Meet Shirley Sherrod's husband Charles "We must stop the white man and his Uncle Toms from stealing our elections" Sherrod.
Don't you all want to just hold hands with ol Charles and sing Kumbaya? If Charles & Shirley don't represent racial unity, then I don't know who does. I'm being sarcastic of course. Any ways, here's the full 26 minutes speech by Charles Sherrod giving the keynote address at "50 Years After the Sit-Ins," at the University of Virginia School of Law.

Congressman Paul Ryan schools Chris Matthews on economics and the federal budget.
Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin is a young rising star within the Republican Party. I've seen videos of him speaking. The guy is an accounting and financial wiz. He's also sharp as a tack and can think very fast on his feet. With this being known about Paul, what was Chris Matthews thinking in having him as a guest on his show via satellite. Don't get wrong, It was enjoyable watching Paul making an absolute fool out of Matthews. I didn't exactly get a tingle up my leg, but it was "must see television'. This is what happens when liberal talking points go up against cold hard facts.

It has come to this. Howard Dean is calling Fox News "racist".
Can someone please send Howard Dean an email telling him that he is only blowing away the last remaining grains of any credibility Democrats have left on the issue of race. Once again I find myself having to respond to yet another liberal kook dumb ass trying to play the race as a political weapon. Today Howard Dean was a guest on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace. Dean asserted that Fox News failed to vet video footage of the speech showing that Sherrod was bragging about using her position as an Agriculture Department official to discriminate against a white farmer.
Dean stated "I don't think Newt Gingrich is a racist, and I don't think you're a racist," Dean told Fox News host Chris Wallace, "but Fox News did something that was absolutely racists. They took a – they had an obligation to find out what was really in the clip. They had been pushing a theme of black racism with this phony Black Panther crap and this business and this Sotomayor and all this other stuff."
Phony Black Panther crap?
Oh I forgot, only whites in Klan outfits standing in front of black polling places in the south can be considered racist according to the county Howard Dean lives in, silly me. So Fox News is deemed "racist", because they aired video of a black woman?
I searched the Internet, and I haven't found any comments by Howard Dean calling MSNBC racist for purposely hiding the race of a black man.
I also didn't find and remarks from Howard Dean calling Chris Mathews a racist when he said that "for an hour I forgot I was watching a black man" (Obama).
I don't recall Howard Dean labeling Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid a racist, when he said "Obama is a light skinned black man who doesn't have a negro dialect unless he wants to have one".
After the whole Shirley Sherrod fiasco, mainstream Americans are now to the point they are ready to yell ENOUGH OF THIS RACE CRAP the next time the false allegation of racism is brought up. Dean went on to further say
"We've got to stop being afraid of Glenn Beck (a Fox News host) and the racist fringe of the Republican Party. But Fox News was not blameless during this. You played it up."
Here' another feather in the cap of left wing racial fear scaremongering, thanks Howard. When the left can't defend their policies and ideologies, they have to resort 100% to tar and feathering the opposition as "racists" in order to try and silence them. That tactic has now become outdated. People are on to how the game works now. Since this story happened today, I know Dean is going to be challenged and rebutted very hard come tomorrow on the talk radio shows. By Dean bringing up Glen Beck's name in the same sentence as "racist fringe", are we to assume that Dean was in a back handed manner calling Glen Beck a racist? If Howard Dean truly was concerned about racism, he would have called out the racist fringe of any political party, Democratic, Republican, Libertarian, Constitutional Party, Green Party, Communist Party USA etc. So Dean showed how he like most liberals use race as a political weapon. I just happened to notice the talking point similarities between what Howard Dean said about the "racist fringe of the republican party" and what what Mr. Jealous of the NAACP said about the "racist elements within the tea party". Lets compare notes. Elements and Fringe, Tea Party and the Republican Party. So I challenge anyone to tell me that the NAACP and the Democratic Party aren't sharing the same playbook. The left has been trying to claim that the Tea Party movement and the Republican Party are just one and the same from the very start. In Dean's closing comments, he said something that only a kook could possible believe.
"Dean said. "Continuing to cater to this theme of minority racism and stressing comments like this – some of which are taken out of context – does not help the country knit itself together."
This morn doesn't even know or maybe he does that it is the left who are creating a racial divide. It is his side that keep bring up the issue of race 24 freaking 7, 365 freaking days of the week. Howard Dean doesn't speak for mainstream America. Contrary to the fantasy land Howard is living in. Liberals aren't the authority on what is racism and what isn't in this country. How many times have conservative pundits been taken out of context by the left? Howard would never answer that. Smearing Fox News as being racist isn't going to bring them down or start bleeding viewers. It is because of the remarks of Howard Dean that Fox is number one.
She claims not to be the "white man's bitch", so who's bitch is Ieshuh Griffin?
To my female readers, there is a perfectly logically explanation behind my headline. Unfortunately, I can't explain the logic behind Ms Ieshuh Griffin's campaign slogan. Ms. Griffin is a young black female who is running as an independent for the Wisconsin State Senate. Ms. Griffin's campaign slogan just happens to be "NOT the whiteman's bitch". I guess this can be described as " when ghetto met politics". So much for a post racial America under Barack Obama. I'm going to go out on a limb and claim that Ms. Ieshuh Griffin isn't a conservative. So with that being said, I will also claim that this is another example of a black liberal having an oversensitive mental hangup on the issue of race. This story isn't even one week removed from the other race based story in which the black liberals of the NAALCP passed a resolution to try and single out the tea party movement. Because of the NAALCP's actions, Andrew Breitbart retaliated by making an issue of Ms. Shirley Sherrod. It has become abundantly clear who the people are in our country who "CAN'T LET GO OF RACE". I'm curious about Ms. Griffin. Since she claims she's "NOT the whiteman's bitch", who's bitch is she then? I wish I could ask her that.
Is she the "black man's bitch"?
the "asian man's bitch"?
the hispanic man's bitch?
the "native American man's bitch"?
the "pacific islander man's bitch"?
or "other man's bitch"?
I'm saying this of course to draw attention to how absolutely ignorant Ms. Griffin is. People who are obsessed with race tend to be some of the dumbest most closed minded ignorant people you can find anywhere. The panel on the Fox News show Red Eye discuss Ms. Griffin's slogan.
Here's Rush Limbaugh speaking about Ms. Griffin's campaign slogan.
If Ms. Griffin is running in a district that is mostly black and thinks like her, she is a shoe in to win. How do you think people like Shelia Jackson Lee, and Cynthia Mc Kenney got elected in the first place?For some reason Ieshuh Griffin actually makes Alvin Green of South Carolina seem legit believe it or not. That isn't saying much I know. File this away as another illustration on who are the people in America who are oversensitive about race. I'll give some of you a hint, it's not conservatives nor the tea party folks. I'm surprised that the left hasn't come out and called the people who don't support Ieshuh Griffin's slogan and are offended by it as being a bunch of racists. Give it time, it's still earlier.

The Shirley Sherrod Saga. Part 2
The Shirley Sherrod Saga. Part 1
I've gotten a ton of emails from my subscribers on YouTube and followers of blog asking me about my comments now that the full video of Shirley Sherrod was released. Pretty much my thoughts are still the same. Andrew Breitbart didn't personally edit the tape that he posted on his blog, he received the video already in it's format and thought it was the full video. So it was a miscalculation on his part, but nobody is disputing that she did at one time harbor racial sentiments towards white. She admitted that much. If she had a change of heart towards other people of different races,then I say good for her. This is what has gotten blown way out of portion though. Nobody on the right ever asked or demanded for Shirley Sherrod be fired from her position for what ever body thought she said. The objective of the video was aimed at exposing the NAALCP. If anything Shirley Sherrod was the unknowing prop or tool in Breitbart's attempt to make it happen. It wasn't conservatives, Fox News or Andrew Breitbart who fired Shirley Sherrod. I've heard liberals yesterday calling into the local talk shows and for some reason crowing by attacking Fox News and Andrew Breitbart. I have to shake my head and laugh at these people, because they are either brain dead or have very sort memories. I can't count how many times left wing hack groups like Media Matters have purposely taken out of context what conservative talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh said. I still remember the hatchet job that Media Matters did in taking out of context what radio talk show host Bill Bennett made in a hypothetical to a caller in regards to black babies, crime and abortion. The latest misrepresentation was when liberals purposely took out of context what Rand Paul said on Rachael Madcow's show in regards to the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Everybody knows that a person can't build a foundation on quick sand, that is what liberals are trying to do in somehow thinking that because of Breitbart's and Fox's missteps. In other words, liberals who claim to be upset with Breitbart and Fox News really don't have a leg in which to stand on on this issue. Let me give you all the perfect example. Last year Obama was in Arizona trying to push drum up support of Obama. In Arizona, people have the right to carry guns around in the open. Well the so called media outlet MSNBC was at the health care summit recording and commenting on the crowd that came out in opposition to Obamacare. Well the host Contesa Brewer, Dylan Ratigan and MSNBC pop culture analyst commented on the crowd. They zoomed in on a man who had a pistol attached to his side and an AK-47 strapped to his shoulder.
Well Contessa and the gang "forgot to mention" to their audience one little secret about that "white dude" who was carrying those guns.
Yup, the guy is black. I heard Keith Olberman yesterday taking shots at Fox News over the Sherrod incident. The fact of the matter is that Olberman works for an outfit that PURPOSELY HID THE RACIAL INDENITY OF A MAN IN ORDER TO CREATE A RACIALLY MANIPULATIVE STORY!! Liberal weirdos refer to Fox News as "Faux News", but I don't recall Fox ever doing anything like what MSNBC did. There was no outrage or coverage by the other media on MSNBC's deception. That is why I chuckle now witnessing the so called media in an all out blitz mode in going after Fox News and Andrew Breitbart.

Will the NAALCP repudiate racism when there is proof it exists within it's ranks?
Maybe Ben will pass a resolution at next year's NAALCP convention condemning her actions.

A necessary first step to cleansing yourself after voting for Obama.
There has to be about 10 or more different variations to the Barack Obama bumper sticker in existance. I know I see enough of those pollutions here in Baltimore. To those of you who now regret your error in voting for Obama, there is hope for you. No longer do you have to drive around town with that annoying Obama bumper sticker on your vechile acting as a scarlet letter branded on your forehead for everybody to see. Just remember that the journey to recover starts with the first step.

Chris Matthews must have forgotten that Tim Scott is also black.
How much more of an intellectual dumbass can Chris Matthews get? I hate to be harsh in my language, but the truth is what it is. Mr.Tingles Chris Matthews went back to the only topic his limited mind can comprehend to a certain extent. That topic of course being about "conservatives and race". I have more then commented on Mr. Tingle to the point I want to almost throw up. In this case, I wanted to show how Chris left out a key fact in his segment that completely discredited what he was trying to spew. Mathews had on his show yesterday recently defeated Republican Representative Bob Inglis of South Carolina. He only invited Inglis on his show so he could use him in which to attack conservatives like Limbaugh, Hannity and the residents of South Carolina. Chris was bewildered that conservative voters of South Carolina voted for the Tea Party and Republican Candidate Nikki Haley who is an American of Native descent, but they don't support a black president.
Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris.
This guy is suppose to be a political pundit right? I forgot that Matthews use to work within the Carter administration so never mind. While Chris was pondering why Obama isn't liked in South Carolina while Haley is, Chris "forgot to mention" that those "good ol white conservatives" in South Carolina also voted for and helped Tim Scott win his primary race for the 1st district congressional seat. I'm sure it must have just slipped Matthew's mind, yeah right. Chris wouldn't have left that key bit of information out on purpose in order to form a racist picture about the people in South Carolina would he? Let me help Chris out for a moment. Tim Scott is black like Obama, but Tim unlike Obama has a chance of winning in South Carolina. Here's the secret. Tim Scott is a black conservative running in a conservative district in a conservative state. Obama is an ultra liberal who of course lost in the solidly conservative state. Once again, I can't believe Chris Matthews actually gets paid for what he does. It's not that the folks of South Carolina have a problem with a "black president", it's the fact that this black president is a hardcore socialist. In Matthew's segment he neglected to mention the political ideologies of Nikki Haley and Barack Obama. Nikki Haley is like Tim Scott, she is also a conservative. There is another facet to this story that Chris will never ever report on. It was Sarah Palin who endorsed both Tim Scott and Nikki Haley. If Sarah Palin decides to run in 2012, it will be near impossible for Chris and the rest of the left to label Palin as a racist because of her endorsements. I forgot that liberals don't let reality stop them from their shameless race pandering and baiting.
Black conservatives respond to the liberal race baiters.

Are prostitutes and the NAALCP now considered interchangable? Part 2
I still can't for the life of me figure out why a seating United States Senator would use a Global Warming study by an organization that doesn't have any first hand expertise in the subject matter. Wait a minute,I did say why, never mind.
Are prostitutes and the NAALCP now considered interchangable? Part 1
I have to say that question is very hard to answer. A prostitute sells his or her body to another person for money. The National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People has sold it's soul and credibility as a once legitimate Civil Rights organization to the Democratic Party. Knowing that their Johns being the Democratic establishment are scheduled to suffer massive loses in the midterm elections, the NAALCP has resorted to using the only tactic it has available in order to gin up support from blacks to come out and vote. The race card has been worn out, tapped together yet is still being played again. Yesterday at the NAACP's national convention in Kansas City, the political hack organization passing itself off as a civil rights organization passed a "resolution condemning certain elements within the tea party'. The resolution also claims that Tea Party members "hurled racial epithets at African-American members of Congress". No evidence has ever been presented to validate these claims. Gee, I wonder why? Andrew Brietbart of the website Big Government offered Rep. Democrat John Lewis of Georgia and Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, Democrat of Missouri $ 100,000 of his own money if the two could produce video of the alleged incident. To this day, no video footage has been presented.
The NAALCP's resolution is meaningless on the grounds of actually being relevant to blacks. Most blacks especially young ones aren't even involved with NAALCP. This shell political hack organization has long outlived it's useful as a legitimate civil rights organization. If the number one issue at their annual meeting was to pass a resolution over a non violent incident that there wasn't even any proof of it happening in the first place, I know it's time for the NAALCP to fade off into the sunset and to be remembered for when they actually were relevant and needed and actually had credibility. The fact of the matter is that that Democratic tactic of making everything about race simply doesn't fly anymore.
Liberals of all races have gone to that well one time way too many. The NAALCP's meaningless resolution isn't going to be pack black folks into the voting booths in November. It's a desperation move that isn't going to work. I guess it would be too much like right for the NAALCP to address and focus on "real issues" facing blacks like "unemployment, drug addiction, poverty, illiteracy and crime". I did say it would be too much like right.

The natives are restless in Oakland
Seeing that the residents in Oakland can't protest over how bad their sports teams are, I guess rioting over the shooting of a person they don't even know could be a close second. If you all haven't heard by now, blacks in Oakland are destroying their communities over the verdict that was handed down by the jury in the case of a white police officer Johannes Mehserle convicted of murdering Oscar Grant last year.. The officer was convicted of manslaughter and will face a maximum of four years in prison. The sentence wasn't enough for the "civilized" thugs of Oakland, so they decided to take to the streets in a non violent show of dismay. Ah who am I kidding, they broke into stores and looted them in the name of "justice"?
I'm not exactly sure how breaking into the stores of merchants who had nothing to do with the shooting of Oscar Grant and stealing their merchandise is suppose to be a valid expression of displeasure over the verdict. I have a crazy theory. Could it be that the hoodlums of Oakland really could care less about Oscar Grant and just wanted to use what happened to him as an excuse to steal and vandalize people's property? Nah, it couldn't be that dam simple. It is so ironic that in this video a young black male is saying in a megaphone to be "non violent" and the next thing you hear is the glass to a foot locker store being broken. As Obama once said, this is a "teachable moment". Black are bigger hypocrites when it comes to racial issues then white liberals are. If the young black unarmed man Oscar Grant was shot and killed by a black Oakland street thug, Oscar would have been a five second story on the nightly Oakland News and that would have been it. 83 people wouldn't have been arrested. This wouldn't have been a national story. There wouldn't have been no riots etc etc etc. This fact really can't be disputed. The teachable moment with the riots in Oakland as with the riots that happened in South Central Los Angeles is crystal clear. A black person's life really doesn't have much value until that person is killed by a white person. Allow me to further illustrate my point. I doubt that if Rodney King was beaten up by seven or ten young black men with sticks, his beating wouldn't have been a national story.Try this one on for size. Hundred of black men and woman are killed on the streets of America every year. Their murders aren't at the hands of the Klu Klux Klan, the Aryan Nation or rogue police officers. Their murderers are other blacks mainly young black men. I'm sure there are people foaming at the mouth reading this. All I can say is "prove me wrong". The dark reality is that in 2010, blacks have more to fear from young black males then from any other racial group in this country. In the hip hop culture, black rappers glorify killing other black men. This is a "song" by a rapper known as "Mobb Deep". Listener discretion is advised.
Let me get back to the shooting case of Mr. Grant for a moment. Mr. Johannes Mehserle should go to jail for what he did. Accident or not, there is no excuse. In the heat of the moment could Mr. Mehserle have mistaken his teaser for his gun? It is possible, but it just happened to be a fatal judgment call. That doesn't give blacks in Oakland the green light to act like savage idiots. The old saying is that each generation is suppose to become weaker and wiser. With young blacks, that doesn't seem to be the case at all. As a black male, it was beyond embarrassing watching blacks in South Central Los Angeles destroying their city over a two bit hood rat drunk who was beaten by the LAPD. Now I have to watch black men making fools out of themselves yet again over an incident that wasn't racist in nature. Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the election of Barack Obama suppose to have ushered in the era of "post racial harmony" or something like that?

Houston, we have a problem!!!
Remember when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA for short was responsible for performing space exploration and science experiments? Well it looks like those days are over. The virus of political correctness has reached it's tentacles again onto another host. It's no shocker that Obama has a huge hang up on pandering to Muslims, but what he wants to do with NASA has gone way too far. The other day, Obama's new NASA Administrator Charles Bolden was interviewed by the Muslim television network Al Jezzera. So I know what you all are asking yourself. Why would the Administrator for NASA be interviewed by Al Jezzera? The old saying goes that "truth is sometimes stranger then fiction". In this case it is indeed that. Apparently Mr. Bolden and Obama want to make NASA an "outreach program" to the Muslim World.
For a person who claims to be a Christian, Obama sure has a fixation on wanting to be liked by "the Muslim world".
Does Obama believe that if Muslims are floating in space that will lead to them not blowing themselves up or killing in the name of Allah? It's inconceivable that Barack Obama would want to change NASA into some sort of Muslim social feel good experiment. I doubt Obama and Bolden will ever have a Christian, Jewish, Buddhist or Hindu outreach. Call me crazy.

A simple thought for Independence Day
Our nation didn't become a great nation just because of it's citizens. It became a great nation due to the fact that it's citizens placed prosperity and freedom above all else. When a people don't have to worry about being oppressed, they are free to unleash their god given talents and thus the nation benefits as a whole. Ordinary people coming together to create an extraordinary nation like none other. That is why the word "Independence" is so important. With our neo Marxist president and his cronies running our country. It is important now more then ever that we don't let these people "fundamentally transform our country" as Obama said.
The people become weak when the government has the power. I will let Agustus from the black conservative show sum it all up.

Sarah Palin one year later
Today marks the one year anniversary of Sarah Palin "shocking" the political world by resigning as governor of Alaska. I put the word "shocking" in quotes for a reason. The Palin hating drones have been going non stop trying to tag her as being a "quitter". Their regurgitating claim of course is merely a half truth. The Palin hating left and even some on the right will never admit to the reason why Sarah Palin resigned a year ago today. For them to admit the obvious would shine a negative light onto them. This is what I mean. When Sarah Palin left Alaska in September of 2008 to join John McCain as his running mate in Ohio, the political world never heard of this woman. She enjoyed a 70% approval rating in her state of Alaska as governor, more importantly she had no frivolous lawsuit hanging over her head. When Palin returned to Alaska after the election, then everything changed very quickly. As soon as Palin returned to her role as governor the ethic violation lawsuits against Palin by her enemies started. The goal by the left was beyond obvious at the time. They wanted to bankrupt Sarah Palin under the crushing weight of the legal bills she racked up in defending herself. Before Palin left office, her legal bill was a little over $ 600,000. I believe that the cause behind Palin resigning says more about how evil and vindictive the left is more so then the actual act of Palin resigning.
The abstract phoniness of the left really annoys me at times. They know as do I that if they were in Palin's shoes and they had a chance to pay off their legal debt by writing a book and not declaring bankruptcy in office, they would do exactly what she did. Most Americans would have done the same thing. Sarah robbed her fanatic haters of being ruined while still in office, so they had to resort to plan B and label her a quitter instead. I understand the liberal mind like the back of my hand. These people aren't hard to figure out. Sarah is way to proud to ever admit that the cost of the lawsuits is ultimately what caused her to resign, because she knows that would be admitting that her enemies influenced her actions to resign. If she does decide to run for the Republican nomination for president in 2012, she is going to have to tackle the resignation issue head on and just come clean and admit that she resigned in order to pay off her legal debts in defending herself against 20 frivolous ethic complaint suits. Because she didn't go into detail over her resignation, many Americans believe she just resigned for the hell of it. Since her resignation, she has done more to help fight her enemies then she could have ever done while still being governor of Alaska. I didn't buy her excuse for a minute that she didn't want to be a lame duck governor. I also understand that at the time she did the right thing by not giving her enemies the satisfaction of letting her enemies know that their actions influenced her decision. The best way for Sarah Palin to get even on the left that tried to destroy her is for her to simply do what they dread her doing, just run in 2012.

What If the Real 'Big One' Hits the Northeast?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- We've been quite lucky that no major hurricanes have hit the United States over the past seven years.
In the wake of the massive flood damage caused by the Category 1 Hurricane Sandy in late October and an excellent concert last Wednesday at Madison Square Garden to raise funds for victims' relief, that may seem like a strange statement, but "none of the twenty major hurricanes forming in the Atlantic basin in the past six years have impacted the U.S. coastline at major hurricane strength," according to the Tropical Meteorology Project.
A major hurricane is a storm of Category 3, 4 or 5, "which reaches a sustained low-level wind of at least 111 mph (96 knots or 50 ms-1) at some point in its lifetime," according to the Tropical Meteorology Project, which is led by William Gray, professor emeritus of atmospheric science at Colorado State University.
The Odds of a Big One
While the Project's quantitative hurricane forecast for 2013 will not be released until April 10, the group's Dec. 7 Extended Range Forecast of Atlantic Seasonal Hurricane Activity and Landfall Strike Probability for 2013 includes a "qualitative discussion" on various factors underlining a very busy period for hurricane activity, that is likely to continue.
According to the Dec. 7 report, the past seven years have been quite unusual, with no major hurricanes hitting the mainland, following a very difficult 2004 and 2005, "when seven of 13 major hurricanes made U.S. landfall," including the catastrophic Hurricane Katrina, which hit New Orleans in late August 2005. The Tropical Meteorology Project said that "The last 100-year climatology indicates that approximately 30% of all major hurricanes that form in the Atlantic basin make U.S. landfall as major hurricanes."
While the Dec. 7 report didn't contain specific number predictions, it did include probabilities for tropical storm and hurricane hits for 2013. The probability of a "named storm" hitting the East Coast, including Florida, is 81%, while the probability of Category 1 or 2 hurricane hitting is 44%, with a 31% probability of a major hurricane of Category 3, 4 or 5 making landfall, during 2013.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

January 2014
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently issued new rules that include increased reimbursement and the new use of a level II HCPCS code for single-use/pocket-sized negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system.
The final rules incorporate an increase in mean reimbursement from $209 in 2013 to $276 in 2014, according to the CMS. The increase in existing reimbursement applies to the Ambulatory Payment Classification 0016 and HCPCS G-codes. The CMS announced that these new rules were effective beginning on January 1, 2014.
Kazu Suzuki, DPM, CWS, is pleased with the ruling and hopeful about what this could mean for future single-use NPWT system implementation.
"It is rather rare to get an increase in reimbursement in anything in today's healthcare climate," explains Dr. Suzuki. "I'm hoping that this reimbursement increase will facilitate faster implementation of these single-use NPWT systems as the treatment cost is one of the major factors in using disposable medical devices."
In his practice, Dr. Suzuki says he regularly uses both the PICO (Smith & Nephew) and SNaP (Spiracur) single-use NPWT systems. Additionally, he sometimes uses Prevena (KCI) for incisions and notes that patients have given positive feedback for this device in terms of comfort.
Dr. Suzuki mainly uses single-use NPWT systems on elderly patients who may find traditional NPWT "too heavy and cumbersome."
"(The single-use NPWT system) is a nice alternative for traditional battery-operated NPWT, which is sometimes too heavy for some of my frail and elderly patients," adds Dr. Suzuki, the Medical Director of the Tower Wound Care Center at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers in Los Angeles.
Dr. Suzuki will also utilize the single use device as a transition between VAC therapy and a conventional wound dressing. However, the single-use devices are somewhat limited in their draining suction capacity in comparison to larger NPWT devices, explains Dr. Suzuki.
According to Dr. Suzuki, when using single-use NPWT systems over traditional battery-operated NPWT systems, practitioners will need to purchase single use units ahead of time and keep them on stock in their facility. Secondly, Dr. Suzuki notes that one must change the single-use NPWT systems once or twice a week, which differs from traditional battery-operated systems that require changing three times per week.
"I was hesitant and skeptical at first, but I found out quickly that single-use NPWT work just as well as the battery-operated NPWT. The 'negative pressure (suction force)' is all the same, regardless of the manufacturer," adds Dr. Suzuki.
Can Hallux Valgus Surgery Improve Balance And Gait In Older Patients?
By Brian McCurdy, Senior Editor
A new study in the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association has concluded that in older patients, hallux valgus surgery may have positive effects on gait and balance.
Researchers obtained gait and static balance data from 40 adults. There were 19 patients with preoperative hallux valgus, 10 patients who recently had successful hallux valgus surgery and 11 control participants. Authors note that despite similar age and body mass index, post-op patients exhibited 29 percent and 63 percent less center of mass sway during double-and single-support balance assessments respectively in comparison with pre-op patients. The patients' overall gait performance was similar among the groups, except that post-op patients experienced lower speed during gait initiation in comparison with the preoperative group.
Study co-author Lowell Weil Jr., DPM, FACFAS, notes that the study population consisted of older adults so researchers are not necessarily certain how bunion surgery will affect balance control in those over 65. He says the mean age for the hallux valgus post-op group was 50 ± 9.4.
"We are not advocating bunion surgery for the sole purpose of restoring or improving balance," clarifies Dr. Weil, the President of the Weil Foot and Ankle Institute. "The indications for bunion surgery, we believe, should still be foot pain and the inability to ambulate productively and/or comfortably regardless of patient age."

Silver Camden Rose Skinny Stretch Jean 5 5
LOVE THEM!! I am 5'4 and 120 lbs and I ordered the 26. This is my normal size, they are a tad tight but they will definitely stretch so I'm glad I got the 26 regardless. These jeans are so cute I could not be happier! They arrived 3 days early as well :) The 31 length is pretty good too, it is long so it scrunches at the bottom a little. Not sure if I will get them shortened or not but if I do it would just be by one inch. Just perfect around the ankle too, not super tight like a jegging but not too wide to wear with wedges either! I will be searching for similar pairs! Also, some other reviews said the material was too thin, I don't feel this way. Its not like spandexy jegging material and it's not super thick like Rock Revivals can be, it's right in the middle so I'd say they're just right! January 17, 2015
silver camden rose skinny stretch jean I love these jeans they fit me perfect, they are a great pair of jeans. December 13, 2014
Order way up Cute skinnies in principle, but way way off as far as sizing. Went into to the "possibly can fit into them some day" pile. Fairly thin material. Not your typical Silver jeans. September 27, 2014
love camden rose I love these jeans. The material does feel a bit thin as someone else stated. I do feel that they run a little snug...so you may want to size up. Love the look and fit of Camden Rose. By far my favorite. July 24, 2014
Cheap! This was my first pair of Silver Jeans in a long time, and they are very poorly made, and the fabric is much thinner than their normal jeans. I won't be buying Silver Jeans for a very long time. March 8, 2013

Three Trends That Could Transform the Retail Payments Experience
- |
- 9:58 am |
- Permalink
At PayPal I have the opportunity to see a lot of new technologies before they're ready for prime time. Some we create, others are created by other companies in various industries. I do my best to save enough time away from the corporate side of the job to spend as much time as I can geeking out on these new technologies and charting the future with our amazing teams. Lately, I've been looking at three technologies that might truly change the retail experience as we know it.
The Advent of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
I've written about this in the past, but the proliferation of BLE chips in devices will enable the industry to create very precise, fast, and secure shopping and payment experiences that are both location and context relevant. We're big fans of BLE at PayPal – so much so that we created our own Beacon. PayPal Beacon is different from other beacons because it's connected to the Internet, enabling you to pay hands-free even when your phone data connection is poor or non-existent. I truly believe that in a lot of shopping environments, we shouldn't line up to pay at a specific location. We should be able to grab what we want and go. Beacons combined with our nearly 150 million active customers should enable that at scale as we roll this technology out.
For years I've been saying NFC was a technology in search of a problem, designed and embraced by companies thinking about their own interests rather than solving a problem for consumers. Year after year, at the Mobile World Congress, the industry has been issuing press releases about the advent of NFC the following year. And year after year, I've been very vocal about NFC not becoming mainstream. So far I've been right. Have you ever seen a consortium of mobile carriers, banks, OEMs, and associations, who each want a piece of the action delivering a good consumer product experience? Me neither. The crux of the issue of the original approach of NFC was the Secure Element. The Secure Element, as its name indicates, is meant to keep financial information secure. The problem? Everybody keeps fighting over who gets to control it, because the entity that controls it becomes the toll master for every transaction that takes place. This led to interesting battles between financial institutions, OEMs, and carriers. And this is main reason why Google Wallet on NFC only launched on the Sprint network. The other carriers wanted their own solution, ISIS, to be the only one available to their subscribers.
But something changed late last year. The Android team at Google started supporting and pushing another standard (not exclusively for payments) called NFC HCE, or Host Card Emulation. The beauty with this move is that it doesn't require the whole industry fighting over control for the Secure Element. The Android team approached us with this initiative late last year to collect our feedback on implementation. For the first time ever, I saw a glimmer of hope for NFC in some shopping configurations. Those where you need to be at a specific place in the store to pay — think multilane grocery vs. the Apple Store experience of paying wherever you are. Two more events are worth noting. One is the accelerated pace to move to EMV — chip and PIN vs. mag stripe on a card — since the major credit card breaches with large retailers, which will lead to more NFC-enabled terminals by 2016. And the second one is Visa embracing the HCE approach. It's worth noting that our approach to security is somewhat different, as we don't share your financial information when you shop.
The bottom line is that I'm moving from being a massive skeptic of NFC, to being cautiously optimistic on NFC HCE take-up in very specific shopping use cases. But I still passionately believe that paying hands-free through a BLE Beacon and notifying the merchant you're in the store through that method will enable more transformative experiences for consumers and retailers alike.
Smartwatches and Wearables
We live in a world of notifications. Apps of all kinds are fighting for our attention all day. And one of the things that struck me after playing with smartwaches quite a bit, is how it is the absolute best device for managing and responding to notifications. For example, we have a pilot running in our on-campus Starbucks that combines Beacon, with an app built for the Samsung Galaxy Gear 2, and Gear Fit devices. Walk into the area covered by the Beacon, your watch notifies you you've checked in, the barista greets you by name because your photo shows up on the point-of-sale system, and when she rings you up, you get another push notification. Tap on the watch to confirm the payment, and go. This is one of the most transformative payments experiences I've had. No wallet. The phone never leaves my pocket. And I'm in control.
In the next 2 years, I believe we're going to see more and better smartwatches hit the market (maybe a major new one this year?), and I'm now convinced the Swiss watch industry is going to be in trouble. And it pains me, being a lover of beautiful automatic watches. But the utility and functionality of smartwatches will be a tsunami for that industry if they don't adapt very quickly. All smartwatches will have a Bluetooth Low Energy, some may have NFC, which combined might make these devices the ultimate in-store payment instrument.
So will it be one technology winning over another? No. This is not, and has never been, about technology. It's about building amazing shopping experiences reinforcing the human connection in the retail environment. It's about combining a digital wallet in the cloud with whatever technology makes sense in the right context, and keeping customers safe at all times.
These are very, very exciting times where we get to redefine how hundreds of millions of people will move to the digital age of money. I can't wait to unleash some of these great products and innovations to our customers around the world.
David Marcus is President of PayPal.

This is my first post, so I would like to say hello to everyone. I just recently got my ccp, and the only weapon I feel comfortable carrying is my snub smith 66 .357. Its a good caliber, but only holds 6 rounds. So, I am in the market for a new concealable gun. I bought a p220 around January, but that was just for target/fun before I thought of carrying. It is just to big to carry all the time. I know a lot of people are moving toward striker fired pistols, but they just seem to not be safe to me. I have shot a couple of glocks, but I am not very accurate with them. I think it is because of the trigger, but it is probably just me. I was looking at the ppq in .40, and if I got a striker fired it would be it, but I don't want to get it because of the fact it is polymer framed. Am I just being unreasonable?
I guess what I am trying to get to is, if you were to choose a non striker fired pistol for carry, what would it be? I can work with a 9mm if the capacity is good, but just looking for another opinion because I don't really have the opportunity to shoot at ranges and rent guns due to the fact that I live in the "sticks." But any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Connors, Rumpf & Gove: Seismic Blasting Project in Atlantic Ocean Puts Environment, NJ Fishing Industry at Risk
Consistent with their long-standing commitments to protect the environment and support New Jersey's economically successful fishing industry, the 9th District legislative delegation is backing a legislative effort to stop planned seismic testing authorized by the federal government in the Atlantic Ocean near Barnegat Bay.
Senator Christopher J. Connors has joined on to SR-72 and Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove have introduced the companion resolution AR-220 which urges the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to cancel all plans relating to the performance of seismic testing in the Atlantic Ocean near Barnegat Bay.
Kyrillos Hails Major Monmouth County Park Addition; Slams Port Authority for Reneging
Senator Joe Kyrillos (R-Monmouth) issued the following statement commending today's action that will add 90 acres of Aberdeen Township open space for a new 250-acre Monmouth County park.
"The Monmouth County Freeholders led by Freeholders Burry and Arnone, Aberdeen Mayor Fred Tagliarini and its Council together with the Baykeeper and the Monmouth Conservation Foundation have done a tremendous job to create this park, which was several years in the making due to unthinkable complications. They've set an example for the rest of New Jersey and its local governments by finding a creative open space solution that will benefit generations to come.
Editorial: Don't Be Fooled by the Noise – PARCC Benefits Our Children and Future
The following editorial by Senator Joe Kyrillos (R-13) on PARCC testing was published in the Asbury Park Press:
When I think about policies that affect education in New Jersey, I immediately think of fellow parents who want their children to live happy, healthy lives and to have access to countless opportunities. Our common dream is for our children to be provided with the best possible education to succeed in whatever path they choose: college or a career.
For students who attend college, poor preparation leads to remediation that drains their time and money. According to the 2010 Report of the Governor's Task Force on Higher Education, approximately 70% of first-year students at community colleges took remedial courses, costing approximately $70 million per year in non-credit tuition at community colleges. New Jersey's private colleges and universities reported that the annual cost for remediation was $21.6 million.
The costly truth is that many New Jersey graduates are borrowing money to pay for remedial instruction they should have received in high school.
Similarly, too many high school graduates who enter the workforce lack the necessary skills and knowledge to fill thousands of high-quality jobs, according to state business leaders.
Budget Officer Bucco: Let's Complete Necessary Groundbreaking Reform
Senate Republican Budget Officer Anthony Bucco (R-Morris) stated the following in response to this afternoon's Fiscal Year 2016 New Jersey budget address:
"Every legislator, every hard-working resident, every job creator can be excited today that productive negotiations and compromise are once again happening in Trenton to ensure that state health and pension benefit systems can become affordable, sustainable and solvent for taxpayers and beneficiaries.
"This can be a dream come true: with the groundwork already laid out, the Christie administration, the state's bipartisan, independent commission, labor unions and the legislature must now seize this opportunity to complete groundbreaking and necessary reform."
Editorial: Why Are New Jersey Roads the Costliest in the Nation?
The following editorial by Senator Michael Doherty (R-23) on transportation funding was published in the Times of Trenton, Express-Times and Daily Record:
There has been much discussion recently about a report on state highway systems by the Reason Foundation that found New Jersey's roads to be the nation's most expensive to build, operate and maintain.
According to that report, New Jersey's state-administered highways cost taxpayers $2 million per mile, which the Reason Foundation claims to be 12 times the national average, three times the cost in the next highest state and four times the cost in New York.
Connors Receives "Distinctive Alumni Leadership Award" from Stockton College

Panel Passes Bucco Bill from New Jobs Package to Help Keep & Attract Employers
The Senate Budget & Appropriations Committee unanimously passed legislation sponsored by Senate Republican Budget Officer Anthony Bucco to help ultimately eliminate the actual reasons why employers leave New Jersey.
"Legislators and governors hear anecdotes as to why employers leave our state, and as a small business owner, I have considered leaving this state due to the high costs and oppressive regulations," said Bucco (R-Morris). "But too often companies leave this state or shut their doors or lay people off without a full and detailed understanding as to all the reasons why. This legislation will provide state leaders with the answers necessary to correct the actual root causes of job loss here and, in turn, make New Jersey more attractive to job creators."
Committee Advances Kean's E-Driver's License Legislation
The Senate Transportation Committee passed bipartisan legislation sponsored by Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean to require the state Motor Vehicle Commission to study and make recommendations about implementing electronic driver's licenses and mobile applications.
"Whenever feasible we must bring public services directly to where the people are, whether that's social media or mobile phones," said Kean (R-Union, Somerset, Morris). "An e-driver's license will be more convenient for the vast majority of residents, while making one of the most-used government services more efficient and less costly."
Committee Advances Bucco, Pennacchio Bill to Facilitate Driver's License Name Changes
The Senate Transportation Committee has advanced legislation sponsored by Senators Anthony Bucco and Joe Pennacchio to allow widows to obtain a driver's license with their maiden name, after the death of a spouse.
"Widows endure enough suffering, complications and stress after the passing of their spouses, and with that in mind, forcing them to get a court order to change their name on a driver's license is unnecessary and absurd," Bucco said. "This is common-sense legislation to responsibly allow widows to resume the use of their maiden names without having to deal with layers of bureaucracy and jump through crazy hoops."
"There's no need for it to be this difficult for a widow to reclaim their maiden name on their license," said Transportation Committeeman Pennacchio. "The current requirements are just another example of heavy-handed bureaucracy. This legislation provides a simple fix and will give spouses one less thing to worry about during what is certainly already a challenging time."
Senators Kean & Lesniak Unite Religious Leaders To Form 'Faith Leaders Against Violence'
Acting to educate and advocate against the proliferation of violent religious-backed attacks worldwide, Senators Tom Kean and Ray Lesniak on Monday announced the formation of a coalition of interfaith leaders from across New Jersey to create "Faith Leaders Against Violence."
The mission of Faith Leaders Against Violence (Faithleadersagainstviolence.org) is to join leaders from all faiths and denominations in one strong voice that delivers a simple message: religion must never be an excuse for violence. Through education, community based programming and demonstration, Faith Leaders Against Violence will leverage its access to members of all religions to promote a common voice against all forms of violence.
"Our coalition signifies the benevolent power of religion, spreading peace and good will," said Senate Republican Leader Kean. "It shows that various faiths can and must unite to celebrate the common bonds that can unite diverse families, communities, states and nations. We are solidified across political party lines, geographic borders and belief structures to set a strong tone of peace, against persecution, hatred and violence by terrorists claiming to act in the name of God."

Doctor Who and the War Games (Classic Novel)
David Troughton reads this thrilling novelisation of a classic Doctor Who adventure. Mud, barbed wire, the smell of death...
The year is 1917 and the TARDIS has materialised on the Western Front during the First World War. Or has it? For very soon the Doctor finds himself pursued by the soldiers of Ancient Rome; and, then he and his companions are reliving the American Civil War of 1863. And is this really Earth, or just a mock-up created by the War Lords? As Doctor Who solves the mystery, he has to admit he is faced with an evil of such magnitude that he cannot combat it on his own - he has to call for the help of his own people, the Time Lords. So, for the first time, it is revealed who is Doctor Who - a maverick Time Lord who 'borrowed' the TARDIS without permission. By appealing to the Time Lords he gives away his position in Time and Space. Thus comes about the Trial of Doctor Who...
David Troughton reads Malcolm Hulke's complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1979.

Has D.C. learned Econ 101? By: Joseph Gyourko November 15, 2011 09:34 AM EST
Leveraged bets as high as 30 to 1 on risky investments with little equity cushion against potential losses is what helped bring down the likes of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Think it can't happen again? It's about to — with the Federal Housing Administration.
This could put taxpayers on the hook again for tens of billions of dollars – and possibly much more.
The agency's annual report is set for release Tuesday. If it doesn't own up to the huge risk it's taking on, it will be a distressing sign that Washington has not learned from those earlier failures.
When the mortgage market imploded in 2008, FHA shifted from being a backstop for relatively poorer borrowers to the lender of last resort. In 2007, FHA insured the mortgages of just 6 percent of new home purchases. By 2010, it insured 30 percent. Its insurance guarantees tripled from $305 billion in 2007 to more than $1 trillion today. Meanwhile, its capital reserve has fallen perilously low — to less than one-third its required level.
If home prices rise, unemployment drops and defaults decline all in short order, then FHA's strategy of tripling down on its insurance guarantees will pay off. Unfortunately for taxpayers, my research shows that FHA has seriously underestimated the risk it has taken on since 2008 — by as much as $50 billion. If the housing and labor markets take another turn for the worse, then FHA – and taxpayers – are in even bigger trouble.
Congress shouldn't wait for the bottom to drop to act. Election years are difficult ones to pass reform — but at the very least, Congress should strengthen FHA's capital reserves.
More broadly, we need to have a serious conversation about the government's role in promoting high home ownership, when the costs of achieving it are so high.
FHA's extraordinary recent growth represents a sharp increase in its insurance of mortgages taken out by borrowers typically making down payments of less than 5 percent of home value. Given so small an equity cushion, and the fact that house prices have fallen consistently since FHA began its rapid expansion, it is no surprise that more than half of FHA's insurance is on mortgages backed by homes with negative equity.
Negative home equity and unemployment are the two primary triggers of mortgage default — and both will affect FHA's fortunes for the foreseeable future.
FHA's position is precarious even if housing and labor markets do not weaken further because it has substantially underestimated the risk of its insurance liabilities. Various weaknesses in its statistical modeling and risk analysis have led it to understate the probability of future defaults and insurance losses.
One example is from the recent stimulus program to provide up to $8,000 in tax credits for first-time homebuyers. We now know this had little lasting impact on the housing market.
To make matters worse, it encouraged people to buy homes with little or no personal equity investment. Essentially, taxpayers provided down-payment assistance. Existing research indicates that defaults will be high among those who did not make the down payment out of their own resources. It is likely that FHA insured mortgages on one million or more of these purchases in 2009-2010. These costs alone could be more than $10 billion. FHA also underestimates the extent of negative equity in its insurance portfolio; incorrectly evaluates the risk of its mortgages that refinance, and has made other decisions that give false hope about how large future defaults and insurance losses will be. These factors are not minor, according to my research, but amount to more than $50 billion of future losses beyond what FHA expects. While it's true that these losses would be spread over several years, a recapitalization is still urgently needed. Just to meet the minimum capital required by law will require an infusion of between $50 and $100 billion on top of its current reserves of $30 billion. And, if house prices fall further, or unemployment increases, even more money will be needed. Large losses are to be expected when insuring extremely highly leveraged investments. These investments are risky even in the best of economic environments - and become markedly more so in weak ones. If we want the federal government to be in that business, the only sensible strategy is to properly reserve for high expected losses – not triple down again on what is now a trillion-dollar taxpayer exposure and hope for the best. Having proper reserves in place also makes clear the true costs of being in this business. There are social benefits of higher homeownership. But we cannot tell if they outweigh the costs of achieving it if we systematically underestimate them. Joseph Gyourko is the Martin Bucksbaum professor of real estate, finance and business & public policy at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. This essay is adapted from a paper he prepared for the American Enterprise Institute.

Thrifty types rejoice at JetBlue's rock-bottom fares; the airline lands at the sane and spiffy Ft. Lauderdale airport, where the Airport Express will pick you up and shuttle you to South Beach in about an hour ($18). There, the new Standard Hotel (pictured), André Balazs's minimalist spa sanctuary, is stylish, sexy—and affordable. For as low as $225 per night in high season, you get blond wood beds layered with white Egyptian cotton; low-slung Modernist couches in the lobby; and a Mud Lounge where guests slather themselves with "clarifying" goop. While it's located on the bay, not the ocean, the stroll to the beach along Lincoln Road, the pedestrian mall where locals go to parade themselves, makes for great window shopping and people watching (though compared to the beach, those people sure have a lot of clothes on). Hungry? Head over to Calle Ocho, the vibrant main street of Little Havana, where the daily specials at El Pub, such as Cuban roast pork and carne asada, are cheap but filling, and where you can sip syrup-thick cafés cubanos ($1) to fuel you for the rest of the day—and night. But the ultimate budget activity is the beach, hombre! Suit up and head for the sand at South Pointe Park—in front of the glitzy Nikki Beach Club—and just try to keep your wandering eyes to yourself.

Voters have decided to recall the mayor of Wilson, according to the Louisiana Secretary of State's office.
The margin was 55 percent to 45 percent, with an unofficial voter turn out of more than 62 percent.
A recall petition accused Mayor Joshua Thomas of refusing to work with the board of alderman and firing valuable town employees.
Thomas had asked a judge to throw out the petition on the grounds it was improperly filled out, but an appeals court panel ruled against him last week.
