Dr Udgeath Dhir ,Senior Consultant Cardiac Sciences, Medanta Heart Institute, has done his MBBS from S.N Medical college and had earlier worked with King George Medical university, G B Pant hospital , Escorts heart institute and Sanjay Gandhi PG Institute
His interest lies in coronary artery bypass grafting, aortic root surgery, transapical aortic valve replacement, heart failure surgery, endovascular thoracic aneurysm. Dr Dhir in an interaction with Ekta Srivastava, Health technology elaborates on Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery…
What is the patient focus at Medanta heart institute? Is there a particular problem in which Medanta excels?
The main onus is "Patient first" at Medanta heart institute we deal with a wide array of cardiac ailments, which can be broadly categorized into super subspecialties like, I) Pediatric cardiac science, II) Electrophysiology, III) Interventional, IV) Non – invasive, V) Surgical, VI) Preventive cardiology, VII) Heart failure. We excel in all the above mentioned specialities with added crown of minimally invasive prodecures.
Why has cardiovascular disease been a focus of Medanta? Is the patient POP growing? Is this problem particularly acute in country now?
Cardiovascular disease has both financial & psychological implication on the society. By the year 2020 our country would be accounting for 35% of world population suffering from cardiac ailments. Definitely due to enormous change in lifestyle, cardiovascular disease with diabetes is expected to be an epidemic. There are various other factors for an upsurge in patients.
What changes have you observed in treating these patients? Have outcomes improved, stayed the same or gotten worse.
Our cardiac science treatment which progressed immensely had made the management of cardiac patients extremely fail proof with excellent results. Just a mere example the morbidity and mortality rate for patients undergoing coronary cardiac surgery is less than one percent (1%). Nevertheless there are still certain lacunae which need further improvement. Though general awareness is there among the common population and they are also becoming vigilant about their symptoms. So we are able to detect a problem earlier and thus enabling us to deliver better results.
Please discuss your level of interest regarding cardiology & cardiothoracic surgery. What changes in energy are most affects the way you are practice.
Cardiac sciences are an astonishing branch but to me preventive cardiology, in which detection of disease at earlier stage can change the spectrum of disease, is really close to me. Secondly in cardiac surgery all the minimally invasive procedures be it valvular surgery, congenital surgery or coronary I have a slight bent. Heart transplant is another arena where due to shortage of organ we are lacking but which has an awesome role in management of heart failure patients. Imaging has drastically made us wise in early detection, decision making& overt management. The echo cardiography has progressed from 2-Dimensional to 3D and 4 dimensional and added reconstruction of images made our lives easier. 128 slice CT images, MRI of heart, stress thallium & PET scan of heart have made our generation of surgeons & physicians wiser in taking appropriate decisions, which were quite tough in earlier years. Virtual imaging with 3D reconstruction and printing, which is right now in infant stage in cardiac sciences, will be the future.
Please tell us about the one HEART TEAM concept in India?
Teams make better decisions than individuals, old concept with new features. Without doubt we are not so enthusiastic about heart team concept as the west, but still we are looking forward. Conceptually it's a very good that a group of experts discuss together "the best customized treatment" for that particular disease pattern. The team gives inputs and discusses the pros and cons and then design the best evidence based treatment for the patient. It's gradually being incorporated in various anecdotes of cardiac sciences and has a bright future.
What have been the biggest advances in Cardiothoracic Surgery in the last ten years?
Cardiology & Cardiac surgery go hand in hard. The imaging which progressed in making early detection made us wiser in performing cardiac surgery. As far as advances are concerned our anesthesia has now been more refined & safe with advent of newer anesthetic agents and post operative pain management. With the advent of newer stabilizers now we are now doing off pump coronary bypass in nearly all the patients. Total arterial bypass is now being performed more often. Similarly port access surgery with very small incision and not involving traditional long steronotomy is being performed with minimal risk .The advent of newer tissue valves, now the patients who have undergone valve replacement, don't require blood thinners. With minimal approach now we can replace & repair valves which were not possible previously, credit goes to the imaging technology which made the fraternity wise in endeavoring such surgeries even in high risk group of patients.
The development of ventricular assist devices for patients who were in terminal stages of heart failure has brought of new ray of hope. In this group of patients with the advancing technology of magnetic levitation newer ventricular assist devices have overcome previous problems of old generation devices and is now being given as destination therapy instead of bridge to transplant therapy.
The miniaturization of cardiopulmonary bypass circuits and bio compatible circuits we have cut down some unforeseen& predictable complications. The use of ECMO (extra corporeal membrane oxygenation). IABP (Intra Aortic Baloon Pump) and other temporary devices to assist heart and lungs has been a big relief to patients and doctors both in treating really tough patients. The new feather to cap is trans-catheter aortic valve implantation in patients who needs valve replacement but could not be done previously because of very high risk factors, is possible now with good early results.
Surgery can be quite unforgives especially because you can see the outcomes of your operation. So you have any advice for asping cardiothoracic surgery.
Cardiac surgery is an integration of knowledge, skills and attitudes. Continuous flow of learning with practice and incorporation of confidence sans ego should be the motto. There are no shortcuts in cardiac surgery. I must end by saying from Michelangelo "If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery it would not seem so wonderful at all".

There are 7 things you need to prepare for when entering any kind of negotiation.
1. Understand your position
Know what you want to get out of your negotiation. Be clear to yourself what your bottom line is. And don't be mistaken; everyone has a bottom line making the potential job or project worthwhile.
2. Understand their position
Find out as much as you can about the other party. What is their priority (price, service or speed)? What is your competition offering?
3. Convey the value
No matter what you are offering, there must be value in it. Explain the value with examples, case studies, personal stories and data. If the project saves the customer money, show it. If the job gives new experience to a student, relay the story of the former employee in that position.
4. Define negotiable terms
What would your customer value that takes you little time? Find out what you want in return for your offer. Make as many decisions about this as possible before you enter negotiations.
5. Use all your senses
Use research, intuition, common sense, the big picture, read body language and listen intently. The more you ask, the more verbal and non-verbal information you will receive that will help you with number 2.
6. Get perspective
Along with understanding your position, recognize your stronger and weaker assets. Emphasize strong traits and go easy on the weaker parts of your proposal. Don't lie or hide facts, just keep them in plain sight without placing a lot of attention to it.
7. Prepare your price
If you never have to negotiate your rate, your price is generally too low for the value you provide. If you always have to negotiate, maybe you have set your initial price too high or your need to work on your value story. If a side product is always added to the core product, consider combining them for a good price and ask for something else in return.

The Obnoxious Orange
Haha, found it quite funny. I find it even funnier that the obviously underage users on here are defending the Annoying Orange, spouting "YOU STOLE IT BE ORIGINAL OMG SUCH A RIP OFF" when its a parody - big difference, idiots.

Breaking the Bank
I think its a great game with some good choices of breaking in and funny outcomes, but it is a bit short. I definitely think the sequel is a great improvement, but this game is still good.
And I'm hoping the sequel to the sequel will have even more improvements.
Major improvement on a past submission of yours, I see you're great at making flash now. I like the drawing style and... yeah, I like it!
Scale of the Universe 2
Just amazing. Easy to use, expands on the last one a lot. Loads of new additions and descriptions for everything. This must have taken so long, you can see the effort put into it quite clearly - brilliant!
Rubble Trouble New York
Ugh, gods sake stop rating the game low because its exactly the same as the first one with two new levels - it IS the first one! Its not a sequel, they've just renamed it and added two levels because Nitrome want to make the series have a trend of being set in different locations.
Anyway, fantastic game, along with Tokyo. Love the destruction, humor and the different types of weapons - can't wait for a possible third one! Maybe in London?
Pogo Swing!
Pretty good game, great art, nice choice of music and some good upgrades. Bit too easy to get most of the upgrades, and I got a bit bored since there wasn't a lot of interesting things while you're launched. Maybe more things like boosts, and upgrades that are harder to get (I could max out some upgrades in one jump). Had fun though, good job!
"Tetris" Remix
Sounds a lot like the Tetris theme and its an awesome remix, great job!
You're already married? :(
Damn! Great song anyway :D
So angelic. I love your voice. Makes me feel warm inside!
What the fuck? I could shit a better review, what were you thinking!?
Nice art, its obviously not meant to be detailed. Did remind me of MC Escher's work.
Doctor EW
This is a really cool piece of art! I'm a big fan of Doctor Who and your animations, I love this drawing. Maybe you could make a video inspired by this or something, that would be amazing.

Ron Rosenbaum came of age professionally in the midst of the New Journalism movement of the late Sixties and early Seventies, and quickly established himself among the first rank of young magazine writers. He started at The Village Voice and within a few years was a contributing editor at Esquire where he delivered some of the seminal pieces of the Seventies, including "Secrets of the Little Blue Box," a deeply-reported expose of the cultish world of phone phreaks (an early version of hackers), and "The Last Secrets of Skull and Bones," a revealing look into the clandestine world of Yale's most famous society.
Rosenbaum's pieces are meticulously reported, always smart, and never without a point of view. They have voice and style and scholarship. As Luc Sante once noted:
Rosenbaum's major assets, apart from his tactical detachment, are his enterprise — in pursuing leads, incessantly making phone calls, reading unedited transcripts — and his voice. The latter is a masterly concoction, a blend of boy reporter, Ancient Mariner, lounge lizard and grandpa by the fireside. He is a showman, and that allows him to put over dryly complex exposition, minute textual analysis, even (as in the Dead Sea Scrolls business) fearsomely recondite arguments with ease and flair.
In a review of Rosenbaum's 2011 study, How the End Begins: The Road to a Nuclear World War III, Dwight Garner added:
Mr. Rosenbaum's books are both profound and excitable. They resemble grad school seminars that have been hijacked by the sardonic kid in the back, the one with the black sweater and nicotine-stained fingers. Mr. Rosenbaum sometimes writes as if he were pacing the seminar room floor, scanning for sharp new ideas. At other times, it's as if he were passing around red wine and a hookah, seeking to conjure deep, mellow, cosmic thoughts. He's pretty good in both modes.
During his initial run at Esquire, which lasted through the late Seventies, Rosenbaum showed his versatility writing long investigative pieces like the curious case of the murder on location of a Burt Reynolds movie, or the even weirder account of twin Manhattan gynecologists of questionable repute found dead in one of the brother's apartments. And you don't want to miss this tour de force on the George Jackson murder trail, featuring Angela Davis and Black Power galore. But Rosenbaum also wrote a string of lighter features, full of curiosity and fun, like the one on the origins of Oreo cookies, or the guy who created kanned laughter, or the significance of the Crunch! of a Pringles potato chip.
Rosenbaum moved on—notably to Harper's, The New York Times Magazine, and The New York Observer—but returned to Esquire on occasion. In the Eighties, he delivered expert profiles of Texas billionaire—and future Presidential hopeful—Ross Perot; Van Gordon Sauter, producer of CBS News when Dan Rather replaced the iconic anchorman, Walter Cronkite; and conservative speechwriter Peggy Noonan, then a hotshot in Reagan's White House. But he was never better than in his 1983 portrait of Las Vegas entertainer extraordinaire, Wayne Newton:
People who come to Las Vegas leave the safety of their homes and bring their year's savings to a precarious place perched in a desolate landscape that refused to support even vegetable life without massive infusions of Teamster loans to pay for the air conditioning. They come to place themselves under the dispensation of the laws of chance rather than those of God or man, to squander their time and money on things that are against the rules back home: gambling, prostitutes, drinking at dawn. There are no clocks on the wall: the laws of time are suspended along with those of morality.
They don't expect to get away with it; they don't expect to win. They expect to lose money but to come home with something more precious: an experience of the borderline, an adventure, a frisson of danger, a brush with the frontier ethos in which life hangs on the next card, anything can happen, and time doesn't matter.
…From the very opening minutes of his act Wayne begins playing on the expectation of something special happening, the dream that tonight some magic suspension of the rules is in the offing—the ultimate unpurchasable Vegas experience.
…Everyone leaves The Show feeling totally satisfied, thinking how hip, how simpático, how special the whole evening was; how they've been present at one of those rare moments when the rules went by the board; how Wayne drove himself past his own limits, knocking himself out just for them. And yet each of the twelve shows I saw started and ended at the exact same time on the dot.
It takes a shrewd and talented showman to pull off an illusion of this sort night after night, show after show. I began to wonder after a while whether everybody really bought this illusion or whether at some point they decided to buy it. They wanted to be able to go home to Arizona or New Jersey, wherever, and tell their neighbors at the mall how one night in Vegas they helped create some memorable show-biz magic. The emperor's new set of clothes looks even more grand to those who believe they've had a hand in the tailoring job.
While you're in the mood, try a little tenderness with Rosenbaum's adoring profile of Linda Ronstadt. And dig into our trove of Rosenbaumia—from Chappaquiddick to Charles Portis—over at the Essential Ron Rosenbaum page.

This weekend, Jackson State University will celebrate the 100th anniversary of a football program that began modestly in 1911.
What a century it's been.
Hundreds of victories. Legendary players like Lem Barney, Jackie Slater and Walter Payton. Legendary coaches like W.C. Gordon.
Sixteen Southwestern Athletic Conference championships - a total that trails only Southern (18) and Grambling (22).
"You and I both know that when you talk about Jackson State and you talk about Grambling, you're talking about two schools (that are) basically in the same boat," Grambling coach Doug Williams said.
Perhaps that's why JSU chose this weekend for a big celebration.
What better time to hold a party than when Grambling comes to town?
Jackson State and Grambling meet at 2 p.m. Saturday in Veterans Memorial Stadium. They've faced each other six times in the past four years, including twice in the SWAC Championship game. And when two of the SWAC's most prestigious programs collide, it's always a hoot.
College football historians know all about Eddie Robinson and six Pro Football Hall of Famers, and, come to think of it, Williams, the current coach.
JSU, of course, can nearly match Grambling, player for player, title for title.
This, of course, is not exactly a vintage year for Grambling - but Williams' team hasn't called it a season. In fact, Grambling has won three straight games, pulling into a three-way tie for second place in a rather weak Western Division.
"I thought they were always good," JSU coach Rick Comegy said. "They might've stumbled along the way. ... They're winning some games, which in the past they lost and should've won. We're just going to play football and do what we've got to do in order to come out on top."
Comegy's team, like Southern, cannot play in the SWAC title game, thanks to a low APR score that led conference presidents and chancellors to ban both teams from the event.
But JSU has another goal: to finish atop the Sheridan poll and claim a black college national championship.
Jackson State ascended to No. 1 this week, thanks largely to a dynamic offense led by star quarterback Casey Therriault.
In a 44-14 blowout of Prairie View last week, Therriault threw for 398 yards and three touchdowns.
"I think he has that feel in the pocket," Williams said of Therriault. "He knows when trouble is lurking. He knows when to stand there, and he certainly knows when to get out."
Prairie View coach Heishma Northern certainly agrees.
Northern could only chuckle as he recalled one play last week, in which PV linebacker Elton Holmes had a free and clear shot at sacking Therriault.
The quarterback pump-faked, causing Holmes to jump. That allowed Therriault to take off and escape.
"He has a great feel for the game. You can watch him slide two steps and throw sidearm."
Therriault, of course, is not a one-person wrecking crew. With dynamic running backs and athletic receivers, JSU ranks first in the SWAC in total offense, scoring offense and passing offense.
But JSU is also flawed. It ranks last in turnover margin at minus-16, and it has made only three field goals all season.
Earlier this season, Jackson State barely escaped from Southern and Mississippi Valley State, winning both games by a combined five points.
So, will JSU win handily, or will it get sloppy and stumble against Grambling, a team that rebounded from a terrible start to win its past three games?
"We've just got to get ourselves prepared and try to be ready for everything. ... But we know there's no way they're going to come in and say, ?OK, Jackson State, here it is,' " Comegy said.
In other words, JSU doesn't expect Grambling to hand over an easy win.
After all, these are pretty proud football programs.

12 HackCollege Days of Christmas: Nine Onion Routers of Anonymity
Ever since an LMU student threatened to shoot some people on campus, surfing the 'Net anonymously has become a hot topic here. We followed up with our own post about surfing anonymously, but today we're going to cover one of those methods a little bit more in depth: Tor.
We'll save the topic of "Why Would You Ever Want to Surf Anonymously?" for a rainy day. There are times when you'd need to. Hopefully you don't surf anonymously to make shooting threats.
Tor is like a game of telephone, except no information gets lost. It was originally developed by the US Naval Research Lab according to Wikipedia (I rock at research). Tor allows users to surf just about as anonymously as possible. It's considered an "onion" routing system. Your message are sent into the Tor network, sent around the world to other Tor clients, and then delivered.
Read Part 3 of Rosario's post to get yourself started with Tor. I'm going to talk about how to use it.
Using Tor
Tor is one of those things that will probably be built in to computers in 10 years if privacy ever becomes a huge issue. If you don't see any speed difference while using Tor, it would be a good idea to use it all the time.
If your bank's system can handle Tor, it would be a good idea to use Tor especially for this task. The more I learn through my computer science classes, the more afraid I become. The information is–don't worry–already encrypted, but encryption can be broken. Better safe than sorry.
For 90% of readers, the Tor button will get the job done. It provides an easy toggle for your Tor surfing.
Torify Other Applications
Let's say you want to cover your tracks while using Miro to download your TV shows or movies. Tor with a rotating IP address might be one of the safest ways to do such a thing. The Tor folks recommend not doing this because it might overload the network (torrent moves a lot of data), so make sure you're also serving your computer as a Tor node. This is only for the ultra-paranoid; the MPAA will probably never find you, probably.
I would walk you through how to Torify Miro, but there's no easy way to do this and I'm not a Tor expert. Thankfully, the Tor project has a how-to page to get you by.

I have to admit that I am a sucker for supernatural series, books, and movies, which is probably evident from the number of them I have reviewed thus far.
Bitten is another in a long list of series that I have started, and instantly regretted. But because I possess an unrelentingly completionist character flaw, I couldn't stop.
Premise: Elena Michaels is the only female werewolf in the world. She belongs to the American Pack, but has chosen to distance herself from the violence that seems to be part and parcel of that world. Part of her decision stems from a similar need to distance herself from Clayton Danvers, her ex-fiancé. However, when the alpha, Jeremy Danvers, calls due to a situation, she heeds his call to go back. Season 1 focuses on her trying to keep her new life and old from intermingling. The subsequent two seasons have other overarching storylines, but would involve spoilers even for a bare outline.
Review: Bitten is not a great show. It had a solid premise, and I believe it was based on a series of best-selling books. The trouble with adaptations, even though series are more suited to long-form storytelling like books as compared to movies, is that they lose some of the instinctive sense that the original author possesses. Case in point is Game of Thrones. Anyway, I digress.
Theme: The show is an unrelenting drama. And when I say unrelenting, I mean that the drama is ceaseless. There are very few notes of humour leavening the heaviness, and those are few and far between. In fact, I only saw those in the first season, because as members of the Pack started to get killed off, none of the characters retained a modicum of happiness in the avalanche of their grief, desire for revenge, and constant issues.
While there is nothing wrong with dramas, the viewer tires of so much seriousness. Also, some of the issues are not developed convincingly, thus making them hard to support emotionally. By the time I reached the end of the show, there was a strong sense of "Get over yourselves!".
The tone was disappointing by overall it was possible to overlook. What was utterly ridiculous was a lack of background development. The potential was glaringly there, but not used at all. The wolves' mythology wasn't explored, until the second season, and it was a blink-and-miss moment.
Characters: Unrelatable, flat, and one-dimensional characters. No doubt the actors were good, but they had very little to work with. The only person with a seemingly faceted personality is Clayton Danvers, but it is the barest flicker. Elena Michaels is whiny, damaged, and constantly sighing and complaining. Jeremy Danvers is strong and authoritative. Nick Sorrentino is fun and charming, and later also a little damaged. Logan is supportive, till he has problems, then he becomes the ultimate whiner.
Acting: I imagine the actors are good, but due to the paucity of material, they probably couldn't do much.
What I liked: The premise is interesting. I also like the foreshadowing in some bits. It was very subtly done and natural, and I only caught it because I am an obsessive dissector of stories and dialogues.
What I disliked: The character development, story development, the lack of tone, the unresolved issues, and so on.

11 August 2015
It might be silly season for the papers, but there was nothing funny about last week for the NHS. Healthcare regulators wrote to NHS hospitals, demanding they go further and faster to reduce their deficits. NHS England penned a similar letter to commissioners. Meanwhile it emerged that the Department of Health had to eat into ring-fenced reserves last year to balance the books (just).
None of this will come as a surprise to healthcare leaders. Over half of NHS providers ended last year in the red with a deficit of more than £800 million, up from £100 million in 2013-14. This is forecast to spiral to nearly £2 billion this year. As David Bennett wrote in his letter to Trusts this week, this is "simply unaffordable." There is now considerable pressure from the centre to keep the deficit at just £1 billion this year.
Yet while it came as no surprise, this suite of interventions set a sombre mood. According to the Health Service Journal, the message for Chief Executives was loud and clear: "cash is king again." While quality had been the due north of health reform in the wake of the Francis and Keogh inquiries, "now it's going the other way." As one Chief Executive put it, "You have to make a choice: are you going to be sacked as a chief executive for the money or are you going to be sacked for the quality? Personally I'd rather be sacked for the money, but there's genuinely no option."
These comments raise interesting questions for policymakers, no more so than for the Government. Speaking straight after the Election, the Prime Minister told healthcare leaders unequivocally that "there is no choice between efficiency savings and quality of care." Indeed Hunt's mantra of "better care costs less" does not fit well with this Chief Exec's analysis either.
There is certainly truth to Cameron's comment. As Professor Michael Porter, the Harvard business guru, told Reform "value for patients means delivering excellent health outcomes…and doing that very, very efficiently." Indeed, "If you think strategically about how we can restructure and streamline our care delivery process [coordination of services around the patient], what we're finding is that cost reduction opportunities in healthcare over and over again are 25, 30, 35, 40 per cent."
But, whether true or not, it clearly doesn't feel that way on the frontline. Why? The Chief Executive's comment that you won't be "sacked for the money" is telling. While staff are held to account, often very publically, for performance and quality of care, the consequences for financial failure are much less clear. As the King's Fund recently remarked, "When caught between an apparently clear conflict between quality of care and financial balance, so far the conflict is being decided in favour of the former."
Take the special measures trusts, for example. While many are showing signs of quality improvement, getting there left the 11 original trusts with a combined deficit of more than £140 million in 2014-15. Just last week CQC removed King's Lynn from special measures even though Monitor warned that the trust had a long way to go to clear its £14 million deficit.
For all hospitals the choice seems clear: maintain performance by hiring more staff (often at great expense), or face the stern consequences of failings of care. As the National Audit Office has warned, trusts now assume that a bailout from the centre is guaranteed to be given. It is easy to see why the choice seems simple and the recent confusions over safe staffing have certainly done little to change that.
The danger, of course, is that now the pendulum will have to swing too far "the other way." Having failed to make sustainable improvements to efficiency in the last Parliament, Monitor and the Government are now having to demand much quicker turnaround of balance sheets. This is likely to mean loosening targets for performance and clinical indicators in the short term, including waiting times. No doubt some in the NHS are still hoping for another cheque from the Chancellor in the Spending Review this Autumn to make sure that doesn't happen. But with other departments on track for 40 per cent cuts, they are likely to be sorely disappointed.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) --Baby showers are a way to celebrate a mom-to-be and get the family stocked up on essentials for the new addition.
If you've ever wondered what to give as a guest or what to register for as the expectant parents, one toddler mom is breaking down and getting real.
Toni Hammer, a self proclaimed woman in her 30s and a mom of two toddlers tells us in her opinions what moms really need in a blog on Scary Mommy called: No More Baby Blankets: A Real Life Baby Shower Guide.
She says these things may seem pretty practical and maybe a little boring but they are absolutely necessities.
First, batteries. And not just a small back of AA, but the BIG box of all different kinds, from AAA to D. Anything from toys to swings need them and she says you can never have enough in stock.
She also says another necessity is a box of screwdrivers and diapers in all sizes.
Another suggestion? Three months of a housecleaning service! Hammer says everything is overwhelming to a new mom, so why not give her a break.
You could also go for a spa gift certificate to give the new parents a break and a little relaxation.
Next, forget the newborn onesies, Hammer says consider size 3T clothes, because she says, when the little baby becomes a big kid, no one's buying them a new wardrobe. Also, shopping with a toddler is not that relaxing.
And finally, consider coffee, beer, and booze. Because, she says - motherhood.

While most poltical pundits attributed Perry's oops moment to a memory lapse, we have learned that Perry's stumbling was not due to a loss for words but due to a loss of courage. Perry's real plans for a shake-up of the executive branch are so drastic that he was unable to admit it on national TV. We have obtained a secret list of the changes Perry would make if her were president and his notes on why he would do so. Perry would:
1. Change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of Offense. "I've watched enough Cowboy losses to know that you have to score more points than the other guys."
2. Eliminate the Department of Justice. "Justice can get in the way of a good execution."
3. Eliminate the EEOC. "A fellah should be able to hunt at the camp of his choice no matter what it may be called."
4. Eliminate the EPA. "Who needs government red tape polluting up the rights of business to make a profit."
5. Eliminate Congress. "Who needs government red tape polluting up the rights of business to make a profit."
6. Change the name of the Department of Energy to the Department of Oil and Gas. "We don't want the communists who are trying to create so-called alternative energy to think they have been invited to the party."
7. Eliminate the FAA. "We need to let the invisible hand of the free market of the air handle traffic control without government interference."
8. Eliminate the Department of Labor. "All the jobs have moved to China and India"
9. Eliminate the Department of Transportation. "If a guy who owns trucks can make more of a profit by not having to make sure his trucks have good brakes, why should the government be allowed to interfere with his bottom line?"
10. Eliminate whatever the department of immigration is called. "The unions are afraid of people who really want to work instead of complaining about having safe working conditions and demanding above market wages. We need to open the borders to allow competition to drive a free market."
11. Eliminate the Department of the Interior. "I got three words for this: drill baby drill"
12. Eliminate FEMA. "We can't have the Democrats trying to raise taxes on the rich job creators the next time they start crying over what they say some people might need after a natural disaster." And finally,
13. Eliminate the Department of the Constitution. "Communists hide behind it."

The old expression "Time is money" is true. Time is the only thing every person have about equal amounts of in this world and that's why we get so frustrated when we are wasting it on something. Turned the other way around it's also a master unique selling point for entrepreneurs.
Lew Cirne the founder New relic, also founded a company called Wily, built to make the programming language Java self diagnostic while running. This is pretty standard stuff these days but not when Cirne started. The product became a massive success, and why? The software saved hours of waiting and troubleshooting. As Cirne puts it "Good software doesn't waste users' precious time, and makes those hours spent in front of the screen more pleasant and more productive." If you haven't listened to his session on the Stanford Entrepreneurial Thought Leader series, do that.
Another good example is Spotify. When they launched there was already free music available online, via bittorrent and MP3 sites. What Spotify did was to make it a more convenient experience by offering you to instantly find and play a song, with a few clicks. Suddenly there was no need to surf endless sites cluttered with porn ads to find the best version of a favourite song, and then wait for it to download before you could listen to it.
Our time is most valuable when we feel we have little of it. We want to have time for both family and work, need to travel far or just to manage many projects at once. TechnologyAdvice.com is a company specialized in saving time for companies by helping them choose the right software platform for their infrastructure. Pricerunner and other price comparison sites focus on getting the best comparison on products, saving you hours of time to browse the web for reviews and information.
There are countless other companies that optimise for time. Google being the closest to mind spent the better part of their business getting the one thing you are looking before your eyes in a flash.
To save people time or make the time they spend valuable is an amazing opportunity to grow a really successful business.

Last night I made turkey fajitas for dinner, since it was a big hit when I threw it together last week. I added shredded pepper-jack almond cheese, avocado, and tapatio and it was awesome.
By the way, if you haven't tried almond cheese you should definitely look in to it! It's a great cheese alternative for those of us that are lactose intolerant and it is much healthier too :) I get mine at Sunflower Market, but you can probably find it at any health food store.
I also tried a new recipe from the DAMY blog. If you haven't checked out this website/blog yet, you definitely should! Amy has some great recipes! Last night I made her chocolate protein "cake" but I made it like I do the protein bars. They are lower in carbs than Jamie Eason's typical bars, so they will be great for phase three of the trainer which starts next week! Side note: I can't wait for phase 3 and HIIT to start... I need to get rid of this 'bulking' bulk I've acquired. (I'm super happy with the amount of muscle that I've gained though!)
Here's the recipe
1 cup pumpkin
1/2 cup egg whites
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup oat flour (can be subbed for almond flour for lower carb count)
2 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 c xylitol
Combine wet ingredients in mixing bowl, then combine dry, then whisk both together
Pour mixture in a prepared pyrex dish and bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean
They came out really good, very similar to Jamie's bars-- although something may be a little 'off' because the photo on the DAMY website looks like a completely different consistency than how mine turned out. Either way, they still taste yummy :)

FindYourStampsValue.com is glad to inform our readers about the latest stamp auction news. An 1863 Egyptian Post Office cover will lead the collector's series sale at Spink. It is expected to sell for US$27,000.
It displays six 1855 Sardinian 20c stamps, along with an 1855 40c and an 1858 80c. All display strong margins and excellent color.
The cover was sent to Italy from Alexandria in Egypt.
The cover was sent to an address in Italy and features various date stamps from European and Egyptian post offices. Spink explains the lot features "a unique franking, being the highest known on cover of this early issue used in Egypt, with its desirability being augmented by the fact of representing the earliest recorded date of use of the highest denomination, the 80c., as well as of the 10c.
"[It is] the most significant cover of the Italian post office; it must be considered as one of the most celebrated covers of Egyptian postal-history".
The lot is valued at $26,986 ahead of the December 16 sale. A set of Brazilian 1845 90r and 30r multiples, tied to an 1856 legal document, is valued at $33,068. It consists of a block of six 90r (the rare IIa variety), a block of four 90r (type II) and a pair of 30r stamps.
It's the largest known franking of the IIa 90r, which are believed to have been produced on a different plate to the type I and type II variations.

Rent a car at Aberdeen Airport with Europcar
Located just five miles from Aberdeen's bustling city centre and within easy reach of many top attractions, Aberdeen Airport is a popular and convenient travel hub for both domestic and international travellers. Consisting of a single passenger terminal, Scotland's second busiest airport offers a wide array of facilities including eateries, shops and an executive lounge.
As Europcar Aberdeen Airport is located at the terminal building and open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, you can pick up and return your vehicle at a time that suits you.
The Europcar car hire experience at Aberdeen Airport
With Europcar Aberdeen Airport, you can take your pick from a wide range of new hire cars and find something fit for purpose. While solo travellers might prefer a compact and eco-friendly Vauxhall Corsa, a top-of-the-range Skoda Octavia Estate may be more suited to families. Enjoy the finer things in life? Then how about gliding along in a Mercedes C Class?
At Europcar Aberdeen Airport we open around the clock for your convenience with our daily, weekly and monthly car rental options, covering both short and long-term car hire needs. So, whether you fancy a one-off excursion or are looking for a reliable ride for longer periods – we can help.
Discover Aberdeen and surroundings by car
When you hire a vehicle with Europcar, you're free to explore Aberdeen and the surrounding area at a time and pace that suits you – with the city centre being a must-see for anyone who appreciates cobbled streets, historic buildings and quaint eateries nestled by the water's edge.
While those who love shopping can take a trip to one of Aberdeen's five shopping centres including Union Square – a popular complex consisting of restaurants, well-known high street stores and a 10-screen cinema – lovers of art and culture can head to one of the many museums the city has to offer. The Aberdeen Maritime Museum is a sure family favourite as is the Aberdeen Science Centre home to exhibits and live shows.
Being such a diverse and exciting part of the world, visitors can also explore the 165 miles of Aberdeenshire coastline which offers a sandy escape to anyone in need of respite from city life. As well as Aberdeen Beach which is lined with cafes and restaurants, there are also many untouched beaches off the beaten track which provide the perfect spot for a walk, picnic or a splash in the sea.
And of course, what would a trip to Scotland be without visiting one of the many castles dotted throughout the glorious Aberdeenshire countryside? There are over 300 towering structures in total, but if you're looking for inspiration then Crathes Castle, Balmoral Castle and Braemar Castle are sure to take your breath away.
Aberdeen is also the ideal base to travel to many other famous UK cities with Inverness, Dundee and Glasgow all just a few hours away by car.
Driving in Aberdeen
In Scotland, drivers stay on the left and overtake on the right. Rush hour tends to be during the morning and evening commute which can fall anywhere between 7-9am and 5-7pm.
As in all major UK cities, on-street parking is limited; however, you'll find a selection of larger parking facilities dotted throughout Aberdeen at locations such as Union Square and NCP Aberdeen Shiprow.

First there was disbelief. Then came the anger.
Neither emotion had appeared much at Staples Center in recent years, but they each made up for lost time Wednesday, as boos followed Pau Gasol around the court and the Lakers dipped stunningly close to an early playoff flameout.
Lakers fans turned their backs on their team with two minutes to play, heading for the exits for possibly the last time at home in the Phil Jackson era.
Those who stayed until the bitter end looked up at the scoreboard, took in the Lakers' 93-81 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, and donated more boos.

Pretty Little Liars preview: "I'm your puppet"
The girls uncover more secrets as they search for Toby's body and try to get Spencer out of Radley.
In tonight's episode of Pretty Little Liars, a secret that's been tormenting Spencer (Troian Bellisario) is revealed: Toby's not dead!
Spencer refuses to help herself get out of Radley because she feels safe there and doesn't want anyone else to hurt her. However, her friends have had just about enough of seeing their friend in such a creepy institution. So, they come up with a plan to help get her out.
Pretty Little Liars recap: Spencer finally snapped >>
Aria (Lucy Hale), Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Emily (Shay Mitchell) are convinced that the body Spencer found in the woods isn't Toby's (despite those killer abs and the same tattoo). So they're on a mission to prove it to her and break her out of Radley.
Emily decides that their best move is to take a picture of the body, which has been labeled John Doe. So, Hanna and Emily disguise themselves as candy stripers and venture into the hospital's morgue in search of Toby's body.
Pretty Little Liars recap: Hit and run >>
In addition, an exclusive clip reveals that Spencer's mother knows a little something about what was going on with Ali right before she died. Veronica visits Spencer at Radley and tells her that secrets destroy people. In fact, she hasn't seen anyone in such a state since Ali, and she died a few weeks later. What could Veronica know?
Also, Caleb's dad, Jamie, is being accused of stealing a valuable item from the church! Oh man, like Caleb needs anything else to be ashamed of his family and himself about.
Pretty Little Liars recap: Toby's dead! >>
But of course, all this new information doesn't come without a price. Whenever one secret is revealed another is created (or someone is murdered or another horrible thing happens). We'll just have to watch and see how nasty it gets, tonight at 8/7c on ABC Family.

Pres. Clinton's expression steals her thunder in this picture snapped of the American Idol star got up to sing "My Country Tis of Thee" Monday.
Although the former president's photobomb wasn't intentional, the picture is now going viral.

I have done 30+ dives in several countries and have never had such a terrible experience. The staff and owner are rude, condescending and incredibly unprofessional.
My husband and I signed up for a one day, two tank dive at Isla Coiba. We paid in advance and stopped by the dive shop the day before the dive to try on equipment. All good so far. We arrived the morning of the dive and there are two dive masters (1 female, 1 male). As I'm getting my gear together (ALL gear was rented from Scuba Coiba), the female dive master comes up to me and says, laughing, "You're going to be freezing in that wetsuit". I'm thinking, "Ok well then why are you renting gear to your customers that is in adequate for the dives"?? No matter, I didn't let it bother me and simply asked for a large shortie wetsuit that I could wear over the top - but that comment by the dive master left both me and my husband bewildered.
Second, the dive masters inform us that there are some people on the trip who are planning on doing a 3 tank dive, so (I quote) my husband and I are "going to have to wait on the beach of the island for an hour or two while the third dive, and surface stop, is completed". This to me was really irritating. I commented to the dive master that it would have been nice to know in advance that we were joining another group doing a 3 tank dive, so that we could plan for the longer day or reschedule the dive to another day with only 2 tank divers. The male dive master responded to me, "Most people are more than happy to wait around on the beach, so if you're going to complain, then DON'T GO". Well, after that response and treatment, who in their right mind would go on that trip?? My husband and I took them up on their offer, and said Ok we won't go then, and I would like a refund (since we prepaid). The divemaster said Ok, and my husband confirmed with him that we would be refunded. However, the owner emailed us later in the day with a rather rude email, no apologies whatsoever for his employees behavior, and informed us that we would not be receiving a refund. We had no choice but to contest the charge on our credit card and we took our money elsewhere, to another dive shop in Santa Catalina where we had an absolutely wonderful time and were treated with respect and the vibe was fun, not negative.
Overall the diving at Coiba is amazing and I would highly recommend it; however I would not recommend the services at Scuba Coiba.

Allison Hedges
Allison Hedges earned her Master of Liberal Arts degree in Ancient Studies from the University of Pennsylvania, concentrating on classical Greek drama and ancient Egyptian history, language, and culture. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre from New York University, where she combined studio training from Circle in the Square Theatre School (through Tisch School of the Arts) with rigorous studies in dramatic literature and classic texts from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study. A professional actor, arts educator, and youth theatre director for many years, Allison turned her sights toward academia, combining her expertise in theatre with the study of the ancient world. In 2009, Allison spent six months in Egypt to serve the Supreme Council of Antiquities as a researcher and English language editorial assistant. She wrote her master's thesis on ancient Egyptian dramatic performance and the historical implications of an Egyptian theatrical tradition when compared with that of ancient Greece. She presented her research at the 11th International Congress of Egyptologists in August of 2015. Allison has lectured on behalf of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology for their community outreach program, and taught history as an adjunct faculty member in the liberal arts department at Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia. She is an active member of the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE), for whom she served as Vice President of the ARCE Chapter Council from 2014 until 2016. At the University of Maryland, Allison plans to focus on the history of theatre in the ancient world, delving further into some of the questions raised by her MLA thesis. In particular, she wants to take a closer look at the dramatic tradition in ancient Egypt during the pharaonic era, as well as Greek and Egyptian intercultural exchange in the performing arts during the Greco-Roman period.

U.S. Picks Up Slack in the Race for High Speed Internet
High speed Internet is one item that President Obama has ranked high on the United States' 2014 agenda. For the U.S.—a pioneer of the Internet movement—achieving high speeds at an affordable price continues to be a persistent obstacle.
For example, the New York Times reports Latvian capital Riga's Internet speed to be two and a half times faster than San Antonio's—the U.S.' seventh largest city comprised of 1.4 million people. This boils down to notably longer download times, such as a two-hour movie taking 35 minutes to download in San Antonio and only 13 minutes in Riga. In fact, the U.S. currently ranks 35th out of 148 countries in Internet bandwidth according to the World Economic Forum.
As one can imagine, there are plenty of questions that have gone unanswered here. The Obama administration has been working to answer as many as it can.
"To create jobs and grow wages at home, and to compete in the global information economy, the delivery of fast, affordable, and reliable broadband service to all corners of the United States must be a national imperative," the Obama administration cautioned in its June 2013 "Office of Science and Technology Policy and The National Economic Council" report.
The government's warning should come as no surprise, nor should its aggressive push for reliable high speed Internet, considering the above statistics. Where do you stand in the world race for high speed Internet?

Find out your condo rules
Moving into a condo isn't as easy as pulling up to the front door and loading your boxes onto an elevator. Be sure to check the moving policy before scheduling your moving day. For example, some condos don't allow move-ins on Sunday. According to Andrew, you may need to book a service elevator and a time frame for moving in. "On most occasions, your condo will ask for a security deposit in order to book a service elevator. That can range from $100 to $500 depending on your condo rules."
Pack in things you need to pack
You need to take your luggage with you. Why not use it as a box? The same goes for dresser drawers. You may need to remove them for transport, but if you don't have too far to go, they can be helpful for light items. "For delicate apparel that you don't want to fold, using a portable wardrobe box is the way to go," recommends Andrew.
Prepare a moving day kit
Keep one box aside of "essentials" that you'll need on moving day: cleaning supplies, light bulbs, toilet paper, garbage bags, a change of clothes, your toiletry bag, etc.
Be ready for your movers, whether hired or friends
Whether you have family or professional movers showing up at your door, be ready for them when they arrive. With a moving company, unless you hire packers, be ready and packed before the crew arrives. If you aren't ready, thats ok to with Integrity Movers packing services, we can help you pack whatever you don't have ready yet. We know how busy life can get, don't worry, be happy, we GOT YOU!
Protect your valuables
Find a safe place to store your valuables on moving day. Insure anything that's valuable or breakable if you're using a moving company. And if you're moving a computer, do a quick backup of important files just in case something happens in transit.
Delay deliveries
If you've made some new purchases, such as a couch or dining room suite, schedule the delivery after moving day. That will help you focus your attention on moving day itself and will avoid any congestion between delivery people and the movers.
