Florida had a $66.5 billion state budget for FY 2009-2010, passed by the Florida State Legislature on May 8, 2009 and signed by Gov. Charlie Crist on May 27, 2009.[1][2] Gov. Crist line-item vetoed two provisions, a 2% pay cut on state workers and a transfer of $6 million from the concealed weapons trust fund.[3] The budget included an increase in tobacco taxes ($1.00 per pack of cigarettes) and $900 million in increased revenue from expanding gambling.[4] $4.7 billion was from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.[5] Florida was estimated to receive $12.2 billion from ARRA over three fiscal years.[6]
The 2009-2010 budget included: $26 billion (39%) for health/human services, $21.3 billion (32%) for education, $9.3 billion (14%) for natural resources/transportation/economic development, $5.2 billion (8%) for justice/corrections, and $4.7 billion (7%) for general government.[7]
The Florida State Legislature had to meet in a special session in early January 2009 before the regular session to close a $2.5 billion gap for 2008-2009 budget.[8] The legislature reached a budget deal to close the then-current budget year on January 11, 2009 with $1.2 billion in cuts and $1.6 billion in transfers and trims to leave a cushion of about $300 million going into the regular session.[9]
Florida's Director of the Office of Policy and Budget, Jerry L. McDaniel, sent out a memorandum on October 12, 2009 to the executives of state agencies advising them of an anticipated $2.6 billion shortfall for the upcoming 2010-2011 budget. While general fund revenues expected limited growth, Medicaid and other expense increases would consume it.[10]
The 2010-2011 revenues for the general fund would be the first fiscal year to see an increase, 6.8%, after four consecutive years of negative collections. 8.2% revenue growth was projected for 2011-2012 and 2012-2013.[11]
Budget background
- See also: Florida state budget and finances
"The budget development process has three major phases: agency requests, governor's recommendations and legislative adoption. Following instructions issued jointly by the governor's office and the legislature in July, state agencies begin developing long-range program plans and budget requests which lay out the programs and funding needs of each agency for the next fiscal year. By mid-October, these requests are submitted to the governor for consideration in the recommended budget. The legislature convenes in its regular session beginning in March. The budget passed by the legislature is valid for one year, beginning each July 1, and ending on June 30."[12]
The 2010 regular legislative session was scheduled March 2 to April 30, 2010.[13] Article III, section 3(d) of the Florida State Constitution stipulates regular sessions shall not exceed 60 consecutive days and special sessions shall not exceed 20 days.[14]
Florida does not have a personal income tax.[15]

Accounting principles
- See also: Florida government accounting principles
David W. Martin was Florida's Auditor General. The Auditor General is a constitutional officer appointed by the Joint Legislative Auditing Committee. The appointment is confirmed by both houses of the legislature. The department's audit reports are available online.[16]
Florida combined the offices of the State Treasurer and State Comptroller into the position of Chief Financial Officer after voters passed a constitutional amendment in November 1998. Florida's Chief Financial Officer was Alex Sink, elected in 2006. The Chief Financial Officer oversees the Department of Financial Services. The Florida legislature in 2002 merged the state Department of Insurance, Treasury and State Fire Marshal and the Department of Banking and Finance into the Department of Financial Services.[17]

Budget status, 2008-2009
As early as November 2006, Florida had the second-most foreclosures in the country with 95,862 homes foreclosed upon in just the third quarter of that year.[19] In November 2007, Florida's government began withdrawing money from a multi-billion dollar investment pool that funded local cities and school districts over concerns of investments linked to subprime mortgages.[20] In 2007, Florida also began cutting spending in an effort to balance the budget.[21] A year later, in December 2008, Florida only trailed Arizona in the number of foreclosures, and it implemented a voluntary, 45 day moratorium on home foreclosures.[22] Although this led to a 20% decline in foreclosures for January 2009, the Florida foreclosure rate remained one in 214 homes.[22] The collapse of the housing sector was a major concern, particularly since it was predicted to continue on its downward spiral until 2010-2011.[23]
In addition to the far-reaching effects of the mortgage crisis, Florida faced long-term budget problems as a result of a decline in its major economic engines, building, migration and tourism, which had all declined. State revenue had declined for three years in a row, and the new fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009 had the potential to be the fourth.[21] With the fall in property taxes, school districts remained underfunded.[21] Also, since Florida does not have an income tax, it relies heavily on sales tax, corporate tax and real estate transaction taxes, which had all declined.[21]

2008 deficit elimination package
On January 14, 2009, the Florida legislature passed a deficit-elimination package, in an effort to close the budget shortfall for 2008.[26] The plan included:
- increases in traffic fines of $10 for every traffic ticket issued except for speeding tickets, which went up by $25 and an elimination of an 18% discount on tickets for those enrolled in driver's improvement courses;[26]
- a suspension in the environmental land program saving $4 million and canceling $250 million in bond sales;[26]
- a 10.5% cut in Medicaid payments to nursing homes and a tax increase on nursing homes;[26]
- a transfer of $400 million from a rainy day fund, leaving about $250 million in the fund;[26]
- a $466 million cut in education spending, an option for school administrators to volunteer for pay cuts and limiting the severance of teachers and administrators to one year;[26]
- a 2% decrease in teacher bonuses, saving the state $11 million;[26]
- a 4% cut in aid to state universities and community colleges for a savings of $157 million;[26]
- $700 million to be borrowed from a $1.2 billion endowment that invests money from tobacco settlements for future use on healthcare programs;[26]
- a $9.9 million cut in the state's public/private tourism agency, Visit Florida;[26]
- a 5% cut in a program that helps people with developmental disabilities, including autism;[26]
- an $190 million cut in a program that helps pay for low and moderate-income housing;[26]
- an elimination of 1,400 state jobs; and[26]
- a $3.75 million decrease in funding for cancer, cardiovascular, stroke and pulmonary diseases[26].
Stimulus funds
In February 2009, Governor Crist requested $2.3 billion in funds from the federal government.[27] Governor Crist stated, "I'm not a big-government fan, but there are times when government needs to help."[27] With President Obama's signing of the stimulus bill on February 17, 2009, Florida expected to receive $12 billion in federal funds.[21] Governor Crist believed that the federal funds would be enough to avoid further spending cuts if the legislature approved an agreement allowing Seminole Indians to expand gambling at tribal casinos in exchange for paying the state millions of dollars per year for the freedom to did so.[21]
Of the $12 billion, Florida might not have not been eligible for $3.5 billion because of a requirement that states that accepted stimulus money should not lower education spending below 2006 levels.[28] Florida had asked Secretary of Education Arne Duncan for a waiver so that they may receive the full $12 billion.[28][29]
On March 8, 2009, The Miami Herald reported that the state was considering borrowing against the Florida Prepaid College Board, a fund into which parents pay in order to lock in tuition rates for their children's future college tuition.[30] Some believed that because the fund was guaranteed by the state, the state should be able to borrow against the $8.8 billion fund.[30] Others disagreed, arguing that the state did not have the right to borrow against the fund and further, that this was another example of "lawmakers pillaging savings accounts and special funds."[30]
State budget websites and analysis
- See also: Evaluation of Florida state website
Florida had some level of transparency, including "Florida's Checkbook," an online spending database created by the state's Chief Financial Officer, Alex Sink.
Certain public agencies had failed to comply with open records laws.[31]
Economic stimulus transparency
- The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 designated $787 billion to be spent throughout the nation. Of that $787 billion stimulus package, it was estimated that 69%, or over $541 billion, would be administered by state governments.[32]
- It was estimated that Florida would receive at least $7.7 billion in federal funding.[33]
Five Florida project were noted in Senator Coburn's and Senator McCain's "Summertime Blues, 100 stimulus projects that give taxpayers the blues" report. One of the projects provided $13,304,484 in stimulus funds for repairs to Dry Tortugas National Park, the third-least visited national park in the continental United States, meaning a vast majority of taxpayers would never set foot on the island that was the park.[34] Another of the listed projects provided Winter Haven Area Transit with five new buses at a cost of $2.4 million, despite the fact that buses carried two to three riders per hour, according to the City Commission's liaison to the Transit authority.[34]
Error in ARRP
According to Recovery.gov, stimulus funds went to 884 congressional districts, though there are only 435.[35][36]
According to the ARRP website, the stimulus package "created or saved" more than 100 jobs in six Florida districts that did not exist.[37]
Florida Senate Bill 1796 "[d]irects the Legislative Auditing Committee to provide oversight and management of a state website providing information on governmental appropriations and expenditures" and "[r]equires the Executive Office of the Governor to establish a website providing information relating to each appropriation in the General Appropriations."[38] SB 1796 was signed by Governor Crist on May 27, 2009.[39]
Government tools
The following table is helpful in evaluating the level of transparency provided by a state spending and transparency database.
|State database
|Line item expenditures
|Dept./agency budgets
|Public employee salary
|Florida's Checkbook
- Florida's Checkbook was searchable, and was easy to navigate as it was categorized by type.[40]
- Contracts were available through search.[41] There was a vendor search, but one had to search by specific vendor.[42]
- Line item expenditures were available on the annual financial report, but not on budgets.[43]
- Department and agency budgets were available.[44]
- Public employee salaries were not available.
Support for creation of the database
The National Taxpayers Union urged representatives to support House Bill 181, which would have created a spending transparency database.[45]
Americans for Tax Reform also urged for transparency and made a statement to the Florida Finance and Tax Committee.

Will Congress Get Along In 2013?
By editor
A new Congress takes office today, after a nail-biting end to the last term. There were reports of choice words from House Speaker John Boehner to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, but Congress came together on a budget agreement. Guest host Celeste Headlee asks how congressional deals are made, and what to expect from the freshman class.

Rand lies to people
Don't believe Rand when he says stuff like this. He is clearly taking a neutral position here so that he doesn't get marginalized for his real views (it is probably safe to assume he has the same philosophy as the good doctor).
You guys need to stop taking him at his words and start supporting his strategy. Rand is clearly pandering to the voters so he can gain political power, which believe it or not, may be the only way to help the country at this point.
Rand Paul is probably in the best position out of anyone in the world to push the liberty agenda in a real and meaningful way. It's just disappointing that he has to lie to Americans to save them.
Stop attacking him and try to understand what he is doing. He is Ron Paul's son, and it is by no coincidence that he is in the senate and about to run for president. There is a big picture here that people on the DP need to grasp.

But a good, well performed covered tune is a hard thing to beat. I guess I just really enjoy hearing a song we all know and love transform and become something different. Here is my list of favorite cover tunes. This is far from being a complete list. It's not in any order. Just some of my favorites.

South Sudan
With the mission of "saving lives through health, clean water and agriculture," the Alaska Sudan Medical Project is a grassroots organization that works in a remote, impoverished village in South Sudan. Old Fangak has no infrastructure and little food or clean water. ASMP has helped changed that by providing clean water to 400 of the world's newest school children. We are not stopping there. This year we will drill MORE WELLS to give clean water to prospective students in surrounding areas.

The events of September 11, 2001, gave new urgency to the message, providing a wake-up call about the importance of educating Americans about the rest of the world and our inextricably entwined fates. This is not to say that U.S. higher education has been totally inactive with respect to internationalization. Many institutions have had long-standing international partnerships and study abroad programs, and have hosted impressive numbers of international students over time. Yet, rarely are institutional internationalization efforts strategic or coherent, or considered to be central to their academic mission or definition of quality. As is always the case, there is tremendous variation in the quantity, quality, and coherence of internationalization across campuses. But as the race to internationalize intensifies, it becomes all the more important to proceed with intentionality. For most institutions, "success" in internationalization is judged by a series of widely-used indicators of institutional performance, such as numbers of students going abroad, numbers of international students, or courses offered with an international or global focus. And as institutions around the world take up the challenge of internationalization, a robust literature has emerged outlining institutional indicators that help institutions judge their progress as well as to benchmark (see for example www.impi-project.eu, www.impi-toolbox.eu, www.nuffic.nl/international-organizations/services/quality-assurance-and-internationalization; www.nuffic.nl/mint, http://www.iau-aiu.net/content/global-surveys.) What these institutional activities mean for student learning is a different matter. Although many institutions cite producing "global citizens" as a goal, few have a clear set of learning outcomes associated with this label, a map of the learning experiences that produce such learning, or an assessment plan in place to determine whether they have achieved their goals. Clearly, institutional performance and the student learning perspectives can be related to each other, but one cannot assume causality in either direction. As anyone who has been engaged in assessing student learning knows all too well, the presence and quality of a given set of institutional activities or the participation rates in various courses or programs do not tell you anything about what students are learning. The field of education abroad has begun to seriously engage in the question of outcomes. It is no longer deemed acceptable in the field to cite the "it changed my life" argument as the self-evident truth of the positive impact of education abroad. The rapid growth of short-term education abroad programs has put into sharp relief the relationship of the learning achieved in these experiences to different program durations and pedagogies. As students go abroad for shorter periods of time, and are more likely to do so in a faculty-led program in the company of fellow U.S. students, it becomes even more important to determine the impact of these experiences on subject-matter learning, increased global awareness, and development of intercultural skills. The same questions must be asked of longer, more conventional programs, for there is no guarantee that "being there" produces learning, let alone "transformation." The good news is that institutions are taking up this challenge, increasingly using pre-and post-tests, journals, and portfolios to capture student learning in education abroad (for a list of useful research and resources, see http://www.nafsa.org/resourcelibrary/Default.aspx?id=31791.) Although education abroad receives a great deal of attention nationally, it is not synonymous with international or global learning. Although it is difficult to estimate the proportion of students who study abroad for credit during their undergraduate year, we do know that only 270,000 students out of more than 20 million enrolled in postsecondary education studied abroad in 2010(IIE, 2011; NCES, 2012). Thus, the key question for higher education institutions is how the overwhelming majority of students who do not go abroad will learn about the world and develop the intercultural skills they will need as citizens and workers. To address this question, institutions will need to be very clear about what knowledge and capacities students must learn, where and how they will learn them, and what constitutes evidence of such learning. Many institutions begin this work by including global learning as one or more of their stated goals of liberal education. And they need not reinvent the wheel in crafting a specific set of goals. The Association of American Colleges and Universities includes intercultural learning as one of the 15 essential learning outcomes of its VALUE initiative, (http://www.aacu.org/leap/vision.cfm) and also provides specific goals for liberal education and global citizenship (Musil, 2006). The American Council on Education also has also developed a list of global learning goals with institutional examples, drawn from the literature, and categorizing them under knowledge, skills, and attitudes (see Olson, Green, and Hill, 2006). It is important to note, however, that these first steps of stating global learning as a goal and crafting more specific goals are only the beginning of an ongoing process. Identifying which courses and programs actually enable students to acquire these skills and competencies is more difficult work. Having a global or international requirement as part of the general education sequence is one common way to ensure that every student gets at least a small dose, but certainly not the only one. Institutions also need to look at majors, programs, and individual courses, to map which ones address specific global learning goals. The next step involves assessment. It is through assessment that institutions can find out whether they are really producing "globally competent" graduates, "global citizens," or graduates who can navigate multicultural situations. And finally, institutions must take the crucial step of "closing the loop" (Banta & Blaich, 2011) by applying what they learned from assessment to improving curriculum and teaching. I recently produced (2012) a detailed guide on steps in assessing global learning and examples of good practice. As long as success in internationalization is measured largely or solely by institutional performance, colleges and universities will be missing the mark. Although internationalization, alas, is increasingly a matter of numbers, profile, and branding, the real measure of success should be how well students are equipped to live and work in a rapidly changing global environment.

A Handbook for Advancing Comprehensive Internationalization: What Institutions Can Do and What Students Should Learn. Washington, DC: American Council on Education. Demonstrating How Career Services Contribute to Student LearningNov 14, 2012 9:00 am2213 views Career services are too often thought of separate from the core learning activities in which students engage in classrooms, laboratories and studios. But dividing what students gain from college into academic learning (what happens in the classroom) and personal development (what happens outside of the classroom) is a byproduct of historical, physical structures in higher education institutions. Thinking about student accomplishment as bifurcated in this way does not serve either students or institutions well, as students grow, develop, and learn in a holistic fashion.1 Career services professionals are well-positioned to bridge the gap between the academic learning and personal development outcomes. They are educators who help students learn how to explore career options, make career decisions, and develop career management skills that students will use throughout their lifetime. Career interventions are the medium through which career professionals provide these learning opportunities to students. We intentionally use the term "career interventions," as opposed to "programs, services, and resources," as the latter are static entities that focus attention on the activities that are carried out by career professionals. Interventions, on the other hand, focus on the process of helping students change, develop, or move from point A to point B – essentially, to help students learn. Viewing career interventions as learning opportunities sets a high bar in terms of evaluating the effectiveness of career services on higher education campuses. If education and learning are to be at the core of career services, then learning outcomes must be measured to evaluate success. Fortunately, many career professionals in higher education are no strangers to the process of collecting evidence to show the influence of their work. They have been involved in gathering and interpreting data since the earliest days of the profession. Historically, the most common data-driven strategies for demonstrating the influence of career services have been counting participants, measuring satisfaction, and tracking placement rates. These data tell important parts of the story of career interventions – which students take part, how comfortable students are with their experiences, and where students go after their college experiences. However, these types of data have limitations that fall short of what contemporary times demand. When participation rates, satisfaction, or placement numbers are low, few insights can be gained regarding how or what to improve. Additionally, these strategies can encourage a "more is better" focus on increasing quantity with little attention to quality. A different approach is needed for career professionals to demonstrate the quality of their career interventions and the difference that career interventions make in students' lives. Career professionals must build upon past data collection and analysis experiences to rise to the challenge of conducting rigorous, meaningful learning outcomes assessments. Conducting learning outcomes assessments can be daunting for many career professionals, as it is with many other higher education faculty and staff. One approach is to focus on well-defined programs and services that have clear boundaries – a resume review, a career exploration workshop, career counseling appointments, and so on. Doing so can help keep assessment efforts manageable. Additionally, career professionals can often clearly identify interested parties, such as prospective and current students, families, institution administration, faculty, and student affairs staff who want to know whether career interventions make a difference in students' lives. Understanding what these audiences want to know offers career professionals clues regarding the types of learning outcomes to focus their assessment efforts on, as well as with whom to share the results. Furthermore, career services professionals often draw upon established guidelines (e.g., CAS Standards, National Career Development Guidelines)2 and theories (e.g., Holland's Typology, Planned Happenstance, Social Cognitive Career Theory, Super's Career-Life Roles) 3 to inform their career interventions. For example, the National Career Development Guidelines offers specific outcomes statements regarding the mastery of career management skills. One such skill, related to career decision-making, is that career development clients should be able to take into consideration how personal priorities, culture, beliefs, and work values affect their decision making by: (a) recognizing the role that these influences play in decision making, (b) showing examples of how these influences have affected them in the past, and (c) evaluating the impact of these influences in current career decision-making processes (p. 10). Attending to the content of guidelines and theory documents such as this helps career professionals clearly express desired milestones or outcomes of career interventions that can be measured in assessment efforts. Many career professionals are well-positioned to demonstrate the value of their services and career interventions through learning outcomes assessment. A continuing challenge is for career professionals to find a way to embrace the assessment of student learning in their day-to-day practice. Our advice is to think of assessing learning in terms of building a house. That is, have an overall plan, and start with activities that are of reasonable scale, and gradually build up, brick by brick. Focus on laying one brick at a time, no matter how small, and building a strong foundation—a rich body of evidence. Small, positive experiences with learning outcomes assessment can teach useful skills, build confidence and capabilities, and motivate future learning outcomes assessment efforts.4 More information on how career professionals can get started with learning outcomes assessment are described in a recent monograph from the National Career Development Association, entitled: Learning Outcomes Assessment Step-by-Step: Enhancing evidence-based practice in career services (http://tinyurl.com/7sy6krl). 1 Ideas presented in this paragraph are influenced by scholarship such as: American College Personnel Association.

Electronic Arts has announced that all three Mass Effect games will be bundled into a single title, Mass Effect Trilogy, for PC, Xbox 360 and shockingly, PlayStation 3, simply because Microsoft owns the rights to the first game.
The entire reason that the first game never appeared on the PS3 is due to Microsoft, and why players had to clumsily use a special download to have the major decisions have an effect on Mass Effect 2.
In addition, the first Mass Effect will be available as a PSN download on the day the Trilogy is released on the 7th November, which EA is calling "N7 Day".
Stay tuned as Strategy Informer tries to figure out what is going on, since EA and Microsoft must have had to have an agreement.

Subclavian stent implantation to alleviate coronary steal through a patent internal mammary artery graft.
ABSTRACT Interventional techniques are rapidly supplanting conventional surgical therapies for the treatment of brachiocephalic occlusive disease. Although coronary-subclavian steal has been successfully alleviated with subclavian angioplasty, we report the first use of a Palmaz stent in the left subclavian artery (SCA) of a patient with a compromised left internal mammary artery (IMA) graft.
A 65-year old male patient had undergone triple coronary artery bypass grafting in 1992, but 6 months later, severe narrowing occurred in two of the saphenous vein grafts, and arteriography identified a high-grade stenosis in the SCA supplying the left IMA graft to the left anterior descending coronary artery. Following balloon dilation of one saphenous vein graft stenosis, the left SCA was stented primarily with a P3008 Palmaz stent. Normal hemodynamics were restored, and the patient has been free of coronary steal symptoms for over 1 year.
This case illustrates yet another aspect to the usefulness of intravascular stents in restoring and maintaining inflow to bypass grafts.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of intravascular stents in the treatment of extracranial carotid artery occlusive disease. According to protocol, stent therapy was offered to symptomatic patients with > or = 70% arteriographically defined carotid stenoses or ulcerative lesions and, after September 1994, to asymptomatic patients with > or = 75% stenoses. From April 1993 to September 1995, 110 nonconsecutive patients (79 males; mean age 72 years, range 45 to 85) consented to participate in the study. The majority (79 [72%]) were asymptomatic. Lesions meeting the treatment criteria were in the proximal common (n = 3); mid common (n = 12); distal common (n = 8); internal (ICA) (n = 92); and external (n = 2) carotid arteries. Seven patients had bilateral ICA stenoses, and 17 patients were treated for postsurgical recurrent disease. The mean lesion length and diameter stenosis for all lesions were 12.4 +/- 9.2 mm and 86.5% +/- 10.6%, respectively. The procedures were performed either via direct percutaneous access to the cervical common carotid artery or through a retrograde femoral artery approach. Standard balloon dilation preceded deployment of balloon-expandable stents in most cases. No postprocedural anticoagulation was used (aspirin only). In 110 patients (117 arteries) intended for treatment, 109 (99.0%) (116 arteries [99.1%]) were successfully treated with 129 stents (128 Palmaz, 1 Wallstent). One percutaneous procedure failed (0.9%) for technical reasons (stent could not be deployed) and was converted to carotid endarterectomy. Minor complications included 4 cases of spasm (successfully treated with papaverine); 1 flow-limiting dissection (stented); and 6 access-site problems. There were 7 strokes (2 major, 5 reversible) (6.4%) and 5 minor transient events (4.5%) that resolved within 24 hours. Three patients were converted to endarterectomy (2.7%) prior to discharge; 1 stroke patient expired (0.9%), and another patient died of an unrelated cardiac event in hospital. In the 30-day postprocedural period, 2 ICA stents occluded (patients asymptomatic). Clinical success at 30 days (no technical failure, death, endarterectomy, stroke, or occlusion) was 89.1% (98/110). Over a mean 7.6-month follow-up (range 2 to 31), no new neurological symptoms developed. Another stent occlusion at 2 months and one case of flow-limiting intimal hyperplasia at 7 months were detected on routine duplex scanning in asymptomatic patients. Life-table analysis shows an 89% cumulative primary patency rate. Based on this early experience, carotid stenting appears feasible from a technical standpoint, with good midterm patency. However, the incidence of neurological sequelae is a serious problem. Technical enhancements and a more aggressive antiplatelet regimen may have a positive impact on these events.Journal of Endovascular Surgery 03/1996; 3(1):42-62.

ABSTRACT: The internal mammary artery is the preferred conduit for coronary bypass grafting; however, suboptimal flow through the internal mammary artery is sometimes found during the operation, and the conduit is abandoned. Subclavian artery stenosis, a well-recognized cause of reduced internal mammary artery flow, is easily and effectively treated with endovascular techniques. We describe a case of intraoperative primary stent deployment in a high-grade subclavian artery stenosis compromising internal mammary artery flow.The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 12/1999; 68(6):2333-4.

Chapter: Upper Limb Arterial Intervention[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The circulation of the upper limb can be affected by a broad variety of disorders. However, upper limb arterial disease is markedly less common than that seen in the lower limb. As a result, firm evidence regarding how specific lesions and disorders should be treated is often lacking. It would appear, however, that use of endovascular techniques in the management of upper limb arterial stenoses and occlusions is associated with fewer complications than open surgery, with acceptable clinical rates. Endovascular therapy is however not suitable for the treatment of TOS, because some form of surgical decompression is required.12/2006: pages 71-80;

Rev. Tom Thompson, pastor at St. Anne's Church, wanted to challenge the students with a real-life exercise from the Bible.
He gave each class, grade K-4, $5; he gave each class, grades 5-8, $10. He told the group that in one month, he wanted to see how each class could increase that $100 to raise money for the church and school.

About Scott Cleland
FCC Should Ask Congress for Authority to Address Internet Fast Lane IssueSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2014-11-03 18:14
If the FCC believes it needs additional legal authority to ensure no Internet "fast lanes" or "paid prioritization," it should ask Congress for the authority to do it.
That's what agency "creatures of Congress" do when their original legal authorities have obsolesced and need modernization to remain functional. It's Congress' constitutional role to set American communications/Internet policy; it's the FCC's role to implement and adjudicate it. That's basically why the U.S. D.C. Court of Appeals overturned the FCC in 2010 in Comcast v. FCCand again in 2014 in Verizon v. FCC.
Google's Mission Statement Updated – A SatireSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Sun, 2014-11-02 21:50
Last week the Financial Times asked Google CEO Larry Page in an interview on Google's ambitions if Google needed to update its well-known mission statement: "To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."
Mr. Page actually responded: "I think we do, probably. We're still working that out."

Net Neutrality Has Become an Industrial Policy – My Daily Caller Op-edSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Fri, 2014-10-31 13:41
Please don't miss my Daily Caller op-ed here: "Net Neutrality Has Become an Industrial Policy."
It explains how net neutrality is being exposed to be less about protecting consumers and more about "Trojan horse" political messaging to protect and subsidize Silicon Valley economic interests.

EC Must Learn from Almunia's Google Mistakes – An Open Letter to ECSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2014-10-27 16:02
Dear European Commission Official,
History teaches that those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
Specifically, as the new European Commission takes charge of the mess that is the Google competition case, it is important to learn from, and not repeat, Mr. Almunia's many big Google mistakes.

Will the FCC Break the Internet? – My Daily Caller Op-edSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Wed, 2014-10-22 19:16
Please don't miss my Daily Caller op-ed here: "Will the FCC Break the Internet?"
It explains how the FCC could effectively break the Internet and seriously undermine U.S. trade and foreign policy interests, if it redefined the legal status of American Internet services to ITU utility-regulated "telecommunications" services.

Stealing from Competitors is "How Google Works"Submitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2014-10-20 10:48
Google executives' saccharine best-selling book: "How Google Works," predictably ignores and whitewashes how Google steals to make its free model work.
This piece spotlights the likely "Post-it Child" of Google theft victims and five other theft victims that Google has stolen from using its signature MO or "Google Con." It also links to another nineteen victims for a total of at least twenty five examples of Google's theft and piracy. Corporate kleptomania is "How Google Works."
Google's mission is to organize the world's information for free. Its business model is to generate ad revenue on only the sliver of information that users find and click on.
So Google respecting property rights – whether it is privacy, confidential information, trade secrets, copyrights, patents or trademarks – would be prohibitively expensive because their world view presumes that digitized information should be free.

Fact-checking Google Schmidt's "Ich bin ein Big-fibber" Berlin SpeechSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Tue, 2014-10-14 22:30
History should remember Google Chairman Eric Schmidt's speech in Berlin, "The New Gründergeist," as the "Ich bin ein Bigfibber" speech, because of his many big fibs about Google's antitrust and data protection problems in Europe.
Claim: "Really, our biggest search competitor is Amazon" (not Bing or Yahoo.)
Facts: Google crawls 60 trillion unique URLs to create its search index of the world-wide-web; Amazon does not crawl or search index the world-wide-web.
Google Profiting from Hacked Celebrity Women Photos is "How Google Works"Submitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2014-10-06 18:19
Google executives are on tour selling their new book: "How Google Works," which actually tells very little about how Google really works when it comes to Google's effect on people, and the protection of their well-being, property, privacy, safety, and dignity.

Why Waxman's FCC Internet Utility Regulation Plan Would Be UnlawfulSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Sun, 2014-10-05 22:40
Rep. Henry Waxman, Ranking Member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, wrote the FCC to propose that the FCC, in its pending Open Internet order remand, "reclassif[y] broadband providers as telecommunications services and then using the modern [Title I] authority of section 706 to set bright-line rules to prevent blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization."

China would really sanction such a petty operation against github
GitHub is suddenly target because of what?
It makes no sense for the Chinese to use their own primary connectivity to the rest of the world to run a half assed DDoS against a company that almost no one outside the OSS world even knows exists.
And if they wanted to do it, they'd take github down and be done with it. China has WAY more bandwidth than github, even taking AWS into account.
The whole story is wildly unbelievable to anyone who stops and thinks about it rather running life a half cocked nut job like appearently slashdot has devolved to. If you believe this story, you really need to come back to reality

"Good hospitality ; Good hotel management"
- Posted Dec 4, 2014
My visits to Kottayam is always for official purpose. But I feel homely and more comfort in hotel Aida as their hospitality is very good than any other hotel in Kottayam. Rooms were clean and toilets are hygienic as always. They always take care whenever I stay in this hotel. Since hotel Aida provides all bath room kits, I need not to carry toilet kit in my bag. At the outset I believe hotel Aida is well administered always as I feel such hospitality than anywhere else. I travel almost all cities in AP, Telengana, Karnataka & Kerala with a frequency of once in 2 months to all cities in these states for my official purpose.More » « Less

The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of the city, quite close to the bus stand and the railway station. The appearance of the hotel is modern. In the front of the hotel there is a bar. The staff is friendly, helpful and quick to attend to all the requests of the guests. The rooms are spacious, neat and well maintained and all the amenities in good working condition. The wash rooms are also hygienically maintained. There is also a swimming pool and gymnasium as well as indoor games for the guests. The hotel has vegetarian and non- vegetarian food of good quality and taste and a lot of variety. The cost of the food is also reasonable. The check-in and check-out is on time. Overall it is a good hotel and recommendable.More » « Less

Who gives a crap what someones address is. The only thing that this thread is about is these New Guys who come here, try to start fight and then Rat the other members out when they get their feelings hurt. Why don't you all either toughen up just take your ball and go home. No body likes a RAT!
I have never had anything to hide and have only had one account on any forum that I have been a member. You brought this upon yourself when you stuck your nose in my business and made false accusations against me. I called you on it and you started making up BS and excuses. I created this thread as a warning to other members about who you really are.
Have a nice day you fraud.
You should also work on your reading comprehension. (And, BTW, if the best thing you have to do with your time is dig through old posts you really ought to get a life as well.)Quote:
You argue the basics of putting the fire out and have actually called Ray Mccormacks speech dinosaur bravado, ect
Then tell me what IP I'm posting from. Put up or shut up.Quote:
And no, there is no chance I searched through your posts to find your IP, unbelievable.
The reason you can't see my IP is that IPs aren't broadcast by the forum software unless you have (hacked) admin access. Keep shoveling, you're just digging your hole deeper.Quote:
Also, last night you must have been using an "elite" IP. For whatever reason, I could not see your IP.
Bullsh|t again, poseur.Quote:
Ironsman, I'm not going to post an IP again. I have received a warning for doing this with deputymarshall's.
Guys we should all just stop wasting our time replying to this lying sack. Don't respond to him and just keep hitting the REPORT POST button on every one of his posts. He's obviously lying in order to start trouble and we don't need more of that here. Eventually he will go away or the webteam will do something about him.
Guys, his posts are way above any level that Scarecrow could ever write. Your giving scarecrow way too much credit.

HAHAHA I guess the webteam doesn't buy his BS either. He was the one reporting me now he's the one that is banned. Karma is a SOB. :D
Excellent! I know I reported his activity, not sure how many others did. I'm glad they did something to stop his disruptive behavior.
