Backing New York State is a losing proposition. Bettors could make a fortune by putting their ducats against whatever the state does, as there's no surer wager than banking on the state's population continuing to dwindle. If you think present tax rates attract businesses, you'll be joining those already here in destitution soon.
As an example of why the gaming table is tilted, the state is graciously giving you rights they have been keeping from you. They might actually let adults have fun, and the low stakes indicate just how closely life is regulated for remaining patrons at this faded oasis. Politicians who have put New York in an impossibly deep hole feel entitled to dictate just how people waste their cash:
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is eyeing western New York-most likely Niagara Falls-as part of his plan to allow a limited number of non-Indian, Las Vegas-style casinos in the state.
The Buffalo News reported Sunday that the governor will soon propose a full-fledged, privately operated casino in Niagara Falls. A Cuomo administration official confirmed Sunday that the administration will recommend a western New York casino, but only if the state Gaming Commission finds a decade-old compact with the Seneca Nation of Indians to be invalid.
You can open the type of business in question if the government ever gets around to approving it. Even if they lightened up, they'd still have too much control:
In his budget proposal last month, Cuomo proposed permitting three casinos upstate-defined as north of Putnam and Rockland counties-and allowing the new Gaming Commission to recommend specific locations. Cuomo would expand that number to four if the potential Niagara Falls casino is given the green light by the commission.
The pit boss's arcane rules make the hall intolerably stuffy and definitely lacking in enjoyment. Someone who arbitrarily picks betting sites like he's throwing darts at a state map also negotiates with tribes like it's centuries ago:
The Seneca Nation was granted exclusive rights in 2002 to operate three casinos west of Route 14, which runs south from Wayne County to the Pennsylvania border. The state and the Senecas have been locked in a dispute over the contract for the past several years, with the nation withholding more than $450 million in payments to the state in escrow in the meantime. The issue is currently in arbitration.
The Senecas and state argue over who gets what according to the lines they drew. If you're not a member of one of the two groups, you may feel left out. You may also be noticing that this place is being micromanaged into oblivion to everyone's irritation:
If Cuomo's casino plan is to move forward, state lawmakers will have to again pass an amendment to the state's constitution, which would allow New York to regulate up to seven casinos statewide. After that, the public would have to approve it at the ballot box before taking effect.
We can't wait until the government gives us permission to vote to waste our money as we please. Any dopes who want to bet should be free to do so without being treated in the same criminal class as eight-round magazine owners or wedding photographers who back traditional marriage. If you want to bet on the spins of a roulette wheel in someone's garage, it's your capital to fritter. Besides, such a venue would have less overhead than some joint on the boardwalk or Fremont Street with a fancy chandelier.
As it stands, the champions of tolerance only authorize slot machine ownership for members of a certain race. And while it's nice of them to get around to attracting cash to the state by perhaps allowing more, it may surprise the government class that approving casinos not a matter of developing the economy. Betting on anything should be a private transaction, and, as with every other activity, financial development is the byproduct of mutual trade. The trick is that success doesn't come when Albany attempts to engineer it.
People might very well think it's stupid to rely on a deal of cards to profit. But they should also mind their own business. Humans are free to choose the diversions of their choice, as they almost always burn through money, anyway.
Plus, a small percentage of players can beat the system: unlike with, say, spending one's entertainment budget at a tavern, you have a chance to win back your money at a craps table. Some choose to not gamble on having fun at a Chippewa Street hoochie house, and that probably makes them more knowledgeable about odds than singles bar patrons.
The necessity of a constitutional amendment to permit casinos shows how stifling this state is to anyone trying to have a little fun. For once, Cuomo should let us live it up instead of seeing us as means for providing the capital with as much revenue as can be squeezed. Or they can just keep peddling lottery tickets. Albany knows all about bad bets.
Non-cooking television chef Sandra Lee's common-law mister and second-generation governor Andrew Cuomo thinks New York is becoming the progressive capital of the nation. The problem is that he meant it as a good thing.
This state will never, ever stop spending more annually, and the question is whether we're even going to bother to care that the real morality police are the ones imposing leftist values as quickly as they vacuum earned money. Cuomo wants to roger America the way he has the state, which makes now a good moment to point out that accomplishments aren't necessarily achievements.
Most recently, prominently, and egregiously, Cuomo the Younger has proclaimed that guns are the villains, not villains. Blaming an indifferent object proves advantageous to felons, which is to say those who actually harm others and not those virtuous armed citizens who are now breaking the law by virtue of keeping medium-sized magazines in gun safes.
Such perverse conditions are to be expected from an executive who thinks people admire the passion involved in raising one's voice about not needing 10 bullets to kill a deer. Sure, arbitrary criminalization won't make us safer, but it least he made a mockery of the lawmaking process. Votes must be conducted faster: those gun nuts almost had time to read the bill.
Cuomo's ability to turn a eulogy into a lecture is particularly shameless considering the number of inconvenient children murdered daily. But there isn't enough purity for his ghastly taste. The governor sending out feelers to see if he can get away with making it legal to hunt viable children within a womb would be horrifying under any conditions; it takes someone shameless enough to have exploited Newtown to favor a demented vision of societal betterment through abortion at will.
Cuomo was clearly too busy with law school to have someone explain anatomy to him, which is also why he decided anyone could marry anyone else in his domain. The mushy invocations by gay marriage advocates about the love felt by gay couples assume the unavailability of intramural marriage constituted a denial of mutual feelings between any pair of individuals.
People have a full range of civil rights and ability to sign contracts even if they can't marry someone who can share the same gym locker. It wasn't Cuomo's right to unilaterally redefine a ceremony which has served mankind since we started writing down things, but tradition and dictionaries weren't going to stop him any more than the Bill of Rights kept him from making an eight-round capacity illegal.
While he's stomping through Albany, voters should be aware that Cuomo has already failed in Washington. As Bill Clinton's Housing and Urban Development secretary, he didn't help urban development or housing. By cunningly encouraging loans to people who couldn't afford to pay them back, he stealthily caused as much damage to the mortgage market as anyone with the possible exception of the similarly cuddly Barney Frank.
It's a testament to Cuomo's utter lack of charisma that his national-level pernicious behavior remains obscure. His best hope for advancement is to remain personally forgettable.
His impulse to impose doesn't rise to fascism unless one actually knows what the word means. Some say there's no need for name calling. On the other hand, Benito Junior is unsuitable for the presidency. Of course, he's unsuitable for the job he has, but his calculating nature and willingness to exploit the misguided belief that utopia lies in liberal policy goals have enabled him claw ahead.
With his baffling advances in mind, Cuomo next seeks to make America more like New York, as everyone should aspire to be as miserable as we are. The nation can hope Andrew will dither like daddy until time makes the decision to not run for him. But the son is more cunning, not to mention drunk on the spinal fluid of compliant legislators.
If he's already scheming to run for president, he'd be the first opportunist looking to impose a screwed-up vision of paradise since the incumbent. The rest of the country should be aware of how deep the rot is in the Empire State's foundation. But the termites are feasting everywhere: Barack Obama's communal economics and human nature-defying social beliefs are what Cuomo thinks of as a good start.
His potential for promotion would say more about the country than him, although there's not much nice to say about the latter. At least he's breaking the stereotype that Italians are stuck choosing between making pizzas and joining the mob, although the family's attempt to create the new stereotype of decency-chomping governors isn't an improvement.
Mark Poloncarz doesn't have anything to do like carry out the duties of a county executive, so he may as well be useless at a ceremony rewarding a national executive for failure. Surprisingly, Barack Obama's most embarrassing fan boy isn't a barista or windmill builder: he also holds elected office and coincidentally shares the same daft goals. The lower leader's fiefdom may be small, so he strives to ensure it's doubly screwed.
Clowns can't miss the circus, which explains why Poloncarz piled into a vehicle and headed away from where he's supposed to work. The head of Erie County's government somehow scored a seat to the inauguration of a leader with an identical taste for woeful policies, only on a broader scale.
The only consolation on Inauguration Day was getting to chuckle at the mortifying Twitter feed of a rabid Obamanaut in attendance. Even he admits the coolness has chilled:
The place to be tonight is DC. Not the same excitement as 4 years ago but it is definitely hoping in anticipation for tomorrow's inaugural.
The Bills didn't make the playoffs, but that last home game was fun, right? Unlike with Erie County's finances, he's efficient at telling stories. Poloncarz managed to brag about a spot adjacent to the embodiment of pointless liberal overreach while whining about the most emblematic First World Problem in just two sentences:
Sitting next to Lilly Ledbetter in very nice seats. No real service.
Name-dropping someone obscure outside progressive circles is nothing compared to the most ingenuous description possible of Obama's dangerously naïve and wholly unworkable beliefs:
Wonderful speech from our president touching on many issues, including climate change, equal rights for all and gun control #2013inaugural
Did the county executive drive or fly to Washington? Unless he took a scooter, a greenhouse gas-emitting engine got him there. Some of us care about our carbon footprint enough to have stayed home for the inauguration. But Poloncarz doesn't care about Mother Gaia enough to watch from home with ordinary people.
Ignoring his own contribution to what he perceives as changing the climate is only part of how he flaunted his extraordinary gullibility. Calling for equal rights is banal if you mean it and dangerous if you actually seek to extend special privileges to certain preferred segments of society.
Fiddling with the definition of marriage is apparently the great civil rights struggle of our time. In this era, equality means we all have the same chance to be poor.
The one group against which both speaker and listener want to discriminate are law-abiding firearms owners. Gun control is a chance to blame evil on implements while extending even more control over non-felons.
Even fans noted the speech was notably partisan, and everyone outside of the true believers' bubble recognized Obama's antagonistically petty tone. You don't want to be trapped in that atmosphere. With the president swerving even more to the left, note an example of fascinatingly unpalatable tongue-wagging unsuitable for a One Direction concert:
Photo of President Obama giving his inaugural address from my seats. A strong adddress on his hope for our future. pic.twitter.com/K3Nqj7aq
As in Erie County, America runs well under progressive policies as long as they're only discussed. Unfortunately for the snotty theorists, they fail spectacularly once they're in action. But pointing out countless policy failures won't dissuade Poloncarz; after all, he was important enough to warrant a prominent inaugural seat. The answer to why he deserved the honor is as obvious as examples of how Obama has decreased the debt.
The top executive and one who's two levels lower both embrace rhetoric suitable for a liberal college freshman majoring in political science. Even then, such respective blather and worship would be unbecoming for stridently earnest undergrads who can't buy beer. A 45-year-old regional manager should start acting with dignity and cutting payroll instead of adulating the CEO.
At least get excited about someone good. Instead, Poloncarz wastes acclaim on a president who flaunted even more tiresome ideas that have already been constantly shown to not work, particularly over his previous term.
Getting excited about trying them for twice is long would be like calling for the Sabres to re-acquire the listlessly frail Tim Connolly. We're sorry you bought his jersey, but concede it's obsolete, already.
The obliviously pitiful praising by the Poloncarz zombie can't distract from how he should be doing his job in Erie County. On second thought, he should stay in the nation's capital for as long as he'd like. As with Obama and his jurisdiction, Poloncarz does the most for the area when he's doing the least. Hopefully, both will putz around through their terms instead of trying to enact any more of their noxious hopes.
New York State is where those who obey laws are treated like criminals. Letting the virtuous fire back against the wicked might be messy and create liability issues. Instead, it's easier to treat the good guys like they misbehaved for the crime of firing 10 rounds at the range without a magazine change. Decent citizens are easier to arrest.
Il Duce Andrew Cuomo could stand to be less smugly sanctimonious about taking away rights in a manner both onerously tyrannical and astoundingly petty. He hasn't once answered how hassling people who behave will make us safer. But New York's new gun crimes will make liberals feel like they've done something, which is always what's most important.
Toying with gun control enthusiasts would be fun if their intentions weren't so disturbing. Ask them to define the inherently inflammatory term "assault weapon" without letting them copy and paste the same Googled answer they always use. And try to suppress giggles when they use "clips" as a synonym for "magazines;" don't correct them, as it's an easy way to spot who's ignorant.
Further, try to get them to understand that one must pull the trigger every time one wants to fire a semiautomatic firearm. They'll reply that murderers use military-style assault weapons all the time, which gives you an excuse to give up and go for a cocktail instead of attempting to explain why "gun-free zones" enable more mass murderers than the availability of commonly-owned firearms that look scary to people who know precisely nothing about them.
Treat yourself to another stiff drink when you realize how the Empire State has found a way to be even more invasive to those who exercise Second Amendment rights. For one, a private transaction of daring to sell a rifle on your own now needs a background check; if you wanted to avoid being viewed as a felon, you shouldn't have armed yourself.
Similarly egregious is banning magazines that hold more than seven rounds as if the holder was killing people. The restriction is a pain in the ass at the range and a pain in the hopes to keep living for those defending homes against intruders. Meanwhile, villains will acquire or make the magazines they need in cunning disregard of the law.
You don't have time to worry about whether seven shots is enough to stop a drugged-out invader or pair of burglars: you have magazines to ditch. People who have never had parking tickets may have to sell their private property to lucky gun owners in less restrictive states. Criminals are undoubtedly worried about possessing items prohibited by statute and will cancel scheduled robberies as a result.
The good and bad news is that Kid Cuomo's dark dreams were not completely fulfilled. His fascist lust to repossess your firearms as represented by his frighteningly doltish admission that "confiscation could be an option" explains why gun owners are rightfully paranoid.
The only reason he didn't try to break down your door to get your gun safe is his desperation to make cultural cake authority Sandra Lee America's unmarried First Lady. But he's welcome to try to come and take it if he thinks tracking down and taking guns from Americans who haven't committed crimes makes for good presidential campaign optics.
Of course, any reasonable nation would have already disqualified Cuomo from consideration for feeding one's fish while on vacation, much less the presidency, so we'll see if America still retains any remnants of that. His side thinks the best response to an atrocity is capriciously making people who aren't bothering anyone into law-breakers.
Nothing makes us safer like a knee-jerk reaction to evil, especially when it's signed into law faster than a kidney gets transplanted. It was surely hasty oversight which effectively made some rifles unusable, right?
More of what hasn't worked is bound to start working. Just like the next state tax hike will push New York over the top into affluence, this next batch of firearms limitations is going to be the one to put muggers out of business. That's at least what budding assailants want you to believe.
As New York's politicians continually prove, you don't need principles or results when you have votes. Blaming guns for crime is like claiming alcoholism is caused by shot glasses, and that's not going to stop this state's ruling goons from continuing to demonize those who like to hunt or be in fair gunfights started by nefarious parties.
It's not like our governor to be completely wrong about something. Cuomo will do for safety what he did for affordable housing as HUD secretary. And the state's economy will improve right after he gets around to helping Sandy victims. The hurricane was caused by the internal combustion engine, anyway, just like it will be someone else's fault when crime actually increases after the law's ominous effects are felt. Get ready for him to vilify the NRA even if just to stay in practice.
Mini Mario's allies will humbly keep referring to themselves as courageous, a curious adjective for those criminalizing the innocent. And there's nothing brave about letting the actions of lone human demons define us.
The most frightening response to atrocity is believing that evil is a mechanical act that can be legislated away. Cuomo and company keep forgetting to condemn the murderers. Such reckless people clearly don't want to establish a standard of personal responsibility.
Dang, we shouldn't have let the ice melt. Still, it's finally the most joyous time of year: hockey's back, and just a few months late. Your fix was delayed by owners trying to keep some of their group from making the rest look bad.
The previous salary limits apparently weren't limiting enough, which is why the new pact reduces the cap next year and the revenue percentage players receive. It's not like the other side earns it: those who play don't do anything but put the hockey in the National Hockey League.
But at least Buffalo teams have been aided by salary caps, like when Chris Drury and Danny Briere left the Sabres on the same day for New York City and Philadelphia, respectively. As for the squad that only plays on frozen ground, the big-market Buffalo Bills have missed the playoffs 13 straight times while little guys like the New York Giants won two more Super Bowls in the same time frame. Um. Good luck to those who argue that results would have been worse for Western New York's teams without a price ceiling.
Limiting free negotiation of salaries is like the stimulus: it works as long as you're only talking about it. When it fails to control normal human behavior in practice, it's just because there must be even more rules. Just like another trillion in taxes and/or debt will spur prosperity, another restriction on how much one can be rewarded for putting pucks into a net or preventing same act is totally going to keep costs reasonable and the losers from whining.
There's a particular little-city hockey proprietor who deep down wishes he was permitted to out-frack other franchises. Energy baron and Sabres owner Terry Pegula can't spend more on talent thanks to the cap, as being allowed to do so would show why dedicated ownership trumps an area's population as the key factor in a team's destiny.
Buying vast amounts of production is somehow to be discouraged. At the same time, excessively lavish contracts are their own punishment: try trading a slob making seven figures more per season than he's worth if you'd like to learn why money can't fix everything. Instead, the cap lets teams like the Rangers attract stars for less than they'd pay on the open market, so thank the labor deal for slashing New York's payroll. Either way, the present system does not tolerate attempts to thoroughly reward success while pursuing a championship.
The local rag won't help: now that hockey's back, expect more unintentionally amusing Buffalo News screeds pushing the notion that the cap has been magical. Talk about a lack of depth: Bucky Gleason and Bob DiCesare spend most of the day trying to untangle their Velcro shoes, Jerry Sullivan is Grumpy Cat without the charm, Mike Harrington wonders why he's ranked so low without ever thinking it's his work, the annoying nature of John Vogl's output is mitigated by how forgettable it is, Tim Graham is only ever correct by coincidence, and Amy Moritz is a feminist disguised as a lousy reporter. Other than that, it's a talented roster.
Even if they personally agreed with hockey's labor restrictions, one would think they'd want to challenge the owners and league as journalists. But that would presume they're good at their jobs, so forget it. Buffalo News staffers are opposed to rewarding talent for personal reasons.
It never occurs to capping fans to make the small market big. They don't even seem to conceive it's possible that Buffalo could grow, in part because it would mean challenging their inherently faulty economic assumptions. But there's no reason for the City of Hockey to keep shrinking. Reversing the decline just requires electing coaches at the city, county, and state levels who let us play.
Even now, it's baffling to set a league of uninspiring teams as a goal. Salary cap proponents have a tough time explaining why parity is good without resorting to a juvenile sense that it's not fair if someone else gets two of something if you only have one. Imposed mediocrity is what competition is all about, right?
Or perhaps weighing down the strong is not a good standard for a hockey team or city. Fans put up with a tremendous amount to enjoy sports, from public money for billionaire owners to cheering for Tim Connolly. We can presently only hope owners someday learn to limit salaries by not handing out ridiculous ones, not to mention how getting one's hands on the Stanley Cup is worth the price.
Hockey will remain the best thing ever despite Gary Bettman's attempts to turn frozen gold into warm mud. The lame lockout and deal offer a reminder that nothing is perfect, at least until the puck drops.
If you've ever seen a Bills game, chances are they lost: they're 56 games under .500.
This was the Bills' 53rd season. They've had winning records in 21 of them.
Twenty-two of 32 teams have made the playoffs over the last four seasons, in case the Bills missing 13 straight times didn't seem ridiculous enough.
The Bills' present playoff drought has lasted for nearly one-quarter of the team's existence.
The last playoff appearance for the Bills was one week after Y2K. At least one predicted disaster came true.
The last playoff win for the Bills came on December 30, 1995 during Bill Clinton's first term. There have been 5 presidential elections since then.
Three good quarterbacks. Three good coaches. 53 seasons.
Back-to-back AFL championships; O.J.; back-to-back playoffs in 80/81; Super Bowl appearances; OK in late '90s. That's it for the Bills.
Thank heavens for the salary cap and revenue sharing; otherwise, small-market teams like the Bills might miss the playoffs 13 straight times.
The Bills suck. And it costs you. The $95 million of public money to fix a private team's stadium in the new lease deal will help the area just like this squad helps the game of football. The Bills get millions from the government to fund losing football, but at least it actually hurts the economy to help their billionaire owner.
Through handouts, the Bills have found a way to remain profitable without winning. Good for them, unless you're a fan, taxpayer, or both.
We'll never recoup the investment. Sinking millions of seized assets into a hole of a stadium will pay off about the same time the stimulus lowers unemployment. Like Bills fans, Keynesians wait forever for nothing.
Spenders of others' money get their way by assuring us the next redistributive batch will be the one that finally provokes prosperity. They are certain that regular-level earners will never get ahead unless they have money taken from them to subsidize millionaire players and billionaire owners. People who can't catch a ball for a living will totally come out ahead once they pay high taxes. We can't let people keep more of what they earn and buy football tickets if they wish.
It's not as if we lack evidence that government spending on a sports team doesn't help anyone but the skinflint owner. The endless welfare for the Bills has helped the economy about as much as Chan Gailey has provoked playoff hopes.
There has been exactly zero improvement in Western New York's financial outlook from the corporate handouts in question, unless one ignores the money taken to allegedly improve stadium-adjacent restaurant business seven days per year. Sadly, our leaders do just that, and enough voters agree that funding another parade will make us rich.
There's little hope of breaking the abusively dysfunctional relationship where the Bills announce they won't leave as long as we give them our PIN. Through the new lease sentence, money is simply getting redistributed instead of being given the chance to grow through being spent and invested how those who made it want. If this team is so popular, they don't need tax receipts.
Patronizing meddlers can keep assuring us that the state will come out ahead after the Bills get a fresh EBT card. The same people said this was the year the team was destined to return to the postseason. They have every bit of evidence in the world except results.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The Richmond County Board of Education approved a new deputy superintendent and changes in the budget on Wednesday.
Academy of Richmond County Principal Tim Spivey is now deputy superintendent.
"I'm excited about the opportunity, but I'm a little apprehensive also," Spivey said.
Dr. James Whitson is retiring after being in charge while Dr. Frank Roberson recovered from brain surgery last year.
The Board of Education also decided to cut public safety officer positions and approved nine furlough days.

Most people feel a loss of control when faced with a new diagnosis of cancer. You can meet with doctors, develop a plan, perhaps do surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, targeted molecular therapy, immunotherapy, or some combination of these. But beyond showing up and taking recommended interventions, how much does a positive attitude help?
While it's comforting to think that you can control much of your outcome and some argue that a positive attitude makes all of the difference, cancer experts are largely humbled by how little control we have over the outcome, even with the many potentially effective tools we have at our disposal. Patients need a positive attitude in order to pursue the treatments that can be very effective rather than just giving up, but the truth is that a positive attitude can't overcome a very aggressive cancer biology.
It would be nice to live in a world where a positive attitude makes all of the difference in overcoming a nasty cancer, but to be honest, that's a make-believe world of rainbows and unicorns.
Along with a patient's age, sex, and past and current medical issues, performance status (PS) is one of the most important factors that is categorized for patients. It essentially refers to a patient's ability to manage his or her activities of daily living — things like bathing, dressing, feeding yourself, etc., as well as general activity level and ability to do whatever work they need to do.
There are two leading scales for measuring PS. The most frequently used one, known as the Zubrod or ECOG scale, simply goes from 0 to 4, with 0 representing no symptoms or limitations, and 4 representing being bedridden and completely unable to care for yourself.
The alternative is called the Karnofsky PS scale, describing the range of activity from fully functional (100%) down to 10%, bedridden; obviously, this is essentially the same range, but with finer grading, as if you could assign half points on the Zubrod scale. Here's the description of the levels on the Karnofky scale:
Though this scale suggests that there is a clear number for everyone, it is more fair to acknowledge that PS is somewhat in the eye of the beholder. Certainly, one person's 70% Karnofsky PS may be 60% to someone else, and this may depend on how well a person happens to be doing on a given day at a given hour. This may be part of why the Zubrod PS scale is more widely used: it doesn't put too fine a point on a subjective measure.
I live in the state of Washington, which now has legalized marijuana. Even before then, it wasn't especially hard for motivated people to get. Like many other physicians, a socially liberal lot overall, I have been fine with it and haven't considered it in the same league as other (previously, and state-dependent) street drugs. It can help fight nausea and pain, and responsible people just may want to use it without needing to give an explanation.
I have no real issue with marijuana, but I sure have a lot of patients who read about or are told by family and friends about how effective cannabis oil or other forms of marijuana may be as anti-cancer therapy. Here, it fits the pattern of MANY other complementary and alternative medicines, ranging from low dose naltrexone to dichroloacetate (DCA):
When patients are found to have a cancer that is at an earlier stage that may be able to be cured with a "local therapy" such as surgery or radiation, we know that these cancers can recur months or years later, .This is presumably because of micrometastatic deposits traveling n the bloodstream, which cause distant recurrences, or in the region of the primary tumor, causing regional recurrences.
For many cancers, there is also a proven value in giving additional therapy to address the possibility of any invisible disease beyond what was seen on scans and by the surgeon. This is often systemic therapy such as chemotherapy or targeted therapy, and it may also include radiation given along with or instead of systemic therapy.
When given before the potentially curative local therapy, this is called neoadjuvant (or sometimes pre-operative or induction) therapy. .When given following the local therapy, it is called adjuvant therapy, coming from the meaning of the word adjuvant as "helper". While there are certain advantages to a neoadjuvant approach, giving the additional treatment later has a couple of its own key advantages.
Cancer treatment is in the midst of a transformation in real time. Genomic testing of a tumor– looking for a wide range of dozens to potentially hundreds of markers at a time — is moving quickly from bleeding edge to mass adoption, at least in the US. This change is partly driven by ever-changing data and ever-changing clinical experience, partly driven by the general promise felt by patients and clinicians alike that new information will lead to vast improvements in our understanding and therapeutic options, and (lest we be naïve) partly driven by marketing from institutions and diagnostics companies who stand to gain by promoting this work.
That there are potential gains is undeniable – regardless of what the future may bring, even today it is a tangible gain to avoid missing the immediately actionable findings such as an EGFR mutation (for someone with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), for instance), but it can find many less common but clearly "actionable" mutations ranging from HER-2/neu to BRAF or a few others that are now mentioned in the guidelines developed by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) that typically lead to insurer coverage of the treatments recognized as effective for these rare mutations, which range from <1% to 3-4% of the lung cancer population.
But these tests are not going to offer only unmitigated positive opportunities. Aside from the cost of several thousand dollars per tumor profile performed, the results of these profiling tests most often reveal not a clearly actionable mutation, but one or more rare mutations that are accompanied by a synopsis of lab-based suggestions for unapproved and clinically untested options in that particular tumor type from the testing company. While a patient and their oncologist may say that they will ignore treatment options that are poorly studied and essentially just wildly speculative (there is a rather weak correlation between cancer treatments that work in the lab and those that are safe and clearly active in human cancer patients), that's easier said than done. Instead, the molecular results often lead oncologists to be tempted to practice the black art of using the profile as a "medical Ouija board" to cobble together a treatment plan with no good clinical evidence to support it, all too often bypassing the treatments that are well established as helping improve treatment options in thousands of cancer patients with that tumor type.

Ted Nugent understands he that likely wont have an official position in close friend Rick Perrys 2012 presidential campaign the Nuge himself admits hes far too outspoken of a right wing rabble-rouser to be productive for the Texas Governors cause but that sure as hell doesnt mean Nugent is avoiding politics in an important election year. Nor is he ignoring rock n roll.
In fact, Nugent is looking at new ways to combine the two.
The so-called Motor City Madman is already booking next years tour to be the most effective in its geographical impact and its statement in political terms, likely meaning hell be targeting key swing states when he hits the road in 2012. And while Nugent realizes he must hold back when stumping alongside Perry, he knows his stage is his chance to say exactly what he thinks.
That bully pulpit can also have a serious tone to it, Nugent explains. But on a rock n roll stage, I can tell Hillary Clinton to straddle my machine gun. The more something causes problems with people, the more Ill say it cause its rock n roll and you can eat me. But thats a rock n roll show. I know how to change the tone. If you can differentiate between what goes on on a rock n roll stage and a dialogue . . . then we can actually move forward.
See our review of Teds recent swing through UCRs home state of Ohio right here.
For first post of the Palin cult to brand Nugent a slime sucking lowdown RINO
I wear a "Nuge Java" cap with pride.
That's interesting. I like both of them.
The choice is clear: Gun control as forced by the Chuck Schumers of the world is complicit in every violent crime committed. Conversely, gun control a la Ted Nugent is putting the second shot through the same hole as the first shot, where innocent lives are saved and recidivistic maggots come to a screeching halt, felled by the lovely ballet of good over evil we call the Double Tap Center Mass Boogie. Learn it, know it, love it, shoot it. Good guys should live, bad guys not so much.
Ted Nugent
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.
Gene Simmons voted for obama. He's a liberaal. And Nugent didn't endorse perry. He's good friends with Sarah and Todd Palin too. Don't get so carried away.
He can knock the balls off a charging RINO at 50 paces
Anyone who would say that about Nugent is certifiable.
Obviously this means that Nugent is a RINO GOPProud hippie. /sarc
Nugent is just a slimesucking, lowdown, big government Rino!
Simmons' daughter has worn Obama T-shirts at least one two shows. Simmons does love the U.S. military, however. That said, Blackie Lawless of WASP voted for McCain against Obama. Charlie Daniels, too.
(Fixed my last post) Simmons daughter has worn Obama T-shirts in at least two shows.
Joe Perry of Aerosmith is a Pubbie too...
Huh, didn't know that about Blackie.
Ted Nugent to liberals-Kiss My ...
I read a list of celebs who voted for McCain (or against Obama). Not a musician but the actor who plays opposite Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men is a Pubbie, too.
Ted Nugent....RINO lover.
I always did like Blackie. His support of John McCain not so much.
Well Nuge will be stumping for him on his upcoming tour.
I don't want to make Palin fans' heads explode, but since you mentioned Perry, Palin and Nugent all in one post, here's a pic of Nugent and Palin at a PERRY rally:
Sarah likes Perry too.
Ted didn't eactly wear his "sunday-go-to-meetin" boots, did he?
Alice Cooper apparently also likes Perry!
He can knock the balls off a charging RINO at 50 paces
What balls...?
Waiting for Alice Cooper's endorsement. And Sammy Hagar.
Classic, that pic should be in its own thread. A big DUHHHHHHHHHHHHH moment for all the regular suspect,thread spamming PalinBots.
Piper Palin steals every pic she is in!
What balls?
The Nuge does like the Palins, but he seems to have firmly jumped on the Perry bandwagon.
He, like many of us with half a brain, knows that Palin either ain't running, or ain't gonna win if she does.
The hard rock and metal wings of rock and roll tend to be considerably more conservative, or at least libertarian, than other genres in my experience.
Country, of course, has always been largely conservative.
Gene's daughter is like a typical airhead liberal chick...but she might come around.
Gene himself is more libertarianish in nature but seems rather non-ideoligical, basically, he cares about Israel's place in the world, hence his support.
Gives me a reason to dust off my WASP CD's.
Not anymore.
That's why she's gonna endorse him.
Most important thing of all.
The Nuge plays a Gibson.
Most important thing of all.
The Nuge plays a Gibson.
Piper 2040!
Awesome! Got a link?
Great tune. Never a "hit" per se, but one of Ted's best.
I saw KISS about seven or eight years ago in concert. Simmons made a point of saluting the troops. Same show: Im pretty sure it was Paul Stanley who mentioned that his dad (like mine) fought in the Korean War, too.
"Well Nuge will be stumping for him on his upcoming tour."
Where did it say that? 'Cause it isn't in the article you posted.
But guess what, I don't care. Nugent is 100% and that's just the way it is. He is human, therefore fallible. LOL
Answer this: Why does Jeremiah Wright look whiter than Obama?
And his gtandma?
ruh roh...
She isn't running Einstein!

Is there any point in upgrading to latest version what has changed in 1.0.9?
Is there any point in upgrading to latest version what has changed in 1.0.9?
Can anybody tell me what issues have been addressed in the recent upgrades - I am still on 1.7 but my question has gone unanswered.
I realise this is a free product and support is likely to be non-existent but upgrading without really knowing what the benefits are, and possibly causing yourself a headache is not normally a good idea.
Please could somebody just give me some comment on this?
Just make a full backup of your site before updating. Or compare the versions:
I'm sorry you have not been answered, but forum volunteers and WP.ORG don't have control over whether a theme developer supports his/her theme. Please also see:
Yes I am aware that I can do this. But change for the sake of it is not a good idea. I don't have the time to test every aspect after a change and usually I just find out sometime later that the site has had its functionality impaired.
So I like to know if their is value for my scenario in the upgrade.
I am also aware that the people here are forum volunteers and WP.ORG staff and that they have no control over what goes on with a developer and his theme - its about pushing buttons - some dont work - some do. But that said I was not aware of the bumping rules, so thanks for the pointer.
Pinboard does have a changelog http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/pinboard/1.1.0/readme.txt - It's near the bottom.
Aha thanks for that Andrew I hadn't noticed this facility before!

It's a proper link in Chrome that does send a message to me when clicked but in other browsers my e-mail address on my pages appears as normal text that can not be clicked. How do I make my e-mail address clickable in all browsers? Thank you. Barney

Is your CAS server on the same machine/localhost, or remote? If remote, could it be that your browser is accessing the WSDL via a proxy-server? Can you access the CAS port directly without a proxy server?
2. Re: Trying to use the classes in casStubs.jar and get crawl metrics953426 Sep 3, 2012 9:17 AM (in response to Brett R-Oracle)Hey Brett,
I was trying to run the script in the AppConfig.xml from the same machine which is hosting the CAS server but encountered the connection problem. But practically, I would need to run the AppConfig.xml script from a remote machine in the same / different cluster to access the crawl metrics.
Yes, my browser was accessing the wsdl through a proxy server.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
3. Re: Trying to use the classes in casStubs.jar and get crawl metricsBrett R-Oracle Sep 4, 2012 4:06 AM (in response to 953426)Try explicitly setting the service endpoint before obtaining the port. So if you are connecting to localhost:8500:
You can substitute your host/port parameters. This call is normally made by the toolkit component-wrappers, but since you are using the service stubs directly, you will need to set the endpoint yourself. Without this, the stubs are using a test port which won't match yours.
4. Re: Trying to use the classes in casStubs.jar and get crawl metrics953426 Sep 4, 2012 10:13 PM (in response to Brett R-Oracle)Hey Brett,
Awesome, it works now. I went through the source code by de-compiling the class files and figured out why you referred to this extra line of code; great that it didn't miss your "laser eyes". It was really helpful.
Another question for you; a stupid one maybe -
I was also trying to call the web-services through the browser -
http://{cas-host}:{cas-port}/cas/listCrawls - this one works great; gives me the list of all the crawls
http://{cas-host}:{cas-port}/cas/getAllMetrics - this one work great too
But when I try to pass a parameter my service call fails with an exception
<faultstring>java.lang.ClassCastException@1b3bf979 while invoking public java.util.List com.endeca.itl.service.CasCrawlerImpl.getMetrics(com.endeca.itl.cas.api.CrawlId) throws com.endeca.itl.cas.api.CrawlNotFoundException with params {crawl-id}.</faultstring>
Note : {cas-host}, {cas-port} and {crawl-id} are placeholders for actual values.
Any idea where I am going wrong?

5. Re: Trying to use the classes in casStubs.jar and get crawl metricsBrett R-Oracle Sep 4, 2012 10:51 PM (in response to 953426)You can't properly invoke the SOAP web service with a browser and a GET request, although you appear to get away with it for services taking no parameters. Grab a SOAP client testing tool and use that to load the WSDL and invoke the service with POST with parameters:1 person found this helpful
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns="http://endeca.com/itl/cas/2010-07">
6. Re: Trying to use the classes in casStubs.jar and get crawl metrics953426 Sep 5, 2012 12:15 AM (in response to Brett R-Oracle)Makes sense! Will try soapUI for that. Our idea was to send some request from a monitoring tool through GET and do a health check of the crawls and record-stores. Let me know if you have any suggestions to make use of the web-services in CAS.
Also, I was trying to access the recordstore information (record count, etc. etc.) from AppConfig.xml but unfortunately I don't find any class file available in casStubs.jar. I think casStubs.jar provides code to perform same functions that we can do through cas.-cmd.sh from command line. Do you have any suggestion how to work with recordstores from the bean-shells in AppConfig.xml? Should I load the recordstore-cmd or recordstore api jar in the classpath and try the api available there?
Please let me know.
Thanks again for your guidance and help.

Come learn about natural resource management and climate change at the International Union for Conservation of Nature World Conservation Congress! On September 3 at 3:30pm, we'll be hosting a Pavilion event that's free and open to the public, titled "Incorporating Climate Adaptation into Agency-Level Planning in the Pacific Islands Region."
Sometimes called the "Olympics of Conservation," information about the World Conservation Congress, which is being held in the United States for the first time, can be found here.
The Hawai'i-Pacific Pavilion will host island nations, states, cities, and communities from across the region, featuring cultural, political, and scientific sessions, with an overall focus on community resilience in the face of climate change. Moderated by Pacific RISA PI Laura Brewington, the East-West Center is organizing this Pavilion event in collaboration with the Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources, the Pacific Islands Climate Science Center, the Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative, the University of Hawai'i Sea Grant program, and other regional partners along with IUCN members to present initiatives from resource management agencies that address how to best incorporate climate science into planning frameworks. The event is designed for natural resource managers, agencies, planners, and decision makers in the region and beyond who are interested in contributing to and learning from best practices for adaptation in the diverse and changing environments of the Pacific. We'll be focusing on top-down and bottom-up planning strategies for adaptation to climate change, using the Hawai'i Interagency Climate Adaptation Committee and the Aloha+ Challenge as forward-looking frameworks for multi-sectoral engagement.
Pacific island nations are among the most vulnerable to a changing climate as threatened natural resources, like water, are increasingly linked to social and economic development. Climate impacts on fragile freshwater resources, such as extended drier seasons and increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, are just some of the exacerbated risks the Pacific is facing, in addition to achieving its own aspirations toward sustainable livelihoods and development. In 2013 the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) through the regional office for Asia and the Pacific office released a report highlighting the gap between the Pacific and the East Asia region in comparison to the world in the provision of basic water and sanitation. The 2013 report underscores the need for Pacific island nations and leaders to prioritize efforts to improve water resources and their sustainable management.
Na makani paio lua o Kawaihae.
The two conflicting winds of Kawaihae: the mumuku wind from the uplands, and the naulu wind, which brings the rains to Kawaihae (Pukui 1983)
Puʿukohola, or Hill of the Humpbacked Whale, is a historic site on the Kona-Kohala coast overlooking Kawaihae Bay on the Big Island of Hawaiʿi. The park, which attracts over 270,000 visitors per year (Ben Saldua, pers. comm., 1/8/14), is made up of Puʿukohola Heiau (temple); smaller and older Mailekini Heiau, which was later converted into a fort; the ruins of submerged Hale-o-Kapuni Heiau, which was believed to be dedicated to the worship of sharks; the John Young Homestead; and the central courtyard or Pelekane. Because of its historical and cultural importance, Puʿukohola Heiau and the surrounding area was designated a National Historic Site in 1972, under the administration of the National Park Service (NPS). The heiau is considered a highly significant cultural site because it is the only structure in the archipelago that is directly linked to the unification of the Hawaiian Islands and the founding of the Hawaiian Kingdom under Kamehameha the Great in the early nineteenth century (Greene 1993; NPS 2004).
Pacific RISA Research Fellow Laura Brewington and Project Assistant Krista Jaspers recently attended the "Preserving Freshwater Resources and Minimizing the Impacts of Drought" workshop in Pago Pago, American Samoa. The workshop was held on July 17 and 18, 2014 at the Tauese P.F. Sunia Ocean Center, which houses the visitor's center for the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is conducting a series of activities to enhance scientific and technical capacity to support climate change adaptation in the Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDS). These activities include the development and delivery of new or enhanced products and services that focus on climate issues critical to the region and respond to unique user needs. Preserving freshwater resources and minimizing the impacts of drought has been identified as an issue of concern.

HONOLULU (May 6th, 2014) – Among major climate change concerns and challenges already being felt in Hawai'i and the U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Islands are damage to coral reefs, decreasing freshwater supplies, increasing temperatures and greater stresses on native marine and terrestrial ecosystems, according to the 3rd U.S. National Climate Assessment released by the White House today.
Several authors of the Hawai'i and Pacific Islands section of the national report discussed the regional concerns in a special briefing this morning at the East-West Center in Honolulu. (Watch video of the briefing.)

Pitch Based Wind Turbine Intelligent Speed Setpoint Adjustment Algorithms
AbstractThis work is aimed at optimizing the wind turbine rotor speed setpoint algorithm. Several intelligent adjustment strategies have been investigated in order to improve a reward function that takes into account the power captured from the wind and the turbine speed error. After different approaches including Reinforcement Learning, the best results were obtained using a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)-based wind turbine speed setpoint algorithm. A reward improvement of up to 10.67% has been achieved using PSO compared to a constant approach and 0.48% compared to a conventional approach. We conclude that the pitch angle is the most adequate input variable for the turbine speed setpoint algorithm compared to others such as rotor speed, or rotor angular acceleration.

Citibank Apparently Hasn't Heard About ATM Skimmers In Mexican Tourist Destination
Feel Like The Trip Home Is Quicker Than The Trip There? Science Says You're Not Alone
After reading the above headline, you're probably already saying to yourself, "Yessss I know exactly what that feeling is!" The "return trip effect" is one we've all likely experienced — it seems to take a long time to get somewhere — whether it's vacation, a visit to relatives or a business destination — and a much quicker time to arrive back home again, even though you traveled the same distance. Scientists are on the case to try and explain why we all feel this way.
Beach Town May Ban Renters From Using Vacation Homes' Pools
One of the first attractions people might look for in a summer vacation home is exactly the thing a resort town wants to take away: Citing noise concerns, a Delaware beach town is considering banning renters from using the backyard pools at homes while they're staying in the area.
Airbnb launched a new tool Thursday that aims to help owners of properties make the most money possible. Price Tips will create continuous suggestions for pricing based on metrics such as demand for rooms, local events and rental prices for hotels in the area. The company claims that owners who price their property within 5% of the suggested amount are four times as likley to attract a renter. [TechCrunch]

Travel Agency Spells Couple's Last Name Wrong On Plane Tickets––Twice
International air travel and typos don't mix. A California couple booked the tickets for their vacation in Cancun over the phone. If they had made the reservations online, at least they would have been the ones to blame for their last name being spelled incorrectly. The agency assured them that two transposed letters in their last name would be no problem. Aeromexico, the airline they'll be flying, disagrees. [More]
6 Things Your All-Inclusive Vacation Might Not Include
All-inclusive trips to resorts or on cruise ships can be a convenient and relaxing, since your major expenses are already taken care of. They can suddenly become a lot more stressful when you learn that the things that make a vacation fun––excursions, fancy beverages, memorable meals––aren't part of the package that you signed on for.

New Jersey Sues Tour Company That Stranded Travelers Overseas
There's one thing that's worse than having your vacation abruptly canceled out from under you because the tour company folded, and that's having it happen during your vacation, so you end up stranded far away from home. A New Jersey-based company did that to their customers back in October. Now the state has filed suit against the company under New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act, aiming to get customers their money back. [More]
4 Vacation Destinations We'd Rather Be Visiting Than Great-Uncle Jerrold's Doll Museum
For those of us still trapped firmly in the chilly, sloshy, sleet-filled embrace that is this miserable winter, vacation sounds like just an exotic dream. While you're painting your daydream pictures for the time when you can finally take off, there are some fast-growing tourism industries out there getting more popular with visitors.
Would You Buy Or Sell Your Vacation Days?
In many of my former workplaces, colleagues could donate their vacation, sick, and personal time to others in the office who were themselves ill or who had a serious illness in the family. It's a program filled of cooperation and kindness. What if you could have more flexibility in your time off, but in a more cravenly capitalist way? This is already the case in 14% of American workplaces, where employees can "buy" additional vacation time if they want it or sell unwanted time back to the company. [More]
Travel Company Closes Suddenly, Stranding Some Customers Mid-Trip
Talk about throwing a kink in your plans: A New Jersey travel company that had been operating for 47 years shut down without a warning this month, stranding customers with unfinished travel plans and in some cases, whisking their money away into the unknown. Just two days before the shutdown, the company was asking customers to pay in cash for a discount. Now, many are complaining that the company never paid for hotels, airlines or other accommodations.
Realtor Rents You Construction Zone Vacation Condo, Shrugs
Alex and his brother have been on vacation this week, renting a condo at the beach. Sounds fun and relaxing. Or it would be, if it weren't for the construction workers re-siding the condo building. They're tossing debris everywhere, including near cars, leaving tools and construction materials around off hours, and hammering at 8 A.M. It's making these vacationers cranky, and the real estate agency that rented them the condo said that they would contact the owners, but hasn't contacted them. The vacation is nearly over. What should they do?

Stowe, Vt. - The 70th Edition of the Stowe Derby will go down in history as one of the biggest and most celebrated Derby in years. Energy around the event had been building for months and with extra press coverage in the weeks leading to the big day, the famous race saw record registration rates for the big anniversary year. Even Mother Nature cooperated delivering comfortable temperatures in the mid 30s, balmy some might even say considering a most frigid Vermont winter this year.
Stowe, Vt. - Some of Stowe's international talent, including Elle Anderson and Dylan Conte will be part of the Stowe Derby's 70th edition. They are both coming home to race, and add some weight to the first edition of the Fat Derby.
For the 70th edition of the Stowe Derby an unprecedented class of competitor will be introduced. In addition to classic nordic skiing and skate ski categories a new fatbike class will be added for winter cycling competitors and enthusiasts.
The Mt. Mansfield Ski Club is proud to partner up with Mountain Bike Vermont to present the fatbike portion of the Stowe Derby. The race will include 100 fatbike riders competing in a parallel format to the traditional Derby race model. Once all ski competitors have completed the 4 mile descent down the Toll Road, cycling participants will follow suit, leaving from a non-lift accessed start gate situated on the upper trails of the Stowe Mountain Resort Touring Center. Departing from the shoulder of Mount Mansfield, competitors descend 650 vertical feet over the 14km of the remaining ski racecourse. Like the skiers before them, fatbike racers will navigate through Stowe's hillside terrain followed by a sprint down the scenic rec path before crossing the finish in front of the jeering fans in the center of Stowe Village.

Hi experts,
I can't seem to change the color of links (link, active, hover, or visited) for links I add to posts for the Press Row theme. I've tried adding mark up to the stylesheet and within the post itself. Other attributes work: "text-decoration: none" removes the text-decoration in the post, but "font-color: red", for example, doesn't. Any ideas?
Please let me know if I haven't described the problem in enough detail.
Thanks for any help!

More than just movies, Sunshine Cinema events respond to local challenges with appropriate film and workshop content. Our team facilitates practical making workshops, inspirational networking events or engaging dialogues that address today's most wicked barriers to sustainable development and community prosperity.
In partnership with MLT Drives, Sunshine Cinema is able to provide a steady supply of power regardless of the state of energy supply from the national power grid. This package gives event-organizers an efficient, solar-powered solution to popup cinema, ensuring that audiences remain blissfully unaware of power outages as your events continue, uninterrupted, as planned.
Historically the use of mobile cinemas on the African continent have been used as tools by Colonial governments to communicate their agendas. This problematic tradition is one that Sunshine Cinema seeks to address. Many African stories do not get shared with the local audiences that they are about. Yet such stories can offer the tools to build and inspire platforms of community exchange and innovation.
In light of this, as filmmakers, photographers, and designers, we are inspired by local innovators and change-makers. We aim to share their stories with a wider audience through a collaborative approach. With a keen interest in African innovation, Sunshine Cinema identifies local community change-makers and documents their stories of innovation, working together on producing the content, and the post screening facilitated workshops. Our approach is guided by human-centered anthropological research methods, to ensure that communities are active participants in the preparation and planning of such events.
In the future, we aim to build an online platform for local change-makers to share and access relevant content, through partnering with advancing media technologies, promoting an online database of stories of social change and innovation.
Sunshine Cinema,
71 Harrington Street,
Cape Town

Corporate Advocacy Program™
The first time I spoke to DaVinci Virtual they seem to offer what appeared to be a high standard of answering services for our business. I was promised that my credit card would not be charged until I provided information to them about our company.
Subsequently, I was shocked to see that one of the first efforts made by DaVinci Virtual the following day was to charge my card! When I called them and question them about it, they went into a long dissertation that they would have to investigate the recorded phone call to determine if they could issue me a credit.They also promised they would answer my calls from 8 AM to 8 PM but failed to tell me that it was Eastern Standard Time which has a two-hour difference and would have affected our decision to do business with DaVinci virtual.
Upon learning about the TimeZone discrepancy,I immediately asked them to refund my money as this was the turning point to discourage me from doing business with them. I then received another phone call from their customer service department, which continued to apologize and promise me that they would refund all my money as promised. I then received another call and this time they informed me that since it would take up to 10 days to refund my money, they decided instead to simply issue me two months credit. When I told them I did not want their offer and did not want to do business with them, they responded that they could not offer me a refund and was going to charge my card.
I would highly recommend that no one does business with this company, they promise you many things that they can't deliver, they have deceptive practices and smooth talk you into giving them your credit card number. Don't be fooled by the pretty pictures they send you of the girls they promote that will be answering your calls, this is one is a deceptive group!

AUTHOR: Coco Quillen - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, February 07, 2011POSTED: Monday, February 07, 2011
On 1/25/10, this client called in and purchased our services over the phone. We do read a disclosure with all our terms of service outlined and ask the client to verbally agree to our terms prior to sign up (which is legally binding). We also have this call recorded and shared with this client that he did in fact agree to our terms. The terms also discussed that should he choose to agree to them, the services and billing does start immediately. It was also clearly discussed that we answer calls 8am-8pm EST. The client did repeat and ask "8-8 EST?" and the sales rep confirmed again. We apologize if there was any confusion there. Our website also clearly lists our answering times as 8am-8pm EST (you can view this detail here: http://www.davincivirtual.com/receptionists/). The client agreed to the disclosure at 5:16pm. The client also received a copy of our terms of service in his order confirmation that was emailed.
Since then, the client had expressed that he did not want to move forward with services. Although our terms of service require 30 day notice to terminate, we did waive this for the client and we terminated the services immediately. We also refunded the monthly fee he originally paid even though according to our terms of service that the client agreed to the charge was valid. We did explain that depending on his bank, the credit could take a few days to show up on his statement, but we would issue the request immediately. We did issue this refund on 2/3/2011.
We have done everything we can to rectify this situation for the client. If the client has any further questions they are more than welcome to contact me at 877-693-2846.
Thank you,
Coco Quillen
