Dr Nitti is the best. My first cystoscopic Botox injection to the bladder was kind of uncomfortable but he went out of his way to ensure that the subsequent ones were better, changing equipment and tweaking the technique.He treated my problem successfully and made the experience much more comfortable.He will be my urologist for life.

Dr. Nitti fixed my rectocele and other severe post labor complications. He was the only one who properly diagnosed my problem after 10 years of misery. And seeing countless pseudo doctors. He may seem a little distant, but he is a brilliant physician and he changed my life. Thank you, Dr. Nitti. Beata S.

Since the release of Haughty Melodic, I've been on a major Doughty kick. Go listen to The Only Answer, and then read the lyrics. Jeebus H. Menendez, man. I read things like this and wonder how I can call myself a
writer. I've got a long way to go before I truly believe I've earned it.
Skittish and Rockity Roll have totally fucked up the rating curve in my
iTunes library. Mike Doughty writes and plays music that I don't just hear; it's music that I feel.
I was so sad when Soul Coughing broke up, but if it had to happen, so
Mike Doughty could head out on his own, and create music like this . .
. well, the Ruby Vroom CD is just a bookshelf away.
True story: years ago, Mike Doughty mentioned me on his message board.
Somehow, word got back to him that I was a fan. He sent me a really
cool e-mail, and I was so star struck, and so afraid that I would come
off like a drooling fanboy dipshit, I never got the courage to reply. I
wonder if he remembers . . . maybe I'll finally send him an e-mail of
my own, and save all my drooling fanboy dipshittery for a nice public

Bad Buzz
Sexist Press, Fewer Female Leaders- by Ana Cecilia Alvarez
Media around Gillard, Pelosi, and Clinton discourages women from politics
One would assume that greater visibility of female political leaders would encourage women to run for office. But given the added—and many times uncalled-for—media scrutiny female political leaders face, women often see them as examples of why not to seek candidacy. A recent survey conducted by the University of Adelaide and YWCA reveals that Australian women are more hesitant to run for office after Prime Minister Julia Gillard's run-ins with bad press. According to the survey, 8 out of 10 women over the age of 31 are less likely to pursue a career in politics while 57 percent of women between 18 and 21 years old felt discouraged by the press surrounding Ms. Gillard. The women surveyed noted most negative reception was not based on the Ms. Gillard's policy decisions or leadership abilities, but on her style and appearance—a marked difference to the media reception afforded to her male peers. The findings echoed former House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's response to The Shriver Report's statistics on the gap in female political leadership in the U.S. "If you reduce the role of money in politics and increase the level of civility in debate, more women will run for office," Pelosi said. Just today, TIME Magazine released its latest cover featuring Hillary Clinton. The article chronicles Mrs. Clinton's apparently inevitable, although still unconfirmed, presidential ambitions, with cliche hallmarks of female political leadership: a pantsuit and a seemingly dangerous heeled shoe with a helpless man dangling behind. The social media response has been one of understandable outrage. This viral image of Clinton aboard a C-17 headed to Libya, sunglasses on and Blackberry in hand, better depicts unstoppable leadership, or at least one that women can actually aspire to.

I've submitted this challenge to dozens of Muslims and have yet to get a response. This article should be "Exhibit A" when it comes to refuting the BS that Islam is "a religion of peace".
If Islam is the religion of peace, where in Abdullah bin Humaid's article on jihad can I find the equivalent of "Love Thy Neighbor"? "and good will toward men"? And explain its prominence, (and significance), in a book that's considered second only to the Koran; My Summarized Sahih Al-Bukhari. Also address "jihad" as it's defined in Reliance of the Traveller and answer the same question. Also compare Humaid's "jihad" and Emmet Fox' Sermon on the Mount and tell me which one best represents a spirit of Love and compassion.

Recent or soon-to-be college graduates may have finally earned their degrees, but after piling up student loan debt for several years, finding a job and an affordable place to live may prove even more difficult.
Those desperate graduates hoping to avoid waiting tables should make their way to Houston, according to a recent ranking by Rent.com. Houston placed in the top 10 best cities in the country for college graduates in 2013.
Rent.com ranked metropolitan markets based on availability of rental inventory, cost of living, annual mean wages and unemployment rate using Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
Unemployment was given double weight relative to the other statistics.
The researchers wrote that "opportunity abounds for post-grads" in Houston, as one of the lowest cost of living on the list and called it highly diverse in terms of experiences.
"Everything from The Woodlands to Montrose offers career opportunities for post-grads to explore and eat lots of great Tex-Mex along the way," according to the ranking.
The mean annual income for Houston is $47,490 and the median price for a one bedroom is $819.
Dallas also made the list and the ranking touted the city's sporting options, including the Cowboys, several universities close by and a burgeoning artistic culture. "These attractions plus the low cost of living and fairly low unemployment levels make Dallas an easy choice for recent graduates," according to the ranking. The mean annual income is $46,160 and the median price for a one bedroom is $898.
Other cities that made the list for 2013 are Atlanta, Boston, Denver, Seattle, Washington, D.C., St. Louis and Raleigh, North Carolina.
Rent.com compiled a similar ranking in 2012. Houston, Dallas and Austin made the list that year, but Austin did not place in the top 10 in 2013.

As a songwriter and a performer, Willie Nelson played a vital role in post-rock & roll country music. Although he didn't become a star until the mid-'70s, Nelson spent the '60s writing songs that became hits for stars like Ray Price ("Night Life"), Patsy Cline ("Crazy"), Faron Young ("Hello Walls"), and Billy Walker ("Funny How Time Slips Away") as well as releasing a series of records on Liberty and RCA that earned him a small, but devoted, cult following. During the early '70s, Willie aligned himself with Waylon Jennings and the burgeoning outlaw country movement that made him into a star in 1975. Following the crossover success of that year's Red Headed Stranger and "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," Nelson was a genuine star, as recognizable in pop circles as he was to the country audience; in addition to recording, he also launched an acting career in the early '80s. Even when he was a star, Willie never played it safe musically. Instead, he borrowed from a wide variety of styles, including traditional pop, Western swing, jazz, traditional country, cowboy songs, honky tonk, rock & roll, folk, and the blues, creating a distinctive, elastic hybrid.
A talented and showy fiddler, Charlie Daniels and his band fuse hardcore country with a hard-edged Southern rock, boogie, and blues. The group -- which has had a rotating cast of musicians over the years -- has always been known for its instrumental dexterity, but Daniels and company were also notorious for their down-home, good-old-boy attitude; in the early '80s, they became a virtual symbol of conservative country values. Daniels and his band experienced the height of their popularity at the end of the '70s and early '80s, but they remains a popular concert attraction to date.

The secret life of Miss Ruby Payne-Scott – 12 March 2009
How times have changed . . . to mark Women's History Month, the National Archives has uncovered previously secret ASIO files which shed light on the extraordinary career, cut short by pregnancy and forced retirement, of pioneer radio physicist and outspoken advocate for women's rights Ruby Payne-Scott (1912–81).
Payne-Scott became one of Australia's first paid female physicists when she was hired by the Radiophysics Laboratory of the then Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) at the University of Sydney in 1941. She was part of an Australian team that developed a means of measuring radio emissions from the sun, a breakthrough which would lead to the construction of sophisticated radio telescopes.
Payne-Scott was passionate about the independence of scientific research. She was also an alleged member of the Communist Party of Australia. This brought her to the attention of ASIO. Scott-Payne's ASIO file – the Archives' Find of the Month for March – indicates that she was of interest from 1948 to 1959.
In an ASIO report dated March 1959, an informant, whose name has been withheld, incorrectly alleged that she was dismissed from what is now the CSIRO, 'for failing to give notification of her marriage'. Until November 1966, the Australian Public Service required married women to resign. For this reason Payne-Scott hid her marriage and when her six-year secret was exposed in 1950, she was retired but immediately reinstated by CSIRO on a temporary basis.
In July 1951, with the birth of her first child imminent, Payne-Scott was obliged to resign. Her daughter is artist Fiona Hall and her son mathematician Professor Peter Hall.
A biography of Payne-Scott is finally being written – Under the Radar : Ruby Payne-Scott, the first Woman Radio Astronomer by Professor Miller Goss and Dr Richard McGee – to be launched in Australia in November 2009.
As a government worker she was not allowed to be married (she did, they only discovered because she started to show in pregnancy), she was not allowed to get equal pay (she did.. secretly), she was not allowed to smoke because she was a woman (she would walk into disciplinary hearings about her smoking smoking!) she wore trousers (because as she so plainly explained she had to climb towers, etc.. well they had never had a woman as a physicist before), she worked on top secret radar work and developed several tweaks to it that changed the war (and she was a registered Communist).
You can read about her here in depth..... Read the comments she made when confronted with the laws and wisdom of attitudes towards women in her age... Why can I hear Dotsie's voice when I read that?

Bristol Bay Blog, Part 3: A Future for Salmon?
Editor's Note: This is the final installment in a three-part blog series on the Conservancy's recent research at Bristol Bay, conducted to provide a risk assessment of the proposed Pebble Mine.
Can one of the world's largest mines be built in the headwaters of the world's largest salmon fishery without disrupting the ecosystem?
That's a question that generates a lot of controversy for the Bristol Bay watershed.
"There is a lot of vilification and name calling, but we wanted to go past that and get the data," says Dave Albert, director of conservation science for The Nature Conservancy in Alaska.
The Nature Conservancy in Alaska commissioned an ecological risk assessment to improve understanding of baseline conditions near the Pebble deposit as well as potential risks such a mine could pose to salmon.
The baseline studies showed that juvenile salmon are ubiquitous in headwaters near the Pebble deposit, including documentation of more than 100 miles of previously unknown salmon streams. It also documented the purity of the water. "This is about the cleanest water in the world," says Albert. "It's not distilled water, but it's pretty darn close."
The ecological risk assessment used a cutting-edge stream modeling system to investigate potential effects of large-scale mining facilities including open pit mines, a tailings impoundment and waste rock dumps on stream headwaters.
The model results indicate potential for significant negative effects, including up to 60 percent reduction in stream flows near the pit and contamination from waste rock that could exceed Alaska water quality standards. The giant waste rock piles generated by mining would require active pumping and water treatment; if these systems failed, the levels of copper in the river could rapidly exceed lethal levels for salmon.
According to the researchers: "Our study shows that while some of the flow and water quality changes brought about by mining could be ameliorated by ambitious mitigation measures and water management plans, severe water quality effects could result from even a brief failure of these systems."
The proposed mine dwarfs all other mines in Alaska combined; because the ore exists in low concentrations preliminary designs developed by the mining company show the mine covering twenty square miles with a massive tailings impoundment. From preliminary information released by the company, this tailings pond would require perpetual mediation in an area known for active earthquakes.
"We haven't seen a detailed mine and water management plan, but it would be difficult to envision a project of this scale that does not require active management, basically forever, to avoid contamination," says Albert.
Bristol Bay Blog, Part 2: The Salmon Portfolio
Editor's Note: This is the second in a three-part blog on the Conservancy's recent research at Bristol Bay, conducted to provide a risk assessment of the proposed Pebble Mine. Yesterday's blog covered background and research methods.
This is a land shaped by salmon—in ways large and small, apparent and obscure. Fly over Bristol Bay, and the impact of salmon is everywhere, in literally every living thing.
"Salmon built much of the Alaska we see today," says Dave Albert, director of conservation science for The Nature Conservancy in Alaska. "At historic levels of abundance, salmon are a fundamental driver of any ecological system they inhabit. They're in the bears and the eagles and the trees and the berries and the people."
Unlike at most salmon-producing regions of the world, at Bristol Bay scientists can still study a full and functioning salmon ecosystem. The sockeye salmon populations in this region are the most productive in the world. These stocks have contributed an estimated 51 percent of all global sockeye production since 1970. And there are four other salmon species found here as well.
The life history of salmon is well documented. Salmon are hatched in freshwater streams. After growing large enough to make the lengthy journey, they swim to the sea. In the ocean, they grow large while eating smaller fish.
After two to four years, they return to the stream of their birth, lay eggs that will become a new generation of salmon, and die. Their bodies become food for bears and a whole host of other scavengers. Bits of salmon flesh are gobbled by rainbow trout, char and other fish. They nourish algae in the water that provides food for aquatic insects that in turn become food for the next generation of salmon offspring.
"Salmon are in essence a nutrient-delivery system," says Albert. "They bring nutrients from the rich marine environment to the nutrient-poor rivers and lakes, generation after generation."

Kogure indicated that global demand for flat panel TVs is expected to jump significantly in the next few years. By 2008, flat panel TVs will account for 42% of the overall TV market, up from a 32% share in 2007. LCD TV will account for 75% of the flat panel TV market, rising from 52% in 2005, added Kogure.
Putting the speculation aside, LCDs have still seen tremendous leaps in both the technology behind them and the willingness of consumers to use them. As volume grows and the technology improves, the prices will fall as well, making it better for everyone.

|calendar>>July 26. 2009 Juche 98
Kim Il Sung Remembered in Foreign Countries
| Pyongyang, July 26 (KCNA) -- Remembrance meetings were held in Peru, Democratic Congo and Egypt from July 5 to 8 to commemorate the 15th anniversary of demise of President Kim Il Sung.
On display in the venues of the meetings were works of the peerlessly great persons, photos on their undying exploits and books and photos on the advantages of Korean-style socialism.
Speeches were made there.
Genaro Ledesma Izquieta, chairman of the People's Front of Workers, Peasants and Students of Peru, spoke of the emotion he had when he was received by the President during his visit to the DPRK, noting that Kim Il Sung was a great statesman and a prominent leader recognized by the world.
Thanks to the solid foundation laid by Kim Il Sung, the DPRK could frustrate the moves stepped up by the U.S. to stifle it, styling itself the world's "only superpower," and demonstrate the might of a politico-ideological power and military power to the whole world, he added.
Otete Gaston Mboyo, chairman of the National Committee of the Genuine Lumumbist Patriotic Party of Democratic Congo, said that Kim Il Sung would always live in the hearts of the world progressive people as he founded the immortal Juche idea, clearly indicating the road to be followed by humankind in the era of independence and building a socialist system centered on the popular masses in Korea.
Yehia Zakaria Khairullah, chairman of the Egyptian Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea, said that the revolutionary cause of Juche started by Kim Il Sung has been successfully carried forward by General Secretary Kim Jong Il. The Korean people under his Songun leadership will surely build a great prosperous and powerful socialist nation in Korea and achieve the cause of national reunification without fail, he stressed.

GIANT holes in clouds are created by aircraft. For the first time, a computer model has shown how these holes can grow to be tens of kilometres across in a few hours.
The holes form because the clouds are supercooled, meaning their water is liquid despite being below 0 °C. Any disturbance to this state - a plane for instance - turns the water into ice crystals that fall away, leaving a small hole.
Andy Heymsfield of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado has used a simulation to show why they then grow so big. When liquid freezes it releases a little heat, which rises and sets up a convection current. As part of this, some supercooled liquid water drops through the warm air and evaporates. The circulating air cascades this effect outwards, ...

Foxconn CEO: There's Nothing Wrong With Sweatshops [Lost In Translation]
Whether or not Foxconn's running sweatshops is some matter of debate. The China Labor Watch says Foxconn's iPhone assembly lines are sweatshops, while the Fair Labor Association says that factory worker conditions are much, much better than at actual sweatshops.
Now Foxconn CEO Terry Gou is trying to settle the debate. Yes, Gou says, Foxconn may well be running a sweatshop… but what's wrong with sweatshops anyway?
During a recent publicity stunt in which Gou met a group of his Chinese employees who had won a free trip to Taiwan at the company's expense along with a free iPhone and a cash bonus, the Foxconn chief said there was nothing wrong with working his employees hard as long as they were not breaking the law.
"People are calling us sweatshops. What's wrong with sweatshops?" Gou asked. "All farmers sweat before they harvest! We sweat and we bleed, but as long as we comply with the law, we [the workers] deserve what we earn through our hard work."
Here's a video of some of Gou's soundbites:
Translation (courtesy of MICGadget:
[SOUNDBITE]: Are all of you having fun ? (YES !) Do you want to visit Taiwan again ? (YES !)
Foxconn had arranged a Taiwanese style buffet for the workers over at Hon Hai base, with tasty traditional BBQ pork …
[SOUNDBITE]: People are calling us the "sweatshops", what's wrong with sweatshops ? As long as we comply with the law, today you deserve what you earn through your hard work …
[SOUNDBITE]: Wash what ? ('washing' away the image of sweatshops), the reason for holding this event … I Terry Gou will definitely not for anything to hold a show for the press … We are Foxconn as we are, same for Hon Hai …
[SOUNDBITE]: Any cities with a population of 5 million, our factory will be located over there, it will have our sales outlets …
Foxconn will be planning to build hospital in Shenzhen, in order to contribute to the medical industry … Guo was giving farewell to the leaving Chinese worker …
To be fair, there seems to be some things lost in translation here, and it's pretty clear that the worst Gou is trying to say is that there's nothing wrong with working hard as long as it's voluntary and you are paid a fair wage for your work.
That said, given how contentious a subject worker abuse at Foxconn is in the West right now, you can't help but think Gou might have expressed this sentiment without using the word "sweatshop" at all.
