PORT HAWKESBURY, N.S. - A Cape Breton fisherman was convicted Saturday of manslaughter for killing a man he said drove him into a fury after cutting his lobster traps, threatening to burn his home and years of taunting.
Joseph James Landry, 67, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death last year of Philip Boudreau.
A jury found him not guilty on that charge but convicted him of manslaughter after a day of deliberations at the Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Port Hawkesbury.
Crown prosecutor Shane Russell said outside court that Boudreau's family was disappointed the jury didn't convict Landry of the more serious offence.
"They heard a lot of gruesome details about what the Crown presented," Russell said. "To find a verdict of not guilty on second degree murder ... obviously they're upset."
Margaret Rose Boudreau, the victim's sister, declined comment as she left the court.
Earlier this week, the jury viewed a sworn, videotaped statement Landry gave police where he said he intended "to get rid of" Boudreau. Asked by an RCMP investigator what he meant by that, Landry replied, "Kill him or whatever."
Defence lawyer Luke Craggs said the Crown failed to prove Landry intended to kill Boudreau, calling the verdict a victory for his client.
"We can infer from the verdict that the jury said that though maybe he said he wanted to kill him, the actual physical action that caused the death of Philip Boudreau wasn't an intentional act by James Landry," he said.
Landry's wife wiped her eyes crying after the verdict. Landry showed no visible reaction as he heard the jury's decision and was remanded into custody with a sentencing hearing set for Jan. 29.
The 43-year-old Boudreau's body hasn't been found.
Crown attorney Steve Drake told the jury his death was the result of a sustained attack by a three-man lobster fishing crew that included Landry — one of four people charged in the case.
During the trial, Drake said the Twin Maggies rammed Boudreau's boat three times at the mouth of Petit de Grat harbour on June 1, 2013. Prosecutors also said Landry fired four shots from a rifle, one of which hit Boudreau in the leg.
Drake told the court that Boudreau's boat overturned after it was rammed the third time and he was then hooked with a fishing gaff and dragged out to sea before he was tied to an anchor.
Boudreau was last seen by his brother near the Petit de Grat wharf that same day just before 6 a.m.
Boudreau took his red and white speedboat out on the water and it was found overturned without its motor by a local fisherman about one hour later.
Videotaped interviews played during his trial showed Landry initially tell police he shot and rammed Boudreau's boat after the victim cut his lobster traps and threatened to set his house on fire.
At first, Landry maintained his innocence but later changed his story, saying he fired a rifle at Boudreau four times and intended to kill him, adding he took the wheel of the Twin Maggies and ran over his boat.
"I wanted to destroy him,'' says Landry, who accused Boudreau of taunting him for years. "I was seeing black. I was so mad."
He told police he later told the crew of the Twin Maggies he had made a mistake.
"I regret it," he tells an RCMP investigator. "I told you the truth. It's all over now.''
The defence told the jury to discount the videotape, saying Landry was trying to take the blame for what happened to protect others on the Twin Maggies after police told him younger crew members still had their lives ahead of them.
Craig Landry, a deckhand on the Twin Maggies, testified that he did not watch as the Twin Maggies ran over Boudreau's boat three times, though he heard three thuds.
He said Boudreau pleaded for Joseph James Landry to stop firing at him, yelling, "Stop, James! Stop!"
Craig Landry, who is Joseph James Landry's third cousin, was previously charged with second-degree murder but that was withdrawn. He now faces a charge of accessory after the fact.
The captain of the Twin Maggies, Dwayne Matthew Samson of D'Escousse, also faces a second-degree murder charge. His wife Carla Samson, who owns the lobster boat, faces a charge of accessory after the fact. She is also the daughter of Joseph James Landry.
Those three accused have yet to stand trial.

Hastert wants victim's suit over unpaid hush money tossed
An attorney for Dennis Hastert has asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought by one of the former U.S. House speaker's sexual abuse victims who is seeking $1.8 million in outstanding hush-money payments from the imprisoned Illinois Republican, though the court didn't immediately rule on the request at a Monday hearing.

A few years ago I went to a local "family owned" beauty salon. I asked for a medium cut with layers. I ended up with a very short cut (lots of layers, but none longer than 2 inches) and a tail in the back. For years I didn't get my hair cut and when I finally did I went to Best Cuts. I've been going there for years, but just recently started going to the one in Parma. I've been satisfied each time I went there even though I always get someone different. They do exactly what I need and they never complain if I choose something "out of a book" like some salons do. Their price is good too. If you sign up for their online haircut reminder service, you get an online coupon which you can just print out and bring with you. The last time I went in, I got a haircut and styling gel that was on clearance and walked out paying less than $20.00! Great price and great quality. The only thing I have to say that could be a bit negative is that when you go there, be prepared to wait. Sure, this is a bit annoying, but trust me, they spend a lot of time with you making sure they perfect your hair, and they never rush just because they are busy. And the fact that they are so busy says a lot for their business. People wait just to get their haircut, even though there are many other places nearby and inside the mall. This says a lot for their quality. I trust them :)

Unfortunately I'm not able to reply to ungrateful review that was written by user named "dirtyredtruk". My kinds words of advice. Please do not leave negative reviews simply because of a "language barrier". I understand that at the time you were frustrated in regards to a undelivered meal due to miscommunication. In my experience -I've never had an issue with their delivery. For all the world may know, one could make the stereotypical assumption that "dirtyredtruk" is just a southerner with an English dialect that's more difficult to understand over the phone. Either way, please be more calm and collective with an understanding mind that we're all here trying to make a living. Being a 7-year loyal customer to one restaurant baffles me on the fact that during those years, not once did you bother to create a username and write a review of appreciation these folks at Spring Garden for the food they prepared on your behalf. Yet, the moment that one mistake is made, without hesitation is a poor review of incompetence is written. Shame on you, honestly - be more mature and reasonable. To the fine folks at Spring Garden - may you your business grow with diligence and your lives be filled with prosperity.
Our family loves China Jade! Great Food! We always have our favorites! Chicken Teriyaki, General Tsao's, Sweet & Sour Chicken and Chicken Chop Suey! Fried Rice is awesome! Gold Fingers & Pots Stickers are awesome as well! Let us not forget the flavorful EGG ROLLS! YUM! It has the typical 70's Chinese Restaurant feel but clean! Great Staff and Great for Call Ahead ordering! They will even customize your food for you if you don't like certain vegetables or sauces and switch it up for you! We have been going there for almost 10 years! Not a bad meal ever. I just recommend you plan not eating all your food as you get a lot and it is filling. Great the next day as well! Fresh Ingredients, all made with huge pieces of meat! The chicken is awesome!!!! I just wish that they had crab ragoons that were filled like envelopes instead of the flowerets because the filling is good only they need more of it. So a change up of that is all I would like to see change. GREAT FOR THE FAMILY!!!!

Product Description:
Originally released on Volt (6018).
The Dramatics had been around in one form or another for nine years before the members got to release their first LP, and the result was a pair of breakthrough hits over the spring and summer of 1971, beginning with the title track, a Top Ten single that boasted not only extraordinary singing from bass to falsetto, but a soaring, punchy horn arrangement and some of the best fuzztone guitar heard on a hit record since the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction." The Afro-Cuban-flavored "Get up and Get Down" followed it into the R&B Top 20, and the Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get album followed them both. It was the third hit off of the album, "In the Rain," a delicate ballad that was issued separately as a single in early 1972, topping the R&B charts and reaching number five on the pop charts, that solidified the group's reputation and elevated them to the front rank of '70s soul acts. The album showcased the group equally well doing up-tempo dance numbers ("Mary Don't Cha Wanna") and ballads ("Thank You for Your Love," "Fall in Love, Lady Love"), melding very attractive vocals to arrangements that instantly grabbed the listener, all of it pulled together by songwriter/producer Tony Hester. Even the lesser material, such as "Gimme Some (Good Soul Music)" -- on which Hester knew that one minute and 34 seconds was all that was needed to make its point -- were so attractive and rousing that they easily carried their portion of the album, whose short running time was its only flaw. All of the members, from Willie Ford's powerful bass to Ron Banks' airy falsetto, were presented to best advantage, but none more so than William "Wee Gee" Howard's lead vocals; ironically, this would be Howard's only completed album with the group, and their only album for two years to come because of the accompanying personnel problems. Still, it's a match for any soul album of its era. In 2002, ZYX Records of Germany issued a new CD edition of Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get with its original cover art re-created and remastered in 24-bit digital audio, which is so crisp that it has to be heard to be believed. ~ Bruce Eder

Holistic Skin Care and Modern Technology
Anti-aging is a concept that we hear in reference to skin rejuvenation and growing older on a daily basis. Aging begins as soon as we are born; therefore "pro-aging" is embracing all stages of life gracefully, with vitality, wisdom, joy, and gratitude as the goal.
Streamline Your Front Desk
Your front office can be your greatest source of efficiency or it can be a constant bottleneck. Increasing the productivity of this area, while not sacrificing the quality of patient interaction, can be a little tricky. However, with some focused effort and intention, your front desk can keep your practice running smoothly.
Hip Flexor Contractures & LBP in Above-the-Knee Amputations
Patients with above-the-knee amputations (AK or AKA) are particularly prone to developing hip flexor contractures. Not to be confused with muscle tightness, contractures are a permanent shortening of tissues which cause deformity or distortion.
Keeping Malpractice Allegations at Bay
It has been suggested that in the litigious environment in which we live, the practice of chiropractic should be defensive and practitioners should constantly be watching their backs. An element of defensive practice is a good idea.

My last article discussed perception and its relationship to the primary channels. Before we get to the channels most commonly used to treat sensory disturbances, the small intestine and triple heater, we should first talk about the bladder channel.

With Low-Back Pain, Sometimes Little Things Matter
Typical treatments for low back pain involve large muscles like the quadratus lumborum, iliopsoas, and piriformis. However, there are situations when a very small muscle, the multifidus, can play a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment of low back muscular or spinal injury.

My latest effort to share chiropractic occurred in mid-May while I was sitting at an introductory parent information night for high schoolers. The IT instructor informed us that each student would be receiving a computer for all their studies.

Billing One-on-One, Direct Patient Contact
This is often misunderstood and leads to trepidation when documenting and subsequently billing timed services.
Romantic Love
Sleepless nights, anxiety, mood swings, euphoric energy bursts, obsessive thinking, and a strange feeling in his chest. That is what Matt was experiencing when he first entered my practice. Rather than being concerned, he was loving every minute of it.
Adrenal Problems
One of the most common trends to see in clinical medical practice and public health is the cycles of health "buzzwords." These come and go depending upon the current cultural zeitgeist. One year, "parasites" are causing all the issues, and the next year it's "candida."
The Need for Standards
ISO-TC-249: You may look at these letters and numbers and wonder what they are and what they might mean. They turn into: International Standards Organization- Technical Committee – 249. There is a global organization called The International Organization for Standardization.
Discovery: Finding Insights and Each Other in Different Disciplines
Recently I've been thinking about all sorts of things which are hidden from our daily direct experience. That general category is what links nearly everything that catches my attention and then demands some kind of investigation.
Transforming Las Vegas
On a warm spring day in Las Vegas, Sonia Kim, clinic front desk staff, is busy preparing for a full day of intern shifts at Wongu Health Center. She greets patients, makes sure documents are properly signed, and lets the interns know that their patients have arrived.
Building Bridges with Discipline
As practitioners of traditional Chinese herbal medicine, our role is to educate patients and medical practitioners about the various safety aspects of our medicine. Medical doctors that embrace Chinese medicine want to collaborate and include Chinese herbal medicine in more aspects of clinical care to support their patients.
Distal Style Treatment of Neurogenic Pain
Treat locally or distally? This question has frequented my thoughts for the treatment of pain throughout my acupuncture career. Each style has strengths and weaknesses, thus the versatile practitioner would do well to forgo dogmatic adherence to any one style in deference to the needs of the individual patient.
Prostate Cancer Risk
A large study published in January 2016 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that men who are vegans had a 35% lower risk of developing prostate cancer compared to non-vegan men. The study followed more than 26,346 men who are part of the Adventists Health Study-2.

Insurance Terminology Continued...
By Vivian Madison-Mahoney, LMT
Author's note: I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have responded to my articles this year. It has been motivating and wonderful to know that I have been able to help so many find answers to their insurance billing and reimbursement questions, situations and dilemmas.And to hear of your successes and new beginnings always excites me, to the point that it makes me feel as though I was just beginning my own business all over again. I wish to extend to each of you my wishes for a safe, healthy, rewarding and happy holiday season! In the last issue, we only covered insurance terminology from A - I, so it now seems appropriate to complete terminology discussion, taking you from I - W.
1. Interim Report: Report to an insurance company (or attorney upon request) to update a patient's condition. (Send copy to physician.)
2. Judge of Compensation Claims (JCC): A workers' compensation judge is appointed by the governor per each district, to oversee and rule on workers' compensation cases, filed on behalf of injured employees. (Each state may have different rules regarding this; check your local workers' comp. or dept. of labor division.)
3. Legal Suit: A lawsuit whereby the plaintiff's attorney files suit or charges against the defendant on behalf of his/her injured client, the plaintiff, to recover damages and/or to continue medical payments to providers. (The defense attorney defends the insurer, or the entity being sued.)
4. Letter of Referral: This is the same as an MD's prescription, but comes from a chiropractor or other non-MD referral. Sometimes letter of referral refers to a physician referring a patient to another specialist for an evaluation or a second opinion.
5. Letter Carrier: The most wonderful aspect of this business! The financial rewards of your work, and determination come through the door with your letter carrier. We have had the best of them! Our mail carriers have stated numerous times that they love delivering mail to our office, stating that it is the most enjoyable segment of their routes. (You have to make the business of insurance fun or it's not worth it!)
6. Major Medical: Health insurance, sometimes referred to as catastrophic coverage for hospital and/or medical care. Also sometimes referred to as private insurance. Deductibles; limits; percentages of copay; health/prescription; dental/vision; and other forms of coverage vary depending on the specific insurance company. Some states have mandated insurers to include certain conditions and certain limits for coverage.
7. Managed Care Arrangements/Organizations: Arrangements made between insurance companies and employers that must meet state regulations. These arrangements are made for the purpose of closely monitoring costs of health care providers' treatment of specific disorders, and requiring pre-certification prior to hospital admission, surgeries and requires referrals to other specialists, from within the arrangements by the gatekeeper or case manager. This arrangement has been a cause for concern throughout our nation, as many consider this form of health care managed money, not managed care. In the last few years (with much complaining from physicians, patients and the news media), managed care organizations have seemingly become more conditioned to the wants and needs of those they serve.
8. Massage Therapy: Manipulation of soft tissue by kneading, friction, effleurage, petrissage, or tapotement of the soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and connective tissue, for increasing circulation; reducing toxins from the lymphatic system; providing oxygen and nutrients to damaged or weakened muscle areas; and reducing spasms that cause pain and discomfort. Therapy may be aided by hydrotherapy, thermal therapy, use of electrical or mechanical devices, or the application of chemical or herbal preparations. Note: This may not be the exact definition for each state. As always, check your state's laws, rules and regulations.
9. Massage Therapist: A licensed massage therapist is a person trained and licensed by the state to perform massage therapy services for compensation. In many states, more now than ever, a massage therapist must be licensed. "Licensed Massage Therapist" is a title preferred and even legalized in some states, while other massage professionals use different titles. The title of "Bodyworker" is used in many places as well. Criteria for licensure or certification varies from state to state. The National Certification Board For Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) has now certified many therapists on a national level.
10. Medicare A & B: A federal health insurance plan set up through the Social Security system, primarily for the elderly, blind and certain disabled people. Medicare comes in two parts: Part A, Hospitalization; and Part B, Major Medical.
11. Medicare Supplemental Plan: An insurance plan that covers the Medicare patient's deductible and co-payment obligations. These policies are often referred to as "Medi-gap." Medicare supplement programs frequently are not available for a disabled person who qualifies for Medicare but is under the age of 65; programs also are usually not available for the average person.
12. Medicaid: A federally aided, state-operated program of health care assistance, provided primarily for the elderly, indigent, disabled, blind, or families with dependent children. The Department of Social and Welfare Services is the one to turn to for any assistance here. Also known as the Medical Assistance Program.
13. Medically Necessary: Diagnosis and procedures, commonly accepted to be necessary for the proper treatment of the stated diagnosis. All insurance cases must be medically necessary, or the insurance company does not have to pay for the services. (Contact me for a complete report of most insurers' definition of Medically Necessary).
14. Med Pay: Additional coverage available under some clients' Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policies, to cover the additional 20% of the medical and/or other bills or for the amount over and above the basic PIP coverage. (Check with your auto insurance agent for a complete definition of this).
15. Modalities: Mechanical devices or methods used to assist in the treatment during the procedure. Some examples are: hot or cold packs; infrared; paraffin baths; or electric vibration methods/percussion.
16. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): A method used by physicians to evaluate the patient's problem or condition in a more detailed manner (non-radiation imaging). Used primarily to determine soft tissue injury.
17. New Patient: A patient making a visit to your office for the first time. The visit necessitates the creation of the patient chart and ledger card, unless the patient has not received treatment in the last three years from either the original physician or a member of the same specialty in the same group practice.
18. No Fault: In states carrying this type of insurance, automobile insurance covers the medical expenses for you or your passengers in an accident, no matter who is at fault. Same as Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance.
19. Nonphysician Services: Services performed for or on the patient by someone other than the physician. Examples: massage, physical, speech or occupational therapists.
20. Nonparticipating Physician: A physician or provider who has not agreed to accept the insurance company's pre-determined, allowed rate as payment in full for covered services performed, and therefore, expects to be paid the full amount for for the services provided.
21. Nonparticipating Provider: A health care provider who has not signed a participating provider contract with an insurance company, and bills the patient for the difference between the amounts charged and the insurance company's predetermined allowed fee.
22. On-The-Job Injury: Injury sustained by employee while working. Most often covered by a state workers' compensation system.
23. Participating Physician/Provider: A physician who has entered into a contract with an organization, the government, or an insurance company to provide medical care to enrolled subscribers. In the contract, it is agreed that the physician will accept the insurance company's approved fee for each medical service and will bill the subscriber for only the deductible, subscriber co-payments, and any other uncovered services as stated in the subscriber's policy.
24. Permanent Total Disability: A legal term referring to an injured employee's, diminished capacity to return to work to the previously held job, or to the work force in general. Many who are at this level qualify for Social Security Disability. In the Florida Workers' Compensation System, this means that the individual cannot sustain a minimum of four hours of uninterrupted employment. (Social Security disability compensation cannot be applied for or obtained until the disabled person has been unemployed for two consecutive years). Young people who have never worked and who are classified as permanently disabled must also be disabled for two consecutive years before they are eligible for Social Security disability payments. Payments are most often paid retroactively.
25. PIP (Personal Injury Protection): Automobile insurance to protect you in the event of an accident, regardless of fault. Many states say that you must carry this insurance protection, in the event you cause injury to another party. PIP coverage will usually cover 80% of medical bills. Many policyholders are opting for the $2,000 deductible. Watch out for this, or you will be the one not being paid or waiting for payment if the deductible has not been met by the time the patient is referred to you for services.
26. Point-of-Service Plan: A Blue Cross/Blue Shield managed care nationwide group plan that combines the best features of traditional insurance, preferred provider organizations, and HMO plans. Point-of-service plans provide coverage for a full range of inpatient and outpatient services.
27. PPO (Preferred Provider Organization): An open-ended, non-HMO-affiliated plan that provides more patient management than is available under regular medical insurance plans. PPOs contract to provide medical care to patients for a reduced rate. A company, employer, union or other health protection group signs a contract with health care providers of goods and services. These providers contract for discounted rates and are paid as such by the carriers.
28. Prescription: A prescription or referral letter must come from a MD or chiropractor for the purpose of treating a diagnosed disease, illness or injury. Only a physician can determine if the case is a medically necessary case, and insurance companies most often do not reimburse for non- medically-determined cases.
Note: Those of you who are involved in legislative issues may want to see the text of a law passed recently here in Florida. The law states, in essence, that insurance companies will reimburse Florida LMTs with a doctor's prescription, "If the policy covers the services of a massage therapist and, if the prescription indicates the number of visits and the duration of treatment, and if prescribed by certain designated physicians."
29. Primary Carrier: The insurance company with primary responsibility for paying the majority of claim after the deductible has been met. Example: In an auto accident case, the auto insurance carrier is the primary carrier. This must be utilized before the patient's major medical policy can be billed. With Medicare recipients, Medicare is usually the primary carrier. However, if the person on Medicare is employed by an employer with over 50 employees and is insured under the employer's group plan, the primary would be the group policy. Medicare is usually, but not always, the primary, and the medi-gap or other supplemental coverage is most always the secondary payer. Neither of the above reimburse LMTs, except in certain specific circumstances.
30. Procedures: The hands-on therapy or treatment performed. Massage therapy and manual therapy techniques are examples of procedures.
31. Procedural Code: A statistical code system designed to communicate procedural data to insurance companies or other third-party payers. CPT™ coding systems are published by the American Medical Association, such as code 97140: Manual Therapy Techniques.
32. Prognosis: The patient's expected progress or condition during/after therapy. A massage therapist is not qualified to give a prognosis. If, and when this is requested of you, have the requesting party refer the question to the attending physician for his/her report.
33. Progress Report: A detailed report or narrative filed to report any significant change in the patient's medical status. Progress reports are used to relate to the insurance company, attorney, and or the physician the patient's condition and treatment; it also serves as a daily communicative progress notes in regard to the patient's treatment for that visit. It is not in the scope of massage therapist licensure to report patient disability or return-to-work status.
34. Provider: A physician or any recognized practitioner providing skilled services, pursuant to the prescription, supervision or direction of a physician.
35. Referring Physician: The physician who refers the patient to another facility, physician, or health care provider for consultation or treatment.
36. Secondary Carrier: The insurance company or carrier that pays the remaining 20%, and sometimes the deductible. The secondary carrier may also continue coverage when other policy benefits are exhausted. See the explanation of Primary Carrier above.
37. SOAP Charting Format: A medical charting system, in which: S = Subjective (what the patient says, or subjective impressions). O = Objective (what the provider's findings are, or clinical data). A = Assessment (the and diagnosis, or what the patient's condition is). P = Plan for treatment, (further studies and suggested treatment). Note: Not noted in the usual SOAP format, but nonetheless important, is Functional Outcome: What the patient can do (or expect to do) because of the treatment rendered.
38. State Compensation Board: An administrative agency set up by each state's legislature to oversee workers' compensation claims.
39. Subrogation: The assumption of an obligation for which another party is primarily liable.
40. Subscriber: The insured (the policyholder), sometimes also referred to as the member.
41. Super-Bill: A pre-printed encounter form that lists all types of services and procedures, along with the corresponding codes. This may be sent to some insurance companies as a bill in place of the HCFA 1500 forms. However, many carriers and workers' compensation carriers do not accept this form, and only accept the universal HCFA 1500 Forms.
42. Temporary Disability: A workers' compensation designation that describes the inability of a worker to perform usual duties for a limited time, with the expectation of return to work after a short leave for recovery.
43. Third Party: Someone with no direct legal or binding interest in a case.
44. Third-Party Payment: Payment made from an insurance company on behalf of a claim.
45. UCR Charges: Usual, Reasonable, and Customary charges. The amount the insurance company will allow or approve for a given procedure are calculated as usual, customary and reasonable charges. This is based on the usual and customary charges for like services in a designated geographical region where the service is provided. UCR fees are set by utilizing the Medicare Fee Schedule.
Note: RBRVS also comes into play here, but that's for a later discussion.
46. Underwriter: The insurance company or government agency that sets all policy benefits and establishes all procedural rules for determination of the payment of benefits.
47. Uninsured Motorist Protection: Optional coverage in an auto policy that protects you, your family and your passengers in the event of bodily injury, sustained in an accident for which an unidentified or under insured driver is legally responsible.
48. Vocational Rehabilitation: Training in new job skills to enable a person receiving workers' compensation or disability funds to become gainfully employed. Also applies to anyone else needing rehabilitation for a particular injury or illness.
49. Workers' Compensation: A system operating under varying laws in each state. Workers' comp. pays workers for medical care expenses and lost wages with regard to work-related accidents or illnesses.

Merritt Healthcare Closes Boston Endoscopy Transaction in Wellesley Hills
BEC selected AmSurg as a partner and the transaction was approved by the Massachusetts Department of Health in November. Dr. Myron Falchuk of Boston Endoscopy comments, "We began our quest to find a corporate partner for our endoscopy center about one year ago. The complexity of the effort required to come to a decision left us wondering how we would come to a successful conclusion. Merritt and the Searles brothers came to our attention and their help was key for us. They were instrumental in focusing our vision, bringing multiple potential partners for our review, and showing us who the optimal partner was based on many variables that included longevity, strength in the field, and pricing. AmSurg did stand out as the right one for our Center and we were able to successfully conclude our process."
Merritt Healthcare maintains an active advisory service guiding ASCs, endoscopy center and hospitals in the sale and acquisitions of healthcare facilities.

This review is from: Eroticism (Paperback)
I am astounded that Bataille isn't more well known. This book is incredible.
and i am surprised and disheartened that the insights on taboo & transgression are not more well read modes of thought. for me, Bataille should be read along and among nietzsche, schopenhauer, sartre, hesse. he is of equal importance.
the scope of this book is far beyond eroticism, giving insight to the origins of ecstasy, mysticism, religion, sacrifice. it is a summation of human experience, from the birth of concious thought giving rise to work/project - and project needing restraints of our animalistic desires, the taboo. and born with taboos are the transgressions of these taboos... i am a lousy explainer
read this book,
to compliment this, i strongly recommend inner experience by bataille too.

Explosion in Bangkok: Protestors injured - tourism remains normal
Tourism and demonstrations in Bangkok had been kept very separate. While tourists from all over the world enjoy the lively Thai city and continue to do their sightseeing, dine in restaurants and enjoy the famous nightlife, a short distance away from normality, an explosive device was thrown in to a truck driven by anti-government protestors.
Most likely this was a sensational act to cause widespread fear and aggravation.
Certainly it was a development that raises tensions in the country's political crisis and the specter of more bloodshed to come.
The protest movement's own Bluesky television channel said the number of wounded could be as many as 28.
Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban was in the procession but was not wounded when the explosive device was thrown into a truck driven by demonstrators that was several dozen meters (yards) ahead, spokesman Akanat Promphan said. The city's emergency services center put the number of injured at 31.
Police said the grenade was thrown from a nearby building.

This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity.

Why would someone even do that? Does it help reduce recoil or something?
#33 - iizpurple (03/14/2016) [-]
kind of, in theory it reduces recoil and makes the gun mechanically simpler. The gasses from the round push the bullet, then get channelled into a lower gas tube which push the barrel assembly forward, which then ejects the round and recocks the striker.. however after a few magazines this gets too gunked up and makes the gun an absolute nightmare to clean.
#41 - anon (03/14/2016) [-]
geez whats more important? a gun that can reduce the recoil slightly but has a huge chance of jamming,or a gun thats reliable and and is less of a pain to clean.guess they didn't make that many designs of them anyway.

I didn't realize how dumb that sounds
There's a possibility that a baby is born with XXY chromozomes
Some of those babies have both male and female genitals (or rather, something that's not male nor female)
Though I'm not a doctor, so i don't know how exactly it works. Does biologyexplains still lurk here?
#7 - thediamondhack (03/12/2016) [-]
there is only 2 genders. baby with XXY chromosomes isnt a new gender.
#20 - yunoavailable (03/12/2016) [-]
As anon said, xxy doesn't fit in either male or female and it is something so it is a new gender. If you want to go with gender and sex being seperate then I guess it's not really a third gender but rather a third sex but the point still stands. Point is it's no longer just made up tumblr bullshit when it is a biological fact
#12 - anon (03/12/2016) [-]
Technically speaking they would not fit the definition of either
Therefore they are neither
But something

Yeah I'm getting tired of all this political and SJW shit on FJ, but I'm getting sick of it more so in real life.
"A man has a penis, a woman has a vagina" is now offensive, apparently.
#8 - anon (03/12/2016) [-]
It kind of is. Its actually really difficult to be transgender. Eventually you have to make the choice between horrible dysphoria and depression, actually transititioning and having everyone think you're a freak, or just killing yourself. I've personally spent years trying to act like the sex I am for everyone else's sake, but it disgusts me. Its not possible to just live with it and get over it if it's something you've gone through your whole life, sadly. (This is not including people who believe they're some nonexistant gender, or lie to their doctors so they can transition even if they don't have dysphoria then change their mind later. Its just kids trying to look special.)
Under these circumstances, its just cruel to say that to someone.
#11 - anon (03/12/2016) [-]
Seems kinda weird for you to mutter something about people with their "made-up gender" when the first thing you do is say yours isn't. I really don't wanna be That guy but this is pretty much a Christian telling a Muslim he's wrong and people shouldn't respect Muslims beliefs but should respect theirs. It's kinda cross.
#13 - anon (03/12/2016) [-]

Hamilton businesses on both sides of the Waikato River lost their internet connection after a fibre cable was severed in Hamilton East.
The outage has been attributed to workers carrying out excavation work on the Hamilton Ring Road project.
Ultrafast Fibre Ltd operations general manager William Hamilton said staff were working to restore internet access to all users by late afternoon.
''Some Hamilton residents and businesses experienced an internet outage at approximately 10.30am this morning.
This was a result of a road working contractor accidentally cutting through one of the main Ultrafast Fibre (UFF) cables on the corner of Ruakura and Peachgrove Roads,'' Mr Hamilton said.
''The road works are part of the major road network upgrades currently taking in place in Hamilton. UFF are working to restore internet access to those affected and this should be completed by 4pm today.''
Wintec communications director Erin Andersen said their city and Rotokauri campuses were affected by the outage.
The outage had affected staff and students' emails, the staff intranet, printing facilities and their student database.
Their phone system was also affected.
Ms Anderson said all classes had gone ahead as scheduled and student enrolments were still being taken.
''It's a traditionally quiet time of year for us,'' she said.
All services were restored by 3.45pm.
Waikato Regional Council's BUSIT and Waikato Civil Defence websites also were also affected by the outage but were back online early this afternoon.
Hamilton Central Business Association general manager Sandy Turner said she had not heard of any businesses losing their Eftpos facilities.
''I've been out and about quite a bit today so if there was a widespread problem like that I'm sure I would have heard people talking about it,'' she said.

Freddy Garcia being demoted to Yankees bullpen (Yahoo! Sports)
NEW YORK (AP) Struggling Yankees starter Freddy Garcia says he's going to the bullpen.
Garcia was shifted to a relief role Sunday, a day after he gave up six runs to the Detroit Tigers in 1 2-3 innings. The outing boosted his ERA to 12.51.
Manager Joe Girardi said rookie David Phelps is a likely candidate to make a start if a move was made. Phelps said he hasn't yet been told anything. Andy Pettitte will make a start for Class A Tampa and may need one or two more starts before he is ready join the rotation.
To help the taxed bullpen, the Yankees called up right-hander D.J. Mitchell from Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes/Barre and optioned Cody Eppley to their top minor league club. Eppley and Phelps each pitched three innings Saturday.
