Watch: The President's message for you from BarackObama.com
You're probably hearing a lot about Obamacare's website glitches, especially from health reform's opponents.
Let's be clear about this — it's absolutely frustrating to know that while hundreds of thousands of people have filled out applications for affordable coverage online, there are many who haven't been able to because of technical problems.
That's why President Obama recorded a personal message for OFA supporters — he wants to speak directly to you on where we go from here, and why he needs your support even more over the next five months.
Watch the President's message for you — then join Team Obamacare to help make sure people know the facts about Obamacare.
President Obama recorded a quick video for OFA supporters on the first weeks of Obamacare and where we go from here. He's counting on Team Obamacare to help.
Join the team.

President Obama recorded a personal message for OFA supporters about Obamacare, the new online health insurance marketplace, and why he needs your support even more over the next five months.
The reality is that Obamacare is more than just a website — it's a law that is already helping millions of Americans get better, more affordable coverage. And anyone looking to shop for coverage can do so in person or over the phone, as well.
And in spite of everything that's happened in Washingtonover the past few weeks, one thing hasn't changed:
Obamacare is still the law of the land.
Over the next five months, it's going to be up to people like us to make sure folks know the facts about how to get covered, and how the law is already working for them and their loved ones.
Watch the President's message just for you, then join Team Obamacare:

Texas judge slams Republicans in video announcing he's now a Democrat
Judge Carlo Key
Judge Carlo Key Kicks The TeaTardedRepubliCANT Tea Party RepubliCANTS under the bus…..at the curb.
A Texas judge puts the blame squarely on Tea Party Republican rhetoric for his decision to run for re-election as a Democrat in a campaign video he released on Sunday.
"Rational Republican beliefs have given way to ideologicalcharacter assassination," Bexar County Judge Carlo Key says in the video, over shots of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and other Republican lawmakers. "Pragmatism and principle have been overtaken by pettiness and bigotry. Make no mistake, I have not left the Republican party. It left me."

ONALASKA, Wisconsin (WXOW) - With Friday's daybreak looming, some Black Friday shoppers head home to their beds.
Sgt. Tim Berg of the Onalaska Police Department made his way from patrolling the stores to patrolling the streets.
Black Friday is one of the busiest traffic days of the year by the stores in Onalaska, Berg said.
"You know there's a lot of fender benders on Black Friday in the parking lots. I couldn't give you an exact 'what day is the worst day of the year,' but I'd be willing to bet that it's elevated compared to other days," Berg said.
On weekends, during the holiday shopping season, Berg said takes several rotations of a traffic light just to get through one intersection.
"Out near the mall and the shopping out there, I think the traffic is gonna get really heavy this afternoon again," Berg said. "A lot of people were out overnight so it has died down for a bit now."
With thousands of people at the stores Friday morning, some major retailers called for extra security nationwide.
In Onalaska, police officers patrolled Target at 7 p.m. Thanksgiving night.
Best Buy called in officers before their doors opened at midnight.
The stores pay for the officers' overtime.

Born Free USA Blog
Animals Need Us To Change
A Longtime Born Free Blogger Signs Off
We who love animals often dedicate our lives to reshaping humanity's view of the animal kingdom. We fight a very difficult battle. Not only must we constantly challenge the status quo, but often we grow weary of humanity's inability to recognize animal cruelty, exploitation and suffering.
It's not uncommon for animal advocates and activists to suffer burnout. We have hearts. We feel very deeply and we're frequently condemned as "bleeding hearts," "tree-huggers," "enviro wackos" and even worse. We're cruelly admonished to "Get a life!" or called irrational and told we live in a Bambi world. In one of her works, Brigid Brophy, a famous English novelist, critic and biographer, once said, "Whenever people say, 'We mustn't be sentimental,' you can take it they were about to do something cruel. And if they add, 'We must be realistic,' they mean they are going to make money out of it." These slogans have a long history. After being used to justify slave traders, ruthless industrialists and contractors who had found that the most economically "realistic" method of cleaning a chimney was to force a small child to climb it, the slogans have been passed on. They are like an heirloom to the factory farms, which, for more palatability, are referred to by our own U. S. Department of Agriculture as CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations). Sounds so innocuous, doesn't it? Visit one and report back as to how innocuous they are.
Hunting and trapping factions constantly tell us that if we didn't hunt and trap animals, we would literally be overrun by them. A few countries defy the International Whaling Commission's ban on whaling under the guise of conducting research. Of course they're doing research! We see them with their "conducting research" signs on their giant floating slaughterhouses, attempting to hide their systematic dismembering of a once majestic sea creature, turning him into neatly packaged whale steaks.
Giant corporations that use and abuse animals justify their actions by saying it's for the "betterment" of mankind. Organizations such as the Safari Club should cause us to question what resides in the hearts of those who proudly proclaim it an honor to be part of an inner circle that demands (and rewards!) the callous killing of majestic elephants, big cats, bears and rare and beautiful species of antelope, etc.
Nations that enjoy prestigious trading privileges treat animals as nothing but commodities. China in particular has a very poor record regarding human rights. It is the world's largest producer of furs and fur-trimmed garments. It cages tigers and bears to satisfy the horrible tiger bone and bear bile markets. China's treatment of animals is so horrid that one cannot dwell on the subject for very long — it is that disturbing. Yet, our nation seemingly pays little attention to this as we exchange goods and services. Where is our humanity, our courage to challenge China's leaders to end their hideous cruelty and oppression of human rights?
Wild creatures all over our planet are teetering on the brink of disappearing forever. They are hunted mercilessly for their body parts to be used in Oriental medicine or to be flaunted as "fashion" because of their rare and beautiful skins or feathers. But it doesn't stop there. We covet the very idea of "owning" them — our egos massaged to where we derive our own self-worth from owning a rare and dangerous animal. "Hey, ain't my tiger a bad mutha," quips a hip-hop star. We cage birds. It is one of the most nonsensical acts that man can carry out. We deny these unique creatures their most vital natural behavior: flight! Would we also muzzle the songbird? It makes absolutely no sense, and if we allow it, it would drive us clear out of our minds.
We choose to be strong. We choose the path of patience and perseverance. We work to educate, to find that crucial nerve that causes one to want and react to bring about change. It doesn't happen quickly. One thing we've learned quickly is that we don't change quickly. But we simply can't remain static or resistant any longer. If we don't embrace changing attitudes and ideals, we will be left behind.
We should look at all animals — wild creatures in particular — with a sense of wonderment and reverence, knowing in our hearts that they desire the same things we desire: to live without fear and domination, and be allowed to be and do all that creation evolved them to do.
Pretty simple. Why does man make it so complicated?
The staff members of Born Free USA are people just like you. We see so many wrongs and want to "right" them. We care passionately about wildlife and work very hard to educate people and help as many individual animals as possible. We don't do this work because we find it fascinating. It's a hard job. It eats at your very soul at times, but when you know in your heart that what you're doing is right, you just persevere. I love Winston Churchill's inspiring words he gave to a graduating class at Oxford University. He stood at the podium and said, "Never give up. Never give up. Never, never, never give up!"
And we won't!
It's been great to be a part of Born Free USA. I now bid you all … Farewell!

Ricki Lake & Derek Hough Hoping To Stay On 'Dancing With The Stars'
Ricki Lake fell from the top of the leaderboard on Monday night's "Dancing with the Stars" all the way into fourth place, but the actress knew the low scores were coming.
"I'm going to take it," Ricki told Access Hollywood on Monday, of her fourth place finish with professional dance partner, Derek Hough. "I think I put a lot of pressure [on myself following] last week. I keep wanting to get better, and it's hard to improve on what we did last week. I got a little nervous, and my Roger Rabbit? I blew it. Hopefully we'll come back next week and prove ourselves again."
The judges criticized Ricki and Derek's Roger Rabbit moves, which they said didn't fit and was off the beat. Derek, however, stands by putting the steps in their Monday night routine.
"I felt like it was '80s week," he told Access. "I thought, 'If we're going to do '80s, we have to put some 80's moves in there.' Let's commit, people."
If the pair makes it through to Week 6, they plan to speed things up.
"We're doing quickstep if we make it next week," Derek said of their planned Broadway Week dance. "We'll see how it goes."

Blueliner Geraldine Heaney inducted into Hockey Hall of Fame
Toronto, ON, Canada (4E Sports) – Long-time women's hockey blueliner Geraldine Heaney will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame's Class of 2013 together with four men on Nov. 11 in Toronto.
Heaney will be inducted together with NHL players Chris Chelios, Brendan Shanahan and Scott Niedermayer and NHL coach and general manager Fred Shero.
She is the third woman elected into the Hockey Hall of Fame, joining Cammi Granato and Angela James, who were part of the Class of 2010.
Heaney won the gold medal with Canada at the World Women's Championship seven times in 1990, 1992, 1994, 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2001. She also won gold at the 2002 Olympics and silver at the 1998 Games.
Heaney, Granato and James were inducted into the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame in 2008.
"Going down to the Hall of Fame, you never saw females in there so you really didn't think, 'Could this ever happen?'" Heaney said.
"I'm so glad that it has, and I think that's what has helped with continuing the growth of girls' hockey. The number of girls playing now is unbelievable," she added.
Niedermayer, Chelios, Shanahan and Heaney were voted as members of the Player Category. Shero, the two-time Stanley Cup-winning coach of the Philadelphia Flyers, goes in posthumously as a member of the Builder Category.
The voting was conducted by the Hall's 18-member selection committee, which met in private Tuesday morning to select the Class of 2013.
Niedermayer and Chelios were in their first year of eligibility following their retirement after the 2009-10 season.
Shanahan was in his second year of eligibility after being passed over last year, when Joe Sakic, Mats Sundin, Adam Oates and Pavel Bure were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

A woman makes her way through an empty city. At every crossing she stops. Should she wait or should she run? Should she wait or take the risk on her own?
The city is Sarajevo, and the route the woman takes became known as Sniper Alley during the siege of the city endured by its citizens for 1395 days between 1992 and 1996. The woman, played by Spanish actress Maribel Verdu, is reliving the experience of the trauma of the siege. It is her individual journey through the collective memory of the city.
1395 Days without Red was conceived, developed and filmed as a collaborative film project by Šejla Kamerić and Anri Sala. The project has given life to two different films, which were both shown at the Whitworth Art Gallery. Click here for more.
Running alongside the world premiere of 1395 Days without Red was Projections: Works from The Artangel Collection.
Featuring ground-breaking film and video installations from two decades of Artangel commissions, Projections includes High Wire, Catherine Yass's multi-screen installation of a vertiginous walk in the sky, Seven Walks by Francis Alÿs and Atom Egoyan's Steenbeckett, based on the moving monologue from Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape.

Stadel Museum opens exhibition of new acquisitions for the collection of graphic arts
Installation view of the exhibition. Photo: Norbert Miguletz.
A museums collection lives and thrives on the basis of carefully chosen acquisitions and donations that permanently augment the existing holdings and enhance the collections quality. With its exhibition Give me five! which will run from March 6 through June 23, 2013, Frankfurts
Städel Museum
is offering an impressive survey of some 100 major new additions to the Graphische Sammlung (Prints Collection) made in recent years. The works brought together in the Graphische Sammlung includes artists ranging from Adam Elsheimer through Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo to Louis Soutter, from Max Beckmann through Alfred Hrdlicka and Jim Dine to David Hockney, Anish Kapoor and Antony Gormley. The Städel Museums Graphische Sammlung comprises a total of more than 100,000 works of art in the form of drawings and prints, pieces dating from as long ago as the Middle Ages or as recent as the present. Many of the Collections patrons have made generous donations and endowments to this exciting miscellany and the growth it has seen is truly gratifying. These fragile works of art on paper are presented to visitors in changing exhibitions in ever new combinations.
Every successful acquisition gives us a very special reason to be glad! The upbeat note of a gesture such as Give me five! is thus the ideal motto for this exhibition, exclaims Dr. Jutta Schütt, who is both the curator of the exhibition and the person in charge of the Graphische Sammlung, which houses prints and drawings from 1750 onwards.
Graphische Sammlungs current exhibition is an expressive demonstration of the lively nature of our museums activities, emphasizes Städel Director Max Hollein. Thanks to the Städel Museum Association and with the assistance of both public and private endowments, as well as gifts from private individuals, artists and dealers, over the past seven years, we have been able to realize a large number of our wishes and acquire numerous new pieces. Many of the latter now form part of the exhibition, Hollein continues.
For this temporary presentation, a selection of considerably more than 100 positions was made from those works on paper that have either been purchased or donated. Although the exhibits chosen are especially diverse, they are not simply strung together but instead on display are interesting groups and arrangements of works that bear affinities and follow on from one another.
To begin with, there are examples of recently acquired material teamed up with the existing items in the Collection. For instance, Goyas mysterious pictorial world is confronted with that shown in a silkscreen by Hans Schabus, and the intaglios produced in 2008 by Mark Quinn with their intense colorfulness and artificial compositions are to be found next to a Dutch still life that is 300 years older. Without the need for words and drawing on the special qualities of the Collection, this juxtaposition can spawn thoughts that cut across the different epochs.
One of the exhibitions focuses is on recent acquisitions in US graphic prints: silkscreens by Jackson Pollock, a lithograph by Robert Longo, a mezzotint engraving, Starfield, by Vija Celmins, large-format prints by Robert Motherwell, Frank Stella and John Baldessari. For decades now, donations from a foundation have allowed us to consistently expand this area of our collection. Accordingly, we have also been able to purchase a complete series of Sol Le Witts Distorted Cubes, five linocuts printed in a masterly fashion, on show here alongside examples of completely different approaches to the same printing technique: Philipp Hennevogls powerful Gerüst, O. W. Himmels Plattenlabels, Wolfgang Mattheuers Jahrhundertschritt alongside his printing plate and a test print of the status of a so-called lost woodblock abducted from the linocutters studio a rare combination which takes on particular significance as a means of explaining and demonstrating in the museum context.
The collections scope in the field of newly acquired graphic reproductions ranges from the Varie Figure Gobbi by Jacques Callot and Rembrandts Sleeping Dog to the expanses of color created by Anish Kapoor, from woodcuts to silkscreens, it shows the photograph and its inclusion in works of graphic reproduction as well as innovative technical combinations. An example of a work something between printing and drawing is the Empire Theatre, dating from 2010, by British artist James Brooks, produced using a needle.
The exhibitions recently acquired drawings cover a period from the 16th right up into the 21st century. Pen drawings by Adam Elsheimer and Camille Corot, crayon drawings by Claude Lorrain and by Rudolf Schlichter, works by Henri Michaux and Antony Gormley with their watercolor brushstrokes, the small drawings in a late work group, Leitern by Karl Bohrmann and the superb Pulcinella drawing by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, unrivaled in German museums. A drawing acquired back in 1939, Das Innere einer Scheune by Adolf Menzel, was restituted by the City of Frankfurt in 2011 and then repurchased to ensure that visitors to the Städel Museum could continue to enjoy it.
The critical stance adopted in the 1960s and 1970s can be seen in drawings by the Berlin-based realist Peter Sorge, as well as in the disturbing self-portraits by Eugen Schönebeck and Jürgen Klauke. There are other portraits by Max Beckmann and Johannes Grützke to be discovered, although it has to be said that there has been an inventory of graphic reproductions of global repute by the former at the Städel since the 1950s, whereas until now no work by the latter has graced the collection. The Städel Museum collection, that stretches from the Middle Ages right up to the present day, has been growing since it was first established in the early 19th century. Every new acquisition takes into account the museums collecting profile which is expanded and continued to include contemporary works. Because of the delicate nature of both drawings and prints, be they old or new, they are only ever exhibited on a temporary basis in all museum collections. For conservation purposes, they are stored in their own department, the Graphische Sammlung, researched into and communicated. The collections inventory remains directly accessible to visitors to the museum, firstly, in the form of exhibitions on varying themes and secondly through the Studiensaal a hall where all visitors have the opportunity to personally access every one of the some 100,000 drawings and graphic reproductions during regular opening hours (Wednesdays, Fridays 2 p.m. through 5 p.m., Thursdays 2 p.m. through 7 p.m.).
The last show featuring recently acquired drawings and graphic reproductions at the Städel took place in 2005 and was entitled Wahlverwandtschaften. Neu in der Graphischen Sammlung (Elective affinities. New acquisitions at Graphische Sammlung).

Are you wondering what the appointment of Mark Carney as the next Bank of England Governor means for the UK economy and markets? If so, check out my latest column for Equities.com.
In short, Carney seems well qualified, and his appointment was a pleasant surprise. But I recommend tempering expectations, as he'll have his work cut out for him.

Sorry Gwyneth, You Ain't No Womo
April 14th, 2011, posted by Aimee
There are few things this working mom hates more than hearing a gorgeous, gazillionaire celebrity claim she's "just like any other working mom out there, struggling to fit it all in … " Actually, hate might even be too mild a word for the emotions that boil up and make me want to scream at the TV when I see someone like good old "one of us gals" Gwyneth Paltrow on "Access Hollywood" tonight comparing herself to all of us dumb clucks who follow her stupid web site and now will even pick up her damn "cookbook" (making her even more rich) full of recipes I sincerely believe her size zero body has never ingested.
Uh, right. No, sorry, Gwynnie, you're simply not a part of the Womo club – nor does your life resemble anything at all similar to any of the stay at home moms I know either. Let's count the ways. Real working moms – no matter how well compensated – don't have the luxury to pick and choose projects and possibly even take months or years off at a time. The vast majority of working moms actually have to drag their asses out of bed everyday and shlep into an office for long stretches of time away from their kids (no nannies tending kiddos in an adjacent trailer). Their hours are so long that even if they had resources to hire a world-famous trainer to pound their bodies into the perfectly sculpted shape, there's no way they could find the time to fit it in. Few if any of us can even conceive of having a personal assistant to pick up our tampons and fill the pill prescription at Walgreens, plus the personal chef to take care of preparing healthy, delicious meals each evening for dinner. Sure, she cooks – but I bet it's once a week "for fun" after a chef buys and preps all the ingredients ahead of time.
And the nannies. Let's face it: even those of us who constantly bitch about wanting to spend more time with our kids can admit to dreaming about having a team of live-in assistants to watch them while we get a mani/pedi, take a jog or simply get in the occasional solid afternoon of shopping and gossip with a girlfriend without having to plan (and budget) a sitter weeks in advance. With all that help – and the luxury of long stretches of no work at all – it's pretty easy to see how "fun" it would be to cook up gourmet meals for the family.
Do I sound bitter and envious? Definitely. And I admit to being slight irrational in my negative, visceral reaction to Ms. Paltrow in particular – who didn't find detest her after throwing Brad Pitt overboard in the '90s, after all? But the main thing is that I think real Womos – and SAHMS too, for that matter – deserve the real credit for the real, hard work we do put in everyday, without all the help. Whether you're dealing with stressful clients and whiny coworkers, or trying to entertain and discipline high-energy preschoolers all day, neither of us has much if any time just for ourselves. And yet, we get through it and keep smiling (most of the time). We real moms rock, and our club does not allow any of the Hollywood set in. So there, Gwyneth.

I was catching up on my reading from last week and noticed this gem from eMarketer. In it they shared some data from the Pew Internet & American Life Project study in February 2008 on the positive and negative attitudes of online buyers by age.
One thing jumped right out: Across the board, the percentage of those surveyed who had negative things to say about shopping online was higher among older shoppers, with one exception. Can you guess?
"Online shopping is still too complicated." Unbelievable, huh? But it's a sentiment evidently shared by 18 year olds and 65+ year olds equally.
To me, this just shows the opportunity that still exists in the e-commerce space. The burden is really up to us as marketers to understand who our visitors are and what they what to see in order to be comfortable purchasing. It's a challenge that keeps me passionate about this space and I hope motivates you.
Interesting data to say the least! As time moves on, we believe e-commerce won't be considered too complicated for anyone! This certainly is something to drive emarketers as you mentioned.
I'm as computer savvy as they come (I work for a marketing software company, did computer repair for 6 years, have my own Web site and blog), and they're right–online shopping is still too complicated.
Unless you're willing to simply accept whatever one of the big online retailers (Amazon, et al) throws at you, online shopping can be an impenetrable maze.
For example, I type in "Canon Rebel XT" into Google and get over a million page results. How do I know where to go? Should I go to Amazon? Do I go to one of the paid click ads? When I get there, am I actually buying from Amazon, since it's listed on their site, or am I actually buying from a third party, whom Amazon is simply listing? Whose warranty applies, Canon's? The store's? Whose return policy is most applicable, Amazon's, or the third party's?
And don't even get me started on eBay. I don't even bother with eBay. To make a purchase on eBay from a seller that could be considered even remotely trustworthy in most cases is only marginally cheaper than buying the product directly. Sure, you can get good deals on eBay. But in my experience, purchasing on eBay is less about the actual product, and more about the experience of purchasing on eBay. It's about the emotional "high" of fighting other people for the product and winning, and less about the product itself. The barrier to entry for Average Joe Consumer is waaaay too high for eBay.
Hi Brian,
From my usability perspective, opportunity is the key word in this post – as you say the opportunity for people such as ourselves who are experts in this space is immense, and its one of the reasons why we have recently launched our own e-commerce platform.
I also share similar feelings as yourself in terms of being totally passionate about the online retailing space. This combination of the opportunity and passion, combined with adopting User Centered Design processes to deliver e-commerce solutions, is certainly the key principles on which we carry out our services and build long term client relationships.
Thanks for your post..
Uh ? Have they updated the data after your post ? I can't understand the correlation between what you're saying, and the data i see in this board.
Maybe it's my english which is really too poor …
Hello Tong,
The figures I am pointing out are the second to the last set in the graphic. The question "Shopping online is complicated" 84% of 18-29 year olds, 83% of 30-49, 82% of 50-64, and 84% of 65+ agreed that shopping online is complicated. Hope that helped
Everyone who has commented so far I agree and I'm excited for your optimism.
Steve Watts: I tried to explain to an e-commerce owner a few months back that he needed to simplify his site. Every landing page for his ads came up with dozens of items. I explained he needed simple, unique landing pages for each item, and it just didn't get through. E-commerce sites ARE way more complicated than they need to be, I totally agree with you. I am just not sure why there's so much resistance to change in e-commerce design.
Thanks for your article, it validates what I have been saying to my clients for sometime now, "Keep it Simple" and you'll have a better conversion rate. Shopping online is complicated? I might not agree, but I have been online since 1995 and have learned to practice. Amazon is a good model, and I use it often.
Great point.
Another angle on this is to remember that anyone reading this blog is not part of the audience that thinks e-commerce is too complicated.
Regardless of age, 5 million+ new users are coming online for the first time every month. This is a huge audience to whom all this "online stuff" is still new, and somewhat intimidating, every few weeks!
"Don't confuse yourself with your audience" is an excellent design maxim.
Just an interesting observation, and it only counts because I'm so very late in commenting on this post. Amazon in 2008 posted record sales, while every single brick & mortar retailer posted record losses!
I think out of necessity (of saving money), consumers are becoming more OK with e-commerce.

[...] E-commerce Still Too Complicated For Most – Future Now – Jul '08 [...]
I sell on both ebay and Amazon, through my website, http:www.sunshine-styles.com, and I have found that ebay is far more difficult to use as a buyer and a seller. I've even had people agree to buy something from me on ebay and then tell me they won't be paying because they bought it on Amazon instead. It's just way easier, especially the payment process, for people who are newbies.
Hi Eve Lopez,
Yes, you are right e-commerce is so complicated, but one day i was searching for shopping portal, then i came across an online goo2o shopping portal. That portal was very simple in design and it's very easy to locate your product. So e-commerce is not so much complicated that much we are thinking there are some good sites where we can make transaction to buy goods in very simple manner

2:05 PM PDT : Witnesses at the scene tell us ... Nicole has no visible injuries. Cops are saying they will write Wu a ticket for riding his bike on the sidewalk, but will not arrest him for a criminal offense. One cop said, "An accident's an accident."
Nicole Kidman is pressing charges against a paparazzo who crashed into her on a bicycle, knocking her to the ground.
Nicole had just left the Calvin Klein show for New York's Fashion Week and was returning to the Carlyle Hotel. As she walked toward the entrance, a freelance photog named Carl Wu was roaring toward her on his bike.
Witnesses tell TMZ ... as Wu got dangerously close to Nicole, he appeared to hit his brakes, but it didn't do the trick. He slammed into her and she went crashing to the ground.
A photog who was there tells TMZ ... Nicole was furious and said she wanted to press charges against Wu. Nicole called the cops, and they're on the way right now.
Wu is a notorious photog who has had run-ins with other celebs, including Lada Gaga. There's actually a Tumblr account called, "F**k You Carl Wu."
As for Nicole ... no word on whether she's injured -- though paramedics were on scene ... just in case.
4:45 PM PDT: We just got video of Carl Wu leaving the police station. He wasn't in the mood to chat.
Luckily all the Botox kept her safe and served as a cushion when she fell! Thank goodness for Botox. Celebs should consider Botox as a protective armor against the meanie paps!
He's a not too bright guy who was riding a bike on the sidewalk - who happened to be a photog. I don't see a camera on the ground or in his hand or around his neck. Is knocking down celebs his other job?
She probably won't sue. That was in the heat of the moment. Stuff happens, sounds like the guy just misjudged how fast he could stop.
Hey TMZ, what's up with all the redirects to Google Play? Every 30 seconds while I try to read your articles, it just goes to the play store. I'm deleting you from my bookmarks until you tone down the aggressive ads.
Hey, is that Kimmycakes in the black there, helping her? She just turned blonde. Ha!
FYI: Just so everyone knows - There is someone who is cloning me (and a lot of other people) and is posting on all the boards. If you don't believe me - click on his avatar and then mine you will see for yourself. This person steals other people's avatar's and nick names then hides behind a proxy server and posts on all the boards. Beware: This person may very easily clone you also! So Heads Up!!
I've seen the expression like the one on his face a thousand times after an aggressive, greedy Asian realizes they could be in trouble for causing an accident because they have to be first. He probably laid there for a few minutes with that look, trying to gain sympathy like he is a victim too. I guess it worked on the equally stupid cop.
I know all the first ammendment issues but endangering the star and their families is just not right. It's downright scary at times. Children should be off base and with today's cameras there is no reason to get this close to anyone. I don't care for frivalous law suits but I hope Ms Kidman sues the crap out of this guy!!! And a restraining order if possible. This is just very wrong just to snap a stupid picture to sell.
I am disappointed in Nicole. She isn't hurt and it seems to be an accident.
I've fallen and I can't get up!!!!
I would have to say that is a invasion of someone's personal space. This guy is a real s*** bag. Who wouldn't be angry if they got hit by a cyclist trying to get too close to you.
Nice bike.
get over yourself biotch. It was an accident.
Ha ha they guy is a tool but who cares things happen, she'll live.
the biker knew what he was doing

The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die."
Was that the first sample you've written, or just the first of it you've posted? Because really, it's not bad! The descriptions could be better, for example: "like a gladiator, like he could kill a man with a single hand. And he could. The waitress had flirted with him openly". This could be said as "The sly winks and increasing view of cleavage from the waitress went unnoticed by the stern man".Less "they hated him",more,"they made a point to slam their shoulders against his in passing"
Hi! first: THANK YOU!! Really, I didn't know if I was gonna have any feedback…
It is the first story I wrote in English (my mother tongue is Spanish), and it was a few years ago. Recently I decided to go back to writing, mostly in Spanish, but I found that one story, and felt it deserved some improvement, so I asked for help :)
I get what you say about descriptions… I need to read more to get more vocabulary! I will work on it this weekend (probably), and post it again next week. I will try to use your suggestions without copying it.
Again, thanks for your great advice!
Well, I am asking for some help and advice here. I wrote this story some time ago, but never gave it a second glance. It feels estranged now, maybe it has been too long since I last wrote something that I actually liked. I am putting it out here in the open, so you can tell me what you think, how to improve and such. I will be very, very grateful if you share it too, so more people get to share their ideas. Thank you, guys!!
An Inevitable Meeting
The three men looked nervous. They were sitting at a small table in a smelly, low-lit bar. It was not even noon and there were a few men drinking already, looking disgraced and hopeless, like all drunks do, eventually.

This is an important case to check out if you work in the debt collection industry, or you work against the debt collection industry.
Two plaintiffs, with nearly identical back-stories, had outstanding medical bills. Neither paid their bills. Both accounts were referred to Franklin Collection Service, Inc., after the original healthcare providers tacked on a "collection fee" of 30 to 33.3 percent. Franklin had agreements with both providers that awarded it 30 percent of whatever it collected.
The difference? One plaintiff, Calma, signed an agreement that allowed for "all costs of collection including reasonable interest, reasonable attorney's fees (if suit is filed) and reasonable collection agency fees," while the other, Bradley, signed an agreement that agreed that he would be responsible for the "costs of collection."

Any prospective reader should keep clearly in mind what this book aims to accomplish. It is best described by the author, a professor of psychiatry and anthropology, in the ninth chapter: "to provide a frame of reference and a methodology for conceptualizing the evolution of medicine." Later he acknowledges, "The evolution of sickness and healing has been handled with main emphasis given to the hypothetical conduct of key participants in this enterprise."
Note that this is social science theory—not a historical narrative or series of vignettes, nor a historical analysis—and it is indeed very hypothetical in its treatment of issues. As such, it will be of much more interest to social scientists than to practitioners, historians, or other academicians.
Most valuable is a central idea: that the best way to consider the evolution of sickness and healing is to treat these two aspects of human experience as inextricably linked. Social and biological evolution can then be seen as continuously shaping and reshaping this pair. The author deals with six levels of "prototypical social organizations," from family-level and village-level societies to postmodern societies. I found the hypothetical discussions in these categories disappointing; more specific illustrations of actual practices, relationships, concepts, and activities encountered in the societies would have been more interesting and also more convincing. The author makes many references to sociological and anthropological studies of particular societies, but without excerpting details. Only a reader who already has command of these sources will know how to consider them.
Some passages resist comprehension. Consider this one: "The psychosomatic/somatopsychic capacity to medicalize conditions of distress and suffering in different ways and with different emphases may be held to reside in the way members of a society have come to operationalize, using cultural knowledge, the biologically innate information that leads to the formation and expression of the SH adaptation." Or, "Political economic factors have seductively seized on existential imperatives devolving from the curing/elimination emphasis that biomedicine has itself derived from the SH adaptation."
An additional weakness throughout Evolution of Sickness and Healing occurs when the author proposes theoretical generalizations and postulates without describing or discussing alternatives and without suggesting further studies that might validate his proposals.
Anyone interested in social science theory will find this book relevant and will be stimulated to debate the pros and cons of the author's ideas, but other readers may not find that the substantial effort required to read it will be adequately rewarded.

Bristol Palin had some insightful politically commentary that hit the media today.
Yesterday, Bristol Palin criticized the President's stance on gay marriage. Her main criticism was that Obama said that his daughters influenced his opinion about same sex marriage because, "they have friends who have parents that are same-sex couples."
"It wouldn't dawn on them that somehow their friends' parents would be treated differently," Obama said. "And frankly that's the kind of thing that prompts a change of perspective - not wanting to somehow explain to your child why somebody should be treated differently when it comes to the eyes of the law."
That makes sense, right? Not if you're a Palin. So let the sarcasm begin….
(p.s. - I added the unquoted parts to help bristol more clearly communicate her ideals.)
Bristol's response was, "While it's great to listen to your kids' ideas, there's also a time when dads simply need to be dads."
- And dads are supposed to hang out, drink beer and ride snow mobiles while their wives solicit money from evangelicals (Todd Palin).
- Or better yet -
- Have their names tattooed on their forearms and leave their child to do pistachio commercials after babymamma's mamma doesn't win VP (Levi Johnston).
Bristol continued, "In this case, it would've been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that's not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage."
-Ms. Palin makes a solid argument here because she didn't spend any time thinking about marriage; bypassing the institution entirely, and opting for the more accepted "single teenage mother" sacrament. She isn't a hypocrite, she is progressive. I'm going to call her B-Pal now.
She went on to say, "Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids' worldview."
-I'm not sure into what shape Todd Palin has molded his children's world views, so I can't comment. But the guy wanted to be called "first dude", so I'm sure that culture floods the Palin house every night before wwf wrestling comes on.
More Palin quotes: "So let me get this straight – it's a problem if my mom listened too much to my dad, but it's a heroic act if the President made a massive change in a policy position that could affect the entire nation after consulting with his teenage daughters?" Palin wondered.
-Yes, because your father is an uninformed idiot.
B-Pal keeps the material flowing with, "In this case, it would've been nice if the President would've been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee,"
-She is definitely Sarah's daughter. Look at the part I made bold. That's what I want from my leader. Listen to my opinion, and then "shape my thoughts" so that I believe what they need to further their agendas.
B-Pal did make one point that is 100% correct. "Glee" is an awful show. And since she is pretty hot, I don't mind seeing her in the news. I am also glad that she is showing an interest in the family business of mouthdumping. I can't wait for Trig to get old enough to give us his opinions. They may be more coherent than his mothers'.
rest in peace, junior seau. thanks for the memories and we'll miss you, man.
One of the biggest problems with American society is arrogance and narcissism. These two character flaws detrimentally impact nearly all interactions including political, business, and social.
Politically they create partisan behavior and open the doors for big money corruption. In business, they pave the way for greedy and unethical practices. And socially, they encourage selfish snobbery and douchebaggery. With just a few minutes of thought, I'm sure that everyone can think of a situation where arrogance or narcissism has caused unnecessary pain or turmoil.
I have figured out a socially radical way that we can eliminate these problems from wreaking more havoc to our already tumultuous and polarized society…
All political, business, and social interactions should be done in underwear and no make up.
Before, you attack me for being a pervert, let me emphasize that this would only be a pleasurable experience for about 2% of the population. I don't want to see most women in their unmentionables without make up and I don't care to see any men in their briefs.
I know many of you are saying, "Daniel, this is ludicrous. How will this help anything?"
I will answer will a situation we can all relate too. Think about when you are at the beach or the pool. Think about how humble girls are when you can see their whole body, their make up is washed off, their hair has is flat and lifeless all under the bright natural sun.
Now think about how humble men are when you can see their fat bellies, wimpy arms, flat chests, and hairy backs.
Now are you seeing the picture I am painting? By exposing people's physical inadequacies, you create an environment where only the truly confident and intelligent will speak and be heard. No more hiding behind hours of "getting ready" and designer clothes.
Now what about people who are blessed with extreme physical attractiveness?
Most of these people aren't smart enough to interact at high levels. If someone is super attractive AND intelligent, then good for them; they are demigods.
Here are some real life examples that should make you think about the viability of this concept.
1. Rush Limbaugh: Do you think he would be so tough if he wasn't hiding behind a microphone and oxycontin induced delusions?
2. Newt Gingrich: It's hard to be an arrogant dick when everyone can see that you are 70 years old and have the body of a wrinkled New Years' baby.
3. Hillary Clinton: It is hard to come across as a strong woman when your boobs hang below your navel and your penis hangs farther.
4. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (Leader of Iran): Nuclear proliferation would become less of a priority when you have to hide your 2 inch brown sand worm from the world.
5. Female Jersey Shore cast (sober): I can't even imagine what that pigfest would look like with bronzer, hair extensions, eye lash extensions, implants, corsets, high heels, ounces of make up and faux celebrity status.
6. Bitchy girls in clubs: Watch how they scamper for shelter like german cockroaches when the lights come on at last call.
7. Douche bag guys in clubs: It's amazing how no alcohol and designer shirts wipe that shit eating smirk of their faces.
8. Any Hollywood twit that wants to express their uninformed political and social views: I've seen pictures of Cameron Diaz without make and she looks like a Mongolian catfish. No wonder Timberlake left her.
9. The Baldwins: Not that any of them are even A-listers, but I wouldn't be impressed by an oaf that's hairier than a Sasquatch.
10. The obese: Self-explanatory.
The above were examples that my theory would bring down a peg. The following is a list of people that may benefit from working in your skivvies.
1. Greedy corporate executives, board members, and bankers: It would be a tad more believable when they tell us they used their government bail out money for good when they aren't wearing $5000 Zegna suits.
2. Barack Obama: He is already handsome, intelligent, and eloquent, imagine if he had a "jungle dong" under that kevlar suit.
3. Sarah Palin: She is a milf and extremely overconfident. Getting her out of her "naughty secretary" costume into lingerie doesn't seem that hard and it would distract us from the brain dead rhetoric that leaves her mouth.
4. Strippers: We're in their world now.
5. The Homeless: We may be more apt to give them money because the smell of urine and malt liquor won't radiate from their clothes.
6. Lesbians: They don't wear make up and already have short hair. They will probably get more respect because people will think that they are dealing with a man.
You can see how the list of beneficiaries of the under wear and no make up plan is shorter and shakier than the list of people that it will silence. Further evidence that we need to push for this radical social change.
Get the word out! Propose this for the next company sales meeting, job interview, or any other negotiation style interaction. I promise this will change the world!
As a retired Ob/Gyn, Ron Paul has seen a lot of pussies. I wonder how he is going to handle a bunch of assholes in the Iowa Caucus tonight. I hope that he brings that big, opener that ob/gyns use.
If you follow me on Twitter, you heard my simple, one-sentence, description of Ann Coulter - "Ann Coulter is c**t." While that statement is more crass than I prefer to be, it was the nicest thing I could think to say about this man-faced, Nazi woman.
Coulter is a right-wing, talking head and contributor to Fox News. Her newest revelation was one of the most racist things I have ever heard. Here is what she said when explaining why conservative Blacks are so much better than liberal Blacks:
"Our blacks are so much better than their blacks," Coulter told Fox News. "To become a black Republican, you don't just roll into it. You're not going with the flow. You have fought against probably your family members, probably your neighbors, you have thought everything out and that's why we have very impressive blacks in our party."
She continued in another interview, "I'm saying Google Maxine Waters, Cynthia McKinney, John Conyers, and then Google Allen West, Michael Steele or Herman Cain. … Ours are more impressive. There's no question about it."
Wow. When I heard her say this the other day, I sat speechless for a least 3 minutes. Then, I thought that I should email Ms. Coulter and offer $5.50/lb for some of "their good ones." ;)
What did Ann Coulter mean when she said, "Our Blacks are so much better than their blacks."?
She is saying that conservative blacks are better because they pander to whims of conservative whites. They basically agree with the ideology that they shouldn't be allowed to vote, get an education, or use the same water fountains as whites. Conservative blacks are essentially okay with Jim Crow Laws.
If I were black, I would consider conservative blacks to be "Uncle Toms." Right-wing pundits are now attacking Obama for not being black enough. They say that Herman Cain is "a real black."
What makes Cain a real black and Obama not black enough?
1. Education: Herman Cain went to Morehouse College, which is a black college.
Barack Obama went to Harvard, a white school. Black Edge: Cain
2. Personal Life: Herman Cain has been in the national spotlight for only 2 months and already has 2 sexual harassment charges against him.
Barack Obama has had the right gunning for him nearly 4 years and he is still known to be a committed family man. Black Edge: Cain
3. Speaking Ability: Herman Cain sings gospel songs and makes up words as he goes. For instance, when defending himself against his sexually harassing past, Cain said that he "couldn't recollate details from 12 years ago." Contextually, I assume he meant "recollect." But I am not an English teacher so maybe I'm overstepping my boundary by pointing out that Herman Cain doesn't speak real English.
Barack Obama is one of the most eloquent and refined orators I have ever seen. He uses real words and speaks proper English. Black Edge: Cain
4. Color: Herman Cain is a much darker shade of black than Barack Obama.
Black Edge: Cain
5. Apparel: Herman Cain is flashy dresser. Oftentimes, he appears wearing fancy hats, like he is going to Red Lobster after church.
Barack Obama wears professional suits appropriate for his position.
Black Edge: Cain
Well, this totally official checklist proves that Herman Cain is blacker than Barack Obama.
Where does this leave us?
The same place as we were last week. Conservatives like blacks that act like "the good ones." They like the simple blacks like Skynard's Curtis Lowe, who would play you a song if you gave him a fifth of wine.
Here is my message to conservative, Republican Blacks:
Way to go! You are setting your people back 50 years.

First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Susan Salmon. I was born in Neepawa Hospital, grew up in Plumas, attended elementary school in Plumas, and high school in Gladstone. I went on to become a teacher in Pine Creek School Division, marry my husband who teaches in Beautiful Plains School Division, live in the RM of Langford, and have four children who attend school in Neepawa. I feel that it is necessary that people understand from where I am coming.
As an educator, I totally understand the government's decision over the last few years on the importance of keeping schools open in small communities. A small school cannot close unless the people of that community have voted that they wish to close the school. Everyone is entitled to an education within their community. Education for all is important.
It completely shocks me that we do not take this same view with our health care, and ultimately our lives. Apparently, over the past couple of years our Regional Health Authority has created a Joint Hospital Committee to push the plan forward for two hospitals to close and build a new hospital somewhere between Neepawa and Minnedosa. Very soon our town councils and rural municipalities will be signing on their support for this joint venture. They feel that this needs to be done quickly before the next election. I have many questions about this.
What research has the ARHA and the joint hospital committee done in preparing for this major decision?
They could say that they compared our situation to that of the joint hospital located between Morden and Winkler. I'm sorry, but that is like comparing elephants to goldfish. All it takes is to look at a map of Manitoba to see that Neepawa and Minnedosa are about 30 km (18 miles) apart, and Winkler and Morden are about 10 km (6 miles) apart. You can almost see Winkler on the horizon when driving out of Morden. This distance does not compare, especially when it comes to time during an emergency. Let's also look at the size of the compared communities. If you combined the population of both Neepawa and Minnedosa together, you would not even make the size of Morden, the smaller community to Winkler. Winkler, by the way, has recently been proclaimed a city. Both Morden and Winkler are continually growing. They may eventually grow to join one day. Is that even possible for Neepawa and Minnedosa? We would never get a hospital with the size and amenities as the one in the south. Government bases its funding on population.
How is the ARHA considering proper health care, especially emergency care, for our surrounding communities?
Once again, take a moment to look at a map of Manitoba. Take note of the hospital symbols on the map in our area compared to other regions in Manitoba. Do we really want to increase the distance to a serviceable hospital in our area?
Some might argue that we would at least be getting a bigger facility with more services if we did join. Yes, but to whose expense? How many lives will be sacrificed for that hospital?
What are the plans of the ARHA for providing immediate care for those in a serious, life threatening emergency situation?
My father died of a heart attack at home in Plumas. My mother and brothers performed CPR on him until the ambulance arrived. Working at their best, it took the ambulance at least 45 minutes to arrive and another 20 minutes to transport him to the hospital in Gladstone to merely pronounce him dead when he arrived. I will never stop wondering if the outcome would have been different if they lived closer to the hospital.
After my father's death, my mother chose to move and retire in Neepawa because of the reliability of the hospital. Many people from surrounding communities choose to move to Neepawa because of its excellent health care within the community.
My family lives about 10 minutes out of Neepawa. Our youngest daughter has a severe life threatening seizure disorder that requires her to take three types of medication everyday to control her seizures. However, lengthy seizures that will not stop still occur, requiring us to get her to the hospital immediately. We can not wait for an ambulance, we transport her ourselves. Time before medical help decides her outcome. It had been suggested to us years ago by our neurologist to move to Winnipeg, because of the seriousness of her seizures. We have experienced Winnipeg's emergency care which involves a whole list of protocol before treatment. We chose to stay in Neepawa because of the excellence of the medical staff who all know our daughter personally, and are ready for her as soon as we run through the doors of the hospital.
I did not chose to share these personal stories about myself for those reading to feel sorry for me and speak up on my behalf, but rather for people to make a personal connection of situations that may affect them, their parents, and their children.
What have our councils done to make sure that a joint hospital is what the general public wants?
They could say that they attended the public meeting back in 2007 when the proposal first came to the public. My husband and I attended the meeting in Neepawa to find that it was set up to be very one sided. Many people were ready to speak up right off the bat in support of the proposed hospital; however the scoffers, groaners and eye-rollers were also ready to respond to those who opposed. The general public will not publicly voice their opposition to something unless they are personally and seriously connected with the issue, as well as being brave enough to speak up for fear of being ostracized. Judging by the huge number of people who attended this meeting, many people are obviously concerned about this issue. People often don't attend public meetings if they feel it won't affect them.
Our councils could say that they have read the local papers. There have been some articles and editorials, as well as letters to the editor in support of the joint hospital. I have read few letters opposing. I commend Cecil Pittman on his courage to openly voice his opposition to the joint hospital through the papers. I have never met Mr. Pittman, but every time I read one of his letters I know that the very next week someone is ready to jump and attack him. It is not wonder why not many people publicly voice their opposition. It is far easier for us to jump on the bandwagon or not say anything at all, rather than speak up for something in which we believe.
Have you been contacted by a councilor to find your opinion?
We certainly have not. Don't wait for them to contact you, they won't. An issue like health care is critical and affects us all. Please take time to think about this issue and speak up.
Bigger is not always better. We could build huge educational institutions with every course offered that we could hope for our children, and close all of the small schools in surrounding areas. One reason why we don't do this is because we would never want our children riding the bus that long. Now let's think about this in an emergency situation. Do we really want to build a hospital out in the middle of wherever, where everyone is required to drive a distance, and time is truly vital?
Many people passively sit back and don't make a personal connection to how much an issue as important as this may affect them. Health care is everyone's concern, and we should all be given the chance to say what we want. Providing a vote for the general public would be the right thing to do. Everyone is entitled to proper health care in their community. Emergency care for all is important.
You don't know what you had, until its gone!

Anne Arundel teacher learns to fly to help students soar
STEM teacher using lessons from the air in the classroom

Rob Rice trains to fly at Bay Bridge Airport so he can better teach his aeronautics class at South River High School. (Karl Merton Ferron, Baltimore Sun / February 2, 2012)
Taking off and landing can be harrowing at times, but Rice says the experience he's bringing to the classroom is worth it, making his students eager to take flight themselves.
"Hopefully they can get as excited as I am about it," said Rice, "and maybe a little bit jealous, because they're doing all the bookwork and I'm doing all the flying. I try to relate my most recent lessons to what I'm teaching in class."
Rice, 24, has taken more than a dozen classes at Chesapeake Sport Pilot flight school in Stevensville en route to earning his pilot's license and learning to become an FAA ground instructor. A Maryland education official said Rice is the only one the state is aware of doing this type of professional development.
Rice's yearlong aeronautics course at South River prepares students for their FAA ground school exam and readies them for flight lessons, he said. About 18 students are in the class this year.
Rice keeps them informed of his experiences with a blog that also provides information to bolster their classroom study. Rice said he draws from his flight school experiences to teach lessons about airplane performance, engines and maneuvers.
"I'm currently teaching them about radio communication, and I have to do that every single time I go into the air," said Rice. "It's easier now to teach them concepts about flying a plane."
Rice's students are avid readers of his blog.
"He's a role model for future pilots," said South River 10th-grader Nick Platek, one of Rice's students who delights in hearing about the course his teacher is taking. "He's someone you can look up to and say, 'Hey I want to be like him, flying with all the knowledge.'"
The course is part of Anne Arundel County public schools' efforts to offer teachers professional development opportunities beyond traditional settings.
"This professional development experience is so rich that you can't compare it to two hours in the classroom," said Maureen McMahon, the school system's assistant superintendent for advanced studies and programs.
South River and North County High School house Anne Arundel's STEM Magnet programs, which Rice's class is part of. They offer project-based, hands-on learning environments in science, technology, engineering and math classes. STEM courses and programs expose students to science and technology-based careers, an area of emphasis throughout the state and nation.
McMahon said Rice's flight school lessons were funded as part of a $1.5 million NASA Earth and Space grant. She said the school system shares the three-year grant with theUniversity of Maryland, Baltimore County and Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia.
Katharine Oliver, state assistant superintendent for career and college readiness, says the South River STEM Magnet's collaboration with a flight school is the only one she knows of in the state.
"We are very anxious to see how we can link our high school programs, particularly in that pre-engineering area, because it's a nice fit," she said. "Our pre-engineering programs have an opportunity for an aeronautical specialty."
Rice said he still is nervous when he flies, but "it's getting easier."
"The first time we went up, because of the class I'm teaching, I knew a lot of the basics," he said. "When it was time to actually fly, the flight instructor was giving me a little bit of leeway, saying, 'Go ahead, you can taxi out.'
"And the minute we took off, you felt lighter. It was just exciting, here we were above the Bay Bridge, and I couldn't believe it," Rice added.
McMahon said school officials sought to take advantage of the many small airports nearby in crafting South River's aerospace engineering program. "The whole notion is that STEM has to come to life for these students or it just becomes something that remains academic," she said. "We want to tell these kids that are so many opportunities out there."

17 Nutrients For Better Vision
The Ocu-Plus Formula is a proprietary blend of 17 of the highest grade nutrients that research has shown are essential in improving the clarity of your eyesight and protecting your visual system. Specifically designed to Improve Your Vision Health, Prevent Cataracts, Restore The Clarity Of Your Eyesight, Improve Macular Degeneration, and Prevent Glaucoma.
Glaucoma symptoms come from a group of eye conditions in which the optic nerve is damaged at the point where it leaves the eye. This nerve carries information from the retina, to the brain.
In the following video Glaucoma is explained by Robert L. Epstein, M.D. of Mercy Center for Corrective Eye Surgery.
Your eye needs a certain amount of pressure to keep the eyeball in shape so that it can work properly. In some people, the damage is caused by raised eye pressure.
Others may have an eye pressure within normal limits but damage occurs because there is a weakness in the optic nerve. A combination of high pressure and weakness in the optic nerve are normally involved but to a varying extent.
For natural treatments of glaucoma symptoms visit NaturalEyecare.com.
