Dem Joe Garcia IS Challenging Slime-Pub David Rivera. By Geniusofdespair
Don't discount the Dems chances of winning this seat. Surprise, surprise, David Rivera won against Joe Garcia in 2010 by absentee ballots. Joe Garcia won on election day and in early voting. And, yes I am aware that more Republicans do absentee but Rivera got twice as many absentee's in what was a nail biter in the other two arenas.
Here is Joe Garcia's Video Announcement:
14 comments:
Which is also how the RTL Bell beat Flynn for the Dist. 8 seat - even thought the Commission is "non partisan". It still makes me puke to look at those numbers. At least Garcia actually lives in Miami Dade County, which is a plus in this election seat shopping season!

Really Joe, Otis Wallace? Is that the best you could do? My God, who is running your campaign.
Also get the video suggestions off your video at the end...they are trashing you. You have to click a button to remove them. - May 01, 2012
Agree that Rivera is slime; unfortunately Garcia is scum. It is sad that these are our choices.
- May 01, 2012
Jeff Garcia is supposed to be running his campaign.
- May 01, 2012
They spelled Mayor Wallace's name wrong. Instead of fixing it, just cut him and Bateman out. You don't launch a campaign based on opposing corruption with those characters in the shot. They should both be sharing a cell with Rivera.
I think they took a map of the district and a ruler and decided that Robert Is Here is the geographic center.
It's the North Korea of campaign launches. - May 01, 2012
This guy is talking about corrupt politicians and he is being escorted by Steve Bateman and Otis Wallace?
While he might live in the area he sure doesn't know the area.
This is sad. - May 01, 2012
What is a "pub?"

I don't get it? Really. How can Joe Garcia be parading himself with two of the most ethically challenged south dade politicians... And at the same time be talking about honesty and transparency...

More a reflection of the local electorate voting in this godforsaken district.

Anyone elected by so many absentees is going to support only as many issues as most absentee citizens care for.
- May 01, 2012
If Rivera doesn't win... He could run for commission...
- May 01, 2012
The really important number is early voting. Democrats usually do much better than Republicans. But Garcia's margin of victory in early voting is quite unimpressive.

Tax Experts Are Standing By
You've got a friend at the IRS--or at least someone who knows you pretty well. As part of a reorganization, the service is opening a new unit just for small businesses. Is this good news? The IRS says yes: The goal of the restructuring is to strengthen education. The small-business education staff is scheduled to grow to 1,300 workers--up from just 100 now--by 2002.
Mike Mares, a board member of the American Institute of CPAs, says the reorg ignores the underlying problem--a hugely complex tax code. "There are still going to be a lot of small businesses who may not understand it," says Mares. And they'll still spend plenty of time on hold. The new unit will serve about 7 million businesses, or 5,385 per education staffer.
Before it's here, it's on the Bloomberg Terminal.

Like its predecessors (which bore the name Easy Media Creator), Roxio Creator 2009 is a massive suite of applications that covers nearly everything you can do with or to CDs and DVDs and their photo, audio, data, or video contents.
Burning, backing up, transcoding video, editing audio - you name it, Roxio Creator 2009 does it.
Roxio Creator 2009 has a revamped interface that refines the centralised application launcher found in the last few incarnations. The confusing list of application names has given way to a complete task-oriented menu, with clear labels such as 'Create CDs', 'Create labels', and 'Play movies'. (The confusingly named 'Plug'n Burn video cam to DVD' is still there, however.)
Roxio Creator 2009 still has a multitude of separate modules, but the modules now make it much easier to get where you need to go. Roxio plans to work more functionality directly into the launch application itself in future versions, but for now you get the same basic burn and copy function found in previous versions of Creator.
Depending on your focus, Roxio Creator 2009 may or may not be an exciting improvement. The Blu-ray plug-in adds AVCHD and BD-MV (including menus) support to the existing data and BD-AV support. It was a free incentive at the time of this writing, but will cost a small fee when the offer expires at the end of September 2009.
Audio book fans will like Roxio Creator 2009's new Audio Book Creator, which will convert CD and MP3 audio books into single files in the .m4b format, playable by Apple's iTunes, iPod, and iPhone - with each chapter accessible under the top-level file name, as opposed to being individual files. The application will also download and incorporate the chapter info and cover art if it's available online.
More of the suite's applications now let you upload directly to YouTube. Plus, Roxio Creator 2009 now offers its own online media-sharing service as a destination for your photos and videos (1GB free, 5GB is a pay-for option).
The Beatmatching tool arranges the tunes on your audio projects according to tempo for smooth transitions, much as a good DJ does at a dance club (this feature relies on a little tempo adjustment as well). And the SyncIt application lets you drag and drop media for syncing with your phone, MP3 player, or other device. Roxio Creator 2009 also contains new menu templates and numerous other improvements. All functioned as advertised in our hands-on testing.
For new users, Roxio Creator 2009 is a good deal, especially if you act on the limited time giveaway of the Blu-ray plug-in. Roxio Creator 2009 is a massive installation (3GB of disk space is required) and a bit slow to switch between modules, but the look and the feel of the content it produces are excellent. For owners of previous packages, Roxio has also announced an upgrade price of £34.99. If you already have Roxio Media Creator, take a close look to see whether Creator 2009 offers anything you urgently need. If not, wait for the next iteration.

Bengals LT Whitworth inactive with knee injury
- Associated Press
- October 31, 2013 - 6:30 PM
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Andrew Whitworth is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Miami Dolphins because of a right knee injury and will be replaced by Anthony Collins.
Whitworth, who had been questionable, was hurt in Sunday's victory over the New York Jets.
Bengals backup linebacker Michael Boley is inactive because of a hamstring injury.
Cornerback Jamar Taylor, the Dolphins' second-round draft pick, is active for only the fourth time this season. Rishard Matthews will make his first start of the year at receiver in place of Brandon Gibson, who suffered a season-ending knee injury last week.
Dolphins right tackle Jonathan Martin, sidelined because of emotional issues, is inactive and will be replaced by Tyson Clabo.

Yes he's raw, but he'll be a household name by his 2nd or 3rd year guaranteed. His is too much of a playmaker.
Like i said in my first post i really do hope we don't draft Patterson at number 10. We need a playmaker on defense or get Warmack or Cooper for the O line. They can grab a receiver in free agency
Whatever dude, just keep hating on UT. I can't wait til some of those Vandy players come to the NFL and revolutionize the game.
I'm not hating on UT. And who the hell brought Vandy into the conversation?!? This has nothing to do with where CP went and everything to do with he's not a very good receiver.
I agree that would be a great guard set-up, but I doubt that the Titans (or any team for that matter) would draft a guard #10 overall and then play him at RG. Guards who get picked in the first round are supposed to be great guards (remember how rare it was for a guard to go in the first round). I would be surprised at this point if the Titans draft him, because I doubt Levetre wants to play RG, and the #10 pick could be used to get a player who can play right now.

Asylum In Azilum
Refugees from the French Revolution, many of them of noble birth, built a unique community in the backwoods of Pennsylvania—and hoped their queen would join them
April 1976 | Volume 27, Issue 3
A year later Azilum had become a town of some thirty houses, with farms scattered around its periphery. Its first charter identified it as a land-purchasing company headed by Robert Morris, with Noailles as one of its managers and Talon and Hoops as agents, and a capital of a million acres of land, offering five thousand shares of two hundred acres each. The Terror in France was at its height, and floods of refugees were expected to pour in to populate the whole countryside, so many Americans were also buying shares and expecting mighty profits. Arrivals in Azilum had not yet formed precisely a flood, but there were manynew faces.
Aristide noted with particular pleasure the female ones. There was Madame Sibert, with elegant clothes and a number of black slaves. She was an eligible widow, but Aristide was not tempted, because she was a slave owner and parsimonious with the workmen on her extensive establishment. Her sister, Mademoiselle Bercy, had accompanied her and was already being wooed by a former infantry officer, Casimir de la Roue. The Marquis de Blacons—now plain Lucretius Blacons —had found a beautiful and tragic girl. Félicité de Maulde, in Philadelphia, newly arrived from Santo Domingo, where she had seen her father die and his plantation burn; they had fallen in love. The Blacons-de Maulde wedding was Azilum's first, performed without benefit of a church but solemnized by the bride's devoted confessor, Abbé Colin, who had accompanied her in her flight.
Aristide was charmed by Madame d'Autremont, the widow with three sons who had been fetched from Chemung by Durham boat in the same party that brought her brother-in-law Louis Lefèvre, his daughters, and John Brevost, all wealthy bourgeois Parisians. "She is a very pretty woman of 5o years old," said Aristide, "who has the most charming face I have seen on a woman of that age." Madame d'Autremont had taken a three-hundred-acre farm property outside the town, and Aristide found it a pleasure sometimes to drive her cows safely back to the barn for her. But it was a Mademoiselle Marin who troubled his peace of mind; she sang ravishingly, and she had the daintiest waist. "Yesterday I found her far too pretty," he wrote, and later: "she is very good, very tender," but, alas, she was also "scatter-brained, flirtatious and vain of her conquest of the one who plays top role here" (Talon). Aristide was relieved to be able to make a quick trip to Seneca Lake with Blacons—"but of course it is not because of her I went. …"
With the arrival of the ladies the makeshift life was over. The town lots, laid out in a gridiron pattern, had five streets sixty feet wide running north and south, crossed by nine streets of the same width, while through the middle ran a main avenue a hundred feet wide leading to the landing stage. At the heart, as in any proper French town, was a marketplace. As houses became habitable, gardens were started. Two stores opened; one near the wharf was run by an ex-canon, Bec de Lièvre, in partnership with Peter Régnier and the two de la Roue brothers (Casimir, who was courting Mademoiselle Bercy, and François, who had been in the gendarmerie). The second store in the marketplace dealt chiefly in fine French fabrics and was run by the new firm of Blacons and Colin, the marquis and the abbé, helped of course by the bride. Theirs was a pleasant meeting place where people liked to come to gossip, attracted by the big, blond, cheerful man and his pretty wife whose romance had delighted Azilum.
Everyone pitched in to do a little of everything—"cutting down trees is the big sport here," said Aristide. Superintendent of clearings was the Baron de Montulé, Madame Sibert's cousin, an ex-cavalry officer. He and his French friends caused much laughter among local workers by not knowing at first that if you hacked a tree all around its trunk, it might topple in any direction while the work party fled for their lives.
The land was plowed by teams of oxen. Grain was planted, maples were tapped for sugar, flax was raised, a gristmill was built (a lady gave her skirt for the first piece of bolting cloth), and icehouses, barns, and sheds sprang up. In all this activity there was a pride in accomplishment and an astonished joyin discovering a new skill. No aristocrat, priest, or officer in France of the ancien régime had soiled his hands either with trade or with manual labor. Ladies had always known how to do charming embroidery, but they had never made their own clothes. The will to overcome old prejudices and master the art of survival shone bravely in these early days of Azilum.

Baccalaureate and Beyond - B&B | Staff All Products Last 90 Days
B&B studies follow students who complete their baccalaureate degrees. Initially, students in the NPSAS surveys are identified as being in their last year of undergraduate studies. Students are asked question about their future employment and education expectations, as well as about their undergraduate education. In later follow-ups, students are asked questions about their job search activities, education and employment experiences after graduation. Individuals who had shown an interest in becoming teachers are asked additional questions about their pursuit of teaching, and if teaching, about their current teaching position. In the first B&B study, about 11,000 students were identified in NPSAS:93 who completed their degree in the 1992-93 academic year. These students comprised the first B&B cohort and were followed up in 1994 (B&B:93/94), 1997 (B&B:93/97), and 2003 (B&B:93/2003). The second B&B cohort began with NPSAS:2000 and involved only a 1-year follow-up in 2001 (B&B:2000/01). The current B&B cohort comprises of a sample of the Class of 2008 (via NPSAS:08) and has followed-up with them one year after graduation in 2009; Data from these years is available. This group of grads will be followed-up a second time in 2012-2013 and for a third and final time in 2018 (four and ten years after graduation, respectively).

Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study - BPS | Staff All Products Last 90 Days
BPS studies follow students who first begin their postsecondary education. Initially, students in the NPSAS surveys are identified as being first time beginners of undergraduate studies. These students are asked questions about their experiences during, and transitions through postsecondary education and into the labor force, as well as family formation. Transfers, persisters, stopouts/dropouts, and vocational completers are among those included in the studies. In the first BPS study, about 10,600 students were identified in NPSAS:90 as being first time beginning postsecondary students during the academic year 1989-90. These students were followed in 1992 (BPS:90/92) and in 1994 (BPS:90/94). A second cohort of first time, beginning students was identified in NPSAS:96, with follow-ups performed in 1998 (BPS:96/98) and in 2001 (BPS:96/2001). The third cohort was identified in NPSAS:04, and was followed-up in 2006 and 2009. A new cohort was identified in NPSAS:12, was followed-up in 2014, and will be followed again in 2017 as part of the BPS:12/17 study.

The government is toying with the idea of appointing an inquiry commission to probe charges that the Gujarat government snooped on a young woman, allegedly on orders of the former Gujarat home minister.
Sources said the home and law ministries had been told to look at the possibility of ordering the probe at the instance of Congress leaders but a decision would be taken only after weighing the available legal options.
"This was a possibility that was raised and discussed," a government source said, suggesting that the UPA could take a firm call on the Congress' suggestion for an inquiry commission within the next week or so.
Home minister Sushilkumar Shinde had last week claimed that the home ministry was still examining demands for a probe into the stalking of the young woman forwarded by Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Sources said the home ministry would, however, have to take the fact that a petition on similar lines was pending in the Supreme Court as well as the Gujarat government's pre-emptive move earlier to order an inquiry under the commission of inquiry law.

Fragmentation, Efficiency-Seeking FDI, and Employment
The paper examines the impact of efficiency-seeking FDI on factor prices, employment, and output. The analysis shows that when transportation costs fall, companies start relocating labor-intensive production processes to low-wage countries. But this does not necessarily hurt workers in the high-wage country. The paper demonstrates an employment-depressing "relocation effect" and an employment-enhancing "efficiency effect." Employment is more likely to rise if the internationality of production is high and if the supply of capital is elastic. Furthermore, the model is capable of explaining intra industry cross-hauling.

Backgrounder on Biological Effects of Radiation
Radiation is all around us. It is in our environment and has been since the Earth was formed. As a result, life has evolved in the presence of significant levels of ionizing radiation. It comes from outer space (cosmic), the ground (terrestrial) and even from within our own bodies. It is in the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink and the materials used to build our homes.
Some foods such as bananas and Brazil nuts naturally contain higher levels of radiation. Brick and stone homes have higher radiation levels than homes made of other materials such as wood. The U.S. Capitol, which is largely built of granite, contains more radiation than most homes. A lot of our exposure is due to radon, a gas from the Earth's crust that is present in the air we breathe.
This natural radiation that is always present is known as "background" radiation. Background levels can vary greatly from one location to the next. For example, Colorado, because of its altitude, has more cosmic radiation than the East or West Coast. It also has more terrestrial radiation from soils rich in naturally-occurring uranium. So people living in Colorado are exposed to more background radiation than residents of the coasts.
On average, a U.S. resident receives an annual radiation exposure from natural sources of about 310 millirem (3.1 millisieverts or mSv). Radon and thoron gases account for two-thirds of this exposure. Cosmic, terrestrial, and internal radiation account for the rest.
Man-made sources of radiation from medical, commercial and industrial activities contribute roughly 310 mrem more to our annual exposure. Computed tomography (CT) scans, which account for about 150 mrem, are among the largest of these sources. About another 150 mrem each year comes from other medical procedures. Some consumer products such as tobacco, fertilizer, welding rods, exit signs, luminous watch dials and smoke detectors contribute about 10 mrem per year. The pie chart below shows the radiation sources that make up the average annual U.S. radiation dose of 620 mrem.
Natural and man-made radiation may come from different sources, but both affect us in the same way. The NRC does not regulate background radiation. But the NRC does require its licensees to limit exposure to members of the public to 100 mrem (1 mSv) per year above background. Exposure to adults working with radioactive materials must be below 5,000 mrem (50 mSv) per year. NRC regulations and radiation exposure limits are contained in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20.
Biological Effects of Radiation
We tend to think of the effects of radiation in terms of how it impacts living cells. For low levels of exposure, the biological effects are so small they may not be detected. The body is able to repair damage from radiation, chemicals and other hazards. Living cells exposed to radiation could: (1) repair themselves, leaving no damage; (2) die and be replaced, much like millions of body cells do every day; or (3) incorrectly repair themselves, resulting in a biophysical change.
The data on links between radiation exposure and cancer are mostly based on populations receiving high level exposures. Much of this information comes from survivors of the atomic bombs in Japan and people who have received radiation for medical tests and therapy. Cancers associated with high-dose exposure (greater than 50,000 mrem, or 500 mSv—500 times the NRC limit to the public) include leukemia, breast, bladder, colon, liver, lung, esophagus, ovarian, multiple myeloma and stomach cancers.
The time between radiation exposure and the detection of cancer is known as the latent period. This period can be many years. It is often not possible to tell exactly what causes any cancer. In fact, the National Cancer Institute says other chemical and physical hazards and lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, alcohol consumption and diet) make significant contributions to many of these same diseases.
The data show high doses of radiation may cause cancers. But there are no data to establish a firm link between cancer and doses below about 10,000 mrem (100 mSv – 100 times the NRC limit).
Even so, the regulations assume any amount of radiation may pose some risk. They aim to minimize doses to radiation workers and the public. The international community bases standards for radiation protection on something called the linear, no-threshold (LNT) model. The idea is that risk increases as the dose increases. And there is no threshold below which radiation doses are safe. This model is a conservative basis for both international and NRC radiation dose standards. This means the model may overestimate risk.
High radiation doses (again, greater than 50,000 mrem, or 500 mSv) tend to kill cells. Low doses may damage or alter a cell's genetic code (DNA). High doses can kill so many cells that tissues and organs are damaged immediately. This in turn may cause a rapid body response often called Acute Radiation Syndrome. The higher the radiation dose, the sooner the effects of radiation will appear, and the higher the probability of death.
Many atomic bomb survivors in 1945 and emergency workers at the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident experienced this syndrome. Among plant workers and firefighters battling the fire at Chernobyl, 134 received high radiation doses – 80,000 to 1,600,000 mrem (800 to 16,000 mSv) – and suffered from acute radiation sickness. Of these, 28 died within the first three months from their radiation injuries. Two workers died within hours of the accident from non-radiological injuries.
Because radiation affects different people in different ways, it is not possible to say what dose is going to be fatal. However, experts believe that 50 percent of people would die within thirty days after receiving a dose of 350,000 to 500,000 mrem (3,500 to 5,000 mSv) to the whole body, over a period ranging from a few minutes to a few hours. Health outcomes would vary depending on how healthy the person is before the exposure and the medical care they receive. If the exposure affects only parts of the body, such as the hands, effects will likely be more localized, such as skin burns.
Low doses spread out over a long period would not cause an immediate problem. The effects of doses less than 10,000 mrem (100 mSv) over many years, if any, would occur at the cell level. Such changes may not be seen for many years or even decades after exposure.
Genetic effects and cancer are the primary health concerns from radiation exposure. Cancer would be about five times more likely than a genetic effect. Genetic effects might include still births, congenital abnormalities, decreased birthweight, and infant and childhood mortality. These effects can result from a mutation in the cells of an exposed person that are passed on to their offspring. These effects may appear in the direct offspring if the damaged genes are dominant. Or they may appear several generations later if the genes are recessive.
While scientists have observed genetic effects in lab animals given very high doses of radiation, no evidence of genetic effects has been seen in the children born to Japanese atomic bomb survivors.
NRC regulations strictly limit the amount of radiation that can be emitted by a nuclear facility, such as a nuclear power plant. A 1991 study by the National Cancer Institute, "Cancer in Populations Living Near Nuclear Facilities," concluded that there was no increased risk of death from cancer for people living in counties adjacent to U.S. nuclear facilities.

Nova Scotia says 'Thank You' to Boston
Located on the east coast of Canada is Nova Scotia, one of Canada's Atlantic provinces. Every year around Christmas, the province of Nova Scotia sends a massive Christmas tree down to Boston to thank the Bostonian's who aided in the aftermath of the 1917 Halifax Explosion. The Boston aid arrived the day after the explosion that kill 1,900 people and wounded another 9,000.
For those who don't know much about the Halifax Explosion, it was the world's largest man-made explosion before Hiroshima. The explosion happened on December 6th, 1917 in the Halifax harbour. The explosion was caused when a Belgian relief vessel and a French munitions carrier collided during World War I. 1600 Buildings were destroyed, 12,000 houses damaged, and 6000 were left homeless.
The Belgian vessel was leaving the Halifax harbour, heading for New York, when the French Munitions ship was on it's way to wait for a convoy when the ships collided at approx 8:45am. The French munitions vessel was carrying picric acid, gun cotton, TNT, and the top deck was carrying benzol. For roughly 20 minutes, crowds began to gather near the Halifax Harbour to watch the fire and sparks. While they were watching, the crew of the Mont Blonc rowed for their lives to warn people to run. Unfortunately it was too late. The French munitions vessel had drifted and rammed Pier 6. The Halifax explosion flattened everything within 800 metres. Rumour has it the explosion was heard as far away as Prince Edward Island. To add insult to injury, the following day one of the worst blizzards ever recorded in Halifax began and lasted for an astonishing 6 days.
If it wasn't for the aid given by Boston, many more would have died. This years tree was a 49 foot (15 metre) white spruce, donated by the Shatfords from Fox Point, Lunenburg County. The tree has been on this property for almost sixty years. Hundreds of elementary school children were present for the cutting of the tree, and another large group of children awaited it's arrival on the Boston Common.
Chalk one up for heartwarming history lessons.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without rituximab in treating mantle cell lymphoma.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide combined with rituximab to that of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide alone in treating patients who have mantle cell lymphoma.

Full profile →'">
The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
When I first arrived in California several years ago, I selected my primary care doctor based on the recommendation of a colleague from residency. Several months ago, when my doctor announced his departure to join a concierge practice, I assumed I'd find my next physician the same way – through a trusted colleague.
While it may be true that doctors make the worst patients, they generally pick good doctors – or at least the doctors they perceive as good, since it's not at all clear there's any correlation between perception of quality and actual quality.
At the very least, as a physician, you're generally able to steer clear of the conspicuously bad providers ("gome docs"), and equally importantly, you're usually able to get into see even the busy docs whose practices might be closed -- an increasingly common situation in primary care.
Armed with a promising recommendation, I called up the offices of the suggested doctor (whose practice, as expected, was closed to new patients), spoke to helpful staff member, and was told I'd hear back from them about my request, one way or another, by the end of the day.
No reply.
I called back the next day, spoke to a different staff member who had no record of my first call, but was helpful and told me I'd hear back by the end of the day.
Again, no reply. The pattern repeated the following day as well.
By the end of the third day, I gave up, and decided to take my chances with an emerging healthcare company called OneMedical – it's been profiled in Forbes here and here.
OneMedical seems to be positioning itself as "concierge medicine for the masses" – an "affordable luxury," as Howard Schultz of might put it. For a yearly membership fee of $150 (in places like SF) or $200 (if you're in DC, for example) – about the cost of a weekly latte at Starbucks -- you have access to a relatively high touch primary care practice. (In contrast, true concierge practices that I looked at seemed to have yearly fees on the order of $1500.)
The theory is that the membership fee provides the physicians with an adequate cushion, enabling them to take time with patients, and resist what seems like the increasingly common practice of upselling patients on a revenue-enhancing adjacency, such as bogus nutritional supplements, wrinkle creams, or tattoo removal.
Remarkably – following payment of the membership fee – I was able to make a same-day appointment, online, with a provider I selected, a doctor I chose based on location and biosketch (and who [disclosure] I subsequently learned was the mother of a child in my daughter's pre-school class).
The website interface was especially well-designed, and in advance of my first visit, I was able to provide key aspects of my medical history in a way that seemed focused but not onerous. I was also able to link my Withings devices to the practice, so that when I showed up for my appointment, they already had a series of baseline weight and blood pressure measurements. (I will discuss health and wellness gadgets in a future post. Update: here.)
I was pleased with my visit, and equally pleased by the prompt, e-mail follow up, including lab results attached as a PDF. To be sure, I would have preferred a mechanism to access my lab results directly and immediately, and download them to a spreadsheet or health-tracking app; hopefully such an option will be available in the future.
About a week after my initial phone call, I heard back from the first doctor's office that I had contacted, letting me know that the physician I had requested had kindly agreed to open up a spot for me. By that time, however, I already had found – and been seen by – another doctor, and had bought in (both literally and figuratively) to another style of practice.
A few thoughts about this experience:

Pay per click (PPC) advertising.
Pay per click is an innovative concept that has been designed around the whole idea of promoting websites. This is an important feature of a lot of websites and web hosting services. You feature the link of a website on your own blog or site, and every time someone clicks on it and traffic gets generated, you can expect to be paid a certain amount of money. So this is quite an interesting way of earning money, and also making sure that traffic is directed to your website – or wherever else the link directs.
The whole concept of pay per click has taken off like a rocket, primarily because it is a brilliant way of advertising without being too obvious. Quite often, visitors to a website have a tendency to click on the many links that appear alongside, just out of a sense of curiosity. So if you are visiting a food blog, you may be likely to follow a link to some website which promises you tips on weight loss. This is quite a unique way of analyzing your readership, and this research can help to ensure that you are generating readers of this type.
From the time pay per click emerged it has been a huge success, primarily because it involves very little work on the part of the person who is getting paid. All you have to do is feature some link in your own blog, and you can simply place a widget or come up with some creative concept to ensure that people are intrigued enough to click on the link. This is most certainly a very creative concept that can be developed, and is an amazing way of link-building to promote websites.

Ron Cauchi, president of Mattamy Homes' Stelumar Advanced Manufacturing plant, shows off the enormous facility, which can handle the construction of 10 houses at any given time.
Weather problems don't affect construction since these houses are assembled indoors
It's a bitter and blustery day on the western edge of Milton; with the wind chill it feels like -18C.
But Brent Bennett is without hat, coat or gloves as he works to install windows and doors in a house under construction.
That's because Bennett and his co-workers at Mattamy Homes' Stelumar Advanced Manufacturing plant are building homes indoors, for the nearby Hawthorne Village on the Escarpment site.
Bennett, the lead hand in back framing, has worked in construction for 21 years all over Canada and has had to contend with a variety of conditions, such as "being up to your knees in muck one day on site and then having it all frozen over the next day.
"And we all have to deal with shovelling our driveways, but just imagine having to shovel out a construction site."
In comparison, he says, building a home in a factory is heaven.
"There are no rain days, no snow days. It's climate controlled. There's an advantage to working with dry lumber."
The cavernous Stelumar facility on Tremaine Rd. south of Derry Rd. produces a new house a day and 10 are in various stages of progress at any one time. Each day at 4 a.m., the moving production line advances the houses – 600,000 pounds worth – to the next work station.
Since it was launched last summer, more than 60 houses have rolled off the Stelumar line and on to waiting foundations. As many as 220 houses a year will be built there over four years.
"Six months ago, this was pretty hot-off-the-press stuff. We didn't even know if we could do this," says Stelumar president Ron Cauchi.
There were a few bugs to work out. Initially, the skidding system that moves the homes down the line wasn't able to handle the weight of 10 houses and needed adjusting, and the roof-hoisting mechanism, which allows for roofs to be fully assembled on the floor and then lifted into place, needed to be developed.
While factory-built homes aren't a new phenomenon in North America, this facility is a breed apart. Unlike modular builders, which build their homes in sections, then ship the pieces to the site for assembly, the Stelumar homes roll off the line in one piece, with cabinetry, light fixtures, electrical and plumbing systems, and even paint already in place.
"This has nothing to do with modular," Cauchi says. "These houses are extremely architecturally complex with multiple roof lines, dormers, wraparound porches and lofts."
Then, there's the way they are shipped, on a specialized, motorized transporter.
"There's another difference from modular homes, which are put on a flatbed truck and shipped to a site," Cauchi says. "This is a pretty complex piece of machinery. It's like the platform that carries the space shuttle to the launch pad."
For the one-kilometre, 15-minute journey from factory to building lot, the homes are shipped on a private road within the Mattamy site. The houses could be sent along public roads, Cauchi says, but it would require permits, police escorts and disruption of traffic to accommodate the wide, slow-moving load.
About 200 of 300 homes slated for 36- and 46-foot lots at Hawthorne Village on the Escarpment are being built at Stelumar, and the designs are identical to the homes being built on site. (Homebuyers don't get to choose whether their homes will be site-built or factory- produced.) Eighteen different models are being produced, each with up to six different elevations.
"There are three, first-floor layouts typically and three choices of second floors, with options like bay or bow kitchen windows and second-floor laundry rooms," Cauchi says. "It's pretty darn close to custom building. The choices buyers have are mind-boggling. It's not at all cookie-cutter manufacturing."
Cauchi says there are various reasons why Mattamy, the province's largest builder, has taken to factory building, as well as continuing to construct the conventional way. (Cauchi is quick to add that the site-built homes are of comparable quality.)
"The primary driver is customer satisfaction. It's (Mattamy CEO) Peter Gilgan's passion," Cauchi says. One of the biggest issues with consumers is reliability of closing date, he says, and the factory approach means construction is not affected by weather conditions that cause delays on conventional building sites. "You can keep building even in a blizzard."
There's also the issue of quality – in a factory environment, building materials aren't being exposed to the elements, which may cause lumber to warp. And timing is dead on. Because temperature and humidity can be controlled indoors, drywall mud, for example, dries exactly when it's supposed to.
The factory approach shaves 70 days off building a house the conventional way – a new home can be turned out from the factory every 11 days. Another two to five weeks are allotted to complete the on-site work, such as bricking the house, steps, porches, hooking up utilities and landscaping. (Building code regulations and weight issues require bricks to be installed on site.)
At the plant, workers have a safe, comfortable environment, don't have to worry about losing income or making up time due to weather and their tools are in the same location, day after day. The problems of construction site theft are eliminated. And because the workers (100 building crew and 15 office staff) are Mattamy employees, the builder doesn't have to rely on outside trades.
Currently, it costs more for Mattamy to build the houses indoors than on site, but Cauchi says Stelumar's mandate is not to cut costs – it's about improving customer satisfaction and serving as a research and development lab for new technologies and products.
"Today, it operates at a premium but tomorrow, the plan is for a customer satisfaction at neutral cost; to produce the homes at the same cost as on site."
Mattamy launched a pilot factory in Cambridge a few years ago where homes were built inside an old aircraft hangar.
Those houses were built exactly as they would have been on-site and finished only to the drywall stage before being shipped out. The line didn't move and trades had to be scheduled, rather than working simultaneously at designated work stations.
Mattamy continues to operate a manufacturing facility in Cambridge, which supplies Milton's plant with prefabricated wall and floor panels.
The walls are built on 24-inch centres rather than the usual 16, but are stronger because of the rigid polyurethane foam insulation. Value engineering (designing products at the lowest cost while maintaining quality) and computerized design and manufacture allow for optimized load bearing through aligned floor joists, studs and roof trusses, Cauchi says. The timberframe structure itself is more than strong enough to meet requirements. The rigid foam adds a structural strength bonus.
The engineered design also maximizes heating and cooling efficiency as ducts from the basement furnace can be lined up to run straight up to the attic, cutting the distance hot or cool air has to travel.
Rigid foam insulation is usually found only in high-end custom homes, Cauchi says. It would be cost-prohibitive for Mattamy to hire people to spray foam in site-built homes, but the prefabricated panels used in the plant are cheaper. Fewer wall studs and tightly controlling waste mean the Stelumar homes use 25 per cent less lumber. Over the factory's four-year life span, producing 800 to 900 homes, an estimated 40-hectare woodlot will be saved, Cauchi says.
When Hawthorne Village is finished, the factory will be recycled, disassembled, then set up at another Mattamy site.
Several such factories are in future Mattamy plans, though locations have not yet been announced. Cauchi says they will be large sites with hundreds of lots.
All Hawthorne Village homes are built to Energy Star standard. "In fact, these are better insulated than Energy Star," he says.
Number of houses the Mattamy factory can produce annually. Ten are in production at any one time, with one new house produced every 11 days.
Factory size in square feet.
Employees at the plant.
Number of days shaved off conventional site building.
Kilometre between factory and building lots.
Weight in pounds of a fully loaded production line.
Percentage of lumber saved over site-built homes, due to tight control of waste and reduced need for wall studs.
Similar plants Mattamy is considering for the GTA over the next five years. Milton plant will be disassembled and moved to a new site.

CYRIL DESPRES WRAPS UP THE WIN IN THE DESAFIO LITORAL RALLY2012-07-28 20:42Cyril Despres, KTM's 4 x Dakar winner went out an did the business required on Saturday to take stage and overall victories on the final day of the new six-day Desafio Rally in Argentina, part of the Dakar Series. On a day that was a mere short dash of some 80 km compared to the other competition days, the French-born rider finished his week's outing with a win in the final stage just short of a minute behind local rider Mario Gomez with KTM rider Jakub 'Kuba' Przgonski in third. That was enough to put Despres and Przgonski 1-2 on the overall podium Gomez picked up the minor podium place. Despres' factory teammate, albeit from a different discipline, Taddy Blazusiak, KTM's Extreme Enduro and EnduroCross specialist, finished a creditable ninth in the final stage. For the Polish rider it wasa heroic nineteenth overall in what could be described as a baptism of fire into the world of rally sport. Currently on a long break from the US EnduroCross competition, Taddy decided to 'stay on two wheels' and join his friend Cyril on this latest South American adventure. Completely new to the sport and the finesse of managing the navigation and the road book, Taddy went out and gave it a very good shot. His overall result also reflects the fact that he did not finish stage two after crashing and aggravating an old shoulder injury and on Stage Five he proved to be a very good teammate when he offered his wheel to Cyril after he had wrecked a tire, allowing the leader to keep going and secure the victory. Going into the final stage Cyril was quietly confident but underlined that 'anything can happen' in the last dash for the finish and while the final day was the shortest in terms of kilometers, it was by no means a pushover. The first part of the stage was fast track punctuated with tricky hairpin bends and others that were slow with very different radiuses. They wove their way through a complex maze of palm trees, estuaries and bridges over rivers that flow into the Paraná. To wrap up the day's rider they tackled a section of loose surface very typical of the Litoral region. This Dakar series event was not only a good opportunity for Despres, Prozgonski and Blazusiak to keep in shape in the mid season, it was also an excellent opportunity for South American riders to measure themselves against several of the world's best. Results Stage Six 1, Cyril Despres, France, KTM at 40 minutes 13 2, Mauricio Gomez, Argentina, Yamaha at 0.51 seconds 3, Jakub Przgonski, Poland, KTM, at 1.01 minutes 4, Javier Pizzolito, Argentina, Honda at 2.05 5, Pablo Rodriguez, Argentina, Honda at 2.48 6, David Tieppo, Beta, at 3.48 7, Guiral, Honda, 4. 42 8, Salvattiera, Honda at 5.11 9, Taddy Blazusiak, Poland, KTM, at 10.26 10, Ortiz Yamaha, at 5,21 Overall results after Stage Six (of six) 1, Despres, 13 hours 56.54 2, Przgonski 14:01.39 3, Gomez at 14:49.09 4, Rodriguez, 15:30.32 5, Pizzolito, 15:32.46 6, Israel, at 15:41.26 7, Ortiz, 17.10.06 8, Guiral, 17.13.20 9, Laurent Lazzard, Uruguay, Yamaha, 17.53.04 10, Jorge Aguilar, KTM, 18.05.30 19, Taddy Blazusiak, Poland, KTM 24:46.51 (including a DNF in Stage Two) Source: KTM Click here to visit our forums to discuss this story |

Hollywood conjures up Harry Potter theme park
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Harry Potter is going Hollywood with a new theme park based at Universal Studios that will feature a Hogwarts castle as its centerpiece alongside rollercoasters and other rides.
NBCUniversal and film studio Warner Bros on Tuesday unveiled "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter," which will be built at the Universal Studios Hollywood site with attractions that are similar to the money-spinning Potter theme park opened in June 2010 at Universal's resort in Orlando, Florida.
The new theme park could take 3-4 years to construct and is likely to cost several hundred million dollars but will create more than 1,000 jobs and is expected to boost tourism to the Los Angeles area, officials said.
The two companies -- Universal runs the theme parks and Warner Bros. owns the rights to the "Harry Potter" movies -- also said the "Wizarding World" in Florida would be expanded.
Toasting Tuesday's announcement with mugs of "Butterbeer", officials said the Hollywood park will be centered around a huge Hogwarts castle and feature rides and other attractions based on the adventures of the popular British boy wizard and his friends who use sorcery to battle evil.
Author J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" book series have sold some 450 million copies worldwide and the eight movies from the Warner Bros. studios have taken more than $7.7 billion at global box-offices, making the films the largest-grossing franchise in history.
With its "Dragon's Challenge" rollercoaster and life-size model of the Hogwarts Express train, the 20-acre "Wizarding World" park in Orlando has proved a huge success with fans. It drew more than 7 million visitors in its first year and boosted NBCUniversal's theme park revenue by 33 percent to $1.5 billion for the first nine months of 2011, according to company results.
Officials did not say how many of the Florida rides would make their way to the Hollywood park, nor did they say if any new rides were envisaged. But they did say the new attraction would be created with the same commitment to authenticity with the books and movies as the one in Florida.
Warner Bros. chairman Barry Meyer called Tuesday's announcement "probably the best holiday gift we could give to the legions of Harry Potter fans worldwide." Continued...

They tend to understand that they actually have to pay for anything that the "government" gives them
That's why they turned a surplus into a deficit with unfunded tax cuts and wars. Great insight, dumbass.
No, the Democrats don't benefit by creating poor people. Poor people are still so frustrated with the state of the economy that some are even willing to ignore all the progress we've made in the last few years and elect members of the other party, the one that nearly ruined us. The fact that the economy is struggling is absolutely a bad thing for the Democrats.
Truth: That which is true or in accordance with fact or reality
Sorry you couldn't use semantics to argue your incorrect beliefs.
The one trait that binds atheist fundamentalism and religious fundamentalism together is a strict, literalist, and absolutist interpretation of scripture.
I'm an atheist and I don't give a fuck about how scripture is interpreted because it's fiction, so naw that's not true at all.

I love this program, & wish it were more than just an hour long.
I play the recorder, so I especially liked tonight's program dedicated to recorder music. I had no idea there were so many!
I had a lot of trouble finding that video, though. And then I couldn't get it back when I closed it for a moment. The QXR website is not at all user-friendly, esp. for techno-idiots like me (my recorder teacher thinks my origins are in a previous century, & that we've played together before, but that's another story...).

1986-2016: Celebrating 30 Years of sending Scottish Music Worldwide.
10 tracks: One For The Ditch * Vincent Black Lightning * Scarecrow Song * Man of War * Gin I Were a Baron's Heir * Ride Away * King of Rome * When I'm Gone * Doesn't Get Better * Ship in Order.
The debut solo album from Ewan Robertson, a talented singer and guitarist and a member of Breabach.
Ewan was accepted into the National Centre Of Excellence For Traditional Music in 2000, where he studied fiddle and pipes. A shortage of accompanists at the school led Ewan to experiment with the guitar, which he continued to play whilst he was enrolled for a degree in Outdoor Education in Glasgow. There, he used the vibrant session scene to develop a driving style of guitar accompaniment. Ewan graduated with First Class Honours in 2005 and helped start the group Breabach, who won a Danny Kyle Award at Celtic Connections that year.
In 2008 Ewan Robertson became the first singer/guitarist to win the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician Of The Year award, which included a solo recording deal with Greentrax Recordings.
There are two traditional songs on the album - Gin I Were A Baron's Heir and Ship In Order - but others are contemporary works, including Vincent Black Lightning (Richard Thompson), When I'm Gone (Phil Ochs), The King Of Rome (Dave Sudbury) and Scarecrow Song (James Grant).
Ewan hails from Carrbridge in Strathspey, and when not on the road playing music he works as a part-time firefighter in Carrbridge (he has many an exciting tale to tell about that) - this album has been long in the making, but has been slowly maturing like a good malt whisky from Speyside!
Ewan Robertson (vocals, guitar) with Angus Lyon (piano, Hammond organ, Fender Rhodes, accordion, vocals), Ewan MacPherson (guitar, mandolin, banjo, jaws harp, vocals), Rick Taylor (trombone, vocals), Patsy Reid (fiddle, viola, cello), Alan Train (pedal steel guitar), Donald Hay (drums, percussion), James Lindsay (double bass) and Emily Smith (backing vocals).
