Moose…or is it Mooses or maybe Meese?
Quick. What comes to mind when you hear Alaska? Moose, right? Thousands of people travel to Alaska and specifically Gustavus Alaska every year with the hope of seeing one in the wild. Well, whether you see one or four, it's still moose – not mooses or meese, for that matter. That's moose fact number one.
Here are a few other facts that you just might not know about the largest deer family member with the unusual antlers.
• Antlers have been known to weigh upwards of 80 pounds (talk about a headache) and spread six feet from tip to tip.
• Only "bull" moose grow antlers – which they shed every winter.
• Antlers take three to five months to grow. They have a velvet-like covering when growing. In autumn before the "rut" or mating season, the bulls rub their antlers against brush and trees to help shed the velvet and to draw the attention of females.
• An adult male is called a "bull," an adult female is called a "cow," and a young moose is called a calf.
• From shoulder to ground, an adult male can stand nearly seven feet tall.
• Adult males can weigh 1600 pounds.
• The word "moose" is derived from a Native American Algonquin Indian word meaning "twig eater." In fact most Indian names don't have a plural form, e.g., deer or moose.
• Moose are herbivores, meaning they eat only plants. They can eat up to 50 – 60 pounds a day.
• They have no upper teeth.
• Moose are generally not aggressive. Normally they are timid and shy, unless however, you are standing between a cow and her calf. They can kill. A bull can get aggressive during mating season as well.
• An adult male can run as fast as 35pmh and keep that up for 15 minutes at a time.
• Moose have excellent hearing.
• Moose are excellent swimmers (who knew?) and can swim up to 6mph for two hours, which would amount to 10 miles.
• They can dive to 18 feet.
• Moose are found in the northern part of the United States, Canada, Europe and Russia. The largest type of moose is the Alaskan moose.
• There are approximately half a million moose in Alaska. It's not unusual to see them walking the streets in urban neighborhoods in Alaska or even lying down in your front yard panting – exhausted from chasing a potential mating partner.

Designing The Future(s) of the University
Georgetown University has launched an integrative initiative that engages the whole Georgetown community in an exploration of issues facing higher education and actively experiments with new ways to deliver the education we value into the future.
How could we design a university for the future that would have liberal education values at its center but be appropriate for the world of 2030 and beyond? What kind of student-centered university is possible right now that only we could create at this moment?
Rather than responding to potential disruptions facing higher education by trying to hold on to outdated practices, we believe Georgetown can make a distinctive contribution to this discourse by treating the question of our future as a design challenge.
As part of this initiative, the university will invite a diverse set of thought leaders to speak at Georgetown and engage the university community through dialogue and design workshops to look at innovation in teaching and learning.
The next speaker in the series will be Ted Mitchell, who will speak on March 3. He is CEO of the NewSchools Venture Fund and recent nominee for under secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. The event will be held in Lohrfink Auditorium and webcast live at 5 p.m. on March 3.
President John J. DeGioia and Provost Robert Groves kicked off the speakers series at an event on November 20. During the event, DeGioia and Groves shared their thoughts on the future of higher education. If you missed the event, watch the video of the entire event or read the text of DeGioia's remarks.

Customer Portal
PWAN turns Internet connections into true private circuits without the use of VPNs. We do this by building a dedicated private core network for each client. The whole network is protected by its own dedicated firewall which the client can customise to their specific requirements offering a single break-out point for Internet access for the network. Wide Area Network has never been so easy to configure, administer or secure.
Private Wide Area Networking provides businesses with a private network either across the country or around Europe. By giving each circuit with its own internal IP subnet, the network operates as a private network across all sites with absolute security and without the necessity of VPN tunnels.
Fluidata tailors the solution to meet each exacting requirement to ensure reliability, security and ease of use. Core equipment within the Fluidata datacentre is dedicated for each customer and the PWAN is protected by a centralised firewall providing completely secure Internet access for the whole client network and a single point of security management. This provides the customer with a single, manageable WAN which is easy to administer and support.
Additionally, because the client network operates over dedicated routers at each site and on the core network infrastructure, it is possible to enable QoS services for effective end-to-end traffic prioritisation.
Dedicated private network | No VPNs required |
Dedicated core firewall | Optional QoS |
Wide range of connections | Only 12-month contract |
24/7 support | Fully managed |
Is PWAN Secure?
PWAN utilises Layer-2 interconnects Fluidata has with its carrier partners, therefore individual lines can run private IPs all the way through to a dedicated firewall in the data centre, making it absolutely secure.
Which line works?
PWAN has been designed to work with the whole product portfolio including DSL and Leased Line technologies. It can also connect into other European or global networks via Layer-2 or a VPN.
How long to install?
PWAN is built irrespective to the last mile connections and so can be deployed at the beginning or during a project. Average times depending on the complexity of the configuration would be between two to four weeks.

WE ARE a Christian country," proclaims bandwagon-boarder Dave Cameron, accidental PM.
To which the only reply, in true panto fashion, is: "Oh no we're not!"
But first, Dave's attitude towards a real Christian, the Archbishop of Canterbury, is on a par with Henry II's towards Rowan's illustrious predecessor Thomas Becket.
Henry moaned: "Oh who will free me from this turbulent priest?" – and we've all seen the movie with Burton and O'Toole, so we know what happened next. Into Canterbury Cathedral clattered the cavalry, four armoured knights brandishing broadswords, and Thomas got the chop.
I'll bet Dave feels the same way about the turbulent priest who had the temerity to criticise government policies bringing misery to millions. But as he can hardly send a couple of backbench bruisers round to rough up Rowan, he does it the politician's way: a bit of snide bad-mouthing.
Back to Dave's Christmas message: "We are a Christian country." Very pertinent at a time of year when we celebrate the birth of the founder of the entire multi-billion-pound industry, which is what religion is these days. But does our PM actually know what he's talking about?
"The Bible," he says, "has given Britain a set of values and morals which makes Britain what it is today. Values and morals we should actively stand up and defend."
Does he mean the values and morals of the Old Testament, a catalogue of horror and brutality with a vengeful and appalling deity ordering massacres, genocide, child sacrifice and slavery, while visiting plagues, floods, fire and brimstone on those dissing his authority?
Or the New Testament, which begins with the Nativity? Or at least begins with the Nativity in two of the four Gospels that got past the priestly censors long ago.
Only Matthew tells us of the virgin birth, three wise men, the star and Herod's slaughter of the innocents. Luke does shepherds and manger but no star or wise men. Nothing at all in Mark and John, which is odd since this birth is considered the most earth-shaking event in history.
If, of course, there was such a birth.
But you can't say that, can you? This time last year the Rev John Davies, of the Brecon and Swansea diocese, announced that "one of the great fallacies perpetrated by aggressive atheists is that our faith is without foundation, that it's all made up". No, he said, "Christianity is rooted in the experience of real people, living witnesses whose words were distilled and detailed into the stories we possess and treasure."
What living witnesses? The Nativity story was written by men born long after Christ's death and was "distilled" from numerous earlier myths.
A dozen gods from Horus and Hermes to Mithras were born of virgins in stables or caves and all showed miraculous powers from babyhood – Hercules strangled a giant snake invading his cradle, and he was only a demi-god.
So the Christmas we're looking forward to is simply a steal from the pagans' winter solstice, celebrating the birth of the sun god a thousand years before Christ was born.
The Nativity – fact or fiction? No writer of the relevant period comments on the odd behaviour of the Gospel's stop-start star, surely of worldwide interest.
No Roman writer mentions the census that allegedly took Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. Herod died four years before the miraculous birth, so where does that leave the massacre of the innocents?
Christianity is based on four contradictory gospels, meaning that faith, not facts, is essential for the survival of belief in what is impossible.
Impossible? Only 60 years ago Pope Pius XII made an infallible pronouncement that the Virgin Mary had risen bodily into heaven. Faith trumps facts.
Consider the history of Christianity, then ask Cameron exactly which values and morals we should defend. Has he forgotten past persecutions, burnings, massacres of Jews and Muslims, the torture and executions all in the name of Christ?
How moral were the genocides in the Americas, the Crusades or, in later years, the exhortation "kill a Commie for Christ"?
Christian values brought 300 years of killings in Northern Ireland.
Christian morality meant death for uncountable numbers in Aids-stricken Africa because of a Vatican fatwah against contraception.
In America, zealots who murder abortion clinic doctors are applauded for their Christian morality.
If there ever was a baby Jesus, and if he could see how the religion based on his birth has become perverted to justify all kinds of evil, he'd wonder whether the whole pantomime – the only word – has been worth it.
Meanwhile, Happy Christmas.

U.S. Bancorp Is Still Underappreciated
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shares of U.S. Bancorp (USB - Get Report) are still having a hard time gaining any sort of momentum following the bank's first-quarter earnings report. Although the stock has been up lately, shares have barely moved since January.
U.S. Bancorp has been a consistent performer in the financial sector for a number of years but the bank is taken for granted because it's not JPMorgan Chase (JPM) or Wells Fargo (WFC). It doesn't have to be. Investors should appreciate U.S. Bancorp has not had the struggles of Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C).
The only "mistake" U.S. Bancorp has committed is lacking flair. When it comes to the metrics that should really matter -- operating margin, earnings per share and return on equity -- there are very few banks that can match USB's performance.
But can it continue?
Although the first-quarter results didn't overwhelm, including a 1% decline in operating revenue, relative to expectations, the performance wasn't all that bad. Besides, after having taking time to dissect earnings reports from some of the more prominent banks mentioned above, growth has been lacking across the board. At USB, operating revenue fell 1% year over year and 5% sequentially. Although this is not entirely a surprise, the company posted strong growth in the previous January quarter of 5%, so some air was let out of USB's sails. Fee income was softer than expected, down 4% year over year and 7% sequentially. While U.S. Bancorp is not alone in these struggles, making a case for respect is hard when you're not showing much differentiation.However, when keeping up with the same performance criteria, USB actually bested solid performers JPMorgan and Wells Fargo in some key areas. For instance, USB posted a 1% increase in net interest income (NII), while also posting strong results in average earnings assets. By contrast, JPMorgan's net interest income declined 6% year over year and 2% sequentially due to margin erosion. Although USB's net interest margin (NIM) also declined by 12 basis points, this was almost half of JPMorgan's decline. Along similar lines, Wells Fargo's NIM declined 33 basis points from last year, which lead to a 3% year-over-year decline in net interest income.

The Brake lab examines how natural fluctuations in ovarian hormones across the estrus cycle in rats affect normal brain function and plasticity, particularly central dopamine transmission.They are examining how estrogen influences dopamine transmission in areas linked to schizophrenia and how antipsychotic drug effects may be influenced by estrogen..
Dr. Brake's research comprises two main areas of interest.
1) The mechanisms by which the early environment in rodent models affects development of brain function and behavior. His lab investigates how birth complications and early maternal-infant relationships affect brain development; specifically the dopamine system. These studies are carried out to understand the mechanisms underlying disorders such as attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and schizophrenia as well as why, upon adulthood, some are more susceptible to the ill-effects of repeated stress and the incentive values of drugs of abuse.
2) Another line of research examines how ovarian steroids (e.g. estrogen) affect plasticity of the brain and subsequent behavior. Dr. Brake's lab employs behavioral tests, modern anatomical techniques and cutting edge methods to measure changes in neurochemistry to ultimately understand how our early environment and hormonal milieu shape our adult life.

I can't stop the jade tree leaf drop! Help! (pictures inside)
Hi there. I have a nice little Jade tree that gave me no trouble for the first 3 months that I owned it. I kept it in a south facing window on the second floor and watered it sparingly, maybe once every 3 weeks.
Well, after about 3 or 4 months I started to notice some leaf drop: there were quite a few brown crinkly leaves showing up here and there and dropping down onto my carpet. After talking with a few different people, I realized that this was probably due to a lack of water, so I increased the water that I was giving the jade. A little less than 2 quarts every 2 or 3 weeks.
Now, however, the leaf drop has continued. The leaves become yellow and soft and the slightest touch sends them falling to the floor. I am just hopeless as to what to do here! It gets decent sunlight from the window (which is quite large), and I don't run the air conditioner in my apartment at all during the day, and in the evenings I don't let it get much cooler than 77 degrees.
I'm at a loss for what to do!! I don't want to lose this beautiful tree. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much! Pictures are below:
Dead -
Eyes may begin to roll now because I sound like a broken record with my warning...but here I go again...
Unpot your plant and completely wash the soil off with spray from the hose. **Note if there is a ball of peat around the root-ball** Check for any dead, mushy or grey roots and remove those with a sharp, sterilized knife. Sprinkle any cuts with cinnamon and set it in a dry, shady spot for a few days to allow the cuts to callus over. Prepare some proper succulent mix. *No Peat* There are as many mixes as their are succulent growers. I use 50/50 organic potting soil and haydite but turface, decomposed granite or even perlite will also work...but *No Peat*...did I say that already?
Peat becomes hydrophobic when dry and almost impossible to rehydrate. Since succulents need to dry out between waterings, it is a recipe for disaster. Oust it! Since most commercial growers use peat, it is highly possible that after the first time you allowed your plant to dry between waterings the peat was dried out and has never rehydrated whereby your plant has not had a good drink since you brought it home. Water will roll down the sides of the pot and out the bottom, never giving the roots a chance at it. This is also why you cannot remove a root-ball from a nursery pot and plop into a new pot, adding fast-draining dirt around it...that only exacerbates the problem.
Once your plant is re-potted, you can resume a normal watering schedule as it has (hopefully still will have) a nice root system. Don't bother to measure the amount of water you are giving. Instead, drench the container until water runs from the bottom...this time it should drain almost instantly from the soil surface and will trickle thru the "soil proper". You can now confidently (and properly) allow the soil to dry between waterings with no worries.
HTH! You've got a nice-sized C. Ovata and it would be a shame to lose it!
I will step off the ole soapbox and allow others their turn.
GL! Jo
Sounds like good advice. And may I ask - why isn't your Jade outside?? I'm in Omaha and mine all go out as soon as the last frost is past and stay out until we get a good hard freeze. They really, REALLY benefit from being outside in summer, and it increases your chances of getting blooms in late fall/winter.
Hope you can save that big beauty.
Denise in Omaha
Thanks for all of the advice!! I will probably try inspecting the roots this weekend when I have some time.
Also, the reason I don't keep it outside Denise is because I am in an apartment complex with no deck or rooftop garden space, which kills me, but I have to make due.
Thanks again for the help. I will do my best to keep this big guy alive!!
i can't agree more -
besides acting like a wick when dry, the by-products of peat decomposition are toxic. Peat is OK for palm trees or annuals which are vigorous and the soil mix is changed regularly anyway...but not succulents which rely on a stable, neutral soil mix to keep the fine roots alive
besides the soil mix, i think that plant would benefit from a wider (and maybe more shallow) pot, but as was already stated, inspect the roots 1st before you overpot.
i agree, inadequate water to the leaves is the culprit here
Well, I've gotten at the roots and I don't think they look very good. Any expert opinion on these?
They appear pretty red in that picture, though as they've dried overnight they seem to be a bit lighter in coloration. There are plenty of fine white roots, but nearly all of the large ones are that reddish color. Scratching the root with a fingernail reveals white underneath.
Quite an ordeal, I should say, to wash the dirt off of this. I had to haul him down two flights of stairs and use the hose from the business my apartment is located behind (which happens to be a bar!). Anyway, the plant is sitting in a shady spot in my apartment just hanging out today. Thoughts on where to go from here?
At least you don't have to walk it every day. No Vet bills, give it a slightly larger pot at this time and trim the top off the plant so the roots have a chance to grow. Place it near an open window, that has some sun coming in part of the day at least. It's a healthy plant. New soil, will give it a jump start. Add some pebbles into the soil, so it can drain well, make sure your soil is fast draining. Some more hints that may be helpful. A bird shop will have coarse gravel that you can add to the soil, or scratch for chickens, or a nearby clean stream should have small pebbles or rocks. Those roots need to grow and support all of the leaves on top. Norma
Thanks Norma! I had never actually looked at Jade roots before (except from some cuttings I had propagated) and the reddish tint of the roots scared me a bit--though they are all sturdy (no mush).
The soil mixture I was considering preparing was equal parts topsoil, sand, vermiculite and then a little perlite. Does that seem like an OK mix or should I consider something else?
I believe Norma would caution (Hi Norma!) against the sand, unless it's quite coarse & of course, clean & salt-free.
My own opinion, I NEVER use sand, it can cause problems, I'd skip the vermiculite (which is used to retain water) & increase the perlite (which will help insure fast drainage). Pls. use a hefty amount of perlite, like at least 1/4 of the whole volume, if not 1/3, personally, I use it in 1/3 propoportion (tho' I tend to use pumice in place of perlite).
Feel free to disagree w/ me Norma, I don't have a 1/4 of the experience w/ these as you do!
I agree...skip the sand and vermiculite altogether and use more perlite, grit, or decomposed granite, etc.
The root-ball seems a bit small for this size plant so I am going to surmise that it was not developing fine roots. Water only as needed. Your surgery is going to do worlds' of good for your C. Ovata! Carry on! Jo
Vermiculite breaks down into clay components which reduces drainage in the long run. Vermiculite is great for seed starting because it is light and fluffy, but not stable.
Unless you are using very coarse sand, it will not improve the soil structure in a pot. In the ground, sand can help lighten up a dense substructure.
Equal parts top-soil and perlite I think would be a good, simple place to start, and learn to observe your plants for their watering needs rather than sticking to a set watering schedule.
"Equal parts top-soil and perlite I think would be a good, simple place to start, and learn to observe your plants for their watering needs rather than sticking to a set watering schedule."
I agree with X, Dead. My mix is very simple. I know lots of folks use a number of ingredients mixed together but "simple" also works. 50/50 potting soil and perlite will give you good drainage. The only issue with using perlite is that it is sooo lite that some of it floats to the top of the soil when you drench soil. In order to keep a neat appearance, you may wish to use decomposed granite or river rocks or something over the top of your soil. You should be able to find all the items I've mentioned in this post at HD. Haydite is a bit more difficult to find but you can do a search and the manufacturer has a site that will help you locate a dealer in your area. I get mine at the local organic gardeners nursery. For turface, ask anyone who maintains a local baseball field (at a high school or community park) turface is sure to be used to control drainage. "Oil-Dri" can usually be found at HD or at WM. But as I said, simple works too! HTH - Jo
Alright! Thanks for all the advice everyone. I've repotted the jade in a 1:1 mix of topsoil and perlite, with a few river stones thrown in and some decorative rock atop all of it to clean things up. I drilled a few extra holes in the bottom of the pot and all is draining well.
Thanks once again for all of the advice. Hopefully this will end the leaf drop and lead to some growth.
One final question before the pics... someone had suggested that I give the jade a trim. Why should I do this, and how should I do it? I have my pruning shears ready !! :)
There are several things you can do with pruning. You could whack each big trunk and take quite a bit off or jut cut each secondary branch back to within two to three inches of the main trunk. It may take quite a bit of the leaves off, but they will come back quite quickly. If you have sharp loppers or pruners (that can cut 1") you can use those or a simple knife. Make sure that whatever you use is clean. It will be hard to prune a lot for you because it will take so much of the green, but it will come back and will branch more and become fuller. Good luck.
The first thing that I noticed when you showed the roots, is that the porportions are not correct. Too much top growth for the amt. of roots. I would trip off 1/3 of the top, or you will have the plant flopping out of the pot. Don't take the tops off and have a square top, do a little at a time wait two weeks and do a little more, make it as natural as you can. Watch watering for a month, and set it in a low light shade position until the roots grow again and the plant is steady. These plants like to be crowded, so you may want to use natural looking rocks around the plant.
Karen hi to you, you did well, if you were wrong you know I would speak up, regardless that we are good friends. If I leave out something, you would speak out and tell me of course. I would expect you to do that for me. Norma
The pictures that you showed on the forum of your Jade. I would love to be able to do that, my pro PC man can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. I will give the instructions to him, he will be able to translate it.
Will you be able to give us some instructions please.
Trim your "Jade" a bit at a time. Come down about 2-3" per leaf cluster at the top. You will know when the roots are growing by the new growth on the top. You need to force root growth. I hope you broke up at root ball, and spread the roots on top of the soil, then poured more soil on top of them. What is that top dressing? I hope it not sand. Use two or three big rocks on top partly buried into the soil then use a coarse tan or gray gravel on top 1/4 in size. You may be able to find gravel along the side of a road. The more even the size of this top dressing the better it will look. Pour it over the rock and down into the pot, then take a brush, any paint brush will do and wipe off the excess gravel on the rocks, then see if you like it, and please show us a picure, you take excellent photos. Norma
Coir warning: Somebody suggested coir - and that suggestion was not taken. But be careful of coir - especially if it was not specifically designated for plants. I have read that some coir is high in salt which is not (generally) good for plants. I have used and like coir. You can even buy it in bricks (about the size of a brick paver), that when hydrated fill a 5 gallon bucket almost 2/3 full.
Hey there, I have a followup.
It's been about a week since the repotting, and I've done a fair amount of pruning back the tree, but there is still major leaf drop!!
I've watered the tree through once, and the soil is draining fine and is relatively moist--so right now I'm letting it dry completely. There is a tiny amount of new growth, but it is not spaced evenly throughout the tree, and none has shown up on the places where I've pruned. I'm still pretty concerned about this big guy. Is this just part of the adjustment phase and should I expect the leaf drop to continue for a while, or does this mean something may have gone wrong in my repotting process? Thanks again!

General Discussion
Retinoschisis means splitting of the eye's retina into two layers. There are two forms of this disorder. The most common is an acquired form that affects both men and women. It usually occurs in middle age or beyond, although it can occur earlier, and it is sometimes known as senile retinoschisis. The other form is present at birth (congenital) and affects mostly boys and young men. It is known as juvenile, X-linked retinoschisis.
The disorder is characterized by a slow, progressive loss of parts of the field of vision corresponding to the areas of the retina that have become split. Either form may be associated with the development of saclike blisters (cysts) in the retina.

I've written several times on this forum stating I've not run across one "no firearms sign" anywhere in this town except for government buildings. I'm really not even acustom to looking for them.
I was doing some work in a strip mall type place yesterday. I had to go into each store ( there were 4 of them ). I walked into the American General Financial Company and was in there about 5 minutes ( armed ), then noticed the sign on the door as I was walking out. It really took me by surprised. In Ky they can only ask me to leave. ( gotta love it ).
I could'nt say anything at the time because of my work. Tomorrow I have the day off and I'm going to call them. I guess I'll start with the local store here and then call the corperate office if I have to.
It surprised me just how insulted I was. I'm a law abiding citizen and I felt they were telling me they dont trust me. Like "you're not welcome here". I'll keep ya posted on what progress I have. We may have another company to avoid.

Becker pipes were started by Fritz Becker, but are now exclusively made by his son, Paolo, who has been carving pipes since the late 1970s in Rome, Italy. The brand launched with their names stamped on the shank in 1979, as prior pieces were unmarked. Fritz was a very talented artisan and Paolo absorbed knowledge when they began carving pipes together. Prior to Fritz's death in 1991, each Becker pipe was worked by both men.
Stylistically, Becker pipes are unique in the world. Absorbing some aspects of Italian design and natural-born artistry, many pipes from this maker can be easily recognized from a silhouette. While the pipes are either smooth or sandblasted, their features remain rather constant. Bowls are often standard and set against a very delicate, pencil shank or have the stem turned to a very small diameter around the airway like a Victorian lady's dress. The separation of mass adds delicacy that is often a defining characteristic of Paolo. Unusual for many Italian artisans, Paolo works with both acrylic and vulcanite rod for the stems and refrains from heavy accent materials. Instead; he may grace a shank with a delicate wafer of boxwood or silver. While briar is the most common material for him to use, he also sandblasts morta and strawberry wood, each with very unique and desirable characteristics. Paolo grades his pipes similar to playing cards and the better the hand (and stamped to match), the more rare and expensive the pipe.

Regenexx Rotator Cuff Procedure Featured on The Doctors TV Show July 15th!
17 Jul 2014 | in Regenexx, Regenexx SD, Stem Cell Therapy
The July 15th 2014 episode of The Doctor's features a former two time Olympic pairs figure skater medalist, Lloyd Eisler who has had a failed rotator cuff surgery. Lloyd injured his shoulders while spending a lifetime lifting his skating partners and had a surgery several years ago. Now a father and active Hockey player, he reinjured his rotator cuff and was told he needed another surgery. His wife (the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer actress-Kristy Swanson) knew an actor colleague who used the Regenexx procedure to successfully treat his rotator cuff, so Lloyd chose a non-surgical route this time.
The show features Dr. Chris Centeno, the developer of the Regenexx procedures as well as Dr. Blecher, the Regenexx network physician who treated this patient near their home in Los Angeles. Dr. Centeno explains how the procedure works in the studio with Dr. Travis and then the piece cuts to the procedure with Dr. Blecher. The piece ends with a discussion of the procedure with Dr. Centeno and Lloyd and a plea from his actress wife to avoid yet another shoulder injury!

Home > News, Media and Events > Fryzel Praises Polish & Slavic FCU's Scholarship Program
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (June 17, 2013) – National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board Member Michael E. Fryzel praised the Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union's scholarship program and student outreach as an example of "people helping people."
"The credit union's commitment to supporting the education of tomorrow's leaders is commendable and to be applauded," Fryzel said. "When the credit union provides scholarships to these students, it's a clear example of the founding philosophy of the credit union movement—people helping people."
Fryzel was an honored guest at the Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union's 2013 Scholarship Ceremony in Mt. Prospect, Ill., on June 15.
Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union's scholarship program supports high school, undergraduate and graduate students whose outstanding academic achievements proved them to be the credit union's talented and brightest members.
During Saturday's ceremony, 37 credit union members received scholarships ranging from $500 to $5,000. The celebration was part of the 2013 scholarship program that awarded 269 winners in Illinois, New York and New Jersey.
Fryzel said the scholarship program demonstrated the credit union's strong roots in the Chicagoland community and its role as a strong force in the financial industry.
NCUA is the independent federal agency created by the U.S. Congress to regulate, charter and supervise federal credit unions. With the backing of the full faith and credit of the United States, NCUA operates and manages the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, insuring the deposits of more than 99 million account holders in all federal credit unions and the overwhelming majority of state-chartered credit unions. At MyCreditUnion.gov and Pocket Cents, NCUA also educates the public on consumer protection and financial literacy issues.

Cruise Critic U.K. Names Fantastic MSC Fantasia Grand Prize Winner
For two weeks in January, over 600 Cruise Critic U.K. readers participated in the "Fantastic MSC Fantasia Cruise Giveaway": one part trivia-based contest (with a cruise holiday as the grand prize), one part
live blogging
from the Canary Islands aboard
MSC Fantasia
MSC Cruises
' newest and most innovative ship ever built. Contestants followed Editor in Chief Carolyn Spencer Brown's adventures onboard and onshore, and tested their knowledge of all-things MSC with eight corresponding daily quiz questions.
Well the contest has ended, and the winner is ... Laura Clements, from Essex, who was selected at random from some 130 entrants who earned perfect eight out of eights. "WOW! I can't believe I won this," Mrs. Clements writes. "Thank you so much."
Mrs. Clements has won a seven-night cruise for two aboard MSC Fantasia that will visit ports in Italy, Spain, France and Northern Africa. Highlights of the new cruise ship include a Formula One Simulator, 4D Cinema, multiple restaurants and the Yacht Club, an exclusive luxury area with its own cabins, lounge and pool -- essentially, a ship within a ship.
Runner-up prizes were awarded for the first correct respondent on each of the eight days. We shipped out eight
Cruise Essential Packs
filled with Cruise Critic paraphernalia (beach safe, sanitizer on a clip, poncho, insulated day pack) -- certainly not as good as a cruise holiday, but still fun to receive.
So how about those
quiz questions
? We discovered early on that the questions were quite easy (granted we did give you a lot of hints). Over 95 percent of the trivia responses were correct. Still, participants stumbled over two questions in particular:
MSC Cruises is a relatively new cruise line (formed in 1987), but its Geneva-based parent company is one of the world's biggest players in international shipping. What do the letters MSC stand for?
And the answer is ... Mediterranean Shipping Company. Many folks answered "Mediterranean Shipping Cruises."
Cruise Critic was on hand to celebrate a major milestone for MSC Fantasia at St. Nazaire. What was the milestone?
The choices to this multiple choice question were the float out, the steel cutting, cabin installation and the christening ceremony. The answer? The steel cutting, which Cruise Critic covered in depth in our
Letter From ... MSC and Aker Yards France's Newest Productions
. Despite having provided a link to the page where one could find this story, and the correct answer, several respondents believed we were on hand for the float out, another cruise ship milestone, which takes place much further along than the steel cutting.
Now, back to our winner. Mrs. Clements is a Bank Customer Service Assistant who was visiting Cruise Critic U.K. to research a cruise for her mother when she noticed the contest and entered on a whim. "I was totally amazed when I received your email to say that I had won! It still hasn't sunk in yet, but I haven't stopped smiling as it's the best news I've received for many, many months."
Mrs. Clements has been on three cruises, her favourite being a voyage on British liner
Ocean Village 2
(which is actually transferring Down Under to sail with
P&O Australia
). She'll be bringing her husband on the cruise, which will be a joint celebration of their upcoming 40th birthdays.

Mike Gillis has only one job: to make a good team better. He doesn't have to rebuild a bad team, because the Canucks are already good. He doesn't have to worry about selling tickets for a struggling franchise by signing players with flashy skill-sets, because attendance is not an issue (even when a night in the cheap seats with a few oat sodas is going to run you a hundy). He doesn't have to spend to an internal cap, worry about the coaching staff or talk to any petulant superstars about their attitude. For crying out loud, the Canucks only have one or two bad contracts on the whole roster, and neither of them are even a 5 on the Redden-scale. But this doesn't mean that his job is easy—he works in one of the NHL's most rabid media markets, his stars aren't shining that brightly these days, and fan expectations could not be much higher. Gillis' job is not easy, it's just not quite as multi-faceted as it is for some other GMs.
Regardless of what happens between now and April 7th, when the Canucks play their final game of the regular season, the Canadian West Coast will be represented in the playoffs. It would be silly to predict anything else at this point for a team that seems to be able to squeeze some points out of even the poorest showings and likely only needs one or two more solid efforts in their final 14 games (during an easy stretch-drive by a contender's standards) to make the playoffs and win the Northwest Division. Considering the state of the Pacific Division, it seems almost as silly to think that the Canucks could slip to 3rd behind whoever comes out of the Phoenix/San Jose/Dallas frackas currently underway. Things as they stand are more or less set—the Canucks will be one of the top-two seeds in the Western Conference and the roster isn't likely to change much between now and then either. For Mike Gillis, there isn't much to be done for the time being, and for better or for worse, the Canucks will go into the playoffs like this:
LW | Center | RW |
Daniel Sedin | Henrik Sedin | Alexandre Burrows |
David Booth | Ryan Kesler | Chris Higgins |
Jannik Hansen | Sami Pahlsson | Zack Kassian |
Manny Malhotra | Maxim Lapierre | Mason Raymond |
Injured: Aaron Volpatti, Andrew Ebbett, Steven Pinizzotto Scratched: Dale Weise
Dan Hamhuis | Kevin Bieksa |
Alexander Edler | Sami Salo |
Chris Tanev | Marc-Andre Gragnani |
Injured: Keith Ballard Scratched: Andrew Alberts, Aaron Rome
Roberto Luongo |
Cory Schneider |
(Thanks again to Hockey's Future for the user-run line-up google doc)
Including the injuries and scratches in the list above, that is basically the Vancouver Canucks you'll be seeing between now and whenever the playoff run meets its end, with maybe a light spattering of Steven Reinprecht if things get neeeyasssty. There's not much Gillis can do right now other than plan for the summer. But what are his options after the playoffs? It may not have much to do with free agency or trades.
With Jordan Schroeder playing well for the AHL Wolves and Nicklas Jensen chugging along at over a point-per-game clip with the OHL's Oshawa Generals, there is some promise that the Vancouver Prospect Machine will keep pushing out high-grade goods, which usually attain an even higher grade when subject to the Vancouver Ministry of Accountability.
With Mason Raymond becoming an RFA and Sami Pahlsson (along with 4 other depth forwards) becoming UFAs, there should be some room on the roster for the Schroeders and Jensens of the world. Marc Mancari is having a good year too, but it seems at this point in Mancari's career that he's probably not going to develop into an NHL regular.
On the back-end, Chris Tanev is looking to become a regular, and Kevin Connauton is hoping to sidle up on his left. Keith Ballard's 4.2 million-dollar, contract more than Keith Ballard's actual play, will probably send him packing from 800 Griffiths Way, the Pacific Avenue of NHL addresses. And he'll just as likely be sent to a team that needs to make the cap floor—probably in more of a Light Blue or Purple neighbourhood—or as a part of the goaltending trade Vancouver will likely make in the offseason. It's not that Keith Ballard isn't good so much as it's a poor choice to spend $4.2 million on half of your third defensive pairing. It's the same logic that dictates Vancouver won't be paying Cory Schnieder the $3+ million he's worth this summer—it's too much for a back-up, especially when your starter makes $5.3 million/year. But it is the opinion of Smug Nation that Schnieder and Ballard are more likely to return picks and prospects than a stud roster player.
Brian and I were arguing about whether or not the next point is true and ended up having a fight to the death. As victor and now sole owner of smugnation.com, WE THINK the smart money is on Sami Salo coming back next year barring any significant injuries, keeping the seat next to Edler warm until the summer of 2013 when Vancouver sees an influx of testosterone the likes of which the city hath never seen.* Don't tell him I said so (because he's dead and it would be unseemly), but Brian's take that Salo might not come back for another season has merit. It's just the thought of losing the big Finn (not to be confused with this Fin, who delights us to no end with his all-cranium diet. Oh Fin, you hungry scamp) is so putrid, I cannot entertain it. Sami Salo has been, at least by his standards, pretty durable this year, and is terribly underrated outside of BC. Most of the time he missed was because Brad Marchand responds to bodies coming at him the same way George Michael Bluth responds to a game of catch.
*Okay, I jest—no one knows if we'll have to wait that long for Shea Weber to come home. For all I know, he'll just switch jerseys in the middle of our seemingly pre-destined 2nd round match-up in 6 weeks.
It's probable that, Parise wishes and Web-iar dreams aside, the lineup next year will likely look a lot like it does now. Will Mike Gillis have many splashy moves to make this offseason? Maybe not—he might be better served letting the fruits of his and his predecessors' drafting/signing move up to the big show. If the Stanley Cup doesn't come to Stanley Park, it will be a long summer for the Canucks front office. His job is to make a good team better, whether that's through trading, signing or the farm. But Shea Weber, Ryan Suter, Zach Parise, Dennis Wideman and Ray Whitney are sexy. Tanev, Connauton, Jensen and Schroeder are not. Standing pat might be the smart move, but it will certainly be a choice that leaves him in our the crosshairs all year long.

POSTED: Thursday, June 27, 2013 - 4:00pm
UPDATED: Thursday, June 27, 2013 - 5:56pm
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — With the death of 11-month-old Aaliyah Heard, the total number of murders is ten for the month of June in Baton Rouge.
However, over half of those cases already have suspects associated with them sitting in jail.
Police say they're working hard to get the criminals behind bars, and while closing more than 50 percent of their cases may seem like a low number, it's higher than the national average.
Baton Rouge Police said that with help from the community and good police work they're able to bring some closure to families.
"Victims need justice and we're going to try our best to give it to them," stated BRPD Cpl. Tommy Stubbs. "Lately, we have been solving a lot of murders, we've been putting a lot of people in jail and we're going to continue on."
BRPD was able to close around 60 percent of their murder cases last year.
The Baton Rouge Police Department has investigated 31 homicides in 2013. Twenty-one of those cases have resulted in an arrest, which is a clearance rate of roughly 67 percent. Eleven of the total homicides have occurred in the 70805 area. Seven were in the 70802 area code.

Gupta, Swati and Chinnam, Krishna Chytanya and Zelzer, Mischa and Ulijn, Rein and Gleskova, Helena (2012) Optimizing pentacene growth in low-voltage organic thin-film transistors prepared by dry fabrication techniques. In: 2012 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting - Symposium J – Organic and Hybrid-Organic Electronics. MRS Symposium Proceedings, 1435 . Materials Research Society.
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
We have studied the effect of pentacene purity and evaporation rate on low-voltage organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) prepared solely by dry fabrication techniques. The maximum field-effect mobility of 0.07 cm2/Vs was achieved for the highest pentacene evaporation rate of 0.32 Å/s and four-time purified pentacene. Four-time purified pentacene also led to the lowest threshold voltage of -1.1 V and inverse subthreshold slope of ~100 mV/decade. In addition, pentacene surface was imaged using atomic force microscopy, and the transistor channel and contact resistances for various pentacene evaporation rates were extracted and compared to field-effect mobilities.

New Language Release Progress Report (FEB 22)
World's #1 Polyglot Stamp of Approval
"I love it! …seriously. I think what I love about the whole Glossika system is that you have basically put into a concentrated pill what I would have normally done with hundreds of books myself. The first thing I do is buy as many books and samples of language as I can, then analyse, collate, look for patterns, transformation exercises, shadowing, replacement exercises etc. You have done all of that with REAL language – not the stuff you usually get in most language learning courses. Of course – it should be used along with as many other learning resources as you can get. Your product allows a lot of what would have been done on the field before to be done off the field – and better prepare you for the field." -Stu Jay Raj (speaks multiple languages from 6 different language families)
Note: We provide beautifully bound books. Stu Jay's copy is his own print-out of the PDF version.

Really, I recommend you skip straight to the pie.
You can try the fried chicken, which is hulking and deep-fried, and a little on the dry side. It comes with two sides, and will feed you for two days.

Selling Your Practice: What You Should Know
2. Clean Up Your Practice's Financial Statements
It is very common for physicians who are in solo or small group practices to run personal expenses through the practice to reduce personal income taxes. Although this might be saving money in taxes, it actually decreases the value of the practice since practices, just like other businesses, are valued on profitability. Therefore, one should avoid this accounting method if he or she wants to maximize the practice's value.
In addition, in the current banking climate, banks are often unwilling to add back personal expenses when validating the value of your practice. Try to change your practice accounting at least two to three years prior to putting it on the market. This will not only allow you to maximize your sale value but will limit your liability exposure to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
If you want more information of what is allowable in terms of business versus personal expense write-offs, you can go to the IRS Tax Manual, Section 179 (property).
3. Keep Important Documents Organized
When putting a practice up for sale, it is common for appraisers, buyers and other consultants to request the same documents. The more organized these documents are, the more perceived value and confidence the buyer will have when evaluating your practice. You will also save some money in legal and accounting fees if you are very organized.
Some of the most common documents to include in the presentation portfolio include: three years of financial statements and tax returns; a detailed payer mix by revenue for the past three years; updated accounts payable and receivable reports; articles of incorporation; company bylaws; and a copy of the corporate minutes book if you have one. In addition, I would include any liabilities with current or past employees, worker's comp claims and pending litigations.
Finally, you should prepare a separate book including all managed care contracts because a buyer will want to make sure those contracts are transferable. If a buyer decides to purchase your practice and finds out that he or she cannot get on managed plans you are currently on, this could be a very negative factor and lower the value of the practice.
Some other documents needed in the preparation process will be copies of all leases and contracts for real estate, equipment, and physician and non-physician employment contracts. Most likely, any buyer will want you to pay off all debts at closing.
4. Provide Info On Billing And CPT Code Analysis
I would provide a separate report showing how you bill by Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code in the form of some type of charge/paid tracking analysis report. This serves a couple of purposes and is very important in being transparent in your transaction. A buyer will want to make sure that the practice's revenue is accruing in an ethical and legal manner, and will want to see if you are under-coding, over-coding or incorrectly coding.
When my colleagues and I evaluate practices, it is not uncommon to see physicians who bill the same way they billed 20 years ago and have not changed due to pure ignorance. This complicates the entire process. This can work either to the buyer's or seller's advantage. Either way, this will be assessed prior to a final offer or commitment.
5. Do Not Negotiate Sales On Your Own
A consultant is going to be your best investment since you need to detach yourself from the sale. This will take the emotional part out of the equation. Many physicians have spent 30 plus years building a practice and treat it like their own child. How do you put a value on your child?

Hi radhika
You are not getting pregnant by your boyfriend by making out with your clothes on.
You have been very focused and honestly - a little obsessed with this for months. I think you should worry less about pregnancy and more about why your stress levels are so high. Why do you put yourself though all this? What are the benefits from it?
You need to talk to someone to figure out why your stress levels are so high and why you are obsessing so much about pregnancy. If you don't want to get pregnant , don't have sex or put yourself in a situation where you may get pregnant.
But the real issue is the emotional anxiety that you are going through. Tell your boyfriend you need to stop fooling around for a while and talk to someone about your panic over this all the time. It's not good for your health.

Hell's Kitchen Alum Joshua Wahler Now Executive Chef of Kung Fu Kitchen at Catalina
Categories: Restaurant News

The new executive, without donkey, at the Catalina on Halloween. A clever nod to Ramsay's favorite curse word? |
Josh Wahler, a former contestant of Hell's Kitchen 3 (quite possibly its best season on record,) survived one such exit rather elegantly, and has now samboed his way from Doral's 5300 Chop House into the role of executive chef of Kung Fu Kitchen and Sushi at The Catalina Hotel and Beach Club. New breakfast, lunch and dinner menus will launch in three weeks.
"I left my last employer at the end of August because I was looking for a new challenge leading up to the season," says Wahler. "This amazing opportunity presented itself with open arms. There is a single unified vision for this restaurant between our ownership and management.
We are going to shake up the South Beach culinary community with our new and innovative menu, experienced front of house management and extraordinary atmosphere that will make Kung Fu a destination restaurant."
Sounds like strict corporate messaging to us, but hopefully Wahler will flex culinary creativity worthy of the restaurant's name. Stay tuned, folks.
