Gotthard Lip Service | Nuclear Blast |
In an interesting move, Swiss rockers Gotthard signed with Nuclear Blast – an almost pure metal label – and proclaimed a move to a heavier direction.
Line-up changes, management and record label moves all conspired to put the heat on the band to deliver a great album, otherwise it could prove to be the last of their long, illustrious career. So the result? Well, the guys didn't really change their style to a heavier sound, but what they have done is returned to the hard rocking approach held on the first few albums, which should prove to be a fan pleasing move. And changes in personnel aside, this sounds like a classic Gotthard album – no more, no less. The songwriting remains at the high standard set over previous releases and the familiarity in the usual raspy vocals will instantly put fans at ease. What is pleasing is the tempo of the record. The first three tracks simply rock. Vocalist Steve Lee is in fine form, again sounding like a cross between Michael Bormann and Cinderella's Tom Keifer. All We Are is a steaming anthem to kick off the album, Dream On is commercial rock at its best and the single Lift U Up has all the ingredients of a classic hands- in-the-air pop/metal anthem. Bon Jovi would do well to take note of how these guys have taken the formula for commercial hard rock from them and improved on it, while the former struggle to reclaim their anthemic roots. Of course all Gotthard albums must contain ballads and Everything I Want is a typical story of love lost and won, set to be sung to an audience of lighter holding fans in the months ahead. Thankfully the tempo of the album isn't killed by a switch to mid-tempo tracks or more ballads. Cupid Arrow gets things cranked again - in that commercial friendly manner. I Wonder is a little darker and tougher and changes the pace nicely, especially with a very melodic chorus. I've Seen An Angel Cry is the next ballad and is well positioned within the album. Stay For The Night sounds like classic Storm with Kevin Chalfant, but with the added thump of a heavier rhythm section - a great uptempo pop-rocker. Anytime Anywhere is yet another catchy and classy rocker with a gritty and dramatic feel. Another couple of uptempo rockers follow, making this one of the band's rockiest affairs. This is where things should have been called to a halt. A great album to this point, it now continues on two tracks to many. The addition of Nothing Left At All and And Then Goodbye is a detriment to the album as a whole. These two ballads (the last solely acoustic) ensure that the album ends on a slow note. Better would it have been to re-position Nothing Left At All and drop And Then Goodbye completely for a tight 3 ballad 50 minute rock album.

What can I say. This album is amazing, not one bad song on it. I saw Gotthard at Rock City in Nottingham at Firefest this year and they were absolutely amazing, totally stole the show in my opinion, and now I'm hooked. Fantastic!!
Rating: 100
Gotthard is the best!!!! And Lipservice is one of their best CDs!!
Rating: 100
What a brilliant heavy rock album...PURE CLASS!! This should have got 99 or 100 score, not 92. STEVE LEE has to be one of the BEST singers in ROCK along with JORN LANDE. GOTTHARD should be HUGE!!!!!
Rating: 100
Best rock album I've heard for many many years. They were superb live too.
Rating: 100
This is one for the books,kids! Discovered this band 2-3 years ago and have bought everything by them. After switching gears to a more melodic approach with 'G'(their 3rd cd),they have released nothing but extremely fantastic albums! Possibly thee most reliable band on the planet! Some of their work is a bit more 'mainstream' melody-wise,but if that doesn't turn you off,all their stuff is worth havving. and this new cd,'Lipservice'? Possibly their very best yet! (I lean towards 'G' and 'Open',but it's so close that it doesn';t even matter!) This cd will hopefully elevate them to where they belong-absolutely on TOP of the rock heap. Damn shame they're relatively unknown here in the States,as they'd be HUGE here. By the way,for those who don't know-the band takes it's name from the tallest Swiss Alp-pronounced 'Gottard'.Long may they rock!
Rating: 99
I'll keep it short. I have over a collection of over 500 'Rock CD's. I had never heard of Gottard b4 Lip Service. This band has the sound and songs and deserves to be as popular as Bon Jovi.
This CD makes it into my all time top 10.
Rating: 92
Brilliant! This is what this band should sound like. Great traditional commercial hard rock. Gotthard seem to have an neverending well of good songs as the bonus track "Can't Stop" is easily one of the best tracks on the disc. Add to that the two bonus tracks on the "Anytime, Anywhere" EP, which are two outstanding songs too.
There are not enough of this kind of commercial hard rock nowadays. Just like TNT's 2004 effort "My Religion", Gotthard balances so perfectly the classic hard rock with that commercial feel. Exactly what more bands should take note of (Bon Jovi?).
One of the top three albums of the year (2005).
Best tracks: Cupid Arrow, Said & Done, I Wonder, Anytime Anywhere and Lift U Up (+ the bonus track Can't Stop).
Rating: 80
Excellent melodic Hard Rock album. "Lift U Up" is killer. 5 or 6 great melodic songs. I've heard the sound bites from human Zoo and this albums shits on it.
Rating: 95
Gotthard surprized me 2005. I have never been a fan of them, but now they have realeased a melodicrock top record. Its a must buy.
Rating: 100
I knew very little about Gotthard other than hearing a bit on ARFM. Our singer bought this and told us how good it is. He ain't wrong, in my own little world, this is the best rock album for 15 years or more. Can't wait to see them live.
I Wonder & Anytime Anywhere are absolute classics and I have no problem with a band wanting to include some ballads if they are good enough - and these are - "Seen An Angel Cry Tonight" is gorgeous.
Had the acoustic bits been in the middle they'd have broke the ambience, so they are at the end if you want to finish the album after 13 or 14 songs, it's up to you. There is quantity and quality here in abundance.
There are odd bits of "sounds like" with the odd Toby Jepson vocal line, a bit of Yngwie guitar in one song and some wonderful old school riffs played in a more modern way. Imagine Danny Vaughn singing his songs with Uriah Heep backing him, or at times Toby Jepson with UFO, sort of late 80s rock with a heart from days before. Love It !
Rating: 90
90 is a conservative number for this album because it is what I have been wanting to hear for a long time. After being very disappointed with Open, I balked at buying more Gotthard cds because I have to get them as imports. I don't want to spend $30 on a cd that might only be average. After only one play of this cd, it brings me back to the days of Dial Hard and G. This CD is a must for anyone who likes melodic rock, especially with an edge. Furthermore, maybe Def Leppard should get Gotthard to produce their cds for them. Maybe they could find their balls again.
Rating: 90
So far this is my number 1 album of the year. I had never heard Gotthard before and was pleasantly surprised. They remind me of Adrian Gale, good melodies, memorable songs, upfront guitars. I look forward to seeing the band in a couple of weeks time at Bradford.
Rating: 98
Ok, this may be their finest hour, although the last few tracks could've been replaced by one of those bonus tracks or the campfire version of Lift U Up.
Cupid's Arrow was the cd highlight for me.
Rating: 95
I really love this album, one of the best I've bought all year.The songs are really catchy & cleverly written.I find certain songs still swimming around in my head long time after listening to them. This is the type of release that got me hooked on hard rock in the first place.Steve Lee's voice at times reminds me of Robyn Macauley from his MSG days, which is a good thing.Being a relatively new convert to Gotthard (long time Krokus fan) just would love to know the proper pronunciation of the band name! Fully recommend this album to anyone.Stand out songs are "Lift U up" & " I wonder", but really, all the songs are great!!
Rating: 90
I just got into these guys, and they ROCK!! Everyone who hears this wants it! Really love the sound which is top notch, and the vocals. I highly recommend this to anyone who wasnts a great party disc that will have people boppin' without even knowing who they are!! Just get ready to say Gotthard all night!
Rating: 95
This must be Gotthard's most consistent and best album ever. I kept of following the band and buying their record but sort of lost interest in their music as I thought they were becoming a bit too "Bryan Adamesque". "Lipservice" is a masterpiece. Brilliant songwriting. Steve Lee is one of the greatest rock singer of all time. Gotthard is the only thing that makes me proud to be Swiss !
Rating: 100
GOTTHARD rules!!!! ROCKs any city off the ground!
Rating: 90
Simply the most consistent rock band on the planet. The great thing about the latest release is that it grows on you. Pity the do not have the same recognition here in the UK that they get in Europe. If you havent heard this band yet, do yourself a favour and purchase this c.d.

this is the greatest record i have listened to since "the wall" steve lee is the best vocalist since freddie mercury, and leo leoni is bordering on ritchie blackmore territory! what an amazing phenomenal record. my girl loves to pump to this lp, and let me tell you, she's getting pumped tons!!! "i'm alive" is this generations' "stairway to heaven". journey... listen to this record, and then never play live again... seriously. this is rock at it's finest. gotta go pump again!!
Rating: 95
What an excellent and surprizing CD! I was not familiar with Gotthard before Lip Service, and was greatly surprized with how good this band is. Lip Service is an excellent CD. If Bon Jovi had the guts to put out a real rock record, this is how it should sound. Too bad no one in the U.S. really knows this band. They need to come state side. They will be Huge over here!
Rating: 95
This is absolutely brilliant! It is easily the best hard rock album I've heard in ages. Ok, it isn't at all original, the chord sequences are nothing new, but it's just so damned irresistible...HUGE hooks, GREAT vocals and MASSIVE production (especially the guitars which sound incredibly full and kick ass). Just go out and buy it!!!
Rating: 95
As always, PURE CLASS !!!
Buy Buy Buy Buy !!!
Rating: 97
Speaking as a late discoverer of this band, (hey we can't all hear everything by everyone like our friend Andrew there!) all I can say is WOW!!! these guys are seriously smokin'!!! Lift U Up, Dream On, Everything I Want, Stay For The Night, Said And Done and Can't Stop... the potential mega-hits just keep coming on this cd. Everything sounds so fresh on this release I just keep popping this into every disc player I own. There is no doubt that this is a must buy or die album. Highly recommended!!!!
Rating: 90
Gotthard are back to a more hard rock sound on this release.The songs are classic with a great production.Steve Lee's voice is amazing as usual.The only downside is the tracklist which in my opinion is 2 songs too long.Can't Stop, the bonus track is great.Alot of these songs were written to be played live.This band does not get their deserves!! Close to album of the year!!
Rating: 94
This would have to be one of the best releases of 2005.The band have gone back to a more solid rock approach on this release and all tracks are solid. If the single "Lift You Up" had some air-play on radio this album would really sell very well.It's a shame that they don't get the exposure outside Europe this band deserves as they play a refreshing brand of music..this is a must get cd

A superb return to form and easily their best release yet.I thought that 'Human Zoo' was a real let down.I can't believe the difference in terms of song quality between 'Lip Service' and 'Human Zoo'.This has got to be one of the best albums for 2005.I have never awarded an album with such a high rating before but I feel this release and this band deserves it.I even find it difficult to pick a favourite track,but if I was forced to make that decision then I would have to say.......all of them!.
Do yourself a favour and buy this great melodic rock album.
Rating: 100
the best Gotthard cd yet and that says alot.This band never screw up always put out the best rock music around. Even heard a rumor that they might finally come to the USA lets hope.
Rating: 100
Now this is what makes being into rock & roll such a gas!! This is an absolute winner of a rock release and sorry Andrew, but you just do NOT give these guys high enough praise!! Yup-Harem Scarem is a very cool band,but these guys are WAY equal and better all around because of their consistency. It's damn difficult to stay in a tried & true 'formula' and keep up the quality,but Gotthard has released some of the very best albums in melodic rock history to date! The new one? Just like everyone says-it's got an overall harder edge than the past two or three,but the quality of every song is right there. There just isn't enough praise to bestow on this band. As much as I love Thunder,I think these guys have edged them out just by a hair. Long live Gotthard-they are simply THEE best out there! Steve Lee-you are an amazing vocalist! Get 'Lipservice' and see what everyone's crowing about!
Rating: 95
Great Album... This is easily the best album of 05 for me so far. Its Hard Rock the way its supposed to be! Full of rockers & ballads... I've had people go and buy it after only hearing it once from my copy. If there were any chance in hell on this thing getting any radio airplay there is oneway that it wouldn't be a hit with the mainstream public. I don't care if you like bubblegum pop, thrash, punk, dance or country... you'll love something on this.
Rating: 98
I must say that, although a Gotthard fan since the debut cd, I wasn't majorly impressed with their last cd "Human Zoo". It had some fine rocking moments, but was littered with ballads. They do make great ballads which I enjoy, but not 1/2 a cd's worth.
Anyways, onwards to "Lipservice". This cd perfectly blends the heavier elements of their first 3 cd's with the more commercial side of "Homerun" and "Human Zoo". Standout tracks for me are "Dream On", "I Wonder", "I've Seen An Angel Cry" and "Said And Done", but there's not 1 bad track on this cd. Great stuff and highly recommended to all Gotthard fans old and new, and anyone that loves melodic hardrock music!
Rating: 98
Another incredible release from a band that is well over due for world wide success. The songs on this disc are compareable, quality wise to those on Human Zoo but with a harder edge. Great sound, great songs, great hooks, and awsome ballads, great vocals, with a rockin band. What else could you ask for.
Rating: 99
Now here is an album that is actually worth 99% even though it didn't get it unlike some lesser recent releases. It would have got the full 100 if the order had been slightly rearranged to avoid 2 slow numbers at the end. Both are good tracks but not both together at the end. Otherwise totally f'ing awesome 'comeback'. Some classic riffs and melodies all topped off with vocals by one of most underated singers around in Steve Lee. I've not stopped listening to it and have burnt off a copy to keep in the car as well!! Some albums tend to trail off in the middle section but this one just gets stronger. Totally awesome - nice to have you back guys.
Rating: 93
How sad it is that this record will not dominate radio through summer 2005. Just when I think there is nothing worthwhile in music, a record like this comes along and sets me straight! By far their best work to date. "Anytime, Anywhere" should be a huge summer hit, but again the Canadian and American music industries will pay no attention whatsoever to Gotthard. Tragic, yet thankful for a great summer album!!! Steve Lee is amazing!
Rating: 95
Probably their most derivative album. I can hear blatant rip offs of Gary Glitter, Kansas and Boston. There isn't one lyric that's clever or original. I don't care. It's catchy like SARS and rocks with the hardest Gotthard record. 'The Other Side of Me' is probably my favorite song as the chorus is fantastic, but the whole thing just oozes class.
Rating: 88
Simply a brilliant return to form from these guys.
I couldn't appreciate their latest release cause being pop affairs, but this is again a lot more rocking !
And Steve Lee is a top vocalist !
Good traditional hardrock CD !

Asthma Diagnosis and TreatmentIf you go to the emergency department for an asthma attack, the health care provider will first assess how severe the attack is. Attacks are usually classified as mild, moderate, or severe. This assessment is based on several factors:
Mild and moderate attacks usually involve the following symptoms, which may come on gradually:
Severe attacks are less common. They may involve the following symptoms:
If you are able to speak, the health-care provider will ask you questions about your symptoms, your medical history, and your medications. Answer as completely as you can. He or she will also examine you and observe you as you breathe. If this is your first attack, or the first time you have sought medical attention for your symptoms, the health-care provider will ask questions and perform tests to search for and rule out other causes of the symptoms. Measurements of how well you are breathing include the following:
There is no blood test than can pinpoint the cause of asthma.
A chest X-ray may also be taken. This is mostly to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms. Asthma Treatment Since asthma is a chronic disease, treatment goes on for a very long time. Some people have to stay on treatment for the rest of their lives. The best way to improve your condition and live your life on your terms is to learn all you can about your asthma and what you can do to make it better.

New kitchen appliances
Sep 25
Each year we're getting new models of TV sets and other devices. When you think about it though, the best place for you to get new developments and ideas for appliances is the kitchen. You could always use new to make your cooking and food preparation a lot easier.
If you have not kept yourself up to date with the latest technological developments in the kitchen, then here are some of the choices from which you can take your pick:
- Multi-Cooker- This device is a rice cooker, pressure cooker, and other types of cooker all rolled into one. Because it can do what usually took several types of devices to accomplish, it means that you are saving a lot of space in your kitchen. It can also cook a lot faster than the conventional devices that they have improved upon.
- Induction Cookers- This is one of the best ideas to have appeared on the kitchen today. The induction cooker produces an electromagnetic field, which is what heats up the pot or the pan that is placed on the stovetop. This means that the stove itself does not generate any heat on its own. You can even touch the surface right after cooking (don't do it though while the device is still plugged in). Because of the unique way that it cooks food, it only uses a fraction of the energy that conventional stoves used up in the past. The only downside is that you can only use a certain kind of pot or pan for it, because the induction process can only heat up those made from stainless steel.
- Dishwasher Drawers- Saving space is the rule right now when it comes to home appliances and those used in the kitchen are no exception. One way that designers have discovered to save space is by rethinking the way that they are opened. The solution is to use the idea for a drawer instead of the traditional way that a dishwasher can be opened. This principle can also be applied to microwave ovens.
- Steam Assist Ovens- This type of oven uses a unique way of cooking food. That unique method is through steam. Steam is circulated within the oven and it is the one that penetrates and cooks the food. Because of the properties of steam, you can save a great amount of work from food preparation.
- High-Tech Refrigerators- The common refrigerator has not escaped the fever to redesign old appliances. You can now get a refrigerator with a built in computer. You could even get an oven refrigerator.
There are still other new ideas out there for kitchen appliances. Most of them are improvements on existing ideas for appliances and can be seen as adaptations, so that the devices can still stay relevant.

"We aim to tear down the barriers that make opera seem unapproachable, to make sure that thrilling music theatre and opera are accessible to anybody who is interested to join us."
Stephen Langridge has been Artistic Director Opera/Drama at The Göteborg Opera since August 2013. As an internationally active, renowned director of opera and drama, he has worked at opera houses throughout the world. He likes to interweave large-scale productions with ground-breaking, community-oriented musical drama projects in unconventional environments, frequently with groups that do not normally get the chance to express themselves artistically. This is something he also intends continuing with at The Göteborg Opera.
"By planting deep roots within the region we will gain the strength and energy to enhance our excellent international reputation."
A film interview with Stephen on how he plans to develop Opera/Drama
"We aim to maintain the very high, international standard we have in our current productions, while also reaching out to new audiences by collaborating with different groups throughout the region and provide people of all ages with opportunities to participate in creative projects which reflect and examine our world, and express our emotions and dreams. One example is Zoë, an opera for and with young people, which we will stage in spring 2014.
Whether as audience or participant, I hope you will join us on this challenging and exciting journey."

La Cenerentola
Rossini's take on the Cinderella story is no simplistic fairy tale. There's no pumpkin coach and no glass slipper, and in place of a fairy godmother there's a wise old philosopher who wants his handsome Prince to marry not just the fairest of them all but also the best and the kindest. Yet, while reason and realism prevail, there's no shortage of magical enchantment in Rossini's miraculous score, which happily marries high comedy and heartfelt emotion, before climaxing with one of the most dazzling coloratura showpieces in all bel canto opera. The DVD release of this production is now available at the shop.

Indiana Unemployment Rate Sees Slight IncreaseIndiana's unemployment rate for June is up slightly over May. The Indiana Department of Workforce Development says private sector employment in Indiana grew by 5,300 jobs in June, the third straight month of significant increases. The bulk of growth came from the manufacturing sector, which expanded by 4,300 jobs over the month, the largest one month jump since August 2004. Indiana continues to have the largest percentage of manufacturing jobs as a portion of the private sector in the United States. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate edged up in June to 8.4 percent, though the increase was lower than most neighboring states. May's unemployment rate was 8.3 percent. "The manufacturing sector experienced the largest one-month increase in nearly a decade," said Scott B. Sanders, Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. "The majority of the growth occurred in durable goods, mainly in transportation equipment." Sanders also noted that private sector employment for June of 2,518,600 has not been near this level since June 2008 when employment stood at 2,530,600. He added that initial claims for unemployment insurance continue to remain at their lowest levels since 2000. Locally, Bartholomew County continues to lead the area with the lowest unemplyment rate at 6.6 percent. That is the third lowest unemployment rate in the state. Area counties with unemployment rates below the state rate include Johnson County at 7.2 percent, Jackson County at 7.3 percent, Shelby County at 7.4 percent, Brown County at 7.7 percent and Decatur County at 8.1 percent. Area counties with unemployment rates above the state rate include Ripley County at 9.5 percent, Jennings County at 9.8 percent and Lawrence County at 11 percent. Statewide, Hamilton County and Dubois County share the lowest unemployment rate at 6.2 percent. Fountain County has the highest unemployment rate in the state at 12.4 percent. Sectors showing job gains in Indiana for June include Manufacturing, Trade, Transportation and Utilities, Private Educational and Health Services and Financial Activities. Sectors losing jobs across the state in June include Construction, Professional and Busines Services and Leisure and Hospitality. Total non-farm employment also dropped 9,100 jobs in June.

The X-STREAM Non-Ferrous sensor can be used to sort many different non-ferrous metals, based on the chemical composition. This X-STREAM takes non-ferrous metal recycling to the next level by providing new and unique sorting opportunities.
Non-ferrous metal sorting increases asset recovery for shredder operations and metal processors. The X-STREAM economically extracts more asset value from currently recycled material and/or material previously defined as waste, earmarked for landfill or similar disposal. Non-ferrous processors and shredder operations can use this level of speciation to increase their asset recovery, and to ultimately drive their processes towards the ideal goal of total recycling. The flow sheet below displays just a few of many examples where the X-STREAM's XRF technology can be beneficial in a typical post-shredder non-ferrous process.
The X-STREAM is a fully automated in-line system based on proven X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) that identifies scrap material by its chemical composition.
A typical automated XRF sorting system is being composed of a conveyor-mounted spectrometer module, typically containing multiple tubes and detectors to provide the ability to detect and analyze every single piece of scrap material. In only a few milliseconds, the chemical composition of each piece is being calculated, after which customer-defined sorting parameters will determine whether or not to divert that piece out of the main stream.
Key specifications include:
The X-STREAM's software configuration offers flexibility allowing quick, on-site software modifications to meet changing criteria and new market demands.
The X-STREAM incorporates automated, high volume technology that sorts scrap and recyclable material based on highly specific material chemistry, not physical property. With XRF, sorting by elemental composition provides the recycling industry with new sorting opportunities and unique solutions for current challenges; increasing the level of scrap sorting and moving closer to the ideal goal of 100% recycling. This unique system works in tandem with eddy current, induction sorters, and media separation equipment to improve recoveries and increase asset value for metal and glass recyclers. It helps provide maximum value for processed material. It's easy, fast and cost-effective.
Automated XRF sensor technology can be applied to many different types of scrap material, and can therefore serve various recycling industries. Extracting copper meatballs from ferrous shred, sorting of non-ferrous metals by composition or alloy grade and sorting glass are a few of many examples where the X-STREAM technology can be beneficial for scrap processors. Olympus Innov-X is expert in XRF technology and aims to focus on developing and manufacturing the X-Stream sensors only. They are currently being used by sorting system manufacturers who implement the X-Stream sensors into their proven sorting systems. Contact us for more information.

Why we need a CME Hall of Fame.
After watching my son play in a baseball tournament in Cooperstown, N.Y., recently, I walked the hallowed halls of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. I am sure that I was the only person reading the thread on the LinkedIn CME Group page about the latest Accreditation Council for CME decision regarding the use of employees of commercial interests.
It suddenly struck me that the objective of the building's designers should also be our objective: to build a story about our achievements and accomplishments in CME. In other words, to allow those who can objectively evaluate the contributions of those in a profession to select those few who have clearly demonstrated measurable achievements and who could be shown to have made an overall positive impact. Baseball Hall of Famers were good at what they did because they loved the game.
Aren't we in it for the love of what we do? Aren't we often frustrated by the lack of advocacy around what we do and misperceptions about the intent of many CME activities and stakeholders? Now I'm not suggesting that we build a shrine to honor everyone who has FACME and/or CCMEP after their names (or both), but we do need a place for people to go (at least virtually) to find the accomplishments that have been achieved in CME. For instance:
How many learners have participated in CME each year or in a specific year?
How many lives may have been affected by learners who participated in CME?
What changes have we seen in CME through the years?
What scandals were there in CME and what did we learn from them?
What prejudices and biases contributed to the history of CME?
What are the true costs of CME?
What is the impact of CME on an individual program and aggregated basis?
What best practices exist?
Clearly there is a lot of information to which the public should have access. And perhaps the press would appreciate access to this information as well so they don't have to rely on anecdotal recollections and opinions and the small amount of data currently available.
The biggest beneficiaries would be the various CME stakeholders. CME providers would be able to research data specific to their organizational and program needs. When preparing year-end reports and reaccreditation self-studies, it would be incredibly valuable to consult the archives to compare their own data with professional standard and averages. CME supporters, be they pharmaceutical manufacturers or others, could use this information to objectively evaluate grant request proposals. Learners could consult a resource to find educational best practices. And finally, CME scholars would have a rationale for being CME scholars.
Lawrence Sherman, FACME, CCMEP, is senior vice president, educational strategy, with Prova Education, an affiliate of Omnia Education, Fort Washington, Pa. He is a frequent lecturer on topics related to the strategic development, dissemination, and evaluation of CME activities. Reach him at email@example.com.

Hersh's Pizza & Drinks is no ordinary pizza joint. And it's not as plain as its simple name suggests either. It's actually a sweetheart of a neighborhood restaurant and shows the love of its owner/sibling team Josh and Stephanie Hershkovitz.
The Owings Mills natives collaborated to revamp the space once occupied by Rub, a Texas barbecue place. They've transformed the South Baltimore corner restaurant, located in a pocket of industrial warehouses and urban homesteading, into a sleek, citified bar and dining room.
Diners enter into a dark-wood bar area, where they can linger for drinks and food, or they can ascend to the second floor—a well-lit, spacious area offering an attractive minimalist setting with wainscoting, murals, bare tables, and wood floors. There's also an outdoor patio for the warmer months.
Its namesake dish dominates the menu, showcased in 12-inch pies cooked in a wood-burning oven. Choices range from a simple cheese or tomato to more adventurous combos like kale and pistachio or prosciutto and arugula.
We settled on a clam pizza, dotted with buttery bivalve morsels and boosted with parsley, lemon undertones, garlic, and nippy Pecorino Romano cheese. We threw on anchovies, well, because we could. Other additional toppings include house-made sausage, fried eggplant, and olives for a few extra bucks.
We started with the prosciutto balls. These are wonderfully updated mozzarella sticks. The ricotta-mozzarella-Italian ham filling takes the traditional bar fare to an upscale level, complete with chunky, fresh marinara. We also liked the braised-chickpeas small plate but could have done without the olive-oil immersion. The beans, flavorful with feta and rosemary, were served in a dish lapping in oil, making dipping the crispy bread slices difficult and drippy. Hersh's also has a selection of crostini, salads, and, not to be overlooked, house-made pastas like tagliatelle with asparagus, mint, pistachios, and chevre.
Josh Hershkovitz, who cooked at Charleston and Petit Louis, is the force behind the restaurant's food. He also brought in another Charleston alum, Jamaal Green, as head bartender. That explains the clever cocktails on the bar menu. But you can imagine our surprise when we spotted The Basoco, a drink named after Baltimore magazine's executive editor Dick Basoco. "Jamaal needs to get a life," our boss joked after learning about the creation featuring two different whiskeys, honey syrup, and ginger beer.
The homemade desserts are another treat. The mini lemon/rosemary doughnuts were served hot in a small paper bag. The frangipane with almond paste and walnuts in a golden pastry with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dab of caramel was rich in sultry flavors.
In an area where there aren't many restaurants, the Hershkovitzes have created a welcome food oasis for area residents. But, really, everyone else should go, too.

Offering diagnosis and treatment of communication, hearing, and swallowing disorders
Published: Feb. 3, 2011
Updated: Nov. 3, 2011
Find answers to frequently asked questions about tinnitus.
Patients who are experiencing distress, anxiety, or depression related to tinnitus should receive a tinnitus evaluation.
Take the Tinnitus Reaction Questionnaire on the Wall Street Journal Web site to determine if tinnitus is negatively impacting your quality of life. A score of 17 or greater indicates you may benefit from a tinnitus evaluation.
Objective measures involving auditory matching of the tinnitus pitch and loudness will be performed. Masking techniques (i.e., attempting to cover your tinnitus with other sounds) will be used to determine if sound therapy is an option for reducing tinnitus awareness and disturbance.
The only way to determine if sound therapy is an option is to have a tinnitus assessment performed. No treatment recommendations can be given over the phone.
A tinnitus evaluation allows for the testing and education necessary to best manage your needs.
During this 90 minute appointment, objective measures (measuring your tinnitus pitch and loudness or attempting to cover your tinnitus with other noise) and subjective measures (questionnaire and intake form) will be taken.
Based on those results and your individual needs, treatment recommendations will be made.
Sound therapy is not an option for everyone. Other options that address the non-auditory symptoms such as depression and anxiety will be given as needed.
These therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy or more holistic services offered by the Duke Center for Integrative Medicine.
Neuromonics is a form of sound therapy. Neuromonics, Inc., is a medical device developer of products and services that treat tinnitus.
The company manufactures and distributes the Oasis, the only FDA-cleared, patented, clinically proven medical device for tinnitus that offers documented long-term medical benefit.
The accompanying Neuromonics tinnitus treatment (NTT) protocol addresses the neurological processes of tinnitus through spectrally modified music.
Customized for each patient's audiological profile, the NTT is delivered through the compact Oasis device, which functions much like familiar consumer music players.
Fourteen studies on the NTT confirm clinically significant reduction in tinnitus disturbance. The company has provided effective relief for tinnitus sufferers globally since 2001.
To learn more about this specific treatment option, please visit the Neuromonics Web site.
The comprehensive hearing test and tinnitus evaluation will be billed to your insurance company. To determine if your insurance company covers this type of evaluation or treatment, you would need to contact them directly.
At the end of your evaluation, appropriate recommendations will be made. Pricing for treatment options will vary based on the results of your tinnitus assessment and will be discussed during your appointment.
If you are having suicidal thoughts that you would act on, please call 911 or report to your local Emergency Department immediately.

Conservative attitudes cost California, but the kids are on the case
I hope you'll all indulge me a proud papa moment, because it's one that also has important public policy implications for California as state officials and voters wrestle with serious budget problems and a severely overcrowded prison system against the backdrop of conservative interests wielding more political and fiscal power than their numbers should indicate.
My oldest daughter, Breanna Jones, last week graduated with honors from Stanford University with a degree in public policy. At the ceremony, she received an award for her honors thesis – "California's Tragedy of the Commons: How a Few Voters Disproportionately Influence County Use of State Prisons" – which I'm attaching as a PDF.
"California's prison system has overrun maximum capacity, causing a public health conundrum, constitutional violations, and hemorrhaging finances. Even the public – which overwhelmingly endorsed past 'tough-on-crime' policies – has expressed its outrage about this waste of tax dollars. Recently, new research revealed that some California counties incarcerate more prisoners than the crime rate should dictate. That 'surplus incarceration' disproportionately contributes to the prison problem and thereby poses a significant tax burden on the state," her report's abstract begins.
Her research isolated a multitude of variables to show how it is the decisions that district attorneys in conservative counties make in how they charge crimes – with those prosecutors becoming especially aggressive after closely contested district attorneys races – that has the biggest impact on these high incarceration rates.
In other words, conservative attitudes toward crime and criminals are causing these usually small counties to have big impacts on the state's prison budget – not to mention being unfair to those being sent to prison – something that ought to concern all of us.
Couple this with other studies showing that conservative counties also tend to use a disproportionate share of other state resources – and with the requirement of a two-thirds vote in the Legislature to raise taxes, which Democrats fall just a couple votes short of – and it becomes clear that these right-wing political attitudes aren't benign. Indeed, we're all suffering from the outsized influence of a vocal minority of state residents.
Luckily, voters will have some opportunities to correct this imbalance in November when there will be revenue measures that need only a simply minority to be approved, as well as measures that would repeal the death penalty and reform the Three Strikes You're Out law, approval of which would begin to undo some of the damage done by these tight-fisted hypocrites.
California has lost its way and its balance. Luckily, the younger generation understands the situation and is willing to help us clean up the messes we've created for ourselves. It is the only thing that gives me hope for the future.
A degree from Stanford is an amazing achievement.
That said, have you considered the possibility that the daughter of an activist journalist who elected to study "public policy" might just not be representative of all young people?
The very act of choosing a wealth-consuming subject to study rather than a wealth-creating subject, already speaks to her (not doubt, paternally-induced) political bias. So should it shock us that she support higher taxes and bigger government. She's a chip off the old block.
My two sons are studying finance and law, respectively. They want to join the private sector and not work for government which they find, as I do, the "problem" and not the solution.
So a left-wing pa hasleft-wing kids and a right-wing pa has right-wing kids. Hardly surprising or newsworthy, ultimately, but at least we both raised our kids well enough so they didn't mindlessly rebel for the hell of it.
Anyway, that said, congratulations. But I'm still voting "NO" on Brown's November tax mugging. Even if US falters, there's always private schools, where you evidently prefer to send your kids.
My daughters both went to public schools, where Breanna earned her way into Stanford as an honors student and star debater. As such, she learned to rely on evidence and academic analysis, rigors that have nothing to do with your knee-jerk accusation of bias (an accusation you clearly made before you even read her work). You and your family can hold conservative biases that cause you to devalue academic work and place disproportionate value on supposed "wealth-creating" pursuits, ignoring the value of government and the myriad externalities of growth for growth's sake. But we're all paying the price for your short-sighted attitudes.
conservative. Yet in fact there are a great number of professors across the US who are conservative and indeed many of them have laid down the bedrock of economic thought that has informed federal economci policy since Reagan.
I think it's great that there are idealistic kids like your daughter out there who really believe that a civil servant in a cheap suit can make the country better. And if that were actually true, I'd be the happiest guy in the nation. Experience says otherwise, sadly.
But again, congrats on choosing a private school over UC. It's good to know that even left-wing journalists make exceptions when it comes to the welfare and prospects of their own kids. Chris Daly agrees with you on that topic, apparently. So do I.
She chose Stanford, just as my other daughter has chosen to attend UCSB this fall. They are independent thinkers, a trait I've always encouraged.
As for your point about conservativism, I didn't imply there aren't conservative academics, my point was that you dismissed her rigorous academic research as somehow vaguely biased without any evidence or even the bare minimal consideration of her work and arguments, which seems pretty typical of many conservatives that treat insightful academic work with suspicion and/or disdain.
"Public Policy" ever suggest that less government is a viable solution? The fundamental premise that underlies any class called "public policy" is that the study of how government can "improve" society is a given.
How many of Brianna's classmates wrote a thesis on lower taxes, smaller government and sound Austrian economic policies? It couldn't happen. Same with sociology and some other liberal arts college majors - they are skewed towards a left-wing outlook.
Look, I'm sure her work was "rigorous" and academically good. I'm equally sure the economics major in the next classroom was equally "rigorous" in his thesis that proved the exact opposite. That's the point of an academic education, or should be anyway, i.e. to be able to argue both sides of an argument, not to take sides.
So could Brianna write an equally "rigorous" and persuasive thesis in support of small government? If not, she hasn't gotten quite as good an education as you might like to think.
What happens when you find out that the private corporation used to replace one of our government functions, education, resource management, banking, is actually owned by a regime that would like to get the upper hand on the USA. Some of these "private" multinational corporations may have a communist government or a dictatorship as a majority stakeholder and are not accountable to the public!
You appear to have no knowledge of the scientific method of experimentation and analysis of results to inform research.
Like Stalinist communism, there are no instances in the historical record where libertarian capitalism with small government has proven sustainable over time.
Wherever libertarian capitalism has been tried, there have been popular revolts that have either overthrown that regime or been put down violently.
It is communist regimes that have been routinely overthrown in living memory, while low-tax principalities like Dubai, Andorra, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland, Liechenstein, Aruba, and so on have flourished.
While relatively low-tax, smaller government USA has greatly out-performed over-governed, over-taxed, sclertoic Europe. And even within the US, low-tax States routinely do better like, right now, North Dakota and Wyoming, running budget surpluses.
You could not be more wrong.
Latin America.
There's a whole world outside the America's
Yes, the European situation is completely settled, the Austerians have won a decisive victory!
have been overthrown, not prosperous democratic nations that favour sound money and lower taxes.
Germany has ample retirement benefits as well as no point cost health care financed by government. Germany requires that all boards of directors of private firms have significant labor representation. By tea party reckoning, Germany is communist.
I'd also add that South Africa and Egypt, both in Africa, have kicked out the neoliberals and are seeking a more just and balanced governmental regime.
They are left-wing by American standards though, and most Americans would not be happy with their level of tax and welfare
Most Americans are not allowed to vote on whether to have a German style economic system, neither party offers that choice, so we will never know until we eliminate the domestic political monopoly.
Put up a candidate who proposes a German-style welfare state with taxes to go with it, and see how well it does.
Neither party that dominates the electoral system permits debate to go there. The Republicans spend their time attacking the Democrat Party while the Democrat Party spends their time attacking the Democrat base.
Any effort to put forth an alternative, such as the Greens which were gaining traction, results in the Democrats attacking them with a vigor they never use against the Republicans.
The game is rigged and is being rigged more every day by rent seekers who profit off of the current corrupt regime. Even the tea partiers say "get your government hands off my Medicare." Even veterans love the VA. Yet the Washington consensus is to slash both programs.
That can only go on for so long.
Would you prefer us to be a non-democratic state if it implemented the policies that you approve of?
Government of the people, by the people and for the people is what one Republican had in mind. Now we've got government of the dollar, by the dollar for the dollar where the dollar can be a corporation or foreigner.
When the government does not respond to the policy demands of the voters, which happens over and over, then that government is not democratic, by definition.
describe a better alternative. It's easy to carp. But difficult to stand up FOR something.
Further, Germany has stringent regulations on banking and as a result they are the most highly "developed economy" that was impacted the least by the bank implosion.
Most Americans want Medicare for all as the health care financing vehicle. Most businesses want to be relieved of the burden of paying directly for health insurance for their employees. That burden makes American firms less competitive than their German counterparts. They'd prefer to pay a tax, say 5% on labor, to finance purchasing health care in bulk for everyone.
Americans don't want to have to rely on the workplace for health care. Obama ran on as much in 2008 and if memory serves he won. He governed quite differently it turns out and that will probably cost him the presidency and rightly so.
I could imagine the conniption fits that you tea partiers would be throwing right now had Obama actually fulfilled his campaign promise and delivered a public option, Medicare for all or some other sort of government financed health care.
Instead, we've got an individual mandate that coerces purchase of a product, Americans delivered like potted meat to the pharma companies that force us to pay the highest rates for meds and subsidizing cheaper rates in Europe.
These were all demanded by the insurers and pharmaceutical firms and forced on us. Tea Partiers, Citizens United all, should follow their ideology and thank the rich who run these companies for pointing you all in the direction that God clearly ratified by enriching those leaders and allowing them to buy the government.
Anyone who has taken these soft science classes since likely the 70's knows that the biggest way to earn a bad grade is to not agree with the teacher.
In the 80's when I was a soft headed Jones like liberal I noted the total lack of intellectual vigor in these classes.
A philosophy needs a mechanism for questioning the entire premise of your beliefs, like Randism or born again jesusers, the revealed wisdom of the left is unquestioning.
Karl Poppers Falsifiability should put an end to born againers, Randroids and the far "I agree with my college teacher" left. But no.
Government transfers plenty of wealth all the time.
The rise of the 1% is directly related to explicit acts of governmental discretion and that money came from the 99%.
You'd have no political views without a stereotyped class to hate.
When conservatives blame everything on illegals or blacks, you whine. Yet you do exactly the same thing.
The outcomes speak for themselves, really.
Many of us don't buy the stereotypes and the hate.
Both the tea party and occupy are up in arms about government owned by Wall Street demanding bail outs. When government freezes people out of the process by not responding to demands to end TBTF and cuts social security in order to finance bail outs and the perpetual war machine, it is simply a matter of time before the government falls. Whether it is a Berlin Wall or Tienanmen Square scenario, eventually, and we're seeing instability in China as their growth bubble is collapsing, it is decreed, the people rule.
You are wrong.
99% of lawyers create nothing - they merely exist to help transfer money from one person/entity to another. Almost every civil lawsuit is about transferring wealth from one person/entity to another. And many of the lawyers I know are active in the very lucrative practice of helping their business clients rearrange worldwide operations to reduce fees and taxes to governments, a job that merely takes money from governments and transfers it to the business owners/shareholders.
And as you likely know the government and big business are part of the same cabal, notwithstanding the often heated rhetoric between the two. It's not a coincidence that labor (wages) are taxed at relatively very high rates with few deductions, but rents are taxed at extremely low rates with loads of phoney deductions, or that government uses "net profits" to tax business (the most phoney tax possible since "profits" are so easy to manipulate), but working stiffs are subject to regressive payroll and sales taxes that don't allow any deductions.
But nice spin job about your "wealth creating" offspring. Since the country's business and government leaders have done such a great job of enabling companies to easily shift jobs and profits overseas, about the only decent paying jobs left involve rhetoric and spin - advertisers, politicians, business leaders, and lawyers.
Those who deliver value have nothing to fear from competitiors. Those who merely consume wealth, on the other hand . .
Thank you, sir, for your insightful commentary on my undergraduate thesis work. I just wanted to comment briefly that I'm disappointed in your lack of respect for the individuality that young people can exhibit in today's world and workforce. While I value my father's opinions on a number of subjects, I am by no means simply a "chip off the old block", and I would encourage you to read my research yourself in order to understand the more fine-tuned policy point that I attempt to make. I would very much value some criticism that approaches the content rather than personally attacking someone you know nothing about.
In any case, I look forward to meeting your son in law school.
A Stanford degree is very impressive.
The article's author states: "revenue measures that need only a simply (sic) minority to be approved (a once-every-four-years opportunity)."
I believe this is a once every two-year opportunity (based on whenever politicians who can raise taxes are up for election, which happens every two years for state assemblymembers and local supervisors). The voter turnout is often highest for presidential elections, which often attracts more liberal voters, so it may be easier to pass general tax increases every four years, but I believe if you recheck your sources you'll find that it's every two years when a state or local general tax increase can pass with a simple majority.
Regardless, the most important issue these days (and for the past 50 years beginning in the late 1950's) isn't simply "more taxes" (unless you're been completely brainwashed by reading too many Tim Redmond articles over the years), it's "different taxes." The local, state and national economy would produce tremendous benefits for working people, small businesses, and homeowners if the politicians would simply eliminate all regressive payroll and sales taxes, replacing them with an equal amount of tax imposed on landlord's gross rents and businesses' gross receipts. The disposible income of a huge percent of the population would soar, invigorating the local and national economy, whereas the top 10% of the population that controls the vast majority of the real esate and corporate wealth would see their net worth reduced by a nominal amount.
I just checked with the Secretary of State's Office and you are correct about when simple majorities can pass revenue measures, so I've deleted that line from my post. Thanks for keeping me in honest.
so I can't imagine any renters voting for that!
Not if the market won't bear higher rents it won't.
right now, or didn't you know that?
Yes, but if the market won't bear the increase in price, then the landlords will not be able to pass parcel taxes through to the tenants.
Don't you understand the basics of market economics or is it all just economic sharia for you, a bestowal from god that we humans needn't worry our pretty little heads about?
passthru under rent board rules. There's a form for it. And since RC units are under market, your point is moot.
If it's a market rent then the LL may decide to not pass thru a tax. But if a rental isn't profitable, he may take it off the market, thereby reducing the supply of housing.
So either way a new tax on rental housing would be inflationary and bad for renters, which is why no liberal politicians is even thinking about proposing such a thing.
Not all rent controlled housing is renting for way way below market. The average tenancy is 5 years in SF. That means that rent controlled apartments turn over all the time. For tenants for whom their rent would increase beyond what they find worthy, they will just move and the landlord will be holding an apartment at market rent trying to get more than the market will bear.
It is like Prop 13, for folks who bought decades ago it is great. For those of us who bought recently, even 2% increases in assessments, compounded, add up to some serious money.
In recent years, allowable increases have been as little as 0.1%
So in practice almost every RC units rents for less a LL could get in an open market, especially now as jobs are returning.
Regardless, all taxes are inflationary - you cannot conjure up limitless tax hikes and expect there to be no adverse consequences.
There is zero political support for a tax on rents that isn't passed thru. and it's probably constitutionally dodgy too.
Do the words "like" or "as" not have any semantics to you? Do those words mean "the same" to your small brain?
Maybe one day all words will mean the same thing, precisely what you want them to mean, no more, no less.
You've done an amazing thing, earned a Stanford degree and written a exceptional thesis. You give us all hope for the world.

Functional Grading of Mineral and Collagen in the Attachment of Tendon to Bone Biophysical Journal, Volume 97, Issue 4, 19 August 2009, Pages 976-985 Guy M. Genin, Alistair Kent, Victor Birman, Brigitte Wopenka, Jill D. Pasteris, Pablo J. Marquez and Stavros Thomopoulos Abstract Attachment of dissimilar materials is a major challenge because high levels of localized stress may develop at their interfaces. An effective biologic solution to this problem exists at one of nature's most extreme interfaces: the attachment of tendon (a compliant, structural "soft tissue") to bone (a stiff, structural "hard tissue"). The goal of our study was to develop biomechanical models to describe how the tendon-to-bone insertion derives its mechanical properties. We examined the tendon-to-bone insertion and found two factors that give the tendon-to-bone transition a unique grading in mechanical properties: 1), a gradation in mineral concentration, measured by Raman spectroscopy; and 2), a gradation in collagen fiber orientation, measured by polarized light microscopy. Our measurements motivate a new physiological picture of the tissue that achieves this transition, the tendon-to-bone insertion, as a continuous, functionally graded material. Our biomechanical model suggests that the experimentally observed increase in mineral accumulation within collagen fibers can provide significant stiffening of the partially mineralized fibers, but only for concentrations of mineral above a "percolation threshold" corresponding to formation of a mechanically continuous mineral network within each collagen fiber (e.g., the case of mineral connectivity extending from one end of the fiber to the other). Increasing dispersion in the orientation distribution of collagen fibers from tendon to bone is a second major determinant of tissue stiffness. The combination of these two factors may explain the nonmonotonic variation of stiffness over the length of the tendon-to-bone insertion reported previously. Our models explain how tendon-to-bone attachment is achieved through a functionally graded material composition, and provide targets for tissue engineered surgical interventions and biomimetic material interfaces.

Magnetic Resonance Microscopy of Collagen Mineralization Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 4, 15 August 2008, Pages 2017-2026 Ingrid E. Chesnick, Jeffrey T. Mason, Anthony A. Giuseppetti, Naomi Eidelman and Kimberlee Potter Abstract A model mineralizing system was subjected to magnetic resonance microscopy to investigate how water proton transverse (T2) relaxation times and magnetization transfer ratios can be applied to monitor collagen mineralization. In our model system, a collagen sponge was mineralized with polymer-stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate. The lower hydration and water proton T2 values of collagen sponges during the initial mineralization phase were attributed to the replacement of the water within the collagen fibrils by amorphous calcium carbonate. The significant reduction in T2 values by day 6 (p<0.001) was attributed to the appearance of mineral crystallites, which were also detected by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. In the second phase, between days 6 and 13, magnetic resonance microscopy properties appear to plateau as amorphous calcium carbonate droplets began to coalesce within the intrafibrillar space of collagen. In the third phase, after day 15, the amorphous mineral phase crystallized, resulting in a reduction in the absolute intensity of the collagen diffraction pattern. We speculate that magnetization transfer ratio values for collagen sponges, with similar collagen contents, increased from 0.25±0.02 for control strips to a maximum value of 0.31±0.04 at day 15 (p=0.03) because mineral crystals greatly reduce the mobility of the collagen fibrils.

Hierarchical Modeling of the Elastic Properties of Bone at Submicron Scales: The Role of Extrafibrillar Mineralization Biophysical Journal, Volume 94, Issue 11, 1 June 2008, Pages 4220-4232 Svetoslav Nikolov and Dierk Raabe Abstract We model the elastic properties of bone at the level of mineralized collagen fibrils via step-by-step homogenization from the staggered arrangement of collagen molecules up to an array of parallel mineralized fibrils. A new model for extrafibrillar mineralization is proposed, assuming that the extrafibrillar minerals are mechanically equivalent to reinforcing rings coating each individual fibril. Our modeling suggests that no more than 30% of the total mineral content is extrafibrillar and the fraction of extrafibrillar minerals grows linearly with the overall degree of mineralization. It is shown that the extrafibrillar mineralization considerably reinforces the fibrils' mechanical properties in the transverse directions and the fibrils' shear moduli. The model predictions for the elastic moduli and constants are found to be in a good agreement with the experimental data reported in the literature. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (893 kb) |

We have studied the atomic level structure of mineralized articular cartilage with heteronuclear solid-state NMR, our aims being to identify the inorganic species present at the surfaces of the mineral crystals which may interact with the surrounding organic matrix and to determine which components of the organic matrix are most closely involved with the mineral crystals. One-dimensional 1H and 31P and two-dimensional 1H-31P heteronuclear correlation NMR experiments show that the mineral component is very similar to that in bone with regard to its surface structure. 13C{31P} rotational echo double resonance experiments identify the organic molecules at the mineral surface as glycosaminoglycans, which concurs with our recent finding in bone. There is also evidence of γ-carboxyglutamic acid residues interacting with the mineral. However, other matrix components appear more distant from the mineral compared with bone. This may be due to a larger hydration layer on the mineral crystal surfaces in calcified cartilage.

Las Vegas Tattoo CoNeighborhoods: Historic Ybor, Northeast
Best piercing studio in Tampa! I finally got up the courage to get my VCH piercing done, this piercing is very important to me and i wanted an experienced piercer. Belle came highly recommended so I went to Las Vegas Tattoo down in Ybor. She was friendly and i could tell right away she knew what she was doing so I felt comfortable. The jewelry is high quality and studio was very clean. I love it and will return.
Best tattoo shop in Tampa Bay! My artist took my idea to another level, it came out so pretty! Thanks Colt I will recommend you to all my friends.
TERRIBLE TATTOO – I just got a tattoo from here last week and it got so infected i had to spend more money for a hospital bill.The doctor told me i had staffe infection from a dirty needle.I called las vegas tattoo several time's and they say it's my fault then hang up on me.I did everything i was suppose to take care of my new tattoo,but they insist it was something i did.
Inexperience and Cocky – After going back and forth between shops in the area I settled on LVTC because the owner claims to be the best in the area and I have had friends tattooed here.. Wow was I wrong. The friends that I know have been tattooed by fish so I was hoping to get him but they could only get me in with jon. Sadly jon made the whole tattoo feel rushed and when it was completed he left out part of the tattoo and of course there was "no room left for the symbol to fit". With leaving out the very important symbol the tattoo feels like it has lost its meaning to me and I am hoping another shop can correct it. When I mentioned what was left out to jon he just didn't care. I think sometimes people with so many tattoos forget how much a little mistake means to someone who only has a few.
Jon is AWESOME – My boyfriend and I both got our FIRST tattoos at LVTC and loved the experience. Jon did ours and was not only a hilarious person to talk to, but he paid extra attention to detail and took his time. Both tattoos came out great and the price was very reasonable. I'm sure we'll be back for more in no time :)
Best Place To Get A Piercing :D! – I just got my eyebrow done, after seeing my friend get her nose pierced by Belle. She is the best person to do this, by far!! She makes you feel comfortable, makes sure to keep everything sanitary, and takes great care of her customers.
My eyebrow didn't hurt at all! I would recommend these guys to all my friends. If you want a piercing, go to Belle :D!
LAS VEGAS TATTOO!!!!!!!! – I would suggest these guys to anyone, I love the staff and have been coming here for years now. I was brought in by few friends because they told me that the artist there where top notch. I have to say that when I went in for the first time and met th artist Fish it was very awesome art work. I was really happy with the robot and here I am about four years and some change later as well as a few more tattoos and piercings I am still going back for more. Belle is one of the coolest piercing artist I have met in the area. I make it a mission to drive from my home town in New Port Richey to them in Ybor! The friendly and professional atmosphere is what makes this place like no other, their prices are just right and the skills are pushing the imagination and tattoo world to a new level. I say go for it!!!!!!!! Check them out!!!!!!
Best Tattoo Experience I've Had! – I love this place! From my first email contact with Belle, to the tattoo itself by Clare - it was perfect. I've gotten ten tattoos in nine different places...so I feel I've got enough experience to say that they are the best.
I came in from out of town and wanted a very specific tattoo at a very specific time. They helped with narrowing down the design before I even came into town via email, and were 100% ready for me to walk in the door on my strict schedule for the weekend. Clare was fun to talk to, and did amazing work.
I can't wait to go back on my next trip!
#1 PIERCER IN TAMPA!!! – So I decided to get my nipples pierced. Most of my friends told me that it hurt like hell and tp brace myself, so I did. After checking out a couple places in Tampa, a friend told me about Belle at Las Vegas Tattoo Co. in Ybor. From start to finish Belle demonstrated professionalism, experience(she was a wealth of information about every angel of the piercing), and made it the most comfortable tattoo/piercing environment I've ever been in(she let me know everything she was doin every step of the way). Also, IT DIDN'T EVEN HURT!!! Friends still tell me they don't know how it didn't hurt me; I just look relieved and reply, "My baby, my Belle:)" She's the only one I would think about going to now.

Diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases in America. It has nearly doubled in the last decade and 10% of the U.S. population is expected to have it by 2010. Some 24-million already do and almost a quarter of those don't know it yet. Diabetes often leads to heart disease, kidney failure, blindness and amputations. Even so, it is one of the most preventable of chronic killers. Tuesday morning on the Sound of Ideas, we'll talk about Diabetes 101; what it is, how it affects the body and how its affecting Northeast Ohioans.
Health, Diabetes: The Constant Shadow
Please follow our community discussion rules when composing your comments.
Can you talk about the role of high fructose corn syrup, diabetes and the american diet? I've read where scientists now think HFC might be linked to the disease. Thanks
I am self-employed and pay for my own health insurance. I must say that I am somewhat reluctant to go to my doctor to see if I might be diabetic because of the health insurance ramifications. If I'm diagnosed with diabetes, it either will become prohibitively expensive, or unavailable to me. Any suggestions?
I am currently taking two medications for my diabetes, glimepride and metformin. Are ther any other medications that can be taken instead of both of these, or is this my best option.
