Catalyze Education and Industry in Existential Risk and Global Catastrophic Risk Reduction
There is no agenda for innovation more important for humanity to undertake than the identification and reduction of "existential risks" (human extinction risks). Following that are global catastrophic risks our civilization could survive. The effort to reduce existential and global catastrophic risks involves information technology (rogue artificial intelligence, infrastructure threats), biotechnology (bioweapons, virulent ...more »
Establish a Permanent Panel or Program to Address Global Catastrophic Risks, Including AGI
Currently there is no government panel or program to address global catastrophic risks including human extinction risks ("existential risks"), collect proactive solutions to prevent extinction-scale disasters or provide resilience in the face of less severe global catastrophes, and help coordinate (inter)governmental initiatives to reduce the likelihood and severity of extinction threats, including providing research ...more »
Explore proposals for sustaining the economy despite ubiquitous automation
The book, "The Lights in the Tunnel," addresses the issue of an ever increasing percentage of jobs being lost to automation. The basic thesis is that the trend toward lost jobs will only continue to accelerate and many of the "green collar" jobs will be one-time building and installation work; therefore, a fundamental change will be needed to sustain markets and consumerism so that we do not revert back to a feudal economy ...more »
Research the primary cause of degenerative diseases: aging / biological senescence
At present a sum of 457.2 billion dollars is devoted to U.S. health care. Much of that money is devoted to researching late-stage progressive diseases associated with biological senescence that comes with increases in chronological age. A small fraction of that money, say one million dollars over ten years, could be redirected to biotechnology / information technology companies advancing legitimate science and technology ...more »

Rodriguez leads ENMU over Tarleton St., 42-7 that conventional.
The Associated Press
PORTALES, N.M. (AP) - Bobby Rodriguez threw for one touchdown and ran for another to lead 11th-ranked Eastern New Mexico to a 42-7 victory Saturday over Tarleton State, but the game was not all that conventional.
The Greyhounds scored by recovering a punt-return fumble, by recovering a blocked punt in the end zone and by picking up a Tarleton lateral that hit the ground on the Tarleton 1 yard line.
The Greyhounds (7-0, 5-0 in the Lone Star Conference) remain tied for first place in the Lone Star's Southern Division with West Texas A&M, which defeated Texas A&M-Commerce 27-14 Saturday in Canyon. Rodriguez scored on a four-yard run and threw a two-yard TD pass to Josh Lynn - both in the second period. Otherwise, the Greyhounds had a bizarre night in the scoring column.
In other South Zone action: A&M-KINGSVILLE 48, MIDWESTERN 7:Two Texas A&M-Kingsville quarterbacks accounted for two touchdowns each as the Javelinas defeated Midwestern State. Kingsville (5-2, 4-1 Lone Star Conference) shut out Midwestern (2-5, 1-4) until the final minute. Javelinas' quarterback Terrance Bennett ran for touchdowns of 3 and 4 yards in the first half. Backup Wes Bautovich ran for a 6-yard touchdown and threw an 88-yard TD pass to Derrick Foster. ANGELO STATE 18, ACU 16: Angelo State stopped a two-point conversion in the final minute to preserve a win over Abilene Christian. Angelo State (3-3, 1-2 Lone Star Conference) was led by Eric Standley, who rushed 19 times for 114 yards, and Brandon Smith, who threw two touchdown passes. Smith was 16-of-32 for 189 yards and one interception. NORTH ZONE: Reggie Donner, who started his career at Texas A&M-Kingsville, rushed for 142 yards, including an 89-yard touchdown run, as Central Oklahoma rolled over Harding. Central Oklahoma (7-0, 5-0) trailed in the first quarter after Jeremy Thompson kicked a 34-yard field goal for Harding (3-4, 2-3). . . . Carlton Booe scored twice, once on the ground and once through the air, to lead Northeastern Oklahoma (5-1, 4-1) to a victory over Ouachita Baptist (2-5, 2-3).

Vera Repeats, Wins Majority Decision Over Sergio Mora
Illusions Theater, San Antonio, Texas - It was repeat for Bryan Vera (22-6, 12KOs), who won a twelve round majority decision over former champion Sergio Mora (23-3-2, 7KOs) to capture the vacant NABO middleweight title. The scores were 118-110, 117-111 for Vera and 114-114. Last February, Vera won a ten round split decision over Mora.
There were fireworks as Mora fought Vera's kind of fight by trading punches, fighting with his back against the ropes and allowing Vera to make it brawl. Vera landed the harder punches and pushed the majority of the action.
In the televised co-feature, Antonio Escalante (27-4, 19 KOs) stopped Leonilo Miranda (36-5, 25 KOs) in the second round of a featherweight bout.

Bill McKibben on Pres. Obama's Keystone XL Speech in Cushing, OK
March 22, 2012
Bill McKibben on Obama's Keystone XL Speech in Cushing, OK
Cushing, OK — Today President Obama will make a speech in Cushing, OK on his Administration's work to fast track the permitting of the southern leg of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline:
Bill McKibben, the founder of 350.org who has led protests against the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, issued the following statement:
"Barack Obama has done a little more than his predecessors about climate change. But nowhere near enough. And no movie producer, fifty years from now, will be able to resist a scene that explains the depth of our addiction to oil: the president coming to the state that just recorded the hottest summer in American history, in the very week that the nation has seen the weirdest heat wave in its history, and promising not to slow down climate change but instead to speed up the building of pipelines.
It's clear that the power of the oil industry drives political decision-making in America–that's why we need to go after them directly. The first step is an effort to remove the subsidies that they and the rest of the fossil fuel industry enjoy."
350.org is helping coordinate protests at Ohio State University this afternoon, where students will call on President Obama to stop Keystone XL, fracking, and other "extreme energy" projects. Last August, 1,253 people were arrested at the White House to push President Obama to stop Keystone XL. More than 12,000 people surrounded the White House last November to stop the pipeline, leading to an administration commitment to delay a permit for the project.

Treatments & Services
The Emory Structural Heart & Valve Center offers a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with severe aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the aortic valve opening that affects tens of thousands of people each year. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) has been performed at our institution since 2007 and to date approximately 1,500 patients have received this life-saving therapy at Emory.
During TAVR, Interventional Cardiologists and Cardiothoracic Surgeons work together to replace the aortic valve with catheters through small incisions either in the groin or chest. This technique is performed without opening the chest as in traditional open heart surgery. This minimally invasive approach allows patients to recover more quickly than open chest procedures, reduces the risk of surgical complications, and allows patients to go home sooner than the traditional surgery.
Initially used to treat patients deemed too high-risk for open heart surgery, TAVR has recently been shown to be highly effective in treating medium-risk patients. Emory is a nationally recognized academic center of excellence and offers a vast array of novel technologies and treatment options through FDA approved transcatheter therapies as well as clinical trials. Emory is now offering TAVR to patients of low surgical risk within the PARTNER III clinical trial. Enrollment into this randomized study is going on now!
To schedule a new patient TAVR evaluation call 404-778-7777.
Click here to get information more about Emory Structural Heart and Valve Center's TAVR program.
Many patients with degenerative valve disease are ineligible for surgery because of their high-risk status (e.g., advanced age, multiple comorbidities or end-stage disease). For these patients, balloon valvuloplasty may be a viable alternative to open-heart surgery to reduce symptoms of the disease.
In balloon valvuloplasty, a catheter (thin, flexible tube) with a small, deflated balloon attached to the tip is threaded through a blood vessel. Once the catheter reaches the damaged valve, the balloon is inflated to stretch the valve opening and allow more blood to flow through it. The balloon is then deflated and guided back out through the vessel and removed.
The patient is generally awake during this procedure, and the recovery time is considerably shorter than with traditional surgery. However, balloon valvuloplasty is not a permanent solution and often has to be repeated at a later date.
In mitral valve clip placement, a catheter (thin, flexible tube) is used to deliver a small clip into the heart via the femoral vein. Once in place, the clip is attached to the leaflets ("swinging doors") of the mitral valve to improve their function, and the catheter is removed. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, the recovery time is substantially shorter than with open-heart surgery, the traditional method for treating mitral valve leaks.
In the past, many people with holes in their hearts have faced a lifetime of anticoagulant therapy or even open-heart surgery in order to reduce their high risk of stroke. Emory now offers a minimally invasive option to close a variety of cardiac holes, including atrial and ventricular septal defects and patent foramen ovales.
During these procedures, a hollow catheter (thin, flexible tube) is threaded through a blood vessel and guided to the site of the defect. Once in place, it is used to deliver a collapsed mesh closure device and place it inside the defect. The device is then activated, expanding to block the congenital opening and hold the device in place, and the catheter is removed. Recovery time following such a placement is considerably shorter compared with traditional surgery.
The left atrial appendage (LAA) is a small pouch in the left atrium. Patients with atrial fibrillation (abnormal heart rhythm) have a high risk of blood clots forming in the LAA. These clots can dislodge from the LAA and block blood flow to crucial parts of the body, including the brain (stroke). Oral anticoagulation medications may be used to reduce the risk of clots, but these medications are not safe or appropriate in some patients. In such cases, LAA occlusion is a viable treatment option.
In LAA occlusion, a catheter (thin, flexible tube) is used to deliver an closure device to the left atrium. There, the device is inserted into the LAA and expanded like an umbrella to seal off the entrance to the pouch.
A coronary fistula is an abnormal connection between a coronary artery and a chamber of the heart or another vessel. Except for very small fistulae, they generally need to be repaired. Emory offers a minimally invasive procedure in which a catheter is advanced through a vein to the site of the fistula and a wire coil is placed to block the abnormal opening.
This procedure is used to open up a pulmonary vessel that may have narrowed for a variety of reasons. A stent is placed over a tiny deflated balloon and delivered to the narrowed portion of the vessel using a catheter (thin, flexible tube) fed through a vein. Once in place, the balloon is inflated, thereby expanding the stent and anchoring it in place. The balloon and catheter are then withdrawn.
Due to coronary anatomy, the left atrium is difficult to access for interventional treatment. Transseptal puncture is the technique of creating a small surgical passage through the atrial septum (wall between the right and left atrium) through which a catheter can be directly fed. The puncture hole generally heals on its own following the procedure.
Listen to Dr. Thourani, co-director of the Emory Structural Heart & Valve Center and a co-investigator for the PARTNER II Trial, discusses the biggest news item from American College of Cardiology Scientific Session 2016 — the Sapien 3 TAVR device performed better than surgical aortic valve replacement.

Several methods to investigate relative attribute impact in stated preference experiments
There is growing use of discrete choice experiments (DCEs) to investigate preferences for products and programs and for the attributes that make up such products and programs. However, a fundamental issue overlooked in the interpretation of many choice experiments is that attribute parameters estimated from DCE response data are confounded with the underlying subjective scale of the utilities, and strictly speaking cannot be interpreted as the relative "weight" or "impact" of the attributes, as is frequently done in the health economics literature. As such, relative attribute impact cannot be compared using attribute parameter size and significance. Instead, to investigate the relative impact of each attribute requires commensurable measurement units; that is, a common, comparable scale. We present and demonstrate empirically a menu of five methods that allow such comparisons: (1) partial log-likelihood analysis; (2) the marginal rate of substitution for non-linear models; (3) Hicksian welfare measures; (4) probability analysis; and (5) best-worst attribute scaling. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method and suggest circumstances in which each is appropriate.

This review is from: LG Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal 12X Blu-ray Combo Drive Model UH12NS29
Pros: It's quiet, fast read times when it works
Cons: It consistently will start seeking for no reason (with no disc in) when you boot up the PC and will not stop until you pull the power from the drive itself, shutting down the machine will not stop it (will start again when you power back up)
After updating to the newest firmware, it doesn't even work half the time, the BIOS doesn't even see it. Have to rollback to original firmware to get the original issue back.
Other Thoughts: I always trusted LG to make good products but this one was a dude from the beginning.... I wish I would have RMA's it from the start but now it is way past too late and I am stuck with a some thing just better than a paperweight....READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: LG Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal 12X Blu-ray Combo Drive Model UH12NS29
Pros: It reads Blu-ray movies with programs that are not provided. the DVD burner function is fast,
Cons: Constant seek issues.... not sure what else to call it but when I turn on the PC it will just seek nonstop, the only way to stop it is to unplug the power on the back of the drive wait a few secs and plug it back in. It occasionally even happens while trying ti use the drive. I have tried restarting the PC with no luck. I am not sure how to fix this, so it becomes quite useless often, luckily I have 2 other SATA DVD burners I can use. I have flashed the firmware to the latest version it still has this issue.
Other Thoughts: When it works it works great but the problem is, Ihave to leave the side of my pc off all the time so I can unplug and plug this drive back in at least 3 times a weekREAD FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ASUS GT GeForce GT 430 (Fermi) DirectX 11 ENGT430/DI/1GD3(LP) 1GB 128-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card
Pros: Awesome boost in graphics from the 8500GT I had. Saw someone say they had problem with dual monitors, I have been running a dell 21" widescreen and my 20" Sharp LCD TV off the DVI and VGA ports since day 1 with only 1 little problem and 1 weird problem.
Cons: Having a weird issue with the PC not wanting to boot when powered off...not sure if it's the DVI/VGA adapter I have on it but when I wiggle it a little and turn the power off and on it tends to work. the other issue is there is a lot of noise on the DVI port.....not sure if this is also caused by me using a DVI adapter or not but trying to find a old DVI cable (monitor is not Dual Link for some reason) is a pain in the local area and paying shipping on a cable is stupid so guess unless someone knows a way to get rid of the noise I will suffer for the time being since it only really shows bad on really dark colors

Rick Perry skips campaign forum to deal with Texas fires
Sep 6, 2011, 5:37 a.m.
COLUMBIA, South Carolina (Reuters) - Texas Governor Rick Perry canceled a scheduled appearance at a Republican presidential campaign forum in South Carolina on Monday to return home and supervise a fight against rampaging wildfires.
Perry, who leads in opinion polls in the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, urged Texans to exercise extreme caution as the fires burned across the state and killed two people.
"Governor Perry's first priority is to the people of Texas during this natural disaster," campaign spokesman Ray Sullivan said in a statement. Perry also canceled fundraising appearances planned in California on Tuesday.
Perry was one of six Republican candidates scheduled to appear later on Monday at a forum sponsored by Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina, a leader of Tea Party fiscal conservatives.
He returned to Texas after a morning appearance at a Conway, South Carolina, town hall meeting with U.S. Representative Tim Scott.

LOS ANGELES -- You'll know when the USC Trojans officially conquer the numbers game. They will be able to lose a great player, perhaps two, and either maintain production or elevate it.
The Trojans wide receivers could be the guinea pigs this season.
USC's receiving corps lost a great player in Nelson Agholor, an All-American who recorded 104 receptions (third most in team history) for 1,313 yards and 12 touchdowns. Also gone via early draft entry is George Farmer, who, while never reaching his ceiling because of injuries, finished fourth on the team with 24 catches last season. Coupled with the loss of versatile running back Buck Allen (41 receptions, 458 yards), and USC finds itself in precisely the type of situation that has caused problems in the post-NCAA sanctions era.
But Trojans coaches and receivers are confident that fewer proven targets will push the passing game off the mark.
"It's shaping up to be a very good group," wide receivers coach Tee Martin said. "It's still not where we want it to be from a depth standpoint, but the group we have, they understand the responsibilities."
USC might lack a headliner like Agholor -- sophomore JuJu Smith certainly could claim that role after a 54-catch freshman season -- but Martin sees balance that reminds him of the 2012 group, which featured Biletnikoff Award winner Marqise Lee, Robert Woods and Agholor. There's speed with Smith and sophomore Steven Mitchell, who had a breakout spring, versatility with Ajene Harris and experience with Darreus Rogers. Then there's Adoree' Jackson, the magnetic cornerback/returner who spent much of spring practice working with the offense.
The Trojans also add a size element they've lacked with two 6-foot-4 junior-college standouts: Isaac Whitney, who went through spring drills, and De'Quan Hampton, who arrives this summer.
"We'll be really deep," Smith said. "You only can cover so many dudes at once. Somebody's always open."
It seemed like everybody was open at a recent practice as the offense, despite light rain, repeatedly attacked downfield. Mitchell had the biggest day but many others got into the pass-catching party, including Jackson, whose absence from the secondary undoubtedly stung.
"I was just glad I was on the offensive side that day," Jackson said. "The quarterback has so many targets to throw the ball to, it's like, 'Who you gonna stick?' You might lock up two receivers but they've still got two more who can get open."
Afterward, coach Steve Sarkisian quoted Al Davis' theory about attempting two deep passes per quarter. Although USC isn't wedded to eight downfield shots per game, it wants to increase its big-play ability. The Trojans tied for 50th (sixth in the Pac-12) in pass plays of 25 yards or longer with 28 last season.
Offensive coordinator Clay Helton is hopeful Smith can follow the line of Agholor, Woods and Lee as USC's No. 1 target, adding Smith "has that type of talent." Like the others, Smith played significantly as a true freshman, which Martin likens to simply surviving.
"You've got to be able to go from being a survivor to being a dominator," Martin said. "How you become a dominator is by detail. That's where we challenge JuJu."
Mitchell could be Smith's primary complement in the slot position despite only seven catches last season. Rated by ESPN RecruitingNation as the 11th best receiver in the 2013 class, Mitchell tore multiple ligaments in his right knee during an voluntary workout at USC in June before his freshman season.
Fully recovered, Mitchell sparkled this spring. Quarterback Cody Kessler called him the team's most consistent receiver during practices.
"He saw what Nelson did last year, he saw what two years Marquis Lee did at that position," Martin said, "and he realizes it's his time to show people what he's been working so hard for."
Jackson could add flavor to an already delicious stew of wideouts, or he could become a full-on ingredient. The sophomore stiff-arms specialization, excelling whether he's covering receivers, returning kickoffs and now doing long jumps and relays for USC's track team.
Before a recent interview he joked, "They're gassing me," before describing the "perfect situation" he's in, being able to do it all. After Jackson scored on three of 10 receptions in 2014, the coaches acknowledged they didn't use him enough. So he devoted full practices to offense this spring, participating in every receiver drill and learning how to block.
The goal, Martin said, is to prevent opposing defenses from spotting Jackson and expecting him to take them to the ball every time. But he's going to get his touches.
"As special a player as we've had," said Helton, who thinks Jackson could soon master the entire offensive playbook. "You can rank him up there with Woody [Robert Woods] and Marqise, Nelson and Buck. He's just one of those guys that every time he has the ball, you hold your breath.
"He's electric."
Losing elite players like Agholor used to short-circuit undermanned USC teams. The wide receivers must show that they can keep the power lines on all season long.

|Scientific classification
Van den Bussche and Hoofer, 2004
The Yinpterochiroptera, or Pteropodiformes, are a proposed suborder of the Chiroptera, which includes the megabats and five of the microbat families: Rhinopomatidae, Rhinolophidae, Hipposideridae, Craseonycteridae, and Megadermatidae. This taxon is primarily based on molecular genetics data. This is a relatively recent proposal, which challenges the traditional view that megabats and microbats form monophyletic groups of bats. Further studies are being conducted, using both molecular and morphological cladistic methodology, to assess its merit.[1]
The term Yinpterochiroptera is constructed from the words Pteropodidae (the family of megabats) and Yinochiroptera (a term proposed in 1984 by Karl F. Koopman to refer to certain families of microbats[2]).
Apparently the first appearance of the term Yinpterochiroptera was in 2001, in an article by Mark Springer et al.[3]
As an alternative to the subordinal names Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochiroptera, some researchers use the terms Pteropodiformes and Vespertilioniformes.[2][4] Under this new proposed nomenclature, Pteropodiformes is the suborder that would replace Yinpterochiroptera.
Suborder Yinpterochiroptera (Pteropodiformes)
- Family Craseonycteridae (Kitti's hog-nosed bat)
- Family Hipposideridae (Old World leaf-nosed bats)
- Family Megadermatidae (false vampires)
- Family Pteropodidae (megabats)
- Family Rhinolophidae (horseshoe bats)
- Family Rhinopomatidae (mouse-tailed bats)
- ^ "Order Chiroptera bats". animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu. Retrieved 2007-12-30.

- ^ "Table 2, Traditional and proposed classifications for bats included in this study". Integrated fossil and molecular data reconstruct bat echolocation. 2001.
The proposed suborder Yinpterochiroptera is based on the conjunction of 'yin' and 'ptero' to reflect the composition of this new taxon.

Following the recommendations of Hutcheon and Kirsch (2004), we refer to the two suborders of chiropterans as 'Pteropodiformes' (comprising the Pteropodidae, Rhinolophidae, Hipposideridae, Megadermatidae, and Rhinopomatidae) and 'Vespertilioniformes' (remaining microbat families).

...Amtrak, which runs a deficit and therefore depends on money from Washington, remains on a seemingly permanent path to mediocrity.
What gives, exactly? Why can't Amtrak create any momentum for itself in the political world? Why is the United States apparently condemned to have second-rate trains?
Part of the answer, of course, is geography: Density lends itself to trains, and America is far less dense than, say, Spain or France. But this explanation isn't wholly satisfying because, even in the densest parts of the United States, intercity rail is slow or inefficient.
I wanna be where you are
On a hazy February day in 2011, a special rainbow-colored train sped down the tracks to celebrate the newly-completed bullet train line spanning the island of Kyushu, Japan, and everybody came out to greet it.
San Francisco to Los Angeles in 2 hours and 38 minutes
Does California need the high-speed rail project? The New York Times published six opinion pieces debating the merits of the $90 billion high-speed rail plan that would connect Los Angeles to San Francisco. Streetsblog has a summary of the six opinions. [more inside]
Melbourne to Brisbane in six hours
Australia's federal Department of Infrastructure and Transport has released an initial report into the prospects of building a high-speed rail link joining the eastern states. The report (which may be found here) lists a number of potential corridors joining Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane, and gives the total cost of building the system at AUD100bn. The resulting system would allow journeys between Melbourne and Sydney (currently the world's fourth busiest air route) in just under three hours, and Sydney and Brisbane in a further three. Tickets between Melbourne and Sydney would be priced at AUD99 to AUD197, with Sydney-Brisbane tickets being slightly cheaper. [more inside]

The state of high-speed rail, August 2009
The Guardian ran a series of articles looking at the state of high-speed rail travel today. France intends to double its length of track over the next decade, and China is planning a massive rail-building programme, including a high-speed line which will halve the travel time between Beijing and Shanghai to 4 hours. In Germany, domestic air travel is rapidly going extinct, and Spain's network has made day trips between Madrid and Barcelona a possibility. The USA, which has long neglected its rail network, is planning up to 10 high-speed lines. Meanwhile, Britain's only high-speed line goes to France, but there is talk of a 250mph line from London to Birmingham and beyond, possibly by the early 2020s. Meanwhile, the CEO of France's rail operator, SNCF, weighs in on what the UK should do.

This is the worst dr office i have ever spoke with....
Worst Dr. practice I have seen, called 4 times to make an appointment no one calls back, and the one time I got hold of someone takes all the info again and said we will call you back with appointment time. I asked when can I expect a call from them and the answer was ridiculous she said "if you don't hear back from us in 24 hours call some other DR" really that's how the practice is run... Have never met Dr. Usha Panicker personal but her office is run like a circus and her staff works like clowns..... DO NOT GO TO HER....
Only one positive thing to say about my experience with Dr. Panicker - when prescribing medicine she will really think about what is best for the patient as opposed to which pharmaceutical she should support. Aside from that - dealing with Dr. Panicker's office is a nightmare. They are the rudest, least helpful people - completely unaware of the customer/client/patient service mentality. You can never get anyone on the phone. If they do return your call, it is to offer no help & if they don't, they lie and say they did. Dr. Panicker never returns the request for a call from her directly & I am unsure if that is her decision or the inability of her staff to pass along the message. Responses to email (if you are lucky to get one) take forever and are vague and unhelping. Every visit to the office has taken close to three hours & that is mostly waiting and moving from one room to another - my average patient doctor time was probably around 10 minutes. I will never go back. It really is too bad though because I think that Dr. Panicker could have the potential to run a great practice. It will definitely have to start with getting rid of ALL of her existing employees and starting fresh with kind, caring & compassionate individuals.
Nothing to like about this Doctor. Takes walk-ins so making the appointment is not difficult, it is the waiting for hours sometimes to actually see the Dr for all of 5 minutes. Unprofessional at best...
Talk about disappointing! Voice mail was not returned. I then called back only to be put on hold for ten minutes. If you can't make an appointment you cant judge the doctor! There is no rating lower than one star but this office should get one
The doctor is not a bad doctor. She seems to keep up with the latest research and best practices. However, the wait time is usually VERY LONG!! Also, her staff is not well trained and she seems to have regular staff turn over. Finally, Dr. Panicker gives inconsistent service. One time she spends time talking, asking and answering questions. Other times, she asks 2 questions and steps out without saying the session is over. She'll then send in an assistant to tell you to step out.
The wait time is ridiculous. 2 hours in the waiting room, another hour or more in the inside waiting room and an hour or more with her (if you let her). What bothers me the most is that she ends up talking a lot about things in general, and not focus on why you are there in the first place.. to see the doctor regarding a specific problem. The office staff refuses to fax any paperwork, saying they're not allowed to and are unprofessional. Currently looking for another doctor!
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE DR.PANICKER BUT THE STAFF IS JUST AWFUL,TERRIBLE,AND DOES NOT SHOW ANY COURTESY TO ITS CLIENTS.I have this bad experience with them when I was asking for some consideration not to charge me a $50.00 for missing my appointment and mind you this was my first time missing it in 5 years under her care. Staff insisted of charging me and sending me the bill after having to reason out with them and I would quote "its our policy and procedure" sounding so apathetic and so cold that I gave up and said alright just send me the bill and I would not see the doctor anymore and search for a new doctor,they just said "OK". I just hope this would be an eye opener to those who would be and currently under her care. I'm very disappointed with how a patient/doctor relationship would end like this....thanks to your staff !!!
Extremely rude and deameaning. Would not recommend this doctor.
doctor panicker is by far the smartest doctor I have ever seen. without going into details about my health condition, i can tell you that she REALLY knows her stuff. after being shuffled around by other doctors who have no idea what they're doing she figured out my exact problem and gave me the right treatment and i am truly grateful and lucky to have found such a wonderful doctor and am happy to support her and recommend her to anyone. if you want someone who knows what they are doing then look no further!
Dr. Panicker is one of the best doctors I have seen. She really cares about patients and goes the extra mile for me. She is a very intelligent and experienced doctor.
I highly recommend Dr. Panicker. She is very smart, friendly, and caring. She has managed my diabetes far better than the doctor I used to see before I moved to the edison area and I have nothing but praise for her manners and skills as a doctor.
I am glad I came to see Dr. Panicker. The other doctor I was seeing before was putting on unncecessary medications. I feel lot better
Wait time is too long. Doctor was very rude and left without answering any questions. Poor Bedside manner.
office staffs are really rude, doc is not friendy, not helpfull for followup, moneyminded. if you have any questions after your visit you need a new appointment to clear up your question, don't care about the patients.
it seems that this doctor does not see black patients per her receptionist one week before one can get an appointment then they call you and say it will be better if you see another dr because you disturbing us i am not indian and will never be the receptionist needs to watch what she said to patients.
This doctor has the most horrible service staff I know. After several tries got an appointment, which I was given right in the middle of the day as new patient. Showed up, after taking half the day off from work, and waited 90 minutes. No sign of the doctor. Then had to reschedule as had to get back to work. On the rescheduled appointment day, the staff called to cancel the appointment. Then refused to give another appointment at my preferred time of late evening, saying we see new patients only in the middle of the day. What a bunch of idiots and a doctor who is a bigger idiot of all.
Only met once - first meeting!Was waiting one and halfhours at the clinic without any updates.The Doctor didn't offer any apology for the waitingShe asked me the same questions that I had already filled out in a form I had been asked to fill. I had to tell her to that she should either read the form or fill it herself while meeting me.I gave her copies of my previous reports as I had been advised by her staff. However, the doctor didn't bother to read it and gave it her staff for photo-copying. Meanwhile, she asked me specifics that were on those reports. I told her I cannot be sure of the numbers, dates and medical terminology on the reports and she should look at it.Without waiting to see the report, the Doctor gave me a prescription for more tests and left the room.Her staff brought back my blood test reports - unstappled and in total dissaray.I told her, I want the doctor to have a look at the reports and would like to ask her about it. The staff went into the Doctors room and came back saying the doctor will not see me or talk to me. If I have a question, I should ask the staff. I asked the staff if the doctor had any specific inputs based on the actual numbers for my blood sugar and if there was anything else I should be concerned about from an endocrinological point of view since I take over a dozen tablets every day and am a critical end-stage Heart Failure Patient.The doctor refused to still see the report or talk to me. She told her staff to tell me that she had nothing to add that I should get the additional tests done and come back to see her with another appointment. I checked to confirm if she was with another patient. She wasn't. There was noone in the waiting area too. I know none of my experiences reflect on how good or bad a doctor she is, but I am not sure I want to find out. Would you?
This doctor is horrible. She will not speak to you when you call her. She puts her receptionists (who have no idea what they're doing) and speaks to you through them while you can hear her in the background telling them what to say. That is the utmost unprofessionalism I have encountered in a doctor's office.
Dr. Bangelor referred me to Dr. Panicker for help in managing my Addison's. She is very caring and listened to my concerns. I was not rushed and my questions were answered. I would recommend her to my friends.
Very Caring and Spends time to discuss your overall health, questions and concerns.
This doctor has excellent clinical skills.
I came to her for gestational diabetes and she wound up doing a thyroid work up. One of my numbers was off so instead of looking further into it, she wanted to give me medicine because she "was at a loss and dont know what to do" Ive seen her 3 times and I still dont what's going on w my gest diabetes. The waiting time is ridiculous-expect to be there for min 2hours. When I call to speak with the doctor, the staff won't let me and says I need to make appt-even for a simple question. And, good luck getting a receptionist on the phone-they never answer.
Did not like this office at all. I feel bad for the staff I know is not there fault. But the doctor is horrible, never wants to help with prescriptions and faxing. But the worse is the waiting time you wait 2 hrs in the waiting room then 1 hr more in the inside waiting room total 3hrs waitin then the dr sees you for 15 minutes. Waste of my time.
After you wait about an hour in the first waiting room, you wait another half hour to an hour in the back waiting room. I fell asleep in the second waiting room. I asked for a flu shot and was told she doesn't do them anymore, go to an old age home (I'm 50) She won't cooperate with the mail away meds that my insurance requires and won't fax any forms. If I want a copy of my test results she charges $1.00 per page. I feel sorry for the people that work here. They seem so unhappy. I guess you would be too if everyone was yelling at you all the time about overbooking the appointments. And, by the way good luck finding out what the actual office hours are and getting a human on the phone once in a while would be nice. It takes 5 or 6 calls to get an appointment because no one ever picks up the phone.....
All this office cares about is money. The Dr. and the staff are just disgusting.

$299M cash/ 67M shares = $4.46 and Zero Debt
Wish I could buy more. Tapped out.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Nice value proposition here. Bought at $2.15 two weeks ago. Shoulda bought earlier but held one of my tech stocks a bit too long. Wrong move.
Not tapped out here but I only put in 10% of my portfolio in one stock which I already did, just waiting.....I think it's going to be 6 months before a major rise.

In The Entrepreneur and the Professional, I brought up the challenges at work faced by my generation. The focus was on an approach to work and the changes that have been forced on it because of rapidly shifting business environments. In addition to the business' external dynamics, another factor that has been changing the organisation is the entry of a different kind of workforce.
"How the Millennial Workforce is Changing Business" calls this a revolution, and writes further that they will prepare the organisation for the future by making them Digital, Clear, Fluid, Fast. PwC's layered report on the same subject brings out this workforce' motivations, acknowledges the generational tensions and suggests what the organisation would need to do to attract, develop and manage millennials.

Arrowhead linebacker Landisch orally commits to UW
Will join 2011 recruiting class
The Wisconsin Badgers' latest football recruit is a high-caliber athlete who will get plenty of chances to show his ability this fall.
Arrowhead's Derek Landisch will be a rare two-way player as a senior for the Warhawks, smashing ball carriers from his spot at inside linebacker and running away from would-be tacklers as a running back.
Tuesday, he gave an oral commitment to join UW's 2011 recruiting class. He was recruited to play defense.
"He is a very explosive athlete," Arrowhead coach Tom Taraska said.
With the commitment, Landisch gives Arrowhead a Big Ten recruit for the third straight year. Graduated senior Tom Parish, a quarterback, is at Minnesota, and 2009 alum Jeff Budzien, a kicker, is at Northwestern.
Landisch is the Badgers' fifth known oral commitment. He joins Merrill tight end Sam Arneson, Baldwin-Woodville linebacker Jake Keefer, Waunakee tight end Austin Maly and Fond du Lac Springs tight end Eric Steffes.
Landisch chose Wisconsin after receiving offers from Bowling Green, Northern Illinois, Illinois State and South Dakota, Taraska said. Ohio State, Northwestern and Minnesota were recruiting him.
"We expected quite a few offers, to be honest, in the next month, but he was really exited about the Badgers," Taraska said.
Landisch, who stands 6 feet and weighs 219 pounds, has experience playing inside and outside linebacker. As a sophomore, he started at inside linebacker on the team that reached the state final.
He moved to outside linebacker last season but suffered a severe ankle sprain and was sidelined until late in the playoffs.
In the offseason, Landisch has been making a name for himself in camps and combines across the Midwest.
In March, he participated in a Nike Combine in Chicago. According to wissports.net, he posted the second-best performance out of 968 athletes, including a 4.72-second laser-timed 40-yard dash and a 36-inch vertical jump.
At the Badger camp, he ran the 40 in 4.53, Taraska said.

hey Marketend, thanks for the tip and alert, but I could see this coming from a mile away and was ready. Very very profitable indeed!I think we're going to see a lot less ebay fluctuation, as in pumps and dumps, and a whole lot less valuation, as in the mid 20s, as Goldman Sachs is investigated and gets whats coming to them for their many endless manipulation crimes.I await that day with giddy feelings and a ready bank account! It's already a fine day. I expect many more for ebay shorts!

Scientologists Bring Truth About Drugs to KwaZulu-Natal Schools
A Scientology publication released November 13, 2012 describes grass-roots action against cannabis in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, where alarming levels of student use of the drug prompted Scientologists to take action.
The situation prompted authorities to stage raids on schools throughout the province with pat-down searches of young students resulting in police routinely seizing stashes of drugs.
Truth About Drugs campaign volunteers conducted drug prevention lectures in many schools, one classroom at a time, but the campaign coordinator calculated at that rate it would require years to make a significant difference. To bring about the rapid change needed, he reached out to local educators, presenting a three-hour seminar to teachers, school administrators and volunteers to train them in the use of the program.
The first team not only learned to implement the curriculum, they also undertook the training of other teachers to do the same. Among the first to export the program was the principal of a primary school who trained his own teachers on the Truth About Drugs curriculum and made the training available to teachers from neighboring schools.
With word of the program spreading from classroom to classroom and school to school, the Truth About Drugs initiative took on a life of its own, with 370 teachers making the program available to some 30,000 students in the region. It was even adopted by a former drug dealer who heard of the program, completed the training, and has now given drug awareness lessons to 1,000 Zulu-speaking teenagers at a secondary school.
Learning of the popularity of the initiative, the provincial commissioner of the Department of Police Training of KwaZulu-Natal decided to adopt the Truth About Drugs and establish it as a core component of the police training curriculum.
To read a copy of Scientology:
Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote, "The planet has hit a barrier which prevents any widespread social progress—drugs and other biochemical substances. These can put people into a condition which not only prohibits and destroys physical health but which can prevent any stable advancement in mental or spiritual well-being."
The Church of Scientology supports Truth About Drugs, one of the world's largest nongovernmental drug education and prevention campaigns. It has been conclusively proven that when young people are provided with the truth about drugs—factual information on what drugs are and what they do—usage rates drop commensurately.

This Just In — TV News Anchor Advocates NOT Watching TV
Yet another reason to be careful about what you post on facebook.
Yet another reason to be careful about what you post on facebook.
It was a huge story last week about Kendall Jones, the Texas Tech cheerleader who is getting backlash and support for her hunting of endangered animals.
In a move that came out seemingly of nowhere on Monday, Facebook announced it had purchased Oculus VR, Inc. for $2 billion.
So there is a Facebook scam going on and I fell for it yesterday. Apparently scammers are taking your name, information, and profile picture and creating a new profile.
Facebook turned 10 years old on Tuesday, which the people from Facebook made a 1 minute video of your posts since joining the "friend network". Now as for me, I'm a 90's kid growing up in a decade people actually enjoyed. I wonder how Facebook would have looked on those 'old school' computers.
An impassioned father has posted a video in the hopes of it reaching Mark Zuckerberg or anyone else at Facebook. His request? He wants to be able to see his deceased son's "Look Back" video.
So, what will you remember from 2013?
What's that? You say it's time to wish your BFF, Aunt Phyllis or pet rock a happy birthday? Well, bust out the presents and bring on the cake! Better yet, send her an awesome birthday GIF or video. But don't settle for for the ones every will be sending. Have some fun. Here are some great birthday-themed greetings and video clips to give again and again, no wrapping paper required.
Social media makes it so that many of us can do a lot of things that we might not necessarily do in real life. And honestly, if you think about it, a lot of things that social media has us doing daily online, are things that would be totally creepy if we did them in the real world. The folks at Buzzfeed realized that, and put together this video to show us how some of the things that we do on Facebook would look if we did them in real life.
If you've been cruising Facebook over the past three days you might have noticed your friend's profile pictures turning into giraffes.
I had the excellent opportunity to speak with Andrew Strugnell, the man behind the recent giraffe craze that's taking over the social media site.
I'm sure you have stumbled across the Giraffe challenge on Facebook. Well, we're here to explain what it is, how to play, and what people are saying about it.
We all know teenagers love to use social media, but it seems that can lead to some fatal behavior.

Mozart: Don Giovanni (royal Opera House)
Don Giovanni is one of the timeless classics of all opera. Mozart's music, and the words of his great collaborator Da Ponte, are brought to life in Francesca Zambello's engrossing production from 2002 with its rich and colourful designs by Maria Bjornson. The music is memorable, dramatic and enjoyable: from the seductive solo voices of the famous 'La ci darem la mano' to the fabulous ensemble as Don Giovanni's infatuated conquests, vengeful victims and their outraged relatives join forces for justice. And retribution does finally come to Don Giovanni, a serial womanizer and a murderer, with the searing flames of Hell ready to engulf him. Simon Keenlyside heads the outstanding cast, conducted by renowned Mozart expert Charles Mackerras.

CM attends public meet amid rain
By Express News Service - JAGATSINGHPUR
Published: 09th September 2013 11:29 AM
Last Updated: 09th September 2013 11:42 AM
Despite heavy rainfall Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik attended a pubic meeting at Jagatsinghpur on Sunday amid controversy regarding the venue.
Even though there was poor turn-out due to the heavy rain, presence of the Chief Minister boosted the moral of the ULB candidates and leaders of the party. BJD had expected a gathering of more than 5,000 people but around 1000 people turned up. The party leaders said besides rain, another reason for low participation was the Chief Minister's early arrival. He came to the meeting one hour before the scheduled time. He was accompanied by Civil Supply Minister Pratap Keshari Deo and legislators Prafulla Ghadei and Prasant Muduli. Local legislator Bishnu Das presided over the meeting. Naveen Patnaik read out the names of 21 candidates who have been selected by the party to contest the ULB election.
Enlisting development measures taken by BJD during its term, he appealed to the people to vote in favour of BJD. He said, "Development can be possible only if you cast your vote for BJD." Patnaik also strongly criticised Congress led UPA Government at the Centre for step-motherly attitude towards Odisha in the rail budget, mining and special State status. "Our BJD party has vowed to intensify the agitation against Union Government to fulfil our demands," he said. Other Ministers and legislators said the BJD will do well in the ULB polls in the State as Congress has no strength to contest with BJD.Meanwhile, BJP and Independent candidates have sought the intervention of State Election Commissioner to take action against Patnaik for violating the model code of conduct by using school premises.
'Government determined to mitigate poverty'
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Sunday said the Government is determined to mitigate poverty from the State.
Addressing a public gathering at Pattamundei, he said after BJD came to power, the State has progressed in all sectors. For mitigating poverty, the Government has launched `1-per-kg rice scheme, Madhusudan Pension Yojana, Mo Kudia and other such programmes, Naveen said, adding that unemployed youths in the State would get jobs once industries are set up. The Chief Minister also flayed the UPA Government at the Centre for rising prices of essential commodities and Opposition parties in the State for trying to scuttle industrialisation in the State.
