Can the Apple iWatch Revolutionize the Wearable Device Trend?
Greg is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Apparent leaked reports of research teams at Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) working in secret to develop a new "smart" wristwatch have been circulating for months. While the idea of a discrete, multi-functional wearable device has been around for decades, and a few companies have recently announced successful projects, the trend never really took off.
Considering that Apple is probably the leader in digital innovations, it's not hard to believe the rumors that they're aggressively working on an "iWatch" product. I can't think of another company more likely to release such a device. If the rumors are true, it would appear that Apple is near the final stage of development and could release the iWatch sometime this year.
Together with Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) and Corning (NYSE: GLW), the major physical parts may have already been successfully created. Collaborating with Intel to develop a lightning fast chipset and Corning to develop a paper-thin version of their famous Gorilla Glass, the only remaining significant component for the iWatch would be the software, a challenge which Apple could undoubtedly handle with their usual panache.
However, I can't help but wonder if, despite the completeness with which Apple would undoubtedly deliver such a timepiece, can they bring it into the mainstream and sell enough units to make the project profitable? Will an Apple-powered Bluetooth-enabled smartwatch become the starting point to a shift toward wearable communications devices? Will the iWatch be an innovative new device capable of transforming the way we utilize existing technology? Or, will it be another impressive attempt that just didn't take off?
Looking at the recent success of the Pebble watch, a wearable device that connects via Bluetooth to your iPhone or Android and pushes calls, text messages and email to the wrist-sized display, it's obvious there is a demand for this type of technology. The Pebble Kickstarter project has received over $10.2 million in funding pledges to date and has been called the most successful Kickstarter project ever.
Conversely, a brief examination of the Sony SmartWatch, released around this time last year, shows what could be a similar product to the rumored iWatch, but one that failed miserably. Regardless of the lack of interest in the SmartWatch, it's still listed as an available accessory on the Verizon Wireless website.
Perhaps the main reason products like this might not have much success is the fact that they are only accessories designed to extend the functionality of an Android or iPhone. They are not standalone communications devices, but instead rely on a constant Bluetooth connection to a nearby smartphone. With the cost of cellphones already in the hundreds, it's not surprising that people haven't jumped to spend even more money on a wearable accessory that provides no extra functionality and is instead just an expensive conversation starter.
If Apple is really planning on releasing the iWatch later this year, and if the company hopes to get the wristwatch-communicator trend off the ground, they'd better come up with something truly amazing, something new that will revolutionize the industry. Without a doubt, Apple has the people, resources, money and marketing reach to do just that.

Dear Students,
This year, in Film and Video Studies (FAVS), we celebrate the power of film. Whether this be the impact of stories as they hit the screen, or the energy generated through collaboration with artists on set, film is a powerful medium. Our Bachelor of Arts degree includes concentrations in Production (for documentary and fiction), Business, and Screenwriting. Our Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies trains you for immediate work in the field as a maker, technician and/or teacher. At Mason, we teach you the technical skills needed to tell critical stories, and allow you to understand the business of a rapidly changing film industry. Welcome!More
George Mason University is well-positioned to embrace the study of film and video within a degree program by virtue of an unusual synergy of faculty interests, space availability, and equipment. The FAVS program offers instruction in documentary production, business, and theory. The FAVS BA is housed in the College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) and draws on faculty and course offerings from seven departments (Art and Visual Technology, Communication, English, History and Art History, Modern and Foreign Languages, New Century College, and Theater) located in the CVPA and the College of Humanities and Social Studies.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Spokane City leaders approved zoning regulations for new marijuana laws on Monday night. The regulations state where marijuana can be sold in the city. It also said that the drug will not be allowed in popular places such as the Garland District.
The rules apply to the entire city, but some people would like to see shops in all corners of Spokane.
"You have to have reasonable access," said Paul Lugo, Herbal Connections Director. "Otherwise, people will use the black market."
Herbal Connections is a medical marijuana dispensary in the Garland District. Lugo's shop will be the only shop allowed in that zone according to the new rules. The shop was grandfathered in under old regulations.
"Because of the number of taverns we have, and the liquor stores, we were worried about one more adult-type store," said Julie Shephard-Hill, owner of Zipperz. "We have a lot of kids that walk on our streets.
Many people shared concerns at a city council meeting on Monday night about keeping marijuana retailers away from Spokane's other businesses. Any new shop wanting to sell marijuana will have to do it in the more dense commercial areas, not near local neighborhoods.
Lugo said the city is working hard to be fair, but it will have to be careful not to keep pot sales in the shadows.
State law will allow for eight retail marijuana shops within the Spokane City limits. Several of the current dispensaries said that they will consider selling recreational marijuana after all of these new rules and regulations get hammered out.
Herbal Connections specifically told KREM 2 News that if they decide to pursue that route, it will not be in the Garland District.

"In this neck of the woods, we've found new clients often book their first appointments with our nail team," says Labos. "Before their appointments are over they've grilled our nail techs on other services and who to see."
At Akari, pedicures go beyond pampering. Under the direction of podiatric surgeon Dr. Christopher Toth, the manicurists on staff, led by Carole Fortin, senior nail technician, have gone through an advanced training program educating them on how to address multiple issues including psoriasis, plantar warts, ingrown nails, cysts, calluses and arthritis.
"Our nail techs collaborate with our doctor. They train together, discuss cases, refer and educate customers. Their work has not only expanded our brand, but elevated the entire department," says Labos. Akari also offers laser treatment of nail fungus and Botox injections to reduce foot sweat and odor.
Finger Pointing
For those owners still nay-saying nails, the most often cited reason is staffing. At Michelle Bouse's Beauty Boutique in Burbank, California, owner Bouse had envisioned having a manicurist on staff providing services during hair treatments or lash services. "But they don't want to stay in the salon unless they are booked," says Bouse. "For me as an owner, by sitting at the salon and talking to people, I know that they could be developing relationships with clients, letting people know what they offer, but this hasn't been the case."
Channer of Blueberry Moon says, "It's been our goal to have two nail technicians but it's extremely difficult to find competent nail technicians. We have one who is booked solid, with another who will be going through our training. Our services are all spa services and a client is going to spend an hour with their manicurist. I'm not comfortable until she is perfect."

If we didn't educate students in "batches", how would their social development differ?
If we stopped educating students in "batches" (a reference from Sir Ken Robinson's "Changing Education Paradigms" TED talk), how would their sociological development change? Rather than classifying them by "date of manufacture" what if we organized them according to learning styles and abilities depending on the subject, how would that affect them socially in comparison to students currently? Would students be embarrassed to be in a class with younger and/or older peers? Would the differences in level of maturity and range of social skills make learning in this kind of model more difficult? Would this system help students to be more open with their peers, no matter their age? Would it also help reduce agism in the education system and possibly the world? Ultimately, would it be a worth while investment to experiment with this model on a larger scale?
Additional questions, answers, opinions or any other sort of comments are welcome! I'm a Canadian high school student who is curious about education and I would appreciate anything you have to offer on the topic.
Cheers, Jake Frackson

Aug 27 2012: Hi, Jake. There is a lot of experience now with mixed grade classrooms in some countries, including the United States. It can be a little hard on someone who is the lone 8th grader in a 6th grade class, but if there are a few older kids rather than just one, it often won't matter. My son was in a Latin class with many kids a year or two younger than he was. It was no problem. He will be in a different class this Fall with kids two and three years older. I expect there will be no problem there either.
When I taught secondary school, I don't remember ever teaching a class that was not mixed grade. We had no problem. A smile comes to my face when I recall the hen-like pleasure my eighth graders had when the sixth graders left early to go to "their first dance."
Aug 27 2012: It is similar with Canada's system; there is a small amount of mixed grade classrooms in elementary and middle schools but in secondary school the practice is more common. I view these examples as a scaled down version of the possible fully mixed school model but I like what I see so far with some of the results and feedback. Fritzie, what is your opinion on scaling up from this level of the experiment and trying a more mixed model. For example, where all classes (not just some of the sciences and other subjects, but everything from language, to math, to science, to art) in school are taken at student pace, so if a student is excelling at a course in one semester he/she can take the following course the next semester rather than waiting until the next year. Or even having accelerated courses that a student could complete in a shorter frame of time. Do you think this would be a more efficient use of student time and more importantly do you think it would be an effective teaching model?
Aug 27 2012: At my son's high school and where my daughters went (public school), math, languages, science (except 9th grade biology) and art/music were all mixed. It works fine. No one cares about age differences.
Both those high schools also have accelerated versions of courses or courses offering a more intensive option.
I think these are time-tested approaches that serve students well.
Aug 27 2012: We already talked about how grades 6-8 often have some blending of ages as well as variants of courses that move at different paces.
I am less familar with curriculum and instruction for lower grades, other than of course that there are lower grades programs that proceed in every subject at a faster pace and with greater depth. than a regular class for students who are ready for that. Lots of big city and suburban public schools in the US offer such options. Maybe in Canada also?
But there should also be plenty of research on blending ages in lower grades for some subjects. Decades ago when I was in grade school in a very giant and diverse California school district, kids moved to reading classes based on reading level rather than age. Those were lets just say ancient times.
So the idea is far from new! And there are certainly samples now of schools, more private perhaps than public, that blend ages in grade school.
Usually the research in education is highly searchable, so if no one here has any specific references about the experience in blending ages at grade school, an internet search should help. One big clearinghouse for research articles in education is called ERIC. here is a start; http://www.rand.org/pubs/working_papers/2009/RAND_WR685.pdf
Aug 27 2012: Thanks Fritzie I'll research the topic some more with that. Another follow up question to some of your previous responses, are you basing the effectiveness of these models on the number of students using the opportunity to take higher level or accelerated courses? Also, do you have any opinion on how sociologically these students may be affected by being in these classes?
Aug 29 2012: My elementary experience was similar to this. Many students at my school spoke little no English, making "no child left behind" an outrageous proposition. What happened was each student would periodically take tests on their reading levels and the library would help that student find books in their reading range. While we were all the same age, we got to experience literature at our own pace.
Aug 27 2012: Here is a page with lots of links for you: http://www.multiage-education.com/multiagelinks/index.html
I have not done formal research myself on this. I am sharing anecdote only from my experience in education.
In secondary grades, I think the variation in maturity within students of one age likely swamps the variation across grades. I have not noticed any issues, provided the teacher knows how to accomodate the differences that exist. For example, the first week of school, I would seat the younger kids in front to let them get comfortable rather than having them possibly intimidated to be in class with kids a foot taller than they were. That meant when they were new at school, sixies first sat with other sixies.
For social effects at grade school, you will need to follow up research leads. I cannot help you.
I was evaluating the effectiveness of mixing grades/ages only by how well students demonstrated they learned the material at hand and the sense of friendship and comraderie that developed in the classroom. I was not judging by the number of students who were in accelerated courses, though I do think that effective differentiation of instruction works best when there are accelerated courses for students who learn faster than average.

The Cubs and White Sox have some of the worst records in the league. Yet Chicago still went a little crazy over baseball this summer.
For scholars on race in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, nothing in a recent official article on race and the priesthood was new. The forthright treatment of the subject, however, including repudiating myths that had been used to legitimate the ban on black men from the priesthood until 1978, was a matter of rejoicing for many longtime advocates of racial equality within Mormonism. The heroes of this story, however, are the black members of the LDS Church who refused to leave despite being afforded second-class status.
Runaway Slave Narratives
The runaway slave narratives compiled by Devon Carbado and Donald Weise are as moving as any story by Suzanne Collins or J.R.R. Tolkien.
Here's the ad Newt Gingrich has been running in South Carolina since Monday night's debate.
Until fairly recently, scholars have not known very much about the everyday lives of enslaved African Americans. But in the past 20 years a wealth of historical studies has lent considerable insight into the worlds of the men, women and children held in bondage in North America. We now know a great deal about how they worked, worshiped, ate and attempted to keep their families together.
Seven years in the writing, this is a significant and comprehensive history of African Americans and their quest for recognition in the Episcopal Church. It completes a trilogy that began with George Freeman Bragg's History of the Afro-American Group (1922) and continued with Harold Lewis's Yet with a Steady Beat (1996).
Lay My Burden Down: Unraveling Suicide and the Mental Health Crisis Among African Americans, by Alvin Poussaint, M.D., and Amy Alexander
This history of African Americans is a quintessentially American history. It presents the perspective of a people who have been among the most eloquent voices for and embodiments of America's cherished ideals of the essential liberty and equality of all people, the right to self-determination and the pursuit of happiness, the sanctity of individual life, and equality before the law.
The old slogan "couples who pray together stay together" may be true especially for African Americans, a new study shows.
The survey of religion, race and relationships found that African Americans attend church more as couples compared to members of other racial and ethnic groups.
Calculating the incalculable
When Washington Post writer Colbert King invited readers to respond to the idea of paying reparations to the descendants of African-American slaves, he got a mailbox full of opinions. "I'm all for reparations for blacks," said one. "By the way, as a descendant of Anglo-Saxons, I've been deeply traumatized by what the Normans did to us in 1066. How about some for me too?"

It's quite a common question that gets asked, and it is important that you ask it.
It is a myth that every dog should keep its testicles to maintain its "manliness". Dogs do not need to breed. It doesn't make a dog any better if it does breed, and it certainly doesn't make its owner a better person either! And it certainly can make that dog much more difficult to manage if it is not neutered.
The reality is that unless there is a specific reason to breed your dog, it should be neutered at an early age to prevent unwanted pregnancies, minimize aggressive male behavior, and to lessen the chance of some forms of cancer.
My recommendation is that the dog gets neutered between 2 and 6 months old. In fact, when we place puppies, we will neuter them before they go and include this as part of the purchase price. We strongly encourage other breeders to do the same. Yes, there is always a small risk associated with any sort of surgery, but there is far greater risk associated with owning and managing a dog with an aggressive sex drive. There is significant evidence showing that younger pups manage through the surgery option much better than older dogs. Indeed, the surgery is quite simple and can be performed in a matter of minutes. We recommend that you seek a couple of quotes from different vets as prices can differ enormously.
If your dog is not neutered, you will often see the following:
-they will pee on everything and anything - including all furniture, curtains, shoes, and handbags in your house.
-a major change of behavior around bitches "in season". Once a dog has actually had sex, this behavior can be magnified significantly on future occasions when coming in contact with fertile bitches.
-many dogs will actively seek fertile bitches breaking out of seemingly secure fences. Indeed we have a friend whose dog broke his chain, then broke out of a shed, then chewed through fences, and got into the house where the bitch was housed, and was able to breed with her producing pups 9 weeks later.
-sometimes dogs will be aggressive to other dogs and may hump any other dog (males included) that he finds. This behavior can go on for some time.
-often dogs not neutered will seek out neutered males to hump. You can imagine the outcomes that this can have in terms of aggressiveness (not to mention your embarrassment)
-sometimes the dog will refuse to eat whenever they smell a fertile bitch
-male dogs can sometimes be quite aggressive to a female in season
-male dogs seeking to fulfill their sexual drive will often hump anything or anyone that moves
-male dogs can howl and cry for weeks while a bitch is in season within smelling distance of them (and believe me, this will drive you nuts)
-often males will exude a smell related to the sex hormones when a bitch is in season. This smell is appalling, and you will be doing your best to figure out how to get rid of it. (good luck - we haven't figured out a way yet).
It is surprising just how major the behavior change in dogs can be when bitches are in season. Before I got my toy poodle neutered he would actually attack my old neutered boxer when bitches were in season. Naturally, a toy poodle cannot do a heck of a lot of damage to a boxer, but in one instance the boxer decided he'd had enough and turned on the poodle. Luckily I was there to stop any damage. However, when involved with stud dogs on other occasions, I have been damaged (bitten) by aggressive stud dog behavior - and by dogs who normally had the most superb temperament. As an old-timer mentor said to me recently - "a male will actually attempt to kill any male who he thinks will mate a bitch near him."
When a male dog is after a fertile bitch that is the only thing on his mind. He will do anything that he can think of to get at bitches. This includes scaling fences, breaking down doors, mating through fences, and physically harming and even killing other dogs, etc. Additionally, as the owner of the male dog, you are as responsible as the owner of the bitch, for any puppies that are born. This means you have a ethical responsibility for life to rescue any of those pups if they ever end up in the pound. (as a note: it is likely in future that legally as well as morally you will have this responsibility).
When you get to this point, you really need to ask yourself, "is this really worth it?"
Frankly, in the 99.99% of cases, it is not worth it. Do yourself, your family, and your neigbhours a favour by getting your dog neutered.
Don't wait until your dog starts getting sexual drives before you neuter him. In many cases, once the dog starts the misbehavior associated with attempting to breed, that behavior can stay after the neutering has taken place.

Ease of Use
This has worked great for my little girl, she was unable to even go to school when her symptoms were at their worst. She is now leading a normal life. However, she has been on it for 6 months now and her side effects are weight gain, sore legs especially at night and I have noticed bruising, not sure if this is related. Going to try and reduce the dosage and see what happens.

Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno has been ruled out indefinitely after undergoing surgery on a long-standing elbow injury, the club has confirmed.
The first-choice keeper has suffered with the problem for some time and the condition was aggrevated during Sunday's 2-1 Bundesliga win at Bayern Munich.
Leverkusen manager Sami Hyppia says the 20-year-old shot-stopper, who has been ever-present for Bayern since August 2011, is unavailable and did not specify when he would return to action.
He told Deutsche Presseagentur: "Bernd Leno is out of action. He has had surgery.
"He was feeling pain over this for some time. He confessed that he felt greater pain after the match against Bayern Munich on Sunday.
"He is not available."
Reserve keeper Michael Rensing, who joined Leverkusen from Cologne in the summer, is expected to temporarily take the gloves in Germany Under-21 international Leno's absence.

Selena Gomez Goes Gangsta With Her Bra Hanging Out (VIDEO)
Yes, that's a half-naked Selena Gomez.Send the screaming little girls out of the room. Selena Gomez has gone gangsta. And the queen of tween TV just gave the world a peek at her bra and her tummy! Maybe Harold Camping was right, the end of the world really is nigh? Prepare your zombie-fighting materials, pronto!
Up until now, Gomez has done a straight-up amazing job of balancing normal teen behavior with parent-pleasing. As the arrest of child actor Mitchel Musso on DUI charges proved just today, it's not easy being a Disney star on the verge of adulthood. But her squeaky clean song lyrics and relationship with Jesus-loving Justin Bieber have kept her from falling into the Lindsay Lohan trap.
So one can only imagine what the Biebs is thinking today, watching the one lady he plans to marry and get pregnant -- as soon as he actually hits adulthood himself that is -- flashing her over the shoulder boulder holder in a promo for the upcoming MTV European Music Awards. Gomez is hosting the event in Belfast on November 1, and she celebrated with a rap song congratulating herself on landing the gig:
Holy alter ego, Batman! Selena Gomez is already adorable, but scruffy Selena is hawt!
It can't be a coincidence that this video with two different Selenas surfaced on the same day that Monte Carlo hits DVD. The movie features Gomez as a fresh-eyed high school grad out of middle America who ventures to Europe on an adventure, only to end up assuming the life of a naughty heiress who just so happens to look exactly like her. The premise sounds racy, but having watched it with my enthralled 6-year-old, I can tell you it's classic Gomez: super sweet.
This video, on the other hand ... folks, it's Selena Gomez pretending to be a gangsta. We've got some cleavage that is certainly va va voom. But if this kind of video came from any other actress, we'd have moved on already.
It's really only news because it's Selena Gomez trying to rap and showing some lacy underthings. There's no boob. It's all PG. She certainly can't help how she fills out that cup at 19. And darn it if she doesn't even make her attempt at the F bomb sound cute!
I'm guessing some parents will freak over this. But then, those parents really shouldn't let their kids watch MTV anyway. Just because Selena Gomez grew up a teeny weeny bit doesn't mean those kids have to.
Do you think this will hurt Selena's super sweet image any more than the thought of her one day making babies with Justin Bieber?

I saw the ad and thought nothing of it except that it was too cute for me. No one should have a problem with this. Those that do are letting (or even enforcing) their children to follow and look up to celebrities based on convenience (easier for a parent to say so-and-so would not do this so you shouldnt either).

Apple win whacks Android resale prices
Resale site Gazelle.com reports a 50% increase in Samsung smartphones since the verdict, which led to a 10% drop in prices.
This post comes from Quentin Fottrell at partner site SmartMoney.
While many experts predict Apple's court victory over Samsung could shake up the wireless industry over the long term, it's already having an impact on one key area: the resale market.
Since the $1.05 billion verdict Friday -- which found that Samsung infringed on six Apple patents -- customers of Samsung have been dumping their Android products on at least one major resale site. Gazelle.com reports a 50% increase in Samsung smartphones over the past three days, which has led to a 10% drop in prices for those devices. "Consumers seem to be jumping ship," says Anthony Scarsella, chief gadget officer at Gazelle.com. "We expect this trend to continue, especially with this latest verdict."
Some experts predict prices will continue to drop as Android phones flood the market. The court decision, they point out, is creating a lot of uncertainty about Android upgrades. The next generation of Samsung phones may be very different from those on the market today. (Post continues below.)
Consumers get used to certain key features on their favorite smartphones -- like the way apps are laid out or how they zoom in on pictures, experts say. "Android customers are no longer sure of that," says Yung Trang, the president of deal aggregator TechBargains.
To be sure, even before the ruling Android products didn't hold their resale value as well as iPhones. The Samsung S II -- which sells for $199 new on a two-year contract, the same as a 16GB iPhone 4S -- currently goes for $90 on resale site NextWorth. The iPhone, however, sells for as much as $300 on NextWorth; at that price, consumers often make a profit on the subsidized price when they trade up. "This will continue to hurt Android resale values," says Louis Ramirez, senior feature writer on Dealnews.
And that gap is likely to widen, says Jeff Trachsel, chief marketing officer of NextWorth. And Samsung's problems may get worse before they get better: On Monday, Apple filed a notice with the U.S. District Court identifying eight Samsung devices it wants to ban in the U.S. (Samsung did not respond to requests for comment.) Trachsel and other experts also say the verdict comes at a bad time for Samsung with the iPhone 5 due for release on Sept. 12.
"The court decision reasserts Apple's dominance in the space," Trachsel says.
Android models, of course, still have some key features that iPhones don't. For starters, they usually have considerably bigger screens. Motorola Droid Razr Maxx and HTC's One X both have 4.3-inch displays, and Samsung S III comes in at 4.8 inches -- versus the iPhone's 3.5 inches.
The S III battery has more than 10 hours of talk time; the Droid Razr Maxx has 21.5 hours -- far more than the mere eight hours of talk time provided by the iPhone on 3G. Most Android phones use the Adobe Flash Player for videos, since they use Google's operating system; the iPhone doesn't.

Despite Challenges, A Commitment to Excellence
Speaking to a room of NCI researchers and investigators last week, NCI Deputy Director Dr. Alan Rabson reflected on his 50 years at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), all but the first year of which he has spent as an NCI employee. I've had the pleasure of working with this extraordinary man since my arrival at NCI, and over the past 3 years I have seen the skills, talent, and energy that have exemplified every moment of his long career. He is a role model of the true meaning of commitment and excellence, always putting NCI, its people, and its mission first.
Al launched the NCI Combined Intramural Principal Investigator retreat as he introduced Dr. Susan Gottesman, the winner of the first annual Alan Rabson Award for NCI Intramural Research. Dr. Gottesman, of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in NCI's Center for Cancer Research (CCR), has been with NCI for 28 years and is internationally recognized as a leader in identifying small RNA and its function.
Like Dr. Rabson, she too typifies dedication to public service and exemplary basic and clinical research. That same commitment to service and scientific excellence was on display among the investigators in attendance at the retreat, many of whom presented data from their research - a rich array of investigation being performed by researchers from CCR and the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, often in collaboration with outside researchers.
The poster presentations at the retreat covered everything from basic research in cell signaling to development of predictive models to novel clinical interventions to cohort consortium studies and genetics determinants of cancer susceptibility. It's this sort of investigative diversity that makes the NCI intramural research program unique and so valuable to the overall cancer research enterprise.
The intramural retreat came just one day after the second annual retreat of three of NCI's primary advisory boards (see lead story), during which the participants grappled with how, given the current fiscal limitations facing biomedical research, NCI can continue its upward, forward-thinking trajectory. To be certain, budget limitations mean we need to make difficult but creative choices; hurdles must be overcome. At both meetings last week - and in every visit I have made to cancer centers or in meetings with advocacy groups - I am struck by the robust undercurrent of sincere optimism that our progress against cancer will not just continue, but accelerate.
In large part, I think that optimism is rooted in the cancer community's belief in its mission and the remarkable people who compose it. Whether it's NCI advisory boards or visits to NCI-funded cancer centers, there is unprecedented support for collaboration and team science, for new technologies, for revamping the clinical trials infrastructure, and for working with industry to sort through thorny issues such as intellectual property rights. So when somebody asks me why I'm so optimistic about our future, I can tell them it's because of this indefatigable momentum that I see every day - a momentum that will spur us to make the sort of reasoned, intelligent choices that will allow us to achieve the 2015 goal.
Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach

Rate Dr. Josh B. Ottenheimer
Dr. Josh B. Ottenheimer's Ratings
I found Dr. Ottenheimer to be the most personable Doctor you could ever ask for personality wise. Knowledge of his craft I have to rate that as extremely poor. I had what was supposed to be simple bunionectomy. The surgery was messed up. He had put in pins and screws that were so painful that he had to removed them. He used local anesthesia to do so. I had two nurses holding to me to attempt to help me through the excruciating pain I was enduring as he performed that procedure. When he was done I was unable to walk properly because he had messed up the second toe in the process and it would not bend. It took me 1.5 years to find an orthopedic surgeon to perform corrective surgery on my foot. My second toe had to be reconstructed to allow it to bend properly to be able to walk. And the bunionectomy had to be redone to correct Dr. Ottenhiemer's work. I would NEVER recommend this doctor to anyone and it is many years later and I still cannot believe what he did to my foot.

Staff is awful and unresponsive. Be very careful with orthotics with this office! They are covered 100% by my insurance, but I've had multiple issues with them not putting it through correctly to insurance and billing me for them. The staff is rude, doesn't return calls, gives you the run around, etc. Dr. O is just ok - nothing special.
Submitted July 12, 2013 | flag
Dr. O was wonderful. I had a bout of tendonitis and gout (my first one) all within a two week period. He was able to figure everything out quickly and compassionately! He even called during the week to see how I was feeling/doing. Definitely top notch!

Tempted [Reader x Law]"Aww, Bepo, you're so cute~!" you squealed."S-Sorry," the bear looked down."Don't be sorry that you're an adorable little poop!" you said, cuddling the large animal.You heard a grunt from the corner of the room. You saw Law looking pissed and trying to avert his eyes from you."You jealous that a bear's getting more attention than you?" you teased."Tch, hell no," Law said."You sure~?" you said, walking slowly to Law.You saw Law gulp and try to distract himself from you. You let yourself sit on his lap and made yourself comfortable. You threw your arm around his shoulders and tried not to laugh uncontrollably at Law's expression."So you're not the least bit tempted if I sat here?" you giggled."...No.""Hmm...not even if I did this?" you whispered into his ear."......No.""Not even...this?" you teased him further by tracing his jawline lightly with your finger.".........No."You smirked at the slight layer of sweat appearing on his forehead."Alright then, I'll just entertain S
Anatomy [Reader x Law]You innocently skipped down the hall before looking inside the galley where Bepo and Law were discussing who-knows-what, while Penguin and Shachi were playing cards right next to them. Jean Bart was uncomfortably cramped inside; poor soul. Your eyes rested on Law, and you smirked.You walked up to the chair beside Law and sat down. Bepo looked up curiously at this action."Yo, [Name], wha-," started Shachi."Law~?" you cooed."Rude," muttered Penguin.Law looked at you with a skeptical face. Meanwhile, Shachi glared at you. You gave him an apologetic smile before turning your attention back to Law."Hm?" he answered back."How about we ditch this joint and study some anatomy?" you suggested, adding a wink with it.Penguin and Shachi passed out from nosebleeds, and Bepo blushed furiously. Jean Bart facepalmed at their innocence. Law stood up and threw you over his shoulder, and exited the room. You gave a thumbs up to the remaining group who gawked at Law's blunt move.Bingo.<
His Hat [Reader x Law]"[Name], what are you doing?" questioned Law."Oh nothing...just trying out a new look," you giggled, "How does it look?"Law sighed and reached for his fuzzy white hat, currently placed on your [H/C] hair. You expertly dodged his hand and ran out into the hall. You bumped into Penguin and Shachi, who looked at you curiously. You sheepishly gave a small wave before running off."I got people to see and things to do!" you said, laughing.You practically knocked the door down and nearly fell overboard the submarine. Bepo had complained about the cramped space, and so the crew had surfaced. The sky was nice and cloudless, while the sea was calm and peaceful. You leaned against the railing, letting yourself catch your breath."[Name]," you heard a voice behind you, "Hat.""Law," you mimicked his monotone voice, "No."You could see him sighing again in your mind."It's rather cozy, if I say so myself," you said."Room."Crap."This is so not fair, Law," you groaned, as
Nodachi [Reader x Law]You stuck your head into the room. You scanned it and saw Law, possibly napping, with his hands behind his head and his leg propped on the other, with his nodachi laying next to him. You didn't take Law as a heavy sleeper, so you tip-toed inside. You quietly snuck up to him, hand reached out. Curling your fingers around his nodachi, you silently lifted it up. And wow it was heavy.You lifted it onto your shoulder and turned around to escape. Your foot was almost out the door when you heard Law shifting in bed behind you. You turned your head and found Law sitting up, staring at you."And just what are you doing?" he mused.You gave out a tiny squeak and ran out into the hall. You entered the galley and practically hit Shachi in the face with the nodachi."I didn't think you'd actually get it," said Shachi."I didn't think you'd actually get it and live to tell the tale," added Penguin."HE CAUGHT ME-," you stopped to catch your breath, "YOU ASSDIPS."Shachi and Penguin ha
Temperature [Reader x Law]You were with Law and Bepo in the submarine, watching them discuss the next route. You followed Law's fingers, as they pointed to a spot on the GPS. Damn, they were some pretty sexy fingers. Not that you were attracted to the fingers, but rather the owner of them. What you would do to tap that fine ass...I mean, what? Pshh, you're an innocent angel, you don't think thoughts like that. You lightly blushed at your thoughts. Then Law suddenly stopped and looked up.Did I say that out loud?, you panicked."It's cold in here," pointed out Law. "Someone turn the temperature up."Without missing a beat, you quickly answered, "Why? You seem pretty damn hot to me."Law and Bepo stared at you. You realized what you had said and turned as red as a tomato. Law hummed in amusement. You stuttered."W-Whaaat, Penguin? You want me to feed the horses?" you pretended as if Penguin had called for you.Law raised an eyebrow at this. You stiffened under his gaze."Um...gotta jet, see ya!" you yelle
Drunk [Reader x Ace]"YOSH! PARTY!" yelled Thatch."We just parti--," started Marco, but got interrupted by a flying chair."There's no such thing as too much partying, Marco-kun!" you laughed."Don't call me Marco-kun!" he growled."Marco-chan~," teased Ace.Marco and Ace growled at each other. You laughed at them and downed your drink.~~~~~~~~~~Half the crew was on the floor, passed out and drunk as ever. The other half was struggling to stay awake. You were pretty sure you were the only sober one on the ship. You cringed as Thatch rolled over in his sleep, knocking over a bottle of sake causing it to spill on the table.You stood up to go to bed and you heard stumbling footsteps behind you. You turned around and a body fell on you in a drunken mess. You yelped a little as you fell onto the floor. You groaned in pain as your back hit the ground and the heavy body kept you anchored."Oi, dipshit, get off," you snarled.The body shifted and slowly lifted itself off of you. You saw that it was Ace,
Ice [Reader x Kid]"Damn this fan!" you hissed.You glared at the fan that squeaked everytime it turned. It was unbelievably hot today and this fan was getting on your last nerves. You laid on the ground sprawled out in a tank top and short shorts. You were tempted to dress less but revealing any more skin and you'd be arrested."Don't break anything this time," warned Killer."I'll do what I want," you retorted.Killer sighed and went back to sharpening his little curved knifey things. You never really took the time to figure out what they were called. You sighed at the fan. You crawled over to your abandoned sneakers and grabbed one of them. You threw it at the darn fan and watched as it sort of...broke. Killer sighed again at you."I'll tell Kid to fix it," Killer said, standing up."Thanks!" you said, crawling back to the front of the fan.You rolled around for a few minutes when you heard heavy footsteps enter the room. You looked up at Kid who was wearing a tank top and shorts that went to his knee
Drunk II [Reader x Luffy]"Oi, [Name]!" you heard Zoro call your name.You turned around to see Zoro dragging Luffy by the shirt and raised an eyebrow."What happened to him?" you asked."He's drunk," Zoro said simply, dropping Luffy at your feet."Uh, drunk or, like, drunk?" you stared at Luffy."Drunk," he sighed. "Oh well, he's your problem now!"You stared in disbelief as Zoro walked away yawning. One day, you were going to kill that swordsman. Seriously."What do I do with you now?" you muttered, nudging Luffy with your foot."Huh~?" Luffy slurred, looking up."Good morning, sleeping beauty," you laughed."Y-You think I'm beautiful?" Luffy blushed."Oh my god, you're drunk," you gasped.Luffy started fidgeting and staring at his feet."You're kinda pretty," Luffy said softly."Uh, thank you?" you snorted."But don't tell anyone that!" he yelled."Right, right," you sighed."I'M SERIOUS, DON'T EVEN TELL ME!" he shouted."But-...okay...," you said, not bothering to argue. "Let's get you
Origami [Reader x Luffy]You expertly folded the small square of paper. Folding and folding and folding until it resembled a crane. You smiled at your work of art and hung it to the foremast of the Thousand Sunny, along with two or three (or maybe twenty) of your other creations. You reached for another piece of paper when your ecstatic captain bounded up to you.Truth be told, you harbored a small crush for Luffy. You very well couldn't tell him since he probably didn't know what a crush was. You internally sighed at this as you smiled at him."[Name], whatcha doin'?" he asked."Origami," you answered."Eh?" Luffy said, obviously not knowing what it was."You take a piece of paper and fold it until it makes a certain shape. Some shapes are harder than others, like the animal kinds," you explained to him.Luffy's eyes widened and his fist hit his palm."So it's a mystery paper!" he concluded."Yeah, something like that," you giggled.He spotted your creations on the foremast and leaped onto the seat."AWESOME~
Stolen covers (Trafalgar LawXReader) RQYou blinked your eyes sleepily, wincing at the streak of faded morning sunlight that fell just across your face and heated your skin. The first thing you noticed was how cold your body was in comparison to your face. Straining your neck, you glanced down at your pyjama-clad body. Instantly you scowled and shot a glare at the person who had his back to you and who was still snoring away peacefully."Trafalgar," you muttered in your terribly husky morning voice. He didn't react in any way. You puffed your cheeks up in frustration, looking at your quilt-less state. Then you spitefully glanced up at the dark-haired man. Who'd stolen the entire quilt and would now be able to join the clan of giant caterpillars you'd heard sailors speak of before. Who knows, perhaps Trafalgar could even become head caterpillar."Trafalgaaar," you whined, pushing and pulling on his side to wake him up or at least manage to release some of the preciously warm quilt cov
Law X Reader: Party Pooper"I can't believe I actually decided to form an alliance with this moron." Law sighed, leaning up against the main mast of the Thousand Sunny, pulling his hat down past his eyes with a noticeable frown on his face.You, who had come with Law onto the ship, were completely enjoying yourself in the bouncy and joyful environment, next to him sulking in the corner of course. And Caesar. He was on the other end of the ship up against a wall sulking about his capture."This was your idea, Law! Not mine~!" You called at him from in the middle of a silly game with the Straw Hats. "You should loosen up for once! Maybe this ought to do you some good. Even I saw how worked up your ass was working with Caesar. Good choice bringing me along. I can't get a damn word in to get you to have fun!""Oi! Tra-guy! Get over here and come play!" Luffy yelled childishly from behind you. "Your partner ______ is so fun!" He added."I d
Trafalgar Law x Bisexual!ReaderYou sighed as you walked into the club. The other Heart pirates had decided to go out for the night after reaching the new island. And what better way to spend the night than going to a strip club? But the real reason why you were sighing was the image in front of you.Your captain, Trafalgar Law, known as The Surgeon of Death, was sitting in front of the stage, watching the half naked woman's every move, all while ignoring his girlfriend. Aka, you.It actually surprised you that he bothered to even step into this strip club, after all, he usually doesn't even want to go to a normal pub. The fact that the other Heart pirates were in here was no surprise what so ever, they were perverts after all, but Trafalgar fucking Law? And he has a girlfriend! How rude.Your (e/c) eyes left Law's form and looked around till they landed on Bepo who was seated by the table in the far corner, not really having any kind of reaction to the topless women walking by.You walked up to him, and sat d
Heart - Law x ReaderHeart - Law x ReaderYou looked up at Law as he walked into your room in the submarine. A sigh passed your lips, and you turned the other way. Were you mad, disappointed and frustrated on him? Oh yes, damn straight you were.You see, Law is the one and only who locked you up in your room. And he would do this every time danger lurked around the corner. To be honest, you were tired of this, of this treatment. How could he treat you like this? Weren't you two supposed to be lovers?You felt the bed you sat on dip as Law sat down beside you, quiet. Cue awkward silence. You heard a deep sigh behind you, from the man you loved unconditionally."You know why I do this, right (name)?" he probably stared at your back right now. You only shrugged in response, giving him the silent treatment.You knew that it would make him mad, but right now, you didn't give a fuck. You did get quite a shock when he pulled you up into his lap. Law never was the one to be affection
Body Heat (Ace x Reader)As the sun hung low over Alabasta's barren horizon, the crew finally called a halt to their relentless marching, dropping heavy packs from their tired shoulders into the hot sand at their feet. You collapsed to the ground in a puff of dust, your legs no longer able to support your weight. Likewise, the others dropped like flies around you, groaning and massaging their sore and blistered feet.The only ones who remained unaffected were Nami and Vivi, who had been given the luxury of being carried across the burning sands on the back of Eyelashes the camel; and Ace who seemed perfectly at home in the sweltering heat. You eyed them enviously as you took a long drink from your water skin."Hey, don't look at us like that!" Nami scolded. "You had your chance to ride with us.""I know," you groaned. "Now I wish I'd taken it."Ace chuckled, dropping his pack beside you and wandering off in search of something, though what you d
Privacy (Mihawk x Reader)You stood at the door of the spacious dining hall, leaning casually against the frame. With your arms crossed and a slight smirk on your face, you watched the mysterious swordsman as he sat occupying the large, throne-like chair at the head of the long table.He had discarded his usual embroidered coat and feathered hat in favour of a light, airy shirt that left his powerful chest exposed, and a pair of tight fitting black pants. A book lay open before him, his liquid gold gaze skimming across the pages, and a glass of red wine was held delicately between the long, pallid fingers of his right hand. He showed no signs that he had noticed your presence, but you knew that nothing got past the infamous Dracule 'Hawk-Eyes' Mihawk.You sauntered over to him, perching yourself on the arm of the chair and leaned over his shoulder. You noticed his eyebrow twitch in annoyance. He did not look up from his book, but his pupils had stopped moving and you could tell he was only keeping u
Wake Up (Zoro x Reader) RQHow can he still be asleep with all this racket?You stared in wonder at the green-haired man, sitting with his back resting against the mast of the ship, arms folded lazily behind his head in a makeshift pillow. His exposed chest rose and fell with each steady breath, completely oblivious to the antics of Luffy, Usopp and Chopper as they paraded about the ship, voices raised in a rowdy song.You watched the swordsman curiously as the trio passed within a foot of him, and yet he slept on, snoring softly."How does he do it?" you mused aloud to Sanji beside you.The cook followed your gaze, eyes narrowing as they fell on Zoro. He let out a short laugh. "His head is just so thick nothing can get through it, not even those three idiots." He gestured to the noisy trio, who were currently expressing, rather loudly, their growing appetites.Your eyes wandered back to Zoro, following the hard lines of his abs, marred by the scar that ran from shoulder to hip, pr
Luffy x Reader |Reunited|Two years. Two years it's been since you've seen them all and today was the day that you will all be reunited. How you missed them all, fishing with Usopp, helping Chopper with medicines, discussing books with Robin, having girly chats with Nami, cooking with Sanji, having jam sessions with Brook, sword fighting with Zoro, playing childish games with Luffy and Franky.You paced around the Thousand Sunny, waiting for the others to arrive. But you were waiting for one person in particular, your captain, Monkey D. Luffy. Why, you ask? Well, pretty much ever since you met him you've been madly in love with him. His childish charm was always the one thing in particular that you liked about him and his ear-to-ear smile he would always wear, no matter what, but you found it so overwhelmingly adorable how much he treasures his straw hat. However, you have always been so used to keeping your feelings to yourself, you have never plucked up the courage to tell Luffy about how you feel about him.
Zoro x reader (Jealousy) You sat on the deck of the Thousand Sunny. The sunlight pured on the ship and all the poeple doing their busness on it.. Luffy and Ussop were fooling around with Chopper and his medical supplies, Sanji was trying to make us girls some island smoothies, and Franky was probably making an invention, or something to impress Robin. Everyone else was doing their normal. Nami and Robin were sunbathing, and Zoro sat on the opposite end of the deck of you sleeping. His one scarred eye seemed normal when he slept. His three swords stuck to his side, even when he was unconsious.Man isn't he a crowd. Enough to make the most stubborn girl like you crazy. (e/c) eyes glared at his sleeping figure with delight and mystery. It would be a lie to say that you never enjoyed staring at him, unconsious or awake that is. You stood up and looked at the cloudless sky. The (FAVORITE COLOR) bikini tropical top went well with the same color swimsh
Bread [Reader x Law]"I DON'T LIKE BREAD!"The crew looked at him."Tra-guy, why don't you like bread?" asked Luffy.Law shuddered at the memory.~~~~~~~~~~"Get away!" you yelled, throwing an apple at Law."The hell was that for?" asked Law."An apple a day keeps the doctor away," you informed.Law sighed."You need your flu shot, [Name]," he shook his head, holding up the needle."DON'T TOUCH ME WITH THAT THING!" you shouted, running to the galley.You flipped a table over and hid behind it. You heard Law sigh, yet again, while walking into the room. You peered over the table and saw Law staring at your makeshift fort."It'll be quick, only a few seconds.""No!" you whined.Law walked towards you with the needle in hand. You screamed and grabbed a loaf of bread that the cook had just baked and threw it at Law.Law's eyes widened at the sudden attack. Then you grabbed a baguette and started whacking him with it."O-Oi! What are you doing, woman?!" he screamed."I don't want a shot!" you said, still beatin

What have you done to help the Earth?
In honor of Earth Day, I have a question for everyone on TED.com. What have you done to benefit the Earth? Have you recycled, started a club, raised awarness about the Earth's condition, turned down your heating and cooling ststem? Whatever you have done to help the Earth, I want to you post it right here. And, if you haven't done anything to help the Earth than write about something that you plan on/want to do in the near future.
Who knows, maybe it will inspire more people to contribute to saving our planet!

Apr 27 2012: The thing I have done to reduce my carbon footprint in the last year that I am the most excited about is to switch to using a Diva Cup instead of tampons or pads during my period. This silicone cup can be washed and reused for up to two years, reducing the waste generated by conventional feminine products (not to mention saving money). Its also better for your health because it doesn't absorb your natural lubrication, leave behind cottony residue and is less susceptible to bacterial growth. Approximately 7 billion tampons went into North American waste last year! This is a small and manageable step that any woman can make and the best part is you're not just saving the planet, but saving money and your heath too!

When A Hedge Fund Tells A Restaurant How To CookSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 14:46 -0400
- Olive Garden's breadsticks are part of the brand equity, as they come to every table. The breadsticks need to be of the highest quality, with a better taste and a firmer texture, and each table must receive hot breadsticks.
- The pasta at Olive Garden must be significantly improved. It must be prepared at the proper water temperature, boiled in salted water, precisely timed to not overcook, and tossed with sauces for each dish instead of the current practice of ladling sauce on top of heaps of coagulated pasta.
- We must rethink the amount of items from the flyer. Most fried foods are not authentically Italian and it slows service.
- We will explore a few gluten-free options, as many consumers prefer gluten-free dishes (1) Based on extensive research and discussions with culinary experts and suppliers, we believe we can accomplish these goals at Olive Garden's current price points without hurting margins

Outflows Signal High Yield Credit Concerns Remain; Deals Pulled, Potential Downgrades SurgeSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 15:25 -0400
The high-yield credit market remains stressed. An active week ended poorly as a heavy pipeline saw Vistaprint pull its deal citing "market conditions" as perhaps both a re-awakening of liquidity fears (Fed hawkishness concerns), price/spread moves, potential downgrades soar, and outflows signal the flashing red light that HY markets are shining is as red as ever. With buybacks having dwindled already - removing a significant leg from the equity rally - it seems CFOs are realizing that maybe they should have used some of that easy money to build as opposed to buy as they face weak growth, a lack of liquidity, and a wall of maturing debt in the next few years that will have to be refinanced at higher yields and spreads.

Rates 'Liftoff' Getting Closer, Goldman WarnsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 15:08 -0400
Recent comments from FOMC participants on the forward guidance and the appropriate timing of the first hike of the fed funds rate suggest, Goldman warns, a greater clustering of FOMC participants' views around a mid-2015 'liftoff' in rates. Similarly, private sector forecasts for the first hike are becoming more centered on mid-2015 rather than August to September.

UK Suffers Biggest Capital Outflow Since Lehman As Scottish Vote NearsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 14:16 -0400

Furthermore, Morgan Stanley said daily equity flow data pointed to "some of the largest UK equity selling on record."

With BofAML, Goldman, and now JPMorgan all bringing forward their 'liftoff' expectations for rates, US equity and bond markets are starting to quake a little. The Russell 2000 is now back in the red for 2014 and all but Trannies are red for September. The S&P is back to Aug 20 levels as 10Y yields push 15bps higher on the week to 2-month highs over 2.60%. VIX is back over 14, catching up with rates and FX volatility.

The Game Of Thrones & The Game Of MarketsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 13:11 -0400
There is a connection between modern capital markets and the NFL (and between Central Bankers and Roger Goodell). The connection is solipsism – a pathological egocentrism where reality is defined by an individual's mental perceptions and constructs. Collective solipsism is what overwhelming Common Knowledge looks like. It's the annihilation of an individual's perception of reality in favor of a group perception of reality. The collective solipsism of modern markets is the most crucial game to comprehend.

Harsh Austerity Sends Italian, Spanish Debt To Record HighsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 12:43 -0400
Damn you debt-reducing austerity-that-is-blamed-for-everything-that-is-wrong-with-Europe's-triple-dip-recessionary-economy-when-it-is-the-corrupt-socialist-incompetent-politicians'-fault. Damn you to hell! Oh wait a minute:
Italy's government debt rose to a record €2.169 trillion in July from €2.168 trillion in June, the Bank of Italy says in its public-finances supplement.
Spain total govt debt amounted to a record € 1.01 trillion in 2Q, up from € 995.9b in 1Q, Bank of Spain says; 2Q Total Govt Debt Rises to 98.9% of GDP From 97.4% in 1Q
With austerity like this, who needs to spend like a drunken sailor?

Where ISIS Makes Its MoneySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 12:13 -0400
President Obama's 4-pronged strategy to 'degrade and destroy' ISIS includes a 'financial attack' (according to the Treasury) as they recognize, as The Daily Signal notes, one major hurdle in the way of the 'strategy' is the brutal organization's control of oil fields in Iraq and Syria; which ISIS uses that oil wealth to help finance its terror operations. Here's how they do it...

China Daily: "Western Sanctions Will Make Moscow Back The Chinese Yuan Against The Dollar"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 10:51 -0400
"The apparently long-term rupture of Russia's relations with the West offers an opportunity to the Chinese leadership to enhance its already close relationship with the Kremlin and thus turn the global geopolitical balance in its favor - not unlike former US president Richard Nixon and former secretary of state Henry Kissinger who reached out to Chairman Mao Zedong in 1972. The Russians, angry with Washington, are now more amenable to giving China wider access to their energy riches and their advanced military technology. The Western sanctions pushing Russia out of the international financial system are also making Moscow more ready and willing to back the Chinese yuan against the US dollar." - China Daily

Congresswoman: "I'm Glad People Have This 9/11 Mentality Again"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 11:43 -0400
In the wake of non-stop propaganda from politicians of both parties, as well as a mainstream media desperate for ratings, the American public is finally terrified enough to support another war in the Middle East. This is an unfortunate development... With just 6% of likely U.S. voters thinking Congress is doing a good or excellent job according to a recent Rasmussen poll, it's no surprise to see so many of these corrupt clowns falling over one another to appear tough on ISIS, using myriad hyperbolic and Orwellian statements.
