Giuliani's Mistress Used N.Y. Police as Taxi ServiceWell before it was publicly known he was seeing her, then-married New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani provided a police driver and city car for his mistress Judith Nathan, former senior city officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com."She used the PD as her personal taxi service," said one former city official who worked for Giuliani.New York papers reported in 2000 that the city had provided a security detail for Nathan, who became Giuliani's third wife after his divorce from Donna Hanover, who also had her own police security detail at the same time.The former city officials said Giuliani expanded the budget for his security detail at the time. Politico.com reported yesterday that many of the security expenses were initially billed to obscure city agencies, effectively hiding them from oversight.The former officials told ABCNews.com the extra costs involved overtime and per diem costs for officers traveling with Giuliani to secret weekend rendezvous with Nathan in the fashionable Hamptons resort area on Long Island.When the New York City comptroller began to question the accounting, Mayor Giuliani's office declined to provide details to city security, officials told ABCNews.com today."The Comptroller's Office made repeated requests for the information in 2001 and 2002 but was informed that due to security concerns the information could not be provided," a spokesperson for the comptroller's office said. ...
Former mayor Ed Koch and current city officials said Thursday that charging travel and security expenses to obscure mayoral agencies was not routine at City Hall before or after Rudy Giuliani took office."That this was past practice is absolutely wrong," Koch said. "It didn't happen under me and I don't think it happened with David Dinkins, either."
"In my opinion, it would be very harmful to our country if Rudy were to become president. Rudy simply does not tell the truth when it suits him not to," Koch says in a mass e-mail. He's writing a new intro to his book, to be reissued by Barricade. Koch cited four instances where he says Giuliani lied, and, "There will be much more on Rudy's record as he is examined by the national media."

The Delhi high court on Thursday cleared of murder charges eight youth who were being probed for causing the death of constable Subhash Tomar during the mass protests at India Gate against the December 16 gangrape last year.
The court cleared them of charges after the police said there was no evidence of the youth injuring Tomar and therefore section 302 (murder) IPC was being dropped in the FIR against them.
The court, however, allowed the police to proceed against the youth for rioting and destruction of public property and refused to quash the FIR against them.
"The police conceded there is no evidence of the youth inflicting injuries on Delhi Police Constable Tomar," justice GP Mittal said.

Cleaning pedals. -- what to use/not use?
Hey everyone, I scored iron cobra double bass pedals recently but they appeared really disgusting. Had questions not just about maintenance but how to actually "CLEAN" them:
If i dismantle the pedals, how do you recommend cleaning the footboards and other parts? Will disinfectant wiped be omon some or all parts, or does it ruinanything ( the finish, etc.)? I read one forum actually saying you can soak parts in soapy water then just dry them all off well and then oil/lubricate the necessary parts.
YouTube or other sites do not seem to say much about dthis, other than use a gentle cloth and toothbrush. But this doesn't actually CLEAN them for my case.
Any takers on how to help? Thanks all. :-)
Re: Cleaning pedals. -- what to use/not use?
There is a product called "Awesome" that is just that. You can clean just about anything with it, and it is non corrosive. It comes in a clear spray bottle and the liquid is yellow. I used it to clean my vintage Pearl Wood-Fiberglass when I got it, it was covered in 4 decades worth of crud, and is now shiny and pretty again, minus the natural fading of the wrap. My wife buys it at a store called "Deals for a Dollar." I am sure you can pick it up in other places too.
Stay away from WD-40 if you re-lube your pedals. It attracts dirt and will leave you having to re-lube again.
Re: Cleaning pedals. -- what to use/not use?
I've used wd-40 on a dw7000 at the shop and my own dw7000 along with several other constant use pedals....I've not experienced any problems or dirt/dust attraction....I use it in my wife's and my beach cruiser bycicles chains again with zero issues....
However, I think it is not the best choice and I've been kinda kicking myself for not digging a little deeper....wd-40 has been a family tool passed down from my grandfather....so it's always been there, not the best choice though.
I'm actually moving over to a special bike chain lube and there is an improvement in performance....so I agree wd-40 is not ideal...but for the worry warts out there like me, I don't it will cause a problem per se
Re: Cleaning pedals. -- what to use/not use?
Another choice if you can still find it is Marvel Mystery Oil. What's in it? I don't know. It's a mystery.
Re: Cleaning pedals. -- what to use/not use?
Thanks everyone. So can I use cleaning wipes on the pedals? Should I avoid cleaners containing ammonia, which may ruin the coating? Anything else to avoid as a cleaning agent? Thanks again all
Re: Cleaning pedals. -- what to use/not use?
i wonder if you can cover/tape up the bearings and spray the suckers own with simple green? then hose them down without getting water near the bearings. then gentle wd40 the chain/bearing, just enough to get everything moving slowly and none on your shoes when your playing...
its possible but ive never done it, if i need to i would do this or maybe a wet rage to get the simple green off. rinsing the rage off of course every few mintues
Re: Cleaning pedals. -- what to use/not use?
silicon oil in the bearings. its pretty much the same as the "ninja oil" pearl give out
i would never use wd-40 in the joints bearings as its a cleaning product and not really a lube. but this is always argued...
I have had my pedals last me years and have never used WD though..
Re: Cleaning pedals. -- what to use/not use?
not sure if this helps but I generally use a crunched up ball of aluminium foil, water, house-hold detergent, cloth and some time to scrub those suckers... That on old pedals
I still struggle to do so on my demons as the surface is so smooth and seemed it need more than a scrub to rid some dirt.

Fishing Report: 12.09.06
Aransas/Redfish Bays and northward - South Bay, Morris & Cummings Cut and most anywhere along the ICW near Rockport and Aransas have been producing good numbers of redfish on cut mullet, mud minnow and live finger mullet. Soft plastics, dark colors with chartreuse tails, also are producing a mix of reds and trout this week. Black drum have been slow, but a few are being caught San Antonio Bay. Flounder are along the Shrimp Boat Channel between the ferry landing and Aransas Pass, and near sloughs along the backside of San Jose Island . Trout were scattered near outside drop-offs of Aransas Bay. The oyster reefs and shorelines of Aransas, Mesquite and Carlos bays were decent during rising tide before this week's front. Deeper sections of Copano Bay produced a mix of fish earlier this week. Uprooting seagrass with an outboard propeller is unlawful in the Redfish Bay State Scientific Area.
Port Aransas - Trout, big ones, were caught earlier this week along the North Jetty, mostly with soft plastics near the end on the channel side. Redfish also were caught earlier this week along jetties and Island beaches. Anglers also caught a few drum and scattered pompano on the south and north jetty. Deeper water along flats produced a mix of fish with DOA shrimp. The Jetty Boat is running out of Fisherman's Wharf (749-5448). Horace Caldwell Pier reported sheepshead, big black drum, pompano, reds, along with nighttime trout and reds. Call (361) 749-2828.
Gulf beachfront - Anglers caught pompano and redfish along southern stretches of the National Seashore earlier this week. Driving has been good this week along area beaches. Anglers also caught reds and pompano at the Packery jetty this week. At Bob Hall Pier earlier this week and Friday anglers caught mostly bull reds and whiting. Before the front, anglers caught pompano and nighttime trout. Bob Pier's bait & tackle shop and Sunset Grill (usually) is open daily 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Call 949-8558 or check www.bobhallpier.net or www.corpusfishing.com.
Offshore - Party boats and charters have been bringing in blackfin tuna (mostly on long trips),big and small sharks and vermilion snapper.

The Boathole crash channel had a mix of fish. Shamrock had redfish in deeper coves and trout near channels. Indian Point Pier produced reds and drum earlier this week. Northern sections along the backside of Mustang Island produced a mix of reds and trout near outside drop-offs. Around Ingleside, the outside of Dagger Island produced trout. Most fish were caught with soft plastics or shrimp. At Clem's Pier (949-8445) nighttime anglers caught mostly drum, trout and occasional flounder or redfish earlier this week.
Laguna Madre/Baffin Bay - Biig trout were caught over muddy bottoms earlier this week. Drift anglers caught trout around Humble Channel and along the ICW south of the JFK. Baffin's north shore and mouth produced a mix of fish for drift anglers earlier this week. Also before the front, shallow water redfish were along the King Ranch shoreline and trout remain in back sections of Baffin Bay, caught mostly by waders with soft plastics and drift anglers along the south shore. Redfish also were caught along grassy shorelines. Windy days at the Landcut produced a mix of fish. Shrimp under a popping float is the most common bait that's working. Reds and trout were scattered earlier this week along Laguna Shores southward along King Ranch shore in grassy flats. Anglers caught a few black drum Wednesday night after the front. Mostly they've been catching nighttime trout, drum and reds were caught off the piers at Marker 37 (949-8037), Cos Way (939-7513) and Red Dot (937-5347).
Choke Canyon Reservoir - Bass fishing was fair to good along shallow banks with Texas-rigged worms and lizards earlier this week. The bite was extending well into the afternoon. No report from late this week. Bass were being caught from the hardwoods, where bigger fish have been. Catfishing has been good with most fish coming from under roosting birds and along riverbeds in nearby hardwoods. Crappie and white bass fishing has been spotty. Visit www.tpwd.state.tx.us/ park/choke/choke.htm.
Coleto Creek - Bass remained active. Spinnerbaits and soft plastics worked above the Coletoville Bridge around shallow submerged cover.

SAN ANTONIO A former San Antonio police officer has been ordered to serve six months in jail after he was found wandering the streets near his wrecked city vehicle last year, disoriented and dressed in a T-shirt and boxer shorts.
Joseph Earl Myers told the judge Wednesday that he'd mixed alcohol with the prescription sleep drug Ambien. The former narcotics officer added that he doesn't know how cocaine was found in his system.
He was indicted for two counts of state jail felony misapplication of fiduciary property - one for the vehicle damage, the other involving money that was temporarily missing from a fund used to pay informants.
The San Antonio Express-News reports that under a plea agreement reached last month, Myers pleaded no contest only to damaging the vehicle.

CHARLESTON – A Logan doctor has pled guilty in Federal court to federal drug charges.
According to United States Attorney Booth Goodwin, Dr. Fernando Gonzales-Ramos, 47, pleaded guilty in federal court today, April 23, to conspiracy to distribute controlled substances without a legitimate medical purpose. Gonzales-Ramos was charged earlier this month in a legal filing known as an information.
"Dr. Gonzales-Ramos wasn't operating a doctor's office, he was running a drug den," U.S. Attorney Goodwin said. "His so-called office had no exam table, no running water, and not even so much as a stethoscope. For thousands of dollars in cash, he was pumping out prescriptions for thousands of units of powerful narcotics."
Gonzales-Ramos traveled from El Paso, Texas to Logan every three months to illegally dispense prescription painkillers from a Logan County office. Gonzales-Ramos also hired a commercial security guard who was armed with a firearm to protect his makeshift Logan County doctor's office.
On March 2, 2013, an individual cooperating with the FBI entered the building that the defendant used as an office and paid $450 cash in exchange for a prescription for the painkiller hydrocodone. Prior to obtaining the prescription, the cooperating individual had not been examined or questioned by anyone. The cooperating individual obtained the prescription from Gonzales-Ramos's office in less than three minutes.
On March 3, 2013, law enforcement agents executed a search warrant on the building located at 2130 Old Logan Road in Logan. During the execution of the warrant, agents found several individuals waiting inside to get written prescriptions for controlled substances from Gonzales-Ramos.
From September 2011 through March 3, 2013, Gonzales-Ramos ran a cash-only business at the Logan County office where he charged patients $450 for Schedule III controlled substance prescriptions and $500 for Schedule II controlled substance prescriptions. After collecting the cash payments, Gonzales-Ramos directed a known associate to make cash deposits into his personal bank accounts.
Gonzales-Ramos faces a minimum of 57 months and up to 71 months in prison when he is sentenced on August 14, 2013 by U.S. District Judge John T. Copenhaver, Jr.
As part of his plea agreement, Gonzales-Ramos has agreed to surrender his Drug Enforcement Administration Certificate of Registration.
The investigation was conducted by the FBI, the U.S. 119 Drug Task Force, the West Virginia State Police, and the Logan County Sheriff's Department.

Post Named NWC Defensive Player of the Week
SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University women's soccer player Samantha Post (So. D, Philomath, OR/Philomath HS) has been named the Northwest Conference Defensive Player of the Week after helping the Bearcats to a 2-0 record in NWC play last week.
Post is one of the Bearcats' defensive leaders on a team that has posted eight shutouts on the season and has given up just two goals in ten games. WU has recorded four consecutive shutouts and has not allowed a goal in 447 minutes, 16 seconds. The Bearcats are 9-0-1 overall, 6-0-0 in NWC action and ranked No. 5 in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America/adidas NCAA Division III National Rankings.
Post played all 180 minutes in WU's two wins over George Fox University and Linfield College. In the Bearcats' 2-0 victory over George Fox on Wednesday, Sept. 27 at Sparks Field, Post was part of a WU defense that limited the Bruins to five total shots and just one shot on goal.
The Bearcats followed Wednesday's win with a 1-0 triumph over Linfield on Sunday, Oct. 1, also at Sparks Field. Willamette held the Wildcats to only five shots on goal. Post also scored the game's only goal at 38:27, on a 6-yard header following a short corner kick.

The Florida voter purge list was a major topic at Netroots Nation 2012, with a high-profile panel moderated by The Nation's Ari Berman. When we last left the story, the state's election supervisors had shut down the purge, after the Department of Justice sent a letter warning that the purge violated at least two federal voting laws. It appeared at this point that Florida's Governor and Secretary of State had little recourse than to quietly pull back. But that's not what happened. Today, they announced a lawsuit to win the right to purge people from the state voter rolls, despite the barely veiled intent to use this to disenfranchise Democratic and Hispanic legal voters:
During an appearance on Fox News Monday afternoon, Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) announced that the state will sue the Department of Homeland Security to obtain access to a database that it believes will provide more accurate information on the citizenship status of Florida voters.
"The Florida's Secretary of State office will be filing a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security to give us that database," Scott said. "We want to have fair, honest elections in our state and so we have been put in a position that we have to sue the federal government to get this information." The move comes after Scott disregarded a request from the Department of Justice on Wednesday to abandon efforts to purge eligible voters.
In a way, this concedes the point that the current system, where the voter rolls are checked against state DMV data, is flawed. But Florida Republicans have relied on the talking point that DHS is withholding the "real" data. For its part, the DHS said that their SAVE database would not be any more accurate, as it's not intended to be a complete list of all documented and undocumented citizens in the country. DHS also said that they would not release the database until the Justice Department determined the legality of the purge.
I think the next step for DoJ is to go get an injunction of any restart of the purge efforts, and then settle it in the courts. Clearly Scott doesn't want to back down, even while he has no elections supervisor in the state on his side. Setting the precedent that voter purges like this are illegal in states under the Voting Rights Act is worth having as well.

From Scrawny to Brawny
I guess I'll start with a little bit about myself. I am 28 years old and a graduate student currently working on earning a PhD in Theoretical Chemistry/Physics. I have been in fairly good shape for most of my life (as far as body fat % goes at least) and have lifted weights off and on since I was a teenager. However, I have never truly stuck with it and made much muscle gains so I've always been kind of scrawny.
About a year ago I had gotten in the worst physical shape of my life from a poor diet and no activity. I got myself back in the gym, discovered this website, and am now in fairly decent shape. I have read the majority of the articles on this website and regularly check the forums so I feel I am a little more knowledgeable than the average random person in the gym but by no means an expert.
However, I'm still fairly scrawny (currently weigh a little under 140 lbs at around 8 or 9 bf% and 5'10 tall) which I mostly attribute to not eating enough because I was so concerned with getting lean. So I recently decided to start pushing myself in the gym and with my nutrition and make the commitment to put some muscle on. My immediate goal is to get up to about 145 or 150 lbs and about 7 %bf. The amount of weight on my lifts is fairly weak but I believe that if I stick to my plan they will get more respectable in time.
I recently started keeping a log of all my lifts in order to set minor goals each week and push to at least get out one more rep than the last time. I decided to go ahead and make a log here also in order to add to my motivation and listen to any advice that the people here who are knowledgeable have to offer. I'm following Layne Norton's PHAT routine at the moment since I'm interested in getting stronger and adding a little mass. Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any advice offered.

The Playlist has alerted us to an interview with Mike Tyson that is as candid as you'd expect from the man who once threatened to "f*ck you until you love him." It all came about when Mike wandered into a Las Vegas radio station unexpectedly after a trip to the dentist. If you're familiar with David After The Dentist, you know that you're in for a treat. Here are some of my favorite parts.
On The Hangover:
"I was doing that to supply my drug habit. I'm sorry I'm coming at you guys like this… I said, 'Wow, This is going to be really good. We're going to sell this stuff on 42nd street on bootleg and make a lot of money.' This is my best thinking on drugs… It wasn't that way. It was an international success."
On becoming a Vegan:
"I became a Vegan. Vegan is where no animal products. No livestock products. Nothing."
On his slow-transformation to vampirism:
"My personal life is so isolated right now. I don't go anywhere unless I'm invited." (except for when he wanders into radio stations of course. – Ed.)
And on the arduous task of wiping one's butt when weighing 350 lbs:
"It was hard to wipe my butt… I was sweating like some kind of guy from a moon project or something."
Awesome. MTV needs to find a way to get him into the "Jersey Shore" house. (ESPN Radio)
Douche lovers around the world have been salivating since December when rumors of an "Entourage" movie began to surface. Now, producer Mark Wahlberg has laid out some specifics, saying that the show will most likely last two more seasons before it's made into a feature film. He also dropped hints about possible plans for a wildly original plot. "In the trailer, you see [Ari Gold and his associate, Lloyd] waking up together in Vegas not knowing what happened," Wahlberg imagined. "It would be pretty cool!" Jesus Christ? As long as we're blatantly ripping off Vegas movies, why not go the Casino route and have Vince and the gang beaten to death in a secluded cornfield? That would be even funnier than the time Drama banged the furry (LOL!), mainly because they'd all be bleeding and gasping for air (LMAO)! (First Showing)
You're powerless to resist the confidence.Legendary cocksman Jack Nicholson has been offered a role in LASt VEGAS, a comedy centering around a group of elderly cooz-hounds who reunite in Las Vegas. While there, two of the friends fall for the same woman. Nicholson's potential character is the playboy of the group who has yet to resign his bachelorhood. It's being described as Grumpy Old Men meets The Hangover. Some might say that's also the perfect way to describe Rip Torn. (Vulture)
Though Tom Petty lyrics would lead you to believe Reseda to be a haven for vampires, Hot Tub Time Machine director Steve Pink is aiming to set the record straight with Werewolves of Reseda. The story, which is about a group of guys gradually turning into werewolves, is being described as The Hangover with a horror twist. Wouldn't that just be The Hangover with more Carrot Top footage?At any rate, it's getting all kinds of werewolf-y in here. Off the top of my head I can think of six or seven werewolf-centric projects already released or in production. Between all that Twilight stuff, The Wolfman, MTV's "Teen Wolf" series, MMA Werewolves, The Monster Squad, David Hayter's Wolves, and Alec Baldwin hosting the Oscars, there's never been an easier time for really hairy dudes to get work. (/Film)
I enjoyed The Hangover just as much as the next guy, but Crash it is not. I kid, I kid. But seriously, a high concept comedy winning a nomination for best picture? I can see that dumb biatch holding a globe that is golden taking The Hangover up on its offer, but Oscar ain't gonna have none of that sillyiness at his ceremony. The Hollywood Foreign Press practically thrives off of fat, bearded men carrying babies in Bjorns. If you want Oscar to recognize the material, either the fat, bearded man or the baby has to be retarded, and not fully, mind you. Good luck, The Hangover. I hope you find what you're looking for. Keep in mind though, there's only one thing that makes The Hollywood Foreign Press cream harder than fat, bearded men, and that's glitzy, glamorous musicals. The cast of Nine is going to tap dance all over your ass. (via FirstShowing)
In general, when it's time to kick some ass, it's time to kick some ass. Forget what you're wearing and get ready to rumble. This philosophy has been adopted throughout the entire history of cinema, the most recent example being seen in last weekend's #1 film, The Hangover. Above: Mr Chow (Ken Jeong) makes a balls-out attack on Phil (Bradley Cooper). Chow's balls are fully out in the theatrical release. But what about other scenes, guys who find themselves fighting in outfits that strike us today as either ridiculous or insanely awesome, or most likely, both? Superheroes, of course, would be cheating, because we all know they almost always look nuts cleaning up the city in their plastic nipples and oversized codpieces.
While talking with HitFix, Nicolas Cage eschewed the rumors that he hired a Voodoo Priestess to remove a curse from the set of Sorcerer's Apprentice. Of course he didn't hire a voodoo woman to remove a curse from his set. He hired her because she has the best weed.Check out these other morning headlines… Just because Tony Kaye wants to direct Mickey Rourke's script doesn't mean that Tony Kaye will get to direct Mickey Rourke's script. (The Playlist)Ed Helms really yanked his tooth for The Hangover. (Cinema Blend)JJ Abrams set to produce Mission: Impossible 4: The Impossible Mission. (/Film)Todd McFarlane is delusional. (MTV)Hilarious book Ghosts/Aliens to be adapted into kinda-alright Comedy Central series. (Dread Central)England loves our poop. (io9)NEW District 9 trailer. (Pajiba)
EDITOR'S NOTE: After posting what we thought was a funny riff on Mike Tyson – essentially a fake "on set journal" kept by the famed fighter during his work on The Hangover – some of our readers made it known that in late May, Tyson suffered the tragic loss of his 4-year-old daughter, Exodus. We agree with these readers that right now is not the time to be placing a humorous spotlight on Tyson, and have removed the original post. Screen Junkies offers our sincere condolences to Tyson and his family.

August 4, 2015
BROWNSVILLE, Texas - - The U.S. Coast Guard has pulled 345 dead sharks from an illegal net found floating off the coast of South Texas.
The Coast Guard says a crew from South Padre Island found the 5-mile long net about four miles off the coast and 17 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border Monday.
Among the dead sharks were 225 black tip, 109 bonnet and 11 bull sharks.
Coast Guard Commander Daniel Deptula said in a statement Wednesday that Mexican fisheries have been depleted by such fishing methods, which has led to more illegal fishing in U.S. waters. Use of such nets is illegal in Texas. Mexican fishermen often kill the sharks just for their fins.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The Texas A&M football team held their first workout of August camp tonight as they work toward their August 28 season opener against South Carolina in Columbia.
After several meetings Thursday and earlier today the team stepped on the grass at Coolidge Practice Fields for the first time since Spring Drills.
The Aggies worked out for just under two hours in shorts and jerseys on an unseasonably cool night in College Station.
Of course plenty of attention was given to the quarterback battle between Kenny Hill and Kyle Allen and the arrival of big time defensive end recruit Myles Garrett.
The NCAA made a rule change allowing coaches access to their players during the Summer and Coach Sumlin said you could certainly tell it by the way the team practiced today. A noticeable difference from a year ago.
"Because of the meeting times this summer I think we were able to go, I think we had 30 plays of 7 on 7 and 50 plays of team today. That's quite a bit for a first practice. To not have a lot of misalignment's offensively or defensively in the execution of plays, I think that says a lot about the new rule in the summer. I think that says a lot about how guys have come back."
Selected Members of the Texas A&M football team met with the media on Friday leading up to the start of preseason camp. Coordinator Jake Spavital, running back Trey Williams, wide receiver Malcome Kennedy, and left tackle Cedric Ogbuehi represented the offense. Coordinator Mark Snyder, defensive lineman Julien Obioha, linebacker Jordan Mastrogiovanni and defensive back Deshazor Everett represented the defense.

|1: Archives and Archivists
|Lesson Four: What Is an Archives?
|Archives are Records
Lesson Four: What is an Archives?
Defining "Archives"
As we mentioned in Lesson Two, the word "archives" can mean different things.
Archives are Records
"Archives" can refer to non-current records or groups of records collected and preserved by an individual or organization.
In this case, "archives" are the papers, documents, files, photographs, and other materials created by individuals or organizations.
They are the unique records people will want or need to use--now and in the future--to understand their history and society, to provide evidence for legal purposes, to prove ownership and rights, or to demonstrate how organizations operated and how people lived. In this case, "archives" are the historical records.
In the right column is a letter dated Jan. 19,1891 from Buffalo Bill Cody to Annie Oakley which discusses the situation with Americans in the West--a unique record of American history.

text: American Medical Association Continuing education for doctors By Take Care Staff • Aug 17, 2014 Mercy Health / Flickr After many years of hard work at medical school, recently graduated students may like to believe that they have finally completed their education. However, since medical practice and treatments are constantly evolving, doctors are required to receive periodic supplementary education in order to maintain their practices. This week on "Take Care," Dr. Atul Grover discusses continuing medical education and its importance for both physicians and their patients. Grover serves as chief public policy officer of the Association of American Medical Colleges. Click 'Read More' to hear our interview with Dr. Grover. Study finds healthcare providers overlooking costs By Kate O'Connell • Feb 11, 2014 A recent study by the Journal of the American Medical Association found that, despite healthcare spending that has reached nearly $3 trillion each year in the U.S., few general medicine programs around the country are teaching new physicians to practice cost-conscious care. A survey of nearly 300 residency programs around the U.S revealed that the vast majority of healthcare providers believe it's their responsibility to help decrease rising costs.

I went in mid-feb with a group of friends. We were all pretty disappointed. The food was bland (which seriously surprised me) and the service was so unbeliveably slow. It took over an hour to get our food. Every time I ordered a drink it took 20+ min. Maybe they have improved because I know when we went they hadn't been open long...
you are the only person on this site that is even MORE spazzy than the ones that cry "death penalty" at every crime.
You are my absolute favorite, Jim. NOBODY is as good as you. I started listening to you as a young girl because you were the only commentator that MADE FREAKING SENSE to me. I LOVE football because of you. I am going to miss your face.
I have received several tickets from the camera on Henry Clay.
They don't mail the ticket right away. It seems they do it monthly. I had NO IDEA they were giving tickets for 3MPH over the limit until they all arrived in the mail box at the same time (over a period of 4 days).
I could barely pay the rest of my bills that month because I had to pay hundreds in fines for going *BARELY* over the limit.
I guess fair is fair and I shouldn't have been speeding but this just feels like robbery.
You can't be serious!
You don't explore your sexuality with A SIX YEAR OLD. What the hell is wrong with you?
this story is horrifying. Why in the world would they need to kill ALL of the animals that got out?? What is wrong with these people??
these comments are the best part of my day today.
the comment I was responding to must have been deleted. I swear I'm not talking to myself over here.
I 100% agree. The problem is if she just goes to jail then she doesn't have the means to pay restitution. She and her husband filed bankruptcy.
They are lowlife criminals.
Those two crooks are opening a new place on St Charles (fat hen grocery- no, I'm not kidding)- if you insist on giving them your business I suggest using cash.
I wanted to repost so that others could see:
I wanted to come here and post that I have been informed that the FBI did NOT find any evidence on his home computer. I hope the news will report this.
As of now it seems the only thing he is guilty of is terrible judgement.
Thank goodness.

let me tell you something. There is NOBODY involved in this that would be more relieved than me to find that this was not what it appears to be.
The FBI did not get involved in this case because the footage on his phone (AND on his home computer) seemed like an innocent misunderstanding. They got involved because he clearly had disgusting motives.
hey Ostrya - I know exactly what I'm talking about because I am directly involved.
you have! Thank you!
I get off track myself...
bigeasydad- what does that have to do with ANYTHING?

text: In the past bivalirudin has been frequently employed in the management of patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. The REPLACE-2, ACUITY and ISAR-REACT4 studies demonstrated bivalirudin non-inferiority in comparison with unfractionated heparin in terms of ischemic end-points with a reduction of the bleeding rate also in patients acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation. Finally the results of the HORIZONS-AMI study positioned this drug as a first choice anticoagulant during percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. In fact the bivalirudin alone regimen, compared to unfractionated heparin plus GP2b3a inhibitors, decreased inhospital bleeding rates and short and long term mortality. Given the body of clinical evidence, bivalirudin is likely to contend to GP2b3a inhibitors the leading place among the proposed anticoagulation strategies in the setting of acute coronary syndromes. The duration of the bivalirudin infusion after PCI and the optimal oral antiplatelet regimen associated to bivalirudin are important issues to be solved in future randomized controlled studies.

DALLAS (AP) - A sex abuse fugitive who worked for a children's group has been caught in Texas after being featured this month on a New Mexico Crime Stoppers website.
Investigators say 43-year-old Michael Patrick Spencer is a former Boys & Girls Clubs of America executive in the Dallas area.
He spent seven years with the group in Albuquerque, N.M., before moving to the Texas affiliate in 2008.
Albuquerque police have not said if the charge of sexual contact with a minor under age 13 involved Spencer's job.
He was arrested Tuesday at his current workplace, the Dallas-area chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. Online jail records don't list an attorney for Spencer, who was freed Wednesday on $20,000 bond.
The Alzheimer's Association has put Spencer on leave. Both organizations are cooperating with police.

Three people are dead after an attack Friday morning at Casper College in Wyoming, the Casper Star Tribune reports.
According to The Tribune, two people were killed in a classroom on campus and another body was found at an undisclosed location in the city. One of the victims was a male faculty member.
The shooter is one of the dead and reportedly committed suicide, according to KCWY. The station added that the unidentified shooter "was not a current student at Casper College."
Details of the attack are unclear at this point, but a law enforcement official told NBC News that a "bow and arrow type" weapon was allegedly used.
The college went on lockdown on Friday morning, but police lifted the security restrictions just before 10:00 a.m. local time, according to the college's Twitter account. The college has cancelled classes until further notice.

Anthony Pettis would like nothing more than a superfight with Jose Aldo, however UFC President Dana White has confirmed Pettis' next bout will be a title defense against TJ Grant:

Disappointed aldo isn't happening first...lets them build it if he wins and they still have it if he loses then drops
9/4/13 5:06 PM by Media Monster
Yeah, well like I said in my previous post 1. Grant v. Pettis 2. Mendes v. Aldo (hopefully) & if the warrior gods shine upon us [aka both Pettis and Aldo win] 3. Aldo v. Pettis superfight (to me) - 150 lbs catchweight. No belts, just bragging rights This way neither champ loses their belt and doesn't tie up a division. I think that's DFW biggest problem with the Pettis/Aldo idea, he wants a clear champ in each division. As far as Benson goes, I may be wrong here, but I don't know how quickly they'll give him another title fight. I think he may be 2 fights away. IMO the UFC and uncle Dana want a finisher for a champ, not a decision grinder.
9/4/13 3:49 PM by KingofBJJ
Well at least you said it is for you. Pettis although he was WEC Champ, it only lasted 30 minutes before the company was bought out by the UFC. And although he just regained the championship, his first and only defense will come across someone who is an accomplished Champion. I do agree that the stand up styles would very entertaining, but looks like Uncle Dana just put a monkey wrench in your fantasy by inserting TJ. TJ is no push over and he comes in with some impressive finishes himself. Finally, even after the TJ v Pettis aftermath, who is to say that Bendo doesn't get chance to win his belt back regardless of who wins? In my opinion, White doesn't want Aldo v Pettis, they are his cash cows.
9/4/13 3:47 PM by The Brool Story Company
he got a Lightweight title shot for beating Benson and being the WEC champ, the belts were to be merged. then Gray and Frankie drew and were forced to fight a third time and started the clusterfuck of rematches that continued with Benson vs Frankie. he didn't get a LW title for beating Lauzon and Cerrone.
9/4/13 2:56 PM by Pitbull3744
Youre a good boy just ended the whole argument. Here is another thing. HOW ABOUT SOME FRESH NEW TALENT!! All we ever see are the so called super stars getting title shots, how about a guy WHO ACTUALLY EARNED IT!

The new trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes first tries to kill you with kindness. Then, about halfway through, it tries to kill you with really, really angry monkeys.
Whereas the first domestic trailer showed a more cold and clinical side to the apes' upbringing, for international audiences, this video seems to channel its inner Harry and the Hendersons, even going so far as to cast John Lithgow as a loving father. There's a fine line between "homage" and "rip-off," and you're walkin' it, Apes.
This trailer also shows us that Draco Malf-, I mean, Tom Felton, can be completely menacing without his greasy blonde hair. So long as he's shown electrocuting a cute monkey.
Beyond that, you won't glean much any new plot elements, but if you're looking for tons of plot elements in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, you might be on a fool's errand.
Consider posting a comment.
Yeah, I just hate all those "libs," so much that I sit around and make lame comments about them on non-political sites. I'm so cool.
esta bien padre el video*****5 STARTS muy bueno excelente la voy a ver,XD,chido,me encanto,genial,esta super padre muy bueno esta muy bien
Yea, what fun would movies be if we all stood around on screen jerking each other off on how great we are and can do nothing wrong. It's a sci-fi movie, not a political movie…lighten up.

we've got signatures, help us get to 5,000 by January 30, 2014
Revered by many Asian cultures, the Asian elephants have been affected by the conflict of space against human inhabitants, poaching for ivory and human appetite for their meat and hides. The destruction of forests due to logging, encroachment, slash-and-burn and many others have served as threat to the survival of the elephant. Since the 1950's, its overall population has been reduced to 50% with over 370 elephants and 1,150 people dying between 1980 and 2003 due to human-elephant conflicts in Northeast India alone.

When you think about it, publishers are simply pointless parasites between the author's creativity and the end user in the third millenium.

The Three T's Of The New Workplace Organizational Structure: Technology, Teamwork and Time With [Infographic]
Posted by anisesmith
We are truly in new and unchartered lands when it comes to technology. We are experiencing growth and change at a rate of speed in which I've never experiences due to the growth of technology primarily excelerated by the growth of smaller devices like tablets and smart phones. These technologies are now having a profound effect on how we live in our personal and business lives. Technology in regard to our personal lives is a little bit easier to adapt to; however, technology growth within the workplace is a whole different animal.
When planning a new technology strategy, there are so many things that have to be considered. Some of those things are how people will adapt to the introduction of new technology, training staff, how it will effect the budget and more. If a company is a B2B or B2C it can be that more difficult to adapt, change and embrace new technologies on an organizational level. Of course for some organizations it can be an easier process but for some it can be a challenge. Companies that are involved with technology on a certain level will of course adapt better to change, but those that are totally removed from technology may struggle a bit more than those that work within the technology industry.
Although technology has grown at such a fast rate we are all still trying to catch up with all of the changes. I once said that at any given day you can feel like a n00b because of the super quick growth to technology, social media and digital marketing channels. We are truly in a different work era now due to the the boom of technology and although technology can be used to streamline our processes, save time and make things easier often times that is not the case because we are all still learning to utilize those technologies within our workplace more effectively.
The first thing that we must do when planning to implement new technology within our organization, is to realize that we are indeed in a different workplace era now due to the growth of technology and adapt accordingly. That, I must say, will probably be the biggest challenge in the new technology focused workplace. We are now a part of a technology boom that is equivalent to the initial introduction of PC into the workplace. So I cannot promise that the process will be easy and seamless. We can use the technology that is growing so quickly as an asset to our organizations or allow it to be a burden. A few very basic things to keep in mind are the fundamentals and I call them the Three T's Of the New Workplace Organizational Structure:
We must first learn to embrace technology in general as time is not going to roll back to suit you in your need to hold on to the pre-technology days. Then we must discover the technologies that we deem to be appropriate for our business. Not all technology, social media and or digital media channels are appropiate for all businesses. Exploring new technologies can be as easy or as hard as a company can make it. The first step would be to assign or hire a person that is familiar with a variety of technologies, that have embraced new technologies and can lead your company on the right path. After finding out what technologies and or digital marketing strategies work for your organization, implement a plan to integrate those technologies into your company organizational structure.
The implementation process is what will probably be the hardest challenge, and this is especially the case with older organizational structures. The key is to have professional guidance and get started sooner rather than later because technology will never wait for you to catch up.
One of the greatest things about the growth of technology is that it presents organizations with an opportunity to take a look at their organizational structure and tweak it if needed to integrate more of a teamwork structure if it is conducive to the organization as a whole. Technology will almost force people within the organization to work as a team due to the huge effect that technology has on the entire organization. There is no aspect of an organization that will be exempt from the use of technology when its implemented so this will create more of a teamwork atmosphere. Teamwork is great for employees, the workflow and the bottom line which is good for the entire company. You know what they say, there is no I in team.
As we utilize technology more effectively and implement a more team oriented workplace it can actually minimize the amount of time spent on task and streamline organizational workflow. This is of course contingent upon effective utilization and adaption of technology, increased teamwork and proper training of staff.
We are at a point in the workplace that we are NOT utilizing time effectively which minimizes productivity and maximizes the amount of time spent doing tasks. Consequently our days are longer, our workflow is not as effective as it should be and organizations are not running as smoothly as they could. Take a look at the Infographic below which will give you an idea of exactly how ineffectively we are managing our time within the workplace. A few tweaks to organizational structure to implement a teamwork dynamic and implementation of effective technologies could really change this slippery slope that we are on.
Source: OnlineMBA.com
Ultimately the goal is to utilize technology strategies that are smart for the employees and organization as a unit in order to use time more effectively while creating a teamwork inspired organizational structure. This is the new workplace organizational structure, embrace it!
