Did You Know?
Endovascular Surgical Specialists - The Best Kept Secret in Medicine
According to a national survey, only three percent of Americans are aware of Endovascular Specialists (Riley Research Associates, 2001). Modern, minimally invasive treatments are available for many diseases, but few patients know to ask about them, or to seek out a second opinion from an endovascular surgical specialist. Historically, endovascular surgical specialists have been the "specialist's specialist," and patients didn't have direct contact with this specialty.
Because surgery was the only treatment available for many years, many primary care physicians still refer their patients to surgeons and rely on the surgeon to provide the consult on available treatment options. However, surgeons are generally poor gatekeepers for knowing the minimally invasive treatments that another specialty offers.
Eventually this paradigm will change and patients will be sent to the least invasive practitioner for consult first, but in the meantime, it is important for patients to know their options.
The Vascular Institute - Another Example of Why AMI is the Leader in Medical Imaging for the Region
The Vascular Institute is one of Atlantic Medical Imaging's (AMI) centers of excellence. We use minimally invasive image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in nearly every organ system. The concept behind this is to diagnose and treat patients using the least invasive techniques currently available in order to minimize risk to the patient and improve health outcomes.
As the inventors of angioplasty and the catheter-delivered stent, vascular specialists pioneered modern minimally invasive medicine. Using X-rays, CT, ultrasound, MRI, and other imaging modalities, vascular specialists obtain images which are then used to direct interventional instruments throughout the body. These procedures are usually performed using needles and narrow tubes called catheters, rather than by making large incisions into the body as in traditional surgery.
Many conditions that once required surgery can now be treated non-surgically by vascular specialists. By minimizing the physical trauma to the patient, peripheral interventions can reduce infection rates and recovery time, as well as shorten hospital stays.
AMI's team of vascular specialists are board-certified physicians with more than 10 years of intense training, who specialize in minimally invasive, image guided treatments. Our vascular specialists offer the most in-depth knowledge of the least invasive treatments available coupled with diagnostic and clinical experience across all specialties.
Do you experience leg pain, calf or foot pain at rest, or non-healing wounds? These could be signs of Peripheral Arterial Disease.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), also known as peripheral vascular disease (PVD), is a common condition affecting up to 20 percent of Americans age 65 and older. PAD develops most commonly as a result of cholesterol and scar tissue build up, forming a substance called plaque inside the arteries. The clogged arteries cause decreased blood flow to the legs, which can result in pain when walking, and eventually gangrene and amputation.
Because atherosclerosis affects the body as a whole, individuals with PAD are likely to have blocked arteries in other areas of the body. Thus, those with PAD are at increased risk for heart disease, aortic aneurysms and stroke. PAD is also a marker for diabetes, hypertension and other conditions.
Those who are at highest risk for PAD are: Over the age 50; Smokers; Diabetic; Overweight: Inactive (and do not exercise); Have high blood pressure or high cholesterol or high lipid blood test or have a family history of vascular disease, such as PAD, aneurysm, heart attack or stroke
Many people simply live with their pain, assuming it is a normal part of aging, rather than reporting it to their doctor.

Nonsurgical Uterine Fibroid Embolization – A Major Advancement in Women's Health
Uterine fibroids are very common non-cancerous (benign) growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. They can range in size from very tiny (a quarter of an inch) to larger than a cantaloupe. Occasionally, they can cause the uterus to grow to the size of a five-month pregnancy. In most cases, there is more than one fibroid in the uterus. While fibroids do not always cause symptoms, their size and location can lead to problems for some women, including pain and heavy bleeding.
Twenty to 40 percent of women age 35 and older have uterine fibroids of a significant size. African American women are at a higher risk for fibroids: as many as 50 percent have fibroids of a significant size. Uterine fibroids are the most frequent indication for hysterectomy in premenopausal women and, therefore, are a major public health issue. Of the 600,000 hysterectomies performed annually in the United States, one-third are due to fibroids.
Uterine fibroid embolization is a safe and effective option for women to consider. Women can and should be confident about their decision to consider UFE as a treatment option. Most women with symptomatic fibroids are candidates for UFE and should obtain a consult with an interventional radiologist to determine whether UFE is a treatment option for them.

Animal Pancakes and What Cheese Can Teach Us about Love
Warning to those traveling to the Netherlands with children: Wanneer u een dier Pannenkoek van het kindermenu in The Pancake Bakery bestellen, wees dan niet verbaasd als het wordt geserveerd overgoten met een gevulde slang en een aantal Zweedse vis zoals snoep die ervoor zorgt dat je kleintje zeggen "woooooooah!"
(P.S. The translation is found later in this post so you'll soon be in-the-know if only you have the patience to continue reading.)Diehard fans of this blog (you know who you are) may jump the gun and use Google Translate to discover the secret in that sentence. Those who speak Dutch will have little idea of what I'm saying as I'm quite sure my use of the language is a disaster. For everyone else, suffice to say that my little family and I just spent a week eating our way through Amsterdam and Utrecht and we liked it very much, very much indeed.
First, I'll have you know 'twas love that inspired our trip to the Netherlands. A wedding, in fact—a most out-of-this-world wedding, at that, which included an Italian feast, a circus, a ribbon acrobat, a fire eater, a teatro metamorfosis, numerous declarations of absolute admiration and adoration for the bride and groom, another feast, a castle, a Dutch picnic, tandem bikes, a group of 300 enthusiastic guests, and so very much more. Yet, none of these marvelous and extraordinary things had me as convinced that bride was indeed in love—truly, madly, deeply in love—with the groom as much as did the overwhelming presence of cheese. (More on love and cheese later.)
Second, I'm very happy to report that none of our brood was hit by a bicyclist. My husband did walk into a bike that was chained to rack… and it did make a big ruckus and twist into an awkward mess onto the sidewalk… but he insists this doesn't count as a bike accident since there was no actual rider involved. (There were other points to his argument which I won't get into except to say that I beg to differ.)
Third, I'm ashamed to admit that one member of our brood went three (maybe four) days without eating a single vegetable. I'm not naming names but she does not speak English (or Dutch), insists on eating all foods with her bare hands, and must be carried or pushed in her 'buggy' everywhere she goes.
Fourth, since I'm hoping to write off part of this trip as a work expense, please bear with me as I summarize a brief list of food facts culled from eating research I conducted while traveling:
17 food lessons from 7 days in Holland
1. The apple compote from Albert Heijn is darned good. Like, super darned good. (In fact, I might be willing to accept it over Nutella when a sugar craving strikes. No joke. This is huge.)
2. You can easily get through U.S. Customs with a jar of apple compote.
3. Gluten-free in Dutch = Gluten-vrij
4. Dutch people like Italian food.
5. Serving cotton candy at your wedding is much enjoyed and appreciated.
6. In Amsterdam, gelato is ubiquitous (see #4). Ditto for Utrecht. I mention this because standing alongside a canal under the moonlight with a scoop of ricotta and fig gelato may very well be worth a 7 hour flight with toddler.
7. American Cookies is the gelato flavor favored by Dutch waitresses.
8. When eating out, if you'd like to order meat, cheese, or bread, then you're in luck. Vegetables = not possible. (Though, you and your child will graciously be offered french fries as an alternative.)
9. Soused herring is slippery, slimy and best avoided unless you are part Dutch.
10. A pack of colored file folder stickers can keep a toddler occupied for at least 27 minutes while flying. (Not food related but highly valuable information nonetheless.)
11. The milk served on KLM airlines is organic.
12. Bibsters (disposable bibs) are the bomb! (Pay no mind to the cost, just pony up. You will be happy.)
13. If you were raised in Holland, you probably consider the Starbucks grande latte Supersized. (You probably consider any drink over 5 ounces Supersized. Be proud.)
14. In The Netherlands, organic is referred to as 'biological.' (And that makes me feel weird.)
15. If you're looking to avoid growth hormones, there's no need to insist on 'biological' versions of milk, etc. The use of r-BGH and r-BST is banned in the Netherlands and throughout Europe. (Again, Holland, be proud.)
16. Weighing your own produce is fun. Lucky for you, you will get to take your hand at it if you go to a Dutch grocery store.
17. When you order an Animal Pancake from the children's menu at The Pancake Bakery in Amsterdam, do not be surprised if it is served topped with a stuffed snake and a number of Swedish-fish like candy that will make your little one say "woooooooah!" Please be prepared for every meal to pale in comparison hereafter.
P.S. If you'd like to embarrass yourself by attempting to say this above sentence in Dutch, scroll back to the top.)
My research is complete, on to cheese and love.
The bride, a former cheese fiend (forgive me, is that too strong a word? Anyone who has shared a plate of saganaki with this woman will know what I'm saying) now lives a very virtuous, dairy-free lifestyle. Yet, despite her having given up this tough-to-resist food (I once read that cheese has an addictive quality, working on brain receptors the same way as morphine), she has agreed to live the rest of her life with a man from a country replete with this temptation.
(For those of you have haven't been to Holland, there are gorgeous and enticing little cheese shops everywhere. As if that weren't enough, the cheese is good, really good. There are entire museums celebrating the stuff. Literally. Cheese, cheese, cheese.)
This would be like me swearing off chocolate and then falling in love with Willy Wonka and hanging out in The Chocolate Factory just to be near him.
Could I do it? For love…Maybe?
I'm not sure I could. And that's how cheese game me my proof…
Be still, my salivating heart! The bride is most surely in love with her Dutchy, the groom.

Daily 3-Bet: Railing Thomas, Tipping Dealers, Seidel Album
The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is the naked baby in the pool surrounded by cash on the cover of the seminal afternoon poker news album.
Any suggestions for a future 3-Bet, feel free to drop a note in the comments.
Today in the 3-Bet we find Jason Somerville revisiting former student Russell Thomas' Sunday Million win, Gavin Griffin debating the pros and cons of playing against and/or tipping dealers and Erik Seidel introduces the world to his first album cover.
1) Somerville Breaks Down Thomas' Sunday Million Win
We noted former Octo-Niner Russell Thomas' Sunday Million win last week and now we have a chance, thanks to Jason Somerville, to revisit how he finished it off.
Somerville famously coached Thomas prior to and during his WSOP Main Event final-table appearance and produced the fantastic behind-the-scenes The Final Table series about Thomas' journey.
This is a bit lighter on the production value obv., as Somerville simply talks strategy over the replay of Thomas' final table from 5 players in, but if you love free insight from great players (and we do), this is worth your 30 mins. Check the clip here:
2) Griffin Talks Dealer Etiquette, Tipping
Speaking of player insight we never tire of, Gavin Griffin has proven time and again he always has something thoughtful to say about the world of poker and he's done it again in a new blog post.
Delving into some of the more contentious issues the average grinder may come across with dealers at a local casino, Griffin shares his thoughts on playing with off-duty dealers, if/how much to tip and dealers chastising players for their play. An excerpt:
"At my current home casino, they allow their employees to play while they're off duty, and the dealers can even play when they're working.
"I don't get many dealers in the games that I play, but there are some brush and floor men who play in them. In my opinion, if they want to play in the games that I play in and attempt to take away some of my EV in the game, no matter what the quality of their service is on a regular basis, I don't tip them.
"I'm not the best tipper in the first place because I only tip the dealers and floor people that are above average at their job, and then, not on every pot that I win or every day that I show up (We can get into this in a different article I suppose), but when someone attempts to cut into my livelihood and their livelihood depends on tips, I feel a need to reciprocate the sentiment."
3) Seidel Finds Album Cover; Now Just Needs Music Lessons
As we've said before, for our money Erik Seidel is the best tweeter in poker.
He always has something insightful, sharp or funny to say, doesn't overdo his chip counts and never, ever posts food pics and/or sniffles updates.
A noted music lover, Seidel also tips us off to a few good bands worth checking out, so we definitely got a kick out of his latest Tweet which really does have the feel of a good album cover:
Got my album cover all picked out, now I need to learn how to play an instrument twitter.com/Erik_Seidel/st…— Erik Seidel (@Erik_Seidel) April 1, 2013

All you need is a Java 1.1 compliant Web browser. MUMail uses POP3 to download mail and is MIME enabled.
GNU Aspell is a spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell. It can either be used as a library or as an independent spell checker. Its main feature is that it does a superior job of suggesting possible replacements for a misspelled word than just about any other spell checker out there for the English language. Unlike Ispell, Aspell can also easily check documents in UTF-8 without having to use a special dictionary. Aspell will also do its best to respect the current locale setting. Other advantages over Ispell include support for using multiple dictionaries at once and intelligently handling personal dictionaries when more than one Aspell process is open at once.
EO is a templates-based, ANSI-C++ compliant evolutionary computation library. It contains classes for any kind of evolutionary computation (specially genetic algorithms) you might come up to. It is component-based, so that if you don't find the class you need in it, it is very easy to subclass existing abstract or concrete class.

My friend Dave Davis (aka Hugh L. Davis III) finished his PhD and is now Doctor Dave! Dave's dissertation was on "The Impact Of Commercial Banking Development On Economic Growth: A Principal Component Analysis Of Association Between Banking Industry And Economic Growth In Europe." He was very kind and thanked me and fellow PhD students: "To my classmates, Shawn Lowe, Ed Bee, Richard Baker, Greg Bonadies, Patton, Melissa Aho, and Madeline Messick: had it not been because of their friendship, it is doubtful that I would have ever completed this chapter of my life" (pages iv-v). I am sure that Dave would have done just fine without us, but its still nice to be thanked. Thanks Doctor Dave!

I Passed!!! PhD Comprehensive Oral Exam
Today was my 90 Minutes PhD Comprehensive Oral Exam.
April 28th, 2016
8:00 a.m. until 9:30 a.m
It was a crazy day! I got less than 3 hours of sleep (not a good sleeper I was trying for 6 hours, but could not fall asleep), so I was not moving too quickly this morning. The weather was pouring rain, the streets were flooding, there were Flood Warnings like crazy, thunder, lightening, etc. I arrived on campus and was soaked by the time I got inside. There were three professors at the exam and me. I have been joking for years that I would do an interpretive dance routine for my Oral Exam (there was a funny video a few years ago about someone doing an interpretive dance routine for their PhD and it was hysterical) and no, I did not dance (I cannot dance), but I did make a joke about it and one also about the Magna Carta. We started with my major – Political Development and then moved on to my minor – Security Studies. The exam was crazy hard and I could not remember anything. No names or dates or things that I had been studying for the past year. My mind went blank and stayed that way. The whole thing was much harder and much more stressful then I thought it would be. After over an hour we finished and I left the room and they talked. I figured I had failed. I only had to wait about 10 minutes or so, which is a really short time. Too short and that's never good. I went in and the IDV Challenge Coin (the sign that you have passed) was waiting for me. At first I thought it was a joke, but no, it turns out that I passed!!! I Passed!!!
Afterwards braving the rain I stopped for a celebratory meal at the Waffle House! I have not been there for years, so it was time for another visit.
Then tonight IDV Department hosted a dinner tonight at the Harbor View Cafe Restaurant. It was fun to see and talk with friends and meet some of the new students.
Later the names I totally forgot to mention keep coming back to me…haunting me…taunting me…Inglehart and Wlezel…Modernization…101 things about globalization…Joe Schumpeter…Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson. Its like PTSD for Comps.
Comprehensive Exams now passed. I am now ABD!!! All But Dissertation!!!
Today is Study Day Wednesday!
Today is Study Day Wednesday, so named due to the fact that I am resting, letting my back recover from yesterdays long flights, and studying like a crazy lady for tomorrows PhD Oral Examination Day.
Today was also rainy, humid, and included a trip for tacos to Juan Tequilas.
Back to Mississippi!
Back to Mississippi today to take my Comprehensive PhD Oral Exams!
While at the MSP Airport I stopped in a bookstore and looked for Patrick Rothfuss books, as I know that he signs copies when he goes through the Airport. While I expected to find The Name of the Wind, I did not expect to find an autographed copy, but look what I found! A autographed copy!
The flights down were luckily uneventful, but my flight to Gulfport had two military dogs on it. They were incredibly well behaved and if you did not know they were there, you never would have noticed them. I said to the guy sitting next to me that they were better behaved than the most kids that fly and the guy said they were better behaved than his kids!
So back in Mississippi or as I like to refer to it, the land of the frizzy hair. Seriously the humidity, in April, is insane.

Sven glad to be back
Sven Goran Eriksson insists he is happy to have returned to management after a year out of the game.
By Lewis Rutledge
Last Updated: 09/08/07 11:45am
Sven Goran Eriksson insists he is happy to have returned to management after a year out of the game.
Eriksson was linked with a number of different clubs after he stepped down as England boss at the end of the World Cup, but did not take another job until being appointed by Manchester City in July.
He has been quick to make his mark at Eastlands, signing eight new players in little over a month.
The Swede still intends to bolster his squad further, but is pleased with the work he has already done and is looking forward to the season ahead.
"I like it very much here and I hope I will like it even more in May," he told the club's official website. "It's good and for me personally coming back to football it's great.
"We have done a lot of deals now and I suppose we haven't finished yet.
"It's good to be back even if it has been a hectic few weeks.
"The preparation we've done has been very good. We've been very lucky with very few injuries, even if now (Andreas) Isaksson has a long-term injury."
Mpenza ruled out
Eriksson has confirmed that Emile Mpenza will not be fit for Saturday's game against West Ham as he continues to struggle with a leg muscle injury.
But the Belgian could be available for City's first home game against Derby in midweek.
Eriksson said: "Emile will start training with us on Sunday and hopefully be ready for the Wednesday game.
"He will not take part in Saturday's game."

We roared with laughter when we read the letter from a woman who told us that her uncle's little terrier had cured his long-standing case of athlete's foot.
Every evening when he got home, he would take off his shoes and socks, put his feet up, and read the newspaper. The dog would run to him and lick his feet all over in affectionate greeting.
In a few months, he realized that the athlete's foot that had plagued him was no longer a problem.
Dog saliva does have some antimicrobial properties. Dutch researchers have identified compounds in human saliva called histatins that have antifungal activity. Canine saliva may also have similar properties.
Do not try this remedy if the skin is broken, however, since dogs can carry bacteria in their mouths.

Definition - What does Servicer mean?
A servicer is a person who delivers documents from the court to people whom they are addressed to. These documents include summonses, writs, court orders, or any other legal documents. The court often uses servicers to make sure that the document reaches the intended recipient without any doubts, and with absolute certainty,
Justipedia explains Servicer
An example of a task that a servicer may complete is to deliver a restraining order to a person whom the court has issued one for. After a servicer delivers this order, then the receiving party cannot deny having received it. Courts have many documents that must be delivered, and so servicer are used quite frequently. When the receiving party gets the legal document from the servicer, then he or she is said to have received official notice of the legal action.

Thanks DD for the reply
The shrink in the ER said that I was put on way too high a start dose, and that sent me into the manic phase, though in a way I had that happen, so that I can truly get this managed properly.. I was told that the Serequel may cause me to gain some weight.. but actually I haven't had as much of an appetite - and my sweet cravings for the most part have dropped (except a couple of hiccups) I am actually not hungry that much at all.. and in the past I have binged.. that's eased up quite a bit. Yeah I think the main struggle I will have is finding peace, it seems so elusive. sighs.
The Psych outpaitent clinic I am going to is looking into getting me a new GP - as my GP should never have put me on 60 mgs of Cymbalta to start.. she's a good doctor, but not trained in in psychiatric care at all..
Thank you Serefena :)
I just had a chat with management from work as I am on short term disability - they said I sounded fine..and why can't I work. I told him sounding fine and being fine are 2 different things. Before I got a BP episode, I had booked my holidays to go home, and now I really need to go home. I was told if I left and flew home I would lose my job. So I can't go home and get family support - this makes things even worse.. I feel like prisoner, and I can't afford to quit my job.. I'm not sure what to do now..

The master bedroom has a king size bed and is appointed with warm tropical tones, high-quality kitchenware, wireless internet & cable on big flat-screen TV mentioned above.

The living room has a really comfortable Thomasville, pull-out sofa sleeper for two more occupants. Air conditioning (optional), gas BBQ, infinity pool, spa & privacy.
The beach park has beach gear to rent, a pavilion, showers, and restrooms. You can relax in the sand under the shade of coconut trees or discover the wonders of the reef.

I am the manager with my husband. Born in Hawai'i, we paid our career dues in other states and bought real estate here (1st a lot) in 1983 and then more. We are so happy to live aloha, that we feel younger every day. This is our grandchild, Leo Lai Oin. When our daughter Jasmin graduated college, she came over, and within 7 years had married and now we are the perfect ohana in the perfect place. We value the complete and personal service to every one of our guests, as we did having traveled here for more than 30 vacations before moving here permanently in 1999. Ask us anything, as we are here to help and share the Spirit of The Island life; caring and growing as we demonstrate that it is more than the material that makes the difference in our lives. It is the Spirit of understanding the traveler; the need for privacy, with instructions that save you time, so you can play to your hearts content. We are personally hands-on and make sure that this home is spotless and filled with lots of fun, so every night, as well as day, is packed full of Joy!
Owner/Property Manager purchased this condo in 2005
We took on this property because there is absolutely no better location, if you are not an adept swimmer to be able to feel the healing waters of Hawai'i around you in the hard-to-explain experience only the Ocean can provide. The ancient Hawai'ians say that, to maintain optimum health, one should be in the ocean at least 1/2 hour every day. There is no other beach in Kona that allows everyone to feel safe in the ocean, as it is the only one protected by a reef far out of this nature.
What can be better than new, clean with extra windows to let in the health-giving light and yet have drapes that block it out if you dance too late and want to sleep in. THE VIEWS FROM your windows and lanai make the difference. Even grandma (tutu) will not forget this vacation for the rest of her life.
We will all of our vacationers a detailed list of activities and restaurant discounts & hours and volcano insight you cannot find on the internet. The views of the beach are taken from this condo and it is impossible to get closer in any other accommodation in the area. Get snorkel and surf lessons right across from this ocean condo. Our daughter is not athletic and truly enjoyed the surf lessons.
Our second time in this condo. It is a typical high quality condo with lots of beach towels and beach gear. Great view. Great location. Pool was warm. Best snorkel beach across street. One can run or walk on the street in front of the condo. Food and supplies at the top of the hill. Kona Ocean Adventures is the best.
We went here for a big family trip and my Mom and I stayed in this condo. My siblings and their families stayed in other units in the same location. We had the best unit! Although this building doesn't have an elevator, our view was fantastic. I loved being on the top floor, as the breezes just flowed through the house. The furnishings were comfortable. The location, across from the beach, allowed us to leave our valuables at home and just carry what we needed across the street. It's so nice to not have to load up the car for a quick snorkel. It isn't in the madness of the main strip which allowed us to avoid that area when we were traveling around the area, but close enough that it was very convenient when we wanted to go there. I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect unit and I'm so glad I found this one!
Just for additional information for anyone who is looking for condo's in this same building, one of my siblings had a bottom floor unit and it was stifling hot. They had to keep the A/C on at all times, so they couldn't hear the sounds of the ocean. Their view was obstructed by shrubs and trees, and they thought they were getting direct access to the pool but there was a wall around their patio area and they had to go completely around.
Another sibling had a unit in the 2nd building on the top floor. It had an elevator. They enjoyed their unit, but they didn't have quite the view we had, or the breezes.
If you just have 2 people, and don't mind working out your calves, this is the place for you!
We stayed here for a week in June. The location is clearly the best! The beach across the street is wonderful for snorkeling, lots of fish, turtles, even has a lifeguard. We'd go out first thing in the morning, when the sun isn't too hot, and the water is calm. A great way to start every day. It's also close to shopping and restaurants, so we didn't have to drive much to find everything we needed.
The condo is beautiful, has all the amenities, and a great view of the ocean. The lanai is private, since there is no building next door. We had all our meals sitting out on their comfortable lanai, watching birds in the trees, and the ocean. We never needed the A/C - all the ceiling fans plus great breezes (being both next to the ocean and a corner unit) made it quite comfortable.
Do remember that there is no elevator (which wasn't a problem for us.)
Mahalo!! I hope we'll be back!
We found this condo very comfortable and it exceeded our expectations. It was larger than we expected from the photos. We loved the wall of greenery on the next property that made it so private and was home to a great variety of birds we enjoyed watching. We had many meals on the lanai taking in the spectacular ocean view. It was great to have beach chairs etc available for our use. Ali'i Drive was very noisy during the day but quieted at nite.... a small price to pay for such a beautiful location across from the beach. Comfortable king bed and great to have 2 very nice and spacious bathrooms. One minor caveat: not in a gated condo complex, make sure doors are locked in eves & at night and car is empty. Overall, terrific condo!
We have been to Hawaii 7 times and all the islands. This unit was excellent. Modern kitchen, W&D, plenty of towels, lots of beach chairs. two boogie boards and even some snorkel gear. The beach across the street is the best snorkeling on the Big Island. Great location for jogging. Short drive to downtown Kona or to Target or Walmart. KTA at the top of the hill was a full grocery store. Several restaurants there too. We did grill twice. Nice lanai with a view.
Professional booking agents.
Good to know: the bed was very soft, there are stairs to the third floor unit and the screen door opened the wrong way. We will check this unit first for our next trip.
This location was excellent for our needs. We snorkeled in the ocean across the street every morning to start our day. We drove to the other side of the island to Hilo 3 x's and down to the Volcanoes national park twice. Up North we visited the beautiful Hupuna Beach and played until sunset. We explored the towns, shopped and ate out a lot. It was nice to come back to a nice cool shower and calm/clean place to stay. love the palm tree's eye level outside where we sat and ate breakfast with the sunrise each morning. Loved April, who made the whole thing easy. I have already recommended her to my daughter who will be going to the big Island in October. Thank you April. Lots of blessings to you too!

What BBC's popular political TV magazine Panorama yesterday night called the greatest heist in history or Daylight Robbery seems now to be going into another round of new discoveries.
In the more than one hour long broadcast Panorama's Jane Corbin tells us some of the stories of those who became rich from the war and those who stood up against the crimes and "got burned".
Now more than 70 whistleblower cases threaten to reveal the scandals behind billions of dollars worth of waste, theft and corruption during the Iraq war.
… A total of $23bn (£11.75bn) is under scrutiny…The US justice department has imposed gagging orders which prevent the real scale of the problem emerging…
If you believe that such corruption happens by pushing around brown envelopes with money under the table, sorry, but that might just be a very small part of it. We have compiled a short list of the most common activities identified within Iraq below. Some of them have also been mentioned in the report of Panorama yesterday night.
- Double counting and creating costs on paper by shell or front companies (offshore, within "befriended" countries or countries with no legal prosecution agreements)
- Bribing or threatening of officials reviewing or approving contracts
- Charging for goods and services never delivered
- Charging for goods and services of unacceptable or cheaper quality and overcharging (10 times the market price or more) for goods and services
- Rouging and defrauding the procurement processes – excluding bidders, declaring unfit bidders acceptable, overruling conflicts of interests (please note the continuous issues raised by GAO and others with the procurement processes of many government agencies in general / detail)
- Allowing the contractors to set their own price by cost plus profit contracts vs. contracts with agreed price / costs that went through a competitive bidding process
- Gagging whistleblowers or staff with inside knowledge including demoting them, taking them off the job or even threatening / attacking them up to destroying them professionally, physically and psychologically
- Stealing of goods and reselling them again through contracts
- Stealing of (physical) money delivered to pay for goods or services or Iraqis
- Use of unqualified staff happy to comply and paying them way over normal salaries
- Discrediting, destroying or even killing insiders that would be willing to talk with knowledge that could threaten
- Use of Internationally coordinated non-profit organizations as front for "money channeling" operations
- Use of "creative accounting" to invent costs and services never occurred / delivered
At the same time many administration officials are kept complacent by installing huge groups of staff that don't do much other then creating massive piles of paper and blunder to cover up these activities. Other approaches and rewards include promoting these rogue government staffers (someone has to manage these groups) and by replacing managers and staff who try to do their jobs with some that will be complacent with the approaches taken by this administration(s).
And this for sure can in no way just been called "waste and mismanagement". Sometimes when looking at the details of these "operations" you see that the staff put on the tasks – while not having the capabilities / skills to do the actual tasks, they seem to have been trained in sabotaging efforts of others to do their job properly and in many cases have acted orchestrated and coordinated to pursue these unethical activities.
Downplaying this as "waste and mismanagement" then becomes a general protection mechanism to shield off against prosecution and should be followed up as such. Just look into details how the sleaze is happening, which government counterparts must have been involved in the processes and how opponents have or continued to be witch-hunted. Nobody with a basic common sense and some knowledge of how government contracts are awarded / managed will actually believe a single word that this could happen by just a few individuals involved.
Most likely any prosecutor that has investigated organized crime like the Italian Mafia or similar organizations in other countries will be able to provide additional and more elaborate schemes how these groups siphon money out of the tax payers pockets and from others. These state attorneys will most likely also be telling you that it is the "wall of silence" that you first have to break through before one can be successful in prosecuting these criminals.
The laws and approaches to protect whistleblowers and witnesses from further criminal acts by the profiteers trying to cover up are in place, but the organizations within our societies that have been put in charge to protect us from such crimes were seemingly the first that have been overtaken and undermined by the power networks behind these scams. These organizations now instead of doing their job are hunting the citizens who speak up against those injustices and crimes.
We suggest that the best strategy to conquer this sleaze, corruption and other criminal activities might be – like with other organized crime – to follow the money. But then who will do this as long as the top profiteers and government members are not been investigated and prosecuted for these undeniable war crimes.
And a "finding fee" e.g. a percentage of the money returned to the taxpayers could also proof useful in many cases, plus – not to be overlooked – that the laws created in recent years to fight terrorism could be applied on these criminals without the "bending" seen in many cases when used to act against minor offenders or "normal" citizens.
While the US Congress has undertaking various investigations and hearings not much tangible or concrete results have come from this. So far, according to the report by Panorama, no major US contractor has been taken to court – only 5 individuals have been put into prison and just 50 more investigations are currently ongoing regarding this outrageous embezzlement and fraud cases.
Let us also not forget the thousands of Americans and servicemen from other countries that went to war, died or have been mutilated and are injured for the rest of their life. They since had to find out that they had not only been lied to in the first place about the cause, but that their sacrifices were merely to secure the profits and protection for the crimes of the war profiteers.
It's going to be our children, their children and grandchildren that will pay for the bills run up by these crimes. This could of course been called a new form of slavery but still – even while some say that its already too late – there are ways to get some of these monies back. It will require the public will and this will must be strongly articulated by a broad spectrum of our societies.
But history unfortunately tells us a different story and if you take one of the most recent examples of massive scam and sleaze within government operations – the reunification of Germany since 1989 – where after investigations by hundreds of state attorneys and a few minor results (plus some death / kind of suicides of officials) – yes, you might already seen it coming – not much else has happened. All the bigger cases remained unresolved or have not even been touched and the thieves went off without ever been charged. This might also be the understanding of the culprits in Iraq that seemingly don't even see a reason anymore to cover up much of their traces.
And it is not like no one could find these criminals – like with the example of the German reunification – if you go above a certain level in government, most of the senior officials do know what actually happened and where the money went. But out of pure self interest none of them will talk if not forced to do so. And this is what has to happen in a first step.

So says the Trump Administration.
No one will be adversely affected by the Republicans' new health care bill once it's enacted and more people would be covered, according to Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price.
"I firmly believe that nobody will be worse off financially in the process that we're going through," Price insisted when pressed by NBC's Chuck Todd during Sunday's "Meet The Press." "They'll have choices that they can select the kind of coverage that they want for themselves and for their family, not the government forces them to buy."
"There's cost that needs to come down, and we believe we're going to be able to do that through this system," he added. "There's coverage that's going to go up."

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) LSU named its new head football coach at a press conference at noon on Saturday, November 26.
Coach Ed Orgeron, a Louisiana native, will be the 33rd head coach of the LSU Tigers football coach.
Orgeron apparently has beaten the odds. Thought to be a severe long shot when he first took over as the interim head coach, Orgeron is expected to be named LSU's permanent head football coach at noon press conference on Saturday, November 26.
LSU Vice Chancellor and Athletic Director Joe Alleva said the coaching search would never come down to a bidding war. Alleva stated Orgeron was the only candidate to receive an offical offer from LSU for head coach. "We had our man all along. This is his dream job," said Alleva.
An emotional Orgeron took to the podium and thank the board of supervisors, his family, choking up thanking his mother and father, and most of all the LSU football players. Orgeron said the LSU head coaching job is the best in the country and it has always been his dream job.
When asked about what the coaching staff would look like, especially the position of offensive coordinator, Orgeron said, "We're going to look at recruiting the best offensive coordinator in college football."
After a 2-2 LSU start that got veteran head coach Les Miles fired, Orgeron led the Tigers to a 5-2 finish, most recently with a 54-39 win at the Texas A&M Aggies Thanksgiving night.
The fiery Cajun endeared himself to many Louisiana natives this season, although a 16-10 home loss to the Florida Gators was viewed as perhaps a catastrophic blow to Orgeron's chances of keeping the gig full-time.
As LSU entered the final week of the regular season, Florida State's Jimbo Fisher and Houston's Tom Herman seemed to be the top two targets for the LSU position, with Orgeron strongly lingering.
Negotiations with Fisher apparently were extremely frustrating and never got very far, while Herman still wanted to give the Texas Longhorns a strong look entering the weekend.
LSU athletic director Joe Alleva and the powers that be then decided they wouldn't wait on Herman, who many thought would choose the Longhorns anyway and instead immediately offered the position to Orgeron.
The 55-year old Orgeron has only been a college head coach once and it didn't go well. Orgeron was 10-25 overall, 3-21 in the SEC with the Ole Miss Rebels from 2005-2007.
However he was 6-2 as an interim head coach with the USC Trojans in 2013 and has vowed he is a much different coach today, than the man who roamed the sidelines in Oxford.

From the Queen to the Chief Executive Trailer (2001)
10 May 2001 102 mins
In 1985, Cheung Yau-ming (David Lee Sheung-man) was one of five miscreants involved in the brutal murder of a white couple. As he was still a juvenile, the court ordered that he be "detained at Her Majesty's pleasure," a clause in British law allowing the government to imprison young offenders for an indefinite period. The film picks up in 1997, with Yau-ming (now 28) being paid a visit by a girl named Cheung Yue-ling (Ai Jing). With only six months to go before the Handover, Yau-ming and 22 other prisoners hope to have their sentences determined soon, fearing what might happen should the decision about what to do with them become the province of incoming Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa.

|More [Interviews]
Dan McAvinchey: Jartse, let's begin with your most recent CD "Time Of Change". Was this project self-released, or did you get a label to release it?
Jartse Tuominen: My latest CD was released by Rockadillo records. It is a Finnish record company which has lots of great Finnish jazz/blues/rock fusion bands on their label. I liked their style, and how well they treat artists, so I contacted them, and they wanted to publish my CD.
Dan McAvinchey: How would you describe your musical style to someone who has never heard you before?
Jartse Tuominen: I think the best way to describe it is: Joe Satriani meets the Mahavishnu Orchestra (odd timing instrumentals... weird music, hehe!)
This is what also has been written: "How to describe his music? Let's assume that Billy Cobham, Steve Gadd, Al Di Meola, Steve Vai, Steve Morse, Billy Sheehan and Jaco Pastorius were in the audience at a Jartse Tuominen gig. They would certainly recognize aspects of their own music, but they would not be able to keep their butts on the bench."
Dan McAvinchey: How did you write the songs for "Time Of Change"? Was it a collaborative approach, or did you work alone?
Jartse Tuominen: I wrote all instrumental songs by myself, and two songs with Yvonne Charbonneau, who is the singer on those tracks.
The songs came out really easily, and I was so lucky to have an amazing band in the studio with me. Of course, all players brought their own spices for the songs.
Dan McAvinchey: What are you striving to achieve musically, particularly on your last album?
Jartse Tuominen: I think it is to have different layers on songs - melodies and different time signatures under melodies - that makes songs interesting. It's cool when you are able to find new things from songs after listening several times.
I tend not to force the songs or the album to be a certain style - or in some pre-decided format. I trust my instincts and record whatever feels good.
Dan McAvinchey: How do you feel about the current crop of guitar-oriented magazines and how they are currently covering instrumental music?
Jartse Tuominen: Well, it seems like guitar magazines are focused on just guitarists from mainstream bands, and they are not always the best players on the planet. There are lots of great jazz, fusion and progressive players who never get featured in those magazines. And you can same the same about instrumental CDs. It is strange because that's what guitar playing is all about - at least for me.
Dan McAvinchey: Tell us a little about the gear you primarily use to get your sound.
Jartse Tuominen: I use Mesa/Boogie amps and Gibson Les Paul guitars. No pedals. Well, a wahwah pedal every now and then. Good amp and good guitar, that's all you need!
Dan McAvinchey: Are you using any social media sites to promote your music?
Jartse Tuominen: Yes, I've been using Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Fandalism. Those works great, I just need to learn how to use them better! LinkedIn is pretty good also for making contacts.
Dan McAvinchey: From a publicity and promotion standpoint, what do you find is working best for you at the moment?
Jartse Tuominen: Radio and TV are still a big thing, meaning the ones which are focused on independent music. We've found a lot of radio channels lately from all over the world - that really makes me feel good.
And of course Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Fandalism work well. Any bad experiences I've had are from mainstream radio stations with playlists.
Dan McAvinchey: Why do you think certain music fans prefer instrumental music over traditional vocal oriented music?
Jartse Tuominen: I always thought that a good melody doesn't need lyrics. Actually many times bad words can ruin a good song. For me it's more important to get the feeling from a good melody, and of course the feeling you get from talented and inspirational players when they make instruments talk and have discussions with each other.
Dan McAvinchey: Other than guitar-oriented music, what kind of music do you like to listen to?
Jartse Tuominen: I do listen to everything, from classical to country really, as long as there are good players in the band! I mostly listen to instrumental music.

There has been a lively debate about the constitutionality of the Democrats' health-care legislation, one that has drawn in not only academics and journalists but Senator Orrin Hatch and Speaker Nancy Pelosi. I don't intend to try to settle that debate — I haven't done the necessary historical work on the commerce clause, the Tenth Amendment, the taxing power, and their interrelation — but instead want to make a comment on it.
In my view, the debate has been unduly narrow in two ways. The first is that too many commentators have dwelt on the question of how the courts are likely to treat the legislation — or, at best, what they should do consistent with their precedents — rather than on the distinct question of whether the Constitution, properly interpreted, grants Congress the power to enact this legislation. We should never accede to the proposition that the Constitution is whatever the courts say it is. That these questions are often substituted for each other is a symptom of the spread in our political culture of the assumptions of judicial supremacy.
The second is that the debate has looked exclusively at the constitutionality of making health insurance compulsory. Conservatives have been pressing this case both because the case law gives them an opening and because enactment of a requirement to buy insurance really would mark a change in the relation of the federal government to individuals.
The argument that has not been made (or at least not made often) is that the whole legislation — not just the individual mandate — exceeds the constitutional powers of the federal government. This classic conservative position has gone unvoiced. I suspect that it has done so because, again, of the influence of judicial supremacy. We have been trained to think that saying that an overhaul of American health care exceeds the legitimate powers of Congress is equivalent to calling for the judicial invalidation of health-care legislation (along with much of modern government, by implication). Since that would be absurd to call for, we don't say it.
At the risk of being thought quixotic, let me suggest that we need to revive a dormant tradition of legislative reasoning and argument about the Constitution. In this kind of constitutional reasoning considerations that it would be improper for judges to invoke have their place. A congressman ought to be able to say — should say — that it is ludicrous to think that the Reid bill is necessary to make commerce among the states in health care regular, and that nobody guided by the Constitution's design of a limited government would even begin to contemplate it. That type of defense of the Constitution judges are not equipped to do.

Santa Fe, NM (PressExposure) February 07, 2009 -- One after another, war criminals at the Nuremberg Trials in Germany professed innocence or ignorance about their role in the Holocaust of World War II.
Some of them blamed Hitler. Others blamed his henchman Himmler. Both men were conveniently dead.
Some of the war criminals were arrogant and loud in their testimony. Others were polite and quiet. Hermann Goring, Hitlerâs number two man, admitted his role. In fact, he defended it and was mystified as to why he was in jail.
He was simply following orders.
People from all over the world followed the trials. It was mind-boggling for most to grasp the imprisonment and killing of 6 million Jews. Not to mention millions of non-Jews. There was also the plotting and carrying out of the war in Europe which couldnât be ignored.
Margot B. Brant (Bortlin) was one of those translators in the courtroom during the Nuremberg Trials. On Nov. 3, sixteen, two-sided, 16-inch, official vinyl recordings from the trials belonging to her went on the block at Doyle, New York. Contemporary sound recordings of the proceedings are extremely rare.
The Nuremberg lot sold for $2,375.

The Western is arguably the most popular and enduring form in cinematic history, and the acknowledged master of that genre was John Ford. His Westerns, including The Searchers, Stagecoach, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, have had an enormous influence on contemporary U.S. films, from Star Wars to Taxi Driver.
In John Ford Made Westerns, nine major essays by prominent scholars of Hollywood film situate the sound-era Westerns of John Ford within contemporary critical contexts and regard them from fresh perspectives. These range from examining Ford's relation to other art forms (most notably literature, painting, and music) to exploring the development of the director's reputation as a director of Westerns. While giving attention to film style and structure, the volume also treats the ways in which these much-loved films engage with notions of masculinity and gender roles, capitalism and community, as well as racial, sexual, and national identity.
Contributors include Charles Ramirez Berg, Matthew Bernstein, Edward Buscombe, Joan Dagle, Barry Keith Grant, Kathryn Kalinak, Peter Lehman, Charles J. Maland, Gaylyn Studlar, and Robin Wood.
About the Authors:
Gaylyn Studlar is Director and Professor of Film Studies and English at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She has published widely on issues of gender in Hollywood cinema. She is coeditor (with Matthew Bernstein) of Visions of the East: Orientalism in Film.
Matthew Bernstein, Associate Professor of Film Studies at Emory University, is author of Walter Wanger, Hollywood Independent.
"My name's John Ford. I make Westerns." Ford preferred to let his work speak for itself, and his abrasive encounters with film scholars have become legendary. In fact, "Pappy" Ford, who fancied himself a journeyman director, would probably have been perplexed by these two recent additions to the rapidly growing library of Ford film criticism. Arriving hard on the heels of Scott Eyman's comprehensive Print the Legend: The Life and Times of John Ford (LJ 10/1/99), McBride's weighty tome, several decades in preparation, paints a similar portrait: Ford was an insecure alcoholic whose gruff, even sadistic treatment of family, friends, cast, and crew masked his sensitive, sentimental nature. Complex and contradictory like many of his films Ford was a man who stood up to McCarthyite blacklisters but later churned out crude propaganda in support of the Vietnam war. He celebrated tradition, family, and community but was a miserable failure as husband and father. As Eyman did, McBride (Frank Capra; Steven Spielberg) draws on exhaustive research and interviews, but he has the advantage of a few memorably brief meetings with the Great Man himself. Ford left an impressive if uneven body of work, and McBride does it justice, examining each film in illuminating detail. Still, although McBride's book is very deserving, public and academic libraries that cannot collect both biographies should stick to Eyman's more streamlined telling. Studlar (film and English, Univ. of Michigan) and Bernstein (film, Emory Univ.) take readers into academic territory, offering nine essays on the work plus a "dossier" of articles on the man and filmmaker. Robin Wood leads off with a classic critique, questioning whether Ford's late films measure up to his early work. Other essays discuss the role of women and religion in Ford's film universe, and the hotly disputed controversy about whether his last epic Cheyenne Autumn was a "mea culpa" for previous insensitive portrayals of the American Indian. Westerns is recommended for academic collections. Stephen F. Rees, Levittown Regional Lib., PA. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

One Direction 'Drag Me Down' Video: Watch First Live Performance Of New Single!
One Direction performed "Drag Me Down" live for the first time on Friday, just hours after the surprise release of the new single. Watch below!
As Gossip Cop reported, "Drag Me Down" premiered late Thursday/early Friday morning without any prior warning. Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Harry Styles all announced on Twitter that the track, which will be featured on their upcoming fifth album, was available for purchase on iTunes. And purchase Directioners did.
The track went to number one on iTunes in just minutes, as Gossip Cop noted, becoming the fastest-selling song ever. And it conquered the top spot in not just a couple of countries, but a whopping 80. The success was a huge victory for the band, in part because it was the first new music since Zayn Malik's departure earlier this year.
But while the song was a gift for fans worldwide, the luckiest ones were in Indianapolis. Those at Friday's "On The Road Again" concert had the privilege of being the first fans to see One Direction perform "Drag Me Down" live. Clips immediately flooded the Internet afterward, with much social media talk centering on Styles' high note at the end.
Payne announced at the show that they had just finished their highly-anticipated fifth record the night before. And, due to unexpected early releases of their past four albums, he begged fans not to leak this one. Still feeling excitement after the concert, Horan tweeted, "well if that wasn't the coolest day ever then I don't know what was, drag me down is out, we performed it in Indy! sick day."
Tomlinson wrote, "Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick show tonight! Hope you liked drag me down!!!" And Styles posted, "Indianapolis you were lovely tonight. Glad we got to perform Drag Me Down for you. Thanks for having us. Hope you had a good time. H." Check out the video below, and tell us what you think! Note: Video no longer available.
