Was John Mayer's Racist Comment Taken Out of Context?
No, not exactly. The recent controversy over John Mayer's interview with Playboy has been discussed from nearly every angle. The journalist who interviewed him, Rob Tannenbaum, said that there was much more to the interview than the tiny blip that was repeated, re-posted, and re-Tweeted so many times.
He contends that as we further and further reduce things into smaller and smaller bites, (we're now down to explaining our lives in 140 characters or less) that the complexity and nuances of people and what they say are lost. His interview and response also has journalists worried that it will be even more difficult to get their subjects to open up for an interview in a short period of time. He makes good points.

Having undesirable fat in different locations of your body can have a considerable impact on your health and self-confidence. While standard weight loss through exercise and diet plan is a terrific way to drop weight overall, even the very best workouts can't target problem locations like the stomach, inner thighs, arms, and buttocks. Liposuction is a time checked treatment that is used to remove excess fat from particular areas of the body, enabling an individual to shape and contour their body to their preference. Is liposuction right for you? Find out now.
Pros of Liposuction
There are numerous advantages to this cosmetic procedure, consisting of:
• Immediately obvious changes. Unlike conventional weight-loss, liposuction creates modifications that are right away noticeable in the body. Some difference is visible right away, and the desired results are usually achieved in simply a couple of days.
• Proven and safe. This cosmetic procedure has been performed by skilled cosmetic surgeons all over the world for many years and the strategy has been fine-tuned over and once again to be safe and reliable.
• Recovery time is normally quickly. The downtime needed after having this kind of treatment is usually much less than what is needed for other types of cosmetic procedures, including abdominoplasty, breast reduction, and more. Individuals who have had the procedure can typically go back to work a lot more rapidly than they prepared for and can return to living a healthy, active lifestyle.
• Weight reduction can be permanent. With the best maintenance methods, the fat that was eliminated during the liposuction treatment will not return.
• Complete control over your physique. With liposuction, an individual can have complete control over how they want to look, beyond what traditional diet plan and exercise can provide. Giving people this power over their bodies enhances self-esteem and aid individuals feel their very best.
While there countless benefits to liposuction, there are obviously a couple of cautions that should be taken into account before making the final decision to move forward with the treatment.
Cons of Liposuction

Your cosmetic surgeon can help you find out more about the threats connected with the treatment and can help you decide if moving on is the ideal thing for you.
• Issues with basic anesthesia. Because liposuction is carried out under basic anesthesia, the procedure carries the exact same dangers as other type of surgical treatment where general anesthesia is utilized. Hidden medical conditions may enhance these risks.
• Adverse reactions. Bruising, bleeding, and discomfort are all to be expected, however, in unusual cases can trigger more substantial complications.
• The potential to gain the weight back. After having liposuction done, it is critical to maintain a healthy diet and workout correctly as suggested by your doctor. Failure to do so might lead to acquiring back the weight that was lost or perhaps even more.
There are dangers associated with liposuction, for lots of individuals, the advantages far exceed them. Educate yourself about the treatment by having extensive conversations with your specialist and consider how liposuction has the possible to affect you as an unique individual. Just you and your cosmetic surgeon can identify if liposuction will provide you with the results you are searching for within your expectations.

I ordered some to keep on hand after doing some research. Son in law had an abcessed tooth and sore throat so I gave him some 3/3xday for 2 days then 2/3xday for 5 days. It worked. My dog got an ear infection, so I dropped some oil in his food twice a day for about a week. It worked (and he liked it). Husband and myself started to come down with something a few days ago, so we started taking the OoO and zicam and d3 and back on feet in 1-1/2 days! As a side note, we noticed while taking it that our backs (we both suffer from swiss cheese spines) felt better and I recalled reading about the anti inflammatory properties of OoO and we are amazed at the difference. He told me to order more (that's pretty amazing all by itself). Going to try it now on daily basis for inflammation and see how that goes. Oh... I have to swallow the capsules with a FULL glass of water or I will get heartburn.
A relative keeps raving about this product. He says it is a very powerful anti-bacterial with the carvacrol; his family uses it often for sore throats, sinus infections, urinary problems, etc.

Not so effective
Posted by Myozen on Jun 10, 2016
Took 2 caps twice a day for my post-nasal drip. Almost half a bottle finished, still no improvement. Mucus and phlegm still same volume. Was down with flu, given antibiotic (amoxcillin) and bromhexine - phlegm reduced and condition improve greatly. Now recovered from flu, but post-nasal drip resumes.....
Great product
Posted by 5336680723045197863 on Feb 29, 2016
We have this in our household and use it for everything. We open a capsule and rub it onto the feet of our granddaughter because she is too young yet to swallow a capsule.

Gun talk at Turner Hall
This week's 4th Street Forum focuses on guns -- concealed and otherwise. The title for the forum is:
Some people say that concealed carry is a way to reduce crime. But crime and guns are a deadly pair. Yet there are no criminal background checks on half the guns sold. Can Wisconsin sort fact from myth in the enduring debate about guns?
Panelists include:
Jeri Bonavia, of the Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort. Her focus recently has been the safety implications of carrying a gun in public and on regulating the secondary gun market; District Attorney John Chisholm, who has voiced support for a concealed carry law in Wisconsin if it were part of a larger reform of gun laws; Sheriff David Clarke, who long opposed concealed carry laws but now supports that option for law-abidng citizens, and Richard Cox, of Neighborhood House of Milwaukee.
Hosting the panel discussion will be Enrique Figueroa, director of the Roberto Hernández Center, UW-Milwaukee. The forum starts at noon on Thursday. It is free and open to the public.
4th Street Forums are also taped for later broadcast on Milwaukee Public Television and over the Web.

Drug Test Kits
Recommended drug and alcohol drugs test kits.
Please read this before ordering test kits.
Drug test kits.
Customers who buy drug test kits should be aware of using cheap imitations! Our rapid test kits are very affordable and perfectly suited for testing at home, the workplace, schools, colleges, medical centers, drug abuse centers and institutions.
About drug test kits
No matter what drug or drugs you need to test for, drug test kits screen for: Amphetamines (AMP), Barbiturates (BAR), Buprenorphine (BUP), Cocaine (COC), Ecstasy (MDMA), Heroin (6-MAM), K2 Spice (SCA), Marijuana (THC), Methadone (MTD), Methamphetamine (mAMP), Morphine (MOP), Opiates (OPI), Oxycodone (OXY), Phencyclidine (PCP) and Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCA). Furthermore all drug test kits meet or exceed Government standards ensuring each tests accuracy.
Methodology of test kits
There are various methodologies available to detect the presence of drugs. Customers generally prefer urine drug test kits because of price, but Oral (saliva) drug test kits are a convenient alternative and cost a little more. Both of are rapid screening products and produce a qualitative result that the user can easily understand. Meaning, yes there is a drug present or no drugs were found. Its' a "YES" or "NO" approach without quantification. Finally, to confirm a presumed positive a lab test is required. Most of all, they will confirm and quantify a presumed positive with a process called Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS).
Testing with drug test kits
Drug test kits don't actually detect the parent drug, they generally detect the drug that's metabolized by the body. Many factors influence drug detection and this applies to both urine and saliva drug test kits. Both are very accurate, but accuracy depends on the quality of the drug test kit, how long ago the person took the drug and how much they used. Differences in the person's metabolic rate and the rate of absorption will also affect the outcome. Other factors such as adulterants and diluted specimens can affect the result too. In conclusion the ability to drug test accurately will rely on these aspects.
Instructions for testing
Always refer to the manufacturers instructions but also read our recommended method for "drug testing". Furthermore, if you don't follow the process exactly, you may get erroneous results. Finally, always use a Drug Adulteration Test Strip prior to drug testing and if you're planning on buying a dip drug test kit, we would recommend you use an appropriate specimen container. Here is an example, it has a temperature test on the side for checking the temperature of the urine sample.

text: Hi, I recently got an Ipod Touch 2g - being a Linux-user it only now primarily gave me (more) grey hair. I can now upload music via SSH and play it in PwnPlayer selecting files under "files system". However, nothing appears under "Library". How can I fix this? For any reply thanks in advance, dnh PS: Nothing is seen under iTunes which, I guess, is related to Apple's intentions to make using an iPod cumbersome.

Just what you would expect from a mid-level American franchise restaurant. Beer was quite good, burger juicy.
Stopped in for lunch ...great beers! Highly recommend the nacho appetizer with beef and chicken ! Huge enough for two!!
Good service and atmosphere!
A must go to when in Indy!!!
We stumbled into Rock Bottom because the Hard Rock was closed. Interesting hours here in Indy -certainly not NY...

I grew up in Indianapolis but hadn't been back to downtown in ages. While visiting recently, we met friends here and had a great time!

This is a nice place to eat for real Americana food. Not expensive, great beer and service. I would definitely go there again if in Indianapolis
Where to start. Sat at the bar but had to ask for service even though there were very few people there (early around 4:00). Seemed like we were bothering staff if we asked about beer or menu. Lots of employees completely engaged in conversations with each other and having a beer on the side. Food was poor by west coast...
Our third trip to Indi and here.
Service was great. Food was off. Not bad but just ok. Asked for no mayo and was told not possible because the food is pre made. Why does that even mean.
First drink was weak. Mentioned it for the second. Same.
Maybe it was an off night.
Before going to Harry Potter at the symphony had an enjoyable lunch!
Three children and 6 adults--I didn't hear one complaint. Service was goo and so was the food.
Macaroni stuff was great. Great wine. Good bread. Service was great even though there were thousands in town for the convention.
Sizzling stuffed peppers were a huge disappointment. Poblano peppers under cooked and chicken, chorizo, cheese stuffing was pureed. Waitress was slow. Not a friendly place. Husband had steak and shrimp and felt his dinner was average.

We are coming into town for the DCI Championships and need a place for a large group of parents to get together for an early lunch on Friday August 12. Everyone would need to be on separate checks but would probably be a group of anywhere from 25-50 people. This is the first time we have all tried to get together so not sure just how many people will be able to make it. But we need a definite place and then can get a more accurate number. Is this something your restaurant could handle on a Friday?

NEIL DEIMUND, PLAINTIFF,v.HOMECOMING FINANCIAL NETWORK, INCORPORATED, AND MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INCORPORATED, DEFENDANTS.
Plaintiff filed his complaint (Doc. 1) on November 14, 2005, in setoff and recoupment in response to Defendants' action to foreclose on his mortgage and dispossess him of his home and property. Plaintiff alleges several violations of the Truth in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq., Regulation Z, 12 C.F.R. § 226.1 et seq. and Regulation X, 24 C.F.R. § 3500, as well as predatory lending practices pursuant to 815 ILCS 505/1 and fraud pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/13-205 and 207. He requests injunctive relief, actual and statutory damages, attorney's fees and costs.
Plaintiff moved for a temporary restraining order to prevent foreclosure and sale of his home (Doc. 3). The Court heard the matter on January 6, 2006. But all parties appeared to defend themselves, so the motion for a temporary restraining order was converted to a motion for preliminary injunction under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65. Plaintiff's home had already been sold by that time, so the motion was moot and Plaintiff withdrew it (Doc. 15). Remaining are Plaintiff's allegations of violations of the Truth in Lending Act and various Regulations.
Defendants have moved to dismiss the case (Docs. 17, 18, 19). However, we need not reach the substance of the case. The Rooker-Feldman doctrine clearly applies to this case, and we may dismiss it for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1). See Rooker v. Fidelity Trust Co., 263 U.S. 413 (1923); D.C. Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462 (1983). This doctrine prevents parties who have lost in state court from challenging that judgment in lower federal courts directly or by collaterally attacking it in such a way as to undo it. See Taylor v. Fed. Nat'l Mortgage Ass'n, 374 F.3d 529 (7th Cir. 2004). Only the Supreme Court of the United States can review state court judgments. Id. at 532.
In this case, Plaintiff lost a foreclosure action in state court, applied for relief from judgment but was denied, untimely appealed and was denied, and now wishes relief from this Court. Plaintiff does raise new claims, including some under federal law, but the proper time to raise those issues was in the original state court action. Now, the mortgage foreclosure is res judicata. Further, the foreclosure sale has already occurred. Rescinding the sale would be an extraordinary remedy in equity which is unjustified considering not only the state court judgment but the length of time Plaintiff took to appeal and to appear in this Court.
Accordingly, the Court ABSTAINS from exercising its jurisdiction over those portions of the case not covered by the doctrine of res judicata, GRANTS Defendants' motions to dismiss (Docs. 17, 19)and DISMISSES the case with prejudice.

United States District Court, D. New Jersey
June 3, 2015
DOMINICK A. FEELEY, Plaintiff,v.COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
KEVIN McNULTY, District Judge.
Dominick Feeley's application for Social Security disability benefits was denied by the Administration. Feeley has appealed to this Court. He argues that the ALJ did not properly consider his obesity and also did not consider the combined effects of all of Feeley's impairments. He adds that the ALJ erred in rejecting the opinion of Feeley's treating physician without sufficient cause. Feeley argues that the ALJ erred in assessing Feeley's residual functional capacity. Finally, he contends that the ALJ relied on an outdated publication when he determined that there were a significant number of jobs in the national economy that Feeley could perform. I find, however, that the ALJ properly applied the governing legal standards and that his decision was supported by substantial evidence. I will therefore affirm ALJ Kilgannon's decision.
Dominick Feeley suffers from several medical conditions. He has various heart problems including coronary artery disease, hypertension, and obesity. (Decision, [1] 3-4) He also suffers from diabetes and from mental health issues including an adjustment disorder and anxiety. (Decision, 3-4) In addition, Feeley reports experiencing several additional symptoms including blurry vision, sleep apnea, left hand numbness, and bilateral knee and back pain. (Hearing, 20-22; Decision, 4)
Before applying for disability benefits, Feeley worked as a data entry clerk, a hospital admitting clerk, and a general clerk. (Decision, 10). Feeley applied for benefits in October of 2011, claiming disability beginning as of January 4, 2011. (Decision, 1). On March 28, 2013, an Administrative Law Judge, Patrick Kilgannon, affirmed the determination that Feeley was not disabled during the relevant period. (Decision, 12). That denial proceeded through the administrative appeal process and was affirmed, rendering it a final decision.
ALJ's Decision
To determine whether Feeley met the criteria to be considered disabled, the ALJ followed the familiar five-step process outlined at 20 C.F.R. 404.1520(a). Under that framework, an ALJ first asks whether the claimant is presently engaged in substantial gainful activity. 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(b). At Step 2, an ALJ asks whether the claimant has a medically determinable impairment, or a combination of impairments, that is "severe." 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(c). At Step 3, the ALJ asks whether the claimant's impairments are so severe as to meet or medically equal the criteria for an impairment listed in 20 C.F.R. Part 404, Subpart P, Appendix 1. 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(d). The ALJ will then assess the claimant's residual functional capacity ("RFC"). 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(e). In layman's terms, this means that the ALJ will determine what is the most the claimant can do despite the limitations that have been established. 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545(a)(1). At Step 4, the ALJ determines whether, given that RFC, the claimant can still perform past relevant work. 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(a)(4)(iv). Finally, at Step 5 the ALJ will determine whether the claimant can perform another kind of work that exists in the national economy. 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520 (a)(4)(v).
In this case, the ALJ determined at Step 1 that Feeley had not engaged in substantial gainful activity since the alleged disability onset date. (Decision, 3) The ALJ noted that, after applying for disability benefits, Feeley briefly attempted to work as a delivery driver at a restaurant, and then behind the counter, but was unable to keep up. (Hearing Tr., 6; Decision, 3) Feeley was forced to leave that position after only two weeks. The ALJ's determination was proper; the regulations explain that any work activity that ends within three months because to an impairment should be considered an unsuccessful work attempt, and should not be considered substantial gainful activity. (Decision, 3 citing 20 C.F.R. § 404.1574)
At Step 2, the ALJ determined that Feeley had six severe impairments: coronary artery disease (in a post-bypass status); hypertension; hyperlipidemia; obesity; diabetes; and adjustment disorder. (Decision, 3) The ALJ did not, however, find any severe impairments associated with various other maladies of which Feeley complained. (Decision, 4) These included blurry vision, sleep apnea, left hand numbness, and bilateral knee and back pain. (Decision, 4) These symptoms, wrote the ALJ, were not supported by "medical signs and/or laboratory findings demonstrating the existence of a medically determinable physical impairment." (Decision, 4) Accordingly, the ALJ found they could not form the basis for a finding of disability. (Decision, 4)
At Step 3, the ALJ considered whether Feeley's impairments, alone or in combination, met or medically equaled the severity of one of the listed impairments in Appendix 1 to 20 C.F.R. Part 404, Subpart P. The ALJ found that none of the impairments individually or collectively met the required level of severity. (Decision, 4-6)
The ALJ then determined Feeley's residual functional capacity. Feeley, the ALJ found, retained the capacity to perform "a range of sedentary work." (Decision, 6) Although Feeley could not "climb ladders, ropes, or scaffold, " he could occasionally "climb ramps or stairs, balance, kneel, crouch, crawl, and stoop." (Decision, 6) The ALJ found that any work to be done by Feeley would have to be "limited to unskilled work in a low stress job, " i.e., one "having only occasional decision-making required and only occasional changes in the work setting." (Decision, 6)
At Step 4, the ALJ considered whether, given this RFC, Feeley could return to his prior work as a clerk. To help answer this question, the ALJ consulted a vocational expert named Louis Szollosy. (Decision, 10) Szollsy testified that work as a clerk is semi-skilled, and that it may be performed at a sedentary level, but is typically performed at a "light exertional" level. Based on Feeley's description, the vocational expert said that Feeley had in fact performed his prior work at light exertional level. (Decision, 10) The ALJ concluded that Feeley was not capable of returning to his prior job, either as he performed it or as it is generally performed. (Decision, 10)
Finally, at Step 5, the ALJ considered whether there are jobs available in the national economy that Feeley could perform. At this step, the ALJ was again assisted by the vocational expert. The ALJ concluded, based on the vocational expert's testimony, that Feeley could perform work as a call out operator, a charge account clerk, or a telephone quotation clerk. In each of those positions, the ALJ found, a sufficient number of jobs exist in the national economy for Feeley to find work. (Decision, 11)
Feeley raises four principal objections to the ALJ's decision. First, he challenges the ALJ's decision at Step 3 that Feeley's impairments do not meet or equal one of the impairments listed in Appendix 1. Second, Feeley argues that the ALJ erred in rejecting the opinion of Feeley's treating physician. Third, Feeley argues that the ALJ erred in assessing his residual functional capacity. Finally, Feeley argues that the Commissioner was wrong to conclude that there are jobs in the national economy that Feeley could perform. (Feeley Brief, 12-16) I have respectfully considered these contentions, but I disagree with them.
I. Standard of review
This Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 42 U.S.C § 405(g). Under that statute, a district court's review is limited to deciding whether the ALJ's decision was supported by substantial evidence. 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). Substantial evidence is "such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate." Ventura v. Shalala, 55 F.3d 900, 901 (3d Cir.1995) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). It is "less than a preponderance of the evidence but more than a mere scintilla." Jesurum v. Sec'y of U.S. Dep't of Health & Human Servs., 48 F.3d 114, 117 (3d Cir. 1995). If the ALJ's decision is supported by substantial evidence and is free from legal error, I must affirm that decision, even if I might have decided the case differently. Monsour Medical Ctr. v. Heckler, 806 F.2d 1185, 1190-91 (3d Cir. 1986).
II. Step 3 Determination
Feeley's objection to the ALJ's evaluation of his impairments at Step 3 has three components. First, Feeley argues that the ALJ did not properly consider Feeley's obesity as an impairment on its own, nor did he consider how obesity might be exacerbating other impairments. (Feeley Brief, 20) Second, Feeley argues that although the ALJ considered Feeley's impairments separately, he did not properly consider whether those impairments, in combination, were equivalent in severity to one of the listed impairments. (Feeley Brief, 16-24) Third, Feeley argues that the ALJ improperly rejected the opinion of Feeley's treating physician, which was entitled to deference. (Feeley Brief, 11, 23)
I find that the ALJ properly applied the regulations and that his conclusion was supported by substantial evidence. The ALJ considered whether the plaintiff's impairments met or equaled the criteria provided in Appendix 1 for three categories of impairments: endocrine disorders, cardiovascular disorders, and mental disorders. The symptoms and afflictions that the ALJ considered in his discussion of each category were not limited to any one impairment. For example, the symptoms that the ALJ considered in discussing the claimant's cardiovascular disorders included symptoms attributable to the claimant's obesity such as mobility restrictions and swelling of the legs. Likewise, the ALJ's discussion of Feeley's mental capacity included an assessment of areas that would be affected by Feeley's obesity, including limitations on the activities of daily living and feelings of depression. In general, the ALJ's opinion embodies a holistic approach to Feeley's impairments at Step 3.
a. Cardiovascular impairment
The ALJ properly treated the claimed impairments of the cardiovascular system. Feeley's medical records do not reflect diagnosable heart conditions of sufficient severity to meet the listings in section 4.00. As of January 2012 Feeley's heartbeat showed a "regular rate and rhythm" (Hoffman Evaluation, 2) His heart tones were "a little distant" but there was no evidence of arrhythmia. (Hoffman Evaluation, 2) There was only a "very fain ejection murmur." (Hoffman Evaluation, 2) A "stress rest myocardial perfusion scan" revealed "no definitive evidence of fixed or eversible defect, a top normal to enlarged left ventricle, and an ejection fraction of 47%." (Decision, 7) There was no evidence of significant arterial narrowing. (Decision, 4)
Likewise, the record indicates that the symptoms that Feeley suffers from these heart problems are not sufficiently severe to meet the Appendix 1 criteria. Feeley reported no negative side effects from his medications. (Decision, 9) He walks with a "normal gait" and without the use of an assistive device. (Hoffman Evaluation, 2) He had no difficulty getting on and off an examination table in the doctor's office. (Hoffman Evaluation, 2) As of January 2012, he was not wheezing. (Hoffman Evaluation, 2) Feeley does report occasional swelling of his legs, for which his doctor recommended a water pill which Feeley does not take. (Hoffman Evaluation, 1; Hearing Tr., 10, 20) Overall, the record did not reflect any significant or severe cardiac symptoms, and Feeley has pointed to none. (Decision, 4)
Feeley's own statements about his cardiovascular health are consistent with the ALJ's conclusions. In August of 2010 ( i.e., prior to the alleged disability onset date) Feeley reported that "from a cardiac standpoint he fe[lt] well, " and he denied "effort-related chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or exertional dyspnea." (Gatz Records, 3; Decision, 7) As of January 2012 (approximately one year after the alleged disability onset date) Feeley reported experiencing no chest pain. (Hoffman Evaluation, 1) He was able to walk a number of blocks at a time. He could climb three flights of stairs (he lived in a third-floor walk-up), sometimes without stopping. (Hoffman Evaluation, 1) By February of 2013, at his hearing before the ALJ, Feeley testified that his symptoms were "somewhat" controlled. (Hearing Tr., 16; Decision, 6) The only symptoms he reported were shortness of breath, difficulty lifting objects over five pounds, and swelling of the legs. (Hearing Tr., 16) As the ALJ found, Feeley has not reported "any significant cardiac symptoms such as chest pain or syncope during his many follow-up appointments with his primary care physician." (Decision, 9)
The evidence also supported a conclusion that Feeley's heart condition was not severely restricting his daily living activities. (Decision, 4) Feeley reported that he is able to bathe, dress, and have breakfast on his own. (Hearing Tr., 17; Decision, 4) He attempts to "do little things around the house, " and runs errands and pays bills "as needed." (Hearing Tr., 17-18; Decision, 4) Every week he goes to church and goes shopping with his wife. He took a bus to his appointment with Dr. Hoffman, and he is able to drive. (Hoffman Evaluation, 1)
b. Mental impairment
The ALJ also considered Feeley's mental impairment, identified as adjustment disorder. The ALJ accepted the evidence that Feeley does suffer from an adjustment disorder. He cries about three to four times per week, and "becomes depressed" two to three times a week. (Figurelli Evaluation, 3) He takes Xanax three times per day for anxiety. (Hearing Tr., 17, 15; Decision, 6) Feeley reported one instance in which he "though about not wanting to live." (Figurelli Evaluation, 3) Feeley also reports losing his temper on a regular basis. (Figurelli Evaluation, 2-3) While I do not doubt that Feeley's psychological impairment is a serious challenge for him, there is substantial evidence to support the ALJ's conclusion that this impairment does not rise to the level of severity required to meet the Appendix 1 criteria.
Appendix 1 contains three lists of criteria for severity relating to mental disorders, contained in section 12.04, paragraphs A, B, and C. To satisfy step 3, the claimant must meet either: (1) the requirements of Paragraph A and the requirements of Paragraph B; or (2) the requirements of Paragraph C. See 20 C.F.R. Pt. 404, Subpt. P, App. 1, § 12.04.
As to the first alternative, the ALJ bypassed Paragraph A and focused on Paragraph B (both are required). Paragraph B requires that the claimant's impairment include at least two of the following four conditions:
1. Marked restriction of activities of daily living; or
2. Marked difficulties in maintaining social functioning; or
3. Marked difficulties in maintaining concentration, persistence, or pace; or
4. Repeated episodes of decompensation, each of extended duration;
20 C.F.R. Pt. 404, Subpt. P, App. 1, § 12.04. The ALJ found that Mr. Feeley had only mild difficulties in activities of daily living and social functioning. (Decision, 5) The ALJ further found that Feeley had only moderate difficulties in concentration, and noted no instances of decompensation. (Decision, 5)
As to the second alternative, Paragraph C requires any of three symptoms: 1) repeated episodes of decompensation; 2) a residual disease process resulting in such marginal adjustment that even a minimal increase in mental demands or change in environment would cause the individual to decompensate; or 3) A history of one or more years' inability to function outside of a highly supportive living arrangement, with an indication of continued need for such an arrangement. 20 C.F.R. Pt. 404, Subpt. P, App. 1, § 12.04. The ALJ noted that none of those conditions were present.
The ALJ's conclusions were supported by substantial evidence. With respect to the Paragraph B criteria, Feeley does not experience marked restriction in activities of daily living, nor in social functioning. Feeley reported that he is able to bathe, dress, and have breakfast on his own. (Hearing Tr., 17; Decision, 4) He runs errands and pays bills "as needed." (Hearing Tr., 17-18; Decision, 4) He is able to prepare sandwiches, snack foods, and microwaveable meals on a daily basis. (Function Report, 3) He feeds his dog. (Function Report, 1) He does light housework such as "light laundry, " dusting, and vacuuming. (Function Report, 3) He is able to drive and to use public transportation. (Function Report, 4) He is able to watch television and play on the computer "fairly well." (Function Report, 4-5) Every week he goes to church and goes shopping with his wife (they have their groceries delivered rather than carry them home). (Hearing Tr., 17; Decision, 4) He stated that 4-5 times per week he meets with friends, talks on the phone, or emails. (Function Report, 5; Decision, 5) He stated that he gets along with authority figures "fairly well." (Function Report, 7) All of this constitutes substantial evidence in support of the ALJ's conclusion that Feeley's activities of daily living and social functioning are not so impaired as to meet the Paragraph B criteria.
There is also substantial evidence that Feeley's concentration, persistence, and pace are impaired, but only moderately so. Feeley does report some problems with concentration and persistence. He says that he does not finish what he starts (for instance, conversations, chores, or reading). (Function Report, 6; Figurelli Evaluation, 6; Decision, 5) He becomes distracted easily, loses things, and needs to be reminded about appointments and to take his medication. (Figurelli Evaluation, 6; Decision, 5) Nonetheless, Feeley has other abilities that ameliorate those difficulties. Feeley reports that he can pay attention for about 30 minutes at a time. (Function Report, 6; Decision, 5) He can follow instructions, both written and oral, "quite well." (Function Report, 6) He was able to recall a list of four words after five minutes, could perform basic math, and could spell a simple word forward and backward. (Figurelli Evaluation, 3)
Finally, Feeley reports no episodes of decompensation. (Decision, 5)
The ALJ's determination that Feeley met neither the Paragraph B nor the Paragraph C criteria was therefore supported by substantial evidence.
c. Endocrine Disorder
The ALJ also considered Impairment 9.00, Endocrine Disorders. Subpart 5 of this listing explains that the impairments resulting from endocrine disorders like diabetes are evaluated under the listings for the other body systems that are affected. 20 C.F.R. Part 404 Subpart P, Appx. 1 § 9.00(B). For instance, diabetes can lead to complications from hyperglycemia, including gangrene, coronary artery disease, infection, and cognitive impairments. See 20 C.F.R. Part 404 Subpart P, Appx. 1 § 9.00(B)(5)(a).
Feeley's medical records show no evidence that his diabetes had an impact on another body system serious enough to meet one of the listings. (Decision, 4). Feeley's diabetes is treated with medication, from which Feeley reported no negative side effects. (Decision, 6, 9). Dr. Hoffman, the consultative physician, indicated that Feeley's diabetes "was fairly well-controlled." (Decision, 7). Thus, the ALJ's conclusions that Feeley's impairments do not meet the severity required by section 9.00 was supported by substantial evidence.
d. Feeley's arguments of procedural error at Step 3
For the reasons expressed above, the ALJ's Step 3 determination had ample record support. Feeley argues that it was nevertheless infected by procedural error. The matter must be remanded, he says, because the ALJ failed to sufficiently consider Feeley's obesity individually and in combination with other impairments; generally failed to consider the combined effect of all of his impairments; and failed to give due weight to the opinion of his treating physician. I disagree.
(i) Obesity and combination of conditions
The Social Security Administration has explained how ALJs should consider a claimant's obesity in Social Security Ruling 02-1P. Because obesity is not an impairment listed in Appendix 1 (SSR 02-1P, 2002 WL 34686281 at *4), the ALJ at Step 3 should consider whether the claimant's obesity is equivalent to one of the listed impairments. The ALJ is directed to consider obesity in isolation, and also in combination with other impairments.
As for considering obesity alone, the regulations explain:
We may also find that obesity, by itself, is medically equivalent to a listed impairment... For example, if the obesity is of such a level that it results in an inability to ambulate effectively, as defined in sections 1.00B2b or 101.00B2b of the listings, it may substitute for the major dysfunction of a joint(s) due to any cause (and its associated criteria), with the involvement of one major peripheral weight-bearing joint in listings 1.02A or 101.02A, and we will then make a finding of medical equivalence.
SSR 02-1P 2002 WL 34686281, *5 (Sept. 12, 2002)
As for considering obesity in combination with other impairments, the regulations explain that other conditions may be exacerbated by obesity, and must be considered in combination with it:
We will... find that a listing is met if there is an impairment that, in combination with obesity, meets the requirements of a listing. For example, obesity may increase the severity of coexisting or related impairments to the extent that the combination impairments meet the requirements of a listing. This is especially true of musculoskeletal, respiratory, and cardiovascular impairments. It may also be true for other coexisting or related impairments, including mental disorders.
SSR 02-1P 2002 WL 34686281, *5 (Sept. 12, 2002). Indeed, the ALJ must consider whether obesity, in combination with un related impairments, is equivalent in severity to a listed impairment:
We will also find equivalence if an individual has multiple impairments, including obesity, no one of which meets or equals the requirements of a listing, but the combination of impairments is equivalent in severity to a listed impairment.
All of these are alternative routes to the same goal. In all cases, the question is whether the claimant's impairments, alone or together, are severe enough to be equivalent to one of the impairments listed in Appendix 1.
Here, the ALJ reviewed Feeley's symptoms and conditions (including his obesity) in detail. ( See Part II.a - II.c, supra ). He then concluded that Feeley's restrictions did not rise to a level that met or equaled any of the impairments listed in Appendix 1. In doing so, the ALJ explicitly acknowledged that he was considering Feeley's impairments both alone and in combination as required by Ruling 02-1p:
The claimant does not have an impairment or combination of impairments that meets or medically equals the severity of one of the listed impairments in 20 CFR Part 404, Subpart P, Appendix 1... while there is no specific listing for obesity, this impairment was considered in conjunction with the claimant's other impairments as instructed by Social Security Ruling 02-1p. In this case, there is no evidence that the claimant's obesity has exacerbated his other conditions; for example, it has not impaired his ability to ambulate effectively.
(Decision, 4)
As I found at Part II.a - II.c, supra, the record contains substantial evidence to support that conclusion. Here, I also find that the ALJ's methodology was consistent with what the Third Circuit requires, and was not infected by procedural error:
We also conclude that the ALJ's step three analysis was sufficient to permit judicial review. After broadly concluding that [the claimant] has no impairment, which meets the criteria of any of the listed impairments, the ALJ followed this conclusion with a searching review of the medical evidence. Under our precedents, this is sufficient. See Jones v. Barnhart, 364 F.3d 501, 503 (3d Cir. 2004) (finding step three analysis adequate where ALJ reviewed medical evidence and concluded, "after carefully compar[ing] the claimant's signs, symptoms, and laboratory findings with the criteria specified in all of the Listings of Impairments, the claimant's impairments do not meet or equal the criteria established for an impairment shown in the Listings.")
Klangwald v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., 269 F.Appx. 202, 204 (3d Cir. 2008). Here, too, the ALJ conducted a searching review of the medical evidence. He explicitly acknowledged his obligation to consider all impairments, including obesity, alone and also in combination. He stated that he had done so, and made findings amply supported by the record. That discharged the ALJ's duty to consider obesity and the other impairments, alone and in combination.
I find no cause for remand on this basis.
(ii) Treating Physician
Feeley also objects that the ALJ improperly rejected the opinion of Feeley's treating physician, Dr. Smith. (Feeley Brief, 11) Dr. Smith filed a "Physical Residual Functional Capacity Questionnaire" opining that Feeley could not sit for more than 45 minutes at one time or for more than two hours in the course of a workday. (Smith Assessment, 3-4; Feeley Brief, 24) Dr. Smith also concluded that Feeley's conditions would likely cause him to be absent from work for an average of more than four times per month. (Smith Assessment, 5; Feeley Brief, 24) And he stated that Feeley would need to elevate his legs above his hips 60%-80% of the time. (Smith Assessment, 4)
Deciding whether a claimant is disabled is the purview of the Commissioner alone. A claimant is not entitled to benefits simply because a physician, even a treating physician, proffers the legal conclusion that the claimant is disabled. See 20 C.F.R. § 416.927(d)(1) ("We [ i.e., the Social Security Administration] are responsible for making the determination or decision about whether you meet the statutory definition of disability... A statement by a medical source that you are "disabled" or "unable to work" does not mean that we will determine that you are disabled."); Gantt v. Comm'r Soc. Sec., 205 F.Appx. 65, 66-67 (3d Cir. 2006).
The ALJ must, however, give the evidence respectful consideration and state his or her reasons for accepting and rejecting it, particularly in the case of the opinion of a treating physician. In general, the opinion of a medical professional who has actually treated the patient is entitled to deference. (20 C.F.R. § 416.927(c)(2)) ("Generally, we give more weight to opinions from your treating sources, since these sources are likely to be the medical professionals most able to provide a detailed, longitudinal picture of your medical impairment(s))." But the opinion of a treating source must be given "controlling weight" only when that opinion is "well-supported by medically acceptable clinical and laboratory diagnostic techniques and is not inconsistent with the other substantial evidence in [the claimant's] case record." 20 C.F.R. § 416.927(c)(2).
Thus the ALJ may reject a treating physician's opinion if it is contradicted by the doctor's own records or other credible medical evidence in the record. Here is an example of such a rejection, upheld by the Court of Appeals:
Here, the ALJ rejected Dr. Gansheroff's opinion of marked limitation because it contradicted his own treatment records, which indicated Becker's mental limitations as only moderate. Likewise, the ALJ rejected Dr. Smith's interrogatory responses and conclusions regarding Becker's ability to work because they contradicted his own treatment records, which indicated that Becker had responded positively to medication and treatment and could sit, stand, walk, and lift to some degree. Dr. Smith's interrogatory responses were also contradicted by Dr. Gouda, Dr. Aguire, and even Becker herself, all of whom either documented or testified that Becker was able to ambulate and perform various light activities for periods of time without severe pain. Thus, the ALJ could properly reject parts of the opinions of Dr. Smith and Dr. Gansheroff.
Becker v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec. Admin., 403 F.Appx. 679, 686 (3d Cir. 2010). See also Morris v. Barnhart, 78 F.Appx. 820, 824 (3d Cir. 2003) (upholding an ALJ's rejection of a treating psychiatrist's opinion where that opinion was inconsistent with the other medical evidence in the record).
The ALJ hearing Feeley's case found that the opinions of a treating physician, Dr. Smith, were not supported by the other medical evidence. For example, Dr. Smith's own treatment notes do not record significant cardiac symptoms beyond shortness of breath and some difficulty lifting. (Decision, 6) Likewise, although Dr. Smith opined that Feeley should keep his legs elevated above his hips 60-80% of the time, no such diagnosis is indicated in Smith's treatment records (which span at least four years).
In addition, the ALJ was entitled to discount Dr. Smith's opinion based on the quality of the explanation he provided. "[A] treating physician's opinion... may [also] be accorded less weight depending upon the extent to which a supporting explanation is provided for the opinion." Cunningham v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., 507 F.Appx. 111, 118-19 (3d Cir. 2012). Here, Smith filled out a SSA form, but provided little explanation for his conclusions. ( See Dkt. No. 6-8, Exh. 6F, 1-6)
In sum, I find that the ALJ's decision to reject Dr. Smith's opinion was supported by substantial evidence and was not procedurally suspect. The ALJ did not err in rejecting Dr. Smith's opinion, and a remand is not required on these grounds.
III. RFC Assessment
Feeley also argues that the ALJ erred in assessing Feeley's residual functional capacity. I disagree.
The ALJ concluded that Feeley could perform sedentary, unskilled work in a low-stress job. The evidence reviewed above amply supports that conclusion. Treatment records indicated that Feeley had good upper body grip strength and could drive, take public transportation, walk normally, and get on and off an examination table without assistance. (Hoffman Evaluation, 1-2) Records of Feeley's mental condition are not inconsistent with the ability to operate proficiently in a low-stress environment. Feeley has pointed to nothing in the record (other than Dr. Smith's opinion, which the ALJ rejected for sufficient reasons) indicating that this assessment was not supported by substantial evidence.
IV. Step 5 Determination
Feeley also challenges the ALJ's determinations at Step 5 that he was capable of performing work that is available in the national economy. This conclusion, too, was supported by substantial evidence and untainted by procedural error, and I will uphold it.
The ALJ relied on the testimony of a vocational expert to conclude that Feeley could perform three categories of jobs existing in significant numbers in the national economy: a telephone quotation clerk, a call out operator, and a charge account clerk (Decision, 11) Each of these is taken from the Department of Labor's Dictionary of Occupational Titles ("DOT"). (Decision, 11)
Feeley objects that these job categories are outdated. (Feeley Brief, 12-16) These job categories, Feeley argues (albeit without citation), were last updated in 1977. (Feeley Brief, 31-15) (I note, however, that the DOT itself was updated in 1991.) Dates aside, Feeley argues that a simple reading of these job descriptions compels the conclusion that they are out of date. (Feeley Brief, 12-16)
As to one of these three job categories, Feeley has a point. The vocational expert cited DOT No. 237.367-046, "Telephone Quotation Clerk." The DOT describes that job as follows:
Answers telephone calls from customers requesting current stock quotations and provides information posted on electronic quote board. Relays calls to REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVE (financial) 250.257-018 as requested by customer. May call customers to inform them of stock quotations.
The notion of an investor calling his brokerage house on the telephone to have a stock quotation read to him by a receptionist who monitors an "electronic quote board" does seem rather quaint. I am sure that it still occurs. Nevertheless, the Vocational Expert's testimony that in 2012 there were approximately 970, 000 telephone quotation clerk jobs available nationally, and 95, 000 available regionally, seems dubious. (Hearing Tr., 31)
The Department of Labor itself now uses a more recent incarnation of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles called O*Net.[2] O*Net has abandoned the "Telephone Quotation Clerk" job category. O*Net job categories, however, contain cross-references correlating them to the categories in the DOT.[3] I have examined them in an effort to see whether "Telephone Quotation Clerk" survives in a different guise. The category associated with the DOT's "Telephone Quotation Clerk" is "Receptionists and Information Clerks." (O*Net No. 43-4171.00) O*Net describes the duties of that job thus: "Answer inquiries and provide information to the general public, customers, visitors, and other interested parties regarding activities conducted at establishment and location of departments, offices, and employees within the organization."[4] Thus, it would seem that the job of Telephone Quotation Clerk has been subsumed by the job of general receptionist. To my mind, however, that is not a close enough fit to permit me to carry over the old DOT category to the O*Net era. Although I do not find such a conclusion implausible, the vocational expert offered no opinion as to whether Feeley could perform the job of a general receptionist, and I will not assume without evidence that he could.
Were this the only job category that the ALJ had found Feeley could perform, a remand might well be appropriate. See Cunningham v. Astrue, 360 Fed.App'x 606, 615 (6th Cir. 2010) (remanding to the Commissioner where the two DOT job categories relied on appeared to be obsolete). In the end, however, it does not matter that one of the three job categories appears questionable. I do not have the same reservations as to the other two. And because the vocational expert's testimony indicates that each of those two categories represents a significant number of jobs in the national economy, the ALJ's determination at Step 5 is still supported by substantial evidence.
The other two job categories relied upon by the ALJ do not strike the court as obsolete. Those two categories are Charge Account Clerk and Call Out Operator. (DOT Nos. 205.367-014 and 237.367-046, respectively).
The duties of a Charge Account Clerk are described thus:
Interviews customers applying for charge accounts: Confers with customer to explain type of charge plans available. Assists customer in filling out application or completes application for customer. Reviews applications received by mail. Files credit applications after credit department approves or disapproves credit. May check references by phone or form letter and notify customer of acceptance or rejection of credit [CREDIT CLERK (clerical)]. May verify entries and correct errors on charge accounts [CUSTOMER-COMPLAINT CLERK (clerical)], using adding machine. May answer credit rating requests from banks and credit bureaus. May issue temporary shopping slip when credit references appear satisfactory.
And here are the duties of a Call Out Operator:
Compiles credit information, such as status of credit accounts, personal references, and bank accounts to fulfill subscribers' requests, using telephone. Copies information onto form to update information for credit record on file, or for computer input. Telephones subscriber to relay requested information or submits data obtained for typewritten report to subscriber.
These job descriptions do not unlock memories of the Reagan era. Nothing about them is inconsistent with the internet age; they seem to involve a level of customer interaction that remains valuable in the current economy. A charge-account clerk, for example, might work in a retail store and decide whether to extend credit to a particular customer for purchases at that particular store. Alternatively, such a clerk might work in customer service for a bank or a credit card company. The job of call out operator seems to include the functions of many an employee of a credit card company.
Though neither party cited O*Net in its briefing, I note that O*Net contains categories that correspond quite closely to the DOT jobs of charge account clerk and call out operator. See Earls v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., No. 1:09-cv-01465, 2011 WL 3652435, at *7 (N.D. Ohio Aug. 19, 2011) (rejecting an argument that the DOT job categories were outdated where the categories had corresponding entries in O*Net). That these DOT categories survive in the more modern O*Net compilation strongly suggests that they are not obsolete.
The O*Net job corresponding to Charge Account Clerk is "Interviewers" (O*Net No. 43-4111.00) That job is described as: "Interview persons by telephone, mail, in person, or by other means for the purpose of completing forms, applications, or questionnaires. Ask specific questions, record answers, and assist persons with completing form. May sort, classify, and file forms." Thus, both jobs involve interviewing or surveying persons on the telephone and recording the information obtained. Such persons may wish, for example, to apply for something (including, but not limited to, credit).
The O*Net job corresponding to Call Out Operator is "Credit Checker." (O*Net No. 43-4041.02). That job is described as "Investigate history and credit standing of individuals or business establishments applying for credit. Telephone or write to credit departments of business and service establishments to obtain information about applicant's credit standing."[5] Both the DOT and the O*Net version of this job involve verifying an individual's credit history using the telephone or other methods. DOT says that the individual will "[c]ompile[] credit information, such as status of credit accounts, personal references, and bank accounts." The more modern O*Net description very similarly says that the individual will "[c]ompile and analyze credit information gathered by investigation, " and will "[c]ontact former employers and other acquaintances to verify applicant's emplployment, health, history, and social behavior."
Both the DOT categories and the O*Net categories list the jobs as sedentary. Because these latter two DOT job categories do not appear to be anachronistic, I find that the ALJ committed no error in relying on them (or the vocational expert's opinion based on them) to form his conclusions at Step 5.
The vocational expert testified that for a call out operator, there were 60, 000 jobs available in the national economy and some 3, 400 available in the regional economy. (Hearing Tr., 30) For a charge account clerk, he stated that there were 200, 000 jobs available nationally, and 3, 400 available regionally. (Hearing Tr., 30). Either of these categories would thus constitute substantial evidence to support the ALJ's conclusion that a significant number of jobs suitable for Feeley exist in the national economy.
I note in addition that the corresponding O*Net categories list similarly large numbers of currently available jobs. For call out operator, O*Net indicates that as of 2012, there were 52, 000 such jobs in the national economy, and 1, 400 in the New Jersey region. For charge account clerk, O*Net lists 205, 000 jobs nationally, and 7, 670 in the New Jersey region as of 2012.
Even excluding the category of Telephone Quotation Clerk, there was substantial evidence to support the ALJ's conclusion at Step 5 that there are a sufficient number of jobs available in the national economy that Feeley could perform.
For the reasons stated above, Feeley's appeal will be denied. A separate order will issue.
