Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s Hold Recommendation Affirmed
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 11.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 39.6%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- REGN's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.29 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 5.35, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, REGN's share price has jumped by 49.69%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Setting our sights on the months ahead, however, we feel that the stock's sharp appreciation over the last year has driven it to a price level which is now relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. The implication is that its reduced upside potential is not good enough to warrant further investment at this time.
- REGENERON PHARMACEUTICALS's earnings per share declined by 27.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, REGENERON PHARMACEUTICALS turned its bottom line around by earning $6.61 versus -$2.44 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 42.4% in earnings ($3.81 versus $6.61).
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Biotechnology industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 26.2% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $191.47 million to $141.31 million.

Combination Cellulaze and Smart lipo Triplex
- docblinski
- Miami,Florida
- 2 years ago
Did my first major combination of Cellulaze and Smart Lipo Triplex today. The Grade of cellulite was Grade IIc, IIIa, IIIb on the outer, lower anterior and posterior thighs. Surface area large. The Smart lipo Triplex + lipo of melted fats was on the complete abdomen, hips, back, arms. Triplex setting was 20 watts 1064/1440 nm wavelength, blend 3, delivered 50,000 joules. Amount suctioned was 1,950 cc's. Surgery time 4 hours+, under general anesthesia and tumescence local (4 liters). The Cellulaze can not be done in same body areas as te liposuction. So in 3 months will suction the thighs. The early on the operating table results looked great. Will post photos of befores, during and afters. Regards dr. B, MIAMI

Is it better to get lipo first, and cellulaze later, or cellulaze first, followed by lipo later?

I keep hearing mention about how Smart Lipo & Cellulaze can't be done in the same area. From what I'm understanding from your note above one treatment could be performed, the area allowed to heal for three months, then the other treatment performed. Is that correct?

Model Number: 240805-
Built to provide optimum support for a runner's linear movement, the CW-X Pro Short minimizes impact to the hamstrings and reduces the overall effort of the pull phase in a runner's stride. Variable compression enhances circulation.
Important Shipping Note: U.S. sales only.
Comments: At the opposite end of the user experience, I've been very happy with mine. I rotate 3 prs, most of which I had for years and worn for many miles, including long runs > 20 miles, and they are still in great shape. And very helpful, IMO, when the quads and especially glutes are sore or otherwise need a little extra support. From: Bob, ND
Comments: Not pleased with these shorts at all. The inner seams on both legs/ thighs came apart after approx. 40 to 50 miles of trail running. I've had issues with my hamstrings so that is why I purchased these shorts. Very dssapointed with these shorts especially considering the price. I had to send them back to CW-X for a replacement pair. Still haven't received them after two months though. Save your money and go with Nike, Adidas or Asics tights. From: Vince, Nashville, TN, USA
Please include any relevant information such as weekly mileage, training or race pace, or foot type.

Relata a movimentada viagem de Alice pelo País das Maravilhas, onde encontra uma série de personagens inusitados e em situações insólitas, terminando em um julgamento.
Una aventura mágica :lo leí de niña y las transformaciones de Alica y sus amigos en ese mundo fantástico me atraparon para siempre . Luego trabajé con una versión teatral ,con niños de la Escuela de Educación por el Arte ,de Tucumán,y fue muy gratificante.
Alice is bored, hanging out by the river with her sister, when she notices a white rabbit with a pocket watch hurrying by. She follows it down a rabbit hole, falling down for a very long time, eventually faced with many locked doors. After eating, drinking, and changing sizes several times, she cries herself into a pool of tears, where she meets other animals. Everyone is wet and participates in a race to try to get dry. Alice scares the animals off when she talks about her cat. The rabbit returns and Alice grows again and then shrinks again after eating pebbles that had turned to cake. She encounters a hookah smoking caterpillar on a mushroom who tells her that one side of the mushroom will make her taller, the other shorter. She eats a piece and her neck stretches her head above the trees where a pigeon mistakes her for a serpent. She shrinks again and wanders to the house of the Duchess, where the cook is over-peppering the soup, making everybody sneeze. The Duchess tosses Alice her baby, which turns into a pig, and then meets the Cheshire cat, who directs her to the March Hare's house. But Alice wanders over to a tea party, with the Hatter, the March Hare, and a Dormouse, where they exchange nonsensical stories and riddles. Alice leaves the tea party and enters a rose garden where she meets living playing cards. She meets up with the King and Queen of Hearts, who utters, "Off with his head!" whenever she feels necessary. They all join in a game of croquet, with flamingo mallets and hedgehog balls. The Queen orders the beheading of the bodiless Cheshire Cat, but as the Duchess is it's owner, she is summoned from prison to make sense of how to behead the cat. When the Duchess arrives in the garden, she is dismissed and introduces Alice to the Gryphon, who takes her to the sad Mock Turtle, who tells stories, dances and sings songs. Later, the Gryphon and Alice attend a trial regarding the Queen's missing tarts and the suspected culprit, the Knave of Hearts. During the trial, Alice finds she is slowing growing larger again. The Hatter, the Duchess's cook, and Alice are all called as witnesses, but Alice is ordered to leave because she is told she is more than a mile high. Alice argues with the King and Queen of Hearts, eventually sentenced with being beheaded herself, but Alice calls it all nonsense on account of them just being a pack of cards. They swarm all over her, whereupon she wakes up as her sister is brushing leaves out of her hair, and she runs back home for tea.
I used to think the iconic Tenniel illustrations could not be bettered, but Jansson's are wonderful. The only edition of Carroll that contains a glyptodont (Doedicurus). Bonus fact: the first country mentioned in the text is New Zealand.
This is a book about a young girl, Alice who suddenly finds herself immersed in a crazy world after she follows a white rabbit down it's hole. Everything is backwards and upside down. She has to make her way through this magical place before she can get back home. I love this book for kids, because a lot of them will have seen the Disney movie and will be surprised just how different the book is. Each new part of Wonderland she visits presents her with new obstacles to pass. This would be a fun book to read a chapter or two and then let kids guess what they think will happen next
Ingpen's art brings something genuinely new to it, a cloudlike insubstantiality tinged with a little bit of thunderhead.
It's just a delicious, borderline hallucinatory, confection of a book. Invention and imagination tumble over each other in the excitement, and there is something in there to delight every reader. There are countless plays on words (the mouse giving a very dry lecture on William the Conqueror to restore those who have been soaked by Alice's gigantic tears is the one that, for some reason, pleased me most), verbal pyrotechnics and semantic shenanigans to please the "ordinary" reader. And although they entirely passed me by at the time, I know now from various more scientifically-minded friends that their childish interests snagged on the mathematician author's various numerical and logic puzzles.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 144042909X, Paperback)Source of legend and lyric, reference and conjecture, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is for most children pure pleasure in prose. While adults try to decipher Lewis Carroll's putative use of complex mathematical codes in the text, or debate his alleged use of opium, young readers simply dive with Alice through the rabbit hole, pursuing "The dream-child moving through a land / Of wonders wild and new." There they encounter the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, the Mock Turtle, and the Mad Hatter, among a multitude of other characters--extinct, fantastical, and commonplace creatures. Alice journeys through this Wonderland, trying to fathom the meaning of her strange experiences. But they turn out to be "curiouser and curiouser," seemingly without moral or sense.
For more than 130 years, children have reveled in the delightfully non-moralistic, non-educational virtues of this classic. In fact, at every turn, Alice's new companions scoff at her traditional education. The Mock Turtle, for example, remarks that he took the "regular course" in school: Reeling, Writhing, and branches of Arithmetic-Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. Carroll believed John Tenniel's illustrations were as important as his text. Naturally, Carroll's instincts were good; the masterful drawings are inextricably tied to the well-loved story. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter

Democrats Say …"Government Is The Only Thing We All Belong To" … Hmm, I Thought the Government Belonged to We the People?
A Tale of two Political Parties … So this is what "Hope & Change" looks like.
Put aside all of the political rhetoric, all of the attack ads, and all of the pleas using emotion rather than the present economic facts, if you ever wanted to know the difference between the Republican and Democrat party, one needs to look no further than the below VIDEO where Democrats put forth their true belief … "Government Is The Only Thing We All Belong To".
HUH? Looks the the fine folks at the Jawa Report are scratching their heads as well. Over at Michelle Malkin they say, hey tyrants, speak for yourself. Isn't it peculiar that every so often the Democrats get full of themselves, let down their veil and expose us to what their real mind set is. As Doug Ross opines, the Dems have let down their mask and We the People are just perplexed as to how a Party could have drifted so far to the LEFT.
In all of America's political history, you could probably not find a single opening statement at a convention more at odds with America's founding.
Make no mistake about it America, as the GOP believes and espouses and as Mitt Romney tweeted, WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT BELONG TO THE GOVERNMENT … THE GOVERNMENT BELONGS TO US!!!
The Democratic National Convention has signaled from the start an unapologetic, and at times, confrontational, liberalism, marked by details like the presence of reproductive rights activist Sandra Fluke.
A video that showed on the convention floor Tuesday night offered an unusually direct embrace of the role of government in American life: "Government," says the narrator, "is the only thing that we all belong to."
Sorry America, the Democrat Party has been hijacked by the radical, unhinged Left. This is not only not your father's or grandfathers Democrat party any more, its not the one I knew from the 80′s or 90′s either.
Democrats Drop God from Their Party Platform at the DNC in Charlotte, NC … And Drop Jerusalem is the Capital is Israel as Well
IN GOD WE TRUST … not at the Democrat National Convention or the Democrat Party Platform.
Hmm, what should we make of this? Democrats have dropped God from their party platform at the Democrat national Convention in Charlotte, NC. This is rather unbelievable. Do I believe that the many good people in America that are Democrats are "Godless", no. Do I believe that the lunatic fringe that has taken over the Democrat party that JFK would hardly recognize, yes. Hell, former President Bill Clinton, tonight's DNC Keynote speaker, is far too right to today's Democrat party. All of the Democrat pundits do not want to answer why they removed "GOD" from the platform. They claim its a distraction. Well gee Dems, who caused the distraction? Are you going to blame that on others as well?
Guess what? God's name has been removed from the Democratic National Committee platform.
This is the paragraph that was in the 2008 platform:
"We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential."
Now the words "God-given" have been removed. The paragraph has been restructured to say this:
"We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth – the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us."
From ABC News comes the following, For Democrats, there is no God in 201. Just for clarity to Democrat law makers, delegates and voters, this is not Fox News making this news headline. But as Weasel Zippers states, who needs God, when the Democrats have the Chicago Jesus, the Obamaessiah.
We are reminded by the Right Scoop that the Democratic Party Platform also refuses to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel this year even though they did just 4 years ago.
In the end it is obvious that the moonbats have taken over the Democrat party. Why would anyone want to insult religious people of Christian faith or Jews? Sorry, just answered my own question.

Democrats Getting Ready To Move Obama's DNC Speech From 74,000 Seat Outdoor Bank of America Stadium To 20,000 Seat Indoor Arena … Is His Popularity Waning?
Once again Barack Obama has a 'Spinal Tap' moment … is Obama's popularity waning? Nah, it's just becoming more select.
Democrats are getting ready to move Barack Obama's DNC speech from a 74,000 seat outdoor Bank of America Stadium to a 20,000 seat indoor arena. It would appear that maybe Obama and Democrats do not have enough buses for astro-turfed individuals bussed in and receiving free tickets to fill Bank of America Stadium. Democrats hardly want the optics of a half empty stadium when Obama speaks on Thursday night. It would seem that Dems are blaming the weather for the change. Hmm, and I thought that Obama could part the seas, and control the tides, weather and climate? Really Dems, now you are blaming the weather for the switch-a-roo? According to weather reports there is a 30% chance of rain. But wy not, you have blamed everything else except yourself during your Presidency.
Democrats are poised to avoid the danger of President Barack Obama accepting his party's nomination before a partially-empty stadium by shifting his speech to an indoor arena and citing 'severe weather'.
The Obama campaign have been working desperately to ensure that the 74,000-seater Bank of America stadium in Charlotte would be filled.
Buses for students from across North Carolina and even members of black churches in neighboring South Carolina have been arranged
Footage of rows of empty seats at the stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers, as Obama speaks on Thursday night would be politically disastrous – an enduring image of the contrast between his campaign of 'hope' and 'change' in 2008 and his dour, negative struggle for re-election in 2012.
So the question remains:
Marty DeBergi (rockumentary director):Reporter at the DNC – The last time TapObama toured America, they where, uh, booked into
10,000 seat arenas, and 15,000 seat venues, and it seems that now, on their current tour they're being booked into 1,200 seat
arenas, 1,500 seat arenas, and uh I was just wondering, does this mean uh…the popularity of the group is waning?
Ian Faith (Spinal Tap maganer):Obama minion & mouth piece: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no…no, no, not at all. I, I, I just think that the..uh.. their appeal is becoming more selective.
Best line of a post comes from the Vodka Pundit, President Empty Chair is trying to solve the problem of empty seats when he delivers his big speech. Brilliant! If Democrats can spring for the buses and tickets, why not umbrellas and ponchos for all?
All of this is going to translate into a suppressed and uninspired turn out for Obama in November. Not only is he not going to replicate what he did in 2008, it is going to truly pale in comparison.

The Chairman of the California Democratic Party John Burton Compares GOPs To Nazi Propaganda Chief Joseph Goebbels (VIDEO)
I guess this is what President Barack Obama was talking about when he referenced civility in politics … Welcome to Obama "Hope and Change" in 2012.
John Burton, the Chairman of the California Democratic Party provided more smear politics yesterday when he compared the GOP to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels. Democrat John Burton took the high road, for Moonbat Democrats, and smeared GOP Vice-Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan for "lying" about the Janesville GM Plant, even though Paul Ryan was not lying.
The Chairman of the California Democratic Party already had political pundits, delegates and rivals buzzing a day before the Democratic National Convention formally opened in Charlotte, North Carolina, after telling KCBS Radio exclusively that Republican tactics had been akin to Nazi propaganda.
"They lie and they don't care if people think they lie," Chairman of the California Democratic Party John Burton told KCBS Monday in Charlotte. "As long as you lie, Joseph Goebbels, the big lie, you keep repeating it, you know."
Really? The DNC Convention has just begun and we have Democrats acting with such vile behavior. But should it really come as a surprise to the Republican party? As alliterated at Powerline, put a bunch for freaks together in one place and you get a freak show. Mitt Romney has been called in political ads, by Democrat pundits and surrogates of Obama a felon, a tax cheat, and a murderer. One would naturally think that being compared to a Nazi was right up their ally.
UPDATE I: The GOP demands an apology for outrageous Nazi comment. California Democrat Chair Burton makes an non-apology apology regarding the Nazi propaganda comment.
UPDATE: In response to the uproar over his (below) comments Monday, California Democratic Party Chair John Burton issued this statement:
"To correct press reports of my recent comments about Republican lies, I did not call Republicans Nazis nor would I ever. In fact, I didn't even use the word.
"If Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, or the Republicans are insulted by my describing their campaign tactic as the big lie – I most humbly apologize to them or anyone who might have been offended by that comment."
Really, this is the demeanor of the lunatic LEFT and their idea of an apology? I guess it all depends of what Hitler, is? You would compare some one to a Nazi propagandist by name, but claim that you did not call them a Nazi. It is really sad what the Democrat party has become. The Moonbats have become the main stream in the party.
The Gateway Pundit states, "Their policies suck. The economy is in shambles. They bet the farm on the Stimulus and it failed. They've hit rock bottom." That pretty much sums it up in a "NUT" shell.

DNC Gets Ready to Astroturf Obama's Speech, Bussing in Students and Blacks to Fill Bank of America Stadium
And I thought the NFL Carolina Panthers played on natural grass … Hope and Change has become "Smoke & Mirrors".
Get ready Charlotte, NC … the DNC Convention is about to astroturf you. The DNC is going to bus in college students and blacks in order to fill up the 74,000 seat Bank of America Stadium and not embarrass President Barack Obama and the Democrats with empty seats. In 2012 Obama is speaking at campaign stops to much smaller crowds. The enthusiasm is not there and neither are the motivated Democrats. However, like any good "smoke and mirrors" Democrat facade, The DNC and Team Obama will give away tickets for free, hell they may pay people to attend the speech.
College students from across North Carolina will arrive in Charlotte by the busload. Same with members of predominantly black churches in neighboring South Carolina.
Their goal: help fill a 74,000-seat outdoor stadium to capacity when President Obama accepts the Democratic nomination Thursday night.
Anything short of a full house on the final night of the Democratic Party's national convention will be instant fodder for Republicans eager to use empty seats as symbols of waning voter enthusiasm for Obama.
Democrats have been fretting for months over whether the president can draw a capacity crowd at Bank of America Stadium. Polls show voter enthusiasm is down, as are Obama's crowds for his battleground state campaign rallies.
How pathetic that Obama and his minions feel the need to perpetrate a fraud that The Obamamessiah is more popular than he really is. The might want to be very careful about giving tickets away, as Nice Deb opines, one never knows who might be getting free ticks.
The fraud may work for the DNC convention but eventually one must pay the piper. The gig will be up on election day. Obama and Democrats are only delaying the inevitable, Barack, you're not all that anymore.

Sand Sculpture of President Obama Washed Away in Charlotte, N.C. … Metaphor? Hmm, Looks More Like Jabba the Hut
Metaphor Alert: Democrats might as well get used to it … Obama sand sculpture washed away.
Talk about creepy. Who actually thought this was a good idea? It's bad enough this sand Obama makes the presumption of a Mount Rushmore type sculpture, but damn, this creepy thing looks more like Jabba the Hut. Barack Obama is going to have more to worry about than getting washed away by bad weather in NC, losing North Carolina in the 2012 Presidential election for starters.
A torrential downpour that struck Charlotte Saturday afternoon damaged the Mount Rushmore-style sand sculpture bust of President Obama — an ominous beginning to what many fear is a plagued convention.
Workers were trying Saturday afternoon to reform the base of the sculpture, built from sand brought in from Myrtle Beach, S.C., pounding and smoothing out the sand that had washed off the facade of the waist-up rendering of the chief executive.
From the Lonely Conservative, the Obama sand sculpture might be better put to use as a kitty litter box. HAHAHA. More biting sarcasm from Ricochet. Priceless.
Unfortunately, as every child who's spent a day at the beach well knows, sand castles–or cult-of-personality-worthy sand statues–aren't known for their water resistance. And it rains during the summertime in North Carolina. Sometimes a lot.

Hillary Clinton Staying as Far Away from Charlotte, Obama & the DNC Convention as Physically Possible … Can You Blame Her?
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is sitting out the Democrat National Convention in Charlotte, NC next week. Instead, she will be half way around the world. Can any one blame her? Probably the most popular Democrat is staying as far away from Obama and the DNC convention probably for two reasons. One, to keep the stink from the convention from getting on her if she wants to run for office in 2016 and two, she would over shadow Obama causing many to think … Why not Hillary? As it is, former President Bill Clinton is supposed to provide the keynote speech. Rather bizarre, seeing that an up and comer and political superstar usually fills the role. However, when the Democrats are void of any and all you have is reminding Americans of days gone by rather than present day Obamaland, what else would one expect?
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as a sitting administration official, does not have any role at the Democratic National Convention next week in Charlotte. But she seems to gone out of her way to avoid the festivities, as she is traveling this week and next to the Cook Islands, Indonesia, China, Timor-Leste, Brunei, and Russia.
"The Cook Islands this year are the hosts of one of the most important institutions of the Pacific called the Pacific Island Forum," a senior State Department official said Thursday. "It's a group that meets yearly with a number of working groups. It's been in existence almost half a century; it's very significant."
No one with any political aspirations or and Democrat who wanted to win their political race in 2012 would want to come near this convention.

Mitt Romney pulled even with President Barack Obama in a Reuters/Ipsos poll at 43%
Don't look now, but the polls are shifting. According to a Reuters new poll, Mitt Romney, the GOP nominee, and President Barack Obama are now tied at 43% a piece. These are worrisome numbers for an incumbent polling so far under 50%. Romney has the opportunity to wow the crowd and after Paul Ryan's and Condi's speech last night the Romney numbers will only increase. In next week's Democrat National Convention Obama is going to have to explain the poor economy and another week of poor first time unemployment filing up 370,000. The prior week's figure was revised up to show 2,000 more applications than previously reported.
Republican Mitt Romney pulled even with President Barack Obama in a Reuters/Ipsos poll on Wednesday, getting a boost from his party's nominating convention in Tampa this week.
In a four-day rolling poll, Romney and Obama were deadlocked among likely voters at 43 percent each. That was an improvement for Romney from Obama's two-point lead on Tuesday and four-point lead on Monday.
"There is movement toward Romney, which is traditional for a convention," Ipsos pollster Julia Clark said. "It's small and the change is incremental, but it's been moving the last couple of days."
As reported at The American Thinker, Mitt Romney's speech tonight is expected to draw 40 million viewers. If he does reasonably well, he might end up getting a nice 6-8 point bounce in the polls and put pressure on the Democrats to match or do better. That is hard to believe seeing that it is going to be a negative anti-Romney Convention, far from the Hope & Change" of 2008. Also, the August 2012 unemployment numbers are due out the Friday following the DNC Convention.

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz Defends Priorities USA Super PAC Ad Accusing Romney of Killing a Woman & Has No Idea What Political Affiliation an Obama Endorsed Super PAC is … Really Debbie?
Sorry, but Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a nasty rotten individual and a poor excuse for a human being … have you no shame! You certainly have no credibility.
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz appeared on Fox News Sunday and actually defended the recent Priorities USA Obama Super PAC ad that Mitt Romney was a murderer. Really Debbie, this is even a new low for you and from the things that you have said and done in the past there really was not too much room to go lower. Debbie Wasserman Schultz actually had the audacity to say that the vile ad raised fair questions. What might be even more comical than Debbie Wasserman Schultz not condemning the ad was her refusal to say that Priorities USA, Obama Super PAC was not a Democrat Super PAC. She claimed she did not know the political affiliation of Priorities USA. Really, a Super PAC run by "Bill Burton, who used to work in the White House, worked in Obama campaign in 2008?" Good grief, are you capable of ever telling the truth or do you just speak in talking points?
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Democrats have no more credibility, they are incapable of telling a simple truth
"What I think of the ad is that there's no question that the ad raises facts, such as that Mitt Romney, when he was CEO of Bain Capital, bankrupted companies, laid off workers, cut their benefits and made millions of dollars in profits," Wasserman Schultz said on "Fox News Sunday."
"And that ad points out that there are consequences to making decisions like that, that impacted people's lives in a significant way."
Democrats have come under fire for the Priorities USA ad, in which Joe Soptic, who lost his job because of Bain Capital, appears to imply that the loss of his health insurance played a role in his wife's death.
However, the bottom feeder DNC Chair and US rep from Florida actually defended the ad because it illuminated Romney's time at Bain Capital. However, since this smear ad came out it has been proved that the facts in the ad are false and there was a 6 year time period between the time the woman's husband was laid off and lost his insurance as to when she died. Also, the woman was employed after her husband was laid off and had her own insurance. This ad more than crossed the line of ethics and civility; however, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and President Obama have yet to condemn it.
Later, as Debbie Wasserman Schultz was probably forced to telling the truth because her nose grew too much. Any novice fact checker could figure out that Priorities USA was a Democrat Super PAC.
Wasserman Schultz also pointed out that, by law, political parties and super-PACs are not supposed to coordinate activities – even at one point saying she didn't know whether those running Priorities USA, led by two former Obama staffers, were Democrats.
The Florida Democrat later backtracked on that remark on Twitter: "Clearly Priorities USA is a Democratic SuperPAC. Was trying to state the obvious: we have no control over their activities."
EXIT QUESTION: How can anyone think any Democrats are telling the American people the truth when the DNC Chair is incapable of doing so?
UPDATE I: Full transcript of John McCain and Debbie "Downer" Wasserman Schultz can be read HERE.
Jimmy Carter to Speak Via VIDEO at Democrat National Convention, Oh Boy, Didn't He Lose a Landslide Reelection during Bad Economy?
Jimmy Carter to remind Democrats that Obama is just an extension of his first failed term in office …
Wow, this will certain fire up the Democrat troops, former President Jimmy Carter will speak via video at the Democrat National Convention. Because Carter has been just so relevant. But then again why not have Carter speak at the event, isn't Barack Obama really just Carter's second failed term as President? This should be truly inspiring as Carter reminds us of the days of the misery he inflicted upon the American people and the subsequent landslide loss he had to Ronald Reagan when Carter ran for reelection. Independents watching the Democrat National Convention might be deciding among themselves who had the worst economic vision, Carter or Obama? Jimmy carter had the misery index, Obama has just provided misery for millions of out of work Americans.
Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama, Perfect Together
Former president Jimmy Carter won't be attending the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, but he'll address the gathering by videotape.
"Rosalynn and I regret that we will be unable to be at the Democratic Convention this year in Charlotte. However, we remain steadfast in our support for President Obama and the progress he will make in the next four years," Carter said in a statement released by the Democratic convention.
Exit Question: Does Obama really want a president who is considered the biggest failure so that people watching can make comparisons between the two and the dude who lost in a landslide for reelection during a bad economy?

Why a BSN?
There is a national movement to encourage registered nurses to further their education and obtain Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees. Studies show that nurses prepared at the baccalaureate level have stronger critical thinking skills and are more effective communicators. Additionally, employers often prefer to hire nurses with a baccalaureate degree. A Bachelor of Science Degree in nursing from the University of Jamestown brings with it with a strong foundation in the liberal arts.
The diverse body of knowledge that you will gain from a liberal arts education will help you to develop the ability to think critically and to see relationships between ideas, philosophies, and subject areas – all of which will enhance your ability as a creative and caring professional nurse.

Positive, Not Punitive, Classroom-Management Tips
This article is adapted from Larry's new book, Self-Driven Learning: Teaching Strategies for Student Motivation.
Let's start with a question I've been asked on more than one occasion.
"I know my content and like my students, but sometimes it's hard to get them under control so I can teach my lesson. What tips for classroom management can you give me?"
My general answer is that you can never have too many positive, not punitive, classroom management strategies in your toolbox.
Obviously, there are serious student transgressions, including violence, where some kind of punishment is an appropriate response. However, in many other instances, punishment may work only temporarily, may not work at all, or may only make the problem worse. Research suggests that punishment often primarily teaches the student that he or she just has to be more careful next time to avoid getting caught.
Public Versus Private Relationship
Community organizers try to help people understand the difference between public and private relationships (I was an organizer for 19 years prior to becoming a teacher). Often, those in power will try to blur that division when it suits their purposes (for example, politicians kissing babies).
Here is another example: I have spent time over the years working with many organizations, including religious congregations, organizing for community improvements. The political decision makers with whom we would have to negotiate for those neighborhood changes were sometimes members of those congregations, and they would often try to privately influence pastors or congregation leaders to take a different public position. The religious leaders, in turn, would point out that when it came time to participating in public life, it was a public relationship and public dialogue -- and when it came time to a personal issue, it was a private relationship and a private dialogue. In public life, the relationship was conditional, based on negotiation and reciprocity. In private life, the relationship was often based on love and friendship. This distinction was particularly important to demonstrate in public settings.
And we carried this distinction over to how members needed to act in the context of the organization -- at our meetings, with the media, and whenever they were in the public eye.
I apply this concept in the classroom by helping students understand the difference between public behavior and private behavior. When students are in the classroom, it is a public space with certain expectations. One small example is a student shouting out "I'm bored" or some other inappropriate comment.
One possible response to that kind of remark is a sharp admonishment from the teacher. Instead, though, what I generally do, either right then or at the next available opportunity, is to go over the student, put my arm around his or her shoulders, and have this kind of quick dialogue, with a smile:
Me: "Johnny, is it okay for you to think what you said?"
Johnny: "Yes."
Me: "Johnny, is it okay for you to tell your friends after class what you just said?"
Johnny: "Yes."
Me: "Johnny, is it okay for you to say what you just said out loud in the classroom?"
Johnny: "No."
And with both of us smiling, it's over.
I sometimes will have done it enough times with a student that when I go over, he or she will recite all of the lines. Notice that the dialogue leads with what students can do, instead of what they can't.
These kinds of inappropriate comments seem to decrease as the school year goes on, because at least some students gain a greater understanding of the differences between public and private, an understanding that should serve them well for years to come.
"What Would Be the Long-Term Effect of Doing That?"
Educator and positive classroom management consultant Marvin Marshall recommends a simple strategy of asking a disruptive student a simple question, either in the moment or afterward: "What would be the long-term effect of doing that?" As he suggests, asking can be far more effective than telling.
Alternatives to Collective Punishment
I suspect many teachers have had an experience like this:
A paper airplane, ball of paper, or pencil flies through the air, or somebody makes an obnoxious noise. The object is probably aimed at another student, and it may or may not hit the intended target. The noise is just meant to be funny.
You can tell the general area it came from, but you don't really know who the culprit is. It's frustrating because that kind of behavior does not contribute to a learning community.
What do you do?
It's not uncommon for teachers to first yell something like, "Who threw it?" No one admits to it, and then the teacher will punish the entire group.
Here's a definition of collective punishment:
Collective punishment is the punishment of a group of people as a result of the behavior of one or more other individuals or groups. The punished group may often have no direct association with the other individuals or groups, or direct control over their actions.
I'm not convinced that this behavior is one we want to model for our students.
If collective punishment is out, then what are the alternatives?
This kind of misbehavior does not happen that often in my classes, thankfully, but it certainly does occur. What I usually do is go over to the area where I suspect the noise or projectile originated and quietly explain that I don't feel respected when this kind of thing happens. And, since I feel like I show that I respect students at all times, I would hope they would want me to feel respected. I then explain that I don't know who actually did it, but that I would like each of them to commit that they will not throw something (or make a noise, etc.), and we shake on it. I tell them that I'm sure they are people of their word, and the matter is closed.
Nine times out of ten, that is the end of things, and there is no repetition.
However, if it does happen again, I go to the next step. For example, somebody in my class was occasionally making an obnoxious noise. I knew it was one of two students. I did the first step with them, and that went fine. Then, two days later, one of them made the noise again.
I asked them both to come outside with me, and I explained that I was disappointed that one of them was not keeping their word. I knew that one was trustworthy, but I didn't know which one. So I said that I couldn't trust the word of either of them and didn't like feeling that way. I suggested that the person who was making the noise might want to think about how his or her actions were now affecting the other student. Then, I gave them a few minutes to talk about it privately (I left the door open and asked them to stay in front of it so I could observe their actions, but not overhear what they said).
We didn't hear that obnoxious noise again.
So in other words, the second step, when necessary, is to ask students to consider the impact their actions have on others, and ask them to try to work out problems among themselves. In my teaching career, this has almost always resulted in stopping the inappropriate behavior and, I hope, students gaining some added maturity.
Of course, one of the most common situations where the specter of collective punishment is raised is after a difficult time with a substitute teacher. One preventative strategy is the use of something like the Attitude and Behavior With A Substitute Teacher grading rubric. Early in the year, the teacher shows the simple rubric to students and explains that a substitute will use it with them. Five minutes prior to the end of class with the sub, he or she will distribute the rubrics, and students will write down their names and grade themselves. The sub will then go around, give what grade he or she believes the student has earned, and collect the sheets (this process means the sub does not have to worry about remembering individual names and can base the evaluation on student faces).
This can be a very effective strategy to reduce teacher temptation to inflict collective punishment on a class, enhance the likelihood of a class with a sub being somewhat productive, and dramatically reduce stress for the sub.
After a class has shown that it understands and respects the expected behavior, a teacher can experiment with not using the grading rubric and explaining to students that he or she trusts that they will act appropriately.
In Part Two of this excerpt, I'll offer additional positive classroom management strategies. In the meantime, please share your own in the comments section below.

As a second year teacher, I find using positive classroom management strategies makes for a happier and more comfortable classroom. I want my students to feel respected and valued, so I strive to treat them all in positive ways, even when there is a behavior issue. At times I'll find myself less patient than other times, so I try to step back and take a break.
I have been teaching the same grade for over 7 years now. I like to think of myself of having great classroom management. I know there are full moons =), but I like to use humor in my classroom. I always remind them that I am here to have fun and teach, and I expect them to have fun and learn. Kenscore, I can totally relate to you and lose patients at times, but I always take a step back and tell myself that I don't know what they are dealing with at home. Since I have become a parent myself, I find that I try to put my son in that students position and what would I want his teacher to say to him. I think that when you put yourself into your teaching, you will always come out ahead. When you share your life, your students will respect and you will build great rapport with each and every one of them!
Thank you for sharing these tips. I have, over the years, done a lot of talking with my students about thoughts versus words. It is ok to have just about any thought in your head. It is not ok to say whatever is on your mind at any time.
Is it ok to think that you don't like the assignment? Yes! I don't like everything I have to do either.
Is it ok to shout out in class that you don't like the assignment? No. But, if this is an ongoing problem you can talk privately with me.
I teach my students to say, "May I talk with you please?" in private if they have a concern they want to share. This phrasing lets me know that I really need to listen, and that the student is going to disagree with me. We roll play how to do this in a respectful manner.
Thanks for this great post!
Thanks for the ideas. I completely agree that a positive approach to classroom management works wonders. I have coached several teachers in my district regarding this concept.
I also think our instruction itself (the pacing of the lesson, for example) factors greatly into how many (or how few) classroom management issues we encounter.
First, the rubrics with the substitue has to be one of the best ideas for managment while you are away. As a student teacher, I have seen many instances where the students can be unruly while their regular teacher is away. I think that this really an interesting and accurate way to find out how classroom behavior was in you absence and it is also a great way to hold students accountable for their actions. One o f the concerns with substitutes is usually that students view their presence as an opportunity to do whatever they wish with no accountability.
Also, I think you made a great point in saying that the classroom managemnet should be positive. Throughout my coursework in my behavioral management classes, I have learned that explicit instructions is most effective. As opposed to telling students what they cannot do, providing them with options for what they can do is a much more proactive approach to problem behavior.
Great post and excellent tips.

ALL THREE EFA's IN ONE CONVENIENT FORM
Vinco's Omega3-6-9 is a potent mix of Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's)' designed to supply all the essential fatty acids from the highest-grade natural sources available. The Omega-3 fatty acids have been Molecullarly Distilled for purity' contain NO Heavy Metals' and are from sardines and anchovies' which is the cleanest source. Omega's 3'6' and 9have been shown to play a beneficial role in immune system' cardiovascular health' and pain management.
Omega-3 fatty acids are a form of polyunsaturated fats' or "good" fats' and are one of four basic types of fat that the body derives from food. All polyunsaturated fats' including the Omega-3's' are increasingly recognized as important to human health. Key Omega-3 fatty acids include Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexanoic Acid (DHA)' both found primarily in oily cold-water fish such as Tuna' Salmon' Mackerel' Sardines' and Anchovies. The third Omega-3' called Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA) is found primarily in dark green leafy vegetables' flaxseed oils' and certain vegetable oils. Omega-3 fatty acids are important building blocks of our cell membranes' signaling pathways and neurological systems. They play a critical role in many functions in the body and have been shown to improve heart health' reduce hypertension' improve Rheumatoid Arthritis' improve depression and other mental health symptoms' aid in cancer prevention and support' as well as skin disease like eczema' and psoriasis.
Omega-6 fatty acids are also a form of polyunsaturated "good" fats' that come from plant fats. Linoleic Acid (LA) and Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) are acids included in Omega-6' that are ultimately converted in the body to prostagladins' which are hormonelike molecules that help to regulate inflammation and blood pressure as well as heart' gastrointestinal' and kidney functions. Omega-6 fatty acids with a high GLA content may also help to reduce aches and pains of Rheumatoid Arthritis' relieve discomfort of PMS' Endometriosis' and fibrocystic breasts' reduce symptoms of eczema and psoriasis' help clear up acne and rosacea' and has been shown to help prevent and improve diabetic neuropathy.
Omega-9 or Oleic acid' can be manufactured by the human body' but in limited quantities' unlike Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Oleic acid is the most abundant fatty acid that is found in nature' is the primary oil produced by skin glands' and is the primary monounsaturated fatty acid found in olive oil. Omega-9 (Oleic acid) has been shown to reduce atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)' reduces insulin resistance' which leads to improved glucose (blood sugar) maintenance' and improves immune system function.
