NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony motioned for Kenyon Martin to run a pick-and-roll, and yes, Kevin Garnett had seen that tired movie before. Garnett could have followed Martin's hard dive to the basket, but he knew what more than 19,000 fellow witnesses inside Madison Square Garden knew: Anthony was going to honor his basic basketball instinct. Melo wouldn't be Melo if he didn't launch another shot.

Tollywood Actor RajniKanth, RajniKanth Profile, RajniKanth Biography, RajniKanth Movies List, RajniKanth Films, RajniKanth Upcoming Movies, RajniKanth Family Photos, RajniKanth Videos, songs
Rajinikanth History
Rajinikanth was born on December 12 1949 in Karnataka, India.His parents are Ramabai and ramoji Rao Gaekwad.Rajinikanth was fourth child to his parents.Shivaji Rao Gaekwad was Rajinikanth's original name.His mother was dead when he was at the age of five years.Rajinikanth had his schooling at two different places.They are Acharya Patasala in Bangalore,Vivekananda Balak Sangh which is a unit of RamaKrishna Misson.Mother tounge of Rajinikanth is Marathi.
Rajinikanth : Before entering into movies
Rajinikanth did many odd jobs before he entered film industry.He worked as bus conductor for some time in Bangalore for Karnataka state transport corporation and during this time he gave many stage plays and then slowly started his film career.
Rajinikanth is now the Heart beat to the Tamil Nadu people.He is even treated like god in that state.His market is world wide and he has fans all over the world.Rajinikanth is the highly remunerated hero in the entire Asia continent.
Rajinikanth is a very good person by his nature too.As he know the pain of troubles he faced he started many social services and serving the people a lot.Such a kind of persons are very rear these days.
Rajinikanth : Introduction into Film Field
Rajinikanth was introduced by famous director K.Balachander in movie as co-artist.Right from then he acted many roles and then turned from an co-artist to a Biggest SuperStar in the world and is ruling the world in the film industry.It has been 25 years he entered the film industry.Even the silver screen which saw many actors amazes by seeing his action.
In his first movie Apoorva raagangal,Rajinikanth's character is only for 15 minutes and he will die in the movie at last.And so no one reconized him in that movie as it is a really very small character.Also the film was a flopp.No one at that time thought that this person will become the most popular hero in the entire Asia.
It is a very interesting incident,how Rajinikanth got his first chance.K.Balachander saw Rajinikanth in the film institute and asked him to meet him in his office the next day.When Rajinikanth,in his style,walked into Balachander's office the next day,he was surprized to listen that he was seleted for his first movie.
K.Balaji's movie Billa turned Rajinikanth into a full fledged hero.Later many hits came from him like Pokkiri Raja, Thanikkattu Raja, Naan Mahaan Alla.And later in Moondru Mugham he played a triple role.Nettrikkam is also a milestone in his life.
Rajinikanth is famous for his comic encounters with snakes, repeated umpteen times.He also acted in some Bollywood movies as a hero but he could not continue there long due to hectic work in the south movies.He also acted in the telugu movies like pedarayudu,muttu,basha,arunachalam,narasimha,chandramukhi and the latest blockbuster in the tollywood is Sivaji.
Rajinikanth is a religous person too."I was brought up by the Ramakrishna Mission and it's from there that I have inherited this religious frame of mind," he keeps saying even now in his public meetings.
Rajinikanth is married to Lata,an English literature graduate,from an Iyengar family in 1980.He has two daughters.Lata is a singer also.Couple are involved in much charity by helping the poor and needy.
Though RajiniKanth is having much name and fame ego and starry airs are unknown to him.That what makes him the most popular not only as an actor but as a kind person.There is a very big list of his awards and rewards but among them "Padma Bhushan" is the ultimate.Really Indians must be proud to have a such a great person in India.

In eutherian mammals, fluid secretion is essential for intestinal function. This is driven by electrogenic Cl– secretion, which involves a NaK2Cl cotransporter (NKCC1) in the enterocyte basolateral membrane and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in the apical membrane. However, in the possum ileum, NKCC1 expression is low and secretagogues stimulate electrogenic HCO3– secretion driven by a basolateral NaHCO3 cotransporter (pNBCe1). Here we investigated whether electrogenic anion secretion occurs in possum duodenum and jejunum and determined the role of CFTR in possum intestinal anion secretion. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and forskolin stimulated a large increase in ileal short-circuit current (Isc), consistent with electrogenic HCO3– secretion, but had little effect on the duodenal and jejunal Isc. Furthermore, 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid (NPPB) and N-(2-naphthalenyl)-[(3,5-dibromo-2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)methylene]glycine hydrazide (GlyH101) inhibited cloned possum CFTR in cultured cells and the PGE2-stimulated ileal Isc, implicating CFTR in ileal HCO3– secretion. Consistent with this, CFTR is expressed in the apical membrane of ileal crypt and lower villous cells, which also express pNBCe1 in the basolateral membrane. In contrast, duodenal and jejunal CFTR expression is low relative to the ileum. Jejunal pNBCe1 expression is also low, whereas duodenal and ileal pNBCe1 expression are comparable. All regions have low NKCC1 expression. These results indicate that cAMP-dependent electrogenic Cl– secretion does not occur in the possum small intestine because of the absence of CFTR and NKCC1. Furthermore, CFTR functions as the apical anion conductance associated with HCO3– secretion and its distribution limits electrogenic HCO3– secretion to the ileum.
This work was supported by a University of Otago Research Grant and grants from the Foundation for Research Science and Technology, the Animal Health Board NZ Inc. and the National Research Centre for Possum Biocontrol.

Texans Eye $270 Million Powerball For Drawing On Saturday, May 11

The odds of winning are around one in 170 million, but hey, someone's got to win, right?
There are stories across the state of people heading to blood banks to donate blood after Wednesday night's deadly explosion at the fertilizer plant in West, TX.
And there are more opportunities to donate blood today, and again tomorrow in Lufkin.
The news of the killings in Kaufman is making national headlines, and causing courthouses across the country to question security, and in some cases provide extra security for public officials.
Kaufman is about 135 miles away from Nacogdoches. Two months ago, Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse was shot and killed on his way from the parking lot to his office. The investigation is ongoing. This past Saturday, Hasse's boss, Kaufman County DA, Mike McLelland and his wife, were shot and killed inside their home.
Nacogdoches County is reacting, and ordering some security assessments as we speak.
Have you ever listened to a morning radio show where you were informed that the President is coming to Lufkin, and this is the first time you have heard about this, even though you are religious when it comes to local headlines?
We've got plenty of courageous athletes right here in East Texas. We especially love watching Lufkin and Nac athletes strive for the best each Friday night during the fall. We love high school football! Some of those athletes look up to the pros, and those pros will be honored this summer.
Before yelling "FORE" on a Lufkin or Nacogdoches golf course, you may want to get the soil composition, disposition, of the ground you are standing on.
Air travel just got more exciting, and believe me, when you get the rundown of what's acceptable to now bring on board, you have to wonder if the panel discussion wasn't carried out over cocktails.
Students at Stephen F Austin today are getting attention today as they gather in front of the Baker Pattillo Student Center to draw attention to sex-trafficking and slave labor.
Students are standing for 27 hours to draw attention to the 27 million people world wide, who are impacted by modern-day slavery.
Now, this important message about women using firearms from the Vice President of our country, Mr. Joe Biden.
Due to the "Uniform Monday Holiday Act" enacted in 1971, Washington and Lincoln's birthday were combined into "President's Day".
Here's some little known facts regarding the people that "managed" our Country's affairs.
Kimberly McCarthy, who was convicted and sentenced to death for the robbery and murder of Dorothy Booth in 1997, will be executed by the state of Texas Tuesday night. She will be the first woman since 2010 to be put to death in the United States.

Parramatta Eels squad forced to front club's annual general meeting
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- May 09, 2012
SOME wanted to know why expensive recruit Chris Sandow had been dumped to NSW Cup.
Others labelled the Eels style of football "too Melbourne Storm-like" and "boring".
One fan stood on the steps of Parramatta Leagues Club, broke down and cried before she pulled back her shirt to reveal a pair of giant Eels tattoos on her front and back. Most notably, there were repeated calls for former player and coach Jason Taylor to replace Stephen Kearney.
In the end, 300 long-suffering Parramatta fans were given the rare chance to ask the players why their start to the 2012 NRL season had sadly become the club's worst in 52 years. Sure, the supporters will wake up this morning knowing Parramatta are still anchored at the bottom of the ladder.
But, said skipper Nathan Hindmarsh, hopefully they could now realise the frustrations the players experienced, and how they, too, were desperate to stop the rot.
Hindmarsh said the biggest concern that kept being raised was straight-forward.
"Obviously where we're sitting on the table and why," Hindmarsh said. "And that's the question we are all trying to answer in our own way. We're training, doing the extra work, extra video, extra conditioning sessions.
"A good season for us will be to make the eight. That's what every team in the NRL wants. To finish in the eight is a OK season.
"At the moment all we want to do is play good footy week in and week out. I think we can turn it around."
One thing Hindmarsh made clear was under-siege Kearney was the man to lead Parramatta out of the horrible mess.
Kearney refused to speak to the media as he emerged from the club just after 9pm, looking like a man completely lost for answers and the weight of the world on his broad shoulders.
"People don't see the work (Kearney) does and the game plans he gives us," Hindmarsh said.
"It's up to us to stick to the game plans. The bits of rugby league when we've played well, that's when we're sticking to the game plan. The team gives him our support, 100 per cent, no questions asked. There was passion (tonight). They want a team that's winning, and we understand their frustration. As players we want to win games as well. We took their questions on board."
Origin selector: Pick your NSW State of Origin team and win
Not all supporters could see the light at the end of the tunnel, including Michael Pritchard, a fan for 37 years who said: "I can't see Kearney keeping his job if we don't win at least half our games. We need to cut our losses. And for me, Jason Taylor is the man."
George Abouhamad, 24, said the Eels needed to throw the ball around, and keep high-profile No.7 purchase Chris Sandow in first grade.
Every player was forced to attend the AGM - a first for all the squad - and the hope is the meet-and-greet will have the desired effect when they travel to Canberra on Sunday in search of just their second win in 10 games. Some in the room were still baffled why the players would be humiliated by being asked to turn up.

The Supreme Court's opinion in Buckman Co. v. Plaintiffs' Legal Committee, 531 U.S. 341, 349-50 (2001), recognizes that any attempt by a plaintiff to enforce the FDCA is preempted by federal law, because Congress entrusted all such enforcement efforts to the sole discretion of the FDA. In 2010, the Ninth Circuit's PhotoMedex opinion held that Buckman not only private attempts to enforce the FDCA, but also any attempt by a plaintiff to prove that a medical device manufacturer violated the FDCA because such an attempt would require the court to usurp or second-guess the FDA's enforcement decisions – in the absence of a determination of such a violation by the FDA itself. PhotoMedex, Inc. v. Irwin, 601 F.3d 919, 928 (9th Cir. 2010). Thus, PhotoMedex clearly suggested that Buckman would not prevent a plaintiff from proving an FDCA violation where the FDA had already determined that such a violation had occurred.
But the Ninth Circuit's Stengel opinion, issued earlier this year, muddied the waters. In Stengel v. Medtronic, Inc., 676 F.3d 1159 (9th Cir. 2012), plaintiffs sought to avoid Buckman preemption of their state law failure-to-warn claim premised on FDA regulations because there the FDA had already determined that the defendant had violated the FDCA. Thus, the plaintiffs argued, the Court could safely find an FDCA violation without preempting or undermining the FDA's enforcement authority. The Ninth Circuit, however, rejected this argument, noting that Buckman was concerned not only with judicial second-guessing of the FDA's determinations, but also with avoiding the "extraneous pull" that state-law claims would exert on the FDA's Congressionally-mandated exclusive jurisdiction. In short, the Stengel Court seemed to withdraw the "prior FDA decision" exception to Buckman preemption it had recognized in PhotoMedex only two years earlier.
The Ninth Circuit had a chance to revisit the scope of Buckman preemption in its recent Pom Wonderful opinion. Pom Wonderful LLC v. Coca-Cola Co., 679 F.3d 1170 (9th Cir. 2012). Therein, the Court held that Pom Wonderful's Lanham Act challenges to the naming and labeling of Coca-Cola's "Pomegranate Blueberry Flavored Blend of 5 Juices" were preempted under PhotoMedex. Interestingly, the Court's characterization of PhotoMedex appeared to broaden its focus to accommodate the Stengel result by emphasizing PhotoMedex's concern for "the authority Congress entrusted to the FDA" and " the regulatory regime put in place by the FDA."
This gloss on PhotoMedex allowed the Pom Wonderful Court to find preemption regardless of the presence or absence of FDA enforcement efforts (though it was careful to retain discretion to amend its view in future opinions depending on "the particular circumstances of the case"). Thus, though Coca-Cola appeared to have complied with FDA regulations, it was not "mere compliance with the FDCA or with FDA regulations" that preempted Pom Wonderful's claim. Nor did it matter that the FDA had not undertaken any enforcement action against Coca-Cola. What really mattered was that it was the FDA – not the civil courts – that was entitled to act or refrain in these areas, as it saw fit. In other words, the Court rested preemption primarily on deference to the FDA's exclusive authority, and resulting expertise, to regulate the matters entrusted to its oversight. Indeed, the Court denied there was any room for civil litigation of the matters at all: "In the circumstances here, the appropriate forum for Pom's complaints is the FDA."
The reliance on PhotoMedex for complete abstention from litigation touching FDA-regulated matters is emblematic of the Court's subtle expansion of that case's import. It is not a case about waiting for the FDA to make a determination before allowing the matters under its regulatory purview to be introduced into a civil claim. Rather, "PhotoMedex teaches that [civil litigation] may not be used as a vehicle to usurp, preempt, or undermine FDA authority" and therefore "courts must generally prevent private parties from undermining, though private litigation, the FDA's considered judgments." Thus is Stengel reconciled, not to the fact-specific inquiry in PhotoMedex, but rather to its overarching deference to the Congressionally-mandated exclusivity of the FDA's purview.

Bats and skateboarders have something special in common. They both use inertia to land their tricks which, in a bat's case, means landing upside down.

Named after King Midas, the Myotis midastactus golden bat that calls Bolivia's tropical savanna home was recently determined to be its own unusual species.
"Apparently it isn't related to camouflage, because two other species of Myotis that occur in the same area are consistently darker and use similar [daytime] roosts," Oswaldo Crus Foundation wildlife biologist Ricardo Moratelli told National Geographic.
The bat's curious coloring may be a result of its particular insect diet. Read the rest
Leaving the house this morning, a neighbor spotted a tiny bat huddled on our stoop.

In this video for Science Friday, bat biologist Nickolay Hristov takes a thermal camera inside Carlsbad Caverns to see what bats do in the dark when nobody's watching.
In his footage, a blazing yellow blob on the cave ceiling—which the video's narrator likens to a pool of lava—is actually a mass of bats, packed closely together and hanging upside down. Here, Hristov can see, in person, the very social world of bats, playing out as though he weren't even there.
It's a great video, and well worth watching.

Xenophobia is neither the fear of Xeni, nor of Xena. Rather, it's more about knee-jerk mistrust, dislike, and hatred for people who aren't part of your group. We've come to associate it with not liking people from other countries, but it applies to smaller-scale, less formal tribalism, as well.
Over at the Scientific American blogs, science writer and biologist Rob Dunn talks about some of the theories for why something as seemingly antisocial as xenophobia could have been beneficial to our ancestors—at least under certain circumstances. The key, he says, might be disease. Not cooperating between groups, refusing to share resources, and generally going out of your way to avoid strangers makes sense if those strangers are infected with something that could kill you.
If I'm understanding Dunn correctly, the research and theorizing on this topic isn't saying xenophobia is good. Nor is it saying that all xenophobia grows out of a conscious, reasonable fear of disease. It's more like, the times when xenophobia did turn out to be coincidentally beneficial happened to reward people who were more likely to pass on xenophobic tendencies to their offspring (whether those tendencies were genetic or cultural is hard to say). Thus, the tendency continues, even in situations where it's actively detrimental. And Dunn points to an interesting recent study that showed deadly white-nose syndrome is causing xenophobic-esque changes in the behavior of bat populations.

Although it looked as though the little brown bats and several other species might soon face extinction, at least in some regions and perhaps even in North America, the little brown bats have begun to rebound in some places, albeit modestly.

Skip to comments.Outsourcing Blues? Have a Heart!(Uninsured American worker in India for heart surgery)
Posted on 09/30/2004 7:19:44 AM PDT by fight_truth_decay
WASHINGTON: India's great outsourcing debate with the United States may have just moved from software to 'heartware.'
Defeated by exorbitant health care costs in the United States, a North Carolina worker flew into New Delhi over the weekend for a heart surgery on the cheap.
Howard Staab was wheeled into the Operation Room at Escorts Heart Institute at 9 a.m. on Monday listening to "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou," with dhanyavaad (Thank You) written on his chest with a purple marker.
He was out in the Recovery Room by 3.30 p.m. with "every best case scenario plan implemented," according to his partner Maggi Grace. A team of doctors led by the well-known cardiologist Dr Naresh Trehan fixed a broken mitral valve in his heart.
The cost of the procedure and after care in India less than $ 20,000, compared to the $ 200,000 Staab was asked to fork out in the US.
Although 'health tourism' and outsourcing of medical procedures has been on the horizon for some time, this is one of the first instances of an American worker seeking out India for high-end medical treatment.
"This is happening because of the prohibitive cost of health care in the US," Dr Vinay Malhotra, a Seattle cardiologist said in an interview while assessing the milestone event. "I don't see the medical profession here objecting to this, but if this becomes a trend, the insurance companies could well be up in arms."
Howard Staab's health woes began in July this year when doctors discovered a broken heart valve after a routine physical. A 53-year carpenter with an active lifestyle, Staab never had and could not afford --health insurance. Some 45 million Americans do not have health insurance, which can now run up to $ 500 per month per individual.
When he shopped around post-diagnosis, insurance companies quoted astronomical premiums for policies with limited benefits because it was a pre-existing condition.
"I've always thought that the insurance companies are the real terrorists of our country," Staab said in an interview to a local paper later. "They put terror in everyone's mind. You don't have insurance? You could have a catastrophic accident or illness."
But with no insurance cover, Staab and his partner Grace began exploring other avenues for affordable treatment. Around this time Grace's son Bryan Maxwell, a medical student at Stanford, had returned to the US after spending the summer in India Maxwell and his professor from Stanford, Dr. Sakti Srivastava, connected the couple to Dr Trehan, the New Delhi cardiologist who now has a fabled reputation after returning from New York a decade back to set up practice in India.
When they landed in New Delhi in the early hours of Saturday, they were received at the airport by Dr Trehan's staff who scooted them past hundreds of passengers to get them through customs.
"Everyone is so incredible. No worries. Howard is waited on like royalty," Maggi Grace recorded on the website www.howardsheart.com , which chronicles their Indian healthcare experience.
According to Dr Malhotra, India is a relative newcomer to the healthcare tourism from the U.S. Americans have been trickling into specialized hospitals in Thailand and Singapore even as healthcare costs have been rising fast enough to cause cardiac arrests among the working class and senior citizens here.
A report released by a non-profit outfit Families USA this week said insurance premiums have gone up by 36 per cent in the last four years and are rising three times faster than workers' wages.
"For a blue collar worker earning just above minimum wages, what is the option?" asks Dr Malhotra. "India will become the destination as more and more lay people know about this."
Jennifer Morcone, a spokeswoman with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said, "If you travel outside this nation, the same protections that are built into the health-care delivery system here may not apply."
Many people have told Staab he was irresponsible not to have had health insurance in the first place, Grace said. Now, he can't get coverage for his pre-existing condition. But other than wishing that he didn't have heart problems, "he does not have any regrets," she said.
Let's start by putting a cap on monetary awards and damages for malpractice suits, and ESPECIALLY caps on how attorneys may profit from malpractice suits, so that doctors can actually afford malpractice insurance again - that might bring down the costs to within reason.
Just wondering where many Indian heart surgeons get their training?
And where the son of "Grace" is getting the funds for medical school at Stanford?
Try as I may- I just cannot join these people in their anger against US capitalism.
People act like health insurance pays for everything. HA! We pay monthly premiums. We also put money aside in a tax free account for medical/dental expenses. We also pay $20 when we go to the doctor. We pay about 1/2 of our prescription expense. We pay most of it when we get a crown. I got one recently and it was $750 and insurance didn't pay half. When my kids have surgery I have to pay up front for a lot of it and wait for insurance to repay. And insurance pays less and less all the time. I don't go whining to the US Gov to pay our med. expenses. We just budget and pay it ourselves.
Might not part of the problems be caused by the insurance middlemen. They suck BILLIONS out of the healthcare industry every year.
Go study abroad, young man. Much cheaper and possibly better.
Jennifer Morcone, a spokeswoman with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said, "If you travel outside this nation, the same protections that are built into the health-care delivery system here may not apply."
Good joke, using health-care abroad is better than no care at all and India has some real centers of excellence. BTW, other developed nations have longer life expectancy than USA, despite lower prices.
Bangkok hospitals get pretty decent ratings from the U.S. Embassy Thailand. Had a wisdom tooth pulled there for $25.00 by an excellent dentist, in the chair for less than 5 minutes, in and out of the office in 15 minutes. Antibiotics and codeine OTC at the nearby pharmacy for a few bucks.
Agreed. Let them be next on the list.
Yeah, John Edwards isn't standing by, watching over the doctor's shoulder and waiting to file suit on your behalf. ;)
Hmmm.... I wouldn't need catastrophic health insurance if I just paid out-of-pocket for care from India...
Insurance Middlemen?
Call them what they are -- TRIAL LAWYER SCUMBAGS~!
I forgot to mention above that the Bangkok dentist was a vastly better experience (faster, more skilled, less painful) than having the other 3 wisdoms removed in the States (2 by a U.S. Navy dentist, one by an expensive "dental surgeon").
I've heard other excellent reports from people who've used Bangkok hospitals ... and of course they have pretty nurses.
There are some excellent dentists in Poland, the savings can pay for the ticket, expenses and more. I did it.
Ahhhh! Now the truth comes out! ;)
Where did you get the info on life expectancy?
Last report I read, Indian men had a life expectancy of about 65, lower than American men.
I really do not think they have "anger", I think they did their research and made a choice. Their bio does not make them sound like they have ever lived "high on the hog" and seem pretty self sufficient in providing for their own needs.
But no one can dispute the cost of medical care in this country, no matter what political button one chooses to wear. Politicians talk the talk but.. (The End).
Nothing new - Europeans are doing this all the time - one of their favorite vacation/surgery destinations is Thailand; next you will see China become a favorite for blood analysis, radiologist readings, - the whole nine yards.
Can't afford $50 a month? Health insurance is not expensive, free healthcare plans are though.
That might be one reason, but not the only reason. Thailand, as I mentioned above, has a very high quality, low cost healthcare system. But Thailand isn't socialist, it's a parliamentary monarchy. The cost of living there is much lower across-the-board than in Western countries.
The same would certainly be true in India.
I'd suspect a large part of our U.S. costs are due to litigation and "free health care" to those who shouldn't be getting it.
Last November I needed an new bridge and my local dentist
quoted $9600. I flew to Budapest, and got it done for
$2000 including airfare, lodging for 10 days, meals and
incidental expenses. Like a mini vacation.
I wrote "developed countries" like Western Europe, Canda, Japan.
Err India used to be a socialist democracy till the early 90s-it's well & truly on it's way to becoming a free market one,albeit it at it's own pace.Moreover in India ,most people in India go to private hospitals for major medical treatment,not state facilities.The institute mentioned here(Escorts) is just one of many private institutions.The cost of living & education in India is very low(the main logic behind Outsourcing) when compared to the West so any surgery in India will be far cheaper.A lot Brits,Africans,Rich Arabs & Indians living abroad are now flocking to such institutions for quality healthcare at a fraction of the cost it is overseas.Also more & more private multi-speciality hospitals are opening up (some run by Hindu,Buddhist,Christian Religious groups) ,all of which are offeriing such packages to lure foreign money,which in fact helps the Overall healtcare system in India & both Central & State Governments have steadily relaxed restrictions over the past 25 years to encourage this .
Holy mackerel - send me the details - I need a new 6 crown bridge costing over $4000 and my insurance only covers $1500 - I'm retired and $2500 doesn't come easy.
"I've always thought that theINSURANCE COMPANIES are the real terrorists of our country," Staab said in an interview to a local paper later. "They put TERROR in everyone's mind. You don't have insurance? You could have a CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT OR ILLNESS catastrophic accident or illness."
Well DUH!!!
That's WHY you get insurance,Homer.
I don't feel sorry for this guy's plight. If he worked hard as he claims, then he should have been able to buy a miminium insurance plan and not GAMBLE that some where down the line his health would fail or he, as a carpenter, would cut off a finger or two.
Bet this North Carolina whiner has two vehicles, one a big ole gas guzzling truck to pull his bass boat on his vacations. Not to mention a couple of color TVs, cable (or satellite).
He had the income. He just rather the other guy (or duh guvmint) to take care of the "boring" stuff.
Professional liability isn't the only issue here. If our cardiovascular surgeons were making $35-40K annually and registered nurses drawing $5.00/hr I'm sure our healthcare cost would drop considerably. In all probability this "carpenter" was making more per year than the surgeon that performed his surgery. Ever wonder why our healthcare system is loaded with indian healthcare professionals...MONEY, Money they can't make in their native country.
The surgeon's bill is only part of the bill--a minor part. It wouldn't matter if the surgeon worked for free. What these big bills are for is the hospital infrastructure. Our hospitals are being hit on all fronts--and the charges are passed to the patient, one way or another. Of course, the option is always there for the hospital to simply give up and close its doors.
"Professional liability isn't the only issue her"
My wife was almost killed by doctors... mistaken diagnosis. Luckily one MD caught it and said he didn't know how her problem was missed by so many before him.
Professional liability is the MAIN issue here!
"If our cardiovascular surgeons were making $35-40K annually and registered nurses drawing $5.00/hr "
I agree that doctor salaries are lower there in general. Though I doubt if you could find a cardiovascular surgeon in India who makes < 35k a year. Remember the operation cost around 10-15k in India. Many cardiac surgeons perform more than 1 operations a day. Just calculate from that what the guy makes in a year (even if the surgeon makes a 1/3rd of the 15k ). I know as a fact that several top surgeons own their pvt choppers in India.
The avg physician in India is paid a lot less compared to his american counterpart but the people who work there in the top pvt hospitals are making a fortune. Thats where most foreign medi-tourists end up anyway.
I have lived in India/US as well as Canada. Here is the comparison between what a root canal costs in 3 countries. (all figures in US$)
In the US I had to pay insurance and it still cost me $1200 (40% copay).
In Canada I had no insurance and I had to pay around $900..
In India they have no concept of medical insurance and I paid $200.
I thought the service was equivalent in all 3 countries since the proceedure is standardized and the equipment is too. Though I thought the US facility was the most "assembly-line" of all three.
I'm very concerned about our health care system. An acquaintance of ours was telling my husband about a client of his who moved for a short while to Italy. While moving into his apt, he experienced chest pains, and became convinced he needed to seek help. He was hoping to just get back on a plane to the U.S to be treated, but could not fly with his heart condition. It was too extreme. So he headed for the hospital, where he underwent a bipass operation, and stayed in the hospital for over a week. When it came time to pay the bill, he was sick about what he assumed would be an impossible debt. The total came to $2,000, which he charged to his credit card and walked away.
When I heard that true life experience, I was just sick. Our health care system is truly broken. How in the world does it get fixed?

From zombies to ghosts, THR reports that Warm Bodies' Cory Hardrict has joined Legendary Pictures' sci-fi thriller Spectral, starring James Badge Dale and Pacific Rim's Max Martini.
Nic Mathieu is directing the film, which centers on a special-ops team that fights supernatural beings who've taken over New York City.
Ian Fried wrote the original treatment, with the George Nolfi-penned screenplay getting a rewrite from John Gatins.
As previously reported, the premise of the project is centered on a modern-day, militaristic and gritty approach to fighting the supernatural. Sources say the pitch has been described as a darker and more serious take on a Ghostbusters-like story, with a plot that revolves around a special ops group formed to bring down evil ghosts that have taken over Manhattan.
Legendary's Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni will produce, with Jillian Share and Guy Riedel serving as executive producers. Sophia Sikora will also oversee the film for Legendary.

Opus is a work of stunning power, virtuosity and poetry.
Fourteen acrobats and a string quartet celebrate the music of Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich.
Shostakovich's quartets are by turns intimate, passionate, lyrical, ironic and deeply moving personal testimonies by one of the 20th Century's greatest composers. In Opus, three of his quartets form the musical and dramatic spine of a red-hot fusion of extreme acrobatics, lyrical movement and group choreography.
Opus begins from a solo performer suspended on a rope serenaded by musicians, then moves through rapidly alternating scenes of dislocated stillness and violent explosions into geometries of acrobats intersected by extreme physicality to arrive at exquisitely detailed and nuanced choreographies of acrobats flying, balancing and landing.
Opus explores the complex relationships between the individual and the group, between the march of history and the dictates of the heart and between the tragic and the comic. This is groundbreaking work of intense power. A melding of music and bodies at the highest level.

I hope all had a great Thanksgiving. I apologize for the long absence (long enough to accumulate 472 posts) but things have been very busy lately. My most recent WOW was my "back" portion of my 5-way split routine (chest and neck flexion, back and neck extension, shoulders/upper traps, arms, legs and abs). I did the following at UE on Black Friday after all the client workouts had been done.
Chin Ups
Nautilus Pullover with SS retrofits
MedX Row with SS retrofit
Lumbar Extension on SS Systems Pulldown
Neck Extension on SS Systems Neck
I have been allowing 5 days between sessions. My other two workouts were done at Fike and were as follows:
Legs/Abs: Calf Exercise, Leg Extension, Leg Curl, Leg Press, Hammer Clam-shell Abdominal- All sets done to simple failure. All movements felt good except for leg curl which had a very poor strength curve (lost range of motion with each rep).
Chest/Neck Flexion: Hammer Chest Press, Cable Chest Fly, Hammer Incline Press, Manual Neck Flexion- Each weighted movement was done with a heavy weight and then a drop-set with about 40% less weight. The neck flexion was a manual done with 10 second cadence for 4 reps.
Due to extreme business in the medical side of life, I have not had time to include a topic with this posting. Please post your WOW's and continue any discussions in a professional and courteous manner. Once things settle down, I will be able to generate more substantive posts.
Post your WOWs and your thoughts.

Free Yacht Crew Or Free Crew Training, Its Revolutionary Whichever Way You Look At It!!
The bluewater one account is taking the yachting industry by storm...
It is a creative product whereby captains subscribe account for a cost effective monthly fee/ annual payment to recruit as many crew members as they require over a 12 month period and receive training vouchers equal to that amount in return... whatever way you look at it, it is free crew recruitment or free crew training...
The one account means that captains no longer need to spend on average 75% of one crew members monthly wage to find the perfect candidate. Money that is spent finding the perfect crew member to fit the team is now invested in the future careers of the crew onboard.

RE: Francis B. Smith
I will be happy to transfer ownership for Francis Smith over to you. Gale and Gates Cemetery is very difficult to find if you are not from Royalston or know the back roads of Royalston. My mother and many of mother's ancestors were from Royalston. Several of my ancestors are buried at Gale and Gates so that is how I know where the cemetery is. The cemetery is on a dirt road out in the sticks of Royalston and the entrance is not marked at all. Unless you know where it is you would easliy drive right past the entrance. You can not see the cemetery from the road. You need a four wheel drive vehicle to drive up to the cemetery or it is a short walk up into the cemetery. If you need asistance in finding the cemetery I would be happy to help you out with locating it, just let me know.

Memorial Photo of Edgar L. Blackinton
Hi Tom,
I found the photo of Edgar L. Blackinton's family, Memorial Grave #15564585 that you had taken. There was a lot of good info I found from this photo. Thanks ever so much for adding it on. I was able to make several connections except for Robert R. Joyce 1916-1991 & his wife Mary McC., 1918-1987. By the difference in age an educated guess would be that Robert R. Joyce is the son of Robert E. Joyce 1883-1932 & Caroline Elizabeth (Blackinton) Joyce 1890-1952. Can you verify this for me. Could you add this photo to Edgar's wife, Malinda A. (Treen) Blackinton aka Linnie 1867-1935 & Byron F. Blackinton's wife, Clara, 1865-1943 & Robert E. Joyce 1883-1932.

Memorial Transfers
Just letting you know, I went ahead and transferred all of the Walker, Sabin, and Gillett memorials that I had created. Some that you had mentioned, I did not have. I know that there is a memorial for Lydia Walker Jenks, I added a picture for her. Someone else created the memorial.
I know I sent enough to keep you busy for a while... haha. I am sure they are all related to each other some how.
I am glad I was able to help you! If you need me to go hunting down some more ancestors, drop me a note. I do not mind at all helping....glad to do it. Take care!

RE: Harris Photos - Sexton Cemetery
Just letting you know, I took a quick glance through Saybrook cemetery and found some Walkers. Not the names you mentioned, but thought that they may be a relation...however one of the people I got, I looked up info on and it stated his father was Elisha/Elish Walker. It was Charles Walker born Dec. 21, 1827. The mother's name was Harriet Sodin. Not sure if the same Elisha, but thought that I would mention it. I plan on going back and taking some time there. I am sure I over looked quite a bit. Like I said, it was a quick run through. Hope they are a relation! Let me know. Take care!

RE: Harris Photos - Sexton Cemetery
You are very welcome, glad to be able to help! As far as the Walkers, I did not see them in the cemetery. Do you know for sure they are buried there? I also checked the Ashtabula Genealogy site that also transcribed the cemetery and did not see them listed. If they are in the Sexton Cemetery, I would have to assume they are unmarked. There are a few cemeteries in the Saybrook/Geneva area. If I can figure out who holds the records for the cemeteries, I can see if they can help me locate them? Can not promise anything, but willing to give it a shot. I looked up Julia's death record on familysearch.org's pilot search and it stated that she died 21 Jan 1907 in Saybrook, is that correct? If you have any dates, that might help as well. Let me know! Take care and hope you had a good weekend.

Knowing the ends for which we live
"One of the great problems of mankind is that we suffer from a poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance. The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually We have allowed the means by which we live to outdistance the ends for which we live." Martin Luther King Jr., in "Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?" Harper & Row, Publishers, 1967.
Forty-seven years ago, nearing the end of his life's pilgrimage, the Rev. Doctor Martin Luther King Jr., in the work cited above, was challenging humanity to confront the evils of racism, militarism and poverty, suggesting that our opportunity to do so may be slipping away, and that our failure to do so would lead to world chaos.
He called for spiritual, moral and social renewal. He warned of the folly of emphasizing the means by which we live, to the neglect of the ends for which we live. Citing portions of I John 4 ("Let us love one another: for love is of God: and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us."), Dr. King expressed hope that this attitude would become the spirit of the day, crossing over nationalistic and even religious lines. He warned that continuing to worship gods of hatred and retaliation could lead to humanity's self-destruction. Jesus, the Lord whom Dr. King worshiped, extended love and forgiveness even to his crucifiers (Luke 23:34). Dr. King challenged us all by his words and example to reach out inclusively to all humanity.
This weekend as we celebrate the life of Dr. King, there will be and should be a focus on his political and social accomplishments, their legacies in laws and transformed lives, and the degree to which life has changed for good or ill since his time among us.
My hope is that there would also be for each of us a time of spiritual reflection on the ends for which we live, the moral imperatives that shape those ends, and our capacity to love others, including those whose take on life differs from our own.
