I've seen 2 "the dead" shows and 3 "Furthur" shows. JK is the man for the job. Not both, just JK. Jimmy Herring was the only saving grace for Warren in 2004 but still too much guitar. JK needs to be in "The Dead"

Re: "The Dead" Warren out, JK in!!!!!!!!!!#88671 2 years, 10 months agoI've seen two the dead shows as well. One with just jimmy herring and one with herring and haynes. As much as I like Warren with Gov't Mule and solo I just didn't like him with the dead. I don't know why but JK is great for furthur.

Re: "The Dead" Warren out, JK in!!!!!!!!!!#88734 2 years, 10 months agohopefully Bill not liking JK is just a rumor cause he would be great with The Dead ..... I love Warren to but doing his own thing, I said this many times before but I just feel that he gives The Dead more of a southern rock sound with his guitar --- still enjoyed The Dead in 09' though and would go on tour either way, having John would just top it all off.

Re: "The Dead" Warren out, JK in!!!!!!!!!!#88739 2 years, 10 months agoJohn's way better playing Dead music. I don't think Warren really ever wanted to be the guy. He's more into doing his own thing.

Re: "The Dead" Warren out, JK in!!!!!!!!!!#88743 2 years, 10 months agoAgreed, but I could definitely see some major disagreements over who should play lead guitar if "The Dead" ever got back together, and could see that actually stopping it from happening.
To be honest it seems like Billy really enjoys 7 Walkers. And Mickey is having fun making his new band, probably doing a bunch of world music and music therapy stuff (This weekend he's at a music therapy conference, I know because my sister is a music therapist and is there also).
And of course Furthur is on fire. For the foreseeable future are these guys even gonna want to get back together??

Re: "The Dead" Warren out, JK in!!!!!!!!!!#88765 2 years, 10 months agoI agree, i'm still hoping The Dead will be on hold for a while, hopefully a long while, just focused and amazed with Furthur right now. I love Warren and all he has done, but he's really got something else going and i hope it stays that way.

Re: "The Dead" Warren out, JK in!!!!!!!!!!#89158 2 years, 10 months agoi want to hear phil bob bill and mickey all in the same band, but i dig that they are all into what they are into right now and it gives us a chance to see some members, billy and mickey in more intimate places, not way back behind all those drums, like ratdog did for bob, being a few feet from them is an awsome experience, xspecially when they are on fire.
but yeah lead guitar is the main disagreement rumor has it.
but with phil playin with warren in phil and friends, and bob and mickey and billy playin in SF at the 7 walkers show(i know people say bill was snubbin bob but what the fuk, i think people read too much into things)
it says alot they were playin together, and i wish i was there.
so it looks like its JK or warren, (but i think there are better choices, barry sless, kimock, karan,trucks,ALOT of SF talent is untapped.

Sviggum chooses to keep UMinn regents seat, will resign U teaching position
MINNEAPOLIS - Former Minnesota House Speaker Steve Sviggum says he'll keep his seat on the University of Minnesota Board of Regents and resign from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs to end a conflict of interest.
A regents committee last week told Sviggum that holding both jobs at the university was a conflict and that he should choose one. Sviggum was appointed last month to the unpaid regents' seat. He was also a paid legislative fellow at the Humphrey School.

Māyā in Śankara with Reference to Śankara's Bhāsya on the Brahma Sūtra--from a Phenomenological Viewpoint
Date of Award

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
J.G. Arapura
The conception "māyā" has been translated as "illusion" by many who interpret the Advaita Vedānta of Śankara. What we intend to accomplish in this dissertation is to determine if this translation is the correct one. This will be accomplished in two parts. The first will entail an historical survey of māyā in the early tradition and samvrti in Mādhyamika Buddhism and pre-Śankara Advaita. Then we will review Śankara and the post-Śankara Advaita on māyā. Part Two is a phenomenological inquiry into māyā, in the Brahma Śutra bhāsya of Śankara. Here we will be concerned with the structures of the name-form complex, language, and analogue, and their relation to māyā. We will also point out other possible interpretations of the concept "māyā" in Śankara's thought.

I refer to my work as 'Social Expressionism'. I look to the past for visual resources and this exploration has exposed me to the richness, craftsmanship and spirituality of the cultures of Africa and Ancient Mexico. The complexities of the present and the possibilities of the future are also a constant source of imagery, concept and metaphor. The social history and current events of our world are a powerful and compelling source of aesthetic guidance for me, and I use their influence.

Hi, I'm Eric. A C++ coder turned Java zealot turned Ruby on Rails adopter turned Django turned... whatever. They're all fine. I'm not here to talk about superior architecture, or the best language, or design or whatever. I'm here to talk about getting your web app idea out the fucking door. This is exactly what we did with MicroTasking.net. A year ago this was hard, but could be done for free. Two years ago it could be done cheaply. Five years ago you needed some funding and a lot more time. This is today - so I'll talk about the lowest barrier to entry technical stack on the market: Google.
Note - I don't work for Google, I don't get kickbacks, I don't even own any stock. But I have bootstrapped several companies, products, enterprises, forgettable services, and open source products. I also make iPhone apps.
Are you afraid of "putting all of your eggs in one Google basket"? Don't. When speaking of risk assessment, the largest risk of a startup is failing to launch. Google going away isn't your biggest concern. Scaling isn't either. Just push it out the door - then worry about those things. Once you have customers, you'd be amazed all of the problems you can pay to have solved. Like migrating to dedicated machines, if it makes you feel better.
So what do you need, from the technical side, to start a web application company? A domain name. You need a server that doesn't suck. Email/office software is nice. A blog is good. A phone number to call. What else? You also need customers. You get them through advertising and campaign optimization (which you achieve via tracking). They also need to be able to make purchases. But first thing's first:
Domain Registration/Host/Email/Office Apps
Let's start with the basics. Register a domain and get a host through Google Apps signup. Click "I want to buy a domain name" and search for one. It costs $10/year, which is more than Go Daddy. What they give is worth the extra price. You'll automatically be set up with a standard version of GA - which provides you with 50 domain-specific email accounts integrated with the Calendar, a sandboxed office suite with IM/Video Chat, Documents, Slideshows, Spreadsheets - also integrated Forms, which you can put on your Site or email, and collect results as a spreadsheet. Oh, also, they provide a website CMS.
Money down: $10
Phone Management
Sign up for Google Voice. It's not public yet - but it will be soon enough. I use it daily... it has damn near everything you need for a small company PBX. I live in Indianapolis, but my business number is San Francisco - which forwards to my cellphone. Twofold benefit. 1) you don't want to give out your private number, and 2) you don't want to give out your private number. It's free for now. You can even pay extra for a toll-free (800, 888, 866) number.
More on Email
This is a nice trick mentioned by Tim Ferriss in the 4-Hour Work Week. Since you're eventually going to grow and outsource all of your work (right?) it's not a bad idea to segment your communications in advance. Your company may just be you and a buddy for now, but you want the illusion of a larger team. Sales. Info. Webmaster. Whatever. You can do this on the Google Apps dashboard by clicking "Users and Groups" on the top, then choosing "Groups". Create as many groups as you need and just have them forward to the appropriate people. As you grow, it's easy to reroute the traffic - much easier than changing a well-known email address. Our list for MicroTasking.net is:
email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
They all forward to me and Jim.
Get a blog via Blogger. Just sign-up with the Google Account you made above. Follow the steps to create a blog. That's easy enough, eh? What you probably want here though, is not a blog URL http://mynewblog.blogspot.com , but rather http://blog.mynewcompany.com. This is a two-step process.
First, create the blog subdomain. In the Google Apps dashboard, click "Domain Settings" above. Then click "Domain Names", then "Advanced DNS settings". Sign into enom. "Edit Host Records" and "Add New" CNAME named "blog" (or whatever). Set the address to "ghs.google.com." (don't forget the period at the end). That's it for the DNS routing table.
Next log back into Blogger. Click "Settings" and then "Publishing". Fill out Your Domain with the new subdomain (eg. http://blog.mynewcompany.com). That's it! No more lame blogspot domain.
This should cover you on the business/IT end. Let's make the app!
The Application
For years Google skirted around the edges - instead focusing on toolkits, APIs, and company tools like email. With the launch of Google App Engine (GAE) last year, they've taken a huge leap toward Amazon. What is App Engine? Think EC2+SimpleDB+S3+deployment tools+data management. It's to Python (and Java) what Heroku is for Ruby on Rails. In other words - a dream.
Sign up for a Google App Engine account. Again, just use your new gmail account. There are a lot of posts about App Engine, so I won't cover it here. But what I will tell you is, if you choose to write in Python, use Django. There a great patch project here. Follow the instructions. Use it. I've written 3 GAE projects so far - two of them without it. One with. If your application will be non-trivial, just make the investment to learn Django and use it - you'll thank me later.
Note that your application lives at http://mynewapp.appspot.com/. Again, we want to put the application under our single domain - which is painfully easy. This is where I diverge from the Google party-line. I don't use the Google Site stuff - but by default, your domain will forward to use Google Site. So I instead hijack the "www" subdomain to point to my app-engine app.
First, we need to tell Google about our application. Go back to the Dashboard, and click on "Add More Services". Under "Other services", you will see "Google App Engine" - "Enter App ID:". Do what it says (this is the unique name you gave your app - the *.appspot.com subdomain). It will then forward you to another settings page - but ignore this for now and return to the main Dashboard page. Click on the "Sites" link, then "Web address mapping". Delete the "www" mapping. Then return to your Dashboard.
Select the new "app engine" link - the one you just added. Choose "Add new URL", and enter in the subdomain "www". Viola! Now your application will be the main page. I recommend doing this because Google Sites is pretty limited, both in style and customizability. Your applications index page doesn't have to be anything more than a static template page - which you can 100% customize like any other website. Some people are taking advantage of this, and using App Engine as a pure content delivery network (CDN) to host static pages, images, etc for free. Actually, I host ZiggyPod this way. It' fast, scales, and the price is right :). It's "freemium", so you can pay for more later.
There are many services Google provides, which you can easily hook into via app-engine. Maps, Email, etc. But there's nothing special there. The real cool piece is hooking into Google Checkout. Sign up for an account. There are many ways you can hook into GC, but my favorite way is to set up your account to automatically update the application when a sale is made - such as making more services available. It's nearly immediate.
Head to "Settings", "Integration" in the GC page. Under "API callback URL" enter in the URL that will accept the callback. Note that this URL must be https, and that app engine only supports certificates from appspot.com. Meaning, here is one place where you will have to enter in your appspot URL. For example:
This assumes your app has a path "/googlepaynotify" which handles the callback. Google Checkout will send the URL XML or name=value pairs. I prefer XML - just parse it and handle it. There's plenty of documentation on the API.
This handles the callback, but how do you make the sale begin? The easiest way is to create a "Buy Now Button" - you'll see it if you click "Tools" on the top. It will generate the client-side code where you can put the button on your site. Congratulations! You can now accept sales. You can make it as complex as you want, of course, which requires more integration with the API. But that's beyond the scope here.
So far we have a homepage, full office stack, a blog, application hosting, and the ability to accept payments. What more do we need... oh yeah, customers! Let's integrate with AdWords.
AdWords is older than dirt. It's Google's first and most profitable business unit - and with good reason. I worked for over a year as a keyword marketer, and I have one piece of advise: Don't try and game the system. All of the obvious ideas have been tried, and the cleverer ones are dominated by a few players who do that, and only that, for a living.
However - there is something you should know: Turn off keywords. OK, perhaps not completely, but your focus should be on optimizing Content Network. Two reasons for this 1) since the keyword space is basically dominated, you'll pay out the nose for decent keywords. Sure, grab a few - your company name, for example, but for the most part, take a cue from Paul McCartney. Let it be. 2) You'll have far more impression on the content network than keywords. You only pay per click, so if someone sees your website name and don't click, you just got a free impression. I get 100,000 impressions a day. Sure - most don't click, or see it. But some do - and it didn't cost all that much.
I could go on. Forever. The point being, sign up for adwords - it's a decent driver of traffic and a way to bootstrap your advertising for cheap. Just be wary of the expensive words. I never pay more than 0.50 per click. This is a secret of the pros. If the keywords you've chosen are expensive, they have high traffic, sure, but you can rather visit https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal, type in the good keyword, and take all of the lesser quality words instead. Let's do the math.
1 keyword @ $5.00/click * 1,000 click each = $5,000
500 (related) keywords @ $0.10/click * 2 clicks each = $10
For a savings of $4,990, you still got 1000 clicks. Of course, this takes more management. But there are several of these kinds of tricks available.
Google Analytics is great. Before this gem, most people either rolled their own traffic trackers, or payed huge sums of money for less-awesome analytics tools. I don't have much to say about it other than sign up, put it on your home page (landing page). If you use the same account for AdWords - Analytics will track your traffic which comes from clicking on ads. A handy feature to track conversions.
There are so many advanced tools available, it's hard to list them all here. But here are some
Conversion Tracking: From ad to successful "conversion" (visiting whatever page you consider to be a success), AdWords can self-optimize where/when/who to place your ads.
Conversion Optimizer: After a month of tracking conversions, you can start paying per action - this means rather than paying Google for keywords/content which may not succeed at sales - you can pay them only when a sale happens.
Checkout Badge: Increase AdWord conversions by letting Google notify and target people with Checkout accounts.
Many people use some aspect of Google services: gmail, applications, analytics. No need to complicate the matter - just wire these services together to create a full-stack for your new web-service company. Most anything you need (short of legal or tax advice) can be done for free or cheap.

When the time is right and you need a change, there's nothing quite as liberating as chopping off your hair into a bob. This process of renewal leaves you feeling fresh – courtesy of both the change in style and the dead ends left lying on the salon floor. In 2014 the bob maintains its relevance as a trend – both with a fringe / bangs and without. So if you're after a new hairstyle for 2014 and beyond, and want to brave the bob, this may just be the time.
Read on to find out more. And don't forget that if you'd like stay updated with all the latest trends and how to wear them, you can subscribe to Fashionising.com's newsletter or follow us on Facebook.
The bob haircut in 2014.
The bob as a style in 2013 worked its way into fashion in a more basic and flexible way. The trend has paved the way for shoulder length and chin length bob styles that are simple enough to work across a variety of styles. In 2014, the bob haircut is not as much about novelty anymore, as it is about keeping its effortless feel updated in all shapes and sizes. Furthermore, the innovation for the season lies in the myriad of ways allowing you to style the bob and to keep it fresh and pertinent all throughout the year.
Length & cut.
If you're in for the change and already decided to cut your hair short or just a few inches shorter, you need not worry about choosing between the bob finishing just above the chin, or the shoulder length one, as both styles maintain their strength and modern feel for 2014.

If you're already rocking a bob and wish only to refresh your look for the new season, you can easily opt for a Paige-boy bob that will only require adding on a fringe and cropping your hair a few inches shorter. The same way, you can grow an existing short bob into a shoulder length style, tipping off the dead ends and reinventing your old look into a completely new 'do, helped only by a few easy steps.

Straight & sleek bob hairstyles.
Straight, sleek and sharp, a style that may appear uncomplicated and quite basic, but that in fact hides the power to transform your bob in the most unexpected ways. Taking cues from the runways we saw a quirky straight bob with a fringe at A. Detacher, and a bob style dipped in simplicity with a mussed-up, natural part at Altuzarra.

At Jason Wu spring 2014, Odile Gilbert wanted the hair to look expensive, hence the slick-straight, parted in the middle bob, while at Tommy Hilfiger the bob was all about channeling the active lifestyle of California, with sleek, effortless locks blowing in the wind.

Wet-look bob.
The wet-look hair is perhaps the most accessible styling option transitioning into 2014 that allows you to elevate the bob by taking the different path, leading either to a sleek and savage finish, much like the one sported by the models at 3.1 Phillip Lim, or to a dramatic texture like the one we witnessed on the catwalk at Felder Felder spring 2014.
At 3.1 Phillip Lim, Paul Hanlon wanted the models to look as they washed up on a deserted beach, with the hair deconstructed but barring a contemporary feel, diffused dry for a chunky, dreadlock finish. With a collection inspired by the underwater world, it comes as no surprise that the hair at Felder Felder was decidedly a wet look, as well. Jonny Engstrom at Guy Kremer soaked the models hair, sweeping it back off the face, for a look mirroring the same effect obtained when stepping out of the water.

Messy bob hairstyles.
Decidedly more dramatic, ready to complement the good girl gone bad attitude, the messy bed-hair texture throve on the spring 2014 runways as if to update the classic bob haircut into an infinitely edgier style.
Wild and messy, the bob style at Jean Paul Gaultier spring 2014 went hand in hand with the high-energy accompanying the collection, having the beauty references span over many different decades. At Saint Laurent, the bobs appeared to be built upon the models natural textures, at Jill Stuart the hair was rock and roll, with the bob made modern with a play on texture, while at Vionnet the nearly-dreadlocked bobs served as the perfect contrast to the simple array of clothes shaping the collection.

Slicked back bob.
A bit Amazonian and a bit sporty, this is how hairstylist Anthony Turner perceived the models at the Anthony Vaccarello spring 2014 presentation. Borrowing inspiration from the early '90s Cindy Crawford, the hair looked casually combed back away from the face with the fingers, "still uptown, rather than downtown". At Viktor & Rolf instead, the sides were slicked back for a faux undercut style, keeping the bob within modern punk limits.

Distinctive details.
Of course, the whole point of undergoing a drastic change in hairstyle is most of the times strictly related to you trying to differentiate yourself from the others. If the styling fails short, you can always push the boundaries and opt for a cropped fringe to finish off your bob, or go for a brave ombre effect, much like the one sported by the models at Marc Jacobs (forgetting for one instance that the models wore actual wigs).
The nineties vibe defining Carven's spring 2014 collection was beyond inspiring when it comes to the hairstyling part. A sleek side-parted bob was made exquisite with a single-stranded braid chosen to separate two sections of hair. Creative, distinctive, effortless, the perfect antidote for ordinary hair.

Bob hairstyle tutorials / how tos.
How to create a sexy, textured bob: 3 tutorials for short hair
Sleek might be a sophisticated way to carry off a bob, but there's always the option to go for a textured finish to mix it up. From a little bit of feminine tousle to all-out texture, here's how to get several variations on the look.
Vintage wavy bob
This tutorial is all about creating a vintage-inspired bob – without the need for scissors. A faux-bob that tucks under with pins, it's a soft bobbed hairstyle perfect for adding accessories to. Follow the link to find out how to create a vintage wavy bob.
Flapper bob
Something akin to a modern take on finger waves, this flapper bob is another hairstyle inspired by the 1920s but updated for the now. It's perfect for those who have the real deal – a bob haircut – but you can also fake it by doing this as a faux bob.
1960s bob
Volume, texture and sex-kitten appeal are the foundations of a great 1960s mod bob. Even if you're not dedicated to having this style all the time, a bob can shape-shift into a retro feeling style in no time. Follow the link for haircut and styling tips.
Shoulder length hairstyles: tutorials / how tos.
Waved bob
If you're opting for a shoulder-length bob then you'll want other styling options apart from keeping it straight and sleek. Here's one: a longer waved bob with a bit of texture and tousle. Follow the link for the tutorial.
The trend in 2013
The bob hairstyle: who's wearing it.
When a big name model debuts a dramatic hair change, it's always big news. Thus Karlie Kloss getting a bob was automatically newsworthy in the short-hair stakes. Karlie's choppy chin-length bob was cut with a wispy fringe.

Another example of the bob comes from English model Edie Campbell. Her hair was previously near to waist-length, making this a particularly dramatic change. Like Karlie Kloss, Edie's bob comes with bangs.

Brazilian model Aline Weber cut her hair to a blunt, chin-length bob during the spring 2013 season. Since then it's been styled in numerous ways, from mod bob to ultra-modern. If you doubted the versatility of the style, look no further.

Shoulder length hair: the bob alternative in 2013.
By definition a bob is short and relatively blunt, but as for the exact length – that's open to interpretation. If you're not game to go for an ultra-short flapper style bob, or even a chin-length one, then here's another option for 2013: the shoulder length bob.
Taking the style of the bob but adding some extra length, a shoulder-length cut with blunt edges gives off a bob vibe without taking out too much length.

Best practices for temple rejuvenation
An expert panel discusses best practices and techniques at the 2013 Vegas Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology meeting.
What product do you choose for temple revolumization, what device do you use to inject, and in what plane do you inject?
Amy Taub, M.D., dermatologist, Chicago: For the temple, I inject deeply to bone and use a bolus technique. The two fillers I use on the temple are Perlane (hyaluronic acid/HA, Medicis/Valeant) and Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid, Valeant), depending on the patient. I slowly advance the needle until I hit bone and then pull back on the needle to make sure I am not in a vessel. I inject slowly and let the material gradually fill in the hollow. Assess, mold, and, if necessary, reinject.
Michael Persky, M.D., plastic surgeon, Encino, Calif: If the patient has time I prefer Sculptra in the temple area. I inject deep, supraperiosteally, with a 25-gauge 1-1/2 inch needle. If the patient's daughter or son is getting married in a month or two and they want an immediate, quick filling of their temple, then I like to use either Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite, Merz), or a mixed Juvéderm (cross-linked HA, Allergan) or Perlane with saline and lidocaine. I inject those fillers with a cannula more superficially — on top of the temporalis fascia. When I use a cannula I dilute all of the products. Val Lambrose, M.D., a plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, Calif., has done great work in this area using one part Juvéderm, one part saline and one part 1 percent lidocaine without epinephrine. He has gotten incredible results. The products seem to last long and it also makes it a lot easier to inject. Radiesse has much better flow when it is diluted with lidocaine.
Rebecca Fitzgerald, M.D., dermatologist, Los Angeles: I use a couple of things in the temple. I do the Val Lambros dilution solution technique, too, where you can do a two to one dilution with a hyaluronic acid. I use a cannula and I put it on the superficial temporalis fascia. That works very well for me right around the temporal crest. And I use a lot of Sculptra deeply underneath the temporalis fascia. I use it with a needle and I reflux before I put the Sculptra in. And I just want to share experience — in the HIV clinic, we would sometimes inject 12 or 18 people a day, and we'd do it a couple of times a week.
We were using a long needle and we were right on periosteum. We did that for years and it was not uncommon to reflux blood. It wasn't every day that you'd reflux blood, but it wasn't uncommon. What I speculate is that we were pushing the vessel down and pinning it, and then you would pull back blood. But I think that you can hit a vessel down there. And we know that the external and internal carotid circulation is all intermixed. And we know that there have been cases of blindness reported with injectables all over the face and that area is no exception to the rule. So you just want to do anything you can not to inject intravascularly.
Welf Prager, M.D., dermatologist, Hamburg, Germany: I used to inject Radiesse on a deep plane close to the bone but I found out that the surface — the transitions from the cheekbones to the forehead — was not as smooth as I would wish and so I changed to a subdermal injection with blunt cannulas. The product I mainly use is Belotero Balance (HA, Merz) because it has the viscosity where you can smooth it out nicely and get the transitions to the eyebrow, to the forehead, and also to the cheekbones evened out.
Derek Jones, M.D., dermatologist, Los Angeles: This is such an excellent question and I have really firm ideas on this. The temple is really easy if you do it properly. In my opinion, you want to be right down on bone. My needle is usually three quarters of an inch to an inch, minimum. I inject pretty much in bolus. I might put a few aliquots around but you're right down on bone. If you were anywhere more superficial than that, sitting somewhere in the middle ground, there are a lot of vessels tracking in and around there — I have some interesting reports coming out on that — I think you're asking for a problem. My problem with injecting more superficially and we've seen injectors at this course treating this way and some of our own panelists doing it. There are a lot of vessels there and I have had a lot of patients who come into my office who have been injected elsewhere superficially and there are contour irregularities. It's pretty thin skin up here on the temple on a lot of individuals, especially older individuals. So it's just like the tear trough, if you're injecting something superficially, once everything settles down the contour may not be just perfect. I do a lot of temporal injections. I go straight down the bone and I use a fairly high G prime line product like Radiesse. I think (Juvéderm) Voluma (Allergan) will be very promising there.
Michael Kane, M.D., plastic surgeon, New York: I think temples are probably technically the easiest area of the face to inject as long as you don't make a contour irregularity. I would inject any product there — calcium or HA. If given my first choice of what looks best, I think it's Sculptra, but I don't inject it deeply. I inject it superficially. When I'm injecting Sculptra I try to scrape right along the undersurface of the dermis because that's where the fibroblasts are. And I like to try to thicken that dermis. I think you can hide some of the vessels there.
And I think the key to reducing embolic phenomena, which is what we're talking about, is really a slow rate of injection. I'm generally not an aspirator but then I do not inject with my needle in one place. I'm constantly, constantly moving the needle and I inject at a very, very slow rate. So in the one-in-a-million chance I cannulate an arteriole, I'm out of it in a second without an appreciable amount of product being in there.
Susan Weinkle, M.D., dermatologist, Bradenton, Fla.: I personally like to inject both deep and superficial. I think one concern we need to have when we're teaching our colleagues in terms of deep injections is the needles that come in the package with an HA often are a half-inch needle, and it is very difficult in some patients to get all the way down to that supraperiosteal plane with that short needle. I think you're at much greater risk if you are not on the supraperiosteal plane to have an inadvertent injection of the deep temporal artery.
I recently did a cadaver dissection in Shanghai and almost fell over when I realized where the deep temporal arteries are located. It is vitally important, as we've all discussed on this panel, that when doing a deep injection to get down to the bone, feel the bone, and know where you are.
I reflux as well and then do a bolus injection in the deep plane. I find that some patients still need a superficial injection if they have a lot of loss. However, with those thin-skinned elderly patients that I have, there have been a few times where I have not reconstituted the product and I was not happy with the irregular contour. So live and learn. I think that's the exciting thing about a panel like this where we can really share tips that have helped us.
I utilize a deep injecting and sometimes an icing-on-the-cake superficial injection. If injecting superficially, I would recommend reconstituting and thinning an HA or Radiesse in order to obtain a smooth, even contour.
No cryptic cartel, the American Medical Association (AMA)/Specialty Society Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC) is an indispensable piece of the healthcare payment puzzle that beats less logical options that have been proposed, dermatologists say.

How Do You Find the Right Fuel Injector?
A fuel injector injects and delivers fuel to your engine's combustion chambers for proper burning. This is a small, electronically controlled valve that forces fuel through a nozzle and sprays it evenly toward the pistons. An even spray pattern and the right air/fuel mixture is necessary for efficient combustion, so you need a good fuel injector to ensure the precise amount of gas is delivered to the engine at all times.
Types of fuel injectors
You need to know the different types of fuel injector available in the market before finding the right one for your car. The throttle-body injector is the most basic type, and it functions more like a computerized carburetor. Located on top of the engine, it consists of a single injector that delivers fuel to all cylinders. A throttle-body injector is less precise than the other types, as it is the earliest fuel injection device to enter the market after the decline of traditional carburetors. Since it has only one injector, not all fuel may enter the cylinders. If you're the budget-conscious type, the throttle-body injector is the best choice because it costs less and is easier to maintain.
Multi-port fuel injectors are more advanced than single-port, throttle-body injectors. These injectors spray fuel simultaneously into the cylinders, and they are highly efficient in metering gas into the engine, resulting in better, more precise fuel delivery. Multi-port fuel injectors don't come cheap, but they do offer more power and greater fuel economy. If you want to enjoy these benefits, then you must be willing to pay the price and shell out more money.
Sequential multi-port fuel injectors are the most advanced and offer the most precise fuel delivery. Each injector is programmed to spray fuel to a particular cylinder right before it fires unlike the multi-port, which delivers fuel simultaneously. Quicker response, better fuel economy, and greater power per stroke are just some of the benefits of this type of injector. However, this can be quite heavy on the pocket, so you have to weigh the pros and cons first before purchasing it.
Fuel injector replacement cost
The simplest type of fuel injector is relatively cheap and may cost as low as $25. Depending on the brand and function, some fuel injectors may go over $100. Double this amount for labor costs if you don't plan on doing the repair and replacement yourself. For high-end vehicles, replacement and labor costs may go up to $300. If you want to save more money, purchase a fuel injector that fits your car's specs and follow the instructions on the installation manual. DIY repair is definitely the way to go if you want less expenses.

How to Replace Your Fuel Injector
Fuel injectors deliver a precise amount of fuel to the cylinders for optimum fuel combustion. This pressurized fuel is necessary to keep your engine running at peak operating performance. Damaged fuel injectors will not be able to spray fuel into the combustion chambers properly, creating an imbalance in the air/fuel mixture. This can affect the engine's operation, so you need to replace a busted fuel injector right away. Here are the tools you'll need and the steps in replacing a damaged fuel injector:
Difficulty level: Difficult
Tools that you need:
- Flathead screwdriver
- Allen socket
- Fuel injector puller
- Open-end wrench
- Rags
- Safety glasses
- Protective equipment (gloves, closed-toe shoes)
Step 1: Start by disconnecting the fuel pump relay and main fuel line. Discharge the fuel lines first for safer fuel injector removal.
Step 2: Loosen the screws holding the fuel rail connector to the engine block. Disconnect all wiring connected to the rail and tug it away from your fuel injectors.
Step 3: Unclip the electrical wiring connected to the busted fuel injector. Using a fuel injector puller, pull out the said fuel injector. You can do this by sliding the puller underneath lip in the housing and popping out the injector.
Step 4: A hole is left open in the intake manifold once the damaged fuel injector is popped out. Leave it open but don't let anything fall inside it. Be very careful with the open hole, as this will require additional repair work if it gets damaged. Give the new injector seals proper lubrication first before you install them.
Step 5: Place a new fuel injector inside the hole. Reconnect all wirings and tighten the screws back in place. Reconnect the main fuel rail to the engine block. Do a road test to confirm if the fuel injectors were installed correctly.

Classic Hot Dog Chili Sauce from Haute Dog by Russell Van Kraayenburg
For many of us, a "hot dog" really means "chili hog dog." In Haute Dog, Russell Van Kraayenburg offers dozens of hot dog recipes, from both the United States and around the world. The US versions are often slathered in chili sauce. I have fond memories of Roakes in Portland, Oregon, and I'm always in search of a way to duplicate that secret recipe.
I have not tested this recipe, yet, or its variations that Russell discusses. But below is Russell's well considered recipe for Classic Hot Dog Chili. It's a basic recipe that can be transformed into any of the 8 varieties of chili sauce presented in Haute Dog. I invite you to look at the book for the specific details of these variations:
- Greek: no cumin or cayenne, but with oregano, cinnamon and allspice
- Coney Island: no cumin or cayenne, instead yellow mustard and tomato sauce instead of paste
- Rhode Island: adding ground mustard and celery salt
- Rochester: ground mustard and paprika added
- District: ground mustard, coriander, a bay leaf, and vinegar
I compared Russell's basic recipe with others and they all share the same basic ingredients, but, to his advantage, Russell wisely uses real garlic and onion instead of the onion and garlic powders that frequent many recipes. He's making this chili from scratch and that can only benefit us. Besides this basic recipe, I'll be trying the variations above, looking for a particularly great taste and perhaps something close to Roakes.
Your childhood memory may be stirred here, recognizing the flavor sparks that mustard or paprika or vinegar added to those neighborhood dogs you grew up with.
My experiments begin this week, and I will report in. One note, Russell says this recipe produces 1 quart of sauce, enough for 4 hot dogs. That's one cup of sauce per dog. I interpret that as a forewarning, if not proof beyond a reasonable doubt, that he is a hot dog extremist.
Classic Hot Dog Chili Sauce
Yield: 1 quart of sauce [can be frozen]
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large white onions, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon ground chili power
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup beef stock
- 8 ounces tomato paste
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the salt, black pepper, chili powder, cumin cayenne, and beef. Cook until beef is browned and no trace of pink remains.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add beef stock and tomato paste. Stir until evenly combined. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Power Breakfast: Mexican Style
Power. Our lives revolve around power. Not the Con Ed power. The power of people, organizations and nations. Our lives are shaped by power and we endlessly debate and classify power: economic, military, cultural, ….
You can read or hear the debates about American power. We are dead, we will rise again, we are doomed by China, Putin is rational for a guy running a third rate country but is only a thorn in our side. I read and I listen. The problems now are different yet the portrayals of rise or fall have been with us through our history. I no longer panic. And, actually, instead I have become rather mellow. For I have learned which country is the most powerful. At least until 10 AM.
It's Mexico. Because Mexican breakfasts are singularly the best. Thank about your American breakfast, that brownish mélange. Toast, bagels, muffins, oatmeal, cereal, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs…. There's brown in every bite. Yum. How inspiring.
Now, look at that picture above of Huevos Oaxaqueños. Imagine starting your day with this blast of color and flavor. All that is missing is a mariachi band. Veggies, cheese, chilies, eggs and more are combined here in calculated abandon. Most importantly, this recipe is quite robust. Suzen had a basket of purple tomatillos which where chopped and added to the morning march. You, too, should take whatever liberties your kitchen counter and refrigerator offer.
I'm not a breakfast person, except on Sundays. Too often I find the American carbo breakfast to be an anchor I have to pull through the morning. This Mexican fare is just the opposite: fiery and inspiring.
This lovely recipe is from a Better Homes and Garden Special Interest Publication, Mexican. This annual publication was available this spring but was to be pulled by April 1. Lucky me. I found my copy upstate and you might be able to scour about and find one too. This issue is 120 pages of ideas that begin with breakfast but last thru the day.
Oh, on the side? That Suzen's pepper bread with cream cheese and raspberry jalapeno jam. Unabated flavor.
Huevos Oaxaqueños
Yield: 4 servings
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 small fresh Anaheim chili pepper, stemmed, seed, and chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried savory or cilantro, crushed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- Crumbled queso fresco
- Fresh cilantro springs, optional
- Corn tortillas, warmed, optional
In a skillet cook the onion, chili pepper, and garlic in hot oil over medium heat about 5 minutes or until tender. Add the tomatoes, zucchini, dried savory or cilantro and salt. Cook for 5 minutes or until the tomatoes release their liquid and the zucchini is tender
Break one of the eggs into a measuring cup. Carefully slide the egg into the tomato mixture in the skillet. Repeat with the remaining three eggs. , allowing each egg an equal amount of space in the tomato mixture. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are completely set and the yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Sprinkle with queso fresco.
If desired, serve with fresh cilantro sprigs and warm corn tortillas.
Spoon sauce over game hens and surround with remaining wild rice.

Thank you for participating in our poll. Here are the results so far:
The Minnesota Vikings suffered their biggest loss of the season Sunday when they were blitzed by the Bengals, and once again, rumors abound that the team may be about to lose their head coach.
As far as Leslie Frazier is concerned, the future that he's focused on is the final game of the season against Detroit this coming Sunday. He hopes they'll finish with one last win, but even if they do, the Vikings will finish with 10 or more losses in two of his three full seasons at the helm.
The mood at Winter Park was glum on Monday afternoon, especially considering that Christmas is just two days away. After the 42-14 beating the team took at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals, Frazier knows a lot of the good will the team had built up with their last two wins has been soured.
Of course, some of the team's troubles have been outside the coach's control, but with one year left on his contract, the team's record could mean Frazier will soon be on the outs.
Frazier said neither he nor his agent have spoken with the Wilfs or General Manager Rick Spielman about his future with the Vikings. Rather, Frazier said he needs to set a good example of preparation, priority and focus for his players.
Adrian Peterson has said he plans to go to management and make the case to keep Frazier on board, but it remains to be seen how much influence the MVP has with his bosses.

Criticism of the Minerals Management Service Offshore Oil Drilling Plans and Projects
Rating: Mountain (issue somewhat unclear)
The charges
The explosion on the BP (British Petroleum) Deepwater Horizon oil rig on April 20, 2010 and the resulting catastrophic oil leak into the Gulf of Mexico have exposed the federal agency charged with overseeing offshore drilling—the Minerals Management Service (MMS)1—to intense public scrutiny.
A series of investigations and leaked documents had already uncovered MMS's long history of explicit abuses of science and egregious ethics violations under the Bush administration. Current and former MMS scientists state that they have "repeatedly had their scientific findings changed to indicate no environmental impact or had their calculations of spill risks downgraded."2
In this article we address the claims that those abuses of science have continued at MMS as the Obama administration sought to expand offshore drilling. In particular we consider two claims: (1) that MMS underestimated the frequency of oil spills and the magnitude of potential environmental harm in drafting its 5-Year Plan for offshore drilling, and (2) that MMS routinely granted permits for oil drilling and exploration in violation of environmental statutes.
(1) Scientific Criticism of MMS's Five-Year Plans for Offshore Oil Drilling
On March 31, 2010, President Obama announced new plans to open up large parts of the East Coast (from Delaware to the central coast of Florida), the southeast Gulf Coast, and the north coast of Alaska to oil drilling.3 The announcement coincided with a request for public comment in preparation for an environmental impact statement (EIS) for a new 2012 to 2017 5-Year oil and gas leasing program.4 The new plan is to replace the 2010 to 2015 Draft Proposed Program (DPP) developed under the Bush Administration.5
The earlier 2010 to 2015 DPP had come under criticism from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In a September 2009 letter, NOAA director Jane Lubchenco provided comments on the draft plan and criticized MMS for a number of scientific errors and omissions.6 For example, NOAA charged that MMS understated the frequency of oil spills by using data from 1973 to 2004 and neglecting recent data from years 2005 and onwards, which would have given a more accurate portrayal of the dangers of offshore drilling due to Hurricane Katrina and other storms that occurred in 2005 and subsequent years.7
NOAA also charged that "the DPP's analysis of the risks and impacts of accidental spills and chronic impacts are understated and generally not supported or referenced" and that MMS failed to fully evaluate such factors as climate change, invasive species and underwater noise pollution.8 NOAA also warned that "lease areas should not be further considered in the DPP until the CEQ [Council on Environmental Quality]-led Ocean Policy Task Force has released its recommendations and directives," a report that has yet to be published.9
Was it political interference in science?
Unclear. NOAA's criticisms apply to a document prepared under the Bush administration (2010 to 2015 DPP), but it is uncertain how many of these concerns carry over to the Obama administration's new plan (2012 to 2017 DPP).10 It is also unclear whether incidents of explicit abuse of science have continued under the Obama administration, although statements in the press give reason to believe that they have.
The Obama administration is accepting public comment on its preparation and scoping of an EIS but it has not yet released an official draft of the 2012 to 2017 program (in contradiction to the process described on their website), so it is unclear whether the problems identified by NOAA have been addressed. However, while the new 2012 to 2017 proposal limits the geographic areas considered for oil and gas lease sales in comparison to the 2010 to 2015 DPP, it does leave open the possibility of drilling in certain regions where NOAA had voiced explicit concerns.
NOAA expressed particular reservations over drilling off the coasts of Alaska because of the pristine environment in those regions and the high value of the local fisheries. In their letter, NOAA recommended excluding the North Aleutian Basin (Bristol Bay and Bering Sea shelf), certain blocks in the Chukchi Sea within 25 miles of the coast, and numerous other "Sensitive Areas" in other regions.11
The new 2012 to 2017 plan does indeed protect Alaska's Bristol Bay from future drilling, removes several regions from consideration for exploration and reduces the area of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico region under consideration for drilling. On May 27, 2010, President Obama announced, at a news conference on the federal government's response to the disastrous Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the suspension of planned exploration in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas off the coast of Alaska. However, it remains to be seen if NOAA's concerns about numerous "Sensitive Areas" and other issues will be addressed in the new plan.
Although a NOAA spokesperson recently stated that "the [2012 to 2017] plan included more detailed assessments of the environmental impact on marine habitats and endangered species, as well climate change and ocean acidification,"12 it is not clear whether all of NOAA's concerns have been addressed – particularly, the impacts to fisheries and Alaska natives and the need for updated data on the frequency of oil spills, among other gaps in information. Additionally, although the CEQ-led Ocean Policy Task Force released an interim report in September 2009, it has not released its final report, one which NOAA commented is crucial to the consideration of lease areas in the DPP.13
The Secretary of the Interior is not required to follow NOAA's recommendations in drafting a 5-Year Program for oil and gas leasing. Under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), the Secretary must consider suggestions from "any interested Federal agency" during the preparation of the leasing program.14
(2) Exemptions for Oil Drilling and Exploration Projects
The Deepwater Horizon disaster has also brought to light the fact that MMS approved hundreds of oil drilling and exploration projects without obtaining the necessary permits designed to protect endangered whales and other marine mammals under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). Despite an announced moratorium on approvals of new oil projects, MMS appears to be continuing to approve new projects.15
Further, it was revealed that MMS exempted BP's Deepwater Horizon project from a thorough environmental review by giving them a "categorical exclusion" – a loophole in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) that is intended to apply only to minimally intrusive projects. The exclusion came after several MMS reviews of the project area concluded that an oil spill was unlikely to occur and, if it did, would be limited in scope and impact.16
The Center for Biological Diversity has announced lawsuits to end both of these practices in the approval of offshore oil drilling projects.17
Was it political interference in science?
Yes. Evading legally mandated scientific requirements—such as conducting environmental impact assessments under NEPA or obtaining permits or consultations under the ESA and MMPA—is a serious mark against the scientific integrity of MMS decision making.
What is the best way to ensure scientific integrity?
It is clear that the entire process for approving offshore oil drilling projects has been discredited and the Department of the Interior needs to take significant steps to reform the process and ensure that scientific information is no longer manipulated to justify rapid approval. In June 2010, DOI divided MMS into three separate agencies, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, and Office of Natural Resources Revenue.

The Village of Heritage Ranch was established in 1972 and is located in the northern part of San Luis Obispo County. Over a dozen subdivisions make for a wide variety of housing types and price ranges. The master plan provides for 2900 residential units.
The Heritage Ranch Community Services District (HRCSD) was originally formed in 1990 to provide local control of service for water and sewer to the Village of Heritage Ranch. More than 70% of the voters approved the formation of the District in the November 1989 election. The function of Parks & Recreation was added in 1992 the voters approved adding Parks & Recreation ostensibly to facilitate a golf course. While the golf course did not materialize, the addition of this function did allow for the construction of the Don Everingham Senior Center on District property in 1998. In 1996, the addition of Solid Waste Removal was added. The Board took the initiative to propose taking trash removal over from the County and it was approved by the voters. HRCSD is a public agency, governed by a five member Board of Directors whom reside at the Ranch.
HRCSD is 5,361 acres in size, bordered by Lake Nacimiento, Camp Roberts and privately owned land. Over 1,700 parcels are served by water and sewer treatment plants using over 42 miles of buried pipeline and numerous pump stations. Administration and operation of District facilities is handled by a staff of eight, plus professional assistance for legal, financial and engineering matters.
The purpose and mission of HRCSD is to provide municipal services to the village of Heritage Ranch in a manner that is efficient, safe and in accordance with applicable law. These services include the supply of drinking water, the disposal of wastewater, removal of solid waste, parks and recreation.

You Are Here: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force > Topic Index > Counseling: Skin Cancer > Clinical Summary
Behavioral Counseling to Prevent Skin Cancer
Clinical Summary of U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation
Release Date: May 2012
|Children, adolescents, and young adults aged 10 to 24 years with fair skin
|Adults older than age 24 years
|Provide counseling about minimizing exposure to ultraviolet radiation to reduce risk for skin cancer.
Grade: B
|No recommendation.
Grade: I
(Insufficient Evidence)
|Risk Assessment
|Individuals with a fair skin type are at greatly increased risk for skin cancer. Fair skin type can be defined by eye and hair color; freckling; and historical factors, such as usual reaction to sun exposure (always or usually burning or infrequently tanning).
|Behavioral Counseling
|Effective counseling interventions were generally of low intensity and almost entirely accomplished within the primary care visit.
Successful counseling interventions used cancer prevention or appearance-focused messages (such as stressing the aging effect of ultraviolet radiation on the skin) to reach specific audiences.
|Behavior change interventions are aimed at reducing ultraviolet radiation exposure. Sun-protective behaviors include the use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor ≥15, wearing hats or other shade-protective clothing, avoiding the outdoors during midday hours (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.), and avoiding the use of indoor tanning.
|Balance of Harms and Benefits
|For children, adolescents, and young adults aged 10 to 24 years with fair skin, primary care counseling interventions can increase the use of sun-protective behaviors by a moderate amount, with no appreciable harms.
|For adults older than 24 years, there is inadequate evidence to determine the effect of counseling on the use of sun-protective behaviors.
|Other Relevant USPSTF Recommendations
|The USPSTF has made recommendations on screening for skin cancer. These recommendations are available at http://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/.
For a summary of the evidence systematically reviewed in making these recommendations, the full recommendation statement, and supporting documents, please go to http://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org.
Disclaimer: Recommendations made by the USPSTF are independent of the U.S. government. They should not be construed as an official position of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

I am usually a size 2 and XS in FP, and this dress(ordered in XS) looks a bit too loose on me. The length is just right on my 5'8" frame. It doesn't fit as well as the other FP dresses I own, probably owing to it being too loose and having too many layers. I think this dress would only look nice on very tall girls with small chests, but needs to be downsized beforehand of course."

When Dr. Jeffrey Piccirillo moved to the small college town of Grinnell, Iowa, the Joliet surgeon had been sued multiple times over allegations of malpractice, personal injury and negligence. In 2003, less than a year earlier, he had filed for bankruptcy.
Things didn't go much better for Piccirillo in Iowa. Within a few years, he was battling another lawsuit, this time from a knee surgery patient alleging that he failed to properly diagnose a fracture and prevent it from worsening, according to court records.
Illinois followed.
Now Piccirillo, 48, has started over again as one of Illinois' and Iowa's few "Lyme-literate" doctors — physicians who are willing to treat the dubious diagnosis of chronic Lyme disease.
Lyme disease is real. The bacterial infection, chiefly transmitted by deer ticks, can cause rashes, swollen joints and inflamed nerves, and usually is curable with a round of antibiotics.
But some doctors are telling patients with common medical problems such as back pain, poor concentration and fatigue that their ailments stem from a chronic form of Lyme disease that can evade standard laboratory testing and treatment. To fight what they say is a persistent infection, the doctors often order months or years of antibiotics, which can cost patients tens of thousands of dollars, often out-of-pocket.
Both the Infectious Diseases Society of America and the American Academy of Neurology have concluded there's little evidence this form of Lyme disease exists. These professional medical organizations also say there is strong evidence from clinical trials that long courses of multiple antibiotics are pointless and even dangerous.
In a lengthy statement to the Tribune, Piccirillo wrote that he is a "Lyme disease survivor" and that he is dedicating himself to the care of Lyme patients. He said he is treating dozens of patients each week, many for Lyme.
"Lyme disease is personal to me," he wrote. "It's my forte, my passion."
His past problems are irrelevant to his current work, Piccirillo wrote.
"The matters you address are prior to the beginning of my practice," he wrote. "I have trained hard in the area of Lyme disease to provide the type of care I hope to perfect over time. … I aspire to be a better care provider than I ever was in my previous work."
In an online forum for patients where Piccirillo is referred to as "Dr. P," one patient posted a link to the Iowa board's action against him and said the doctor had explained it to her without prompting.
"Once you learn the reason, I think you will feel as confident in his care as I do," the patient wrote on the Road Back Foundation message board. She reported taking two antibiotics and a medication that treats protozoans.
After receiving his doctor of osteopathy degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1989, Piccirillo started practicing as an orthopedic surgeon in Joliet in the 1990s.
By 2002, he was earning more than $500,000 a year and living in a nearly 8,000-square-foot home, according to court records. After he declared bankruptcy in 2003, assets listed in court filings included a Hummer, a Jeep, a Porsche and a 39-foot boat valued at about $100,000.
In an email, Piccirillo said he went bankrupt because of the failure of a Joliet restaurant in which he had invested.
Among the lawsuits referenced in his bankruptcy filings was that of Susan Sweet, a patient who sued the surgeon in 2004. Sweet alleged that Piccirillo failed to give her antibiotics before or after he operated on her broken ankle in 2002 and that she developed an ongoing infection that was improperly treated.
Sweet's mobility was never the same after the surgery, according to sister Lori Phillips. Because Sweet was unable to stand to cook, the sisters were forced to close a Joliet catering business they ran together, Phillips said. Sweet developed other health problems, she said, and died at 56 of a heart attack last year.
Court records show that the case was voluntarily dismissed, but as part of Piccirillo's bankruptcy process, Sweet was awarded $2,695.95 on a $1 million claim.

Four months before Mitt Romney signed his health care plan into law in Massachusetts in 2006, he told a conservative group that the state's tax code would be the hammer that would make the plan work.
For those who refused to comply with the state's mandate to buy health insurance, he said in remarks to the Heritage Foundation, "they are going to lose their personal tax exemption." he said "We will withhold any of their tax refund," .
As the Massachusetts governor and then as a presidential candidate, Mr. Romney spent the next six years describing in a variety of different ways the possible punishments for ignoring the Massachusetts mandate. But regardless of the terms he used, his intentions were clear: Massachusetts residents who chose not to buy health insurance would see their state income taxes go up.
Now, as he battles President Obama for the White House, Mr. Romney is asking voters to condemn his rival for a health insurance mandate that is nearly identical to the one he championed in Massachusetts… in effect he also asked voters to ignore his own record."
The New York Times, "In Defending His Health Care Plan, Romney Called His Mandate A Tax."
Hey, Republicans? Just so you know, Mitt Romney thinks you are a bunch of stupid, amnesiac louts.
(via inothernews)
I think it speaks to how out of touch Mitt Romney is in that the only penalty was withholding the tax refund. My refund has never been more than $200, which is probably cheaper than actually buying healthcare. And what if they actually owed taxes?
(via zombiesarejerks)
(via zombiesarejerks)
According to a study in Health Affairs, there have been many improvements in access and care quality under the 2006 Massachusetts law then Governor Mitt Romney created a universal health care system that would become the template for the health care reform bill signed into law by President Obama in 2010. Their experience can provide an indication of how President Obama's health care reform will work.
Like the federal Affordable Care Act, Massachusetts takes a hybrid approach to increasing coverage, encouraging people to get health insurance in the private market and subsidizing the cost for those who can't afford it. More businesses in Massachusetts offer their employees private health care today than did before the law was signed by Governor Romney in April 2006, and the 77 percent of the state's businesses who offer their employees private insurance is well above the national average.
The 2006 law didn't do anything about controlling costs, which were already among the nation's highest. So now the conversation has turned to cost control, and some very interesting things are beginning to happen. Listen to some of the story.

The 327 TRR8 is a revolver-style BB pistol that has 6 removable metal casings inside the swing-out cylinder. The adjustable fiber optic sights and integrated Picatinny rails are just some of the great accessories on this gun. This is a great plinking gun or even a great target shooting pistol.
