Ferlita campaign says it dished out 800 plates of spaghetti
Tampa mayoral candidate Rose Ferlita's campaign reports that more than 800 people showed up Sunday for her "Spaghetti Get Ready" dinner at the Sons of Italy lodge. Those who attended received a plate of noodles in exchange for a $5 campaign contribution.
Here's what Ferlita told attendees, according to a press release issued by the campaign: "People win campaigns, not candidates, not mailers, it's about people. The best thing a candidate can hope for are supporters like I have. We must protect the fiber of Tampa, the things from our past that make us a unique city. And we have to keep an eye towards the future. But we have problems now. As your mayor, I will bring solutions to these problems now."

Newport Beach is in danger of losing its host status with the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure amid dwindling city support for the annual breast-cancer research fundraiser.
The Orange County chapter of the organization did not accept a $3,500 grant from the city which would have helped cover some of the expenses of the $400,000 event this September.
The foundation is one of about 250-and-growing organizations that ask the city for support each year, city officials said.
Though the organization is still planning to hold the race at Fashion Island this year, rejecting the grant sent the message that more support would be needed for the organization to continue holding the event in Newport Beach, said Lisa Wolter, the Orange County chapter's executive director.
"We love being in Newport Beach, and we hope that over the next year there's a closer relationship with the city and a stronger demonstration of wanting to have the race in Newport Beach," Wolter said. "If that's not happening, there are other communities that would love to host the race."
Wolter said city officials in Irvine and Anaheim have contacted the organization about hosting the race, but there are no concrete plans to move the event at this time.
Last year's grant was about $10,000 – dropping about $6,500 this year.
The foundation must foot the bill for safety measures such as firefighters and police officers, which cost between $17,000 and $20,000, as well as city permits.
Most of those expenses were previously waived by the city, Wolter said.
City officials have no plans to increase the grant support for the foundation and say the amount offered was fair compared with what other organizations ask for.
"The pie is getting larger, but the slices are getting smaller," said City Manager David Kiff. "More and more people are asking for support, and they're all for great causes."
This year, organizations asked for $550,000, but the city's budget sets aside about $300,000 for charity support, said city spokeswoman Tara Finnigan.
Kiff suggested that the annual race "may have outgrown us," since the city began hosting it 23 years ago.
Back then, there wasn't the same residential density there is now, he said.
Kiff added that he doesn't feel a sense of competition when it comes to keeping the race in Newport Beach.
"It's important to look at the cost of your venue," Kiff said. "You could go to Angel Stadium or the Great Park and probably have a lot less costs. I would respect that decision."

I am going to order a different tube extension because the 8 shot extension didn't look right and fell at the wrong spot in relation to the rib pillars. If I had used it I would have had to cut the barrel at 22" and it would have been too front heavy. I cut the barrel at 18.5" instead of 20" like I had intended. I'm going to get a 7 shot extension instead. I'll be putting a barrel clamp on it to support the mag tube, I haven't decided if I want to get one with a rail for a flashlight or possibly a laser.
The firesights are awesome, and although they are a little pricey at $40 they allowed me to have the rifle style sights I wanted and were an easy bolt on installation. They do a great job gathering light and make aiming a piece of cake even in very low light. Since this is a dedicated Home defense shotgun, I am trying to set it up for functionality in the dark so I'm considering a laser too, although I'm leaning against it.
Overall, I'm very pleased with how it turned out but I'm not sure I'm sold on the folding stock though. I'm thinking I should put the synthetic stock that came with the gun back on. If it came down to me needing to buttstroke an intruder I don't think the folder would hold up well. Also, I want to have more onboard ammo for reloads than the 3 spots on the folder. 3 is OK, but if a little is good, alot is better. I'm thinking of install a shell holder for extra ammo on the buttstock. The alternative would be to get a sling with loops, and I don't know how that would handle.
The picture quality is lousy, but the shotgun looks great and feels pretty good.

RJD2 Embarks on Third Leg of Four-Month Tour
Philly's own RJD2 is preparing to embark on the third leg of his massive four-month tour, and where better to start it than in his hometown of Philadelphia? RJ kicks things off on the east coast, with two shows in New York City, before heading up through Canada and down into the belly of the Midwest.
RJ and friends have been releasing videos at a feverish pace, with two new videos released in the last month! "The Glow" featured a vicious yuppie Ken doll, wreaking havoc in his endless search for the spotlight and more personal possessions. The newest is the strangely psychedelic, slightly post-apocalyptic envisioning of the song "A Spaceship For Now." Take it away, RJ:
"What I love about the video is how surreal and weird it is. It's like a timeline with gaps in it that basically forces you to come up with your own storyline or chronology. Or you can just bug out on the big ambience of the synths. It's a perfect fit."
Also, forget the pill-popping, cubicle-dwelling Minotaur of "Let There Be Horns" at your own risk!
Watch "A Spaceship For Now" here
Watch "The Glow" here
Watch "Let There Be Horns" here
In addition to the slew of videos, Brooklyn-based musician, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Alan Wilkis has remixed the track "A Shining Path." Be sure to take heed.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- My response to Jim Cramer's response to my contention that he's not just an old dog, but a crazy fox for pounding the table for a Microsoft ( MSFT) buy-out of Netflix ( NFLX) deserves a two-part retort of sorts.On Page Two of his piece, Jim makes two key points: 1. Because it has a strong balance sheet and is not desperate like Netflix, Microsoft has better bargaining power as it negotiates streaming content deals with big media companies such as Time Warner ( TWX). 2. Reed Hastings, contrary to my portrayal of him, is a "stand-up" guy who displayed "very good leadership" when he apologized for 2011's streaming/DVD split and price increase.
On point one, I call Cramer objectively wrong. On point two, it's a subjective thing. A matter of individual interpretation of Hastings' style. From what I know about Hastings from people who know him, he is a tremendous individual. However, based on the way he conducts business as CEO, I'm opposite Cramer here. Let's approach Hastings from a broader perspective that matters within the context of point one. For me, this -- along with how MSFT positions itself in the living room -- strikes the heart of the debate. If Cramer likes Reed Hastings, he must absolutely love Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes. There is not a better CEO in the business. And there's not a finer management team than the one Bewkes has assembled at HBO. The other day Time Warner announced a streaming service: Warner Archive Instant. Initially, it will not matter much, but that's irrelevant. The bigger picture, the dynamics of digital content licensing matters. The big media companies -- Time Warner, News Corp ( NWSA), Comcast ( CMCSA), Disney ( DIS), CBS ( CBS) -- hold the cards. They dictate the terms of engagement. What they will license to a third-party, for how much and all the other restrictions around its use and consumption. Do you think it really matters who sits at the other end of the table? Do you think Amazon.com ( AMZN) gets preferential treatment from the big content owners just because it's back isn't against the wall? Apple ( AAPL) hasn't gotten very far in its quest to secure content from the old guard media.

As if fully autonomous UAV operations didn't present enough of a challenge, Saab Aerosystems is developing one of its unmanned systems to operate at sea. The Skeldar M is a version of the company's V-150 Skeldar (shield) rotary-wing UAV intended for operation from a variety of vessels. Work is progressing toward automatic deck landing trials in June 2008, followed by Swedish Navy tests later in the year. The company places its in-service target at 2009.
At 175 kilograms empty the Skeldar M weighs more than its land-based cousin as a result of the 'marinization' that requires a sturdier structure to cope with heavier landings, and additional coatings to protect the vehicle in a maritime environment. However, it can also carry a heavier payload within its 250-kilogram maximum takeoff weight.
On a typical mission with fuel for an endurance of five hours, Skeldar M can carry a 40-kilogram load, considerably more than the land-based Skeldar. In practical terms, that translates into the M's ability to carry two payloads–for example, EO/IR and radar–rather than one. The radius of action is typically 180 kilometers with line-of-sight datalink.
Anders Carp, Saab's director of UAV Systems, outlined the intended roles for Skeldar M during the AUVSI Unmanned Systems Middle East conference here in Dubai. Important tasks include sea traffic control and identification, the Skeldar M effectively increasing the parent vessel's surveillance horizon. With a radar payload the UAV allows the vessel to conduct its task while remaining radar-silent itself. The capability lends particular application to the 'Visby' class of stealth corvettes operated by the Swedish Navy. Other roles include reconnaissance ahead of littoral and amphibious assault operations, target designation for naval weapon systems and littoral/maritime disaster damage assessment.
Along with facing the traditional maritime challenges of protection against salt corrosion and conquering the effects of spray, the Skeldar M team is addressing the problems of shipboard storage, especially on the 'Visby' corvettes, where space is short and where stealth requirements rule out external storage.
Another factor involves the need to integrate the UAV control and surveillance system into existing ship-based systems. Far more challenging, of course, is the requirement to safely and reliably recover the UAV to a pitching deck on a moving ship. Considered a truly autonomous vehicle, Skeldar must take off and land at the push of a button.
Debate continues as to whether the automatic recovery 'intelligence' should be based on the ship or in the UAV. Saab is initially targeting an autonomous recovery capability in sea states up to 4, later increasing to sea state 5.

My body handles this transition the worst out of all the seasons. Nature slows and draws inward during this transition to winter. Since we are part of nature, our bodies do as well!
I've noticed over the past few years that my "draw inward" always progresses in eight stages.
They are as follows:
- Stage 1: I have so much to do! -->
- Stage 2: I'm tired. -->
- Stage 3: I don't want to do anything. -->
- Stage 4: I'm not getting stuff done. -->
- Stage 5: I have no motivation. -->
- Stage 6: I feel blah. -->
- STAGE 7: **EPIPHANY!!!!! It's just the season change, be gentle to your body and listen to what it needs!!! -->
- Stage 8: Ok! I got this! :)
Does this all sound familiar to you?? When you get stuck in a rut (stages 3-6 above), it feels so permanent, right! Like it will last FOREVER!
Last week in Spanish class I was smack dab the middle of stage 6. I felt overwhelmed with all that I have going on with school, work, the future move, and just life in general.
So as I sat there in Spanish class with a thousand things running through my mind- the teacher announced that today we would study the "Be" verbs. For those of you not familiar with Spanish, these verbs in English translate to- "I AM", "You are", "She is", "They are", etc.
She explained that in Spanish there are two very distinctive phrases that mean "to be".
They are the words "ser" and "estar".
She briefly described the differences like this:
"We use 'ser' to talk about who or what we are." This doesn't typically change with time.
- For example-
You will basically always be these things!
"But we use 'estar' to talk about our feeling at the moment."
- For example-
"If you are sad, you aren't going to be sad forever! It's impossible, right?"
Now, I'm a big fan of Eckhart Tolle, and I've read books upon books that stress the importance of always acknowledging how you are at the moment is NOT who you really are.
This means even if you are something positive- like "happy" or "successful" or "in love" these are all fleeting. Emphasis should never be placed to heavily on these temporary states- good or bad.
But during this particular class, at this particular moment... I felt like I was hearing it for the FIRST TIME!
Not only was I being TOLD the difference, I was being taught to CHANGE vocabulary depending on which "I am" I was referring to! What a way to really "practice what you preach".
I mean, it's one thing to SAY you are keeping who you and your temporary feelings separate- but putting it into action with your language takes it to a totally new level of being.
Below is an example of our lesson for those interested:
|Our lovely Spanish teacher Ana and me!
|Dave and his Korean teacher, who just so happens to date our Spanish teacher. Cute, right?
Separating the different "I am"s is very POWERFUL, don't you think? Words are powerful. The words
I AMare the most powerful of all! Even if you don't speak Spanish, I challenge you to RE-THINK the meanings of these very important words.
I think we would all be much better if we carefully watched the words we said to ourselves. Don't you? Watch your words. They shape your reality.
I hope you all are having a wonderful start to your Fall season. I encourage you to slow down and ask yourself what it is that you really need to inwardly focus on. It isn't selfish, it's necessary, if you refuse to slow down during this transition your body will FORCE you to- this usually will manifest as a cold... ain't nobody got time for colds!
Have any of you Spanish speakers out there found such power in the "Be verbs"? What were your experiences?
Change your thoughts-
Change your words-
Live your life,
The Empowered Way
PS- If you are interested in language lessons in Busan, we really recommend our teachers!

We will 'be a better country' than RussiaApr 2, 2014 Frank Tanner
I'm sure that almost everyone agrees with the statement expressed in the letter from Scott Clement published in the March 20 issue of the Ranger about notwanting to @257;ght a war with Russia over the Crimea.
However, the last part of the last sentence in that letter clearly shows why we must do everything short of war that we possibly can to support the Ukraine in this situation.
How can we possible "be a better country than Russia" if we simply stand silently by while this happens? Sounds to me like just what Germany did to Czechoslovakia and Austria while the rest of the world just stood by and watched in the 1930s.
What will be next prize awarded to Russia or China or someone else free of all consequences while we all just stand and watch? Perhaps Mexico will take Texas back.
Just as an afterthought, l think the writer of that letter would lose his bet about the members of Congress not being able to even locate Ukraine on a map.
After all, who could ever forget Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem, "The Charge of the Light Brigade," which took place in the Crimea?

Home > Digital Library > Index of Newsletters > 2003 Vol. I (January - February) >
|Scholars from across the world came together, for the first time, in an attempt to establish the 'Date of Kurukshetra War based on astronomical data.' Undoubtedly, it was an amazing collation of information presented in a colloquium, held on January 5 and 6, 2003 at the Mythic Society, Bangalore. The colloquium was jointly organized by The Mythic Society, Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts - Southern Regional Centre and Sir Babasaheb (Umakanth Keshav) Apte Smarak Samithi Trust.
Inaugurating the two day session, Dr. Raja Ramanna, Member of Parliament and eminent nuclear scientist, emphasized that the 'best clock for dating was the sky itself and the position of stars.' He added that 'research and scientific theory should be questioned although he found that many homes and libraries hampered the progress of research by keeping ancient manuscripts to themselves.'
Dr. Kalyan Raman clarified the purpose of the
colloquium in his introductory remarks. Well-known historian, Dr.
Suryanath Kamath, in his Presidential address explained the objective as an
' exploration of the authenticity of dates using planetary software and
textual evidences containing over 150 references.' He felt that
'chronology was most important for the history of any society since history
without chronology is like a body without a skeleton.' He also gave a
detailed explanation of the development of the Mythic library and the
The other dignitaries present on the dais were Dr. M.K.L.N. Sastry - Hon. Secretary, Mythic Society, Prof. P.V. Krishna Bhat - Hon. Coordinator, IGNCA-SRC and Shri K. Narahari - Managing Trustee, Apte Trust. The opening session set the tone for the mind stirring sessions with various interpolations found in the Mahabharata. Several scholars put forth their perception and calculated derivations. Dr. S. Balakrishna (NASA, USA) proved the occurrence of 'two eclipses in (a span of) 13 days prior to Mahabharata'. Analysing the astronomical possibility of Vyasa's statement in Bhishma Parva "Amavasya occured on the 13th day. Two eclipses in a month, on the thirteenth day." he presented the data of eclipses during the period 3300 BCJ (Before the Calendar of Julian Ceaser) to 700 BCJ visible at Kuruxethra, using Lodestar Pro software. He stated the possibility of 672 eclipse pairs, ten 'thirteen day lunar first' eclipse pairs and concluded that 2559 BC eclipse pair was nearest to the text of Mahabharata.
Prof. R.N. Iyengar (I.I.Sc., Bangalore) systematically dealt with "Internal consistency of eclipses and planetary positions in Mahabharata". Verifying all double eclipses of 501-3000 B.C. and when Satur + Jupiter were near Vishaka, he concluded that 1478 B.C. was the most likely year of the war.
Dr. B.N. Narahari Achar (Dept. of Physics, University of Memphis, U.S.A.) gave a brief description of various available planetary software, a review of the works of astrophysicists Kochhar, Siddharth and astronomers, Sengupta and Srinivasa Raghavan and other astronomical references in the epic. He critically examined the limitations and the reliability of simulations and concluded that the astronomical events in the Mahabharata pointed to 3000 B.C.E. (Before Common Era)* and simulation of events to 3067 B.C.E., identical to the one given by Raghavan.
Speaking on 'The date of Mahabharata War with reference to Bhishmashtami', Dr. Kalyan Rama (Chennai) validated the ground truth of River Saraswati of Vedic times that established the historicity of the Mahabharata.
Dr. Shambhu Shastry (Franklin, USA) and Dr. Venkateswara Reddy dealt with 'Natural cycles in the Solar System and Chaturyuga Cycles.' Dr. Kalyan Raman (Chennai) validated the ground truth of River Saraswati of Vedic times that established the historicity of the Mahabharata.
Dr. Shambu Shastry (Franklin, USA) and Dr. Venkateswara Reddy dealt with 'Natural cycles in the Solar System and Chaturyuga Cycles.' Dr. Shambhu Shastry showed that the chatuyuga and manavantara schemes of Hindu chronology are directly from natural astronomical cycles and based on this, he stated, that the human race is about five million years old. He concluded that this helped demythologize the Mahabharata and Ramayana and placed them in the last descending Chaturyuga segment over a time span of not more than 6000 years.
Shri P.V. Holey (Nagpur) was of the opinion that the war began on the 13th day of November 3143 B.C. He sourced this to crucial events with planetary positions after a comparative study of astronomical dates based on nakshatra, the Julian and Gregorian systems.
On the second day, Dr. Mohan Gupta (Ujjain) dealt with Puranic and Astronomical evidences. Based on genealogical and astronomical calculations he concluded that 17th October 1952 B.C. Thursday, Marga Krsna Amavasya kali 1157 or shakapurva 2029, Julian year 2762 as the date when the Mahabharata war began. Dr. S.R. Rao based his derivation on archaeological evidence obtained from onshore and offshore excavations conducted in Dwaraka, Bet Dwarka and in the Kurukshetra region and found 1900-1700 B.C. as acceptable.
Dr. N.S. Rajaram (Bangalore) expressed a need to exercise caution while interpreting astronomicla statements and that it should take into account both the literary evolution and interpolated passages. He felt 3100m B.C. had the best astronomical support. Shri K.V. Ramakrishna Rao (Thiruvananthapuram), felt that due to periodical corrections in Indian astronomical works, changes had crept it and without the significance of the two ears - kali and saka - dates cannot be determined, Dr. M.V. Subba Rao (Secundrabad) gave astrological references of Sri Krishna and felt that the dates could be calcutated from the day of Ktrishna's birth. Shri M.V. Narasimhan (Mysore) spoke of a research methodology using the shastric and the scientific inputs. Referring to Pulakesin's inscription and comet at Nagercoil he concluded 3100 B.C. as the year of the war.
Despite the inspiring deliberations, it was observed that further resource data from varied fields was required to calibrate supportive evidence. Thus the concluding session unanimously drew a plan of action. Dr. S. Nagaraju reviewed the colloquium with regard to the two objectives set at the beginning - to establish internal consistency with respect to dates and chronology mentioned in the Mahabharata and whether it could be proved using planetary software and secondly, if a correct date of the Mahabharata could be derived from the 150 astronomical references and have a sheet anchor of chronology of pre-Buddhist India? He said that at least four papers dealt with the problem directly and clarified a non-discrepancy with respect to the dates given. This is he felt was the most important contribution of the colloquium. But a problem he sighted was, out of the one-lakh odd sholkas, to distinguish what was added at what time. In this context he suggested that more interactions might be had with people who had knowledge of geography and other related areas of study. Secondly, he felt that the dating of the Mahabharata war could not be done merely on the basis of astronomy alone. Since there are a number of texts one should find out the correct text and establish a critical edition giving all details.
Dr. R. Subramaniam in his observations also agreed that there was a need to develop a critical editions of the verses with interpretations in consensus with astronomy, history, archaeology, Sanskrit astrology and mathematics. He suggested that verifications should take into account occurrence of double eclipse, Saturn in Rohini and the use of all available software and data. Another valid point he raised was the absence of direct reference to winter solstice in the Mahabharata. Once that is available it was felt that 'everything could be nailed.'
'Where do we go from here?' Answering the self-query Dr. Kalyan Raman voiced the common desire to 'trash Western Indological work done with motivation and instead rewrite Indian history.' The fundamental task would bring to light traditional works which can be achieved in a series of colloquiums. Truth, he felt, should be perceived in terms of our national heritage and his colloquium had established the reliability of this tool.
The Chairperson, Prof. K.I. Vasu addressed the various issues discussed and surmized that the Mahabharata could be 'considered a historical document'.

BOSTON ( MainStreet) -- Today's bad economy and worse housing market are combining to create a field day for scam artists, who find easy pickings among homeowners desperate to avoid foreclosure or just save a few bucks."Any time that the economy is bad, scammers come out of the woodwork," says Katherine Hutt of the Better Business Bureau, which logs some 1.2 million complaints a year about scams and bad company practices in general. Scam artists seem to especially target senior citizens. "Many of the elderly were raised in a different time, when people were more honest than they are today," says Polyana da Costa of consumer-financial Web site Bankrate.com. "You also didn't have the Internet, which is where many of these scams originate. You go online looking for a better mortgage rate or some sort of foreclosure rescue and you end up in the wrong hands." Here's a look at common housing-related scams that da Costa and other experts warn consumers should avoid: Loan-modification scams
This scam targets people facing foreclosure, with fraudsters promising to negotiate a loan modification for them in exchange for big upfront fees. Lenders do approve such modifications these days, but the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development prohibits legitimate foreclosure-prevention counselors from charging advance fees to help you negotiate one. "If I can get one message across to borrowers, it's: 'Do not pay any upfront fees,'" da Costa says. "I've heard of so many people who've paid $5,000 to get a loan modification but who basically got nothing -- and didn't find out until months later when they lost their homes." Don't be fooled by loan modification specialists who advertise their services, have big offices or operate Web sites with official-sounding names based on real government foreclosure-prevention programs. "Scammers don't look like scammers, they look professional," da Costa says. "That's how they fool you."

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t's almost Halloween! One of two times a year when it's okay to dress like a slutty sailor–the other being Comic-Con. Last year, I dressed up as the Borg Queen and was told that she's not a dominatrix. I told the guy to use his imagination. Then I assimilated him.
Halloween is one of the biggest parties of the year, so if you're going to look easy, you might as well drink easy:
A classic cocktail with a painful name, Blood & Sand ($11) at The Atlas Room is cool and gritty with Famous Grouse Scotch whiskey, vermouth, Cherry Heering and fresh orange juice. Shaken and served with an orange zest. 1015 H Street NE, Washington, DC. 202.388.4020.
If your ears are ringing, it might be because Bull Dog Gin, dry and sweet vermouth, a dash of bitters and orange juice make up a powerful shot called "Satan's Whisper" ($5) at Asia Nine. 915 E Street NW, Washington, DC. 202.629.4355.
On October 31, the devil is alive and well from 5:00-7:30 pm at J&G Steakhouse, with $5 El Diablos–Lunazul Silver tequila, crème de cassis and ginger beer, garnished with a lime wheel. 515 15th Street NW Washington, DC. 202.661.2440.
Bourbon Steak channels Pink Floyd with the Dark Side of the Moon ($14), a creamy blend of sweet Armagnac, Benedictine, dark crème de cacao and half-n-half. Four Seasons Hotel at 2800 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC. 202.944.2026.
On Halloween night, Restaurant Eve brings back the serial Dexter ($13) a tangy mix of blood oranges, tangelos, pomegranates, Molasses Averna, and 42 Below Vodka. 110 South Pitt Street, Alexandria, VA. 703.706.0450.

Impact of a Novel Patient Educational Booklet on Colonoscopy Quality
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Background: Achievement of colonoscopy outcomes depends on high-quality bowel preparation by patients; yet inadequate preparation is common.
Objective: To develop and test an educational booklet to improve bowel preparation quality.
Design: "Before-and-after" study followed by randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Veteran Affairs medical center.
Patients: Patients undergoing outpatient colonoscopy
Measurements: The investigators first performed cognitive interviews to identify knowledge and belief barriers to high-quality colonoscopy preparation. The investigators then created a patient educational booklet addressing patient barriers to improve preparatory behaviors. The investigators tested the booklet in 2 sequential studies: (1) controlled "before-and-after" study in patients undergoing colonoscopy during 2 consecutive months: 1 without and 1 with the booklet; (2) randomized controlled trial. The outcome in both studies was bowel preparation quality measured on a 6-point Likert scale (>5="good"). In each study the investigators compared the proportion achieving a "good" preparation between groups and performed logistic regression to measure the effect of the booklet on preparation quality while adjusting for the purgative received.
Limitations: Unknown impact on polyp yield and cancer reduction.

Last-second shot bounces in for KW to down Riverton girlsFeb 24, 2014 By Craig Blumenshine, Staff Writer
Despite woeful shooting and committing 21 turnovers, the Riverton Lady Wolverines managed to keep Saturday's Class 4-A league battle against the Casper Kelly Walsh Lady Trojans close until the bitter end.
But KW's Kristen Franke, heavily guarded and facing away from the basket on the right side after Riverton defended the final possession well, threw up a hopeless-looking 8-foot shot that rolled around the rim, looked like it was going to roll out, but finally dropped in with no time on the clock to give KW a 45-43 win over Riverton.
The loss was critical for Riverton (9-12, 3-5 Class 4-A West). A win would have kept Riverton in contention for a second-place league finish. Now, Riverton will hope to finish no worse than third, and will likely have to play a first-round state-tournament play-in game at their regional tournament.
"I love these kids to death. But I would love it if they would make their layups and minimize turnovers," a frustrated Riverton head coach Ron Porter said after Saturday's game.
The Wolverines will try to bounce back against Green River Tuesday evening at Wolverine Gym. Varsity girls game time is set for 5 p.m.
Kiley Ridgway led all scorers with 14 points, and Savannah Salisbury sank three 3-point shots and added two free throws to end with 11.
Emily Erdahl scored 11 for Kelly Walsh (7-11, 4-5 Class 4-A West), and Kathy Nganga added 10.
Rverton fell behind by six early in the third quarter but stayed in the game despite struggling with KW's trapping press. To its credit, Riverton was also able to cause some turnovers, and Deni Lou Nicholls hit two free throws at the end of the third quarter to put Riverton up 35-31.
The Lady Torjans tied the game at 37-37 with just under five minutes left to play, and neither team managed more than a two-point lead the rest of the way.
The game looked like it was going to overtime when Lady Wolverine Jensyn Pettit calmly sank two free throws with 16 seconds on the clock, but Franke's prayer at the buzzer doused Riverton's hopes.
"We shouldn't win if we don't deserve to win," Porter said.
Casper Kelly Walsh 15 8 8 14 -- 45

I'm young (27) and have a lot of weight to lose. I know this procedure is for life and I'm wondering what the chances are that I'll need to get the bypass revised or have a Lap Band later in life? Can one gastric bypass last me forever if I follow the "rules" or is it inevitable that my pouch will expand over time and I'll need to get it revised?
What Are the Chances That I'll Need a Gastric Bypass Revision?

Revision for failure after gastric bypass
{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
About 25 - 30 % of patients will regain some of their weight after gastric bypass surgery long term. We now have options to help those patients. The two procedures we use for revision is Lap-Band over your gastric bypass and endoscopic revision of your gastric pouch called the ROSE procedure. it is important to find a surgeon like myself that is very experienced in revision surgery when seeking these options.

The Sunday edition of the New York Times ran a very candid cover story about a carefully orchestrated Pentagon propaganda campaign masquerading as objective journalism in the form of military analysts appearing on Fox News, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, and the New York Times. The propaganda campaign sought, not only to manipulate public perception of U.S. imperial war making in Iraq, the "War on Terror," human rights abuses and torture in Guantánamo Bay, but also to vie for military contracts in on-air "news" reports.
The Sunday edition of the New York Times ran a very candid cover story about a carefully orchestrated Pentagon propaganda campaign masquerading as objective journalism in the form of military analysts appearing on Fox News, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, and the New York Times. The propaganda campaign sought, not only to manipulate public perception of U.S. imperial war making in Iraq, the "War on Terror," human rights abuses and torture in Guantánamo Bay, but also to vie for military contracts in on-air "news" reports.
The story, written by David Barstow and titled "Behind TV Analysts, Pentagon's Hidden Hand" says the Pentagon "…effort, which began with the buildup to the Iraq war and continues to this day, has sought to exploit ideological and military allegiances, and also a powerful financial dynamic: Most of the analysts have ties to military contractors vested in the very war policies they are asked to assess on air."
The article is well researched and worth reading, however, most regular users of Z will notice that Left analysts have been saying what the Times has decided was a cover story, forever, and so will be less surprised by the articles information. It's also not surprising that no one will be off to storm Fox, CNN, or the other "news" media networks. Why? Because everyone already knows and expects elites to use their control over access and information to, as the Times puts it, "transform the analysts into a kind of media Trojan horse," an "instrument intended to shape terrorism coverage from inside the major TV and radio networks." Retired Green Beret and former Fox News analyst Robert S. Bevelacqua described the propaganda effort bluntly, "It was them saying, 'We need to stick our hands up your back and move your mouth for you.' "
However, it's more than simply a few manipulative elite behaving in poor fashion, but an institutionalized practice—"a coherent, active policy."
The Times sued the Defense Department gaining access to 8,000 pages of e-mail messages, transcripts, and records that the Times says reveals a "symbiotic relationship where the usual dividing lines between government and journalism have been obliterated."
"Internal Pentagon documents repeatedly refer to the military analysts as 'message force multipliers' or 'surrogates' who could be counted on to deliver administration 'themes and messages' to millions of Americans 'in the form of their own opinions.'"
The report is damning and the audacity of senior Pentagon officials shine through when the Times says that records repeatedly show the administration enlisted analysts as a "rapid reaction force" to counter critical coverage, including by the Pentagon's own correspondents! An example is given where news coverage revealed troops in Iraq dying because of inadequate body armor and a Pentagon official wrote to his colleagues "I think our analysts—properly armed—can push back in that arena."
The Times manages to have its own spin on various aspects of the story, presumably to portray itself as a liberal bastion of critical inquiry. For instance there is repeated use of language in sentences and phrases designed to steer readers away from reality. For example, this sentence:
"With a majority of Americans calling the war a mistake despite all administration attempts to sway public opinion, the Pentagon has focused in the last couple of years on cultivating in particular military analysts frequently seen and heard in conservative news outlets, records and interviews show."
And this sentence:
"Some of these analysts were on the mission to Cuba on June 24, 2005—the first of six such Guantánamo trips—which was designed to mobilize analysts against the growing perception of Guantánamo as an international symbol of inhumane treatment."
The two phrases, one in each sentence respectively, "calling the war a mistake" and "growing perception," avoid that there were reasons given by the Bush administration for going to war, and there are international standards designed to ensure that people are treated with a standard of human dignity, guilty or not, of a crime, and that in the first instance, the reasons the administration gave for the necessity of going to war were wrong, and in the second, the growing perception of prisoners treatment as inhumane at Guantánamo is related to the international standards. These are called "facts" and the Time's use of language is very crafty in its avoidance of these inconveniences.
However, still, the article is very informative noting that over time "the Pentagon recruited more than 75 retired officers,"…"that the largest contingent was affiliated with Fox News, followed by NBC and CNN, the other networks with 24-hour cable outlets." The Times continues saying analysts from CBS and ABC were included while noting other mediums in which the "analysts" proved "influential."
The Times fails to note how extensive its own reliance on the so-called "military analysts" was for its own reporting, noting in a single sentence on page four of the on-line version of the report, "At least nine of them have written op-ed articles for The Times." No other indication is mentioned.
Far from an extensive assessment, a search for the phrase "military analysts" in the Times online archive from September 11, 2001 to April 22, 2008 yields 174 results, the first appearing September 14, 2001. The results listed are all separate articles not how many different "military analysts" were sourced in each article. Searching without quotes i.e. military analysts instead of "military analysts" yields 3,111 results. Searching with quotes is more accurate.
Searching the archive from March 20, 2003, the day the U.S. launched cruise missiles into Iraq beginning its invasion and also around the time the propaganda campaing is reported to have begun, to April 22, 2008 yields 126 results. As above, these results do not indicate number of different sources per article. Searching without quotes i.e. military analysts instead of "military analysts" yields 2,247 results.
Continuing further in the article, you'll get to read how the architects of this propaganda delivery system "marveled" at how the "analysts" parroted the Pentagon's message "verbatim" as if it were their own, "saying it over and over and over."
The report even provides recent propaganda examples that, according to the Times, inside the Pentagon and White House, were viewed as "a masterpiece in the management of perceptions."
Edward Bernays would be proud and Pentagon propagandists would probably be flattered, wallowing in delusions of their right to dominate the world.

Obama Reduces Funding for Counterterror Programs by Nearly $300 Million
Which side the President is on couldn't be clearer. What is inexplicable is why the Republicans aren't giving him a huge fight about this, and why Chuck Schumer, of all people, is the only one in his own party to call him out. The Party of Treason.
"Schumer slams Obama budget cuts to anti-terror funds," Associated Press, February 14, 2016:
NEW YORK (AP) — Sen. Charles Schumer is slamming a White House proposal that would reduce funding for counterterrorism programs across the country by nearly $300 million.
The New York Democrat is pushing President Barack Obama to reconsider the cuts.
Schumer notes that the cuts to the Urban Area Security Initiative were included in the proposed 2017 budget released last week by the White House. The initiative helps fund programs in cities across the U.S. to prevent extremist attacks, or respond to and recover from them. The proposed budget would cut the funding from $600 million to $330 million.
"These proposed cuts are ill-advised and ill-timed and they must be reversed. End of story," Schumer said in a statement to The Associated Press. "In light of recent attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and the vow by our extremist enemies to launch more attacks on our shores, it makes no sense to propose cuts to vital terror-prevention programs like UASI."
Schumer, who is expected to hold a news conference Sunday to decry the cuts, said the program is necessary to adequately fund counterterrorism programs in high-density urban areas like New York City.
"New York City remains terror target number one and the NYPD relies on these programs to keep us safe," he said….
It's Geller's tell all, her story - and it's every story.
It's what happens when you stand for freedom today.
The story of being hunted in America. Get it, read it, share it. It's mindblowing. Buy it. Now. Here.

Please help!
ive posted this on here before and no one seems to be able to answer me. i need to get my magazine tube off of my mossberg 500. the spring keeps jamming and i want to get it apart to take a look at it. ive tried every thing to try to unscrew this damned thing, still no luck. i was soo frustrated i decided to take the bast*rd to a local gunsmith. heard good things about him so i was optimistic. i dont know if it was because i am a 20 yr old kid who came into his shop in a ski jacket and he didnt like my look, or something. but he ripped me off. maybe if i came in with my carhart overalls and grew out my beard he would have actually tried. he didnt believe me when i said it was stuck. just looked at me with disgust like i was a moron. regretfully i left it there to be worked on. so when i got there to pick it up he said he took it apart and cleaned it and it was fine. i was in a rush so i didnt check it but after i got home i cycled through only 5 shells and it got jammed again. i looked at it, tube still stuck on he had only dripped oil down into it and gave it back to me after charging me $10, which is a lot for a college kid who lives off that much a week. like i didnt try to oil it 100times before?? needless to say i was heated. i will never take anything to be worked on by anyone ever again.
so to the point...any ideas how i can take it off?

Tool to use...
I also suggest several minutes to several days with PB Blaster sprayed on the area both inside the receiver and from front...
Available at any auto parts house... 2-3 times the price of WD-40 but a tiny burst is plenty and will last most folks longer then the propellant at which time I pierce can and drain into glass jar...
a light tapping with soft white rubber mallet to receiver, sides of mag tube and from front end of tube to jostle and "ring" the metal allowing the PB to soak in...
If this fails to work I would put the receiver/mag tube in oven at 250-300 degrees, pull out and "shock" cool the tube to shrink it...
If all else fails a new tube can be bought and old one cut down and "peeled" out. But that is most risky and last ditch effort!
Once out use anti seize.
Also available at the auto parts house. and the bottle shown in my link will last most shade tree mechanics a lifetime so 5 lifetimes for most gun owners...
PM me if you need and I will call you and discuss in person if needed.

Yeeesssssssir, we did it again! One more tour in the books. We hit the road running. My tour started a few days before Big Ron and the RCSS family of white Sean (I'm black Shawn) and Boss / Abercrombie model Brendan . I started in Denmark guest posing at the Loaded cup with Hide and Dana Linn Bailey. 2 days of posing and a seminar with some awesome fans. Weather was freezing from day one but kept on moving. Next leg of the tour for me was hopping on a flight to Amsterdam - land of the Red Light District, where you can smoke weed in a store but not cigarettes (not my cup of tea) I pass on all. When I landed in Amsterdam temperature was -1 degree. Forgot my damn winter jacket in the states. 3 days of visiting Vitamins and More nutrition stores and signing autographs in the cold. This was no easy task but life as a pro is not all about getting on stage and flexing.
Was up at crack of dawn when my car came to pick me up at 4am to drive me to meet up with the Big Nasty. Three hours later I met up with the gang and I am telling you it was freaking freezing at the border or Amsterdam and Germany 0 degree. Yeah buddy. I Am saying this the best way I can describe this, Ronnie is THE KING wherever he goes. People line up by the thousands to see the king. Sometimes there were no lines at all, just people hovering over us at the stores. We hit two stores a day. Sometimes 2hrs apart. It was great to see the Ronnie Coleman Signature Series products on shelves and people lining up to purchase and get an autograph. Side note, you want your products to sell and build trust with the customer have 2 athletes like the King and myself in your store. If you have us they will come and they will buy. We hit the road and worked our way from the border of Amsterdam to Cologne. We saw it all…people doing anything to keep us in their store. At one stop as we were leaving out the door we were asked to sign about 50 t-shirts. (which of course we did) We had a signing in a room the size of Derek's desk with a tv station and 4 camera guys. Our up and coming competitor/Boss/Abercrombie model Brendan had to tell them we needed to hit the road.
One spot we had a live DJ in a building that still had Christmas, Halloween and Easter deco still up ( we found a few playing cards from 1932). This was the best stop for sure. We had an older photographer go on the floor over the wall… every single angle trying to take pictures. This guy was hardcore! My fav was the fat guy with the biggest mouth that wouldn't shut the hell up! He had his tv mic in our face every sec he got. Every time someone wanted to take a picture his hand with the mic was in the shot and the best was between him and the camera guy instead of interviewing us they were interviewing themselves the whole time.
We would go to dinner or lunch and ended up staying and extra hour ..., they love Ronnie .. We had a car show at one stop they made the mistake of letting Big Ron rev the engine. Brendan and I thought the engine was going to blow! I though the car was going to take off. A few stops later we couldn't even get these guys to make a line. Everyone wanted to get their pictures taken first. What am trying to say is…We had a f@#king blast! Let's do it again.
Oh and we need to please print more autograph cards because we ran out!
We were hitting the gym every night. Sometimes at 9pm sometimes at midnight. We fit it in wherever we were. Special Thanks to McFit. For a week and a half that was our home base gym all over Germany.
Can't wait to tell you guys about FIBO next.

Jeb Bush will stay neutral in Florida primary
Jeb Bush will not endorse a candidate before Florida's presidential primary, his spokeswoman tells the Buzz tonight.
"He is staying neutral," Jaryn Emhof said.
After Gingrich's win in South Carolina tonight there was a flurry of Twitter speculation that Bush would endorse Romney. CNN's John King said he had sources telling him Romney had it "wrapped up."
Not true, says Emhof.
For the record, Sen. Marco Rubio has also said he will stay on the sidelines until a nominee is picked.

Skulk into a secure compound and eliminate a high-profile target, then make it out alive. The formula is nothing new, but imagine if Assassin's Creed hero Ezio could teleport. Or stop time. Classic stealth killers certainly seem superhuman, but they're traditionally bound by the laws of physics—until now.
Thanks to a mysterious benefactor, Corvo Atano—the hero of Arkane Studios' October release Dishonored—develops a range of supernatural skills that complement his more conventional methods. Why track sentry movements when you can possess a sewer rat and slip past unnoticed? Why navigate a cityscape when you can teleport from A to B with ease?
The game's creative directors are well versed in overpowered heroes: As Arkane's president, Raphael Colantonio worked on BioShock 2, while Harvey Smith was a lead designer alongside legend Warren Spector on the original Deus Ex. For Dishonored, the duo not only turned a snooper into a superman ("I've never put a stop-time power in a game that matters so much," Smith says) but they also gave him an array of gadgets that includes sleep darts and razor-wire trip mines.
Despite his extensive arsenal, though, Corvo is more than just a stone killer. "Revenge is the tone," Colantonio says, "but the motive is to set things right." And to do that, he'll flee the scene with more style than anyone else in videogames.

Twin names?
The other day I was thinking about Bible names. So many of my favorites are overused (David, Daniel, Mark), but there are some really cool, underused ones. Right now I'm really liking these two!
"Drum roll please!" *bududududududududududu*
Jabez and Boaz!
The Z endings make them super cool, and they go together without being too "matchy". They're both great people in the Bible too (See 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, and the book of Ruth)!
And think of the nicknames! If you live in the South, you could totally call them Jeb and Bo =) Can you think of any other NNs?
Do you think they're too "weird"? Theoretically, almost every name is usable compared to the celebrity names, but for a real person growing up with these names, would they seem TOO out of the ordinary?
October 22nd, 2013 02:48 PM #3
I don't like children to have the same ending if possible and that's especially true for twins. Twins are often thought of as a UNIT rather than two separate INDIVIDUALS so naming twins isn't any different from naming siblings (eg. unique names that are complementary). Jabez and Boaz are two of the more unusual Biblical names but I wouldn't personally use them together. Jeb and Bo are cute nn's.All the best,

TEL AVIV (Jan. 17)
Premier Levi Eshkol reiterated that "any attempt to prevent Israel from using its right to part of the Jordan River waters will be regarded as an encroachment of our borders."
The Premier made the statement at a luncheon of the Israel Foreign Press Association. He referred to the plan drawn up by Eric Johnston as a special envoy of then President Eisenhower for sharing of the River which was accepted at the technical level by both sides and rejected at the political level by the Arabs. It called for Israel to receive about 40 per cent and the Arab states to get the balance.
The Premier replied to questions about threats made by Arab premiers at the Cairo conference last week and voiced the hope that the threats would not be implemented. But if they are, he added, "these waters are like blood in our veins and we shall act accordingly." Israel's defense forces, he stressed, will remain in a state of preparedness to foil any attempt to damage the huge water carrier project. He said the Israel defense Force would similarly remain alert to any attempt to undermine Israel's sovereignty.
Asked whether he thought the United States would come to Israel's aid if Israel were attacked, the Premier said he believed in the United States assurances given him when he visited the United States last year. He said, in reply to other questions, that Israel would welcome a disarmament agreement in the Middle East if it included mutual inspection.
He said Israel would continue to seek to improve relations with Russia on the condition that Russia honored Israel's sovereignty and honored agreements to discontinue shipment of arms to Arab countries. He indicated that he knew of rumors that American scientists were working on weapons in Cairo and said that even if this were true, it was surely against United States policy.
Israel has dozens of friends, he said in replying to a question as to whether Israel could rely on aid from foreign nations, but ultimately Israel would have to rely on its own forces as a deterrent power, he emphasized.
Commenting on the deadlock at the recently concluded 26th World Zionist. Congress, when a struggle over Revisionist demands for representation on the Jewish Agency executive forced adjournment of the Congress without election of a new executive, the Premier said the executive was based on a coalition. He said exclusion of the Revisionists from the executive need not turn them away from Zionist activity within the framework of the Zionist movement.
It was learned here today that Israel plans to place to place import restrictions on a number of overseas firms which have succumbed to Arab boycott pressure, Purchases from these firms will require prior approval. The firms include two in West Germany, two in Japan, Holland's Phillips Company, Goodyear of the United States and Pye of Britain.

AHCRA Priorities
Election 2016
In the lead up to the Federal election, AHCRA has released a series of media and policy statements on key health issues. AHCRA will continue to lobby political parties to commit to health policies that will deliver a better and fairer health system.
In particular, AHCRA will be advocating for a greater focus on prevention and primary care, consumer participation and action to meet the needs of identified vulnerable population groups, including people living in rural and remote areas and the disadvantaged Indigenous population. Mental and dental care will be addressed as well as care for the physically and intellectually impaired population.
We will highlight the drawbacks of the fee-for-service model, including its impact in reducing equity and constraining innovation. AHCRA will also address other issues that warrant reform, including the mal-distribution of services and health professionals, out-of-pocket expenses for consumers and workforce innovation and reform.
Along with such initiatives AHCRA supports continuing review of ways in which efficiencies can be realised, including areas of ineffective expenditure where funding could be redirected to better effect. This waste may arise from a range of sources, including failures of care delivery; failures of care coordination; overtreatment; administrative complexity; pricing failures; and fraud and abuse.
Priority areas
Among the priorities that AHCRA has for reform are:
- Building a consumer-centred health system
- Continue Closing the Gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians
- Strengthening primary health care and prevention as core elements of the health system
- More effective prevention of ill-health and promotion of well-being by consideration of the social determinants of health
Building a consumer-centred health system
The current health system has been developed to suit professional and organisational needs, not those of consumers. Re-orienting the health system to reflect the needs and priorities of the community will result in a more efficient health system which delivers better health outcomes for all.
This should include strengthening the requirements for health services to involve consumers in decision-making and move towards more consumer-centred care; funding research which develops the notion of consumer-centred care and more effective consumer participation; developing mechanisms for stronger citizen engagement in discussing/guiding policies for the health system; and increasing the community's health literacy, especially within more disadvantaged populations.
Continue Closing the Gap
Indigenous health is the number one health issue facing Australia and continued investment in this must continue. Indigenous people have significantly poorer health, on average, and a much lower life expectancy than the non-Indigenous population.
Indigenous people experience higher incidence rates for many chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. In almost all areas, the determinants of health are poorer for Indigenous people with inferior education outcomes, higher rates of unemployment, greater poverty, homelessness and psychological stress with the more common outcomes of death from accidents or from suicide.
Health care based on standard Australian biomedical models of medicine is useful in identifying and reducing disease and is a necessity in all societies. However it does not adequately take into account the population-wide approach that is important for indigenous peoples. A population-wide approach is needed that incorporates the social determinants of health and empowers people to take control of their own lives and improve their health through culturally appropriate mechanisms.
Community- controlled health services are thus vital in reducing the 'health gap' by providing person-centred and to culturally relevant care which includes both a biomedical and preventative health focus. To do this requires more consistent and assured long-term funding to enable effective planning and capacity development that will deliver the best possible outcomes.
Strengthening primary health care and prevention
AHCRA believes that future Australian health care will need to be more heavily focussed on prevention and early intervention. Primary Health Care is seen to be a core principle of an effective health system that will reduce the burden for consumers/families while keeping pressure off hospitals to deal with later stage and more serious (and often expensive) conditions.
The cost of health care, especially acute health care, is rising at well over the inflation rate annually. This expenditure growth will place great stress on the health budgets of the states and territories and the federal government.
AHCRA believes a key solution is for Australians to become much better at preventing ill-health and promoting wellness, identifying and treating it early, and managing ongoing conditions in community settings.
There are more efficient options than allowing poor health conditions to develop that result in increasing episodes of expensive hospital care.
Among the measures needed are better infrastructure to facilitate multidisciplinary integrated services, especially in rural/remote settings. This involves better planning to create an integrated system that mobilises greater multidisciplinary care (best practice) with more flexible use of the available workforce in a diversity of roles.
More effective prevention of ill-health and promotion of well-being by consideration of the social determinants of health
To realise optimal health outcomes requires change that recognises the social determinants of health. These are the underlying social, environmental and ecological factors that research shows are closely associated with higher rates of ill-health. These factors must be addressed so that Australians' health overall is enhanced, not damaged.
Strategies that have already shown substantial benefits include national policies on plain tobacco packaging. Other measures that promote healthy lifestyles should be explored such as health literacy, and access and equity considerations in education, housing, food, early childhood development, social inclusion and employment.

my son had MOHS surgery on a mole. i was curious if this can be done if it is just suspicious or does it have to be cancerous to do this procedure?
Do Doctors Use MOHS Surgery for Moles That Are Suspicious or is It Just for Cancerous Skin?
Doctor Answers 3
Mohs is for skin cancers only
Mohs is used for removing skin cancers, primarily aggressive skin cancers, like basal cells, recurring squamous cells, and some melanoma. It is used in areas that don't have a lot of skin to give, i.e., the face, nose, ears, genital area, hands, etc. Because on the body (like the trunk) you can just take a larger portion of skin out and suture it closed. Mohs is used in areas where we need to retain as much skin as possible and make sure the margins of the removed skin is clear. I would believe that your son did not have a mole (a nevus), but he had a cancer which looked like a mole to you. However, I would hope a biopsy was done, read by a dermapathologist who confirmed the cancerous tissue, and then the Mohs procedure was performed. Otherwise, something seems off.
Mohs for moles
Since Mohs surgery is intended for clearing biopsy proven skin cancers, it would not be a good treatment option for a lesion that has not been thoroughly evaluated by a dermatopathologist. Mohs surgery uses what is called "en-face" margin exam which allows the Mohs surgeon to evaluate a lesion from the bottom up and outside in. Moles need to be examined by traditional "breadloaf" sectioning which allows the pathologist see the entire lesion from top to bottom.
Mohs is for skin cancer
Mohs micrographic surgery is for clearance of skin cancers (i.e basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, sometimes melanoma in situ, and other rare skin cancers). Using it for a mole is not an appropriate use of the procedure, and insurance would not cover it.

Inherited Wealth
"Jens Beckert has produced a fascinating and admirable work. . . . Beckert offers a number of interesting ideas. He goes over the important debates and the writers on inheritance law and thus contributes to intellectual history. . . . He has a methodology for exploring debates, content analysis, that is worthy of attention because it can be obviously used in a vast number of American studies of ideology--indeed, a formulation that I think is particularly apropos to the Civil War era. . . . The interpretations are sound, the use of theory wise, the methodology instructive, and the information provocative. For individuals in legal history, political history, and transatlantic studies, this book comes with the highest recommendation."--James Huston, Journal of Social History
"This excellent book is the first major comparative exploration of inheritance law as it pertains to the social sciences that I know of. Marked throughout by the author's erudition on the subject, its analysis is framed in sociological terms, but the main chapters can be read without any knowledge of sociology. Indeed, they contain much that will prove extremely useful for historians, political scientists, economists, and others, and which is hard to find elsewhere."--Richard Swedberg, Cornell University
"Inherited Wealth is a fine piece of scholarship, worth reading from beginning to end. We learn much in this book. First and foremost, we learn the guiding principles of inheritance law in three very influential countries. In a highly readable manner, Jens Beckert presents a very complex topic that has, until now, been accessible only to legal scholars."--Juan Díez Medrano, Universidad de Barcelona and Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals (IBEI)
