Mark Iwry testified at a hearing on the Affordable Care Act employer mandate that requires companies to offer health insurance to their employees. He said that the Obama administration had not determined if it had the authority to delay the enforcement of the individual mandate. He also told committee members that final regulations on reporting requirements for employers had been simplified, and he said he disagreed with criticisms that the regulations were too complex. close

High teen birth rate a challenge for Latinas
Utah's Latina teens have an alarmingly high birth rate: They are nearly four times more likely than other 15- to 17-year-olds to have a baby.
The Utah Department of Health is releasing the report on Latino health disparities today as part of a series exploring the challenges facing Utah minorities.
It shows that while nearly 18 of every 1,000 girls ages 15 to 17 in the general Utah population had a baby in 2006-07, 66 of 1,000 Latinas had one.
The implications go beyond those teens' immediate futures. National data show Latina teen moms are more likely to drop out of high school than other teen mothers, and teen mothers are more likely to be on welfare. Children of teen mothers are more likely to live in poverty and have educational and social problems and are more likely to become teen parents themselves.
Utah health officials and community leaders say the reasons for the high rate are as varied and complicated as why teen births appear to be on the rise nationally: peer pressure, lack of parental involvement, poverty, lack of education, sexual messages from the media.
But they also point to factors unique to Latinos: A generational and cultural gap between parents and their children, as children of immigrants more quickly assimilate to the United States; cultural acceptance of teen pregnancy; tolerance for 20-something men dating young teen girls.
And some risk factors are exacerbated in Utah's Latino community: They are two times more likely to live in poverty and nearly four times more likely to not graduate from high school. Parents may be too busy making ends meet to keep tabs on their children.
"Our parents are not so involved with our lives. Our parents don't want to know who we're dating," says Claudia Carcano, an 18-year-old mother of an 18-month-old.
Sitting at a Rose Park McDonald's while son Julian played, Carcano remembers staying out until 4 a.m. when she was 13. She said her parents worked days and nights. And even though an older sister got pregnant at age 13, with an 18-year-old who was later arrested, and Carcano vowed never to be so "stupid," she became sexually active at age 14. She said she told her mom, hoping to have a discussion about birth control. But that didn't happen.
She became pregnant when she was 16 in a failed attempt to keep a boyfriend she realized later she didn't love. "I wasn't even thinking about everything else. All I thought was, 'I want us to be together.' "
She quit the cheerleading team and missed out on school dances and nights out with friends. But she finished high school and now attends Salt Lake Community College.
And while she doesn't regret having her brown-eyed boy with thick eyelashes and a mop of curly hair, she wishes she would have waited until after college so she would have more time for Julian. "I feel bad mostly for him, like why would I have him now knowing I'm not able to give him everything I can and spend time with him? I should have just waited."
To get that message across, communities hit hardest by teen pregnancy, including Midvale and Ogden, have implemented abstinence-based programs that they believe are partly responsible for their recent slight drops in their top-of-the-chart teen pregnancy rates. They, and the state health department, have also sponsored Spanish-language classes directed at parents to help them talk to their teens.
"You want to talk to parents before their children are dating and they're in reaction mode," said Annabel Sheinberg, education director for Planned Parenthood, which taught courses to Spanish-speaking parents of 9- to 11-year-olds for the health department. "We don't give them a script to follow. Sometimes I think parents would like a script."
Carla Morales and her mother have taken up the cause. They pay for a quinceanera celebration for low-income Latinas turning 15. But the girls and their parents must attend sex-ed classes.
When Morales, 20, speaks to the girls, it's from experience. She estimates that out of 15 friends from high school, only two, including herself, don't have children. She credits a good relationship with her parents and her goal of developing a beauty care line. Even while she shares this information in the classes, some tell her they are ready to have sex.
"They feel they are because their friends are having sex. They don't think it's a big deal," she said.
Mauricio Agramont, who runs the teen pregnancy prevention program for Midvale, started printing posters about statutory rape because of what he called a "huge issue" among the Latino community of older men dating younger girls.
His group also provides after-school classes for boys and girls starting in elementary school. They emphasize the importance of stress management, healthy relationships, combating peer pressure, planning for the future.
During a recent lesson about decision-making with elementary girls, teacher Janet McCullough encouraged them to ask questions and speak up. Sex wasn't mentioned -- all they were picking this day was candy -- but officials hope the girls remember the concepts when they are faced with more difficult decisions.
"When we don't stand up for ourselves," McCullough tells the girls, "we don't always get what we want."

The U.S. Army announced that it has completed a two-week test of its Ground-Based Sense and Avoid system, which will allow drones and unmanned aircraft to fly more safely in domestic airspace. The system will allow for safer flights with less manpower and oversight, though it doesn't address the concerns citizens might still have regarding UAVs in their neighborhoods.
Drones have been on the fast track at the FAA ever since their latest budget arrived with language suggesting they get moving on legalizing them. Police, national guard, scientists, everyone wants a drone, and while caution is a virtue at the FAA, sometimes things need to be expedited. Late 2015 is the hard limit on having regulations in place, and so the FAA is working with drone makers and operators to set down, for lack of a better term, some ground rules.
Part of those rules is a "sense and avoid" system, with which an unmanned aircraft can detect other craft in the same airspace and make the appropriate adjustments to its flight path. Today, that often means a chase aircraft with a human observer, but low visibility or darkness can put an end to that. Ideally, the craft itself would house instruments capable of scanning the area, but ground-based systems can be more comprehensive and more reliable, though they are less portable.

did you wrote a ticket? thats pretty low for 15 bucks...
this one, is clearly on lowest ingame settings and at a very nice low jpg quality. It's not even funny trying to use that to show how it looks in game.
Lol, you'd think for $15 they would make sure they looked right on every race.
I'd ask for a refund.
How does it interact with that glyph that changes your shadowform? Have you tested that?
It's very comforting to know that regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, profession, hobby or favorite dessert, every single human in the universe is still an individual with the potential to be a horrible person.
This wouldnt be as much of a problem to me if they werent selling it for £10. But since they are they should at least try to put in a decent amount of effort.
$15 is way too much for me. That's 1 month of sub for a freaking transmog helm.
If blizz lowered the price to around $5(they won't), then I think a lot more people would buy it.

Pope-emeritus Benedict reported quiet, serene after resignation
Catholic World News - March 01, 2013
Pope-emeritus Benedict XVI spent his first evening of retirement quietly, praying and listening to music, a Vatican spokesman told reporters.
Father Federico Lombardi said that the former Pope had watched several televised news programs about his resignation, and commented favorably on them. He retired early and slept well, Father Lombardi said.
The Vatican spokesman said that Archbishop Georg Ganswein, the private secretary to Benedict XVI, reported that the former Pontiff rose early on Thursday, celebrated Mass, and prayed the Divine Office. He planned to walk through the gardens of the apostolic palace in Castel Gandolfo in the afternoon while reciting the Rosary.
Benedict XVI has brought a number of books with him to the papal summer residence, with a heavy emphasis on theology. He is currently reading a work by Hans Urs von Balthasar.

25 Years Ago: DEA's Own Administrative Law Judge Ruled Cannabis Should Be Reclassified Under Federal Law
Friday, September 6, 2013 marks the 25-year anniversary of an administrative ruling which determined that cannabis possesses accepted medical utility and ought to be reclassified accordingly under federal law.
The ruling, issued in 1988 by US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Chief Administrative Law Judge Francis Young "In the Matter of Marijuana Rescheduling," determined: "Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man. By any measure of rational analysis marijuana can be safely used within a supervised routine of medical care."
Young continued: "It would be unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious for DEA to continue to stand between those sufferers and the benefits of this substance in light of the evidence in this record."
Judge Young concluded: "The administrative law judge recommends that the Administrator conclude that the marijuana plant considered as a whole has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, that there is no lack of accepted safety for use of it under medical supervision and that it may lawfully be transferred from Schedule I to Schedule II [of the federal Controlled Substances Act]."
Judge Young's ruling was in response to an administrative petition filed in 1972 by NORML which sought to reschedule cannabis under federal law. Federal authorities initially refused to accept the petition until mandated to do so by the US Court of Appeals in 1974, and then refused to properly process it until again ordered by the Court in 1982. In 1986, 14-years after NORML filed its initial petition, the DEA finally held public hearings on the issue before Judge Young, who rendered his decision two years later.
However, then-DEA Administrator John Lawn ultimately rejected Young's determination, and in 1994, the Court of Appeals allowed Lawn's reversal to stand – maintaining marijuana's present classification as a Schedule I prohibited substance with "no accepted medical use," and a "lack of accepted safety … under medical supervision."
In July 2011, the DEA rejected a separate marijuana rescheduling petition, initially filed in 2002. This past January, a three-judge panel for the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia affirmed the DEA's decision, ruling that insufficient clinical studies exist to warrant a judicial review of cannabis' federally prohibited status. Petitioners have appealed the ruling to the US Supreme Court, which may or may not elect to review the matter.

Along with NORML, the other parties who joined in the petition which Judge Young ruled in favor of were the Alliance for Cannabis Therapeutics (Bob Randall and ALice O'Leary,) the Cannabis Corporation of America, and the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church, whose work is continued to this day by the brilliant Carl Eric Olsen in Des Moines, Iowa. Parties opposed to the re-scheduling were the DEA, the International Chiefs of Police, and a slimy outfit called the National Federation of Parents for Drug-Free Youth. Randall and O'Leary later compiled the important briefs and testimony into the two-volume publication "Marijuana, Medicine & The Law." ISBN 0-935485-02-7. Get a copy if you can!
"…insufficient clinical studies…", 1000's of people overdosed on Tylenol, aspirin, cough syrup, etc., buy it over-the -counter, yet, not one 'OD' attributed to cannabis and IT's dangerous? Political appointees cow-towing to the establishment. If cannabis is going to destroy society, it would have done so already. Even Spain allows its citizens to grow their own, just can't sell it.
Makes No Sense! Except that each civilization has it's faults, though none ludicrous enough to demonize, arrest and make war on people because of a plant. I mean prejudice, genocide, religious wars, wars for territory, even ignoring a populace to the point they suffer and die, makes sense in a sick way – but we have here, since the 1930's, a war on primarily one plant. Why?
All these lies and tricks by politicians and public servants really does make make you wonder what else they are lying to us about.
Unfortunately, for our society, the powers that be have found it more profitable to keep it illegal. Truly, prohibition has never been about public safety. It is unjust laws based on lies that have enabled some of the rich and powerful.
I would like to thank the honorable judgeFrancis Young on hisdecision that marijuana should be classified as a schedule 2 drug .That the DEA could ignore judge Francis Youngs decision is a travesty of justice. Why did they have a trial only to ignore judge Young's. decision I sent in an affidavit of my marijuana use to relieve severe muscle spasms as a result of a.diving accident that left me quadriplegic.The DEA had doctors who claimed marijuana had no medical use. One of those doctors said it would be miraculous to relieve my muscle spasms in 5 minutes . Well marijuana does relieve my spasms in 5 minutes.Does that mean that i have experienced 5 or 6 miracles a day for 40 years.That would mean i have experienced about75,000 miracles.Thank GOD fof marijuana
The 25th year anniversary of Judge Francis Young's decision is the same day I am diagnosed with glaucoma at age 30. I wonder what this could mean if anything. I think it is merely an interesting coincidence? It would be a disgrace if the US Supreme Court didn't elect to review a matter that has been filed over a decade ago. The other petition filed by NORML in 1972 is over forty years ago. How could the US Supreme Court just not review the matter makes no sense. It has been getting argued for quite some time. Even though that are two separate petitions.
To all of the people that has put forth energy,time,and money to get these encouraging recent headlines . To the non violent prisoners,and the victims of warrentless raids. And most of all the cancer patients and patients dealing with other debilitating curses. Take heart! We're half way there. Keep the faith. Science and voters are turning it all around. Good night. May tomorrow bring pain relief for those who needlessly deal with thier ailments. Abra kazabra.:()
@David Branstetter – You Sir are the kind of proof the DEA chooses to ignore!
Thank God for marijuana
Thank Satan for the DEA; They are truly one of the most evil organizations in the history of mankind!
i guess that i needed a place to vent! some of u may have read some of my other posts. well!!!! WHY is ohio so full of butheads? i didn't start doing any drugs till i got out of hs. as it is the two i started out with was speed and lsd. never went near opium, heroin, only dabbled with coke, but after not getting anything off pot initially, at about 21 i became a die hard pot head. gate way?, to what? fop dude u r an idiot. i can see where all the seizure $ has gone! and the tobbacco co. who are u kidding? every things about the $ rx. cos., politicians, all a bunch of shit. as i have posted before. it's us against them! we out # them and yes i am 60 years old and i'm dissappointed with this government! our country is being runied by these crazy people! who are you few, who chase us jail, us and make yourselves rich? be advised we are many! you grey hairs you are dying off, you put us into war after war.
So why are people being arrested? Isn't illegal to just tell a judge to go scratch? AFAICT, marijuana has been completely legal since 1972. The rest is just smoke and mirrors that are so how "more important" than the truth.
How can anyone believe actions like this command respect? People tend to dislike scam artists… So why is this still happening?
I am thinking its about time that we organize a political party for us to run for offices around the nation i.e.. the tea party should be something like the weed party.
work on electing ourselves to the houses of government and cities as i think any of us is better capable of running these offices as a whole.
People please take this seriously not in jest lets start a forum about it and actually act on it if this proves to be something that we agree on
It is clearly a conflict of interest for the DEA, which depends on maintaining the Prohibition of certain substances, to have the authority to prevent the rescheduling of those same substances. And it was a stroke of (evil) genius to setup that conflict of interest in the first place.
Finely, a good idea. Yes drop the tea from Willy Nelsons tea pot party. Or get the Constitutional Libertarians to fully back Cannabis / Hemp freedom. Abolish the Controlled Substance Law and DEA.
DOJ comments are BC.
His list of bullet points is full of BS also. The last five are hype and rhetoric.
No one in any cannabis supply store or dispensary ever sold other drugs. No one is violent. Guns are for self protection. Drugged driving is safer that the stupid people already out there. Growing on public land is caused by the prohibition. Environmental danger is the same as any farm. And the last one "preventing marijuana possession or use on federal property." Federal conceit, like it is their land and not ours. Some how we let these people think they are the ultimate power. They are not, the people are. Below the people, is the local Sheriff. Then state law. Then Federal. The only power Federal has is with-holding our money.
In 1986, we formed the Minnesota Grassroots Party because in Minnesota we don't have the initiative procedure to place the law onto the ballot for a direct vote by the people, as they have done in Colorado and Washington and other states.
The purpose of the Grassroots Party was to use the electoral process to oppose the drug witch hunt and to advocate re-legalization of cannabis for all its uses–personal enjoyment, medicinal, industrial.
We started running candidates for office in 1986 and continued until 2000. We hoped that if we raised the issue, the professional politicians eventually would see it was popular and then they would support reform. Historically, that is how controversial ideas sometimes get accepted into the American political system. A third party begins to siphon votes away from the professionals, so they swipe the popular planks from the amateurs.
For a few years we built up support–sometimes running a complete ticket for statewide races; in 1988 and 1992 we put Jack Herer on the ballot for President. In '92 Jack was on the ballot in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and I believe Vermont.
Internal disputes disrupted the Grassroots Party in the mid-'90's and the most charismatic leader was sent to federal prison for smuggling herb.
The party was revived in 2010, running candidates for Governor and Auditor, and in 2012 placing candidates on the ballot for U.S. Senator and President. With a shoestring campaign and no real organization, we were still able to get over 1% of the statewide vote, thus qualifying as a recognized minor political party. This makes us eligible to receive funds through the state election public financing law.
This has been a serious attempt to truly raise the issues of prohibition, such as mass incarceration and unchecked crime, which politicians ignore; and also to explain the benefits of legalization and the promise of cannabis culture and economics.
We find plenty of people willing to defy the law and not enough people willing to roll up their sleeves and work to change the law.
Willie Nelson's Teapot Party could assume the same role in the other states that lack the ballot initiative procedure. Or, you could contact the Grassroots Party and we'd be happy to share what we've learned in our three decades of electoral insurgency.
smoke and mirrors are the tool
employed to maintain the tight gripped rule
smoke and mirrors designed to fool
autonomous masses who work and drool
over the pitiful morsels they are fed
but coming is the wind of truth
to blow away the smoke of deception
and coming too is the hammer of justice
to shatter the mirrors of illusion
when clouds of mischief shadow the land
those who dwell in the dark command
the frightened and confused
who fear only to lose
that which has become familiar
easily led, these innocent ones
innocent until their fear becomes
one with the dark lords obsession
then comes the day
when those led astray
must pay with their most prized possession
so you stand far away
and witness the fray
while innocents destroy one another
gone is the day
when children could play
in warmth and light with no bother
for hatred and fear pervade the land
and ignorance is the new Universal Mother

Cleaning up the streets is one of the goals of the Borger Police Department.
BPD's Narcotic and Criminal Interdiction Unit just completed an aggressive campaign to crack down on illegal narcotics and street level crimes in the City of Borger.
Lt. Anthony Griffin of the BPD said that over a fourteen day span, the unit lawfully seized approximately $18,000 worth of cash, vehicles, weapons, and illegal narcotics.
In addition to the seizures, 20 arrests were made and five vehicles were seized, as they were being used in the commission of a felony crime.
Illegal narcotics seized included methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, and illegal prescription pills.
Charges in reference to all of these incidents ranged from the manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance (felony of the first degree) to minor traffic infractions, Lt. Griffin said.
Those arrested through the past fourteen days were as follows:
•Alejandro Davila Ramirez, 44, of Borger
•James Edward Ritchson, 38, of Borger
•Efrain Rodriguez, 40, of Borger
•Randi Lee Smith, 54, of Borger
•Gregory Louis Soto, 25, of Borger
•Sarah Michelle Speed, 26, of Borger
•Jesus Manuel Tamoya- Cardenas, 37, of Borger
•Margurette Ruth Weese, 37, of Borger
•Ashley Nicole Beagle, 22, of Borger
•Adolph Gilbert Castillo, 26, of Borger
•Carolina Diana Cervantes, 25, of Borger
•Gloria Esmerelda Chavarria, 20, of Borger
•Lachrista Ruth Endekas, 48, of Borger
•Waylan Deon Jones, 24, of Borger
•Jennifer Denise Mitchell, 32, of Borger
•Brandon Lydelle Morrison, 20, of Borger
•Andrew Paul Payne, 24, of Borger
•Aaron Michael Pennington, 31, of Borger
•Bobby Chad Barringer, 37, of Borger
•Cody Brandon Walesiak, 39, of Borger
"The Borger Police Department continues to strive daily to protect and serve the citizens of the community," Lt. Griffin said. "Therefore, through these interdiction enforcement actions, it helps to reduce thefts, burglaries, and all other criminal activities within the City of Borger. The Borger Police Department would like to thank the citizens of Borger for all of their support and encouragement."
He said the BPD is extremely grateful for any and all assistance received from the community. If any citizen witnesses any suspicious activity of any nature, they are asked and encouraged to contact either the Borger Police Department at (806) 273-0930 or Crime Stoppers at (806) 274-6371.
Any and all callers may remain anonymous and all tips and information received will remain confidential. Anyone reporting an outstanding/unsolved crime, narcotics information, a wanted fugitive from justice, or any other criminal activity to Crime Stopper may be eligible for a reward.
Crime Stoppers awards range from $50 up to $1,000 for relevant information and tips. Also, anyone who reports a tip to Crime Stoppers in reference to a working methamphetamine lab, and that information proves relevant enough where the lab is located and confiscated, is automatically eligible for a $500 reward through Crime Stoppers.

A course that includes all of these obstacles is considered a "standard" or "regular" course. AKC offers a JWW (Jumpers with Weaves) class that only features jumps, tunnels and weaves, so it is very fast. NADAC's "Jumpers" class is only jumps. USDAA offers fun strategy games like "Gamblers" and "Snooker" and pair relays. All courses are designed by a judge, and no matter how many trials you attend, you will never see the same course twice, even if you show under the same judge.
The judge's role goes beyond course design. "Once the judge gets to the show, she must make sure that the course is set up correctly, and then she judges any faults incurred during the run," says Elise Paffrath. "The judge is an observer, which is exhausting. In addition to travel [to the show site by car or plane], you're on your feet all day, you have to keep things moving and there can be conflicts."
Before your run, you have two ways to prepare your handling strategy. First, you can look at the course map, which shows you the location of each obstacle and how they are numbered. Second, you get a "walk-though" in which you and your fellow competitors walk the course. Sometimes it will differ slightly from what you read on the course map, so this is the time to review and/or rethink your strategy and memorize the course. Rather than try to remember it by number, it's best to think of it in terms of obstacle sequences, such as "jump-jump-A-frame" to "tire-table-seesaw" and so on. (For more details about competition and the differences between venues, invest in a copy of Clean Run Production's Competing in Agility: Entering Trials and What To Do When You Get There, by Cindy Buckholt. You can also check out the websites of each organization for rules, registration questions and more; see "Resources.").
Old Dogs, New Tricks
Teaching a dog to do the obstacles is relatively easy and fun, though it should always be done under supervision. With expert instruction, positive training methods and patience, any healthy dog can learn how to do obstacles in three to four months.
Some pieces of equipment require more time and effort than others. For example, teaching the teeter-totter is a step-by-step process. First, encourage your dog to get used to movement under his feet by walking on a square wobble board on top of a small ball. Second, teach your dog rear-end awareness by walking him through the rungs of a horizontal mini-ladder on the ground—most dogs do not need to think about the position of their back legs, as they normally just follow the front legs. Third, slowly lead your dog across a long, narrow board flat on the ground so that all four paws walk the plank. You can raise the height of this board gradually as the dog's confidence grows.
While your dog is learning the obstacles, your job is to learn handling skills so you can guide her from one obstacle to another. When you're learning a new handling maneuver, it's best to practice running without your dog and imagine her moving with you. That way, you can make many mistakes without punishing your dog with constant repetition.
"There is an art to handling," says Bud Houston, who is a retired AKC judge and currently judges for USDAA and the Teacup Dogs Agility Association when not teaching with his wife at Dogwood Training Center in Ohio. "The [team aspect] is one of the overlooked elements of our game. Some people consider the dog to be 95 percent of the team. When you bring a young dog into the house, within months, the dog understands how you move. The same 'laws of motion' are applicable to agility. You must interpret how your dog interprets your movement. A lot of dogs do what I call 'compensatory learning.' Even though you might err in your movement, the dog is clever enough to figure out what you want of him."
In general, our body language overrules verbal commands, so if you say, "A-frame" but your shoulders and outstretched hand face the direction of a tunnel, guess where your dog will go? (Editor's note: See Patricia McConnell's column for more on this subject.) The more seasoned the dog, the more weight he will give to verbal commands as your body moves ahead or laterally to prepare for the next obstacle.

I love this Doctor! He was funny and articulate! I can't believe there are people who find him wanting. I saw him October 2014.

Had a good experience...sure the office is old, but I was there for me and not his decorator. The receptionist was lovely and Dr. Chan very efficiently dx'd and Rx'd and I was on my way. I was in and out in 10 minutes and am happy with the results. The Dr. seemed happy and relaxed, I would not hesitate to go back.

This Dr office is DISGUSTING to say the least! Reception put us in a small smelly room with DIRTY USED TOOLS in the sink with water dripping all over counter and iodine on cotton swabs left from last patient! The other medical supplies in this room were dusty and old and not clean! Dr did not wash his hands made me get undressed with out leaving the room and then was super rude and told me I knew nothing about how to check a mole! SERIOUSLY this guy needs to pack it in he is old and his practice is NASTY!!! never going back!

I am very impressed with Dr. Chan. I had an itchy rash which was getting very bad, in my scalp and on my neck. I was using ointment recommended by my family dr. but it did very little to clear up the rash. He was very informative and pleasant. The Clobex spray and Protopic he prescribed for me had my rash cleared up in a week. I am very thankful to him for getting my skin back to normal after 3 years of suffering.

Dr.Chan has taken care of my skin issues since the mid 1990's. Both he and his staff are friendly,professional and caring. Dr.Chan removed a skin cancer from my left cheek and has kept my skin in good health ever since. I would strongly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a great and experienced skin Doctor. Oh he is very personable to deal with as well.

I only waited 5 minutes before he saw me. But he was very quick and spent 2 minutes telling me what my condition was without inspecting it. He wrote a prescription and told me to take it for at least 6 weeks before I would see a result and referred me to another dermatologist in the building for a treatment that he does not have in his office. He gets right to the point, but did not let me ask any questions or anything. Will have to see if his prescription works.

So when I went to have that suspicious mole (appeared a few years ago, changes shape, colour, size and hurts when touched) removed from my big toe on Tuesday by Dr. Chan (who I saw earlier in the month, at first said it was a freckle, I explained my concerns and he finally agreed to remove said mole and biopsy it). He came in and asked about the mole on my nose (?!?), then said it was nothing and he was going to scrape it off. He then proceeds to get a razor blade (scalpel blade) and starts shaving it off (with no numbing agent at all) into a cotton ball then tosses said cotton ball with the mole into the garbage bin. Well, there goes my biopsy of said suspicious mole.....it would have been nice to know if it was malignant or benign :/ AND the area is all black even though I have been cleaning the heck out of it and peroxiding it, and looks and feels like I did it myself. Oh ya, it FRIGGIN' hurts!!!

Not a nice person AT ALL,I ended up in tears leaving his office b/c he was so rude & uncaring.I am a woman and for about 20 yrs I have had an embarressing condition that causes facial hair. About 10 yrs ago I finally had enough and with all my courage began electrolysis and as a result I am now left with pitted scars, holes and "wrinkling" (type of scar from electrolysis) all over my face. He took one quick glance with his dirty microscope and told me there was "nothing there"& "needed physcological help" when there is obvious wrinkling and pitting ALL over my face, so bad that I have a hard time even leaving the house everyday. I was extremely hurt I was treated this way, he did not even loook at all just stated "nope nothing" in one short second!I also asked "DR" Chan to look at my broken blood vessels on my nose and he stated I was imagining that as well, again didnt even look.He does not take anything seriously its like peoples feelings and conditions are a joke to him,beware!

After reading through the comments on this page, I was nervous about my visit with Dr. Chan. However, after having been in to see him I have absolutely no complaints. He was on time, professional, helpful AND friendly. He took my concern seriously and offered some great advice. I would definitely go back to see him.

The patient room we waited in was filthy. The garbage can was filthy covered in brown stains. I wiped the bed sides so my 9 months old doesn't get any germs and it wiped off completely black! I looked at his utensils, the magnifying glass, the mirror, the chairs all covered with dirty spots as though no one has wiped them clean for months. Then Dr.Chan walks in, his finger nails long and dirty!! He didn't even wash his hands between patients! When examining my daughter he uses his dirty magnifying glass he can barely see through, the worst part HE USED THE TIP of HIS DIRTY PEN to irritate her skin bumps to see how they react!!!!!! I just wanted to scream and pull my daughter out of his care. I also disagree with his diagnosis! He barely asked any questions to diagnose it and reading more about his diagnosis my daughter does not have any of the symptoms associated with it! Also the receptionist has no understanding of patient confidentiality. Will never go back!

On July 25, 2006 I wrote a review and listed ten things about Torrey Ridge that I evaluated. They included the staff, traffic, parking, the grounds, the front gate,ants and bugs, Heating and A/C, value for the dollar, apartment amenities and complex amenities. In all these areas except for traffic and the front gate I rated Torrey Ridge fairly highly. Traffic is still a problem with people not stopping at Stop signs and motorcycles and some cars speeding up and down the entrance drive. The front gate, well that will always be a problem it seems.
This time, I will say something about the trash and recycle bins. Either there are not enough of them or the residents just have too much trash, garbage and things to recycle. So maybe it's time to add some more bins. Also, residents may not be clear about what constitutes items that should be put into the recycle bins and what items should not. So perhaps it is time for Torrey Ridge to issue some more instructions on this matter.
One final item and that is security. To date, in the three years that I have lived here I have not seen a notice letting the residents know of any crimes (i.e. theft, assault, etc.) that have been reported to have been committed on the property. So, either that means that no crimes of any type have been reported or, if they have been, the residents have not been made aware of any. If this is the case, I believe that residents should be made aware of any reported crimes committed on the property.
So, overall, I still think Torrey Ridge is a good place to live, but could be made better.

In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlinby Erik Larson
Staff Pick
The rise of the Third Reich as observed by William Dodd, America's first ambassador to Hitler's Germany, and his free-spirited daughter is the chilling topic of Erik Larson's impressive new book. With his gift for narration, Larson has once again created a work of history that reads as compellingly as a great work of fiction.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Erik Larson has been widely acclaimed as a master of narrative non-fiction, and in his new book, the bestselling author of Devil in the White City turns his hand to a remarkable story set during Hitler's rise to power.
The time is 1933, the place, Berlin, when William E. Dodd becomes America's first ambassador to Hitler's Germany in a year that proved to be a turning point in history.
A mild-mannered professor from Chicago, Dodd brings along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha. At first Martha is entranced by the parties and pomp, and the handsome young men of the Third Reich with their infectious enthusiasm for restoring Germany to a position of world prominence. Enamored of the "New Germany," she has one affair after another, including with the surprisingly honorable first chief of the Gestapo, Rudolf Diels. But as evidence of Jewish persecution mounts, confirmed by chilling first-person testimony, her father telegraphs his concerns to a largely indifferent State Department back home. Dodd watches with alarm as Jews are attacked, the press is censored, and drafts of frightening new laws begin to circulate. As that first year unfolds and the shadows deepen, the Dodds experience days full of excitement, intrigue, romance — and ultimately, horror, when a climactic spasm of violence and murder reveals Hitler's true character and ruthless ambition.
Suffused with the tense atmosphere of the period, and with unforgettable portraits of the bizarre Goring and the expectedly charming — yet wholly sinister — Goebbels, In the Garden of Beasts lends a stunning, eyewitness perspective on events as they unfold in real time, revealing an era of surprising nuance and complexity. The result is a dazzling, addictively readable work that speaks volumes about why the world did not recognize the grave threat posed by Hitler until Berlin, and Europe, were awash in blood and terror.
"In this mesmerizing portrait of the Nazi capital, Larson plumbs a far more diabolical urban cauldron than in his bestselling The Devil in the White City. He surveys Berlin, circa 1933-1934, from the perspective of two Americans: Roosevelt's ambassador to Germany, William Dodd, an academic historian and Jeffersonian liberal who hoped Nazism would de-fang itself (he urged Hitler to adopt America's milder conventions of anti-Jewish discrimination), and Dodd's daughter Martha, a sexual free spirit who loved Nazism's vigor and ebullience. At first dazzled by the glamorous world of the Nazi ruling elite, they soon started noticing signs of its true nature: the beatings meted out to Americans who failed to salute passing storm troopers; the oppressive surveillance; the incessant propaganda; the intimidation and persecution of friends; the fanaticism lurking beneath the surface charm of its officialdom. Although the narrative sometimes bogs down in Dodd's wranglings with the State Department and Martha's soap opera, Larson offers a vivid, atmospheric panorama of the Third Reich and its leaders, including murderous Nazi factional infighting, through the accretion of small crimes and petty thuggery.

"Larson is a marvelous writer...superb at creating characters with a few short strokes." New York Times Book Review
"Excellent....suspenseful, [has] the feel of a John le Carre novel." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"A brilliant and often infuriating account of the experiences and evolving attitudes of the Dodd family during Hitler's critical first year in power. With the benefit of hindsight, of course, the Dodds seem almost criminally ignorant, but Larson treats them with a degree of compassion that elevates them to tragic status." Booklist(Starred, Boxed Review)
"Chillingly portrays the terror and oppression that slowly settle over Germany in 1933." Library Journal
Book News Annotation:
In this readable narrative, author Larson (The Devil in the White City, Thunderstruck) offers a real-life, eyewitness perspective inside the Nazi hierarchy as Hitler came to power. William E. Dodd, a mild-mannered professor from Chicago, became the first US ambassador to Hitler's Germany in 1933. Dodd, his wife, their son, and their 24-year-old daughter Martha lived in Germany for about five years. Drawing on Martha's diaries and letters, much of the book centers on Martha's romantic affairs with high-ranking Nazi officials and her eventual heroism as she realized Hitler's true character. Meanwhile, her father William Dodd informed the US State Department of increasing Jewish persecution, with little response from the State Department. The book sheds light on why it took so long for the world to recognize the threat posed by Hitler. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
The little-known World War II espionage story of Spaniard Juan Pujol, who convinced Hitlers Abwehr that he had a ring of spies in Britain, only to pull off one of the greatest feats of any double agent: he fooled Hitler and disguised D-Day.
Were the D-Day landings saved from failure because of a lone secret agent?
Agent Garbo tells the astonishing story of a self-made secret agent who matched wits with the best minds of the Third Reich and#8212; and won. Juan Pujol was a nobody, a Barcelona poultry farmer determined to oppose the Nazis. Using only his gift for daring falsehoods, Pujol became Germanyand#8217;s most valued agent and#8212; or double agent: it took four tries before the British believed he was really on the Alliesand#8217; side.
In the guise of Garbo, Pujol turned in a masterpiece of deception worthy of his big-screen namesake. He created an imaginary million-man army, invented armadas out of thin air, and brought a vast network of fictional subagents whirring to life. His unwitting German handlers believed every word, and banked on Garboand#8217;s lies as their only source of espionage within Great Britain.
For his greatest performance, Pujol had to convince the German High Command that the D-Day invasion of Normandy was a feint and the real attack was aimed at Calais. The Nazis bought it, turning the tide of battle at the crucial moment.
Based on years of archival research and interviews with Pujoland#8217;s family, Agent Garbo is a true-life thriller set in the shadow world of espionage and deception.
"The book presses ever forward down a path of historical marvels and astonishing facts. The effect is like a master class that's accessible to anyone, and Agent Garbo often reads as though it were written in a single, perfect draft."—The Atlantic
Before he remade himself as the master spy known as Garbo, Juan Pujol was nothing more than a Barcelona poultry farmer. But as Garbo, he turned in a masterpiece of deception that changed the course of World War II. Posing as the Nazis' only reliable spy inside England, he created an imaginary million-man army, invented armadas out of thin air, and brought a vast network of fictional subagents to life. The scheme culminated on June 6, 1944, when Garbo convinced the Germans that the Allied forces approaching Normandy were just a feint—the real invasion would come at Calais. Because of his brilliant trickery, the Allies were able to land with much less opposition and eventually push on to Berlin.
As incredible as it sounds, everything in Agent Garbo is true, based on years of archival research and interviews with Pujol's family. This pulse-pounding thriller set in the shadow world of espionage and deception reveals the shocking reality of spycraft that occurs just below the surface of history.
"Stephan Talty's unsurpassed research brings forth one of the war's greatest agents in a must-read book for those who think they know all the great World War II stories." —Gregory Freeman, author of The Forgotten 500

Obama's hard-nosed negotiating style bears fruit
There was a lot of concern among conservatives earlier when Obama announced his major breakthrough in relations with Cuba. Many felt that Obama gave away the store, that he gave Raul Castro a lot and received precious little in return. President Obama will move as soon as next month to defang the 54-year-old American trade embargo against Cuba, administration officials said Thursday, using broad executive | Read More »

Here's a rather dirty joke from Bill Maher - VIDEO
My favorite part of Real Time With Bill Maher is the last segment, "New Rules." It's a segment devoted to looking at things a little bit differently, offering new rules for current events, celebrities, and politicians. Maher released a great book last year with the same title.
After the jump is a clip (from Salon) of the latest "New Rules" segment of the HBO Friday night show. It's entitled "Half-Cocked," and I would usually say to you that the clip is NSFW, but you can probably guess that from the title.

A Community in TransitionPosted July 17th, 2008 by Anonymous
Friends Neighborhood Guild with Scribe Video Center
This video is available for purchase as part of a Precious Places Community History Project Vol.2 compilation DVD.
In 1949, interracial cooperative living was a radical idea in Philadelphia. The Friends Housing Cooperative transformed this concept into practice. Founded by the Friends Neighborhood Guild and the American Friends Service Committee—both Quaker organizations—to provide low-income collective housing for black and white families years before the organized Civil Rights Movement came to prominence, the Friends Housing Cooperative was a community of people who lived their ideals.

Owner and director of Green Man Festival Fiona Stewart says increasing artist booking fees are making it harder than ever for independent events to compete for headliners in a crowded market.
The exec discussed the state of the live industry with Music Week after being awarded the Outstanding Contribution to Festivals Award at the tenth annual UK Festival Awards on Monday, December 2.
Stewart's career in entertainment and events spans 25 years and in 2010 she was recruited as a panel member of the Welsh Assembly Creative Industries Advisory Board.
Green Man takes place in the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales and during its 11 year tenure has booked names such as Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Flaming Lips, Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Robert Plant, Mumford & Sons, Band of Horses, Laura Marling, Alt J, James Blake and Joanna Newsom.
However, the cost of artist fees have "increased incredibly over the years," explains Stewart. "There's a division between management companies who are still interested in their artists performing at festivals like Green Man - that aren't particularly massively moneyed events - and others who just want to go for as much money as they can get which we can't offer them," she says.
"When people ask me, 'Oh I'd love to have such and such playing at the festival," I think there's no way I can compete with [the major festivals] price-wise, artist fees have doubled in the last few years, its just gone bonkers."
2012 was a notoriously bad year for the live events market with a large number of festivals being scrapped due to financial pressures, slow ticket sales and weather complications. Amongst those affected were Creamfields, Sonisphere UK, The Big Chill, Lady Rock Festival and Go Go Festival.
"Quite a lot of management companies probably got their fingers burnt with festivals which have gone under but [they need to put their] hat on the festivals which have always come through," says Stewart.
"When I first started you had to give a kidney to someone to get a festival going and now you can go off and get a festival license very easily. So there are a lot of events that come up and then seem to disappear and that then creates a ripple effect right through the industry as everyone tries to claw their money back in other ways.
"But we're going to get to the stage where festival organisations, like mine, cannot afford to run. It will be a bad situation for all those small festivals if it gets to a point where they can't afford to book any of the well-known artists.
Despite a successful summer for the likes of Reading & Leeds Festival, Glastonbury and V Festival, Sonisphere, which cited a "lack of available headliners", the Big Chill, Lady Rock Festival and Go Go Festival all failed to return in 2013.
Stewart proposes stricter rules imposed on those attempting to enter the festival market who may not have enough "money and expertise" to make their idea a success.
"There's enough festivals out there and [a crowded market] makes it more difficult for the people who actually have a good concept and a good idea to get a contractor behind them," she says.
"The licensing should be rectified and actual financial controls put in place to check that people who are entering the market actually have enough money to do it, there's no real credit check on what goes on which I find odd.
"There are so many amazing events doing incredible things and the state of the festival industry is healthy but we can't just make this happen because we fancy it. There's a an 'X Factor' idealism of: 'I want it, so I shall have it', but it's just time wasting."
Green Man has previously taken home the UK Festival Awards for Best Medium Festival (2010) and Best Grass Roots Festival (2012). The event was recently named one of the top 50 brands in the 'UK Cool Brands list' 2013.
