My grandma had to have emurgency surgery e weeks ago. She had snapped her wrist. This dr haf her in surgery for 3 hours. The surgery went good. We even consulted another surgeon and he said this dr did a good job. She ended up with 1 plate and 6 screws. BUT the one bone that wasnt screwed in place shifted. And so this dr rodwan might have to redo thd surgery. He should have fixed that bone to be begin with... thats the only complaint. Other wise i think he knows what he is doing.

I was very impressed with Dr. Rodwan when I met him before hip replacement in August, 2013 and even travelled to Moose Jaw for the surgery and physiotherapy. I was able to walk with only a cane after about 10 days. However, improvement has been a problem since then. I am still experiencing discomfort ranging from my lower back even to my lower leg. Several months of physio produced very little results and Dr. Rodwan said I had weak muscles. I am now receiving physio at Wascana Rehab and, in my opinion, believe the main problem is that the operated leg is shorter than the other - which is the opposite situation prior to surgery. How did I discover this? After several years of mismatched pant legs, my wife finally convinced tailors that each pant leg had to be measured separately. The leg that was originally longer is now shorter! It is almost 18 months since the hip surgery and no solution in sight!

Worst doctors office Ive ever been to. His staff are rude and bitchy to deal with and when you need stuff for your insurance it takes over month to get filled out. Not
only that when you go to pick the forms up they close the office early. This has happened on more than one occasion. He is good at answering your questions when your in the office with him but trying to phone him is a nightmare. I would not recommend him simply because of his staff and the wait time for paperwork to be completed.

Broke my wrist and was referred to him to cast me and then take the cast off. Both times at his office they were running 1.5 hours behind. When he took my cast off he cut and burnt my hand pretty bad, his response "oh sorry, i guess your skin was sensitive" - any skin would do that when you place a saw on the skin for an extended period of time!

Had rotator cuff surgery Sept. 18 2013, Surgery went well and recovery is going great. However it has been almost 6 weeks and he still hasnt filled out my disability insurance forms. 6 weeks and no money isnt a good thing. Make sure he fills out your forms before you leave or he may not do them even though you paid for them.

Dr Rodwan performed rotator cuff surgery on me July 29/12. Did a great job. Explained everything he was doing, he could see I was in a great deal of pain and took care of that. Supposed to have a 7-9 month wait for surgery (which is not the Dr's fault)and he fit me in at 5 months. Told me exactly what to expect for recovery time and physio...and it's all worked out. Would highly recommend him to anyone. Plus I live in Moose Jaw and he does clinics here...He Rocks!

Current Marco Island Planning Board holds final session; members say farewell
MARCO ISLAND - With two agenda items, Marco Island's Planning Board completed business Friday in a record 26 minutes.
Nancy Richie, city environmental specialist, reported on efforts to make beachfront hotels, restaurants and vendors accountable for beach litter. Offending trash included disposable plastic lids, cups and straws.
A push for better education came after an earlier report by Richie letting the board know non-paid beach stewards and volunteer clean-up crews were collecting thousands of discarded plastic items on the beach.
Richie praised beach businesses for addressing the issue and assured the board trash had been reduced to only a few pieces per day. She said businesses were reminding their employees to clean up with slogans such as "Every day is Earth Day" and "See a cup, pick it up."
The board heard a petition from Jerry Harmeyer of 1248 Orange Court asking for a 5-foot extension to an existing finger dock. The dock was approved by Collier County's Planning Commission prior to Marco Island becoming a city.
The extension was requested to allow safe access when entering the owner's boat. The left side of the finger dock extends 48 feet into Factory Bay. The paralleling right side is shorter. The 5-foot addition to the right side will make both extensions equal length, said Joe Irvin, city zoning administrator.
City Attorney Burt Saunders told the board the original resolution for the dock's length was grandfathered at the time of cityhood. The board approved by a 5-0 vote to grant a resolution providing for the extension. Board members David Caruso and Max Peterhans were not present.
Jack Patterson of the board asked to set the record straight regarding Jim Timmerman's criticism of recent joint meetings between the Planning Board and Waterways Advisory Committee. Timmerman suggested waterway committee members were not allowed to fully participate in drawing up an ordinance for city council on use of vacant lots for seawall fabrication and dock construction.
"The meetings were fair and open and spoke to how well this board was run," said Monte Lazarus of the Planning Board. "Timmerman said the waterways committee was snubbed, but we are the board responsible for taking recommendations up to city council."
The Planning Board was asked by city council to prepare the document with input from the waterways committee. Waterways committee members did not vote on what ordinance moved forward.
City Attorney Saunders told the board the vote was conducted properly and done as directed. The Planning Board was told to work with the waterways committee and then make recommendations to council, he said.
Marv Needles expressed frustration with the city's lack of compliance with Planning Board decisions.
"The business I'm in takes me around the community frequently. We make decisions that we hope will be for the betterment of this community," he said. "Code enforcement is lacking. Why pass ordinances if they will not be enforced? I could ride around and find 10-20 infractions in one day."
During community discussion, City Council Chairman Joe Batte thanked the Planning Board for its service.
"You bring a wealth of experience to the council and help us make good decisions," he said. All Planning Board members' terms expire at the end on January. Some sitting members may be reappointed if selected by city councilors.
Another session of the current Planning Board is scheduled on the city's calendar for Jan. 14, but the board does not plan to meet unless necessary.

In its Joint Statement of November 29, 2011, the Transatlantic Economic Council agreed to launch a cooperation platform on raw materials covering a variety of topics, including common issues stemming from international trade, and to develop a detailed list of actions in all areas where cooperation should be strengthened.
I) Trade cooperation
- First, the United States and the EU reaffirmed their joint ambition to promote the principle of elimination of export duties in their respective bilateral trade agreements with third countries. To that end, the United States and the EU entered into a:
(i) review of disciplines developed by each party in its past trade agreements; and
(ii) prospective discussion of how to coordinate corresponding commitments in on-going trade negotiations with third countries.
Second, United States and the EU agreed to work together to raise awareness in third countries on the impact on global markets of the proliferation of trade barriers in the raw materials sector. WTO's Trade Policy Reviews (TPR), a regular process by which the WTO secretariat examines the trade policy and practices of WTO members, have proved a useful channel to engage in that exercise. Consequently, the WTO established a joint review of upcoming TPRs for this year. Before each meeting, the United States and the EU will exchange of notes on its respective goals/approaches on raw materials issues.
- Third, the United States and the EU are strengthening their cooperation at the OECD on export restrictions affecting raw materials in several ways.
(i) Thanks to coordinated input by the United States and the EU, the OECD was able to develop a database of export restrictions affecting industrial raw materials, which will be announced formally in mid-May. This is a key tool for further economic analysis and policy debate. This is also a major first step to overcome the lack of global transparency surrounding the use of export restrictions.
(ii) The United States and the EU coordinated their input on the OECD Programme for Work and Budget (PWB) for 2013-2014. This builds upon the OECD's past work, focusing on three objectives: demonstrating global interdependence in raw materials trade; ensuring outreach of OECD work beyond OECD members; and monitoring the use of certain trade-distortive measures on raw materials markets and work to secure future updates of the OECD export restrictions database.
- Fourth, the United States and the EU agreed to develop a common checklist of raw materials-related trade disciplines that can be discussed in the context of current and future WTO accession processes. Informal exchanges have already taken place, but this process is in the early stages.
II) Raw Materials Data, Flows and Information Sharing
The United States and the EU propose to hold a workshop tentatively entitled "Availability and Trade Flows of Primary and Secondary Raw Materials" in September 2012 in Brussels. The main aim of the workshop is to examine how the United States and the EU may share raw materials data in a way which supports policies promoting a sustainable supply of raw materials. In order to achieve this, the workshop could cover the following topics:
Comparing what information both jurisdictions have in terms of primary and secondary industrial raw materials (i.e. metal and minerals);
Presenting on how this information is made available and by whom;
Exchanging information on the ongoing U.S. and EU studies on criticality;
Examining areas where material flow information is insufficient;
Sharing views on the consequences of this information deficit for policy development; and
- Agreeing on what information could be shared and how such an inventory would be formulated and maintained.
Other goals of this work could include:
Improved inventory of identified resources;
Improved modeling of critical mineral-bearing deposit types and assessment of undiscovered critical mineral resources;
Improved data on mineral supply chains concentrating on the initial stages of production including mining, processing through the production of a salable product, and initial fabrication; and
- Improved mineral end use data in order to better understand mineral supply chains and potential sources of recycled materials.
The United States and EU also collaborate in this area under the U.S.-EU Science and Technology Agreement. Opportunities for future collaboration that were identified and agreed upon during the November 2011 Joint Consultative Group (JCG) meeting on raw materials data collection include:
improve inventories by standardizing materials classification scheme;
link data analysis with future technologies; and
- leverage existing investments through networking activities.
The work of the JCG in this area represents an integral part of U.S.-EU collaboration on data flows in the TEC, Energy Council, and other fora.
III) Resource Efficiency and Recycling
In February 2012, the United States and European Commission worked together on items of mutual interest on recycling and resource efficiency while participating in the 2nd meeting of the OECD Working Party on Resource Productivity and Waste. This meeting, which addressed a range of topics, included in its discussions the sound management of nanowaste, transboundary movements of waste for recovery, sustainable materials management of critical metals in mobile devices, the sustainable management of construction materials from a life-cycle perspective, material flows and resource productivity, and other matters concerning trade, economic, technical, regulatory, non-regulatory, and other measures addressing resource efficiency and recovery of valuable resources contained in materials and wastes.
While the Working Party examined many substantive items of mutual interest to both sides, the United States and the EU collaborated specifically at this meeting to develop the Working Party's future work program, recognizing the limited resources available to advancing new work in resource efficiency and sustainable materials management (which inherently includes recycling). The United States and the EU believe that advancing work in Sustainable Materials Management (SMM) could help support member countries to adopt SMM-relevant policies and approaches, including on-going work of the Working Party on critical metals in mobile phones, and new work on SMM of construction materials.
The Basel Convention Partnership for Action on Computing Equipment (PACE) is another area of cooperation between the United States and the European Union focusing on improving the environmentally sound management (recycling, refurbishment, and disposal) of used and end-of-life computing equipment. The United States and the EU collaborate within this forum to develop guidance and recommendations on a wide range of important issues directly relevant to improving resource efficiency and recovery of used and end-of-life electronics, such as: guideline on environmentally sound testing; refurbishment, and repair of used computing equipment; guideline on environmentally sound material recovery and recycling of end-of-life computing equipment; guidance on transboundary movement of used and end-of-life computing equipment; glossary of terms; and report on ESM criteria recommendations.
With regard to recycling, the United States and the EU both have strategies in place on both sides to foster efficient use and recycling of raw materials. The U.S. Government's "National Strategy for Electronics Stewardship," released in July 2011, provides recommendations about how the U.S. Government can promote a sustainable lifecycle approach to managing used electronics in a way that protects human health and the environment in the United States and abroad. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is the EU's mandate for addressing recycling of these materials and has been in force since 2003. It sets targets for collection by Member States while putting the responsibility on the producers or manufacturers.
Both sides confirm their intent as expressed in the November 29, 2011, TEC statement to participate a high level meeting with stake-holders with a view to share best practices in materials management through the full life cycle of electronic goods and support TABD's proposal to help organise an event on "Best Practices in Electronic Management/Stewardship" in the second half of 2012, to be held in the United States. Work on a joint agenda with stakeholders will start shortly.
- The United States will continue to cooperate with the United Nations University – StEP (Solving the E-waste Problem) Initiative, based in Bonn, Germany, which is a science-based platform for researchers, industry, NGOs, international organizations and academia to actively engage on finding approaches to the sustainable handling of e-waste. Many EU-based organizations are already StEP members and contribute regularly to the dialogue.
IV) Research and Development on Raw Material Substitution and Reduction
A Trilateral Conference on Critical Materials was held in Tokyo in March 28-29, 2012, to follow up on the Trilateral Conference on Critical Materials held in Washington in October 2011. The Tokyo event included a Workshop on New Approaches to Reduce Rare Earths for Permanent Magnets and Phosphors, building upon the Washington Workshop on Substitutes for and Efficient Use of Rare Earth Magnets which focused on ways to reduce requirements for rare earth materials in wind turbine generators and electric vehicle motors – key drivers of efficient, low-carbon growth in the power and transport sectors.
At these events, the United States, EU and Japan explored opportunities for collaboration to reduce neodymium and dysprosium requirements in the permanent magnets that wind turbines and EV motors rely upon in the following ways:
Fundamental studies of coercivity mechanisms (which give permanent magnets their resistance to being demagnetized);
Improved characterization and measurement tools to substantiate the inferences that can be made from experimental observations about microstructure properties;
Validated and improved models of magnetic behavior and mechanisms;
Techniques to enhance the stability and texture of nanocomposite structures;
Evaluation of the manufacturability of candidate materials for permanent magnets; and
- Technology roadmaps for the research and development of hard magnets for different applications (such as wind turbine generators and electric vehicle motors).
Participants also explored opportunities to collaborate on component and system substitutions for rare earths, in particular, helping to design motors and generators without permanent magnets, in the following ways:
Harmonization and standardization of testing methods for motors and generators;
Design and development of traction motors (using less rare earth materials);
Development of software to optimize the electromagnetic design of motors;
- Tools to characterize properties of High-Temperature Super-Conducting materials.
The Trilateral Conference on Critical Materials also included a Workshop on Critical Material Resource Efficiency: Production, Reuse, Recovery, and Recycling. Part of the workshop focused on materials and processes for environmentally sound and cost-effective separation of rare earths from ore bodies and recycling streams. Another part of the workshop concentrated on recycling and reprocessing of rare earths from different sources using different techniques.
With respect to separation of rare earths from recycling streams, participants explored the potential for collaborative projects in several areas:
Development of new types of solvents for extraction of rare earths;
Demonstration of electrolytic processes for rare earth separation;
Research on bioseparation of rare earths (e.g. indium, gallium, dysprosium); and
- Research on hydrothermal processing (e.g. for tungsten, cobalt, neodymium).
With regard to recycling, participants explored the following areas for cooperation:
Improved understanding of how to reduce costs of collection, transportation, characterization and sorting, separation, purification, and other processing;
Characterization of, standards for, and labelling of recycling streams (e.g. labeling of magnet compositions contained within electronic scrap;
Development and demonstration of processes to separate and recover rare earths from magnets, lighting, manufacturing wastes and end-of-life products; and
- Analysis of material flows and life-cycle impacts on energy use and emissions.
V) Waste Shipment
In response to the National Strategy for Electronics Stewardship, the U.S. Government (EPA) is partnering with EU-based United Nations StEP Initiative to develop methods for tracking the global flows of used electronics and e-waste. UNU-StEP is developing a publicly accessible centralized repository of information that would provide an estimate of volumes of e-waste in countries and on flows of these materials between countries. The current focus is on gaining better information from the United States on exports that would catalyze the gathering of this type of information from other countries in order to build a complete picture of the global flows.
As mentioned above regarding the Basel Convention PACE working group, the United States and the EU are engaged within PACE develop expert guidance on the transboundary movement of used and end-of-life electronics to improve environmentally sound recycling, repair, and refurbishment.
Finally, the United States and EU European Union Network for the Implementation and Enforcement of Environmental Law, (IMPEL) cooperate directly through the Seaport Environmental Security Network, as an ongoing activity of the International Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement (INECE). Collaborative efforts have included capacity building, simultaneous inspection projects involving various ports worldwide, and training workshops for port customs and environmental inspectors of e-waste and hazardous waste. These events are designed to increase inspection capacity by forging cooperative enforcement relationships between customs and environmental inspectors on adopting improved targeting approaches and implementing effective strategies for waste takeback situations.
The United States and the EU joint support of the Seaport Network's mission produces more effective enforcement worldwide which will help level the playing field in trade and reduce the public health and environmental effects from the illegal transboundary movement of e-waste and hazardous waste. Furthermore, by increasing the success of detecting and intervening against illegal transboundary movements of waste intended for recovery/recycling, the U.S. and EU collaborative efforts increase the lawful, global free trade of raw materials and dramatically improve the ratio of recovered materials and their sound management and use worldwide.

BACKGROUND: Compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) is estimated to affect 3% to 6% of adults, although limited information is available on the true prevalence and impact of CSB in young adults. This epidemiological study aims to estimate the prevalence and health correlates of CSB using a large sample of students.
METHODS: The survey examined sexual behaviors and their consequences, stress and mood states, psychiatric comorbidity, and psychosocial functioning.
RESULTS: The estimated prevalence of CSB was 2.0%. Compared with respondents without CSB, individuals with CSB reported more depressive and anxiety symptoms, higher levels of stress, poorer self-esteem, and higher rates of social anxiety disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, compulsive buying, pathological gambling, and kleptomania.
CONCLUSIONS: CSB is common among young adults and is associated with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and a range of psychosocial impairments. Significant distress and diminished behavioral control suggest that CSB often may have significant associated morbidity.

We are residents of Flushing, Queens. We have emailed, written, called, and begged our local council people, representatives, assembly people and even the borough president and no one has responded.
We have been asking to put a six-foot addition on our single family home. However, unless we get (a very expensive) variance, which it seems only builders and developers can either afford or avoid, regular homeowners (in our area) cannot improve their own homes for their quality of life.
It's lovely that Fresh Meadows can no longer build large ONE family homes. How about making it illegal to tear down one-family homes and replace them with 2, 3, or 4 family homes, sometimes constructing two of these types of houses on a former single-family home lot?
Our once quiet, 1-2 family home neighborhood, has changed into an overcrowded, multi-family non-neighborhood. These new homes are being built without enough parking. Sorry, but I would be willing to accept the cemented-over lawns so there would be adequate parking in our neighborhood if these developers are not going to be stopped. Garbage pick-up takes longer and the noise has, of course, gotten worse.
With all due respect, can't the city do something to stop the destruction of a once quiet neighborly neighborhood that has swiftly turned into a congested, overpopulated, noisy, and dirty urban mess?
Thank you very much for your time.
Cynthia Heinze & Susan Scharf
Dear Cynthia and Susan:
New York City's population is at an historic peak of 8.1 million residents, and Queens is leading the way, with neighborhoods housing more residents than ever before. I understand that people are concerned about the pace of change that this growth engenders. Achieving orderly development is critical to fostering appealing and productive communities, and since I took office, the Department of City Planning has taken unprecedented steps to adjust zoning to reflect new realities and protect neighborhoods from irresponsible change and development.
Never before has City Planning been so busy in Queens. Twenty targeted neighborhood studies across the borough have been completed, encompassing more than 2,100 blocks and leading to changes in the zoning code that respect the character of each community in question. Last year in the Flushing area, zoning changes were adopted for the Kissena Park and East Flushing neighborhoods, in addition to comprehensive rezoning in College Point and Whitestone.
With the help of residents, civic groups, and local officials, we are moving forward with our ambitious rezoning program across the borough. Please be assured that your participation is encouraged in evaluating the need for further zoning changes in the Flushing area, and you should contact the City Planning office in Queens at (718) 286-3170. Without the involvement of residents and civic groups, we would never have been able to address so many areas so effectively. Please give them a call, and we'll work together to preserve the neighborhood. Thanks for writing.

The following graphs illustrate the macroeconomic environment when the Legacy Assets were first issued and provide historical context for the decline in value of the Non-Agency RMBS Legacy Assets. While future changes in these factors may influence the value of the Legacy Assets, they are not meant to be, and should not be construed as, a prediction of individual loan or asset performance.
The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index tracks changes in the value of US residential real estate nationally. As the graph below indicates, from peak (July 2006) to trough (April 2009), the index is down 33%. The red bars represent the Non-Agency RMBS Legacy Assets by origination year.
Mortgages originated during the period of highest home prices (between 2004 and 2007) have the highest rates of default. Of the securities that comprise the Non-Agency RMBS Legacy Assets, 96% were originated during this period and carry the highest risk of default.
Unemployment is a key driver in the performance of the Non-Agency RMBS Legacy Assets. As the graph below illustrates, unemployment rates climbed since 2007 when the majority of Legacy Assets were originated.

The Insights eNewsletter
On Cabbages and Kings
First appeared on 05/02/2014. Insights is also available to members via email delivery.
This week Phil Lawler has once again shown both his wit and the breadth of his Catholic interests in a range of relatively brief commentaries:
- What? A papal tweet without a furor?!
- Vatican diplomacy on Iraq looks better in hindsight
- Of Douthat and Kasper, divorce and schism
- The Pope as loose cannon: a balanced view
Meanwhile, we might ask the score in the contest between the cabbages and the kings. The Cabbages Award goes to the Leadership Conference of Catholic Religious. You can judge how their reform is going by this news story: LCWR announces top award for theologian criticized by US bishops.
But the Kings Award goes to the scholars on whom the following news story is based: Coptic text mentioning 'wife of Jesus' shown as a fraud. Much like Elizabeth Johnson's book (see cabbages, above), as Catholic witness goes, it's a forgery.... [more content for subscribers]

My Top 10 Albums of 2010
10. Landmine Marathon,
Sovereign Descent
I really liked this album when it came out, but didn't honestly think much about it for a few months leading up to the Skeletonwitch/Landmine Marathon show I saw last weekend. It's been documented how face-ruling their set was that night, and when I revisited
Sovereign Descent
, I remembered why I thought it was so awesome in the first place, and came to like it more than I ever did in March when it came out. This one's a fucking monstrous slab of
Symphonies of Sickness
-inspired deathgrind, filled to the brim with crushing riffs, subtle-but-phenomenal guitar melodies, and, of course, skin-searing vocals courtesy of one Grace Perry.
Key Tracks: "Exist," "Shadows Fed to Tyrants," "Chained By the Same Fate"
9. The Ocean,
(Metal Blade)
Unfortunately, this is probably the only album by The Ocean that I will ever truly love it shows their mellower, more melodic, progressive side, which I think they're infinitely better at than their heavier material but I'm very glad it exists. It's like Isis-meets-Tool-meets-saxophone-and-cello, and it's awe-inspiring at every turn. It's a pretty ambitious disc that tries to sell an unbelievable amount of German-accented crooning and classical instrumentation to a metal fanbase, but all of its experiments are blistering successes. Here's hoping they release something else like this at some point.
Key Tracks: "The Origin of Species," "The Origin of God," "Firmament"
8. Slough Feg,
The Animal Spirits
(Profound Lore)
They're still underground, true, but Slough Feg are stalwarts of heavy metal at this point. Everybody's heard of them, and everybody who likes them expects each album to become a minor classic in the scene. Their Profound Lore debut is no exception; Mike Scalzi has cranked out yet another batch of brilliant traditional metal tunes, this time reverting to a rawer, more stripped-down production, presentation and songwriting approach than his past several Slough Feg discs. I was a fan of the overblown nature of songs like "Tiger! Tiger!" and "Ape Uprising," but his newfound primitivity suits the material well, and it's nothing shy of excellent.
Key Tracks: "Ask the Casket," "Heavyworlder," "Tactical Air-War"
7. Man's Gin,
Smiling Dogs
(Profound Lore)
was my favorite album of 2009, and their multi-instrumentalist Erik Wunder is the man responsible for my seventh-favorite album of 2010.
Smiling Dogs
has been called a tribute to Bruce Springsteen's
the cover art suggests as much but I kind of see it as the folk/Americana version of
. A lot of the lyrics and atmosphere are similar to that album, they're just adapted to a dark folk context instead of black metal. Whatever this album is, though, it works, and it's one of the most addicting listens of the year.
Key Tracks: "Nuclear Ambition Part 1," "Nuclear Ambition Part 2," "Free"
6. Iron Maiden,
The Final Frontier
It wouldn't be a top
list from me if Iron Maiden wasn't on it, so it shouldn't come as any shock to see this record place this highly. Hell, #6 is probably lower than I would have expected a Maiden album to fall. Describing the sound of this disc would be like retelling the plot of
Star Wars
, so I'll spare you. Needless to say, it's an Iron Maiden album, and it rules.
Key Tracks: "Starblind," "Isle of Avalon," "Coming Home"
5. Watain,
Lawless Darkness
(Season of Mist)
I can't think of many bands who are more serious about their image than Watain; I'm still not entirely sure whether they've convinced themselves that they're in bondage with the dark arts or if all that animal sacrifice is just for show. For being so extremely extreme on stage, their actual music is shockingly worldly this is a tr00 black metal album, yes, but it incorporates influences from just about every subgenre, perhaps most notably NWOBHM in some of those enormous guitar harmonies and unlikely scream-along choruses.
Lawless Darkness
is a great album because of those influences, not despite them.
Key Tracks: "Reaping Death," "Waters of Ain," "Malfeitor"
4. Blind Guardian,
At the Edge of Time
(Nuclear Blast)
Can't say I really saw this coming when I surveyed the year's release calendar back in January. I don't really care very much about power metal, and I certainly didn't think a power metal band would crack my top ten in 2010. I had forgotten that Blind Guardian are the eternal exception to the rule, a power metal band that embraces the swords-and-sorcery imagery, the bombastic production, the minstrelsy acoustic guitar bits, the uber-melodic and omnipresent solos and leads, the billion-tracked vocals...
and still totally fucking rules.
At the Edge of Time
may be my favorite BG disc, and every single song is great. Classic, classic shit.
Key Tracks: "Sacred Worlds," "Valkyries," "Wheel of Time"
3. Atheist,
(Season of Mist)
The mere fact that you see this album sitting at #3 after a seventeen-year recess from recording says that Atheist lived up to their very high expectations, right? They managed to take the prog-death-defining sound they forged on
Piece of Time
Unquestionable Presence
, fused it with some of the more out-there jazzy bits from
and a healthy dose of current-gen Between the Buried and Me influence to make the most memorable technical death metal album I've heard since
The Sound of Perseverance.
Key Tracks: "Live and Live Again," "Second to Sun," "Faux King Christ"
2. Alcest,
Écailles de Lune
This was probably my most anticipated album of 2010, and an Iron Maiden album came out in 2010. That's how good 2007's
Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde
was, and how much hearing "Perceés de Lumiere" after it leaked as a part of a split with labelmates Les Discrets convinced me that hearing
would be a life-affirming moment. It basically was the album's only crime is being too short. I could listen to this shit for two hours if Neige let me.
Key Tracks: "Écailles de Lune - Part 1," "Écailles de Lune - Part 2," "Perceés de Lumiere"
1. Ludicra,
The Tenant
(Profound Lore)
Well, here it is. My favorite album of 2010. It was an underdog since I had never actually heard of Ludicra until this started getting good reviews earlier this year, but after countless spins, I'm completely satisfied with giving it the gold. Every song has no less than three parts a chromatic riff, a harmonized solo, a gut-punching lyric that absolutely makes you stop what you're doing and pay the album your full attention. I also believe, as several reviewers have before me, that this album is a perfect snapshot of the recession we're living through. I'll let the chorus to the title track sum this album up for you: "For all within your rooms/Your narrow rented tombs/Within your walls of want/The frame in which you haunt/Inside your restless storm/The paint is cracked and worn/Four walls, bubbled and pocked/Marked with shame, a bolted lock/A facade hides your worn-out pride/A shoddy view of others just like you/A window rattles you with what you hide." If you're not moved by that, somehow, then you might not like this album.
Key Tracks: "Clean White Void," "The Tenant, "Stagnant Pond"
Mortals are mortar and life is the fuse.

The Victory Lab: The Secret Science of Winning Campaigns
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The book Politico calls "Moneyball for politics" shows how cutting-edge social science and analytics are reshaping the modern political campaign.
Renegade thinkers are crashing the gates of a venerable American institution, shoving aside its so-called wise men and replacing them with a radical new data-driven order. We've seen it in sports, and now in The Victory Lab, journalist Sasha Issenberg tells the hidden story of the analytical revolution upending the way political campaigns are run in the 21st century.
The Victory Lab follows the academics and maverick operatives rocking the war room and re-engineering a high-stakes industry previously run on little more than gut instinct and outdated assumptions. Armed with research from behavioural psychology and randomized experiments that treat voters as unwitting guinea pigs, the smartest campaigns now believe they know who you will vote for even before you do. Issenberg tracks these fascinating techniques—which include cutting edge persuasion experiments, innovative ways to mobilize voters, heavily researched electioneering methods—and shows how our most important figures, such as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, are putting them to use with surprising skill and alacrity.
Provocative, clear-eyed and energetically reported, The Victory Lab offers iconoclastic insights into political marketing, human decision-making, and the increasing power of analytics.
"Turns out there's plenty of actual science in political science, and this new book from Issenberg (The Sushi Economy) shows how it's being deployed with increasing sophistication in nearly every significant election. Also the basis for an aptly titled e-book, Rick Perry and His Eggheads, this bipartisan examination of behavioral science and high-level campaign strategy takes the Moneyball approach to the clashes between polling strategists' quantitative methodologies of get-out-the vote and the gut-level instincts of old campaigners. Issenberg's early history of political data collection and data-crunching, from the 1920s to the mid 1960s, is particularly deft. There are closely drawn portraits of generally unknown number crunchers and hidden strategies, including the behavioral insights of Todd Rogers, whose Analyst Institute gave rise to a sophisticated persuasion and get-out-the-vote infrastructure for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, and the approach of Dave Carney, whose explorations of Republican voter behavior guided races from George H.W. Bush's 1992 loss to Rick Perry's successful Texas gubernatorial race. Issenberg's thorough analysis of the transformation of the smoke-filled campaign backroom to a data-rich network would delight a budding political statistician. However, only the most hard-core political junkies will find book-length resonance in discussions of research methods and software development for political ends.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) to Evaluate Surgical Risk on Patients on Beta Blockers
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Beta blockers have been shown to decrease the risk of intraoperative cardiac events in patients at high cardiac risk. However, they have also been associated with side effects (for instance, stroke.) The role of beta blockers in patients at intermediate cardiac risk undergoing surgery is controversial. Heart rate variability is a way of evaluating the cardiac function of a patient. Decreased heart rate variability is associated with early cardiac death in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and after a heart attack. It has been shown to transiently decrease in patients in hemorrhagic shock after trauma and returns to normal after resuscitation in trauma and burn patients. The investigators hypothesize that beta blockers will maintain pre operative heart rate variability in patients with intermediate risk of cardiac events during operative intervention with laparoscopic surgery.

Vatican spokesman explains Holy See's role at UN
Catholic World News - October 11, 2011
In his weekly editorial, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi defended the Holy See's role at the UN.
"Sometimes we wonder why a religious authority like the Holy See takes part in the activities of a world assembly such as the United Nations General Assembly, often a theater of fierce political debate," Father Lombardi began. To answer the question, he referred to three speeches given at the UN.
Blessed John Paul II "insisted on the fact that the United Nations must be a place where nations recognize one another as members of a 'family,' inspired by mutual solidarity and by a concern for the common good of all humanity." Then Pope Benedict XVI "developed the concept of the 'responsibility to protect' as a concrete expression of concern for the weakest members of society."
Finally, Archbishop Dominique Mamberti--the Vatican's foreign minister--recently discussed the relation between ethics and economics in an address to the UN. Father Lombardi commented:
"The family is a community founded on interdependence, on mutual trust, on reciprocal aid, and on sincere respect," concluded the archbishop. It is in the interest of every human person to remember this, so that it might become a living reality in the world. It is for this reason above all that the Holy See is in New York.

Afghan MP's television station pulled off the air
New York, July 29, 2010—The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on the Afghan government to allow privately owned Emroaz TV back on the air, after its owner said it was shut down under pressure from Iran. According to local and international media reports, the station went dark on Tuesday almost immediately after the station's owner, Member of Parliament Najib Kabuli, protested on-air the government's order to shut the station down. In his address, Kabuli said the Ministry of Information had made a "one-sided decision" under Iran's influence to silence Emroaz.

text: We begin with a fundamental approach to quantum mechanics based on the unitary representations of the group of diffeomorphisms of physical space (and correspondingly, self-adjoint representations of a local current algebra). From these, various classes of quantum configuration spaces arise naturally. One obtains in addition the usual exchange statistics for spatial dimension d >2, induced by representations of the symmetric group, while for d = 2, the approach led to an early prediction of intermediate or âÂÂanyonicâ statistics induced by unitary representations of the braid group. After reviewing these ideas, which are based on joint work with R. Menikoff and D. H. Sharp at Los Alamos National Laboratory, we shall discuss briefly some analogous possibilities for infinite-dimensional configuration spaces, including anyonic statistics for extended objects in 3-dimensional space.
