy,I think, priest). It seems like the fight can easily be done with 2 healers, a pally entering the Dream and the other healer staying outside.
– As a paladin, use your spell power trickets, your Libram of Veracity, Glyph of Seal of Light (and unlike me, don't forget to switch your seal to Seal of Light).
– Pop your cooldowns! First at the beginning of the fight, then right after the Dream, if they're available.
– Pick a portal as soon as they spawn and stand near it.
– Putting an icon over the healers taking portals helps avoid "portal stealing".
– Flying around the Dream world in a tight group and having everyone gather the buff from the popped orbs is ideal, but doesn't work well for my guild. If you're like us, assign each healer a region to avoid "orb stealing". (Example: I take the left side, our druid takes the back and our pally takes the right.)
– Wait until the end of your last Dream phase (ie. the moment where you have the most stacks) and hit Lay on Hands. Squeal with glee. (The squealing part is very important.)
– I've read on Plus Heal that Crusader Aura helps you move faster in the Dream. I have yet to try it, but it seems interesting.
The standard, cookie-cutter approach to this fight is to Beacon Valithria and spam heal yourself or someone near Valithria to really milk your Glyph of Holy Light.
That said, I had been cluelessly Beaconning a tank and spamming Valithria the whole time and, from a healing perspective, since the buff and hotfixes, it's still loldragonhealing.
Still, from now on, I'll be putting my Beacon on Valithria.
EDIT: For those who like macros, this is a focus/cast Beacon one from the Plus Heal paladin forum:

I don't heal PvE, but my sense of reason is telling me that Valithria has always been the only place logical for your beacon. My reasoning is that she is the ONLY target you know without a shadow of a doubt will need every single heal you cast.
If you put your beacon on any target out in the raid there is a good chance that some of your transferred heals will be wasted. Maybe the tank healers are on top of the damage and you're just overhealing them. Maybe the raid isn't taking much damage and rolling hots from a druid is keeping them topped off. You never know. You DO know that until the encounter ends Val is in need of heals constantly.
So, by putting your beacon on Val you can then turn your focus to spamming heals everywhere else in the raid where they are actually needed, and know that your are severely lessening your overhealing % and increasing your mana efficieny.
But, perhaps there is something that I am missing.
March 16, 2010 at 3:19 am
Yeah, it was me on 10m and my main and preferred spec is Holy. Believe me, I am NOT bored outside. 🙂
March 16, 2010 at 5:18 am
Slice: We set up 3 tanks on 25. 1 on the left, 1 on the right, and 1 specifically on Abominations.
Ophie, when you can, look into this: Apparently, if you beacon Valithria and heal yourself while standing next to her, the Holy Light glyph triggers and chains into targets in close proximity, like certain green dragons. Not sure if that's feasible, but that's something that'll keep your mind churning for a while I'll bet.
And yes, I was holy on 10. Both Priests were for additional guardian spirit up time.
March 16, 2010 at 5:20 pm
All your tactics are good for dreamwalker (SoL and Beacon)I can give ya a hint here Ophelie, have a hunter to pick a Tenacity pet, and have that pet to have 2/2 on Blood of the Rhino (talent to increase the healing effects in 40%) then the hunter must park the pet near the dragon and Beacon Dreamwalker while spamming the pet. The direct heal from beacon will be unmodified but the splash heal from HL will heal her for 154% of regular.
Tested already.
I wonder about what you have said about crusader aura, will definetly give it a shoot on Wed.
March 17, 2010 at 4:19 am
This was a great post – and the comments! I am usually the MT but heal on this fight, due to a shortage of pally healers, and will certainly take this information with me this week. Thanks!
March 18, 2010 at 10:33 am
Wow Crusader Aura DOES work inside (Aura mastery with it too), tested last night.
