Posted on 04/26/2006 7:24:31 PM PDT by Calpernia
Another translated Iraqi intel document has been released which implicates a French state run oil company in efforts to stop the U.S. led invasion of Iraq. Document: ISGZ-2004-028179 as translated here ties two European businessmen convicted in France's largest corruption scandal to the Saddam Hussein regime. The first is Loik Le Floch-Prigent, the former head of the French state owned oil company Elf-Aquitaine, convicted of fraud and bribery late in 2003. His conviction revolved around a scandal involving bribes and kickbacks to various corrupt oil rich governments around the world. His conviction also implicated the Socialist government of Francois Mitterrand in the scandal. Because Elf-Acquitaine is a state owned enterprised, it has long been thought to be a secret arm of French diplomacy.
In 1994, under the leadership of Loik Le Floch-Prigent, the French oil company negotiated lucrative contracts with Iraqi Oil Minister Safa al-Habobi, giving Elf-Acquitaine exclusive rights to the Majnoon oil fields on the border with Iran. Another French government owned company, Total SA--which would later merge with Elf-Acquitaine--was given rights to another oil field. The contracts were worth $100 billion over seven years but were conditioned on the U.N. sanctions being lifted. The major share of oil pumped during the oil-for food regime was done by the now merged Elf-Total SA & Russia's Gazprom.
France, then, had considerable financial interests in seeing that no U.S. invasion took place, and Loik Le Floch-Prigent's former company would be the main conduit for that gain. In January 2003, when this document was written, Le Floch was an independent energy consultant, presumably working for one or another of the French state owned companies.
Dieter Holzer is a German lobbyist connected to the French company. He helped arrange the sale of the East German Leuna oil refinery, during the privatization of formerly Communist run state enterprises, to Elf-Acquitaine during the early 1990s. Holzer is said to have ties to the German intelligence community and was convicted of taking kickbacks in the Elf scandal in November 2003.
From the translated Iraqi intel files. Emphasis mine & my comments in brackets. The entire document is not republished, only those parts which I felt needed more commentary:
The Republic of Iraq
The Intelligence Apparatus
The respectful Mr Director of the Apparatus
Subject: The Frenchman Le Floch and the German Dieter Holzer
In the date of 10/1/2003 [this date is January 10, 2003 & uses the common international dating system] the two mentioned above arrived to the country in visit for two days only and they did during their stay with the following activities:
1. They met with the deputy of the Industry and minerals ministry and they spoke with him about the possibility of building the non working factories since the year 1991 and provide the country with the spare parts that the ministry needs in the domain of industry. [Clearly, they were lobbying on behalf of French interests to complete the projects started in the early 1990's. Part of the deal brokered by Le Floch during his tenure as head of the state owned company was that his company agreed to restore the oil infrastructure damaged in the Gulf War.]
2. They met with Mr. Ghazi Faysal the chairman of the department First Political Department in the foreign ministry and they spoke with him about the following subjects:
I'll break from the document for this important information. According to the CIA, Ghazi Faysal:
Worked to build Tariq under the OMI after MSE was destroyed in the first Gulf war. Served as the director of Tariq until moving to al-Basel center....
Ghazi Faisal had instructed the researchers to avoid synthesis of organophosphorus compounds as it might cause them difficulties with the UN, according to ISG interviews with Tariq scientists, and a senior scientist claimed he did not know of any synthesis of phosphorus based compounds.
The Tariq Company, also referred to as the Tariq Facility and formerly the Tariq State Establishment, encompassed several facilities near Fallujah...a research site in Baghdad ....and several storage locations. Tariq was subordinate to the former Muthanna State Establishment (MSE) chemical weapons (CW) research, production and storage facility near Samarra before it was destroyed. It has a long history of ties to Iraqs CW program, and throughout the 1990s continued to house key CW scientists and maintain basic capabilities to produce at least some CW precursor chemicals. Iraq renovated key processes and reinitiated production of basic chemicals in 2000.
Interesting. Back to the document:
A. The German Holtzer confirmed that Chancellor Shroeder does not like the Leader President [Saddam Hussein] but he still oppose the war and it is because of his stand on this he won the latest elections and in case his stand changes this will lead to his loss of the Chancellery and that he hot replacement is ready to win the position and he is the economy minister the German Clement from the ruling Socialist German Party. [So, even though Schroeder wasn't a big Saddam fan, he had to oppose the war since flip-flopping would mean his government would fall]
B. He mentioned that a meeting in Beijing in the beginning of this month was held between the Prime minister of China and the German Chancellor Schroeder in the occasion of the opening project for the fast train and the latter was asked about the information that was obtained by the Chinese intelligence and it says that Iraq has moved his mass of destruction weapon to Syria and the German Chancellor told him that the German intelligence did not indicate this. And after two days the US state secretary went to Damascus to check on this with the Syrian government that in turn denied this news.. [So, the Chinese thought that Saddam was moving his WMD to Syria, but German intelligence could not confirm it and the Syrians denied it to then Sec. State Powell]
C. He suggested the idea of bringing the Pope John Paul II to visit the country because this visit cause Bush Junior to lose his balance and that he has good relation with the originally German (Ratzinger) in the Vatican and that the latter has influence has influence through waving the card of the financial support that Germany give to the Vatican and it is estimated to be (around 6 billions dollars yearly). [Odd that Ratzinger, who is now the Pope, was seen as a way to influence the Pope's to oppose the war. In my estimation, John Paul II was one of the few politicians who opposed the war on purely philisophical grounds]
D. He indicated that Chirac became a honorary President of Europe not through elections but through popularity since most of the countries of Europe oppose the war but this man is not courageous and he needs the support of Iraq and for example present what proves that his weapons of mass destruction were destroyed. [Ha! Jacques Chirac 'not courageous'. Indeed. So Chirac needed proof, even though his own intelligence agencies were asserting that Iraq had WMD]
C. He express the readiness of French and German companies to execute projects in Iraq as long as the necessary moneys are guaranteed to execute these projects because its revenue decreased lately due the decrease of oil exports. [Again, France is waiting to do business again with Iraq as soon as the sanctions are lifted. What is so odd is how the Left cannot seem to see that the alternative to war was the sanctions, which were quickly eroding under pressure from countries like France that had a financial interest in seeing them lifted.]
3.In our meeting with the German Holzer he spoke about the following subjects:
A. He was shown a secret report prepared by the French Army Chief of Staff who presented to Jacques Chirac warning him of the losses that the French troops suffered in Spain and Germany during Napoleon campaigns because the participation of France in the possible war against Iraq will let her suffer huge human losses because it is impossible getting the Iraqi President by aerial bombing and that the entering in street fights will be a disaster for them. [French army trying to scare themselves out of participating in war? ]
B. He intend to buy a residential house in Baghdad under the name of his wife where as his wife is Palestinian and that he visited one of the houses in Arsat and he paid the house own (150) 150 thousand dollars but the latter asked for 300 thousand dollars. [Was Holzer thinking of skipping town to avoid prosecution and moving to Iraq? Sure sounds like it.]
There's more here.
What is so interesting about this is the depths of the relationship between the French oil company and Iraq and just how blatantly obvious it is that France's national interests were not served by the Iraq war. As I've argued dozens of times here, the Democratic arguement that Bush's failure to gain UN approval and to draw in a larger coalition for the Iraq war was a failure of diplomacy is utter nonsense. Nations go to war because they believe it is in their national interests, and coalitions form when those interests are aligned. No amount of diplomacy or talking can realign those interests. Whether or not Madeline Albright was Sec. of State or Al Gore was President of the United States mattered not one iota. Iraq was not a failure of diplomacy, it was a failure to have allies with mutual interests. Nothing more, nothing less.
I've never read anything by Dr. Rusty Shackleford before and have no idea of his credibility.

"On April 28 1967 the company's disparate brands and products were unified under the Elf brand.
In 1976 Elf-ERAP became Société National Elf Aquitaine (SNEA), later Elf Aquitaine. Elf Aquitaine was listed on the NYSE in 1991. In 1996 the French government sold its stake, retaining a Golden Share. In 2000 Elf Aquitaine merged with Total Fina to form TotalFinaElf, which changed its name to Total in 2003. In 1993 Elf was awarded the exclusive contract to the Iraqi Oil Fields by then Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. This has come under fire pre-Iraqi 2003 war. This also dissproves many conspiracy theories about Haliburton's involvement with Iraqi Oil fields.
"The biggest fraud inquiry in Europe since World War II"
The Elf scandal in France was, according to The Guardian, "the biggest fraud inquiry in Europe since the Second World War. Elf became a private bank for its executives who spent £200 million on political favours, mistresses, jewellery, fine art, villas and apartments".
Iraqi-born Nadhmi Auchi, 13th richest man of Britain and ranked in Forbes, received a 15-month suspended sentence for his involvement in the scandal. Auchi was also linked to the Clearstream scandal, while he is BNP Paribas bank's main private share-holder - until 2001, the money for the Oil-for-Food programme transited through the escrow account of the BNP Paribas [1]. Magistrate Eva Joly investigated the case."
Joseph is doing a great job!!
And I've heard FR mentioned at least 3 times. He told everyone they could come here and read the docs. Talked about the ties between Iraq and Al-Qaeda.
Jveritas - you are doing wonderful. Very careful in your answers, and you are clear on what you've translated and what you've discovered.
Thanks for the heads-up, listening now!
Yes he is! ;*) Go J!

Wonderful job! You sound very strong and matter of fact.<p.
Thank you again for all you are doing. I hope you don't have to be at work too early in the morning. ;*)
Nice work tonight on John Ziegler's program.
If this Dr. Shackleford is credible this looks to be pretty potent stuff. The French and Germans could have lots of egg on face.
You rock JV! Go get em!
Thanks for the PING!
Thus immediately the door was open for foreign companies to compete with IPC, and negotiations with French and Soviet delegations began in early 1968.
In February 1968, an agreement was signed between the Iraqi government and the French state-owned ELF-ERAP. Under this agreement ELF-ERAP was granted prospecting rights against the payment of US$15 million in about 4,000 square miles of land and off-shore areas formerly held by the IPC in which oil had not been discovered.
The prospecting rights were for a period of six years, followed by a 20 year exploitation period during which half of any discoveries would be retained by Iraq.
When commercial production began, INOC would assume complete control of operations and the French company would assist INOC with marketing.
In return, ELF-ERAP would be permitted to purchase 30 percent of the output at preferential rates.
In a further move, the Iraqi government signed an agreement with the Soviet Union in June 1969.
The Soviets agreed to supply Iraq with equipment, technical assistance and loans for development of its oil reserves. In return, the Iraqi government agreed to repay the Soviets in the form of oil deliveries.
The agreement with the Soviet Union was a clear_ indication that the Iraqis were seeking alternatives to the West for aid, and it also demonstrated that the Soviet Union was capable of offering technical help in the oil industry.

That is it, I am glad that others are catching on to some documents that were translated right here on FR weeks ago :)
3 and 3.5 = 300 and 350 million
I'm going to listen to jveritas, but this bit caught my attention and gives me pause regarding Shackleford: "Whether or not Madeline Albright was Sec. of State or Al Gore was President of the United States mattered not one iota. Iraq was not a failure of diplomacy, it was a failure to have allies with mutual interests. Nothing more, nothing less." The doctor doesn't understand 'unable to pull the trigger to defend America' because democrats will not do it even in a last hour.
Sorry I missed your apprearance, couldn't get the streaming clear channels connection to work.
Perdogg posted an article back in October 2004 which dealt with this. So this translation ties in with the article posted in 2004.
France's Saddam deals revealed
The Observer UK (left wing) ^ | Sunday October 10, 2004 | Antony Barnett and Martin Bright
Posted on 10/09/2004 9:10:34 PM PDT by Perdogg
Dramatic new details of France's secret dealings with Saddam Hussein's regime have emerged as part of a fresh corruption investigation into alleged illicit oil deals.
Three executives of France's largest oil corporation have been charged in Paris over claims that they funnelled millions of dollars through a Swiss company in order to bribe officials to gain oil deals in Iraq and Russia.
The disclosure will embarrass President Jacques Chirac as it follows on from claims last week by the Iraq Survey Group that Saddam indirectly paid French politicians and individuals to gain support for lifting UN sanctions and influencing French policy. The ISG's claims were dismissed by Chirac as politically motivated.
In the Nineties, French oil companies Total and Elf-Aquitaine won the rights to develop the $3.4 billion Bin Umar project and the vast Majnoon field in southern Iraq. Total, which acquired Elf, had been unable to exploit these fields while the UN trade embargo against Iraq was still in place. US hawks have accused France of opposing the Iraq war in order to protect its vast oil interests in the country. The three Total executives, arrested after raids on the firm's French headquarters on 29 September, have all been charged with complicity in the improper use of corporate funds.
French investigating magistrate Philippe Courroye, who has been probing these payments since 2002, is examining the movements of funds between a Total subsidiary in Bermuda and a Swiss company, Teliac SA. The Swiss firm is alleged to have served as an intermediary for some $20 million in payments by the oil group into offshore accounts in the Bahamas and Cayman Islands between 1996 and 2001. Courroye has not given any details of what oil deals the alleged bribes were linked to. Total's former head of operations, Jean-Michel Tournier, is alleged to have told the French authorities the company used the Geneva-based firm to pay bribes to 'certain beneficiaries' in return for gaining access to reserves in Iraq and Russia.
Total is known to have carried out a sustained lobbying campaign with the Saddam regime with a view to putting itself in prime position to gain from any lifting of UN sanctions. Total confirmed that certain past and present employees had been questioned but said this had been part of an investigation into money laundering which was not aimed against Total itself.
Among the alleged beneficiaries of the money paid out by Teliac is a Lebanese lawyer close to Saddam's former deputy, Tariq Aziz. The lawyer has strong connections with Charles Pasqua, the former FrenchInterior Minister who was named last week in the Iraq Survey Group as an alleged beneficiary of the UN's oil-for-food programme which Saddam used to pay for favours.
Patrick Maugein, whom the Iraqis considered a conduit to Chirac, is also accused of receiving oil through a Dutch-registered company. The report claims a 1992 Iraqi intelligence service report said Iraq had paid the French Socialist party $1m in 1988.
This weekend it emerged that US oil companies and three American businessmen also benefited from the UN oil-for-food programme. These included Chevron, Mobil, Texaco and Bay Oil. The fact that these companies and individuals received oil from Iraq does not mean they did anything illegal if the individuals and companies received appropriate UN authorisation.
Thanks for the ping!
Kerry's buddies nailed!

This IS a jveritas translation. Love to see these things growing legs.
Bravo Joseph.
Thanks LTGM :)
Thank you very much for your support and your lovely invitation. If you visit Boston please feel free to call me as well and we will have some good time.
Last fall paperjam had a very intesting piece of research involving the French involvement in Iraqi oil deal before the war and its tie-in to Gabon where Joe wilson's ex-wife works for the Gabonese government and how this may connect some of the key players in the Plame affair. It has lots of information that collaborates this document.

Posted on 11/01/2010 5:49:50 PM PDT by kristinn
Following on the heels of the humiliating half-full arena with thousands of empty seats he shared yesterday in Cleveland with Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden this evening made his final 2010 campaign appearance in his home state of Delaware to a paltry crowd of 200.
The AP reported on the rally:
Biden headlined a Democratic rally in downtown Wilmington on Monday evening that drew about 200 people.
In contrast, the Delaware News Journal reported that Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell headlined a Tea Party Express rally also in Wilmington on Halloween that drew 1,000 people--five times the number Biden attracted the next day--in part on speculation that Sarah Palin would show
... there was hope among the 1,000 or so in attendance that the former GOP vice presidential nominee would show.
That's right, in Joe Biden's home state, a mere rumor of an appearance by Sarah Palin helping Christine O'Donnell drew five times as many Delawareans as did the sitting local hero vice president. Now that's an enthusiasm gap!
Damn it, Delaware!!! For goodness sakes, act like the great first great state you are and destroy both Coons and the moron VP Biden (The Dumbest man in the entire universe). Have you no shame?
Forgive me for this.
But when I was a stupid 20-something voting for the best looking names or whatever the heck stupid way I voted, COD would've got me hands down. The witch stuff just makes her that much hotter. She has most of the guy vote. ;-)
I have a sneaking suspicion that what happens in Delaware tomorrow night will dwarf Scott Brown's victory in Mass. last January.
Biden this evening made his final 2010 campaign appearance in his home state of Delaware to a paltry crowd of 200.In his defense, there were only 200 people in Delaware who hadn't met him.
(From Your Lips 2 God's Ears)
200?? That's embarrassing.
lol. I am thinking/hoping she will surprise everyone with a solid win. That would be priceless.
I'd like to know how many of those 1000 came for Christine!
More than some might imagine—a lot more.
Was karl rove among the 200?
I guess SEIU could only book 4 busses.
I hope I've not become a sentimental of fart. I have frequently been called a male chauvinist pig! But in either case; I liked COD the moment I saw her and heard her speak to her audiences in DE. The more I see of her the better I like her. She has a charm when interacting with people that would be priceless if she could bottle and sell it. I just plain LIKE her!
Good Lord! That is a pitiful amount of people for a current Vice President. I am praying Christine wins tomorrow.
Well, the good folks in Delaware finally figured out what a dummy, moron, fool, idiot, useless human being VP Joe Biden is!!!! And Chris Coons is actually and objectively dumber then Biden. Ladies and Gentlemen of Delaware if you want more of Obama and his endless trek to destroy America (that means you!!!) then go right ahead and vote for that left-wing, communist, buffoon Chris Coons. The O'Donnell lass is the one!!!!
If these are AP numbers, the real totals are probably more like 100 to 2000.
Then again, we're talking about a pitiful Vice President.
What's there not to like? She wants to reverse Obamacare, and she looks hot in a bee suit.
A ladybug suit...I looked very closely...and repeatedly...
IF ROVE HAD NOT TRASHED HER>>>SHE WOULD HAVE WON.....Maybe she will side in under the wire...
Good Lord! That is a pitiful amount of people
That's the great thing about those smaller venues,
your chances of winning the door prize are much
better........they do give out prizes for going
don't they?
No? Lame!
From AP? What was their reporting on crowd size comparison between Beck vs. Steward rallies?
Yeah, I thought so.
Christine just mentioned the differing crowd numbers in her favor on Greta. With a smile.
ChristineOD VP Biden comes to DE, stumps for my opponent, and only draws a crowd of 200? Oh, this race is so winnable! http://wapo.st/bc9AlE #desen
16 minutes ago via web
ChristineOD The VP came to rally my opponent's GOTV efforts, but like his economic policies, the rally failed to deliver. http://wapo.st/bc9AlE #desen
8 minutes ago via web
No? Lame!
Well, there was a raffle. First prize was getting a photo taken with Joe Biden--and second prize was getting two photos taken with Joe Biden.
FOr his sake...she better lose by a large margin. If its close...this rests on his shoulders...
Go, Christine!

Some of the simplest computing devices made and sold are aids to counting. From ancient to early modern times, scribes performing calculations moved small stones or metal tokens along lines. More recently, mechanical counters have been widely used to count crowds and objects, and as parts of machines.
In the nineteenth century, several inventors patented mechanical counters. Patent models surviving in the Mathematics Collections at the National Museum of American History suggest the range of their concerns. Paul Stillman in 1854 and Daniel Davies and Edward Wright in 1876 patented improvements in rotary measures, such as were used in revolution counters for steam engines. In 1874, Alexander Atkinson patented a counting register to help track quantities of grain. As the amount of leisure time available to Americans increased, three inventors around 1880 saw fit to patent counters to keep score in games.
By the turn of the century, mechanical revolution counters were incorporated in laboratory apparatus, in factories using engines, in distance measures such as odometers, and in cash registers. Americans manufactured them and imported them from abroad. Government offices bought and made counters to compile statistics, and employers used them to figure out the bills and coins they needed to meet payroll. Of course counters were incorporated in a wide range of vehicles and meters. Handheld counters are used to this day to count people entering and leaving buildings and on public transit.
D. Baxandall, rev, J. Pugh, Calculating Machines and Instruments, London: Science Museum, 1975, p. 66.
Examples of counting tokens are in the Smithsonian's National Numismatics collection.
"Counters - Introduction" showing 2 items.
Counter, Stillman Counting Machine, U.S. Patent Office Model
- Description
- During the second half of the 19th century, steam engines played a growing role in American life. This U.S. Patent Office model is for a counter used to count the number of revolutions of a steam engine. Paul Stillman (about 1811-1856) was one of three brothers who ran the New York City machine shop Novelty Iron Works. He took a particular interest in steam gauges,manometers, steam indicators, and pyrometers.
- In 1848 Stillman took out a patent for a device to measure the pressure of steam and the extent of the vacuum in steam boilers and engines. This invention won him recognition from the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia. The measuring device on this instrument was analog, not digital. In 1854 he patented this digital improvement in counting machines. The following year, he patented a water gauge for steam boilers. Stillman's son, Francis H. Stillman, also became a distinguished mechanical engineer.
- The patent model has a wooden base and sides, with a metal plate across the top with four windows in it. Underneath each window is a cogged metal wheel, with the digits from 0 to 9 around the rim. To the right, on the same shaft as the wheels, is a brass crank that fits through a fifth hole in the plate. Moving the crank forward advances the rightmost wheel by one and, if necessary, activates the carry mechanism.
- A mark on a paper tag nailed to the frame reads: Paul Stillman (/) Appa' for Registering Numbers (/) Dec 15th 1852. A mark on the back of the base reads: 11577 (/) L 1201-1208.
- The Novelty Iron Works made and sold Stillman's register before and after his death. An 1864 price list, included at the back of a new edition of his The Steam Engine Indicator, and the Improved Manometer Steam and Vacuum Gauges; Their Utility and Application, indicates that the registers then sold with dials in 8", 10" and 13" sizes, and had prices of $65.00 to $75.00 apiece.

Payroll Counter or Denominator
- Description
- At a time when employers paid workers in cash, knowing the combination of bills and coins needed to meet a payroll was a challenge. The Denominator, a device for counting items in classes, eased that task and similar cash payments. It consists of a set of eleven counters, each with a separate operating key. Six keys are for values of cents, and five for dollar values. Behind each key are three wheels; the value shown by the wheels increases by one each time the key is pressed. The keys are marked: $20; $10; $5; $2; $1; 50¢; 25¢; 10¢; 5¢; 3¢; 1¢.
- A steel wing nut on the left side zeros when rotated. On the right side is a space for a sheet of forms.
- A mark on the top behind the wheels reads: DENOMINATOR (/) PATENTS PENDING. A mark in front of the keys reads: DENOMINATOR ADDING MACHINE CO. (/) 224-226 SHEPHERD AVE. BROOKLYN, N.Y. A mark on the wing nut reads: 2249.
- The Denominator Adding Machine Company of Brooklyn, N.Y. is listed in Thomas's Register of American Manufacturers from 1916 through at least 1928. According to Martin, it originated in 1915. William A. Cook of Hollis, N.Y, and Joseph Levine of Brooklyn, N.Y., applied for a patent for a "denominating apparatus" March 9, 1921. Their invention closely resembles this product. When the patent was granted in 1923, they assigned it to the Denominator Adding Machine Company. The date of this patent application is taken as the approximate date of the object.

FDA: Fluoroquinolones Associated with Increased Risk of Peripheral Neuropathy
On August 15, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a new drug safety communication (DSC), announcing label changes for antibacterial fluoroquinolone drugs. The FDA is requiring that labels and medication guides for these drugs (administered via injection or taken orally) to "better describe the serious side effect of peripheral neuropathy." According to the communication, onset of this severe nerve damage "may occur soon after these drugs are taken and may be permanent."
Coding Corner:
Increasing Demand for Services Requires Effective Use of "Incident To" Services
The AUA has strongly supported the current in-office ancillary services exception (IOASE) within the Stark physician self-referral law. This exception is threatened by some who claim the exception results in overuse and increases Medicare spending and has expanded beyond its intended scope of tests.
Recently, Reps. Jackie Speier (D-CA), Jim McDermott (D-WA) and Dina Titus (D-NV) introduced H.R. 2914, the "Promoting Integrity in Medicare Act of 2013" (PIMA), which would eliminate the IOASE to the Stark Law for advanced imaging, anatomic pathology, radiation therapy, and physical therapy. The bill sponsors argue that the original intent for the IOAS exception was to permit physicians to provide ancillary services in their offices to better inform diagnosis and treatment decisions at the time of the patient's initial office visit. Therefore, they seek to distinguish between routine clinical laboratory services or simple x-rays that are provided during the patient's initial office visit, and other health care services (such as advanced imaging, anatomic pathology, etc.) that cannot be performed during the patient's initial office visit.
The bill language cites a 2012 Health Affairs study, stating that "urologists' self-referrals for anatomic pathology services of biopsy specimens is linked to increased use and volume billed along with a lower detection of prostate cancer." The bill also cites several major newspapers, including a November 2012, Bloomberg News report stating that "California prostate cancer patients treated by a urology clinic that owns radiation therapy equipment… resulted in a detrimental impact on patient care and drove up health care costs in the Medicare program."
Recently, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched free mobile applications, or "apps," to facilitate accurate reporting of financial interactions between physicians and industry as part of the "Sunshine" final rules, now referred to as CMS' National Physician Payment Transparency Program, Open Payments.
Last month, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule for 2014. In addition to an estimated 24.4 percent decrease in physician reimbursement rates, the proposed rule contains a number of policy and payment revisions. The proposed rule also would implement several statutory provisions for quality program initiatives, including the Physician Compare website, the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) and the Physician Value-Based Payment Modifier and Feedback Program. Many of the quality provisions are directly related to the Affordable Care Act and would substantially affect how AUA members participate in these programs. CMS has issued a fact sheet on the proposed policy and payment changes and another fact sheet on the physician quality programs and the Value-Based Payment Modifier.

Replacing "Authentic" in Social Media

Authentic. You can't turn around in the social media echo chamber without bumping into this word. The problem is, beyond the social media land of unicorns, authentic isn't relevant.

4 Problems Killing Thought Leadership Marketing
Digital B2B Marketing
Chris Koch shared Four Reasons to Hate Thought Leadership earlier this week. He made some great points in his call to end the use of the phrase thought leadership, but ultimately I disagree with his conclusion. We don't need to stop using the phrase, we need to start using it right. The problem is thought leadership has become a catchall for any marketing that includes content. Unfortunately, looking back, it isn't surprising that this happened. Here are four of the underlying problems that created the situation. 1. Marketing can facilitate, organize and amplify.

The History of Marketing: An Exhaustive Timeline [INFOGRAPHIC]
Ever since people have had something to sell, we've been marketing. But the effectiveness of those marketing methods have waxed and waned over thousands of years, and as consumers and their technologies advanced at a more and more rapid pace, marketers have had to change their game. It's up to marketers to keep pace in this cluttered, fast-paced world if they want their message heard.
Four reasons to hate thought leadership

You may have noticed that I've changed the name of my blog. I've changed it for two reasons. First, because I've left ITSMA and joined SAP , where I will focus on marketing the good ideas of the many subject matter experts there. I'm going to share my experiences in helping to build an engine for developing and disseminating good ideas for SAP (with names changed to protect the innocent and guilty alike).

Was Skeptical, But It's Worth Every Penny!When I started hair dryer shopping, I dismissed this one as too expensive. I bought the Salono Classic instead based on it's fantastic reviews, but it was heavy and made my hair knot while I dried it. So I returned it and decided to give this one a shot - this hairdryer has literally changed my life.
It's light and easy to handle, but also super-powerful. I can dry my hair in half the time it used to take me and it's never felt more smooth and healthy.

I have used my new Sedu for about 2 weeks now and I am really impressed! I was a bit worried from reading some of the other reviews on folica, citing things like 'too heavy' and 'loud'. The Sedu is indeed heavier than my other dryers, but I have quickly adjusted. And I don't notice it being any louder than normal. I do feel the cord is way too long for my needs, but if you were a professional stylist, I can see how this would be an advantage. I have also noticed that the temperature doesn't seem as hot at the low setting as I am used to, which concerned me at first. But it gets the job done, and quickly, no problem! So I figure that the slightly lower temp is probably a good thing, because my hair looks fabulous! And I have stopped having to use my flat-iron as often, because my Sedu has tamed my frizzies! I honestly don't know how...........it must be magic!Apr 19, 2011Nancy In The Oc / CaliforniaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Worth The Extra Money!I have had this hair dryer for two weeks. I am really pleased with my purchase. I have thick long straight hair, and it has cut down on my drying time. It also leaves my hair with a nice shine, and has not shown any signs that it will dry out my hair. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone! Take the splurge on the price, it is worth it!Apr 19, 2011ShannonHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Worth The Money!!!!I love this dryer. It gets really hot but it drys my hair in about 5-7 minutes compared to my old dryer of 25-30 minutes. The cord is really long, but it doesn't bother me. The one thing I wish was a little different was where the cold shot button is, it's a little difficult to use it without pressing the button. But other than that it is by far the best blow dryer I have ever used. I use to have use my moraccan oil on my hair after blow drying, for flyaways,my hair but I don't with this dryer because it really helps smooth my hair.Apr 18, 2011Gracia W. / Mobile, ALHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair

Quick Dry But Not As Hot As ExpectedI love the long cord, the lightness of the dryer, and how quickly it dries my hair. It's also not terribly noisy, which is good for my sleeping roommates. I was surprised, however, that it doesn't get as hot as other dryers I've owned. Makes me think my hair is is not quite dry.Apr 17, 2011Diane Q. / Washington DCHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Love This To Death (even Though I Just Got It)I'm a Black woman with semi-relaxed neck-to-shoulder-length hair (lots of new growth) and I used this as soon as I got it last week. Sedu owners are not kidding when we say that this dryer is the truth! I previously owned an Andis that I bought from Target out of desperation, and the result on my hair was a desperate cry for help. Heat-protecting products couldn't prevent the frizzy/krinkly dry fire-hazard-of-a-mess that resulted from use of the $20 Andis. I could feel and hear how dry my hair was when I touched it! Following up with a flatiron was mandatory. With this Sedu, flatironing is optional if you want extra shape or shine. I still used heat-protecting measures, but the magic really has been with the dryer! My hair hasn't felt so good in a loooong time! I didn't bother to follow-up with a flatiron. Weekly washings will never be the same again! I'm tempted to bring this with me to salons for them to use when I get a trim, but I'm not ready to trust even family with this dryer! I'm just sayin' :DApr 14, 2011Fabi / NYCHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Relaxed Hair

Weird DesignI can't believe that no one mentioned this in the many reviews of this dryer (or I have strange expectations) but the dryer basically has NO NOZZLE. The round end of the dryer appears to be designed only to be used with one of the two condenser tips (the thing with the slit opening to condense the air stream) which are almost IMPOSSIBLE to put on and then IMPOSSIBLE to turn around so that the angle of the slit is where you want it. Then, if you want to change the tip, I almost broke it trying to get it off the dryer and. I did not want the hassle of sending it back and I thought it would make a good travel dryer since it is small but I am basically using it without the tip and I was a little nervous about that. It does dry quickly and is lightweight and my hair, which is pretty silky, comes out very nicely.Apr 14, 2011Ellie

I guess I grew up on big band type music...lots of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and other music from that time period. Also, randomly enough, The Beach Boys were on a lot on my house haha. Then when I started to get into music for myself I just listened to what everyone else was listening to. This was when the Spice Girls and all the boy bands got big so I was pretty much a slave to all that.
As for now I don't really have a specific taste...I chose R&B/Rap/Hip-hop because it's what I'm mostly listening to right now, but I also really like kind of folksy alternative stuff...Jack Johnson, Jeff Buckley and the like. But really, I'll listen to anything that sounds good to me.
everything really.
now tho, i listen to nirvana, S.O.A.D, serj tankian, nick cave, TBDM and alot of other metal/death core frequently.

no one can tell me otherwise

thats just one more NOOB i'd be glad to PWN
I'm not into 1 genre anymore. My taste developped through the years, now I can appreciate a lot more than I used to.
Started out as someone that listened to songs in charts. When I was 11 or something I got the album The Eminem Show and the album Meteora. This basically defined my music taste for the next 4-5 years.
My hip-hop taste went from the commerical hip-hop that Eminem was to the more underground artists like Gang Starr, Non Phixion and Jedi Mind Tricks. Also I started lsitening to Dutch hip-hop, since I get the wordplay far better than the english.
The Linkin Park music went the metal way. I mostly started listening to thrash metal like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax. (Still need to see Megadeth live >:( )
When I was 15-16 years old I started clubbing and learned to appreciate dance and other music like that. First to dance with chicks , and later learned to appreciate it. Also I started listening to Drum n Bass.
So by now I basically like all music, as long as its music that's put effort in.
Now I finished my essay I realize I'm way too much like zidane. Damn you.

I picked Classical out of the choices given :1
It was anime that got me into classical tbh, after hearing Pachelbel's Canon in D major (the quartet they play in end of evangelion), I think it was because I was engrossed with what I was watching at the time, I just really loved that piece of music.
Years later, hearing Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in Nodame Cantabile just made me love it even more :o
I used to listen to WhiteSnake, Alice in Chains, Faith no More, The Who, Nirvana, Tool, The Offspring (Smash was my favorite album as a kid) and AC/DC (Before Bon Scott died :< ).
Most of it is too noisy for me now though, I like chilled out instrumental music.
I still listen to Placebo and A Perfect Circle sometimes.
I also agree with Arisato on Rap and I can't stand any sort of metal genre where all the singer does is scream, any chance of me enjoying the instruments go down the drain the second someone decides to scream and ruin a good song :1
I took a while for me to take an interest in music, because mostly I'd just hear certain songs and think,"Heh that's catchy" and that'd be all.
My dad probably influenced me the most when it comes to my musical taste. He was kinda weird because he'd love classic rock like Metallica, The Eagles, Van Halen, Guns N Roses, you name it he loved it, and yet at the same time he loved what seemed like every 80's hit imaginable. It was funny and cool at the same time and I pretty much adapted his music tastes with, "Hey if it has a good beat and nice lyrics I can get into it." Also thanks to him I picked the ever so wonderful habit of singing with the Radio because it's so DARN FUN
I remember my first CD I bought was some kind of Disney All Star thing with people like Aaron Carter, Destiny's Child and Usher singing classic Disney Tunes I'd say rock in all of it's incarnations is my favorite genre but I listen to everything so I feel like I get the best of both worlds.
Reggaeton is also something I hear alot due to having a Mexican family. It's cool to hear songs in Spanish for the same reason that it's cool to hear music in Japanese or other languages because music transends all of that. If it's a good song you can usually tell even if you can't understand everything about it. Music in it's entirety is something I love, and Mariachi Bands Rule.
thats what i mainly listen to, but i also listen to alot of hard rock, old bands as well,
reason i listen to Heavy Metal is cause well..while i was growing up, my dad was a drug addict, and heavy metal would help me escape those problems and be at peace. Bands like Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden and Slayer helped me refuge from those problems. And well soon the problems got bigger and well, for me, the music got heavier and well u can say, darker. but even when i would listen to bands like Emperor and Belphegor i still jammed to the tunes that got me into what i listen to now and well if anyone is wondering, dad went to a rehab around a year ago already, 3 or 4 months later he got out, and hes a real badass dad.
I have several tastes, like some ppl that listen to Killswitch Engage will start listening to Metalcore as a general, as for me, not really. bands have to be good for me to like. But then sometimes ill like them cause i just end up liking it.
some hard rock/ metal bands i listen to are Jimi Hendrix, Rush, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Quiet Riot, Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Queen, Bad Company, (old) Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Testament, Slayer, Exodus, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Label Society, Lamb of God, Pantera, Cradle of Filth, Alice in Chains, Arch Enemy, Atreyu, Audioslave, Behemoth, Vesania, Black River, Blood Bath, Breaking Benjamin, Children of Bodom, Coheed and Cambria, Disturbed, Dream Theater, Firewind, Heaven & Hell, Ihsahn, Iron Maiden, Joe Satriani, Journey, Kamelot, Killswitch Engage, Kiss, Masterplan, Motley Crue(i really dislike glam metal but some of their songs are good, their old songs), Opeth, Azarath, Nomad, Vader, Immortal, Emperor, Belphegor, Rob Zombie, The Police, Queensryche, Roadrunner United, Shadows Fall, Slipknot, Steve Vai, System of A Down, Trivium
those are at the top of my head
ofcourse, i jam to some old rap tunes cause thats what i grew up with, that and rock, and spanish music

i originally listen only to rock but those were my younger years. now i listen to just about anything as long as its good. from techno to rap, everything floats my boat. right now i like jazz/blues, its not like i know anything about the jazz culture, but they have some amazing and sad stories from what i can tell.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
I personally believe that if you search, you'll find music of great quality for any given genre. I dont like one over the other. I listen, and try to understand the individual artist making orchestrating the music instead of relating them to the genre. But with that said, I've been heavily influenced by hip hop/rmb, and jazz. So my choice would be both(so I guess I cant vote :().
i listen to a variety of genres, i can get down to anything except country.
i hate country.
but right now i like more pop rockish bands. they're fun, and aren't going to be saying how they want to change the world, and thats what im looking for right now. just fun stuff

Veteran Writer/Director Henry Jaglom has been making small but acclaimed indie films since the early '70s, and Emmy Award-winning Israeli DP Hanania Baer has been working with him since 1984. By his own estimate, Baer has shot "about 12" of Jaglom's films, including Festival in Cannes, Déjà Vu and Last Summer in the Hamptons. Their recent feature Irene in Time is a drama about the complex relationships between fathers and daughters. The film stars Andrea Marcovicci, Victoria Tennant and Karen Black, and was shot on location in L.A. over a two-week period. Baer says that the shoot typifies Jaglom's unorthodox working methods. "The camera is just like another character for Henry and has a dialogue with the actors," he says.
Baer shot Irene in Time with two Moviecams, "one in the studio mode, and the lighter SL version for all the handheld shots." He reports that it's a challenge to shoot and light Jaglom's films since they don't really work with a script. "We have an outline but things keep changing on the day, as his goal is to always give his actors as much freedom as possible, and to make them as unselfconscious about the camera as possible," he explains. "It's a very different method from a traditional Hollywood way of working where you break up the scenes into shots and set-ups, and you're very particular about camera angles and all the lighting. And on top of that, Henry often likes to use non-actors, so the whole approach is very loose and spontaneous."
With all this in mind, the DP was equally as loose as he approached the lighting. "You don't want to limit any of the actors by doing a lighting set-up that forces them to stay on a specific mark," Baer notes. "So my lighting approach tended to be more generalized, as there's no standard breakdown of scenes into master shots, close-ups and so on. It's more a matter of creating an atmosphere and feeling that doesn't intimidate any of the actors while they're doing a scene."
Baer reports that the shoot didn't require an extensive lighting package, and used a mixture of lamps. "We rented all the lights from our gaffer, Ted Hayash, who supplied the lights through his own company, Digital Film Studios, and used a bunch of HMIs, the largest being 6Ks," he says. "And we didn't work so much with hard lights, but more with soft lights and bounce lights with a lot of diffusion. We used quite a few Kino Flos and also had a package of tungsten lights, the biggest being some 5Ks, which I basically used for all the night shoots as well as some interiors. And with today's film stocks, you can mix every color temperature because there's now so much latitude compared with all the stocks when I began shooting some 40 years ago. There's been so many advances, and that's really affected the way you light as well."
Baer, whose extensive film credits include A Christmas Carol, Masters of the Universe, The Beast, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and Dark Tide, says he always enjoys working with Jaglom and on indie films. "You never know what's going to happen next, and it allows you to be quite inventive, which I love," he says. "It's always interesting."

Sarel Pretorius scored two tries as the Cheetahs beat the Highlanders 36-19 in an entertaining clash in Invercargill on Saturday.
Sarel Pretorius scored two tries as the Cheetahs beat the Highlanders 36-19 in an entertaining Super Rugby clash in Invercargill on Saturday.
The result is the Cheetahs' first win over the Highlanders in eight attempts, but they certainly deserved the four points collected at Rugby Park as they bounced back from a drubbing at the hands of the Chiefs last week.
The sides scored three tries each with all the Highlanders' touchdowns coming via a hat-trick from wing Kade Poki.
The Cheetahs backs scored all the tries but credit must go to their untouchable line-out and outstanding back row, who dominated their opposition.
Three first-half tries from the Cheetahs, including a charge down and an intercept, saw the visitors race to a 30-7 lead.
The second half was simply a case of managing that lead and the Highlanders never realistically threatened a comeback.
An early penalty from Johan Goosen gave the Cheetahs the lead and they went further ahead on the 20-minute mark when Pretorius finished off a wonderful move that he had started in his own 22.
The Cheetahs were rewarded for their industrious spirit and excellent support play from Pretorius saw the scrum-half bolt clear. Goosen added the extras and a penalty to leave the visitors 13-0 up.
The Highlanders' reply wasn't long in coming however as Poki collected Lima Sopoaga's chip ahead to score and narrow the gap to six.
That was the home fly-half's last positive contribution however as the rest of his game proved to be a nightmare.
Robert Ebersohn charged down Sopoaga before turning on the afterburners to score the Cheetahs' second try and leave Goosen with an easy conversion. The Free Staters' fly-half then landed a long-range penalty after Sopoaga was caught offside to stretch the lead at 23-7.
Sopoaga was again the guilty party when Pretorius intercepted near half way and sprinted clear for his second the Cheetahs' third try.
That was the final straw for Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph, who yanked Sopoaga off in favour of Colin Slade just before half time.
The hosts got the second half off a perfect start as Poki bagged his second at the end of huge overlap after a sweeping build up.
As planned, Springbok flank Heinrich Brüssow made his long-awaited return to the playing field with 30 minutes left on the clock he was immediately in the thick of the action.
Goosen added three more points going into the final quarter as it became clear the Highlanders were not going to be able to fight back.
Poki's hat-trick score proved too little too late as Goosen's fifth penalty rubbed salt into the home side's wounds.
The scorers:
For Highlanders:
Tries: Poki 3
Cons: Sopoaga, Slade
For Highlanders:
Tries: Pretorius 2, Ebersohn
Cons: Goosen 3
Pens: Goosen 5
Highlanders: 15 Ben Smith, 14 Kade Poki, 13 Phil Burleigh, 12 Shaun Treeby, 11 Hosea Gear, 10 Lima Sopoaga, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Jake Paringatai, 7 John Hardie, 6 Joe Wheeler, 5 Josh Bekhuis, 4 Brad Thorn, 3 Ma'afu Fia, 2 Andrew Hore (c), 1 Tony Woodcock.
Replacements: 16 Brayden Mitchell, 17 Chris King, 18 Jarrad Hoeata, 19 Tim Boys, 20 Fumiaki Tanaka, 21 Colin Slade, 22 Ma'a Nonu.

Great shoes!
