A couple of weeks ago it looked like our Atlanta Falcons were on track to make it back to the biggest event in American sports. Alas, it was not in the cards. But come Feb. 6 that won't stop us from crowding around the TV in our living rooms or jockeying for a spot at a local sports bar. On Super Bowl Sunday, even the most lackadaisical football fan will be watching, even if it is really just for the commercials. For those who want to get out of the house, here are some great spots around town to watch the game.
Tap — Midtown
The game will be shown with sound on numerous TVs throughout the Midtown gastropub, and multiple food and drink specials will be offered starting at 5 p.m. In addition to the regular menu, special dishes for the game include Macho Nachos and chili cheese fries. If you think you know how the game will play out, submit your guess of the halftime and final scores for a chance to win your bar tab on the house. Reservations are not required but are recommended, especially for larger parties.
1180 Peachtree St., Atlanta. 404-347-2220.
TJ's Sports Bar and Grill — Alpharetta
With more than 60 TVs and six HD big-screens, you won't have any trouble seeing the game at this Alpharetta sports bar. In addition to Miller Lite and Coors Light drink specials during the Super Bowl, TJ's will run giveaways throughout the game. TJ's is the official home of the Atlanta Green Bay Packers Fan Club, and they plan to celebrate in style. There will be a half-time raffle featuring Packers merchandise and Super Bowl memorabilia, with the main prize being a 13-inch bronze statue of Curly Lambeau. During the game, a DJ will play the same music played at Lambeau field. Doors open at 3 p.m.
2880 Holcomb Bridge Road, Alpharetta. 770-552-7700.
Dantanna's — Buckhead
If you want to eat something a little more upscale than wings and nachos while you watch the Super Bowl, then Dantanna's in Buckhead might be the place for you. For $50 per person, guests can reserve a seat to watch the game on the wall of projection screens and plasma TVs in the bar area and dine on a buffet fit for a king. The extravagant spread will include Allen Brothers prime rib; a raw bar with crab claws, shrimp cocktail, oysters and clams; and some unique items related to the teams playing in the game.
3400 Around Lenox Drive, Suite 304, Atlanta. 404-760-8873.
The Strand Theatre — Marietta
The Strand Theatre, a landmark on historic Marietta Square since 1935, will offer free admission to view the Super Bowl on its full-sized cinema screen. After falling into disrepair in the late 1990s, the Strand underwent more than $5 million in renovations and reopened in early 2009. The Super Bowl screening is an all-ages event and a great option for families looking to get out of the house on Feb. 6.
117 N. Park Square, Marietta. 770-293-0080.
P'cheen — Old Fourth Ward
P'cheen International Bistro & Pub in the Old Fourth Ward will have a special menu for the game, including three kinds of wings, their popular barbecue and two specialty entrees based on the cities of the competing teams. They also will feature drink specials and giveaways throughout the game. P'cheen will show the game on two flat-screen televisions and a large projection screen.
701-5 Highland Ave., Atlanta. 404-529-8800.
Tavern 99 — Buckhead
Tavern 99 plans to add to Super Bowl Sunday with its own halftime show. In between watching the game on the large projection screen, the Brian Collins Band will be playing a live set during halftime. Drink specials include mix and match 16-ounce domestic beer buckets for $15, $4 Bloody Marys and a roving pack of shooter girls slinging shot specials.
128 E. Andrews Drive, Atlanta. 404-835-8311.
Champps — Alpharetta
Boasting some of the biggest big-screens in the metro area, Champps is a great option for those around Alpharetta. There will be multiple drink and food specials, as well as prize giveaways throughout the game.
7955 North Point Parkway, Alpharetta. 770-642-1933.
Jocks and Jills — Galleria
Jocks and Jills in the Galleria Mall and Shopping Center will show the Super Bowl on more than 70 HD TVs.

I know for me wherever I am at I will be able to watch the Superbowl from my Iphone. I am an employee and subscriber of DISH and pick up the product through them for the TV Everywhere. I would highly recommend this to any consumer who is always on the go. Comcast has a similar idea that came out for the Ipad but the downside with that one is you still have to be in your home to use the product. I will be sitting at an airport when the Superbowl starts so I will be able to catch some of the game with my phone

It's the second anniversary of Morgans capture today.
"How long a whale lasts in captivity depends on the animals age at capture and his personality - also on the trainer. You have to be able to challenge them, to know how their minds work. The mark of a good trainer - to too many aquarium owners - is how many tricks you can train them to do in two months. That's not the point. It's how long you can maintain the whales sanity….
But you take juvenile orcas: they're really pretty eager for at least a year, after that, if you can keep them interested…But it's difficult because the novelty wears off. - But they're curious enough and interested enough that they wont be driven neurotic in a year. Based on the whales I worked with at Sealand and at the Vancouver Aquarium and the ones I've observed in the Californian Aquariums, They all start to get a little bit nutty after two years." - Graeme Ellis.

Flood waters wiped out golf in the Magic City two years ago...
That included the Minot Country Club.
With a location right on the Mouse, much of the course was hit hard -- so hard, the club members sold the land.
But now a new course is in the works...
Perry Olson shows us what is planned.
It was a shocking sight early from the 2011 flood...the Mouse turning to rapids almost as it crashed through the Minot Country Club...it proved devastating -- the club sold the land, and until now, has been searching for a new home. It appears they have it...and soon, a course they feel will rival the best in the state will be found here, southeast of Minot.
(Ryon Boen - MCC Board Member) "This is going to be a Jim Engh designed golf course and will be top notch. He builds some of the nicest courses in the country if not the world. He is a ND man so he is interested in doing something for Minot and ND and that is exciting." (Doug Larson - MCC Board President) "He saw three or four different sites around Minot that were potential sites for a course...and we are going with his number one rated place."
Engh is recognized as one of the best in the business...and his design should have golfers challenged...and excited...and it should start soon.
(Ryon Boen - Minot Country Club) "We are very very close to putting the course out for bid and we are going to be breaking ground hopefully early spring as soon as we can to start building the course." (Perry Olson - KX News) "It will take a few years to develop this site into the new Minot Country Club. Until then however, members will still be able to golf...at the old Minot County Club location." (Ryon Boen - Minot Country Club) "If you join now you can golf that course as if you are a member of that course. If you join MCC you can golf at the old site until September of 2014. Join now and golf and when the new course opens come back to the MCC in its new location."
Developers purchased the old site...and it should open this summer -- all 18 holes. Boen hopes that ability to golf there now will entice people to become paying members today...knowing that soon this layout will be ready for play. The site will bring a new type of golf experience to Minot -- almost a Hawktree feel, another Engh design north of Bismarck. Sure it is a few months off...but that itch to play is getting strong...
(Doug Larson - MCC Board President) "There is a lot of excitement even among some of the members who were skeptical that this can happen."
It appears that it is happening...and the first tee ball could go off late next summer...or early in 2015. In Minot, Perry Olson, KX News.
The membership drive kicks into high gear a week from today -- with a Tom and Jerry party at the Sleep Inn and Suites.
There you can learn more about membership opportunities, and plans for the course and club.
For more information, visit the Minot Country Club on Facebook...or contact Stacy Norton at the number on the screen.

October 02, 2006
In 2005, median weekly earnings were highest for women and men aged 45 to 64. Among women, 45- to 54-year-olds had median weekly earnings of $644, little different than the $639 median for 55- to 64-year-olds. Among men, median weekly earnings also were about the same for those aged 45 to 54 ($853) as for those aged 55 to 64 ($855).
The difference between women's and men's earnings was much larger among middle-aged and older workers than among younger workers. For instance, among workers aged 45 to 54, women earned 75 percent as much as men. By comparison, among workers 25 to 34 years old, women earned 89 percent as much as men, and among 16- to 24-year-olds, the earnings ratio rose to 93 percent.
These data on earnings are from the Current Population Survey. Earnings data in this article are median usual weekly earnings of full-time wage and salary workers. For more information see "Highlights of Women's Earnings in 2005," BLS Report 995 (PDF 290K).

If you could meet your kid self, what would you say to him or her? Do you think he/she would be proud to meet you?
My papa always told me "Maria, everything happens for a reason. God has the perfect plan for you, just believe in yourself" and I could never fully grasp what he meant. Today, as a college student aspiring to dreams bigger than myself, I understand what he means. I understand that every small and big moment in my life that hurt me led to greater achievements. I wish I could go back and tell myself "Don't worry so much!"

Nov 1 2013: If I had the opportunity to do this, I probably wouldn,t try to change a thing. We as kids , or teenagers receive advice various times by different adults close to us. Anything that I could say to myself wouldn't really make a difference in my perspective because we only start to understand that advice when we start experiencing for ourselves what it all means. Thanks to those little moments when my father gave me advice, I realized that he was right once a mistake was made. I like my experiences, ifeel it made me stronger, and able to react to more serious things.

A Look Into Lou Simpson's Investments (Last Part)
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Lou Simpson had a very successful investing career. During his tenure as an investment manager for GEICO Insurance, he had consistently delivered a 20% annual return in more than 30 years. In the two previous articles, I have talked about his four biggest positions, including Berkshire Hathaway, Fiserv, TE Connectivity, and Lowe's Companies. In this article, I will continue with two other companies that also represented a large portion of his concentrated portfolio. One is a banking giant and another is a digital TV entertainment provider. Those two positions combined accounted for 15% of his portfolio.
A Long-Term Holding in This Bank Giant
The only bank position in his portfolio is also the most favorite bank of his previous well-known boss, Warren Buffett. That bank is Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC). As of September 2012, he owned nearly 2.8 million shares of the bank, with the value of more than $96 million, accounting for 8.2% of his total portfolio. In the recent quarter, Wells Fargo has announced below target revenue and net interest margin. However, its net interest margin was 3.66% for the previous quarter, much higher than that of its peers. Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) had only 2.21% net interest margin and JP Morgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) closed the quarter with only 2.43%. Wells Fargo has been one of the top holdings of Warren Buffett as well. It was the second biggest position with more than 422.5 million shares as of September 2012.
On Jan 15, Wells Fargo will announce its next quarterly earnings. Last year, the company earned around 73 cents per share, and analysts are expecting the result of 87 cents EPS for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Compared to the other two peers, Wells Fargo seems to be the most expensive in terms of P/B valuation. Its P/B is 1.3x whereas the P/B of Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase are 0.6x and 0.9x respectively. Warren Buffett has mentioned that the banking business was the tricky one, with 20 to 1 asset to equity ratio. Thus, several dumb loan decisions might wipe out the equity completely. That is why management was critical in driving the performance of the bank. Buffett has shown his big confidence in Wells Fargo with his outsized position.
And a Global Leaading Digital Entertainment
The digital TV entertainment company is DIRECTV (NASDAQ: DTV). As of September 2012, Lou Simpson held more than 1.73 million shares of this company, with the total value of nearly $90.8 million, accounting for 7.8% of his total portfolio at that time. It was also the 8th biggest position in Warren Buffett's portfolio, with more than 29.5 million shares, accounting for around 2.1%. DIRECTV has been a cash cow business, along with the company's effort to consistently buying back shares in the stock market. The total shares outstanding have been reduced from 1.2 billion in 2002 to only 612 million currently. Interestingly, DIRECTV has used $24 billion in share repurchases in just 6 years. Compared to DISH Network (NASDAQ: DISH), DIRECTV had a much higher ARPU with lower churn rate. The ARPU of DIRECTV was $93.27, with a 1.56% churn rate, whereas the ARPU of DISH was only $76.93, with a 1.65% churn rate in 2011. At the current price, DIRECTV is valued at 12.4x trailing P/E, whereas the market is valuing DISH at a much higher valuation, of 22.2x P/E.
Foolish Bottom Line
With the superb operating performances, these two companies are decent for investors to hold over a very long period of time. I strongly prefer DIRECTV due to its much better operating performance than its peers, potential growth in emerging markets and cheap valuation.

Rate Dr. Dayana N. Coffler
Dr. Dayana N. Coffler's Ratings
Dr. Coffler treated me also. She is very good. Her father was a Gynecologist in Haifa and her sister is a Dentist too. She is named after Moshe Dayan the Israeli general behind the six-day war victory. Dayana is a true commander herself; she has 4 kids and a husband to take care of! Wonder woman.
Submitted Aug. 12, 2013 | flag
I'm new to the area and had to find a new dentist fast because of a chipped tooth, which became infected and turned out to need a root canal. I am so lucky to have someone recommend Dr. Coffler. She is as compassionate as she is skilled. She was so careful to be sure the tooth really needed the root canal before proceeding. I'd never had anyone have so many methods to check and double check the health of a tooth. I'm so excited about her, I'm writing this before the numbness has worn off. I highly recommend her to young and old alike. My adult daughter is going to her next week!!
Submitted March 18, 2011 | flag
Dr. Coffler is truly the most amazing Dentist I have ever had. She is obviously passionate about her work, but also 100% caring to her patients and staff. I have noticed after every check-up or cleaning that my teeth are as white as if I had whitened them. She is extremely meticulous and as thorough as you can get! I even had braces and my teeth looked great. Everytime I call to office, she is always available...even afterhours. You can tell how much effort she puts into her practice and being the most helpful and having the best service a patient could get.

During the 2011-2012 academic year, the Center for Multicultural Education and Diversity will provide awards of up to $250 for projects, workshops and activities that infuse diversity, global issues and different perspectives in curriculum and extra-curricular activities. (Projects of superior merit that are directly related to diversity in the curriculum may be funded for up to $500 with sufficient justification.) Awards are contingent on available funds and approval by the Director of Multicultural Education and Diversity.
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more
effective leader. My capstone class gave insight on how to combine all
the education learned to operate a business. That's when I realized how
much I had sharpened my knowledge.

I have never experienced this before in my life. I can see some light and color, but just in blurs, and objects don't really have a color, just light sources...I went outside. I looked at the sky. I heard colors such as "Horizon," "Outer Space," and many shades of blue and gray. I used color queues to find my pumpkin plants, by looking for the green among the brown and stone. I spent ten minutes looking at my pumpkin plants, with their leaves of green and lemon-ginger. I then roamed my yard, and saw a blue flower. I then found the brown shed, and returned to the gray house.

Gay Marriage at the Ground Zero Mosque

Post a comment
Will they celebrate Gay Marriage at the Ground Zero Mosque?
I'm getting the issues confused.
But if New Yorkers can tolerate a mosque at Ground Zero, shouldn't it be a highly tolerant mosque?
Back to gay marriage. I've thought about it for about ten years, and I've decided it's a good thing. It really bothered me that judges were interfering with my own thinking on this question, because it is not a matter for the courts to decide.
Marriage is customary, legal, and moral. They all go together and the nature of marriage ought to be determined by the legislature, and failing that, by referendum.
The courts are the very worst place to decide questions like this, and that judge in California is doing no one a favor by ruling in favor of gay marriage -- or against it. He is a usurper against my own voice and I resent it.
It would be much better if people are persuaded, as they can be. Proponents of gay marriage have full access to the political process and can take their case to the people. I expect they will win if they take that course.
But if they keep going to court, the question will remain unsettled for decades. Keep the lawyers out of this, please.
Going to court is always the very, very last option in any dispute.
The Mosque. I was married to a Moslem woman for seven years. She was from Africa. Her ancestral village was in the mountains of Malawi. We visited this village shortly after we were married in 1997. Chembe village it was called, with a small mud brick mosque in the village square, and an ancient bearded imam in a blue robe.
The imam had several tattered copies of the Koran. He sang the call to prayers each morning before dawn -- no loudspeaker and no electricity in this village -- only the haunting call to prayer.
Five or six men would come to the mosque in response to the imam's call.
There were no dogs in Chembe village I liked that, because there was no barking in the night and it was quiet.
There was no alcohol -- not exactly, more of a low key kind of thing. In the evening the women gathered in the cooking hut down the hill. The village chief would invite me to join him at his place where we sat in chairs -- probably the only two chairs in the village.
He would bring out a bottle of rum and we had a drink together. It was fine. We treated each other as equals. I was proud of my life and my American heritage and education. He was proud of his village. I was married into his family and was welcomed in that way.
After some conversation, we would go to the women's cooking hut -- they had a fire going and it was warm in there, and we sat around the fire on mats and talked.
That's really all I know about Islam from personal experience. I think the villagers took their religion very lightly, and I wish we were all like that.
Having said that, the Ground Zero Mosque -- actually I don't know what to think. Legally it's a slam dunk -- they can build it wherever zoning ordinances permit a house of worship.
Otherwise, it's entirely up to the people of Manhattan, who are not likely to notice it amid the roar of commerce and culture
But if they do build it, this mosque should be the center of a mission to Islamic countries, which often forbid the construction or even the repair of churches and synagogues in their lands.
If the mosque is built, it should be a shining example and we should seek reciprocal treatment in Moslem countries. "Allow the free interchange of ideas, welcome our preachers as we welcome yours. Respectful argument is a good thing. We can challenge each other."
I was married to the African woman for seven years, but other than going to Chembe village to visit the graves of her ancestors, we had no more exposure to Islam. She claimed it as an identity, but only that. She had no knowledge or practice of Islam, but was more familiar with Christianity and indigenous spiritual practices -- in the way that Africa people can mix these things all together.
I have learned and thought about Islam since then -- from reading books and newspapers, from knowing about the attacks of September 11, 2001, and our military invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, and reading about the endlessly complicated disputes between Palestinians and Israelis -- but I will not let those images intrude on what I actually experienced first hand -- I think I will cherish and remember the evenings with Chief Chembe in his village, a man just like me, except he had two wives.
So we end. And we realize that the Mosque and the question of Marriage are actually related.
And there is a lot to talk about -- if we can keep it out of court.

July 12, 2012: Chicco Polly High Chairs Recalled
About 485,690 high chairs have been recalled due to laceration hazards.
What's the Deal?
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in cooperation with Artsana USA Inc., of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, have recalled about 485,690 (about 455,000 in the US and 30,690 in Canada) Chicco Polly high chairs. Children can fall on or against the pegs on the rear legs of the high chair, resulting in a bruising or laceration injury.
The firm is aware of 21 reports of incidents in which a child fell against the peg and received injuries, including four laceration injuries requiring medical closure (stitches, tape, or glue) and one scratched cornea.
Do You Own It?
This recall involves a range of Chicco Polly high chairs with pegs on the back legs intended for tray storage. The high chairs have a folding metal frame for storage and a reclining seat. The recalled high chairs can be identified by the model number and date code printed on a label on the underside of the seat, close to the footrest. The date code is in the format DDMMYYYY or YYYY-MM-DD. High chairs included in this recall were manufactured prior to October 13, 2010 and have one of the following model numbers on the label:
Model Numbers

05063803020070 06063803970070
05063803220070 07063803780070
The high chairs sold at retail stores including Babies R Us, Burlington Coat Factory, Buy Buy Baby, Shopko, and Toys R Us, as well as online outlets including Albeebaby.com, Amazon.com, Babyage.com, Babysupermart.com, Diapers.com, and Target.com from January 2005 through July 2012 for between $100 and $150.
What Should You Do?
Consumers should contact Chicco for a free peg cover kit which will be mailed to them. To help prevent injuries before repair, consumers should store the tray on the pegs when the high chair is not in use. For additional information, contact Chicco toll-free at (800) 807-8817 between 8 AM through 5 PM EST, Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.chiccousa.com/pollykit.

E-Learning Council Mission Statement
Tim suggested that we start threads to get input on defining various facets of the E-Learning Council. Please add your thoughts on what the Mission of the E-Learning Council should be.
- Forums:
My two bits...
Since the latest Executive Council doesn't include a formal mission statement, I'm adding my thoughts to this thread.
My personal hope for the mission is for the eLearning Council to
- Be a clearinghouse of information for eLearning professionals
- A resource for organizations interested in eLearning
- Bring relevant speakers and events on eLearning to Austin
- Promote eLearning as a robust and valued business tool
- Influence eLearning professionals to strive for excellence and continuous improvement in their skills and their tools
Submitted by JennBrown on Fri, 06/06/2008 - 14:08.
I see the council as an overarching entity that creates bridges and connections between the public and private sectors in Central Texas. An e-learning "village" offering information, resources, guidance, and support in developing and managing e-learning projects. It's a dynamic community that taps the talents of e-gurus in our midst and supports folks new to the field. A grand experiment using Web 2.0 tools that harness the collective talents and brainpower of the local e-learning community. Here's to our success!
Submitted by MarthaJ on Thu, 05/22/2008 - 15:52.
input on mission statement
I think the mission statement should capture the two broad areas we have discussed... 1) offering strategic guidance and leadership for developing eLearning materials (i.e., getting started, management support, choosing the best software or LMS, budgeting, etc) and 2) providing technical and educational resources (i.e., links to user groups, IT support, websites, books, trainings).
Thanks for the chance to give input. - Justin

Mission Statement
IMHO: - should include 'providing leadership, guidance, resources, etc. for those who create, develop, and edit E-learning materials. (Feel free to fold, spindle, mutilate, especially if you remember that mantra.)
Submitted by misulliv on Fri, 05/23/2008 - 16:05.
Am curious mostly about IMHO. Here's hazarding some guesses:
I Must Hoard Oranges? In My Humble Opinion? International Multimodal Horse Occupations? It's My Hairy Octagon?
IMHO, the fewer initialisms the better. Here's but one instance when less (fewer letters) does not mean more. Thanks.

Duodenal switch
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2008)
|Duodenal switch
|43.89, 45.51 45.91[1]
The duodenal switch (DS) procedure, also known as biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) or gastric reduction duodenal switch (GRDS), is a weight loss surgery procedure that is composed of a restrictive and a malabsorptive aspect.
The restrictive portion of the surgery involves removing approximately 70% of the stomach along the greater curvature.
The malabsorptive portion of the surgery reroutes a lengthy portion of the small intestine, creating two separate pathways and one common channel. The shorter of the two pathways, the digestive loop, takes food from the stomach to the common channel. The much longer pathway, the biliopancreatic loop, carries bile from the liver to the common channel.
The common channel is the portion of small intestine, usually 75-150 centimeters long, in which the contents of the digestive path mix with the bile from the biliopancreatic loop before emptying into the large intestine. The objective of this arrangement is to reduce the amount of time the body has to capture calories from food in the small intestine and to selectively limit the absorption of fat. As a result, following surgery, these patients only absorb approximately 20% of the fat they intake.
Comparison to other surgeries[edit]
The primary advantage of duodenal switch (DS) surgery is that its combination of moderate intake restriction with substantial calorie malabsorption results in a higher percentage of excess weight loss versus a purely restrictive gastric bypass for super-obese individuals, with a lower risk of significant weight regain versus a purely restrictive gastric bypass procedure.[2]
Type 2 diabetics have had a 98% "cure"[3] (i.e. became euglycemic) almost immediately following surgery which is due to the metabolic effect from the intestine switch. The results are so favorable that some surgeons in Europe are performing the "switch" or intestinal surgery on non-obese patients for the benefits of curing the diabetes.Novel operations are geared toward the treatment of diabetes and not necessarily to induce weight loss. Among the most prominent of these operations are the duodenal-jejunal bypass and ileal transposition where duodenal switch is a part of the operation.[4]
The following observations were reported on the resolution of obesity related comorbidities following the duodenal switch: type 2 diabetes 99%, hyperlipidemia 99%, sleep apnea 92%, and hypertension 83%.[5]
Because the pyloric valve between the stomach and small intestine is preserved, people who have undergone the DS do not experience the dumping syndrome common with people who've undergone the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RNY). Much of the production of the hunger hormone, ghrelin, is removed with the greater curvature of the stomach.
Diet following the DS is more normal and better tolerated than with other surgeries.[6]
The malabsorptive component of the DS is fully reversible as no small intestine is actually removed, only re-routed.
The malabsorptive element of the DS requires that those who undergo the procedure take vitamin and mineral supplements above and beyond that of the normal population, as do patients having the RNY surgery. Commonly prescribed supplements include a daily multivitamin, calcium citrate, and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.[7]
Because gallstones are a common complication of rapid weight loss following any type of weight loss surgery, some surgeons may remove the gall bladder as a preventative measure during the DS or the RNY. Others prefer to prescribe medication to reduce the risk of post-operative gallstones.
Like RNY patients, DS patients require lifelong and extensive blood tests to check for deficiencies in life critical vitamins and minerals. Without proper follow up tests and lifetime supplementation RNY and DS patients can become ill. This follow-up care is non-optional and must continue for as long as the patient lives.
DS patients also have a higher occurrence of smelly flatus and diarrhea, although both can usually be mitigated through diet, including avoiding simple carbohydrates.
The restrictive portion of the DS is not reversible, since part of the stomach is removed. However, the stomach in all DS patients does expand over time, and while it will never reach the same size as the natural stomach in most patients, some stretching does occur.
All surgical procedures involve a degree of risk however this must be balanced against the significant risks associated with severe obesity.
Some of the surgical risks or complications for this procedure are: perforation involving small bowel, duodenum, or stomach causing a leak, infection, abscess, deep vein thrombosis (blood clot), and pulmonary emboli (blood clot traveling to the lungs).
Longer term risks include the possibility of vitamin and mineral deficiency, hernia and bowel obstruction. There is little information as to the longer-term risks (greater than 15 year), as this procedure was very rarely performed prior to the year 2000.
Malnutrition is an uncommon and preventable risk after duodenal switch.[8]
The National Institutes of Health state that for patients who meet the following guidelines,[9] weight loss surgery may be an appropriate measure for permanent weight loss:
- BMI of 40 or over
- BMI of 35 or over with obesity-related illnesses such as:
- An understanding of the operation and lifestyle changes necessary following the surgery.

Without music, life would be a mistake...
Kings of Convenience - Mrs. Cold
When I think of summer I picture myself on a beach with some fruity drink listening to relaxing music. This is the song I picture in my head on a sunny day laying in the sand. Released in 2009, Declaration of Dependence is Kings of Convenience's fourth album of pure bliss. The pair's voices are still comforting, delightful, and inviting.
"Mrs. Cold" is the lead single from the record which is available to stream above and you can purchase Declaration of Dependence here.

South Africans resigned to fate of ailing Mandela
South Africans appeared resigned Monday to the inevitability of saying goodbye to former President Nelson Mandela after the hospitalized 94-year-old anti-apartheid leader's condition deteriorated to critical.
Madiba, as he is affectionately known, is revered among most of South Africa's 53 million people as the architect of the 1994 transition to multiracial democracy after three centuries of white domination.
However, his latest hospitalization — his fourth in six months — has reinforced a realization that the father of the post-apartheid "Rainbow Nation" will not be around for ever.
President Jacob Zuma told a news conference he and African National Congress Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa had visited Mandela late on Sunday night.
Zuma declined to give specific details about his medical condition other than to say he remained critical.
"Given the hour, he was already asleep. We saw him, looked at him and then we had a bit of a discussion with the doctors and his wife," Zuma said. "I don't think I'm a position to give further details. I'm not a doctor."
President Barack Obama is due to visit South Africa this week as part of a three-country Africa tour, but Zuma said Mandela's deterioration should not affect the trip.
"Nothing is going to stop the visit because Madiba is sick," Zuma said.
'We will miss him'
Mandela's deterioration last weekend, two weeks after being admitted in serious but stable condition with a lung infection, has caused a perceptible switch in mood from prayers for recovery to preparations for a fond farewell.
"If it's his time to go, he can go. I wish God can look after him," said nurse Petunia Mafuyeka, as she headed to work in Johannesburg. "We will miss him very much. He fought for us to give us freedom. We will remember him every day. When he goes I will cry."
There was some concern among the public about doctors trying to prolong the life of South Africa's first black president, one of the 20th century's most influential figures.
"I'm worried that they're keeping him alive. I feel they should let him go," said Doris Lekalakala, a claims manager. "The man is old. Let nature take its course. He must just rest."
Since stepping down in 1999 after one term as president, Mandela has stayed out of active politics in a country with the continent's biggest and most important economy. His passing is expected to have little political impact.
His last public appearance was waving to fans from the back of a golf cart before the final of the soccer World Cup in Johannesburg's Soccer City stadium in July 2010.
During his retirement, he has divided his time between his home in the wealthy Johannesburg suburb of Houghton, and Qunu, the village in the poor Eastern Cape province where he was born.
The public's last glimpse of him was a brief clip aired by state television in April during a visit to his home by Zuma and other senior officials of the ruling African National Congress.
At the time, the 101-year-old liberation movement, which led the fight against white-minority rule, assured the public Mandela was "in good shape," although the footage showed a thin and frail old man sitting expressionless in an armchair.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Information and Resources
Does Your Medication's Label Lead to Information Overload?
May 27, 2011 -- If you flip through a consumer magazine and come across a prescription drug ad or even glance at a medication package insert, you will likely find a long list of potential side effects, many of which may be frightening.
Some doctors contend that this is information overload and may have a chilling effect on some people who could benefit from certain prescription medications.
A new study in Archives of Internal Medicine puts a number on it. The average prescription drug label lists 70 potential side effects, and many of the more commonly prescribed medications list around 100-such risks. One medication in the study lists 525 potential side effects.
"It has gotten out of control," says Jon Duke, MD, an assistant professor of medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis and a researcher at the Regenstrief Institute. "These are 20,000- to 30,000-word massive documents."
Warnings on Drug Labels
In 2006, the FDA set rules to make drug labels easier to read and understand and reduce "overwarning" on drug labels, but this may have had the opposite effect.
In the new study, researchers analyzed 5,600 drug labels comprising 500,000 side effects. Antidepressants and antiviral drugs tended to have the longest list of potential side effects, as did some newer medications for restless leg syndrome and Parkinson's disease. Medications prescribed by psychiatrists and neurologists had the most complicated labels, and drugs used by dermatologists and ophthalmologists were the least complicated.
"We put a number on it so we can begin to make a real case to FDA, drugmakers, and other stakeholders to address this head on," Duke says.
He and his colleagues are developing software to help filter, prioritize, and personalize relevant drug safety information. He says he envisions "a dynamic label that uses electronic medical records to pull in the information that is most relevant."
Unless and until such changes are made, "the key thing is to ask your doctor about side effects because doctors are pretty good filters," Duke says. "There are some things that most people will never, ever get yet patients are often afraid to take the medicines because of how scary the labels are."
Check With Your Doctor or Pharmacist
Drug companies are now required to do post-marketing studies of their drugs after they are approved, says Olveen Carrasquillo, MD, an associate professor and chief of general internal medicine at the University of Miami in Florida.
As a result, a lot more information is being reported about medications' potential side effects.
Previously, these regulations were too lax and certain highly-prescribed drugs were found to cause serious side effects after approval, but the pendulum may have swung too far in the other direction, Carrasquillo says.
"I get patients who will call me and say, 'This drug can cause 100 things. Why did you prescribe that to me?'" Carrasquillo says. "I explain that the companies are required to report this information, and I discuss the major side effects that they have to worry about."

I love my new pillow. I have had multiple tempur-pedic products before and have loved them all. But this pillow definitely takes the cake. I have neck and shoulder issues AND am a side-sleeper. The elevation of the pillow and the cutout for your shoulder are brilliant. Buy one before they are discontinued.

Month of Memories: Chicago Veganmania 2012
The three of us took a trip to Chicago last Fall, where we scouted a few locations for potential future events and timed it so we could attend Veganmania.
Chicago Veganmania was the place where we met Black Metal Chef AND Miyoko Schinner, so based on those two facts alone it was pretty great. We also saw some of our favorite Chicago faves: The Snarky Vegan, Kelly Peloza and Dan & Nicole from Uptons. There was a pretty good Portland showing too, with Herbivore and Food Fight representing Portland's OG vegan mini-mall.
The organizers of Veganmania put together a great event for Chicago–and beyond–vegans and veg-curious, and we loved taking it all in. It's wonderful that there's so much support of one another in the vegan community, and the three of were grateful for the opportunity to support the hard work and great show that was Veganmania 2012.

I read this article fully on the topic of the comparison of hottest and earlier technologies,
it's awesome article.

Like most people in their 20's I was born with a video game controller in my hands. From Atari to PS3 I've sampled a little bit of every system along with PC games. In these coming articles I'll give you a brief overview of the games I've been playing to help you decide if it's worth your time and money.
Today I'll be reviewing League of Legends a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) style game for the PC. In the game you control a single character. You also are joined by 2-4 other players depending on the map you choose. As the game goes on you buy items, take down towers, oh and destroy the enemy team in epic fights. I never enjoyed the MOBA style format until I downloaded this crack addiction of a game. I'll go over the Pro's and Con's to help you decide if it's right for you.
Starting off with the pros, if you're sick of the grind that is WoW (World of Warcraft) and any other MMORPG then this could be perfect for you. Games range from 20 minutes to an hour, not your whole senior year of high school (like this guy with WoW). The other thing that's really cool about this MOBA compared to the others, is that you have a masteries and rune page section that can help you do extra damage, increase attack speed, improve defense…you know all that cool stuff. Without a doubt the 100% best thing about LoL (League of Legends) is that it's FREE! You can spend money in the game to earn points to unlock new characters or different skins to make them look different in the game but that is optional.
Now, for the cons…as this was my first MOBA I didn't have many issues with the game. Talking to friends that played other MOBA's like DOTA (Defense of the Ancients), or HON (Heroes of Newerth) the only thing I ever heard them complaining about was that you can't deny creeps (killing your own AI minions to deny gold from the other team). If anything that makes the game easier for newcomers to get a feel for MOBA style. Another bad thing about the game is that it is addicting. Several times I find myself saying I'll play one more game and go to bed, yeah just one more…only to look up at my clock and see it's 5 in the morning. The worst thing about this game may be the community of players. People sometimes expect you to know exactly what to do immediately and if you don't they are more than happy to give you less than friendly encouragement about the job you're doing. The solution to this is easy, the game offers a tutorial and practice games so you can adapt and be ready for the real thing.
Overall if you're looking for a new game this is worth a try. It's free so you won't be wasting your money and it's a lot of fun. If you've played MOBA style games in the past then you'll pick this up no problem. For those less experienced players, take your time and practice before going straight into the game.

Comments about Columbia Women's Super Bonehead Short:
I returned these shorts, they appear to have a longer fit from the picture. they have a 7 inch inseam, and sizing is small. order with care. if you normally wear a 10, go to a 12
