September 09 2009 11:45AM
We have a buddy who has convinced himself for some reason that today - 09-09-09 - is a day of of magic and wonder because of the fact the date can be summarized with the same number thrice. We wonder if everyone has a buddy like this, who looks at the calendar several times a year and exclaims "DAMN SON! Do you realize that it's (insert stupid date here)" Then he looks around in awe and wonder, as though gumdrops will rain from the sky simply because it's September 9, 2009.
We may not subscribe to stupidity in a grandiose scale, but we can agree that all sorts of interesting things are happening. Much like our colleague Jason Gregor has already noted today, it seems like forever since we have written on the hallowed ground that is the Nation. But unlike Gregor, who is taking his time away to decipher the transgenderedness of Lady Gaga we have busied ourselves getting things ready for the new season.
If you had told us when we launched this site that it would still be around in 2009 we would have roundhouse kicked you in the thorax and then told on you for lying right to our face. Then after we had calmed down from all the crying, we would have probably asked you "does the 2009 version of the Nation have an edit button on comments?" Then you would have been forced to say no, then it would have been back to the kicking and the tattling.
New site on the way
As part of our "throw your life down the toilet and get on with living in the river valley 2009 Edition" we have sat down with some genius progamming types to plot out the future of the Nations. For those of you folks who are new to the Nation, we have had hilarious problems with trying to improve the Nations in offseasons past. The current version of the Nation was launched in December 2008. But much like a pair of Size 32 trousers on Dustin Penner, we too have since outgrown it. So now we have spent the past 2 weeks looking at other websites, stealing ideas, eating granola bars, talking to people way higher on the food chain than we are and putting together a new version of the Nation which will launch sometime in October.
New Gear on the way
We have also received a few emails from folk asking why we have taken down the Nation Gear store on the site. The reason is quite simple one. But because we don't understand web development, computers and refer to electricity as "a miracle," we won't embarass ourselves with an explanation. Suffice to say that the site kept crashing in large part due to the e-commerce department of the operation. The web developers we are now working with reviewed the site and laughed heartily at many of its components. "Har! Har! Har" they would guffaw, "you must be some kind of stupid to have paid for this garbage Wanye. "
That was the point of the meeting when the roundhouse kicking and the tattling began anew.
The point of this story? Yes, we are getting new Nation Gear for the 2009-10 season and yes, it is going to be cheaper than it was last year and yes, it is going to be a wicked new design and yes, there are going to be hats too. It truly is a new beginning.
Jonathan Willis
Well, well, well. Speaking of a new beginning let's take a moment to discuss our good friend Jonathan Willis for a moment shall we? You remember Jonathan Willis right? The guy who has taken more shots to the face than the entire UFC combined from some people over the past 18 months? The guy who has written more articles about the Oilers than the Edmonton Journal in it's entire history? Well all you Willis haters can just get ready to eat a triple helping of wang because:
*massive drum roll*
Jonathan Willis has been hired by the Score
We can hear the haters right now "But how can this be? What am I to do? Why won't girls ever talk to me?" That friends, is because you are ugly. Ugly and terrible smelling and you can't judge talent for shit. Bob Coatsworth, head-big-cheese-massive-deal-guy at The Score sure can though. We discussed this during a lengthy email chat, and we asked him about Willis, the big move and tried to hit him up for a $50 loan (he said he would think about it.)
"We are really excited about this move to bring Willis aboard. As far as hockey bloggers go, there are very few that are as good with analysis, opinion and are especially as prolific as Jonathan. I first started reading Jonathan last winter and kept an eye on him knowing that hiring a full-time hockey blogger was something we'd eventually be able to do. In June we got the okay to do it and then I spent the summer making sure that I couldn't find someone better. I realized right away that would be impossible. The Score has recognized the value of blogs for a while now. There have been blogs of some type on our site going back as far as maybe 2001 or 2002. But it wasn't until the last three years or so, when more resources started going into the website, that we really put effort into blogs to varying degrees of success and failure. Sports blogs are a great complement to the MSM. They don't get much respect because any old keyboard warrior can start one up, but among the hundreds that might do that, there's always a few that dedicate themselves to it and contribute something really valuable. Gone are the days that it's necessary to go to journalism school to get this kind of opportunity. The web has proven that."
Question: How awesome is this? Answer: Very. Big ups to the Score for their forward thinking and general niceness.
Let's all go look at Willis' new site shall we?
Does this mean Willis is leaving OilersNation?
Somehow during negotiations, Willis pounded his fist on the table and demanded he be allowed to continue to write here in addition to his duties for the monolithic Score Corporation. And for some reason or other, The Score agreed. While all you Willis haters are scratching your heads over that one, do us a favor and quickly punch yourself in the face. Just a l'il one for your ol' pal Wanye.
For those of you who skip to the end of articles to start commenting here is a summary:
- Jonathan Willis now writes for The Score and is bascially guaranteed a Pulitzer Prize within hours.
- Jonathan Willis insisted that he be allowed to continue to write for the Nations and impossibly the Score agreed.
- Wanye talked to a big cheese at The Score and he was a nice guy.
- Jonathan Willis supporters are wildly and violently celebrating in the streets. Willis haters are being brutally attacked in their homes and their businesses are being shunned en masse.
- Jonathan Willis has the power of X-Ray vision and the ability to fly.
Congratulations Jonathan!
Always enjoy reading your articles, and I'm glad that someone in a higher position than me recognized them.
September 09 2009, 11:58AM
Finally a real picture of Wanye *swoons to his G-force*
How come Willis drove to Van if he can fly? *scratches head in deep thought- wonders if it's part of an elaberate cover-up* And if I haven't already said it elsewhere- congrats J-Dub. Edit button- woohoo.
September 09 2009, 12:03PM
Great news for Willis even though we'll likely see less of him. Congrats.
September 09 2009, 12:04PM
@ OvenChicken8:
Do you see my kick ass nunchuck collection in the background? Don't mess with me my man. Not now, not ever.
*swings nunchuck in a circle once, hits self in face causing irreperable damage to his orbital bone*
September 09 2009, 12:05PM
Freakin awesome, JW totally deserves it! ON will have a good link to bigger and better.
Wanye, this site has come a long long long...long way.
and it is still climbing - fantabulous.
long time reader and sometime poster, jayoilfan
September 09 2009, 12:06PM
Congrats Jonathan! Nobody puts as much effort into his articles as you do. Maybe I am a little selfish, but I will be a little disappointed that the number of articles you submit to ON will be reduced. I guess I will just have to visit The Score website from time to time.
Don't forget the little people and make sure you throw us a stat or formula to us bottom feeders every now and again!!
September 09 2009, 12:07PM
In an amazing coincidence...this article has allowed me to cross off five tasks from my list of things to do today:
- Pressure Wanye for a new site design. CHECK.
- Be around to watch Jonathan Willis become more famous. CHECK.
- Witness copious amounts of roundhouse kicks. CHECK.
- Some how will the production of new nation gear. CHECK.
- Look at a calendar. CHECK.
This is just fabulous.
September 09 2009, 12:09PM
@ The Towel Boy:
I think you forgot one:
- Make excellent use of bolding in a comment on the nation. CHECK.
Congrats Jonathan. Well earned and deserved.
September 09 2009, 12:12PM
Is that the entire yearly Nation budget in your hands Wanye? Hundred Dolla Bills Y'ALL!
Oh and way to go JW! Does that mean you're going to have real credentials now? Take that Stau...oh right, we're not kicking that dead horse anymore.
*backs slowly out of the room, runs back in for one last kick before smugly turning away*
September 09 2009, 12:12PM
Nice stache. You sportin a serious knife collection too homedog.
That cash will get you a lot of granola bars, you might even be able to make the jump from generic to name brand stuff.
*goes back to eating expired presidents choice g/bar while waiting for the next big Poweraid sale*
September 09 2009, 12:23PM
@ dyckster:
The knives are there for show. It's the nunchuckery that brings the pain. On a similar note to the powerade sale, did you know some Subway locations have $5 footlong subs after 5 PM?
That is mad decent. I found that out last night and can't stop thinking about it for some reason.
September 09 2009, 12:24PM
@ Wanye Gretz: If you had told me back when this site first shot out of the proverbial womb that OilersNation would have come this far, well as that whole Comrie thing has proven, I would have had to believed you. I must say, If things were as rosey in the real Oilers Nation as they are on this site we'd be planning the parade route right about now. Yes we would have psychic abilities.
September 09 2009, 12:26PM
What does Stauffer have to say about all this? He was just busting Willis' chops a week or two ago. Congrats JW. You've earned it.
Well I hope you can keep doing what you obviously love JW. There's lots to be said for living the dream.
Yeah Willis! Hard work always pays off in the end. Keep on doing what you do!
September 09 2009, 12:34PM
But much like a pair of Size 32 trousers on Dustin Penner, we too have since outgrown it.
That line made my chocolate milk come up through my nose. I plan on stealing it and using it at some point...now if only I had an idea for an awesome website that I would soon outgrow....
Also congrats to JW, I've always enjoyed your work amd now I have a reason to visit the score.ca
September 09 2009, 12:34PM
atta boy, JW - although I think Wanye sells you short with just a Pulitzer. I finally believe World Peace in our lifetime is possible. I'd say Wanye's lifetime, but those nunchuck warriors don't often make it past 22.
Especially then ones that keep cracking themselves in the skull.
Funny how that works.
@ Wanye Gretz:
I have like 17 $5 subs a week down here! It's GLORIOUS!
September 09 2009, 12:36PM
@ Travis Dakin:
Can you imagine if the Oil don't make the playoffs this year and there has been 4 seasons of OilersNation playoff free commentary?
We would literally all have to have a summit meeting to plan a bloody takeover of the team. We could install Willis as GM, Brownlee as Director of Player Personnel and Intimidation and Gregor could be Director of Male Modeling.
JSBM would be the waterboys of course. Nude waterboys at their insistence.

I can't believe the miles they've gotten from the whole Jared Fogle gig. Who da thunk it, some fat guy starts a "diet" soley consisting of Subway grub, loses like, 200 pounds and he's almost as famous as the ON writers....Fack.
I'm gonna go on a Bud Lite Lime diet, maybe I'll get to hang out with those sexy Bud Lite behotches. Take that Jared!
September 09 2009, 12:39PM
@ dyckster:
I read somewhere that Fogle has to be weighed in on a regular basis and has strict clauses in his contract about gaining back weight. What a clown.
@ WG @ dyckster
I heard Jared didn't lose the weight because of Subway but because he has AIDS. It was on either 60 Minutes or Southpark- either way reputable sources.

Can you imagine what playoff commentary on the Nation would be like? Seriously, it's like I'm a virgin and waiting for that one magical day when my number gets pulled and I get served. I mean, I think I have an idea of what it might be like.... I've practiced thousands of times over for just such a chance. I've got the landscaping taken care of for the optical effect. Cologne is on, protection is ready, just waiting...... waiting and lurking.
One day..... one day.
September 09 2009, 12:48PM
Most importantly, Does Willis get a press pass now? Will it work better than Wanye's New Gear section? Can the Towel Boy's infamous fatboy shooting AK-47 be included in new gear? What really happens when you cross streams? Can JW ask Cabbie to sign an autograph? Will there EVER be an edit button?
*hysterical laughter turns into hysterical sobbing, archaeologuy wakes up in the fetal position and drowning in a pool of his own saliva*
September 09 2009, 12:50PM
Less is more Bob-o wrote... well I think the score thinks quite the opposite. More is more Bob, more is more.
Well done Willis, however I would have named my blog over at the score - Whatcha talkin' 'bout Willis! I'm sure you never heard that before. I am so original.
Congrats, and Wanye good luck with Oilersnation 3.0.. at least that's the revision I think this site is at?!
September 09 2009, 12:50PM
@ Travis Dakin:
Two years ago we designed a special skin for the Nation for when the Oilers make the playoffs. It is so cool. I often look at it and smash things around the house.
"One day..... one day." - that should be our site motto.
Rocksteady wrote:

This will be version 3.0 yes. We have sort of committed to redeveloping the site every season until we buy our own NHL team, move it to Canada and put it in the Old Rexall Place when the Oilers move into RX2. Then we will sign Ryan Smyth (Age 43) and he will lead the team to a satisfying 12-68-2 record.
September 09 2009, 12:51PM
Congrats Willis. Just shows you how far hard effort can go.
As for ON, it's shocking how you fast you guys grew in 1 years. Great business model, and a great alternative to sites like the Oilers homepage or HF.
@ TravisDakin *Crosses fingers it's not 4 and out and prematurely done before it gets a chance to really start*
September 09 2009, 12:53PM
@ PunjabiOil:
Thanks for the props, man. I hope you'll be writing more at your website, too. I always enjoy me some PunjabiOil.
Also, just to correct you, we've been around for nearly TWO WHOLE YEARS NOW! Where does the time go?
*opens his OilersNation 2007 Yearbook, notes how dumb Wanye's hair looked back then, sheds single tear*

Totally different topic, has anyone been to this site? I swear some of those hillbillys shop at the St.Albert Walmart. http://peopleofwalmart.com/
Good fun though.
Oh ya, congrats JW, now all those folks who haven't been following Oilersnation will find out what they've been missing!

If you love nunchucks... you need to see the movie Eagle vs. Shark. Somewhat similar to Napoleon Dynamite, with 4000% more New Zealand accents.
Oh, and Congrats JDub!
Wouldn't it be hilarious if the new ON still didn't have an edit button?
@ West End Mike: I think Stauffer actually paid Willis a compliment on the radio yesterday morning. He was talking about being able to back up a critical comment made about a player if you get confronted. He said the best analysis these days comes from some of the bloggers using stats, since they're not bound by article size limits etc. like the newspaper guys. He never mentioned Willis explicitly, but I can't think of a better Oilers blogger who uses stats. Bob ain't no dummy and usually chooses his words carefully, and it sure sounded like he had Willis in mind. Way to go Jon. OilersNation: Strong-arming national sports networks since September 2009.

Eagle vs. Shark might actually be the worst movie ever made... Which is weird, because the dude from Flight of the Conchords is in it.

It would be even more hilarious if the "edit" button didn't work and merely played the sadtrombone sound...or, even better, the price is right loser tune.

@ Bruthah: I won't lie to you, I turned it off long before the last ten minutes.
And if my senile father knew you were mocking Steven Segal, you, sir, would inexplicably drop dead. Uh, because my dad's, like, a ninja.
@ bingofuel Flight of the Concords is awesome and should be enjoyed by all. They take their live act on tour too, which justs adds to the awesomeness. For those looking for a sample- youtube "to many dicks on the dance floor". Musical savants I say.

That's true, but I'm presuming it was around last summer when most of the growth took place? [Brownlee, Gregor, Willis] all signed with no-trade-clauses built into their contracts?
September 09 2009, 01:10PM
@ ronaldo & Bruthah:
We're really moving away from the point of this article, which I believe had something to do with Wanye and nunchuks... And possibly Willis being awesome.
September 09 2009, 01:14PM
Congrats Willis, some of us may not always agree with you, but the talent behind your writing is unmistakeable, you've earned your spot at the Score.
If you ever get to the head office down there, can you push Morency out of a window? That would be solid.
@ bingofuel Ever think you'd type that we're moving away from the POINT of one of Wayne's articles? No offence G, put down the chucks. :)
Congrats, Willis! What an exciting development for you!
As for Wanye, where would we be without you? I love the Willis stats, but there's something to be said for ridiculous pictures of children and deals on subs.
My work day is now complete.
Congrats ON guys. As Dakin mentioned earlier this place has grown in leaps & bounds in terms of content & credibility in the past year. From an article or 2 a week to 2 or 3 articles a day from one guy. The effort that Willis puts into his articles is outrageous, considering the guy has a real job too.
While I'm not really a stats guy & don't read every single article he writes, the Score has shown some tremendous confidence in an "amateur" writer to blog about the whole league. Willis' head is going to explode one day from a stats overload!
I am getting pumped for some new ON gear. I would be grateful if there was a hoodie to add to my collection of 40 hoodies...
September 09 2009, 01:27PM
Congrats JW! I always enjoy your stuff here and over at Copper & Blue (you won't be there anymore I assume?). The new blog is bookmarked for sure. And how you managed to stay here and Hockey or Die is also quite awesome.

Seniors' Strategic Communication Plans Pay Off for Clients
Complex strategic marketing plans were put into action for four D.C.-area clients this spring by American University students in professor Gemma Puglisi's Public Relations Portfolio class.
Students worked in groups to create marketing campaigns for Soapbox Soaps, Nepali by TDM Design, Girl Up and Rock Recovery, reaching out to the campus community, local media, blogs, and related organizations. Throughout the semester, the 22 students in the class worked to ensure the four clients' goals were met. Nepali by TDM founder Michelle Baldwin said "it was great to get so many fresh ideas." Alex Ramdin, another Nepali by TDM representative and an AU alum, added, "I feel like we reached a lot of outlets Michelle and I couldn't have reached on our own."
In their presentations, the students began by giving an overview of each company and its media presence as they existed prior to meeting the class. Next, students walked through the implementation of their strategic plans over the course of the semester, including holding events on campus, Tweeting, coordinating interviews, creating PSAs, pitching to businesses, writing guides, and using personal stories of employees to connect with the public.
At the end of each presentation, the groups detailed the achievements and reach of the overall project.
Erin Libit, Vice President/Director, Health Policy at APCO Worldwide, judged the campaigns. She remarked, "If we had had all of you working at APCO, we would have had a very profitable 15 weeks."
Libit selected the winning team, Nepali by TDM, based on the overall project--from the initial media analysis to outside-the-box ideas. The students received small prizes, and will have the chance to meet with Libit at her office.
Students were highly enthusiastic about the course. Heather Rameau from the Rock Recovery team said, "The value [of the class] was really high… In this class we not only developed the strategy, but enacted it… It prepared us for the real world." The course is a two-way street, Rameau reflected, and both students and clients benefit from the experience. Ramdin, now a client, had taken the class when she was in SOC, said that it was her favorite of her college career.

The only negative thing is that the strap was out of the plastic bag and so it must of became dirty on the transportation.

Celebrities, too, are awestruck over President Obama.
WASHINGTON — It's party time in the nation's capital, which means stars of all stripes hit the slew of post-inaugural balls taking place all over town.
Actors from film, television and the stage arrived at the Harman Center for the Arts in Chinatown to fete President Obama at a bash hosted by the Creative Coalition, a non-profit for the arts started by actor Ron Silver in 1989. The party took place in a space that is, appropriately, part of the Shakespeare Theatre Company.
And yes, even Academy Award winners get awestruck.
"My favorite (moment) was to be standing outside with all my fellow Americans. It was a very moving speech. I didn't know I would be moved, and in fact I was," said Oscar winner Melissa Leo, clad in Ralph Lauren.
Coalition members like David Arquette, Marlon Wayans and Evan Handler mingled inside the ball with a number of politicos, including Jesse Jackson.
"I still geek out when I come here," said Arquette, of his travels to Washington. "Seeing the pageantry and the celebration of America was really interesting. I love the talk about equality. It's about time that was mentioned by the president."
Jackson, too, was loquacious — and in a good mood. "We've been able to win the White House twice," he said of his political party.
In particular, Obama's speech resonated with Jackson. "The American dream and the American promise came together today very well," said Jackson. "He talked a lot there about equality. We must even the playing field."
Actor Giancarlo Esposito wasn't in town purely for the politics: "I love to go to the museums. You can't get a cab, and I realize how beautiful the city is."
Partygoers listened to music by '90s rock band the Goo Goo Dolls. The band's lead singer, John Rzeznik, explained why he was in tune with Obama's politics: "It was really obvious for me because of his positions on women's issues and gay rights, which is really a human issue. His beliefs mesh with mine."
And despite a more subdued inaugural weekend as compared with 2009, entertainers were still excited to see history in the making as Obama was sworn in for a second time on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Handler, Charlotte's better half on Sex and the City, praised Obama's oratorical skills. "It's great. It was a good speech today," he said, adding that he's been a longtime member of the Coalition. "I was last with them at the Republican National Convention, so this is a very different atmosphere."
And of course, what about Beyoncé's stunning performance of the national anthem? "The singing was absolutely gorgeous," said Leo.
But the chilly winter weather wasn't for everyone attending the outdoor ceremony. "I was too cold to be inspired. Hopefully this term everyone plays nice and we get some things done," said Wayans.

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Isaiah 42:5-16
Thus says God, the LORD, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people upon it and spirit to those who walk in it: "I am the LORD, I have called you in righteousness, I have taken you by the hand and kept you; I have given you as a covenant to the people, a light to the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness. I am the LORD, that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them."
Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the end of the earth! Let the sea roar and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants. Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the inhabitants of Sela sing for joy, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the coastlands. The LORD goes forth like a mighty man, like a man of war he stirs up his fury; he cries out, he shouts aloud, he shows himself mighty against his foes.
For a long time I have held my peace, I have kept still and restrained myself; now I will cry out like a woman in travail, I will gasp and pant. I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbage; I will turn the rivers into islands, and dry up the pools. And I will lead the blind in a way that they know not, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I will do, and I will not forsake them.

Nice look, but the fit of that peacoat just looks off. The cut isn't very flattering IMHO, esp in this pic.
Now that's one awesome "randomdude" w/ a nice peacoat.
I took the inside "chest button" and placed it on the bottom of the back vent/split. That way the flare is noticable contained.

"The Gallagher Scholar year has given me broad access to study the intricacies of health policy and to visit the venues of policy in action like the CPT, RUC and MedPAC meetings. It has also provided me a platform to develop a program addressing a critical need in urology policy and advocacy which is the engagement of our newest colleagues. I have developed an introductory educational program that provides a broad overview of urology-specific health policy for residents. My goals are to increase general policy knowledge and interest and to inspire those who will become the next generation of urology policy leaders at the state, section, and national levels."
James C. Ulchaker, MD, graduated from Baldwin-Wallace College and Case Western University School of Medicine. He completed his residency at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. He has subsequently been on the Cleveland Clinic's staff in the section of Urology Oncology/Prostate Center for 14 years. The majority of his research has been in the field of new technologies associated with benign prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer, as well as biodegradable urethral stents and bladder cancer tumor markers.
Additionally, Dr. Ulchaker has been active in organized urology. He has served as president of both the Cleveland Urological Society as well as chair of the AUA's Young Urologists Committee. He currently serves as one of the AUA North Central Section's Representatives to the AUA's Health Policy Council and as chair of the AUA Legislative Affairs Committee.
"While I wanted to use my term as the Gallagher Scholar to delve into advocacy further, I was impressed by how well-rounded and thorough the entire educational program was. I definitely expanded my scope not only in advocacy but in all of the other areas of health policy as well."
Dr. Gonzalez received his degree in medicine from the University of Iowa School of Medicine, completed his residency at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and earned his master's degree in business administration at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.
In addition to his role as faculty member and practitioner at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, he served as Chief of Urology at the Veterans Administration hospital, Lakeside division, from 2003-2006.

"I applied to the Gallagher program for the opportunity to gain education and insight about health policy, both at the national level in Washington, DC, and the local level in Chicago. I feel that the AUA is a proactive organization in the area of health policy, and I wanted to contribute my time and effort to learn about the critical issues facing urologists both today and in the future. With the knowledge gained from the program, I can then act effectively to protect our interests, as urologists, with the guidance of the many talented people within the AUA."
Dr. Saigal is an associate professor of urology at the UCLA School of Medicine, where he earned his medical degree, completed his residency and a fellowship in oncology; he earned his masters degree in public health at the UCLA School of Public Health. In addition to his role as faculty member and practitioner at the UCLA Medical Center and the VA hospital, he also serves as a principal investigator with the RAND Corporation. He has authored more than 40 articles in peer-reviewed journals, with a special focus on prostate cancer and quality of life in patients with prostate cancer. Dr. Saigal, in partnership with Mark Litwin, MD, and under the auspices of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), led the creation of Urologic Diseases in America (UDA), the most comprehensive compendium describing the nature and scope of all major urologic diseases in America.
"Through the Gallagher program, I learned a lot about how health policy is made and how to work with the various stakeholders. The program certainly offered me an opportunity to participate in the efforts to improve quality of care and access to urological care-both of which are longstanding interests of mine."
Dr. Clemens is associate professor of urology and director of the Division of Neurourology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Michigan. Dr. Clemens graduated from The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, completed his residency in urology at Northwestern University and a female urology fellowship at the University of Michigan. While at Northwestern, he also earned a master of science degree in clinical investigation.
As an active member of the Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Committee (QIPS), he has represented the AUA on the Executive Committee of the American Medical Association Physician Consortium on Performance Improvement (AMA-PCPI), the premier organization for the creation of physician level performance measures. Dr. Clemens was recently appointed the Chair of the QIPS Committee, succeeding David F. Penson, MD in that role.
"The Gallagher program exposed me to aspects of health policy I wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise (such as the JAC, the leadership conference at Brandeis, the Coding and Reimbursement Committee). It deepened my portfolio. Equally important was my exposure to people within the AUA who have been involved in health policy for years. Many do not get much credit for their services. I attended meetings and talked to the AUA leaders about their experiences over the years. This was at least or perhaps more valuable than the formal training."
Dr. Penson is Professor of Urologic Surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Director of the Center for Surgical Quality and Outcomes Research at the Vanderbilt Institute of Medicine and Public Health in Nashville, Tennessee. He was formally on the faculty at the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA.
Dr. Penson received his undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania and his medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine. He completed his residency in surgery and urology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), after which he was awarded both an American Foundation for Urologic Disease Health Policy Research Scholarship and a Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Fellowship at Yale University. He received a Masters in Public Health at Yale as well.
A recipient of the AUA's Gold Cystoscope Award, Penson served three years as chair of the Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Committee (QIPS) and currently serves as vice chair of the Health Policy Council.
"For me, the Relative Value Update Committee (RUC) meeting was one of the most educational and important experiences I had in my Gallagher training. I don't think most doctors understand what goes into deciding how our reimbursement levels are determined. You really need to know this information to plan for the future of both your practice and urology in general."

This Lady Of London isn't acting like a lady
. One of the Americans is two timing her significant other with someone she thinks will take better care of her financially.
Are the "Ladies of London" actual "Ladies" or just like "Real Housewives"? HRM would not be happy….ReplyCancel
@Sugar It's
hard out there for a gold digger 😉
You're not missing anything, ghoul.ReplyCancel
From the clip or two Ive seen Seven, it's American social climbers trying to crack the British hierarchy. Oh those crazy americans as they try to smash the culture barriers, with their brash and trash, the hilarity….
There isn't and it isn't and it absolutely delicious..
At first glance I thought it said Lady of Lotion.ReplyCancel
Easy Easy- Noelle is clearly a transplanted gold digger.ReplyCancel
Caroline is my favorite as well! I love how she says exactly what she thinks.ReplyCancel
Ah, thanks, for some reason I thought it was like a British version of the real housewives, except featuring British housewives.
{Repost b/c of the quote from another movie. D'oh!}ReplyCancel
The show is 2 actual Brits (Caroline and Annabelle) and the rest are Americans. Caroline is the tits. Marisa is beautiful and sweet and seems like a princess to me. Juliet is crass and whiny. Caprice needs to be taken out back and shot already. Seriously, she's just the worst except for Noelle and her awful, contrived accent. I got really happy when Bravo manipulated the previews to make it seem like Scott finally understood her game and was leaving her – what a let down.
Yeah I've seen the show once or twice 😉 I wanna be Marisa or Caroline when I grow up.ReplyCancel
I like her too. Not so much with Caprice.ReplyCancel
"Ladies of London", "Real Housewives of wherever", "Kardashians", "X Factor"… I thought local TV sucked here but American TV may be even worse, and I thought it was impossible.ReplyCancel
@ msgirl. Dont waste your time. That show sucks ballz. Boring and pretentious. I watched one episode and I was done. I give it a season or two.
I wish they would bring back rhov. That was my shit. And that gorgeous british sex kitten from first season. She had the personality of samantha from sex in the city in a much sexier and younger package.ReplyCancel
Oops I didn't mean this to be a reply…
I looooove this show!!!
Has anyone noticed that Noelle the London Golddigger has the same face as what's her name the Miami ex playmate married to the plastic surgeon?
Caprice is so over the top ridiculous she makes me laugh so hard!ReplyCancel
Me too! My DH keeps asking why I want to watch TV w so much drama going on. I can't help it.ReplyCancel
I LOVE this show 😀 Each and every one of those broads (particularly all of the Brits) are completely delusional about their status, "friendships" and importance.
Real blue bloods & aristocrats and their actual inner circle would NEVER so much as in passing consider participating in some ridiculous "reality" show. They don't need the money and they certainly do not want for the attention.ReplyCancel
You know what I really love is how they all dress and their houses. Like these broads are soooo much more fashionable than the Bev Hills housewives. They seem to all be loaded with money except for Noelle. I can not believe for the life of me how she was a model unless I am watching plastic surgery gone horrible amok. I started out liking Caprice, but she is getting one of the villain edits. If Bravo history repeats itself, I'll end up hating everybody I dig now and vice versa. I am so glad you peeps watch this. I've been trying to discuss with my girls in real life, and nobody tunes in. Jersey Housewives reign supreme in my hood, I suppose.
Annabelle started out strong for me, but she so needs to get over herself and the whole horse thing just puts me in a coma.
That country estate with the Lady of Sandwich chick was bananas. But the dinner seemed so tedious. God, these Brits with their manners.ReplyCancel
kind of wish they'd break out of the formula of getting fake friends to hang out and then fight about stuff. there has to be something actually interesting about their lives right? no? oh well.ReplyCancel
No no no I disagree I love that show. It's my jam.ReplyCancel
Caroline looks just like Chelsy Davy.ReplyCancel
Right! !#ReplyCancel
Convenient horse accident then huh??ReplyCancel
Noelle and Caprice need to just stop with their faux Brit accents. It was intolerable on Madonna…just obnoxious on them. Annabelle was muse to Alexander McQueen. His former husband confirmed that she and Kate Moss were his closest, and that while Annabelle was a sweetheart, Moss was a see you next Tuesday. Also confirmed mass heroin and coke usage, except – and throw a phone at me — by Naomi. I tried to avoid this show, but it's a lot of fun, thanks to Caroline. Damn you, Bravo!ReplyCancel
I don't know their names but it has to be the blonde who is always bitching about her boyfriend's divorce. She's a gold digger if I've ever seen one!ReplyCancel
BTW, I think the one that was all close to Steve McQueen is on drugs. She always has that I just popped a pill vacant demeanor about her.ReplyCancel

Flip-flopping on Federalism
The next month, a mentally deranged boy stole his mother's firearms, shot her in the face with said firearms, then proceeded to take those firearms to an elementary school and kill 27 children before finally killing himself. Democrats promptly forgot the states' rights arguments that they just made the previous month and immediately began to call for nationwide restrictions on ownership of semi-automatic weapons and the nationalization of records pertaining to firearm sales and mental health. Apparently, many of the same people who think that it's wrong to incarcerate someone for non-violently possessing an inanimate plant don't apply that same argument to… someone non-violently possessing an inanimate tool. Republicans then (correctly) responded that inanimate objects aren't the issue, but that criminal behavior is the issue — the same logic they enjoy evading in the marijuana debate. For the time being, it seemed, everything was back to normal.
Last week, however, the Supreme court heard arguments on cases pertaining to gay marriage, specifically whether or not the ill-named "Defense of Marriage Act" (DOMA) was constitutional and whether or not the the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment would invalidate state laws prohibiting marriage between same-sex couples. Again, we had leftists arguing in favor of states' rights and incorporation via the 14th amendment). The republicans re-iterated their tired nonsense about how smoking marijuana is a gateway drug that leads to legalizing inter-species marriage (or something) and how stoned, inter-married goats destroy the family (or something). Here again, we have the parties flipping and flopping as usual — not on the issue as people tend to focus on, but on the underlying principle behind the issue. But wait — something was a bit different this time around: the arguments now coming from the left arewholly different because you have leftists making arguments based on principle. Namely, the principle of individual rights, and that people should be free to do as they choose without government intervention.
This is astonishing because leftists typically make arguments based on "what works" or "policy outcomes". While it is mind-blowingly naive, arrogant, and reckless to believe that government can or should use violence – that is, create laws – on the basis of "policy outcomes", that is nevertheless how democrats and the left typically making their arguments. When gun laws are the issue, they say more restrictions would reduce gun violence and don't really care about an individual's right to protect his life from violence. When drug laws are the issue, they rarely argue that drugs should be legalized because individuals have the right to choose what they put in their own body. Rather, they argue that we should approach drugs as a "public health issue" (ie: defer to treatment) because that does less harm than incarceration. When mandatory healthcare is the issue, they argue that a government run health system would be more cost-effective — without regard to the morality of taking from one person to give to another. They are certainly not alone in ignoring principle and making specious arguments based on the outcome, but it's very rare to hear a democrat argue because of principle, especially the principle of individual rights. Republicans, at least rhetorically, are more likely to make arguments on the basis of principle, but will discard principle quite readily when it suits them.
Yesterday's Daily Show (around the 8:20 mark) provided a great example of this. Jon Stewart played a clip of Justice Alito (a "conservative" justice), during the Gay Marriage arguments, saying "same-sex marriage is very new. I think it was first adopted in the Netherlands in 2000. So there isn't a lot of data about its effect. You want us to step in and a render a decision based on a decision of the effects of this institution that is newer than cell phones or the internet?" Jon Stewart, rightly, became indignant and added "No, we want you to step in and render a decision on whether it's right or fair or just under the constitution, having nothing to do with its 'newness' and what you think might happen… You don't have to beta test rights". I agree with Jon Stewart 100% on this. The trouble question is: why doesn't Jon Stewart agree with Jon Stewart on this? He clearly doesn't agree that someone has the right to keep what they earn or the right to defend their life with a weapon of their choosing, so why would he base his argument for gay marriage on individual rights? This is not limited to Jon Stewart by any means — I saw much of the same on many news sites and my facebook feed throughout the week — but the segment provides a well-known example of the type of doublethink exhibited by democrats and republicans alike.
Amazingly, many people think that the problem we have nowadays is too much ideology and lack of compromise. If people think ideology is driving debates in this country, they aren't paying attention. Rather than too much ideology, our political landscape is hodgepodge of disparate desires about how people think the world should be coupled with a complete lack of morality and decency about how to achieve that, with just about everyone using government as a truncheon to force their fellow man to conform to their worldview. Democrats try to use government to make sure that your hard earned money is distributed around the country (to fund social programs) and around the globe (to fight wars) while republicans try to use government to prevent gays from getting married while claiming to steal slightly less of your money than the democrats but still doing all the same things.
Occasionally, someone drops a nugget of truth, such when stand-up comedian Chris rock says "no decent person is just one thing. republicans are idiots and democrats are idiots. conservatives are idiots and liberals are idiots. any person who makes up their mind before they hear the issue is a Fuckin' fool". He started that off right and then botched the landing. If I started a question with "is it acceptable to steal…" do I really need to finish that sentence? Must I really elaborate on the conditions surrounding this hypothetical theft? Is it worth hearing me out to see if I make a good moral case for theft? No, because theft is wrong, period. You absolutely can — and in many cases should — make up your mind before you hear the political issue, when that involves calling for more violence to be inflicted on your fellow man. If you're advocating expansion of government, you are, by definition, promoting theft of property (in the form of taxes) and violence (the introduction of force) against ostensibly free individuals. See, what this boils down to is that you either believe that individuals have natural rights or you don't. If you believe that individuals have natural, inalienable rights by virtue of owning their own bodies and you have the guts to take that belief to its logical conclusion, than you should reject any government encroachment on the individual, no matter the issue.
Here is a handy stick figure video to explain things if you're straddling the fence of morality on this:

Please Note: Baits and Jigheads not included.
Nothing's Built Better. Nothing Lasts Longer.
The Terminator Titanium Rig features a patented SnapBack Titanium wire frame that provides a long-lasting, non-breaking, consistently shaped spread. No re-bending is needed to maintain its form. The rugged coupler minnow head also securely locks the arms in place, and premium snaps and 75lb swivels provide added durability. Perfect for simulating a small, vulnerable break-off school of baitfish, a black nickel finish also helps mask the wires' visibility. Ready to rig with your choice of lures, swimbaits, grubs, spinnerbaits or jigs, the Terminator Titanium Rig is available in a range of sizes and colors, and also comes equipped with a convenient ring that slides down from the head to collapse the arms for easy storage.
**Don't forget to check your State's fish and game rules and regulations - a fully rigged Yum Ultralight Flash Mob Jr. Rig is illegal in some States.

Comments: Hey Zack. Try taking a 1/4 ounce weedless swimbait hooks and putting those on bottom two wires. Or if it only has the one try to put a heavier weight on the bottom wire. This will create a keel to the bait. I build arigs and have found this to work every time. Just put heaviest weight on bottom and it will solve your spinning problem. Hope this helps.
From: Clint: Pleasant Plains, AR usa
Comments: this lure is built very well although i find that the smallest (5 inch version)seems to spin and requires very small swimbaits (2.5inches) to in my opinion swim true.

London Wasps grinded out a narrow 10-6 victory over Worcester in their Premiership clash at Adams Park on Sunday.
London Wasps grinded out a narrow 10-6 victory over Worcester in their Premiership clash at Adams Park on Sunday.
It was the hosts who controlled the first half with Simon McIntyre touching down and Stephen Jones adding a penalty as they led 10-0 at half-time.
Andy Goode responded for the visitors with a kick from the tee and a drop-goal, but they had to be content with a solitary point.
This was a battle between two teams who started the encounter in the lower reaches of the table, but both of them should be content with how they have fared in their opening five rounds.
Worcester struggled to score tries last season, but they have so far bucked that trend and touched down 12 times. However, it was the hosts that started the brighter and went ahead through McIntyre's first ever try in the Aviva Premiership.
Jones added the conversion before slotting a penalty to reward the High Wycombe-based outfit's early dominance.
Despite the visitors' change in attitude towards a more attacking mind-set, they had to rely on the defence to keep out a determined Wasps' side.
The Warriors managed to hold on until half-time but they still found themselves 10-0 in arrears. They came out with far more intent in the second period, though, and Goode's first points of the afternoon took Worcester to within losing bonus-point territory.
A long-range drop-goal from the stand-off eroded into that lead further as the hosts became nervy.
Jones had the chance to ease the tension, but his 67th minute penalty attempt missed, although it wasn't to matter in the end as they held on.
For Wasps:
Try: McIntyre
Con: Jones
For Worcester:
Pen: Goode
Drop goal: Goode
London Wasps: 15 Hugo Southwell (c), 14 Tom Varndell, 13 Andrea Masi, 12 Chris Bell, 11 Christian Wade, 10 Stephen Jones, 9 Joe Simpson, 8 Billy Vunipola, 7 James Haskell, 6 Joe Launchbury, 5 Marco Wentzel, 4 Tom Palmer, 3 Zak Taulafo, 2 Tom Lindsay, 1 Simon McIntyre.

3-D welding table converts to any desired configuration
Kemper America offers a new 3-D welding table for single production pieces or series production. The table converts into any desired configuration quickly, even during work process, providing precise clamping options.
A T-slot system built into every table surface piece lets the user create unlimited clamping and stopping arrangements at and around the workpiece. The integrated etched grid allows for precise measuring and positioning. Making adjustments simultaneously on two axes makes it possible to adjust the stops to the exact point and direction needed.
The worktable comes in two work surfaces: gray cast iron for steel processing or aluminum-copper alloy for stainless steel processing. Both surfaces protect the welding table from spatter buildup. The aluminum-copper alloy is suitable for processing of stainless steel as it prevents adhesive contaminants and scratches that can cause continuous corrosion on the surface.

The four physics classes at Emery High recently finished their final lab and project, which was a two-liter drag racer. The students designed their dragster around a two liter pop bottle. Class teacher, Duane Merrell said, "The students have really had a lot of fun with this. They try to design their car to be the fastest. They record velocity data and acceleration data and try to adjust the variables to enable their car to go faster. The students had time trials to start and then they have built and rebuilt and changed designs along the way and now they have a final draft. The dragster is powered with air and water.
"One student decided to make his car lighter and aerodynamic, this worked well because of the wind we've had on race days. It did make a difference. Probably the most unique car was designed by Tyler Thompson and Ashley VanWagoner, they connected three two-liter bottles together. This gave them more air and water within the vehicle
"We had about 100 students participate. The class winners that were the fastest included: Lindsey Reid in 6th hour, JD Jensen in 5th hour, Mike Jewkes in 4th hour, Phillip Chapman in 1st hour and Brandon Wilberg in early bird.
"The students really enjoyed the project and since it was their final exam they had to follow through from start to finish," said Merrell.

A song of ours called 'I'm All Yours' was recognized as 'an entry of merit' in the 2003 Unisong International Competition in the U.S.A. Another song that I wrote the lyrics for called "Keep on Moving", with music composed by Ofer Hamerman, was chosen as one of the top 20 songs in the Dance/Electronic song category in the 2005-2006 "Unisong" International Competition in the U.S.A. Also, in the same competition, my latest release "See the Stars Tonight" (lyrics by Paul R. Thomas / composer, instrumental & music production by Ofer Hamerman) was chosen to be in the top 20 of the Honorable Songs Ballad category 2009.
Also, I received an honorable award from the great Venture Radio station http://www.ventureradio.co.uk (run by the presenters Tracy Clark & John Peters) for been the most popular artist in year 2008.
I was also chosen to be one of the 'Special Mentioned' artists in the Best Female Solo artist category of the Music Aid competition in 2009.
I have performed a number of concerts in France, at Toulouse, Marseille & Nice which were very successful. I was interviewed there by a popular French radio station after which they played an original song of mine on air. I have also been interviewed by a popular music station here in Israel after which they also broadcasted a number of my songs. I have also performed on the Russian TV channel & also recently on the Romanian TV channel "Antena1" on the "Duminica in Familie" family entertainment show with Michaella Radulescu, as well as here on Israeli TV on culture shows. At present, I am planning to release my first International album with my lyricist Paul R. Thomas.

Serving Up Responsibility: A Must Read for Hosts
Serving responsibly is about enjoyment. It's about inviting friends and family to share good times. Alcohol is a product which if misused can cause harm to you and others. Below are some general hints and tips to help make sure you and your guests drink responsibly.
Tips for Hosts
When you're getting supplies for your party, remember to pick up some snacks for your guests (unsalted if possible). Food slows down the body's alcohol consumption. Water and soft drinks should be there so that your guests can pace themselves.
One of the most important tips about responsible drinking is simple-know how much you're drinking. A standard drink is 12 ounces of beer, five ounces of wine or one and a half ounces of distilled spirits. Although the amount of liquid in each drink is different, the amount of alcohol is the same.
If you're doing the pouring at your party, remember: Don't top off your guests' glasses. You're not doing them any favours because they won't be able to see how much they've been drinking and make responsible choices.
Keep your eye out for any guest who might have had too much to drink and plans to drive home. Don't let this happen. Take their keys away or please call a taxi.
Show some love for the designated drivers. In addition to making sure there's plenty of soda and water at the party, you may want to prepare a few non-alcoholic drinks.
If you have bartenders or servers at your party, make sure you talk to them before the party starts. Remind them not to push alcohol. Less is better than more-if your guests want another drink, they can just ask for one.
