An Honest Liberal: "My view [is] that the president, has in fact, exceeded his authority in a way that is creating a destabilizing influence in a three branch system. I want to emphasize, of course, this problem didn't begin with President Obama, I was critical of his predecessor President Bush as well, but the rate at which executive power has been concentrated in our system is accelerating. And frankly, I am very alarmed by the implications of that aggregation of power...What also alarms me, however, is that the two other branches appear not just simply passive, but inert in the face of this concentration of authority. The fact that I happen to think the president is right on many of these policies does not alter the fact that I believe the means he is doing [it] is wrong, and that this can be a dangerous change in our system, and our system is changing in a very fundamental way. And it's changing without a whimper of regret or opposition." - Constitutional Law Professor Jonathan Turley, testifying before Congress that President Obama is bringing us to "a constitutional tipping point".
Millions Of Americans Are Lying About Higher Health Care Costs For The Koch Brothers, Or Something: "There are plenty of [Obamacare] horror stories being told. All of them are untrue...These two [Koch] brothers are trying to buy America" - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), who claimed the Republicans and Koch Brothers are lying about the Obamacare hardships people are experiencing.
When progressives disagree with what I write, which is often (because I frequently criticize progressive policies, especially in the areas of business and economics, and I'm no fan of Barack Obama), they generally react with a tirade against Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and the Koch Brothers, as if that unholy trio (in progressive eyes) is somehow directing my words. It's bizarre how often this happens. It's kind of a progressive firewall against actually having to confront unpleasant information they'd rather not think about.
As funny as I find this progressive knee-jerk reaction, especially when I provide links TELLING progressives where my information is coming from (generally not Fox News, and I can't recall ever using Rush or the Kochs as a source), today I'm going to tell progressives what sparked this post, being as concerned for their mental well-being as I am.
From the ACLU, here's what the NDAA is:
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is a federal law specifying the budget and expenditures of the United States Department of Defense (DOD). Each year's act also includes other provisions, some related to civil liberties.
This is a story I was going to pass on initially, but the more I learned about it, the more troubling it became.
As has been in the news, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), a government agency, was going to undertake something they called a "Multi-Market Study Of Critical Information Needs", in which they were going to send FCC researchers into newsrooms across the country to determine if news organizations were meeting the "critical needs" of the public. The FCC said the study was:
President Obama has proposed raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $10.10 per hour by 2016. The Democrats are aligned with their President, and a wide majority of the American public also wants to raise the minimum wage. Republicans are against it. House Republicans unanimously voted down an amendment to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 last year.
Enter the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which estimated the following effects from a minimum wage hike to $10.10. This is from the L.A. Times:
The GOP has been in a tizzy lately over President Obama's use of executive orders to end run existing legislation. A bunch of House Republicans have co-sponsored the Stop This Overreaching Presidency (STOP) resolution to take legal action against the President. Here's what the GOP is complaining about with STOP. From The Hill:
"...the STOP resolution is aimed at reversing Obama's delay of the [Obamacare] employer mandate, enactment of the Dream Act, extension of "substandard" health insurance plans and ending work requirements for welfare".
My left-wing blogger pal, The Reverend, went on one of his anti-capitalism rants the other day in a post titled, "The Failure Of U.S. Capitalism". Upon reading that familiar left-wing tirade against capitalism, my first thought was...if capitalism is a "failure", then what in the world has succeeded ? Nothing that I can see.
Let's look at some facts to test the Reverend's odd hypothesis.
Harry Dent, a Harvard Business School graduate who has also been referred to as a futurist, created the Spending Wave theory of economics in a 1993 book titled The Great Boom Ahead. Dent associated economic growth with demographics. He postulated that the massive baby boom population would spur economic growth as it reached it's peak spending age years (mid-40's to 54). The baby boom generation refers to those children born in the post-WWII years of 1946 to 1964. If you look at the birth rate chart at the previous link, you will see that the birth rate has dropped dramatically since the baby boom period ended, and is now lower than at any time in the 20th century.
When the boomers became adults (I'm using 18 as the age of adulthood), that means the boomer effect on consumer spending began in about 1964 and hit full stride in 1982. This boomer spending wave would be expected to continue until the boomers were past their peak spending years, all other economic factors being equal.
Here's another incredible statement from President Obama to Bill O'Reilly of Fox News during that pre-Super Bowl interview:
"We Have Not Massively Expanded The Welfare State".
In a recent interview with Bill O'Reilly of Fox News, President Obama, among many other incredible statements, asserted that there was "not even a smidgen or corruption" in the IRS targeting scandal. The President attributed the targeting, harassment, denial, and delay of tax-exempt status to nearly 300 Tea Party and other conservative groups (along with 6 liberal groups to make things look "unbiased", lol) to "bone-headed mistakes" on the part of the IRS.
Keeping the President's words in mind, I introduce you to Catherine Engelbrecht, small business owner and founder of King Steet Patriots, a Tea Party group that applied for tax exempt status. Engelbrecht testified last thursday before the House Oversight And Government Reform Committee looking into the IRS targeting allegations. Here is some of her testimony:

We were walking through the Zona Tortona—the old industrial district of Milan, where dozens of exhibitions pop up during the city's frenzied Design Week—when a colleague started playing a dance tune over his mobile phone. The song was featured in La Grande Belleza, a recent Italian film about the country's compulsive party lifestyle. "Just getting in the right mood," he said.
The pulse quickens, the heads swims, the gall rises: Milan is in full Salone, as the international design fair takes over the towns with hundreds of exhibitions, countless new prodects, and a full complement of events for the eager design enthusiasts that descend on the city. Like a steaming plate of carbonara, it scarcely matters where you start, since you'll never finish. We kicked things off at the Triennale Design Museumweaetxdyvaydzcwq.
Along with an elaborate glass and lighting installation from Blackbody and well-crafted shows from Korea and Hong Kong, the real show stopper was the retrospective "Italian Design Beyond the Crisis," a look at how the field has fared amidst the peculiar historical conditions confronting the country over the last seven decades. Austere desks and renderings by Gio Ponti; the compellingly enigmatic work of Gaetano Pesci; and heaps of pieces by lesser lights demonstrated design's response to Italy's changing politics and its alternating cycles of boom and bust.
From the Triennale it was down to Tortona, where the old loft spaces accommodate the kind of immersive installations that won't fit in the narrow booths of the Salone proper out at the Milan fairgrounds. Studio Job's wacky floor-to-ceiling wallpaper was so charming we felt bad walking on it; lighting specialist Lasvit's "Emotions" show, with work from Daniel Libeskind, AIA, Jakub Nepraš and others, was soothingly meditative. But as ever, the crowd favorite was Moooi, where the always charming Marcel Wanders was greeted guests with a specialty cocktail of his own invention: a gin and ginger beer combo that proved to be as light and insouciant as its creator.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain. If you have trigeminal neuralgia, even mild stimulation of your face — such as from brushing your teeth or putting on makeup — may trigger a jolt of excruciating pain.
You may initially experience short, mild attacks. But trigeminal neuralgia can progress and cause longer, more-frequent bouts of searing pain. Trigeminal neuralgia affects women more often than men, and it's more likely to occur in people who are older than 50.
Because of the variety of treatment options available, having trigeminal neuralgia doesn't necessarily mean you're doomed to a life of pain. Doctors usually can effectively manage trigeminal neuralgia with medications, injections or surgery.
Trigeminal neuralgia symptoms may include one or more of these patterns:
If you experience facial pain, particularly prolonged or recurring pain or pain unrelieved by over-the-counter pain relievers, see your doctor.
In trigeminal neuralgia, also called tic douloureux, the trigeminal nerve's function is disrupted. Usually, the problem is contact between a normal blood vessel — in this case, an artery or a vein — and the trigeminal nerve at the base of your brain. This contact puts pressure on the nerve and causes it to malfunction.
Trigeminal neuralgia can occur as a result of aging, or it can be related to multiple sclerosis or a similar disorder that damages the myelin sheath protecting certain nerves. Less commonly, trigeminal neuralgia can be caused by a tumor compressing the trigeminal nerve.
Some people may experience trigeminal neuralgia due to a brain lesion or other abnormalities. In other cases, surgical injuries, stroke or facial trauma may be responsible for trigeminal neuralgia.
A variety of triggers may set off the pain of trigeminal neuralgia, including:
Make an appointment with your primary care provider if you have symptoms common to trigeminal neuralgia. After your initial appointment, you may see a doctor trained in the diagnosis and treatment of brain and nervous system conditions (neurologist).
For possible trigeminal neuralgia, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment at any time that you don't understand something.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may give you more time to go over points you want to discuss further. Your doctor may ask:
Your doctor will diagnose trigeminal neuralgia mainly based on your description of the pain, including:
Your doctor may conduct many tests to diagnose trigeminal neuralgia and determine underlying causes for your condition, including:
Your facial pain may be caused by many different conditions, so an accurate diagnosis is important. Your doctor may order additional tests to rule out other conditions.
Trigeminal neuralgia treatment usually starts with medications, and some people don't need any additional treatment. However, over time, some people with the condition may stop responding to medications, or they may experience unpleasant side effects. For those people, injections or surgery provide other trigeminal neuralgia treatment options.
If your condition is due to another cause, such as multiple sclerosis, your doctor will treat the underlying condition.
To treat trigeminal neuralgia, your doctor usually will prescribe medications to lessen or block the pain signals sent to your brain.
Anticonvulsants. Doctors usually prescribe carbamazepine (Tegretol, Carbatrol, others) for trigeminal neuralgia, and it's been shown to be effective in treating the condition. Other anticonvulsant drugs that may be used to treat trigeminal neuralgia include oxcarbazepine (Trileptal), lamotrigine (Lamictal) and phenytoin (Dilantin, Phenytek). Other drugs, including clonazepam (Klonopin) and gabapentin (Neurontin, Gralise, others), also may be used.
If the anticonvulsant you're using begins to lose effectiveness, your doctor may increase the dose or switch to another type. Side effects of anticonvulsants may include dizziness, confusion, drowsiness and nausea. Also, carbamazepine can trigger a serious drug reaction in some people, mainly those of Asian descent, so genetic testing may be recommended before you start carbamazepine.
The goal of trigeminal neuralgia surgery is to stop the blood vessel from compressing the trigeminal nerve or to damage the trigeminal nerve to keep it from malfunctioning. Damaging the nerve often causes temporary or permanent facial numbness, and with any of the surgical procedures, the pain can return months or years later.
Surgical options for trigeminal neuralgia include:
Microvascular decompression. This procedure involves relocating or removing blood vessels that are in contact with the trigeminal root. During microvascular decompression, your doctor makes an incision behind the ear on the side of your pain. Then, through a small hole in your skull, your surgeon moves any arteries that are in contact with the trigeminal nerve away from the nerve, and places a pad between the nerve and the arteries.
If a vein is compressing the nerve, your surgeon may remove it. Doctors also may cut part of the trigeminal nerve (neurectomy) during this procedure if arteries aren't pressing on the nerve.
Microvascular decompression can successfully eliminate or reduce pain most of the time, but pain can recur in some people. Microvascular decompression has some risks, including decreased hearing, facial weakness, facial numbness, a stroke or other complications. Most people who have this procedure have no facial numbness afterward.
Gamma Knife radiosurgery. In this procedure, a surgeon directs a focused dose of radiation to the root of your trigeminal nerve. This procedure uses radiation to damage the trigeminal nerve and reduce or eliminate pain. Relief occurs gradually and may take several weeks.
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is successful in eliminating pain for the majority of people. If pain recurs, the procedure can be repeated.
Other procedures may be used to treat trigeminal neuralgia, such as a rhizotomy. In a rhizotomy, your surgeon destroys nerve fibers, which causes some facial numbness. Types of rhizotomy include:
Glycerol injection. During this procedure, your doctor inserts a needle through your face and into an opening in the base of your skull. Your doctor guides the needle into the trigeminal cistern, a small sac of spinal fluid that surrounds the trigeminal nerve ganglion — where the trigeminal nerve divides into three branches — and part of its root. Then, your doctor will inject a small amount of sterile glycerol, which damages the trigeminal nerve and blocks pain signals.
This procedure often relieves pain. However, some people have a later recurrence of pain, and many experience facial numbness or tingling.
Balloon compression. In balloon compression, your doctor inserts a hollow needle through your face and guides it to a part of your trigeminal nerve that goes through the base of your skull. Then, your doctor threads a thin, flexible tube (catheter) with a balloon on the end through the needle. Your doctor inflates the balloon with enough pressure to damage the trigeminal nerve and block pain signals.
Balloon compression successfully controls pain in most people, at least for a period of time. Most people undergoing this procedure experience some facial numbness, and some experience temporary or permanent weakness of the muscles used to chew.
Radiofrequency thermal lesioning. This procedure selectively destroys nerve fibers associated with pain. While you're sedated, your surgeon inserts a hollow needle through your face and guides it to a part of the trigeminal nerve that goes through an opening at the base of your skull.
Once the needle is positioned, your surgeon will wake you from sedation. Your surgeon inserts an electrode through the needle and sends a mild electrical current through the tip of the electrode. You'll be asked to indicate when and where you feel tingling.
When your neurosurgeon locates the part of the nerve involved in your pain, you're returned to sedation. Then the electrode is heated until it damages the nerve fibers, creating an area of injury (lesion). If your pain isn't eliminated, your doctor may create additional lesions.
Radiofrequency thermal lesioning usually results in some temporary facial numbness after the procedure.
Alternative treatments generally haven't been as well-studied as medications or surgical procedures, so there's often little evidence to support their use. However, some people have found improvement with these treatments. Be sure to check with your doctor before trying an alternative treatment because it may interact with your other treatments.
Complementary and alternative treatments that have been used for trigeminal neuralgia include:
Living with trigeminal neuralgia can be difficult. The disorder may affect your interaction with friends and family, your productivity at work, and the overall quality of your life.
You may find encouragement and understanding in a support group. Group members often know about the latest treatments and tend to share their own experiences. If you're interested, your doctor may be able to recommend a group in your area.

Tax Facts Index
Department of Finance
Vol. 8, No. 2
April 1997
Sales for resale of repair
Our current Sales and Use Tax Ordinance defines "sale at
retail" to mean "a sale to a consumer or to any person for any purpose other
than for resale in the form of tangible personal property and a sale of
services..." It has been the position of the Revenue Division that the sales of
tangible personal property and the sales of services, when sold for resale, are exempt
from local taxation. The presentation of a valid and properly executed exemption
certificate by the purchaser to the seller is required in order to properly document a
sale for resale.
The furnishing of repairs to tangible personal property is identified
in the definition of "Sales of Service". This means that a repair dealer could
perform repair services for a customer and have those services declared exempt from local
taxes by the presentation of a valid exemption certificate by the customer. For example:
Hiho Car Dealership has taken in a wrecked vehicle to be repaired.
Because the dealership has taken in too many vehicles for repair, they contact ABC Auto
repair shop to repair this particular vehicle for them. Hiho provides ABC with a resale
exemption certificate. ABC performs the repair work and charges Hiho state sales tax only
on the invoice. ABC also declares the net amount of the invoice on line two (2) of our
sales tax return. Hiho will collect the applicable state and local sales tax on their
invoice to the owner of the vehicle.
Normally, repair services are taxed where the service is performed,
even if the repaired property is delivered into another jurisdiction. The exception to
this is when the repair is for resale. For example:
Stuck Valve, Inc. is a valve repair shop located in Livingston Parish.
Stuck Valve sends a valve to XYZ Valve located in East Baton Rouge Parish to be repaired.
Stuck also provides XYZ with a resale exemption certificate and declares that this repair
is for resale. Because Stuck has declared the repair exempt, XYZ will not charge any local
tax even though the repair work is performed in East Baton Rouge Parish. Stuck Valve, Inc.
will collect tax from customer when the repaired valve is picked up in Livingston Parish.
In summary, repairs can be performed for resale but must be in strict
compliance with the Rules and Regulations regarding Resale Exemption Certificates. Resale
exemption certificates may be obtained from the Revenue Division.
Street Improvement
Tax Election
On May 3, 1997, the voters of East Baton Rouge Parish will decide
whether or not to renew the 1/2% sales and use tax for street improvements. The renewal is
for a period of five (5) years commencing on July 1, 1997, through and including June 30,
2002. Proceeds from the tax will be used for repair and improvement of public roads and
streets, for the widening and improvement of existing public roads or streets and the
construction of new public roads and streets.
The tax if renewed will continue to be levied upon the sale at retail,
use, consumption, distribution, lease or rental of tangible personal property, and sales
of services. The sale of prescription drugs, food for further preparation and consumption
in the home, orthotic and prosthetic devices, wheelchairs, medical devices, and patient
aids that are prescribed by a physician or licensed chiropractor and are for personal
consumption or home use will continue to be exempt from this 1/2% tax.
If the voters approve the 1/2% Street Improvement sales and use tax,
the Local sales and use tax rate will remain 4%.

History of the Plowboys
Upon joining The Texas A&M University System in 1917, the Tarleton athletic teams became known as the "Junior Aggies."
In 1924, Coach W.J. Wisdom became disenchanted with the name and held a contest to select a new mascot. The winner would receive $5 and Wisdom would be the sole judge. One day, Wisdom was walking across campus and contemplating the fact that Tarleton was primarily an agricultural school when the name "Plowboys" popped into his head. He immediately adopted the new mascot and kept the $5. The symbol of the Plowboys was a muscular young man in overalls pushing a hand plow.
In 1950, the mascot withstood a challenge when four additional names were suggested for a student vote. Plowboys won by a 2-1 margin. With the University's changing image, however, another election was held in 1961 and students approved the name "Texans" and TexAnns." The horse and rider became the new athletic mascot of the University.
In 1984, a group of interested students established a spirit organization on campus and re-adopted the name "Plowboys." The Plowboys attend athletic events and other campus activities and are familiar to students because of their white shirts, hats, and purple chaps.

GSA Orders $210 Million Worth of Fuel Efficient Vehicles
June 9, 2009
Contact: Robert Lesino, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON — The U.S. General Services Administration is one step closer to fulfilling its responsibilities outlined in President Obama's economic recovery legislation. On June 1, 2009, the agency ordered 14,105 fuel efficient vehicles for the Federal fleet using $210 million of funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
This brings the total number of fuel efficient vehicles ordered by GSA using ARRA funds to 17,205 at a cost of $287 million. The breakdown includes:
2,933 Chrysler vehicles for $53 million;
7,924 Ford vehicles for $129 million; and
6,348 General Motors vehicles for $105 million.
"This order represents just one of the multiple ways we are helping our customers meet their economic recovery and green government initiatives," said Acting Administrator Paul F. Prouty.
On April 9, 2009, GSA announced that by June 1, 2009, it would spend about $285 million in ARRA funds for commercially available fuel efficient vehicles. On April 14, 2009, GSA ordered 3,100 fuel efficient hybrid vehicles, worth $77 million. By September 30, 2009, GSA will order $15 million worth of advanced technology buses and electric vehicles for use in the Federal fleet.
"GSA is committed to spending Recovery dollars quickly and wisely," said Commissioner James A. Williams of GSA's Federal Acquisition Service. "Simultaneously, we are focused on acquiring vehicles that will provide long-term environmental benefits and savings by increasing the fuel efficiency of the Federal fleet."
Each new fuel efficient vehicle replaces, on a one-for-one basis, operational motor vehicles in the federal inventory that met replacement standards. Each new vehicle will have a higher miles-per-gallon (MPG) rating than the one it replaces.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 213,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 480 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA offers a variety of environmental products and services to its federal customers to assist them in their efforts to comply with procurement responsibilities outlined in federal environmental laws and regulations.

Even Cleveland's casino is closed
(Cleveland) -- Thousands of school kids in Greater Cleveland have had their holiday break extended for another day or two because of the frigid cold conditions expected through Wednesday morning because of the predicted Arctic air coming down across Canada.
Roads on Monday morning were not as bad, as there was some sleet overnight, but it was covered by snow, and road crews have been out salting and plowing major roads.
Starting later in the day Monday, expect a big change as the Arctic air starts to plunge south.
In an unprecedented move, the Horseshoe Casino in downtown Cleveland closed at 3 a.m. Monday because of expected weather conditions and will be closed until further notice. ThistleDown Racino is open with a limited staff and no dining options.
One woman who talked to WTAM at the RTA Park and Ride in North Olmsted said she's ready for cold weather, wearing the right clothing. Another man told our Julie Courtright early Monday that he's been in the Cleveland area 50 years, and he's ready for the cold.
If you have a flight in or out of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, expect delays. Nearly all United Express flights from Hopkins are canceled, and as many as 50% of regular United flights are canceled, not just due to frigid weather expected here, but also due to weather problems in other cities.
Stay tuned to WTAM 1100 for the latest weather information, and come back to wtam.com for updates on school and business closures.

I have used Backtrack 2 live cd in the past with a laptop that I no longer own. I am now trying to use the Backtrack 2 live cd with another machine. I would like to stick with Backtrack 2 since I know the commands already.
The cd is known to work and my bios allows booting from cd-rom.
When I get to the "boot:" prompt, I press enter. My monitor has a message that says "video mode not supported"
After waiting a few minutes, I'll type "root" and "toor" and it sounds like the disc spins up. I'll try to type "startx" and it looks like the disc is loading, but then drops me back to the error message.
What should I enter or change to enable my video mode? The video card is integrated and an unknown make/model and my monitor is an LCD Samsung 152N (both work with my ubuntu and arch installations).

Kaçkar Tv 16.09.2010
• There is the problem about passing on a subject correctly and sincerely as it actually is; they need to explain subject matters correctly. Our brothers who read Risale-i Nur Collection should take the Risale-i Nur as it is. They should not take people who put on a strange hat at their heads, who shape their mustaches strangely and who accuse Bediuzzaman bluntly of telling lies and who claim to do so because of their love for Bediuzzaman, into consideration. For instance he says "I came home today." And they paraphrase "The 'I' here means a collective identity; what he means by 'today' is the whole past time, the word 'home' means the places covered by the collective identity spreaded all over the world. And by 'came' he means 'he will come'." Why is there the need for such inconceivable, such illogical, and such pathetic attempts? It is really amazing that they get used to such claims as they really see those reasonable.
• They have been asking me "Master why are you keeping the system of the Mahdi on the agenda to this extent". The whole policy of the world is founded on this. I am explaining it by means of social events; I am telling the social aspects of Evangelicals and the point of view of the atheist masons. The system of the Messiah and the Islamic unity are the subject matters with the highest priority. That is the reason why I have been dwelling on these points.
• Bediuzzaman says "I am spiritually a sayyid". Everyone who feels love for Hazrat Ali (ra) would be both al-Hasani and al-Husayini. "I may spiritually be counted among the Ahl al-Bayt but as per descent I am not from the Ahl al-Bayt," he says. It would be seen when we look at his family tree anyway.
• A seal dies and they move heaven and earth. A seal washes ashore and they all begin to mourn. Hundreds of people die in Afghanistan everyday and they see it perfectly normal. They do not even hear about it.
• They are determined make the South East Anatolia communist and I keep saying that an intellectual struggle is necessary against this. When a member of the PKK dies in the South East Anatolia take any one from his funeral and ask "What is the movement of PKK?" They would all give comprehensive information. Especially youngsters. They are very much informed about the subject matters of Marxism, Leninism, the origin of terror, the reason why terror is a necessity, how the Darwinist materialist philosophy developed. These are all people who have been trained at lenght. Do not be fooled by their appearance, they are all very much informed.
• Lately some people came from the PKK camps and I said "these came to make propaganda". They actually have spread among the public and started to propagate communism. It all came out to be just as I have said it would be. It was quite apparent from the way they looked; they were classical communist types. The state should support the counter propaganda against this. They are responding to weapons with weapons, but shouldn't respond to ideas with ideas a necessity as well? It is not acceptable. Our citizens, our brothers should draw up petitions about this point so as to make it known that this is the general conception of our nation.
• Bediuzzaman says "this plague will advance so long as the ability of persuasion and indoctrination progress". Sometimes our senior administrators hint to this point. They say "social precautions should be taken", but they do not say that "scientific struggle is necessary". If they were to say that a scientific philosophical struggle is necessary; what is there to conflict with the structure of the state in that? Which aspect of it conflicts with the constitution, with the laws? Some people go to the bridge to commit suicide and we call people who they love to prevent them to ruin themselves. By indoctrination they persuade their brain. They also take people with psychological disorders and give them mass therapy. Mass therapy is also needed there, as well. Those people are intellectually diseased, and they are able to commit murders. This is a kind of social mental disease, and it should be treated. They need to use scientists, psychologists, palaentologists and biologists.
• They tell those men "what you have been doing is a shame. This is cruelty". Those men are actually communists. What do they understand from shame or cruelty? How can one say "this is a shame that you do this" to these people? These men are Leninists; they act on the things Lenin talks about. They say "there is a struggle in between the powerful and the weak; power is a weapon, it is bombs." They say "whoever uses force will win. So we will use it." Intellectual defense will solve this matter fundamentally here. Being proud about this matter would give a very negative result. To be proud about this point would result in a negative way.
• For once, the Darwinist propaganda should be ceased all over Turkey. The state officially engages in Darwinist propaganda. Once you defend Darwinism you would automatically be nourishing the dialectical philosophy. Mao says "The origin of the Chinese communism is based on Darwin and the evolution theory." A handful of communists got hold of China. The Chinese people wouldn't know the first thing about communism. Mao openly states that "The origin of the Chinese communism is based on Darwin and the evolution theory." The state should immediately stop the Darwinist propaganda. It is okay for the state to defend itself with weapons and it should, but ten thousand times as much result can be taken through ideas. It would be very wrong to be too proud for that. Not being proud is an indication of quality here.
• We do not claim that the state should not talk about Darwinism, it should. But it should also talk about its response. For instance Darwinism maintains that proteins are formed by coincidence. That is okay, let them talk about this as much as they want. They can even explain these by stating all their resources. But they should also state that it is impossible for a protein to be formed by coincidences. 60 proteins are needed for a single protein to be formed. How is it possible that the youngsters do not see this in the text books of the state? That is a scientific fact. How is it that a fact commonly stated by the scientists does not take place in the textbooks of the state? How is it that the superstitions of Darwin takes place in them but not the scientific truth? For instance Darwinism maintains that there are transitional fossils. They can talk about those as much as they like. But not even one has ever been found until now; they should also state this scientific fact. The state should also state this. It is the duty of the state to support science, we do not ask the state to tell superstitions. We just ask them to respond with pure science. The state should support science by with the constitution. I don't claim that the state should be saying anything superstitious. We will put an end to this with pure science. Otherwise it would develop. That is because a PKK supporter takes the text book published by the state and says "all living things are formed through evolution, you have been formed through evolution as well". Allah is above their claims, and he says, "Allah does not exist". "There is no difference in between you and a dog. It is the same if a dog dies or a man dies. It is the same if a bug dies or a man dies," he says. The man doesn't accept that murder is a sin. And shows the biology text books as a source for that. He says "the universe is formed by coincidences".
• It is better to read the verses of the Qur'an from the book, as one might forget a word while saying it by heart. Anyone can make a mistake but there would be no errors while reading. Allah starts by saying "Read", right? When we read it directly from the book the person listening would be satisfied. There are some people who know the complete book by heart but are like donkeys loaded by weighty tomes. There are reactionist bigots. They haven't taken the spirit of the Qur'an at all. There is no art, science or love in them, there is only supersitition for them. No one can live by religion like this. We ask the bigot himself and see that he cannot live by it himself either. He is a classical crook. He can never do the things he himself talks about. He would get suffocated in between all these superstitions. What we should do is to abide by the Qur'an completely without making interpretations from our minds. We will learn the religion from Elmalılı Hamdi Yazir Commentary and Omar Nasuhi Bilmen's work explaining the principles of Islam.
• Just like salt dissolving in water, the PKK that is the system of antichrist would melt in the face of scientific propaganda. Scientific counter propaganda would melt the PKK just like salt melting in water. If the state gives way to us, if we do not tear them down intellectually in two months, they can say anything they like to us. The spirit of the PKK will be removed, that will be all; removing the body wouldn't do the effect. The spirit can only be removed through pure science. I will not confront them with religion. I do know that the state is secular, I will get to the point with pure science. Only through real science. This cannot be done by swearing and insulting, it cannot be done with cannons and tanks. Scientific struggle is a must. That is what matters and there is nothing more. Our soldiers fought in Canakkale. They were convinced and went there for religion. Ataturk says "they are all faithful and they all know that they will soon be martyred but because they believe in Allah they sacrifice themselves."
• Those militants engage in fake academic studies every day at the mountains. These men are taking Darwinism- Materialism training everyday for hours, they are using the methods of Mao Tze Tung and Ho Chi Mihn. There are books about these and these are all tested methods. America could not defeat the Ho Chi Mihn methods in Vietnam. They have used high technology weapons, rained down bombs on the mountains of Vietnam. But finally they had to leave them and go. In total they are given thousands of hours training. They join the PKK when 16 and they take training night and day until 46. They bring experts from Europe. They bring experts on Darwinism and experts on materialism and have them teach continuously.
• Ever since the creation of Adam (pbuh) until the Last Hour there has been no strife bigger than that of the antichrist … No prophet who did not warn his community against him has ever been sent. (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, 8th. Edition, p. 225)
• There has never been a greater strife than the Darwinist materialist strife. Six billion people directly surrendered to atheism and materialism.
• He says that all the prophets drew the attention towards the anti-Christ. He says that the antichrist will come and Hazrat Mahdi(pbuh) will appear as its contrary. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is awaited in all ancient scriptures. In dead Sea Qumran scriptures, in Aztec and Inca scriptures it says that a man in a white dress will come. Everywhere in Budhist works from very old days, the system of the Mahdi is mentioned. They say that he won't be like them. He will not be in the Aztec appearance it says. And also his beard is mentioned.
• Time was removed for our Prophet (saas) and he had seen the past and the future as a single moment. In Islam this is called convolution of time. He has seen the past and the future and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) in great detail.
• «O servants of Allah! I will tell you about him in a way that no prophet has ever done…»
• «He [the antichrist] will first say, "I am a prophet." Yet there will be no prophet after me. He will then make a second claim, saying, "I am your Lord." Although you will not see your Lord until you die. (Sunan Ibn Majah, 4077)
• Our Prophet (saas) says; "I will tell you about the anti-Christ in such a way that no other prophet has ever." This also means that he will give that much detailed information about Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) as well, so that you will know him like you know your own child. He says that he will inform us about those portents in such clear details that it would not be possible for us not to understand.
• The Godless system which would see that atheism and materialism has been destroyed in the End Times would come up under the name of religion. There will be an antichrist who would claim that he is Allah (Allah is beyond their claims) but he won't be a person to be taken seriously. He would influence people in general. He too will use the Darwinist materialist system and claim that he is Jesus Messiah. He would say that the Darwinist system is correct and will use hypnosis and hallucination features. The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will make him inactive but this is not what will be effective worldwide. The real problem is the the world wide Godlessness and irreligious movement and it is the Mahdi who will make those ineffective. Jesus Messiah will make the Antichrist inactive. Just like the Darwinists and materialists saying "the creatures from outer space made the first cell" as a result being cornered, they will employ such meaningless illogical claims. The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will remove antichrist's hypnotic power. It will also be a miracle for a human being to remove such mass hypnosis. But he would also have miracles like curing the Vitiligo disease and knowing what is in people's houses. He may also revive a person who has been in the morgue. But believing in it will not be an obligation.
• (News report stating that Economic crisis stroke England) The reason why the economic crisis did not hit Turkey is because Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is in Turkey. Two years ago I have said that the crisis will not affect Turkey. The economists claimed that it would mainly hit Turkey and I said nothing of that sort will happen, and you see the result.
• Both the atheistic masons and the Alleged Ergenekon Organization have become enemies to me and my friends. What have they done? They said "let us find fake secret witnesses and infiltrate agent provacators among them". They have infiltrated 2 such agent provacators among us and everyone saw this. Those two agents went to the security department and the day after there had been an operation against us. The alleged Alleged Ergenekon Organization is at the moment pended. We have presented the evidence we have about the Alleged Ergenekon Organization struggling against us for their case file. The alleged Ergenekon Organisation is organizing the activities against us. I of course do not mean anyone who is being tried or arrested now; I consider them free of these. When they planned to defame and slander, it wasn't difficult to find a prostitute to do that with. It wasn't difficult to find secret witnesses either. We have been telling all sorts of things about the Alleged Ergenekon Organisation and we will continue to do so. Let them infiltrate ajan provacators, let them use fake informants, we will continue our way. They have even provoked some people who loved us before, against us and made them attack us.
• Thanks be to Allah, I have been acquitted from each and every single one of the lawsuits brought against me. They have been bringing lawsuits against me continuously and I am being acquitted from every one of them. The state explicitly sees that the Alleged Ergenekon organization has openly been fighting against us. The state should take action against this. The Alleged Ergenekon Organization has defined us as "their real target". They are telling it openly. "We will start websites against them and find fake witnesses," they actually have written those and these take place in their case file as well. The state should defend the citizens. They plotted the cocain conspiracy against me and they have gotten away with it, we still do not know who did it. The state needs to do what is necessary.
74/47 Until what is certain to come did come upon us.
74/48 The intercession of the interceders will not help them.
• What happened to their claim that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) would go to the Christians and Jews at their death bed and enable them to have faith? Actually the Prophet Jesus(pbuh) will come to earth while they are still alive and enable people to have faith while they are conscious.
23/99- When death comes to one of them, he says, 'My Lord, send me back again.
23/100 so that perhaps I may act rightly regarding the things I failed to do!' No indeed! It is just words he utters. Before them there is an interspace until the Day they are raised up.
• In the alluded meaning he says "Send me back so that I will believe in the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)" and Allah says "No it is not possible, it is just words you say".
10/90 We brought the tribe of Israel across the sea and Pharaoh and his troops pursued them out of tyranny and enmity. Then, when he was on the point of drowning, he said, 'I believe that there is no god but Him in whom the tribe of Israel believe. I am one of the Muslims.'
10/91 'What, now! When previously you rebelled and were one of the corrupters?
• That means their claims regarding the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) which state that when a Jewish man is about to die, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will go to him as an image and say "I am the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) so have faith in me" is wrong according to this verse. What is more one's believing in the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is not something that would save him. And they claim that it will be just before he is about to die, and that is not acceptable. That means the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will come, wander around among people and the people will see him. That is also the case with Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
• One of the features of the hypocrites is that they do not appreciate Muslims. As a mere formality they seem like they do but we understand that they do not even appreciate our Prophet (saas). What is more they even regard themselves greater than Allah (Allah is beyond their claims). The friendships of the hypocrites are also fake. When they leave each other they start gossiping about each other. There is actually hatred in between them.
• With ignorance and lovelessness it brings along bigotry and has a very cold countenance. That is a terrible thing. It is at least as terrible as communism. Against such a massive evil, we are to develop a clear attitude just as we do against communism. They keep saying that our people refrain from backwardness, they are right to do so. As I refrain from that as well. That is a very serious danger. However when you intend to give a struggle against backwardness that cannot be done by being against the Qur'an. Against bigotry, it is essential to make statements that would relieve our intellectuals, our loving people. That is trouble for them but wouldn't it also be a trouble for us as well? That is a great trouble. A bigot doesn't want democracy, and he doesn't want freedom. We ask him what he wants and he says that he wants blood, superstitions and ignominy. And we do not want any of those. I do not even want to look at the face of that man, I feel disturbed. We certainly would never ever let them kill science, love, beauty or art. We do not want that. It is a necessity to explain this point so that people will feel relieved. It would be very nice for our senior administrators to state that we are committed to be against the dark, insane mentality of reactionism. It would be great if they have stated that they are against this mentality as well. They need to say this at least several times. That is because people actually fear that.
• It would really be nice to let them know that we all hate bigotry and backwardness. It would be great to underline the fact that they will be able to live in brotherhood and love in the best way possible. These people have really been scared, and they are living in the fear of something that should not happen. Actually, we do hate that system as well but they are unaware of this. Those people directly attack religion and thus they cause the fanatics to become uncontrollable. If you come up against them by being irreligious, the fanatics would break out in open revolt. By this you would be giving ammunition for them to use for their purposes. Our Prophet (saas) says "70 thousand turbaned people will abide by the anti-Christ". The army of the bigots is meant here. What is meant by 70 thousand is that they will be very crowded. It could as well be 700 thousand. They have martyred Hazrat Hasan (ra), Hazrat Hussain (ra), Hazrat Umar; they have martyred all of them. They wanted bigotry to come instead. The enmity towards love is a fundamental principle for them. They do not want beauty. They want to take away the blessings Allah granted us. I want to drink coffee, yet he says, "it is unlawful". I am about to sit down, he says "you can't". "Niether can you laugh," he says "laughing is prohibited. You are to cry frequently". There is a verse aout this, Allah says for the unbelievers that they are to laugh little and weep much. I would of course be very cheerful. Let the sordid men cry instead.
20/83- 'Why have you hurried on ahead of your people, Moses?'
20/84 He said, 'They are following in my tracks. I have hurried on ahead to you, My Lord, to gain Your good pleasure.'
20/85 He said, 'We tried your people after you left and the Samaritan has misguided them.'
20/86 Moses returned to his people in anger and great sorrow. He said, 'My people, did not your Lord make you a handsome promise? Did the fulfilment of the contract seem too long to you or did you want to unleash your Lord's anger upon yourselves, so you broke your promise to me?'
• Allah says : "after you left your people went astray". That means Muslims behave perfectly when they have a leader but when there is no leader one pulls from one side and the other from the other side and they dissolve and start behaving abnormally. Allah says that "a hypocrite deviated them". When the Muslims do not have anyone as their leader hypocrites pester.
did not your Lord make you a handsome promise?
meaning; "did not Allah tell you that He will send Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)?"
Did the fulfilment of the contract seem too long to you ?
In the alluded meaning; did the fulfillment of Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh) 40 years of service seem too long to you?
20/94 He said, 'Son of my mother! Do not seize me by the beard or by the hair. I was afraid that you would say, "You have caused division in the tribe of Israel and taken no notice to anything I said."'
• That means he had both hair and beard. This is especially stated in the Qur'an.
20/123- ... But when guidance comes to you from Me, all those who follow My guidance will not go astray and will not be miserable
• Regarding the End Times, all those who follow Hazrat Mahdi will not go astray.
20/124 But if anyone turns away from My reminder, his life will be a dark and narrow one and on the Day of Rising We will gather him blind.'
• Who ever turns away from Allah, Allah says that He will send an economic crisis on them.

What Is Pemphigus?
Fast Facts: An Easy-to-Read Series of Publications for the Public
Pemphigus is a group of rare autoimmune diseases. Such diseases occur when the body's immune system attacks healthy cells.
Pemphigus causes blisters on the skin and mucous membranes. Mucous membranes are found in the mouth, nose, throat, eyes, and genitals.
Some forms of pemphigus may be fatal without treatment.
- What Causes Pemphigus?
- Who Gets Pemphigus?
- What Are the Different Types of Pemphigus?
- What Is Pemphigoid and How Is It Different From Pemphigus?
- How Is Pemphigus Diagnosed?
- What Type of Doctor Treats Pemphigus?
- How Is Pemphigus Treated?
- What Is the Prognosis for People Who Have Pemphigus?
- What Are Researchers Learning About Pemphigus?
What Causes Pemphigus?
Your immune system makes antibodies, which attack viruses and harmful bacteria. With pemphigus, antibodies instead attack healthy cells in the skin or mucous membranes. As a result,
- Skin cells separate from each other
- Fluid collects between skin layers
- Blisters form and may cover a large area of skin.
The cause of this immune system attack is not known. Pemphigus does not spread from person to person. It does not appear to be passed from parent to child. But some people's genes put them more at risk for pemphigus.
Who Gets Pemphigus?
Pemphigus affects people of all races and cultures. Groups at higher risk are:
- People of Mediterranean descent
- Eastern European Jews
- People who live in the rain forests of Brazil.
Men and women both get pemphigus at the same rate. It is most common in middle-aged and older adults. But it can occur in young adults and children.
What Are the Different Types of Pemphigus?
The type of pemphigus depends on where the blisters form.
Pemphigus vulgaris. This is the most common type of pemphigus in the United States. Most cases start with mouth blisters. They can be painful. But most do not itch or leave scars.
Pemphigus foliaceus. This type most often starts with sores or blisters on the face and scalp. Blisters then show up on the chest and back. It can also cause loose, moist scales on the skin. Most of the sores are itchy, but not painful. This type of pemphigus does not cause mouth blisters.
Pemphigus vegetans. This type causes thick sores in the groin and under the arms.
IgA pemphigus. This is the least harmful type. The blisters look like those in pemphigus foliaceus. This type can also cause small bumps with pus inside. This type of pemphigus is caused by an antibody called IgA.
Paraneoplastic pemphigus. This is a rare type of pemphigus. Special tests may be needed to diagnose it. It occurs in people with some types of cancer and can lead to:
- Painful mouth and lip sores
- Cuts and scars on the lining of the eyes and eyelids
- Skin blisters
- Severe lung problems.
What Is Pemphigoid and How Is It Different From Pemphigus?
Pemphigoid is also an autoimmune skin disease. It leads to deep blisters that do not break easily. Pemphigoid is most common in older adults and may be fatal.
Treatment is much like that for pemphigus. But severe cases may need other treatment.
How Is Pemphigus Diagnosed?
Doctors diagnose pemphigus using:
- A complete history and physical exam.
- A blister biopsy. A sample of a blister is taken off and looked at with a microscope.
- A test where chemicals are put on a skin sample (biopsy). This test is used to find out which type of pemphigus it is.
- A blood sample to measure pemphigus antibody levels.
Pemphigus is a serious disease. The doctor should do all of these tests. No single test is right all the time.
Pemphigus is rare and often the last disease tested for. If you have long-lasting blisters on the skin or mouth, see your doctor. Early diagnosis may allow treatment with only low doses of medicines.
What Type of Doctor Treats Pemphigus?
A dermatologist (an expert in skin diseases) should diagnose and treat pemphigus. For mouth blisters, a dentist can help you maintain good oral health.
How Is Pemphigus Treated?
Pemphigus is treated with medicine. High doses of anti-inflammatory drugs (corticosteroids) are used to control the immune system. They may be taken by mouth or injected. Corticosteroid cream may also be used on blisters.
Other medicines used include:
- Immunosuppressants, which suppress the immune system
- Antibiotics to treat infections.
These medicines can have major side effects. Ask your doctor to tell you about them. Tell each doctor you see about the medicines you take.
What Is the Prognosis for People Who Have Pemphigus?
Pemphigus is rarely fatal. Most people with pemphigus can control it with medicines. But pemphigus and its treatments can cause:
- Lost time at work
- Weight loss
- Loss of sleep
- Stress.
Support groups can help people cope with the disease.
What Are Researchers Learning About Pemphigus?
Current research includes study of:
- Risk factors
- Antibodies that attack skin cells
- Better treatments with drugs that have fewer side effects.

Panel Discussion: Statement by Ambassador Thoms on "The strategy for water in the western Mediterranean"
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a privilege for me to participate in today's panel discussion and to present Germany's view.
Water is at the core of human life and of ecosystems. It is central to a life in dignity and health. At the same time, as we just have heard, this precious renewable resource is limited, not only in the Mediterranean. Demand for water resources is increasing due to different reasons: spread of unsustainable consumption patterns, population growth, urbanization, climate change and economic growth to name but a few.
We all know that if we continue under a "business as usual" scenario, we will face serious shortages of resources in a few years. In 2030, there will be 40% less water resources available than needed; energy demand will increase by 40% and food demand is predicted to increase by 50%. At the same time, roughly 30% of the food produced worldwide – about 1.3 billion tons – is lost or wasted every year, which means that the water and energy used to produce it is also wasted.
Access to safe drinking water and sanitation is an essential human right, universal recognition of this was reaffirmed by the UN General Assembly just last month. Since 2008, Germany and Spain have initiated several resolutions on the human right to water and sanitation. At the last session of the Human Rights Council in September, a record number of 111 co-sponsoring States agreed on a comprehensive definition of this human right. We believe that this definition can guide States in designing and implementing measures to achieve access to water and sanitation for all.
The Millennium Development Goals have both access to safe drinking water and sanitation at their center. . However, the target on sanitation remains one of the most off-track as more than 2.5 billion people still do not have access to improved sanitation facilities. And even though the Millennium Development Target to halve, by 2015, the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water was formally reached in 2010, 605 million people will still lack access to safe drinking water by 2015.
As the collective vision of what a post-2015 development agenda will look like is taking shape, we are convinced of the necessity to ensure an adequate place for the human right to water and sanitation in the discussion and design of the future agenda, bearing in mind the principles of equality and non-discrimination as well as a focus on the rights of the most disadvantaged and marginalized groups while implementing this right.
It is therefore important, in our view, that in the resolution adopted by the General Assembly in December 2013, all UN Member States agreed on the necessity to ensure an adequate place for the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation in the discussion and the design of the post-2015 development agenda.
It is also important to remember that the human right to water and sanitation, like any other right, requires a broad view of the social, environmental and economic factors that are essential pre-conditions for its realization. Sustainable access to drinking water and sanitation can only be realized when we take into account that both elements are deeply interconnected and embedded in a larger context. Achieved levels of drinking water and sanitation coverage can be endangered by serious deficiencies in waste water treatment, as these can lead to water pollution that will negatively impact future drinking water access. It is therefore essential to take into account the role of proper management of water resources, water quality, waste water treatment, water efficiency and the important role that ecosystems play in the sustainable realization of the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Let me conclude by providing two examples for Germany's action on water.
1. Germany currently supports projects with a focus on water and sanitation in over 50 countries worldwide. These include activities on sustainable water management and integrated water resources management, such as support for trans-boundary cooperation through lake or river basin commissions. An estimated 80 million people benefit from these activities.
In light of extreme water scarcity in most countries of the Mediterranean region, Germany supports numerous water projects in the Middle East, North Africa and the Balkans. The water sector is a priority area of our cooperation e.g. in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and the Palestinian Territories. German Development Cooperation focuses on ecological sustainability, on securing the long-term availability and quality of water resources as well as on drinking water provision and wastewater management.
2. In order to effectively address the water scarcity problem, we need to recognize the various interdependencies between water, energy and food security. Germany has been actively working on this Nexus since 2011. The Berlin 2013 Policy Forum "Realizing the Water, Energy and Food Security Nexus" was hosted by the German Government last November. It produced a number of important policy recommendations in six so-called opportunity areas from the international to the local implementation level, with a special focus on regional cooperation.
In the water-scarce Mediterranean region, the Water, Energy and Food security Nexus needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. 66 % of cropland is affected by desertification in the region. Energy projects, for example Concentrated Solar Power, compete with water use for agriculture. Germany welcomes that several countries of the region as well as the League of Arab States have already identified the need for intersectoral linkages and taken up Nexus problems and solutions on their agenda.
I thank you for your attention.

MassDevice Big 100 West: Inside the Medical Aesthetics Revolution
Mass Device
Tuesday, December 11, 2012 from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM (PST)
Tuesday, December 11, 2012
4:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.
Newport Beach Marriott,
900 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660
About our program
Companies in the dental, ophthalmic and medical aesthetic industry are pioneering the world of consumer-centric medicine, eschewing the traditional models of how medical device companies interact with customers. These companies are reaching past the physician and speaking directly to the customer, who is in most cases paying for services out of their own pocket.
As the provider community shifts away from fee-for-service models to cost-control measures such as bundled payment systems, the business model of the medical device industry must change too. Now, more than ever, device companies must look for new ways to reach an empowered patient. MassDevice is bringing together three CEOs of preeminent companies in each of these fields, including the inventor of the term medical aesthetics, Allergan CEO David Pyott for another evening of conversation among leaders at the MassDevice Big 100 West.
Join us as we peel back the curtain of the Medical Aesthetics Revolution and find out how the business of beauty can change the medical device industry.

More should be done to tell people that they cannot use electronic cigarettes in bus stations, a meeting heard.
The devices are banned from all bus stations in West Yorkshire, as well as on all trains and most buses, a meeting of Metro's Bradford Passenger Consultative Committee heard on Monday.
But there was disagreement over whether the message was getting through to passengers.
Members of the committee debated whether it was clear enough that the current 'No Smoking' signs covered electronic cigarettes as well as traditional tobacco products.
Neale Wallace, of transport authority Metro, said: "The current signage in relation to conventional cigarettes also relates to electronic cigarettes."
But committee chairman Councillor Imran Khan said as electronic cigarettes let off a vapour rather than smoke, people did not think the signs referred to the devices.
He said: "It's 'vaping', so technically it's not smoke, so when you challenge people they say it's not smoking."
Councillor Keith Dredge said there was a wider problem with people ignoring the 'no smoking' signs, especially in outside areas of stations where people mistakenly think they are allowed to light up.
Mr Wallace said Metro customer care staff were told to challenge people found smoking.

|Game 3 of the 2004 ALDS, Twins vs. Yanks
When I was growing up, I would get use to my dad working long hours at a hard job. He didn't always have the opportunity to watch my baseball games. But there would be days I would wait for him in the yard with our gloves ready to play catch as soon as he was done with work. He might have been tired from delivering packages all day but there was always time to throw the ball around as the sunset.
One summer in my younger playing days, there was a day set aside for parents to participate in a game. Dad found time in his busy delivery schedule to come to the game and hit the ball a ton. One of my favorite pictures from that day is me playing catcher and my dad swinging for the fences while wearing his UPS brown.
Looking back on it now, my dad has been present for most of my favorite Twins game memories. That seems fitting considering the eternal connections there is between baseball and father/son relationships. This quote from "Chicken Soup for the Baseball Fan's Soul" sums up the family connection to the game of baseball:
Baseball is continuous like nothing else among American things, an endless game of repeated summers, joining the long generations of all the fathers and all the sons ~~~ Donald HallHere's a look at the top Twins games I have been lucky enough to attended with my father:
It's interesting to note that the Twins lost three of the four games I featured above. This shows that it doesn't always matter if the team wins or loses. It can just be the experience of going to the game and spending with someone that you love.
Happy Father's Day to all of the fathers out there. I cherish many of the baseball memories I have with my dad.
Leave a comment and tell me a story about a game you attended with your father.
