New mayoral election ordered in Hattiesburg
A judge has ordered a new election in the dispute over who won the June 4 contest for mayor of Hattiesburg.
WDAM reported that Judge William Coleman granted a motion by attorneys for independent candidate Dave Ware calling for a special election.
Coleman, appointed by the state Supreme Court to hear the dispute, said absentee ballots in the June 4 election must be thrown out. Ware had raised objections over how they were handled.
Ware faced incumbent Johnny DuPree in that election. DuPree is a Democrat.
A date for a special election will have to be set by Gov. Phil Bryant.

Thank you for visiting Gary Investing Blog
Wednesday, December 19, 2012
earlier this month about its breakout of ascending triangle, it has already been appreciated more than 10%. Now, I think there is an exhaustion because prices are starting to leave upper Bband with smaller and smaller volume. And take a look when last time MACD was at such high level, the stock prices first started with leaving upper Bband then with having a huge drop. Yup. Therefore, I think if you long FLSR, you should liquidate partial of your positions. P.S. RSI at overbought level and MACD histogram is falling.

Malaysia Airlines
Talking Points: Russian Aggression & The MH17 Tragedy
On Wednesday of last week, President Barack Obama announced economic sanctions to punish Russia for supplying arms to the rebels in Ukraine. The very next day the Malaysian Airliner was shot down.
Rep. Kline Calls Russian Behavior 'Way Beyond The Pale'
U.S. Rep. John Kline talked about the Malaysian Airlines disaster, school lunches and more with Esme Murphy on WCCO Sunday Morning.
Good Question 'Reply All': Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Edition
It's been 10 days since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared. Since that time, it seems like most everyone has a theory about what happened to the Boeing 777 on its way from Kuala Lampur to Beijing. Many WCCO-TV viewers have sent in their Good Questions on everything from the logistics to how planes work to why people never made phone calls. So, we thought we'd answer some of the Good Questions we've heard throughout the week.
Good Question: How Can A Plane Just Disappear?
It's been almost three days since a Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 239 passengers vanished over Southeast Asian waters. On Monday, at least 75 ships and planes from several countries have been searching a 115-mile area around where the Boeing 777 disappeared from radar.

With chiropractic doctorates that crown undergraduate educations in human biology, Doctors of Chiropractic Jarrod Lippy and Joshua Levin bring wisdom and experience to their practice and to their philosophy, which integrates the health of both mind and body and centers around preventative care. The duo perform their back-mending services with the latest in high-tech equipment, including computerized spinal analyses, electrical muscle stimulation, and hydromassage, during which patients lie fully clothed inside a water-massage bed or beneath white-water rapids as pressurized jets assuage tension. The doctors focus on each patient individually, employing their extensive experience in personal and work injuries, lower-back pain, and arthritis to properly diagnose maladies, perform adjustments, and refer patients to additional specialists if necessary.
A trained and licensed acupuncturist, Marina Gan seeks to share the same ancient Chinese medicine that has so deeply affected her own life. Marina approaches acupuncture as a partnership between herself and her patients—a collaborative relationship founded with the common goal of identifying and counteracting troublesome imbalances in the client's body or teetering Jenga tower. After such imbalances have been discovered, Gan goes to work on the grounds of the Ruscombe Mansion Community Health Center, a palatial country home built on the estate of the famous Quaker abolitionist James W. Tyson.
Aesthetics by Katzen provides medically supervised cosmetic treatments for a variety of skin conditions. The enzyme treatment and chemical peel duo is an intensive facial treatment for muscle masks long worn down by workaday worries, sun damage, and constant attacks from gibbons. To start, the aesthetician will provide an enzyme treatment (a $45 value) to rejuvenate damaged skin and prep your face for the next treatment. Immediately following this is the chemical peel; choose from a lactic 15% peel ($50), a mild exfoliation that retains moisture and is ideal for dry, dehydrated, or sun-damaged skin, or the glycolic 30% peel ($65), which helps to tighten and tone skin suffering from uneven texture or unbalanced tone. The chemical peels are not as harsh as some, and require no downtime after leaving the practice. The treatments must be spaced out by at least one week.
Founded in 1999, The NephCure Foundation strives to improve treatment and find a cure for the potentially debilitating kidney diseases nephrotic syndrome and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, or FSGS. Held at the Pier 5 Hotel, the Countdown to a Cure benefit offers an opulent and altruistic evening in support of the foundation's unique medical mission. The VIP evening beings with an open-bar cocktail reception at 5:30 p.m., followed by a dinner at 6:30 p.m. prepared by Bryan Sullivan, executive chef at Harbor Magic Hotels.
Since 1961, The Flower Cart, Inc. has blanketed the Baltimore area in fresh floral arrangements for all occasions. Holiday centerpieces aglow with crimson roses and twinkling candles brighten pie-laden tables, whereas anniversary bouquets use white button-spray chrysanthemums to say all the things that peanut-butter-filled mouths can't. With a range of bestsellers for $35 and under, The Flower Cart, Inc. promises elegant still-life subjects for practiced pointillists and verdant houseplants for innovative performance artists. Sneeze-prone flora fans can get a pollen-free flower fix with an array of fruit and gift baskets stuffed with fresh produce and aromatic coffee.
Center for Vein Restoration has recruited a staff of highly accredited surgeons and licensed medical staffers across 20 locations in Maryland, Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia, all focused on offering minimally invasive, same-day outpatient clinical solutions that target varicose veins and spider veins. Board-certified doctors on staff are trained to treat patients who suffer from leg pain and other symptoms of varicose veins. While spider veins?which are typically a cosmetic blight?may be treated with sclerotherapy, varicose veins often require a more involved treatment, such as laser ablation?an outpatient surgical procedure. Aiming to make treatments as minimally invasive as possible, the doctors on staff can also prescribe lifestyle changes for less serious cases, which may include following exercise and nutrition plans or wearing compression stockings.

You could circumnavigate in almost anything. The odds of completing the trip go up with the quality of the boat. A true offshore cruising boat would means different things to different people. If you look at the different custom boats built specifically for certain cruisers you will find them built out of steel, aluminum or even cold-moulded. They generally have small cockpits, a rugged sail plan and heavy duty rudders among other attributes. There just isn't much of a market for cruisers as experienced wealthy cruisers are fussy and particular. Some will want fin keels and some long keels. Some Ketches, some Cutters ans some want Fractional rigs. Note that for day sailing and close to shore you would want large cockpits for entertaining or racing, large interiors for dockside pleasure and fiberglass for light weight, ease of maintenance and manufacture.
There are a few builders that come the closest to a true world cruiser. I don't know them all but a few are Amel, Valiant, Westsail. Others will chime in on some they know about.

Tomorrow DD I'm gonna try...
not eating. Just having liquids: my morning mocha, chicken broth, Tomato juice, coffee, tea, LOTS of water. I'm doing really well, but I want to make sure my weigh in on Friday is a good one. Plus I just want to see if I now have the ability to do it. Give my body some healing time without the stress of digesting.
Who knows whether I can actually do it, but like the Little Engine....I THINK I CAN!
:jumpjoy: :laugh: :jumpjoy: << my new found energy!
You can do it. I have done so many times. I think just liquids does give the body a rest.
You can totally do it, and if it doesn't work out, you haven't done anything "bad", ya know?
Even though I totally haven't had enough fluids today, I feel ya on the ENERGY! I just rearranged my whole dining room (planning a brunch for FIFTEEN people, sit down, omg).
Some dds I'm ravenous, but the last 2 or 3, I've been totally fine on just water/tea all day, and could take or leave dinner. I took it, but easily could've just kept up with maybe some soup.
Have fun with your experiment!
Thanks Adi and Soren, I'm gonna give it a shot. Even though I've lost weight with LC, I know at times I was still eating too much. Since I've been on JUDDD
overeating feels yucky... so far. I know that doesn't mean I never will....I'm taking one day at a time. When you learn about the whole digestive process and how that can effect your overall health, a day here and there without any solid food makes sense to me.
In the evenings on some DD's my mind wanders to food but I think its mostly a bad habit and not because of real hunger. One thing I was able to do on LC was stop binging at night. But I would have some kind of LC snack or dessert sometimes. So I think its just a habit that I think is getting less and less an issue.
Judd really has changed the way I think about food. I'll always like food, but I don't love it anymore. I don't obsess about it and I don't think I'll die if I feel a hunger pang! This is saying A LOT for me. Oh....how I could eat eat eat in the past.
Thats for your advice and encouragement. Having this forum has been HUGE in keeping on track.
I think everybody who does not have physiological reasons that mean they have to eat solid food should try a liquid fast day from time to time. Or even a complete fast day.
It gives the body a break. It invokes sirtuin proteins big time for many people. Most importantly (to me) when a disaster interrupts your life and all you have time to do is grab the water bottle, you know hunger is not an emergency. You know you will be able to think and function and concentrate on the things that are really important.
I look forward to hearing how tomorrow goes!
I tried to fast yesterday, but ended up having such a bad headache. I ate half a sandwich at 6:30 pm...headache was gone in 30 minutes.
I think I may try to do protein shakes tomorrow...sounds like a good plan for me.
After worrying I wouldn't meet my UD calories today, I went over! :annoyed: Tomorrow I'll be shooting for an all-liquid DD myself.
I've done full liquid fasts before, with water, tea, coffee and protein shakes. I find it easier to plan and you feel really good the next day.
Let us know how it goes for you! :D
Since beginning this new WOE I've considered buying some protein shakes but don't know what will taste okay. Years ago when I tried them I thought they tasted awful. I'd rather drink water than some crappy concoction in a can....LOL
What is good nowadays? I want it to taste just like a milkshake! :hyst:
I don't know if any canned ones will taste that good but you can make some low cal shakes in your blender such as:
1/4 cup canned pumpkin
1 T plain FF Greek yogurt
1/4 cup unsweetened vanillla almond milk
1 T walden Farms 0 calorie pancake syrup
Some cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, splenda
1 t gluc powder
4-5 ice cubes
Blend till smooth and creamy- I haven't done this since summer so don't recall exact calories off hand, but that's easy to figure out.
There have been many threads in the past with shake recipes. If I find any I'll link them here.
Yes u can! It's process.
Speaking of my own up and down 15 # last few years.
Keep busy- if u get to stay home- and stay on too much like I do sometimes.
Go somewhere fun u like-get ur mind off food a few mins, hour.
I want to have. Thread about this very thing.
I hope to post soon.
Keeping our minds activity.
U can do this, we have to.
I buy the Pure Protein shakes in aluminum bottles and I like them. I get them in a four pack at Wal-MArt. I think they are 120 calories. Great for when I am somewhere that I can't take my own food.
Here is a version of my recipe
This is my DD pumpkin shake:
1/4 cup pumpkin- 20 c
2 Tbs sugar free maple syrup- 5-10 c or 0 cal walden farms pancake syrup
1/4 cup vanilla unsweetened almond milk- 10 c
Davinchi SF syrup (just a little and I use different flavors)- 0
Cinnamon- 0
Nutmeg- 0
ez-sweetz 2-3 drops- 0
1 Tbs Walden Farms marshmellow dip- 0
1/2 tsp gluc powder- 5
4-5 ice cubes- 0
High estimate 40-50 calories
Blend for about 1 minute
I think the brand I get when I'm in the US is the same as Adi -- Pure Protein, in a can that looks like a bottle (?)-- lower in cals, tastes pretty good!
I get them at Target, only b/c I'm traveling and the store is really near the hotel I stay at :)
Also, they come in a 4 pack so it's not a huge commitment. DON"T SHAKE THEM, there's a bit of gas in them (freshness, I assume, b/c they're not carbonated) but they will explode a bit like a soft drink if you shake them :p
So far its going very well, but its still early here.
I've had my morning mocha and 3 cups of water. Not feeling hungry at all. I usually don't get very hungry until later in the afternoon on DD's anyway, so I'm waiting to see what happens as the day goes on. I really think I can do this. It will be an amazing accomplishment for me. I don't remember EVER not eating food for a day.
Staying busy with doing my xmas cards and cleaning around here getting ready to decorate.
Still hanging in there. Its 3 p.m. here and I'm fine. At noon I had 6 oz of tomato juice and some black coffee. And I just had a cup of chicken broth. It really hit the spot.
I made some SF jello just in case I want something sweet later. Its not liquid but pretty darn close! And very low calorie.
I'm staying busy...I've got a lot of cleaning done today. I'm amazed at the energy I have today. Where's that coming from??? :jumpjoy:
Yes, the energy is great, isn't it? I got my deep cleaning and decorating completely done in 2 days. Last year it took probably 5 days, lots of breaks, and I needed help getting up and down the step stool to hang. Not this year! Tonight I went to Mom's - my lil bro and I started doing her decorating and I think I wore her out - I was a whirling dervish. Got quite a lot of it done though. I think we can finish tomorrow, easily!
No eating just drinking. It got pretty hard round 6 or 7 but I had more broth, and then some SF cocoa. Drank LOTS of water. Definitely a DDPP day...haha.
But I DID IT! Not sure if I'll try it again. I like having a little something in my tummy on DD days. keeps me from thinking too much about food.
I'm getting ready to have a nice breakfast. I am hungry, but not as much as I thought I would be.
WTG Jan! I'm not sure I'll ever try that!
Thanks LCG :)
I doubt if I'll do it again. It got harder as the day went on.
So far it hasn't shown a big benefit on the scales. My official weigh in is tomorrow so we will see.
I'll try and eat all my calories today, so will have to have some nuts and CO because I don't want to eat a lot today.
I am not drinking enough water. There I said it. Today I will drink at least 60 oz of water. I don't think I want to do a liquid DD, however. I tried that with the shakes and they seemed to make me hungrier! Maybe one day I will...never say never. :)
Good job Jaylynn!
Thanks LG :)
I've always been a big water drinker. I always have my water and my chapstick no matter where I go...LOL
I'm very happy I got through yesterday. I had a great breakfast this morning. I used to eat, on LC, eggs, bacon, Flax muffin with SF jam for breakfast along with my morning mocha. Now it really fills me up and I can't finish that same amount of food.
I think, IMO-- don't make anything harder than it has to be. Do what you like, so if you want to experiment around with all liquid or whatever, by all means. But, the plan is pretty simple. Eat, don't eat as much, eat, don't eat as much. Enjoy ;)
re: amount of food. I agree-- I'm good with just a bit of bacon now, not the 6pcs I used to eat (plus 3 eggs, etc, etc). Though I do like a big bowl of cereal ;)
I've thought about having cereal again, but I'll wait until I'm down some more. I low carbed for so long I don't want to overdo it. I hope that as the weight continues to come off I won't be so darn carb sensitive.
I am still working on a DD plan. Broth doesn't do it, protein shakes don't do it, mini meals don't do it. SIRT is nowhere to be seen. :D :D Hope I can do a fat fast tomorrow and it will work. :)
I think in the beginning I was so excited at being able to eat whatever I wanted eod, that I lost sight of also having to FAST eod. :D :D Even with the prospect of "tomorrow", sometimes "today" is unbearable. I hope I can work through this and become a born-again JUDDD. :D
LG-- a few things that I've found that help me with DDs:
1) don't eat. I've found that if I keep busy as long as possible, I don't need to eat till dinnertime. Once I do eat, I seem to want to keep on, if what I have isn't satisfying. So I plan the 1 dd meal to be pretty good-- lots of protein, veggies, lower fat. I usually get some dessert too, generally a fruit or berries, maybe with some walden farms marshmellow "dip" (0 cal). Then more water and go to bed early.
2) caffeine. I really don't usually have any, I'm super sensitive (wait till one day I get all hopped up and come here and post! it's a doozy...) BUT on DDs, I can manage a mug of black tea, or a whole liter of green tea (I like my tea iced, usually).
I find it VERY helpful-- both b/c it's a lot of fluid, and the caffeine just helps me feel less hungry and more mentally alert.
3) super low cal snacks if I totally cave-- pickles, olives, beets... just a couple bites and I'm good to go.
I've tried a lot of what you said you did, and in the end, the above is what works best for me. Everyone's got to experiment to find out, but don't let it defeat you... you can totally rock the DDs!
I didn't weigh yesterday morning, I probably should have like I had planned.But instead I weighed today, my regular weigh in day, and am down another 1.5 -- was hoping for more, but I'll take it.
We went to a nice buffet yesterday and I didn't overeat but I was having a little of everything I wanted. Probably didn't help.
I'm having a good DD today so I'll probably peek at the scales in the morning.
I totally agree with Soren, for me if I just delay eating anything- including cream in coffee I'm fine! I have just now started sipping my first 18 calories of the day and it is almost 6:35pm. I will drink my half packet of diet swiss miss and have a bedtime snack at 9:30pm or so. I'm doing a regular WLM DD today because my weight was way up today. Probably inflamation from my procedure as I'm quite uncomfortable (well in pain, but I won't claim it), but not gonna play around with maintenance levels till this evens out. It's doable- really. The hunger passes- it's never last for longer than 20 minutes. Time it if you have to. Plan on your next down day to delay eating and after 20 minutes if you can't make it have a 30-50 calorie snack ready. I'll bet you can delay eating longer than you think.

Voodoo looks similar to my C&C 35 MKII. We have a ladder on the stern which swings upward when not in use and ties to the stern uppper steel tube in the center of the stern rail. it has an eyes at the top of the ladder when lower which are on pivots to the two plates on the very upper part of the transome so it does not mar the asthetics of the racing stern.

Editor's note: Roger talks to Head of BBC Newsroom, Mary Hockaday, about the BBC's coverage of the death of Margaret Thatcher, listen to Feedback from 5 April 2013.Margaret Thatcher
She was 87 and had been in poor health for a decade. She had been out of power and front line politics for 23 years.
Yet the death of Baroness Thatcher opened debates and wounds which are still raw. Watching the coverage of the parliamentary special sessions, I was struck by the fact that her personality and policies still dominate the Conservative Party, and that many of her opponents still haven't forgiven her. Former cabinet ministers, men of course, looked back on their - and her - golden days and chortled at the affectionate but pointed anecdotes. Elsewhere there were demonstrations against the so called "Wicked Witch".
I'm not sure of how much interest this was to the younger generation, for whom Baroness Thatcher is a relatively remote historical figure, rather like Clement Attlee was to mine. And the television documentaries about her did not command great audiences. We don't have access to the radio audience figures yet to see if audiences rose or fell, but a large number of Feedback listeners felt there was too much coverage and that some of it was biased. I discussed these issues with the Head of the BBC Newsroom, Mary Hockaday in this week's Feedback.
On a personal front, I was the editor of BBC TV current affairs programmes, like Panorama and Nationwide, and of ITV's This Week, for much of Mrs Thatcher's premiership.
Indeed I produced some of Panorama's coverage of her election campaign for party leader in 1975 and saw the condescension with which she was at first treated by some of her colleagues, who called her "Nanny" behind her back, and rolled their eyes to us waiting hacks as they posed for a photo call outside her then home in Chelsea.
I greatly admired the way she fought against such ingrained sexual prejudice, but often found myself in trouble with No 10. At one stage her press office said she was "Beyond Fury" with one of my programmes. She "hated,hated,hated" television interviews but when they were over, with a glass of whisky by her side, would stay on for an hour or two telling us how to run our business. She really enjoyed a spirited debate.
She did one such tv interview later in the same day that she had met Mikhail Gorbachev for the first time and realised he was a man "she could do business with". After the recording she pumped us for information about him and was clearly fascinated by such a different Soviet leader. She was immediately aware of the possibilities for improved East/West relations that his emergence opened up.
Whenever I met Mrs Thatcher I was struck by two things. The first was the clarity of mind and piercing intelligence she brought to those issues in which she was interested. The second was her frequent lack of interest in new ideas and her ignorance of much of the arts, and of Irish history.
She was never less than polite, even after a heated argument, but she was the despair of her cabinet colleagues on many occasions and her fall did not come as a surprise, except to her and her closest colleagues.
Roger Bolton
•Listen to this week's Feedback
All posts are reactively-moderated and must obey the house rules.
Join the discussion...
Whatever their views of her politics, people have a right to object to the obscene amounts of money being spent on what is a state funeral in all but name. If you are able to find the time to broadcast assinine interviews with ex-Ministers describing how sexy they found her ankles, surely you can find time to discuss the issue which is really angering people. Furthermorem I'm not one, but younger people pay taxes as well, and it is very patronising to assume they don't have an opinion on how those taxes are spent. Finally, bowing to political censorship is pathetic and cowardly and not what I expected of the BBC.
Just as you try to present yourselves as the Vox Populai of Britain and as you accept funds from the public,you must represent the wishes of said public-If the charts show the that silly song "Ding,dong the witch is dead" and others stating public opinion,you must present it in full it reminds me of reading how the beeb,turned down an incredible video by David Bowie.You must present the will of the masses,we still remember your mistakes,like the fact you cannot seem to work with another search engine but the bug ridden IE and you have not corrected it these past 5 months or the fact you kept quiet about that announcer's abuse of all and sundry and you've kept mum about it until he died.Quit making mistakes!! I am planning of setting up a group on Facebook to cancel the TV license because you are overpaid underworked and an old boys club-we are all watching.
Definitely too much coverage and clear evidence that Ms Hockaday is contemptuous of the views of Feedback listeners. She started off a bit "shaky" by refusing to go into detail about the programmes prepared for broadcast in the event of Mrs Thatcher's death. She then fell off a cliff by responding: "That's a hypothetical question" to a perfectly valid question. What was she expecting Mr Bolton to say: "Blow me over, you're right about that. Why don't you just say anything you'd like to say while I nod appreciatively?" Well, he didn't. The situation improved for her when she explained the sound reasoning behind the decision to air an interview with Gerry Adams. Still, the amount of time devoted to Thatcher on Radio 4 has been way too much, though PM's item on her quote "there is no such thing as society" was a good listen.
Any more programmes about Thatcher and I might just listen to 5.5 hours of Wagner on Radio 3 this Saturday for some light relief!
I agree that Mary Hockaday was very shaky on Feedback, had it not been a slow-ish news week. I'm fairly sure (so why she wasn't I don't know) that we wouldn't have been subjected to endless discussion and news reports on the days following Margaret Thatcher's death (it makes you wish the Royal pregnancy have come along a few months later!) I opted out of listening to live radio altogether after one day, and have only turned on for specific programmes since (and I even went for some of the 5.5 hours of Wagner on Radio Three!)
I've found almost everything I've heard on the BBC, about the late ex-PM, to be based on implicit premises which are faulty:
a) It is generally agreed and settled, that whether or not a great people many people were adversely affected by the politics she represented, what her governments did was essential, and that there really was no alternative. (It is not).
b) That irrespective of politics, the settled public consensus is, that as a person and a woman she had outstanding and admirable personal attributes. (That's very much a matter of opinion).
c) The BBC is therefore entitled to speak on behalf of the public, as if the latter generally held these views. (No it is not)
Incidentally, I note that the various BBC discussion threads on her legacy, where the public seemed to me to be saying to each other, things at variance, with what the BBC said to the public the latter thought about her, have been closed and removed from prominence.
Whatever criticism one might have of BBC coverage it can't be as bad as a channel 4 tribute the other night which allowed outrageous & fundamentally incorrect assertions about her interperetation of economics made by a contributor to go unchallenged
First, thank you Eddy from Waring for mentioning this blog.
The BBC is not there to tell the British public what and how to think.
The BBC is there to reflect what the British people think.
The BBC's coverage of the amount of hatred from millions of how this woman acted in her time as a ' politician' has been woeful.
It has been shameful how the positive comments about her views have dominated.
Devisive in life, devisive in death.
Many are losing benefits this week to save money.
Then the government (who approved it ?) is spending £10m of public money in celebration.
I am very much afraid that the BBC has 'had its day' as far as being an independent news gathering and reporting organisation is concerned. The amount of time dedicated to the 'positive' aspects of the late Margaret Thatcher's government has been out of all proportion to the things she actually did whilst in power.
Granted, she was the first female Prime Minister we had, but notwithstanding that fact, she was also a very divisive and much feared and disliked politician, and you have failed to reflect any of that opinion. It is not the role of the BBC to "interpret" the feelings of the is nation, it is your job to report them - warts and all. If that means telling the truth, then that is what you must do.
I was also dismayed to see you play into the hands of extremists and ban an innocuous song, which was written for a musical film and has nothing to do with the late Prime Minister. You have now made the rather tenuous link between her and the song permanent, and you will be remembered for doing so every bit as much as you will be remembered for caving in on the issue of whether or not to play it. That decision isn't yours to make, and you seem to be forgetting what decisions you should and shouldn't be making far too often these days.
If you want the kind of 'freedom to interpret' that you seem to be showing all too often these days, then I'm afraid you will have to reconsider your funding model, as the one you currently enjoy simply does not support, or allow for, this level of "judgement" on your part.
There was a time when I would have supported the BBC against any and all critics, but I find myself increasingly drawn to the 'dark side' and think the license fee should be scrapped, and the BBC left to survive in the real world like the rest of us.
Dear BBC,
It may be increasing old age but I fear that the BBC is becoming less about intelligent and thought-provoking discussion and more about trivial attemps to create headlines. This decline takes several forms:
1. News and current events are increasingly debated by invitees who represent the extreme end positions of any issue - the lunatic fringe one might say. As the more thoughful know the really interesting and subtle arguments are usually to be found closer to the middle ground.
2. The choice of topic is frequently not on the basis of what is truly of consequence, nationally or internationally, but what can be understood by the average journalist. This inevitably sets the intellectual bar rather low. I write as one who has sadly too often seen supposedly intelligent journalists struggle with anything requiring more that two minutes concentration.
3.The BBC (and the media generally) are obsessed with media topics. This, in the BBC's case, frequently takes the form of ritual self-flagellation.
4. Lastly, there is a horrible tendency for BBC interviewers to interrupt (frequently discourteously) anything that looks like becoming interesting - presumably on the basis that it is at least fifteen seconds since we have heard their voice. This is augmented by their desire to 'make a headline' by browbeating some poor fool into saying something ill-advised (John Humphreys a regular offender).
I love the best of the BBC. Please try to raise your standards!
Paul Down
I listened to the World at One on the day Margaret Thatcher died. It highlighted the fact that there is a difference between "News" and "Comment". That Margaret Thatcher had died was news and was rightly included in the headlines along with other news items. However all of the comment on the death preceded details of any other news that day.
Unlike newspapers, where the reader can skip quickly through to items of interest, radio (and television for that matter) has to be taken in the order that the editor presents it. If you have little or no interest in an item, you must still listen until the next item is introduced. I feel that programme editors should bear this in mind which, of course, means being aware of the target audience many of whose views and priorities might well be different.
Of the World at One programme mentioned previously, would it not have been possible to say that comment on Margaret Thatchers death etc. would come later in the programme, possibly with a specific start time? In that way we could have heard the general news and those who wanted to could return to the programme at the specified time for the Thatcher items.
I have just listened to PM and heard the radio orgasm allowed to be blurterd out by Ian McGill. Why is it that whenever Thatcher is discussed an admiring twirp is given the last word. Bye,bye radio 4. Willl not be listening in until this bloody farce is over. Thatcher was a naval gazing bully and her legacy is being continued by puppets like Cameron an this moronic idiots in parliment today.
Today Programme - 17th April
What a remarkable and instructive programme! The transcript would be a gem for any budding North Korean journalist. How the West re-writes history with the help of State broadcasting- and one that is obviously in the hands of a certain BBC class running scared of the Tories.
Thatcher's funeral was the 'news' - apparently. She was a wonderful woman - apparently. The State funeral is not a State funeral -apparently. The PM comes on and defends her in the name of all of us - apparently. And all through this the fawning presenters just let it up flow - possibly wiping their brown noses?. Feigned attempts to ask critical questions by a cast of 'journalists' that would make 'Drop the Dead Donkey' seem too real.
Journalism - North Korean style! An absolute negation of'balance'.Jon Sweeney might as well have stayed at home?
Is there any chance of the transcript being published? I very much doubt it. It would be very instructive however.
Ludo Witt
Well done
The most disappointing aspect of the entire Thatcher debate is the lack of attention to the question of why, unlike every other Prime Minister of the 20th Century apart from Churchill, she merits the disruption and expense of a Ceremonial funeral? Much has been said about her lasting impact on Britain. The focus of the tributes to her provide a very telling indication of the significant divisions in British society that are part of her legacy. Those who believe she saved the country obviously think that the destruction of British manufacturing industry and its replacement in the economy by the service and financial sectors was the right thing to do. So, for many of us, the lasting Thatcher legacy can be characterised by two simple facts. Firstly, that in the depths of this deep recession with 2.5 million unemployed and the most miserable winter for years, the energy companies doubled their profits in the last quarter. Secondly, that little Belgium exported more to India - a Commonwealth country - than the UK in 2012. Still the rich are richer and the poor are poorer so we have to assume that the eulogy writers think that's a price she was prepared to pay.
Fed up with the OTT of The Venerable Maggie's death. The BBC appears to be under the control of Gov/Tories being told what it must cover these days. (implied or directed) A memorial service would have done and served the family better than all the criticism this funerqal has caused.
I object to the lack of normal programming to add to this pseudo paying of respect.
Now that I have been able to swallow my breakfast, following the most awful Today Programme, and the 'rant' in me has been expurgated by a previous post - still being 'referred for further consideration' ( an ominous enough phrase in the circumstances) - I feel bound to acknowledge Cameron's call for 'respect'. Only, on this point, it is 'respect' for the truth and indeed the BBC.
To say that this morning's Today Programme was 'Orwellian' is to do a great disservice to the author. It went beyond what even he could create. 'Newspeak' was meant to be satirical rather than literal, but no-one it seems has thought to inform the Editors and presenters of the programme this morning. That Thatcher was a deeply divisive and ultimately destructive Prime Minister - industry, schools, communities, European integration etc. - is obviously a point of view that some, including myself, hold and with good reason. Blind hatred it is not. Yet, my views, which are shared by many, were entirely written out of the Today script. If the Editors wish to eulogise their hero, by all means do so with programmes where we can avoid the propogandising if we so wish. A 'news' programme is however an entirely different matter and Today got it hopelessly wrong.
I know Orwell would be pleased with the BBC's efforts today. It confirms everything he thought would happen when a 'dictatorship' of the Establishment puts its mind to it. So here we have - a small 'elite' who no doubt were breast-fed on Thatcherism; a son who organises coups with his mother's approval; a daughter who has???;a militaristic funeral that is reminiscent of Stalin rather than Churchill; a band of 'C' list celebrities; foreign dignitaries from the Tea Party side of American politics; people from the 'Countryside' shipped in to line the route; and a police presence that is perhaps a fitting reminder of their role in the Miner's Strike? All this one can just about cope with...the Conservative party needs its heroine.
However, the role of the BBC in this pantomime is less defensible. When 'she saved Britain' is repeated as many times as it has been in the last few days, Orwell's 'Big Brother' takes on an altogether different hue. Dredging up hawkish American politicians and former Thatcherite cabinet ministers, much like the rows of identikit Soviet leaders of yesterday at a Party conference, most of whom appear to be 'preserved' in some sort of embalming ideology, is quite frankly an indictment of the state of the BBC itself.
The negotiations with the hostile Tory government over the licence are obviously playing a part in all this. And if all the fawning produces a positive outcome for Public Service broadcasting it may still be worth it? However, the line appears to have been crossed with the coverage of Thatcher's funeral. The aim to be 'balanced' has been forgone. Orwell RIP.
Ludo Witt
I understand the desire for a public funeral, she was unique, but a state funeral in all but name indicates how closeted and ignorant the government is. The people of Nottingham, Yorkshire, Tyne & Weir and Scotland have no love of her uncaring, southern focused belief system. She cared little for the people, for the needy, for the sick, for the socially deprived. Remember her, but only so that we never ever return to her government style.
P.s. can I have a tax credit for the money I didn't want to spend on Mrs. T's funeral?
Thanks for the address of 'bias', a subject made almost comical as between the right of Thatcher and the left of Blair. This circumstance, sadly, may say as much of accepted 'new ideas' and 'established arts', as of their ignorance. The net of the BBC should be wide enough to catch equal partnership, 'the alternative' of which denial must as ever be forgiven, in charity: "They know not what they do".
With respect to the political figure of Margaret Thatcher, many if not most are now dead or disabled, of those with lives less fortunate, whose first-hand testimony should be heard alongside patrician retrospects from apparent beneficiaries - often still-political self-accounted victors - the strand-line survivors of just the most recent of storm tides.
Set as if to bury three decades of weasel-word praise used to devalue the ideals most shared and the lives many gave to national service, perhaps seeking to erase the memory of denigration and infiltration, and further to anaesthetise for the final destruction of the hobbled NHS left by Attlee and Bevan, today's national memorial ceremony - ostensibly for an individual - should precipitate rather than put back the peace and reconciliation process we so badly need.
For a dying colleague, distressed for past, present and future, betrayed first by one then the other Great Party, I could give comfort only in the one grim certainty -whatever the triumphs of Mammon - that "God is not mocked". Teaching and learning, there will be - wherever not too late - if not from reflection and shared humility, then sadly but surely from hard experience. We need each other, for peace and prosperity and honour.
"The real charge against her is not economic. It is that she legitimised selfishness and privilege; that she trampled on the ethic of altruism and public service; that she widened the gulfs of class, colour and economic circumstance which divide our society against itself; that she steadily chipped away at the fundamental liberal values of tolerance, decency, fair play, willingness to compromise and respect for the rights and freedoms of others, on which the moral quality of our civilisation depends; to put it at its simplest and most painful, that she made this country a meaner, crueller, nastier place in which to live."

I've been covering the sales enablement space here at Forrester for six years. While the concept is certainly more common than it was "back in the day", I'm not really sure we as a community have a lot of clarity about how to get various Marketing, Human Resources, IT, Finance, and Sales groups on the requisite same page required to drive the desired effectiveness and efficiencies of most sales enablement initiatives across the selling system.
The problem today? Sales is Getting Too Much Well Intended Help and Not Enough Real Support
One of the important realizations that we continue to illuminate for business leaders is that when all of these groups are working independently to support sales, a tremendous amount of uncoordinated, redundant, or conflicting investments are made. Corralling these "random acts of sales support" is job #1 of any strategic sales enablement initiative…but how do you determine whose efforts are the random ones? Whether you are in a small or large organization there are many different people are certain they know what salespeople need to be successful, resulting in an avalanche of sales enablement deliverables, but few real results.
Posted by Scott Santucci on the Sales Enablement Professionals Blog on February 20, 2014
Why are sales and marketing professionals working harder and longer than ever before? Why are they seemingly in a constant firefighting mode, moving from one fire drill to the next, one meeting to another?
We are in the middle of a major transformation in the B2B sales model. Your company is caught between a rock and a hard place because your investors want to see accelerated growth and improved margins. However, your customers have the same pressures, and all have some form of enterprisewide strategic procurement initiatives underway. Your goal: sell at a higher price. Their goal: buy only what they need at the lowest possible price. Something has to give.
In response to these tectonic forces, we find many companies have a variety of internal projects designed to combat the commoditization trend. Some common efforts include:

2012 Top Doctors
Dr. Dennis Begos was recognized
In the December 2012 issue of Boston Magazine Dr. Begos was recognized as a Top Doctor in colorectal surgery. The 2012 list features a total of 645 physicians selected by their peers in 57 specialties.
What is an anal abscess?
An anal abscess is an infected cavity filled with pus found near the anus or rectum.
What is an anal fistula?
An anal fistula, almost always the result of a previous abscess, is a small tunnel connecting the anal gland from which the abscess arose to the skin of the buttocks outside the anus.
What causes an abscess?
An abscess results from an acute infection of a small gland just inside the anus, when bacteria or foreign matter enters the tissue through the gland. Certain conditions - colitis or other inflammation of the intestine, for example - can sometimes make these infections more likely.
What causes a fistula?
After an abscess has been drained, a tunnel may persist connecting the anal gland from which the abscess arose to the skin. If this occurs, persistent drainage from the outside opening may indicate the persistence of this tunnel. If the outside opening of the tunnel heals, recurrent abscess may develop.
What are the symptoms of an abscess or fistula?
Symptoms of both ailments include constant pain, sometimes accompanied by swelling, that is not necessarily related to bowel movements. Other symptoms include irritation of skin around the anus, drainage of pus (which often relieves the pain), fever, and feeling poorly in general.
Does an abscess always become a fistula?
No. A fistula develops in about 50 percent of all abscess cases, and there is really no way to predict if this will occur.
How is an abscess treated?
An abscess is treated by draining the pus from the infected cavity,
making an opening in the skin near the anus to relieve the pressure. Often,
this can be done in the doctor's office using a local anesthetic. A large or
deep abscess may require hospitalization and use of a different anesthetic
method. Hospitalization may also be necessary for patients prone to more
serious infections, such as diabetics or people with decreased immunity.
Antibiotics are not usually an alternative to draining the pus, because
antibiotics are carried by the blood stream and do not penetrate the fluid
within an abscess.
What about treatment for a fistula?
Surgery is necessary to cure an anal fistula. Although fistula surgery is usually relatively straightforward, the potential for complication exists, and is preferably performed by a specialist in colon and rectal surgery. It may be performed at the same time as the abscess surgery, although fistulae often develop four to six weeks after an abscess is drained sometimes even months or years later. Fistula surgery usually involves cutting a small portion of the anal sphincter muscle to open the tunnel, joining the external and internal opening and converting the tunnel into a groove that will then heal from within outward. Most of the time, fistula surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis - or with a short hospital stay.
How long does it take before patients feel better?
Discomfort after fistula surgery can be mild to moderate for the first
week and can be controlled with pain pills. The amount of time lost from
work or school is usually minimal.
Treatment of an abscess or fistula is followed by a period of time at home, when soaking the affected area in warm water (sitz bath) is recommended three or four times a day. Stool softeners may also be recommended. It may be necessary to wear a gauze pad or mini-pad to prevent the drainage from soiling clothes. Bowel movements will not affect healing.
What are the chances of a recurrence of an abscess or fistula?
If properly healed, the problem will usually not return. However, it is important to follow the directions of a colon and rectal surgeon to prevent recurrence.

Her clinical interests, in addition to general obstetrics and gynecology, high risk obstetric,minimally invasive surgery, urogynecology, and cosmetic gynecology.
Dr. Rutland is known not only for providing top quality of care, but also personalized and compassionate care for her patients. …
Dr Rutland was excellent!!! Highly recommend!
I like very much the doctor. She was very nice and professional and her nursery practice was very patient.
There was some confusion with the staff about my appointment time, but Dr. Rutland saw me right away and was extremely nice, informative, and receptive to my needs.
She was very pleasant and professional, made me feel confit table, and her staff worked quickly. My appointment took about 1 hour, from walking in the door to walking out.
out of all of the OBGYN doctors I've been to in Virginia this has been the best one she explained things that other doctors never brought up. she just a great doctor she reminds me of home (South) southern hospitality don't treat you any differently she just make you feel comfortable all doctors should get input on how she treats her patients no matter what insurance color size and shape the person is treat everyone fairly as she did...her whole team gets A+ from me :-) God bless
Good. She is so kind and active.
She is friendly, amazing and I felt so comfortable and at ease with her
Love it!! Her staff were very friendly and made me feel very comfortable, front desk was very friendly and kind with me I was called in right away and the nurses were very nice and helpful as well. The doctor was very nice, cheerful,and kind as well
It was my first time to an OBGYN, so I really had no idea of what to expect. She explained to me everything that was going to me done and explained to me everything before it was to be done. I highly recommend her to anyone. Also, her staff was very enjoyable and had a great sense of humor.
She's very friendly and honest with patients about their options and what she can do for them.
The Doctor had an unexpected delivery which delayed me being seen on this date; but she is worth waiting for!
Where did she find her office staff from? Random picks from on the side of road or something. They never even bothered to initiate contact with me for my lab results and now I have been trying to get copies of my medical records for the past month and everytime I call a different lie is told to me. "The doctor needs to review your chart." "She is will sign off on it to be released tomorrow." Blah...blah...blah...lie...lie...lie. It is now about a month later and I call and still she hasnt signed off on anything to be reviewed for release. I was told the records would be sent to my doctors office but nothing. I have to take time out of my damn day to go all the way over there during rush hour to get this. They get a 5 star rating for being idiots, incompetent, and extremely unreliable for such a simple request.
It was great, besides the wait time. She was very personable, and the nurses were friendly too.
Dr. Rutland is amazing. She took time to make me feel listened to. I never felt rushed and silly asking any question. The nurse, receptionist and the lab rep were very nice and accommodating.
The wait was way too long when all I needed was a quick checkup and renewed prescription for birth control. Poor communication over phone. Nurses never returned my calls
She was (and always is) delightful! Only OB/GYN I've ever gone to that makes me feel comfortable!
She was extremely easy to feel comfortable around. She gave me a lot of information - which is what I was looking and hoping for. I'm so glad I found my new doctor!
Great except wait time
There was a long wait time, but the office was switching over from paper to electronic files so it was understandable. All of the staff were very helpful and welcoming and I found Dr. Rutland to be very professional. She was very friendly and understanding and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
I had a great visit with Dr. Rutland! The only reason there was a wait was because she had an emergency which is totally understandable, it was reassuring to me that if I needed my doctor that the would be there for me. The staff was very friendly and personable.
Very pleased! Dr. Rutland took the time to prepare us for what to expect during our pregnancy with her and was always open and willing to answer questions. Extremely friendly and down to earth. Office hours are very accommodating for those with FT business hour jobs which is a huge plus!
Wonderful doctor .
Very sweet and helpful! Highly recommend her.
Very friendly and comfortable environment.
She was great! Answered all of my questions thoroughly and made me feel very comfortable!
This doctor was amazing, thoughtful and helpful. I thoroughly recommend!
I really appreciate Dr. Rutland's straightforward communication style. She answers my questions thoroughly, and takes her time talking me through diagnoses/options/just plain curiosity questions - something very much appreciated when we're talking about something as important as my health! I've recommended her to several friends of mine and will continue to do so.
The staff seemed a little disorganized, but Dr. Costanza was wonderful and friendly.
Very highly recommended, I appreciate Dr. Rutland's to-the-point demeanor. The wait was a little long but I'm willing to wait, she takes her time with her patients, and I like that she takes my concerns seriously and answers my questions thoroughly.
Takes time to answer any doubts and questions. Made me feel super comfortable!
Dr. Costanza is really nice and really gets too be with her patient and constantly ask if they have any questions.
First time visit, she spent a lot of time answering my questions and getting to know my history. Super gentle, super sweet.
The MD is amazing person!!! Had good time w her!!!
Dr. Rutland was great, very kind, caring, and professional. My issue was the waiting area/receptionist. They don't have a dedicated receptionist for some reason. I waited 35 minutes in the waiting area before a staff member acknowledged me. It was a little over an hour by the time I actually got in with Dr. Rutland. Once I was in it was a quick process. The girl who drew my blood was fabulous, we chatted while she worked so I didn't even notice. If they got a receptionist, this place would be great.
yea...no....and her front desk had no respect, called me 3 times (3 individual girls) to tell me i had herpies which wasnt and still is not true btw! and when dealing with the doctor about this situation she said, "sorry my staff is new"---wtf? im pretty sure front desk shouldn't be giving any kind of information....however this was back in 2013 and i never went back. I actually requested all of my information and left.
I thought she was professional, pleasant, and took the time to answer my questions and concerns. I'm happy I went with this provider and I would recommend her to others.
She was great.. Everything went smoothly
She was awesome.. She made us feel right at home... I'm alwyas going to see her.
Dr. Rutland made me feel very comfortable. The best doctors visit I have had in quite some time!
Dr. Rutland and her staff were great.
She was AMAZING!! and i put it in all capital letters because i can't explain how thorough and patient she was. I highly recommend her as your doctor i will not go any where else!
Made me very comfortable :)
Wonderful. I came in to confirm my first pregnancy, and I could not have been more impressed. My husband and I were immediately put at ease, provided amazing individualized attention, and genuinely felt that the staff and the doctor shared in our joy. Can't wait to go back!

Art Nouveau Mythos in a Dragon Pendant
Based on a design rendered by Lluis Masriera, the Spanish master of Art Nouveau jewelry (see photos), this 14k yellow gold pendant is a piece of objective beauty well worth owning. Art Nouveau was obsessed with depicting fantastic creatures, insects and animals both real and imagined. Stylized or realistic these themes readily were incorporated into the idea of inducing a dream state in the viewers to entice them to release their imaginations in turn.
The dragon motif was especially useful as it conveyed an image which was conveniently ambivalent – being a traditional element of heraldry as well as an archetypal symbol. Although Art Nouveau typically utilized a flat two-dimensional plane, the overall gestalt illustrated in this pendant is alive and restless yet displays a strong balance with its whiplash form created using dynamic, undulating and flowing lines in a syncopated rhythm of a three-dimensional object.
Solid and weighty (not hollow), 14k gold renders exceptionally fine detailing and modeling of the creature as it grasps an old European cut diamond within its powerful jaws and focuses on its environs using a single cut diamond eye. In all, .22 carats of estimated total diamond weight appoint the pendant. The reverse is just as well executed and aesthetically pleasing as is the front. The design is well thought out and proportioned even to the point of including the two sinuous curving elements flanking the bale. In addition, texturing of surfaces has not been ignored.
Date: Circa 1910.
Note: See photo from a catalog of Marta Alcolea, an antique jewelry dealer located in Spain depicting the original Masriera dragon pendant on which this was based.
Ask about our matching chains!
Measurements: 1-1/2 inches (3.8 cm) in length including bale by 1-1/2 inches (3.8 cm) in width. Weight of 16.4 grams (10.5 dwt).
Condition: Excellent, a touch of surface wear to the diamond only visible with a loupe.

The amount of capital notes issued by European banks is likely to fall as regulators seek rules increasing the securities' ability to absorb losses, Standard & Poor's said in a report today.
Investor demand for so-called hybrid capital products is "uncertain" as supervisors demand structures that that are more equity-like, including automatic conversion into stock in times of stress, S&P analysts led by Michelle Brennan in London wrote in the report.
"These regulatory moves are in response to the limited capacity" of the securities to "act as a material form of capital during the recent stresses," the analysts wrote. "The potential investor demand for these newer hybrid structures is unclear."
Regulators worldwide are seeking ways to increase banks' ability to absorb losses after the global financial crisis shut down credit markets and governments were forced to bail out lenders. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision proposed changes in December that will "encourage the development" of more flexible structures, S&P said.
Hybrid securities have features of equity and debt and were designed to count toward banks' government-mandated capital requirements to cushion against losses.
