As with the earlier movie, this one turns in on its own morality like a Möbius strip, endorsing kindness by practicing slaughter, and pulls us along for the ride. Detractors will call its reasoning ridiculous, and they'll be right - though I doubt that will bother Goldthwait, who makes a living being ridiculous.
God Bless America ends with a couple of tale-twisting bullet orgies designed to take your preconceptions, as well as your nerve-endings, by surprise.
Jul 2, 2012Part road trip, part revenge movie, this is a tentative tale of a man who's not going to take it anymore, sharp on the fallibility of human foibles and sometimes stingingly funny, too.
The key point about God Bless America is that it's extreme but not exaggerated, a dark comedy that indulges - and questions - a violent, misanthropic fantasy about laying waste to the cultural landscape while staying grounded in a recognizable reality.
Writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait has an ax to grind and, once he's done grinding it, he uses it to split some skulls. God Bless America is many things - audacious, bitingly satirical, unafraid of venturing into uncomfortable territory - but it is never subtle.
This funny, sick twist of social satire is certainly locked and loaded, even if its aim is sometimes off.
You'll laugh and be offended, but if you watch it and don't want to be part of the solution, you'll know which side of the line you're on. Activism takes some unique forms.
It's a little too obvious -- interesting, sometimes kind of fun but, ultimately, not as satisfying as it might have been.
Offers a few laughs and a moment or two of drama, but it's finally more of a conceit -- and a familiar one -- than a film.
The good news: This is Goldthwait the writer-director, not Goldthwait the actor -- so there's no schticky voice to endure. But his exceedingly black comedy does speak loudly -- and it turns out he's actually got something worthwhile to say.
Although several great speeches and hilarious one-liners goose the film, God Bless America nevertheless peaks too early and becomes rather one-note.
May 11, 2012There are so many monologues about obnoxious behavior that they begin to lose their luster - something I'd never have thought possible.
At no point during the movie does it strike him that mass extermination might be classified as "rude." No, Frank has the courage of his convictions, which include the belief that most of America has already flushed itself down the toilet.
Mr. Goldthwait's screenplay is essentially a comedy act fleshed out with a story he doesn't try to make convincing.
Here is a film that begins with merciless comic savagery and descends into merely merciless savagery. But wow, what an opening.
Bobcat Goldthwait's new movie is a burlesque that turns into a harangue that turns into a rampage.
The interplay between Murray and Barr is closely and carefully handled, but when the monotonous squib-popping subsides, the movie is often static and talky, lapsing into criticism-hedging qualifications and anti-everything speechifying.
A niche theatrical run might draw fans of Goldthwait's previous work, this effort isn't likely to get as much help from critics as those sometimes did.
While it starts out well, Bobcat Goldthwait's black comedy struggles to maintain focus as it turns into a road trip of diminishing rewards in satirical and narrative terms.
May 10, 2012God Bless America only wants to see the worst in people - in fact actively seeks it out in order to be disgusted, and that feels almost as bad as the behavior the film is critiquing.
As both a comedian and filmmaker, Bobcat Goldthwait ("Shakes the Clown") has carved out a valuable spot as an idiosyncratic instigator. But even fans may be disappointed at how swiftly he undermines its own message here.
It's Goldthwait's first misstep, a serious one. He's simply not the filmmaker to mount a fierce takedown of Kardashian culture, thorough though his script's rage is.
By wholeheartedly taking its main character's side instead of complicating or censuring his homicidal vigilante crusade, it proves inanely one-note and preachy.

May 17, 2012One of the best movies of the year in my opinion. While the story is not easy to take seriously, its not meant to. The plot relays a message that needs to be said about todays society. The break out performance by Tara Lynne Barr is phenomenal. I enjoyed every second of this movie. *note this movie will not go over with you as well if you are 1) a Santorum style republican 2) A member of the Real housewives show 3) a member of the Westboro Baptist church. Im Commander Shepherd and this is my favorite movie on the citadel.… Full Review »
May 27, 2012Ultimately a snuff fantasy for the kind of people who spend their evening watching Jon Stewart and Rachel Maddow. Sure is fun to imagine yourself going on a killing spree to wipe out FOX news commentators, reality TV show stars, and insulting judges on American Idol. But ultimately, the film's ccharacters are no better than the targets of their wrath. The is one way I could givev this movie a 10. If you interpret it as a condemnation of the people who will get off on it. In a way, the ending reminds me of the ending of Inglourious Bastards, where the audience is watching a film in which the heros massacre an audience full of Nazis trapped in a theater watching a film in which the hero kills their enemies. I'm not sure the film is really smart enough to have that double edge to it, though. There are numerous occasions when the protagonists rant and rave about the vulgarity of the culture, before immediately revealing themselves to be nothing but the flip side, another example of the vulgarity they condemn. As if going on a killing spree to protest incivility isn't sufficiently ironic.… Full Review »
Jul 8, 2012I'd gone into this movie with high hopes thinking that it would be generally funny, and for the first half hour it was. After you get through the intro of the movie, including the first killing, it goes down hill from there. The movie then takes a turn to twenty minute monologues before anything important actually happens, all the while it is incredibly obvious that the writer is only trying to push a political agenda. The movie turns from being genuinely funny, to just being plain pathetic by trying to force comedy through their sad "political jokes" that stereotype people as much as you can. The characters are extremely unlikable and make it very hard to relate to them. Especially the girl, she swears up a storm, typically for no reason, by saying things, like **** you frank" just to reply to the him. Frank the main character, brings no life to his role whatsoever. He is supposed to be a man dying from a brain tumor, but really all he is, is a poor actor that can't show any emotion, and always talks in a monologue voice. The story, could have easily been written by a middle school student. It is poorly written, and extremely shallow. This is why I've given the movie a two out of ten.… Full Review »

I offer you a story from the NAPHIA meeting in Pittsburgh. It's an example of how we pet insurance CEOs work together in a tight situation.
I had the opportunity to spend a few hours in my car with Steve Popovich, the CEO of Pet Partners (AKC brand of pet insurance). This was the first time I'd met Steve as he's just joined the NAPHIA board, and it seems that in the close confines of a car, we talked a lot about things you'd expect all the way there (I peppered him with questions about the AKC plan and Pet Partners) and on the way back, a lot of things we might not otherwise have done so - religion, politics, and dieting being some of the more unexpected topics we covered.
Despite being at the opposite ends of the scale on many things (except the dieting), we had a very enjoyable conversation and when we arrived back in Pittsburgh, Steve graciously offered to fill my car up with gas, which I gladly accepted. So, with the empty gas tank light on, I pulled out my Droid and my navigation app, which had successfully got us around up to that point, to guide us to where we needed to go.
First stop: the first stop indicated was 0.7 miles from the hotel - excellent! But when we got to the location, there was nothing there (and I mean no gas station or even a building). A closer look showed that the location was actually the marketing arm of Hess, not actually a gas station, but still - no building?
Second stop: the next stop was in the other direction and when we got there, it turned out to be an airport park and fly. No luck there.
Third stop: navigation said go to Sams' Club on top of the hill nearby so we went up there only to find this Sam's Club didn't have a gas station and if it had, I realized we'd probably need a membership to fill up and of course, we didn't have one between us.
Detour: while we were up on top of this hill where there were lots of shops and people, we figured we'd scout out the area since there had to be a gas station amongst the many buildings. Actually there are none, zero, zip, nada.
Now the going was getting tricky as the next supposed stops were getting to be several miles away in different directions, rush hour was on, and we were losing confidence in the navigation and quite frankly, just gas stations in general. And of course, we were driving on fumes.
Fourth stop: back to the navigation... we picked the next stop on the list and headed there, only to find ourselves stopped in our tracks, gazing across the bridge at TWO lovely welcoming gas stations on the other side - except that the bridge had a large hole in it and was closed for construction. So cruel!
(now we're thinking back to that conversation about religion and god and the twilight zone...)
Fifth stop: So, we followed the detour - back on to the highway, take next exit right, turn right again and again and instead of ending up right back where we were, somehow, we were on the other side of the highway at the gas station. (it felt like Escher's staircase in reality)
Except that the pumps weren't working. It turns out the computers had been down for the last 20 mins according to the very apologetic station attendant. Sigh.
We both turned and stared at the last remaining gas station across the road and prayed for success.
Sixth stop: Across we went and drove around the closed pumps to the back to find one of the two available and filled up. Yes!
The whole trip must have taken nearly an hour of driving around.
Meanwhile, no work was getting done. A conf call was getting missed. And Steve and I found out that we make a good team in difficult circumstances.
And if that's not a good sign for NAPHIA and pet insurance, I don't know what is!
PS. Steve sent me this email just yesterday: Hi Laura, My accountant just got a call from AMEX asking if the BP charge for gas in Pittsburgh "really happened". I thought that was funny. Maybe our journey was not meant to end there. Regards Steve
I can't believe it's that time again but Pet Health Insurance Month is coming up in September! The North American Pet Health Insurance Association (NAPHIA) is sponsoring the event across the US and Canada.
Time to dust off your story telling submit your pet insurance claim stories and nominate your favorite veterinarian for some great prizes, including $1,000 for you and a grant for your veterinarian. You can do it!
The 2009 pet insurance story was Heimdall's battle with a rare type of pneumonia that cost more than $10,000.
Last year's winning veterinarian was Dr. Wayne Ingmire of Chicago, IL.
Check out the details over at NAPHIA.org.
NAPHIA is the North American Pet Health Insurance Association and at our recent meeting in Las Vegas, I was voted in as Chairman of the NAPHIA Board (Chairman, Chair, Chairperson - it's all the same to me.)
I am delighted to have the opportunity to lead NAPHIA's development at this stage of the organization's maturation - there's a lot to do!
We spent our last meeting setting NAPHIA's long-term strategy and short-term tactics for the next year and have some interesting projects on the go. As part of that process, we spent a lot of time prioritizing our efforts this year to be the most effective for our membership and thus our membership's policyholders, as resources are always tight.
Right now, the NAPHIA board members are focused on two areas:
Our next meeting is in early May in Boise, ID so there's a lot to do before then. Back later!

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) June 02, 2014
In his debut book 100 Small Steps: The First 100 Pounds Think Right, (2014, Morgan James) Wisconsin author Keith Temple Trotter speaks candidly about his emotional journey to losing over 150 pounds. The book takes readers on a journey uncovering the why and making the goal of achieving sustainable weight loss a reality.
Change can be painful and cause uncertainty. Trotter demonstrates that by taking small steps to overcome psychological obstacles and celebrating incremental victories, you can take control of your life with power and purpose.
He had some expert advice along the way.
Dr. Kevin Ronneberg is a board certified family medicine physician who has focused on sports medicine and wellness for 14 years. He and Keith met while working together at a regional health plan in the Twin Cities. We met over lunch and what he shared with me that day was nothing short of inspirational. Said Dr. Ronneberg. Mr. Trotter was equally impressed with Kevin. I knew I had to have him as part of the project so I didn't hesitate to ask him to write the foreword!
Other professionals are talking about it too.
Keith Trotters small steps delivers huge results. Vulnerability that creates confidence. Research that strengthens instinct. Success driven from an acceptance and understanding of failures
Pat Sukhum Co-Founder, RedBrick Health
This book is not just about weight loss, it is about making lasting changes to ones life.
-Peter Mills, MD, Director, co-founder nGage Health
Think Right is the first of a three book series. When Trotter pitched the book to the publisher one aspect struck a chord with the groupit hadn't been done before. In my research I was shocked how there wasn't any commercial material dealing with the psychological aspects of weight loss, even though there have been studies done proving there is a positive correlation between the two. For example, one study showed that if you are over-weight you are 55% more likely to develop depression and if youre depressed you are 58% more likely to become over-weight. The public needs to be aware that mental health is physical health and vice-versa.
About Keith Temple" Trotter
Keith Temple Trotter is founder of A. Keith Consulting, and author of the blog and book 100 Small Steps: The First 100 Pounds. (2014, Morgan James) His inspirational weight loss story has been featured in Healthy Living Magazine, on CNN.com, URAWarrior.com, and on the OWN TV program Love In the City.
Rock Hill, SC (PRWEB) March 28, 2014
There are less than a few thousand physicians practicing obesity medicine and one third of the U.S. population need their help. Unfortunately, there are 300,000 primary care physicians who are facing patients everyday that are obese and overweight, patients who need to, want to, improve their weight. Here is how we can effectively close this gap.
Via the SlimPlate System Authorized Physician Affiliate Program, two weight loss doctors are helping fellow physicians to start weight loss services in their existing practice.
With the SlimPlate System Authorized Physician Affiliate Program, physicians are given an easy way to help their overweight and obese patients.
Hello Dr. Nwe, I wish to share the exciting news that my weight management clinic will be opening its door to the public on April 1, 2014. The will open a firm foundation. As you know, the building of such a foundation requires much foresight, research, planning, trials and errors, says Dr. Johnson, Founder and CEO of Archway Healthcare Services. I wish I could take the credit for all of the above, but the fact is that the credit goes to you. All that was left for me to do was to overlay that foundation with my personal business structure.
Physicians are the ones to encounter patients needing weight management services but many don't have time or training to help patients lose weight. That is where SlimPlateSystem.org steps in. These doctors help other physicians start a new weight loss practice or incorporate such services in their existing practices. "More people trained in the right way of losing weight translates to more patients getting the right weight loss treatment." says Dr. Nwe. "If any physician is interested in opening a weight loss clinic but does not know how to, they can contact us."
Dr. Sandeep Grewal and Dr. Myo Nwe are the founders of Ace Medical Weight Loss Center, the inventors of the SlimPlate System and its related mobile apps. Dr. Nwe is a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine and Internal Medicine. Dr. Grewal a diplomate of the American Board of International Medicine. He has been named one of Charlotte Business Journals Forty Under 40, received the magazines 2012 Innovation in Health Care award and Vitals Top 10 Doctor 2013 award.
(PRWEB) December 02, 2013
The American Society of Bariatric Physicians (ASBP), the leading association for clinical physicians and other providers dedicated to the comprehensive medical treatment of patients affected by obesity and associated conditions, recently launched the first-ever comprehensive algorithm that navigates the physician's role in medically treating and caring for patients affected by obesity. Dr. Jenny Seger, who heads up the medical weight loss program at the Bariatric Medical Institute of Texas (BMI of Texas) in San Antonio, serves as an ASBP Board Trustee and Co-chair of the Algorithm Committee.
The ASBP Obesity Algorithm, which was developed and written by a group of leading obesity medicine specialists, aims to give all physicians the necessary tools for prescribing and implementing obesity treatment plans for patients. Recommendations based on scientific evidence as well as clinical experience for changes in nutrition, exercise and behavior modification are included in the plans. The algorithm also includes a comprehensive outline of weight loss medications, including the two newest FDA-approved medications Qsymia and Belviq. Surgical options, while not recommended unless a patient has failed to achieve success through a comprehensive medical weight loss approach, are included and outlined in the algorithm.
The ASBP Obesity Algorithm is available as a free download from http://www.ObesityAlgorithm.org and a video podcast about how physicians can use the algorithm is also available on the site. Individuals can search for local obesity medicine specialists at http://www.FindObesityTreatment.org.
The ASBP believes it is no longer acceptable for physicians to recommend an eat less, exercise more approach to weight loss without providing the patient with more specific guidance and direction.
"This new algorithm is exciting because it offers a comprehensive tool for physicians to effectively manage patients affected by obesity in a compassionate, scientifically sound and cost-effective way," said Dr. Seger. An increasing number of patients are seeking weight management treatment options from their primary care providers. Our goal is to provide physicians with an easy-to-use tool to help them discuss and treat their patients obesity.
The algorithm emphasizes patients' overall health and reduction in risk of developing obesity driven diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and cardiovascular disease. In order to effectively treat the patient, the physician needs to fully comprehend the risk the patient is facing, which means more than knowing how much an individual weighs. The algorithm outlines various criteria available to diagnose obesity such as BMI or Body Mass Index, waist circumference, and body composition. Equally important, the algorithm identifies diseases which are directly affected by the presence of sick fat or adiposopathy and/or excess fat. Changes should only be recommended following a review of the patient's current lifestyle, medical history, physical exam and laboratory testing. The algorithm will aid physicians in determining what the optimal treatment plan for a particular patient might include. This is important because each patient is unique and warrants an individualized approach to treatment.
Dr. Jenny Seger is Board Certified in Family Medicine and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. She understands how numerous factors interplay and can lead to obesity. Her specialty training equips her with the knowledge, skills, and desire to address these factors and help her patients lead healthier lives. She heads up the BMI of Texas medical weight loss program, where she assists patients who want to lose weight and improve their overall health. She helps patients who do not want to have weight loss surgery or who do not qualify for surgery and need to lose excess weight. In addition, patients who have stalled in their weight loss after surgery or have regained weight and need to get back on track have found Dr. Segers medical weight loss program to be a valuable tool.
BMI of Texas medical weight loss program starts with an extensive patient interview with Dr. Seger. In addition to conducting a thorough history, a focused physical exam and lab work are performed to determine the patients baseline lab values and identify underlying undiagnosed diseases. Dr. Seger also helps patients determine an exercise program that is both realistic and effective. Upon completion of the initial visit, patients meet with BMI of Texas Registered Dietitian for a complete nutrition assessment and meal plan customized to meet the patients individual needs.
BMI of Texas provides innovative and comprehensive medical and surgical care to patients with obesity and metabolic disease. The physicians and staff are committed to providing care in a supportive, compassionate, and guilt-free environment. In addition to its medical weight loss program, BMI of Texas helps patients achieve their weight loss goals and improved health through various surgical procedures including gastric bypass, lap band and gastric sleeve. BMI of Texas surgeons Dr. Terive Duperier, Dr. Mickey Seger, Dr. Richard Englehardt and the entire BMI of Texas team are dedicated to creating meaningful relationships and experiences with their patients and the community in order to overcome obesity and metabolic disease fostering improved health and a better quality of life.

Founded in 2008, the Bariatric Medical Institute of Texas is focused on helping patients achieve their long-term weight loss goals. More information on the practice can be found online at bmioftexas.com.
Rock Hill, SC (PRWEB) October 22, 2013
Just the words Pancreatic Cancer is enough to send chills down most peoples spines. The new UCLA Study will surely focus a lot of attention on the relationship between obesity and this deadly disease. Besides all of the other health concerns of obesity, this alone may be the motivation to open peoples eyes and successfully lose weight. One of the most successful diet methods is portion control.
Two weight loss physicians have created the SlimPlate System, which is based on a portion control diet. Developed around a five-meal per day plan, the metabolic activity can be maintained at a higher level using the bodys own mechanisms in combination with foods. This new natural weight loss program is described as an easy to follow plan that does not force the user to make any lifestyle changes or sacrifices to lose weight.
The SlimPlate System makes it possible for obese individuals to maintain a sustainable diet plan. The unique aspect of this plan are the Portion Control Plates and other Portion Control Tools that are part of the kit. It is no longer necessary to weigh portions, or look up caloric content. All that a user has to do is keep food items within the clearly delineated colored lines on the tableware. The SlimPlate System solves the problems of portion-control by including a set of plates, cups, bowls and a set of ground-breaking Portion Control Cutting Rings. Anyone can now put together a plate with the correct amount of fruits, grains, vegetables and proteins in each meal.
Items like pancakes, waffles and even sandwiches can be portion-controlled by simply placing one of the exclusive Portion Control Cutting Rings over the food item, and press down to create the perfect portion size. The SlimPlate System was created to help in the battle of obesity, which with the results of the UCLA Study, will hopefully be used by many overweight individuals.
The SlimPlate System was invented by two world-renown weight-loss physicians. Dr. Nwe is a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine and is Board-Certified in Internal Medicine. She co-founded the Ace Medical Weight Loss Center with Dr. Grewal. Sandeep Grewal, M.D. is Board-Certified in Internal Medicine and was the recipient of The Charlotte Business Journals Healthcare Innovator Award for 2013, and also named to the Top Forty Under Forty List in 2013.

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) January 31, 2013
According to the CDC, the percentage of obese children between the age of 6-11increased by 11 percent in 30 years. For adolescents, that rate sat at 18% in 2010. These alarming numbers are creating a flow of school and community programs for healthier dietary choices for children.
The organism of children and young adults is still at a development stage hence their chances of having more complicated health related risks. Bariatric surgeon Dr. Atul Madan reveals that the long-term health effects for obese children could be devastating and can lead to many types of health related issues and eventually cancer. The immediate effects are as destructive and can cause prediabetes and a poor self-esteem.
Society, family, and community can play an important role in the prevention of childhood obesity. The creation of a safe and supportive environment that is centered around practices that lead children to be more active is critical. The earlier children learn about healthy habits, the more chances they will have to reduce their risks of obesity.
Dr. Madan's patient reviews indicates that parents expect government agencies, the media, and the food and beverage industry to play a more responsible and supportive role.
Lapband surgeon Dr. Atul Madan is a world renown expert in the field of weight loss surgeries. His specialties range from laparoscopic gastric bypasses to laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding surgeries. Dr. Madan has occupied the positions of Chief of Laparoendoscopic and Bariatric Surgery Division as well as Director of the Center of Excellence for Laparoscopic and Minimally Invasive
Surgery at the University of Miami. He is a member of all of the important laparoscopic and bariatric societies including American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons, and Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons.
Tarrytown, New York (PRWEB) September 25, 2012
In response to a report released last Tuesday citing alarming forecasted obesity rates in the United States, The Center for Medical Weight Loss (CMWL) is increasing its efforts to encourage physicians to prevent the condition from developing in their patients.
Obesity is absolutely preventable, and reversible, says Dr. Michael S. Kaplan, Founder and Chief Medical Officer of CMWL. With the proper training and experience, physicians can and should attack obesity and overweight head on. By its very nature, obesity is a medical condition, and patients have the best prospects for effectively managing the condition when treated by a trained physician. With more physicians practicing obesity medicine, there is clearly a different path America can take.
The report, F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens Americas Future 2012, which was released by Trust for Americans Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) forecasts the number of obese adults, along with related disease rates and health care costs, is on course to increase dramatically over the next 20 years. The report breaks down obesity-related data by State, and projects that on average 50% of Americans will have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher – the clinical definition of obesity with the associated increases in obesity-related diseases and health care costs.
We are extremely concerned about the latest report and other recent reports that indicate tremendous risk for the country if nothing is done to reverse current obesity trends, says Kevin Eberly, CMWLs Chief Executive Officer. But based on the clinical outcomes weve been able to achieve through the CMWL medical weight loss approach, I am hopeful that the future is not as bleak as it has been painted.
In July 2012, The American Journal of Medicine published a study showing that The Center for Medical Weight Loss was able to achieve an 11.1% reduction in overall body weight among obese patients. The F as in Fat 2012 report suggests that if States implemented steps to reduce average BMI by just 5% by the year 2030, the country would see dramatic decreases in health care costs.
In my conversations with clinicians, corporate business leaders, and policymakers, it is clear that obesity is the root cause of pain on multiple levels, says Eberly. If left unchecked, as the recent report states, the number of new cases of Type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke, arthritis, and hypertension is expected to increase ten times by 2020, and then double again by 2030. And the projected increases in health care costs and lost productivity due to obesity are just as astounding, rising up to $ 66 billion and $ 540 billion, respectively. These numbers can no longer be ignored if the country wishes to remain competitive.
Recently Medicare and private insurers have taken steps to incentivize the practice of obesity medicine among US doctors, specifically by offering coverage for obesity counseling for patients with a BMI of 30 or higher. The US Preventive Services Task Force also recently recommended that doctors screen all adult patients for obesity, and provide counseling to those who fall into that category.
Clearly the government and private business are acknowledging the critical role physicians need to play to reverse the projected obesity trends, said Eberly. Theyve taken steps in the right direction, but we clearly have a long way to go. Now we just need more physicians to learn how to effectively care for their obese patients, and CMWL can help them do just that.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 05, 2012
hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Weight Loss Programs announces a low cost, medically supervised hCG weight loss program in an effort to help fight obesity.
A published analysis released in January in the Journal of Health Economics states that an additional $ 190 billion a year, or 20.6 percent, in medical spending is added to the total U.S. healthcare costs as a result of obesity.
In an effort to permanently change their patients body composition, hCGTreatments / Diet Docs offers one of the most cost-effective medically- supervised hCG weight loss programs in America. Now recognized by doctors as a complex metabolic disease and not only a risk factor, obesity occurs when excess calorie consumption overwhelms the bodys ability to expend calories as energy which will cause long-term health problems over time. There are a number of factors that can contribute to taking in too many calories but the best way to avoid this by first following a well-balanced diet.
Diet Docs medically-supervised program uses daily treatments of the hCG hormone combined with a personalized ketogenic diet. This diet, which consists of high fat, leafy green vegetables, lean protein and minimal simple carbohydrates, is found to be safe and effective due to its scientifically proven methods. In a study published in
2005 in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, researchers examined the difference in weight loss success in ketogenic diets versus low-fat diets. Despite eating more total calories, the ketogenic diet group lost more fat than the low-fat diet. In addition to a personalized diet plan, Diet Docs patients receive unlimited support from their specially- trained weight-loss coach, nutritionists and doctors. They are there to monitor progress and to make sure each patient stays on track with weekly follow-up calls.
With the rising costs of healthcare, hCGTreatments / Diet Doc has made their weight loss program more cost-effective for those in need to getting their health on track. Our weight loss plans aim to fix the problems that are causing bad eating habits and to get our patients on a healthy diet and living an active lifestyle so they can avoid the health problems that are associated with obesity, states Dr. Rao, Medical Director for Diet Doc. Getting to a healthy weight may be the start to good health but making life-long dietary and lifestyle changes are the real solution and Diet Doc aims to help their patients do just that.

Healthcare Reform Puts Pressure on Hospital HR Execs
The quality of those hires matters, as well. With the reimbursement structures of the PPACA more aligned with patient experience and the quality of patient care, hospital HR executives are figuring out strategies to not only recruit at a high volume, while keeping costs low, but to make strategic decisions with the patient experience in mind.
When asked about current HR initiatives to improve patient satisfaction 80% of respondents said they are working to improve employee satisfaction, followed by 78% who said they are working to create a culture of employee accountability, and 70% who said they are focusing on improving the patient experience (70%). Survey respondents could choose multiple answers.
To improve patient safety, another key element of the PPACA, 79% of hospital HR professionals said one of their initiatives was to improve workforce education and development, followed by 66% who said they are working to improve employee satisfaction.
The biggest challenge to achieving their HR initiatives is the perception that there are too many competing initiatives 72% of respondents said. Slightly fewer, 65%, said there isn't enough time for projects.

The news briefs are full of these reports.

After last week's Christmas in the Park festivities, the city of Hinesville continued its seasonal celebration Friday with the 15th annual Illuminated Christmas Parade. Seventy-five bright and colorful floats, cars and trucks cruised through downtown Hinesville from the traffic circle on Memorial Drive to Gen. Screven Way to Hendry Street to Main Street, drawing cheers and applause from the crowd of onlookers that gathered along the route.
Liberty Countians and visitors got a chance to learn the history of Fort Morris and the Midway Museum while celebrating the holidays on Saturday.
Walthourville residents were greeted with smiles, hot chocolate and refreshments Dec. 2 as Mayor Daisy Pray, Councilwoman Patricia Green and staff hosted their first Christmas tree-lighting ceremony.
Air Force Airman 1st Class Chrysalis L. Martin graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.

Let's say you are a filmmaker. How would you pay homage to more than three decades of blockbuster films? How would you pay tribute to the director who has delivered game-changing pictures such as "Jaws," "E.T.," and "The Goonies"? Well, if you're J.J. Abrams, you achieve those things by making "Super 8," the film now available on DVD and Blu-ray.

The Christmas season officially has begun. (I don't count retailers' efforts to sell Christmas decorations starting in July.) It is December now, so we really are getting close to the big day.

Executive Summary
Anyone, who works in the web development or manages web development, knows the hottest, and perhaps never ending debate is PHP vs. Microsoft's .NET. It is like religious divide that is hard to overcome - both sides are adamant that they have the best technologies for the web development. As someone deeply involved in the development of a number of Web Application, at Rapidsoft Systems one has to deal with this question almost on the weekly basis. So, here are the thoughts on the issue. But, before one delves deeper in more details - it is important to understand the core features of each technology.

Barclays Capital provides an overview of the equity derivatives flows and products that contribute to dealers' correlation exposures, presenting several strategies that allow investors, of all types, to take advantage of the resultant opportunities
One of the most talked-about metrics in the world of equity derivatives currently is correlation. While the basic intuition behind the metric is quite straightforward, correlation risks and exposures can be significant. Indeed, dealers have focused much time and effort into managing correlation risk. Moreover, many of these efforts have been aimed at isolating this risk to make it more efficient to trade.

Macklemore apologizes for costume seen by some as anti-Semitic
(photo credit:TWITTER)
Seattle rapper Macklemore apologized late on Monday for wearing a costume that he acknowledged could be ascribed to a Jewish caricature and said it was not his intention to mock the Jewish people.The half of the Grammy-winning hip-hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis sought to defuse criticism on social media that the costume he chose to wear to a Seattle museum event last Friday was anti-Semitic - with its large nose, black beard and wig.After Macklemore tweeted that it was a random costume, actor Seth Rogen, who is Jewish, tweeted back "really?? Because if I told someone to put together an anti Semitic Jew costume, they'd have that exact shopping list."In his statement, Macklemore said he was "absolutely not the person described in certain headlines today" and went on to explain how he chose the disguise to blend in with the crowd before his performance."I acknowledge how the costume could, within a context of stereotyping, be ascribed to a Jewish caricature," said the 30-year-old rapper whose real name is Ben Haggerty."I am here to say that it was absolutely not my intention, and unfortunately at the time I did not foresee the costume to be viewed in such regard."The rapper, who won plaudits for backing gay rights through the duo's hit song "Same Love," ended his statement by saying "I truly apologize to anybody that I may have offended" and urged people to check out the work of the Anti-Defamation League that has fought anti-Semitism since 1913.

A more romantic variation on Clerks, Detroit Unleaded charts the budding relationship between Lebanese-American gas station owner Sami (EJ Assi) and his beautiful cousin Naj (Nada Shouhayib).
After his father is killed in a robbery, Sami is compelled to take over the family's Detroit-slums business with his ambitious cousin Mike (Mike Batayeh). Naj and Sami's meet-cute takes place in "the cage," the area located behind the counter and bulletproof-glass partition, and that space provides a fitting metaphor for Sami's feelings of being trapped in a life he didn't choose.
Director Rola Nashef's visuals can be clunky, and her script's conversational dialogue is occasionally stilted. Nonetheless, she draws her characters in sharp lines, so that the gaggle of customers who frequent Sami's workplace — or Naj's girlfriends, who in one scene exhibit clearly defined and distinctive personalities — feel not like types but, rather, like diverse individuals.

Region: East Village
That's also true of Sami and Naj, whose goofing-around rapport has a sweetness that makes up for the somewhat sketchy particulars of their coupling, and helps sell their amour as more than merely a narrative device.
Moreover, the tensions that soon arise from the domineering sexism of Naj's brother provides a cultural-critique undercurrent that bolsters the film's endearing portrait of young lovers in search of joint escape.

Day Spa reviews in Wilmington
They are offer rock bottom last minute deals which are uninjectable. Sometimes I can go in and get Botox for $9 a unit. Their specials are amazing. They are great. They are very kind and provide great services. They answer all my questions and I walk away feeling like I have learned something. Their staff is really nice and great."
My results have been phenomenal. Anyone who has rosecea knows how awful and embarrassing it is. I have had beet red, blotchy skin and an acne-like condition for two decades. To make matters worse, my skin is so sensitive that I can't use cosmetics of any kind, also part and yesterday I went to drop off some stuff to my neighbor and after giving me a good, hard looking over, she said, "You look fantastic. I've never seen you wear make-up before." I wasn't wearing make-up. I was stunned and nearly cried. I haven't had a complement on my skin since I was a child. You won't be disappointed at "
I am really happy with the botox. They also did laser resurfacing and I didn't see any difference at all. I think I just wasted $800. It took a long time too. They do botox, rejuvenation on the skin and they also do laser treatment. I would say go get your botox there but watch out for the other stuff. They stay in touch with me and email me. They are easy to get an appointment with. The office is really nice and lovely. The staff is very friendly. They all have accents and I have to really tune in but the communication was okay. The procedure that I had done wasn't very effective. They said it will take a few months but it's been a few months and I "
They did a good and thorough consultation. They recently upgraded to the new lasers which shows that they are staying on top of the new technology. They were good about sharing and explaining how the process works."
The massage itself was great. However, the set up of the "spa" leaves something to be desired. Serenity is located in a strip mall. You wait for your massage at the front desk -- there is no separate waiting room where you can relax and transistion from the busy- massage rooms are simply converted offices. Although the light in the room was on a dimmers and there was relaxing music playing, the room was not sound proof. I was able to hear what was going on at the reception desk during my massage, which was not very relaxing.
The therapist was great, but the ambiance was not. There aren't many choices in "

-beautiful store.-very professional feel but still friendly.-they really seem to care about waxing and make themselves out to be experts on the process.-prices are great--the services I received often cost $150 or more at other salons and come in just around$100 here. -they will tell you about packages/passes you can buy to save money and will suggest them if you come in on a regular basis.-Overall would recommend to anyone.-This is a local franchise--these places are huge on the east coast and growing like crazy.

Flaming Gorge
Fishing report
- Rating: Good
- Conditions: Kokanee salmon: Fishing is fair to good. Schools of fish are moving deeper (40 to 65 feet) and are picky about lures. Try starting out with silver-colored flashers and pink and orange lures. Keep mixing it up until you find the right combination. If the schools are deep, try jigging with a small jigging spoon or trolling by just above the school.
Rainbow trout: Most anglers report good fishing. Spoons, jigs, crankbaits and common trout baits (like worms) work well from the shore or a boat. We've received reports of small schools cruising the shoreline. Fishing is good off rocky points and inlets, and in the backs of some of the bays. Anglers are also catching rainbows while fishing for lake trout, kokanee and bass.
Lake trout: Fishing is fair to good. You can find schools, small groups and single fish anywhere, but anglers are mostly catching them in deeper waters. If you mark a group, try holding position and then drop a vertical presentation, like a jigging spoon (chartreuse) or three-inch tube jig (white). Tip your lure with a small chunk of sucker meat and vary jigging activity until you learn the fish's behavior. You may also want to try trolling through or just above the school, at depths around 45 to 75 feet. Try different crankbaits or brightly colored spoons. Deep trolling right on the bottom with small, white crankbaits or flatfish is also working well. Please keep your limit of small, tasty lake trout. It reduces competition among species and helps both the lake trout and kokanee fisheries.
Smallmouth bass: Fishing is good to excellent for the smaller fish (10-20 feet down) and larger fish below. Reports are the darker, crayfish-colors in just about any kind of bass lure is working well including flies, grubs, worms, crankbaits and spoons. If they aren't hitting, try going smaller and working it down close to the bottom.
Burbot: Anglers report fair to good fishing starting just before midnight in 50 to 75 feet of water and moving shallower. Burbot will hit during the day, generally in the deeper waters (around 75 feet). They become more active, however, during the evening and twilight hours when they move into the shallows to forage. Try fishing for a few hours, starting around sunset, along the rocky points, cliffs and the old channels. You'll want to fish the bottom or just slightly above it. You should use just about anything that glows (spoons, tube jigs, curly-tailed jigs, minnow, jigging spoons) and tip our lure with some type of bait. (Cut bait, like sucker meat, is recommended.) Worms with a marshmallow placed about 6 to 12 inches above the weight have worked recently. Place your lure or bait within inches of the bottom and recharge the glow frequently. It is common to catch a fish immediately after recharging and dropping a lure. You'll help the Flaming Gorge fishery (including kokanee) by harvesting as many burbot as possible. There is no limit on burbot.
