Corp Bond Mkt Can Reach 15% of GDP in 12th Plan: CII
By PTI - MUMBAI
Published: 23rd December 2013 10:35 AM
Last Updated: 23rd December 2013 10:35 AM
Prudent policy and regulatory reforms can help the country's corporate bond market to reach a level of 15 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in the current Five Year plan (2012-17), a CII survey said.
"Corporate bond market, which stands below 5 per cent of GDP at present, has the potential to reach to a level of 15 per cent of GDP during the 12th Five Year plan on back of policy and regulatory reforms," a survey conducted by the industry body on 'Reforming Corporate Bond Market (CBM)' said.
The participants of the survey included bond issuers, investors, market makers, credit rating agencies and technical experts.
"A robust corporate bond market is imperative to meet the funding needs of the emerging Indian economy. Concerted policy and regulatory reforms in CBM holds the key for the private sector to meet its target share of 47 per cent in the total infrastructure investment during the 12th Plan," CII Director General Chandrajit Banerjee said.
The survey said 29 per cent of the respondents estimated the actual potential of corporate bond market to be 10-12.5 per cent of GDP while 14 per cent of them believe the level to be at 7.5 -10 per cent.
India is heavily reliant on budgetary support and bank credit for funding its infrastructure needs, while in many countries across the world, long-term debt in form of corporate/sovereign or municipal bonds forms a major share of infrastructure finance, it said.
"Limitations or inflexibility of the banking sector to meet increasing capital requirements of infrastructure companies would be the key driver for development of corporate bond market," the survey said.
Highlighting the impediments of corporate bond market, the survey said, "Lack of conducive regulatory framework, in-existence of incentives and support mechanisms for willing market makers and inadequate credit enhancement facility are the biggest challenges in deepening of the market."
Conducive regulatory framework and incentivising willing market makers can have positive impact on the development of the market, it added.
"Increased availability of credit enhancements by different institutions including banks would allow less than investment grade bonds to be eligible for investment by insurance companies, Provident Fund and Pension funds," the survey said.
The participants believe that top priority needs to be given in formulating strong bankruptcy laws by amendments to Sarfaesi Act to enable recovery of bond holder dues by debenture trustees through Debt Recovery Tribunals.
Standardising documentation and mandating use of unified market conventions for standardisation would also help in increasing the recovery, the survey said.

The Model S user guide says no automated car washes except "touchless." Everyone here seems to agree with that. I live in the Northeast where washing by hand is impractical in winter. I found a no rinse wash that can be done in your garage, "Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine", and it works great. I'm sure there are other brands that do the same. (not spam and not a plug - just an owner concerned about washing in the winter.)
Here's a good article on the "two bucket method"
The essentials being the grit guards, and MF waffle weave drying towels
I bought the grit guards based on the junkman videos, and have to say I'm not convinced they really do anything. I washed my car this past weekend and unless you don't have any foam on your mitt and you don't disturb the water when you put it in there, all the grit/dirt ends up in the foam on top, or gets sloshed off the bottom when you are dunking your mitt. When I went to dump out the water at the end, there really wasn't any grit down under the grit guard. Maybe if my car had been really dirty I would have seen something down there, but so far I'm not impressed.
Excellent car wash product here...neutral PH
#901 Duragloss Wash scroll down this page:
also plush microfiber not found in big box stores - excellent way to dry without streaks
Pbfoot-don't use a mitt or sponge. Use a boar's head brush like the one Griot's Garage sells. Very soft bristles never trap grit or dirt.

First things first, I got engaged last night! That pretty much trumps anything else I could tell you about Mexico. This is the best place to be and I couldn't be happier to share it with my new fiancé and family.
That being said, I have to debunk some pretty insane rumors going around about travel in Mexico. Every time I come here someone says, "Aren't you scared?" Scared of what? Taco vendors? Massage therapists? No, I'm not.
People only get to see the somewhat glamorous news stories of drug lords, and kidnappings, and the violent crimes done to law enforcement. Is all of that happening? Yes. Does it happen in the United States too? Yes.
I'm from Chicago, which a lot of people are now calling "Chi-raq." There is murder there and it is sad and it is real, but it is all about location, location, location. Just because there are murders and gang-related issues in one part of Chicago should not prompt someone going on a business trip to get scared. Don't walk down an unknown boulevard at three in the morning looking to buy drugs and I'm sure you'll be fine. This mentality is the same anywhere. When Americans decide it's too dangerous, they stop going. When they stop going, it hurts the Mexican economy. When it hurts the Mexican economy, it affects honest people's lives. Come to Mexico. Stay in a safe place. Plan the taxi and services ahead of time and ask friends where they have been that they enjoyed.
I lived in Puerto Vallarta for a year, and Uruapan, Michoacan for another year. Uruapan has been known to be a very violent, drug-infested, gang-run city. I was the only white person I saw for that entire year. It is not a tourist town for obvious reasons. I was never out after dark by myself, and I took proper precautions to keep myself safe. Would I suggest a group of tourists go there? Probably not. It is not to be rude, but realistic. Patzcuaro is another city that is nearby that I've seen tourists stay. It is extremely beautiful and authentic. The Day of the Dead celebration is held there every November and Mexican people come from all over to celebrate around the lake. Gringos even retire there. Like I said, it really is about where you are staying. Most Americans and Canadians stick to the tourist places like Cozumel, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Playa del Carmen. Those places are so unbelievably safe, even at night. Police patrol, sometimes to Americans surprise, with guns. The cities are watched over and protected because so much of their income comes from tourism! There will always be crime all over the world because people are not perfect. Don't let one area or one problem keep you from enjoying a beautiful country. I urge you, come visit your neighbors to the South and learn about a beautiful and rich culture that is worth enjoying.
If you have any questions about Mexican travel, please ask me. I am willing to help in any way I can!

The Lucian Newhall House is a historic house at 84 Nahant Street (on its corner with Ocean Street) in Lynn, Massachusetts. The three story Second Empire house was built in 1866 for Lucian Newhall, descendant of early Lynn settlers and one of the first people to establish a shoe factory in the city. Newhall's house is a major presence in the Diamond District, where the city's elite lived. The house is notable for its cupola, ornate window styling, port-cochere, and columned entries.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (as being at 281 Ocean Street) in 1985,[1] and included in the Diamond Historic District in 1996.[2]

NEW YORK (AP) - Braves first baseman Andres Galarraga was suspended for three games and fined Monday for charging the mound and fighting after John Wasdin hit him with a pitch last week at Colorado.
Rockies manager Buddy Bell and Wasdin were suspended two games each and also fined by Frank Robinson, baseball's vice president of discipline.
Galarraga appealed the suspension and was available for Monday night's home game against the Cincinnati Reds. The Big Cat feels his actions were justified because Wasdin challenged him to fight.
"I had no choice," said Galarraga, who batted cleanup against the Reds. "It's too many days for that. I'll have to appeal it and see what happens."
Wasdin also appealed and was available for Colorado's game at Philadelphia. Bell decided to serve his suspension and was replaced by bench coach Toby Harrah.
"I have the utmost respect for Frank," Bell said before the game against the Phillies. "I talked to him, and I'm going to start tonight."
Wasdin hit Galarraga with a pitch in the 11th inning of last Tuesday's 7-6 Colorado victory, a game in which Rockies catcher Brent Mayne wound up as the winning pitcher.
After he was hit by a pitch, Galarraga slowly walked toward first base as Wasdin gestured at him. Galarraga rushed Wasdin, and the benches emptied.
Wasdin, Galarraga and Bell were ejected.
Robinson said Galarraga was suspended for "charging the mound, fighting and provoking a bench-clearing incident," while Wasdin was suspended for "instigating a fight, fighting and provoking a bench-clearing incident."
Bell was suspended for "multiple occurrences" this season of "prolonged and excessive arguing" and "delaying the game."
When players appeal, the suspension cannot start until after a hearing before Paul Beeston, baseball's chief operating officer.

Yellowstone Seeks Information on Illegal Bison Shootings
Yellowstone National Park is asking for the public's help in identifying who was responsible for illegally shooting and killing three bison inside the park last week.
Park rangers determined the bison were likely shot between the evening of March 13 and morning of March15 alongside the road in the Blacktail Plateau area of northern Yellowstone.
A reward of up to $5,000 is offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual(s) responsible for the crime. Anyone with information is requested to call the Yellowstone National Park Tip Line at 307-344-2132.
The Lacey Act and the Code of Federal Regulations strictly prohibit the killing or removal of any animal from inside Yellowstone. This includes animals shot legally outside the park that cross into and die within the park boundary. Taking and removing any animal parts, including shed antlers, is also prohibited.
Violators are investigated and aggressively prosecuted, and are subject to penalties including fines, restitution, and the forfeiture of vehicles, equipment and personal property associated with the violations.

Two people were detained after they were found unconscious in a vehicle on Jefferson Davis Highway on Tuesday, according to the Aiken County Sheriffs Office.
Robert Lee Poole, 23, of Atomic Road in Beech Island, was charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana and unlawful carry. Shikera Bates, 23, of Silver Bluff Road in Aiken, was charged with open container and disorderly conduct.
Poole and Bates were placed in the Aiken County detention center, where they remained on Tuesday afternoon.
Officers were called to a parking lot on Jefferson Davis Highway in Clearwater about 3:20 a.m. on Tuesday, where they found Poole and Bates unconscious in a vehicle.
After waking the suspects, officers found a silver handgun under the front passenger seat, the report stated. Poole was found to have about 28 grams of a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana on him. Bates smelled strongly of alcohol and exhibited signs of intoxication. She was detained after being unable to answer how they had gotten to the parking lot.

For decades, one word was banned from the Arab political vocabulary: tagheer (change). Now, however,with one despotic regime after another toppled or badly shaken, tagheer is on everyone's lips, including the lips of those who have ordered massacres to prevent change.
In his latest television appearance, the Syrian despot Bashar Assad mouthed the word a dozen times. In his case the change was in the stage management of the TV appearance. For the first time, he was not addressing an invisible audience from the solitude of a podium or the gilded armchair of the ruler. He was sitting in an

|Rescooped by Jonathan Jarc from Digital Delights
"Open Educational Resources (OERs) are digital learning resources made freely available online under open licenses. Most OERs are educational content like simulations, animations, videos, lesson plans and educational games. Although they can be embedded into learning management systems, they are generally online objects that can be viewed, downloaded or played from a web server. Their increasing number and popularity have led to the creation of online catalogs that reference them. These catalogs consist of searchable collections of metadata (i.e., machine-readable descriptions of the OERs). Metadata aims at facilitating the management, discovery, and exchange of OERs and at allowing users of these resources (e.g., teachers, learners) to more easily evaluate their usefulness. Typical metadata is generated by indexers (humans, software, or a combination of both). They look at a resource and its context for information that describes it and use this information to create a metadata record. Metadata in a catalog is obtained either by creating new records (i.e., describing OERs) or by exchanging already existing records with other catalogs. These exchanges are enabled by the use of standard metadata formats (e.g., Dublin Core, IEEE LOM [1]) and standard metadata exchange protocols (e.g., OAI-PMH [2], SPI [3]).
Each time a teacher or a learner interacts with an OER, these interactions produce data. This "interaction data" includes "artifact data" routinely captured during any online interaction by Web server logs (e.g., users' browsers, users' IP addresses) and "social data" created during Web 2.0-style interactions with resources (e.g., tags, comments, ratings, favorites). This interaction data can serve a number of purposes. Interaction data is a very valuable source of analytics about OERs and typical audience profiles. Moreover, combined with metadata, interaction data can be used to enhance searching, ranking, and recommendations of OERs. However, obtaining this data is not always easy since OERs are generally dispersed among different systems where the interactions between resources and their users take place. Moreover, in most countries, interaction data is governed by privacy protection laws that restrict the way it can be stored, collected, exchanged, and used. Nevertheless, having a way to assess the quality of OERs by collecting data indicating their actual uptake and to understand which OERs are of most relevance for particular regions is of critical importance for current OER initiatives worldwide [4].
This paper explores different methods for overcoming barriers in collecting and exchanging interaction data. From a strictly technical point of view, the exchange of interaction data requires the participating systems to agree on a common data format and data exchange protocol. The main limitation of these approaches comes from the fact that they require the active collaboration of the systems where the interaction data is produced. Each of them has to capture interaction data, export it into the desired format and publish/expose it using one or more of the available protocols. All of this is rather cumbersome and usually of limited interest for most of these systems since there is little incentive to share interaction data with metadata catalogs of OERs."

25 of the most anticipated spring albums

The next three months are going to be a busy time. Country superstars including Kenny Chesney and Blake Shelton have new material to share ahead of major tours, will.i.am will (reportedly) finally get around to releasing a solo album he said would be out in 2011, and spring will see two of the most anticipated releases of the year, from Justin Timberlake and David Bowie, who made their latest albums in secret after spending several years away from music.

Cassandra Smith at Sky High Gallery
One of the things that's hard not to miss about artist Cassandra Smith is the way she gravitates toward what are often considered decidedly male things. From animal pelts, nautical rope, axes, deer antlers and taxidermied game, she is at home with the raw materials of man caves everywhere.
But Smith imposes pretty paints, sequins and a design sensibility to transform these found objects into something other than what they were. Through direct application of color and pattern, she creates a tension between natural and organic forms and hard-edged geometries. She alters her materials while honoring the qualities that drew her to them in the first place, she says in her artist statement. »Read Full Blog Post

Uncharted Waters Online
When I was looking for quest guides on different sites, I rarely see a forum/section that is entirely dedicated to UWO. Maybe a thread or too, but not like other games which has their own section. I'm kinda new in the game and I really wanna see if there are also other active players. Just a thought. :py31:
You can pretty much tell by the lack of a section that little to no people on this site actually play UWO. To get a section dedicated to the game, there needs to be a pretty strong following for the game.
For whatever you're looking for about the game, I recommend searching up a Wikia for it. Most MMOs have their own Wikia pages, and I'm positive UWO does too.
I see. So sad. It's just I'm having a hard time looking for co-newbies in the game. It would be sucha bliss to have somebody accompany you on quests, travels. Thanks for that though. :py55:

The words are what woo us. The words written about Ted Kennedy and the rest of the Kennedy family, and the words spoken and written by the family members themselves.
The words that come from historians and hangers-on, from admirers and skeptics, from novelists and songwriters, from cousins and pundits and pals.
The Kennedys are as much a literary phenomenon as a political one, a fact that President Barack Obama seemed to acknowledge with his statement in the wake of Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's death at 77 from brain cancer Tuesday: "An important chapter in our history has come to an end."
Not scene. Not screen. Not moment. But "chapter."
The Kennedy influence on our cultural life may have coincided with the rise of television and modern media, but the essential narrative of this singular American family has always made its way to us in the form of literature.
From the advent of what might be called the Kennedy era - the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency in 1960 - it has come in a constant stream of words: the books and the magazine articles, the memoirs, the critiques, the shamelessly flattering profiles and vicious takedowns.
And the words keep coming. The publisher of Ted Kennedy's memoir, "True Compass," announced Wednesday that publication will be moved up from October to Sept. 14. Earlier this year, "The Kennedy Legacy: Jack, Bobby and Ted and a Family Dream Fulfilled" by Vincent Bzdek was published.

You will be provided with a list of P. O. boxes, dummy corporations, and drop sites each of us use at a later date.
Hopefully Ruz, Rob G, Trans, and I will be able to get an occasional article posted edgewise between your daily or twice-a-day medical reports and analyses, but considering the history, mystery, and frequency of Cubs injuries, I believe we will soon be changing the name of this site from "TCR" to "CUBSTER, M. D." And I personally think that would be a good thing.

Here's cubster about Prior recently,
Thanks all for the warm
Thanks all for the warm reception...knowing how things go I'm hopeful that the glow lasts longer than the goodwill Neifi got from his HR as a Rockie back in 1998.
Sure, Carpal Tunnel and Z; subscapular tendonitis, congenital shoulder laxity (the diagnosis of the moment) and Prior; Torn menisci, Tommy John surgery, Labral tears and Kerry Wood; torn flexor tendons and Sean Marshall (and I think Sean Gallagher) have experienced and I hope there aren't enough injuries for Phil's proposed twice a day reports. Bruce Levine, I'm not...
Az Phil...didn't they tell you that part of my deal is that you now have to scout my 21 yr old son, Ken. College Jr. at Case in Cleveland. He was a catcher in T-ball as I recall.
CWTP...just one thing, remember never to ask your orthopod for advice on vaginitis, cause it isn't in our curriculum. Orthopods aren't very good on psychosomatic stuff either. If it isn't in the skeleton we're not going to be very useful. Calling Prior a wuss, now that's done while wearing my Cub fan gear not my scrub suit.
Speaking about injuries,
Speaking about injuries, Anibal Sanchez just went in for an MRI on his right shoulder. It revealed nothing serious supposedly, but how many times have we heard that? Guess we can now add Girardi to the young arm killer list (just joking)...:)
The Mark Prior Society
The Mark Prior Society chimes in with scathing rebuke over my opinion of the man. Lovely. Tell you what. Let's keep pinning our hopes on Prior overcoming his 1,300 medical and psychological maladies to be an effective pitcher. That strategy has worked SO brilliantly for Jim Hendry the past three seasons, so why not one more. Maybe Prior can get his millionaire daddy to take a break from sipping cognac poolside at the Prior family estate in Southern California to speak to the media on behalf of his soon again. He'll probably tell us that Mark cut his toenails too close and therefore will sit out the 2007 season for fear of getting a nasty case of gettin a nasty infection. Meanwhile he'll have no problem cashing the $3.5 million check from the Cubs.
Prior sucks. And like 90% of diehard Cub fans, I make NO apologies for questioning his injuries and his heart.
Silent Towel: "Prior
Silent Towel:
"Prior sucks."
I wouldn't say that. I would say that he is clearly injury prone. Funny, I remember getting killed for calling Prior injury prone 2 years ago by John Hill. My, my how things have changed.
Good to have you in your new
Good to have you in your new role Cubster.
I often wonder what the hell these injuries mean in laymen terms, such as the long-term likelihood of success via rehab vs. surgery, etc.
Hopefully you can also give us some more realistic timetables than our good buddy Mark O'Neal.
Believe it or not, there's a
Believe it or not, there's a middle ground between believing that Prior is a savior (which nobody, as far as I can see, is doing) and shitting out an endless stream sophomoric and misogynistic bile (that's you).

"The Mark Prior Society chimes in with scathing rebuke over my opinion of the man."
well, your opinion contains no basis of fact other than your gut feeling. people are supposed to take your gut feeling as fact in order to work on your level of handicapping the season and you refuse to look outside of your outlook even though there's no current basis for it even being in the realm.
Manny, I wouldn't call him
Manny, I wouldn't call him injury prone as we have yet to know what injury has kept him form pitching. I don't call being a wimp injury prone.

Trot Nixon = $3M per year
Cliff Floyd = $3M per year
I think we chased the wrong man.
Well first, if you read
Well first, if you read Miles article and it was kind of known before that, Gary Hughes and Hendry have quite a history with Floyd.
But Nixon has also been in a nice, steady decline with quite an injury history. Check out his fangraph and look at his RC/27 and ISO
Yeah, that OBP is nice and his D is a little better, but who knows if he would agree to the same role Floyd would? As far as I know, he's going to get more playing time in Cleveland than Floyd looks to as a Cub.
Believe it or not, Mark
Believe it or not, Mark Prior did pitch last year.
Poorly -- as he battled through rotator cuff tendinitis and resultant injuries listed as shoulder, oblique, side, shoulder again...and again..
Strange to some, he was sent to orthopedists for treatment.
I'd say he's got a shoulder problem, which as our resident experts aver shouldn't bother him at all. Thus he's a wimp to some, injury prone to others. A mental case, or an insurance case.
As for me, I'm encouraged to hear he's been throwing off a mound with no ill effects this winter. Compare that with last year's preseason reports. Things are really looking up. We may actually see both Prior and Wood pitching in spring training this year!

rob g, i agree with your comments about nixon's parralleling floyd's decline. the one thing that makes Nixon unique to the cubs is that HE PLAYS RF.

I saw your comments in the
I saw your comments in the other thread MD hater, but Jones is still here and I know people can't get the image of him rifling throws two feet in front of him out of their head, but he WAS an above average defensive right fielder last year by most measures.
The dude can chase a flyball down just fine and he's absolutely fearless going into the corners and foul territory of the very treacherous right field at Wrigley.
Our outfield defense was rated quite highly by a lot of people who study it objectively and so far the only difference is Soriano versus Pierre. We'll see how that plays out as Pierre had a fine season with the glove last year and Soriano (if he plays CF) will be learning a new position, but he certainly has the athletic skills to handle it. And CF at Wrigley isn't that hard a place to play, it's relatively small and you just have to not kill yourself on the bricks...
CWTP...I agree with your
CWTP...I agree with your comment on post #22. It's a good sign if he is actually throwing from a mound at this point. Last spring training they said Prior was fine but right from the get go Rothschild had him on some funky slowly progressive program that wasn't going to have him throw off a mound for a few additional weeks, so by the time he actually threw off the mound they said he was OK and then almost immediately said he had a shoulder problem. He was obviously injured from the begining but nobody was talking factually. Back then I asked one of the WSox team docs (who is a shoulder specialist), that I ran into at a course, about any gossip about MP, but he hadn't heard anything. Also remember the stuff about his winter viral illness that weakened him. I thought he might have some medical condition that was going to need chronic medication but that was just my speculation from reading between the lines (based on persisting weakness after some viral problem) and I haven't seen anything to lead me in that direction since. My thinking was in the direction the Matt Clement asthma problem, where some of the medications have significant side effects to joints, which I never heard when he was a Cub but it came out during his Red Sox first year. Going from one weakness (Achilles) to another ala Sampson...should we also tell his barber to be less aggressive on his haircuts?
No offense to Cubster, but
No offense to Cubster, but acupuncture is a great modality for sports folk, and I wonder why it isn't used more often. Western medicine is great for ambulatory or trauma-related injury, and pretty much sucks for chronic stuff, which acupuncture excels at.
Rob, agree on the catching
Rob, agree on the catching the ball aspect of the business. however, i see teams taking advantage of our outfield arms. i'd much prefer seeign a guy with a good arm in right to prevent that. granted, soriano should be work in progress, but at least he prevents the oposing team from putting a ton of pressure on our defense. Jacque in right and murton / floyd in left provide other teams the opportunity to be real aggressive on the bases.
eventually, pie in cf and soriano in right should be an upgrade, whenever that happens. however, i'm really not sure how strong soriano's arm is - the fact is he had a great amount of assists last year because oposing teams challenged him.
teams don't run on Jones
teams don't run on Jones every chance they get, his arm is strong enough to at least make you think twice, even though they probably should run cause he'll likely never get it to where it should go.
I've harped on the arms before as well, but I've read enough articles this offseason that have convinced me that we're way overvaluing their effect. It's far more important to get to the ball....
but acupuncture is a great
but acupuncture is a great modality for sports folk
I tried to limit the scope of the article, not intending to make it a medical thesis. Acupuncture has a role as a alternative rx, basically it does no harm so why not try when other things aren't working.
One of the newer things for achilles tendonitis not responding to basic stuff is the ultrasonic shock wave therapy. It's expensive though. The device is similar to what is used to break up kidney stones but is used to disrupt the damaged tendon and stimulate new blood supply which theoretically brings in cells that lead to healing. It was used on Magglio Ordonez for his knee problem which was reported to be avascular necrosis (damaged blood supply locally to bone in the knee). There is not much solid data on it's use for what Ordonez had and that's why he had to go to Vienna, Austria to get it done. There is more data of it's use on plantar fascitis, patellar and achilles tendonitis, and it has a role these days as an alternative before surgery.
I too appreciate the
I too appreciate the article.
I must say though, I am a bit disappointed at being left out. With all of these guest contributors and new additions, I, it seems, have been overlooked. AZ Phil was added when his superior knowledge of minor league baseball et al was discovered. Cubster can provide relevant information about medical issues. This is all wonderful, but my education in bible, religion, and theology is going to waste. I can provide insight into such topics as "what does God think of baseball?" and "what does the bible say about the Cubs?".
In the meantime, I'll bide my time reading all of these wonderful articles written by other people.
my acupuncture story... The
my acupuncture story...
The Angelfan wife and I decided we wanted kids because we hated having free time and money (sarcasm). So after trying for a good 9 months with no luck, someone suggested we try acupuncture as they claimed it worked for them and they have 2 lovely daughters. So we tried it and we're sitting in the doctor's office waiting and looking around and we notice all the pictures on the wall of the women she's helped:
Me: Wow, look at all those twins, we sure about this?
Wife: Um, yeah, we can't even have one, don't worry about it.
Me: Okay, but that's a lot of twins...
Fast forward two months of bi-weekly treatments, some of which they attach electrodes to the needles btw and the wife gets knocked up and lo and behold...TWINS!!!
Now to be fair, we of course were also seeing our regular OBGYN and around the same time, she started prescribing us some fertility drugs, so who knows which one worked. But we like to credit one for Western medicine and one for Eastern medicine.
And a good acupuncturist
And a good acupuncturist will refer you to Western medicine when appropriate. I had a nasty staph infection, the kind the athletes are getting, and an acupuncturist told me if I didn't go see a medical doctor I'd lose my foot.

The Joe...i have you beat - I have an education in bible, religion, and theology, along with having further education in Sociology.

the acupuncturist was also a fully licensed OBGYN here in the States I should add. She certainly wasn't a hack, or at least she charged us like she wasn't a hack.
I even think acupuncture is being covered by some insurances now...
Re: Jacque Jones Jacque
Re: Jacque Jones
Jacque Blacque Schlaque is an asset to the Cubs. He's signed to a good contract and is a quality, proven run producer. He also adds a much needed element of athletcism and speed to the table. If you ignore his wretched throwing ability, he actually is the best right fielder the Cubs have had since the days of Andre Dawson. I'll take what he brings to the table any day of the week.

I complained about Sosa's arm all the time.
He had an incredibly strong arm, but rarely hit the guy he was trying to throw to. He rarely hit the proper cut-off man and often completely missed his target.
On top of that, he took really bad routes to balls.
Especially considering his speed and athleticism, his defense was significantly lacking.

Cubster, I thought Ordonez
I thought Ordonez had microfracture surgery. I'm a physical therapist that works for the company that sponsors the White Sox and many other Chicago sports teams. I heard before his surgery he could not weight bear at all on one leg (therapist that treated him). Anyway, do you specialize at all? I have seen one Achilles tendonitis repair from Dr. Toolan at U of C. She's doing great, so I'm confident in Floyd (sign of things to come I guess).
"Why does God hate the
"Why does God hate the Cubs?" Here is an extremely late response to this question.
Sometime, in the late 19th/early 20th century God was in Heaven boasting about how great Cub fans were. God said to Satan, "Have you seen these fans? They're the best in the world."
Satan challenged God: "Of course they're great, but that's because the Cubs are so good. Take away your blessing and let the Cubs suck. Then we'll see how good of fans they are."
God said, "Very well. I give the Cubs over to you. Make them as pitiful, as Dustiful, as College of Coach-ed, as Alex Gonzales-ed, and as cursed as you can. After that amount of time, we shall see how good these fans really are."
For 100 hundred years, the Devil has been running the Cubs into the ground over a wager. He has often taken human form (as a manager, GM, player, et cetera) and sometimes in the form of a goat (the common symbol for Satan).
The moral is that God doesn't favor the prosperous, nor hate the suffering. Sometimes, God is just gambling with the universe for the hell of it.

I think a strong case can be made that it's not the Judeo-Christian God who is constantly messing with the Cubs, but the Mount Olympus crew. They were much more mischievous and their cruelty was much more the whimsical, pointless variety that we Cub fans know so well. Game 6 was Sophocles in cleats; Odysseus would totally recognize Hawkins-to-Jose-Offerman's-helmet as typical Olympian BS.
Thus ends the only time I have actually put that part of my degree to use since I got it.

MerigoldBowling...Merigold (on Grace) was my favorite bowling lanes when I was growing up!
I don't believe Ordonez had microfx surgery which is used for chondral defects. His problem was avascular necrosis(AVN) in the knee which shouldn't produce a chondral defect, it potentially involves the whole condyle...osteochondritis dessicans is possibly what you were confusing it with? The latter produces an avascular lesion of bone and cartilage in the knee, but is more focal than AVN. Usually the lesion is a cm in size and can be loose or hinged. These can be either excised or fix back in place depending on how large and what location the lesion is in.
I have special interests in joint replacement surgery but my practice covers most areas of ortho and I have partners who cover spine and hand surgery.

I'll save writing in detail about ACL injuries until we see Eric Patterson and rehash the bad ol days with K-Pat who had his ACL reconstructed.
It depends on your symptoms. When the ACL is torn only 1/3 of patients get significant instability. It depends on what activities including athletic stuff you do to provoke symptoms. Often you can have a meniscus tear with the ACL injury and that can be the souce of problems, not the ACL. So it's a more complex decision as to reconstructing the ACL. The ACL doesn't heal well when torn or even stitched together so direct repairs have been abandoned in favor of several reconstructive options involving different graft options such as patellar tendon or hamstrings. Autograft means the graft is selected from the patient which is the safest approach but there are cadaver (Allograft) graft choices as well...just hope your "donor" is disease free as thats the controversy for that type of graft.

Thanks Phil, I had the Salt River chart, but based on that, it looks like they hardly play and was not on the Surprise on 9/28...I assume they do not really want fans there anyway? Do you know if they play today, Friday or Sat? Sorry to be a pain, but I am only here until Sunday.
John Arguello at Cubs Den with observations & photos from Tuesday's Cubs instructs intrasquad game:
Guess which one is Vogelberg
Bear fans are so impatient! They signed that great All-American QB out of Columbia--Luckman--just a little while ago, didn't they? Now it's the Eagles' turn. After all, it's been almost ten years since McNabb.
" . . . when he signed Edwin Jackson?"
He makes a lot of moves, people remember the ones that pan out. Kind of like MJ's approach to shooting. When it all shakes out, you get a formidable 25-man roster.
For the rookie hazing "dress up" day, the Mariners made him dress like the Farley Chippendales dancer.

The Warehouse Group does not expect the margin pressure affecting its core Red Sheds business to persist, chief executive Mark Powell says.
At its annual meeting in Auckland yesterday the company said that margin pressure meant adjusted net profit for the first half of its current financial year was expected to fall below the $46.7 million reported for the first half of the previous year.
Previously, New Zealand's biggest listed retailer - which also operates Warehouse Stationery and Noel Leeming - was expecting first-half adjusted net profit to be about the same as the first half of the past year.
Full-year adjusted net profit is still expected to exceed the previous year's $73.7 million, but by less than expected, the company said.
Powell said the Red Sheds had been affected by a mild winter and changes to new ranges of products, including whiteware.
The company is also investing to refurbish Red Sheds stores and boost its online presence.
"You combine that with a systemic decline in CDs and DVDs and it almost became like a combination of issues that led to some margin percentage decline," Powell said.
But he said the company did not expect the margin pressure to continue into the summer. Early signs of Christmas trading had been encouraging, he added.
